Suzy Welch: A simple quiz can help you determine if your ego is hurting your success at work

Meanwhile, Welch says, "people who swell — all they are is arrogant, which gets old fast, and thus, is usually a one-way ticket to self-destruction."
"Stars, you must make sure you're in the former category," she tells CNBC Make It . "People who grow exude a healthy self-confidence. They're learners, builders and team players, and because of that, their career tends to keep soaring."
But others respond differently to a taste of success. They act exclusively in their own interest, talk over people, and curtail others' advancement. To sum up this dilemma, bestselling management author and CNBC contributor Suzy Welch quotes her husband, former GE CEO Jack Welch: "Success makes some people grow, and it makes some people swell."
Maybe you've seen this unfold in your workplace. Some people, given more responsibility, rise to the challenge. They build new skills, take on bigger projects, and stretch themselves to meet the demands of their new role.
To help you determine which category you fall into, Welch developed the following quiz:
1. Do you spend more time thinking about…
A. Your next promotion
B. The career growth of the people who work with you
"Answer A," says Welch, "is for arrogant in this case, because arrogant people are so me, me, me." On the other hand, she says, "self-confident people are you, you, you, which, for every reason under the sun, including trust and loyalty, is better, better, better."
2. In meetings do you usually…
A. Urge subordinates or colleagues to jump in and answer questions
B. Jump in and answer every question yourself
If you're someone who loves the sound of your own voice, Welch says, "that's a surefire red flag that you are too focused on yourself."
3. If someone on your team is smarter than you are, do you think…
A. How great!
B. How annoying
"Self-confident people love being around those who expand their thinking and up the performance bar for everyone," says Welch. Meanwhile, arrogant people "don't think anyone is smarter than they are, and it bugs them that other people do."
As a result, she says, "instead of listening to their intelligent teammates, they try to shut them down or shove them out," which is, ultimately, "team killing and self-defeating."
Though this type of personal analysis can be challenging, Welch emphasizes that it's essential to your future professional success. And arrogance, she says, isn't actually all that difficult to unlearn.
After all, "it's all in your head."

But at least one thing is evident: As businessman Perot was successful. Perot founded his first company, Electronic Data Systems, at age 32 in 1962 with just $1,000 in savings. He became a billionaire at 58 when General Motors bought a controlling interest in his company in 1984 for $2.4 billion. After Perot sold Electronic Data Systems, he established Perot Systems in 1998 and became an angel investor for NeXT, a computer company founded by Steve Jobs after he left Apple.

Billionaire and two-time presidential candidate Ross Perot, who died on Tuesday at the age of 89, has been called everything from the epitome of the "entrepreneurial spirit and the American creed," by former President George W. Bush, to "frightening" and "short-tempered" by fellow politicians during his presidential runs in '90s.
On Tuesday, one referred to him as "a stick of dynamite in the pond of U.S. politics back in 1992," while The New York Times called him "brash," and a "wiry Texas gadfly." And a friend of Perot's simply referred to him as "a Boy Scout who knows how to street fight," according to the Dallas News.
But at least one thing is evident: As businessman Perot was successful.
Perot founded his first company, Electronic Data Systems, at age 32 in 1962 with just $1,000 in savings. He became a billionaire at 58 when General Motors bought a controlling interest in his company in 1984 for $2.4 billion. After Perot sold Electronic Data Systems, he established Perot Systems in 1998 and became an angel investor for NeXT, a computer company founded by Steve Jobs after he left Apple. Over the years, Perot grew his net worth to more than $4 billion, according to Forbes, making him the 167th richest person in the U.S. at the time of his death.
According to his 1996 memoir, "My Life & the Principles for Success," these are three tenants Perot lived by that helped him achieve success.

At 63, Bill Gates says he now asks himself these 3 questions that he wouldn't have in his 20s
For Bill Gates, it's an "end-of-year assessment" of his personal and work life — a tradition that he says dates back to his childhood. "Some people think it is corny, but I like it," the Microsoft co-founder wrote in a 2018 blog post. Gates also noted how different his assessment looks today, at age 63, than it did in his 20s. Of course, Gates still assesses the quality of his work, but he also asks himself a whole set of other questions about his life. If you don't have your own metric of succe

