This is just yet another phase of the baloney that is CRM. It used to be that advertising extolled the virtues, real or otherwise, of the product. "Dr. Wizardo's Patented Snake Oil cures gout, sciatica, acne, shingles, ....". Whatever I was suffering from, the Snake Oil would cure it. But now the marketers want to know whether I have gout, sciatica, acne, or shingles. Which may help them to sell to me. Great. One sale. What they really need to do is to focus on the product, and sell something which appeals to several tens of millions of people, not just something tailored to one consumer.
Of course, that would require having a product which people actually need or want.
Psychographics is not new...I remember sitting in Matt Reese's office (the father of political consulting who in 1960, came to national prominence when he organized the volunteer campaign on behalf of Sen. John F. Kennedy in West Virginia's Democratic presidential primary. As you may recall those few votes tipped the election against what would have been an earlier President Nixon). It was the early 80's when we met and talked about psychographics and how he was introducing it into his practice. The only difference between what we spoke about then and what you allude to in this article is that back then we were relegated to measuring psyches by geographically bound zip codes -- now of course we seek to capture the same human essence via digital, fluid narrative topic streams. But the overall problem remains for marketers - how to be relevant. And while you may know my predisposition to a purchase intent, increasingly the message must be framed in a narrative I can digest easily -- hopefully within the context of something I am already reading, or watching, or listening to. That is why I founded the Keevan Group - we leverage news and pop-culture narratives in ways that lend a dynamic focus to consumer conversions. Because no matter how much you think you may know me, and how many psychographics you layer upon my intentions, unless your messages resonates within the context of a familiar narrative, you are a stranger seeking intimacy -- and that is something most of us reject. http://www.keevangroup.com
'IN AMERICA alone, people spent $170 billion on "direct marketing"...'
Direct marketers are hardly what one would call "people". They are a plague, a virus, lower than pond scum. Attention should be directed to how to eradicate the practice, not how to refine it.
Anyone spotted yet that applying 21st Century technology to a 19th Century business model is totally crazy? Advertising arose because the cost of one-to-one transactions was, for most products and services, too high. But today that is not true at all. What we need is a totally different model to connect purchasers with sellers at the moment of need, not more clever ways to spam people. Whoever figures this out and implements it will make an enormous fortune.
Utterly repulsive. This is precisely why I have (a) refused to sign up for Twitter; (b) kept all my social-media settings at maximum for privacy in all dimensions; (c) use "duckduckgo.com" instead of Google; (d) keep social media apps off my smart phone and buy e-books directly from my e-reader (no more Amazon purchases from my computer or my smart phone); patronize small local family-owned businesses whenever possible and avoid chains and franchises like the plague.
This is great news. With any luck all the direct marketing foolishness will be aimed at twitter users and the rest of us will be left alone.
What if I don't like Coke or Pepsi? What does that make me ?...
Seriously it sounds like yet another good reason not to be on Twitter.
People who Tweet public comments to random strangers and have their profile available, are probably by definition:
upper strata of Extroverts.
The Introverts are not on Twitter and you will not hear a Tweet or peep from them.
And you may be failing to address a huge fraction of the market.
The Introverts and Paranoids, are not using social media.
The lines you quote from the article in your comment are truly a gross misrepresentation of what "modern psychology" has delved into in terms of trying to understand the human personality.
I have given up on TE on their science writers when they write anything on psychology. It is like me writing a piece on Quantum Physics knowing zero about it.
It is a good thing you caught what you caught. That makes you a good reader. Don't pay attention much to that bit. Its insufficency renders that portion of the article totally useless.
If you have the interest, google MMPI and Millon. Both will give you more information relevant to the subject. Obviously, the information there is nowhere near exhaustive.
After reading this article, I truly am in awe of marketing people. Though they seem to do a poor job of reaching customers (165 billion dollars out of 170 wasted each year), clearly they are doing a sterling job in marketing their services to the companies who pay for all this junk mail, and who risk the wrath of their customers into the bargain. I can't help but wonder how many other departments in large organisations would get away with this sort of performance in the long run...
Again, I agree.
I seldom use the word "idiot" to describe the people in any trade. But I'd use it here. Direct marketers are idiots. This article, which explains what they do, says it all. As to why this practice is still in place. I have no idea. I guess "the people" did succeed to convince "other people" they are worth something. That says something - I guess.
Curious to think, one day we might pine for the day when only the walls had ears.
The BS advertising be shoveled at me by the multitudes
of these social interactive sites Google, Twitter etc. etc.) is not sustainable.
My anger quotient goes up by the day as they dig deeper
into may personal activities, actions and my life.
It could become a commercial police state.
Cool. It's called Adsense. Google rolled it out ages ago. Thanks for playing. Next?
I tweet about natural catastrophes and being prepared for them. Would love to know what they get out of my tweets!
Those five dimensions are obviously scales, ranging from introvert to extrovert, from agreeable to disagreeable, etc. On top of that nobody says these are the only dimensions. They just seem to be agreed upon to be the best ones to indeed simplify a very complex matter such as personalities.
Secondly this kind of analysis discovers correlations, no if-then causal relations. Positive people tend to use more positive words and vice versa. That does't mean positive people never use negative ones.
I would have posted a pithy, insightful comment but I am required to fill out a form explaining who I am so my data can be added to yet another database.
I would urge everyone to contain the urge to mouth off in this ridiculous circus.
Monitoring word usage might arguably be useful in putting people into five distinct categories, but the moment you try to extend the number of categories, your results are going to become meaningless.
And let's be honest, no sane company would pay if you could tell them whether an individual is in one of those five categories. This information is worthless.
It could make sense to link word usage to needs or values. But there are so many different needs and values that there is a spurious correlation at best between one's word usage and one's needs/values.
Even though I'm not a psychologist, I know that there is a much more nuanced model of personalities called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which assesses personality on four dimensions. That gives a total of 16 personality types. One might wonder why Yarnoki didn't use this obviously superior personality categorization in his research. And the reason is probably that no relationship can be found between word usage and so many personality categories because there is way too many categories of personalities for this to make sense.
I have more than one Twitter account. I wonder how they'd parse together my several streams, which respectively use vocabulary and tone relative to the focus area?
Or the Smarts. Many people do not lower their intelligence or guard to chit chat/reveal personal information/post pictures in the permanent, insecure and very public global square. It is a mystery why anyone would be so stupid as to voluntarily run nude through this global public square in order to enrich a million corporations, be it via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, whathaveyou.
Anyone with MBA 101 skills has taken a course in marketing/data mining-analytics and knows how dangerously close to the bone all of this is in permanently breaching individual privacy in pursuit of greed. There are ways to protect oneself. Sad that we all need to.

