It was the bussiest weekends of all, even my film scripting partner in crime was too busy this weekend to toil over the images and ideas … In Czech we say: the best things come in the end !!! Is there anything more important to be preserved than the world’s memory? Hardly anything if we want to maintain our human existence on the Earth. Everybody has the right to share the memory of the world: it’s his or her memory, too. That is not enough to preserve and digitize more and more books from our ancient times, but we have to do much more for their better understanding. The idea of getting blogs and Media Dragons high ranking with Google is one of the ways how to do it. Remember the Saturday night fever when Evan’s friend Heinz Schweers excelled himself at Seymour Theatre performing The Curious Pain of Louis XIX – with Under the Table Productions had taken a leaf out of chapter (Chapter TWO to be exact) of Cold River. We still managed to swim at Bronte and taste the great French food at Pause. Sydney is getting more and more colourful and risqué … Amazing gathering at Zoe’s HEARTY birthday party on Friday at Bronte a gathering peppered with bohemian souls such as German film producers, Mixed Identities from Old Shores, and Brissie born animators who called George Miller the BOSS (rather than Doctor) and not just of Happy Feet but also Creative Feet … These are the Unsung Heroes whose names may never be in lights; nevertheless their quiet dignity shines through, affirming the resilience of the human spirit.

The polls were right: the first round of France's presidential election came out just as they said. Centre-right candidate Nicolas Sarkozy is on top with 31.1%; Socialist Segolene Royal was a respectable second with 25.8%. French voters must now choose between them in the second round on 6 May.

The seven powers, Knowledge@Wharton, 1 March 2007, 4p. “[Hans Christian] Andersen used to say that fairy tales are written so that children can go to sleep, but also so that adults can wake up.” That’s why Alex Rovira, professor at ESADE [business school in Spain] decided that his latest book on management would be a fairy tale, rather than a mere explanation of his theories about management. In little more than two months, ‘The Seven Powers’ has become one of the best-selling non-fiction books in Spain, much like the author’s previous book, “Good Luck,” which was translated into more than 30 languages. On this occasion, Rovira has chosen the typical characters of a medieval story to explain the seven fundamental values that define a good leader: courage, responsibility, purpose, humility, confidence, love and cooperation.
