Property market: Winning ways to negotiate your cut-price property ...
Three months of falling prices have persuaded many that they must take a slice off their asking price if they really want to sell their home. In its last bulletin on the housing market, published on December 17, the property website Rightmove announced that asking prices had fallen by an average of 3.2 per cent over the month. Of this, it said, 1.1 per cent was attributable to a rush of one- and two-bedroom properties coming on to the market before the requirement to commission a Home Information Pack was extended to all property. .
Combating dry skin during cold months
"Jack Frost nipping at your nose" may be a great line in a song, but the reality does little for your complexion. Add to the frost, blasts of dry, wintry wind, sun exposure and overheated office air and your skin may feel dry and even scaly.
Indeed, millions of people each winter experience redness and uncomfortably dry and itchy skin, says Dr. Rebecca A. Kazin, assistant professor of dermatology and director of the Johns Hopkins Cosmetic Center. And those who already suffer from more serious conditions such as eczema or psoriasis may find that the cold season exacerbates their symptoms.

BA pilot feared the worst as he struggled to land plane
THE pilot of the British Airways aircraft that crash-landed at Heathrow said he feared the flight would end in "catastrophe" as he struggled to cope with a double engine failure just two miles from touchdown. First Officer John Coward, 41, said both engines lost power simultaneously, leaving him with just seconds to bring the aircraft down. He managed to clear the perimeter fence before landing short of the runway with "not just one thud but a series of thuds". Investigators examining the wreckage of flight BA038 are now focusing on the theory that the crash was caused by a failure in the avionics and electronics systems that control the plane’s engines. British Airways is expected to examine the systems of every aircraft in its 43-strong fleet of Boeing 777s, although the Air Accidents Investigations Branch says there is no need to ground the planes at this stage.
