We propose a synthesis of two lines of sociological research on boundary spanning in cultural production and consumption. One, research on cultural omnivorousness, analyzes choice by heterogeneous audiences facing an array of crisp cultural offerings. The other, research on categories in markets, analyzes reactions by homogeneous audiences to objects that vary in the degree to which they conform to categorical codes. We develop a model of heterogeneous audiences evaluating objects that vary in typicality.
How do people feel when they benefit from an unfair reward distribution? Equity theory predicts negative emotion in response to over-reward, but sociological research using referential standards of justice drawn from status-value theory repeatedly finds positive emotional responses to over-reward.
In conversational storytelling, the recipients are expected to show affiliation with the emotional stance displayed by the storytellers. We investigated emotional arousal-related autonomic nervous system responses in tellers and recipients of conversational stories. The data consist of 20 recordings of 45- to 60-minute dyadic conversations between female university and polytechnic students. Conversations were videotaped and analyzed by means of conversation analysis (CA), with a special emphasis on the verbal and nonverbal displays of affiliation in storytelling.
I tackle some major criticisms addressed to Pierre Bourdieu's notion of habitus by foregrounding its affinities with Ludwig Wittgenstein's notion of rule-following. To this end, I first clarify the character of the habitus as a theoretical device, and then elucidate what features of Wittgenstein's analysis Bourdieu found of interest from a methodological viewpoint. To vindicate this reading, I contend that Wittgenstein's discussion of rule-following was meant to unearth the internal connection between rules and the performative activities whereby rules are brought into life.
As work regimes become global, social communication increasingly occurs across locations far apart. In the absence of a common national, ethnic, or organizational culture across continents, what makes communication possible among social worlds technologically integrated in real time? Taking India's global call centers as the focus of analysis, this article attempts to solve the riddle of communication by showing how transnational business practices rely on the transmutation of cultural communication into global communication through the processes of neutralization and mimesis.
Americans love crime. The criminal justice system is fetishized in popular culture and news media. We watch the news and scour the Internet to assess our own moral compass, take cues from others' digressions, and bear witness to justice and punishment. Historically, we learned about crime through news media and fiction. The Internet has dramatically changed this landscape: for the first time, mug shots and jailhouse rosters are available with a click.
Youth cyberbullying is dramatically more likely to occur between current or former friends and dating partners than between students who were never friends or in a romantic relationship, suggests a new study that was presented at the 111th Annual Meeting of the American Sociological Association (ASA).
Death and mourning were largely considered private matters in the 20th century, with the public remembrances common in previous eras replaced by intimate gatherings behind closed doors in funeral parlors and family homes.
But social media is redefining how people grieve, and Twitter in particular — with its ephemeral mix of rapid-fire broadcast and personal expression — is widening the conversation around death and mourning, two University of Washington (UW) sociologists say.
ASA speaks with sociologist Dustin Kidd at the 2016 ASA Annual Meeting on August, 2016, in Seattle, WA. Kidd talks about what it means to "do sociology," how he uses sociology in his work, highlights of his work in the field, the relevance of sociological work to society, and his advice to students interested in entering the field.

In 1929, a businessman and economist by the name of Jerome Levy didn't like what he saw in his analysis of corporate profits. He sold his stocks before the October crash.
Almost eight decades later, the consultancy company that bears his name declared "the next recession will be caused by the deflating housing bubble." By February 2007, it predicted problems in the subprime-mortgage market would spread "to virtually all financial markets." In October 2007, it saw imminent recession -- the slump began two months later. (more)

NSWNA Assistant General Secretary Judith Kiejda has been elected as Vice President of Unions NSW – the peak body representing unions in NSW.
The NSWNA is an affiliate of Unions NSW and the appointment gives the NSWNA a continuing seat at the executive table and a stronger voice in debate and decision making by the State's peak union body.
'I see my appointment as a vehicle to promote retention of public services,' said Judith.
'My motivation comes from deep concern about the Government's plans to privatise two of the State's major prisons, Cessnock and Parklea. Privatisation would make jails less safe for nurses working in the prison system, and it would likely result in poorer health outcomes for the prisoner population and the wider community.
'If we are not vigilant, the writing is on the wall for the privatisation of many public services and possibly health services' said Judith.
'I hope my contribution will help not only retain what we have but build those services. We're a big union and we can use our influence to help the community understand the importance of the public services, particularly in these uncertain times when the need for such services is at a premium.'

The good news? Denver ranked 5th in the most friendly cities for young entrepreneurs in the United States. The bad news? A need to reveal that this wasn't the most "systematic" of studies. One may call the metrics used a little "casual". The group conducting the poll, Under30CEO, which is an online resource for young entrepreneurs, failed to provide a lot of information about its polling parameters.
Why Denver ranked #5 – Must Be The Starbucks
Among the items that the voters were asked to consider were climate, the social scene, schools, local events and "other resources". By "other resources" I assume they mean Starbucks? I know for fact that there are more than a couple in the Cherry Creek Mall 🙂
Denver & The Rest of The Top 10
1. New York
2. San Francisco
3. Austin
4. Boston
5. Denver
6. Chicago
7. San Diego
8. Portland, Ore
9. Washington DC
10. Seattle
All kidding aside, in my opinion this list seems strangely "accurate" from an anecdotal and "experimental" lens.
Example from the experimental angle: "Connectivity" is one of the foundations of any new enterprise across almost any industry – more so every day in our "web 5.0" culture. Denver's consistent annual accolades as one of the "wifi Cities USA" (#7 in 2010; #8 in 2009 per Forbes) is just one way to justify Denver's ability to more than kindly accommodate the young entrepreneur. Maybe there was something to the Starbucks!
I'd argue that the addition of a commonly used "cost of living" metric would've placed Denver right behind Austin.
Why Denver's Rank May Be Conventionally "So Wrong", But Feel & BE So Right
The fun with these lists is they're inherently flawed. Some do better than others, but you can always pick them apart…and in many cases, you should. Even the most highly respected indices — S&P/Case-Shiller Home Prices for example –need to be challenged. As an active writer (I use that term loosely!) and Realtor in DC, I've had many opportunities to challenge "prestige housing indices" — as they forget that real estate is most responsibly studied on hyper local levels…but that's another post!
Sometimes it's refreshing to take a look at "flawed" city reports because they often show that the high priced "wonks" in the large research firms are crunching big numbers to make news when all they have to do is ask a few people on the street. In this case, there's a beauty in a more than imperfect simplicity because, in my opinion, it reflected the reality — metrics, or not :-). In this sense, I'd say the young lads over at Under30CEO did okay.
So cheers to you, Denver!

