“Mr and Mrs Abramovich have divorced in Russia on a consensual basis and have agreed terms in respect of arrangements for their (five) children and a fmancial settlement,” the statement said, without giving any details. The divorce follows newspaper reports that Abramovich has been seen with a young Russian model, Dana Zhukova.British newspapers, many of which ran the story on their front pages, said Irina Abramovich could get as much as half of her husband’s estimated $18.7 billion fortune and said it was the biggest divorce settlement in the world.Experts on divorce law said a 50/50 split of wealth accrued during the marriage would be normal procedure inRussia. “Russian divorce law is pretty straightforward. You must equally split all property and assets
which have been amassed since you have been married,” said a lawyer at a major Western legal firm in MoscowAbramovich, an orphan, split from his first wife, Olga, in 1990 and married Irma in 1991.

ARE SOME PEOPLE BORN BAD?

A t the age of 84, /4 America’s grand A. .k man of letters Norman Mailer has lost nothing of his appetite for controversy. His latest novel, The Castle In The Forest, tackles the childhood of Adolf Hitler.The book tells how two-year-old Adolf watched his father whip a dog with “a look of remarkable intensity for one so small”. And how, as a six-year-old, he went into the woods by himself “to work on the power of Adolf Hitler his voice. He would roarat the trees until his throat was sore”.Perhaps the most chilling passage is when Adolf causes the death of his younger brother, Edmund, by deliberately infecting him with measles by kissing him. But above all, the novel poses a central question:“When did evil enter Hitler’s soul?”And it provides an unequivocal answer: at the moment of conception.This, of course, is a dotty idea. For a start, the use of the word evil—which is associated with the occult and the Devil—is pure laziness because evil implies conduct that is so bad we can never explain it.But more importantly, Mailer’s novel does raise the issue of whether Hitler was predisposed at birth to be a genocidal tyrant. Or to put it another way, whether people can be born bad—whether it is in-evitable that some individuals will turn out to be murderers or rapists or bullies or thieves and there is nothing that can be done about it.Coincidentally, a so- called scientific study from the University of Virginia this week reached the conclusion that children may be “born to be bad”.But I believe this conclusion to be completely misguided. And I come to this conclusion having spent a lifetime studying truly bad people—I wrote the biography of the north London mass murderer Dennis Nilsen, for example, and came to know him well.Virginia’s experts in human genetics would have us believe that character defects such as criminal behaviour, the desire to bully others and the necessity to tell lies despite all evidence that one has been rumbled are tied up in our DNA.They have little or nothing to do withinfluences that may bombard us in our infancy. Thus, there is little virtue in trying to be a good child, because the programming of your personality has decided in advance that you can’t win.Forget about the soul, It is all to do with the ingredients that were thrown in by your parents, and by theirs, and soon ad infinitum.The result is a soup which cannot be unmixed.

IS SEX BETTER WHEN YOU ARE IN LOVE

Or is casual sex cooler? Read on to decide between romp and romance
CASUAL SEX
The term ‘casual sex implies there’s no commitment to the other person. Although this doesn’t necessarily mean there’s no sense of responsibility or care, in a casual encounter you’re more likely to focus on the here and now. You can enjoy the moment without much thought about what your partner thinks of you or what you think of them. Without the emotional complications of a relationship, you’re free to concentrate on physical satisfaction.SeK with a stranger—for many people, unfamiliarity is the key to casual sex. They find the mystery exciting and if there’s no chance of meeting again, inhibitions can be cast aside. It offers the chance to take on a new identity and act out a secret fantasy with little fear of rejection or shame.Experimental risks —The lure of casual sex lies in the fear of the unknown. Trying new things, positions and personas, there is a sense of being naughty, of tasting the forbidden fruit. Sometimes, people even try out different places (public and private) to add to the appeal and satisfaction of casual sex.
WHY IT S FUN
Psychological reasons some people pick up messages during childhood that casual sex is wrong (and therefore more exciting). Others have been. leftwith a fear of intimacy bytliir experiences: i.e. a broken heart or a shamelessly carefree libido.Physical reasons — when we take risks and feel fear, the sympathetic nervous system is stimulated. Breathing becomes faster, blood pressure rises and adrenalin is released. Our body enters a state of high alert. If you add sexual messages at this point, the body will respond faster.
MAKING LOVE WHENIN LOVE
Italian scientists have discovered that the biochemical state offalling in love is similar to obsessive compulsive disorder. Theyearning of couples to be together and learn about each other inintimate detail is overwhelming. They grab every opportunity to show affection and get as close as possible to one another.During this period sex can be very exciting. There’s still some of the mystery of casual sex and also some risk. The difference is that sex is more mutual when we’ve fallen in love. It’s about givirig and sharing ourselves physically and emotionally. As well as sexual satisfaction, we can expect to feel emotionaifulfilment. Sex becomes the ultimate act of intimacy.
SEX N A LONGTERMRELATIONSHIP
Those Italian scientists say thebrain returns to normal after six to 18 months. It seems it’s not physically possible to stay in that manic state of obsession with a partner for much longer ban that. It’s then that we either fall out of love or the relationship matures.When a relationship matures, sex matures. You now have the advantage of knowing each other well. Fear of rejection is replaced with trust and security. This allows you to move Into a stage of experimentation and mutual growth. You can take the time to fine-tune your skills as a lover.
SO WHAT’S SETTER?
Sex can be exciting whether or not you’re in love, and at any stage of a relationship. Sex in a loving relationship offers an opportunity to grow together and become great lovers. It may not be possible to recapture the mystery of casual sex but there’s a much higher chance of all-round fulfilment.
CASUAL TO FOREVER
Casual sex: risk, mystery, urgency and focus on the physical. Early love: mutual feelings, yearning, giving, affection and focus on physical satisfaction and emotional fulfilment.Long-term relationship: knowledge, trust, skill, experimentation and focus on deepening physical and emotional satisfaction.

