Pastor: Bishop Douglas M. Anthony, Sr.
Bishop Douglas M. Anthony, Sr. was born July 7, 1956 in Norfolk, Virginia. He is one of four sons born to the late Elizabeth and Lewis Anthony. Bishop Anthony attended the Norfolk Public Schools where he graduated with honors from Booker T. Washington High School. He was awarded several academic scholarships and an Army ROTC Scholarship from Saint Augustine's College in Raleigh, North Carolina where he also graduated with honors. Upon graduation, Bishop Anthony was commissioned a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army and less than one week later he was married to his college sweetheart, Dorseen Bolden. They have one son (Douglas Jr.) and two daughters (Elisha and Sarah).
The Lord blessed Bishop Anthony with a beautiful army career and now he works as a Senior Program Manager and Senior System Engineer. Although he was stationed at various locations around the world and not saved, he would always return to Guiding Light Apostolic Church of Christ whenever he and his family came home on vacation. In 1987, the Lord pricked his heart and he was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ at Guiding Light Apostolic Church of Christ in Portsmouth, Virginia. Less than one month later, he received the gift of the Holy Ghost at Pentecostal Lighthouse Church of the Apostolic Faith in Huntsville, Alabama where he was stationed.
In 1992, the Lord instructed him to return home and he has been at Guiding Light Apostolic Church of Christ ever since. He was ordained a Minister in 1994, was elected President of the Brotherhood in 1997, ordained an Elder in 2001, and ordained a Bishop in 2009. Bishop Anthony has been faithful in all areas of service to include driving the church van for many years. He was a faithful Armor-bearer to his former pastor, the late Bishop Alfred P. Bolden, Sr., who entered into eternal rest December 15, 2007. Bishop Anthony has received the mantel to continue the work of the Lord and the Apostolic Doctrine at Guiding Light Apostolic Church of Christ, Portsmouth, Virginia.

The WSTA is predicting that the cost of a bottle of Prosecco could increase by 59 pence a bottle.
Earlier this year the WSTA warned that the cost of still wine imported into the UK from EU countries could increase by as much as 29p a bottle due to the continued devaluation of the pound, amid the uncertainty posed by Brexit.
Taking into consideration continued inflation and a rise in duty on alcohol, the WSTA now estimates that increase could in fact be closer to 53 pence a bottle – a 10% rise.
Meanwhile the average-priced bottle of sparkling wine could increase by 9%, which would add 59p to a bottle of fizz, while the cost of Champagne is expected to rise by 5%, adding £1 to the cost of a bottle.
The WSTA published its estimations this morning, calling on the UK government to make a 2% cut to duty paid on wine in the 2016 Budget, pointing out that UK wine drinkers are already one of the most heavily taxed in Europe. UK consumers currently pay 68.4% of all wine duties collected by all 28 EU member states, despite accounting for only 11% of the population.
Average duty paid on an bottle of still wine in the UK is currently £2.08, meaning that 55% goes on duty and VAT, while the duty paid on an average bottle of sparkling wine is £2.67.
In comparison, consumers in France pay just 6 pence in duty on an average bottle of sparkling wine, according to the WSTA, with 3 pence paid on still wine.
"With Brexit costing 29p per bottle and rising inflation indicated by the Bank of England last week adding a further 17p, further duty rises could make it a triple whammy for consumers who are already paying a staggering amount of wine and spirit duty," said Miles Beale, chief executive of the WSTA.
Wine was the only product singled out for inflationary rises in the UK's 2016 Budget and the year before and in 2015 was the only category not to receive a 2% cut, with the WSTA last month publishing economic research by Ernst Young which indicated such a cut would boost the wine and spirits industry economic contribution by £2.9bn and also increase Treasury revenues by £368m.
"There is now less than a month to go before the Chancellor unveils his Budget – we are urging Philip Hammond to recognise the monumental challenge facing an industry that supports 270,000 jobs and contributes £19.9bn to the economy by making a 2% duty cut," added Beale.
I do think it is ridiculous to compound the effects of inflation and Brexit (weak pound). It is the weak pound that has caused inflation surely? Inflation figures are based on looking at recent prices of products, including wine. It doesn't mean these prices are going to go up again by inflation.
Wine has always been an easy target for different governments and the drive to eradicate Chablis Drinking Hoodies from viscously throwing their corks at people on a Saturday night has lead to these hikes. When will the government and their advisors stop ruining a trade that raises plenty of money for them anyway.
It might be an idea to change those Chablis Drinking Hoodies back onto the cheap and nasty cider they used to enjoy!

The legendary Poachers Arms is a pub which is always open, can be found just round the corner from anywhere, and where the regular patrons make no pretence at being respectable citizens.
Last night I found it beside a small railway station on top of a hill. I joined another regular at the bar and ordered a Lochyloch single malt whisky to start the night off. Macy the barwoman poured me a double shot for the price of a single and when I thanked her she looked offended and informed me it wouldn't happen again.
I got talking to the Regular about this and that, and someone he knew who had once sat on a spiked iron railing and slightly lacerated some essential parts of his digestive system and had afterwards said it was the most interesting thing to happen in his life. I could see his point, I said, ignoring the snigger at the unintentional pun. The Regular couldn't, and claimed that boredom was a disease, especially when the world was becoming a better place.
"Is it?" I said.
"You can see the data," he said.
"That depends partly on what you choose to measure," I said.
"Infant mortality is falling across the world."
"But," I pointed out, "It's not a good measure because billions of dollars have been poured into precisely getting that figure down. It doesn't mean people's lives have improved in other ways."
"But our standard of living has improved," said Macy.
"For some people, in some places," I said. "But inequality increased in Britain all through the Labour years. In the meantime things having been happening that are difficult to pick up in the data."
"Like what?" said the Regular.
"Like a shift in power to concentrations of corporations and a shift in thinking funded by those with the money. I think this means things are going to get worse for most people in most countries for a good couple of decades. What's happening now is a new thing. It will be hard to stop."
"What do you think we can do about it?" said the Regular. I know his views on politics. He doesn't think it a good use of his time. With which I don't entirely disagree. It isn't a good use of anyone's time.
But Macy broke in, "People's lives are full of other things. Full of the everyday things we have to do. Work, going food shopping, all that stuff we don't get any choice about."
"And people will do what they are motivated to do," said the Regular.
"So we leave it to the people motivated by money to run the world?" I said.
"We've got lives to live," said Macy.
I downed the Lochyloch – a waste of good whisky but I had to fortify myself for a boring speech – and said "But this specialisation is what dooms us. Your job is pulling the pints and changing the barrels. Their job is making millions of pounds and they fuck up the world. The compartmentalisation of roles is screwing us. In the meantime those few people have formed a very effective power bloc and the only way I can see to break it is for the many people with little power to unite against them."
"But in the end it's about changing the terms of the debate," said the Regular.
Macy absent-mindedly poured me another Lochyloch as I said, "In a way, but that isn't just a matter of persuasion. You have to exert power. You think the directors who got 50% payrises last year while our wages stayed static and lost out to inflation can be 'persuaded' things should be done differently? The organisation of power against those in charge and changing the terms of debate are one and the same thing."
"I get off at 12," said Macy. "I don't know what to do to change anything, and I need to be in bed by 1am cos my next shift is at 11am tomorrow."
"I don't know what to do to change it either," I said. "None of us do yet. We've got to talk about it."
"And talk and talk and talk and talk," said a voice to my right. I turned to see another of the Poachers Arms regulars. "God you three are boring. Can't a man have a drink in peace? I'm going to order a pint of anthrax to kill myself in a minute if you lot don't stop."
I raised my glass. "To the end of tedium," I said. "Especially mine."
We clinked glasses.

