When Ghana commissioned a new hospital for its capital city Accra, the West African nation hoped to earn LEED certification, a prestigious rating of environmentally minded buildings. But "they believed there was very little hope for us to achieve it," says Pat Bosch, design director of Perkins + Will's Miami office and the project's lead architect. Much of the infrastructure that supports green building in the U.S. and Canada, where LEED is most common, doesn't exist in Ghana. But by rethinking the parameters of what a building should be, the architects were able to complete Africa's first LEED for Health Care–certified hospital.
"You can achieve so much more in terms of energy-efficient, smart buildings by simply doing the right things," Bosch says. "You don't have to over-cool, you don't have to over-light—there are ways of being more responsive to the environment. In the West, we're obsessed with creating these closed boxes."
Accra is a fast-growing, rapidly modernizing city. "Ghana and its Ministry of Health are a very visionary entity, and they have been progressing quickly in infrastructure," Bosch says. "They believe they need to build smart, resilient infrastructure and are addressing a lot of their challenges using the framework of sustainability as a platform—they want to be on the forefront of the continent in terms of sustainable building . . . LEED is a certification and it is a validation."
Still, Accra is a developing city with significant infrastructural and resource challenges. Electricity is unreliable. In 2014, when the project began, the city experienced blackouts 159 days of the year. The country is experiencing a drought and water is in short supply. Service interruptions are also routine. Moreover, the construction industry isn't as well versed in the building and maintenance practices that are common the the West. These conditions didn't support the installation of technically advanced mechanisms and materials. And even if the builders imported the materials commonly specified in LEED-certified buildings in the West, such a move wouldn't be wise long-term. "It's difficult to do LEED for Health Care, Usually, it's achieved when you use technology like smart shading," Bosch says. "Here we were working with brick-and-mortar construction and infrastructure that was unreliable . . . It would've been irresponsible to bring a lot of tech they couldn't maintain or operate successfully."
So instead of imposing Western building practices and techniques to achieve LEED for Health Care Silver, Perkins + Will looked for ways to design and build that were rooted in Accra.
That included natural ventilation. "This attitude of natural ventilation is not something that hospitals in the West look into because of infection control and temperature control, so you rarely have the operators or the facilities managers willing and able to go there," Bosch says. But it was a necessity since Perkins + Will couldn't rely on a technologically complex HVAC system. The hospital even includes outdoor rooms for large groups (culturally, most of the waiting at hospitals happens outdoors).
A solar hot water heater—made possible by the hot climate—helps curb reliance on electricity. In the event of service interruptions, an emergency generator can power the entire hospital.
Another by-product of limited power is the layout of the building itself. Elevators weren't possible because of their power draw so the architects designed a long, but stout, building. A fully walkable ramp connects the four stories and is prominently featured in the design. "The building was fully driven by the fact that we could not rely on an elevator in vertical," Bosch says. "Hospital 'streets' weave through the building, and since we had to think about it this way, we celebrated it."
The building isn't connected to a municipal water supply, and all of the water used is either trucked in or harvested on-site. Ghana is experiencing a drought, but when it does rain, water is collected and stored in cisterns buried underneath the building.
The $1 million question remains: Was it worth pursuing LEED, a system designed for buildings in Western settings, in a non-Western setting? Bosch says yes—but with conditions that ought to be thought of in the West, too.
"I think LEED is a great platform to start with and frame projects, but it should not be the only qualifier," she says. "Do what is smart, what is efficient, and do not do certification the way some other people do, which is 'buying' points [through unnecessary design details]."
To Bosch, the real lesson in applying LEED to the hospital in Accra is more about what the West can learn. "What is wonderful in working on these projects is the benefit of bringing ideas to projects in the West," she says. "We're able to prove that sustainability is doable and it doesn't take high-tech solutions. Simplification yields a lot more results."
Update: This post has been updated to reflect the hospital earning a LEED for Health Care Silver rating

As I wrote my last column, "Three Rules for Reconfirming E-mail Lists," I realized that I haven't written about the dos and don'ts for writing and delivering a welcome message to new subscribers. Whether you use, or should be using, confirmed opt-in (COI) depends on many factors. COI is the gold standard. It has many benefits and some disadvantages.
Regardless of what kind of opt-in you use, you'll send a first message to each new subscriber. The what, when, and how of that first message is key. It sets the tone for the relationship. As with any relationship, you never get a second chance to make a first impression.
