Watch The Extended Uncensored Version Of this Episode in The True North Movement https://www.patrickcoffin.media/the-true-north-movement/ The Antichrist is all the rage nowadays. In this video, author and host Patrick Coffin breaks down the biblical and traditional portraits of the Antichrist, and separates fact from fiction. Since the 1970s in movies like “The Omen,” Hollywood has tried to artistically portray the Antichrist but almost always gets it wrong while over-dramatizing, yet paradoxically underestimating the evil involved. Topics covered in this episode: - The recent historical context for interest in the Antichrist - The four places in the Bible where he is explicitly mentioned: 1 John 2:11; John 2:22, 1 John 4:3; 2 John 1:7. - Examples of cultural and societal disruption and increased sense of evil and danger - How the Conclave that resulted in the appearance of Jorge Mario Bergoglio is part of that disruption - The three modes of antichrist: any spirit that denies the Incarnation; prototypes in history of the Antichrist; and the appearance of the real thing just before Christ returns. - The qualities of the Antichrist in Scripture compared to the background and the behavior and aims of Elon Musk Resources mentioned in this episode: Letter of Adso to Queen Gerberga Concerning the Origin and Life of Antichrist https://www.tha.de/~harsch/Chronologia/Lspost10/Adso/Letter%20of%20Adso%20to%20Queen%20Gerberga%20Concerning.htm A Story Of Anti-Christ https://amzn.to/3Yh9CK3 by Vladimir Sergaevitch Soloviev Full 1947 radio address on the Antichrist by Bishop Fulton Sheenhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=-ScNW0M5zBM

«Siglo XIV. Fray Guillermo de Baskerville (Sean Connery), monje franciscano y antiguo inquisidor, y su inseparable discípulo, el novicio Adso de Melk (Christian Slater), visitan una abadía benedictina, situada en el norte de Italia, para esclarecer la muerte del joven miniaturista Adelmo de Otranto. Durante su estancia, desaparecen misteriosamente otros monjes que después aparecen muertos». (FILMAFFINITY)

Using his deductive powers, William begins investigating what he believes to be murder. During the course of his investigation, several more monks wind up dead. With fear running through the abbey, the church leaders call forth Bernardo Gui (F. Murray Abraham), William's nemesis, to find the truth.Be sure to subscribe on your favorite pod platform and our YOUTUBE channel!Visit thecultworthy.comVisit https://www.themoviewire.comVideo: https://www.youtube.com/@back2thebalcony

Attention, film culte ! 38 ans après sa sortie, Le Nom de la rose revient au cinéma, avec un Sean Connery méconnaissable. Devenu très difficile à voir depuis quelques années pour une question de droits, le long métrage a été restauré en version 4K. L'occasion de le découvrir ou le redécouvrir dans les meilleures conditions possibles.Le Nom de la rose est le 4ème long métrage du réalisateur Jean-Jacques Annaud, sorti entre La guerre du feu et L'ours. Le film est adapté d'un livre qui est lui même devenu très vite un best-seller, signé Umberto Ecco. Un livre somme que Jean-Jacques Annaud a donc dû adapter (il y a eu 17 versions du scénario !) et réduire (le livre représente environ 25h de lecture vs 2h de spectacle pour le cinéma).Le film peut être présenté comme une forme de "whodunit", un film avec une trame policière qui vous tient en haleine...Rencontre avec Jean-Jacques Annaud (2ème partie) pour évoquer cette ressortie événement (qui sera suivie dans quelques mois de l'édition d'un nouveau DVD / Blu-Ray du film avec de nombreux bonus).L'histoire : En l'an 1327, dans une abbaye bénédictine, des moines disparaissent. Un franciscain, Guillaume de Baskerville aidé du jeune novice Adso von Melk mène l'enquête. C'est l'époque où l'Eglise, en pleine crise, se voit disputer son pouvoir spirituel et temporel. C'est aussi l'apogée de l'inquisition. Un thriller moyenageux très attendu préparé avec soin pendant trois ans, respectant le mieux possible l'époque et qui a coûté la bagatelle de dix-neuf millions de dollars. C'est également un film de Jean-Jacques Annaud toujours passionnément entraîné par ses sujets.Pour être sur de ne manquer aucun épisode, on vous invite à vous abonner à notre chaine Allociné Podcast, sur Spotify, Deezer, Apple podcast ou votre appli préférée.N'hésitez pas à partager, noter, commenter l'émission et à vous abonner à AlloCiné Podcasts.Tous nos épisodes sont à retrouver sur les plateformes de podcast, dont Deezer, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Acast...Crédits :Journaliste : Brigitte BaronnetRéalisation et montage : Kellian Sarrazin

Una Intrigante Adaptación Literaria en la Pantalla Grande La adaptación cinematográfica de obras literarias ha sido una tradición en la industria del cine durante décadas. Sin embargo, no todas las adaptaciones logran capturar la esencia y la profundidad de la obra original. "El Nombre de la Rosa," dirigida por Jean-Jacques Annaud y basada en la novela homónima de Umberto Eco, es una de esas excepciones notables en las que la película no solo respeta la esencia del libro, sino que también le agrega una dimensión visual y auditiva que eleva la experiencia del espectador. Un Vistazo a la Trama La película, lanzada en 1986, está ambientada en el siglo XIV en un monasterio benedictino en Italia. El protagonista, Guillermo de Baskerville, interpretado por Sean Connery, es un monje franciscano que llega al monasterio para resolver una serie de misteriosas muertes. Su joven aprendiz, Adso de Melk, interpretado por Christian Slater, lo acompaña en esta intriga llena de giros y misterios. La historia se desarrolla en medio de un ambiente opresivo y claustrofóbico, donde la influencia de la Iglesia y el poder monástico son palpables. El conflicto entre la razón y la fe se convierte en un tema central a medida que Guillermo, un hombre de mente abierta y empírico, investiga los asesinatos mientras se enfrenta a la resistencia de la ortodoxia religiosa. Elenco y Actuación La elección del elenco es uno de los puntos más fuertes de la película. Sean Connery ofrece una actuación memorable como Guillermo de Baskerville, mostrando su destreza como un pensador lógico y también como un hombre comprensivo. Christian Slater, en uno de sus primeros papeles importantes, aporta frescura y vulnerabilidad a su personaje, Adso de Melk. Además, el elenco de apoyo, que incluye a figuras notables como F. Murray Abraham y Ron Perlman, aporta profundidad y autenticidad a la representación de los diversos personajes del monasterio. Ambiente y Escenografía La película utiliza el entorno del monasterio con gran habilidad para crear una atmósfera asfixiante y sombría. Los pasillos oscuros, las celdas austeras y las imágenes religiosas ominosas contribuyen a un sentimiento de misterio y tensión. La cinematografía de Tonino Delli Colli es excepcional, capturando los detalles y la belleza de la arquitectura medieval de forma impresionante. La Adaptación Fiel al Libro Una de las razones por las que "El Nombre de la Rosa" se destaca entre las adaptaciones literarias es su fidelidad al material original. La película respeta la complejidad de la novela de Umberto Eco, manteniendo su intrincada trama y diálogos filosóficos. Aunque algunas subtramas se simplifican para ajustarse al formato cinematográfico, la esencia del libro se mantiene intacta. El Diálogo entre Fe y Razón "El Nombre de la Rosa" es mucho más que una simple historia de misterio. A través de los personajes de Guillermo y Adso, la película plantea cuestiones profundas sobre el conflicto entre la razón y la fe, la intolerancia religiosa y el conocimiento. La película invita a los espectadores a reflexionar sobre estas cuestiones sin imponer respuestas definitivas. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Álvaro García de El Fancine- https://elfan-cine.blogspot.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Antena Historia te regala 30 días PREMIUM, para que lo disfrutes https://www.ivoox.com/premium?affiliate-code=b4688a50868967db9ca413741a54cea5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produce Antonio Cruz Edita ANTENA HISTORIA Antena Historia (podcast) forma parte del sello iVoox Originals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- web……….https://antenahistoria.com/ correo.....info@antenahistoria.com Facebook…..Antena Historia Podcast | Facebook Twitter…...https://twitter.com/AntenaHistoria Telegram…...https://t.me/foroantenahistoria DONACIONES PAYPAL...... https://paypal.me/ancrume ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¿QUIERES ANUNCIARTE en ANTENA HISTORIA?, menciones, cuñas publicitarias, programas personalizados, etc. Dirígete a Antena Historia - AdVoices Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

Hi, y'all - We enjoyed this episode even if it wasn't the most action-packed (other than the inevitable fire and all those windows exploding, RIP all nine thousand big house windows). Amazing costuming work in this one, and lots of great hot pess! We have returned the favor by recording this episode in which we indulge in quite a bit of hot pess ourselves. Everyone be glad that Adso survived, because if not, we would have peaced out. Lots of love, Allison and Julie Photo Credit - © Starz (2023)
MIlo Manara adapta al cómic "El nombre de la rosa", la mítica novela de Umberto Eco, que inspiró una magnífica adaptación cinematográfica y un fantástico videojuego en los años 80 ("La abadía del crimen"). La editorial Lumen ha publicado el primer volumen (de 2) donde el maestro Manara, asistido en el color por su hija Simona, se aleja de forma deliberada de la película de Jean Jacques Annaud para ser más fiel a la obra original, aunque ha tenido que resumir mucho. En sus viñetas, Guillermo de Baskerville tiene la apariencia de Marlon Brando (en la película fue interpretado por Sean Connery), se recrean las visiones de su joven discípulo Adso de Melk, los trabajos y miniaturas de los monjes del scriptorium de la biblioteca, la imponente arquitectura de la abadía, y también se permite alguna que otra concesión al erotismo que le ha hecho famoso.Escuchar audio
Milo Manara met en image le polar médiéval d'Umberto Eco, « Le nom de la Rose », « une cathédrale » de la littérature qu'il a taillée comme le sculpteur un bloc de marbre. Le premier tome de cette adaptation en deux volumes est paru en mai en Italie chez Oblomov, se classant d'emblée numéro 1 des ventes de BD. Il sortira en septembre en français chez Glénat. « Je me suis retrouvé face à une cathédrale. L'enjeu était d'identifier les murs porteurs et d'enlever des pierres sans la faire s'écrouler, retirer ce qui n'était pas indispensable à sa stabilité », explique Milo Manara à l'AFP. « Il faut tailler, comme Michel-Ange le disait du marbre », dit-il dans un entretien téléphonique depuis son atelier près de Vérone, dans le nord de l'Italie. Le best-seller d'Umberto Eco, publié en 1980 et traduit en plus de 40 langues, se passe en 1327 et met en scène Guillaume de Baskerville, un moine franciscain érudit et rationnel, qui enquête sur une série de meurtres dans une abbaye des Alpes italiennes, en compagnie d'un jeune novice bénédictin, Adso de Melk. Le récit de l'écrivain et essayiste italien est ancré dans un Moyen-Âge barbare, où l'Inquisition expie et torture les hérétiques succombant à la luxure, au doute mystique, aux hallucinations.

Esistono libri che chiunque, anche il meno appassionato dei lettori, conosce. Titoli che risuonano come noti e celebri nelle orecchie di ognuno di noi. È il caso de Il nome della rosa di Umberto Eco, pubblicato per la prima volta da Bompiani nel 1980.Mi chiamo Coralie, studio letteratura italiana, e oggi vi parlerò di questo geniale romanzo, vincitore del premio Strega e tradotto in più di 40 lingue.L'autore, Umberto Eco, non ha bisogno di lunghe presentazioni; oltre a pubblicare saggi e romanzi, è stato professore universitario e direttore editoriale della casa editrice Bompiani. I suoi studi riguardano ambiti diversi: la cultura di massa, la semiotica, ma anche il Medioevo.Ecco quindi che non deve stupirci, e nemmeno spaventarci, l'ambientazione medievale del romanzo. In una nota di commento all'opera l'autore stesso dichiara di avere inizialmente pensato a rendere contemporanea la vicenda, ma alla fine ha cambiato idea fortunatamente.La storia è ambientata in un'abbazia del Nord Italia e a raccontarla in prima persona è Adso da Melk, giovane novizio al tempo dei fatti narrati e ormai anziano, che viaggia insieme al suo maestro, e protagonista del romanzo, Guglielmo da Baskerville.La storia inizia con l'arrivo di frate Guglielmo e Adso presso un monastero benedettino, dove si sono recati per partecipare a un incontro che vedrà due gruppi di religiosi confrontarsi in merito alla questione della povertà della Chiesa. La vicenda religiosa però, pur rimanendo presente, passa in secondo piano quando la quiete dell'abbazia inizia a essere turbata da una serie di misteriose morti, che sembrano essere collegate a un manoscritto segreto, custodito nella biblioteca dell'abbazia e poi scomparso. Guglielmo viene incaricato di indagare sulla vicenda, il suo personaggio è sicuramente uno dei più interessanti: brillante e acuto, capace di giugnere a conclusioni degne delle indagini dei detective protagonisti delle serie TV, condisce le sue ricerche con riflessioni filosofiche e perle di saggezza. Adso è il perfetto co-protagonista, goffo e impacciato sa essere, al momento opportuno, un aiuto prezioso (spesso senza saperlo, ma ciò che conta è il risultato).La vicenda si sviluppa in sette giorni, a loro volta divisi seguendo i ritmi della vita monastica, la trama alterna indagini, riflessioni teologiche e il racconto dell'incontro tra le due delegazioni. Certo quest'ultima parte può sembrare poco interessante, ma fidatevi dell'acuta penna di Eco, capace di rendere divertenti e piacevoli anche questi passaggi.Un grande pregio di questo romanzo è il fatto che possa essere letto da chiunque, a prescindere dall'interesse e dalla conoscenza del mondo monastico medievale, che è piuttosto un vivace sottofondo che si lascia cogliere da ciascuno in modo differente. Gli “addetti ai lavori” potranno apprezzare i riferimenti culturali, teologici e storici (oltre alle citazioni in latino), un lettore curioso si farà invece catturare dall'avvincente trama legata al mistero delle morti e del manoscritto.Eco stesso, parlando del suo romanzo, ha dichiarato che non spetta all'autore decidere quale sia la giusta chiave di lettura, questo è un compito del lettore.

Hoy os traemos un pedazo de película: El nombre de la rosa. Un film coproducido por Italia, Francia y Alemania y protagonizado por un elenco monumental para dar vida a los personajes retratados por la novela homónima de Umberto Eco, eco, eco, co… Hay que decir que la novela es, entre otras cosas, un retrato de Sherlock Holmes y Watson en el medievo y de Jessica Fletcher la de Se ha escrito un crimen. Sean Connery en el papel de Fray Guillermo de Baskerville, el franciscano metomentodo que se leía hasta los prospectos del Frenadol. Christian Slater en el papel del novicio Adso de Melk, pupilo de Guillermo de Baskerville del que lo aprende todo menos lo del misionero, que eso se lo enseña una muchacha de muy buen ver. Y F Murray Abraham haciendo otra vez de malo, como ya hiciera dos años antes en Amadeus. En este caso encarnando al inquisidor Bernardo de Güi, más malo que comerse una olla de menudo de madrugada. El reparto lo completa una pléyade de estrellas europeas y americanas como Ron Perlman como el jorobado hierético Salvattore, todos ellos magníficamente dirigidos por el realizador francés Jean Jacques que dirigiría posteriormente conocidos filmes como Siete años en el Tibet o Enemigo a las puertas.

Dental support organizations (DSOs) have rapidly expanded within the last few years, and their steady growth is expected to continue. In this episode, Dino interviews the President of The Association of Dental Support Organizations (ADSO), Emmet Scott. They talk about the benefits of DSOs, the role they play in your practice and how they can help you scale your practice while still retaining your individuality and freedom. Emmet Scott is CEO and co-founder of National Dental Partners (NDP), and it's premiere practice, Smile Magic Family Dental, and host of the number one DSO Podcast, DSO Secrets ™. Though not a dentist, he is a true dental industry disrupter and is passionate about using his business expertise, innovative strategies to create a fantastic experience for patients, teams, and doctors and share that knowledge and experience with others. This passion and the business acumen that backs it up is, in part, what led to his being elected president of the Association of Dental Support Organizations (ADSO) in the summer of 2020. Emmet's work in the dental industry began with Smile Magic Dentistry and Braces, which he co-founded in 2010 with Dr. E. Chad Evans, who also happens to be his best friend since early childhood. What began as an idea and dream to do dentistry differently while also serving underserved populations grew into Smile Magic Dentistry. The practices deliver a Disney-like experience to the families they serve, complete with a storybook theme, gold coins, a movie theatre, and lobby play gym. NDP now supports their Smile Magic brand and over 60 other dental practices and continues to expand regularly. In 2019, Emmet launched Community Dental Partners, now National Dental Partners, a dental support organization allowing other dental practices to use his platform and experience to build their own best version of a patient, team, and doctor experience. In 2020 Emmet assumed his role as ADSO president to support dentists and their practices further and help lead them into a new dentistry era. Emmet hosts a podcast called DSO Secrets; a podcast focused on the ins and outs of the group dental industry that he serves. A serial entrepreneur and innovative leader, Emmet prides himself on his ability to help people and industries find the best (practices, systems, operations) with themselves and leverage them for success on their terms. Before his work in the dental industry, Emmet built and sold two financial planning firms, launched his radio show from Las Vegas called “The Entrepreneur Life,” and established a consulting firm branded “Entrepreneur Advisors.” Emmet lives in Texas with his wife and five children, all redheads. When not working, he enjoys reading business and leadership books, watching TED talks, and playing racquetball. He is fluent in American Sign Language and worked with deaf students in California and Arizona as part of a two-year church missionary program. He graduated from Brigham Young University in accounting. REFERENCE: The Goal by Eliyahu M.

