The Telstra Perth Fashion Festival is fast approaching and it won't be long before the Perth fashion community will be joining forces to support Western Australian designers. We can't wait to watch the amazing local talent strut their stuff down the runway!
Each year, the dedicated team behind Telstra Perth Fashion Festival promise exciting and appealing shows with fresh and innovative faces and this year will be no exception (don't forget the Forrest Chase show on September 19th at 12pm!). To get you ready for Spring and the Telstra Perth Fashion Festival we have put together a collection of sunglasses that are sure to protect your eyes as well as ensure you are travelling to and from Perth CBD in utmost style.
Our friends at Sunglass Hut have truly delivered this season with a range of different styles to wear on any occasion. The Ray-Ban 'Clubmaster' ( bottom left $309.95) are not only on-trend but they may be the most convenient pair of sunglasses we've ever seen! Without compromising on quality, the 'Clubmaster' is a classic Ray-Ban style that folds at the bridge of the sunglasses to become a neat and compact accessory that will fit anywhere. This particular pair of sunglasses is timeless and is sure to make heads turn.
For an edgy yet laidback look, try the 'Cubist' (Top left $39.95) sunglasses from Sportsgirl. A classically structured pair of shades, the 'Cubist' are for those cool kids who want to add a bit of sparkle to their outfit. We recommend pairing these sunglasses with a nude piece like this the Self Tie Trench Coat from Witchery ($249.95 see in store at Forrest Chase for details) or let your sunglasses make their own statement by wearing an all-black ensemble. Either way, Sportsgirl have yet again nailed it with their selection of shades and the best part? At only $39.95, they don't break the bank.
For the brave, we have sourced this amazing pair of Miu Miu sunglasses (Middle right $490.00), also available from Sunglass Hut. Their unique frames are a definite standout piece and even if you have no idea what to wear to the Telstra Perth Fashion Festival, don't worry because these shades will steal all the limelight anyway! With a choice of five colours, Miu Miu have truly delivered this season and although our credit cards may not, everyone else will be thanking you for rocking such an awesome accessory.
Who doesn't love a bit of reflective action? Ray-Ban have hit the nail on the head with this pair of rock star aviators that are the epitome of awesome (Bottom right $249.95). The combinations of colours are endless so no matter what your outfit, Sunglass Hut has you covered. Ray-Ban aviators are the ultimate pair of sunglasses for those channelling the current sport-luxe trend that Perth is loving oh so much.
The pick from Portmans is the 'All Day, All Night' sunglasses and the name embodies exactly what these sunglasses are – a classic and versatile accessory that can be worn at any time of day (Top right $39.95). If you are heading to a day runway show, the 'All Day, All Night' sunglasses are a great extra addition to an outfit and the tortoiseshell is so timeless.
Speaking of international runways, Prada have released a unique cat-eye pair of sunglasses that sunglass lovers all over the world are swooning over (Middle left $390.00). The quality is undeniable and the materials used epitomise Prada's brand vision. They are completely exclusive which means if you want to be one of a kind at the Telstra Perth Fashion Festival this year, these one of a kind sunglasses are the pair for you. You can snag a pair of these Prada sunglasses from Myer in Forrest Chase.
So no matter the occasion, budget or outfit, Forrest Chase has you covered for sunglasses this season. Sunglasses are the perfect accessory as they are practical yet can also complete an entire look. If you are heading to any shows at the Telstra Perth Fashion Festival, ensure you make the time to pop in to Forrest Chase to view our exclusive selection of sunglasses and sit front row with your shades, à la Anna Wintor.
Here's to spring!

Miranda Kerr is a style icon for a reason. She's a yummy mummy who always looks polished and stylish and we can help you recreate the look!
Beginning with the Dash of Colour Shirt from Sportsgirl ($79.95). This classic shirt can be worn with jeans on the weekend or dressed up with a skirt and heels for work! Miranda pulls hers off with Nobody Jeans – yes you can get the exact same pair (believe it) from Live Clothing. They come in a range of shapes and colours so you can find the pair that work for you, however Miranda wears the Cult Skinny Jean (they range from $180).
