terminally ill babies mothers explain their bitter experience of traveling abroad to obtain a termination
duel
already know that your baby would be stillborn, Arlette Lyons, a representative for 34 years, sales of Dublin and her husband were surprised to find that it would take a fly to England to terminate her pregnancy.
"Thinking of my other two children, family, baby, continue for 28 weeks was unthinkable. I had shut, telling the children that were horrible, so wear the baby would not an option for us.
"We had the end of March and I guess I could not believe that we had to leave our friends and family, and maternity treatment itself was so fabulous, let support all those who took care of us were behind me all horror.
"The world must know what is happening in Ireland in 2012 and it must stop."
Ruth Bowie, a life of 34 years, pediatric nurse in Dublin, became pregnant in 2009, shortly after her marriage. Its 12-week scan detected a large part of the baby's skull and brain had disappeared and would not ultimately survive. Thirteen weeks pregnant Ruth and her husband went to Birmingham for termination.
"because our flight [home] had to wait 19 hours had nowhere to go [after] so that roamed the streets of Birmingham for about four or five hours. A time considered to go to the movies because it was quiet and dark, but in the end we did not. Went in the center of Birmingham and pottered around. was in pain, I was bleeding and had lost our baby and we all wanted to returning home in his own bed, and that his family and friends around him, but this was not possible. "
As towns near the mines for control of contract workers, rising rents and changes in the economic and social landscape
is still dark on a cold winter morning in central Queensland and a city bus into a large residence cul-de-sac. The bungalows here would not be out of place in a rural version neighboring countries, tall grass frieze ideal for children to play cricket.
But the bus did not come to pick up the kids. He is here to make their workers engaged in the mining town towers and construction.
Denise Robertson has lived here with her husband and three children for a decade. "We came to Moranbah, because it was full of families and children. Every year we had our Christmas barbecues on the street," he said. "It is now full of entrepreneurs, and we know it comes and goes."
September
three-bedroom apartments were built to fly-fly-out (FIFO) or drive-fits (Dido) workers in the mining industry in a single block at the end of the impasse. Five others were approved apartments behind the house of Robertson and there is a demand for another three to be built just opposite.
"Cars come and go so often do not know how many people live in the street, nothing more," said Robertson.
Moranbah, like many towns in the Bowen Basin Queensland is in the grip of the country's mining boom once in a generation. Area, 600 kilometers north of Brisbane and two hours drive from inside the Great Barrier Reef is home to the richest coal reserves in Australia and knows the ups and downs of a growing industry. The mining boom is helping the Australian economy buck global economic problems. However, there are disadvantages as well as local economies flourishing industries tilt and make it much more difficult for other businesses to prosper.
"There is nothing like what we see elsewhere in Moranbah," said demographer Bernard Salt, who recently completed a study area for the local regional council. The city has a population of 8,500 permanent housing. His non-resident FIFO / Didoworkers is estimated that the number of another 6500. Accommodation to house 3,500 workers easier has been adopted, which will be built on the south side of the city.
"These are people like that who are at a turning point," said Salt. "Fear is the resident population increases working in the mining industry, the services of the region will so tense that the city will collapse on itself, "he said.
In the village square, shops closed skyrocketing rents. Some people prefer to manage the return of four hours on the coast to do their weekly grocery because the local supermarket is often confronted with the basics.
In the regional council, the situation is very similar. The number of non-residents is expected to grow 40% over the next year, the mines become operational. Workers are mostly attracted by high wages, currently estimated at more than twice the national average. But mining companies no city can fight to get personal. Roger Ferguson, who runs a motel in Moranbah, said he had to hire three workers from Thailand because he can not get local staff to fill vacancies. "People do not want to work for $ 25 [E 16] once you can earn $ 60-70 an hour to work in the mines," he said.
Moranbah Mayor Anne Baker, said his city is in favor of mining and a large part of its permanent residents in the industry. But he said: "It is difficult to maintain livability in your community if you will be flooded with non-residents."
She cites housing as the main obstacle to family reunification of the city. A four bedroom house in the city often costs A $ 10,000 per month for rent. To purchase would cost about $ 1 million.
"We need more affordable family housing," said Baker, who calls for more investment in infrastructure in the region.
study comes as ministers intend to ask the parents if sexual content must be canceled automatically by the ISP
A study by a computer magazine found that the filtration system that provides Internet pornography TalkTalk, one of the largest Internet service providers could give children access to hard pornography.
The revelation comes as ministers said that parents were asked whether pornography should be automatically canceled computers and smartphones by ISPs.
The study conducted by PC Pro TalkTalk HomeSafe study offered by the filter, which seeks to block content sites pornographic or violent, and possibly social networks. HomeSafe system was supported by Clare Perry, a member of Parliament who supports blocking pornography, and the Sunday Times.
