Advancing Public Goods
Edited by Jean-Philippe Touffut
Chapter 3: Services of General Interest in a Competitive Multinational Space
Philippe Herzog
Philippe Herzog INTRODUCTION There is broad universal consensus that Europe should develop and provide public goods. However, the context in which Europe must create and provide such goods is far from favourable. It is shaped by economic and financial globalization, the information technology revolution and a crisis within the political system. Indeed, the ability of the European political system to define and organize public goods has become very problematic. Consequently, the fundamental question of the creation and provision of public goods in a multinational, competitive space is as urgent as it is evident. A secular European politics adapted to its epoch must be able to show what the version of greatness is, as far as that politics is specifically concerned, that it has in mind. (Sloterdijk, 2003) If a Europe of public goods is to come into being, this will require more than a series of pacts limited to competitiveness and fiscal and regulatory competition. Values of sharing and interactivity must become common projects. Fundamental rights must be acknowledged, which unite players in the field around multinational services of general interest (SGIs). European regulation of cross-border networks must be established. The role of information – revolutionized by technology – in developing interactively the capacities of Europe's population must be grasped. Yet these imperatives are certainly incompatible with both the current capitalist and state hold on information systems and the closed nature of educational systems within the European Union. In this chapter, we explore the practical and philosophical implications of European...

I just learned I'll be directed by world-renowned contemporary video artist, Bill Viola, on his next project, and I couldn't be more excited. Anyone who knows his work knows that the image above is iconic Viola, from "An Ocean Without A Shore."
Here's a short video by the Tate that shows this 2007 exhibit in motion along with Bill explaining the vision behind it and the cutting edge technology they used to make it. Take a look--it's SO cool.
The as-yet-untitled piece I've been cast in was commissioned by no less than the Church of England, will be a collection of the Tate and will live in permanent installation at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. The piece will span the entire life of Mary, mother of Jesus, from her life as a young woman to old age, through the Annunciation to her Assumption to Heaven. I'll play Mary's cousin, Elizabeth, from the time she herself is pregnant with John the Baptist through Mary's Assumption.
We start shooting next week in a beautiful location in Ojai, California. Per Wikipedia: "Bill Viola's exhibition profile, which includes the National Gallery, London, Guggenheim Berlin, Guggenheim New York, Whitney Museum of American Art, Getty Los Angeles, California, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York marks him as a major contemporary artist."

Of Doing the Hard Stuff...
Today we had the honor and blessing of attending a Celebration of Life service held by the hospice that PJ spent his final days. That place became our home away from home for 12 days. It was at a beautiful church here in town, one that I had never seen other than in passing. There was music by members of one of our local founding families (the Ronstadts), reading of all the names of those in their care who had passed on between March & June (over 500), and candles lit by each of us there to represent our loved ones and the release of doves as a trio sang "I'll Fly Away". It was truly beautiful.
I didn't want to go, but I'm so glad I did.
That's right, I didn't want to go. It feels like the final formal goodbye. To top it off, today was the day we got his legacy letter stating what had been accomplished in the first month of his whole body donation. So many things his donation is helping with, and it was his desire for that...no matter what the research. Simply put...today has just been hard. The days have been hard. The less busy I am, the harder they become...and that is ok, it can't be avoided and needs to be processed. More will come - and that's ok too.
Yet, I wonder if the day will come I don't touch things he touched looking for echoes of his fingerprints?
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort." 2 Corinthians 1:3

Dear Jesus Lover,
continuing on from the theme of soaking in the culture yesterday, Jesus is off to the Pinacoteca di Brera . A lovely art gallery that used to be an old convent. He knew that there was always better uses to convents than storing nuns.
Parking his bicycle.
Like all things Milanese, plain on the outside, fabulous on the inside! Follow the arrows!
Nothing new. Walking the convent corridors and looking down on his children.
Although The Messiah again was not allowed to photographs his doings on the inside, no trip to a museum is complete without a visit to the gift shop.
Frivolous spending at the gift shop.
Jesus got postcards of his favourite paintings from the gallery. On the right another Last Supper by Rubens. Not quite as good as Da Vinci's. No knot, no ripple effect and they may have broke the bread too early. On the left The Kiss by Francesco Hayez shows 2 lovers kissing with a shadow lurking on the left. Don't you hate peeping Toms! Other works that took him down memory lane included the marriage of his mother and The Holy Conversation.
If you send an email with your name (real or one made with good fakery) and your mailing address to firstname.lastname@example.com the Little Messiah will send out one of these postcards to you. He loves buying useless crap for his children.
Afterwards he enjoyed a leisurely lunch at Obika. It may be a chain but it is no McDonalds!
This is how the last supper should have gone down.
Rock On,
Wheeze & SQueak

