Chris Sheridan (2:00 PM)
Good afternoon from Greenburgh, where the Knicks had Charles Jenkins, Iman Shumpert and Chris Singleton, among others, in today for workouts. Only two weeks until we see what the Knicks do at No. 17, and how many second-round picks they are able to purchase. Questions?
Sal (Queens)
The Knicks need a more defensive minded coach, but they also need more defensive minded players. They can start by signing Tyson Chandler. How much do you think he is seeking per year?
Chris Sheridan (2:01 PM)
They cannot sign Tyson or any other free agent defensive-minded center because they do not have the cap space available to do so. So if they get a center, it'll be a veteran playing on a minimum contract, or a rookie. And I am becoming more convinced that they will look to draft a big at No. 17 if one of the ones they like is still on the board.
John (NYC)
Hey Chris - who do ya go the Knicks taking in the first round. I hope they can add some size. - John
Chris Sheridan (2:05 PM)
I was leaning toward Klay Thompson a week or two ago, but I think they are realizing that size has got to be a higher priority than restocking positions where they already have established starters, with the exception being the 2-guard spot. I have heard they really like Singleton (who was in today) because of his defensive abilities, but Singleton disappointed me when I asked him to compare himself to a good NBA defender and he only came up with Bruce Bowen's name. I was looking for something more current, perhaps along the lines of DeShawn Stevenson or Tony Allen.
Richard (Lubbock,tx)
So do you think that the Knick may sign Jerome Jordan and if he is not ready to help them at the start of the season than they will send him to Erie until they think that he is ready to help them or do you think that they will send him back oversea.
Chris Sheridan (2:08 PM)
That is the interesting thing about their acquisition of the Erie franchise. Now, they do not have to stash a player like Jordan in Europe, and they can have some faith that the staff in Erie will lookout for the best interests of a guy like Andy Rautins if they were to send him down. And with most folks around the NBA expecting there to be no summer league because of the lockout, the Erie franchise will give the Knicks somewhat of a fallback as far as having a place to look at players and have some control over their work environments. Jordan's shot at making the roster could depend on how many second-rounders they buy, because there could be a squeeze there in keeping the roster at 15. Jordan (and a bunch of other marginal guys) also might want to jump at guaranteed money in Europe if the NBA is shut down.
John (Buffalo)
Jimmer to the Knicks? Everyone is saying Utah but they really need a TRUE PG and Jimmer I think would be better suited as a SG. Thoughts?
Chris Sheridan (2:11 PM)
If they have a choice between Jimmer and Vucevic, the 7-footer from Montenegro and Southern Cal who was in two days ago, I imagine they would go for the big guy because of the void they have at that position.
Hal (New York)
Knicks need ALOT of depth. Could you see them drafting Vucivec and then going after guys like Redd, Iverson, Oden, W. Chandler to fill rolls?
Chris Sheridan (2:14 PM)
They need a center, which is why I am plugging Vucevic as my flavor of the week. They liked him a lot during the NCAA season when he averaged a double-double for USC, and some folks think he has the offensive skills to become a Pau Gasol type. Shoots the ball with both hands quite well, e.g. As for your vets, the only guy on that list that seems like a viable option is Redd. And if they think they can get Redd, that gives them all the more reason to draft for need at the 5 position.
Michael (CT)
Will the Knicks be drafting Chris Paul trade bait, or supporting cast material? Are there prospects out there at 17 that can be both?
Chris Sheridan (2:17 PM)
There is a school of thought that whoever the Knicks pick at No. 17 will be shipped to New Orleans in February along with C.Billups for C.Paul, but again I would caution that there is NO WAY the league office is going to sign off on a trade of Paul as long as the league office continues to own that team. That being said, the 17 pick is going to be one of the few tradeable assets the Knicks have on their roster next season aside from Chauncey, an the possibility of being dealt is going to shadow that player (unless it is a center) throughout the season the same way it did for Derrick Favors in New Jersey.
Jim (Utica, NY)
It seems like the Knicks want to obtain a second round pick. Of the second round prospects they have worked out which are they most interested in?
Chris Sheridan (2:19 PM)
Not sure if he will drop to the second round, but I am told Iman Shumpert was pretty impressive today. Not many 6-6 point guards out there, and it doesn't hurt him that he is repped by Happy Walters (Stoudemire's agent.)
Knicks_r_back (New York)
If the Knicks keep dantoni this year, which they should, what kind of success will he have to have in order to get a contract extension?
Chris Sheridan (2:20 PM)
51-31 gets it done before the playoffs begin, IMO. Anything short of that, and Mike's job is on the line in the postseason.
Jim (Utica, NY)
Are the Knicks grooming Allan Houston to eventually take over as GM by having him run their new D-League team in Erie?
Chris Sheridan (2:21 PM)
Yes, that indeed seems to be the case. Jim Dolan loves Allan.
Onur (Germany)
Hello Chris,I know your take was Mavs in 7, but would this series look like 94 Finals? Up to now it's the wins are going as the same direction.
