I volunteer at the Rescue mission. What youngman is doing isn't wrong but isn't right either. I've spoken to the people there giving an "addict" that much amount a money so soon is a bad idea. It's the same as giving them the drugs/alcohol and expecting them not to use them. Youngman means no harm but he causing harm with doing that. Also he dosen't always have enough, "first come first serve" is unfair if you are working in the back and can't leave like the rest. I go there weekly, I've seen men come and go, some stay for the recovery some and some quit and go. He should do what saltee said and make them into specific gift cards. No harm is done on both ends.

Voters rally to be heard
The 30 members of the Democratic Party panel deciding the fate of Florida and Michigan's delegates to the nominating convention are being inundated with letters - and messages written on oranges - from party faithful eager for a resolution favorable to their presidential candidate or state.
Florida Demands Representation (FDR) is organizing the orange effort, and estimates more than 1,000 of the citrus fruits have been sent as part of "Project Orange Crush, Put the Squeeze on." The citizen effort - which has its own petition of more than 200,000 signatures, is not affiliated with a campaign.
"When you vote in the United States, your vote should count," said FDR's Jim Hannagan of Palm Harbor, Fla., who declined to say who he voted for Jan. 29. He said many Floridians think this is another example of their votes being "stolen."
"It was quite good, I have a cold and that was nice, but I don't think an orange or even a grapefruit is going to determine how I vote on these things," said Alice Germond, secretary of the Democratic National Committee and a member of the Rules and Bylaws Committee tasked with deciding how to resolve the delegate mess during a May 31 hearing.
Mrs. Germond is neutral in the fight between Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama for the nomination, but activists and bloggers are casting their judgments on the panel members who have picked sides - 13 for Mrs. Clinton and eight for Mr. Obama.
The panel members are hearing from Democrats imploring them to either count the votes or honor the rules and punish the rogue states for jumping the calendar.
Some are telling panel members it is unfair to count the votes because many did not go to the polls in January, choosing to stay home because they were told their votes would not matter. Mrs. Clinton told New Hampshire radio in October when she was the front-runner that the Michigan contest was "not going to count for anything."
Committee members said yesterday they are determined to show independence while crafting a situation that honors the millions who voted and is fair to both candidates. If that remains true during the hearing in Washington, it's a stance that is unlikely to swing the nomination in Mrs. Clinton's favor because Mr. Obama significantly leads her in the overall delegate count.
"It may be that both candidates end up unhappy with our decision, and if that happens it would mean we did the right thing," said Mame Reiley, a DNC member from Virginia who has endorsed the former first lady.
Clinton senior adviser Harold Ickes shrugged off criticism that as a rules and bylaws panel member he voted for the delegate-stripping plan he now wants to revoke, saying he thinks the states have been sufficiently punished.
The campaign's preference is that both delegations should be seated along with all of their delegates, who should all get a full vote, he said.
The Obama campaign has said it is open to compromise. Both camps will be represented at the hearing, and thousands have been making their voices heard.
"I'm getting e-mails, letters and phone calls from people with varying views on the subject, and I've gotten two oranges," said Thomas Hynes, an Illinois lawyer who serves on the panel and backs Mr. Obama. "They said, 'Save our vote.' "
Mr. Hynes said he will be fair and would take every letter into consideration when coming up with a decision next Saturday.
Mrs. Clinton, who won both states in January even as the DNC said the delegates would not be seated during the summer nominating convention, is urging her supporters to sign petitions on behalf of the states.
Ms. Reiley said she believes the Michigan situation - where Mr. Obama's name was not on the ballot but "uncommitted" won 40 percent - is the apple to Florida's orange, so to speak.
She said Florida is a more clear-cut case as an "equal playing field" because turnout was so high and all of the Democrats were on the ballot.
Ms. Reiley has been lobbied by both Clinton and Obama supporters, and gets calls from Obama officials, but she said that on May 31: "My pledge of support to Hillary is secondary to my affiliation as a Democrat."
Mr. Ickes said the stripping of Florida and Michigan's delegates at the time served its purpose since the move was a "very strong signal" about "very severe consequences " that discouraged any other states from breaking the rules, but, "It is now time as practical political people" to honor the votes.
The committee co-chairmen, who did not return calls from The Washington Times, are "conducting informal discussions" with both campaigns, Mr. Ickes said, declining to reveal details of the conversations.
The Obama campaign did not respond to inquiries.
Also yesterday, the Associated Press reported that Mr. Obama is starting to consider vice presidential picks. Jim Johnson, who helped Democratic nominees John Kerry in 2004 and Walter Mondale in 1984, will lead the search.

