A 'dad' is tenth most popular Christmas list request for children with youngsters happy
to forgo the latest iPad, toy or new pet, a survey has found.

When it comes to Christmas, it might be safe to assume children will ask Santa for an
extensive list of toys, games and treats.

But a survey of their typical lists for Father Christmas has shown many have more
 serious concerns, requesting "a dad" instead.

A study of 2,000 British parents found most children will put a new baby brother or
sister at the top of their Christmas list, closely followed by a request far a real-life
reindeer.

A "pet horse" was the third most popular choice, with a "car" making a bizarre entry
 at number four.

Despite their material requests, the tenth most popular Christmas wish on the list was
a "Dad".

The survey, of consumers at Westfield London and Westfield Stratford City, found
children aged three to 12 years also wanted a dog, chocolate and a stick of rock.



Traditional hopes for a white Christmas were represented by a wish for "snow" in
 ninth place, with sensible youngsters also requesting a "house".



Of the top 50 festive requests, 17 related to pets and animals, with some imaginative
children hoping for a donkey, chicken and elephant.



iPhones and iPads also appeared on the list, with some quirky children asking for the
moon, a time machine, a pond cover and beetroot. One child asked for Eva



Longoria and another wanted Harry Styles from One Direction.



A request for a "mum" reached number 23 on the list.

Peatlands play an important role in the biosphere. They interact with fundamental life-support

processes, involving biogeochemical cycling, food-chain support, hydrological dynamics and

water quality, and provide habitats for many characteristic (and some highly adapted) plant and

animal species.



They are associated with some of the world’s least as well as some of its most productive

ecosystems, and they are found from high cold-temperate latitudes to the tropics.





Peatlands or mires are wetland ecosystems that are characterised by the accumulation of organic

matter, which is produced and deposited at a greater rate than it is decomposed, leading to the

formation of peat. The term mire can probably be considered as a slightly wider concept than

peatland, because it encompasses all peat-forming habitats and this feature distinguishes mires

from all other ecosystems.



Over 90% of peatlands are in the temperate and cold belt in the Northern Hemisphere. The

remaining area is concentrated in tropical and sub-tropical latitudes, much of it under forest. So it

can been saying that peat is a previous resources in nowadays.

The 14th International Peat Congress “Peatlands in Balance” provided an excellent opportunity for

600 delegates to discuss current knowledge under ten themes, related to the economic, social and

environmental attributes of peatlands.





The presentations and discussions contributed to a better understanding and awareness of the

values of our tremendous peatland resources worldwide. The Congress provided an opportunity to

dialogue on these challenges ranging from issues related to better growing medium, crops and

trees to global climate change. A clear outcome of this Congress is that while the peat family

shares many common interests, not all values are in balance.





In order to respond to these concerns, IPS commits to:

· strengthening communications to all members and between all interest groups associated

· with the advancement of peatland knowledge and practical cooperation

· a purposeful outreach targeting emerging peatland resource institutions, economic
 development structures and societal bodies from our global community

· a critical review of our internal corporate structure and its ability to meet the collective challenges

· an overview of international conventions related to social, economic and environmental
values affecting peatlands

· providing peatland policies based on scientific knowledge to be used, as appropriate, in
 national and international decision-making





The way forward on these tasks will be an undertaking by the IPS Executive Board over the next

 four years. We will empower our agencies, and call upon our members, to advance the interests

expressed at this Congress in the development of responsible peatland management worldwide.



IPS is grateful for the commitment and the energy of the Swedish National Committee and the

 Congress Organizing Committee, the sponsors and all volunteers in achieving an outstanding

Congress. The balancing of different interests, views and values was enabled in an open and

 stimulating atmosphere. We thank all participants and organizers, once again, on behalf of all

members of the IPS peat family.

This fertilizer exhibit was just finished in the begining of December. And we also took

part in this fair, holding from Dec.2 to Dec.4 . This trade show is mainly related with

agriculture, such as flower, organic rice, fruits as well as fertilizer. While we haven't

met some other organic fertilizer booth this time.







This exhibit is mainly a domestics agricultural fair, but we also received many

international buyers, including Thailand and Korea. After talking with them, they

want to use our organic fertilizer in rice and fungus. As we haven't enough time to get

to know about the requirement, we have appointed that we will make a production

statement for their's specific crops after we came back from Shanghai.







Besides some foreign friends, we collected as many as 100 dealers business cards,

most of them want to use our product in grass, urban landscaping, organic apple,

organic rice and vegtables as well as organic pesticide.







We have decided to go to Shanxi Province to visit one of fertilizer dealers. If possible,
we will invite him to Xi'an, seeing our factory and production equipment.
