Theodor W. Adorno

Book DescriptionAdorno was 21 years old when he travelled to Vienna in March 1925 to study musical composition with Alban Berg. Twenty years later, Adorno wrote: 'How much of my writing will remain is beyond my knowledge or my control, but there is one claim I wish to stake: that I understand the language of music as the heroes in fairy tales understand the language of birds.' It was no less than the desire to learn to speak this language that drew him to Berg. Adorno already knew what he wanted to compose before he came to Berg and the aim of his stay in Vienna and the following years was to learn to put this knowledge of musical compostition into practice. His correspondence with Berg, who was soon to be world-famous, is partly defined by his engagement with the compositional problems posed for the musical avant-garde by Schonberg's discovery of the twelve-tone technique, for which Adorno was to become an advocate, not least in Vienna and through Berg. This correspondence...

With so many new films being added to the ever growing Netflix catalogue, it can be difficult to know where to start when choosing a film that's both engaging but still appropriate for the younger audience. But have you checked out any Netflix kids movies which also include the best family movies on Netflix?
To make things a little easier, we've scoured through the best new kids movies on Netflix, meaning that those relaxing Sunday family film-watching afternoons, or those moments when all entertainment options appear to have been exhausted, become ever easier to handle.
So sit back, relax and let our child-friendly guide of kid movies on Netflix take full responsibility for the next couple of (hopefully, peaceful) hours.
Here are our best kids movies on Netflix right now!

