Cultural Chaos by Brian McNair
Book DescriptionWith examples drawn from media coverage of the War on Terror, the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Hurricane Katrina and the London underground bombings, Cultural Chaos explores the changing relationship between journalism and power in an increasingly globalised news culture. In this new text, Brian McNair examines the processes of cultural, geographic and political dissolution in the post-Cold War era and the rapid evolution of information and communication technologies. He investigates the impact of these trends on domestic and international journalism and on political processes in democratic and authoritarian societies across the world. Written in a lively and accessible style, Cultural Chaos provides students with an overview of the evolution of the sociology of journalism, a critical review of current thinking within media studies and an argument for a revision and renewal of the paradigms that have dominated the field since the early twentieth century. Separate chapters are devoted to new developments such as the rise of the blogosphere and satellite television news and their impact on journalism more generally. Cultural Chaos will be essential reading for all those interested in the emerging globalised news culture of the twenty-first century.

The hostel is well located within easy distance of transportation and the major sights. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The dorm bed was comfortable, with a separate light and power socket and privacy curtains for each bed, No luggage lockers, but there are lockers in the common room for valuables. The common area is big; the only not great thing is that the shower room/ toilet room combo can create a wait at times. Overall recommended.

Great hostel. Location was good, close to the Confucius temple, lots of other cool sights in walking distance. Staff were friendly and very helpful, helped us find Huayuan night market. Hostel provided great maps that were easy to read and helpful for getting around. Only complaint would be that the laundry machine ruined several of my friends clothes, would not recommend doing laundry here. Apart from that this is probably the best hostel I've been to.

Project Budget$750 - $1500 USD
Project Description
I'm looking for a qualified coder that has strong background in c/c++ and maybe AutoHotkey. Coder needs to have an understanding of pixel searching. (I'm ok with pixelsearching with autohotkey)
What I'm looking from you is to build a Table monitoring - pixel searching application for online poker sites of my choice. I also want a nice platform that is aesthetically appealing.
To give you a general idea of what you will be building, I will open a poker tables from three to four online poker site of my choice to x slot location. The application you build must work with multiple poker tables in one slot. The number of tables can be high as 30 stacked in one slot. The app would have to then start scanning for the image of my choice whether it be the color of the notes or simply new player taking a seat. Once the app finds an action that it's searching for, the table then has to move to a different slot of my choice with an alert sound.
I would also want customize-able option to have a choice of the action it takes from image it scans.
If you are unsure of having the qualified skills to complete this tasks, please look for work else where. I am looking for responsible and talented architect that can complete this task in reasonable period of time.

Pictures of Aldeburgh
in the county of Suffolk
About Aldeburgh
Part of Aldeburgh's fascination is that it has managed to remain almost unaltered for decades, and just a short distance from its shingle beach on the beautiful Suffolk Heritage coast, there is a feast of lovely old properties, some dating back to the 16th-century. The Moot Hall is not to be missed, it was built in 1512 and now houses a small museum. In the town's 15th-century church dedicated to St.Peter and St.Paul, there is a memorial window and a bust commemorating one of Aldeburgh's celebrated sons' - the poet George Crabbe who was born in the town in 1754. His poem 'The Borough' dramatically recalls the harsh life of Suffolk coastal folk in Crabbe's day. Benjamin Brittain, who came to the town and stayed, used this poem as the basis for his famous opera, Peter Grimes. It was Brittain who started the world acclaimed Aldeburgh Festival of Music which is now held at nearby Snape in a grand concert venue developed out of disused Maltings. Snape Maltings is exceptional, not only does it have the concert hall but the complex includes shops, boutiques, art and antique galleries and restaurants.
Aldeburgh is a bustling little place where you can purchase fresh fish on the unspoilt sea front whilst enjoying a delightful stroll drinking in the quiet atmosphere and admiring the endless flow of colourful fishing boats, smart yachts and sea-sport enthusiasts.
Though on a smaller scale, there still exists a thriving fishing industry, and the visitor can take pleasure in seeing old fishing huts and working boats bringing in their catch in from the sea. The Royal National Lifeboat Station makes an interesting visit, it's main attraction is the famous Aldeburgh Lifeboat.
Away from the beach there are delightful shops to browse and pleasant restaurants featuring fresh fish and seafood. For those who prefer a more traditional seaside special, there is an excellent fish and chip shop. The town hosts a number of year round events these include a colourful annual carnival which culminates in a twilight lantern procession and a beachside firework display.
South of Slaughden Quay, you can see the Martello tower, this was the last in a chain of defences built against Napoleon in the 1800's.
Along this part of the Suffolk Heritage coast there is a host of interesting coastal villages, each with much to offer - these include Thorpness with its lovely Mere, water-tower and windmill, and Orford which has an 800 year old castle.

