The Best of the Classic Years
King Sunny Adé (Shanachie)
The Rough Guide to Highlife
Various Artists (World Music Network)
When Bob Marley died in 1981, the music industry, unable to find a successor to the mantle of Designated Third-World Superstar in any of Marley's Jamaican peers, began grooming Nigeria's King Sunny Adé for the role. A royal scion who'd begun playing music professionally in his teens, Adé was the most popular performer of "highlife," a pealing, guitar-centered style of hypnotic dance music whose groove had spread throughout the entire African continent. America surely was next. Except, as it turned out, it wasn't. Adé recorded three terrific albums for Island Records in the early '80s, but, after some initial critical excitement, he proved a nonstarter in this country.
It turns out, though, that Adé had already made his greatest work by the time he got the stateside push. The Best of the Classic Years highlights 1969-74, the first six years of his recording career, and it's enough to give even fans of the Island albums pause. Adé's playing is absolutely demonic here: The self-titled first part of the five-song "Sunny Ti De" medley is soul-wrenching guitar talk that evokes Hendrix but never stoops to imitation, and the grooves percolate so friendly throughout it takes a while to notice how intricate they are. The singing is lovely too, but it's secondary to the overall atmosphere, which is enhanced by the 10-to-20-minute lengths that are the rule here.
The bulk of The Rough Guide to Highlife goes back even further, to the horn-led '50s and '60s dance-bands that gave the style its feet, though there are more recent tracks as well, like George Darko's synth-poppy "Hilife Time." Here, the songs are short, though it's probably no coincidence that the best track, Joe Mensah's "Bosoe," is almost 10 minutes and was edited down from a longer version. With no duds and many killers (Sir Victor Uwaifo's "Guitar Boy" and E.T. Mensah's "Medzi Medzi" in particular), deciding which to start with is a toss-up. -- Michaelangelo Matos
Grade (both albums): A
Buzzcocks (Merge)
So my oldest relatives are now getting into the Clash, thanks to the recent media onslaught, and I've always been a superfan, but good God almighty, enough is enough. The Sex Pistols have never had to pine for press: John Lydon's always had a great big mouth, and they are the Brit-punk reference point. (But, being a Svengali's cash cow, they had more in common with the Archies than the supposed meaning of "punk rock.") Then there's the Damned one great album and then kaput. Which brings me to the genre's confusing stepchild: the Buzzcocks.
The Buzzcocks were confusing for the same reasons that they flew heads and shoulders above the other three pillars of first-wave British punk. For one, they were first, and they were independent. Remember that the Pistols and the Clash were major-label from the word go. The Buzzcocks' Spiral Scratch EP was released in early '76, and it stands as the first overseas DIY record of the movement. The Buzzcocks also looked decidedly normal and sang apolitical, asexual (the band is/was split 50/50 in terms of sexual preference) lyrics about the human emotional condition in a wry, cynical tone that betrayed their years. The Buzzcocks didn't hand you a stylish and easy-to-decipher extra-credit lesson on a plate. They afforded the nascent punk movement a balance between overt politics and something a little more challenging. Additionally, they were heavier, faster, louder, catchier, and degrees superior to their contemporaries in sound. A Sex Pistols or Clash fan can easily be someone who is happy owning a large number of greatest-hits CDs; a Buzzcocks fan is a lifer.
The band's reformation in 1989 was a permanent situation, though each subsequent proper album has an unavoidable "reunion" air about it due to the volume of reissues and live documents (from the first wave) released over the past 15 years. Lifers know that the Buzzcocks are four albums into a second wind, starting with 1993's Trade Test Transmission and edging up to 2003 with this eponymous record. Of the four, this is the most energetic and true to the band's first run. Pete Shelley's vocals have been torn into a deeper, almost ruined tone that comes with age or other things, and Buzzcocks poses the inherent problem of a once-seminal post- or pop-punk band making music at this age: Those unfamiliar with the ground originally broken are going to find the new material indistinguishable from younger peers.
Buzzcocks is an album made by half of a band (Steve Diggle and Shelley are the remaining original members) that invented intelligent pop punk, but listeners who don't know that could possibly lump it in with the lowbrow Warped Tour/Fat Wreckords nonsense tainting the world of pop punk. --Andrew Earles
Grade: B-
Feast of Wire
Calexico (Quarterstick)
Tucson-based multi-instrumentalists Joey Burns and John Convertino are perhaps better known as backup for artists such as Neko Case, PJ Harvey, and Howe Gelb's Giant Sand than as Calexico, an indie outfit that draws heavily from the musical traditions of their native American Southwest. But that may change with the release of their ninth full-length, Feast of Wire, which is surely one of the smartest and most impassioned albums we're likely to hear all year.
Like its predecessors, Feast of Wire inhabits the nether-desert that separates America from Mexico, but the band now sounds more comfortable in this setting, and Burns' vision of both countries is confidently epic. For the characters in these songs, for whom "the future looks bleak with no sign of change," the vast, arid Arizona desert is a blessing and a curse, a place to get lost in and a place to lose yourself utterly.
Burns' songwriting sounds newly assured and inventive. On "Not Even Stevie Nicks" he tells of a friend who plays Fleetwood Mac to soundtrack his own suicide: "Not even the priestess with her secret powers could save him," he sings, his voice registering sad-sweet resignation. And the Springsteen storytelling of "Across the Wire" -- about two Mexican brothers crossing the border -- beats just about anything the Boss has done in the past decade.
But Feast of Wire is as much about sounds as it is about words: If Burns' lyrics strike a rare poetic clarity, then Calexico's music surprises even more with its accomplished eclecticism. Burns and Convertino cover mariachi pop ("Across the Wire"), ethereal folk balladry ("Woven Birds"), hipster jazz ("Attack el Robot! Attack!" and "Crumble"), and, most intriguingly, trip-hop ("Black Heart"). And then there are the interludes, long a staple of the band's records, but here they sound inspired by a purpose beyond decoration. Instrumental tracks like "Close Behind" and "Dub Latina" are more than mere set pieces: They conjure a very specific mood that contributes considerably to the album's atmosphere of loneliness.
All of these disparate elements could have made for a fragmented album, but Feast of Wire coheres into something unique mainly because the diverse styles, like spokes on a wheel, all lead to the same dark-hearted, desolate core -- the Western states as both geographical setting and emotional terrain, simultaneously political and personal. --Stephen Deusner

