GOOGLE- Meaning??

 Hi friends,

                Do u know "How Google originated"?

           The name "Google" originated from a misspelling of "googol, which refers to "10 to the power 100" (the number represented by a 1 followed by one-hundred zeros). 

                A googolplex is the number one followed by one googol zeroes, or ten raised to the power of one googol:
10googol = 10(10100).
          The verb "google" was added to the Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary, meaning "to use the Google search engine to obtain information on the Internet. Other names for googol include ten duotrigintillion on the short scale, ten thousand sexdecillion on the long scale, or ten sexdecilliard on the Peletier long scale.

                If you see GOOGLE which can be Go and Ogle
                 Go means Leave ,go away ,go off,set off
                 Ogle means Look at, gaze at, observe 


So as per my understanding Google means Get away of Puzzlement and have some clarification !!

IMPROVE YOUR MEMORY!!

 Hi,

        Everyone can take steps to improve their memory, and with time and practice most people can gain the ability to memorize seemingly impossible amounts of information. Scientists believe that exercising your brain can create a ‘cognitive reserve’ that will help you stay sharp as you age.

1. Convince yourself that you do have a good memory that will improve. Too many people get stuck here and convince themselves that their memory is bad, that they are just not good with names, that numbers just slip out of their minds for some reason.

2. Keep your brain active. The brain is not a muscle, but regularly “exercising” the brain actually does keep it growing and spurs the development of new nerve connections that can help improve memory. By developing new mental skills—especially complex ones such as learning a new language or learning to play a new musical instrument—and challenging your brain with puzzles and games you can keep your brain active and improve its physiological functioning.


3. Exercise daily. Regular aerobic exercise improves circulation and efficiency throughout the body, including in the brain, and can help ward off the memory loss that comes with aging. Exercise also makes you more alert and relaxed, and can thereby improve your memory uptake, allowing you to take better mental “pictures.”


4. Reduce stress. Chronic stress, although it does not physically damage the brain, can make remembering much more difficult. Even temporary stresses can make it more difficult to effectively focus on concepts and observe things. Try to relax, regularly practice yoga or other stretching exercises, and see a doctor if you have severe chronic stress.


5. Eat well and eat right.  A healthy diet, however, contributes to a healthy brain, and foods containing antioxidants—broccoli, blueberries, spinach, and berries, for example—and Omega-3 fatty acids appear to promote healthy brain functioning. Feed your brain with such supplements as Thiamine, Vitamin E, Niacin and Vitamin B-6. Grazing, eating 5 or 6 small meals throughout the day instead of 3 large meals, also seems to improve mental functioning (including memory) by limiting dips in blood sugar, which may negatively affect the brain.

6. Take better pictures. Often we forget things not because our memory is bad, but rather because our observational skills need work. One common situation where this occurs (and which almost everyone can relate to) is meeting new people. Often we don’t really learn people’s names at first because we aren’t really concentrating on remembering them. You’ll find that if you make a conscious effort to remember such things, you’ll do much better. 


7. Give yourself time to form a memory. Memories are very fragile in the short-term, and distractions can make you quickly forget something as simple as a phone number. The key to avoid losing memories before you can even form them is to be able to focus on the thing to be remembered for a while without thinking about other things, so when you’re trying to remember something, avoid distractions and complicated tasks for a few minutes.

8. Group things you need to remember. Random lists of things (a shopping list, for example) can be especially difficult to remember. To make it easier, try categorizing the individual things from the list. If you can remember that, among other things, you wanted to buy four different kinds of vegetables, you’ll find it easier to remember all four.

9. Try meditation. Research now suggests that people who regularly practice “mindfulness” meditation are able to focus better and may have better memories. Mindfulness (also known as awareness or insight meditation) is the type commonly practiced in Western countries and is easy to learn.

10. Sleep well. The amount of sleep we get affects the brain’s ability to recall recently learned information. Getting a good night’s sleep – a minimum of seven hours a night – may improve your short-term memory and long-term relational memory.

CELEBRATE GROWING OLDER!!

