Judicial Commission of NSW, Equality before the Law: Bench Book (2018).
The bench book provides general guidance on sentencing of Indigenous persons. This discussion does not specifically relate to sentencing Indigenous offenders who have committed domestic violence offences. It notes that the sentencing, decision(s) and/or written judgment must be 'fair and non-discriminatory'. The bench book then lists a number of points to consider at [2.3.7]:
An aboriginal person must be treated fairly and without discrimination;
Whether a victim impact statement should be read out in court;
It is important to ensure that the sentencing, decision and/or written judgment: is not harsher that it would be if the person was not Aboriginal; is not paternalistic; takes into account the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody recommendations to divert Aboriginal people away from detention/imprisonment if at all possible, and where detention is unavoidable, to detain/imprison the person as close to their community as possible;
'Takes account of the fact that high levels of incarceration result in the institutionalisation of a large proportion of Aboriginal offenders and a lengthy term of imprisonment may be particularly harsh for an Aboriginal offender';
'Where relevant, takes account of the principles in relation to the sentencing of Aboriginal offenders' first articulated in R v Fernando (1992) 76 A Crim R 58, 62-63;
Take into account relevant evidence from local Aboriginal groups or elders;
Where available, consider circle sentencing, the forum sentencing intervention program, and/or youth justice conferencing;
'Note that circle sentencing tends to be effective only where the offender and the Aboriginal people conducting the circle sentencing are from the same tribal group, otherwise the public shaming and respect elements of circle sentencing are not likely to have the same effect';
'Takes account of the fact that some Aboriginal people may be punished according to customary law';
'Takes account of the fact that Aboriginal people tend to have much lower incomes than non-Aboriginal people — so a specific level of fine for them will often mean considerably more than the same level of fine for others and may lead to licence disqualification for failure to pay a fine';
'Is written down at the time of sentencing (in as simple and direct English as possible), and then given to the defendant and/or their legal representative — so as to help ensure understanding and compliance'.
Supreme Court of Queensland, Equal Treatment Bench Book (2005).
'The Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody recommended that incarceration be used only as a last resort when sentencing Indigenous people. Throughout Queensland there are examples of local Indigenous community groups working constructively with the police and the courts in deterring and dealing with Indigenous crime and assisting in the sentencing process […]The Murri Court was officially opened in Brisbane in August 2002 and serves to assist Magistrates, court officers and, in particular, Indigenous defendants. The purpose of the Brisbane Murri Court is "to impose appropriate sentences by having regard to the offence committed and the defendant's personal and cultural background"' (p. 102). It takes into account cultural issues relevant to the defendant and provides a forum where Indigenous people have an input into the sentencing process. 'It seeks to overcome language and cultural barriers by having an Elder present to assist in dialogue between the defendant, Magistrate and other court officers' (p. 103).
Fryer-Smith, Stephanie, Aboriginal Benchbook for Western Australia Courts (2nd ed, 2008).
Chapter 8 of the bench book deals with sentencing of Aboriginal offenders.
Chapter 8.1 Introduction
By way of introduction, the bench book notes that Aboriginal customary law 'is characterised by notions of summary justice, strict liability, payback and family/group punishment and responsibility: Bolton v Nielsen (1951) 53 WALR 48' [8.1.1]. 'Principles of substantive equality may support a special approach to the sentencing of Aboriginal offenders' [8.1.3]. The Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody: National Report examined the role of sentencing in the high incarceration rate of Aboriginal people and made a number of recommendations to reduce that rate including that imprisonment should be used as a last resort, criminal records should be expunged after an appropriate time has lapsed, authorities should consult with Aboriginal communities and organisations, and an appropriate range of non-custodial sentencing options should be made available [8.1.4].
Chapter 8.3 Aboriginality
Sentencing principles: 'The same principles are to be applied in every case, irrespective of the identity of a particular offender or his membership of an ethnic or other group: Neal v the Queen (1982) 42 ALR 609; Rogers and Murray (1989) 44 A Crim R 301; State of Western Australia v Richards [2008] WASCA 134' [8.3.1].
Chapter 8.4 Aggravating factors
Domestic violence: 'The primary concern of the courts must be to protect women in the community from vicious, drunken and abusive behaviour: Woodley (1994) 76 A Crim R 302; 'Even where a complainant continues to cohabit with an offender, the court should deal with assaults upon that complainant as it would a member of the wider community: Woodley (1994) 76 A Crim R 302; 'Courts cannot deal with the core problem of an offender being unable to resist the use of physical violence when intoxicated and angered by his/her partner's conduct: Woodley (1994) 76 A Crim R 302; Daniel (1997) 94 A Crim R 96' [8.4.1].
Chapter 8.5 Mitigating factors
Facts existing only by reason of ethnicity, circumstances underlying alcohol/substance abuse, emotional stress, cultural dislocation, effect of removal from family, socio-economic factors, the impact of imprisonment, customary punishment, the wishes of the Aboriginal community, the impact of traditional belief.

