In these safety nazi times, here's a thought to scare all parents...

Smallpox, caught naturally, killed up to 30% of those it infected

So, in the 18th Century many parents would deliberately infect their children by rubbing them with scabs from infected people.

For scary horrible videos, just YouTube for smallpox.

Blindness not always a burden

As last year, I decided to enter the Guardian’s International Development Journalism Competition. Didn’t get as far this year as last year, but thought I’d post it in case somebody maybe wants to read it!

Eager students watch Chane Temesgen as he stands at the head of his classroom.

Yet he cannot return their gaze as he has been blind for 50 years.

Richard Graham gets his debate (the one he was late for first time) — National Apprenticeship Scheme (21 Jul 2010)

Richard Graham (Gloucester, Conservative)

I am grateful to Mr Speaker for enabling me to re-secure this debate. I am also grateful to him and many others for their kind reminders about its starting time, which, together with the help of three alarm clocks and several telephone calls from my wife in Gloucester, have ensured that this parliamentary apprentice has already rehearsed his speech in this Chamber this morning. I am sorry that the shadow Minister for apprenticeships, Kevin Brennan, is unable to be with us, but if he has any difficulties with a faulty printer, I am available to offer assistance.
