In Treating Athletes, Is Trainer’s Sex an Issue? Sometimes It Is

This is the VOA Special English Education Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com | http://facebook.com/voalearningenglish

One job of an athletic trainer is to treat injured athletes. But does it make a difference if the trainer is male or female? Sometimes, yes , if an injury or condition is a “male problem” or a “female problem.” Then athletes say they are more likely to want treatment by someone of their own sex. But what about a problem that could affect either sex, like a dislocated shoulder? Researchers at North Carolina State University asked male football players at two American colleges. The study found that those players would still probably choose a male trainer — unless the injury made them feel depressed. Then they would most likely choose a female trainer. The researchers offer two possible explanations. They say football players might be seen as “weak” if they talk about their depression with a male trainer. Also, over half the players described female trainers with words like “caring,” “nurturing” and “affectionate.” The researchers say this shows that “gender stereotypes” have influenced the opinions of the players about women. They say the concern is that players might see the training room as not the place even for well-qualified women. The study, led by Heidi Grappendorf, is in the Journal of Athletic Training. Trainers are an important part of an athlete’s life. But an organization based in California is working with coaches to help influence boys to show more respect toward girls and women. Feroz Moideen is director of the Coaching Boys into Men program of the Family Violence Prevention Fund. He says the nonprofit organization works with police, judges, teachers and coaches. He says the group used a million-and-a-half-dollar donation from the Nike Foundation to expand the program to cricket players in India. He said they used the power of cricket coaches to educate boys about healthy and respectful behavior toward women and girls. Written materials are also being provided to other countries through UNICEF, the United Nations children’s and educational agency.Brian O’Connor of the Family Violence Prevention Fund says young men need guidelines in how to treat young women — in person or online.He says problems include unwanted or excessive text messaging, or breaking into someone’s Facebook account. He says this digital dating abuse has increased through technology.And that’s the VOA Special English Education Report.

Senioridade E Desenvolvimento De Talentos

INTRODUÇÃO:

O termo Senioridade, apenas recentemente começou a freqüentar o vocabulário do círculo de especialistas e executivos da área de Recursos Humanos.

Diversamente do que muitos acreditam, a Senioridade não está de maneira alguma, coligada a idade do profissional; e tampouco a sua condição de tempo em determinado cargo.

A Senioridade, nos dias atuais, define alguém com bagagem e experiências de vida, suficientes a ter uma visão diversificada, especialista e profunda dos diversos assuntos e situações que envolvem as corporações.

Por estas razões, confere ao seu titular, a capacidade privilegiada de buscar e formar talentos e competências; sejam voltadas á sua própria carreira, sejam elas direcionadas aos jovens profissionais.

O MERCADO DE TRABALHO AMADURECIDO:

O aumento da expectativa de vida humana, graças aos inumeráveis avanços na área da ciência, da medicina, da farmacologia; trouxeram por extensão a preservação dos profissionais por mais tempo em suas atividades laborais e, por isso mesmo, uma maturidade na formação de executivos e na sua atuação.

Passados os enganos de épocas recentes, em que a senioridade era confundida com obsolescência e incapacidade profissionais, o conhecimento especializado acumulado durante os anos de trabalho, passou por uma valorização drástica, e o conceito de patrimônio humano tomou viés de força estratégica nas empresas.

TALENTOS: O DIFERENCIAL:

Na antiguidade, talento, representava uma unidade, uma medida de valor.

Com o passar dos séculos, diversas outras interpretações foram dadas á palavra, porém sempre ligadas a algo valioso e raro.

A velocidade do mundo das informações, tornou o conhecimento tecnológico, fator onipresente em todo o mundo empresarial, e como tal, nivela em um mesmo patamar toda e qualquer empresa.

O diferencial fundamental, que muitas vezes determina o fracasso ou o sucesso de um empreendimento, de uma empreitada, de um investimento, reside nos talentos e nas competências que seus trabalhadores detém.

A globalização, portanto, lançou a todos em uma luta renhida pelos mercados; provando a cada dia a competência, a eficiência, a eficácia, de produtos, processos, serviços; em um cenário competitivo, cujos talentos que a empresa possui, constituem-se a única arma válida para vencer e obter o sucesso.

DESENVOLVENDO TALENTOS:

Não podemos esquecer a natureza dos talentos no contexto humano, e a natureza dos mesmos em relação ao seu desenvolvimento pelas pessoas.

Os talentos são inatos aos indivíduos, mas também podem ser adquiridos na vida deles.

Os talentos inatos, expressam-se no comportamento individual, durante o desenvolvimento de cada ser humano; os talentos adquiridos, podem ser advindos do aprendizado de técnicas, treinamentos, observações e demais atividades intelectuais.

Cumpre observar que quaisquer que sejam as naturezas dos talentos (natos ou adquiridos) são todos dependentes de aperfeiçoamento, interesse no aprendizado, quebra de paradigmas, atualização constante; sem o que tais talentos tornam-se incipientes em si mesmos.

