...though they may hide the shopping bags, well-off parents are also finding their way into discount stores when shopping for their children's everyday wear.

It fits neatly on top of the iPod and costs just $35. Also, it works over several frequencies, the signal never drifts, and it's easy to program...
Among the posters of stylish models on the walls of Michaela Pütz's Bonn hairdressing salon hangs her Meisterbrief - the master craftsman's diploma that all German artisans must acquire before they set up their own businesses. The 40-year-old Pütz got hers 12 years ago, by attending six months of all-day classes on business management and crafts law at a cost of more than €12,000.
