Topic: Liberal Party
Kicking the Treaty can down the road … again
If Abbott had been in power last Friday he would have in all likelihood made a better response than the equivocation from our current leaders. Neither Turnbull or Shorten have the wit, interest or political savvy to get a treaty—or the other proposals in the Uluru Statement—past their respective right wings, who as my colleague Bernard Keane stressed in Crikey yesterday will—with their fellow-travellers—be more than willing to employ dishonesty and deceit to push back on any proposal for a treaty.
Pandora's Box – the Council for Aboriginal Affairs, 1967 – 1976
The Council comprised Dr H C ('Nugget') Coombs as chairman, who would retire as the first Governor of the Reserve Bank to take up the appointment; Professor W E H (Bill) Stanner, a renowned anthropologist who had worked in the Daly/Wadeye region; and Barrie Dexter, an officer of the Department of External (now Foreign) Affairs.
NT Parliament calls for Foundation 51 inquiry. CLP spits dummy.
Gerry Wood: "People in the NT would like to know what the truth is, they want to see a system of elections that is not tainted, they want to see a government bringing out policies that are not favoured or tainted by whether someone is a donor to the party."
Did the Prime Minister turn a profit from Pollie Pedal?
Julie Owens MP: "I don't believe that you can call it charity work if the taxpayer is paying your salary to do it - let alone if you make a profit out of it on the back of $350 in travelling allowance a day."
Warren Mundine's new military intervention into Aboriginal Australia
Warren Mundine on the role of the military in Aboriginal communities: "Actually the military does have a place … In the tsunami of Indonesia, you know at Sumatra and the Indian Ocean. And I said the military has got to train for emergency services and war situations."
Justice in sport
Do we need more evangelical cheerleading and yelling about "catching the cheats" from politicians and supporters of a confected "war on doping" or some commonsense and critical reflection that makes athletes part of the solution - not all of the the problem?
Message to Labor from the deep north: Do something now or we'll all be doomed
My friend Allanah MacTiernan yesterday said publicly what many people in the party think, and I am afraid I have to agree with her. Continue like this and the ALP is doomed. It is the time for serious decisions.
Ten questions for Greg Barns. Lawyer, music-lover, runner and trouble-maker
I think that this is a long-term strategy but that what is inevitable is that we will see the end of prohibition policies. They are unsustainable. There is a global trend now to re-examine the policy of prohibition of drugs. It has been an abject failure. I think it will happen in Australia. It will be an incremental change and it'll happen over the next decade. But it is inevitable.
Santos and Mike Rann: redefining "philanthropic giving" in Australia?
Right now it seems that the meaning of "philanthropic", in South Australia corporate and government circles at least, is a work in progress.


But a muted event on 1 May.
The Tree of Life, the widely admired neighbour of the Italy pavilion in last year's Expo Milano 2015, is to shine again on Sunday 1 May – but with less splendour than originally planned.
Unable to find sponsors to underwrite the hugely expensive technological display which so entranced Expo visitors, Arexpo – the company now owning and managing the grounds – has had to tone down the exhibit to a show of projected lights and fireworks.
The occasion will be a concert by the orchestra of the Academy of the city's Teatro alla Scala for 500 invited guests from major institutions and from countries represented at last year's Expo, celebrating international Labour Day.
Sunday will also see the announcement of the winner of the contest for a new name for the former Expo grounds. Over 700 suggestions have been submitted, say the organisers, and the winner will be present at the concert with three guests.
Although the Lombardy regional government had hoped for a formal re-opening of the grounds by May, cost restrictions have shifted the first public event to later down the month, when the gates should open for a large part of Milan Triennale, mega-screens for European League football matches, and other sport and street-food events.

Exploring the surrounding areas of nearby resorts such as Courmayeur and Megeve, with their great shopping and lovely forest walks, couldn't be easier. Both about a 45 minute drive from our luxury ski chalets in Chamonix. And a day in Geneva is another straightforward option and can be a great way to spend the day enjoying a walk by the lake and all the great shops and restaurants on offer. Journey time from your luxury summer chalet is approximately one hour.
Geneva is situated along the banks of Lake Geneva at the foot of the Alps, and considers itself to be one of Europe's most beautiful cities! Home to the European headquarters of the United Nations and Red Cross, Geneva is at the heart of Switzerland and has a long history of diversity and tolerance dating back to the protestant reformation. Today, the city of Geneva remains culturally diverse and features first class entertainment, restaurants, shopping and attractions.
Geneva's most famous monument is its water jet! The Jet d'eau is the world's tallest water fountain and provides a constant landmark for exploring the city. Geneva's ancient 'Old Town' offers a living glimpse of the past. While Geneva's more than thirty museums and art galleries help capture the rich and vibrant history of the city including the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum. Our favourite is the the Geneva Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art.
For a change of pace take a cruise on the lake or relax in one of Geneva's waterfront parks. As well, be sure to check out Geneva's famed Market Street to buy a Swiss watch or just window shop and check out the trendy boutiques in the 'Old Town'!
Originally designed in the 1920s as the French alternative to Switzerland's glitzy St Moritz, Megève has evolved with an elegance and timeless pretty charm that its esteemed Swiss rival could never quite manage. Horse-drawn sleighs or calèches still serve as taxis in winter, winding round the narrow cobbled streets. This is a beautiful, photogenic town, with its quaint medieval square, 13th-century church and endearing open-air ice rink. With plenty of upmarket boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants and smart hotels, there is plenty to do here besides the skiing. Megève survives very nicely as a year-round destination, and is worth a visit in the summer for the chic atmosphere and shopping.
First developed around two ancient churches at the foot of the gigantic massif that is Mont Blanc, the large village of Courmayeur is packed with history and charm. Once considered one of the capitals of mountaineering and mountain touring in the 1800s, it is now recognised to have given this title up to Chamonix.
The Duca degli Abruzzi Museum brings to life Courmayeur's mountaineering history, and includes amongst its treasures; Ancient documents, relics and materials used by the pioneering mountaineers that gave birth to the sport. Among Courmayeur's hamlets is La Saxe, famous for its mineral water spring; Dolonne, the district in which one of the first ski lift systems was built in Valle d'Aosta; and Entrèves where the Dora della Val Veny and the Dora della Val Ferret meet, and whose town centre hosts an ancient fortified house dating from 1391.
While cobbled streets and traditional old buildings contrast with a few more modern additions, the village has retained its feeling of old-World character and is full of atmosphere. Especially charming in the evening when the shops bustle with people and the bars and restaurants get going. There are plenty of good restaurants and bars, lots of attractive boutiques and shops, a sports centre and ice rink. The centre is traffic-free, ensuring easy access for pedestrians and a relaxed, family-friendly feel.

