The Tech Age Girls (TAG) project address-
es the lack of skilled women in the field
of information technology (IT) by encour-
aging and training the most promising
young female computer specialists.
Through a process in which they have the
opportunity to further develop IT skills,
learn from successful female leaders,
and design their own community pro-
jects, participants take their first steps
toward entering one of the most promis-
ing and dynamic fields in the global econ-
omy. IREX started the Tech Age Girls pro-
ject in Kyrgyzstan in 2010 and adminis-
tered its second round in 2011.

This document introduces glutathione as the body's most powerful antioxidant that supports immune function, detoxification, aging and more. It discusses how scientists have struggled to increase glutathione levels through supplementation due to its breakdown during digestion. The author asserts that Max International has developed a patent-pending formula, MaxGXL, that clinical studies show effectively increases glutathione levels by providing the building blocks the body needs to produce and recycle it. MaxGXL is presented as supporting overall health, energy, recovery and cellular function through optimal glutathione levels.

The document summarizes information about a supplement called MaxGXL that is designed to increase glutathione levels in cells. It discusses how glutathione is the most powerful antioxidant and how levels naturally decline with age. MaxGXL contains nutrients that provide the components for cells to produce their own glutathione, since oral glutathione cannot pass through cell membranes. Clinical trials showed MaxGXL significantly increased glutathione levels in patients with various illnesses. The supplement aims to empower cells and promote health, energy and immune function.

Abstract: Despite the strides made recently for women in business, female tech professionals continue to be outpaced by their male counterparts. According to Silicon Valley Bank’s Innovation Economy Outlook survey, less than 50 percent of technology companies have women in the C-suite or serving on the board of directors. Only 19 percent of CIO positions for Fortune 250 companies are held by women.
In fact, the gender disparity among technology professionals seems to be increasing in spite of recent gains throughout the workplace. Fewer women are joining the tech workforce and the numbers of female students studying technology is in decline—today only 18 percent of computer science majors are women, compared to 37 percent in the mid-1980s. Add in a continued wage imbalance and a high turnover rate for female tech professionals mid-career and it is clear that there is work to be done. How can we encourage more women to join the technology field and insurance technology in particular? What can be done to break down the barriers to success as a female technology professional?

This document summarizes the Women in IT Networking at SC (WINS) program. WINS is a 3-year National Science Foundation funded program that enables 5-8 women per year to volunteer with SCinet and gain hands-on networking experience at the Supercomputing Conference.

Measuring the Impact of Higher Education Interventions in DevelopmentRUFORUM
Higher education interventions in developing countries can have a positive impact according to evidence from evaluations.
1) Education and training programs show good completion rates, and graduates apply their new skills, though evidence on "brain drain" is mixed. Selection methods and guidance have helped.
2) Supporting institutions through long-term capacity building approaches in areas like policy, infrastructure, and academic support systems has strengthened institutions. This includes North-South and South-South collaboration.
3) Consortia and networks have successfully mobilized new knowledge resources and expanded indigenous doctoral programs.

toward entering one of the most promis-
ing and dynamic fields in the global econ-
omy. IREX started the Tech Age Girls pro-
ject in Kyrgyzstan in 2010 and adminis-
tered its second round in 2011.
From June 27 to July 9, 2011 the ef-
forts of the Tech Age Girls (TAG) project
culminated in a two-week conference for
34 outstanding young women throughout
Kyrgyzstan who developed their IT and
leadership skills. These talented, driven
girls have returned to their homes, where
they are using their new skills and expe-
riences to implement projects that will
benefit their communities. Together, the
TAG implementing partners have laid the
foundation for a talented group of young
women to shape their country’s future.

and service learning.
This year, the Tech Age Girls’ community projects
focused on leadership and IT training, health edu-
cation, and aiding those in need. The 2,700 bene-
ficiaries ranged from parents of local students to
low income families with ill children; from the
elderly to kindergarteners. In stepping forward to
lead and promote a change in their communities,
their work served not only those directly impact-
ed, but anyone who was inspired by their exam-
ple. Following one quarterfinalist’s service pro-
ject at a local hospital, one of the facility’s nurs-
es expressed how impressed she was: “This is the
first time that I have seen students visiting our
elderly patients who aren’t their own family…
it is great,” she shared.
In addition to creating their own community ser-
vice projects, the TAG quarterfinalists worked to
recruit their peers in conducting service-related
activities to create lasting change in their
hometowns, and connected online to share their
work with each other and a High School club in
the United States.
