Spoiler warning: I've never written a spoiler-filled review before, but within my critique of this film, I wasn't able to get around it. If you intend to go in as clear as possible, bookmark this and return after. For all others, proceed with caution.
June in WONDER PARK. Courtesy of Paramount Animation and Nickelodeon Movies.
WONDER PARK could've been one of the better, more daring and robust animated features this side of Pixar's INSIDE OUT. However, the filmmakers failed to do one important thing: Kill the mom.
Hear me out. The feature being advertised – a slapstick comedy involving a young girl, who dreams up an amusement park populated by talking animals – bears only a passing resemblance to the actual film. In reality, this is a coming-of-age dramedy about a tween figuring out her journey through the grieving process by way of the sprawling amusement park she and her sickness-stricken mother created together. It's exquisitely animated, eloquent in its lessons on handling sorrow, and crafty when it comes to the park's design. But none of this makes any emotional impact because the filmmakers didn't commit to what was very likely their original creative decision – that Mom was supposed to die early on. It's clearly hinted at multiple times, and the story is obviously structured to build on that catalyst. But their ballsy allegory is castrated.
When fiercely independent and intelligent June was young (voiced by Sofia Mali), she loved to spend time with her caring mother (voiced by Jennifer Garner) imagining elaborate plans for a gigantic, well-attended amusement park they named "Wonderland." It's a magical, sun-drenched place where talking animals greet patrons and engage the imagination in order to entertain. Inside are a multitude of one-of-a-kind rides, unique foods and games galore. June and her mom would build dioramas that would spread from her room to the entire house. Even the neighborhood kids would come by just to be swept away by June's captivating spell.

All this changes when Mom gets a devastating call that she's sick (they avoid saying with what disease) and has to be sent far away for experimental treatments. I'd be lying to you, dear reader, if my own mother's crippling cancer diagnosis didn't flash into my mind. The sequence is handled much in the same tone as the tear-jerking montage in UP. It's gut-wrenching, as we figure that there's no way mom is ever going to be able to recover. They say their goodbyes as the golden hour light turns into a much cooler color palette and Dad (voiced by Matthew Broderick) chauffeurs Mom away, possibly for good.
Time passes, and June (now voiced by Brianna Denski) blossoms into a tween. The childish whimsy of Wonderland has been boxed up and put away. She's forlorn, neurotic and overprotective, especially when it comes to her father, whom she is convinced will die if not for her hawk-eye view. She's also shut out her best friend Bunky (voiced by Oev Michael Urbas) and snaps at her aunt, who's pushing her to open up memories that are now psychological wounds to her. All of these developments are indicators that June's sadness stems from Mom's absence in her life, and moreso, Mom's absence from the planet. Yet no one mentions Mom's status at this point – not because it'll upset June, but because it's a scene that's been scrubbed altogether. What person can survive an experimental treatment for a debilitating, life-threatening illness for more than a year? My own mother couldn't. If June's mom survives, will it feel like a totally unsatisfying and unrealistic cop-out? It does.
In a fit of blind, grief-fueled rage, June throws the Wonderland blueprint into the fire, thinking it's gone forever. But much like the chimney smoke in MARY POPPINS, the floating atmospheric ash acts as siren call for help. And, one summer day, June finds herself smack dab in the middle of her own creation hidden deep in the forest. Instead of it brimming with life and happiness, it's now a decaying, desolate mess overtaken by minion-like "chimpanzombies" terrorizing the park's animal staff and a dark, destructive tornado-like hole in the sky. It's a metaphor. June's journey will be about learning how to deal with the delicate intricacies and sneaky, overwhelming nature of grief, working through it helping to save others as well as herself.

Without someone to guide the picture (former director Dylan Brown was fired in early 2018 over "inappropriate and unwanted conduct"), pacing issues and wild tonal shifts occur. If it's not enough that June's real world resolution negates her entire arc, it takes a very long time for her to even arrive at the park and start the healing process. Act one is filled with many repeated emotional beats, seeing June put her imagination to use and collaborative playtime with mom. The act of getting her to a place of literal discovery is plodding in nature. She's sent to math camp where there's an extended song sequence on the bus as the campers sing. The sequence involving park greeter/ narcoleptic blue bear Boomer (voiced by Ken Hudson Campbell) awakening on a rollercoaster is loud filler that doesn't contribute to the character-driven narrative and only adds to the run time.
Despite the problems that tend to overwhelm the narrative, evidence of a beautiful, sentimental film – one that gives people of all ages the tools and coping mechanisms to deal with unimaginable loss – shines through. Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec's screenplay is dotted with heartening dialogue like Mom's words of wisdom when she leaves her daughter, to "keep the light inside you shining bright." It's mirrored later by June's enlightened sentiment, "The darkness isn't gone. But maybe it's there to remind us of the light that surrounds us." They effortlessly draw parallels between the fantasy land's plight (and that of the characters within) and June's internal struggle with the darkness in her real world, which adds innumerable stakes to her existential crisis.
It's heartrending to see a female protagonist that doesn't pander to young kids in the audience. She's a young girl actively putting her engineering skills and imagination to good use. Gus the beaver (voiced by Kenan Thompson) expressing "What the chuck," is another earned moment, at least when it comes to levity. Plus, the animators give this a crackling energy. The park's wide-ranging designs (from its sci-fi, western and carnival influences) induce a child-like sense of wonder. We see formative events unfold through June's POV, whether that be her out-of-control go-cart across town, or her meltdown after attempting to rescue her blueprint from the fireplace.
Though it's not all bad, what's lousy has a stranglehold on what's good. What could have been wonderful leaves audiences wondering what went so wrong.