But after turning off the parental control setting in the Google search engine, the investigation showed that they could access the pages of pornographic images using Google Image Search -. Although access to these sites has been blocked
TalkTalk told PC Pro: "We note PC Pro research and analyze the results of the question whether a customer finds a site you think should be blocked can alert us so that we can take measures .. "The company said its HomeSafe filter and is used by 385,000 of its 4 million subscribers.
British industry porn on the Internet is an estimated £ 3 billion per year, but activists say it is too easy for children to access explicit adult content, and called the blocks to systems so that new accounts must choose to access it.
More than 100,000 people have signed up for a campaign, network security, managed by a Christian group, which calls on the government to enact legislation to ensure the ISP filter pornography at the source.
Minister for Children Tim Loughton said the Internet industry needed to raise their game to help families monitor what their children have seen online.
"We have always been clear that it would raise the temperature in the industry, if not fast enough," said Loughton. But bringing in an automatic filter risk "parents asleep in a false sense of security," he said.
"There is no magic solution to solve this problem. No filter can never be 100% foolproof," said Loughton. "There can be no substitute for parents to take responsibility for how, when and where your children use the Internet. Answer lies in finding ways to combine technical solutions to education, better information and if the necessary regulations for the end of the line. "
ten-week consultation will ask parents and businesses for their views on how best to protect children against Internet pornography and other potentially dangerous, such as the provision of information about suicide, anorexia and self-harm or promoting gambling and violence.
Nick Pickles, director of campaign group Big Brother Watch, said: "The consultation seems to exclude a filter across the UK, who campaigned against the measure that the government should not be able control what we see parents online. need more help with installing and using security tools online, but their use and what to avoid access decisions are for the parents. "
The Department of Education (DfE) said it will also seek views on the prevention of sexual grooming online and cyberbullying.

squad members also visit the factory where Oskar Schindler saved Jews from the Krakow ghetto during the Second World War
A group of players from England, headed by the Director, Roy Hodgson, has made an emotional visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau and paid tribute to some 1.3 million people killed in the camp death by the Nazis during the Second World War.
The group was accompanied by former Chelsea manager Avram Grant, who spoke individually with each of the parties, as they were guided by the site, then went to the meeting on furnaces used by the Nazis to burn the dead. "It is very important that you are here," said Grant, whose own family lost 15 members of Auschwitz. "People will see that you came here, and others will follow. Important to talk and spread the message of what happened here."
players - Wayne Rooney, Joe Hart, Phil Jagielka, Leighton Baines, Theo Walcott, Jack Butland and Andy Carroll - were visibly shaken when he shows a lot of shoes for children, medical prostheses, glass house confiscated detained on arrival at the camp, and many of the victims hair.
They read the label luggage labels belonging to Klara Fochtmann, Benjamin Herman Pasternak Eisler Lazaro and two years, Petr, and stood in quiet contemplation as they took the stage. Grant, Hodgson and FA chairman David Bernstein, concluded the visit - organized in collaboration with the Holocaust Educational Trust -. Lighting candles on the trails leading to the area
Rooney said. "It is difficult to understand, so difficult when the number of children's clothing and shoes, it is a sad experience first hand to see to understand, of course. Soccer field in perspective. Never be forgotten. Know that children now days are interested in football players, and if a little more people to understand what happened because we are here today so it must be good. "
A second group of players from England, led by Captain Steven Gerrard has spent time in the enamel and the former munitions factory created by Oskar Schindler, who is credited have saved more than 1,100 Jews from Krakow ghetto by employing them in the ground. "You tend to look back on days like this as much as the same tournament in the years to come," said Joleon Lescott, one of 15 members of the team to visit the factory. "It may take some time to sink in. "
After years working in distribution and advertising, Mike Davies has changed the teaching career. He tells
Emily Drabble
about their teaching style and fascination for children's brains
fact of psychology at the University of Birmingham, but I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life. My final project is about dyslexia and I really enjoyed my stay in the classroom working on this, but at the time I did not think teaching. When I left college, I worked for seven years in John Lewis Partnership. I spent much of my time writing partner newsletter. My manager was a beautiful boy realized he was not what he wanted and he helped me find a job in the Surrey Advertiser and then work in the drafting of a recruitment poster in London.
So I wrote this, but I started to think I wanted to do something more interesting. At the end of the day, all advertising is to sell the desires of others, and finally he began to wear a little thin, a little thinner then.
For my 30 year old was starting to Niggle much. My oldest son started primary school and I remember where are the people? No male teachers in your school. That's when I had my first eureka moment. I rode my bike to the station for my trip to London and I suddenly realized I wanted to be an elementary school teacher.
I thought, and I was right about this, you can be very creative as a teacher. So I quit my part-time job in advertising and very practical in my local primary school. I knew that my colleagues in the agency were waiting for me when I started looking shell shocked, but I was eager to volunteer my days my days rather than professionals.
