Halaman 253 - For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
Halaman 140 - DURING the first year that Mr. Wordsworth and I were neighbours, our conversations turned frequently on the two cardinal points of poetry, the power of exciting the sympathy of the reader by a faithful adherence to the truth of nature, and the power of giving the interest of novelty by the modifying colours of imagination.
Halaman 62 - It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, And the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers...
Halaman 62 - Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
Halaman 80 - But the age of chivalry is gone! that of sophisters, economists and calculators has succeeded; and the glory of Europe is extinguished for ever! !Never, never more shall we behold that generous loyalty to rank and sex, that proud submission, that dignified obedience, that subordination of the heart which kept alive, even in servitude itself, the spirit of an exalted freedom.
Halaman 140 - In the one the incidents and agents were to be, in part at least, supernatural ; and the excellence aimed at was to consist in the interesting of the affections by the dramatic truth of such emotions as would naturally accompany such situations, supposing them real.
Halaman 90 - Tis the merry Nightingale That crowds, and hurries, and precipitates With fast thick warble his delicious notes, As he were fearful that an April night Would be too short for him to utter forth His love-chant, and disburthen his full soul Of all its music...
Halaman 66 - By quick instinctive motion, up I sprung, As thitherward endeavouring, and upright Stood on my feet: about me round I saw Hill, dale, and shady woods, and sunny plains, And liquid lapse of murmuring streams; by these Creatures that lived and moved, and walked or flew; Birds on the branches warbling; ~a.ll things smiled; With fragrance and with joy my heart o'erflowed.
Halaman 291 - ... feet. But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power ? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart ? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
Halaman 98 - What sighs have been wafted after that ship ! what prayers offered up at the deserted fireside of home ! How often has the mistress, the wife, the mother, pored over the daily news, to catch some casual intelligence of this rover of the deep ! How has expectation darkened into anxiety — anxiety into dread — and dread into despair ! Alas ! not one memento shall ever return for love to cherish. All that shall ever be known, is, that she sailed from her port, � and was never heard of more ! �...

Artisan Profile
Who are the Hmong? They are an Asian ethnic group from the mountain regions of China, Vietnam, Laos and Thailand. Originally from southern China, the Hmong gradually migrated south during the 18th century due to political unrest and to find more workable land. Today, many Hmong are located in the remote thick forests and mountains of the northern Thai regions and are well integrated into Thai society. They are rich in culture, family, and art and are distinctive in their fabric patterns and vibrant costumes. The Hmong tribal groups have expressed their faith, belief and way of life into each piece of fabric, making each piece come to life with an amazing history behind it!
While expanding your fashion collection globally you will be supporting the developing communities of the Hmong women of Thailand. We work closely with our artisan partners to ensure that all items are produced in ethical, fair labor, and child labor free work environments. We pride ourselves in our quality control, and work closely with our partners to ensure their goods meet the needs of customers worldwide. We believe that granting access to the global marketplace is one way to generate growth in their local communities as well as individual economic independence.

These raw and powerful poems have at their heart the charged, archetypal figure of the mother. Conflicted by the twin desires of self-destruction and self-preservation, this mother is both terrible and beautiful. This compassionate, nervy collection of poems shows a family in the aftermath of violence. James Allen Hall explores themes of loss, the intersection of grief and desire, and the ways in which history, art, and politics shape the self.
We meet the speaker's mother in many guises-she is the rogue Republic of Texas, the titular character of Rosemary's Baby, a nineteenth century artist's model, a fake entry in an encyclopedia, the lost queen of King Lear. With clarity, wit, and compassion, the speaker discovers the facets of his mother-her own abuse, her years of adultery, her struggle to remain independent-so that he may come to terms with his own sexuality.
By seeing his mother in these guises, the speaker understands identity as it develops along and is reclaimed from the most repressive of social margins. Hall's poems twine the autobiographical impulse with a deeper emotional, somewhat surreal, temperament.
This is a book as much about the way we tell our stories as it is about the stories we tell. Now You're the Enemy negotiates narrative in order to refashion the self-as a way to survive, to learn the redemptive power of love.

On 17 December 2012, the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority (the "FSA") ruled that a board member in a life insurance company (the "Financial Institution") did not fulfill the fit and proper requirements of the Danish Financial Business Act, Section 64(2), paragraphs 3 and 4, and therefore the person (the "Board Member") could not be approved as board member in the Financial Institution. The case has been presented in the Financial Council.
Summary of the Case
The Board Member has served on the board in the Financial Institution while at the same time serving on the board of a Fund (Hereafter the "Fund").
The Fund has had an aggregated engagement of significant volume in the Financial Institution. In connection with an inspection in the Financial Institution conducted in the spring of 2012, the Danish FSA noted an objective indication of impairment on the engagement with the Fund. Based on the notification, the Danish FSA ordered the Financial Institution to conduct impairment losses on the engagement.
The Board Member served on the board of the Fund which inflicted losses on the Financial Institution in the form of impairment losses on the engagement. At the same time, the Board Member served on the board in the Financial Institution and according the Danish FSA, the Board Member therefore violated the prohibition on members of management to inflict losses or risk of losses on the financial institution of which they served on the board.
The legal Basis
The Danish Financial Business Act, Section 64 contains a variety of fit and proper requirements to board members in financial institutions.
It is stated in the Danish Financial Business Act section 64 (2), paragraph 4, that a member of the Board of Directors in financial institutions cannot perform his duties as a board member if the person's conduct gives reason to believe that he will not be able to perform the task as board member in a responsible manner.
The assessment of whether the Danish Financial Business Act, Section 64 (2), paragraph 4, has been violated must be conducted based on an overall assessment of the person's conduct during the time that the person has served in the relevant position.
Further, it is stated in the Danish Financial Business Act Section 64 (2), paragraph 3, that a board member in a financial institution cannot perform the tasks as board member if the person concerned has inflicted or will inflicted losses or risk of losses on the financial institute due to his financial situation or via his participation in the running of a company.
The Danish FSA is competent to order a board member in a financial institution to resign from his position if the person according to the Danish Financial Business Act, Section 64 (2), cannot serve in the position, cf. The Danish Financial Business Act, Section 351 (2).
The Ruling
It was the Danish FSA's opinion that the Board Member in his function as a board member in the Fund has been involved in the management of the company whose activities have caused impairments of engagement and hence losses to the Financial Institution. According to the Danish FSA, this conflicted with the provisions in the Danish Financial Business Act Section 64 (2) paragraphs 3 and 4.
Based on the above, the Danish FSA found that the Board Member did not meet the fit and proper requirements which are required in order to be a part of the management of a financial institution.
Should you have any questions or wish further information on the above, please contact partner, David Moalem (email@example.com), junior associate Maria Thomsen (firstname.lastname@example.com ) or junior associate Ted Rosenbaum (email@example.com).