WONDER PARK opens on March 15.

KEY WEST, Fla. -- Almost 150 bearded, portly men are gathered in Key West to prove their resemblance to legendary author Ernest Hemingway, as they compete in the 38th annual Hemingway Look-Alike Contest that began Thursday night.
The competition is a highlight of the island's Hemingway Days festivities, celebrating the writing talent and colorful lifestyle of the man who penned literary classics while living in Key West during the 1930s.
Look-alike hopefuls from as far away as Australia and Norway are vying for victory during the three-night competition at Sloppy Joe's Bar, where Hemingway often drank with friends.
Cheered by crowds of spectators, Thursday's aspiring "Ernests" took turns parading across Sloppy Joe's stage. They were scrutinized by a judging panel of former winners including 2017's Richard Filip of Fayetteville, Texas.
Most entrants chose to wear the sportsman's attire or safari togs characteristic of Hemingway.
Many are repeat contenders including Michael Groover, husband of celebrity chef Paula Deen (00:28-00:37), who was on hand to cheer him on.
The contest's second preliminary round is set for Friday. The 2018 winner is to be chosen Saturday night -- the 119th anniversary of Hemingway's July 21 birth.
Hemingway Days continues through Sunday with events including an offbeat "Running of the Bulls," the three-day Havana Club Key West Marlin Tournament and a historic tour of Hemingway sites in Key West.

You cannot bring more than minimal amounts of alcohol into the State of Illinois. Illinois has placed many restrictions on the importation of alcohol. These restrictions do not only apply to businesses, but also apply to individual Illinois residents. The Federal law gives Illinois full authority to regulate the flow of alcohol into the State.
Another way of saying this is that no one can bring alcohol into a state unless doing so complies with the laws of that state.
In 2005, the US Supreme Court ruled, in the case of Granholm v. Heald, that if wineries within a state could sell directly to consumers than out-of-state wineries should also be allowed to sell to those same consumers. Further, the Court held that any state laws which did not allow this were unconstitutional restrictions on the free flow of interstate commerce.
In order to comply with Granholm v. Heald, Illinois created a license that allows wineries to ship directly to Illinois customers. Under Illinois law, and out-of-state winery with this license "may ship, for personal use and not for resale, not more than 12 cases of wine per year to any resident of this State who is 21 years of age or older." 235 ILCS 5/6-29. This license is available only for the shipment of out-of-state wine and does not apply to beer or spirits. Further, there is no similar license that allows any out-of-state shipments of beer or spirits.
The restrictions on shipping alcohol into Illinois not only apply to manufacturers and wholesalers, but to individuals as well. Illinois regulations allow an individual to bring in only 1 gallon of alcoholic beverages per year. For any alcohol beyond that amount, the individual must obtain express permission from the Illinois Liquor Control Commission. However, the Commission will not grant a license to import more than 12 bottles of wine into Illinois.
Illinois law governing the shipment and distribution of alcohol is extremely complex. If you have any questions regarding the transportation of liquor or any related licensing issues, it is important that you contact a qualified Chicago liquor license attorney to discuss your situation.

Bulls Seek Revenge vs Greensboro Friday Night
The Windy City Bulls will take on the Greensboro Swarm this Friday night at the Sears Centre Arena. The Bulls look to get a little revenge, after losing to the Swarm in Greensboro, 130-125, back on December 10th.
A player who has played very well the past couple of games for the Bulls is newcomer Andre Dawkins. He has been able to fill it up from behind the three-point line, something the WC Bulls have lacked most of the season.
In the last game against the Swarm, Dawkins went an impressive 5-7 from behind the arc, finishing with 17 points off the bench. Dawkins, an All-Rookie Third Team selection in the D-League last year, has proven how good he can be.
In college, playing for Duke, he was the backup guard on the 2010 championship squad. In an Elite Eight game against Baylor in that same season, Dawkins hit two big three pointers in the first half, to stop the game from slipping away early.
Six years later and he is still getting buckets from deep. Speaking of three-point shooting, Dawkins changed his number from 20 to 34, as a tip of the cap to his idol, Ray Allen.
The Duke Blue Devils' official website even called him a "deadly three-point shooter" on his bio page. No doubt, the Bulls got a very solid sniper in the former Texas Legends player.
He's also noted as being an avid golfer. This certainly has had to help his precision because, similar to basketball, the goal of golf is to get a ball in a hole that's the same shape as the ball itself.
Just think of a three-point shot as a long putt, minus the slopes of the putting greens. But, if Dawkins can continue to be that key spark plug, then it should be a fun matchup because the Swarm have a very solid player of their own who needs highlighting.
How can we forget the Harrison twins who played for the Kentucky Wildcats? These guys hit big shot after big shot in the NCAA Tournament throughout their college career.
Well, Aaron Harrison now plays for the Swarm, and he played extremely well against the Bulls previously. Harrison went off for 28 points that game, while also collecting nine rebounds.
One obvious thing that stands out about Harrison is his ability to heat up at the right moments to help his team get a win. He's done this a few times in college, more famously in the NCAA Tournament.
One of those gleaming moments was in 2014, when he hit a three-pointer to beat the Michigan Wolverines in the regional finals and advance. Furthermore, he hit another game-winning long range bomb, to defeat the Wisconsin Badgers in the semi-finals in that same tournament.
He'd finish with eight points and it he scored those in the second half, when the intensity was revving up. Just because college and D-League basketball are two totally different animals, doesn't mean you lost the clutch bug.
Some guys are just great at it. In the last three games with the Swarm, Harrison racked up 15 points in two of them.