Chris Sheridan (2:22 PM)
I still like my Mavs in 7 pick. Series was there for the taking in Game 4, and Miami did not take it. And I repeat: watch how clutch Jason Kidd is in two of the next three games.
Julie (Manhattan)
Who are the Knicks most likely to draft? Can't believe all these Mock drafts. Will Vucevic still be there and would they take him with Jordan onboard or will the so for the next Wilson Chandler in Singleton?
Chris Sheridan (2:25 PM)
Vucevic is my flavor of the week, but a lot will be determined by what transpired at the adidas Eurocamp in Treviso this weekend. Lucas Noguiera of Brazil will be participating, and there are a lot of tams that want to kick the tires on this kid. But the thing with Vucevic is he is almost identical to Kanter in terms of measurements, and he has a three-year body of Pac-10 work on which he can be judged, wheras Kanter is more of an unknown commodity because he really hasn't played in two years.
Tyler (Wisconsin)
Why hasn't there been much talk about Nolan Smith? You would think he would be high on most draft boards with his successful career at Duke.
Chris Sheridan (2:27 PM)
Nolan was here yesterday, and Jared Zwerling wrote about him inthe Knicks blog on ESPNNewYork.com. Check it out.
Rich (ny)
Could the knicks take faried with the 17 pick. i think he would be perfect for them, then maybe buy a pick and get charles jenkins
Chris Sheridan (2:29 PM)
Taking a pure 4 makes little sense because the guy will be will be suck behind Amare Stoudemire for four years (see Anthony Randolph). As productive as Faried is, he wouldn't fit in their rotation.
Ronnie (Canarsie, Brooklyn)
If the Knicks need size, is Jeremy Tyler an option?
Chris Sheridan (2:32 PM)
I heard they were not all that impressed with his workout. Another big they are looking at today is Keith Benson of Oakland (Mich.), and he is the type of guy they may try to land with a purchased second-round pick.
Frank (Richmond, VA)
What do you think is the real reason Donnie is no longer team president?
Chris Sheridan (2:33 PM)
I think this job wore him out, mentally and physically, far more than he ever imagined it would.
Jason (New York)
How early will the Knicks know if they can and will buy other picks? Might this not have a significant impact on 17 given their multiple needs?
Chris Sheridan (2:35 PM)
As far as second-round picks go (which is where the Knicks would like to be buyers), usually it becomes clear around 10 p.m. on draft night who is truly willing to sell a pick and who was merely fronting. Lakers have three late 2nds (46, 56 and 58) and are usually happy to take some cash to pay their luxury tax bill.
Dan (NJ)
Any word on how Jenkins did today and if the Knicks like him?
Chris Sheridan (2:38 PM)
Jenkins told us he thought he fared pretty well despite being defended by a tall kid, Shumpert. (Knicks don't let the media watch their workouts). The thing I love about the three-time Haggerty Award winner is that he shot 52 percent last season despite every opposing defense keying on him.
Gregg (Huntington, NY)
How many of these three are Knicks next year-Shelden Williams, Renaldo Blackman, Derrick Brown? I think Sheldon has potential and was underutilized by D'Antoni. He did start a bunch of games on a very good Nuggets team before the trade.
Chris Sheridan (2:40 PM)
Only Balkman, I would think, unless they draft small and have a need for a big body, in which case I could see them giving Shelden another look. If D.Brown was going to be a factor for them, I think D'Antoni would have gien him a look in the playofs -- especially in Game 4 when he closed with R.Mason and Shawne Williams in the 4th.
Danny (Bronx, Ny)
Vucevic said that he didn't shoot well during the workouts with the knicks. Can you report anything of what the knicks thought??
Chris Sheridan (2:41 PM)
There was some talk that he did not play as aggressively as they would have liked, but you have to factor in that he is going through a car wash of workouts and is going to look better in some than in others. The Knicks like his dexterity and his footwork and his body of work at USC.
Chris (Midtown Manhattan)
Is Selby someone that the Knicks are still considering? It isn't often that you get a player with so much upside at 17.
Chris Sheridan (2:44 PM)
Chad Ford still has the Knicks taking Selby at No. 17 in his Mock Draft 4.0. I am curious to see whether Chad shifts to one of the EuroBigs in Mock 5.0 when he gets back from Italy. To me, Selby gives them a third point at a position where they are already OK with C.Billups and T.Douglas. Their other needs (size, shooting) are too acute for them to draft a third point, IMHO.
Bo (Upper West Side)
Are the Knicks worried that Chauncey Billups didn't seem to buy into D'Antoni's system (was coaching from the bench when he got hurt), and may possibly undermine him during the season and turn the roster against him?
Chris Sheridan (2:45 PM)
If that was a legitimate concern I do not think they would have made an $11 million decision to bring him back. Chauncey coached from the bench in Denver and Detroit, too.
Danny (Hillside, NJ)
Any news on the potential sale of the Hornets?? Do you think its possible that they don't sell next year??
Chris Sheridan (2:49 PM)
Seems to be on hold until the labor situation is figured out.
Knicks_r_back (New York)
How did singleton do today?
