Tennis elbow anyone? Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are a newer form of non surgical treatment for tennis elbow. Studies have shown good results, and I have had doctors tell me they like them better than cortisone shots because cortisone is short-lived relief and can weaken your tendons. Let me know if you have any more questions about this subject or any others. Happy Monday.

Bassong - We'll bounce back
Sebastien Bassong is confident Tottenham will bounce back quickly from Saturday's defeat to Man United.
Last Updated: 15/09/09 3:30pm
Sebastien Bassong is confident Tottenham will bounce back quickly from Saturday's defeat to Manchester United, starting at Stamford Bridge this weekend.
Spurs could not face a trickier game to put last week's first defeat of the season behind them, as Chelsea are next up in West London.
Bassong has enjoyed a fine start to his career at White Hart Lane and is confident Harry Redknapp's side, who have taken 12 points from five games so far, will prove their credentials at Chelsea.
"We have to show a good reaction at Stamford Bridge, we have a good squad, a good spirit and that's what we intend to do," the Cameroon international said.
Spurs midfielder Niko Kranjcar, after making his debut for the club at the weekend, said: "Everyone is talking about the top four but we'll take each game as it comes and hopefully we'll achieve that towards the end of the season.
"We'll see at the end of the season. One game doesn't tell everything, we have to keep working hard and believing in ourselves."

PLE Evaluation Framework
The publication of the framework marks a breakthrough in our understanding of how to evaluate public legal education. It offers practitioners and evaluators a unique set of evaluation goals, measures and research methods to assess the impact of PLE, and considers the particular challenges of evaluating PLE projects and programmes.
The framework sets out, for the first time, a comprehensive vision of what it means to be legally capable in today’s world. The evaluation framework divides the capabilities people need into four areas or domains.
Recognising and framing the legal dimensions of issues and situations
Finding out more about the legal dimensions of issues and situations
Dealing with law-related issues and situations
Engaging and influencing the world in which we live, by understanding the relationships between the law in our everyday lives and wider social issues and democratic processes.
Martin Jones, Director of Law for Life, said:
‘What does a legally capable person need to know and be able to do in order to navigate the hazards of modern life? The evaluation framework takes a big step towards answering this question by setting out and detailing the four domains of legal capability. It will help us set more precise targets for public legal education, and provides the means of evaluating whether we have achieved them.’
The Evaluation Framework was commissioned by the Public Legal Education Network (now Law for Life) from the Personal Finance Research Centre at the University of Bristol. It was informed by the research evidence and input from international PLE experts including Dr Ab Currie, a member of the project steering group and principal researcher at the Department of Justice in Canada who said:
‘Experiencing legal problems is a very frequently occurring aspect of everyday life and, moreover, experiencing clusters of multiple problems is especially prevalent among disadvantaged groups. The concept of legal capability represents an important step forward in helping the public deal with this reality. Developing legal capability among the population will give people the knowledge and skills to assist them in self-managing problems and participating in the resolution of the legal problems that arise in their daily lives.’
The Framework is accompanied by practical guidance on evaluating PLE.
Our thanks are given to the Ministry of Justice for funding this valuable research.

Teddy Leinbach is a multi-talented Durham, N.C. native who now calls Richmond, V.A. home. Teddy’s path to creating the unique animated sequences that appear in each episode of “Somewhere South” wasn’t a straight one. We chatted with Teddy about his creative process and developing his very own style of animated illustrations.
What is your background? How did you get into film and then also how did you get into animation?
Once I had come to terms with the reality that being 5’10” with a 15-inch vertical was not going to launch me into the NBA, I had to find a new path. So I went to Virginia Commonwealth University with the intent to study painting and illustration. However, during the grind of Art Foundation (a freshman year program where all art majors take classes in all different mediums), I realized that life behind an easel was not for me. So, after conversations with professors and people working in the field, I decided to pursue filmmaking. When I found out during my sophomore year that I could make films while staying around sports, I was all in. Fast forward seven years, I found myself working as an editor on the Markay Media-produced, UNC-TV spot, The Hook. Because of the fast-paced, graphic feel we were going for, the editing called for creative techniques to push this tone. One of the first things I incorporated into the show was drawing over footage. Over time, this technique developed and became the full-on animation you see in “Somewhere South." I guess you could say I became an illustrator after all!
What were you interested in as a kid? When did you leave Durham? Did you have a film community when you were in the “Bull City”?
Like I mentioned before, I was a sports nut all through childhood. I played baseball and basketball in high school, a little bit of soccer, and golf whenever I could. Because I also enjoyed drawing and painting, I went to Durham School of the Arts, which, this may come as a surprise, is NOT a powerhouse when it comes to athletics. Our biggest rival was the School of Science and Math. The nerds vs. the artists, things certainly got heated. I left Durham to go to school in Richmond, and when I left, I had no film community back in Durham. But after I started pursuing film, I got an internship at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke during the summer. That opened my eyes to the extensive Durham film community and I quickly started getting connected with folks all around town. It was awesome to see how much documentary work was happening here, highlighted by the Full Frame film festival. To work with people in my hometown whose work I admire and respect, was, and still is, a huge influence on me.
Talk a bit about your own film career, the different roles you play/have played?
I know this is a common story for young filmmakers but I really have done a little bit of everything. Having gone through the process of making my own films on a next-to-nothin' budget, I have had to do everything on the creative side, from filming to editing to animating to designing marketing materials. These projects have also forced me to learn about and execute pre-production as well as post-production strategy. Learning these skills have translated into outside work. I have found jobs as a cinematographer, editor, graphics specialist, and of course, animator.
Of all the hats you wear in the film world, which is your favorite?
To be honest, I’ve never been much of a “hat” guy. I know that some people like to wear a fedora or maybe even a beret if they are directing, to establish that they are the one in charge. But I’ve just never been that type of person. If anything, you can sometimes catch me in the standard baseball hat, brim to the front!
But jokes aside, I really enjoy editing. Especially if I was involved in the shooting process. If you were to compare filmmaking to building a house, shooting would be collecting all the wood and brick and plumbing and all the materials needed. Then editing would be assembling all the pieces into the final product. I really enjoy the details of constructing the house.
What was your approach in creating animation for “Somewhere South?”
I knew the most important part of the animation was to compliment [Vivian’s] voiceover. Vivian presented all that rich information in such a short amount of time so it was important to have a clear visual that would help viewers digest what she was saying. Once I got the voiceover from Vivian, I constructed a loose outline of the overall structure of the animation. From there, I started drawing. Line by line. Frame by frame. If, for example, I had to animate a character lifting their arm above their head, that is 6 different drawings. Then, put together in quick succession, it creates the illusion of motion. At about 12 frames per second, a one minute animation is no easy task. Each animated segment took me about one full week of work. It’s a bit like cooking. A lot of work only to be ingested in a fraction of the time it took to make! But also, like cooking, to see your work enjoyed by other people is an extremely satisfying experience.
What are you currently working on?
I have two films that I am currently working on. The first, 50 Over, is a film about traveling to all 50 states in 50 days, stopping in each state to play a round of golf. The movie works to explore public courses across the country and break down a long-lived idea that golf is reserved only for the wealthy. We took the trip in the summer of 2017 and I finished editing last December. Now, I am setting up screenings and raising funds to start submitting to festivals. This process has been slowed by the current state of affairs but there are still online screening rooms that are making the film available online. The second film, Sisyphean, which I am co-directing, is a documentary about a group of runners as they travel across the United States by foot from Fort Irwin National Training Center in California to Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, stopping each mile to call aloud the names of service members who have lost their lives. The film explores the complexities of military service, the raw power of grief, and how passion can drive people to extreme feats. This film is in the final stages of editing and we hope to be done by fall 2020. You can learn more about both films as well as see my past work at airballfilms.com

