Is Glass Ceiling For Women a Myth? Part 3
In the first part of this post we discussed the Glass Ceiling as being an invisible barrier against promoting women to senior executive roles; the second part discussed the obstacles faced.
Looking at the obstacles women face; it becomes evident that the problems are from both sides: women and organizations and since it takes two to tango- solutions have to originate from both sides:
A. Change organizations cultures
B. Women to learn how to brand themselves properly, project their leadership skills knowing how they are perceived
Easier said than done but here are some ideas to tackle the issues:
A- Organizations: Change the culture of the organization
1- Offer flexibility at the workplace for parents; and elderly care-takers especially women
2- Offer leadership training that is not bias towards male leaders
3- Have proper succession plans, including the proper assessments for female leaders, career development and training
4- Offer proper coaching, mentoring and sponsoring for promising female leaders
5- Research the acceptable work practices that can help women advance to senior positions instead of hindering them
6- Monitor the selection process of people for high visibility projects that can enhance a career
7- Offer incentive education re-imbursement for masters and doctorates programs for women
8- Have zero tolerance for stereotyping and discrimination against women – strong HR policies and departments are a great asset.
9- Have proper progressive performance evaluations and constructive feedback
B- Women Leaders:
1- Project their brands, and skills properly and assertively with confidence
2- Empower each other by forming and joining ERG and affinity groups to make their voices heard and to name the barriers and bias they might experience
3- Engage with the organizations in effective initiatives to change the organizations cultural barriers
4- Get rid of the "Glass Ceiling" excuse or as a fate defining issue, or fall under the self fulfilling prophecy to justify why they are not advancing. Acting as a victim is debilitating, we become what we work for.
5- Strategize a plan for your career: Plan properly for your S.M.A.R.T. goals, know what is needed to advance, get the required qualifications as education or certification or mentoring,
6- Stand for themselves and speak-up; prevent others from assuming or trying to perceive their styles, competencies and abilities
7- Ask for feedback from managers or superiors, colleagues that they trust; take their comments into consideration as we are what we do – our actions, verbal and non verbal communications and behaviors affect how we are perceived. Never get defensive
8- Study and research what is needed as knowledge, skills and abilities needed to advance. It is fine to ask for help, seek coaching in areas identified as vulnerable
9- Knowing that it will not be easy, or comfortable, they will need to adapt to many changes along the way, get out of their comfort ones but who said life was easy? Look at career as being a adventure along the life journey.

Dana Point is a city located in southern Orange County, California. The population was 33,351 at the 2010 census. It has one of the few harbors along the Orange County coast, and with ready access via State Route 1, it is a popular local destination for surfing.
The city was named after the headland of Dana Point, which was in turn named after Richard Henry Dana, Jr., author of Two Years Before the Mast, which included a description of the area. Dana described the locale, including neighboring San Juan Capistrano, as "the only romantic spot on the coast".[5] Although Dana described the anchorage as poor, it is now a developed harbor and contains a replica of his ship, the Pilgrim. The Pilgrim is used as a classroom by the Ocean Institute, which is located at the harbor. This area is designated California Historical Landmark #189.[4]
Dana Point[edit]
Dana Point was a popular port for ships involved with the hide trade with nearby Mission San Juan Capistrano, with trading reaching its peak in the 1830s and 1840s. In 1818, Argentine sailor Hippolyte de Bouchard anchored here while conducting his raid on the mission. Richard Henry Dana then visited the area in 1835 while serving aboard the sailing brig Pilgrim on their voyage along the California coastline.[4]
In 1923, Los Angeles Times publisher Harry Chandler and General M.H. Sherman, director of the Pacific Electric Railway Company, created a major real estate group to develop what is known today as the Hollywood Hills. Sidney H. Woodruff, already a prominent Los Angeles homebuilder, was hired to lead the project. In 1926, Woodruff, Chandler and Sherman created the Dana Point Syndicate. They invited other heavy hitters, company presidents, movie producers and real estate investors to join them in purchasing 1,388 acres (5.6 km2) of land, some of which includes the "Headlands" of today. Promising tree-lined and paved streets, electricity, telephones, sidewalks, water mains, storm drains, sewers and other amenities, Woodruff built 35 homes and a number of commercial buildings.