Explain Why
This takes on added importance if there's a time lag between subscription and first message. Remind recipients when, where, and how they registered. Otherwise, they may not remember having subscribed or they may not connect your e-mail with the Web site they visited a few days earlier.
Sometimes an e-mail address is shared by two or more family members. Providing the details can avoid a situation where an angry spouse complains of spam. Whatever the reasons, the more you tell recipients about why they're receiving your message, the fewer complaints and issues you'll have.
The number one way to reduce complaints among new subscribers is to provide a clear and accurate explanation of why someone is receiving a message.
For example, something like this doesn't count and won't help: "You are receiving this message because you signed up on our Web site, or that of one of our affiliates, or contacted our customer support, or in some other way indicated a desire to receive e-mail from us."
However, this will: "You are receiving this e-mail because on Saturday, August 24 at www.example.com you signed up for our product updates newsletter."
Don't Delay
Your confirmation message should be sent quickly. Ideally, that means immediately upon receipt of the subscription. There can be reasons why a message takes time to work its way through your internal systems, but it's vital to make this happen as quickly as possible.
The greater the delay, the greater the disconnect among subscribers between their subscription behavior and the received e-mail. This leads directly to an increased complaint and opt-out rate.
Offer an Opt-Out
If you aren't using confirmed (double) opt-in, at the very least ensure there's a clear and easy opt-out mechanism in your confirmation message. Sure, it can be argued that this isn't legally required because the message is transactional in nature, but this is when recipients are most likely to change their mind.
When someone wants off your mailing list, making it hard — or even fighting with that person — does more harm than good. If you don't let them easily unsubscribe, many will use the TIS (this is spam) button instead, which harms your reputation, may result in delivery issues, and — most importantly — irritates your customers and prospects.
Explain What
This is your opportunity to set expectations. Even if your signup process discloses what someone signs up for, it's worth repeating. If you send daily offers, yet subscribers don't expect them, subscribers will find out pretty soon and may be upset. Tell them up front what they're going to get, and how often, so they can choose to join or not.
If you offer a profile management center, this is also a great place to get new subscribers to ensure their profile is accurate and that their subscription preferences are what they really want. If you send a variety of communications, your subscribers may or may not realize just how many of them they agreed to when they first signed up. This is especially true for off-line subscription processes.
The first e-mail you send to a new subscriber is where you set and manage expectations. Your efforts will be rewarded if you do this successfully and then meet those expectations.
Until next time,
Join us for ClickZ Presents: Online Marketing Summit, September 25 at the Sheraton San Diego.

worth watching.
We highly enjoyed the show and the meal! Would recommend as an evening adventure.
This tour was amazing!
The service is terrible. The waitress was very rude. And the courses took a way to long to be served. The dessert only came when the show was over.
The food is inedible. The soup was salty. The meat was very hard. And the Cheesecake was made with gelo.
The Tango show was amateur. It looked like more as taping dance than Tango. The wardrobe was awful as well. Very badly coordinated. WHen the dancers were changing clothes they left a video running, for about three minutes, and that happened several times during the show.
I have never had an issue with any trip on Viatar... always love them and will use them again. But, this Madero Tango was not good. Was picked up 1/2 hr late, was seated on a round table in the corner behind the stage. View was poor and never really saw the whole show.. We ordered steak, rare. It came so burned that we didn't eat it. Details listed a bottle of wine per person, but it was a glass of wine. I attempted to order another glass, but after 3 hrs, I gave up. Cheesecake is actually spongecake. On the receipt it says voucher so I guess were lucky they didn't scam us more.

Refrigerator - one of the most important things in the kitchen.
The ability to safely store perishable foods facilitates modern people's lives.
But sometimes this important unit starts to work too hard.
Unpleasant failure
The most common fault is occurringduring operation of refrigerators, - surprisingly low temperature. Moreover, its controller may be at a minimum, but in spite of this back wall is covered with ice or snow, and the products are transformed into blocks of colored ice. For these phenomena, there are several possible causes.
The first - from your refrigerator broke down the thermostat. This is the main component of any refrigerator is a device with a relay device, which is responsible for maintaining a constant temperature, it also prevents the occurrence of snow on the walls. If the thermostat relay is broken, the controller works out of time, significantly lowering the temperature. The relay can be damaged due to mechanical damage or banal penetration of moisture into the electrical connection of the thermostat. Repair Specialists usually check the status of the thermostat, change its parts or the entire device.
