| Job Interviewer Questions and Their Concerns | | 2008-07-03 02:54:00 | | Here, please find some Job Interview Questions......Behind every interview question there is a concern or another question. Your job is to process the question thinking about what the interviewer' s concern might be. In other words, why is the interviewer asking you this question?Q#1 - How long have you been looking for a job? (Concern - is there something wrong with you that other employers have picked up?)Q#2 - How did you prepare for this job interview? (Concern - are you interested enough to do some research, or are you going to "wing it"?)Q#3 - What is your salary expectation for this job? (Concern - Can we afford you? Can we get you for less than budgeted?)Q#4 - How do you keep current and informed about your job and the industries that you have worked in?

| | Mommy Makeover Concerns – When Teenagers Get Pregnant | | 2008-07-01 00:57:00 | | Teenage pregnancy is an extremely touchy subject but is something worth looking into especially for mothers concerned about their daughters who are still, according to them, 'babies'.Mainstream media on this subject increased coverage with teens like Ashley Simpson and Jamie Lyyn Spears getting pregnant, movies like Juno (released this year) and shows like The O.C., and more recently The Secret Life of The American Teenager. You have to grant the media this though, there are serious attempts being made to highlight the problems that come with teen pregnancies.PSI mommy makeovers appreciate these attempts by the media and would only like to point out that teen pregnancies are, contrary to accepted beliefs, at the lowest level in 30 years.This doesn't make the problem any less serious however, and parents are expected to treat the issue with understanding and sensitivity.

Indeed, after Carter’s departure, Hamas officials rolled back his amazing assessment that the terrorist organization was finally prepared to accept the right of Israel to “live as a neighbor next door in peace.” Judging from the official statements on the Carter visit, Israel is not under any illusions about Hamas....(read more) | | By: An American Warning | | |
| | | Climate Change - Health Concerns Related to Global Warming | | 2008-04-14 14:06:08 | | Global warming affects the environment as well as the health of the people living in that environment. Climatic changes impact human habitats as much as animal habitats. Human health is very sensitive to these changes.Global warming has caused rising temperatures in the environment. Devastating heat waves have recently occurred in areas of the world unaccustomed to extreme heat. Heat waves in Europe in 2003 lasted as long as two weeks, and temperatures soared as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Although temperatures like this are common in parts of the American Southwest, European summers are usually much cooler. Over 35,000 people died there as a result of the heat waves that year. They were ill-equipped to deal with their changing habitat.There have also been heat waves in North America. One in 2006 claimed 226 lives. Another result of global warming is an increase in pollen in the air. Higher levels of carbon dioxide encourage the growth of more pollen-producing weeds.

The news coming from G7 is positive for the dollar, whilst it doesn’t indication direct action, it does signal the next move towards coordinated foreign exchange intervention. U.S data news released on Friday had little impact in comparison to the G7 commentary as the Michigan Sentiment report fell 6.3 points to a 26-year low of 63.2 in April.

| | Dollar rebounds on G7 concerns | | 2008-04-14 07:19:18 | | The Euro closed above the 1.5800 mark on Friday but couldn't hold its gains over the weekend due to the G7's weekend reaction and statementsThe Euro appreciated last week above 1.58 against the Dollar, but dropped over the weekend, as a consequence of the G7’s summit reaction. The Euro closed above the 1.5800 mark on Friday but couldn't hold its gains over the weekend due to the G7's weekend reaction and statements and opened quite lower, testing support levels in the 1.56 area. The dollar's appreciation over the weekend indicates that there is risk of concerted intervention by the G7. The dollar rose to a one-week high against the euro, after the Group of Seven expressed concern over sharp fluctuations following a 14 percent slump in the greenback over the past year. The G-7 changed its statement on currencies for the first time in four years after the meeting in Washington on April 11, pledging to ``monitor exchange markets closely, and cooperate as appropriate.''

The repercussions of this concern are being felt worldwide with various countries seeing a rise in teenage plastic surgery figures. In India, doctors are noticing a 20-25 percent increase in the number of teenagers contacting them for a plastic surgery procedure. They cite cosmetic breast augmentation and corrective breast reduction as the most popular cosmetic surgeries requested by girls and boys respectively.In Australia, the state of Queensland already bans people under eighteen from having any body piercing or tattoos and cosmetic surgery is all set to be included in the list as well.

