Innovation is something new. This doesn’t mean something that has never been seen before. Usually there is a source of inspiration. The key, is to question.

It does remind me of Kipling’s Poem:
I keep six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.

Be prepared for the questions you don’t want to hear, when facing a Q&A session. Something I’ve heard years ago, but its good to have the revision. Includes clear examples.

Israel is being investigated by the UN for supposed war crimes in Gaza, despite evidence from those in the know to the contrary. They also seem rather singled out for sanctions on the world stage. Link.

Women are paid less than men, because they don’t know how to ask for a pay rise.

Linda C. Babcock, an economics professor at Carnegie Mellon University, looked at gender and salary in a novel way. She recruited volunteers to play Boggle and told them beforehand that they would receive $2 to $10 for their time. When it came time for payment, each participant was given $3 and asked if that was enough.

Men asked for more money at eight times the rate of women. In a second round of testing, where participants were told directly that the sum was negotiable, 50 percent of women asked for more money, but that still did not compare with 83 percent of men. It would follow, Professor Babcock concluded, that women are equally poor at negotiating their salaries and raises.

From a NYTimes article

‘Thanks to Hollywood, women now want a man who is attractive, funny, wealthy, hardworking, and romantic. As opposed to a guy who would be a good father, willing to work, and wouldn’t beat them.’

It is a good article actually. The problem many smart people have is they forget their audience/readership. They understand how it works, and then write about it, but they don’t have a clue what needs explained of the basics. Simply knowing what details can be filtered out as they don’t contribute to the reader’s understanding, is a fine ability.

It seems women have more rights than men, in daily life. They seem to have more liberty in day to day life, and more protection, being seen as the ‘good guys’ in varied conflicts.