Deja también tus pecados digitales y tus comentarios en: https://www.seomental.com/episodio-4:-por-sendas-misteriosas/ En este cuarto episodio me centro en el tema del misterio y el suspense con mi selección habitual de joyitas: Libro: El Nombre de la Rosa de Umberto Eco Película: Lo que la verdad esconde de Robert Zemeckis Tema musical: Homeward Bound (versión de The Leftovers) Serie: The Leftovers Vídeojuego: Everybody's gone to the rapture Herramienta Digital: Zapier Profesional Digital: Sergio Simarro Pecador Digital Invitado: David Ayala El enlace que os comento a la campaña de ayuda para empresas afectadas por el Covid que necesiten potenciar su canal digital es este https://webpositer.typeform.com/to/mfl1Nf Dentro transcripción completa: EPISODIO 4: POR SENDAS MISTERIOSAS Bienvenido, bienvenida, a una edición más de Los 7 Pecados Digitales by SEOmental. Hoy es cuarto episodio. Sigo en racha, cumpliendo con lo que os he prometido, que es traeros cada domingo mi selección personal de recomendaciones frikulturales y de Marketing Digital. Esto es, pues, un libro, una peli, una serie, un tema musical, un videojuego y luego también una herramienta digital que use en mi día a día y un perfil profesional que me haya influenciado positivamente. Todo eso combinado, también con vuestra voz de pecadores digitales (que sabéis que estáis invitados siempre a dejarme vuestros audios o vuestros comentarios en el blog para que yo vaya incluyendo aquí). Hoy tenemos a dos invitados especiales, que os presentaré cuando llegue el momento, y tenemos un programa que viene marcado por el misterio. Las sendas misteriosas, lo he titulado, y hoy todas las recomendaciones van a tener, digamos, ese componente enigmático de suspense, de thriller y de un marcado misterio. El parte de guerra de esta semana en la empresa es que seguimos al pie del cañón, estamos recibiendo mucho feedback positivo de la iniciativa solidaria que lanzamos para ayudar. Todos los días ayudamos con 4 consultorías gratuitas a empresas impactadas por la crisis del coronavirus. La verdad es que saber que estás poniendo tu granito de arena es una recompensa grande, sobre todo cuando ves el agradecimiento de la otra parte. Vamos a seguir manteniendo estas ayudas. Os dejaré el enlace por si conocéis a alguien que le pueda servir esa experiencia que tenemos nosotros en SEO, en Marketing Digital. Sin más, espero dentro del episodio con esto 7 pecados digitales. Vamos allá. [Voz de mujer] Los 7 Pecados Digitales by SEOmental. [Suena diálogo de película] - Maestro, ¿habéis estado alguna vez enamorado? - ¿Enamorado? ¡Muchas veces! - ¿De veras? - Naturalmente. De Aristóteles, Ovidio, Virgilio, Tomás de Aquino. - No, quiero decir de una... - ¡Ah! ¿No estarás confundiendo amor con lujuria? - Tal vez. Bueno, abrimos los 7 pecados digitales con el primero, que es siempre el libro. No sé si, o bien por los segundos que te he dejado una escena de la película o bien por esta maravillosa banda sonora, que suena de fondo te suena ya de qué libro estamos hablando. Se trata de "El nombre de la rosa", de Umberto Eco, todo un clásico moderno porque fue estrenado (lo que pasa es que lleva toda la vida con nosotros) en 1980, publicado, y causó una repercusión muy grande. Era el primer libro del autor, de Umberto Eco, y a todo el mundo le pilló por sorpresa. [Suena banda sonora] El libro rebosa misterio por todos los lados. Seguro que recordáis al personaje de la película (en este caso, que parece que es lo que viene a la mente cuando evocamos el libro), el personaje de Sean Connery que hace de Guillermo de Baskerville, y su pupilo Adso. En fin, es toda una película del típico rol de maestro con pupilo. A través de los ojos del pupilo vamos descubriendo cómo funciona una abadía de esa época medieval que se retrata en la película. Todo es muy oscuro, todo es muy sombrío. La novela te atrapa desde el primer momento y te machaca con unas referencias históricas, físico-políticas de la época que le da una profundidad muy grande. A lo largo de todo el libro vamos a ir desvelando ese misterio de los crímenes que se están cometiendo en esa abadía, y conforme tiramos del hilo estamos más enganchados. Es el típico misterio como un ovillo de lana, que se va desmadejando poco a poco: vamos tirando del hilo hasta que llegamos a lo que está en el centro del ovillo (o en este caso, en el centro de la rosa). Algunos dicen que el título de "El nombre de la rosa" es porque la rosa, en su infinidad de pétalos y tal, nos puede representar ese laberinto que también se retrata en la película. Por si alguno no ha visto la peli o no ha leído el libro, no voy a decir más. Solo que, bueno, es un libro muy recomendable que sin duda te va a atrapar, y con el cual vas a aprender. [Voz de mujer] Los 7 Pecados Digitales by SEOmental. [Suena diálogo de película en inglés] Bueno, Qué será esta película tan trepidante, por el tráiler. No lo he podido conseguir en español, no lo he encontrado: las pelis antiguas rara vez se dejan conseguir en versiones dobladas; pero, bueno, tampoco es tan antigua esta peli. Al sonar estos acordes fantasmagóricos, es el mago Alan Silvestri, uno de los mejores compositores de banda sonora que tenemos, y suele acompañar a su director favorito: al director de esta película que es Robert Zemeckis, y la película "Lo que la verdad esconde". "Lo que la verdad esconde" se estrenó en el año 2000. Digo, Robert Zemeckis les tiene que sonar, por lo menos, de "Regreso al futuro" o de "Forrest Gump": es un auténtico artesano haciendo películas, un contador de historias nato. A mí personalmente me encanta. Esta película, si bien es cierto que pasó sin pena ni gloria por el circuito comercial, la crítica tampoco la recibió muy apasionadamente; pero yo tengo que romper una lanza por ella hoy aquí. He de confesaros que a mí me encantó porque tiene un aura de misterio y un montón de homenajes y de guiños a los maestros del thriller y del suspense de toda la vida, entre ellos Alfred Hitchcock. Bueno, pero ¿cuál es el argumento de la peli? Pues, nada, una parejita madura que vive retirada en una maravillosa casa de estas de campo de gente de pasta americana. La parejita está interpretada por Harrison Ford y Michelle Pfeiffer , los dos muy buenos. Ver a Michelle Pfeiffer en una película ya para mí es garantía de que va a salir algo bueno de ahí. Me encanta Michelle. ¿Qué pasa? Que obviamente las primeras escenas idílicas que nos presentan poco a poco (o más bien pronto que tarde) empiezan a tornarse en un relato de misterio, de una chica desaparecida, de un vecino sospechosamente agresivo y violento. A partir de ahí empiezan a suceder escenas del tipo que nos recuerdan perfectamente a "La ventana indiscreta", por ejemplo, de Alfred Hitchcock, con unos niveles de tensión que llegan a ser inimaginables. Pero cuando te esperas una cosa de la peli (que es que sea una peli de suspense, thriller y tal), de repente se torna en otra cosa y es una historia de fantasmas también. Además, muy bien contada. Ya os digo, con esta banda sonora de Alan Silvestre que le pega muchísimo, y con Robert Zemeckis muy inspirado para meternos esos "jumps scares", esos sustos muy bien colocados y muy bien hilados dentro de la peli. Cabe recalcar que entre los múltiples homenajes obviamente los detractores te dirán "no, esto lo ha copiado, lo ha copiado", no, no son copias: Robert Zemeckis no necesita copiar a nadie, está claro, yo lo entiendo como homenajes. Ahí, en esta peli que os digo que se estrenó en el 2000 pues hay homenajes a, por supuesto, "Al final de la escalera" (que ya la vimos aquí en el primer volumen de Maestros Del Terror). La escena de la bañera de "Al final de la escalera" aquí tiene su propia versión también. Por supuesto, como una buena peli de suspense y de thriller que se aprecie, tiene el típico súper twist, el giro inesperado al final (que no os voy a destrozar). Ya os digo que es una muy buena peli para ver ahora, una tarde lluviosa de domingo. Ya me comentaréis luego qué os ha parecido a vosotros. Aquí la dejo: "Lo que la verdad esconde" de Robert Zemeckis. Que la disfrutéis. [Suena banda sonora] [Voz de mujer] Los 7 Pecados Digitales by SEOmental. Hoy os traigo una serie muy especial. No es la primera vez que la nombramos aquí, en el podcast, ya la trajo mi gran compañero y amigo Víctor Campuzano como su pecado digital confesable. Es una serie que él ya decía que le había marcado y se declaraba fan incondicional de ella. Yo os tengo que decir que es una de las series que sin duda ha marcado mi vida. "The Leftovers", la traducción al español sería "los restos", "las sobras", "la amorraría", "los que se quedan atrás. ¿Por qué este título? Bueno, el argumento es muy sencillo, a la vez que terrorífico: de repente, un día desaparece el 2% de la población. O sea, pero así tal cual, quiero decir: se desvanecen, no están. Lo que parece un argumento de ciencia ficción o paranormal, pronto se torna en el drama humano que supone sobrellevar esa pérdida para ese 98% de la población que sí está aquí y que de repente se encuentra que no se ha podido despedir de ningún ser querido, no tienen absolutamente ni idea de dónde están y, claro, son incapaces de retomar su vida. La serie está cuajada de auténticos momentazos, sobre todo orquestados por la pareja protagonista que es Justin Theroux y Carrie Coon , están asombrosos los dos (de verdad, increíbles). La serie se compone, digamos, de tres temporadas que son como tres actos, muy distintos los unos de los otros. En el primer acto, vamos a ver esas primeras consecuencias justo unos pocos años después de haber sufrido esta desesperación mundial, y se centra también en una secta que se llama "el remanente culpable". No quiero destripar mucho del argumento, porque de verdad que os recomiendo que veáis esta serie si no sabéis qué coger para ver; pero se explora una manera tan realista la novela de Tom Perrotta (que es la novela sobre la que está basada la serie). Se explora de una manera tan realista lo que serían las consecuencias para la humanidad de una pérdida de esas proporciones, de proporciones bíblicas. De hecho, esta suite de fondo que estáis escuchando del maravilloso Max Richter se llama "the departure", "la partida", que es la manera que tiene la Biblia de llamar a ese momento en el que supuestamente los justos son llevados de la tierra; pero no os creáis que la serie se va a mover en esas latitudes religiosas todo el tiempo. Para nada, está jugando constantemente con nosotros como espectadores. Bueno, no en vano es de Lindelof, del creador de "Perdidos", para que os hagáis una idea de quién es el surround que está detrás de esta serie. Entonces, vamos a estar siempre jugando con lo que son las explicaciones racionales, las científicas y las exotéricas. Está tan bien cogido el guión y tan bien contada la historia que cualquiera de ellas, a la que tú te quieras agarrar como espectador, le das credibilidad y sigues, y sigues y te la crees. Tu versión siempre te la vas a creer. Entonces, está muy bien que hayan dejado esa elección al espectador te no se casan ellos mismos con ninguna explicación coherente. No os preocupéis, la serie sí que tiene su final (además, es un final maravillosos, desde mi punto de vista). A mí me dejó muy tocado, no sé cuántas veces lo he visto. A mí la serie me la recomendó mi hermana Miriam (a la que mando un súper abrazo desde aquí; ya te invitaré, como pecadora digital, también a ti). Bueno, ya os digo, esos tres actos (esas tres temporadas) se hacen muy cortas viendo la calidad del episodio, el mimo que hay puesto, las dobles interpretaciones, el drama, también momentos hilarantes, momentos de ciencia ficción (si quieres optar por esa vía o momentos de catarsis religiosa o filosófica que realmente tocan el alma. Al final, sin anticiparos nada, ya os sigo que para mí lo que queda es una historia de amor. O sea, es un pedazo de historia de amor esta serie, lo que pasa es que tienes que tener la paciencia y las agallas de llegar hasta el final y de pasar, a lo mejor, el primer bache que te puede suponer el primer episodio (porque piensas que es una cosa). La serie pronto se va quitando capas, como una cebolla, y te va enseñando lo que lleva adentro. Espero haberte convencido de que tienes que ver The Leftovers. Ha sido una gran olvidada en premios por todos lados, no ha salido en ningún ranking; pero ya os digo yo que merece mucho la pena. Además, hoy aprovecho para hacer otro combo. En este caso, el combo va a ser el de la serie (The Leftovers) y el del tema musical, que bien podía haber sido este de "the departure" que es una por debajo, de Max Richter, pero os traigo otra canción que a muchos os va a sonar. A ver qué os parece. [Suena música] Pues sí, son Simon & Garfunkelm el título de la canción "Homeward Bound" ("volviendo a casa", "rumbo a casa" o "de camino a casa") y esta es la versión interpretada por el protagonista de la serie, es Kevin Garvey que lo interpreta Justin Theroux (como os decía antes) de una manera magistral. En este, que es uno de los mejores episodio de las 3 temporadas, que se llama "asesino internacional", este episodio. Bueno, no puedo develar mucho, pero simplemente deciros que para salir de una situación Kevin tiene que subirse a un karaoke y de una manera muy bizarra elegir una canción, con una ruleta le sale esta canción de Simon & Garfunkelm y le toca cantarla de esta manera tan apasionada que veis aquí. [Suena música] Como podéis ver, el personaje está bastante afectado cantándola y ya os digo que vosotros, cuando la veáis, no podréis evitar también compungiros al escucharla, porque tiene un significado muy grande esta canción. O sea, los maestros Simon & Garfunkelm que son clásicos básicos todos sus temas, y es tan concreto que habla de esa necesaria vuelta al hogar, a la tranquilidad, a lo conocido, al amor que te espera o no te espera cuando vuelvas. Bueno, cuando veáis cómo encaja esta letra de esta canción con el argumento de la serie, os hará click algo en el cerebro (como a mí) y se convertirá automáticamente en una de esas canciones de referencia que cíclicamente está en mi playlist. Bueno, si quieres escuchar la versión original de Simon & Garfunkelm, pues ya sabes, busca "Homeward Bound" y disfrútala. Ya sabes, toca ver "The Leftovers". [Voz de mujer] Los 7 Pecados Digitales by SEOmental. Bueno, llega el momento de vosotros, de los pecadores digitales invitados. Ya sabéis que todos podéis, cualquiera tiene voz en este programa, solo tiene que mandarme un mensaje de audio a través del perfil de anchor.fm/seomental o a través del blog directamente de seomental.com, o directamente por Twitter si queréis también @seomental. Ya sabéis que el hashtag oficial del programa es #pecadores digitales. De esta manera me hizo llegar su pecado digital confesable el otro día David Ayala. David Ayala es uno de los SEO también más reconocibles de nuestro país, más conocido como SEOrosa. Es un tío muy majo, muy simpático y yo tuve la oportunidad de conocerlo en un SEO plus (en uno de los eventos que organizamos en Alicante sobre SEO). Bueno, pues, el tío derrocha creatividad por todos los lados, está en todo lo de SEO, tiene cursos de formación, tiene herramientas, tiene agencia y tiene un pecado digital confesable que compartir con vosotros. [Habla David Ayala] Mi nombre es David Ayala, también conocido como SEOrosa, y mi pecado digital es la serie Dragon Ball. Sí, una serie de dibujos, tengo que decir que soy así de frikie. Me encantan los dibujos animados, el manga, el anime. Me ha encantado siempre, desde pequeño, me siguen encantando y lo sigo viendo. Eso ha hecho mantener en mí el niño pequeño interior vivo, seguir siendo así de frikie como he sido desde el principio, ser yo y qué leches tener la casa llena de monigotes y de todo tipo de figuras de Dragon Ball y de un montón de series. Con lo cual, recomiendo que veas esta serie (si no la has visto). Yo la he vuelto a ver otra vez de nuevo. La he visto entera, desde el capítulo uno hasta el final, y tengo que decir que me encantó de pequeño, me encanta ahora y me seguirá encantado. Y bueno, ¡kame hame ja! [Voz de mujer] Los 7 Pecados Digitales by SEOmental. [Suena diálogo] Soy la doctora Katherine Collins. No sé si alguien escuchará esto. Todo acabó. Soy la única que queda viva. [Suena música] Con esta sugerente intro se nos presenta el video juego de hoy. Se trata de "Everybody’s gone to the rapture" de The Chinese Room. Pedazo de videojuego (claro, cómo si no; sino no os lo traería, sino lo considerase una joyita, una pequeña obra maestra de un estudio independiente). Es uno de esos llamado walking simulators. De hecho, ellos son los creadores de Dear Esther (que es otro pedazo de juego que seguramente también os traeré) y, a los que les guste los de terror, son los creadores de Amnesia: A Machine for Pigs, la segunda parte del terrorífico juego en primera persona. Esto es, pues sí, abismal, narrada al ritmo de ciencia ficción. Bueno, el nombre del título se podría traducir como "todo el mundo ha sido arrebatado", "todo el mundo se ha marchado por el arrebato, por el éxtasis". Vuelve a hacer referencia a eso que os comentaba antes en la serie de "The Leftovers", esa marcha Bíblica de los inocentes (juegan un poco con eso en el nombre). En este caso, llegas a investigar unas extrañas desapariciones en un pueblo, en un pueblo de la campiña británica que está recreado de una manera magistral a través de los gráficos, de las luces, de la sombra, con el motor del CryEngine, que sabéis que es uno de los motores gráficos más potente que hay, y realmente costaba moverlo. Yo me acuerdo cuando lo jugué, me costó un poco de configuración empezar a jugarlo, digamos, de manera fluida; pero una vez superada la barrera técnica, todo era cuesta abajo. El argumento es el típico en estos llamados walking simulators. Aunque a mí no me gusta llamarlos así, porque es mucho más la experiencia que un simulador de paseo. Lo que pasa es que, aparte de andar por escenarios gigantescos e interactuar de 2-3 maneras muy puntuales, no es un juego de disparos ni de mecánicas complicadas; es más bien de investigación, de recrearse en los rincones que vas a ir viendo por ahí. ¿Y qué ha pasado en este pueblo? Pues eso, que empezaron hace un par de semanas una serie de desapariciones inexplicables también, la gente se desvanecía sin dejar rastro, y cuando tú llegas allí te encuentras ya un panorama distópico - apocalíptico (típico pueblo, con la ropa por el suelo, con las mesas puestas de gente que parece que ha sido arrebatada de golpe, sin darse cuenta ellos apenas). Además, todo parece que está conectado con un observatorio astrológico que hay en el pueblo, y en el cual (por lo visto) captaron algún tipo de señal, o de onda, o de patrón (como se llama en el juego) proveniente de, tal vez, una inteligencia artificial o tal vez de extraterrestres. Tú ya te lo tomas como quieras. El tema es que el episodio de hoy de los 7 pecados digitales va de misterio, y esto es un auténtico misterio a desvelar en el videojuego. Tienes que ir investigando diferentes localizaciones en el pueblo y, a través de ese pulso de una luz que va circulando por el pueblo y que de alguna manera te va guiando, pues desbloqueas ciertos diálogos de escenas acaecidas allí, de lo que estaba haciendo la gente justo antes de marcharse. Es como si accedieses a un baúl de recuerdos. Esto es algo muy recurrente en este tipo de juegos, para ir destripándote la historia poquito a poquito, y la vas conociendo sin narradores (o sea, los narradores son los que lo vivieron en primera persona, justo antes de que tú pasases por allí). Todo el arco argumental se divide en 6-7 piezas que son los arcos de diferentes personajes y la historia que les ocurrió a ellos en el pueblo, antes de que tú llegases. Entonces, pues vas a descubrir cómo acabaron ellos, desapareciendo o marchándose a través de este arrebato (que ya lo conocerás cuando llegues al final del juego, que tampoco tiene desperdicio). Tiene momentos también muy íntimos. La música, la banda sonora que está sonando es de Jessica Curry, que es una maravillosa compositora, muy acostumbrada a poner sus notas a este tipo de videojuegos. Solo la banda sonora merece la pena, no tiene desperdicio, la tenéis en buscar a Jessica Curry en Spotify y fliparéis de las bandas sonoras que tiene, lo evocadoras y lo nostálgicas que son. Realmente, te dan ganas de perderte dentro. No olvides que en el hilo conductor, aparte del drama personal que también vas a ir descubriendo, el hilo conductor es ciencia ficción (muchos guiños a los que nos gustan estos temas). Escucharás por las diferentes emisoras de radio que hay repartidas por el pueblo las típicas emisiones de números (que son algo muy recurrente a los que os justa el tema del misterio y tal), las emisiones de números aleatorios que algunos relacionan con códigos de lanzamiento, con el código del hombre muerto ruso. Bueno, algún día entraremos en esas lindes. Sin más, os recomiendo encarecidamente que lo probéis. "Everybody’s gone to the rapture", es cortito, son solo unas pocas horas y las vais a disfrutar de lo lindo. [Voz de mujer] Los 7 Pecados Digitales by SEOmental. Bueno, vamos con la herramienta digital recomendada de hoy que, como el programa va de misterio, os voy a enseñar una que para mí en su momento era muy misteriosa y que ahora, prácticamente, la percibo como magia porque es una herramienta de automatización. Se llama Zapier. Como muchas de las herramientas y de las técnicas que he aprendido en mi vida, esta herramienta me la descubrió también Víctor Campuzano (ya es la segunda vez que lo menciono hoy en el programa) porque él está acostumbrado a automatizar de todo. Ya había probado herramientas como Ifttt, que es algo parecido a la mecánica de Zapier. Básicamente, Zapier lo que hace es conectar múltiples herramientas y crear automatizaciones. Por ejemplo, yo tengo varias automatizaciones en plan "cuando se actualice un post de Facebook en el muro de la empresa de Webpositer me mandas un mensaje a este canal para que la gente lo vea y lo comparta". Fijaos qué automatización más práctica. Tengo otra muy útil que es para gestionar el correo electrónico, porque al final el correo electrónico cuando lo estás leyendo, como no lo gestiones en el mismo momento tiende a acumularse y tiende a dejar ahí "bueno, lo dejo marcado sin leer y ya volveré a él", seguro que os ha pasado esto alguna vez. Yo lo tengo configurado con una automatización que es tan sencilla como "cada vez que yo marco en gmail un correo como favorito (es decir, que le pongo la estrellita), entonces automáticamente me cree una tarea en Asana dentro de una categoría específica y ya lo tengo como tarea. Es decir, ese correo no simplemente ha sido leído y despachado, sino que se ha convertido en una tarea dentro de mi workflow y es la única manera de que no se me pierdan cosas. Fijaos. Esto es solo uno de las múltiples posibilidades. O sea, puedes conectarle, ya os digo, un formulario de Google Form y cada vez que alguien complete una respuesta que te actualice tan fila en un documento en la nube y tú eso ya lo tienes conectado con un data estudio y ¡gualá!, automatizaciones así de potentes y de maravillosas. Tienes un plan gratuito con el cual vas a poder probar todas estas capacidades asombrosas que te digo. Ya sea para compartir cosas de manera automática en redes sociales o para darte un plus de productividad. De verdad que zapier.com, te recomiendo que le eches un vistazo y lo pongas a prueba. Ahí queda la herramienta recomendada de hoy. [Voz de mujer] Los 7 Pecados Digitales by SEOmental. Bueno, vamos a la última parte de los 7 pecados digitales de hoy. Es el profesional digital invitado. Además, me da mucho respeto presentarlo, por dos razones. Primero, porque efectivamente lo respeto un montón y he aprendido mucho de él y como os digo siempre al principio de cada programa, me ha influenciado profesionalmente para él. Segundo, porque la sintonía que le he puesto de fondo pertenece al cierre de uno de mis programas queridos de la radio de todos los tiempos (no lo voy a decir, porque justo es su pecado digital confesable, así que voy a dejar que sea él mismo quien nos lo explique). ¿Quién es Sergio Simarro? Pues Sergio Simarro es un especialista en SEO internacional que trabaja para multitud de empresas grandes, de las que salen por la tele. Tiene una experiencia brutal, y encima tiene una manera de comunicar como profesor, como formador in company que colabora con nosotros, como director de nuestro Master CRO en Webpositer Academy. Entonces, es una persona que está siempre llena de ideas y, sobre todo, llena de soluciones para ponerlas en marcha (que es algo que se suele echar de menos). Mucha gente hay siempre para aportar ideas, pero para ser capaces de ponerlas en marcha hay que estar hecho de otra pasta. La idea por sí no vale nada si no hay alguien que sea capaz de ponerle una hoja de ruta y bajarla a tierra. En eso Sergio es un