Getting staff to learn new skills and gain knowledge relating to their job, and also helping them progress either within an existing role or progress within a company could be seen to be costly in time and financial resources, as well as having an impact ...

I've lived in Cornwall for many years now and I still find it difficult to find decent cycle routes to use that give a bit of a challenge but aren't too challenging, I cover a few of the routes available below: The Camel Trail Probably the most...

Discipline. Studying requires immense discipline, which should come naturally, once you?ve made an inroad; it requires commitment to stay on that road. This rule should apply in the library, at home with your textbooks, and on the web. Unfortunately I?...

Distance learning and flexible learning are both popular and practical thanks to colleges and other learning providers using the Internet to deliver quality degree courses. Essentially, colleges have adapted to suit the needs of students, who often find i...

It?s got to be easy. Or at least work, in an easy sort of way. I?m fed up with fiddling about with new technology. But I know (or guess by the reviews I often read!) that Sony pride themselves on functional yet quality design and ease of use rather more t...

I don't have a working television. Not one which works properly and actually shows live TV. It used to pick up a signal when I lived in London, but doesn't have any means to be tuned into the signal now I live in Cornwall. It used to work on certain ch...

I've just got back from a week near Spain's southern Costa Blanca coast. Well just inland actually, hiring a car and sight seeing and taking in the beautiful valleys of almond and orange groves. The sights were one thing and the smells were entirely anoth...

I'm going to buy a shed outright. No mortgage, no loan, no stamp duty, no worries. It's going to be my shed and my space and I'm going to defend it with the dexterity of NATO. Because I need space. A shed kind of space. Don't ask me what I'm going to p...

Until a few weeks ago, I'd never heard of Tom Toms. I've recently moved, and a visiting friend told me she'd got there by following the directions from her new Tom Tom. I asked whether she'd taken up drumming and the drums had started talking to her. H...

When my brother proudly announced that he'd purchased a TomTom Rider, so wouldn't have any trouble finding my new house, I thought he'd lost the plot. I had visions of politically incorrect 'Cowboys and Indians' films running through my head. "Does ...
