In 1998 Bags (Bagally) woke up and felt like painting – nothing in particular, just buying a brush and painting. And something clicked.Painting became his passion and Policing began to take a back seat. Bags loved being totally absorbed in what he was painting where he thought of nothing else. Knowing very little about art & its history, Bags educated himself through reading books, listening to arty CD's and when he eventually retired from Policing, the transition to Painter was smooth sailing.Bags is now a renowned landscape and seascape painter, is an exhibiting member on the Council of the Victorian Artists Society, the Watercolor Society of Victorian, the Australian Guild of Realist Artists and the Contemporary Art Society & National Vice President and Treasurer of the Australian Society of Marine Artists to name a few.

Welcome to Start the Week, our Monday scene-setter for the week ahead.In today's audio-led edition, Seven West Media and News Corp lobby for government help on funding; households make the switch to ad-funded tiers, and we look ahead to the final upfront events of the year.If you've been thinking about upgrading to an Unmade membership, this is the perfect time. Your membership includes:* A complimentary ticket to all of Unmade's events, including Unlock (this Thursday October 31), Compass (across November), HumAIn (Q2 2025) and REmade (Q3 2025);* Member-only content like this post; and all of our paywalled archives;* Your own copy of Media Unmade. Fighting disinformation by funding news: Media bosses stop up the rhetoric; Ad-supported TV back in vogueAfter last week's softener from the Joint Select Committee on Social Media and Australian Society, Australia's big media players are moving into lobbying overdrive. Seven will argue this week that the giant digital platforms are a force for evil; while News Corp's boss is arguing that the little end of town cannot be the solution.Instead, Seven and News Corp are lobbying for the government to support the not-too-big, not-too-small Goldilocks solution of companies like, well, Seven and News Corp.As the Australian reports, the editor-in-chief of Seven West Media, Anthony De Ceglie, will tomorrow use a Melbourne Press Club speech to attack the platforms including Elon Musk's X, and Mark Zuckerberg's Meta, saying: “Elon Musk doesn't care about the truth. In fact, he revels in peddling lies and boasts about using his bin fire of a site to influence the US election.“Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg is seemingly happy for Meta to profit off the page impressions that child sex offenders create when they routinely use his site to prey on their next victim.“Against these evil forces — and calling them that is not an exaggeration — there is only one true antidote. The news. The truth. The fourth estate.”De Ceglie will also champion the idea of a tax break for producing news and current affairs content.And News Corp's executive chairman Michael Miller argues in The Australian today that the government should try to force Meta to go on supporting the big media players it did deals with three years ago:“The government is at risk of abandoning the engine rooms of Australian news, which is where the bulk of the jobs are and where the bulk of important Australian stories are told,” he said.“The parliament's primary focus should be those deals Meta has walked away from.As well as discussing De Ceglie and Miller's arguments, today's edition of Start the Week examines new numbers from Kantar which suggest a big jump in household penetration of ad-supported streaming services - up from 10% of homes to 25% in just a year; and looks across the agenda of media events over the next couple of weeks.Further reading:* The Australian: Seven boss Anthony De Ceglie slams government for not supporting media* The Australian: News Corp boss Michael Miller urges government to prioritise survival of mainstream media outlets* Unmade: Landing lights glimmer for a digital levy to fund news* Mi3: Meta barked, Australia blinked: News Bargaining Code to be shelved as Feds prepare possible digital ad tax* The Australian: Viewers are increasingly signing up to streaming services with advertising, Kantar research showsToday's episode features Tim Burrowes and Abe Udy.Editing was courtesy of Abe's Audio, the people to talk to about voiceovers, sound design and podcast production.Time to leave you to start your week.

