A battleground to be
Article Abstract:
Eagle Star plans to construct a new town of 3,000 houses and related facilities on 1,200 acres of farmland near Micheldever Station in rural Hampshire, England. There has been considerable public opposition to the project, which would take at least 15 years to build. However, an independent panel of inspectors has to the county council that it must either agree to this scheme or to the construction of a large housing estate on the outskirts of the historic town of Winchester, England, if local housing needs are to be met.

Just a single orange in the fridge: the facts of life in a 'food desert.'
Article Abstract:
Many residents of the UK's poorest estates find it extremely difficult to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables. They often live a long distance from a supermarket, and are unable to transport large amounts of food. They must rely on local shops, where fresh fruit and vegetables, if available, are very expensive, as are many basic food items. Research indicates that there is a direct link between poverty and malnutrition, with many poor people suffering from iron deficient anaemia.

My dad the hero
Article Abstract:
Very particular problems face boys whose fathers die a hero. The child is expected to be brave and composed, and may find himself trying to make sense of his father's death for the rest of his life. These boys can often be made to take on tasks for which they are not psychologically ready, and this robs them of a vital part of their childhood. Some feel that they have been abandoned by their father, and resent the fact that they cannot benefit from their father's guidance.
