Using DTI, researchers compared the size and trajectory of the arcuate fasciculus in humans, rhesus macaques and chimpanzees... Read Full Story
BC ESL School Scams continue without Regulations
I was hoping that life would be better in BC - but that will not happen. The notorious international school scam artists that are defrauding thousands of international students and providing Canada with the worst international criminal reputation will be allowed to continue. BC's Advanced Education Minister Murray Coell had the opportunity to create mandatory quality-assurance programs and the re-regulation of English as a Second Language (ESL) schools and he failed to deliver anything of...