The Tunnel movie review: a blast of eerie innovation
Director Carlo Ledesma's subterranean spook-fest The Tunnel is an underground film in a literal sense — it is largely based in dilapidated tunnels and bunkers below metropolitan Sydney — and an above the ground film in a sense the local industry has never seen before.
The Tunnel's unprecedented distribution strategy, in which it officially "opened" last week not in a cinema or a DVD shop but online and available for free to download from BitTorrent websites, could prove a game changer in an industry that has historically viewed online platforms in general and torrents in particular with fear and contempt.
In 2009 an alliance of Hollywood bigwigs including Sony Pictures and Warner Bros successfully prosecuted four Swedes behind the world's most popular torrent site, The Pirate Bay, for $3.6 million in damages and a year a piece in prison. Just like the "end" of Napster, the case did virtually nothing to curb online pirating, the proverbial fart in a hurricane. There are countless websites to download torrents and tellingly, even The Pirate Bay is still alive and well and chocked to the gills with warez.
Through what the makers of The Tunnel have dubbed 'The $135k Project', the small team behind this shmick faux doco are boldly attempting to turn the problem into the solution. Pushed along by executive producer Andrew Denton, audiences are encouraged to download and share the film and — if they like it — buy a frame or a set of frames to support it. Each frame costs $1.
A deal was brokered with BitTorrent, which agreed to display a prominent link to the film to all new members downloading torrent software, estimated to be around 450,000 a day. In the first five days of The Tunnel's internet release it generated over 75,000 downloads. Comparatively, the Australian film Snowtown opened on 16 screens across the country averaging 3-4 sessions a day. The difference, of course, is that people forked over 20 bucks a pop to see it.
At the time of writing less than 40,000 of the target 135,000 frames for The Tunnel have been purchased, the vast majority bought prior to release. It will be a slow burn before it becomes clear whether the strategy has worked and production, distribution and marketing wings of industry giants will be looking on with interest.
But hoopla about snazzy new distribution techniques means next to nada if the end result is bum numbing bunkum. Horror hooters and thrill seekers can rest assured that The Tunnel is the opposite — a visceral horror-umentary into sewers of cinematic spookiness that will infect even hardened genre aficionados with a serious case of the heebie-jeebies.
The film follows a team of four, led by investigative TV journalist Natasha Warner, who mount an unofficial exploration of abandoned tunnels underneath Sydney's St James Train Station.
The NSW government unexpectedly scrapped plans to utilise the water in the tunnels and Warner wants to how why; her reputation as a journo hinges on it. There are urban myths floating around about something funny going on below – not in the water per se but in the dark decrepit arteries underneath the daily stream of commuters. The team find and interview a homeless man who says he's lived there, and seen some things. It does not go smoothly.
Not long after they begin exploring the tunnels and searching for a story, well, as the marketing materials say – the story comes to them.
Taking the most primitive cues from The Blair Watch Project, the narrative is presented through a concoction of camcorder, security, interview and news footage. There's a splash of Werner Herzog's Grizzly Man (2005) in a scene in which we watch one of the subjects don a pair of headphones and listen to a shocking audio recording for the first time. There's a touch of Lake Mungo (2008), in that two of the subjects – Warner and her camera man Steve Miller – give sombre-faced direct to camera interviews which anchor the film. And there are other clever "it's real, man" touches: a Youtube clip; a news announcement from Peter Overington; a glimpse of Julia Gillard at a press conference.
The visual structure of The Tunnel dances between these framing devices and doesn't carry the annoying wooziness of The Blair Witch Project, while still capitalising on the atmospheric benefits of flickering lights, wobbly handheld cams and well placed techno "glitches".
There are a couple of blips in the realism early on; they're small ones but in a film like this in which airtight verisimilitude is crucial, even the smallest pricks can disproportionately resonant. But at the heart of The Tunnel lies four unnervingly convincing performances, particularly from the two lead actors. They certainly needed to be — these are the characters who will shriek and squeal, collapse into a tears of regret and, most importantly, run, scramble and fight for their lives.
When the team go deeper and deeper into the tunnel net3work and slowly, along with the audience, comprehend the horrors that lie down there, Ledesma and co generate the dividends of the film's clever multi-faceted ultra mod set-up. The scares are visceral, delivered with unnerving quickness, snubbing the horror genre's penchant for cheap thrills provoked through overuse of fake-outs and cacophonous blasts of RAAAA! on the soundtrack. The Tunnel is smarter, scarier and edgier than that. It makes Paranormal Activity look like the tea cup ride at Disney Land.
Ledesma and co. have created a rare and exciting feature, inside and out. It has the potential to become both a classic cult film and an industry game changer, and although during these uncertain days the producers may be going to bed at night sweating bullets these are exciting times. Whichever way the pennies fall, whichever way the budget ledgers fill out, this much is for sure: The Tunnel is bold, gutsy and potentially ground-breaking.