30. Finding Dory (2016) — Available From February 1
Director: Andrew Standon
Rating: PG
The follow up of Pixar's enormously successful Finding Nemo which came out back in 2003, Finding Dory ended up outdoing it's predecessor by making over one billion dollars at the box office and becoming the highest-grossing animated movie opening ever in North America.
Plot: When Dory (who is played by Ellen Degeneres) was young, she became separated from her parents due to her poor memory and navigational skills. Now with the help of Marlin and Nemo, Dory sets out to find her parents.
Why it's great for kids:
- Kids are given a brilliant education into all the different kinds of marine creatures, life under the sea and animal cruelty with regards to creatures being held in cramped captivity.
- Family values, and the enduring love of parents for their children is really at the heart of this movie, as is the importance of teamwork, overcoming obstacles and friendship.
Things to be cautious of:
- Early in the movie we watch as Dory becomes separated from her parents — this may distress some of the younger viewers.
- Marlin, Nemo and Dory all have close encounters with dangerous aquatic characters, including a giant squid.
29. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe (2005) — Available From February 1
Director: Andrew Adamson
Rating: PG
Transforming C.S.Lewis's epic children's fantasy books into a movie franchise, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe is the first installment in a series which sees four children crossing through to another world via a magical wardrobe.
Plot: During an evacuation from London to the country home of a professor in an attempt to escape the Luftwaffe in WWII, four children discover a magical wardrobe which gives them access to a cold, icy world called Narnia. Here they meet all manner of unusual beast, and get sucked into the brewing conflict between a mythical lion called Aslan and the cruel White Witch.
Why it's great for kids:
- If you are a Christian, or you're interested in your children learning about Christianity, C.S.Lewis's Narnia books have often been cited as being thinly veiled metaphors for the life of Jesus, with Aslan portraying Christ.
- It's also great for kids who have many siblings or close cousins to see that everyone has an equally important role to play within a family unit.
- With a large special effects budget, The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe, is visually spectacular.
Things to be cautious of:
- In the opening scenes we see London being bombed quite aggressively in WWII.
- During the battle against the White Witch, some creatures are injured to the point of death. The White Witch (played by Tilda Swinton) may be scary to some more sensitive children.
28. Babe (1998) — Available From February 1
Director: Chris Noonan
Rating: G
An adaptation of the Dick King-Smith novel The Sheep-Pig, after seven years in development this Australian-American production went on to make 250 million dollars at the box office on a budget of 30 million as well as going on to receive seven Oscar nominations. Babe: Pig In The City, the sequel to Babe, is also available on Netflix from February 1.
Plot: After being orphaned and won as a prize at a county fair Babe is semi-reared by a Border Collie and soon becomes enamored with the idea of rounding up sheep like his dog peers. However, he begins to bond with the sheep and realizes that things are not always as easy for them as they may seem.
Why it's great for kids:
- Kids can learn how farms function, and also they can be given a mild explanation of where meat comes from.
- The main morals of the film are perseverance, not to care what other people think and to follow your heart.
- Visually it is also very entertaining as for the most part, real animals were used in the filming, with their mouths being transformed via visual effects in post production.
Things to be cautious of:
- One of the most distressing moments of the film arrives when a pack of dogs attack a pack of sheep, killing the oldest, Ma, who is a good friend to Babe.
- References to slaughter houses, and the process of turning animals into meat also thread throughout the movie.
27. Balto (1995) — Available From February 1
Director: Simon Wells
Rating: G
Spawning a trilogy of Balto Movies (Balto 2: Wolf Quest & Balto 3: Wings of Change) all of which are available on Netflix from February 1, Balto is loosely based on the real story of a dog of the same name who helped save the lives of young children from diphtheria back in 1925.
Plot: Balto, an outcast wolf-dog hybrid who lives with his adopted father, a snow goose, risks his life to prevent a dangerous disease from destroying his Alaskan hometown and taking the life of a young girl called Rosy.
Why it's great for kids:
- As the movie is based on real life events, Balto actually teaches children what life was like living in a rural Alaskan climate in the mid '20s.
- The movie carries some great morals, such as accepting people regardless of their differences, the importance of teamwork, of doing what is right and that friendship is incredibly important.
Things to be cautious of:
- The movie features lots of scenes in which the main characters find themselves in grave peril. Dogs fall off cliffs, children get dangerously ill, little coffins are being made up in case of child mortality and there is a scary grizzly bear in the woods. However, in nearly all these cases, danger is averted.
26. Disney's Alice Through The Looking Glass (2016)
Director: James Bobin
Rating: 9+
Based on Lewis Carroll's book of the same name, and a sequel to the 2010 movie Alice in Wonderland, Alice Through the Looking Glass stars Anne Hathaway, Johnny Depp, Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter, Sacha Baron Cohen, Rhys Ifans, Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall.
Plot: Returning to the weird and fantastical world of Wonderland, Alice travels back in time to help her "one true friend," the Mad Hatter.
Why it's great for kids:
- It's an immersive visual spectacle which will be sure to keep kids completely entranced for the entirety of its running time.
- It has a strong female protagonist, who is just as brave, capable and strong as her male counterparts — if not more so.
Things to be cautious of:
- There are a few scenes that children may find distressing. At several points in seems as though Alice is on the verge of death, she plunges a needle into a doctor to escape the asylum she's been locked away in and her ship is caught in a storm which nearly kills all of her crew.
25. Bee Movie (2007)
Director: Simon J. Smith & Steve Hickner
Rating: PG
Produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Paramount Pictures, Bee Movie stars Renée Zellweger and Jerry Seinfeld, with Seinfeld also co-writing the movie. Making just under 300 million dollars at the box office, Bee Movie performed averagely at the cinemas but was nominated for a Golden Globe.
Plot: Having recently graduated from college, a bee called Barry B. Benson eventually becomes disillusioned by his career choice of becoming a honey maker. While on a trip beyond the hive, Barry's life is changed forever when he realizes that humans eat honey, and so he consequently decides to sue them.
Why it's great for kids:
- Its simple storyline means that it's easy to follow for children of all ages.
- There's a strong environmentally friendly message, with the bees discovering how important it is for them to maintain their surroundings. Barry also learns how it's important to work as a team to achieve great things and kids also learn the importance of sticking up for others when they need help.
Things to be cautious of:
- There's a lot of product placement from the likes of the New York Post, Timberland and Variety.
- We see bees in a honey farm getting gassed with smoke by the bee keepers and Barry also has quite a scary flight across Manhattan in which he's nearly killed several times.
24. The Parent Trap (1961)
Director: David Swift
Rating: G
Nominated for two Academy Awards, spawning three Television sequels and a movie remake in 1998 starring Lindsay Lohan, The Parent Trap is a classic that has stood the test of time.
Plot: Identical twins, Susan and Sharon, who were separated at birth by their parents, each growing up with either their mother or their father, discover each other at summer camp and hatch a plan to get their parents back together again. Swapping lives to experience what their other parent is like, the twins soon come up against some obstacles, such as their father's imminent marriage to a money-hungry fiancée.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- Its lessons have stood the test of time, valuing the importance of team work, communication and family.
- It also encourages viewers to see that even though two people may on the surface appear to be completely different, and come from completely different worlds, that there are common similarities shared between them if a little bit of time is spent searching for them.
Things to be cautious of:
- Even though they mean well, the twins' plan to bring their parents back together involves having to deceive them as well as pulling a series of pranks on their father's gold digging fiancée.
- There is a bit of mild slapping to be wary of: a woman slaps a young girl and two girls slap each other in a fight at the summer camp.
23. The Angry Birds Movie (2016)
Director: Clay Kaytis & Fergal Reilly
