 What Kind of Parent Are You Based on Your Zodiac Sign?
Each parent is different with their approach when it comes to taking care of their children. Some are more anxious while others are very lax; certain parents feel that the need for a strict home environment is necessary for the long-term growth of their kids while some are adverse to any kind of structure. There are factors that may trigger the kind of upbringing the parent follows. These include outside influences, demographics, and traditions that play a major role on a parent’s approach to childcare. And there might be some other factors that influence a person’s parenting style.
Before technology and during the early ages of civilization, there were plenty of worldly phenomena that were deemed inexplicable. The existence of things like storms, plagues, and seasonal changes was explained through astrology.
Through astrology, the Babylonians who are the earliest known users of the craft were able to predict seasons and celestial events. In time, reading astrological charts was passed down to the Greeks and soon everywhere else.
Today, despite the rise of technology and the advancement of science, many still find relevance for astrology and rely on their zodiac fortunes to foretell a possible future, match personalities and even improve relationships between their partners, friends, and children.
According to the American Federation of Astrologers, the 12 zodiac signs are based on constellations that early astrologers linked to the progression of seasons which they learned then is based on the 12 lunar cycles before the sun returns to its original position. The lunar calendar that we use today and the 12 months in a year are all based on that understanding.
A person’s horoscope depends on the date and month of birth and wherein the zodiacal map (horoscope) it is. Each zodiac sign possesses a certain personality trait and fortune influenced by its ruling planet and the predominant planet during a particular period.
What’s your zodiac sign based on your birthday?
New information about the zodiacs shook the world of astrology in the latter part of 2016. During those controversial months, zodiac believers everywhere were taken aback to put it mildly. What’s the news? That there was a 13th zodiac sign. What does that have to do with the twelve? Well, since each of the twelve revolves around dates and months of the year, having a new one means that if originally you were a Pisces, then maybe now you’re no longer one.
It started with a rumor that ran around the cyberspace that NASA added another zodiac sign called Ophiuchus which points to the sun from November 30 to December 18. Putting it in astrological terms in the horoscope, that would mean that the old zodiac sign dates will be moved one way or another.
Fortunately for many, the confusion was swiftly cleared out by NASA saying that they did not add a 13th zodiac sign in the horoscope but also went on to say that the constellation Ophiuchus does indeed exist in the zodiacs. The space organization then adds an analogy of the existence of the 13th constellation to a pizza.
Long story short, the old zodiac dates is still what’s followed in the horoscope. If you’ve been a Libra all your life, you’ll remain a Libra… until further notice. So, let’s use the old dates to determine the type of parent you are.
Unlike other zodiac signs, Aries is not a natural when it comes to parenting primarily because of their childlike characteristic and short temper. If you’re an Aries, you might have experience becoming easily annoyed when your child is too unruly or messy and when they don’t want to listen to you. On the upside, if an Aries embraces their becoming a parent, they can truly nurture their children in becoming more advanced in development because of their natural leadership capacity.
If you’re an Aries, you can focus on ways to manage your own emotions when things get stressful at home. A pro parenting tip is to get your kid’s energies used up so they don’t run around the house trying to wreak havoc. Try to look for ideas for activities active toddlers can join that will help them grow and use up all their energies.
Are you a stage mom or dad? Do you attend to each and every need of your child, big or small? It’s most probably your second nature as a Taurus.
Taurus are grounded individuals and as parents, they tend to be pampering and caring for their children. Unlike Aries, Taurus are natural born parents and they love the responsibility of taking care of their kids. However, there can be a downside with overindulging children and a tendency to spoil kids if not moderated enough, Some Taurus parents can also seem overbearing or controlling because of their desire to make sure everything is all good for their kids.
If you have this problem of giving way too much to your kids, then the best way to go is to set goals and boundaries for yourself as well as encourage independent play with your kids so that they learn to interact with others in a social situation. Taurus parents love indoor playgrounds because they provide a safe and controlled environment without being too controlling.