After several calls by Member of the European Parliament Marietje Schaake (D66/ALDE) the European Parliament will tomorrow call on High Representative Federica Mogherini to define an EU strategy to end the ongoing humanitarian disaster in Yemen.
Schaake: "The situation on the ground in Yemen is spiralling out of control. The United Nations have already reported that more than ten thousand have died, two million children are malnourished and three million people have become refugees. The EU has to take action to end the war and the humanitarian crisis. Especially now President Trump continues to undermine the US credibility in the region. An EU strategy is a must."
Arms embargo Saudi Arabia
The Saudi led coalition is responsible for the largest number of civilian casualties in Yemen. Schaake has repeated her call from February 2016 to put in place an arms embargo against Saudi Arabia: "The United Kingdom, France and Germany continue to supply arms to Saudi Arabia, while this country entices terrorism and flagrantly violates human rights. The consequences for Yemen are disastrous. An EU wide arms embargo has to be put in place as soon as possible."
Mutual interests
An unambiguous strategy for Yemen is also in the EU's interest. Yemen is strategically located along a mayor shipping line in the Gulf of Aden. Schaake: "Several naval mines have already been removed from the Yemeni coast this year. Furthermore, the bombardments and drone strikes by the Saudi-led coalition are fuelling the expansion of radical movements including Al-Qaida. Meanwhile Iran's influence in the region is on the rise, by militarily and politically supporting the Houthi movement in Yemen. An EU strategy is not only necessary but also in our common interest."
Schaake furthermore calls for the appointment of an EU Special Representative, and for international cooperation in order to prosecute those who are committing war crimes. Financial support for the reconstruction of Yemen, when a peace deal is in place, can be used as leverage to get the different parties in the conflict back to the negotiating table.

By: Thomas Jones, Staff Reporter
On Friday, Sept. 22 Regis University hosted a presentation entitled "War Against War: The American Fight for Peace, 1914-1918." Those in attendance consisted of both Regis students and professors as well as many community members who came from various places in and near Denver to see the presentation.
The event kicked off at 7 P.M. It started with a short introduction by a representative from the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities, who worked in conjunction with Regis to put on this presentation. The representative spoke on the center's new exhibit, "Art & Conflict," which seeks to understand the effects war and conflict has on society and humanity by exploring art and artists within these periods. He also spoke specifically on the portion of the exhibit titled "The Great War: Visions of a World Conflict," which looks at posters and propaganda used during World War I.
After the representative from the Arvada Center finished his introduction, the presenter took to the podium. His name was Michael Kazin; he's a Georgetown professor of history specializing in politics and social movements. His main area of focus is anti-war movements, of which, he's written many books about. His latest book shares the same title as the presentation he gave, "War Against War: The American Fight for Peace, 1914-1918." His presentation derives its content and information from his book, speaking on World War I anti-war activism.
Kazin started by posing the question, "Why don't Americans care about World War I?" He went on to elaborate his meaning behind the question, asserting that of course, Americans care about WWI in the obvious sense, but in relation to other wars in our, history WWI is often a long ways down our list in terms of importance. He stated that this is vastly different from Europe which has a very large number of WWI memorials in just about every country involved.
One explanation he offered was simply that America didn't get involved in WWI until the last 6 months of the war; because of this, the war didn't have nearly as large of an impact on us as it did to those in Europe which it impacted for years. However, his main explanation for the lack of American recognition of WWI, as well as the main focus of his presentation, was that there was a substantial American anti-war movement for WWI.
His presentation mentioned that one of the main causes of this anti-war movement was the massive immigration the United States was having during the same time as WWI. People from many different European countries were coming over to America. As a result, many people still had mental and emotional allegiances to their countries of origin. This meant that the immigrant population would have very different opinions on which side of the war was the "Right" side, or side that the United States should support. Another reasoning used by many anti-war protesters Kazin mentioned was preparedness. The U.S. at this time did not have a strong military; we only had about 100,000 troops. Many people asserted that we ought not to get into a war with an under-armed and inexperienced military.
Along with those mentioned above, there were many other reasons people within the U.S. were against war; in the end, there was a large variety of people protesting the U.S. military going to Europe to fight. There were several important higher-ups within the United States government opposed to the U.S. going to war, including the president, Woodrow Wilson, for a short while, and, the most popular Democrat in the country at that time, besides the president, William Jennings, who was Wilson's Secretary of State from 1913-1915 and resigned because he felt so strongly the United States shouldn't go to war and he knew that's where Wilson was heading.
Along with these political higher-ups, there were many prominent groups at the time that disagreed with the prospect of going to war. Just a few of these groups were: feminists (who made the war one of their main points of protest in the women's march of 1914), social workers, people within the labor movement, African-Americans, and poor southerners.
Kazin stated that all these people mentioned in the previous paragraph ended up calling on the government to put forth a vote to the citizens of the United States on whether or not the U.S. should join in on the war occurring in Europe. They asserted that it should not just be Congress that votes on and decides whether we as a country go to war but rather the citizenry should have a say in the matter. Kazin commented on this, inquiring that, "It's interesting, we've come a long way as a country where now the President usually declares war and then Congress joins in, from back then where people believed that they ought to have a say on when we go to war."
In the end, of course, the pleading for the vote on our entrance as a country into WWI ended up being fruitless. There was no vote, and the anti-war movement failed since we did end up joining the list of countries fighting in the war. But the historical aspects of this being the first major anti-war movement in our nation's history proved to be a very interesting one. Shown by the response of the audience when Kazin's speech concluded. Questions were being asked for the whole hour and fifteen minutes following the speech. Though questions were still being asked, the presentation was drawn to a close by the Regis employees moderating the event, due to the time allotted for the event having run out. However, many still stayed after the event concluded to personally go and continue talking to Kazin. It proved to be a both well attended, and incredibly informative presentation.