hi there,
I have some issues booting the raspberry pi 2. I tried several os (i.g. raspuntu, raspian) but there is always an error about the initialisation of wlan0. I get this error message and it is repeating on and on. I can't cancel it...
I tried several wifi-dongles like the edimax which runs on my older raspberrys without any problems
Anyone an idea what it might mean?


text: There, that got your attention, didn't it. Now Jon Pipette introduced me to The Young Playthings ages ago (I think it was after the Pipettes Bush Hall show with Circulus) and he's been kind enough to send me a copy of their ace new album Who Invented Love? It's on Smalltown America records and is out tomorrow. I urge you all to rush down to the record stores, or log-on to your preferred music download site and purchase it post haste. I could be silly and say it's worth it for the song that gives this post its title alone, but that would be silly and anyway, we're all far too mature for falling for daft song titles, aren't we? Yes we are. Just as well then that the song sounds just exactly like it ought to. Utterly addictive and full of tense excitement with endorphin rushes of guitars that make a delirious racket. The track that follows it is just as fine too, full of organ driven and guitar crunching smooching do-wop of the 21st Century. And look! The press release has the utterly divine good sense to reference it to the appearance of Linda Scott's 'I've Told Every Little Star' in Mulholland Drive. And as we all know, that is one of the most perfect pieces of Pop music ever created. I swear, the way that one follows Connie Steven's beautiful 'Sixteeen Dreams' in that movie is inspirational and guaranteed to break any heart that dares to dream of how Pop should be. There is something so magically perfect in those songs. They capture the very essence of what we perceive as being more innocent times, and yet they are still sensationally filled with the exquisite ache of sex. I guess the Young Playthings kind of tap into that too, but obviously in a more contemporary way. Sweet, steamy, sensual and stormy, Who Invented Love? is the soundtrack to my week already.

Italian triathlete Angelica Olmo is determined to be as successful in the sport as her Spanish idol Mario Mola.
Olmo has been in awe of the 2017 world champion and world number one since she sought his autograph in 2013.
"Five years ago I was asking Mario for an autograph and now I have had the chance to swim, cycle and run alongside him," the Pavia-born athlete said.
"Mario is the perfect champion and an inspiration for me. He always has a good word and a smile to share."
Olmo spent winter in the Canary Islands at a training camp with another hero, American Katie Zaferes, who is currently dominating the women's ITU World Triathlon Series, and other top athletes.
"We trained intensively every day for three months" Olmo said. "But it was an amazing experience that opened up my eyes. I suddenly realised that my job had become serious."
This golden opportunity coincided with the arrival in January 2017 of Canada's Joel Filliol as Olympic performance director for the Italian team.
Filliol is well known on the triathlon circuit for coaching Mola, Zaferes, and other successful athletes.
But while Mola will not compete at the Glasgow 2018, Olmo will take part in her first senior European Championships.
"Mario taught me that, even if you have a weakness in your triathlon, there is always room to improve. It's a big boost for me," the 2016 under-23 European champion said.
"Being part of this training group made me realise that I am able to work hard and can aim at bigger goals. I am only 22 years old but I want to achieve similar results to them in my career.
"In Glasgow I want to make the top 10, and I believe in our mixed relay team. We are young but our opponents should not underestimate our potential."
When Olmo was 11 years old, she was training as a ballet dancer. Now she is a professional triathlete who achieved her first elite podium with third place at the Astana world cup event last May.
"Triathlon turned my life around," she added. "I made my job my passion, which rarely happens. I feel luckier and luckier every day."
The triathlon competition will take place at Strathclyde Country Park from 9-11 August.