Golf Hills is a cost-effective and sure bet, even if it doesn't have the cachet of the well-known hotels. The service, safety and cleanliness are especially good and the breakfasts are excellent. I encountered problems with lost luggage by the airline, and the hotel staff sorted this out for me and other guests. It is easy to get about from there, although not in the centre. Overlooking the golf course (from a distance), it is calm and relaxing. If you are interested in pools, keepfit and networking at the bar, this isn't your place. If you want a quiet place, friendly people, where things work, then you will like Golf Hills, Antoinette and her colleagues.

Read the full storyThe publication of thousands of diaries from servicemen who fought in the First World War will enable their voices to heard, Culture Secretary Maria Miller said.
Read: First World War diaries digitised for 'citizen historians'
Speaking ahead of the publication of the extracts today, she said:
The National Archives' digitised First World War unit diaries will allow us to hear the voices of those that sacrificed their lives and is even more poignant now there are no living veterans who can speak directly about the events of the war.
This new online vehicle gives a very public voice to some of these soldiers, through which we will be able to hear their thoughts and feelings.
The online publication of thousands of pages of diary entries from the First World War will allow "allows people across the world to discover daily activities, stories and battles of each unit for themselves", author and military records specialist William Spencer said.
Read: First World War diaries digitised for 'citizen historians'
The diaries are the most popular records from The National Archives' First World War collection and are being digitised as part of the organisation's centenary programme.
Mr Spencer said he hopes the publication of the diaries will enable people to learn more about the First World War, and shed some light on the thoughts and feelings of the men who fought it. He said:
"It's interesting because it's humanising it. War is a de-humanising thing."
Hundreds of thousands of pages of diaries from units from the First World War have been digitised and will be available to read online today.
The National Archives is publishing the first batch of unit diaries from France and Flanders as part of the organisations centenary programme.
The organisation is hoping that "citizen historians" will read the diaries to unearth new discoveries about life at war.
When a six-year-old boy from Dartford decided to test out his new metal detector he could never have imagined what drama it would spark.
Oliver Hudd's parents thought he would perhaps find some scrap metal or maybe even some jewellery or coins.
As Jenny Line reports, they certainly didn't expect him to stumble across a WWI bomb.

ABSTRACT: Mature natural killer (NK) cell neoplasms are classified by the World Health Organization into NK/T cell lymphoma, nasal type (NKTCL), aggressive NK-cell leukemia (ANKCL) and chronic lymphoproliferative disorders of NK-cells, the latter being considered provisionally. NKTCL and ANKCL are rare diseases, with higher prevalence in Asia, Central and South America. Most NKTCL present extranodal, as destructive tumor affecting the nose and upper aerodigestive tract (nasal NKTCL) or any organ or tissue (extranasal NKTCL) whereas ANKCL manifests as a systemic disease with multiorgan involvement and naturally evolutes to death in a few weeks. The histopathological hallmark of these aggressive NK-cell tumors is a polymorphic neoplastic infiltrate with angiocentricity, angiodestruction and tissue necrosis. The tumor cells have cytoplasmatic azurophilic granules and usually show a CD45+bright, CD2+, sCD3-, cytCD3epsilon+, CD56+bright, CD16-/+, cytotoxic granules molecules+ phenotype. T-cell receptor genes are in germ-line configuration. Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) -encoded membrane proteins and early region EBV RNA are usually detected on lymphoma cells, with a pattern suggestive of a latent viral infection type II. Complex chromosomal abnormalities are frequent and loss of chromosomes 6q, 11q, 13q, and 17p are recurrent aberrations. The rarity of the NK-cell tumors limits our ability to standardize the procedures for the diagnosis and clinical management and efforts should be made to encourage multi-institutional registries.Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases 07/2013; 8(1):95. · 4.32 Impact Factor

Hi, I'm trying to execute a class with 2 test methods. In the first method, I'm setting the value of a member variable. In the other method, I'm using that value. However, the 2nd test fails as though the particular member was never set (NullPointerException). Does JUnit reset member variables to null between tests? If so, can I disable it? Could there be any other reason why the 2nd test fails? Regards Ramanand
Re: Member variables set to null between tests?
Posted By: Christopher_Koenigsberg Posted On: Wednesday, February 18, 2004 10:16 AM
That is the whole point of "unit" tests, isn't it? otherwise you wouldn't really be testing #2 as a "unit", if everything wasn't reset first?

