London, November 3 (ANI): Teachers may now spare the rod without the risk of spoiling school children, for foot and head messages may help them control bad behaviour among kids.

A London-based company, Bud-Umbrella, is gearing up to test the alternative therapy in 60 primary and 14 secondary schools to see whether or not it can actually improve unruly children''s behaviour.

Though there is little evidence that such a treatment can improve behaviour, Lambeth Council in south London is said to have decided to spend 90,000 pounds next year on reflexology in the schools.

Bud-Umbrella’s official web site says that reflexology may be beneficial in a number of ways.

Amsterdam - Guarantees for Dutch savings accounts should be lowered, the Dutch banks said in a letter to Dutch Finance Minister Wouter Bos Monday.

Holders of savings accounts at Dutch banks are guaranteed for up to 100,000 euros (128,500 dollars) per person if a bank collapses.

In October, the sum guaranteed under Dutch law was increased for one year from 38,000 euros per account holder.

The Dutch central bank increased the guarantee to boost consumer confidence in the banking system, which reached a low in early October, when the government nationalized the Dutch division of former Belgian-Dutch Fortis bank and the Dutch subsidiary of Iceland's Landsbanki, Icesave, collapsed.

Warsaw - The All Saints' holiday weekend claimed 41 lives, while 533 were injured as 1,416 drivers were pulled over for drunk- driving across Poland, Polish media reported on Monday.

Poles celebrated the Christian holidays of All Saints' Day on Saturday and All Souls' Day on Sunday. Christians traditionally visit the graves of relatives on the two days.

Many visited cemeteries to put candles and flowers on the graves of their loved ones, often travelling for hours and making several stops to visit relatives.

Weekend fog made road conditions worse, police said, and many of the accidents involved drivers breaking the speed limit.
