The New Era Of Politics

A story derived from real life of a person.

He is Manuel L. Diaz, 58 year old, Diabetic disease. Always come to different people, brother, friend, relative, especially those persons responsible for that village to ask for some help to buy food for his grandchildren, to buy medicine for his illness.

He is a hardworking man in his early age, helpful, humble, intelligent, and above all, generous brother.

January 10, 2010
Not expected, he was injured and in about 3 weeks, both his legs had a disease that makes him feels harder to move. A week after that incident, February 6, 2010 expose his neighbor, Manuel is dead.

Brothers and Sisters came to attend the funeral of Manuel. Each does not know what to do because no money to use for the funeral, had transferred to crowded places to gather money used in the funeral.

9th Avenue West, Grace Park Caloocan city. Philippines.
In this place Manuel grew up, and most of the people here knows him especially the elderly, many of them help to put the coffin on the side of the basketball court and put the canvas to free from sunlight. Other's are with the chairs, tables, installed lightning fixture, and others find a place where family and friends gathered together for the purpose of compassion.

Many visit to Manuel, others give supports to the family, give small amount of money which they have, others with compassion. The problem of the family is this,,,, a tremendous amount of services of funeral Parlor, cemetery fees, Lights, etc. that we can'not afford to pay, I have to invite (sakla) games of chance using old cards just to raise money for the bills. Many Baranggay members want to help and get help from politicians now a candidate from a different position in a local government others have promised, others gave financial help, and we appreciated it very much. With all the help, thank you very much.

Hoping that what happened with this guy name Manuel will be the last to our countrymen. Hoping the people of this country will received what they deserved as a hardworking person, tax contributor, hoping that those people opposing the next LEADER of this nation  should help laydown their plans, so other nation will see that people of the Philippines are United. Hoping that all government employee, from the lowest level of government establishment  will recognized who they are, that the people of the Philippines are the other source of money paying their salaries,  hoping  that people of this nation are united, Hoping that the next Proprietor of this nation is not greedy, hoping that the next manager of this country is not a Liar,  hoping that the next President of this country is not selfish,  hoping that the next Father of this island is not coward, hoping that the next Custodian of our beloved country will be doing his or her best to regain lthe symphaty and trust of other nation and getting back the very best of this Island. that people of the Philippines are:  THRUSTWORTHY, INTELLIGENT, PEACEFUL PEOPLE, POLITE, HELPFUL, HUMBLE AND  KIND.

Open your Eyes to:

Those who are telling too much promises
Those who are telling they can make our Nation great in an instant
Those  too much talk doing nothing.

The only way to choose is,, we choose our politicians we feel he or she is a,  hard-humanitarian, patriotic, cooperative not words, have committed to help people inneed, with a respect to the constitution and laws of the land.

We must NOW recognize a politician who is , humble, firmly, politely, Intelligent, Helpful, With Principle, Honorable, Ready to face the truth, AND WITH FIRM DECISION.  .Lastly  ,,,, NOT A  HYPHOCRITICAL

Manuel Lentijas Diaz is my brother.

Creativity in cooking

Creativity in cooking

When you have to eat at least 730 times in a year (that’s two meals in a day), eating would be boring if you have too little variety to choose from. Variety does not only refer to having different choices for the type of food to eat but variety in type of cooking styles should also be considered. Preparing foods in the same style will bore the whole family. Lack of variety in cooking style may also be unhealthy, imagine if you always eat fried foods (that can translate to higher fat intakes) or on the other hand if you’ll always have boiled or grilled foods (lack of essential fatty acids, may also become a problem). It is recommended that different cooking styles be applied to everyday preparation of foods. Try the following in your homes:


Bake. Prepare a cheesy chicken pie. Create your mixture of vegetables, spices and seasoning plus your diced chicken and put everything in pastry dough and bake them.


Deep Fry. Chicken are most enjoyed by everyone when it’s deep fried with its crunchy breading. But putting on breading can increase the absorbed fat in the cooked food, to minimize fats, use kitchen towels to blot out excess fats.


Grill. Get your whole fish and instead of frying (that may minimize its omega three content), grill it whole stuffed with onion, tomato and ginger.