As I've mentioned, I'm an innie. I like my schtuff secured neatly away behind a door, curtain, or screen. If that's the case for my large items, it is doubly the case for my paperwork and other such small items. I am a serious fan of the file system. In my mind, I have addressed the mess if it is neatly organized in a folder. And then in a file.
And I like my files color coded. I have a huge pile of old folders in various colors on stand- by, waiting to be called up into active duty.
Brown files are used for the house… green for all things financial…gray for all things auto… red is insurance. (Come to think of it, since we currently use Blue Cross, those files ought to be reassigned to blue…) The girls are filed in purple unless it relates to college. Then, it would be orange. Can anyone relate?
I have a massive four drawer filing cabinet on The List, but I have no decent place to keep it in the house proper. Instead, I have mini files in various places around this house. My favorite file spot is behind a door in the den closet. Not only do I have a two drawer filing cabinet full of files in there, but I also keep a standing file on top of it for those items that I want at my fingertips.
I know that if I have to take the extra millisecond to actually open a filing cabinet drawer, I will probably just leave said item in the horizontal waiting room. And that would be a mess magnet.
It's my little magnetic "to be filed" nook. Seriously, I'm pretty sure this inniesim is a psychological disorder. Perhaps The Practical One will do her masters thesis on it.
And that leads me to my Wednesday morning purge session.
This morning, as I was trying to locate a recent email, I discovered that my obsessive innieism has now entered the computer age. In my inbox alone, I had PAGES of emails. To deal with my emails, I have set up a variety of e- folders for the messages that I feel the need to
So this morning, I sat with my coffee for a few HOURS and tried to do a little purge of my e- hoarding. I purged email folders. Then, I headed over to Favorites Paradise, where I have also utilized the e- folder system. That would be the reason that I had to scroll past 29 folders before I could reach the link to the aforementioned email to begin with.
I have e-folders for Bible study, for blogs, for message boards, for recipes, for decorating, for crafts… I have one folder simply named "orange". Good grief. Within each folder is a neatly stashed bundle of links.
In Bible study alone, I counted 55.
Now, for a compulsive meanderer like me, any purge presents the dangerous risk of wandering. If I'm not careful, clicking a saved link will lead me on a cyber adventure road through google land. Therefore, I had to preset my purge to a specific block of time. Tomorrow morning, I'll set aside just 15 minutes to do some more. At this rate, I might complete the job by the new year.
If I knew how to delete in bulk, I would do it. In fact, if anyone knows how, please share the e- instructions. HOWEVER, if there is a way to color code e- folders,
please… please…just don't tell me.

Tips for St. Andrew's Episcopal Church
44 St. Andrew's Episcopal Church Tips
The weather was a cold winter evening. I wore coat and casual attire. Warm inside venue..
Prefered not a church
None available
Go earlly enough to have dinner-San Mateo Blvd. is restaurant row--you can't go wrong.
Plenty of parking.
Seats are of wood so bring a cushion if you need one.
Coffee, tea and bottled water.
Easy street parking
Anything goes, but casual is standard.
Easy quick drive from SF, parking out front.
Water, tea and coffee for $1.00 - very fair.
They were selling coffee for a dollar at the show.
This is not a dressy place at all. It's like going to church for rehearsal of Sunday morning.
If you don't like to sit on church pews get there early, first two rows are padded chairs.
Coffee was provided but I would bring my own snacks.

The Rusty War Elephant of the Galactic Empire's Post-Apocalypse
The portion of "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" we often forget — even though it's the most important—is the "long time ago" part. Star Wars, unlike most sci-fi, is not about the future: It's about the distant past of alien species utterly unconnected to humanity.
But if we were to fly to Coruscant today, what would we find? Would the city planet be the rusting hulk of a once great capital, the inter-cosmic ruins of Rome? What would archeologists find, exploring Hoth, Degobah or Tattooine?
Sci-fi modeling site Starship Modeler recently hosted a contest that asked contestants to post their best model "wreck" and modeler Dimitri Kaliviotis took first prize with this incredibly rusty and dilapidated AT-AT. It looks like evidence that a nuclear apocalypse hit the Galactic Empire shortly after the Battle of Endor, which just reminds me how post-apocalyptic a Star Wars universe could really be.