Chris Sheridan (2:51 PM)
Again, hard to tell when the Knicks don't let the media watch. Singleton seemed happy with his workout.
Nick (Hell's Kitchen, NY)
Wouldn't Jimmer or Klay Thompson be a HUGE mistake for a team like the Knicks who need 2 way players? Forget the coach, if you put those guys on the floor next to Billups, no Center, and Melo, and they won't have a chance defensively.
Chris Sheridan (2:54 PM)
Again, it gets back to drafting for needs. So let's say all the centrs they like are gone by No. 17. Do they then go for a shooter (K.Thompson) with size or a player with size (Singleton) who can't shoot? I think they'd go with what they are comfortable with, which is an offensive-minded player.
Nick (Hell's Kitchen, NY)
If the T Wolves take Derrick Williams with the 2nd pick, should the Knicks call them about Michael Beasley?
Chris Sheridan (2:55 PM)
Absolutely not. Again, they already have a 4. No need at that position or the 3.
Chris Sheridan (2:56 PM)
That is a wrap for this week, folks. Follow me on Twitter (@CSheridanESPN) for further word on when I'll be back for more Knicks workouts, and when I will be chatting next. Enjoy the weekend, and stay cool this afternoon.

Essay Question Research and critically discuss the impact of globalisation on work and employment.
Lecture 5 Globalisation, Flexibility and Work
BUS124 Work and Employment Dr Ahu Tatli
Lecture Outline Globalisation: a myth or reality? Global workforce
The global firm and flexibility Global in-sourcing and out-sourcing Convergence vs. divergence Global corporations, ethics and society Next week
Globalisation? Globalisation is a contested concept.
Some scholars say it is nothing new. Yet, there have been significant changes in the political and economic context across the globe in recent decades. There has been a radical shift in structure and patterns of employment. These changes have had uneven impact in different parts of the globe.
The context of globalisation
Trade liberalisation Global / supranational institutions, e.g. ILO, IMF, WB, WTO, NAFTA, EU MNCs, TNCs Competition at global scale Changes in the organisation of production processes, e.g. J.I.T. production Relocation of production Fordism to post-Fordism Mass production to flexible specialisation Industrial to post-industrial
Globalisation: Key issues
The global workforce and the 'dark side' of globalization Uneven and creates global inequality Exploitation repackaged as gains Based on individualism – seeks to avoid and discourage collective worker resistance Flexibility, insourcing and outsourcing Divergence versus convergence in management of global workforce The global corporation, ethics and corporate social responsibility (CSR)
Globalisation Karatas-Özkan (2005:40) lists the following factors associated with globalisation: the liberalization of economic policies – the opening of trade which allows goods and services to travel across the world more freely, the opening of capital markets which have increased the flow of money across the world; an increase in foreign investment – companies investing overseas by building subsidiaries, by forming joint ventures or buying stock in foreign countries; the emergence of new international business blocs; the increased mobility of labour across national borders; increased competition in the international context.
Although technological advancements have facilitated transportation of goods, services and information faster than ever before, cultural, social and political systems have remained relatively stable across borders. The new race now is for fostering developments and innovations in the management of people. Management of the global workforce now requires comparative and international insights.
Who are the Global Workforce?
Who are the Global Workforce?
International Labour Organization (ILO) Global Employment Trends Report estimated that there are approximately 3.1 billion employed people in the world Although total employment has continued to grow since the economic crisis, the ratio of employment to population has started to decline since 2008 Increase in the number of 'vulnerable' workers Increase in youth unemployment 829 million women live in poverty worldwide, while the equivalent figure for men is 522 million (ILO Equality at Work, 2011 p xi).
Migrant Labour The UN Population Division in October 2002 estimated there were 175 million people living for 12 months or more outside their country of birth or citizenship in 2000, of whom 60% have moved to developed countries. However, there is a serious shortage of information on this issue. Only one-third of countries provide migration data. Migrant labour does not directly compete for jobs with the domestic labour in the countries they move in. Rather there is a pattern of taking up of jobs that the domestic workers do not wish to undertake or creation of markets where migrant labour works in the host country. Migrants versus expatriates?
