How not to compete with tigers

Article Abstract:

The Australian government, unlike the Singaporean government, has undermined its higher education infrastructure by cutting funds for universities and increasing fees for science and medical students. These cuts have been introduced to remove a budget deficit without raising taxes. In Australia, a dearth of science and technology teachers has occurred due to reduction in the enrolment of students to these high cost courses. The Singaporean government is encouraging students to pursue careers in research in science and technology.

Whose streets are they anyway?

Article Abstract:

Cars and traffic in the UK have consumed much of the open space and taken over many of the residential streets originally used for socializing and children's play. That has many destructive consequences, including less neighborly neighborhoods, more dangerous streets, and children who range over one-ninth the area of the preceding generation, getting less exercise and having a higher risk of poor fitness. A growing anti-traffic movement may help create the political will to implement known traffic-calming measures.
