What the press says
about Modafinil
"It's Wake-Up Time"
"But modafinil isn't just for soldiers and sick people anymore. This year, Cephalon submitted to the FDA a supplemental application that would give physicians a free hand to prescribe Provigil for lesser sleep problems, such as shift-work drowsiness. Even without that approval, the drug is attracting a wider market: Truckers, students, and others pulling all-nighters account for a growing portion of Provigil's $200 million in annual sales." – Read article

"How Many Silicon Valley Startup Executives Are Hopped Up On Provigil?"
"Exactly what's so funny is that business owners apparently aren't interested in regular medicines– as an alternative they locate the one that gives them a psychological and also endurance advantage.

"Yet on this celebration I had no interest in signing up with the bright kids things consuming vodka from coffee mugs. This wasn't any sort of virtue on my part. It was down to a medicine: modafinil, a help to concentration. I rested at my workdesk, head in an essay. I rarely noticed the celebration till I sought out as well as saw it had completed. I had actually finished the composition as well: 2,000 words in an hour as well as a fifty percent."– Read write-up.

An article yesterday on Mass Transit Administration cutbacks gave an incorrect closing time for three subway stations. The Old Court, Reisterstown Plaza and State Center stations will close at 8 p.m. beginning Jan. 31.
The Evening Sun regrets the error.
It's official: Baltimore's mass transit systems will soon cost more to ride, but will serve fewer places less often.
The base fare on buses, Metro, and light rail will be raised by 15 cents to $1.25 from $1.10 beginning Sunday. Two weeks later, on Jan. 31, the state Mass Transit Administration will put into effect the deepest service cutback in its history, agency representatives announced yesterday.
Reduced ridership, rising costs, and a state law that requires mass transit systems to recover half their expenses from fares forced the changes, officials said.

Oh hey! Welcome to 2016 Humpday Confessions.
I confess…
that I totally missed humpday confessions for the couple weeks I was MIA. I'm glad that I took a little break though so I could enjoy the holidays.I finally got over to the Renwick Gallery. It's been closed for a couple years for renovations, but just opened up a few months ago. It only has 9 exhibits but they are all super cool! It's all about crafts and decorative arts. The building is beautiful too. If you're in the area or visiting, it's a must-see.
I went over to the Newseum for New Year's Eve and that was interesting. I've been to some other big Project DC parties for New Years eve before like the Gaylord at National Harbor and Arena Stage. This was the first year that I splurged for the VIP because the benefits were "worth it" or so I thought at the time I purchased. It bragged an early entrance, two VIP floors, VIP bars and buffets. However, we were all let in at the same time and everyone had the same access if you were VIP or not. So FYI if you're checking out their events for next year, don't buy VIP. Not worth it.
that what was worth it was my Rent the Runway dress. I had a great experience with them. And was able to fit in the smaller size that they sent me for free. Glad they sent both my normal size and an optional second size. Otherwise my dress would have been too big!
I'm half-excited, half-depressed about all my health-related goals for this year. I hope they go well but they are tough, so no more fooling around for me. Time to get my butt in gear.
I'm going to a local conference for work next week, however since I'm there for four days, they've set me up at the hotel which is awesome because the hotel is top notch! Pretty excited for the conference and also just the stay in the Gaylord hotel.
I haven't been grocery shopping in over a month.
that I'm having a discount on my ad spaces! 35% off my two biggest ad spots (in-post banner and large company) using code: NEWYEARS. Go check out all the options here. #Shamelessplug
I'm co-hosting an awesome giveaway with a few other bloggers. So enter today!
Now onto the link-up with Plucky in Love and I!
- Each Wednesday create a post about what's going on in your life and confess!
- Grab the button and include it in your post or include a text link back to the link-up.
- Link up with either me or Sarah, so we can see what you're confessing this week.
- Comment on at least one other blogger's post from the link up.
- Feel free to share on social media with the hashtag #HumpdayConfessions and I'll retweet.
- Enjoy!