Gemini parents value learning above all else with their children. The dream is for an over-achieving child with the best of grades and a shining record. But it’s not only numbers that the Gemini mom or dad looks at. It is also how they learn to interact with others and the world around them.
Parents of this zodiac are often quite immersed in the education of their children and encourage extra-curricular and social activities. Like the Taurus, Geminis love indoor playgrounds but also outdoor play areas. Their kids get to interact with others and learn along the way. Because going out can be quite expensive (and being Geminis, there must be a lot of other things your child is enrolled in), there are ways to lessen the cost of going out.
Cancer as people are very caring and nurturing. They love to be around others and are always the ones throwing parties or organizing get-togethers. Cancers value the proximity of loved ones and love to surround themselves with love.
As parents, Cancers are arguably the most natural in all of the zodiacs. They almost always seem to be ready to be parents. Cancer moms and dads are loving, sweet and nurturing. They love to be around their children and want to go out on trips and enjoy meals together with them all the time.
Does this sound like you? Then you also might have noticed that you tend to be overprotective of your child and sometimes smother them with too much attention and affection. Going on trips, instead of staying cuddly at home, is a helpful way to keep the bonding with your kids without making them feel overwhelmed. It will also help them learn more about the world around them and create precious memories.
Do you have two, three kids already and somehow seem to be wanting another? If you’re a Leo it really is not surprising. This zodiac’s personality can be described as quite childlike and playful. They love being with children because the energy kids give, helps keep them feeling youthful and light-hearted.
Leo parents enjoy going out to travel with their kids and family because of the free new places give out. If you’re a Leo parent though, sometimes you forget to be more of an adult especially in financial matters and disciplining your child because adult stuff is a little bit boring to you.
Especially when on a tight budget, Leos can get carried away and overspend on a day out trying to have fun with the family. Fortunately, there are many other ways to enjoy a day with the family that won’t break the bank.
Virgos are great parents most of the time because they know how to balance discipline and fun. Their approach in parenting is benchmarked on balance and they understand the needs of their children.
While the Virgo parent is often seen as the perfect parent, there is a tendency for this zodiac to become a perfectionist and set impossibly high standards for their kids to meet. However, with enough moderation and care, Virgos are naturally good parents.
Libras are another zodiac can easily be great at parenting. They are good at keeping disputes at bay and communicating with the family. Because Libras are considered one of the best zodiacs for keeping and managing relationships, they tend to be the best at creating a harmonious household. Even Libra children are usually the peacekeepers of the home.
Because Libras do not like conflict, they tend to be lacking in disciplining their kids and tend to get stepped on every now and then. Setting boundaries for your kids and learning to muster the will to call your kids out for bad behavior will benefit you in the long term– furthermore, it will help your child grow into a respectable member of society.
Scorpio parents are the best disciplinarians because of their unwavering resolve and determination in life. Generally, either as parents or singles, this zodiac are usually the overachievers on any group because of their strict resolve and need for excellence.
While discipline can be highly beneficial for kids, too much of it can traumatize and overwhelm children and create a desire to rebel. Perfectionism is often something the Scorpion parent struggles with especially when it comes to their kids.
If you’re a Scorpio and feel that this is often your problem too, finding a balance is a key to resolve it. For instance, you want your child to study and study but your kid is tired. What you can do is allot a few minutes to hours to play with them or you can make a reward for their hard work more enticing like going on playgrounds or having a special treat.
As parents, the Sagittarius is easily the opposite of strict Scorpio. These zodiacs like to have fun and are often the life of a gathering. They enjoy parties, playing and are usually best buds with their kids.
However, like every other zodiac, too much of something can be bad. Like the disciplinarian Scorpio, the Sagittarius does get carried away sometimes and can be too lax and concentrate on enjoying and having fun and forget discipline and structure. If you’re having difficulty with creating order in your home and putting in some house rules (as well as keeping them), then you can ask a fellow Scorpio how they structure their parenting and get some tips along the way. Maybe you can also share a few tricks to having some serious fun with your kids.
