Building Community at Work
Employees and managers alike seek ways to be happy and effective in the workplace--an arena in which we all spend many hours of our week.Community is an essential ingredient in a healthy and productive work environment: when asked what people like about their jobs, it's not uncommon to hear "We're like a family," or "Here, I'm part of a community." Considering the numerous models conceptualized to support creation of emotionally satisfying and behaviorally productive work settings, it is perhaps surprising that the topic of community at work has been underexplored. Based on sound theoretical foundations and empirical findings from the science of management and community research and action, Building Community at Work guides scholars, employees, and leaders of organizations toward creating communities at work in any institutional sector.To make abstract theory concrete, Neil Boyd weaves scientific models and concepts together with the story of a young business owner's journey to becoming an industry leader in building communities.The book also provides practical considerations for professionals to analyze and conceive ways to create communities at work.In Boyd's accessible and grounded analysis, find the building blocks for transforming the workplace into a flourishing community.

Media Work : Language Teaching Through Media Literacy
For language learners finding their way in new environments, the deluge of daily media messages—billboards, signs, videos, movies, memes, and advertisements—may be overwhelming.Yet this media provides engaging, accessible opportunities to teach about linguistic features, representations of people, places, and ideas, and social and cultural topics.With an informed, methodical, and purposeful pedagogy, Media Work can help teachers cultivate students’ critical media literacy skills along with language learning. Media Work offers a practical, hands-on approach to illustrate how language, imagery, and media platforms convey meaning.With almost 100 illustrations for use in teaching and many valuable sample lessons, the book brings to life the processes of observing, interrogating, interpreting, reflecting, and responding to a wide variety of media.Drawing upon critical perspectives from applied linguistics, communication, and media studies (e.g., semiotics, critical discourse analysis, media ecology), it develops a conceptual model that can be adapted for a range of ages and contexts.Chamberlin’s approach enables students to investigate the origins, purposes, and implications of messages that surround them in their everyday lives.With sample topics that range from pets and food to identity and discrimination, teachers can give students opportunities to learn more about their own communities and reflect on their reactions to media messages.By addressing the disinformation and propaganda that are prevalent in today’s media, teachers can also help students confront messages about social issues in order to gain knowledge, confidence, and agency.

How does garden sharing work?
Garden sharing works by connecting people who have available garden space with those who are looking for a place to grow their own plants. The garden owner offers their space to the gardener, who then takes care of the garden and shares the produce with the owner. This arrangement allows people without their own garden space to still enjoy gardening and fresh produce, while also fostering a sense of community and sharing. Garden sharing can be facilitated through online platforms or local community organizations.

Asset Assessments and Community Social Work Practice
The role and importance of assessment in development of health and social services are well accepted in the field, and represent the fundamental building blocks for the creation of any form of social intervention.Need assessments are, without question, the most common form of assessment in these fields.They typically, however, result in a rather narrow view of a community that stresses disease risk profiles and lists of various social problem categories.Nevertheless, unlike needs assessments, asset assessments bring a range of factors and considerations to the creation of an intervention that are guided by participatory democratic principles and processes.Although need assessments can also be guided by participatory principles, they generally are professionally-driven and do not stress capacity enhancement in the process.Asset assessments' emphasis on participatory democracy sufficiently distance themselves from their needs counterpart through the use of values, language used to communicate, and how research methods get conceptualized and carried out.Community asset assessments can be viewed as a goal; a strategy; a set of guiding principles; a method; and a process.These different perspectives make a consensus definition of a capital difficult to arrive at in both scholarly and practice realms.Consequently, it is best to view asset assessments from an evolutionary point of view in order to appreciate the variety of perspectives, tensions, and potential for achieving positive social change.In essence asset assessments are both an instrument of discovery as well as an intervention to achieve community change.

Why doesn't sharing PS5 games work?
Sharing PS5 games doesn't work because the games are tied to the user's account and console. When a game is purchased or downloaded, it is linked to the user's account and can only be accessed by that account on the specific console it was downloaded on. This means that sharing games with friends or family members is not possible unless they are using the same account or console. Additionally, the digital rights management (DRM) system in place for PS5 games restricts sharing and unauthorized use of the games.
-
Why doesn't sharing PS4 games work?
