Agile and Flexible – ARCIS VOCALISTEN – now à cappella – June, 24th, 016
On Friday,
the arcis-vocalisten
will sing in the Himmelfahrtskirche in Munich Sendling,
I am last-minute advertising this unique concert, but not only because tickets are still available. Above all, I point you towards this concert because it is going to be n absolutely unique experience. One that you will not wish to miss!
One specialty about it is that it is sung a-cappella, which means there are no instruments, let alone an entire orchestra to accompany the singers. Naturally, this is much more demanding for the singers, since nobody plays along with what they are supposed to sing.
Another specialty is that there will be a world premiere:
Markus Fritz is himself a member of the choir. He is also the composer of the work
"De Tranquilitate Animi"
after words by Seneca!!!
You will also hear the "Missa in F Major" by J. G. Rheinberger and the motet Opus 74 No. 1 by Brahms, as well as a few Kaminski songs.
If if would not be staying in France this Friday, I would definitely be among the audience.
Not only, but also because Evelyn (EG) sings in the choir.

Complexity & Cat Food.
Between September, 10th, and September, 12th, I will be in Berlin. Why? Because there is another PM Camp! This is already the third of them. The Berlin PM Camp is about Complexity. To be more precise: this year we ask the question: "Complexity – should we reduce it or increase it?"
Here is my contribution to the Blog Parade of the Berlin 2015 PM Camp – and it is especially for Heiko!
They need not work and can do what they want all day long. Consequently, they stroll all over the place or sit at their favourite spot enjoying the sun while looking around. Once in a while, they play "bad cat" with a mouse or a bird. As soon as they start purring, there will always be someone to stroke them. They get their food in the morning and in the evening. Without having to do anything for it.
The "cat mother", too, has a better life than formerly. Because today, the cat food comes in sacks or cans. Once in a month, you buy a sack or a crate full of cans. That is it. Or if you want to be very modern, you buy baggies, as you see on the left picture. That is the typical contemporary cat food. Even if nobody actually knows what is inside. To make up for it, they are a little more expensive. But then, our cat is worth this extra money, isn't it?
Let us analyse what "people" did for the cat in order to make it possible for cat-mom to just take the bag and thus make her beloved cat happy.
Let us start with the wrapping.
It is made of extremely thin sheeting, as produced, for instance, with the technology provided by Brückner of Siegsdorf. It is quite impressive to see how these kinds of sheeting are pressed into huge machines to become extremely thin – and then how, during the production phase, both the machine and the product become broader and broader. And how much effort and, above all, brains, the quality control and control mechanisms in general require.
To make this sheeting capable of becoming a container for the food, you need several steps for metallically steaming and further layering and treating it. You need enormous and very special engineering competence in order to do this. Subsequently, the sheeting is printed in many colours. That, too, is a special technology. Incidentally, the image processing for the pictures is done with graphics software. But then, gluing or welding the sheeting together so that you get a water-proof bag is the next sensational thing. Like much of the filling process, it often looks rather unbelievable.
Now let us look at the content.
The world of chemistry makes it possible: it makes both humans and animals believe that something precious is inside. The stuff has a surprising consistency, a very special smell and it even retains its shape for a time. Well, this is all science. It also has a surprising best-before date and a setup of many ingredients will guarantee that the cat, regardless of all this, will not immediately become sick but instead look healthy at least from the outside. It is a miracle – also only possible due to enormous scientific efforts.
This is how they do the mixing, brewing and filling at automated animal food stations. In fact, the entire process is computer-controlled, always with the same quality and with no variations. As an input, the containers with the raw material will be brought to the plant. The output is standardized cartons. And still, mostly our German middle classes are parties in charge, because our "hidden champions" have exactly the right know- how. They build the best machines in the world for exactly these kinds of processes.
Marketing and logistics
The entire affair can only be sold if a world-wide marketing machine is activated. You will see the happy cats enjoying this food on the internet, on TV, in colourful magazines. It is a truly fabulous manipulation, a mixture of emotional images and digital marketing. We understand the message – the right brand will make the cat, and consequently the human, happy.
The logistics are not bad, either. Because, naturally, the modern cat mother will buy the heavy sacks with the dry food and the cartons with the many colourful bags online. With a single click. Because only old-fashioned and mostly elderly persons who still drive their cars will carry the heavy sacks home from the "Fressnapf" in their SUVs, the trunk of which will, however, open and close after just a slight foot gesture, seemingly by itself.
Consequently, Amazon will do its job. They drive the products to their delivery centres with their heavy trucks that dutifully pay their polls in one of the best poll systems of the world. And if the customer orders in the evening, then DHL or the like will deliver on the next day and the cat will have her breakfast on time. How easy to live in the world has become…
And basically, it is all for nothing.
In fact, the cat would very much prefer eating cooked heart or lungs from the butcher. But then, a cat life, too, is not perfect, is it? And we all have to subjugate ourselves under the modern world – humans as well as animals.