Most of these "Woodruff" houses are concentrated in a Dana Point's historic core, also called Lantern Village (currently about 12,000 residents). The streets are named after the different colored lanterns, street of the Violet Lantern, Blue Lantern, etc. (colored lanterns were used by ships 200 years ago to advertise their fares when pulled into the Dana Point natural harbor).[citation needed] His crowning structure was to be the Dana Point Inn, a Mediterranean-like resort hotel. After a celebratory groundbreaking in 1930, a three-story foundation was poured and a 135-foot (41 m) elevator shaft was dug. However, the Great Depression caused construction to halt. Although Woodruff continuously sought financial support through the years, this project was abandoned in 1939. Subsequently, he sold the remaining holdings of the Dana Point Syndicate. Thirty-four of the original Woodruff residences are still occupied.
Dana Point Harbor[edit]
The Harbor is home to a Marina, shops and restaurants and is a point of departure for the Catalina Express, a transportation service to and from the City of Avalon on Catalina Island. The entire harbor of Dana Point, including the Embarcadero Marina shops and restaurants are set for complete demolition and redevelopment. The current vintage nautical style is being abandoned for a Tech Minimalist concept utilizing metal roofs as well as Minimalist landscaping.[6]
Capistrano Beach[edit]
In 1928, a corporate entity of the American industrial giant Edward Doheny, who had built his fortune in oil production in Southern California and Mexico, purchased a number of lots in Capistrano Beach. Doheny's son, Ned, formed a development company, the Capistrano Beach Company, which included his wife's twin brothers, Clark and Warren Smith and Luther Eldridge, a contractor, to build a community of Spanish style houses. According to Dana Point historians Baum and Burnes,* Eldridge favored two dominant characteristics in his homes, a typically Spanish roof line and the use of large ceiling beams in the houses' main rooms. The roofline, covered with red ceramic tiles, incorporated a low-pitched gable, spreading out to one short and one long roof. The ceiling beams were stenciled artwork painted by artist Alex Meston. Eldridge was able to complete the original Doheny family house on the bluffs, four houses on the beach, and 18 other homes scattered throughout the area before tragedy struck the ambitious project. Edward Doheny was preparing for his criminal trial for bribery in the Teapot Dome Scandal, and on February 16, 1929, Ned Doheny and, Hugh Plunkett, his friend and secretary, who were to testify in the trial, were killed in a murder that still remains unsolved. In 1931, as a memorial to Ned, Petroleum Securities Company, Doheny's family-owned business, made a gift of 41.4 acres (168,000 m2) to the State of California, which is now Doheny State Park. The unimproved Capistrano Beach properties passed back to Edward Doheny, and, upon his death in 1935, to his wife and heirs. By 1944, all of the properties had been sold to private parties.
The Doheny family also funded the building of the what was then called St. Edward's Chapel in Capistrano Beach. The Chapel soon grew, received canonical status as a parish, and moved to its current bluff-top location in Dana Point, overlooking Doheny State Beach.
Dana considered the high bluffs and sheltered coves of this area of Southern California to be the most beautiful spot on the California coast. Pioneering surfers agreed, as they surfed the many beach breaks along the coast. Dana Point had a notable surfing history, and was home to many of the first companies that produced products for surfing. Hobie Alter opened one of the first retail surf shops in Dana Point in 1954. Many surf publications such as the Surfer's Journal and Surfer Magazine were formed and headquartered in Dana Point. Bruce Brown produced the surfer film Endless Summer in Dana Point.
"Killer Dana" was a legendary surf break off Dana Point. The surf break was notorious because it came out of deep water and broke close to the rocks that lined the beach. The Killer Dana wave was destroyed when the Dana Point Harbor was built in 1966.[7] A breakwater now cuts right through the heart of the once epic surf spot. In 1997, the surf group The Chantays recorded an instrumental track named "Killer Dana".
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 29.5 square miles (76 km2). 6.5 square miles (17 km2) of it is land and 23.0 square miles (60 km2) of it (77.96%) is water.
The Dana Point headlands are a prominent feature in Orange County geography and after years of controversy,[8] are currently being developed as a 118-house gated community.