The Mongol Nation racketeering case resumes again tomorrow at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow in Santa Ana, California which is about 35 miles south of Los Angeles.
In December, a federal jury found that there is a person named "Mongol Nation" loose in the land. Mongol Nation is approximately connected to the Mongols Motorcycle Club and in the last 15 years, the Jury and the prosecutors believe, he has committed multiple racketeering acts.
After arriving at their verdict in time for Christmas the jury was surprised to learn that its work was not done. It returned in January to deliberate on whether the Mongols Club could be stripped of its insignia and name for what Mongol Nation had done. The jury decided it could be and then then they awarded possession of the club insignia to the government.
Shell Game
In February, Judge David O. Carter decided that it would be unconstitutional to take the club's insignia because: In the first place it would violate the Mongols members' right to freely express themselves by wearing the clothes of their choice; and secondly, because the punishment would be excessive.
Tomorrow, Carter will pronounce sentence on Mongol Nation and will simultaneously rule on a motion by prosecutors to Award ownership of the Mongols Motorcycle Club's patch and name to the Department of Justice but allow members of the club to continue wearing and using their membership marks.
But wait. There is more. There is also the matter of who will represent the Mongols, and Mongol Nation, in court tomorrow.
Yanny Or Stubbs
There was discernible tension throughout the long trial between Joseph Yanny who is the Mongols trial attorney and Stephen Stubbs who is the Mongol Motorcycle Club Counsel. Stubbs fired Yanny after Carter ruled the Mongols still own the marks. Stubbs is the club's lawyer now. But he is has not been admitted to Carter's court. Maybe Yanny will represent all the Mongols tomorrow or maybe Stubbs will. Maybe a man will come up to me tomorrow and shake my hand and say, "Hi, My name is Mongol Nation." About 16 hours before court is scheduled to convene it is still a cliffhanger.
Yanny will file a "Response to Probation Presentencing Report and Government's Amended Request for Forfeiture of Collective Membership Marks" tomorrow. A long excerpt from his filing may give readers some insight into what is happening with this case.
"The undersigned was informed that Mongols general counsel Steven Stubbs would be submitting Mongol Nation's Response," Yanny begins. "Mr. Stubbs is not admitted to practice in the State of California or in the Central District. On my request he was admitted Pro Hac Vice during the course of the trial. To date, the Response has not happened, and so I am compelled to at least submit this.
"It was not until November 29, 2018, that Mr. Stubbs showed up to the trial and the Court admitted him at my request. Mr. Stubbs examined no witnesses, wrote, nor reviewed prior submission of any of the motion papers, nor argued to the Court of any of the matters litigated. Mr. Stubbs as the 'General Counsel' did handle all matters with sentencing and probation, the undersigned was not involved.
Big Case Big Dollars
"To summarize the Mongol Nation claimed $960,000.00, in attorney fees since the US v. Cavazos case (hereinafter "Cavazos"), which was filed in 2008. The undersigned can not confirm that. To clarify for the record, the Yanny & Smith firm was paid $420,000.00, from 2013 to present for this case. Still owing under our hourly retaining agreement is another $511,326.98. The only payments received during trial was a $25,000.00 payment. Contrary to the representations of sentencing and probation the balance of over $511,000 remains unpaid. Those matters will be resolved pursuant to law and agreement in arbitration, as well they should be.
"There were roughly 79 defendants in the Cavazos case. It is my understanding that all of them had either public defenders or panel counsel at the governments expense. During the underlying Cavazos case two related matters were also litigated. One involved Roman Rivera case (Ramon Rivera v. Ronnie A. Carter et al., Case No. CV 09-2435-DOC-JC Document 113), in which Mr. Rivera was represented by the ACLU, David Loy Esq.. Because Mr. Rivera was successful in his civil rights case against various members of the US Government who were found to be violating his civil rights, the government was ordered to pay roughly $250,000.00, in fees and cost.
"In the separate collateral proceedings (ownership and forfeiture of the collective membership mark) in Cavazos, it is the understanding of the undersigned, the Mongols were represented by Attorney George Steele. This matter had to do with the attempted forfeiture of the collective membership mark and was civil in nature. It is the understanding of the undersigned that Attorney Steele was also compensated by the United States Government for his successful advocacy of the Mongols ownership of the collective service marks. Without citation to the records it is also the understanding of the undersigned that Attorney Steele was compensated by the government for his services in excess of $230,000.00, although the exact figure is not available.
"There was no trial in either the Rivera, or collateral trademark proceedings These matters were decided on motion practice. Culpability for not one homicide, attempted homicide, ADW, drug transaction, etc., etc., etc., was litigated in either matter. Nonetheless, the Court at prevailing rates ordered the government to pay in the neighborhood of $500,000.00, to successful counsel at market rates in those matters.
Mongol Nation
"In the instant case, the government put on evidence of in excess fifteen homicides or attempted homicides, dozens of alleged assaults with a deadly weapon, dozens of alleged drug transactions, etc., etc., every one of them was litigated to the max by both sides.
"Of the alleged homicides or attempted homicides the government proceeded to the jury with only six in the exercise of 'prosecutorial discretion' as stated by Mr. Welk on the record. If memory serves me correctly the government only proceeded to the jury with two drug transactions and one allegation of conspiracy to distributed controlled substances. The jury found not proven or deadlocked (10-2 in favor of acquittal) on all homicides or attempted homicide claims except for two- one homicide and one attempted homicide. The homicide and attempted homicide for which guilt was found both accrued in the time frame of 2006 and 2008, when Doc Cavazos was still in charge of the club.
"The jury also found guilt based on conspiracy to violate racketeering. The only evidence even arguably supporting conspiracy was an audio tape of then president, Doc Cavazos, speaking to a gathering of members in which he in effect told them, 'if you're going to engage in things you're going to worry about, don't do it on the phone.' That tape was made in 2008. All of the other matters about which the government put on evidence had nothing to do with conspiracy. The alleged homicide, attempted homicides, drug transactions, etc., were either stand alone predicate acts, which the government decided not to pursue, but far from anything that resembles conspiratorial planning, discussions, or agreement. For the record one such matter is the David Martinez case, in which Officer Diamond died, unfortunate and accidentally, during an over zealous raid on his residence which is currently in trial in department 105 of the LA Superior Court in the case styled California v. Martinez. In speaking with our jury in this case, half of them were convinced that officer Diamond was killed by a friendly fire accident or at a minimum Officer Diamonds death was the result of excusable homicide because of the nature of the raid conducted.
"The government cannot throw out a lot of mud regarding predicate acts, not proceed to them to the jury and then alleged that they are conspiratorial acts. These alleged predicate acts are either stand alone basis for finding substance RICO violations where there is nothing at all.
"The bottom line is of all the substantive acts or evidence of conspiracy with which the government proceeded to the jury occurred between 2006 and 2008, under the reign of Doc Cavazos. There are no specific findings of the jury of substantive violations to the RICO act or conspiracy beyond the 2006 and 2008 time period.
"We again remind the Court that after the tens of millions of dollars spent by the government harassing this club this is all there is. The evidence establishes that Doc Cavazos was removed and kicked out of the club in 2008, and the government proceeded to the jury with nothing determining specific violations by the substantive rico or conspiracy beyond his tenure. While we believe that the homicide and attempted homicide and drug predicate acts were improperly decided by a jury which admittedly did not review the jury instructions during deliberations and who had second thoughts post guilt convictions is something we unfortunately have to live and deal with. However, there are no specific findings of culpability by the defendant in this case beyond 2008. The governments misguided pursuit of alleged and unproven substantive acts as evidence of 'conspiracy' cannot be utilized to punish this defendant beyond what is fair.
"The governments most recent attempts to destroy the collective membership marks must be rejected as well. It is axiomatic that to deny this defendant the ability to enforce it's collective membership mark is to destroy the mark itself. I will not bore the court by the regurgitation of all the authority which the court, the defendant, and the amicus have already recited ad nauseum. Accordingly, the governments second request for forfeiture or destruction of the collective membership mark should be rejected out of hand."

text: Hey all, Another question on my mind. Do you store your Glocks dry fired ,and trigger obviously all the way back, when put away for an extended time to relive the striker/spring assembly from being at "half mast" with tension on that spring? I know, another of one of my questions, but it's somewhat in the same line as having mags loaded for extended periods.

