Minecraft goes analog



Minecraft is one of today's most popular video games for young kids and tweens. It is also one of the most addictive. You can go anywhere in the game and do anything you want—and that makes it difficult for children to stop playing.

Thanks to Ravensburger for this Minecraft-based board game. It's the perfect excuse to down screens, spend quality time together as a family, and allow kids to touch and interact with something tangible. It's a great way to stimulate their brains too. Designed in collaboration with Mojang, the $39.99 game is geared for two to four players and takes 30-60 minutes to play. Well, that beats the average daily time my 6-year-old daughter spends in the Overworld.

Product Description:

"Minecraft: Builders & Biomes comes with high-quality game pieces including 64 resource cubes, 64 building and Monster cards, 36 weapon tokens, 4 player boards, 4 experience counters, 4 character skins, 4 game piece Bases, 12 overview cards, 1 resource cube base, 1 support structure, and instructions."

Dealing with Job Rejection

Rejection takes many forms: The varsity team, Tinder, the credit card, the university, the girl next door, Google AdSense, the job. Growing up, I never wanted to be a journalist. I wanted to be a pilot, or a shipmaster, like Captain Nemo. And then in my second year of college, I decided I wanted to be in public relations. After graduation, I applied to seven PR firms in Manila and got seven rejection emails. The job seemed perfect. The interviews went smooth. I was optimistic. But, they hired someone else.    Being rejected after a job application can seriously break your self confidence and morale. I was devastated when I got turned down too many times, and I became depressed, angry and quite difficult to live with. However, I realized that wallowing in misery and regret will never help. So I took a step back, analyzed my job search strategy and determined my flaws.    Have you been rejected recently? Cheer up! Just because someone says no today doesn't mean it'...
