The great songsmith Neil Diamond has long been to the forefront of prevailing trends. Whether it is the groundbreaking world music strain of Tap Root Manuscript which he recorded 45 years ago, or in his classic urban pop hits like "Holly Holy" and "Sweet Caroline", or in his ability to render a show tune in a modern idiom, Diamond is a colossus. Truly iconic pretty much from the off he was too because while we now know he's sold over 125 million albums worldwide, Diamond spent his formative years penning ditties at the Brill Building in New York City for Jay and the Americans, the massively huge Monkees and other teenage heartthrobs. In fact, it isn't quite true to say he wrote to order for others because he always had his own career in mind but in latter years Elvis Presley, Deep Purple, Lulu, Cliff Richard and Urge Overkill would all benefit from the crafted brilliance of his first flush of youth. Having created a body of sit single work to pass muster with just about any other artist on the planet Diamond's own albums, in particular, his conceptual pieces in the 1970s, have all stood the test of time. Prolific but with inbuilt quality control, Neil rarely wastes a phrase or inflates a song beyond its natural time span. A master of economy but with a romantic surge in his voice he is also a beloved entertainer and live performer who can hold an audience in the palm of his hand whether he's reaching out to an in the round arena crowd or offering his touch and feel to a theatre or, should you be so lucky, a club event. A survivor and a pioneer, Diamond is the embodiment of a special brand of American popular music in that he is a populist with a classic aesthetic. Often honoured, he has sung for presidents and for baseball crowds and built a fanatical base of followers across the globe. Neither a guilty pleasure nor a best-kept cult secret – impossible considering the time his discs have spent on charts – rather he is an American treasure.
Born Neil Leslie Diamond in Brooklyn, New York in 1941, Diamond might have pursued a career in academia or biology except that his songs started to filter into the network of independent labels and were deemed good enough to set him on a musical path in his late teens. His first albums were recorded for the Bang label before he moved into the plusher confines of the Uni stable, an imprint he revolutionised single-handedly. We're pleased to say that we have that area covered on our compilations – Up on the Roof: Songs from the Brill Building, The Bang Years 1966-1968 (The 23 Original Mono Recordings) and Play Me: The Complete Uni Studio Recordings…Plus! These give one an exact flavour of the quality and quantity of his earliest songs and also showcase his unflinching way with a well-chosen cover.
Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show and Touching You, Touching Me would both go gold in 1969 when the hit "Sweet Caroline" swept over airwaves and brought millions of listeners to his side.
But the "New York Boy" of autobiography wasn't content to bask in reflected glory and Tap Root Manuscript bewildered the unwary with its fantastic use of African instrumentation and peachy pop writing in the shape of "Cracklin' Rosie". To that extent, Neil beat even Paul Simon to the line for audacity. The song "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", though not by him became a signature tune that was covered by the Hollies. The album itself would go Platinum and so would the following year's Stones disc with producer Tom Catalano bringing amazing performances of "I Am… I Said" out of his charge while Diamond also applied himself to choice covers of Joni Mitchell, Randy Newman, Tom Paxton, Roger Miller, Jacques Brel and Leonard Cohen.
A generous artist then as now Neil's self-penned Moods (1972) and the live Hot August Night are significant pointers to his future direction that are considered masterpieces in the music business of r their arrangements and all-round expertise in the rhythm and strings department. The latter was recorded at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and is specially recommended in its 40th Anniversary Deluxe edition where the original double album is considerably boosted. Since this contains such classics as "Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon" (resurrected by Urge Overkill for one of Pulp Fiction's most shocking scenes) and all his mega hits to that date we'd say this is one of the finest live documents of the time and should grace any discerning collection.
Same goes for Jonathan Livingston Seagull, his Grammy Award-winning soundtrack to the film of the same name. As an example of Neil's popularity, this was a double Platinum smash despite the absence of any hit single and actually grossed more than the movie did!
Serenade and Beautiful Noise managed to filter Diamond through the easy listening and contemporary gauze without compromising him in either scope. He was simply beyond hip and performed now with input from the likes of Dr. John, Robbie Robertson (who produced Beautiful Noise), Garth Hudson and the cream of LA session land. He would also perform the track "Dry Your Eyes" with The Band at their famous farewell shows and this rendition appears in Martin Scorsese's documentary of that event, The Last Waltz, generally considered to be one of the best music films of all.
