Smartfoam Memory Foam Cushion Pad
Item Added to Basket
Smartfoam Memory Foam Cushion Pad is rated out of 5 by 22.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Helen from Comfortable Pad My husband purchased this pad today to ease my discomfort after a hip replacement 7 days ago. What a good result ! It is just thick enough to sit safely and ease the pressure.
Date published: 2015-07-23
Rated 1 out of 5 by Helga from Very Disappointed I purchased four of these to put inside conservatory seat cushions. I am so disappointed, despite the chairs only being used when guests arrive, i.e. the cushions are mostly not in use, but the memory foam in mine is ineffective and flattened to about 1/2 inch depth, they just look like a solid slabs of flapjack. (for want of a better expression) Dunelm is my go-to store, so I am very disappointed with these cushion pads, especially given the overall cost. (I also have a Dunelm Memory Foam Mattress which I am very pleased with), but had to submit an adverse report on a Memory support pillow too.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Galesa from Second purchase Good support for back

Rated 4 out of 5 by pjclark56 from On the small side. Good quality. Regains shape. Order up a size.
Date published: 2015-04-22
Rated 4 out of 5 by Brenda from Quite firm but just what I needed. I bought this because ordinary cushions half disappear between the back and seat of my chair. This resolves the problem but is not like an ordinary cushion in as much that it is a support rather than a comfort product. Generally I am not keen on memory foam pillows but I like this for the stated reasons.

Currently you only can select if you show all oder none.
If would be perfect if e.g. if you have one post only in the event category the event is not shown as post.
If you define more than one category the event is shown as post as well.
Does anyone has an idea how to archive this?

CRM is one of his Fav's and he will pump it till the well is dry. He is right as this stock has big swings because it is dominated by hedgefunds and Cramer so whatever direction it is in, that will change!!!!
I've heard that justification before on stocks from AAPL (at 706) and RIMM (above 100 and at 80, 70, 60, etc..). Over time, fundamentals lead technicals.
Can you trust a company that is about 14 years old, has no GAAP earnings, and has announced they don't expect GAAP earnings in the next year and also beyond that? Can you trust a company that allocates large numbers of shares of stock (at greatly reduced prices) to employees and the most to the CEO, while issuing more shares of stock so that public longs lose value? Can you trust a company that buys revenue at excessive cost and doesn't have organic growth while rewarding insiders as though they had made money for investors?
The stock has turned from upside pressure to downside pressure in that up days have low volume and down days have heavier volume.

Rob Ford barbecue has surprise guest: 'fishing partner' Stephen Harper

Rob Ford's new fishing buddy, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, says the Toronto mayor didn't live up to his reputation during a recent fishing trip when he caught a 39-centimetre-long smallmouth bass but refused to "kill it and eat it."
"He did catch some good size fish, including one – and I measured it, I can authenticate it – 39 centimetres," says the Prime Minister in a YouTube video taken Tuesday night at a barbecue at Ford's Etobicoke residence. But, he added, "he didn't live up to his reputation as he refused to kill it and eat it."
Before introducing Harper, who was the surprise guest of the evening, to the 700-strong crowd of Conservative volunteers, staffers and supporters gathered in Ford's Etobicoke backyard, the mayor joked that he caught the biggest bass when he went fishing with the prime minister a couple of weeks ago at an unnamed lake up north.
Ford introduced Harper as his "new fishing partner."
The party, organized by Conservative MPs Patrick Brown and Kellie Leitch, was held to honour Finance Minister Jim Flaherty for his efforts during last spring's federal election that saw much of the GTA turn Tory blue.
Flaherty, also the minister responsible for the GTA, has a long-standing friendship with the Ford family, dating back to when he served in the provincial legislature with Doug Ford Sr. under Mike Harris in the 1990s. Flaherty endorsed Rob Ford's mayoral candidacy in the last municipal election.
"The GTA caucus wanted to have a celebration of how well they had done in the recent election and the contribution Flaherty made to that," a federal source told the Star. "He campaigned hard in the GTA."
Ford's west-end street was blocked off by police when Harper's motorcade arrived, while in the backyard, Tory supporters enjoyed burgers, beer and wine.
In his surprise speech to the crowd, Harper thanked Ford's mother, Diane, for "giving us this great Conservative political dynasty."
"Many of you may remember Rob endorsed us in the election. That helped a lot," Harper told the crowd in the video. "Rob is doing something very important that needs to be done here. He is cleaning up the NDP mess here in Toronto."
The prime minister said his government had cleaned up the "left-wing mess federally" and said he hoped to "complete the hat trick" by turning Ontario blue come the Oct. 6 provincial election, a comment that elicited applause from the crowd.
While Harper didn't mention provincial Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak by name in the video, it is rare for a prime minister to endorse a candidate running against a sitting premier, regardless of party differences.