We all have our own ways of measuring success in life, and they may shift as we grow older. For Bill Gates, it's an "end-of-year assessment" of his personal and work life — a tradition that he says dates back to his childhood. "Some people think it is corny, but I like it," the Microsoft co-founder wrote in a 2018 blog post. Gates also noted how different his assessment looks today, at age 63, than it did in his 20s. "Back then, an end-of-year assessment would amount to just one question: Is Microsoft software making the personal-computing dream come true?" he wrote. Of course, Gates still assesses the quality of his work, but he also asks himself a whole set of other questions about his life. "These would have been laughable to me when I was 25, but as I get older, they are much more meaningful." Our year is more than halfway over, folks. Perhaps you've accomplished more than you expected to. Or maybe you feel you haven't done enough, and would like to push yourself some more. No matter what your journey has been like, now is the perfect time to pause and reflect on how 2019 has shaped you so far. If you don't have your own metric of success, it's worth starting with the three questions Gates asked himself at the end of 2018:
1. 'Did I devote enough time to my family?'
Money can buy you many things, but it can't buy you an extra minute in the day. Even with a busy schedule, Gates makes time for his family. In an interview with The Cut, Gates' wife Melinda revealed that she and her husband share a favorite pastime: Binge-watching PBS' "Victoria" together. "If we're in separate locales, we'll agree to both watch the same episode at the same time so we're caught up with each other," she said. And earlier this year, Melinda told Business Insider's editor-in-chief that back when her husband was CEO of Microsoft, he spent a few mornings each week driving their oldest daughter, Jennifer, to school. "Bill and the kids cherished those moments in the car," she said. "Listening to music together, the conversations over many years that they had — it's a side of him that they might not have seen otherwise. It would've been a missed opportunity."
2. 'Did I learn enough new things?'
Gates might have dropped out of Harvard in 1975, but he has still maintained an incredible appetite for learning. In an interview with The New York Times, Gates said that he reads up to 50 books each year: "It's one of the chief ways that I learn, and has been since I was a kid." He continued, "These days, I also like to visit interesting places, meet with scientists and watch a lot of lectures online. But reading is still the main way that I both learn new things and test my understanding."
These [questions] would have been laughable to me when I was 25, but as I get older, they are much more meaningful. Bill Gates
Lifelong learning is essential for continuous growth, success and happiness — and there has never been a better time to practice it. As Gates wrote in a 2017 article for TIME, "When I wanted to learn something outside of school as a kid, cracking open my World Book encyclopedia was the best I could do. Today, all you have to do is go online."
3. 'Did I develop new friendships and deepen old ones?'

How billionaire Ray Dalio used 'mantra' meditation to come back from financial ruin
At the age of 12, billionaire Ray Dalio bought his first stock for less than $5 a share with money he made while caddying in Queens, New York. Now more than 57 years later, Dalio has a net worth of $16.9 billion. "I was so broke, I had borrow $4,000 from my dad to help pay for family bills," Dalio says. Weeks later, the Fed made rate cuts, propelling the markets even more, causing Dalio to lose everything. "As a result of being wrong, I lost money for me, I lost money for my clients, I had to le

At the age of 12, billionaire Ray Dalio bought his first stock for less than $5 a share with money he made while caddying in Queens, New York.
"I got lucky, because the company was about to go broke, but some other company acquired it and it tripled, and I thought the game was easy, and so that's what I got hooked on," Dalio says during an episode of the Business Insider podcast, "This is Success" Friday.
His $300 investment into Northeast Airlines turned into $900, which made him a profit of $600 before he headed into the 7th grade in 1962.
Now more than 57 years later, Dalio has a net worth of $16.9 billion. Not to mention, he is one of the most influential figures in the world of finance as founder world's largest hedge fund — Bridgewater Associates, which has $160 billion in assets under management.
However, it wasn't a straight shot to success for Dalio.
In 1982, seven years after launching Bridgewater out of his two-bedroom New York City apartment, he made a bad bet that wiped him out financially — and spiritually.
"I was so broke, I had borrow $4,000 from my dad to help pay for family bills," Dalio says.
Dalio, then 33, was certain that the stock market and economy were about to go down (as a result of Mexico defaulting on its debt). Instead the U.S. economy and markets soared. Weeks later, the Fed made rate cuts, propelling the markets even more, causing Dalio to lose everything.
"As a result of being wrong, I lost money for me, I lost money for my clients, I had to let everybody in my company go," he says.
And while he describes that time as "very painful," he says the experience was the "best thing " that ever happened to him because it forced him change his mindset.

Sen. Amy Klobuchar lambasted President Donald Trump's record on lowering prescription drug prices during Wednesday' night's Democratic primary debate, but an analysis from RX Savings Solutions shows the presidential candidate overstated Trump's lack of success.
The Minnesota senator slammed Trump for failing to deliver on his promise to lower prescription drug prices, and for permitting what she called "giveaways" to pharmaceutical companies.
"The president literally went on TV, on Fox, and said that people's heads would spin when they see how much he would bring down pharmaceutical prices," Klobuchar said from Miami, Florida. "Instead, 2,500 drugs have gone up in double-digits since he came into office. Instead, he gave $100 billion in giveaways to the pharma companies."
However, the number of drug price increases of 10% or more since Trump entered office is actually closer to 1,596, according to Michael Rea, a clinical pharmacist and founder of Rx Savings Solutions. Rea, analyzing public disclosures of price increases, said that number also includes price increases for the same drug in different doses and package sizes.
Carlie Waibel, a spokesperson for Klobuchar's campaign, pointed CNBC to an Op-Ed from former Acting CMS Administrator Andy Slavitt, who linked to a report from industry group Pharmacy Benefit Consultants on price hike increases.
Spending on prescription drugs in the U.S. increased 0.4% in 2017 to $333.4 billion, according to the latest data from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. High prescription drug costs have become a rare bipartisan issue with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle demanding changes. Trump has made lowering prices one of the key issues of his administration as health care remains a top issue for voters in the 2020 elections.
During the debate, Democratic candidates also pledged to make opioid companies criminally liable and clashed over "Medicare for All," which calls for eliminating private health insurance and replacing it with a universal Medicare plan.

If you want success, 'be unapologetic about your ambitions': Career advice from top marketing chiefs
This approach helped her become chief marketing officer at Mondelez, before joining media and marketing consultancy MediaLink in 2017. Discussing her personal life in the office has only helped her, but like de Pablos, she initially shied away from doing so.

