Going to university seems to reduce the risk of dying from coronary heart disease.

How‘s your mood?

For an interesting attempt to measure cause and effect try Mappiness, a project run by the London School of Economics, which offers a phone app that prompts you to record your mood and situation.

The Mappiness website says: “We‘re particularly interested in how people‘s happiness is affected by their local environment — air pollution, noise, green spaces, and so on — which the data from Mappiness will be absolutely great for investigating.’’

Until the philosophy which holds one race superior

And another inferior

Is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned,

Everywhere is war - Me say war.

First class and second class citizens of any nation,

Until the color of a man’s skin

Is of no more significance than the color of his eyes -

Me say war.

Utterly destroyed -

Well, everywhere is war - Me say war.

War in the east, war in the west,

War up north, war down south –

War - war - Rumors of war.

And until that day, the African continent will not know peace.

We, Africans, will fight — we find it necessary —

And we know we shall win

As we are confident in the victory.
