… with emotional intelligence at work

Greetings
Welcome to our newsletter. We like to offer a change from other newsletters which can demand an awful lot of reading.


Unnerving video of the week

… particularly if you like golden retrievers. duration 1:22


Interesting video of the week

Did you know that Twitter is predominantly Brazilian-based, in terms of usage? The web connects the globe, but most of us end up hearing mainly from people just like ourselves. Blogger and technologist Ethan Zuckerman (who needs a haircut more than I do) wants to help share the stories of the whole wide world. Communication is key to emotional intelligence – this TED talk is well worth watching whether you twitter or not. duration 19:45


Quotations of the week

Gentlemen prefer blondes

I’m furious about the women’s liberationists. They keep getting up on soapboxes and proclaiming that women are brighter than men. That’s true, but it should be kept very quiet or it ruins the whole racket

Anita Loos, died 18 August 1981


Joke of the week

What do you get if you cross a member of the Mafia with a sociologist?
An offer you can’t understand.


Amusing video of the week

Mitchell and Webb have a go at homeopathy.  Even funnier if you only watch a little bit of it. duration 2:33


Music of the week

The jazz trio, The bad plus, lovingly deconstructs Smells like teen spirit by the Nirvanas. duration 5:57


Puzzle of last week

>From last time: “You are a participant in a race. You overtake the last person. What position are you in?” Innumerable (OK, three) subscribers have pointed out that, if the race is run on a circular track, it is perfectly possible for the leader to overtake the last person.


All contributions welcome.

If you have been, thank you for reading.
Kay and Jeremy
