No, Shakira doesn't have a secret sister you've never heard of. Rebecca Maiellano or Shakibecca is the Grammy-Award winning artist's "international double." Much like Connie Peña who performs as Jennifer Lopez's doppelganger, Shakibecca is one of many celebrity impersonators that is able to make a living by paying tribute to the idols they coincidentally look just like.
However, not all celebrity doubles are living a life of imitation, others like Mayor Allison Madison who went viral as Cardi B's double, simply share an uncanny resemblance with the star.

Venezuelan singer-songwriter Rebecca Maiellano calls herself Shakira's "international double." Maiellano puts on a show called Shakibecca Live, and has performed her act on numerous television shows like Univision's Despierta América. With curly blonde locks, Shakibecca imitates Shakira not just in her manner of dress but also the "La Tortura" singer's unique voice. The uncanny imitator has garnered her own fanbase of over 100,000 followers on Instagram.
Shakibecca Live is a tribute to her favorite Colombian singer where she performs in front of live audiences with a band and covers Shakira's greatest hits. If you can make a living honoring your favorite artists and singing some of your favorite songs — that's not a bad gig at all.
Maiellano got the honor of meeting her idol in Mexico where they looked strikingly similar, even wearing similar tights.
Even the old age app seems to think these two could be twins.
Like everyone else over the summer, Maiellano used the aging app, except she used a photo of herself and Shakira. The results were startling.
"Con ustedes: Las Shakiabuelitas," Maiellano wrote on Instagram. "¡Bendecido #domingo para todos nosotros! Los quiero mucho."
Shakira isn't the only celebrity with a look alike. Jennifer Lopez recently met hers too.
Connie Peña has also successfully built a following around living a life of homage to her favorite Puerto Rican pop star Jennifer Lopez. The enterprising single mom has amassed a following of 70,000 on Instagram and met the future-Oscar-winner over the summer during the "It's My Party" tour.
"I finally got the opportunity to meet the Ms Jennifer Lopez, the LEGEND, My ICON, and the woman that has motivated me and impacted my life in so many ways! This day changed my life. I had been waiting so very long for this day to come. I've never been so nervous in my life! It has been 1 year to date that I announced to the world that I would be doing the first ever tribute to her," Peña wrote on Instagram.
Peña said that though she had pondered the moment of meeting her fave for years, she was so nervous in her presence not a single question would come out. Who could blame her?
"The only thing I could get out of my mouth was thanking her for being who she is and how much of a motivation she has been to me and how I am working really hard to bring the first tribute show to her in her honor. It was such a blessing to she her reaction and smile at me and the HUG we had given to each other was unforgettable. Hearing her tell me that 'WE LOOK ALIKE,' made my heart drop with joy!" Peña continued.
The Mexican and Peruvian mother of two said she didn't need to go on about why she chose to devote her life to honoring J.Lo because the "I'm Real" singer's body of work speaks for itself.
Cardi B's "twin" also went viral this year and just so happens to be mayor of Mound City, Illinois.

"I am Cardi B's mom," Mayor Allison Madison joked in a BET interview. The only difference is Madison isn't an impersonator, she just happens to look like Cardi and went viral because of it. Madison made history when she became the first black mayor and the first woman mayor of Mound City, Illinois.
"If there was anything I would tell Cardi B is that she's going to look good in 40 years," Madison, who is 40 years older than the 26-year-old rapper, joked.
Madison made it clear why she is mayor. She praised Cardi B for being honest and authentic about her past struggles and how she overcame them.
"She's not worried about what people think, what they say. She is who she is," she said. "I have had a little adversity… men don't like the fact a woman [is] being over them."
While on The Breakfast Club, Cardi B tried to front but admitted, "She fake kind of look likes me. I ain't gonna lie, I might look like her or something."

Italian Mayors Are Showing J.Lo A Lot Of Love After She Mentioned Wanting To Move To The Country

Jennifer Lopez has checked off more than all the bucket list life experiences "Jenny from the Block" could have even imagined, but there's still one more she yearns for: to live abroad in a small town in Italy or in Bali and enjoy the simple things in life. The 50-year-old singer, actress, producer, and businesswoman has graced the cover of Vanity Fair alongside an in-depth interview that affirms the importance of Latinas gaining power in the U.S. and a long-held desire to leave it all behind for a "more simple and organic" life. In the wake of J.Lo's recent Academy snub for her role in "Hustlers," she confirms that she is very intentional about why she's only hired female directors for all her productions to date. "It's about breaking the mold of what people are used to," she told Vanity Fair's Britt Hennemuth.
It's clear that J.Lo is committed to breaking the glass ceiling for Latinas and all women alike here in the United States, but that hasn't stopped mayors across the Italian countryside from wooing Jenny from the Block to move to their idyllic town.
Lopez revealed that all she wants to do is "ride a bike, and buy bread, and put it in my basket, and then go home and put jelly on it."

For Lopez, that kind of life may only be possible somewhere very far on the other side of the world, more removed from her celebrity. "I would love to live somewhere other than the United States, in a small town in Italy, or on the other side of the world, in Bali. Find another life where it's a little bit more simple and organic and where I get to ride a bike, and buy bread, and put it in my basket, and then go home and put jelly on it, and just eat and paint, or sit in a rocking chair where there was a beautiful view of an olive tree or an oak tree and I could just smell. I have fantasies like that," Lopez told the magazine.
"If you ever do move overseas don't forget to take Arod with you," one Twitter user implored of J.Lo. While it doesn't seem like Americans are taking her fantasy too seriously, the rest of the world certainly is.
Several mayors around Italy have publicly reached out to the Puerto Rican Renaissance Woman.
The mayor of San Quirico d'Orcia, a town in the Tuscan countryside, announced, "We are the Italy that Jennifer Lopez is looking for. We are a small but beautiful town surrounded by endless olive groves and a landscape recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage area." Mayor Bartoli didn't forget to mention that "we have great bakeries that produce wonderful bread."
Cagliari's mayor, Paolo Truzzu, tossed his beloved town into the running as well. "Dear Jennifer, come and live with us in Cagliari" to enjoy "good things to eat, a slow rhythm of life, contact with nature and a lovely climate," he said. The residents of some of these towns have reached out to Lopez to second their mayor's invitation. "Hey @JLo! Did you receive the invitation from Cagliari's mayor Paolo Truzzu to come to live here? He's available to host you. Let us know!" one Cagliari resident tweeted at J.Lo. "JLo, come to live in Italy there are many beautiful villages!! come on the Amalfi Coast or in Cilento, I recommend also San Valentino Torio the land of lovers, 20 min from Pompei," another Italian Twitter user informed the superstar.
Lopez also emphasized the importance of hiring female directors.
Vanity Fair aptly acknowledged that Lopez had mostly been directed by men, but that she has an exclusively female line-up of directors for her future projects under her own production. "It's about breaking the mold of what people are used to," Lopez added, saying, "There are so many great female directors; why aren't we using them more? It's hard to break patterns, even in yourself, so we have to make a conscious effort to change the paradigm." The 2020 Oscars snubbed all women when they only nominated male directors during a time when there are more female directors than ever before.
"It's also a great time for Latina women to take the stage at the biggest all-American event," Lopez said of her upcoming Superbowl Halftime show with Shakira, emphasizing its importance "with everything that's going on in the country right now." Lopez added, "I'm super-happy to represent my community, to represent women, and to represent everybody, you know? "