O desenvolvimento dos talentos, tem seu início no núcleo familiar, expande-se no ambiente escolar e acadêmico e tem seu aprimoramento no meio profissional.

SENIORIDADE E DESENVOLVIMENTO DE TALENTOS

Conforme observamos, o processo de capacitação dos talentos, acompanha o ser humano durante toda a sua vida.

A senioridade profissional, sujeita-se a esta necessidade como toda atividade dentro do mundo corporativo; e a sua subestimação pode colocar o profissional numa condição de obsolescência funcional, independente da sua temporalidade na empresa, ou do seu conhecimento cristalizado.

Da mesma forma que o trainee, deve o sênior buscar o aperfeiçoamento de suas competências e o desenvolvimento de seus talentos de maneira comprometida e metódica.

A limitação de seu aprimoramento apenas ao universo corporativo que atua, pode lhe custar a condição de uma visão mais crítica e enriquecida dos mecanismos e da dinâmica dos mercados; fazendo-se mister assim o conhecimento pluralizado e diversificado.

OS NOVOS HORIZONTES:

A senioridade, como já foi observado, não tem necessariamente estar afeta a condições como idade ou tempo de exercício do cargo pelo profissional.

Ela advém, marcantemente, pelo acumulo de bagagem de conhecimentos e experiências que estes profissionais, amealharam durante a vida profissional, e portanto traduzem-se em uma capacitação diferenciada, dos mesmos, face aos desafios do mercado.

Esta condição, tem a particularidade de poder conduzir o executivo, a outras formas de exercitar seus talentos e competências; não mais se restringindo a uma corporação específica;mas permitindo que seu trabalho seja requerido e utilizado por vários entes empresariais.

Assim temos os Consultores,  que atuam de maneira autônoma e independente para diversas empresas e em diversos mercados, permitindo uma pluralidade de clientes atendidos por um mesmo especialista.

Atividades como “mentoring” ou “coaching” são exemplos também, da diversificação das atividades seniores, nos mais diversos segmentos.

Mas cumpre observar que todos estes exemplos, só são viabilizados, dentro da ação contínua de atualização e aperfeiçoamento dos talentos do profissional que os exercita, e cujo comprometimento volta-se para os aspectos qualitativos dos seus conhecimentos e não apenas para o quantitativo das atividades que participa.

TRANSFORMANDO PESSOAS:

O mercado de trabalho atual, caracteriza-se essencialmente pelo alto padrão que exige de seus contratados.

As corporações, cada vez mais se conscientizam que a chave de seu sucesso, reside no potencial de talentos humanos que abrigam em seus quadros, e por isso mesmo, buscam tais capacidades, de maneira obsessiva.

O profissional sênior, pode ser uma arma estratégica de extrema validade em situações de alta concorrência como as que se apresentam atualmente; pois podem identificar, desenvolver e formar pessoas dotadas de talentos diferenciados.

Graças a sua experiência e maturidade no ambiente que atuam, podem orientar e treinar estes novos talentos de forma que obtenham maior flexibilidade, olhar crítico, proatividade e entusiasmo por parte de suas equipes, e que farão o sucesso das empresas que atuam.

Na condição de multiplicadores deste conhecimento, trazem para dentro da corporação as pessoas com as características que ela necessita, e propiciam a retenção destes valores e talentos, formando o patrimônio intelectual das mesmas.

CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS:

O Mercado de Trabalho, determinou um novo paradigma para os profissionais modernos: A Empregabilidade.

A Empregabilidade, no entanto, não é uma competência instantânea; disponível para a compra, ou permitida a todos que a pleiteiam. Trata-se da resultante de diversos fatores como: Comprometimento com o aprendizado,  Busca incessante da atualização, Postura crítica em relação ás idéias e pensamentos dogmatizados, e principalmente Dedicação e Esforço ao auto aprimoramento, acreditando que este caminho conduz a melhoria do Homem, enquanto profissional e enquanto Ser Humano.

A Senioridade pode ser indicativo deste tipo de colaborador, e pode também, capacitá-lo a treinar outros talentos nesta linha de pensamento reproduzindo em escala a sua sabedoria profissional.

Mas a realização destas premissas, só será possível, na medida em que os conceitos de empresa de aprendizado constante e profissional comprometido, possam se mesclar neste único e principal objetivo: o desenvolvimento dos talentos pelo aprendizado; razão final  determinante da sobrevivência e sucesso de ambos nas atividades que exercem.

Extreme Cash Coaching – a Review of Extreme Cash Coaching

I have been working online for 3 years and have come across and joined several mentoring programs, which almost broke the bank. After reviewing Extreme Cash Coaching, it looks like this is the first internet marketing training program which the part time or newbie home business owner can actually afford.

Reaching a great level of success in anything we do in life, requires that you must first learn how to achieve it. When you learn from the best and invest in yourself, you are more likely to reach a goal or a higher level of success than if you just ‘jump right in’… Which is how most network marketers proceed when they start off.