Dana Anderson, chief transformation officer at MediaLink, speaks at an event in New York in September 2014, in her former role as a senior vice president at Mondelez.
The world's top marketing executives gathered at the Cannes Lions ad conference last week to discuss where they were spending their advertising dollars and compete to win a coveted Lion award. They also issued a few words of career advice, from the benefits of being yourself at work to showing your ambition off. CNBC took time to talk with some of the world's leading marketing executives.
Berta de Pablos, chief category officer, Mars Wrigley
'If everybody else is thinking like you, then they don't need you' M&M's, Snickers and Skittles make up part of the multi-billion-dollar business that Berta de Pablos helps to oversee at Mars. She's an advocate for bringing her personality to work, having written about how, as a young woman, she hid her Spanish heritage after a manager told her she would never "make it" because of how she spoke and dressed. De Pablos was 25 at the time and took it to heart, changing her appearance and restricting her views because she wanted to fit in. Three years later, a woman she was supposed to be mentoring suggested that she was hard to get to know, causing de Pablos to have a rethink.
Berta de Pablos, chief category officer at Mars Wrigley Mars
"It's about making sure that you really know yourself … and find your inner strength," she told CNBC. This links to having a diverse team around you, she added. "The other thing that has worked for me — and when I have not done it, it has gone horribly wrong — is when I don't listen to others. So when I think that I have all the answers … I actually found that the best answers are from talking to people, from talking to the experts and having a very diverse group of people that are surrounding me, diverse in thinking, diverse in origin, diverse in culture, upbringing." "So again, just to surround yourself with people that are not like you … If everybody else is thinking like you, then they don't need you."
Dana Anderson, chief transformation officer, MediaLink
'The value of what you bring is not always connected to your billings or your revenue' Dana Anderson has had "so many different jobs," from writing scripts for commercials to being a project manager in ad agencies, where she had responsibility for bringing money in. But it was her switch to the role of "planner," a job that involves thinking about marketing strategy, which set her up for the rest of her career.

Working at ad agency J Walter Thompson (now Wunderman Thompson), a colleague convinced her to become a planner, but she was "petrified" because she would no longer have financial responsibility, she told CNBC. "(Strategic) planning … taught me that the value of what you bring is not always connected to your billings or your revenue … you can bring incredible value … if you make your company and your client make strides and have insights," she said. This approach helped her become chief marketing officer at Mondelez, before joining media and marketing consultancy MediaLink in 2017. Her second piece of advice is to be generous with your time. "A woman came up to me … that I did not remember. And she said I just want to thank you for the time that you spent with me three years ago and you told me, don't let your job decide if you're going to have children. She said, I had a child, I'm so happy and I just want you to know … We spent time together and had that conversation (and) I didn't expect anything back."
Andrea Mallard, chief marketing officer, Pinterest
'I continually refer to my personal life and that's only made me more successful at work' In 2013, Andrea Mallard posted a very personal essay on Medium, titled "Death. Dying. Design. What I Learned Watching My Mother Die." In it, she wrote about her mother's last days and how her care could have been improved. She referred to IDEO, the Palo Alto design consultancy she worked for at the time, and how healthcare could be better designed for the dying and their families.
Andrea Mallard, Chief Marketing Officer at Pinterest Pinterest
Speaking to CNBC about her current role as CMO of Pinterest (she joined in November 2018) Mallard said she increasingly brought her personal self to work. "The decision to take the job at Pinterest was a decision to go even deeper and trying to link my personal life with my work life … The only currency that matters to me — and I think should matter to most people — are time and meaning, " she said. Discussing her personal life in the office has only helped her, but like de Pablos, she initially shied away from doing so. "And now I've gone completely the other direction, which is to continually refer to my personal life, to reference my home life, the things that I value that matter. And that's only made me more successful at work."
Lisa Utzschneider, chief executive officer, Integral Ad Science
'Be unapologetic about your career ambitions and the more success you will have' Lisa Utzschneider has a tough job. She is the chief executive of Integral Ad Science (IAS), one of the companies tasked with making sure advertising does not appear next to inappropriate content on YouTube and other sites, and that online ads are seen by humans rather than bots.

Earlier in her career, Utzschneider spent six years at Amazon when advertising on the site was in its infancy. What she learnt at Amazon was to get comfortable with ambiguity, because everything was new. "At IAS … there's a hunger for being able to build the business together and being comfortable with ambiguity and not having a playbook and comfort with being handed a marker, going to (a) whiteboard and figuring out how to build our verification business together," she told CNBC. Her advice for someone starting out? "Be unapologetic about your career ambitions and the more success you will have."

Muhammad Ali throws a left hook at Trevor Berbick at the Queen Elizabeth Sports Centre on December 11, 1981 in Nassau, Bahamas.
Boxing legend Muhammad Ali reached GOAT status (aka, the greatest of all time) before Michael Jordan could bounce a basketball and before Tom Brady was born. Ali captured three heavyweight titles over his career and was an Olympic gold medalist, accumulating earnings of around $60 million, which not only changed the economics of the sport but paved the way for other athletes' earning potential. At the time of his death in 2016 at age 74, Ali had an estimated net worth of $80 million, according to Forbes. But at home with his nine children, Ali was simply known as Dad.

Laila Ali, Ali's eighth child (her mom is Ali's third wife Veronica Porche Ali), is now 41, a mother of two and a former world champion boxer in her own right. Though Ali wasn't one to give Laila advice, she says she gleaned a lot from watching him succeed. Here are three lessons she learned from her dad.