The Year of Herod's death
I have received many tweets asking for my opinion on several theories revolving around the supposed 3 BCE birth of Jesus. Traditional historians, using the works of Jewish historian Josephus, dated the death of Herod to 4 BCE. This was based mainly on a lunar eclipse Josephus mentioned that occurred during a fast shortly before Herod's death. He wrote in Antiquities of the Jews Book 17, Chapter 6, Verse 4, "But Herod deprived this Matthias of the high priesthood, and burnt the other Matthias, who had raised the sedition, with his companion alive. And that very night there was an eclipse of the moon." According the NASA, based on what Josephus mentions, this eclipse occurred on March 13, 4 BCE. This happened during the Fast of Esther which begins on Adir 13, one month before the Passover month of Nissan, and last for three days. Thus, the fast would have occurred during this lunar eclipse. The excuse some historians use for this not being the eclipse shorty before Herod's death is that this eclipse was late at night and not a total eclipse only a partial. Very thin indeed.
The 3BCE birth theories ignore the traditional date of 4 BCE for the death of Herod by mentioning another lunar eclipse that occurred on January 9, 1 BCE. There is a fast that occurs during this time, but it occurs on the 10th of Tevet and lasts only one day, therefore missing the day of the lunar eclipse by five days. Although the 4 BCE date fits better than the 1 BCE date with the fast mentioned by Josephus, there is even more from Josephus that fits better with the 4 BCE date.
Josephus writes in Antiquities of the Jews Book 17, Chapter 8, Verse 1 about the death and testament of Herod. He writes, "When he had done those things he died, the fifth day after he had caused Antipater to be slain; having reigned, since he had procured Antigonus to be slain, thirty-four years; but since he had been declared king by the Romans, thirty-seven." We know the Roman senate, under the suggestion of Mark Anthony, declared Herod King of Judea in 40 BCE, and that Antigonus was beheaded after a war with Herod in 37 BCE. Therefore, Herod reigned from 40 BCE until his death in 4 BCE, or 37 years. Based on this, a 1 BCE death of Herod is not possible. Therefore, ANY dates for the Nativity or death of Herod that occur after 4 BCE are suspect. They have no primary sources to back them up. I challenge Larson, Martin, Steinmann, and anyone else who believes in a 1 BCE death of Herod to show me a primary source for his death, and stop making excuses for the only existing primary source available. If you are going to dismiss Josephus' 37 reign year of Herod, then you must dismiss everything he said, including the eclipse before Herod's death. If this is done then your 1 BCE death of Herod has no proof. Enough, focus on the dates before 4 BCE and not ones after. Your theoris are not valid until a primary source is discovered. Do the work. In the meantime, I will focus some attention on Mark Anthony's time with Herod to find a Roman source that could validate Josephus.

14 years ago I became interested in the date that Jesus was born. This led to several years of research, I quickly realized that there was no valid information that provided any real answers to this question. Since this website is getting some interest I will post from time to time some of the information I learned during this quest.

I've been looking to build a macro that prefixes ALL custom properties
The purpose of this is related to receiving data from external sources, not wanting to loose them immediately but also not wanting overwrite them when added to PDM (eventually I would like to get this to run as a task in PDM on a transition).
By prefixing them with say "IMPORT-" it will mean the original properties are still in the file but also that they could be easily removed later using another macro if required (by search for properties that contain "IMPORT-").
There seem to be a few macros that get close put aren't quite doing what I'm after.
I've taken and started to modify a macro by Keith Rice and got very close by just altering one line.
'Sort custom properites alphabetically
'Preconditions: part or assembly is open
'Written by Keith Rice
'CADSharp LLC
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim swModel As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Dim swCustPropMgr As SldWorks.CustomPropertyManager
Dim vCustPropNames As Variant
Dim vCustPropVals As Variant
Dim Current As New Collection
Dim Final As New Collection
Dim i As Integer
Dim blnFound As Boolean
Sub main()
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set swModel = swApp.ActiveDoc
Set swCustPropMgr = swModel.Extension.CustomPropertyManager(Empty)
swCustPropMgr.GetAll vCustPropNames, Empty, vCustPropVals
'Put custom properties in a collection
For i = 0 To UBound(vCustPropNames)
Current.Add vCustPropNames(i)
Current.Add vCustPropVals(i)
Next i
'Insertion sort
Set Final = Nothing
Do While Current.Count <> 0
'First cust prop
If Final.Count = 0 Then
Final.Add Current.Item(1)
Final.Add Current.Item(2)
Current.Remove 1
Current.Remove 1
End If
'Find place in Final collection
blnFound = False
For i = 1 To Final.Count Step 2
If UCase(Current.Item(1)) < UCase(Final.Item(i)) Then
Final.Add Current.Item(1), , i
Final.Add Current.Item(2), , , i
Current.Remove 1
Current.Remove 1
blnFound = True
Exit For
ElseIf Current.Item(1) = Final.Item(i) Then
blnFound = True
End If
Next i
If blnFound = False Then
Final.Add Current.Item(1)
Final.Add Current.Item(2)
Current.Remove 1
Current.Remove 1
End If
'Delete and re-add custom properties
For i = 0 To UBound(vCustPropNames)
swCustPropMgr.Delete vCustPropNames(i)
Next i
For i = 1 To Final.Count Step 2
swCustPropMgr.Add2 "IMPORT- " + Final.Item(i), swCustomInfoText, Final.Item(i + 1)
Next i
End Sub
This works fine when the number of properties is 0 or greater than 1, then it doesn't work.
The really isn't much need to sort the properties in this application but I keeps things neat as its so close to working it seems a shame not to continue with this one.
I can write a case to to skip when 0.
What I don't understand is what you can do with a Ubound of 1? Do I need to make a special case for the instance where there is 1 custom property or can't this be altered to accommodate it?

Watch an exclusive video interview with Lynn Harrell.
Listen to an audio version.
Read a synopsis of the interview (below).
Lynn discusses some of the motivations behind deciding to become a musician and he suggests that the fact that both his parents were musicians also had something to do with it!
So why the cello? Lynn describes how he saw it as representing his father's baritone voice, and also felt that the instrument fit him physically and personally.
He describes the admiration he held for his teacher Leonard Rose (1918-1984), an inspiring performer of great technical ability.
With little orchestral experience behind him, Lynn was fortunate in joining the Cleveland Orchestra when aged 18. This exposed him to a wealth of music from the symphonic and operatic repertoire, not just the solo works he was accustomed to playing. After only three years with the orchestra he was promoted to principal cello, becoming one of the youngest principals ever.
Lynn has always enjoyed playing with orchestras, being a member of an ensemble, and part of a community of other musicians. One of the things that touched him the most was being able to listen to different instruments every day, and he also appreciated not having the pressures of being the soloist in an exposed role.
His first solo break came when just 16 years old, when he played under the conductor Leopold Stokowski (1882-1977) in Carnegie Hall.
Soon after he made a recording of the Dvorak Cello Concerto with the New Jersey Philharmonic Orchestra, a recording that was also nominated for a Grammy Award.
Lynn talks about the disadvantages of touring and performing, and the sacrifices that have to be made with family and friends.
Lynn is fascinated by Mozart, and describes him as 'Einstein and Isaac Newton rolled into one'. He is constantly inspired by the pathos of his music, and the humbling realisation of his awe-inspiring creative genius.
Schubert is another favourite composer, and he is particularly fond of the music completed on his deathbed. Again, it is the sadness of his music that draws him in, and he talks about Schubert's ability to compose music that touches all who hear it.
Lynn performs excerpts from the Rachmaninov and Brahms Cello Sonatas with Simon Mulligan on piano.
Lynn has two cellos, a 1673 Stradivarius that he has nicknamed 'Jacki' after its previous owner, Jacqueline du Pré, and a Montagnana made in Venice in 1720.
He alternates the two instruments throughout the year, saying that even though they are a box of wood, they each have their own voice that gets hoarse and tired and needs to be rested. When he swaps instruments he tunes the strings down, and puts the instrument in its case so that its not vibrating and singing out, or being bashed by bowing or fingering.
Lynn discusses the differences in musical culture between England and America, mainly the contrasting approaches taken by the two countries.
He believes that music making in Europe is more attuned to the philosophical meaning of what music is supposed to communicate than it is in America, and this is one of the reasons Lynn gave for his decision to take up the post of Head of the Royal Academy of Music in the early 1990s.
One of Lynn's aims for the future is to give back to the profession through teaching and guiding young people. His philosophy is to concentrate on getting a student's playing in shape, after which career opportunities will naturally follow.

