People believe that putting in all the hard work to earn this wealth means it should be spent on enjoyment and making life luxurious. But in practical life this is not true. If you spend all your money without saving for rainy days, you might end up in great trouble. In the short run you might feel happy from all the spending but in the long run saving is the right path to follow. Have you ever thought what might happen if you lost your job tomorrow or God forbid end up in an accident or car crash. Truth is that all our life we encounter various surprises and unforeseen events. And most of the time spending of money in response to them is unavoidable. If you are a saver and have some bucks set aside for such surprises, it will definitely bring about some reduction in the stress and anxiety of not having the money. What is saving? Saving is the collection or accumulation of funds that can be used in the future to gain protection from the harsh adversities of life. Saving in the present can help provide flexibility in financial pressures in the future.

    Introduction Space, the final frontier... to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life, and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. Gene Roddenberry *** The universe is full of surprises! We can find amazing things like galaxies, planets, comets, asteroids, moons, meteorites, and more! One of the strangest objects we can find in space is called a... black hole. Have you ever heard of black holes? What do you know about them? Let's learn more! Black holes are dark areas in space with strong gravity. Not all black holes are black and we cannot see them, but we know they are there. How do we know they exist even though we can't see them? Scientists study the things that happen around a black hole, and that tells them a black hole is there. The force of a black hole is so strong light cannot escape. Do you know what happens to light when it gets near a black hole? Strong gravity pulls light and everything else into the center. It is so strong that nothing escapes the powerful force, and everything falls in! Black holes come in lots of different sizes. Some are big, and some are small. Some black holes are so big; they are called supermassive black holes. That's a big, big hole! Black holes affect not only space but time too. How so? Did you know time changes when you get near a black hole? Yes, it does! This is because of Einstein's theory of relativity. Let's find out how black holes work and what else we can learn about this mysterious force in the universe!

    John Davidson was born at Barrhead, East Renfrewshire on 11th April 1857. In 1862 his family moved to Greenock and there he began his education at Highlanders' Academy. Davidson would now spend many years at school and the beginnings of a career in various industries before gaining employment in various schools. By now literature was a large part of his activities and his first published work was 'Bruce, A Chronicle Play' in 1886. Four other plays quickly followed including the somewhat brilliant pantomimic 'Scaramouch in Naxos' (1889). With his reputation gradually providing an income he was also able to explore his true medium; Verse. 'In a Music Hall and Other Poems' (1891) together with 'Fleet Street Eclogues' (1893) were ample proof that he possessed a quite rare, genuine and distinctive poetic gift. Davidson now turned further and further towards verse. In 1894 he published his most popular volume, 'Ballads and Songs' (1894), and this was followed by a further 'Fleet Street Eclogues' (Second Series) (1896) and by 'New Ballads' (1897) and 'The Last Ballad' (1899). As the new century dawned Davidson was hard at work on a series of 'Testaments', in which he gave definite expression to his philosophy and were published over a seven year period; 'The Testament of a Vivisector' (1901), 'The Testament of a Man Forbid' (1901), 'The Testament of an Empire Builder' (1902), and 'The Testament of John Davidson' (1908). However, on 23rd March 1909, with his finances in ruins, the onset of cancer and profound hopelessness and clinical depression he left his house for the last time. His body was only found on September 18th by some local fishermen.