That's definitely not what he did to the Bulls the last time these squads dueled. Even if he doesn't drop 28 points every night, he's still that deadly weapon the Swarm could use if the game gets tight.
So that's who the Bulls should try to keep an eye on Friday night. If both Dawkins and Harrison are drilling threes like they are both capable of, then we can be in for quite a treat.
Be sure to listen to ALL home games and read up about the the team, on the official radio home of Windy City Bulls basketball, SportsTownChicago.com.

In case you didn't know this already, VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, and it's one of the most useful protection tools nowadays. A good VPN can help you protect your computer and the data on it against hackers. On top of that, such a service also gives you extra levels of privacy by hiding your online activity. On top of that, you can geo-spoof your location through your VPN, which means that you can access websites or content that isn't available in your country.
Here are the top five best VPN services of 2017, in no particular order.
The main advantage of VyprVPN is that it owns and controls its entire network, which makes for the fastest connection possible. The service has no usage logs, and it helps defeat port blocking and various other issues. On top of that, its Chameleon technology makes it incredibly stealthy, therefore you can rest assured that your privacy is protected at every step.
This particular service comes along with excellent privacy credential due to its lack of logs and bitcoin style of payment. On top of that, torrenting is allowed when using it. IPVanish's DNS leak protection and its smart DNS are some other top features the service provides its usfers. However, if we were to mention one con, that would be customer support, which is lackluster at best.
The number one pick on this particular list of best vpns, ExpressVPN is surely a favorite among many users of such services. This is mostly due to its fantastic 24/7 customer support, as well as its robust encryption features and the fact that is has servers spread across 94 countries in the world. However, its main flaw is its price: ExpressVPN is the costliest service on this list, but you get what you're paying for, that's for sure.
Buffered is a Hungarian VPN service whose geographical location makes it perfect for US and UK citizens because it's outside the reach of their information collecting agencies. The best thing about it has to be its port discovery feature, which is unique among VPNs. A main downside to Buffered is that it does keep some connection logs, which is a big minus as far as privacy is concerned.
VPNArea is another VPN service whose geographical positioning (Bulgaria) makes it ideal because it's outside the reach of the NSA and GCHQ. It has great speed and servers in 47 countries. However, while the service works perfectly fine, it's certainly the weakest one on this list. Still, its basic features make it worthwhile and it's certainly a fantastic value for money. You certainly will get what you pay for, and you won't have to pay a lot.


The Simcenter Amesim Hydraulic library is widely used by the customers especially in the automotive, oil and gas and mechanical industries. As a multi-physics tool Simcenter Amesim allows users to create systems based on hydraulic components on which can be added other types of components such as mechanical, signals or electrical for instance.
By combining all these components Simcenter Amesim offers customers the possibility to build and design hydro-mechanical systems such as pumps, control valves, hydraulic suspensions and so on.
In order to illustrate the capabilities of Simcenter Amesim for hydraulic system design we are going to use a hydraulic jack as an example. Here is shown how a double effect hydraulic jack is simply represented in Simcenter Amesim.
The hydraulic and mechanical components represented on this sketch have been chosen from the Hydraulic and the Mechanical libraries with respect of the wanted design of the system.
Indeed, for this example of a hydraulic jack several types of hydraulic actuators are available and depending on the actual physical system you are able to pick the one that closely represents it.
These hydraulic actuators models are all functional models that can also be modeled on a further approach using HCD (Hydraulic Component Design) in order to get a more advanced physical representation.
Once all the components have been dragged and dropped on the sketch to create the desired system the next step is the choice among several submodels. The submodels of a component represents in other words the level of complexity of the physics used to model this component. If you take as an example the mass you can notice that there are three different submodels available. Usually the level of complexity increases as you scroll down in the list.
These parameters can either be obtained from the manufacturer datasheets, by measurements or calculations (analytical equations) if it is a conceptual design for example.
Now the model is ready to run the simulation and proceed to post-processing.
Once the model has run you can visualize along the time the variables of each components using the plots just by dragging and dropping on the sketch each variables you want to see.
Plotting the variables is one of the ways that allows you to check if the system is responding properly and to proceed to the needed changes if not. But plots can also be used to compare different designs. The variables that are usually plot for hydraulic components are pressure, pressure losses, flow rates (or velocity).
Simcenter Amesim offers you a Study Manager that enables you to easily and quickly create batch study simulations in the aim of comparing several configurations of your system.
Using a batch study allows you to realize parametric analysis in order to determine the influence of the variation of some of the parameters of your system.
In the frame of this hydraulic jack example we have compared the piston displacement along the time with respect of the piston diameter. If you plot all the results on the same graph you are able to see precisely which configuration reaches your expectations and the design that suits you the best.
This just a starter example on how Simcenter Amesim can help you in the design of a hydraulic jack. Nevertheless if you take this hydraulic jack model as a base you can switch to a slightly more complex example that shows how Simcenter Amesim can be useful for hydraulic systems optimization.
At an early stage of the development hydraulic system designs are not quite optimized especially in terms of pressure levels, flow rate distribution and energy consumption. Basically hydraulic components are assembled to build the system and then tested to check if the system works properly. When the system functioning has been validated you can now proceed to the optimization of the performances of this system. Here is the system that we used as an example. The first step is to verify if all the requirements that you have defined at the beginning are fulfilled.
In this case the requirement for the pressure level at the pump outlet was not to be higher than 5 bars but when you check out the results.
The maximum pressure reached is 30.103 bars which is way beyond the expected value. The system then needs to be improved in order to keep that pressure value under 5 bars. The easiest solution is to add a pressure regulation system. To do so a pressure relief valve is added in parallel of the volumetric pump in order to regulate the pump outlet pressure at the required value.