However 68 acres (280,000 m2) of the site is open to the public and features a nature center and walking trails exhibiting "lost" plants of the Southern California coast. Views on a clear day extend to Catalina Island and La Jolla in San Diego county. link Dana Point Headlands

Report Problems Observed in the Backcountry Here's a form that can be used by backpackers, hikers, packers, and canoers or by anyone using federal or state land. This form is to be used as a way of quickly assessing the health of the backcountry and the personal feelings of the participant. The federal and state agencies want to know about these problems and need your help in assessing the health of the backcountry.
Bush Administration Proposes Weakened Grazing Rules In December 2003 the Bush administration unveiled a proposal to alter the rules that now govern livestock grazing on Bureau of Land Management (BLM) public lands. The proposed changes, published in the Federal Register on Dec. 8, would overturn efforts over the past decade to improve rangeland conditions and reduce the impacts of grazing on watersheds, wildlife, and cultural treasures.
Influencing the Agencies: Participation in NEPA Reviews Livestock grazing management on publicly-owned federal lands is periodically opened up to public review, public scrutiny, and public participation during a National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review. During a NEPA review, a federal agency proposes a management activity for federal land. Then, at various stages, it invites public comment on the proposal and alternative proposals. Find out what you can do.

Lash out on Halloween in this officially licensed Sucker Punch Blondie Fight Suit adult womens costume. Distract the competition when you wear the polyester/spandex blend character bodysuit, complete with brown glovelettes, brown belt and black thigh highs.
Average Rating
Cons Best Uses
Comments: This costume fits well, EXCEPT the brown strap that goes over the shoulders was a little too big, but it was no big deal. I got a size small, I'm 5'3-5'4. It doesn't come with the fishnet stockings - but those are cheap to get on the side Possible downside that has nothing to do with the costume - no one knows who Blondie is or what Sucker Punch is. everyone thinks it's Tomb Raider. |
Cons Best Uses
Comments: This costume is the best [$] I have ever spent. I was a little iffy about even spending that much money on a costume i'd only wear once, but when I first got it and tried it on, I fell in love. I was scared about it being too tight because i'm smaller on top than I am on the bottom and I thought maybe I should have ordered a large instead of a medium, but it fights pretty snug, and there's still a little wiggle room without it being uncomfortable. The top is a teeny bit loose, but that problem could be fixed with a simple push up bra. The belt and glovelets are so cute and I was impressed that this costume already had everything you really needed! I would definitely recommend it to a friend! |
Best Uses
Comments: I really was excited to have found this item online. I thought it would make a great costume but when I ordered my extra small it came with one size fits all bets attached to it. This costume would have worked out great if I was a few months pregnant. This costume has a great design and it true to the picture except for the belts. I returned mine. |
Cons Best Uses
Comments: Everything fit great except the thigh highs, those kept rolling down and that was the only thing that I really had issues with. Everything else was perfect. |
Pros Cons
Best Uses
Comments: Thank goodness it shipped quickly...I had to return it right away! This costume was not completely sewn...it was actually falling apart when I took it out of the packaging! The bodysuit fit well, but the faux-leather straps were much too long for the halter...the Velcro was full of strings and hair (probably from the floor of where it was made). I would not recommend this item to anyone! VERY POOR QUALITY! |

A look inside Apple's new 27-inch iMac (teardown photos)
Just days after its unveiling, Apple's newest Mac desktop hardware has been disassembled, revealing the tightly-packed innards of the 27-inch iMac hidden behind its 11-pound screen.The new 27-inch iMac features a large 2560 by 1440 pixel LED-backlit display. The model disassembled by iFixit sports a 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo processor. The high-end model can be outfitted with a quad-core processor i5 or i7 processor, which uses a different socket.
The LG-manufactured screen weighs in at nearly 11 pounds, with a horizontal resolution identical to a 30-inch Apple Cinema Display. It was noted that the panel is very glossy.
The new hardware features edge-to-edge glass, which is a change from the 4mm aluminum bezel that surrounded the screen of the previous iMac. In their disassembly of the hardware, iFixit said that they noticed the glass was slightly out of alignment on one side after upgrading the system's RAM. Like on earlier hardware, the slots are accessed through a door at the bottom of the system.
"Hopefully Apple's got some pretty strong magnets in there to keep the glass where it belongs," they said.
