Diana (7-1 to 9-1) has obvious provenance and is very likely to appear in some form, though probably as a middle name. Elizabeth (7-1 to 10-1) would also be a reasonable bet for a middle name, and is the Duchess of Cambridge's middle name. Victoria, Caroline and Mary were also seen as safe royal names.

Here was an incursion happening. I joined in and put my hood up. I knew I had a lot of rights if I got stopped but also that the largeness of the crowd meant I wounldn’t be.I didn’t need to do anything. I lolled around the shop. I bit into a TV as a sort of laugh.\


My name is Augustine Yelfaanibe, I am 36 years old and I am a native of Nandom, a small town in the Upper West Region of Ghana. It is located 30km north of Lawra the District capital with a total population of about 15,000—20,000. The local people are Dagara who are mostly farmers and yet most of them hardly live above subsistence level. 

His theme is often the strangeness of human desire. We are not merely evolutionary machines. "Darwinian psychoanalysis would involve helping you to adapt, find a niche and enable you to reproduce," he says. "Freudian psychoanalysis suggests that there is something over and above this. These are parts of ourselves - that don't want to live, that hate our children, that want ourselves to fail. Freud is saying there is something strange about humans: they are recalcitrant to what is supposed to be their project. That seems to me to be persuasive." It also, you might notice, suggests humans have a design flaw. In the new essay collection, Side Effects, he offers the Phillipsian paradox that desire is unpredictable as well as insatiable. One might infer that an ironical appreciation of the mystifying human psyche is the best that sane people can manage.

After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana. Why not? Because as far as they know that's the way it's always been done round here.

4.	With regards to his dress on the day of the shooting The Observer reported that he was dressed in "baseball cap, blue fleece and baggy trousers." Mark Whitby, a witness to the shooting, told Reuters that he observed Menezes wearing a large winter coat, which "looked out of place".[85] Vivien Figueiredo, a cousin of Menezes, was later told by police that Menezes was wearing a denim jacket on the day of the shooting.[86] Anthony Larkin, another eyewitness, told the BBC that Menezes appeared to be wearing a "bomb belt with wires coming out."

This is an important year for her and she is worried if the situation continues, it will affect her education.Her concern is shared by many in her class who are competing to get a place at secondary school. Bathshiba and many other students have come to accept that spending only half a day at school during the dry season when water runs out is normal. To add to the problems the school’s only source of water, an 800 gallon water tank, has become a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

This will likely be scoffed at, but being in my early twenties if I am completely honest the following two books are the only ones so far that I can say have really "changed" anything for me in a direction altering way. This, and the fact they might be construed as cliché options, is because I read them as a teenager. The impact of what poisons you when you are young is not to be understated in my opinion.

Facing such a physical challenge, professional goalies must decide before the actual kick what they will do: go right, go left, or stay put. So Azar decided to study what they actually do—and what they should do to be successful. He collected data on more than 300 of the top keepers in the world in action, and found a clear pattern: Goalies had the best chance of stopping a penalty shot if they just stayed put, smack in the center of the net. If they did this—that is, moved neither left not right–they were able to stop the opponent’s shot 33.3 percent of the time. That’s not great, but it’s a lot better than the other odds: Goalies who made a guess and jumped left stopped only 14.2 percent of the shots, and goalies who dove right stopped a dismal 12.6 percent. That’s one in eight, which means seven of every eight penalty shots flew past for a score. That can’t feel good.

