The secret of a happy marriage? ... find a man 5 years older who hasn’t been hitched before
For many, a successful marriage can be put down to attraction, devotion, patience – and true love. But one group of statisticians begs to differ.

They have developed a distinctly unromantic formula to predict how compatible a couple are based on their ages, education and previous divorces.

The experts claim their theory can tell in advance that some couples are up to five times more likely to end up getting divorced than others.

According to the study, the couples with the best chance are those where a woman with a superior education marries a man who is five or more years older than herself.

Neither should be a divorcee.

By comparison, a marriage where a woman partners an equally poorly educated male divorcee who is five or more years her junior is up to five times more likely to fail.

The study is good news for David Cameron, 43, and wife Samantha, 38. Meanwhile, US President Barack Obama, 48, and wife Michelle, 45, may have only a three-year difference in age but have been married for 17 years.

But the study may not be welcomed by Michael Douglas, 65, and his 40-year-old wife Catherine Zeta-Jones – the research suggests a marriage is more likely to fail if only one partner has been previously divorced, and Douglas was married once before.

Academics including Dr Emmanuel Fragnière of the University of Bath studied interviews with 1,534 Swiss couples who were either married or in a serious relationship. Five years later they followed up 1,074 of the couples to see which had separated.

Using the data collected about their age, education, nationality and previous relationships, they found the factors that many of those who broke up had in common.

Psychologists then analysed the importance of each factor to build up profiles of an ideal marriage and a nightmare couple. With age, they found that if the wife is five or more years older than her husband, they are more than three times as likely to divorce than if they were the same age.

With education, couples in which neither partner has studied much are the most likely to break up. Those where both are well educated are half as likely to divorce.

脸部较宽的人更具侵略性?
研究人员日前称,具有攻击性的人很容易被认出,因为他们长着“一眼即可看出”的宽脸盘。

一项发表于《心理科学》期刊的研究发现,(当某人站在你面前时),只需迅速看一眼他的面部结构,可能就足以判断他的攻击性。

脸部的宽高比(WHR)是通过测量左右脸颊之间的距离和上嘴唇到眉中的距离得出的。

此前有研究表明,脸部宽高比值较大的男性比脸窄的男性更具侵略性。美国布鲁克大学的心理学家决定对此开展进一步研究。

研究人员让志愿者们浏览了不同男性的脸部照片。之前研究人员已对这些男性的攻击性行为进行了分析。

之后,志愿者们根据自己的感觉,对每个男性的进攻性按一分至七分进行评级。他们浏览每张照片的时间长则两秒,短则0.039秒。

研究结果表明,志愿者们对这些男性进攻性的估计与实际情况的相符度很高——即使他们只看了一眼照片。

而志愿者对男性进攻性的估计与脸部的宽高比也相符。脸部越宽,进攻性评级越高。

心理学家总结称,脸型的细微差别可能会影响个性判断,从而引导人们如何应付他人。

在儿童时期,男孩和女孩的脸部结构相似。但到了青春期,男性的脸部开始变得更宽。

此前研究表明,面部较宽的男性进攻性更强。有调查称,在曲棍球比赛中,脸部较宽的选手每场比赛被罚下的时间长于其他选手。

Has President Barack Obama lost weight?


He is a man with the weight of the world on his shoulders but President Barack Obama appears to be shedding pounds in other areas.

A photograph of Mr Obama emerging from a gym in Fort McNair, Washington showed him looking slimmer than usual.

The Drudge Report website, which published the picture, captioned it "Barack 'N Bones" and said "rigorous workouts and high-stress basketball games" were responsible for the president's apparent weight loss.

Mr Obama has been teased by political opponents in the past about his physique.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, the California governor, once joked that he had "scrawny arms" and that he would make Mr Obama "do some squats". By contrast, Michelle Obama's gym-toned arms have been widely admired.

The couple are vocal supporters of healthy living and Mr Obama goes regularly to the gym.

As he came out of the gym in Fort McNair, he was wearing a large jacket which may have contributed to his skinny look.

