![]() I believe Miljenko Matijevic is an extremely gifted vocalist, knowing he still has his Steelheart band out and running around the globe is a testament to the quality and integrity of the music he represents. A powerful Heavy Metal album, to simply state: Heavy Metal never sounded so damn good… Tangled In Reins has reined me in for keeps! Tangled In Reins is just a must listen from the early ’90’s, an album to revisit on a continuous basis. This Steelheart lineup played like an extremely tight and content unit on this album, giving every indication from the song lyrics to the lively and free spirit feel of the musicianship. In Metal summation, Steelheart exercises their potent and muscular Metal abilities and skills at a very high level on Tangled In Reins. Steelheart has all their Metal cylinders in sync on not just this song… on the entire album as well. Listening to Electric Love Child makes me appreciate Steelheart as one of the finest and most underrated Heavy Metal bands from the early ’90’s. This song may not be relevant to me lyrically at my point in life now… still I don’t care, it Rocks! Long live fun Heavy Metal songs! Electric Love Child has a catchy Heavy Metal title and the song itself is even more so. Love ‘Em And I’m Gone lends itself to that carefree, single and party time lifestyle, which has been so well documented in Heavy Metal songs over the decades. Chris Risola on lead guitar, serves up the licks that makes this song just jump out and come to life. Tangled In Reins kicks off with Loaded Mutha and this mutha Rocks with all the delectable, good times heaviness I could ask for. Miljenko Matijevic has an uncanny, God-given ability to hit the high notes and does not whine away in stereotypical ballad fashion. Both ballads burst at the emotional seams, still they are loaded with hard-edged and melodic grooves. These two Steelheart ballads are creme’ de la creme’ of how I want them to sound and come across. I don’t hesitate a micro second to put down Heavy Metal power ballads, from any band… ever. Two ballads exist on Tangled In Reins: All Your Love and Mama Don’t You Cry. Not to come across as redundant, yet I am the ever fickle – ballad critic. In my most humble Metal opinion, Steelheart knew how power ballads were to be written and played for Heavy Metal. As I always say, Heavy Metal never went away back in the ’90’s, it only silently grew stronger. From 1990 onward through that entire decade, Heavy Metal had an upward battle to fight for any mainstream or positive critical attention. Metal buddy Scott and I both conclude… Steelheart’s first two albums are just victims to their time period of release. It just seems like the first half of the ’90’s had some real deal Heavy Metal albums released back then, coming across the ones I missed out on years later is better late than Metal never. Thanks Scott, this CD is quite an indulgence. My best Metal buddy Scott Coverdale landed me this CD… along with his enthusiastic Metal accolades of it as well. (The early ’90’s were very lean years for my wallet). The all-encompassing power and memorable songs I hear on Tangled In Reins is pretty darn close to Metal sanctity.Ī Metal truth is that I never owned or listened to this Steelheart album until recently. The inner and outer cores of this album cries out just one universal sound and feel for me… Heavy Metal and it is a gem. Yes, Steelheart back in ’92 can very well be labeled as a Hair Metal band, with Tangled In Reins being called a Hair Metal album. Cutting to the Metal chase here, holy crap, is this a profoundly great Heavy Metal album of 10 songs! In makes absolutely no sense to beat around the Metal bush, when describing my true feelings towards this Steelheart album. STEELHEART – released Tangled In Reins on Jon MCA Records.

![]() mindmapping - organizing thoughts together.Now, using iPad apps instead of napkins, this process has broken down into several main areas: It was all something inbetween, crossing haphazardly back and forth between approaches. We never thought of our disorganized doodling as consisting of different sketching paradigms such as mindmapping, flowcharting, etc. Using this input device, you can sketch and mock-up almost as fast as you can think it! On the iOS, it turned out, it's a different story, all thanx to the touchpad. ![]() Doing those things on the computer was never an option it's simply too slow! There are plenty of good mindmap/diagram/software-planning programs for MacOS, but none that can keep up with the speed of thought. This flow remains the same, but what the iPad has allowed us to do is to digitize the first part. Mostly we'd go through several iterations, and only when things began to settle down a bit did we fire up the editors. This initial sketching would cover all aspects of the application-to-be: program flow, data structures, use cases, and UI layout. This planning can take many different forms napkin scribbles, phone conversations, whiteboard doodling, and sometimes an actual UML diagram. We've always done quite a bit of planning before we got our hands dirty in the editors. And, as I eventually realised, it is especially well suited for sketching and doing mockups. In quite a few, as it turned out! Obvious as it might be to the rest of the world, a touch screen is a very different input device compared to a touchpad and keyboard. Because let's face it, in what fields could it possibly bester my trusted MacBook Pro?