auténtico especialista. Además, es ministro SEO porque forma parte del Ministerio SEO formado por Iñaki Huerta (mi tocayo), por M. J. Cachoni y por Luis Villanueva (que ya lo habéis tenido aquí en este programa). Ellos 4 tienen un programa en YouTube en el cual suelen comentarte sobre SEO, resolver dudas. Además, Sergio tiene también una Newsletter muy especial sobre temas de CRO que si te gusta te la dejo en un enlace, para que le eches un vistazo. Sin más, te dejo con el pecado digital confesable de Sergio y una sorpresita final que nos deja. [Habla Sergio Simarro] Hola, pecadoras y pecadores digitales. Primero, gracias Iñaki por haberme invitado a tu espacio. Mi nombre es Sergio Simarro, nacido en 1977 y actualmente viviendo en Cepellón, provincia de Alicante. Os voy a contar las tres formas en las que me gano la vida desde hace más o menos unos 20 años. Primero, trabajo como consultor ayudando a empresas a organizar y rentabilizar sus equipos de marketing digital. Segundo, imparto formación en universidades y escuelas de negocio. Ligado a esto, soy el directo de exitoso máster CRO en Webpositer, donde hemos conseguido ser el primer máster CRO de habla hispana y en porción online. Por último doy charlas en congresos y eventos. Realmente, lo que más me apasiona de mi trabajo es aplicar orden y sentido común en empresas que se quieran sentir 100% digitales. Para ello, he desarrollado una metodología propia, llamada Star, que lo que combina son conocimiento, recursos disponibles, time to market, y la implicación por parte de dirección general. A nivel personal, me apasiona el mundo de los animales, particularmente el mundo de los perros y la naturaleza. Tengo 2 perros y para mí es muy habitual mantener video conferencias o llamadas con los clientes mientras estoy en la montaña paseando con ellos. Ahora te voy a confesar mi pecado digital: cada noche me duermo escuchando Iker Jiménez y Carmen Porter en su podcast de cuarto milenio. Para ir acabando te voy a dejar un chiste. Estos son 2 caballos que se van de safari a Kenia y están por la mañana desayunando, y le dice uno al otro "oye, anoche te vi con una muchacha muy interesante, ¿y qué tal? Muy bonita, muy graciosa parecía, era de piel rayada", "si se deja, deja. Yo paso de cebra" Si me queréis encontrar, mi Twitter es @akemola y ahí tengo un Tweet fijado con enlace a mis redes sociales (LinkedIn, Instagram y sobre todo una Newsletter gratuita que envío con contenido muy interesante sobre CRO). Un abrazo fuerte y te deseo lo mejor. [Voz de mujer] Los 7 Pecados Digitales by SEOmental. Bueno, pecadores, pecadoras, se acaba este glorioso día, se acaba este episodio. Te agradezco un montón que hayas compartido tu tiempo conmigo este ratito, que hayas puesto oído a mis recomendaciones, a mis reseñas frikulturales y de marketing digital. De verdad, espero que te haya sido útil alguna y que lo veas, que juegues a ese juego, que escuches esa canción entera, que leas ese libro, que veas esa peli, que sigas a este profesional o al pecador digital invitado. O sea, te he propuesto 7-8 planes frikulturales y de marketing digital. Si solo sigues uno y te gusta, yo ya soy feliz y ya he cumplido el propósito de este programa. Házmelo saber en los comentarios del blog, en seomental.com Ya sabéis que también tienes voz en este programa, quiero que haya más pecadores digitales aquí conmigo. Así que simplemente tienes que entrar en mi perfil de anchor.fm/semental o directamente en mi blog seomental.com, y ahí puedes dejarme un comentario, pasarme un audio, decírmelo por Twitter (que me tienes como @seomental). Eso sí, usa siempre nuestro hashtag oficial de #pecadoresdigitales. Hoy mando un saludo especial a una de nuestras pecadoras digitales más fan. Ella es Milen, que de hecho me ha dado la idea del autor Umberto Eco para el programa de hoy. Así que muchas gracias, Milen, por estar ahí. Espero que te haya gustado el programa. Lo he dicho, pecadores y pecadoras, en la descripción os voy a dejar el enlace a la campaña solidaria de Webpositer, que os he dicho que estamos llevando a cabo para empresas afectadas por el covid. Estamos regalando consultorías desinteresadamente, solo por echar un cable. Si conocéis a alguien que le pueda venir bien y necesite potenciar el canal digital, pues en mi agencia (en Webpositer) somos especialistas en eso. Nada más. Descansa. Nos vemos en el siguiente programa. Adiós. [Voz de mujer] Los 7 Pecados Digitales by SEOmental. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals
Scenario:Its morning again in America….Wake up America…morning’s overI was asleep before…that’s how we let it happenThere was a crisis…They blamed terrorists and suspended the constitution…we didn’t wake up then eitherNow I’m awake…----------------------------Those aren’t my words. Those are the words from a superbowl ad that ran last yearAn ad for a story that takes place….in an age of rampant pornography, increasing violence against women, declining morals in America, environmental disaster and decay…Until finally the religious right – a group of Christians takes control of the US Government…it becomes a totalitarian theocracy….and bibles are banned and morality is legislated and forced upon all citizens. It’s a series based on Margaret Atwood’s book – The Handmaids Tale.When the leading churches of the United States, uniting upon such points of doctrine as are held by them in common, shall influence the state to enforce their decrees and to sustain their institutions, then Protestant America will have formed an image of the Roman hierarchy, and the infliction of civil penalties upon dissenters will inevitably result.... -= Ellen White– {LDE 131.1}The “image to the beast” represents that form of apostate Protestantism which will be developed when the Protestant churches shall seek the aid of the civil power for the enforcement of their dogmas. The “mark of the beast” still remains to be defined. {GC 445.2}Tale or Truth? The American dream - why is that? Hunted becomes the Hunter – Persecuted becomes the persecutorPersecution of native Americans, of the Japanese, of African Americans I BELIEVE AMERICA….IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY IN HISTORYAmerica’s future ----how we got here. Empires have ruled the world for thousands of years. as providence saw fit they rose and fall and most often their demise was related with the removal of the freedom of conscience.We can see it in Egypt, Babylon, Greece, Rome…then that moment came when the babe in a manger - you know the one we count time by - i.e. BC and AD? So he comes along and inserts a revolutionary idea that man needs no intermediary to connect with Divinity.Paganism - ie nature worship was the dominant force throughout history.Constantine…. and Romecompromise was the solution. He melds religion and government and the seed of the papacy was born. The papacy would rule the world for 1260 years - well that was according to the prophecy anyway—and in 538 we find it roots and in 1798 we find its fruit - the French Revolution. The Papal Empire had built itself off of persecution, legislating morality, limiting freedom of speech and conscience and especially perverting the teaching of Jesus.Ok so what does this have to do with America? One author put it like this - Once people hated God so much because they thought the papacy was what god was like since the leader of the system claimed to be god on earth - eventually people had enough, they had nothing left to lose - so in the streets of France - they lost it. And as men and women were fleeing the persecution and corruption of the old world, they were doing all they could to get to the stores of America. In the last centuries of the dark ages - think about that - we literally label a time when the religious right got in bed with the government… as the dark ages. And to put the cherry on top - the Jesus in the book of revelation literally called the church a harlot for cheating on him with the empire. Then he says in Revelation 13 - Lucifer. Himself gave them his power and throne. So people are fleeing the old world and into the new - for one thing - I want freedom. I want to worship as I want to. I want to work and reap. The fruit of my labor. Was America perfect? No. But the prophecy foretold of that too. Revelation 13 - is where we find the prophecy of America. Two world powers are symbolized in Revelation chapter 13. Before we look at the second we need to understand and identify the first power?This kingdom would claim to be god and claim to have the power to forgive sins – both of the definitions of blasphemy. It would rule the world for 1260 years….In 1798, French General Berthier inflicted a deadly wound upon the papacy when he took the pope captive. Another Nation would arise Next :“I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon” (Revelation 13:11).Prophecy predicted that America would arise from a sparsely settled area.The papal captivity mentioned in verse 10 took place in 1798, and the new power (verse 11) was seen emerging at that time. The United States declared its independence in 1776, voted the Constitution in 1787, adopted the Bill of Rights in 1791, and was clearly recognized as a world power by 1798. The timing obviously fits America. No other power could possibly qualify.4. What is the significance of the beast “coming up out of the earth”? Answer: This nation arises "out of the earth" instead of out of the water as did the other nations mentioned in Daniel and Revelation. We know from Revelation that water symbolizes areas of the world that have a large population. "The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues." Revelation 17:15. Therefore, the earth represents the opposite. It means that this new nation would arise in an area of the world that had been virtually unpopulated before the late 1700s. It could not arise among the crowded and struggling nations of the Old World. It had to come up in a sparsely populated continent. 5. What is symbolized by its two lamb-like horns and absence of crowns? Answer: Horns represent kings and kingdoms or governments (Daniel 7:24; 8:21). In this case, they represent the United States’ two governing principles: civil and religious liberty. These two principles have also been labeled “republicanism” (a government without a king) and “Protestantism” (a church without a pope). Other nations since ancient times had taxed people to support a state religion. Most had also oppressed religious dissidents. But the United States established something entirely new: freedom to worship without government interference. Absence of crowns signifies a republican form of government, rather than a monarchy. Lamb-like horns denote an innocent, young, non-oppressive, peace-loving, and spiritual nation. (Jesus is referred to as a lamb 28 times in Revelation.)6. What does Revelation 13:11 mean when it says the United States will speak “like a dragon”?Characteristics and behavior of a dragon – Revelation 12:9 – Lucifer is the DragonWhat are characteristics of Jesus – the lamb? What is the opposite?Legend of Dragons eating Lambs…7. What specifically will the United States do that will cause it to speak as a dragon? A. “Exercises all the authority of the first beast” (Revelation 13:12) The United States will become a persecuting power that will force people to go against their conscience, as did papal Rome—which is portrayed in the first half of Revelation chapter 13.B. “Causes (forces) the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed” (Revelation 13:12).Signs of the Times May 6, 1897, “FORCE is the LAST result of every FALSE religion.”The United States will lead the nations of the world in forcing allegiance to the papal antichrist. The issue is always worship. Who will you worship and obey? Will it be Christ, your Creator and Redeemer, or antichrist? Every soul on earth will finally worship one or the other. Satan’s approach will appear to be deeply spiritual, and incredible miracles will be seen (Revelation 13:13, 14)—which will deceive billions (Revelation 13:3). Those who refuse to join this movement will be considered divisive, stubborn, radical, and unpatriotic. Jesus labeled Protestant America of the end time a “false prophet” (Revelation 19:20; 20:10),“I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe” (John 14:29).C. “Telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived” (Revelation 13:14). The United States will make an image to the beast by legislating religious practice. It will pass laws requiring worship and force people to either obey them or face death. This action is a copy—or “image”—of the church-state form of government the papacy ruled with at the height of her power during the Middle Ages, when millions were slain for their faith. The United States will combine civil government and apostate Protestantism in a “marriage” that will support the papacy. It will then influence all the nations of the world to follow her example. Thus, the papacy will gain worldwide support.D. “And cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed” (Revelation 13:15). The United States, as head of this international movement, will next influence the nations of the world to impose a death sentence upon all who refuse to worship the beast or his image. Another name for this worldwide coalition is “Babylon the Great.”8. Over what specific issues will force be utilized and the death sentence passed?“He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name” (Revelation 13:15–17).Answer: The final points of contention will be worshiping and obeying the beast and receiving his mark—honoring Sunday as a false holy day versus worshiping and obeying Christ and receiving His mark by honoring the holy seventh-day Sabbath. (For details, see Study Guide 20.) When the issues become clear and people are forced to break the Sabbath or be killed, those who then choose Sunday will be, in essence, worshiping the beast. They will have chosen to obey the word of a creature, a man, instead of the word of their Creator, Jesus Christ. Here is the papacy’s own statement: “The church changed Sabbath to Sunday and all the world bows down and worships upon that day in silent obedience to the mandates of the Catholic Church” (Hartford Weekly Call, February 22, 1884).9. Could a government really control buying and selling?Answer: : During World War II, buying was controlled by requiring ration stamps for such items as sugar, tires, and fuel. Without these stamps, money was worthless. In this computerized age, a similar system would be easy to set up. For instance, unless you agreed to cooperate with the worldwide coalition, your Social Security Number could be entered into a database, showing that you are disqualified to make a purchase. No one knows precisely how all this will come about, but you canbe positive it will happen—because in Revelation 13:16, 17, God says it will.Two Emerging PowersRevelation chapter 13 is clear. Two superpowers will emerge in the end time: the United States of America and the papacy. The United States will support the papacy by leading a drive to force the people of the world to worship the beast power (papacy) and receive his mark or else face death.The next two questions will evaluate the strength of these two superpowers.The papacy is the strongest religio-political power on earth.11. How strong and influential is the United States today?Answer: The United States is regarded as the world’s most powerful military force and the world’s center of influence. Note the following:A. “In the key categories of power, the U.S. will remain dominant for the foreseeable future.” —Ian Bremmer, Time magazine, May 28, 2015B. “What ultimately makes the difference between war and peace ... is not good intentions, or strong words, or a grand coalition. It is the capability, credibility, and global reach of American hard power.” —Senator John McCain, November 15, 2014C. “The United States is and remains the one indispensable nation. That has been true for the century passed and it will be true for the century to come.” —President Barack Obama, May 28, 2014D. France’s then-foreign minister, Hubert Vérdine, told a Paris audience that he defined“the United States as a ‘hyperpower’ ... a country that is dominant or predominant inall categories.” —The New York Times, February 5, 199912. What other factors could help set the stage for a worldwide law to execute those who refuse to violate conscience?The scenes of Matthew 24 – Climate Disasters, Economic Hardship, Moral Decay, Corruption of the Christian ChurchA backlash against terrorism, lawlessness, immorality, permissiveness, injustice, poverty, ineffective political leaders, and many similar woes could easily precipitate a demand for strong, specific laws to be rigidly enforced.13. As world conditions worsen, what will Satan do to deceive the masses?“He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived” (Revelation 13:13, 14).Answer: The United States will experience a counterfeit revival and will insist that religiouslaws be passed to force every person to participate (represented by “an image to the beast” in Revelation 13:14). People will be forced to disregard God’s holy seventh-day Sabbath and worship instead on the beast’s “holy” day—Sunday. Some will comply merely for social or economic reasons. World conditions will become so intolerable that a worldwide “back to God” movement, with all joining in worship and prayer on Sunday, will be presented as the only solution. Satan will deceive the world into believing that they must compromise Bible truth and keep Sunday holy. But in reality, obedience to and worship of the beast will indicate the refusal of most people to enter God’s kingdom. No wonder Jesus makes such an issue in Revelation over worshiping the beast and receiving his mark!14. While interest in the counterfeit revival heightens, what will be happening to the genuine worldwide revival sponsored by God’s end-time people? Answer: The Bible says the entire world will be “illuminated” with glory (Revelation 18:1). Every person on earth will be reached (Mark 16:15) with God’s end-time, three-point message of Revelation 14:6–14. God’s last-day church will grow with amazing speed as millions join God’s people and accept His offer of salvation by grace and faith in Jesus, which transforms them into His obedient servants. Many people and leaders from all countries of the world will refuse to worship the beast nor embrace his false teachings. Instead, they will worship and obey Jesus. They will then receive His holy Sabbath sign, or mark, in their foreheads (Revelation 7:2, 3), thus sealing them for eternity. (See Study Guide 20 for additional information on God’s seal.)Spiraling Growth Infuriates the Counterfeit MovementThis spiraling growth among God’s people will infuriate the counterfeit movement. Its leaders will become fully convinced that those who refuse to cooperate with the worldwide counterfeit revival are the cause of all the world’s woes (Daniel 11:44). They will disqualify them from buying and selling (Revelation 13:16, 17), but the Bible promises that food, water, and protection for God’s people will be sure (Isaiah 33:16; Psalm 34:7).As his crowning miracle, Satan will impersonate Jesus.15. In desperation, the U.S.-led coalition will decide to impose the death sentence on its enemies (Revelation 13:15). What does Revelation 13:13, 14, say its leaders will do to convince people that God is with them?Answer: They will work miracles—so convincing that everyone except God’s faithful end-time people will be persuaded (Matthew 24:24). Utilizing the spirits (fallen angels) of Satan (Revelation 16:13, 14), they will impersonate dead loved ones (Revelation 18:23) and probablyeven pose as Bible prophets and apostles. These lying (John 8:44) demonic spirits will doubtlessclaim that God has sent them to urge all to cooperate.16. How can we be safe from powerful end-time deceptions? Answer: A. Test every teaching by the Bible (2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 17:11; Isaiah 8:20).The Bible says, “The time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service” (John 16:2).4. As we study the prophecies of Daniel and Revelation, it seems apparent that the real enemy is always the devil. Is this true?Absolutely! Satan is always the real enemy. Satan works through earth’s leaders and nationsto hurt God’s people and thus bring heartache to Jesus and the Father. Satan is the one responsible for all evil. Let’s blame him and be careful how we judge people or organizations who hurt God’s people and church. They are sometimes totally unaware that they are harming anyone. But that is never true of Satan. He is always fully aware. He hurts God and His people intentionally.In its prophecies, the term beast is a symbol for a mighty nation. The proof is in Daniel 7, a chapter that parallels Revelation 13. Both Daniel 7 and Revelation 13 refer to beasts, ten horns, a boastful mouth speaking pompous words, and intense warfare against God’s people (compare Daniel 7:3-8, 21 with Revelation 13:1-7). Specifically, Daniel 7 describes four great beasts: a lion, a bear, a leopard, and a dragon-like creature. Embedded in the same chapter, an angelic interpreter confirmed: “The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom on earth” (Daniel 7:23).So, we can nail this down: According to Daniel 7—which parallels Revelation 13—a beast in Bible prophecy isn’t a computer or super-evil person, but a mighty kingdom or nation. That’s what the angel said. Historically, 98% of reputable Christian Bible commentaries have interpreted Daniel’s four beasts to represent the ancient nations of Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome. This is a fact.Out of the EarthBut there’s more. Revelation 13:11 continues: “I saw another beast coming up out of the earth.” Thus, John saw a great nation rising into power. From where? “Out of the earth,” the prophet predicted. By way of contrast, all four of the beasts in Daniel 7 “came up from the sea” (Daniel 7:3). What does “water” represent? Again, prophecy pinpoints a clear answer: multitudes of people. We know this because in a parallel prophecy another angel confirmed: “The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples, multitudes, nations and tongues”(Revelation 17:15, italics added).True to the facts of history, ancient Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome all arose from the midst of a sea of peoples in Europe and the Middle East. Not so with the beast in Revelation 13:11. It comes from the earth. Thus, Revelation 13:11 points to a great nation rising out of a sparsely inhabited area.Like a Lamb“I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb.” (Revelation 13:11). Each word is significant. The true Lamb of God is Jesus Christ who offered His life as a sacrifice for the sins of the world (see John 1:29; 3:16). “Like a lamb” indicates that this nation would have lamblike or Christian features. A lamb is a young animal, a baby sheep. This nation would at one time be youthful and new. Significantly, its “two horns” have no crowns like the first beast described in Revelation 13:2. Crowns represent kingly power. So, in Revelation 13:11 we see a new nation, with gentle, lamblike, Christian features, rising out of a sparsely inhabited area. It is led by a crown-less government, not ruled by kings.Are the pieces coming together yet?SuperpowerHere’s the shocker: Revelation 13 also reveals that this mysterious beast with two horns like a lamb would achieve superpower status near the end of time. Then it would degenerate and, during earth’s closing moments, lead out in the global enforcement of the mark of the beast. God’s Word reports: “He [the lamblike beast] causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark” (Revelation 13:16,17).These ominous verses parallel the last part of Revelation 13:11 which describes the final, tragic act of the lamblike beast: he “spoke like a dragon.” Let’s examine it closely. The beast “causes” all to have a mark—it compels or resorts to force. “All” emphasizes its global influence. Finally, the beast’s control of buying and selling clearly indicates that the world’s economy is involved.Putting the Pieces TogetherLet’s put all the pieces together:Revelation 13:11 pinpoints the rising of a great beast.In prophecy, a beast represents a great nation.This nation rises out of the earth, or wilderness area.This nation starts out young, like a baby lamb.This nation has lamblike, Christian characteristics.This nation has horns with no crowns—it has no kings.This nation achieves superpower status near the close of time.This nation influences the world’s economy.This nation finally speaks like a dragon.This nation finally enforces the mark of the beast.Be honest: How many nations on Planet Earth today fit all ten of these clear, unquestionable, Heaven-inspired details?Only one. ——————————