The second reason - refrigerant leakage. The main component of the refrigerator cooling - freon. This gas can evaporate due to the appearance of cracks in the cooling circuit. This can lead to the fact that the refrigerator will be a strong frost and refuse to shut down. Specialists determine the leak of Freon, or replace the sealed equipment.
If your refrigerator immediately demonstrates a complex fault, probably "fly" the electronic control unit. In this case, you should immediately call the service center.
The third option - clogged capillary tube,and that contains the refrigerant. These tubes are periodically become clogged, which substantially lowers the operating temperature. To resolve this problem, special equipment repairers clean clogged pipes, wires welding and filling activities, if necessary.
superzamorozki mode
Turning superzamorozki regime may lead tounpleasant consequences. In this case, it suffices to check the settings of your refrigerator and put it in the food storage mode, turning off the superzamorozki.
If your refrigerator hums badly, then it is not level. Try to change its position, it can reduce the noise level.
If your refrigerator as a whole workssatisfactory, keeping the temperature at a predetermined level, but continuously at the rear wall there is a layer of ice or snow, which means that the sealing unit is broken. Most likely, torn rubber seal on the door perimeter. You can try to seal the gap on their own, but it is better to cause a wizard that will replace this with a new rubber that is much more reliable.

Plans to reboot David Bowie's iconic 1986 film Labyrinth have been revealed - and fans of the original aren't happy about it.
The remake, confirmed by The Hollywood Reporter, comes after a deal was made between Sony's TriStar company and The Jim Henson Co, with a script written by Nicole Perlman.
Despite being a flop at the time, the original Labyrinth - directed by Jim Henson and produced by George Lucas - became a cult hit years later thanks to Bowie's camp performance as the Goblin King in a film that also starred a young Jennifer Connelly.
Bowie penned five songs for the film, and Henson provided puppets that played many of the film's main characters.
The reboot news comes just weeks after Bowie's death from cancer at the age of 69.
This, along with the fact that many consider Labyrinth to be an untouchable childhood classic, led fans to slam the reboot plans on Twitter.
Some called them "disgraceful" and "disgusting".
A third said: "Not now - the original was perfect".
I hope all the Sony employees end up in the bog of eternal stench for even thinking about a #Labyrinth reboot.— Claret & Blue Mako (@WoWnut) January 24, 2016
Jim Henson and David Bowie are dead. A reboot of #Labyrinth is a disgusting idea.— Dustin Jacobs (@Dustin_Jacobs) January 23, 2016
WE DO NOT EVER NEED A LABYRINTH REBOOT. ESPECIALLY NOT NOW. THE ORIGINAL WAS PERFECT. https://t.co/ACiHNmBYH6— Ellen Rose (@icklenellierose) January 23, 2016
Okay but like...what would #Labyrinth even BE without #DavidBowie? Go home, Hollywood, you're drunk.— Alie Astrocyte (@alie_astrocyte) January 24, 2016
A Labyrinth reboot in the works? NOOOOOOOO There is only one goblin King #BowieForever— Melanie Usher (@mjgal) January 23, 2016
a Labyrinth reboot?! TOO SOON.— Britt Hayes, Esq. (@MissBrittHayes) January 23, 2016
Who do I need to speak to about preventing the #Labyrinth reboot? #disgraceful— Susie Booth (@susieqzer) January 23, 2016

Global Server Market Declines in Q2: IDC
The worldwide server market hit historic lows in the second quarter as the global economy continued to hammer the technology industry, according to analyst firm IDC. However, the aging of the server population and the introduction of new server processors from Intel and AMD promise an upswing in sales and revenue for the second half of 2009 and into 2010, the analysts said.The global recession continued to batter the worldwide global market in the second quarter, but IDC analysts expect sales to pick up in the coming quarters. In numbers released Sept. 2, IDC found that second-quarter global server revenues declined 30 percent-to $9.8 billion-over the same period in 2008, while shipments fell 30.4 percent. The revenue was the lowest for a quarter since IDC began tracking the market on a quarterly basis in 1996, and the shipment decline also was the largest on a year-over-year basis.
It marked the fourth consecutive quarter of revenue decline.

