Women Waiting Longer to Have Children
The recent recession is partly to blame for an increase in maternal age at first birth, one researcher says.Professionals in the U.S. and its culture view children as an earned luxury.
Earning comes first.
The requirement delays and limits child bearing.
The subprofessional population is excluded from the
urban culture.

The plant was designed to the best practices at the time of designs.

Three’s a Trend: Leopard Coats
This season, as ever, the timeless animal print is back on outerwear. The common denominator: a strong lapel (and heavy dose of attitude).Fur is questionable as fashion.
Here it is pattern that dominates.
In the urban environment the dense spots are an accent rather than
a camouflage. They show the outline and hide the contours.
Urban backgrounds tend to be monochrome and smooth.