The Super Bowl Just Hit The Latina Trifecta Thanks To This Big Announcement

Looks like the Super Bowl is officially going to be fire. Late last year it was announced that , Jennifer Lopez and Shakira would headline the halftime show. News of their duo performance sparked both delight and, in light of the NFL's anti-Black Lives Matter stance, some controversy. Still, whether you love it or hate, the show will go on and Demi Lovato is now taking part.
On Thursday the "Sorry Not Sorry" singer announced that she will be performing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl LIV in Miami.
Singing the National Anthem at #SBLIV 🏈 🏈 🏈 See you in Miami 🌴 @NFL
A post shared by Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) on Jan 16, 2020 at 5:46am PST
In a post to her Instagram account, the singer shared an official photo and a caption that read, "Singing the National Anthem at #SBLIV See you in Miami @NFL."
The announcement is proof that Latinas and Demi in particular are setting 2020 on fire.
After all, Lovato's announcement comes just two days after she announced that she had accepted an invite to performat the 2020 Grammy Awards at the end of this month. The news sparked excitement amongst Lovato's fans particularly because the singer hasn't performed live since 2018 when she was hospitalized for a drug overdose.
This year, Jennifer Lopez and Shakira will also headline the halftime show.
#TBT!!! Just some of my faves from this Saturday 🎬 I had such an amazing time hosting!!!!!! It was so hard to keep a straight face with all of these incredible people. 😅❤🤣 @nbcsnl

Super Bowl LIV will be played on February 2. Fox will televise the game starting at 6:30 p.m. with kickoff shortly thereafter.
We don't know who will face off in the 54th Super Bowl but we know who will be serving up delicious cuisine at Hard Rock Stadium the day of the big game and the big performance — a dominicana chef.
Chef Dayanny de la Cruz the Centerplate Executive Chef of the Hard Rock Stadium will be feeding guests with delicious sazón on Super Bowl Sunday.
The woman responsible for coordinating the food experience for Super Bowl LIV is Dayanny de la Cruz. The mom of three is the executive chef of the Hard Rock Stadium. FIERCE recently spoke to Chef Dayanny about her beginnings, her connections with the world of food, breaking through the glass ceiling and what it's like to design a menu that matches JLo and Shakira's superstardom.
Chef Dayanny was born and raised in the Dominican Republic and grew up in a home where everything happened around the kitchen table. It was the kind of childhood where her mother always insisted she eat before she play and she was able to run outside and pick ripe mangoes straight from surrounding trees. Chef Dayanny credits this early association with fresh foods and the warmth of a lively kitchen with her decision to enter the culinary world.
She first went to school to get a degree in hospitality management from Universidad Central del Este in the Dominican Republic. It was here that she decided to move to the United States with her parents and pursue a career in culinary arts. After getting her degree in Grand Rapids, MI, the newbie chef accepted her first position in a kosher kitchen at the DoubleTree Hotel in Chicago — an experience that she says was one of the most difficult and rewarding of her career.
It was during this time in Chicago that Chef Dayanny was exposed to the world of sports luxury entertainment. She quickly started building her resume with some of the most elite sports events in the US, such as the US open in New York, the Kentucky Derby and the NBA All-Stars. Chef Dayanny explained to FIERCE, the experience was a different challenge than what she was used to, but she was drawn to that difficult task.
Her experience eventually led her to Miami and the Hard Rock Stadium.
As the executive chef, this means she would be in charge of the kitchen staff for each of these locations. Chef Dayanny also oversees the menus for each concession, kitchen and restaurant at the stadium, and ensures the quality of the food leaving the kitchen. Currently, the stadium has 7 kitchens, 167 suits, 7 all-inclusive clubs and 25 concession stands.
Among those responsibilities is a self-imposed rule that Chef Dayanny expects of her kitchens: to keep them extremely diverse. Listing Central America, South America, Africa and other countries as some of the sources of inspiration for the cuisine she serves, the chef explained to FIERCE that she not only includes her own Dominican flavors into her kitchens but she encourages the native flavors of her kitchen staff to be utilized as well.
The road leading up to her high-profile career hasn't been easy. Unfortunately, Chef Dayanna also experienced something many women — Latinas especially — experience coming up in her career.
Like in many industries, the culinary world is still very much a boys' club. As such, women are given an especially difficult time when they enter the industry to gain experience. Sometimes the interactions are so traumatizing that women leave their industry completely to avoid facing more injustices.
Chef Dayanny confirmed that as a Latina she bumped into the infamous glass ceiling several times before climbing up the ladder. However, it wasn't her own struggle she was concerned about, but the struggle of the next generation of women. Acknowledging that we still have a ways to go in making strides in equality, Chef Dayanny explained, "If we are standing still, not moving forward, we aren't clearing the way for the next generation."
As thrilled as she is about the upcoming Super Bowl, when asked how she feels knowing that she is somewhat responsible for feeding JLo and Shakira, Chef Dayanny left us with a reminder of what's most important.
Anyone who talks to Chef Dayanny can hear how much she loves to cook and how she adores food in general. So, to reach this point in her career where she receives this honor is obviously a big deal for her. In her interview with FIERCE, we hear in her voice how proud she is to land this role. While Chef Dayanny admitted she is excited about organizing the menus at the Super Bowl, for her, the real excitement comes when the party is over.