It was clear blue day for Elise & Colin's wedding celebration up in Haverhill this past June and FUN was in the air.
The Bradley and Powers families packed the Sacred Heart Parish for the ceremony and although a wedding ceremony generally speaking is very serious business, this one had more than its fair share of laughs. If you know Colin and Elise, then you know why.
The reception was hosted by DJ Wild Bill and kicked off with some great entrances from the bridal party. Then, the bride and groom brought the noise!
Colin's brother and Elise's sister kept the laughs going with some great toasts and from then on it was a non-stop party. Safe to say this was a fun one. We're excited to share the highlights! Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Bradley!

D.J. Caruso, director of such films as Disturbia and Eagle Eye, has been signed on to direct Jack the Giant Killer, a drama that takes a more adult look at the classic children's story Jack and the Beanstalk.
The New Line Cinema produced film has been written by Mark Bomback (writer of Live Free or Die Hard and the upcoming Race To Witch Mountain) and produced by Neil Moritz (I Am Legend, Click). Here is the synopsis:
When a princess is kidnapped, a long-standing peace between men and giants becomes threatened, and a young farmer is given an opportunity to lead a dangerous expedition to the giant kingdom to rescue her.
As far as I can see this will be live-action which would be equal parts interesting and strange. To me this story would work very well done in some sort of animated form but live-action? That way it has a greater risk of coming off as cheesy, whereas you can get away with a lot more if it's an animated CGI film. Unless news gets released to contradict the presumption, we can only assume it is indeed live action.
But what I do love about the idea is that it puts a darker stamp on what is originally a children's story with a happy ending. I would be quite interested to see what could be done with a darker approach to the story, it definitely has potential to be something very interesting.
However I don't think Caruso is the right man to hand the project to; I didn't like his Rear Window rip-off Disturbia (it took me a few months to calm myself about that one) and although I enjoyed Eagle Eye for the over-the-top fun that it was, it's not exactly a classic. And none of the rest of his body of work suggests he's capable of anything other than cheap thrills and superficiality (in case you're wondering he also did the Seven rip-off Taking Lives and the forgettable Two for the Money - if I'm missing any multi-layered masterpiece from his resume please let me know).
What do you make of Jack the Giant Killer and the fact that Caruso is the one to helm it?

What if the outcome most preferred by the median voter is a poor outcome? Say, Brexit.
All in Politics
What if the outcome most preferred by the median voter is a poor outcome? Say, Brexit.
No true change and reform is straightforward. But markets, in almost all cases, prefer stability and the status quo – what is going on in Malaysia may be anathema to markets.
When it was announced that President Trump would be speaking at Davos, I found myself being unable to gauge what sort of reception the Davos crowd would give to President Trump.
I do not – or at least I try my best not to – choose topics because of strong emotional reactions. This column is different.
If we fail to understand and empathise with those who do not see things the way we do, especially if they are the majority, we create a society that is not sustainable.
Blaming the voter base without understanding why they voted the way they did is arrogant and presumptuous.
This is my third argument on why a depreciating Ringgit is sub-optimal for the Malaysian economy.
have we – our leaders and ourselves – become complacent as we reaped the rewards of Malaysia's remarkable development over the past 58 years?
The federal government should consider the issue of geographic differentiation of policies, particularly in cases where different geographic locations have vastly different attributes.
if we are to be consistent in our principles behind supporting Uber, we must acknowledge as well that those same principles apply to illegal immigrants in Malaysia.
The reason that the election manifestos are so far apart is not because the Median Voter Theorem does not hold but rather, it is because there is incomplete information and different presumptions by both parties as to "who" exactly the Malaysian Median Voter is.
This note does not seek to critique our Ministers' views of the homeless but rather to evaluate the economic rationale on homelessness and the ban on soup kitchens.

People wonder how to switch car insurance if they aren't satisfied with their current one. Furthermore, they might find more beneficial offer and decide to apply for it. In all cases, if you want to change your insurance company, it's possible.
Before canceling your current insurance, you should apply for a new one. If you cancel your current coverage without applying for a new one, you will get coverage gap. In the case of the accident, no one except you will cover it. Furthermore, you can get a ticket for not having a proper insurance.
How long do you have to switch car insurance?
You have to inform your insurance company about your desire to end coverage in one month. Then you have one month to apply for a new policy and adjust it.
How easy is it to switch car insurance?
It's easy to switch car insurance if you do it right. As it was mentioned, you should inform your provider about your decision in one month. If you don't inform a provider and don't pay a premium, it will promptly inform state's DMV that you have no policy. Then it will take a lot of time to prove that you have a policy. Furthermore, you should avoid coverage gaps to omit bills for not having a policy.

