Workplace witticisms, job jokes and career quips; who says work can't be a laughing matter?
"Hate-Proof Heart"
Amara was conceived uniquely. Not in the manner a youngster with criss crossed eyes or a giggle that tinkled like breeze rings is unique. No, Amara was different in how a beacon is not the same as a gleaming candle - she focused with a relentless inward light, impenetrable to the haziness that whirled around her.

THE PYGMALION EFFECT
The Pygmalion effect is a phenomenon whereby increased performance results from higher expectations. Higher expectations cause performance to rise, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as the Pygmalion effect—also called the Rosenthal effect. It is called for the Greek myth of Pygmalion, who, by his belief and expectation, brought a statue he had made to life. He fell in love with it. In the realm of psychology, the Pygmalion effect is the theory that states that if a person is expected to perform well, they are more likely to perform well; if they are expected to perform poorly, they are more likely to perform poorly. One can observe this impact in the workplace, sports, and education, among other places. The Pygmalion effect emphasizes the need for good expectations and their influence on personal performance and self-esteem.

Beyond the Numbers: Understanding the Societal Impact of Gender Disparities in Financial Literacy
Beyond the Numbers: Understanding the Societal Impact of Gender Disparities in Financial Literacy Although women have made great progress in the last few decades toward full equality, more needs to be done. The gender pay disparity in Europe is 12.7%. They are more likely to work in fields where wages are low and to encounter discrimination at work. In general, women have lower financial literacy than men. Many people lack basic knowledge of financial principles, with a significant gender gap in financial literacy. Women face unique financial challenges due to longer life expectancies, lower lifetime income, and career interruptions for child-rearing. This lack of financial knowledge puts women at risk of financial insecurity in retirement. Those with higher financial literacy are more likely to make better financial decisions, such as investing in the stock market and saving for retirement. It is important to understand women's level of financial understanding and address any gaps in financial skills.

Capturing the Hawaii Shaka
On Friday, June 21, Hawaii's Governor, Josh Green, signed Senate Bill 3312, also known as The Shaka Bill, to adopt the Shaka as Hawaii's official state "hand gesture." It's the first-ever official gesture adopted by any state in America. Having spent over two decades as a part-time freelance news and sports photographer in Hawaii, I've captured countless moments and collected numerous images of people flashing the shaka sign. Whenever I covered a notable person visiting Hawaii, I would ask them to pose with a shaka for my collection. Requesting a shaka photo required a delicate balance of timing and rapport-building to avoid disrupting the event flow or the subject's concentration. Over the years, I loosely refined this skill and captured some memorable shaka moments and a few shaka fails.

Heart's Key
When I was a little girl, I thought fairy tales were disappointing. Snow White was going to live with a bunch of short men with big noses and absolutely none of them are hot? Intentionally? Couldn't she do better for herself if she was so devastatingly beautiful? No? That seems disappointing.