I hope people will support those experimenting with different distribution models, like this one.

You don't really understand how bittorrent works, do you?

What makes you say that, Dan? Surely that question deserves some context.
4Posted May 27, 2011 at 9:44 am | Permalink
Interesting model, although it's hard to see the potential for this to generate anywhere near the revenues of 'traditional' distribution channels.
I heard a notion the other day somewhere that the monetisation pathway in the future will be much more about the content. Distribution via P2P etc, with little to no ads (since they get skipped anyway) but with product endorsements integrated much more deeply in the content, i.e. product placement. That was more relevant to TV rather than movies but I'm sure a similiar arguement applies. I'm skeptical that consumers would cop that, but we'll see.
@Dan, I'm not sure what you mean? I'm a torrent user (of completely legal content of course!) and I can't see any errors or lack of understanding of the concept in this article??
5Posted May 27, 2011 at 12:07 pm | Permalink
It looks like Dan is under the impression that Luke thinks $1 micropayments are made when the .torrent is downloaded. Perhaps he should have read the whole article.
I'm intrigued by this – am downloading the movie now and will be happy to by a frame(s) and see where this goes.
As for monetising, the distributor can "lock in" their hoped-for revenue by setting the cost per frame. That is, "The $135k Project" (presumably there are 135k frames?) would be "The $270k Project" by asking for $2/frame. That's a pretty limiting business model but an interesting one worth pursuing as experiment, to be sure.
6Posted May 27, 2011 at 12:46 pm | Permalink
Brilliant movie, and I'm considering buying a few frames to support both it and the business model.
I have to say, though, the idea of selling frames really is quite limiting – I think it'll work out for some kinds of projects, and if it makes movies like this possible I think it's definitely worth trying, but it frames (hah) the funding within a limited total amount. Some of the other approaches that have been tried (like "pay what you think it's worth to you") seem like they'd be open to much more profit, though they also don't provide a frame for budgeting a project.
Anyway, it really was a brilliant movie, worth at least one night of disturbed sleep so far (even with a night light