Before adding the pressure relief valve in order to regulate the pump outlet pressure you have noticed that the pump was capable of providing a lot pressure at the outlet. However what you have to keep in mind is that to provide 5 bars or way more at its outlet the pump consumes the same amount of energy. Which means that energy is wasted when a pressure regulation is used in the system.
What solutions do we have to prevent this waste of energy and then optimize the power consumption?
In fact there are many solutions that can be used such as reusing the surplus of pressure to feed other systems, using a piloted variable displacement volumetric pump (a pivoting or a sliding vane pump for instance) in order to adapt the outlet pressure or using a variable electrical motor.
For the purpose of this demonstration the third option will be used. Nevertheless other demos available in Simcenter Amesim Help documentation can show you how to implement the other options.
Basically in this system power is wasted any time the system gets static. Which means that any time that hydraulic jack won't move or reach one or the other end stops power will be lost as the pump won't be necessary.
What this actuation control does is that it senses the hydraulic jack displacement and sends this information to the electrical motor so that the pump can be stopped every time that it is not needed.
This example is also a relevant way to show how multi-physics can be used in Simcenter Amesim for hydraulic systems optimization.

Seeing lots of search queries bringing people to site looking for updates and advice on road conditions. Please add a note if you have a second to share what you know. Updating the update: Here are two votes for I5 vs. 99 once you do make it down from the Hill — Katelyn Hackett from Seattlest and WSDOT. Also, Madison is probably safest bet to I5.
Update: Coming back from Sea-Tac? Southern approach to the Hill is advised in comments below. Take Rainier to 12th or 14th for a more gradually sloped approach to Capitol Hill, then work your way toward home from the top.
Sea-Tac is a disaster. Making a few calls to see if the Madison to I5 route along the south side of the Hill is doable for anybody braving it.
Metro says they'll be at half capacity again on Monday.
City has updated its safety and services info like trash/recycling.
Seattlest's MvB lives covered the lastest storm's impact on CHS from end to end in this photo essay.
There are several new snow and ice photos added to the CHS flickr pool.
I'm tucked away here in frozen Alaska watching the crazy reports and pictures. Hard to believe I'm seeing Capitol Hill in some of these. Here's what we know (and some of what we don't) thanks to comments, below, and the rest of the online universe. I'm going to leave this post in place to continue the conversation. Be safe out there.
Somewhere between 4″ and 6″ fell in the Capitol Hill area overnight. Maybe 9″ since it all began.
Metro says service cut severely today. Here is their adverse weather page for what it's worth.
Latest Capitol Hill snow pics from flickr.
Here are some pictures from Blogazar.com of a walk around the Hill after the bars closed last night.
I'm missing the fun that's supposed to hit today. So keep me posted on how this all shakes out.
Starting to see some snow falling – light but consistent – 2:30pm.
Going in earnest now. come on 6 inches!
3:30pm. Lots and lots of little flakes are falling. Just got back from QFC for a last-minute stock up. Top 3 items in others' baskets: 1) Duraflames, 2) Chips and salsa, 3) booze. It's going to be a fun night.
I just got back from QFC with those exact items PLUS a frozen pizza.
Still just light flurries. Anyone know what paths off the hill are clear (for a car), or the best way to find out?
if you need to get south, best way would be to take broadway south to Rainer.
North, I'd say broadway to 10th ave E.
But leaving quickly would be a priority. Also, cables for tires are only 40 bucks!
I hear some cars (and one very large tour bus) starting to struggle getting up Madison around 19th (going west). Madison Market is closing at 6pm. Lots of people out on foot.
happy snow day everyone! get out there and enjoy it!!
Made it up from downtown on Pike, then took Madison to 19th.
Also, sledding on Aloha between 18th and 19th IS ON.
Metro now says the 10 and 12 are running again. Wonder how long that will last? I haven't spotted it on 19th, anyone else?
Update: at 7:30, #12 trolleybus is running on 19th!
beer and burgers at smith were excellent. not too crowded yet, either. great way to spend the snowstorm.
Not only is 15th relatively drivable, most of the businesses up there are still open. That means you can get a hot cocoa/toddy after you go sledding on Aloha – hurray!
here is a link to the City's latest news release with info for Seattle residents about what they are doing and how to stay safe.
I called the East Precinct's main number and had a friendly chat about what was open/closed/dangerous and was ultimately sent down Bellevue to Pine>Boren> I-5 S. Good advice!
Ooh that's a smart way to do it! Glad they were helpful!
Our local star atmospheric scientist, Cliff Mass, has a blog in which he comments and predicts local weather.
How much would you say we've gotten so far?
Also, can anyone believe Volunteer Park Cafe ran out of chocolate for drinks earlier this week? Crisis…has it been remedied?
Thanks for the tips on getting off the hill…I am supposed to pick up my mother-in-law tomorrow at noon.
I'm two blocks from Holy Names and just measured what's on my patio table. Assuming we had two inches on there before this started, we have a solid six now, which means we've gotten 4″ so far. There's no end in sight and it's beautiful. I'm very, very happy there's no wind.
After last night's mistake of falling asleep with the balcony door open (whoops) and waking up freezing, we finally turned on the bedroom heater for the first time since we moved here 1 1/2 years ago. Stinky! Anyone else burn off a bit of dust from the heating coils or are you still bravely tossing on a sweater and a pair of socks?
1am. Just got home from a very packed Smith. Huge snowball fight broke out on 15th and it look like several passing cars were pelted. The snow is deep, like 5-6″. The wind is starting to pick up and we experienced at least 5-10 seconds of blizzard-like conditions on our walk home, or at least it felt like it at the time.