- Experts say that effective surveillance could help control its spread
- Involving international agrochemical companies could aid the fight against it
T. absoluta has affected most parts of northern Nigeria tomato farms in Kaduna state, causing a loss of more than 1 billion naira (about US$3.5 million), leading to rising tomato prices, according to the Centre for Agriculture and Biosciences International (CABI) — an organisation working with African governments and research institutions to monitor the spread of the pest.
"How successful we fight this pest can inform how we can deal with future disease and pest attacks in our agricultural sector."
Joseph Khettima, Fidele Integrated Farms
Washington Otieno, a programme executive of CABI who is based in Kenya, says that his outfit is helping monitor other pests as well and provide farmers with guidance on how to control the pest.
"It's not just affecting farmers' livelihoods but also the country's food security as tomatoes are a staple food in Nigeria," CABI says in a write-up to SciDev.Net last month (16 June).
T. absoluta is not a new disease. Otieno says it was identified in Spain in 2006. The following year it was detected in Algeria, France, Greece, Italy, Libya, Malta and Morocco. In 2009 it was reported from Turkey.
"In Africa, T. absoluta moved from Egypt to reach Sudan, South Sudan and Ethiopia from the east and to Senegal in the west and presently is in most African countries," says Otieno. "It was reported in Nigeria in May 2016."
Otieno adds that data gathered from various sources in Nigeria show that the pest attacks the tomato plant at all stages of growth from seedling till harvest.
He tells SciDev.Net that a single female can lay about 250 eggs at a go that will hatch in one to two days when the larvae begin to feed on the plants. The female can live for 30-40 days having multiple cycles during this period. An active female moth will lay eggs some two days after mating.
"This is a picture of how the pest population can explode within a season if no action is taken to control it. Damage from the pest can reach a 100 per cent of crop failure," Otieno says.
Johnson Onyibe, an agronomist with expertise in agricultural finance at the Nigeria-headquartered International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, says the damage inflicted on the economy is about 80 per cent loss for famers.
"The loss is also high in the tomato value chain, for example, the basket makers, the transporters, the labourers that depend on picking tomatoes, the loaders, network of middlemen or distributors, retailers of tomatoes, the consumers and food restaurants," he explains.

Derrick Rose was joking when he said, "I wish Kurt Thomas was younger" Thursday, but similar to how he feels about shooting guard Keith Bogans, he won't be all smiles if the league's oldest player isn't back in a Bulls uniform.
When Joakim Noah was sidelined, Thomas stepped in admirably, allowing young reserves Taj Gibson and Omer Asik to develop into a formidable big-man duo off the bench. Thomas played tough (if not frequently airborne) interior defense, subtly setting hard, effective screens and even occasionally contributing on offense with his accurate mid-range jumper.
Thomas was seen as a veteran locker-room presence and insurance for the team's inside depth, but in addition to being one of the most popular players among his teammates and filling in ably for Noah, he's also one of coach Tom Thibodeau's favorites, going back with the coach to their days together in New York.
Whether Thomas is re-signed or not will probably come down to money, but if he isn't back in Chicago -- privately his preference, as he enjoyed his time in the Windy City and believes the Bulls are close to winning a title -- don't be shocked if he makes a return to the Big Apple, as the Knicks reportedly covet him as a backup to injury-prone All-Star Amar'e Stoudemire.
So, as much as Rose wishes he could have played with the younger version of Thomas -- one of the few players in the NBA to experience the last lockout -- he'll settle for one more campaign with the current model.

It's that time of year again! The month of August is our kickoff to The SPARK Awards season and when we ask you, the public – readers of The Commercial Appeal – to help us thank the organizations and individuals who are leading by example, giving back, and making a difference in the Mid-South, by nominating them for a SPARK Award. There are 13 categories covering individuals of different ages (youth, college student, adult), nonprofits and corporations of various sizes, then education with a school, teacher, and education leader, like a principal or college dean. There's also a Legacy Award to honor someone's efforts and impact over the course of many years or a lifetime.
This will be our fourth year of producing The SPARK Awards, which is a televised awards show that airs on WKNO/Channel 10 in December, during the holiday season. The show is produced in partnership by cityCURRENT and WKNO-TV; and it grew from the success of our monthly show, The SPARK, which is now in its fifth year on WKNO. With both shows our goal is simple: to spotlight the GOOD taking place in our city and how we can become a SPARK to make an even larger difference and help more people. Our belief is that we need to SEE the GOOD that takes place each and every day, so we understand there is GOOD in this world and in our city, and that by showcasing the GOOD, the lessons learned and how to get involved, we can inspire more people to join in the effort. The SPARK Awards, being publicly nominated, allows us to find, honor and celebrate even more of our hometown heroes, who do GOOD each and every day, yet don't seek out attention; so it truly is a special opportunity for us to all work together to inspire our city.
Click Here to Submit Your Nomination - Open August 1-31, 2017.
Visit SPARKawardsTV.com or click the button above to cast your nominations for individuals and organizations who are making a difference. The nomination phase closes at 5:00 PM CST on Thursday, August 31, 2017, so that's your deadline. You can nominate one person or cast nominations in each category. No preference or weighting is given to multiple nominations for the same individual or organization, though. The things you'll want to highlight and criteria for judging are based on taking a leadership role in initiatives or efforts that better our community, volunteerism and impact.
Once the nomination phase ends on August 31, all of the nominations will be handed over to our partners at the Midtown Memphis Rotary Club, who serve as our independent judges for the awards and show. They'll select the winners who we'll ultimately interview and spotlight during the special televised broadcast of The SPARK Awards 2017 later this year. This is a totally FREE, public, nomination-driven honor and way for us to thank our community champions and hometown heroes, so cast your nominations today!

