David Gedye's mum told him a plant story when he was just 10 years old. It involved a very famous Monkey Puzzle tree and his great great grandfather, a head gardener. That story has led him on a lifetime trail, 68 years so far, to learn more about head gardener Philip Frost and to find out about that tree. Could the story be true - did his great great grandfather carry Monkey Puzzle seed in a tin in his waistcoat pocket and plant the famous Dropmore Monkey Puzzle tree?He shares his story here. Do take a look at the episode page on the website to see the wonderful photograph of David's great great grandfather beside the tree.

This episode is fairly unique, because we're talking about a new film release and ethical investment stock picks in the same conversation, and that's because our interviewee has two careers – one in film, and one in investment.  Mark Forstmann has written and produced a new film called Climate Changers, which follows Tim Flannery's search for leadership on climate change. In it, Tim travels the world meeting leaders past and present in the hope of finding answers to his questions about the future. It is currently being  screened at selected film festivals, with a full release in September/October this year.  Mark is an Independent Investment Analyst and is currently a member of our Ethical Advisers Funds Management (EAFM) Investment Committee, so we took the opportunity to discuss some current investment examples within our Mid-Cap Australian Share portfolio. Please note that this is general information only, and not specific investment advice. Mark has 28 years' experience in investment markets including equities, currencies and fixed interest. Mark has worked with ethical fund managers such as Hunter Hall, Future Super and Morphic Asset Management, and served on the Board of the Nature Conservation Trust of NSW. He holds a Bachelor of Science from Sydney University.In his second career, Mark Forstmann is a producer, director, and writer with experience ranging across drama and documentary. A graduate of Australian Film, TV & Radio School, his first feature as writer-director, MONKEY PUZZLE, won awards at several international film festivals, including the Best Environment Film at Shanghai International Film Festival.Mark refers to recent carbon dioxide emissions  - refer to CO2 emissions - Our World in Data for a detailed reference. Finally, I'd like to explain a financial term that Mark refers to: EBIT (or EBITDA): this is an acronym for 'Earnings before interest and tax' (for EBIT) or the slightly more elaborate 'Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation' (in the case of EBITDA). In short, it shows how much operating expenses are eating into a company's profits, and the higher the EBITDA margin, the less risky a company is considered financially. I hope you enjoy this discussion with Mark Forstmann. We wish to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land we recorded on, the Wardandi Noongar people. We pay our respects to them and their culture; and to elders past, present and emerging. For more information about James Baird, JustInvest Financial Planning and EAFM and Ethical Investment Advisers see: justinvest, EAFM and ethicalinvestment.

The famous story about Archibald goes something like this: Once, Joseph Banks sent Archibald on an expedition. At some point, Archibald ended up warmly received in Chile, where he dined with the country’s leadership. During the meal, Archibald was served nuts from the Chile Pinetree to eat as part of the dessert. Archibald ate a few of the nuts, but then he managed to put a handful in his pocket after he recognized that the nuts were actually large seeds. On the trip back to England, Archibald could not wait and he started growing the five precious Chilean pinetree seeds and he managed to get them to grow successfully. Back in England, the evergreen Chili Pine Trees were blessed with a new common name - the Monkey Puzzle tree - after someone remarked that even a monkey would not be able to climb the tree. And Archibald’s unique introduction earned him the moniker “Monkey Puzzle Man.” Sadly, Monkey Puzzle trees (Araucaria araucana "arr-oh-KAR-ee-ah arr-oh-KAN-ah") are considered endangered today. But, like Archibald, gardeners still attempt to grow these curious trees from seed.   