Your Modeling Career: You Don't Have to Be a Superstar to Succeed - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Shoot for the moon, and even if youmiss, you’ll land among the stars.” That was the quote that fell out of mycoworker’s fortune cookie.“Here, you take it. You need it more than I do,” my friend said as hehanded me the tiny piece of paper. I taped it on the first page of my newday planner and finished writing out a list of all the agencies I plannedto visit during my first week in New York. That quote stayed with methroughout my journey.I’m proud of this book for many reasons, but mostly because it hasallowed me the opportunity to help others gain insight into the mod-eling business. I have been given a wonderful opportunity to helppotential models make educated decisions concerning the direction oftheir modeling careers. It has been a privilege to hear from readers fromall over the world and hear their stories as well as offer them encour-agement.XMy modeling journey began with aglance through the local Sunday news-paper in my hometown of Beckley,West Virginia. For some reason, my eyeslocked on a small ad that read:Modeling Contest. Under Size 12 NeedNot Apply. Big Beauties and LittleWomen of New York needs new faces intheir full-figure division. Twelve finalistswill be selected and flown to New YorkCity to compete for cash, prizes andmodeling contracts.“I could do that,” I thought tomyself. After all, I had the required fullfigure. Other people would tell me,however, that it was a silly idea. At agetwenty-three, I still lived in a smalltown in southern West Virginia where I grew up. I had a fine job with alocal coal company. For some reason, though, I could not get that littlead out of my mind.
The Body in Action: You Can Keep Your Joints Young - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The other day I was driving at dawn along one of Sydney’s forest-fringed outer highways. It was one of those leafy dappled mornings ofhigh summer with the occasional shaft of sunlight bursting throughthe greenery and making explosions of light wherever it landed. In themiddle, cleaving its way through the foliage, ran my highway; a duskyblue thread of bitumen blending and becoming as one with thewaking forest. As I rounded a corner I came upon a cyclist meander-ing at ease across the nearside lane of the roadway. I hung back tolook because his actions had a compelling quality of beauty to them;a languid mark of excellence that made me want to stay and watchrather than speed on past. I kept my distance, watching transfixed ashe acted out in front of me a perfect virtuoso performance of coordi-nated movement.
Building Organizational Memories: Will You Know What You Knew? (Premier Reference Source) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Much has been written about how organizations create and exchange knowledge to achieve a competitiveadvantage. To date most researchers have concentrated on the present and how organizational leadersmay use knowledge to create value today. This book builds on the many great works in the knowledgemanagement domain; however, it is unique in that the focus will be on what leaders should be doingnow (or soon) to ensure the next generation of organizational leaders know what they knew.The following is a real-world example of why this area of research is important; there are many morereasons articulated in the pages ahead. During an interview on CBS News on September 11, 2006, NewYork Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief John Norman described the unfathomable loss of life of theDepartment’s Special Operations Command five years earlier. On that tragic day, September 11, 2001,Special Operations Command lost 95 men – totaling 1600 years of experience. This is simply unimagi-nable when one considers this specialized unit pioneered techniques for urban rescue and terrorist at-tacks. Surely, it would be impossible to reconstitute the unique and vital knowledge of these brave men.Au contraire, Norman’s team proved that they had plans in place to quickly rebuild their team and onceagain become the best in world. Five years later the knowledge loss was virtually unnoticeable as theteam responded to 50 calls (Pitts, 2006).This story is not meant to demean the heartbreaking loss of very brave men, but rather it is to com-memorate the outstanding leadership, courage, and culture of a team that would not give up. Fortunately,most organizations do not have to suffer the tragic loss that Norman described, but perhaps we can learnfrom their tragedy. Virtually all organizations must deal with organizational memory loss to varyingdegrees. Could your organization rebuild from such devastation?Regrettably, organizational memory loss is not new, consider:One horrible day 1,600 years ago, the wisdom of many centuries went up in flames. The great libraryin Alexandria burned down, a catastrophe at the time and a symbol for all ages of the vulnerability ofhuman knowledge. The tragedy forced scholars to grope to reconstruct a grand literature and sciencethat once lay neatly cataloged in scrolls. (E. Linden, 1991)The message is clear; organizations must develop a strategy to maintain the intellectual capital thatmakes them unique. To be sure, most organizations cannot capture all of their tacit and explicit knowl-edge; however, that is not necessary and perhaps not even desirable. Rather organizational leaders mustput in place the tools and techniques to ensure that mission critical knowledge is maintained for thenext generation