Predators' voices Pete Weber, Willy Daunic swap roles
Adam Vingan
avingan@tennessean.com
The Predators are making some changes within their broadcast teams.
Pete Weber, who has served as television play-by-play announcer since the team's inception, will transition to the same role on the radio.
He will switch places with Willy Daunic, who joined the radio broadcast team on a full-time basis last season. Daunic will be joined on television broadcasts by color analyst and former Predators forward Stu Grimson.
Terry Crisp, Mark Howard, Darren McFarland, Lyndsay Rowley, Brent Peterson, Jay More and Dan Keczmer will also return to the broadcast team.
Crisp and Howard will continue to be part of pre- and post-game coverage on Fox Sports Tennessee.
On the radio, Weber will be joined by McFarland, host of the Predators Radio Network pre- and post-game shows, and Peterson. More and Keczmer will handle color commentary roles.
More Predators alumni will also join the radio team and will be announced as the 2015-16 season approaches, the team said.
The radio flagship station will remain 102.5-FM.
Prospects signed: The Predators signed two prospects, 2014 second-round pick Vladislav Kamenev and 2015 second-round pick Yakov Trenin, to three-year entry-level contracts Friday.
Kamenev is expected to make his North American professional debut next season, most likely with the American Hockey League's Milwaukee Admirals.
Trenin, who was Nashville's first selection (55th overall) in last month's draft, should return to his junior club, the Gatineau Olympiques of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. Trenin had 67 points in 58 games for Gatineau last season.
Listed as 6-foot-3, Kamenev has ideal NHL size, and the Predators are hopeful that the talented forward will eventually become a long-term solution at the center position. His participation at this week's development camp has been limited as he recovers from recent shoulder surgery.
Last day of camp: Nashville's prospects will scrimmage at 11 a.m. Saturday at Ford Ice Center in Antioch. It will be the Predators' last formal team activity until rookie camp begins Sept. 10, one week before the entire team reconvenes for training camp.
Highly touted forward prospects Jimmy Vesey and Viktor Arvidsson are expected to play together on a line for one team, while Trenin, Kevin Fiala and Pontus Aberg highlight the roster for the opposition.
Activities taking place around the scrimmage:
•9 a.m.: Season-ticket holder entrance to used equipment sale;
•10 a.m.: General public entrance to used equipment sale;
•1 p.m.: Prospect autograph session;
•1:30 p.m: Free public skate.
For the first time, practice-worn jerseys from the past 10 years of training camp will be available at the equipment sale.

Feeling quite honoured and thankful to accept the ABC Award – Thanks, David!

Beef Farming
Talking to the animals
By Kate Dwyer
Sean Gleeson is a man who throws his heart and soul into everything he does.
When he and his wife Jody took on her family farm in the Camden Haven 11 years ago, Sean was rolling up his sleeves to make the most of the opportunity.
He's also a man who loves a good chat. When he moved from working in a busy engineering shop near Sydney, managing 50 boilermakers, to a beef cattle farm in the Camden Haven, the conversation moved from two-legged to four-legged creatures.
"I used to work in a very social environment, and when we moved to the farm, I found myself talking to the cattle. They do have different personalities as people do.
"Our family has always been very pet-oriented, and we treat the cattle like they're our pets. Obviously, at the end of the day, they're a product, but while they're here, we treat them with the same affection we have for our pets."
The Gleesons run cattle on two properties in Johns River. One is 60 acres set up for strip grazing cattle and rearing calves, once weaned. The other is 120 acres and is home to the breeding stock.
Sean loves the rural lifestyle and producing grass-fed beef cattle. He is enthusiastic about running his farming business, about the success of farming in the region generally, and flow-on business in the Camden Haven.
Sean didn't come into farming without experience.
"I'm from Narrabri originally. I've moved around the state a fair bit. I did my best to stay out of Sydney, but I did spend 10 years living in the southern highlands. I did have some dairy cattle in Narrabri, and we used to milk them by hand. So, we'd get up at 4am and go down to the dairy.
"Coastal farming is different. I've learned a lot from people here in the valley. They've been so helpful to us, and we thoroughly enjoy it. It's a great lifestyle and better than diary farming because I like my pillow too much. I don't like getting out of bed early.
"The Camden Haven is a lovely place to live. When you move from the Southern Highlands where it gets down to minus two or minus three degrees, to here where the weather is absolutely fantastic, you don't look back.
"It's magic to live in a place that produces top quality food, from seafood, macadamia nuts, blueberries, to beef cattle and dairy."

Learning to manage beef through challenges
Knowing the quality produce grown on the Camden Haven, Sean was a quick study, learning what it takes to breed beef cattle and manage ryegrass pasture to produce healthy cattle and great-tasting meat.
"We produce nice, quiet cattle. We can walk around them and make sure they're all happy and have plenty of food and clean water.
"We don't do grain-fed because I believe grass-fed beef has a better flavour. So it's heading into summer, we've got ryegrass in, and we'll have the cattle strip graze, and we'll rotate them around the paddocks.
"When the ryegrass is going to seed, we will harvest the seed and prepare the grass to be made into silage; that will prepare us for the winter. In winter, we plant the seed and start the cycle all over again."
The Camden Haven is still recovering from the drought which severely affected the region over at least two years and the 2019 bushfires. The Gleesons came close to the brink.
"We were very close to selling off all our cattle. And to do that, that's all that genetic line lost. We were down within two big square bails of feed to selling off all our cattle.
"For us, it was all or nothing. We took that gamble, and we were lucky that we got rain within that week in January.
"Taking that risk put us in a really good position after the rain. Other farmers, especially out west, they're trying to restock now. We've got calves being born, and we don't have to buy that stock.
"That last couple of years here on the coast was something. I've spoken to people in their 80s, and they've said they've never seen it this dry. For us to get through it in the position to what we did, I'm pretty proud.
"It's going to take a lot of farmers, a lot of years to build that herd back up again."
Herd Of Grass Fed Beef Cattle At The Gleesons Farm
The bushfires of November, December and January came close to the farm. Sean loaded 1,000-litre water tanks on his trailer and spent weeks putting out spot fires in the paddocks.
"We were lucky the planes turned up just in time to bomb the fire that came up the back of South Brother Mountain. Our property backs onto it.
"But every day, each night we were going out, checking to make sure that spot fires weren't around. And of course, the other problem we had was, with a lack of water wild dogs were coming in. So go around, check each night where the cattle were, making sure wild dogs weren't bringing down any calves.
"So, I mean with everything, there are always problems, but there's ways around it. You just got to keep getting up and go around and do what you got to do."
Sean Gleeson Working At Grass Fed Beef Cattle Farm
Sean says farmers who are producing a quality product are getting noticed by consumers who want to know where their food comes from, how it's grown or raised, and the practises used on the land. He said by seeking out local products from local businesses, customers can understand more about their food, who grows it and if any additives or supplements used to enhance the cosmetic appeal.
"People are becoming more aware of what they're buying. People need to be aware of what type of product they are purchasing, how it's being brought up, what treatment it has had. They want to be more aware of how their meat is produced.
"People are starting to look into the type of cuts and how to use them. If cheaper cuts are cooked low and slow, it's better value and flavour. I mean, there's also still good quality cuts with your blade, your topsides, all that the premium cuts. The more that people can educate themselves in that way of cooking and preparing their meals, the better off it is for themselves in terms of value for money for them in the long run.