February 15, 1876 Today is the birthday of the prolific English plant collector, gardener, botanist, and explorer Ernest Henry Wilson. When the botanist Augustine Henry met with a 22-year-old Ernest Henry Wilson, he wrote to his friend, Evelyn Gleesen, to share his impressions of Ernest after their first visit together: “He is a self-made man, knows botany thoroughly, is young, and will get on.” Henry also shared with Evelyn that he, "would be glad if [Wilson] will continue to carry on the work in China which has been on my shoulders for some years. There is so much of interest and novelty." Later the same day, Henry also reported back to Kew about helping Ernest with his quest: “.... [I wrote] on a half-page of a notebook ... a sketch of a tract of country about the size of New York State [on which I marked the place where I had found the single tree of Davidia involucrata (the Dove Tree or Handkerchief Tree) in 1888. I also provided Wilson with useful information and hints.]" Henry and Ernest stayed close and corresponded for the rest of their lives. Henry returned to his native Ireland, and Ernest went on to find the Dove tree. Also known as the Handkerchief Tree, Ernest brought the Dove tree to England in 1899, and it would become his most famous tree introduction. Without a doubt, Ernest’s first trip to China was a resounding success. Ernest returned to England and provided his sponsor, the nurseryman Harry James Veitch, with seeds for over 300 species in addition to 35 very full Wardian cases. Before he left for his second trip to China, Ernest married Hellen Ganderton. And within six months, Ernest was headed back to China with another singular mission: the yellow Chinese poppy (Meconopsis integrifolia) and it's commonly known as the Lampshade Poppy. Not only did Ernest find the yellow Chinese poppy, but he also found the Regal lily, rhododendrons, roses, and primulas. During that second trip, Ernest’s leg was crushed in a landslide. As incredible as it sounds, Ernest’s leg was splinted with the legs of his camera tripod - but the story doesn’t end there. The place where the rockslide occurred was on a very narrow trail - they had been walking single file along the mountainside. Before Ernest could be moved, a mule caravan came upon Ernest and his party. So, Ernest did the only thing he could - he laid down on the trail and let the 40-50 mules step over him on their way across the mountain. I always imagine the surreal experience Ernest had there - laying there in great pain and watching the bellies and hooves and whatever else of the mules passing over him for what must have seemed an eternity. Ernest himself marveled at this experience, and he later said, "The sure-footedness of the mule is well-known, and I realized it with gratitude as these animals one by one passed over me - and not even one frayed my clothing."  After this trauma, it took Ernest a full year to walk without crutches. And forever after, Ernest walked with what he called his “lily limp.” Incredibly, when Ernest was asked about the damage to his leg, he simply said, “The price I paid has been stated… The regal lily was worth it and more."  After all of his daring experiences and bravery, it was a car crash that ultimately claimed the life of Ernest and his wife. They were driving their roadster on wet roads when their car swerved on a “carpet of leaves” and went over an embankment before plunging 40 feet onto a field - landing on the back bumper with the front wheels in the air.  Ernest and Helen died within an hour of the accident. Their little Boston terrier, however, somehow managed to survive. At the time of the accident, Ernest had been working stateside as the Arnold Arboretum’s keeper in Boston. The death of Ernest and Ellen shocked the botanical community and the country. Ernest and Ellen were survived by their daughter — a girl they had adopted and named Muriel Primrose. She was honored with the naming of a bamboo - Fargesia murielae ("Farj-eez-ee-ah Muriel-ee") commonly known as Umbrella Bamboo.   Unearthed Words Information is so tantalizingly scanty about the expedition in 1927 for gardener-botanists so distinguished that one expects all the flowers of South Africa to have bowed down to them as they passed. Three of the four appear elsewhere in this book -  Collingwood Ingram,  George Taylor, and Lawrence Johnstone of Hidcote.  The 4th, Reginald Cory, how to find Garden at Dyffryn near Cardiff,  and is gratefully remembered for the bequest of his considerable Fortune to Cambridge University for the benefit of the botanic garden, and up his magnificent Botanical and Horticultural library to The Royal Horticultural Society. — Alice Coats, English gardener and author, The Plant Hunters, Africa   Grow That Garden Library Dried Flowers by Morgane Illes This book came out in 2020, and the subtitle is Techniques and Ideas for the Modern Home. In this book, Morgane updates our preconceived notions regarding dried flowers. If dried flowers aren’t intriguing to you or if you feel that they belong in your 3rd-great grandmother’s steamer trunk along with vintage lace - get ready to be inspired. Morgane brings preserved florals out of the past and into the modern home. Selected for their color, texture, and architectural interest, Morgane's top 30 picks for blooms continue to look incredible after being preserved through drying or pressing.  In addition, Morgane showcases fifteen projects that feature dried flowers — from wreaths and wall art, to terrariums and flower crowns.   This book is 144 pages of preserved blooms that will enhance your home with everlasting beauty.

