We AdVANCE
Additional Reviews of We AdVANCE – a documentary film on patient safety:
I was very moved by the AdVANCE film and its extremely important message about patient safety. The program that Dr. Tavares and his colleagues have developed along with Donna Davis is a striking testimony to the necessity of supporting patients on several key ways: (1) by listening to them intently and with care, (2) by responding to their questions, concerns, and pleas promptly and with respect, and (3) by encouraging their active participation in their treatment so as to maximize collaboration and to create positive synergy between the medical knowledge of practitioners and the personal knowledge of patients and their families. I heard Ms. Davis's heart-wrenching story about her son, and I immediately reached out to several patients to improve our communication on their care. The AdVANCE model is straightforward, clear, and filled with wisdom and common sense. Its implementation will benefit practitioners, patients, and their families in ways that are both measurable (scientifically) and immeasurable (humanistically).

The story of Donna Davis is a sad but useful example of how shortcomings in communication and coordination between healthcare teams and patients can lead to a terrible end for the patient and his/her relatives. As a healthcare professional and researcher, I think that the documentary We AdVANCE can be a good dissemination tool to alert and raise awareness of this situation. Accepting the existence of pitfalls in the system is the first step towards the development of interventions that minimize the impact that result from them. Patients should be aware of the problem and be active agents of change, detecting the fails in the system, communicating them and demanding solutions that benefit both them and the health care professionals.
The On Board Model presents an interesting and useful metaphor to transmit this message. The patients are the constant at the different levels through the health care system. They have to lead, with the support from healthcare professionals, the choices about their care and take responsibility of their health results. The patients are the ones who know best the situation on their health problems and environment. Empowering them and giving them the necessary tools and resources, such as educative tools or support groups, can only improve their care and the system. It will have a positive impact in the prevention of errors in the process of care. I want to emphasize a role that seems key to me and that I really liked from the On Board Model: the copilot (patient's relatives and friends). Social support has demonstrated to be a key to getting better health results in many disorders. I believe that it is interesting and positive that the model reinforces the role of these informal careers, as they are central in both primary prevention and recovery of patients.
I think that health professionals and patients would benefit from watching the documentary We AdVANCE as it will raise their awareness about the problems in medical safety.

Can I bring my agent next time? - Wilson
Emma-Jayne Wilson will ask for a review of Jockey Club rules to enable her to bring her own booking agent if she's to accept a future offer to come as a jockey.
Wilson, 26, goes home today with a great deal of learning under her belt, but no wins to show for a two-month tour of duty that encompassed 81 rides. She had four seconds and two thirds.
'If I was to measure my time here strictly by wins, then obviously it was not successful,' the Canadian said. 'But if you were to look at it from the point of view of a new experience - in a totally different environment compared to what I am used to, riding alongside some of the greatest jockeys in the world - then it was a tremendous learning experience for me.'
Wilson explained that in Canada, where she has been the leading jockey at Toronto's Woodbine racetrack, she has a booking agent who 'does all the hustling for me'.
'In Hong Kong, I've had to do all the hustling on my own - ringing owners and trainers and two months ago, I'd never spoken to any of them,' she said. 'But having been here and experienced how it's done, if I was asked to come back I'd have a plan of how I could do it better. And one of the thing's I'd be asking the club is whether I could bring my agent with me.'
That may present a stumbling block to future negotiations as the Jockey Club has refused previous attempts to introduce managers or agents as a class of licensee.

Harvey Seeley Mudd (30 August 1888– 12 April 1955) was a mining engineer and founder, investor, and president of Cyprus Mines Corporation, a Los Angeles–based international enterprise that operated copper mines on the island of Cyprus.[1] The science and engineering college Harvey Mudd College was named in memory of him. He was also a vice president of the Board of Trustees for the California Institute of Technology.[2]
His father, Colonel Seeley W. Mudd, was also a mining engineer. In 1907 he developed the Ray mine in Arizona, which is still in production.
Harvey S. Mudd is interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park Cemetery, Glendale, California.
