Sun shines on forecaster

Article Abstract:

Academic entrepreneur Piers Corbyn, who claims that his weather forecasts are better than those of the Met Office, maintains that there is no general trend towards global warming. He dismisses much of the talk about the greenhouse effect as selective statistics. Corbyn, whose company Weather Action employs 10 staff and generates a turnover of 300,000 pounds sterling, uses a secretive weather forecasting method based on sunspots. He explains that one of the reasons he will not publish his forecasting method is because he does not understand how it works.

Madam speaker

Article Abstract:

Camille Puglia is an academic who has written attacks on feminism. She sees women as embodying nature and men as representing civilization. She worked at Bennington in Vermont and then taught night school before working for the University of the Arts, Philadelphia. She argues that she is a feminist but that the feminist movement has become too involved with the preoccupations of middle class white women. She stresses the importance of classical works, rather than women's and gay studies.

Fall-out from the nuclear family: divorce, single parenthood and live-in lovers have changed the variety and complexion of the British family

Article Abstract:

The Child Support Agency, established in 1991, faced violent demonstrations and threats to CSA officials, in spite of cross party support. This led to reflection on changes to the institution of the family, the most significant of which is the major growth in divorce, creating single parents and composite serial families. Divorce combined with the mother's custody of children has led to small or solitary households, and in some cases poverty.
