Presenteeism is not the answer.

Loudness is often celebrated in organisations. Volume is an expectation, a requirement, an appendage to power, a proxy for status, for expertise. For influence.

How often do we celebrate quietness though? How regularly is the quiet work given prominence? When do we appreciate the introverts…

How To Teach Safety And Consent To Special Needs Children Special need individuals are over 7times more likely to be victims of sexual assault. Using visuals to reinforce learning is one way to teach body safety.

What's happening in the sky above Stonehenge? A meteor shower: specifically, the Perseid meteor shower. A few nights ago, after the sky darkened, many images of meteors from this year's Perseids were captured separately and merged into a single frame. Although the meteors all traveled on straight paths, these paths appear slightly curved by the wide-angle lens of the capturing camera. The meteor streaks can all be traced back to a single point on the sky called the radiant, here just off the top of the frame in the constellation of Perseus. The same camera took a deep image of the background sky that brought up the central band of our Milky Way galaxy running nearly vertical through the image center. The featured image was taken from Wiltshire, England, being careful to include, at the bottom, the famous astronomical monument of Stonehenge. Although the Perseids peaked last night, some Perseid meteors should still be visible for a few more nights. Image Credit & Copyright: Josh Dury

CCTV shows pupils abused and locked in padded room - BBC News Police have said staff will not face action over abuse of autistic children shown in videos leaked to the BBC.

Hard watching this on BBC news. Would an increase in the availability of learning disability nurses reduce the amount of times tragic stories are hitting the news? How many times do we need to see the same abuse before we seriously consider the skills in the workforce www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