|Reviews for You Wanna Know What I think?
| amori.xo chapter 38 . 8/21
Amazing story! Loved every moment! The only thing that would make it even better would be the epilogue! Even though it's been years since you've written this, hope you'll add a little something just to round it all up!
| lilhobbit chapter 38 . 8/14
This was lovely. Thank you for writing it!
| Hitchhiker04 chapter 38 . 8/4
Um, I might be a little bit obsessed with this story. I read it all the way through... three times. And I've skipped to my favorite parts on countless occasions. This was an amazing read, and I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your story. It was great, fantastic, and just about any positive adjective you can think of.
| MarvelDaydreamer chapter 38 . 7/26
you wanna know what I think?...I think your story is fucking amazing!
Okay, so I first read your story last autumn and I fell in love with it. At first I had put off reading it because the summary was vague, so I didn't know what it would be like. But then one day I decided to give it a go and I have absolutely no regrets.
I know that you've probably heard this a bunch of times in your 1000 reviews, but I just have to add my part to the mix. I love how you potrayed your Joker. The way you made him still stay in character to the movie one, but also made him work in a romance story too. I've read a few Joker/OC ones where they try to do the same, but they usually quite don't work. I also really like how you added humour here and there-it really made me smile.
I love your other oc characters that you add to the story as well, which many people don't do. The way you included Mark and Jimmy was really good as well, along with Ron. It really added more depth to it and helped develop it. I also liked your plot lines too, they were really interesting and drew you in. And normally when I read a story where the OC gets pregnant, I usually get bored as they seem to just sit around and do nothing. But Jane actually did things and it kept my attention easily.
I loved the relationship between Jane and Joker throughout the entire fic. The way that you developed it, whilst still keeping the Joker in character was really clever. From the beginning to the end, you always made it believable. I loved the way they first started to develop their relationship, with her secretly feeding him in Arkham and the way it continued to progress throughout.
Finally, I really like that you didn't turn Jane into his sidekick, but you didn't keep her completely out of the action as well. And how you got the Joker to show his concern for her, but his own way.
Sorry my review is so long, but I just had so much to say and compliment you on. I don't know if you plan on writing a sequel, but i hope you do, even if it is a short one.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for writing this amazing fic, it's my favourite for sure and always puts a smile on my face. Please never take it down. :)

Omg. You're so close to finishing this. Why the cuss haven't you written the epilogue?! I mean, I could live with the way it was left off, but at the same time I REALLY want to know what happens after the babies are born. Five years have passed. FIVE? FIVE! Holy cussing cuss! This story was amazing! Thank you for writing it even though I'm really mad that it says it's complete and I can't accept that it really is! I hope you haven't died or something and that's why you haven't finished it... Well come on!

