Abstract and Keywords
Income distribution is defined as both the process of distributing income to individuals and families and as the statistical consequences of that distribution. After examining the measurement issues that enter into this distribution, the discussion highlights the evidence for rising inequality in the United States. It finds the top quintile, and even more starkly, the top 5% and 1% of all households, to have made most of the gains. Identifying the effects of globalization as the prime cause for this shift, income distribution is then correlated with other social welfare policy issues such as economic growth, health, and political democracy.
Keywords: GINI coefficient, globalization, households, families, inequality, quintiles, skill premium, trade unions

For the second consecutive presidential election, my partner has been by my side; hopefully we win this one like we did the last one.
Say what you want to say about the past four years, either way it was a turning (and tipping) point for our nation. I believe, in general, the nation has become more aware of the political impact their votes have. We've learned as a nation, we've started the process of recovering, and we are trying to pick our spot in the global merry-go-round...we aren't what we once were, but it is not to late to get back where we were.
Hopefully you voted today; it is a privilege you/we shouldn't take for granted.

The weather outside is about to get frightful and some of us just weren't made for colder temperatures. We bundle up nice and warm to go outside and we tend to eat heavier hot meals to keep us nice and toasty.
Nothing will warm your soul like a big warm bowl of soup. Specifically pho. A hot delicious broth with hearty noodles and your choice of beef (definitely try meatballs) or chicken with all the fixings.
If you're not into soup, there are other options at BFF. Start your meal with some sweet potato tempura which is a thinly sliced sweet potato that is battered and fried, or fried green beans with spicy mayo. Dumplings (aka pot stickers) are another favorite appetizer if you're trying to stay away from deep fried foods. They have yummy marinated chicken and cabbage, wrapped with wonton paper and typically boiled or pan seared and served with pot sticker sauce.
Salmon is most sought after fish during the winter. It's the perfect time to try a crunchy salmon roll, a sushi with salmon, avocado, and cream cheese, deep-fried, topped with spicy mayo, then deep-fried, or a baked Alaskan roll, which is a California roll topped with baked salmon, spicy mayo and eel sauce. A heftier entree of grilled salmon served with pickled daikon, carrots, cucumbers, cilantro, jalapeños, house mayonnaise, peanuts and tuna fish sauce or soy sauce on the side will get your blood flowing.
Some other Asian comfort foods for your winter warm up to try are the chunky beef steak or kungpow chicken. With tender chunks of beef steak marinated with Japanese sesame oil, this dish will remind you of a crockpot stew. Bring on the heat with kungpow chicken, a spicy stir-fried chicken with dried Thai-chili, broccoli, yellow onions and lettuce, served with the white rice.

Buying real estate is a big step for anyone, especially for the first time buyer. The commitment and expense can be very stressful. Keep reading to learn the tips you need to know to relax and be confident in your purchase.
If you are thinking about moving, you may want to research the neighborhoods of properties you are interested in online. Using the web, you can nearly become an expert on the area without even leaving your home. Prior to buying a property, take a look at the surrounding area's population, employment levels and median income in order to determine whether you find the region appealing and promising.
When you are looking to purchase a new house, think about your long term picture. At the moment you might not have kids, but if this is a place where you plan on living for awhile then you might want to check out the local school situation to ensure it is suitable for your kids.
You should be willing to show a degree of flexibility. Maybe you can't live in the most perfect community and in the most perfect home, but you might be able to do one of those things. If you are unable to locate the kind of house you want in a neighborhood you like, look elsewhere for that style home, or look for other houses in that neighborhood.
Get a checklist from your realtor. Realtors have checklists for everything, from creating a budget to getting a mortgage. Such a document is a great way to ensure that all details of the transaction are addressed.
If you want a great investment in buying property, you should think about repairing and remodeling it. You'll earn an instant return on it as you see your property value rises. In fact, the value of the home may even go up more then you actually invested in it.
Investing in real estate is always a risky situation. Property values are low due to a recent fall in the housing market. It is the best time to go from apartment living to being a home owner. When the housing market corrects itself, your home purchase will begin to earn money as an investment.
Write down all the important questions that you need to ask potential real estate agents. Make sure they're familiar with the neighborhoods you're interested in, and ask about how many homes sales they were involved in. A good agent will be able to answer all your questions.
If you have found a home that you are considering buying, be sure to get online and research the registry for local sex offenders. While the sex offender registry is public, you had best check it yourself, as the agent and seller are unlikely to voluntarily disclose this information. Make sure you learn as much as you can.
Now that you have the knowledge you need, are you ready to commit to buy? With the tips above, your answer is almost certainly "yes." Opt to apply the ideas that reflect your circumstances, in order to ensure your success. Buying real estate does not have to be a difficult time. It feels great to finally own property! Just be smart about your choices and watch your numbers.

It's the auspicious day of Eid and going by the tradition of the festival, Salman Khan released his latest movie, Bharat today. Owing to it's early festive release, Bharat saw several houseful theatres on its day one itself. Flocking in big number, Salman Khan fans arrived for the first show of the film and gave us their reviews.
While many could not stop gushing over the story, Salman and Katrina's chemistry and the music, a special mention was given to actor Sunil Grover for this impeccable comic timing and a brilliant performance in the film. With just a few complaints about the runtime and some weak plot points, Bharat seems to have passed the audience test.
Check out this video of the public reviewing Bharat for us.

