The 50/50 by 2030 Foundation builds on the Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis's strong track record of research and advocacy on gender equality issues and is led by Virginia Haussegger AM where she is an Adjunct Professor.
We are delighted by the support of an outstanding Advisory Council. This formidable network of men and women, whose contribution to public service excellence is exemplary, continue to provide inspiration through their unique and dedicated styles of leadership. Their enthusiasm and commitment to our vision gives considerable strength to our cause. As does our distinguished circle of Academic Associates, which includes a number of big thinkers who are renowned in their field of study.
"There is a risk when talking about leadership practices that labels such as 'feminine' and 'ethic of care' misrepresent or somehow diminish the substance they describe. I believe they are more truthfully described as responsibility, competence and mutuality. In these terms, we do away with the loaded connotation of gender and recognise narrative practice as a potent model of leadership occupying, and deserving to occupy, the mainstream. It is an exercise of power, not merely something women do when they have no power."

Analytical and precise, restaurateur Ian Vaughn doesn't like surprises.
Yet there have been surprises aplenty as Vaughn's Rock n Concepts company has watched the Lava Cantina restaurant and live music venue lumber toward life in Warren Buffett's Grandscape development in The Colony.
"The week before we were to break ground, the original contractor told us we were going to be several million over budget," said Vaughn, who admits that, at 28,000 square feet, the North Texas Lava Cantina is the largest project he's undertaken.
"We changed contractors, and they ... said they were going to be $4 million over," he said. "Soooo, I changed again as a part of a redraw of some plans, and we will now only be $1.5 million" over.
With the major construction hurdles in the rear view-mirror, Vaughn is prepping for an early May opening with a musical lineup that includes Los Lonely Boys and Austin Latin rock band Vallejo.
Vaughn, who hopes to see Lava Cantina develop into an international brand, looks at the last few years as a fiery baptism. He's smarter now, has more investors and is thinking of building something even bigger than his coming-soon flagship.
"I think my family and I have experienced every emotion imaginable the last couple years," said Vaughn, whose entourage includes his wife, his mom and his business partner dad. "From tears of joy and celebration at getting the deal signed and having a ground-breaking ceremony, down to tears of fear [from] getting a call that we were sitting $4.6 million over budget when we were already behind schedule.
"I think it has made us stronger as a family, and I think our team of operators that have been a part of this process has grown by leaps and bounds as they have charged ahead regardless and never stopped believing. We're almost there."
Geographically speaking, "there" is the under-construction Boardwalk section of Grandscape, one of the largest mixed-used real estate developments in the nation. Taking shape at the Sam Rayburn Tollway, west of the Dallas North Tollway, the 400-plus-acre Grandscape already is home to Buffett's Nebraska Furniture Mart.
Lava Cantina will be the first tenant to open in the 22-acre Boardwalk section, which includes an 11-acre lake.
"The overall construction of the lake and walking path along the water are nearly done and will be timed perfectly with the opening of Lava Cantina," said Jeff Lind, president of Grandscape.
Vaughn signed a letter of intent to open in 2015, months after Toyota had announced plans to relocate its headquarters from California to nearby Plano.
In January 2016 came a Lava Cantina ground-breaking ceremony with "great hype and buzz," he said.
"A week later, as we were preparing to move dirt for the first time, we got stopped in our tracks as it was communicated [from the then-general contractor] that we were anticipating a serious budget crisis," he recalled. "At this point, we had to make some very difficult decisions to revisit the scope of our project.
"Because we were under the gun on a lease start date for our dirt, we did not have time to redraw the project in its entirety," Vaughn said. "Instead, I took the plans and marked them up by hand."
He had to "redraw critical elements of the venue to gain efficiencies," but that still increased the budget by nearly $2 million, to nearly $8 million total.
That shortfall was taken up by new investors who joined a team of financial backers that includes Dallas Mavericks general manager Donnie Nelson.
Nelson, who said he loves live music, was not concerned about the setbacks.
"Good things take time," he said, calling Vaughn a "rare blend" of artist and businessman. "There's so much development happening at 121 and [the Dallas North Tollway] it's mind blowing. Every day I drive to work it seems like another high rise appears out of nowhere.
"We desperately need a world class live music venue in the $5 billion corridor. There's nothing like it up here right now."
In the early days, Vaughn said, the project was hampered by "scope creep, skyrocketing construction costs in the north Dallas market, and personal inexperience with a project of this size."
The Colony project will be the third Lava Cantina. The first two, both in Louisiana, are a fraction of the size of the Lone Star model. Each is about 6,600 square feet.