Emmet hosts the ADSO’s Bradley Rightnowar to discuss the importance of understanding how laws and upcoming bills impact the DSO and dental industry and why dentist-entrepreneurs and DSO leaders need to get and stay educated about them. Emmet and Bradley discuss the role of the ADSO: to lobby for, against or to add input into bills and policies at the federal and state level that can affect both patients and businesses. They use California Senate Bill 977 as a case study and how its implications can trickle into other states. They also discuss legislation regarding PPE, insurance and more.

In this episode, guest host Ken Kaufman interviews the new ADSO President Emmet Scott. They discuss his vision for the ADSO for his 3 year tenure — the 5 principles to revolutionize the DSO industry: aligning the industry, increasing patient access and care; team/clinician support; integrating dentistry’s role in healthcare/oral systemic link in health; and keeping a future-focused customer-oriented mindset.
This episode is a discussion of the HHS Funds expansion. On July 10th, HHS announced that this portal and the application process are open to dentists who have not previously been eligible to receive funding through the Provider Relief Fund. This decision will provide the necessary funding for dental practices to continue to rebound across the country. The Association of Dental Support Organizations (ADSO) has been instrumental in making this happen. To discuss the history, benefits and how to apply, Emmet is joined by ADSO’s Executive Director Christopher Badgley; Preston Marchant, Director of Revenue Accounting, National Dental Partners; Benjamin Mezer, Chief Compliance Officer, Hero Practice Services; and Ken Kaufman CFO, National Dental Partners.
Shawnna Sumaoang: Hi, and welcome to the Sales Enablement PRO podcast. I’m Shawnna Sumaoang. Sales enablement is a constantly evolving space, and we’re here to help professionals stay up to date on the latest trends and best practices so they can be more effective in their jobs. Today, I’m excited to have Amanda from Revenue River join us. Amanda, I would love for you to introduce yourself, your role, and your organization to our audience. Amanda Daume: Great, thanks Shawnna. I’m Amanda Daume, I head up the sales enablement team here at Revenue River. As an agency, we partner with clients across all kinds of verticals and at various stages of maturity to help them compete and win in the digital space. That means we cover everything from digital marketing and websites to eCommerce stores and sales systems. My team in particular is focused on aligning our clients’ people, processes, and tools to their buyers’ journeys. SS: Fantastic. Well, Amanda, as you and I were just talking about, I’m super excited to have you here, given all of your experience building a sales enablement function from the ground up. I’d love for you to give some advice to our audience on where they should start when looking to do the same within their organization. AD: Of course. It can seem incredibly daunting at first, and I think there are a lot of folks that are already fulfilling some sort of sales enablement responsibility in a really informal capacity. I think finding those opportunities to dig in and help other team members in that capacity and sort of tracking or logging your experience along the way so that you can build that case down the road is a great place to start. SS: Absolutely. Now you mentioned building the case. What were some of the key indicators that your organization needed in enablement function and what were some of the main problems that you wanted to set out to solve? AD: Yeah, we observed several key indicators at first, some of them anecdotal in nature and some of them more data-based. In our earliest engagements, we were primarily focused on marketing, and as marketers, we felt like the leads that we were generating in our digital campaigns just landed in a black hole. We never had any idea if they were good leads or bad leads, if they changed into customers at any point. We also realized that we were guessing at strategy. We didn’t really have hard data to lean into, to say definitively, ‘this type of lead that comes from this particular source is a better lead than something that converts on the ‘Contact Us’ form on the website’. So, the missing closed loop and the lack of attribution were big-time signs to us that we needed a sales enablement function. SS: And how did you– because obviously I think for any net new function you really need buy-in from your stakeholders– so how did you gain buy-in from your stakeholders for a sales enablement function and the approach that you wanted to take with it? AD: Sure. Internally, like I mentioned, I had been doing sales enablement really informally for quite some time on a number of different clients. So, I took their positive reviews, maybe kind emails that they sent along with really positive messages and shared those internally, like I said before, to build the case for sales enablement. We also built case studies, success stories around the engagements that were more successful when we had sales enablement responsibilities in action. At that point we had enough evidence that we could make a positive impact on the engagement and the relationship, both in terms of results and longevity, that it became a no brainer for my boss at that point and he was very much on board and allowed us to move forward. SS: That’s fantastic. Now, obviously anytime you’re starting something net new, you will come across challenges, often unforeseen. What were some of the biggest challenges that you faced in your journey building out the sales enablement function at Revenue River, and how did you overcome some of those challenges? AD: That’s a great question. There was no shortage of big challenges. The lack of firsthand sales experience for me personally, and eventually for my team members – like I mentioned, we all came from marketing– that was a little bit of a struggle. As was the lack of great examples of sales enablement as a function to model after. We built the department out four years ago and at that time it was in the earliest stages of the resurgence around the buzzword ‘sales enablement’, but there wasn’t really an official function. There’s a massive gap in education and therefore demand. Like I said, lots of people were probably already doing sales enablement, unofficially, but not really talking about it. We tried to focus on three main things, and that was: one, finding opportunities to get the experience and build a portfolio. The second thing was creating what guidelines and processes I could as I went, knowing that I would need to scale this function if it was going to be successful. And then the third thing was educating our customers, and that’s both internal customers, of course, as well as our external customers on our approach to sales enablement. SS: I think those are three really good focus areas for sure. Now, as you mentioned– without kind of a sales background, yourself coming from the marketing side, how did you drive adoption and buy-in and excitement for the enablement function among the sales teams that you support? AD: Yeah, initially it was a real struggle for us. I think that we lacked the credibility in the sales teams’ eyes. We would build these shiny new systems, these elaborate training plans, and we would arm them with tons of content. But when we went back in our post-launch follow-up, they’d get terrible scores for some reason. We eventually realized a couple of things: one, we weren’t getting enough input early on from the folks in the trenches to really have their buy-in and use their experience to influence what we prioritized. We also didn’t understand their day-to-day well enough to truly get their priorities, their goals, and their challenges. So, we reworked our processes to round out our feedback gathering. We piloted earlier and that really helped us win over advocates in the process that we could use to pick up those quick wins when we launched, and then use that as propaganda for the rest of the team to demonstrate that when they follow the process that we rolled out or used the content that we provided, that it actually worked. We also completed a number of trainings in sales strategies and selling methodologies so that we could better understand the ins and outs and really go where they are. A good example of that– just understanding the cadence of their sales rhythm so that we knew when was an optimal time to schedule a meeting to get their feedback and when would be a terrible time for them, just based on their monthly and quarterly sales rhythm. SS: Absolutely. I think that those are good points. You mentioned, if you don’t mind me deviating just a little bit, that you realized that you needed to better understand a day in the life of a sales rep. What did you and your team do specifically to dive deeper in and understand what it means to walk in the shoes of a sales rep? AD: We did it a number of things. We shadowed sales calls both internally, our internal sales team, as well as sitting in on client sales calls. There’s a number of trainings out there from different platform providers like HubSpot, for example. We also had a sales consultant come into our agency and do a session with us as she would any other sales team. We listened to our sales teams’ phone calls so that we could see the objections that they were running into and what questions they were getting in the process, again so that we could just understand what they were up against, and be better prepared to prescribe either a new strategy or a new piece of content to help them. SS: Fantastic. As your team has grown, Amanda, what are the respective roles inside the enablement organization that you run now? AD: So, we recently made some adjustments, before we had a dedicated architect who would pull the systematic solution together and figure out how all of the tools should talk to each other. We had a dedicated content person who was working with the marketing team to pull together any pieces that the sales rep might need throughout the sales cycle. And then we had an ongoing maintenance reporting/analysis role. We would have multiple people on each project or engagement, and we realized that that wasn’t going to scale very well. So, instead of having an assembly line of sorts, we shifted the role so that each person would own the entire sales enablement engagement. So that would be the early-on system solution, the training and onboarding adoption, and then the ongoing maintenance or optimization. From that perspective, that entails a lot of closing that feedback loop between the marketing team and the sales team to understand what content does sales need to compliment the marketing campaign that might be running? How is it performing? Are they getting additional questions in the sales cycle that marketing could better address if they shift their messaging? So now the role is focused more on strategy, execution, and analysis. SS: I love that, and I think that actually dovetails really well into my last question for you. It is really around kind of the analysis part and proving out the value. So, how have you done that? How have you proved the value of the enablement function to your executive stakeholders and really kind of shown that ROI case to them? AD: I wish I could say it was really simple, but it really depends on the engagement and the objective. We might track things like lead response time, pipeline conversion rates, rep productivity, or active selling time, content consumption, overall pipeline health, or any combination of those. And when it comes to sharing those insights, we do it as proactively as we can with various stakeholders. So, everybody’s getting a little bit of the information instead of doubling down on only one stakeholder, because if that person happens to leave or they have competing priorities, it’s easy for us to get wedged out of the equation. So to do that, we’ll send maybe a quick video of us reviewing a dashboard or metric; we’ll email screenshots, or in some cases we’ll even jump on a quick call in real-time to share something that’s really positive that we’re seeing. But that said, we don’t try to hide from poor outcomes. We share them openly along with our best assessment of what went wrong and what we would recommend is the best path forward. We displayed that that’s the best key to building lasting trust and buy-in. If you’re always just highlighting the positive and trying to shy away from the negative, I think that stakeholders will see through that and it’s not a good long-term strategy. SS: Absolutely. Amanda, it’s been fantastic talking to you about how you’ve built the sales enablement function from the ground up, and kudos on the fantastic job and the evolution that you guys have seen already and just the first four years. So, thank you for joining us today, Amanda. AD: Thank you for having me. It’s been a real pleasure. SS: To our audience. Thanks for listening.