Friday, 3/30, 7:30 - 10:30pm (Single Workshop)
Pro-(Positive) Choices - A toolbox contains more than a hammer, so shouldn't your scenes contain more than anger and conflict? Find creative freedom when positive emotional choices drive your scenes. Guide your scenes forward without a need to conjure up an argument, defend your side of the story, or your need to have your ego intact at the scene's end. It's not about winning our losing---it's about keeping the scene alive.
Saturday, 3/31, and Sunday, 4/1, 10:30am - 5:30pm (Weekend Workshop)
A Weekend Workshop Dedicated to "You!" The focus of this master class is to get the actor to set aside all of the unnecessary elements of improv training and replace them with a life-changing awareness of "You being on stage with you."
The most important person on stage is YOU. YOU get to notice what happens, YOU get to be aware of what's inspiring you, YOU get to follow what energizes you, and YOU get to celebrate the surprises that YOU create.
With the two-day YOU masterclass you'll enter the world of personal awareness and presentness, of the excitement of knowing what to do the moment the moment arrives! YOU are in charge, and this workshop will be a study of--and a practice of--you connecting to you.
YOU are the boss of YOU.
Then you get to work it out in performance! A "guided performance," side coached and participated in by David.
The "YOU" "takeaways" will include:
--Owning calm self-awareness at the beginning of your scenes immediately leading you to strong points-of-view.
--Letting go, moving on. The beat feels like it's over...now what? You will always know what's the "now" about your scene.
This will all lead up to you being a strong, confident, courageous actor, producing scenes that will most surprise... you.
Monday, 4/2, 7:30pm - 9:30pm The Guided Performance
All those who take the Sat/Sun Intensive will get to perform in the Monday evening show, The Guided Performance. Performing in a show that's directed by David Razowsky is a special event, particularly when David directs you while you perform. His gentle, direct "side coaching" has proven to benefit all improvisers who've joined him for these "Guided Improv Scenes." This is an hour-long workshop/performance where a cast of actors will be lead through two-person scenes with David keeping the actors focused on their points-of-view, guiding them toward the "shiny objects," following where the scene's heat is and where the scenic surprises live. All this with a live house! The purpose of the Guided Performance is to get the actor up on her feet working the muscles we've built over the time we've been together.

Minibus Hire at Sydney Airport – Domestic & International
If you're travelling to Sydney Airport with a small or large group of people, hiring a minibus is a great option to ensure it's an enjoyable and stress-free experience for everyone.
Make your next trip stress-free!
'Easy' is not a word that usually jumps to mind when trying to organise travel for a group of people in Sydney. Anyone who's ever attempted the task, will know exactly how difficult it can be trying to satisfy every member travelling with the group.
Searching for the most suitable flights and accommodation can be difficult enough, without the added stress of working out how to transport everyone around once you arrive at your destination.
If you rely on taxis, there's a good chance you're going to end up waiting in long queues, before having to separate into multiple cars with potentially sub-par cleaning standards and no idea how much it will all cost.
Public transport is another option, but who wants the hassle of trying to decipher confusing network maps, while ensuring you don't leave anyone or anything behind in the rush to get on and off before the doors close?
Charter Service
If you don't hold the required licence or don't want the hassle of driving and navigating around unfamiliar roads, our charter service is an ideal solution as we'll take care of everything for you.
With a large fleet of premium 8, 12 and 21 seat buses, we can arrange a personalised transport solution for your group, where a professional uniformed driver will collect you when you arrive at Sydney Airport and take you directly to your accommodation or event so you don't have to worry about anything.
Your driver will be waiting for you in the arrivals area of the airport with a sign so you can easily identify them, before they escort you to your waiting vehicle.
No request is too hard for us to accommodate. Whether you require multiple stops, different pick-up and drop-off locations, a multi-day service or extended journey, we will be able to offer a complete transport solution so you can sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.
Customised Service
At Sydney Minibus Hire, we can provide a customised service to accommodate every type of group travelling to Sydney Airport, including sporting teams, school groups, business and corporate clients, community groups, wedding parties, birthdays and other group trips, tours and events.
No matter how complex your requirements are – if you require multiple stops, a multi-day service or are making an extended journey – we can provide a charter service to make your trip effortless and uncomplicated from the moment you arrive in Sydney.
Self-Drive Hire
If you would prefer to drive yourself, we also offer a self-drive minibus hire option where we'll even provide a GPS navigation system and free travel on all Australian toll motorways at no extra charge to make it easier for you to get around.
We even provide all the extras that other hire companies would charge you for at no extra cost, like a luggage trailer or Australian Standards Approved baby or booster seats if you're travelling with children.
All our vehicles are late-model vehicles that are sure to impress. They are equipped with all the features you would expect to find in a modern vehicle including air conditioning, automatic transmission, power steering, reversing camera (in some models), central locking and modern music systems. They are free of promotional signage and advertising and are expertly cleaned and detailed.
An airport drop-off service can be arranged to make logistical planning for the entire trip so simple.
We are not a booking agency. We own and operate all our vans and minibuses, meaning we can provide a complete end-to-end customised service for our customers.
As Sydney's premier bus and minibus hire company, you can rely on us to get your group from A to B in comfort, style and without any of the hassle.
Find out more about our 8 seat, 12 seat or 21 seat buses, our charter bus hire service, or call us on (02) 9524 7007 for an immediate over-the-phone personalised quote.