The new hardware is also designed to work as an external display. However, the Mini DisplayPort connector signal goes through the hardware's logic board, so the iMac must be powered on to play video from an external source.
Behind the 27-inch screen is a tightly packed machine. Among the details iFixit discovered:
- With the weight of the screen removed, the normal neutral buoyancy of the pivoted stand is lost and the system tilts upward.
- Though there is no room for a second hard drive, users could install a SSD.
- The main Wi-Fi chip on this model is an Atheros AR9280, with SiGe Semiconductor 2593A20 antenna power amplifiers.
- The new power supply is the biggest yet in an iMac, capable of putting out 25.8 amps at 12 volts, or 310 watts.
- Though Blu-ray options were said to be forthcoming, the high definition format was reportedly pulled from the new iMacs just before production. The final hardware includes a 12.4mm slimline 8X SuperDrive. iFixit said the hardware could fit a Panasonic UJ-135 Blu-ray drive.
- The CPU and GPU are spread out on the motherboard with separate heat sinks, which allowed Apple to upgrade the hardware to use Intel's hotter desktop processors. Heat is a major concern, with six temperature sensors, three fans and two "gigantic" heat sinks.
- The new hardware features big speakers, increased in proportion to the screen size.
- Because the new iMac features an aluminum back, the AirPort antenna had to be relocated to the only plastic area on the back of the hardware: the Apple logo. Otherwise, the metal would have blocked Wi-Fi reception.
- "After such a tedious teardown, you can't blame us for piling everything up into one ginormous heap of parts," they said. "However, curse our guilty conscience, being the nice and awesome professionals we are, we felt an urge and a sense of responsibility to do it right."
For more, take a look at the full process at iFixit. And for another look at the inside of the new iMac, check out the disassembly from Kodawarisan.

Space-Tourism Company Is Selling Trips To The Moon For $750 Million Each
So start saving now.
On the heels of SpaceX's vision of a human colony on Mars, here's another idea for people who think of outer space the way the rest of us think of Hawaii: a space-tourism startup is selling trips to the moon at $750 million each.
The company, known as Golden Spike, actually has good pedigree: former NASA science administrator Alan Stern is working on the business. The plan is to repurpose space hardware for moon journeys, rather than build rockets from scratch, and to use the sort of commercial rockets we'll be seeing more of in coming years. The passengers would get the trip, and a chance to walk on the moon, before returning home. (A two-person mission like that would cost about $1.5 billion, Stern told The Washington Post.)
Oh, and Newt Gingrich, he of let's-build-a-moon-base-by-2021 fame, is listed on the board of advisers, along with other political big wigs.
This is part of a statement from the business: "The company's plan is to maximize use of existing rockets and to market the resulting system to nations, individuals, and corporations with lunar exploration objectives and ambitions."
So, yes, a niche market. Which might explain the cost of those tickets.
BEFORE PEOPLE START SAYING SPACE TOURISM of this nature will never succeed because only multimillionaires can afford it, keep in mind that the first commercial airplane flights cost the equivalent of thousands of dollars in today's money. Once a venture like Golden Spike proves that lunar tourism is possible, although at a price, corporations will stop focusing on the feasibility of the concept and concentrate on driving prices down.
I see the future brewing.
I started an on line lunar tourism business where we will fly you on a one way trip to the moon, we only charge 350 million dollars. We also sell bridges and beach front property in Phoenix Arizona ready for occupancy after 12-21-2012.
Our business is called whatsamatterwithu.com
Ron Bennett
in order to thank everyone, characteristic, novel style, varieties, low price and good quality, and the low sale price. Thank everyone

If you think Jesus`s story is flabbergasting..., last month my auntie's boy friend also earned $7591 sitting there ninteen hours a week from their apartment and their friend's aunt`s neighbour did this for 7-months and made over $7591 in there spare time on there pc. apply the steps from this web-site..www.Google.mel7.com
I really am surprise we have not found one thing we can manufacture in space and or on the moon, to make it profitable to establish ourselves in outer space.
This moon venture above is all about tourism and so will appeal to those with this amount of free cash to spend.
I really wish something useful for all citizens on planet Earth could be made in space, medicines, energy resources, etc.
@shutterpod said: most expensive suicide plan EVER.