A Washington insider told the Drudge Report that the president was not chain-smoking - his one vice - but does occasionally skip meals because he is "working non-stop for the country". A week ago, Mr Obama talked about his physique as he hit back at critics in a speech in Miami.

He said: "Just 'cause I'm skinny doesn't mean I'm not tough. I don't rattle.

"I'm not going to shrink back, because now is the time for us to continue to push and follow through on those things that we know have to be done but haven't been done for decades."

Irish accent beats French as world's sexiest
The Irish accent has beaten its French counterpart as the world's sexiest, thanks to stars like Colin Farrell and James Nesbitt.

Men with an Emerald Isle brogue came top in a poll of 5,000 women worldwide, while the French accent only came fourth, just ahead of Australian.

Italian, the native language of stars such as jockey Frankie Dettori, was second.

In third place was the Scottish burr, made famous by actor Sean Connery.

English was sixth and Swedish was seventh, with Spanish, Welsh and American completing the top 10.

A spokesman for www.OnePoll.com, which carried out the international survey, blamed French president Nicolas Sarkozy for the French accent's fall from grace.

"The French accent is nowhere near as popular as it used to be," he said.

"You can probably blame Nicolas Sarkozy for that, he has single-handedly changed the perception of how the world sees French men.

"It is good news for the Irish that they have come top, they have been in and around the top five for years now.

"But high-profile stars such as Colin Farrell have helped bring the accent more to the fore."

The study also found three fifths of women admitted they had been seduced by someone purely because of their accent, while two fifths said they would much rather sleep with a man who had a nice accent, compared to a harsh one.

World's Sexiest Accents

1. Irish

2. Italian

3. Scottish

4. French

5. Australian

6. English

7. Swedish

8. Spanish

9. Welsh

10. American

'Metrotextuals' seal messages with a kiss
Men have become so openly affectionate with each other using mobile technology that they've taken to signing off text messages to male friends with a kiss (x), giving rise to a new generation dubbed "Metrotextuals".

New research from mobile phone firm T-Mobile reveals nearly a quarter of men (22 percent) regularly include a kiss on texts to their male mates, T-Mobile said in a statement.

"Metrotextuality" is most widespread among 18-24 year old males with three quarters (75 percent) regularly sealing texts with a kiss and 48 percent admitting that the practice has become commonplace among their group of friends.

Nearly a quarter of this age group (23 percent) even appreciate an 'x' in a text exchange from people that aren't close friends.

But it's not just younger men that have become Metrotextuals - one in 10 men over 55 often completes a text to another male with a kiss, according to the poll.

The research also revealed there's a certain etiquette within metrotextuality. A lower case 'x' is the preferred sign-off for most (52 percent) compared to 17 percent for a bolder upper case 'X', with one in three sharing the love in a big way with multiple lower case kisses (xxx).

Clinical psychologist, Ron Bracey, said that men have traditionally been reluctant to share their emotions with friends and tended to keep their feelings bottled up.

"However, the advent of mobile phones and social media means more communication is done non-verbally, and through this it seems men can more easily share their feelings with others - especially their male friends," Bracey said in the statement.

Confirmed Metrotextual Nick Kirkham, aged 25, who works in insurance, said he and his friends have been sending kisses to each other for years.

"In fact, apart from my boss or a work client, there's no one I wouldn't send a kiss on text to," he said.

Make-up sales have risen despite the recession as women aim to look their best without breaking the bank on clothes and shoes, new figures show.

While many women have cut back on other fashion and beauty treats amid the global economic crisis, sales of cosmetics have increased.

Research shows that cosmetics enjoyed the highest growth in the expanding British beauty market with a 7.4 per cent rise to £1,200 million between 2007 and 2008.

Face and body skincare were up 6.7 per cent to £1,000 million and women's perfume rose 4.6 per cent to £667 million over the same period, according to market research specialists Mintel.