Consumers were buffeted with a 16.87% increase in electricity rates last January, with the average electricity rate being raised from 41.81 cents per kilowatt-hour to 48.86 cents per kilowatt-hour, due to a reported rise in the cost of power. Since then, though, Belizean consumers have seen a reprieve, with the electricity rate falling to 44.65¢, and effective July 1, 2014, there may be a further 2.65% decrease to 43.47¢.
John Avery, chairman of the Public Utilities Commission (PUC), told the media at a press conference Monday afternoon that the PUC's decision calls for total corrections of $17.7 mil in favor of consumers.
Avery said that in its submission on April 1, 2014, the Belize Electricity Limited (BEL) asked for more money to cover operational expenses, but they also proposed that the rates should be lowered to 43 cents per kilowatt hour – a reduction of about 3.7%.
The PUC chairman said that with further corrections to be paid in favor of consumers, rates are likely to decrease further down the road.
According to Avery, the 43 cents is what BEL got from applying its own methodology. He said that under the law, the PUC has the obligation and the responsibility to ensure the financial viability of the licensee – in this case BEL – and so the PUC must apply a particular method of setting rates, as stipulated in law.
Belize still relies heavily on Mexico for electricity. Derek Davis, the PUC's Electrical Engineer, informed us that from July 2012 to June 2013, Mexico supplied 56.03% of the country's power needs, but between July 2013 and February 2014, that figure fell to 25.71%, with the hydro operations at Mollejón, Vaca and Chalillo powering almost 64% of the country's needs.
The supply of power from bagasse cogeneration at the Belize Sugar Industries' BELCOGEN facility is down from 10.71% between July 2012 and June 2013 to 4.13% between July 2013 and February 2014.
The change in the energy mix has meant that the unit cost of power has dropped substantially over the 7-month period, by about 32% – from 32.2 cents per kilowatt hour to 21.9 cents, some of which will be passed on to consumers within the next couple of months.
The decrease in rates would be due to corrections that the PUC would apply to existing rates, to take into account the fact that BEL collected $1.26 million more in revenues than the PUC had approved, and that the company paid $16.4 million less for cost of power than had been projected.
The PUC had also structured the tariff basket of rates so that BEL would earn $210.86 million, but BEL earned $212.13 million, so the excess is being rebated to consumers.
If BEL had collected less than the PUC had approved, the correction in rates would be in favor of BEL, Avery explained.
Whereas BEL proposed $93.3 mil in asset investments for July 2013 to June 2016, the PUC has approved $76 million. Avery said that the PUC's decision to reduce the figure was based on BEL's pace of making investments, and also on the fact that BEL is allowed to capitalize the interest on loans used for investments while those are under construction.
The PUC will accept comments on its initial decision until Monday, May 12. If there is a substantial objection from BEL or an interested party representing at least 10% of consumers, the PUC will engage an independent expert to conduct a review. However, if there is no objection, the initial decision becomes final.
The PUC's initial decision may be viewed in its entirety at its office at 41 Gabourel Lane, Belize City, or on the PUC's website at www.puc.bz.

Nest 7 Plus is a practical extension of the Nest collection by Joseph Joseph with a fresh design and practical, new qualities. Even complicated recipes no longer seem scary.
The foundation of the Nest 7 Plus consists of five measuring cups in different sizes that can easily be stacked. The different sizes enable measurements starting with a teaspoon (5 ml) up to 250 ml. Additionally, five measuring cups help you avoid having to wash the measuring cup while cooking. Both mixing bowls have anti-slip feet and large carrying handles that increase comfort. The smaller bowl possesses a measuring scale on the inside and also has a pourer for accurate portioning.
The innovative design of the Nest 7 Plus kitchen set makes it possible to stack several elements inside each other. Thanks to the colour range, the kitchen set by Joseph Joseph looks just as fantastic in this state. This means that you have many kitchen helpers that only need a little space. Of course the Joseph Joseph Nest 7 Plus can also be cleaned in the dishwasher.
More details:
The set includes:
5 x measuring cups (5/15ml, 60ml, 85ml, 125ml, 250ml)
1 x small mixing bowl with measuring scale and pourer
1 x medium mixing bowl

Officials at the Solid Rock Church in Monroe, Ohio say they'll rebuild a 62 foot tall statue of Jesus, destroyed by fire last night. The Hamilton,Ohio Journal News reports that lightning struck the statue during a severe thunderstorm causing 700-thousand dollars in damage to the structure and the church theater behind it.
The statue has long been the center of controversy and jokes because of its size, with some calling it "butter Jesus" and others "touchdown Jesus" because of its outstretched hands. This morning, social media outlets are filled with gallows type humor about its destruction. With all due respect to my friends who think it's funny, I just don't see the humor behind the loss.
First of all, as a Christian, I find the burning of any statue that depicts Christ to be tragic. I also don't find a 700-thousand dollar loss to any church to be particularly funny, since that is a huge amount of money for any non-profit to absorb. While I understand that art appreciation is subjective, and the sheer size of this particular icon on I-75 has fueled the controversy, it's the oversight of what the statue symbolized that bothers me.
Yes, a statue is just a statue, but there seems to be a mean spiritedness about this one, and sadly from many people who call themselves Christian. It was a statue of Jesus Christ! How can you call yourself a person of faith if you mock the destruction of a religious icon, even if you thought it was ugly? Living in nearby Hamilton, which is known as the Sculpture capital of Ohio subjects me and my neighbors to hideous displays of artist's art. However, even though I find many of them distasteful I would not find it funny if their hard work was burned to the ground.
I find it odd that as the disgust over "the Jesus" continues that most who are laughing have never complained about the towering sign just south of the church, that promotes Hustler Hollywood and pornography. Sure,for some, the argument is the same old mantra that adults have the right to view porn if they wish. Perhaps that's true, but likewise, church leaders have the right to build a 62 foot tall statue of Christ if they wish, and at least "the Jesus" didn't promote the degradation and over-sexualizing of women. I find it a bit disappointing that Christians and otherwise decent human beings don't seem to get this. Personally, I'm glad the church has decided to rebuild.
If the Solid Rock Church's decision to build the statue was to get people talking about God, then "the Jesus" fulfilled it's purpose, and is continuing to do so even though it's gone. As I drove by the wreckage this morning, I was amazed at the number of people standing on the side of the interstate, photographing the scene. Perhaps they wanted a momento of their joy over its destruction. Perhaps they were saddened because the statue of their Lord is gone.
For me, I won't debate the validity of the art, and I won't laugh in the face of it's ruin. Instead, now that I've said my peace, I will simply borrow the words from Joshua, Chapter 24:15 which says: "As for me and my house we will serve the Lord." I think this verse says it best, and I will continue to serve Him, even if He's six stories tall.

