The CEO Challenge in Asia: Implications for Human Capital Professionals (Part 1)
Join a high-level conversation with fellow industry leaders and experts from The Conference Board to address emerging business issues identified by our members. Each KnowlEdge Series is composed of three or four half-hour programs that build on each other. The interactive, web-based format ensures ease of access. Supplemental materials and online availability keep the discussion going long after the series ends. Provocative and proactive, the KnowlEdge Series informs and deepens your company's internal dialogue on the most pressing issues of the day.
Since 1999, The Conference Board CEO Challenge Survey has asked CEOs, presidents, and chairmen across the globe to identify their most critical challenges. According to the more than 700 top executives who responded to the 2011 edition of the survey, after years of combating the effects of the global recession and, in some cases, fighting for survival, companies are revving their engines for growth. However, while overall CEOs may agree that Business Growth is the most critical challenge they face in the year ahead, in Asia, CEOs cite Talent as their most pressing concern and greatest potential limit on achieving their ambitious growth goals.
This two part Knowledge Series will cover:
- How are CEOs across the globe approaching the challenges of Talent as part of their overall growth strategies?
- What talent strategies are Asia CEOs considering as they address this challenge?
- What are the implications for Human Capital executives in the region as they seek to develop talent, enhance leadership, attract and retain a high quality workforce and plan for unprecedented growth in the coming years?
Please join Dr. Rebecca Ray, the Conference Board's Vice President and Managing Director, Human Capital and her guests as they explore the results of this global study and the strategic priorities of Human Capital leaders in Asia.
Audience: Executives within corporations in Asia who are responsible for developing and/or implementing the company's human capital strategies and HR policies will benefit from this webcast. This includes managers in Talent Management, Leadership Development, Engagement, HR, finance, planning and related areas.

I collect Jordan Shoes, Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards and SnapBack Caps
I collect Jordan Shoes, Yu-Gi-Oh! Cards and SnapBack Caps
Magazines I read. I seriously have everything I ever owned, even including the unofficial beckett's yugioh magazines. Thats almost 7 years worth of magazines.
I used to have a huge collection of stamps and coins, with some rare ones in, but I sold them all.
I know collect Converse Shoes, Pokemon cards and all sorts of figures to put on my shelf.
Yup, I collect weapons (not any firearms though, just sword and knife like things), pretty rocks, used to collect shells that collection should still be on the attic and of course pokemon cards although I barely bought any new ones lately.
Now time for some pics
Here's my weapon collection:
My sword
My katana when it's on the wall
Katana when it's out
A dagger I bought on a flea market. It's really easy to handle (it's not sharp so don't worry)
My scorpion dagger and my spider thingy I don't really know what the spider thing is. I think it's a fist weapon but I'm not sure.
One of those metal fingers goths wear but with a knife on it and a basic shuriken
All of these are for decorative purposes, so they're not sharp. Heck some of them were in my luggage on the plane and they didn't say anything about it as long as I didn't have any of them with me on the plane.
Anyways, here are my rocks (I have some more but those aren't special enough)
Fossilized shells
A friend of me dug them out of the rock in France. They're from the early Devonian so they're around 400 million years old.
In this pic you can see
- an ammonite fossil from Italy
- a trilobite one from Morocco
- lots of italian rocks that contain manganese
- corals from Shark Bay
- one piece of coral from the Straits of Tiran, Egypt
- mountain crystal (I think it's from the Alps but I'm not sure about that)
- a little rock filled with holes that I found on the beach of Normandy in France
- white rock with faint green parts on it that I found in the White Canyon in the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. I think this one is special cause it looked out of place between all that limestone and sand. It also looks like it's been in a river because it's so smooth while it was in the middle of the desert, but maybe that's because of the wind.
And my pokemon cards excluding duplicates, trainer cards and energies Took this pic for a friend who wanted to see them
So yeah, that's about it. Maybe I'll post my seashells too one time, but I don't really feel like looking for them atm.

Seriously thank you for sharing these photos. I really enjoyed your weapons collection. I have a store near me that sells an assortment of different knives, swords, and daggers and I just love to look at them all (I ended up buying a knife from them because the blade is a multitude of colors and it looked cool), so it's even more cool seeing someone who personally owns several items.
I also really love your different coral pieces. It reminds me of all the pieces of coral I saw washed up on the beaches of Hawaii. Thanks again for showing these photos, they're amazing.
Thank you.
I'm still planning to expand my weapons collection. There are still two or three more things I want including a cutlass and something similar to a leather glove with huge knifes coming from the knuckles (I saw a pair of those in Spain years ago but the shop was closed).
And yeah I'm quite proud of my corals. I got them from an old lady I knew who unfortunately passed away quite some time ago. Last year I got a box from my mom containing the pieces of coral and the manganese rocks. Before that lady died she asked my mom to give me that 5 years after her death so it was quite a special present.

