The head of the Employers & Manufacturers' Association has publicly apologised over comments he made on radio this morning about women's menstruation and its effect on workplace productivity.
Alasdair Thompson, the chief executive officer of the EMA (Northern) and a member of the APEC Business Advisory Council, said he was amazed with the enormous response he'd had via email since making the comment that women get paid less than men because they take sick days 'once a month'.
He was also astounded that his comments, which he acknowledged appeared sexist when taken out of context, had also seen him 'trending' at number two on Twitter today.
''I do apologise to anybody and all those people who have taken offence at what I've said,'' he told BusinessDay.
''There's been a lot of news media cutting and dicing and putting their own spin on this. People are picking that up and then getting upset with it and I don't blame them.''
Labour Minister Kate Wilkinson described Thompson's comments as a ''brain explosion''
"If that was the case there would be many of us entitled to about 12 years sick pay," she told Parliament's transport and industrial relations select committee.
"I don't give any credence to that comment whatsoever. It is outrageous."
Employment and Social Development Minister Paula Bennett said the comments were "archaic".
"And coming from someone that's a little bit behind the times. He sounded a bit like a dinosaur to me."
Asked if the Government should keep working with Thompson, Bennett said it wasn't her comment to make.
"But I must admit I didn't think it was that impressive."
The Council of Trade Unions (CTU) called for Thompson to resign but he's refusing to do so.
''When I take the interview in its entirety this morning, I don't think that it was wrong - we are a grown up country, we're debating issues and not hiding, not just saying (to me) you're a dinosaur, you're not PC, you're in the last century, in the dark ages...the response has been to attack me but a lot of it's been screwed around to not put in context.
''There's a lot of really glad people out there amongst the socialists and the Greens and so on and (CTU president) Helen Kelly who are very, very pleased to have an opportunity to make a lot of hay of it and they're spinning it for all it's worth.
''I understand that - whether the wider public understand that time will tell.''
Thompson and the CTU's Kelly faced each other on Mike Hosking's talkback show this morning on a Green Party Bill which will let women have access to information about pay rates in their workplace to test if there is gender-based discrimination.
Kelly maintained it was ''proven'' that there were pay gaps based on gender only right across the workforce. She said if there were two accountants in a firm with the same qualifications, often the man would be paid more.
He interjected: ''Statistics don't tell the whole truth - they don't explain why this happens.
''The fact is women have babies, they take time out with their careers, have babies - look, I don't like saying this...this is how contentious this is.''
Thompson said if statistics had to be relied upon, those that showed who took the most sick leave should be looked at.
''Why do they take the most sick leave? Women do in general. Why? Because once a month they have sick problems, not all of them but some do,'' he said.
''They have children that they have to take leave of therefore their productivity...(it's) not their fault. It may be that they have not got it sorted with their partners where the partners take more responsibility for what happens outside work.''
He said there were ''a lot of these issues'', none of which would be covered sufficiently in workplace pay stats.
Thompson said in a statement later that the EMA backs and promotes equal pay for equal productivity.
People on the streets of Auckland spoken to by Stuff have rubbished the comments.
Sarah Charteris said the idea that women have to take time off each month was unfair.
"The whole thing about once a month, I think that's quite dramatic I don't believe that at all. I don't think that's fair. There's a lot of women out there who have been the backbone of society."
Debbie Bryant rubbished the comments and in her experience said men take just as much sick leave as women.
"I think that's rubbish. I know over the years I've probably taken less sick leave. Men have to take days off as well. I employ a driver and I know that he has to take off just as many days as his wife to look after their child."
Helena Kaur agreed and said if employers are willing to take on both men and women to do the same job, then pay rates should be equal.
"If we have work to be done we don't just pull a sick leave for no reason. We pretty much do the same job men do. If [employers] are open to taking both [men and women] why should women get paid any less than men?"
It was not only women who were outraged by Thompson's remarks. Glenn Roper called the comments "ridiculous" and "sexist".
"I don't think that's fair at all. I think if you're doing a job and you're doing it the same as everyone else you deserve to get equal pay. It's quite ridiculous, quite sexist and doesn't make a lot of sense to me at all."
"Pay rates should be the same for everyone doing the same job. Sick leave is a different issue really to the pay rates", said John McLean, who thought sick leave was up to the individual employer and a completely separate issue to pay equality.