Now don't say the bag with the wet cat food is not a complex product…

Heroes, Gladiators and Consumers.
On one of the early PM Camps in Dornbirn, Eberhard Huber initiated a really great session about "cultural onions". I wrote about it.
The "cultural onion" describes of such social systems as, for instance, the Federal Republic of Germany in the form of a model. For instance, the peel of the "onion" are its symbols, rituals, basic beliefs, certainties, values, … And, in particular, the "heroes" of a system also play a role.
This session motivated me to look for a "German" hero. I was thinking of the great classics of literature (Goethe, Schiller, … ), modern authors (Brecht, Grass …) and philosophers (Kant, Nietzsche …). Also, I wondered if politicians (Erhard, Brandt …), people who resisted (Scholl, Staufenberg), composers (Bach, Beethoven …) and musicians (Lindenberg, Nina) and many more might be candidates for the role of my personal hero.
None of them was good enough to meet my requirements for a "German Hero". Since I am a passionate soccer player, I continued my search there. However, Beckenbauer, Haller and Uwe Seeler (although he came pretty close), too, fell short.
And then I had an idea:
The soccer world champion team of 1954 – the heroes of Bern – they meet the bill! This is the team I consider just about good enough to be my "German Heroes"
But then, this was 61 years ago. We now live in the 21st century. A short time ago, I watched the Champions League Final Match Juventus against Barcelona 2015 in Berlin on TV. And again, I was surprised to see how excessively all the stars of today are tattooed. I also wondered why they all had such strange hairstyles.
And then it immediately dawned on me:
The soccer players of today are the gladiators of our times. The tattoos and dyed red-Indian and other hairstyles are part of their war outfit. They serve the clubs and, behind those, the concerns. That is who they fight for and that is who pays them for it. Along with extensive marketing, this is how the consumers are kept dependent and motivated to buy more and more. Said consumers will cheer "their" gladiators and obediently buy the products advertised by those gentlemen.
Thus, the contests of our gladiators are the biggest spectacles of our times. If the "right team" wins, the people will go crazy, if they lose, the fans (the consumer population) are sad and wish to die, burning their banners.
Soccer players are the modern mercenaries in our times. They "play" for those who pay best. But above all, they fight for mass consumption. This is no longer about panem et circenses in order to distract and entertain the people, as was customary in ancient Rome. Instead, this is all about turnover and profit, e.g. about "the money" of the masses.
As I see it, this development is an indicator of the decadence of our times. Decadence which, in prospering social systems, can be observed as the preliminary stage of the end shortly before the downfall.
However, we know that innovation is creative destruction and I already look forward to what will come next. And we relish the morbid joy witnessing the downfall of all those who are responsible for this development.. Except that this concerns all of us!
There is also a kind of exploitation and insurance organization for the gladiators. It is called FIFA and earns a lot of money with the new games.

How often do I lack the words to really say something precisely? In the way I want to say it. In those instances, the power of a good picture would help. After all, we all know the following example of a metaphor:
"One picture can say more than a thousand words"
At least two of my friends have a special talent. They quickly understand complicated relations during a shared discussion and then can draw a graph of those connections on a piece of paper or into the pad in no time.
All of a sudden, the topic gets easy to understand, the valuable and beautiful visualization is a great help when it comes to literally get a grip through your eyes on often very complicated mental concepts, projects, plans, intentions, future developments and much more.
Unfortunately, being able to draw beautiful images is not one of my talents. Instead, I learned something else. Not too long ago, I participated in a philosophical colloquium organized by my friend Klaus-Jürgen Grün in Munich. It was about the value and meaning of words and metaphors (Metapher).
During this event, I understood that there is a huge power in metaphors, just like there is in images. And that metaphors are ideal for transporting a message in such a way that others will get convinced. Now I make use of this understanding – and consequently, I feel better when I have to formulate sentences. As before, I use slightly meaningless symbols drawn on a board or paper to support what I am saying.
I wanted to test my newly-acquired competence with a friend. I told him about the great film Alphabet by Erwin Wagenhofer and used a metaphor from this film:
"When we are children, we are 98% genius, after our training, only 2% remain".
This is how I wanted to show him how sceptical I am when it comes to our educational system. However, it seems like I had not chosen an ideal example. After all, the term "genius" can be interpreted in various ways. This fact was a source of distraction from the statement I had intended to make and thus took away some of the strength of my metaphor.
My partner in this discussion immediately noticed this and the first thing he did was ask me for a precise definition of the term "genius". Well, this actually put me in a tight spot and the only thing I managed to mumble was something like "thinking against the mainstream".
The second time, I tried a different metaphor. It actually worked. It underlines a message I hold to be important for all your life:
"Do not preach water while you drink wine!"
We all know quite well that "water" and "wine" are. And the same is true for "preach" and "drink".
Consequently, this is certainly a nice metaphor when it comes to pointing out your "model function". And that is a function relevant not only for entrepreneurs.