Ten years ago, the small mountain kingdom of Lesotho in southern Africa became a water exporting country, even though it does not have nearly enough water for its own needs, suffers from recurrent droughts, and a majority of its population has no access to clean water. Indeed, the UN last year called for Lesotho to be given emergency relief aid, including water for people and livestock, to address a growing humanitarian crisis.  The country became a water exporter when the Katse dam - Africa's highest dam and the first in the massive Lesotho Highlands water project - began sending water through miles of mountain tunnels to South Africa's industrial heartland. The theory behind this World Bank-sponsored project was that a country with a lot of water can earn money for poverty-fighting programmes by exporting to a water-strapped neighbour. While the bank's financial support was critical in getting the project off the ground, other institutions - including the British government's Export Credits Guarantee Department - participated in raising the $3.5bn for the first phase of this massive project.  Elusive benefits  However, the promised development benefits for Lesotho have proved elusive. In fact, the country has suffered as its fragile mountain environment has been degraded and native fish and plant species have been pushed towards extinction. At least 27,000 people in the Highlands have lost their homes, fields and other vital resources as a result of the project. A further 150,000 people downstream have had their drinking water, farming and fishing affected by reduced river flows.  Income from water exports was to be paid into a development fund that would "share the wealth", but the fund found itself caught in a crippling mix of politics and patronage, and was closed in 2003.  Despite a clause in contracts that people should not be made poorer as a result of the project, compensation programmes have been largely ineffective and lost livelihoods have not been restored. An impoverished population, traumatised by pending resettlement, was also highly vulnerable to HIV-Aids brought in by thousands of migrant workers building the dams - resulting in a growing population of orphans fending for themselves.  "They promised that our lives would be improved, but instead our dignity has been destroyed," says a member of the local Survivors of Lesotho Dams group.  As with many large infrastructure projects, corruption was widespread and several prominent companies were found to have bribed project officials to secure lucrative contracts. Unlike most cases of corruption, however, this one took a David and Goliath turn when the Lesotho courts convicted several international consulting and engineering companies for their part in the bribery. But the western backers of the project appear complacent about their own nationals implicated in corruption. The UK's Serious Fraud Office has had evidence against at least one British company for more than a year, but there is no indication when, or if, it will take action.  Africa's history of large dams is filled with tragedy. Many have caused indebtedness, political inequities, widespread environmental degradation, and have sapped resources from more appropriate, smaller-scale development projects. Now more megadams are planned for countries around the world, with support from western donors and, increasingly, from Chinese, Brazilian and Indian investors.  The World Bank's private sector arm, the International Finance Corporation, and the EU's European Investment Bank are supporting the controversial $800m Bujagali dam, now being built at the site of a beautiful cascade on the Nile in Uganda. As well as impacts on endangered fisheries and local communities, critics question the dam's ability to provide affordable energy. "The high cost of the project will further limit funds for rural electrification," says Frank Muramuzi, of the National Association of Professional Environmentalists, in Kampala. "Uganda already has the most expensive power in the region, and tariffs have more than doubled recently, pushing more people out of the already limited market for electricity."  Studies indicate that global warming could reduce outflows from Lake Victoria, affecting hydropower from Bujagali and making the project even less viable.  In Mozambique, China and Brazil may cooperate to build a new dam on the Zambezi river, undermining a plan to restore the Zambezi delta and its rich fisheries, wildlife areas and farmlands by allowing more natural flows out of existing dams.  But the jewel in the crown that companies from around the globe are eagerly eyeing is the Grand Inga, the world's biggest dam project, proposed for the Democratic Republic of Congo. At an estimated cost of $80bn, Grand Inga will be a magnet for corruption in one of Africa's least stable regions. Its price tag does not include distribution networks needed to supply energy to the long-suffering people of that country. Mining, timber and other industries will be the main beneficiaries, while poor farmers and fishers who depend on the river's flow of the water and nutrient-rich sediments will be the losers.  Affordable energy and clean water are critical if poverty is to be reduced, but there is no indication that megadams fill these central needs. Sadly, the current situation means that the poor are largely sidelined by the competition for a share in the global dam-building business.  · Korinna Horta is an economist with the US non-profit organisation Environmental Defense.

This was the period when fascism loomed as an electoral reality in England, and the Left made anti-racism an inescapable feature of mainstream politics. Music was crucial to the process.

