If you want to attract more job candidates, try making the language in your job listings gender-neutral.
A study from the job search website ZipRecruiter discovered that removing gender-biased words from job descriptions increased the number of applicants by 42 percent.
According to research from the American Psychological Association, words such as "support," "affectionate" and "understand" are examples of feminine wording, while words such as "leader," "aggressive" and "ambitious" are considered masculine.
The ZipRecruiter study found that job listings that include gendered wording attract an average of 12 responses, whereas those without gendered wording attract an average of 17 responses.
"When companies remove gender-biased keywords, the payoff can be huge," Jeanne Anderson, senior vice president of product marketing and optimization for ZipRecruiter, wrote on the company's blog.
Previous research on gendered wording in job listings published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that this level of imbalance has the largest effect on women.
"The results of these studies demonstrate that masculine wording in job advertisements leads to less anticipated belongingness and job interest among women, which, we propose, likely perpetuates gender inequality in male-dominated fields," the study's authors wrote.
The ZipRecruiter research showed that some industries are more likely to have gendered job listings than others. Specifically, the business industry leads the pack, with 94 percent of job listings including gendered wording. The science and engineering, technology, finance and insurance industries were the other sectors with large percentages of gendered-worded job ads.
When broken down by location, South Dakota had the most male bias in job ads, and New Jersey had the most heavily female-biased ads.
Change "we're looking for strong…" to "we're looking for exceptional…"
Change "who thrive in a competitive atmosphere…" to "who are motivated by goals…"
Change "candidates who are assertive…" to "candidates who are go-getters…"
Change "we are a community of concerned…" to "we are a team focused on…"
Change "have a polite and pleasant style…" to "are professional and courteous…"
Change "nurture and connect with customers" to "provide great customer service"
"Ultimately, ZipRecruiter's data confirms that the simple act of reframing your ad offers tremendous upside for employers — and ignoring these simple keyword fixes could be limiting the talent that's attracted to your business," Anderson wrote. "If you want to make the most out of recruiting candidates, take the extra time to edit your description and make sure you're keeping the doors wide open."
The study was based on the analysis of millions of job listings on ZipRecruiter.

If you are looking for bright neon pink this summer then shade 10 from Inglot refills is just the right shade for you.
Shade: This is a bright pink color with cool undertones that makes it fall under the neon shades category. The shade is a lighter version of a fuchsia pink and would awesome on fair to medium skin tones. On darker skin tone, the shade may look a bit more neon-ish and too bright.
Texture: Just like the other Inglot lipsticks, smooth, creamy, highly pigmented and non-drying in nature. The finish looks glossy at first but later it settles on your lips more like made-for-you kinds of a shade.
It transfer little, does not bleed or feather and does not settle in fine lines while fading. It fades away evenly.
Staying power:The shade easily stays for 4 hours on me and does survive a full meal in between. I did not find a need of a touch up even after a meal as it stays on the lips as a pink stain which looks pretty enough. The stain stays for another hour or so before it vanishes from the lips. So it stays a good 5 hours on me that is commendable.
Packaging: Metallic case which can fit into a magnetic palette for better storage so better store them in one so as to make them travel friendly too.
· Shade can compliment you both during the days and for night time wear.
· Shade does or bleed or feather.
· Stays on for 5 hours on me surviving a full meal in between.
· Affordable and easily available online.
Storing it requires an additional palette or a DIY palette.
Final Verdict: Get it surely if you are looking for one bright neon pink that would go well to add the needed charm in this dull/hot weather.
hello,How cn i purchase dis one?

