U.S. High School Teacher for Short Cybersecurity Classroom Pilot
I am seeking an active, certified U.S. secondary school teacher (ideally teaching Grade 9–12 Computer Science, Technology, Business, Career Education, or Digital Literacy) to run a brief, anonymous classroom efficacy pilot. The pilot measures how effectively my free platform, GamingForLearning.com, helps students learn core cybersecurity skills. I am collecting this data for genuine educational evaluation. What I am asking you to do Administrative approval: Secure any permission you need from your school to run a short digital-literacy lesson (I provide a ready-to-use teacher guide). Pre-assessment: Give my short (about 10-minute) cybersecurity questionnaire to your class (roughly 25 students) before they start. The activities: Have students work through three short, free, browser-based activities — phishing awareness, cryptography, and incident response — at their own pace. No logins, no installs. Post-assessment: Give the identical questionnaire again afterwards to measure the aggregate before-and-after change. Report: Calculate your classroom-level average scores (for example, "class average rose from X to Y") and enter them on the one-page report template I provide, on your official school letterhead. No individual student data (FERPA) I do not want or accept any individual student data, names, or student IDs. You keep all individual answer sheets in your own records. You report only the final group-level averages. What I most need Your honest results, whatever they show. If the scores do not move much, that is genuinely useful — I am paying for your professional time and honest judgment, not for a positive result. Verification (required before the pilot begins) To confirm this is a genuine U.S. classroom, once we connect I will ask you to: Confirm your current U.S. school and teaching role, and provide proof of an active K-12 teaching license or current school employment. Deliver the final aggregate report scanned on your official school letterhead. Confirm your results through your official school channels. If you are a currently practising U.S. secondary teacher with a live class you could run this with in the next few weeks, please apply and I will follow up with the details.

Project Title: QA Testers Needed for Dating App CIS Market (excluding Russia and Ukraine) — Manual Testing Project Description: Hi I'm a product owner based in Silicon Valley, California. I'm launching a new dating app that will operate only in the CIS market (excluding Russia and Ukraine). I need 3–5 reliable QA testers specifically from these countries: Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Belarus, Moldova, and others. Why you: It's important to me that the app is tested by people who actually live in these countries, understand the local mentality, culture, language, and the way people here date. I want to build a product that is genuinely convenient and useful for your country and your people not just "another app." That's why your opinion and your perspective are critically important to me. This is not a "click and forget" gig. I take my project seriously I invest my time, money, and soul into it and I'm looking for equally serious people who want to build something worthwhile. Scope of Work: Must have an iOS device. Complete the full user flow: registration → profile setup → browsing → matches → chat → settings. Test edge cases (empty fields, bad photos, rapid tapping, network switching, etc.). Document bugs with screenshots or screen recordings and clear reproduction steps. Submit a structured report (template provided). Separately provide feedback as a resident of your country: what's convenient, what's not, and what would be useful specifically for your market. What I'm looking for: Basic understanding of manual QA and software testing. Ability to write clear bug reports (not just "it doesn't work"). Residency in a CIS country (excluding Russia and Ukraine). Own iOS smartphone. Stable internet connection. Attention to detail quality over speed. Experience with TestFlight or Google Play Console internal testing is a plus, but not required. What I offer: $45–65 per tester depending on the depth of your report. $25 bonus for each critical bug you find and document properly. Clear test plan and report template no guessing required. Potential for long-term collaboration on future app releases. To apply, please include: Country of residence. Device model and OS version. A short note about your QA or testing experience (personal projects count). One example of a bug report you've written (or describe how you would report an app crash). Start your bid with "QA Dating App CIS" so I know you read the full post. Serious applicants only. I will review the quality of your report before releasing payment. I take my project seriously and I'm looking for the same kind of people.

Urgent Property Legal Advice for Serviced Accommodation Company
The occupier initially booked through Airbnb and, while already staying at the property, requested a longer stay for relocation purposes. We subsequently entered into a six-month short-term letting agreement. I have since been advised that, despite the wording of the agreement, the arrangement may legally constitute an assured periodic tenancy. There have since been issues with delayed payments. Given the nature of the longer-term occupation, I have also requested Right to Rent verification and other supporting information. This has not yet been satisfactorily provided, and there have been a number of inconsistent statements and representations which I have attempted to verify. We have now agreed in principle to shorten her stay to approximately 2.5 months. I need advice on the correct legal way to document this and bring the existing arrangement to an earlier end. In particular, I would like advice on whether the existing arrangement can be ended by mutual agreement and replaced with a genuine short-term serviced accommodation/Airbnb arrangement, or whether continued occupation of the same property would still constitute an assured periodic tenancy regardless of the wording or platform used. I also need advice on my options if the occupier subsequently refuses to sign or honour the agreed earlier departure, and whether any Right to Rent issues or potentially misleading representations should be reported to the Home Office and/or the appropriate fraud authorities. I can provide the signed agreement, original Airbnb booking, payment history, some screenshots information about her visa, supporting documents and relevant correspondence immediately. I am also interested into someone who can draft a new agreement.