In November 2014, students and faculty from AUArts's Media Arts and Digital Technologies program collaborated with CPO to stage one of the most innovative and perhaps even risky events of the 2014 season: Turangalila composed by Olivier Messiaen.
Faculty members, Kurtis Lesick and Craig Fahner were joined by student artists, Kelly-Ann Desouza, Kaylee Novakovski, and Mat Lindenberg augmenting and enhancing the symphony by breaking down the walls surrounding the audience. Video and animated images, computer generated, reactive visualisations, were projection mapped across the architecture of the Jack Singer Concert Hall providing visual cues that explore musical motifs, thematic narrative, and insights into the composer.

ilke Homes secures order for new housing project
ilke Homes is set to deliver up to 140 homes in Nottinghamshire after being selected by Nottinghamshire County Council to regenerate a brownfield site in Arnold.
The deal, which followed a tender process, will see the redevelopment of a nine-acre site in Rolleston Drive in Arnold. The former council depot was derelict for six years before being destroyed by fire in 2017.
The homes will be manufactured at ilke Homes' 250,000 sq ft factory in Knaresborough, North Yorkshire, before being delivered to Rolleston Drive.
ilke Homes has secured a contract to manufacture up to 140 factory-built houses for a development in Nottinghamshire / Picture: ilke Homes
The deal marks the first time that Nottinghamshire County Council has released land for a factory-built housing development. The local authority announced last year it was supporting major infrastructure and capital projects costing over £200m to help boost prosperity for its residents and the local economy. It has secured an £11m grant from Homes England to prepare eight redundant sites that it owns for housing development to meet growing demand in the county.
Because they are factory-built, these homes are more cost-effective to maintain, quicker to construct and have a lower carbon footprint than traditional brick houses. They can be built with less disruption on-site and require less complex groundworks, making them an ideal solution for local authorities who want to quickly regenerate surplus brownfield land.
The government has shown its support for modern methods of construction (MMC) in housing. Last year, ilke Homes secured a £30m investment from Homes England to increase the capacity of its factory, as part of a scheme to boost MMC and deliver more affordable homes across the UK.
Factory-built homes are more cost-effective to maintain, quicker to construct and have a lower carbon footprint than traditional brick houses / Picture: ilke Homes
Tom Heathcote, executive director of development at ilke Homes, said: "We're delighted to have been selected by Nottingham County Council to unlock this important brownfield site.
"Our housing technology means we can quickly deliver a high-quality scheme that brings this derelict site back into productive use and deliver much needed, sustainable family homes for the local community. It is our intention to submit a full planning application for an affordable led scheme of 2,3, and 4-bedroom houses by the end of the month."
Councillor Kay Cutts, Leader of Nottingham County Council, added: "The re-use of this site for housing will be a huge benefit to the community and ilke Homes already appear to be making progress with their planning application. The sale will realise a notable capital receipt for Nottinghamshire County Council."
The project is ilke Homes' third in Nottinghamshire. In July, it signed a deal with Network Rail to build 40 homes in Beeston. In February, ilke Homes delivered nine zero-carbon homes in Newark for SME developer, Positive Homes.

Published time: 7 Jun, 2007 07:29 Edited time: 7 Jun, 2007 11:29
The U.S. has urged North Korea to stop testing missiles and focus on dismantling its nuclear programme. It follows reports from South Korea's Defence Ministry that its neighbour fired short range missiles.
The ministry says it has intelligence that North Korea launched up to two missiles off its west coast into the Yellow Sea, in an apparent test launch.
North Korea carried out a similar exercise off its east coast last month.