GTP asked my local school. It was a difficult year, the study of the night and teaching by day. And then I found a job in primary school in Ipswich Gusford. It was incredibly annoying to be responsible for a first class. But I had a great mentor for the first year. Never learn as a teacher - and really what you learn in your training only scratches the surface. Much of what you learn at work, to have someone with experience, patience and understanding as a mentor has been invaluable.
four years, I taught for two years, then transferred to 6 years. This is a year of walnut Sats, the transition to secondary school, adolescence - but years 6s children are very very fussy or too self-conscious and may take a little more than a young student joke - that I love.
who wanted to adopt a light heart to my teaching because I believe that children retain more when they are smiling and happy, so I prefer to teach with fun and humor. It is quite natural for me, since I'm six foot two and never turning containers and small chairs. When I taught in year 4 was still treading the same children. Under 6 are larger targets
taught six years and three years was heartbreaking to leave part-time and not have my own classroom. But I had such a desire to write. A written I did at school that really led me to write my first children's book. Like many schools, we bought all works, but as we are a three form entry in our age group is so great - there was never enough room for everyone. So I was always writing new characters and plots further to give each part -. And people began to say it was more fun than the rest of the show
I knew I wanted to write a book and I wanted to write for children. I thought long and hard about taking a break from teaching and I was lucky that my wife was happy to work full time, so I stopped teaching full time to writing of a book.
I thought a lot about children's brains when I was teaching. Confuses me sometimes I like to teach something to the kids and they totally get it and then a few weeks later, we went back and swear blind that they knew nothing about it. Then he is in his brain and say, "Oh yes, I know." I wanted to explore the brain amazing children. I wanted to help children discover how their brains were incredible. I experimented with all kinds of initiatives and the brain gyms in my classes and some worked very well, if you just give your brain a break, I do not know, but it works.
wanted to give children the opportunity to stop and reflect on what is in your head. Realizing that I could write a book in search of brains of children through the eyes of the head louse bite into a nerve with a direct link to the brain of a child was my second eureka moment. Any thoughts would be great if someone or something that has not yet experienced a brain. I want kids to think: "I exercise my brain and let the dead?" This is what lies behind the writing of my first children's book Thinking ugly.
The disadvantage of education, the truth is that a lot of work. I worked in John Lewis and advertising, but I've never worked harder than teaching. Much of this is a beautiful work. The marking can be fun, you see the lights come on when someone receives something, it's a fantastic job, but there are many admin.
When I was in high school, I did not have computers, our boss had an assistant, but still had time to teach English. This could never happen now. The sad thing is that we teach children not really changed that much. The teachers are always willing embrace and promote the necessary changes and updates. But for me, education should be like running a barge, with slight differences along the way. But as soon as we have a new minister must take the tile, then go left to right in the bank. Captain blames crew and everyone is shaken. This is so frustrating, but it should not be so difficult to keep children learning.
When I was training, I read on a career changer who left shortly after the educational qualification and industry said you'd be fired if you have lost a lot of time. In education, we spend so much time for additional tasks that seem a waste of time. Nobody wants to be the person who is not the production of these tables and the evaluation of children every five minutes. You have to paddle as fast as you can to keep up. During my first four years of teaching, I had to rewrite all my plans in either English or mathematics every year since heard a lot changed. I had to write a completely different framework that takes hours and hours. I could have spent more time improving my lessons do not have to spend as much time management.
seemed to be a full-time teacher is actually a very difficult job to do if you have a young family. You start with the idea that education is very suitable for children, with a little time at the beginning and the end of the day to be with their children and even holidays. But I realized that I have not stopped working. He works evenings and weekends. I think any education secretary rather than jumping up and down on rules must think about what you really need to keep, and needs to have a bonfire admin, but it does not work well a party congress. Parents still think teaching is comfortable, but ask any member of a teacher if it is true. Children are the best. The wonderful feeling of accomplishment when they claim they have bits of writing is nice when the kids go back later and say that you had the best year with you. And staff. The teachers in my school are a strong, dedicated, good character group, determined and paraprofessionals are inspiring.
David Adjaye is the number one in the list of this year's most influential black people in Britain, which began five years ago
would have been skeptical if someone had told me five years ago, when I started working in the Powerlist: the most influential blacks in Britain, three of our releases would be assisted by Prime Minister of the day (twice by Gordon Brown and David Cameron last Thursday). Furthermore, only to be told that lead to the creation of a charity whose leaders are among the tenors of the country in their respective fields.
