Kürzlich erschien Backtrain Places, das erste Album von Palinstar. Es ist bei weitem nicht das erste Album, auf dem Sarah Palin zu hören ist (man denke nur an Stadtfilter-Faves JJ & Palin, Phil Hayes + The Trees, One Sentence. Supervisor oder Kush K). Aber es ist doch ihr erstes Solo-Album. Also höchste Zeit für ein "outfly" nach Winterthur ins Stadtfilterstudio! Im Interview mit Simeon Thompson spricht sie über die Entstehung der Lieder und den Prozess, den sie dabei musikalisch und auch im Leben durchgemacht hat. Foto: Raffaella Bachmann

THE ONE SENTENCE SUMMARYLet's be honest, here. Sometimes I throw the word “sexy” into a podcast title just to get Shaun to pay attention.But the one-sentence summary is kind of sexy.Over on the Advanced Fiction Writing Blog, Randy Ingermanson writes:In that summary, you want:To show us the setting via information about where or when the story is happening. What Ingersoll calls “a paradoxical description of a major character.” Something weird/shocking/surprising that makes you think of that story question Something sexy. He calls this an emotive/kicker word.Why is this sexy?It's sexy because if you can do this, you can understand your novel. Understanding is sexy. It becomes a map for your novel. You can see where you've gone off on a tangent, where things don't adhere to that sexy summary.Us writers often go off on tangents.Or as Nico Waters on Rene Pen says,“It's the quickest way to explain or write what your book is about. It's the hook to entice readers to want to buy your book. It also serves as our compass, our true north, as we continue writing the book.”Waters has a great post about this and shows three formulas to do this, too.DOG TIP FOR LIFEDon't be afraid to amuse yourself.

On this episode of Lochhead on Marketing, Category Pirates Christopher Lochhead and Eddie Yoon talk about the power of simplifying business strategies into a One-Sentence Strategy. They discuss how successful companies, from large enterprises to solopreneurs, leverage concise strategies to drive focus and alignment. Highlighting examples like Gillette's "revenue per user per year" and Microsoft's "a computer on every desktop," they emphasize the importance of clarity and customer-centric approaches. The episode underscores that while crafting a one-sentence strategy is challenging, it is essential for achieving cohesive company culture and long-term success. Welcome to Lochhead on Marketing. The number one charting marketing podcast for marketers, category designers, and entrepreneurs with a different mind. The Power of Having One Clear Strategy Eddie Yoon emphasizes that the most successful businesses, regardless of their size, often operate under a singular, clear metric or strategy. This simplicity allows for better focus and alignment across the organization. He cites the example of Gillette, which used "revenue per user per year" (RUPI) and "profit per user per year" (PUPI) as their guiding metrics. This approach not only streamlined their decision-making but also ensured that all team members understood their primary objectives. Christopher & Eddie then give examples of several legendary companies that have thrived due to their clear, concise strategies. For instance, Microsoft's one-sentence strategy was "a computer on every desktop," which guided their product development and marketing efforts for decades. Similarly, YETI, known for its premium ice coolers, positioned itself with the straightforward strategy of offering a "premium ice cooler," differentiating itself from traditional, lower-cost options. The Importance of Customer Focus They also point out how these companies maintain a customer-centric approach. For example, the Keurig coffee system was built around the idea of convenience and choice, with the metric of "K-cups per brewer per day" driving their business decisions. This focus on customer experience and satisfaction is crucial for long-term success. Christopher explains that while these strategies are simple to understand, executing them effectively is often challenging. He notes that when a company has a clear strategy, it becomes easier to align employees, investors, and customers towards a common goal. This alignment is essential for fostering a cohesive company culture and driving growth. The Challenge of Crafting a One-Sentence Strategy Creating a one-sentence strategy is not a straightforward task. It requires deep reflection and a thorough understanding of the business's core mission and values. Christopher & Eddie discuss how many organizations settle for vague or overly complex strategies, which can lead to confusion and misalignment. They advocate for a rigorous process of distillation, where businesses must sift through their ideas and focus on what truly matters. One of the standout examples is the Ritz-Carlton's guiding principle: "Ladies and gentlemen serving ladies and gentlemen." This simple yet profound statement encapsulates their commitment to exceptional service and sets a high standard for their employees. It illustrates how a well-crafted strategy can inspire and elevate a brand's identity. To hear more From Christopher & Eddie about the One-Sentence Strategy, download and listen to this episode.

