In this episode, Elena Armijo interviews Ned Hanlon, the president of AGMA (American Guild of Musical Artists) union, about leadership and the future of the arts industry. Ned shares his journey to union leadership, starting with his involvement in negotiating his contract with the Metropolitan Opera. He found his calling in the legal and negotiation side of union leadership and has been actively involved for the past 10 years. Check out Elena's website to learn more about how she can support you in seeing and using the power that resides within you. The pandemic has served as a wake-up call for artists, making them realize the importance of taking care of each other through unions. Companies cannot always provide stability, and artists need to rely on collective action to protect their interests. Ned's goals as AGMA president are to build solidarity through alliances with other unions, empower artists to speak up, and protect them from retaliation. One of the key focuses of the union is diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility. This is addressed both internally within the union and during contract negotiations with companies. By addressing these important issues, the union aims to create a safer environment for artists, tackling problems like harassment and discrimination. Ned sees his role as a facilitator rather than the sole leader. He believes in harnessing the collective power of union members and building consensus. Effective negotiations involve understanding all perspectives, finding common ground, and being willing to exert collective power if necessary. However, Ned emphasizes the importance of avoiding "scorched earth" tactics that can harm all parties involved. Looking to the future, Ned's hope is for the arts industry to survive its current difficulties. He wants all artists to feel empowered to improve their work conditions without fear, and he believes the union can play a crucial role in creating a safe and supportive environment for artists to speak up and advocate for themselves.   Let's Get Social!  Want to hear more from Elena?

Inclusivity and accessibility are one of the most important trends in contemporary tourismindustry, in relation to other trends such as sustainability, digitalisation, or even luxury expedition voyages. Tourism providers should give proper attention to customers with specific needs and must be open to all kinds of potential access requirements. In this context, accessible services will become a critical factor in the tourism industry. Moreover, tourism managers and respective frontline staff need to better understand the specific requirements and accessibility issues of all kinds of customers to provide specific services to all target groups. Our project team at the University of Applied Sciences in Dresden, which consists of colleagues from the Business as well as the Applied Social Science department, currently targets these issues as institutional partners of the Erasmus+ Project IN-TOUR. In this project, we develop two types of curricula that will offer quality education and training for accessible tourism. In this episode of Managing Around, I will first introduce you to the project IN-TOUR and share how we developed different courses that will commence next month and should help students of tourism and event management to plan for more inclusive offers and services.References:Arnold, M., Richter, M., & Müller, J.

Accessibilty is essential in today's digital world.   If you have a website, have you considered if it's easy for people with visual impairments to access?   Have you used colours and fonts which are difficult to read? Or challenging language that might be hard for someone to understand if English isn't their first language?   Technology is incredible and screen reader software helps people who are blind or partially sighted people navigate their way around websites.   But that's only possible if the website itself has been properly set up.   www.rnib.org.uk has some advice on accessibility and both the UK and Scottish Governments have too.   Among the steps you can take to make your content more accessible is to be sure to include ‘alt text' on any images you have on your website that means the screen reader software can tell the user what the picture is that they can't see and if you publish podcasts or videos you should generate transcripts and captions for them.   Devices themselves are also helping - many smartphones offer text to speech translation and automatic captions on any video or audio material played through the phone.   Chromebooks all have a built in screenreader called ChromeVox - access it by pressing CTL ALT Z, then close your eyes, and get some insight into what it's like to visit a website and have to rely on additional support to understand what's going on.  

Whilst praising the staff at the Lonsdale and Regency Park metropolitan vehicle inspection sites, the SA Nationals' lead candidate for the upper house says private, price-controlled and licensed certifiers could help taxpayers get better value for what they pay for, and again calls for postal voting for the March 19 state election due to COVID-19 transmission concerns