There are fireworks and screaming on olive at bellevue, with various incidents of urination happening on the saint's building. It's nice that people are having so much fun out there! I keep seeing people go by on snowboards and cross country skis.
I braved the Snowpocalypse and went to the Mercury. Turned out to be a good night for it – Santarchy came to visit. Santas + goths = awesome.
So that's what was happening! Looks like fun!
#2 below by joshc who also landed a great pic on the Slog.
#48 buses (on snow route) are regularly passing E. John Street at 20th: single or bendy diesel buses with chains.
(and the 43, together with the 8,11,12 are suspended now, anyway).
A quiet relaxed dinner at the Elysian last night: few customers, lots of staff.
And wonderful big windows to watch the flakes floating down.
New snow falling – 11:40am Sunday.
I measured a total of 9-1/4″ of snow on an untrod-portion of the sidewalk on 18th Ave. East.
I just saw a 48 blow through a red light at Broadway & Harrison. Maybe they don't have stop lights on the normal 48 route?
We spotted the 3 and the 4 on Broadway on Thursday! What are the chances of that 3 getting anywhere close to Madrona and/or 34th?
After an entire day I returned home with the fam around 6:30 pm. The roads were pretty tough in our front wheel drive Mazda. I5 was ok the problems occured when I tried to get up the Hill (to the eastside). I choose poorly by taking 520 to 23rd…ending up almost cresting the hill to Aloha before sliding in place. Quite a few cars were stuck trying to get up 23rd. I turned around and up going downtown via 520 and I5. Exited at Union and we came up Pike, it was touch and go but we eventually made it to 19th and Madision and home. I cursed many a red light coming up pike to Madison.
Thanks for the info Dave. My husband gets in from Minneapolis at midnight…awesome. So, not up 23rd, and maybe not up Pike? Has anyone exited the freeway earlier and come up from the South through the ID?
I took Rainier north on thursday (from i90), it has to be the gentlest slope up the hill, and you can get to 12th pretty easily, just look out for folks going downhill at intersections.
If you need to get to 17th/18th south of union, go north first on 12th (past pike/pine), and try to wiggle up to 15th/19th, then go back south.
I asked on Twitter and sounds like the approach from south is way to go.

Orchard management saved hail-damaged kiwifruit crop.
TAURANGA, May - A Tauranga kiwifruit orchard devastated by hail late last year saved almost all of its export crop as a result of the decision to allow the orchard to regenerate rather than cut and remove the damaged vines.
"I'm still in a state of shock as to how good the orchard looks and just can't believe we got a crop off there at all, let alone the fantastic yield – it's just amazing," said Kevin Haua, chairman of Mangatawa Papamoa Blocks Inc., a Maori incorporation which owns the orchard.
The hail strike in November last year cut a narrow, but devastating swathe through Tauranga's Welcome Bay area. The major impact of the hail was in a catchment in the Mangatawa/Welcome Bay Road/Kairua Road region, which mostly affected Seeka growers. NZX-listed Seeka is New Zealand's biggest kiwifruit grower, with both leased and managed orchards, and is also a major post-harvest operator for its own and other growers' fruit. It has a significant Maori ownership, with 16 per cent owned collectively by local Maori trusts and incorporations.
About 35 hectares of orchards that supply Seeka suffered significant damage, with another 50-to-75 hectares that were less affected.
The Mangatawa Papamoa Blocks orchard had 22 hectares of Hayward Green and 0.5 hectares of Sungold (G3) under cultivation, all of which was shredded.
Mr Haua, Mangatawa operations manager Paula Werohia, Mangatawa Orchard Manager Steve Law, and Bryan Grafas, Seeka General Manager, Orchard Division, assessed the damage and discussed the options.
The pre-hail estimate for the hectarage was for 247,000 trays. After the hail, Seeka estimated there had been a loss of approximately 50,000 trays of flower buds. The insurance assessment was for a total write-off.
"But although the canopy was badly shredded and there were flower buds all over the ground, we could see they were starting to open," said Mr Law.
He estimated there were potentially 150,000-180,000 trays still hanging, and believed even if the orchard only managed to grow and harvest 150,000 trays, they would be better off than cutting back and starting again.
The owners were very supportive of Seeka's recommendation to try and regenerate the original crop, said Mr Law. One key factor in the decision was the fact that the orchard was part of the Kiwistart programme of early maturing fruit going to market at the opening of the export season in early April, which tends to get better pricing.
The decision paid off above expectations, with the orchard eventually harvesting 217,000 trays –described by the owners as a stunning outcome and a stark contrast to those orchards which decided to cut out.
Mr Grafas said the result highlighted the need to consider all options and act promptly in the event of a natural disaster. After the hail, the vines still had a percentage of heathy flower buds left and the orchard manager believed once they started forming fruit, the canopy would regenerate, which was what happened.
"Steve had the wisdom to straight away take action and put fertiliser on and copper spray to protect the wounds from PSA and kick-start the recovery process," sad Mr Grafas.


The Planning Notepad by John Krissilas: Is Augmented Content the Future of Advertising?
Is Augmented Content the Future of Advertising?
So began the presentation by Nick Parish of Contagious Magazine fame at an event hosted by the Institution of Communications Agencies on May 14, 2012. Despite Nick's candor, the audience full of Creative Directors and Account Execs didn't flinch at his words. They listened as Nick gave his central thesis: the old way of advertising—of influencing behaviour—is dead. It's disruptive and it interrupts the content that people truly want to consume.