This was so funny and romantic!
| Ben and Jerry's Icecream Cone chapter 38 . 7/8
I liked this story, loved it actually and I know I am going to have trouble finding another Joker who is as 'Fluffy' as yours. I went back to the beginning last night and re-read the 1st chapter because I adored the bit where Joker protects her with his legs, it was cute and Joker-ish at the same time. Not sure if I would have enjoyed the story more without the pregnancy because I usually get bored when I find out the main character is pregnant but it was actually good, she didn't stay at home doing nothing for the last ten chapters like i would have expected. I loved the addition of the dogs, glad you didn't kill them off and I loved that you made Jimmy and Mark a part of the dysfnctional family too! Thanks for posting, will put it in my favourites and re-read eventually! x
| Ben and Jerry's Icecream Cone chapter 18 . 7/6
I adore this story! Sorry for not reviewing every chapter as you deserve, I usually read on the phone app and theres option to review. This is my second Joker/ oc story- actually my second every batman fanfic I have read and I am really loving it. I like that you make it fluffy at times and I like the Joker's character. Yes alright he isn't quite as unhinged ( I won't say crazy because he gets angry when called crazy) as usual but we do need to love him. I also love your OC.
I struggle to like OC's most of the time because usually I like the main female character but there is lacking main female roles in Batman so I opted for an OC. At the beginning, I thought "oh god, she's really dull" but you've really brightened her character up as the fic moves along... she is growing, as they say.
Your grammar is fantastic, as is your spelling ( forgive mine, please) and I thoughly enjoy this story, one of the best of the thousands I have read I have to say! Will review as often as I can! Thanks for posting!
| Guest chapter 38 . 7/6
Omg I just read this! It is so amazing and the FEELS. I CAN'T WAIT AND SEE WHAT YOU WOULD DO NEXT YEKKKKKK
| Ben and Jerry's Icecream Cone chapter 1 . 7/5
Absolutley adorable joker/oc interction!
| Rebecca chapter 38 . 6/13
Awesome story, loved it! Best original Joker I have seen yet! I also really loved how you made Mark and Jimmy part of their little family. Great job. Recommendations to all who read reviews before the story.
| Guest chapter 19 . 6/12
I lost interest in the story the second she was pregnant and not getting an abortion, however, up until this chaper I enjoyed the writing and premise very much!
Definitely interesting characterization. Two thumbs up!
| kpacademygirl chapter 38 . 6/6
Hey what happened to the peeks! You give me twins which is awesome but come on! Just one little joker with a baby peek? please?

They honestly believe the joker of all people is this unoriginal? Come on show a little bit of intelligence.

"Great company...HORRIBLE management "
- Work/Life Balance
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
- Comp & Benefits
- Senior Management
I worked at LoyaltyOne full-time (More than a year)
The company has amazing benefits, you get free gifts, the shifts are decent for bilingual specialists. You get variables, which allows you to start your day earlier or later. There's a lot of room for growth, charity work and you have every other saturday off depending on your skill set. I love my coworkers. If you're lucky you get a team leader that genuinely cares about you, and your progress in life and the company.
Where do I start... Loyalty one is the organization that owns/runs, essentially its the air miles program. So as a specialist your taking air miles calls. The program is ALWAYS changing and many people (especially the elderly) don't like change. Because of all this change you constantly get angry customers that you can do absolutely nothing for, maybe you can offer 25 air miles but what's that really going to do when they're possibly losing out on hundreds or thousands of air miles! So...due to the fact that you can't help these customers, it affects your Customer Satisfaction Surveys. As a specialist you get 10 surveys a month and you need to average a 70%. Its sometimes difficult to attain that 70% even if your customer service is amazing!!!!! The customers are asked I believe 8 questions, out of those 8 questions there are 2 questions that determine if you pass or fail (what's the point of the other questions right????). 9 out of 10 times if you do fail the survey, its not because you're a bad representative and you gave bad service, it's because the air miles program sucks!!! They keep making changes, not properly informing their customers and then YOU the representative are left with a bad survey. The customers are able to leave comments so you hear exactly why you got a bad survey. Loyalty one doesn't care about that though, my boss told me "the numbers don't lie" lol, even though he knew that I wasn't in the wrong and the situation was "out of my control".They don't use the surveys for the benefit of the customers or the program, they use the surveys to fire their employees. When you have/had a team leader like mine, that doesn't care about the members of his team and is always selfishly looking out for himself, the company is a hard place to be mentally and emotionally. It's sometimes a high stress environment because you're always being watched, through stats, personal time...everything is numbers and if you don't have the numbers that they need...you get letters, action plans or you get fired! The company focuses more on micromanaging their employees rather than responding to the needs of their customers. If you do decide to work here my advice is you're very careful and strategic with the way you deal with certain leaders. Do honest work and if you feel something is not right speak up. Many people are afraid to speak up because they don't want to lose their job. It is a civil environment and you can handle your business in a civil manner. Don't allow people to walk all over you because they are management. If you don't know by your rights...read up on them.
Advice to Management
I think that upper management needs to make sure that the team leaders have a very good understanding of the program. I think that one of the requirements of being a team leader should be that they were a specialist in the past. When your team leader always refers you to your peers or other leaders, their job is pointless. I think that upper management really needs to start listening to the care representatives and their concerns, and use the surveys to benifit the program not to eliminate the employees. The company loses people with amazing skills that can benefit them because of surveys that speak nothing about the service of the agent. Management has to understand that the not everyone is a leader.