Not all pumps are made equally as this homeowner experienced in her flooded basement. The original pump was doing very little to remove water from the space. AFS installed a SuperSump pump system with the addition of the back-up battery system UltraSump. WaterGuard was also installed along the perimeter of the basement walls to help direct the water to the pump. Water will no be removed effectively and efficiently from the home.
The separation between the bricks has significantly decreased as the home's foundation was raised through helical piers.
This crawl space was damp, musty and beginning to mold the wooden floor joists. Soda Blasting is an environmentally-friendly process for stripping surface contaminants like mold, paint and rust off surfaces. By soda blasting this crawl space, AFS leaves no harsh chemicals or residue in the home.
AFS helped save this home from further foundation damage by installing helical piers.
This home needed a total of five 3" piers to help level the foundation.

Jay Roach Is Making a Lance Armstrong Film, Too
Jay Roach vs. J.J. Abrams: Whose arm is stronger?
Lance Armstrong has finally joined the ranks of Truman Capote, Alfred Hitchock, Snow White, and that meteor that threatened earth in the late-nineties, as he will be the subject of two competing movies at roughly the same time. We already knew about the J.J. Abrams–produced one that's based on Juliet Macur's book Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong. Well, Deadline reports that Jay Roach is working on his own Armstrong movie, which will be written by Scott Z. Burns (Side Effects). No word yet on which will star Toby Jones.

The truth about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict"In an article published in the Washington Post of 3 October 1978, Rabbi Hirsch (of Jerusalem) is reported to have declared: 'The 12th principle of our faith, I believe, is that the Messiah will gather the Jewish exiled who are dispersed throughout the nations of the world. Zionism is diametrically opposed to Judaism. Zionism wishes to define the Jewish people as a nationalistic entity. The Zionists say, in effect, 'Look here, God. We do not like exile. Take us back, and if you don't, we'll just roll up our sleeves and take ourselves back.' 'The Rabbi continues: 'This, of course, is heresy. The Jewish people are charged by Divine oath not to force themselves back to the Holy Land against the wishes of those residing there.'" Sami Hadawi, "Bitter Harvest."
The standard Zionist position is that they showed up in Palestine in the late 19th century to reclaim their ancestral homeland. Jews bought land and started building up the Jewish community there. They were met with increasingly violent opposition from the Palestinian Arabs, presumably stemming from the Arabs' inherent anti-Semitism. The Zionists were then forced to defend themselves and, in one form or another, this same situation continues up to today.
What really happened was that the Zionist movement, from the beginning, looked forward to a practically complete dispossession of the indigenous Arab population so that Israel could be a wholly Jewish state, or as much as was possible. Land bought by the Jewish National Fund was held in the name of the Jewish people and could never be sold or even leased back to Arabs (a situation which continues to the present).
The Arab community, as it became increasingly aware of the Zionists' intentions, strenuously opposed further Jewish immigration and land buying because it posed a real and imminent danger to the very existence of Arab society in Palestine. Because of this opposition, the entire Zionist project never could have been realized without the military backing of the British. The vast majority of the population of Palestine, by the way, had been Arabic since the seventh century A.D. (Over 1200 years)
In short, Zionism was based on a faulty, colonialist world view that the rights of the indigenous inhabitants didn't matter. The Arabs' opposition to Zionism wasn't based on anti-Semitism but rather on a totally reasonable fear of the dispossession of their people.
One further point: being Jewish ourselves, the position we present here is critical of Zionism but is in no way anti-Semitic. We do not believe that the Jews acted worse than any other group might have acted in their situation. The Zionists (who were a distinct minority of the Jewish people until after WWII) had an understandable desire to establish a place where Jews could be masters of their own fate, given the bleak history of Jewish oppression. Especially as the danger to European Jewry crystallized in the late 1930's and after, the actions of the Zionists were propelled by real desperation.
But so were the actions of the Arabs. The mythic "land without people for a people without land" was already home to 700,000 Palestinians in 1919. This is the root of the problem, as we shall see.
Early History of the Region
Before the Hebrews first migrated there around 1800 B.C., the land of Canaan was occupied by Canaanites.
"Between 3000 and 1100 B.C., Canaanite civilization covered what is today Israel, the West Bank, Lebanon and much of Syria and Jordan...Those who remained in the Jerusalem hills after the Romans expelled the Jews [in the second century A.D.] were a potpourri: farmers and vineyard growers, pagans and converts to Christianity, descendants of the Arabs, Persians, Samaritans, Greeks and old Canaanite tribes." Marcia Kunstel and Joseph Albright, "Their Promised Land."