brand eins in January (2015)
So what to do on Christmas Eve? Well, you wait for the presents. And you read "brand eins". And, of course, you read in next year's first edition, even though you are not yet finished with the December 2014 edition. Said edition was titled "Let Them Burst" – and the focal point "pleasure" was not the only thing I enjoyed about it.
Let me say it up front: the new "brand eins" titled YOU and focussing on self-determination gave me a precious Christmas Eve afternoon. It is a truly great affair. Again, I am absolutely fascinated about the editorial part.
Brand eins probably has now become too high-quality. And others, too, found out about it. This might be good news for "brand eins" with respect to business, but it has its disadvantages.
The amount of adverts comes as a surprise to me. And if something is good quality, then adverts will easily find their way towards it. Just think of the 2nd Channel of Bayerischer Rundfunk (Bayern2). I have to listen to ever more minutes of advertising. In fact, I already wonder if it is a good idea to no longer listen to Channel-2 at all and instead "survive on" podcasts only.
Basically, the Bayerischer Rundfunk is publicly financed, isn't it? Consequently, you would think it could do without advertising in its high-quality programs. I gladly pay my GEZ fees for those.
You can probably not compare this with "brand eins". The editorial department is financed by advertising. Even if I find this a pity, I cannot change it. Consequently, the first thing I do is get rid of all this extra material. Ever since I started reading the SZ exclusively in its digital version, I lack experience in this field. It takes quite some time, but eventually it is done.
Now my floor is littered with the Austrians wishing to invite me for a skiing vacation (I know how well Austria Tourismus is doing with "incoming operations"). Next to it lie the Saxons. They try to tell me that the future comes from Saxony, which we know to be nonsense. "The Economist" is sitting next to it and also wants to recruit me. The same is true for a Wellness Fond called ÖKOVISION who want me to invest. However, I neither wish to nor will do so.
But you also get adverts that will not leave the magazine if you just give it a shaking, because they has been pinned to the rest of the magazine. This treacherous method is used by LEXWARE – a software nobody will ever need.
Inside the magazine, too, you will find no end of adverts. The first two pages, as well as the rear page are filed by two luxury clockmaker labels: PATEK PHILLIPE and IWC Schaffhausen. Starting from the front, the next advert you will find is by Bethmann Bank (ABN AMRO), before RIMOWA wants to sell its nice suitcases. Microsoft even goes so far as to propose turning me from car-park attendant to concern boss (make it happen).
Immediately after that, a sinister-looking gentleman from CONSORSBANK.de is planning a COMING OUT (THERE IS A SMALL BANKER IN EACH OF US. NOW IS THE TIME …). Occhio wants to supply me with perfect light. I am to buy a blue FORD FOCUS including parking assistance and to listen to music "wireless" with harman/kardon.
Shortly before the focal point of the magazine, I am asked to drive Porsche on four pages. Incidentally, Porsche wishes to create excitement inside me, because that is their basic duty (???). Immediately after Porsche, you will find vitra. (including the full stop), wishing to sell a "Soft Pad Chair EA 208″. I turn the pages and it gets even worse: two federal ministries (Employment and Social Affairs, Business and Energy, along with the BfA) want to do an Expert Check. Unbelievable!
Mind you, I am now only on page 40 of 162. I fear the worst, but will not give up: consequently, I continue searching for adverts.
And again I am supposed to buy office chairs. From interstuhl. And the chair is called SILVER and said to be the CHAIR OF CHAIRS. After a short break, you get DKMS who want to "QUICKLY SAVE LIVES". They think it is high time that I, along with my company, do something against leukaemia. After this, you get two adverts for a "brand eins" event (along with TAGESSPIEGEL, the lobby for children and dm) and for a "brand eins" publication.
And here comes the Airport Düsseldorf with "Düsseldorf Airport Advertising". What a blessing that they only use the third part of a page (up until now, all adverts took one entire page or more). Later, I also find rather unassuming vertical adverts over a third of a page by PSYCHOLOGIE HEUTE and the "branding institute – wien".
I find no more adverts at the moment: an entire series of pages is totally advert-free and only consist of text and pictures. Yet this series ends with page 87: the Handelsblatt wants to sell a digital passport (again occupying an entire page).
A few pages later, I am supposed to read H.O.M.E, because they say they are at home in modern life (another full page advert). On reaching page 92, I am confronted with the Spiegel (full page) offering "History" and "THE BIBLE" (THE MOST POWERFUL BOOK OF THE WORLD). And, of course, I always can get everything as APP. Only one page on – again full-page – SAT.1 tries to make me happy with "ONLY LOVE COUNTS". As often before, the letters are extremely huge.
When I finally reach page 98/99, I find the aforementioned Lexware advert which is pinned to the magazine. I wonder if I should remove it. But the process might damage the entire magazine. So I continue.
Next, I arrive at classified and self-advertising. Actually, after that I get an advert-free zone up until page 109. When I reach page 110, the "Neue Züricher Zeitung" – which in fact I appreciate – tells me that there is something like a Swiss perspective. After only one other turn of the page, "domus" assaults me as "the ICON among the ARCHITECTURAL MAGZINES – now in German with local articles". Wow!
On page 117, they want to make me the "star of festive lamps" (Frankfurt Fair) and, a little later, I am asked to read "Stern" (full-page). Well, that is not what I want. On the opposite side of the same page, also full-length, you get ramp with AUTO.CULTURE.MAGAZINE. asking if I am "KEEN ON AUTO CULTURE". Well. Cars and culture – basically this is a contradiction per se.
I am still not willing to give up my search for adverts in this magazine and will be cruelly punished for my perseverance. On the next page, "Die Welt" advertises with the (unspeakable) slogans: "the world belongs to those who swim against the current on the internet, as well" and "AND THE WORLD BELONGS TO THOSE WITH INNOVATIVE IDEAS". Can it get worse than that?
The answer is: yes – because here comes ONSCREEN with "boredom was yesterday. Today we have ONSCREEN." Outch – that hurts! And worse is coming. Because on page 138, 7 (PRO?) adverts with "BEAT RAAB", calling me with "WE LOVE TO ENTERTAIN YOU". Well, now is the time to admit knock out and activate the "ignore adverts filter".
Now I wonder if it might not be a good idea to take the digital version of "brand eins" in the future. Basically, I have no problem with paying the great work the editors are doing. But such an amount of stupidity on high-gloss paper actually makes me physically sick. Not just because of the gigantic waste. I find it truly a pity that the newspapers need such stupid indirection in order to pay their employees.
And now the time has come for opening all those presents.
(Translated by EG)
I would like to apologize to "brand eins" and its team for my critical comments on their magazine. But then, due to the prevailing "journalism", I never even touch any of the other business magazines.

