We hold these truths to be self evident: don’t mess with NPR.  It’s not like the company is above criticism. But there should be nothing less controversial than for the station to do what they did on Tuesday, and tweet out the Declaration of Independence for the Fourth of July. Alas, some Trump supporters who were seemingly unfamiliar with the historic declaration, took offense on Twitter. And thus, an internet controversy was born.

An estimated three-quarters of employees say their boss is the most stressful part of their job, while a third dread going to work because of colleagues. Here’s how to cope

From backstabbing bosses to co-workers who try to sabotage your work, relationships and power are tightly knit in the workplace. Many of us will be affected by office politics at some point: a third of workers dread going into work because of their colleagues, while it is estimated that three in four employees find their boss the most stressful part of their job.

So, if you are dealing with particularly sly co-workers, how can you manage the situation?

Indian’s Springfield and Chieftain are driving a new American motorcycle rivalry with Harley-Davidson

http://ift.tt/2pk0l4n

Indian Motorcycle 27

Since Polaris Industries acquired the storied Indian Motorcycle nameplate in 2011, the Minnesota-based powersports company has been working hard to revive Indian, which was founded in 1901 and has seen more than its share of ups and downs in the past 115 years.

Indian swung by Business Insider’s New York headquarters last year (it wasn’t the first time) to show off a couple of its most visually impressive bikes: the Springfield and the Chieftain Dark Horse, both “bagger” cruising or touring bikes that aren’t designed for single-day weekend rides, but rather for extended getaways. These are the SUVs of the motorcycle world, and both bikes can carry a passenger.

If you’re into fast sport bikes or some of the newer cafe-racer-type rides, these motorcycles are going to see too “old guy” for your tastes.

But if you just want to roll large down the highway or across some scenic back roads, hefty machines like these are the ticket. Interestingly, as big as they are (around 700 pounds), they’re designed to be easy to handle. And they’re a lot more relaxing that your average Yamaha or Suzuki sport rocket.

Check ’em out:

Neither motorcycle is subtle. These are big, bad cruisers — powerful, old-school bikes that are comfortable for the long haul and designed to attract attention wherever they go. They drew a crowd on the sidewalk in front of our New York City headquarters.

First up is the Springfield, named for the Massachusetts town where Indian was founded. This is a throwback classic touring motorcycle, intended to carry one or two riders on a serious road trip.

This is a familiar setup for the windscreen, headlights, and turn signals. But wow — check out all that chrome! The screen can be quickly removed, by the way.