Well, Lisa, you have a great random list! I related to a few of your mentions...I'm laughing out loud as I'm sitting in my office.
(Blushes...then forgets about it and laughs) I have laughed when my kids have fallen down, too.
I have four brothers and four sisters. We are all in one another's business. I think it's a good time. It is also, however, a pain in the honey-buns - as with that many siblings, someone is always getting their hair up over something. (She's bossy. He shouldn't have bought that car. So & so never called me. Who told Mommy about - insert infamous brother's name here - citation/love-child/fender-bender/make up your own funny example...)
Oh, and I'm glad to see so many people share my Yul Brynner love...lol.

**Wait, I was going to comment on #6 about hour I married the guy I met sophomore year, but then the song whose name I don't know but whose lyrics say "You're so vain. You probably thing this song is about you." started.
So, yeah, good post. :)

Hi, Lisa,
Fun bits about you. Tagging is supposed to be a fun experience.
As for #6, do it for you. Would you enjoy going back to classes, meeting younger students, and learning new things?
I'd say it would be a fun new adventure. If I had the time I go back for my Masters. I love being surrounded by fun, bubbling, intelligent, and youthful people. They haven't been branded my life's knocks yet. I love the sparkle in their eyes. Life is just starting for them and it's nice to see that innocence and excitement brewing and waiting to flow out.

Raleigh, NC (PRWEB) March 22, 2016
Dr. Paresh Naran encourages patients with missing teeth to take advantage of National Nutrition Month by receiving dental implants in Raleigh, NC. Without the proper nutrition, patients' may not be prepared to resist oral infection, which can lead to gum disease. If gum disease is not properly treated, tooth decay and tooth loss may occur. Dr. Naran urges patients to protect their health through proper nutrition and oral care.
In order to help patients who already have missing teeth eat a variety of foods to improve their nutrition, Dr. Naran offers dental implants as an effective tooth replacement option. Although there are several options available for replacing missing teeth, many patients prefer the natural appearance, convenience and durability of dental implants in Raleigh, NC. In addition to these benefits, implants are also a highly recommended treatment option because they help protect the bone in the jaw from the deterioration that occurs when empty tooth sockets are not promptly filled. As natural stimulation caused by the tooth root decreases or desists altogether, the jaw bone begins to degrade in the area affected by tooth loss. Dental implants can help prevent this degradation from occurring, since they are placed deep within the jaw bone and mimic the stimulation provided by natural tooth roots.
Dr. Naran carefully places a titanium post into the jawbone and after sufficient time is allowed for the area to heal, a carefully crafted crown is then attached to the top. Dr. Naran takes great care to ensure the visible portion of the crown matches the color of the patient's adjacent teeth and is the proper size and shape for the empty socket.
Patients with missing teeth are invited to improve their oral health during National Nutrition Month by receiving dental implants in Raleigh, NC. A consultation may be scheduled with Dr. Naran by calling his practice and speaking with an office assistant.
About the Doctor