The Franchise Owner's most trusted news source
DENVER – Quiznos issued a press release yesterday that declared Quiznos has successfully completed its financial restructure and has emerged from Chapter 11. But bankruptcy court documents show otherwise.
While the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware filed an order on Tuesday stating that Quiznos’ May 12, 2014 plan for reorganization was approved yesterday by the court, a spokesperson for the bankruptcy hotline said that Quiznos is still in the process of emerging from bankruptcy. “Once they have emerged it will be public on our website,” he said. As of this morning, there was no such documentation that declared Quiznos has exited from bankruptcy proceedings.
The troubled sandwich chain filed for bankruptcy March 14, 2014, after its systemwide sales shrank to such a level that it was unable to pay the interest on its $570 million debt. Trying to skirt around bankruptcy in 2012, Quiznos engaged private equity firms Avenue Capital Group and Fortress Investments to take over as majority stakeholders in order to restructure Quiznos’ untenable $860 million high debt load. After it was chiseled down and swapped for an equity deal, senior lenders voted in favor of a “pre-packaged” reorganization plan that would reduce Quiznos’ debt by more than $400 million.
The court on Monday issued another order. It extends the deadline date from June 26 to October 10, 2014 for Quiznos debtors to determine if civil action lawsuits related to the bankruptcy are appropriate for them. If some are found, the litigation would remove “without prejudice,” allowing cases to be re-filed. The judge said he granted their motion because it was in the best interest of the debtors, their creditors and all other parties of interest.
One such potential lawsuit was outlined by Reorg Research against Quiznos former owners during the bankruptcy filing last March. The report stated that an investigation had been conducted during the past nine months into alleged misconduct of Rick Schaden Management and Ownership Group that arose in connection with Quiznos’ 2012 restructuring under first-lien lenders Avenue Capital and Fortress Investment. The news firm that covers the distressed debt market reported, “There appears to have been a concerted effort to deceive other members of the debtors’ management, certain board members and then-existing lenders. And as a result, Avenue Capital and Fortress could have suffered material damage.”
Despite its non-emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, Quiznos’ CEO Stuart Mathis sent out an email to franchise owners yesterday. “I am reaching out to you to share some exciting news. Today, we announced that Quiznos has successfully completed its financial restructuring and emerged from Chapter 11,” declared Matthis. The CEO said that today (Tuesday) marks the start of a new chapter for the company. “With our financial restructuring behind us, we now have a stronger foundation to execute our comprehensive plan to strengthen performance, revitalize the Quiznos brand and reinforce our promise as a fresh, high-quality and great-tasting alternative to traditional fast food offerings.”
As always, Mr. Mathis committed Quiznos’ relationship with franchisees, saying they look forward to continuing to work with them. “We believe our company and our franchisees are well positioned for future growth and success,” said the CEO.
Court records show that only Quiznos’ plan of May 12, 2014 to exit from bankruptcy had been approved yesterday. The actual exit date is uncertain. The court site Wednesday morning added, “The plan was substantially consummated.”
The debtors in the cases are QCE Finance; American Food Distributors; Quiznos Global; QCE LLC; QFA Royalties LLC; QIP Holder LLC; Quiz-CAN LLC; Quizno’s Canada Holding; QAFT, Inc.; Restaurant Realty; The Quizno’s Master; The Quizno’s Operating Company; National Marketing Fund Trust; The Regional Advertising Program Trust; and TQSC II LLC. The Debtors’ corporate headquarters are located at, and the mailing address for each Debtor is, 1001 17th Street, Suite 200, Denver, Colorado 80202.
As a side note, Quiznos moved its prestigious downtown headquarters last Friday to the Denver Tech Center (DTC). In advance to the move, the franchisor closed down its flagship restaurant known as “The Qube.” A bulletin in the window states they are moving the store to another location.

Just started using a xhorse condor xc-mini plus and I’m having problems. It’s cutting the key blanks too short so they work in the door lock but not in the ignition if that makes sense. I just read a hu100 lock (8 cuts its a 2010 corsa) then I got the original key and copied it on the machine both numbers match I then cut the blade and its approx 1 cm short of the original cut. Any idea how to fix it?
Ignition 10 cut, door locks 8 cut. Your 2 bits short on the ignition.
If not calibration check thickness of blank .
Had it the other day cut 1 with xc mini and one manual still same.
Both worked in lock but not ignition.
Turned out to be the thickness of the blank.

I have always been a fan of Foucault. I even wrote my senior thesis on his theory of Panopticism in literature. Many of his thoughts on sexuality are just as fascinating as those about surveillance.
One of the things I admired about this work was how Foucault unflinchingly reverses the common belief that sexuality was repressed and states that the attention given to sexuality as early as the 17th century was actually the reason why so much discourse on the subject exists today. Rather than suppressing sexuality, it was brought into the light. Therefore, sexuality was never really repressed as so many have come to believe but rather put into the forefront of everyone’s thoughts.
He goes on to talk about power, and how sexuality has gradually become a more integral part of how power structures function. In the end, we are forced to come to the conclusion that sexuality is more a part of our lives than some would care to admit.
It was a fascinating read, albeit a little rough at times given Foucault’s habit of writing long and sometimes circular sentences that need to be read multiple times to find the major point. However, if you are willing to give it the time and brain power (which you honestly should) it brings to light some ideas that will change the way you thought of the past and how the power of sexuality can be seen today.

