First and for most, you are the only
person in most cases she has here in America. She is going
to be totally relying on you to help her with many different
things. Driving lessons, Schooling, Paperwork for Social
Security, working, sometimes English, paperwork for green
card and the cultural differences.
Second, This is going to be somewhat
like any other relationship you have had. But let me qualify
that, the lady believes that the man is the head of the
household. But she is going to want to discuss things and be
apart of the decision process, but she understands that you
will make the ultimate decision.
Third, Find Russian/Ukrainian people
in your area. Through out the US there are several Russian
stores, churches and community centers. A good website to
start on is www.rususa.com
Last. Keep a calling card with and two
or so hours a week for her to talk to home. It is important
that she have alot of contact with home. This will make
thing for her easier to know things are ok at home.

Thanks for helping!
I've already written a 5-star review of my favorite restaurant in Canmore, but I really must write about the most delicious fish dish ever - the cod with chorizo cream sauce. Go! Just for this! Bowl-licker🙄
Quaint, good service and delish food! So glad we tried this out. True gem in Canmore! Try the bruschetta and the ribs were so so good!
Would recommend for couples or a fancy night out! Really nice..went for valentine's day as a treat, they had a prix fix menu option which was really nice!
We used trip advisor to find a good restaurant. This restaurant was rated the #1. And after our visit I rate it #1. We had the Bruschetta, and Charcuterie Plate. Both very good but the Bruschetta was the very best. We also had the Duck breast and the Fish. Both were wonderful and would highly recommend either of them. Portions...
Great food and presentation, friendly service, and a comfortable atmosphere. Best fine dining in Canmore.
Had a lovely evening here to celebrate our anniversary. The atmosphere was cozy and warm and the service excellent. Thank you Victoria!
An excellent choice for a nice night out. A bit on the expensive side but a very quality menu. We had a lovely brochettes with a wonderfully tender medium rare steak. Their wine selection is also quite nice. I would definitely suggest reservations...they have limited seating. Definitely in a class of their own in Canmore!
An amazing dining experience. Our server was friendly and very knowledgeable, both in food and wine recommendations. Our meal was absolutely delicious, one of the best restaurants we've eaten at. Should be ranked #1 in Canmore. Will definitely eat here again!
I love this restaurant. I have eaten here exactly twice and both times have blown away other dining experiences. Reserve in advance, this is the reason I've only been in twice is because they're always full and I always forget to reserve in advance. This year on new year's eve no less they had a cancellation! Was magnificent. We tried...
We both went straight to the main, pork ribs as I always like to leave room for pudding! These ribs beat me, they were cooked to perfection and very tasty. We were very lucky to be able to walk in (table for 2). I would recommend booking and not risking it. The service was very good.

Medical Education (Intercalated)
B9MD BSc (Hons) 1 years
Medical education is an essential speciality. It focuses on how we can help students become good doctors, and how we can help those doctors to continue to improve. Like medicine, it comprises core knowledge, skills and attitudes, and its own aspects of professionalism in practice. This BSc aims to give you a firm grounding in the principles and practice of medical education, preparing you not only to be a good teacher, but also to become involved with designing and running courses, assessments and quality assurance programmes, and, of course, ongoing educational research.
You will leave this course with a firm understanding of educational theory and its application. Your understanding of this theory (how memory works, how groups learn, what factors affect success, how professionalism develops, how knowledge and skills can be fairly and accurately assessed, how quality can be assured, and so on) will allow you to make firm, evidence-based decisions in your own learning and teaching, and the advice that you give to others.
The course will also help you by:
- Developing your teaching skills
- Giving you a breadth and depth of approaches
- Developing an awareness of when to use which approach
- Allow you to critically evaluate your teaching and the teaching of others
- Continuing to develop and improve as a teacher.