Earlier this week, Google lowered prices 10 percent across the board on their Google Compute Engine cloud platform . The cost is getting so low, it's almost trivial for anyone to absorb the costs of running infrastructure in the cloud, but you have to wonder as the cloud pricing wars continue, how low can they go and if it's a war anyone can win.
The end game is obviously zero, but these companies have overhead and while the Big Three cloud computing companies –Google, Amazon and Microsoft –run their Infrastructure as a Service as a side business, chances are their stock holders don't want to see them giving it away for nothing, a point we seem to be approaching quickly.
Just this week, Oracle shocked the world (or at least me) when it announced it would lower its Database as a Service pricing to match Amazon's. This is Oracle we're talking about, a company known for its high prices joining the pricing wars. It's one thing for the Big Three to engage in this type of activity, but for a traditional enterprise software (and hardware) company used to high profits, it's startling.

Tale Of The Forefathers
The sun rises to shine over the green lands.
The warm light revives the sleeping plants.
All that is now sleeping starts to wake up.
The birds start to sing the morning songs of joy.
The forest animals start to come out of the dents.
The air is filled with the smell of fresh grass.
All starts to come to life as spring arrives.
The forest now is full of life.
Young ones now learn how to live in this world.
Parents guide them through the unknown.
Their footsteps are at first unsure but later they become full of life.
The voice of happiness of the young ones now echoes across the lands.
A father wolf shows his son the lands.
The young wolf gazes upon the endless green field.
All the animals run through the grass with grace.
The young ones follow their parents step by step.
Around the river all the forest animals are gathered.
They enjoy the fresh water of the mountains.
The youngsters are afraid of their reflection in the water.
A feast is happening around the river.
Now the last snow melts away and gives way for the warm.
Everything lives under the warm lights of the sun.
Once asleep and now reawakened.
The spirit of the forefathers lives inside the new generation.
Their pride now rests in the soul and hears of all the young ones.
It's said that old die to make way for the young ones.
But that isn't true at all, they never died.
Their hearts, souls, pride lives in each and every new creature.
They never left this world, they are right besides us.
Giving us the strength and will to move one.
They watch us over and guide us to the right path.
That's their role as our forefathers!