Who wrote the most romantic love letter of all time? It wasn't romantic poet John Keats, or Ernest Hemingway.
Ahead of Valentine's Day, a British-based poll asked online users to vote on the most romantic love letters of all time. It likely comes as no surprise to many on this side of the pond that one written by Johnny Cash was voted number one, all-time.
In 1994, for wife June Carter-Cash's 65th birthday, the Man in Black penned this heartfelt letter to the love of his life:
Happy Birthday Princess,
We got old and got used to each other. We think alike. We read each others minds. We know what the other wants without asking. Sometimes we irritate each other a little bit. Maybe sometimes we take each other for granted.
But once in a while, like today, I meditate on it and realize how lucky I am to share my life with the greatest woman I ever met.
You still fascinate and inspire me. You influence me for the better. You're the object of my desire, the #1 Earthly reason for my existence. I love you very much.
Happy Birthday Princess.
The relationship between the pair was indeed anything but storybook. As portrayed in the 2005 biopic Walk the Line, John and June fought through tumultuous previous marriages, hectic schedules, and John's one-time problem with drugs and alcohol.
Despite the odds against them, they remained married until June's death in May of 2003. John followed shortly thereafter, passing away in September of that same year.
Watch John and June perform "'Cause I Love You" together:
Winston Churchill, John Keats, Ernest Hemingway, and Napoleon Bonaparte rounded out the top five, respectively.
The poll was commissioned by British life insurance company Beagle Street to encourage people to be more romantic, according to the Daily Mail.
That survey also found that 38 percent of women asked admit they have never written a love letter, and 46 percent find the tradition to be outdated.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday, May 15, that his wife, Melania, is "doing really well," although she remains hospitalized following a medical procedure to treat a kidney condition the White House described as benign. He said he expected the first lady back home at the White House before the end of the week.
The president also praised her doctors for doing a "fantastic job."
"Melania is doing really well. She's watching us right now," Trump said as he addressed an annual tribute to law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty. The ceremony at a police memorial near the Capitol was broadcast live on cable TV.
Trump traveled to a military hospital near Washington on Monday, May 14, to visit the first lady.
Trump flew by helicopter from the White House to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, early Monday evening. He got out of the helicopter and climbed into an SUV, waving to reporters but declining to speak.
A spokeswoman for the 48-year-old first lady said the Monday morning procedure was successful and performed without complications.
The White House has not offered any additional details on the first lady's condition.
President Trump thanked everyone for their love and support.
Our great First Lady is doing really well. Will be leaving hospital in 2 or 3 days. Thank you for so much love and support!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 15, 2018

BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. recently shared a case study involving the potential use of BioVant, the company's calcium phosphate (CaP), nanoparticle-based vaccine adjuvant, in influenza virus vaccines, including H5N1 bird flu.
Dr. Steve Bell, vice president of research and pre-clinical development for BioSanta, presented the information during the Vaccine Discovery and Commercialization Conference in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania late last month. His presentation included a thorough review of data from three BioVant-adjuvanted flu vaccine pre-clinical studies using the M1 protein, H3N1 and H5N1 antigens. Results showed BioVant successfully delivered flu vaccine and boosted the body's natural immune responses to flu virus antigens.
"These CaP-influenza vaccine results suggest we have good potential to develop an adjuvant-enhanced influenza vaccine," Bell said.
Results also showed BioVant can boost flu-specific immunity and protect animals from H1N1 flu virus.
"BioVant may also permit a reduction in the needed dosage of influenza antigen, including the H5N1 antigen, which is currently in limited supply," Bell said.
BioVant is made from specially formulated calcium phosphate, a compound similar to that found in teeth and bones. BioVant has been shown in studies to be safe and cause minimal dose-dependent inflammation at the injection site.

Nikita Singh is the bestselling author of nine novels
, including
Like a Love Song
After All This Time
The Promise
, as well as a contributing author to books in The Backbenchers series. She is also the editor of the collections of short stories
25 Strokes of Kindness and The Turning Point.
Nikita was brought up in a home of voracious readers and wrote her first book at the age of nineteen, in 2011. She has been a prolific writer since. After graduating with her Bachelor of Pharmacy in 2012, she worked with publishers in Delhi as an editor and publishing manager. In 2013, she received a Live India Young Achievers Award.

Nikita writes about modern relationships in the current Indian scenario. Her books are a realistic representation of new age love — about real people, with real flaws, facing real problems. Taking off the rose-tinted glasses romance fiction hides behind, her work provide readers a raw and honest insight into the lives of Gen Y.

