Primary schools make up nearly 60% of Australian students up to Grade 12. Here are some of the most critical right-brain skills they can learn: Photographic Memory We often use this term to refer…

Celebrities often seem untouchable. We live in a world where enough money can get you out of pretty much any tough situation. However, in recent years, things have been changing. While more people with money and influence are being held accountable for their actions (with a few notable exceptions), the world of sports seems to be in an insulated bubble where the rules really don’t apply. Entertainment Hollywood has seen several giants of the industry watch their careers end over the past few years. Actors Kevin Spacey and Bill Cosby, along with producer Harvey Weinstein, all face charges for various…

There is also access to a huge library at any time. At the same time, many people still prefer paper books and magazines. The reasons are different: someone likes the smell of printing ink, some – the rustle of paper.
