No one can dispute this is an historic year for women in politics. Will presidential frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton continue to win primaries throughout 2008, perhaps earning the nomination of her party, and even being elected to the Oval Office? Is the country really ready for a woman at the top of the charts and the free world? Is this the right woman for the ultimate political CEO position?

As we all explore whether Hillary will be the first woman to ascend to the job of U.S. President it pays to take a look at the culture and experiences in Corporate America itself. After all, we know that gender bias exists in all levels of business and politics, particularly at the top. We cant deny that the sexism card will eventually be played — whether by Hillarys opponents, by someone in the private sector, by the media (intentionally or not) or even by Hillarys camp itself — to either discredit this female candidate OR give her a special advantage at the polls.

While the caucuses and primaries held so far are not conclusive, the red states and the blue states face historys first true test of sending a woman to the White House (as something other than first lady!). What does the pulse of the country say about Hillary as the first woman president?

Lets also review the approach a woman must take to break the worlds most prestigious Glass Ceiling, and how corporate American interprets the rules involved. Can all this be applied to Hillary and her history-making candidacy?

First of all, we must examine the candidates style, look, voice, approach, body language, attire, image and positioning. Even men in power must be conscious of these key elements. But a woman — especially in this new arena of power — will be attracting even more scrutiny. As a force like Hillary Clinton reveals her leadership strengths vs. limitations, she will need to:

* Attract and impress both Wall Street and Main Street.

* Demonstrate her softer side. That might very well include refining her sense of humor, along with a persona that freely shows feelings, emotions and caring — perhaps revealing tears.

* Continue to stack up against the big boys. Gaining credibility as a landslide-elected U.S. Senator in the nations most populous state is a giant stepping stone she has already achieved.

* Balance her unique circumstances as the outspoken spouse of a recent president, aligning herself with his triumphs and distancing herself from his mistakes and image troubles.

* Rely on the thick skin she has developed after decades in public and political life. After all, shards from that glass ceiling (not to mention her detractors criticisms) could more than sting.

Breaking the Glass Ceiling of the White House is going to take a powerful, magnetic, yet warm personality. It is going to be a woman who can show leadership like John Kennedy and heart like Ronald Reagan. Who decides if Hillary is the one? The American voter will — lets help them decide.

Penis Exam by You – Penis Examination and Self Penis Test

by

John Dugan

It is recommended that you carry out a penis and genital self-examination at least once a month to eliminate the possibility of sexually transmitted diseases and other potentially life changing illnesses, such as cancer.

When performing a penis test and genital self-examination you should focus on your inner thighs, penis and testicles. The easiest way to carry out a penis and genital self-examination is in front of a mirror, and immediately after you have a shower or bath, as your skin is more relaxed and the warmth will enhance any skin discolorations.

In order to carry out a penis test and genital self-examination follow these steps:

1. Inspecting the Skin Firstly, inspect your penis, testicles and inner thighs by looking over each area in detail. Take your time and look for any skin abnormalities, such as dry or chaffed skin, sores, ulcers, or any other blemishes. If you notice anything that is unusual, make a note of the location and the type of skin condition, so that you can notify your health professional.

2. Groin Examination Next, gently press around your groin area using your index and forefinger (first two fingers after your thumb). Take note of any pain that you may be feeling. Then use all of your fingers to gently feel for any lumps in the groin. This can be done by moving your fingers in a circular motion over the area. You are feeling for any lumps that are bigger than a grain of rice, and are hard to the touch. Bumps or swellings may indicate an infection.

3. Penis Self-examination Once you have finished examining your groin move on to your penis. Do this by placing your thumb behind the shaft of your penis and your forefinger at the front. Make sure your hand is at the base of your penis and to the left of the shaft. Then apply gentle pressure and slowly move your hand up the shaft of your penis. When you reach the top slide your hand down the base and move it slightly to the right of your last hand action. Continue this process until you have completely tested the surface of your penis, noting any lumps or painful areas.

4. Testicle Self-examination Next, examine your testicles. To do this take one testicle in both hands and gently place your thumbs on the top of the testicle. Then using slight pressure roll your hands down the testicle. Once complete, repeat the process for the second testicle, and make a note of any swelling or bumps. Of course, it is normal to have one testicle that is larger than the other, and for you to feel the epididymis, which is a sperm carrying tube that is located at the top and back of each testicle. This tube should feel soft and rope like, and fell slightly tender when touched.

If you find any irregularities during your penis or genital self-examination it is important that you seek medical advice as soon as possible, as time, in many cases, can make all the difference to your recovery time.

The best way to keep your penis in optimal health, especially if you lead an active sex life, including masturbation, is to have a regular care program in place. This penis health care program should include the use of a penis specific health crme such as Man1 Man Oil.

Regular use of a penis specific vitamin crme maintains the appearance of your penis and allows your penis to function well. And continue with a routine of a penis test and genital self-examination, to check for any illness that may impair sexual function and overall health.