I have to agree with Jack Spatafora ("When's The Last Time You Threw A Snowball?") that we shouldn't suppress our inner child. No matter how old you grow, you can stay young at heart. A Twilight Zone episode "Kick the Can" does a take on this theme. Charles, a resident of a retirement home remembers the magic and wonder of his youth when he hears children playing kick the can outside his window. He feels the child within inviting him to revive the fun of childhood. His roommate Ben tells him he's an old fool and refuses to join him in a game of kick the can. But Charles and a few other residents do manage to steal outdoors. When Ben returns with the home director, they find only a group of children on the grass playing kick the can, one of whom Ben could almost say was Charles himself.
Emily Dickinson once wrote, "We turn not older with years, but newer every day." Wordsworth's heart leaped up when as a child he beheld a rainbow in the sky. "So be it when I shall grow old,/Or let me die!/ The Child is father of the Man."
When I was growing up on 40th Street near Kedzie Avenue---the towering Crane Company clock warning of the hour---my buddies and I would kick the can down the alley. Everyone would scatter to hide before the one who was "it" retrieved the can and began the hunt for the others. Or so I recall. I feel younger just thinking about it.

Virtual reality made headlines earlier this year when Facebook announced its plan to acquire Oculus VR, a company making virtual reality headsets. Industry experts say there could be an affordable headset on the market as early as next year. We'll examine the current developments in VR, and what this technology can achieve beyond gaming and entertainment. We'll also discuss potential drawbacks of this deeply immersive technology.

We are empty nesters with a daughter in Brooklyn and a son in Boston. We live in central New Jersey, but our work gives us the flexibility to get away and enjoy the Eastern Shore.
Roger and Meg Hayden purchased this house in 2007
What drew us to Cambridge? The relaxed lifestyle of the community and surrounding Eastern Shore, with its extensive waterfront and natural rural areas, historic charm and friendly folks. The town has seen an influx of great restaurants and shops as it has undergone revitalization in recent years. And it offers quick access to other historic Eastern Shore towns and easy day trips to Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington, DC, Atlantic beaches and Assateague Island. We also took the opportunity to buy and restore an antique cabin cruiser, fulfilling a long-time dream.
This beautiful 1910 home was perfect for our family to stay in while we joined together for our daughters wedding. The home was clean, comfortable, and well equipped. There were 10 of us and the home had plenty of room for all of us. Cambridge is an adorable town and the location is perfectly located and only a short walk to downtown. The charm of this home caused us to not want to leave.
Had the pleasure of staying here. Perfect location for Ironman less than a 1/2 mile to transition and finish line. Roger was very responsive to all my questions and provided so much useful information about the town and local attractions. The house was great, plenty of room for a couple of athletes and their families. The house had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. So much to do in Cambridge and the surrounding area. Will definitely stay again.
We enjoyed a nice long weekend. Roger and Meg were great, and provided lots of additional information about the town and local activities. The house was wonderful and relaxing for our whole family. There was plenty of space to accommodate our large group, and the house had everything that we needed. We are looking forward to renting the house again, maybe in the fall. Thanks again for making our stay so enjoyable.
Our 3 generational family enjoyed this large well equipped home. Roger was very accommodating when our adult children informed us that they would arrive a day earlier than originally planned. The infant bedding included made for pleasant comfortable sleeping arrangements. The large dining room table accommodated all of us and the well equipped kitchen & outdoor gas grill allowed us to dine at "home" with the entire family together. It was a great long weekend that was enjoyed by all.
The house was wonderful and had everything we needed. It was charming and relaxing for our whole family. The grandkids loved the basketball court and the dogs loved their walks thru the beautiful neighborhood. Roger was wonderful in sending us little tidbits on what was going in Cambridge. It was a plus that we were only 20 minutes from Layton's Chance Winery where my nephew got married. Look forward to renting house again maybe in the summer! Thanks again for making our stay such a pleasure.
It was perfect, the house was nice and relaxing. The house had everything we needed.
This was our first visit to Cambridge and we enjoyed the history and the little shops. The additional information Roger sent was great, and we would be returning to the area again.
Even the hurricane left so we could have beautiful days. The only thing was the Crab Claw restaurant we wanted to go to was closed due to the flooding but otherwise all others were open.
Even our Min-Pin "Lady" enjoy the visit and our daily walks around the block. She loves going for car rides.
We visited the Butterfly Boutique, Choptank Charlie's Emporium, and RAR brewing which all allowed Lady inside.
We are letting all our friends know about our stay and encouraging them to contact you for their lodging requests.
