Immigrant Archive Project – Eduardo Caballero [FULL INTERVIEW]
Eduardo Caballero is a pioneer in the Hispanic TV, Radio and Advertising industry. He's been a friend and mentor to me and countless others who have followed in his footsteps. Tony Hernández Filmmaker and Founder of the Immigrant Archive Project (IAP) interviewed Eduardo about his life, career and aspirations. ENJOY.
Adios, Eduardo
Mild-mannered and soft-spoken, yet dynamic and purposeful, he evoked the urbane and debonair image of another era — a cubano from days long-gone, a marriage of Savile Row and old Havana elegance. With Eduardo Caballero gone, an era has indeed disappeared. He had been near the birth of the U. S. Hispanic Market and had helped potentiate its growth with a pioneering spirit and the keen eye of a true visionary. by Daisy Expósito-Ulla

When negotiating starting salaries, most U.S. women and men don’t ask for higher pay
The gender pay gap in the United States is sometimes linked to differences in the way women and men approach negotiating their pay. Most U.S. workers who are not self-employed say they did not ask for higher pay than what was initially offered the last time they were hired for a job, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. But men are slightly more likely than women (32% vs. 28%) to say they did ask for higher pay than what was offered.
Be Kind, Rewind
Way back when life was simple, we merely needed to remember to return the VHS rentals on time and, of course, to “be kind and rewind.” The video store new-release wall was our news source for the latest content, and you could buy some artificial butter-flavored microwave popcorn at the checkout counter. Movie release windows were also rather straightforward, so we could expect to find a movie at the video store six months after its theatrical release.