TEMA: Umberto Eco====================================A primeira coluna do ano de 2020 homenageia um intelectual italiano de fama mundial. Autor de mais de 30 livros, entre ensaios, livros de filosofia, semiótica, linguística e romances que entraram na lista de best sellers internacionais. Homenageamos esta semana o autor Umberto Eco.Umberto Eco foi um escritor, filósofo, semiólogo, linguista e bibliófilo italiano. Nasceu dia 05 de janeiro de 1932. Foi um dos grandes intelectuais da área da semiótica, um dos fundadores da semiótica moderna. Ensinou na universidade de Bolonha, em Yale, Columbia, Harvard, Collège de France e Universidade de Toronto. Ao longo da década de 1960 Umberto Eco realizou diversos estudos sobre semiótica abordando as diversas interpretações que o ouvinte, leitor ou telespectador pode conseguir através de uma obra artística. Este estudo é uma das suas principais contribuições intelectuais, e recebeu o nome de “Obra Aberta”. Neste conceito, uma obra de arte pode ter diversas e múltiplas interpretações, todas igualmente válidas. No ano de 1980 publicou o livro pelo qual seria mais conhecido, “O Nome da Rosa”. Este foi o seu primeiro romance e tornou-se um divisor de águas em sua carreira literária, pois com ele consagrou-se na literatura. O livro gerou uma grande repercussão, sendo adaptado para o cinema em 1986 pelo diretor Jean-Jacques Annaud (anú).O livro conta uma intrincada história de detetive que se passa em um mosteiro medieval italiano do século XIV. Uma série de crimes abala o recanto sagrado e um frade franciscano, William de Baskerville, detetive que se comporta como o famoso Sherlock Holmes, além da referência no nome do personagem, uma alusão a um livro de Holmes. O personagem principal é assessorado por seu discípulo, o noviço Adso de Melk.Umberto Eco empreende neste romance uma jornada fictícia rumo à Era Medieval vigente na Europa, uma metáfora do dogmatismo não só religioso, mas especialmente político, que rege não só a Itália, terra natal do autor, mas também uma vasta região do Planeta. Aqui ele debate abertamente as questões que subjazem sob crenças e ideologias contemporâneas, como as antigas contraposições entre o bem e o mal, o certo e o errado, vida e morte, elementos essenciais da doutrina cristã.Outra importante referência literária presente nesta obra é a biblioteca que atua como cenário das investigações de William de Baskerville, a qual parece ter sido inspirada pelo conto A Biblioteca de Babel, do escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges além do próprio Borges, na figura do monge cego Jorge de Burgos.O livro vendeu milhões de exemplares, sendo, provavelmente o mais lido das décadas de 1980-1990. Após a adaptação cinematográfica o sucesso foi ainda maior. Umberto Eco escreveu ainda outros romances, além de O nome da Rosa, são eles: O pêndulo de Foucault (1988), A ilha do dia anterior (1994), Baudolino (2000), A misteriosa chama da rainha Loana (2004), O cemitério de Praga (2011) e O número Zero (2015).Eu tenho todos os romances de Eco e indico aqui, principalmente, o Nome da Rosa, O pêndulo de Foucault e O Número Zero, seu último livro. Além destes romances, recomendo também os ensaios Cinco escritos Morais, Entre a mentira e a ironia, Sobre a literatura e Não contem como fim do livro. Além destes textos escritos, recomendo, claro, o filme “O nome da Rosa” que é uma adaptação um pouco diferente do livro (sem as intrincadas teses filosóficas, teológicas e religiosas), mas igualmente interessante pela contextualização da época e a representação do imenso poder da Igreja Católica na Idade Média Europeia.Umberto Eco morreu de câncer no pâncreas em sua casa, em Milão, na noite de 19 de fevereiro de 2016.
Le livre de ce mois-ci est : Le Nom de la Rose, de Umberto EcoLaissez-moi vous donner le contexte de ce choix Partie en vacances en cette fin janvier, j'ai voulu pour ce mois-ci vous proposer un roman. Un roman divertissant. Un livre qu'on commence et qu'on n'arrive plus à poser. Un "page turner" comme disent nos amis américains. Bref, un roman qui donne envie de lire et qui nous fasse réfléchir en même temps...Quoi de mieux pour ce faire que de vous proposer un genre nouveau : le roman policier. Mais pas n'importe lequel ! Ce mois-ci je vous embarque au Moyen-Age, dans une brillante intrigue qui se déroule dans une abbaye et qui est menée d'un main de maître par le génial auteur italien Umberto Eco.Umberto Eco est un auteur que j'ai toujours beaucoup admiré pour sa plume, son humour et son amour des lettres. Chacun de ses romans peut se lire à différents niveaux : en l'occurence ici, celui d'une intrigue policière, d'un roman historique, ou d'une réflexion sur le pouvoir de la culture. Avec ce roman magistral, Umberto Eco parvient à deux réalisations folles :d'abord : redonner ses lettres de noblesses à un genre souvent décrié : le polar.ensuite à nous divertir avec délice grâce à une intrigue exaltante, toute en nous faisant profondément réfléchir. Car au fond Le Roman de la Rose est certes un roman policier qui nous tient en haleine par ses divers rebondissements, mais aussi et surtout une vraie réflexion contre l'obscurantisme et les préjugés...Le Roman de la Rose n'est pas qu'un simple polar. C'est une ode à l'ouverture sur le monde.Une phrase résume assez bien je crois la position de l'auteur sur la nécessité de distiller du doute dans nos croyances culturelles : "Je me sens peu sûr de ma vérité, même si j'y crois." Si je vous parle concrètement de l'intrigueElle se déroule à l'époque des grandes hérésies et des plus belles heures de l'inquisition. Guillaume de Baskerville notre héro - oui le livre est truffé de références malicieuses et ici on comprend que Umberto Eco fait un clin d'oeil au fameux Chien des Baskerville du célèbre Conan Doyle, auteur de Sherlock Holmes - donc ce cher Guillaume de Baskerville est accompagné de son jeune élève Adso de Melk pour se rendre à un congrès dans une abbaye. Jusque là rien d'anormal. Mais quand ils l'arrivent l'agitation est à son comble : un drame vient de prendre place puisque le corps inerte d'un moine a été retrouvé mort au pied de l'Abbaye. C'est là que commence notre enquête...Celle-ci va emmener Guillaume et Adzo de rebondissements en rebondissements, durant 7 jours, découpés en 7 chapitres, et dans toutes les parties de l'Abbaye. Seule la bibliothèque, renfermant des livres sacrés, leur est interdite...Je ne vais pas vous en dire beaucoup plus pour ne pas vous dévoiler les secrets de notre intrigue. Il ne vous reste plus qu'à découvrir par vous-même les mystères du Roman de la Rose. Bonne lecture à tous et à toutes ! Comment fonctionne le Book Club ?Tous les 1ers Dimanche du mois, je vous dévoile le livre que j’ai sélectionné pour le Book Club.Des livres qui suscitent la réflexion, qui étonnent parfois, ou qui nous font aspirer à voir plus grand.

Badgley spent much of his career in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry. He obtained a B.S. in Wildlife Management from the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point. Christopher spent 18 years working for Wyeth Pharmaceuticals, where he started as a sales representative and ended as the Executive Director of State Government Affairs. He then served as the Senior Vice President for Government and Public Affairs at PhRMA, and Senior Vice President of State Government Affairs for TechAmerica, a trade association for tech companies in the U.S. Prior to his role in ADSO, he also worked at Daiichi Sanko, a Japanese pharmaceutical company. “Working at a trade association, you have to listen to a lot of voices, knowing they are competitors. You have to be able to dance that dance, and that is what makes trade associations fun.” The DSO business model in the dental industry allows dentists to focus on patients and clinical aspects, while contracting the back of house functions of the practice to the member companies of ADSO.

As I’m sure you’ve noticed, we’ve been talking all about Facebook ads and their potential to help you grow your business this month on the podcast. If there’s anything I’m ridiculously passionate about, it’s using Facebook ads to explode your business growth. I’m on a mission to help as many brilliant mamas realize their potential as possible! I’ve got another amazing case study for you today from LJ Johnson. What I love about her story is that a year ago she didn’t even have a website! She just had an idea in her head. She was passionate about planning trips to Disney on a budget and wanted to help other moms do the same. In January of 2017 LJ started her website, Smart Moms Plan Disney, and in March she launched her first product with a presale. LJ has done more than $30,000 in eBook sales since then. I think that’s pretty crazy for someone who didn’t even have a website a year ago! It’s not often you’ll find someone who starts a blog, and less than six months later brings in five-figure sales stats, but that’s the power of Facebook ads! You can really amplify your business growth. If you’re out there just thinking about a business idea, I think you’ll be completely inspired by LJ’s story. You’ll feel empowered that you can do this, too! Exciting News! The other thing I wanted to mention is that LJ talks about going through my Scholarship Program for FB Brilliance. And I wanted to let you know I’m hosting the Scholarship Program again this year! 5 brilliant, amazing ladies will get to enroll in FB Brilliance for free. And I’m not talking limited access or limited stuff. Nope, they get the whole sh’bang! They get lifetime access to the course + all updates. Access to my weekly coaching calls that happen for the first 8 weeks of the program. Access to the private Facebook group to connect with other amazing Mamapreneurs. Access to my mastermind pairing bonus (yep… everyone will get matched up into an 8-person mastermind this year!). My scholarship students get everything! To be considered for a scholarship, make sure you request to join my private Facebook Group right here. Every day, for 5 days in a row (from September 12-16th) I’ll share a lesson. At the end of the lesson, there will be a simple assignment. Each woman who completes all 5 assignments will be considered for the scholarship. We will pick those 5 winners based on who has done the best job on each assignment. Plus, each lesson and assignment will set you up to be more successful with your own Facebook ads, so it’s a win-win! Last year we had 3 winners. These ladies have been totally motivated, and totally rocking and rolling in their businesses. I loved having the chance to gift this course! (Something else fun...and I don’t even know if I should mention this! But I actually gave everyone who submitted a scholarship application a special discount code for FB Brilliance last year! So if you’re on the fence, you should give the Scholarship Program a shot! It’ll give you a sense of my teaching style and steps you can take to set you up for success.) Ladies, I just can't wait to see you in those lessons! And one more note before we get into the interview. I wanted to say that LJ gives FB Brilliance a pretty rave review. That is totally unsolicited! She just started sharing how much she loves FB Brilliance and how it’s changed her business. I just want you to know I did not try to pull that out of her! She just started sharing, which was so, so sweet. I love that she’s enjoyed the course so much. And I honestly think you will, too. Make sure you’re on our list so you get all the updates about FB Brilliance! 7:05 - Meet LJ LJ Johnson is the founder of SmartMomsPlanDisney.com. She lives in Kentucky with her husband and 4 kids. Her business is not even 1 year old yet, and she’s already done amazing things! I am just so excited at how she’s grown a blog and created a product from scratch this year and you won't believe her sales numbers for that brand new eBook! LJ achieved her insane growth primarily using Facebook ads and I can't wait for you to hear her story. 8:26 - A Business Is Born from a Personal Passion LJ’s business idea was brewing for a while. She knew she wanted to do something Disney-related because her knowledge around doing Disney on a budget was seriously ridiculous! (As in, she and her family had been going to Disney every month, and sometimes twice a month for several years!) LJ was eager to bring friends along for the ride. She discovered Brilliant Business Moms in the Fall of 2016 -- the last time the doors to FB Brilliance were open. In fact, she stumbled upon our 5-Day scholarship program ON Day 5! She watched the entire series after the fact, but almost wrote the scholarship off as she didn’t think she would have time to complete the assignment. LJ’s super amazing husband agreed to wrangle their kids for two days while she worked through the assignments so she could be considered for a scholarship. And that was literally the beginning of her business! When we asked you all to start a business Facebook page so you could run ads, that was the moment LJ had to think of a name for her business! “My business was born in FB Brilliance,” LJ says. 10:25 - Faith, Trust, and Ebook Pixie Dust Those initial business tasks took LJ until the first of the year, which is when she officially launched her business. At first, she was considering becoming a Disney travel agent, but it wasn’t a great fit for her passions. LJ felt the real pressure to make a profit, especially since she was spending a lot of her own money on Facebook ads to build her email list. The idea of writing an eBook came to her in March of 2017. She realized that two of her areas of expertise were managing money and going to Disney World, and her ebook was born: Disney World Within Reach: Meeting The Mouse Without Breaking the Bank. This book was the answer to a question LJ has received hundreds of times: “How do you afford to go to Disney?” LJ always thought she was giving common sense answers, but as we business owners have to remember, what comes naturally to us doesn’t come naturally to everyone else! Disney has improved LJ’s life in so many ways, from getting her finances in line (her family was almost a quarter of a million in debt!) to learning how to make the most of time with her family. 15:00 - Maximizing eBook Sales Through our emails, I recommended my sister-in-law Abby’s Book Boss* resource to LJ. In that course, Abby shares her own eBook launch strategies - such as offering presales and working with affiliates - which LJ took to heart. By creating a product that really helps people and following solid marketing advice, LJ has more than earned back every cent she has invested into her Facebook ads. During just her week of presales, she sold over $11K worth of ebooks! And that was just presales! Those customers hadn’t actually received the final product yet! Within two and a half months of the book going live, LJ made $35K in sales. LJ says she is reinvesting a lot back into her new company, but the income has already outpaced the real estate company she already has! 17:38 - How to Run Presales In February, LJ started a Facebook group, which really works well for her niche. Fans were posting to LJ’s business page asking their Disney planning questions, and LJ was eager to answer them...but she felt uncomfortable answering personal questions in a public place. She had the idea to start a private Facebook group where moms could ask their questions, and it worked well. Facebook did a great job of matching up the perfect members to join Smart Moms Planning Disney. By the time the book pre-sale started, LJ had about 5,000 members in her group, with tons of engagement! LJ told her group an ebook was coming the moment she started writing it! And it worked out great since she got tons of amazing feedback during the writing process. (People were even begging her to finish the book as quickly as possible!) Once LJ was ready to warm up buyers, she introduced the book price at $50. She knew most moms might find $50 for an ebook too much to pay, but she wanted to establish that value in their minds. Plus, when she announced the presale price of $35, everyone was super excited for the deal and eager to buy! LJ’s goal was to sell $3,500 total, but she made that amount in the first day! LJ credits all of her success to the working of God. 22:33 - Favorite Tools to Run a Presale Of course, Facebook is LJ’s #1 tool. She says she never would have connected to her audience without it. Another tool LJ loves is SamCart. This app makes it easy to offer customers other products you have for sale. And in fact, it motived LJ to diversify her product offerings and create several packages for customers to choose from. SamCart includes training that suggests using ScreenFlow or PowerPoint Mac to create a slideshow pitching your products and how they work together. She also purchased a quality microphone to record her voice overs. LJ invested $1,000 to use SamCart for a year, but it paid for itself on her first day of sales. 25:00 - Using Facebook Ads for Affordable Leads LJ ran her first Facebook ad on Christmas Day, but there was a MAJOR glitch. A friend sent her a screenshot which showed that LJ’s landing page was completely messed up and looked awful! Still, those leads were coming in at $2.20 each, which is pretty great considering her error-filled page. LJ quickly turned off the ad and did some troubleshooting. Once she was back online, she started getting leads for as low as $0.15 a day! LJ watched our FB Brilliance course in bits and pieces. But whenever she would hit a dry spot or snag with her ads, she picked back up and watched the next module - which usually solved her problem. Due to her background in real estate, LJ is comfortable with the idea of investing money in order to grow. She was okay to spend money up front (about $2,000 a month for a few months) to build up her email list so they would be ready to buy when the time came. Once LJ started writing her book, she backed off Facebook ads and let the momentum organically continue. These days, she is spending about $200 a month on targeted ads. 28:21 - LJ’s Brilliant Ad LJ’s most successful Facebook ad is her simplest. She tells the story of how her first Disney trip was a total disaster! But she came back home, learned more, and tried again. The second trip was a huge success! Then she directs visitors to her free cheat sheet on a carefully designed landing page. This simple ad is her highest clicked link of all! Despite the fact that she’s really pushing other ads to evergreen blog posts. From the investment she’s put into Facebook ads, LJ already has 10,000 subscribers on her list. That kind of growth is incredible for such a new business! And the proof is in the pudding that LJ’s sales funnel is on point. In fact, she has a recent example of one customer completing her entire sales funnel in the course of a one day! The customer: Signed up for her free cheat sheet Clicked immediately on the delivery email and joined her Facebook group Began engaging with the group, and clicked over to LJ’s popular blog posts While reading her blog, the customer requested LJ’s first ebook chapter for free And by the end of the day, had purchased LJ’s $50 eBook! 31:12 - My New Assignment for LJ Since things are going so well, I have a new experiment for LJ to try: Retargeting ads for the people who ended up on her product landing page but didn't end up buying. She could offer a special bonus or $5 off coupon, or even a customer testimonial ad to recapture those visitors and get the sale. At this point, LJ says she can’t handle more sales. (And I know that’s a great problem to have!) Currently, about 6 out of 10 orders are digital, but taking care of the printing for those few physical orders is a lot. LJ is interested in assembling a team at some point to help her grow. 33:47 - The Magical Story LJ Paints with her Ad So let’s dig into LJ’s ad. It’s so well done! Copy: I know you barely have a second here between taking care of your kids and career. In fact, you’re so busy you don’t think you have time to plan a vacation this year. But you know your kids are only the perfect age for that Disney World magic for so long before the time passes you by. I’m LJ and I understand exactly how you feel. But to be honest, my first trip to Disney wasn’t all that magical. I was so busy, I just showed up in line and stood all day. I had no plans, no reservations, and no idea where anything was. We stood in the heat all day and did very little. I didn’t go back for 3 years. But when Baby #2 started walking, I wanted to go back again. And this time I wanted to be prepared. An obsession was born. I now look back on that next trip with such fondness and feelings of joy. I wouldn’t trade those magical memories of my kids and husband for a million dollars. Since then, I’ve gone to Disney over 20 times. I spent over 100 days at Disney World in the last 2 years. I’ve taken not only my four kids but also people of every age from newborn to school age to grandparents! I’ve stayed at almost every Disney resort, rode every ride, seen most every show, ate at so many of the restaurants. And I’ve started this blog to help other working moms find the magic I found at Disney World. I’ll make it easy for you to plan your trip because I don’t want you to end up like me during my first trip! I even have a free cheat sheet that will give you all the important steps to plan your trip.

