She started her writing career in the in the 1960s when began her studies at Fisk University in Nashville Tennessee, The civil rights and black power movements inspired her early poetry that was collected in Black Feeling, Black Talk (1967), Black Judgment (1968), and Re: Creation (1970).

Ditzy Doo turned and noticed the bolts of cloth Rarity had tucked neatly into her saddlebags, a delightful floral print on silk. "Oh, yes, quite." Ditzy never pretended to "get" fashion, it was full of endless complexities that sailed clear over her head like Rainbow Dash on a double espresso, but everyone could agree that flowers were pretty, right? She could handle that. Just don't let her back you into having to actually say something meaningful, and you'll be fine, she told herself. "It matches the trim around the windows much better, I think," Rarity continued. ... What? "I'd wanted to go with...

Luckily, buddha help us, you prefer to consume your Mc-Phở at one of the fast-food chains-with-a-number, e.g., Phở 2000, Phở 24, that are spreading like wildfire throughout Saigon But, I must admit, it would be a cop-out on my part not to take a stand on such an important question – Where is the best phở in Vietnam?

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION We are what we eat! It's all very well claiming that you eat freshly-cooked meat and vegetables. But how is it cooked? Eating fried food, however recently it was picked, dug up, caught or slaughtered, isn't exactly the healthiest way of dining. Especially if was exposed to chemicals while it was growing, or being reared. Eating healthy is not just about having a salad in fact it is a field of a multi-disciplined culinary arts. The most important factor about a spa cuisine is that it focuses on your health, with a balanced diet on order to help you in the long term. A good diet will help you to be productive, and will enable you to deliver better results in any field of productivity, be it professional or personal. It’s not only the food we eat but it is the method of cooking that matters as well, over-cooking can destroy the nutrients therefore grilling, wok-cooking are good recommendations as far as cooking is concerned and of course microwave cooking is another way of cooking food without applying much fat or oil in it. Food that was exposed to chemicals while it was growing or being reared is not a choice for healthy food either. And in these days, when taking care of the outside of your body with innumerable spa treatments is so popular, doesn't it make sense to think more seriously. Many people are beginning to think so. And that's why there's an ever-increasing demand for Spa Cuisine. Spa cuisine is essentially taking...

...practical purposes, you only need to know about the four that are sold in U.S. food markets: By Nancy Loseke I know people who can deftly maneuver through a restaurant wine list the size of a New York City phone book, but who absolutely clutch when they have to choose a bottle of olive oil at their supermarket or gourmet store. “How much do I want to spend? Is Italian oil better than Spanish? Virgin? Extra virgin?” They scroll through the questions in their minds, all the while suppressing an urge to make a run for the canola oil and leave all that uncertainty in Aisle 2. There are, admittedly, a mind-boggling number of olive oil choices on store shelves compared to just a few years ago. Even the tiny neighborhood market around the corner from my office—the place I go when I need cat food or laundry detergent on short notice—displays more than half a dozen olive oils. Nearby, an “upscale” grocery stocks more than 100. America’s collective insecurity about olive oil is rooted in inexperience. Even today, with all the hype about olive oil’s health benefits (see below) and foodie curb appeal, only 30 percent of Americans have a bottle or two in their pantry. We’ve been, in the eyes of the world’s olive oil cultures, a bit sophomoric in our tastes, gravitating to the “extra light” oils some Europeans wouldn’t use in their lamps. But we’re trainable, and I daresay, quick studies. Take wine, for example: Seems to me we went from Riunite to Petrus in zero to sixty. Hey, wine...

...leader. His creations led him to begin one of the world’s most successful computer companies in the world, which would eventually create a paradigm shift in the technology world. Jobs was adopted as an infant by a middle class family and grew up in California’s Silicon Valley, where as a teenager, he was exposed to tinkering with his father in the family garage, which in 1976, became the birthplace of Apple Computer (Jobs, 2012). As an executive, Jobs had a temperament that was not always welcomed in the professional atmosphere. Shortly after he began Apple he was asked to leave by the Board of Directors and friend, John Sculley, CEO of Apple Computer. This was a blow that Jobs did not take lightly, and in order to maintain his dream and vision, he started a new software company, called NeXT. Eventually Apple Computer purchased the failing company, only after Jobs returned to Apple Computer in 1997, as the CEO. He replaced Gil Amelio, who replaced John Sculley only three years before (Nair, 2012). In 2007, Apple Computer became Apple, Inc., so the world would know that Apple was not just selling computers (Finkle, 2010). Jobs’ leadership traits, charismatic leadership style and charismatic leadership traits are analyzed. The communication style of Jobs as a charismatic leader is also discussed.

...first thing that I think of is the Philippines. In my opinion, I can say, Without any doubt, that the best mangoes that the world has ever tasted came from the Philippines. I know people from other mango producing countries will question my statement. However, I am confident to say that there is no other mango out there that can beat Philippine mangoes in terms of sweetness, sourness, size, and weight. I tried almost all the imported mango varieties here in the US — including local mangoes. They all taste different from the original Philippine Mango. There are even varieties here that says “Manila Mangoes” in the sticker, but the taste does not say so. There are many mango varieties in the Philippines. Champagne mango or Carabao mango is probably the most famous in terms of taste. This mango variety is the sweetest mango that I ever tasted. It is also the mango variety that the Philippines export to other countries. There are different strains (breed) produced from Carabao mango — one of which is called Sweet Elena. If I am not mistaken, this breed originated somewhere in Zambales. Sweet Elena mango is the sweetest that I ever had. It is probably the sweetest mango in the world. There are also the well loved Cebu and Guimaras mangoes which are of world class quality. Filipinos enjoy eating mango regardless if it is green or ripe. The Pico mango or Manggang Pico is best eaten regardless of its maturity. I enjoy eating green mangoes — especially if it is extra sour. Pico mango is...

...FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE BESTSELLING BIOGRAPHIES OF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN AND ALBERT EINSTEIN, THIS IS THE EXCLUSIVE BIOGRAPHY OF STEVE JOBS. Based on more than forty interviews with Jobs conducted over two years—as well as interviews with more than a hundred family members, friends, adversaries, competitors, and colleagues—Walter Isaacson has written a riveting story of the roller-coaster life and searingly intense personality of a creative entrepreneur whose passion for perfection and ferocious drive revolutionized six industries: personal computers, animated movies, music, phones, tablet computing, and digital publishing. At a time when America is seeking ways to sustain its innovative edge, Jobs stands as the ultimate icon of inventiveness and applied imagination. He knew that the best way to create value in the twenty-first century was to connect creativity with technology. He built a company where leaps of the imagination were combined with remarkable feats of engineering. Although Jobs cooperated with this book, he asked for no control over what was written nor even the right to read it before it was published. He put nothing offlimits. He encouraged the people he knew to speak honestly. And Jobs speaks candidly, sometimes brutally so, about the people he worked with and competed against. His friends, foes, and colleagues provide an unvarnished view of the passions, perfectionism, obsessions, artistry, devilry, and compulsion for control that shaped his approach to business and...

... _December 2001_ I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975. I remember the precise moment, crouching behind a crumbling mud wall, peeking into the alley near the frozen creek. That was a long time ago, but it's wrong what they say about the past, I've learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that deserted alley for the last twenty-‐six years. One day last summer, my friend Rahim Khan called from Pakistan. He asked me to come see him. Standing in the kitchen with the receiver to my ear, I knew it wasn't just Rahim Khan on the line. It was my past of unatoned** sins. After I hung up, I went for a walk along Spreckels Lake on the northern edge ...