Experts claim that the phenomenon, dubbed the Lipstick factor, is a repeat of that seen during the Great Depression of the 1930s when tougher competition for jobs made women eager to look their best.

Selfridges director Anne Pitcher said that women particularly favour bright red shades during periods of economic hardship because it brings them more confidence.

She told the Daily Mail: “Anecdotal evidence shows that lipsticks are up for the first time in years.

“Red is especially popular, as Scarlet Johansson and Monica Bellucci promote the classic Hollywood make-up look.”

Research also suggests that rather than saving money by choosing cheaper products, women are treating themselves to top quality brands.

George Wallace, chief executive of shopping consultants MHE Retail, said: “A 25 to 34-year-old woman in the UK is carrying £71 worth of make-up in her handbag and there is no sign of her giving this up in the downturn.

If ever the scene had been set, this was it.

A week in Paris. He is strikingly handsome with his classic Californian good looks and a smile that could melt butter, and I am probably at my physical peak, with wavy brown hair, bright blue eyes, and curves that could stop traffic.

Neither of us knew what to expect. After meeting on a humanitarian aid trip in Central America, there was clearly a connection between us that we had neither time nor opportunity to explore. The fact that he moved to Europe the day after our return left us to continue building our relationship online through email and chat.




So as I flew across the Atlantic to visit him during my vacation, the possibilities ran wildly through my head. Friends at home had inundated me with notions that Paris is the city of love, and we would be fools not to be swept away. Pessimism reared its head, too, taunting that I didn't really know this man, and for all I knew he was actually a monstrous human being I would be stranded with for a week.

However, from the time I stepped off of the metro and jumped into his arms until the moment we tearfully said goodbyes at the same station, all speculation was forgotten and the natural flow of "us" prevailed.

There were no impassioned kisses or nights of passion. But there were hours of conversation under the glow of the Eiffel Tower. Barrels of laughter over inside jokes that will never makes sense to anyone but us. Tears over the deepest secrets and pains of our hearts. Comfortable silences that can only happen in the peace of trust. Speculation over the future, our dreams and fears. Confession of our fears and failures. And reassurances that we see each other beyond the facade and to the truth.

And as I returned to anxious friends waiting to hear stories of scandalous Parisian rendezvous, there seemed to be some hint of disappointment. No excitement, no scandal, no drama. As though I had missed out on something.

Although our relationship did not progress or digress as I imagined or feared, I couldn't have written a more perfect story. No, I didn't walk away with a lover, but I now have a friend who is dear to my heart. Who I shared an amazing week with, who holds many of my precious memories, and who knows me and loves me. How could I hope for more?

One moment that resonates with me is of my last night in Paris.

Exhausted from a full week and dreading my departure the next morning, we collapsed onto the bed and looked at each other. His bright blue eyes softly pierced mine with a reassuring knowledge that he knew me, and I knew him, and this was good. As we lay there, I knew that this was right, and what was meant to grow between us had.

"Just friends" is not a disappointment. Sometimes it's exactly what you need.

2012 Prophecy, Prophecies, Predictions
University of Metaphysical Sciences has provided you with this page of resources so that you can get some information on 2012 and the coming challenges that humanity faces.

2012 is actually the birth of a new paradigm and the death of an old paradigm. It is actually a beautiful thing that is coming to pass. It is unfortunate that there are some humans serving the old paradigm ways that don't want this to be a gentle transition, but that is the way things are in the old paradigm. A few have control over the masses and how things are structured. That is going to change.

Ancient Predictions From All Cultures

From ancient times there have been predictions and prophecies about a date close to the 2000 year mark from the time of Christ. In the Christian religion it concerns the rapture and the return of Christ to the Earth, in Hopi and other Native American traditions there is a prediction that the Great Spirit will set things right again, the 2012 Mayan Calendar predicts the end of the world as we know it, and Nostradamus predicted that times of great upheaval will come in the future. That time is now. Many other cultures have this type of prediction and prophecy in their spiritual beliefs as well.