I need 125 outbound calls to residential architects in London, working from a named list with roles and numbers already in our CRM (Capsule). The calls are short introductions from a script I'll provide, 30 to 90 seconds with a live person. Each call aims to get a yes to us posting some information and to confirm the practice address. I'll walk you through the scripts and the CRM before you start. What I need from you: 125 dials, with every dial logged in Capsule with an outcome. Each conversation noted with what was said and tagged as a lead or not a lead. I'm exploring AI to assist with this. Plus a short end-of-day verbal summary with me.

I’m looking for a talented long-form YouTube video editor to work with me on an ongoing basis as I grow my YouTube channel and personal brand. My content is personality-led and covers areas including 4x4 builds, lifestyle, gym and behind-the-scenes content. I’m not simply looking for someone who can cut footage together.

BONUS: I'd ideally like someone who can also take each finished video and identify the strongest moments to turn into YouTube Shorts, TikToks and Instagram Reels. I'm already an established short-form content creator, but I'm now looking to seriously develop my long-form YouTube presence. I want someone I can build a long-term working relationship with rather than hiring a different editor for every video. When applying, please send: 1. Examples of long-form YouTube videos you've personally edited 2. Channels/creators you've worked with 3. Your price per video OR monthly package price 4. Typical turnaround time 5. What editing software you use 6. Whether you can also create Shorts/Reels from the footage ⚠️ IMPORTANT: Please don't just send a generic editing showreel. I specifically want to see YouTube videos you've edited. If you've worked with personality-led, automotive or lifestyle creators, please mention this. Looking for someone creative who wants to become part of the journey as the channel grows. ?

Music Lead Personalisation Writer
I’m looking for reliable freelancers to research independent music artists for an Australian music marketing agency. We’ll begin with a **paid trial of 50 accepted leads**. If the quality is strong, there is regular ongoing work available. For ongoing work, you must be able to consistently complete **at least 50 accepted leads per week**. ### Artist criteria Every artist must: - Be based outside Australia - Primarily come from English-speaking markets such as the US, UK, Canada, New Zealand or Ireland - Have **10,000 Spotify monthly listeners or fewer** - Have released qualifying music within the **last 6 months** - Be an independent/emerging artist suitable for music marketing outreach - Have a valid contact email - Not already exist in our database - Not be an AI-generated artist Please use the artist’s **most recent qualifying release** wherever possible. Instrumental-only artists/releases do not qualify. ### Each lead must include - Artist name - Artist country - Contact email - Link showing where the email was found - Spotify artist link - Spotify monthly listeners - Recent song/release - Release date - Instagram or main social link - Personalisation observation A duplicate-checking tool will be provided. Every artist must be checked before being included in the final list. ### Personalisation This is one of the most important parts of the role. You must **genuinely listen to the selected song** and write a short observation about something specific you noticed or liked. This could relate to: - Vocals - Melody - Instrumentation - Guitar or drum parts - Production - Arrangement - Groove - Hook - Lyrics - Dynamics The personalisation does **not** need to be long. One accurate and specific observation is enough. For example: “Really liked how the guitars open up when the chorus comes in against the softer verse.” Generic comments such as “Great song”, “Nice vocals” or “Love the vibe” will not be accepted. Please also avoid automated technical audio-analysis comments involving BPM, EQ, frequencies, spectral analysis, etc. If mentioning lyrics, please make sure the lyric genuinely belongs to that exact song. If you are unsure about a lyric, comment on another musical element instead. I am primarily looking for **accuracy, genuine listening and reliability**. Perfect English or polished copywriting is not required. ### Trial and ongoing work The initial project is for **50 accepted, non-duplicate leads**. If the trial is successful, ongoing work is available in regular batches. For ongoing work, you must be able to reliably complete **at least one 50-lead batch per week**. More work is available if you can consistently maintain quality at a higher volume. ### When applying Please include **2–3 example personalisation comments based on real songs you have listened to**.