"Go to your local butcher. I cannot stress that enough. They know where their products come from. Ask for their advice about how you should be preparing something. They're the best people to ask; they know what's going on. I think people must realise that if they do get meat from a local butcher, it hasn't had too much transport, it's fresh straight to the butcher, a few days in their cool room then on your plate.
"And I don't want to knock any supermarket or anything like that, I think at the end of the day, if the meat is packed on a tray, you don't really know where it's come from, how it's been treated or anything like that. I know there are guidelines that they do put in place, but me personally, go to a local butcher.
"I don't think people realise how much power they have when it comes to how this economy works out. At the end of the day, it's supply and demand. If people go and spend their money in the local area, that money keeps going round, and it eventually finds its way into local sporting clubs, local organisations. Local businesses are the ones who sponsor your local shows and everything along those lines.
"Each time you go and buy a local product, it keeps farmers working to produce hopefully the best quality food which we do produce here on the coast. Without the consumer buying our products, this cycle doesn't happen."

Naturally, when I write something I want as many comments as possible. It makes me happy, it shows to me that the post is actually being read (no, just checking stats isn't sufficient :-)) and it opens up for interesting discussions and different points of view.
Then we have the interesting phenomenon of remote commenting, meaning that if someone links to something I've written, all or most comments end up in the linker's post than in my original one that contains the topic everyone's talking about. This seems to happen to everyone and I wonder why. Should linkers turn off commenting to make sure that the discussion go on in the appropriate forum? Or will those who comment only do it at the linker's web site because they feel safe discussing things there as opposed to doing it at a weird web site they've never seen before?
Another thing I wonder is: What do you expect when you comment here?
Do you want/expect/demand a personal reply? Would you be offended if I replied to some of the other people's comments but not yours?
I don't care what you do with my comments. For all I care you print them out and use them as toilet paper (although it would be one awesome kind of toilet paper).
It depends on the kind of comment 🙂 Whether I actually asked for something relevant or if I just commented how great (/ terrible) something was.
I just comment because I like terrorising Smurfs openness and the fact you have good humour.
I find it harder to get something into my Bloglines than to get up the courage to comment. I usually save my words though for when I have something worth saying or (as in this case) the author wants the feedback. As for what I expect, I'm simply hoping someone may find the information useful or be inspired to write something themselves. I'm not really one for expectations though. If someone did find the supplemental paragraph or two interesting, all the better, but it's not the end of the world if nobody notices it either.
I comment for the sake of adding to the discussion. A personal reply to every comment I write isn't expected at all. Though I do feel more inclined to comment when I know some sort of acknowledgment is likely – which is why I rarely comment on high traffic high comment blogs, your comment just gets lost in the rush.
Like everyone else I'll only comment if I feel I have something to add.
I do think there's a knack to writing posts that invite commentary and over time I'm hoping to work out what that is :-).
Like everyone else I'll only comment if I feel I have something to add.
What is your comment/visitor ratio?
I comment to let the author know I appreciated what they wrote or to add to the discussion (which may be a response to the original article or to someone else's comment). I don't expect a personal response or acknowledgement.
As most here, I try to limit my comments to the (rare) occasions I feel I have anything meaningfull to add. No need for personal replies to my comments.
I think if people post an entry on their blog linking to someone elses article they should disable commenting and direct their visitors to comment on the main article's system just as a courtesy to the author.
I can be long winded at times so sometimes, if I feel that I have more to say than just a basic comment, I will create my own post and reference the original.
Thanks for the compliment (and, by the way, being compared to Smurfs is great, I love them! :-)).
If even just to say that you evaluated the comment.
Yes, and that's one of the reasons why I take the time to answer peoples' comments, to encourage them and to show my gratitude.
Ha ha, you know I'm a sucker for links! I don't blame you for people commenting at your web site, I just wonder why they choose to do it there instead of here.
Yes, I saw that, and I wrote about it today.
I think if people post an entry on their blog linking to someone elses article they should disable commenting and direct their visitors to comment on the main article's system just as a courtesy to the author.
Yes, you're probably correct with that.
Perhaps should linkers activate pingback from comments in their blog to your post.
Absolutely, sounds like a good idea! However, many blogs don't accept pingbacks either (although mine does).
It's always easier to comment in a blogpost written by someone you know, or someone you have received feedback from before. Therefore if this person blogs about your post, he or she might receive numerous comments on your topic due to this.
By the way, the annoying "Comment preview" thinge would stop many from commenting your blog. Slows down the process and scares users from posting comments.
Perhaps should linkers activate pingback from comments in their blog to your post. By doing that they will ensure the comments are crossposted to the original article.
Hey – you know Jeroen? Slight sidetrack, but I noticed him on the left. JM is the bee's knees.
Personally, I get a little sad if I don't get replied to if I make a comment I've actually put more than 2 minutes thought into, but then… I don't reply to every comment I get, so I suppose I should lead by example. It does have a nice feel-good factor to get acknowledged when you comment on a blog of someone you're interested in (professionally, I mean), or respect in some way (fangirlism).
Yes, I know Jeroen and I think he's a great guy!
That's why I try to reply to most comments I get. I mean, people put time and thought into sharing, so naturally I want to show my gratitude for that as well as encourage it.

As social insects living in a colony, honey bees must communicate with one another. Honey bees use movement, odor cues, and even food exchanges to share information.
Honey bee workers perform a series of movements, often referred to as the "waggle dance," to teach other workers the location of food sources more than 150 meters from the hive. Scout bees fly from the colony in search of pollen and nectar. If successful in finding good supplies of food, the scouts return to the hive and "dances" on the honeycomb.
The honey bee first walks straight ahead, vigorously shaking its abdomen and producing a buzzing sound with the beat of its wings. The distance and speed of this movement communicates the distance of the foraging site to the others. Communicating direction becomes more complex, as the dancing bee aligns her body in the direction of the food, relative to the sun. The entire dance pattern is a figure-eight, with the bee repeating the straight portion of the movement each time it circles to the center again.
Honey bees also use two variations of the waggle dance to direct others to food sources closer to home. The round dance, a series of narrow circular movements, alerts colony members to the presence of food within 50 meters of the hive. This dance only communicates the direction of the supply, not the distance. The sickle dance, a crescent-shaped pattern of moves, alerts workers to food supplies within 50-150 meters from the hive.
The honey bee dance was observed and noted by Aristotle as early as 330 BC. Karl von Frisch, a professor of zoology in Munich, Germany, earned the Nobel Prize in 1973 for his groundbreaking research on this dance language. His book The Dance Language and Orientation of Bees, published in 1967, presents fifty years of research on honey bee communication.
Odor cues also transmit important information to members of the honey bee colony. Pheromones produced by the queen control reproduction in the hive. She emits pheromones that keep female workers disinterested in mating and also uses pheromones to encourage male drones to mate with her. The queen bee produces a unique odor that tells the community she is alive and well. When a beekeeper introduces a new queen to a colony, she must keep the queen in a separate cage within the hive for several days, to familiarize the bees with her smell.
Pheromones play a role in the defense of the hive as well. When a worker honey bee stings, it produces a pheromone that alerts her fellow workers to the threat. That's why a careless intruder may suffer numerous stings if a honey bee colony is disturbed.
In addition to the waggle dance, honey bees use odor cues from food sources to transmit information to other bees. Some researchers believe the scout bees carry the unique smells of flowers they visit on their bodies, and that these odors must be present for the waggle dance to work. Using a robotic honey bee programmed to perform the waggle dance, scientists noticed the followers could fly the proper distance and direction, but were unable to identify the specific food source present there. When the floral odor was added to the robotic honey bee, other workers could locate the flowers.
After performing the waggle dance, the scout bees may share some of the foraged food with the following workers, to communicate the quality of the food supply available at the location.