Beef: It's what's not for lunch in most Tampa Bay area schools.
Schools in Hillsborough, Pinellasand Pasco counties have taken the unusual move of pulling beef from their menus while the U.S. Department of Agriculture investigates charges that a slaughterhouse supplying school lunch programs treated cattle inhumanely, which could pose a safety hazard.
School officials can't say how long students will have to do without hamburgers or eat spaghetti sans meatballs, but they don't think children have gotten sick. Here are answers to questions parents may have:
What beef is affected?
In Florida, the beef in question was headed to school lunch programs. Officials with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services say they are holding about 40,000 pounds of ground beef that was shipped to a warehouse in Winter Haven. They're also aware of beef shipped to out-of-state processing plants that prepare food items like taco beef and meatballs for schools. There has not been a recall at this time, but school lunch programs around the nation face similar concerns. In the west-central Florida area, however, Hernando County is unaffected.
What prompted the action?
Video footage released last week suggested that workers at a California slaughterhouse may have abused animals to force them into the slaughterhouse. The footage, recorded in an undercover investigation by the Humane Society of the United States, prompted the USDA to place an "administrative hold" - or an order not to serve - on beef products that the Westland Meat Co. supplied to federal nutrition programs.
What's the health concern for people?
Regulations say cattle must be able to walk into the slaughterhouse on their own to ensure they are healthy. Animals that can't, so-called "downer" cattle, are not supposed to be used for human food and raise concerns about mad cow disease and other health risks. It is not known if downer cows actually entered the food supply. The USDA is investigating the allegations of problems.
What was done to the cattle?
A graphic video shows workers at the slaughterhouse ramming the animals with forklifts, using electric shocks, even shooting water up their noses in a practice that the animal welfare advocates compared to waterboarding. The footage was released by the Humane Society after a six-week investigation.
Could children get sick from consuming the beef?
Local school officials say they are unaware of children becoming ill - and stress that they are acting in an abundance of caution. In Pasco, for example, cafeterias pulled all beef products, even items that didn't come from the supplier under investigation.
What does this mean for school menus?
They'll be featuring more chicken. And pork.
Hamburgers were a no-go Tuesday in Hillsborough. Pinellas students had to forgo meatball subs and a potato turbate this week. By a stroke of luck, Pasco wasn't serving beef this week, but stands ready to adjust menus that call for hamburgers and pasta with meatballs next week.
How long will the beef hold last?
Local school officials would like to know. Hillsborough cafeterias are waiting for word on whether they can use 3,269 cases of hamburgers, meatballs and beef crumbles valued at $62,094.
The USDA has asked schools to put a hold on beef for at least 10 days. After that, the agency is supposed to decide what happens.

The Parents' Review
A Monthly Magazine of Home-Training and Culture
"Education is an atmosphere, a discipline, a life."
A Short List of Books on Educational Subjects
with brief critical notices of each book
ETHICAL. ADLER, FELIX, Ph.D., President of the Ethical Society of New York. *Moral Instruction of Children. 8vo., pp. xiii., 270; E. Arnold, 1892; 6s. A systematic practical handbook to this important subject, not based on any definite religious system. Very valuable to parents and teachers.
BRYANT, MRS. SOPHIE, D.Sc., Head Mistress of the North London Collegiate School Girls. *Educational Ends, 8vo., pp. x., 292; Longmans & Co., 1887; 6s. A most valuable discussion of the ethical and logical ends of education, from the standpoint of philosophical idealism, concluding with the establishment of the ultimate unity of the two ends. This is one of the books which every thoughtful parent and teacher should read. *Short Studies in Character. 8vo., pp. vi., 247; Swan, Sonnenschein & Co., 1894; 3s. 6d. A series of essays on the essential features of a good character, and the process of its formation, regarded throughout from an educational standpoint. The book is simpler and less systematic than the same author's Educational Ends, to which it forms a good introduction.
GREY, MRS. W. *Last Words to Girls on Life in School and after School. Longmans, 3s. 6d. A good book, whose scope is sufficiently indicated by its title.
MACKENZIE, J.S., M.A., Professor of Philosophy at University College, Cardiff. A Manual of Ethics. 8vo., pp. xxx., 355; Clive & Co., 1892; 6s. 6d. A clear and stimulating discussion, from the stand point of philosophical idealism, of the end of life and the characteristics of good conduct and character. Some knowledge of the theory of ethics must be regarded as essential to all educators, and no book is better adapted to supply this knowledge than Mr. Mackenzie's.
MUIRHEAD, J.H., M.A., Professor of Philosophy at the Royal Holloway College, Egham. *Elements of Ethics. 8vo., pp. xi., 239; Murray, 1892; 3s. A book on similar lines to Professor Mackenzie's, and from a similar and from a similar standpoint, but briefer, and with less reference to the individual life.
PEREZ, BERNHARD. *L'education morale des le Berceau. 8vo., pp. xxiv., 320; Paris: Alcain, 1887 5fr. A treatise on the development and training of character, based on a psychological study of the growth of the emotions and the will.
WILSON, ARCHDEACON, formerly Head Master of Clifton College. Three Addresses to Girls at School. 8vo.; Rivingtons and Co.; 1s. 6d. Three excellent and stimulating addresses dealing with Education, High School Education for Girls, and Religion respectively.
Books marked * are in the P.N.E.U. Library.

