Mother’s Day Gift Ideas - WindowBoxes
Filed Under (Investor News) by Admin on 29-04-2009
Apr 29, 2009: We have loving moms. So this year we’re thinking ahead on various gift ideas for Mother’s day. We’d love to surprise them with simple gifts which they’d cherish. For those of us with urban moms who love to do gardening, windowboxes seem to be a great option. Gardening and working with plants are known to promote mental, physical, and emotional health. Our moms could surely do with some good health on all three fronts.
Another cool idea is to introduce them to community gardens, which are open spaces in neighborhoods where people come together to grow plants. Along with nurturing plants most people develop healthy relationships among themselves. And in the process we end up beautifying our environment, nourishing our bodies, and strengthening our communities.

Filed Under (Finance Help) by Admin on 29-04-2009
The Hong Kong equity market has a strong bullish run last month in the first three weeks before a pull back last week. The HSI surged to as high as 15,977.13 points but fell 1,422 points or 8.9 percent to close at 14,555.11 points on Tuesday. On-month, the HSI is up 435 points or 3 per cent. The better-than-expected corporate results in the US have created confidence in the market for investors to continue buying shares. However, trading volume has started to decline slightly compared to the volume in March. Investors are being more cautious because the market has already climbed 24 percent from the low of 12,125.80 points in March.