Spend a few hundred dollars on advertising and your budget is down to perhaps ZERO. And you have NO MORE MONEY to advertise with!

Spend that budget on learning how to market & advertise effectively online, and you’ll reap the rewards. You will use that knowledge over and over again, apply to many marketing campaigns in the future and never have to worry about your ‘budget’ because you’ll know how to generate your own leads for your business.

In Closing, there is live training, calls and webinars which are being held by industry leaders. Also in-depth video tutorial trainings, which will teach the newbie internet marketer exactly where to start and how to generate leads online using:

1. Video
2. Articles
3. Social Networking Sites
4. Blogs
5. Press Releases
6. Pay Per Click and more..

Effective online marketing strategies, lead generation and advertising is key to your success in your home business. If you aren’t generating a fresh supply of quality leads, which haven’t cost you ‘the earth’… Then all you probably have is a very expensive hobby.

Negative or Positive Correlations

Negative or Positive Correlations

Sunday, January 11, 2009

By dodjit

Since the first interest rate reduction in the U.S, central banks have been battling ongoing problems, trying to stay ahead, in order to prevent further economic blows. From the U.S, economic problems quickly spread throughout the globe, making investors realize that today’s relationships between global economic markets are much stronger than previously thought. Expectations of a stock market collapse in the U.S during 2007 led to a 40% drop on the U.S major indices while other major indices across the globe followed almost instantly, with the same type of price movement. On the currency market, similar price movements were also experienced as central banks simultaneously made their rates less appealing, forcing investors to seek alternative routes; ones that were yielding much higher returns. Taking a walk down history lane, one can see that correlations between various securities are a quite common, especially as officials take equal measures to try to control their economies.
Positive correlations can often be seen during stable markets as monetary tightening is used to control expanding economies (a time when securities tend to correlate and rise), while monetary easing is implemented to control a rapid contraction.
A major question that arises is what happens to those positive correlations on various securities when the markets are in turmoil and central banks are not taking equal measures. Do those securities lose their positive correlations?
Over the years, the European Central Bank and the Bank of England have stuck to a firm policy, keeping their central rates high against fellow banks. Their high yielding rates gave their currencies the upper edge against counterparts like the U.S, allowing their domestic currencies to strengthen against the U.S Dollar.
The 2008 recession sent the markets into mayhem, forcing rapid movements on the currency market. Strong currencies like the Euro and Pound dropped against their counterparts while a weak Yen surged. Taking a glance at the price chart below, one can see the positive correlation between the Euro and the Pound. Both outperformed up until the end of 2007 and both fell due to the economic situation throughout 2008.
.

Could that positive correlation now be weakening due to central banks’ different stances? Have we already witnessed a similar situation in the past?
From the end of 2007 throughout the beginning of 2008, the Euro continued higher while the Pound began to drop in value (negative correlation). Euro strength was caused by the ECB’s adamant stance to maintain a high interest rate, to control ongoing inflation. On the chart below, one can see that even though the Pound managed to hold on to its strength, the Euro outperformed it, weakening the correlation between the two. Only during July 2008 did the two regain their positive correlation, dropping against the U.S Dollar.

While both economies have been dealing with contraction, deflationary pressures and high unemployment, the Bank of England has engaged in this economic battle using much more drastic measures. The ECB on the other hand, has been reluctant to follow suit, thinking twice before each rate cut. Even though the Euro-zone is in a massive slow-down, according to recent economic data, the U.S and England are still situated in more severe situation. In England, economic growth has gone down the drain, while the financial system is on the verge of a collapse. The Bank of England has engaged in massive rate cuts, recently reducing their central rate to its lowest level since the bank was founded in 1694. Low rates throughout 2008 made the Pound one of the worst performing currencies.
By taking a glance at the following chart one can see that the correlation between the two has recently weakened. The End of year rally in the Euro caused by expectations that the ECB could refrain from cutting interest rate in January, now seems to be wearing off, and will surely be tested this up coming week. Dealing with problems in numerous economies and Germany showing unemployment shy off of 9%, the ECB might have no alternative other than to change its adamant policy taking similar actions to the BOE’s. Although the markets are still facing many risks, with expectations of a global recovery throughout 2009 and the Bank of England leading the race in rate cuts, could England outperform while others try to catch up? On the currency market, will the Pound outperform the Euro this time round, due to the BOE’s pro-activity?

Technical Charts
GBP/USD- After forming a triple bottom on a daily chart, current indicators are showing divergence patterns. As this pair is still trading within a secondary bearish trend, trend lines and support & resistance should be used for confirmation of a change in direction. A break of lower trend line support, could lead the price to 2001’s lows.

EUR/USD- After presenting an end of year rally, the Euro found resistance around Fibonacci 32.8%. Taking a look at the monthly chart one can see that the price pattern has now tested a monthly trend line. This week’s rate decision will set the tone for further price movement.