Oh my, after all that work to get the CHRP recognized on equal footing with other designations, they've now wasted all that effort with further confusion and watering down of all that was built up. You don't have degrees of accountants, or different quality of engineers, or lawyers...each can have specialties but not entry level, middle and executive as part of a designation. How disjointed do you have to be and how do you earn the next level? Peer review? What a joke CHRP has become.
This is just another money grab by the already over-priced HRPA - I will say NO THANKS!!!
I completely agree HRPA has become such a money grabbing organization. They claim we HR folks have asked for this and I don't know any who have. Also many organizations out there don't have CHRP as a requirement or even an asset as many organizations besides HRPA dont find value of it. I'm hoping many will discontinue their membership as i most definetly will.
What a money grab - I'm sure there will be "administrative costs" to be reviewed for the other levels. We have barely got to the point of organizations requiring CHRP for their HR job postings. Now HRPA want to throw more random letters on it. My CHRP recognizes my education and professional accountabilities, my resume speaks for my experience, not some letters that are not recognized by anyone.
I was not planning on submitting my experience until 5 years down the line (since I am now in a well paying job that is 'hr' but doesn't fit the experience requirement, and I have to keep the well paying job until my husband finishes school; I just can't take the paycut right now). However! Now, I must do my experience by 2018 (not going to happen), and must take another course and do a test ($$$), and also get the 66.7 hours of CPD in three years (did I mention I work two jobs at about 65-70 hours a week? When am I supposed to do this?). I was hoping to establish myself financially (no loan, house, etc.) before I could take the paycut required to get an 'hr' job that will entry level that will then help me get into an hr job that will count towards experience. I have found myself completely burdened by this change! I have sent an email to the HRPA with no response yet. (I am assuming that they are receiving many emails!).
Also, the email I received today essentially said: "Congrats! You are now a CHRP! Now, do all this stuff in a short amount of time and pay us the extra money to do it or we'll take it away. You're welcome!"
So let me get this straight...anyone who passes the NKE will now be granted their CHRP?! What a joke! So much for making it a respectable designation.
Yesterday I received an email whereby HRPA slotted me into one of their new designations. This was upsetting because I don't get a say in which designation I fall into. What criteria are they using to assess my experience. I am not impressed with how this was done.
Interesting perspectives:) "Money grabbing, time wasting etc.etc." first, I took a post graduate HRM program and by that time I wrote Tier 1 and 11, I needed a degree to get my CHRP:(, so I put my family on hold and went back to get not one but two degrees to meet the 2010 requirements for CHRP:) but wait, I wasted all these years, being broke, no activities for my kids and now for a CHRP, I don't need a degree??? Wow, slick marketing and rebranding is at work here. It's like to consumer package goods industry. When a product's life cycle is over, it's rebranded, upgraded for a new curb appeal(new consumer market) so that they can make more money from the same population. But, as consumers, we have no choice but to spend and consume. This is no different and yes, companies will catch the wave sooner rather than later and start asking for specific designations.It's a positive approach if you want to wait out the storm. The bottom CHRP will support the top end..CHRE.so what about those HR Executive that never even grew up in HR, will they even care about these designations? Another positive side is the career advancement and the compensation that this will definitely drive on good traction. It's not that bad if you want to stick around until the dust is settled after the shock wears off. We're HR professionals and we need to manage our changes too if of course you're in charge of change management.Happy Friday.
So the HRPA spent about 18 months organizing discussions with various "experts" and came up with these 3 levels... when did they ask the members? Just after everything was cooked and fully decided! About a month ago they sent a long online survey to all members, asking about the prestige (perception) of the CHRP designation and opinions around dividing it to 3 levels. However, this was just a formality because everything had been decided by that panel of "experts" who will remain anonymous. What a disappointment!
Absolutely, 100% money grab. They just needed to come up with a creative way to charge more for membership. They continue to compare HR to Tier 1 professions like accounting, but their designations are based on areas of expertise, not years of experience. The HRPA has simply devalued the CHRP designation.
I do NOT support this action. HRPA membership fees and the exams are all over priced. I too (as mentioned by a member)am yet to find an HR professional who has asked for this (as claimed). Designations are no guarantee to better performers. There is no need for this. A big de-motivator to job hunting HR professionals.
I couldn't agree more with all of these comments. From my perspective over 25+ years in a senior HR role the CHRP has always been a moving target. I missed being grandfathered for it by mere months at the start of my HR career, took the Tier 1 & 2 courses and obtained my CPM (never mentioned anymore but a lot of work to get there), and with each step I took the requirements to be considered for the CHRP had moved another step beyond me. Eventually I was invited to apply for the SHRP designation - how nice, but of course I would have to pay a fee to be considered, and then take more courses etc. to maintain, and so on. It has always seemed a money grab to me. I believe that if you are an actively practicing HR professional you are getting all the experience day to day you need to be able to keep up with changes in legislation, etc. This is never recognized. And I don't believe the HRPA does a proper job of consulting members before taking these steps. We saw this with respect to Bill 32. Maybe all of these comments will give them some motivation to listen finally.