But he did all this and more, and seems to have taken his own life now. At its launch in 2008, the idea was to show how the success of Black British is not limited to sports and recreation. Black children wanted to find other people -. In the professions and beyond
As Prime Minister writes Powerlist this year: "Never underestimate the power of young models When the performance is like them, who came to. up in the law, business, politics, will think ". I can do it, I can go too far "" That's why we send thousands of copies, most paid by the people on the list, schools
We are also interested in people of other ethnic groups are also aware of the list. Most racism is born of ignorance and contempt. Challenge negative stereotypes can change perceptions. To survive, Powerlist must be dynamic and over the years have found that people more. In 2008, Dr. Mo Ibrahim, the billionaire philanthropist, top of the list when most people had never heard of him. Baroness Scotland, the Attorney General at the time, addressed to the following year and was replaced by two consecutive years Tidjane, CEO of Prudential. This year, David Adjaye, who Obama calls his favorite architect, is number one on the list, selected by a panel of independent judges who work from a definition of influence as "the ability to alter events and change life in a positive way. "
His first post is particularly important because it is essentially a manufacturer and Adjaye Powerlist Foundation, said organization, plans to build a free school to open in 2015. It will be a college level, with special emphasis on leadership, located in the center of London. Its use will be children from disadvantaged backgrounds who have leadership potential that might otherwise untapped. Our mission is to give them a boost in line with our motto: "Sharing success with tomorrow's leaders"
Future? We have already launched a publication called Future Leaders
, which has the best black students and next year we will add a publication on women that love goes a leadership program for young women at the university. It will be interesting to see where we are in the next five years.

Throughout the campaign, Obama played his commitment to education, making extensive use of the reforms introduced in Florida in the middle of the U.S. has increased anxiety in the world
empty shelves stacked in the corridors of the Nap Ford Community School is a reminder of what the teaching of high risk business in Florida has become surplus furniture is all that remains of a school nearby that closed this summer after being described as "F" for two consecutive years.
Jennifer Porter-Smith, director of Nap Ford, need little reminder. His own school was downgraded to an F two years ago.
"It was devastating," he said. "We stopped the team and declared a state means that we do not children - What are we do about it "
For more than a decade, Florida schools were classified from A to F based on the performance and progress of students in reading, writing, math and science exams. Schools Class A or better are rewarded with extra money while schools receiving the lowest score twice in a row closing the face.
is part of a package of reforms put in place by former Governor Jeb Bush, who has become a model for other countries and found an echo in the educational policies of Barack Obama.
The disqualification had a galvanizing effect on school Porter-Smith.
"We became very strategic and very focused," he said. "How can we compare what happens in the classroom with student performance
"We could have valuable lessons plans, but students are to understand what's going on?"
In one year, grade went from an F to an A. The school staff also worked hard two years, says the director, but more focused on preparing for the test in the year they received the top grade.
Since leaving office, Bush has become an advocate for education reform. Creating a non-profit foundation Proft and travel the country to advise Republican politicians
In his speech to the Republican convention, the former governor stressed the progress made by black and Hispanic children in Florida who are now more likely to graduate from high school than their counterparts in other states.
The racial dimension of education reform is important, its supporters often call the "civil rights issue of our generation." An appeal to conservative politicians who need minority voters is clear.
and schools ranking Bush administration includes measures requiring students to pass third reading tests before moving on to the fourth year, the creation of a system of merit pay for teachers and extending parental choice, encouraging the creation of charter schools managed independently.
At school level, the impact of reforms was inevitably messy. Classification of a school has become crucial. Nap Ford is a small primary school - teaching pre-kindergarten to fifth grade -. In a challenging environment, where 98% of students in urban areas are free meals or reduced price, an indicator of poverty
"Because we are a small school, a child may have five or six percentage points," said Porter-Smith. There are 153 children in school, but only two degrees above tests.
There is a high turnover of teachers. In a class of a new teacher left after the first day. This particular class had six teachers in three months.
The director said: ".. Much of the urban community disproportionately learned new teachers, they have a challenge to deal with children in the classroom have many years"
be demoted to the school raises questions about what I was doing. But it has also made life more difficult than drying philanthropic funding.
The director said. "When you have a year in a school receives an F, fundraising becomes more difficult, everyone wants to save someone who is doing well"
turn, it was impossible to pay for a longer school day, which was one of the measures that the school had made to support their students.
A study analyzing the impact of the classification of the school in Florida found to have a negative effect on the number of teachers. Research by economists Li Feng, David Figlio, and Tim Sass said: "The schools that were" shocked "down - and therefore increased pressure to improve lost - more and more teachers quality "
Florida
model is emulated by states across the country, inspiring new law in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Indiana.
Obama praised Bush as a "champion of education reform," and changes in Florida are found in many elements of President Carrera education initiative for signature Top.
Obama initiative is a competition for federal funding to states that adopt changes, including charter schools and performance pay for teachers.
reforms Florida has placed greater pressure on the school system in two ways. Increasing the accountability of schools and teachers, and to give parents more options in your local public school
The state has a tax credit that encourages businesses to sponsor scholarships in private schools for poor families. He also supported the creation of charter schools. There are now over 500 letters in the state, educating nearly 180,000 students in the last school year.
management statutes can not be outsourced, allowing private companies to benefit from the operation of the school of education. One such company, Academica, runs nearly 100 schools in the state.
Michael Kooi, director of school choice in Florida suggests that the letters made a difference, to encourage change in the public system.
"Before the charter school [] had a captive audience and no competition now, let's be realistic," said Kooi. "To keep children improved on the one hand, but also offers more options for kids too.
