Q: Some profiles will direct you to click on a link. Beware of any profiles that say, for example, "if you want to learn more about me" or "check out my website." If the URL looks shortened, it most likely leads to a scam site. While some profiles may offer legitimate links, never click on a link if you feel unsure. Profiles with one photo, especially when accompanying bios devoid of key details such as occupation and education, are red flags. Also avoid profiles that depend on professional-looking photos, photos that look edited, or photos of celebrities. Skip profiles that confuse you with many photos of different people. Finally, always pass on profiles that try to lure you with scantily-clad, perfect-looking bodies. For example, many spam bots rely on women in suggestive poses wearing bikinis or underwear. Male-themed profiles may show shirtless men with well-chiseled abs. Scammers are refining their bots, so a spam profile may hide behind an image of a cute girl or boy you'd find next door. If the person looks like a model, it's probably too good to be true. Tinder's algorithm attempts to match you with people nearby based on friends and interests you have added to Facebook. When you get matched with a profile that shares nothing in common with you, it is likely a spam bot that didn't add interests to Facebook.
A: Avoid profiles with weird links in the biographies. Watch out for profiles with one photo or glamor shots. Check to see if you have friends and interests in common.

Q: You may be tempted to hold off on delivering the bad news because you don't want to be blamed for the bad news, even when it's not your fault. However, delaying will often make the problem worse. For one, if your boss finds out that you didn't tell them, they're going to be even more unhappy. Also, if your boss has the bad news, they'll be able to prepare for the consequences instead of being blindsided by them, which means the company's reaction as a whole can be more positive. Any problems with significant consequences should be reported as quickly as possible. Assess the potential impact of a problem to determine when to report it. Any issue that may result in danger or law suits, such as major violations of company policy, should be reported immediately. The sooner you get the information to your boss, the sooner they can take it to their boss, if they're not the head of the company. If the bad news is not urgent, keep your eyes open to see when your boss seems less busy. When you notice their workflow slowing down a bit, go in and ask if you can talk to them. That way, you give them a chance to push it off to another time if they don't have the time right now. However, an important issue, such as sexual harassment, should be reported immediately, regardless of how busy your boss is. For less pressing news, you could pick a time when you know the person will be in a good mood, as then the bad news won't come as such a blow. For instance, you could say, "I have something I'd like to discuss with you. Is now a good time?" Also mention about how long you think it will take. You definitely don't want to catch your boss as they're trying to get out the door or running downstairs for lunch. You could also send an email asking about a good time if that's more your boss's style. Trying to soften the blow with rhetoric is not going to help. Just get to the point. Your boss is busy, and most busy people prefer directness, as it takes less time and they don't have to guess at what you mean. Therefore, have a concise statement to open the conversation with. For example, you could use a statement like, "I have some problems with the new line." Phrasing the statement that way reflects ownership and the acceptance of responsibility. If you blame others, you may be viewed as a whistle-blower or company rat. On the other hand, if you know your boss likes small talk, it can help soften the blow to chat a bit first. Your tone sets the mood. If you treat the problem as something that can be fixed and you remain positive, your boss will likely see it that way, too. However, if you're all doom and gloom and come in with a depressed posture, your boss is going to pick up on that, too. Make sure you stand up straight, look your boss in the eye, and speak in a clear tone of voice. That shows you have the confidence to solve the problem.
A: Don't wait. Find a good time to talk. Get to the point. Pay attention to your tone.

Q: You might find an editor who works for a textbook publisher, an independent editor, or a colleague who works in a similar subject matter. But you need to have at least one other pair of eyes on your work. The editor will be able to help you find the best way to organize and clarify your content. She will also be able to assist in sentence-level improvements in grammar and word choice. When publishing a textbook you can either work with a traditional textbook press or you can self-publish. Traditional presses for textbooks include Pearson, McGraw-Hill, Cengage, W.W. Norton & Co., etc. If you work with one of these publishers, you will generally receive around 10% of the royalties for each book sold. Look up the "Contact" information on the publisher's web site. They will generally have guidelines for how to submit a book proposal or get in touch with an editor. In order to get approved by a traditional press, you will need to provide the publisher with a book proposal. The book proposal will generally provide the title of the book and a 1-2 paragraph summary of each chapter. Make sure you clearly explain the content of your book and why it will be important for your target audience of students. Make sure the book "fits" the publisher's list of books. Do they sell other books similar to yours? If they do, this is a positive sign because they won't have to spend extra money marketing a different item on their publishing list. With traditional presses, you will also have to sell the copyright of your work to the publisher; you will no longer have rights over the material once you sign a contract with them. . Because publishing with traditional presses can sometimes be a competitive process, more authors have turned to self-publishing -- often with more profitable results. Amazon.com recently entered the textbook publishing game. If authors sell their self-published textbook through Amazon for $9.99 or less, then the author will receive 70% of the royalties. This is a significantly higher rate than the 10% that is often offered by traditional presses. You could also make your textbook available for purchase through iBooks' textbook platform or through a personal web site. With self-publishing, you often don't have to put together a book proposal and you can generally retain your rights to the material. However, it is harder to spread the word about your textbook to schools and universities.
A:
Hire an editor. Publish with a traditional textbook press. Self-publish your textbook
