Scandinavian women are finding better things to try, when they spread their wings, so delay motherhood until they find out how bad the alternatives are.

There are maps of each region, and a map of the world showing, the oldest business in each country that has continuously operated and when it started.

However the large map shows Kongo Gumi in Japan as the oldest in Japan and the world founded in 578... no, I didn't leave out a number, over 1400 years. Kongo Gumi got caught up in Japan's easy money/low interest era and borrowed to buy overpriced properties used as collateral. When the real estate bubble popped and values nosedived they couldn't handle the debt and went belly up in 2006 becoming a subsidiary of Takamatsu Corp.

One of the slaves at Shirley Plantation, Siah Hulett, escaped and served on the USS Monitor.