| | Virginia Space Resupply Exemption Raises Policy, Legal Concerns | | 2008-03-30 23:00:00 | | The Harrisonburg (Virginia) Daily News reports on a bill signed earlier this month which exempts income earned from space launches or space resupply services from corporate and individual income taxes, so long as the services supply missions are launched from Virginia: The legislation amends the state tax code so that, starting in 2009, no tax would be charged on revenue from commercial human spaceflight launch services and training, or space resupply services, provided those launches take place from a facility in the state.The fiscal impact statement for the legislation notes that the impact of the tax exemption "is unknown, but likely minimal,"because of the lack of activity in this sector.While there may be a lack of activity now, there could be a great deal of activity in the future. Promising tax-free takeoffs is one way to help promote such space ventures.It doesn't hurt to plan ahead. Besides, the name "Virginia Space Port" has a nice ring to it. | | By: Tax Policy Blog | | |
| | Cleavage Concerns: | | 2008-03-27 06:28:00 | | When Jessica Simpson tops the list for best cleavage you know its time to re-think just how attractive or not your cleavage might be. To surpass buxom beauties like Beyonce, Mariah Carey and Dita Von Teese has to be an achievement for the blond beauty. The early Greeks defined the way the human body was to be portrayed in art and included curves and smooth lines as an important component of this definition. When the Wonderbra, the revolutionary brassiere that first made cleavage exposure a style statement, popped on to the fashion scene the perceptions of feminine beauty were reworked once again. Plastic surgery patients wishing a breast enhancement surgery very often come in with photographs of their favorite celebrity and request boob jobs that mirror their breasts as closely as is possible. Perfect cleavages are frequently added to the wishlists of many patients wishing a breast augmentation as well.

| | Gold Advances in Asia on Inflation Concerns After Fed Statement | | 2008-03-21 03:49:00 | | From bloomberg.comGold gained for the first time in five days as some investors judged yesterday's decline to a one- month low had gone too far given prospects that inflation will accelerate, boosting demand for the metal as a haven. The Federal Reserve as of March 19 lent $28.8 billion to the biggest U.S. securities firms to try to stabilize capital markets, in its first extension of credit to non-banks since the Great Depression. Pumping more money into the banking system may fuel inflation and demand for precious metals and other commodities. ``Fundamentally, the charge forward is still there,'' Peter McGuire, managing director at Commodity Warrants Australia, said today in a Bloomberg Television interview. ``The time to buy is on the dips.'' Gold for immediate delivery gained $9.71, or 1.1 percent, to $920.24 an ounce as of 4:26 p.m. in Tokyo. Silver for immediate delivery gained 0.7 percent to $16.90 an ounce.

| | Online Banking Grows, But Security Concerns Continue to Accrue | | 2008-03-02 16:59:00 | | This all doesn’t mean that online banking isn’t safe if done correctly — both by the institution and the customer. The writer points out that online banking is growing. Both the perception and the reality is that safety is improving and, for this reason, crackers are beginning to target smaller and less sophisticated institutions. Indeed, it’s possible to argue that online banking is safer than physical banking. The lion’s share of financial fraud is done in the real world and, even if online theft is attempted, alerts are sounded quicker and loss is less than off-line theft.

| | Mitchell, Wilson top free-agent concerns | | 2008-02-12 06:22:40 | | I am still basking in the warm glow of the Giants' unexpected, unbelievable Super Bowl XLII championship. There are folks in my upstate New York area with all sorts of Giants' stuff outside their homes, including one guy who has painted 'Super Bowl Champs' into his lawn. Yet, it is time in many ways to turn the page and begin thinking about the future, specifically next season. The Giants have apparently already begun to do that, and the first move seems to be agreeing to a 5-year, $7M deal with kicker Lawrence Tynes. With Tynes, who could have been an unrestricted free agent, in the fold the Giants have 14 other potential free agents, including several key defenders. The key unrestricted free agents (UFAs), who can negotiate with any team are linebackers Kawika Mitchell and Reggie Torbor, safety Gibril Wilson and running back Derrick Ward. Starting safety James Butler is a restricted free agent, meaning the Giants can match any offer. To me, the key players the Giants mu | | By: Big Blue View | | |

And that's a shame. I have other blog friends, one who STILL lives in that blacked-out county (Reb) and one who has recently moved to a NESN happiness zone (Jere). I'd like to give you the link that Jessica, just now, gave me.

| | OiL PRICES: Is decline on concerns about economic growth | | 2007-12-21 00:09:58 | | Oil futures gave up earlier gains and settled lower today as concerns about the economy overrode forecasts that OPEC oil shipments were falling.In particular, energy investors were shaken by today's Conference Board report that its index of leading indicators dropped 0.4 percent in November to the lowest level in more than two years, said James Cordier, president of Liberty Trading Group in Tampa, Fla. Declines in the index tend to precede economic slowdowns or recessions."That is basically fulfilling what people are fearing," Cordier said.Energy traders worry that a slowing economy will mean reduced demand for oil and gasoline.Earlier in the day prices jumped $1 a barrel after Dow Jones Newswires reported that Oil Movements, a British tanker tracking firm, said it expects crude shipments from Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries will fall by 230,000 barrels a day to 24.2 million barrels a day during the four weeks ending Jan. 5.

