Approximately two-thirds of a person's body weight is water. Blood is 92% water. The brain is 75% water and muscles are 75% water. Also did you know the bones in your body are not white - they range in colour from beige to light brown. The bones you see in museums are white because they have been boiled and cleaned.

TIP OF THE DAY (www.ehow.com)
How to Network Effectively
Networking can get you a job or otherwise expand your business horizons. The key to networking is taking the initiative ' and refining your conversational skills.

Step 1
Stay in touch with people you like and respect even if they can't help you immediately. You don't want to go to someone only when you are desperate.

Step 2
Talk to people you don't know everywhere you go. Cocktail parties and weddings are just the tip of the iceberg; don't forget about airplane rides, supermarket lines, sporting events, festivals, bookstores and so on.

Step 3
Learn to ask "What do you do?" with comfort, sincerity and interest.

Step 4
Become a better listener. Ask a question and then be quiet until you hear the answer.

Step 5
Practice your own presentation of your skills. Learn more than one approach, whether frank or subtle.

Step 6
Keep a great updated brochure, or other form of information about yourself on you at all times. Get comfortable handing out your card.

Step 7
Take classes to improve your public speaking, body language and writing skills.

Step 8
Join every networking club and association in your field.

Step 9
Follow up on any lead, no matter how minor.