Payment Options
We accept payment by cash, all major credit or debit cards or by direct deposit and don't charge any additional fees or surcharges for payment processing. Corporate clients can also request to be invoiced for their vehicle hire.
You will need to provide a credit or debit card to secure your booking.

Last Thursday, June 30, 2011, at 1:26 PM and 1:27 PM, my wife and I became parents to amazingly perfect twins girls; Lena and Zoe, Zoe and Lena. I'm listing their names in two orders, just so when they are old enough to read Film Threat, they'll know their daddy didn't favor one over the other.
Yesterday, the morning of The Fourth of July, I held my four-day-old twin daughters on the day our beloved country celebrates its 235th birthday, and I pondered what to focus on for this Going Bionic article. Then, just as little Lena yawned and looked up at me ever so briefly, it hit me: Family Films! So, in honor of my little newborn angels Lena Anais Zaidi and Zoe Milan Zaidi, this week's article is about how to develop sellable family films.
Thus, without further ado, here are some key elements to consider when you are developing family films.
Define What A Family Film Is
For decades, the words "family film" were synonymous with Disney created, "G" rated films. But, in the 1990's, PG-13 smash hits like Mrs. Doubtfire (1993) and Liar, Liar (1997) redefined what a family film is. Suddenly, studios had a social license to write more adult oriented themes into their "family films," and increase the ratings from "G" to "PG" and "PG-13." This was a significant move in the evolution of family films, because they became films for all members of the family, and not just the children.
Less Than Perfect Families Are Perfect On Screen
One of the most common mistakes made when developing family films is how the family unit is depicted. Just because you're developing a family film, doesn't mean the characters in the family have to live perfect lives (married parents with perfect jobs and even more perfect personalities). The more realistic your family is written, the easier it is for audiences to connect with your film. Thus, writing single parent families (due to divorce or death of one of parents) or families with same sex parents is not only common, it's preferred. Remember, we have a 58% divorce rate here in America, and same sex families are a natural fabric in our society these days, so depicting these families will connect to the masses.
Kids Today Don't Talk Like Kids
This is the single biggest mistake made by novice writers. Simply put, most kids today don't talk like kids; they talk like adults with bad sentence structure. Only very young children actually talk like what many writers imagine young kids talk like. Remember, today's kids are growing up in the internet, smart phone, satellite TV age when information can be created, processed, transferred, visualized and experienced from one far corner of the Earth to another, within seconds. Thus, kids today are exposed to adult oriented language and phrases (not necessarily profanity) at a much earlier age.
Write For Parents As Much As For Children
One of the most effective ways to appeal to mass audiences with family films is to write for the parents as much as for the kids. Remember, the parents, not the kids, drive the car to the theater, buy the tickets, popcorn, Milk Duds, and other wildly unhealthy but wonderfully tasting junk. Thus, getting the adults actually interested in seeing your film will sharply increase your overall ticket sales.
Two excellent examples of writing for the parents (and or parent guardian) are Muppets From Space (1999) and The Toy Story Series of Films (1995, 1999, 2010). Of course there are tons of examples out there, but these two films stood out.
- Muppets From Space (1999)
While all Muppet movies are infused with incredibly good writing that showcases adult-oriented innuendos, one scene in the Muppets From Space not only pushed the envelope, it tied a jetpack to that envelope and launched it into space.
In the opening sequence of the film, Muppet character Gonzo has a nightmare that Noah doesn't let him on the Arc, (yes, Noah's Arc), because there isn't a second creature like him. Then, when Gonzo wakes up screaming, his buddy Rizzo, (another Muppet) asks him about the nightmare. Here's the exchange after Gonzo wakes up screaming:
Gonzo: "I had that weird dream again."
Rizzo: "Oh yeah? You mean the one with the goat, and the dwarf and the jar of peanut butter."
Now think of this dialogue and remember that Muppets From Space was rated "G." Obviously, the film appealed to adults as much as it did children, which is my Muppet movies are treasured by multiple generations.
- Toy Story (1995)
In Toy Story, the actual toy characters in the film were from yesteryear. Cowboy Andy was a popular toy in the 1950's, while Buzz Lightyear was reminiscent of the early 1980's. Meanwhile, Mr. Potato Head, Slinky, and Etch-A-Sketch were from the 1970's. Furthermore, Little Bo Peep was created in 1805 and the Alphabet Blocks were first invented in 1693, and then were first commercially available in 1820. Thus, this film was written for the parents and grandparents, (and living great grandparents for that matter), as much as it was for children.
Use Music That Parents Love
Toy Story and Muppets From Space also did a great job of incorporating popular music from pervious generations in order to keep adults engaged in their story. For example, Toy Story's, the theme song is Thin Lizzy's The Boys are Back In Town (1976), and the first song in Muppets From Space is The Commodores funk hit, Brick House (1977). These songs were released 29 and 22 years before the respective films, making them clearly geared to appeal to adults, not children.
Keep The Film Shorter Than a Child's Attention Span
Most successful family films tend to be shorter in length, usually under 95 minutes. Hugely successful franchises like Toy Story and the Shrek (2001, 2004, 2007, 2010) can afford to make longer films because they have a built-in audience worldwide. But, for a new films, shorter is better since children can only sit relatively still in a movie theater for so long.
Okay, that's what I've got for you in this 60th edition of Going Bionic. I hope everyone had a wonderfully happy, safe and incredibly memorable Forth of July. I know I'm enjoying mine. Now I'm off to hold my daughters Zoe and Lena again, before I go to our roof and watch fireworks shoot over the Pacific Ocean off the Redondo Beach Pier.
As always, thank you for lending me your eyes, and I hope to borrow them again next Tuesday.