"The amount of time it takes to get things completed on a project of this size has been incredibly frustrating," Vaughn said. "There's so much red tape along the way coming from every direction.
"The size was the largest complexity we faced. A small tweak spread over 28,000 square feet makes a major impact."
Also, Vaughn's vision of a venue with an "authentic New Orleans design" was difficult to keep "inside the guardrails of the budget."
"The backyard is done like Jackson Square in the French Quarter, complete with a big, flaming fountain just like Pat O'Brien's [New Orleans bar], brick pathways with NOLA street lanterns, and so much more," he added.
"Coming off 'authentic and genuine' has got to be carefully planned and presented so it is not received as 'cheesy.'"
Also, merging a music venue with a full-service restaurant added another layer of complexity. The space has two kitchens, a large bar and a retractable roof as a hedge against the sometimes temperamental Texas sky.
"Of course, doing something smaller would have been much easier, however, we would not have been able to plant our flag in the ground as a contender in the North Dallas market if we didn't give this all we have," he said. "This is our opportunity to build a great reputation and take one step further toward the dream of building an international restaurant chain."
One of the biggest hurdles for Vaughn was finding a general contractor who could complete the project close to budget. He didn't want to talk about the early participants, but ended up going with the home team.
Prior to becoming a restau-preneur, Baton Rouge native Vaughn was chief operating officer for Raising Cane's, which also was born in Baton Rouge but now has its main corporate office in Plano.
From his days at Raising Cane's, Vaughn was familiar with Baton Rouge-based MAPP Construction.
"After extensive discussions with the founder and CEO Mike Polito and his top dog in the Dallas market, Bradley Tassin, they proposed a process where they would take the drawings we had done and write up contracts to [sub-contractors] instead of bringing the entire project to bid," Vaughn said.
The subcontractors would then "pitch back" any adjustments that may be needed to hit the budget numbers, he said. "Thankfully, the subs did not have to have any further changes, and we were able to get started. In all, this total delay took about seven months to battle through."
He said Grandscape never gave him grief about the delays.
"It's far more important to us to get things right than to do things quickly, so no problem with the delay," said Lind. "The venue will be outstanding when it opens, and that is what matters to us."
Vaughn said looking back, "what we ended up with actually turned out to be better than what we originally had drawn, so this all worked out as a blessing in disguise."
For example, early plans included a "look in," allowing patrons on the roof to see inside, down to the first floor. "We removed that and replaced it with a third stage on the roof," he said. "Worked out great."
Now, Lava Cantina 3.0 will boast a "sprawling rooftop patio offering panoramic views of the stage overlooking the [Grandscape] lake," he said. "We'll also feature a live jazz brunch every Sunday."
Vaughn said the focus of his company, which operates 15 restaurants under several brand names, has been largely on getting The Colony Lava location open.
Still, he already is eyeing several new locations elsewhere in Texas and parts west that "are nearly twice the size of this Lava Cantina with many more bells and whistles." He said more details will come at year's end.
Through the angst, fear of bankruptcy and hours of alone time, Vaughn said he never thought of throwing in the towel.
"It is a dream location and a once in a lifetime opportunity," he said. "On top of that, I've had too many people put their full faith, trust and money in delivering an innovative and state-of-the-art restaurant and live music venue. We simply had to find a way."

The most expensive construction projects in the world
Written by bychkovvadym on 05.09.2022 in Facts
Construction projects are expensive, and the most ambitious projects can cost billions of rubles or even dollars. Experts from the English construction and engineering company MTX Contracts and the Finch Group company specializing in real estate have calculated how much the 10 most expensive construction projects in the world cost.
10. Tunnel under the English Channel (aka Eurotunnel) Cost – 22.4 billion dollars.
This tunnel stretches for 50 450 meters, connecting the UK with France. Moreover, 39 kilometers of the tunnel passes under water, which is a record for such structures. During the work, the builders seized 8 million cubic meters of rock. The French mixed it with water and sent it back to the sea. But the British created an artificial cape Shakespeare from the extracted rock, on which they later arranged a park. The cost of construction turned out to be 80% more than expected, due to the ever-increasing requirements of safety and environmental protection. The project started in 1988 and was completed in 1994. According to the participants of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Eurotunnel is one of the seven wonders of the world of our time.