Impact of globalisation on labour
Despite arguments that globalization results in interdependence and convergence, the statistics indicate that globalization has an uneven impact on prosperity/poverty: Geographically – the northern hemisphere faring better than the southern On men and women – with men almost always faring better than women Diversity in terms of People, culture, politics, history, law, education, collective organisation… Labour Standards Increased demands for labour flexibility Growth in part-time and contingent work Growth in migration Vulnerable work
Globalization and Flexibility
The arguments are: Globalization leads to greater international competition To compete businesses and organisations need to be tuned in to markets and responsive to changes in demand To do this the workforce needs to be flexible along a number of different dimensions
Types of Flexibility Internal - Flexible Firm (Atkinson, 1984)
Functional Numerical Financial Temporal External – global labour markets In-sourcing Out-sourcing
The Flexible Firm Atkinson (1984)
Whose Flexibility? The flexible firm only considers flexibility from the perspective of employers (Dickens, 1992) Some types of flexibility may meet some needs for some groups of employees but not all. Many aspects of flexibility are gendered and are often based on the lower pay and conditions of women workers and other 'disadvantaged' groups (Conley, 2002, 2006, 2008; Standing 1999; Rani 2008) Is Flexibility New? Flexibility is a euphemism and may be a cynical attempt to justify much older ways of cheapening and controlling labour (e.g. dual labour markets)
International in-sourcing and global labour flexibility
Liberalisation, globalization and migration EU enlargement; China 'open door' policy; North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and North American Agreement on Labour Cooperation (NAALC) Increasing flexibility In-sourcing as a talent management strategy Migration, self-initiation Brain drain
Reasons for international insourcing
Macro explanations: World system theory, Dual labour market theory Skill gaps, demand, differentials between countries and regions Global economic imbalances Micro explanations: Pull and push factors Employment Better standard of living Develop language skills, training and experience Promotion
Implications for management of the workforce
Transient workforce? Comparable skills/qualifications are comparisons fair and free from discrimination? Culture and language differences Personal and Professional Expectations Pay, Promotion, Permanency Migrant workers and the law Trade union reaction: opposition? Ethical considerations and equality
Two cases from health sector
Second Class Doctors – (Oikelome and Healy, 2007) Overseas-qualified doctors in the UK Three-quarters of the doctors qualified overseas They earn more, work for longer hours, have less autonomy and a lower morale Migrant Nurses in the UK (Allan and Larsen, 2003) Workplace experiences: Isolation; Bullying; Discrimination Over qualified/de-skilled; Drop in status Communication problems; Cultural differences in nursing practice
International out-sourcing and global labour flexibility
What is out-sourcing? Part of the production of goods or services of an organisation delivered by a third party Can be done within the same country or 'off-shored' Difference between outsourcing and off-shoring: CONTROL Off-shoring may be expansion rather than relocation An off-shored production can be out-sourced or undertaken by the primary organisation
Dimensions of Out-sourcing
Why do organisations out-source?
Other Reasons? The case of UK call centres off-shored to India
Followed setting up of call centres in UK Problems with attitudes and expectations of the host workforce Customer Satisfaction? Reverse Outsourcing Competing on quality rather than cost? (Taylor & Bain, 2005)
Outcomes of out-sourcing
Job losses and job gains Boost for developing economies Poor jobs, lower standards, social dumping? Assessing which functions to be out-sourced or off-shored Assessing skill match Ensuring the adaptability to customer needs and demands; evaluating customer/client fit Control of out-sourced processes Ensuring minimum standards and ethical practice in outsourced processes
Global workforce diversity
Employee classification Parent country national (PCN) Host country national (HCN) Third country national (TCN) Managing and staffing approaches Selecting the right candidate Recruiting and retaining talent Host country talent pool Expatriates
Management of diverse workforce globally: Convergence or Divergence?
Large corporations' preference for consistent worldwide systems Smaller companies' desire for more professional systems Need to follow local laws and customs Development of unique techniques and practices to suit local cultural and legal requirements
Divergence debate: Contextual paradigm
Convergence debate: One best-way approach – universalist paradigm (Brewster 2001) Globalization as the driving force: opening of world markets, deregulation, regional integration, improvements in communication and transportation Improving performance through high performance work systems Effective management systems can cross borders Local practices become redundant and should be replaced with 'one best way' often the "American" way Divergence debate: Contextual paradigm The Culturalist Approach: Variations in managerial behaviour are consequential to variations in cultures. The Institutionalist Approach: Organisational behaviour is determined by the social-institutional environment and systems
Local versus universal
According to Asdorian (1995) a balance needs to be struck between local and universal perspectives to : Prevent the emergence of divisions and divisive perceptions between operations in different countries. Work in each country using the terms of reference used in that country. Avoid the assumption that best practice can transcend national borders. A careful consideration of local and universal perspectives is also necessary to prevent backlash and resistance in host country context.
Tension between universal vs. local approaches
Bartlett and Ghoshal (1989) makes a distinction between two approaches to management of human resources internationally: Global integration: transferring successful strategies and practices across borders; Local responsiveness: tailoring strategies and practices to fit the local context There is a tension between these two dimensions. As a response, firms may follow (1) localize, (2) universalize, or (3) transversalize their HRM strategies.
Global business and ethics
Do businesses have any ethical responsibility? How to deal with negative impacts of corporate activities? Globalisation and Flexibility or 'Social Dumping'? Social dumping is a practice involving the export of goods from a country with weak or poorly enforced labour standards, where the exporter's costs are artificially lower than its competitors in countries with higher standards, hence representing an unfair advantage in international trade. It results from differences in direct and indirect labour costs, which constitute a significant competitive advantage for enterprises in one country, with possible negative consequences for social and labour standards in other countries.