Bombing Melbourne
I've always had a dark turn of mind. This, coupled with a love of interesting technical facts, combines to form an abiding interest in nuclear bombs.
The whole "duck-and-cover" fear of nuclear annihilation was absent from my childhood. I was 13 when the USSR disintegrated in 1991, and the idea of imminent death had been on the wane since the Cuban Missile Crisis anyway. Growing up in Tasmania meant that I was far removed from the machinery and immediacy of nuclear Armageddon that must still have been present, like fog burning off in the sun, for my childhood contemporaries growing up near a missile silo in Kansas or in one of the USSR's 'secret cities.'
The literature was still there for me to discover though, and a lot of my favourite stories were set in a post-apocalyptic world. Louise Lawrence's Children of the Dust, John Christopher's 'Tripods' series, and Caroline MacDonald's The Lake at the End of the World were all read repeatedly. Later, John Hersey's Hiroshima gave me the horrific detail that the children's books had only alluded to.
Anyway, the following map is a better effort at some figures I scribbled down some years ago. A good map can illuminate many things, and hopefully this one shows just how big the explosion of a big nuclear bomb is. A good shorthand for measuring the explosive power of large explosions such as a nuclear bomb is in tonnes of TNT. The 'Little Boy' bomb dropped on Hiroshima exploded with a force of 15 kilotonnes, or 15,000 tonnes of TNT. The largest ever nuclear bomb, the USSR's 1961 effort 'Tsar Bomba,' was originally going to detonate with a force of 100 megatonnes, but was scaled back at the last moment to 50 megatonnes (50 million tonnes of TNT) – pussies.
A 'big' bomb nowadays is around 20 megatonnes. The US and the Russian Federation each still have around 2000 weapons of various sizes ready to go, and another 6000 (US) and 9000 (Russian Federation) in mothballs. Here's what would happen if a 20Mt bomb was detonated 5.4km over the Melbourne CBD:

Review: Radiohead – The King of Limbs
Radiohead have been pursuing one of the most interesting careers in modern rock since their debut single, 1992's 'Creep.' Their music began with a guitar-driven and ultimately conventional phase that culminated in 1997's OK Computer, made a sharp left turn into the electronic genius of Kid A and Amnesiac and then, incredibly, managed to combine the two earlier phases into the sublime Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows. Through all this, Radiohead were always a band primarily concerned with songs.
Their new album, The King of Limbs, at times feels like a conscious abandonment of their own evolution; at times like another left turn. It is definitely not an album that shows the same genius for songwriting that fills their previous work. More than anything though, The King of Limbs feels like singer Thom Yorke's 2006 solo album The Eraser rather than a new Radiohead album. Here we find the same staccato, sometimes schizophrenic, percussion tracks hung with Yorke's ghostly falsetto. There is little other instrumentation, sometimes a few chords on a piano, and one gets the feeling guitarist Johnny Greenwood may have spent most of the recording sessions down at the pub.
There are still moments of brilliance, the album's first single, 'Lotus Flower,' is a particularly fine example, but these never break free from the basic vocals-over-percussion model. There are no hooks, no middle eights, no riffs in this album – none of the tricks that Radiohead know how to use so well. Why this should be the case is a mystery. If the band is consciously striving in a new, sparsely minimal direction the change is less successful than their earlier changes of direction. More likely the band is doing as they always do – following their own star.