  Hi,

           Today let me share with you an interesting Topic:

        Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio

        "To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 25 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written. My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:"


  1.  Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
  2.  When in doubt, just take the next small step.
  3.  Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
  4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
  5.  Pay off your credit cards every month.
  6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
  7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
  8.  It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
  9. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
  10. Everything can change in the blink of an eye.. But don't worry; God never blinks.
  11.  Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
  12.  It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
  13. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
  14. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
  15.  Frame every so-called disaster with these words ''In five years, will this matter?".
  16.  Always choose life.
  17. Forgive everyone everything.
  18. What other people think of you is none of your business.
  19.  Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
  20. Believe in miracles.
  21. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
  22. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.
  23.  All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
  24. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
  25.  If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

How to Impress a Girl!!!

Hi friends,


             Here is one important topic to share.. "HOW TO IMPRESS A GIRL??.. Here are some tips:


               Attracting a girl looks so easy in the feel-good movies - boy meets girl, and the attraction is instant. But in reality, you have to know how to attract a girl and act accordingly before you can really draw her to your attention. Use these proven tips on how to attract a girl and watch her return your interest.
 
      Think attractive: How would you attract that gorgeous woman if you don't think you are attractive? Appreciate your looks and your body as they are now. If you feel attractive, a girl would most likely pick up on this; but if you feel ugly, she will also sense this. 

         Of course, this does not mean that you do not have to improve yourself physically if you find you can still lose some weight or work out for physical fitness. However, feeling attractive as you are now will help you draw women in.


     Confidence is key: A confident man is very appealing to women. And it does not have to be a "loud" kind of confidence. A man who exudes quiet confidence in things he does is far more attractive than a man who boasts of his accomplishments. 

           In fact, a man who boasts may actually have an underlying sense of insecurity, and thus, is not confident at all. This is definitely not how to attract a girl

           So, when you talk to a girl, exude confidence. If you have to talk about your accomplishments, mention them only briefly and lightly, in the context of a personal story.


      Be captivated: When you're talking to her, show that you're interested in every word she says. Make eye contact. Lean forward. Nod at appropriate moments. Do not check out other people, especially other women, while talking to her. Give her your full attention.


    Give sincere compliments: A girl likes being appreciated. Find something you really like about her (it may be what attracted you to her in the first place) and compliment her on it. The more specific the compliment is, the better.
Never, ever give fake compliments. The girl will eventually see through you if you do. And besides, if you like her, why would you need to fake a compliment? 


    Make her laugh: A good sense of humor is one of the best assets a man can have in attracting a girl. Laughter can bring instant connection in a conversation. In addition, the girl will most likely be sure to remember you. Recall any previous experience when another person made you laugh and feel good, then apply that experience to the girl you're attracted to.


         Sometimes, you don't exactly need to make her laugh, but keep the conversation light and fun.

WHY DO WE HAVE A PRAYER ROOM??

Hi friends,

               
              Do you know "Why Do we have Prayer room separately to Worship god"???

                    Most Indian homes have a prayer room or altar. A lamp is lit and the Lord worshipped each day. Other spiritual practices like japa (repetition of the Lord's name), meditation, paaraayana (reading of the scriptures), prayers, and devotional singing etc is also done here.

              The Lord is the entire creation. He is therefore the true owner of the house we live in too. The prayer room is the Master room of the house. We are the earthly occupants of His property. This notion rids us of false pride and possessiveness.

             The ideal attitude to take is to regard the Lord as the true owner of our homes and us as caretakers of His home. But if that is rather difficult, we could at least think of Him as a very welcome guest.

              Also the Lord is all pervading. To remind us that He resides in our homes with us, we have prayer rooms. Without the grace of the Lord, no task can be successfully or easily accomplished. We invoke His grace by communing with Him in the prayer room each day and on special occasions.

             Each room in a house is dedicated to a specific function like the bedroom for resting, the drawing room to receive guests, the kitchen for cooking etc. The furniture, decor and the atmosphere of each room are made conducive to the purpose it serves. So too for the purpose of meditation, worship and prayer, we should have a conducive atmosphere – hence the need for a prayer room.

             Sacred thoughts and sound vibrations pervade the place and influence the minds of those who spend time there. Spiritual thoughts and vibrations accumulated through regular meditation, worship and chanting done there pervade the prayer room. Even when we are tired or agitated, by just sitting in the prayer room for a while, we feel calm, rejuvenated and spiritually uplifted.

TIPS FOR MAKING UR WEBSITE GOOD!!

Hi friends,

        Im hereby giving you some basic tips for attracting Visitors  to develop a good Web
Design!! As a web developer, the first thing you need is a portfolio website.It should represent you, but it should also be designed to convert your visitors to clients.