The number or rate (per head of population) of new cases of a disease diagnosed in a given population during a specified time period (usually a calendar year). The crude rate is the total number of cases divided by the mid-year population, usually expressed per 100,000 population.
Malignant tumours which grow by invasion into surrounding tissues and have the ability to metastasise to distant sites
The number or rate (per head of population) of deaths in a given population during a specified time period (usually a calendar year). The crude rate is the total number of deaths divided by the mid-year population, usually expressed per 100,000 population.
Not cancerous. Non-malignant tumours may grow larger but do not spread to other parts of the body.
The length of time from the date of diagnosis for a disease, such as cancer, that patients diagnosed with the disease are still alive. In a clinical trial, measuring the survival is one way to see how well a new treatment works. Also called 'overall survival' or 'OS'.
Routes to Diagnosis
Under the 'Routes to Diagnosis' tab in the Brain Tumour Data Dashboard, you can explore the ways patients have been diagnosed with brain tumours. There are many ways, or routes, for cancers to be diagnosed in the NHS. A 'route to diagnosis' is the series of events between a patient and the healthcare system that leads to a diagnosis of cancer. The routes include:
Two Week Wait
Patients are urgently referred by their GP for suspected cancer via the Two Week Wait system and are seen by a specialist within 2 weeks where they are diagnosed.
Diagnosis via a GP referral includes routine and urgent referrals where the patient was not referred under the Two Week Wait system.
Emergency Presentation
Cancers can be diagnosed via emergency situations such as via A&E, emergency GP referral, emergency transfer or emergency admission.
Outpatient cancer diagnoses include diagnoses via an elective route which started with an outpatient appointment that is either a self-referral or consultant to consultant referral. (It does not include those under the Two Week Wait referral system).
Inpatient elective
Diagnosis via an inpatient elective route is where diagnosis occurs after the patient has been admitted into secondary care from a waiting list, or where the admission is booked or planned.
Death Certificate Only
Diagnoses made by Death Certificate Only are made where there is no more information about the cancer diagnosis other than the cancer related death notifications. The date of diagnosis is the same as that of the date of death.
For some patients with a cancer diagnosis, there is no relevant data available to understand the route to diagnosis.
If any of the statistical terms in this section of the brainstrust website are hard to understand, we recommend looking them up here:
Cancer Research UK's Cancer Statistics Explained
http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/health-professional/cancer-statistics/cancer-stats-explained/statistics-terminology-explained#heading-Seven
If you are looking for help understanding terms relating specifically to brain tumours, and treatment, then the brainstrust glossary is available here:
https://www.brainstrust.org.uk/advice-glossary.php
The Brain Tumour Data Dashboard lets you explore up -to-date, population level data about the brain tumours diagnosed in England between 2013 and 2015. Using the drop down menus on the left you can select different groups of patients to view in the charts below. In these charts the number of patients for every 100 diagnoses is displayed as images of people. Patients have been grouped by date of diagnosis, type of tumour, age, gender, and region in England.
For each group of patients you can explore the different routes to diagnosis, the proportion of those who received chemotherapy or radiotherapy, as well as the survival of the patients within each group. For more information about what these metrics mean please see the glossary.
Select the year of diagnosis using the drop down menu.
Select your patient group of interest from the four drop down menus in the following order:
Tumour group
Age at diagnosis
Region of England
Gender of patient
To view a second chart to compare different groups of patients, click the 'compare' button.The second chart will appear below the first chart.
*Note that the tool is best used on a laptop or tablet rather than a mobile phone*
Unavailable data
Some of the data in these charts is not available.There are two main reasons for this:
How the data has been grouped
If you cannot select a patient group from the drop down menus, the data is unavailable because of how the data has been organised.
Public Health England has grouped the data like a branching tree. The bottom of the tree contains all the patients with brain tumours, and then each branch divides the data by a certain characteristics, like age, or location of tumour. But the data is divided in an order, starting with location of the tumour (endocrine or brain), then by age, region, and gender. Age is at the start because it makes a bigger difference to survival rates and treatment rates than gender or region. Sometimes, after the data has been split by type of tumour and age, there is not enough data to be split again. This is because to protect patient confidentiality groups cannot contain less than 100 patients. Because some groups cannot be split further, you cannot create 'totals' for everyone by region or gender. For example, you cannot see results for all ages by region, or all brain tumours by gender. If these totals were calculated and released, it might be possible to identify patients, which is why Public Health England cannot release this data.
Statistical reasons and data availability
If you can select a patient group from the chart menus, but the chart does not display, the data is unavailable for one of several reasons:
Data is not yet available for the selected year from Public Health England.
Data is not available because the data quality is too poor to release this statistic.
Data is not available as the statistic is not appropriate for this group.
Data is not available because the standard error of the estimate was greater than 20% and so the estimate has been supressed.
Up to date brain tumour data
Brain tumour data may influence the decisions you make about your care. Data also helps you understand the bigger picture, or landscape, in which you find yourself.
Brain tumour data and statistics influence the focus, and work of organisations like brainstrust. The information helps us to understand the scale and impact of the problems we are setting out to solve.
This tool helps you understand the landscape in which you find yourself having been diagnosed with a brain tumour. This landscape can be particularly tricky to navigate as there are many different types of brain tumour, all of which have a different impact.
The information you see represents the most up-to-date, official, population level brain tumour data available for England. Over time we will be adding to the brain tumour data available and publishing reports, with recommendations, as a result of what we learn from this data.
The data behind this content has come from Public Health England's National Cancer Registration and Analysis Service (NCRAS) and is a direct result of the 'Get Data Out' project.

AUSTIN, July 11, 2017– Dorothy 'Dottie' Vincent, who leads the Navy's technology transfer program, was named the 2017 winner of the George Linsteadt Award for Excellence in Technology Transfer.
The honor recognizes individuals and their efforts to enhance technology transfer from the DoD to industry.
Vincent, who began her career at the Naval Research Laboratory in 1994, now leads the Navy's tech transfer community, including 38 Offices of Research and Technology Applications, that support 44 laboratories located on four continents. Vincent was nominated for fostering growth and innovation that has positively impacted the Department of Defense laboratory system.
She was specifically recognized for organizing an annual workshop since 2007 that brought together the Navy's legal community with staff from Office of Research and Technology Applications to collaborate on improving the military's technology transfer process.
"When sequestration limited travel opportunities, she developed a monthly teleconference to keep the community in contact, a work-around that was so effective that it has remained as a best practice," her award reads. "Her leadership has created a vibrant practitioner community within Navy tech transfer. A tireless evangelist for technology transfer, Mrs. Vincent's outreach within the extensive Navy enterprise has led to the establishment of tech transfer operations at more than a dozen facilities."
Vincent's was lauded for her support of the Navy's first Partnership Intermediary Agreement to facilitate outreach. Under her leadership and encouragement to innovate, the Navy has developed effective outreach efforts using the agreements.
Vincent also supported the 2008 pilot program that became the successful Innovation Discovery Process, which connects business professional and entrepreneurs, colleges and universities, and economic development organizations with inventors from DoD labs to grow local innovation ecosystems.
"The pilot was wildly successful; however, Mrs. Vincent possessed the vision to see that the program could become even more so," the award reads.
In 2013, she tested and improved the process at four more Navy labs. In 2015, Vincent launched the ongoing "train-the-trainer" stage so technology transfer staff could implement subsequent innovation activities utilizing their own resources and connections.

Tab Groups, a feature that is still pretty much work-in-progress in desktop versions Chrome, is coming to Android too. I did write about this last week, but today, I have more details on how this might look like.
"Tab Groups: Allow users to create groups to better organize their tabs – Android".
The original flag that was first added to Chrome for Windows and Mac did not have "Android" listed as a supported platform. Hence, we have a new flag separately for Android version of the tab grouping feature. This could be because the fact that the interface and the way we manage tab groups on Android will be completely different from the desktop version.
I could find only one way to start tab groups. This will of course change. On the new tab page, if you long-press a link, you will get an Open in new tab in group option.
That creates a new tab group. From there, you can add more tabs to the same group. There will be a row of icons at the bottom of each tab, showing favicons for the sites in the group. The + (plus) icon at the right-hand side can be used to add more tabs to the group.
The up-arrow icon on the left-hand side of the screen lets you view tabs in from the current group.
When you view open tabs, the thumbnail only shows one site from the group. As of now, I do not see any design element that will help us identify a tab group from this list. Individual sites and groups look the same.
Things are, as I said, still in the very early stages of development. We will have to wait a few more weeks at least to see things taking shape.
Do you like tab groups? How do you think this will help your workflow/? Let me know in comments!

