There is a very interesting article in this month's The Oldie Magazine (I'm a Youngie actually
but they let me read it!)
This article is about the marvellous beaver and how they are the most accomplished engineers of
the animal kingdom.
Not only do they build impressive dams which can be 8 foot high and three hundred feet in
length they also know to build a secondary dam. This second dam is build downstream to catch
the overflow which creates a pond which counterbalances the downward pressure on the first
dam. Then a third dam is build upstream to prevent a sudden rush of water following a sudden
downpour. Brilliant.
However their numbers are being decimated* by trappers.
So this lovely creatury is being sacrificed so that their pelts can be used as a fashion accessory.
Sick or what?Thought for today: Are we humans any better than other animals?
* Decimated. I was once told off for using this term in a report by my then managing director. He wrote that it meant reduced by or to ten. Actually according to the dictionary I could use it in the context I was describing!
Joke for today:- In his spare time my granddad races pigeons. I don't know wht as he never beats them.

schadenfreude
There was great merriment in the Daily Express yesterday as even? the Germans fell foul of the
wintry weather.
It is interesting how we stereotype people and countries. Germany has this reputation for being very efficient.
I'm sure in lots of ways they are but having worked for a German company for 14 years I found
that this reputation was a complete myth. The things that went wrong were just as numerous as
in the UK and I suspect many other countries as well.
Still I'm still working on my internet business www.johnbeaumontcashmachine.com/bootcamp
to make it as efficient as possible!!
Thought for today. Are you as efficient as you can be?
Joke for today:- I had a ploughman's lunch yesterday then he punched me.

The Law of Attraction
Hi there,
I'm very interested in the Law of Attraction which I first heard of when watching The Secret video. (If you haven't seen that video or read the book then you should!)
Anyrate I digress.
Last night I heard a talk which was by a religious leader but struck a chord with me because of my understanding of the Law of Attraction.
This young man explained that back in the year 2000 he was invited to go to Sydney,
Australia as a volunteer to help at the Olympic Games. As he was a student at the
time and the prices of air tickets way out of his price range he replied that he
wouldn't be able to go. Even so he had really set his heart on going.The person
inviting him told him to leave it a week and they would talk again.During that week
this gentleman had to fly back to his university. To cut a long story short his
plane got into trouble and had to crash land.
As a result of that terrifying experience he was given a free ticket by the airline.
This ticket enabled him to fly anywhere in the world. So guess where he went?
Just goes to show that if you have faith then a way will be provided although maybe
not quite in the way you expect!
Joke for today:- If a pig loses his voice is he gruntled?
On this day:- 15th December
In 1791 US Bill of Rights ratified by states.
In 1890 Chief Sitting Bull was shot dead.
In 1966 Walt Disney died.