        Here are a few tips for making your website convert better, get you more jobs, and bring in more money:


1. GRAB VISITOR'S ATTENTION:


               Basically, you want to grab your visitors' attention within the first 5 seconds or you'll lose them for good. The average visitor will quickly glance at your site and if nothing catches their attention, they will bounce out. Have 10 people go to your website, spend just 5-7 seconds reading, and then answer this question:


                 Was there anything on the website that grabbed your attention and made you want to find out more?


2) USE AN ATTENTION GRABBING HEADLINE:


                   Your headline should be the first thing they see, it should grab their attention, and force them to keep reading. 80% of your visitors will read your headline, it's very important. A good headline is specific to only you or your company. If it could work on someone else's site- it's not specific enough.


3)MAKE YOUR VISITOR'S TAKE ACTION:


                Once you have visitors, you want them to get a quote, contact you for more information, or leave their name and email address.The best way to get their information is to offer something in return.


Here are a few ideas:
- a report you wrote about how to avoid web developer scam artists
- an article you wrote about why everyone needs a website
- a case study of a website you developed and how much the business' income increased


              Your offer should be something they just have to have. This will help you build credibility as an expert in your field, build trust, and increase your chances of doing business with them in the future.

Oral Language Skills!!

Hi friends,
         
              Today let us discuss about "ORAL LANGUAGE SKILLS".. Oral language is not just speaking. It is a large set of skills that encompasses listening comprehension, understanding and producing complex language, vocabulary and word knowledge, grammatical knowledge, phonological skills, and so much more. 
          
A Few Strategies for Building Oral Language Skills:

1) Show and Tell: Students bring an item from home that they want to talk about and there is a precious question and answer session that ensues.

2) Daily Oral Language (D.O.L.): Traditionally, this is an activity where each day, there is a prompt written on the board for students, such as a sentence written with incorrect grammar for students to correct individually. I prefer to have the students create grammatically correct sentences in small groups (like their tables or with a partner). Show the vocabulary word and have students talk about its meaning together in a small group and have them draw a group picture representing that word.

3) Dramatic Vocabulary: The students get in a circle and the teacher has a set of cards with that week’s vocabulary words on them (the students can make these cards in groups before the activity for added learning). 

4) Word Wall: I think it is used mostly in elementary and middle school, but I can see its value in secondary classrooms with added elements, such as grouping by prefix, suffix, roots, etc. Basically, it is a wall of words that are frequently used in the classroom that are posted for easy reference. Teachers, feel free to comment on how you elaborate on the classic Word Wall.


5) Debates and “Take A Stand” activities: You can start out by providing a prompt for a related lesson, such as “Every student should wear uniforms to school” for a lesson on persuasive writing. Place a line of masking tape in your classroom that ranges from “strongly agree” to “strongly disagree” with “not sure” in the middle. 

            Have students “take a stand” on where they fall on the continuum. Then, group the students to form teams for a debate on the issue (“not sure” kids can be equally divided or be their own group). From there, you can provide reading materials for the students to support their argument, or begin a research project for students to find their own material for a debate.

6) Listening Activities: For students, teaching listening skills can be in the form of teaching good note-taking skills during lecture. Give the class a list of key phrases that they want to listen for in a lecture such as, “This is important..”, “One of the main things…” “The first thing you have to do is…, etc”, “You will need to know…” To begin, you could ring a little bell or something when you use the key phrase, then transfer that job to a student.

7) Fancy Tech Stuff: I must admit, there are many many tech applications that frighten me with their newfangledness. However, I really think that we should be harnessing the students’ natural interest in tech and social media. 

              Maybe kids across the country could Sykpe-talk to each other about an issue/project/modern day pen pal thingy, build a personal word or spelling dictionary in their iPhones/iTouches, find an App for site words (there’s an app for that!), making a classroom Podcast, etc.

Best Ways to Prevent Discipline Problems!!

Hi,
   

        Today let me discuss with you about "Student behavior problems"..

            It may be the single biggest reason teachers get stressed and leave the teaching profession. Too often, teacher preparatory programs send smart, qualified teachers into classrooms with little or no skills for handling behavior disasters. Student teaching may prepare teachers for real-life teaching, but more often than not, the student teaching environment may not represent the actual teaching placement.