You got that right, no way they could make this happen even this decade. One, two really experienced guys won't make this any more plausible, even if one of them are Tony Stark:)
This is simply a neat way to get attention and flex your (small and nerdy) muscles. They got so much attention now that they probably will get some smaller contracts.
But no one will order a trip to the moon anytime soon and that is probably good for both the customer and Golden Spike.
-I dont want to live on this planet anymore
Going back to the Moon or Mars will either have to be Politically oriented, Money Oriented or both. Going back purely for science reasons isn't going to happen anytime soon. We have to make a buck off of it, or beat another country to the punch. It's sad, but that's the reality of things. Perhaps the majority of humanities thinking will change someday, but not today. I think some huge Earth changing event would have to happen for our line of thinking to change. Friendly aliens landing would be cool.
Checking your sentence I agree. I wish to have $750 million dollars or a free trip to the moon.
But you failed to answer the question, if you had $750 million dollars, would you pay this same money to take a trip to the moon and return home to Earth broke, once again?
Yes, I would take $750 million dollars, gladly!
(1) Right now only Americans have been on the moon. I'm sure China or Japan would love to have the bragging rights to putting someone there. Even Iran could scrape together a mere 750 for being the second country there (even if taking an American ship to do so).
(2) We sent people to the moon in aluminium cans fourty years ago. It was a suicide run, and most of the survived. Once you are up in space, going to the moon is not much more risky than hanging out in orbit - and we have people doing that 365.24 days a year. Landing and getting off the moon is a little trickier, but again, done technology.
(3) The thing that make space so expensive these days is the triple redundancy that NASA puts on itself for obsessive safety. If we went back to the days of cutting corners, taking risks, and working quickly - then getting there is VERY feasible. Cutting corners, taking risks, and working quickly are the halmarks of private enterprise - so a company such as this has a better chance that NASA would.
It strange how we humans in our desire for glory but a blind mind's eye on glaring facts as to the gigantic deadly amount of radiation that exist beyond the Van Allen belt which is deadly to humans and yes how little shielding there was for our astronauts in the little thin skin metal ship to the moon.... lol.
Oh what we human's purposely 'choose' to believe...
One day, when it is possible to send thick skin lead ship into space, yes we will go to the moon.
I could see solar-smelting plants on the moon, huge crater walls lined with mylar panels to focus the month-long sun onto a crucible of some sort... the implications are something.... but we have to ship a small city there from here, or wait for the robots to build it for us.
We don't even have robots here that build shelters, let alone anything more complex.
$750M is nowhere near enough to fund a trip to the moon and back. The launch cost for a lunar round-trip would be over $50,000/lb, and the payload would be least 30,000 lbs. The launch costs would be $1.5 to $2.0 billion minimum.
Riff_raff, your numbers seem to agree with them (two passengers). Looks like they didn't have to do any more calculations than you did.
Just another "space" group trying to hype themselves for other projects. Of course there could be something more to it. These wealthy power brokers, along with all the other ones, could be quite practical and are already planning to control interplanetary space flight 20 or 30 years from now. They don't care how long it takes (several generations). They are just jockeying for position for that future.
If you have the money to set up, and expect the technology to catch up in a few decades, I suppose now is the time to get into it. That way, when there are important new innovations, those that have prepared in advance can jump in before anyone else. If that is the case, we should start hearing about several other big consortiums getting ready too.
For the rest of us, let's not hold our collective breath!
Far Out Man-
Stupid me! Unlike you, I never considered the possibility that any "sane" investor would commit billions of dollars towards a project that has at best a 10% chance of producing a financial return 10 to 20 years in the future.
Bill Gates and Warren Buffet need to get on board before it's too late!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"I looked long and hard for just the right invitation for my son's rehearsal dinner. This card utilized two of the couple's engagement photos in such a beautiful way. I am very pleased with the outcome and put them in the mail today! Keep in mind that this size requires additional postage."
"This was ordered for a rehearsal dinner and I was very pleased. I did the rounded corners and the pearlized paper. The only thing I would change is the size of font that I selected. It could have been a little larger. I added a lavender toned photo of the bride and groom to the back of the card for an added touch! I must say, we had rave reviews."
