Cambridge Tops Harvard Again in World's Best Universities Rankings

By Anita Narayan | U.S.News & World Report LP

Harvard University may be America's top-ranked national university, along with Princeton University, in U.S.News & World Report's latest Best Colleges rankings, but a competitor across the pond is now stealing some of that thunder.

For the second year in a row, the United Kingdom's University of Cambridge topped Harvard in the U.S. News World's Best Universities rankings, released today and based on data from the 2011 QS World University Rankings. Developed by QS Quacquarelli Symonds, a leading global career and education network, the World's Best rankings showcase the top international universities, from North and South America to Europe and Asia and beyond.

Six distinct indicators were evaluated to rank the top 400 universities worldwide: academic reputation, employer reputation, faculty-student ratio, proportion of international faculty, proportion of international students, and citations per faculty. The gap between Cambridge and Harvard was incredibly small--a difference of about 0.7 points in their overall scores--and can be attributed to Cambridge's more impressive faculty-student ratio.

Despite Harvard falling slightly behind a U.K. university, U.S. schools dominated the top 400 list, with six American institutions appearing in the top 10 (Harvard, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale University, University of Chicago, University of Pennsylvania, and Columbia University). The highest showing by a non-American or non-British university was Canada's McGill University, at No. 17. Asia's highest ranking came via University of Hong Kong (HKU), at No. 22.

A separate ranking of the top 100 Asian universities highlights the dynamism of the Asian region, where countries such as China, South Korea, and India are investing heavily in higher education to cater to both domestic and international students. This year, to better reflect the region's unique character, a distinct methodology from the top 400 global rankings was used, with indicators such as Asian academic reputation and Asian employer review.

The leaders of the pack came from Hong Kong, with Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) and HKU taking the first and second spots, respectively. The gap between the two was very narrow--a difference of 0.2 points in their overall scores--with HKUST's research productivity giving it the edge. Japan, whose economy is slowly recovering from the devastating March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, was nonetheless dominant in the Asian rankings, with five Japanese schools in the top 10.

Meanwhile, China, the world's largest source for international students at U.S. universities, made strides with its own schools. Peking University and Tsinghua University were both among the top 20 best Asian universities, performing very well in the academic and employer reputation indicators. India didn't fare as well, due to low citations scores; its highest entries were three Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT Kanpur, Delhi, and Bombay) at No. 36, No. 37, and No. 38, respectively.

Like Asia, Latin America is undergoing significant development, propelled by rising economic powerhouse Brazil. The country's Universidad de São Paulo took the No. 1 spot in the top 100 Latin American universities rankings, beating Chile's Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile by 0.4 points in its overall score. The new Latin rankings use a distinct methodology, evaluating indicators such as Latin American academic reputation, Latin American employer review, and proportion of staff with Ph.D.'s.

Brazil was the clear leader, fielding three institutions in the top 10 and eight in the top 20. The country's huge investments in higher education to fuel economic growth, and its prioritization of research, have paid off: Brazilian universities performed particularly well in measures such as papers per faculty and proportion of academics with Ph.D.'s.

Meanwhile, Mexico--with two institutions in the top 10 of the Latin rankings--showcased strong reputations across the region, despite lower performance in research measures for most of its universities. The fifth-ranked Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) had the highest academic reputation, while seventh-ranked Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM) had the second-highest employer reputation.

Going beyond global and regional comparisons, the new World's Best Universities subject rankingsexamine the top schools worldwide in 24 subjects (top 30 for chemical engineering and top 50 for all other subjects). Divided into five broad categories--arts and humanities; engineering and technology; life sciences; natural sciences; and social sciences--the individual subject rankings are based on academic reputation, employer reputation, and citations per paper.

MIT dominated all engineering and technology rankings, taking the top spot in the computer science; civil engineering; chemical engineering; electrical engineering; and mechanical, aeronautical, and manufacturing engineering fields. Other American institutions that had strong showings in that category include Stanford University, University of California--Berkeley, and California Institute of Technology (Caltech).