| | Transistor's 60th Birthday Raises Size-Saturation Concerns | | 2007-12-17 10:25:00 | | Sixty years after transistors were invented and nearly five decades since they were first integrated into silicon chips, the tiny on-off switches dubbed the "nerve cells" of the information age are starting to show their age.The devices — whose miniaturization over time set in motion the race for faster, smaller and cheaper electronics — have been shrunk so much that the day is approaching when it will be physically impossible to make them even tinier.Once chip makers can't squeeze any more into the same-sized slice of silicon, the dramatic performance gains and cost reductions in computing over the years could suddenly slow. And the engine that's driven the digital revolution — and modern economy — could grind to a halt.Even Gordon Moore, the Intel Corp. co-founder who famously predicted in 1965 that the number of transistors on a chip should double every two years, sees that the end is fast approaching — an outcome the chip industry is scrambling to avoid."I can see (it l | | By: Beta18>>Technology HotSpot | | |
| | Fear Mongering, Playa Hatin' or Legit Concerns? | | 2007-12-12 15:52:16 | | When you're done visiting AndroidGuys today, head over to SeachEngineWatch and read what Adam Saroca, GM of Jumptap has to say about Google's offering to the mobile industry. Don't get us wrong, we're all for privacy here. Heck, we love what Ask.com just recently announced and wish Google would adopt a similar plan, but we're not gonna freak out and get all Big Brother on you if they don't. Check out a couple of quotes from Adam and tell us if you think they hold water. Look at what Google can do with mobile phones: see every contact people dial, track and serve what ads they see. It's clear their intent is to have all search and advertising run through their toolset... Android is more than just a Trojan horse. Android can take away all search and advertising revenue streams from mobile operators... So tell us, do you think Google is watching every number you dial on your Android phones? Do you think they keep a database of which cell phones call GOOG-411 and for for what | | By: AndroidGuys | | |

| | Indonesia: Muslim values in line with environmental concerns, say scholars | | 2007-11-16 02:50:00 | | AKI - Scholars who met in the Indonesian capital Jakarta to discuss Islam and the environment, have concluded that Muslim values support Indonesia's efforts to face its environmental challenges. The dialogue was held on Wednesday at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University (UIN) in cooperation with the British Embassy in Jakarta.The director of the Islamic Foundation for Ecology and Environmental Sciences (IFEES) in England, Fazlun M. Khalid, said that in contrast to common misperceptions, Islam was more than a ritualistic religion; Islam also provided universal values that underlined the importance of maintaining a balanced interaction with nature. He said Islamic teachings helped position human beings as the khalifah or administrative deputies of God on earth."Ulemas in Indonesia are way ahead ... in translating the sharia into fatwa (religious edicts)," he said.

| | | | | My Concerns About Journal Privacy | | 2007-04-26 19:42:31 | | The photo in this entry is Radical Simplicity. Photographed and edited by me, Lynda Walldez.I recently learned a few things about the value of keeping what you write in your journal private. I've been keeping my current journal for two months, so far only granting two people permission to read it. Although, a few days ago I found myself in a sensitive position that threatened to take my control of my own privacy. Which has led me to the decision to never let anyone read my private writings again.I previously shared my older journals with other people, those that I trusted and confided in. Although they are no longer in my life, I was glad that they were never too curious of my writings or pressured me to let them read my journals. There was a respect established for my privacy and integrity of writing.I believe that the content I write about in my journal should remain private, simply because I write for my own purposes. There have been some who have not respected my privacy and were | | By: One Day At a Time | | |

| | UN Torture Committee raises concerns over widespread abuses, condemns immunity for rape and torture, urges creation of special war crimes court | | 2006-11-27 07:18:00 | | In its conclusions on the initial report of Burundi, the Committee took note of the proposed amendments to Burundi's Penal Code, and of Burundi's intention to include articles prohibiting acts of torture, and other acts of cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, including with regard to violence against women and children. Further, it acknowledged the delegation's statement that the Code of Criminal Procedure would be likewise revised over the course of 2007. The Committee welcomed the creation of the Ministry for National Solidarity, Human Rights and Gender, the Government Commission on Human Rights and the Centre for the Promotion of Human Rights and the Prevention of Genocide. The Committee remained concerned, however, by the lack of specific provisions in Burundi's Penal Code to define and criminalize torture, and the lack of clarity surrounding the status of the Convention in domestic law. It noted with concern that the rules concerning detention did not explicitly require that detainees be notified of their rights, and was alarmed by information received that torture was a widespread practice in Burundi and that, indeed, there had been hundreds of cases of torture committed between July 2005 and July 2006 – a fact which the State party did not contest. +In addition, it was extremely concerned by reports concerning a high number of forced disappearances, arbitrary arrests and secret detentions committed by the National Information Service. The Committee was worried by the double mandate of the Information Service, which was charged both with ensuring State security and judicial police functions, a combination that entailed a high risk that such an entity would be used as an instrument of political repression. It was further alarmed by reports of large scale sexual violence against women and children by State agents and armed groups, as well as recourse to systematized rape as a weapon of war, which was a crime against humanity.
