DEJAN STANCER CHAIRMAN

IPM: How have you developed your career?

Vian: I developed my career throughout many years of rigorous and continuous hard work and many sleepless nights. I like to point out that the path of an artist is no walk in the park. There are lots of ups and downs to the artist’s journey and career. If I have to give an analogy it would be like viewing an iceberg, the viewer only sees the tip of the iceberg but doesn’t see how deep and far below the surface it goes. For me my art career of many long years of hard work, painting, working along exhibiting over the decades have gotten me to the point where I am at today.

IPM: How do you cultivate a collector base?

Vian: Same thing, the development of a collector base does also come with time. The art collectors come from all facets of life. Be it, the art fans that follow one’s footsteps and growth and ultimately love my vision and art that I present to the world. I’ve had art collectors from the time I was back in college during my Corcoran days who are still in touch with me till today. On the other hand, I’ve had collectors whom I don’t know at all, collect and acquire my work at the galleries that I exhibit at. So, there is really no recipe. I believe wholeheartedly as an artist that art should speak on its own to the viewer and collector, and good art does that! I’ve recently had embassies acquire artwork of mine so the collector is not necessarily an individual who wants to put my art up on their house walls, it can go beyond that. I’ve also had international museums acquire my art as well. Overall, a collectorship can come from different sources. I have observed that it is usually those who keep an eye on my art progress that end up attending the exhibits or contact me personally to acquire some artwork.

IPM: What’s integral to the work of an artist?

Vian: The most integral and fundamental to the work of the artist is to have passion. Love to the art is in my humble opinion the vital element in creating art. Besides the love for the art, a sense of discipline to carry on the path is necessary. Producing art is not for everyone. There are lots of ups and downs and curvy roads throughout the artist’s path and journey. Yet, discipline, perseverance and most importantly love for the craft is at the end what’s going to make the journey better traveled.

IPM: What has been a seminal experience that pertains to your art?

Vian: I believe the seminal and major experiences that have affected my art are not exactly the happiest moments in my life. It is actually the opposite, the hardships and those very difficult life and death situations that I have lived through that caused me to escape into my art to find solace and refuge in the creative world away from the sadness and the morbidity of those difficult times, have affected my art. Art for me is not only a form of self-expression, but it has helped me heal and escape into my own created world. Consequently, art throughout my life’s ups and downs has always been not only a creative outlet but a source of mediation and escape.

IPM: What do you want your art to say to people?

Vian: I feel that my art presents me as a visual storyteller where people can through viewing the art and its titles enter my own world be it a day by the sea where you can observe the seagulls and the birds flying up high, or feel the waves collide and rush to the shore while a gentle touch of light comes through a misty sunset in the distance. I want through my art to say enjoy the simple pleasures of life and nature’s offerings while taking in the beauty of everyday life as it comes.

IPM: Who/what inspired you to get into art?

Vian: I grew up in an art household. As a child and as far as I can

remember, I recall my mother holding a brush, listening to classical music especially Beethoven and making one painting after another.

For me, art runs in my blood. It is hereditary, everyone from my mother’s side of the family is artistic and creative. I was born with this gift and talent, and I was highly encouraged by my family, school and teachers to become an artist. For me, art was not a choice, it was part of who I am, similar to walking and talking.

IPM: What is your style of painting?

Vian: My painting style is an abstract expressionist one with a minimal touch. Also, my work is very painterly which is my signature style – strong brush strokes with blues and purple tones.

IPM: Tell me about the texture in your painting.

Vian: The texture in my paintings is essential. I am a painter, and I am one who believes that the artist’s hand at work should be visible in the artwork. Thus, I execute my paintings in a painterly fashion which is a signature of my style and identity as an artist. Big brush strokes with meaningful colors be it blues, or lavender tones depict some of my latest series that are currently on exhibit in my “Lavender Fields Paintings” series on view in Manhattan, NYC at Lichtundfire “In Full Bloom” art exhibition for the Summer 2021.

IPM: What inspired your recent lavender paintings?

Vian: The lavender fields paintings were inspired by the lavender plant that I planted in my garden at the beginning of COVID times. I had found the plant not only beautiful in its lavender hues but resilient and poignant throughout the seasons. Simply seeing the lavender growing and prospering during this time, gave me an incredible amount of happiness and inner satisfaction. Moreover, lavender farms have become a staple of nearby farms that I have visited and enjoyed while taking in the beautiful landscapes that have also contributed to the lavender painting’s creation.