Is buy to let a good investment?
The short answer to this is no, yes or maybe. For some investors the buy-to-let market has proved very lucrative and successful and will fund a very comfortable retirement and lifestyle. For others it has provided stratospheric wealth well beyond their initial expectations. However, for some unlucky individuals it has been one of the worst experiences of their lives and a costly mistake.
The lettings market at the moment has never been in such a state of flux. Legislation affecting landlords appears to change on a daily basis and adherence to these changes can be critical to their continued prosperity. Falling foul of these sometimes minor technicalities can at the least stop an eviction and at the worst result in a severe financial penalty. There have been significant changes to tax law in regard to the buy-to-let market and in 2019 the tenant fees ban will come into force, which will forbid agents from charging tenants referencing or other fees. We'll skip over the rights or wrongs of all sides of this particular argument, what will definitely happen over time is that landlord fees will rise, so will rents and numbers of unscrupulous and fraudulent tenants will also rise for the unwary.
Looking forward buy-to-let still looks a good bet for many people. I would suggest that the one buy-to let property as a retirement vehicle may not be the best strategy, although this was always the most fragile investment vehicle as one bad tenant or agent could ruin it. For the professional investor adding to their portfolio then action can be taken to mitigate the changes and business will continue as usual. The investor with plans to build a portfolio from scratch could really seize the moment though.
Many accidental and single or small portfolio landlords are selling and realising the asset, leaving an opportunity to purchase a competitively priced property, in good condition with a tenant in situ. This is a great basis upon which to realise instant capital value and monthly income. There are now a great number of buy-to-let deals available and even an increasing number of buy-to-let mortgages available for limited companies should you wish to take advantage of the tax breaks that a limited company vehicle may offer.
More than ever a good letting agent will prove their worth over the next few years in helping to source and build a profitable portfolio and protect the landlord from making potentially life changing errors. Our letting team are always available to discuss the current market and how we can help and we're quite willing to spend time with those looking to embark on building a portfolio but just want questions answered. For those questions that we can't answer then we'll always be able to point you in the direction of people who can, from accountants to specialist solicitors and wealth advisors.

As the recent rush of documentaries has shown, hoarding makes good TV. Visual, personal and emotive. And while there is a need for better understanding, sympathy and awareness of hoarding in society generally, it's important the focus is on practical help and not some kind of spectacle.
Hoarders can be dealing with complex and serious personal issues. Research has suggested links to past trauma or particular mental health conditions, obsessive-compulsive disorder, drug misuse, dementia, depression, anxiety, or ingrained family traits. The more I speak with people who hoard the more its clear that causes are individual, which makes providing help and support even more of a challenge. The root appears to be insecurity of one kind or another, but why they hoard and what they hoard is often very different. Consequences are more similar: poor health, physical danger, high clear-out costs and repair bills.
I've been working with the Orbit care and repair team (part of the Orbit Group), its staff and some of its tenants on hoarding for the past 10 months. It's all part of a project to create a multi-agency use toolkit to deal with hoarding, and is just one research area being looked at within Coventry University's Age Research Centre. This has involved talking to Orbit caseworkers and hoarders supported by Orbit care and repair about their experiences and what works, and getting involved in finding solutions for individual cases – all important evidence for finally bringing together a package of practical advice which could be used across the UK.
What's been clear immediately is the long-term management needed to help people who hoard. An issue is flagged up, dealt with in the most appropriate way, but that's rarely the end of the problem. Re-referrals on hoarding cases are very common and the longer situations go on the harder they are to deal with. Low awareness about hoarding behaviour or reluctance to get involved by those working in the community has often meant that in the past cases haven't been necessarily picked up by services. I've been dealing with people who talked about their hoarding dating from the 1990s. A real challenge is getting hoarders to acknowledge they have any kind of problem – they don't see what other people might see – and often deny they feel any kind of anxiety.
In starting to deal with cases, we encourage people not to add to their collection. Obviously this is also incredibly tough for many, as they have a compulsion to buy or collect more things, the more they have around them the more secure they feel. At this stage it's possible to start organising things, not taking anything away, but just to create a safer environment – clearing pathways in corridors and ensuring access to facilities and exits. Getting this far means a platform of safety from which to start exploring specific causes and help.
The critical first step is to build up levels of personal trust. Hoarding is an intensely personal issue, in my experience there is not a quick fix, therefore various approaches will be required. I've been working recently with a lady who's making some good progress. We let her know that she was always the one in charge. It wasn't about discarding her belongings, just making sure she was safe. And in this way we've managed to get one room to be reasonably clear, to give her some proper living space, and also helped to overcome her fear of machines, allowing her to use the washing machine for example. Listening to the client also identified an outside occupational interest of working with computers, which led to looking into college course that she could attend and helped improve motivation and self-esteem.
All these kinds of experiences, as well as insights from professional staff working in different areas relating to hoarding will be used for the toolkit, providing a method for assessment, evidence from experiences. That way, some of the better awareness which is being generated through media, can be matched by professional interventions on the ground.