PM to announce that forcing someone to marry should be banned amid speculation that could lead to prison
The announcement was made this week by David Cameron, if forcing someone to marry should be banned amid speculation that it becomes a crime punishable by up to five years in prison.
Prime Minister said last year he wanted to see forced marriage a criminal offense in itself, described as "little more than slavery" and "bad."
However, his statement was greeted with concern for people who work with victims of forced marriage, that really happened could discourage young women involved in the disclosure of the nature of violence and stress they suffered at the hands of their own families.
query
Interior Ministry, was launched in October, at the request of Cameron trying to "ensure that this does not preclude or prevent them from reporting what happened to them. "Consultation was completed in March and the Prime Minister is to announce the results on Friday with Interior Minister Theresa May.
Since March delicate balance argument has raged in Whitehall about whether it is possible to define and implement a new offense that depend on young women who are ready to provide evidence could send their parents to prison. Those working in the field are also concerned that families find a way around the law by taking the potential victim abroad.
The government has already committed to introducing criminal sanctions for those who violate existing orders to prevent forced marriages. These orders prevent a young person who is forced to marry against their will.
The Interior Ministry says the number of forced marriages is increasing with estimates in the range of 5000-8000 cases per year. The government forced marriage unit revealed earlier this year that the victim of five years became a young and Great Britain was 400 children being helped by the unit last year. Many cases involve families from Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and East Africa.
The condescension of the star couple wanting to engage young people should examine their own prejudices first
Oh happy day, observers of celebrity. Miley Cyrus (19) and her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth Hunger Games star (22) were married, and there's only one thing more exciting than a dog of land devoted to two beautiful young gleamingly with a giant rock an engagement ring the world, and it is possible that everything is going to Worms within 18 months. The gossip website TMZ, anticipation levels are already high. A survey question cover "Good for her" or "Big Mistake", with 65% from the beginning to the fate of the alliance Cyrus-Hemsworth.
Meanwhile, Christian Science Monitor has used the announcement as an opportunity to issue warnings about the longevity of marriages adolescents: "Although several demographic factors that impact first marriage longevity - the education, coexistence and schedule for children - the consensus is that those who marry after 25 years, statistically speaking, are more likely to stay married longer. "Gee, thank you CSM. I bet you're a explosion at the wedding, pick up more than its share of chicken breast and probably executed on the marriage lasted 10 years.
The CSM report is based on a 2001 study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - and to be quite honest, the results are not comforting reading for people like me who are established young (19, still in progress, with strong) plus one woman in marriage, says the summary, that marriage is more likely to last. But while the general trends in marriage does not seem to be a guarantee that the delay of marriage means permanent happiness. Since 1970, the age at first marriage in the UK has increased in the last decade. And since 1970, the divorce rate has also increased.
Now I'm not saying that this shows that the divorce rate has increased
because
age at first marriage has increased. It is a web of relationships disjointed social attitudes, including the overall decline in marriage rates, delivery delays and increased cohabitation. What this means is that anyone who feels like putting the front-and-wise and condescending Cyrus and Hemsworth probably have a little think about their own prejudices against young people.
any point of view, Cyrus is not your girlfriend stereotypical teen. We are not talking about someone who has been dismissed from the university to marry the first ear was done for a burger. It is an international success with his role as Hannah Montana and as a singer in his own right. (. Hemsworth was not too bad for him either) pretty say it'll-never-Lasters, but she is a celebrity mess, condemned to follow the path of Britney sweatpants tragic - another child star Disney has married young. Well, Britney was 22, not a teenager, but she managed to marry twice this year. Unless
Cyrus seems pretty recession-proof: Even though I love you to hate his father Achy Breaky Heart, who has done an excellent job of protecting his daughter from the darkest little celebrity. And as Cyrus Jr is older and started talking to herself she had more things to say about the relationship was very intelligent. Asked on sex talk show last month, Cyrus said. "This is the only way we create, and the only way for the world continues to turn, it is ignorant not to talk to their children about this or [not] make it look like magic or cold because it is really. "I mean I, I knew she was an actress of high caliber screwball comedy (I have a six year old daughter, I had to develop an appreciation of Disney sitcoms), but also a advocate for sex education I am impressed.
What does a young couple as Cyrus and Hemsworth were expected to win anyway? It is true that it might break - but all couples of any age can break. In fact, every relationship is doomed to end - it's just the younger you are, death is less likely to catch it before the divorce. And even if the marriage is not always, this does not mean that it is "no" - better to have 10 years of happiness tighten decades of each other miserable. Cyrus and Hemsworth as, however - close face soft and fresh and natural and the other on the red carpet -. I would bet that they can go through
We are educated to believe in happily ever after, but what if you never find the right one?
Sylvia, 77
used the phrase "Be Lovers" in 1950 - to become someone's lover was a big step, but it is not now. Nowadays, people only sexual encounters . I became in love with a sophisticated lawyer I met on a skiing holiday. When we returned to England, I discovered that he was married, but then I was hooked.
