How to get expert help with your homework

Homework can be rewarding, if you know how to do the assignment.  It can also be extremely frustrating if you have difficulty in the subject matter.

And let’s face it – while Mom and Dad are familiar with practically everything, there’s no way that kids can always rely on their parents to help them with some calculus problem if Mom and Dad haven’t used that skill in say, forever.

So while some parents turn to professional tutors to help, that isn’t always a viable option for one-off situations.

So what should parents do when faced with a tough homework assignment question from their kids?

How to tell if an online hotel review is fake

If you are a frequent traveller, you may find yourself needing to select your hotel based on a myriad of online travel websites (like Travelocity, TripAdvisor, Expedia, AAA, Yelp, or others) that not only offer you the lowest price for booking your hotel stay, but also offer what should be the best crowdsourced advice on whether that specific hotel will meet – or not meet – your needs.

Travelling for business has one set of needs; travelling for pleasure has another.  Travelling with kids? You may need to avoid staying at a high-end hotel if only because the kids won’t appreciate it as much as you would.  Travelling alone? Maybe quiet, security and safety are your primary concerns.

And as always, accurate reviews of hotel location in relation to local attractions or transportation is always a help.

How to interpret your handwriting

Do you have sloppy handwriting, or nun-sactioned perfect script?

Some people — doctors, famously – have some of the worst handwriting on the planet.  Some say it’s because they are so busy that they don’t have time to write a perfect note to the pharmacist or in your chart.  Others say it’s just sheer laziness.

The Three People Most Likely to be Fired from Any Job

How many companies have you worked for over your career?

Some people find one company and stay with them for years until retirement.  It’s rare to find them, but it’s possible to stick with a single organization for 25-30 years or longer.

Then there are some resumes you run across where people flip from company to company every 2-3 years without batting an eye.  They aren’t looking for long-term stability and career goals, but rather are just moving on to the next great hit.

So let’s look at this from the boss’ viewpoint:

Do you know how to dress yourself? Chances are, not so much

The Modern Man (or Modern Woman) has a lot of rules to learn along their travels in life.

What’s that old saying, “clothes make the man”?  As you know, there’s a lot of truth in this.  Especially in today’s workplace where there is so much question about what BUSINESS CASUAL means, and whether FLIP-FLOPS ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THE OFFICE or not.  (Hint: they’re not)

How much money do mashup songs cost to make?

You’ll recall that Web Watch has written about mashups before.  Some people love them, some people hate them.

Those that fall into the HATE camp have nothing against mashups in general, but just would rather hear the actual songs that make up the mashup rather than the mashup itself.

And that could very well be the reason the site we’re talking about today exists, to appease the mashup haters and bring them together with the mashup lovers.
