Before Title IX, women were head coaches of more than 90 percent of women’s college teams. Now about 40 percent of women’s college teams are coached by women. Only about 3 percent of men’s college teams are coached by women.A 2019 Harvard Business Review study found that “women outscored men on 17 of the 19 capabilities that differentiate excellent leaders from average or poor ones.” Another analysis of gender studies shows that when it comes to leadership skills, men excel at confidence, whereas women stand out for competence.

Ethan Hawke is inspired by others' excellence and ability to see the context of the larger community, those who value their work but don't take it too seriously. One of his heroes, River Phoenix, exhibited this kind of humility by taking on roles that were meaningful to him but were seen as controversial. And I really admired that and when I get asked to play roles that might not suit my ego or might not suit my vanity I think of what River would say or how River would think. Robert Benton, director of Places in the Heart, who wrote Bonnie & Clyde along with a million other things, you know, when you meet these guys there’s a great humility to them.

In theory, solving problems with software development is easy — just find the best custom software development company to bring your ideas to life. Research shows that most software development projects fail as a result of miscommunication or misunderstanding between the client and the software company. Ensure your software development collaboration method takes an approach to software delivery that builds software incrementally from the start of the project instead of trying to deliver it all at once near the end. Before hiring a company, ensure that it is skilled in various aspects of software development, particularly in the right one for your project.

Gamma-ray bursts, in particular, can result from two things: long GRBs are from star deaths, and short GRBs are from collisions between things like neutron stars.#GammaRayBursts #Stars #Space #Telescope #Hubble #NASA #Seeker #Elements #ScienceA long gamma-ray burst (GRB), the type examined in this study, occurs when a massive star about ten times the size of our sun goes supernova, collapses into a neutron star or black hole and fires a relativistic jet of material into space.

The two main ideas of stoic happiness are that problems are caused by your reactions to events not the events themselves, and the only things you can control are your thoughts and your actions. The old idea of happiness that the stoic sort of enjoyed was that happiness was a sort of tranquility so this is really all about a recipe for avoiding unnecessary disturbance and anxiety so you don’t try and control things that you can’t. Now, the only things you can control are your thoughts and your actions and that is it. What is outside of your thoughts and actions is an outcome that you can’t control, but what is still within your thoughts and your actions is how much effort you put into changing the world so you can still spend your life trying to create change but your impetus is to do the very best that you can, the best that you can do, but you’re not committing yourself to an outcome that is out of your control.

Transcript: So what a lot of people don’t think about with respect to foreign intervention is the idea that the tools and processes that are developed as a part of foreign intervention can come to be used domestically. The administrative dynamics that are often associated with foreign intervention so those that are highly bureaucratic, those that are very militaristic again become a part or people get used to operating within those dynamics and the are able to import those types of administrative structures into again a number of domestic institutions. So if human capital are the skills that a person develops, physical capital are just those actual physical like tools that people develop as a part of foreign intervention. So again when individuals are completed or they’re finished with their part of the foreign intervention they like to use or continue to use those tools that they’ve developed.

But sustainable business practices aren't just right for the planet; they can also work miracles for the reputation of your brand and your bottom line. Prepare a detailed plan on how to make your business more sustainable, and stick to it.A business that is not sustainable is bad news for the planet. Once this is completed, look again at how you operate and think how your business could be even more sustainable.

This past weekend, Conor McGregor made his triumphant return to the UFC. You could see leading up to the fight that Conor was going beyond promotion and becoming a wild man. Leading up to the fight, Conor was unusually deferential to Cowboy.I believe Tony showed Conor that if he wants to win, he can’t win with the old version of himself.

So here are three ways to measure your progress objectively and effectively. These simple measurements, while small, give me insight into my progress and whether or not I’m on track to achieve my monthly goals. If you don’t take the time to think through what you want to measure, it can be easy to let feelings run the show and succumb to inconsistency as a result. Look for new ways to measure and optimize your progress, and you’ll develop a variety of tools you can use each day to achieve your goals.

Supplements must comply with FDA regulations when they are being produced as it relates to ingredient safety, purity, manufacturing standards, health claims, and what ingredients can or cannot be included, etc, but the FDA  does not have the authority to review dietary supplement products for safety and effectiveness before they are marketed," according to the FDA website. While the FDA has regulatory power over supplements, the FDA states, “that dietary supplements do not need approval from FDA before they are marketed, and manufacturers and distributors do not need FDA approval to sell their dietary supplements.” This means that nutritional supplements, like the ones that fill the shelves of stores like Whole Foods or GNC, are not FDA approved. The FDA has stipulated, “that THC and CBD products are excluded from the dietary supplement definition.” What!?While Congress deliberates and the FDA continues to gather information about CBD and shares its research with the industry, CBD and all supplement companies must prove to consumers that they are making products with integrity and full transparency.

