In the shadow of talent
Article Abstract:
Supporting a talented child can be very challenging, according to Chris Jones, whose daughter Zoe showed great talent for ice skating from an early age. Having a talented child can disrupt family life, and can cause particular problems for brothers and sisters. Iain Jones, Zoe's brother, often felt that he was inferior to his sister. He feels that having a talented sister has definitely had an impact on his personality. He is proud of Zoe, but resents the time and money invested in her when they were growing up.

Sleep perchance to do more
Article Abstract:
It is becoming increasingly common in modern society for people to cut down on the time they spend sleeping in order to make time for domestic, work or social commitments. Some observers believe that this is a very negative trend which could have serious consequences, both for individuals and for society as a whole. They feel that many people are significantly sleep deprived, but remain unaware of how this can affect their mood, performance and behaviour.

Hello boys (got any painkillers?)
Article Abstract:
A considerable number of fashion items have the potential to cause health problems. Cropped trousers, for example, can irritate the nerves inside the muscles of the thigh, causing merelgia parasthetica, while a fashion bra can put heavy strain on the muscles of the back and the neck. High heels can cause serious damage to the feet and legs, while some nail varnishes can cause contact dermatitis and artificial nails can prompt fungal infections.
