Sons conceived during a Dutch famine in 1945 were more likely to suffer from schizophrenia, and there are also linked between personality disorder and maternal nutrition. Maternal testosterone is linked to a higher predisposition to smoking, but not maternal smoking, which can cut testosterone levels. Maternal obesity and infections in pregnancy have also been linked to schizophrenia.

The Star Wars rule of clusters

Article Abstract:

Business books argue that clusters help industries to develop, and companies within those industries, while governments seek to promote business clusters. Many successful companies stay out of the cluster related to their industry, however, such as Microsoft, not located in Silicon Valley, and the investor, Warren Buffet, who lives far away from Wall Street. George Lucas, the film maker, is also located away from Hollywood. Clusters may help businessmen to become rich, but the very richest seem to operate away from clusters.