Love's not in the air

By Harshikaa Udasi
you win some. You lose some,” these words of Delna Pastakia, 23, managementstudent and salsa instructor, best sum up the status report on how women handle relationships. Whether she is 21 or 29, the new age woman has definitely found her voice and expresses herself vociferously. At the same time, it is surprising to see that she is also not willing to hurt her family (much to the relief of traditionalists who would rather hear a coy yes than a brash no).

Relationships do matter for the girls, but for those who expect a domesticated conformist at the other end, watch out! The new age girl is just sharpening her talons. There are enough ifs and buts involved in every statement, an argument where there was none before and a problem for every traditional solution. They think aloud. They assert their opinions. And they do as they will. At least that is the pattern most of the times.
Delna’s love for dance began when she was 16, but her parents were not too welcoming of her choice. “Obviously they were unsure of my plans. Moreover, I was an active Rotaractor which was a drain on their finances. So I decided to fund my dance education,” she says. “My parents were clueless about this.” For Delna, that meanttakingup part-time assignments that kept her out late. But she worked her way up, and four years later she became a professional salsa instructor.
When her parents found out, it came as a shocker to them. “They always thought I was far too independent and a rebel to an extent, but that their daughter had been secretly funding her dance classes on her own was a shock,” says Delna, Now, alongwith her management lessons, she is pursuing her passion and hopes to make a career of it.
Never exposed to troubles of gender discrimination at home, Delna got a rude shock after she chose marketing as her specialisation. “In my summer job with an FMCG company, I was practically demotivated daily. The sales guys would tell me that there was no need for me to get into grassroots research and interact with the retailers and distributors. Eventually, I realised it was a difficult image to break,” she adds.
Following your heart is not always an easy option for women; they may have to fight many odds at home. Greha Motaliya, 21, is doing her post-graduation in journalism, but she knows that her family will support her only till she completes her studies. “They want me to have a job with flexi-timings and journalism hardly has anything of that sort. I have no choice except to look for something that suits them,” she says. Just as she may hate the fact that parents follow different rule-books for boys and girls, she admits that her rebellion doesn’t go too far.
For some, the tug-of-war with relatives could go on for ever. Four years ago, when Shraddha Kamdar, 29, decided to take up journalism, she was single and had lost her mother. At a young age, Shraddha was put in charge of the household and she became, so to say, the lady of the house. That’s when she decided to voice her opinion. “I wanted to do what I thought would be good for me. I decided to pay for my education and move ahead. Elders of the family did not approve of my decision, and I had to snatch my freedom,” she says.

Action video games good for eyes?

Singapore: Video game addicts, rejoice: US researchers have found that playing is actually good for your eyes, and despite all those dire warnings from your parents, it won’t make you blind.A study by the University of Rochester showed that people who played action video games for a few hours a day over the course of a month improved their vision by about 20%. “Action video game play changes the way our brains process visual information,” Daphne Baveller, professor of brain and cognitive sciences, said in the study published on the university’s web site, wwwrochesteredu, on Tuesday“These games push the human visual system to the limits and the brain adapts to it. That learning carries over into other activities and possibly everyday life.”Bavelier, along with a graduate student, tested a number of college students who had played very few, if any, video games in the last yearTest subjects were given an eye test similar tQ the one used at regular eye clinics and then divided into two groups — one played shoot-em-up action games for an hour a day while the control group played a less visually complex game.Their vision was tested after the study, with those who played the action game scoring better in the eye test.The researchers said their fmdings could help patients with several types of visual defects.Last week, West Virginia, which has the worst childhood obesity problem in the US, stepped up plans to use ‘Dance Dance Revolution’ to battle the bulge in its schools.The state said on Wednes- day that research suggestedthat the video game helped put a halt to weight gain.
