Encouraging teenage family members to find jobs
is one way a family can increase their income
during a period of unemployment. Part-time jobs
are available that fit into student schedules.
Sometimes through no fault of their own,
parents find themselves out of work. A factory
may close, sales may be down, or their health
may fail. Whatever the cause, unemployment
(not having a job) affects everyone in the family.
Faced with reduced income, you’ll need to
cut back on spending and develop a plan
to pay your bills. If your income will be down
for more than a month, adjust your spending habits
to maintain control of your finances.
When you’re between jobs, the paychecks
stop but the bills keep coming.
When you don’t have enough money to
cover basic living expenses and to pay all your
creditors, you face difficult financial decisions.
In many ways, losing a job is like losing part of
yourself. Your lifestyle suddenly changes. Schedules
and routines that controlled a large part of
your time are no longer there. You lose contact
with former co-workers and friends.
Losing your job is one of the most stressful events
you can experience. Losing a job forces you,
against your wishes, to make rapid changes in
your life. It is important to continue your normal
routines in order to reduce the number of changes
you make at one time.

Background: Functional annotations of large plant genome projects mostly provide information on gene function
and gene families based on the presence of protein domains and gene homology, but not necessarily in
association with gene expression or metabolic and regulatory networks. These additional annotations are necessary
to understand the physiology, development...