U.S. universities similarly led the pack in two other broad categories: life sciences and social sciences. In the former, Harvard took the lead in biological sciences and psychology; in the latter, while Harvard took the No. 1 spot atop the accounting and finance; economics and econometrics; politics and international studies; and sociology rankings, Stanford topped the statistics and operational research rankings.

Only the arts and humanities and natural sciences categories showed some variety at the top. Although Harvard once again took the top spots in the majority of the specific subject disciplines, the U.K.'s University of Oxford was ranked No. 1 for geography and area studies, and Cambridge dominated both the linguistics and physics and astronomy subject rankings.

A Brief Therapy Heals Trauma in Children

by Jane E. Brody

Every year millions of children from all walks of life become victims of, or witnesses to, abusive or violent events that can result in long-lasting symptoms of distress. The events can range from sexual and physical abuse to involvement in a natural disaster, fire or serious motor vehicle accident.

In many cases, the trauma is unknown to parents and caregivers or never dealt with effectively. The consequences can be devastating for the children and families involved and for society at large. These children are at much greater risk of developing behavioral problems, failing at school, abusing drugs or alcohol and becoming violent themselves.
Without treatment, post-traumatic stress reactions can persist into adulthood, causing eating disorders, personality and mood disorders, relationship difficulties, persistent anxiety, unexplained physical problems, and violent or abusive behaviors.
According to a report being released Tuesday by Safe Horizon, a victim assistance group that operates child advocacy centers in New York City, and the Childhood Violent Trauma Center at Yale University, children who are abused or neglected are 59 percent more likely than those who were not victimized to be arrested as juveniles, 28 percent more likely to be arrested as adults, and 30 percent more likely to commit a violent crime. They also face much higher rates of teenage pregnancy and are likelier to abuse or neglect their own children.
Silver Lining
But there’s good news here: The report describes a remarkably effective brief intervention developed at the trauma center that, according to Steven R. Marans, professor of psychiatry at Yale and director of the center, greatly diminishes symptoms in traumatized children and those who care for them.
With the staff at Safe Horizon, the Yale team adapted the program to meet the needs of children and families facing the potentially horrific scars of sexual and physical abuse. I spoke with the mothers of two such youngsters.
One, a stay-at-home mother in Staten Island, was shocked to learn that for three years her 12-year-old daughter had been molested by a priest who, she said, “was like a member of the family.” The priest had threatened the girl, saying her parents would never believe her.
The second mother, a financial executive from Brooklyn, said she was “devastated — my whole world collapsed” when her 10-year-old son revealed that he had been raped by an 11-year-old friend on a play date.
“I was distraught to learn my son had lost his innocence like that,” the woman told me. “His father and I had no idea how to address this.”
Both mothers wasted no time getting help. The Staten Island mother reported the abuse to the police, who referred her to a Safe Horizon center; the other took her son to the emergency room, where a nurse contacted the police, who in turn referred them to Safe Horizon.
In both cases, and scores of others like them, the children and their parents benefited enormously from just four to six structured sessions with trained clinicians. Unlike traditional counseling, which is often unstructured and prolonged and may not involve both child and caregiver, this program follows a proven pattern: first a session with the caregiver, then one with the child, then two sessions with them together. In each session a trained counselor fosters healing through reassurance and support and, with before-and-after tests, measures the effectiveness of the intervention. If necessary, the child or caregiver may be referred for further therapy.
The girl, who had become very distracted in school and repeatedly rejected physical contact with her own family members, is now doing much better in class and enjoys being hugged. Her recollections of the abuse have abated.
The Brooklyn boy and his family, though initially terrified, gained peace of mind and assurance that what happened was not their fault.
“If not for Safe Horizon, which was our calm in a hurricane, we would be really damaged by this event,” the boy’s mother said. “I didn’t want the incident to affect him later on. The therapist worked through things with my son, who now says it’s not a big deal.”
In 2010, Dr. Marans, Dr. Steven J. Berkowitz, now a child psychiatrist at the University of Pennsylvania, and Carla Smith Stover, an assistant professor in the Child Study Center at Yale School of Medicine, published the results of a controlled clinical trial of the new therapy program, called the Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention. The study, published in The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, involved 106 traumatized children ages 7 to 18 and their caregivers, who were randomly assigned to four sessions of the structured intervention or to conventional support for childhood trauma.
When evaluated three months later, those who received the intervention were much less likely to suffer from post-traumatic symptoms like sleep disturbances, intrusive thoughts, depression, anxiety, tantrums or feelings of helplessness or hopelessness.
Remarkable Results
The children completing the intervention were 65 percent less likely than those in the comparison group to have developed full-blown post-traumatic stress disorder and 73 percent less likely to experience partial or full post-traumatic stress disorder, researchers said.
As described in the study released on Tuesday, Safe Horizon’s experience among nearly 500 children who received the intervention “mirrored the results of the original trial at Yale,” said Rita Garza, spokeswoman for the organization.
Dr. Marans reported that children who participated experienced a 54 percent reduction in trauma symptoms, and their caregivers benefited almost as much.
“When children are alone with and don’t have words to describe their traumatic reactions, symptoms and symptomatic behaviors are their only means of expression,” he said. “And caregivers are often unable to understand the connection between the traumatic event and their children’s symptoms and behaviors. To heal, children need recognition and understanding from their caregivers.”
He added: “This intervention inspires hope and confidence. It can make an immediate and palpable difference in the daily lives of children who have suffered even the worst forms of abuse.”
Well over 90 percent of caregivers who participated in the intervention said they had learned new skills and would recommend the program, which could be a boon to child treatment centers throughout the country.
Nancy Arnow, in charge of child, adolescent and mental health treatment services at Safe Horizon, said: “We now have a standardized way to offer children and their families an evidence-based intervention that is both brief and remarkably effective. The number of children who need this kind of help is not decreasing. It’s increasing.”
Ms. Garza said: “Six centers elsewhere are now undergoing training, and we want the program to be replicated across the country. Children everywhere should be able to get this kind of help.”

