Then he should slide about 10- (maybe) 90 meters to the title of the National Hockey League franchise of Detroit, the Red Wings, and their iconic winged logo wheels were inspired by the first team to win the Stanley Cup, the Montreal Amateur Sports Association winged Wheelers. The Origin of the Red Wings dates back to 1926, when Detroit won the NHL franchise. Because the team owners bought the Victoria Cougars list of the Western Hockey League, they named their young team the Detroit Cougars. Success was elusive in those early years, so the city newspapers held a competition to change the name. The winner was the Falcons, but the new name did not change the team's fate. In 1932, the team was bought by millionaire James Norris. As a young man, he played for the MAAA Winged Wheelers, which won the first Cup in 1893. MAAA was a sports club that sponsored many sports, including cycling, which was the origin of the winged wheel logo worn by all MAAA athletes.

    the female quotient MODERN GUIDE TO EQUALITY Advancing equality in the workplace SECTION MODERN GUIDE TO EQUALITY introduction It is undeniable that we are living in an era of unprecedented change. Tradition is being tossed in favor of innovation and ideation, igniting global transformation in our businesses and com- munities. Unfortunately, the corporate workplace has not trans- formed to reflect modern culture. With four generations in the work force for the first time in history and growing expectations from young employees, parity in the workplace is both a social cause and a business imperative. We have created The Modern Guide to Equality to accelerate the change in the workplace we want. Together with our partners, Atlantic Media Strategies and Catalyst, we are addressing the problem holistically, combining generational insights, workplace trends and interviews with industry leaders to develop a toolkit and corporate workshops with next-step actions for change. Of course, this is just the start. The Modern Guide to Equality is a living and breathing playbook. A playbook powered by collaboration with industry leaders, business experts and employees at every level of the corporate pipeline working together to disrupt the current work culture, activate next step solutions and create accountability standards for progress. We look forward to working together with you to make these changes a reality. TEAM TFQ 2 MODERN GUIDE TO EQUALITY INTRO THE FEMALE QUOTIENT About TFQ The Female Quotient is committed to advancing equality in the workplace through collaboration, activating solutions for change and creating accountability. We believe that when you put women in any equation, the equation gets better.

  • An Empowering New Art Program Takes Flight at the Wing
    An Empowering New Art Program Takes Flight at the Wing The exclusive women’s club is shining a spotlight on established and emerging female artists with its new Salon program. By Angela M.H. Schuster On June 22, 2018 With its rose-hued walls and girl-power programming, the Wing has become something of a legend in its own time. Since the club first opened in Manhattan’s Flatiron District in 2016, it has been regularly revered, occasionally mocked (all that pink!), and even investigated by a human rights group for its women- only policy. But the Wing, which now counts four locations in New York City and Washington, D.C., and is preparing to open two more outposts in California—both of which are decidedly less pink—later this year, is no doubt a net positive for professional women seeking a stimulating environment in which to work, network, learn, and socialize. And now, the formidable club is adding “cutting-edge gallery” to its laundry list of enriching services. Independent curator Lolita Cros has been tapped by the Wing cofounders Audrey Gelman and Lauren Kassan to provide yet another amenity for its members to enjoy: the option to explore—and buy—art by established and emerging artists right off the club’s walls. The concept is twofold, providing a platform for underrepresented and emerging female artists, and exposing members to new and inspiring works that might just end up on their own walls at home. Muse recently spoke with Cros to chat about the program—and learn about her top female artists to watch.