I used to collect action figures pretty heavily back in my high school days, but I quickly grew out of that once I went to college and sold most of them (for decent money, too!) I don't really collect anything right now, too busy in college. But I still hung on to a few of my more valuable action figures (my future children's college fund)
Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Unova Champion
I am a Christian and proud of it! Copy and paste this if you are too.
I collect crystals and various interesting stones. I don't really go out of my way to get them, but I have quite a few nice ones.
I collect video game sheet music (yeah not really I just go to nin-sheet music :P). I actually have a shelf full of collectors guide, and have over 40 total including games like Mother 3, TLOZ Oracle of Ages/Seasons, Final Fantasies I - V, and Pokemon Crystal. There's a used book store that tends to have them there so I check about once a month.
I collect a lot of things:
I have over 250 Wrestling DVD's
Most of the Pokemon Games
Video Game Systems
ear phone collection
Video game collection
Other DVD's
Wrestling Belts
stuff animals
MMA/Boxing gloves
work out gloves
and last gloves that I wear every day.
All credits for BT's Army Against Arrogance Banner goes to Brutaka.
All Credits to Black Terminator's Region Express banner goes to Sworn Metalhead
The first time I read this I thought it said onions.
That sword looks like it's got some red on the end...
Anyway, the the scorpion/spider weapons are cool. And I'm not an expert, but I believe the spider weapon would be used by holding it in your fist with 2 fingers on either side of the blade.
Also, the bladed glove weapon you mentioned sounds similar to what Shredder (from TMNT) wears on his hands. I heard a name for it a while back, but can't remember now.

Cooooooooooooooooooins rules!!!! Except when you take a 3 month break from pokemon because you seemingly lost intrest, only to pick it up 3 months later with 2 messages from people on a forum causing you to feel bad about not answering them (tangent)...
Anyway, interresting stuff guys. My coin collection consists of 1/2 mint state mercury dimes (1916-1945) and 1/2 other domestic stuff (proofs, etc.). Not that I expect anyone else to understand what I'm talking about, but...
I used to collect Pokemon Cards. Huhuhuhuh
Saying sorry won't change anything
I think I'm this forums token pop music freak. As such. I have a decent collection of albums and CD singles (those in the UK, Germany, Australia, and some other countries know what I'm talking about.). I think I have about 30-50 albums, and 50-70 singles. Lemme take some photos. ~

Mumford & Sons. (Larry Busacca / Getty Images) |
High-energy arena-folk act Mumford & Sons triumphed over relative newcomers such as Frank Ocean and Fun. to win the most prestigious Grammy prize, album of the year, for its "Babel." The turned-to-11 folk of "Babel" was the only album of the year nominee currently in the top 10.
"Babel," at No. 7 heading into the Grammys, has sold more than 1.7 million copies in the U.S., according to Nielsen SoundScan. The sophomore album from Mumford & Sons was released on Glassnote Records in September and at the time had the biggest debut sales week of 2012, selling approximately 600,000 copies.
"Babel" would soon be eclipsed by Taylor Swift's "Red," which sold more than 1 million copies when it debuted. Ultimately "Babel" finished 2012 as the year's fourth-bestselling album.

Though Mumford & Sons have released just two albums, the band's Grammy ties run deep. While the act was a slow-building success story long before it appeared on the Grammys as Bob Dylan's backing band in 2011, that awards-show moment catapulted the group to grander, mainstream heights.
Keyboardist Ben Lovett earlier singled out that performance as a pivotal moment for the group. "I think it introduced us to people who watch [awards] shows the way we grew up watching music on TV," he said. "It makes sense that it would widen our audience. But we weren't thinking about that at the time."
In the first full sales week following the 2011 Grammys, Mumford & Sons' debut album, "Sigh No More," experienced its best-ever sales week on the chart. Still, the act missed out on winning a new artist Grammy, which went to Esperanza Spalding
The win beats industry and critical favorite Frank Ocean, who represented a shift in mainstream R&B trends. Compared to larger-than-life belters or highly sexualized female stars, Ocean's "Channel Orange" is downright diminutive and took the genre in directions not often heard on the Grammys. Songs such as the nearly 10-minute "Pyramids" are borderline psychedelic, while "Bad Religion" uses little more than an organ and conversational singing to turn a tale of heartbreak into a nail-biter.

He may not have won the top prize, but he was one of the year's biggest music stories. "Channel Orange" became an instant topic of conversation when it was released in July, as it was one of the few major albums to openly deal with issues of sexuality in a genre, R&B, that has largely avoided the topic. Ocean's work was viewed as universal, as it focused on feeling and emotions rather than trying to make a broader statement.
Yet by giving Mumford & Sons the top prize, the Grammys also continues its recent trend of welcoming younger artists to its club. Mumford & Sons, whose members are all in their mid-20s, follows such recent album of the year winners as soul scorcher Adele (2012), orchestral rock act the Arcade Fire (2011) and country princess Taylor Swift (2010).
This year's album of the year crop largely represented a changing of the guard. With the exception of Jack White, none of this year's nominees had been nominated for the top prize before. (White was recognized for his work with his band the White Stripes on the album "Elephant," which lost the prize to OutKast's "Speakerboxxx/The Love Below.")