Keep it classic with a pair of Ballet Flats, like the Camilo's from Novo Shoes ($39.95 – umm bargain!) and a pair of shades. You'll find the Prada Voice Sunnies in Black/Grey ($380) from Sunglass Hut, and they have similar styles and a lower price point too.
Now the final touches! OPI Nail Polish in Cajun Shrimp on the digits – a nice shade of flavoursome red with a hint of coral, bound to bring out the pink tones on the shirt (was $19.95 now $14.96 from Myer). Accompanied with the Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine Lipstick in Intouchable… doesn't that sound nice?! It hydrates and softens the lips whilst making your lips POP! ($55 from Myer). You can store that in the Fossil Memoir Pocketbook Crossbody in Light Yellow, originally $ 229 now $ 159.95.

Profit Sharing
Posted in the Chrysler Forum
1 - 20 of 63 Comments Last updated Apr 18, 2013
#1 Jan 14, 2013
Aside from the other profit sharing post I needed to add my own bc all they do is argue over nothing....i will have my seniority in a week and I'm trying to find out if I will even get profit sharing regardless if it's $1500 or 6k...
#2 Jan 14, 2013
Or less or higher just want to know who qualifies for it?
#3 Jan 14, 2013
You need 1870ish hours to qualify for a full cut of the profit sharing. If you have less than that you will get a partial check. I am not sure if there is a cut off. I would guess maybe around 700 hours which would be under 26 weeks? Not 100% sure. So if your just getting seniority, I doubt you will have enough hours to get much, if anything.
#4 Jan 14, 2013
Sorry uninformed since you wasn't a employee for the 2012 year you don't qualify for the 2012 profit sharing even tho its paid this year. Hopefully we have another good year & you get to enjoy it next year.
United States
#5 Jan 14, 2013
What they say is true, maybe next year
#6 Jan 14, 2013
u don't deserve a profit sharing check u might be getting laid off by the summer anyway, u freaking two tier get on my nerves all yall do is worry about bonus checks, stop smoking crack and save your paychecks
#7 Jan 14, 2013
that's not all we do. He asked a question because he's new and wanted to know. Why not be helpful and try to give knowledge? If you don't want to answer shut the fuck up and keep the bullshit to yourself. I respect tier 1's because they paved the way for us but we are the future and we deserve respect too.
#8 Jan 14, 2013
Thanx for all the respectful responses....simple questions deserve simple answers I overlook ignorance and stupidity!!
United States
#9 Jan 14, 2013
No you won't get one if you do it will only go by the hours u worked as a full time so you prob had 2 months of hours you may get $100
#10 Jan 14, 2013
A lot of new hires are coming off a long period of unemployment. Why wouldnt they try to find out if they are eligible? It would be ignorant not to. If you dont need a profit sharing check then good for you, why be a dick to ppl that could really use one? To those new you need 1850 hours and I dont know what the cutoff is as far as the minimum hours needed for the lowest prorated amount. I have heard from what has been a pretty reliable source on other issues that the amount of the full payout will be in the neighborhood of 3k. But I am not claiming to know for sure
#12 Jan 15, 2013
Two tier shouldn't Even be a question, I don't know about u retard but we lost friends And family when the uaw let the plants close, now they letting all these people replace them making Half the wage. We want the people who gave their jobs away because Of lies to get those profit Sharing Checks. Not two tier Scabs
#15 Jan 15, 2013
Greedy? Hell yeah. You would be too. Yes we make more than you. And yes many knew someone to get into Chrysler. But most didn't. There was a hiring boom in the mid 90's just like now. Many filled out applications, took tests, drug tests. Just like you guys did. Once you get the job, there are no special privileges. Once you get the job, the ones who got you there, can't help you. Our pay is based on the national agreement. Not on special privileges. We simply have more years than tier 2. It's nothing more than that. We are adults with families. We have bills, mortgages, just like you. That's too bad that you think we all have family or whoever to help us. Glad you can overgenralize about tier 1's having family members with money. Sad that you can't look in the mirror and realize its your problem and you got yourself in whatever situation you are in. Hilarious you want to blame others for your problems. What we have had is years with a decent paying job. Tier 2's haven't had a chance to save much yet. It takes time to save money. Your pay will increase, ours will go down. So things will even out a bit in the future. Stop whining and being jealous. Does no good.