Special lecture: Migration consequences of complex crises
- Download the lecture (mp3 33MB)
Recent humanitarian crises, whether set off by political conflict (Libya) massive earthquake (Haiti) or extensive flooding (Pakistan) have generated large and complex population flows – whether internal or across borders – before, during and after the events triggering the emergency. Nevertheless, the migration dimensions of such crises have been insufficiently addressed, both in theory and in practice.
While the drivers of crisis-related migratory movements vary, the challenges are particularly acute where poverty, political instability, weak governance, environmental degradation and natural disasters combine. Migration in response to an extreme crisis situation is common, yet the patterns of movement are far from straightforward.
As evidenced by previous crises, initially temporary displacement may become protracted; internal movements can spill across borders; and crises and displacement situations can give rise to other forms of migration such as search for work, migration to cities, irregular and mixed movements, trafficking and smuggling. Modern-day crisis situations clearly demonstrate that whether the movements of people are gradual or spontaneous – small or large-scale – they are increasingly likely to affect individuals and groups with different levels of vulnerability and different types of needs.
In light of these present-day realities, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has sought to develop linkages between humanitarian and migration perspectives and improve its own responses to the migration consequences of complex crises. Instead of ad hoc reactions, the Organization is advocating for more systematic approaches on the part of national institutions and the international community to better manage the human mobility aspects of crisis situations.
During his visit to the University of Oxford, IOM's Director General reflected upon the nuanced and complex relationship between crises and mobility, as well as the institutional set-ups and cooperation mechanisms that can complement and strengthen existing systems aimed at providing assistance and protection to crisis-affected populations. The discussion shed light on the types of migratory patterns that can result from complex crises; the effectiveness of migration policy tools in addressing certain aspects of crisis situations; and the ways in which mobility can be used as a positive strategy toward long-term recovery of crisis affected areas.

Zujava Payment for June 2014
Zujava paid! Hooray! I made a total of $115.11 for the month of March, which was paid out in June 2014. That's $42 more than last month, I'm happy about that. I wasn't sure what to expect with Zujava, I never really know how much I made over there until payday and even then, there is no breakdown of earnings given per leaf. I have some referrals that I'm supposed to be earning 20% from but with no breakdown of earnings, it's hard to know. I'm not a fan of their system but I'm a huge fan of paydays that result in a $100 or more! Yippee! I have no idea what next month will look like - it's always a surprise at the Zu.

What's the Latest Development?
Stanford University will make more of its classes available for free through online lessons and lectures. The college will expand its educational experiment, which has already seen interest from hundreds of thousands of individuals, to include information technology and business lectures. "The new courses are Software as a Service, Computer Science 101, Machine Learning, Cryptography, Natural Language Processing, Human Computer Interaction, Design and Analysis of Algorithms I, and Probabilistic Graphic Models."
What's the Big Idea?
Technology has long made information increasingly accessible, from the printing press to Wikipedia, and now to universities themselves. Some professors are increasingly interested in making their courses available to the masses, who would not otherwise have access. It could be an economic boon: "Stanford will also be offering two online courses in Technology Entrepreneurship (how to launch a successful startup) and The Lean Launchpad (how to turn 'a great idea into a great company')."