7 suspected criminals who got themselves caught via Facebook

Sometimes oversharing on Facebook does more than just annoy your friends. It can even land you in jail

The "stupid criminal" story has long been a staple of local crime reporting, late-night talk shows, and comedy-news programs such as NPR's Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! And now, the magic of social networking is giving ne'er-do-wells a new venue to thwart themselves, often in front of large audiences. Call it "cops-and-robbers 2.0," says Winston Ross at The Daily Beast. Driven by "a self-destructive combination of ignorance, narcissism, and generation-specific disregard for their own privacy," Facebook-posting crooks are making life much easier for cops. Here, seven suspected crimes uncovered through Facebook:

1. Setting up deadly human traps along hiking trails
Two Utah men were arrested April 21 for setting crude, potentially deadly medieval-style booby traps along a popular hiking trail outside of Provo. A U.S. Forest Service ranger with military experience noticed and disarmed the tripwire-sprung traps, including a football-sized rock outfitted with sharp wooden spikes set to swing at someone's head. The police weretipped off that Benjamin Rutkowski, 19, and Kai Christensen, 21, were responsible after the two men chatted about their traps on Facebook. Once apprehended, they claimed they were targeting animals. Fat chance, said Sheriff Spencer Cannon. "There's no question these traps were set for humans and that these suspects knew their deadly potential."

2. Stealing gas from a cop carMichael Baker, 20, got a visit from the Jenkins, Ky., police on April 16, after a photo he posted on Facebook went viral in the town of 2,000. In the picture, Baker is siphoning gas from a Jenkins Police Department cruiserand flipping the bird while smiling. After getting booked for misdemeanor theft — he appears far less ebullient in his mugshot — Baker updated his 380 Facebook friends: "Lol i went too jail over Facebook."

3. Flaunting breasts, getting bustedThe FBI nabbed Higinio Ochoa of Galveston, Texas, on March 20 for allegedly hacking into four law enforcement websites. The trail that led the feds to Ochoa, 30, started with a racy calling-card photo of Ochoa's girlfriend, in which she is leaning toward the camera in a revealing swimsuit top with a taunting sign from "w0rmer & CabinCr3w." The embedded data showed the photo was taken with an iPhone at a house in Melbourne, Australia. After connecting Ochoa's name with the handle "w0rmer," the FBI read on Ochoa's Facebook page that he has a girlfriend in Australia, and matched the breast-centric photo with photos of the same woman (in more modest attire) on Ochoa's page. 