IPM: Anything you would like to share with our readers who have a dream to pursue art?

Vian: For the readers who have a dream to pursue art, I advise them as an art educator to start off by taking art courses from artists/teachers whose work they admire. Therefore, enrolling in art classes such as drawing, and painting will allow them to learn how to draw freehand which will help them in their path of discovering their inner creativity.

I simply shared my frustration with the “Stay at Home” narrative which was scaring people into barricading themselves inside their homes. My article proved how being without sunshine and fresh air makes you more vulnerable to getting a viral infection. Simply put, I promoted the practice of social distancing, not sunshine distancing.

I also presented research showing the coronavirus doesn’t survive well in sunshine and it can not travel from person to person outside as it does indoors. Scientific evidence shows that UV light from sunshine breaks down the nucleic acid of the virus and also sterilizes

I didn’t receive any correspondence from her. So, I wrote a follow-up article that shared my detailed rebuttal: Click here to read USA TODAY “Fact-Checked” Me!

putting together his hit piece. This included digging into my past, maybe he even called my high school principal? But what I couldn’t understand was, why go after me for recommending sunshine? I decided to do some digging on my own. I followed the money to learn exactly who was financing USA Today and NewsGuard’s attack. Many other doctors were also being targeted for sharing holistic approaches to living healthier and staying safer during the pandemic.

1) In this article, you state that "hundreds of studies" have linked soy to serious health problems, including cancer. The only source you provide is an article [from Huffington Post] by Joseph Mercola, who has repeatedly promoted false health claims and whose own article did not cite any specific studies. Moreover, according to the American Cancer Society, "the evidence does not point to any dangers from

However, if you want a list of scientific references showing the negative effects on unfermented soy, I do include these in my book Food Sanity, which was reviewed and substantiated by the editorial team at Turner Publishing. I would be happy to send you a copy of my book for your perusal. However, if NewsGuard will be adding censorship of published books to their list, you guys may want to hire a whole lot more employees and an in-house legal team.

In response to your questions: 1) Regarding Huffington Post, the article from Dr. Mercola appears to be part of their now-defunct contributors program, which ended in 2018 over HuffPost's own concerns about the potential for false information to be published. It is odd that this particular article remains live on the site when many of Dr. Mercola's contributions to HuffPost have since been deleted, and we will be asking them about it.

Bryan summarized, “Within the conditions we’ve tested, the virus in droplets of saliva survives best when indoors and in dry conditions.

The virus dies quickest in the presence of direct sunlight.” At the end of this press briefing, he told people, “Go outside and get some sunshine!” Mr. Gregory, that was the entire basis of my blog post; to keep people from barricading themselves indoors, which is NOT healthy.

Why didn’t NewsGuard share this new evidence as an amendment to their negative review of my article? Or, an even better question is, did you label The United States Homeland Security Department

MY REPLY: Hello John, I didn't realize there was a NewsGuard approved way of removing a sentence from a blog article you’ve deemed untrustworthy. Maybe I missed the memo you sent out with specifics on how falsehood spreaders can redeem themselves? I just checked your website and I don’t see any approved way to prep for your anti-freedom of speech colonoscopy. Could that be because there is none?

Beyond that, the NIH states that soy’s possible role in breast cancer is uncertain and advises that, ‘women who have or who are at increased risk of developing breast cancer or other hormone-sensitive conditions (such as ovarian or uterine cancer) should be particularly careful about using soy. ” Mr. Gregory, that certainly goes against NewsGuard’s approved views on soy. I double dare you to give CNN’s website a red flag and label them untrustworthy as you did mine.

And while you’re at it, be sure and red flag BreastCancer.org for stating “Females adding a medium amount of soy to their diets turns

“The research you cited was on the effects of sunlight on SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces, not in humans, which does not back your article's assertion that ‘getting more sunshine is a proactive step we can all take at protecting ourselves from the current coronavirus outbreak.’ " It most certainly does back up my “assertion” on why being outside makes you less prone to getting infected. I never said that sunshine was a cure for people suffering from COVID-19. I clearly made a case for how the virus thrives indoors and is destroyed by sunshine and fresh outdoor air.