Global corporations and society
Impact of corporations on communities, societies and lives of people across the globe Corporate social responsibility: corporate actions "to further some social good, beyond the interests of the firm and that which is required by law" (McWilliams and Siegel 2001:117). socially responsible business practices that are aimed to strengthen corporate accountability, respecting ethical values in the interests of all stakeholders (Business for Social Responsibility 2001). firms to account for "externalities produced by their market behaviour" (Crouch 2006:1534). reduction of negative externalities (e.g. global financial crisis, BP oil spillage) and the promotion of positive externalities

The Supreme Court has dismissed the petition filed by a senior woman officer of the country's external intelligence agency Research and Analysis Wing who had alleged sexual harassment by her superior officers.
"We have gone through the petition as also the documents filed and find that the allegations made by the petitioner (Nisha Priya Bhatia) have been inquired into by several independent bodies, including a committee headed by Dr Renukam Viswanathan and supervised by the Cabinet Secretary, and that no merit has been found in the allegations levelled by her.
"The record further shows that the allegations made by the petitioner have at one time or the other been examined by
the National Human Rights Commission and the National Commission for Women and they too had not granted her any
relief," the apex court said in a judgement.
Interestingly, the bench of Justices H S Bedi and J M Panchal said it did not pass the judgement in the presence of
Nisha as she was "surcharged" and "emotionally disturbed".
The Central Information Commission (CIC) has pulled up RAW for not providing Nisha the report of a "complaint
committee" to one of its officials after it probed her sexual harassment allegations against her bosses.

Benefit from providers who view you as a whole person
Get the time you need to address all your concerns
Our team-based approach combines world-class integrative & complementary providers
"I have a deep curiosity of how our physical and emotional health connect to our ability to access joy and peace of mind. I have found Chinese Medicine to be a great modality to bring a balance within these parts of us in both a subtle and profound way. Every day, I am humbled and in awe of how Chinese Medicine can help with an array of health issues such as anxiety, pain, insomnia, IBS, fatigue and much more. It [Chinese Medicine] offers patients another lens and approach to addressing their health care, and can be a supportive modality to other conventional therapies. One of the biggest gifts Chinese Medicine has to offer is helping to connect us and inner peace so that our creativity and talents can flourish."
Integrative Medicine is a holistic approach that blends alternative treatments with evidence-based medicine. It addresses the root cause of illness and imbalances using a whole-body approach to healing and prevention. Our integrative health specialists consider the body and mind to be one interconnected system, and use a variety of methods to support and strengthen the mind-body connection. Our providers also take all aspects of your life into account when evaluating and treating your issues, including your personal history, environment, and lifestyle habits.
Our unique integration of Eastern and Western approaches allows our specialists to work collaboratively and use a team-based approach to support you in meeting your personalized health goals. Whether you're interested in naturopathy, mind-body medicine, or acupuncture, One Medical has the tools to help you stay well and achieve your health goals.
Traditional primary care medicine typically aims to cure or mitigate disease or injury in order to promote and maintain optimal health. Traditional primary care providers may recommend medications or other treatments to address acute and chronic conditions. Integrative medicine practitioners, on the other hand, may also utilize a variety of treatment tools, including lifestyle modification, dietary changes, therapeutic nutrition, nutrient supplementation, botanical medicine, homeopathy, bodywork, and meditation as a means to further enhance a patient's health.
While all of our primary care providers at One Medical take a patient-centered approach to primary care, we have specific providers who specialize in integrative healthcare. Our integrative care team consists of primary care providers with additional training in integrative medicine, naturopathic doctors, acupuncturists, and psychotherapists.
Once exclusively considered an Eastern practice, acupuncture is now commonly incorporated into integrative health care, and considered a valuable complementary and alternative modality in the West. More than one million people in the US use acupuncture to address a variety of health issues, including pain, fatigue, digestive complaints, anxiety, and stress. Acupuncture is guided by the philosophy that patterns of energy flow in the body result in varying states of health and illness. At One Medical, our acupuncturists employ a distinct approach to diagnosis, and treatments are designed to optimize the energetic flow and restore balance in the body. In some cases, our providers may also recommend Chinese herbal formulas to further support your treatment goals.
Membership to One Medical is $199 per year. This fee allows us to provide services above and beyond what insurance provides.
For information about integrative services visit fees, please refer to our fee schedule.
Our board-certified providers are trained to handle everything from preventive medicine to treatment of acute and chronic conditions. New York City team members who have a specific interest in integrative medicine include:

Check out my brand new pro-ana site! There definitely aren't enough pro-ana sites out there right now, mainly due to censorship, so I decided to create a new one. It's got live chat, a message board, an LJ blogging group, information on the pro-ana movement and the red bracelet project as well as never before seen guide files on obtaining prescription weight loss drugs, "safe" foods and more content that will be added daily (in fact, there's more new content being added right now!) I'm hoping to create a pro-ana site that's got excellent and useful information you can't find anywhere else. We're all tired of seeing endless lists of the same diets plans, so we've been researching night and day to bring NEW information to the ana community. As of now there isn't a lot of traffic in our chatroom or on our board just yet, but the sooner everyone checks it out, the sooner we'll be able to have a big, distinct community of anas, mias, and ednos'. Our expert, "Ana" will be serving the community in a column giving advice, information on weight loss drugs (specialty area of knowledge), treatment and therapy, debunking myths and providing accurate and up to date nutritional information, personal recommendations and advice. Ana is an anthropology major at *withheld for anonymity* university with an emphasis in anorectic praxis studies. We hope to be able to bring more scientific data and information to the ana community. Thanks for your time! P.S. Please send me any ideas you have or would like to see as guide files or changes on the site!

