Tuesday, February 21, 2012. Every Day is a Gift. This post is a tribute to our cousin Anna So, who passed away unexpectedly earlier this week while giving birth to her second child. Just a few hours later, though, another post from Josh, confused, concerned. Anna in emergency surgery, not conscious, baby not breathing. Whaaa? Since then, Facebook has been a boon and a bane. Friends have posted prayers and well wishe.

Record Number of Students for Private Schools in the UK. If there is one area that is not affected by the still rather poor economy in the United Kingdom it is private, independent schools. According to new numbers recently released, fee-paying private schools in the UK are currently seeing record numbers of pupils attending. The annual study conducted by the British Independent Schools Council shows that 517,000 pupils are currently enrolled in more than 1200 independent schools in the UK.