N.J. actress Piper Perabo arrested at Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court hearing

By Amy Kuperinsky | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
New Jersey actress Piper Perabo was arrested for civil disobedience during the confirmation hearing of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
"I was just arrested for civil disobedience in the Kavanaugh hearings," Perabo, 41, tweeted on Tuesday. "Many citizens before me have fought for the equal rights of women. I can't be silent when someone is nominated to the Supreme Court who would take our equal rights away."
In the video clip that accompanies her tweet, Perabo can be seen standing up at Kavanaugh's hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee after protesters, including Women's March co-founder Linda Sarsour, begin to shout. Perabo was ushered out of the room by law enforcement.
Perabo, an actress and activist who grew up in Toms River, starred in the 2000 film "Coyote Ugly" as Violet "Jersey" Sanford and has continued to work in film and TV in the years since, including in the ABC drama "Notorious." She has previously rallied to support of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program and has objected to Kavanaugh's stance on women's reproductive rights.

The Huffington Post reports that Perabo was among a group of protesters who were arrested at the Kavanaugh hearing on Tuesday. They included protesters from the activist group Code Pink, Shaunna Thomas, co-founder of the women's rights group UltraViolet, and Sarsour and Bob Bland, co-founders of the Women's March.
The Hill reports that 22 people were arrested on Tuesday at the Capitol for protesting the Kavanaugh hearing.
Some protesters standing outside the hearing dressed in red "handmaids" robes and white bonnets, emulating Margaret Atwood's (and Hulu's) "The Handmaid's Tale."

Madeleine's ship comes in with Tidelands premiere
A rising star will be one of the cast attending Brisbane's world premiere of the first Australian Netflix original series, shot throughout the southeast.

ACTOR Madeleine Madden says the championing of women's sexuality in Netflix series Tidelands was liberating.
The 21-year-old rising star plays a young revolutionary among the community of seductive half-human, half-siren Tidelanders, led by Elsa Pataky's character, in the series, which is Australia's first Netflix original series and was filmed across southeast Queensland this year.

Show filming in Salisbury
"It is definitely a very sexy show," Madden said.
"It's very female-driven. It's a matriarchal society, and that was quite liberating.
"If we had to do things a bit naked or an intimate scene it was good, because it was very much the women in control and we had female directors, which really changes the vibe on set.
"No one came away thinking it was distasteful or vulgar.
"It's empowering, and I think that's why people will enjoy this show, and why I think it's appropriate for what's happening around the world at the moment.
"And everyone wants to be a mermaid."

Madden, along with co-stars Pataky, Charlotte Best, Marco Pigossi, Mattias Inwood and Aaron Jakubenko, will walk the red carpet at the world premiere in Brisbane tomorrow.
It is almost a homecoming for Madden, who spent more than half the year in Queensland filming Tidelands, followed by Dora the Explorer on the Gold Coast for the past four months.
Following starring roles in Mystery Road and Picnic at Hanging Rock this year, she plans to split her time between the US and Australia next year.
"I've spent more time in Queensland than my own house. It's been great," Madden said.
"With Tidelands coming out and Dora I think I'll be over in America a fair bit next year, which I'm very excited about. That's kind of a new chapter."
"I'll be going back and forth for work. I love Australia and I get so homesick all the time so no plans to move."

