Unfortunately, and as I share in my other post I have some experience in this, a parent's consideration of "normal" is not enough. One of the most poignant moments is when a child's behaviour is made fun of in a social e

Out of personal experience, this is the only way to live with it. Otherwise, someone will be unhappy and most probably this one will be a child that has no way to express the immensity of its distress. When we got the diagnosis for our son,

Instead of a simple down-vote, I would appreciate an argument. After all, I am not claiming to be an expert on the subject and I am completely open to being educated about how this measure could work out.

10 years is not a long time in accounting. Just consider the fact that there is no complete theoretical framework behind the IFRS, or any accounting standard for that matter. But there have been multi-dimensional approaches to accounting El

As a Greek, I always admired Zolota's speeches, which are the exercise in reverse. Speeches Two of his speeches in English are considered to be historic and notable because they contained mainly terms of Greek origin. Here are the text