Home-Grown is a Crock
Perhaps I'm just being contrary here, but I'm starting to think the whole slow food, home-grown, organic thing is a bit of a beat up.
Perhaps reading through a Christmas gift, Matthew Evans's The Real Food Companion, then seeing repeats of his show 'The Gourmet Farmer' on TV recently raised my expectations too high, but my experience of home-grown over the past few days has been distinctly underwhelming.
I've heard this year has not been a good year for tomatoes; certainly this was my first year growing them. The effort, water, spray (not organic I know, but it was the white fly or the plants) paid off with barely a dozen actual tomatoes. Tasty tomatoes, yes. Tastier than tomatoes from the supermarket? Again, yes. Difference in taste worth the effort put in to get that taste? Not even remotely.
Could it be my sub-par gardening skills? A friend gave me some lovely looking little yellow cherry tomatoes. They were sweet inside, but the flesh was mostly bland and mealy. Another friend owns a house in the country. Her corn, fresh from the garden, was tough and bland. McCains beat it hands down. Her beets, again freshly plucked from the soil and boiled for a salad, were watery. I prefer tinned.
I'm not suggesting that home-grown, or organic, or slow food is pointless. Obviously on a continuum where one end is sitting on the couch eating KFC and the other end is spending your time outdoors growing your own food the Peter Cundall option is the better one. But this elitist, lapsarian and increasingly pervasive view that fruit and veg from the supermarket is basically evil and tastes like plastic, whereas the stuff you grow yourself, or buy from the local farmer's market, is some sort of rustic orgasm in your mouth is simply untrue.
I freely admit the truth, and the necessity, of the other arguments for slow, organic and home-grown. We should buy local, we should minimise pesticide use, genetic diversity in our crops should be preserved. But does that pumpkin you grew really taste better than the one I bought from Coles? How about now when they're both roasted to perfection with some garlic, thyme and rosemary? I say they're pretty close to identical.
I grew up on a farm. My grandfather was an outstanding gardener. Looking back through the mists of nostalgia, was the food of my childhood better? Some was, some wasn't. The potatoes were better, but that was the variety. I can get that taste if I want it by finding bintjes or pink-eyes. The carrots and tomatoes were the same. Beans were the same. Peas were better but that's because I was eating them off the vine. If they were picked, podded, stored a few days and then cooked they weren't as good as frozen. Fruit was mostly better, but again I was eating it off the tree or vine. I can get as good a punnet of blackberries from the supermarket now, but I have to pay $6 or $7 for the experience, rather than eat them from the patch by the river until I feel sick for free.
To go off on a tangent (a little) I watched a show recently called 'Willie's Chocolate Revolution.' Same idea I'm banging on about here. Massive foody, loves chocolate, hates Cadbury's, sets up cacao plantation in Venezuela, grows own beans, hand-makes own chocolate on antique machinery – result? "People have no idea what real chocolate tastes like! I'm going to convert them." Cue dopey British people suspiciously tasting Willie's 80% cocoa solids chocolate, then sneaking back to the Cadbury Family Block. Willie's shocked. Fucking idiot public can't wean themselves off their too-sweet junk-food chocolate. Tellingly though, Willie intersperses all this with a few recipes. No straight out my-Christ-that's-bitter 80% cocoa solids chocolate here. Instead the 80% is melted and mixed with a load of sugar and cream. No-one picks Willie up on the sell-out, and I'll shut up about it now too because I found a block of his product in a shop and it was bloody tasty.
So what's the point of all this? I guess to applaud the idea and the ideals behind slow, organic and home-grown. To agree that in a world of increasingly commoditised food a movement away from that slippery slope is a vital voice that needs to be heard. But don't tell me that by failing to grow my own I'm missing out on undreamt of flavours: that until you've had a home-grown tomato you don't know what you're missing out on. That's a crock.