And she has snapshots of Disney World overlaid on the desk, as well as a checklist. Headline: Disney World? You CAN go this year. Tagline: Disney World: Make the Magic Happen in 2017 This ad has so many shares and views, it’s really perfect! 36:50 - BUSINESS MOM POWER! You guys, this is why moms business are going to take over the world! Moms love supporting other moms, and telling other moms about the awesome things they find! And, moms listen to each other. I just love this energy! LJ is also passionate about moms having an outlet, and being able to earn an income from home. (Audio abruptly cuts here due to some technical difficulties we had, bear with us!) 39:00 - Getting Creative with Targeting We see that LJ has an ‘Ear Hat Ad Set’ that is marketed directly to travel agents for them to be affiliates of her book. Pretty smart! Copy: You’re the expert. Your client is looking to you to provide assistance to make their trip to Disney World as magical as possible. They want you to tell them where to eat, where to stay, what they should fast pass, and how to save money. If you’re like most people, you probably value a great recommendation. When someone tells you about a product that makes your life better, you’re grateful to that person and you’ll go out of your way to help them in the future. The word for this is loyalty. Wouldn’t it be great if you could make a great recommendation and earn your client’s loyalty for years to come? And it would be even better if you got paid to make that recommendation! If this sounds intriguing, click here to check it out the program. And the link goes to a smart landing page explaining the affiliate program for LJ’s book. 40:10 - Narrow Your Target Audience With Your Ad What I also love about this is that LJ let her ad do the work of narrowing down her target market. A lot of newbie advertisers try to perfectly pinpoint their audience on Facebook, only to get frustrated that Facebook doesn’t have that exact audience at their disposal. But the thing is, it doesn’t cost a lot for Facebook to show your ad around. Let the very clear message in your ad copy, image, and headline do the narrowing for you. It’s totally okay if thousands of people pass you up on your offer, as long as a few of the right people see it and respond. That’s the power of Facebook! 40:54 - Facebook Ads Are NOT Just For Huge Companies A lot of people think that Facebook ads are only for huge businesses, but I’m here to tell every Brilliant Business Mom that ads are doable for any business of any size! You don’t even have to run your ads every day to see great results. You can have a successful campaign for $50 a month, get new people in your funnel for about 10 Days, turn off your ad, nurture them, measure your results, then tweak from there! 41:30 - A Fabulous ROI When LJ started her real estate company a few years ago, at the time she was really nervous about investing! “Am I really going to spend all this money? I might never get it back!” And thinking about FB Brilliance, LJ says if anyone is on the fence she can attest that the course is a great investment. She says, “This course had everything I needed in it. You gave me the direction for me to head in.” (That is SO sweet and kind. Thank you, LJ! And our interview ends really abruptly here due to technical issues. But stay tuned! We’ve got great things ahead.) 43:30 - Ready To Try Your First Ad?? Did this interview leave you just itching to test Facebook ads?? We have a cheat sheet you can grab before you do: 10 Things You Need to Know Before You Run Your First Ad. It'll save you time, tears, and money! 43:50 - Closing Comments Whew! That was so fun talking to LJ! One thing I wanted to mention, there were a few awkward starts and stops to the interview, and you might have heard baby squeaks in the background. That’s because I was holding Levi while recording, and his schedule was a bit different than mine :) We did have to cut this interview short, and didn’t get a chance to hop back on due to scheduling, but I did want to share LJ’s story! Her success is absolutely crazy. And one thing I wanted to point out is that LJ is not afraid to invest funds up front in her business to get results. You can absolutely do Facebook ads on a budget. But LJ did scale more quickly to see bigger results more quickly. As LJ shared, she comes from a real estate investing background. And in real estate, you’re often putting up large sums of money before seeing a return. And honestly, that’s how a lot of business growth works. We’re almost spoiled to think we don’t have to spend anything and can just start a profitable business from thin air. Yes, we live in an amazing time where we can set up shop on the internet instead of having the huge overhead involved in a storefront or physical place of business. But that doesn't mean starting an online business will be free. There is always a cost to growing your business. The question you have to decide is what expense do you want to trade in: dollars or hours? There isn’t a right or wrong answer. But if you’re ready to trade dollars for quicker growth, I think you’ll love FB Brilliance!
Recently a friend suggested that President Trump may be the Antichrist. This is not the first time I have heard such a statement. In the years I have been a Christian, people have told me that the Pope, Henry Kissinger, and Presidents Reagan and Obama were the Antichrist. So who is the Antichrist and is he alive today? Let's dive into the Bible and see if we can answer this question. Your Takeaway Use biblical wisdom, not common opinion, to discern the person of the Antichrist. Spirit of the Antichrist The Antichrist is alive today as the Spirit of the Antichrist. What is the spirit of the Antichrist? Any person who denies that God the Son, Jesus, has come in the flesh to the world. - 1 John 4:3; 2 John 1:7 This deception, the denial of deity and manhood of God the Son and His saving mission to the earth has overtaken the western world. So, yes, the spirit of the Antichrist is alive and well today. The Antichrist Human Origin There is an actual person who will be the Antichrist. The Bible gives different names to the Antichrist. They are: The Seed of Satan - Genesis 3:15 The Little Horn - Daniel 7:8 The King of Fierce Countenance - Daniel 8:23 The Prince that Shall Come - Daniel 9:26 The Desolator - Daniel 9:27 The Willful King - Daniel 11:36 The Man of Sin - 2 Thessalonians 2:3 The Son of Perdition - 2 Thessalonians 2:3 The Lawless One - 2 Thessalonians 2:8 The Antichrist - 1 John 2:22 The Beast - Revelation 11:7; 13:1-10 From some of these passages, we can deduce the origin of the Antichrist. Revelation 13:1-10 - The Beast comes out of the sea. The sea stands for the gentile nations. Daniel 7:8, 19-26 - The Little Horn of Daniel is a blasphemous human ruler that rises out of the revived fourth empire to rule over Israel. The four are: The Babylonian Empire The Medo-Persian Empire The Greek Empire The Roman Empire Daniel 9:27 - We learned in an earlier episode that the seven-year tribulation period will start with Israel signing a seven-year covenant with the Antichrist. This predicted Antichrist is the "prince who is to come" in Daniel 9:26. This verse identifies his nationality as the same who destroyed the Jerusalem and the Temple. Rome destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in A.D. 70. The human origin of the Antichrist will be Roman. Supernatural Origin Genesis 3:15 - This passage teaches that the Messiah, the offspring of the woman, will be in conflict with the offspring of Satan. 2 Thessalonians 2:9 - The Antichrist will come forth by the "workings of Satan." The Antichrist will come to be by Satanic power or means. Three options: Satan will impregnate a woman. (Fruchtenbaum, 212-213) Two humans will conceive a child, but at the moment of conception, Satan will enter a woman's womb and be a part of the creation and gestation of this child. (Adso of Montier-En-Der) Totally human but possessed and controlled by Satan. Regardless, he will have supernatural power that will deceive many and keep them from salvation. 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 So the Antichrist will be of Roman origin and have supernatural powers. That rules out President Trump. Please Visit If you want to know more about Wakefield Valley Bible Church please visit WakefieldBible.org.

