In the small town of Lewis Creek, baseball is everything. Especially for all-star pitcher Austin Braxton, who has a one-way ticket out of town with his scholarship to a top university. All that stands between him and a new start is one final season. But when Austin starts flunking Chemistry, his picture-perfect future is in jeopardy. A failing grade means zero playing time, and zero playing time means no scholarship. Enter Marisa Marlowe, the new girl in town who gets a job at his momma's flower shop.

There are significant challenges ahead for compensation and benefits professionals this year, but those challenges also provide a wealth of opportunities for the profession and for our organizations. We need to consider taking a broader approach to total compensation—one that eclipses traditional ideas about pay and benefits—to build a fully integrated strategy that leverages total rewards, uses recognition and incentive programs for building and improving engagement and ensures that all facets of compensation are optimized to motivate our workforce and help our companies thrive. This is a deep dive into creating that integrated strategy by outlining the challenges we are facing, addressing how to align compensation and benefits with talent management and building the business case for the merits of investing in employees by measuring the long-term value of human capital assets. This article is intended to help us achieve our objectives and review some innovative tools and trends that can accelerate progress.

This thesis examines the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Neutrality is the primary focus of the thesis, for it is a controversial and complex issue which the ICRC places at the heart of its mandate of humanitarian activity. The controversy surrounding neutrality is not new. Since its inception in 1864, the ICRC has met with criticism concerning its neutral mandate. There has been a general loss of respect for the ICRC neutrality, particularly in cases of civil conflict. ICRC workers are targeted and killed while carrying out their duties, and the neutrality of the Red Cross emblem is currently the source of debate within the organization. This thesis offers new perspectives on the reasons for the apparent lack of respect or recognition of the ICRC's neutrality, and explains why the popular arguments and explanations for this development are lacking. The thesis argues that the popular argument is wrong to argue that war and conflict have changed, and therefore places workers at greater risk. The thesis argues that war itself has not changed, and therefore the popular argument cannot fully explain the attacks on workers, and the loss of respect for the neutral emblem.