Melbourne Half-Marathon Earns Three Year Extension
By Space Coast Daily // April 10, 2012
The State Farm Melbourne Music Marathon Weekend has been given a three-year extension by USA Track & Field to host its annual Masters National Championship Half-Marathon.
BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – USA Track & Field, the national governing body for track and field, long distance running and race walking in the United States, has awarded it a three-year extension to the State Farm Melbourne Music Marathon Weekend to host of its annual Masters National Championship Half-Marathon.

Aside from the half-marathon, the Melbourne Music Marathon Weekend also includes a health and fitness expo, a run for children, 5k, 8k, a full marathon and a hand cycle marathon.
Melbourne's half-marathon has been a USATF's Masters National Championship race since 2009 and will continue to do so through 2015.
"It has been an honor and a privilege for our race and community to host a national title race, and we couldn't be more excited to continue doing so for the next few years," said Melbourne Music Marathon Weekend race founder Mitch Varnes. "Our partnership with USATF has been a mutually advantageous one and we are very pleased by this announcement."

Q: Binary tree in java with getters and setters I'm trying to create binary tree by following example  1 where tree is made without getters and setters. I would like to create it with geeters and setters but I'm stuck on line with recursion. How can I call recursion function  with/inside setter? Here is the code..
p.s. Tree class pastebin
public class TreeF {

Tree root;

public void insert(int value) {

    if (root==null) {

    root = new Tree(value);
        return;
    }

     Tree current = root;

    if (value < current.getData() ) {

        if (current.getLeft()==null) {
            current.setLeft(new Tree (value));
        }else {
            // call insert method inside current.left object [currrent.left(insert(value))]
            current=current.getLeft();
            insert (value);
        }

    }
    else {
        if (current.getRight()==null) {
            current.setRight(new Tree (value));
        }else {
            current=current.getRight();
            insert (value);

        }
     }
  }

 }

A: Change insert(value) to current.insert(value)
To implement recursion, you need to change a parameter(or multiple) so you can go to the stopping condition after some recursive calls.
In your code, you called the method insert that was part of the same object. And not its left/right subtree. In other words, the recursion never ends, because you don't visit the child subtrees.
public class Tree {
private int data;
private Tree left;
private Tree right;

public Tree (int data) {
    this.data=data;
}

public int getData() {
    return data;
}
public void setData(int data) {
    this.data = data;
}
public Tree getLeft() {
    return left;
}
public void setLeft(Tree left) {
    this.left = left;
}
public Tree getRight() {
    return right;
}
public void setRight(Tree right) {
    this.right = right;
}

public void insert(int value) {
    if (value <  getData()) {
        if (getLeft() == null) {
            setLeft(new Tree(value));
        } else {
            getLeft().insert(value);
        }
    } else {
        if (getRight() == null) {
            setRight(new Tree(value));
        } else {
            getLeft().insert(value);
        }
    }
}
}

A: You do not need a current field or a root. Here's your insert method greatly simplified to demonstrate.
public class Tree {
    final int data;
    Tree left;
    Tree right;

    public Tree(int value) {
        data = value;
    }

    public void insert(int value) {
        if (value < data) {
            if (left == null) {
                left = new Tree(value);
            } else {
                left.insert(value);
            }
        } else {
            if (right == null) {
                right = new Tree(value);
            } else {
                right.insert(value);
            }
        }
    }
}