Soulful, adult yet approachable, Neil Diamond's next move was into American homes via TV specials. I'm Glad You're Here With Me Tonight (1970) finds him teamed with the great producer Bob Gaudio, mixing show tunes with classics like Brian Wilson's "God Only Knows" and Joni Mitchell's "Free Man in Paris" while maintaining the highest standards in sound and technology available at that juncture.
You Don't Bring Me Flowers benefits from the title cut being a duet with Barbara Streisand, the more atypical "Forever in Blue Jeans" and Gaudio's gentle guiding hand.
September Morn is a kind of return to roots outing for Neil but he switches tack entirely when he releases The Jazz Singer, a huge dramatic work that remains his biggest-selling disc at over 5 million copies sold and also a well-played item thanks to the inclusion of smash hits like "America", "Love on the Rocks" and "Hello Again".
Without indicating a creative hiatus Neil's next batch of albums fall into the category of being underrated at the time but re-evaluated favourably today. On The Way to the Sky, Primitive and Headed for the Future did slip through the net, that can't be denied but his collaborations on these albums with Burt Bacharach, Carole Bayer Sager, Stevie Wonder and David Foster ensure high-class entertainment.
That feeling persist with Hot August Night 11/NYC Live from Madison Square Garden where Diamond nails his roles as all-round show business guy, raconteur and creator of pops omnipotence.
The Best Years of Our Lives and Lovescape are right down the middle of the road, a pretty good place to be if you're in Diamond soled shoes and bear in mind he is now on a run of 18 straight Platinum, Gold and Silver awards – a phenomenal record.
The Christmas Album and the second volume by the same name will reach out to even more listeners eager to hear Neil tackle John and Yoko, Cat Stevens, Mel Torme and Irving Berlin – that's about everybody right? Just to remind everyone of where he'd come in Up on the Roof: Songs from the Brill Building revisits his love affair with the set-up that nurtured him and features a lovely duet with Dolly Parton on "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling", "River Deep", "Do Wah Diddy Diddy" and "Sweets for My Sweet" amongst other perennial goodies.
Live in America (1994) is an all-encompassing career overview capturing the man on the boards, his other natural milieu, while Tennessee Moon is an ambitious country album that places Neil alongside Waylon Jennings, Chet Atkins and Maverick Raul Malo for starters.
We're currently loving The Movie Album: As Time Goes By, a clever interpretation of the oldies but goodies syndrome that concentrates on well-loved film classics and gives them a Diamond coating. Here you'll find everything from Beatles and Sinatra to Fred Astaire and Hoagy Carmichael. A wondrous thing in all truth and one of Neil's very best projects.
The 5-CD Stages: Performances 1970-2002 is an exhaustive account of Neil's'; magnificent live shows across four decades in a fine box with an extra DVD and decent liner notes in the booklet. Even so, it's the next album, 12 Songs that will perk and pique interest since we find Neil being produced by Rick Rubin, lover of the esoteric cause. This disc will catapult Neil back into hipper circles, thanks to the undoubted Rubin effect, and become an album that would be talked about and also provide him with new media interest. Rightly so since it features members of Tom Petty's Heartbreakers, Brian Wilson and Billy Preston's last known recording.
Rubin repeats the trick of giving an artist a shot in the arm by devoting the same care and attention on Neil he'd given to the late Johnny Cash and Home Before Dark (2008) topped the US charts making Diamond the oldest artist to attain that slot until Bob Dylan overtook him. Check this out on the Deluxe version where there are a DVD and a bonus take on Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love" as well as interpretations of Harry Nilsson's "Without Her." This time sales were grand again but it was in the UK that we lapped it up the most sending the disc 2x Platinum. Then, bringing us bang up to date, we have Dreams from 2012, a sumptuous set of Diamond's favourites and boy, can he spot a great song? His souvenirs include Leslie Duncan's "Love Song", and Bill Withers' "Ain't No Sunshine", Nilsson's "Don't Forgot ±Me" and The Eagles' "Desperado". This man has got class!
As always with our key artists, there are various recommended collections and anthologies. For an overview, do try his All-Time Greatest Hits or The Best of Neil Diamond, but there are plenty of others to choose from, plus there's all his wonderful original albums too. We're reeling at the man's marvellous output – didn't even realise he'd accomplished so much. And you know what? He's still going strong and crackling the airwaves. Good work fella.

