Now I’ve got your attention with my catchy title. I must ask ” Did you really believe this was possible? “. Surely not, but maybe you clicked on the link because you want to learn another language and don’t really want to spend long doing it.

Clearly, it isn’t possible to learn a language in two days but there are methods you can use to speed up the process. Techniques you can use to remember words, clever mnemonics, the roman room method, concept maps, tools which will improve your memory, and suchlike.

Pah.

I don’t want to spend my time doing this. I’m too busy. What can I do instead. I’m looking for something easier, something more passive, something that can happen around me if and when I feel like learning. And I don’t want to leave the house either.

I have some suggestions to start.

1. Improve your vocabulary.

Write Spanish names on everyday items. This is an easy way to expand your vocabulary, and not only that, associates the Spanish words with the objects, something that straight vocabulary learning does not do. This makes it easier to remember a word when you need it. To prevent boredom setting in, start with the drinks cabinet, wine cellar or plastic bag with the booze in it.

2. Improve your comprehension.

Don’t listen to the Spanish radio. You won’t understand any of it until you are at an advanced level, and it is discouraging.

Instead watch Spanish TV (which can be done over the Internet) concentrating on the soaps (telenovelas). You don’t need to understand them to enjoy them, and the same language is repeated again and again. Look up the meaning of commonly used expressions. As you will hear them so often, once you are hooked on telenovelas, you can’t help but remember them.

3. Improve your spoken language

If you don’t want to leave the house practice on your nearest and dearest. Get them to learn some Spanish. If you don’t use it, you lose it. This is especially true with foreign language learning, and it is important to constantly reinforce what you are learning.

4. Stay Motivated

This is the hardest part of language learning. So book a holiday in a Spanish speaking country, and keep learning key eating and drinking words. Barcelona is a great place to practice them in. In fact Barcelona is such good place to practice Spanish in that you might spend longer there than you intended.

So that’s it. You are not going to learn Spanish or any other language in two days, but if you stick words on everyday items, and watch soaps you will learn something with minimal effort.

PRUNING AND TRAINING GARDEN SHRUBS

“The Art and Science of Pruning”

By Alan Jolliffe

Pruning is the art of training plants. Pruning is not an end in itself. Pruning is a stimulus for desirable plant growth.

Introduction.
Very few publications on pruning mention the relationship between pruning and training when explaining how to prune all types of plants, particularly of garden shrubs. This relationship is vital and must be well understood by gardeners, unfortunately it is not. Often pruning and training is not well practiced in both public and private gardens. However pruning, and therefore training, is one of those garden arts which must be practiced - and practice makes perfect.

Pruning is both an art and science, but there is now a lot more science than art and that is not a good thing. Pruning is becoming a lost art and it needs to be revived before it is lost altogether. The training of young plants is more important than the control of old plants or the regeneration of old plants. Young plants are very easily trained from the time they are planted out in the garden.

Of all the jobs in the garden nothing causes so much controversy and worry as does pruning.

Why do we prune?
To grow large blooms for exhibition or fun using all the plant’s vigor.
To train the plant to best suit the position we planted it in.
To remove the dead and diseased wood from the plant.
To keep the plant in proportion for the position in which it is growing.
To ensure maximum air and sunlight reach all parts of the plant.
To enable the best features of the plant to be shown off in the garden.

Tools of the trade.
The first priority is to make sure your pruning tools are clean and sharp. The basic tools are secateurs and a hand pruning saw. Loppers are alright but can be an unnecessary expense. Secateurs are used to cut branches up to 20mm in diameter after that you can use a saw without doing any harm to the branch. A hand saw can cut quite large diameter branches without difficulty. In fact far to many people use a chainsaw when they do not have to and a chainsaw is very dangerous in these situations. They are also slower by the time you get them started and make the cut, a handsaw is faster and better exercise!

Starting to prune.
Always start pruning from the top down. One of the most common mistakes is to remove the weaker shoots at the bottom of the shrub thus creating a clear stem sometimes many centimeters off the ground. (These are then ’standard’ shrubs). Starting at the top allows you to shape the plant more easily. You can see the plant and get a much better idea of the shrub when finished.

Look for what I call the ‘inner shape’. On many shrubs it is possible to see an outline of foliage smaller than the existing shrub. Removal of the foliage back to this shape is then a relatively easy matter. It is the identification of the inner shape that allows you, the artist and gardener, to quickly and easily complete the pruning of any tree or shrub. You will know what you are aiming to achieve and that makes the task easier.

Once cut you cannot put the plant pieces back on the plant so don’t cut back to far. It is just as easy to come back and take some more material off rather than be disappointed.

Hiding pruning cuts.
One of the hardest things to do is to hide the pruning cut. Impossible? Well maybe. The visual impact of cuts can be lessened dramatically by changing the angle of the cut and the position of the cut. If possible always make the cut beside an existing side shoot so the end does not look like it has been cut off. Try to face the cuts upwards or towards the centre of the plant or towards the back of the border.

