Great advice from one of the greatest of the US presidents – “Don’t believe everything you read on the Internet”. Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865 by John Wilkes Booth. Apparently, according to Seth Grahame-Smith, he was also a renouned vampire hunter.

GreenFleet & the Hub
Delighted to continue my 10-year association with Greenfleet. Climate change is a huge challenge globally. Greenfleet provides a cost-effective and satisfying way of making a contribution – more native trees, more oxygen, more native insects, more native birds, more native animals, and more jobs – but less carbon dioxide, less erosion, less global warming, and less climate change. What a magnificent result!
Terkel on Work
Work is about a search for daily meaning as well as daily bread, for recognition as well as cash, for astonishment rather than torpor; in short, for a sort of life rather than a Monday through Friday sort of dying. [Louis “Studs” Terkel, American author, historian, actor, and broadcaster]
Noah’s Ark & Life
Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah’s Ark. Don’t miss the boat. Remember that we are all in the same boat. Plan ahead, it wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark. Stay fit – when you’re 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big. Don’t listen to critics – just get on with the job that needs to be done. Build your future on high ground. For safety’s sake, travel in pairs. Speed isn’t always an advantage – the snails were on board with the cheetahs. When you’re stressed, float a while. Remember that the Ark was built by amateurs – the Titanic by professionals! [Anonymous]

Brown on Girls
As countries implementing the UN’s Millennium Development Goals to end poverty are discovering, when the education of girls improves, maternal and infant mortality rates fall, the devastation from diseases from AIDS to tuberculosis is reduced and the employment prospects of young people improve. [Gordon Brown, former UK Prime Minister]