Great wallpaper, a little stiff and tricky to install Sam from VA on 11/30/2014 – Verified Buyer
I got this wallpaper since I have purchased another Graham and brown wallpaper before and loved it. This one however is a lit more stiffer and thicker so it required a lot more time to install and more paste helped. Still, very happy with the end result. Pros: Textured and shines Cons: Really thick and takes time to install
looks different then picture Claudia from clackamas, OR on 03/13/2015 – Verified Buyer
Picture doesn't really show what it actually looks like. I ended up not using it. It didn't match my paint scheme.

Jobless claims trend downward, but unemployment rate still stuck
Finding good news when it comes to the U.S. unemployment rate requires extremely low expectations. Jobless claims rose last week, but not as much as economists expected. Employment has been growing steadily as the number of people filing for unemployment insurance has held steady, but not enough to budge the 9.6 percent U.S. unemployment rate.

I wanted to see this too but it did not play anywhere near me. Shame.
Yeah but they didn't really release it wide enough for most folks to see. I think they wanted it to be a contender for the Oscars but the critics didn't give it much praise. It looks like a lot of fun and I'm stoked to see it...thought I was willing to put my money up in theaters so, oh well. Their loss.
Yup. Since November.

Living On Food Stamps: Newark Mayor Cory Booker Starts Challenge Today
Originally published on Wed December 5, 2012 8:02 am
A campaign to raise awareness about the struggles of low-income Americans who depend on food stamps gets a high-profile plug today as Mayor Cory Booker of Newark, N.J., begins a week of living on $30 worth of food.
The Democratic politician took up the SNAP/Food Stamp Challenge after getting into a discussion with a fellow Twitter user about "the role the government should play in funding school breakfast and lunch programs," The Star-Ledger writes.
His challenge (SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or food stamps) is to live for a week on the $4-or-so per day average that New Jersey food stamp recipients receive.
Booker is very active on Twitter, and is sure to be posting updates about his experience. He's already twitpic'd a photo of his grocery receipt for the week. He spent $29.78, mostly on fruits, some vegetables and "lots of beans," as The Star-Ledger says.
Booker writes on Linked In that:
"My goals for the #SNAPChallenge are to raise awareness and understanding of food insecurity; reduce the stigma of SNAP participation; elevate innovative local and national food justice initiatives and food policy; and, amplify compassion for individuals and communities in need of assistance. Over the next seven days, I plan to highlight the voices of people involved in local food policy, the SNAP program, and other related initiatives. ... Throughout this week, I will document my #SNAPChallenge experiences and reflections on LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and through video on #waywire."

Sen. Lindsey Graham is threatening to hold up all nominations for federal government positions until survivors of last year's deadly attack on the diplomatic post in Libya appear before Congress.
The South Carolina Republican made the threat Monday on his official Twitter account.
The tweet said: "Where are the #Benghazi survivors? I'm going to block every appointment in the US Senate until they are made available to Congress."
Graham is among lawmakers who are not satisfied with information they've received so far on the attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans on Sept. 11, 2012.
Prominent nominations awaiting Senate confirmation include Janet Yellen for chair of the Federal Reserve and Jeh Johnson for secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

The next day was sunny, and we toured St. Augustine. Did you know this town was continuously occupied for over 200 years before the Declaration of Independence was signed? We toured the Castillo de San Marcos, the Spanish fort built to protect the town in the 17th century. We learned about coquila, ...

