The only issue is why are you not reading this

Advantages: Good quality of writing
Disadvantages: Need to pass by a seller

...magazine that is sold by the homeless and the idea is that rather than begging it gives them the ability to earn money from a legitimate source and hopefully provide an escape route away from living on the streets or hostels and to get back to leading what most of society would term a normal existence. They purchase the magazine from the company and then keep any profit they make on the sales achieved. It is sold on the high street by the vendors. ...
...around the country and can easily be spotted by their identification badge, I also find them very friendly and certainly not pushy when it comes to selling the magazine, they do take a pro active approach but it is only ever an invite to buy and is not pushy or intrusive on people. The great thing is that the product they sell is actually very good and makes for an interesting read. Published weekly it is full of interesting articles on world events ...

Wanna Be A Winner?

Advantages: Loads of comps and tips!
Disadvantages: Boring layout - but is that important?

My addiction began when I was just 16. It was the Summer Holidays, and I was desperate for something to do. Some teenagers hang around on street corners smoking and boozing. Not me: I stayed at home and it was there my addiction began... No, no, no - my addiction wasn't detrimental to my health (well, not really) and hasn't (yet) needed hospital treatment or anything like that. It began thanks to my PC, but it has since been taken to new levels. ...
...really into the band the Stereophonics at that point, so I was probably reading an interview on there or something). On there was a competition to win Flaming Lips goodies (another band). I liked them, but wasn't their greatest fan, but decided I had nothing to lose by entering. I had soon forgotten about this - until a parcel arrived on my birthday, as it happened. I couldn't think what it was: it might have been my birthday, but that didn't mean ...

Nursing Standard

Advantages: Cheap, Relevant to Nursing Practice
Disadvantages: None Really

...practice techniques implemented regularly. A nursing journal can be a vital source of up-to-date topical information, that can serve as a useful reference aid. While undergoing my training I was unsure of which of the many nursing publications to choose from. I was however highly recommended the Nursing Standard by both registered nurses and course tutors and have continued my subscription to this day. Who Is It For Owned by nurses and run by nurses. ...
...A necessity highlighted by the Nursing and midwifery council (NMC) code of conduct. There are a variety of sections within this publication which are always informative and interesting. (forgive me I love being a nurse so am probably very biased in my opinions). There is always something new to learn and you are guaranteed to read what that is first hand in the Nursing Standard. The news and analysis section keeps readers up-to-date with all the ...

Puzzling

Advantages: fun, exercises the mind, varying difficulty levels
Disadvantages: not available everywhere

In recent years, I think mainly due to a disasterous tsunami of the giant wave variety, tsunami puzzles seem to have undergone a name change. The puzzles I once thought were called tsunami can now be found in WH Smiths in monthly puzzle magazines, calling themselve hanjie. These are my favourite form of logic problem, and I've tried many. What you have is a grid. On each row and each column are a series of numbers, for example 5 7 or 1 1 8. A row ...
...squares, then 5 coloured squares, then at least one white square, then 7 coloured squares, ending with an unknown number of white squares. Similarly, a column labelled 1 1 8 will have a single coloured square, then another, then eight coloured squares, with an unknown number of white squares between and on either side of them. The purpose of the puzzle is to use logic to work out which squares must be coloured and which must be blank, revealing a ...