Two Key Strategies:


          There are two main strategies teachers need to maintain order in class. 
  • One is a proactive approach to discipline. These are things you can do before an issue flares up in your class.
  •  The second strategy is reactive. These are appropriate responses and plans teachers use after a bad behavior has emerged in class.
   Every student is unique, and that means every class is its own dynamic. Throughout the year, students have experiences with you or their peers that may trigger behaviors and make conducting class seem impossible. If you feel overwhelmed, it’s time to step back and take a hard look at your approach to behavior.

The Art of Giving !!!

Hi,

        "Rivers do not drink their own water, nor do tree eat their own fruit, nor do rain clouds eat the grains reared by them. The wealth of the noble is used solely for the benefit of others? Even after accepting that giving is good and that one must learn to give, several questions need to be answered.

                      The first question is when should one give? 

We all know the famous incident from Mahabharat.

                 Yudhisthir, asks a beggar seeking alms to come the next day. On this, Bhim rejoices, that Yudhisthir his brother, has conquered death! For he is sure that he will  be around tomorrow to give. Yudhisthir gets the message. One does not know really whether one will be there tomorrow to give!The time to give therefore is now.

       The next question is 'how much to give?

                   One recalls the famous incident from history. Rana Pratap was reeling after defeat from the Moghals. He had lost his army, he had lost his wealth, and most important he had lost hope, his will to fight. At that time in his darkest hour, his erstwhile minister Bhamasha came seeking him and placed his entire fortune at the disposal of Rana Pratap. With this, Rana Pratap raised an army and lived to fight another day.

The answer to this question how much to give is  "Give as much as you can!

        The next question is what to give?

           It is not only money that can be given. It could be a flower or even a smile. It is not how much one gives but how one gives that really matters. When you give a smile to a stranger that may be the only good thing received by him in days and weeks!

              "You can give anything but you must give with your heart!

           One also needs answer to this question whom to give?

              Many times we avoid giving by finding fault with the person who is seeking. However, being judgmental and rejecting a person on the presumption that he may not be the most deserving is not justified.
     
                   “Give without being judgmental!

             Next we have to answer 'How to give?


           Coming to the manner of giving, one has to ensure that the receiver does not feel humiliated, nor the giver feels proud by giving. In giving follow the advice, ’Let not your left hand know what your right hand gives? Charity without publicity and fanfare is the highest form of charity.
 
                    'Give quietly!

                   While giving let not the recipient feel small or humiliated. After all what we give never really belonged to us. We come to this world with nothing and will go with nothing. The thing gifted was only with us for a temporary period. Why then take pride in giving away something which really did not belong to us? Give with grace and with a feeling of gratitude.

                   What should one feel after giving?

                We all know the story of Eklavya. When Dronacharya asked him for his right thumb as "Guru Dakshina?he unhesitatingly cut off the thumb and gave it to Dronacharya.

                There is a little known sequel to this story. Eklavya was asked whether he ever regretted the act of giving away his thumb. He replied, and the reply has to be believed to be true, as it was asked to him when he was dying.

                 His reply was "Yes! I regretted this only once in my life. It was when Pandavas were coming in to kill Dronacharya who was broken hearted on the false news of death of his son Ashwathama and had stopped fighting. It was then that I regretted the loss of my thumb. If the thumb was there, no one could have dared hurt my Guru?

                  Give and never regret giving!


           And the last question is: ‘How much should we provide for our heirs?

                   Ask yourself 'are we taking away from them the gift of work'? - A source of happiness! The answer is given by Warren Buffett: "Leave your kids enough to do anything, but not enough to do nothing!

                I would conclude by saying: let us learn the Art of Giving, and quoting Sant Kabir:

"When the wealth in the house increases, when water fills a boat, Throw them out with both hands!

SATURN- AN OVERVIEW !!

Hi,


              Saturn is the second largest planet after Jupiter and also orbits a little further out as the sixth planet from the Sun. Saturn was named after the Roman god of the harvest.

            One Saturn day equals 10 1/2 hours on Earth. This means that Saturn is the second fastest spinning planet in the solar system, again playing second fiddle to Jupiter. One Saturn year equals 29 1/2 Earth years. Saturn orbits 9.5 AU from the Sun. 1 AU equals 93 million miles, or the distance from the Sun to Earth; therefore, Saturn is nine and a half times further from the Sun than Earth is.