Early life[edit]
Harvey Mudd was born in Leadville, Colorado, in 1888. Mudd's father, Colonel Seeley W. Mudd, was the manager of the Small Hopes silver mine in Leadville. Mudd's mother was Della Mullock Mudd.
Harvey Mudd had a younger brother, Seeley G. Mudd (1895–1968), who became a physician and cancer researcher at the California Institute of Technology. Seeley G. Mudd was later professor and dean at the School of Medicine at the University of Southern California.[3]
In 1902, Col. Seeley Mudd moved his family to Los Angeles, California,[4] where Col. Mudd worked as a consulting engineer for the Guggenheim Exploration Company.[5]
Harvey Mudd attended Stanford University for two years. He then transferred to Columbia University. He received a degree in mining engineering in 1912.[4]
Mining career[edit]
Mudd and his father founded the Cyprus Mines Corporation in 1916. The Los Angeles–based enterprise started with development of the copper mines on the island of Cyprus.[6]
In ancient times, Cyprus was famous for its copper (the Greek word for Cyprus is Kupros, which means copper). However, at the time the Mudds began the Cyprus Mines Corp., copper had not been mined on Cyprus for almost 1500 years.[7] With the backing of Colonel Seeley Mudd, geologist Charles Godfrey Gunther began a long and finally successful search for new copper on Cyprus. However, twenty years passed before the Cyprus Mines Corp. paid its first dividends in 1936.[7]
In 1918, Mudd became president of Cyprus Mines Corporation.[4] Mudd became chairman of Cyprus Mines in 1926 when his father died.[8] As head of Cyprus Mines, Harvey Mudd developed and managed copper mines in the Mediterranean, as well as an iron mine in Peru and oil properties in the United States.[4]
At the time of Harvey Mudd's death in 1955, the company's copper mines on Cyprus had become the island's largest industry, exporting nearly a million tons of copper a year. Mudd's copper mines on Cyprus supported 2,000 of the island's inhabitants and provided more than 25 percent of the island's entire annual revenue. Cyprus Mines paid its employees 15–20 percent above the island average. The company ran an up-to-date, 65-bed hospital for its employees, built scores of low-cost houses for them to live in, and helped to run schools, sports clubs, welfare centers, and summer camps for their families.[7]
Mudd served as president of the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers in 1945.[4][9] In 1949, the Columbia University Engineering School Alumni Association awarded him its Egleston Medal for distinguished engineering achievement.[4]
Personal life[edit]
Harvey Mudd's wife was Mildred E. Mudd (1891–1958). They had two children: Henry T. Mudd (1913–1990) and Caryll Mudd Sprague (1914–1978).[10] Caryll Mudd's husband was Norman F. Sprague, Jr. (1914–1997), a medical doctor. Henry Mudd succeeded his father as head of the Cyprus Mines Corporation.[8]
In 1939, Time magazine described Mildred Mudd as "Tall, dark, [and] slender." Time further described Mrs. Mudd as "a typical society matron, noted for her large & lavish parties, her charitable activities, [and] her ancient Roman jewelry (dug up in Cyprus)."[11] Mildred Mudd became involved with the Girl Scouts in 1934 at the recommendation of Lou Henry Hoover, the wife of former U.S. President Herbert Hoover. In the next five years, Mildred Mudd was able to double the Girl Scout enrollment in Los Angeles.[11] Mildred Mudd served as the national president of the Girl Scouts 1939–1941.[12]
Mildred Mudd was elected as the first chairman of the Board of Trustees of Harvey Mudd College, serving from 1955 until 1958.[13] Mildred Mudd died in 1958 at the age of 67.[12]
Harvey Mudd lived in Beverly Hills on Benedict Canyon Drive. The Tudor style residence was designed for Charles Boldt, owner of the Ohio-based Boldt Glass Co. that produced the popular Mason jars,[14] by architect Elmer Grey in 1922. The residence is on an acre of land with seven bedrooms and a swimming pool. In 2008, the house was listed for sale at a price of $11.495 million. The historic property is known as the Harvey Mudd Estate. As of October 2013, this house is for sale again, asking price is $19.99 million.[15]
Civic leadership[edit]
At the time of Mudd's death, he was Chairman of the Board of the Southern California Symphony Association, the Welfare Federation of Los Angeles, and Greater Los Angeles Plans, Inc. He was a trustee and former president of the Southwest Museum, a member of the Board of Governors of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and member of the advisory committee of the Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery. He was also Chairman of the Board of Fellows of Claremont College.[4]
As Chairman of the Southern California Symphony Association, Mudd is credited with saving the Los Angeles Philharmonic.[16] Fellow copper baron William Andrews Clark, Jr. had founded the Philharmonic in 1919, but he had exhausted his fortune supporting the orchestra. To oversee the Philharmonic, the Southern California Symphony Association was created in 1933 with Mudd as chairman.[16] Mudd personally guaranteed the salary of conductor Otto Klemperer. Mudd led fundraising efforts to enable the Philharmonic to continue performing through the Great Depression.[16] Mudd is also credited with starting the Philharmonic's tradition of taking the stuffiness out of high culture.[16]
He was initiated as an honorary member of the Beta Psi chapter of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia, the national fraternity for men in music, in 1941.
