1) Communication (written and verbal) – You don’t have to speak professionally or write a book. Employees do need to know basic grammar and sentence construction. And when it doubt, know how to look rules up. The AP Style Guide is your friend.
2)Computer – No more hunting and pecking on a keyboard. Companies today expect employees to know how to apply for a job online and take computer-based training. They also expect employees to have introductory word, spreadsheet, and presentation processing skills.
3) Customer Service – The majority of jobs being created today are in the services industries. Understanding the value of customers is essential. This includes the proper way to greet customers, remembering their name, and answering customer inquiries.
4) Empathy – By now, we all understand that empathy is not sympathy. But empathy can be very difficult to learn. It’s a key component to customer service, effective communications and teamwork.
5) Learning – Being a lifelong learner is not just a workplace slogan. It’s a reality. Today’s workplaces require us to continuously learn new skills. Employees should be open to new learning experiences, aware of how they prefer to learn, and prepared to articulate their learning style to management.
6) Math – We’re not talking algebra or trigonometry. Employees should know basic arithmetic. And I’d go so far as to say basic statistics. Oh! And learning how to count money back only makes good sense. Not only to make sure you’re getting the right change but someday the cash register might be broken.
7) Organization – I’m going to lump into this category planning and scheduling. Everyone has multiple things going on in their lives. We all have to find a method for keeping a list, putting it on a calendar, or whatever. But forgetting stuff all the time isn’t an option.
Problem Solving – Other people cannot solve all your problems. Employees need to be able to do some critical thinking, reasoning and problem solving on their own.
9) Research and Information Gathering – This links back to many of the other skills I’ve mentioned. In today’s world, we have to figure some stuff out on our own. Whether it’s searching the computer forums to troubleshoot a problem we’re having or collecting data to soothe an unhappy customer.
10) Teamwork – No matter who we are and what job we have, it’s impossible to do it alone. Employees must be able to work with others. This means communicate effectively with them. Empathize with their issues. And learn from them. Virtual workers are not exempt from this.

Now, here’s the thing about this list – these are basic skills that every employee needs. Want to really go far in your career? You better gain some kind of expertise in them!

A quick career development exercise for anyone: For each of these skills, rate yourself on a scale of 1-10 (1=very little knowledge to 10=consider yourself to be an expert). Any area you’ve rated yourself less than a 5 might be worth some focus. You can develop skills by doing three things.

Reading – books, blogs, magazines, or online content

Listening – podcasts, webinars, or attending conferences

Doing – volunteering for a task or practicing a skill during training

Over time, I expect this list will change. Because the workplace is changing all the time. What do you think? Leave a comment with your “essential skill” every employee must have.

Many expectant moms look forward to a beautiful childbirth. But what happens if you need a c-section? Two things are for sure: Your birth experience will not be as warm and intimate as you may have imagined, and your body will need more time to recover than if you had a vaginal birth. But in the grand scheme of parenthood, these are minor things; the c-section has the desired effect of delivering your baby safely into your arms. Here's the lowdown on having a c-section.

The Preparation

The first order of business -- after consent forms are signed -- is anesthesia. If you already have an epidural in place, the anesthesiologist will increase the dosage. If not, your obstetrician and the anesthesiologist will most likely choose an intrathecal (spinal). Both involve an injection in your back (for which you'll be numbed), and both numb you from the rib cage down. Next, you'll drink some chalky stuff called Bicitra to neutralize your stomach acids, and you'll be given a catheter and IV. Then it's on to the operating room, where your partner suits up in scrubs and a mask.

In the operating room, a curtain will be pulled across your midsection so that in addition to not feeling the proceedings, you won't see them either. With so many of your senses out of commission, you may find yourself listening hard. You're likely to hear a fair amount of activity in the far half of the room: a scrub nurse, another nurse or two, the anesthesiologist, and perhaps a hospital pediatrician. In a teaching hospital, an extra doctor may be observing.
The Recovery

That first day, you'll likely have a pump to deliver a low dosage of a narcotic, such as morphine, as needed. Some doctors will let you eat solids, while others will have you wait 24 hours or until you pass gas, a sign that your intestines are functioning normally. You will need loads of rest, and you will still be bleeding and will need to wear pads for a few days.

On the second day, you'll be switched from the pump to an oral painkiller. The catheter will come out, and you'll be asked to walk to the bathroom, which will appear to be in North Dakota. If the nurses push you before you feel ready, they aren't being sadistic; it's always important to get your lungs and muscles working after surgery. Dr. Moore strongly recommends "as much pain medicine as you need so that you can move around as much as possible." The second day will also bring an unusual interest in your intestinal activity. You may even feel a sensation like a humming motor inside you, which means that your intestines are getting back into gear after pain medications, which slow down your bowels.