Removing Photos from iPhoto
Despite iPhoto's long history, many people continue to be confused about exactly what happens when you delete a photo. There are three possibilities.
If you delete a photo from an album, book, card, calendar, or saved slideshow, the photo is merely removed from that item and remains generally available in your iPhoto library.
If, however, you delete a photo while in Events or Photos view, that act moves the photo to iPhoto's Trash. It's still available, but...
If you then empty iPhoto's Trash, all photos in it will be deleted from the iPhoto library and from your hard disk.

BrewDog: Rise of the fanvestor
- 11 May 2012
Forward looking investors have to decide what is better value. They must select between six months of a chief executive's time and the same amount going into beer making and distribution facilities. It's a decision between institutional investors and "fanvestors", the near 6,000 beer drinkers who have backed BrewDog with their own cash as well as bar purchases. Finally, they have to choose between a global company with a marketing budget of tens of millions and one whose skilful use of social media has produced publicity and growth that its larger competitor can only drool over.
But before looking at what goes and does not go for the two models, Diageo investors have to work out who is to blame for the fiasco which saw the Guinness and Johnny Walker owners with interests from Malaysia to Mayo handing the micro-brewery countless millions of free publicity while generating bad headlines for itself.
If the chief executive can take the credit for successes – including a doubling of the Diageo share price over the past three or so years – then he should also take the blame for one of the most outrageous acts of corporate stupidity. This ensured that the many millions who had never heard of BrewDog and its Fanvestor financing now have the Scottish firm and it money raising strategy on their radar.
Last weekend, the British Institute of Innkeeping held an awards dinner for the Scottish drinks trade in Glasgow. It was sponsored by Diageo. BrewDog knew it had been voted "top bar operator" because it had been told so and the trophy had already been engraved with its name.
But for reasons still unexplained, Diageo executives told the organisers that they would withdraw future sponsorship if BrewDog was awarded the prize. Despite the engraving, the awards organiser tried to give the trophy to another firm which promptly refused to accept it.
Cue for BrewDog, which has based its success so far on its clever and low cost use of social media, to unleash a torrent of Twitter protest, ensuring that an awards evening which should have been of little interest outside the Scottish drinks trade went global.
Diageo has now been forced to grovel and apologise – the fate of those responsible for the costly and pointless pressure on the awards organiser is not known.
BrewDog's finance model appears to be unique in the UK outside of the music industry. Fanvestors are simply people who are enthusiasts for the product who have the money to invest in an idea.
How does fanvesting differ from other methods of raising finance?
- Unlike conventional start-up finance, fanvestors do not start with a financial proposition. Instead, the starting point is the product itself. Fanvestors in the music arena, for example, hear the words and tunes, like them and then see the possibility of profitable expansion.
- It can be the reverse of crowd-sourcing where social media is used to publicise a proposition, convince investors and take their money. Fanvestors are already convinced of the proposition because they already either listen to the music or – in the case of BrewDog – already like the beer. So they have an incentive to invest in order to further spread their taste, joining others to what you do is central to social media strategy.
- Fanvestors become individual ambassadors for the firms in which they invest. It is not a passive or purely financial involvement.
- Fanvesting needs Financial Services Authority regulation and approval while other methods of raising capital do not.
What other industries could raise money via fanvesting?
Almost anything in the consumer arena. This could include:
- food where specialist products have their fan base which would be willing to spread the message and put their money behind it.
- Fashion where the costs of entry can be low but expanding past that starting base demands more capital.
- Specialist electronic goods which need to better publicised. Conventional advertising can be prohibitively expensive so a mix of social media from incentivised investors can produce dividends.
- Websites - many fans of blogs and other sites often wish they could expand their reach. Fanvesting gives them the chance to do this.
- The essential is that the product can start from a low cost base. It would not be suitable for projects that demand large amounts of capital upfront.

Bob Dylan, America's Greatest Mystic Poet, is 70 Today
The Minnesota Bard is seven decades old today. He is my hero. He is crazy. He owns -- or owned - a big yacht. His mom knew my grandma in the North Country, where I was born.
He was Jewish, Christian, and turned the Beatles on to LSD....Yackity, yackity. You know all the about Dylan.
This month Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone have done wonderful features that look back on Bob's career. There are photos from the Rolling Thunder review and a great trivia quiz. Check em out.
For the record, these are my favorite Dylan lyrics: "Darkness at the break of noon, shadows even the silver spoon, the handmade blade, the child's balloon, to understand you know to soon, there is no sense in trying."