Let's be honest, we all get completely bogged down in the hustle and bustle of our everyday lives. There never seems to be enough time to get everything done, and certain things always tend to fall to the back burner of our to do lists. Springtime is all about rebirth and rejuvenation, so let's focus on ways to improve your inner psyche. Time to take a pause and reboot: Here are 5 things to accomplish this week. These simple tasks will uplift your spirit and leave you feeling more organized, healthy, energetic, and ready to take on life with a refreshed mindset.
Meditation is an easy way to take a break from your daily life and reflect inward. Sometimes just sitting in silence for a few minutes can totally rejuvenate you (especially if your day is filled with screaming kids or crazy workers). For the tech savvy, there is a great app called CALM that can walk you through easy daily mediations.
Ok, I know this is a daunting task, but nothing feels more amazing than an organized closet. Expert tip: try organizing by color. It really helps you find what you are searching for when you need a specific item, as well as making your closet look fresh and neat. Check out this amazing article from REAL SIMPLE for some motivation.
Starting an exercise routine can be intimidating. Take it slow and start small. Set achievable goals, and take it one day at a time. Focusing on one part of your body at at time is a great way to conquer your fitness goals. Check out the 30 Day Fitness Challenge for awesome body busting routines that only take a few minutes a day!
Nothing is more important that your health. What we put into our bodies is just as important as what we put on our bodies. So pour a glass of wine and cook a delicious healthy meal. The act of cooking will not only relax you, but you will totally feel a sense of accomplishment when you take a bite into your yummy, nutritious concoction.
There is no better feeling than spreading the love with someone who may need a little sunshine on her rainy day. Something as simple as sending a sweet text to a old friend can go a long way. Tell a friend she looks beautiful, surprise a stranger by picking up the tab at a coffee shop, or simply open a door for someone. Any random act of kindness will no doubt boost your mood as much as the recipient's.