Another opposite of the wild, fun-loving Sagittarius parent is the Capricorn mom and dad. These zodiacs love structure and embrace a strict and organize, military-like lifestyle. While this will truly create more disciplined and achieving children, it can also drain the fun out of them, which according to studies is a detrimental part of child development.
For your zodiac personality, a structured play that can still satisfy your desire for order as well as create a fun place for your child is the way to go. Places like indoor playgrounds, activity centers, home-based puzzles or obstacle courses can serve both you and your child.
Unlike other zodiacs that seem like natural-born parents, your sign is a little adverse to caring for children because of your highly independent and individualistic approach. You might notice struggling to enjoy child care during the earlier years of your kid. This is because you would rather talk to sensible, mature individuals than try to understand children.
With all that said, it doesn’t mean though that you can’t be a parent. However, there might be quite a number of instances that will test your patience and resolve. But the good side of all these is that when your child becomes an adult, unlike other parents, you’ll thoroughly enjoy their company and might even become best of friends.
If you’re a Pisces, you know that you have quite a loving and empathetic side and it doesn’t take you a lot of effort to stretch a hand of understanding towards your child. Because of this trait, you are able to form a close bond with your child. Looking for more enjoyable activities you can do together can sometimes become challenging to you though because it seems you’ve been able to do all of it from parent-child dance lessons to costume parties.
While you’re definitely a natural at parenting, you can tend to overreact in some instances. Make sure to give your child some controlled freedom as well like giving them options or letting them loose in a controlled environment. Book a ticket for indoor playgrounds regularly and let them play with other kids in a safe space. You’ll be happy with the results.
No matter what zodiac sign you have, parenting is serious work. While for others it is less difficult, there is no approach to parenting that is perfect. We hope this article helps guide you on or at least relate to you.

Among numerous findings throughout the years, researchers around the globe have stumbled upon certain discoveries that should have never been made. Some of these discoveries directly contradict the beliefs and ‘tales’ set forth by mainstream scholars about mankind, its origins and ancient civilizations that inhabited our planet in the distant past.
It has become a popular belief that ancient civilizations across the globe were in fact much more advanced than what mainstream researchers are crediting them for. Numerous maps discovered in the past are clear indications that the story told today by scholars is incomplete, and there are numerous missing links in our history. These ‘missing links’ are being put together by these incredible ancient maps that prove mankind inhabited our planet much longer than what mainstream scholars believe.
However, the existence of these incredible maps proves that in the distant past, ancient explorers had an extremely well-developed cartography system comparable in precision with the one we have today. The maps are also evidence that ancient mankind knew the exact shape and size of the Earth, contrary to popular beliefs, and used spherical trigonometry, and precise and elaborate mathematical calculations, as if thousands of years ago, an unknown civilization undertook a global-scale project of mapping te entire planet like no one has ever done before.
One of the most intriguing maps is the Zeno Map. Published around 1380, the enigmatic maps accurately depicts the coasts of modern-day countries such as Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, and Scotland. Mysteriously, this ancient map also depicts the EXACT latitude and longitude of a number of islands on our planet. This is a huge enigma since the device necessary to measure the longitude, the chronometer, was not invented until 1765. If this isn’t mysterious enough, the Zeno map also depicts Greenland free of glaciers, meaning that somehow, someone charted it prior to the Ice Age.
The Camerio map. Created in 1502, this map does not depict unusual features as other maps do but it has one very strange detail. The Camerio map uses a spherical grid, even though people in the middle ages still believed our planet was in fact… flat.
Another mind boggling map is without a doubt the Iehudi Ibn ben Zara map. Created in 1487, the map displays remnants of glaciers in Britain, but also extremely detailed depictions of islands in the Mediterranean and Aegean seas. Today, these islands still exist, but due to rising water levels, these are now underwater.
The Hadji Ahmed map, published in 1559, shows incredibly accurate delineations of the western coast of Northern America and Antarctica. What is even more incredible is the fact that this ancient map shows a land bridge connection Siberia and Alaska, indicating it originated from a time when the bridge was still present.