Hi all. I'd like to refer you to http://hrdesignations.ca. The decision to introduce a new certification framework and 3 levels of designations was not taken lightly and the last thing on anyone's mind was "money grabbing." The knowledge base hadn't been updated since 1996; unlike other tier one professions it did not test the ability to apply knowledge and didn't even include workplace and employment law; the CHRP is awarded according to very different criteria from province to province. I could go on, but it's all on the website, and I encourage you to explore the rationale for the new certification framework.
Our Association in Alberta lags behind you guys but there in national frustration. Can we not hold these Associations accountable? Is there a body that would make them have to pull up their socks and stop wasting our money and time for nothing?
Thankfully we were just sent out an email indicating that Alberta is staying "as is"
If we continue to have differences for achievement and maintenance of the designation from province to province the CHRP will only become diluted in value.It has been a few years since I have joined a different provincial organization, but things like this continue to prove my point.
This change further dilutes the designation and to be frank, there is no point in keeping the designation anymore. There goes my entire 10 years of working diligently to obtain the CHRP only to have it diluted to entry level! And who made the decision to arbitrarily award me the CHRL designation? (Guess its better than remaining CHRP...) HRPA, you have made an unecessary change which will cost us all more $$, no doubt! I will have to think twice about renewing my membership once next year's fees come out.
I'm actually benefiting from this change because I wrote the CKE last Saturday (Nov.1) and if I pass I'll be awarded the CHRP without having to submit experience or a degree. Even though I do have HR experience as well as a business degree, I won't pursue the CHRL because IT MEANS NOTHING in other provinces or outside of Canada. The CHRP is at least recognized nationally and by the SHRM south of the border. If I were a CHRP right now I'd be very disappointed to have my designation changed to something for which I haven't been involved.
I have been in the HR field for over 20 years working in a senior role and as for HRPA they have done nothing for me except take my money. Last year I decided I had had enough and cancelled my membership which also cancelled my CHRP designation - oh well never did me any good anyway.
I have worked in HR for 15+ years and more than half of that in a senior role. I do not have a degree as I went to college rather than university and because of this HRPA will not allow me to write the NKE. I have applied for the SHRP on two occasions. Twice I was turned down for very vague reasons. They wouldn't even give me the benefit of a panel discussion. I have done a lot of research on who holds this SHRP and some SHRP holders have worked in recruiting and recruiting only or have far less years experience than me. They could not possibly have the wealth of knowledge that I have. I have worked on every aspect of the HR field and there is no way that someone who has a 4 year degree with no experience is a better HR candidate or more professional than me. It's very disheartening that HRPA is ruining many HR professionals careers with the restrictions on their designations. I am very angry with them all and HRPA is making a spectacle of the HR profession.
As I previously commented, I've had over 25 years of senior HR experience and never obtained the CHRP designation, or the SHRP which I was invited to apply for, because it always seemed a moving target and I got tired of trying to make the effort when I realized it would never be over and there would always be continuing effort and expense if I finally got there. I find it incredibly ironic that after recently resigning from the organization they have now conferred the CHRP designation on "grandfathered" people who have passed the NKE - I obtained the certificate in HR Management before they had the national exam, and I have a degree. I suppose that if I had remained for a few months longer I would have finally achieved the designation which they have now devalued by announcing it as "entry level" But maybe, since I didn't write the national exam I wouldn't be considered good enough still. What a farce this has all turned into. How can anyone take this organization seriously anymore, and this so recently following all the posturing about how Bill 32 was going to do so much to advance the designation.
There is an interesting article explaining the designations here - http://www.hrreporter.com/articleview/22669-hrpa-launching-3-level-hr-designation
Nice work HRPA! It sounds like this change is really benefiting your members and the profession! (sarcasm intended)Lets add a few more: New To HR Professional (NTHRP), 3 To 5 Years Experience HR Professional 3T5YEHRP, Thinking of Practicing HR Professional (TPHRP)Keep up the good work!
In HR we talk so much about Respect, Trust/Trustworthiness and Fairness... unfortunately our own association is not displaying those traits...
HR professionals practising at the professional level without three years' experience and a university degree should have the opportunity to practise within a professional framework, especially in Ontario with its new public Act. This makes me eligible to at least hold one designation in my profession provided I pass the exam. I just sent my documents off to HRPA. Personally, I am more at the CHRE level but I will take baby steps.