India is witnessing a surge in demand for plant-based products like plant-based meat, plant-based dairy, plant-based nutraceuticals.
Plant-based food products are finished food products composed from components derived from plants, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds and legumes. A growing section of the population is opting for plant-based food products, especially plant-based “meat”, to lead better and healthier lifestyles. According to a research conducted in 2020, 62.8% Indians are extremely likely to buy plant-based products, while 48.7% of the Indian population would still choose to eat meat from conventional sources.
The recent episode of the global Covid-19 pandemic helped accelerate the push towards plant-based products like never before. The pandemic made people realise the value of life, thus compelling many to switch to healthier lifestyles in that phase. The transition towards plant-based foods is growing as people are consciously cutting down on consumption of traditional meat sources.
Plant-based foods offer a lower fat content, higher fibre content, better control over weight management, equivalent amounts of nutrition through cleaner and leaner foods and easier digestion as compared to the conventional sources of meat.
Not just India, the global market is also experiencing a growth trend in the demand for plant-based foods. Analysts predict the growth of the plant-based market in India at a CAGR of 19.75% by 2025 and estimate its value at Rs 81,000 crore. The colossal increase in the demand proves that people are eager to switch to better control over their health and are well aware of the benefits of these products.
Opting for plant-based products also carry major environmental and moral benefits. Studies have proven that the meat industry is responsible for almost 60% of all greenhouse emissions from food production. Apart from the environmental advantage, dependency on vulnerable livestock animals is also reduced, thereby making such foods cruelty-free.
Apart from the plant-based meat industry, the market for plant-based milk alternatives is also on the rise. With easy access to the informational content and a higher awareness of self, many people possess knowledge about lactose intolerance and conditions resulting from dairy products. Hence, the demand for plant-based dairy products is rising.
Additionally, plant-based dairy products also come with a certain level of fortification as they don’t have nutritional content present in them naturally when compared with dairy products. Fortification increases their nutritional value to be either equivalent or higher than the dairy products.
The benefits of adopting a plant-based diet include improved health and reduced risk of obesity, diabetes and cancer. It also reduces carbon footprint and helps conserve natural resources. A study conducted in 2021 showed that use of animals for food is responsible for 57% of all food production emissions. Large areas of additional land are needed to grow the feed that grazing animals need, and this additional land is frequently cleared by cutting down trees in forests. According to the study’s calculations, most of the cropland in the world is utilised to feed cattle rather than people. Additionally, livestock emit a significant amount of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
Extensive promotion and marketing of these products by famous personalities have led to a monumental impact on the consumers, which justifies the surge in sales. As the plant-based products market is just picking up steam in India, consumers are at advantage due to the competitiveness between multiple manufacturers. To stay buoyant, manufacturers will have to rely heavily on technology to ensure that they are ahead of their competitors.
In addition to technology, manufacturers must introduce innovation in terms of product variants and their taste to be relevant in the Indian market, as Indian food offers diversity in taste and cuisine. It is an uphill task for the manufacturers to strike a chord with the consumers in that regard.
Another huge challenge for the plant-based food manufacturers, specifically the plant-based meat manufacturers, is replicating the exact taste, texture, taste, feel and appearance of the traditional meats. Further, plant-based foods lack in essential nutrients like Vitamin B12 and calcium. Nutrient deficiency is a common problem faced by people who have adopted vegan diet.
Although plant-based foods are more nutritious given their low fat and cholesterol contents, people following veganism are prone to nutrient deficiency. Hence, fortification is a must for such products. Along with fortification, research is required to find more sources of high quality protein and other nutrients.
In the current market, plant-based food products are more expensive than conventional meat sources. This could prove to be a deal-breaker for the consumers looking for cost-effective plant-based food products. Apart from the mentioned issues, the plant-based food products stare at a logistical supply chain problem.
As most of the plant-based foods require cold storage facilities even while transportation, manufacturers fail to find a proper channel for supply and distribution of their products. Resultantly, it affects the availability of those products scarce in the local market. Consumers have to rely on a limited number of channels, most likely the manufacturers’ websites, for buying their products. In addition to these challenges, the regulatory struggles for the plant-based food industry are higher than other food tech industries.
Although the plant-based food industry is still in its formative years, its demand is only growing. With the right approach, pricing and strategy, manufacturers of plant-based food products could be a hit with the consumers.
Undoubtedly, the category is revolutionary and is certainly aimed at creating a healthy wave amongst the consumers. It provides a higher quality and cleaner source of protein than its traditional meat counterparts. An increasing number of health-conscious consumers are driving this sector towards success. A lot of confusion still exists in consumers’ minds regarding plant-based substitutes, but the market is performing good, thanks to the influence of celebrities and prominent personalities through advertisements and marketing.
A larger section of consumers is already aware of the benefits of plant-based food products. The boom in the plant-based food industry is not far away from being the daily preference in Indian homes.