#18 Jan 15, 2013
What dues? You knew what you were getting into. Not sure how whining is going to help. Make your money, pay your bills,save as much as you can. It's pretty simple.
#20 Jan 15, 2013
U should He the first tonnes out, u should have to pay union dues tier 1 has been doing it for years, now shut up and work hard and Mabey u will get a bonus checks
#21 Jan 15, 2013
Did you misunderstand your hired in wage and the wage progression? It sounds like you did and maybe need to quit and go find another job that fits your needs. Ok ? Bye
United States
#23 Jan 15, 2013
Share the wealth, nice ghetto philosophy
#29 Jan 16, 2013
Its nice we use this website to air the civil war between the tiers. Tier 2s need to stop complaining they make less money...have you ever worked anywhere that EVERYONE made the same amount of money? I seriously doubt it, people who have worked there the longest always make more money. Tier 1s need to stop saying every tier 2 is just a lazy greedy bastard. Tier 1s pretty much can control if a new hire make the 90 days or not. When you get new people don't baby them, test them hard. I don't know how many new hires got their ass wiped for them, then once they have the 90 in we realize the suck and cant do any of the jobs within cycle time or just whine about being sore. I do feel bad for the tier 2s that worked at my plant for 10 years making $25hr only to finally be offered full time at $14hr, union should have never let it happen. But i have noticed they are a lot harder workers then the rest of the new hires because tpts got treated like whores on dollar day everyday. Some of these new people have no sense of loss or the struggle its just give me give me give me. Its our job as the senior employees that when the tier 2s start complaining, to educate them on just how good they have it compared to the hell other went through before them and in time the money will come. Regardless of tier we do have the same goal.
#31 Jan 16, 2013
I love hearing tier 1 cry and tier 2 cry everybody just work and be happy you have a job tier 1 people think the world owes them something cuz they have seniority well who cares what you have and tier 2 your time will come so enjoy a full time job at 16 or 17 an hour or go find another that won't pay you half of what you get now.
#32 Jan 16, 2013
Are you retarded? First of all the reason there is even a Tier 2 is because the union allowed it and I am guessing you were part of the majority that didn't give a shit because it didnt affect you, even though if union members b4 you did the same thing you would have been screwed.Two, we were not told anything about replacing anyone. Heck I was told I'd probably be making tier 1 wages within 6 mo because of all the new hiring they were doing. And lastly after 18 months of being unemployed when I had never made less than 65k a year I wasnt turning down any full-time job.So don't vote in Tier 2 then bitch. Pay em outta ur check if u feel so bad. Bet that'll happen right?
#33 Jan 16, 2013
There is so much B.S. in these rooms someone needs to open a window. 95% of any post that is actually on topic is so self-serving and transparently so that it is laughable. So people can stow the solidarity speeches or facade about how dedicated they are to the old-timers that lost their jobs. You guys saved your own ass by allowing the cuts and the tier 2 wages.I don't really know if you had options or werent given the right information or simply caved and I dont really care. You did what you thought was best for you and your family. Tier 2 of course wants to do want is best for them and their familes. Everybody will be out for themselves come contract time, if that even matters as we will see what right-to-work means for collective bargaining power.And while I'd love everyone to have a job and be millionaires and hold hands skipping down the street singing "Kumbayah" I will be doing whats best for me first and then seeing what I can do for others and so will everyone else so enough with the B.S.

also, i like that the first guy they list among 'current and former MLB players" is a guy who's yet to debut (j.profar).
no, not "a star", but frazier's 137 ops+ this year is pretty nice.
Todd Frazier is not a ####### MLB star.Reds fans would disagree.