David shared his advice at the 1992 Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle. “In many instances, the city yard can be used as an outside room. You can extend the space inside the house out into the garden and make the two work as a single unit. It is important, especially for North Americans with large, open backyards, to break down the garden space into a series of smaller rooms. One of the great tricks of landscape design is to create a sense of mystery and surprise as you move from one space into another. If you see everything at once, it becomes uninteresting. But if you break the space down into individual rooms, it becomes inherently more interesting. [England has] some remarkable gardens, but the average backyard is a lot more mundane than most people imagine. We're a nation of plant-lovers, but we're certainly not a nation of garden designers. A lot of our gardens are too busy and overcomplicated.”   Next, David offered the following tips for people thinking of making a garden: “Don't let your garden end up a muddle of hard and soft landscaping. Take time to draw up a plan. "Most people tend to rush off to the garden center the first fine day, stick everything in the trunk, and then wonder where to plant it all.”  Before planting anything, put in all the hard landscaping, all the decking, walling, paving, the bones, and composition of the gardening. Plants will bring the garden to life, softening the hard surfaces. Keep the design and planting simple. Many gardens suffer from over-complication and gimmicks. Be careful not to use conflicting materials that can be "restless on the eye and hard on the pocket."  Resist the temptation to plant too many different things. The well-planted border has a limited number of species that relate well to one another. "There are many foliage textures, colors, and shapes that give you interest throughout the year." You have to think about foliage and texture as well as flower."  Remember what Gertrude Jekyll, the famous Edwardian garden designer, taught: hot colors (reds, yellows) foreshorten the space through their vibrancy. "If you put a pot of bright red flowers at the bottom of the garden, your eye will go straight to it. Use hot colors close to the viewpoint and cooler colors farther away. It gives a nice feeling of space, and small gardens can be made to feel larger."  Do your homework before planting. Find out if a plant likes sun or shade and how big it will grow. "I'm a great believer in growing what does well in my climate. I won't plant things that are going to look unhappy. I'd much sooner have something that thrives than something that's good for a couple of seasons and then gets knocked off by bad weather."  Don't bite off more than you can chew in one season. Take a few years to build your garden.”   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Se fundó en 1969 en la ciudad de Londres por Phil Mogg en la voz, Mick Bolton en la guitarra, Pete Way en el bajo y por Andy Parker en la batería, inicialmente bajo el nombre de Hocus Pocus. En el mismo año y durante una presentación en el bar UFO Club de la capital británica, fueron descubiertos por Noel Moore propietario del sello Beacon Records, que les ofreció su primer contrato discográfico. Tras ello, decidieron cambiar su nombre al actual en honor al club londinense.2? En julio de 1970 ingresaron a los Estudios Jackson para grabar su álbum debut UFO 1, publicado en octubre del mismo año. Este primer trabajo recibió gran atención en Japón, Francia y en Alemania, gracias al clásico sonido del hard rock aunque con toques del rock psicodélico.3? El álbum contó con una versión del tema «C'mon Everybody» del cantante Eddie Cochran, que obtuvo el primer lugar en las listas del país nipón.4? Al año siguiente publicaron el álbum UFO 2: Flying, que contiene solo cinco canciones con sonidos mezclados entre el hard rock, rock espacial y el heavy metal. Con este segundo trabajo volvieron a cosechar éxito en el país asiático y en otros países de Europa, sin embargo no llamó la atención en el Reino Unido ni en los Estados Unidos.2? Gracias al gran recibimiento entre los fanáticos japoneses a sus dos primeros trabajos, la banda tocó por primera vez en aquel país en 1971 en donde se grabó el disco en vivo Live, conocido también como UFO Lands in Tokyo, álbum que solo fue lanzado en ese país. Posteriormente fue remasterizado y relanzado en 1999 por el sello Repertoire Records, en varios países.5? En enero de 1972 y durante la gira promocional, Mick Bolton dejó el grupo por motivos personales produciendo que la banda buscara a un nuevo guitarrista para terminar las presentaciones restantes. Los escogidos fueron los