What decade does your sex life belong?
Fugget Satire
The Shuffle: Out of My Comfort Zone
Dec 9, 2019 | Arts & Life, Music
By Tora Matys
The semester is drawing to a close, and so is my time here at NAIT. It's bittersweet because while I'm ready to dive headfirst into the world of radio and live the dream, I'm going to miss my instructors, classmates and most of all writing for The Nugget.
I was pushed into writing for The Nugget by former editor Nikita Eleniak and I'll never look back. I've learned so much more then I thought I was going to when I first started radio and writing, but also about myself. This playlist is an ode to all that–being pushed out of my comfort zone, never giving up no matter how tired we all are and the true power of friendship (as cheesy as that is).
So tune in, turn on, but don't drop out.
"Roll the Bones" – Rush
Of course, I have to start off with Rush and this is a song I live by. It's all about taking chances and making your own future. The lines: "Why are we here? Because we're here, Roll the bones. Why does it happen? Because it happens, roll the bones," has always reminded me to not let anything hold me back and that no one actually knows what they are doing. Because really, if Geddy Lee never rolled the bones would we even have Rush? When you're stuck in the future and don't know what to do, just think WWGLD (what would Geddy Lee do?) and he would 'Roll The Bones'.
"Comfort Zone" – The Murlocs
This song is off their newest album Manic Candid Episode which I must have listened to on KEXP at least 100 times since it came out earlier this year. The album, as a whole, has a very chill yet eerie feeling to it but I always get sucked into it. This song in particular is a slower one perfect for those moments when the anxiety from leaving your comfort zone is taking over. The slow droney guitars bring you back down to earth and the lyrics remind you that everyone has to leave their comfort zone at some point, but you can always go back.
"Tired as Fuck" – The Tragically Hip
This was a personal anthem for me, taking it very literally. I'm always tired as fuck running off stress and coffee. I'm always looking for a nap. This song is off the final album Man, Machine, Poem and has a very indie and poetic feel. It sounds similar to lead singer Gord Downie's solo work and a lot different from the classic TTH sound.
"LSD" – Skeggs
Live, Sleep, Die. This song carries all the classic skater vibes; a twangy guitar, a weird vocal effect, a groovy bass line and a message about wanting more than to just live, sleep and die. The track will remind you that life can get repetitive and it's easy to get sucked into that but only you can "enjoy the sunshine" and change your life so that you enjoy it.
"You Can be Your Silhouette" – King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard w/ Mile High Club
The album Sketches of Brunswick East is a collaborative effort between King Gizz and Mile High Club, two Australian indie bands known for their very chill yet busy sound. Together they made the perfect study album, sounding like something you'd hear in a hipster coffee shop but way cooler.
I recommend the ENTIRE album, but this song is a pleasant reminder that you are your strongest critic and that taking a moment to step back and look at what you're doing is important. There were countless times throughout the semester where I'd be crying on the studio floor over a project that I didn't think was good enough (but still ended up getting 97 per cent) and I'd have to stop, go for a smoke and a coffee and listen to this song to take a minute for myself. Take my advice and take a moment for yourself when it starts getting to be too much.
"Smoko" – The Chats
Don't look too deep into this one, it's literally about going out for a smoke break. I'm not condoning smoking by any means, however, the smoke pit has always been the bonding grounds for people. You all huddle in a group and stress smoke and bitch about projects. Sometimes that just feels good. Before anyone goes out, someone yells 'SMOKO?' and we all assemble like the B team to go out for our team building. This song is just plain goofy and has a super fun bass line plus a hilarious music video. It's perfect when everyone just needs to take a smoko break and chill.
"Relentless" – Arkelles
This song is an absolute BANGER! I can't tell you the number of times I played it on NR92. Being born in '96 and literally always sleeping with the radio on, the song resonated so hard with me. I have a goal and ready to get it, and I'll be relentless until I get there. The hard-hitting kick drum and vocals will push you through the day.
"What You Meant" – Excuses Excuses
I still can't get over Excuses Excuses as a whole. I met this band from Ontario through the radio program and got the pleasure of having them in the studio for an interview and jam, and they are hands down some of the coolest dudes I've ever met. You can listen to the interview on NR92's Soundcloud. This is my favourite song by them. The crunchy guitar and pounding drums fuels me every morning. This song is all about following your dreams no matter who you are or what anyone says. "I won't run from who I am. I won't run. So help yourself to who I am."
"Road" – High and Dry
This really isn't even a real song. I made this for a project. But this is the first song I ever wrote, sang and produced. Doing it ripped me out of my comfort zone. Prior to this I had never sung in public or even actually put a song together. It was super stressful and I cried a lot over it but I never caved in–I just kept editing. I even kept fixing it after I handed it in, and now I don't mind it, so I left the comfort zone a little more and published it for the world to see on Youtube (good luck finding it). The song is about the next chapter of my life–moving to B.C. for my practicum.

Release Date of Third The Hobbit Movie, Second Movie Retitled
Sunday, September 02, 2012 Movies No comments
There has been a little confusion among fans for quite some time regarding Peter Jackson's much-awaited adaptation of The Hobbit. The once single book has become a two-part movie adaptation that has now, in turn, became a trilogy on its own right.
Even avid fans have jumbled the facts, titles have been switched and a lot more. But recent revelations from the team behind The Hobbit Trilogy has put these confusions and jumbles to an end. The release date of the movies has been updated and the titles has been set to right order.
Following the release dates of the three Lord of the Rings movies that warmed up the winter of December, the first two Hobbit movies will be released in December as well. But the third installment will be released on a summer that goes against the pattern.
According to THR, The Hobbit no. 3 will be The Hobbit: There And Back Again and will hit theaters on July 18, 2014. This was then the title of the second movie back when it was intended as a two-part release. But now due to some changes the second movie was in turn retitled The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
The first two movies -- An Unexpected Journey and The Desolation of Smaug -- retain their original schedules on December 14, 2012 and December 13, 2013, respectively.
This simply proves that fans were quite right after all regarding some title rumors when some domains were registered for The Hobbit. And because of the additional materials that will be added to the movies, Peter Jackson confirmed that the team may shoot some additional scenes sometime in 2013.

'A Quiet Place 2′ May Not Be Shot in Hudson Valley After All
YouTube/Paramount Pictures
A box office hit filmed in New Paltz, Beacon and Pawling may not be returning for the sequel.
Ever since John Krasinski announced that he would be shooting a sequel to A Quiet Place, the Hudson Valley has been buzzing about when production would begin in our area. Well, it looks like we may not want to hold our breath, because another New York region is on the filmmaker's radar.
According to Syracuse.com, Krasinski was in western New York this week, scouting locations for A Quiet Place 2. The filmmaker and former star of The Office was spotted wearing a Boston Red Sox hat and chatting with fans outside a cafe near Buffalo.
Previously, producers confirmed that filming for the new film would begin in July in "Upstate New York," but no further details were given. It's still very possible that portions of the film will still be shot in the Hudson Valley. Even though a majority of A Quiet Place was filmed in local towns, some scenes were also filmed further upstate in Utica.
Emily Blunt, Krasinski's wife, is expected to reprise her role from the last film along with new cast member Cillian Murphy. The film is slated for release in May of 2020.

Say you'll be where? Spice Girls taunt Australian fans by taking back promise of tour
Melanie Brown announces a visit down under – then reveals she was just 'manifesting' idea

The Spice Girls have continued to taunt their Australian fans by saying a down under tour was imminent and then retracting the promise within hours.
On stage at London's Wembley Stadium for the final show of their UK tour on Saturday night, Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown seemed to confirm a tour would spice up the lives of Australian audiences in 2020, saying: "See you in February in Australia!"
The announcement sent Australian fans into a spin on social media, as the 1990s pop group have never toured the country – famously cancelling a scheduled show in Sydney in 2008 citing members' family commitments.

2020 looked more like a wannabe tour in the cold light of Monday morning, however, as Brown said in a radio interview that an Australia tour wasn't quite so certain, and that she was just "manifesting" the idea.
"I'm always going to say the Spice Girls are going to continue and continue to tour the entire world," she said.
"I've got a bee in my bonnet about it. We need to come to Australia, first out the gate. We've done London and now we need to come to Australia. So I announced it on stage, yes, without everybody else signing off on it. But I figured if I put it out there I figured maybe it's going to happen."
Earlier on Sunday evening Geri "Ginger Spice" Horner apologised for leaving the Spice Girls in 1998 – a move that shocked fans at the time and was seen by many as the beginning of the end for the group, which went on hiatus for almost eight years in 2000.
"I'm sorry," she said. "I'm sorry for leaving. I was just being a brat."
Since that first hiatus the Spice Girls have re-formed repeatedly for appearances and tours, with varying lineups. The just-completed reunion tour featured only four of the group – Horner, Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Emma Bunton – with Victoria Beckham sitting out.