Save Money, Feed People, Grow Your Business – How LVRG.IT is Helping the New Entrepreneur as a Social Venture with Cam Martinez (AoL 152)
July 4 /0 Comments/in Angles of Lattitude, AoL New, AoL Season 3, Meeting People, Purpose, Relationships, Self Expression /by JC
Back in session 55, Laila and I had the opportunity to pick the brain of Summer Edwards. Outside of Veronica (who was still running her tech company), she was the first entrepreneur I had on the show who we could label as a social entrepreneur. This type of entrepreneur is someone who not only creates a business, but that business could be called a social venture – a business that has a social mission empowering it.
Since then, I've met all kinds of social entrepreneurs and they all have one thing in common. They're creating something by themselves or with others that not only affects a large amount of people in a positive way, but is sustainable.
Traditionally when many nonprofits start out, they do so thinking that they'll be funded by governmental grants or strictly through donations and fundraising. However, they tend to leave one concept on the table – partnering with companies who care about their cause.
In this session, we find out about a company which not only offers a great service through their membership, but has a passion in feeding people around the world. Obviously, they can't do the work themselves, so that's where a nonprofit who is already doing that comes into play.
It's a win-win for both organizations.
So join me as I speak with one of the founders of LVRG, Cam Martinez, and learn more about his journey as a young entrepreneur and where this great idea came from.
Has Cam always seen himself as running his own business? 10:43
What was it about Tai Lopez that restarted his interest in developing his own business? 13:12
What kind of barriers did he experience getting started in the business world? 16:06

What process did Cam and Sylvania utilize to find the right partner companies? 25:50
When did Cam realize that leveraging his network was vital to having success? 29:46

As we learned in session 149 with the Shohawk Media founders, the film world can be amazing experience. But one thing is clear: it's vital that as a filmmaker you take advantage of the right opportunities to get ahead and get things done. This includes properly funding your production, going to film festivals, and knowing the inner workings of film distribution.
For many new filmmakers, these things can seem overwhelming. Many questions come up. How will I fund this project? How will I find the right people to partner with to get it done? When it is done, how will I get it out to the masses?
Today's guest is someone that has the chance to get to know the film industry inside and out. With 30+ years of experience, Ray Murphy has seen it all. From starting off in security to becoming a producer to now helping with distribution, he can help those projects that won't get the time of day from the big studios.
In this conversation with Ray, we talk about that journey of his.
Not only is he a great resource for young and veterened filmmakers alike, but he does a great job of shining the light on parts of the industry outsiders, like myself, might not understand.
Growing up in Brooklyn, NY, did Ray ever imagine seeing the level of success he's seen in his career? 6:27

What are the definitions of the various titles of producer? 14:24
Has Ray ever considered being a director himself? 17:40
How can young film producers take their career to the next level? 25:06
Where does Murphy Media Distribution come in to help film producers? 27:40
What types of individuals is Ray looking to work with? 37:42
What's going on in 2019 for Murphy Media Distribution? 41:40
Who are the three influencers who have helped Ray get to where he's at today? 49:28
Is there anything Ray considers a waste of money that others buy regularly? 51:40
What advice does he hear adults giving kids that he calls BS on? 52:44
Is there anything he'd like to do that no one knows about? 54:29
Three truths that he's learned over time that he'd want others to know? 55:30
What's it mean to live a life of abundance? 57:49

For many, internet business is something that is pretty simple to understand. Create a digital product or service, get a couple of clients, and then scale. If done right, you can build yourself a great lifestyle.
The problem, however, is that the majority of the population doesn't know that this opportunity is available. In fact, your own family or friends might still wonder about "that thing that you're doing".
Today's subject and interview might just help people you know get a grasp on that thing.
In the documentary Generation Freedom, creators Michael Hall and Chris Sakr give us an overview of what it means to be an online entrepreneur.
Does it look entirely the same for everyone? Of course not. But there are certain ideas and concepts that we all have to know to comprehend the true powers of internet business.

How did Michael and Chris get into filmmaking so young? 8:54
What kept them from giving up on their aspirations? 12:35
Is there anything they would say to their past filmmaking peers who have put their dreams on the backburner? 17:06
What's their view on the current state of Hollywood? 19:38
What do they think about leveraging Netflix and YouTube to get films out? 21:50
How did Shohawk Media get started? What kind of work can we expect from them? 26:59
How were Michael and Chris able to distribute the Generation Freedom documentary? 29:29