guitarristas Larry Wallis del grupo Pink Fairies, que estuvo entre febrero y noviembre del mismo año y durante el mes de diciembre fueron acompañados por Bernie MarsdenDurante la corta estadía de Bernie Marsden grabaron solo el demo de «Give Her the Gun», publicado a mediados de 1973. Mientras estuvieron de gira por Alemania Occidental con la banda Scorpions como soporte, los británicos se interesaron en el talento del joven guitarrista Michael Schenker de tan solo diecinueve años. Tras la salida de Marsden, UFO contactó a Schenker que aceptó integrarse a la banda a pesar de no hablar inglés, en junio de 1973.6? Luego y a fines del mismo año, firmaron un nuevo contrato con el sello Chrysalis Records y establecieron relaciones de trabajo con el músico Leo Lyons, integrante de Ten Years After, para producir los siguientes discos de estudio. A principios de 1974 entraron en los Estudios Morgan para lanzar en mayo el tercer álbum Phenomenon, con un sonido mas cargado al hard rock y heavy metal. De este destacaron algunos de sus mayores éxitos como «Doctor Doctor» y «Rock Bottom», que recibieron buenas críticas gracias al estilo y talento de Schenker.2? Para la gira promocional del álbum, fue contratado el guitarrista Paul Chapman exintegrante de la banda irlandesa Skid Row, aunque solo permaneció en la banda hasta enero de 1975 ya que se retiró para formar la banda Lone Star. En julio de 1975 fue publicado el álbum Force It, que continuó con el sonido del trabajo anterior y que les permitió entrar por primera vez en la lista Billboard 200 de los Estados Unidos en el puesto 71.7? En este trabajo participó como músico invitado Chick Churchill, integrante de Ten Years After tocando los teclados, siendo la primera aparición de este instrumento en un disco de la banda. Por su parte y para promocionarlo, fueron lanzados los sencillos «Shoot Shoot» y «Let It Roll» en el mismo año.8? En 1976 y gracias a los nuevos sonidos que les brindó los teclados, la banda contrató al músico argentino y exintegrante de Heavy Metal Kids Danny Peyronel precisamente en el puesto de teclista, para lanzar en mayo del mismo año el álbum No Heavy Petting, que nuevamente entró en las listas estadounidenses en el puesto 167, pero no obtuvo la misma recepción comercial de los dos anteriores.7? De este álbum destacó la power ballad «Belladona», un gran éxito radial en la URSS, que posteriormente la haría famosa el músico ruso Alexander Barykin gracias a su versión publicado en 1979La gira promocional les permitió tocar en varios países de Europa, como también y por primera vez en algunas ciudades estadounidenses. Tras esta gira, Peyronel fue despedido y luego formó su propia banda The Blue Max. Con la idea de incluir a un nuevo integrante, para ocupar los puestos de guitarrista rítmico y teclista, Michael llamó a Paul Raymond de la banda Savoy Brown, que rápidamente aceptó la ofertaCon Raymond como integrante activo en el grupo, UFO buscó al productor Ron Nevison conocido por trabajar con Led Zeppelin y Thin Lizzy, entre otros. Con él grabaron el sexto álbum de estudio Lights Out, publicado en mayo de 1977, que debutó por primera vez en la lista del país británico en el puesto 54 y en el lugar 23 en los Estados Unidos.7?9? Con este nuevo disco, la banda se ganó buenas críticas tanto en las tierras europeas como en las norteamericanas, gracias a éxitos como «Love to Love», «Lights Out» y el cover de «Alone Again Or» de la banda Love. Tras la gira promocional por los Estados Unidos a principios de 1978, la banda se estableció en Los Ángeles (California), para grabar el disco Obsession publicado en junio del mismo año. A pesar que no fue aclamado y no recibió buenas críticas como el trabajo anterior fue más exitoso en las listas británicas, ya que alcanzó el puesto 26.9? De este destacó el sencillo «Only You Can Rock Me», el primero en entrar en la lista UK Singles Chart en el lugar 50Desde mediados de 1977 las tensiones personales entre Schenker y Mogg aumentaron considerablemente, debido al temperamento del guitarrista alemán. Debido a ello en ocasiones, generalmente en las presentaciones en vivo, dejaba de tocar la guitarra, no realizaba los solos o simplemente dejaba el escenario. Esto provocó pésimas relaciones entre él y el resto de la agrupación durante la gira promocional de Obsession en 1978, a tal punto que Schenker abandonó la banda, obligando a esta a buscar a Paul Chapman para culminar las presentaciones restantes.6? Tras su salida fue invitado por su hermano Rudolf Schenker para participar de las grabaciones del disco Lovedrive. Sin embargo abandonó nuevamente a Scorpions, afirmando que no sentía cómodo tocando canciones de otros.10? Así entonces en 1980 creó su