I was digging through stuff and found my old Advanced Photo System camera. APS was about the most useless advancement in photography ever. (The most useless being disc film.) Way to go Kodak, George would be proud.
Friday, Chad and Jeff attended an advanced composite fabrication workshop at the Kreysler & Associates manufacturing facility near Vallejo, California. The day started with a broad overview of composite technology and its applications for architecture. Attendees were then taken on a tour of the facility and watched demonstrations of carbon fiber being infused with resin by vacuum and closed-mold methods. At the time of the tour, the facility was being used to produce the cladding for SFMOMA (San Francisco Museum of Modern Art)’s new expansion, designed by Snøhetta, and participants witnessed each stage of the fabrication process for the unique panel system. We are excited by the possibilities and potential uses of this strong and lightweight material because is stronger and lighter than steel and comes in any color, texture, shape, or size.
The Tibetan Women’s Advanced Leadership Training organized by the Tibetan Women’s Association (TWA) kick started with a opening ceremony held at the House of Peace and Dialogue, Upper TCV School and was attended by dignitaries from the exile Tibetan Community.
Statistics say the Central Tibetan Administration is comprised of a 46% female and 54% male workforce, but this does not demonstrate the true situation. There is a shocking discrepancy of a low 3% of women at top level positions, in stark contrast to the 97% of males at high level positions. The same picture also fits in many other frames of Tibetan exile Diaspora.
The Tibetan Women’s Advanced Leadership Training (June 7 to June 17), an undertaking of the Tibetan Women’s Association, seeks to not only address this issue, but to tackle it by enabling women’s representation in the higher realms of representation and ranks of governance. Thirty professional and high potential Tibetan women leaders from all over India participated in this 11-day training, which is the first of its kind. Additionally, this training accentuated the implementation of the Kashag’s eight point policy on women’s empowerment launched in October 2010. It also provided a niche platform and a creative forum for potential women leaders to identity and hone their leadership skills.