Organic Marketing Methods for the Artist and Musician
May 16 /0 Comments/in Artist, Blog, Lifestyle, Mindset, Purpose, Pursuit of Happiness, Pursuit of Happyness, Self Expression /by JC
As an artist or musician, should you be using paid or organic marketing? Short answer: it depends. But let's look at what might work for your situation.
Last night at this month's Amplify Indy Experience, we showcased 2 speakers and 2 performances. The speakers consisted of an artist who works with steel as a canvas for his paintings and the president of the Indiana Filmmakers Network. We also had a couple of segments of future play performed as well as a band.
It was a pretty fun event!
As I was watching the event unfold, it occured to me that these individuals were very passionate about the work they were doing. Unfortunately, as I looked them up after the event, I realized that some of them weren't doing much service to their work. They weren't really getting the word out to the public that they existed!
Getting the Word Out
Since there's not much difference from a business which fulfills a personal mission to being an artist, there are a lot of transferable skills and ideas that each side can teach each other. And to be frank, in the end, both want to do things they care about and they also want to make a living doing it.
So when it comes to getting the word out on what they're doing, what can these artists learn from the online business world?
Well, as we know, there's currently two types of marketing methods being used today. There's paid and organic marketing. If you use Facebook and Instagram as a creative entrepreneur, you'll probably see a lot of hype about paid marketing methods. But interestingly, a lot of people that started their online businesses 10 years ago used organic methods to to get the word out.
So which one should you be using to get your work out into the world?
I think it depends on what you're trying to accomplish and what kind of resources you have available to you.
PAID OR ORGANIC marketing? WHICH should You use?
Let's say that you're just starting out like some of the artists from last night's event. You're going to approach things much different than someone who already has a following and money to spend.
For one, since you're not pulling in much income from your work, there's a pretty fair chance that you'll be frugal about where you're spending your time and resources. Since that's the case, paid marketing might not be the best idea.
Another thing to consider is that even if you have a budget to spend on advertising from say a previous company or work, you have to consider if you have the systems in place to deal with a huge influx of interest and leads.
If you're a painter like our artist, for example, then having this big campaign for your work might not make the most sense.
For starters, you can only physically produce so many pieces. However, if you were doing prints of this work and had a website set up that automatically took orders, then that might be a better match.
Of course, you'd have to think about how you're making those prints. Are you physically making each one yourself or is a third party doing it? (Just make sure that third party is up to your standard in quality.)
Something else to consider is exclusivity. Do you want to even have prints and/or copies of your work out there? If not, then you'll definitely want to work in the organic world vs blasting it out to a million people on Facebook and Instagram.
Types of Organic marketing
So, as we've looked at why you probably don't want to touch paid marketing yet, let's look at the options you have in organic marketing.
Simple Posts and Videos
You need to start somewhere. But where? Well, that's a good question. There's several answers to this, but a common one is start where you can post for free. There's nothing wrong about posting on your FB personal profile or Instagram account. If you're an artist, post about your process of creating the piece. Break it down about why you're creating the piece that you're creating. It has a story, share it.
Obviously, if you'd prefer to do it in video format, you can do that too on YouTube. There's plenty of makers who do one project, talk about the process, and then move onto the next project.
Direct Outreach
So maybe, posting all the time on Facebook or Instagram isn't your thing. Sure you might post something here and there, but you don't want to run on some "fake" schedule. Maybe you don't want to document EVERYTHING. Or maybe you're more introverted and only want to talk about your work with those you think might benefit from it. If any of these sound familiar, then you might want to consider using my personal favorite of marketing, direct outreach.
Just like in the real world, there's tons of groups on Facebook and LinkedIn. If we're going with the painter example, search for a handful of groups that interest you. (Make sure you stick to only a handful however, you don't want oversaturate your feed!!) Start participating in those groups regularly and before you know it, people look at you as an expert in your craft.
Once that's the case and people are pretty familiar with you and your work, they might actually ask to have a commission done, or if your a musician, buy your album.
Make People Take Notice
When I was growing up, I remember receiving samples of products in the mail. Cereal seemed to have made it through a couple of times. Toothpaste was one we received at one point as well. And if I remember right, bars of soap were sent a couple of times as well.
What's interesting is that I remember these particular products because they were in the mail. They stood out from everything else.
Back in first half of the 20th century, there used to be all kinds of ads that were placed on the side of the road. One of which I remember in particular was a product called Burma-Shave. They would have multiple red little signs spaced far enough apart that would only make sense if you were going 35 mph or more. These signs would actually spell out a short sentence and at the end of the series of signs there was always one that had the logo on it.
What do these promotions have in common? They were noticeable. They weren't promoted like other items similar to them.
So, as an artist, how might you stick out from the pack? Perhaps if you're a painter, you might go to an art fair. But on top of that, why don't you paint while you're there? Or if you're a musician at a music festival, go out and meet the crowd before you play.
Leveraging Pre-Existing Networks, Local TV and Publications
If you've been in business before, you might have heard that it's a good thing to own your own list. This is true for anyone who's trying to make a living from their work.
For example, when Dane Maxwell started his music career a couple of years ago, he didn't start from scratch. In fact, he used the list that he had already developed as he was building The Foundation. While on the surface the fans of each not be the same, there was in fact a lot of overlap because people knew Dane and wanted to see what he was up to next.
If you don't have your own list, then there's nothing wrong with using those of others. Whether it's through an appearance on TV, or an editorial in a local magazine, take these opportunities to show your work. You never know who's going to be in the audience!
Collaborate with other Artists
I'm sure you've heard songs over the years that are credit for one singer but are "featuring" someone else. Just like the previous examples, musicians often times partner with people who are more well known than they are. This gets them exposed to a larger audience.
Likewise, perhaps you're a painter. Remember that thing about being noticed? Perhaps you can collaborate with other painters to make mural in your city or town? Or perhaps you can help host an event?
In the online entrepreneurial space, we would call these doing joint ventures. However, as a real world artist, you have so many more ways of working with others!
So there have it, folks. A few ways to get out into the world as a new artist or musician. If that doesn't describe you, don't worry about it! All of these are ideas that can be used in a regular business as well.
Again, I'd use these methods to build up whatever it is you're doing before you start with the paid methods.
For one, you want to make sure that people want what you're offering.
But two, you want to make sure that you have the structure (systems) in place that would allow you to benefit from it.
For example, if you were to do a webinar for a list of people who knew you from something else (like Dane), there's a good chance they won't buy your new thing. It's not that they don't like you, they're just not interested in your new project. (There's nothing wrong with that… not all of Dane's followers from The Foundation days follow his music.)
However, if you were to use that same webinar with a well placed Facebook Ad which targeted the right demographic of people, then you might actually see a good ROI initially. Problem is, if you're doing things manually on your end, it might be awhile before those folks who raise their hands as interested hear back from you. By the time they do, they might have moved on to something else. So, what looks like it was a great campaign at first, may end up not being as great because you weren't able to follow through quickly.
Anywho, as usual, I could go on about this topic. But I hope that helps some of you struggling artists out there get your work to those people who need it!