propia banda Michael Schenker Group.2? Sin embargo y antes de su partida, la banda alcanzó a grabar las presentaciones en directo en las ciudades estadounidenses de Chicago y Louisville, para lanzar el que fue su primer álbum en vivo oficial Strangers in the Night. Publicado en 1979, obtuvo críticas positivas a tal punto de ser considerado como uno de los mejores discos en vivo en la historia del rock.11? Este disco además obtuvo el primer top 10 en el Reino Unido, alcanzando el puesto 7 en los UK Albums Chart y también les otorgó su primer disco de plata, al superar las 60 000 copias vendidas en el país británicoCon Paul "Tonka" Chapman como músico activo grabaron el octavo álbum de estudio No Place to Run, publicado en enero de 1980, que contó con la producción de George Martin conocido en el mundo por su trabajo con The Beatles. Con este disco cambió en parte el sonido de UFO, que provocó algunos problemas con los fánaticos de toda la vida, sin embargo les permitió obtener el puesto 11 en el Reino Unido y el segundo disco de plata, por vender más de 60 000 copias en el mencionado país.12? Tras el término de la gira promocional de No Place to Run, el teclista Paul Raymond se retiró de la banda para ingresar en la banda de su excompañero Michael Schenker. Para suplantar su cupo en la banda, buscaron al guitarrista y teclista Neil Carter de la banda Wild Horses y junto a él lanzaron el álbum The Wild, the Willing and the Innocent en 1981, que fue producido por ellos mismos no obteniendo la recepción esperada.2? En 1982 apareció en el mercado mundial el siguiente disco Mechanix, que obtuvo el puesto 8 en el Reino Unido, el segundo más alto de toda la historia de UFO en su país natal.9? Tras la gira promocional el bajista Pete Way recibió una invitación por parte de Eddie Clarke, para integrar su nuevo proyecto Fastway. Luego de estar solo un par de meses en aquella banda, Way fundó su propia banda Waysted en 1983.3? En febrero del mismo año lanzaron el disco Making Contact, en donde Chapman y Carter tuvieron que tocar el bajo debido a que no contrataron un nuevo músico para ese puesto durante las grabaciones del álbum. Tras la gira promocional, junto al bajista Billy Sheehan como músico invitado, Mogg decidió poner fin a la banda por la mala recepción de sus últimos discos y por los constantes cambios y salidas de sus integrantes, lo que hacía inestable la carrera de UFOLuego de dos años que Mogg disolvió la banda, se estableció en la ciudad de Los Ángeles (California), donde se reencontró con Raymond y decidieron reformar UFO con nuevos integrantes. Para ello contrataron a Tommy McClendon conocido por su alias como Atomik Tommy M. en la guitarra, al exbajista de la banda inglesa Eddie and the Hot Rods, Paul Gray, y al baterista Robbie France, que meses más tarde sería reemplazado por exmúsico de Magnum, Jim Simpson.2? En 1985 esta nueva alineación lanzó al mercado mundial el álbum Misdemeanor, que alcanzó puestos similares a los álbumes anteriores en las listas musicales. En agosto de 1986, mientras estaban de gira por Estados Unidos, Paul Raymond nuevamente se retiró de la banda, asumiendo su puesto el teclista David Jacobson como músico invitado. En el mismo año, es decir en 1986, grabaron el EP Ain't Misbehavin' que apareció dos años después en el mercado, ya que el sello Chrysalis puso fin al contrato con ellos, debido a los malos resultados de sus discos. Por ende en 1988 este EP fue lanzado por Revolver Records para el Reino Unido y por Metal Blade Records para los Estados Unidos.13? En 1988 y por segunda vez Mogg puso fin a la banda, por los malos resultados de los dos últimos trabajos y por no sentirse cómodo con la labor de los nuevos integrantesA principios de la década de los noventa, Mogg y Way se reunieron y decidieron reformar la banda con nuevos integrantes. Para ello contrataron a Laurence Archer exguitarrista de la agrupación británica Stampede, al baterista Clive Edwards conocido por participar con los músicos Uli Jon Roth y Pat Travers, y al teclista Don Airey que anteriormente trabajó con Rainbow y Gary Moore. Con esta nueva alineación publicaron en 1992 el álbum High Stakes & Dangerous Men, que les permitió regresar a su clásico sonido. Tras la gira promocional y con alto apoyo de sus fanáticos, Mogg y Way iniciaron las conversaciones con los otros antiguos miembros para reunir a la clásica alineación de los años setenta. Tras algunos acuerdos contractuales y monetarios, Michael Schenker, Paul Raymond y Andy Parker se unieron a Mogg y Way por primera vez desde 1978, iniciando una extensa gira de dos años por el mundo.2? Con los cinco integrantes clásicos grabaron el disco Walk on Water en 1995, que fue lanzado