I have been working at LoyaltyOne full-time (More than 5 years)
LoyaltyOne's contact centre offers flexible options through Work at home and flexible work programs. All associates are offered a variety of opportunities to pursue career development in all lanes of the company, however these opportunities are more readily available for lateral moves within the contact centre side of business. it becomes increasingly difficult to cross over to the corporate side, unless you have relevant experience or credentials. it's not to say this hasn't been achieved - many associates who started off in the customer service environment have built meaningful careers on the corporate side. the office culture is relaxed and they run a support-based coaching model, rather than disciplinary.
No real cons. There may be examples of poor leadership among some teams, but no company is immune to this. Projects are often pushed to launch without being ready, resulting in numerous project launch delays, but to no fault of any one business lane involved in the project. This is usually more circumstancial

Law School Graduate with Digital Marketing and SEO Experience
United States - Portfolio: 2
I am a recent graduate of the University of La Verne College of Law where I was graduated on the Dean's List and served as both a Staff Editor for Law Review and President for the Sports and Entertainment Law Society. I am extremely interested in pursuing a career in the entertainment law field. I was recently published in my school's current law review volume for my comment on a contemporary entertainment law/copyright law topic--a copy of which I will be happy to provide as a writing sample upon request. From the age of two, I have been involved in the entertainment industry and still maintain my SAG membership. While working at the Law Offices of Allen, Mullings & Allen, I became rather familiar with the on-goings of legal practice. I was also given the opportunity to research issues pertaining to civil litigation and insurance litigation. My research skills were finely tuned during my judicial externship with the San Bernardino Superior Court. I have also developed oral advocacy skills through my time at the Mayor's Office of San Francisco, where I was given the opportunity to represent constituents by voicing their concerns to the mayoral staff. Moreover, my internship under the Executive Vice President of Brand Partnerships and Business Development at Universal Music Latin Entertainment has bestowed upon me an intimate knowledge of entertainment contracting and business negotiation. By working closely with the Brand Partnership Department, this internship fostered an intimate understanding of branding and marketing by requiring copywriting and creation of artist decks. Most recently, I completed a paid internship with Universal Motion Picture Group's Music Business Affairs office, where I worked closely with the Executive Vice President to determine the contractual rights and obligations of parties to soundtrack and score synchronization and master use license arrangements. Currently, I am serving as a freelance Online Marketing Coordinator for J.G. Haddy Sales Company, where I am developing strategies to improve SEO for the parent company and its three subsidiaries. I feel that my combination of experience in the legal realm coupled with my lifelong history with the entertainment business makes me an ideal candidate