Party-goer died after swallowing two spoonfuls of pure caffeine powder - equivalent to 70 cans of Red Bull
The two spoonfuls of caffeine powder ingested by Michael Lee Bedford was equivalent in strength to 70 cans of Red Bull (file picture)
A party-goer died after swallowing two spoonfuls of internet-bought pure caffeine powder with the same strength as 70 cans of Red Bull, an inquest heard yesterday.
Michael Bedford washed the substance down with an energy drink, leaving him with a massive 251mg of caffeine per litre of blood in his system.
He had bought the white powder online for just £3.29 per 100mg.
Despite coming with a warning that only one sixteenth of a teaspoon should be taken Mr Bedford took two full spoons of the powder.
Mr Bedford's friends described how they had been at a party together and one said he had seen him swallow the powder.
Shortly afterwards, he became ill, vomited, began slurring his words before he collapsed.
Mr Bedford, from Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, was taken to the King's Mill Hospital where he later died.
Speaking outside Nottingham Coroners Court yesterday, Mr Bedford's aunt Sue Burton said he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
She said: 'It's legal to take, you can buy it on the internet, there's nothing you can do, we're just so sad he was so young.
'He was in the wrong place at the wrong time, if he had known it was going to kill him he wouldn't have taken it, but it has and there's nothing we can do about that.'
The coroner said the level of caffeine Mr Bedford had taken was 70 times more than usually found in a high energy drink.
Nottingham coroner Dr Nigel Chapman said: 'Caffeine is so freely available on the internet for £3.29 but it's so lethal if taken in the wrong dose and here we see the consequence.
'So many people are upset and distraught by the death of Michael.
'This should serve as a warning that caffeine is so freely available on the internet but so lethal if the wrong dosage is taken.
'It is a tragic accident, not suspicious - he wasn't doing anything wrong, it was just the danger of the dose he took.
'He's left a huge hole in all of your lives from taking something so freely available on the internet.'
Dr Chapman recorded a verdict of accidental death.