by Joseph Grather / New Jersey Condemnation Law
The debate continues – Can government force private property owners to donate their private property for strengthening a dune system for the benefit the general public when the next superstorm hits? Not in the U. S. of A.
A recent National Public Radio program discussed the topic and interviewed property owners and government officials. Governor Christie appeared to blame the property owners: "We had municipalities who were offered this assistance and residents refused to sign the easement because they didn't want it to block their view. Well, they don't have to worry about that now. They got no house."
But despite this attempt to lay blame, a property owners' refusal to consent cannot stop a bona fide public use, such as the dune project designed by the Army Corps of Engineers.
Essentially, the government's position is two-fold. First, it suggests that dune replenishment projects were delayed because some beachfront owners did not consent to the government's effort to create or increase dunes on those owners' properties. But that position is without merit, since the government has always had the right to take those property interests by eminent domain. New Jersey is a "quick take" State and the government could obtain ownership and possession of the property it needs on an accelerated basis. So any owner's refusal has no legal bearing on whether the dunes could have been created before Sandy.
Second, the government contends that it would have been cost prohibitive to strengthen the dune system without beach-front property owners donating their private property for the public good. (Sounds more communistic than democratic). However, before the storm, the estimated cost to strengthen the dunes was $118 million. After the storm, the estimated cost of the damage:
- Insured Losses: $10 – 20 Billion
- Total Economic Damage: $30 – 50 Billion
Certainly, $118,000,000 is less than $50,000,000,000.
According to the Army Corps and the State, at least some of the damage would have been avoided had the dunes been strengthened (and not all of the estimated damages arise from damages to beach-front properties). The question is – how can government not do everything within its power to prevent the disaster from happening again?
In the end requiring owners to donate their property would be contrary to the New Jersey Constitution and the United States Constitution: "Private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation." (NJ Const. Art. I, Par. 20).
Cut down, we shall grow back stronger.
Imagine, for a moment, that the government took part of someone's private property to create a public road. In that situation, would anyone disagree that the affected property owner would be entitled to just compensation for the taking of a part of his or her property? In this dune replenishment saga, the same issues exist – the government is building the dunes on private property, taking part of the private property, to benefit all property owners. Why should the private property owners NOT be entitled to just compensation? The public benefits as a whole, so the public should be required to bear the cost, not just the affected owners.
This one promises to stick around for a while, so we'll be monitoring it as it unfolds.

The 19th annual Kentucky River Clean Sweep needs boaters and other volunteers to collect trash and debris along the 12 miles of river in Fayette County on June 19.
"Heavy spring rains, especially the first weekend in May, unfortunately leave trash and debris along the banks and even in the trees," said Susan Bush, acting commissioner of Lexington's Department of Environmental Quality. "The river sweep is our opportunity to help prepare the river area for the summer recreation season, and it takes a lot of volunteers."
The cleanup will be 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. from the Clays Ferry Boat Dock to the Valley View Ferry Dock. Volunteers should gather at Clays Ferry Boat Dock off Ky. 25 beneath the Interstate 75 overpass.
Volunteers will receive a free breakfast, a free lunch, T-shirts and gloves. Trash bags, some life vests and poles to snag litter and paper also will be provided.
At least a dozen boats are needed to transport the volunteers, who have numbered 80 or more during past cleanups. Volunteers should wear sturdy clothing, boots, long-sleeved shirts and life vests if they intend to go out on the river.
Participants younger than 18 must have a liability release signed by their parents or guardians. Release forms will be provided at registration. The event is sponsored by the Urban County Government and the Kentucky River Authority.