4. Taunting a theft victim from his stolen laptopIn January 2011, police in Washington, D.C., arrested Rodney Knight Jr, 19, for breaking into the home of Washington Post journalist Marc Fisher and stealing a coat, cash, and a laptop from Fisher's son. Knight then logged into the son's Facebook account and posted a photo of himselfwearing the pilfered coat and holding cash. "Full frontal photo," one police officer told Fisher. "That's pretty great." Another officer, Kyle Roe, described Knight as the stupidest criminal he'd ever encountered.

5. Dealing drugs, then Facebooking the getawayMichele Grasso vanished from the Sicilian resort town of Taormina in 2008 before police could arrest him for dealing drugs, and, though he was convicted in absentia in 2011, Italian authorities had no clue where Grasso was... until he started dropping hints on his Facebook page. First came photos of snow, then snaps of himself in front of a double-decker red bus, and finally the admission that he was in London, with plenty of touristy shots to prove it. Then, in January, he posted a photo of himself working at a pizzeria, including an outside shot with the restaurant's name. On Feb. 11, Grasso, 27, was arrested on an Interpol warrant and extradited to Rome. 

6. Escaping prison, tempting fateCraig Lynch escaped from prison in Suffolk, England, in September 2009 — near the end of a seven-year burglary sentence — then spent the next four months rubbing it in Scotland Yard's face. He posted clues to his location on Facebook and plenty of photos of himself flipping off the police, and in the process developed quite a following. By the time the cops caught him in January 2010, Lynch had more than 40,000 fans on his Facebook page.

7. Picking a fight with cops who called you a "creep"On Jan. 5, the Jefferson County, Ala., sheriff's office put a warrant out for Dustin McCombs, then shared a "Wanted" photo of the accused rapist on Facebook captioned "Creep of the Week." McCombs himself chimed in, starting a two-hour comment tirade: "And good thing I moved out of state." A few comments later, McCombs said he believes "it just may be considered defamation of character, you know the whole 'creep of the week' title." On Feb. 3, McCombs was arrested in Ohio, thanks largely to Facebook.

The Mullahs' Greatest Fear: Kim Kardashian

   

Pascal Le Segretain / Getty Images

Karim Sadjapour explains what most frightens Iran's mullahs, and no it is not an Israeli air strike. It's the insidious Western message of sexual emancipation. You'll want to read the whole lurid piece:

Many Iran watchers assert that to persuade Tehran not to pursue a nuclear weapon, Washington must reassure Khamenei that the United States merely seeks a change in Iranian behavior, not a change of the Iranian regime.

What they fail to consider is Khamenei's deep-seated conviction that U.S. designs to overthrow the Islamic Republic hinge not on military invasion but on cultural and political subversion intended to foment a "velvet" revolution from within. Consider this revealing address on Iranian state TV in 2005:

More than Iran's enemies need artillery, guns, and so forth, they need to spread cultural values that lead to moral corruption.… I recently read in the news that a senior official in an important American political center said: "Instead of bombs, send them miniskirts." He is right. If they arouse sexual desires in any given country, if they spread unrestrained mixing of men and women, and if they lead youth to behavior to which they are naturally inclined by instincts, there will no longer be any need for artillery and guns against that nation.

Khamenei's vast collection of writings and speeches makes clear that the weapons of mass destruction he fears most are cultural -- more Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga than bunker busters and aircraft carriers. In other words, Tehran is threatened not only by what America does, but by what America is: a depraved, postmodern colonial power bent on achieving global cultural hegemony. America's "strategic policy," Khamenei has said, "is seeking female promiscuity."

Khamenei's words capture the paradox and perversion of modern Iran. While dropping bombs on the Iranian regime could likely prolong its shelf-life, a regime that sees women's hair as an existential threat is already well past its sell-by date.

The sports stars whose bodies transformed

  

Carl Pettersson, after and before: Bigger really is better

Swedish golf star Carl Pettersson was one of the brightest young talents in the game a couple of years ago, but spent most of the last three years struggling for form.