This wasn't my first time speaking at ICAC; I also addressed their 2011 meeting. Hong Kong is a respected jurisdiction when it comes to combating corruption, and there are many lessons to learn from their experience at this excellent event which attracts hundreds of experts in the field from around the world. I was particularly honoured to sit at the head table next to Commissioner Simon Peh:
Throughout my career, I've been very interested in continuous learning and mastering new skills. Ever since doing PR for the publisher of the first scientific measurement tool for emotional intelligence (EQ) in the United States (when I lived there in the late 1990s), I've been a big believer in it and have used various EQ resources in staff development and employee recruitment in North America and North Asia. It's been said that while IQ might help earn a job offer, it is EQ which determines the extent and speed of one's ascent in the organization. While IQ is thought to be a 'fixed' measure of intelligence, EQ is known to be dynamic and subject to continuous improvement through the self-awareness that comes with testing and training.]]>
On April 23rd, I was honoured to be on Channel NewsAsia TV talking about the social media significance of YouTube's 10th anniversary. I was interviewed live at the anchor desk by the splendid Julie Yoo (the on-screen lady behind me in this photo). Julie is from Korea – where I used to live during the last decade – and before the interview, we traded notes about how YouTube provided not only a platform for the global launch of the artist PSY (whose 'Gangnam Style' remains the most-watched video in history at 2.3 billion views and counting), but also for K-pop in general. Indeed, Korea's 'soft power' as a confident exporter of its culture was buttressed in a way that would have been unthinkable prior to the advent of social media. I've been on YouTube for a long time and have a channel although it is relatively inactive compared to my other social media accounts (copyright restrictions on my past media interviews prevent more frequent posting).
That's the broader context of my outlook concerning what happened this week, when I was approached by journalist Emily Tan (interim editor of PRWeek Asia) to speak about Malaysia's new 'sedition' laws. My own view is that during these transparent times when social technology is ascendant, I think the emphasis should be on communication rather than control, where we start with listening rather than legislation.
Anyway, Emily explained to me that many agency leaders refused to go 'on the record' concerning this controversial topic. That motivated me to say something as a named source for her story; she chose to quote me thus:
"I actually don't believe this legislation will have much of an impact on corporate communications behaviour in Malaysia," said Bob Pickard, chairman Asia-Pacific of Huntsworth. "The market already has a reputation necessitating calculated restraint in public relations and media relations."
The new laws, Pickard added, may however adversely impact the nation's marketing industry. "Our craft is at its best when freedom of expression trumps even well-meaning efforts which may have the consequence of stifling creativity or squelching insights and, in so doing, holding back the development of a country's marketing services industry. My best communications counsel for both clients and governments is to proactively engage the online public as a source of new ideas to be openly shared."
The reluctance of communications industry leaders to stand up and be counted when our profession faces free speech constraints is not ideal. We are, after all, arguably the world's most influential information workers. I have also noticed a lack of robust public advocacy when the journalism trade is threatened, or when reporters themselves are intimidated through various muzzling maneuvers.
Not all topics require a comment every single time from industry big-wigs. But I do think our top people should step up to the plate on major issues (including ones like climate change which I have blogged about before wearing my corporate communicator hat). That means less running for cover when opportunities arise to speak about the freedom of expression which is our oxygen in public relations.
Doing these media encounters is enjoyable and interesting, but for those of us in the PR business, the pressure is on because we so often advise clients how to perform well in interviews, to be credible with them we absolutely must follow our own counsel in doing them ourselves!
"The main stumbling block for some are conservative corporate cultures infamously dismissive of a communications function which usually isn't well understood in the first place," says Huntsworth Asia-Pacific chairman Bob Pickard, who launched Edelman's presence in Japan a decade ago.
"Then there is the entrenched inertia of what in some companies are mighty domestic PR departments anchored in the old 'press club system' which still looms large in Tokyo."
"It's tough to tackle these daunting challenges but overcoming them can be done with ample listening, diplomatic tact, consensus seeking and abundant patience," adds Pickard. "Corporate communications life in Japan isn't for everyone. It can be full of frustrations!"
Still, Pickard is fairly bullish about the potential upside. Japan's country brand is consistently ranked above Korea and China, which surely counts as an advantage for its companies, and the country is comfortable with both advanced communications technologies and social networks, whether international or indigenous.
"The exhilarations are absolutely worth it," says Pickard. "The quality design, the attention to detail, the relationship-centrism, the continuous improvement in the PR craft; these are all Japanese characteristics which can travel well beyond the country's borders."
In separate conversation on the subject, Bob Pickard, Asia-Pacific chairman at Huntsworth in Singapore, commented that another dimension to look at is the brand's origin. "Lenovo is a Chinese multinational," he said, "and in global markets Chinese companies are subject to considerable skepticism about their quality and trustworthiness. Fairly or unfairly, the bar is set higher for Chinese products, and the last thing Lenovo should be doing is stoking new fears stemming from old stereotypes."
In so many ways, Lenovo has been "surefooted in its march to become a mighty global brand", and so this incident was surprising and attracted disproportionate attention, Pickard said.
Pickard also observed that for Lenovo "It looks like someone was asleep at the switch, but the good news is that they are turning on a dime to correct the situation and I expect this to be a temporary setback."