This week I am thrilled to be talking with Jacquelyn Mitchard, the New York Times bestselling author of 23 novels for adults and teenagers. Her newest novel is "A Very Inconvenient Scandal," and her first novel, "The Deep End of the Ocean" was the first selection of the Oprah Winfrey book club and has sold more than 3 million copies and been translated into 34 languages. This week's episodes are replays. I'm replaying because Jacquelyn was my first VERY big name guest and honestly I'm reliving the high. Come relive it with me! We covered: - How losing her husband in her late thirties put her on a quest to publish a novel "to prove that I could have a second act" - How, when Oprah called, she deleted the messages because she felt it must have been a friend pranking her - How she would most definitely NOT write even if she didn't get paid - How the hardest part of the work is coming up with the idea - How Jacquelyn's dreams help her write her books - How she writes her book one sentence at a time, from start to finish, like building a skyscraper - The realities of being chronically sleep deprived - The difference between copying and stealing - Living on the Cape, yet hating the beach - Why she only ever has one cup of coffee For full show notes with links to everything we discuss, plus bonus photos!, visit katehanley.substack.com.

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.Note: As I mentioned in yesterday's OSN, this will be the last edition of the email and podcast for the foreseeable future, as I'll be reinvesting the (substantial amount of) time and effort required to produce it each day in other things (including a new, news-related project called “Some Thoughts About”).If you're a paying OSN subscriber, the balance of your payment will be refunded, and the OSN archive will be opened up, all paywalls removed.Thank you so much for supporting this project, and for caring enough to spend some of your time, each day, learning about what's happening in the world around you.(And if you want to fill the news-shaped hole in your heart with another pod and/or email, I run a news analysis podcast called Let's Know Things, and a weekly email of curated links to news-related things called Notes On the News.)Gay sex ban in Namibia ruled unconstitutionalSummary: A Namibian court has ruled that same-sex acts between consenting men are no longer illegal in the country, and that laws which declared them to be illegal are themselves unconstitutional.Context: These laws only ever declared same-sex acts between men illegal, not women, and it's still illegal to marry someone of the same sex in the country, but this is considered to be a big deal because these laws made gay relationships taboo and fueled a lot of discrimination toward anyone who was, or seemed to be, gay—a social stance that also made it more difficult to provide health services, like HIV vaccines and treatments, to folks in a region in which infection rates are very high.—BBC NewsOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication. To support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.On day of fatal BP refinery blast, 3,712 safety alarms and one unsent emailSummary: An explosion at a BP oil refinery in Ohio in 2022 was preceded by thousands of safety alarms and a breakdown in communication between daytime and evening shift workers, according to a new report from federal investigators who spent two years looking into the blast, which killed two refinery workers.Context: Among other things, the report indicates that BP neglected to shut down production at the refinery when warning signs indicated they should, and they didn't fix obvious issues with equipment, despite having been told over and over about these issues by employees, and these issues eventually culminated with a series of malfunctions, 3,712 alarms in a 12-hour period, and an explosion that led to even more warnings, confusion, and delayed responses; the refinery has since been sold to a Canadian company, which says it restarted production at the facility last year, and that it's working with regulators to make improvements and upgrade safety measures.—The Wall Street JournalIndonesia is trying to block LGBTQIA content from the internetSummary: A new Indonesian bill, which is based on an earlier proposed bill that was shelved following widespread public backlash, would restrict content in the country that portrays “LGBTQIA behavior,” and anything that shows lifestyles or actions that might be imitated by the public, allowing the government to shut down or censor social platforms, TV networks, and other broadcast mediums, alongside the people using them to share content, using fines and license cancellations; the bill also places limits on investigative journalism in the country. Context: That earlier, shelved bill would have forced LGBTQIA Indonesian people into conversion therapy programs, and this new one approaches the same topic from a different angle, its terms vague enough that it would apparently—according to criticisms from legal experts and opponents in the country—allow the government to shut down and silence any publication, journalist, influencer, or network it doesn't like, which would extend its existing censorship powers, which it justifies by claiming it needs to tackle so-called fake news; international human rights groups have noted a significant rightward-shift in Indonesia's government in recent years, and this new proposed bill is likely to be passed before the current president leaves office later this year.—Rest of WorldPart of what's informing the rate of electrification (and the deployment of renewable energy sources) in various countries is the cost of electricity versus competitive fuel types (like gas); in China, electricity is cheaper than gas, which makes deploying more clean sources of electricity an easier bet, though they're also at that point, in part, because of previous investments in the same (at a time in which other sources were more competitive).—Sustainability By Numbers1011Number of drones the US has approved for sale to Taiwan for about $360 million.That figure includes 720 Switchblade missiles (and its accompanying fire-control systems), and up to 291 Altius 600M loitering munitions (and supporting components).Despite never having controlled it, China claims Taiwan as its own, and has threatened to take the island nation by force, if necessary; this sale was approved in the midst of a more-intense-than-usual pressure campaign from China to keep Taiwan isolated from outside influences, and pull it into its sphere of influence.—CNNTrust Click Get full access to One Sentence News at onesentencenews.substack.com/subscribe

