VENICE.- ? Voice of Images? is the first Palazzo Grassi ? Fran?ois Pinault Foundation exhibition dedicated to the moving image in the Fran?ois Pinault Collection.

Showing in the atrium and the first floor of Palazzo Grassi, the exhibition ?

Alongside the exhibition, a catalogue has been published, including interviews with all of the artists shown, monthly presentations with artists from the exhibition will take place, and a programme of films will be shown in the two screening rooms on the first floor of the museum.

Today's Strategic HR ? Supporting the achievement of financial ...

Sound Human Resource management is as essential as financial management in today?s business environment. If employees are distracting each other, unmotivated, ill-trained or worse, ignorant of how their efforts either facilitate or detract from company goals, what?s the point of reporting financials and talking about fiscal responsibility?

Every company job must contribute to the bottom line. For HR this means certain competencies are essential:

1. Extensive knowledge of the company?s main lines of business;
2. Knowledge of finance, sales and marketing, efficiency strategies and operations;
3. Knowledge of organizational strategic planning and setting strategic goals;
4. Keen understanding of how division/department action plans support strategic goal achievement;
5. Understanding the variety of talent activities that could support the?achievement?of company goals; and
6. Development of HR strategic plans

Over the last 50 years HR?s mission has changed. ?Gone are the days of ?recruiting qualified candidates? or ?training and staff development.?

• 1960s to 80s ? Recruitment, training and record keeping
• 1980s to 2000 ? Uninterrupted supply of qualified, well-trained employees
• Today ??Align comprehensive talent management with the company?s strategic plan to facilitate the achievement of company goals

For more HR mission statements www.missionstatements.com.?

All company strategic goals including purely technical goals such as finance or IT have numerous and related human resource implications. If a strategic goal is to increase company profitability, consider these human resource-related questions:

1. Do you have the right competencies in the Finance office?
2. Does the CFO have performance problems?
3. What drives revenue? Can people make a difference? Which jobs have key influence in financial success?
4. Are senior leaders held accountable (perf. eval.) for their share of revenue activities?
5. Does the senior leadership team work collaboratively together toward financial ends?
6. Do financial reports provide data that accurately reflect progress toward goals so that management can make sound decisions?
7. Does every employee understand the importance of key financial indicators?
8. Do senior leaders, supervisors, and front line job descriptions include financial end results?
9. Does the compensation program reward good performance in finance?
10. What employee-oriented barriers might interfere with revenue increases?

• Are the barriers attitude-based (uncooperative, disgruntled or toxic employees)?
• Are they competency-based? Performance-based?
• Employee relations-based? Poor engagement, poor management?
• Employee poor health or stress-related? Absenteeism, presenteeism?
• Tools and materials-based?

And finally,

11. Does the corporate culture and values reinforce financial stewardship?

Think strategically and good luck!!

Relationship Advice From Colbie Caillat ? Fresh 102.7

(Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images)

Much of Colbie Caillat?s music details the ups and downs a relationship can bring. ?Lucky? was written with Jason Mraz and tells the story of falling in love with your best friend. Since Colbie has said it?s a song she relates to we had to go straight to the source and ask her: do you tell your guy friend when you?re crushing on him?

Colbie filled CBS Local in on whether or not to tell that guy how you feel as well as what she has learned from her own music. She also admitted that many of her songs are from her friends going through good and bad relationships.

?My song ?Shadow? on the new record I wrote for my best friend Brianna,? she confessed. ?She was dating a guy that wasn?t treating her very well at all. She deserved better but it took her a long time to see that.?

This experience carried over into her live show.

?I tell people at my shows I think you?re better off to be alone than to be with someone who doesn?t treat you right. That?s something else I think about too and I try to tell people,? she said. ?If you?re not getting someone that deserves you and treats you as amazing as you deserve to be treated, then why not be alone and have a fun life and not be told what to do??

So what if someone has a crush on their best friend ? should she tell him? Colbie gave us some insight.

?It depends how the other person is interacting with them. If they think there are signs that the person feels that way,? she said. ?I think anyone would be flattered to know that the other person either has a crush on them or is in love with them. I don?t think it should really affect the friendship. I think everyone would want to know that. I think you should tell him.?

Sometimes even Colbie learns from the songs she has written.

?On my song, ?I Never Told You,? it really does remind me to speak my mind more,? she confessed. ?With songwriting I express my feelings in my songs, but not in person. So every time I sing ?I Never Told You? I remember, ?You know what, tell that person next time.? Whoever it is. If it?s your boyfriend, your friend, or your family member. Tell them what?s on your mind, what?s in your heart because people would rather know than not know.?

-Annie Reuter, CBS Local

EVOLUTIONMAN: Review: Skin Cancer Prevention App

Review: Skin Cancer Prevention App

Earlier this year, we reviewed an app from Solaveil that helped you to put on sunscreen. Now, we have another app for you. Just because you're done with fun in the sun, doesn't mean you don't have any work to do in skincare prevention. Aside from the fact you should be wearing SPF daily, all those days outdoors means you should?monitor?your skin for any changes. Luckily, researchers at the University of Michigan have developed an iPhone app for your phone that makes checking for cancerous moles easy.?


UMSkinCheck?provides tools to help users identify suspicious moles and keep track of them. Since remembering how new a mole is can be hard, you'll have years of scans to help you figure out if it appeared before or after that trip to the beach. Since pictures never lie,the pics saved in this app can provide an accurate representation of your moles for your dermatologist to see. The only con we saw was that you'll need a second person you're comfortable enough with to get naked and take pictures of your skin in various poses, including your bum.?


This app also has other handy tools, including reminding you when you need to perform your self exam, and your yearly full-body scan. All in all, a very handy app that is free for download from the iTunes store.?
