What's JFGI? What does JFGI mean? What is the definition of JFGI? Is this a company name, an acronymn of some big company, health organization or some fans club? Well, not likely.
JFGI seems to mean "Just F*%king Google it". When you don't know the meaning of something and you simply ask without researching for it on the web first specifically google, you get this response- JFGI- Just f**king Google it. That's what JFGI seems to be. Unless there's someone who is using this acronymn for some other meanings.

Every year November 1st is celebrated as Karnataka Rajyotsava in the Karnataka state of India. Kannada Rajyotsava marks the formation of the state of Karnataka as we know today. On this special day all the Kannadigas from the state come together as one and celebrate the day with great pomp and show.
The Rajothsava has an interesting story. In 1956, Mysore state, comprising most of the area of the erstwhile princely state of Mysore, was merged with the Kannada speaking areas of the Bombay and Madras presidencies, as also of the principality of Hyderabad, to create a unified Kannada-speaking subnational entity. The newly unified state initially retained the name “Mysore”, which was that of the erstwhile princely state which formed the core of the new entity, but people from North and Hyderabad region were against the name as it was closely associated with the erstwhile principality and the southern areas of the new state. In deference to this logic, the name of the state was changed to Karnataka on November 1, 1973. D. Devaraj Urs was the Chief Minister of the state when this landmark decision was taken. The name Karnataka was welcome by everyone in the new state and all accepted the new name.
The festival is an official state holday, and it’s literal English translation means “state festival”. Happy Karnataka Rajyotsava!

Dance Premier League 31 October - Level 2 of Tournament Begins With Wardrobe Malfunction
Western Yodhas continue to dominate the Level 1 of Dance Premier League though Central Surmas aren't much behind by scoring 64 runs in the match yesterday. Level 2 of Dance Premier League 31October will see a face off between Uttar Ke Puttar and Eastern Tigers.
Though Uttar ke Puttar won their first match but in marks tally are behind Eastern Tigers therefore this match will be tough call for both teams. Yesterday on Dance Premier League NRI team Desi Pardesi did a fantastic job but the judges were over critical towards them and it seemed that they were partial towards Central Surmas just because someone performed Indian Classical doesn't mean that it's a good performance. The couple dance of Desi Pardesi was much more eloquent and tough than Central Surmas. 
The first match of Level 2 has to begin with solid energy and do or die attitude both teams have a lot to prove but Eastern Tigers may have to face some humiliations due to Dance Premier League Wardrobe Malfunction when Binaisha Deshmukh's wig falls out during the performance. Will the over critical judges over look this wardrobe malfunction and give runs to Eastern Tigers?

Oh! Calcutta! is an avant-garde theatrical revue, created by British drama critic Kenneth Tynan. The show, consisting of sketches on sex-related topics, debuted Off-Broadway in 1969 and then in London in 1970. It ran in London for over 3,900 performances, and in New York initially for 1,314. Revivals enjoyed even longer runs, including a Broadway revival that ran for 5,959 performances, making the show the longest-running revue in Broadway history.
The show sparked considerable controversy at the time, because it featured extended scenes of total nudity, both male and female. The title is taken from a painting by Clovis Trouille, itself a pun on "O quel cul t'as!" French for "What an arse you have!".

Olympian Deriba Merga of Ethiopia would look to exploit his familiarity of the track to defend his title when over 8,500 people, including 266 foreign athletes, brave a chilly Sunday morning to run at Airtel Delhi Half Marathon in New Delhi.
The event which has grown in terms of participation as well as popularity in the last five years, is offering USD 210,000 as the prize money, with the men and women winners bagging USD 25,000 each.
Merga, who had clocked his personal best of 59.15 minutes at the 21.097 km race last year, would face stiff competition this time from last year's runner-up Wilson Kipsang of Kenya and reigning South African national champion Stephen Mokoko.
"I am looking to perform better this year. I would be running here for second time and I think, familiarity to the track would give me some advantages," said Merga, who won the Sunfeast World 10K event in Bangalore this year.
"I have trained well and am in form. The weather is also looking fine. So I am confident about doing well," he added.
Among women, holder Mergia Aselefech of Ethiopia exuded confident of defending her title but she will face tough competition from Kenyan long-distance runner Mary Keitany, who won the World Half Marathon Championship in England earlier this month.
"I am happy to be back in India, I love the people of the country. The weather is fine here and I am hoping for a good performance like last year," Mergia said.
The event also offers rich dividends for Indians with top finishers in both the men and women category receiving USD 4,000 each, while there are handsome rewards for the top-10 finishers also.
There would be 8,429 Indian participants, including 7,430 in men's category.
It would be mandatory for all the participants in the 'Half Marathon' category to wear a specially designed timing chip on their legs to generate authentic results.
To ensure the well being of the participants, six medical stations along the route and one base medical station would be set up to be manned by 120 doctors.
The Sunday morning is all set to watch a star-studded beginning of the race with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan in attendance.
Besides, the two high-profile event ambassadors - Australian cricket great Allan Border and compatriot Olympics gold medallist Cathy Freeman - will also be present on the occasion.

