Should You Be on Facebook?
Social-networking sites are all but putting business-card printers out of business. Instead of trading a 3.5 x 2-inch piece of paper, people are trading names and tracking one another down on sites such as LinkedIn and Facebook. While LinkedIn has a decidedly professional bent, Facebook can be a much more intimate look into one’s personal life and inner circle of friends. Still, a lot of folks are on Facebook and use it as a professional networking tool. But is it right for you?
Because Facebook makes it easy to blur the lines between the professional and personal, most experts caution against this, unless, perhaps, you work in the entertainment industry. “When you think about Facebook and other social-networking sites, you have got to think about these profiles as an addendum to your resume,” says Lauren Milligan, founder of ResuMAYDAY.com.
Daisy L. Swan, of Daisy Swan & Associates, agrees, “Now that there are so many people who are going to be looking for new positions, it’s good to be able to be found — so long as you’re presenting yourself as the professional you want to be.”
Here are some tips to put your best face forward on Facebook:
1. Keep it strictly professional. Career strategist Swan says, “Have a consistent message,” meaning if you’re marketing yourself as a top accountant, make sure your Facebook profile reflects that image. Milligan tells users, “Keep the social aspect separate. I’ve had clients who’ve been way too attached to their Facebook pages and all the personal content on there, but I ask them, ‘What’s your priority? Finding a job or revealing all?’”
2. Mind your status. Your status can be used for more than goofy one-liners. Swan, for instance, shares, “You can use your status to let people know about additional projects you’re working on, which sends a message that you’re more than just what you do at work every day.” Also, if you friend your coworkers on Facebook, make sure you don’t accidentally throw yourself under the bus by revealing you weren’t really sick when you called in sick to work, as one Facebook user learned (see related incident on Shamebox blog).
3. Choose your friends and your groups carefully. Whom you friend and the groups you join are a reflection of who you are. Think through the requests you accept and the company you keep on Facebook as potential employers may take those things into account. One group of Virgin Atlantic employees recently started a Facebook group in which they openly traded insults and complaints about customers and colleagues — and 13 of those workers were fired. Resume and career expert Milligan reminds users, “If you’re an employee, you have to be considered an advocate of your employer at all times.”
4. Mind your identity. Another plus of keeping your privacy settings high or, ideally, keeping your profile strictly professional, is that you’re less likely to divulge personal information that could leave you at risk of identity theft. Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin’s personal email account was famously hacked by someone who successfully guessed the answers to her security questions. Avoid divulging your pets’ names, your mom’s maiden name, and other details that could leave you vulnerable to fraud by including only professional details on any social-networking site.
5. Don’t get sucked in. Swan, whose practice is based in Los Angeles, says, “I’ve been hearing that entrepreneurs are getting a lot of encouragement to be on Facebook and they’re marketing full force that way. But it’s not the be-all, end-all solution for marketing. It may have some value toward your bottom line, but it may not if you’re spending too much time on it. Check your return on investment.”
Milligan adds, “It cannot be your priority. The time you spend on it cannot infringe on your professional life.”
As recruiters and companies look to Facebook as an additional source of finding new talent, it behooves you to at least be familiar with such sites. Swan states, “In terms of new partnerships and for job-search purposes, it can be a great networking tool to let people know about you, and it’s a great way to learn about people and companies and options. Just be sure to use these sites in a savvy manner to your benefit.”
Milligan warns, “If job-search tools will be available, if that is the conduit between you and a job, you’d better be professional.”

Childhood Obesity, Teen & Toddler Obesity
International Epidemic of Childhood ObesityOne in every 5 children in USA is overweight while every 4th child is overweight in Australia. In USA, prevalence of obese children (Ages 6 to 11) at the 95th percentile of Body Mass Index (BMI) in 1999 to 2000 was 15.3%. If the parents do not control, this number of childhood obesity, teen obesity and overweight children will grow significantly in near future.Obese Kids Risk Thyroid DamageObese children may be damaging their thyroids, creating a vicious cycle of metabolism and overweight, Italian researchers Giorgio Radetti of the Regional Hospital of Bolzano reported on 4 Dec 2008. According to Radetti, the obesity may cause inflammation damaging the thyroid. The researchers found an association between body mass index and thyroid hormone levels.
The vulnerable period to start excess weight gain in toddlers is 3 and 4 years of their age. So the children of this age must get an hour of active play each day along with five fruits and vegetables, according to Dr. Stephen Daniels of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
Definition of Obesity in Children & ToddlersThe overweight children are those who weigh 20 percent more than their ideal weight. The obese children are those who weigh 40 percent or more above their ideal weight.
The vulnerable period to start excess weight gain in toddlers is 3 and 4 years of their age. So the children of this age must get an hour of active play each day along with five fruits and vegetables, according to Dr. Stephen Daniels of Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.
Percentile of Body Mass Index (BMI) is used to identify overweight and obesity in children and adolescents. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) suggest two levels of overweight: (a) the 85th percentile (BMI of 25), an “at risk” or reference level, and (b) the 95th percentile (BMI of 25), the obesity level. Note that the 95th percentile corresponds to a BMI of 30, which is considered obesity in adults.The Causes of Obesity
The main causes of children becoming overweight (i.e. childhood obesity and teenage obesity) are lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating habits, genetic reasons, or a combination of these. Obesity develops when the energy intake exceeds energy expenditure from physical activity.
With the advent of electronic revolution, children and teens now remain glued to TVs, electronic games, videos, and DVDs for most of the time and devote little time in outdoor activities. Along with this they eat a lot of junk foods loaded with fat, cholesterol, and sugar. This a very good recipe for gaining weight.
The Journal of Law and Economics reports in November 2008 that banning fast food advertisements from children’s television programs would reduce the number of overweight children in the US by 18% and decrease the number of overweight teens by 14%.
Only 2 hours are recommenced for a child to watch TV each day. Two recent studies reported in the Journal of Pediatrics (2005) reported that every extra hour of weekend TV at age 5 increased by 7% the chances of being obese at age 30. Also 11 year old girls who watched TV more than 2 hours in a day were more than twice as likely to be overweight as girls who watched less.
The Baby body mass index value can help you determine if your child is overweight.
USDA in April 2005 released it’s interactive dietary guidelines, Mypyramid based on a new food pyramid. The old food pyramid recommended one food size for all people without consideration on exercise, so many children today are faced with weight problems.
How much fat for Children and adolescents?Keep total fat intake between 30 to 35 percent of calories for children 2 to 3 years of age and between 25 to 35 percent of calories for children and adolescents 4 to 18 years of age, with most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, such as fish, nuts, and vegetable oils.
Limit on ghee which is high in saturated fat.Obesity Facts on Child ObesityA study (2005) on feeding Infants & Toddlers by Gerber Products Co, Mathematica Policy Research Inc. revealed that the eating habits that are fueling an epidemic of obesity are starting in the crib. Note what US infants and toddlers eat daily.