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.Note: This is a difficult note to write, because I love OSN and I know there are a lot of people who read and listen to it, and who rely on it to help them maintain a situational awareness about the world.But I recently made the decision to put OSN on pause, indefinitely, so I can reallocate the (significant) time and energy required to produce it each day to other things, for the foreseeable future. I'm truly sorry to those who will be disappointed by this decision, but thank you very much for your support, attention, and for caring about what happens in the world.So! Tomorrow's (Friday) edition of the email will be the last one, for now.If you're a paying OSN subscriber, you'll be refunded whatever balance is left on your subscription—I'll leave the OSN archive online, but I'm removing the option to pay for it, as while I may come back to it at some point, I don't know when that might be and I don't want to tie up your money for the duration.(I'm still running my news analysis podcast, Let's Know Things, and I curate a weekly selection of news-related links in my Notes On the News email, if you're interested.)Thanks again, and I'll see you one more time, tomorrow :)Kenyan protesters promise more rallies after at least 23 die in clashesSummary: Protestors in Kenya, demonstrating against new tax hikes in the country, fought with police outside parliament earlier this week, eventually breaking into the parliamentary compound just minutes after the body voted in favor of these hikes; 23 people were killed during these protests across the country, and protest leaders are encouraging people to keep hitting the streets, and to occupy the State House, the president's office and residence, and the local offices for the World Bank and IMF later this week; President Ruto now says he won't sign the bill into law in response to these protests.Context: This is being seen as the most serious crisis Ruto has faced since he stepped into office two years ago, and the government has deployed the army to help keep the peace during what it's calling a “security emergency”; lawmakers have said the tax hikes are necessary to avoid a budget gap, though they removed a few of the more contentious ones in the final version of the bill in order to avoid creating any more turmoil; protestors are now demanding, online, in addition to the whole of the bill being voided, that Ruto resign from office.—ReutersOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication.

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will plead guilty in deal with US and be freed from prisonSummary: Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks who published a trove of classified US military documents in 2010 and has been on the run from the US Justice Department ever since—initially spending years living in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, before being locked up in a UK prison—has reportedly made a deal that will see him plead guilty to one of the 18 charges on which he was indicted in 2019, which will allow him to return to his home country of Australia with a time-served sentence.Context: Assange was at the center of several major scandals in the early 20-teens, most of them linked to allegations of hacking, divulging state secrets, and embarrassing the US military, because many of the classified documents that were leaked by WikiLeaks were related to US activities in Afghanistan and Iraq, and diplomatic cables from around that same time, and several of them showed human rights violations or contained transcriptions of US officials insulting their international peers; Assange has long struggled against extradition to the US, fearing he would face the death penalty if sent there, and this agreement, if it's approved by a judge, would seem to end his long-time exile, allowing him to return home to his family without any additional prison time.—The Associated PressOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication.

Three news stories summarized & contextualized by analytic journalist Colin Wright.Somalia asks peacekeepers to slow withdrawal, fears Islamist resurgenceSummary: Somalia's government has asked the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia, which is a peacekeeping force of about 4,000 troops, to slow their withdrawal from the country, which is currently expected to be completed on December 31 of this year; around half that force is scheduled to be withdrawn by June, and the government is asking them to wait until September.Context: The ATMIS is an African Union force, is largely funded by the EU and US, and is in Somalia to help the government fend-off extremist militants in the region, especially those aligned with al Shabaab; the government is concerned their own forces won't be ready to fill in the gaps left by the ATMIS when they pull out, basically, and that could leave a power vacuum al Shabaab or another group could rush to fill; the head of the ATMIS has said there's no definitive timeline for concluding negotiations regarding the withdrawal, and that everyone involved has committed to achieving sustainable peace and security in the area.—ReutersOne Sentence News is a reader-supported publication.

This week I am thrilled to be talking with Jacquelyn Mitchard, the New York Times bestselling author of 23 novels for adults and teenagers. Her newest novel is "A Very Inconvenient Scandal," and her first novel, "The Deep End of the Ocean" was the first selection of the Oprah Winfrey book club and has sold more than 3 million copies and been translated into 34 languages. We covered: - How losing her husband in her late thirties put her on a quest to publish a novel "to prove that I could have a second act" - How, when Oprah called, she deleted the messages because she felt it must have been a friend pranking her - How she would most definitely NOT write even if she didn't get paid - How the hardest part of the work is coming up with the idea - How Jacquelyn's dreams help her write her books - How she writes her book one sentence at a time, from start to finish, like building a skyscraper - The realities of being chronically sleep deprived - The difference between copying and stealing - Living on the Cape, yet hating the beach - Why she only ever has one cup of coffee For full show notes, with links to everything Jacquelyn and I discuss, plus bonus photos!, visit katehanley.substack.com.