solo en Japón, pero posteriormente fue publicado en los mercados europeos con el pasar de los años.8? Al momento de promocionar el disco con la gira correspondiente, el baterista Andy Parker se retiró de la banda por problemas personales siendo reemplazado por Simon Wright exmúsico de AC/DC. Lamentablemente las diferencias entre Mogg y Schenker reaparecieron, provocando que este último se alejara de la banda en medio de la gira en 1997, causando la cancelación de las últimas fechas. Luego de algunas conversaciones con el mánager, Michael regresó en 1998 solo para tocar en algunos shows de las reprogramadas fechas canceladas a mediados de 1997. Tras ello todos los músicos de UFO prefirieron separarse nuevamente. A pesar de esto último Phil Mogg y Pete Way fueron los únicos que continuaron trabajando juntos y crearon la banda Mogg/Way, con la cual lanzaron los álbumes Edge of the World en 1997 y Chocolate Box en 1999.3? En el año 2000 y tras firmar con el sello Shrapnel Records, nuevamente la banda se reúnió pero esta vez sin Raymond y con el baterista Aynsley Dunbar, conocido por sus participaciones en los álbumes de Frank Zappa.3? En julio del mismo año fue publicado el décimo quinto álbum de estudio Covenant, que en algunas ediciones fue lanzado junto a un disco en vivo denominado Live USA. A pesar de los rumores de la prensa sobre las malas relaciones entre Schenker y Mogg, la alineación permaneció hasta el 2002 para lanzar el disco Sharks, que recibió gran apoyo de los fanáticos europeos durante la gira.8? En 2003 y con la gira culminada Schenker se retiró de la banda, pero antes creó el proyecto The Plot junto a Pete Way y al baterista Jeff Martin, con la cual publicaron el disco homónimo en el mismo año.Con las partidas definitivas de Schenker y Dunbar, el resto de la banda contrató a Vinnie Moore y a Jason Bonham para los puestos de guitarrista y baterista respectivamente. Con la idea de relanzar nuevamente la carrera de la banda, a fines de 2003 firmaron con el sello SPV/Steamhammer Records y entablaron relaciones con el productor Tommy Newton para trabajar en los álbumes siguientes. En marzo de 2004 apareció en los mercados el disco You Are Here, que además marcó el retorno de Raymond a la agrupación tras cerca de cinco años fuera de ella. Durante la gira promocional fue grabado el primer doble DVD titulado Showtime, que fue lanzado en noviembre de 2005 junto a un disco compacto en vivo. En este mismo mes, el baterista original Andy Parker regresó para la presentación en el Piorno Rock Festival celebrado en Granada, España, quedando en ese puesto hasta el día de hoy. En 2006 fue lanzado el décimo octavo álbum de estudio The Monkey Puzzle, que fue considerado como el disco más pesado de la banda después de la salida del guitarrista alemán Michael Schenker. En 2009 y antes de ingresar a los estudios para la grabación de un nuevo disco Way fue diagnosticado de serios problemas al hígado, por la cual sus médicos le recomendaron no participar en las grabaciones.14? Finalmente en junio del mismo año fue publicado el álbum The Visitor con la participación de Peter Pichl, miembro de Nektar como músico de sesión en el puesto de bajista. El trabajo además debutó en el puesto 99 en el Reino Unido, siendo el primer álbum en volver aparecer en la lista UK Albums Chart, desde Misdemeanor de 1985.9? Luego que Way no pudo recuperarse a tiempo para la gira promocional, la banda contrató a Rob De Luca conocido como el bajista de Sebastian Bach para las presentaciones entre los años 2009 y 2011.15? Para la segunda parte y a mediados de 2011 fue también contratado Barry Sparks en el mencionado puesto. Por otro lado y en el mismo año, los exmiembros de la banda Danny Peyronel, Laurence Archer, Clive Edwards y junto a Rocky Newton, exbajista de McAuley Schenker Group, fundaron la banda X-UFO, con la cual dan presentaciones en vivo tocando distintas canciones de UFO. En 2012 fue lanzado el vigésimo disco llamado Seven Deadly, que nuevamente debutó en las listas musicales del Reino Unido en el puesto 63.9? Este al igual que el anterior fue grabado junto a un bajista de sesión, ya que la banda no quiso contratar a un reemplazante de Pete Way. Sin embargo para la gira promocional fueron nuevamente acompañados por Rob De Luca, tras la salida definitiva de Way. En 2013 en una entrevista a Paul Raymond contó que estaban preparando un nuevo disco de estudio, pero que hasta ese momento no tenían confirmado nada. Finalmente en febrero de 2015 se puso a la venta A Conspiracy of Stars, el primer álbum con Rob De Luca como miembro oficial del grupo.Escucha este episodio completo y accede a todo el contenido exclusivo de Biblioteca Del Metal (Recopilation).