            Saturn has been visited by many spacecraft, including Pioneer 11, Voyagers 1 and 2, Cassini, and Huygens.Saturn is categorized as a gas giant planet, with its composition consisting mostly of hydrogen and some helium. Saturn is the least dense of all the planets: If it were placed in a giant ocean, it would float. Its atmosphere gives it an ochre color (yellowish-orange) although cloud mixing through storms may tinge it paler toward white.

          Saturn has 34 named moons and other small moons are being found all the time. The largest moon, Titan, is notable for its thick atmosphere. Titan is the second largest moon in the solar system and a good possibility for a place in which life could have taken hold. An "icy volcano" was recently found on Titan, signifying warm watery conditions, which is considered an excellent medium for life to evolve in.

                    Keep going to professional organizations and industry conventions _ even if it means paying a fee. By continually developing your brand, you will be able to offer solutions to employers looking for specific skills. “The only reason you’re going to get hired is if you’re perceived as being a solution to an employer’s problem,” .

Target your job search:
                   Instead of sending out resumes to every employer, target six companies that you admire and where you think you will fit in the culture. Unless finances become a pressing concern, an unemployed worker should aim for a job at a company where they want to work and where they have potential to advance.

Find a connection:

                  Use your creativity to connect with the organization. Think about how you could get connected to the organization: Who do you know there? Who use to work there?“When you get turned down, ask to be kept in mind if anything else comes up. Check back in three or four months. Companies love to hire people who truly want to work there.”..

Fight Against Fat!!!

Hi friends,


               The fight against fat is going high-tech. To get an inside look at eating and exercise habits, scientists are developing wearable wireless sensors to monitor overweight and obese people as they go about their daily lives.

                The experimental devices are designed to keep track of how many minutes they work out, how much food they consume and even whether they are at a fast-food joint when they should be in the park. The goal is to cut down on self-reported answers that often cover up what’s really happening. 

                 In a lab in this Los Angeles suburb, two overweight teenagers help test the devices by taking turns sitting, standing, lying down, running on a treadmill and playing Wii. As music thumps in the background, wireless sensors on their chests record their heart rates, stress levels and amount of physical activity. The information is sent to a cell phone. 

               The new devices are being designed in labs or created with off-the-shelf parts. Some similar instruments are already on the market, including a model that tracks calories burned by measuring motion, sweat and heat with armbands.But the devices in development aim to be more sophisticated by featuring more precise electronics and sometimes even video cameras. Many emerging systems also strive to provide instant feedback and personalized treatment for wearers. 

               University of Pittsburgh engineer Mingui Sun has developed a necklace equipped with a video camera that records where a person goes and what he or she eats. Before a researcher sees the data, it’s filtered by a computer that blurs out other people’s faces. 

               The device is not smart enough to know whether the wearer ate a Big Mac or tofu. So a researcher inputs the food, and the computer calculates the portion size, calories and nutrients.
Sun’s lab workers are wearing the prototype, and he hopes to test it on real people by the middle of the year.

Speed of your Internet Connection!!!

 Hi,

         Now you can find out how fast or slow your Internet connection is.You could be using your network connection at work, or at home using a dial-up modem, ISDN connection, a cable modem, or a digital subscriber line (DSL). Whatever the device or technology you're using to surf the Web, we'll tell you the speed of your Internet connection.

What is Internet connection speed?
          Internet connection speed refers to the data transfer rate from the Internet to your computer. Basically that means the amount of time it takes your computer to download a given amount of data. Internet connection speeds are usually measured in Kbps (kilobits per second, or thousands of bits per second) or KBps (kilobytes per second). Nowadays with the technological improvements in data transfer speeds, Internet connection speeds can also be measured in Mbps (megabits per second, or millions of bits per second) or MBps (megabytes per second). For example, if you had a 28.8K (28,800 bps) modem, then it would take at least 4 - 5 minutes to download a 1MB file. If you had digital subscriber line (DSL), the same 1MB file would take approximately 10 - 20 seconds.

What Not to Do After an Interview???

Hi friends,


       Here are some  important tips in the topic, "What Not to Do After an Interview?". 

                  In the job search, there’s nothing like performing well at the interview. And after researching the company, practicing your presentation and answering the interview questions with confidence, you want to follow up with something impressive.

