Could you help Max clean up his act?

MOST parrots are colourful birds but cheeky Max even turns the air blue. When RSPCA inspectors rescued him from a Leicester home on Monday, they got an earful of X-rated language. Now living at Woodside Animal Centre, in Braunstone Frith, the abusive avian has settled down as he adapts to his new environment, although care assistants expect him to be cursing again in no time. They hope to find the foulmouthed five-year-old a home where he can learn new vocabulary. Woodside manager Lisa Smith said: "Max is a cheeky chappy and he does talk - although all we've heard at the moment is blasphemy. "But he's only young so there's the potential for him to learn so much more."Whoever takes him has on has to bear in mind he could live for another 70 years. It's a massive responsibility but he will make a great pet for someone who has had experience with parrots. "He needs someone who will be home a lot of the time, otherwise he'll be very bored - he needs a lot of attention. "He'll also need a big cage and the opportunity to get out." If you are interested in giving Max a home, call the centre on 0116 233 6677. MANILA, Philippines - Recognizing the very significant role the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) plays in the overall scheme to improve learning outcomes among school children, the Department of Education (DepEd) will join the world in the Rosetta Stone celebration of International Mother Language Day (IMLD) on Monday, February 21.Through Memorandum No. 19, series 2011, Education Secretary Armin Luistro said that DepEd supports the declaration of the General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to celebrate such to promote linguistic and cultural diversity as universal values that strengthen the unity and cohesion of societies.With theme "Making Every Child a Reader through MTB-MLE," Luistro said that the celebration challenges DepEd to explore more possibilities on how MTB-MLE can help our country achieve the 2015 Education for All (EFA) goals, particularly in making every child a reader. A UNIVERSITY has become the first in the country to train midwives in sign language. Midwifery students at De Montfort University will be taught by Belgrave charity Action Deafness. Deaf mum Jayne Smith, 28, said she would have appreciated a signing midwife during the delivery of her daughters Charlotte, five, and Angela, three. She said: "It would have made me feel more confident when asking questions about my health and my babies' health. "It is a fantastic idea. It would help them understand the emotional issues, difficulties and barriers that exist for deaf people."Bernadette Gregory, senior lecturer in midwifery at De Montfort, said: "We hope to teach the next generation of midwives how to communicate and provide better care to these women. "I believe we are the first university to run this type of training and I that hope by highlighting this issue, midwives and other health care professionals will introduce it into their training." Dr Joanna Downes, from Action Deafness, said the course would "enlighten the student midwives on the psychological, emotional, social and communication issues facing deaf parents and hearing parents of deaf babies".
