England’s teachers among the best paid for fewest hours in Europe


I am not qualified to talk about Pay for Teachers, but pay is but one aspect of the strike action, for there are others.

Signs of Autism in Infants and Children – Autism Parenting Magazine


Early signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can be detected in infants, yet many children with autism do not receive a diagnosis until the ages of two or three. While not every autistic baby is able to be diagnosed as an infant, there are many benefits to receiving a diagnosis before reaching preschool age. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) an autism diagnosis can be appropriately given at the age of 18 months or even sooner for some babies.

Hillary Clinton wishes to stop all Wild Life Crime


Hillary Clinton Helping to stop Wild Life Crime

Here we have Hillary Clinton the USA Secretary of State supporting the WWF campaign on Wild Life Crime.

A great ally in herself with the USA behind her, this is a commitment that should be undertaken by the world at large, countries as well individuals in each country.

For one reason or another the human species has taken control of the worlds resources for its own ends and if taken to its extremes could eventually lead to the total extinction of all living matter, humans , animals, vegetation, etc.

Any use of a resource will have some effect on other resources, some good, some bad, some seen, in effect, immediately, some only after many years, possibly many generation hence.

Resources are important to all, not only humans.
