...for every founder was pretty logical at the moment when NanoGene was created, but as it seems through time this should have changed. As time went by roles within NanoGene were changing and also responsibilities, so compensations and salaries may have changed according to the duty the founder perform and some equivalence with market salary for the same job. As a potential venture investor the way the equity is divided within the founders is relevant, because it´s easier to negotiate and get to agreement when you treat with one or two, rather than a group of people (with common interests, but potentially different points of view). •Evaluate the size and composition of the founding team. What is the difference between being a founder and an early employee? Hint: try to understand well what it means to have "options". The founding team was too big, this is a problem when decision-making time comes, you have to agree with everybody else, so agreement tend to be simpler when less people( and opinions) are involved. In respect to the composition of the team, it is better that somebody owns at least a minimum amount more than the others, so he can have the decision control. A founder owns a percentage of NanoGene Technologies´s equity, while an early employee has an amount of options, what refers to a discount when he wanted to acquire shares. So an early employee has a potential participation in the NanoGene if they decide to do effective. Also the salary of a founder is bigger...

...Succeeding the Founder How to Lead a Successful Transition as the Successor Photo Copyright © 2012 Judd Patterson Photo Copyright © 2012 Judd Patterson Reprinted by permission from The CEO Advantage Journal, a publication of CEO Advisors, LLC. Visit w w w.tcajournal.com. by Ben Anderson-Ray and John Kobasic N AUGUST 24, 2011, Steve Jobs resigned his role as Apple CEO and was replaced by Tim Cook. This followed a seven-month period in which Cook was already functioning O O as CEO while Jobs focused on fighting the health problems that ultimately took his life on October 5. Many are watching to see how this unique leadership transition will work out for Apple, but it is not the first unique leadership transition they have faced. Jobs, of course, was the cofounder of Apple, but organizational infighting led to his ouster when John Sculley took over in the mid-1980s. Sculley oversaw the growth of the Macintosh and thus the company, but when that growth slowed and new internal issues arose, a series of CEOs failed to get the company back on track. In 1997, a more experienced Jobs returned and drove tremendous growth. The leadership history of Apple is a good reminder that a leadership transition–particularly one involving the founder– presents both risk and opportunity to any organization. If done poorly, it spawns uncertainty, conflict, and stress, stalling growth and exacerbating misalignment that may or may not have already been there. If done well...

In 2012 and 2013 the current ratio is above 1, but in 2014 the current ratio below 1 which means that the net working capital becomes negative. The Founder Technology should strengthen its ability to pay the bill in the short run. TSINGHUA TONGFANG’s current ratio between 2012 and 2014 slightly declined. Although it is stable but it is lower than TSINGHUA TONGFANG’s ability to pay its bill in short-term should be strengthened. Compared with TSINGHUA TONGFANG, the current ratio of the Founder Technology is less stable, but in 2012 and 2013 the Founder Technology did better than TSINGHUA TONGFANG.

...Sexual dimorphism in animals - that is the difference in appearance that subsists between the male and female sexes and the expression of certain exaggerated traits - is thought to be caused by balancing sexually selected benefits and naturally selected costs. The researchers (Darrel J. Kemp, David N. Reznick, Gregory F. Grether, and John A. Endler) posited that three effects could cause the evolutionary courses of the ornamentation of male Trinidadian guppies: founder effects, population-specific female preferences for certain characteristics in males, and sensory drive (that is, the greatest change in ornamentation would be best perceived by guppies and their main predator C. Alta). The researchers transplanted two populations of Trinidadian guppies (Aripo and El Cedro) that have been previously studied by Endler into areas with a similar decrease in predation to the Classic Aripo experiment (1980) in order to compare the path of evolution between them. Initially, the researchers noted that the “starting point” of the two populations differed in that there was limited evolution at the control site for El Cedro over 29 years which contrasts with the marked evolution of the El Cedro introduction population in 2-3 years. After cross-examining the two introductory populations, the researchers showed that “El Cedro introduction fish only evolved brighter iridescence” while the “Aripo introduction fish evolved more extensive black, orange, and iridescent markings” (pg. 4340).

...F.A.N.C.Y. Focused And Naturally Confident Youth After School Based Program Girls Group Executive Summary The overwhelming need for gender specific youth programs have been recognized across the United States. Gender specific programming goes beyond simply focusing on girls. It represents a concentrated effort to assist all girls (not only those involved in the justice system) in positive female development. It takes into account the developmental needs of girls at adolescence, a critical stage for gender identity formation. It nurtures and reinforces “femaleness” as a positive identity with inherent strengths. The founder of T.E.A.M., Inc.