A Christmas Walk
A Christmas visit to relatives gave me the chance to get out into the Lake District.
My trip to Elterwater brought a new and interesting complication for my brother: how do you manage both your sister in a wheelchair and your two small children, one of whom is still more interested in doing her own thing than following instructions?
Admirably, as it turned out! The hairiest part of the outing was the 100 yards or so downhill, from where we had parked the car in the village to the start of the path. My brother's hands were fully occupied with not letting the wheelchair (and me!) run away, whilst his eldest daughter, taking her responsibility as Big Girl very seriously, clung tightly hold of her little sister as they both ran at full pelt towards the footpath. I heard my brother give a huge sigh of relief once all parties were safely the other side of the gate that marked the start of the path!
Our route meandered beside the stream which led to the lake itself – although our expedition did not get that far (due to small legs!). It was very flat and smooth, with a compact surface of fine stone – interspersed with sections of most attractive but, as usual, more bumpy, slate paving. The path was popular with all ages, as well as, most importantly, cyclists – I made a mental note to return with the tandem!
It was a beautiful crisp day and plenty of people were also enjoying the chance to get out after a few rather damp days. We were all greeting each other with cheery 'hellos'.
The scenery created pictures in every direction, all lit differently by the winter sun. Behind us, the Langdale Pikes were in full view whilst, as the sun shone behind the trees, it highlighted their dark trunks. Elsewhere, a field of frost became illuminated when light finally reached it.
Not that there was much time to enjoy the views – there were small people to chase! They paddled, pushed the chair, played Pooh Sticks … and mainly did a lot of running!
There was even time to head off to Coniston for lunch at the Bluebird cafe and watch the magical light over the lake. Some of the party also managed some more paddling (and only got their feet a little wet!).

Vista vs. Apple 01 Jun, 2006
I was startled when I looked at the news stands this morning: this month's PC Pro magazine features a cover story entitled Vista vs. Apple:
There's never been a better time to switch to an Apple Mac, yet Microsoft's Vista promises an exciting Windows-based future. PC Pro dissects the two operating systems to reveal which will be the next dominant OS.
Setting aside the fact that we know which of the two systems will be dominant in the marketplace, I was still somewhat stunned to see this kind of "journalism" in an IT periodical. Windows Vista is still a beta release. OS X Tiger was released nearly a year ago. Is this not just crazy? What is more, PC Pro seem to come out on the side of Vista in terms of it being the better operating system, so they're obviously smoking crack :-D.
I can't see how such a piece does anyone any favours, not least Microsoft: how can you seriously compare a beta product with something that's been in production and refined with a number of major releases over the course of more than six years?
All this from a magazine that has the tag line "Computing in the real world".

