StudySloth - Ai Assisted Schedule maker

SlothStudy is a student productivity project designed to help students organize their weekly tasks, manage their study schedules, and improve their consistency. Students often struggle to balance college assignments, exams, DSA practice, and personal projects. SlothStudy aims to make planning simpler by bringing these activities into one place. Currently, I've built the initial frontend, including a dashboard with task overview cards and a weekly task schedule. My vision is to develop it into an adaptive study planner that can generate realistic schedules and help students reorganize their workload when they fall behind. Local development: The application currently runs locally using Vite. Screenshots: I'll include screenshots of the dashboard and weekly task schedule. Live demo: Not available yet.

Enough excuses... it IS lazy parents' fault if their kids start school in nappies. The woke brigade needs to stop infantilising low-income families by claiming they're not capable of being responsible: CLARE FOGES

By CLARE FOGES, FEMAIL COLUMNIST Whose job is it to toilet train a child? Mummy, Daddy, the state, society or the potty fairy? According to the BBC, the answer is anyone but the parents. That is certainly the impression one gets on reading an investigation published on the corporation’s news site earlier this month entitled, ‘Why are so many four-year-olds not potty-trained before school?’ It is a subject worthy of investigation. Earlier this year a teachers’ survey revealed that about one in four children are not toilet-trained when they start school: around 187,000 children every year. The toll on the teachers is significant. To their list of roles – educator, carer, soother, social worker – they must now add Pampers monitor. According to the chief executive of children’s charity Kindred Squared, teachers are ‘losing, on average across the country, a day a week of teaching time to…

Protect Your Money: What you need to know about later-life planning

By SIMON LAMBERT, THIS IS MONEY PUBLISHER and TANYA JEFFERIES, PENSIONS AND INVESTMENT EDITOR Death and taxes are famously said to be the two certainties in life. But while many of us are happy to spend lots of time gnawing over tax, we often avoid discussing the financial implications of dying. We are even notoriously bad at putting in place some of the essentials of later-life planning, despite acknowledging how important they are. Most 50 to 64-year-olds don't even have a will, according to the Money and Pensions Service, which says 53 per cent of this age bracket haven’t written one. Many mistakenly believe that their property, savings and other assets will end up with the people they wish to have them after they die, but the rules of intestacy mean that may not be the case. This can cause administrative and financial problems for your loved ones after you are gone. It is also…