...National Board of Medical Examiners, and a clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco. She is founder and director of the Women's Mood and Hormone Clinic. She wrote "The Female Brain" and, just released, "The Male Brain." Brizendine will appear on HLN's "The Joy Behar Show" tonight at 9. She begins by explaining that the male and female brain are mostly alike but some profound differences do exist. * The male brain has an area called “the defend your turf” in the brain. Called the dorsal premammillary nucleus. Which is larger in the male brain which makes them more alert to threats. While the female brain has something called “I feel what you feel” which allows women to get in sync with other peoples emotions by reading facial expressions, voice tones, and nonverbal cues. * The biggest difference in males and female brain is that males brain have a 2.5 times larger sexual pursuit area. * And beginning in their teens males produce 200 to 250% more testosterone that they did during pre-adolescence. * So for example if testosterone were beer a 9 yr old boy would be getting one cup a day, but a 15 year old boy would get about 2 gallons of beer in one day. That’s a lot of testosterone. That testosterone then fuels their sexual engines making it even more impossible for them to not thing about the female body parts and sex. The article then begins to talk about “the man trance” Which according to luann is the glazed eye look a...

...By Yeo Chia Hui In an ideal world, nothing is gendered － colours, toys, chores and more aren’t segregated or discriminative; and most importantly, words are gender neutral. Alas, this is not how it is. “Many of us see language as something neutral. But language is political and often times patriarchal. In English, for instance, the word ‘testimony’ is derived from ‘testis’ (in Latin, related to ‘bear witness’ and ‘male’). You probably get the idea: only male (or men with testicles) can bear witness to an event,” said conceptual artist, Tan Zi Hao. Therefore, when the opportunity arise to come up with a female-themed artwork, Zi Hao along with Karmen Hui Chia Yin and Tan Sueh Li, typographers and co-founders of TypoKaki, designed the Women's...

She acknowledges that it is important to move away from the negative perceptions of females in the workplace where being female is no longer synonymous with a request for special treatment or even lawsuits. It is Sandberg’s opinion that in addition to institutional barriers, there is less desire amongst females to strive for leadership positions because of the factors such as the social stigma...

...In a blog by The Guardian, Laura Bates, founder of the Everyday Sexism Project, addresses a controversial topic: the dress code. Throughout the blog, she challenges the ethics of dress codes, deeming them dangerous and discriminatory towards young women. Unfortunately, her writing includes bold assumptions and emotionally charged statements. Although promoting women’s causes provokes admiration from her readers, Ms. Bates statements concerning the negative ramifications of the dress code ring hollow. Her apparent decision to combat the evils of sexism results in a blog filled with tiresome rhetoric devoid of concrete evidence. Therefore, contrary to Ms. Bates position, the dress code does not undermine young women. To begin, shopping for uniforms should not unduly hinder a student from abiding by the dress code. Shopping specifically for school uniforms would not differ significantly from a young woman’s typical,...

...The Intern: A Film That Embraces Woman’s Stereotypes The film The Intern is directed and produced by Nancy Meyers, a famous female director and producer. In 1999, Meyers divorced her husband, Charles Shyer after their twenty years marriage with two daughters. The broken marriage actually gives Meyers inspiration to create more films and also gives her challenges to be a single mother as well as a female director. However, rather than action movies that gives audiences excitement, Meyers is talented in creating “warm” films that catch women’s changes of life attitudes at different ages. Therefore, the most frequent theme that she uses for her films is love, and her productions like It’s Complicated, The Holiday, and The Parent Trap, are widely...

...discuss the characterizations of the female board members in relation to the behavioral model of leadership. When I reviewed this case of women on different boards serving a variety of positions, I felt that there was a comparison with all these individual women whether they are the only woman director on board or whether they are among other women directors on board. However, it’s obvious that when the board only holds one woman the level of office difficulty is higher. The three stories of female board directors where they are the only females on board are very common. These women set a picture showing that they have to give 150% in order to be heard as well as a make a difference. Women who serve as the only female on boards are almost pushed out of the way, their opinions seem to not really matter. Their voices seem not to be heard either. The first woman states that: “You can make a point that is valid, and minutes later a male could make the same pointâ€, however the male will get congratulated where as the female will not. She also mentions that until the males in the board room realize that the females are not going anywhere, the respect is not given. Basically, the women have to work harder than the men to fit in, establish themselves as well as have their voices heard. The second lady and third lady confirm what the first female director says. They each state that there is a minimum of conversation between male and female board directors and very little interaction...