"The company admitted ownership of the problem and undertook to make things right with their customers. Lenovo didn't try to point the finger and blame someone else like some coward companies do when they lose their cool under similar circumstances. Lenovo expressed their company's feelings using candid and human language in taking responsibility for what happened, with the same kind of refreshing candor which helps to restore trust in a hurry. It was really a textbook case of the right way to say sorry."
How would you sum up best practice when it comes to issue management in PR? Do your clients generally agree with you?
Best practice is knowing what's going on before everyone else does and having a tested 'always-on' early warning radar and rapid response capability in place. Information is a cheap commodity but insights command top dollar. The role of the PR executive is to divine confident recommendations real-time from the constantly complex challenges facing our clients. If we have the wisdom and the tools and ability to help our clients intercept and manage issues intelligently, then they will listen to what we have to say.
Does the maturity of the PR sector affect the degree to which clients trust their PR teams?
PR savvy and sophistication inside many markets and companies is a work in progress. Clients are fed-up with mediocrity and there's a lot of their money roaming the industry restlessly looking to underwrite precious quality they can always trust when change is a constant. Would this mean differences in terms of issue management between Asia and the West? If so, how? PR in the West has actually become such an aggressive and vivid concept in the public mind, perceived to be more important and interesting than ever: "PR war," "PR battle," "PR blitz," "PR spectacle," etc. It's almost as if PR is now seen as a mighty secret weapon to be used against one's enemies. In Asia the PR function is less well understood and so underfunded. That seems to be changing and longer-term as Asian companies become world famous brands communicating online, PR can flourish but only if it stays relevant in the social media marketplace. If it fails to do so, it will be never achieve its potential within Asian multinationals.
When, if ever, should an agency monitor and respond to social media for a client in real time?
This should be an 'always on' function for all clients at all times.
What kinds of people do you look for to help execute a proactively reactive PR campaign or strategy?
Intellectual curiosity is key, knowing what is going on in the world, grasping the psychology of persuasion, having ambition to be the best and getting a charge out of making clients famous.
What kinds of monitoring and analysis technologies, if any, do you advocate using?
Nowadays there are so many choices but personally I think Hootsuite is an essential tool for any PR professional. It has a data-driven capacity for engagement and collaboration that is second-to-none.
How do you deal with crunching the huge amount of data provided by social media? How do you convert that information into practical insights and/or identify key issues and risk in order to benefit the client?
Knowing the right questions to ask in the first place is absolutely essential when it comes to creating actionable intelligence. Using metaphor elicitation techniques, wrapping your head around search patterns, having the acuity to be track what's going on with all the right keywords and phrases across multiple languages.
When it comes to issue management and proactive reactivity, what is the key issue that PR teams need to keep in mind going forward?
Going forward, the speed of PR is going to keep accelerating and we need to deal with that. The rise of 'social operating systems' like Facebook and Twitter and now WeChat and LINE makes it possible to share more information with infinitely large communities, but at the same time the sheer scale of our expanding networks is making it more difficult to communicate with individuals in a genuinely personal and customised manner. Nowadays communication must consist of listening as well as talking and given the broad scale yet atomized sensibility demanded by digital, in the future we will need the new thinking and augmented capacities we currently lack.
Public relations professionals have always been intelligent agents of information-sharing, knowing how to, where to, and when to share information with which people in different sequences so that they do or think things achieving intended communications and commercial outcomes. It used to be that we would need to have relationships with dozens of journalists and communicate through them with a mass audience via story placement.
Now we need to 'know' vast numbers of people – be they elite opinion-makers or average citizens – and maintain active and customized relationships with hundreds, thousands, even multi-millions. The dead reckoning of today's PR minds won't be enough to handle all this and there's no canvas large enough where we can paint the far more sophisticated plans that will be required. So I think it is inevitable that we will need to delegate more and more power to super-smart systems that will help us communicate in what is becoming an unbelievably complex environment.
We need technology to help us simplify exponential complexity and today's best algorithms aren't solving the problems of scale and sensibility that are getting bigger than our current capability to address. This trend may become most evident in Asia, where we need to apply new technology to communicate effortlessly across diverse cultural and linguistic boundaries as never before.]]>
"The more 'social' business becomes, the less corrupt it can be. Social media is the key to creating commercial communities of the highest character where ideas are solicited, standards are shared and rules are enforced. Corruption tends to lurk in the shadows, where social media exposes and illuminates. Social media should therefore be a fundamental part of corporate communication, which shapes company culture, which determines whether or not there's an environment conducive to corruption. Co-creation through conversations with employees is essential, with openness and transparency not just reasonable expectations, but everyday realities of how a business thinks and works. Social media is taking a wrecking ball to the old walls separating previously distinct business functions where graft could fall through the cracks, and is the one platform that can cut across entire enterprises and industries and create a new rallying point against corruption."
I've been supporting the anti-corruption cause for more than a decade, and this May will be delivering a speech to Hong Kong's Independent Commission Against Corruption on how new media is creating a 'social operating system' which can be used to combat corruption across society.]]>