Rating: PG
Based on the computer game of the same name, Angry Birds is an American-Finnish computer animated movie which was animated by Sony Pictures Imageworks. Starring Danny McBride, Maya Rudolph, Kate McKinnon, Sean Penn and Peter Dinklage it made 350 million dollars at the box office.
Plot: The movie revolves around trying to discover exactly what it is that's making the birds so angry. The film's set on an island populated by happy but flightless birds who are paid a visit by some mysterious green pigs. Ultimately it becomes the task of three unlikely heroes — Red, Bomb and Chuck to discover exactly what these pigs are up to.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- The underlying moral of The Angry Birds Movie is not to judge people before you know them, and that everyone has something positive to offer society.
- However, the goal of the movie is more to entertain then the be of educational value, and it does this well — children and adults alike will enjoy this movie!
Things to be cautious of:
- Sometimes the language can be quite crude using terms like "idiot," "butt" and "pluck my life."
- Parents might also want to be aware that the movie is tied in to a franchise and there are some allusions to the purchasable Angry Birds merchandise within the movie.
- There are a few allusions to sex such as when an eagle looks at another bird taking a bath through a telescope and when a pig attaches two plungers to its tummy and insinuates they are breasts.
22. Honey I Shrunk The Kids (1989)
Director: Joe Johnston
Rating: PG
Joe Johnston's (Jumanji, Captain America: The First Avenger) directorial debut, Honey I Shrunk The Kids stars Rick Moranis and Marcia Strassman and became an unexpected box office success bringing in 222 million dollars and becoming up until that point, Disney's highest grossing live-action movie.
Plot: After slaving away trying to perfect a ray gun for shrinking objects, eccentric scientist Wayne Szalinski leaves his shrinking machine unattended and his two teenagers and the neighboring kids tinker with it and accidentally shrink themselves. Their mission is then to get Wayne to realize they haven't disappeared, but are actually just the size of insects.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- It's a classic which is fun for all the family, parents can relate to the adults in the movie and the vintage special effects still hold their own in a nostalgically endearing way.
- The film shows that very different types of people are able to get on, Wayne's children and the neighboring kids being forced to get on despite of their clear differences.
Things to be cautious of:
- There are a few scenes which show the shrunken children in peril including when they have to run from a scorpion, when they ride a honey bee and when they nearly drown in a mud puddle. But they managed to evade danger each time.
- There is also a scene in which two teenagers make out, which some adults may not wish their children to see.
21. D2: The Mighty Ducks (1994)
Director: Sam Weisman
Rating: PG
The second installment in the Might Ducks trilogy, D2:The Mighty Ducks was produced by Disney and stars Emilio Estevez, Michael Tucker and Kathryn Erbe. It performed pretty well at the box office, bringing in 45 million on a budget of 10 million dollars.
Plot: D2: The Mighty Ducks sees former peewee ice hockey coach Gordon Bombay (Emilio Estevez) having to withdraw from the league due to a knee injury. However, he is then given the task of coaching the USA Hockey Team for the Junior Goodwill Games which features many of the old Ducks!
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- The moral message at the centre of the film is that friendship, teamwork and following the rules is what helps the Ducks win over their opponents who "play dirty."
- Coach Gordon leads a great example to the kids, although he gets briefly swept up in focusing on the competition rather than what's best for his team, he eventually embodies the belief that it's not the winning that matters, it's the taking part.
Things to be cautious of:
- As mentioned above, the Coach does briefly prioritize the competition over his team, but he soon learns the error of his ways.
- There are some scenes of mild violence when the two teams go head to head on the ice rink, leaving some players rolling on the ground in pain.
20. Paddington (2014)
Director: Paul King
Rating: PG
Based on the fictional character Paddington Bear as created by Michael Bond in the late '50s, the movie features Julie Waters, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Bonneville and Nicole Kidman. After the first installment did well at the box office, the sequel (Paddington 2) is due for release next year.
Plot: Upon traveling to London in search of a new home in the wake of an earthquake in his Peruvian homeland, Paddington finds himself lost and alone. However, at Paddington Station he finds the Brown family who offer their home to him for temporary shelter.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- It's highly topical and could be a good means of explaining to young children what it means to be a refugee.
- It emphasizes the importance of family, and the fact that family doesn't necessarily need to be blood related.
- Paddington is an excellent role model as he places a great deal of importance on always making sure to be polite to those he knows as well as to strangers.
Things to be cautious of:
- Paddington has to flee an earthquake, some of which is shown, in his hometown which ultimately kills his uncle. This may be distressing to some children but takes place at the beginning of the movie so it's over early on.
- Millicent (Kidman) a slightly sadistic museum taxidermist becomes Paddington's antagonist in the movie, at one point she kidnaps him, but naturally, no lasting harm comes to him.
19. The Jungle Book (2016)
Director: Jon Favreau
Rating: 9+
Combining elements of Rudyard Kipling's original novel with the animated Disney movie of the same name, The Jungle Book stars Bill Murray, Ben Kingsley, Idris Elba, Lupita Nyong'o, Scarlett Johansson and Christopher Walken. Making just under a billion dollars at the box office, it was tremendously successful.
Plot: Alongside a panther called Bagheera and a lovable bear called Baloo, a "man-cub" known as Mowgli begins a journey of self discovery while trying to avoid the many threats that lurk deep within the jungle.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- There's a huge focus on the importance of friends and teamwork, as well as championing non-traditional families as wolves Akela and Raksha view Mowgli as their child.
- It shows that those who are driven by a cruel and malicious agenda such as Shere Khan, Mowgli's nemesis, are often incredibly unpopular and ultimately receive their comeuppance.
- Visually the movie is stunning, meaning that children and adults alike will be completely transfixed and transported into the jungle with Mowgli and his friends.
Things to be cautious of:
- There is quite a lot of violence and characters die, sometimes quite suddenly and shockingly. Mowgli is frequently being chased and is often in what appears to be grave danger. This may be disturbing for more sensitive children.
- The jungle animals battle quite aggressively, involving lots of snarling, teeth and occasional scenes of blood.
- When Mowgli eventually says goodbye to his wolf family, it is quite upsetting and may be perceived as distressing, even though he is doing so to be with fellow humans instead.
18. Jetsons: The Movie (1990)
Director: William Hanna and Joseph Barbera
Rating: G
Based on the original cartoon which first aired in 1962 as the space-age counter part to The Flintstones, The Jetsons have been a recognizable cornerstone of the Hanna-Barbera cartoon powerhouse for well over fifty years.
Plot: Following a sudden promotion, George Jetson has to relocate his family to a distant planet as he takes over a new factory for his boss, Mr. Spacely.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- As The Jetson's is such a recognizable cartoon, it is fun for all the family from parents and even grandparents who remember watching them a good few decades ago. Although the characters will probably be unfamiliar to most children, watching them today on Netflix will still be fun.
- With little to no violence, foul language or allusions to drugs or sex, Jetsons:The Movie is incredibly tame.
Things to be cautious of:
- The family operates as a traditional '60s family, the father is the breadwinner, the mother stays at home as a housewife, their son is interested in football and their daughter likes listening to pop music. If exposing your children to non-traditional family structures is something that appeals to you, it may be important to bear this in mind.
17. Kung Fu Panda 3 (2016)
Director: Jennifer Yuh Nelson and Alessandro Carloni
Rating: PG
Produced by DreamWorks and distributed by 20th Century Fox, Kung Fu Panda 3 made a whopping five hundred and nineteen million dollars world wide and features an all star cast including Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Dustin Hoffman, Lucy Liu, Seth Rogan, Kate Hudson and Jackie Chan.
Plot: Continuing with his "legendary adventures of awesomeness," Po the panda and his friends "the furious five" have to battle Kai, a supernatural bull that has been menacing the whole of China.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- Just like the two films before it, Kung Fu Panda 3 is masterfully crafted and visually delightful meaning that children will be fully engrossed for its ninety five minute running time.