His alternative is a shift in the way we think about marketing to people: from disrupting the content that is being consumed to augmenting it. By intersecting the worlds of technology, communications, and culture, advertisers can break through the zeitgeist with content that's useful, relevant, entertaining, and that ultimately enhances the current experience. Augmented content, as opposed to advertising, isn't about views or impressions, it's about engagement and reactions.
Designed as an experience that would stay open on your computer screen or iPad during the entire football game, this website featured the brand's well-known mascots reacting to live footage as it happened. They even reacted to the Superbowl Ads—getting particularly upset during a Pepsi ad.
The objective of this augmented content experience is purely to entertain.
The brand, a sponsor and facilitator of many extreme sports events, including snowboarding, created a multi-dimensional experience when watching taped footage of a snowboarding event. Using the Shazam app, viewers could watch a "helmet-cam"-style POV video stream on their smartphone, synced up with the bird's-eye perspective shown on TV.
The objective of this augmented content experience is to enhance the existing content.
For the other football (aka soccer), Heineken took their sponsorship to the next level with an app that allows you to play along with the game, make predictions about plays and the score. It was based on two insights: (1) 80% of those who watch the game do it alone at home; (2) When you watch sports, you really do feel like you have an influence on the game.
The objective of this augmented content experience is to go beyond entertainment and enhancement, and truly engage people as they're watching the game. Very cool!
What do you think about augmented content? Is it the future of advertising, or an expensive fad?
Interesting that you cite the Coca Cola bears as a example, I remember hearing a lot of flack from people that is was pretty lame - which is a very expensive risk.
From what Nick mentioned, engagement was pretty high from those who liked it and reserved a spot - something like 28 minutes of time spent with it open. Not bad!

Abstract: If the world is flat, what, then, are the implications for and obligations of educational leaders? Leaders in Bangalore, India offer habits of mind, of heart, and of action that can serve as the bases for a model of educational leadership for the twenty-first century.
A New Alexandrian Meets the Flat World
The best and noblest gifts of humanity cannot be the monopoly of a particular race or country.
Ideagoras, The New Alexandrians, Prosumers, Peer Networks, Weapons for Mass Collaboration, Mash-ups (Tapscott & Williams, 2006). If these terms seem to be little more than Greek, then consider these questions: What must I know and be able to do to lead in a global society? What must those whose scholarship and learning I guide know and be able to do? How do I, as a leader, prepare a generation of children for a world that I will not see? Clearly, no multiple guess answers to these questions exist. While on its face there may seem to be little relationship between ideagoras and the questions of leadership in a global society, I submit that they are inextricably linked. The clarity of their convergence, however, will require some background context.
Less than two years ago as I began preparing to teach a doctoral course for educational leaders on transforming organizations in a global society, a triptych of themes emerged. First, implicit in the notion of transforming organizations was the idea of leadership--the habits of mind, of heart, and of action that a global leader would embrace. Second, there was the organization itself--the attributes of one that embodied global perspectives. Finally, there was the matter of a global society--its meaning and its implications for leadership and for organizations. I examined any research that seemed to address these questions. I sought the counsel of leaders of global organizations and began to consider the work that these individuals did, seeking possible analogues to serve the educational community. President and Chief Executive Officer Samuel R. Starr of Sterling Commerce, Inc. suggested I read Tom Friedman's, The world is flat (2005).
Friedman (2005) posited that in only the past several years, ten forces have served to flatten the world and, "It is this triple convergence--of new players, on a new playing field, developing new processes and habits for horizontal development--that ... is the most important force shaping global economics and politics in the early twenty-first century" (pp. 181-182). As I began poring through Friedman's book and considering his thesis, a model for leadership emerged that spoke to the needs of educational leaders of the twenty-first century. The questions that resulted were:
1. If we embrace the assumption that the world is flat, then what are these new rules, new roles, and new relationships of which we must be aware to be successful?
a. What must young people know and be able to do?
b. What must educational leaders know and be able to do?
2. What are the implications of these new rules, new roles, and new relationships for the nations of the world?
a. How should this knowledge serve to inform educational policy in our nation?
b. How should this knowledge serve to inform the training of educational leaders in our nation?
In an effort to begin exploring these issues, I considered the role that two emerging powerhouses--China and India--were playing on the global stage. I initially found India to be the more compelling of the two, for it was the world's largest democratic nation state. The third question that emerged then was, If we look at leaders in India, are there habits of mind, of heart, and of action that can help us understand these new rules, new roles, and new relationships? When Sam Starr (personal communication, January 10, 2006) declared, "If you would you like to meet the people in Friedman's (2005) book, I can make the introductions," the many questions about leadership in a global society moved beyond the library databases to the fragrant, jasmine-scented gardens of Southern India.
Embracing the Flat World
By definition, a truly global company has no physical or regional boundaries. It builds planetary ecosystems for designing, sourcing, assembling, and distributing products on a global basis.
--Don Tapscott & Anthony D. Williams
What, then, are educational leaders to know and be able to do? Wheatley (1999) used quantum physics as a means to describe organizational theory and suggested that the complexities of chaos theory mirror the complexities of the human systems that we create. She asserted,
In organizations, we are very good at measuring activity. Fractals
suggest the futility of searching for ever finer measures that
concentrate on separate parts of the system. There is never a
satisfying end to this reductionist search, never an end point
where we finally know everything about even that one small part of
the system. Scientists of chaos study shapes in motion. If we were
to understand organizations in a similar way, what would constitute
the shapes in motion of an organization?
