Which are some of the popular businesses that follow the Uber for X model
Uber debuted 11 years ago in March 2009 with the mission to make people embrace the concept of on-demand ride services. In other words, it paved the way for ride-hailing business to thrive greatly. The people could use Uber to book a taxi cab as and when required. This innovative approach faced a boom in growth and fame, and it formed another business sector primarily catering to on-demand services. That's right; there was an evolution in the rise of new businesses that operate under the Uber for X model.

The Key to Reaching Television Nirvana
I know this may be hard for you to believe, but I, a writer, have a problem finishing things. It has plagued my life from an early age. When I first started writing stories I would conjure these huge, fantastical worlds, spread over page upon page of scrawl, displaying imagination far beyond my single figure age…until the ending. Looking back, I don’t know how much I was affected by 80’s popular culture, but every story I wrote, no matter how complex or involved, ended in the same variation of ‘Then they woke up and it was all a dream.’

Things Kids Say: Myth vs Fact
I got completely stuck on, “Who decides what is Common and Uncommon knowledge”? Some of the submissions I have read I thought... “EVERYONE knew that”... some I had NO IDEA what they were talking about...so I was having trouble coming up with what I deemed “Uncommon Knowledge”.

“Run Dino Run” Game
So many people equate being a teacher with knowing “everything,” and that is definitely not the case. As a young, enthusiastic, millennial teacher I find myself trying to “keep up with the Joneses” by putting on a facade. My students think of me as the “cool” teacher, and the fact that I knew nothing of this hurts my pride... Luckily, I don’t know everything and I shouldn’t be expected to. And this very story is what makes being a teacher so exciting. With that, there is always something new to learn and my high school students sure show me everyday. You would be surprised at the teens of tomorrow and the information that they acquire. These younger generations are so technologically savvy and I love to see it. It amazes me because there are even things that not only as a “teacher,” but as a millennial adult, that I feel I should know and unfortunately… I do not! But enough of the small talk, lets get write to it… no pun intended lol.

Fruit for Thought
When I think of the words fun and facts usually what comes to mind for me is facts about fruit. Facts about fruit is something I’ve always had knowledge about since first grade when I had received my first iPod touch, and downloaded the country’s most popular app that year: Fruit Ninja. One of my favorite things about Fruit Ninja besides the game itself was the little “Sensei’s Fruit Facts” that would appear after you completed a game. Those facts stuck to me ever since and have found its way into my daily life along with becoming my best friend when it comes to times like these, a time when a challenge asks of you to go on a “fact-finding journey”.

How to Make a Myth: Captain Kirk Didn’t Invent the Mobile Phone, but Dick Tracy Did
‘Martin Cooper can recall the moment when he was at a break in his lab watching the episode of Star Trek when Kirk used his Communicator to call for help for an injured Spock, which later inspired him to invent the mobile phone.’ Forbes
