- Chosen by Voters I'm not too familiar with that area in NY. But I just mapquested it and it says it's only 19 minutes away (11 miles). Most jobs require some travelling and commuting to work. I don't think this is an unfair request of your employer. It's work, and right now we need to be grateful we have a job. I don't mean to sound mean towards you in any way, but I think it's reasonable. It's not an hour or more. Home health aids have a very important job and I think if you have the passion for it, and have the care required to take care of patients then that's wonderful. Who knows, this patient may be a really wonderful one for you. :) Good Luck!! 2 years ago 100% 1 Vote

This is from the Better Business Bureau:Recognizing a Work at Home ScamAvoid falling victim to a work at home scam by recognizing the following warning signs in job advertisements:• Boasts no experience necessary • Promises easy money and huge part-time earnings • Promotes having “inside” business information • Asks you to purchase products or instructions before getting “hired”Outcomes of a Work at Home ScamProtect yourself from tempting work-at-home promotions that offer exaggerated benefits by being informed of the outcomes. The outcomes of work at home scams include: a waste of money, time, reputation, and morale. Victims of work at home scams have reported losses ranging from $10 to $70,000. Although the money loss may be recovered, the countless hours that you spend on unfruitful projects can’t. You may also end up selling nonexistent services and poor products to your customers, making yourself vulnerable to charges of fraudulent practices. Types of Work at Home Scams• Assembly Jobs: Involves investing hundreds of dollars to buy instructions and materials to produce crafts and signs for a potential company. After producing the products, the company may refuse to buy your products because it doesn’t meet their standards. • Multi-Level Marketing (MLM): Requires you to recruit new people to sell a scammer's products or services. You often end up making close to nothing when the direct sales system crashes. • Stuffing Envelopes: Tricks people into believing they can make $3 or $4 per envelope they stuff. If you apply, you may end up receiving promotional material asking you to buy instructions on how to get rich quick. The instruction will show you how to post similar job ads for stuffing envelopes. • Online Businesses: Advertises how you can start your own online business and start making money fast. If you apply you will be asked to purchase a pointless guide to work-at-home jobs. • Processing Claims: Deceives you into thinking that you can make hundreds of dollars a week by processing insurance claims for health care providers. Asks you to pay for training and to buy equipment and software in order to get started. The best way to protect yourself from work at home scams is by not applying and staying informed of the outcomes. Remember there’s no easy way to make money. Every start up business and career requires hard work, resources, and luck. The Truth Behind Nigerian Scams• Emerged in the early 1980s under consecutive governments of Nigeria.• Constitutes the 3rd to the 5th largest industry in Nigeria.• May be also referred to as an advanced fee fraud, 419 fraud, The Nigerian Connection, and 419 – a section of the criminal code of Nigeria • Authorities often don’t recover the cash raked in from victims.• Perpetrators are often West Africans, predominantly Nigerians, who work from Nigeria and abroad. • Nigerian scams remain a confidence fraud, not a cyber crime, tapping into all avenues of communications.How Nigerian Scams WorkThe potential victim of a Nigerian scam receives a letter via spam, fax, or mail. The letter requests the recipient to aid in laundering money out of the country or another illegal job in return for a huge sum of money. Many variations of the Nigerian scam letter exists, but most request a small amount of money to help transfer an incredible amount of wealth in return for a substantial monetary award. However, if the recipient chooses to pay the upfront fee to help transfer the money. The recipient will often receive another request for a transfer fee with a promise of even more cash. This continues until the recipient runs out of money or the scammer moves on to fresh bait. Some scammers may even request your personal information, like your bank account or credit card number, so they can transfer the non-existent cash award to you, making it important to know that whenever you give your personal information online or over the phone you open yourself to the possibilities of falling victim to identity theft, credit card fraud, insurance fraud, internet fraud, and more scams. So, take the extra step to protect your personal information and discard Nigerian scam letters and other unsolicited emails, services, and requests. Recipients of Nigerian ScamsIf you receive a Nigerian scam letter through any means of communication, you should do the following:• Discard the letter and don’t respond • Post a complaint to the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) or www.ic3.gov/ • File a complaint to the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) at www.efccnigeria.org/, if you’ve lost money • Write a letter to the email provider of the scammer at the abuse address, if you received the scam through your free email provider. Remember to include the letter you’ve received plus its headers and subject line in the complaint.http://www.spamlaws.com 3 years ago 1 person rated this as good Very informative

- Chosen by Voters * BT Vision. It doesn't have channels in the traditional sense (beyond those on Freeview). However, it does have an extensive Video On Demand (VoD) service with programmes from the broadcasters you mention. It is quite flexible, you can subscribe to a number of different packages, or alternatively just pay for each programme that you watch.* Tiscali TV. Not exactly sure about. I think it is similar to BT Vision, but also has some traditional channels.* If you live in a cable area there is Virgin Media (or other cable operators such as SmallWorld or Wight Cable). 3 years ago 67% 2 Votes

- Chosen by Voters I think the most obvious answer is that most families need both parents working in order to survive.The cost of meeting basic needs is going up all the time.I think that sometimes as our parent s age there is a need for home care assistance in order to enable the parents to maintain as much independence as possible.When we are sick ourselves we would much rather be in our own bed than in hospital.There is also the overlooked fact that some parents do not want to feel they are a burden their children.It also must be difficult for parents to face the role reversal of the person needing care and not being the caregiver. 8 months ago 40% 2 Votes 1 person rated this as good