E estamos de volta… Para falar de um dos livros mais necessários já publicados para Fate, não apenas para o sistema Fate, mas para o RPG como um todo. Vamos falar do Fate Accessibility Toolkit (FAcT), ou o Guia para Acessibilidade em Fate, focado em como tornar personagens com condições atípicas muito mais do que estereótipos e mostrar que condições atípicas podem ser muito mais que mecânicas de horror lovecraftiano ou pontos para aprimorar outras partes. Falamos sobre o risco dos estereótipos, sobre como um personagem pode, ainda que contando com condições atípicas, ser tão competente, proativo e dramático quanto qualquer outro, sobre os problemas do “kit do psicopata feliz” e da narrativa de superação e sobre como é importante sempre fazer a lição de casa, tanto ao criar personagens com condições atípicas quanto ao aumentar o acesso de jogadores com tais condições ao RPG, que é um hobby que tem possibilidade de ser muito mais inclusivo do que atualmente fazemos. Esse longo episódio também é regado com exemplos pessoais e informações nossas. E deixamos o pedido: você que conheça jogadores ou seja jogador de RPG que tenha condições que demandem algum tipo de atenção especial, como baixa visão, surdez ou condições psicológicas e que deseje dividir suas experiências conosco, por favor entre em contato conosco no fatemasterspodcast@gmail.com e divida conosco sua história, já que esse debate que está sendo aberto nesse podcast não foi encerrado E lembrando aquilo que não te contaram sobre a acessibilidade: Nem toda pessoa com alguma deficiência deseja ser curada Nem sempre dá para se curar uma deficiência Binarismo em deficiências é uma ilusão: a maior parte das deficiências não são oito ou oitenta, vindo em escalas. Dispositivos de Acessibilidade são ferramentas, não brinquedos A deficiência não é toda a sua identidade, ainda que possa ser algo importante. Você pode ser um cego judeu, ou uma pessoa de cor cadeirante, ou uma mulher com bipolaridade, ou um homem trans autista… ou qualquer outra coisa. Pessoas com deficiência são pessoas complexas, como qualquer outra. Dor é um conceito relativo: certas dores podem ser simplesmente ignoradas se você as sente o tempo todo Deficiências não são caixinhas: elas variam de pessoa para pessoa. Mesmo pessoas que tenham o mesmo tipo de deficiência podem lidar com ela de formas diferentes. Nem toda deficiência é visível: algumas podem não ser vistas, mas ainda poderem influenciar a vida da pessoa. Pense em pessoas diagnosticadas como autistas.

As part of a recurring series on the mechanisms, impacts and possible resolutions for discrimination in the art market, in honour of World Braille Day (Jan 4th) - my inspiration for this month - I'll be looking at how the art market treats visually impaired artists in their museums, how audiences view them, and how institutions are becoming more accessible to visually impaired audiences.

This episode is a little funny but not funny. Lol! In this episode, I told the story about how I forget things and how I forgot about what I was going to talk about to wrap up the Accessibility series. Also shared a little story about my experience with Alt Text. I just called it a rant, what do you think could be a better title?

Lauren Siegel’s difficulty seeing affects her everyday life in some ways, but most jarring are the social implications. When’s the last time you were at a restaurant and the waiter asked your parents, “What does she want?” That still happens to Lauren, and she’s in her second year in college. Lauren shares stories of people stopping traffic to help her cross the street (something she regularly does perfectly well on her own), lacking blind role models growing up, and the financial costs of being born legally blind.

Every parent wants their child to have opportunity to experience new things. Options for children in the deaf community are limited, particularly when it comes to theatre.

"When you meet someone with disability on the road, it's not time to give them money. It's more appropriate to find ways that they could be their best in their situation."

Today, he is helping individuals with disabilities access technology that help them improve their productivity.Lead Your Life Series, is a special edition of Lead Your Life Podcast. We share real life experiences of how personal struggles and seeming setbacks were turned into phenomenal stories of hope and grace. About Ayoola Efunkoya Ayoola Stephen Efunkoya is a journalist with more than five years experience in reporting, writing, interviewing, editing and producing for radio as well as sound recording and editing.His interest in journalism dates to his days in elementary and high schools and has since grown because he believes the profession provides a rare opportunity to draw the attention of both government and the society to communities and issues which would otherwise have gained little or no attention because they are often under-reported.As a visually impaired person himself, he considers blind persons as members of his immediate community. In service to this community, he started Accessibility 360 with the aim of researching, informing, educating and training other blind persons to use assistive and mainstream technology. He is motivated to do this because, according to him, his own achievements are largely the result of technology’s impact in equipping the blind to fit and compete in school, at work, at play and in other spheres of life. So far, at least 100 blind persons in Lagos and its surrounding towns come together through Accessibility 360 to learn, share ideas and resolve each other's challenges with technology via a WhatsApp group and on Facebook.Efunkoya is also interested in marketing communication, social media, public speaking, small businesses, media research, leadership and management.The communication professional and accessible technology enthusiast/trainer is an alumni of the President Barack Obama-initiated Young African Leaders Initiative and LEAP Africa’s Young Leadership Programme.Efunkoya was the best graduating student in the 2009 class at the University of Lagos’ Mass Communication Department with a cumulative grade point of 4.36 of a possible 5.00 and where he also received numerous awards.He has a Masters degree in Communication and Language Arts from the University of Ibadan and also attended Loyola Jesuit College.When he is not working, you are likely to find him reading, listening to music or in conversation with someone.