KAILUA-KONA » The Kona Airport control tower, a wooden structure built 36 years ago as a temporary facility, is riddled with termites.
U.S. Sen. Daniel Inouye announced yesterday that he has succeeded in having $6.5 million in U.S. Department of Transportation funds redirected for design and construction of a new tower. The total cost of a new tower is estimated at $26 million.
Inouye described an inspection visit he made Feb. 22.
"I saw that the tower, built of wood, has been weakened by termites. In addition to the structural problems, the tower's location and height do not provide air traffic controllers with adequate visibility of a portion of the runway," he said in a statement.
The tower is also open to the public, which creates a security risk, he said.
A senior member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Inouye asked the Federal Aviation Administration to provide a timetable for the completion of site and design assessment and beginning of construction of a new tower.
With the initial $6.5 million being only enough to get the project started, Inouye said he will seek funding to complete construction.

Cape Dorset, Nunavut Territory, Canada
Lukta and his father, Kiakshuk, were both featured in the famous "Sculpture/Inuit. Sculpture of the Inuit: Masterworks of the Canadian Arctic" touring exhibition (1971-73). His sister, the graphic artist Paunichea, is the mother of Aqjangajuk Shaa. Lukta's three sons are also strong and innovative carvers. [Padlaya Qiatsuk, Pootoogook Qiatsuk] Since the 1950s, Lukta has been an important figure in the art of Cape Dorset, gaining recognition as a sculptor, a graphic artist and a printmaker (he trained in the beginning days in 1957-58). He was the main printer for more than two hundred graphics, including a good number of the most highly esteemed images. As a sculptor, he likes both figurative and wildlife subjects, and has an interest in birds, particularly owls.

The horrible, tragic events in Norway last week reminded us that extremism and violence can come from unexpected people. When news of the bombing in Oslo first broke, there was an immediate assumption across all the various media outlets that certainly this crime had been perpetrated by Islamic extremists. When news of the greater tragedy emerged – the terrible shooting-spree that killed dozens of young people on a nearby island – and it was reported that the shooter looked like a Norwegian police officer, people began to question whether it was indeed the act of Islamist terrorists.
Now we know that the Norwegian citizen who committed these crimes, devastating lives and disturbing the conscience of a nation, had no connection with Islam at all. He was acting on a much different set of beliefs, and he claimed the identity of "Christian."
There were a number of Christian folks who responded by appropriately pointing out that this man's actions were not Christian at all, that no follower of Christ could ever legitimately commit such actions in the name of the "Prince of Peace." These are my thoughts exactly, of course. There is nothing Christian at all in this man's behavior or thinking. And I realized, as I listened to one news report who was interviewing someone making this point, that this is exactly how members of the Muslim community must have felt in the aftermath of 9/11: the people who committed these actions do not represent our faith.
It would seem, then, that those of us in the Christian world find ourselves in the shoes that have long been occupied now by our Muslim brothers and sisters: of having to defend our faith by making it clear that the actions of a violent terrorist do not represent who we are or what we stand for. There is a huge discrepancy, however, that separates our need to do that from the effort of the vast majority of the Muslim community to do the same for their faith: most people believe us.
Christianity is far more known in the Western world than Islam, and so there are far more people willing to understand that this man's actions represent an aberration rather than what the Christian faith is about. Yet Islam is far less known, and because it represents to us an "other" that Christianity does not, a great number of people are not willing to believe members of the Islamic community when they try to tell us what their faith is really about. And so while we Christians may have found ourselves stepping into the shoes of our Muslim neighbors, the path we walk in those shoes is very different.
People may object that "Muslim" terrorists are far more prevalent and have committed more violence than "Christian"ones, but we should not be mistaken: there are "Christian" terrorists in the world, but they largely operate outside our field of vision, in places like Africa, where a group called "The Lord's Army" has been presiding over a reign of terror for years. In his book, The Next Christendom: The Coming Global Christianity published in 2002, Philip Jenkins argues in disturbing terms that in years to come, "Christian" terrorism may well become far more of a problem in the world than "Muslim" terrorism.
We need to learn the lesson well: none of the world's religious traditions condone the kind of violence that shattered lives in Oklahoma City in the 1990s, took down the Twin Towers on 9/11 or destroyed peace and lives in Norway last week. Yet, there are always those whose own twisted minds and spirits would use the sacred to justify their profane acts of violence. All people of faith, regardless of the tradition from which we come, should stand together to celebrate the authentic heart of our sacred traditions and against those who would twist them into something ugly and heartless.

Glen Schaefer, writer for The Province, did a nice piece on Continuum and the character I play, Jasmine Garza. He also got Simon Barry, show creator/writer/producer, and Rachel Nichols, who plays the lead Kiera Cameron, to chime in.
The actor you see in the photo with me is Eric Knudsen. We like to refer to him as an acting savant. There is literally NOTHING this actor can't do! I am surrounded by so much passion and talent that I feel inspired and permeated by their brilliance. When those around you raise the bar, you can't help but be affected and inspired. I am thankful for the opportunity to play with the cast and crew of Continuum.

