Georgia: Research by sociologists from the University of Georgia found that, men who take more interest in fatherhood and take more responsibility in looking after their children have higher quality relationships and more sex. The sociologists grouped 487 couples into three categories: those where men did the most childcare, those where women did the most childcare, and those who split the caring among themselves. The research showed that women who did most of the childcare saw a decrease in their sex life and relationships.

Florida beach gives up a Spanish fortune
Florida: Three hundred years after 1715 Plate Fleet was wrecked off the coast of Florida, treasure hunters have recovered gold coins worth $ 4.5 million in 6 ft deep water near a public beach. “It was just kind of amazing, on the actual 300th anniversary, they decided to tell a little bit more of their story,” said Captain Brent Brisben, owner of 1715 Fleet Queen Jewels, the company that owns exclusive salvage rights to the shipwrecks. The trove comprises more than 350 coins including nine known as royals that were specially minted for the king and are valued at $300,000 (£191,000) apiece. Until now, only 15 such coins had ever been found. 51 year old diver William Bartlett who found them, said, “I am actually touching history. The last person to lay hands on these coins was the Spaniard who loaded them onto the galleon 300 years ago.”