9. The Greater Boston Tunnel is worth more than $23 billion.
At the end of the 20th century, Boston, like most of the world's megacities, suffered from an abundance of cars. The whole city was periodically in traffic jams. The solution to this problem was the construction of Big Dig – the "Big Trench" or, according to the official name, the Great Boston Tunnel. More than 5,000 people participated in the construction of the 8-lane tunnel. It is curious that during the implementation of such a large-scale project, not a single house was destroyed. The project was completed on the last day of 2007, ten years behind schedule and cost several million dollars more than expected.
8. Kansai International Airport Construction cost – $ 29 billion.
One of the most unusual airports in the world is located in the second largest city of Japan, Osaka. It is based on an artificial island, which makes it immune to earthquakes, which are not uncommon in Japan. A three-kilometer bridge connects Kansai with the city. Most of the budget was spent on metal support columns and other supporting elements.
7. High-speed rail in California, the project price is $ 33 billion.
Construction of a high-speed railway in California with a length of about 837 kilometers began in 2015 and was supposed to be completed in 2020. She was supposed to connect Los Angeles with San Francisco. Later, the budget increased to $ 77 billion, and the construction dates were postponed for another 13 years, until 2033. However, in 2019, California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that he was abandoning one of the most expensive construction projects of our time, and would shift all attention to the construction of a 275-kilometer section of the line in the California Valley. In the future, this site may become part of a larger-scale project.
6. The Songdo International Business District cost $40 billion.
This is a "smart city" built from scratch on 600 hectares of alluvial island, 65 km from Seoul. At the moment, it is the largest successful investment project of private investors in real estate. 61% of the total investments belong to the American company Gale International, 30% – South Korean Posco and 9% – American Morgan Stanley. The latest technology allows Songdo residents to hold video conferences with their neighbors, while sensors located in every building and on the street collect information to regulate street lighting, alert authorities about criminal behavior or inform passengers when the next bus is coming. The Songdo Business District was created to attract entrepreneurs and tourists from the nearby Incheon International Airport. There are plans to create replicas of attractions from other cities, including Central Park, with deer and rabbits.
5. Dubayland This amusement park is worth more than 76 billion dollars.
An ambitious leisure project that, although not completed, is one of the most expensive construction projects in the world. If Dubai has decided that it needs a family-oriented attraction, then it will not stand for the price. It is expected that Dubayland will open before the end of 2020. It will become the largest and most expensive entertainment venue in the world with design elements based on Arabic folklore, as well as a Disney theme park and an IMAX cinema. Also on its territory there will be copies of the most famous sights of the world, including the Taj Mahal and the Eiffel Tower.
4. The economic city of King Abdullah is planned to allocate from 80 to 100 billion dollars for construction.
This city, which is not even half completed yet, will be slightly larger than Washington, D.C., and it will be home to 2 million people. Being an hour's drive from Mecca, it will become the main tourist attraction of Saudi Arabia, with villas, a huge airport, as well as universities and the most modern port in the region. The city was conceived by King Abdullah (now deceased) as a basis for the diversification of the country's economy. Instead of oil, EGoKA had to rely on the development of industry, transport and services. It was planned to create 1 million jobs on its territory of 173 square kilometers. However, so far, big business has not arrived in the miracle city, in which 90 km of roads have already been built.
3. Kashagan oil and gas field The development of the field cost $ 116 billion.
The joint operating company North Caspian Operating Company, which includes 7 companies from different countries, is working on the development of the largest oil field in the Caspian Sea. In addition to creating artificial islands for the development of the field, there were many difficulties during construction, including problems when drilling oil fields under high pressure. The oil reserves of this field are estimated at 1.5 – 10.5 billion tons.
2. The price of the International Space Station is 160 billion dollars.
This project is international not only in name, but also in essence. The cost of the space station, which in today's prices would amount to $160 billion, was divided among 14 countries. It is planned that the ISS, built on Earth and assembled in space, will eventually "retire" in 2020, 26 years after its creation. How to leave the space station? Crashing into the ocean. This is one way to sink billions of "evergreen presidents."
1. The national system of interstate and defense highways The total cost of the project is 459 billion dollars.
The construction of new routes and the development of old ones to serve the interstate highway system began in 1956 under President Dwight Eisenhower. Despite the fact that the interstate highway system was built significantly behind schedule and over budget, it achieved what it was intended for. An efficient transport network was created, which, in case of an emergency, ensured the rapid transfer of military and civilians to the right place.

The sterilization of medical equipment is an important part of health care. The process protects both health care workers and patients by preventing infections, and it allows devices to be used again instead of thrown away after one procedure. Before sterilization was common, patients often died from infection after surgery. Because of the importance of this process, hospitals and other health care facilities often have specific sterilization departments. As one of their trained technicians, you can make a difference by protecting patients and staff.