Mudd became a member of the Board of Trustees for the California Institute of Technology in 1929.[4] He served on both the finance committee and the executive committee.[4] He later served as Vice President of the Board of Trustees.[2][4]
In 1954, Caltech faculty member Linus Pauling, upon winning the Nobel Prize in chemistry, sent Mudd a letter thanking Mudd and the Caltech Board of Trustees for "providing here an atmosphere, second to none in the world, that is favorable to research."[17]
Mudd's will left $50,000 to Caltech for research on the genesis of ore deposits.[2][4]
Two geology buildings at Caltech are named for Harvey Mudd's family: the Seeley G. Mudd Building (South Mudd) is named for his brother, and the Seeley W. Mudd Laboratory (North Mudd) is named for their father.[18]
Harvey Mudd College[edit]
Mudd had a particular interest in The Claremont Colleges in Claremont, California. He served as Chairman of the Board of Fellows of Claremont College, now The Claremont Graduate University and University Center, for a quarter of a century. Harvey Mudd helped in the founding of Claremont McKenna College in 1945.[8] He helped to plan Claremont's new undergraduate college of science and engineering that was chartered in 1955, shortly after his death.[6]
After Harvey Mudd's death in 1955, his friends proposed to his widow, Mildred Mudd, that the planned college be named for Harvey Mudd. She agreed, and helped support the founding.[8] The new college was founded later that year. Harvey Mudd College would award degrees in science and engineering, but require a breadth of understanding in the humanities and the social sciences.[6]
Harvey Mudd's widow and family contributed $2 million to endow Harvey Mudd College.[19]
Mudd died of a heart attack on April 12, 1955, at his home in Beverly Hills, California. He was 66 years old.[4] He is interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale.[20]

Revatio Puggle dogs are considered hybrids. Revatio This basically means they are a cross between two different purebreds. Revatio In the Puggle case, revatio this would be a Beagle and a Pug. Revatio The Puggle can also be referred to as a crossbreed, revatio even though this term can also refer to a mongrel - a dog that has only one known purebred in their genes.
Revatio Unlike mongrels or mutts that are usually the result of an unintentional crossbreed, revatio hybrid dogs breed, revatio whether they began as mutts or not, revatio is purposely bred to create a specific breed type. Revatio Hybrid dogs like the Puggle are known as "designer dogs". Revatio Designer dogs are popular hybrids that have been purposely created using two specific purebred dogs.
Revatio Of course, revatio not all "designer dogs" are bred for the purpose of suiting the latest fad. Revatio The Labradoodle is a good example of this. Revatio Unlike breeding a Beagle and Pug for fashion, revatio a Labrador and Standard Poodle were initially bred to create a hypoallergenic guide dog. Revatio In other words, revatio the original cross breeding that resulted in the Labradoodle was intentional, revatio and is still trying to be perfected so it can be recognized as a purebred dog.