Chris Jordan – Find Your Voice! How Faith Can Help You Become an Effective Leader (AoL 141)
January 31 /0 Comments/in Angles of Lattitude, AoL New, AoL Season 3, Coaching, Purpose, Relationships, Self Expression /by JC
How do you find your voice? Not your singing voice, but instead your message or work, that is unmistakably you?
There are many reasons why people become a reanimated creator. Sometimes, they simply see a void in an industry that they're already in and think they can do a better job than the company they're at. Sometimes, a person is laid off and uses the skill that they are professionally known for to make a living on their own. However, there are other times where someone is called to do what they know they're meant to do. They have an internal pull to go a different way than they have their entire career.
For today's guest, that last one description is definitely the case. After a life altering experience, Chris Jordan realized that God had given him a new personal mission. That mission was to empower others to work and live with more confidence and meaning as well.
In this conversation, Harrison and I get to learn how this experience went down and how it's motivated him to not only start his own company but become a local President of Toastmasters as well as the director of the region.
If you feel that you're being called to do more meaningful work and don't know if it's the right choice, let Chris' story inspire you to live in Truth.

Expect to Win – 3 Ingredients We Need to Increase Confidence
January 1 /0 Comments/in Blog, High Performer, Self Expression, Work Ethic /by JC
Confidence is something that is discussed quite a bit in entrepreneurial and self-help circles. It is extremely important in almost every part of our lives, but yet so many people struggle to find it. Without it, it's almost impossible to find true success in what we want out of our lives.
In fact, it's a vicious cycle between confidence, goal setting, and success.
When we have low confidence, we find it hard to set goals. We think that it's useless because we won't achieve them. Then, without setting goals, it's almost impossible to be successful because we're not defining what that success looks like.
So, how do we turn this cycle around? How can we become more confident in what we're doing to eventually feel and be more successful?
It Starts with Action
When I was active in LTD, I really enjoyed the training that was available. I've posted about much of what I've learned in past blog posts. But one of the things that was taught pretty frequently to new members was this simple idea:
Taking Action yields Results which yields Belief. The more Belief we have, the more likely we're going to take further Action.
While this might sound like confidence, it's only a part. Through taking Action and gaining more Belief, we're actually building Competence in what we're doing.
What's great about building competence by practicing a certain skill set is that it's pretty straight forward. Just start and learn from the action you take. Do it again and again and you'll gain not only a feeling of confidence that you can do that particular thing but you'll also gain a bit of appreciation of the work you're doing.
Believe in the Mission
While we gain confidence through simply performing simple actions, we start to also gain a bit of an identity of ourselves through this work. It gain even more confidence when we start out with a perception of who we are and what we're about. When our actions and results start fulfilling that perception, then we start building confidence through Congruence.
As you guys know, I'm a fan of the Colts and have been since I was in junior high. Over the years, I've gone from a fan who was only excited about watching the games, to a fan who analyzes the team as a whole. Not just paying attention to the players but what the leadership is saying as well. Not just through the games, but listening to what the coaches say and what the players are saying as well.
This past weekend's game (and this past season) is a great example of seeing Congruence at work. Rookie head coach Frank Reich has installed a winning identity into the team. From the preseason where the leadership actually focused on winning games to this past weekend, there has been an expectation to come out of games with a win.
Even though they started the season at 1-5, they have rallied to get into this season's playoffs. While they've been competitive and played pretty good ball all year, they definitely weren't getting the results they were going for early on. However, the leadership didn't lose faith and kept an even keel.
As they started to win, many members of the team started to realize that when they had that losing streak, it was mainly because they were sabotaging themselves. They weren't living up to their own expectations. With a combination of this new belief in what they're doing and performing their individual jobs correctly, they have dug themselves out of a hole. And they are now the 3rd team ever to get into the playoffs after starting with one win and five losses.
So, here's the takeaway from this: Know and be clear on what you're going for. Find your own personal mission. Take action and learn from past mistakes. As you get better at your skills and start fulfilling your mission, you'll gain even more confidence.
Connect and Work with Others
When thinking about people who are successful, most of the time we look at them as the reason that they were successful. However, that usually isn't the case. Great people are successful because they've built a great network. They've built a team. They have learned how to Connect.
In fact, the most successful people in the world aren't those who have worked the hardest and it's not those who have the most talent. While those are great things that can most certainly help, the real catalyst is knowing how to meet others, work with them, and elevate them to achieve things they couldn't without you.
When you're executing the best you can in a mission you believe in and doing so with other people, then there's probably a good chance you have a certain level of confidence that will help you achieve anything you set out to do.
If building this network is something you want to develop, check out Jordan Harbinger and his podcast.
So if you want to build confidence in yourself and in what you're doing, I first suggest finding out what your own personal mission is. Once you know that, you have the biggest part of achieving success – clarity.
At this point it's up to you to build the skill sets you need to achieve that mission as well as figure out those who you need in your team to help you succeed.
After all, it doesn't matter how good a Quarterback is if he doesn't have a supporting cast. He needs other players to have a chance at winning the game.

Q: DialogFragment opening Database, DatabaseLocked I have a dialogfragment that I use for the user to input information into.  when the user clicks ok the info is passed back to the main activity through an interface where I attempt to put it into a database.
this is the dialog positive click code:
     .setPositiveButton("Ok", new DialogInterface.OnclickListener(){
     @Override
     public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which){
         name = edittextname.getText().toString();
         details = edittextdetails.getText().toString();

         bundle.putString("name", name);
         bundle.putString("detail", detail);

         mListener.OnAddInfo(Bundle);

and on the mainactivity I implemented the interface and this in code:
    public void OnAddInfo(Bundle bundle){
         name = bundle.getString("name");
         detail = bundle.getString("detail");

    db.open();
    long id = db.insertInfo(name, detail);
    db.close();

    Toast.makeText(this, "Added " + name, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

I know the data is being passed through because when I comment out the db parts the toast comes up correctly. I don't think there is a problem with my db because in other activities not using a dialogfragment it works fine.  The error msg i get is this:
      FATAL EXCEPTION: main
      java.lang.NullPointerException at
      android.database.sqlite.SQLiteOpenHelper
      .getDatabaseLocked(SQLiteOpenHelper.java:224)

I have tried many things to fix this and just cant figure it out.  Is this just something that isnt allowed or am I just missing something?  The mainactivity is also a fragmentactivity.