Here’s Homeland Security’s research overview:

---------MY CLOSING THOUGHTS:

When I was growing up, we had Encyclopedia Britannica books to learn from. Never did an encyclopedia policeman arrive at our door to tear out pages that were deemed “untrustworthy.” The encyclopedia was an unbiased resource providing us with basic overviews of topics to expand our knowledge. Today’s encyclopedia is Google, YouTube, and social media. Unfortunately, all of these platforms are bought and paid for by vested interest groups that want to delete anyone’s views that jeopardize their financial profits.

I believe our freedom of speech is the greatest gift of American culture. We are a nation of diversity: republicans and democrats, Christians and atheists, animal rights activists and hunters, etc. That’s what makes living in America so wonderful! We have the freedom to explore

all sides and make our own informed decisions.

I kindly request an amended green light grade, or at the very least, an addendum sharing this new evidence that has come to light (pun intended.) It most certainly substantiates what I stated. My article did not advocate people not take medication, nor did I bash vaccines or go on an anti-mask rant. I simply shared my opinion (which is what BLOG posts are for,) along with evidence on why sunshine and fresh air is healthier for protecting ourselves from the virus than staying indoors. Either prove to me otherwise or be the unbiased guardian of truth and justice you claim to be and include these substantiated findings (without your biased spin) as an update to the “stay away” warning label you placed on my website.

THIS MASSIVE HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATION IS GOING LARGELY UNNOTICED AROUND THE WORLD.

Project Karma

was established in 2016, to focus on combating child sex exploitation. Project Karma is based in Melbourne, Australia but works to combat child sex exploitation both within Australia and in key regions of South East (SE) Asia where the majority of these crimes occur.

SUPPORT PROJECT KARMA

Since it started, Project Karma has relied on donations from individuals as its main source of funding, and we still rely enormously on individual donations. Any amount, however small, helps us to protect vulnerable children.

If you are interested in fundraising or volunteering your time (particularly if you are based in Melbourne, Bali or Cebu) or have a company that you believe would be able to provide pro-bono support for Project Karma’s activities, then please contact Project Karma at admin@projectkarma.org.au.

What is BioHacking?

Biohackers are individuals who believe in experiencebased knowledge. Their mindset is, “Show me the research and then let me try it for myself.”

B

Iohacking is taking full control of your biology. If you’ve pursued ways to improve your health, that’s biohacking. But, it’s more than just putting butter in your coffee every morning or taking a daily vitamin. Biohacking is the desire to understand the body and mind you’ve been given and using everything at your disposal — cuttingedge technology, tools, and science — to become the best version of yourself.

Why Biohacking?

Biohacking is more than just reading mindless self-improvement tips. It is understanding the why behind how you’re feeling, thinking, and performing. Knowing the “why” empowers you to not only biohack your body, but to make impactful changes to your overall health and well-being. At LifeVantage, we live for finding the “why” through relentless research, experimentation, and technology.

Biohackers are individuals who believe in experience-based knowledge. Their mindset is, “Show me the research and then let me try it for myself.”

Learn to pay attention to how you’re feeling. There is always something tangible that’s affecting your daily ability to be awesome. Instead of simply accepting aches, ailments, and exhaustion as part of growing old, start to question those setbacks. With the “biohacker mindset,” you’re not eschewing traditional medicine, you’re just figuring out what works best for you.

You’re actively seeking out a healthier lifestyle.

And for that, your future self will thank you.

With all this in mind, the real question you should be asking is…why not biohack?

A Healthier Day Starts with the Essentials Consider Activated Essentials your daily health tune up. It’s just like maintaining your car, except it won’t cost you an arm and a leg. Protandim® Nrf2 Synergizer™ keeps the rust off your cells, Protandim® NRF1 Synergizer™ makes sure you get all the power you can out of your engine, and ProBio is the fuel additive that keeps your motor clean and running efficiently. Three amazing products. One incredible system.* https://heidedangelo.lifevantage.com/

Healthier Digestion. Better Results.

When it comes to weight management and digestive health, sometimes your gut is wrong. Science, on the other hand, is usually spot on. And according to research, a healthy digestive system needs the right amount of beneficial bacteria to help you feel better and break through dieting plateaus.