You have to follow your passion
Though Muhammad Ali wasn't the reason Laila became a fighter, he demonstrated to her that it was imperative to go after what felt most natural. "One of the things that I learned [from Dad] early on is that you have to find your passion and you got to follow your heart," Ali tells CNBC's Make It. Laila was originally a manicurist, but when she saw a women's boxing match on television for the first time, something clicked. "I mean, they walked out of the ring with blood all over them and everything, and I was like, 'That's for me! I want to do that," Ali told Oprah.com.
How to be a champion
Laila also learned from her dad that everything you pursue — whether you have a passion for it or not — is going to be a challenge, so embrace it. "You have to be dedicated and consistent because a lot of people say they want this or that but they are not really ready to do the hard work that it takes," Laila says. For example, Ali actually told Laila that boxing wasn't for women. He said, "What are you going to do if you get knocked down in the ring and the whole world is watching?" according to an essay Laila wrote for Fatherly in 2017. "I said, 'I'll do what you did and get back up.'" Despite his disapproval, Ali still attended most of his daughter's fights, and Laila retired undefeated in 2007 with a 24-0 record and several of world champion titles of her own. "There's going to be failures and setbacks," Laila tells CNBC Make It, "but you have to learn how to push through them because there's always a lesson in every setback." "If it was easy to be a champion, everybody would be one," she says.
What's really important in life
Ali was born in 1942 to middle-class parents in Louisville, Kentucky, and even with his success, business wasn't really his thing, according to Laila. "When people who aren't used to having money, get money, it is important to know the basics like paying your taxes, to who's on your payroll, to simply knowing the things that are investing your money in," she says. So even though he wasn't a keen businessman, he did teach her one important thing about money: "It's not about how much money you have, it's thinking about how we can make this world a better place," she told CNBC last year. In fact, Laila said being inspired by her father's philanthropy was his greatest gift to her.

After his boxing career, Ali became heavily involved in public service traveling the world to help disadvantaged people and promote religious, racial and economic equality. In 1998, Ali, who battled Parkinson's disease, began working with Michael J. Fox (who also has Parkinson's) to raise awareness about the disease and to help fund research to find a cure. In 2005, Ali was honored with the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President George W. Bush. Laila says her father's philanthropy is one of the reasons she has been committed to working with Feeding America and Undeniably Dairy as a spokesperson to fight childhood hunger.

Cuckoo is a bird of the Cuculidae family.
The scientific name of Cuckoo is cuculus canorus.
There are in all 54 species of cuckoo that can be found in the Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia.
Only 2 of 54 cuckoo species live in Europe.
Cuckoo mostly inhabits open areas, such as marshes, meadows and fields.
Cuckoos are birds of the medium size. They can reach 12 to 14 inches in length and weight up to 60 gms.
You distinguish males and females by the color of their feathers. Upper parts of the males are bluish to gray, and their white bellies are intersected with dark lines. Females have buff colored breast with dark lines.
Cuckoos are named after the sound which they produce: 'cuck-oo'.
Amazingly only one cuckoo species called Common cuckoo is able to produce this sound. Other species communicate by producing different types of sounds.
In fact, characteristic 'cuck-oo' sound is produced only by males. Females produce bubbling sound, which resembles the sound of the water that is running out of the tub after removing the plug.
Cuckoo feeds on insects and its favorite food is hairy caterpillar.
Cuckoo travels to Africa each September to avoid cold periods and lack of food during the winter in temperate areas of Europe and Asia.
Most amazingly although cuckoo spends almost nine months in Africa, it never sings while there.
Cuckoo does not build its own nests using nests of other birds to lay her own eggs.
Amazingly more than 120 species of birds can be tricked to raise young cuckoos as their own chicks, but 90% of cuckoo's eggs are laid in the nests of reed warbler, meadow pipit and dunnock birds.
20% of cuckoo's eggs will be recognized as foreign eggs and eliminated from the nest by other birds.
Female cuckoo lays one egg in each nest laying between 12 and 22 eggs per season in different nests. This cunning tactic of being brood parasite allows for more young cuckoos to be reared by 'foster parents' than would otherwise be possible. Often the cuckoo outgrows foster parents size.
Female cuckoo closely observes routine and behavior of other birds to make sure that it's eggs hatch before other eggs so that the young cuckoos gain advantage over other chicks for food.
Young cuckoos do not tolerate other eggs or chicks in their nest. They are very aggressive toward other chicks in the nest and they will often remove them from the nest as soon as they hatch.
When they are several weeks old, young cuckoos are ready to fly to Africa. Most amazingly juveniles migrate several weeks later than their real parents, yet they can still find their way to the regular wintering area despite never having visited it before.
One of the Cuckoo's distinguishing behavioral traits is that it prefers to exist in solitude. It will never be spotted in pairs or flying in groups.
Migrating north from Africa, the first male common cuckoos reach Europe in mid-April.
The best time to hear a cuckoo is during most evenings between mid-April and June.
Cuckoos live less than six years in the wild.

