Morning Radar: Three things we're talking about this morning
The magic number: For tiredness, it's 33. Two thirds of 33-year-olds claim that they spend more than 38 hours a week in the office. And 60 per cent say they are forced to double book work and social appointments to try to squeeze everything in, according to this piece in the Daily Mail.
And a new survey by Hotmail has found that age 33 is when the struggle to balance busy work, family and social activities takes up more time than at any other point in our lives.
Ninety per cent of 33-year-old women in the survey said they thought they were busier than men of the same age.
The good news is that once we hit 55 the pressures on our lives get easier, largely because our careers have peaked by then and our children have left home. Freedom 55 indeed. For more on the work-life juggle, click here.
Not even a teen mom: A 10-year-old has given birth in Southern Spain. Authorities are deciding whether she can keep the baby, who was reportedly fathered by a 13-year-old boy.
But surprisingly, she's not the youngest girl to have given birth, according to Time magazine
Earlier this year, a 9-year-old schoolgirl in northeast China gave birth and in 2008, another 10-year-old girl in Idaho, who got pregnant at age 9, carried a baby to term. And back in 1939, Lina Medina of Peru, became pregnant at the age of 5 years, 8 months, and became a mother by age 6 years, 5 months, according to Time.
WHO reports that 10 per cent of girls in low- and middle-income countries become mothers by the age of 16, and 11% of all births worldwide are to mothers age 10 to 19.
Sassy speech: And the latest in a long line of non-concession concession speeches was Republican Christine O'Donnell last night after she lost the Delaware senate seat to her Democratic rival Chris Coons.
Amid a lot of chipper, we-were-heard commentary about the party as a while being victorious, the plucky politician said she had phoned her opponent to urge him to watch her 30-minute commercial to find out what's really going on out there.
Funny, I bet he doesn't feel the need.
Is the non-concession concession speech like the non-apology apology: I'm sorry if you were offended; that was not my intention?
What's the most insincere line you've been fed?