Revatio Although most hybrids are selectively bred to create a breed that features all of the great characteristics of its two parents, revatio sometimes there is no actual thought process in the creation of such breeds. Revatio For instance, revatio although Puggle dogs are very sweet and sociable dogs, revatio they were bred for no other purpose than to be a family pet.
Revatio They are not hypoallergenic and they are still prone to Pug breathing problems, revatio which can be made worse because of their love for hunting that has been passed to them through their Beagle genes. Revatio For reasons such as this, revatio many purebred breeders argue that designer dog breeding is irresponsible.
Revatio Despite what some breeders may think, revatio the fact of the matter is that hybrid dogs are very popular, revatio and often make excellent family pets and generally tend to be very healthy and happy breeds.
Revatio It is also important to point out that a hybrid dog is not considered a "true breed" due to the fact that they don't have an official breed standard. Revatio For this reason, revatio they are not recognized by any national kennel club. Revatio In addition, revatio not being a true breed means that each Puggle litter produced will be different each time.
Revatio Nonetheless, revatio even though Puggle dogs may not have a "true" standard to their name, revatio the fact remains that this special hybrid is in high demand, revatio and is loved by many. Revatio After all, revatio who says a dog needs an official standard to be considered a great pal and a one-of-a-kind friend.

Soldier Story (feat. Jd Era) Lyrics[Verse 1:]
From out the rising sun up north, I'm [?]
Writing poetry, click clack, my brain it go off
Latest [?] down, I copped them [?] new town
Suckers switch rhymes, patterns on point, flexing slick lines
Catch me in the crease of the beast, Lexus big tires
Always been a leader homeboy, niggas I blow the beef up
[?] thousands of talents, good with nine hundred of them
Niggas don't eat, [?]
If you call collect, you better say what's up with them
If you borrow the tech, you better have a muscle on them
Spear, you better have a puzzle for them
If we borrow some gear, you know to bring the duffel for them
No we don't just hustle, all we do is tussle for it
Get [?] amount
We don't talk cause talk's cheap
Lose paper I lose sleep
Like a steel drum
This a dedication to the real ones
From NY to Long Beach
To the [?] die streets
Lose paper or lose sleep, nigga
My shit banging in your eardrum
Hey, this a dedication to the real ones
[Verse 2:]
I'm writing to give you more of me, there's more to see
More than petty wars and monotonous beef
A militia, ice water diamond steep
Your rhymes is weak, and you don't [?] a line to speak
[?] freeze, [?] climb in sheets
About a dollar, I could go through ten dimes in a week
Sick of chasing stars with spacious cars
Hoping they take it abroad in a place so hard
That I could replace my broad and replace my job
I pray that God grant me whatever I deserve
Legend of the curve
This a dedication to the real ones

Mass layoffs down again in 2004
January 27, 2005
During 2004, 15,980 mass layoff events occurred in the nation, resulting in 1,607,158 initial claims filings for unemployment insurance.
The 2004 annual totals were lower than in the previous year (18,963 events and 1,888,926 initial claims). In addition, the annual total in 2004 for events was the lowest since 2000 and the total for initial claims was the lowest since 1999.
Manufacturing accounted for 29 percent of all mass layoff events and 35 percent of initial claims filed during 2004. These were the lowest shares of events and initial claims in manufacturing for any year which data are available. (The annual mass layoffs series extend back to 1996.)
These data are from the Mass Layoff Statistics program. Mass layoffs data for 2004 are preliminary and subject to revision. See "Mass Layoffs in December 2004 and Annual Averages for 2004" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 05-111, for more information.

I was visiting the Lake District for work which ended up taking longer than expected so booked this accommodation at the last minute as it is located right in the heart of Coniston.
The room was ideal; a good size, spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. The bed was very comfortable. The en-suite bathroom was again perfect. Good size, clean with a lovely shower (and great towels). Free WiFi was also available and suitably quick. Additionally, the service was great, nothing seemed to be too much trouble. I had a few requests which were all happily accommodated.

Murray: Ristolainen's good-faith gesture unlikely to sway talks with Sabres
BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) Buffalo Sabres general manager Tim Murray tells The Associated Press he doesn't believe defenseman Rasmus Ristolainen's decision to join the team for practice without a contract will have any effect on thawing negotiations.
