Proofreading: Not Just a Simple Grammar Check

People often mistake proofreading to be something as simple as a grammar check. While correcting grammatical errors is indeed one of the things proofreaders do, a good paper proofreader does more than that.

Some of the things that proofreaders do include:

checking your paper for common mistakes – This includes errors in spelling, vocabulary, sentence construction, punctuations, and grammar. Mistakes in these areas are very common because they are easy to overlook, which is why even the best writers still need a paper proofreader to check their work.
checking for any factual inaccuracies – The last thing you need is to submit or publish something inaccurate. Good proofreaders will help you spot any inaccuracies so that you can make the necessary changes.
making sure that you are consistent in your arguments – While your basic facts might be correct, some of your arguments might be contradictory. Having a third party examine your work will help you spot these contradictions as well as other points that might weaken your argument, or simply be unnecessary.
ensuring smooth transitions between paragraphs – If you want to communicate your ideas effectively, you need to have smooth transition from paragraph to paragraph. If not you will end up presenting your ideas in a stilted manner that will not only be confusing, but also appear unprofessional. Proofreaders usually solve the problem by simply inserting intro sentences in paragraphs that need it, or changing the order with which paragraphs appear.

Google Chrome OS

Google simply cannot keep out of the OS wars and as their entry to battle Windows, they have announced a version of their Google Chrome OS for release on the rising tablet PC market. There is still a lot of work that has to be done for this to become reality for being open-sourced
it is a headache to standardize. But Google has confirmed that it is no longer a rumor and it is considered to be one of the company’s primary goals this year.

Their browser version of Chrome has been out for a while and it has had it’s fair share of bugs, versions and fixes but it is steadily making it’s way. The fact is that Google has managed to do away with most of the overhead that takes space and time for Windows to load streamlining the system for optimal performance. The OS would be coming out soon, though Google is keeping it quiet on when and how it would be released.

Keeping Your Family Porn-Free

I maintain a blog site as a part-time job, and having a 2 kids in the house has made me a little more aware of the dangers lurking in the shadows of cyberspace. The internet has been a powerful tool not just for data processing and storage, but for global communication as well. Millions of text data and images are being posted online everyday. So how does one filter the good from the bad at home?

There are many applications that can help you block pornographic from being displayed on your computer They use distinctive filter methods that analyze whether a URL is safe for viewing or not. However, it may not be so easy to filter images as it is URLs. There are porn sites that allow for the user to type in their emails so pictures can be sent to the address directly, without having to go through their site. This can pose some serious problems for my kids. Good thing there are some pornographic image filters that can analyze images as they are being downloaded, and identify those that are unwanted. The technology can analyze different physical aspects of the images like skin tone, contour, hues, etc. This can act as a reliable personal web nanny, to help block porn images. It is said to be 85%-90% accurate, which is relatively high.

Now I can rest peacefully at night while my laptop is still turned on. I don’t have to worry about my kids sneaking around and having a peak at unsightly images. All they will probably find is the link to the Australia business directory that I have left opened. Having kid-friendly internet access is an effective way to keeping my family porn-free.

Freelance Web Designer as a Full-Time Job?

Even though most see the job of a freelance web designer as something extra, an auxiliary source of income to complement your regular earnings, some are still able to make their entire living out of such jobs and progress well enough in the market to establish them as a near-permanent source of income. Is this the right choice for you though? You may be convinced it is, but the reality could actually be slightly off.

There are a few things to keep in mind when considering taking up a “career” as a freelance web designer for good. First, remember that you’ll be working from your home entirely. This may sound like a good thing at first, but it can easily backfire if you’re not careful – home is usually the place most of us associate with relaxation and getting away from all the stress, so it’s easy to get distracted on your own desk.

Second, working as a freelance web designer means your income won’t be guaranteed. Both legally, as well as in general – you can’t rely on having the same paycheck next month, and you can’t prove you got that paycheck either, so it can become very difficult to take out a loan or mortgage, unless you started reporting your income – which would make it eligible for taxes, of course.

On the other hand, it can definitely be great and very rewarding to be a freelance web designer – you just need the right sense of balance and self-control. You never know, it may turn out to be your dream job!

Using social media marketing for the right reasons

As the evolution of the new social media develops, some things become clearer while other things may seem increasingly opaque. This is because two things are happening simultaneously. Firstly, individuals are learning more about how best to exploit the opportunities which have been emerging since the advent of the new social media, especially in relation to SEO services. Secondly, the new social media is becoming a more complex sphere of social and economic activity. These two trends are then confused by the hype which seems to surround the sector. In order to separate the essential from what does not matter, it can be useful for a novice to be assisted by a specialist firm.

Looking For Cheap College Textbooks

When it comes to a college education, it is a no brainer that you will have to read through a lot of textbooks during your stay in the university. Unfortunately, the biggest problem is being able to purchase them. The fact is that brand new textbooks are unbelievably expensive which makes it a huge problem for middle to lower class earners. Consider that students barely have time to make extra cash, this situation poses a real problem to aspiring college graduates.

As a solution, one alternative that students may go to is to rent out their textbooks from those who have taken the classes before. Since they are second hand and will only be used temporarily, the students only have to pay a minimal fee but still be able to get the most out of their classes.

Another way to get cheap college textbooks is to purchase them in bulk from publishing houses. That way, you can get them at wholesale prices which are much lower than the standard rates. The only problem is mobilizing a group big enough for the publishing house to consider the purchase to be wholesale.

However, in other schools, the administration makes it a point to help out their students in any way possible. They purchase big orders of textbooks at a time and sell them to the students without any additional costs. Also, thy ask other to donate their textbooks so they can rent it out to new students and those in need.