Students studying in the intercalated BSc programme will complete five 15 credit modules and a 45 credit research project for a total of 120 credits at Level 7 as per the recommendations of the Framework for Higher Education Quality (FHEQ) released by the Quality Assurance Agency.
In the first semester students will complete three taught courses, Fundamentals of Education, Theories Behind Teaching and Learning and Introduction to Medical Education Research. Students will also begin developing their teaching skills.
During the second semester students will have an opportunity to consolidate their teaching skills in the Teaching Methods, Teaching Skills module, as well as the taught module on Assessment, Evaluation Quality and Curriculum. The third semester is taken up by completing the research project.
Entry requirements
The programme will be open to post third/fourth year MBBS, BDS or BVetMed students who have passed all years to date on the MBBS, GEP and the BDS (or equivalent undergraduate award in UK/EU) countries. It is not open to those who have previously undertaken an intercalated a degree. Normally, no referrals in any of the clinical firm grades where these have been undertaken. Students must have passed their current year in order to take up an offer of a place on an intercalated programme.
Students will submit an application and be interviewed, and will be selected on the basis on academic ranking and interview, in line with the procedure for all SMD intercalated degrees.
Learning and teaching
Much of the course is taught by Problem based Learning. Lectures, seminars and tutorials are delivered by staff in the Centre for Medical Education and expert colleagues from other departments and medical schools. The Teaching Methods Teaching Skills module depends on practical development of teaching skills through practise and experience.
In the Research Project students will conduct original research supervised by Centre staff and other colleagues with an interest in developing medical education research. Students are encouraged to submit their research to national and international medical education conferences.

Graduate Employment
Latha BonthalaMedicine
Why did you choose to study at Queen Mary?
"I chose to study at Barts and The London because I had heard very positive comments about the quality of the teaching and the down to earth atmosphere and attitudes of both staff and students. When compared to other medical schools in London, Barts seemed like the best place to be!
How did you find your academic and social experience at QMUL?
"The Medicine in Society placements mean you are placed in the community right from the start, which is both enjoyable and incredibly beneficial. Also, the regular in-course assessments were very useful in consolidating all the information learnt during the year, particularly in the run-up to the end of year examinations.
"One thing there is no shortage of in east London is a social life! There is always something to do, and always people ready to celebrate successes in the recently renovated Griffin Students' Union building. The leisure and recreational facilities are great at Queen Mary's Mile End campus. There is a good choice of places to unwind whichever way you want to, for example exercising in the Qmotion gym or relaxing with friends by the canal."

This is a variation of a quilt I saw in Summer 2010 Quick Quilts magazine. The concept can be adapted to any size your creative
brain chooses. I am starting with 4" strips, about 42 " long, prewashed, starched, pressed.
Sew the strips together however you want them
Stitch the bottom to the top to make a tube
Slice the tube into 4" strps/loops.
Several members has asked how I made the family history quilts that I have listed. Here are my notes on the project, I hope they will be useful to anyone that can use them.

Supplies: Family Tree Panel (ordered on line from HancockÂs Fabrics or Chester County Quilting (http://store.chestercountyquilting.c...ree-panel.html) for around $7.00 per panel. The name of the panel is ÂOur Family Tree quilt panel.

In the 1980s, both my Quilt Guild and my Wearable Arts group made quilts as a Community Service project for two different nursing homes. These are very simple to make since there is no need to match points. I spent nearly one hour trying to locate this pattern and think you will enjoy this one. It is a good size for those in wheelchairs. Sorry I don't have a picture, but I think you will understand the directions.

Starbright Sunlight, Pensacola Beach, Santa Rosa Island
This shot was taken at the beach just as the sun was going down and my husband was telling me the picture wouldn't take because I was shooting it into the sun, but I love this shot. The sun actually looks like a huge bright star, and the water turned deep blue and silver. I love to experiment with my Canon Rebel Xt to see the effect I get when shooting at different angles and into the sun. I also like the silhouettes this created with the summers and the pier.

Long memory and Periodicity in Intraday Volatility
Intraday return volatilities are characterized by the contemporaneous presence of periodicity and long memory. This paper proposes two new parameterizations of the intraday volatility: the Fractionally Integrated Periodic EGARCH and the Seasonal Fractional Integrated Periodic EGARCH, which provide the required flexibility to account for both features. The periodic kurtosis and periodic autocorrelations of power transformations of the absolute returns are computed for both models. The empirical application shows that volatility of the hourly Emini S&P 500 futures returns are characterized by a periodic leverage effect coupled with a statistically significant long-range dependence. An out-of-sample forecasting comparison with alternative models shows that a constrained version of the FI-PEGARCH provides superior forecasts. A simulation experiment is carried out to investigate the effects that sample frequency has on the fractional differencing parameter estimate.

