Barmaid Kathryn Broughton Receives Judgment In Harassment Case Over Comments About Her Breats
Life working in the Rutland Arms pub in Sheffield, United Kingdom consisted of repeated comments from club manager Andrew Stephens to barmaid Kathryn Broughton about her small breasts and need to wear a pushup bra, according to a report in the UK Daily Mail. She was told the lingerie item would produce an increase in pub customers and also her tips.
The 21 year old woman quit her job in disgust after tiring of the harassment and abuse. After the final June 2010 incident, she filed suit claiming sexual harassment in the workplace.
In May 2012, an employment judge and hearing panel ruled in her favor, despite Stephens denying any wrongdoing. The judgment against Stephens and the club’s parent company, Reet Ale Pubs, included awards for “Injury to feelings” and a smaller amount for unpaid wages with interest.

Pope John Paul II Exhumed For Beatification
Pope John Paul III’s coffin was removed from St Peter’s Basilica while Vatican officials and the Pope’s closest aides looked on. Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, personal secretary to the late Pope John Paul was among those at the ceremony along with some of the Polish nuns from the papal household.
The coffin is going to be placed on the main alter and a Mass will be said as a beatification is held. For the Catholic Church, this is how a Pope becomes closer to sainthood. It’s a very religious ceremony.
Pope Johh Paul III’s coffin will be viewed by all then it is going to be placed in a crypt beneath an altar close to Michelangelo’s statue.
On the very same day this is to happen, the Feast of Divine Mercy is also going to be held which will make this day even more special. Heads of state and delegates from around the world will attend the beatification.

What Is Beatification? Part of Catholic Process Toward Sainthood
Beatification is official recognition by authorities of the Roman Catholic Church that an individual who has passed away has now entered into heaven and is capable of interceding for individuals still alive on Earth who pray for favors or special requests in the name of the dearly departed.
Beatification is the third of four steps required in order for an individual to become canonized as an official “saint” of the Church. In order to achieve the third step of beatification, an individual must have successfully passed an investigation into their life and be considered a person of heroic virtue or someone who died as a martyr to their faith. One miracle that has occured due to a person praying to the candidate under consideration for sainthood is also a qualification for beatification to occur.
Once an individual has reached the beatification stage of the canonization process, they can be called “Blessed.” The Pope can then declare an individual as “Saint” once a second miracle has occured after beatification.

How Many Friends Does The Average Person Have? New Research Has The Answer
The average person counts about 150 people among their friends, says researcher Robin Dunbar.
He further breaks down this number to include five really close and intimate friends considered part of a person’s “inner circle”, about 10 family members and 35 acquaintances, with 100 additional people who aren’t bosom buddies or on a very intimate level with the person, but characterized as a friend nonetheless. Scientific research has proven that people with friends are much healthier than those who have little social interaction or contact with others. A study of students in the US over a 35 year period also proved that those who enjoyed the most friendships also ended up among the best wage-earners in their careers. Emotionally, the average person can’t really handle the demands of more than half a dozen really close friendships.
Some individuals consider everyone their friend and have a broader definition of what friendship means to them, allowing them to include virtually everyone they don’t consider an enemy.

Who invented Mother’s Day? Began In Ancient Egypt
Through the years, Mother’s Day has been tweaked and changed to fit the needs of millions of women around the globe. Families celebrate the day with gifts, cake, and women are honored during that one special day. How did it begin? Who invented it?
Mother’s Day began in Ancient Egypt when the Egyptians honored the goddess, Isis. The title “Mother of the Pharaoh’s” was given to Isis for she created the beginning of a powerful line of pharaoh’s.
Through the centuries, Mother’s Day has been celebrated in the Catholic Church. The day is celebrated to honor the Mother Church, mother’s in the church, and the Virgin Mary (the mother of Jesus).
In 1870, Julia Ward Howe created a proclamation for all sons of the Civil War. This proclamation explained that they would stop fighting in the war so that other sons could go home to their mother’s as well.

How Many Times Do Babies Smile A Day?
Babies Smile More than Three Times Than Adult Women
Babies smile on average about 200 times per day, more than three times the average of 60 smiles displayed by an adult woman.
But adult men smile less than 10 times per day as smiling is usually more accepted by the culture in women and babies than it is in men since smiling makes a person seem happier and at times more frivolous.
A smile, whether on the face of a child or an adult, is something that benefits not only the person smiling but also the person looking at the smiling face. When a baby smiles, the amount of seratonin, a feel-good chemical, automatically increases in the brain.
But the individual who looks at a smiling baby also experiences a burst of more seratonin in their brain as well, leaving part parties feeling pretty good. Why do babies smile the most? Perhaps it’s because they feel and act more spontaneously than adults who tend to weigh how much emotion they show to others.
