Popular Afro pop Cape Town act, the Raskells band, is channelling all things romance this February with their latest music offering, “Third Love”. The music band, which was founded in 2019, dropped the single “Third Love” on all major digital platforms on Valentine’s Day, February 14TH. The new single comes off their latest album, “All I Have”. A video for the track, which was also released on the band’s YouTube channel earlier on Monday morning, was directed and filmed by Christoph and Nicole from Designer Kollektiv in the Netherlands. Armed with a fine art to blend music genres, the Raskells band consists of seven band members. On “Third Love” only three members’ voices feature on the hit single - band members Isaiah Munemo aka Kells, Simbarashe Chivhanga aka Simphill and Tinotenda Zandodha aka Slotah the chanter. For Raskells band member Isaiah Munemo, the song started out as a joke, when fellow band member and “Casanova”, Joe, finally found his true love.

Αυτή την εβδομάδα κατά τη διάρκεια του Ρόλου του Σαββάτου με τον Ρένο Νίκο Σπανούδη, η εκπρόσωπος μας στην Ελλάδα, Κατερίνα Σιμπόνη Παρασκευά αποτίει φόρο τιμής στη FINOS FILM, μια εταιρεία παραγωγής ταινιών που κυριάρχησε στην ελληνική κινηματογραφική βιομηχανία από το 1943 έως το 1977. Ιδρύθηκε από τον Φιλοποίμην Φίνο το 1942 κατά τη διάρκεια του ΙΙ Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου. Ήταν η μεγαλύτερη εταιρεία παραγωγής ταινιών στην Ελλάδα εκείνη την εποχή και μια από τις μεγαλύτερες, από πλευράς παραγωγικότητας, στη νοτιοανατολική Ευρώπη. @finosfilm_official

During Saturday’s Role on Hellenic Radio, radio host, Renos Nicos Spanoudes chats to Erik Kruger, a thought leader and a pioneer of modern leadership. Being the founder of Modern Breed, an international speaker, executive coach and author, with a master’s degree in Executive Coaching, Erik maintains that “2022 is the year to move out of survival mode, not because the craziness of the world has subsided, but because it is set to continue. We cannot allow our potential and performance to be dictated by external forces. But more than that, at a deep psychological level, it is time to move beyond the powerlessness that was instilled over the past two years, to get to a place of ownership, responsibility and effectiveness.” Great news for leaders and entrepreneurs is that his sought-after leadership manual, THE ART OF RECALIBRATION, which focus on the five calibrations (tensions) that individuals and teams must navigate in order to be successful, is available from today, 24 January 2022 as a FREE download here: http://Erikkruger.com/2022 . The aim of this manual is for business leaders, entrepreneurs and HR practitioners to be successful in an uncertain and volatile world, in which they constantly have to realign how they think and how they do things.

The five calibrations covered in the 2022 leadership manual of the leadership manual are:

CALIBRATION 1: EXTRACT & EXPLORE

CALIBRATION 2: TRANSFORMATIONAL & TRANSACTIONAL

CALIBRATION 3: FRAGILE & ANTIFRAGILE