Roast. Cooking your chicken under direct heat. You can roast your cubed chicken fillet together with cubed potato and carrots.


Steam. This method of cooking does take a longer time, but most often helps retain the original flavor in the food. Steam fish fillet with ginger and a little soy sauce and crushed garlic makes a good dish.


Stew. One way of preparing chicken stew is to use a slow cooker (crock pot). Put all your ingredients inside the pot, cook overnight and you’ll have a delicious stew for breakfast or even lunch. With this method of cooking, it is a great way to introduce veggies like carrots and tomatoes that adds color and nutritional goodness to the main dish.


Stir-Fry. We Asians love this method of cooking as it is quick and also helps retain the nutritional value of the food. Just like in stewing, it is easy for us to add lots of veggies into the main dish.


These are all seven different types of cooking methods which you can schedule for seven days in a week! See, there can be variety of styles you can use for cooking and be able to avoid just having fried foods most of the time. As promised for this week, here's a simple fish recipe that you can try at home for a stir-fried fish:


Ingredients:


½ kg fish fillet (skinned)

1 tsp. salt

1 tbsp oil

50 gm frozen peas (cooked)

50 gm frozen sweet corn (cooked)

6 tbsp chicken stock or water

2 tsp dry sherry

2 tsp soy sauce

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp cornflour, blended with 1 tsp water spring
onion flowers, to garnish


Instruction for Cooking:


1. Cut the fillet into 1 inch-wide strips, sprinkle with salt; leave for 15 minutes.

2. Heat the oil in frying pan, add the fish and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients, except the blended cornflour and bring to boil.

3. Stir in the blended cornflour and cook for 1 minute.

4. Garnish the cooked dish with spring onion flowers and serve immediately.


Here onwards, practice variety of cooking methods applied to your daily meals.

THE BEST WAYS TO INVEST IN YOUR CAREER:

Spending money to advance your career is a sound investment that can protect you during shaky economic times.
(6) SIX WAYS TO INVEST:
By: Margaret Steen
In uncertain economic times, you may hesitate to spend money to advance your career. But some investments -- of money and time -- can really pay off.One of the main ways to invest in your career is through education.
"Don't think of it as going back to school, which sounds like you didn't get it right in the first place and doesn't feel good," said Libby Pannwitt,
principal of the Work Life Design Group, in San Carlos, California. Instead, think of it as a way to broaden your knowledge.
Here are three ways to invest in you career through education, plus three other career investments to consider:
1.) * Get a degree.

• Complete your bachelor's degree or get a master's degree, MBA or even a Ph.D.

"We're looking at global competition," said Patti Wilson, CEO of CareerCompany.com in Silicon Valley. An advanced degree can help you get promoted or move between industries. Some people say workers in midcareer or later won't have time to recoup the cost of an advanced degree. It's a calculation that may push you toward a program that you can complete while working. But there are other factors to consider, Wilson said. An advanced degree can facilitate the move to consulting for an experienced worker, for example.

2.) * Become certified.

• Technical fields, project management and human resources are just some fields in which certifications can help advance a career. Certifications are generally less time-consuming and expensive than degree programs.

3.) * Learn cross-cultural communication skills.

• If you're working outside your native country and not speaking your native language, consider taking classes in accent reduction and American business etiquette. How do you know if you need these classes? If you're lucky, your boss will tell you. But you may simply notice that you're not getting promoted to positions that require good communication skills. For native English speakers who were raised in the United States, learning about the business culture of other countries can help further your career, Wilson said.

4.) * Build your brand online.

• This requires more time than money, although some services may cost you.Own your own domain name and create a Web page to showcase your work, Wilson said. Keep updated profiles on Facebook, LinkedIn and other social networking sites. Monitor your online presence so that potential employers won't find anything derogatory about you.
  "Being branded online may be on the cutting edge now, but it's going to be a given in five years," Wilson said.

5.) * Find coaches and mentors.

• It's important to have people to help you make critical decisions in your career.For some people, a paid career counselor or coach is the best approach. Others have one or more mentors who offer informal advice. Which approach is best may depend on how much in-depth help you need.
  "Some you pay, and some are free," Wilson said.

6.) * Raise your professional profile.