EPS Staff (Joseph Nicolette) co-authored the first formalized framework for NEBA recognized by the USEPA, USEPA Science Advisory Board, NOAA, and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA). EPS staff have used NEBA to assist clients in quantifying and comparing the effects that alternative actions will have on the environment. For clients, the benefits of understanding these effects has helped to reduce and manage costs, manage site risks, and maximize benefits to the environment and the public.
EPS staff (Joseph Nicolette) has focused on NEBA applications for about 25 years including recent applications of NEBA to the Comparative Assessment process for developing decommissioning options for offshore oil and gas platforms and subsea structure (e.g., jackets, subsea kits, pipelines, and sea bed deposits – cuttings piles). Mr. Nicolette has led offshore NEBA decommissioning training workshops and presentations for multiple clients in the U.S., SE Asia and Europe (e.g., North Sea). He has made demonstrated contributions to the development of NEBA and NRDA approaches in the U.S. and Internationally over the past 24 years. This includes the conduct of international presentations and workshops (Brazil, Canada, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Malaysia, Norway, Scotland, South Africa, Sweden, Thailand, United States, etc.) related to comparative assessment (e.g., NEBA), risk management, offshore decommissioning, resource equivalency, oil spill response and planning, site remediation and damage assessment.
Recent specific projects include the development of quantitative NEBA applications for comparative assessments of offshore decommissioning options for subsea structure for well fields in the Gulf of Mexico, Australia, and the North Sea. These have included a multi-Platform field, a Floating Production and Storage Offloading (FPSO) facility, and an analysis of specific subsea components as part of an ongoing decommissioning process. Additionally, these applications have also incorporated risk analysis of residual chemicals, where warranted, that may be associated with various management options such as removal, partial, removal, or leave in-situ, alternatives. EPS staff has worked closely with the operators to develop and scope the NEBA comparative assessments to support agency and stakeholder discussions. The overall goal of NEBA in these cases was to support decision-making regarding what should be removed versus what should be left in place. Comparative assessment using NEBA as applied in these case studies focused on evaluating the environmental benefits and costs of the subsea structures so as to balance the risks, benefits, and tradeoffs between various removal, partial removal, and leave in-situ alternatives.
As part of the NEBA-based comparative assessments for offshore decommissioning, EPS staff experience includes the development of the overarching NEBA framework for specific sites (as all sites are not the same), remote operated vehicle (ROV) survey analysis and associated species analysis, biological index development, water/chemical diffusion modeling, ecological and human health risk assessment, health and safety implementation risk assessment, greenhouse gas emission estimation, sediment and water column chemical composition analysis and evaluation, ecosystem service modeling, etc. Our staff experience has included both domestic waters (e.g., Gulf of Mexico, Pacific Ocean) and various international locations (North Sea, Indian Ocean-Australia, Gulf of Thailand, etc.).

Our tips on how to get yourself the best seats on the plane
As airlines cram in more and more seats and change configurations on their planes, the task of choosing a seat you'll be happy to occupy for hours is becoming daunting. Do you want a window seat for the view or to lean against? Is your preference an aisle so you can get up easily?
On some planes the first exit row seats – and the row at the back of the plane – don't recline. And how do you know where those big metal boxes bolted to the floor that eat up your legroom are located? Here are a few tips for getting the best seat on your next flight.
Navigate the seat map
Your Travel Manager is a terrific asset here. Take advantage of their access to industry booking portals, and lock in your seating preferences with them before you book. Seat Guru is another resource, dedicated to the topic of airplane seating. It provides seat maps for most airlines and planes, along with comparison charts. They even have a 'Guru' tab providing helpful articles such as 'Bulkheads Explained: Pros and Cons' and 'The Art of Negotiating a Seat Swap'.
Be a check-in ninja
Economy Class passengers should check-in online as early as possible. If you can check-in 24-hours before your flight, don't wait until 23 hours beforehand! Setting a calendar reminder or phone alarm for when it's time to check-in will help you get first pick on unclaimed seats. If you're flying solo – as business travelers often do – keep an eye out for a spare aisle seat in a row of four where the two at the other end of the row have been taken. That lonely middle seat will likely be the last chosen and this maximizes the possibility of a spare seat beside you.
Leverage your memberships
Ensure your seat preference is registered with your frequent flyer profile. If you like an aisle or a window, you should be allocated your preference automatically. Don't waste your breath on asking for a free upgrade – these went out of style with the smoking section. You can ask for a bulkhead seat or an exit row seat, but there will likely be a fee. If you're eager to maximize your points, get started with The Points Guy.
Learn the lay of the... air
You'll usually get a smoother ride near the front of the plane and if noise is your big issue go for a spot forward of the wings. The back of the plane is where you sit near the restrooms, suffer a noisier, bumpier ride and are often last off the plane. You'll also be among the final passengers to get a meal, meaning your first choice of food might not be available by the time they get to you. Try requesting a special meal when you book or check-in online, as these are delivered before the main service starts. For these reasons, the back of the plane is generally avoided. But, if these inconveniences don't bother you, then you can likely score an empty seat or even a vacant row nearby.
Of course, even the most painstaking seat selection process could still result in you sitting in front of a wailing infant, next to a garlic-loving seat-mate, or behind an instant-recliner. So just in case, make sure to always pack your Zen in your carry-on.

Thanks Steve and PartSelect, outstanding video! Took my time Saturday morning, the iPad review back/ forth, and followed every step. Took about 1 hour. Key notes: Use the putty
knife, very helpful tip! Take your time, and don't force parts. Watch closely on the blades assembly and spring reinstall. Oh yeah, don't use other stored purchased ice in your
icemaker, or it will break your blades (hard ice blocks) forcing this needed repair!
just ordered this part, as I took the bin out and quickly figured out what I needed to order, but would have had no idea how to disassemble and reassemble without your help. Thank
you for providing such a valuable video!
Great customer service! Phoned in to ask a question, your person was able to pull up exactly what I needed to fix my problem in seconds! Saved me hours of searching the internet! Thanks!
Your site is awesome! I just bought a fridge second-hand at a great price as it had an issue with the door. I found the parts I needed, ordered them Thursday afternoon, they arrived
Friday at noon, repaired in under an hour, and the fridge is like new! Thank you so much for making this family happy. I'll recommend you to all.
PartSelect had the part I needed at the best price. No one in Charlotte carried it, so they were my best option.
Partselect.com website was very helpful in pinpointing my issue with a 8 year old fridge. The video on how to install was spot on and easy. Best of all shortly after receiving the part
my fridge was back in business. Oh, the parts came in two days. A+++. I just hade a blender part break and back to PartSelect.com I went, and am confident this order will go as smooth
as the first.
My experience with PartSelect was great. My order came in a timely manner and it was just the part I needed. I'm not a mechanic nor do I have experience working on appliances, but they
made it easy for me to find the part I was looking for and how to install it. It took me less than 15 minutes to have my dishwasher back running and cleaning my dishes like new again.
Thank you so much.
I bought a heating element for my clothes dryer online. I found the item that I needed quickly and the website was easy to navigate. My part arrived in a timely manner and I am very
satisfied. I appreciated the video that was emailed to me showing me exactly how to install the part.
Saved more than $300 by replacing parts myself and service tech would have had also order the parts and then bring them out, so saved at least 3 days in time and time away from work to
let them in the house. Using PartSelect was a win, win, win scenario.
I wanted to express my appreciation and satisfaction with your company and the speed with which you were able to deliver the parts that I required for a dryer repair, as well as
providing them at almost 60% off of my local appliance parts store. I ordered my parts at 8:00 PM Eastern time on Monday evening and they arrived at 9:00 AM on Wednesday morning and
everything was in great shape, I received everything I ordered and the video from your website made it extremely easy to install and get the dryer back up and running. Thanks again for
your excellent customer service, you are doing a great. job!
I needed to get a new refrigerator door shelf retainer. (Didn't know that was the name of it:)) I went to PartSelect and they requested the model number. I entered it but no match was
found. I then proceeded to answer a series of simple questions and quickly narrowed down the retainer that was needed. I ordered the part and it was delivered in a couple of days. It
was an exact match. Easy to order and fast delivery. If you consider the ease for searching this web site and for quickly finding the correct retainer vs driving to some store
(using time, gas & personal frustration),without a doubt this is the best option to choose.