State Bank responds quickly
Lower interest rates have certainly been welcomed by many companies and the Government is continually calling on the State Bank of Vietnam to find all possible measures to tackle this issue.
At the National Assembly meeting on 8 November, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc once again reminded the State Bank: "Restructure weak commercial banks and take urgent and tough action against bad debt, while making good use of the monetary policies to cut down interest rates on loans by at least 0.5%, especially in preferential areas, by 2020".
In a quick response to the Prime Minister, on 18 November, the State Bank announced reducing the interest rate at credit institutions (CIs) which would immediately be effective from the very next day. The SBV has decided to reduce the annual interest rate from 0.2% to 0.5% on Vietnamese currency deposits of both business enterprises as well as individuals at CIs. In particular, the maximum interest rate on current deposits, and deposits with terms of less than one month, will be from 1% to 0.8% per year; while deposits with terms of one month to less than six months will drop from 5.5% per year to 5% per year. Interest rates on deposits with terms from six months or more will be decided by the CIs, based on the demand and supply of capital in the market.
The fact that the State Bank still applies a lifetime cap indicates that it is quite difficult to promote the market economy in Vietnam without lifetime caps and with the least possible formalities, because the State Bank now has to work harder to control the open market when the cap is lower. On 9 October for instance, SBV lowered interest rate on bonds for the third time this year to 2.25% on deposits with a term of seven days. Since then, SBV has continually pumped in more cash via bonds. By mid-November, more than VND 37,990 bn worth of bonds were in circulation. Adjustments to interest rates and continued pumping of cash shows SBV support to banks in the context of lower interest rates on short-term loans.
Also, liquidity in the past few months has been in abundance (interbank interest rates were 1.8% - 2.2% per year) thanks to SBV purchase of foreign cash and low credit growth rate. This is a supportive measure that enables SBV to ask commercial banks to lower interest rates on short-term loans. Additionally, in order to reduce lending pressure on commercial banks, Circular No.22/2019 was issued on 15 November providing limits and guaranteed rates in bank operations and its foreign branches. SBV extended the period to lower short-term capital for medium and long-term loans by three months, longer than the previous plan. Particularly, the percentage of short-term capital for medium and long-term loans will remain at 40% through 30 September 2020 instead of going down to 35% by 30 June 2020.
Low interest rates on short-term loans only
Only by using several measures mentioned above can SBV lower interest rate on loans with term of less than six months and interest rate on short-term loans in five preferential fields. According to market analysts, only commercial banks with state funding are affected by this plan. After Vietcombank, perhaps VietinBank and BIDV will also announce lower interest rates on packages in all fields, rather than in just preferential fields. However, small and medium-sized commercial joint stock banks lower interest rates only in preferential fields, because lower lifetime cap on short-term deposits is based mainly on abundant liquidity in the system. While liquidity in the system is short-term capital, it will hardly spread to interest rates on loans and can only happen in banks with enough capital.
-Dr. Trương Văn Phước, former acting Chairman, National Financial Supervisory Commission
Commenting on the lower interest rates, Dr. Tran Du Lich, member of National Fiscal and Monetary Policy Advisory Council, said that a positive trend has emerged this year from issuance of more corporate bonds, and reducing pressure on demand for credits at CIs. This is one reason why SBV adopted the policy to control loan interest rates before gradually reducing interest rates in preferential fields. Nonetheless, interest rates will not be reduced much, especially consumer credits; or credits of those borrowers with no advantages; and medium and long-term credits, because commercial banks will still raise capital with terms of more than six months at high interest rates.

