Private Tutor Organisation, Tutors International, Appoints Head of...

>(PRWEB) March 31, 2012 Private tuition provider, Tutors International (http://www.tutors-international.com), today announced the appointment of a Head of Special Educational Needs, who will provide professional assessment and ongoing support for parents, children and their private tutors. Sonia Aboagye is a qualified Speech & Language Therapist and dyslexia teacher. Sonia comes to Tutors International from Fairley House School, London’s premier establishment for children with specific learning difficulties (SpLD). Prior to that, she worked in the NHS and at a school for children with ADHD. This appointment provides Tutors International with the means to have any student’s developmental progress quickly assessed by a qualified special needs professional, and a plan of action and ongoing support developed between the parents, private tutor and student. Managing Director and Founder of Tutors International, Adam Caller, said, “I’m thrilled that Sonia has agreed to join us and that we can continue to enhance the level of care we provide for our clients and their children.” Tutors International’s existing clients will not be the only ones to benefit from Ms Aboagye’s appointment. “If a care worker suggests to parents that their child may be experiencing learning difficulties, those parents often panic and don’t know where to turn for help,” continues Caller. “Sonia will be able to carry out an assessment immediately, anywhere in the world. Not only is this a great service for worried parents, who otherwise may wait several weeks for an assessment via the usual channels, but it means she can organise the recruitment of a qualified private tutor that is right for that family, can oversee that tutor’s work, and can provide specialist advice and regular follow ups.” Caller is an Education Specialist and has a long background in teaching and home tutoring, and also has received additional training in dyslexia, learning and behavioural problems. Tutors International can provide more information about finding a private tutor for special learning difficulties, such as dyslexia or ADHD, or about qualified assessments for home-schooled children.

Hydroponic Farmer Produces Year-Round Harvest

Mary Ellen Taylor sells her produce at weekend farmers markets near Washington, D.C. The heads of lettuce, still attached to their roots, are popular and she has many repeat customers.

"We can come here year round even in January, February and March. The lettuce is very green and tastes just as good then as it does in summer.”Taylor grows the lettuce and other salad greens on her family farm in Loudoun County, Virginia, about 80 kilometers from Washington. She grows the food plants in a greenhouse, without any soil, on a diet of nutrient-rich water.

It's called hydroponic farming. Although the technique has been around for thousands of years, it has filled a very small niche in modern agriculture, especially in the United States, where large tracts of land and other resources are available.  Taylor harvests 4,000 heads of lettuce weekly in her two hydroponic greenhouses all year round. That's why she named her farm Endless Summer Harvest. She has a dozen part-time employees and frequent visitors from around the world.  “Several weeks ago an investor group from Botswana came to visit with us," Taylor says. "We had farmers from Afghanistan here that were visiting, because this would be an ideal con

The U.S. economy had a net gain of 227,000 jobs in February, while the unemployment rate held steady at 8.3 percent.  Some industry experts say Friday's employment data is the latest in a series of generally upbeat economic reports showing the economy regaining strength and recovering from the worst recession in decades.  But millions of people are still out of work and an economic scholar says the headline unemployment numbers mask some serious continuing problems. Friday's closely-watched report from the Labor Department shows strong job growth in February, and indicates job gains in the prior two months were stronger than first reported.  Altogether it means that U.S. job growth over the past six months is the strongest since 2006, which was before the financial crisis.  Surveys show the improved job situation is giving consumers more confidence that they will have jobs and makes them more likely to purchase appliances, cars or houses, which stimulates the economy -- and further boosts employment.  That is important because consumer demand drives about 70 percent of U.S. economic activity. These job gains are also part of an improving economic picture that is encouraging businesses to begin hiring. Growing business confidence was evident earlier this week in a survey of financial executives across the nation.  Researchers at the American Ins

Foursquare And Glancee Are Cool, But Here’s Why I’m So Excited About Using Highlight At SXSW

The crowds and hype of South By Southwest make the massive Austin tech and media conference the perfect place for launching, well, any sort of app that needs crowds and hype to break out of tech circles and into the mainstream http://www.1256688.com/monster-jam-party-ideas.html. So what can we expect to blow up next week, like Twitter, Foursquare, GroupMe and Beluga have in past years?

Highlight is what I’m placing my bets on — and not for what it is today, but for what it could become. That is, the long-sought replacement for business cards.

The new background location app got my attention at the beginning of February because it made it easy for me to find old friends and meet new ones without the friction of checking in. But some of you are going to prefer Glancee, because it has a tighter privacy focus, a subtle but smart algorithm for matching to nearby friends, and a beautiful design. Other people are likely to just stick to Foursquare — which is killing it these days — or maybe just Facebook Messenger (which Beluga became). Or maybe one of the dozens of other location apps that have their own ideas (or cloned ideas) for how to connect people in close proximity.

Relentless early adopter Robert Scoble has also taken a close look at each, and last weekend declared them the up-and-comers at SXSW this year. I agree — and actually meant to write a post about it, but he beat me to the punch ( for you, Scoble).

In an in-depth article for The Next Web last weekend, he sketched out three key reasons why these apps are special. By having them turned on and running in the background of your phone, they can help you find people to hang out with, learn more about nearby strangers, and tell you when your real friends are near.

All true, but there’s something bigger going on. These apps are enabling types of long-term connections that nothing else has yet, which in some ways is like remote contact sharing service Bump. This vision hasn’t manifest