We thank them for sharing their house with us!

Swallowing difficulties are extremely common and result in a substantial reduction in the quality of life and increased morbidity and mortality related to malnutrition and complications related to regurgitation and aspiration. Unfortunately, our understanding regarding the pathophysiologic explanation for symptom generation is poor. During our first funding cycle, we explored the relationship between intrabolus pressure (IBP) and esophagogastric junction (EGJ) compliance as a metric for outflow resistance. This work highlighted the direct relationship between IBP and EGJ opening and was the foundation for the development of a new classification scheme for esophageal motor disorders, "the Chicago Classification." Despite this improved understanding regarding bolus transit dynamics, there were still significant unresolved issues focused on the lack of a true correlate for symptoms. Our previous work did suggest that the measure of IBP was much more complex than previously appreciated. It appeared that IBP had distinct components that were modulated by additional physiological and mechanical properties of the esophageal wall invisible to the standard manometric assessment. Using impedance techniques combined with manometry and high-resolution planimetry, we are now capable of assessing IBP within the framework of 4 specific phases of swallow function [1-esophageal accommodation, 2-esophageal compartmentalization, 3-esophageal stripping and 4- ampullary emptying]. We hypothesize that abnormalities in IBP at different stages of the swallow will be influenced by different disease states and that these changes will manifest as impaired esophageal emptying and increased symptoms. In order to better understand the complex relationship between IBP and the esophageal body, new techniques that focus on defining IBP along the continuum of the 4 phases of swallowing would be extremely important. We have created new methodology and analysis paradigms utilizing combined manometry with impedance that can accurately define the pressure gradients during each phase of swallowing with the added benefit of defining flow through the EGJ and the volume of bolus retention associated with impaired esophageal body function. Additionally, we have also refined impedance planimetry techniques to study the response of the esophageal wall to volumetric distention to study the mechanical response to IBP and the threshold for stimulating esophageal contractility. These tools and techniques have been developed at Northwestern and provide the needed detail to test our hypotheses focused on the role of abnormal esophageal wall mechanics in generating symptoms and complications. Our ultimate goal is to evolve the understanding of the pathogenesis of esophageal diseases beyond the current standards of motility patterns and to incorporate biomechanical principles into the management and treatment paradigms of these disorders. This work will build upon the previous success of the Chicago Classification by defining new important biomarkers of disease activity and clinically relevant phenotypes of dysphagia.
Swallowing difficulties are extremely common and symptoms of dysphagia result in a substantial reduction in the quality of life for patients regardless of th cause. Unfortunately, our current understanding regarding the physiologic cause of these symptoms is limited by a lack of tools to accurately describe the mechanics of esophageal emptying. This proposal will utilize new analysis techniques to understand the cause of symptoms and determine what can be done to improve esophageal function so that symptoms can be reduced.

The CR-H238i is a stereo receiver also referred to as a micro system that is part of Teac's Reference series and set for a fourth quarter 2010 release. Like the CR-H500NT it is an all in one unit with built in CD player, AM/FM tuner, USB port and iPod connectivity, although much cheaper since it does not have the wifi/ethernet, phono input or iPod Digital Direct USB port. It does however have an SD card slot conveniently located on the front along with the USB port, both of which may be used to play music in MP3 or WMA format. On the rear panel can be found the iPod port, along with two stereo pairs of auxiliary inputs and one pair of outputs all on RCA connectors. Digital audio output is provided by the optical out, allowing you to bypass the analog RCA outputs, and video through is possible when streaming from an iPod and using the optional Teac DS-20 iPod dock as it has both Video and S-Video outputs. Since this is a newly released product at the time of writing, information is not yet available regarding the use of a USB stick for recording like the tuner mentioned above, although the specs do indicate audio encoding when using the USB port.

Mitch Kupchak addresses Kobe and Lakers' future
I asked Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak about his June 3 breakfast meeting with Kobe Bryant, and Kupchak gave the impression that Bryant is on board with the Lakers' future and championship hopes.
"Very positive," Kupchak said Thursday night. "I would say it was a very positive meeting."
Kupchak reiterated the Lakers' focus on re-signing point guard Ramon Sessions when free-agent negotiations begin at 9:01 p.m. Pacific time Saturday night. He said Lakers players should be used to their names being rumored in trades by now, but Kupchak believes in what he has, too.
"If this group is kept intact ... I don't see why we couldn't be in the hunt (for an NBA title)," Kupchak said.