The degree to which the 'literary' - metaphor, fictions, figurative language etc - inhabits and is necessary to philosophy is a question which Deleuze keeps returning to. The 'conceptual personae' is one response to this question.
To formulate the Cogito, the famous "I think therefore I am", Descartes needs the persona of the Idiot. The Idiot though, is pre-philosophical, or rather pre-conceptual in the sense that he is the prior condition of the concept. He prepares for philosophy proper. The Idiot, innocent or unlearned, disturbs the field of 'received wisdom'. The Idiot requires that we have to explain everything anew, from scratch, so that the world be available to the Idiot, who knows nothing, who lives without the overlay of learning. And in doing this, in having to meet the Idiot on his level, the gaps in in 'what everyone knows' are revealed. We can no longer get round them. Suddenly we are stumbling and stuttering. The encounter with the Idiot makes us relearn how to think. The figure of the Idiot thus prepares the ground for this new thinking but also entails a new implicit picture of what thinking is. Deleuze's point is that every great conceptual innovation drags in its wake a new image of what thinking actually consists in. So it's not that thinking is an underlying constant that generates ever new concepts. In a way, the new concepts generate the thinking.
The conceptual persona can be explicit but often implicit. That is, the philosopher may make visible, as a fleshed out character, the persona who enables a certain kind of thinking. Nietzsche's Zarathustra is an obvious example. But not necessarily, the Cartesian Idiot is an enabling fictional position from which Descartes speaks without being directly visible. "'I think as Idiot"' (Deleuze). It as a mask but it is not Descartes in disguise. In fact, Descartes must supress himself in order to enter the mask and start thinking anew. The mask engenders the thinker.
life is something altogether different from what it is for ordinary people. Above all, things such as money, the stock market, foreign exchange or a typewriter are utterly miraculous (as indeed they are, only not to the rest of us). . . . Is his work at the office, for instance, anything like an ordinary job? To him the office, including his own part in it, is as mysterious and wonderful as a locomotive is to a small child. Have you ever been to the post office with him? Watched him compose a telegram, shake his head while he picks a window he likes best and then, without the least notion of why and wherefore, starts wandering about from one window to the next? . . . No, this entire world is and remains a mystery to him, an enigmatic myth.But once again, as in Descartes, this figure of the idiot is enabling, generating something new, something radical - in Kafka's case a new kind of fiction, a new beam, in light of which the world is transfigured, but also, for him personally, a kind of elective abstention from the world.

The Future is Now
My oldest went to school wearing two ties.
My 3rd grader decided to have her school birthday today.
And my 2-year-old is "thirsty to the future!"
October 21, 2015
Yep, it's that date we nerdy Back to the Future fans have been waiting for… for thirty years.
There are several articles about the movie. Twitter is trending #BTTF and #FutureisNow Where are the actors now? What predictions were correct? We don't have flying cars and hoverboards, but we do have flat screen TVs (that take up a wall) Skype and Google Glass, etc. etc. etc.
My hubby has an interesting theory about that. He thinks that some of the predictions came true not just through the natural course of technology, but because of the movies that showed what the future could be.
Makes sense.
Companies like Apple, Google, and Microsoft have teams of thinkers who would have enjoyed Back to the Future and other such movies. They probably thought, "That'd be so cool! I wonder if we could make that?"
Which of course was the main message of the trilogy: "It means the future hasn't been written yet… The future is whatever you make it; so make it a good one."
Today's Futuristic Predictions
The first Back to the Future movie came out Summer of 1985. Thirty years later Disney released Tomorrowland with its own predictions of the future. Interestingly, Today's futuristic movie has a similar message: "If you dream it, you can do it."
Writers of Tomorrowland learned from the Sci-fi of yesteryear. Rather than choose a specific date (which ultimately dates the film), they thought up a countdown clock, a timeline that counts down instead of up. So the "dooms day" could be in thirty years or thirty centuries. And we all have the power to reset the clock.
Recreating our Reality
Last Saturday, we re-watched Back to the Future I and my 10-year-old loved the scene where Marty uses an 'mp3 player' to convince his dad that he's an alien from outer space. I laughed. "That's not an mp3 player," but it gave me another theory about those predictions.
Some of the predictions helped create reality, and some of our reality is being construed to fit the prediction. For example, we don't have self-adjusting clothes, but I am so grateful to whoever invented adjustable waists in pants (it's just a button and elastic, but still – genius!)
We don't have smart houses wired to the hilt (yet), but we do have smart cars that practically drive themselves and voice activated Siri and Cortana who "learn" about us and make our life easier. We don't have drones walking dogs, but we do have drones doing our dirty work.
All these things… did we invent them because of the movie, or are we looking at what we have and saying, "Well, close enough."?
Celebrating Back to the Future Day... 80's style
I have glow sticks and "hoverboards" (to play air hockey with). I bought the soundtrack (mp3 version) and already have the trilogy (from the 90's, but you can get the awesome 30th anniversary with all that bonus content). Oh! I think I'm out of popcorn... I've got to go to that large consumer goods facility and use my plastic currency to get some.

Listening to the Board of Directors
One of the pitfalls of being a CEO is not listening negative feedback from your board of directors. Freddie Mac CEO Charles E. Haldeman, Jr. tells us how he is avoiding this trap.

Next Thursday, december 8th, the next "Connection Day", organized by the "Belgian Dynamics Community" will be happening .. and it's a promesing one. At least .. it's definitely a nice agenda.
First of all, there's a Keynote of the famous Guus Krabbenborg, partner in a Dutch based consulting company "Partner Master Class". I think he's very well known in the benelux by his "Terdege" newsletter - read by pretty well the entire NAV Community in the Benelux. He will give an overview of the cloud transformation process, with opportunies and threats.
After that .. it should have been Freddy Kristiansen's turn (you know - from Freddy's blog.). A few months ago, I invited him to do a session about a Windows Phone app - which extends the business application. I saw that session once (I thought at Directions EMEA) and I really liked it. He accepted .. but unfortunately had to cancel it, because of a conflict in his agenda.. .
Nevertheless, I still wanted to go through with it - it being just too interesting not to show - so I took the challenge to do the session myself. I've been in contact with Freddy, making it work on my environment .. and I have been studying that solution - and the cloud in general - ever since :-/ .
Of course, I'm not a c# guru like Freddy, and I won't pretend it to be. But I have one advantage - I didn't understand sh*t about the cloud .. so I might know how to explain it to you ;°).
The session is going to be quite a technical session, which - I hope - is going to show you how the cloud can simplify your life (sometimes, when you want to simplify things, you have to invest in complexity .. (OK, ignore that .. just wanted to sound more intelligent than I actually am .. )).
See you Thursday!

Google Earth's new measuring tool is a fun toy for geography nerds
Mapping apps have long allowed us to measure the distance between multiple locations around the globe – but if you're looking for more precise figures, you'll want to try the latest feature in Google Earth.
The new Measure tool lets you plot as many points as you like on a part of the globe to find out the distance between two points or calculate the perimeter and area between more points.
It works like a charm in the Android app and in Chrome on your desktop; here's me trying to measure the office space TNW takes up in Amsterdam, and the race course in my hometown of Bangalore, India:
Naturally, you can measure larger spaces like parks and race tracks, and even distances as-the-crow-flies between major cities and landmarks. If you've ever been curious about how big or small the various public facilities in your town are, this is a great way to find out.
You can try Measure right now in Google Earth for Chrome and Android; it will soon come to the iOS app as well. Oh, and if you want to measure smaller stuff – like the size of your living room or the length of your standing desk – you can try Google's new Measure AR app for Android.