There are several common techniques for sterilizing medical equipment. None can be used in all circumstances or on all devices. While you're learning to be a sterile processing technician, you will learn more about these methods, and you will also get to practice newly acquired skills both in the lab and in the real world.
Most sterile processing departments will have a steam sterilizer, also known as an autoclave. This is because many common medical devices can be sterilized using steam, and it's generally the cheapest and safest option. In fact, most technicians will only consider another option when the device is made with a material that is sensitive to heat or cannot be sterilized using steam. A steam sterilizer applies heat and intense pressure to destroy all microorganisms on an object.
When steam could destroy the instrument or fail to penetrate it, dry heat is the next logical option. Dry heat is a powerful but slow method that requires time and high temperatures. Because of this, it is unsuitable for many materials, but it is still often more reliable than other options. A dry heat sterilizer uses air that is typically between 300 to 340 degrees Fahrenheit to kill microbial life.
There are several types of gas that can be used to sterilize medical devices. The most common one is ethylene oxide (EO). EO is a chemical that sterilizes by killing the cells of bacteria. The gas is placed in a sterilizing chamber that is explosion-proof. As you train to become a sterile processing tech, you will learn to master the complex process of varying gas concentration, temperature, humidity and time to find the perfect balance for a device.
While these are generally the best techniques for sterilizing medical equipment, there are many other options that are used in specific circumstances. To learn more, enroll in a sterile processing training program.

Friday Sports in Brief
June 1, 2019, 7:13 AM UTC
TORONTO (AP) -- Golden State star Kevin Durant is going to miss Game 2 of the NBA Finals, and Andre Iguodala's health is of at least mild concern to the two-time defending champion Warriors as well.
Iguodala, the 2015 NBA Finals MVP, had an MRI on Friday on his left leg after he was hurt late in Game 1 of the title-series opener against the Toronto Raptors. Durant, the finals MVP in 2017 and 2018 who has been dealing with a strained calf, was ruled out by Warriors coach Steve Kerr in an expected move.
Toronto took Game 1 and will host Game 2 on Sunday night. Iguodala expects to play, and the Warriors said his MRI came back clean.
TORONTO (AP) - The Los Angeles Clippers are paying a price, because Doc Rivers paid Toronto star Kawhi Leonard a compliment.
The NBA fined the Clippers $50,000 on Friday for violating the league's anti-tampering rule. The league did not specifically say what comments were determined to be fine-worthy, other than saying it was in response to what Rivers - the Clippers' coach - said about Leonard ''in a recent television appearance.''
Rivers appeared on an NBA Finals preview show on ESPN earlier in the week and compared Leonard to Michael Jordan.
MILWAUKEE (AP) - Milwaukee police officers have testified under oath in a lawsuit from Bucks player Sterling Brown that they violated his civil rights when they used a stun gun to arrest him over a parking violation last year, Brown's attorney said Friday.
The comments from attorney Mark Thomsen came in response to a report from The Journal Sentinel saying the city's attorneys want to offer Brown $400,000 to settle the lawsuit he filed accusing police of using excessive force and targeting him because he's black.
The Common Council had scheduled a vote on the proposed settlement on June 10.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The NFL has suspended Indianapolis Colts quarterback Chad Kelly for two games for violating the league's personal conduct policy.
Kelly signed with the Colts on May 20 - after pleading guilty in March to a second-degree trespassing charge. He had been arrested in October after entering the home of a man and woman he did not know following a Halloween party.
It was the latest legal issue for the nephew of Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly.
Chad Kelly can participate in all offseason and preseason practices and games and can return to Indy's active roster on Sept. 16.
WASHINGTON (AP) - The NHL has closed its review of Washington Capitals star Evgeny Kuznetsov and a now-deleted video on social media that appears to show him in a hotel room with lines of white powder on a table in front of him.
The video carried a message saying it was why Russia lost in the recent world hockey championship. It showed Kuznetsov talking to someone and lines of white powder and American dollar bills can be seen on the table. Kuznetsov does not touch anything on the table in the 22-second video.
Kuznetsov says the video is from 2018 in Las Vegas after the Capitals won the Stanley Cup. He says he went to a friend's hotel room, saw drugs, called a friend and left.
NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly says the league found no basis to question his explanation.
NEW YORK (AP) - Swing coach Hank Haney has been suspended from the SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio channel for disparaging comments about the LPGA Tour, and Tiger Woods says he had it coming.