Q: Mechanize - Not able to parse POST form for automated submission :-)
I am trying to download a page, fill out a form on the page and submit it. I like python and came across mechanize. I can download the webpage successfully, verify that the page has 2 forms in it, however, mechanize won't recognize the second form (method POST) even though I can verify that the webpage data downloaded by mechanize clearly contains the 2nd form. Hence, I cannot even proceed to modify the values and submit the form I am interested in. I am on Python 2.6.1 on OS X 10.6.8. Any advice is very appreciated.
My code
import mechanize
br = mechanize.Browser()
br.set_handle_robots(False)   # no robots
br.set_handle_refresh(False)  # can sometimes hang without this
br.addheaders = [('User-agent', 'Mozilla/6.0 (X11; U; i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008071615 OS X 10.2 Firefox/3.0.1')]
url = 'http://www.abcd.com/test.html'
response = br.open(url)

I can verify using a response.read() or get_data() that there are two forms, like below
<form id="lookupFormX" action="/lookup/" onSubmit="return submitLookupForm('lookupForm', 'download');" method="GET">

                View a Site Report
                <input type="hidden" name="facet" style="margin-right:2px; font-weight:normal; font-size:85%;" value="sitereport" readonly/>

                <input style="margin-right:2px; font-weight:normal; font-size:85%;" name="q" type="text" id="railtext_v11pt" value="e.g. yahoo.com"
                        onfocus="clearDefaultNote(this,'e.g. yahoo.com');"
                        onblur="addDefaultNote(this,'e.g. yahoo.com');" />

            </form>

<FORM action="userfeedbackpost.html" id="friendForm" name="friendForm" method="post">

        Your Name:
        <input name="your_name" type="text" SIZE=35/>

        Your E-mail:
        <input name="your_email" type="text" SIZE=35/>

        Subject:
        <input name="subject" type="text" style="width:648px" SIZE=106/>

        URL this concerns:
        <input name="url" type="text" style="width:648px" SIZE=106/>

        User ID:
        <input name="test_id" type="text" SIZE=35/>

        Type of inquiry:

            <SELECT name="type" id="type" style="width:262px" onchange="makeSelection()">
                <OPTION value="Choose">Choose One</OPTION>
                <OPTION value="Bug report">Report an error</OPTION>
                <OPTION value="Helpful Information">Send us a suggestion</OPTION>
                <OPTION value="Other">Other</OPTION>
            </SELECT>

        Facet in question:

            <SELECT name="facet" style="width:263px" id="facet">
                <OPTION selected value="Choose">Choose One</OPTION>

                <OPTION value="Links">Links</OPTION>
           </SELECT>

       Are you the site owner?:

           <input type="radio" id="siteowner_yes" name="siteowner" value="Yes"> Yes
           <input type="radio" id="siteowner_no" name="siteowner" value="No" checked> No

        Your Message:
        <textarea class=userfeedbackTA NAME=message ROWS=12 COLS=80 style="width:646px;"></textarea>

 Send Your Feedback or Question.

 P.S. We will use the information above only to help provide you feedback. This information will not be used for any other purpose.

</FORM>

mechanize only shows the following:
Form name: None
<GET http://www.test.com/lookup/ application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  <HiddenControl(facet=sitereport) (readonly)>
  <TextControl(q=e.g. yahoo.com)>>

when I use the following code
for form in br.forms():
    print "Form name:", form.name
    print form

My Question:
- How can I get access to the second form? (using nr=1 gave me an error)
Edit:
I tried this version out too, same result, 2nd form will not show up:
request = mechanize.Request(url)
request.add_header("User-agent", "Mozilla/6.0 (X11; U; i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008071615 OS X 10.2 Firefox/3.0.1")
response = mechanize.urlopen(request)
forms = mechanize.ParseResponse(response, backwards_compat=False)
response.close()

for form in forms:
  print form

Edit 2
I also tried to modify my code to look like this:
# Cookie Jar
cj = cookielib.LWPCookieJar()
br.set_cookiejar(cj)

# Browser options
br.set_handle_equiv(True)
br.set_handle_redirect(True)
br.set_handle_referer(True)
br.set_handle_robots(False)

# Follows refresh 0 but not hangs on refresh > 0
br.set_handle_refresh(mechanize._http.HTTPRefreshProcessor(), max_time=1)

br.addheaders = [
('Cookie','mbox=PC#1327356910232-537677#1410633293|check#true#1347561353|session#1347561287712-498080#1347563153; s_cc=true; s_sq=%5B%5BB%5D%5D; s_nr=1347561671754-Repeat'),\
('Accept-Charset','ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3'),\
('Accept-Encoding','gzip,deflate,sdch'),\
('Accept-Language','en-US,en'),\
('Cache-Control','max-age=0'),\
('Connection','keep-alive'),\
('Referer','http://www.siteadvisor.com'),\
('User-Agent','Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_8) AppleWebKit/537.1 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/21.0.1180.89 Safari/537.1')
]

I picked up the header values from my browser and tried to plug them in the mechanize browser instance. Yet I only can see the 1 form.

A: I was having a similar issue to you, and I found that modifying my headers and including RobustFactory() to deal with 'bad' HTML solved the problem.

`br = mechanize.Browser(factory=mechanize.RobustFactory())
br.set_handle_robots(False)
br.addheaders = [('User-agent','Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.6) Gecko/20070725 Firefox/2.0.0.6')]`

This was after a lot a fiddling around with them. This solution works for the general case as well as the specific URL I was using, but adding:

br.addheaders.append(['Accept-Encoding', 'gzip'])
may be necessary if the URL you are trying to access is GZipped. You can check if this is the case here: http://checkgzipcompression.com/

A: You should've provided the url, since if I put your given html with forms in text variable this happens:
In [61]: forms = mech.ParseString(text, 'fake') # imported mechanize as mech

In [62]: for form in forms: print form; print '-'*5
   ....:
<GET fake application/x-www-form-urlencoded>
-----
<GET /lookup/ application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  <HiddenControl(facet=sitereport) (readonly)>
  <TextControl(q=e.g. yahoo.com)>>
-----
<friendForm POST userfeedbackpost.html application/x-www-form-urlencoded
  <TextControl(your_name=)>
  <TextControl(your_email=)>
  <TextControl(subject=)>
  <TextControl(url=)>
  <TextControl(test_id=)>
  <SelectControl(type=[*Choose, Bug report, Helpful Information, Other])>
  <SelectControl(facet=[*Choose, Annoyances, Downloads, Links])>
  <RadioControl(siteowner=[Yes, *No])>
  <TextareaControl(message=)>>
-----

First is default one (added by the parse) ignore it. So nice happy two forms.