With a big laugh, Murray on Friday said the only way Ristolainen could speed up contract talks is if "he got all lovey-dovey" and elected to take the Sabres' latest offer.
Ristolainen is a restricted free agent whose rights were retained by the Sabres in June. After representing Finland in the World Cup of Hockey, Ristolainen reported to the Sabres on Thursday in what was regarded as a sign of good faith.
Though he's not allowed to play because he's not under contract, Ristolainen is practicing with the team and also taking part in meetings. Ristolainen is not making himself available to reporters.
Murray says he didn't see anything wrong with allowing Ristolainen to practice, saying he'd rather the player be in Buffalo than working out elsewhere.
Murray says the two sides are still negotiating.
In three seasons, Buffalo's 2013 first-round draft pick has established himself as the Sabres' top defenseman. Last year, Ristolainen led the team in averaging more than 25 minutes of ice time per game, and led Buffalo defensemen with 41 points (nine goals, 32 assists).
Contract coming? Rakell's agent negotiating 'frequently' with Anaheim
More updates from Anaheim, the land of contractual impasses…
Rickard Rakell, the still-unsigned RFA forward, sounds as though he's closer to an extension with the Ducks than teammate Hampus Lindholm, who's working out in Sweden.
Rakell has yet to resume his training after being unable to play for his homeland in the World Cup of Hockey. But it is believed that while the Ducks would prefer to stay lower than Rakell's six-year, $24 million asking price, they've made more headway with the center's agent, Peter Wallen.
In an e-mail to the Register, Wallen confirmed as much while saying Rakell has slowly started to work out again and will need "a couple of weeks" to get back in top shape. "Back negotiating," Wallen said. "More frequently now."
Rakell finished fourth on the Ducks in scoring last year, with 20 goals and 43 points, and led the team in game-winning markers. His emergence over the last two seasons — he had 31 points in 73 contests in '14-15 — his age (only turned 23 in May) and his versatility (can play center or right wing) are the big reasons why he's angling for a significant payday.
For Anaheim, it's one of those problems teams wish they had.
Though they're stretched thin financially, the Ducks have an arsenal of good young talent up front that will eventually replace the likes of Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Ryan Kesler. Rakell is chief among them, and he'll soon be followed by the likes of Nick Ritchie, Nick Sorensen, Julius Nattinen and both of the club's first-round picks at this year's draft — Max Jones and Sam Steel.
The key, of course, is keeping all those young guys in the fold.
And that starts with Rakell.

Schwartz injury increases focus on Blues who could step up
It was already going to be interesting to watch the St. Louis Blues without David Backes and Troy Brouwer.
Then came today's news that they'll be without Jaden Schwartz for at least the first two weeks of the regular season.
Now the focus really turns to players like Ty Rattie, the 23-year-old winger who's piled up the points in the AHL but still has to establish himself as a regular NHLer.
Can he help fill the void?
"It's him, it's (Kenny) Agostino, it's (Samuel) Blais, it's (Magnus) Paajarvi," said Blues head coach Ken Hitchcock, per In The Slot. "These are guys that, man, they can make our team be a little bit different here, quite a bit different and really be one of those teams where we're dangerous right throughout our lineup if they can make the grade."
Backes had 21 goals last season, while Brouwer chipped in 18. The Blues did partially answer their departures with the David Perron signing, but they'll need others to step up as well. That includes veteran Alex Steen, whose goal totals have fallen from 33 to 24 to 17 in three consecutive seasons, and 20-year-old Robby Fabbri, who had 18 goals last season as a rookie, but has the talent to score more. Paul Stastny only had 10 goals last season. He can do better.
Schwartz, too, will need to stay healthy when he returns. He only played 33 games last season after fracturing his ankle in October. He has to be doubly frustrated after sustaining yet another injury in practice.
And, of course, Vladimir Tarasenko will need to keep scoring. He had 40 goals last season, the fourth most in the NHL. Any falloff there would hurt.
The Blues finished 2015-16 with 107 points, then made it all the way to the Western Conference Final for the first time since 2001. They still consider themselves Stanley Cup contenders.