In this episode, colored pencil artist and instructor Paco Martin shares how he came to colored pencils after first using graphite and pastels. Paco embarked on his artistic journey with self-taught techniques but soon realized the need for formal training. He initially explored oils and was also drawn to pastels.  However, he found his true artistic voice in colored pencil. It's a medium he feels allows him the greatest expression and realism. Paco's artistic style is meticulous, influenced by his strong background in Mathematics. He experiments with shapes, textures, volumes, and compositions, often incorporating geometric designs and the golden ratio into his work.  Over the years, Paco has built an international network of artist friends, learning from them while also contributing to the community. One of his major goals is to popularize colored pencil art in Spain, where he feels the medium hasn't received the recognition it deserves. Paco has earned significant awards and recognition from a variety of esteemed art associations. These include the Australian Society of Coloured Pencil Artists (AUSCPA), the Pencil Art Society, the Colored Pencil Society of America (CPSA), the UK Colored Pencil Society (UKCPS), the Colored Pencil Artists and Lovers (CPCAU), and the International Guild of Realism (IGOR).   He continuously challenges himself to capture the nuanced beauty of everyday life, believing that he still has much to achieve as an artist.

She will distinguish Domestic Violence and Domestic Silence (neglect/emotional disconnection) and talk about the negative effects on either for children or adults.While today does not talk about NT or ND, this sets the stage for other podcasts on the topic of trauma and safety.About Dr. Johanna Lynch:Dr. Johanna Lynch is a GP psychotherapist and senior lecturer with The University of Queensland's General Practice Clinical Unit. She has spent the last 15 years of her 25-year career as a GP caring for adults who are survivors of childhood trauma and neglect. This practical clinical work of being with those in our community who are often marginalized, misunderstood, and categorized with multiple mental health diagnoses has led her to search for approaches to the whole person that is applicable across disciplines. She has pioneered approaches that actively work against the fragmentation caused by trauma. She is a clinical advisor to a domestic and family violence program with Brisbane South PHN and to Blue Knot Foundation and is president of the Australian Society for Psychological Medicine, which educates, supports, and champions GPs and allied health providers who offer complex whole-person care. Her Ph.D., entitled Sense of Safety: a whole person approach to distress in primary care, sought to integrate trauma-informed care into primary care approaches to the whole person. Her clinical and academic work champions the sophisticated craft of generalism – integrating social science and biomedicine. Her work has received international acclaim from primary care researchers as a paradigm change in approaches to people in distress. It integrates lived experience and Indigenous wisdom with transdisciplinary scientific insights from trauma, attachment, social determinants of health, neurobiology, psychophysiology, and psychoneuroimmunology. This work has been published in a peer-reviewed academic book: A Whole Person Approach to Wellbeing: Building Sense of Safety (2021).Links:https://www.senseofsafety.com/https://www.drjohannalynch.com/Disclaimer:When we have guests on the ASR podcast, they are recognized for their expertise on autism as an advocate, self-advocate, clinicians, parents, or other professionals in the field.

Michael Goldblatt is a Medical Director at Glo Clinical Hypnosis, a clinical hypnosis practice based in North Adelaide, Australia where he helps clients live their best lives and attain their full potential by combining the art of hypnotic suggestion with the science of change. They focus on helping people overcome challenges like anxiety, stress, panic attacks, phobias, smoking recession, weight management, OCD behaviors, coping with emotional traumas, and improving academic and sports performance. Before discovering medical hypnosis, Michael obtained a medical degree in anesthetics from the Flinders University of South Australia. He is a member of the Australian Society of Psychological Medicine, a Board Member of the South Australian Society of Hypnosis, and a registered practitioner with the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA). Michael joins me today to share his introduction to the world of hypnosis and the transformational moment that turned him into a believer in the hypnosis profession. We discuss how he began integrating hypnosis techniques into his career as an anesthesiologist and his perspective on the differences between hypnosis and hypnotherapy. We discuss how Michael uses peri-operative hypnosis strategies to help patients permanently overcome their fears and phobias around surgeries. We discuss whether surgery patients are still open to hypnotic suggestions, even while under anesthesia, and why it's crucial for medical professionals to carefully choose the words and language they use with a patient before and after a surgical procedure. We also discuss how medical hypnosis and positive hypnosis suggestion has allowed Michael to reduce the amount of anesthesia his patient typically receives and how he describes hypnosis to other medical professionals. Get instant access to my entire hypnotherapeutic training library and discover the secrets of confident, creative, and flexible hypnosis.