Q: Inserting multiple column value in a single value with breaklines How can I insert multiple values of a column in a single value with newlines. for example i have three rows for a column called filename as F1,F2,F3 in three different rows. i want to keep this in single value of column as F1/nF2/n/F3
example
jobname       filename
daily          F1.txt
daily          F2.txt
daily          F3.txt

desired output
jobname       filename

daily          F1.txt
               F2.txt
               F2.txt

A: Try this. This query will return data as per your desired output. SO you can use this query for insertion.
select distinct t.[jobname],
  STUFF((SELECT distinct ' ' + t1.filename
         from tablename t1
         where t.[jobname] = t1.[jobname]
            FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE
            ).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)')
        ,1,2,'') filename
from tablename t;

Resume Bias: Gender, Names, Ethnicity [2021 Study]
Bart Turczynski
One of the first steps during a job hunt is to submit a resume – with your name at the top in big, bold letters. While your work experience and education are the qualities you hope will stand out, there is still a possibility that hiring managers hold on to some biases and mentally rate candidates based on their names alone.
We surveyed hiring managers to see if there was any gender bias present when they looked over our sample resumes (which were identical in every aspect other than the applicants' names), so we could pinpoint which applicants were more likely to get an interview. Let's take a look to see what we found out.
By the Name
First, we checked which names of our theoretical applicants were the likeliest to receive a callback from a hiring manager. Malik Washington had the highest percentage of hiring managers who said they were likely to call for an interview, while Destiny Washington had the lowest percentage. The name with the largest percentage of hiring managers who said they were unlikely to call was Jose Vazquez.
We looked into the reasons Destiny wouldn't get a callback. The No. 1 reason cited by our respondents was her lack of education, although everyone had the same resume except for the name.
It's a Matter of Sex
Next, we looked at the gender of the applicants and how that affected their chances of getting a callback from a hiring manager. Our carefully chosen gender-neutral name, Casey Smith, was less likely (80 percent) to merit a call than applicants with female names (82 percent) or male names (84 percent).
Those hiring managers who didn't think Casey deserved a callback said it was because the applicant lacked experience. Again, all our resumes had the same information – it was just the names that differed.
Does a Callback Depend on the Manager's Gender?
Next, we analyzed the data to see if hiring managers' gender factored into the decision to call an applicant or toss their resume aside. Hiring managers seemed to prefer the opposite sex when making hiring decisions. In other words, men were slightly more likely to call female applicants, and women were somewhat more likely to call male applicants.
When we broke it down by name, there was more of a disparity in some cases, but for some applicants, it was pretty close for male and female hiring managers. For example, women were far more likely to call Malik Washington (93 percent) than men (84 percent), while both were equally likely to call Destiny Washington (79 percent of and 78 percent of men would call her back).
There were a few names that really stood out as differences among hiring managers. The most polarizing name in our job applicant pool was the gender-neutral Casey Smith. Ninety percent of female hiring managers stated they were likely to call him or her for an interview, but only 71 percent of men said the same.
Some percentages were a lot closer than that, however. Seventy-eight percent of men and 79 percent of women would be likely to give Destiny a call. Eighty-three percent of male hiring managers and 84 percent of female hiring managers said they'd likely give Emily Schmitt a call.
As much as we'd like to think that our professional experience, education, and skill set are what pop out to hiring managers, our survey reveals this doesn't always happen. It was a little shocking to have some of our respondents say outright that they would not consider an applicant, and it was also insightful to see the biases that were present when our respondents viewed the same resumes, with the only difference being the name at the top of the document. While many people are taking strides to eliminate gender biases, it may be true that some are so ingrained people may not realize they carry these presumptions until they're highlighted.
https://www2.census.gov/topics/genealogy/2010surnames/surnames.pdf
https://surnames.behindthename.com/name/schmitt
Methodology and Limitations
We collected responses from 910 participants from Amazon's Mechanical Turk. Only respondents who said one of their responsibilities at their job in the past year included hiring were allowed to take the survey. Eighty-one percent of these employees involved in hiring were white or Caucasian, 7 percent said they were black or African-American, 6 percent said they were Hispanic, and 6 percent said they were Asian or Asian-American. Fifty-three percent were men, and 47 percent were women.
The first names of the fictitious job applicants were based on the most popular names in Georgia's Online Analytical Statistical Information System (OASIS) in 1997. The gender-neutral name was chosen based on the BabyNames1000 listing for the most popular gender-neutral names from 1997. Last names came from the Demographic Aspects of Surnames From Census 2000 on Table 2.
The survey shown to each hiring manager was done through random assignment. Every resume had an 11.12 percent chance of being shown to a hiring manager. Because it was random, resumes were not shown the same number of times. The breakdown was:
Malik Washington
Total number of hiring managers: 117
Hiring managers' gender breakdown:
Men: 62
Women: 55
Hiring managers' race/ethnicity breakdown:
White or Caucasian: 95
Asian or Asian-American: 10
Black or African-American: 7
Hispanic: 5
Asian or Asian-American: 9
Black or African American: 11
Multiracial or Biracial: 3
Jose Vazquez
Black or African American: 8
Hispanic: 10
William Schmitt
American Indian or Alaskan Native: 1
Gabriela Vazquez
Total number of hiring managers: 95
Emily Schmitt
Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander: 1
Tina Wu
Destiny Washington
Christopher Wu
Each person with hiring responsibilities saw one resume. They were presented with a job listing for which the applicant was applying.
Every resume was nearly identical apart from each applicant's name and email address, which only differed by the name of the job applicant.
Because there was no set quota for how many hiring managers from each race or ethnicity would see each of the resumes, one resume may have been reviewed by more people than others. For example, eight Asian or Asian-American hiring managers saw Gabriela Vazquez's resume, but 12 saw Destiny Washington's. Because the resume that each hiring manager saw was random, the total number of reviews each resume received varied.

I'm in a slump. A big ole slump. It feels like my days are going by too quickly and at the end of them I don't have much to show for myself. It's been pretty stressful for me, but I need to keep my energy up and positivity a-flowin'.
Now, I don't have a lot of money to spend on mani-pedis, rounds of shots, movie tickets, spa days, and other super fun activities like that, so I've come up with a list of things that I can do at home, fo free, that will make me feel pretty darn good! I'm going to force myself to do all of them this week so I can keep my spirits up and stress levels low, and maybe you'll want to join in on the list or make you own! Everyone needs one, tbh.