The last week in February is one of my favorite times of year in Paris. Despite the grey skies and cold temperatures, the city heats up with the arrival of France's finest birds and beasts at the Salon International de l'Agriculture, an annual showcase that takes Paris by storm. Farmers arrive in Paris with their prized livestock–from the heavily muscled Bleu-Blanc cows to Silkie Bantam chickens—and take up residence in the sprawling pavillons at the Parc des Expositions de la Porte de Versailles. For the 53rd edition, "the biggest farm in France" is expected to welcome close to 700,000 visitors (a third of them under age 12!) to ogle 4,000 animals.
There are vegetable-inspired fashion shows, dog herding contests, cooking classes, children's ateliers (plus a climbing wall!), and, bien sûr, cow beauty pageants. The mascot of the show this year is Cerise, a bazadaise cow, an ancient breed that has existed since the time of the Romans. You'll find this beauty in her own dedicated space in Pavillon 1, and you can also purchase a bag with her face plastered on it.
For a quarter of a century, the Salon has also served as an important political stage, with French Presidents (and sometimes, ahem, their rivals) staging photo ops amongst the agriculteurs and their livestock. This year, farmers booed and heckled President Hollande during his visit.
The best part of the Salon de l'Agriculture: the pavilions dedicated to the gastronomy of each French region. As you tour the restaurants and stands, you might start off with some saucissons, a taste of foie gras, or what about a raclette sandwich? Then head to the "Auvergne" section for a healthy portion of aligot, the traditional dish made with melted cheese and mashed potatoes. Stop by the Basque Country for some oysters and gâteau basque (Basque revelers are known to break into song, encouraging the crowd to sing-along). "Bourgogne" is awash in wine tastings, while Outre-Mer is always the rowdiest bunch with rum, exotic fruit punch, and live music straight from the islands.
The Salon will continue through the weekend (last day is March 6, 2016). The entry fee is 13 euros for adults, and 6 euros for children between 6 and 12 years. Free for children under 6. Metro: Porte de Versailles. For more information, visit www.salon-agriculture.com

