'Solo Cities'
Here's an interesting article that I want to share with you all....it's an interesting GK:p
Going Solo in the USA
By Sperling's BestPlaces
Sep 29th, 2008
Last year, the New York Times published the results of its census analysis stating that 51% of U.S. women live without a spouse. However, Sperling's BestPlaces discovered this might not be the whole story.
"The Times came to some insightful conclusions with their analysis," said Bert Sperling, lead researcher for Sperling's BestPlaces. "We made some different assumptions to more closely reflect our national lifestyle where fifteen year-old girls aren't commonly expected to get married."
The New York Times used, at that time, the latest demographics from the Census Bureau, including women above age fourteen who were unmarried or separated. Indeed, according to a University of Texas survey, the average age of women at their first marriage is 26.
Sperling's firm looked at similar Census data, but restricted its analysis to single, widowed, and divorced women age 25-64. Without this cap on the age range, places with higher concentrations of elderly people would show a misleading number of single women.
Sperling's conclusion is significantly different than the New York Times. In the 379 metro areas nationwide, 34% of women 25-64 are single.
Despite all the attention to this new milestone for single women, the difference between the number of single men and women is not as great as one might think. Nationally, 32% of men are single.
Where do the lonely hearts live?
"As interesting as the nation as a whole is trending," Sperling said, "we want to see which places had the greatest percentage of single men and women."
Sperling's firm broke down the data by metro area, revealing interesting patterns on where singles live.
San Francisco seems to attract single people like a good pickup line, if there is such a thing. Compared to every other metro area in the U.S., the San Francisco region, which includes areas south like San Mateo and Redwood City, has the highest percentage of single people.
Detroit, with 43% singles, is second only to San Francisco. New York, and Boston round out the top four.
Most southern cities are not flush with single people. Those cities in southern states that have more singles are homes to colleges, where students might choose to remain after graduation, or are known for their nightlife. New Orleans, Austin, and a handful of Florida cities all have more singles than the national average.
"There has to be a lot going on for singles," said David Evans in a phone interview with BestPlaces. Evans is an online dating researcher based in Boston, a city that is 39% single. Evans said Boston has the key factors for single living. "It's a college town, it has nightlife, culture, and lots of jobs."
Whether by choice or circumstance, many are living in some of the biggest cities, surrounded by millions, and still find themselves alone.

Hot Jobs for NIght Owls
There are many different types of jobs for different kinds of people out there. For those who like to stay up late or simply work better late at night, here are some of the jobs that can be considered that was obtained from Yahoo.
Hot Jobs for Night Owls
by Jennifer Acosta Scott, ClassesUSA
It's easy to spot the office night owl. He rolls into the office late, bleary-eyed, with a cup of coffee in hand. These workers' internal clocks just don't match up with the typical nine-to-five workday -- but that doesn't mean they have to resign themselves to a lifetime of dozing through early-morning meetings. Check out a sampling of some of the niftiest night-shift jobs.
EMT/Paramedic
Emergency medical technicians are needed round the clock. However, most workers tend to prefer daytime hours, leaving lots of opportunities open for night shifts, says Connie Meyer, a full-time paramedic and member of the board of directors for the National Association of EMTs. You'll need people skills, basic first aid and emergency care knowledge, and of course, the ability to stay calm in a crisis. "Panicking is OK, but you just need to know what to do with yourself when you do it," Meyer says.Average annual salary: $29,390; earning potential increases as you move from basic EMT certification to paramedic certification.
Casino Dealer
Casinos are little cities that never sleep, so there's always a demand for nighttime workers at the blackjack, craps and other gaming tables. Promotions are also possible. "Once you become a dealer and have a good track record, you can move up to pit manager or shift supervisor," says Carol Drea, director of corporate training at Atlantic Cape Community College's Casino Career Institute in New Jersey. Some casinos will train dealers on the job, but most prefer to hire dealers that have had formal training on at least three games.Average annual salary: $17,010, but a sharp dealer at a busy casino can double or even triple their wages with tips.