As someone who almost exclusively watches illegal downloads of television and movies it is nice that someone in the movie making business is trying to work with the pirates. Given that I didn't like this movie much, and I really disagree with your suggestion that the two main characters were convincing. I felt as though the dialogue was charicatured, the premise faulty and there wasn't enough exposure or explanation of whatever the hell was pestering them down in the tunnels. At no stage can i recall someone even alluding to the origins or nature of what was hunting them.

Dallas/Fort Worth Airport plans to increase parking rates at its terminal and remote lots as part of its budget for 2014.At the airport's finance committee meeting Tuesday, Chief Executive Jeff Fegan presented the $656.3 million budget, which included the parking increases. Generating more revenue from parking and concessions is part of the airport's plan to help finance its $2 billion terminal renovation project.Fegan said the airport expects 2 percent growth in passengers, to a record 61.2 million in fiscal 2014, and a record number of international flights. The pending merger between US Airways and American Airlines will also result in positive growth, he said. DFW Airport expects parking rate increases to generate an additional $3.7 million in revenue.The airport staff proposed raising remote parking lot fees by $1, to $9 a day, and increasing the fee for vehicles at the airport for up to 30 minutes from $1 to $2. People who are picking up passengers and take 31 minutes to two hours will pay $3, up from $2.However, TollTag rates for those quick stops will remain unchanged. "The goal is to convert to more TollTag usage by customers," airport Chief Financial Officer Chris Poinsatte said.The airport expects its new parking control system, which has more automated entry and exit lanes and fewer booth attendants for cash payments, to go live Aug. 26. If the full board approves the budget Thursday, the parking increases will take effect Oct. 1, the first day of the airport's fiscal year.DFW also expects to generate an extra $1.7 million from an addition to its Express parking and an extra $5.2 million from concession revenue, since new food vendors in the renovated portion of Terminal A will be in operation for a full year.The $656.3 million budget, which includes $5 million for a contingency fund, is only slightly higher than the current $650.1 million budget outlook for 2013. The airport expects revenue from nonairline sources to grow 4.7 percent to $91.8 million.Costs to airlines will also rise $19.4 million, mainly to help pay for the debt service related to the renovations of Terminal A, B, C and E. Landing fees, however, will shrink to $2.82 per l,000 pounds of maximum gross landing weight. In the current fiscal year, landing fees averaged $2.97.Operating expenses are forecast to increase 2.4 percent to $368.8 million in the fiscal 2014 budget. The airport's gross debt service is 2.6 percent lower at $282.5 million, thanks to refinancing and lower interest rates.

Update on Syntagma Photographic
A few folk have kindly enquired about our new offshoot Syntagma Photographic (pun intended) -- announced recently. Here's a short update.
Image by Syntagma PhotographicWe're still building a professional photo studio, which is taking much longer than estimated -- what doesn't? We're having to learn new techniques and technology as we go along. So the professional aspects of the enterprise are currently lagging behind our enthusiasm for it. That doesn't mean we are bone idle though. We've developed a slightly quirky style putting target objects into unusual settings. You can see a couple of test shots over at Sideways Health, a site which has the advantage of being object and product-rich so fairly easy to shoot for. They are not technically perfect yet, but the signature style is coming along. We should be ready for business by early autumn, once we have a portfolio of high definition shots to put on our new website -- Syntagma Photographic. Example: Sinusitis -- a Sideways treatment

A little about me...
My passions are paddling (canoe and kayak), exploring, walking and talking, dinner at home, adventure, and learning new things about the world and ideas. I love to take care of my house and my garden. I am very devoted to the man I choose and who chooses me. I am very romantic yet strongly independent. I am curious, real, kind, and have a big heart.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am very read for a relationship with an adventurous learner, seeker, explorer, and gardener, a man devoted to friends and family and making the world a better place, outdoorsy and outgoing...would love to travel together...or some combination of the above!
I'd just like to add...
What are we waiting for? I admit, i am looking for a relationship right here at home in Hawaii, on the Big Island. It might work if you are somewhere else but willing to live here half the year or so. Otherwise, Big island adventurers, I'd love to hear from you!

