該作家五度入圍布克獎但卻無緣得獎
Discussion on Beryl Bainbridge being put forward for a special posthumous Man Booker prize. (a.) 死後發生...

C2: Are children's behavioural problems being over-medicalised? 利他能是否被濫用?
Educational Psychologist Dave Traxson says there is an alarming reliance on medicating children who are being over prescribed strong drugs for conditions like ADHD and even mild social anxiety. The 2008 NICE guidelines on the diagnosis and management of children with ADHD states that Ritalin should be avoided wherever possible and not given at all to the under-fives.

C5: 史上最年輕的黑人女性Carlene Firmin 獲頒大英帝國勳章(the MBE= the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire)
Carlene Firmin is one of the youngest black women to be awarded the MBE. This week she received the award from the Palace for her services to girls and women. At 27 she has built a reputation for spearheading research on young people and for campaigning on gang violence and the issues affecting girls. Last year a report she led on gang violence “Female Voice in Violence” made headlines when it revealed that rape was being used "as a weapon of choice" against women associated with gangs.