Published in 1737 by Philippe Buache, the Buache map is believed to have been created with the use of much more ancient maps. This chart displays Antarctica well before the ‘icy’ continent was in fact discovered. Interestingly, like many other ancient maps, this too accurately depicts Antarctica with no ice. The Bouche Map also accurately positioned the Canary Island. The map issued in 1737 also displays the correct outline of the underwater plateau on which the islands are located. This means that the source of the map used to create it is based on a survey of the shape before glaciers melted and ocean levels rose. Even more interesting is the fact that the Buache Map depicts the waterway which divides the continent of Antarctica into two landmasses.
Created in 1502, the Harry King Chart displays northern Siberian rivers emptying into the Arctic ocean which is now under ice. Interestingly, it also depicts glacial remains in the Baltic countries and accurately depicts the ancient Suez Canal. This incredible map also depicts what today are huge islands in Southeastern parts of Asia, but joined together by land, indicating that geologically speaking, the maps were created when the Earth looked much differently.
The Map of the North by Ptolemy depicts glacial sheets moving across south-central Greenland. It also depicts glaciers retreating from modern-day Germany (north) and parts of southern Sweden. Another map indicating a different time on Earth.
Another interesting map is the King Jaime World Chart. It was created in 1502, and accurately depicts parts of the Sahara Desert displaying it much differently than it is today: with fertile land, huge lakes rivers and what appear to be ancient cities. In fact, Sahara was, in the distant past, a fertile land filled with animal life and forests.
The Oronce Finé World Map created in 1534, is an early cordiform chart which displays features of Antarctica when the continent was not covered by Ice. While it is yet another map which shows the continent before it was officially ‘found’, the chart also shows continent rivers, valleys, and coastlines while also depicting the approximate location of what is the South Pole today.

I hadn’t been to Red Mountain in over 4 years and was happy to experience it again. Milana Knowles, our VP Day Spa Sales and Marketing, held a Day Spa Retreat there with 35 of our partner day spa owners and managers. She invited me to speak to the group as part of the education part of the program.
I noticed a general level of improvement in décor, food and accommodations at Red Mountain. Of course staying in one of their new villas made the whole experience much more luxe than I had ever experienced it before. Their dedicated spa facility was a real improvement over their previous “temporary” treatment rooms. Now there is a nice view with a relaxation room, good product choices, and in general a more spa-like feel. The only problem was that either they didn’t have enough therapists or all of their treatment times were booked solid. Seems they missed out on a lot of business because so many people wanted more treatments (including me) and couldn’t get them. Although more expensive than in the past, it still is a good value. I understand they are almost fully booked in October. And of course the hiking, as always, was spectacular.
We had arranged day spa retreats in the past but this was our first one in a long time – and the first that Milana coordinated. By all counts it seems it was a tremendous success…with the day spa owners having (in many cases) their first destination spa experience. Milana provided most of the education as she is an expert on retail sales and has managed some of the largest day spas in the country. There wasn’t a question she couldn’t answer! Comfort Zone was the sponsor and they were very generous in gifting all of the participants with facials and an array of their full size products.
We reviewed the results of our recent Day Spa Survey 2007 and I even gave them a “sneak peek” of the Top Spa Trends we are considering for 2008. (top secret!) What I like about these retreats is that the day spa owners are willing to share information very openly because they come from all over the country and for the most part do not compete with each other. By the time we all enjoyed the evening Fire Ceremony at the end of the retreat, we had gotten to know each other and become friends. Even shedding some tears together around the fire on that full-moon night, felt surprisingly good.