"The invitations are absolutely beautiful. They were everything I hoped for and more. I had a hard time finding response cards to match and they changed the colors on the response cards to match the invites perfectly without me even asking. I can't tell you how much I appreciated it when I opened the box and saw them. I highly recommend these invites. The pictures add such a classy touch you would expect them to have been a lot more expensive than they were. My family raved about them."
"The invitations turned out great, really liked the paper and printing. Received the order quicker than expected. Have had several comments from guests regarding how cute they turned out. The website made personalization very simple. Will definately check with WPD next time I need invitations or printed items. Thanks"
"This invitation card was perfect for our needs. I requested a sample before placing my order, and was pleased to find the paper stock was better quality than expected. Overall very pleased with the product, ease of ordering, and price."

NY trains damaged at NJ Transit flooded yard
Officials plan to seek reimbursement from FEMA or their insurance policies, she said.
NJ Transit spokeswoman Nancy Snyder said that all seven locomotives and two of the six cars have been repaired, but she did not have details on how many have been placed back in service.
Anders said some express train round-trip service has not yet been restored on both lines.
That's not fast enough for some commuters.
"I'm a New York taxpayer, and I don't think NJ Transit took due care on this," said Orrin Getz, a member of the New Jersey Association of Railroad Passengers who lives in New City, N.Y.
NJ Transit Executive Director Jim Weinstein has said the agency relied on storm models that indicated a 10 percent to 20 percent chance of flooding and that the Kearny yard had not flooded in its 30-year history.
Governor Christie defended Weinstein and NJ Transit at a press conference Wednesday about federal aid for the Sandy recovery. "I think these guys made the best judgment they could under the circumstances," the governor said.
"If they knew it was going to flood, believe me, Jim Weinstein would have moved the trains," Christie said.
"Sometimes people make wrong decisions, it happens. It's not a hanging offense."

Sam and Saul Stermer, now in their 90s, return to Verteba Cave in Ukraine, where they hid as children for over a year.
"No Place on Earth" opens May 3 at the Landmark Varsity Theatre, 4329 University Way NE, Seattle. Visit www.landmarktheatres.com for schedules and tickets.
It's hard to imagine, with the abundance of Holocaust literature and films, that stories of mind-blowing value still remain largely untold. In 1942 Ukraine, 38 men, women and children slid deep into the earth to spend 511 days hiding from the Nazis and their neighbors in pitch-black caves. Though they all emerged from the cave, their story, for the most part, remained until recently underground. When adventure-seeking spelunker Chris Nicola traveled to Ukraine in the '90s to trace his ancestry, he heard rumors of Jews who hid in the caves during the war. Indeed, deep inside Priest's Grotto he came across a shoe, a comb, and an antique key and buttons. Nicola began the intensive process of locating the cave dwellers, whose fates no one in that part of Ukraine knew anything about. Eventually, back in North America, he found 14 of the survivors. So he began to tell their story. That story is coming to the screen. Part reenactment, part documentary, "No Place on Earth," opens May 3 at the Varsity Theater in Seattle. When the Gestapo circled the village of Korolowka and rounded up the Jews to send to the camps or to dig their own graves before killing them, Esther Stermer knew that her family would submit to neither. Instead, she, her husband and their six children, along with four other families, fled about five miles away and slid through a narrow passage into Verteba cave. Verteba is exceptional among caves, carbon dating back to 5,000 BCE for probable use as a burial grounds (roughly 3,600 years before Moses' birth, for perspective). Finding it unsuitable for life due to poor ventilation and lack of water (not to mention a Gestapo invasion), the group moved to nearby Priest's Grotto, the 11th longest cave in the world and so complex that even experienced cavers take the fatal risk of getting lost. "No Place on Earth" tells the harrowing story of what may be the longest-ever human underground existence, and follows Sam and Saul Stermer and Sonia and Sima Dodyk back to Ukraine to enter the caves that protected them 71 years ago. In a phone conversation with JTNews, director Janet Tobias said a former colleague brought her the story, which was featured in National Geographic in 2004 and in Nicola's book, "The Secret of Priest's Grotto." Though she was cautious at first to venture into Holocaust filmmaking