By Seb Dean from Apartment-hotels.com This is a simple guide to some statues that you probably walk past every single day on your way to and from work, but don’t even notice! Sometimes we get so caught up in life that we stop noticing the details and we forget about the history behind beautiful things such as these statues.

By Jack Peat, Editor of The London Economic  There are very few big industries in existence today that are not overrun by big companies. Take a minute to count how many rail operators there are in the UK or mobile phone companies, banks or electricity firms and you’ll struggle to move past your first five fingers. In a world where corporate capitalism is allowed to run riot, understanding how to keep big firms in check has become of paramount importance....

By Gregory Taylor Reports of the Ebola outbreak have been rife of late. Some 8,399 probable or suspected cases have been confirmed by The World Heath Organisation (WHO) causing a media frenzy around the outbreak, a frenzy that perhaps clouded Friday's Mental Health Day that shines the spotlight on a suspected 450 million people worldwide who have mental health problems. The Office for National Statistics Psychiatric Morbidity report found that one in four British adults experience at least one diagnosable mental health problem in any one...

Sport News 24/7 By Philip Benton @paolobento Sam Allardyce is not a bad football manager, he never has been. A quick glance at his CV and it’s no coincidence that his former clubs have fallen from grace since his departure, just ask any Bolton or Blackburn supporter. Which is why the two Daves’ decision to firstly appoint and secondly keep faith in Big Sam at West Ham is one well justified. The problem Big Sam (I wouldn’t say that to his face)...

The thing about Bounds Green is there isn’t really a great deal to say about it. Not that everyone wants to live somewhere edgy. In fact, most people don’t. It just happens that a lot of journalists do, and try and coax you into moving to an area where the odds of getting robbed or getting an organic micro-brewery pale ale, are about even. The area was originally a popular overnight stop-over for travellers, and you get the feeling the slightly...

My Girlfriend is from Sarf East London and always reminisces about the times gangs came down from Thamesmead and beat everyone up…Oh happy days. Also A Clockwork Orange and Misfits were filmed there, just to add to the mystique. My hands were actually trembling as I drove over there for a nose about (public transport is almost impossible from where I live, also in SE London) The area was built on marshland on south bank of River Thames, but oopsy...

By Daniele Bassi Muslims have another reason to be apologetic. After feeling guilty about inventing algebra and astronomy and much more, now the Islamic world has to come to terms with the fact that Malala Yousafzai has just won the Nobel Peace Prize. For those blaming Islam for the violence the world is sunk into, accepting that a 17-year-old Muslim girl received such recognition isn’t going to be easy. The anti-Muslim bigots will definitely have to change the rhetoric contained in their...

By Steve Taggart With a history that pre-dates even the Ancient Greek scholars, the Golden Rule or treating others as you would like to be treated by them, is a concept that, once practiced, allows us to reap rewards in our relationships. Further, by helping others we are inadvertently also helping ourselves; improving our mood, strengthening our self-respect and confidence and making us more attractive to others. From an evolutionary perspective the development and adoption of this rule makes sense....

The general public is becoming increasingly conscious of business ethics. Look at the front pages of newspapers, Twitter feeds, the placards of street protesters and it’s clear that ethics and particularly the green aspect of business ethics is something that consumers are particularly keen to see businesses addressing, and not just with false promises. While greener business practices undoubtedly help the planet, do CEOs really take this into consideration when deciding on their company’s eco policy? In the black and white,...