La cultura organizacional, cultura institucional, cultura administrativa, cultura corporativa, cultura empresarial, o cultura de negocios, son algunas expresiones utilizadas para designar un determinado concepto de cultura (el que la entiende como el conjunto de experiencias, hábitos, costumbres, creencias, y valores, que caracteriza a un grupo humano) aplicado al ámbito restringido de una organización, institución, administración, corporación, empresa, o negocio (cuando habitualmente el concepto "cultura" se aplica al ámbito extenso de una sociedad o una civilización).

Es la psicología de la empresa. Es el conjunto de actitudes, experiencias, creencias y valores que cada uno de los recursos humanos imprime en la empresa.

Podemos encontrar referencias culturales en toda una diversidad de manifestaciones tales como el folklore, el idioma o la comida. Así desde esta perspectiva, la cultura ha sido normalmente abordada desde campos como la antropología o la sociología. Sin embargo, más recientemente, a partir de la década de los 70, otras disciplinas y áreas del conocimiento empezaron a interesarse por ésta, ampliando su campo de aplicación a otros aspectos sociales y económicos asociados a valores y creencias específicas que influirían en nuestro comportamiento y diferencian a personas de distintas procedencias y territorios, especialmente en el campo de las organizaciones.

Estos elementos simbólicos se manifiestan en todos los niveles y departamentos de la organización, desde las relaciones personales y sociales hasta las normas de contabilización. Mediante los elementos simbólicos de la cultura, la organización y sus miembros establecen procesos de identidad y exclusión.

Los "supuestos implícitos y explícitos que los miembros tienen respecto de cuál es el comportamiento legitimo dentro de la organización", permiten hallar diversos grupos de trabajo dentro de la organización que manifiestan su propia cultura (subcultura) que traduce en uso de jergas, maneras de interactuar, tipo de procedimientos que se pueden omitir (hacer la vista gorda), etc. Dichas subculturas afectan, hasta cierto punto, a todo el sistema y pueden competir por imponerse a otras como parte de los juegos de poder tradicionales que se manifiestan al interior de las organizaciones.

La cultura organizacional tiene varios efectos sobre el comportamiento de sus miembros. En primer lugar, en los procesos de atracción y selección, lo que perpetua aún más la cultura existente. También tendrá efectos sobre los procesos de retención y rotación voluntaria, de manera que en la medida que haya una mayor correspondencia entre los valores de los trabajadores y la cultura organizacional, mayor será el compromiso del trabajador hacia la organización, y menor la tasa de rotación o abandono voluntario. Los estilos de liderazgo y toma de decisiones se verán también afectados por contingencias culturales así como las conductas emprendedoras.

La cultura de una empresa no es permanente, ni rígida, sino que va cambiando constantemente. Si no hay cambios y es rígida, le costará adaptarse al medio externo (mercado).

Modelos teóricos
De las distintas aproximaciones al estudio de las diferencias culturales y repercusiones en el comportamiento organizacional, quizá sean los trabajos de Geert Hofstede (1980) los que mayor repercusión han tenido, incluso en la actualidad. Este autor construyó su modelo a partir de una macro-encuesta realizada a 116.000 trabajadores en delegaciones de 64 países distintos de la empresa multinacional IBM. Tras el análisis de los datos, el autor propuso que existían valores compartidos en todos ellos aunque con diferencias en los rangos de cada uno de ellos según países...