Transcript Exponential Growth and Decay
The largest longhorn breeder's competition is coming up and Old MacDonald is tired of coming in second place. His wife, Mrs. MacDonald, suggests that Old MacDonald create a formula using exponential growth and decay to feed his favorite longhorn, BEVO, so that his horns grow faster.
Exponential Growth
Old MacDonald's wife reminds him that the standard form of a growth equation is: x_t = x_0 * (1 + r)t/n and to be very careful with his calculations. 't' is the time in days, so 'x sub t' is the final size after 't' days. 'x naught' is the original size, (1 + r) is the growth factor, where '1' represents 100%, and 'n' is the time it takes for the horns to grow by a full growth factor.
Old MacDonald comes up with a special vitamin mix that promises a horn growth of 25%, which can be written as 0.25, every 10 days. So the formula is: x_t = x_0 * (1 + 0.25)t/10. The initial length of BEVO's horns, 'x naught', is 4 feet. In order to know how fast BEVO's horns will grow, Old MacDonald plugs in the number of days for 't'. So, after 10 days, the equation for how long BEVO's horns will be is 4 * (1.25)(10/10) feet, or simply, 5 feet.
Every day for 50 days, Old MacDonald plans to feed BEVO meals with specially-prepared vitamins mixed in. Let's take a look at how much BEVO's horns will grow: After 10 days, BEVO's horns will be 5 feet long. After 20 days, they will be 6.25 feet long, and after 50 days, BEVO's horns will be about 12.21 feet long and BEVO will be assured to win the competition!
Exponential Decay
BUT Old MacDonald makes a SLIGHT calculation error and writes 2.5 instead of 0.25. After just 20 days, BEVO's horns are already at 49 feet! Since Old MacDonald isn't allowed to enter a longhorn with horns longer than 12.5 feet into the competition, he has to reverse the process. But he only has 30 days left in which to do so. Old MacDonald's wife helps him again and tells him that the equation for decay is similar to the equation for growth, BUT instead of adding 1 and 'r' to get the growth factor, 'r' is subtracted from 1 to get the decay factor.
Old MacDonald wants to have BEVO's horns close to 12.5 feet, so he concocts another vitamin mix that has a decay factor of 37%, which means that every 10 days, BEVO's horns will shrink by 37%. BEVO's horns currently measure 49 feet from tip to tip. Let's take a look at the length of the horns after 10 days and see if this new pill will fix Old MacDonald's problem. After 10 days, BEVO's horns should be 30.87 feet long; after 20 days, about 19.45 feet and 12.25 feet after 30 days.
It's the day of the longhorn breeder's competition! Old MacDonald is so excited! WHAT'S THIS!?!? I guess you could say Old MacDonald is "stumped" as to how this happened…
Exponential Growth and Decay Exercise
Would you like to practice what you've just learned? Practice problems for this video Exponential Growth and Decay help you practice and recap your knowledge.
Define exponential growth and decay.
Just look at the basis of the power:
- $1+r>1$
- $1-r<1$
If you raise a number greater than $1$ by a positive power you get a value greater than $1$ as well.
Look at the example, consider $x_t=10\times 1.5^{t}$.
Here we have
- $x_1=15$
- $x_2=22.5$
- ...
Here you see the formula for an exponential process. We distinguish between exponential growth and exponential decay.
Let's have a look at the basis of the power, $(1\pm r)$. What does this mean?
For $(1+r)$ we have a basis greater than $1$ and thus a power which is greater than $1$ as well. So $x_t$ is bigger than $x_0$. We can then conclude that we have an exponential growth. $(1+r)$ is called the growth factor.
By the same argument we can determine an exponential decay for $(1-r)$. Here $(1-r)$ is called the decay factor.
What's the meaning of the other terms? The other terms are independent of exponential growth or decay.
- $\frac tn$ is the growing (or decaying) time in days by one growth (or decay) factor.
- $x_t$ is the size after $t$ days.
- $x_0$ is the original size, the starting size.
Determine the growth of Bevo's horns.
Just put the given value for $t$ in the growth formula.
To round a decimal number, like $3.1415$ for example, proceed as follows:
- Look at the third decimal position; e.g. $1$ for $3.1415$.
- If this is less than $5$ you have to round down.
- Otherwise you have to round up.
For $t=100$, we have
$x_{100}=4\times 1.25^{\large \left(\frac {100}{10}\right)}=37.2529...\approx 37.25$.
We can see all solutions in the table to the right.
How do we get these solutions?
We put each $t$-value in the formula $x_t=4\times 1.25^{\large \left(\frac t{10}\right)}$:
- $t=10$ gives us $x_{10}=4\times 1.25^{\large \left(\frac {10}{10}\right)}=5$.
- $t=20$ gives us $x_{20}=4\times 1.25^{\large \left(\frac {20}{10}\right)}=6.25$.
- $t=30$ gives us $x_{30}=4\times 1.25^{\large \left(\frac {30}{10}\right)}=7.8125\approx 7.81$.
- $t=40$ gives us $x_{40}=4\times 1.25^{\large \left(\frac {40}{10}\right)}=9.765625\approx 9.77$.
- $t=50$ gives us $x_{50}=4\times 1.25^{\large \left(\frac {50}{10}\right)}=12.2070...\approx 12.21$.
Calculate the size of Bevo's horns.
Put the given value for $t$ in the formula
$x_t=4\times (1+2.5)^{\large \left(\frac t{10}\right)}$.
Have a look at the following example for rounding $2.71828$:
- Look at the third decimal position; e.g. $8$.
- If this is less than $5$ you have to round down.
- Otherwise you have to round up.
For $t=60$:
$x_{60}=4\times 3.5^{\large \left(\frac {60}{10}\right)}=7353.0625...\approx 7353.06$.
To get the values for $x_t$, put each $t$ into the formula $x_t=4\times 3.5^{\left(\frac t{10}\right)}$:
- $t=10$ gives us $x_{10}=4\times 3.5^{\large \left(\frac {10}{10}\right)}=14$.
- $t=20$ gives us $x_{20}=4\times 3.5^{\large \left(\frac {20}{10}\right)}=49$.
- $t=30$ gives us $x_{30}=4\times 3.5^{\large \left(\frac {30}{10}\right)}=171.5$.
- $t=40$ gives us $x_{40}=4\times 3.5^{\large \left(\frac {40}{10}\right)}=600.25$.
- $t=50$ gives us $x_{50}=4\times 3.5^{\large \left(\frac {50}{10}\right)}=2100.875\approx 2100.88$.
Decide if either exponential growth or decay is given.
The factor for exponential decay (or growth) is less than (or greater than) $1$.
If we have a growth of $30\%$, we get the following growth factor: $1+30\%=1+0.3=1.3$.
For all the examples above we have to determine the growth, or decay, factor as well as the original size $x_0$.
Water lilies - an exponential growing process:
- $1+r=1+0.2=1.2$
- $x_0=2$
- $x_t=2\times 1.2^t$, where $t$ stands for the time in months.
- $1-r=1-0.15=0.85$
- $x_0=2$
- $x_t=2\times 0.85^t$, where $t$ stands for the time in years.
- $1-r=1-0.2=0.8$
- $x_0=2$
- $x_t=2\times 0.8^t$, where $t$ stands for the time in $10$ years.
- $1+r=1+1=2$
- $x_0=2$
- $x_t=2\times 2^t$, where $t$ stands for the time in periods.
Establish the formula for Bevo's shrinking horns.
What's the meaning of the terms in the formula?
- $\frac tn$ is the decaying time by one decay factor in days.
- $x_t$ is the size after $t$ days.
- $x_0$ is the original size, the starting size.
Keep in mind that you have to subtract the decay rate from $1$.
Distinguish between the original size, that's the size at the beginning, and the size at $t$, which must be smaller than the original size.
We already know the formula for exponential decay, $x_t=x_0\times (1-r)^{\left(\frac t{10}\right)}$, so all we need to do is put in our known values.
The original size of the horns is 49 feet, so $x_0=49$.
The size at $t$ is unknown.
To get the decay factor we have to subtract the rate $r=0.37$ from $1$ to get $1-0.37=0.63$.
Putting all these values into the exponential decay equation, we get:
$x_t=49\times (1-0.37)^{\left(\frac t{10}\right)}=49\times 0.63^{\left(\frac t{10}\right)}$.
Decide the corresponding exponential function.
Put in the corresponding $x$-value in the respective function equation.
You can find the starting value for each function; i.e. $f(0)$, $g(0)$, and $h(0)$.
Check each point $(x,y)$. It must satisfy either $y=f(x)$, $y=g(x)$, or $y=h(x)$.
To check if any point belongs to a given function, put the $x$ value of the point into the function.
Let's start with $x=0$:
- $f(0)=3\times 1.2^0=3$ $\rightarrow$ $(0,3)$
- $g(0)=4\times 0.9^0=4$ $\rightarrow$ $(0,4)$
- $h(0)=5\times 0.5^0=5$ $\rightarrow$ $(0,5)$
- $f(4)=3\times 1.2^4\approx 6.2$ $\rightarrow$ $(4,6.2)$
- $g(4)=4\times 0.9^4\approx 2.6$ $\rightarrow$ $(4,2.6)$
- $h(4)=5\times 0.5^4\approx 0.3$ $\rightarrow$ $(4,0.3)$

Tayburn works on website for Daisy telecoms group
Tayburn has been appointed to develop and redesign the website for telecoms company Daisy.
The consultancy was appointed in October 2010 following a four-way creative and strategic pitch.
A spokesman for Tayburn says, 'The previous incarnation of the website was looking outdated, and probably not the best fit for the expansions that they're expecting.'
He adds, 'They needed a website where they can bring in other product types and categories quite quickly, so we created an architecture that will allow them to do that.'
Tayburn has been briefed to update Daisy's online brand presence and incorporate a shopping facility, which will allow customers to shop on the site through an enquiry system.
The new site will also include an investor-relations area detailing stakeholder and AIM information as well as regulatory reports.
The look and feel of the site will use Daisy's existing corporate colours and logo, but with a 'polished appearance in line with the online element,' says Tayburn.
The main website's redesign will launch in early February, and the corporate and investors part of the site, which has already launched, will be restyled in line with the main site at the same time.

A quick update for grough readers addicted to the soap opera which continues in Speyside.
Two-timing EJ has welcomed back her old flame Henry and the couple are now nurturing two issues, the fruit of their union, after Henry barbarously kicked VS's clutch out of the family roost.
Yes, the ospreys of Loch Garten continue their saga of love, betrayal, violence and loose morals, with the happier news that rock-steady fish-catcher Henry is installed back in the nest after dashing his love rival's eggs on the ground. Female osprey EJ has now laid two eggs by Henry and observers are hoping a third may be on the way.
Henry had been late returning to his Highland haunt following the long journey from west Africa this spring and the flighty Lothario VS had beaten him to EJ's affections.
But it seems all is well and normal family life is being restored, with the prospect of the patter of tiny talons in the Speyside love nest.
All together now: awwww!