- The film contains some good moral messages such as using what you're talented in to good use and overcoming obstacles through friendship.
- Any child who has anything other than a typical nuclear family set up will appreciate the message that family doesn't always mean you have to be blood related as Po, for example, has two fathers (one biological, one not).
Things to be cautious of:
- The film does contain a lot of martial arts style violence, although nothing is ever shown as being particularly gruesome.
- There are also flashback scenes depicting a child/parent separation which some may find distressing.
- The villain, Kai the bull, may scare some children, but he is ultimately defeated.
16. Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search For Christopher Robin (1997)
Director: Karl Geurs
Rating: G
While loosely based on A. A. Milne's original characters, Pooh's Grand Adventure: The Search For Christopher Robin is an entirely original story. Starring Jim Cummings and John Fiedler, this movie is great for kids already familiar with the books.
Plot: Pooh and Christopher Robin are best friends and spend all their time together. However, when it comes time for Christopher to go to school, he can't bring himself to tell Pooh and instead leaves a note. Upon reading the note, Pooh believes that Christopher Robin is in trouble in a dangerous place called 'skull' and sets out to find him.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- The films main theme is that of the importance of friendship, an excellent message for children of all ages.
- The film will be enjoyable for the whole family given that Winnie the Pooh spans several generations since it's first publication in 1926.
- It also might be particularly useful for younger siblings of children who are nearing school age, learning that when they eventually have to leave for school that they are not in danger, and they will always return.
Things to be cautious of:
- There are a few scary scenes, including one of a huge shadow which seems to be malicious — but does eventually turn out to be Christopher Robin.
- Children may also be distressed when Pooh and Christopher become separated.
15. Fairy Tale: A True Story (1997)
Director: Charles Sturridge
Rating: PG
Loosely based on the true story of the Cottingley Fairies, Fairy Tale: A True Story stars Peter O'Toole, Harvey Keitel, Bill Nighy and Paul McGann and grossed fourteen million dollars at the US box office.
Plot: Set in 1917, two young cousins encounter what they believe to be fairies at a brook close to one of their houses. Taking one of their fathers cameras, they take a photo which becomes arguably the first photographic evidence to support the existence of fairies.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- Children will be captivated by the idea that peers their own age could have captured such a potentially important piece of history.
- They will also be enchanted by the benevolent fairies who are mesmerizing to watch.
- The cast are brilliant and really make the film feel as real as the original story.
Things to be cautious of:
- The film is set with the backdrop of WWI. Near the beginning of the film we see a train station filled with wounded soldiers.
- One of the girl's father's is missing in the war and even though he does eventually return, this could be distressing for some viewers.
- The girls at times have to deceive people, however it is never done out of malice.
14. Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief (2008)
Director: Craig Shapiro
Rating: PG
The fourth film in the Dr. Dolittle franchise, Dr. Dolittle: Tail to the Chief doesn't star Eddie Murphy who was in the first two movies, but does feature Kyla Pratt who played his daughter in both the first and second movies as well as the following third and fourth installments.
Plot: Maya Dolittle (Pratt) like her father, is able to talk to animals. Whilst her father is away the President of the United States calls him to ask if he can help the Presidential dog, and also save an African forest. In his absence, Maya takes her fathers place in a bid to help the President.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- It really promotes the idea that animals are, like humans, emotional creatures, and should be respected as such in every day life.
- It shows kids that adversity may always be overcome, not matter how great the obstacle.
- Being able to hear the animals talk is hilarious, and something children will immediately warm too, especially if they have pets of their own.
Things to be cautious of:
- Sometimes the animals participate in crude humour.
13. Zootopia (2016)
Director: Byron Howard, Rich Moore, Jared Bush
Rating: PG
Disney's 55th animated feature film, Zootopia stars the voices of Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Bateman, Idris Elba and Jenny Slate and received overwhelmingly positive critical reviews, grossing over one billion dollars worldwide.
Plot: In a world of anthropomorphized animals, bunny rabbit Judy Hopps becomes the first rabbit police officer in Zootopia and ends up uncovering a conspiracy which, with the help of a con-artist fox, she must solve.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- It grapples with hugely important issues of prejudice and stereotyping and makes the instantly relatable to children of all ages.
- From an educational perspective, children will learn the difference between predator and prey animals.
- It's fast-paced, well structured, beautifully crafted and thoroughly enjoyable meaning that kids will be entertained throughout.
Things to be cautious of:
- The 'predators' pose a particular threat to the benign protagonists, including several references to 'mob' behavior and allusions to violence, although this is never depicted on screen.
- In order to get its moral message across, it includes scenes of bullying and prejudice toward some of the smaller animals which may upset younger viewers.
12. Cats & Dogs (2001)
Director: Lawrence Guterman
Rating: PG
Starring Jeff Goldblum, Elizabeth Perkins and Alexander Pollock, Cats & Dogs focuses on the age old rivalry between cats and dogs, and made a huge two hundred million dollars at the box office.
Plot: Unbeknown to their human owners, a complex war of secret espionage is taking place between all cats and dogs across the world.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- It's immediately applicable to their everyday life, being able to relate the film to their own experiences of domestic cats and dogs.
- Whilst not being a particularly profound film, it is fun and sure to keep kids laughing for the full ninety minute duration.
Things to be cautious of:
- Expect a fair deal of potty humor and a mild amount of violence — although no one is depicted as getting badly hurt.
- A dog is shown to be on life support which may be distressing for some children.
11. Hoot (2006)
Director: Wil Shriner
Rating: PG
Based on Carl Hiaasen's novel of the same name, Hoot stars Luke Wilson, Logan Lerman, Brie Larson, Tim Blake Nelson and Neil Flynn and was filmed mostly in Florida.
Plot: When Roy A. Eberhardt (Logan Lerman) moves to Florida with his family he discovers a colony of owls who are under threat from a local construction site. Banding up with his classmates, Roy tries to save the owls from their imminent fate.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- It teaches children the fragility of nature and how it's important to stand up for what we believe in.
- With it's ninety minute runtime it's the perfect length to keep kids engaged before getting bored.
Things to be cautious of:
- The children engage in mild illegal and anti-establishment behavior in order to protect the owls.
- A bully repeatedly picks on the main character, at one point pushing his face into a window.
10. The Little Prince (2015)
Director: Mark Osborne
Rating: PG
Based on the beloved children's book written by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, this gorgeous stop-motion animation film weaves a stunning coming of age tale around an all star cast of Jeff Bridges, Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard and Benicio Del Toro.
Plot: A young girl who lives with her mother is trying to make sense of the world around her when her neighbor, the Aviator, steps in and introduces her to an incredible new world, the world of the Little Prince, where it seems anything is possible.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- The film encourages children to see the wonder in the world around them, and to respect and care for one and other.
- If they're a fan of the book it is a great opportunity form them to see it depicted in a sensitive and tender way on the 'big screen.'
- It is visually stunning, meaning that if little one's struggle to follow speech, they'll still be entertained.
Things to be cautious of:
- It is at times a little confusing, often indulging in elaborate metaphors to get its message across, this may befuddle some of the younger viewers, especially in the last third of the film which seems almost more aimed at adults than children.
- Themes of death and loss are discussed frequently, although subtly.
- There is some violence, a child suffering minor scrapes with a little blood, snakes are shown to devour an animal and a man shoots at one of the poisonous snakes.