Both of these routers provide the same theoretical AC1750 throughput and both are suitable for a standard home and its devices. However, there are some notable differences that will likely help you make a final decision.
TP-Link Archer C7 vs. NETGEAR R6700 Nighthawk tech specs
|TP-Link Archer C7||NETGEAR R6700 Nighthawk|
(450 Mbps + 1,300 Mbps)
(450 Mbps + 1,300 Mbps)
|Frequency||2.4 GHz, 5 GHz||2.4 GHz, 5 GHz|
|Wireless standards||802.11ac/n/a (5 GHz)
802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz)
|802.11ac/n/a (5 GHz)
802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz)
|Memory||16 MB Flash
128 MB RAM
|128 MB Flash
256 MB RAM
|Ports||Two USB-A 2.0||One USB-A 3.0|
When it comes down to raw performance based on the hardware inside, the R6700 Nighthawk is going to beat out the Archer C7. The former has a dual-core 1 GHz processor (CPU) and 128 MB Flash memory coupled with 256 MB RAM — compared to the Archer's single-core 720 MHz CPU, 16 MB Flash memory, and 128 MB of RAM — allowing for some extra up and down QoS features that prioritize gaming and video streaming.
As far as throughput goes, both can hit theoretical combined speeds of 1,750 Mbps over the 2.4 and 5.0 GHz radios, making them equally fast on paper. The Archer C7 might have six total antennas (three inside and three outside) for impressive range, but the Nighthawk has beamforming capabilities that help get a solid Wi-Fi signal to the far reaches of your home.
The effective range of both of these routers will vary based on the layout of the space you're attempting to cover with Wi-Fi, but both should generally be suitable for medium to large houses. If you have more than, say, five or six people vying for bandwidth, you'll probably want something with more throughput, but for a few people and their devices, either router will perform well.
If you're thinking of connecting an external hard drive to your router for media streaming, the Nighthawk uses a single USB-A 3.0 port for connectivity, while the Archer C7 uses two USB-A 2.0 ports. Here it's really up to whether you want a faster transfer rate or an extra port for a second drive. For wired devices, both routers have four LAN and one WAN Gigabit Ethernet ports.
These two routers share a few common popular features, like parental controls, guest networks, and the ability to use custom firmware like OpenWRT (in the case of the Archer C7) and DD-WRT (in the case of the Nighthawk). Both routers are relatively simple to set up, and both likewise have associated apps for easy management.
NETGEAR's router has some features that will no doubt make it more attractive to those in need of extras, like compatibility with Google Assistant and Apple's Time Machine system, automatic backup software for Windows PCs, and VPN support if you'd like to access your network securely. Up and down Quality of Service (QoS) prioritization is found in both routers, though you'll likely have a better experience with the Nighthawk thanks to the superior hardware inside.
All of these extra features look great on paper, but whether or not you'll actually use them is a different story. If you just need a secure router that can handle a wide variety of everyday tasks, the Archer C7 is still a viable option, and it costs about $15 less.
Finally, warranty and support should be taken into account. Any router can break down, so having some backup is always a good thing. The Archer C7 comes with a two-year warranty and 24/7 support should anything go wrong, while the Nighthawk comes with a one-year warranty and only 90 days of support.
The Archer C7 is the "set it and forget it" option
With identical theoretical AC1750 throughout and great range, either of these routers can handle a standard household's Wi-Fi traffic. If you just want something that you can set up and forget and don't need a bunch of extra features, the TP-Link Archer C7 costs less and should prove up to the task.
If you want more features, go for the Nighthawk R6700
If, however, you'd like a bit of extra performance when it comes to QoS prioritization for gaming and video streaming, plus VPN support, beamforming, and a faster USB-A 3.0 port for external storage, the NETGEAR Nighthawk R6700 is a worthwhile investment for about $15 more.
NETGEAR Nighthawk R6700
A low-cost alternative with worthwhile extras.
It has the same throughput as the Archer C7, but it comes with a few extra features some can appreciate. As long as they don't mind paying more.

Located in The Arches on Brighton seafront overlooking the West Pier, Murmur is a casual, all day dining restaurant by Great British Menu 2017 winner Michael Bremner.
Sister restaurant to the award-winning 64 Degrees, Murmur was opened by Michael to offer a different dining concept, serving healthy and honest food for breakfast, lunch and dinner in a stunning beachside location.
The restaurant is named Murmur from the word murmuration which is the shape that the starlings make when they flock and fly between the two piers here on the coast, with the logo representing the six arches in which the restaurant is located.
Murmur has 37 covers inside and a further 40 covers on the terrace overlooking the beach, is children friendly throughout the day and dogs are welcome on the terrace.
Fantastic and friendly service. Food was excellent!
Lovely evening for our anniversary. Beautiful setting and delicious food.
We had a lovely evening enhanced by fabulous food wine and service.. The Sirloin to share with chips and rockets was outstanding!
Great food, nice wine, good atmosphere
It is an under-rated gem so reluctantly I share ;)
Great service, great food, lovely atmosphere, a bit pricey
Excellent food well presented. The cod was the highlight for my husband. Service friendly and efficient. Atmosphere was better the fuller the restaurant. Would definitely return
Fantastic food and great service. Will definitely be back!
The best lunch out I've had in a while, understated and stylish, beautifully cooked food, excellent service (making sure I had a table suitable for my hearing problems, checking for low alcohol wine for my mum, chatting about the food, lots of smiles and happy interactions between staff....I could go on) and great value. Never mind the location, it was a windy Sunday but being by the sea good in any weather conditions. I loved this place and if I lived in Brighton would be there regularly! I'll be back - my mum lives in Brighton. Thank you
The food and drink we had was extremely delicious. However I had taken my boyfriend (who is a big fish lover) here for his birthday only to find out on a Friday night at 8pm, 2 of the 3 fish dishes were unavailable! Not ideal and it was said rather casually, there wasn't much in the way of money off bill or free drink or other to compensate. Given the menu itself only has 6 options it was limiting.. we did get the option to have the garnish on the other fish but it's not quite the same.
Have visited twice once about a year ago and the other this week. The high standards shown Alastair’s year have been maintained in all aspects.
exclent food and service. only downside was slightly small portion size of gnocci and weak cup of tea.
Fantastic food, beautiful setting, even on a wild and wet and windy night. Good service and atmosphere and was surprised at how reasonably priced it was! Thanks!
Best on a sunny day sitting on the windows with some bubbles. Beautiful.
A hidden gem which gives you Brighton's best! We couldn't have asked for better food or service I would recommend this to anyone who fancies a meal out. Thanks for a perfect night :)
Great food, great service and at a reasonable price.
Fantastic food and service, lovely friendly staff and great atmosphere. We dined as a party of five including a toddler and they went out of their way to make sure that everyone, including our little granddaughter (who they really looked after), had a wonderful experience. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.
We love Murmur and have been regular breakfast customers for a long time up until it stopped last year. Whilst that's the case, we've been for dinner a few times and have loved it every time we've been. The food is great, but the staff really make the experience here for us. All of the staff are super friendly and make us feel welcome every time we return. We'll be making more of an effort to go for lunch and dinner moving forward!
Brilliant roast, very friendly service and great value for money. Shame that it was a bit quiet but not surprising given it being a very windy and rainy Sunday in February, sure it would be buzzing in the spring/ summer. Would recommend and will more than likely be back.
Love it Efficient and very friendly staff Food brilliant, fresh and delicious Can’t fault it!
A delicious lunch and attentive staff, as always. Particularly helpful dealing with a nut allergy and making a special dessert. Murmur is now my daughter’s favourite restaurant!
Great food, impeccable service, shame it was so quiet
Had an excellent meal on a very windy cold and wet Saturday . Complementary fizz on arrival was a lovely touch. Looking forward to visiting again especially on a warm summer evening.
Fantastic service and exceptional food
An absolutely delicious meal from start to finish. Lovely casual atmosphere and friendly service, but superb food and wine. We will definitely be back next time we are visiting!