Estos valores fueron agrupados inicialmente por el autor en cinco grandes dimensiones:

a) Individualismo-colectivismo, es el grado en que la cultura enfatiza la independencia y necesidades individuales frente al colectivismo que enfatiza la satisfacción de necesidades grupales.

b) Distancia de poder, es el grado en que la cultura y sus integrantes aceptan una mayor o menor distancia y diferenciación entre las personas que tienen el poder y el resto.

c) Masculinidad-feminidad, es el grado en que una cultura enfatiza la asertividad, la independencia y la dominación (masculinidad) o el cuidado y el apoyo a otros (feminidad).

d) Evitación de la incertidumbre, es el grado en el que la cultura organizacional tolera la desviación de normas y valores establecidos.

Sin embargo, el modelo de Hofstede ha sido criticado por su parcialidad al utilizar para la construcción del modelo los datos recogidos entre trabajadores de IBM, lo cual no puede ser tomado como una representación de la totalidad de las muestras nacionales. Además, la agrupación hecha por algunos autores en grandes categorías enmascara las diferencias que existen entre países.

e) Enfoque u orientación temporal; el grado en que la organización o sus miembros se orientan en el horizonte temporal; desde la más restringida (corto plazo) hasta la visión a largo plazo.
Por su función, la Administración Pública pone en contacto directo a la ciudadanía con el poder político, satisfaciendo los intereses públicos de forma inmediata, por contraste con los poderes legislativo y judicial, que lo hacen de forma mediata.

Se encuentra principalmente regulada por el poder ejecutivo y los organismos que están en contacto permanente con el mismo.1 Por excepción, algunas dependencias del poder legislativo integran la noción de "Administración Pública" (como las empresas estatales), a la vez que pueden existir juegos de "Administración General" en los otros cuatro poderes o en organismos estatales que pueden depender de alguno.

La noción alcanza a los maestros y demás trabajadores de la educación pública, así como a los profesionales de los centros estatales de salud, la policía, las fuerzas armadas, el servicio de parques nacionales y el servicio postal. Se discute, en cambio, si la integran los servicios públicos prestados por organizaciones privadas con habilitación del Estado. El concepto no alcanza a las entidades estatales que realizan la función legislativa ni la función judicial del Estado.

Tipos
 Cultura fuerte. Todo el personal de la empresa se encuentra convencido de los valores y creencias de la organización; es compartida por todos sus miembros.
 Cultura débil. Hay poco convencimiento con los valores organizacionales y el control se ha de ejercer a través de exhaustivos procedimientos y consiguiente burocracia, es decir, los valores son impuestos.

Cuando la cultura existente se basa en el pensamiento grupal. Este concepto ha sido descrito fuertemente por Irving L. Janis como "... la manera de pensar fácil y rápida en un grupo muy cohesionado donde las personas están profundamente envueltas y se esfuerzan para que la unanimidad anule su motivación para informarse sobre alternativas reales de acción." Éste es un estado en el cual la gente, incluso si tiene opiniones distintas, no desafía al pensamiento organizacional, como consecuencia da pocas oportunidades al pensamiento innovador. Puede pasar por ejemplo cuando hay una fuerte confianza en una figura central y carismática, o cuando hay en la base de la identidad de grupo un clima de relaciones amistosas (evitando conflictos). De hecho el pensamiento grupal es de los grupos. Los miembros desafiantes son rechazados o vistos como una influencia negativa para el resto del grupo porque sus ideas entran en conflicto y alteran la cultura central. En estudios sobre cultura, ésta es vista como etnocéntrica o culturocéntrica, pues se tiende a pensar que la cultura/subcultura propia es la mejor.