8. Goosebumps (2015)
Director: Rob Letterman
Rating: PG
Based on the R.L.Stine book franchise of the same name, Goosebumps stars comedy favorite, Jack Black and was nominated for the Best Family Film by the Las Vegas Film Critics Society.
Plot: A young teen joins forces with the daughter of young adult horror author — Goosebumps creator, R.L.Stine — after his imaginary demons are released upon the town of Madison.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- It's flashy, fun and guaranteed to keep them entertained for the entire one hundred minute run-time.
- While it does deal with sightly more scary elements, it always does so in a light-hearted way, and with Jack Black at the helm, it never feels as though the bad guys are ever truly going to win.
Things to be cautious of:
- The film includes lots of different kinds of ghouls and monsters which could scare slightly more sensitive children.
- It does include a small amount of kissing.
7. Pee-Wee's Big Holiday (2016),
Director: John Lee
Rating: PG
Resurrecting the lovable Pee-Wee Herman best known from his '80s television and film series, Paul Reubens is back and proves that Herman's appeal is still as approachable now as he was thirty years ago.
Plot: After meeting a mysterious stranger, Pee-Wee Herman decides its finally time for him to go on his first ever holiday in what becomes a grand tale of friendship and fate.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- Pee-Wee, like Mr Bean, indulges in the kind of man-child slapstick comedy which never fails to get children laughing in hysterics.
- There are less innuendos then in the earlier Pee-Wee franchise, and all the mild references to violence (a bank robbery, an altercation with a snake and a kidnapping) are enacted in such a comical way that it makes it more difficult for the scenes to be interpreted as scary.
Things to be cautious of:
- As stated above, there are some themes which could be interpreted as a little adult, and while enacted in a comical way, some children may find them a bit confusing.
6. Meet the Small Potatoes (2013)
Director: Josh Selig