He's got his mojo back now, though, with a victory in the famous Heritage Classic at the weekend at Harbour Town, one of the trickiest courses on the US Tour.

And in a move which will delight yo-yo dieters everywhere, he credited his victory to a new junk food diet that has seen him gain a pile of weight.

It turns out that when the portly Pettersson embarked upon a new diet and fitness regime a few years ago, his new body shape just simply didn't work for his golf swing.

"In '08 I had a good year. I won Greensboro that year. I was trying to figure out what I was going to do to get to the next level and fitness, and I really started working out and eating better, and I lost 30 pounds very quickly," he recalled, adding that the new physique "threw my timing off".

"That was during the off-season, and it really threw my golf game. In '09 I played terrible, I finished 150-something on the money list."

The solution? "Well, you drink 10 beers and eat a tub of ice cream before you go to bed," he chuckled after his win, and back to his old size.

Pettersson is not the first sports star to undergo an unusual body transformation to find success - though sometimes it works better than others. Here's our pick of the top 10 body shocks in sport:

- - - - - -

Nick Faldo: Musclebound

The English golf superstar had everything going for him in 1990: number one in the world, the Claret Jug for winning The Open sitting on his mantelpiece and the Green Jacket for winning the Masters in his wardrobe - not to mention a bank account loaded with money.

The only thing lacking was a bit of length off the tee, so he hit the gym at the end of the season and bulked up massively - not to mention incredibly quickly, discovering that his metabolism was ideal for building up his guns. "It was amazing how my body changed with such little work," he said. "I'm one of those people who, if I went into a gym, would be making Schwarzenegger movies."

The only problem? As his muscles came his previously glorious touch on the putting greens went, and Faldo's career went into a sharp decline. He slimmed down in the winter of 1991 back to his previous weight, and 1992 became one of the best years of his career.

Ronnie Lott: Fingers are for wimpsRonnie Lott: Finger amputation

The American football legend - a four-times Super Bowl winner - had the little finger on his left hand crushed in a tackle in the 1985 season. He needed a bone graft to fix the problem, but was told that he would not heal in order to play in the 1986 season. So he took the leftfield choice: Lott demanded that surgeons amputate the end of his finger to let him play on. The gamble paid off: he had one of the best seasons of his career, leading the league for interceptions and earning spots on the Pro Bowl and All-Pro teams at the end of the season.

Bradley Wiggins: Skinnier winner

The British cyclist was a gold medal-winning track cycling star at the Beijing Olympics, but it was success in the Tour de France that really drove him on. He decided that he was simply too bulky - as track cyclists tend to be - to compete in the Grand Tours, so shed a stone and a half to become a lean, mean pedalling machine. Wiggins has already had his reward: he finished fourth in the Tour de France in 2009 and third in the Vuelta a Espana last year and is expected to challenge in the sport's biggest events again this season.

Simona Halep: Boob job

Before: Male fans. After: Trophies.

The Romanian tennis star has rocketed up the rankings since going under the knife three years ago to reduce her 32DD assets to a more manageable 32C. Her legion of male fans were distraught - they actually started a petition to get her to change her mind when news of the impending surgery came out - but the star herself has no regrets. And not surprising, considering that she has gone from outside the world's top 200 to inside the top 50.

"My ability to react quickly was worse and my breasts made me uncomfortable," she explained. "It's the weight that troubles me. My ability to react quickly, my breasts made me uncomfortable when I play. I don't like them in my everyday life, either. I would have gone for surgery even if I hadn't been a sportswoman."

Andrew Flintoff: Weighty problem

Freddie Flintoff shows off his newly trim physique in 2002The all-rounder had broken into the England team in 1998 despite his massive 17-stone frame, with his size prompting his 'Freddie' nickname in tribute to Fred Flinstone.  He always seemed fine about it, even joking that his performance was "not bad for a fat lad" when he was named Man of the Match after an ODI against Zimbabwe.

But with the England hierarchy unhappy with his lack of fitness he was dropped in 2001. He promptly hit the gym, trimmed right down and regained his place within a year, celebrating another critical performance in a tight victory against India by pulling his shirt off and running around Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium.