IndyCar confirms it's exploring New Orleans as potential event (VIDEO)
May 5, 2014, 11:21 AM EDT
Where there's smoke, there's fire when it comes to the prospect of the Verizon IndyCar Series racing in New Orleans in 2015, which was initially reported on Sunday by the Associated Press.
The official release from INDYCAR had this opening line: "INDYCAR announced today it is exploring a prospective Verizon IndyCar Series race at NOLA Motorsports Park in Avondale, La."
This is code for, if the dollars are there and a time in the schedule is right, the event is likely to happen.
The series' newest race – this weekend's Grand Prix of Indianapolis at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway – was first announced as "being explored," then featured a compatibility test and then, lo and behold, the trigger was pulled on the road course race.
As for this potential one, further details are set to be revealed as of noon CT on Monday. Here's what we know now:
- It would be known as the INDYCAR Grand Prix of Louisiana.
- It would be organized and promoted by Andretti Sports Marketing, who continue to expand their footprint in the motorsports arena.
- The announcement of today's press conference was made jointly today with Gov. Bobby Jindal and Laney Chouest, owner of NOLA Motorsports Park.
- The state of Louisiana, upon approval by its Legislature, would commit $4.5 million to make necessary enhancements to the racetrack in support of the potential event. This investment, combined with private funding from NOLA Motorsports Park, will help facilitate track and facility improvements as required by INDYCAR.
"We're delighted by this broad show of support and encouraged by the prospect of a Verizon IndyCar Series race in New Orleans," Mark Miles, CEO of Hulman & Company, the parent of INDYCAR and IMS, said in a release. "We greatly appreciate Laney Chouest, his associates at NOLA, and the state of Louisiana for their efforts to make enhancements to NOLA Motorsports Park. With these improvements we're confident that NOLA can meet our standards for safety, fan experience and quality of racing. We look forward to continuing this dialogue in hopes of making New Orleans a destination that may soon host a Verizon IndyCar Series event."
Added Gov. Jindal, via the release: "This is great news for our entire state. A three-day event would allow us to show off the excitement of an IndyCar Series race right here in Louisiana, as well as our state's culture, entertainment and food. This event would be a great economic driver for our state and a great weekend for the whole family. Verizon IndyCar Series events serve as the gathering point for automotive industry leaders and INDYCAR sponsors, most of which are Fortune 500 companies. As a result, NOLA Motorsports expects several businesses to locate to Louisiana once the race is scheduled, which will create more great jobs and economic momentum for Jefferson Parish and our state."
INDYCAR, by way of the Mazda Road to Indy ladder system, has already had experience at NOLA Motorsports Park with rounds of the 2014 Cooper Tires Winterfest held there. Here's an on-board camera from Belardi Auto Racing's Florian Latorre in USF2000. Latorre now drives for Cape Motorsports with Wayne Taylor Racing.
Additionally, here is some older footage of Gustavo Yacaman in one of Michael Shank Racing's Daytona Prototypes.
We'll see if this comes together and if today's announcement is the first step towards the first new permanent, purpose-built road course race joining the IndyCar calendar since Barber Motorsports Park in 2010.