The Longest Road ch.30 DeterminedThe Longest Road~Chapter 30. Determined~Temari thought not so long ago that Kankurō was her brother and Gaara was just Gaara. It seemed there was no bond between her and her youngest sibling except for the blood relation. Even if she would be willing - and she definitely wasn't - she couldn't get closer to him. He was just like their father, and she had long since lost any hope to get something more than chiding cold words from the two. They were perfectly fine on their own, each one enclosed within an invisible bubble distorting an image of the outside world. Thankfully, Temari could at least form a bond with Kankurō. Maybe the bond wasn't exactly what she wanted it to be but she was still satisfied with it.Never thinking about her feelings towards Gaara let alone naming them, Temari had been stupefied when she realized she couldn't carry the mission 1023098. It was not about the difference between their powers, at least not entirely. Temari feared Gaara, or rather
The Longest Road ch.29. HelpfulThe Longest Road~Chapter 29. Helpful~There was a long silence in the hut after Matsuri's blunt question. The siblings stared at her in shock, and Temari wondered how come Matsuri managed to guess what they were going to do. Apparently, the girl was quick to perceive, but it was still surprising, to say the least. Temari chastised herself inwardly for giving the unmentionable away. She supposed she had been caught off guard because she didn't try her best to mask the truth with indifference. It was a mistake. Matsuri shouldn't be underestimated, obviously.The siblings' attempt on saving Gaara should be top secret. No one was supposed to know about it. However, Matsuri realized what was on their minds. Moreover, she offered to help. Temari couldn't understand it. She wanted to ask questions but if she did she would only confirm Matsuri's guess. She wondered if it wouldn't be for the best to pretend that Matsuri had been mistaken. Matsuri was supposed to leave the country, after
The Longest Road ch.28 SurprisedThe Longest Road~Chapter 28. Surprised~Matsuri didn't want to wake up. The darkness behind her eyelids was cold but somehow welcome. No violence there, no hurt. Her nightmarish life would be finally over if she only could plunge a little deeper. However, the ultimate relief was another thing she had been denied. Her body was pulling her back, grumbling at her to come back and take care of it. Her mind seemed to be wrapped with thick layers of cotton wool, which were disappearing one by one so she could settle inside her body again.Awakening felt awful. Matsuri's entire body ached like she had been flogged. Curled into a ball, she was closed in some kind of round wooden trunk. She tried to disentangle her legs and arms but it proved to be near impossible since an entire bin she had been locked in was moving up and down in a steady pace. At first, she was too bemused to be scared. Last time she checked she had been in the cave. Paralyzed, she had been lying on the sand while th
The Longest Road ch.27 StupidThe Longest Road~Chapter 27. Stupid~Lying on her back, Matsuri could feel the gusts of wind blowing the sand dust into her face. Unfortunately, she couldn't do anything to shield herself from it. The drug she had imbibed left her without control over her body. After temporary lost of consciousness she had recovered only to find out that the paralysis didn't cease. Defenceless, she lay for what seemed to be years, waiting for Suna ninjas to come and scoop her and the monster's numb bodies to deliver them to the village.She exchanged her life for the monster. Betraying him, she earned the right to be left alone and live in Suna if willing. It wasn't hard decision to make, not even mentioning that she didn't actually have a choice. She would never try to protect the monster or hide him from justice. If she could accomplish freedom in the process, she would gladly reveal every last bit of information on his location, and that was what she exactly did, without a second thought nor
The Longest Road ch.26 CollaborativeThe Longest Road~Chapter 26. Collaborative~The desert's mild shapes were often comforting to Gaara but not this time. For some reason, the turmoil within him wasn't going to stop, even though he was a little tired after pacing around for several hours. Good that Ichibi was relatively quiet at the moment because if he decided to join the last night's strife, the girl would be most likely dead by now. At least Gaara believed it would be so although the doubts still sat at the back of his mind.Ichibi or not, he should have been able to kill the girl. The redhead took his pride in his capacity for murdering anyone he chose without a second thought. Men, women, geezers, children... It didn't quite matter who they were. Well, perhaps he should cross children from the list. They were no fun at all, and it was definitely more fun to wait till they grow up and be at least some challenge. The girl was also such case. In her present state, she could only catch his attention briefly. At
The Longest Road ch.25 AwakeThe Longest Road~Chapter 25. Awake~At first, Matsuri didn't know what happened. She remembered that she had gone to sleep in the evening, only to wake up in the morning with her neck awfully aching and the painful itch upon her skin. She turned her head to the side, groaning when the stiff tendons refused working properly, and the surge of pain pierced through her skull, adding to the migraine lurking at the edge of Matsuri's consciousness. The sound of her own voice was strange, too raspy and low even by an early morning standards, and the girl momentarily considered staying where she was for a time being, and oversleeping what she found to be a muscle fever. Her hand sneaked down to pull at the blanket, and the reality hit her when she found none. The scream got stuck into her ruined windpipe, and she hyperventilated, her eyes snapping here and there to see if the monster was anywhere within her sight. Fortunately, she was alone in the cave and, oddly enough, it terrified he

Southwest wants to buy Frontier Airlines
- Denver Business Journal
Southwest Airlines said Thursday it intends to submit a $113.6 million bid to buy Frontier Airlines, which already has a suitor in Republic Airways.
Indianapolis-based Republic (Nasdaq: RJET) has offered $108.8 million for Denver-based Frontier, which is operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
Frontier flew about 10 flights, about a 3 percent share, out of Kansas City International Airport before the carrier filed for bankruptcy in April 2008. A day after announcing its bid for Frontier, Republic said it would buy Midwest Airlines, which has about a 6 percent share at KCI and occupies three gates.
Southwest's bid for Frontier comes before an Aug. 10 deadline for other companies to submit nonbinding bid proposals to acquire the troubled carrier.
Southwest said the purchase of Frontier Airlines would expand the company's network, possibly add jobs and boost competition in areas.
On July 13, a bankruptcy court judge agreed to Republic's offer to buy Frontier and subsidiary Lynx Aviation. The deal hinges on getting a better offer. Initial bids are due to the court by Aug. 3, with the final proposal required a week later.

A Fortrose resident concerned with glass litter on Fortrose beach is glad more is being done to raise awareness of the issue.
Wendy Baker presented glass shards that she had collected off the beach to councillors at an Environment Southland meeting last week.
Environment Southland environment management director Warren Tuckey said the problem was caused by old glass being exposed in the sand at low tide, while some of the old glass came from the sand banks.
Environment Southland would draft a sign, with the help of Miss Baker, the Southland District Council and the Southern District Health Board, to alert people to broken glass on the beach, he said.
Miss Baker had been encouraged to start a coast care group that the regional council would fund up to $500 a year.
The regional council also offered funding for beach cleanups, which Miss Baker could apply for early next year, Mr Tuckey said.
Miss Baker said it was good to see Environment Southland and the Southland District Council were being proactive.
"It's just helping people be aware.
"It's helping with safety and it's helping the environment," she said.
A coast care group had been cleaning glass in the area for several years but had not applied for funding from Environment Southland.