We've been together for 11 years, and once finished, it was too late. Our relationship has ruined my life, because nobody approached what he meant to me. Like why some people and not others? I do not know if this is something that you can put your finger. It's just the chemistry at the end.
have not had a relationship for a long time, so it is a little hard to believe. It would be nice to have someone to hang out with, but men are not very interested in older women. I have a young friend gay -. He is only 28, but he was a great friend

In my 20 years I have lived for several years with a girl who wanted to move, but did not get the wild type sequence in my system. After that, he went crazy and I have since put in place. I have days when I want someone to be there, but about 90% of the time, it still happens. Whenever I have a project on fire. I think this card is just my life, I've never had to deal with another person and do not think I'd be able to do it now There are times when I wonder if I made the right decision - Christmas is painful on your own - but you do not tell me that people in relationships do not feel the same. They can lie and say they are happy, but I'm a therapist, I see people who have been in loveless marriages for 25 years and they are full of stress and illness because they are constantly unhappy. This concept of love that we are exposed to the media is wrong. Are things Hollywood. The only thing I like about being single is that you are always viewed with suspicion. Have you watched The Killing on BBC4? It turns out that the murderer was old bachelor uncle. And you think, thank you very much for this.
Stella, 59
I'm so used to being alone, just thinking about it. One of my oldest friends got married at 21 and still happily married. I remember him saying, "Oh, you were lucky if you married Bruce" and she said, "No, it was not luck." He meant he thought. She knew that it would be a good husband and father, long-term, and it was all these things. But we do not usually think that way when you're young. You go with the heart.
I want to find love. When I'm lying in my bed on Sunday morning with a cup of tea, I think, "Would not it be nice to have someone at your side, someone to discuss the day. "I like to travel and I want someone to do it with. Did not LOVE to be capitalized. Having more intoxicating than lust, which is in the way buddy. 'S more than anything as you age.

I've never been in a long term relationship. No horse scares me in the street, but I do not seek other gays. I came to London when I was 30, thinking I'd have a better chance of meeting someone. I've been here. I think it is more difficult at my age as a gay man, to find love. At 47, you basically do not exist. Gay culture is so focused on youth. It is as if you are fighting against a little competition with fetus in tight shirts and have no chance.
So you think, "Well, that's it then - I'll have to be a little eccentric outsider that everyone loves and is sitting on the floor to eat canned salmon I I can cope with that .. " Then, suddenly, the pole shift. I had no choice when I was little - I would not have dreamed of getting married or having children. This is why our parents were so sad when it came out as gay, and it was not an option. Now people have all gays. They have a joint mortgage, the things that come out of the antique stores and buy beautiful weddings, dinners and campest you have always dreamed of, and you think, "I've missed the boat.'m Not even on the dock " It's horrible, really, at a certain level. It has the feeling of loneliness.

The man who was to marry was killed in a bombing mission during the war. I met Jimmy dance. I was 19 and he was 21. But then it was designed. He used to write every day and tell me where I had been in their missions. Then one day I received a letter from his mother saying he lacked - his plane was shot down. All were killed. He is buried in France. I've been there several times. This is very sad. Finally, his mother wrote and said, "You need to stop grieving, it can not last forever. You need to find someone else. "But nobody came to his level and has been like this all my life.
I always knew I was going to join the army I - I served for 22 years. After that, I went and held the wedding. If I could tell all the places I visited: Jerusalem, Israel, Bangkok, Hong Kong. I even walked around in a cargo Borneo times. I had friends along the way, but Jimmy was the only one.
Five-time world champion in three different boxing weight
Perhaps the largest crowd ever crammed into the York Hall, Bethnal Green, was January 19, 2002, when the nature of man Johnny Tapia fought boxing, at its request, in the East End of sand boxing's most famous London. Officially, the site in 1200, but nobody counted how wangled its way into hundreds best thing to being there. Tapia has destroyed his opponent, Eduardo Alvarez in the first round.
Tapia, who was found dead aged 45, of unknown causes at his home in Albuquerque, New Mexico, had a chaotic life. He referred to cocaine as "my lady", and attributed his brushes with the law many, not to mention several suicide attempts, drug regularly. But at the time he was drug-free, he was charismatic and fun, it was also one of the most prominent fighters of his time, becoming a world champion five times in three different weights.
that last year he was seen in the first line and the construction of the great battles of the United States, working as a reporter for Showtime, the cable network USA. All House meets with his happy-go-lucky attitude, Tapia was full of enthusiasm for his new lifestyle. After traveling to the United States as a commentator for Sky, I found something surreal wondered what he thought of the possible outcome of a competition for a fighter of his stature.