The Amazon Echo Loop has been discontinued and while we were big fans of the Motiv Ring, the startup that brought it to life was bought up by a biometric company in 2020 ending the life of that device. Some of the most exciting and connected rings have sadly already left the game. The Oura Ring 3 has impressed most of all, but there are also other options on the way like Circular and Movano, which look to increase the options of smart rings you can slip onto your digits. We might not have an Apple smart ring or connected rings made by Google, Samsung and Huawei just yet, but there's a host of smart startups that are showing the heavyweights how it's done. Many have been focused on payments, but many are loaded with the kind of health sensors that would give any smartwatch a run for its money. There's plenty of different use cases for smart rings. ![]() While some new wearable categories spring up, make big noise and then fade away, the future of smart rings looks bright.

It is used in the evaluation of the circadian rhythm sleep disorders, depression, and dementia. Sleep parameters are established by experts and then specialized algorithms are programmed to make sense of the movements recorded by the tracker based on the sleep parameters.Īctigraphy is used to document multiple sleep latency tests. There may be additional data provided by a gyroscope if it is part of the fitness tracker. How Does Actigraphy Work?Īctigraphy allows the three axis accelerometer on the wearable fitness tracker to record all the movements, big and small, made by the individual. For those suffering from sleep disorders, actigraphy is an easy way to keep track of their wakeful and sleep times during a night. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine established actigraphy as a useful research tool in 1995, but maintained that its clinical usefulness was uncertain. Using the accelerometer to track the speed and direction of motion when asleep to measure sleep quality is known as actigraphy.

![]() There’s an element that tugs on your heartstrings just a little bit. Find an emotional pullĪnd, speaking of heart, the last ingredient in a great employer brand includes an emotional component. Find that story I cannot emphasize this enough. It’s not what you do it’s WHY you do it that matters. And, that access to information can literally change lives. They put the world’s information at your fingertips. Google didn’t just create a search engine. Google is a great example of doing meaningful work. Ping pong tables are fun, but they don’t make your employer brand. There is a huge cross-section of job seekers who are looking for meaningful, purposeful work. It’s bigger than the products you sell, and chances are, other companies offer something similar, right? So what makes you unique? Why do your people come to work every day? It’s great to understand what you offer, but to truly create a captivating employer brand, you have to dig deeper and find out why your employees do what they do. Here’s an example:ĭig around your company to pull those stories out, but before firming up the themes, see the next point below. They produce quite a number of employee stories that tie nicely back to the company’s services and core values. What does your company do at its core? What do you sell? What do your employees make, help with, create, provide, etc.? Has your company been around for 85 years, or are you a hungry startup? All of these are factors to include in your story…but then take it one step further and discuss the employee side of that story. Your challenge is to find it.įor many companies, that is directly tied to your consumer or corporate brand. Your company and your employees have a story to tell. It boils down to three core ingredients:Īs mentioned, the human race appreciates a good story. The secret sauce for a strong employer brandĪnd so that leads me to the key elements of a strong employer brand. Maybe, just maybe, we’re drawn into something real, emotional and captivating as opposed to the continual barrage of advertising and cold, impersonal attempts of companies to pull us this way or that. You know, maybe storytelling is actually more important today because we have the attention span of goldfish. It’s something that human beings are pre-dispositioned for -even today when we have the attention span of goldfish. Look throughout history and you’ll find evidence of storytelling among all ancient civilizations and cultures. It’s because storytelling is in our genetic code. 1 factor in many candidates’ career decisions today? So what makes it so important? Why is the employer brand and company reputation the No. As do white papers, candidate surveys and unbiased research. Your co-workers and industry leaders tell you the same thing. Your gut tells you that your employer brand is critical to your talent attraction efforts. ![]() If you want to see high school for what it really is.skip "Ferris Bueller" or "10 things I hate about you", see Lucas, good stuff. I think this film is an emotional, moral masterpiece. This film really made me think about how stupid high school social structures can be, it really is that bad for some people, in fact it's worse. The great thing about this movie is that, although billed as a romantic comedy, it is more of a drama that explores the difficulty of being an outsider, this film doesn't give in to teen-flick cliches, it is almost relentless in terms of causing the audience to feel sorry for Lucas and at times it's downright scary. Complacent (2012), Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