Sheffield's team was defeated by the Far East representative from Hualian, Taiwan, 4-3, in the championship game [and he has been super ####### pissed ever since!].

One race... TWO gold medals: Women's downhill skiers make Olympic history after prestige event ends in a dead heat for the first time ever
- Slovenia's Tina Maze and Switzerland's Dominique Gisin share gold in Sochi
- Both hurtled down the course in exactly one minute, 41.57 seconds
- The good friends held hands as they stepped up to the podium together
For the first time in Olympic history, an Alpine skiing race has ended in a dead heat.
Tina Maze of Slovenia and Dominique Gisin of Switzerland both hurtled down Sochi's Rosa Khutor course in exactly one minute, 41.57 seconds to share gold in women's downhill.
A few moments later, the good friends held hands as they stepped up to the top of the podium.
Scroll down for video
Double gold: Friends and rivals Dominique Gisin, left, from Switzerland and and Slovenia's Tina Maze shared the glory after the Women's Alpine Downhill event ended in a tie for the first time in Olympic history
Celebration: The pair both hurtled down Sochi's Rosa Khutor course in exactly one minute, 41.57 seconds to share gold
'I'm sure glad I'm going to share this gold with Tina,' said Gisin, who will get a medal all to herself. 'She's such a great woman and one of the greatest athletes of our sport.'
Lara Gut of Switzerland earned bronze, 0.10 behind the winners.
While the event was the eighth time that Olympic gold has been awarded to two competitors in the Winter Games, it was a first in the prestige Alpine skiing.
'Maybe just one finger or one hand can change the color of a medal,' said Maze, adding there was no need to slice up their finishing times into thousandths of seconds rather than hundredths.
'It's even more interesting because it's not a usual thing,' Maze said. 'It's something special.'
Switzerland's Dominique Gisin makes a turn in the women's downhill at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics
On the edge: Tina Maze of Slovenia powers down the Sochi downhill course
Still, if the rare occurrence had to happen, it might have been predicted that Gisin and Maze would be involved.
the 28-year-old Gisin, it was only her third downhill victory, but two
have been in ties. In January 2009, she shared a World Cup victory with
Swedish great Anja Paerson in Altenmarkt-Zauchensee, Austria - the last
time a women's downhill ended in a tie.
was even involved in a three-way tie in October 2002. The World Cup
season-opening giant slalom in Soelden, Austria, saw Maze, Andrine
Flemmen of Norway and Nicole Hosp of Austria all occupy the podium's top
step. Hosp placed ninth Wednesday.
Slovenia's Tina Maze celebrates after finishing the women's downhill, to tie for first place with Switzerland's Dominique Gisin
Delight: Switzerland's Dominique Gisin shows her delight after finishing in joint first place at the women's downhill in Sochi
Over the Moon: The pair raced 30 minutes apart but still finished in exactly the same time
Wednesday's Olympic race seemed in Maze's hands when she led Gisin at each time split and speed check. But she then appeared to make a small mistake before the final slope, which was slowed by softening snow.
Wearing bib No. 21, Maze started 30 minutes after No. 8 Gisin as temperatures approached 50 degrees (10 C).
Maze stretched both arms overhead and threw her race goggles in the air after seeing that she shared the lead. It's the best result in a difficult season for the Slovenian, who has struggled to match her exceptional 2013 campaign.
Maze won two silvers at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, Gisin earned her
first major medal. When Maze completed her run, Gisin came out of the
leader's box and into the finish area to give her a hug.
Four years ago, Gisin's Olympic downhill ended when she crashed off the final jump and endured a long slide to the finish line, where she hit a bank of snow and was tossed into the air.

Then, Gisin sustained a concussion. This time, the Swiss racer was crying while speaking with her grandparents on her mobile phone.
'It was very emotional,' Gisin said. 'They did so much for me; my whole family did. This is just very nice to share it with them.'
The last tie in Olympic skiing happened in men's super-G at the 1998 Nagano Olympics. Didier Cuche of Switzerland and Hans Knauss of Austria both got silver behind winner Hermann Maier of Austria.