territory, the Stermers won her over with their story. "They had such pride in telling it," she said. "They had such spirit in telling it. I thought, 'I just need to do this.'" Once the Stermers decided they could trust Tobias with their story, the production crew was tasked with a number of challenges, namely, transporting four elderly people down into a dangerous cave, normally accessed by a 100-foot-long rusty pipe. They built steps inside the cave and kept an ambulance on call. And then there was the gear. "That was all very, very complicated," said Tobias. But the results made it worth it. "For each of them, it was watching a person go back in time," Tobias reflected. "Watching them remember things that happened to them at that age was really profound." In a Manichean twist, "I'd always thought of this as a story where light and dark were switched," said Tobias. While the dark place was safe, "the scary place was outside…the second you popped your head out of the cave you could be dead." Tobias recalls being in the cave with the Stermers when Saul told Sam to turn out their light. Encased in darkness, Sam said, "Now I feel good; now I recognize where I am." "They loved the cave," said Tobias. "It's like a second mother to them." The group's survival is credited to their skills and resources, said Tobias, from Esther's "Golda Meir-like" leadership to others' engineering skills, wits, connections with the outside world for food, and bravery. Tobias hopes educators will use the film in the classroom. "The way you stop genocide is one person at a time," she said. "It is the younger generation's opportunity and responsibility." Kids, she continued, should see "how crazy brave and wonderful young people can be." On the film's website, Nicola is quoted as saying, "I learned the Holocaust isn't one story of how 6 million people perished; it's 6 million individual stories." From "Defiance" to "In Darkness" to "Inglourious Basterds," tales of resistance and survival are joining the vast library of Holocaust stories focused on persecution and senseless acts of inhumanity. "They came out, and they had an intact family, and no one had an intact family," said Tobias. "So they view their experience with incredible pride. It was a story of triumph, not defeat." When the film screened at the Toronto Film Festival, the survivors in attendance received a standing ovation. "How incredibly right and deserved," Tobias thought at the time. "They've kept their humanity and spirit," she said. "I have a 92-year-old who laughs on the phone. It's about as good as it gets."

Inside Machines: Practical Feedrate Limits for 5-Axis Machining of Thin Parts
When looking at cutting feedrate, a typical specification for 5-axis machines, consider "worst-case" part geometry.
When purchasing a 5-axis machine, one of the typical specifications is the maximum feedrate for cutting. The machine's ability to meet this specification is commonly verified during buy-off with the Circle-Diamond-Square and Cone-Frustum tests as defined in National Aerospace Standards 979 (NAS 979).
For traditional aerospace parts, where a large percentage of aluminum is removed from a billet, this is a very reasonable test when run at the planned production feedrates. As more aircraft parts are being made from composites and titanium stampings, where a part is trimmed out of a contoured sheet, NAS 979 may need to be run at much higher speeds to represent the real machine usage. These concepts frequently apply to milling machines, waterjets, lasers, and fiber placement machines.
A simple example of this is a 0.1-in.-thick carbon fiber sheet with a "C" cross-section, intended for use as a beam, where edges need to be trimmed to the final size with an end mill. For this example, the intended path feedrate is 50-in. per minute (IPM) at the tooltip, the tooltip is 0.05-in. through the skin, and a 5-axis milling machine with a "C carries A" forked head is being used. Also assume a pivot length (tool tip to A axis) of 18 in. and that the machine performed perfectly on the NAS 979 tests at 300 IPM. During the flat sections of this contour, the machine should have no problem; the radius is the concern. If the radius (R) is 2 in. (2.15 in. at the outside of the skin), then the length (L) along the path is 3.1 in. (pi*R/2). At 50 IPM, this means the machine should take about 3.8 sec to make this radius. During this move, "A" moves 90 degrees to stay perpendicular to the surface. When the pivot length is considered, and excluding the distance for the programmed radius, X and Z each need to move 18 in. just to keep the tool center point (TCP) stationary. At a 2-in. radius, X would need to average 285 IPM to make this move. This is still well within the 300 IPM from the NAS 979 test. If the radius is decreased, then X needs to move even faster to maintain the 50 IPM at the TCP as the diagram and table show.