Bach or holiday home | Pakawau Beach | #19236
The bach is nestled among mature totara trees and is home to many native birds. It has a lovely open garden and an extensive view across the estuary which will fill up during spring high tides. It is only a 30 second walk across the other side of the road to a very safe swimming beach.
There are two kayaks to use and the garden and estuary are interesting safe places for children to play while parents sit and relax on the deck.
The living area is very small and cosy with an efficient wood burner to keep the house warm in the winter months. There are two good sized bedrooms that look across the estuary and are both light and well insulated; the larger bedroom has double glazing.
It is a great place to escape and relax and offers long beach walks where you can observe the many wading birds, collect shellfish or just beach fossick. There are many beautiful natural locations nearby to visit by car including Wharariki beach which is only a 20 minute drive. Whatever you choose to do you will come home feeling better for taking the time to stay here.
Special conditions: The house is very suitable for couples or a small family. The deck is less than a meter high and has not got railings, therefore would not be suitable for a toddler or baby without supervision. During the peak summer season a minimum booking for 4 nights is required.
2nd bedroom

These, you would think, are the winners of the Nineties, the favoured few who have survived recession, unemployment and redundancy. They are young and well-qualified enough to take their pick of jobs. If anyone can be said to "have it all", it must surely be these 25- to 35-year-olds. And they do have nearly everything - except intimacy. Loneliness is the price they pay for their high-flying lives.
It's not new for the young and single to exert a powerful influence upon our culture, mainly through music and their sexual mores. They have had that influence since the Fifties. But two things stand out about the singles of the Nineties. The first is that their influence is pervasive and powerful. It is not confined to music; it affects everything from the kind of houses that are being built to the growth of dating agencies, from the types of food that stock supermarket shelves to the kinds of holiday now on offer.
The second distinguishing feature of the singles of the Nineties is that they are not hopeful. In the past, single young people seemed to hold out the promise of revolution and change, a better future. They were idealistic and usually optimistic. Today's young singles are stressed, over-worked, and often simply sad. They lack intimacy and the trust that goes with it. They avoid emotional commitments. They seem spiritually at sea.
Take what is often most important to them: work. They operate in the high-pressured world of multi-skilled people, in delayered organisations. If they are self-employed, they must devote themselves to building up their business. If they work for an employer, they cannot expect to stay with the same company for decades. A few years at most and they are on the move in search of more money, better prospects, higher promotion.
The pursuit of money and ambition is used as a justification for their absurdly demanding working hours. They work to earn, but also because it provides the point to their lives. They get anxious when they are away from work. They go nowhere without their mobile phones and laptop PCs. "Technology was provided to buy more time and relaxation," said one tired young woman. "But now we are accessible 24 hours a day. Far from enjoying more leisure, I find there is no escape from work."
Caroline Gielnik, a stress expert at the the Institute of Directors, believes that working late often forms a comfort zone for lonely people. She regards work addiction as a form of obsession, which lies in a more deep-rooted fear of intimacy. So when they leave work, these young, single professionals are at their time of maximum exposure, when the gaping emotional hole in their lives opens up before them.
I watched three bachelors in a central London Sainsbury's just before 9pm last week. They were buying food targeted at people too tired or lonely to cook for themselves, and with nobody at home willing to cook for them. One man, Roderick, was queuing at the check-out to pay for a French stick, a chunk of cheese, a mango, a box of strawberries, a six-pack of beer ... and four tins of cat food.
A man I accosted in Marks and Spencer at closing time gave his name as Michael, and said he was a corporate banker. He was buying a bottle of cheap white wine and a takeaway supper. He said, "Meeting women at work is a minefield of office politics and political correctness. It's much easier and safer and less complicated to come here and buy for one. Hell, if I want company I can watch Northern Exposure or Friends." In any case, he said, since he had to get to work by 7am he was usually in bed well before midnight.
In a recent Mori opinion survey of their age- and income-group, nearly a third agreed with the statement: "I don't have time to spend cooking or preparing food." In the past 10 years, this has created a massive market for cook-chill TV suppers warmed in a microwave.
Nick Herbert is a food consultant at Marks and Spencer. Lasagne, he said, was the store's most popular "instant" dish, followed by the complete Chinese meal for one. But most striking, he suggested, was the sharp increase in sales of single-serving puddings, sticky toffee pudding being the most popular, followed by syrup sponge. Stressed and lonely individuals were seeking consolation in "treats" and comfort food of the kind their mother might have made, or food that might make them feel they were having an exotic evening out.
