No reason only...

it would be great for all children to have mums and dads who love them and guess it is harder for men to find a role in their children's lives when they are busy as providers, especially if the children may not be theirs. we all struggle but it helps to have a light out there

This is taken from an article written by Rachel Corcoran interviewing 'Seal'. 'How i feel about parenthood'

"People talk about the responsibility of having children in a negative sense - the sacrifices they make and so on. But i see that responsibility as a good thing. It's one of the few things in life that you have to be truly accountable for.....

You have been given the honour of helping to form this little miracle and they take their lead from you. So whether they're physically your child or not is irrelevant. What is relevant is the fact that you're nurturing them and helping them to grow...

The great thing about kids is that they give you permission to do stupid things. They simplify everything too. If you're lucky enough, they allow you to look at the world as they see it - and that's a much more peaceful place than the world we adults live in".

E.On will develop Sussex offshore wind farm togethor with Searoc

The Sussex wind farm will be sited in Zone 6, the “ Hastings ” zone, located off the West Sussex coastline, out to sea off Brighton. The area is 270.2 km2, equivalent to 54,000 football pitches.

It is over 13km from the coast at its closest point and nearly 26km at its furthest. The shallowest parts of the zone at around 19m are of a similar depth to the London Array project awaiting construction in the Thames estuary. The deeper areas of up to 62m are more likely to be avoided, so not all of the zone will used to locate wind turbines.

Jimmy's Global Harvest - Brazil and Australia

Jimmy starts his journey in the giant of South America - Brazil. He discovers how to turn poisoned land into a powerhouse of world food production, joins sugar cane cutters to see how Brazil has replaced half of all its petrol use with biofuel, and finds a way to save Caiman alligators from poachers. In the Amazon, Jimmy meets an unlikely cattle rancher who claims he can save the rainforest.

In Australia, Jimmy learns whether farmers can overcome the global issue of soil salinity.
