  1. HEEEY there, Prof. Frank Newman. It's good to see you, even if it's via the net. Thank you very much for your book tip. You have no idea how it helped. :-) In fact, I will blog about the book:-) Well, thank you so much for "making us" blog. What a wonderful practice, which also allows one to keep in touch with people. Wish you great soon-to-come holidays.
