Borrowed water coolers

Miscellaneous Comments Off

On the 18th of November 2009 I was given a task by Julie Smith to send a memo. Julie gave me a rough copy of the memo she wanted me to send . It was to be done on the computer and I used a template in Microsoft Word to make sure it was set out properly, and I did not produce any waste. In the job description Julie asked me to put the college logo onto the top of the memo. As this would look more professional. To get the logo I had to go onto the ‘shared files’ system in ‘my computer’ and transfer the file into my area.  The memo was asking for Lynda Jones to return some desktop water coolers that she had previously borrowed from the admin centre. But to make sure this information was correct I checked in the loans book to see if there was a record of them being returned. Next I wrote out the memo and filled in who it was going to, from, the date and the subject. But before printing it out and sending it I checked for errors in all of the necessary ways. I spell checked my work, before print previewing it in order to hopefully reduce waste.  Whilst proofreading my work I noticed a couple of problems, so I had to deal with them. Firstly the spacing between the lines was not wide enough. So to solve this problem I went into ‘page layout’ and selected ‘paragraph’ then changed the spacing. The second problem was the font size. It was too small on the page, so all I did to solve this was select all of the text and change the font to a bigger, more readable size.   After doing this I printed out the memo and delivered it to Lynda Jones, next as requested, I emailed a copy of the memo to Clive Medlicott. After doing this I waited for Lynda Jones to reply to my memo. And sure enough about half an hour after she did. Saying that she had already returned the coolers to the admin centre. After sending out both copies of the memo I had completed the task within the set deadline and Julie was pleased.  After saving my work, I logged of the computer in order to protect files and protect the computer system from people who should not be using it.

How To Teach Math

Miscellaneous Comments Off

We need new media tools, and since the global economy is moving along at a rapid pace, we need them fast. While the internet has done wonders to promote many topics, we need to utilize it more to teach math and science to our children. Children need to be taught the wonders of math, and how it can enrich their lives, and prepare them for fabulous careers in the future. They need to see how math can be practical in things they enjoy on a daily basis. For example, how math can be used to generate statistics in their favorite sport. Math should be fun and practical…not a pain… Is it possible that a math comic could be one of these “new media” tools? It’s true that comics have been around for years and years, but they have mostly been used to entertain. We’ve all read a comic that depicts a super hero, or a talking mouse, or young romance. Why not add a twist to this format and use a comic book to teach skills such as math or science? Hmmmm…. Kids love comics, and if we can utilize this love to teach math and science, they will not only be entertained, but they will learn math and science skills as well. What a great way to equip them with skills that they will be able to utilize in the future. Would you like to learn more about educating our children via the comic book format? We encourage you to visit our blog, as we have much more information than we can relate through this short article. We would love to get your feedback, and learn of ways to help out.

White And Wedding Cake Toppers

Miscellaneous Comments Off

Why is white is the customary color of a wedding cake? Do you know? As the story goes, back in Victorian times the finer ingredients of a wedding cake were expensive and scarce and very hard to come by. If the cake had a white icing on the other hand, this revealed the fact that only the best (and most expensive) white sugar was being used in the baking process. Brown sugar was much more common at the time, and therefore much less expensive. So, logically speaking, the more white the cake, the richer the people who created the cake were.

The wedding cake topper tops off your special wedding cake. The “wedding cake topper” is the simple name for the decoration or figure that sits atop a wedding cake. While it is true that some couples prefer to have the simple elegance of an unadorned cake, many prefer to have that final “crowning touch”, the wedding cake topper, added to the upper layer of the cake. Today the simple plastic “bride and groom” of yesteryear has more likely been replaced by the classic porcelain figurine of today.What types of wedding cake toppers are available today? We are glad you asked. Many different types of figures are available, from the classic poses to figurines depicting some of the potentially “humorous” aspects of the wedding (such as a bride dragging the hapless groom back to the altar). Personalized wedding cake toppers are also popular, while niche toppers such as a marine marriage have their place as well.For more info please visit our blog on wedding cake toppers.

Why Islamic Jewellery in Silver is So Popular For Men

Miscellaneous Comments Off

The concept of wearing gold jewellery is common among men of many nations; Islamic jewellery designed specifically for men however, is usually made with silver, as gold is prohibited for men in Islam. Muslim men although free to wear articles like rings, bracelets and even chains can only do so when these articles are made of precious metals other than gold. Due to this reason, most of the Islamic jewellery designers that target the male Muslim clientele create unique designs set in silver or occasionally titanium.

The most popular form of Islamic jewellery for men includes silver bracelets with inscriptions of holy messages from the Quran, or with personalized messages. For the various sects of Islam, they are stream lined to portray the specific ideals of the people. Shi’a Muslims prefer to wear bracelets that have the names of the grandsons of the Prophet on them, whereas Sunni Muslims opt for either the 99 names of Allah or the names of the Prophet inscribed on them.

Lapel pins are also available with distinctive religious emblems making them a part of the Islamic jewellery line. They are also made of precious metals or alloys so that men can wear them for special occasions such as weddings etc.

Although wedding rings are not necessary in Islam, the modern Muslims opt to present their spouses with these rings as a token of their love for each other. Therefore, wedding rings have been added to the array of other occasion and mood rings being made in silver as a part of the Islamic jewellery being offered to Muslim men. The wedding bands or rings often times are silver and diamond encrusted to make them more valuable. People also like to get other precious gemstones like sapphires, emeralds and rubies set in silver or titanium for their rings.