In this day and age, technology has really improved, allowing people to be able to do almost anything online. Just one of the great things the internet can provide is online meetings. Online meetings can actually provide lots and lots of great benefits. Here, you will learn about the top 3 benefits to online meetings. So out of all the benefits to online meetings, here are only the top 3 benefits.
One of the first and greatest benefits to online meetings is that it is super convenient. Whenever you plan a business meeting or just a casual meeting with your friends, then you first need to plan where to go and make sure everyone makes it. If you live far away from where the meeting is going to be held, you will have to travel really far; which can be really inconvenient. But if you have meetings through online meetings, you can be sure that people will attend because of the hassle freeness of it all. You can be sure that an online meeting will provide great convenience for both you and the other people attending the meeting.
The second benefit that online meetings can provide is video conferences can be saved. This benefit is important especially for business meetings that need to be watched over for reference. Also, because of this benefit, you no longer need to worry about taking notes to remember what you learned or talked about in that meeting. This benefit is also great when meeting with friends; you can watch as many times as you want what you all talked about.
And finally, online meetings are beneficial because they can save lots of time. Instead of calling everyone to meet you at your office for a meeting, you can now just do online meetings with these people. This will save time because you can have the meeting then and there; no more having to wait for people to arrive, or go to the office yourself. Because online meetings help you save time, you will be able to focus on more important things than traveling to wherever the meeting is at. This is actually one of the greatest benefits to online meetings, even though it was the last one we mentioned here.

The w3w 24hr Adventure Challenge
Today marks the launch of global location app What 3 Words first National Campaign in the UK, #knowexactlywhere. The #knowexactlywhere campaign showcases the app alongside the Emergency Services who utilise What3Words to save lives.
We've been using the app for just over a year now, and *touch wood* we've never had to use it in an emergency situation. What we do use it for though is sharing awesome finds with each other.
From climbing spots, to riverside views, w3w is the easiest way to share a precise location; great for meeting up in the forest, or on the beach.
The w3w 24hr Adventure Challenge.
Ah, yeah that. To support the #knowexactlywhere campaign, w3w tasked us to come up with some ideas on how we could promote the app. We could have, popped up a few photos and joined in with the hashtag... but that didn't seem like much fun. So we pitched the idea of the w3w 24hr Adventure Challenge, and well, here we are. We can't wait to kick it off, firstly because it will be a lot of fun, but also because it will be the first time we share an adventure live through social media. We want to bring you along with us, and you'll be able to follow the entire challenge on both Instagram and Twitter. We'll be sharing tonnes of videos throughout the day, and you'll be able to catch the highlights on the w3w socials too! (more details will come out through the week, but you can expect, climbing, waterfalls, mountains, handstands and pretty much anything else in-between). But not only that, we want you to join in too by sharing your adventurous photos using the w3w app. Whether it's a handstand in the garden, a walk through the forest, a hike up a mountain, or a stroll along the river. We want these 24hrs to be the most adventure packed hours as possible and we need your help to do it, so download the app, try out the photo function (which can share direct to social media) and get ready to join in on Friday.
We've put this guide to using the app for you here - How to Use What3Words
Join in with the hashtags #knowexactlywhere and #KEWadventurechallenge and we'll share your adventures throughout the day too!
If you don't already; make sure we're connected on Instagram and / or Twitter
We're using this challenge to raise money and awareness for Mountain Rescue England & Wales, an incredible group of volunteers, putting their own lives at risk on an almost daily basis. Help us reach our £500 target and visit our Just Giving page; linked here.

Someone tells you that women don't earn as much as men do and you get all fumed up ready to place your wrath onto all employers and the paternalistic ways of the society. Agreed, being a woman is difficult and there are many reasons why they may fail to climb up the ladder in their respective careers. It may be because of domestic responsibilities, it may be because of discrimination, or it may be a result of another reason that isn't in the hands of the working women. However, have you considered why the outcome could be a result of women's own mistake?
Don't hate me but I'm a woman and I know this to be true! According to authors Linda Babcock and Sara Lashever and their book Women Don't Ask, "women are far less likely than men to negotiate at work and that costs them around more than half a million dollars in earnings over the course of their career". This alarming statistic might have you thinking differently about women's under-sized earnings due to discriminative factors.
Women, learn to speak up! A little extra cash in that bank account won't hurt now, would it? So, Here are some salary negotiation tips that will help you compete with the men-menace society and set the balance straight.
1) Raise the Bar: Tell yourself that you are worth more than the world thinks. You have the skills, you have the experience, you have all the required qualifications, and you're amazing at what you do (and maybe even more hard-working and determined than the male competition). If you've got it all, don't be modest and be oh-so-happy with whatever they offer you at the first go.
Bear in mind that your employer is always expecting you to negotiate the pay (unless it is specifically stated that the salary is not-negotiable). Otherwise, every single first-offer is a less-than-we-can-afford offer because the employer has intentionally set a margin. Acknowledge this fact and decide to negotiate. Don't think of their first bid as a take-it-or-leave-it option. It never is!
2) Do your Research: Try not to get overexcited about getting the job and just being happy with the fact that you made it. That happiness will certainly be short-lived when you find out later that your co-worker receives a higher pay for an unknown reason. The unknown reason will probably be the fact that she negotiated and you didn't. By that time, the negotiating power is usually less than it is at the time of pre-employment.
Doing a little bit of research earlier will also be worth your time because what you find might not be what you had in mind. Take for instance the time when you needed say dissertation assistance from any UK dissertation service. Didn't you research the quote well, before availing their help? If you hadn't, you might have end up paying a lot more than the actual. Therefore, research is important in every aspect of life, even be it searching your twin-flame.
You need to know what to expect before you approach the "salary negotiation" inevitable step. Inadequate research and mere assumptions will lead you down a dead end on this path, so make sure you are prepared in advance. Find out what the organization is paying if you know an employee or two who works there. You can also network to discover this information. Do a bit of online research on the pays of other similar organizations in the same geographical locations.
3) Come up with a proposal: Convincing requires facts. And facts require research. After a sufficient amount of research you might be able to come up with a decent counter offer. But what about how to back it up? A counter proposal that lays out the reasons, current statistics, and reasons why you think you deserve an increased pay is a formal and commendable way to negotiate your salary.
4) Prepare: Prepare yourself for the negotiation phase by predicting expected questions and answers. Learn online what a typical negotiation conversation is like and how certain answers will increase your chances of convincing your prospective employer to raise the pay.
You'll learn that a little positive can go a long way when it comes to salary negotiation. Take that positive attitude when you and make sure you earn what you're worth—no matter what your gender is!