I was excited to see Cardi B's head-to-toe denim look on her Instagram feed for the obvious reason that I'm obsessed with denim. I'm also really into her blue eye makeup. However, I quickly noticed a couple of issues.

1. The jacket and pants are by Dolce & Gabbana, a brand that has been racist and repeatedly offensive in a variety of ways, check out this People article for a quick summary.
2. The very next post on Cardi B's Instagram feed shows her with the D&G jeans removed, in the back of a car, trying to get relief from their tight fit, and hoping to prevent a yeast infection.

LEGION BASEBALL: Bears fall to Belleville 4-3
EDWARDSVILLE — Playing on their home field and a chance to wrap up the American Legion District 22 regular season title, the Edwardsville Post 199/Alton Post 126 Metro East Bears instead must sit and wait to see where they finish and have their fate determined by someone else.
Playing against a Belleville Post 58 team fielding a makeshift lineup missing seven of their 18 players, the Bears flubbed for the second time in seven days against the Hilgards, including a disheartening 4-3 setback Tuesday at SIUE's Roy E. Lee Field.
The Bears (11-4, 2-2) now must wait for Belleville (9-8, 2-1) to play Highland on Thursday to see how this all plays out. If Highland wins, it turns the district seeds inside out and would come down to some sort of tiebreaker, but Belleville with a win, would be the top seed and have home field advantage.
Belleville, which got a compete-game effort on the mound from Kevin Sisk, won the game with only three hits, but Post 58 played error-free defense, manufactured runs and took advantage of some wildness from Bears starter Jacob St. Peters, who walked five in 4 1/3 innings and got himself in trouble with the base on balls.
The Bears put themselves in position to win the district title with a 5-2 win at Highland on Monday. Now it's wait for help.
"We talked about that; we talked about (Monday) night, we played a good game against Highland and we had the opportunity to come out here tonight and play for first place," Bears manager Ken Schaake said. "I don't know how much more you can say to somebody to get some intensity and come out ready to play from the very first pitch and we unfortunately did not do that. Our pitcher was really not as sharp as he needed to be, he walked some guys, we made some errors in the field (three)."
The Hilgards came into the game playing with many regulars out of the lineup because of vacations, players that manager Jonathon Schweppe said will be back in time for Thursday's game.
The Belleville manager was just tickled that his kids came out and competed the way they did Tuesday and by winning, Post 58 clinched a tie for first.
"No, I didn't know that," Schweppe said. "This is a big win. I've got to give it to those guys in there. There's a lot of guys that don't get much playing time. We're missing a lot and those guys stepped up huge today. Huge."
One of those guys included third baseman Gavin Strieker, who normally is the backup catcher but was thrust into playing the field. Strieker twice robbed the Bears' Cole Cimarolli of hits down the third base line, including a 5-3 double play with runners on first and second and one out in the third.
"We had a pitcher in left, a pitcher in right, second baseman playing center, we had our backup catcher playing third, who played a phenomenal game," Schweppe said. "He was the MVP of the game. Gavin Strieker, the plays he made, he made some fantastic plays that saved us the game.
"Sisk threw a really good game."
Belleville grabbed a 3-0 lead in the third highlighted by Logan Betz's two-run triple over Tyler Stamer's head in left, and Betz scored the third run on one of two wild pitches from St. Peters (1-1) that resulted in runs.
The Bears fought back with three runs in the fourth when Collin Clayton and Jake Garella walked to lead off the inning, Drake Hampton brought Clayton home with a single to left, and Chance Foss drove home another run with a single to right and then Steven Pattan, who had two of the Bears' five hits, delivered a clutch two-out RBI single to tie the game.
But St. Peters, who walked five and struck out four, got into trouble again in the fifth when he walked Sisk to lead off the inning. The Belleville pitcher then stole second on a close play, moved to third on a groundout and scored on a wild pitch.
"The go-ahead run, they score on two walks, a wild pitch and a ground ball to the second baseman," Schaake said. "We had just tied the game and the first thing we do is walk guys and throw a wild pitch.
"St. Pete settled down, had two bad innings. The one where they score three and the one where he gave up the one, but he pitched out of some danger and then (Devin) Colley came in and did a really good job for us."
After t he fourth inning, the Bears didn't get a hit off Sisk, who walked two batters and those were the only two batters to reach base over the final three innings.
"Right now, we're 2-2 and depending on what Highland and Belleville do, everybody can finish 2-2 and then you have a three-way tie, head-to-head is out the window," Schaake said. "Then you go fewest runs allowed and I don't know if they go with all three teams. I really don't know how that works."
Bears 11, American National 5 — The Bears, who were supposed to play the St. Louis Amateur Baseball Association team on Wednesday in Hazelwood, Mo. but a scheduling snafu, moved the Eagles to play in Edwardsville on Tuesday.
Brandon Hampton improved to 4-0 on the summer by working three innings of two-hit ball. He walked two and struck out five.
Jake Garella, who had his 9-for-9 streak at the plate snapped, was 2-for-4 with a double and RBI, Drake Hampton was 2-for-4 with one RBI and Tate Wargo also was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Tyler Stamer was 2-for-3 with two RBI and two runs scored.
Storm Coffman worked three innings of one-hit ball in relief, and Edwardsville grad Jordan Yenne made his Bears debut on the mound with one inning of relief.