Home // Foundation // About Us // Foundation News // Houses of Providence: A compassionate and caring community for residents
Khizrana, better known as Kay, Resident Assistant with the Cardinal Ambrozic Houses of Providence
"I love working with people and helping to care for residents," Kay shared.
Khizrana, better known as Kay, is a dedicated Resident Assistant, who's been with the Cardinal Ambrozic Houses of Providence for almost 20 years. She's a calm tower of strength that helped to provide support to residents during COVID-19, and even now as things are seemingly returning to normal.
"I have never seen anything like COVID-19. Seniors living in long-term care have been the most impacted, because they weren't able to see family and friends, not even their neighbours in the same facility. This made it so challenging and many of our residents felt afraid and alone," Kay shared.
With the onset of COVID-19, Kay and her team had to work hard to implement the many changes at Providence Healthcare to keep our long-term care residents safe. "When Providence restricted visitors and volunteers in March, we all worked longer hours to ensure that our residents were well taken care of."
As visitors were restricted to minimize the risk of spread, residents were missing their families, Kay and her fellow staff members stepped up to keep residents happy. "We spent lots of time with residents talking to them, comforting them, making sure they were safe, eating well, sleeping, and participating in daily activities," said Kay.
Watch this video to see how long-term care residents at Providence were impacted by COVID-19.
Video: House of Providence Residents
Since restrictions have eased, the Houses of Providence has entered into a 'new normal' by ensuring residents have daily activities outside their rooms, enjoying time in nature outdoors, socializing and eating meals with fellow residents, while adhering to safety procedures and protocols.
The pandemic has affected Kay and her family, but she has taken necessary precautions and also undergoes periodic COVID-19 testing. She and her husband have three sons and three grandchildren. Her worry about contracting and passing on the virus to her colleagues and family is a big concern. "I'm always careful when I come home from work by following a few simple rules: wash hands regularly and often, wear a mask, and keep physical distance. It can be difficult. I worry because my husband is in his 70s and I have a two-month-old grandchild. I have to keep them safe," she explained.
While COVID has brought with it a number of challenges, Kay and the staff are doing everything they can to build a caring community of comfort and positivity for residents. "You have to be strong, caring, and able to problem-solve quickly," said Kay. "Providence is a good place to work and live. It's a place where people take care of each other – staff and residents."
Kay is one of the dedicated staff members here at Providence providing care for our long-term care residents.
Please donate to the COVID-19 Relief Fund to help our staff provide ongoing support and compassionate care to Providence residents.
Strength is. Our staff.
Strength is. Our supporters.
Strength is. Providence.

Hate crimes trial in Arbery killing will put racism up front

BRUNSWICK, Ga. —
Sentenced to life in prison for murder, the three white men who chased and killed Ahmaud Arbery will soon stand trial on federal hate crimes charges in which jurors will have to decide whether the slaying of the running Black man was motivated by racism.
The sentences imposed by a judge Friday in Glynn County Superior Court concluded the state of Georgia's criminal case in the slaying of 25-year-old Arbery, in which a jury returned guilty verdicts the day before Thanksgiving.
A month from now, on Feb. 7, a federal judge has scheduled jury selection to begin in the three men's second trial in U.S. District Court. And evidence of racism that state prosecutors chose not to present at the murder trial is expected to be front and center.
An indictment last year charged father and son Greg and Travis McMichael and their neighbor, William "Roddie" Bryan with violating Arbery's civil rights when they pursued the running man in pickup trucks and cut off his escape from their neighborhood. Bryan recorded cellphone video of the chase's deadly end, when Travis McMichael blasted Arbery at close range with a shotgun.
The Feb. 23, 2020, killing just outside the port city of Brunswick became part of a greater national reckoning on racial injustice when the video leaked online two months later. Though an investigator testified at a pretrial court hearing that Bryan said he heard Travis McMichael utter a racist slur as Arbery lay dying in the street, state prosecutors never presented that information to the jury during the murder case.
That evidence should be key in the federal trial, where the McMichaels and Bryan are charged with targeting Arbery because he was Black.
At a hearing Friday, Superior Court Judge Timothy Walmsley sentenced both McMichaels to life in prison with no chance of parole. The judge sentenced Bryan to life with a possibility for parole once he's served 30 years.
Despite those severe penalties, Arbery's family said the hate crimes case remains important. At the time of his death, Arbery had enrolled at a technical college and was preparing to study to become an electrician like his uncles.
"They killed him because he was a Black man," Arbery's father, Marcus Arbery, told reporters outside the Glynn County courthouse Friday.
Lee Merritt, an attorney for Arbery's mother, said it's important for federal case to expose racist motives behind the killing because "there is an issue of race taking place in this country. It has come front and center and it needs to be discussed."
Georgia Bureau of Investigation Agent Richard Dial testified in June 2020, more than a year before the state trial, that Bryan told investigators he heard Travis McMichael say "f----ing n---er" after shooting Arbery. Attorneys for Travis McMichael have denied he made the statement.
State prosecutors and investigators never mentioned that during the murder trial. Georgia law doesn't require establishing motive to convict someone of murder. It merely requires proving a victim was killed with malice or during the commission of another felony.
Regardless, issues of race loomed large in the murder trial over Arbery's death. The McMichaels and Bryan weren't charged with crimes in the Black man's killing until the shooting video became public two month later.
"Today your son has made history, because we have people who are being held accountable for lynching a Black man in America," Benjamin Crump, a civil attorney for Arbery's family, told the slain man's parents after the sentencing hearing.
Defense attorneys during the trial contended the men pursued Arbery because they reasonably believed he had been committing burglaries in the neighborhood. Travis McMichael took the witness stand to testify that he opened fire in self-defense after Arbery ran at him and tried to grab his shotgun.
"He and Greg McMichael thought they were helping their community, thought they were helping police catch someone," said Robert Rubin, an attorney for Travis McMichael.
Defense attorneys said they planned to appeal the convictions for murder and other state crimes within 30 days.
Superior Court Judge Timothy Walmsley called the killing "callous" and noted that when Arbery fell bleeding in the street the McMichaels "turned their backs, to give a disturbing image, and they walked away."