Since the dawn of time people have been telling stories as a form of entertainment and passing of knowledge. With the invention of the television, we now will all gather in the living room to listen to these stories instead of around a circle in the middle of camp. We use these kinds of storytelling means to our advantage by bringing as many sensory elements together as possible.
Sight and sound can affect your perception of reality. Your mind can be swayed into favoring the ideas of artists' that has created it. Movies as a means of storytelling can be quite powerful and inspiring in this way.
How Have Movies Revolutionized the Entertainment Industry?
Movies have grown and adapted in many ways to our modern lifestyle. They use higher definition and quality to give us the best visual experience they can. The use of catchy music and instrumental tunes can grab hold of your emotions and bring you along for a ride within the story. Being able to use these innovative practices with modern technology has been the only change in the storytelling process. These techniques have the ability to pull the viewer in like they are the ones going through the experiences themselves.
How Have Movies Changed over the Years?
These new age movies that we see nowadays have more action and something constantly happening. With the advancements in technology and computer programming software, movies are thoroughly edited and go through a final review process using computers. Before, all we had was the camera. So if a director wanted to show a spaceship flying into the frame, they had to recreate a small-scale version to essentially trick the viewer. Now, they will have an artist create the images and movement of the desired picture. After using 'movie magic' (more computer editing), the finished piece looks more realistic than anything we could have ever imagined. Using these tactics to trick your senses into fulling believing the story is what makes a movie great.
Why Are Films Emotionally Entertaining?
Humans are emotional creatures by nature. We do not have the ability to control the emotions we feel. Perhaps this is why movies are such a favored type of entertainment? They will use any, and all means to powerfully apply their themes, morals, and intent. Most movies are feel-good type films for the viewer to take away a positive moral from the story. Some films use the shock factor of outrageous scenarios that put a character through hard and arduous times or situations.
There are seven basic types of stories that are told.
Rags to Riches
Voyage and Return
Overcome the Monster
The Quest
and Tragedy
Our deep inner emotions are especially in tune to these seven plots in a compelling and instinctual way. We see these as some of the best and some of the saddest, most heart-wrenching tales. These all have to do with living and growing as people. They are relatable to us in some way. That is why we love cinema, and that is why entertainment will live on.

We are still living in a society that looks down upon disability by a majority. There's still a long way to go to accept the unaccepted.
Here's a story of Srikanth Bolla, a 24-year-old who was born without sight and is now the CEO of Hyderabad-based Bollant Industries, an organisation that employs uneducated and disabled employees to manufacture eco-friendly, disposable consumer packaging solutions, which is worth Rs 50 crores.
He was born in a remote village on the east coast of Andhra Pradesh. His parents were suggested by the villagers to abandon him just because he's blind. According to YourStory, Bolla said, "Scores of parents ordinarily did and still do - abandon babies born with disabilities,"
Luckily, his parents chose a different path and continued to raise and educate him with love and affection even though they owned a small plot of land and earned Rs. 20,000 per annum.
(Picture Source: Youtube)
"They are the richest people I know," says Srikanth.
Fast forward 24 years and a confident Srikanth Bolla revealed to YourStory that if the "world looks at me and says, 'Srikanth, you can do nothing,' I look back at the world and say I can do anything."

Rated 4 out of 5 by anljimen from Mixit Gold-Tone Cubic Zirconia 5-pr. Earring Set The earrings are very pretty. The earring backs turned in about a weeks time. It reads that is is for sensitive ears, which is why I bought them. However, it caused the skin around the earrings, red and sore, so I had to keep taking them out. They are nice for an evening out or something; not something to wear all day or overnight.

Offshoring To China From The UK Commerce Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
The trend in offshoring and the overseas relocation of the manufacturing and the operations aspect of a business has been increasingly popular over the recent years especially among many developed countries in the world. This was mainly due to the promise that offshoring brings to these companies in terms of saving operational costs and enjoying certain government incentives which these companies may benefit from should they intend to invest and set-up their local operations in particular countries which offer these business opportunities (Denault, J. 2006).
China is one of the most important key relocation countries in the entire world recognized by developed countries as ideal for offshoring opportunities. Currently having the third largest and most developed economy in the world, China excels as the best country for relocation as it offers the cheapest and most ideal site for industrial activities and industrial companies to set up their operations. Dowd, G.C. (2006) states that one of the most important reasons why China is very attractive for offshoring and business relocation is due to its cheap labor cost and highly-skillful labor force.
