Madison Who’s Who Blog

For all you Madison Who’s Who members want to learn something new, here’s a snappy idea which will lend a little whimsy to the next birthday party you throw for your child. Bake some cupcakes in ready-made ice cream cones. You can complete them ahead and have the cupcakes ready for serving. Or you can bake and cool them in advance, leaving frosting and the decorating as an activity for that house full of energetic kids you are expecting.

1. Preheat your oven to temperature designated in recipe.
2. Make the batter for your cupcakes. Use a cake mix or your favorite scratch cake recipe. Prepare the batter as per directions.
3. Unwrap the ice cream cones slowly, being careful not to damage them as you remove any plastic coverings. Place each empty cone in a muffin tin, one per ungreased muffin cup.
4. Pick up and fill each cone. Replace each cone in its muffin cup.
5. Bake according to cake batter instructions. Bake for the same length of time you would bake regular cupcakes.
6. Prepare your icing or open up your store-bought icing.
7. Place sprinkles in a small bowl.
8. Remove cupcakes from oven and allow them to cool.
9. Frost the cupcakes using a knife or spatula. Try to let the frosting warm up a bit if you have been keeping it in the fridge, as some frostings are more difficult to manipulate when cold.
10. Dip the top of the cupcake in sprinkles. Dip fully or dip just one side for an artsy effect.
11. Place each cupcake back into muffin tin. Serve!

For all you men at Madison Who’s Who here’s something to read and think about. Typically, men think about their health at one time—during a crisis. But the problem with that wait-and-treat approach is that men are constantly responding to health emergencies rather than preventing them.

So what’s the prescription for better men’s health? Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen say there are 11 things a man should eat every day-or nearly every day-to keep things running smoothly. Here is the continued second half of the list:

6. A man over 35 should take two baby aspirin (or 162.5 milligrams) every day. It can reduce his rise of arterial aging by 36 percent.

7. Remember to eat your fish-terrific source of low-fat protein, plus full of omega-3s.

8. Drink eight glasses (about 64 ounces) of fluid every day.

9.  Red wine has a chemical in it called rezveritrol, which is a very strong antioxidant that’s also been shown to be heart-healthy.

10.  Coffee is actually good for you in reasonable amounts (about 24 ounces a day).

11.  The calcium in milk is obviously good for bones, but the other important ingredient is vitamin D, which is a cancer-fighting agent.

So what’s the prescription for better men’s health? Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen say there are 11 things a man should eat every day-or nearly every day-to keep things running smoothly:

1. Fruits and vegetables-beets, raisins, dates and soybeans are especially important because they keep your bowels moving regularly.

2. Get about 25 grams of fiber in every day.

3. Eat foods rich in folate-800 milligrams a day.

4. Eat tomatoes to decrease risk of arterial aging, heart disease, stroke, memory loss, impotence, and wrinkling of the skin.

5. Walnuts and almonds-excellent source of heart healthy omega-3s.

Check back on Friday for 6-11.

This is for all you Madison Who’s Who members who are finding it difficult to hire employees for your small business. It could be because of the lack of features in your retirement plan.

If it does not take into consideration the needs of your employees to the extent that it is poorly planned, or worse, you don’t have one at all, your savvy employees are unlikely to want to work for you.

If you have a solid retirement plan for your employees, they would be happy enough to stay on at their jobs under you. After retirement, they could go and settle down in any of the retirement communities around the country. There are many of such communities being built in Arizona, Georgia and New Jersey which would certainly make the options varied. Your employees would certainly be spoilt for choice as to which retirement community will suit them best.

Where Madison Who’s Who separates from its peers in the industry is that Madison Who’s Who has not been content with merely offering a beautifully bound leather book of members names. We have made every effort to bring that book and those names alive and accessible as never before to our esteemed membership.

Madison’s Who’s Who has a diverse membership that includes artists, academicians, engineers, and realtors to name a few. Providing those member’s biographies and credentials along with the multiple benefits of online exposure was just the first step of many that Madison Who’s Who has taken to providing members increased value.

Now members are not only names in a book but are real and viable connections. With the addition of a virtual bulletin board, Madison Who’s Who members have a forum where they can engage in business, chat about trivia, and mingle with professionals with like goals, life styles and ambitions.

According to Roget’s New Millenium Thesaurus, Who’s Who can also have the connotation of an “upper class group” or the “elite, gentry, and glitterati” of society. Who’s who is also used loosely to represent an almanac or a social register, list or line up.

The last interpretation is how the Madison Who’s Who blog most often utilizes the phrase when we present books, websites and other compilations of outstanding people as well as outstanding events or items. We also favor the biographical component to who’s who by bringing to the forefront various tributes or new biographies of the achievers and pivotal personalities through the corridors of time.

Almost every organization or institution also keeps their own who’s who. There’s a who’s who of outstanding students in America as well as a who’s who of the most recognized teachers and even a who’s who of lawyers and a who’s who of athletes. Every company has its own roster of who’s who and every profession looks within its own ranks to spotlight their most brilliant with a who’s who designation.