I think the whole profession is devaluing itsaelf every time they come up with these new "certifications". Lawyers are lawyers, doctors are doctors. They don't get higher "designations" because they have a master's or doctorate in their profession. They are still just doctors or lawyers, albeit specialists of a kind. They can be Queens Counsel, but they are still just lawyers. I think this whole tiered certification is a vexatious effort to try to convince the legislature the profession is worthy of being self-regulated, but the reality is they are just devaluing the CHRP designation to the point that the legislature won't see the profession as anything more than mediocrely-skilled managers.
"Existing CHRPs, SHRPs and CHRP will be grandfathered into the CHRL, CHRE, and CHRP designations" What exactly does this me for a CHRP holder?
Another question I would have - is how will they determine who deserves what when the CHRP is a consultant with over 15 years of experience. The duties and responsibilities and constant education that go with that would not even be recognized because the consultant isn't in a large organization. Another joke about the CHRP (in my opinion) is that we never had to take any administrative law courses to obtain the certification. So much of what we do in our profession is subject to legal challenges; and yet it's not even required at a very basic understanding of employment standards in the respective provinces? In all the years I have done HR, I have never been asked if I have a CHRP...where is the value for my money?
It is my understanding that as of June 2016 you will have to complete an examination on employment law in order to obtain the "entry" level CHRP.
Add me to the list of disgruntled members of the HRPAO. I obtained my CHRP more out of fear than anything - hey I was young and ambitious, what can I say? I believed the Association when it told me I HAD to have it. 12 years later, I have never been asked for my CHRP, I have received nothing in return for it, no one cares except the Association who seems to care very much that I keep sending them money. Now, having said that, I think it is important to have a designation, it does legitimize our profession, and some of us did work hard for our CHRP, however, these additional levels are watering down the designation. I have more to say but I say it every year to the HRPAO and nothing ever happens, so maybe this year, I will say what I have to say by not renewing my membership.
I agree, this is insane with the new certifications, yearly fees, & other HRPA activities. Why change now? http://www.hrreporter.com/articleview/22669-hrpa-launching-3-level-hr-designation I read that students that graduate from accredited HRM programs do not have to take the exam.
I was doing some research on this designation and came on this article, and find many of the comments left back then to still hold true today. It's a money grab, nothing more nothing less. Sure it's a good mean to keep you updated on new development in HR but did you see how much these workshops and conferences cost?? Plus the membership fees plus chapter fees eat a whole $400-500+ per year, and for what? Just so that I get a monthly magazine from them? Sorry I get better bangs for that $500/years + workshop/conference cost somewhere else. I read millions of stuffs on HR, including legislation changes and my company even send me updates and we have discussions at work on this. Will this ever be recognized? Unlikely, especially that for HRPA, it's all about how much money is involved. My company provides me free access to HR books/magazines, just as the municipal library, and I read books and magazines on HR to keep me up to date and I fine tune my skills to what the company needs to succeed that year, not to a prof organization requirements. HRPA doesn't pay my salary (actually it's the reverse), my company does, so I care more about the skills and competencies my company needs so that they make more money. CHRP/L/E is irrelevant, whether those skills I have and keep developing actually meet CHRP/L/E designation.I actually met all the requirement for the CHRP candidate designation (now changed to CHRP) back in 2012, but was missing the experience. I took a position which was a more specialized field in HR and was involved in other things that wouldn't qualify to meet the experience requirement. Did I care at start? Yes. But after a while, I don't regret it at all to have closed my HRPA membership. I better spend this membership fees on things my company actually needs, be it HR or other related things such as finance and strategy than wasting on a membership fee so that I can flaunt it to the world.
The majority of jobs posted on Hire Authority ask the the applicant "have, or be working toward, their designation": employers do care. Two consecutive surveys by PayScale indicate that designated HR professionals earn more than non-designated professionals. As for "watering down designations", Carolyn, it is just the opposite--the credentials for CHRL and CHRE once they are fully implemented will create strong distinctions between the three designations. If you say HRPA has watered down the distinction between more experienced and less experienced designated practitioners, then it would be even more true of a profession whose designation framework doesn't include a ladder based on competency.
I guess Chris Larsen didn't get the thrust of the "watering down" comments. "Watering down" means "diluting" or "devaluing". "Creating strong distinction" between the three designations is exactly what was meant by "watering down " - the "distinctions" are devaluing and diluting the value of the CHRP. Other provinces have only the CHRP, or, a "SHRP" designation, which signifies a "senior" HRP designation. Even that was met with strong opposition, as it was also a devaluing. Some associations tried to compare it to a "Q.C" designation for lawyers, but even that didn't fly as the QC designation has an entirely different process for nomination and awarding, and it doesn't include an "examination" to qualify, and it is not administered by the accrediting body. I have not et heard a single cogent argument as to the justification of this system, and despite protections to the contrary by the association, all I can see it benefitting is the coffers of the HR Association.