Tapia was born in Albuquerque and grew up believing that his father had been killed in a murder gangs, while his mother, Virginia, was pregnant. So when Johnny was eight years old, his mother was kidnapped, stabbed and seemingly dead. In his autobiography, Mi Vida Loca: The Crazy Life of Johnny Tapia (2006), spoke of how he tried to raise the alarm after being awakened by the cries of his mother, but nobody believed . She was eventually discovered by the police, who took her to the hospital where he died four days later. Tapia was taken later by his grandmother.
began boxing at the age of nine and became an exceptional young man, winning the title twice National Golden Gloves light flyweight in 1983, then in 1985 at flyweight. Boxing was the only thing he said the young man, and had paid his first contest in 1988.
His talent has brought a series of victories, but also the money to buy drugs. He tested positive for cocaine in little more than two years in his career and was banned from the sport. After a break of more than three years, Tapia returned in 1994 and the end of the year was a world champion for the first time when he defeated Henry Martinez to win the World Boxing Organization super flyweight crown. This year, he also married Teresa Chavez, with whom he had three children.
He successfully defended his WBO super flyweight title 13 times, in the process also became the champion of the International Boxing Federation in 1997 when he won a unification bout against another Albuquerque Latin, Danny Romero. You can not make the weight, Tapia went to bantamweight, and after two bouts of overheating became bantamweight champion of the World Boxing Association in 1998, Nana Yaw Konadu when Ghana beat. He lost the title in 1999 and another Paulie Ayala American, but in his next fight defeated Jorge Julio become WBO bantamweight in 2000. Jump to pen in 2002, became a champion for the fifth time when he defeated Manuel Medina of Mexico to win the IBF version of the title.
writer and star of the show drag queen nobody could resist unprecedented
Harvey Fierstein, playwright
soon as I started writing, others left me wanting to act in their shows - maybe they thought I'll write again. So I wrote the first part in Torch Song Trilogy for me, and the next two to continue the characters' lives. The first job is a simple test to fall in love for the first time. The second consists of two couples, one gay, one straight, is a declaration that homosexual and heterosexual relations are exactly the same. The third game features characters that have not evolved because I wanted to but because the outside world crashed in.
They were not written for a heterosexual audience: they relate to people struggling with their sexuality, and heterosexuality is struggling with. And yet, it is critical and gay culture that rejected gay theater, while the heterosexual public accepted. It took me years to find someone to produce them. At first, I could not give tickets away, nobody wanted to sit through a play gay four hours. We were about to close, and then came two criticisms: Mel Gussow Rex Reed Daily News and the New York Times. Both are published raves and suddenly we were a success. We went from the fringe off-Broadway, where tickets were sold as fast as we could print. I accepted an offer to go to Broadway, but only because I do not think I could be on Broadway and was ready to go. I prepared my next move, and I wrote La Cage aux Folles. But the show did not last another four years.
decided to test absent in London to see what the director, Robert Ackerman, had happened. Production was very close to the original, except that New York and West End actors are very different. An English actor has no problem cutting the intestines of someone with a sword, but it has many problems crying to his mother. Antony Sher was beautiful in the show, but one of the notes that I gave was on the scene of the confrontation on the third part. The mother told her son: "If I knew it would be strange not to have bothered to give birth." Not the most horrible thing? But Tony and Miriam Karlin held hands. I said " You're kidding should take knives at loggerheads? ". When I took the role, it was horrible, do not mix with the rest of society - he was exaggerating. I had done for so many years. I did not want to do anything else.
A group of leaders who met "on Twitter have formed a pressure group to get their ideas heard by politicians base
teachers and principals could be forgiven for thinking that the worst of both worlds: the obligation to apply the latest fad Ministerial without having a real influence on policies that directly affect employment, they feel passionately. But could the explosion of social media to change all that?
The saga of GCSE results this summer has caused a torrent of online feedback and communication between teachers and principals. Now a group - mostly high school principals -. Registered through the social network Twitter to form a pressure group embryonic
See the shadow education secretary, Stephen Twigg. Schools may be the opposite in terms of geography and social context, but are united in their opinion that the alternative to the current education policy is needed quickly and that work is the best hope of achieving it.
Education
writer and blogger Ian Gilbert had the idea of ??transforming online activity into something more concrete after reflection on the potential of Twitter for "social outrage" - but also its limits. "It can produce knowledge and find information," he explains. "However, you can also sit in the evening with a glass of wine and tweeting think he did his bit for society.
"I realized that we had to go further and reach people who have something to say. A major theme that comes through social media is a source of frustration with the current policy, but also work without frustration alternative. We want to hear the voices of people who know what they are doing. people who are there for the kids, for good reasons, to discuss what has and has not been good and hit some concrete alternatives. "
The group - which has not yet been named - met in the office of tutor to discuss your ideas. So what is so great about the current situation? Leaders from a mixture of charter schools and universities, which were joined by Dr. Phil Wood School of the University of Leicester in education, citing the focus on disadvantaged students and publication of data more positive developments.