Photography Guide
equipment guide | camera technique | photo composition | career
A Career in Sport Photography
Here is a short guide to making money from your photos and making a career as a photographer.
Photography Jobs
There are a large range of job opportunities for photographers, including the following:
- a photographer in a specialist area such as weddings, sports and fashion
- working for a newspaper or magazine
- art and design, stock photos
- fine art photography
What does a Sport Photographer do?
Sports photographers usually work for a newspaper, magazine or an agency which supplies images to those, and often working as a freelancer selling their work to the relevant publications. The job is demanding, requiring a lot of travel and long hours. As a bonus the sports photographer has many opportunities to attend major sporting events, making it a desirable job for the sports fan. It is not all fun though. The job predominantly entails taking pictures of athletes in action, which may require plenty of preparation, long hours waiting and watching for the perfect shot. You will often be working to deadlines, under pressure to get a good shot that can be used.
How to become a Sport Photographer
You need to be skilled and creative but also need to put in a lot of hard work initially for little rewards. A sports photographer will usually need to supply their own photographic equipment. You can start out by building up your own portfolio by taking photos at local sporting events. You will need to promote yourself, as it is a very competitive industry. Show your work to the local paper, looking for small jobs to start. Join a photography club in your area and enroll in basic, intermediate and advanced photography courses. Upload your photos online and hopefully a break will come your way.

The Bachelor Ben Flajnik Picks His Final Two
Flajnik sends one woman home after a romantic trip to Switzerland – and a bachelorette comes back
With three women left vying for his affections, The Bachelor Ben Flajnik flew to Switzerland in Monday night's episode for a series of cozy, cold weather dates.
The final three – Courtney, Lindzi and Nicki – spent quality "fantasy suite" time with Ben before he narrowed the field down to two. And the episode was not without a good old-fashioned reality show surprise.
So which two women remain in the running and who surprised Ben with a return engagement? Caution: SPOILERS AHEAD
Before Ben sent anyone home, his last-eliminated love interest, Kacie B., surprised him in Switzerland, looking for closure.
"I didn't see that coming at all," she says of their breakup. "It's hard for me to get that out of my mind."
"For me, I kind felt like we were worlds apart," Ben told her. "Did I see you in the end? No. And the last thing I wanted to do was drag it out longer for you. That was my way of protecting you."
Kacie then issued one last warning about controversial frontrunner Courtney. "I feel like if you were to choose that if you were to choose Courtney you would get your heart broken," she said of the trash-talking contestant.
"It seems like she's in this to win it. She has made comments like, 'If it's not Ben, there are other fish in the sea.' It makes me sick to think that you could be hurt again, if you pick her."
Despite Kacie's advice, Ben gave roses to Courtney and Lindzi, sending Nicki home.
"I cried a little bit today, I'm not gonna lie," Ben told Nicki as they said goodbye. "But I started to have doubts."
"I just hope you're making the right decision," Nicki told Ben as he walked her out. His response? "Believe me, I do too."
Added a tearful Nicki before she got into the limo: "I fell in love with you, I don't regret that. If anything, my fear is that you'll be hurt one day and I hope that's not the case. And I hope I'm proved wrong."