How do you calculate your BMI ?
In order to determine your corpulence, the BMI system takes into account your gender, your size and weight. Results are what are gonna suggest your basal mass index.
It's important to realize the BMI is only a point of reference. If you choose to adopt a specific diet, you should reach for a specialized doctor.
How do I translate the BMI result ?
The results coming from the BMI calculation are divided into 7 categories of corpulence. These categories are based on statistics between mortality rate and BMI :
- If the BMI is below 16,5, it goes into the malnourishment category
- If the BMI is between 16,5 and 18,5 it goes into the leanness category
- If the BMI is between 18,5 and 25 it goes into the normal category
- If the BMI is between 25 and 30, it goes into the overweight category
- If the BMI is superior to 30, it goes into the obesity category. Then, there's 3 levels of obesity :
- Moderate obesity : for a BMI between 30 and 35
- Severe obesity : for a BMI between 35 and 40
- Morbid obesity : for a BMI superior to 40
Calculate your BMI, to what end ?
The BMI calculation is essential to know the consequences your fat mass and weight can have on your health. A detailed BMI calculation will even give you more informations.
Depending on your age, morphology and activity, you will know your basal metabolism. A basal metabolism is the energy spent while your body's resting. This can change drastically from one person to another.
The detailed BMI calculation can help you discover your "healthy weight", or ideal weight. This is more precise than the classic BMI because it will tell you which weight will have the less impact on your health. Expressed in pounds, this will tell you exactly the road to take from the weight you are right now.
All these facts are important for a complete health check-up. The calculation of your BMI is the first step to a complete sense of well-being !

More tracks about love and heart break of course! Haha but you can expect a good mix of different songs. Everything from catchy pop songs to a laid back ballad recorded in our living room!
Is writing your own music important to you?
So important! We really wanna feel that connection to the song that you get if it comes from the heart in the beginningJ Easier to project that live!
Where do you draw your influences from?
From every day life! We're writing stories from our lives but also from stuff that we might have seen a friend go through or something like thatJ
How would you describe your music?
Pop with a singer/songwriter angle on it.
You have a very musical family - Have they been providing you guidance?
Definitely! We've been growing up arpund instruments and in studios and stuff so we kinda grew into the music scene naturally with lots of good advice from home!

So when can we expect the album to drop?
7th of March, booom!

Donkey Pools, Charnley Station, Kimberley
The Donkey Pool trailhead is a 9km 4WD drive from the Charnley River Wilderness Camp. There are actually three separate but very pretty pools in a watercourse that is a rushing torrent in the wet season. The furthest pool is a 630metre one-way hike. To get to all three pools requires quite a bit of rock scrambling.

Up at 6 am, gone to Napier by 7 am, worked at SEW our factory, then dinner with my sister and the drive home to Tokomaru by 10 pm. Joys of being self-employed, totally my choice. I was told today that "I'm lucky" I hate that. It's not luck, a Lotto win is luck. It's high risk, hard work, time away from my kids, self-belief and gritty determination.
Came in the door, chucked in a load of washing, patted the dogs, checked my sleeping kids, looked in the fridge (habit I do at everyone's house, looking for inspiration) and… nooooo… washing machine leak. Some things can wait till the morning, house work makes you ugly. I'll pretend I never saw it, surprise for Kiwi in the morning. I'll act all surprised, he'll be up first and see it first and feel he must sort it.
Wife of the year, not tonight, I'm tired, bed for me.

