Peugeot 308 SW – long-term test
A lot of that stuff is down to a car's weight (1,190kg for the 308 SW versus 930kg for the 309), and ultimately you'll always conclude that a modern car's safety kit is more valuable than a bit of lift-off oversteer, but it is a shame that the 308 isn ...

It’s flooded with light, there is a magical fourth floor roof terrace – with olive trees, lavender and vegetable beds – and Kit Kemp’s talent for designing interiors that last, work in all seasons, and look cosy, always means great textiles and art.

Wrightstyle is a leading UK advanced glazing company and supplies its steel and aluminium systems worldwide. We can’t see or smell it, but it’s one of the most insidious pollutants of the modern world. A person on a bus may be enjoying their music, but the noise leaking from his or her earphones can be deeply irritating to everyone else. For example, a gently-ticking bedside clock may lull some people off to sleep. In the UK, noise is defined as being 'a sound, especially one that is loud or unpleasant or that causes disturbance'. Sound becomes noise when it either interferes with normal activities such as sleeping, conversation, or disrupts one's quality of life. Unwanted noise probably affects most of us every day, and adversely affects the lives of millions of people. Research has demonstrated a link between noise and health problems, including stress-related illnesses, high blood pressure, and sleep disruption. Lack of sleep from noise pollution may also have an unexpected impact on our waistlines. In 1990, about thirty million people in the USA were exposed on a daily basis to occupational noise levels above 85 decibels a harmful threshold.
Students participate in a music production class at TRUE Skool, an afterschool program in Milwaukee that uses arts and humanities to engage high school students in social justice and community service. Over the past decade, the nonprofit has paired hundreds of black, white and Latino teens with local artists to learn how to use the arts to cope with the despair of their surroundings. A freeway was needed to ease travel to the city from the mostly white suburbs in what experts say has become one of America's most segregated metropolises. "I used to intentionally do things to not scare white people," says Jackson, a schoolteacher. Nationally, two-thirds (68%) of younger whites -- ages 18 to 34 -- say the people they socialize with are all or mostly white, according to a new poll by CNN and The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. The study on how Americans feel about race and ethnicity found that 36% of younger blacks say the people they socialize with are all or mostly black vs. 51% different. You go to the (predominantly black) north side, and you see everybody walking around with their pants hanging down," he adds, repeating a popular racial stereotype. Timm, who lived most of his childhood on the north side, says some black parts of town are.