Is there really a cure for perfectionism? How can you make your work far superior in a shorter amount of time, often moving ahead of your peers? The answer lies in nature. In this episode we look at two different kind of plants: the monkey puzzle tree and the campion flower. The monkey puzzle tree stands for perfection, but the campion flower is able to make 120 dramatic changes while the monkey puzzle struggles with perfection. Interesting? Find out more in this episode and get rid of your perfection sooner than you think. Read the article online: https://www.psychotactics.com/use-procrastination/overcome-perfection -------------- You've probably heard of the Monkey Puzzle tree. The Monkey Puzzle tree is a conifer that grows to 40 metres (130 feet) and may live for hundreds of years. Yet, there's a bit of a problem because the tree doesn't reach sexual maturity until it's 40 years old. Compare the Monkey Puzzle tree with a Campion flower and the flower looks puny at just a foot or two. But here's where it all gets very interesting. The Campion flower reproduces within just four months. This means that while the Monkey Puzzle tree goes through a single generation, the Campion flower goes through 120 generations. And with every generation, there's a possibility of a genetic mutation. That mutation that may give it some slight super power to help it survive and thrive. The speed of the lifecycle means one very crucial thing: The species can adapt to rapid changes in the environment. There's a far greater chance of them getting better, hardier, different and possibly superior. Perfection, on the other hand, doesn't allow for speedy turnarounds Many of us like the idea of perfection, toiling away at our work, in order to reach a seemingly impossible goal. And like the Monkey Puzzle tree, we put ourselves at a disadvantage that's may seem hard to measure. But in reality, it's relatively easier to measure, and that's exactly what we've done on our courses like the Article Writing Course; or when training our niece, Marsha. We've seen speed work better when learning to cook or learning to draw cartoons. And yet this isn't a clarion call for shoddiness. In this series we'll explore the importance of speed vs. perfection, while also giving a nod towards really outstanding work. But is it all about speed? Doesn't a lack of speed play its role? All of this information is about to follow, so stay tuned, little Campion flower. How speedy progress reduces drain on energy Marsha, my niece, was struggling in maths in Year 4 and seemed to be almost at the bottom of the class. Four years later, she won a distinction in maths for being among the top performers in the class. This year (five years later), teachers routinely call on her to evaluate and help with corrections of tests, plus she often gets called to the board to demonstrate how she solves a problem. And you might have an inkling how Marsha was able to make this dramatic turnaround Yes, there's hard work, and there's good mentoring. In fact, on IXL alone (which is an app for maths learning), Marsha has solved over 18,000 problems. Staggering as that figure might seem, there are two ways to get anything done. The first way is to be slow and methodical. The second way is to beat the clock. In a Psychotactics course, clients are trained to beat the clock When you're conducting a live course at a venue, it's easy to monitor what clients are doing. However, the moment you conduct a course online, it's impossible to tell how much time and effort is being put into a project. You don't get to see the drafts, the cancellations and the huge volume of edits. All you ever see is the finished work. However, on Psychotactics courses, we have a simple bunch of questions that need to be answered every single day. One of the questions are: how much time did you take to finish this project? In order to answer the question, it's important for the client to monitor the time. Which is why it concerned me deeply when one of the clients wrote her answer, after doing her article writing assignment. “Three hours”. Three hours? Three hours for an article? I'd imagined my instructions were clear enough. That you needed to get the job done as quickly as possible, but I wasn't counting on the perfection monster. It's not hard to imagine the state of that client.—let's call her Candidate No.1. Perhaps she started the assignment at 9 pm, after an incredibly hard day. At midnight, the article is still not perfect, but she's too tired to argue with her drooping eyelids. She hits “publish” and the article is done. On the other hand, we have Candidate No. 2 who rigidly follows instructions and stops typing the moment the clock strikes the 90 minute mark. Whose article will be superior? The article of Candidate No. 1 or No.2? The answer is that they're both not very good. When you're just starting to learn to draw, write, dance or draw cartoons, you know approximately where your ultimate goal lies. As broadcaster, Ira Glass says: You have style. You know what the finished product looks like but there's this gap between what you would like to see, and what you can produce right now. Hence, both the articles are usually very early versions of a good article and nowhere close to amazing. Yet one person has taken three hours while the other has stopped diligently at 90 minutes. Who's going to be more tired? Who's going to make more mistakes as the fatigue sets in? Who's going to be struggling both at work and to complete the assignment the next day? And what about the day after next and the day that follows it? The Campion flower comes to mind, doesn't it? It's all very fine to aspire to be a Monkey Puzzle tree and soar at 100 feet or more. However, the Campion flower concept is what we all need to get there. Which is exactly what Renuka did with Marsha's maths tuition. Instead of considering her situation, which was pretty dire four-five years ago, she simply gave her an assignment and used a timer. Invariably the mistakes would soar at the start, but all the mistakes were made in a precise amount of time, giving Marsha, a chance to recover. The brain learns a lot while doing the task, but the downtime is just as, if not more vital, in the learning and implementation process. Whether it's cooking a meal or completing a project, you should be a Campion flower This goal is important, because it allows you to make a huge number of mistakes. Skill, or talent, is really a reduction of errors, so you need to make the errors and then reduce or eliminate them completely. If you take your time over a project, you