Twice, two women have tied for second place in Olympic giant slalom races.
At the 1992 Albertville Olympics, Diann Roffe of the United States and Anita Wachter of Austria both took silver behind Pernilla Wiberg of Sweden. At the 1964 Innsbruck Olympics, Christine Goitschel of France and Jean Saubert of the United States were second to gold medalist Marielle Goitschel of France.
Third place: Switzerland's Lara Gut removes her helmet after competing in the women's downhill to win the bronze medal

In men's downhill at the 1948 St. Moritz Olympics, Swiss pair Karl Molitor and Ralph Olinger tied for bronze when timing was measured in tenths of seconds.
Pre-race favorites Maria Hoefl-Riesch of Germany and Julia Mancuso of the United States slipped out of contention, racing after Gisin.
Hoefl-Riesch, who was looking for a record-equaling fourth Olympic Alpine gold, was 1.17 back in 13th place. Mancuso trailed by 0.99 in eighth place after losing more than a half-second in the lower sections.
'I really thought Tina could do it,' Mancuso said. 'She almost did the same thing that I did on the bottom, but she was going a little faster so I think she pulled it off.'
Mancuso had been fastest in the downhill portion of Monday's super-combined, in which she took bronze and Hoefl-Riesch won. Maze was fourth.

Friends: Slovenia's Tina Maze celebrates finishing the women's downhill, tying for first place with Switzerland's Dominique Gisin
Previous disappointment: Switzerland's Dominique Gisin crashes as she approaches the finish in the women's downhill at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics
That day, Gut had been second-fastest in downhill before letting a medal slip by skiing out in slalom.
On Wednesday, Gut was in tears again, seemingly unable to understand how her speed - clocking 64.9 mph (104.4 kph) - did not translate into a faster time.
Gut placed her hands on her bowed head and looked exasperated before walking over to hug her winning teammate.
'It's cool to win a bronze, but when you know you can do more, at the beginning I think it's normal to be a bit disappointed,' Gut said.
In a nasty crash, No. 4 starter Marie Marchand-Arvier of France slid back-first into safety fencing after losing her balance over a jump. She did not appear to be seriously hurt.

3 policies I support in principle, but not in practice
by Stephen Tall on April 29, 2016
There are some policies I really like the sound of. They are, you could say, almost too good to be true… Which is sadly what I expect we might find if we tried to implement them.
Here are three I've supported in the past, but when pressed on how they'd work in practice, have been forced to conclude they probably couldn't (at least, not within a democracy by a party wanting to win elections):
Unlimited (im)migration
I like the European ideal of free movement of people, so much I'd like to extend it. We're citizens of the world, so why shouldn't any of us be able to move around wherever we like? That doesn't mean our host country would be obliged to support us, of course. But if we're willing to stand on our own two feet, why shouldn't that be in whichever corner of the world we choose?
In drab reality, of course, I realise that, border controls and net migration restrictions are pretty fundamental to states' abilities to manage public services and maintain their current citizens' well-being.
100% inheritance tax
I'm with Adam Smith on the desirability of estate taxes: "There is no point more difficult to account for than the right we conceive men to have to dispose of their goods after death." Or, as Philip Collins has put it: "As a parent I have earned the money. As a child I have not." If you want true equality of opportunity, and I do, ensure each successive generation earns its own way.
In dour reality, of course, I realise that this will create all sorts of perverse incentives to dodge taxes, both legally and illegally, as well as the moral hazard of disincentivising household savings.
A Citizen's income
It would, of course, be terrific to be able to guarantee an above-poverty level of income to people who have no earnings from work at all, instantly stripping away the bureaucracy of the welfare state and the associated risks of dependency, assuring dignity to all. Little wonder it's an idea that unites the think-tankers of both right and left.