PEABODY – Hosting a youth football clinic at Bishop Fenwick High School on Saturday morning, ailing Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski tried to steer clear of questions about his health.
Gronkowski, with his surgically-repaired left arm in a cast and sling, was more of a presence than a participant at the well-attended event.
Asked about his mobility in being able to instruct, Gronkowski said, "Doing a camp like this, it's just fun going out here, we're just hanging out. Obviously, if I was mobile I'd be out there running around with the kids. It's a blast always doing things with kids, and unfortunately I can't run out there, so maybe in the near future one time I'll be out there with the kids running around. Right now I can give them advice, everyone is coming up to me asking questions, we're just doing pictures and we're having a blast that way."
Gronkowski has a looming back surgery to repair a disk problem. His agent Drew Rosenhaus has described the procedure as "minor."
A PR staffer informed the invited media just before Gronkowski spoke that questions about his health were off-limits and that the interview would end if his health was broached.
Gronkowski's health, of course, is the foremost issue when it comes to discussing the tight end. The fact he plays football for a living is the reason scores of participants turned out for the event. And when he think he'll be able to do that again is the primary question that needs answering.
As for what he tells the campers when they ask how long before he'll be on the field, Gronkowski said, "I just tell them every time, 'we'll see.' Obviously I tell the kids, 'you'll see me out there again one day.' That's all, no guarantee answer to them, I just mess around and I'm just here to have a good time with them."
Gronk hosts clinic; stays quiet on health

People Magazine has just revealed that Channing Tatum is the 'Sexiest Man Alive'! Responding to the news, the actor commented "My first thought was, 'Y'all are messing with me. I told [wife] Jenna after we'd been in the bathtub washing our dogs because they'd gotten skunked. She was like, 'What?'" He jokingly added, "Yeah, she calls me [the Sexiest Man Alive] now."
The muscular 32-year-old heartthrob is currently training for his next role, that of an Olympic athlete in the upcoming film 'Foxcatcher.' "I like to be lean. If I get too bulky I can't move well and I like to move," he says. "When I'm not training, I get really round and soft."
The special issue of People Magazine will be available on newsstands this Friday.
Tatum is best known for his roles in Step Up (2006), G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009), Dear John (2010), The Vow (2012), 21 Jump Street (2012), and Magic Mike (2012). He has also appeared in films such as Coach Carter (2005), She's the Man (2006), A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints (2006), Fighting (2009), and The Dilemma (2010). While mostly known for his dramatic performances in Dear John and The Vow, he has since ventured into more comedic roles.

Dying Father Films Dance with Daughter for Her Future Wedding Day
Dr. James Wolf has been given three months to live, suffering from terminal pancreatic cancer. A father, he told The Today Show, "There are a lot of things that I would've liked the girls to experience with me being there. And I'm not going to be there." So recently, he and his 25-year-old daughter invited guests, rented a limo (which was donated) and had the moment they'd both always waited for: a father/daughter wedding reception dance. Even though Rachel isn't getting married, she wore a wedding dress so that her and her dad could still experience the special moment. A crowd of friends and family all also dressed up and watched as the two slow danced to Steven Curtis Chapman's "Cinderella." The dance was even filmed so it can played one day at Rachel's actual wedding. Dr. Wolf later said, "It's the relationships that you build over the years that is the most important thing in life. Everything else is just an illusion" …

June 8, 2015 - I love this bag. I am trying to replace everything I use regularly with Animal Rescue items. This duffle bag will be great for weekends. It has lots of space and pockets. Great for quick trips.
May 15, 2015 - Really like the size of this bag. Only wish is that the strap was removable and thicker material. Great size overall and definitely worth it. This is big enough to pack all my must haves for 2 dogs when heading out on day trips and vacations.

Love It!,
This review is from: A Solitary Man (Audio CD)
This is a great debut album from Jonathan Jeremiah and he's a lovely guy, met him recently on tour supporting Katie Melua at the Philharmonic Hall Liverpool.
His songs are very easy listening great lyrics and all a beautiful sound through and through. If you like Cat Stevens, Nick Drake like i do you will hear a resemblence in some of his songs but he does have his own unique voice/style and the young orchestra that perform on this album with him are superb, just wish they had of been with him at the Phil! Well worth a listen, and loved by a wide age group, i bought this for my mum who also saw him live and loved him and she is 80 years old! Check him out! :-)