can only make a fixed no. of errors. Which is why, on a course, on in a workshop, I encourage clients to do their assignments quickly, rather than perfectly. Which means that if a client were to do their assignment early in the morning, they could get a correction, possibly many corrections within an hour or so. By their break time they could fix their minor errors while having a cup of coffee. Then at noon, another correction later, they could fine tune their errors (after I corrected their third or fourth tweak of the assignment). By tea time they could have gone through four or five drafts, and with every submission, they'd have fewer errors to fix. However, only the first submission would be lengthy. The submissions through the day would be shorter, and we'd be tweaking nuances which don't take too much energy or focus. Now compare this with ol' Monkey Puzzle client The client who waits all day, mulling and toiling over his work. When he finally submits it, late at night, he misses out on all those nuances, but more importantly from an evolutionary point of view, he's barely budged at all. Ironically it's the speed that has created more errors, more genetic modifications to the skill. If you're trying to be perfect, your Monkey Puzzle submission is the worst possible way to go about it. Energy is crucial when working on any project Creating versions, or tiny bits, to a fixed deadline and moving on to the next version might seem like a pretty idiotic method to go about your work. However, the main point of this article is that your work will not improve dramatically if you put 200% more time, or 300% more time. If, on the other hand, you create more versions of the same job, you will almost always see a fairly dramatic improvement. Even when we are struggling to learn or implement something, we are almost always able to come back and do the same thing better, the second time around. Let's say you're recording a YouTube video or a screencast. Not one of us is surprised to find the third or fourth version to be superior. If you're asked to take four different pictures of an object, you'll find yourself composing the picture a tiny bit better in the second, third, or fourth round. Even in the movies, they do many takes, not because they have money and time to blow, but because the versions improve with every take. Instead of trying to labour onwards with your first version, it's almost better to move on to the second and third and fourth—and to a deadline. The problem is we often look at projects as a whole For instance, you see yourself as writing ONE article, doing ONE podcast, writing ONE book. However, the bigger picture is far more important. What if you had to write an article a day? Or a book a month? What would you do differently? The changes you'd make would all be energy-dependent. You'd work in short, intense bursts, improving as you went along. And you'd proceed to create a greater volume of work, and far, far superior work than your peers. Doesn't painstaking work count? Yes it does. You want to do outstanding work and take loads of time over it. However, just working as a perfectionist, means you're going to just manage a single version of your work. If two people: Person A and Person B were to start the same assignment on the same day, the person that lavished more attention to their work would have a much better result. However, that advantage would not stay in place for long. Within a few weeks, Person B would be far ahead of Person A. And just remember one thing. What you consider to be imperfect is often just your own perception. If the client or the person receiving your work is happy with it, there's really not a reason in the world to be a perfectionist. If you truly want to do outstanding work, you have to be Person B most of the time, occasionally slipping back to your Person A perfection level. The greater the output, the better your work is going to be, especially if you take feedback as you move along. Marsha moved at a high speed, but the program always gave her feedback. The students on a course move quickly and they get feedback just as rapidly, thus allowing them to make big changes. The painstaking work is great when you have the luxury of time. Ironically, that time never seems to be on the horizon, so we have to improve even as we battle deadlines. One more point and we're done I really struggled to write this article. I wrote one version, then cancelled it. Then another version, and that too was deleted. In fact, I ditched well over 1000-1500 words including some really nice stories because I realised they didn't fit. However, I had a deadline for this article. And right now, I'm seven minutes over the deadline. Which is why I must stop. In short, you make your revisions, learn from the feedback, but then there's a deadline that you can only overshoot by a tiny margin. After which you have to hit “publish”. And that's exactly what I'm going to do in about three seconds. Three, two, one… Epilogue Let's face it. If you consider yourself to be a perfectionist, well, you'd have spent almost all your life being told, or telling yourself that you're a perfectionist. You're probably trying to shake that habit, but it's easy to see why it's easier to stay in your comfort zone. Well, here's what psychologists suggest If you want to break out of your comfort zone, you stretch yourself ever so slightly. If you're labouring over a single article for several hours, how about spending half the time getting to the same goal? Your work may not be as perfect as you hoped, but it gives you a chance to get feedback and to improve your next article. If you're struggling to do one cartoon (correctly, of course), how about drawing just two, getting feedback and drawing even more in the given time? It's easy for an article like this to suggest that you need to take a big leap That massive jump may not be possible. Instead, take a smaller one—just a slight stretch goal. Set yourself the time in which you'll complete the job, stop, and get feedback. Then, tomorrow, do the same. If you follow this simple formula you'll find yourself less exhausted and with more energy. However, the biggest benefit of all is you'll become far better and far quicker at what you're doing. And that's what you wanted anyway, didn't you? You wanted perfection! So there you go! P.S. Oh, and print a picture of the monkey puzzle tree! Stick it on a prominent place where you can see it, just in case you forget. And don't look for the perfect picture. Any picture will do. Next Up:  How to use procrastination to your advantage