Recently I was interviewed by Karolina Marolt of the Slovenian Marketing Magazine on the topic of 'Climate change communications and the PR disaster of global warming' which is also the theme of my speech to the 6th World Communication Forum in Davos this March 10th. The resulting Slovenian language article is based on the original English email interview conducted below:
At WCF in Davos you will have a speech about climate change communications and the 'PR disaster' of global warming. It has been a year since you first published a blog post on that matter and a few months since you have published a follow-up with advice on what we can do about it. So do you notice any change in global warming communication since then – or is it perhaps too soon?
What I am noticing is that now more and more people are openly talking about how climate change has an infamous public relations problem. Finding a solution to global warming will require better communication and we have a large community of untapped PR talent ready to roll in service of this task. What we need now is bold leadership and ample money for this cause and thus far, we've had neither. It's true that there is robust climate communication coming from the UN and institutions like the World Bank, but neither of these worthy efforts takes this issue to the required level. Inside our own PR trade community, the lack of a courageous stand from global agency chiefs has been appalling and our industry can and should do much better.
I think we've entered a new phase in climate communication because the issue is no longer being seen as a 'debate' between two sides, each with legitimate arguments. Deniers are finally being tuned-out. In the media, people who were formerly known as 'climate skeptics' are being labelled as deniers of climate change, if indeed they are interviewed at all. My own view is that inside PR firms, carbon accounts like oil and gas will soon be as uncool to work on as serving on tobacco accounts became a generation ago.
In your follow-up you write about importance of frequent repetition of the message to sink in with the public. But there is a problem you mentioned in the original piece that the global warming issue has become part of a routinised 'new normal,' thus not exciting any more. So how do you think the issue should be presented in order to stay at the peak of importance and thus able to send the message across to the public?
As increasing numbers of people come to experience the changed climate and reflect on how 2014 was the hottest year ever recorded in human history, they can start to project dire consequences, picturing what happens in a world of runaway warming in terms of sea level rise, ocean acidification, threats to the food supply, dangerous extreme weather, political instability, and so on. I have seen new visualisation tools online which help people understand what's happening (e.g. here's one from NASA showing 'a year in the life of CO2' http://news.yahoo.com/nasa-simulation-shows-a-year-in-the-life-of-earth-s-co2-190708986.html?soc_src=mediacontentstory&soc_trk=fb). But perhaps the most effective story frames are actual photographs of drought and floods and radical weather events which affect real people who you can see in the picture. I also note that many more senior corporate and military leaders – who come across as much more credible compared to civilian politicians – are starting to talk about what's going to happen in tomorrow's warming world, meaning that climate change is starting to break out of the 'perception ghetto' of being regarded as some kind of government or NGO issue.
How do you feel about using the global warming problems as part of personal publicity (so one would achieve his own personal or political goals)?
Well I haven't seen many examples of this, but if there is alignment between an individual's activity to achieve their personal goals which puts climate change on society's agenda to solve, then that brings us one step closer to seeing effective collective action.
You have been working on communication markets across Asia and Northern America, are those international communications markets very different?
I've spent 12 years in Asia-Pacific and 12 years working in North America. There are many differences between these markets but fundamentally, I think communication works in a similar way across the Pacific. The most universal element is listening to people, which makes them know they are important to you, which therefore inspires them to be more inclined to like you, and then do and think what you are hoping they will do or think. As long as that process is transparent and permissions-based, it is ethical persuasion across geographic boundaries.
But there are also radical differences. Language influences communication style and content, with the 'high context' languages of some Asian countries functioning far differently than English, which can be more 'direct' and asymmetrical with the needs of the sender paramount. It if often very difficult for some Asian and Western people to converse without a lot of cultural bridge-building and mediation, because the way they are accustomed to communicate can be so unalike. I also think relationships operate differently, with the importance of proper introduction and getting to know each other well prior to transacting business far more fundamental in Asia (compared to America for example).
You also talk about the interest in a global communications campaign for global warming. What are the main challenges in such a big campaign which would extend over different communications markets?
A global communications campaign against climate change would of necessity need to be a campaign that asks people to think or do something which would be easy for them to understand and to act upon. Global warming is already a famous fact, so communication needs to create a 'rallying point' of inspiration where people can receive information that they can use or do something with.
It's hard enough to break through all the cognitive barriers humans have when it comes to them understanding climate change in the first place. But when you throw cultural differences into the mix, then there's another layer of potential resistance to consider because otherwise the audience for any campaign could be needlessly limited. This is not a small problem, because marketers know how hard it is to get a message across to even one country where a broad cross-section of society then is convinced to believe or behave in consequence. The last time I checked, there were 193 countries in the United Nations, and within many of them – particularly the bigger ones – there is a staggering diversity. For all the globalisation we have seen, mankind is still a variegated species where we are less members of a global community and more like an extended community of local communities. A 'one-size-fits-all' cookie-cutter campaign would not be the way to go with global climate communications, not if we want everyone's voice to be heard.]]>

