Be sure to stay away from sensitive subjects such as religion and politics.  80% of communication is expressed through body language. Although you may be nervous, do your best to relax. Maintain an assured posture throughout the meal, elbows off the table. Napkin Use The meal begins when the host unfolds his or her napkin. This is your signal to do the same.

Instagram steps towards making money.. To show advertisements Instagram , the mobile photo-sharing app   owned by Facebook Inc, says it will start showing "occasional" photo/video ads   in the coming months. It's the app's first step toward making money . While users can already follow brands and businesses, part of the app's appeal has been its simplicity and, for some, a lack of advertisements. To ease users into seeing ads, the company said in a blog post on Thursday that it will focus on showing "a small number" of "high-quality photos and videos" from a handful of brands. Facebook last fall bought over instagram  for $715.3 million, $300 million of it in cash  and the rest in stock. The app has more than 150 million users and is especially popular with teenagers and young adults.