Food is not the only area where the culture of the single is rampant. In 1993, more than a quarter of UK households consisted of just one person: nearly twice as many as 30 years ago. The increase does not come from the ranks of the old, the mad, or the eccentric; they have always lived alone. There is a new category of solitaries made up of attractive and desirable young people. The fastest-growing section of the housing market is made up of young men buying homes in which to live by themselves.
They are addicted to style. The amount they spend on clothes would appal their parents and stupefy their grandparents. It is all part of a relentless, even obsessional pursuit of style. The same care and concentration that attends to the cut of a collar is lavished on their homes and furniture, down to the pedal bin in the bathroom (cylindrical stainless steel, Conran Shop, pounds 69). They set the agenda in fashion, the media, food, restaurants and clubs. Their influence spreads far beyond their ranks.
Their modishly empty warehouse flats or houses converted from a redundant church are featured in style magazines; the Sunday supplements invite them to list their three favourite restaurants - the more eclectic the better - or 10 favourite books, or six best cars. They buck the trend towards greenness and a social conscience. They don't feel guilty. They are not as shamelessly flash as their yuppie predecessors in the Roaring Eighties. They are less gregarious, more private; less extravagant, more discriminating; but their lives look a lot less fun. Certainly they dress more austerely, although those high-buttoned sober shirts of rigorous cut and neutral colour cost just as much as did the exuberant patterned numbers from Paul Smith 10 years ago.
They work in order to earn and earn in order to spend. Solitary high- spenders have been immensely profitable for the purveyors of many services undreamt-of 20 or 30 years ago. Takeaway meals, lonely-hearts columns, men's "lifestyle" (not "girlie") magazines; late-night shops; video hire; supermarket wines; cookery classes for men, body-building classes for women; dating agencies, singles holidays, cheap air-travel, sexual tourism, surfing the Internet ... all these benefit from a vast market.
They value all these objects as an opportunity for self-indulgence ("presents for the house"); self-advertisement ("look how discriminating my taste is; clock how much money I've got"); and self-definition ("I am the sort of person who can afford these sort of tricks"). But this display hides the absence of any deep emotional commitment.
For in all this consuming, what they are unconsciously doing is buying parenting, in the form of food and treats, to make up for the absence of the reassurance that parents - or a spouse - would otherwise supply. For despite being in work and earning good money, loneliness is prevalent among them. They disguise it all too well by joining sports clubs and gyms, roller-blading, eating out at weekends or going clubbing in shiny clothes.
Naturally they don't call it loneliness, which they regard as a stigma - the lonely always do. They define living alone as the pursuit of individuality. Yet loneliness is the most obvious and predictable consequence of late marriage and even later child-bearing.
It is not just that they find it difficult to establish relationships based on real intimacy. They even find meeting people difficult. Relationships with colleagues of the opposite sex - potential partners, cohabiters or spouses - are complicated by political correctness. Except in a few die- hard, macho City office environments, it is more prudent not to flirt.
The number of people using introduction agencies, as marriage bureaux prefer to be known, has doubled in the last 15 years, from around 50,000 in 1980 to 100,000 this year. There are an estimated 200 in the UK, of which some 25 per cent close every year, usually having taken the money and run, trusting to the embarrassment of clients not to pursue publicity. Many use accommodation addresses and are untraceable once they have folded.
Given these risks, many single people prefer to place an advertisement in one of the lonely hearts columns that have grown tenfold in recent years. Those in the up-market national newspapers have proliferated, catering as they do for an audience of young ABC1s.
There is no doubt that these single high-pressured lives come with an enormous downside: the aching loneliness that comes from lack of commitment. Asked by Mori in 1993 to list what they most disliked about being single, 37 per cent of single young people cited loneliness; 16 per cent sleeping alone; 15 per cent the lack of emotional security; 9 per cent felt unprotected; 8 per cent feared they would never have children; 7 per cent hated cooking and eating alone. It forms a bleak catalogue of the terrors of the single life, in which it is hard to recognise the joys of bachelordom so ardently recommended by Cosmo and GQ.
It is my theory, based on dozens of conversations, that the single greatest reason why this generation avoids commitment is the failure of marriages in their parents' generation. They have become suspicious of commitment, worried that it will cramp their style and ambition.
