Religion & Spirituality > Thoughts on God Contemplating the existence of God: 160 of 177
Three years ago I answered a knock at my door to find a small, well dressed, white haired, elderly man standing there with a bible in his hands. With a cheeky wink and a warm smile he held the bible up. 'Can I come in,' he asked, so that we can read the bible together and open our hearts to the love of our lord Jesus Christ?... More..
Business > Human Resources What do people want from work?: 47 of 50
Uh oh, this sounds like an exam question from my Business Studies degree course oh so many years ago. I remember it distinctly because the night before the exam I had "accidently" drawn a diagram of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Pyramid on the inside of my pencil case and I used it to answer this very question. Talk about luck... More..
Hobbies & Games > Antiques & Collecting (Other) Record collecting: Who is keeping vinyl alive and why?: 19 of 20
Vinyl is DEAD!' they said, those plump red faced music industry men who were clutching a Witney Houston CD in one hand and a mobile phone the size of France in the other. On the face of it, they were right too. I mean, let's face it, who would really want music in such an outdated format anymore? Who would forgo the crystal ... More..
Sports & Recreation > English Soccer How to improve England's football team?: 31 of 32
Saturday 24th March saw yet another frustrating display by England against Isreal in the Euro 2008 qualifiers. It was a performance that was indicative of their recent form, with players working hard to accomplish very little.

Thinking of ways to reward employees is actually quite easy. However, implementing a reward system that is transparent and fair to everyone is not. My first job was in a factory that made rope and twine, much of which went towards the creation of nets for the British fishing industry. Needless to say, the decline of the fish... More..
Arts & Humanities > Helium Dos & Don'ts How to increase your earnings at Helium: 32 of 32
There are two sure fire ways of making money on Helium. The first is to spend six years writing 10,000 articles on a variety of topics, post them, and watch the money trickle in. The second is to write a small number of entertaining, well written articles and then promote them really well on other websites. Obviously, in ter... More..
Relationships & Family > Cheating Spouses & Affairs Are virtual relationships taking precedence over real life relationships?: 23 of 23
In her fourth email Rebecca, a dancer and part-time model from Dallas in the United States, declared her undying love and wanted me to participate in a whirl wind transatlantic virtual love affair that she felt would be enhanced if it involved me doing naked handstands in front of a web cam. How could I refuse? I mean, she l... More..
Business > Human Resources Tips for writing an employee handbook: 18 of 18
An effective Employee Handbook will bring several important benefits to an organisation. For management most of those benefits relate to the prevention of employee disputes, the prevention of complaints claims to an Employment Tribunal and most importantly of all prevention of financial awards being imposed against the Compa...

Business > Human Resources Tips for employee orientation: 16 of 16
The way in which a new person is introduced to a new post on recruitment or transfer can have a profound effect on how quickly and successfully the individual settles into the work environment. It is an intimidating time for anyone, but for people with disabilties it can be particularly difficult. For example, a person in a ... More..