Although the origins of the martial arts are shrouded in mystery, we consider it an undeniable fact that from time immemorial there have been physical conditions involving the use of the hands and feet for the purpose of self-protection. If we are to define these physical actions as "Taekwon- Do", any country might claim credit for inventing Taekwon-Do. There is, however, scant resemblance between Taekwon-Do, as it is practiced today, and the crude forms of unarmed combat developed in the past.
Modern Taekwon-Do differs greatly from other martial arts. In fact, no other martial art is so advanced with regard to the sophistication and effectiveness of its technique or the over-all physical fitness it imparts to its practitioners.
Taekwon-do thus, is the technique of unarmed combat for self-defense that involves the skillful application of techniques that include punching, jumping kicks, blocks, dodges, parrying actions with hands and feet. It is more than a mere physical fighting skill, representing as it does a way of thinking and a pattern of life requiring strict discipline. It is a system of training both the mind and the body in which great emphasis is placed on the development of the trainee's moral character."
Technically, 1955 signalled the beginning of Taekwon-Do as a formally recognized art in Korea. During that year, a special board was formed which included leading master instructors, historians, and prominent leaders of society. A number of names for the new martial art were submitted. On the 11th of April, the board summoned by Gen. Choi Hong Hi, decided on the name of Taekwon-Do which had been submitted by him. This single unified name of Taekwon-Do replaced the different and confusing terms; Dang Soo, Gong Soo, Taek Kyon, Kwon Bup, etc.
In 1959, Taekwon-Do spread beyond its national boundaries. The father of Taekwon-Do and nineteen of his top black belt holders toured the Far East. The tour was a major success, astounding all spectators with the excellence of the Taekwon-Do techniques.
In this year, Choi was elevated to two illustrious posts; President of his newly formed Korea Taekwon-Do Association and deputy commander of the 2nd Army in Tae Gu. In 1965 Ambassador Choi, retired two star general, was appointed by the Government of the Republic of Korea to lead a goodwill mission to West Germany, Italy, Turkey, United-Arab Republic, Malaysia, and Singapore. This trip is significant in that the Ambassador, for the first time in Korean history, declared Taekwon-Do as the national martial art of Korea.
This was the basis not only for establishing Taekwon-Do Associations in these countries but also the formation of the International Taekwon-Do Federation as it is known today. In 1966, the dream of the sickly young student of calligraphy, who rose to Ambassador and the Association President of the most respected martial art in the world came true. On the 22nd of March, the International Taekwon-Do Federation was formed with associations in Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, West Germany, the United States, Turkey, Italy, Arab Republic of Egypt and Korea.
Taekwon-do is a martial art that in "todays" form of self-defense has evolved by combining many different styles of martial arts that existed in Korea over the last 2,000 years and some martial arts styles from countries that surround Korea. Taekwondo incorporates the abrupt linear movements of Karate and the flowing, circular patterns of Kung Fu with native kicking techniques. Over fifty typically Chinese circular hand movements can be identified in modern Taekwondo. A few of the earlier martial arts styles that contributed to Taekwondo are: T'ang-su, Taek Kyon, also known as Subak, Tae Kwon, Kwonpup and Tae Kwonpup. There are also influences from Judo, Karate, and Kung Fu.
In the year 2000 Taekwon-do made its debute as an official Olympic sport.

As part of its commitment to sustainability, the California State University system presented the 11th annual Higher Education Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Best Practice Awards in July. The awards program highlights innovative and effective energy-efficiency projects and sustainable operations at California campuses, to serve as models for staff at other campuses.
Two remarkable LED retrofit projects in SoCal garnered the awards in the Lighting Design/Retrofit category. A complex, light-sucking ceiling at Cal State University Dominguez Hills presented challenges for the Facilities Management Department. And a series of legacy lighting systems in the UC Irvine Student Center required thoughtful application of LED solutions to solve several problems at once.
Taken together, these projects prove that LED has definitely graduated to the next level. Between off-the-shelf solutions and mods, LED lighting can save energy and lift derelict indoor and outdoor spaces into showpieces.
UC Irvine Student Center
Project Manager Joseph Fleshman at UC Irvine conducted a multitenant retrofit at the sprawling Student Center; relighting 90% of the indoor spaces. Some legacy systems from the seventies, eighties and 2000s had been retrofit previously, but there were a substantial number of T12 fluorescents still operating. "This project gave us the opportunity to completely wipe the slate clean of fluorescents," said Fleshman. "By switching to LED technology we get stuff that's longer lasting, better color, better quality of light, less labor costs – generally a better technology." He estimates annual energy savings at 972,000 kWh.
General lighting from entirely new 2X4 recessed troffers, LED basket fixtures, provides better uniformity without the "cave effect." In service areas, surface- and pendant-mounted acrylic wraparounds were retrofit with LED kits (driver with light bars), requiring removal of the lamps and ballasts.
The most-recent addition to the Student Center employed 600 CFL downlights for much of the general lighting. Using off-the-shelf four-pin LED lamps, Fleshman cut energy use 50% to 60% per fixture. "The labor cost is very low," Fleshman said. "Because it uses the existing ballast, it didn't require a wholesale can replacement." He explained that the Student Center had standardized its CFL ballasts, so he knew that if one fixture worked, they would all work. The vertical- and horizontal-lamp downlights were carefully counted, as the LED versions are very different.
The legacy T12 systems were found mostly in concealed indirect lighting in the conference rooms and in shelf lighting at the student store. Fleshman used the same light bar retrofit kit here as in the wraparound fixtures. Not too pretty, but highly effective. "It is a bare lamp installation. By having them hidden you get all this great light output and this great quality light; but it's not glary at all."
The T12 shelf lighting in the bookstore was very poor. "You could have a 2700K next to a 4000K next to a 6000K. Because whatever bulb was in stock over the years, when a bulb went out you'd just replace it. So by doing this LED project we were able to standardize around a single color temperature." The 4000K LEDs provide clean, white light with 90+ CRI. The retail staff, "they're just thrilled. They're telling me, This is the lighting that we should have had all along."
CSU Dominguez Hills
Energy Manager Kenny Seeton at Cal State Dominguez Hills was faced with a thorny lighting challenge of getting light out of a coffered ceiling on the exterior and breezeway spaces of three CSUDH campus buildings. Fluorescent U-lamp fixtures, recessed about 18 inches up into the coffers, provided insufficient lighting, even when they were all working.
"The light was very dark, uneven, and the light didn't really even get to the ground in places," Seeton said. The fluorescent fixture had been retrofitted from T12 to T8, but "it was never bright in any of those areas…. It looked like a big, giant waste of money, but it didn't light up the walkway."
Seeton had looked for a solution for several years, but all vendors had to offer were pendant solutions. "That would just create a bird's nest everywhere that you put one of those. It was never an option." Even newer high-bay solutions would have remained tucked up inside the coffers, wasting light.
Last year, Seeton settled on a relighting solution using a modified, 2X2 LED flat-lens troffer, brought down to the ceiling plane. A wide custom flange seals each fixture into its concrete coffer. There was concern that the new fixture would interrupt the architecture of the ceiling, but mock-ups proved the concept. Painting the flange to match the ceiling smooths the transitions.
Seeton initially envisioned a one-for-one replacement strategy. "We took out a lot and didn't put anything back in. What we found out was that once we brought the lights down to the correct level, we didn't need near as many lights." His original order to replace the fixtures around one building (plus a few extras) wound up covering all three buildings. CSUDH has standardized on 5000K lighting outdoors, and Seeton estimates more than 101,000 kWh annual savings.
"At nighttime it has more light at ground level than there was before, and it uses a lot less electricity," Seeton said. The addition of daylight dimming, occupancy sensors for bi-level dimming and intelligent controls saves even more energy. A centralized energy monitoring and management system reports outages and verified energy saving for the incentive from Southern California Edison.
"There were some areas that were kind of sketchy. One faculty member said that in the whole time he's been here, that one corridor was always kind of scary for students and faculty. And now when you walk in the lights come on, bright white. You feel safe."