Well this is what I received regarding Guruji.com in the morning from a close and not-so-net-savvy friend of mine:
“Hi,
Heard the latest news? India has stopped googling for music and has started using the the No. 1 music search engine instead -www.guruji.com. It’s the only website where you can get all Indian music from 1932 to 2009.
Join the gang, stop googling for music. Search Music and Get Music MP3 downloads on Guruji.com. Try it, for music it clearly beats google and all other music sites hands down.
Good site to try it once for music.
Pass this mail to your friends as well.
Enjoy…
”
And I thought wow, wow, wow. Wait a minute. Is music still on the top of our minds? Or is it only the free stuff that we are interested in? Aren’t we all supposed to kill piracy and stop searching for illegal free music, bit torrent and p2p stuff?
Well whatever happened to integrity, Guruji too interestingly shows the same message quite prominently on their home page: “Thank you for making us No.1 in Music Search!, (As per independent third party research)”.
While the top destination site from Guruji does seem to be a Pakistani music site but as per data from Compete.com the traffic curve of Guruji has been on a decline since May, 2009.
Does anyone care to explain this? Who initiated this email fission? Sounds fishy, does it?

Hebron Christian needed a kicker and head coach Brian Smith started asking who the school’s best soccer player was.
Everyone said the same thing.
Jordan Lowery.
It didn’t really occur to Smith that Jordan could be a girl’s name.
“Finally somebody said, ‘She’s a girl,’” Smith said.
“I said OK.”
After the Lions’ season-opening 26-20 loss to Temple included three missed field goals and a missed PAT, Smith knew an improvement was necessary. So he went recruiting.
“And she’s made us better,” said Smith, who took over a Hebron program in just its second season this year. “There’s no question.”
Lowery, a freshman at the small private school in Dacula, is 14 of 15 on PATs and has a 24-yard field goal to her credit as well. The Lions are 6-2 with two more games to play in their final non-region season.
“She’s great,” Smith said. “She’s a tough kid. She’s very athletic and just savvy about the way she carries herself and plays the game. Even on bad snaps, she’s been able to adjust and still kick them through.”
Lowery’s holder, junior quarterback Paul Stinespring, held himself accountable for her one missed PAT.
“He said, ‘I shouldn’t have tried to put it on the tee, I didn’t get it on the tee,’” Smith said. “He took the blame.
“I told her it was good she went ahead and missed one and got it out of the way.”
Lowery’s been perfect since and her success makes any accommodations a small price to pay.
The Lions don’t actually have locker rooms – the team dresses in the boys bathroom – so that’s not an issue and Lowery waits a bit before going into the away locker rooms during halftime at games.
Sometimes it’s a little more unusual than that.
“The game (three weeks ago) was the first time I’ve had to go ask cheerleaders for bobby pins,” Smith said with a laugh. “I’ve got daughters so I know some of this stuff. We had to have her hair braided pregame before and some of those things are a little different.
“What I’ve told her is I want to make sure you’re OK.”
Smith occasionally has to apologize for saying something to the team about hitting like a girl, but it doesn’t phase Lowery.
“She’s phenomenal,” Smith said.
“We haven’t had a problem yet.
“And I think it’s a testament to her, it’s a testament to our guys. They want her around because she makes us better.”
Which is not to say it wasn’t a little strange for Lowery or the other players at first.
Lowery used the word “weird” to describe what she thought when she was approached to play and the first day of practice.
“Because, I mean, I’m the only girl that’s been asked to play,” she said. “I kicked last year, not for the team, but just at halftime to play around. So people had been asking me to play.
“It was really weird, trying on the pads and everything the first day.”
Senior wide receiver and one of the team’s leaders, Will Treadwell, used the same word.
“At first it was kind of weird,” he said. “But it’s not weird at all. It’s actually pretty cool.”
Lowery said it only took a few days to get used to it.
“It isn’t bad now,” she said. “They actually, like, treat me as one of their teammates.”