Starting Friday, Pamela Gaard will exhibit her work at a solo show at Traffic Zone Center for Visual Art. Reflecting changing Minnesota populations (according to Gaard, the state is now home to 75,000 Somalis), her body of work intermingles portraits of friends and colleagues, as well as elders from the Somali community. The title, "Shalom/Nabad," means "peace" in Hebrew and Somali, and both words are also used as greetings. A board member at the Somali Artifact and Cultural Museum, Gaard has worked almost exclusively with the East African community over the last six years. In her artist statement, Gaard writes that she has used interpreters while sketching and photographing elders, later finishing the pieces in her studio. "These paintings would not be possible without the help of many scholars, teachers, colleagues, and friends in the community," she writes. A Jewish woman and a second-generation American, Gaard has blogged about the similarities she sees between the East African elders and her own Russian and Turkish grandparents. There will be a public reception from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Friday, January 31. (Pictured: Portrait of Khadra)
Mondays-Fridays, 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Starts: Jan. 31. Continues through March 7, 2014

A Piece of My Life Lyrics - Caliban
I feel breathe, live alone with my love,
I gave it to you, I should have known,
reality will never be a dream!
in my dreams I walk around,
in the darkness of my ashes,
always following your light,
I feel no fear, cause your fire gives me safety
my fire burns deep and ardent,
but I radiate just coldness and hopeless
helplessness, awkward,
naive like a child
everyday I fell reality, the reflection of the wide void
I don't want to live, just want dream!
(my fire burns deep and ardent)
come on and play with me.

Updated: September 24, 2012 6:25AM
The comparisons to Carlos Zambrano's anger-management issues hit the Chicago airwaves in January almost as soon as the news broke that the Cubs had acquired the fiery Matt Garza.
But not so fast on those unfair comparisons, says Cubs first baseman Carlos Pena, Garza's teammate with the Tampa Bay Rays the last three seasons.
''I don't know what issues Carlos has. I know he is very intense as well,'' Pena said. ''But the intensity we're talking about here with Matt is controlling himself as far as wanting to be so, so, so good. To be able to step back and allow himself some room for error and allow himself to not be so hard on himself.
''It is his desire to just absolutely beat down the other team, and he goes out there with that desire every single day. Fans are going to love him because of that. And obviously he wants the best results, and he knows that for him to achieve that, he's going to have to become the master of himself first.''
One thing Pena knows from his time around Garza, who won 15 games and pitched a no-hitter last year: ''He's in an awesome place. And I don't think we've seen the best of him yet.''
Garza makes his debut with the Cubs today.
Mound time
Manager Mike Quade will try to maintain regular work for the back end of the bullpen to help the relievers stay sharp.
''I don't like to see guys go three days without work,'' Quade said. ''[Closer Carlos] Marmol needs to work. He worked back-to-back only once in spring training.''
Quade planned even before Saturday to use lefty Sean Marshall because Marshall hadn't pitched in four days.
Marshall worked the eighth and got the victory after Kerry Wood also debuted in the seventh for the injured Carlos Zambrano. Marmol struck out the side in the ninth for the save.
The sun also rises
Pena wouldn't own up to penning the inspirational saying written on the locker-room whiteboard, but the message had his endorsement.
''I like it,'' Pena said of the saying to focus on the rising sun, not the setting sun, and not on the past or future, but the present.
''Be able to turn the page,'' Pena said. ''I'm talking about detaching from the past and future and focus on the now. If you try to carry baggage from the past or look at things too far in the future, you're absent for the moment.''
Pena said part of his ''now'' is enjoying Wrigley Field.
''This place is unbelievable,'' he said. ''Even driving to Wrigley Field, I look to my right and see the lake, and I can only imagine when it gets warm and the trees blossom. It's a great environment and atmosphere to play at Wrigley. I feel like a kid. This is definitely a special place.''
Pena even likes the small clubhouse: ''It's way better than people make it out to be. It brings us together. It's cozy.''

