As distance learning courses go this is a very interesting one but one that caters for an important need none the less. In this respect I think it does a pretty good job. We live in slightly more enlightened times these days when it comes to some types of crime and for a lot of misdemeanours a brief educational course rather than a spell in prison is often the outcome of a Court hearing. This one, as the title clearly indicates, is aimed at stopping those found guilty of theft from re-offending. The meaning of the word theft in this instance covers ... Read more
There are quite a lot of sites around matching people who need information to relevant experts and this follows similar lines to a lot of them. In this case though the emphasis is on gaining instruction so if you want lessons in Arabic or mathematics or perhaps would like to know how to create a Wiki you can search and find an instructor willing to teach you online. Being a two-way arrangement it follows then that you can sign up to instruct or sign up to learn. Anyone looking for instruction can search by the tags or enter a subject or ... Read more
Just a gimmick or the way forward? I’m not sure but then I’m still a lover of paperback books that you can fold in half as you lay on your sunbed next to the pool! I’ve yet to be persuaded about the merits of the tablet when it comes to reading material but that’s just an age thing. This app takes the concept of the electronic book into the restaurant and in particular in respect of the wine menu. With the aid of an iPad or I should say several iPads, depending on the size of your restaurant, you can now ... Read more
When you consider some of the iconic company logos around today it not often you stop and think about the thought that went into producing them. They simply identify a business without the need to accompany it with the actual name and that says an awful lot for the design skills behind them. Read more
Any restaurant worth their salt these days has a website (excuse the pun) and there are enough good reasons for that. People hardly buy anything these days without first checking it out on the internet and where to eat is no exception.Anybody travelling any distance to a town or city, maybe for the first time, is also very likely to surf around prior to departure for an establishment that caters both for their taste and their budget (sorry, another pun!).Whether you run a simple diner or hanker after a more fine dining clientele then ezfoodie.com can provide you with a great looking website with all ...

I have to say when I first looked through this app I was a little concerned that teachers could just pick from a set of pre-loaded comments to appraise the students in their care.I had a fleeting moment of forgetfulness I suppose because thinking back to my pre-computer schooldays things were pretty much the same. Well they were in the case of my math teacher who could have saved himself a lot of time by getting a couple of rubber stamps made containing the phrases, "is easily distracted" or "could do better."With practically every other activity you can think of now made easier ...

Surveys are a fascinating phenomenon aren't they? Despite our seeming obsession with polling people for their opinion on everything from preferred political leaders to the taste of cream cheese they can be manipulated beyond belief.

The more people that take part the less chance there is to interpret it wrongly. PopSurvey creates beautiful looking and interesting surveys that really do encourage people to get involved.