#204 Nov 30, 2012
Hey kid, nobody has posted about this since the 17th. Apparently, you want it brought back up.
#205 Nov 30, 2012
Alright kid, since you wanted to open this can of whoop ass back up, exactly what business did you have being out with the people you were out with at that time of the night with them being drunk? Shouldn't you have been home in bed instead of out joy riding with a bunch of drunken fools? But please, if there is a real story besides the one that ran in the newspaper and everything Tabitha has said on here. Please refer to her post #41 if you need your memory refreshed.

#207 Nov 30, 2012
I think he's the one that brought it up, the others were just bitching back and forth at each other. Maybe a good lesson is don't bring old crap up and it won't get talked about? Yes, we all make mistakes but then most of our mistakes aren't quite of that caliber. However, I will say there was a lot of parental failure that particular night.

#208 Nov 30, 2012
You sound like a sanctimonious ahole. Hope you have teenagers someday. Karmas a bitch.
#209 Nov 30, 2012
I'm sure if he or she has/will have teenagers, they will not make dumbass mistakes like this loser did. Not only did he ruin his life, but he ended another's.
#210 Dec 1, 2012
For what, pointing out the obvious? Doesn't take a genius to know not to let barely teenagers go riding around at all hours of the night with older drunk teens and a drunk grown man. How hard of a concept is that to understand. Besides, I've done raised my kids and I didn't allow them to pull those kinds of stunts. Maybe you should be more involved in your kids lives to know what they are and aren't doing.
On another thought, are you a devotee of Indian religion? You would have to be Buddhist, Jain, Sikh, or Hindu to believe in the concept of karma.

Warning North Korea from its doorstep, President Barack Obama said Pyongyang risks deepening its isolation in the international community if it proceeds with a planned long-range rocket launch.
"North Korea will achieve nothing by threats or provocations," Obama said during a news conference Sunday in Seoul, South Korea, where he is attending a nuclear security summit.
Obama spoke following a private meeting with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak. Both leaders warned there would be consequences if North Korea proceeds with next month's launch, with Obama saying the move would jeopardize a deal for the US to resume stalled food at to the North.
"Bad behavior will not be rewarded," Obama said.
North Korea plans to launch a satellite using a long-range rocket next month, which the US and other powers say would violate a U.N. ban on nuclear and missile activity because the same technology could be used for long-range missiles.
The US considers the rocket launch practice for a ballistic missile test and a violation of North Korea's international responsibilities. The planned launch is yet another setback for the United States in years of on-again, off-again attempts to launch real negotiations. The announcement also played into Republican criticism that Obama had been too quick to jump at a new chance for talks with the North Koreans.

2014 Nissan 370Z NISMO (344hp) - 0-251 km/h acceleration (1080p)
Super FAST Autobahn acceleration test with the 2014 Nissan 370Z Nismo powered by a refined 3.7 V6 delivering 344 hp and 371 Nm of torque through a 6-speed manual transmission. You can say what you wan't about the Nissan's quality or sheer performance but this car delivers serious sports car flair on pair with the German rivals Audi TTRS and Porsche Cayman S. For half of the price of the Porsche and at least 25k EUR less than for the Audi you are probably causing more turning heads on the road than with the rather "mainstream" competitors. Also the grunt and linear power delivery of that 3.7 V6 is very unique, raw and for real men that want to work the machine. Conclusion: If you want a sports car for your daily life, go take one of the Germans, if you want to have the meanest machine in your neighborhood and want to see high power diesel drivers scratching their heads after getting smashed on the Autobahn, then go ahead and take a look at the NISMO:-) I am looking forward to your COMMENTS / LIKES & SUBSCRIPTIONS!