Not minding the barriers to communication and language, many companies driven to gain a huge percentage reduction in operational costs, flock to China in order to set up their business operations in that specific country amidst many challenges and difficulties these companies are bound to face. In fact, the process of setting up a business operation in China was never an easy task contrary to many people's beliefs. Aside from the language being an important barrier, cultural factors also hugely affect the way businesses from other companies are being set-up.
According to Miller, J. (2005), not only the culture and the language serve as constant barriers to foreign businesses in successfully setting up their business operations in China but also its people or its labor force. In this area, the Human Resource Management of a foreign business intending to set up a relocation business in China needs to perform a lot of work in order to ensure that the right people are employed by the company. Moreover, the Human Resource Management function of the company needs to consider how other foreign companies successfully overcome the most important cultural and people-related challenges in building a business operation in China.
In this paper, the author will be identifying and discussing certain critical aspects in the process of offshoring in China in the context of the relocation experiences of a known toy company in the UK named MEM Toy Company. Specifically, this paper will discuss the possible concerns and issues that the MEM Toy Company's Human Resource Management function may be able to experience as a consequence of the offshoring process and how the company should deal with these problems.
The Cultural Differences between UK and China and its Impact on the Workplace
According to Doke, D. (2004), there are innumerable cultural differences that exist between Western countries and Eastern countries like UK and China. In fact, many companies from the West which send their employees to work in the Eastern countries experience a number of failed assignments with their own employees due to the inability of these employees to blend in and adopt the culture of the East. In the same way, many employees from Eastern countries also find it challenging to adopt and blend in the culture of the West especially with regard to work-related matters.
Bryant, B. & Jonsen, K. (2008) states that the leadership and management in countries in the East like China have proven to be very interesting and challenging because of the diverse cultural composition of the business environments within these countries. Culture, most oftentimes, is what serves to be the biggest hindrance and barrier for many Western companies to set up their operations in Eastern countries like China as well as recruit local employees who will comprise the labor force of these companies.
One of the many cultural differences that exist between UK and China is the language. Apparently, there are some UK employees in China who expect that the Chinese employees will immediately adopt the British culture when it comes to business as well as the British English language. Despite the prior knowledge of the Western companies with regard to the communication problems that may certainly exist between the two, the UK employees still set high expectations upon the Chinese employees that the latter will understand them when they speak (Doke, D. 2004).
Another main cultural difference between the UK and China is their work ethics. Doke, D. (2004) states that the British are very individualistic types of people driven by personal ambition and focus on work while the Chinese are also driven by work and ambition but mainly for their families' welfare. Also, while the Chinese may be clear and direct when it comes to work-related matters, the British are more indirect and understated. The British are also known to take lesser risks compared to Chinese and are open to expressing their distrust when it comes to matters involving new situations that are unfamiliar to them. Furthermore, when it comes to making business decisions, the British are extremely cautious, taking and considering all the sides and angles in the decision making process while the Chinese are more on the riskier side of rapid decision making.
When it comes to meetings, the British' concept of brainstorming is not an interaction and exchange of ideas by a group full of individuals. Instead, in a meeting, people are expected to be quiet when they do not have anything important to say and simply allow the key people to speak their minds. In fact, due to this lack of valuable interaction within meetings, many Chinese employees prefer to not attend meetings anymore as they think it was unnecessary (Doke, D. 2004).
Given these various cultural differences that exist between the British employees and the Chinese employees, all these may serve as important barriers to their unity and effectiveness within the workplace. The communication problems for instance may result to the lack of proper exchange of information and coordination within the entire organization. Also, the differences in the work etiquettes and work ethics between the British and the Chinese may also have the tendency to make certain people feel useless, isolated and even "culture shocked" within the organization (Doke, D. 2004).
Payment Approaches for UK Managers
With regard to the sensitive topic on payment and employee benefits, the UK managers in the context of the MEM Toy Company must consider meeting the best salary payment and benefits to their British managers to be deployed in China. According to ChinaUnique (2007), since the British expatriates from UK are to be deployed to China for a relatively long period of time occupying key positions and crucial roles in the organization, they only deserve to get the right amount of salary, benefits and career development opportunities in order for them to be inspired and driven to fulfill their functions.
Also, ChinaUnique (2007) argues that employing people from the UK and having them deployed to China also entails a lot of persuasive and attractive benefits and salary payments in order for them to grab this offer. This is because these people would be sacrificing a lot for this kind of work including being away from their family and friends for a relatively long period of time, missing any career advancement opportunities they may have under the same company in the UK, putting their own job position at risk by moving from the same company but in a different cultural environment and management set-up and finally, losing their accumulated benefits, achievements and years of service in the same company.
If I were part of the top management of the MEM Toy Company therefore, I would greatly consider a relatively higher and full-benefit salary arrangement for these UK managers considering the kind of labor they will be offering the company, including the high expectations that the company has for them and the amount of sacrifice they would be spending in terms of working in a foreign land away from their family, friends and their so-called "comfort zone". Also, I would recommend that the salary and benefits package of the UK managers be dependent on the job responsibilities and expectations of the company with regard to their role and function as well as the duration or the length of stay of these expatriates in China.