• Professional associations require both time and money, but they are a good way to meet people in your industry who work for other companies.
  "By serving on a committee or a board, you will gain valuable, marketable leadership experience to parlay at your next job interview," Pannwitt said.

Ten Great 'Second Act' Careers

F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote that there are no second acts in American life, but Fitzgerald didn't live in today's economy. Given the dynamics of the modern job market, second careers can be even more important -- and rewarding -- than the first ones.

Career prospects are constantly shifting.
Downsizing and outsourcing close some doors, just as demographic trends and new technologies open up others. If you have lost your job or feel dissatisfied with your current career, how you redirect yourself toward better opportunities?
The answer starts with training and education. The good news is that with online learning and adult education programs, there are more opportunities than ever to prepare yourself for a second career.

To make sure that preparation pays off, you need to focus on the following types of careers:
Those where people are now in demand, so you can get on your new career track as quickly as possible, and
Those with good long-term prospects, so you are less likely to be facing another round of retraining five or ten years down the line.
With this background in mind, the list below reviews ten in-demand occupations that could make a great second act for your career.

1. Medical Assistant
In terms of long-term career prospects, the healthcare profession benefits from a powerful demographic trend: the aging of the American population. As baby boomers enter retirement, demand for health care is expected to steadily rise. This is why medical assistant is expected to be one of the fastest-growing occupations over the next several years. Another advantage: many people get into this career with just a year or two of specialized education.

2. Personal/Home Health Aide
While medical assistants typically work in physician's offices, personal/home health aides visit patients in their homes to assist with a variety of tasks. Training programs, both in-person and on-line, are plentiful, and since many personal/home health aides work part time, this is a viable choice if you have to juggle your new career with family or other responsibilities.

3. Mental Health Counselor/Social Worker
Not only is Alzheimer's disease creating more challenges as the population ages, but behavioral conditions such as autism are becoming more common as well. As with most health care occupations, this is hands-on work that cannot be readily outsourced. A mental health counselor or social worker may require a background in psychology -- often a bachelor's or master's degree -- which can be obtained either on-campus or on-line.

4. Network Systems and Data Communications Analyst
Shifting from health care to the information technology field, it is important to identify on-site functions which cannot be easily outsourced. Network systems and data communications analysts are indispensable to mid-sized and large organizations, as they configure, install, upgrade, and maintain information technology and telecommunications systems. For this field, you will want to pursue a bachelor's degree in information technology or telecommunications.

5. Computer Software Applications Engineer
While many routine programming jobs have been outsourced overseas, a continuing strength of the U.S. software industry is the creation of new applications. To become a computer software applications engineer, you may want to get some practical experience along with pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer engineering or computer science.

6. Teacher
This is another good career choice because of its in-person, hard-to-outsource nature. Becoming a teacher will require specific educational credentials, but it's a good second career because maturity and experience -- possibly including experience with children of your own -- are strong assets.

7. Paralegal/Legal Assistant
Paralegals and legal assistants do research and perform tasks that support the work of attorneys. The interaction involved makes this another occupation that would be difficult to outsource to a remote location. There are many educational programs, both on-campus and on-line, offering legal training, though the National Federation of Paralegal Associations recommends those entailing at least 18 semester credit hours of paralegal coursework.

8.Financial Services Professional
Working in financial services will take a substantial educational commitment -- a bachelor's or masters degree, and possibly professional certifications and state or federal licensing. However, the financial rewards of this field can be well worth the investment.

9. Accountant and Auditor
Recent regulatory trends have made accountants and auditors more in demand than ever. This field carries the same type of professional requirements as financial services, but it can be a good second career because some clients feel more comfortable discussing their finances with more mature individuals.

10. Employment Services Counselor or Recruiter
If there is one thing this economy has proven, it is that the employment picture is in a constant state of change. No one knows this better than someone who is contemplating a second career. This type of job market creates demand for employment services professionals, such as career counselors or recruiters. An educational background, preferably including a bachelor's degree, in human resources or personnel would be helpful for this field.

When choosing an educational program that will prepare you for a second career, it can be helpful to ask some hiring managers in the field what credentials they look for when recruiting. Also, be sure to check out the accreditation of any institution you go to for education, especially if you are pursuing a degree.