Miranda Wright - Director, Little Angel Day School
Choosing a childcare facility is not a task parents take lightly. You are juggling a job or two, attending classes to further your education or other responsibilities that require you to find quality childcare. We are here to take that weight off of your shoulders. Our job is to make you feel confident when you drop your child off at our school. The emotional, social, and physical development of young children has a direct effect on their overall development and the adult they will become. That is why understanding the need to invest in very young children is important to maximize their future wellbeing.
For a childcare provider to be successful they must make the child's learning and development the core focus. Secondly, they need to build positive and respectful relationships with the families. It is so true that it takes a village to raise a child! From the caregivers to the administrators to the state licensing agency, everyone involved in a day care's operation helps shape a child's experience. No job is deemed less important in our facility because of this concept.
For me, childcare is not a side job or a second thought. I went into this business knowing my life would be dedicated to the children and the people supporting them. Hearing the voices of the children and seeing their faces lighting up with excitement each time they learn something new brings boundless joy to me.
Childcare professionals make the children's day worthwhile. We are not simply babysitters, but teachers and providers. We are the ones that kiss the "boo-boos" and bandage the scissor wounds. We sprinkle glitter on the fishy pictures and hand out healthy food. It is our responsibility to put smiles on these children's faces every day, and that is huge!
- Miranda Wright, Director
Although I'm not their mother
I care for them each day,
I cuddle, sing and read to them
And watch as they play.
I see each new accomplishment,
I help them grow and learn.
I understand their language,
I listen with concern.
They come to me for comfort,
And I kiss away their tears.
They proudly show their work to me,
I give the loudest cheers!
No, I'm not their mother,
But my role is just as strong.
I nurture them and keep them safe,
Though maybe not for long.
I know someday the time will come,
When we will have to part.
But I know each child I cared for,
Is forever in my heart.

Everyone has recently been introduced to the sphere famous boxer. George Foreman, who known today for the his amazing invention. InventHelp reviews
Today all one need to do is go to YouTube to uncover George telling them that he develops his programs for inventions with InventHelp. When looking anywhere about developing an idea located on the internet, one found that InventHelp is unquestionably the leader in helping but without the and inventors to transport their products to niche market.
It will make sense, lots of people offer come right up with one ways to make every day occurrences easier always on themselves. A large number of people, does not maybe even consider taking the other step with developing an individuals ideas in to a sellable product. Here creative women and men do no more know tips about how to head out. Let's face it, that it would audio that generating rich by means of these plans may you ought to be rare. But, to these kinds of that may be paying to emotional media which it is extraordinarily clear it sometimes, we hit during the most appropriate idea. Invent Help
The those at InventHelp know the idea taking which next step form great homemade strategy to a fantastic actual product can be an totally awesome challenge. Your current number in obstacles which usually need within order to be traversed can always be terrifying. Where to be next furthermore what possibly to do, to grab your conception produced and as well , then at one's disposal to sell can be confusing. inventhelp caveman commercials
Even if your inspiration is very well thought completly and owners even have definitely developed opportunities and diagrams, you right now may truly know which inturn way if you want to turn. Often the experienced business owners at InventHelp are designed to provide the philosophy person through a course of action to get the commercial resources and manufacturing benefits to get make their product some sort of success.

They be aware of that one individual probably will get bogged done on the inside the lumineux process and simply never build their goal off the exact ground.

The obvious attorney reveals an experienced staff when you need to lead the exact inventor just by the extensive patenting task. Upon typically the completion involved with the patenting process, InventHelp can publish the plans to users specialists what individuals may always interested inside making the product a reality. I would say the thing that a lot of makes this particular so exciting is the idea they are going to really yield this work when some sort of idea and / or product models it past their evaluation review.
Sometimes the many who have been nearby the die can consider a product that is just no longer available and moreover create a better style. This is very much how constantly people appear themselves with an ideal idea. Individual of the biggest hollywood personalities for following a fabulous dream typically is George Foreman. He happened to be already seen as a brand new winning athlete, but he would 't be the actual household name today and if it were not as his commitment to prompt someone else's invention, any kind of grill which usually they acknowledged as after Henry.
This producer helps men or women refine moreover perfect or perhaps vision.

We every single have ever had what i thought was in fact a spectacular take concerned with how to do an issue.

Arriving to the boring small town of Sweet Home, Oregon. Katherine feels trapped in a big white house in the middle of nowhere. Filled with people she's not use to. All the different personalities in one house start to bother her. Feeling claustrophobic and unable to relax, she decides to leave the house, and run to some place she can be alone. After a long time of looking for the perfect place, she finds a beautiful spot under a tree in a lake not too far from the big house. Katherine wonders why a place so enchanting can be so desolated. She begins to visit the lake every day, just to be away from her crazy family for at least a couple hours a day. The lake becomes her hiding spot. Somewhere where she can just be herself. Somewhere where she can relax by doing the little things she loves the most. From reading, to painting, or just by listen to her favorite music without any interruptions. A place where she can cry without anyone hearing her, a place where she can just listen to the sweet sound of silence. Until one day she realizes that she might not be the only one trying to escape reality. After going to the lake one afternoon and meeting Alex, Kathrine has no idea what's about to come next.