Different answers to this question are emerging from studies of
organizations as whole systems. Learning to look for wholeness is a
new skill for us, and it has been difficult not to rely on old
measures, even when we know they don't give us the information we
need. But seeing patterns is not a foreign skill for us; we are,
after all, a pattern-recognizing species ... But after so many years
of data analysis has left us drowning in increasing minutia, we need
to help one another reconnect to this innate ability. (p. 125)
To enter Wheatley's (1999) world of "form and shape" (p. 126), I chose to examine the questions about leadership from a qualitative perspective, where detailed field notes and interviews would serve as the basis from which patterns could emerge. This approach would permit a more thoughtful and long-term examination of the three levels of the culture of an organization and of the leaders who guided them--the artifacts, its espoused values and beliefs, and its basic underlying assumptions (Schein, 2004). Schein's work on organizational culture and leadership compliments Wheatley's, for he maintained that discerning anything beyond artifacts is a complex matter and that an attempt to discern underlying assumptions from artifacts alone can lead one down a delusional path of misinterpretation. He stated,
My argument is that unless one digs down to the level of the basic
assumptions, one cannot really decipher the artifacts, values, and
norms. On the other hand, if one finds some of those basic
assumptions and explores their interrelationship, one is really
getting at the essence of the culture and can then explain a great
deal of what goes on. This essence can sometimes be analyzed as a
paradigm in that some organizations function by virtue of an
interlocking, coordinated set of assumptions. Whereas each one
alone might not make sense, the pattern explains the behavior and
the success of the organization in overcoming its external and
internal challenges [italics added]. (p. 59)
Bangalore, India, serves as the equivalent of Silicon Valley in the United States. With its cows in the road as ubiquitous as the temples, mosques, and churches, this city of 5,545,000 is a study in contrasts. Governmental infrastructure is a huge problem, and garbage and potholes punctuate every moment of the drive to Electronic City, which houses many of the famous multinational corporations that serve as the backbone for India's lead role in the flat world. Infosys Technologies Limited, often described as Disneyworld's Epcot Center in real time, is a lush, verdant array of gardens, architecturally intriguing buildings, walking pathways, and food courts, and is but one example of the future of India.
While many of my interviews with executives and professors were organized in advance of my arrival in India, some conversations began in unlikely places: breakfast in the cafe, the hotel entrance while waiting for one's driver, or a conversation with the hotel concierge could result in meeting an executive and a subsequent interview. I met IBM Vice President Anthony Riggs on his first morning in Bangalore and when he learned that I was in India to research leadership, he knew we must talk. Often, conversations began with more global views of leadership. Riggs asserted,
I have a vision that we are not stuck in a place in time and that
you and I ... are changing the world. I will not accept what has
been handed to me. I feel that I have the power to shape where
we're going and I know you do too. I'm not going to play the cards
that are dealt me and I'm going to look for a new hand.... Forward
thinkers.... make the world a better place. (personal
communication, April 21, 2006)
Changing the world is indeed a tall order, and while the lessons are tentative and the patterns not completely formed, themes from a land many time zones from the United States of America are emerging and recurring. I offer five considerations regarding habits of mind, of heart, and of action that can help us in formulating the new rules, new roles, and new relationships necessary to lead in a global society. They are: (a) Be a learner; (b) Spend time in the world; (c) Value innovation; (d) Maintain transparency; and (e) Seek the best. Following each consideration are questions to reflect upon for yourself and for those whom you serve as a leader.
Global Leaders are Learners
They listen. They question. They step lightly but immerse themselves deeply wherever their planes land. Most hold multiple degrees--the most popular in India being engineering as an undergraduate and MBA at the graduate level. Global leaders insist that everyone else in their midst also be learners. The Infosys Leadership Institute prepares far more leaders than its own ranks can absorb, but it sees this seeming creation of its own competition as raising the bar for all. Rajani Kanth Katragadda, Associate Vice President of the Infosys Leadership Institute, explained, "If all you have is one apple, then you have to decide how much to cut off and give to others, but if you have a bushel of apples or an entire tree, then you can share with the entire world" (personal communication, April 20, 2006). Operating from a perspective of abundance rather than one of limitation is what he cites as a lasting pillar of leadership success. Within two days of his arrival, Anthony Riggs had dispatched a team from IBM in the United States to go to Bangalore to learn more. "One of my people will spend a year here. I have instructed him to change nothing. Rather, he is to learn and to report back everything to us" (A. Riggs, personal communication, April 21, 2006).
When was the last time you learned something new--something so new
that you could feel the fog blow away? What did you do with that
new knowledge? Do you read broadly and widely and see analogues
from other fields emerge that can support our work in educational
leadership? Were you curious enough about the terms, ideagora or
mash-up that you sought their meaning before you reached this
paragraph?
Global Leaders Spend Time in the World
They read the white papers. They keep up with the world news. They research broadly topics such as economics, sociology, and history. Their top executives brief them. But they do not stop there. They, themselves, visit the countries. Every Indian executive with whom I have worked has lived abroad for some period of time. Most had lived in the West and many had lived in other Asian countries, South America, or elsewhere. They possess a savvy that ranges from knowledge of music to languages, world history to art. They fight the necessity many times of the "fly by," where they realistically can only spend a few days in a country, and seek over time to understand nations in which they are presently a part and nations that are for them, on the horizon--the emerging markets.
Is your passport current? Do you use it? Does your knowledge of
China, India, and other global players extend beyond what you
learned in sixth grade world history? Do you get off the tour bus
and immerse yourself in other cultures in ways that make you feel a
bit awkward or do you merely transport your comfortable life into
another time zone?