By the third or fourth day, again depending on whether you're also recovering from labor, you will be sent home. If you're dead tired, push for as long a hospital stay as possible to rest. You will probably go home with a pain prescription in hand; don't hesitate to fill it. If breastfeeding is difficult, you may find that a nursing pillow is a godsend.

After two weeks, you'll go back to the doctor for a wound check to make sure your incision is healing well. At six weeks, you'll have a postpartum visit. And by that point, you'll probably feel like a parenting pro.

what are the fun ,pain,problems,joy etc; in being a second wife/husband..

Q: What is marijuana?
A: "Marijuana" refers to dried flowers and leaves of some strains of the cannabis hemp plant, which contains various quantities of the non-narcotic chemical THC (tetrahydrocannibinol) in various quantities. When smoked or eaten, it produces the feeling of being "high," which lasts a few hours. Different strains of this herb produce their own sensual effects, ranging from sedative to stimulant.

2

Q: Who uses marijuana?
A: There is no simple profile of a typical marijuana user. It's been used for thousands of years for medical, social, and religious reasons as well as for relaxation. Several American Presidents farmed hemp and cannabis, and some are believed to have smoked it. One out of every five Americans in all walks of life say they have tried it, and it is still very popular.

3

Q: How long have people been using marijuana?
A: Since Biblical times. This practice was widely accepted in Canada and the US, as well, until the orchestrated campaign of the 1930s led to disinformation, public hysteria, and the first laws against using it.

4

Q: Is marijuana addictive?
A: No, it is not. Most users are moderate consumers who only smoke it socially or occasionally to relax. We now know that 10% of our population have "addictive personalities," and they are no more nor less likely to abuse cannabis than anything else. On a relative scale, marijuana is less habit-forming than either sugar or chocolate. Sociologists report a general pattern of marijuana usage that peaks in the early adult years, followed by a period of leveling off, and finally a gradual reduction in use.

5

Q: Has anyone ever died from smoking marijuana?
A: No; not even once. American Judge Francis Young studied all the evidence in 1988, and ruled that "marijuana is far safer than many foods we commonly consume." The federal agency NIDA says that autopsies show 75 people per year are high on marijuana when they die, but this does not mean marijuana is a factor in any of their deaths. Deaths per year from: tobacco=340,000-395,000 Alcohol (not including accidents)=125,000+ Drug overdose (prescription)=14,000-27,000 Drug overdose (illegal)=3,800-5,200 Marijuana=0

6

Q: Does it lead to hard drugs?
A: No. Although people who abuse drugs often smoke marijuana also, the National Academy of Science reports that "legal drugs for adults, such as alcohol and tobacco, ... precede the use of all illicit drugs." "Tobacco is known as the gateway drug."

7

Q: Does It Cause Violence?
A: No, just the opposite. The only crime most marijuana users commit is using marijuana. The U. S. Shafer Commission report was the most comprehensive study ever undertaken on the subject. It found that marijuana smokers "tend to be under represented" in violence and in crime, especially when compared to users of alcohol, amphetamines and barbiturates. "The simple fact is that marijuana does not change your basic personality." The American federal government reports that over 70 million Americans have smoked it ... probably including some of the nicest people you know.

Q: How Does Marijuana Affect Your Health?
A: A Harvard university medical team in 1987 found that "dangerous physical reactions to marijuana are almost unknown." All smoke is unhealthy, but marijuana is safer than tobacco, and people tend to smoke less of it. That risk can be eliminated by eating the plant instead of smoking it, or it can be reduced by using water pipes to smoke smaller amounts of more potent marijuana. Moreover, cannabis is a proven medicinal herb with hundreds of modern therapeutic uses in treating ailments from stress to arthritis to glaucoma to asthma to cancer therapy, to AIDS, and more.

9

Q: What About All Those Scary Stories and Reports?
A: Most sensational claims of health risks cite no studies or sources at all. Others rely on a handful of inconclusive or flawed reports. After 20 years of study, the California Attorney General's panel, concluded in 1989 that "an objective consideration shows that marijuana is responsible for less damage to the individual and society than alcohol and cigarettes."

10

Q: What Should We Do?
A: American and Canadian taxpayers have funded many studies on this very point, and every independent government panel on marijuana has opposed the jailing of marijuana smokers. The Canadian Police Chiefs Association are even fighting for Decriminalization. Most have urged lawmakers to re-legalize and tax use of this herb by responsible adults, with age limits and regulations like those on alcohol and tobacco. Tell your elected leaders to free up our police and resources to combat violent crime and to honor our national pledge and commitment to "liberty and justice for all" by ending marijuana prohibition.