Even ancient Sumerian texts support that something drastic happens to the Earth every few thousand years. After all, something happened when Noah's flood came about and when Atlantis sunk under the ocean. It is possible that something cataclysmic can happen again. No one knows for sure, but there is a buildup of energy and evidence for such a thing to occur.

Humanity Wants Change, Therefore It Will Happen

Predictions, prophecy, and prophecies are not a sure thing. The future can always be changed up until the point that it happens and the future then becomes the past. No one really knows what is going to happen, although there is a lot of speculation. All we do know is that something is going to happen, if for no other reason but for the very fact that the mass consciousness is manifesting it. Humanity wants things to change. Because humanity wants change, that is what must happen. It is the law of the universe. What the mass consciousness wants, the mass consciousness gets.

Change is inevitable, and it is the only way humanity can go on with its evolution. The way things are done now are simply not sustainable and the population is growing ever faster. If the Earth is to be our home, then humanity has to learn how to take care of the Earth and cooperate with the Earth differently. The present relationship is unsustainable.

Only 1% of the human population is happy with how things are because they are the ones who are in power and have great wealth. The other 99% of the population is fed up and tired of living with lack of abundance, poverty, and lack of opportunities. You might think you have a tough life, but think about the larger part of the population who live in a state of fear for their lives, the well-being of their children, and are on the verge of starvation or annihilation for other reasons. There are refugees all over the world living in a glorified camping situation. Not everyone lives in a good situation. If you have hot showers, clean water, clean food and safety from famine, wars or climate challenges, you are privileged and lucky compared to the largest part of the population who don't have any such conveniences.

This is not a world of freedom, even though it has moved more into that direction in some ways than before. For instance, communication is far freer than it ever has been. In other ways freedoms have been taken away, first and foremost through the economic systems. These days, everyone has to work very hard to keep a roof over their heads and keep their children fed, let alone having extra money for actually enjoying life. Very few people have the abundance that it takes to truly enjoy life. They get by, but in a world of abundance getting by simply isn't good enough. Humans were meant to have far more enjoyment than they do.

Also think about all the citizens of the world who are oppressed spiritually, emotionally and mentally. Freedom of religion is not something that is available everywhere. There are still many places that even if on the surface you technically have freedom of religion, you don't really. There is a lot of pressure from the culture and society to adhere to the religion that is the norm in various countries. In some countries, it is still a crime to entertain thoughts about a different religion than the norm, punishable by imprisonment or death even today. Humans are not as free as they would like to think they are, and that has to change now.

No Prediction or Prophecy Is Unchangeable, The Future Can Be Changed

The way predictions and prophecies work is that they take a snapshot of where the world is headed (or where an individual is headed if you are looking at the smaller picture) at that particular point in time. However, different decisions and actions are happening that can change the future. That is why predictions and prophecy are not necessarily written in stone. Sometimes the outcome is different because a different choice is made. Then the prediction or prophecy is obsolete. A new prediction or prophecy then must be sought, and even then that prediction can become obsolete again if the parties involved make different choices.

Individual futures are easier to change than a mass consciousness future, though. An individual's future only depends on the decisions that particular individual makes, and perhaps a few people around him or her. However, a mass consciousness future like the one facing humanity right now takes a far greater change than just a few individuals taking different actions and making different decisions.

It takes a very large amount of individuals within the mass consciousness to make the future change. If many individuals are taking different actions and making different decisions, it changes the future of a mass event. That is why it is so important now that each human takes a serious look at what he or she is contributing to the mass consciousness and making sure the he or she is supporting what he or she wants to see in the future.

Fear creates a rough ride through the changes coming in the near future. Fearlessness creates a gentle ride through the changes coming in the near future. Each individual must choose consciously what he or she wants to support. If more of the mass consciousness can support a gentle transition than a rough one, then the paradigm shift around 2012 is not going to be so dramatic.

Take all predictions, prophecy and prophecies with a grain of salt. Nothing is written in stone. Yes, some predictions and prophecies may be true, some maybe have already come to pass, and some may be right on track. However, be careful when listening to people making predictions and prophecy about this or that. Don't believe everything you hear about the future.

