I Am a procrastinator.
Every morning I have to clear up mess from the garden left by my dogs. Yesterday I applied a trick from psychologists, who say doing a dreaded chore for just three minutes makes it manageable. I did it. The rule works!

Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said today that Ukraine's capital city has been 'turned into a fortress' ahead of the Russian assault, with about 2 million people - half the residents of the metro area of the capital - having fled as Putin's troops draw ever closer.

The battle for Kyiv is now underway as Russian tanks this morning pushed to within just a few miles of the city outskirts, analysts and witnesses said, though initial assaults to the west and east were repelled as Putin's forces face a long and bloody campaign to try and take the capital.

Dr Hilary Cass is a retired paediatrician and makes clear in her introductory letter to young people who feel they need help around identity that she is not suggesting closing down the services they need, but proposes more and better care than what has been on offer from the Tavistock's Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) in London.

Kremlin troops launched two attacks on Kyiv late Wednesday and earlier today - one via the besieged western city of Irpin and another through the eastern district of Brovary, with video showing the moment Russian tanks and armoured vehicles were bombarded with artillery in a devastating ambush and forced to turn back. 

In the early years it was predominantly young boys who were seeking treatment.
It's now mostly teenage girls who want to change. One third of the whole have autism or other types of neurodiversity, and a large percentage are looked-after children. 

For those of you who can't take on a full time course at a university, high school or language school to learn Chinese, Summer Program China is the next best option. Next Step China's Summer Chinese Language programs in Beijing caters to ALL AGES with its Intensive Tutoring Program and college and high school students, where students can receive college credits, at Beijing Language and Culture Universit

This comes after the Met Office has issued an amber warning for wind which could cause a 'risk to life' in Northern Ireland until 7am, while a milder yellow wind warning covers England, Wales and south-western Scotland from midday until 1pm. 

It was a report by Dr Michael Biggs, associate professor of Sociology at Oxford University, together with the experience of Keira Bell, a young woman who had been treated at GIDS with puberty blockers and prescribed cross-sex hormones as a teenager, that alerted me to the dangers of the treatments on offer. 


The objective of most of these courses is not only teaching students Chinese but also to expose them to the culture of this civilization and allow them to explore it. NSC also provides language exchange partners that encourage students to practice and learn. Accommodations and safe

She was detained, questioned for 14 hours and didn't sleep for two days. I doubt I would have had such courage. I know what Putin does to his critics. My friend, the fearless Russian reporter Anna Politkovskaya, recovered from an attempt to poison her, but was shot dead in Moscow in 2006.
A critic of Putin, she had campaigned against Russia's war in Chechnya. I fear Marina's punishment maybe more than the 30,000 rouble (£220) fine she has incurred. I fear for her life.

I finally got through to Homes for Ukraine and registered whom I could accommodate — adults with children. I gave the first part of my postcode, offered a home for six to nine months, gave permission for them to contact me, my full name, phone number and email address, ticked the box to say I agreed for the information given to be used and tried to continue. 

If you choose a summer program China with a university such as BLCU you will not be disappointed in the quality of teaching as the college is known for teaching Chinese as a second language.
The university program duration are 4 weeks or one month, 5 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks or two months. The university classes begin in June and go up to August. A typical day at the University is from 8AM to 12PM for 5 days a week, which is 20 hours a week. A student can also choose to have after Intensive Tutoring sessions with a private tutor, one on on

'How do I speak to my child about war in Ukraine?' FEMAIL has asked a team of psychologists, psychiatrists and teachers from across the UK for their advice on how to broach the subject with their children. Stock image

This constant pain has put Ms Stout's life on a stand-still since infancy, as she cannot do the average things that most people her age do as part of their day-to-day routines, such as getting the subway to work or to sit for hours in an office, as sitting for long periods of time causes her unbearable pain.

She first expressed concerns about the length of the waiting list at GIDS in a letter to NHS England in May 2021. It's taken a further nine months for this report and it is only an interim one.
It will be months before we have her final conclusions.