The 18-year-old may have only handful of appearances with Manchester United’s first team squad but it hasn’t stopped him being cherry picked as one of the finest young talents in Europe.
Alongside him are the likes of Paul Pogba, Jeffrey Bruma and Juan Quintero this year but it doesn’t look like Januzaj will be collecting the award given how the votes have gone so far.
Out of just under 150,000 votes, Januzaj has amassed 1.1% of the votes whereas Bruma has 45.9% and Pogba has 11.2% so a win looks almost impossible for Januzaj but he will be proud just to have been nominated on the list after such a short space of time with the senior team.
There is nothing more exciting than watching the growth of a young boy into a man at Old Trafford and fans are eager to see Januzaj at every opportunity.

text: In the sociology of childhood and youth, children have been conceptualized as passive subjects on hold, still in the process of becoming—rather than in an effective state of being. In effect, children have been conceptualized as the objects rather than the subjects of the research process. This influence got carried over to digital divide research. The latest thinking in the field has started to define and understand children and young people as heterogeneous, nonpassive, autonomous, diverse, and versatile agents actively appropriating the Internet in meaningful contexts of their everyday lives. This article seeks to move the discourse forward via four parallel binary logistic regressions that assess diverse and socially mediated opportunities needed to learn basic digital skills from a representative sample of 6,602 primary and secondary students from 350 schools and high schools in Catalonia, Spain. Our research shows that the school appears to be playing a secondary role, as compared with children and young people’s social practice in heterogenic contexts of everyday life, not only for Internet training but also for providing opportunities to develop and master basic digital skills.

Apple has actually opened up a depictive office in Russia, the Roskomnadzor communications guard dog claimed Friday, ending up being the initial business to follow the Kremlin’s new policies needing international innovation firms to localize their operations in the country.
Under a brand-new regulation, some 13 international modern technology companies are required to open local workplaces and also accomplish a string of other technical demands, like include a Russian-language comments type to their web site, or face significant penalties.
Doubters see the legislation as component of Russia’s ongoing drive against large overseas technology firms, and also it comes after years of installing stress on the similarity Apple, Google and also Facebook.
Songs streaming service Spotify additionally said it had likewise opened a depictive workplace in Russia on Friday, yet is yet to complete several of the legislation’s other technical requirements, the RBC service site reported.
Foreign IT companies have held offices in Russia for a variety of years, but regulatory authorities often grumbled that they were sales, advertising and marketing or development centers– not so-called depictive workplaces with the authority to engage on legal or corporate problems.
The 13 business– which include Facebook, Twitter, TikTok as well as Google– all have greater than 500,000 Russian users a day.
Google, Viber and also Likee stated they intend to abide by the brand-new regulations, while several companies, consisting of Facebook-owner Meta, TikTok and also Telegram, are yet to openly react.
The Kremlin has actually increased its initiatives to put in control over international innovation firms in recent times.
Both Apple and Google in 2015 got rid of mobile applications connected to jailed Kremlin movie critic Alexei Navalny from their on-line shops on the day of nationwide political elections after their Russian-based employees were supposedly endangered with jail time if the demands were refuted.
Russia likewise sends out some of the highest possible number of material deletion demands to social media networks, openness reports show. After years of releasing small penalties to the business if they didn’t remove videos or messages Russia said were illegal, last December Russian regulatory authorities put Facebook and also Google with a document $125 million penalty.