5. The Sound of Music (1965)
Director: Robert Wise
Rating: G
Possibly one of the most famous musicals of all time and featuring the legendary Julie Andrews, this tale of motherhood, coming of age and family values set to the stunning back drop of the Austrian mountains truly is a cross-generational treat.
Plot: Leaving an Austrian convent, the young, optimistic Maria (Julie Andrews) ends up becoming a governess to the seven children of a Naval officer widower, and slowly but surely wins her way into all of their hearts.
Why it's brilliant for kids:
- Combining a wonderful plot and clear, positive moral messages, kids have found themselves — decade after decade — becoming transfixed with this engaging movie and taking a lot away from it.

Things to be cautious of:
- There are brief, subtle hints to Nazism which may make some children feel uneasy.
- A gun is brandished in the final section of the film, but no one is hurt.
- At nearly three hours long, it might be pushing the limits of youthful attention spans.

- With all three of the main characters being voiced by stand-up comics, it's very funny, and fast moving, making sure that kids are bound to keep their eyes glued to the screen.

- The viewers are presented with a world laden with natural disasters (avalanches, volcanoes, rising sea levels etc) which can make the world seem a very threatening place.
3. Tooth Fairy (2010)
Director: Michael Lembeck
Rating: PG
A fantasy, comedy family film starring Dwayne Johnson (The Rock), Ashley Judd and Julie Andrews, Tooth Fairy went on to have a positive box office success and spawned a sequel, Tooth Fairy 2, although unfortunately, this went straight to DVD release.

Why it's brilliant for kids:
- It shows that every action has a consequence in a funny and relatable manner.
- It's funny - having The Rock's uber-masculine persona thrown into jeopardy by taking on the role of the tooth fairy is comedic to every age group.
- Whilst it's not particularly serious, it's a great fun watch for all of the family.

There is some mild bad language and violence, predominantly taking place in the context of a hockey game with one player ending up losing a tooth.

- Be aware that it is part of a series, and that in order to make the most of this film, it is advisable to watch the previous two installments.
- There is a fair amount of sword fighting, but no serious injuries are shown.
1. Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb (2014)
Director: Shawn Levy

- There is a moment where it seems as though the entire gang may have perished, this proves not to be the case, but may be upsetting during that particular scene.

Angela Mallon writes:
At present the Diabetes Online Community (DOC) is one of the world's most vibrant and influential online communities for people living with a life-long health condition. In the USA, hundreds of diabetes bloggers provide information, support and advocate for improved healthcare solutions for those living with this condition.
Four months ago, Australia was one of the first countries outside the USA to develop its own Diabetes Online Community OzDOC.
OzDOC has a rapidly growing membership of people throughout Australia and the world joining in its own weekly 'tweetchat' on Tuesday evenings at 8.30 pm (AEDT).
Following the establishment of #OzDOC, other chats have started, including GBDOC (UK),CanDOC (Canada), #ESDOC (Spain), ITADOC (Italy) and (DEDOC (Germany).
Keynote speaker at the Australian social media summit was Kerri Sparling from the USA. Kerry is one of the first bloggers to enter the 'diabetes blogosphere' with her Six Until Me blog which started in 2005. Kerri is a regular speaker at social media and diabetes conferences and is a freelance writer and social media consultant.
In her presentation, Kerri talked about how after her diagnosis as a six year old, she found a support network when she attended camps for children with diabetes.
As an adult, however, she felt isolated and missed the opportunity to connect with people who were experiencing similar hopes, problems and fears that she had while living with diabetes.
She turned to blogging to share her story and hopefully hear from others:
"The first week, my mum and my husband were reading. But the next week there were more readers and more readers after that. Sharing stories, offering insight and providing support is what bloggers and their readers get – it's a mutually beneficial activity!"
Kerri highlighted the importance of supporting others within the community, "each and every voice is important, but together it's certainly more powerful," she says.
Other important topics covered at the Summit included the importance of collaboration with healthcare professionals, industry policy makers and healthcare professionals. Diabetes is a self-managed condition and the person living with diabetes needs to be acknowledged as the expert.