Just like the old postal service motto about not being stopped by sleet or rain or anything else, Henry County High School senior Lennies McFerren ran the Henry County High School football team to a 20-0 victory on a swampy field at Rossview High School in Clarksville Friday night.
McFerren scored three touchdowns while running for 175 yards on 31 carries in a game that more closely resembled mud wresting rather than football. Henry County finishes the regular season with a 9-1 record and secured the District 10-AAA championship outright.
The win over the Hawks was hard for the Patriots to celebrate because of a first-half injury to senior receiver/safety Skylar Haley. Haley broke a leg while playing defense and left the field by ambulance.
Henry County will be at home in the first round of the playoffs next Friday. The TSSAA will begin announcing the playoff brackets for the six classifications at 7 this morning.
To see the Patriots' playoff prospects, check this page later today or Sunday if the rainy weather prevented all the necessary games being played on Friday. Look for photographs and more details on the Patriots' win at Rossview in Monday's Post-Intelligencer.

1. Start with a clearly stated job objective or background summary. An objective works best when you can be specific as to the type of position you are looking for. If you are flexible and can consider several types of positions, the background summary may be the best way to highlight your skills and abilities.
Examples:
Objective: Position as a Controller utilizing successful accounting and managerial experience.
Background Summary: Experienced manager with excellent team abilities and strong leadership skills. Enthusiastic, highly motivated and can be counted on to get the job done.Excellent communication skills with the ability to relate to all levels within an organization.
(Note: If you have your resume on your computer, you can change the objective and/or background summary to fit a particular position.)
2. A good resume sets forth your accomplishments. It should not be a list of job duties. Employers want to know what can do for them and how you have contributed in your previous positions. Begin each statement with an action verb and provided quantifiable information whenever possible:
Examples:
Increased sales by ___% each quarter for the past two years.
Developed a ___________program resulting in savings of $__________.
Served as team leader on a project which resulted in cost savings of $________.
Designed and implemented a performance appraisal program for six locations.
3. It is not necessary to list every job you have ever had. Employers are most concerned about what you’ve done recently and not what you did fifteen years ago. Listing many years of work experience could be a liability in competing with younger workers.
4. Do not list hobbies or outside interests unless they have a direct correlation to the skills and abilities an employer is seeking.
Examples:
The following could raise a red flag with an employer: Hobbies; skydiving, racing – employer may consider you an insurance risk
However, if you a volunteer for a hospice program and you are applying to a social service agency, this could be a plus.
5. There is nothing magic about a one-page resume. In fact, if you have been in the workforce for any length of time, it would be impossible to communicate everything you have to offer in one page. Try not to go beyond two pages or your resume might not get read.
6. DO NOT FALSIFY your work history or education. More employers than ever are doing background checks and you will not get hired if you are found to be dishonest. The employer can terminate you at anytime if they find out your application and/or resume was false.
7. Use a quality bond paper, white, cream or grey. Don’t get cute or fancy with bold colors or graphics unless you are applying for a position in the arts. Do not include a picture!
8. Do not overuse bolding, underlining or mix fonts. Make sure your resume is easy to read and has lots of white space. Check and double check for spelling and typos. Using spell check is not full proof. For example, if you use the word their when you really meant there, spell check would not pick this up as the word is not misspelled. Have two or three people proof your resume. After you’ve been working on it awhile, you can easily miss something.
9. Make sure your contact information at the top of your resume is current. If you are using your cell phone, be sure your voice mail message is professional! You will definitely turn a recruiter off if your voice mail is offensive. When job hunting, do not have little children on your voice mail.
10. Seek professional help if you do not have good writing skills. It is well worth the cost as you only have one chance to make a good first impression.
One final piece of advice! When sending out your resume, you increase your chances of getting an interview if your cover letter specifically addresses how your background and skills match what the company is looking for. Do not use a one-size-fits-all cover letter. It will be obvious to the recruiter. Do your research and find out something about the company. You will truly stand out if you do this as most people don’t take the time to go that extra step.
Good luck and happy job hunting!