The "Tail will Wag the Dog" close the gun show loophole. They will have to have National Registration to enforce the GSL Ban. The Dems and the National Media are drunk on their 2 term power.
They are now going to look at a National Law that will ban concealed carry in the individual states. No the SCOTUS decisions means nothing to them. This is a move to change America and not just gun laws.
Dead Bears, the only good kind.
Yes OrangeJ Bob Beackle was on Fox News today. He said that concealed weapons laws were on the table. Bob is speaking in Democrat and that means a Fedreal Law over state laws to control CCW. I expect OBama to try an Interstate Commerce ruling to control CCW in interstate transportation.
**** the Federal Government. Elected officials are supposed to serve the people. These Communists are only out to push their agenda, which is eerily similar to the Nazi Germany pre-WW-II. Seriously look at Germany pre-WWII. This country is headed in the exact same direction.
If guns kill people, mine are defective.
There certaily is a "loop hole". I do a lot of gun shows and see people shopping that I would never sell a gun to. It is the unethical dealers and private persons who are greedy for money that deal with the people who should never have guns.
"Regardless of whether justified of not, you will feel sad about killing another human being. It is better to be sad than to be room temperature." - Joe B Fricks.
01 FFL, GOFFA, NRA, GOA, IAVA, VFW, ABATE of Iowa D15.
The Gun Show Loop Hole is the open door to National Gun Registration. The Loop Hole Law will be meaningless without a list of all guns and who owns them.
The left knows very well what they are doing. Why would a gun owner and supporter of the 2nd A walk around gun shows deciding who should have a gun? I walk around looking for good buys in firearms.

It's been a long time since you posted these pics of your art studio. But I am only now at a point where I'm having to finally organize a "special space" for my art and my supplies, and while doing some internet research, checking out what others do and how I might make their ideas work for me, I came across your blog.
Here is my question: in the first picture, the one with the word ART, I see these hanging buckets; I have seen them used by others .. but darn if I have seen them anywhere in stores! Can you tell me, please, who makes them and where you got them - maybe I could purchase them over the internet as I live in a very small town.
I would appreciate a quick answer - and many thanks.

Vickie Newton is no bubble-headed bleached blonde. But if she ever decides to ditch Larry Conners as co-anchor of KMOV-TV (Channel 4)'s evening newscast, she could star in one of Herbal Essence's erotic shampoo commercials. Vickie's sleek, black hair is gorgeous, bouncy and sexy. Her thick locks frame her elegant face then playfully flip upward on her shoulders. Vickie's got the kind of hair that commands attention, which is a good thing, given that Larry's monotone voice has been known to knock viewers into a coma. No wonder Vickie won an Emmy in 2003. With hair like that, she might win the Nobel Prize.

Tech firm CEOs more restrained than most at limiting personal pay
If you want to see the greatest disparity between the average worker and the CEO's pay packet, America is the place to be. But while the heads of many blue-chip US firms cash in more than most, the country's technology bosses are more abstemious. Since 2010, the Securities and Exchange Commission has required publicly-traded …
lies, damn lies and ...
Comparing the CEO against the average of their staff is meaningless because the average salary in a tech company is way higher than the general average.
Wake me when you've compared tech CEO packages (including equity) against the US median salary.
Re: lies, damn lies and ...
I don't think you understand what the word "meaningless" means. The ratio of CEO pay to the pay of the average worker in a given company is obviously different from the comparison to average worker pay in general, but it can certainly be argued that the ratio within a company is a useful metric of pay distribution.
Re: lies, damn lies and ...
I meant meaningless in the context of the article. Didn't think that needed saying out loud but ...
It occurs to me it would be a reasonable idea to set politicians pay as a sliding multiplier of the average wage. They get scored (by an actual in.dependant panel) on criteria such as employment rates, government efficency, crime rates etc to give a multiplier, then x against the mean \ median wage for the country. That way their share our fortunes or otherwise and are rewarded based on their performance.
Ellison deserves it
I am no fan of Oracle, and Ellison may be a class-A jerk, but I have no problem with him, or Ballmer, or their ilk earning megabucks. Love 'em or loath them, these guys stuck with their business from the start, and paid their dues.
I do have a problem with the majority of CEOs who get the nod because of the old boy network and proceed to slurp up vast sums of money whilst not materially changing their organization's fortunes, that of their workers or the world by one iota.
Re: Ellison deserves it
That's not entirely fair, many of them turn up and insist on stamping their own identity on an already well setup company. They then proceed to screw it up, get paid a fortune to leave and land a choice job elsewhere.
Ratio is understated
You have to keep in mind that most electronics companies like Oracle have outsourced a significant portion of the manpower used to bring their product to market, and therefore artificially have raised the rate of "average worker salary". 30 years ago, it was company badged people who built the thing, manned the phones, and cleaned the toilets. Now all of these have been "outsourced" to low cost regions (China for the manufacturing, India for the call centers) or US based outsourcing firms (janitorial firms, security firms, etc.). So these are no longer "worker salaries" for the company...they are Cost of Good sold, G&A, etc. So figure in the $2K a year line worker, the $6K a year call center person, the $28K a year janitor and see what the ratios are now!

