Healthy Meals for Kids
Sometimes it seems children simply aren’t interested in the foods that are ‘good for you’ although they’re quite happy to gorge on chocolate and biscuits. The good news is that there’s plenty parents can do to improve nutrition and encourage healthy eating habits in their children – from toddlers to teens.

Most dietary surveys conclude that children and teenagers do not eat enough fresh fruit and vegetables, dairy foods, fish, or lean meat. They have also become less active which, coupled with poor diet, can lead to future health risks. In fact teenage diets seem to fare worst of all – unfortunately at a time when growth spurts and puberty demand increased nutrition.

Online Video Ads gain popularity
Video advertising and research firm eMarketer recently predicted that spending on video adverts could triple in 2007. Although video still only accounts for a small percentage of overall advertising spending, it’s certainly a medium which smart marketers are keen to pursue.

It seems the general public have taken online video media to their hearts, with social networking sites like MySpace and YouTube bringing out the amateur filmmaker in many of us. Indeed it is this acceptance of video media that marketers are keen to exploit. And with such a large audience happy to view video online, the doors are wide open.

Keeping Those New Year Resolutions
Making New Year’s resolutions is easy – sticking to them is another thing altogether. Whether you’ve resolved to lose weight, grow your business, get fitter, or spend more time with the family, what can you do to ensure you stay focused on your goals and don’t let them fall by the wayside by February? Here are a few tips to help you maintain your momentum.

Why do so many New Year’s resolutions fail? One of the biggest reasons is that we simply set ourselves unrealistic targets instead of setting our sights on something that is genuinely achievable. In the same vein, unless you break down your goal into small steps, you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed (“how will I ever lose this 3 stone?” for example).

Charity Pancake Day Race in Staines, 20th Feb

To enable the organisers to put on a good event and raise lots of money, they are seeking both a sponsor for the event as a whole and donors for the three or four prizes that will be offered.

Terminal 5 on Schedule for Next Year
Heathrow Airport’s vast new Terminal 5 is reaching 90% completion and looks all set to open on schedule during March 2008. One of Europe’s largest construction projects, Terminal 5 represents a £4.2 billion investment by the airport’s operator, BAA, and will secure Heathrow’s position as Europe’s leading gateway airport.

Initial plans for a 5th terminal at Heathrow began in 1985 with a final design application being submitted by BAA in February 1993. The public enquiry that followed was the longest in British planning history with the Government finally granting approval late in 2001 for construction to commence the following summer.