Pick those flowers.
The easiest and most rewarding pruning anyone can do is to pick the flowers for indoor display or to give away. This way flowers can be appreciated in the garden and inside the house. Cutting flowers off at the correct pruning position will save additional pruning time later on.

Pruning times.
Confusion often reins about the time to prune many plants. A simple rule is this; “Prune After Flowering”. There is no need to remember which plants need pruning in which months. Pruning after flowering means that dead flowers are removed, unwanted fruit is not produced and new shoots are encouraged to grow. Spring flowering plants are a good example because it is easy to see how this is applied. Similarly with summer flowering plants.

With plants that are tender and likely to be frosted over winter just consider the dormant period of winter as a “short” period. Fuchsias, for example, flower in late summer, are frost tender in winter, and make growth in spring. During the dormant period of winter no growth takes place. Therefore to prune in spring does not effect the growth of the plant. The rule therefore still applies “prune after flowering”.

Pruning after flowering allows the plant to take the longest possible time to lay down new shoots and buds for the next flowering season.

Summer pruning.
Most of the training will occur in the summer not the winter. Summer pruning and training requires care and knowledge. Young vigorous growth can be removed to encourage branching at a lower height in the same season. It may be possible to prune the same shoots twice or even tree times during the summer. This encourages the plant to mature earlier and at a smaller size, producing flowers and fruit earlier in its life.

Root pruning.
Root pruning is not practiced very much. It can be a very effective way to slow down growth of very vigorous plants.

No pruning.
Not all plants require pruning and the same plant growing in different places may require different pruning to achieve the required garden shape. Always consider the individual, plant and its character and its position in the garden.

If you do not like pruning then choose plants that don’t require pruning.

Final Advice
Pruning is not a once a year job. People often regard pruning as a once a year activity. Don’t be fooled by the fact that some other people use pruning as an excuse for a mid-winter or spring cleanup. Think of the plants - they are individuals too and require individual treatment.

The only way to become a competent pruner is to practice pruning, observe the results, correct your techniques and practice. Remember practice makes perfect.

The Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) has cautioned that the festive season will also be a highly stressful season for many, as worries about money, expenses, chores and work will increase. Employers are being asked to ensure that employees do not succumb to excessive pressure by ensuring that work-related stress is within manageable limits.

The IOSH has said that festive seasons bring a number of responsibilities like gift shopping, visiting friends and relatives and entertaining, which mean more expense and effort for most people. Under these circumstances, people tend to become highly stressed as they race against time to complete all that is required for them to do.

The past years’ economic slowdown has also contributed to high anxiety levels in the minds of people. Many have lost their jobs, still others have settled for lower incomes and in general, the financial conditions of most people are not as good as it used to be. Given this, high expenses during this period can lead to worries and tension. In such scenario, if there is added pressure at work, employees may well snap under the pressure.

Festive activities like last minute shopping and entertaining can be very tedious at times, leading to high frustration levels. Some employees, especially those working in restaurants, pubs and shops, are under great pressure during the festive season as many people flock to these places during festive periods. Such employees are required to work through the holidays, leaving children behind at home. Thus they have to bear the additional concern of childcare.

Hence, with worries about childcare, mounting expenses and job security, employees are hard pressed to stay cheerful and balanced during the festive season. John Holden, president of IOSH, said in this regard that employers must keep in mind these factors and be more attentive about employee health from now on. Employers and managers are being asked to keep a watch over employees to ensure that they can deal proactively with stress. Workplace Law offer IOSH Training and all the advice and information needed for managers to successfully manage appropriate policies and procedures and improve upon management skills to help tackle stress in the workplace.

Gas Fire Suppression is truly a enthralling scientific advancement. For me, it the most pertinent case of fire inhibition technology for homes, offices and stores. Their ability how to stop fires is what makes them truly splendid.

For fires to occur, they want two things. Stuffs that burn up would be first and then oxygen would be 2nd. A intelligent and effective means to prevent fires from spreading would be to get away one or the other. This is the foundation concept of Gas Suppression. During fires, what it executes is it limits the bearing of oxygen in the danger area. Without oxygen, the fires power to stay incinerating even when there are ignitable materials around is significantly decreased. This implies that fires cannot propagate and ignite things it may clutch.

Likened to water and foam fire extinguishers, Fire Suppression is not messy. They leave the place very dirty when they are employed. You want to wash and remove the residue they leave behind. In addition to that, water and foam can damage documents, electric or electronic equipments and other fixtures. It would be really daunting and irritating to see that what they protected from incinerating, they wrecked anyway. It would be amusing to see that the substances you employed to put away the fire is the very thing that wrecked the materials you protected from combusting.

Dependent on the area you like to install the fire suppression system in, you can utilise wall mounted gas cylinders for moderate regions. For greater regions, the full-pipe installation is applied. Normally, Gas Suppression system does not eat up big places for it to be put in. You would take to find out the size of the region first before recognizing the extent of the fire suppression process you want to set up. To fend off disorders and malfunctions, seek the assistance of fire professionals.

Getting into circumstance these characteristics and gains, I trust that Gas Suppression is the best fire system engineering purchasable.
