		Hardyment points to the fact that families are still responsible for the bulk of socialising in British life and that family members talking to each other account for a large proportion of telephone usage.
		He heralded a new era for the family as the old structures of patriarchy, duty and deference crumble to give way to a more democratic model between partners, and between parents and their children.
		As geographical mobility continues to spread families over greater distances and the smaller family size increases the dependency of the elderly on their one or two children, loneliness in the final decades of our longer lives will be a huge issue.

	Family Fortunes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Family Fortunes is a long-running British game show, based on the American game show Family Feud.
		If a family managed to come up with all the answers given by the "100 people surveyed" (most commonly six in the early part of the show, reduced in number after the commercial break), they would win the pounds equivalent of the total number of people who had given the answers.
		On October 29, 2005 Family Fortunes returned as the "grand final" of Ant and Dec's Gameshow Marathon, a series of revivals of former popular ITV game shows shown to mark the channel's 50th anniversary, and hosted by its most ubiquitous presenters of recent years.

	NG London/Press: 'Family Fortunes'
		It looks at how painters have sought pictorial solutions to some of the problems raised in painting families: for example, how they have found visual means to represent dynastic succession, the continued significance of absent ancestors or the hopes for future generations - all essential elements of a family's fortune.
		Included in the exhibition are depictions of families of every type from aristocratic portraits to the peasant families of Jan Steen and the Le Nain brothers.
		A less optimistic attitude toward familial relations is suggested by Degas's portrait of Hélène Rouart in which the young woman is shown surrounded by - and seemingly overwhelmed by - the objects in her father's art collection.

	BBC - collective - Family Fortunes.
		Throughout the game of Family Fortunes, the cultural creation of the family structure is hailed as a powerful, knowledgeable force: there is a strong emphasis on the family unit working together cohesively in order to answer questions (to win a series of predominantly domestic prizes).
		The fortunes of the family are decided at the level by which the family conforms as a single, unified group to the norms and values of its culture: the greater level of conformity between the two opposing families is rewarded a prize.
		Family Fortunes flatters those at home by appealing to a sense of the familiar to offer them a sense of individual identity (which, in fact, is the identity of the masses).

	Family Fortunes - Hearst, Getty & Rockefeller
		William was almost ruthless in his quest to become the best newspaper in New York City, many times outbidding his competitors to hire the most aggressive executives and reporters even from within their own ranks.
		With the passing of his mother in 1919, Hearst took up permanent residence on the family's 268,000-acre San Simeon Ranch in southern California, building what is now well known as the Hearst Castle for an estimated $37 million.
		Unquestionably, there is no family in America that has contributed more both in their business ventures and philanthropic activities.

		The bank, which serves roughly 300 of the country's 4,500 wealthiest families - 70 percent of which are served by a formal family office structure - is in the process of rolling out a virtual family office platform called the Northern Trust Passport for Family Offices.
		A traditional family office structure consists of a team of professionals dedicated to providing wealth management services to one or more generations of a single family of substantial wealth.
		Northern Trust Passport for Family Offices is essentially a Web-based portal designed to provide the behind-the-scenes integration of all of a family office's tools in order to create a single, aggregated net worth statement, balance sheet or income statement - the Holy Grail, according to those who manage family offices.

	Family Feud - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Family Feud is a television game show that pits two families against each other in a contest to name the most popular responses to a survey-type question posed of 100 people.
		One family member leaves the stage and is placed in an isolation booth and the other is given 20 seconds (15 seconds before 1994) to answer those questions.
		Again, eight families were brought back, but this time consisted of either families who previously lost their first game (for the tournament that was held in May 2005 and May 2006), or previously winning families but not necessarily focusing on the higher winning families of the past (for the Tournament held in February 2006).

		Contestants from the ITV (UK) Family Fortunes game-show are asked to guess the most popular answers to questions posed in a survey.
		Whatever, the funny answers from Family Fortunes are some of the funniest things you will ever read, and strangely the amusement doesn't seem to dim, no matter how many times you revisit them.
		Family Fortunes, and the 'Family Misfortunes' spin-off show featuring the funny answers, still run on TV and the show remains a rich source of hilariously funny answers like these below.

	Family fortunes
		Families are understandably reluctant to lose large chunks of their deceased relative's estate in inheritance tax (IHT).
		However, several family members can arrange to have SIPPs with the same provider, so that in effect they are covered by the same master trust arrangement.
		Consequently, when the SIPP policyholder dies (after age 75), the remaining fund can be passed to surviving family members' pension funds, rather than being lost.

		Family businesses may sound tight-knit and may, at first, seem to take a cautious approach – not the sort of place an ambitious FD would ordinarily want to work.
		Family businesses face their biggest challenge when the company is handed on from one generation to the next.
		Family trusts currently control four of the companies, but the largest company – which runs the mainstream business – has been handed over to an employee benefit trust similar in structure to that run by the John Lewis Partnership.

		Take two families, a large game board which looked like it was brought from a dodgy salesman at a bargain price, a host who could do an impression of Mavis from Coronation Street and questions supplied by the public in specially commissioned surveys.
		The family who first made £300 went through to the final round where the excitement peaked (apparently) when the family with the most points selected two members of the family to play a fast money game against the clock- yes, it was time for Biiiig Money!
		It was a nice gentle show with a lot of humour in it, and there was some evolution of the format near the end - particularly the chance to win a car (and later a holiday) if you found all five top answers in the end game.

		One problem I had with "Fahrenheit 9-11" was that Michael Moore cut a lot of quotations out of context and showed brief quotations that caused me to doubt whether the quote was relevant to the point being made or taken out of context.
		Interesting enough, he does recognize that the Democrats are just as bad as the Republicans in politics, so for those who accuse him of being a liberal propagandist, pay attention to his criticism of the Democrats and the American two party system.
		This is the true and easily found story of the Bush family history of looting this country.

		That larger story starts in the late 14th century, when the family’s forebear Clement was no more than a bondman who rode to the mill ‘on the bare horseback with his corn under him’ – or so their enemies later claimed.
		The family did their best to avoid being drawn into the disputes over the crown; when they did finally commit themselves, fighting on the side of their own supporter the Earl of Oxford, it was the wrong one – Lancastrian, at the moment when the Yorkists emerged triumphant.
		His fortunes were further helped by a series of deaths, not just of old enemies, but of his stalwart mother, Margaret, who had done so much to protect the family’s interests, and whose lands now reverted to him.

		Fortune certainly smiled on owner-breeder Tony Santic this year when he was able to offer Makybe Diva's half-brother, by boom sire Redoute's Choice, at the Sydney Easter yearling sale.
		With every buyer with deep pockets eager to buy the progeny of the son of Danehill, the Tugela colt was sold for an Australian record for a yearling of $2.5 million to the bid of the Ingham family's Woodlands Stud.
		The colt was purchased largely with a view to a future stud career and as he carries the same name — Musket, sire of Carbine — as one of Australasia's great sires of the late 19th century, the pressure will certainly be on him to perform.

		The questions are supplied by the public, and some of the answers given in the past are legendary, such the woman who was asked to name a dangerous race and said the Arabs, or the guy who answered Naomi Campbell to "Name a bird with a long neck"!).
		There are a few neat features, such as the FMV of the perennially perky Dennis or the ability to import pictures of real faces into your clan, while the simplistic nature of the game makes it easy on the PC requirements.

		We are invited to consider what we mean by families, and what was meant at different times in history: in many of these paintings the father is absent and, in some, the painting was intended to serve as a photograph might today - a reminder, a memento, a memory of a particular moment.