Prevention of falls during hospitalization depends in part on the behaviors of alert patients to prevent falls. Research on acutely ill patients’ intentions to behave in ways that help prevent falls and on the patients’ perceptions related to falls is limited.
To explore hospitalized adults’ perceptions related to risk for falling, fear of falling, expectations of outcomes of falling, and intention to engage in behaviors to prevent falls.
Adult, alert, acutely ill inpatients (N = 158) at risk for falling completed a survey consisting of 4 scales and 3 single items. Nurses’ assessments and patients’ perceptions of the risk for falling were compared.
Decreased intentions to engage in behaviors to prevent falls were correlated with patients’ increased confidence in their ability to perform high-risk behaviors without help and without falling (P < .001), decreased fear of falling (P < .001), and decreased perceived likelihood of adverse outcomes if they did fall (P < .001). Although nurses’ assessments indicated a risk for falls, 55.1% of the patients did not perceive a high likelihood of falling while hospitalized. Whereas 75% of patients intended to ask for help before getting out of bed, 48% were confident that they could get out of bed without help and without falling.
Although assessments may indicate a risk for falling, acutely ill inpatients may not perceive they are likely to fall. Patients’ intentions to engage in behaviors to prevent falls vary with the patients’ fall-related perceptions of confidence, outcomes, and fear related to falling.
Falls are the most common adverse event among hospitalized patients, directly contributing to human pain and distress and increased health care costs.1–9 Complications associated with falls among hospitalized patients can result in death, disability, increased hospital length of stay, placement in an extended care facility, psychological distress, and litigation.1,4,10–13 In addition, the cost of falls in the United States may be more than $40 billion by 2020.2,9,14 Researchers have clearly identified factors related to falls15–25 and interventions that reduce falls.1,12,18–23,26–34 Yet, falls continue to be a serious safety threat, especially for acutely ill, hospitalized patients.2,5–8,16,17,19,20,30,31
Nurses routinely assess hospitalized patients’ risk for falls and educate patients on preventing falls. However, strategies to reduce falls have limited effectiveness if patients do not follow the fall-prevention plans.15,22,23 Patients may have perceptions about their own risk for falling that influence adherence to fall-prevention plans.32–34 Although studies have been done on fall-related perceptions among community-dwelling adults,33,35–37 research on fall-related perceptions among acutely ill hospitalized patients is limited. Nurses need new knowledge about why acutely ill patients do or do not engage in behaviors to prevent falls.
Engagement of patients in their own health care is a primary goal of quality and safety initiatives in the United States.15,38,39 Patients no longer are passive recipients of health care, rather they play a vital role in ensuring their own safety. Alert inpatients can partner with the health care team to minimize errors and adverse events. Research40–42 supports that nurses are key professionals in engaging patients in the patients’ care. However, few investigations have clarified factors that influence, predict, or shape a patient’s engagement during acute illness. Particularly missing is evidence of the role of the perceptions of acutely ill patients in decision making about behaviors related to safety and to prevention of falls during hospitalization.
The purpose of this study was to explore acutely ill, alert, hospitalized adults’ perceptions related to falls. The 4 aims of the study were as follows:
To explore perceptions that could influence patients’ engagement in behaviors to prevent falls during hospitalization, such as perceived likelihood of falling, fear of falling, perceived expectations of the outcomes of falls, and intention to engage in behaviors to prevent falls
To examine differences between acutely ill patients’ appraisal of the likelihood of falling and nurses’ assessment of the patients’ risk for falling
To identify factors predictive of falls among inpatients during hospitalization for acute illness
To examine psychometric properties of instrumentation used to measure inpatients’ perceptions related to falling
Two theoretical frameworks were used for the study. Protection motivation theory proposes that persons who perceive a health threat may form intentions to take action and avoid harm.43 Factors contributing to threat appraisals include perceived vulnerability to threats, perceived severity of threats, and fear related to threats.43–46 Research findings have not yet clarified the proposition that adults may not take action to prevent falls if they do not think they are vulnerable to falling, do not perceive a threat of falling, and are not afraid of falling.
Falls are the most common adverse event among hospitalized patients.
Social cognitive theory proposes that human behaviors are shaped in part by persons’ self-efficacy.47 Efficacy expectations, one component of self-efficacy, are the belief that a person can perform a desired behavior. Outcome expectations, a second component of self-efficacy, are the belief that a behavior will result in a desired effect. If a person is not confident that he or she can perform a behavior or does not think the behavior will create desired outcomes, the person has little incentive to act.
Design and Setting
A correlational design was used to target a population of adult inpatients in acute care units at Indiana University Health Ball Memorial Hospital, Muncie, Indiana. This 350-bed teaching hospital is part of a state-wide health care system.
Power analysis48 indicated that a sample size of 150 to 180 patients would have 80% power to detect relationships with a medium- or large-effect size at α = .05. A sample size of 90 patients could be sufficient under ideal conditions; however, intercorrelations among perceptual variables were expected to be high,33 calling for an estimated variance inflation of 2.0.
Patients were included in the convenience sample if they were nonpregnant, English-speaking adult inpatients on an acute care unit; cognitively alert and oriented; assessed by nurses as being at risk for falls (using the assessment tool21 the hospital used at that time); and in stable physiological condition. Exclusion criteria included a medical diagnosis of dementia or delirium and hospitalization in an intensive care unit, extended care unit, obstetric unit, or emergency department. Inpatients hospitalized on acute care units were assumed to be acutely ill.
Falls were incidents in which a patient made an unplanned descent to a lower level.
The study instrument consisted of a survey of fall-related perceptions, specifically 4 scales and 3 single items. The Confidence to Perform Without Falling Scale (Confidence Scale), developed for this study, was used to measure participants’ perceived confidence that they could perform activities that increased the risk for falling during hospitalization without assistance or falling. The response format was a 5-point Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). A sample item was While hospitalized, I am confident that I can get out of bed to stand without help and without falling.
The Fear of Falling While Hospitalized Scale (Fear Scale), developed for this study, followed the format of fear-of-falling measures designed for community-dwelling adults.35,37 Degree of concern about falling while performing high-risk activities was measured on a 4-point Likert scale from 1 (not at all concerned) to 4 (very concerned). A sample item was While hospitalized, how concerned are you that you might fall while getting out of a chair without help?
The Consequences of Falling While Hospitalized Scale (Consequences Scale) was used to measure potential adverse outcomes of falling and was adapted from a scale designed for community-dwelling adults.36 The response format was a 4-point Likert scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). A sample item was If I fall while in the hospital, I will be in pain.
The Intention to Engage in Fall Prevention Scale (Intention Scale), developed for this study, was used to measure participants’ intention to ask for help when performing high-risk behaviors. A sample item was While hospitalized, I intend to ask for help to go to the bathroom. The response format was a 5-point Likert scale 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).
Three single items were used to measure participants’ perceived likelihood of falling while hospitalized, perceived likelihood of injury if they did fall while hospitalized, and perceived fear of falling. Response formats were 5-point Likert scales from 1 (not at all likely) to 5 (very likely).
All scales and single items were reviewed by a panel of experts on instrument development and safety during critical and acute illness and then were pilot tested. Final revisions resulted in a 38-item survey of fall-related perceptions for acutely ill inpatients.
Three scales developed for community-dwelling adults were also administered as part of data collection, specifically the Falls Efficacy Scale-International,35 the Falls Efficacy Scale,37 and the Consequences of Falling Scale.36 Moderate correlations among scores for community-dwelling and hospitalized adults were anticipated, as evidence of criterion-related validity.
Falls were defined as incidents in which a patient made an unplanned descent to a lower level. Occurrences of falls were recorded by nursing personnel on a report form.
After the study was approved by the appropriate institutional review boards, informed consent was obtained from inpatients who met the inclusion criteria, and patients’ fall-risk status was reviewed to verify that the patients were at risk for falls. If a patient’s cognitive alertness was uncertain, the Mini-Cog examination49 and the Confusion Assessment Method50 were used to assess the patient for dementia and delirium. Scores of probably normal and normal, respectively, qualified patients to continue in the study. Participants completed the study instruments by using pen and paper or by verbally responding when the researcher read items verbatim aloud while displaying yellow cards imprinted with large-font response scales. After a patient was discharged from the hospital, the number of falls the patient experienced after enrollment in the study was counted.
Demographic and clinical variables were analyzed descriptively. Mean scores on multi-item scales were calculated. Instrumentation psychometrics were examined by using principal axis factor analysis, Cronbach α, and Pearson r correlations. Interrelationships and differences among variables were examined by using Pearson r correlations, χ2 test of association, analysis of variance, and t tests. Multiple and logistic regressions were planned to identify perceptual factors predictive of patients who fell. Level of significance was P < .05. Analyses were performed by using SPSS, version 18.0. software (IBM SPSS).
Sample characteristics are displayed in Table 1. Participants (N = 158) were primarily elderly women who had a history of falls in the preceding year. The proportion of participants admitted with cardiopulmonary conditions that required cardiac monitoring and the proportion admitted with orthopedic trauma or for orthopedic surgery were both more than 40%.