Andy FordhamAndy Fordham: Another weighty problem

The former darts world champion and pub landlord from Kent shed an astonishing 17 stone in 2007 - a feat he managed mainly by cutting down from 40 bottles of beer a day to none. But while he has probably extended his life by several years (if not decades) his massive weight loss completely ruined his feel on the oche and he has never again shone at the top level.

Top 5 things that drive men crazy

        Men love women. They do. But that doesn’t mean women don’t drive them crazy. Even after oceans of ink have been spilled about how the two sexes can better understand and accept each other, women still find ways to annoy men — and vice versa. Here are the top five ways she’s making you crazy right now. Ladies, are you guilty of any of these irritating behaviors? 

1. Game-playing/manufacturing drama. There are lots of ways to create drama and excitement in a relationship, but men aren’t usually fans — unless said excitement involves clothing removal. “Asking too much too soon about his past relationships” is one way women drive men nuts and create drama, says Dr. Linda R. Young, Ph.D., a psychologist and relationship coach who blogs forPsychology Today. Making him late by taking too long to get ready is another. Getting irrationally jealous over platonic friends or running hot, then cold with no explanation are just a few more. 

Whether the drama is minor or significant, men would rather skip it. “I think these [behaviors] exist because men and women don’t have the skills to live beyond the ‘game-playing’ they learned as adolescents, which is perpetuated by the media,” explains Marni Battista, expert dating coach and founder of DatingWithDignity.com. “It takes an entire toolkit of advanced skills to create truly win-win situations in relationships. A person who doesn’t have these skills will always go to those old ‘default’ tendencies to fill the void.” And thus, drama is born.




Ask yourself: Have I recently thrown either an object or a tantrum? If the answer is “yes,” you might be a drama queen. Take it down a notch by talking to your partner about why you’re feeling so angry and exactly what you need to feel calmer in the relationship. If you’re the one dealing with a drama queen, tell her you’re happy to discuss problems like an adult but you’re not interested in entertaining a whole restaurant with her shenanigans. If she doesn’t calm down, tell her to audition for a reality show and leave you alone. 

2. Expecting the man to pay for everything. Most men don’t mind picking up the check early on in a courtship, but after a few dates, it’s nice for a woman to offer to contribute financially — especially if exclusivity has been established. Men like to be generous, but they don’t like to be taken for suckers, especially if the woman they’re seeing has a good job. As a corollary to this one, “Men are often put off by women trying to get a sense early on about what he does for a living and how much he earns,” says Dr. Seth Meyers, a Los Angeles-based psychologist and author of Dr. Seth’s Love Prescription. Men are people, too. If they feel they’re being sized up for more shallow, resume-type qualities, they’ll be annoyed. 

3. “Wanting to know ‘where the relationship is going’ before he’s ready to say, or before he knows himself,” is a big one, according to Dr. Young. Dating is supposed to be a chance to get to know another person. It’s not a guarantee of finding a certain kind of relationship, and women who treat it this way drive men nuts. It’s almost as if the woman is selling herself short — after all, you can’t help but ask why a lady would want some kind of commitment from someone she doesn’t really know yet. Why is her “audition process” so short? Likewise, “Men often get bothered with women asking or talking about their beliefs about marriage and children early in the dating process,” observes Meyers. It puts too much pressure on what should be the fun part of getting to know someone when the end goal is the only thing a woman wants to focus on. 

If the relationship isn’t likely to blossom into something steady and he’s upfront about that, a man wants the woman to hear what he’s saying and take him at face value. “Men are frustrated by women who don’t really believe them when they say, ‘I’m not in a place to have a relationship, but I really like hanging out with you,’” says Battista. “A man will give this ‘disclaimer’ and then be irritated when the woman finds she can’t change him, then begins to get angry that he hasn’t met her expectations.” If a woman wants to know how a man really feels and then gets hysterical after an honest response, it’s enough to — you guessed it — drive him crazy. 

4. Being controlling. “Correcting him on little details when he’s got the big picture right,” adds Dr. Young, is another thing that drives men bonkers. It’s often true that women are better at multitasking, but that doesn’t mean they have to run every detail of the show. A man will get frustrated if a woman asks him to do something then won’t give him a chance to do it his way. The real show-stopper is when she then claims she “has to do everything around here!” If this situation sounds familiar, how can you improve it? 