At this particular time, I was searching for more in my spiritual life — the CSJ Associate Program was the answer.
My association with the Sisters of St. Joseph dates back to 1964. Sister Magdalena hired me as a part time employee in the business office at St. Michael's Hospital. The Sisters I worked with kept Christ present in the work place. Their example of Christian caring earned my respect and love over the years.
In 1984, Sister Margaret McNamara invited several of the hospital staff to attend the first associate meeting and discern for ourselves if this program would interest us. At this particular time, I was searching for more in my spiritual life. The CSJ Associate Program was the answer. I felt comfortable with the group as we shared our faith and prayed together. During the first year, Sr. Virginia Varley attended our meetings. She told us the history of the congregation starting in Le Puy, France, when associates worked side by side with the Sisters. I was deeply moved hearing Fr. Médaille's little design, reading the maxims and the Eucharistic Letter. I also felt, as did the Sisters, that "the love of God had gathered us together."
About our group
Our associate group is called "St Michael's." The majority of our meetings are at the hospital where we have the privilege of praying in the chapel. We have bonded together: we pray, we share our faith and we bake. For the past 10 years, we have held an annual Bake Sale at the hospital, the proceeds going to support our Sisters in Haiti.
Ten years ago, while making a commitment retreat at Morrow Park, I prayed in the chapel for direction in my life. Shortly afterwards, Sister Virginia Nelson asked the assembly for volunteers to look after a nature mission in the Yukon for the summer months. My husband and I accepted. The experience was life giving, allowing us to engage in a mission of unity and love with God's people.
How I have grown
Through the associates, my prayer life has been transformed. I understand more fully my Baptismal promise. I try to live out the charism of the CSJ by participating more fully in parish ministry, visiting shut-ins and the elderly. Volunteering in the Palliative Care Unit at the hospital has given me the opportunity to care for "the dear neighbour."
The associate program has grown over the years through the sacrifice of a small group of Sisters, giving of their time, sharing their spirituality and gently leading us to a greater understanding of our faith. Thanks to them, the CSJ Associate Program is "the more" in my life.

How to Modify My Mortgage Interest Rate
There are several ways you can "modify" or adjust the interest rate on your mortgage, and more than one way to get the job done. Your financial situation ultimately dictates the route you'll take. If you are facing foreclosure, have seen the value of your home drop below the remaining balance on your loan or simply find yourself in a "bad" mortgage, a government-initiated refinance or modification program could work best. If you simply want to take advantage of a low-interest rate environment, shop around for the lender offering the best deal on a mortgage refinance.
Call your lender. If you are unable to afford the monthly payment on your present mortgage, they'll probably see if you qualify for a Making Home Affordable refinance or modification. The Home Affordable Refinance Program moves homeowners who are current on their mortgage payments into a more stable loan with a fixed interest rate. For more dire situations, the Home Affordable Modification Program changes the terms of an existing mortgage in an attempt to lower the monthly payment. The first thing lenders do under HAMP is lower your interest rate--to as low as 2 percent--to get a monthly payment that takes up no more than 31 percent of your monthly income.
Ask your lender if they participate in the Federal Housing Administration's Short Refinance program, if you are underwater on your mortgage--meaning, you owe more on it than your home is worth. Under HARP, your loan-to-value ratio cannot exceed 125 percent. There is no limit with an FHA Short Refi. According to a HUD press release, you'll need a credit score of at least 500 to qualify.
Query lenders about in-house refinancing outside of government hardship schemes if your situation is not dire, particularly if you are not underwater and your credit is good. As the Federal Reserve Board explains, the approval process for refinancing is similar to the underwriting you went through to secure your initial loan. Lenders scrutinize your credit, income and employment history as well as evaluate loan-to-value ratio, which must fall within their parameters. Most people refinance if they can qualify for a lower interest rate than the one they currently have and will have going forward.
Bargain with lenders. Shop around and look for the bank, credit union or other financial institution offering the best refinance rates. Some will consider a cash-out refinance. As the Federal Reserve Board notes, if your home is worth more than the balance on your loan, you can take out a refinanced loan for more than you owe and use the excess cash for something else, such as home improvements.

- Description
DetailsStrategic alignment is key for organizations that want to succeed and lead their organizations towards business transformation and innovation. Most of the time strategy is well defined, but it is not properly communicated and understood by the different areas inside the organization and, as a consequence, the operational and even the tactical teams have issues trying to implement and define their business and operational plans aligned with that strategy. This White Paper is about a strategic alignment survey that was conducted among several managers, architects, and strategists and is aimed at trying to understand the root causes that lead to the lack of alignment between strategy and execution and also presents interesting conclusions and recommendations to improve strategic alignment.