The Early Events Determining SIV Rectal Transmission
Li, Qingsheng (PI)
Although anal intercourse is a common mode of HIV-1 transmission, particularly for men who have sex with men, many fundamental and mechanistic questions remain. The long-term objective of this study is to understand the early events in HIV-1 rectal transmission and to gain new insights, which will potentially lead to new intervention strategies, including vaccines and topical microbicides optimized for rectal use. Studying HIV-1 vaginal transmission in the highly relevant SIV-rhesus macaque model has revealed important events critical for transmission, such as target cell availability, innate immune response, and inflammation at the portal of entry, all factors which play a key role in transmission. Because the anatomical/histological features and the physiological functions of vagina and cervix differ from the rectum, we hypothesize that the underlying mechanisms and timing of HIV-1 rectal transmission will significantly differ from those of vaginal-cervical transmission. Utilizing innovative approaches and an established conceptual framework from studies of vaginal transmission, we will test this hypothesis by investigating three specific aims: 1) determine the timing, location, spatial distribution and cell types of virus-infected cells at the portal of entry and in draining and distal lymphatic tissues;2) determine relationships between virus and susceptible target cells (CD4+ T cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells) and between virus-infected cells and the mucosal innate immune response in the rectum shortly after intra-rectal SIV inoculation, thereby determining whether changes in target-cell availability play a critical role in local expansion and systemic spread of infection;and 3) determine the spatial relationships and ratio of virus-specific CD8+ T effector cells (E) and virus-infected-target cells (T) at the portal of entry and in other tissue compartments to extent of control of virus replication, using a novel procedure combining in-situ tetramers and in-situ hybridization The proposed research is significant as it is expected to reveal important mechanisms underlying rectal transmission and potentially provide guidance for designing anti-HIV-1 vaccines and topical microbicides.

Villa Suralai is dominated by the main living pavilion, a two-storey building dug into the side of the hill with spectacular views. The entrance is on the top floor where an electric gate slides open to give access to a car port. Stepping stones lead to the huge room which incorporates a casual seating area with leather sofas and a 50-inch home theatre screen; a guest kitchen fully equipped with top specification Siemens oven, microwave, coffee machine and fridge freezer that all hide away behind slick black cabinetry, and a dining table for ten. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors fold back on three sides to a wide terrace, letting the breezes drift through whilst fans in the vaulted ceiling turn lazily above. As a result there is little need for air conditioning.
On the ground floor are three identical queen-bedded rooms, each with ensuite shower rooms and terraces with captivating views to be enjoyed from daybeds or chairs. All the rooms have Samsung theatre systems, satellite TV and iPod players. An adjacent three-storey pavilion houses the remaining bedrooms – two master suites and a twin bedded room. Each bedroom in this pavilion has a polished stone-washed bath, raindrop showers and views over the plantations. The master suites have queen beds, folding doors to generous terraces and full home theatre set-up including 32-inch screen; whilst the twin room has satellite TV and steps down to a small garden. All six bedrooms are individually air conditioned, have great blackout curtains and look out onto the 25m pool which, at one end, has a Thai style balé (gazebo) with daybeds and pool bar stools.
Below the swimming pool is a small well-equipped gym, storage and laundry facilities whilst, in a small pavilion by the entrance, are the staff quarters and a wet kitchen where most of the food preparation is done by the chef.
