Arizona Powerball Winner Hoax in Facebook – What’s Hot in Social Media?

  By Seminar Host | December 9, 2012 - 5:49 pm | Social Media Leave a comment

 

Arizona Powerball Winner Hoax in Facebook – December 06, 2012
What’s Hot in Social Media?
… with The Social Network Princess

 

Hey there, I’m Cindy with seenBEST Web Design.

 

So, a guy by the name of Nolan Daniels decided to upload this picture of himself claiming to have the winning ticket for the Powerball lottery last week. The jackpot was worth over $500,000,000 (that’s five hundred million dollars!). The guy uploaded the picture and then stated that he would give away a million dollars to a random person if they shared the image. The picture has now been shared over 1 million times on Facebook!

 

I came across it through several friends that had shared it on their page, but shortly after the ticket was confirmed to be a fake. This is not the winning ticket. One of the main parts of the ticket that proves it’s not the winning ticket is the numbers. The numbers should be in numerical order, a real ticket would have the numbers in order and this one does not.

 

You can tell that this image was poorly photoshopped, but a little of people did fall for the hoax and I must admit that I almost did so myself. Did you fall for the hoax? Share your thoughts with me.

Student-Tutor, Helping Children Turn Their Academic Dreams Into Success

  By Seminar Host | December 5, 2012 - 4:19 pm | Featured Company Leave a comment

“The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.” – Aristotle

Today’s parents are often surprised to learn how commonplace it has become to hire tutoring for a child. Once viewed as a stigma, the use of a tutor in the past could have been a warning sign that a child couldn’t keep up with peers, or had a learning disability. With today’s status of education, however, a tutor can be a valuable resource that will help enhance the future success of every child, even those who are already bringing home terrific report cards. Modern tutors not only guide students through particularly tough courses, they also help elevate a student’s grades to the top of their class and, in the end, add polish to a child’s college application.


Locally owned tutoring company Student-Tutor provides highly effective and AFFORDABLE tutoring services. They are determined to help every child overcome academic obstacles and reach their greatest potentials. They can help in any situation whether your child is falling behind in a subject, has recently changed schools, needs exam preparation, or simply wants to get ahead with their education. Whatever the needs of your child, Student-Tutor will provide the necessary guidance to help your child exceed academically.

 

Unfortunately, it is common in today’s overloaded classrooms for lessons to be taught at a hectic pace. While teachers do their best to communicate a large amount of information effectively, they do so to classrooms packed full with an ever-increasing number of students. In this environment, and without the time for teachers to dedicate personalized attention, it’s easy for any student to miss important details. The type of details that may be necessary for students to know in order to pass important exams that will help shape their future. Student-Tutor has made it their goal to fill in gaps in your child’s education, helping them in any area they need or want to improve on.

 

Student-Tutor founders Todd VanDuzer and Laura Petersen have over 14 years of experience in tutoring and teaching students in K-12.  Laura earned a B.A. in Psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where she graduated magna cum laude, and a M.A. in Secondary Education from the University of Phoenix. She is a certified teacher in both Mathematics and Psychology in the states of Arizona and California. Todd VanDuzer has an undergraduate degree for Marketing and Computer Information Systems at one of the best undergraduate business schools in the country, W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University.

 

If your child has big dreams, they need to stay motivated and work hard towards their
pursuit to success. Student-Tutor provides extremely effective and affordable tutoring services where tutors truly care about assisting students with lifetime success.  They help students of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities turn their academic dreams into reality!

 

Student-Tutor has already helped hundreds of students improve their grades, raise their test scores, and build their academic self-confidence. How can they help your child realize individual success?

The Grand Canyon, Arizona’s Best Family Attraction – 2012 Social Choice Awards

  By Seminar Host | October 26, 2012 - 9:26 pm | SocialChoiceAwards Leave a comment

Social Network Arizona reached out to social media for our Social Choice Awards and asked our Arizona friends to vote for the Best Family Attraction in Arizona. After 609 votes and 38 new entries provided by fellow Arizonans, the Grand Canyon has won with 42% (256 in total) votes! Congratulations to the Grand Canyon, our Social Choice Award winner for the Best Family Attraction in Arizona.

The Grand Canyon is one of the most recognizable landforms on Earth, and is Arizona’s most distinguishable landmark. Stretching 277 miles long, with steep rocky walls descending over a mile in depth, the Grand Canyon is inarguably one of this planet’s most interesting places to visit. Although its origin and age are always a greatly debated topic among geologists, the breathtaking beauty of the Grand Canyon cannot be disputed. We are fortunate to have such a natural treasure in our lovely state of Arizona!

According to the 42% of Arizonan’s who voted in our Social Choice Awards poll, the Grand Canyon is also the regarded as the best family attraction. It’s no wonder that Arizona’s nickname is “The Grand Canyon State” and the phrase “Grand Canyon State” appears on license plates throughout Arizona. If you have not yet visited the Grand Canyon now is a great time to start planning your trip. It is a natural wonder that you and your family simply have to see to believe!  Whether you visit the canyon for a day or a week, plan your trip ahead and make sure to take advantage of the many different activities you and your family can enjoy.

The Canyon has two distinct sides, the South Rim and the North Rim. Because it is the more accessible part of the park, the South Rim is the Grand Canyon’s most popular destination. The South Rim features the park’s headquarters, and offers a large collection of businesses including hotels, general stores, and much more you may need during your visit. The North Rim’s higher elevation and heavy snow cause the North Rim to close during winter months. Due to its remote location, it is the less visited area of the Canyon. It is ideal for visitors that want to take advantage of the quiet and relaxing beauty of the canyon in solitude.

Several activities you should definitely look into when visiting are tours around the Rim, including tours on bike, jeep, and mule rides, airplane and helicopter rides. The canyon is also a hiker’s paradise and offers miles of caves, trails, and cliffs to explore. The most popular trail, Bright Angel Trail, is 19 miles long and offers a comfortable and safe 2-day hike.  Whatever trail you decide, make sure you read the park’s hiking tips so that you’re prepared and well equipped. Rafting is another exciting way to explore the canyon, you can choose from several options for the length of your voyage to explore the canyon from the Colorado River.

Because it makes for such a fantastic family vacation, nearly 5 million people visit The Grand Canyon (http://www.nps.gov/grca/index.htm) each year. Every child’s visit to the Grand Canyon is always exciting and, to make it even more special, the park offers a Junior Ranger Program to kids age 4 to 14.

With its unique and surreal landscape, it is no wonder why the Grand Canyon was voted The Social Choice Awards Best Family Attraction! Be sure to take advantage of this inspiring landscape and the many adventurous opportunities your family will enjoy!