Why buying second hand freezers shouldn't break the bank
Apart from the staff, a laboratory's most important asset, on a day to day basis is its equipment. And whilst all laboratories would like the latest technology and advances in laboratory freezers, limited budgets often restrict replacement programs. However there is an alternative, in the form of reconditioned/second-hand equipment.
The main obstacle when buying reconditioned equipment
For many laboratory managers and technicians, the idea of buying pre-owned equipment may be one that they never considered. Surely lab equipment has to be shiny and new? But how many of us buy brand new cars! The concept of 'second hand or reconditioned' is one that we are all familiar and comfortable with in other spheres of life, look at the rise of online auction sites such as eBay. Why then has this acceptance of used equipment not generally translated to the scientific community? The reason is lack of exposure to and knowledge of this expanding market. Most organisations have a mechanism in place to redistribute surplus used equipment between departments or divisions. So the principle of re-using other labs equipment has already been established. However, an obstacle still remains in many companies and hospitals to actually purchasing second hand or reconditioned equipment.
It is fundamental to a laboratory that its equipment is reliable and accurate, how is this achieved? By buying good quality in the first place and implementing a strict maintenance program. Surely therefore second hand equipment fails short of the standards required by most labs? Not if purchased carefully and serviced on a regular basis. Equipment of this nature can serve a lab very well, at a fraction of the price.
The main benefits
Clearly the primary reason for considering used equipment is cost. There can be significant savings over new, often ranging from 50% to over 80 % off the list price. In real terms the amounts saved are more substantial the higher the purchase price. Take a full PC controlled HPLC system, for example. New prices can easily pass the £30,000 mark, so 50% saving could make a large difference to the budget of most laboratories. This would mean the saved funds could be utilised for additional purchases, put towards maintenance agreements or retained for future expenditure.
Savings can also be made on an on-going basis, by having service contracts with 3rd party suppliers. Gone are the days, for many types of equipment, of being restricted to only having the original manufacturer to cover the equipment for breakdown and regular engineer visits. There are many independent, fully trained and qualified service companies in the UK offering a range of maintenance programmes to suit all budgets.
Second and third place?
Assuming you have accepted, in principle, that second hand equipment is a viable alternative for your lab, what next? There are a number of options, each with their own advantages.
You could consider ex-demonstration equipment. This is often still within a manufacturer's current product range and will mostly be sold with a standard warranty. Many companies will have items within their range that cannot be sold as 'new', either because they have been used for exhibitions or taken to customer sites as part of the sales process. The savings however are not typically of the same magnitude as genuine used equipment, and therefore this option may not scratch where the buyer is itching.
The opposite end of the spectrum is to purchase equipment direct from other laboratories. This may come about by word-of-mouth or at an auction of assets of a company that has closed down. Clearly, this is the very cheapest way of acquiring equipment. There are, however, significant disadvantages to this route, which must not be overlooked in favour of saving money. You need to have confidence that something you purchase is complete and operating well. The absence of operator or technical manuals, software disks or cables, for instance, is not insurmountable, but can be a costly and time-consuming exercise to rectify. In addition, the lack of sufficient service history or adequate proof of function should not be glossed over.
Buying equipment direct from labs therefore is a very cheap option but should only be engaged in with a full appreciation of the risks and potential obstacles.
What is the answer?
What then is the best way forward? If we consider the example of purchasing a used car, there are two main options: buying from a private seller or from a car dealer. The former is cheaper but there are no guarantees. Once you hand over the money that's it. Whereas with a car dealer, you should rightly expect not only that it comes with a warranty, but also that the car has been checked, serviced and even cleaned.
The same applies to buying second hand lab equipment. Specialised dealers in the UK are in a position to offer an extensive range of tested and guaranteed equipment. Almost all types of lab equipment are available via this route, from autoclaves to atomic absorption spectrometers, from balances to biochemistry analysers, from centrifuges to chromatography systems.
As to age and condition, these can vary and the prices reflect this fact. Many items are available in 'almost new' condition, being only a few years old, but still attracting a generous reduction off the equivalent new price. Whereas older equipment may show superficial signs of age but from a functional point of view can still operate to requirements, and of course can be purchased at a significant saving.
So second-hand equipment has its place, whether you are a start-up company looking to keep initial costs down, or an established lab wanting to stretch your budget. It is even possible to rent certain types of equipment for short-term projects.
Time for a clear out
The flip side of this subject is also something that many lab scientists may be unaware of – selling redundant equipment yourselves. All laboratories have equipment replacement programmes, even if they are non-formalised. Eventually every piece of equipment will need replacing, which leaves the question of what to do with it once it has been unplugged. For most labs there have previously been only two options: either to store it or scrap it. However both of these have distinct disadvantages.
The storage option is the easiest in the short term; it gets the equipment out of the lab. But sweeping something under the carpet has never been a good idea. Not only is storage space at a premium in most organisations, but the problem has not gone away; it is just out of sight. At some point in the future someone will have to tackle this equipment, whether it is you or one of your colleagues.
The second option traditionally employed for disposal of redundant equipment has simply been to scrap it. This may seem the best fate for 'that old piece of kit', but the problems with this method are very clear: Most importantly, this is not environmentally friendly. The buzzword these days is recycle, not only in domestic terms but also in business and industry. Sending equipment to landfill has never been a good idea, but even more so these days, as we are becoming more aware of our responsibility to care for our planet. Furthermore, there is legislation in place relating to the disposal of equipment, including items with potential bio hazardous contents.
In addition, there is a moral aspect to simply disposing of unwanted equipment; many laboratories in developing countries would happily use what most UK users would view as scrap. Just because something has reached the end of a designated lifespan does not mean it has reached the end of its life.
Having established that storing or scrapping unwanted equipment is not ideal, the third choice that of selling it, is by far the best way forward. Not only is it environmentally friendly and morally satisfying, it can generate useful funds for your organisation. The same companies from whom one can purchase good quality used equipment often buy redundant instrumentation in order to recondition for selling on to other labs in the UK or overseas. Even non-working systems can be of interest, as they can be stripped for valuable parts. So consider making time to clear out your storeroom or empty your cupboards and in the process make money for your lab.
Experts in their field
Cool Repair Scientific UK Ltd has been assisting laboratories in the process of both buying and selling second hand equipment for over 15 years. In the early nineties the need for a service to be offered to companies and hospitals was identified as the market for good quality used equipment was in its infancy here in the UK. Over the years repeat business has proved that once the initial hurdle is overcome, labs are very accepting of this type of equipment and realise the major benefits. Customers range from large multi-national pharmaceuticals to small research companies; from NHS trusts to private hospitals; and even schools and universities. All our reconditioned freezer equipment is sold fully serviced with warranty.
In conclusion, second-hand equipment can be a realistic alternative to buying new. The savings are substantial and if purchased from reliable sources, along with the instigation of regular maintenance and service programmes, such equipment can serve laboratori matter how large or small.

