Problem: Article: Examine not only the value of current sales in the neighbourhood, but trends over time. Purchasing a home for resale in an area where the value of real estate purchases have been steadily increasing is a good idea. Purchasing a home in an area where the value of real estate has seen wild fluctuations or downward trends is risky.  The National Association of Realtors maintains extensive statistics and other data on home sales in the United States. Visit their website, http://www.realtor.org/, to conduct research on real estate transactions in the area where you are considering buying a home.. Many potential home buyers will value on access to good educational institutions, healthcare services, and recreational opportunities. The condition and proximity of everything from parks to doctor's offices to sporting facilities will potentially have an impact on the resale value of a home. Easy access to major roads and highways, as well as public transportation options, can increase the asking price of a home.  But keep in mind that a home located too close to noisy rail-lines, freeways, and high-traffic areas will not fetch top dollar. Accessible transportation links are desirable; direct adjacency to noisy transportation infrastructure is not.  As people around the world rely less on automobiles, buyers will increasingly value walkability and public transit.   Try entering the address of a home you are considering into WalkScore.com, an online service that rates neighborhoods based on access to public transit, and proximity to services and amenities. A home facing a parking lot or a strip mall will sell for less than a home facing a river or a park. However, keep in mind that not everyone is willing to pay for a view. In other words, don't count on a “good” view bringing in top dollar when reselling a property. But keep in mind that a “bad” view will create resale limitations.   Before purchasing a property, research whether there are any planned developments that might impact a home's view in the near future. If a home backs onto a forest or field, ask if the space is protected, and if it might be developed into a new housing development, highway, or something worse.
Summary: Research the value of local real estate transactions. Evaluate the quality of local schools and medical clinics, as well as community amenities. Assess local transportation linkages. Consider the view.

Problem: Article: Windows Movie Maker (for Windows PC) or iMovie (for Mac) provide some basic features, but getting a more extensive video editing program is recommended. Cut out excessive mistakes or deaths. Make sure your commentary is in sync with the video. Watch the video through after editing to make sure there are no problems. Websites like YouTube, blip.tv, Veoh, and Dailymotion are great places to upload your videos. You can also upload your videos to your website or blog.  Watch the video after uploading to make sure everything uploaded correctly. If not, re-upload the video or re-encode, if necessary. Take pride in the quality of your work. Never upload or keep a video that has obvious problems. Consider using a program to compress your video, like x264, DivX, MediaCoder, AVISynth, etc. If done right, there is little impact to video quality and it reduces file size, upload time, and space used on your hard drive.
Summary: Edit your video. Upload your video.

Problem: Article: English has a lot of words that look, sound, and/or are spelled the same, even if they have very different meanings. These homographs (words that are spelled the same), homophones (words that are pronounced the same), heteronyms (words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently), and homonyms (words that are spelled and pronounced the same) cause a great deal of confusion, and result in common errors. Remembering these common errors will help you avoid frequently made mistakes. Common mistakes include:  Confusing it’s (a contraction of it is) and its (a possessive pronoun). Mixing up they’re (a contraction of they are), their (a possessive pronoun), and there (an adverb indicating place). Using you’re (a contraction of you are) and your (a possessive pronoun) incorrectly. Confusing too (which means in addition), to (a preposition) and two (the cardinal number that comes after one). Not using then (meaning at that time) and than (used to compare) correctly. Improperly using lie (meaning to be in a horizontal position) and lay (which means to place something in a horizontal position). Confusing farther (used with physical distance) and further (used with figurative or metaphorical distance). Improper punctuation can mean that the meaning you’re trying to convey can be confused or lost. There are many punctuation-related errors that can occur in English, including:  Run-on sentences, where there is no punctuation separating independent clauses in the same sentence. This can be remedied by either placing a semicolon or period between the independent clauses. Comma splices, where independent clauses in a sentence are joined with a comma but without a proper coordinating conjunction. Instead of using just a comma, use a comma followed by the word “and” or “but.” Using apostrophes to create plurals (they are used to create contractions or show possession, not create plurals). Improper use of quotation marks, which should only be used to indicate that you are directly quoting something someone said. In an active construction, the subject is the thing that performs the action; in a passive construction, the subject is acted upon by an outside force. While there’s nothing wrong with the passive voice, it’s less forceful and can make sentences unclear. Therefore, you should use the active voice more often, but it’s acceptable to use the passive voice from time to time, especially to emphasize something. For example, consider how these active and passive sentences place emphasis on different elements of the sentence:  The active “I paid the bill” places the emphasis on what the subject did. The passive “The bill was paid by me” places the emphasis on who paid the bill. The reflexive pronouns are myself, yourself, himself/herself/itself, ourselves, yourselves, and themselves. These pronouns can be used reflexively or intensively. Reflexive pronouns are only used as the object in a sentence, and only when that object is the same as the subject. Intensive pronouns are used to add emphasis to a sentence and reinforces that the subject performed the action. To tell the difference, remember that if the pronoun can be removed from the sentence and it still makes sense, the pronoun is being used intensively. However, if the pronoun cannot be removed without altering the meaning of the sentence, it’s being used reflexively.  Reflexive: “I pinched myself to see if I was dreaming.” Intensive: “She individually picked each gift herself.” Reflexive: “He asked himself how he’d feel in that situation.” Intensive: “I myself don’t know how I’d react.”
Summary:
Learn the difference between confusing words. Use punctuation properly. Use the active voice. Use reflexive pronouns properly.
