Considering their wedding cost over $20,000 and took a year and a half to organize, you would be surprised to hear that Richard and Victoria Hammond now intend to forget it Well, almost

"It was a wonderful wedding, an unbelievable day," says Victoria "But we have so much we want to do together now, we are both looking to the future." Her husband, banker and amateur race driver Richard,agrees "Both our minds are now fixed firmly on the future I'll never forget our wedding ceremony or the reception we had at a cliff-side hotel afterwards, but there's so much we want, so many hopes Our marriage is so much more important than the wedding."

"At the moment, we are still living with my parents," explains Victoria, "so our first wish is to find our own place We intend to start looking for a new house with all the modern conveniences in the suburbs

in the new year." Both Victoria and husband Richard have a lot of siblings Do they intend to add to the extended Hammond family? "We plan on having two or three children ourselves," Richard tells me

"Victoria is just wonderful with children and I can get 3 years paternity leave from my work, which is just perfect."

The young couple has just returned from a two-week honeymoon spent in an authentic Scottish castle Both the newly-weds are big travel lovers and Richard hopes this will continue "I would like to go travelling as much as possible together Travelling with someone else is such a sharing experience I thinkit's sad to experience all the wonderful places in the world and have no-one else there." Victoria also hasanother great travel ambition that she might have to do alone "I have always been fascinated by safari and my real wish is to go on safari Richard has no interest in wildlife though."

And what about the marriage itself? In a world with such a high divorce rate, how do Richard and Victoria hope to avoid all the problems that beset so many other couples? Richard explains thoughtfully that "our ambition is to always talk to each other If you stop communicating, what chance do you have?" His wife goes along with that completely "I hope that we can speak about things, but also not expect everything to be easy I think many people expect the wedding to be the end of getting to know each other I think it's the start."

Leading investors have joined the growing chorus of concern about governments and companies rushing into producing biofuels as a solution for global warming, saying that many involved in the sector could bejeopardising future profits if they do not consider the long-term impact of what they are doing

in the last years as an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels but environmental and human rights

is already great concern about palm oil, which is used in many foods in addition to being an important biofuel, as rain forests are being cleared in some countries and people driven from their homes to createpalm oil plantations.An analyst and author of the investors' report says that biofuels are not a cure for climate change but they can play their part as long as governments and companies manage the social and environmental impacts thoroughly There should also be greater measure taken to increase

efficiency and to reduce demand

Some scientists have predicted that healthy adults and children may one day take drugs to improve theirintelligence and intellectual performance A research group has suggested that such drugs might become as common as coffee or tea within the next couple of decades

To counter this, students taking exams might have to take drugs tests like athletes There are already drugs that are known to improve mental performance, like Ritalin, which is given to children with problems concentrating A drug given to people with trouble sleeping also helps people remember numbers

Which of the following is true? Heating and condensation produce the various products

According to the passage, ethnic conflicts…

Hatred is a fundamental human emotion that has deep root in society and

culture Psychologists believe that group identity and cohesion depend to a largeextent on having a common enemy It seems that the existence of "bad guys" is

an important element in defining who we are within a large realm It could be said that human beings love to hate The first signs appear early in life when a child, faced with blame for some mistakes, immediately accuses another child or

an inanimate object such as a teddy bear Later, on the schoolyard playground, children in rival groups vie for attention and influence These basic responses translate into more powerful emotions later in life One area where deep-rooted hatred is exhibited is in the ethnic clashes that constantly occur around the globe These conflicts are not only over territory but also involve emotional issues of group identity and unity of purpose For many, there is no "us" without

a "them" to hate In a world where conflict between super powers is on the decline, it may be that humanity will have difficulty adapting to a state of mutualrespect and cooperation
