Ditch the Household Chores and You Could Go to the Moon!

Ever wondered how long you spend on household chores? It might be a lot longer than you thought.The average person spends nearly seventy thousand hours of their life on it, but what could they be doing instead? How about travelling to the moon 893 times? If the moon seems a little far, you could always climb Mount Everest 8283 times or single handedly sail around the world 23 times. If you think of the time in more common activities you could watch 45,120 football matches, run 28,377 marathons and even watch the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy 7293 times!

Car Insurance: Don't You Just Love Finding Ways to Save Money?

Saving money is so much fun, especially when it is on car insurance. Don’t you just love to see those discounts add up and your premiums go down?

 Ask About Discounts

Getting cheap car insurance is all about knowing how to reduce your rates. You can save money in so many ways yet you may not be taking advantage of all of them.

  • Get rewarded for being a safe driver by having a car that has special features like anti-lock brakes or anti-theft devices.
  • Don’t forget the importance of being a good driver, too. Take a defensive driving class and tell your insurance agent about it.
  • Keep adding up the years without a traffic violation and you’ll lower your rates even more.

 Think about other aspects of your lifestyle and how they can help you save money on car insurance quotes. For instance, if you bike or walk to work, you may get rewarded. If you happen to have home insurance or other policies with the same provider, that can help even more. You can also ask another person in your household to insure their car with the same company so that you get the multiple car discount. Add up all of these discounts and you could save a lot of money.

As food lovers, we understand that taste includes numerous factors like temperature, texture, and of course flavor, but have you ever stopped to think about how your brain interprets all of that information? Lucky for you, we have and we put it all together in a single info-graphic.

The Great Evolution of Deliveries

Sometimes, it’s necessary to reflect back on how things were in order to truly appreciate how good you have things now.

For instance, aren’t you grateful that services like USPS shipping are providing shipping solutions that are slightly more sophisticated than those used during the reign of Cyrus the Great back in 550 BC? That is, unless you’d prefer for your mail to be delivered via horse and message carrier.

Check out the infographic below to discover some fun facts about the history of deliveries and what we have to look forward to in the near future.

The ROI of Great Web Design

It’s fairly important to determine the ROI (return on investment) for all aspects of your business. The reason being that if you aren’t making money as a result of a certain thing, then you are likely losing money as a result of it. It’s possible you haven’t considered the implications of how this applies to your overall website design. The following infographic addresses that very circumstance:

Starting a business? Here's an infographic on hiring web designers...

If you’re starting a business today there’s a few things you need to know:

  • You absolutely need a website, but you should already know that. The real question is where and how do you find a web designer you can trust? This infographic aims to clear up that confusion.
  • CMS’s like Wordpress and Tumblr (where this very website is hosted on) are rising dramatically because of their ability to help businesses launch websites at an affordable rate utilizing themes. While you’re limited to the amount of customizations you can make, most businesses find that a CMS like Wordpress can take care of 99% of their needs with little changes to add.    
  • Costs? A basic small business website could be anywhere from $800-2500, eCommerce depends on who your payment processor is, number of products, etc. But could be anywhere from $2500-$10,000+. If you’re thinking about a technology startup or mobile application, it really varies on what you need but this is usually the most expensive option because you need things built from the ground up more often than not.

The Science of Higher Education

Effective teachers at all levels know that students learn differently from one another: Some learn best by hearing information, others are hands-on (or “kinesthetic”) learners, and still others are visual learners. But did you know that one of those groups makes up nearly two-thirds of the population? And do you know which teaching approach is most effective for each preferred learning style? Do you know which your own preferred learning style is?

Students of certain learning styles tend to gravitate toward professions that match their learning styles well. For example, visual learners are more likely than others to become artists, and auditory learners a more apt to become lawyers. It all comes down to what students are most comfortable doing, and how they’re most comfortable doing it.

Check out our latest infographic to find out more about learning styles, and about how teachers can best approach each learning style!

Real Cost of Vehicle Ownership

External image
Via: Safecar.info | Car safety & Insurance Magazine

Because sales in the first quarter of 2014 have been so poor, many manufacturers have been trying to dispose of unsold stock by subsidizing substantial discounts for new models. In turn, this has been pushing down secondhand values. So before you even begin to assess which vehicle to buy, shop around to see which manufacturers are offering the best deals. Only when you have the best sticker prices can you then move on to the next important factor: how much is the car insurance going to cost? The insurers all play from the same hymn sheets. The lowest rates are reserved for those who buy the models with the best safety performance in the crash tests run by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. You can shave thousands off the cost of owning your pride and joy by picking the safest model.

Now add in the cost of fuel and you begin to get the true picture. Although this often means paying a slightly higher sticker price, the more miles to the gallon your vehicle does, the more you save. Even if you are a senior who only does a few miles around the area at off-peak times, you can still save significant amounts over the time you own the vehicle.

If you work your way through the infographic, you will identify all the factors to take into account. Plus there are lists of the vehicles it’s most expensive and the cheapest to own. Of course all this requires a little effort on your part but, if only to prove the economists wrong, you should invest a little brain power to buy the vehicle with the lowest costs of ownership.
