The best workplaces for women, according to Fortune
Fortune on Thursday named the 100 Best Workplaces for Women, ranking health system Texas Health Resources as No. 1.
For the rankings, researchers surveyed more than 400,000 employees at organizations certified by Great Place to Work about factors that contribute to a strong team at work and a "great career," Fortune's Jessica Rohman and Tabitha Russell write. Organizations had to employ a minimum of 50 women for consideration on the list.
Make the business case for employee engagement
The researchers ranked the organizations based on four measures, including:
1) How well women rated their organizations based on more than 50 metrics defining a great place to work, such as ethical leadership, positive workplace culture, and benefits;
2) How women's results on all survey questions compared with those of their male peers, particularly for factors where women have traditionally lagged behind men, such as leadership access and professional recognition;
3) Whether women were treated consistently across an organization, no matter their position or the nature of their role; and
4) How well women were represented in the organization overall, and in the organization's management and executive leadership teams.
One step toward a great workplace: truly engaged leaders
Health care organizations that made the cut
Advisory Board members who made the list included:
1. Texas Health Resources (Arlington, Texas)
11. Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare (Memphis)
25. Atlantic Health System (Morristown, New Jersey)
28. Scripps Health (San Diego)
30. Stryker (Kalamazoo, Michigan)
46. Baptist Health South Florida (Coral Gables, Florida)
55. Miami Children's Health System (Miami)
60. CHG Healthcare Services (Salt Lake City)
63. Yale-New Haven Hospital (New Haven, Connecticut)
69. Genentech (South San Francisco)
70. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (Memphis)
76. Southern Ohio Medical Center (Portsmouth, Ohio)
86. BayCare Health System (Clearwater, Florida)
91. Novo Nordisk (Plainsboro, New Jersey)
92. OhioHealth (Columbus, Ohio)
100. Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (Atlanta)
Other health care organizations on the list include the American Heart Association, at 96, and Great Lakes Caring, at 87.
Making a great workplace for women
The researchers in compiling the rankings found that while many companies' efforts to promote gender equity "focus disproportionately on working mothers," women's perception of work-life balance does not have a strong effect on their plans to stay with a company long-term.
Rather, when women are treated as full-time members—regardless of position—they're five times more likely to plan long-term careers with an organization than colleagues who feel differently, Rohman and Russell report. And women who said they made a difference at their company are 27 times more likely to consider their organization a great place to work.
The Best Workplaces for Women also make investments in professional development, Rohman and Russell report. Texas Health Resources, for instance, helps employees earn academic credentials, such as the GED or graduate coursework.
And the experience of women at a given company was a good measure of the experience of other coworkers, particularly younger, lower-ranking, minority, and LGBT employees, Rohman and Russell write. "It turns out that exceptional work cultures for women also produce outstanding workplaces for all employees," Chinwe Onyeagoro, president of Great Place to Work said. "Companies that lead in this way—by emphasizing the daily engagement and long-term buy-in of women—will see better performance from their teams and a stronger slate of leaders to helm their organizations in the future" (Rohman/Russell, Fortune, 9/15; 100 Best Workplaces for Women 2017, accessed 9/15).
Why you're in danger of building the wrong workforce
To succeed in the future, health care organizations will need to provide care in the lowest-cost, most appropriate setting—and to accomplish this, they'll need a different complement of staff than in the past.

With Halloween a few short weeks away, it's time to get decorating! There is something special about the spooky, seasonal decorations of the Halloween season. It's so much fun to make things just a little bit creepy to get in the mood for the season. This adorable, but simple lollipop table decoration for Halloween is a fun and slightly creepy idea for a Halloween party or a unique way to set out goodies for your neighborhood trick-or-treaters. And if you use organic lollipops, you'll know you're giving out the best treats possible!
Start by taping down any excess lollipop wrapper to make your pop as close to round as possible. If making for personal use, you can remove wrappers, but if for trick-or-treating, it's best to keep the wrappers intact.
Cut a square of tissue paper that is large enough to wrap around the lollipop, with a bit of excess trailing down. Wrap the tissue around the pop, gathering the excess at the base of the candy.
Secure the tissue by sliding the ring onto the lollipop stick, overtop of the gathered tissue. You can use tape to ensure that the ring stays in place, if desired.
Spread the webbing over the tablecloth, then place your creepy spider and bat lollipops all over the "web".
Let your guests or trick-or-treaters grab their treat right from the web! It's a perfectly spooky table decoration for Halloween!
There is nothing creepy about the ingredients in the Koochikoo Organic Lollipops we used in our table decoration for Halloween! These are are the world's first no-sugar, organic lollipops, which makes them a great treat to share with friends and family, as well as the trick-or-treaters that come knocking on the door for Halloween!
Created by Grandma Sal, these delicious treats are a healthier alternative to the sugary snacks that are so often placed into trick-or-treaters' bags. Koochikoo lollipops come in four amazing superfruit flavors that kids and adults both will love. Choose from blueberry lemon, Fiji apple, pineapple orange, and pomegranate blueberry, which are made with natural flavors and organic coloring. They sweeten the lollipops with organic tapioca fiber, making them completely free of processed sugar and artificial sweeteners. Plus, they are only 10 calories per pop!
In addition to being certified organic, Koochikoo sugar-free lollipops are also gluten-free, vegan, and kosher. They are manufactured in a peanut-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free facility. This makes them a wonderful choice for just about any ghost, goblin, or fairy princess that might find their way to your door.
If you'd like to give Koochikoo lollipops a try or if you want to pick some up for trick-or-treaters and Halloween get-togethers, you can save 10% off your purchase with the code lollipower at the Koochikoo store on Amazon!