I'm inspired by a presentation I saw Brendon Burchard make in which he said that at the end of our lives, each of us wants to be able to say "YES!" to 3 questions:
1. Did I live?
2. Did I love?
3. Did I matter?
Too often questions like these make us think about life outside of work. But they apply equally to life at work - as a matter of fact, they track with my definition of leadership.
"Leadership is using the greatness in you to achieve and sustain extraordinary outcomes by engaging the greatness in others."
Here's how Brendon's 3 questions and the 3 parts of my definition are so closely tied and why putting on your mantle of leadership is the way you can live the YES!
Did I Live?
"Leadership is using the greatness in you…
Did I Matter?
…to achieve and sustain extraordinary outcomes…
Did I Love?
…by engaging the greatness in others."
Now, if you haven't read No Ceiling, No Walls, I strongly recommend that you do. In addition to explaining the research behind the leadership definition and why it's so powerful, you'll also learn:
- That anyone at any level can put on a mantle of leadership – and you can too.
- What it means and what's required to achieve and sustain extraordinary outcomes. You might think this is obvious, but 95% of women I work with don't know this.
- The Missing 33%™ - what it is, why it's essential for you to close the gap and how to turn what's missing into The Secret 33% of your career success equation.
- A host of other important stuff you'll need to wear the mantle of leadership with grace and authenticity.
Did I Love?
First, know that when I speak about loving at work, I am not talking about the American over-emphasis on sexual intimacy. This should go without being said, but it's safer to explicitly define what I mean by loving at work. Here goes.
Loving at work means 5 things:
1. Support – Everyone around you has goals. If you're in contact with them in the course of your work life that automatically means that you are in a position to help them meet their goals - whether to deliver a promised product or service on time and to high quality or to grow as a professional.
2. Honor - believing that, just as you have elements of personal greatness (attributes, skills, values, worldview, etc.), so does everyone you work with. It will serve you to look for and find the greatness in each person you interact with!
3. Assume positive intent - carrying into every interaction the belief that everyone is doing his or her best for where they are at the moment. Virtually no one comes to work wanting to do a bad job. Indra Nooyi, CEO PepsiCo, speaks about this when she says, "My father was an absolutely wonderful human being. From him I learned to always assume positive intent. Whatever anybody says or does, assume positive intent. You will be amazed at how your whole approach to a person or problem becomes very different. When you assume negative intent, you're angry. If you take away that anger and assume positive intent, you will be amazed. Your emotional quotient goes up because you are no longer almost random in your response. You don't get defensive. You don't scream. You are trying to understand and listen because at your basic core you are saying, 'Maybe they are saying something to me that I'm not hearing.' So 'assume positive intent'..." This advice has shaped her persona at work. This is why the former PepsiCo CEO described her as "a deeply caring person" who "can relate to people from the boardroom to the front line."
4. Protect - carrying into every interaction the superordinate goal of protecting the other's self esteem. Even when you have to deliver a very difficult message, you can do it in a way that leaves the other person whole.
5. Encourage – Whether it's to uplift someone who's feeling down or to give a "you can do it" to someone who is daunted by a task, take advantage of opportunities to show loving concern by offering encouragement.
This is what loving at work means. You SHAPE in a positive way the experience people have when they interact with you – even if it's on negative messaging.
Oh, and one more thing. I can't tell you how many women have said to me, "I want to help people, so I want to go into HR (or become a trainer, become a consultant or become a coach)."
This disheartens me. If you've ever felt this way, recognize that it's a sign that you don't see the opportunities in your job or the jobs of people above you to SHAPE other's experiences by engaging their greatness. Yes, sometimes the news is bad, but right where you are and where you might advance to your opportunities to love the people you work with and help them are amazing! Don't pass them up.
Answering YES!
Think about the people you must engage in order to successfully take action on your outcomes above. Here there are two important categories:
- Those you need to reach out to. These are people who you need to connect with in order to make progress on your outcomes. By the way, you might not have a name, but a category. For example, to develop your ROI analysis for a new idea you might have to engage "someone from finance who can help with number crunching."
- Those you need to respond to. These are people who have reached out to you in partnership for mutually beneficial progress on outcomes. I like to remind you here that your boss is automatically one of them. Your success is interdependently related to boss' success.
Then, think about what greatness in them will you tap….and how? Will you make a sincere acknowledgement of Chris' creativity? How about a sincere thank you for the recommendation Pat made? Or perhaps a courageous ask that Lee step up to a higher level of performance because you know it's in her/his power? Or you might know of someone who needs a warm hello or expression of sympathy. And, that person in finance, you'll be sure to verbally honor his or her financial expertise. These are the kinds of reflections to write here.
Then, and most importantly, what messages will you use to align them to your key outcomes? It's not enough for you to engage the greatness in others. Remember this:
Being known for your amazing interpersonal skills gets you only so far in your career. To have great success you must use your strong relationships to align others to the key outcomes of the organization.
As Anne Mulcahy, former CEO and chairman of Xerox and chairman of Save the Children, made abundantly clear recently when she said, "The most powerful thing you can do in a company is to create alignment, and that happens with effective communication."

Knowing what a huge mule/clog fan I am, Cape Clogs graciously sent me a pair of Wooly Clogs to review. My first impression was that they look like attic insulation with all the speckles of different colors.
Cape Clogs come in EURO sizes, so I requested a size 38 which is equivalent to a size 7/7.5 US size. But they must run big, as when I wore them yesterday, I had a hard time keeping them on. I wore them again today with thicker socks and they were much better. Even though they don't look it, they are extremely comfortable.
I think I would have preferred the look of these Tartan Red Plaid Cape Clogs better. But I'm really glad I didn't get the Silver Swedish Clogs (below), as they look like aluminum foil insulation!
Cape Clogs is known for making most of their shoes with crafted by one of Scandinavia's oldest and most respected clog makers. Cape Clogs are available from DesignerShoes.com and Endless.com.