Descriptive and Correlational Analysis
Descriptive statistics for study measures are displayed in Table 2. Almost half of the participants (48%) reported being confident or very confident that they could get out of bed without help and without falling, and 81% reported they could reach for items on the bedside table without help and without falling.
The highest mean score on the 4 scales was on the Intention Scale. More than 75% of participants reported they would call for assistance before getting out of bed to walk to the bathroom, walk around in the room, and walk outside the room. However, 10% reported that they would not call for help for any mobility activities. The mean scores of the 3 single items indicated that participants perceived they had a slight likelihood of falling, were somewhat likely to be injured if they fell, and were slightly afraid of falling while hospitalized.
Correlational results are displayed in Table 3 to address the first aim of the study. Significant correlations were found among scores on all 4 scales and single items. Scores on the Fear Scale were most strongly correlated with scores on other scales and items. The activity that raised the most fear was walking outside the hospital room (46%). The most frequently reported anticipated consequences of falling while hospitalized were pain (89%) and difficulty getting up (86%). Participants reported that if they fell, they would still be able to cope alone (69%), be independent (60%), and be active (65%).
Participants’ Characteristics and Fall-Related Perceptions
Data analysis revealed no differences between men and women on total scale scores or single items. Mean scores on the Fear Scale were positively correlated with age in years (r = 0.28; P = .009). Perceived likelihood of falling also increased with age (r = 0.38; P = .04). Furthermore, compared with other participants, participants hospitalized on cardiac progressive care units reported significantly higher perceived likelihood of falling (t = 2.14; P = .03) and higher perceived likelihood of being injured if they fell (t = 2.32; P = .02), yet less fear of falling (t = 3.15; P = .002) and less intention to engage in fall-prevention behaviors (t = 1.98; P = .049).
Data related to the second aim of the study revealed that although assessed by 2 nurses as being at risk for falls, more than half of the participants (n = 87; 55.1%) reported they were not at all likely or were slightly likely to fall during hospitalization. Patients who did not perceive that they were likely to fall anticipated significantly fewer negative outcomes of falling (t = −1.94; P = .05) and less fear of falling (t = −2.67; P = .009) than did patients who perceived that they were likely to fall. Participants who did perceive that they were likely to fall had fallen in the preceding year (χ2 = 14.0; P = .003).
The third aim of the study was to identify perceptions predictive of falls that occurred after enrollment in the study. However, no participants fell after enrollment, despite the statistical projection from hospital databases that 20 patients would fall during the time of data collection. Therefore, the third aim of the study was not addressed.
Psychometric Evaluation of Instruments Used
In order to address the study’s fourth aim, reliability and validity were assessed for all 4 multi-item scales. Internal consistency reliabilities of all scales were high (Table 2). Deletion of any item on any scale would have lowered the reliability. Scores on the adapted Consequences Scale and the newly developed Fear Scale and Confidence Scale were significantly correlated with scores on similar scales developed for nonhospitalized adults,35–37 thus supporting criterion-related validity of the new instruments (r = 0.40–0.73; P = .001) Construct validity was examined by using principal axis factor analysis. Single-factor solutions emerged for the Confidence Scale (73% of variance explained; eigenvalue = 5.1), the Intention Scale (59% of variance explained; eigenvalue = 5.3), and the Fear Scale (77% of variance explained; eigenvalue = 5.4). A single-factor solution for the Consequences Scale explained only 29% of the variance, with an eigenvalue of 3.5 and some weak factor loadings. However, because internal consistency reliability was high and intercorrelations with scores on related scales were in an expected direction and magnitude, the Consequences Scale was treated as a single-factor scale.
The primary purpose of this study was to explore perceptions that could influence engagement in behaviors to prevent falls during hospitalization among alert, at-risk, acutely ill inpatients. Relative to the study’s first aim, findings reflected that participants with a low intention to engage in fall prevention reported low fear of falling, low perceived likelihood of adverse outcomes from falling, few consequences of falling, and high confidence in safely performing risky behaviors. These findings support the tenets of the protection motivation theory,43 because intention to perform protective health behaviors, such as following fall-prevention plans, was significantly related to perceived vulnerability to a health threat, measured as likelihood of falling; perceived severity of a threat, measured as consequences of falling; and perceived fear of a threat, measured as fear of falling.
Our findings also support the link between self-efficacy and incentive to take action, as set forth in social cognitive theory.47 For example, high efficacy expectations, measured in this study as confidence to perform risky behaviors without falling, were significantly related to intention to follow fall-prevention plans. The relationship was inverse, although conceptually consistent, because the measure of confidence was related to performance of a risk-associated behavior, not a healthy behavior.
Intention to engage does not necessarily mean actual engagement in fall-prevention plans. Acutely ill patients may report an intention to ask for help; however, if help is not quickly available, patients who are confident and unafraid and perceive little likelihood of falling may override their intentions and perform high-risk behaviors.
Our findings suggest that fear of falling is a key perception for nurses to assess in designing fall-prevention plans. Furthermore, fear of falling has been linked to decreased postural control, changes in gait, use of sedatives, and increased falls in numerous studies of community-dwelling adults.31,51,52
Findings related to the second aim of the study revealed a distinct mismatch between nurses’ and patients’ evaluations of the patients’ risk for falling. Although all participants were assessed by 2 nurses as being at-risk for falling per the hospital’s fall risk assessment tool,21 more than half of the participants did not perceive that they were likely to fall. These findings are similar to those of a recent study52 in which 88% of 193 inpatients did not perceive that they were at risk for falling. In addition, few participants in our study reported being afraid of falling, and few thought they were likely to be injured if they did fall. Furthermore, 10% did not intend to call for assistance when performing any behavior associated with risk for falling.
Surprisingly, no participants fell after enrollment in the study. Because of the mismatch between nurses’ and patients’ assessments of the risk for falls and because no patients fell, could it be that nurses’ assessments were not valid and that participants were not at risk for falling? Perhaps the hospital’s assessment tool did not provide information accurately predictive of patients who might fall. In contrast to earlier reports of the tool’s specificity and sensitivity in hospitalized patients,21 a recent study53 showed that the results of using this tool were not accurately predictive of inpatients who fell.
A competing explanation for the finding that patients did not fall after enrollment in the study is that participants may have experienced a heightened awareness of the danger of falls after completing the survey. Although fall-prevention information was not provided during data collection, fall-prevention messages from the survey may have become encased in a positive nurse-patient relationship, thus increasing the likelihood that participants might have followed fall-prevention plans. Further study is needed to evaluate changes in behavior associated with a risk for falling after a 15- to 30-minute exposure to fall-prevention questions in the context of a nurse-patient relationship.
If help is not available, patients may override their intentions and perform high-risk behaviors.
Our findings have implications for nurses caring for acutely ill patients. Nurses should assess each patient’s risk factors, including fall-related perceptions, and then integrate information on specific risk factors into a fall-prevention plan.53–57 Nurses can tailor communication about falls to fit a patient’s perceptions and use the teach-back method to determine how much and how well the patient comprehends and recalls what the nurse told them.56,57 Because research52 suggests that inpatients may not call for help for fear of losing their independence, nurses can emphasize the temporary nature of the activity restrictions. The aim is to create a realistic appraisal of risk without undue anxiety and to provide hospitalized patients with resources and information to make safe decisions.45
Instrumentation for Fall-Related Perceptions
Currently, the only instruments available to measure fall-related perceptions among inpatients are the scales and items used in this study. Reliability and validity of the Confidence Scale, Fear Scale, and Intention Scale were acceptable but require further evaluation. Revision of the Consequences Scale may be warranted, because all adverse events listed may not have relevance for hospitalized patients. A shortened version of this study’s survey is being tested by the research team for possible usefulness as a clinical tool.
One limitation of our study was the use of a single-site, convenience sample. Second, because of social desirability, patients may have overstated intentions to engage in fall prevention.
We have several recommendations for future research. Studies are needed that do the following: measure actual engagement in behaviors to prevent falls, rather than simply intention to engage; use qualitative methods to identify relevant perceptions beyond those explored in our study; assess the effectiveness of nursing strategies in which fall-prevention education is individually tailored and embedded in a trusting nurse-patient relationship; and test the Schmid21 fall-risk assessment for predictive ability in inpatients. Furthermore, the development of a conceptual framework for engagement in fall-prevention activities could guide research and contribute to the attainment of national patient safety goals.
In conclusion, inpatients’ intentions to engage in behaviors to prevent falls were related to patients’ perceptions of confidence, fear, and likelihood of adverse outcomes from a fall. More than half of the inpatients at risk for falling did not perceive a high likelihood of falling. New strategies are needed to shape the perceptions of patients at risk for falls and to engage acutely ill, alert patients in staying safe during hospitalization.