5 Ways to Build a Better Team
Teams are hard. For anyone that has been in a position of leadership, you know that gathering a group of individuals and directing them towards a common goal can be complicated. Teams have the capacity to do great things beyond the scope of the individual while also being capable slowing down the simplest process.
Bottlenecks, miscommunication, and personal differences are just a few of the many problems that can happen in teams. This is only natural given that we are imperfect people. Lisa might arrive late, starting the day off behind schedule; Bob might have thought that someone else was taking care of that task; or Sally might feel as though you're encroaching upon her responsibilities.
These issues can be heightened further in a healthcare setting leading to a stressful work environment that isn't conducive to a healthy work life or clinical productivity. That's why we have spent so much time studying team dynamics. By looking at both the macro and micro levels of the clinic, we can start to see where the problems arise and how they can be fixed. From this, we have come up with 5 ways to build a better team for healthcare.
1. define The Goal
A simple yet critical component to forming a solid teaming strategy is to make sure your team is on the same page. Some teams forego defining the goal altogether simply because it seems obvious. What's the goal of the post office? To deliver mail. What's the goal of an urgent care clinic? To care for patients. The problem with simplistic goal definition is that it lacks the the "Why" and the "How". Goal definition should have motivation behind it to give your staff a reason behind every action item. It should give them guidance on how to perform it. By adding layers to your goal definition, you give context to your team's efforts.
An example of this might be a company mission statement. Mission statements should be created with careful consideration so that your staff can apply that ideology to their day-to-day work. If the statement only applies to a certain level of the supply chain or department, you risk alienating entire departments or layers of your our staff. No matter what's being done, giving your team an authentic reason to perform their best can be one of the most powerful qualities in a teaming strategy.
2. Eliminate Obstacles
Secondly, teams need support. Nothing is more frustrating than being given a task and then slogging through obstacle after obstacle to see it through. Often, an obstacle has remained resolved because the team simply accepted it as part of the process. By accepting a problem, it becomes embedded in your daily operations, leading to decreased performance.
Bottlenecks happen and obstacles do exist, but by opening a line of communication between the team many of these can be removed. Furthermore, this develops a sense of trust within the team which boosts morale and work ethic, compounding the effects of the original system improvements.
3. Consistent Attention and Feedback
Part of eliminating obstacles is opening that line of communication between the decision makers and the team. This can come in the form of a systematic solution in which there is a defined channel to communicate feedback and needs, or it can come more organically. For companies such as us, we utilize both. Given our unique mobile business model, our face-to-face interaction with other arms of the company is limited. This means that the face-to-face interaction needs to be utilized to its fullest.
This can come in the form of company get-together's and other events that serve to strengthen inter-team relations and start a dialogue about everyone's well being. This falls in line with the goal of setting a standard of open communication. Our team members know that support is one phone call away if that face-to-face connection is not available.
4. Clear Division of Labor
Part of leading a team is delegating and managing that team's operations on a micro level. Now, this doesn't give license to "micro-managing," which can have a negative effect on a team; this simply means that the team needs to know its responsibilities. Departments need to be established and job descriptions need to be defined. This is simple enough, but it also needs to be communicated how each individual's role plays in the better picture, tying back to the defining the goal principle. If a team member know how his or her role contributes to the success or failure of another team member, it provides a powerful motivation to perform those duties to the fullest extent. By empowering and maximizing the individual, the macro side of management almost takes care of itself.
5. Reward Your team
Last but certainly not least is rewarding the team. As with any well-balanced work-life, there needs to be built in time for the team to unplug and recharge. This is especially true in healthcare where hours can be dense, stressful, and labor-intensive. Generous paid-time-off and a benefits packages can go a long way in keeping your team healthy and happy. In our case, ultrasound can put a lot of strain on the sonographer's arm and if not cared for, can lead to career ending injuries. That's why our initiative to provide monthly physical therapy to our team is so important to our business model. By keeping the team happy and healthy, you ensure the future and longevity of your company.
By taking these principles and applying them to your team, individuals begin to work less for themselves and more for the team. And that, is the powerful thing about team dynamics. So go forth and educate your team, clinic, or organization on how to optimize performance and satisfaction in whichever endeavor you find yourself in.

#76 The Lazy Genius Meal Plan
We've been waiting for this one, haven't we? We're finally talking about meal planning! Getting dinner on the table happens most every day, and we're still surprised it has to happen. Here are three simple steps (plus one exciting announcement) that will help you get dinnertime under control.
Stuff Mentioned:
Salt Fat Acid Heat, this cookbook talks about the principles of creating delicious meals using, you guessed it, salt, fat, acid, and heat
Mad Hungry, another favorite cookbook which is about feeding families with a focus on the teenagers taking over the reins.
Note: In this episode I mentioned two levels of The Meal Plan. I decided to scrap that. We're all VIPs, so there's only one level!

Kunguru Lodge is next to Paul Cluver wine estate, surrounded by orchards, vineyards set in lush gardens with a forest-like ambience.
Although the lodge is located just off the N2, one could be in the middle of a forest. An hour from Cape town, Kungur Lodge is managed by owner Anton Bugler and his partner Natasha, who have many years of experience in the hospitality industry. They made us feel completely at home the minute that we arrived on a cold Friday evening.
After spending only a few hours in the valley I was beginning to feel that the folk who live over the mountains in the Elgin Valley are somewhat special and that they have discovered a little piece of heaven just over the mountain.
Accommodation at Kunguru is a choice of stunning hand-crafted wooden cabins with an en-suite bathroom and patio (each one was individually crafted and designed by the owner Anton) or safari-style tents.
As a family of 4 we stayed in one of the large safari tents located on the Forest Walk (surrounded by stunning gardens and abundant birdlife). The safari tents include luxuries like electric blankets, heaters, tea and coffee and a full en-suite bathroom with a shower - think glamping - not your average tent.
Even though the resort is geared towards corporate events, it is a perfect place to base oneself while exploring the surrounding valley.
The Wildcats Restaurant and Bar is the heart of the lodge and the perfect place to unwind after a day of adventure.
Being mid-winter, the bar and restaurant were warmed not only by 2 large fireplaces but also the generous hospitality of the staff (most have been there since the resort was built).
The kitchen is run by a talented executive chef who spent a few years on a 5-star wine estate establishment - so although the surroundings are laid back and rustic - the cuisine that comes out of the kitchen is that of a 5-star establishment (at 3-star prices).
When the weather is warmer there is also the option of spit roasts or traditional braais in the garden.
As the provincial winner of the Lilizela tourism awards, Kunguru Lodge is the accommodation for Tri-Active events - which is an events company specialising in corporate adventures and team building events. Corporate companies can hire out the entire resort for their team building events. There is a large conference room next to the restaurant and bar area and there is plenty of space for break-away areas.
The lodge offers a wide range of activities for all levels of fitness and skills - from 4x4 excursions, abseiling, archery, clay pigeon and handgun shooting and quad biking, to name a few.
We tried our hand at handgun and clay pigeon shooting under the expert guidance of owner Anton, who is hands-on with most of the activities.
In conclusion:
Whether you are looking for a laid-back weekend away with a bit of adventure or a group of friends wanting to explore the area, Kunguru is the perfect place to base yourself - you definitely won't be disappointed.
Take a peek at the Kunguru website.