2014 Annual IHS Podiatry Meeting November 22, 2014
. "We do these things not because they are easy, but because they are hard." John F. Kennedy Rice University Sept. 12, 1962
"Coming Together is a Beginning, Keeping Together is Progress, Working Together is Success" Henry Ford
Jeffrey M. Robbins, DPM Director, Podiatry Service VACO November 22, 2014
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to: A. Describe the importance of the Prevention of Amputation in Veterans Everywhere Program B. List the components of calculating foot risk score C. Discuss the morbidity and mortality associated with first onset diabetic ulceration
Jeffrey M. Robbins, DPM has no financial interest or relationships to disclose.
Emphasized importance of highest quality amputee care Identified veterans with amputation as a special disability group Chartered the Advisory Committee on Prosthetics and Special Disabilities Programs
1. PURPOSE: This Veterans Health Administration (VHA) Directive defines the scope of the care and treatment provided to veteran patients at risk of primary or secondary limb loss. This is accomplish through the Prevention of Amputation in Veterans Everywhere (PAVE) Program
Developed to meet the changing needs of veterans ◦ more neuropathy, PVD and diabetes ◦ fewer traumatic amputations ◦ New issues in 2006 with returning OEF/OIF Vets Established a model of care to prevent or delay amputations Proactive early identification of "at risk" populations ◦ Especially veterans with diabetes Track from date of entry to discharge back to the community
3. POLICY: It is VHA policy that the PAVE program be established at all VA medical centers. The program will at a minimum provide for
1. Screening of at-risk populations 2. Identification of high risk patients 3. Timely and appropriately referral
4. Each patient who has suffered an amputation should be offered a visit by their mental health consultation team, to assess coping and provide support as needed either in an individual or group format. (This approach avoids stigmatizing anyone as being singled out as having mental or emotional issues and also minimizes the potential for missing someone who is 'suffering in silence")
5. Development of a system to identify and track patients with amputation or those at risk for amputation. ◦ NOTE: (The VACO Patient Care Services PAVE ProClarity Cubes are an acceptable resource from which to develop such a system)
6. A PAVE coordinator to provide for ◦ (a) organizational support for the PAVE team, ◦ (b) communication conduit between administration and PAVE/Amputee clinic team providers, ◦ (c) a smooth transition of the DOD patient into the VA system
7. A PAVE Committee should be established to coordinate efforts to address the primary amputation prevention needs of "at risk" patients, and the secondary amputation prevention needs for those patients who have already suffered an amputation. This includes patients who had their amputations outside the VA system of care (e.g. OEF/OIF, private hospital, etc). This may be accomplished by the PAVE coordinators incorporating their efforts in existing primary amputation prevention committees within the medical centers.
The field based PAVE Oversight Committee made up of clinical leaders from endocrinology/diabetes, podiatry, PM&R, Prosthetics, nursing the VISN's, OQP responsible for recommendations for data collection and analyses to permit program evaluation of the screening, surveillance, salvage, and rehabilitative components of the PAVE program, including the following
1. Identification of veterans at risk for or who have sustained an amputation Age adjusted and stratified rates of major (AKA and BKA) and minor amputations, and lower extremity non-venous ulcers Patient knowledge and performance of recommended self foot care practices, and satisfaction with foot care. VISN and Facility adherence to the PAVE Directive with respect to formal policies and coordination strategies
The PAVE committee will use these analyses to identify best practices from the field, and to make recommendations to achieve excellence in patient centered care to the PAVE Oversight Committee for program improvements Recommendations RE: self foot care behaviors
Let patients know that these self care behaviors are important to their provider Allows the provider to reinforce the behavior in a quick and efficient manner.
Are you or your caregiver having an problems inspecting your feet every day? ◦ Can't see or can't reach ◦ Can we offer you a mirror, etc. Are you or a caregiver having an problems washing your feet? ◦ Can't see or can't reach ◦ Can we offer you a sponge on a stick, etc. Do you walk barefoot?
A. The Network Director is responsible for: B. Medical Center Director C. Chief of Staff D. PAVE Coordinator
Directive provides recommendations for; ◦ Foot Checks ◦ Foot Examinations ◦ Risk Score assignments ◦ Referral strategy ◦ Provides guidelines not mandates!
1. FOOT Screening This involves: a. Visual inspection of the skin surface for any lesions, deformities, color or temperature changes or ulcers; b. Screening for circulation, i.e., the palpation of pedal pulses in the foot; and c. Sensory testing using a Semmes-Weinstein 5.07 monofilament to check for loss of protective sensation.
2. FOOT Examination This involves a more in-depth evaluation of the foot's circulation and sensation as well as foot deformities. During this examination, patients are evaluated by a "foot care specialist," e.g., Prevention of Amputation in Veterans Everywhere (PAVE) program member, vascular surgeon, podiatrist, or other health care professional demonstrating appropriate education, training, competencies and licensure necessary to provide such care
RISK ASSESSMENT LEVEL "At-risk" is defined as patients with diabetes, peripheral vascular disease and/or end stage renal disease, who are considered highly susceptible to develop foot ulcers. "High Risk" is defined as any patient who has had an amputation for any reason, and patients with a foot risk score of 2 or 3.
a. Level 0, Normal Risk. These patients have no evidence of sensory loss, diminished circulation,, ulceration, or history of ulceration or amputation. Patients with diabetes should receive foot care education and annual foot screening. These patients do not require therapeutic footwear. b. Level 1, Low Risk. These individuals demonstrate one or both of the following Foot deformity or minor foot infection (and a diagnosis of diabetes). Patient education, preventative care and annual foot screening are required. The patients in this category and the following two categories (Level 2 and Level 3) should not walk barefoot. Special attention is to be directed to shoe style and fit. These individuals do not need therapeutic footwear.
c. Level 2, Moderate Risk. These individuals demonstrate sensory loss (inability to perceive the Semmes-Weinstein 5.07 monofilament) and may have one additional finding below. Diminished circulation as evidenced by absent or weakly palpable pulses, (this would require follow-up examination to determine level of vascular disease before a final risk score can be determined) Foot deformity or minor foot infection (and a diagnosis of diabetes).
These individuals require: ◦ therapeutic footwear and orthoses to accommodate foot deformities, to compensate for soft tissue atrophy, and to evenly distribute plantar foot pressures. ◦ Patient education, regular preventive foot examination and care in podiatry or other foot care specialty clinic. Patient health education (PHE) must include the implications of sensory loss and the importance of daily foot inspections. NOTE: May require Diabetic Socks and Depth Inlay Shoes based on clinical judgment.

