Are we surprised about the rising cost of childcare year on year? I often give interviews to media about this topic which is the single most important issue for families in Britain and I say that mothers (or dads in turns) often decide to stay at home as they cannot afford childcare costs while our European counterparts only pay between the equivalent of £250 to £500 per month per full time…
I have always believed in multiracial and multicultural friendships and always will. But this has now being scientifically proven in a University study.

I enjoy reading the stories published every week in the Science news digest published by the British Science Association. Recently they reported a piece of news that sounds like a pretty unlikely story. Apparently Jorge Odon, a car mechanic from Argentina, has developed one of the most important inventions for mothers and babies around the globe.
Odon, who has no connection with obstetrics, has…