                 You want to thank the employer with a gesture that makes the company want to hire you or at least bring you back for another round of interviews. This is the point when some people come up with what they believe are clever ways to thank people for the interview. Sadly, these attempts at being memorable can leave the wrong impression with the interviewer.


  1. If you follow up by phone too soon after the interview, the interviewer will interpret the action as too aggressive. A follow-up call the next day will signal that you lack good judgment and that you would probably act inappropriately on the job. At this point, the ball is in the prospective employer’s court. Any follow up by phone on your part should reflect what you and the interviewer discussed. 
  2. The best advice for how to say thank you after an interview is to follow up with a short thank-you note thanking the interviewer for his time and reiterating your interest in and qualifications for the job. The more succinct you can be the better. An articulate interview follow-up letter or email can only strengthen your candidacy.
  3. Avoid these unconventional thank-you “don’ts” in your job search.

Girl with No Hands gets Pilot License!!

Hi friends,

        Some thing which says nothing is impossible if we want to achieve. Oxford and Cambridge have now decided to remove the words CAN'T and IMPOSSIBLE from their dictionary.



              Jessica Cox, 25, a girl born without arms, stands inside an aircraft. The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.Jessica Cox of Tucson was born without arms, but that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word "can't."
 

           Her latest flight into the seemingly impossible is becoming the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet.With one foot manning the controls and the other delicately guiding the steering column, Cox, 25, soared to achieve a Sport Pilot certificate. Her certificate qualifies her to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitudes of 10,000 feet.

          "When she came up here driving a car," Traweek recalled, "I knew she'd have no problem flying a plane."Doctors never learned why she was born without arms, but she figured out early on that she didn't want to use prosthetic devices.
 

 "Success is not something to wait for : it is something to work for."

World's Tallest Dog

Hi friends,

                  Standing at nearly 43 inches tall from paw to shoulder and weighing a staggering 245lbs could this be the world's new tallest dog? 

                Pictured here in the parks of Tuscon, Arizona, George, a four-year-old blue great dane, looks more like a miniature horse than a dog.

Become a Manager in Engineering

Hi friends,

                Have a great Weekend!! If you want to become a credible manager in engineering, you’ll first need to prove yourself to be a solid engineer. “Sound engineering judgment builds respect and trust from those with whom you work". 

               “Engineering management is at the intersection of things, people and money.” In other words, your technical skills will help you handle the things part of a future management role, but you’ll need to develop key soft skills to deal with the people part and a big-picture organizational perspective to navigate the money part. Here’s how.

Push Yourself Beyond Your Technical Abilities:

          At its essence, management is about supervising, leading and assessing people with diverse personalities, skills, experiences and motivations in an environment in which you yourself are being scrutinized by higher-ups. If you want to be viewed as ready to take on this challenging assignment, it only makes sense to accumulate a wide array of nontechnical experiences and skills.

         “If your company has an annual United Way campaign or some other charity event, volunteer to lead the committee or some aspect of the campaign,” . “This will help develop your team-building and communication skills and demonstrate to your leadership that you have what it takes to be a successful manager.”

Seek Out Project Management Experience:

            By focusing solely on building your technical skills as an engineer, you risk becoming so cocooned in your own work/role that you overlook or ignore the fact you’re part of a larger team, which is probably part of an even larger organization.

            Companies, and their various divisions, have budgets to worry about, as well as deadlines, customers and clients, political realities and so on. So if you want to move into a management role, you’ll need to be willing and able to not only see the broader context in which your organization operates but factor it into your daily interactions.

How to stop cough in 5 minutes!!


Hi,

              We have all been kept awake by our own or someone else's cough.ANYTHING is better than antibiotics. Even babies could benefit from this and the parents wouldn't worry about the safety of their child. And of 

course, it is harmless and free from any type of side-effects.
 

             To stop night time coughing in a child , put Vicks Vapor Rub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime and then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about five minutes and stay stopped for many, many hours of relief. This works 100 percent of the time, and is more effective in children than even very strong prescription cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly.

           I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings on the part of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children, as compared to alternative therapies like acupressure. I just happened to tune in to a.m. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong drugs, so I listened.

          It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, and in addition to have a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly.

           My mom tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago, and it worked 100 percent! She said it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. The coughing stopped in a few minutes, and believe me this was a deep (incredibly annoying!) every few seconds, uncontrollable cough and she slept cough-free for hours every night she used it. If you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effect.