“If you want to put a stop to people’s annoying behavior, you first have to make them aware of it,” says Marc Muchnick, Ph.D., author of No More Regrets! 30 Ways to Greater Happiness and Meaning in Your Life. “Often, people don’t realize that what they are doing is bugging you, so when you tell them, it may come as a surprise.” So tell your significant other that she has to trust you if she doesn’t want to plan every meal, vacation and weekend you spend together, guys. Then do a good job with the task — in your own way, of course — and she just might back off. 

5. Not getting enough “guy time.” In ancient cultures, men often spent most of their time with other men while the women socialized with each other. That, as we all know, has changed. And it’s hard for some men to accept. They want their guy time, and it’s rough when women don’t respect that. As long as “guys’ night out” isn’t a code for regularly losing thousands of dollars gambling or paying for strippers, men deserve to have time with their male friends. Deciding exactly how much time is appropriate should be left up to each couple. Remind her that time spent away from each other means the time you do have together will be that much richer — especially with funny stories about the ridiculous thing your buddy Paulie did last weekend. The key is, be reasonable. If you want more guy time than gal time, maybe having a wife or a girlfriend isn’t in the cards for you.

     In the Siberian city of Krasnoyars, snail slime is the fountain of youth. At a spa in the Russian metropolis, African mollusks of varying sizes are placed on the face and body. Their excretions, rich in glycolic acid and elastin, are believed to reduce wrinkles, scars and signs of aging. Unfortunately, the procedure also increases the signs of snails on your face.

                           In China, fish have been doing the job of spa professionals for years. Recently, a Virginia salon took a cue from the country and installed foot baths swarming with dead-skin-chewing carp. A 30-minute fish pedi will run you $50. That's about a dollar per fish. 
                  Back in China, they don't stop at the feet. At Dr. Fish, a hot spring resort in the Chongqing Municipality, spa-goers soak their entire bodies in freshwater fish baths. Their exfoliating effects (gnawing off dead skin with abandon) leave patrons with what's been described as a "healthy glow."

                 Snake full body massage

This is either your worst fear or Lady Gaga's next VMA outfit. But a $90 relaxing spa treatment? It's hard to believe. At a spa in Israel, three different kinds of non-venomous snakes are unleashed on the face and back a customer. Their slithering, muscular movements are said to smooth out cramped muscles and stiff joints.

                              If you want to make it palatable, you can call it hirudotherapy. But what we're talking about are leeches on your face. The outdated medical procedure of applying blood-sucking slugs to the skin has made a comeback inbeauty spas in Russia. For up to $1000 you can improve blood flow and channel the anti-inflammatory properties of leech saliva. 

Five year-old girl becomes UK’s youngest victim of forced marriage

A girl of five has become the youngest victim of forced marriage, a shocking new report revealed.

She is one of 400 children in the UK to have been forced into marriage last year, the government’s Forced Marriage Unit (FMU) said.

Under-18s made up 29% of 1500 forced marriage cases that the FMU dealt with last year, with the majority between the ages of 15 and 17.

An 87-year-old woman was the oldest person to have sought advice from the FMU related to a possible forced marriage.

Of those assisted by the unit, which is dedicated to the prevention of forced marriage both overseas and in the UK, 78% were female and 22% male

The FMU report showed that the majority of cases involved families from South Asian countries, including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

A forced marriage is where one or both people do not consent to the union and pressure or abuse is used.

While it is not a criminal offence to force someone to enter a forced marriage in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, it is illegal in Scotland.

David Cameron said last year he wants to see forced marriage criminalised and a public consultation on the matter is due to be published later in the year.

A video created by the British High Commission in Islamabad has been created to raise awareness on the issue of forced marriages.

The animated video entitled ‘Sara’s Story’ tells the tale of a young woman from Pakistan who is fresh out of a British university with a bright future ahead of her. 

But when she returns to Pakistan she is coerced into an unhappy marriage with a man who is 15 years older than her while her parents just stand by.
