[2007-06-06] Russian Drinks
The first thing that crosses one’s mind when speaking about Russian drinks is certainly vodka. Yet, as a matter of fact, long before vodka there were no less popular drinks in Old Rus. As for vodka, it came to Russia via Lithuania where it was brought by the Genoese from their colony in the Crimea. Actually it did not happen until the mid 14th century. So vodka is another story. Initially these were only nonalcoholic liquids that were called drinks in Russia: they were invigorative and nourishing. Perhaps hence is the now archaic Russian expression translated as “to eat tea”. The history o [...]
[2007-06-06] If you want to help the poor, promote marriage.
If you want to help the poor, promote marriage. That’s the finding of scholars like Kay Hymowitz. Poverty is a real problem, even in the affluent United States. The rich-poor gap is deep and wide. But many programs that are created to deal with poverty ignore the very clear roots of the problem. Hymowitz wrote Marriage and Caste in America, whose findings were recently summarized by Father John Flynn on Zenit. She demonstrates how the breakdown of the family isn’t just a personal tragedy for those involved. It’s an economic disaster for them — which means it affects us all. A combination of [...]

[2007-06-04] A Vietnamese woman married to a Taiwanese man is challenging the widely held perception among Taiwanese that Southeast Asian wives are poor women with poor education who can hardly speak Mandarin.

She worked parttime after school and met a young Taiwanese man surnamed Chen, who had been posted there by a Taiwanese firm. She married Chen in 1993 and raised two children in Ho Chih Minh City u [...]
[2007-06-04] When it comes to dating, listen to your gut instinct, not your heart. Your gut tries to protect you from getting hurt, your heart has no clue what it is doing
Recently I interviewed Williams, author of the No. 1 dating book on BarnesandNoble.com, "Heartbreak-Free Dating."The basis of her approach can be found in this quote from her book:"When it comes to dating, listen to your gut instinct, not your heart. Your gut tries to protect you from getting hurt, your heart has no clue what it is doing."The secret, according to Williams, is to focus on what you want. You do this by knowing your requirements, needs and wants.Requirements - These are the things you must have in a relationship - these are the deal-breakers. If these requirements are not met, th [...]

People often assume that the person they’re dating will change once they are married; that the bad habits, character flaws or troubling tendencies will all miraculously go away once they say, “I do.” Why? Is it the magic tux he’s wearing? Her special-powers veil? What is going to miraculously take away his wandering eye or tendency to drink too much?

[2007-05-31] 6 principles of positive relationships
•Be yourself. Being comfortable with who you are and letting other people get to know the real you is critical. If you try to present an "image" and you keep your true self private, others don't get to know the real you -- and the special person you are. •Focus on your behavior, not the other person's. Unhealthy relationships develop when we focus on the other person's behavior -- what they need to change. This perspective almost always leads to problems. Conversely, quality relationships result when we focus on our part in the relationship and do not try to change the other person. Remembe [...]