A Commission with Project Arts Centre, Dublin.
Isla Blue was commissioned for Active Archive – Slow Institution – The Long Goodbye a research project by Lívia Paldi, Curator of Visual Arts, Project Arts Centre, Dublin. This initiative was devised as an exploration of the art centre's history of programming. Between 1998 and 1999, Valerie Connor had curated an Off Site visual arts programme produced by Project Arts Centre during the redevelopment of the building at its current address. Valerie Connor was invited by Lívia Paldi to reflect on the purpose of Off Site, and in-turn, Valerie invited me to consider the nature of this programme through a present-day prism.
During my time working on this commission, I visited the locations in Dublin city centre where much of the Off Site programme had transpired and responded to those places as they are now. Inspired by the spirit of Off Site and its ability as a programme to unfold in both a nomadic and structured manner, I engaged with these places, those events, that history and the city through a contemporary lens. In early 2019, the gallery at Project Arts Centre was transformed into a workspace, where documents relating to its archives and history were shared and examined, giving cause to new conversations and connections to emerge. Isla Blue formed part of this exhibition, along with contributions of film and video material by Brian Hand, sculptural works by Tanad Williams and and field recordings made in Dublin by Fergus Kelly.
Works which informed Isla Blue were presented in 5 individual folios and released at 3 different stages throughout the shows duration.
Release Dates: (Folio 1 - 14/02/2019) (Folios' 2 & 3 - 28/02/2019) (Folios' 4 & 5 - 14/03/2019)

Following on the heels of the highly entertaining Brothers on the Bashkaus and the renowned self-help instructional manual Outdoor Parents, Outdoor Kids, comes the newly released Ultimate Canoe and Kayak Adventures, by PaddlingLife.net founder and editor Eugene Buchanan.
Marking the third full-length book by the former editor of Paddler magazine and contributing editor to Canoe & Kayak magazine, Buchanan brings to life 100 of the best places to paddle in the world in this new work published by Wiley Nautical (Fernhurst Books Limited) last fall.
Ultimate Canoe and Kayak Adventures: 100 Extraordinary Paddling Experiences (co-authored by Jason Smith and James Weir) is available in paperback and e-book for $34.95. The stunningly illustrated compilation of canoeing and kayaking hot spots around the globe offers something for everyone — from the whitewater junkie to the extreme sea kayaker.
Adventures cover every sort of paddling from mountain chasms, gentle rivers and lakes, crashing surf, dramatic coasts and the oceans beyond. Paddle from the frozen wastes of Alaska to the tropical rivers of South America. Explore the rivers and seas of Europe and visit the stunning waters of the Far East and Australasia. Striking full-page color pictures are matched with lively descriptions; there's also information telling you how, where and when to try each one for yourself.
A member of New York's Explorer's Club, Buchanan's works have appeared in Men's Journal, National Geographic Adventure, Outside, Sports Afield, Skiing and other publications. Jason Smith is editor of Canoe & Kayak UK, Britain's best-selling paddlesports magazine. Smith is an active paddler and challenges the huge rapids of some of the world's biggest whitewater rivers. James Weir explores and competes all over the world and he has represented Great Britain in whitewater canoeing and currently represents Switzerland.
"Being able to compile 30-some years of personal paddling adventures into one book was a blast for me," Buchanan said from his home base in Steamboat Springs, Colo. "Working with Jason [Smith] and James [Weir] was a real honor and I think together the three of us really nailed it."
Brothers on the Bashkaus: A Siberian Paddling Adventure (2007, fulcrumbooks.com) is a story of Buchanan's trip to Russia with four other American adventurers as part of the first-ever W.L. Gore Shipton/Tilman Grant applied to a river expedition, in 1994.
"Being able to share some of the experiences I've had, both in extreme adventures, and also raising my two girls as adventurers themselves, is the most rewarding part about doing these books," Buchanan said.

The nation's fifth-busiest airport will get about half of its electricity from the sun – and it isn't costing Denver International Airport or the city of Denver a dime up front. The two-megawatt system will supply half the power needed to run the airport's shuttle between terminals and is projected to cut the airport's carbon emissions by 5 million pounds a year.
WorldWater & Solar Technologies designed and will build the two-megawatt solar energy system at DIA, which serves almost 50 million passengers annually. Instead of paying for construction costs, DIA has signed a long-term power purchase agreement with MMA Renewable Ventures, which will finance the construction project.
Upon its completion, the photovoltaic system is expected to generate 3.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean electricity annually at DIA and support Denver's commitment to environmental sustainability by reducing carbon emissions into the atmosphere by more than five million pounds each year.
The ground-mounted tracking solar array system will be located at the entrance to the main terminal.
What I wonder is, if a 2-megawatt system can provide half the airport's electricity needs – why aren't they building a 4-megawatt system?

