1. How to Remember People's Names

Using the Tools:
Remembering people's names needs a slightly different approach from all the others explained so far in this section. The techniques used, though, are quite simple:

1. Face association
Examine a person's face discretely when you are introduced. Try to find an unusual feature, whether ears, hairline, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, chin, complexion, etc.
Create an association between that characteristic, the face, and the name in your mind. The association may be to link the person with someone else you know with the same name. Alternatively it may be to associate a rhyme or image of the name with the person's face or defining feature.

2. Repetition
When you are introduced, ask for the person to repeat their name. Use the name yourself as often as possible (without overdoing it!). If it is unusual, ask how it is spelled or where it is comes from, and if appropriate, exchange cards. Keep in mind that the more often you hear and see the name, the more likely it is to sink in.
Also, after you have left that person's company, review the name in your mind several times. If you are particularly keen you might decide to write it down and make notes.
Summary
The methods suggested for remembering names are fairly simple and obvious, but are useful. Association either with images of a name or with other people can really help. Repetition and review help to confirm your memory.
An important thing to stress is practice, patience, and progressive improvement.

10. Tips to Boost Your Interview IQ



Even the smartest and most qualified job seekers need to prepare for job interviews. Interviewing is a learned skill, and there are no second chances to make a great first impression. So study these 10 strategies and caveats to enhance your interview IQ.


1. Practice Good Nonverbal Communication: It's about demonstrating confidence: standing straight, making eye contact and connecting with a good, firm handshake. That first impression can be a great beginning -- or quick ending -- to your interview.


2. Dress for the Job or Company Today's casual dress codes do not give you permission to dress as "they" do when you interview. It is important to look professional and well-groomed. Whether you wear a suit or something less formal depends on the company culture and the position you are seeking. If possible, call to find out about the company dress code before the interview.

9. How to get relief of headaches


1. Keep a journal and list the foods and beverages you consume each day. If a headache develops, mark a star next to what preceded it.
2. Eliminate those suspect foods from your diet and see what brings relief.
3. Reintroduce each suspect food or beverage, one at a time, at intervals. Make a note if a reintroduced food or beverage triggers a headache.
4. Drink six to eight glasses of water a day. Dehydration is a common cause of headaches.
5. Look for a common factor. Many foods and beverages contain a compound called tyramine which causes high blood pressure and triggers migraines.
Alcohol, chocolate and aged foods contain tyramine.

8. Why was injection administered in the stomach for dog bite?

ANSWER I:
This is the only disease where the vaccine is given after the exposure (post-exposure). Nervous tissue vaccine (NTV) is one of the vaccines administered for dog bite.
This vaccine is prepared from a fixed virus grown in the brain of adult sheep or other animal. The final vaccine is a 5 per cent emulsion of infected sheep's brain containing the inactivated virus.
These viruses do not cause the disease but still retain the antigenecity, i.e., capability of producing the antibodies when injected.
After the bite, about 2-5 ml of the vaccine is administered depending upon the bite severity. More vaccine is administered for a longer duration for severe bites. Bites in the neck, head, face, palm, fingers and multiple wounds are categorized as class three bites.
They require injection for 10 days daily with two booster doses. For such volume of vaccine and duration, the ideal injection site is the anterior abdominal wall. This is preferred as there is a wide area and injection can be given at different points to avoid pain, swelling and discomfort.
Moreover the injections are to be given subcutaneously (below the skin) in the fatty layer. It is a misconception that it is given in the stomach. The needle does enter the abdominal cavity or, for that matter, any of the abdominal organs.
On the abdominal wall skin is held in a fold and elevated. A 1.5 cm needle is used to inject the vaccine in the subcutaneous tissue. After the fold is elevated and such a needle is used there is no possibility of going beyond the subcutaneous layer of the anterior abdominal wall.
This anterior abdominal wall is divided into ten quadrants and injections are given in different quadrants each time. This again results in less pain and swelling.
ANSWER II:
The vaccine is given in the stomach region because of the presence of large subcutaneous layer there. Earlier version of this injection needs slower absorption and prolonged activity. Only injection given to a subcutaneous layer can achieve this.
Buttocks and arm region contain larger area of muscle and less of subcutaneous layer.
Hence they are not suitable sites. One more reason is that the stomach region can also accommodate large doses and avoid any complication.
In children despite the subcutaneous layer not being thick and stomach not being large pose no problem as the quantity of injection given is less.
The improved version is a cell cultured vaccine and acts the same way as any other vaccine. In other words it does not require a subcutaneous layer. Hence, it can be given in the buttocks or arm region.

7. Performance Evaluation and Effects Part 2

Now take a new look at the same story…
The washer man was a well educated man from a premier management institute. He had the fundas of looking at the bigger picture and thinking out of the box. He was convinced that there must be some reason for the donkey to bray in the night. He walked outside a little and did some fact finding, applied a bottom up approach, figured out from the ground realities that there was a thief who broke in and the donkey only wanted to alert him about it. Looking at the donkey's extra initiative and going beyond the call of the duty, he rewarded him with lot of hay and other perks and became his favorite pet. The dog's life didn't change much, except that now the donkey was more motivated in doing the dogs duties as well. In the annual appraisal the dog managed a “meets requirement”.

Soon the dog realized that the donkey is taking care of his duties and he can enjoy his life sleeping and lazing around. The donkey was rated as “star performer".

The donkey had to live up to his already high performance standards. Soon he was over burdened with work and always under pressure and now is looking for a job rotation…