Rhonda Galbally and Bruce Bonyhady were both instrumental in the creation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Alan Porritt and Julian Smith (AAP)This is the first program in a new podcast series, Change Agents. It will focus on examples of ordinary people who have brought about profound social, political and cultural change, celebrating their success and explaining how they did it. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the biggest social reform in Australia this century. By 2022 it will help half a million people access comprehensive disability support at a cost of around A$25 billion. On this program, two of the NDIS’ founders explain how they developed something so radical and comprehensive and then won support for the idea. Bruce Bonyhady is the chairman and Rhonda Galbally is a board member of the National Disability Insurance Agency, the body that implements the NDIS. You can read the transcript below. Andrew Dodd: Hello, I’m Andrew Dodd and this is Change Agents, a series about change and the people who make it happen. Today, the birth of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. The National Disability Insurance Scheme is Australia’s biggest social reform this century. By 2022 it’s estimated half a million people will be using it to access better disability support. By then, it’ll cost around $25 billion a year, funded in part by an increase in the Medicare levy. Today we’ll meet two of its founders: Bruce Bonyhady is the chairman, and Rhonda Galbally is a board member, of the NDIA, the agency that runs the NDIS. They told a forum at Swinburne University that the idea has been around for a long time, as far back as the Whitlam years. Bruce Bonyhady: Whitlam, following the introduction of Medicare, wanted to have a national compensation scheme. A similar scheme was introduced in New Zealand, but covering just people with disabilities who acquired that disability through an accident – so, it was a narrower scheme than what we have now. But the idea that you could take the thinking that applies to workers’ compensation or motor vehicle compensation schemes and apply that to disability more generally dates back to then, and in fact is part of a movement that started in the 1890s when the first compulsory workers’ compensation schemes were developed – in fact in Germany. AD: Am I right in saying it was on the books at the time the Whitlam government was dismissed, and that the Fraser government decided not to carry through with it? BB: Yes, it was due to be debated in parliament on November 11, 1975, and then Fraser decided not to carry on the reform. AD: So obviously then there wasn’t the bipartisanship that characterised what happened with the NDIS later. BB: No, there was no bipartisanship around that, and in fact there was no bipartisanship at that stage around universal health insurance either. AD: I’ve read that it was scuttled in part because the insurers saw that it was against their interests to support something that would undermine their business models. So, they were opposed to it. BB: I don’t know that detail. I think the point about the NDIS, though, is that it provides insurance where there was no insurance before. There is no private insurer who will insure someone who was born with a disability, or acquires a disability through a progressive medical condition, and will insure catastrophic risk. This is a classic case of market failure – there was no insurance available. And it’s a classic issue to which insurance applies – because the whole population is at risk. The consequences of major disability on those directly affected and their families is enormous. And so if we all pay a small amount, then we can insure us all – and it is the most efficient and effective way, as a society, to support people with disabilities. And in fact, if you go back to the work of Kenneth Arrow in the 1960s, who won a Nobel Prize for his work on insurance, he, in his work, where he demonstrated that universal health insurance is the most efficient way for communities to support the risk of adverse health outcomes, he also had a category for what he called “failure to recover” – in other words, permanent disability. So, already in the 1960s the academic work had been done to demonstrate the veracity of this scheme. Rhonda Galbally: But, what was missing then was that the disability rights movement hadn’t started in Australia. And there was no mobilisation or interest. In America, it started – really, for the world – with the Vietnam veterans coming back and just not putting up with being put in institutions. They said “no way” and started the independent living movement. Ours would’ve started just in tiny little seeds towards the end of the 70s. And then in the early 80s they had a small voice, but they were responsible for the deinstitutionalisation movement. But then, by the time it came around for the NDIS, that mobilisation possibility was just as important as the idea – because if the idea had been there, which Bruce designed, without the possibility of the mobilisation then we’d be back to where we were with the Whitlam era. So I think that’s a very important part of the question of: “how come?” AD: One of the people who deserves a lot of credit in bringing about the NDIS is the former deputy prime minister, Brian Howe. It’s said that back in 2005 he went back to the Woodhouse report – this report that had been commissioned by the Whitlam government – pulled it off the shelf, had a look at it, and started thinking about an insurance scheme that could address some of these issues. How fundamental was he to this? BB: He was certainly fundamental to my involvement. In 2005 I was just starting to be interested in disability reform. I was very conscious that there was chronic underfunding; that many people were not getting the support they needed – either not enough support or were missing out entirely. I was on a board with Brian at the time, and I said to him I wanted to talk to him about disability reform. And what he said to me was “you have to stop thinking about disability policy as welfare, and start thinking about it as risk and insurance and investment”. It was one of those lightbulb moments. So, it became a catalyst for me to start to explore how insurance could be applied to people with disability more generally. I very quickly came across the work of John Walsh, who had developed a whole scheme for anyone who was catastrophically injured – not just those who were catastrophically injured in motor-vehicle or workplace accidents. I said to John “could we do this for all of disability?”, and he said “of course, we just need the data”. Both Brian and then John were incredibly important to how we got to where we are today. AD: You were, at that stage, chair of Yooralla. And you came into this sector because of a personal family connection to these issues. BB: Yeah. I’ve got two adult sons, both of whom have cerebral palsy. Prior to them being born – my older son is now in his 30s – I knew nothing about disability, so I became involved on the boards of disability organisations. Initially my focus was on those organisations and their governance. In 2005 I started to think more broadly. The trigger for that was going to an early intervention centre that Yooralla was running near Dandenong and sitting down with the mother of a disabled boy. She said to me: “Why can’t my son get the early intervention services he needs?”. And I went into this long explanation about how we were doing the best we could with the funding we had, and then I went away appalled by the answer. Here I was, with all of my connections and education, and I was defending the status quo. That was really the trigger for me to go and see Brian. I thought it was shocking, so that was how it started. AD: Let’s go forward from 2005 to the election of the Rudd government. The parliamentary secretary for disability services, Bill Shorten, was appointed in 2007. He became very important to what ensued. RG: Well I think Bill was really the important catalyst in a way. And I think he really was very striking from the very first time I met him in that he didn’t characterise disability as a sad tragedy or misery. He characterised it as an outrage, a real abrogation of human rights, and it was sort of like a non-welfare approach to it, and also a waste: he characterised it as wasteful of people’s potential. There was a charitable view of disability. People were very happy to talk at length about raising money for poor disadvantaged people, but nobody was talking about it being an absolute outrage. That was Bill, and behind Bill was Jenny Macklin, who was very seasoned, and he had a view of especially mobilisation. The sector was in complete disarray. And because it had been a charitable sad story, the media was characterised by burden. There were very important programs which probably helped the case but were really fragmenting, because you’d come out of it feeling like cutting your throat as a person with a disability because there you were, you’d ruined everyone’s lives and the families were in tragedy and so people with disabilities organisations didn’t get on at all with carers’ organisations, and both were united – probably quite rightly – in being highly critical of the services that hadn’t changed in about the last 50 years. AD: I think I read something you wrote that said that these sectors were effectively at war with each other. RG: They were at war. And they were at war in every country in the world. I can remember reading a Guardian article by the head of the Disability Rights Commission in the UK, and she said we will not make progress in this country until the carers organisations get together with the people with disabilities organisations and build an alliance. AD: I want to find out more about how you did that and we’ll get to that in a second, but I want to go to the 2020 Summit now, because that also is very important to this. I’ve heard snippets of this story but I want you to tell the full story, Bruce, about how you got this issue on the agenda of the 2020 Summit. I don’t think you were even a delegate, were you? BB: No, I wasn’t a delegate. RG: There’s a club for them, for non-delegates. AD: Are you in that club? BB: I got together with Helen Sykes, who is the chairman of the James Macready Bryan Foundation, and one of my closest long-time friends, John Nairn, who was a director of that foundation. None of us were invited to the 2020 Summit so we got the list of delegates and we wrote to everyone and contacted everyone on that list that we knew. We knew that no-one was going to take our idea to the summit as their top idea, so we knew we were going to be at best their second idea at the summit. So we figured that going into the Summit we were somewhere worse than position 1001, but somehow it emerged as one of the half-dozen big ideas of the summit. And – on reflection – it was undoubtedly the big idea of the 2020 Summit. AD: How many of them put it as their second idea, do you know? BB: I don’t know. Certainly a number of people I know well pushed it. AD: How did you get people to say “OK, I will put your idea down as my second idea” at this big summit? BB: I think it was a compelling case. Everyone knows someone with a disability, or they’ve got a relative with a disability, and they know how broken that old system was. Here was an idea which made reform affordable, and people responded. And I think we had some luck. I think some of these things are: you work hard and you put all your effort in and you get some lucky breaks, so we obviously got some lucky breaks for that to happen. AD: So it emerges as a big idea and – as you say – probably the big idea of the 2020 Summit. And then you were asked by Bill Shorten to look at the feasibility of the scheme and actually shore it all up with the right numbers behind it. BB: Well we’d already started on that process. So a group of us, chaired by Ian Silk, worked for 18 months on this report. When you’re asked to recommend reform to governments you’ve got a choice – you can have a long shopping list of ideas, or you can essentially say “we’ve got one idea”, and that’s what we did. We said: “We’ve got one idea and we think it’s a big idea and we think it requires further examination by government”. AD: And I think this is about the time that Bill Shorten says to you and to the various groups: “come together and start working as a team”, and you led this group that became the alliance. RG: There was internal-to-government and then there was external-to-government, and I facilitated the external-to-government coming together of the three and in fact it was very moving. I think about it now in terms of the maturity of being able to think about what it was like from somebody else’s point of view. I can remember the first time we came together with carers and I was thinking about it from my mother’s point of view – how it had been for her and her life when I was disabled as a tiny baby. It was that expression and then them seeing it from the person’s point of view, instead of just from the family’s point of view, that made it quite a profound connection. Internally to government, because the carers’ networks had been so powerful through the 1990s, there was a view that there should be a separate carers’ council. But because we’d mobilised and come together on the outside, it just didn’t make sense. So that was a persuasion job with Bill and Jenny, because the bureaucrats were pretty convinced that they should be separate. I remember [the bureaucrats] saying “but carers look after old people” and I thought “well you’re not a carer of someone old until they’re disabled, actually, otherwise you’re just a son or a daughter – you don’t play that carer role until they’re disabled too”, so the topic is still disability. So they then agreed to it being set up in joint services and carers, and then Bill insisted on putting business and unions on. I was very opposed and I said “Oh no, it should just be consumers” and he was proven to be right; they were tremendously valuable – they opened it out, they took it back to their networks, to the business council, to the AICD, to all sorts of places that had never heard of these issues, and the ACTU. It was really valuable, that move to broaden that group out. BB: I think the other thing that we need to give Rhonda credit for is the alliance was her brainchild. This alliance outside government – it’s a world-first. This is the first time anywhere in the world that, the sector having split, as part of the disability rights movement, as a sign of its maturity came together to prosecute the case for big reform. You only get big reform when you’ve got unity and a single voice and a single point of advocacy to government and the community. AD: You were saying earlier that some were pushing to include education in the campaign and other aspects of disability reform that were required, and it was about narrowing it down to one achievable – admittedly ambitious – but one achievable goal. RG: Yes, and the trouble also was a matter of us – Bruce and I – thinking that the NDIS should be the focus, but also we decided to only work on something we could agree on. Education is still reasonably controversial in that some of the carers felt special education was good, and the people with disabilities organisations didn’t agree with that, so we put it off the agenda instead of having another war about content. On the NDIS, everyone agreed. BB: The NDIS was and is a unifying idea because it says the support you will receive is based on your need. It’s no longer based on where you acquired your disability, when you acquired your disability, how you acquired your disability, or what your type of disability is: whether you’ve got autism or cerebral palsy or spina bifida. It says need is the determinant, and that the support you receive is commensurate with that need. So, we were able to work through that – because even within that there was still a lot of debate in terms of language and other issues that we had to get right before we could agree that this was the single issue that we were going to pursue above all others. AD: Can I ask you about the mobilisation, because at one stage – in fact you still have these kind of numbers – 150,000 people reachable by email who then have the flow-on effect of contacting others. The alliance didn’t have a lot of money but it had this incredibly powerful tool at its disposal: the people involved. RG: They were very hot, and still are very, very hot contacts … AD: What do you mean by hot? RG: I mean they’ll take action. I mean they’re not just a contact list where half of them are old and you haven’t cleaned it. I mean this is a hot where people have kept up-to-date, where they’re vitally interested. AD: How have you harnessed this resource? RG: It was absolutely instrumental in getting the scheme. Wouldn’t you agree Bruce? BB: Yeah. RG: Very, very important. And it’s watching – it’s a marvellous check and balance, and it’s watching and anything that would not make the scheme happen in the way that everybody thinks that we’ve signed up for, it’s there, and it’s never before been in my experience, in my life, that I‘ve ever seen disability be a really political issue, a hot political issue. It was in America, but that was the Vietnam veterans that did that and they made the American Disability Act that’s a really powerful act. But in Australia it’s never been but now it is, and I think it’s not going to go away – I think it’s just there, and it’s a really important instrument for all of us. AD: Is it true that 120 House of Representatives MPs were visited by people with disabilities and carers in the lead-up to key decisions being made? BB: I don’t know whether it was 120 but it was certainly of that order. People went to see their MPs, they wrote to them just prior to major COAG meetings; thousands of emails were sent to the prime minister and the premiers … RG: Disability teas, do you remember those? BB: Yes. This was a very active group. It’s worth remembering that at about the time the NDIS campaign – the Every Australian Counts campaign – was running, the miners were also running a campaign against a mining tax. They had millions and millions of dollars. What the NDIS campaign had were people. This was an old-fashioned – in many ways an old-fashioned grassroots campaign – mobilised through social media very, very effectively. RG: I was chairing a hospital at the time and hadn’t mentioned it to my hospital – to the board or the staff – that they might have had any interest – I should’ve – but they came to me and said they were having a disability tea. And so they were everywhere, they were in hospitals, in local governments, in NGOs, in businesses – a lot of businesses had disability teas. There were state co-ordinators that were part of the Every Australian Counts campaign – they did a lot of that work. There was Kirstin, there was John, and then there were the Australian Federation of Disability Organisations, and Carers Australia – a very powerful and important organisation. They’d get it out to their members and they’d all have disability teas so it wasn’t just that 150,000 very warm email contacts of citizens of Australia. They weren’t organisational, it was also all the organisations. BB: And then there were all the people who just told their stories, without any sense of self-pity. They just explained what life was like as a person with a disability, or someone caring for a disability – frankly and openly – and those stories resonated with the Australian public, and the statistics also supported those stories. When we found that in the OECD area, Australia ranked last in terms of people with disability living at or below the poverty line, people said: “In the midst of this great mining boom, we’ve got this?”. So, the sense of, not just shame, but that it can’t be allowed to continue, just spread out from people with disabilities to the community as a whole and culminated in that moment when the government put forward the proposition that the Medicare levy should be increased to fund the NDIS, and 85% of the Australian population said: “we’re happy”. Never before has a tax increase been approved overnight. AD: You referred to John Walsh before, and I don’t want to skip over that because this guy deserves enormous credit. This is somebody who worked at Pricewaterhousecoopers; he was an actuary. He had an accident at the age of 20 when he was playing rugby and became a quadriplegic, and focused as a result on this special skill he had as a number-cruncher and you guys used him throughout the process to shore up the numbers to convince the politicians and the departments that this thing was achievable. BB: This scheme would not have been achieved without John. RG: I agree. BB: His analytical capability, his enormous intellect to apply the actuarial principles to disability as a whole, to get the data, to do the analysis. He was a member of the disability investment group, he was then the other commissioner with Patricia Scott on the Productivity Commission, he’s now on the board of the NDIA and chairs our sustainability committee. His contribution is giant. He worked not just in Australia but in New Zealand so he understood the accident compensation scheme there, he’d worked on most of Australia’s workers compensation and transport accident schemes. His significance is enormous. AD: He came with you both, I understand, to dinner at The Lodge, with Jenny Macklin and Bill Shorten. Have I got that right? How did that dinner go and what happened? BB: We were at a point where this scheme needed true bipartisanship at the tops of all parties … AD: I should say when this happened Julia Gillard was the prime minister … BB: She was the prime minister. The Productivity Commission report had been presented and a number of us got the opportunity to have dinner with her and put the case for why the NDIS should be a priority for her government. Because, at the end of the day, big reforms need prime ministerial approval. AD: Did she need much convincing? BB: I don’t think so. I think she got it. But I think it was very important in the sense of hearing from people who had been deeply involved with the development of the idea. The dinner was not conclusive; we didn’t know what the outcome was. We really put our case. It was actually quite short; the business part of it probably only took about 45 minutes for the key points to be made, and then it went to more general chit-chat. But all of the key points were made. We then waited. Soon thereafter she said: “we’re going to get this thing done”. RG: It was a very quick response after the commissioner’s report. It was about the quickest ever. BB: Yeah, but it was that moment where she said “we’re going to get it done”. And from that point on, the machinery of the Commonwealth government swung fully into action behind the scheme. AD: What does that look like, when it all swings behind you and everyone’s onside and wanting to make it happen quickly? BB: It gets momentum. AD: That word momentum keeps cropping up from this point on … BB: Well I think when you have the prime minister’s department, the Treasury, the Finance Department, the Department of Family and Housing and Community Services, all behind an idea, and they’re the key departments, then it happens. AD: The Medicare levy increased from 1.5 to 2%. How did you manage that? BB: Craig Wallace was very significant in that. He’s the chairman of People With Disability Australia, and so he has always been very influential in disability circles and he wrote an opinion piece on it, and I think that was at a time when the government was thinking through how were they going to fund it. So I think that was certainly influential. I think it’s important to remember that what the Productivity Commission said was that this scheme should be funded out of general revenue, and part of the reason they argued that was because they said this is one of the first things that government should do, it’s like defence. If taxes aren’t going to go up then there are other things at the margin that government should cease doing in order to ensure that this scheme is funded. Their view was this was core government business. RG: I’m just trying to think, though, who did come up with the Medicare levy? I think it is a really interesting question. It might have come out of Jenny Macklin’s office … AD: Well, I remember reading that Jenny Macklin at one stage went to the Expenditure Review Committee [ERC] and, I don’t know how she got away with this, but just coolly asked for A$14 billion over five years to make this happen. She said afterwards it was the biggest thing she ever asked for from the ERC – as you’d kind of hope that that would be the biggest thing she ever asked for – but this is a massive amount of money. RG: But she had a very good case. You make it sound quite casual, whereas she’s a very carefully prepared. She’s a top policy person herself, so she would have had all the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed. AD: So it gathers this momentum, and I remember the announcement that it would be tied to Medicare and there was a little bit of opposition, there was some discussion about it. But what characterised it was how little opposition there was and how quickly the actual opposition, then the Coalition, fell in behind it. BB: I think it’s not fair to say “at that point the opposition fell in behind it”. I think that the opposition, particularly Tony Abbott and senator Mitch Fifield, understood this scheme and its significance from very, very early on, so the bipartisanship began much earlier. And I think what they grasped was that it was not just a social policy reform, but it was an economic reform, and it was about equity, and about opportunity. And this is about equality of opportunity for people with disabilities, and it was about equity for them and their families. And so there was a basis for that emerging bipartisanship. And one of the things that we knew already at the time of the disability investment group was that this reform was probably going to take seven years in terms of introducing it, that it was going to be a long period of time, therefore it was going to go across multiple governments and so had to win the support of all parties and all governments, both federal and state. AD: Rhonda, when did you know that you’d won the support of Tony Abbott? RD: There was a systematic program of approaching and talking, and I met with Mitch Fifield quite often and he had supported it – he’d been very clear. But I bumped into Tony Abbott in the street in Sydney, and I said to him: “Mr Abbott, I’m hearing you’re supporting the NDIS and I’m so pleased”. And he said: “Well normally I’m Mr No, but on this occasion I’m Mr Yes”. And so I had a Press Club appearance about two weeks later and I quoted it. He then picked it up and quoted it everywhere. So it became his phrase! I’ve met millions of politicians over a long, long life – because I’m quite elderly by now – and a lot you don’t get past the goalposts because there isn’t that groundswell. Medicare had a groundswell, which was pretty good for its day when you think about it; this was about 50 times bigger than the Medicare groundswell. And I don’t think a politician in Australia could deny it.

