How to Succeed on the JobWritten by Susan Dunn, M.A.
Continued from page 1
It's important to know how to learn informally on job and it's important not to underestimate importance of it. Keep your hand on pulse of organization if you're boss, and stay in loop if you're an employee. This sort of EQ -- emotional intelligence -- is usually more important to your career and your ability to run your business than your IQ, and it isn't covered in text books.

| | MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS FOR THE FRUGAL, ECOLOGICALLY-CONSCIOUS WOMAN Written by Julia Schopick
Continued from page 1
So what's answer for frugal, environment-conscious menstruating woman? REUSABLE MENSTRUAL PRODUCTS, of course. Unlike tampons, women can use earth-friendly, reusable menstrual cup, called THE KEEPER( (www.thekeeperinc.com), made from gentle rubber (similar to rubber that is used to make baby bottle nipples). Besides being easy on environment, The Keeper is easy on pocketbook, costing an average of 29 cents a month for 10 years. With proper care (for instance, not using harsh chemicals to wash it), one cup should last up to 10 years! The Keeper is also convenient, and comes with a drawstring purse, so it is easy to keep with you so you'll always be prepared. And since it is made of rubber, rather than of an absorbent fibrous material, such as rayon, it can be worn up to 12 hours before being emptied. On heavy days, you may want to change it more often. The fact that The Keeper is not made of rayon, or any other synthetic material, also reduces potential for Toxic Shock Syndrome and eliminates dioxin exposure. (Are you aware that FDA does not require manufacturers of tampons or pads to list their products' ingredients in or on box?) But some women want a reusable - but not an insertable - menstrual product. The answer: reusable menstrual pads, such as GladRags (www.gladrags.com), made from organic cotton that, like The Keeper, can be used for years and will be friendly to environment and pocketbook. In fact, women should have choices -- a drawer full of several different reusable products for various times during their periods. For these reasons, reusable menstrual products are THE MOST ENVIRONMENT-FRIENDLY OF ALL!