Is the new Ford government sending the wrong message to business?
Toronto, ON – Much like the Harris government before them, the new Progressive Conservative government under Premier Doug Ford is doing exactly what they promised during the summer election. The election platform made it clear that governments don't create jobs on their own but they can create conditions that make it easier to start a business or invest in the province.
However election promises often clash with reality. Decisions based on party doctrine and ideology can just as easily close businesses, kill jobs and drive away investment, both foreign and domestic.
Ford targeted Hydro One CEO Mayo Schmidt during the election as the $6 million dollar man, suggesting Schmidt's annual salary was too high and forcing him out was the first step in cutting your hydro bills. Just prior to the Throne Speech, Ford announced he had succeeded in ousting Schmidt and he did it without paying one penny of compensation! The day of the Throne Speech the truth was revealed. Schmidt wasn't fired, he didn't resign, he simply retired and in so doing was entitled to stock options and benefits totaling almost as much as he would have received in severance. Not only did Schmidt retire, but the entire board of directors of Hydro One resigned en masse. This election promise has delivered no real savings for the average Ontario hydro user. It may shave a few pennies off of your hydro bill but it has created more problems than it solved.
It sent a clear message to would be replacements for Schmidt and the board of directors of Hydro One. You'll make significantly less and you'll have the government watching over your shoulder. It has also sent a shiver down the spines of potential investors in this province. Is this how Ontario is open for business?
This ideological platform said it would cancel energy contracts that are in the pre-construction phase and re-negotiate other energy contracts. It also has declared a moratorium on new energy contracts. True to its platform, the Ford government has introduced the Urgent Priorities Act and the key component here is the White Pines Wind Project Termination Act. The German company involved in the construction of seven wind turbines in Prince Edward County, has invested $110 million so far and has built four of the seven turbines. The legislation stops the project cold and gives the government full power to limit compensation through legislation. In short this warns that if the Ontario government doesn't like your project, it can shut it down and you have no right to seek compensation in the courts! Remember the platform stated if elected a Ford Government would cancel contracts that are in pre-construction phase. In this case, construction is already well underway. Even the Business Council of Canada has concerns about the message this is sending to investors. Council CEO John Manley stated, "We believe this legislation, if enacted, will undermine investor confidence and set an unfortunate precedent for how the government intends to deal with the private sector." Even Sabine Sparwasser, Germany's Ambassador to Canada, is concerned about the threat to a project that is nearing completion. "Germany wants to do more with Canada and Ontario but this would not send a good message to investors," she said.
Doug Ford has just been elected with a majority government so that means he has four years to enforce his platform without interruption. Ontario may be open for business but government action says otherwise!

Why the CFTC Chairman's Comments About Ether's Status Are Not That Big a Deal
On Thursday (October 10), Heath Tarbert, the Chairman of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), stated that it was his belief that "ether is a commodity." However, this does not mean that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) agrees with this view.
Chairman Tarbert's comments on Ether (ETH) came while he was speaking on stage at Yahoo Finance's All Markets Summit in New York City on Thursday (October 10).
In particular, the CFTC Chairman stated:
We've been very clear on bitcoin: bitcoin is a commodity. We haven't said anything about ether—until now. It is my view as chairman of the CFTC that ether is a commodity.
Although Yahoo Finance's report on the CFTC Chairman's remarks says that "Tarbert agrees with the SEC's previous guidance that bitcoin and ether are not securities" and contrary to popular opinion on Crypto Twitter, in fact, the SEC has issued no such official guidance on Ether.
Most people seem to believe that the SEC has officially declared that Ether (ETH) is not a security based on remarks made by William Hinman, Director of the Division of Corporate Finance at the SEC, at a Yahoo! All Markets Summit event on 14 June 2018:
Based on my understanding of the present state of ether, the ethereum network and its decentralized structure, current offers and sales of ether are not securities transactions.
However, unlike with Bitcoin (BTC), where the SEC and its chairman (Jay Clayton) have on multiple occasions (most recently, earlier this month) reiterated that Bitcoin is not a security, the SEC has on no other occasion made similar declarations about Ether.
In fact, back in June 2018, a spokesperson for Coin Center told CoinDesk that Director Hinman's comments "while instructive, don't represent a ruling."
As for Chairman Tarbert's expectation of Ether futures trading on a U.S. crypto derivatives exchange in the near future, although the CFTC might be ready to approve Ether futures contracts, neither Cboe nor CME Group have announced plans for Ether futures even though there have been such rumors as far back as September 2018.
Update at 19:00 UTC on October 10:
About 40 minutes after the original version of this article was published, Preston Byrne, a senior partner at the U.S. law firm Byrne & Storm, P.C., sent out the following tweet:
The CFTC Chair declared Ethereum a commodity today, all but driving a stake through the heart of Bitcoiners who had hoped it would be declared a security.— Preston Byrne (@prestonjbyrne) October 10, 2019
Here's why lawyers shouldn't advise their clients to go out and launch Ethereum 2.0. https://t.co/tJOTrSdHvV
In the blog post that this tweet links to, Byrne says that he believes that the CFTC Chairman's assessment of Ether is not correct:
I think this view is not correct. An Ether token has less in common with a soybean than it does with a share.
He then goes to say that it is unlikely that the CFTC Chairman would be saying that Ether is a commodity if the SEC has not decided to give Ethereum special treatment. As for why the SEC would choose to look the other way, Byrne says:
"Ethereum's different 'because reasons,' not because of what the law says. Maybe it got too big. Maybe the harm to investors and crypto businesses that would arise from deeming it an investment contract would have been too great. The only reasons I can divine that Ethereum is treated differently is that the scheme was enormous and multiple major venture capital firms lobbied for this one coin offering to be treated in a particular way that sets it apart from every other coin offering.
And they succeeded, because money talks."

Guerin Prep High School
When sending your children off to high school, it's important that you know they'll have a safe and supportive environment in which to gain a quality education. Guerin Prep High School on the northwest side of Chicago and surrounding suburbs, can provide that environment. Guerin Prep is a sponsored institution of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. Formerly Mother Theodore Guerin High School (MTGHS), the school was founded in 1962 in River Grove, Illinois, to educate girls. In the fall of 2004, in response to a request from the Archdiocese of Chicago, a new chapter in Guerin history began when, with the closing of Holy Cross High School on property adjoining MTGHS, young men were welcomed to Guerin for the first time.
The name was changed to Guerin College Preparatory High School (Guerin Prep). Guerin Prep remains dedicated to developing the unique potential of its diverse student body through an extensive academic curriculum, excellent administrative and instructional staffs and through its Catholic faith, service and extracurricular programs. For more information, go to their website.