Puccini’s most expressive opera draws from a collection of true-life sketches describing life among the original bohemians, the poor artists of Paris’s Latin Quarter. Hungry but cheerful, the poet Rodolfo shares a garret with the painter Marcello and two others. One moonlit Christmas Eve, the frail seamstress Mimi comes to Rodolfo’s door for help, and the two fall passionately in love, while Marcello carries on a turbulent affair with flirtatious Musetta. But Rodolfo is impossibly jealous of Mimi, and the two regretfully part, until Musetta reveals that Mimi is dying of consumption. Rodolfo flies to Mimi’s side, and the lovers are united, only to be separated forever by Mimi’s death.

I have a theory that all good books fall into one of two categories. Some are good like Oreos or Amanda Bynes movies: They probably won’t win a Pulitzer Prize anytime soon, but they’re compelling and comforting and impossible to put down. Others are good like quinoa and Oscar-winning documentaries: They might be a little bit less accessible, but they offer something real and sustaining, and they change the way you move through the world. And then there are the rare, best books that can do both, making you a better person in painless, wildly entertaining ways. That’s Marisa de los Santos’s gift. Her books are consummate page-turners, imbued with all the mystery twists and will-they-or-won’t-they tension of a beach read, but they’re also beautifully crafted, deeply felt and consistently life-affirming. While de los Santos’s latest novel, “I’ll Be Your Blue Sky,” might not shine quite as bright as those that came before it, it still has that signature cocktail of wit and wonder that makes de los Santos great.
“I’ll Be Your Blue Sky” revisits the characters of de los Santos’s earlier novels, “Love Walked In” and “Belong to Me,” a few years down the road. Clare Hobbes is all grown up and about to marry Zach, a man who is, “So generally, generically marriageable it was almost funny.” Zach is smart, handsome and determined to be a good person despite his troubled past, but Clare can’t shake the feeling that their relationship isn’t quite right. On her wedding day, she serendipitously meets Edith Herron, an old woman who gives her the courage to follow her instincts and break off the engagement. Weeks later, Clare discovers that Edith has died and left her a New England beach house, a safe haven where Clare can pick up the pieces of her broken heart. But everything at Blue Sky House isn’t what it seems, and Clare and her childhood friend Dev set out on an adventure to unveil the mysteries of Edith’s past.
It would be easy to pigeonhole this book into the ill-defined and commonly maligned category of “women’s fiction,” where so many good stories go to die. Ignoring for the moment the larger problem of how our society values content aimed at women, “I’ll Be Your Blue Sky” does conform to some of the clichés of the genre. It’s clear, within the first few chapters, who Clare will end up with (which points to another cliché — the idea that the heroine has to end up with anyone at all). The female relationships are lovely and supportive and aspirational, but they struggle to pass the Bechdel test. The story is interested in love — its complexities and paradoxes and purities — more than anything else, at the expense of hard-hitting social criticism or intellectual theorizing.
But within that “women’s fiction” framework, de los Santos works magic. She’s a sharp observer of the details, “All the small, scattered pieces of the precious and luminous ordinary,” and as a result her world and its characters buzz with life and authenticity. If the relationship-centric subject matter seems cliché, it’s executed with such clear-eyed sensitivity as to be completely irresistible, even to a card-carrying cynic. De los Santos writes fiction like a poet, every word lovingly chosen, and in her capable hands even the simplest things sparkle.
Rather than “women’s fiction,” it might be more accurate to categorize this book as magical realism. The parameters of Clare and Edith’s world are certainly different than our own: No mystery is unsolvable, no coincidence is impossible and happy endings are guaranteed. But does it really matter if this fantasy world she creates, where the people are all a degree better than we know ourselves to be, isn’t as realistic as realistic fiction would like? It’s still delightful, clever and emotionally resonant in a way that continues to echo long after the final page. I’ve had enough of reality. Bring me more magic, please.

Interested in writings articles about some linguistic and anthropological issues, and about other issues.
1.definition of volunteering
Volunteering is generally defined as unpaid activity in which someone devotes his time helping other people. It is considered by some people as a good behavior that has many benefits in favor of humanity, and some other ones see it as a thing that can affect the volunteer’s life negatively.
2.Advantages of Volunteering
One point of view in favor of engaging in voluntary work activity is that it makes a person to be more confident by giving him an opportunity to try some new things and build a real sense of achievement, and it helps him to get rid of the negative effects of stress and anxiety. Also, it gives a chance to meet different sorts of people in various places and make new relationships. Moreover, it helps to learn new skills and gain experience in various domains.
3.Disadvantages of Volunteering
On the other hand, volunteering can be seen by some people as a time-consuming activity. In other words, a person can sometimes spend the most his time volunteering to the extent that he will not have enough time left for himself and his family. That will affect negatively his work or education without doubt. Besides, a volunteer does not receive any monetary compensation for his time. What is the worst thing is that he can spend all of his money in order to help the others. Moreover, taking part in voluntary activities has really some negative impact on the volunteer’s health. This means a volunteer can work in some situations that can create feelings of stress, anxiety, and frustration that would eventually lead to a deterioration of his physical health totally
It seems that there are several arguments both for and against doing voluntary activities. All people are different, and they have different opinions. What is suitable for some may not be suitable for the others. The choice should be left to a person to decide whether to engage in voluntary activities or not.
