>Startup's name decides funding
公司名字好融資更容易
A study published in the peer-reviewed academic journal Venture Capital has found that a startup's name can seriously affect how a company is perceived by investors. Names that are easily pronounced, such as Uber and Lyft, are preferred by both early and late stage investors. They tend to be offered more money, whether it's through crowd funders, angel investors, VCs or IPO investors. Uniqueness is also a virtue, but only with early-stage investors. The study found that since very little is known about a company in the early stages, unique names give the impression there is something special about the company. But don't go registering for that unintelligible URL just yet: The novelty wears off by later stages, when unique names can make investors feel uncomfortable. Think about now-shuttered companies like Xobni, which was purchased in 2013 by Yahoo for $60m, before being shut down just one year later.
同行評議學(xué)術(shù)期刊《風(fēng)險資本》上刊登的一項(xiàng)研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，初創(chuàng)公司的名字能極大地影響投資者對該公司的印象。初期和后期的投資者都更青睞朗朗上口的名字，比如Uber和Lyft。不管是眾籌者、天使投資人、風(fēng)投還是IPO投資者，都傾向于給這樣的公司提供更多資金。名字獨(dú)特也是個優(yōu)勢，但只對初期的投資者有效。該研究發(fā)現(xiàn)，由于初創(chuàng)公司在早期鮮為人知，獨(dú)特的名字能給人以該公司擁有過人之處的印象。但這種新奇感到后期便會逐漸消失，這時別致的名字會讓投資者感到不悅，因此不要急著去注冊讓人費(fèi)解的域名。想想現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)倒閉的公司，比如Xobni，該公司在2013年被雅虎以6000萬美元收購，僅一年后就被關(guān)閉。

>Meghan's child is a girl?
梅根新生兒將是小公主?
Meghan Markle has said the birth of her first child is going to be a surprise, but if the decorations at her lavish baby shower are any indication, she may be welcoming a little girl. Decorations for the exclusive fête, which is reportedly being co-hosted by Serena Williams and Amal Clooney, began arriving in The Mark hotel, and there was plenty of pink - from the blush-colored roses to the cotton candy machine that was brought into the hotel. Dozens of light-pink roses were carried into the venue, and those weren't the only floral arrangements of that color to be seen. Even some of the guests who attended the shower were donning the color. Gayle King was seen arriving in a bright pink dress and pastel-colored heels. Amal Clooney stood out in a red jumpsuit and gold heels, and while it wasn't pink, the color could easily be associated with a baby girl.
梅根?馬克爾曾表示她第一個孩子的出生將是個驚喜，但從她奢華的產(chǎn)前派對的裝飾品泄露的"天機(jī)"看，她可能將迎來一個女寶寶。據(jù)報道，這個由塞蕾娜?威廉姆斯和阿瑪爾?克魯尼共同主持的專屬派對的裝飾品近日開始運(yùn)抵馬克酒店，其中充斥了大量的粉紅色——從腮紅色的玫瑰到送入酒店的棉花糖機(jī)器。許多淡粉色玫瑰也被送入會場，同色的花卉布置還不止這些。甚至連部分參加派對的賓客也穿戴著同色的服飾。有人看到蓋爾?金穿著亮粉色的裙子和淡粉色的高跟鞋到達(dá)現(xiàn)場。阿瑪爾?克魯尼身穿紅色連褲衫和金色高跟鞋十分出挑，雖然顏色不是粉色，但很容易讓人聯(lián)想到女寶寶。

>Rules to curb discrimination
我國明確'招聘不問婚育'
China's nine central government departments have released a guideline to further prevent discrimination against women in the job market. When looking for a new employee, employers cannot restrict nor reject women based on their gender, unless in some occupations required to do so by a state decree, according to the guideline, introduced by a collection of departments including the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Welfare and Ministry of Education. Employers should not ask potential female employees about their plans to be married or have children, and any job related health tests should not test for pregnancy, the guideline said. Employers will be summoned for a talk with authorities and urged to change their employment practices if they are found to have engaged in gender discrimination. Judicial assistance will be provided to women who suffer from gender discrimination in the process of looking for a job.
近日，我國九部門發(fā)布關(guān)于進(jìn)一步防范就業(yè)市場中針對婦女的歧視問題的指導(dǎo)意見。這份由人社部、教育部等多部門出臺的意見規(guī)定，用人單位在招聘新員工時，不得因性別問題限制婦女求職就業(yè)或拒絕錄用婦女(國家規(guī)定的女職工禁忌情況除外)。意見明確，用人單位不得詢問婦女婚育計劃，不得將妊娠測試作為工作相關(guān)健康檢查。若發(fā)現(xiàn)用人單位存在性別歧視問題，有關(guān)部門將對其進(jìn)行約談，并敦促其修改招聘流程。國家將為求職過程中遭受性別歧視的女性提供司法援助。