John 4:1 Now whan Iesus had knowlege, yt it was come to the eares of the Pharises, that Iesus made and baptised mo disciples the Ihon John 4:2 (howbeit Iesus himself baptysed not, but his disciples) John 4:3 he left the londe of Iewry, and departed agayne in to Galile. John 4:4 But he must nedes go thorow Samaria. John 4:5 Then came he in to a cite of Samaria, called Sichar, nye vnto ye pece of lode, yt Iacob gaue vnto Ioseph his sonne. John 4:6 And there was Iacobs well. Now whan Iesus was weerye of his iourney, he satt hi downe so vpo the well. And it was aboute the sixte houre. John 4:7 Then came there a woman of Samaria to drawe water. Iesus sayde vnto her: Geue me drynke. John 4:8 (For his disciples were gone their waye in to ye cite, to bye meate.) John 4:9 So the woman of Samaria sayde vnto him: How is it that thou axest drynke of me, seynge thou art a Iewe, and I a woman of Samaria? For the Iewes medle not with the Samaritans. John 4:10 Iesus answered, and sayde vnto her: Yf thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that sayeth vnto the, geue me drynke, thou woldest axe of him, and he wolde geue the, the water of life. John 4:11 The woman sayde vnto him: Syr, thou hast nothinge to drawe withall, and the well is depe, from whence hast thou then that water of life? John 4:12 Art thou greater then oure father Iacob, which gaue vs this well? And he himself dranke therof, and his children, and his catell. John 4:13 Iesus answered, and sayde vnto her: Who so euer drynketh of this water, shal thyrst agayne: John 4:14 But whosoeuer shal drynke of the water that I shal geue him, shal neuer be more a thyrst: but the water that I shal geue him, shalbe in him a well of water, which spryngeth vp in to euerlastinge life. John 4:15 The woman sayde vnto him: Syr, geue me that same water, that I thyrst not, nether nede to come hither to drawe. John 4:16 Iesus sayde vnto her: Go, call they hussbande, and come hither. John 4:17 The woman answered, and sayde vnto him: I haue no hussbande. John 4:18 Iesus sayde vnto her: Thou hast sayde well, I haue no hussbande: for thou hast had fyue hussbandes, and he whom thou hast now, is not thine hussbande: there saydest thou right. John 4:19 The woma sayde vnto him: Syr, I se, that thou art a prophet. John 4:20 Oure fathers worshipped vpon this mountayne, and ye saye, that at Ierusalem is the place, where men ought to worshippe. John 4:21 Iesus sayde vnto her: Woman, beleue me, the tyme commeth, that ye shal nether vpon this mountayne ner at Ierusalem worshippe the father. John 4:22 Ye wote not what ye worshippe, but we knowe what ye worshippe, for Saluacion commeth of the Iewes. John 4:23 But the tyme commeth, and is now allready, that the true worshippers shal worshippe the father in sprete and in the trueth: For the father wil haue soch so to worshippe him. John 4:24 God is a sprete, and they that worshippe him, must worshippe in sprete and in the trueth. John 4:25 The woma sayde vnto him: I wote that Messias shal come, which is called Christ. Whan he commeth, he shal tell vs all thinges. John 4:26 Iesus sayde vnto her: I that speake vnto the, am he.
John 4:27 And in the meane season came his disciples, and they marueyled that he talked with the woman. Yet sayde no man: What axest thou, or what talkest thou with her? John 4:28 Then the woman let hir pot stonde, and wente in to the cite, and sayde vnto the people: John 4:29 Come, se a man, which hath tolde me all that euer I dyd, Is not he Christ? John 4:30 Then wente they out of the cite, and came vnto him:
John 4:31 In the meane whyle his disciples prayed him, and sayde: Master, eate. John 4:32 But he sayde vnto them: I haue meate to eate, that ye knowe not of John 4:33 Then sayde the disciples amoge them selues: Hath eny man brought him meate? John 4:34 Iesus sayde vnto the: My meate is this, that I do the wyll of him that sent me, and to fynish his worke. John 4:35 Saye not ye youre selues: There are yet foure monethes, and then commeth the haruest? Beholde, I saye vnto you: lift vp youre eyes, and loke vpon the felde, for it is whyte allready vnto the haruest. John 4:36 And he that reapeth, receaueth rewarde, and gathereth frute to euerlastinge life, that both he that soweth and he that reapeth, maye reioyse together. John 4:37 For herin is the prouerbe true: One soweth, another reapeth. John 4:38 I haue sent you to reape that, wheron ye bestowed no laboure. Other haue laboured, and ye are come in to their laboures.
John 4:39 Many Samaritans of the same cite beleued on him, for the sayenge of the woman, which testified: He hath tolde me all that euer I dyd. John 4:40 Now whan the Samaritans came to him, they besought him, that he wolde tary with them. And he abode there two dayes, John 4:41 and many mo beleued because of his worde, John 4:42 and sayde vnto the woman: We beleue now hence forth, not because of thy sayenge, we haue herde him oureselues, and knowe, that this of a trueth is Christ the Sauioure of the worlde.
John 4:43 After two dayes he departed thence, and wente in to Galile. John 4:44 For Iesus himself testified, that a prophet is nothinge set by at home. John 4:45 Now wha he came in to Galile, the Galileas receaued him, which had sene all that he dyd at Ierusalem in the feast: for they also were come thither in the feast. John 4:46 And Iesus came agayne vnto Cana in Galile, where he turned the water vnto wyne. And there was a certayne ruler, whose sonne laye sicke at Capernaum. John 4:47 This herde that Iesus came out of Iewry in to Galile, and wente vnto him, and besought him, that he wolde come downe, and helpe his sonne, for he laye deed sicke. John 4:48 And Iesus sayde vnto him: Excepte ye se tokens and wonders, ye beleue not. John 4:49 The ruler sayde vnto him: Come downe Syr, or euer my childe dye. John 4:50 Iesus sayde vnto him: Go thy waye, thy sonne lyueth. The man beleued the worde, that Iesus sayde vnto him, and wente his waye. John 4:51 And as he was goinge downe, his seruauntes mett him, and tolde him, and sayde: Thy childe lyueth. John 4:52 Then enquyred he of them the houre, wherin he beganne to amende. And they sayde vnto him: Yesterdaye aboute the seueth houre the feuer left him. John 4:53 Then the father perceaued, that it was aboute the same houre, wherin Iesus sayde vnto him: Thy sonne lyueth. And he beleued with his whole house. John 4:54 This is now the seconde token that Iesus dyd, whan he came from Iewry in to Galile.

Annual Bridge Appeal
The funds raised through the appeal help us to "Bridge the Gap" between what we take in through tuition, our generous parish subsidy, our special events and our operating expenses. Tuition only accounts for 63% of our budget. The remainder comes from the revenue sources highlighted above. A successful appeal also allows for us to set aside money to fund other initiatives such as technology enhancement, security improvements, repairing and improving our aging facilities, and funding our endowment that helps provide scholarships so that all children have the opportunity for a Catholic education.
Christ the King School Auction
Over 400 people attended our auction in 2016 and raised over $130,000 to benefit our school. Proceeds from last year's auction helped pay for keeping technology current and erected a 6' security fence around part of our campus perimeter. If you would like more information, click on the button below.
Donations may be made through one of our fundraising events, such as the Annual Bridge Appeal or our Annual Auction. Other donations may be made directly to the scholarship fund, or a program such as Reading Intervention or Engineering in Education.
Sausage Fest
Sausage Fest is the primary fundraising event for Christ the King School and has been an annual community event since 1976! With 25,000-30,000 people attending, it is also the Tri-Cities' third largest event. In fact, Sausage Fest provides our school with 10% of its operating budget. It builds community, helps keep our school affordable, and generates a lot of family fun for the best entertainment.
SCRIP Fundraiser
SCRIP is the ONLY Fundraiser at Christ the King School that does not cost you any money! With scrip, you spend money for gift cards to stores you are ALREADY planning on shopping at. This is an example of how easily we can work together to raise money for our school. All money raised by CK Checks/Scrip this school year helps to offset tuition costs. Can you help by purchasing gift cards for your regular shopping? Order forms are attached and we are adding new merchants regularly to meet your shopping needs!