Punisher (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
this wiki
|How much longer before innocent people start getting caught in his cross-fire?
|~ Matt Murdock regarding Castle's penchant for violence
|You hit them they get back up, I hit them, they stay down!!
|~ Frank to Daredevil
The Punisher, also known as Frank Castle, was a New York City-based vigilante whose wife, daughter, and son were murdered in a drug sting gone wrong. In contrast to Daredevil, the Devil of Hell's Kitchen, the Punisher leaves none of his targets alive. He appears in the Netflix-exclusive TV series Daredevil as the tertiary antagonist/anti-villain in Season 2.
With his military background and training, the Punisher is precise, tactical, and hard to capture or contain. Only in cases of extreme torture or having no other options will he get captured or imprisoned.
His use of murder and extreme violence caught the attention of the other vigilante of Hell's Kitchen, Daredevil and the two engaged in a war between their ideologies to achieve justice and peace. After being tortured by the Kitchen Irish and subsequently imprisoned due to his crimes, Castle underwent a trial but purposefully botched it to go to prison and gain information on his family's death.
After successfully eradicating the Mexican Cartel, the Kitchen Irish and the Dogs of Hell, the three gangs that partook in the murdering of his family and killing the man behind the shootout, the Blacksmith, Castle burnt down his family house, painted a skull on his chest and accepting himself as the Punisher before leaving to locate the mysterious figure Micro and perhaps, end crime forever.
He is portrayed by Jon Bernthal.
Frank Castle is a cynical, brutal man with a black-and-white attitude for the world and a lack of distinction, or even care for right and wrong, good and evil and even morals. He does not expect criminals to change and believes the only way people can be safe is for them to be put down, less they come back and cause more harm. He mocks Daredevil for leaving criminals alive and his beliefs of hope.
When his family were killed in a gang war it transformed Castle into a brutal and determined vigilante with the mind of an almost sociopath. In dealing with criminals, he is efficient but with little remorse or ethical boundaries to cross. Due to his military background he is highly desensitized to the violence he inflicts others and is able to kill with tactical precision which results in him finishing the job with as minimum or maximum casualties as he wishes. Because of his violent fashions and nature, many people believe he possesses sadistic attraction to his profession. This might be true, however Castle appears more driven out of love for his family and rage over their deaths. If he believes there is a small chance a mugger would become like the criminals who took his children from him he will take it seriously and eradicate them without a second hesitation. He obviously loves his family, even years after their deaths, viewing his crusade as the Punisher as a way to make up for his inability to save them. He avenges their deaths by destroying the three gangs who partook in killing them and repeats his daughter's favorite book before pulling a trigger to honor her.
Despite his ruthless nature, Castle does genuinely care for the lives of the innocent and is careful towards civilian casualties. He lives by the same code he learn while in the military; "One Shot, One Kill", getting the job done with as little casualties as possible. He has a strong dislike towards unnecessary violence, knowing a soldier finishes the enemy quickly despite how much he may or may not deserve it. Though he will use violence as means to his end and torture to gain information, and on one occasion hanged the Mexican Cartel on meat hooks to die, whilst pondering how to torture the Blacksmith, the man who inadvertently caused his family's death, in a shed he remembers the motto Schoonover taught him in the idea and kills him with a swift shot to the head.
Frank dislikes being thought of as insane or not in control of his own actions, knocking Daredevil out when he says otherwise and screaming during his trial when they state he needs mental help. He also refused to accept a plea for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, claiming he didn't suffer from any of the sort and it was insult to soldiers who did. It's unknown if this is true as the trauma of war and guilt of his family's deaths could be a contributing cause of his mental state.

Back In October of 1998 I developed PF and spent the next 6 months in agony. I did not (could not run) so kept up my swimming and started biking when the weather got better. Got some new orthotics, did a lot of stretching, wore magnetic insoles, and iced quite a bit. Well, it seems that with all this TLC my PF has improved to the point where I can run 10 K's at the end of my triathlon's with no pain and train in running at least three times a week. I thought I would just share this since I remember reading on this site the fact that only those of use whose PF never went away seemed to post and how depressing that was.
So a success story which I attribute to:

Biocrates and Chenomx to Co-Market MS and NMR-Based Metabolomics Technologies
Biocrates Life Sciences and Chenomx entered a co-marketing agreement through which they will offer and promote each other's complementary metabolomics services. The firms will also work together to evaluate and optimize Biocrates' metabolomics kits on Chenomx' instrumentation and software.
Biocrates and Chenomx are both focused on the identification and quantification of endogenous metabolites in body fluid or tissue samples for use as biomarkers or in biomarker panels. Biocrates' technology is based on mass spectrometry (MS), while Chenomx' utilises NMR spectroscopy.
With MS offering high sensitivity and NMR providing broad metabolite coverage, "the two methods produce complementary data sets with very little overlap in results," comments Neil Taylor, Chenomx CEO. "Both tests can be run on the same samples thus offering a more comprehensive profile."
Biocrates reports that its mass spec-based approach has advantages over metabolic profiling, like the ability to quantify metabolites and the suitability of the method to high-throughput applications. Biocrates' platform is being commercialized for the identification and validation of biomarker panels that help identify disease risk, diagnose diseases, assess disease severity, and guide treatment. A pipeline of metabolomic biomarkers is in development for diagnostic applications in diabetes, kidney disease, sepsis, stroke, and cancer.
The firm is, in parallel, working with partners to develop biomarker panels that can help evaluate drug activity and identify patients most likely to respond to a treatment or those who at an increased risk of suffering drug-related side effects.
Biocrates has also developed the AbsoluteIDQ p150 Kit for research applications. This mass spectrometry-based metabolomics kit is designed to identify and quantify over 160 metabolites from four compound classes: amino acids, acyl carnitines, glycerophospholipids and sphingolipids, as well as hexose. The firm says the kit allows metabolites from plasma samples to be measured in just a few minutes per sample and can use sample volumes as low as 10 µL.
Chenomx offers licensing and contract services based on its Chenomx NMR Suite technology for generating, classifying, and interpreting metabolic information obtained from complex biological fluids. The flagship NMR-based platform has been designed to allow researchers to correlate metabolic responses with pathology, toxicity, drug efficacy, and genetics. The latest version, Chenomx NMR Suite 6.1, was launched in February 2010.

The aim is to provide a relevant, reliable and dailly newsletter about the international development of energy-efficient vehicles with a special focus on electric vehicles. The target groups are the Swedish authorities, universities and industry and other interested actors. The reason is that most of the research and development going on abroad, it is important to scan what is happening on the international scene. News needs to be found, filtered, sorted, analyzed and disseminated to Swedish actors. It is time consuming to compile and analyze news. A reliable intelligence creates time savings for Swedish actors. An independent editorial staff are responsible for the newsletter to be credible, interpretive and relevant. 150 newsletters are written per year.