i hadn’t been to red mountain in over 4 years and was happy to experience it again. milana knowles, our vp day spa sales and marketing, held a day spa retreat there with 35 of our partner day spa owners and managers. she invited me to speak to the group as part of the education part of the program.
i noticed a general level of improvement in décor, food and accommodations at red mountain. of course staying in one of their new villas made the whole experience much more luxe than i had ever experienced it before. their dedicated spa facility was a real improvement over their previous “temporary” treatment rooms. now there is a nice view with a relaxation room, good product choices, and in general a more spa-like feel. the only problem was that either they didn’t have enough therapists or all of their treatment times were booked solid. seems they missed out on a lot of business because so many people wanted more treatments (including me) and couldn’t get them. although more expensive than in the past, it still is a good value. i understand they are almost fully booked in october. and of course the hiking, as always, was spectacular.
we had arranged day spa retreats in the past but this was our first one in a long time – and the first that milana coordinated. by all counts it seems it was a tremendous success…with the day spa owners having (in many cases) their first destination spa experience. milana provided most of the education as she is an expert on retail sales and has managed some of the largest day spas in the country. there wasn’t a question she couldn’t answer! comfort zone was the sponsor and they were very generous in gifting all of the participants with facials and an array of their full size products.

Hi folks! I'm home from Las Vegas and carving out some time to write about my first time at this convention. There's a lot to write about. First off, a big thanks to Frontline Gaming and the Wargamers Consortium for hosting an event like this, I know it's a ton of work & planning. And a HUGE appreciation to my friends Clint & Yeji for letting me be their guest. They were wonderful, generous hosts and I had a great time hanging out with my friends in person!
Last Wednesday, after working long days at PAX South handling hundreds of people's brushes, I was feeling a little under the weather, but after lots of sleep and vitamins, I bounced back in time to pack for the Las Vegas Open. I opened my new TableWar case that my sister bought me for Christmas and started packing my miniatures carefully into the box. I did notice that one of the latches didn't stay closed and didn't line up correctly no matter how I tried to align it (see middle photo below).
At the convention, I asked Doug and Todd about it while stopping by the Tablewar vendor booth and they said it seems to be a manufacturing issue and they offered to exchange it for another model. I appreciated their excellent customer service and my new case fits together so much better! Flying with it was an easy experience– airport TSA didn't have any problems with this going through security and it fit perfectly under the plane seat so I could keep it by my side at all times.
Once I arrived in Las Vegas, I stepped off the plane to be bombarded with flashing lights and bright slot machines– it's almost as if the city is screaming at you to spend your money everywhere you look. The buildings are absolutely over-the-top (the Excalibur hotel is built like a castle) and I kept saying "Wow, what is that?" like a starry-eyed five year old as Clint & Yeji picked me up and drove me around for a quick tour of the city. They had places where you can pay to shoot machine guns in an enclosed area,and flashy advertisements for restaurants and show entertainment on every blinking billboard and street corner. This city is insane. Also, the food here is fabulous. More on that later.
The Las Vegas Open took place in Bally's Casino this year and the open ballroom hosted many tables for tournament games that included Dropzone Commander, Warhammer 40k and 30k, Malifaux, Infinity, X-Wing and more! On one side of the ballroom was a vendor hall that included reps from Tablewar, Privateer Press, Badger Airbrush Co, Games Workshop, Battlefoam to name a few. I finally broke down and purchased a Badger Airbrush Patriot 105 starter kit. I've never used an airbrush before, though I took Lovejoy's "Airbrushing 101" class at ReaperCon '15. As I push myself to be a more efficient painter, I need to use it for smooth priming and marking out interesting lighting effects on miniatures before I jump into my usual brushwork. I'm starting with the Patriot 105 since it's highly recommended for beginners. Aaron says "Too many people try to upgrade too quickly to the most expensive airbrushes. The Patriot airbrush is a workhorse and if you're having problems with it, it's not the airbrush, it's you." Good to know! I value learning from the ground up and I want to make sure I practice the basics before I advance to other techniques.
My favorite vendor at LVO was Zombiesmith. I bought many of their smaller scale miniatures, including some bunny mechs (yep, you heard me right!). I met David and Josh, both cool guys who have some great games, art, and quality minis to share. I hadn't heard of their company before LVO, and I'm glad I found them– maybe one day I'll branch out and play the game. Until then, I'll have some fun minaitures to paint up when I have the time!