In everyday reality, though, there is the small matter of funding it at a level which is genuinely liveable on, enough for all the basics of modern life, without levying eye-wateringly high taxation on everyone else. Perhaps someone, somewhere has done the maths which squares this circle. But, until then…
Principles and slogans are the easy bit in politics, as ideologues across the spectrum continually prove. Implementation, the boring bit, is much, much harder. Mario Cuomo was right: "You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose." Dull. But right.
What a Tory cabinet minister said to me tonight: "I don't know why you Lib Dems aren't doing better"
by Stephen Tall on April 26, 2016
I don't think this counts as name-dropping because I'm not going to say who it was. But, anyway, I was chatting to a Tory cabinet minister tonight, as you do, who was genuinely curious to know why the Lib Dems aren't doing better in the polls.
"I mean, this government is giving you loads of free hits. And Labour's so hard-left there's no-one else around to be the voice of sensible opposition," they said.
I defended my party. After all, we were ignored enough by the media when we were supported by 1-in-4 voters and had dozens of MPs. Life's a lot tougher now with just eight (MPs, that is, not voters: things aren't quite that bad).
Taking a sensible position on mainstream issues gets you ignored — it's our out-rider policies, like Norman Lamb's attempts to get cannabis legalised and Tim Farron's calls for the UK to take in 3,000 child refugees from Europe, which attract what little publicity the Lib Dems still get. Worthy, important stuff. But not the bread-and-butter economy and public services issues which will decide how folk vote in 2020.
My 'senior Tory source' said they wouldn't name the issues on which their party was vulnerable… before mentioning schools and the Conservatives' daft plans for 'forced academisation' and abolishing parent-governors. "Champion parents," they advised, "stick up for local, democratic accountability."
To his credit, Tim Farron has spoken out against the Conservatives' plans. But — as I've pointed out before, and will continue to point out — education didn't make it onto the list of the party's top seven priorities. Our education spokesman John Pugh's contribution, Hard lessons from coalition, is more notable for its discursiveness than its solutions.
In any case, this isn't just about my beef with the party sidelining what, for me, is the key, liberal issue: education. It's bigger than that. My nameless Tory cabinet minister is right: given the gaping hole in the centre of British politics, we should be doing much better.
I think it's too easy to pin the blame on the leader. Tim has probably the most thankless task in British politics right now. He's set about it with his usual brand of energy and enthusiasm. It's not cut through yet, but it's still early days.
Inevitably, and largely understandably after last May's trauma, the party has been inward-looking this past year (for example, the internal row over all-women short-lists). More importantly, we have felt keenly the lack of big-hitting talent at the top of the party, with most of our defeated MPs focusing on re-building their careers beyond politics. Add to that the loss of policy advisers and key party staff, and it's not surprising if the Lib Dems appear a shadow of our former selves. We are.
If you were hopeful that I would finish with some gleaming insights, a prescription for headline-grabbing liberal initiatives that will give the Lib Dem fightback mainstream currency, I'm sorry to disappoint. This was never going to be easy. As far as I can see, there's no alternative to hard grind, starting in local elections this May, clawing our way back.
Which is what I (more or less) told this Tory cabinet minister. For the record, (S)he Who Will Not Be Named wasn't impressed and said we should hire them as a consultant. I said I'd rather have Lynton Crosby, but knew we couldn't afford him.

Victoria Wood RIP – aka, why she was my Bowie
by Stephen Tall on April 20, 2016
Was Victoria Wood my Bowie? I guess in some ways she was. Bear with me on this.
After all, I was about 15 when the BBC repeated her breakthrough series, As Seen On TV. And I loved it. Still do. Acorn Antiques with Julie Walters' Mrs Overall and Celia Imrie's Miss Babs, Patricia Routledge's self-righteous Kitty, Susie Blake's superior continuity announcer, Duncan Preston as token male. Her songs, her stand-up, her sketches. They made their impression on me. Most of the jokes I got; some I didn't (usually to do with ladies' things) so I made sure I found out so I could.
