...What elements should be considered when buying a home? Does the age of the home make a difference in the price? What about the square feet of the home? Does having a house with more square feet mean that the price of the home will increase? Well my fiancé and I are looking to buy a home and have come to the conclusion of five factors that we think are the most important. Using statistics, we will narrow our search down from 108 homes to only a few homes. The first thing, we need to discuss is the dependent and independent variables. Since we are most concerned with the price of the home and how other factors affect it, we will use PRICE as the dependent variable. We have other factors that influence the price such as square feet (home size), number of bedrooms, number of bathrooms, heat (gas forced or electric), style (ranch, two floor, or tri-level), garage, basement, fireplace, age of the home, and the school district which will be our independent variables. Out of these, we have decided to pay close attention to the square feet (home size of 1900 square feet or more), number of bathrooms (3 or more), heat (gas forced), basement, and the age of the home (less than or equal to 10 years). We chose these factors because we wanted to know what kind of relationship, if any, they have with the price of the home. To figure that out, we will be doing a series of tests to discuss the price difference for the independent variables. Then we will get the probability and confidence...

...Public School or Home School? Education is the key to reach success in life. People gain an education since they were a child with their parents for example how to speak, eat, walk and also how to read and count the number. Parents give their child as best as they can do, moreover for education. I believe all parents desire to spend much money in education for their kids brighter future. And when children become of age to go to school, many parents confuse to choose the right education for their kids. Nowadays there are two popular ways to gain an education; public school and Home school. Public school is school that build by government for their citizens, it is the most afordable for all kind of citizens. Besides that there is another way to gain education which is home school. Home schooling is not a new phenomenon, but a very old one. In Colonial days, families, including wealthy ones, educated their children at home, combining the efforts of parents, tutors, and older children (Hill,T,P, 2000). Home scholl usually built by private institution. The tuition fee is way more expensive than public school, because mostly home school provides private teacher for their students. The most popular is public school rather than home school. But those two options make many parents confuse to choose wich is better home schooling or public schooling. Some people believe public school is better in curriculum for their children but others think in home school is more focus in learning...

...in-office peers, new research finds. While there has long been a perception that employees who work from home don't work as hard as those in an office, perceptions are shifting, according to a study from Dell and Intel. More than half of employees globally now believe that their peers who work from home are just as productive, or more productive, than those in the office. Remote employees also feel like they get more done from the comfort of their own home. Of those who spend any time working from home, half believe they are more productive there than in the office, while 36 percent think they are equally as productive in both locations. Just 14 percent of those surveyed believe they get less done when working from home. Bob O'Donnell, founder and chief analyst at TECHnalysis Research, told the study's authors that many employees today have better equipment and faster Internet connections in their homes than they do in their place of work. "So, we're seeing experiments where more people are working at home more often than they had before," O’Donnell said in the research. At-home employees cite a number of benefits to working outside the office. The study revealed that 30 percent sleep more, 40 percent drive less and 46 percent feel less stressed. [10 Big Companies That Will Let You Work From Home ] However, working from home does have some downsides.

...technological resources can impose the performance of Home bargains. Firstly, by managing Human resources efficiently this will allow Home bargains to perform much better as the staff will be motivated, willing to help and this then allows them to provide a high quality customer service. Home Bargains must make sure that some of the workers that are either employed or getting employed have accumulated skills and experience as this then leads to a better service as the worker has the skills needed to provide a good service for the customers.

...Spasojevich I have been faced with the decision of whether to purchase a new home or not. Making this decision has taken a lot of thought and planning. I had to look at the principals of economics, the marginal benefits and cost associated with my decision, and the economy. These are all factors that play a vital role in making a decision that I will be committed to for thirty years. One of the most difficult decisions that I had to consider was facing trade-offs. I had to ask myself what I am willing to give up to purchase this new home. I wanted to purchase a new home in a ritzy part of San Antonio but quickly realized that I could not afford to purchase a home in that area. So, I began looking in a nice middle class subdivision that was more affordable for me. I also had the desire to purchase a home with an in ground swimming pool. Unfortunately, this was not an option due to the community pool. I had to determine what was more important to me and I chose to change the geographical location that I wanted to live in and the swimming pool was not that important to me. I was not able to have a pool put in and live in the ritzy part of town, but I am able to have upgrades to my home and it is affordable. When my husband and I first looked at purchasing our home we had to look at our budget and see what we could afford and what we were willing to give up in order to purchase this new home. We had to cut back on going out to dinner three times a week to once a week...