Rhonda Galbally and Bruce Bonyhady were both instrumental in the creation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. Alan Porritt and Julian Smith (AAP)This is the first program in a new podcast series, Change Agents. It will focus on examples of ordinary people who have brought about profound social, political and cultural change, celebrating their success and explaining how they did it. The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) is the biggest social reform in Australia this century. By 2022 it will help half a million people access comprehensive disability support at a cost of around A$25 billion. On this program, two of the NDIS’ founders explain how they developed something so radical and comprehensive and then won support for the idea. Bruce Bonyhady is the chairman and Rhonda Galbally is a board member of the National Disability Insurance Agency, the body that implements the NDIS. You can read the transcript below. Andrew Dodd: Hello, I’m Andrew Dodd and this is Change Agents, a series about change and the people who make it happen. Today, the birth of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. The National Disability Insurance Scheme is Australia’s biggest social reform this century. By 2022 it’s estimated half a million people will be using it to access better disability support. By then, it’ll cost around $25 billion a year, funded in part by an increase in the Medicare levy. Today we’ll meet two of its founders: Bruce Bonyhady is the chairman, and Rhonda Galbally is a board member, of the NDIA, the agency that runs the NDIS. They told a forum at Swinburne University that the idea has been around for a long time, as far back as the Whitlam years. Bruce Bonyhady: Whitlam, following the introduction of Medicare, wanted to have a national compensation scheme. A similar scheme was introduced in New Zealand, but covering just people with disabilities who acquired that disability through an accident – so, it was a narrower scheme than what we have now. But the idea that you could take the thinking that applies to workers’ compensation or motor vehicle compensation schemes and apply that to disability more generally dates back to then, and in fact is part of a movement that started in the 1890s when the first compulsory workers’ compensation schemes were developed – in fact in Germany. AD: Am I right in saying it was on the books at the time the Whitlam government was dismissed, and that the Fraser government decided not to carry through with it? BB: Yes, it was due to be debated in parliament on November 11, 1975, and then Fraser decided not to carry on the reform. AD: So obviously then there wasn’t the bipartisanship that characterised what happened with the NDIS later. BB: No, there was no bipartisanship around that, and in fact there was no bipartisanship at that stage around universal health insurance either. AD: I’ve read that it was scuttled in part because the insurers saw that it was against their interests to support something that would undermine their business models. So, they were opposed to it. BB: I don’t know that detail. I think the point about the NDIS, though, is that it provides insurance where there was no insurance before. There is no private insurer who will insure someone who was born with a disability, or acquires a disability through a progressive medical condition, and will insure catastrophic risk. This is a classic case of market failure – there was no insurance available. And it’s a classic issue to which insurance applies – because the whole population is at risk. The consequences of major disability on those directly affected and their families is enormous. And so if we all pay a small amount, then we can insure us all – and it is the most efficient and effective way, as a society, to support people with disabilities. And in fact, if you go back to the work of Kenneth Arrow in the 1960s, who won a Nobel Prize for his work on insurance, he, in his work, where he demonstrated that universal health insurance is the most efficient way for communities to support the risk of adverse health outcomes, he also had a category for what he called “failure to recover” – in other words, permanent disability. So, already in the 1960s the academic work had been done to demonstrate the veracity of this scheme. Rhonda Galbally: But, what was missing then was that the disability rights movement hadn’t started in Australia. And there was no mobilisation or interest. In America, it started – really, for the world – with the Vietnam veterans coming back and just not putting up with being put in institutions. They said “no way” and started the independent living movement. Ours would’ve started just in tiny little seeds towards the end of the 70s. And then in the early 80s they had a small voice, but they were responsible for the deinstitutionalisation movement. But then, by the time it came around for the NDIS, that mobilisation possibility was just as important as the idea – because if the idea had been there, which Bruce designed, without the possibility of the mobilisation then we’d be back to where we were with the Whitlam era. So I think that’s a very important part of the question of: “how come?” AD: One of the people who deserves a lot of credit in bringing about the NDIS is the former deputy prime minister, Brian Howe. It’s said that back in 2005 he went back to the Woodhouse report – this report that had been commissioned by the Whitlam government – pulled it off the shelf, had a look at it, and started thinking about an insurance scheme that could address some of these issues. How fundamental was he to this? BB: He was certainly fundamental to my involvement. In 2005 I was just starting to be interested in disability reform. I was very conscious that there was chronic underfunding; that many people were not getting the support they needed – either not enough support or were missing out entirely. I was on a board with Brian at the time, and I said to him I wanted to talk to him about disability reform. And what he said to me was “you have to stop thinking about disability policy as welfare, and start thinking about it as risk and insurance and investment”. It was one of those lightbulb moments. So, it became a catalyst for me to start to explore how insurance could be applied to people with disability more generally. I very quickly came across the work of John Walsh, who had developed a whole scheme for anyone who was catastrophically injured – not just those who were catastrophically injured in motor-vehicle or workplace accidents. I said to John “could we do this for all of disability?”, and he said “of course, we just need the data”. Both Brian and then John were incredibly important to how we got to where we are today. AD: You were, at that stage, chair of Yooralla. And you came into this sector because of a personal family connection to these issues. BB: Yeah. I’ve got two adult sons, both of whom have cerebral palsy. Prior to them being born – my older son is now in his 30s – I knew nothing about disability, so I became involved on the boards of disability organisations. Initially my focus was on those organisations and their governance. In 2005 I started to think more broadly. The trigger for that was going to an early intervention centre that Yooralla was running near Dandenong and sitting down with the mother of a disabled boy. She said to me: “Why can’t my son get the early intervention services he needs?”. And I went into this long explanation about how we were doing the best we could with the funding we had, and then I went away appalled by the answer. Here I was, with all of my connections and education, and I was defending the status quo. That was really the trigger for me to go and see Brian. I thought it was shocking, so that was how it started. AD: Let’s go forward from 2005 to the election of the Rudd government. The parliamentary secretary for disability services, Bill Shorten, was appointed in 2007. He became very important to what ensued. RG: Well I think Bill was really the important catalyst in a way. And I think he really was very striking from the very first time I met him in that he didn’t characterise disability as a sad tragedy or misery. He characterised it as an outrage, a real abrogation of human rights, and it was sort of like a non-welfare approach to it, and also a waste: he characterised it as wasteful of people’s potential. There was a charitable view of disability. People were very happy to talk at length about raising money for poor disadvantaged people, but nobody was talking about it being an absolute outrage. That was Bill, and behind Bill was Jenny Macklin, who was very seasoned, and he had a view of especially mobilisation. The sector was in complete disarray. And because it had been a charitable sad story, the media was characterised by burden. There were very important programs which probably helped the case but were really fragmenting, because you’d come out of it feeling like cutting your throat as a person with a disability because there you were, you’d ruined everyone’s lives and the families were in tragedy and so people with disabilities organisations didn’t get on at all with carers’ organisations, and both were united – probably quite rightly – in being highly critical of the services that hadn’t changed in about the last 50 years. AD: I think I read something you wrote that said that these sectors were effectively at war with each other. RG: They were at war. And they were at war in every country in the world. I can remember reading a Guardian article by the head of the Disability Rights Commission in the UK, and she said we will not make progress in this country until the carers organisations get together with the people with disabilities organisations and build an alliance. AD: I want to find out more about how you did that and we’ll get to that in a second, but I want to go to the 2020 Summit now, because that also is very important to this. I’ve heard snippets of this story but I want you to tell the full story, Bruce, about how you got this issue on the agenda of the 2020 Summit. I don’t think you were even a delegate, were you? BB: No, I wasn’t a delegate. RG: There’s a club for them, for non-delegates. AD: Are you in that club? BB: I got together with Helen Sykes, who is the chairman of the James Macready Bryan Foundation, and one of my closest long-time friends, John Nairn, who was a director of that foundation. None of us were invited to the 2020 Summit so we got the list of delegates and we wrote to everyone and contacted everyone on that list that we knew. We knew that no-one was going to take our idea to the summit as their top idea, so we knew we were going to be at best their second idea at the summit. So we figured that going into the Summit we were somewhere worse than position 1001, but somehow it emerged as one of the half-dozen big ideas of the summit. And – on reflection – it was undoubtedly the big idea of the 2020 Summit. AD: How many of them put it as their second idea, do you know? BB: I don’t know. Certainly a number of people I know well pushed it. AD: How did you get people to say “OK, I will put your idea down as my second idea” at this big summit? BB: I think it was a compelling case. Everyone knows someone with a disability, or they’ve got a relative with a disability, and they know how broken that old system was. Here was an idea which made reform affordable, and people responded. And I think we had some luck. I think some of these things are: you work hard and you put all your effort in and you get some lucky breaks, so we obviously got some lucky breaks for that to happen. AD: So it emerges as a big idea and – as you say – probably the big idea of the 2020 Summit. And then you were asked by Bill Shorten to look at the feasibility of the scheme and actually shore it all up with the right numbers behind it. BB: Well we’d already started on that process. So a group of us, chaired by Ian Silk, worked for 18 months on this report. When you’re asked to recommend reform to governments you’ve got a choice – you can have a long shopping list of ideas, or you can essentially say “we’ve got one idea”, and that’s what we did. We said: “We’ve got one idea and we think it’s a big idea and we think it requires further examination by government”. AD: And I think this is about the time that Bill Shorten says to you and to the various groups: “come together and start working as a team”, and you led this group that became the alliance. RG: There was internal-to-government and then there was external-to-government, and I facilitated the external-to-government coming together of the three and in fact it was very moving. I think about it now in terms of the maturity of being able to think about what it was like from somebody else’s point of view. I can remember the first time we came together with carers and I was thinking about it from my mother’s point of view – how it had been for her and her life when I was disabled as a tiny baby. It was that expression and then them seeing it from the person’s point of view, instead of just from the family’s point of view, that made it quite a profound connection. Internally to government, because the carers’ networks had been so powerful through the 1990s, there was a view that there should be a separate carers’ council. But because we’d mobilised and come together on the outside, it just didn’t make sense. So that was a persuasion job with Bill and Jenny, because the bureaucrats were pretty convinced that they should be separate. I remember [the bureaucrats] saying “but carers look after old people” and I thought “well you’re not a carer of someone old until they’re disabled, actually, otherwise you’re just a son or a daughter – you don’t play that carer role until they’re disabled too”, so the topic is still disability. So they then agreed to it being set up in joint services and carers, and then Bill insisted on putting business and unions on. I was very opposed and I said “Oh no, it should just be consumers” and he was proven to be right; they were tremendously valuable – they opened it out, they took it back to their networks, to the business council, to the AICD, to all sorts of places that had never heard of these issues, and the ACTU. It was really valuable, that move to broaden that group out. BB: I think the other thing that we need to give Rhonda credit for is the alliance was her brainchild. This alliance outside government – it’s a world-first. This is the first time anywhere in the world that, the sector having split, as part of the disability rights movement, as a sign of its maturity came together to prosecute the case for big reform. You only get big reform when you’ve got unity and a single voice and a single point of advocacy to government and the community. AD: You were saying earlier that some were pushing to include education in the campaign and other aspects of disability reform that were required, and it was about narrowing it down to one achievable – admittedly ambitious – but one achievable goal. RG: Yes, and the trouble also was a matter of us – Bruce and I – thinking that the NDIS should be the focus, but also we decided to only work on something we could agree on. Education is still reasonably controversial in that some of the carers felt special education was good, and the people with disabilities organisations didn’t agree with that, so we put it off the agenda instead of having another war about content. On the NDIS, everyone agreed. BB: The NDIS was and is a unifying idea because it says the support you will receive is based on your need. It’s no longer based on where you acquired your disability, when you acquired your disability, how you acquired your disability, or what your type of disability is: whether you’ve got autism or cerebral palsy or spina bifida. It says need is the determinant, and that the support you receive is commensurate with that need. So, we were able to work through that – because even within that there was still a lot of debate in terms of language and other issues that we had to get right before we could agree that this was the single issue that we were going to pursue above all others. AD: Can I ask you about the mobilisation, because at one stage – in fact you still have these kind of numbers – 150,000 people reachable by email who then have the flow-on effect of contacting others. The alliance didn’t have a lot of money but it had this incredibly powerful tool at its disposal: the people involved. RG: They were very hot, and still are very, very hot contacts … AD: What do you mean by hot? RG: I mean they’ll take action. I mean they’re not just a contact list where half of them are old and you haven’t cleaned it. I mean this is a hot where people have kept up-to-date, where they’re vitally interested. AD: How have you harnessed this resource? RG: It was absolutely instrumental in getting the scheme. Wouldn’t you agree Bruce? BB: Yeah. RG: Very, very important. And it’s watching – it’s a marvellous check and balance, and it’s watching and anything that would not make the scheme happen in the way that everybody thinks that we’ve signed up for, it’s there, and it’s never before been in my experience, in my life, that I‘ve ever seen disability be a really political issue, a hot political issue. It was in America, but that was the Vietnam veterans that did that and they made the American Disability Act that’s a really powerful act. But in Australia it’s never been but now it is, and I think it’s not going to go away – I think it’s just there, and it’s a really important instrument for all of us. AD: Is it true that 120 House of Representatives MPs were visited by people with disabilities and carers in the lead-up to key decisions being made? BB: I don’t know whether it was 120 but it was certainly of that order. People went to see their MPs, they wrote to them just prior to major COAG meetings; thousands of emails were sent to the prime minister and the premiers … RG: Disability teas, do you remember those? BB: Yes. This was a very active group. It’s worth remembering that at about the time the NDIS campaign – the Every Australian Counts campaign – was running, the miners were also running a campaign against a mining tax. They had millions and millions of dollars. What the NDIS campaign had were people. This was an old-fashioned – in many ways an old-fashioned grassroots campaign – mobilised through social media very, very effectively. RG: I was chairing a hospital at the time and hadn’t mentioned it to my hospital – to the board or the staff – that they might have had any interest – I should’ve – but they came to me and said they were having a disability tea. And so they were everywhere, they were in hospitals, in local governments, in NGOs, in businesses – a lot of businesses had disability teas. There were state co-ordinators that were part of the Every Australian Counts campaign – they did a lot of that work. There was Kirstin, there was John, and then there were the Australian Federation of Disability Organisations, and Carers Australia – a very powerful and important organisation. They’d get it out to their members and they’d all have disability teas so it wasn’t just that 150,000 very warm email contacts of citizens of Australia. They weren’t organisational, it was also all the organisations. BB: And then there were all the people who just told their stories, without any sense of self-pity. They just explained what life was like as a person with a disability, or someone caring for a disability – frankly and openly – and those stories resonated with the Australian public, and the statistics also supported those stories. When we found that in the OECD area, Australia ranked last in terms of people with disability living at or below the poverty line, people said: “In the midst of this great mining boom, we’ve got this?”. So, the sense of, not just shame, but that it can’t be allowed to continue, just spread out from people with disabilities to the community as a whole and culminated in that moment when the government put forward the proposition that the Medicare levy should be increased to fund the NDIS, and 85% of the Australian population said: “we’re happy”. Never before has a tax increase been approved overnight. AD: You referred to John Walsh before, and I don’t want to skip over that because this guy deserves enormous credit. This is somebody who worked at Pricewaterhousecoopers; he was an actuary. He had an accident at the age of 20 when he was playing rugby and became a quadriplegic, and focused as a result on this special skill he had as a number-cruncher and you guys used him throughout the process to shore up the numbers to convince the politicians and the departments that this thing was achievable. BB: This scheme would not have been achieved without John. RG: I agree. BB: His analytical capability, his enormous intellect to apply the actuarial principles to disability as a whole, to get the data, to do the analysis. He was a member of the disability investment group, he was then the other commissioner with Patricia Scott on the Productivity Commission, he’s now on the board of the NDIA and chairs our sustainability committee. His contribution is giant. He worked not just in Australia but in New Zealand so he understood the accident compensation scheme there, he’d worked on most of Australia’s workers compensation and transport accident schemes. His significance is enormous. AD: He came with you both, I understand, to dinner at The Lodge, with Jenny Macklin and Bill Shorten. Have I got that right? How did that dinner go and what happened? BB: We were at a point where this scheme needed true bipartisanship at the tops of all parties … AD: I should say when this happened Julia Gillard was the prime minister … BB: She was the prime minister. The Productivity Commission report had been presented and a number of us got the opportunity to have dinner with her and put the case for why the NDIS should be a priority for her government. Because, at the end of the day, big reforms need prime ministerial approval. AD: Did she need much convincing? BB: I don’t think so. I think she got it. But I think it was very important in the sense of hearing from people who had been deeply involved with the development of the idea. The dinner was not conclusive; we didn’t know what the outcome was. We really put our case. It was actually quite short; the business part of it probably only took about 45 minutes for the key points to be made, and then it went to more general chit-chat. But all of the key points were made. We then waited. Soon thereafter she said: “we’re going to get this thing done”. RG: It was a very quick response after the commissioner’s report. It was about the quickest ever. BB: Yeah, but it was that moment where she said “we’re going to get it done”. And from that point on, the machinery of the Commonwealth government swung fully into action behind the scheme. AD: What does that look like, when it all swings behind you and everyone’s onside and wanting to make it happen quickly? BB: It gets momentum. AD: That word momentum keeps cropping up from this point on … BB: Well I think when you have the prime minister’s department, the Treasury, the Finance Department, the Department of Family and Housing and Community Services, all behind an idea, and they’re the key departments, then it happens. AD: The Medicare levy increased from 1.5 to 2%. How did you manage that? BB: Craig Wallace was very significant in that. He’s the chairman of People With Disability Australia, and so he has always been very influential in disability circles and he wrote an opinion piece on it, and I think that was at a time when the government was thinking through how were they going to fund it. So I think that was certainly influential. I think it’s important to remember that what the Productivity Commission said was that this scheme should be funded out of general revenue, and part of the reason they argued that was because they said this is one of the first things that government should do, it’s like defence. If taxes aren’t going to go up then there are other things at the margin that government should cease doing in order to ensure that this scheme is funded. Their view was this was core government business. RG: I’m just trying to think, though, who did come up with the Medicare levy? I think it is a really interesting question. It might have come out of Jenny Macklin’s office … AD: Well, I remember reading that Jenny Macklin at one stage went to the Expenditure Review Committee [ERC] and, I don’t know how she got away with this, but just coolly asked for A$14 billion over five years to make this happen. She said afterwards it was the biggest thing she ever asked for from the ERC – as you’d kind of hope that that would be the biggest thing she ever asked for – but this is a massive amount of money. RG: But she had a very good case. You make it sound quite casual, whereas she’s a very carefully prepared. She’s a top policy person herself, so she would have had all the i’s dotted and the t’s crossed. AD: So it gathers this momentum, and I remember the announcement that it would be tied to Medicare and there was a little bit of opposition, there was some discussion about it. But what characterised it was how little opposition there was and how quickly the actual opposition, then the Coalition, fell in behind it. BB: I think it’s not fair to say “at that point the opposition fell in behind it”. I think that the opposition, particularly Tony Abbott and senator Mitch Fifield, understood this scheme and its significance from very, very early on, so the bipartisanship began much earlier. And I think what they grasped was that it was not just a social policy reform, but it was an economic reform, and it was about equity, and about opportunity. And this is about equality of opportunity for people with disabilities, and it was about equity for them and their families. And so there was a basis for that emerging bipartisanship. And one of the things that we knew already at the time of the disability investment group was that this reform was probably going to take seven years in terms of introducing it, that it was going to be a long period of time, therefore it was going to go across multiple governments and so had to win the support of all parties and all governments, both federal and state. AD: Rhonda, when did you know that you’d won the support of Tony Abbott? RD: There was a systematic program of approaching and talking, and I met with Mitch Fifield quite often and he had supported it – he’d been very clear. But I bumped into Tony Abbott in the street in Sydney, and I said to him: “Mr Abbott, I’m hearing you’re supporting the NDIS and I’m so pleased”. And he said: “Well normally I’m Mr No, but on this occasion I’m Mr Yes”. And so I had a Press Club appearance about two weeks later and I quoted it. He then picked it up and quoted it everywhere. So it became his phrase! I’ve met millions of politicians over a long, long life – because I’m quite elderly by now – and a lot you don’t get past the goalposts because there isn’t that groundswell. Medicare had a groundswell, which was pretty good for its day when you think about it; this was about 50 times bigger than the Medicare groundswell. And I don’t think a politician in Australia could deny it. AD: Rhonda Galbally, a board member of the National Disability Insurance Agency, and before her, Bruce Bonyhady, the chairman of that same organisation.

“Karanlık sisli bir gece… Lanetli ve karanlık manastırda kütüphaneci Malachi, bastıramadığı bir merak içerisinde… Yaşlı Jorge ortalarda yokken aklındakini gerçekleştirmeli mi? Yavaşça ilerliyor, gizli bölme buralarda bir yerde olmalı… Evet işte orada, etrafına bakınarak yavaşça gizli şifreyi giriyor. Her yer çok sessiz, aslında manastır bir süredir oldukça karışık, içinde büyük korku var… Manastırda işlenmiş cinayetleri çözmek için gelen eski bir sorgucu William’ın da gözü kütüphanenin üzerinde... Tüm bunlar zihninde dolaşırken yavaşça merdivenlerden çıkıyor. Gizli bölüm boş, hızlıca rafları inceliyor, işte aradığı tam elinin altında, Aristoteles’in Poetika’sının yasaklı cildi. Karşı koyamıyor, kitabı eline alıyor, kitap ne kadar da eski ama bir o kadar özenle saklandığı belli, acaba William’ın bahsettiği gibi komedi üzerine mi? Eldivenini takıyor, sayfaları çevirmeye başlıyor ve…” Ortaçağ İtalya’sında bir manastır… Yedi günlük bir zaman dilimi çerçevesinde işlenen cinayetler ve onları çözmeye çalışan bir Frensisken ve eski sorgucu William, yardımcısı Adso… Tarihsel gerçeklere uygun bir şekilde kurgulanan bir eser; karşınızda Gülün Adı (Name of The Rose). 1980 yılında Umberto Eco tarafından kaleme alınan roman ve 1986 yılında çekilen film sizi Ortaçağ’a doğru kısa bir yolculuğa çıkarıyor; ruhban sınıfının gücünü ölçüsüz bir şekilde kullandığı, skolastik düşünce yapısının egemen olduğu, kilise-devlet-tarikatlar arası çekişmelerin yaşandığı bir döneme… Manastır kütüphanesi etrafında gelişen olaylar zinciri ve dinsel hoşgörüsüzlüğün kütüphaneye olan yansımaları izleyeni oldukça etkiliyor. “Gençler artık hiçbir şeyi öğrenmek istemiyor, bilim geriliyor, tüm dünya tepetaklak olmuş, körler körleri yönetiyor ve onları uçuruma sürüklüyorlar…” Yazar Umberto Eco eserinde Ortaçağ’daki durumu böyle ifade ediyor. Yazardan söz etmişken; Umberto Eco İtalyan yazar, Bologna Üniversite’sinde akademisyen, Ortaçağ ve Göstergebilim Uzmanı… Romanını kurgularken yapmış olduğu derin tarihi araştırmalardan beslendiğini açıkça ifade ediyor. Bu sayede okuyucularına polisiye bir romanın yanı sıra tarihin izlerini de sunuyor. Umberto Eco, Gülün Adı adlı kitabı yazarken tarihi olaylardan faydalanmış. “Eski bir sorgucu olan William, yardımcı Adso ile başrahibin odasında… Son birkaç gün içerisinde kardeş olarak tabir ettikleri değerli rahipler teker teker ölmüş. Başrahip bunun bir lanet olduğu kanısında ama William’a göre bunun ötesinde bir sır olmalı… İpuçlarını bulmalı, öncelikli olarak da kütüphaneyi incelemeli… Ama nasıl?” Eserde manastır kütüphanesi en iyi korunan yerlerden biri. Kütüphaneci ve yardımcısı haricindeki diğer kişilerin kütüphane okuma salonu dışındaki diğer bölümlere girişi yasak. El yazması eserler keşişler tarafından yazılıyor, çoğaltılıyor fakat bir eseri yazan keşişin yazılan diğer kitaplar hakkında en ufak bir bilgisi yok. "Tinsel bir labirent olduğu kadar, dünyasal bir labirenttir o. İçeri girebilirsiniz, ama dışarı çıkamazsınız." Kütüphane böyle betimleniyor. Labirent şeklinde tasarlanmış olan kütüphaneye izinsiz giren kişinin çıkması imkânsız. "Finis Africae" olarak adlandırılan gizli bir bölmede saklanan yasaklı kitap (Aristo’nun "Poetika" isimli eserinin kayıp olan ikinci cildi) herkesten saklanıyor. Özellikle yaşlı Jorge bu konuda çok katı. Kitabın varlığını inkâr ederek inandıramadığı keşişler için başka düşüncelere sahip. Bu kitap asla okunmamalı, acı dolu yaşaması gerekirken komedi içeren bu cildi kimse eline geçirmemeli. Tek bilinmesi gereken dinin öğretileri; bilim ilerlememeli, inanç sarsılmamalı. Eserde işlenen bu tema oldukça ilgi çekici çünkü kitap ve bilgiye erişim karşısındaki bu tutum değişik yüzyıllarda farklı kültürlerde karşılaşılan bir durum olma özelliğine sahip. Çin İmparatoru Qin Şi Huang'in M.Ö. 212 yılında ülkedeki felsefe ve tarih kitaplarından sadece imparator kütüphanesi için bir nüsha bırakarak yaktırması bu durumun yüzyıllar öncesine dayandığına,