A fairly obvious statement, yet the figures suggest that 354 million trips were made on the Sustrans' network in 2007, a near five per cent increase. Of those trips, half the journeys were made by bike. According to a release on the Sustrans website, had these journeys taken place by car some 232 million litres of fuel would have had to have been purchased, costing roughly £269 million. The environmental impact of these journeys would have been equivalent to 450,000 tonnes of CO2.
Malcolm Shepherd, Sustrans' CEO is pleased to see the increasing number of trips made: "Despite 2007's wet summer this is the eighth year in succession that usage has risen and with around one in ten cyclists on the Network being new or returning to cycling it shows that the UK's appetite for healthy, environmentally responsible travel is increasing. We are delighted that people are using the routes for all sorts of reasons, from taking the children to school, to getting to work, to enjoying their leisure time."
The Sustrans' Change Your World campaign is playing a large part in the uptake of cycling. The scheme encourages people to seek alternative forms of transport to the car.
If everyone made one less car journey a week then car traffic would be reduced by ten per cent.
Many organisations and local authorities joined Sustrans in the campaign, including, Good Energy, I Count, The Association of Cycle Traders, The Council for National Parks, The Big Green Switch, Chain Reaction Cycles, Madison, Liftshare, Halfords, the Woodland Trust, the Caravan Club, Centro (Network West Midlands) and Abel & Cole. And last weekend's Glastonbury Festival also encouraged a changed world with hundreds of festival goers-making a pledge to swap.

The Rights Respecting School Award (RRSA), recognises achievement in putting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) at the heart of a school's planning, policies, practice and ethos. A rights-respecting school not only teaches about children's rights but also models rights and respect in maintaining relationships between teachers, parents and pupils.
We are very pleased and proud to have been awarded our Level 2 award on June 26th 2017. This achievement is due to the brilliant work of the children, staff and the RRSA steering group.
To achieve the UNICEF UK Rights Respecting School Award, schools are required to implement four evidence-based standards.
• Rights-respecting values underpin leadership and management
• The whole-school community learns about the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child
• The school has a rights-respecting ethos
• Children are empowered to become active citizens and learners.
Full accreditation is achieved by an external assessment process, whereby evidence is collated to show that the four standards have been met. To help your school implement the RRSA effectively, it has been broken down into three stages. Your school's initial commitment to final assessment at Level 2 can take up to four years.
Recognition of Commitment
The headteacher and school leaders have committed to becoming a right-respecting school. Children and young people work alongside adults to decide how to develop a whole-school rights-respecting approach. The school submits electronic evidence to show the development of a baseline and action plan.
The school implements the action plan and makes good progress towards embedding the values and principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into its ethos and curriculum. Assessors visit the school to accredit progress.
The school has fully embedded the values and principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child into its ethos and curriculum across all areas of the school. Assessors visit the school to establish that the Convention is embedded.
What impact does it have?
On the school
• RRSA is not an initiative, but instead provides an overarching set of values that improve the climate for learning and within which other initiatives can sit
• A deeper and more cohesive way of working
• Improved relationships with pupils and a reduced hierarchical divide between staff and pupils, due to a common rights-respecting language.
On children
• Improved self esteem and feelings of being valued and listened to
• Increased levels of respect for each other, leading to improved relationships with other pupils and with staff
• A sense of security as rights-respecting language and behaviour is used consistently throughout the school
• Improved attainment and attendance, and a reduction in exclusions
• An understanding and respect of religions, cultures, beliefs and abilities different to their own
• A wider and deeper understanding of the world in which they live.
On adults
• Strengthened collaborative working
• Increased consultative approach with other adults and pupils
• A sense of ownership in developing an approach that meets the needs and aspirations of the school as a whole
• A sense that the whole school is working towards a common goal, leading to feelings of empowerment for both staff and pupils
• A platform is developed for parental engagement and discussion.

UNCRC Summary Version
At both schools, we have held Rights Events, so that parents could come and learn about the CRC, and the work we have been doing towards achieving Level one of the Rights Respecting Schools Award. The children from Class 2 and Class 3 really enjoyed showing off their work, and talking about what we have been doing in school, there was also work on display from Class 1 and Nursery. The afternoon was a great success, with many parents attending.
Rights Event
We wrote letters to Edward Timpson, the Children's Minister about becoming a Right's Respecting School. We told him about which rights we thought were particularly important, which we had been learning about and even asked him about his favourite right! He recorded a video to thank the schools that wrote to him so North Petherwin got a mention! We are very proud of this.

At North Petherwin, we have Peer Mediators who work on the playground at playtimes and lunchtimes, helping children to solve any disagreements that they may have with other children. The Peer Mediators help to make sure that all of the children respect each others right to play (article 31), and right to stay safe (article 19). We are hoping to train some of the children at Werrington to become Peer Mediators, soon.

