* At the dinner table, have each person name one thing about the family for which he or she is thankful.
* Count the members of your immediate family. Then add relatives. Then add special friends. How big is your "family"?
* Make some resolutions to improve family communication; i.e., schedule regular "family meetings," assist a member with a difficult task once each week, plan a special family celebration once each month, etc.
* Organize those family snapshots!! It's a wonderful activity for the whole family, and a unique opportunity to share past experiences with the children. Usually good for several get-togethers.

Reminders!

Want a reminder to use less paper?

The Bite
Here goes: Use digital desktop notes that act as reminders on your laptop or phone instead of Post-its. They’re cost-free, tree-free, and never lose their stickiness. Don’t forget.

The Benefits

Paper-free mnemonic devices. Sticky notes don’t use all that much paper, but the average American uses the equivalent of a tree 100 feet high and 18 inches in diameter each year, and every little bit counts.
Remembering to save cash. Post-its aren’t that expensive either (at maybe a buck per 100), but free’s even better.

Personally Speaking...

For the sad few of us in the office who don’t have BlackBerrys or iPhones, there’s always a notes feature that comes preinstalled on your cell.

Guidelines for your child...

Here are some guidelines for the types of play your child may be most interested in at different stages, according to Catherine Marchant, a play therapist at Wheelock College in Boston:

Social play

Interacting with you and others is important throughout the first year. Infants like to smile, look, and laugh. Older babies enjoy games such as peekaboo and itsy-bitsy spider.

Object play

Touching, banging, mouthing, throwing, pushing, and otherwise experimenting with things is fascinating for the 4- to 10-month-old set.

Functional and representational play

Pretending to use familiar objects in an appropriate way — pushing a toy lawn mower over the grass, or calling Grandma with a hairbrush, for instance — is the height of fun for 12- to 21-month-olds as their imaginations begin to blossom.

Early symbolic play

This type of play, common around the age of 2, creates something out of nothing. Your child might play with a shoebox as if it were a school bus, complete with motor noises, for example, or pretend to eat a plastic ring, insisting it’s a doughnut.

Role play

Around 30 to 36 months your little actor will begin taking on new roles. Playing doctor, teacher, or mommy is common now.

Marketing Diversity...

Marketing the fish to the pet shops, however, was pretty much old school: phone calls, and then the owners would go over to the fish breeders or distributors to look at the product. This could be a time-consuming process, often taking the better part of a week. This was further aggravated by the fact that the product is essentially livestock it had to move fast, otherwise there would be higher mortality rates. Business essentially became a race for time, for the breeders to pass the fish on to the distributors, who can then send it to the shops, and the the shops can finally sell the fish to customers and all this has to be done without the fish getting the worse for wear.

All that, however, has changed with the introduction of telephones with integrated cameras. Filipinos are practically symbiotic with their cellphones, so it’s no surprise that in an arcane business such as aquarium fish, technology has made the business cycle much faster (and therefor, there is a possibility of more profit with the increased number of business cycles).

Weapons of choice are either cellphones with digicams, megapixel digicams, and a PC with an Internet connection. Of course, there are some business compatibility issues: many of the fish breeders are looking for a cellphone with digicam that is waterproof, inasmuch as accidentally dunking a cellphone is a very real concern. But other than that, the business of aquarium fish breeding has become fast and sophisticated. Some fish businessmen keep whole photo galleries of fish in their cellphones, ready to sell at a moment’s notice.

Self-Help During Interview...

During interview, you might have the opportunity to ask too. So, watch out for that. If possible, be objective with regards to your questions. It must be related to job and company in general. Here is some common tips...

Asking Questions During a Job Interview

At most interviews, you will be invited to ask questions of your interviewer. This is an important opportunity for you to learn more about the employer, and for the interviewer to further evaluate you as a job candidate. It requires some advance preparation on your part.

