Two days to go. Presents? Panic!
Article Abstract:
Research undertaken by Joseph R. Ferrari of the Centre for Life Studies, Cazenovia College, New York, has looked at why some people always leave Christmas shopping to the very last minute. It concluded that some of these people lack faith in their own abilities, and use personal attributes such as lack of energy to account for delaying shopping, while others need the motivation of a very close deadline. For people who are not on a strict budget, shopping at the last minute is not necessarily a problem, as they can afford to shop in expensive stores which stay open late.

Two diamond geezers locked up within a myth
Article Abstract:
Charlie Kray, brother to the twins Reggie and Ronnie who were imprisoned for murder for 30 years in 1968, has a business in Spain. He served seven years in prison until 1976. He has sold several books about the family. They were violent money launderers, but not actually connected with the Mafia. Charlie was a good, semi-legitimate businessman, hampered by his family name. He feels his brothers should be released, as many murderers are released before the full period of time has been served.

Up where the air is ... radical
Article Abstract:
Kite flying can often be a disappointment, as the kite fails to fly properly and arguments break out between those trying to fly it and those watching. However, kite flying by professional teams can be extremely interesting. Kite flying has developed a more positive image recently, and it is now possible to buy a wide range of specialist equipment.