Are In-App Payments and Facebook Credits on a Collision Course?
Apple's iOS and Facebook are very different platforms at a fundamental level. But their moves over the past month suggest that they could clash over the next year or two in some fascinating ways.
At its core, Facebook is an identity layer that is agnostic about which device or application a user touches the platform with. iOS, in contrast, has so far existed mainly to drive sales of Apple hardware.
But both Apple and Facebook want a cut of downstream revenues from the burgeoning economies that their platforms support. Apple did this from the get-go by taking 30% of revenue from paid apps, which it extended to in-app payments and now subscriptions. Facebook did this with Credits, the currency it introduced as virtual goods blossomed into a $2.1 billion U.S. market. It anchored off the price expectations Apple set, and also used the 70% to 30% revenue split.
Both have moved to consolidate power around their in-house payment systems this year. Facebook will make Credits mandatory as the sole payment option for games by July. Apple now requires that publishers offer consumers the choice of paying through iTunes for subscriptions or in-app purchases, from which it will take a 30% cut. While consumers can still pay for subscriptions outside iTunes, Apple's system is so seamless that most consumers will probably opt for it anyway.
So this is all well and good: Apple controls payments on iOS. Facebook controls payments on canvas games. When does it get interesting?
Multiple sources have hinted that Facebook Credits are coming for the web — perhaps as soon as next quarter. Opening up Credits to the web would extend the currency's reach into many more gaming titles. It would also get the company into other types of digital goods such as content or music. There's been widespread speculation about this for years.
The less discussed aspect of the move is that it would also be a back door into mobile. Facebook has been pushing game developers to use HTML5 instead of building native apps. Facebook chief technology officer Bret Taylor has also hinted that whatever tablet experience it launches may be in HTML5.
Now imagine if Facebook didn't just launch a native iPad or Android tablet app. Imagine if it also launched a tablet-optimized HTML5 version that came complete with all of the Facebook platform's top-performing titles from Zynga and other developers.
If it integrated Credits into HTML5 gaming titles, this would bypass payment restrictions in the app store and Android Marketplace. Much has been made of the HTML5-native debate, but many popular iOS apps have HTML5 elements in them. Oecoway's unofficial Facebook app, Friendly for iPad, renders its core parts including the news feed in HTML5. It has just over 2 million monthly active users, according to AppData.
The interesting question is not whether developers are turning to native apps over HTML5, but why. Is it because of performance, discovery or monetization? If Facebook could solve two of those three problems with the social graph and Credits, would mobile developers come?
Supporting Credits in web apps would help Facebook hold onto its developer community as it eyes Android and iOS as alternative sources of revenue. From conversations with developers and third-party service providers, the handful of very top iOS game developers are operating on an annualized $20 to 25 million run rate right now. That's a fraction of what Zynga makes, but is nevertheless intriguing.
Facebook is powerful enough as a destination that it could probably drive meaningful traffic to HTML5 gaming titles. About 60 percent of the company's more than 200 million monthly mobile users access it through the web, which is more than the total number of Android devices that Gartner estimates have been shipped to date. On top of that, Facebook could always leverage its relationships with the carriers and device manufacturers to come pre-installed on handsets and tablets, along the lines of what it has done with Facebook Zero and the special HTC and INQ handsets that were unveiled last week at Mobile World Congress. It could offer carriers a cut of Credits revenue to sweeten the deal.
Meanwhile, given Apple and Facebook's failure to come to an agreement with bringing Connect to Ping, iTunes' social network for music, it's hard to see iOS giving Credits an opening. So Facebook will have to go through the web at least in the long-run.
Since their inception, the iOS and Facebook platforms have presided over a shift from mostly free and advertising-supported experiences to freemium or free-to-play ones that are monetized with micropayments. Games have pioneered the way, but other industries like the media are beginning to experiment with payments too.
The question is who will provide the best payments infrastructure on mobile and the web for digital content? Apple's iOS and Facebook have positioned themselves as ubiquitous and trusted platforms with the scale to become market-makers. Android is also emerging as the second major smartphone platform as Google fixes its payments infrastructure with in-app purchases and a subscription program OnePass. However, the company has never historically executed payments well. Amazon, with years of expertise in e-commerce and recommendations, plus ties to the developer community through web services, is very formidable too. Coming in behind these four are other players like Sony and Microsoft.
This is probably not a winner-take-all market. It may end up looking something more like Visa, Mastercard and Amex. Margins may have to come down as they compete. This will be one interesting horse-race to watch.

Al Tareeq's journalists shall never provide nor receive any monetrary or financial reciprocations to obtain any data or news. Bribery is strictly prohibited, as well as any other unethical practices for acquiring visual materials or information.
We respect all individuals' privacies; delving into any personal details of public figuresmust have a purpose – such as serving the public interest by providing them with critical data, or exposing illegal practices that are a source of harm to the general public. Otherwise, personal lives are always respected.
The Truth
We are dedicated to tirelessly searching for the truth, no matter the consequences.
Professional Fellowship
Al Tareeq's journalists are expected to establish consolidation in professional fellowship; they must avoid misusing the platform as a space for settling scores or seeking revenge.
External Pressure
Al Tareeq's team must refuse being subjected to falling under pressure from external sources. Instructions followed must only come from their direct seniors on the team. All material pending publication should not be disclosed except to their direct editing managers.
They must not write any comments or pieces that may clash with their personal opinions, beliefs, or our code of ethics.
Al Tareeq's team must be respectful of the diversity of all Sudanese societies; this includes all ethnicities, cultures, and languages.
Gender Equality
Al Tareeq's editorial team must not participate in the perpetuation of gender inequality or discrimination; this includes presenting feminist cases as a material for public consumption or sensational journalism.
Rights of Children
It is necessary and critical to address the treatment of children's accounts and use of their images in any form of journalism for the purpose of creating a balanced representation that both protects children's rights and their families, and informs the readers. It is a vital and undisputed matter that children's agreement and their guardians must be obtained before interviews; if requested, blurring the children's distinct features, or refraining from using their images must be done accordingly.
Moreover, considering the children's wellbeing – physically, emotionally, and mentally – is a priority. Asking children any anxiety-triggering and/provoking questions, or coercing them into responding with particular answers is not acceptable under any circumstances.
Our team pledges to always protect children's rights, uphold their dignity, and handling any relevant news with the utmost sensitivity, care, and respect.
Al Tareeq must avoid publishing material that can lead to crime; we seek to create a balance between public interest under freedom of expression, and respecting the lives of victims, their families, and suspects.
Our material should not include details that may serve as written reenactments of a crime, unless a professional-related justification is provided by the journalist and agreed upon by the senior editors.
We always seek to communicate with the multiple sides of each story for information in regards to conflict and dispute.
In our effort to prioritize human dignity, less usage of extremely graphic details and gory language in describing the trauma of warzones, crisis, and natural disasters may be enabled in order to protect those affected.
Furthermore, we are keen on victims' families not learning about the injury or death of family members through our platform; we do not release personal information about victims – injured or casualty – unless it is an absolute necessity.
Section 2:
The Role of Journalists in Society
The role of a journalist, at any time and in any society, is to provide readers with the information they need to form their own opinions or take action in the political, social, economic, or culture spheres.
Therefore, a journalist's role is a pivotal one – they act as observers of society and revealers of truth, and contributors to raising awareness. Thus, they must abide by:
- Explaining the different economic, social, and political directions, affiliations, and ideologies;
- Examining, in detail, the ins and outs of governmental and judicial system practices, as well as those of corporate, and civil society, in order to shed light on any ongoing success stories, or failures and shortcomings;
- Fighting injustice, corruption, and power abuse;
- Exposing authority's cases of negligence and incompetence;
- Raising awareness among readers and audience about electoral processes and democratic procedures and practices;
- Analyzing complex cases that directly affect the general public's lives;
- Publishing the undistorted and complete truth;
- Exposing human rights' violations.
We, Al Tareeq's team, pledge to abide by the Code of Ethics above, and to always act in accordance with the morals of our profession, and the ethics of journalism, and to continue materializing its content in doing our required job roles.