A: I spent hours on this and gave up, only to accidentally discover a solution. Declaring the new database at the beginning of the DialogFragment class where you usually declare stuff doesn't work, but declaring it inside the onCreateDialog method works!
Example:
onCreateDialog(){
DatabaseHandler db = new DatabaseHandler(getActivity());
// use db now with no lock.
}

SKN govt. targets new areas for job development
Economic diversification planned to amplify job growth in St. Kitts & Nevis
BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS & NEVIS — As it debates its budget for the new fiscal year, the government has pinpointed six key areas for development to facilitate job growth in the year ahead.
Some of the areas identified include novel industries as the government seeks to diversify its economy, as has become a popular talking point in the region in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
SKN's strong tourism recovery has empowered it to diversify its economy.
However, the government also plans to bolster tourism rather than reject it wholesale, acknowledging that it continues to play a critical role in providing jobs for citizens and residents.
Speaking on the initiative in the House of Assembly, Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Dr Terrance Drew said, "The government of St. Kitts and Nevis has earmarked six key sectors for diversification and growth opportunities.
"Among the six key sectors are agriculture, the medicinal cannabis industry, construction, tourism, manufacturing and the Citizenship by Investment (CBI) Programme."
As he explained the reasoning behind including tourism on that list, the prime minister noted the industry's strong rebound after the pandemic.
He said that, despite this rebound, "economic diversification is an essential feature of development".
However, he added that it is also because tourism is recovering so strongly that St. Kitts & Nevis is empowered to diversify its economy.
"It is important for us to understand that the tourism sector is a catalyst for growth in several other sectors of the economy," said Prime Minister Drew.
"Thus, the rebound in the industry has the potential to multiply throughout sectors such as wholesale and retail; transport; and storage and communication."
Expansion of other sectors will create more jobs
In a comprehensive speech, the prime minister illustrated how more jobs will be created in St. Kitts and Nevis through the development of the six areas being targeted by his government.
Construction is one of the key areas targeted for development and job growth.
He noted that construction plays "a significant role" in the nation's economic development.
According to Drew, that sector alone contributes "on average, five percent to job creation and about 16 percent to GDP" in the country.
Additionally, he pledged his government's commitment to "ensuring that the manufacturing sector is developed as a central pillar of our economy, serving as a greater contributor to economic growth".
"In our government's view, diversification of our economy is not optional," Prime Minister Drew said.
"In fact, it is an essential pillar in the Sustainable Island State Agenda, where manufacturing is seen as a vehicle for transforming our economy, creating sustainable jobs and a credible source for earning critical foreign exchange."
"Significantly" linked to the expansion of manufacturing, he said, are efforts to modernize agriculture and "enable it to make a greater contribution to economic growth, employment, food and nutrition security, and overall sustainability of our country".

The move by Delta and United to revenue-based loyalty programs beginning in 2015 has raised the specter, unsettling to many, that that approach would inevitably become the industry standard.
But American, now the country's largest carrier, has elected to retain its traditional mileage-based program when AAdvantage and Dividend Miles are merged sometime in the second quarter of 2015. If the airline is contemplating a wholesale program redesign along the lines of Delta and United's, it isn't saying so. And in any case, given the demands of consolidating the two existing programs, it's difficult to see the company rolling out a completely redesigned program until 2016, at the earliest.
At least for the time being, Alaska Airlines is also doubling down on its current mileage-based scheme.
In addition to the class bonuses, Gold members of Alaska's Mileage Plan program will see their elite bonus increase from 100 percent to 125 percent.
In essence, what Alaska has done is increase the mileage payout for those buying higher-priced tickets without penalizing the majority of flyers who fly discounted coach. In other words, they've better aligned rewards and revenue, as do the revenue-based schemes, while maintaining the solid value proposition represented by mileage-based programs.
With their new programs already in the pipeline, it's too late for Delta and United to follow in Alaska's footsteps. But American would do well to carefully consider Alaska's move. It's a lot easier to implement than a top-to-bottom program redesign, and it neatly threads the needle, rewarding high-value customers without disenfranchising the other 99 percent.
Maybe this should be the new industry standard?