In his new book, SIZING PEOPLE UP: A Veteran FBI Agent’s User Manual for Behavior Prediction, Robin Dreeke, the former head of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, shares his process for recognizing people's "tells" — those physical and verbal ticks that can reveal a person's true thoughts and intentions. There are people who just won’t allow others to disrupt their way of doing things, and they tend not to vest in others simply because we all have somewhat different ways of getting things done. People who consistently create a positive brand for you are pure gold. Excerpted from SIZING PEOPLE UP: A Veteran FBI Agent’s User Manual for Behavior Prediction by Robin Dreeke and Cameron Stauth published by Portfolio, an imprint of The Penguin Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House, LLC.

With less than $10,000 (adjusted for inflation), these 14 entrepreneurs turned their business ideas into reality. How much money does it take to start a new business from scratch?If you are opening a microbusiness ($3,000) or a home-based business ($2,000 to $5000), the Small Business Administration estimates the process will require significantly less money upfront. For these 14 entrepreneurs, it took a dream and less than $10,000 to make their business ideas a successful reality.

It's not the hot market the company predicted. If you're skittish about DNA testing services, you're not the only one — and it's directly affecting one of the heavyweights in the field. Wojcicki also suspected that fear of a US recession might lead people to cut back on unnecessary expenses, and a home DNA test could easily be one of the first things to go. In that regard, 23andMe is acknowledging the reality that DNA testing isn't as hot a market as it was in previous years.

What this entrepreneur failed to grasp was the difference between a “venture backable” business and a “lifestyle business.” A venture backable business is a company whose business model and technology have the potential to generate significantly outsized returns, often 100 times or more of the valuation of initial investment and a $1 billion plus valuation. The best investors are looking to understand how capital raised today is going to be deployed to ensure the business’s capacity at raising capital tomorrow. When starting a business, entrepreneurs should understand the leading indicators demonstrating why they shouldn’t raise venture capital. Key among these is understanding the difference between a venture backable business and a lifestyle business, not taking capital just “because it’s there” and understanding the dilution that comes alongside raising venture money.

Since Colorado became the first state to legalize cannabis for recreational use in 2013, the cannabis business has grown from a bold experiment to a multinational, billion-dollar industry. What's more, as the 2020 U.S. elections inch closer and the cannabis legalization platform gains momentum, pressure on the federal government to pass nationwide cannabis reform will increase. Then in June, U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore.) introduced the State Cannabis Commerce Act, which would enable companies to trade cannabis resources across state borders. Sandwiched between two nationally legalized cannabis economies, the federal government will face a reality where they either need to make big, sweeping cannabis reforms, or be left behind as our neighbors reap the benefits of the industry’s rapid growth.

Chinese tech giant Tencent paid $330 million for a 40 percent stake in Epic Games in 2013, but the company is showing no signs of relocating from its North Carolina home. Founded in 1999 in San Francisco by Nick Swinmurn, Zappos operated there until 2004, when it relocated to Henderson, Nevada, a move CEO Tony Hsieh (whose VC firm Venture Frogs was one of the first investors in Zappos) has said was because of the number of call centers and customer service employees in the Las Vegas area. When the digital marketing automation company was acquired by Salesforce for $2.7 billion in 2013, it was the largest acquisition of a tech company in the city’s history. And although Salesforce’s headquarters are in San Francisco, it kept Marketing Cloud’s operations in Indianapolis and made the city its regional headquarters in 2016.

But in 1989, the company launched a drugstore perfume line, called Parfum Bic, backed by $20 million in marketing dollars. The 2012 launch of Bic for Her pens—with sparkly ink colors designed specifically for women—fit into the company’s focus on stationery, but nothing could save this wildly misguided, useless and out-of-date concept. But if you lose your focus on what made your company truly innovative, and try to sell products to a consumer base you don't fully understand, or fall for cheap marketing ploys, you'll be throwing money down the drain. As author Gary Keller explained in his 2013 book, The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth behind Extraordinary Results, the most productive, successful, and fulfilled people maintain a laser focus.

As business leaders, one of our main responsibilities is to create a culture where team members look forward to coming to work in the morning. Positive work culture is extremely important to me, and I am very fortunate that I am now in a leadership position within an organization that values this at all levels—from its board of directors, to full-time staff, to production teams. Happiness doesn’t necessarily mean that it brings us overwhelming joy, or that we don’t feel some of the work is tedious, but that we take pride in our work and accomplishments and seek to share the fruits of those accomplishments with the people in our lives.A healthy work culture starts with whom you hire because no matter how good the training and culture is, you can’t teach people to care about your values unless they are already aligned with them.