Thundercat racing heading to Boscombe beach

The British Thundercat racing championship gets underway on Saturday April 18, with the RYA recommending spectators head to Boscombe beach
Boscombe beach is set to host the season opener of the British Thundercat racing championship this weekend (April 18-19).
These 12ft inflatable speed machines will race between Boscombe and Bournemouth piers from 11:00 to 15:30.
Thundercats are powered by 50hp outboard engines and piloted by a two-person team racing around a close-to-shore circuit, making them a spectator's favourite.
More than 20 teams have entered this year's championship and anticipated front-runners include Lymington's Team 33 (Bligh Julius and Charles Hatfield) and Team Microlink (organiser James Tapp and Ed Redman).
Thundercat racing was invented in South Africa in the 1980s and has since caught on all across the world, with 18 countries now hosting their own UIM-classified race series.
Throughout the season teams have to compete across three types of courses: surf, circuit and long distance.
Upcoming events include Watergate Bay (May 8-10), Fistral Bay (May 30-31), Southsea (27-28 June) and Swansea (August 8-9) before the finals at Newquay's Tolcarne Beach Complex from September 18-20.

North rants about Seoul blocking its Web sites
North Korea lashed out on Monday at South Korea over Seoul's blocking of its online propaganda sites, including one on the social networking service Twitter.
The denunciation by Uriminzokkiri, a Web site operated by the North's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland, confirms Pyongyang was behind a recent wave of propaganda on such Web sites as YouTube and Twitter.
Uriminzokkiri (www.uriminzokkiri.com) is blocked from access in South Korea, which considers North Korea's propaganda material illegal, citing an anti-communist law.
"The traitor's group is trying in vain to shut the eyes and ears of the South Korean people with the fascist National Security Law, running counter to the era of information," it said in a commentary monitored by Yonhap News Agency.
North Korea is one of the world's most secretive nations, restricting its people's access to the Internet and any other flow of information in and out of its territory. But its elite are seen as having a keen interest in information technology.
The country has been expanding its propaganda warfare as South Korea and the United States push Pyongyang to admit to sinking the South Korean warship Cheonan in March, killing 46 sailors. The North denies sinking the ship. Yonhap

Hard to believe that more than thirty years have passed since Carl Sagan first shared his remarkable labor of love, Cosmos, with the rest of the world. The thirteen-part miniseries was an instant success and an unlikely cultural phenomenon. Originally broadcast on public television in 1980, the show spread the gospel of science to hundreds of millions of people around the world, and remains one of the watershed moments in television history. And now, all these years later, I'm thrilled to report that Cosmos is finally returning to prime time. The updated miniseries will begin airing this Sunday, and will be simulcast on Fox and National Geographic, as well as a half-dozen other networks. Expectations are high. The new show will be hosted by the Director of the Hayden Planetarium (and America's favorite astrophysicist), Neil deGrasse Tyson, while entertainer Seth McFarlane is providing most of the funds. In related news, McFarlane also generously donated the funds that allowed the Library of Congress to purchase the collected papers of Carl Sagan.