The Perfect Gift
How to Improve the Security of Your Web Based POS SystemMany business owners have internet-based point of sale systems that allow them to process online and offline transactions. However, such systems may be vulnerable to cyber attacks by people who want to access clients' financial records or make fraudulent transactions over the internet. This article discusses some security measures that you can take to protect your POS system from cyber attacks: Implement a Password Policy Configure your point of sale software in such a way that each employee has his or her own password that he or she can use to access the system. The vendor of your equipment and software can provide guidance and training on how to do this. Such a policy will make it easy to track down which employee was responsible for a security breach since cyber security technicians can identify which password was used to access the system. Limit Service Personnel's Access Service personnel may be people outside your business and you can't be sure that they may not grant access to your POS to third parties. To cut down this possibility, you can set up temporary point of sale system accounts that have a time limit so that once that duration elapses then they cannot access the system. For instance, your system administrator can create a system that will be active for just a few hours during which maintenance is going on. Use VPNs for Remote Access A virtual private network (VPN) can be very helpful in preventing hackers from spying into and accessing any information you may be transmitting or receiving when you use a public network connection to log into your... read more
Tips and Advice for Selling Jewellery to Gold BuyersIf you have never done business with gold buyers, you may need a few tips and tricks to navigate the process. Though it may seem cut and dry, there are a few things that can confuse newcomers to the transaction. If you have the gold jewellery ready, then take these tips and advice into account to make the transaction as easy as possible. Know Your Rights It may seem odd to talk about your rights as a seller when you are dealing with gold buyers. You will find though, that certain transactions may require you to know your rights in order for the transaction to go as smoothly as possible. For example, if you have several pieces of jewellery that have stones, you have the right to ask for those prior to the end of the transaction. The gold buyer will not use them or buy them, in most cases, so know that you do have the right to ask for the stones. If they deny you the stones, end the transaction and find another gold buyer. Know Your Terminology You may already know what 24kt, 10kt, and 12kt mean, but you should also know the specific terminology that is used during a gold buying session. For example, an acid test is something that some gold buyers may use to find the purity of your gold pieces. A troy ounce is another term you may hear that refers to the traditional measurement for gold. Your buyer may refer to this alongside of the grams per weight or karat grams per weight reference. Research the Market Price It may help... read more
What To Look For When Considering A Gun SafeIn Australia, it is a legal requirement that firearms must be safely locked away in safes or steel cabinets. While sturdy wooden safes can sometimes be considered for weapons that fall into category A or B, gun owners must usually conform to stringent storage requirements to enable them to own weapons for sport or safety. What types of gun safe should be considered in your particular case? Take Time To Plan It's worth taking a bit of time to determine what type of gun safe you want, where you are going to locate it and how you are going to plan for the safekeeping of your weapons. Remember that you may require access to a gun rather quickly in the event of a home invasion of some kind, so it makes sense to plan carefully at the outset. Multiple Locking Mechanisms Consider a good gun safe with multiple different locking mechanisms. The latest developments include the use of digital locking devices and biometric mechanisms to ensure that only you or designated members of your family have access to the interior of the safe. Biometric functionality could be especially beneficial in an urgent situation when you may not have ready access to keys. If you do not choose the biometric option and want to eliminate keys from the equation, then consider selecting a combination lock or a digital code pad. Water And Fire Proof It's worth investing in a gun safe that is both waterproof and fireproof. This means that you can store your firearms, ammunition and other valuables within. It is recommended that the fireproof rating should be for... read more
Great end of year gift ideas for teachers and day care workersIt can be difficult to work out the best gift to get your child's teacher or daycare carers, to show them how much your appreciate the care and support they have given your child in the last year. A lot of the time your child gets support from multiple carers and teachers over the week, making harder to find a great gift for all the people you need to buy for! Here are some ideas at a range of price points to give you some inspiration. $ – not much cash to spare A handmade gift from your child can be a lovely way to show the affection they have for your child.

Teachers love seeing the effect they have had on their students. Cheap mugs can also be easily monogrammed with your teachers initial and filled with homemade fudge, biscuits or a gift certificate for a small amount from a local coffee shop. Teachers and carers often have mismatched mugs in the break room and you can rest assured that your gift will get regularly used and admired by the other staff. $$ – enough to go around A fruit basket delivery with companies such as Boydita Flowers Delivered, is a thoughtful gift for teachers and daycare carers who often find themselves grabbing quick unhealthy snack from vending machine in between their work with your children. This can be a great gift for the staff to share in the break room,... read more

The latest addition to Reaktion's animal series – surely one of the most successful publishing ventures of recent years – reveals the donkey, "generally considered beneath notice", to be a creature of the utmost fascination.
Capable of carrying two-thirds its own body weight, it was the first pack animal to be domesticated. Upwards of 40 million still serve humanity. Only the camel has a lower water requirement and better control of temperature.
Ironically, this placid animal proved invaluable in warfare and is still serving in Afghanistan. However, Bough goes too far in asserting "semantic associations between the animal and human buttocks".
The American "ass" from "arse" is merely a homonym of "ass" meaning undomesticated donkey.