Developing Early Literacy: Assessment and Teaching.
Author: Susan Hill Susan Hill (born February 5, 1942) is a British popular writer of fiction and non fiction. Her novels have been best sellers, and she remains best known for her ghost story The Woman in Black.
Date: 2006
Publisher: Eleanor Curtain
I love this book! Hill provides a balanced, comprehensive and detailed explanation of early literacy development and teaching. She presents background knowledge about all areas of early literacy learning, development and teaching and she outlines a repertoire of useful teaching strategies and activities. It is a wonderful reference for all teachers of early literacy and it will strongly support learning for those training in the field of early childhood education.
Hill begins with a discussion of important principles and contemporary understandings of literacy development and teaching. Oral language and home/family practices, as significant influences on children's literacy learning, are given appropriate emphasis. The early years' literacy program is overviewed and considered in light of the need to scaffold scaffold

It consists of one or more wooden planks and is supported by either a timber or a tubular steel or aluminum frame; bamboo is used in parts of Asia. children's development in the modes and aspects of reading and writing.
Following the foundation chapters is a detailed look at the various components of early years' literacy development and teaching. Hill presents information about storytelling, reading aloud to children and children's literature children's literature, writing whose primary audience is children.
See also children's book illustration. The Beginnings of Children's Literature
The earliest of what came to be regarded as children's literature was first meant for adults. . She is clear in her presentation of the important literacy learning aspects of phonological pho·nol·o·gy
n. pl. pho·nol·o·gies
1. The study of speech sounds in language or a language with reference to their distribution and patterning and to tacit rules governing pronunciation.
2. and phonemic awareness Phonemic Awareness is a subset of phonological awareness in which listeners are able to distinguish phonemes, the smallest units of sound that can differentiate meaning. For example, a listener with phonemic awareness can break the word "Cat" into three separate phonemes: /k/, /a/, and word level work. Within the relevant chapters there is information about development and an abundance of practical teaching activities. The teaching of phonics is given appropriate attention, allowing the reader to understand phonics content, to realise the possible teaching approaches and strategies and to become familiar with different phonics teaching activities.
Early reading is considered in two sections; an overview of the concepts and processes to be developed, and classroom methods and activities for effecting children's reading development.
Importantly, reading comprehension is given significant attention. The information that Hill provides focuses on the interactive nature of reading comprehension and on the strategic nature of reading comprehension. As with other chapters, Hill also ensures there is a rich array of teaching activities.
The developmental nature of writing and the key characteristics of writing stages provide the backdrop to the chapters dedicated to the teaching of early writing. Spelling is dealt with separately; background information about spelling development and strategies for supporting young spellers is clearly presented. Knowledge around text types is also presented separately, but with reference to both reading and writing. Multiliteracies specific to the lives of young children is addressed. Both the surrounding issues and relevant early years classroom practices are presented.
Throughout this book, consideration is given to the individual learner. Hill writes about English language English language, member of the West Germanic group of the Germanic subfamily of the Indo-European family of languages (see Germanic languages). Spoken by about 470 million people throughout the world, English is the official language of about 45 nations. learners and Indigenous literacy and provides practical information on small group teaching, and on classroom planning and management for supporting the development of early literacy.

moreAustralian Soul challenges the idea that religious and spiritual life in Australia is in decline. This fascinating book describes the character of religious and spiritual life in Australia today, and argues that, far from petering out, religion and spirituality are thriving. Gary Bouma, the leading expert on the state of religious life in Australia, provides the most up-to-date facts and figures and compares the 'tone' of Australian religious practices with those of other countries. Australians might be less vocal and more reticent about their religion than Americans are, but their religious and spiritual beliefs are no less potent. Australian Soul describes and analyses our religious and spiritual life in detail as well as providing a series of case studies that illustrate the range of practices and beliefs in Australia today. Australian Soul predicts a vital future for religion and spirituality. less