text: 'The Ranch': TV Review 1:00 PM PDT 3/29/2016 by Daniel Fienberg FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Greg Gayne/Netflix The Ranch S01E02 Still - H 2016 Easy to overlook, but don't. TWITTER 4/1/2016 Ashton Kutcher, Sam Elliott and Debra Winger shine when Netflix's multicam sitcom about a Colorado ranching family gets serious. While "showy" and "attention-grabbing" are the watchwords of Netflix's mission, the streaming giant's new comedy The Ranch may be designed to be overlooked, or at least underestimated. A multicamera sitcom created by a pair of Two and a Half Men veterans (Don Reo and Jim Patterson) and driven by a reunion of That '70s Show stars (Ashton Kutcher and Danny Masterson) is an invitation for derision if you're glib or dismissal if you're just too busy to pay attention. Those who take either approach will be missing something surprising in The Ranch, which turns out to be unexpectedly sensitive, well-acted and formally adventurous, in addition to often being broadly funny. The Ranch features Kutcher as Colt, a former high school football sensation nearing the end of a mostly disappointing semi-pro career. Plagued by physical impediments and the stench of disappointment, Colt returns to the Colorado family ranch he abandoned 15 years earlier. No longer a hero, he's greeted with skepticism by his father Beau (Sam Elliott) and mockery by his brother Rooster (Danny Masterson), who have struggled to keep the ranch going, and loving tolerance by his mother Maggie (Debra Winger), who runs a local watering hole, lives in a trailer and still sneaks over for quickies with her not-quite-ex. Colt's hometown return includes reconnecting with the high school flame he left behind (Elisha Cuthbert's Abby) and coming to terms with his failures and his future. You come into The Ranch with quick assumptions and some early punchlines impugning Colt's masculinity due to his love of Uggs seem to confirm, but it quickly emerges that an unexpected set of elements are coming together here. The Ranch has a somewhat typical 20-minute network comedy as its foundation. It's initially odd and disarming to hear the frequent four-letter words allowed by Netflix, but other than a brief and random glimpse of Kutcher's rear, the content barriers aren't being pushed very far. Most of the sex talk is still driven by double-entendres and the audience is generally amused, but rarely at a grating volume, by pop culture references, gruff-and-dismissive father figures, animal bodily functions and statutory rape jokes that aren't all that funny, but generally tend to be directed mockingly at the arrested development of Colt and Rooster. It's not always hilarious, but there's no denying Kutcher and Masterson's trained proficiency with the format, Elliott's absolute mastery of a withering put-down or Winger's relaxed bemusement with the men in her life. The Ranch also finds respectful humor in the economic difficulties and political variations in this world. Even calling this part of the show "somewhat typical" might be underselling what Reo, Patterson and director David Trainer are attempting. The show's look is an unusual artificial naturalism that plays off what you normally get from multicam comedies. Rarely overlit and stagnant, The Ranch embraces a staged darkness, whether in Maggie's bar or the intriguingly expansive space between Beau's porch and the spread of the ranch. With the audience holding laughter to a respectable volume, The Ranch layers in a sound design that's also immersive beyond the format's normal standards, ranging from the country songs woven throughout or the rural Foley work. These are things most viewers will just process as "strange," but they're the foundation for what makes this series truly interesting. If Netflix's comedies haven't always justified their padded running times, The Ranch uses that extra room to breath. Episodes go 30-ish minutes and the additional material tends to leave punchlines behind in favor of emotional interactions that ring consistently true. In comedic mode, this isn't an especially interesting character for Kutcher, but I don't know if he's ever done better dramatic work than the glimpses he gives into Colt's insecurities and his own role in his shattered aspirations. Elliott digs deep enough to let us see how Beau's stubbornness is both a way of life and a defense mechanism, and there are unfolding, joke-free scenes with Elliott and Winger that make this into one of the relatable spousal relationships you'll see on TV. Those bonus minutes let Masterson's Rooster go from the cast's perhaps-too-sitcom-y weak link in the early episodes to a much less creepy asset by the end of the first run of 10 episodes sent to critics. Not being beholden to the rigor of gags and setups allows the writers and co-star Kelli Goss to turn Colt's waitress love interest Heather from the jiggly butt of initial jokes into a character with spark and spine. The threat of a lost farm or wasted dreams have stakes. The Ranch operates with two different rhythms and leading with what seems hacky and familiar actually makes it even more satisfying when Kutcher lands a regretful beat, when Winger and Elliott make you care about this strained multi-decade marriage or when Elliott reciting the plot of Shane to an ailing cow makes you just a bit teary. While not as dramatically daring as CBS' Mom or as perception-challenging as The Carmichael Show, The Ranch is part of a new breed of multicams trying to remove the stigma from the genre. It's a process of innovation that isn't without bumps. There's a critique of contemporary Western masculinity here that's sometimes savvy, but sometimes gets undermined by shticky jokes about traditional gender roles. There's a stab at authenticity that's hobbled by an essentially all-white representation of a state with a surging Latino population. And It isn't always clear that the series knows how to make its female characters funny, though at least it's trying to give all of them dimension. Most of the criticisms I have for The Ranch come from seeing past what it looks like on its surface and how it's being sold in its trailers; they're criticisms that come from also understanding that there's a lot to enjoy here if you don't sell it short, and a lot to respect if the show continues not to sell itself short.