And like all my generation, I remember her big gig, An Audience With, probably the sharpest, funniest 50 minutes ITV has ever knowingly broadcast. She played the old favourites, including the Ballad of Barry and Freda with its immortal line, "Beat me on the bottom with a Woman's Weekly". The camera cut-away to Emma Freud rupturing with laughter, triggering a teenage crush which has never faded (though I've always tried to be happy, actually for Richard Curtis).
When I got my first paid job (waitering), the biggest joy I got was being able to buy my own ticket to go and see her perform at the Oxford Apollo. I didn't know anyone else who'd be up for going so I went alone. I sat next to an old-ish bloke who left before the second half: it was the set which included some earthy language not to his taste. I even bought a programme, probably still have it somewhere — I recall its dedication to her then husband, Geoffrey Durham: "I could have done it without him. But it would have been crap." That was her.
It sealed the deal. I watched all her live shows, bought the videotapes, later upgraded to the DVDs. Even Dinnerladies (which, truthfully, wasn't quite as funny as I wanted it to be; though that didn't stop my tearing-up at its final episode).
Her Christmas specials remained my highlight — All The Trimmings showcased her at her very best: the spoof of Brief Encounter, the Anne Widdecombe ear-worm, even a cameo by my other teenage comedy fave, Bob Monkhouse. Throughout today, I've been recalling half-forgotten lines ("Have you met my friend, Kim-ber-ley?", "I've given gallons of blood and I can't stomach whelks, so that's me for you", "Wendy comes to us from the Geneva school of sterilised blackhead-popping"), admiring again her deft, light touch — ridiculing, but with affection never contempt.
Her later departure into drama I admired and respected (Housewife 49), though it wasn't what first inspired me. Perhaps, like Bowie, her best was behind her. We'll never know now. For me, she wasn't just the best female comedian I've seen: she was the best comedian. A writer, a stand-up, an actor, a musician. Slapstick, one-liners, pathos, satire. She could do it all. But, above all, there was always warmth. You didn't just laugh: you smiled.

Do you know the difference between unequal pay and the gender pay gap?
by Stephen Tall on March 22, 2016
I have written before about how the debate on the gender pay gap irritates me.
It is lazily reported in the media as if the whole problem is down to evil companies flouting the 45 year-old equal pay act and refusing to pay women the same as they pay men for equivalent work. Now, I'm not about to deny that doesn't ever happen, doubtless it does; but it's increasingly rare and has little or nothing to do with the continuing gender pay gap, a much more ingrained problem which we are still nowhere near solving.
The graphic above is nicked from an excellent new report, 'Gender Pay Gap', published today by the Women and Equalities select committee.
It succinctly summarises the main issues which explain why women, particularly those over the age of 40, earn far less than men:
The key issues of pay differentials are: the part-time pay penalty; women's disproportionate responsibility for childcare and other forms of unpaid caring; and the concentration of women in highly feminised, low paid sectors like care, retail and cleaning.
It also highlights that this is not just a 'wmmin's issue', but one of vital importance to our economy:
There is strong evidence of the economic and productivity benefits of tackling the gender pay gap. The best organisations recognise this and are taking steps to offer flexible working and improve job design to attract and retain talent. However, the productivity case for reducing the gender pay gap has not been made strongly enough to all employers across the UK. The Government, business, trade bodies, unions and public sector organisations must work to move the discussion about the gender pay gap beyond one of equality, to one of economic necessity.
Its recommendations are sensible, but also far-reaching and bound to be controversial (especially with men, for whom the current system operates very nicely, thank you):
There is clear evidence flexible working benefits the UK economy and individual employers. However, a culture of presenteeism and a lack of creative thinking about job design are hampering progress towards flexibility as the norm. Too few employers are considering the benefits of offering jobs as open to flexible working. … All jobs should be available to work flexibly unless an employer can demonstrate an immediate and continuing business case against doing so. …
The evidence is clear that caring responsibilities are a significant barrier to women's pay and progression prospects. As long as women continue to take disproportionate responsibility for the care of children and other family members, the gender pay gap will persist. More equal sharing of childcare responsibilities can help to reduce the gender pay gap by facilitating women's return to the labour market and changing perceptions of men and women as being equally likely to take on caring responsibilities. … If Government is to achieve its objective of reducing the gender pay gap it needs a more effective policy on shared parental leave (SPL). Current weaknesses can be addressed by three months paid paternal leave for second parents. This can only be taken when the mother returns to work and would be additional to current parental leave benefits.