For several months now, I'm following this wonderful blog full of delicious recipes from around the world. Bobbi Marshall recreates all these dishes in her own kitchen and lets us have a look via her blog BAM's Kitchen . And of course just like me all fellow followers are so grateful to her! Born in the USA she's currently living in Asia and loves to travel around the world. All her culinary experiences come back in BAM's Kitchen and that's what makes her blog unique. Not so long ago she has visited Italy as well and before her trip we got in touch. She wanted some tips on restaurants or dishes in the extremely romantic Cinque Terre (Liguria). Even though I've been there in the past, I couldn't remember a good restaurant. But, of course I recommended to try the famous local dish "Trofie al pesto". And so she did! I'm very honored that Bobbi wants to share her experience, photos and recipe of this mouth-watering dish and this extraordinary part of Italy on my blog. Grazie mille Bobbi!!
To see the post on her blog you can click here. Use this time to discover her blog and all the amazing recipes she's sharing with all of us. You'll love it!
Hello my name is Bobbi from http://bamskitchen.com/. I am so pleased to be able to meet some new faces out there and say hello again to some very dear fellow bloggers. Letizia has asked me to do my first guest post and I am very honored and thankful. If it was not for Letizia's help, I would never have been able to share with you my delightful experiences that are in this post. I think the world is a very small place and is getting smaller each and every day. I do not mean in the physical sense that the earth is shrinking but it is through our acquaintances and experiences that brings us, and the poles of the earth, closer together. 20 Years ago the world seemed like a vast place and little did I know much outside my little home and neighborhood. However, after living abroad, traveling abroad and sharing in a unique international world of very special foodie and travel bloggers the world is a very small and cozy place.
I met a delightful fellow travel and foodie writer, Letizia, that hosts a delightful website. Letizia Argiolu was born and raised in Rotterdam (The Netherlands) but she is now living in Borgomanero (Italy). Letizia spends most of her spare time traveling and experiencing Italy to the fullest and lucky for us she documents all of her unique findings and experiences on her website. Prior to my travels to Italy, I touched based with Letizia to find out some must stop destinations and culinary delights that I should try along the way.
My travels took me to Italy and to the beautiful destination of Cinque Terre, which is located on a rugged portion of coast on the Italian Riviera. It is in the Liguria region of Italy just to the west of the city of La Spezia.
The word Cinque Terre means the five lands. "The Five Lands" is composed of five villages: Monterosso al Mare,Vernazza, Corniglia, Manarola, and Riomaggiore. The coastline, the five villages, and the surrounding hillsides are all part of the Cinque Terre National Park. Cinque Terre is stunning and is a must do if you happen to visit this region.
Cinque Terre area has stunningly views and is very relaxing. Cinque Terre is a series of villages clinging to a remote stretch of the Riviera coastline. Each of these little towns has many pastel homes embedded into the sea wall overlooking the ocean. The rugged villages of the Cinque Terre, founded by Dark Age locals hiding out from pirates, were long cut off from the modern world. However, today the villages are linked together by a train, a ferry, and many hiking trails.
To preserve the character of the towns and the area's natural beauty, the government declared the Cinque Terre a national park a few years ago. Visitors pay a small entrance fee, to help maintain the trails between the villages. In addition, there are no cars allowed in the villages so it transportation by train or foot. We stayed in a sweet little town of Levanto just west of Cinque Terre. We took the train and started our 20-minute journey down to the end of the line to see the little town of Riomaggiore. Fresh sea breezes, blue skies, gorgeous houses, sunsets, and they serve great Aperol Spritzes just along the sea. I was in heaven. We had wanted to do the little hike from Riomaggiore, the Via dell' Amore (walkway of love) leads to Manarola. However due to erosion and land slides this area was cut off from visitors. So instead we just took in the beauty of the moment and watched the sunset and enjoyed our Aperol Spritzes. We would have loved to stop at each of the 5 cities in Cinque Terre but we ran out of daylight and the next morning we had torrential rains. However, our stay in Cinque Terre was so very memorable and it will give us a reason to come back again soon.
Cinque Terre is a beautiful region but the food in the Liguiria region is outstanding. There is one dish that Letizia suggested that I must try while I was there and that was the famous "Trofie al Pesto". I have recreated Trofie al Pesto in Bam's Kitchen and it is just gorgeous and I have placed the recipe below just for your convenience.
Serves 4 adults as a 'primo' (starter) or 1 hungry teenager
Adapted from http://helenskitchen.com and helpful hints from the beautiful people in the city of Levanto, Italy.
Homemade Trofie Pasta
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp table salt
- 1 cup cold water
Step 1: Make the Dough: In a large bowl mix flour with the salt.
Step 2: Make well and add the water in the well and mix slowly with a fork.
Step 3: When the dough mixture is pulled together start mixing the dough with your hands until well incorporated. Check the dough for consistency as it should feel slightly tacky but your finger should come back clean when you push it in the dough. Add more flour if too wet and if too dry start to knead dough and see if the natural moisture from your hands will convert the dough and if not can add a little drop of water.
Step 4: Place a little dusting of flour on your wooden board and knead the dough for at least 8-10 minutes or until the dough is very smooth. Nice and easy kneading and turn your dough with each press. This is a very important step in the process to activate the gluten in the dough and give your pasta that very delicious texture.
Step 5: Form your dough into a disk shape and dust flour on top and bottom of dough and wrap tightly with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for at least one hour or even overnight.
Step 6: Form the Trofie Pasta: Sprinkle your work surface and your plates that you will be placing your formed Trofie pasta on with lots of flour. Cut a ½ inch rope section from the dough and roll the dough into a rope about 1/4 inch size in width with your hands – kind of like what you used to do as a kid with play dough. (Make sure that your covers the remaining dough back up with plastic wrap so it does not dry out.)
Step 7: Now cut the rope horizontally into little sections about 1/4 inch in size or even smaller if you can.
Step 8: Take one piece of cut dough into the palm of your hand and roll in one direction from bottom of palm up to the top of your fingers. Now you should have created this adorable little crescent pasta shape. Repeat this process until you have made enough Trofie pasta to feed enough for your family/friends. Place your completed little Trofie crescents shapes on the well-floured plates. (I would highly suggest you recruit your family, kids and friends in this event so you can eat sooner) It is a bit time intensive but very easy to do. Share a glass or two of fantastic Ligurian wines while you play with the dough and it goes even quicker…
Step 9: Now on to the finishing touches…
Homemade Ligurian Pesto and Finishing touches
- 2 cups basil leaves
- 1/4 cup pine nuts (I toasted mine first)
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 4 Tbsp butter (yes! butter in the Pesto that is the Ligurian way and their special secret for deliciousness)
- Salt to taste
- 1/2 ladle of pasta water
- Extra butter for frying up and the finishing touches to the Ligurian Trofie al Pesto (I did not say this dish was low calorie but it is amazingly delicious)
- Garnish with extra parmesan and fresh sprigs of basil
Step 1: Making the Pesto: Place basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan cheese in blender or food processor and blend. Slowly add the oil in and continue to blend.
Step 2: Add the butter a little at a time to the food processor and keep blending until creamy and smooth. Season with salt as required.
Step 3: Cooking the Trofie pasta: In a large pot bring at least 4 quarts of water to boil. Salt well as this gives flavor to the pasta.
Step 4: Once the water is at full boil, slowly add about 1/4 -1/2 of the homemade pasta at a time to the water. Depending how large you rolled your pasta it will take between 1-3 minutes to cook your pasta until a firm al dente. Your pasta will float up to the top and you will know that is nearly cooked. Just simply test pasta to confirm if al dente.
Step 5: Remove and drain pasta from water and set aside. Repeat with second batch of pasta. (I did it in separate batches as it is easier to manage this way and it does not drop the temperature of your water so much doing small batches at a time.)
Step 6: In a large frying pan, place a large knob of butter and add your cooked Trofie pasta. Next add about 1/2 to 3/4 of your delicious Ligurian Pesto, 1/2 ladle of your pasta water and delicately stir until well incorporated. Place your delicious Trofie al Pesto in bowls and garnish with a grating of fresh Parmesan Reggiano and a sprig of fresh basil.

Join Catherine Mattice Zundel for an in-depth discussion in this video What you should know before watching this course, part of Managing Diversity.
- Before we get started on implementing diversity and inclusion in your workplace, I thought it was important to address a few things. First, you should know that the terms Managing Diversity and Inclusive Work Environment have different meanings. Managing Diversity generally refers to complying with the law, while an Inclusive Work Environment is created by choice. If you're creating an Inclusive Work Environment, then you are going above and beyond compliance, and you are celebrating diversity with strategic initiatives that require, budget, time, and resources.
Second, note that this course is focused on creating an inclusive work environment. It is not exclusively focused on how to be compliant with the law or helping you secure government contracts. The information in this course will help you in both of these areas, but you should speak to your attorney about compliance. And the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs is a great resource for information about diversity in government contracting. With all that in mind, let's get started.
She outlines a process for creating a strategic plan and benchmarks for success. To bring your plan to life, she provides tips for implementing a diversity policy, recruiting and hiring, and asking diversity-related questions during interviews. (Compliance issues are also discussed along the way.) Catherine also explains how to integrate diversity within the performance management processes, including measuring employees on their ability to work well with others and measuring managers on their ability to drive and implement diversity initiatives.
Last, she covers "people practices," such as improving communication through open-door policies and ensuring work-life balance accommodates employees' lives and family responsibilities. When you're faced with organizational challenges, such as resistance to change, prejudice, or fear, Catherine provides tools to address them head-on.