On This Day 54 years ago, a member of the famous Big Six, J.B. Danquah died in detention at the Nsawam Prisons.
To celebrate him on the day of his passing, President Nana Akufo-Addo took to Twitter to pay a tribute to his uncle, J.B. Danquah.
He wrote:
54 years ago today, one of the most extraordinary persons that Ghana has ever given to the world, J.B. Danquah, died at the Nsawam Medium Security prisons under the most ignominious conditions, chained to the wall in detention without trial in a cell for condemned convicts.
— Nana Akufo-Addo (@NAkufoAddo) February 4, 2019
He had led a most public life, he wrote profusely, was not shy of arguments, and gave our nation its name of Ghana. I believe I will not overreach myself when I say that Danquah's memory will continue to live, at least, for as long as this nation Ghana lives.
— Nana Akufo-Addo (@NAkufoAddo) February 4, 2019
May His Soul continue to rest and abide in the bosom of the Almighty until the last day of the Resurrection when we shall all meet again. Amen. #JBDanquah
— Nana Akufo-Addo (@NAkufoAddo) February 4, 2019
Well written tribute by the President, but most people on Twitter did not agree with him.
Most of them were of the view that there are more important things which he should be addressing instead of paying tribute to J.B. Danquah.
Some were also of the view that nothing has really changed after 54 years. The prisons are still not in good conditions and it's better for the president to see to those issues rather than paying tribute to his deceased uncle.
Here are the reactions to the president's tweets:
What do you also make of the president's tribute to J.B. Danquah?

This past weekend 191 Cadets participated in a Biathlon Event at the Algoma Rod and Gun Club supported by their military coaches and leaders and hosted by a cadre of volunteers from our club. After a week of warm weather and rain, Friday brought colder weather and fresh snow for the event just in time. Pat, Dave and the volunteers put on great meals and desserts for the participants and Algoma Search and Rescue provided first aid services. This is the first of three events this winter with the next events happening on February 11th to 12th and again on February 21st to 23rd. Club volunteers will be needed for these events to cut up fruit and salad fixings, serve the meals and clean up after the events. Contact Pat or Dave if you are available.

Slimbridge's lengthy injury list isn't showing any signs of shortening after it was confirmed that both Tom Hoskins & Alex Hoyle will miss the remainder of the season.
Speaking to club secretary Colin Gay, he revealed that it had been confirmed in the last 24 hours that central defender Hoskins has dislodged a plate in his face that was installed after his horrific injury in the summer.
In the match report from Slimbridge's website of the 8-0 defeat at Swindon Supermarine on Tuesday reads "Tom Hoskins picked up a knock to the same side of the face that he injured in pre-season late in the half but was able to carry on after treatment…On the stoke of half time Hoskins ran the ball into the opposing half before being robbed by Jon Else, and then collapsed suffering the after effects of his previous knock. After a lengthy stoppage he was stretchered from the field to be replaced by Sean Lawson."
Gay also confirmed that Hoyle, who broke his foot in the 2-0 defeat at home to Mangotsfield last month, would also miss the remainder of the campaign.
On the field Slimbridge are falling nearer to the bottom two and find themselves now only 2 points ahead of Barnstaple Town, who they host at Thornhill Park on Saturday.
Hoskins and Hoyle join Jack Twyman (amongst others) who are on the treatment table for the rest of the season. Slimbridge were also without Adam Mace for Tuesday's game but it is unclear as to when he should make his return to first team action.
Lee Smith and Liam Gale both played for the Swans on Tuesday as part of their dual registrations but it is more than likely both will be unavailable for the big game against Barnstaple at the weekend. Slimbridge will have Kieran Squires available to deputise in the back four but Freddy Ward's threadbare squad is going to be spread even thinner in the coming weeks.
As mentioned Slimbridge host Barnstaple Town in the Southern League West on Saturday at Thornhill Park. Kick off 15:00

Packing for London
When I was little, excitement of travel kept me awake nights before the departure. To anywhere further than my Grandma's. I was giddy, restless, full of expectation. I've always loved travelling. In any form – by car, by bus, by train, by plane… I first flew on a plane when I was 13, so that took a while, although it could definitely be worse. Now I still live it just as much as when I was 10. I can't wait to set on a journey and discover new places, new people, new things.
Tomorrow I'm leaving for London thanks to F&F, which invited me to review their new Autumn/Winter 2016 collection and I can't wait! If you follow my blog long enough, you know that London is my favourite place on Earth, just after my home home. It's my ideal dream home. It hasn't worked out for me yet, but I'm not loosing hope and I'm really looking forward to visiting the beautiful city again.
Packing, however, is a different story. That has never been my forte, although I'm getting better. I keep reminding myself that I don't need my whole wardrobe with me and that I'll get by with a few good basic pieces 🙂 All in all, I'm taking a one statement pink jacket, a few striped pieces, because stripes look great anywhere and anytime, comfy shoes for miles of walking and one cute outfit for dinner. There are several essentials in my bag, though: the comfy shoes, camera (my lovely purple Olympus), my iPhone (with a selfie stick, for when I'm alone) and a small crossbody bag that will keep my hands free.
I'll be busy walking, watching, talking and taking notes until Saturday, so please follow my Facebook and Instagram for updates 🙂
See you in London!
bag, shoes, coat, yellow dress, striped skirt – F&F

Leopard Kills Cheetah in the Mara and Hoists it up a Tree
A big male leopard recently killed a well-known female cheetah, known by researchers as Rongai, near Sala's Camp in the Masai Mara.
The dead cheetah was found hoisted into a tree, where the leopard had been feeding on its prey for a while. The leopard, named Mukubwa, killed the cheetah late at night, pulled her up a tree and then feasted on her carcass for a full three days.
Here are a few graphic images taken by Femke, from the Mara Cheetah Project, an organisation that monitors cheetah populations in and around the Masai Mara.
This was a sad day for us at Sala's Camp, because we know the cheetahs in the area very well. We assist the Mara Cheetah Project with research information and sightings during game drives.
Our guides carry cameras with GPS tags, and whenever they see a cheetah, they take a photo, which is then used to ID the cheetah using its spot patterns, and marks the point on the map with a date and time. This is very useful for building up population density estimates.
We encourage Sala's guests to do the same by downloading an app to their phones to assist with research
Femke the MCP leaders come and stay at Sala's regularly, and are available to meet guests if they are interested in cheetahs, giving lectures to explain the work being done in the Mara.
If you are interested in further supporting conservation efforts in the Mara, join the Mara Cheetah Project crowd funding campaign here.
For more information on the Mara Cheetah Project, see here.