But the positive risk being undermined by political interference too curricula and qualifications, an accountability system focused on a range of increasingly close examination, a permanent division between academic and professional qualifications - Work Tech Bacc attracted derision of these principals as Baccalaureate Certificates Secretary of Education in English -. and moves to a reference standard in the qualifications system that only a fixed number of pupils can achieve some degree
"We're going back to a sheep and goat is a system of stratified society in terms of achievements and potential," said Ros McMullen, director of the David Young Community Academy in Leeds.
"We must be able to measure the improvement, which requires an objective measure, which judges student achievement against a rule set in stone, not one that only allowed a certain percentage students to achieve a certain degree. Individuals should talk. "
clear several themes emerged about an alternative policy could be formed if the work was "brave" enough to establish something profoundly different "instead of dragging in the wake of the Conservatives," said said John Tomsett, a prolific blogger and principal at Huntington York.
the heart must be a politicization of the curriculum and qualifications, an independent education professionals to drive policy in this area, and a radically different approach to the assessment and accountability statements, the leaders agreed. Proposed changes to GCSEs were described as "inadequate preparation for life in the 21st Century" which powers only that Vic Goddard, director of the Academy Passmores in Essex, described as a growing tension between "doing what is good for the school and for our children." "What we do is not always the same as what we have to do. Want a recognition that education is more than five tests. This is the full and entire the rest comes with it. "
A new form of assessment would ensure rigor and high standards, no limits to ambition, but also other non-examination based on measures that offer the opportunity to " success at all levels' - a particular interest in special education, who fear that their children will be "removed before they start," said Dave Whittaker, Director of Special Springwell Barnsley College.
"We need to be able to celebrate success at all levels for students with special educational needs are not left without motivation or aspiration. Would say an overview of achievements that can really show progress over time and context. not just be given to our students EBacc is a report that says "it does not matter, you do not, but please, try again at some point."
One suggestion is to move away from examinations 16 years the IB student profile. "The IB is a highly rated international rating that includes skills and competencies" argued Tomsett. "Our evaluation system must move away from pure and mixed tests in a series of evaluations of personal projects, such monographs, oral skills and exams. The fact that the work can not come as a response to Tech Bacc EBacc simply underlines the rarity of his thought. "
Another was its focus on and Ofsted judgments once instead of supporting the improvement. That is, according to the principals must be sent through the transfer of resources to local associations of school improvement and investment in the professional development of teachers, combined with an annual national liberation all performance data to schools and parents.
"I want to realize on the spot," said Goddard. "We are funded by the state with the most precious resource in the world - our children -., But do not tell me where I'm going wrong, I want people to hold me accountable to be part of the day to make me better. "
These people could be described as part of what is now called the "magic media" in social media. No celebrities or political commentators, but trust experts persuasion with years of experience who blog and Twitter, and have the power to mobilize public opinion. In other areas, companies seeking to attract these people. Regarding the school policy, politicians are Behind? A spokesman Stephen Twigg said he would be willing to meet with the group and presented his ideas as "interesting." Some, including regional versions of Ofsted, the reform of the curriculum and assessment 14-19, already considered by examining labor policies, he said, adding that "we agree that 'there should be a limit artificial lift. "
A primary school teacher tape imagination of Turkey as a starting point for the development of language skills in English
What motivates you? am constantly amazed by the creativity and ingenuity of school children I teach. Watching them absorb a lesson is a constant source of motivation.
best teaching moment? When students began to create their own videos for a class project site. I've had children who have never shown much interest in English before meeting the weekend to record short skits, stories and reports of exercises. Best of all, this has not been done as a project or a reward - I just wanted to make themselves
And the worst? Unfortunately, when working with children, behavior and discipline can be a problem. Most students respond well to classroom management strategies, but occasionally there will be one that does not. I recently found a guy who could turn itself a lesson in chaos. Obviously, there were other factors at play that go beyond the classroom and school, but it was a difficult challenge to keep you busy and teach the rest of the class same time. Ultimately, it took a good part of the year to develop a "working relationship" with him and then summer came and it was no longer my student.
What have you learned?
used to think that young students with tasks that require initiative, creativity and independence. I quickly proved otherwise with some of his wonderfully creative projects and now use the imagination of my students as a starting point for many of our lessons. I can draw and describe images, invent stories, create your own role and basically let their ideas run the lesson.
biggest challenge?
. Much of what I do is designed to get children to use when they speak and write in English, but the fact is that the program is very focused on grammar and grammar is regularly tested in examinations. I am working slowly on the promotion of alternative forms of assessment such as project work and portfolios.
What's next? recently completed a Masters in Educational Technology and TESOL, so I'm looking to build it. I have plans to reform the program by entering the current Web blogs class to help students to contribute more.
Tip?
Be sensitive. Find out what your students are interested in what they need to learn, what they learn and what they mean to leave their lessons and develop from there.
Mayor Anne Baker, said his city is in favor of mining and a large part of its permanent residents in the industry. But he said: "It is difficult to maintain livability in your community if you will be flooded with non-residents."
