Zo Nowak Is Someone Hot And New

I thought I knew just about every Victoria’s Secret model out there, but apparently not. Because according to my sources, this leggy hottie leaving Polish TV station TVN is Zo Nowak , aka one of the lingerie company’s newest models. Or she’s new to me, at least. And you’d think I’d be upset about missing out on weeks or even months of potential lingerie pics, but actually I’m excited, because this just means I’ve got one more hottie who hasn’t turned down a Twitter marriage proposal from me yet. OK, so how do you say “Will you divorce me?” in Polish? I’ve got a lot of lost time to make up for. Photos: WENN.com

Searching For Diversity: Google Report Shows They Employ Only 30% Women And A MEASLY 2% Black People

Google Only Employs 30% Women 2% Black People Only 2% of Google’s employees are black, but they still represent in their doodles . Via Guardian UK: The lack of diversity among Google’s workforce has been highlighted by the company’s first diversity report, which reveals that only 30% of its staff are female. The search company’s US workforce also comprises 61% white people, with Asian staff making up 30%, Hispanic people 3% and black staff just 2% of employees. The data highlights the lack of representation of women and ethnic groups in technology companies, despite a much more diverse customer base for mainstream technology products and services. “Put simply, Google is not where we want to be when it comes to diversity, and it’s hard to address these kinds of challenges if you’re not prepared to discuss them openly, and with the facts,” acknowledged Laszlo Bock, senior vice president of people operations at Google, in a blog post. Google has released this, the first of its diversity reports, because the company believes that an open dialogue about diversity issues is the only way to solve them, something others like Nunno agree is the right course. Google believes that tackling diversity in computer science education is the way forward, and has donated over $40m (£24m) to organisations aiming to help increase the number of women and girls in science education. The problems facing both gender and ethnic diversity in technology are not insurmountable, but no one organisation can do it alone, according to Nunno, which makes Google’s release of its data a good step forward in tackling the issues as an industry. Welp, at least they admitted to it right?? SMH. Google