ProBio is science’s answer to gastrointestinal health, giving you the right balance of probiotics and immune system support to keep your body on track.* In fact your gut could win awards (if it wasn’t too humble to even consider entering a contest). It comes with a wide range of healthy benefits that include:

Benefits •

6 Billion CFUs of beneficial bacteria to support your digestive system ‡

•

Provides beneficial bacteria to maintain a healthy gut flora *

• • •

Helps maintain gut integrity *

Safely enhances your immune system *

Features a unique controlled-release technology, delivering probiotics throughout the day and deep into your digestive system — where they are needed most * Helps improve tight junctions and the communication between your brain and gut to help signal that you are full *

The Science Behind Smart Probiotics Maintaining the balance of good bacteria in your gut is important to maintaining good mental and physical health. That’s why LifeVantage chose naturally derived probiotics delivered by BIO-tract controlled-release technology to give you the support you need. Combined with clinically proven Wellmune to encourage optimal immune system health, LifeVantage ProBio uses the natural potency of probiotics to support your journey of uncovering a healthier self.

ProBio delivers 6 Billion CFUs of beneficial bacteria‡ and each strain of bacteria has a unique benefit. Probiotics are measured in Colony Forming Units (CFU), which is a measurement of the live and active bacteria in each serving of a probiotic supplement. Using a broad array of probiotic strains provides you with a spectrum of benefits for your gut. More is not always better — especially when it comes to probiotics. Having a balanced amount of probiotics that are alive when they arrive in your gut is more important than the quantity you ingest. That’s why ProBio uses BIOtract controlled-release technology to deliver live probiotics deep into your small and large intestine.*

G I T T E RANDRUP Copyright by Gitte Randrup

A new year has arrived, and maybe this is causing you to reflect on your management style. Do you spend a lot of time managing upward and downward, and cooperating sideways, but less time reflecting on your own values? Maybe only a few percent? If you simultaneously find that you aren’t achieving the results you want, you may benefit from a more values-based leadership. Consequently, you may find it easier to manage in the future.

GR Consult has talked to coach and communication advisor Anette Riis of ABBC, Alpha Business Coaching & Communication, on how to achieve a more authentic managerial style. She recommends that you start by considering the following to find, prioritize, and clarify your values.

What do you want your core duties to be?

Begin with a walk-and-talk with yourself to reflect on what is important for you, and what your situation is currently. Some managers have both the personnel and project manager role; it can be difficult to balance them according to preferences and interests.

HR BUSINESS PARTNER, BLOGGER, CONSULTANT/RECRUITER, Therefore, ask yourself whether they’re balanced according to what you favor, and if one of them takes up too much time. How can you find the right balance so that work is fun?

Why are your own values so important?

As mentioned, a managerial job requires various functions. When they are busy carrying out these functions, a lot of leaders ignore their own values. It’s not atypical for bosses to spend 0-2% of their time on finding out what they want out of the role, says Riis. However, according to the book “Birth of the Chaordic Age” by Dee Hock, you need to use 50% of your time on your own values and approxi-

mately 5% on managing downward (when you’re clear, your reports become skilled). When you find your own ground or core, it’ll be much easier for you to manage others because you’ll be specific about who you are. Maybe you worry that you’ll need to spend half of your time immersed in yourself. While you don’t have to do that, you do have to become aware of your priorities on an ongoing basis Riis reminds us that we rarely possess all the competencies we’d like to have. However, as a manager, you have the possibility of letting some of your reports complement you. If you’re not a detailoriented person, and if you prefer to use a broad brush, then find someone to take care of the details. Then focus on the tasks in which you excel.

What motivates and develops you? What steals your energy? fun at work. This is probably what gives you energy as well. What has

Maybe you’d like to have an everyday working life in which your employees engage more with you. If you want this, you may choose “trust” as one of your values. Afterward, you consider how to obtain this, says Riis. What should you do differently when managing?

If you decide you should be more present, then you

what gives you energy and the reverse—when tasks drain you. After some time, you’ll be able to see a pattern.

You can also ask others how they perceive you when you do your best, worst, etc. It’s a good idea to have your colleagues’ perspective, as they see the blind spots that you don’t see yourself. However, be aware that they probably won’t tell you the complete truth due to their relationship with you.

Does your HR department offer personality tests? This can also be a starting point for discovering and talking about the traits that characterize you and those that don’t.

What do you want your own managers to say about you when you’re not present?

Do you want your executives to see you as a visionary manager? If this is your goal, you don’t want them to think that you aren’t painting the big picture for your department or group. In this case, you must consider what to do in order to get there. Have you become like a caseworker because your need for control leaves you with less time for visionary thoughts? Or is it your ideal that you, as a personnel manager, must listen to every one of your reports’ personal challenges? Take a look at what you want others to say about

you and compare this to your behavior. Do you walk the talk?

