Title: Times Square Discount
Artist: Dearly Beloved
Label: Future Shock
Product Type: VINYL LP

Genre: Rock
Release Date: 2019-12-13
Number of Discs: 1

Times Square Discount is, as vocalist/bass god Rob Higgins puts it, "a rabbit-hole record," and one partially borne of "bingeing on Kubrick and drugs" and ruminating upon such fancies as "How do we make Kubrick an album?" and "How do you make an album version of The Shining?" in the van long enough for it to set in that the band's thirst for weird and/or forbidden knowledge and capacity for conducting on-site empirical research could be put to far better use in each of the cities that it visits than simply, y'know, bingeing on Kubrick and drugs in a van. The result is an LP that has yielded some of the most pop-savvy material yet to appear in the Dearly Beloved canon. "Vacation" and "LSD" have an undeniably slinky, stick-in-your-head seductiveness about them, "Close Encounters" and "Dog Food Thumbs" a decidedly sing-song quality lurking amidst the battery. Meanwhile, opener "Race to the Bottom" - inspired by Higgins and Chow's shared experiences working in their immigrant grandparents' small businesses as teenagers and the realization that such a from-the-ground-up fresh start is all but denied to any newcomer landing in modern-day Toronto - is an anthemic salute to "the mom-and-pop shops and the grandparents, parents, kids, aunts, uncles and family friends that ran and run them." Some of Dearly Beloved's newly honed pop smarts might be traceable to Higgins's recent gig as a songwriter-for-hire in LA, which has drawn such friends and collaborators as Dimitri Coats of Burning Brides and OFF!, James Di Salvio of Bran Van 3000, M83 conscript Jordan Lawlor and keyboardist Tyler Beans into the DB fold alongside drummer Aaron Morrice. Guest musicians aside, this record is still very much borne of Higgins's writing, and nothing will change in the feet-on-ground, rubber-to-the-road sense of Dearly Beloved's existence anytime soon. The band will continue to tour at a masochistic pace, vows Higgins, "because we have to, in some kind of fucked-up way."

Scrum Masters might not agree
Format: Kindle
You'll recognize much of the content, in line and in harmony with the PMBOK. Lots of descriptions with bullet points for tools and techniques useful to the project manager. Very happy to see the Reference section with working links for further study. Would recommend as a textbook, but 1) the treatment of Agile and 2) the artificial "versus" of Kanban vs Scrum is a bit unfair, and the latter is rarely true. Kanban makes the process visible; Scrum makes it hum. Despite what the author says in the Other Methodologies section: * Scrum masters are not project managers * The Scrum master does not "manage" the team; the team is self-managing and self-organizing * Scrum masters do not supervise anything. They are knowledgeable facilitators and obstacle removers. An index would be helpful and would add to the overall value as a reference book.

This a an excellent comprehensive text that would be an asset to any project manager.
Format: Kindle
This is the best project management book I have read in many years. It is structured in a comprehensive and clear format that allows the reader to follow the author. The author has also provided clarity on different methods of project management that can be used to manage a variety of projects with examples of how each method can be applied. In addition to the knowledge of project management and excellent examples of how each method can be applied the author has provided keynotes to other references a reader can seek out for additional reading. This is an excellent text that I wish had been available to me years ago. 👍🏻

Become a Project Management Pro
Format: Kindle
This book is all about the ins and outs of managing a project from start to finish, and it's broken down so it's easy to understand. The practical examples helped me understand the concepts, and I've been using the tips at work, making my projects run smoother than ever. I especially appreciated the step-by-step guide to implementing these principles. If you're new to project management, or if you've been winging it and want to step up your game, I'd highly recommend this book.

Easy to use organized guide that takes you step by step through a process
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I've been investing in real estate for 5+ years and have worked for a private equity group as Director of Acquisitions. To be successful as an investor, you need to have a system. That's what I like about Symon's book. He presents a very systematic way to invest in real estate. The Table of Content presents a strong outline that takes you from the Why of real estate investing to How to expand your portfolio and work with partners. The book also has several helpful charts and images to drive home each lesson. Although the book feels comprehensive like a textbook, it's written in a way that's easy to understand and logical to follow. Symon's approach is also very metrics based (see photos). His scorecards help you test out your ideas by creating objective metrics to look at. I highly recommend this book!