Many women who have left the labour market due to caring responsibilities, or for other reasons, will need to return to paid employment. This may be because of pension shortfalls or changes in circumstances like divorce. Others will choose to return to work. In both cases, the skills and experience of this group of women can help improve UK productivity. The Government should therefore invest in supporting their smooth return to the labour market as a matter of urgency. … The first task of the Government's new ministerial group on the gender pay gap should be to create a National Pathways into Work scheme for harnessing the skills and experience of women over 40. This scheme would give women a clear entry point into a support system offering careers guidance; retraining where necessary; and information on local skills shortages and job opportunities. …
Women over 40 are concentrated within highly feminised, low paid sectors. Their low pay and lack of progression play a significant part in the gender pay gap. There must be more focus and investment aimed at these low paid employees if the goal of reducing the gender pay gap is to be achieved. … The Department for Business and Skills should develop industrial strategies for low paid highly feminised sectors, beginning with the care sector. This would bring together policies on training and skills; increasing productivity; the use of technology and innovation; regulation; and the role of LEPs. …
If gender pay gap reporting is to have any impact it must help employers understand why pay gaps exist and lead to action to address these problems. It must be seen as the beginning of a process rather than the culmination of a tick box exercise. … We also suggest that the Government should produce a strategy for ensuring employers use gender pay gap reporting as a first step for taking action rather than an end in itself. This strategy should be published a year before the regulations commence.
It's an highly readable report, and a very important contribution to a debate which too often gets mired in dodgy stats designed to shock rather than to explain.
Hopefully future debates can be based on the real issues facing women – that caring responsibilities primarily fall on them; that we lack a culture of flexible working (bad for all parents, not just mums); and that we under-value highly feminised sectors – and the ways in which we can tackle them. Not only because it's the right thing to do for women, but because it's also the right thing to do for the whole of the economy.

London-based Javelin Capital has launched its first hedge fund, a global long-short vehicle.
The Capital Global Equity Strategies Fund, which was seeded with US$31 million, is being managed by an investment team of experienced portfolio managers led by Victor Pina, chief investment officer of the firm.
"The investment style will focus on what works, where and when. Broadly speaking, in sectors and regions that tend to revert to the mean, such as developed Europe, the systematic strategy will deliver the best results," said Pena. "In other regions that include selected emerging markets, market movements are highly volatile. To capture the upside opportunity whilst avoiding the pitfalls of these markets, we will look to apply our tactical strategies. Sectors and regions are constantly evolving as dynamics shift, and it is here that we believe thorough screening and in-depth research allow us to anticipate changes, and thus we will deploy our fundamental strategy here."
Gerry Aherne, chief executive of Javelin, added, "The launch of the Javelin Capital Global Equity Strategies Fund sees the first of our funds being offered to the institutional market. This follows months of rigorous preparation by our highly experienced fund managers to ensure we are offering investors an attractive and superior investment vehicle."
The fund charges 1.5% for management and 20% for performance. The minimum investment is €250,000.

SanDisk announces new SSD products and new distribution channel
Jan 10, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- SanDisk Corporation, a provider of flash memory storage solutions, has announced two new SSD products - the SanDisk Ultra Plus SSD for the retail channel and the SanDisk X110 SSD for OEM customers, and a new distribution channel, SanDisk for Business.
The SanDisk Ultra Plus SSD is ideal for consumers who want to boost their notebook or desktop computer's boot, shutdown, data-transfer and application launch times. The low latency of the SATA 3.0 drive allows it to respond, even with a heavy workload, and its high read speed is ideal for read-intensive applications such as multimedia consumption, the company said.
The drive delivers up to 530MB/sec sequential read and up to 445MB/sec sequential write speeds, offering a responsive computing experience.