Media Training
Carmine's media training clients make news every day. It's likely that on any given day, you might read about his clients in the New York Times or see them on CNBC. For example Carmine is the exclusive media training coach for Intel. Hundreds of managers have gone through Carmine's half or full-day media training sessions. No one is allowed to speak to the press until they have completed Carmine's workshop.

Messaging is the key focus, with delivery style and body language as a supporting focus.
Carmine is a tremendous teacher and a true expert in media training. He provides succinct, memorable advice and counsel that can make a significant impact.

In my experience with several media training classes through the Commission, Carmine's approach opened up a new understanding of how we can make the interview a more positive experience. Carmine has a unique way of bringing out our best capabilities. I have never experienced anything like it in previous media training sessions. Carmine is my go-to coach!
Mark Murai,
President, California Strawberry Commission
Carmine is flat out the best media training and presentation skills coach I have worked with. He is great with clients, keeps people engaged and provides real world solutions.
Robert McWilliams
McWilliams Productions
Carmine, thanks for the experience yesterday with media training. It was definitely a great, humbling and productive session. It learned a lot. It really inspired us.
Matt Nitowsky, Disney
When our members need media training, we always use Carmine Gallo because we know the preparation will be first rate. In addition, we also know that our members will leave the session confident in their ability to respond to any reporters' questions or media situation. Our members are very important to us and it's our job to help them manage issues and the media effectively which is why we wouldn't put them in anyone else's hands.
Teresa Thorne
Alliance for Food and Farming
Carmine, Thanks for the great coaching. The workshop was very beneficial to me: it helped me to structure what I needed to say about our company and brand, and also gave me a better sense of what would be perceived interesting by the media. Many thanks.
Danielle Jin
Brand Manager, Ghirardelli
In preparation for my upcoming role as an industry spokesperson for a agricultural grower I participated in a day of professional, "top-notch" media training with Carmine Gallo. Carmine did a tremendous job empowering me with the specific techniques necessary to deliver well-formulated messages for my Dateline interview. Carmine's expertise empowered me with great confidence and highly effective communications skills. Personally, the experience was invaluable – certainly the opportunity of a lifetime – techniques I'll embrace and utilize in all areas of my professional career.

Messaging Session / Message Mapping
In 2006, a major food-borne illness spread across North America. Carmine received a call hours after the news hit. He immediately met with principle spokespeople and helped them refine mountains of information and scientific data into a one-page "message map" that everyone used to explain the outbreak: growers, scientists, government officials, and public relations professionals. Over the next few months, Carmine introduced the message structure to dozens of spokespeople in the industry. Surveys later confirmed that consumers who had lost confidence in this particular commodity had fully regained their trust after hearing the story Carmine and his team helped construct.
Gallo Communications will work with your team to create a compelling narrative around your company, product, service, initiative or campaign. We can also work with your primary spokespeople to deliver the messages as effectively as possible. At the end of each session, a message map is generated and provided to the client to use for marketing collateral, presentation content or internal communication.
Carmine, the entire group enjoyed your insight and assistance and should greatly benefit from everything you taught us. We are working on refining this message based on your input from yesterday.
Marc Cool, CEO, Seeds of Change
Carmine, I cannot tell you how pleased we were with yesterday's session. It was exactly what this group needed! You are a genius!!
California Tomato Growers Association
Crisis Communications
When a leading back lost thousands of tapes with customers' personal information, bank executives called Carmine before they officially revealed the information to the public. After signing non-disclosure agreements, Carmine helped the bank create and refine the messages they would use to discuss the incident and worked one-on-one with the bank's primary spokespeople.
Whether you're in the middle of a crisis or preparing for potential problems, contact Gallo Communications for immediate, effective, proven and confidential consulting. We work best with companies and industries that already have an existing crisis plan in place. Specifically, we focus on developing key messages around "developed" crisis scenarios for the client's industry. We also incorporate a professional videographer and a reporter who contribute to the mock media experience. The spokespeople participating in these sessions come away with the story and delivery skills necessary to manage a crisis in the eye of the media and to maintain consumer confidence.
Carmine, you have been a great asset for these family members of fallen firefighters. I truly appreciate your dedication. Everyone in the audience was moved to tears.
Cathy Hedrick, Fallen Firefighters Foundation
7 Principles of Inspiring Leadership
Only 10% of employees look forward to going to work. The other 90% cite a lack of leadership as the reason they're discouraged. Carmine's book, Fire Them Up, reveals the language of motivation as practiced by the world's most inspiring leaders. More than two dozen men and women participated in the content. They represent some of the world's most admired brands including Google, Starbucks, the Ritz-Carlton, and many others.
The Gallo Communications' "Fire Them Up" seminar is the last motivational workshop your group will ever need-because we teach executives, managers, sales professionals video clips, case studies, and engaging activities designed to energize the group and inspire them to take action.
You are a shining example of Performance with Purpose. Thank you for your leadership.
John Compton, CEO, Pepsico Americas Food