The Complete Canadian Eldercare Guide: Expert Solutions to Help You Make the Best Decisions for Your Loved Ones - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: E ldercare and its inherent superhero responsibilities are the new facts of life for aging Canadians and the invincible baby boomers. Today, as adult sons and daughters with high-maintenance careers, as spouses with ailing partners or rela- tives, we find ourselves juggling work, life, and care responsibility. We are, as the saying goes, “sandwiched” between the care needs of others and our still-dependent children. Research shows that families are, for the most part, unpre- pared for the eldercare challenges that lie ahead. Many move directly into “care in crisis” mode, make plans on the fly, and regret not making decisions about aging issues in advance. Workplace health, wellness, and productivity issues are huge. Today, employers and governments identify productivity, absen- teeism, presenteeism, and retention as key factors for their aging work forces with the statistics pointing to eldercare as one of the biggest hurdles to overcome. Of note: • More than 3.5 million Canadians are currently over the age of 65. By the year 2020, that number will more than double.1 • For 70% of Canadians age 30 to 60, caregiving for aging parents is now a reality with eldercare being shared across families.2 • More than 70% of informal caregivers are women, most often wives (24%) or adult daughters (29%).

You've Gotta Have Heart: Achieving Purpose Beyond Profit in the Social Sector - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: When Jeannie was born in February 1986, she was to be immedi- ately given up for adoption. But because she had a serious heart defect and other medical issues, her adoptive parents-to-be backed out. A second family, the Bornemanns, claimed Jeannie as their daugh- ter. They saw her for the first time when she was just three days old. She had IVs in her head, chest, and both hands and feet, and she had tubes in her nose. Their first words were “Hi, teeny Jeannie! Mommy and Daddy are here!” Jeannie had an extremely rare set of conditions—transposition of the great vessels, pulmonary stenosis, and a ventricular septal defect. Her heart’s chambers and arteries were reversed. Not much was known about this condition then—more research was desperately needed. Jeannie’s doctors inserted a flexible tube called a shunt to increase blood flow. It was all they could do. They hoped that she would get big- ger and stronger and that research would provide new knowledge and tools to help them help her. Jeannie didn’t grow normally. When she was 5, she weighed just 22 pounds and was 29 inches tall. But she was finally strong enough for the corrective surgery that doctors had been waiting to do. Jeannie’s quality of life improved a lot after her surgery. She went to school, played T-ball and soccer, and followed her medical instructions without complaint. Despite a severe hearing impairment, she became a fanatic music lover, especially the music of Elvis. She loved people and life and looked like any other normal, healthy kid—except she was hearing impaired, legally blind, and undersized and had a heart defect. In 1999, at age 13, Jeannie was looking forward to spending a week at a special camp. It was a place where kids with heart disease could make friends, share experiences, and enjoy hiking, fishing, horseback riding, making crafts, and singing around the campfire—while being supervised by doctors, nurses, and other volunteer camp counselors. Swimming was a favorite activity, because, since all the kids have sur- gical scars, no one is embarrassed—they even compare scars! The day before camp started, Jeannie fell from a tree, breaking her collarbone. She was undaunted and still went to camp. By the next year, Jeannie’s health had begun to decline. Research advances offered new hope, and Jeannie’s cardiologist proposed a heart transplant. Her parents were afraid—but not Jeannie. On the night before she was set to go back to camp, the call came. A heart was available. Jeannie missed camp that year but got her new heart. Jeannie had severe complications after her transplant. She spent thirteen of the next thirty-six months in the hospital. Between hospital stays, she lived the fullest life she could, singing on stage in high school, acting with a performing arts group, going to two homecoming dances, and traveling. When she was 17, Jeannie got very sick and again went to the hospi- tal. While she was there, she wrote a short note about the fun she’d had at camp: making friends, doing crafts, hearing silly jokes, and singing a song that ended like this: When the bugs bite, when the bees sting, when I’m feeling sad, I simply remember my Boggy Creek things, and then I don’t feel so bad.آیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
