...BABIES An infant's birth weight may be a function of how much social support the expectant mother receives during pregnancy. Researchers at UCLA and the University of California at Irvine interviewed nearly 250 pregnant women, gathering data about the baby's father, the baby's grandparents and the mother's close friendships. They found that women who received support from multiple sources tended to have bigger babies, perhaps because they were encouraged to stop smoking and start eating better...

The last convicts arrived in New South Wales in 1840, and many were absorbed into gangs, or pushes, of "larrikins"-hooligans.
