I remember reading an article about an old lady who lived on an island and served as a volunteer coast guard officer. She was later given an honourary appointment for that station where she served tirelessly day in and day out.

One of the things she said was never say "goodbye", and instead she always said "see ya" because she believed that you shouldn't say goodbye or something like that.

Anyone knows where i could find the article?

I was recently advised to apply for a Master's Degree from an Australian university. I haven't completed my Bachelor's, but i was told that they would accept a polytechnic diploma with work experience as the entrance requirement for that Master's Degree programme.

The university is acrredited, and the school / college that runs this programme conducts training for major companies and government departments. Anyone think this it's a good idea to go straight from a diploma to a master's?

I've not come accross any personally, but i'd like to hear if any of you have come accross incidents of racism in your countries.

I'm not just talking accreditation, but quality, and proven graduate employability?