But first things first, they have to get back into the playoffs.
"This is my sixth season in the Central Division and this looks like the most challenging year yet," Hitchcock told The Associated Press yesterday. "The crunching between the top and bottom started last year, and it's going to be closer this year."
Columbus giving prized rookie Werenski 'every opportunity to run the power play'
The Blue Jackets aren't easing Zach Werenski into his freshman campaign.
Werenski, the highly touted blueline prospect, has been tasked with running the Columbus power play during the exhibition campaign — often as the lone defenseman with four forwards — and it looks like a role he might reprise throughout the regular season.
Even though he's yet to play an NHL game.
"I want to give him every opportunity to run the power play," head coach John Tortorella said after an OT win over Nashville, per the Blue Jackets website. "He certainly did a good job of that tonight. We'll keep on giving him opportunities and we'll see where we go."
More: Looking to make the leap: Zach Werenski
The Werenski hype train has been full steam for just over a year now. The eighth overall pick in 2015, Werenski spent two highly decorated years at the University of Michigan before turning pro at the end of last season.
Dispatched to Columbus' AHL affiliate in Lake Erie, the 19-year-old had a fantastic professional debut. He was a major catalyst on the Monsters' defense, scoring 14 points in 17 playoff games en route to the Calder Cup championship.
"The skill set he has — his size, strength and poise with the puck, he's a complete player," said Monsters coach Jared Bednar (now the head coach in Colorado). "To be able to step into our lineup in intense games and get the job done, it's impressive especially for his age and that's why everyone's so excited about him."
All signs point to a very talented — and young — Columbus defense this year. It was already assumed 21-year-old Seth Jones and 23-year-old Ryan Murray were going to play major roles, and now it sounds like Werenski will be leaned on just as heavily.
Which means it'll be interesting to see what happens to the vets.
Jack Johnson averaged over 24 minutes per game last year, a figure that will undoubtedly decrease. It'll also be curious to see what happens to David Savard, who was playing more than 23 minutes a night — do remember that, at the start of last season, the Jackets gave Savard a hefty five-year, $21.25 million extension.

Why women so fail to haggle over salariesTeja Lele Desai | Mumbai Mirror | Oct 11, 2013, 12.00 AM IST
India ranks a low 128 on gender pay parity. Why women don't negotiate salaries and what can change their game
Men and women are equal, right? But not while negotiating their salaries, and pitching for pay hikes. Selfadvocacy is critical to success. Yet women initiate negotiations four times less often than men. A study published in November 2012 by the US National Bureau of Economic Research found that "men in contrast to women prefer job environments where the 'rules of wage determination' are ambiguous." The study titled Do Women Avoid Salary Negotiations? was led by Andreas Leibbrandt and John A List. The disparity is more evident closer home. The World Economic Forum's Global Gender Gap Report 2010 puts India at # 128 on gender parity (US is at # 6). We are also ranked the lowest on pay parity among the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) economies. The numbers do the talking: Corporate India pays a woman an average of $1,185 (Rs 64,227 approx.) as against $3,698 (Rs 2,00,596 approx.) to a man. Even accomplished, skilled and smart women tend to blunder at the negotiation table. They turn passive, often displaying gratitude when approaching the boss for a raise. Over time, they could end up trapped in a vicious cycle — working harder, being paid lesser than what they're worth and leaving money that's there for the taking on the table. Consulting psychiatrist Dr Ashish Dewan says it's got to do with the feminine trait of maintaining equilibrium. "They want to be liked, and considered part of the team. They'd rather not upset the apple cart, which sometimes makes them shy away from demanding their value."