All that you can truly be sure of is that you have a part to play in this unfolding change because you are part of the mass consciousness of humanity. If more people are in the state of love instead of the state of fear, the transition into a new version of human reality on the Earth will be gentler. You can make the choice right now to be fearless, even as you face many things that might contradict that choice. You will make a difference in how the predictions and prophecies about the future play out.
Prediction谁都可以作,可以有实际的理由也可以是胡猜。
Prophecy 是由上天神佛给予先知,再由先知转述世人的。来源“神圣”而且不会是明天温度多高这种小事。

Marriage is worth £18,000 to men, but just £9,000 to women, according to an Australian economist who claims he has discovered a formula to determine the cost of happiness.

Paul Frijters, a professor at Queensland University of Technology, has calculated a formula he claims delivers the monetary equivalent of the value of various milestones in life.

The figures represent a lump sum a person would need to receive out of the blue in order to make him or her as happy as marriage would over a lifetime.

When it comes to divorce, a man would be so devastated it would feel as if he had lost £61,500. A woman would be far less traumatised, feeling as though she had only lost £5,000.

Prof Frijters, who was this year named the best economist aged under 40, has tracked major life events of 10,000 people since 2001.

He said: "These are real people to whom unexpected things happen.

"They were not selected because these things would happen and because of that, we can accurately compare their happiness before and after."

Australians were asked to describe how satisfied they were with their lives on a scale of 0 to 10.

The most common number given was eight - but the answer changed after, and sometimes in anticipation of, major life events and also sudden changes in income.

That enabled Prof Frijters to put cash values on the effects of happiness of major events such as marriage, divorce and illnesses.

He said: "Losing a loved one has a much bigger effect than gaining a loved one. There's a real asymmetry between life and death.

"This shouldn't surprise us. Human beings seem primed to notice losses more than gains."

The death of a partner or child caused a woman £73,000 loss, while to a man, a similar loss was worth more than £350,000, according to the calculations.

Prof Frijters said: "This isn't the value of the life that's lost, that would be much higher of course.

"This is just the effect on the happiness of one person flowing from a death."

Asked why his calculations show men much more affected by life's events than women, the professor could not give a reason, but said: "We know for instance that marriage improves the lives of men much more than women."

Professor Frijters concluded that money had a greater effect on happiness than previously thought.

TABLE

Marriage woman - £8, 726.25 man - £17, 675.68

Birth of child woman - £ 4, 866.77 man - £18, 236.39

Divorce woman - £4, 977.08 (loss) man - £61, 116.46 (loss)

Death of a loved one woman - £73, 204.86 (loss) man - £350, 830.36 (loss)

Illness woman - £28, 124.61(loss) man - £201, 264.68 (loss)

Moving house woman - £1, 453.80 (gain) man - £8, 947.11 (loss)

Barack Obama talks of greying hair during first year as president

Barack Obama has conceded that he has lost a bit of weight and got somewhat greyer during his first year as US president, but said he remains healthy despite the relentless demands of his job.

"This has been an extraordinary year, less for me than for the American people: two wars, worst financial crisis since the Great Depression," Mr Obama told NBC television.

"I would be lying if I said that, you know, those aren't some weighty questions that I carry around on my shoulders every day," he said.

The tall US leader said that his recent apparent weight loss is in line with what has always been.

"My weight fluctuates by 30 pounds – it has for years," he said in a one of several interviews given shortly before departing for Seoul, the last leg of his weeklong Asia trip.

"I'm still wearing some of the same stuff I did when I got married 17 years ago," he said.

"My hair's gotten a lot greyer, there's no doubt about that, but I'm not sure that's (not) just because I was about the age where my hair was going to start getting grey."

Despite the challenges of this first year in the White House, "I think we've dealt with them well, and I'm confident that a lot of the work that we've done is going to be paying off," Mr Obama said.