Is the toothbrush biodegradable?Whilst there are many variations of bamboo toothbrushes available on the market, some are not in fact bamboo, but another wood such as beech. All bristles are made with either animal hair or some form of nylon. Unfortunately, no toothbrush with any form of nylon bristle is fully biodegradable despite claims. Our toothbrushes have passed strict testing and have been certified bio-based with bristles made from 64% castor bean oil, 36% nylon and a 100% ethically sourced bamboo handle and compostable packaging..
Why a soft bristle? Most people choose to go for medium or hard bristles believing they will get a better clean. In fact the exact opposite is true! Medium and hard-bristled brushes actually damage the gums, root surface, and protective tooth enamel. Dental professionals will recommend that you brush gently and with the softest bristle available. Our bristles have not been shaped as the straight trim ensures the entire set of bristles remain in contact with the teeth whilst brushing and less pressure is applied.
Care and Disposal - Ensure to keep the head as DRY as possible after brushing to limit moisture retention and prolong the life of your toothbrush and bristles. To dispose, snap the head off or pluck out the bristles individually and dispose. The film wrapper is 100% non-toxic and water soluble and both the handle and packaging is 100% compostable and biodegradable.
We recommend you replace your toothbrush every 12 weeks
10p of every purchase is donated to Plastic Oceans

Every cell in your body is surrounded by a biological 'bag' known as the cell membrane. Rather than being a solid structure, this membrane is much more fluid. It's made from a thin layer of fatty molecules – including phospholipids and cholesterol – studded with important signalling proteins that transmit messages from outside to inside the cell. This image shows a computer model of one of these signallers, CXCR4, which is made of two separate parts. These halves need to pair up to work properly, wriggling their way through the membrane to find their partner. Researchers have used computer simulations of the physical properties of the membrane to discover that cholesterol acts as a kind of molecular 'glue', bringing the two parts of CXCR4 together properly. Faulty CXCR4 signals have been implicated in diseases such as cancer and AIDS, so understanding more about how it works could point towards better treatments.

Inspirational ladies
If you've been following my Facebook page, Instagram or Twitter feeds you'll already know that my newest personal project for 2019 is to produce a series of portrait illustrations featuring my own choice of inspirational ladies, and I chose to take off with the amazing Amy Johnson.
Amy was a pioneering English aviator who was the first female pilot to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930 and she was one of the most influential and inspirational women of the twentieth century, setting numerous long-distance records throughout her career.
Last Monday I visited a local primary school as their artist in residence for the morning, helping to kick off their Arts Week, and shared with them a number of my pieces and the techniques behind producing them. I also shared with them my current inspirational lady illustration that's well under way, Marie Curie, and was delighted to find out that they'd also been learning about some very important historical femal figures, and so I've a number of ladies now lined up to include in my series.
I already have my next illustration planned (and here's a clue, it will be a very special triple portait), but let me know if there's a lady that you would like to see featured in my collection and they might very well be included! 😁

Celebrate Dual Holidays with this Cinco de Mayo-Inspired Mint Julep
Pix and Story: Anastacia Uriegas
Today is Cinco de Derby, Derby de Mayo, or whatever you decide to name this insane day when two of the year's most festive holidays converge. The country is celebrating Cinco de Mayo, the day when Mexican armies defeated the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862, with margaritas. Simultaneously, fans of the Kentucky Derby are wearing large hats and sipping on icy mint juleps. What we've done is combine the two worlds into one cocktail in order to honor both celebrations in the form of a mezcal-based mint julep (which also substitutes agave syrup for simple syrup.)
It's super simple to make! You'll combine mezcal, lime juice, agave syrup and a handful of freshly-slapped mint (this helps release the fragrant oils) with crushed ice. Most of us don't have access to proper crushed ice so you can either use the crushed ice setting on your blender (if you over blend you'll end up with fine snow, no bueno). Alternatively, you can hit up your nearest Sonic "America's Drive-In" for the ultimate machine-made pebble ice, you know the kind with a soft bite to it. Next, you'll swizzle the ingredient by holding either a swizzle stick (or bar spoon) between your hands and rubbing them back and forth like you're trying to start a fire at camp. The drink is finished by adding another scoop of crushed ice and garnishing with a bouquet of aromatic mint and a lime wheel. If the drink sounds overly boozy, just remember that the ice will melt and dilute as you drink!
And they're off! (To enjoy this delicious drink.)
1 1/2 oz Mezcal
1/2 oz Lime Juice
3/4 oz Agave Syrup
Bunch of Fresh Mint
Rocks, Old Fashioned Glass, or Julep Cup
Crushed Ice (this is easily done with a blender)
Swizzle Stick or Barspoon
Mint & Lime Wheel for Garnish
1. Combine mezcal, agave syrup, and lime juice in your glass.
2. Slap a small handful of mint and add it to the julep cup.
3. Cover with crushed ice and swizzle.
4. Top with more crushed ice garnish with a mint sprig and lime wheel.