When I married in the early Sixties, we were both 22, and no one, least of all us, thought twice about it. Most of my contemporaries were walking up the aisle at about the same age. That was just before things really began to swing. Since then we've had the Pill, flower power, women's liberation, feminism, equal opportunities legislation and political correctness, all of which have done their bit to alter the way the sexes meet, mate and relate.
Today's young are marrying later than their parents, if at all; later than a generation unencumbered by war has ever done. When my stepson married at 20, the general reaction was one of astonishment. "He's how old? And his girlfriend is 21? But they're so young!" In that year, 1992, the average age of first marriage for women was 26, and for men, 28.
One-third of this age-group cohabit, most of them claiming that their pair-bond or family unit is at least as secure as their parents' marriages. They need no formalities to undo the relationship. They decide between them who gets the flat, the furniture, the cat, and the CDs, and go their separate ways.
By the early Nineties, the UK had the highest divorce rate in the European Union. The word "family" has taken on a new connotation. It does not necessarily imply a blood link; instead, the family network has become a living reminder of past relationships and love affairs.
Permanence and good example, let alone religion, have played little part in their lives. It is no exaggeration to call these 25- to 35-year- olds spiritually lost and dislocated. Those too sceptical or too intelligent to join one of the cults that spring up like dragons' teeth are resolute atheists. Most are driven by work, ambition and money. They have pleasures and desires, hobbies and pastimes, but little by way of what someone older would recognise for spiritual ballast. They fight alone in a competitive world.

Secret hearing for ex-police chief in Bo Xilai scandal
Related topics
The ex-police chief at the centre of the Bo Xilai political scandal went on trial on Monday in a closed hearing involving state secrets, his lawyer said.
Wang Lijun's trial started unexpectedly a day earlier than the court in the central city of Chengdu had announced.
Defence lawyer Wang Yuncai said the hearing examined the charges of defection and abuse of power, and those charges, she said, involved state secrets.
Wang, 52, fled to the US consulate in Chengdu in February and divulged the murder of a British businessman, resulting in the removal of his boss, Bo Xilai, from the communist leadership, the conviction of Bo's wife for murder and friction amid Chinese leaders.
The hearing started at 8.30am and recessed in the afternoon, said the lawyer. "It was closed according to Chinese law because it involves state secrets," she said, declining to elaborate.
Putting Wang on trial is a next step for China's leadership in moving past the scandal and dealing with the stickiest issue: whether to expel Bo from the party and prosecute him. Proof that the scandal's fallout continues to dog Chinese leaders is that they have yet to announce a date for a party congress to install the new leadership, though it is expected in mid- to late October.
A career policeman of more than two decades, Wang made a name for himself as a gang-buster in a northeastern province, where he met Bo, then a fast-rising politician who, as the son of a revolutionary veteran, had a web of political contacts. The two rode to national fame together, launching a high-profile sweep against organised crime in Chongqing, an inland megacity where Bo had been named party chief.
At the height of his career, Wang arrested hundreds of gangsters and government officials, some of whom were sentenced and executed in a matter of months.
Most of the charges he faces carry up to 10-year prison terms though longer sentences may be given for extreme breaches.
In a report on his indictment two weeks ago, Xinhua news agency said that Wang knew Bo's wife, Gu Kailai, was suspected in the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood over a business dispute but that he "neglected his duty and bent the law for personal gain" to cover up for Gu.
At the trial last month after which Gu received a suspended death sentence, prosecutors said Gu conferred with Wang before murdering Heywood and reported back to him afterward, said a lawyer who attended the trial. The lawyer, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Wang recorded the conversations, which were used as evidence against Gu.
His excesses, including alleged torture of detainees, would likely have not gotten him into trouble had he not embarrassed the ruling elite by going to the US consulate with a fantastic tale of corruption and murder in high places.
It is still not clear why he made that trip, though he had recently been sidelined by Bo in a sign of strained relations between them: In January, Bo had him removing him as police chief and giving him a less powerful post as vice mayor in charge of sports.
In history "until relatively recently, he who lived by the sword often perished by the sword. Wang Lijun is facing an outcome along that line," said Steve Tsang, director of the China Policy Institute at the University of Nottingham in Britain. "He, being somebody who has a long record of not delivering justice while in a position requiring him to do so, to end up facing the same fate, I would call it 'poetic injustice'."