On Sunday night, after a 2-2 draw with Adelaide United, Ricki Herbert was bullish about the future of the Wellington Phoenix and the possibility of a late playoff push.
Yet apparently he woke up on Monday morning, wandered into the Phoenix offices, and tendered his resignation to the board.
What had changed overnight?
"I think the result on Sunday was certainly very positive for the club and certainly the direction we want to go in," said Phoenix general manager David Dome, who denied Herbert was about to be sacked if he didn't walk the plank.
"But there's no doubt that Ricki's probably been thinking about this for a while.
"When he woke up on Monday morning he probably thought, yeah . . . I don't know, we're not saying too much about what Ricki's thinking but certainly I think he's been thinking about it for a while and the time to move on is probably right for him.
"I think Ricki certainly felt the pressure of results over the last couple of weeks and he's wanted to concentrate on the All Whites campaign."
Regardless of the details, Herbert's resignation is the right thing for the club.
Fewer than 5000 people turned up to Westpac Stadium on Sunday, highlighting a Phoenix season that had veered dramatically off the rails.
Herbert and Terry Serepisos built the club from the ground up but after six years at the helm the on-field product had become stale.
Bottom of the A-League, and suffering 7-1 and 5-0 thrashings, was simply not good enough for a squad on paper considered to be the best in the club's history.
After three years of qualifying for the generous top-six playoffs, the reasons for the sudden decline this season are complex.
In part Herbert had run out of ideas and taken a squad built on All Whites veterans as far as he could.
The club's desire for a more attractive playing style didn't help his cause and he became confused and torn between chasing style points and actual ones.
Juggling twin coaching hats at the Phoenix and All Whites was also allowed to continue for too long.
It was impossible to do justice to both jobs and, with World Cup qualification games to prepare for, Herbert's move to a "football technical adviser" role at the Phoenix allows him to dedicate more time to the national cause.
The Phoenix, meanwhile, have a game to play against the Newcastle Jets tonight.
Caretaker coach Chris Greenacre refuses to give up on the finals.
"We just said, 'Guys, the next six weeks you've got to eat, breathe and sleep this football club,' " Greenacre said.
" 'That's all that matters, other than your families this is the most important thing in your lives.'
"And we'll be giving everything we can to make sure that this club is in the playoffs at the end of the season."
What: A-League, Phoenix v Newcastle
Where: Westpac Stadium, Wellington
When: 7pm tonight
TV: Live on Sky Sport 3
TAB: Phoenix $2.10, Newcastle $3.30, Draw $3.30

Climate change research gets petascale supercomputer
1.5-petaflop IBM Yellowstone system runs 72,288 Intel Xeon cores
Computerworld - Scientists studying Earth system processes, including climate change, are now working with one of the largest supercomputers on the planet.
The National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) has begun using a 1.5 petaflop IBM system, called Yellowstone, that is among the top 20 supercomputers in the world, at least until the global rankings are updated next month.
For NCAR researchers it is an enormous leap in compute capability -- a roughly 30 times improvement over its existing 77 teraflop supercomputer. Yellowstone is a 1,500 teraflops system capable of 1.5 quadrillion calculations per second.
The NCAR-Wyoming Supercomputing Center in Cheyenne, where this system is housed, says that with Yellowstone, it now has "the world's most powerful supercomputer dedicated to geosciences."
Along with climate change, this supercomputer will be used on a number of geoscience research issues, including the study of severe weather, oceanography, air quality, geomagnetic storms, earthquakes and tsunamis, wildfires, subsurface water and energy resources.
The supercomputer gives researchers new capabilities. They can run more experiments with increased complexity and at a higher resolution, according to interviews with researchers.
Scientists will be able to use the supercomputer to model the regional impacts of climate change. A model that is 100 km (62 miles) is considered coarse because the grid covers a large distance. But this new system may be able to reduce resolution to as much as 10 km (6.2 miles), giving scientists the ability to examine climate impacts in greater detail.
People "want to know what [climate change] is going to do to precipitation in Spain or in Kansas," said Rich Loft, the director of technology development at the center.
Loft said they plan to give 11 research projects first crack at the machine "to try to do some breakthrough science straight away and try to shake the machine."
"We want to see what happens when users beat on it instead of just doing acceptance testing," said Loft.
Yellowstone is running in a new $70 million data center. The value of the supercomputer contract was put at $25 million to $35 million. It has 100 racks, with 72,288 compute cores from Intel Sandy Bridge processors.
Scientists have been able to run some of their work on larger systems at other facilities, but they are competing for time with other sciences.
Among the scientists who will be using the NCAR system, is Marika Holland, whose research includes studying climate change in the polar region. The earlier systems are running models at "more of an approximation than we would like," she said.
Similar to understanding precipitation in temperate regions, Holland said the higher resolutions enabled by this new system will allow them to look explicitly at the influence of storms on Arctic Sea ice, as well as ice reductions along the coast and coastal erosion.
The Arctic Sea ice set a new minimum this year, 300,000 square miles less than the previous satellite record in September 2007, of 1.61 million square miles, according to NASA last month.
The loss of sea ice covering during the summer, as well as over the last several years, "has been pretty extreme and more extreme than most of our climate models predict," said Holland.
The work accomplished by scientists through observation, theoretical studies and other scientific efforts builds knowledge that is incorporated into computer models, which then become better predictive tools, said Holland.
There is a lot of understanding and fundamental research that needs to go on, said Holland, "but we also need bigger computers."