The indie child star who loves playing oddballs
[LOS ANGELES] He isn't quite a household name yet but, at the age of 19, child star-turned-teen heartthrob Asa Butterfield has built up a resume a Hollywood veteran would envy.
The British actor has worked with Martin Scorsese and Tim Burton, starring alongside some of cinema's biggest names, including Samuel L Jackson, Ben Kingsley, Emily Blunt and Anthony Hopkins.
"I've never really gotten starstruck," he tells AFP ahead of the release of his latest project, sci-fi fantasy The Space Between Us, co-starring Gary Oldman.
"I've been very lucky to work with the people I have, but as an actor you need to be on a level playing field. Every actor I've worked with has been great at making me feel comfortable on set."
Butterfield began acting at age eight, after a casting director saw him at his after-school drama club in north London.
The movie that made Hollywood sit up and pay attention, 2008 Holocaust drama The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, earned Butterfield a British Independent Film Award nomination.
Hugo, Martin Scorsese's 2011 love letter to the film industry, proved to be his big break, with his own lead performance earning him a Critics' Choice Award nomination for best young actor.
He has since transformed himself into a poster boy for young adult drama through such films as 2013's Ender's Game, where he played the titular role alongside Harrison Ford.
This year has seen him cast as the reluctant young hero of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, a performance which moved director Tim Burton to praise Butterfield's "special kind of sensitivity".
For the young London-based actor, working with the legendary director was the fulfilment of a career-long dream.
"When people asked me which director do you want to work with, I'd say Tim Burton. It's lovely having him welcome you somewhat into his imagination and ideas, which always blow you away," he says.
"He is always very spontaneous. The way he works is very chaotic and you have to be on your toes."
Next up is The Space Between Us, in which Butterfield plays Gardner Elliot, the first boy born on Mars who visits Earth for the first time at the age of 16, released in the US on Dec 16.
Butterfield and co-star Carla Gugino spent two weeks walking with weights on their ankles to get used to how a Mars resident might cope in the more tiring gravity of Earth.
The character is like many Butterfield has taken on - an abandoned or orphaned child, an oddball who must negotiate a world he barely understands.
"I'm always trying to find roles which are original in one way or another, and stories which are original," he tells AFP.
"I never really play the kid who's got the perfect life. Usually he's missing a parent or two."
Like the young actors in the Harry Potter films, Butterfield has done his growing up in front of the camera but this indie child star has never been a recognisable celebrity.
His more high-profile recent roles are beginning to change that as he enters adulthood, but he has his feet on the ground, and says he is more likely to be photographed cycling in London than cruising Beverly Hills in a Porsche.
"It hasn't really changed my life," he says of his career so far, before correcting himself.
"Well, I suppose it has changed my life but I don't let it dictate my life."
This month Butterfield began filming World War I drama Journey's End, and there have been persistent rumours of superhero movies, although it's not a genre that particularly interests him.
"I want to carry on acting. It's not the only thing I want to do though," he says.
"I want to film wildlife documentaries up the Amazon or somewhere, behind the camera."

Network / Wireless Security Audit
Today's computing environments can not even be imagined without some sort of Wired or Wireless Network. With all the benefits of network centred computing environments of today, comes great responsibility to make sure that your networks are secure from inside and outside security threats and intrusions.
We can not just audit your enterprise network for any possible security issues and loopholes but can also create a detailed security policy and plan adherence to which your organization will be secure from any network related security issues.
As per your needs you can also sign-up with audit subscription so your network is audited on periodic intervals (say, every 6 months) to make sure your networks are not drifting from the specified security policy requirements.
Post audit, we will suggest you ways and steps that you can take to make your network as secure as practically possible as per your threat models and security requirements.
Scope and Benefits
- Check reachability and pingability of your network from inside and outside
- Making sure that your private internal network is not reachable from outside
- Determine how secure your wired and wireless network is
- Sniff your wireless network traffic and analyze it
- Test the strength of WPA/WPA2-PSK passwords protecting your wireless network
- Password brute forcing to check if passwords used are secure enough
- Run advanced dictionary attacks with highly configurable variations
- Perform test attacks from inside or outside of your network to make sure your network is actually secure
During the initial phase of network security audit, We will meet with your executive management, major business unit leaders, key application/system/data owners, and other members of the organization. This interview process is geared towards information gathering. Information so gathered help me identify the perspective and existing awareness of key security issues that your people have. Based on all that We can recommend ideal best practices and security policies that your organization requires. Zaidsoft can advice you on the kind of training required by your people to make your teams more security cautious and aware.
Zaidsoft as your network security consultant can help you define your organization's security best practices, based on my extensive knowledge in vulnerability and risk assessment to develop a plan, conduct a risk analysis, and provide you the action plan and tools to find and fix security issues.
We can also train your staff on network security issues and how to best respond to any issues discovered in house. We also create a disaster recovery plan for your organization.