This is What 2 Cups of Coffee Per Day Will Do To Your Liver - Just Naturally Healthy. The health effects of coffee are quite controversial.
Depending on who you ask, it is either a super healthy beverage or incredibly harmful. But despite what you may have heard, there are actually plenty of good things to be said about coffee. For example, it is high in antioxidants and linked to a reduced risk of many diseases. However… it also contains caffeine, a stimulant that can cause problems in some people and disrupt sleep. This article takes a detailed look at coffee and its health effects, examining both the pros and cons. Coffee Contains Some Essential Nutrients and is Extremely High in Antioxidants Coffee is more than just dark brown water… many of the nutrients in the coffee beans do make it into the drink. A typical 8oz (240 ml) cup of coffee contains: This may not seem like a lot, but try multiplying with 3, 4, or however many cups you drink per day.
Bottom Line: Coffee contains a small amount of some vitamins and minerals, which add up if you drink many cups per day. Calendrier des produits de saison. Five Golden Points with Anti-Aging Effects.

Not genetics, not exercise or nutrition, but the mind. This has been shown over and over again by the scientific fields of psychoneuroimmunology, psychoneurocardiology, psychoneuroendocrinology, not to mention cancer research and all the various psychosomatic disorders that have been studied. If you doubt that thought affects health then I will be happy to have a truckload of research evidence dumped at your doorstep (at your expense) that you can take the next few years perusing.
On second thought, why don't I just relate a story. The oldest documented person that ever lived was a French woman named Jeanne Calment who made it to 122 years, 164 days on this earth. What was her secret? Jeanne Calment smoked cigarettes (started at age 21), drank port wine and ate a couple of pounds of chocolate sweets a week until she was 119 years old. She credited her longevity to laughing a lot and not getting stressed out.
Insomnia (Bu Mian) The Top 6 Artery-Cleansing Foods. Your arteries are the system within your body that continually transport the essential nutrients and oxygen that you need to survive, from your heart to the rest of your body.
A massive part of staying healthy and keeping your arteries clear and clean has to do with your diet. It is very true when you are told "You are what you eat." It is also true that what you put into your body will determine your overall health including your cardiovascular health. Adjusting your diet to include artery-friendly foods can improve your general health and the condition of your heart. Here are 6 natural foods that will help to cleanse and unclog your arteries which will help prevent a heart attack or stroke: Organic Asparagus "Asparagus works within the 100,000 miles of veins and arteries to release pressure, thereby allowing the body to accommodate for inflammation that has accumulated over the years." says Shane Ellison, an organic chemist and author of Over-The-Counter Natural Cures.
Thanks to Dr. Superfood power of mangosteen. (NaturalNews) The fruit of a tropical evergreen tree native to Southeast Asia, mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is enjoyed as a snack in regions where it grows across Asia and South America.
Because of the highly perishable nature of this delicate fruit, it is rarely found in the United States, but rather marketed as a juice or supplement, and even as a cream for dermatological conditions. Used as a traditional remedy for thousands of years, mangosteen has been the topic of research by western scientists for several decades regarding its health benefits. Their findings are validating its use as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory, in the treatment of dysentery, fever, urinary disorders, diarrhea, wound infections, and inflamed skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and more.

How much do you invest in training and coaching your team? Does everyone feel they are good at what they do and take pride in becoming even better?
My husband runs the family tool hire business, and every now and again, asks me to go in and cover for him for a couple of hours. He works alone, so if he needs to make a delivery during the day, I get to go in and be the sales assistant. It's fine, until someone comes in and asks for something.
Firstly, I struggle with the stock control on the computer – I'm not that familiar with it, so it takes me a while to work out if we've got an angle grinder available. Once I've established that we have, the next problem is that a) I don't know what it looks like; b) I don't know where we keep it on the shelves; and c) don't know what disc you need to for the job you want to do.
So I end up feeling useless and incompetent, and just hate being there. It's really not a nice feeling. And yes, if I worked there full time, I'd learn and improve, but because I don't that feeling of incompetence arises every time I'm on the premises. Also, it's his business, he wants it run his way, so I don't get much autonomy either.
We return again to Daniel Pink, and his book Drive; the surprising truth about what motivates us. As well as purpose and autonomy, there's mastery. To develop mastery we need three things.
How is this relevant to you as a manager? I'll introduce another writer here, Cal Newport. In his book, So Good they can't Ignore You, he contrasts the passion mindset with the craftsman mindset. He uses the example of a young man who composes guitar and banjo music, and how he practices small sections repeatedly. You may have bought into the premise that you should find work that you're passionate about, if work is your passion you'll never have to work a day in your life. I certainly did. Newport says this is all wrong, for many reasons I don't have time to explore now. But one that's relevant for our purposes, Newport says this is all about what the job can do for you. Contrast this with the craftsman approach, which is all about what you can bring to the job, what value you add. If you take this approach to your job as a manager, how can I be a better manager today than I was yesterday, how can I continue to improve and learn more about serving my team, then you will be adding tremendous value to your organisation. If you can encourage your team to take the same approach, then they too will continue to grow, improve and add more value to your organisation.
Through this approach, you will develop passion, find motivation and have moments of flow, which is beneficial to your wellbeing. It's a win-win. You and your team will be adding value to your organisation, and as a result your motivation and wellbeing increase.
If you want to master your team by developing the craftsman mindset, I'd love to hear from you. What do you think of this idea? Let me know in the comments below.
How much do you hate being told what to do? It's one of my pet hates – tell me what to do, and I'm likely to do the opposite, even if what you're telling me is what I was going to do anyway. Except… can't really do that at work, if you want to keep the job.
Control is the flip side of autonomy. We've all come across those managers who keep a close eye, micromanage, make a song and dance if you're even a couple of minutes late getting in to the office. You might even be the kind of manager who likes to keep a close eye on your team, afraid that they won't get on with it if you don't.
I once worked for a manager who kept all the bigger picture information, about the key strategies and objectives, in his head. He only shared what he thought he needed to, jobs were allocated as and when he wanted them done, usually with detailed instructions. He'd be checking how we got on. As a result, no one showed any initiative, and waited for his approval before getting on with stuff. In turn, he'd be really frustrated that no-one showed initiative, setting up an unvirtuous circle.
Daniel Pink, in his book, Drive; the surprising truth about what motivates us, says there are three things, autonomy, mastery and purpose, and that autonomy is the most important. There are four ways we can exercise autonomy
Different people will prefer autonomy over different elements, and it may be a little more difficult to have control over who you work with; you may have inherited a team, or joined an existing team. There's still some room for creativity though.
Why is this important? According to Pink, the old fashioned style of management is ineffective at motivating us. He gives examples of a results only work environment, where employees can decide for themselves how they go about their work, and when it's done. Night owls can work at midnight if they like. They are accountable for results of course, but the results are typically an improvement on the old style of management – a 35% increase in productivity in one example. Another successful initiative is allowing 20% of time to be spent on a side project. Employees are allowed to spend one day a week working on a project of their choosing, working with who they'd like. Google is maybe the best known of these employers, and has made a great deal of money from side projects like gmail, and other organisations have also had success with this.