Boys and girls of all ages, here is some festive poetic verse I know we all have stored in our memory banks. So, feel free to recite along:
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
gave the luster of mid-day to objects below.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer.
With a little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be Generous Pho Pho...
Generous Pho Pho?
Say what? Who — or what — the heck is Generous Pho Pho? (Is it pronounced "Foo Foo?" "Pa-ho Pa-ho?" Or what?) And I think 99.93 percent of us realize that last line should be: "I knew in a moment it must be Saint Nick."
Well, if you were a young'un in Burma, all giddy about the impending arrival of Christmas, Generous Pho Pho is one of the names you'd use when referring to that little ol' driver. To the Burmese, there are three accepted names for the nation's Santa Claus figure: Generous Pho Pho, Magi or Santa Claus.
Nobody in history has logged more frequent flyer mileage than the gift-giver Americans call Santa Claus, St. Nicholas and Kris Kringle. Having a major holiday at this time of year is almost as ancient as humanity itself, and some form of Santa has been around throughout.
It all began back in antiquity, as a way to acknowledge the winter solstice.
And the winter solstice needed acknowledgment. December 21st, a day modern humans have assigned to the beginning of the winter solstice, was a bewildering and frightening experience for early humanoids.
If you lived south of the equator, Dec. 21 was the longest day of the year, which was pretty confusing for your internal clock. If you lived north of the equator, the winter solstice was the longest night of the year, and the thought that the sun might never return scared the bejeebers out of you.
The way I figure it, a group of ancient intellectuals got together and concluded: "This winter solstice thingie throws everybody off their feet. So, let's make it less mysterious by throwing a big party. We'll invent wassail and fruitcake and have a joyous celebration. Everybody can give gifts to their family, friends and those less fortunate, which will stimulate the economy by creating jobs at exchange windows in shopping malls. Plus, we can invent the credit card."
Buoyed by foresight, imagination and wassail, these thoughtful ancients also realized the masses would have an easier time relating to the gift-giving idea if the concept was humanized.
Thus was born the figure of the winter gift-giver, whose many names now include Grandfather Frost, Pere Noel, Wotan, Sinterklass, Santa Claus and Ron Popiel.
Winter solstice celebrations were too debauched for early Christians. In the fourth and fifth centuries A.D., they decided to tame things down, stress the message of giving and infuse a deeper spiritual meaning in the holiday by declaring Dec. 25 as the day Christ was born.
The holiday became Christmas, and the gift-giver took on names like St. Nicholas, Father Christmas and Christkindl. On the isle of Cyprus, the figure is St. Basil, whose greatest gift was pesto sauce — I think.
In Brazil, the gift-giver is Papai Noel. The Danes have Julemand. Kids in Sri Lanka await a visit from Natal Seeya. Little Mongolians write letters to Tsai Sen Yeh. In the Czech Republic, the children are nestled all snug in their beds, with visions of Svaty Miklas dancing in their heads.
Some of the gift-giver figures are secular, some have religious derivation, but here in the 21st century, a form of Santa Claus exists in at least 65 countries.
No matter what you call him, that jolly ol' elf really gets around. And because he does, the world is a better place.
Whatever you call him, Santa is loved by all