Global Leaders Value Innovation
They value innovation, but not at the expense of the culture of another nation or of the organization. They recognize that to move fast, you sometimes have to move slowly, and they pay attention to the values of the culture in which they find themselves (Schein, 2004). On acquiring the Bangalore-based company, Yantra Solutions, Sam Starr worked with its executives to make a gradual transition to the "Sterling Way," and sought to keep the best of the new company's values and beliefs. While after one year's time, Yantra became Sterling Commerce, Inc., the name, Yantra, which holds many meanings in Sanskrit, became the name of the company's newly formed foundation. In the spirit of Abraham George's (2005) establishment of Shanti Bhavan, a school for the poor, they committed the foundation's resources to supporting the needs of local primary schools. Rather than impose the values of the parent company, global leaders seek to move beyond the multinational model, which inculcates the parent's values to the children regardless of the implication, and seek to embrace a transnational model. Buck Devashish (personal communication, May 1, 2006), chief of India's Sterling Commerce, recognizes this model is one in which the organization embraces the unique strengths of each culture.
Do you embody the attributes of a "New Alexandrian" (Tapscott &
Williams, 2006, pp. 156-157)? Is your research extending beyond the
borders of your present efforts and seeking to collaborate with new
people, in new ways, and in new places? Have you considered
establishing an ideagora or creating a mash-up? Do only the science
teachers talk about ecosystems? Do these new ideas make their way
into your classrooms and leadership practices?
Global Leaders Are Transparent
"Put that in your research, Elizabeth," one Infosys executive (personal communication, May 6, 2007) said in reference to my digital recorder that was as welcome as I in the inner sanctum of a planning meeting. To a great degree, the paper shredder is becoming obsolete. These executives do not mind recordings of conversations and they do not call legal counsel. I do not sign non-disclosure forms in triplicate. Without question they openly share both successes and challenges that they face. They recognize the difficult and seemingly intractable problems, whether inequality, caste, corruption, or poverty. They seek cooperative relationships everywhere, and they aggressively work to involve those beyond their borders--the borders of their companies and of their nations. Wipro Vice President, Ranjan Acharya, meets regularly with government officials, querying, "What would be the worst thing that could happen if you tried this innovation" (personal communication, May 20, 2006)? While yet they blanch when he speaks, he is relentless in building the partnership. Restructuring the "democratic deficit" (Stiglitz, 2006, p. 281) is not only a concept whose time has come on a global scale, but must become embraced in authentic ways in our schools and universities.
Are decisions made in back room cabals or with the authentic
involvement of a broad spectrum of individuals within your
organization? Do you seek to build the leadership capacity of all
with whom you work or cling to traditional top-down leadership
models and organizational paradigms (Lambert, 2005)?
Global Leaders Seek the Best
Nationalism in the classic sense is a dying concept. If the best work is to be had in Bangalore, then leaders will go there. Riggs stated,
I deliver the work to the country where the best work is being
done. I look around the world and say, "Who's good at this?" If
their business model does not work and they become complacent, if
they have no interest in innovation, if they are satisfied with the
status quo, and if they are not in growth mode, then I challenge
them. If they are not willing to engage in the challenge, then I
look around the world and say, "Who will take it up?" (T. Riggs,
personal communication, April 21, 2006)
Clearly, this has huge implications for the United States and its children's future, however, the cow, in the case of India, is not out of the barn; it was never in the barn. In its recent report, the National Center on Education and the Economy (2007) whose New Commission calls for sweeping changes in American education and training, unequivocally echoes the IBM executive when it asserts,
The best employers the world over will be looking for the most
competent, most creative, and most innovative people on the face of
the earth and will be willing to pay them top dollar for their
services. This will not be true not just for the top professionals
and managers, but up and down the length and breadth of the
workforce. (p. xix)
Because loyalty has a new face irrespective of geographical boundaries--loyalty to values of learning, innovation, vision, collaboration and change--we must do more than pay close attention: we must take immediate action.
Do you surround yourself with people of many perspectives,
including those that may not wholly agree with yours? Do you seek
top quality individuals who embody these five principles to fill
roles in your organizations? Do you pay lip service to diversity or
actively seek those who represent many cultures, races, and
religions? Do you understand the implications for education in the
West because of the unrelenting surge of a well-prepared workforce
emerging from around the globe?
Unimagined Bridges
[What is needed is] a globalization of democracies, multilateralism, science and technology, and a global economic system designed to meet human needs. We could call this an Enlightened Globalization.
--Jeffrey D. Sachs
The authors' messages in this year's journal impel us to move beyond the comfort of our safety nets to consider a world beyond that which we presently imagine. The authors' research, their analyses and syntheses, and their challenges to action reflect three principal themes: the globalization of vision, of innovation, and of collaboration. First, the authors ask us to be aware of the ineluctable challenge we have to hold a broad vision of the work that we do--a vision that fearlessly explores the world in search of solutions to vexing conundrums. Second, they suggest new ways to approach leading, teaching, and learning and the moral imperative to level the global playing field so that all may partake. Finally, they offer by example, models of collaboration on an international scale. If we have presented a compelling story in this year's journal, then the words on these pages will become the conversations in your schools and universities, and will serve as new habits of mind, of heart, and of action.
Being an American guarantees us little any longer, but "in the deepest recesses of our beings lies the inner voice that tells us what is true and helps us to connect our heads with our hearts and our spirits with our work" (Reilly, 2006, p. 164). We can delude ourselves into believing that our "circle the wagons" mentality and our military might will protect us or we can recognize that the greatest protection is to humbly join the world community as learners, innovators, visionaries, collaborators, and change agents. As educational leaders, we have the unique opportunity to influence countless numbers of individuals, for we touch those who touch the children who shall live in that world we shall never see. The future, regardless of the language of one's birth, belongs to those who embrace values that know no geopolitical borders.