I hope i don't offent anyone. Please keep comments respectful.
This is a spin-off about another post in the waiting boards asking if you got pregnant, would it change your timeline?
A few said "no, i don't want people thinking that he proposed because i was pregnant" and it got me thinking… what would i do? I also would never want people thinking that! And i know we should say "screw those people, who needs them", but let's face it. Sometimes we do care what people think. Having a cousin (who was more like a sister and people often refferred to us as the"twins") who dated a guy for a couple years and fell pregnant, then had a wedding shortly after finding out … i saw what people thought.
I had numerous people say "soooooo [cousins name] huh?" and make that weird face. That weird face like someone accidentally peed their pants. Or "so did they like even want to get married?" or just a plain old "what happened to her?" Like she went through some big ordeal. Then they would end the conversation with "oh well i hope she is happy".
I would never want people thinking stuff like that and being so rude. Even when i explained that they had been together for a while, it was just kind of like a shoulder shrug *oh ok, if you say so*. SO and I have discussed marriage and kids and I know it is in our future and should something happen before we plan, then that is something we would adjust to. I think we would move up our timeline, but i would be lying if i said that the "proposal because i was pregnant" and "pregnant bride" stigma weren't in the back of my mind. If you became pregnant before proposal…. what did you/would you do? Those who went through it, did you notice any negativity that came along with it?
Again – please don't take offense if you happen to have had a child before marriage. This is not bashing anyone! I understand families are different and everyones timelines are different. I am pretty much about talking about the social aspect of it.

Homemade Hawkeye costumeMonday, October 29, 2012
|Photo credit
The following day, I went to two big neighbourhood malls but could not find a single black tank top for boys! Can you believe that? In the end, hubby found a black tee from Art Friend and we cut off the sleeves. Also got L a pair of black jeans and a belt to go with the Hawkeye look.
Making the bow:
The DIY tutorial suggested using a PVC pipe to make a bow which really works and is safe to shoot. I used a long paper roll instead. Wouldn't want to risk having 20 children playing and shooting one another with the bow and arrows.
I made two slits across the points shown by the red arrows and bent the paper roll to form a curve. Then I taped the whole roll with black duct tape. You'll need to reinforce the two parts which bend with more duct tape.
Next, I poked a hole at each end of the paper roll and attached a string through the holes by tying a knot at each end.
To position the arrow easily, I poked a small hole through the centre of the paper roll and forced the plastic part of a syringe through, then cut off the excess part of the syringe. The plastic syringe was also sprayed black to create a uniformly black look.
I also added two tapes at the centre of the string (near the plastic syringe) to help L position his arrow more easily.
Making the quiver:
This was done using a cylinder tube from a courier service. I cut the tube to fit the diagonal length of L's body. Sprayed it with black paint and glued a strap to the top and bottom of the tube using hot glue gun and taped with black duct tape. The strap was from those free bags which I received from attending conferences and seminars. Really felt good reusing the things I collected years ago.
Making the arrows:
Hubby bought these two wooden sticks from Art Friend, but you can use anything that's long enough. My other alternative would be those wooden sticks we carry our paper lanterns with during the Mooncake Festival. I glued a small bead at one end of the stick and sprayed the whole thing black.
Making the finger glove:
Followed the instructions from Life Sprinkled With Glitter to make the finger glove. Hubby found black leather scraps and handicraft rings from Art Friend. I measured the length of a piece of leather around the wrist of L to make the rectangular-shaped wrist band. Remember to leave enough space for your Velcro strip. The Velcro strips were glued onto the leather wrist band using hot glue gun.
Next, I cut three thin strips of leather, each with the width of L's finger. One end of the strip was wrapped around the ring and hot-glued. Then the other end of all the three strips was hot-glued to the rectangular wrist band.
Note: I tried to stitch the leather straps together, as well as the Velcro strip, onto the wrist band... but it was so difficult. The leather was too thick for hand-stitching and my fingers got poked too much that I gave up. Maybe thin leather-like fabric will work much better.
Making the armguard:
Followed instructions from Life Sprinkled With Glitter to make the armguard. Hawkeye wore two armguards in The Avengers movie, but I think it's cool enough with just one armguard.
Using black elastic band, I measured L's arm (between the wrist and elbow) at three spots and hand-stitched each piece into a ring. Be sure to leave a little extra length for each circle as you will need to overlap the band when you stitch it together. Then the last elastic band goes along the arm to connect the three elastic rings and form the armguard.
L was so happy and excited on the day of the Halloween party. He said he didn't tell the teachers what he would be dressed as, 'cause he wanted it to be a surprise!

This is not the way Medieval gymnasts played pool. At least, we don't think so. This image is an echo of bygone days in Kerckhoff Hall. Our billiards enthusiast is one of several medieval-themed, stained-glass windows in the venerable campus home of ASUCLA. It lives in the Charles E. Young Grand Salon, formerly a men's lounge, along with other windows that show "real" men's sports such as boxing and football. We love the windows so much, in fact, that this is the second time we've featured one of them. The other, which ran in our April 2006 issue, also is located in the men's lounge and shows a, um, rear-end view of a skinny-dipper preparing to dive into "ye auld swimming hole."