At 3.7, I'm only moderately wise.

hey, sparky!
well, i've always considered myself to only be moderately wise, if even that, so i was a bit surprised at my rating. i dithered over my answers to several of the questions, and when i went back and answered all those differently, i too scored 3.7.
the questionnaire as a whole struck me as rather western-thought-centric, and when i went back and some of my answers in light of my admittedly imperfect grasp of buddhism and taoism, it lowered my score.
my strongest feeling is that any test that scores me as having relatively high wisdom probably ought to be taken with a grain or two of salt.
then again, i regard my parents as wise people. perhaps they're rubbing off on me more than i realized. that would probably be a good thing.

I was not even as wise as either of you (3.5). Apparently being is different than being a wise-ass. Who knew?

It has a fast and funny plot that will have you roaring with laughter and a memorable score filled with songs you'll be humming long after you leave the theatre.
This Musical boasts a comic zestfulness that's as refreshing as a cool glass of lemonade on a hot summer day and a heart as big as a stretch of a Midwestern plain, ultimately winning theatergoers' hearts and earning their laughter.
The show tells the story of how G.C Wright manages to save his tiny recording studio from being foreclosed on by his nasty used car magnate cousin Big Al thanks to a song called "Lucky Guy" — a sure-fire hit that's been penned by Billy Ray Jackson, who's come to Nashville to record it, having won a contest that G.C.'s company has sponsored.
Unfortunately, Big Al gets wind of the tune, and schemes to steal the number away from the guys with the help of Miss Jeannie Jeannine, the Queen of Country music — whose crown is showing its age.

When I finish singing Christmas carols to them, they like to go to the piano themselves and show me how it's really done. Miss E, of course, is a lavender blur, feisty and fast-moving as ever.
This afternoon I stuffed Christmas cards into envelopes; here's hoping they go out tomorrow! And I have been reflecting on how much this irks me. Every year, I vow that next Christmas I will be perfectly organized. I will buy all my Christmas gifts before December and mail my cards on the 1st of the month. But that is not real Christmas in my life. As I addressed envelopes today, I wondered: why do I want so much to have it all together, at the one time of year that is precisely for people who need help?
Mary said, "'He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, as he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his offspring forever.'" (Luke 1:54-55).
Martyn Lloyd-Jones notes:
"…that word means to succour, to help, or, perhaps better still, to lift up. The people of Israel had been cast down; they needed to be lifted up, they needed to be saved. They had been thrown down by an enemy, but someone comes and rescues them; he takes hold of them and helps them to stand upon their feet."
This I need: someone to stand me on my feet. And I need to hear this word, and try to believe it:
"What God did when he sent his Son into the world is an absolute guarantee that he will do everything he has ever promised to do. Look at it in personal sense: 'All things work together for good to them that love God'–that is a promise–'to them who are the called according to his purpose' (Romans 8:28, KJV). 'But how can I know that is true for me?' asks someone. The answer is the incarnation. God has given the final proof that all his promises are sure, that he is faithful to everything he has ever said. So that promise is sure for you. Whatever your state or condition may be, whatever may happen to you, he has said, 'I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee' (Heb. 13:5, KJV)–and he will not. He has said so, and we have absolute proof that he fulfills his promises. He does not always do it immediately in the way that we think. No, no! But he does it! And he will never fail to do it."
Wide-eyed, watching the snow.

History Is a Pendulum Not an Arc. At those times, history is a pendulum, swinging. That was a lesson the United States perhaps first learned in , when control of the young government swung from the Federalist Party to the Democratic-Republicans, in the first modern peaceful transfer of power of its sort.
A version of this article also appeared in the November edition of the Government Contracting Law Report. Implicit in every government contract is a .
US Politics & the Myth of the Pendulum Swing. It is part of the greatness of our 'two-party system', they contend; it reflects the American aversion to extremism on 'either side'. For the mainstream media, charting each degree of the pendulum's swing is the essence of the hour news cycle. The problem is that focusing on the to-and-fro. The age of Trump is not an indication of a course correction, it is a manifestation of a government that is broken on purpose. The same pendulum swing that led to Trump's election ensured that Democrats swept to power in 's "wave election".
The swing in the political pendulum to the right and the economic rationalist/supply side policies – of deregulation, privatisation, smaller government, tax cuts, low inflation, globalisation – that followed along with the peace dividend from the collapse of communism and attractively high starting point dividend yields and bond yields.
Based on a) ABC analyst Antony Green's calculations of the effect of boundary redistributions for the next election, b) Coalition MPs moving from the government to the crossbenches, and c) the outcome of the Wentworth by-election, the pendulum has the Coalition government on 72 of seats with the Labor opposition on 71 seats and a crossbench of eight seats. But now the pendulum seems to be swinging back. During the past 18 months, C2C was one of at least seven protesters that cleared the "hard facts" hurdle (or, in one case, challenged the contracting officer's failure to clear that hurdle) and successfully challenged the scope of a contracting officer's OCI review.

The pendulum is definitely swinging, but its direction is towards greater local autonomy and a stronger, not weaker role for local government and local governance. Pendulum swinging against state Republicans. When one party controls all three branches of government, as the Republicans have enjoyed at the state level since the election of Scott Walker in and at the national level with the election of Donald Trump in , the agenda can shift faster than the majority in the country likes to experience.