Registered Home Health Nurse
Home health agencies often need registered nurses to visit patients' homes in the middle of the night to reset IVs, troubleshoot finicky medical equipment, and assist in emergencies. "Catheters can come out, or maybe a patient falls and you have to assess whether they have an injury," says Mary Jean Schumann, director of nursing practice and policy for the American Nurses Association. You can become a registered nurse by completing a three- to four-year associate degree program, a four-year baccalaureate program, or a diploma program at a hospital.Average annual salary: $59,730
Newspaper Visual Journalist
A crew of designers often takes over the newsroom in the evening to place stories, along with photos and other graphic elements, on the next day's newspaper pages. Ideal candidates should have some technical savvy and a graphically-oriented eye. "You need to understand the basics of design and know a fair amount about computer programs, such as Quark XPress and CCI," says Elise Burroughs, executive director of the Society for News Design, a professional organization for visual journalists. Most visual journalists have college degrees, usually in journalism, art or graphic design.Average annual salary (based on "editor" positions): $51,750.
Cargo Pilot
The major freight companies -- such as UPS, DHL and Airborne -- do 80 percent of their flights at night, says Kit Darby, president of jet-jobs.com, a career information service for airline pilots. "These pilots are always moving against the clock," Darby says. These shipping companies also offer some of the highest salaries for pilots. To get a job with one of the major flying outfits, you'll need a commercial pilot's license, an airline transport pilot license, and about 5,000 hours of flying time.Average Annual Salary: $140,380
Clinical Lab Technicians
Someone has to process those lab tests for which patients so nervously await results. Since the hospital business is 24/7, many clinical lab technicians (also known as clinical laboratory scientists or medical technologists) work the night shift to ensure workflow, much of which could translate into life or death for patients. According to the BLS, clinical laboratory personnel examine and analyze body fluids, and cells for bacteria, parasites, and other microorganisms, among other duties. An entry-level position typically requires a bachelor's degree in medical technology or one of the life sciences.Average Annual Salary: $49,700

~TIME~
Mankind has done many things and can do many things mainly thanks to the ability to think. But there’s one thing that Man can never or has not been able to overcome or control---Time. Time is just one thing that moves on its own regardless of what happen. It’s just like a person who prefers to work alone all the time and will constantly do its part without complaining or taking any breaks. Because of this cold hard fact, every being and the un-identified existence have to accept the presence of Time, Time being uncontrollable and Time moving and working constantly, non-stop.
So far, what Man is able to do is manage Time. Using the time that is available to do the task that needs to be completed, that is what’s been possible to be done. That’s why, Man is still restricted by Time. How? For students, school work given by teachers has to be completed WITHIN the given Time. Teachers, they have to complete the syllabus WITHIN the Time in the form of the timetable. In the working world, task has to be completed WITHIN the given Time. These few examples that can be observed in daily life have clearly proved my point. Of course you may say that these are all plain common sense. Yes it is, I agree with you but this is one of the things that we sometimes forget or fail to notice. That is why this serves as a reminder.
Like any other things, Time, its presence or existence has its pros and cons. I would describe Time as the character, Erik from the story ‘The Phantom of the Opera’—it can be one’s best friend and the worst enemy. Time is the best friend when one develops its skills through daily activities. And just as the saying goes, Time mends the heart when one is down, at least most of the time. Time can also foster friendships and strengthening them. These are some of the examples that showed Time as one’s best friend. Time is the worst enemy when it weakens one after failing to mend the heart, exposing one to the facts of old age, makes relationship fade and shows the reality of life that Death has to come.
With this said, one just can’t help but wonder what things would be without Time. Would it be that Death will not exist? Would it be that Man will not grow old? And if this happens, would it be that Man will not flourish as they don’t learn any skills through their daily activities? So many question can arise from the imaginative, creative and curious mind of Man. Even though it is a fact that Time will stay and exist, one things for sure, Man can always choose how they want to manage or use Time. Whether happy or sad or simply blank, Man decides.