We've traced her journey through the last 52 years, from her early years when women were achieving so many milestones up until present day, as politicians and opponents of women's health try to make it more difficult for women to obtain birth control.

The body is absurd. The sounds, smells, textures, impulses, tics, blemishes, engorgements, excretions of our organs—these make up the outrageous conditions of our animal existence, from infancy to old age. We suffer the daily indignities, surprises, and wonders of the flesh because we are stuck with this imperfect vessel. No wonder we make so many dick jokes.
In Why is the Penis Shaped Like That? And Other Reflections On Being Human, research psychologist and science writer Jesse Bering aims to understand the function of human attributes through the lens of evolutionary psychology. In considering sexuality and its physical, emotional, and social aspects, he distinguishes between adaptive traits that benefit survival (like masturbation, which keeps sperm fresh and fit for fertilization) and neutral traits (like female ejaculation, which has no discernable reproductive purpose) that may have resulted accidentally, as "by-products" of other adaptations.
In playful, conversational essays adapted from columns originally written for Scientific American and Slate, Bering uses a strategy of "reverse engineering" to hypothesize why things evolved the way they did. His investigations depend on speculative inference and rarely land on definitive conclusions, but are still convincingly argued. It's impossible to know, for example, why exactly the penis is shaped like a pickle with a pageboy haircut, but Bering cites experiments that demonstrate how the ridge around the penis's head removes semen if some is already present, decreasing the chances of fertilization by a sexual rival. To supplement that physical evidence, Bering discusses behavioral studies that show couples tend to have sex more if they've been recently separated, possibly because there is an "anti-infidelity" function to our urge to copulate. All this suggests that the genetic advantage accorded males with a greater variation in width between head and shaft resulted in the evolution of the form we know today.
Be warned that the picturing of ancestral gangbangs is one of the more painless leaps of imagination that Why is the Penis Shaped Like That? demands. The book is a compendium of topics normally greeted with skittishness or repulsion. Premature ejaculation, autofellatio, the chemical properties of human semen, cannibalism, masturbation, female orgasm, suicidal thoughts, pedophilia, zoophilia, foot fetishism—nothing is taboo. Bering's goofy sense of humor makes these concepts easier to digest. The book is studded with puns and self-deprecating asides about Bering's own sex life, among them tales of his own attempts to self-fellate, musings about how simpler life would be if he could love dogs to the extent that he could "dispense with all those emotional encumbrances that come with being attracted to" another human and settle down with "a sassy little bitch," and the confession that as a gay man, the female orgasm seems "exotic and foreign . . . like decorative basket weaving in a small African village." The cover, which features wrinkly walnuts in uncomfortably close focus, perfectly illustrates Bering's irreverent tone. Indeed, part of the fun of reading the book is what happens when you whip it out in public: everyone from my brother to my mother to total strangers grabbed it out of my hands, all giggling like fifth graders in Sex Ed as they flipped through the pages.
Our laughter is very much the point: Bering's jokes about the things that make us most squeamish invite us to share his joyful curiosity about human sexuality, to see the world through his eyes. Our capacity for this kind of social cognition, which we call empathy, is in Bering's estimation our most powerful and defining trait. Since we can weigh our own needs and desires against the needs and desires of other beings, empathy acts as both a compliment and counterpoint to our psychobiological urges. Take, for example, the "problem" of premature ejaculation: though research suggests that the "quickie" is an advantage that evolved in order for human males to expel as much semen in as little time as possible, at some point, empathy—in this case, manifested in the desire to please a partner—entered the equation, and now one adaptation seems to modulate another.
Empathy also characterizes Bering's approach to uncomfortable topics such as sexual violence, pedophilia (the attraction to pre-pubescent children), hebephilia (the attraction to children on the cusp of puberty), asexuality, zoophilia, and sexual fetishes. Throughout the book, Bering argues persuasively for a more open-minded view of the infinite varieties of human sexuality, and calls for a more rigorous scientific understanding of all sexual impulses, regardless of our moral objections to them. That's not to say that he thinks child molesters should be excused by the fact of their attraction, or that it's ever okay to have sex with animals. "People don't have any say whatsoever about what their genitals respond to," he writes. "But people do have considerably more control over what exactly they do with these genitals."
In the final section, Bering appeals to our empathy by offering a "'what-it-feels-like' phenomenology of 'being' suicidal." Contextualizing suicide within the framework of evolutionary psychology, he suggests that humans, like bees or certain spiders, may be programmed to take ourselves out of the mix if we feel our existence is not a benefit to the species. "Even the darkest of human emotions may be adaptive if they motivate gene-enhancing behavioral decisions," he writes. Bering's idealistic hope is that by learning to recognize the conditions that "favor suicide"—such as increased alienation, self-condemnation, and a "narrow, unemotional focus on the present moment"— we will be better equipped to help friends and family showing these symptoms.
The concept of suicide as an "escape from the self" is a strange and sad counterpoint to the book's primary concern: the shaping of that very self. But perhaps Bering's strongest argument for the power of empathy is that though suicidal thinking should seem as aberrant as podofillia or zoophilia, it doesn't. Suffering is something we experience both together and alone. Like humor, it binds us to each other. Our capacity to understand the pain and pleasure of others defines who we are, both as individuals and as a species. As Bering describes it, the complex interplay between biology, psychology, and culture suggests that what makes us most human—empathy—is also what makes us the most complicated beast of all.

