International Women’s Day 2021: 5 Animated Releases With Strong Women Stories To Watch Out For
Have we ever really given a thought as to why children love watching cartoons and animated movies? Well, the politically correct answer would be that it helps build their imagination and tingles creativity. But if you really think about it, you will know that the answer is pretty simple. Children love stories!! They tread the path with their favourite characters to learn and derive values from these tales as they grow older. What we see today is a welcome change as gone are the days where the princess, a damsel in distress, waited years for her knight in shining armour. We want young girls to be independent, face difficulties but find the solutions on their own. We wish for them to grow up to be strong and confident about who they are and journey whatever the kind of life they choose. Maybe even save a hero on their way.

New app allows the elderly with dementia and their caregivers to go on a trip down memory lane
SINGAPORE - Caregivers can now access an app which can help in interacting with elderly dementia patients. Launched on Monday (Sept 28) by Singapore's National Heritage Board (NHB), National Museums Liverpool and the British Council, the local version of the digital application contains multimedia features and images of relatable everyday items from Singapore's yesteryear. Originally launched in the United Kingdom in 2014, the My House of Memories application has also been adapted for users in the United States. Similar to a digital scrapbook, it draws on the power of familiar items - from the 1930s to the 1990s - to evoke memory and help users share personal stories with their caregivers. The items featured in the local version of the app include 100 objects from Singapore's National Collection and 11 additional objects from the Alzheimer's Disease Association. They include the Setron television set, the first locally manufactured black-and-white TV set in 1964, as well as a … [Read more...] about New app allows the elderly with dementia and their caregivers to go on a trip down memory lane