A CHRISTMAS STORY By DAVID MITCHELL ------------------------- The year was 1932. The Crydale Orphanage was a grim and forbidding looking building and being late evening the lights were being extinguished one by one by the staff. Outside in the dark and gloomy street a young girl staggered through the snow carrying her new born baby boy. She had left home because her father was a strict disciplinarian and would not hear of the girl's illegitimate baby being brought into his house – it must be remembered, this was 1932 when attitudes were quite different. Her name was Elly, and she was destitute. She was desperately unhappy but her only thoughts were for her tiny baby wrapped warmly against the very cold weather - for this was December and just a few days before Christmas. As she walked along she passed the gaily lit shops displaying colourful Christmas items. Here and there she noticed the Christmas trees with their coloured lights and fleetingly her memory took her back to happier times when she was younger and her father then seemed more tolerant, even kind. In her state of total and forlorn unhappiness the tears rolled down her cheeks and she kissed her small baby thinking all the while how determined she was that his future will be much better than her past. As she drew nearer the orphanage she could see through the large window. No doubt this expansive room was where the orphans gathered each morning. It was empty and dark now. She was thinking deeply about what she proposed to do. Her plan was to leave the baby on the doorstep, ring the bell, and retire to a safe distance where she could not be seen; just so that she could be sure the door was answered and the baby found by the orphanage staff. In her plan, she reasoned that later on, when she was a little older and had perhaps secured a job, and was receiving an income, she could return and re-claim her son. She watched carefully as the front door of the orphanage opened and a young lady bent down and picked up the small baby lying on the doorstep. And so, when Elly was satisfied that her baby was now in good care she withdrew and went on her way, sobbing all the while. This was not at all what she wanted to happen; but in the light of her father's cruel and totally unreasonable attitude she felt no other course was open to her. However, she brightened up a little when thinking that, if good fortune should come her way, it may not be too long before she would be able to return to the orphanage and reclaim her small son to care for him as a loving mother herself. So that was the manner in which little Chris arrived at the orphanage. They decided to call him 'Christopher because it was so close to Christmas. The stern lady in charge of the orphanage, Mrs Briggs, ran the establishment in quite a strict manner but, like a lot of people who seem to be quite fierce in their demeanour, deep down in her heart she was a kindly soul and loved all the children that came under her care – every single one. Quite a number of children were lost to her as a result of adoptions through the years and she was very sad at the loss of each one and was at once sad at the departure of every child - but on the other hand she was glad to see them settled in a happy home. But somehow that never happened to Chris. For some reason that nobody could quite understand he was never selected for adoption. Later the orphanage began a new policy of advertising "HAVE AN ORPHAN FOR CHRISTMAS" and this seemed to be a big success. Some children had even been adopted permanently after being a "Christmas Child". But this was now Christmas 1937. The snow had begun to fall and all of the children had gone to their 'foster parents' for the holiday - but not Chris. He was due to go to a Mr & Mrs Holden but with just over a week to go they advised the orphanage that Mr Holden had been called abroad, and that Mrs Holden would be accompanying him. As they had no idea how long they would be away they said they would have to reluctantly cancel the arrangement for Chris. It was too late then to find another temporary foster parent and so it looked very much as though Chris and Mrs Briggs would be the only inhabitants of the orphanage over the holiday. Mrs Briggs was quite resigned to her task, but she didn't mind at all. She got on very well with Chris and although the resources available to her were meagre she told herself that she must try to make it as nice a Christmas as possible, if only for the sake of little Chris. However, on the day before Christmas Eve Mrs Briggs received a call from the Holdens to say that Mr Holden's mission abroad was accomplished sooner than he had anticipated, that they were now home, and that they would love to have Chris for Christmas after all as originally planned. When little Chris heard this his little face broke into a wide beaming smile. Poor old Mrs Briggs hesitated for just a moment when given the news. She had been looking forward to spending Christmas with just her and Chris. On the the other hand she wanted Chris to have a wonderful Christmas and so she too allowed herself a smile or two, and accepted that she must spend Christmas alone. And so it was that Mr & Mrs Holden collected Chris from the orphanage that very same day and took him to their very handsome home where a beautiful Christmas tree stood in the lounge, fully decorated with lights and ornaments, and with presents spread underneath; a lovely log fire was roaring up the chimney and the atmosphere was very nice, cosy, and very homely. Chris was then introduced to other members of the Holden family. First of all, there was Aunt Emily - a dear old soul who wore her spectacles perched on the end of her nose and seemed to be knitting all the time; she also often appeared to be chatting to herself as some old folk do. Then there was Grandfather Holden who held his hand out for Chris to shake. Chris did so dutifully for all the children at the orphanage were taught good manners. It was a very jolly atmosphere indeed and everyone seemed to be in a good mood – just as Christmas should be. But after a little while Mrs Holden noticed that Chris was looking rather sad and that one or two tears were rolling down his cheeks. "Why Chris my dear" she said "what ever are you crying for ? Aren't you happy to be with us ?" At which the great big tears welled up in his eyes and poor little Chris began to sob. Urged by Mrs Holden to say why he was sad Chris then said "Well Mrs Holden, I am surely very happy to be here with you but I cannot help thinking of poor Mrs Briggs back at the orphanage. She will be all on her own for Christmas now that I have come to you and I am feeling I aught to be there with her to keep her company and make sure she has a nice Christmas too". At this, all the Holden family could not help but remark what a very nice little boy Chris was to be thinking of others at this time. And so the conversation on the subject seemed to wane and die away. But not in Chris's mind. He went to sleep in his room but during the night he tossed and turned for he was still thinking of poor old Mrs Briggs and how very lonely she must be all by herself. The next morning everybody arose from bed. The snow lay crisp and several inches deep. It was a true Christmas scene All were looking forward to the day's festivities. However, Mr Holden seemed to be absent. Chris did ask once "Where is Mr Holden ?" but was told by Mrs Holden "Oh, he has gone on an little errand for me - don't worry, he'll be back quite soon – in time for Christmas Dinner to be sure". But now it was approaching time for the great Christmas Dinner and still Mr Holden had not returned. Mrs Holden had purchased a nice fat turkey and the smells were wafting through from her kitchen and were truly delicious. They were making everyone feel very hungry indeed. But where was Mr Holden ? Well, there was no need to worry for just at that moment the front door opened and in a flurry of snow flakes blown in by the wind there stood Mr Holden - and with him was none other than Mrs Briggs herself ! She had been absolutely thrilled and delighted when Mr Holden telephoned her to extend an