Please dont call me aunty!
If you are in your late 30s, i am sure you start to worry about so many things. Grey hair are not welcome but keep on growing, usually it grow inside so its invisible from people's view now its beginning to 'show off'. It looks like a trademark.. if you grey hair are visible ..it sounded like this ..'hey ya.. this lady is 30s.. you can call her aunty'. I never like it when a sales person call me 'aunty'.. try me.
There is one time this boy said "aunty, this one is only rm59 and i can give you discount, i asked him did he just call me aunty and he look at me looking 'aah ya' with his confuse face. He wanted to sale me the item, he should persuade in a good manner, if he call me miss or madam i would probably buy it without any discount (my ego) but since he just call me aunty, i left the place without buying anything. My husband said, "i think you have to get used of being called aunty". He is right but the guy called my hubby 'bro' not uncle.
I present myself better for office, appropriate makeup and dressing (that's how i feel) because i need to communicate with so many people from in and outside the office. Not because my job requires me to be presentable but it is my principal and responsibility. But to admit, i don't really look good during the weekend especially going out doing marketing or enjoying outdoor family time unless attending wedding or events that requires me to look good. So doing my grocery, i can really be mistaken as an aunty (not that i am not).
While you are reading, i am writing this with a mirror in front of me. Okay i have to admit it is not wrong for young people to call me aunty, but for sales person, calling anyone especially ladies 'aunty' is a no no. Younger people, say teenagers call me aunty, i will be very happy but those in the 20s and especially if you look like 30s (my ego) the simple manner you can use is sis or kak, if to stranger just call madam. Ah and my name sound better than aunty!.
Not to blame anyone for calling me aunty, it is just my ego.

I hate it too. Call me Maam or Puan to show respect not Kak or Aunty.

Hello would you mind sharing which blog platform you're working with?
I'm looking to start my own blog in the near future but I'm
having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something unique.
P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

omance novels aren't usually the subject of sermons, but they were on the 17th of June 2007 at the Presbyterian Church of Laurelhurst. In the past I've posted about the theme of sin and redemption in the romance genre, and in that post I included a comment by Rev. Melinda. Now Melinda's posted a sermon in which she says that
romance novels, like so much other human art and expression—and indeed, like so much of our spiritual writing and faith life--and like our Bible passage for today, come to that—these novels deal with eternal and essential questions like "What is love? Do you love me? Do you know me? Am I worthy? Am I lovable? And how can I best reveal and express my love?"I'd encourage you to go and read the whole of the sermon, but I'm going to quote from some of the passages in which she examines three common romance plots in order to discover what their underlying spiritual message. The first plot concerns the
powerful, handsome, wealthy Duke [who] falls in love with the mousy, intellectual, poverty-stricken, unsuitable governess—and sometimes she's even in disguise—a woman no one else notices or thinks attractive. He sees her, though; he looks past the surface, sees through her disguise, thinks she is beautiful, and falls in love with the woman she really is.The second is about
I think this plot speaks to our overwhelming need to be seen for who we really are and loved anyway—even if we believe that "real, revealed self" is unworthy, or inadequate, or unlovable.
the wild, frightening, tortured hero with dark secrets [who] meets a young sweet innocent woman who, against all reason, trusts him and believes in him. He saves her from disaster, and in turn he is changed and saved by her love.and finally
Doesn't this speak to us of our abiding hope that that that no matter what our dark secrets, sins or deficiencies, we can be loved enough to be forgiven, redeemed and saved?
In a marriage of convenience, the hero and heroine are forced to marry, usually at least one of them reluctantly and grudgingly. Along the course of the novel they encounter adventures, disasters, trials, and situations that require them to help, care, and support one another. Strangely enough they fall in love by the end of the book. Maybe because they've learned how to do loving things, and in the doing of love they've learned to embrace one another in love. [...] Love is not only a feeling. Love is a doing. Love isn't something that happens to you. Love is something you do for others. It's an active pursuit, a work of faith. And it's revealed in your acts of service, your acts of kindness, your acts of mercy, your care for those around you who are in need.
The initial letter 'R' is an illumination in the Winchester Bible (1160-75), from the Web Gallery of Art. I hope it's alright for me to use the image, as it's for an educational purpose, this being an academic blog.

MTV's new original family drama Finding Carter centers on a teenager (Kathryn Prescott) who learns the woman who she thought was her mother actually abducted her as a toddler and must adjust to life with her biological family while looking for her on-the-lam "mom" (whew).
One questioner today at TCA pointed out an unusual occurrence for the TV press tour: The 8-person panel of actors and executive producers included only one man. (The lineup: actors Prescott, Anna Jacoby-Heron, Milena Govich, Cynthia Watros, lone-guy Alexis Denisof and EPs Terri Minsky, Deb Spera and Maria Grasso.)
Coincidence? The producers don't think so. Spera noted "our DP is a woman" and that everyone is very cognizant of the fact that three women are at the helm of what is essentially a women's story. "I don't think of it as deliberately: 'Oooh, I have to have women,' it's just that women understood the emotion of the show," said Minsky. "I hired people who understood the show." She noted that many elements of the show grew out of her relationship with her own daughter.
Prescott agreed. "In so much TV you see women who are secondary characters … they are only there be cause of their relation to a male lead," she said. "What's great about this is it's about Carter, her two mothers, her relationship with them." Her character will have relationships with boys, but "it's not like the central story line. It's very secondary."

The boost in detoxifying enzymes triggered by cruciferous vegetable consumption may last for weeks!
Prolonged Liver-Function Enhancement from Broccoli
Doctor's Note
To review what I covered previously about the remarkable detoxifying effect of cruciferous vegetables, see my videos The Best Detox, and Sometimes the Enzyme Myth is True. You can overdo it, but apparently only at extremely high doses—see Liver Toxicity Due to Broccoli Juice, Overdosing on Greens, and How Much Broccoli is Too Much?
Wasn't the protective effect of fruit and vegetable consumption against cancer called into question, though? See my video: EPIC Study.
What other foods may mediate the effects of the mutagenic compounds in cooked meat? See Cancer, Interrupted: Green Tea, and Cancer, Interrupted: Garlic & Flavonoids. What are these heterocyclic amines? You must have missed my four-part video series, starting with Estrogenic Cooked Meat Carcinogens.
What are the health effects of that caffeine buzz? See Coffee & Cancer, and What About the Caffeine?
More about the implications of frying veggie burgers in Carcinogens in the Smell of Frying Bacon, which I'll update next in Meat Fumes: Dietary Secondhand Smoke—stay tuned!

