As Greek universities continue to pump out educators, the new crop is joining more than 150,000 trained teachers on the waiting list for a permanent position. It is estimated that incoming teachers will have to wait at least 20 years to get a job in the public education sector.

Travelodge Liverpool: Digger driver wrecks hotel reception

A builder drove a digger through the doors of a Liverpool hotel before leaving a scene of chaos inside.

Onlookers shouted at the driver to stop as the machine mounted the steps of the Travelodge, sending debris flying as it crashed through the doors.

Footage shows a bystander banging on the side of the cab, but the driver ignores pleas to halt the rampage as the digger rams the reception desk and windows.

Merseyside Police is investigating.

A witness, ceiling fixer Samuel White, 24, said the driver was involved in a pay dispute over £600 with contractors at the hotel, which is under construction.

‘Endangered’ elements used to make mobile phones are running out quickly, scientists warn
People should avoid changing their phones every few years, say researchers

Vital chemical elements have been included on an “endangered list” because they are being thrown away in mobile phones at such a high rate.

Scientists have warned some of the substances used to make phones are becoming increasingly scarce due to limited supplies, their location in conflict zones and the lack of recycling.

To tackle this problem, they say people should avoid changing their phones every few years.

Hm, changing your cell phone every few years seems pretty essential if you want to have some degree of security on it as OS upgrades are rarely available for older 'phones.

Facebook and Twitter can work out who you are even if you don't use them, study finds

Facebook and Twitter can be used to work out huge details of your personal life – even if you never actually use them, according to a new study.

It is still possible to predict the kind of things you might say simply by looking at the sort of people you hang around with, a new study has found.
