People Get Ready by Robert W. McChesney,John Nichols Pdf

Humanity is on the verge of its darkest hour -- or its greatest moment The consequences of the technological revolution are about to hit hard: unemployment will spike as new technologies replace labor in the manufacturing, service, and professional sectors of an economy that is already struggling. The end of work as we know it will hit at the worst moment imaginable: as capitalism fosters permanent stagnation, when the labor market is in decrepit shape, with declining wages, expanding poverty, and scorching inequality. Only the dramatic democratization of our economy can address the existential challenges we now face. Yet, the US political process is so dominated by billionaires and corporate special interests, by corruption and monopoly, that it stymies not just democracy but progress. The great challenge of these times is to ensure that the tremendous benefits of technological progress are employed to serve the whole of humanity, rather than to enrich the wealthy few. Robert W. McChesney and John Nichols argue that the United States needs a new economy in which revolutionary technologies are applied to effectively address environmental and social problems and used to rejuvenate and extend democratic institutions. Based on intense reporting, rich historical analysis, and deep understanding of the technological and social changes that are unfolding, they propose a bold strategy for democratizing our digital destiny -- before it's too late -- and unleashing the real power of the Internet, and of humanity.

People Get Ready! by Christine Berry,Joe Guinan Pdf

Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour stands on the brink of power, promising a fundamental re-ordering of British politics. But what, in practice, will this entail? How can a radical government stand up to an establishment that is hostile to any significant redistribution of wealth and power? People Get Ready!dives into the nitty gritty of what’s needed to bring about transformative change. Unlike a decade ago, the left’s problem is no longer a shortage of big ideas. Inside and outside the Labour Party, an agenda for new forms of public and community ownership is taking shape. Today the biggest danger facing the left is lack of preparedness—the absence of strategies that can make these ideas a reality. People Get Ready! draws on previous attempts at radical change, from the election of Labour at the end of the Second World War and the progressive early days of Mitterrand’s presidency in France, to Tony Benn’s battles with Harold Wilson and Margaret Thatcher’s icy insistence that there was no alternative to free markets. These stories highlight the importance of knowing your allies and, even more, your enemies, of being ready to deal with sabotage and resistance from the highest levels, of being bold enough to transform the structures of government, and of having a mass movement that can both support the leadership and hold it to its radical programme when the going gets tough. Remarkably, democratic socialism in Britain is closer to government than in any other European country. The responsibilities this brings for those supporting the Corbyn project are as great as the opportunities it presents. But there isn’t much time to get ready …

People Get Ready by Ajay Heble,Rob Wallace Pdf

In People Get Ready, musicians, scholars, and journalists write about jazz since 1965, the year that Curtis Mayfield composed the famous civil rights anthem that gives this collection its title. The contributors emphasize how the political consciousness that infused jazz in the 1960s and early 1970s has informed jazz in the years since then. They bring nuance to historical accounts of the avant-garde, the New Thing, Free Jazz, "non-idiomatic" improvisation, fusion, and other forms of jazz that have flourished since the 1960s, and they reveal the contemporary relevance of those musical practices. Many of the participants in the jazz scenes discussed are still active performers. A photographic essay captures some of them in candid moments before performances. Other pieces revise standard accounts of well-known jazz figures, such as Duke Ellington, and lesser-known musicians, including Jeanne Lee; delve into how money, class, space, and economics affect the performance of experimental music; and take up the question of how digital technology influences improvisation. People Get Ready offers a vision for the future of jazz based on an appreciation of the complexity of its past and the abundance of innovation in the present. Contributors.

Get Ready, Get Hired! by Gerard Assey Pdf

Congratulations… You have taken your first major step to building your future! Whether it’s your very first formal interview-on how to present yourself or if employed already and you just want to polish your resume or brush up on your interviewing skills, then this guide covers all that you need to prepare you and catapult you into a successful career. Employers are looking to hire young personnel that are keen and know how to use their talents, abilities, strengths, and interests effectively. But successful interviewing doesn’t begin the moment you walk into the interview and end the moment you leave. Successful interviewing includes preparation and follow-up. It takes hard work and sheer tenacity to identify the best situations to apply your superpowers. You need to know yourself, and you need help finding what it is you do that creates magic for others. First, remember that job interviews should be a process of two-way communication. Not only are they a tool for employers to use to evaluate you, but they are also an opportunity for you to assess the job, the organization, and to see if there is a "fit." However for many people, the fear of being put on the spot and meeting the interviewer’s expectations can overshadow their interview performance. And let’s be frank, almost everyone experiences some kind of nervousness or anxiety related to job interviews, which can manifest in different ways like: talking too fast, overusing fillers like ahh’s or umm’s, not finding the right words to concisely respond to questions, the dreaded sweaty palms and the list can go on… But this nervous energy prior to an interview is not something to fear. It is proving you want to do well! Research says that it can in fact help you to perform better if you master the key to a successful interview: The key to a successful interview being preparation and practice. At an interview, potential employers are trying to assess some of or all of the following: ü Your attitude towards your job, others and life in general. ü Your qualifications for the position ü Your "fit" with the employer or organization ü What value will you bring to them? ü What makes you different from the others being considered? ü How well you have considered your reasons for applying ü How clearly you can express your potential contribution to the organization ü Your “soft skills” such as communication and professionalism. ü How you are able to get along with others-handling complex issues etc ü How you carry and conduct yourself and more Remember that if you don’t manage yourself, no one will. Far too many people wait for someone else to create the circumstances that allow them to be happy at work. No matter how much we sulk or complain about our lot, the only person responsible for changing the situation is the one staring back at us in the mirror. You only own your career. Not your parents. Not your college or organization. Not your boss. You own your professional development. Finding yourself a new job can be an extremely time consuming and stressful part of one’s life, especially if you’re a recent graduate and making your way into the job world for the first time. Even if you’re a successful professional looking for a new job, finding the right job you’re best suited for will take time, energy, research and all of your personal selling skills you can muster up in order to impress a potential employer. Careful preparation is therefore necessary to produce optimal outcomes from an interviewing experience. And this book "Get Ready, Get Hired!" will immensely help you do just that- to catapult your career forward. You will learn how to position yourself, to stand out, improve your job application and increase your chances of becoming the successful candidate! You will discover how to write a strong resume, create an effective cover letter and successfully prepare for a job interview- taking your job application to the next level or finding the right career, by making sure to wow the company and seal the deal to get the job!