A couple of months ago, David Pilling reported in the FT on some consequences of China's one-child policy. Coincidentally, the U.S. CDC released figures on childbirths in the U.S. in 2011. Putting the two sets of information together yields some interesting inferences about the future of the two nations.
Chinese Women
Pilling reported that young Chinese women are not working in factories in nearly the same proportions as they did ten years ago. "Our generation doesn't work in factories," he reported a typical young woman saying. What could have created that change, I wondered. The answer is to be found elsewhere in the Pilling article: Because of many couples' preferences for male children, they have used abortion to create a ratio of 119 male births to 100 female births. As a consequence, females are much in demand as mates and they can, in large measure, choose to mate only with the most productive males and create the kinds of lives they would prefer. For many young Chinese women, this is a life centered on their families, not their jobs. They will have the one child permitted and will lavish their attention on their successful male mate and their one child, including the one child's education and future prospects. Tiger mothers do not exist only in America.
The consequences for China's future are not hard to guess. Although China has-and will continue to have-a shrinking population that will have to support a disproportionate aged population, China also will have a large educated workforce, and that workforce will be capable of competing globally in whatever economic climate eventuates over the next few decades. China's system of governance may not be the best in the world, but its young people are looking to the future with their children's education and prospects foremost on their agendas.
American Women
The CDC report, on the other hand, reports an America that not only is not having babies at replacement levels but, more alarmingly, whose women are having babies non-maritally in record proportions and whose men are falling behind educationally. The drop in the overall birth rate was small and was largely confined to Hispanic women, which might be seen simply as Hispanic Americans becoming more American. The percentage of out-of-wedlock births, however, continues to be astounding. Although teenage pregnancies continue to drop-probably a tribute to schools and others who work with teenage women-the overall proportion of out-of-wedlock births remains a stunning 40%, and of that 40%, the proportion for non-Hispanic white women continues to grow. The following two tables give us a snapshot of non-marital births in 2011.
Table 1
Percentage of Births to Unmarried Women
By Educational Attainment 2011
Less than High School Diploma
High School Diploma or Equivalent
Some College or Associates Degree
Bachelors Degree
Graduate Degree
Table 2
Percentage of Births to Unmarried Women
By Race/Ethnicity 2011
Source: American Community Survey Table S1301
Let us put those birth statistics together with the percentage of recent college graduates that are female: 58%. Looked at another way, as of 2010, among Americans age 25 to 34, 35% of women had college degrees, as opposed to only 27% of men, according to the American Community Survey 2006-2010. See here.
Those statistics together paint a picture that sociologists have been reporting on for some time: American women want to have children but they are not finding men they want to marry. The men are undereducated, under-cultured and under-attached. See, e.g., a fine book by Edin and Kefalas, Promises I can Keep (University of California Press 2005). As a consequence, the women are using the men to have children, then largely discarding them into a society of relatively rootless males. Although it began as a problem mainly among high school dropouts, it has now become a middle class phenomenon of substantial proportions. Here is an interesting graphic representation from the Marriage Project at the University of Virginia.
Non-Marital Births as a Percentage of All Births
This non-marital birth phenomenon contributes to the inability of the middle class to progress economically. Middle class family income (in constant dollars) has stagnated over the last 25 years (with some ups and some downs). See the data from the Census Bureau. Basically, the middle class has made little economic progress, despite significant advances for the top 10% of the population. Many factors are at work to make these statistics, but one that often is overlooked is the lack of two-parent family formation. The women who live without permanent mates and have to bring up their children cannot make as much money as two workers, even though they tend to work very hard and have little time for themselves. Here is recent data on the contrast between single mothers' income (including child support) and other categories of earners:
Table 3
Income of Families 2010 Based on census.gov Table F-10
Median Earnings
Mean Earnings
All Families
All Families w Children
Married Families w Children
Female Head w No Child
Female Head w Children
Male Head w No Child
Male Head w Children
