Bright Peak Therapeutics’ Post

You just don't get to learn and hear from an entire news ecosystem for 3 days in one place that often; stunning location & conductorship from Claire Stuchbery and the LINA: Local & Independent News Association people : ) Some stuff that will stick with me for a while: hearing from Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) on media diversity measurement in 2024, i.e. the heart of the advocacy work by LINA and the Digital Publishers Alliance; defining + tracking impact and how do newsrooms challenge the statu quo; experimenting for new revenue streams when you're a one-wo/man news operation; learning about the practical use of Solutions Journalism at Missing Perspectives and Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC); discovering micro media reporting models like *PS Media and debating the ins and outs of ad-based, subscriptions, donations & memberships models...

Connections and entrepreneurship are global topics in all endeavors. They are also great topics to discuss over a glass of good wine.

No big deal, our CTO, Spencer Peterson, just happens to be one of Utah's leading minds in AI technology and implementation. We're proud of how he builds along the bleeding edge of tech, we're proud of how he applies his knowledge to challenges facing education, and we're proud of his natural leadership for Halda, Utah, and beyond. Check out this session, "Deploying AI in the Real World", to get a window into the kind of things we're learning from Spencer every day.

Only creativity can make a real change

When beautifully considered events meet purposely crafted visuals, something very special happens. Watching this video made me think – the more we continue to work on a myriad of projects from Video Production, Graphic Design, Creative Strategy etc, the more we realise each process may be different, but the creative thinking is always the same. What are we trying to say... with this shot, this angle, this lighting, this soundtrack, this typography, this icon, this brand messaging, this social post. This video is no exception. From the journey the viewer goes on from entering the venue, exploring the rooms to enjoying the live music – each shot adds a new aspect, a new element or a new feeling to build the larger experience. ...and with amazing events MGN events crafts, it not only provides a visually interesting result, but a conceptually cohesive production. #videoproduction #eventvideography #creativeprocess

Only ideas make money 😉🙂

Hydac way of cooling … also in the Wind sector !

Next Monday, the 1st of July, is Keti Koti. It is a day of great significance to me, as it is the commemoration and celebration of the end of slavery in Surinam and the former Dutch Antilles. It is a day where I emphasize the necessity to remember the Dutch history, in its totality. I understand the time we live in is one of transition, into creating a complete narrative of our common Dutch heritage, and this comes with uncomfortable conversations and self-reflection for all of us. A couple of years ago, I requested my then employer for a company wide day off on the 1st of July. I was met with a counter-offer: a day of shared learning for all colleagues who were interested. At first I was hesitant, what if no one cared? But I said yes, as I felt we had to start somewhere. We created a day filled program, where colleagues could soak up history, ask questions and attend the Keti Koti festival. The team showed up. This openness and willingness to learn from both sides was heartwarming and made me feel seen - as a human, as opposed to an employee. We all have a responsibility in shaping this heritage, which should not happen behind closed doors. This is a conversation that should be had in every space of our country, irrespective of location or sector. In honour of the 1st of July, I implore you to take the responsibility to educate one another on this topic and create an understanding that our story - how we choose to live and work together - is far from complete. We all actively choose who to remember and who to forget. If my ancestors’ stories are irrelevant to our history, what does that mean for our future? I have compiled some resources in the comments - primarily in Dutch. Please feel free to re-share anything in your Teams, Slack, WhatsApp groups or any other means of professional communications. If you have any resources to add, feel free! Please do attend your local Keti Koti celebrations, and celebrate and commemorate with us. Wishing you a very very switi manspasi dey.✊🏽🇸🇷

Many thanks to Pat Dambe for reposting this. My knowledge about the natural diamond industry at the mining level is limited but it is certainly refreshing to listen to the Botswana President who speaks with such clarity and conviction about his position on certain issues. Lightbox was a big mistake. And yet Al Cook is still not ready to get rid of Lightbox. I do not understand the logic that De beers needs to be in the LGD retailing business to understand it. Time and time again De beers efforts to undermine the LGD category has backfired. Lightbox has no standing in the LGD category. It is not a credible player. Al Cook’s favorite word is “bifurcation” what does it really mean ? It is a given in consumers goods that the same product can have different price points that are intended to appeal to different segments of the market. The price itself does not change the product nature. I can buy a baguette for HKD 50 or a baguette for HD 30 in Hong Kong from two bakeries. One has a French name and one is a local brand. Is that “bifurcation” ? Martin Rapaport latest stance is that naturals are for rich people and LGD are for poor people. No one is talking about the fact that it is highly likely that somehow all the Russian diamonds will find a way into the market so it is likely that the natural diamond polished market itself will have two tiers. Russian goods and other non sanctioned goods. Consumers will not be able to tell which is which. Consumers will be confused and wary. I also do not understand how some naturals from Botswana will be branded as Botswana diamond and some won’t. De beers will also brand their diamonds as such or via Tracr. So why not get De beers to agree that all diamonds from Bostwana should be marketed as Bostwana diamonds. This is all very very confusing. Bostwana needs to be more firm with De beers. The President says he is does not agree with some of the Db strategy. Well don’t sign the new agreement with DB until the issues are dealt with. Why get married when there are already disagreements ? It will get worse and not better. Al Cook is a lost soul. He is flipping and flopping. In the latest FT article he wants 1000 retail store. Is Forevermark in China or not or will it be only in India. There is so many variations that has been reported. Can Al Cook even remember all the different versions in his myriads of interviews ? The media just sucks it up. Incredible and sloppy journalism. Can someone fact check what Al is saying to different media in different interviews ?