The men's Junior Black Sticks remain undefeated in the Sultan of Johor Cup after beating hosts Malaysia 5-2 in Johor Bahru last night.
In front of 7000 spectators, the national under-21 side put together a strong performance which coach Grant Edwards thought was a definite step up from their opening 3-3 draw with Pakistan.
''I was pleased with our pass rate, speed and attack. Defensively, I thought the team was well organised, marked tightly and denied Malaysia the chance to attack,'' he said.
New Zealand scored in the 17th minute as Canterbury's Angus Hazlett passed to Ben Radovonich who deflected it into the goal.
The next two goals came from Malaysia – a penalty stroke and then a successfully converted penalty corner – to give the hosts a 2-1 lead.
But New Zealand fought back and scored twice in two minutes - Brennan Alexander–Parker found a loose ball in the circle and tapped it in and then Radonovich scored his second goal of the game as the Kiwis led 3-2 at the break.
New Zealand continued to dominate in the second half with goals coming from Kane Russell in the 47th minute and Michael Ritchie, who used his speed to weave through the Malaysian defence and score in the 52nd minute.
Playes to earn the coach's plaudits were were Ritchie and Radonovich at the attacking end and Trent Lett, Scott Kearney and Russell in defence.
New Zealand's next match is against Germany tomorrow night. Germany are bottom of the table, having been beaten 3-2 by Malaysia and 3-1 by India.

Move out of offices, Rahul Gandhi tells PCCs; sets time-bound agenda
New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi on Saturday set time-bound targets for the state Congress chiefs, who were asked to increase contact with workers, making it clear that reward will be linked to their performance and tickets will be given only after the candidates fulfill the set criteria.
After a two-day interaction with PCC chiefs and CLP leaders as part of an exercise to tone up the Congress before the next vote, Gandhi asked the state party presidents to "move out of party`s state offices" for at least 10 days in a month and visit the districts and blocks to hear the partymen`s grievances and strengthen the organisation.
He also gave a timeline of two-months to the state leaders to ensure that all district Congress Committees and Block Congress Committees are constituted in this period, adding that he will review the performance of the PCC chiefs on this count, party sources said.
Gandhi also decided to meet the PCC and CLP chiefs in the national capital once every two-three months and told them to carry out a similar exercise with DCC presidents in their states, they said.
He also promised to work out a mechanism to be in touch with the state leaders through internet tools or phone regularly saying "there should not be any communication gap".
Making it clear that only those who perform will be rewarded, the Congress Vice President also sounded a warning that leaders who fail to come up with desired results will be made answerable, the sources said.
Amid complaints that Union Ministers do not visit party offices when they visit the states, Gandhi said that the ministers must visit the PCC offices and interact with the state leaders when they go there.
The meeting saw demands that senior leaders, who recommend tickets for anyone, should take responsibility if the candidates perform badly or lose. A demand was also raised to implement the `one-man one-post` formuale in the party.
Gandhi had yesterday deprecated the tendency of groupism amid complaints by PCC chiefs from Delhi and Madhya Pradesh against against Delhi Chief Minister Shiela Dikshit and some Union Ministers from Madhya Pradesh respectively, which is ruled by the Opposition BJP.

ROLLE, SWITZERLAND – ADM Cocoa has launched globally a deZaan cocoa powder with 0.5% fat. The D-00-ZR cocoa powder may be used to formulate lower calorie products with lower saturated fat content. The products still may have the desired chocolate taste and bright chocolate color, according to ADM Cocoa, which has a U.S. office in Milwaukee.
The cocoa powder has been shown to enhance the quality of formulations where fat may have a negative effect, such as protein foam based confectionery and bakery products.
"The presence of fat may have a negative effect on the functionality of ingredients in the formulation, but at the same time fat also provides flavor to a product," said Brent Cuddy, trade director, cocoa powder. "D-00-ZR delivers the flavor not the fat. Due to the unique production processes of D-00-ZR, the cocoa solids are able to carry an intense chocolaty flavor. Consumers nowadays are more health-conscious but still look for great flavors and indulgence. This unique reduced–fat cocoa powder helps achieve this with ultra low fat levels.