Day Two
... Yogi Bear Jellystone campground for the night. Big mistake!! It's very crowded, very noisy and slightly unkempt. We locked ourselves in the RV and called it a night. Right now they have a DJ playing LOUD music. Not our best campground, plus they charged $80 for the night, which is more than twice the amount we usually pay. Unfortunately, there weren't a lot of campgrounds to choose from in the area.

winning 3 of those rounds. They had many cards between them and we
just had a few since we were beginners. We weren't aware there was
money involved but there was a money prize each round. It was kind of
fun despite the strangeness of playing bingo in the rain outside a
perfectly dry hall! It was dark as we headed back but we were armed
with torches and encountered no skunks. Wouldn't mind seeing one,
don't want to trip over one!

In fact as soon as we pulled into our site the kids and I left Bo and went straight to the pool.

As were are about to leave, the instructor tell us that we can drag our kayak up a hill if we want to try a land entry. This is basically ...

Just got back from a 7 day stay here for the first time. I have driven by this place for years and always wondered what it was like. We came up with two other couples and all had separate rooms. Check in is 5 pm which I think is a little late when you are paying 250 a night and then checking out at 11 am and paying another 250. Check in was seamless once our room was ready and we stayed in a one bedroom with two double beds and a private balcony on the 3rd floor. The room had everything we could want for a 7 day stay. Kitchen had all the appliances and dishes we could want. Living area was large and separate from bedroom. Both rooms had new flat screen T.V.s. Bathroom was hidden around corner from beds so you can have some privacy. Balcony had a gorgeous view of East Bay. Furniture needs some updating and there were a few small things that could be fixed around the property but this IS a prime location hence the 250 a night. Rooms were cleaned three times while we were there but I believe that does not get done for timeshare owners. Indoor pool, hot tub, game room, small 3 piece exercise room and a dry sauna are about it for extras. All staff were very friendly. Biggest issue we had all week was putting up with first floor guests who thought that the community tables on the lawn outside their rooms was for their use only. Resort policy states that these are first come first serve but we had consistent verbal spars with ground floor tenants who must have had trouble reading the rules. I will be calling other hotels in vicinity next year to check on pricing. I may find find a better deal and I may not. They also have two bedroom rooms if you have a larger party. Best tip for staying here is try and get room with private balcony.