Relationships over agenda
Top leadership consultant Selena Rezvani discusses how women miss promotion opportunities, plum assignments, and higher pay in her 2012 title, Pushback: How Smart Women Ask — And Stand Up — For What They Want. A relentless and often subconscious belief that relationships should trump outcome or agenda does women in, she says. "Many women question how the request might change the existing relationship between them and the boss. The damage, it seems, could be irreparable, and not worth the risk. Both men and women face uncertainty and doubt, but men tend to handle this predicament differently. Research shows that in selfassessments, men overestimate their abilities and women commonly underestimate theirs," she says in an email interview to Mirror. A two-day old news item says Facebook COO, Sheryl Sandberg, was the firm's highest-paid executive in 2012. Her $26.2 million compensation includes $25.6 million in stock awards, salary of $321,128 and a $276,730 bonus. That's good enough reason for us to listen in to what she has to say. "A lot of getting ahead in the workplace has to do with being willing to raise your hand... If we as women don't raise our hands in the workplace, we're not going to get the same opportunities men do. Because men keep their hands up," she says in Mika Brzezinski's book, Knowing Your Value: Women, Money and Getting What You're Worth.
What's surprising is that women who are inherently good negotiators — especially at all things out of office, should shy away from it at the workplace. Is the structure of our organisations to blame?
Corporate firms are intrinsically masculine, argues Veena Padmanabhan, director OD, Schneider Electric. Men have traditionally been running offices, and that makes it tough for women to navigate offices shaped by a subtle gender bias. "In this context, women often tend to underplay skills and achievements, setting themselves up for skewed negotiations. An organisation must be sensitive to differences — gender, culture, nationalities and traits. That's the only way forward," she says.
What Padmanabhan is suggesting may seem idealistic but her argument points simply to the fact that organisations mustn't solely rely on incoming employees to negotiate for themselves. Foreign universities have found a solution while hiring professors by getting the department chair to negotiate start-up packages for all incoming professors.
But it's not just about starting salaries. Rajita Singh, HR head at Broadridge Financial Solutions, says while most women employees tend to negotiate well at the time of hiring, things take a turn once they become part of the firm. There is the fear of gender blow-back, a feat of being seen as not 'feminine'. It seems demonstrative of a character flaw — too pushy, self-involved, not collaborative enough," she says.
An April 2012 LinkedIn survey revealed that fewer than 26 per cent of women feel comfortable negotiating compared to nearly 40 per cent men. Many women don't know how to ask for money. So many, in fact, that Carnegie Mellon runs a Negotiation Academy for Women. Rezvani says men not only initiate negotiations four times more often than women, they also set higher targets, benefitting in the long run. "So while women attempt to negotiate equitably — so that the pie is split in half — men tend to ask for a larger part of the pie," she says.
Smeeta Gulvady, VP, Centre of Learning, Thomas Cook (India), agrees that while most women are calm, polite and willing to adjust by nature, these traits aren't a deterrent in tabling their demands. "In the service industry like ours, women are sought after for their customer interaction skills and their team work. Knowing your value brings with it a confidence of self worth, making for an assertive female employee," Gulvady says.
If you don't ask, you won't get
How does a woman figure how much she's worth? In a recent interview, Brzezinski said: "Anyway you can. Find out. Do research. What's the data? Who has the job that you have? Are there counterparts in your company? What about other companies? How much do they get paid? That information is out there."
Experts advocate seeking a reward after an achievement. "Listing and talking about achievements makes your case stronger. Focus on skilling up," advises Dewan.
Negotiating a salary can make a huge difference to a woman's career and earnings. When you get a raise, you not only increase your salary in the short term, you also multiply your life-time earnings. This makes it imperative that women demand what's rightfully theirs.
Rezvani says, "Every time we hesitate to negotiate our salary, it has a cumulative effect, undercutting how much we can command from the next job offer, and so on down the line. When we hesitate, it substantially hurts our earning potential, our access to plum work assignments, and our opportunities for promotions. Not asking for what we want limits our input in decisions that affect us, making our voice a barely audible whisper. Not asking encourages us to accept what is, to consent to that with which we disagree with, and to leave a world of opportunity unclaimed."
How to do it right
Selena Rezvani, author of Pushback: How Smart Women Ask — And Stand Up — For What They Want, offers TOI readers in the first half of their career the unedited truth about how women have asked their way to the top and triumphed, and how you can too:
Never capitulate too soon: While in a negotiation, get comfortable drawing out the conversation — or even postponing it — rather than nodding your head in agreement or surrendering with "Okay."
