The kindest cut?
Article Abstract:
It has become increasingly common for pregnant women to regard a Caesarean birth as a viable option, rather than a last resort. They wish to avoid the great pain and fatigue which a long labour can bring, and in some cases do not wish to repeat the experience of a previous traumatic delivery. In the UK, one in seven women now have a Caesarean, compared with only one in 100 in the early 1970s. However, it is important to be aware that a Caesarean, although painless while actually giving birth, will inevitably bring several weeks of discomfort afterwards.

Know how to land the perfect job? Maybe it's all in the mind
Article Abstract:
Many companies in the UK now use psychological profiling as part of their recruitment procedures. This are particularly common in the recruitment of graduates, but is also being increasingly widely used in other areas. Companies regard psychological profiling as an efficient and inexpensive way of obtaining a great deal of information about potential employees or candidates for promotion. However, some psychological tests can produce very misleading results, and it is important not to rely on them too heavily.

Eat those greens
Article Abstract:
Many parents are aware that their children's eating habits are not healthy, but find it extremely hard to persuade their children to eat more healthy foods, such as vegetables. It is necessary to be very firm with children in order to make them change their eating habits, and it may take several months before any real improvement is seen. It is vital not to give way to children's demands for snack foods and to not allow any eating between meals.