Sir: The Department of Environment's proposals on water conservation encourage metering for people's homes ("Gummer backs spread of meters to cut water use", 21 August). Save the Children is very concerned about the impact such a policy could have on the health and welfare of children of low-income families.
Preliminary findings from research undertaken by Save the Children earlier this year suggest that families on low incomes with water meters are placed under extra pressure to save water, just to keep their bills down. The measures undertaken can sometimes be quite drastic.
Government statistics indicate that the national average proportion of income spent on water by all metered households is around 1 per cent. For low-income families, the study found that the proportion of income they spent on water was about four times this amount. Those in arrears spent a lot more. The families we spoke to in this study said that they were having to put their children's health on the line because they cannot afford to pay for water.
We hope that this study will alert policy-makers to consider these problems, which could become more widespread if water metering was introduced universally. In determining a policy on charging for water, a key principle should be that water for basic human needs should be affordable to all families.
Yours faithfully,
Michael Taylor

You know how Andy Rooney starts out his program with asking..."Why is it that....."
Well, WHY IS IT that every time somebody tells me "ohh be careful, this
plant is a self-seeder and will take over your garden", I can barely get
the thing to grow. (A few examples - Cleome, black-eyed susan,
yarrow...) In some areas I WANT the plant to take over and just go nuts.
And I'm doing good to get one stinking flower the next year. Well - this
spring I am starting MORE from seed, in my garage with a grow light, and
maybe I'll get more of them next year. The only place I have ever been
able to really, really GROW things...was in Kansas City. I could put a
stick in the ground and it would grow. I grew the BEST tomatoes there.
Haven't been able to grow them since. Tooey.