Haney said on his radio show that a Korean probably would win the U.S. Women's Open and that he couldn't name six players on the LPGA Tour. He then said he would with ''Lee,'' and if he didn't have to mention a first name, ''I'd get a bunch of them right.''
Haney coached Woods for six of his majors from 2004 to 2010.
''He deserved it,'' Woods said at the Memorial when asked what he thought about Haney being suspended that he deserved the punishment.
A statement from the PGA Tour and SiriusXM said the comments were insensitive and do not represent the views of either party.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio State University trustees have posthumously revoked the emeritus status of a team doctor found to have sexually abused young men during his two decades there.
The decision Friday regarding Richard Strauss is a symbolic rebuke, stripping only the honorary label - something the university says it has never previously done.
A law firm investigating allegations recently concluded Strauss sexually abused at least 177 male students between 1979 and 1997, and that university officials heard concerns but did little to stop him.
American long jumper and sprinter Jarrion Lawson faces a lengthy ban after eating what he maintains was contaminated meat.
His agent, Paul Doyle, told The Associated Press on Friday that Lawson is expected to receive a four-year ban from the Athletics Integrity Unit, which handles doping issues in track and field. Doyle said they'll appeal the soon-to-be-announced decision.
Lawson has been suspended since August. He's considered a strong medal contender for next year's Tokyo Games.
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - Neymar said Friday his left knee problem picked up in Copa America preparations was temporary.
He returned to a full training for the first time since Tuesday at the Granja Comary training ground outside Rio de Janeiro.
Brazil's soccer confederation said the striker remained on the pitch during the entire session. Brazil's training was closed to the media.
Neymar sat out two training sessions to rest the left knee. But Friday morning he was already back with his teammates on the pitch for a light training.
MONTREAL (AP) - The Canadian Football League took over ownership of the Montreal Alouettes on Friday, The Canadian Press reported.
The Canadian Press cited an unidentified source in its report.
The league has been looking for potential buyers for the franchise that American businessman Robert Wetenhall has owned since 1997
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) - Swimming governing body FINA said Friday that vice president Dennis Miller of Fiji had died of cancer. He was 61.
FINA said Miller, a former 100-meter butterfly champion in Fiji, was swim team manager for his home country at the 1982 Commonwealth Games and 1988 Olympic Games, and chef de mission of the Fijian team at the 1996 Olympics.
He became executive director of the Oceania National Olympic Committees in 1997, and was president of the Oceania Swimming Association since 2008.

I sort of felt like if I didn't make a cherry pie, I would have to be considered unAmerican.
After the kids went to bed, my husband and I enjoyed a quite couple of hours in the kitchen. He was in charge of the crust, and I did the filling. Then we put it all together, popped it in the oven, and enjoyed a little toast while we cleaned up every blessed bowl, measuring cup, bit of counter space, and utensil we own.
aren't we cute with our his and hers computers open to our recipes?
Cherry pie just looks so very homey and classic. It really isn't hard to make at all. Just a few ingredients, a short time at the stove, and then you get to sit back and smell the delicious aromas of the buttery crust and sweet cherries baking in the oven.
I added a teeny bit of almond extract to my pie, to give it just a little more depth of flavor. You certainly don't need to do this. Fresh cherries have so much sweet juicy flavor that they stand alone quite nicely.
Combine all ingredients, and bring to a boil. When you start, it will look like cherries in milky white liquid. As it comes to a boil it will magically turn into cherries in thick pink liquid. Lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. By the time you are done, it will be deep red, beautiful cherry pie filling.
Let it cool a bit before filling the pie crust.
I am sure you have your own recipe for pie crust? If not, I believe there is a recipe in every cookbook and baking website ever created. If you want, I can give you mine, but I don't think it is very different than anything else out there. Of course, you can also buy a refrigerated pie crust that's already rolled out for you. It sure makes the whole project quicker and simpler! Go ahead do what works for you. I certainly won't judge you.
Roll out the bottom pie crust, and lay it in your pan. Fill with cherry mixture. Cut the top pie crust into 1/2 inch strips.
Lay 5-6 strips across the pie.
Fold back every other one, and lay a cross piece. Fold the original pieces back down, and repeat with the skipped slats from before.
Continue like this until the crust is complete. Pinch off any bits that are hanging over the edge, and flute the crust.
Cover the edges of the pie in tin foil and bake at 425 degrees for 35-45 minutes (removing the foil for the last 10 minutes or so, so the crust can brown). When the crust is golden brown, it's done!