Opportunities for Women Graduates

Why have a special page for women graduates?
It is now almost 40 years since the Sex Discrimination Act became law, yet there are still many areas in which women graduates have yet to achieve full equality. For example:
- On average, male graduates earn 10% more than females six months after graduation (HESA)
- This pay gap continues to the highest levels: female directors earn an average basic salary of £127,257, compared to £141,946 for the average male director (Chartered Management Institute )
- One in five FTSE 100 companies have no women on the board of directors www.ft.com/cms/s/0/7c1ddf48-c20c-11e1-8e7c-00144feabdc0.html#axzz2MIk8OEmr
- Only 27% of police officers (and 13.7% of chief constables) are women (Counting Women and www.parliament.uk/briefing-papers/sn00634.pdf)
- While a third of practising barristers and almost half of practising solicitors are women, less than a quarter of the judiciary are female (Ministry of Justice). Armenia, (just under 23%) and Azerbaijan (9%) are the only European countries with fewer women judges (Council of Europe).
- In most chartered accountancy firms, fewer than 15% of the partners are female. Only three of the Top 50 firms have more than 25% female partners. and no firms have an equal proportion (Accountancy Age, 2012).
- In Government, men make up 77% of MPs, two-thirds of MEPs, 83% of Permanent Secretaries (the most senior civil servants) and 77% of local government chief executives (Counting Women)
A study has found that women are less likely to apply for vacancies that use "male" sounding words. If the vacancies used words commonly associated with men, like "assertive", "independent", "aggressive", "analytical" and "determined", the women said they found the job less appealing, and were less likely to apply. However, if the advert used words such as "dedicated", "responsible", "conscientious" and "sociable" they were more likely to think the job was for them.
- At local level, 32% of councillors, 12% of council leaders and 13% of elected mayors are female (Counting Women)
- In universities, only 17 out of the UK's 115 universities have a female Vice-Chancellor (Kent is, of course, one of these www.kent.ac.uk/about/vicechancellor) and only 20% of professors are female (Universities UK and HESA, 2012)
- Even in careers where women make up the majority of the workforce, they tend to be under-represented at senior levels. For example, 73% of teachers are female but only a third of school heads (Department for Education)
- Less than half of UK employers provide childcare support to help parents combine work with family commitments (Hay Group, 2012)
- A report for Opportunity Now, the business-led campaign for women's advancement, identified family responsibilities, perceptions of women as less committed and stereotyping about female roles and abilities as the biggest factors holding women back http://wimuk.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Barriers_to_Work1.pdf
- LinkedIn Article Four Ways Women Stunt Their Careers Unintentionally
- Becoming a mother 'makes women better at their jobs'
- Generation Y women have best skills to break glass ceiling
- Female bankers perform better than males - they take less risks and break the rules less than males
But there is some good news …
|A study by Leeds University Business School of 17,000 companies in 2008 found that having at least one female director on the board cut a company's chances of going bust by 20% and that having two or three female directors lowered the chances of bankruptcy even further!
- Female graduates have lower unemployment rates than male graduates (HECSU)
- The salary differential between graduates and non-graduates is greater for women than for men, suggesting that the possession of a degree is probably even more financially worthwhile for women.
- The percentage of women in key roles is slowly increasing: five years ago fewer than 10% of FTSE 100 companies had a woman on the board and 90% of judges were male.
- Women heading corporate departments earn more than their male counterparts
(Statistics and examples from Prospects, the Equality & Human Rights Commission, Target Jobs, the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills and the Chartered Management Institute)
However, although inequality for women remains a reality, increasing numbers of women are overcoming these barriers, smashing through the "glass ceiling" and achieving their ambitions in all kinds of organisations.
Women are often chosen as leaders in times of crisisWomen are often appointed leaders of successful companies in their critical moments. For example: the appointments of the prime minister of Sweden when the country suffered as a result of the global recession and the CEO of the Sunoco oil company, appointed when its share price dropped by half. But why does this phenomenon (called "The glass cliff"), occur?
A study conducted by Caliper2 and Aurora in 2005 found a number of characteristics that distinguish women leaders from men:
Despite these findings Susanna Bruckmüller and Nyla Branscombe (2010) noted that women often only became leaders in times of trouble because men lack the qualities to do so.

Finding positive employers
These may be employers who have strong equal opportunities policies; employers where a significant number of women have achieved senior positions or employers who have taken initiatives to offer flexible or family-friendly working.