World War I (1914-1918) began with a regional clash between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Serbia, on July 28, 1914. After Austria-Hungary extended its declaration of war to the Russian Empire, on August 1, 1914, the conflict expanded into armed combat across Europe. The fighting eventually reached beyond, engulfing 32 nations worldwide, organized in two blocs: on the one side, the Allies—initially comprising Great Britain, France, and the Russian Empire (known as the Triple Entente), later joined by 25 other countries, including Brazil—and, on the other, the Central Powers, made up of the German, Austro-Hungarian, and Ottoman empires and Bulgaria.
Once known as the War to End All Wars, World War I was unprecedented in many ways. Tens of millions of soldiers were mobilized, multiple lines of defense were established through trench warfare, and battlefields saw weapons that were radically new or had never before been produced on an industrial scale, ranging from lethal gases to submarines, airplanes, and tanks. The intense use of machine guns and heavy artillery also contributed to making this conflict one of the deadliest and most destructive in history. In technological terms, it was the first modern war, and it left a bloody toll. It is estimated that more than ten million died in combat while another twenty million were injured.
Bibliographic records of World War I are part of the Oswaldo Cruz Collection
Traces of this tragic conflict can be found in Oswaldo Cruz's personal library, which holds ten books and pamphlets on the topic, all with fewer than 50 pages, published in Portuguese, English, French, and German.
To judge by both date of publication (1914 and 1915) and subject matter, these writings suggest an interest in news and information about the early period of the conflict. One example is The Great World War, A History, released by The Gresham Publishing Company, in London. The library includes the first of this nine-volume collection, edited by Frank A. Mumby (1872-1954), journalist and historian of the book trade in England. Published in 1915 and 1916, the collection offers a detailed narrative of the era's events, illustrated with photographs, maps, and plans. Because printing presented challenges then (especially the scarcity of paper), the volumes were available by subscription only.
Still, the quality of the copy of The Great World War found in the Oswaldo Cruz Collection is evident right from its cover, which is imprinted with the coats of arms of six countries: the French Republic's, featuring the letters R.F.; the Russian Empire's, represented by a double-headed eagle topped by three crowns, symbols of power and wisdom, with Saint George, patron saint of Russia, in its center; the United Kingdom's, consisting of two sets of three lions, a single lion inside a frame of fleurs-de-lis, and a harp; the Serbian Empire's double-headed eagle and shield; Belgium's lion; and the Japanese Empire's 16-petal chrysanthemum.
Two other noteworthy titles are 1815-1915 du congrés de Vienne a la guerre de 1915 [1815-1915, from the Congress of Vienna to the war of 1915] and Comment les Austro-Hongrois ont fait la guerre en Serbie [How Austria-Hungary waged war in Serbia]. The former was written by Charles Seignobos, a renowned French historian who specialized in the French Third Republic and was a member of the Human Rights League; the latter is by Rodolphe Archibald Reiss, a German-Swiss professor, writer, and pioneer in forensic science. Both works were published in 1915 by Armand Colin, a French publishing house founded in 1870 that was an early-twentieth-century leader in the area of education.
These two French works were part of a set of ten pamphlets published in the form of inexpensive brochures by the Committee for Studies and Documents on the War, formed in 1914 by a group of eminent French university intellectuals: Ernest Lavisse (president), Émile Durkheim (secretary), Charles Andler, Joseph Bédier, Henri Bergson, Émile Boutroux, Ernest Denis, Jacques Hadamard, Gustave Lanson, Charles Seignobos, and André Weiss. The collection, which was designed as part of the French initiative to resist the German invasion, received financial support from the Paris Chamber of Commerce and the French Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
War crimes, a topic addressed by Reiss, were also explored in works from Cruz's private library, but in this case decried by the other side, that is, by the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 1915, the ministry published a pamphlet in Portuguese that was a racist manifesto against the "Employment, contrary to International Law, of Uncivilized Colored Troops upon the European Theatre of War by England and France." In this document, military commanders and civilians recount atrocities and narrate the murder of war casualties by foreigners, especially Africans hired by the Allied armies.
Lastly, an item of special interest: "O desastre do Lusitania e os verdadeiros responsáveis" [The disaster of the Lusitania and those truly responsible], a one-page flyer that reports on the torpedoing of the trans-Atlantic ocean liner Lusitania by a German submarine on May 7, 1915. In 1907, when the British vessel was built, it was considered one of the largest in the world. The ship was making its way from New York City to Liverpool when it was hit, killing around 1,200 people.
Some years earlier, Cruz had sailed the same course. After attending the Third International Sanitary Convention in Mexico City and then visiting Washington, D.C., where he met with President Theodore Roosevelt, Cruz had boarded the Lusitania, on December 14, 1907. [DRG5] He was on his way to Liverpool, where he visited the School of Tropical Medicine; he then continued on to London, where he spent Christmas.
Oswaldo Cruz: eye-witness to World War I
On June 15, 1914, Oswaldo Cruz set sail for Europe with his wife, Emília da Fonseca Cruz, and their three children. Traveling with them were one of his sisters-in-law, his mother-in-law, and a governess. They landed in Paris in mid-July. On August 3, Germany declared war on France, forcing them to leave the French capital. Cruz and family departed for London that very day, because he believed they would run fewer risks there. However, the next day, August 4, 1914, the British government, under the command of Prime Minister H. H.enry Asquith, [DRG6] declared war on the German Empire.
Cruz and his family were suddenly and unexpectedly caught in the midst of a world conflict, enduring the hardships of a country at war. In his letters to his son Bento and to his mother, Amália Taborda Bulhões, Cruz often mentions the rumors circulating in London about a possible air strike by German zeppelins. He writes that the city was cast into darkness at night, all street lamps off. Only Hyde Park remained lighted, in the hopes it would be mistaken for the city center, [DRG7] thus diverting any possible attack away from inhabited areas. Writing to his mother on October 22, Cruz said that the family's return would depend on how the war went, since an ocean crossing would be dangerous right then. He also wrote that the city was safe but "sad": the leaves had begun to fall; when the sun came out, it was hidden behind thick gray fog; night was pitch-black. Apparently to tranquilize his mother—or perhaps because he believed it himself—Cruz ended his missive by writing "the zeppelins are expected but they haven't come and I don't think they will."
As we know, he was wrong. In the following years, the German Empire's zeppelins conducted 51 air raids on England, killing 58 soldiers and 500 civilians. The first strike hit the edges of the city of Great Yarmouth, on January 19, 1915. London was attacked on June 1 of that same year. Public opinion was heavily swayed by the use of this aircraft because it targeted civilians, rather than following traditional warfare and restricting fighting to armed combatants on the battlefield.
Cruz was not a witness to the first air strike. He was headed to Brazil aboard the Frisia, a ship sailing under the Dutch flag (the Netherlands was neutral in World War I); he arrived in late January. He had decided to return alone since he felt it would be safer for his family to stay in London rather than undertake an ocean crossing where they might suffer an attack by the German submarines then torpedoing both freighters and passenger ships. Wrong again—perhaps because Cruz did not believe the Germans would actually extend their fighting to cities outside the war zone and drop bombs on civilians.
In a letter to his wife, dated June 9, 1915, Cruz wrote: "I was extremely upset by the news of the zeppelin's visit to London and therefore I telegraphed you asking you to return. It is no longer safe there. I am not fearful of the result of the zeppelins as weapons of war, but they are capable of causing grave misfortune." The family escaped the London air raid unscathed and left the city in early July, reaching Rio in late August.

