"Daily Life in Elizabethan England: Second Edition" offers a fresh look at Elizabethan life from the perspective of the people who actually lived it. With an abundance of updates based on the most current research, this second edition provides an engaging--and sometimes surprising--picture of what it was like to live during this distant time. Readers will learn, for example, that Elizabethans were diligent recyclers, composting kitchen waste and collecting old rags for papermaking. They will discover that Elizabethans averaged less than 2 inches shorter than their modern British counterparts, and, in a surprising echo of our own age, that many Elizabethan city dwellers relied on carryout meals--albeit because they lacked kitchen facilities. What further sets the book apart is its "hands-on" approach to the past with the inclusion of actual music, games, recipes, and clothing patterns based on primary sources.

Cenovus sees possible upside in an economic downturn

In an interview, the company’s chief executive officer said financial turmoil could provide a window to speed ahead.

“We were actually able in 2009 to take advantage of the downturn,” Brian Ferguson said, citing the third phase of Cenovus’s Christina Lake project, in northeastern Alberta, which it completed under budget.

Another slowdown would provide a similar opportunity for the company to move ahead with “less competition for most of what we would be purchasing and investing in, and labour and staff and all those things,” he said.

“If you have the strength to be counter-cyclical, that’s where you can really create additional value for your shareholders.”

Cenovus is pulling in strong profits from its refineries, and says a nearly completed $3.8-billion (U.S.) expansion to its half-owned refinery in Wood River, Ill., stands to add $300-million a year in new cash flow, if current market conditions persist.

Men's Fashion : Staying Warm When It Is Cold Outside | www ...

by Articleranks

A great way to keep warm in the winter months is by adding layers and accessories to fend off the cold. Summer heat sometimes makes it difficult to create a sense of individual style as we try to keep layers to a minimum to keep our body temperatures cool. But the beauty of winter is that you can pile on the layers and this will only add to your sense of style.

The heritage look is all in this winter. Country casuals are plentiful and tweed fabric is used in abundance. As a result Argyle patterns are on the loose and feature on socks and scarves. Introducing this pattern on smaller items of clothing will keep you on trend without dominating your overall look too much. Investing in small items is also a lot easier on your wallet, so you can make a nod to the latest styles without breaking the bank.

Leather is the fabric to pick for gloves this winter season. Duller yet practical colors are the norm where gloves are concerned, and black, tan and gray seem to be favorites this year. Take a look at your current range of jackets and coats and pick a glove color that will compliment. As you will need to invest a bit of money into finding a good quality pair of leather gloves you need to be sure you will get good wear out of them. So choose the color wisely to get maximum use from them and keep your hands warm and snug in the harsh weather....
