Women in Business
I’m sure you’ve been filling out a RFP, or some mundane company information form, when you see the section that asks if your company is a Women-Owned Business. My company is not run by women, however, I work with several companies that have women owners and key stakeholders. There are some advantages to being a women-owned business, but according to this infographic, women still only hold 3% of c-level positions. This is changing though.

Diagramly – A Handy Tool For Creating Quick Flowcharts The best thing about Diagramly is how accessible it is. You just click a URL, and you’re in. There’s no download, no account registration, and you don’t even need Flash to use it. It really couldn’t be simpler to get started. The worst thing about Diagramly (I’ll just get this out of the way right now) is the utter lack of documentation. Pretty easy to understand, right? Let’s take a look at the UI: I included Chrome’s address bar on purpose, so you’d see it really is a Web app. Here are just a few samples I picked at random: Why there is a Shield of David there, I have absolutely no idea. Once you’re done crafting your masterpiece, you can save it in one of a number of formats: Saving as an SVG is very handy if you have a desktop vector editing application (such as the free and open-source Inkscape). Should you use Diagramly for your multi-million dollar keynote?

Droit de vote des femmes Pendant l’Occupation de nombreuses femmes ont rejoint les rangs de la Résistance. Un engagement qui conduira la France libre du général de Gaulle à reconnaître l’égalité économique et politique des sexes. Le résistant communiste, Fernand Grenier, défend fermement et avec obstination les droits politiques de la Française à l’assemblée. Le 23 mars 1944, l’Assemblée consultative siégeant à Alger adopte le principe du droit de vote des femmes par 51 voix « pour » et 16 voix « contre ». Un mois après, le 21 avril, le général de Gaulle ratifie une ordonnance qui, à l’article 17, prévoit le vote des femmes et leur éligibilité : Les femmes sont électrices et éligibles dans les mêmes conditions que les hommes.Les Françaises obtiennent enfin le droit de vote et celui d’être élues. Elles voteront pour la première fois en 1945 et entreront au Sénat en 1946. Le nouveau pouvoir politique, plus jeune, issu de la Résistance, reconnaît enfin aux femmes leur pleine responsabilité de citoyennes.

Left Handed Facts 7 Stats 15% of people are left handed. I always thought this number was higher — and according to some of my left handed friends and family, also smarter? Well, according to this infographic, they are also more likely to become alcoholics — so I guess that’s a fair trade-off. If only 15% of people are left handed, think about the market that exists for left handed folks.

As we all know sleep is essential to life. It is one of the activities we will spend a large amount of our life engaged in. Sleeping works better than any medicine or home remedy, sleeping is the cure-all. One interesting tidbit that you may be unaware of which this infographic suggests is that color television has actually affected the way people dream. As a college student I now realize the importance of sleep. Share This Infographic Get Free Infographics Delivered to your Inbox

Au fait, c'est quoi, "l'effet Matilda"? 2% de noms de rue attribués à des femmes célèbres (nous en parlions dans notre revue de web pas plus tard qu’hier), à peine plus de 3% de personnages historiques féminins parmi ceux cités dans les manuels scolaires (ainsi que le révélait il y a quelques semaines une étude du Centre Hubertine Auclert), seulement 2 femmes au Panthéon français (dont l’une y repose en tant qu’épouse)… Mais pourquoi les femmes sont-elles si rares au contingent de ceux dont on reconnait l’apport essentiel aux progrès de l’humanité? Prisme sexiste (éventuellement inconscient) chez qui décide de rendre hommage ou pas à une personnalité en lui donnant un nom de rue ou en lui accordant un paragraphe dans un ouvrage de référence? Résultat de l’insuffisant accès des femmes à l’éducation jusqu’à des temps récents?

20 Examples Of Infographs That You Don’t See Every Day | I think we all know what an infograph is, and nowadays they are increasingly popular. The bad thing is that almost all of them are becoming boring and very similar. In this article I have collected 20 infographs that are very unique design and also interesting subjects. Twitter Dots: Mapping all Tweets for a specific Keyword Twitter Dots translates individual tweets as simple dots on a geographical world map. Mapping Android Activations Worldwide In the war for the next smartphone platform, all weapons are allowed, including some good old mapping captured in a 1080p HD video.

Tipping Etiquette Around the World Growing up I never really understood the tip, it always seemed as though we were just paying twice for someone to do their job. However as I’ve gotten older I’ve realized tipping is a pretty important thing. After all these people are handling your food and other important things you don’t want them messing with/up. As a poor college student tipping sucks, but I do it even if it is just a dollar or two, a tip is a tip right? Today’s infographic Tipping Etiquette Around the World does a nice job of comparing the way people tip in different countries. Being in the service industry is not all it’s cracked up to be, but the tips sure do help. Click to enlarge Share This Infographic Get Free Infographics Delivered to your Inbox

Dix injustices scrutées à la loupe La France a l’un des systèmes scolaires les plus inégalitaires des pays de l’OCDE. A gauche comme à droite, personne ne le conteste plus. Des études le pointent régulièrement, statistiques à l’appui. On redouble plus quand on a des parents ouvriers… 20,5% des élèves issus de milieux défavorisés - ayant des parents ouvriers ou chômeurs - ont déjà redoublé au moins une fois lorsqu’ils entrent en sixième, selon une étude de l’Insee parue en septembre. … et quand on vit en zone urbaine sensible L’Insee met aussi en valeur un facteur moins connu : l’impact du lieu d’habitation sur la réussite ou l’échec scolaire. A priori, cela semble logique car la population en ZUS a la plupart du temps des revenus modestes. On réussit moins bien au brevet si on est issu d’un milieu modeste La quasi-totalité des enfants de milieux très favorisés obtiennent le brevet des collèges haut la main (95,6%). Les devoirs aggravent les inégalités Là encore, la France fait figure de mauvaise élève.

What Shapes Our Language? Our language is constantly being shaped by a number of different influences, from social media and pop culture to other languages and even human error. Thanks to the ever-evolving Internet, new words enter our language almost daily.

Do You Know The Real Cost Of Social Media? These days if you’re not using social media to build your brand then you’re way behind the times. But many companies are fooled into thinking that social media marketing is free, or at least close to free. A new infographic published on Focus.com uncovers some of the costs of using social media for marketing, from staff costs to external fees, advertising and more, and discusses whether the ROI makes social media spending worth the cost. The infographic begins with a simple statement. According to the infographic, running a social media campaign is far from free. While it does look like Facebook fans spend more money on brands than non-fans, and that well-known brands did see an increase in traffic thanks to social media (most notably Old Spice with their Man Your Man Could Smell Like campaign which saw a 2700% increase in Twitter followers, an 800% increase in Facebook followers and a 300% increase in site traffic), was the money spent on these campaigns worth the return?
