Men
are mesmerized and captivated by women with big breasts. Women with small
breasts are left unnoticed and envious of those women wooed by men because they
do not have the chest curves that attract men. These are some of the reasons
why enhancing breast size is important to women not endowed with big bosom. There
are a number of ways to enhance breast size and here are the common ways:
Enhancing Breast Size Method No.1: Surgery. Breast augmentation or breast
enhancement surgery is the most common way to enhance the size of the breast.
Silicone and saline-filled implants are the implants used in this method. The
procedure is not only expensive but it is also risky. Although this is the most
poplar solution for women who want to get bigger breasts, careful thinking and
planning should be made before subjecting yourself under the knife. There is no
guarantee that you will get your desired results and once you are not satisfied
you cannot get your old body and breasts back. Enhancing Breast Size Method
No.2: Breast enlargement exercise. Targeting the muscles underneath your
breasts can make your breasts appear firmer and bigger. This can be
accomplished through breast enlargement exercises like push ups, bench press
and other chest exercises. It is better to get the advice and help of a
professional trainer to avoid injuries and to get better results. Enhancing
Breast Size Method No.3: Herbal breast enhancement pills. To avoid the risks
and high cost of enhancement surgery, advance science has discovered the
secrets of herbs and its capability to help women enhance their breast size
naturally.
The discovery of herbs that contain substances similar to Elite Male Extra female
estrogen led to the development of herbal breast enhancement pills. Natural
treatments are becoming so popular over the last few years because they are
proven safe, effective and inexpensive. The Forum of Executive Women, the
region's premier organization of influential women leaders in business, today
released the research results from its 7th annual Women on Boards survey, a
look at how the boards at the 100 largest publicly held companies in the
Philadelphia region reflect gender diversity. Although this year's research
shows slow progress in several areas, it will take more than 70 years at the
current rate to reach parity in local boardrooms. And Philadelphia companies
continue to trail the national average for the number of women leaders in
business . The research, conducted by The Forum of Executive Women's Executive
Suites committee in concert with professional services firm Deloitte &
Touche USA LLP, entitled "Women on Boards 2007: The Time Has Come,"
is based on 2006 data reported by the region's 100 largest public companies.
Here are key findings: o The number of female board members here increased less
than 1 percent over the previous research year - from 9.73 percent in 2005 to
10.41 percent in 2006. o The numbers are better for the 15 local companies in
the Fortune 500, with 13.77 percent women board members. However, this lags the
national 2006 Catalyst figure of 14.6 percent for Fortune 500 companies overall.
o The percentage of women leaders in business serving in executive positions
remained stagnant - with 8.7 percent in 2006, compared to 8.61 percent in 2006.
This number is tracked because it represents a key "pool" for board
candidates.
Of those executives listed as most highly compensated, women made
up 6.48 percent of those reported as top earners. o Overall racial diversity on
boards decreased by 1 percent, while the number of seats filled by
African-American women declined from 7.14 percent in 2005 to 5.75 percent in
2006. The number of Asian-American women holding board seats also dropped, from
2.38 percent in 2005 to 1.08 percent in 2006. o In 2005, 43 companies had no
female board members; in 2006 that number dropped to 40, a positive sign. o It appears
that "early adopters" - those companies which have added women
directors over the past few years - are gaining momentum. Published research
points to the critical mass or "tipping point" of a minimum of three
female board members or 25 percent. In our region, seven area companies -
Charming Shoppes, Inc., CIGNA Corporation, Genesis HealthCare Corporation,
Harleysville National Corporation, Kenexa Corporation, Penn Virginia Resource
Partners, and Mothers Work, Inc., now have boards comprised of at least 25
percent women members. The report, now available online at http://www.foew.com,
shows that despite what is a significant pool of qualified female executives
and an acknowledgement of the importance of boards reflecting the demographics
of their constituencies, most area public companies are still not making
sufficient progress to place women on their corporate boards.
What Does This
Mean? "At the current improvement rate, it will take nearly 50 years for
executive women leaders in business to reach gender parity, and nearly 75 years
to reach parity in board seats," said Elva L. Bankins, President of The
Forum of Executive Women, and Senior Vice President at CEO Resources, Inc.
"While there is some encouraging data, the numbers are essentially flat.
So we must continue to engage in discussions with our corporate leaders to
identify the obstacles and take advantage of all opportunities to make
strategic and meaningful improvements. It is essential that we remove the
barriers that are keeping our region from reaching its fullest potential."
"There is greater pressure on companies today than ever before," said
Bankins. "Times have changed. Having female board members is not just 'the
right thing to do,' but is essentially required in today's climate of increased
corporate governance scrutiny under Sarbanes Oxley. We can only hope that
United States companies will make more rapid progress voluntarily before
further regulatory intervention. If not, we may just have to learn from
countries like Norway. In 2002, with only 3 percent female representation on
boards, Norway mandated that 40 percent of its public companies' board members
be female. And that certainly got people's attention." "Faced with a
war for talent and demanding expectations for performance, organizations that
promote women into leadership positions will have an opportunity to add
diversity, capability, momentum and a strong ethical base to their ranks",
said Tara Weiner, Managing Partner Greater Philadelphia, Deloitte & Touche.
"We need to recognize that tapping into the full pool of talent makes
economic sense in a competitive landscape." Published research also shows
a strong correlation between higher shareholder returns and a higher proportion
of women leaders in business serving as executives.
A decades-long study of
Fortune 500 companies by the Glass Ceiling Research Center at Pepperdine
University showed that the companies with the very best records for promoting
women tended to be the most profitable. Gender-diverse companies are 69 percent
more profitable, according to a study published several years ago in the
Harvard Business Review. "It is often the female board members who raise
the most questions about how a company is cultivating a diverse pool of
employees to support its succession planning and whether the pool includes
women and people of color," says Vicki W. Kramer, co-author of
"Critical Mass on Corporate Boards: Why Three or More Women Enhance
Corporate Governance," released last fall by the Wellesley Centers for Women.
According to the study, three women board members are the "tipping
point." Only 76 boards among the Fortune 500 have three or more female
members, and only seven in this region meet that threshold. "It's a
mindset among top executives," said Michael Useem, Professor of Management
at The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. "But research
confirms that when governing board members are diverse, their firms are less
likely to break the law and more likely to perform well." A July 2007
study by New York-based Catalyst found that "gender stereotyping" was
one of the key barriers to women's advancement in corporate leadership,
regardless of leadership styles, resulting in organizations' routinely
underestimating and under utilizing women's leadership talent. As a result of
these statistics and studies, The Forum of Executive Women is focusing its
efforts on several fronts to increase the number of women on corporate boards.
The Forum offers direct support by providing names of qualified female
candidates to companies seeking to diversify their boards. The group also
continues to work closely with search firms that advise corporations on board
appointments; and to mentor and coach rising women to develop their leadership
skills. The Forum will also work with women leaders in business who are already
on corporate boards to increase the number of boards on which they serve, and
work more closely with those "early adopter" companies. A new
initiative will help build critical mass by targeting those 40 companies who
have no female board members -- requesting direct meetings with each of them
over the next 24 months to identify and resolve barriers. There can be several
causes of low libido in women. But, knowing what exactly causes low libido in
women, is the question for today. This article will explain some of the reason
why women suffer from this problem. Among other reasons, here are three of the
most common reasons why women have a lack of libido. 1. They are going through
emotional difficulties in their lives. With all of the things going on in a
woman's life it is no wonder she is not in the mood. You have to deal with the
children, the job, the bills, high gas prices, and your spouse bugging you
about not having sex with him. Life pressures can take a toll on your life.