The sought-after Sports Star of the Year award should have been won by Hekkie "Hexecutioner" Budler, says WBO bantamweight champion Zolani "Last Born" Tete in reference to the prestigious award that was won by ace athlete Caster Semenya in Bloemfontein on Sunday.
The three nominees - from the original list of 23 - were Semenya, Budler and top cricketer Kagiso Rabada.
"Hekkie won three world titles on one night and that is history in local boxing. To cap it all, one of those belts is the Ring Magazine which was last won in 1950, we are told," said Tete. "One could say Hekkie achieved all that in one fight when Caster won many races. Those who follow boxing and know its challenges will understand when I say you just cannot compare athletics to boxing.
"You are lucky to have two fights in a year.
"We represent our country around the world under difficult circumstances. But the mere nomination says we are being recognised and we appreciate it."
Hekkie "Hexecutioner" Budler has made the final top five list for the SA Sports Star of the Year Award.
Tete will seek to unify his WBO title with WBA super champion Nonito Donaire in the semifinal of the World Boxing Super Series (WBSS) next year. Promoter Kalle Saureland, who is staging the WBSS, said that the venue will be announced soon.
When told of what Tete had said of him, Budler responded: "I am grateful to hear a person of Tete's calibre say this. The nomination was an honour enough for me."
Budler will bid for the first defence of his WBA Super belt against Hiroto Kyoguchi on December 31 in Macau, an Island near Hong Kong.

It should go without saying that everyone in Blaine County should shop locally—or risk seeing the stores and jobs we love disappear. There's been far too much of that already.
Yet, like other Americans, we are so programmed to find the cheapest whatsit, we too often ignore quality and convenience, overlook savings and forget the benefits of the social interactions we experience when shopping locally.
Tomorrow is Small Business Saturday, a national effort by hometown businesses to put their best foot forward. But like locavores, who try hard to purchase food from local sources, local shoppers need to plan ahead and adopt a positive mindset.
Think quality: Local business owners take a personal interest in ensuring that shoppers get what they want and don't have to hang on hold at 1-800 if there's a problem. They don't sell cheap stuff that unravels or breaks. If it does, they make good on it.
Think time savings: Most local businesses wrap gifts for free, which means serious time and money savings.
Think gift certificates: Nearly every store, restaurant or service provider offers gift certificates or cards—favorites of teens and those hard to buy for.
Think creatively: Stumped for a gift? Local staffers have great ideas that can result in unique and memorable gifts.
Think friends and health: Research shows that caring and sharing are important to good health. Serendipitous moments with friends and neighbors encountered when shopping locally build tight communities and improve health.
Think of getting $$ back: When money leaves our towns, it doesn't come back. Kept here, it comes back in the donations every business makes to local organizations and causes.
If the shopping dollars circulate at home, dividends will follow.

Trichambaram Srikrishna Temple
Trichambaram,Kannur, Kerala
(SKU: KL13/1032)
The shrine of Sri Krishna can be found sited in the village of Taliparamba, which is cited in the district of Kannur, which is based in the south Indian state of Kerala.
There was a well renowned saint by the name of Sambaran who was believed to have meditated in this shrine and because of this; this shrine is referred to by the name- 'Trichambaram'.
The idol which is of prime significance which is associated with this shrine is that of Lord Krishna following Kamsavadham. While one can view Trichambaram Sreekrishna sitting in Raudra manner, which is regarded to be rather ferocious, people who live in the vicinity of the shrine and around it are of the opinion that one must not pray to the Lord throughout dawn. In this shrine, Lord Krishna is seen in the form of a small child and he is seen trying to slay the evil, Kamsa. The main altar of the shrine is seen to be in the shape of a circle, it has two floors and it has a canopy which is made out of copper. There is a gold colored thazika kuddam which is found on top of it. The shrine is believed to very significant from the point of view of an archeologist and one can see a magnificent set of mural works of art which are located within the shrine. Carvings and pictures that depict panoramas from the great epic that belongs to India- the Mahabharata are seen engraved on wood. The murals that are rather beautiful date back to the fifteenth and the sixteenth centuries. The idol of Lord Krishna is seen facing the eastern direction, the great Goddess Mahalaxmi can be seen seated in a pond of floating lotuses during the peak of the summer season and it is believed to be theertham. Every devotee can take a holy dip inside the water body which can be found towards the northern direction of the shrine of Goddess Durga. Moreover, towards the north western direction of the main shrine, there is a separate shrine which is built to commemorate the great Lord Shiva. Also, to the northern side of the shrine there is a cow shed, but in today's times it is seen to be empty as there are no cows.
The shrine celebrates the yearly temple festival, and it is celebrated on a grand scale for a period of fourteen days, it is said to begin on the 6th of March, usually the festival commences with the hoisting of the holy flag, and this festival comes to an end on the 20th of March. On this day, Lord Krishna's kin- Balarama, his brother is gotten to this shrine and these two idols reside together at the shrine of Trichambaram. For a period of eleven days, during this festival, there is a ritualistic dance which is performed, while carrying the idols of Lord Krishna and his brother Balarama. On the very final day of the celebration, his brother's idol is taken back to the shrine of Dharmikulangara and Krishna stays in the Trichambaram shrine.