This is in order to satisfy the needs of these individuals and convince them as well that moving to China is an excellent job opportunity and an important career development milestone for them. As a human resource management person, I need to be able to provide these employees an attractive compensation package in order to persuade them that all their efforts and sacrifices will be paid for by the company. This is also another means of showing these employees that the company cares for them and recognizes their talents, skills and potentials as employees which is in fact the main reason why the company intends to send them to work in China.
Possible Issues in Setting up Teams within a Call Center
Establishing a closed control call center in China from the UK Head Office is a rather challenging task for the MEM Toy Company. This is mainly due to the fact that the company has no previous experience in setting up this kind of operations in a foreign land, especially in China, wherein people speak a different language and follows an extremely different culture that the British practice. Also, not only do the language and the culture serve as important barriers for the Toy Company to successfully build a call center operation in China but also the differences in the work etiquettes and work practices of these two different kinds of people.
As a human resource management person, one of the main problems which may possibly arise out of setting up teams within a call center is the issue on disunity. For instance, should the UK managers decide to set up a call center filled with two kinds of teams, the Chinese and the British, division and competition will definitely arise from it. There will be a so-called "clash of the cultures" which may result to disunity within the organization which from a human resource management perspective is quite unhealthy for the entire company given that the company is within the borders of China.
Another possible issue that may arise from setting up teams within the call center is the main problem on discrimination. It would be very easy and convenient for the UK managers to commit acts of discrimination against their Chinese employees as they intend to run the company under the British culture. Discrimination may arise in terms of the salary and benefits package that are offered to the Chinese employees as compared to the British employees. Also, there will possibly be discrimination in the way the management treats their employees. Since the management is controlled by the British people, it is very possible for them to treat the two teams differently from each other instead of treating them equally with respect.
In addressing these two main problems on disunity and discrimination therefore, several methods of preventing these issues from occurring may be implemented by the Human Resources Management. One is to ensure that the employees are well shuffled into various groups to ensure that the British employees are mixed with the Chinese employees. This is also for the benefit of both cultures to be oriented with one another's beliefs, principles and languages. Both cultures need to constantly interact and be exposed to one another in order to slowly remove the barrier that exists between the two as well as allow them to become aware and understand the kind of culture each has. I personally believe that without exposing these people to one another's culture, understanding and unity will be quite impossible to achieve.
Another means of preventing the issue on disunity and discrimination from occurring is through inspiring the British management or the UK managers to come up with a set of company rules and policy against employee discrimination. It is the management who are expected to be on top of this effort as without their cooperation and strict implementation of these policies and rules against discrimination, discriminatory acts will inevitably be committed by the people within the organization.
Merits of Sending an Expatriate from the UK to Manage the Call Center against Local Management Recruitment
The main benefit that the MEM Toy Company would be able to gain by sending an expatriate from the UK to work in China as opposed to recruiting new sets of managers from the locals is the fact that the company intends to bring and maintain the British culture within the company. It would be impossible for the company therefore to transfer or move their culture to the call center in China without allowing their own breed of British managers to take control of the management and operations of the entire company.
It would also be advantageous for the company to hire the services of the existing UK managers that they have in the head office as they know who these people are. Trust has already been built as a result of the many years of service that these UK managers have provided the company and therefore, it is only logical for the MEM Toy Company to entrust this huge responsibility of managing their first call center business in China to the people they trust and believe have the potential to achieve the vision and mission of the company.
Also, more than the transfer of culture and the trust and credibility that these people have built for years of service in the MEM Toy Company, it is also for the benefit of the company to skip the recruitment process in hiring for the key and most crucial roles and function in the organization. Since these UK managers are already well-adept with the kind of culture and working environment that the head office has, it would not be as tough for them to function based on their assigned roles and responsibilities as compared to recruiting a manager from the Chinese locals and going through a long and time-consuming training process of equipping this person with the necessary knowledge and understanding on the nature of the business and the organization.
Given all these advantages including the benefit of "understanding and speaking the same language and practicing the same kind of culture" it would therefore be more practical and highly advantageous for the MEM Toy Company to recruit UK managers against Chinese locals for the managerial position in the call center company that the company intends to establish in China.

Marfreless Says It Will Reopen Later This Summer In Same Spot
The scene outside Marfreless' famous blue door the night of March 30
Photo by Francisco Montes
After closing at the end of March, Marfreless, the notorious River Oaks bar known equally for its ritzy interior and the countless clandestine assignations that happened there, has announced that it will be back later this summer under new ownership, but in the same spot.
"We are thrilled to announce our reopening this summer at our same 2006 Peden location in River Oaks," read a statement posted on Marfreless' Web site earlier today. "Although we will be under new ownership, we promise the same unique atmosphere, premium menu, friendly staff, and neighborhood charm.
"All this comes with a complete renovation -- from wires and carpet to the furniture you... sit on," it added, tongue squarely in cheek. "You can expect an updated feel with the same Marfreless experience you've come to love. And don't worry, our upstairs seating and iconic blue door will remain."