While I was with him a young priest also arrived to visit another resident. He asked if he could "say hello" to Mgr Miles and, as the three of us chatted, I asked him how he came to know the Monsignor. His reply was: "Everybody knows – or knows of – Mgr Fred Miles."
On another occasion, I accompanied Mgr Miles to a celebratory Mass at Allen Hall seminary. Monsignor and I sat in the congregation, while a number of priests concelebrated the Mass with Westminster's Vicar General, Mgr Seamus O'Boyle. The priests processed up the aisle and, as Mgr O'Boyle drew level with us, he paused, reached over and shook the hand of Mgr Miles, before continuing his procession.
I think those two little stories speak volumes about the way Fred Miles is regarded in the Diocese of Westminster and beyond, and of the high esteem in which he is held. Everybody seems to know his name and everybody seems to have great respect and/ or affection for him.
I first came to know Mgr Miles when he was the rector of St James's, Spanish Place in central London, and my parish priest. I began to offer him some help when his eyesight began to suffer as a result of macular degeneration. I have only really got to know him well since his retirement in 1998. As I helped him compile his light-hearted memoirs, I learned more and more about the man and his life.
Frederick Anthony Miles was born in 1925 in Dunmow, Essex – number five out of six children born to very Irish parents. (Fred can summon up a great Irish accent, although his natural accent is the sort of English you would expect from an 84-year-old former English teacher, with an eagle eye for accuracy of pronunciation and syntax). He knew from the age of nine that he wanted to be a priest and, after being turned down by Bishop Doubleday of Brentwood (who was ever-mindful of budgetary constraints), he was accepted at the age of 12 by Cardinal Hinsley of the Diocese of Westminster. His association with Westminster, therefore, goes back about 73 years.
Freddie Miles was schooled and trained at St Edmund's College and Seminary in Ware, and ordained on July 16 1950.
He then studied at Christ's College, Cambridge, before returning to St Edmund's as a teacher and, later, housemaster. I have taken Mgr Miles back to his alma mater a number of times to celebrate St Edmund's feast. These are always wonderful occasions when many of the old Edmundians gather for the celebrations. It is truly touching to see how many of his former pupils – some now sporting silver hair – approach their former master and greet him with genuine affection and almost reverence. And not a little awe. I do remember one former pupil of his whispering, wide-eyed, to me: "He was very strict, you know." I turned and repeated this observation to Mgr Miles and before he could comment, the "pupil" added: "But fair. Very fair." I had a feeling he feared being given detention for his remark. So there: strict, but fair. The blueprint for all teachers, I think.
In 1966, Fred Miles was taken away from St Edmund's and moved up to Archbishop's House, Westminster, where he was to stay for about 11 years as private secretary, first to Cardinal John Heenan and then to Cardinal Basil Hume. It was during this time that – unknown to him for many years – he earned the moniker "Fierce Fred". We must assume that this was because of his Rottweiller instincts in protecting the cardinals from matters which could be dealt with by others.
Despite his own initial misgivings, Mgr Miles enjoyed his time at Archbishop's House. He developed a wonderful rapport with Cardinal Heenan in particular; they shared a similar sense of humour – probably because of their joint Irish roots. It was a sad day when John Heenan died, but Fred Miles made sure that his wish to be buried at ground-floor level in the Cathedral, rather than in the crypt like his predecessors, were adhered to.
"I want people to see my grave, remember me and pray for me," said the cardinal. In order to achieve this, Mgr Miles spoke to the then Prime Minister, Harold Wilson, who readily granted permission for the request saying: "Go ahead; if any objection is raised I shall have an Order in Council, and make it retrospective."
In 1977, after two years working with Basil Hume, Mgr Miles was placed at St James's in Spanish Place. And there he stayed for 21 years. He says these were the happiest years of his life – mostly because of the immense affection and kindness of his parishioners. I recall his director of music, Dr Terry Worroll, telling me that he was very nervous at the prospect of Fierce Fred's tenure at Spanish Place. And yet, it was Terry who delivered the ultimate accolade some years ago when he said: "Everyone is a better person for knowing Mgr Miles."
It was his failing eyesight which made Mgr Miles go – with reluctance – to the Cardinal in 1998 and ask to be relieved of his duties at Spanish Place. He realised that it was becoming too hard to read the Missal and Lectionary during Mass, and he felt that was unfair on his congregation. And so he retired to be cared for by the Little Sisters of the Poor in Vauxhall, which is where he still is – loved by Sisters and staff alike for his humility, humour and for being no trouble to anyone.
In 84 years he has done a great deal; achieved a great deal, affected a great number of people. As a priest, his work is to inspire, to lead by example, to care for his flock, to preach and teach. So, what have I learned from him? I've learned what to aim for: absolute honesty; genuine interest in and deep concern for others; great generosity; utter humility; absolute acceptance of those things which cannot be changed and endless patience.
I have learned that Freddie Miles has a wonderful sense of humour and, more than that, fun. Many is the time I have seen him rock with laughter. Oh, and I have also learned that he's a bit fond of rugger (not rugby!) – and I think that is called litotes. And that he scored a try in the final of the inter-college rugger match (the Cuppers) at Cambridge, which Christ's won for the first time in 400 years. A paragon is the name given to a perfect diamond. As we congratulate Mgr Freddie Miles on his diamond jubilee of ordination, would it be going too far to call him a paragon? I know what his answer would be.