I once took cranberry capsules to ward off urinary tract infections. After a week or so I developed red spots all over my body's lower half–called the doctor. He asked what was new and I described my cranberry food supplement addition. He advised me that each cranberry capsule has the chemistry of a pound of cranberries and that I had apparently set up a sensitivity to them in my body. He told me to stop taking them and be careful to not eat cranberry products since my body may have a reaction to them that could be worse. Once since then I drank 4 ounces of cranberry juice and the spots returned. I now avoid all ingestion of cranberries.
I know this comment is off topic but it is an interesting experience with food supplements.
Thanks for the broccoli endorsement–even if I have become a vegan it is interesting. It may deter even cancers caused by other sources as well.
Dr. Colin Campbell once spoke at a book signing here in Austin. He mentioned that cancer causes are ubiquitous, and we encounter them in many ways. He said that they are like a seed. Whether they implant, root and grow depends on what you feed them. He pointed out that cancer prefers the casein protein as food. I decided to cut out dairy.
Great post MIchael. I think the only point I would make about grilling veggies is that while you don't need to worry about HCAs, you do need to be concerned about advanced glycation endproducts like acrylamides. Depends of course how long, how hot and how dry the grill is.
I think this explaines why my caffeine craving has increased since becoming mostly vegan. Any less harmful alternatives to caffeine, or shall I just have a broccoli chaser with my espresso?
I believe Dr. G would recommend green tea as a healthier alternative. See his videos on the topic.

hi James! I went cold turkey 2 yrs ago and have never had a drop of coffee since. I was sick detoxing it out of my body for a week…food for thought as to just how addictive coffee really is….I do not miss ot at all and if I need a "pick me up" I drink water! I also drink lots of green juices – my fave is sliced "coins" of ginger & curcuma that I bring to a boil, turn off and mascerste over night or at least for a few hours before drinking….deicious! tastes way better than any coffee I remember…..
Perfect timing I was just discussing liver function with a friend yesterday.
Don't forget the stalks are equally nutritious. I like to slice the stalks in such a way that I create broccoli "coins."
Mike: Good point. I've made those "coins" you are talking about in the past. I enjoyed them.
Here's another tip for people: I've recently started enjoying 'broccoli slaw'. It is a packaged food – where manufacturers are slicing broccoli stems into super-thin sticks and adding some carrots. For someone who is not a fan of chopping, eating the broccoli slaw is a great way to get some broccoli.
I read years ago that the broccoli stalks are higher in alkaloids somewhat toxic to the liver. These alkaloids are produced as deterrents to insects crawling towards the nutritious tips. Perhaps it needs more research.
R Ian Flett: I appreciate the info, but what a bummer! I'm going to research this some. If true, it will make it harder for me to get my broccoli on. (sigh) Thanks for taking the time to write this.
the alkaloids are the protective part, and this is the whole plant… thankfully our stomachs are nice and acidic to help us break it down
Could this not indicate that the elevation in the enzymes is due to the body reacting to a sort of toxic ingestion?
Is there a difference between raw and cooked broccoli? Its often served raw on salads, but some authors suggest its dangerous to eat raw, while others claim its necessary to eat it raw to obtain its most important beneficial effects.
Raw broccoli can both be beneficial, while cooking deactivates certain compounds such as sulforaphane, it enhances others. There is not toxicity seen with eating raw broccoli unless consuming over 100 cups per day which is not feasible on a normal diet.
I always tell my carnivorous friends they can be "virtual-vegans" if they merely have a big salad & a big side of broccoli with their steak-&-potatoes dinner; but I thought of it as tricking them into noticing how good the broccoli is. Who knew it was no trick?
A new study has shown broccoli protects against liver cancer http://m.jn.nutrition.org/content/early/2016/02/10/jn.115.228148.abstract
I think I had seen research results at the AACR meeting 2012 in Washington DC that broccoli protects especially against mould toxin-caused liver cancer, but the protecting effect now has been shown to be a more general one.
I thought this was in my head. I used to get a buzz from about 3 beers a day, but when I started on large amount plant based whole cruciferous veggie like red cabbage and broccoli it took nearly 5 beers to do the job of 3.
Since I train quite heavy as a semi-competitive cyclist, I always look for signs of degradation from diet and training. In this scenario there was no additional degradation. I was sure it was due to diet but this confirms it.

Hello to all. I searched the forum but still didnt find what i wanted.
1. Does the Jelq Gym work well? I understand you can make one but after watching the video, I like the fact that you
can Jelq dry and it looks simplier than using your hand. Have any of you guys used this and how well does it work.
Does it work better than the hand because it keeps the form consistant? Any info would be appreciated and I dont care
if I can save $ by making one. I just want to know if it works well and better than the hand. Also it seems it would work better for persons whom are not circumsized.
Jelqing - Bing Images
2. Im going to use the begginer Jelqing90 routine. I just started a week ago as a matter of fact, but I dont understand how the
V Jelq works, is there a video link on how to do this V jelq properly?
3. I do my jelqs in the shower because i can use the hot water for warm up and warm down, but I noticed they say Not to use soap? Why Not?
Im not circumsized, so when i use the soap, it actually works really well and I dont seem to have any problems with getting into my penis.
4. My main concern is girth, so what is the minimum amount of jelqs I should do per day? And Im counting each stroke as a jelq. Right now I am doing approximately 150-200 Jelqs (each stroke) per day, i started at 100 jelqs last week. And the stretch and warm ups/downs. Can I just stick to the 90routine forever?
Thankyou, Any help or experience would be greatly appreciated.
I am 6.5" length and 5" girth. I would like to get to 7.5" length and 6" girth if possible. Do you think If i kept up the 90 routine, I could reach that goal in
a year.

Anything is better than nothing, but do not become "obsessed"...it really does do more harm that good. Be consistent but listen to your body. For me girth was, has been, so much easier than length. I use a combo of bathmate and clamping, but you have to be very aware, I don't like the word careful...about how much you do. Again...consistency is the thing. Look at the posts from those who started and gave up or got...Lazy. Stay at it. Like anything else, practice makes...more cock...lol"Get busy pumpin' or get busy dying"...The Smallshaft Redemption

OK I found some answers. But can anybody help with some of the questions?
Will 200 jelqs per day, 5 days on, 2 days rest per week be enough?
How do you do the v-jelq?
Why is soap not good?
Is stretching mandatory or will jelqs be enough with warms up of course?