Cardinals starter Garcia rolls along until disaster strikes
St. Louis Cardinals left-hander Jaime Garcia seemed to be cruising along Sunday with a three-run lead in the fifth inning.
"I wish we could average six runs a game the rest of the series. We'd take our chances," Cardinals manager Tony La Russa said after his team's 9-6 loss to the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 1 of the National League Championship Series.
"He (Garcia) was really good and three pitches, bam, bam, bam it was gone. I think he's just young. He has to learn."
A double by Jerry Hairston Jr. on a changeup, a two-run double by Ryan Braun on a sinker and a home run by Prince Fielder on a slider, and the Cardinals' seemingly comfortable cushion had vanished.
They never recovered, and reliever Octavio Dotel added to the nightmarish inning when he committed an error on a grounder by Rickie Weeks and gave up a two-run homer to Yuniesky Betancourt.
The Cardinals gave a decent offensive performance against Brewers starter Zack Greinke, getting to him for six runs in six innings, but it did little good.
"They have a good quick-strike type offense, especially with those two guys (Braun and Fielder) in the middle," Cardinals outfielder LanceBerkman said. "A lot can happen. It's always dangerous to put guys on base in front of them and they came through again."
Near miss: St. Louis did pull within 8-6 in the seventh, but Albert Pujols missed a chance to strike a big blow with runners at first and third and no outs.
Pujols grounded into a double play as Furcal scored, but Brewers reliever Takashi Saito escaped with minimal damage.
"I had a good pitch to hit and just missed it," Pujols said of a pitch he fouled off in that sequence. "You throw me that pitch - I bet you seven out of 10 times I'll put that ball in the seats. It's baseball. I'm going to get other opportunities and hopefully I'll come through."
Pujols said the Cardinals would not be overly concerned about losing Game 1.
"We've lost some tough games and we bounced back," Pujols said. "We did it against Philly (in the division series) and we did it the last two weeks of the season when we needed a win.
"This is a long series. Just because of one game, the series is not over."
Trade benefits: Cardinals Game 2 starter Edwin Jackson arrived at the trade deadline and made a huge impact as St. Louis roared back to claim the NL wild-card berth.
He went 5-2 with the Cardinals and compiled a 3.58 earned run average in 78 innings. That was after going 7-7 for the Chicago White Sox before the July 27 trade, which briefly sent him to Toronto as part of the deal.
On the same day the Blue Jays traded Jackson, relievers Dotel and Mark Rzepczynski and outfielder Corey Patterson to St. Louis.
"It was just a couple pieces they needed to fill in to what they already had," Jackson said. "We came over and definitely the guys made it easy on us, welcomed us with open arms.
"The group of guys we brought in were veterans for the most part. Nobody had to have a baby-sitter with them."
Jackson was shelled by the Brewers in an Aug. 3 start at Miller Park. La Russa wanted to save his bullpen and left Jackson in for seven innings, even though he allowed 10 runs on 14 hits and gave up three homers to Casey McGehee.
Pitching a priority: La Russa said pitchers Lance Lynn and Kyle McClellan were added to the team's National League Championship Series roster to provide bullpen depth.
Both pitched in Game 1, with Lynn holding the Brewers scoreless in the sixth and McClellan allowing a run on two hits in one-third of an inning in the seventh. Betancourt hit a leadoff double and scored on a one-out single by Jonathan Lucroy.
"I felt good," McClellan said. "I felt my stuff was sharp and I had command of it for the most part.
"The one Betancourt hit wasn't a good pitch but Lucroy put a heck of an at-bat together and hit a good pitch," McClellan said.
Left off the NLCS roster were second baseman Skip Schumaker (strained right oblique) and fifth starter Jake Westbrook.
"The toughest thing was (leaving off) Westbrook," La Russa said.
"The most compelling reason is he's our protection during the series if a starter has an early problem or you go in extra innings. In that role, you're available every day and you can't stay in shape.
"So we just said we have three relievers who are eligible and healthy and ready to go, Lynn, McClellan and (Eduardo) Sanchez. We took two of the three. We're still worried it's not smart to pitch Sanchez back to back, and that was the big difference."
Lynn has been out since early August with a strained oblique. McClellan was left off the Cardinals' NLDS roster.
La Russa also said he was satisfied with the Cardinals' options at second base with Schumaker out. Nick Punto and Ryan Theriot are the replacements, with Theriot getting the start in Game 1 and batting eighth.
"I've looked ahead a little bit and I can see a game where Nick would play," La Russa said. "I think we're in good hands with either guy."
The Cardinals have 13 position players and 12 pitchers on their NLCS roster.
"When you've got talent like Lynn and McClellan that you can put on the roster.....it's nice to have the sixth guy," La Russa said. "But the Brewers are basically a right-handed hitting team and we just felt the extra pitcher (was needed). There are days you play three in a row and we'd rather have the pitching depth."

I am an artist, photographer and musician living in Leeds UK. I took up photography about a year ago and have since built up a large range of cameras, mostly film. I shoot most of my work on either my Bronica SQ-B or Pentax Spotmatic SP1000. I also shoot a lot with toy cameras such as the Holga, I love the unpredictability of the results. I love to use my Lomo L-CA, and have it on me all the time just in case I need a camera. I also like to paint, and enjoy integrating this into my photography.

In unemployment, we count dead-ends, rather than carving out achievements.
So how do we move away from failures and shortcomings, and toward achievements and assets?
Welcome to
This is the story of a six-month-long project about getting to know people on the margins of the economy, in Peterborough, Ontario. We asked them to help us design better approaches for services, programs, and networks in which people can flourish.
Unemployment is a journey with no real milestones
…And only one target, one metric: getting a job (even a crappy one).
Isn't it time we started redefining what it means to be unemployed, and embraced a model of carving out success rather than setting up for failure?
Resumes distributed
Job offers
What will I find here?
- True stories of people feeling stuck without work, or in crappy, precarious jobs, as well as those finding a way forward.
- A bottom-side-up approach to program development that starts with people and aims to change policy.
- A call to action! To join us in a second phase of generating research + development capacity across our sector.