La definición más aceptada de Cultura Organizacional es la de Schein: "Cultura organizacional es el patrón de  premisas básicas que un determinado grupo inventó, descubrió  o desarrolló en el proceso de aprender a resolver sus problemas de adaptación externa y de integración interna y que funcionaron suficientemente bien a punto de ser consideradas válidas y, por ende, de ser enseñadas a nuevos miembros del grupo como la manera correcta de percibir, pensar y sentir en relación con estos problemas (Schein, 1984:56)

La cultura laboral se puede medir de forma manual en las organizaciones, o se pueden utilizar herramientas que faciliten y automaticen el proceso. En Latinoamérica se encuentran soluciones como Great Place to Work o Acsendo, herramientas que facilitan el proceso de captura de información y generación masiva de reportes.

Funciones de la cultura organizacional

 Integra la sociedad
 Motiva o limita las prácticas de como la gerencia interna sobre el desarrollo de las políticas de una organización pública. – Cultura administrativa -
 Para competir en el mercado y para actuar consecuentemente. – Cultura corporativa –
 Ofrecer a los clientes productos y servicios con valor agregado y de garantizar utilidades para la empresa. – Cultura corporativa –
 Tiene como propósito el controlar y modelar a los empleados de una empresa. – Cultura empresarial –
 Estructura la descripción mental, tanto en los ciudadanos cómo en los funcionarios públicos, de lo que es y ha de ser el "buen gobierno" y la "administración apropiada". – Cultura política –
 Los valores políticos de una sociedad contribuyen en el moldeamiento de sus organizaciones públicas. – Cultura política –
 Los valores políticos de una sociedad contribuyen en la definición de los límites de la acción administrativa de las organizaciones públicas. – Cultura política –
 Permite establecer criterios y reglas de acción para un mejor desempeño – de las organizaciones – en lo social – Cultura social –
 Enfrentar problemas de adaptación externa e integración interna en las organizaciones.
 Enseñar a los nuevos miembros – de la organización- el modo(s) correcto(s) de percibir, pensar y sentir… problemas relevantes a la organización.}}
 Moldear a sus miembros y establecer los parámetros de conducta en la organización o al entrar en relación con esta.
 Definir límites, estableciendo distinciones entre una organización y otra.
 Transmitir un sentido de identidad a los miembros de la organización.
 Facilitar la traducción, articulación, identificación e interiorización de los objetivos generales, respecto a los objetivos compartimentales e individuales en la organización.
 Tender a ser un silencioso sistema de control comportamental.

De acuerdo a Stephen P. Robbins la cultura desempeña numerosas funciones dentro de la organización. Primero, tiene un papel de definición de fronteras; esto es, crea distinciones entre una organización y las demás. Segundo, transmite un sentido de identidad a los miembros de la organización. Tercero, la cultura facilita la generación de un compromiso con algo más grande que el interés personal de un individuo. Cuarto, incrementa la estabilidad del sistema social.

Q: ember-cli merge several js into vendor.js without calling app.import for each js-lib Is there a way to import several js-libs into vendor.js without the need to call app.import for each import.
Similar to the new Funnel Copy Style.
module.exports = function(defaults) {
  var app = new EmberApp(defaults);

  app.import();
  app.import();

  var Assets = new Funnel('bower_components/webix', {

Over the years we have made a few sets of library steps in varying timbers and dimensions/sizes. The very first set was made out of English Cherry and Ebony. The brief was to design and make a very portable and beautiful set of library steps that would enable the client to access the top shelf of her library. As with some other pieces the design was left entirely to me. I was just given the dimensional limitations and told 'I would like a typical James Morley Furniture piece'. A great compliment and much appreciated. This curvaceous and delicate piece was my answer. The shaped handrail was made of ten very slim slices of cherry wood laminated together in a mould, shaped and then veneered with a slim ebony band.
English Cherry and English Walnut both work well, but it can be the clients choice.
Dimensions: can vary to suit but the top step can be 300, 400 or 500mm off the floor.