JP90 Program
Live it. Love it. Breathe it. This program will change your sex life.
Using soap will dry out your skin. Avoid that at all costs. Use a normal water-based lube or an oil-based lube instead. Look for things that are infused with Vitamin E.
Perform the standard JP90 warmup and routine, but from what I've read the stretching warmdown is optional. Gaining length and girth simultaneously is not very efficient. It's better to do length first and then girth. However, only follow this path once you've completed the JP90 program which conditions your penis for more advanced workouts.Starting: 4/2/2013

why is doing girth & length exercises at the same time not a good idea? i need length more than girth at the moment. so should i just stretch and not jelq at the moment?!
according to a theory by PhibbysHammer a balance between girth & length exercises is recommended: https://www.pegym.com/forums/pe-theo...important.html
- 04-22-2013 #6
Increasing girth makes it more difficult to gain length.
PhibbysHammer "simple physics" example in no way models what happens when tissues are deformed. He is merely describing Poisson's ratio (google it), which is only valid within the linear elastic range of a material.
So unfortunately, his post doesn't really mean anything.

we're kind of in the same boat. 5 inch girth is not too shabby, nor is 6.5 erect length. But, it is not the monster we all dream of. After reading this forum every day and talking with the members I think that to take it easy and do the jp90 is a good idea. Then get an extender and work that for 6 months while occasionally manual stretching the Sus Ligs, jelquing, ballooning etc to work on EQ.
I'd agree that it's best to work on length first. I wouldn't worry about gaining too much girth on jp90. It's not something that happens over night.
I sort of look at this like stretching pizza dough.. If you stretch too hard too fast it tears and rebounds to it's original shape.. You have to take your time and coerce the dough, love the dough.. using just the right amount of force.
Soap may dry out your skin.. Also, think about what's in most commercial soaps.. I saw a guy that uses organic coconut oil. He recommends it. Plus according to some posts here the fats may absorb into the skin and give a fuller look. (Not sure about that)..

Sounds familiar? Isn't this the mundane routine most of us follow?
India is having her tryst with destiny, enjoying a unique demographic dividend that no other country in the world does. We have the youngest population and are growing younger every year. While many of the employable youth are struggling to find the right job, an equal majority has already landed a wrong job!
Am I happy doing what I am doing? What is it that will make me happy at my workplace? Is this what I want to do? Would I be a better copywriter or a creative designer? Will I make a good sales person or a better software developer? Which direction is my career heading? Am I in the right job? Haven't you asked these questions many times? I am sure we all would have at some point. And the fact is we ponder over it for some time, struggle to find the right answers and finally fall back in to our earlier routine. As the famous Scottish writer Thomas Carlyle had once said "Give us a man who sings at work".
Ask yourself how often you have felt content with your work, profile or position. You might have experienced momentary happiness but not a lasting one. When you do something that interests you and justifies your capabilities, the results are obviously good and the joy untold. And needless to say, success follows.
Identifying the best career option and getting the right job is easier said than done. Most of us choose careers based on what we see around us. What our parents, siblings, peers do or want us to do. But that is not sufficient to make a decision. One has to identify his / her own competencies before taking the decision. This is all the more important in today's environment, where career options have increased multi-fold. You don't have to always be an engineer, doctor or a software programmer. You could be an event manager, a photographer, a radio jockey, a script writer, a cinematographer; you could be anyone you want to be, or have the competencies for.
But how does one find out?
To start with, one has to put oneself in four basic buckets:
There are many tools available to help you identify how job ready you are and if you are not, what you need to do to get to that job you have been eyeing for a long time. Technology and science have advanced and we can now have access to the various assessment tools available. The various types of assessments are psychometric, personality, skill, aptitude and behavioural assessment. Most models address four simple areas of concern, namely data, which is related to personal information, knowledge, relating to academic background, skills which is aptitude and finally behaviour which covers both attributes and attitude.
Each one of you have special characteristic traits, motivations, personal values, talents and behaviours that set you apart from every other individual on the planet. These qualities make you "You". Using career assessment tools (and there plenty of good ones available out there), you can measure your qualities and identify the types of careers that will make you happy and successful, steering clear of jobs that are sure career dead-ends. Assessment also helps keep track of skill sets, which are dormant and those that need repair over a period of time. And, these career assessments tests are neither expensive nor very time consuming.
Qualification may not always play a crucial role in pursuing your passion. Therefore, do not hesitate to take up something new even if you are not qualified to handle the same. You can certainly upgrade your skills and learn about the subject of your interest. Remember, there is no age or time for learning something new. Knowledge may be enhanced or acquired at any time during your career. For instance, if you have an accounting degree and wish to pursue a career in journalism, you may upgrade your skills and join a course in mass media or communication to enhance your skills.
In conclusion, a complete assessment cycle enables you to identify yourself in context of employment and personal development. A structured approach is as mentioned above first the data (demographics of an individual; age, gender, education, experience, interest, etc) followed by knowledge, skill and behaviour which is determined from the assessment administered. The outcome of the whole engagement will result in a detailed understanding of your strengths and weakness which could be used to modulate you future and career goals. As Brian Tracy says: Only undertake what you can do in an excellent fashion; there are no prizes for average performance.

A Fox News Radio reporter has relayed a story of what he calls "horror" that a Nashville restaurant allowed a transgender woman to use its ladies' room.
Todd Starnes's transphobic report, posted online Monday, narrates a straight couple's recent experience at Amerigo, an Italian restaurant. David Staton and his wife (Starnes does not give the wife's first name) notice "a group of cross-dressers," in Starnes's words, a few tables over. "These guys were well over six feet tall, big burly men in dresses," Staton told Starnes.
Then Staton's wife met up with one of them in the ladies' room. She asked if she was in the men's restroom, but she was not. "Staton said the man went over to the mirror to fix his lipstick and told his wife, 'It's okay. It's okay,'" Starnes writes. But she responded, "No, it's not okay. There are men in the women's bathroom,'" and she and her husband complained to the restaurant manager, who offered to let Staton's wife use the men's room while he stood guard.
This suggestion did not satisfy the couple, and Staton told Starnes how he would address the situation: "There needs to be some sort of law that says if you are born a man with man-parts, you go to the men's bathroom. In a family restaurant, men should go to the men's room and women should go to the women's." Starnes has followed up his story by tweeting, "Imagine your 10-year-old daughter walking into the bathroom & coming face to face with a burly man wearing a dress."
The watchdog group Media Matters points out, "Starnes' coverage of the incident is problematic for obvious reasons: inappropriately referring to a transgender person by the wrong gender, using derogatory language, and peddling the baseless 'bathroom panic' myth, to name a few."
Media Matters adds, "Someone being bothered by the presence of a transgender person isn't a news story. Nor is it a story when a restaurant voluntarily allows a transgender woman to use a restroom that matches her gender identity. … Only in the mind of Todd Starnes — a man who's made it his mission to gin up anti-LGBT sentiment with throwaway 'culture war' stories — does this kind of incident qualify as newsworthy."
