My son's success shows why private school IEP mandates are misguided

2 weeks ago | nextstepsblog.org | Keith Jacobs

When our son Keith — affectionately known as “Deuce” — was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder at age 3, we were told he might never speak beyond echolalia (the automatic repetition of words or phrases). Until age 5, echolalia was all we heard. But Deuce found his voice, and with it, a unique way of seeing the world.

Their job is to keep people alive, no matter how dire the conditions. Yet, with hospitals running dry and plunging into darkness, their ability to provide even the most basic care is crumbling.

La inseguridad hídrica constituye ya una crisis para los profesionales de la salud y los pacientes de todo el mundo

El cambio climático nos afecta a todos, pero para los trabajadores de la salud y los cuidados que trabajan duramente en países con estrés energético como Zimbabue, ya constituye una crisis directa e implacable. Aunque muchos pueden adaptarse –pues encuentran formas de refrescar sus hogares, almacenar agua o sobrellevar los apagones–, los profesionales de la salud no pueden permitirse ese lujo. Su trabajo consiste en mantener a la gente con vida, por terribles que sean las condiciones.

Brisbane to Face Another Gribbly Winter

Apr 1, 2024 | viw.com.au | Keith Jacobs

Queensland has experienced another wet, hot summer, and in Brisbane, this means populations of pest species will be booming. For many pests, summer is their most active season. And the hotter it gets, the faster they breed. However, consecutive La Niña weather systems have changed the usual activity of some pests as they respond to the damp conditions. In fact, hot, moist environments are favoured by a variety of pesky pests.