The field also largely honored artists who adhered more to rock's traditions. White's "Blunderbuss," which has sold 466,000 copies, is steeped in blues, as is the Black Keys "El Camino." The latter, released in late 2011, was one of the biggest rock albums of 2012, having sold more than 1.1 million copies.
Rounding out the field was one of the year's most inescapable artists. Pop act Fun. had a runaway hit with its single "We Are Young," and its nominated album, "Some Nights," sold 992,000 copies.
The Grammys are determined by about 13,000 voting members. The eligibility period for nominated recordings was Oct. 1, 2011, to Sept. 30, 2012. The ceremony is being held at Staples Center and telecast on CBS. It is broadcast live except for viewers on the West Coast. The latest headlines and any breaking news will be posted here on Pop & Hiss.

Well, that takes care of Fermi I. What have you got to show Fermi II is causing temperature inversions in Lake Erie? Fermi II uses closed loop cooling, using lake water for make up.
Your entire post is conjecture.If their is a direct correlation between the consu,ption of greenhouse gases and the warming of the earth then what caused the spike in the 1400's? Greenhouse gases? And that spike was much warmer.
The earth does not have "finite" resources, that is another myth.
fossil fuels are a renewable source.
Ever wonder what happens to all that material that decomposes into the ground?
Do we use too much? Probably and I say lets use other forms of it.
But I will not favor crippling the economy and taxing the middle class into oblivion (because lets face it, that is where EVERY tax increase lands regardless of its intended target) so we can continue to fund the junk science called the end of the earth industry.
And enough with the endless faux news BS rebuttals with no substance. Very tiresome.
If we were to take all the BILLIONS of dollars given to the Oil and Coal industries, and instead invest those same dollars into Green industries (Solar and wind) at least we would be making an attempt to stop polluting, we would be investing in new technologies, and creating new jobs.
Dust BowlThe Dust Bowl dryness of the 1930's is known as one of the worst weather disasters to hit the United States. Although conditions were much worse in the plains states, Michigan was not spared by this dry spell. Three of the five driest years ever recorded in Flint, Saginaw, and Detroit were recorded in the 1930's, with 1930, 33, 34, 36, and 39 being especially dry. In fact, the driest year ever recorded in Michigan history occurred in 1936, with Croswell in Sanilac County recording just 15.64 inches. This dryness caused great distress among farmers, adding an extra strain to people already suffering through the Great Depression. Heat Wave of 1936The period from July 8 – July 14, 1936 is likely the most severe heat wave ever experienced in Michigan, and one of the worst ever recorded in US history. Before this outbreak of heat, the National Weather Service had recorded just 7 days that Detroit had ever reached 100 degrees. That number doubled in just one week, as all 7 days from the 8th through 14th saw 100 degree temperatures. The high temperatures recorded in Detroit were 104,102,102,101,100,102,104. The 104.4 degrees recorded was the second highest temperature ever recorded in Detroit. Perhaps the worst day of all was the 10th, which saw a high of 102 and a low of 77, giving a mean temperature of 90. The weather was even hotter in Saginaw, which saw high temperatures of 104,104,105,107,107,107,111 (the hottest ever recorded). During this outbreak, Mio recorded a temperature of 112, which still stands as the highest temperature ever recorded in Michigan. Aside from doing damage to the record books, this outbreak caused great loss of life. In Detroit alone, 364 people died of the heat, with the elderly and infants being most susceptible to the heat. 570 people died across the state, and 5000 perished nationally from this severe heat wave.
Whatever you say, man. Cherry-picked Socialist claptrap, for sure. It must be Obama's fault. Or Batman's. But not our fault, no way.
The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years.1Earth-orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. Studying these climate data collected over many years reveal the signals of a changing climate.
Wow, 650,000 years of data from orbiting satellites? Who extrapolated what from what?The to follow with the quote "Most of it" "Likely contributed by"... solid arguements from solid facts.Curious why the rush to blame it all on Humans when nature produces it as well, and what the comparison of our planets warming is to those around us, if it's not related to that big yellow thing that appears every day in the sky. Concentrating on one aspect (CO2) is the problem - as there are many variables in this puzzle.
Let us just argue that the earth is only 5000 years old....

McCutchen achieves feat that hasn't been done since 96′
Andrew McCutchen is the first player in Pirates organization to hit at least 15 home runs and have at least 30 stolen bases in a season since 1996 by Al Martin. (McCutchen has 16 HR and 31 SB in 147 games this season).
This feat was achieved by Barry Bonds six times (1986-87, 89-92), Andy Van Slyke twice during 1987-88 and Phil Garner in 1977.
"Hopefully I can just continue to keep making a word for myself," McCutchen said. "Set different goals, get different records and who knows what can happen. It's good, especially since the season isn't over yet. We'll see what I'll be able to accomplish in a full year and where it goes from there."