LVO is largely a tournament-focused event, which means the main ballroom is less painter-friendly than other conventions you may have attended. Now when I say it wasn't painter-friendly, don't get me wrong– it wasn't unfriendly, there just weren't places to set up shop or areas to find the guest artists when they weren't teaching classes. For example, Jillian Walker, from Foxtail Studios, wanted to share some monochrome painting techniques at a table outside the ballroom close to where the classes were being held. However, Bally's security asked us to leave, and we finally managed to find an open table in the main room to sit and talk shop over the high noise level. Some conventions will have a place for the folks who are teaching lessons at tables with electricity run under them (for lamps, etc) so you can come up and ask them questions, get painting tips, and converse in between classes. I do hope LVO incorporates a few paint tables into their layout planning. Painters don't need much– maybe some tables against a wall with an electrical socket. We spent as much time as possible with the Wargamers Consortium folks, hovering around the table they had set up for the Draconic Awards. They're some cool folks and worked hard to accomodate and fairly judge the influx of competition entries this year. However, it just wasn't a good place to stay and chat since we mostly ended up getting in the way as people submitted their painting entries. Since we couldn't find a good place to comfortably land, we went exploring outside Bally's casino– Chinese New Year was happening the same weekend as the Super Bowl, so there were plenty of people to watch and things to see out on the town!
Here are some more photos of each of the classes!
It really was wonderful to meet some of the folks whose work I've been following online for quite some time as well as meeting the Wargamers Consortium crew. It was also a great experience for me to attend another convention (usually I can afford enough vacation time/travel expenses for one out-of-state con per year) and I was happy to be able to enter a few miniatures in their contest– the Draconic Awards. There were some amazing entries this year!
I'm grateful for my wonderful friends Clint & Yeji who made my stay awesome (I'll have to post more adventure/foodie pics in another post) and to the great artists and gamers who inspire me and support me in my painting journey. One day, I'd like to find the time to learn more about competitive tournaments (I'd probably start with Infinity) and expand my knowledge of the gameplay. In the meantime, I'm going to use this momentum to jump into some new projects and write more about PAX South from the week before last. I attended two conventions in two weeks– one as a rep and another as an attendee. Whew, I have a lot of catching up to do with both blogging and painting!

Next we have the Sediment Side Table from CB2, crafted of mango wood and Torrento marble. The clean lines of the piece let the materials themselves take center stage.
Small lighting is one of this season’s most sizzling items! Expect this trend to stick around for awhile, making fall a great time to find your dream pendant or sconce. These Bell Flush Mount Lamps from CB2 feature domed shades that are anything but bulky. Choose from white with a brass-painted interior or black with a white interior.
Slender pendant lights are all the rage, as you can display them alone for a minimalist effect or hang them in a group for a creative cluster. These Candlestick Pendants from CB2 are based on the classic candlestick, and the combination of ornate detail and chic simplicity is quite alluring!
A pioneer in geo forms, ferm LIVING offers a wide array of sculptural finds. If their current collection is this fabulous, we can’t wait to see what they unleash for fall!
From slanted wood to enlarged chevron patterns featuring large sloping sections, these days it’s all about the diagonal. This Black Stripe Cushion from ferm LIVING is a sure sign of diagonal fever!
This Ruffled + Ruched Quilt + Shams in Peach Rose from West Elm bring diagonal lines to the bedding realm. If peachy hues aren’t for you, take note that this design is available in a variety of colors.
Gone are the days when birds were the fairest of them all. Don’t get us wrong–birds will always be in style. But these days other creatures are in the spotlight, from dogs and cats to safari animals. These Rhino Bookends from The Land of Nod are kid-friendly and fabulous.
Jonathan Adler makes everything chic! We love his use of brass and unconventional animals when it comes to shiny decor. Below we see the Brass Dachshund Ring Bowl, along with a trio of other creature finds.