As the curtain drew on NZB's 2018 Ready to Run Sale of Two-Year-Olds, New Zealand sires took centre stage with Champion sire Savabeel and fellow leading sire Tavistock in demand. Savabeel progeny accounted for the top four prices of the Sale and was crowned leading sire by aggregate and average (three or more sold). The aggregate at the close of selling reached $24,325,500 for 252 horses sold, while the average reached $96,530 and the clearance rate settled at 68%. Overall, results were back on last year's Australasian record-breaking Sale.


I added a special section focusing on marketing analytics to the February 2012 issue of The CMO Survey. With all the talk about "big data" and the billions of dollars companies appear to pouring into capturing, processing, and leverage customer data, I thought it would be a good idea to examine where companies are on a few key issues and also where they expect to be over time on this strategic investment.
I asked top marketers to report what percentage of their marketing budgets they spend on marketing analytics. I think this is a reasonable request given that 70% of all top marketers state that the marketing analytics group reports to them. Results indicate that companies currently spend an average of 5.7% of their marketing budgets on marketing analytics and that this number is expected to grow to 9.1% in the next three years. This 60% increase represents a sizable shift. To put it in perspective, marketing budgets overall have grown 8.3% over the last two years. This growth varies by company size and industry sector. Looking at Table 1, we can see that, in general, current marketing analytic spending levels and expected growth levels correlate with company size (measured as revenues). There is a trough near the middle for companies between $500M-$999M, but otherwise the relationship is positive and significant. Examining sector differences in Table 2, we see that services companies, overall, spend more on marketing analytics now and will remain ahead of product companies in the next three years. From these figures, service companies appear to understand the "big data" opportunity and believe they can leverage it to create more value for their customers.
I also asked top marketers to report on the number of company employees dedicated to marketing analytics currently and what they expect in three years. Results indicate that companies currently employ, on average, 5.8 people and expect this number to increase to 6.9 people. This increase reflects a 19% increase. Compared to the 60% increase we observe in spending on marketing analytics, these results tell us that firms will spend more on systems than on people during this big data boom. Human capital will grow, but it will grow less than the capital investments companies are going to make in marketing analytic systems. I predict that if I continue to ask these questions over time, this emphasis will shift. That is, once companies have systems in place, the key element will be people who can manage and leverage these systems in strategy decisions.
It's also interesting how company size (in terms of revenues) is related to these hiring levels. Looking again at Table 1 but especially at the last two columns, we see very little difference in company expenditures until we hit the $1B mark at which point the average jumps from ~1.3 people up to 9.1 people for companies with $1B-9B in sales and then to an astonishingly high level of 26.4 people! Examining sectors, we see that product companies, overall, have dedicated more human capital to marketing analytics than service companies! This difference dissipates some in the next three years. Let me therefore revise my hypotheses about service companies appearing to understand the "big data" opportunity and believe they can leverage it to create more value for their customers. Instead, it appears that service companies might be playing catch up on systems whereas product companies are fine –tuning the human element of the marketing analytics equation. This later theory appears more valid given that product companies also appear to use marketing analytics in a greater percentage of their projects. Look at Table 3. There we see that B2C product companies in particular beat the rest of the sectors in the use of marketing analytics to drive decisions. I'll return to this topic in my next blog—stay tuned.
Very interesting information and perspective. The human element of the marketing analytics equation is of particular interest to me as I work in marketing capability development, in which change management is a key activity. Embedding marketing analytics, I think, in a company's ways of working at the individual level requires attitude and behavior change, and will therefore continue to be one of the challenges to truly benefitting from Big Data. Looking forward to more posts on this topic.
Thanks for the comment, Ali. Agreed on the criticality of the human element. Marketing analytics will not be a force for effective strategy unless is it built into capabilities and derived from the human capital that drives organizations. Most fundamentally, marketing analytics must be trusted as a source of objective information to guide key strategic decisions in the company. The Marketing Workbench lab was a great inspiration for me when I was a Ph.D. student. John is a good friend and colleague.
Christine, great article, it lends itself for a great discussion. Here are my thoughts. Great analytics stems from a great analyst who is able to take ownership on the skillset he/she needs and to solve for data and process gaps across the company. Usually average tools are not a limiting factor to great analytics (however they can be to a complete CRM solution). It is interesting how investment on analytics changes by company size. Not only a strong analyst is hard to find, but can be expensive. A small company tends to hire mediocre analysts and invest in tools to achieve economies of scale, but is should be the other way around. A large company that finds the right person to lead analytics benefits from key tactical and strategic indications that return a sizable ROI, therefore it is more likely to invest following the directions of its analytics leader.
Its incredible how traditional Marketing managers become afraid when facing true info provided by analytcs .
The key issue for us (owner of Analytic Marketing Consulting Company) is to convince them that is worthwhile to invest on Analytcs. Off course waste money on non efficient campaigns is not an issue as long as nobody discover it.
Excellent points. Sorry for the delay in responding and publishing your remarks.
I find this all encouraging news- more accountability and transparency helps demonstrate of the performance of marketing teams.

