Fewer than two in ten chief financial officers in the 350 largest British PLCs are women, only 4% of investment managers are women, and only 5% of corporations are led by a female CEO. There are more CEOs named Peter in the FTSE 100 than there are female CEOs. According to Lean In and McKinsey's 2020 Women in the Workplace report, which reviewed data from 329 firms, while entry-level roles are virtually evenly divided between genders, the ratio of women drops by roughly half at the senior VP level. Women make up nearly half of the workforce but hold just 38% of managerial roles, with the percentage decreasing with each additional level of seniority.

One thing breast milk lacks that formula makes up for: vitamin D. Because many mothers are weak in this substance, their breast milk is insufficient as well, and their kids suffer as a result. According to one research, formula-fed babies had better bone mineralization (stronger bones) than breastfed babies, which is why the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that breastfed kids take vitamin D supplements to compensate (ideally getting 400 IU per day in the first two months of life). Formula-fed newborns, on the other hand, are in good health as long as they consume 1 litre of infant formula every day.

According to research. However, scientists will be unable to determine how long lobsters live because traps are not designed to catch the largest lobsters.

If you’ve watched your little kitty charging around the living room when they’re feeling lively you know that cats are pretty quick, but you won’t believe this cat fact. They can hit speeds of around 30mph which is so fast that they could beat Usain Bolt in a 200-meter dash!

The moon used to be a hotspot of volcanic activity. As molten lava from the volcanoes solidified billions of years ago on the lunar surface, it contributed to the formation of distinct craters. NASA stated in 2014 that an Arizona State University team detected "irregular patches" on the moon caused by volcanic eruptions as recently as 50 million years ago. Fortunately, the moon's volcanoes have been dormant since then, so we won't be seeing any eruptions anytime soon.

It wasn't until the introduction of chess to Europe and the rise of Queen Isabella in the 15th century that the "adviser" was replaced with the "queen" and became the most powerful piece on the board.

Spiders, unlike humans, have blue blood. However, there is a scientific explanation for this. In humans, oxygen is bound to an iron-containing molecule, which gives our blood its red colour. However, in spiders, the molecule to which oxygen is bound contains copper, giving their blood a blue colour.

They begin by gathering citations for the word, documenting the source, and recording its contextual meaning. Then, lexicographers conduct database research, looking for evidence that people from various backgrounds used the word over time. Finally, dictionary editors look over the evidence and decide whether or not to include the new word in a future edition of the dictionary. As a result of this lengthy process, modern words like manspread, presstitute, and athleisure can now be found in several dictionaries.

The Big Dipper, for instance, is a famous asterism but the seven stars in this arrangement of stars represent less than half of the whole constellation known as Ursa Major. Another famous asterism is the three stars in a row that form Orion’s belt.

We noted before that butterflies enjoy eating, which is correct. What we didn't mention at the time is that their only source of food is fluids. In actuality, they simply lack the requisite chewing apparatus. Butterflies consume nectar or other liquid nutrition through their proboscis, which acts similarly to how you or I may use a straw.