2009-10 Fellow
Dear Students,
I m honored to serve as the first Wyatt Fellow. It is a unique privilege to be able to share my knowledge of Poland with UM-Flint students through Professor Wyatt's generosity to the Department of History. My Polish interests began with living in Poland from 1972-1976, the last decade of communist rule. I studied Polish literature and history, experienced traditional Polish life in the homes of friends, and learned the reality of People's Poland or Poland under communist rule first hand.
Upon return to the US, I earned my PhD in Slavic Languages and Literatures at Indiana University in 1985. Studying Polish literature and culture built naturally upon by BA degree in European History. I have taught in the Department of History at UM-Flint since 1986. Every minute of teaching here at UM-Flint has been rewarding. In addition to the history and culture of Poland, I have developed course a on the Holocaust and revised Departmental courses in German and Russian history. My research concerns Bruno Schultz, an outstanding 20th century Polish writer and a Jew murdered in the Holocaust. I have published four articles on his work and translated his biography, Jerzy Ficowski's Regions of the Great Heresy (W.W. Norton, 2004)
Living in Flint has taught me a great deal and provided friends for a lifetime. A city of many ethnic groups, Flint has substantial Slavic, Polish, and Jewish populations. I have enjoyed working with Dom Polski of Flint, the former International Institute, and the Flint Jewish Federation. I look forward to the adventures of the first Wyatt Exploration year, 2009-2010. To see what Krakow looks like and some of the places our student group will visit, please go to my planning blog at http://wyattinkrakow2009.blogspot.com/.
Do zobaczenia!

The man used to chastise the dog for drinking from scummy puddles beside the road.
That extra-hard leash-yank was what returned to him after the water was gone, when he and the dog both lapped at rare graces of liquid, the man's knees muddied.
Eventually, the dog had to go.

Weighing Scale with Label Printer
What are the benefits of using a label printer with a scale?
A weighing scale with label printer has many benefits, including efficiency, and traceability. When you add a printer to a scale for applications that require documentation, you are removing the possibility for human error. Whenever an operator must write down weighment information, there is a possibility they will write it wrong – leading to bad batches or incorrect inventory control down the line. For ensured accuracy in tracking, a printer is a good solution.
Where can I buy a weighing scale with label printer?
Seek a scale solution provider with a trusted reputation for ensured accuracy and reliability. METTLER TOLEDO offers a variety of weighing scale with label printer solutions for easy weighing and tracing depending on your application and requirements.
What else can I pair with a scale?
Many solutions can also benefit from a scanner being added to the process. As solutions become more and more automated with barcode and RFID scanning codes built into the process, having a connected scanning solution at the scale can further enhance the process. A scanner ensures that the exact information is captured every time, further eliminating room for human error.
Which printer can support 110*60mm label printing with 10 lines?
METTLER TOLEDO's APR331 printer, APR510/APR710 printer in the US, and PQ50 printer in Asia Pacific can support 110*60mm(length*width) label printing with 10 lines of information. Contact your local Metter Toledo representative for more details.

The buzz in your pocket that never actually happened. The tingling in your thumbs. The feeling that you missing something.
These are the negative effects of mobile addiction created by Silicon Valley.
Of course, there's both sides to the table. Having a mobile phone in your pocket can make you more productive, more in touch, and more knowledgeable.
But we still need reminders to get away once in a while. Hence the rise in wellness apps to bring awareness to the damaging impact of constant connectedness on our health.
Breaks are critical. Sometimes it helps to get back to the basics. One tip is pulling out a paper and pen instead of a note-taking app. Another tip is to go for a walk phone-less.
If you're bold enough, try leaving your mobile phone at home for the day on the weekend. You'll love the Internet even more when you come back. You may even find you don't need it.
Ubiquitous Internet is the best-worst thing to happen to us. We're more socially participant and cognizant but threatening our real relationships. Time spent on the phone is time lost with a human being.
Are you achieving the right balance?
Be aware of wonder. Live a balanced life – learn some and think some and draw and paint and sing and dance and play and work every day some.Robert Fulghum

Moms and daughters gathered under the glass ceiling of the Javitz centre to watch the election results come in on Tuesday November 8, 2016. They expected history to be made.
The first female President of the United States.
Unfortunately, the metaphorical glass ceiling still stands.
What Hillary achieved shows how far we've come, but we still have work to do. As I read Slate's July article The Hillary Haters, three points struck me since the election favored Donald Trump. These three points parallel barriers I often hear from women in senior management in corporate America, and my own personal experience.
1. Humane factor – People hated Hillary for her "self riteous ideologue" and most recently for being a "corrupt toll of the establishment." Briane Greene elaborated that Hillary Clinton came off as entitled and full of herself. Joe Biden, from her own party, had similar shortcomings but was seen as more likable than Hillary at the time of the July article. The underlying problem seemed to be a lack of charisma. Hillary did not seem to have the human factor. People don't feel she likes them.
2. Americans tend to hate ambitious women with loud voices – According to Marianne Cooper, head researcher for Sheryl Sandberg's book Lean In. Women who are successful in areas that are culturally male are seen as abrasive, conniving, not trustworthy, and selfish." Often other women will say- "she's really good at her job – I just don't like her. " Although Clinton was admittedly really good at her job, many people just didn't like her. Contrast this with Trump who has little political experience, combined with equally pronounced shortcomings, but is seen as capable comparatively by his base, and given leeway to "figure it out", as male peers often are in corporate America.
3. Likability goes down when openly vying for power – According to Cooper, "When Hillary announces she's running for something, her unfavorability increases," and "When she's in a role, her favorability starts to creep up again." Whenever Hillary is not directly competing for power the sweeping dislike of her diminishes. Again this parallels corporate America.
The takeaway:
Work on branding women in leadership as humane.
Support women finding balance between being loudmouth in order to be heard "at the table", and being charismatic.
Finally, remember the natural dislike we women might have for other women vying for power and filter our bias.
Mom's and daughters (fathers , friends, and bosses), we still have work to do. We are breaking through the glass ceiling at the highest level – POTUS. In achieving this, our country stands to benefit economically – as evidenced by the the high performance of female-led companies in America.
As 30 year old millennial creator of Girls Lena Dunham put it, quoting Florynce Kennedy, "Don't Agonize, Organize."
P.S. Readers, how big a role do you think the glass ceiling played in the election?