In this society, single men have less incentive to succeed economically than their married counterparts. They remain in the hook-up, sports-and-video-game culture that they inhabited as late teenagers.
The impact of these factors on the children is enormous. According to numerous economic studies (See the review by Professors Acemolglu and Autor from MIT in June 2012), educational attainment is the largest determinant of income among Americans. See, for example, the following table from the Acemoglu and Autor review.
And as numerous other studies have shown, there is a strong link between family income and a child's educational attainment. Thus, although non-marital childbearing has become socially acceptable, non-marital child rearing puts the children at a significant disadvantage.
The Contrast
Let us contrast this hard-working single American mother with her Chinese counterpart described above. The American is always pressed for time. She has three jobs: The home, the children and earning a living. She spends as much time with her children as she can, but often she is tired and finds it easier to keep the children occupied rather than enriched. That is borne out by a number of the studies cited above. The Chinese woman has time to make the house proper for her husband and, especially with only one child, has time to enrich the child's education and make certain the child prepares properly for school.
The Chinese children are highly likely to become better educated, with a better understanding of the world than their American counterparts. That is going to make the Chinese children better competitors for the good jobs that the world will have to offer, most of which will be global jobs, not local jobs.
Successful Americans
At this point, if they are still reading, my liberal friends will attack me for my retrograde view of the role of women. I am, my friends may say, portraying the proper role of women as being in the home and bringing up children, not out in the world competing with men for the best jobs. But that attack will be wrongly placed. I am merely describing two phenomena and contrasting their likely results. If I were to focus on the top 10% of American families economically, the picture would look very different, including the roles of the women. In the top 10%, the couples are married, both partners graduated from college, both partners have or have had knowledge-type jobs (in about 75% of the families both partners are in the workforce), both partners are focused for the child-rearing years on the education and cultural enrichment of their children. Both partners share a view of the world in which their partnership is permanent and has as two of its goals mutual economic satisfaction and the success of their offspring. Their children likely will have an even better chance in the global marketplace than their Chinese counterparts. For a vivid description of the modern affluent family, see Charles Murray's provocative book, Coming Apart (2012). For more data on the subject, see the numerous studies on marriage that I have cited above. Mr. Murray is conservative. Many of the authors cited above are centrists or liberals.
The American kids who fall behind educationally are going to pay for it by being relegated to lower paying, more local jobs when they grow up. As a society, we have to figure out how to help the kids that are not getting the parenting and education that they need.
Notes for Investors
As an investor, these observations leave me puzzled. Do they mean that Chinese equities will perform better than American equities? Or Chinese bonds or currency will perform better? I do not reach those conclusions. The futures of listed companies depend on their businesses and their managements, not so much their nominal countries of origin. The people from wherever who are best positioned to compete will work for the most successful companies, whatever their countries of origin. But we should expect more vigorous new companies to come from places where education is best, so long as the governments do not place too much red tape in the way of entrepreneurial business formation. The best venture capital firms know that, and they are positioning themselves to be capable of investing in new companies wherever they are started. If you have an opportunity to invest with smart, globally-oriented venture capitalists, my suggestion is to do so.
I do not suggest investing in individual startups or small developing-country companies. Startup investing takes expertise and, often, hands-on management. Disclosure standards in developing countries are not sufficiently stringent for an American individual investor to do anything but roll the dice.
It is difficult to see what companies profit from single moms earning so little money. But it is not difficult to see what companies could benefit long-term from the perpetuation of the affluent class of Americans. One might look at Coach (NYSE:COH), LVMH, not traded on a U.S. exchange, and other luxury goods manufacturers. High-end kitchen suppliers and furniture manufacturers, companies that cater to the luxury and experience vacation markets, and manufacturers of exercise equipment for the home also should benefit from the family continuity of the affluent classes.