Which values don’t match your managerial position?

Maybe one of your values is a high degree of work quality, which elicits admiration among others and for which you get credit. But if this results in double-checking your reports to a large extent, it’s too much. Also, this will, all other things being equal, result in a lack of time for other important managerial duties. If you control other people’s work a lot, start to think about if there really is a reason to

NEED TO RENT A HR BUSINESS PARTNER? NEED A BETTER ON BOARDING PROCESS? NEED HELP WITH RECRUITING PEOPLE?

do it. Of all the tasks the person in question solves, how many of them have a quality eligible for double checks? Is it worth the time and effort compared to the quality, or would your time be better spent on other duties? And why do you need to control other people’s work? Here, it’s important to hold control against trust, says

you used to skip? Will you invite your reports to engage in more oneon-one conversations? You should be very practical in this. If it’s difficult to find out what kind of actions the value must result in, maybe you haven’t defined the value accurately enough.

What are your personal values?

It’ll also be beneficial to simultaneously look at your personal values.

Even as a manager, your personality shines through. Therefore, Riis recommends that you ask yourself the following questions to clarify your personal values.

Which occurrences turned your life upside down? When did you develop the most?

To find out, Riis suggests that you think back and find 10 situations—

for example, from your childhood to now—that have made an impression on you. Such incidents can help us get to the bottom of what’s important. You may tell the stories to somebody who knows you but doesn’t know you too well. Ask the other person to come up with questions so that you can find out what it is that makes you remember that situation. Maybe you remember a time when you were on vacation with your family and you had an accident, which was a big shock for you. Think about how you reacted to the situa-

that arises with E-Commerce shops, but once these problems are solved- business quickly picks up and is back to normal Since the beginning of the pandemic, businesses have adjusted and adapted to the new E-Commerce world.

“Businesses are ready now more than ever, if one thing came out of the pandemic it is that a business can be created, run, and operated from the comfort of your home” James says. Many online businesses began during the pandemic as many people were out of work and left to entertain and keep busy.

The ideas and aspirations of starting a business or a side project were finally able to come out and in turn many unique services and products surfaced the internet.

What does this mean for retail stores?

“Retail Stores are still essential, people are still looking to go into a store; shop, try on clothes, look at a selection- that experience is not ending, but E-Commerce is going to be equally as big. People love convenience, so for every retail store; an online presence is also important. Say a person is traveling and stops in a specialty fragrance store, they love the product they purchased but now cant purchase again unless they visit that city again. The business just lost a life-long customer. The best way to fix this problem is to have an E-Commerce site where products can be purchased and shipped anywhere in the country or in the world!” James Khuri says.

What does this mean for investors?

James Khuri responds, “For the past 20 years my focus has been on commercial real estate, I have put my efforts, money, and time into investing in spaces where businesses can grow, host, and have a place for work. The thought of E-Commerce being the wave of the future at first was a bit scary to me, but you have to move with the changes or else you will get left behind. Taking on this new challenge and seeing it as an opportunity is how I believe every investor should approach ECommerce. Since it is somewhat a new industry and only going to be growing bigger and bigger it is a great time to invest. Understanding what is sustainable in the E-Commerce world is of the utmost importance. Sustainability in the E-Commerce space can look like diverse offerings, innovative technology, or unique services. Investing in the ECommerce space is a great way to diversify your investments and invest in the future. Every day more and more people are looking to purchase online and start an online business so allocating money to these spaces will be very beneficial.” james.khuri.1

help. So it’s a great networking opportunity. Most of all you get to do a good turn for an organization in need in your community.

What else can you do if you want to get your ducks in a row before making the big leap?

Go to networking events where you can schmooze with business owners in other industries and media influencers. Develop a data base of names, connect on LinkedIn and stay connected. Nurture those relationships.

Consider working with a few individual clients. They may not be able to pay as much as a corporation but you actually start getting a sense of what people and small business owners want and need. Where will your skills fit best?

Develop a web presence. A simple website using the WordPress platform is fine and usually inexpensive. If you’re not online today you don’t exist as a business owner. Write a blog. An article every week to two weeks starts building your street cred and people start noticing. I post mine here on my blog and on LinkedIn almost every week. Have a Facebook fan page. Post