Bite!!! Life in a Warmer, Wetter World
Link suite overview: On vector-borne disease and climate change, connecting the infinitesimal and the invisible, Dopey Does DDT, the need for ecosystems thinking & bugs gone borg
It is a midsummer night's feast and we are on the menu. Nibbled and sipped by winged vampires and blood-sucking squatters, we scratch, swat and fret. But the bugs, annoying though they may be, are merely messengers. Virus, bacteria, rickettsia, protozoans and helminths—those are the ones turning the whole predator / prey equation on its head.
From a safe distance, preferably behind screens, pants tucked sensibly into socks and doused in parfum-de-DEET, the elegance of the big picture is both undeniable and astonishing. This is the web of life at its webbiest, connecting the fates of the infinitesimal to the invisible—shifts in weather patterns, changes in climate—and everything in between.
A bird flies a little further north than usual one spring, staking out territory in what, for it, is literally new territory. A warmer, more humid world has brought earlier thaws and later freezes to this particular neck of the woods. Which is also good news for the bird's passengers: the ticks on its body, mites on its wings, virus and bacteria in its blood. Occasionally even something as big as a snail manages to survive the journey, berthed in a bird's gut, likely carrying a parasitic payload of its own.
For everything we can see changing in the landscape—tundra to forest, swamp to sea, lake to desert—there is so much more going on at the edges of detection.
A deer tick finds itself in grasslands favored by voles rather than the forest, where white-footed mice rule the leaf litter. But a blood meal is a blood meal. So the tick latches on and borrelia—the bacteria carried by the tick that causes Lyme Disease—sets up shop in a new animal host. This is the Disease Cycle as jazz, constantly riffing theme and variation. Innovation as making do.
While global trade and travel do a mighty job of mixing up the pot, speeding the spread of pathogens and invasive species, climate change alters the basic recipe. How do you restore a tundra whose permafrost has melted? Or a rainforest weakened by repeated periods of drought? How do you make plans for a world in transition to a "new normal"?
Pollution, carbon emissions, deforestation—all at least hold out the possibility of reversal: things can be done, if only we would do them.
Climate change is a dragon awakened.
BITE!!!
"Bite!," the new link suite-story on the TrackerNews aggregator, surveys a variety of vector-borne diseases, all on the rise due, at least in part, to climate change: Cold-blooded insects prefer a warmer, wetter world.
It is not their only stroke of luck. Tight budgets in the US have put mosquito abatement districts in the political cross-hairs as an easy target for "saving" taxpayers money, no matter the expense of taxpayer illness. Lose the public abatement districts and there would be no coordinated surveillance for West Nile virus. Or for dengue, which has recently established a foothold in Florida decades after it was eradicated. Or for the next headline horror--chikungunya?—on the horizon. The standard bureaucratic spin about"the best science available" falls flat when the "best" is barely any at all.
Bugs—and the bugs they carry—won't disappear even if the data do.
Funding actually needs to go up. Way up, according to Peter Hotez, president of theAmerican Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, dengue is "a bigger threat than many of the biodefense pathogens that we're spending huge amounts of money on. Dengue and other vector-borne diseases are a true homeland security threat."
Really, though, they are a global security threat and public health disaster. For every breakthrough…
a recent discovery that a common veterinary drug can be used to protect against malaria
a better mosquito trap that uses eau-du-sweaty socks as an attractant
…there are setbacks. Babesia, a parasite carried by ticks—including the tick that transmits Lyme Disease—causing a malaria-like illness, is on the ascent. Diagnosis and treatment an be tricky. There is no vaccine. Further complicating matters, a single tick can deliver both babesia and borrelia.
Humans are hardly the only animal hosts under assault:
Cow babesia is among the most serious cattle plagues worldwide. Ticks are becoming increasingly resistant to the chemical brews used to keep it at bay. In the US, a team of "tick riders"—cowboys on horseback—patrol the Mexican border, checking cattle and deer along the Mexican border. It is estimated that if tick fever were to take hold again in the US (it, too ,was eradicated decades ago), the damage could easily exceed $1 billion in just the first year.
Lice are killing up to 90% of young wild salmon swimming past farmed fish pens on their way to sea. Sea lice were wildlife plague that amplified in domestic stocks. The concentrations are so high, the small fish are literally bled to death.
Moose are facing a similar fate from "winter ticks." These are ticks that latch onto to moose in the fall, burrow into their coats and feed all winter. It used to be a moose might pick up 30,000 ticks, a horrifying but survivable number. But a shifting climate means snow melts earlier. Ticks fall off onto dry ground in the spring, allowing more to survive. Their breeding season is longer, too. Now "ghost moose" have been found with over 100,000 ticks. Like the baby fish, they are being bled to death.
DOPEY DOES DDT
Meanwhile, cases of leishmaniasis, a parasitic disease carried by sand flies, are also on the rise, bedeviling everyone from soldiers in Afghanistan to the beleaguered residents of the world's newest country, South Sudan. Efforts in India to eradicate the disease by 2010 failed spectacularly.
Yet simply getting rid of sand flies could lead to other problems: As larvae, they eat garbage.
Single-focus wars-on-fill-in-the-blank-disease rarely work (only smallpox and the cattle scourge rinderpest have been effectively wiped out, and notably neither were vector-borne).
In the early 1940s, the Walt Disney Company produced a series of short educational films, among them, "Winged Scourge," in which the Seven Dwarfs (yes, those seven dwarfs) take on Public Enemy Number 1: the Mosquito—"wanted dead or alive"… (HT to epidemiologist and author of the marvelous Aetiology blog Tara C. Smith)
Wrapped in gobsmacking kitsch is a matter-0f-fact portrayal of then state-of-the-art pest control: drain wetlands, coat breeding ponds with oil and waterways with Paris Green, spray copious amounts of insecticide (likely DDT, given the time frame), put up screens, seal building cracks and use bed nets. It worked, too, at least for a while, if you don't count the cascade of eco-disasters that followed.
Not only is there a need for an "ecosystems thinking" approach, but one that can accommodate fast-changing landscapes. What was, isn't any more. What is, won't be for long.
The climate dragon is awake, scattering clouds of mosquitoes, flies, fleas, mites, ticks and lice as it yawns, stretches and shakes off a millenia-long slumber.

It's Whatever
LITTLE MEMORIES OF HORRORS
A. Craig
Alyssa Craig, News Writer
I suppose saying that a 2003 revival musical of a 1960's cult movie about a man-eating plant voiced by Michael-Leon Wooley really affected my life is kind of weird. It's true, however. When I was younger⏤I have no clue how young, but young enough⏤and living up north, I went with my friend and her mother to an off-Broadway production of the campy, horror musical called "Little Shop of Horrors." It was terrifying. Admittedly, it really shouldn't have been; it really wasn't that bad. I was just a big scaredy-cat. Still, when in the finale of the show, a gigantic, evil plant puppet is hovering above the stage and threatening to eat everyone in the audience, it can get a little nerve-wracking. I hated this musical then; I cried out of fear when it was over. I probably would've continued to hate it if it weren't for a huge coincidence and a little peer-pressure.
In fourth grade, my music teacher began hyping up this movie he loved. He planned on showing it to us, but he began warning us about a little profanity, some graphic themes, and swear words. Everyone⏤and I mean everyone⏤wanted to see it then. It was so intense we had to get permission slips signed by our parents. I, still being a huge scaredy-cat, didn't really want to watch it. The way my music teacher built up the violence in the movie made me really worried. Still, all my friends were going to watch it, and I didn't want to be the only one left out. So, I subdued my fears and saw the movie. Now which movie was it? Why, it was the 1980's version⏤the remake of the 1960's classic and precedent to the 2003 musical⏤"Little Shop of Horrors." The funny thing is that I didn't realize it was the same thing that made me cry in New York with my friend. The even funnier thing is that I really liked the movie.
It was campy, silly, and had a really catchy soundtrack. It was also extremely clever and had great use of puppetry that still holds up to this day, even if some of the other aspects of the movie don't. I still love the movie and musical. I just, unfortunately, don't remember too much about the Broadway musical, but that's probably because I blocked those memories to protect my own fragile psyche when I was younger.