Nikon D3 In-depth Review

Compared to...
Studio scene comparison (JPEG)
This is our standard studio scene comparison shot taken from exactly the same tripod position. Lighting: daylight simulation, >98% CRI. Crops are 100%. Ambient temperature was approximately 22°C (~72°F).
Nikon D3 vs Canon EOS-1D Mark III
Since this review was first published we've been able to get an EOS-1D Mark III into the studio and have added some comparisons to various sections. The EOS-1D Mark III is perhaps the camera most likely to be seen as a competitor for the D3 by sports photographers (it too is built for speed).
The big difference is the sensor; where Nikon has taken the decision to produce a full frame sports camera the EOS-1D Mark III sticks to a 1.3x crop / APS-H. For telephoto shooters this gives the EOS the advantage of higher pixel density - cropping the D3's images to give the same field of view drops its usable resolution down to around 7.1MP (compared to Canon's 10MP). Of course what you gives with one hand you takes away with the other, and the D3 will give you considerably more latitude at the wide end of the focal length scale when shooting with the full 'FX' mode 12 megapixels.
Camera settings:
- Nikon D3: Nikkor 85 mm F1.8 lens, Aperture Priority, ISO 200 (default base)
JPEG Large/Fine, Manual WB, Default Parameters (Normal), Self-Timer
- Canon EOS-1D Mark III: Canon EF 50 mm F1.4 lens, Aperture Priority,
ISO 100, JPEG Large/Fine, Manual WB, Default Parameters (Standard PS), Self-Timer
Nikon D3
Canon EOS-1D Mark III
4.4 MB JPEG (4256 x 2382)
3.1MB JPEG (3,888 x 2,592)
Again Nikon's default sharpening is lower, producing an image that looks softer; the EOS-1D's JPEGs have marginally better per pixel sharpness and detail and the D3's two million pixel advantage is barely visible (you can see it if you look closely at the third crop down). Putting aside depth of field and other optical differences it's fair to say there's not a lot between these cameras at base ISO (especially if you increase the sharpening on the D3 to match the EOS-1D), and certainly there's nothing here that would produce a visible difference at normal enlargement sizes.

We've said it before, and we'll say it again - old people may smell like mothballs and regret, but they know how to drink right. Want to know why? Because you'd never catch your grandfather - and most likely grandmother, for that matter - drinking a Flirtini (or any -tini other than a martini). Our older generation knows the value of a drink that makes you grimace juuust a little bit - and chasing that drink down with a pickled egg.
That's why we're excited about Old Man Drinks: Recipes, Advice, and Barstool Wisdom. It's chock full of quotes and wisdom from semi-ancient barflies, and includes a multitude of cocktail recipes that need to start rubbing elbows with Cosmopolitans on drink lists.
Here you'll find histories and recipes for Old-Fashioneds, Sidecars, Clover Clubs, Rusty Nails, Hot Toddys, Monte Carlos, and more than 60 other vintage cocktails. Accompanying the text are evocative black-and-white photographs of real old men enjoying their beverages of choice and dispensing such timeless words of wisdom as "I'm gonna die some day, so I may as well drink" and "I've taken an involuntary vow of celibacy."