As fall approaches, be on the lookout for the trends above, from mixed materials to an array of quirky animal decor finds. Don’t feel the need to exclusively embrace one style. For example, the precision of geo forms can be contrasted with the relaxed feel of brush strokes for an interesting interplay of motifs. We’ll continue to profile the top decor finds for fall as the balmy heat of summer turns to the invigorating breeze of autumn!

Remember when we caught up with Gabisile Tshabalala, who is more popularly known as Gontse from Scandal!, and found out how she's about to be a mom soon?
Well, she recently held her baby shower and we have some of the happy snaps.
Gabisile who still looks as gorgeous as ever, looks as if she's about to pop and was surrounded by family and friends on the cute day.

Villagers in Essex have found an unusual way of fundraising - by filling up on desserts from around the world.
Rather than run another village fete, residents in Terling, near Chelmsford, host the "International Trifle Festival".
The event started last year with villagers using recipes from as far afield as Wales and Australia in the hope to impress the judges and raise money for the local church.
Organisers said they expected Sunday's festival to again have a worldwide flavour as well as a large number of villagers and visitors ready to put the trifles to the test.
Organiser Hetty Taylor said "This year we're going to have a French trifle and certainly a New Zealand trifle entering the competition."
However, she also warned there could be some trifles which may not suit everybody's taste.
"I don't know if we're going to have any bizarre trifles - last year we had a breakfast trifle with bacon and eggs," she said.
"The same person was threatening to do a Sunday roast trifle but she thinks the Yorkshire puddings might go soggy."
Money raised from the festival is donated to the village's All Saints' Church.

It is an HG2424G from HyperLink Technolgies Inc. The antenna grid is made of aluminium cast. The mounting screws are made out of V2A, the fastener for the mast seems to be made out of galvanized steel.
The antenna has a pretty good match at 2.4GHz - SWR 1.04:1 or a return loss of 33dB.

A very personal account of one family and its links across two continents and three generations, despite political divides.
In Capitalist Drive, award-winning filmmaker Barbara Chobocky turns the camera on her own extended family to discover how ordinary people cope with social and personal upheaval. For 40 years, the conflict between capitalism and communism separated her parents and their children in Australia from relatives in Prague. Yet there are fascinating parallels between the challenges facing her enterprising cousins as they negotiate the first years of free-market democracy in the Czech Republic and the experiences of her father as a post-World War Two migrant to what he called “the wild west”.
Capitalist Drive looks at life in the aftermath of the historic changes that shook Europe in the 1940s and in 1989, and the struggles involved in starting afresh - no matter where you are. It uncovers stories of love and loss, dreams and disappointments, including a father’s drive to succeed and the impact it had on those around him. And as we get to know these characters and their pasts, we discover shared passions and ambitions, including a rather eccentric attachment to cars.
A Film Australia National Interest Program in association with Documentary Films. Produced with the assistance of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
Curriculum Links: Business Studies, English, Economics, Immigration, Media, Modern History, Politics and Studies of Society and Environment.

I haven’t talked too much about my holiday in NYC / Connecticut / Cape Cod, but more of that is coming, I promise you. While in NYC just before Christmas, I met up with friends and got to experience the restaurant Ninja.
This restaurant is completely Ninja themed. The waiters are dressed as ninjas and the decor feels like something out of a movie. The experience begins by taking an elevator to the dining area. We were then led to our table, as all of the tables feel very secluded and private. When you order from the menu, it has symbols on it indicating which meals come with Ninja presentations.
These presentations are in the photos above. They lit food on fire, and used weapons to serve the dishes… and much more.
My sushi (above) came with a magical fog (dry ice) which added to the presentation.
Above is a photo of the dessert we ordered. It looks like breakfast but it was a tasty dessert. All the dishes were fun and the night was enjoyed by the whole group. It’s a pricy meal, so save if for a special occasion and it’s fun with groups (as the more specialty meals ordered, the more ninja magic you get to see). Check it out if you get the chance in New York City.