RECORD ATTENDANCE AT ANNUAL CHRISTMAS PARADE, OQUINN CUTS RIBBON
A record number of floats streamed through historic downtown Bristol during the annual Christmas parade on Thursday night.
Paula Hurt of the Bristol Chamber of Commerce said there were 201 entries, ranging from marching bands to retailers, in the parade. The previous record of 199 entries was broken, she said.
A number of local officials, and a Hollywood star, were also featured in the parade. The star, Grundy, Virginia, native Ryan O'Quinn, brought a film crew to downtown.
The crew captured the lights and sounds of the annual parade for a new Hollywood motion picture. After cutting a ribbon with local leader, the film crew spent time along State Street.
The movie crew is developing a Christmas movie, titled "Believe," for Threshold Visions.
"I went all the way to Hollywood to bring producers back to Grundy to shoot a movie," O'Quinn told the Bristol Herald Courier. "When I read the script, I envisioned the people and the setting of Southwest Virginia."
Downtown Bristol, which attracted thousands of residents for the parade, will be featured in the film.

Spain confirms first cases of British virus variant
posted December 27, 2020 at 06:00 am by AFP
Spain has registered its first cases of a coronavirus variant believed to be particularly infectious that emerged in Britain, Madrid's regional government said on Saturday.
The region said four cases had been detected involving people who had recently arrived from the UK or had close contact with someone who had.
The father, mother, and sister of a young man who arrived in Madrid by plane last week have tested positive for the coronavirus variant, it added.
The young man is suspected to have the new variant as well but Spanish authorities are waiting for the results of a polymerase chain reaction PCR test to confirm this.
The fourth confirmed case of the new variant involves a man who arrived in Madrid on December 20 on another flight.
"The patients are not seriously ill, we know that this strain is more transmissible, but it does not cause more serious illness," Madrid regional deputy health chief Antonio Zapatero told a news conference.
"There is no need for alarm."
There are another three suspected cases of the coronavirus variant but the results of tests will only be available on Tuesday or Wednesday, Zapatero said.
The new strain of the virus has prompted more than 50 countries including Spain to impose travel restrictions on the UK.
Madrid has banned all entries from the United Kingdom except for Spanish nationals and residents.
France and Italy have also already confirmed cases of the new variant, while the World Health Organization reported that nine cases have been detected in Denmark and one each in the Netherlands and Australia.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said the new viral strain "may be up to 70 percent more transmissible than the original version of the disease".