A long time ago a government official asked my mother, "What is your occupation?"
My mother who was seeking renewal of her license seemed to be puzzled so the officer clarified, "Are you employed, do you have your own business or what?"
My mother replied, "Oh, I understand, I have a full time occupation as a mother."
Official: "I'm afraid we don't have 'mother' listed as an option for occupation- I will write it down as 'housewife'"
Years later when I went to get my license, the official was a somewhat pompous woman. "Your occupation?" she asked in an authoritative tone.
I had an inspiration and replied: "I'm a researcher in the field of child development, nutrition and inter-personal relationships."
The official stared at me in amazement.
I calmly repeated my statement and she wrote it down verbatim. Then, unable to conceal her curiosity, she politely asked, "What exactly do you do in your profession, madam?"
I was feeling good about having described my occupation so calmly and confidently so I replied, "My research projects have been going on for a number of years (mothers never retire!). My research is conducted in the laboratory as well as in the field. I have received two awards in this field (my son and daughter) and my topic is considered to be one of the most difficult parts of sociology (all mums will agree). I work more than 14 hours every day sometimes even 24 hours are not enough and the challenges are tougher than many other professions. My compensation is in terms of mental satisfaction rather than money."
I could see that the officer was impressed. After completing the licencing formalities, she came to the door to see me off and this new viewpoint about my occupation made me feel much better on my way back home.
I was welcomed by my 5 year old research assistant at the door and my new project (my 10 month old baby) was energetically practicing her 'music'. I had earned a small victory over the governmental red tape today. I was no longer 'merely a mother', instead I was now a highly placed functionary in a service vital For mankind: motherhood!

How Divorce Affects College Admissions and Tuition
Dear College Made Simple reader,
One of the topics that come up frequently with families we work with is divorce – and how it can affect the way you apply for college.
We understand this isn't an easy situation for students and parents. That's why we cut to the chase in today's story – and clearly lay out how divorce impacts college, and what students can do to reduce the emotional and financial sting of it.
– Scott
How divorce affects your FAFSA application
If your parents are divorced, you will want to use your "custodial parent's" information, which will include their financial information. The custodial parent is the parent the student lives with more than 50% of the time.
Take note – if you did not in the last 12 months – live with one parent more than 50% of the time, you will want to list the custodial parent who financially supported you the most on the FAFSA.
How do divorced parents pay for their child's college tuition?
Ideally, both parents help pay for their students' tuition after a divorce, but that of course depends on their individual finances AND the laws of the state they reside in.
A number of factors affect how they pay and when they pay. One thing that is universally known is that child custody payments cease when the child reaches their legal adult age. That age is between 18 and 21, depending on the state they live in.
Plans to pay for a child's college education are sometimes written into the divorce settlement.
Keep in mind, the definition of "college expense" can be loose or strict, depending on which side of the divorce you listening to. For example, while one parent believes it applies to only tuition, books and room and board, the other may believe it can also include spending money and gas money.
Remember, if your parents are divorced or divorcing, most – if not all – of it is out of your control. However, you ultimately control the level of your academic success, which can greatly reduce the financial strain and debate that divorce forces into the college planning process.
To your college funding & admissions success,

Fire at four-storey Bhiwandi building doused, all occupants rescued
A fire had erupted at a four-storey building, which housed a number of garment-manufacturing units, at Bhiwandi in Maharashtra's Thane district on Tuesday morning.india Updated: Apr 12, 2016 16:38 IST
A fire broke out at a four-storey building that housed a number of garment-manufacturing units, at Bhiwandi in Maharashtra's Thane district on Tuesday morning. All the 80 occupants of the building have been rescued, authorities said.
Around seven fire tenders were rushed to the spot, after which the fire was brought under control.
Bhiwandi tehsildar Vaishali Lambhate said as many as 20 people were earlier shifted to the topmost floor of the building as a precautionary measure, even as cooling operations were undertaken at its lower levels. The fire brigade used hydraulic ladders to evacuate the people trapped inside the building.
#WATCH: Thane (Maharashtra): Fire breaks out at a garment factory in Bhiwandi.Five fire engines present at the spot.https://t.co/I1FbWcdhSl— ANI (@ANI_news) April 12, 2016
Elaborating on the incident, Lambhate said the fire broke out around 7.30 am and then spread to other rooms on the ground floor. The situation was worsened by the presence of oil barrels in the rooms, he added.
According to unconfirmed reports, the blaze had occurred due to a short-circuit in the building's electric lines. "There was a sudden fire, followed by a lot of smoke. All the residents ran to the terrace," said a survivor.
Confirming that there were no casualties, Thane collector Dr Ashwini Joshi said: "It was a massive fire, and 80 people were trapped. But they have all been evacuated safely. We are investigating the cause of the fire."
