I bet you thought being a writer was going to be a relatively risk-free career, didn't you? How very wrong you were. Below is a list of just a few of the dangers of the job they never warned you about in school: 1. Paper has an evil side Seriously. Maybe it's holding a grudge about the fact that it was once a beautiful tree ... More..

Jobs & Careers > Job Interviews How to use body language to get the job you want
1 of 5

As soon as you meet, or even see, a person, you form an impression of them based on their posture, gestures and facial expressions. We all do it, sometimes without even realising. This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting you... More..

Travel > Ireland A guide to the nightlife of Dublin, Ireland
1 of 5

"Top o' the mornin' to ya!" and "What's the craic?" may be stereotypical clichd phrases associated with the Irish, but they are actually genuinely used by Dubliners ("So they are!"). In fact, one of the best things about this city is the people. In 2007, Dublin was voted the friendliest city in Europe. You won't run out of p... More..

Whilst there are many so-called 'hangover cures' on the market, Bloody Mary is one of the few with a reputation for actually working. It's refreshing, spicy and slightly alcoholic, and contains a large amount of vitamin C and other antioxidants to cleanse your body and increase your energy levels. Bloody Mary does not have t...

Travel > France Travel destinations: Paris, France
6 of 20

Before my trip, I had high hopes for Paris. I even splashed out on a detailed guidebook to help me find my way around and to learn about the famous sights. Unfortunately, while Paris is one of the most famous cities in the world, I also found it to be the most disappointing. At the time I went, I was in the middle of reading... More..

Travel > United Kingdom Best places to visit in London
10 of 27

As a Londoner, you'd think I'd have loads to tell you about the place. The truth is, it's the city I've found it the hardest to write about so far. This is because I'm so used to it, I don't really notice all the tourist attractions. I walk past them on a daily basis without batting an eyelid. I do, however, know my favourit... More..

Health & Fitness > First Aid Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
2 of 5

These are the current guidelines in the UK for administering CPR to an adult. Please note that for a baby or small child the process is slightly different. Please also note that there is a very small chance that you will revive the casualty. CPR is generally used to keep a person alive until professional medical help arrives... More..

The Dreaded Writer's Block! I hate it when I can't get inspiration; sometimes it feels as if I'll never be able to write another article again! This is exactly what has happened to me today so I've decided to beat writer's block at it's own game and use it as my inspiration! I've just read that writer's block is an illusion,... More..

Health & Fitness > Nutrition Basics Good fats versus bad fats
3 of 7

FAT. The word alone is enough to send most people running for the hills. But contrary to popular belief, fat is actually good for you. It's as important to the human body as proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. In fact, experts recommend that 15-20% of our diet should consist of fat. It just has to be the right ki...

5 of 10

Of all the places in the world I've visited, one city in particular stands out as my favorite. And it's not an obvious choice. For me, the best place in the world is Memphis, Tennessee. Yep, you read it right. Memphis, Tennessee - home of the Blues, birthplace of Rock & Roll. As an avid Elvis fan, I have always wanted - ... More..