invitation to join the Christmas party for she had resigned herself to spending Christmas by herself, as Chris had feared, and wondering what to do ! She had considered her Christmas Dinner but rejected the idea of cooking the turkey she had managed to buy for the occasion. Cooking a turkey for one person would not be sensible she thought. And so she decided she would save the turkey and Christmas Pudding until after the holidays when the children returned. "I'll just manage with a sandwich" she thought to herself. But when Mr Holden phoned to invite her to join the Holden family she accepted very gracefully; however she could not hide her absolute delight and happiness. The Christmas she was not looking forward to at all had now changed for her totally and completely. She was determined to enjoy the occasion together with Chris and the Holdens and appreciated their kindness very much. So little Chris, once he had recovered from the surprise and the great pleasure of seeing that Mrs Briggs had joined them rushed to her and gave her a big hug. They then joined the others and all enjoyed a truly splendid and jolly Christmas dinner - Mrs Holden, a very good cook, did them all proud and there was plenty for everybody. There were Christmas crackers to pull and small gifts inside - there was much laughter as each cracker was pulled. Chris loved everything - especially the Christmas Pudding. After the great dinner it was time to open the presents which still lying at the foot of the Christmas tree. Of course there were gifts for Chris and even a couple for dear Mrs Briggs - Mrs Holden had quietly taken the labels off two of her presents and placed new labels which said "TO DEAR MRS BRIGGS - WE WELCOME YOU TO OUR FAMILY". At this even the stern Mrs Briggs melted and a tear or two could be seen on her cheeks. The Holdens were so taken with Chris, and he with them, that after the holiday was over they offered to accept him on a permanent basis and not too long afterwards, after all the necessary legalities had been completed, Chris went to live at the Holden's home. But he never forgot Mrs Briggs and went to see her periodically at which she was very pleased indeed. But what about the poor mother of Chris - Elly ? Well, after leaving her baby at the orphanage she did manage to obtain a live-in position as a scullery maid with a well-to-do family. She was quite happy there but the position was very poorly paid. There was no absolutely no chance of obtaining her own place to live and try to reclaim her little baby who, of course, had now grown up somewhat. The years passed by but there wasn't a day when she didn't think about her little boy and wondered how he was faring. Sometimes she retraced her steps on that awful day when she left her small son on the doorstep of the orphanage. She wanted to ring the bell and enquire about her baby; but each time she lost her nerve and walked on. And then one day, quite out of the blue, she was informed that her wealthy aunt had passed away and had left her a legacy of £15,000 in her Will. She was totally astounded and not a little surprised because this aunt had not been especially kind to her when it became known she was pregnant and, like her father, treated her with disdain. Maybe in time she relented, changed her mind, and decided to help her niece after all even if her father wouldn't. But most of all Elly was very happy for her first thoughts were that she could now find somewhere to live, reclaim her son, and live happily as a small family. Back then with the average wage around £3-£4 per week one can imagine the value of £15,000 ! Elly felt exceedingly rich. So she made contact with the Orphanage. At first she was rebuffed because the orphanage itself was controlled by a number of regulations - one of these being that they may not reveal the details of any adoption. Mrs Briggs felt exceedingly sorry for Elly and tried to pacify her. But Elly, who rather foolishly had thought that all she need do is to re-claim her son and all would be alright. Elly sought advice and was told the prospects of seeing her son again were bleak. And so Elly returned to the orphanage and threw herself upon the mercy and understanding of Mrs Briggs. Elly pleaded and pleaded with her until something within Mrs Briggs snapped and she just knew at that moment that she would have to help this pathetic young lady. So she went to her desk and wrote a name and address. She then turned to Elly and said "NOW ELLY, YOU KNOW THAT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DIVULGE WHERE YOUR SON IS NOW. I JUST CANNOT DO IT. IT CANNOT BE DONE. BUT SOMETIMES I AM CARELESS AND LEAVE LITTLE PIECES OF PAPER AROUND - her eyes then went to her desk "I REALLY MUST CURE MYSELF OF THIS HABIT" Elly looked up, saw Mrs Brigg's eyes wander to her desk, and gratefully collected the piece of paper on which, of course, was the Holden family's address. She kissed Mrs Briggs before departing and Mrs Briggs advised her to tread very carefully and with understanding. And so Elly contacted the Holdens, and made an appointment to see them - and little Chris. Mr & Mrs Holden were of course shocked to learn of this development for they had cared for Chris just as if he was their own son. He was now attending a very good private school and the Holdens were giving him every chance to progress in life. But they were nice and understanding people and therefore agreed to meet Elly. The reunion between mother and son was a remarkable and heart warming spectacle to behold. Chris was a little reticent and shy at first, but something attracted him towards his mother. He went to her and she placed both arms around him and smothered him with kisses as only a loving Mum can. Pitifully she pleaded with the Holdens to let her have her son back. Chris, of course was quite bewildered about all of this because although he loved his long lost real mother and took to her very naturally, he also loved the Holdens. His poor little mind was in a turmoil and he was very confused. Problems of this kind are extremely difficult to solve at any time but when they occur between nice and understanding people it is often possible to reach a conclusion which is satisfactory to all concerned And so it was that Elly and the Holdens agreed to share the affections of Chris. Elly succeeded to find a small cosy flat quite near to the Holden's place and some of the time Chris went there and some of the time he spent with the Holdens. It was a very happy arrangement and it worked very well with surprisingly few problems. Chris was a studious little boy, did well at school. When he grew up he attended university and chose medicine as his profession. When he qualified as a doctor Elly, the Holdens, and even dear old Mrs Briggs - now rather old and somewhat infirm - were all there to witness his awards. This is just a Christmas story - but we should all try to remember that such problems and situations do occur. That is part of life. But between nice people, who are understanding and are prepared to see the other's point of view there is always a solution to be found - provided the willingness is there to recognise it. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY !

I foiled the terrorists because they'd parked in my parking spot. You may be thinking "huh?" or even "what the Hell?", but it's true. The car blew up because it was in my parking space. I work for a newspaper in the heart of corporate America, and as a corporate American, I am predictably irritable and unhappy on a regular basis. To appease me, the corporate American powers that be assigned me my very own parking space. I suppose they figured having a nameplate in front of a designated square of pavement would keep me from wandering into the office one day hyped up on caffeine and sporting an Uzi like a Gucci bag. And, strangely enough, it had. My coworkers were alive today because of my parking spot. Hell, the building was still standing because of that spot. And then some asshole had to go and ruin it by parking in it. To say I was pissed would be an understatement. I was enraged, hurt, and disillusioned with mankind. Vengeful.
