Health & Fitness > Autism Living with autism: 7 of 32
How to live with autism when it isn't diagnosed. My son, who is now in his 20s, was diagnosed as having "Learning Difficulties" when he was 3. Later, I learned that he did not have understanding of 2 dimensional vision, never mind 3D, and this was at the age of 10. I researched and realised this was Dyspraxia. He needed to d... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Military (Other) Military accountability: Walter Reed Hospital Scandal: 4 of 18
Whilst I agree it is a scandal that a government is not prepared to take care of its service personnel who have been injured in a war situation, what is becoming clear to me is that NONE of the major powers in the west are interested in the welfare of those who fight on our behalf. The US are treating the military personnel ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US News Media frenzy: The 8-year-old boy who weighs almost 200 pounds: 2 of 9
Obesity has become a serious problem in both the UK and the US. There are many reasons for this, not just one, so we need to stop looking at obesity as being due only to overeating and treating this as an anti-social act. One of the reasons for obesity is not doing enough exercise. In the UK we have limited land, and people ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Economy The government should be held to the same principles of good business management as a publicly held US corporation: 3 of 13
If I thought that publicly held US and other global corporations had good business management principles which went beyond just making as much profit for as little work as possible in any way possible I would agree with the possibility of government holding the present principles of the US conglomerates. But unfortunately, t... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Religious Concepts (Other) Free will versus predestination: 17 of 73
Man has wondered for eons whether or not there is a destiny or is it all down to his own free will. But why must it be an either/or decision? Can it not be both? My own view combines both the finite and infinite and this concept has been shown in what many term a child's toy. For example, if you look at a set of Russian doll... More..
Politics, News & Issues > News Industry The impact of blogs on the news industry: 10 of 40
News media is a reporting form in newspapers, magazines or radio/tv broadcasts, of telling people what is going on in the world, but without personal bias. Journalism covers the same news by reporting on a particular situation but adds the personal bias within the feature article. Gossip is something people do in impulsively... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Today's rap music just too outrageous: 5 of 20
Many people don't have a good singing voice, although they do have a good sense of rhythm. By speaking the words in a rhythmic way a person can express him/herself just as clearly as the person with a good singing voice. All that is required is clarity of speech. It is a pity so many of the people today, who like to speak th... More..

Cloudy urine can mean several things and it is always important to check with a medical practitioner before proscribing yourself medication. However there are one or two things you can learn from the state of the urine which are worth mentioning to the practitioner. Firstly, if it is cloudy, it may be that you are dehydratin... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Politics in Europe UK problems with the EU and its constitution: 1 of 4
There are many problems with the UK and the new EU "constitution". The fact that the new document is now called the Lisbon Treaty is a misnomer as the majority of the original constitution, about which many people within Europe have difficulties accepting, is still within this treaty. There are many things which normally wou... More..
Sciences > Anatomy The causes of developmental disabilities: 1 of 4
What causes developmental disabilities? No-one truly knows, because we don't all call these disabilities by the same names. There are many names for the type of disabilities which are linked with developmental problems. When my son was three he was diagnosed as having developmental delay of a year, and also said to have "lea... More..