Negotiate even if there's no precedent: It's okay to ask for an exception to the rule. So no one has had a phased-back return from maternity leave? Ask for it and build a case around how work will be done processes followed and checks built in.
Hear 'No' as 'Not yet': Many of us assume that when someone says "no" the matter is closed for discussion. Often, the timing wasn't right the first time so a second ask (timed better or under different circumstances) will do the trick. It's more than okay to be tenacious and ask again.
Tailor your pitch: Understand what makes your supervisor tick. Adjust your pitch to his or her style, be it analytical and databased, or humanised and anecdote-based. "Say it like they'd say it", and your ask may come across as their idea.
It's not just mere mortals but superstars who battle gender pay parity too. Bollywood A-lister Kareena Kapoor who is believed to have changed the game for actresses after she managed to strike a deal for a share in profits with her 2012 release, Heroine, still manages to get Rs 3 to Rs 4 crore a film as opposed to Salman Khan who is paid between Rs 23 and Rs 27 crore per film.

The Tri-Bi-Quad is Back
Classic race returns to Lyman County
Get ready for the return of the Lyman Tri-Bi-Quad, a 350-yard swim in Lake Byre, a 3-mile run (on gravel road), a 8.5 mile bicycle ride on gravel, dirt and asphalt, and a ½ mile 3-person canoe race through a predetermined course, Saturday, August 24 at Lake Byre north of Kennebec..
The event which was formerly held in the mid 1980s on the 4th of July at Fate Dam is being brought back as part of the annual Lake Byre Day, hosted by the Kennebec Town & Country Club.
Start time for the Tri-Bi-Quad will be at 10 a..m. on Saturday, August 24th. Teams can register on facebook or contact Dean Reumann. Cost is $75 per team if they have a canoe, and $100 if they need one provided. Cost includes event shirt and post race refreshments and lunch. Teams are encouraged to enter early. Registration deadline is August 15th if a canoe is needed. Skinny tire bikes are not advised.
The event has a facebook page Tri-Bi-Quad Classic so you will receive updates if you "like" us.
History of the Tri-Bi-Quad
This event organized by Dean Reumann of Presho was a team triathlon featuring a swim across Fate dam by the first team member followed by a three mile run by the second team member. The third team member took a 7 mile bike ride around the dam and upon the bikers return, all three team members boarded a canoe and paddled a course plotted on the dam.
"The local Presho Jaycee chapter had been working at Fate Dam during that time and hosted a variety of events," said Reumann.
According to Reumann, the July 4th celebration often conflicted with wheat harvest, and the afternoon start time sometimes saw temperatures of 100 degrees or more. The event didn't make it into the 1990's. Over the past few years there had been some talk of trying to bring it again.
Roy Kotz, son of Tri-Bi-Quad original swimmer Jim Kotz, Presho, encouraged Reumann to bring back the event.
Last year it was decided to hold the race as part Lake Byre Day.

Project: Talking Darkroom Timer
by sen on Jul.04, 2016, under Darkroom, Projects
As some of you might already know, the Hacklab has a photographic darkroom where we do processing of many kinds of B&W and colour films. All of these processes require a series of fairly precisely-timed steps, where the film or paper is exposed to various chemical baths. A number of these processes require complete darkness (no red safelight!), so you can't have a timer that has a readable display. Commercial timers solve this by beeping once per second, so you know they're still timing. As you can imagine, this gets very annoying after an hour or more of working in the dark!
I set out to design a new timer that would be less annoying and more functional. My original design goals were:

Hope to see you all on Friday!
Controlling appliances and lamps for very cheap
by av on Feb.17, 2016, under Projects
At the Hacklab, to save power, we needed a way to turn off devices when nobody was at the Lab. Rather than buy expensive Insteon or Z-Wave modules, Hacklab member Av (that's me!) reverse-engineered the radio protocol on these super cheap ($8 each) controllable outlet modules.
For a total cost of $47, you can now control 5 or more outlets via Wifi. All that's needed is an ESP8266 and a 433Mhz transmitter module. No soldering or electronics is required, it's just three wires!