Last month, I was fortunate enough to have been able to interview Kevin Breel, a comic who travels across the US to share his story about struggling with mental illness. One of the most vexing things he said that night of his performance was in response to me asking him why schools choose to focus intensively on bullying and stress (and their repercussions) but not so much on the topic of mental health.
"[…] [Mental illness] is something that's like, 'Oh you're the problem? That doesn't seem right.' […] For this, it comes down to the individual person, and his struggle," he responded.
At the time, I just recorded his reply down, and that was that. However, thinking back to what he said, I have come to realize that my high school community is not focusing on mental awareness enough. Recently, we have taken a good amount of action towards teaching students about mental health: inviting Kevin Breel to explore the topic through comedy, featuring articles about it in the school newspaper, providing support from counselors as well as links to helpful websites, and also adding suicide prevention to the freshman curriculum. I believe that these actions are beneficial but only to an extent.
During school, I hear people use the word "depressed" without knowing what being depressed actually is or who might be affected by the word. Students go to events like Kevin Breel's talk, but they do not stop and think, "What can I do about this?" They carry on with their lives, thinking that just because they are not affected themselves, mental health is not a big deal, but rather something that can be joked about. Students do not realize that there are people in their classes, on their bus, or even in their close circle of friends who are battling but are too afraid to speak up.
Mental health is a serious topic that we students sometimes take too lightly. Because of this indifferent attitude, close ones who suffer lose someone they can talk to, and more consequentially, they also lose confidence in themselves. We often think of those people as "time [bombs][…] and then never bring up the subject [of mental health] again," says Sonia. Although my school is making progress towards complete mental awareness, students need to also realize that it is okay if people are flawed, and we should want to help them through this time. Rather than just LGBTQ rights and prevention of racism, mental health is something that we need to realize is also a real concern which needs our support as well.
In just four hours, this Facebook post received 110 thousand likes. I saw the same post copied and pasted onto many other pages appear in my newsfeed because so many of my fellow Korean friends were tagging each other in the comments. It read: "These days, you are disabled if you cant have a boyfriend or girlfriend" This sort of judgment happens every minute of every day.
In South Korea, the social networking service usage has reached a record-setting sixty percent of its population, ranking first in Asia and fourth in the world. Observing the internet landscape gives an idea of how the Korean society at large perceives mental illnesses. A vast majority of Korean 'netizens' (network citizens) do not seem to know that their lighthearted tag-plays are only widening their social distances toward mental illness. What is worse is that these 'netizens' who consider mental illness as a punch line constitute mostly of adolescents and young adults. This alone shows how the country has failed to provide public education on the accurate portrayal of mental health. Ignorant labels that deride people who actually suffer from mental disorders reveal that the stigma against mental illnesses will be almost indelible in the near future. Something must be done not just for a better self-concept of the mentally ill, but also to help progress into a truly awakened nation.
The radical remedy to this problem is examining the mode of thought of Korean society. Many of modern Korea's problems can be traced back to Confucianism, which stresses homogeneity, interdependence, conservatism, and social hierarchy. As Korea underwent extremely rapid modernization and economic development, the clash of Western culture and deeply rooted Confucianism has produced disoriented mindsets of the people. Korea has the highest suicide rate among OECD members; people befriend their smartphones, not real humans; women show an obsessive reliance on plastic surgery to boost their low self-esteem. The society is ill because its people are psychologically unstable despite the extraordinary progress we have made at the national level. Being mentally healthy and embracing those with disorders are foremost virtues laid aside.

Sir Donald Sangster International Airport is the largest international airport in Jamaica and serves the popular Montego Bay resort, which is just 6 km east of the airport (Montego Bay is Jamaica's second largest city). The airport has recently gone through a program of improvement and modernization to make it a leader in the Caribbean. The airport offer a large shopping area that is filled with luxury brands, jewellery, perfumes and liquor to fulfil anyone's shopping desire. Once you finish your shopping you can relax in one of it's many bars & restaurants and enjoy some authentic Jamaican cuisines or cocktails.
Sangster is usually referred to as the gateway to the Caribbean as it is the most popular airport for tourists visiting the north coast of Jamaica, processing over 60% of the country's visitors. Since the airport was first opened in 1947 it has gone through countless upgrades and expansions, including the construction of a new terminal building in 1959. "Sir Donald Sangster International Airport is the largest international airport in Jamaica".
In January 2001 an agreement was reached for a significant upgrade of the airport's facilities on a build operate transfer basis between the Government of Jamaica, the Airport Authority of Jamaica (AAJ) and the contracted consortium MBJ Airports Ltd.
Once notorious for the buccaneers and swashbuckling pirates who made the island their home over 300 years ago, Jamaica lies 550 miles south of Florida – at the very heart of the Caribbean. Today, the island is famous for the unique appeal of its scenic and rugged interior – the Blue Mountains rise to well over 7,000 feet – combined with the unmatched beauty of dazzling tropical beaches bordering the blue–green water of the Caribbean Sea. Each year, more and more visitors from around the globe are attracted by the island's magic, its history and its world–class facilities.
Sangster International Airport (MBJ) is ideally located on the northwest coast of the island – at the centre of the country's main tourism region and close to a wide range of hotel and resort facilities. The airport is within easy driving distance of the cruise ports at Montego Bay and Ocho Rios as well as the popular tourist town of Negril.
The first international airline to fly into the Montego Bay Airport was Pan American Airways, and in fact, the airport, which in comparison to today's standards, was more like a small aerodrome, was operated by Pan American until September 30, 1949, when the Jamaican Government took control of the facility.
However, the Sangster International Airport, as we know it today, was nothing like it was in the early days. One of the most noticeable differences was that initially, the terminal building was on the northern side of the runway but was shifted to the southern side of the runway during one of the several upgrading exercises that took place at that facility, which was necessitated by the growth in air traffic over the years.
Plans for the construction of a new terminal at its present location, on the southern side of the runway, was announced in July of 1955. the plans for the new terminal building was part of what turned out to be a continued upgrading and restructuring of the facility, to enable it to cope with the growth in traffic. The new terminal was built and opened on July 7, 1959, with a capacity to accommodate 500 passengers per hour, and parking for seven aircraft at a time.
Over the years, the upgrading process was a continuous one, ultimately the facility had grown into the larger of the two international airports in Jamaica, handling approximately 3.7 million passengers per annum in 2007,and have seen and increase in passenger and aircraft movement since the start of 2008.They are currently seeking to increase the number of passengers from Asia, and are working with Brazil to receive non–stop service from there.