”I dream of wanting – and all I want seems to me worthless. Like a vandal corroded by melancholy, I proceed without a goal, self without a self, toward some unknown corner… in order to discover an abandoned god, a god who is his own atheist, and to fall asleep in the shadow of his last doubts and his last miracles.” 

"To the beloved memory of Harriet Mill the dearly loved and deeply regretted wife of John Stuart Mill. Her great and loving heart, her noble soul, her clear, powerful, original and comprehensive intellect, made her the guide and support, the instructor in wisdom, and the example in goodness as she was the sole earthly delight of those who had the happiness to belong to her. As earnest for all public good as she was generous and devoted to all who surrounded her, her influence has been felt in many of the greatest improvements of the age and will be in those still to come. Were there even a few hearts and intellects like hers the earth would already become the hoped for heaven. She died, to the irreparable loss of those who survive her, at Avignon Nov. 3 1858."

Michael Sheringham's piece on "Archiving" was immensely rich and suggestive in its exploration of the city as a repository of memories, as "layer upon layer of compacted material detail". I was particularly struck by his idea that as well as the written history of a city, there is a unique and personal history experienced by each inhabitant - the Tube station where you met your lover on the first date, the street where a grandparent used to live, the anonymous office block where you used to work. The city's street corners are dense with histories both written and unwritten. The city, says Sheringham, is "a memory machine."

Can a pot go down a pan? That pressing question aside, this whole argument is nonsense. Pensions might be affected by BP's tumbling stock price, but pension funds are in the business of risk management - that's all they do, or all they're supposed to do, just as BP is supposed to manage oil drilling is a reasonably responsible manner. The implication of these remarks is that BP should be immune from political or popular sanction or criticism, and to politically hurt BP is to launch an assault directly on pensioners. This is the logical outcome of the worship of "the markets" - a form of corporate fascism, the conflation of corporations, state and people, in which an attack on the FTSE or its larger members constitutes a direct assault on the Volksgemeinschaft.

If getting ass increases serotonin or dopamine levels in our heads, and we perceive ourselves to be happy whilst ass is being gotten, then how intrinsic is that happiness? Ain’t that just brains being brains? I wanna be happy in the heart and not the head, but I don’t know how. Maybe chemistry ain’t so bad, so thank god for Mrs. Whisky, and what she’s gonna do to me 2nite.

3. "The current population of the Jakarta metropolitan area is larger than that of the world at the time of the French Revolution. A wave of humanity this large cannot be excluded forever, and the future of the developing world may depend on whether its cities make peace with the slums in their midst." A crucial truth: social and economic inclusion is key to the future of the world's cities.

If I were given carte blanche to write about any topic I could, it would be about how much our ignorance, in general, shapes our lives in ways we do not know about.  Put simply, people tend to do what they know and fail to do that which they have no conception of.  In that way, ignorance profoundly channels the course we take in life.  And unknown unknowns constitute a grand swath of everybody’s field of ignorance.

We are overshadowed by a nimbus of ideas. There is our physical reality and then there is our conception of ourselves, our conception of self — one that is as powerful as, perhaps even more powerful than, the physical reality we inhabit. A version of self that can survive even the greatest bodily tragedies. We are creatures of our beliefs. This is at the heart of Ramachandran’s ideas about anosognosia — that the preservation of our fantasy selves demands that we often must deny our physical reality. Self-deception is not enough. Something stronger is needed. Confabulation triumphs over organic disease. The hemiplegiac’s anosognosia is a stark example, but we all engage in the same basic process. But what are we to make of this? Is the glass half-full or half-empty? For Dunning, anosognosia masks our incompetence; for Ramachandran, it makes existence palatable, perhaps even possible.

To address this so-called stereotype threat, Steele proposes an exercise in self-affirmation: either write down or say aloud positive moments from your past that reaffirm your sense of self and are related to the threat in question. Steele’s research suggests that affirmation makes people far more resilient and high performing, be it on an S.A.T., an I.Q. test, or at a book-club meeting.