Silver and sterling silver cufflinks are another commonly used form of Islamic jewellery. Cufflinks can be used with all types of outfits, whether they are the western clothes such as pants and shirts, or the more traditional jubbas or throbes, cufflinks can be incorporated into these variant styles to create a more sophisticated appearance. Cufflinks can also be found in a variety of colours and designs, set with precious stones such as diamonds and rubies, to semi precious ambers and corals to the fashionable onyx ones, you can pick the one that matches your outfit to the hilt.

The modern Muslim man has a lot of choices to choose from when it comes to selecting and wearing the perfect Islamic jewellery article that complements the outfit, occasion and the personality of the wearer!

Relationship Problem Advice – On Again Off Again Relationships

Miscellaneous Comments Off

On again off again relationships can be very frustrating for you. You may be really in love and want to keep the relationship ‘on’. Many times a relationship starts out as being casual and over time one person wants to make the relationship deeper and more permanent. It can drive you crazy no matter what side of the fence you are on.

There are two reasons a person may cling to a non-committed relationship:

Fear of getting hurt – They may pull away if the relationship starts getting serious. Later on after things cool off, they come back. Until they get over that fear a long term, committed relationship will not be possible. So they yo-yo with on again off again love.

Boredom – For some people, they think it’s better to be in a relationship than alone. Then once they get into a relationship, the find that it’s not what they wanted at all.

A commitment in these circumstances just isn’t possible. These type people find themselves dealing with a breakup quite often.

Have you let your partner become too comfortable with the relationship? They know you are going to be there no matter what. So when they get bored, they cut you loose. Then they lose interest in what they’re doing and come back to you. Because they know that you will take them back. On again off again relationships can be very harmful for you. You should have some respect for yourself. You deserve better.

You need to put a stop to this craziness right away. Talk to your partner and tell them that if they leave this time, there is no coming back. Then you have to stick to it. This may entice them to commit to you or you may lose them altogether.

Dealing with a break up is hard, but you can make it through that easier than you can deal with being treated like a yo-yo for the rest of your life.

Finding Those Xmas Toys You Want

Miscellaneous Comments Off

Yes, the ” Finest Christmas Toys ” are out there for the taking, but how? You need to do a bit of homework to locate them. Here’s how…1) For starters, it’s been years since you were a child. It’s likely that the toys that you played with as a child have gone out of favor over the years. We live in the fast paced world of the internet now, where everything is electronic and moves at a bullet pace. Remember that children from different generations generally like different types of toys.2) Consider the Child’s Gender – Some toys are fun to play with for either a boy or a girl. Some of these toys are: board games, puzzles, and arts and crafts. It’s not very common for a boy to play with a pink dollhouse, right? Similarly, a lot of girls do not enjoy playing with army soldiers and tanks. We need to keep in mind that preferences do exist between the genders, and we need to take this into consideration as we are picking out toys.3) What is the Child’s Age? Age is one of the prime considerations when we are choosing that perfect toy. If the toy is too advanced for the child, they can lose interest or become injured. If the toy is too young for the child, they will consider it childish and boring. While manufacturers are constantly trying to improve their toys to ensure that they are safe for children, you do need to follow their age guidelines in order to comply. They can usually be found on the outside of the package. If you choose “age appropriate toys”, you will be on the right track…For the other steps check out Christmas toys.

And The World’s Best Presents For Men Are?

Miscellaneous Comments Off

In this article we will focus on ideas for finding and selecting perfect presents for men. With the holiday season soon upon us, now is the time to get started. In future articles we will be offering our TOP PICKS…gift ideas that we think are so special and unique you should definitely check them out. For now, let’s get started in ascertaining how to find that perfect gift for that special guy on your gift list.They say that one of the best ways to ensure that you get what you want is to go ahead and ask for it. So, why not ask that special guy on your list what he wants? He might not know, or might not tell you, but if you get some input on possibilities you will be that much further ahead. Be sure to listen intently to what he says, and make sure that you write your thoughts down on paper once you get a free moment. With a little deductive reasoning in your part you will have some potentially great gift ideas.Consider the lifestyle of the guy on your list. Is he a workaholic who spends most of his time on the job? Is he a student who always seems to have his “nose in the books”. Is he a sports fan who is constantly glued to the television? A party animal who loves to dance the night away? A health food purist who knows where to get the best organic produce? Often the lifestyle a guy has will determine what they would like to receive in terms of a present.Is this guy rich, or at least on his way? If money is no object to him, why go spend a lot of money on a gift? He can just go out and get it himself. You might want to take a more personal approach. Why not make something, or get something that is personalized? It will tell this guy that you have spent some time on him, not only in selecting the gift, but in making it.Just how well do you know this guy anyway? If you just know him on a casual basis it would be inappropriate to get him something that is too personal. If you just know him in passing, getting him a T-Shirt that says something suggestive would be a bit much. Consider what type of gift you would like to get from him. That should help you out immensely.Does this guy have a particular hobby? Gifts that compliment a hobby are often wonderful to give and receive. Even if you know nothing about this hobby, you can always do a bit of homework and find out more. Why not post a question on the internet, or call your local hobby store, and ask them what a good gift would be?
