All in a Day is a 1986 children's picture book by Mitsumasa Anno. It features illustrations by Anno and several other internationally known illustrators: Eric Carle, Raymond Briggs, Nicolai Ye. Popov, Akiko Hayashi, Gian Calvi, Leo and Diane Dillon, Zhu Chengliang and Ron Brooks.
Ten artists illustrate the simultaneous moments on January 1 in the lives of children in nine locations on Earth. Information about planetary rotation, world time zones and seasons follows the inviting full-colour wordless picture vignettes.
The inspiration for this book arose when Anno was overwhelmed by the sunset on earth at Uskudar in Istanbul. Anno then realized that the sun which was just setting in front of him was at the very same time, a rising sun in some other country. This meant that this same sun was going down in a country at war and at that same time, it was rising in a country at peace.
School Library Journal said it was "a great success at conveying the warmth, richness, and variety of people" and Booklist noted that it "promotes peace and mutual understanding among children around the world."
Pension tax simplification, often simply referred to as "pension simplification" and taking effect from A-day on 6 April 2006 was a policy announced in 2004 by the Labour government to rationalise the British tax system as applied to pension schemes. The aim was to reduce the complicated patchwork of legislation built-up by successive administrations which were seen as acting as a barrier to the public when considering retirement planning. The government wanted to encourage retirement provision by simplifying the previous eight tax regimes into one single regime for all individual and occupational pensions.
Broadly the new regime allows considerable freedom in the tax relievable contributions that may be made to pension schemes, and the assets in which they may be invested. It also however caps the size of tax favoured pension fund that may be accumulated by an individual. This 'lifetime allowance' was set at £1.6M for 2007–08. Funds accumulated in excess of the lifetime allowance are subject to a tax charge of 55%. Transitional protection provisions were made for individuals who had already accumulated pension funds in excess of this amount.

All in a day, she saw the face in the mirror lie
To her dismay, she saw the child that was in her die
And she cried... overnight
'Cos what she sees... she doesn't like
I'm twisting (twisting..., twisting...)
I'm turning (turning..., turning...)
I'm aching (aching..., aching...)
And it's burning
In one day..., in one day
Just let me float, just let me drift on by (just let me drift on by...)
No more, no pain
I don't have tears to cry (tears to cry...)
I'm twisting (twisting..., twisting...)
I'm turning (turning..., turning...)
I'm aching (aching..., aching...)
And it's burning
In one day
In one day
In one day
I'm twisting, I'm turning
In one day...
In one day (in one day...)
In one day