Here are some guidelines for asking questions:

* Prepare five good questions. Understanding that you may not have time to ask them all. Ask questions concerning the job, the company, and the industry or profession. Your questions should indicate your interest in these subjects and that you have read and thought about them. For example, you might start, "I read in Business Week that ... I wonder if that factor is going to have an impact on your business."
* Don't ask questions that raise warning flags. For example, asking "Would I really have to work weekends?" implies that you are not available for weekend assignments. If you are available, rephrase your question. Also, avoid initiating questions about compensation (pay, vacations, etc.) or tuition reimbursements. You might seem more interested in paychecks or time-off than the actual job
* Don't ask questions about only one topic. People who ask about only one topic are often perceived as one dimensional and not good candidate
* Clarify. It's OK to ask a question to clarify something the interviewer said. Just make sure you are listening. Asking someone to clarify a specific point makes sense. Asking someone to re-explain an entire subject gives the impression that you have problems listening or comprehending. For example, you can preface a clarifying question by saying: "You mentioned that ABC Company does (blank).... Can you tell me how that works in practice?"

Win your Interview...

To look for a job is wasn't easy right? To take an opportunity to be interviewed by some prestigious company is one great honor right? So, make a good impression at your interview by doing a little homework beforehand....

Research the Company and the Position

The more you know about the company and the job you are applying for, the better you will appear in the interview. An interviewer will be impressed by your interest and motivation, and you will be able to explain what you can do for the company.
Search for the following:

* Office locations
* Products and services
* Customers
* Competitors
* Philosophy
* History
* Recent news
* Financial info, including salary and stock

Prepare for the Actual Interview

Practice your answers to Common Questions. Likewise, prepare a list of questions to ask the employer. Most interviews follow this pattern: First, you answer questions about your experience and qualifications, then you ask questions about the job. Rehearse your interview with a friend. You should be able to convey all pertinent information about yourself in 15 minutes. Tape yourself to check your diction, speed, and body language. Prepare your interview materials before you leave. Bring several copies of your resume, a list of references, and, if appropriate, any work samples. Make sure they are all up-to-date. Dress professionally and comfortably. You will be judged in some respects by what you wear. When in doubt, dress conservatively.

For women:

* A straight-forward business suit is best
* Wear sensible pumps
* Be moderate with make-up and perfume
* Wear simple jewelry
* Hair and fingernails should be well-groomed
* Bring pen and notepad to jot down any information you may need to remember (but don't take notes during the interview)

For Mee"
* Make sure you wear the appropriate attire.
* Wear simple jewelry
* Hair and fingernails should be well-groomed
* Bring pen and notepad to jot down any information you may need to remember (but don't take notes during the interview)

Differentiate this one...

What is the difference between might and may?

May expresses likelihood while might expresses a stronger sense of doubt or a contrary-to-fact hypothetical. The difference in degree between "You may be right" and "You might be right" is slight but not insignificant: if I say you may be right about something, there is a higher degree of probability that you are right about it than if I say you might be right about something. Example: You think Einstein is the most brilliant physicist who ever lived? You may be right. / You think it's going to rain this afternoon even though the sun is shining this morning? Well, you might be right. May expresses likelihood while might expresses a stronger sense of doubt or a contrary-to-fact hypothetical: We might have been able to go if Keir had not been so slow to get ready.

What is the difference between sherbet and sherbert - and also sorbet?

The original Turkish and Persian word was sherbert or serbet, which has led to the variant spellings. Sherbert is a spelling and pronunciation found in both American and British use. It descended from Arabic sharbah 'drink' and shariba 'to drink'. It was first a cold drink made with fruit juice, water, and sweetener and often cooled with snow. The meaning was transferred to fruit-flavored ices in the late 19th century and now more specifically refers to an ice made with milk, egg white, or gelatin. In Britain, the word mainly refers to the beverage. In Australia, sherbet is used as another name for beer. Sherbet is distinguished slightly from sorbet, the French term for a fruit-flavored ice served mainly between courses of a meal as a palate cleanser. Sorbet is derived from the same Turkish and Persian words as sherbet.