Herb is the Word
What makes an herb different from a vegetable, or a spice?
Herbs are primarily defined by their use as seasoning or flavoring instead of, say, a basil salad where they would be considered a mere vegetable. They are strong and potent, much like the spices that we so enjoy. Herbs are the green, leafy parts of plants which are flavorful, while spices come from seeds, bark, roots, flowers, and so on—basically anything else.

Training quiz 2018
ZIENER – Training quiz 2018
Dear Retailers, Dear sales stuff,
Year on year the variety of products in the winter sport segment increases. As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult for specialist retailers to provide customers with competent advice. Customers are also finding it more and more complicated to find a product which is right for them. We at ZIENER believe that the competent advice provided to customers by specialist retailers is thus ever more important. A key objective of this specialist retailer training brochure, the ZIENER Technical Manual, is therefore to make it easier to give professional advice at the point of sale.
To consolidate the knowledge given in our Technical Manual, you can take part in our "ZIENER- training quiz" until 31.12.2018. You will receive a ZIENER sweater as a thank you for your participation and commitment.
More information can be found on the quiz form:
Best regards from Oberammergau

Corner Kids
At Cornerstone, children are an integral part of our church family. It is our goal to not only equip and encourage parents to disciple their children at home, but also to provide meaningful discipling and learning opportunities at church.
Our Children's Sunday School is designed to equip children with Bible knowledge while giving them a chance to be discipled and encouraged in their walk with God by teachers who love each of them. The babies and toddlers in our youngest class are taught that church is a safe place to learn about God with friends and grownups who love God and love them. A simple Bible story is taught and teachers sing, play, and cuddle with these tiny treasures. When children are potty trained and ready to sit for a bit longer (usually 3 or 4 years old) they are moved up to our primary class.
In the primary class the narratives of scripture are taught in a more detailed manner. A narrative is covered each week and the character of God as shown in that narrative is explained and explored. The Old Testament and New Testament are thoroughly covered, giving even these young children a chance to know and understand the Bible. Games, songs, and coloring pages are used to help children learn the books of the Bible, the scope of scripture, the plan of salvation, and the character of God. When children are confident readers and ready to dig into scripture a bit deeper (usually 7 or 8 years old) they are moved up to our secondary class.
In the secondary class children are encouraged to read and research scripture as a class. A teacher leads and disciples, and much of the teaching is done by giving children an opportunity to read scripture and discussing it to help them understand what they have read. Curriculum covers the sovereignty of God and the promises of God throughout the Old and New Testaments. Children are taught different methods of Bible study and encouraged to read the Bible at home on their own, apply it to their lives, and share what they've learned with others. After sixth grade children move up to our youth group.
By the time they have completed our Children's Sunday School it is our deep desire that they will know and love God and understand His Word. We also pray that they will realize that they are an important part of our church and the body of Christ.

The additional District and Sessions Court of Chandigarh on Friday dismissed the revision plea of Amway India officials, William Scot Pinckney and Prithvai Raj Bijlani, which was moved by the duo against the charges framed by the lower court against them in a case of cheating registered in 2002. The trial in the case will now commence in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM), district court, Chandigarh, which is scheduled for August 1.
The CJM court in January 2017 had framed the charges against William Scot Pinckney and Prithvai Raj Bijlani under Section 420 (cheating) of IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, in January 2017. However, Pinckney and Bijlani had then moved a revision plea against the order of the CJM court in the ADJ court.
Following the arguments, the ADJ court of Dr Ajit Attri on Friday dismissed the plea on finding the charges framed by the lower court to be correct. An FIR was registered against Amway by the Economic Offences Wing at Sector-26 PS on December 2, 2002, under Sections 3 and 4 of the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, 1978, on the basis of complaints.
The complainants, namely Ramesh Dubey, Narendra Kumar, Inderjit Kaur and four others, had alleged to the Chandigarh Police that Amway took Rs 4,400 each from one person and also asked them to join members further in the business and then they would get the commission. The complainants further alleged that they neither got any commission nor received their money back.
The investigating agency of Chandigarh Police had then presented a chargesheet in the district court against the company on August 28, 2012, also under Section 420 (cheating) of IPC. Thereafter, the investigating agency had filed three supplementary charge sheets in the case.
