A reissue of Triston Palma's Joker Smoker, originally released in 1981. Angus Taylor of the BBC on Joker Smoker in 2008: "Triston Palma's (or Palmer as he was also known) Joker Smoker was notable not just for his praise of herb smoking (nothing new in reggae) but for it's sardonic appraisal of the moochers and chancers that those who live such a lifestyle are fated to encounter. It's continuing resonance was proven in 2006 when the Italian singjay and producer, Alborosie, released his own anthem, 'Herbalist', on the 'Joker Smoker' rhythm.... Joker Smoker was released in 1981, when reggae had become fascinated with it's own fundamentals: sparse reworkings of familiar rhythms, with pounding kick drums, simple plodding basslines, and effects laden, highly evocative guitar and keyboard lines. These tended to be played by the Roots Radics band who created all the backings for this disc, produced by the deejay Jah Thomas at the famous Channel One Studio. The received mainstream critical wisdom on this era is that it was a musical blind alley that necessitated the iconoclasm of hard dancehall later in the decade. But the captivating ambience and musical intricacies of a record like Joker Smoker show this up for the reductive nonsense that it is. Bingy Bunny's chopping rhythm guitar work, Sowell Bailey and Dwight Pinckney's plaintive, chorus laden, lead guitar phrasing, and the primordial, relentless drum and bass foundations laid down by Errol Holt and Style Scott are typical of a time when modern production techniques, live instrumentation, dancehall rhythms and rootical lyrics came together as one. But it is the small touches that really impress. These include Dean Fraser, Nambo Robinson and Deadly Headley Bennett's mocking horns (parodying Palma's dried honey vocals) on the title track, Gladstone Anderson's precisely considered, minimal piano, and percussionist Sky Juice's use of a cuica friction drum on 'Give Me Give Me Your Love'. 'Joker Smoker' may be the album's centre, but every one's a winner here. A perfect example of what was, in reality, a high point in reggae's golden age."

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!