As the radius is decreased, axis speeds start exceeding what was tested with the NAS 979 for this machine, even though the path feedrate is not increasing. For this reason, when considering a machine for purchase, the geometry of the production parts needs to be considered. When considering a new machine for purchase, the worst-case part geometry should be determined early in the bidding process, as a machine that performs well at 285 IPM is in a very different price class from one at 1,140 IPM.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Posted: 3:31 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 9, 2012
By Mary McCarty
Staff Writer
COLUMBUS — Nine-year-old Bryn Marshall and her 6-year-old sister Aria sported matching "Daddy is My Hero" T-shirts to welcome their father, Capt. David Marshall, home from Afghanistan Sunday morning.
Marshall can't wait to be a full-time father again to the girls and sons Wyatt, 7, and Levi, 3. "I've missed so much," he said.
Rickenbacker International Airport hummed with excitement as tearful family members greeted 235 Ohio Army National Guard soldiers from all over the state, including many from Southwest Ohio.
They're all members of the 3,600-strong 37th Infantry Brigade Team, which lost three soldiers in a suicide attack in April. The war in Afghanistan, known as Operation Enduring Freedom, has claimed the lives of 2,106 soldiers worldwide; another 17.519 have been wounded. That was very much on the mind of Betsy Heximer as she hugged her son, Sgt. Rard Hamber of Springfield. "We feel so blessed and thankful that he's finally home safe," she said. "I can't imagine what the families are going through who lost their loved ones."
Fifty-five of the soldiers who came home Sunday — including Marshall, Hamber, Patrick Wright of Beavercreek and Seth Parker of Trotwood — hail from the Columbus-based Task Force 1-134 Field Artillery Regiment. Over the coming year, in an ongoing series, "Home from War," The Dayton Daily News will feature the stories of some of the local soldiers from the 600-member battalion as they readjust to civilian life.
The road ahead could be difficult, they all know, but on Sunday morning they felt nothing but the joy of homecoming. Pamela Brown Parker couldn't believe she was about to be reunited with her son Seth after a year's deployment. "I can't wait to see his beautiful face," she said. "I'm feeling a little shiver. I feel like I want to cry, and that is not me!"
Brown Parker scolded herself, "Get a grip!" but couldn't keep the tears from flowing when she embraced her son. For his part, Parker couldn't wait to go home, relax, and not do much of anything. One of his buddies expressed the prevailing sentiment when he vowed "to do what I want, when I want, and have no plans whatsoever!"
The fathers in the group are eager to step back into their children's lives. Patrick Wright will be looking for a job soon, but on Sunday, he reported, "Today we are taking it minute by minute. We had a five-star meal of pizza and beer, one of my favorites. That was followed by a bit of wrestling with my sons, a few minutes playing the Wii, then a bike ride, and some ball."
David Marshall, too, hopes to make up for lost time: "I've missed the birthdays of all four of my kids. They've changed so much. My youngest wasn't talking when I left. Now he's chatting up a storm."
He's eager to provide backup for his wife Grace, who has been a single mom, essentially, for the past year. "And I'm eager for him to take over," said Grace, beaming.
Marshall kept up with his family through phone calls and Skype, even if it meant getting up in the middle of the night. Still, Grace predicted, "It will be a transition for the kids to accept him as an authority figure again."
Marshall is thankful for his job as an intelligence analyst at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. "It's rough for a lot of these guys who don't have a job yet," he said.
Some soldiers, like Hamber and Parker, hope to continue their education. Hamber earned a degree in criminal justice from Sinclair Community College and worked as a highway patrolman and police officer, but now he's studying through an online univerity to become a nursing home administrator.
"The sky's the limit for him," said his girlfriend, Debbie Lonsway of Springfield. She said the long separation has been stressful. "If he's having a bad day, I'm having a bad day," she said. "This has been the longest year ever. But this has made us closer than ever."
Now that Hamber is home, Lonsway hopes their relationship will keep getting stronger. "I hope he'll be able to talk about his feelings instead of keeping them bottled up."
Concurred his mother, "I hope he'll be able to reach out, not just to us but to others. That can be the toughest thing for him."
Hamber's father, Wendell Heximer, is troubled that the war in Atghanistan is getting so little attention in the media and the presidential campaign. "It's the forgotten war," he said. "We heard about the war in Iraq every day. But we hear very little about Afghanistan."
That bothers him more than it does his son. "Right now, they're all just glad to be home," Heximer said. "But they are all going to need our continuing love and support."
