farmers held a nationwide protest today in Germany. Driving home from my grandmas my mom and I saw quite a few heading home from Munic. While I FULLY understand the farmers complaints and their profession does deserve more respect I think they are directing their anger towards the wrong direction. The "Bauernverband", the farmers union basically, is a mafiosus club. The leaders are lobbyist of the agricultural industry and have IMMENSE power on politics. (comparable with the automobile industry here or the NRA in the US) Key figures have over ten positions in boards of agricultural companies, politics, insurances, etc. of course they're going to make politics to benefit the agricultural industry. This is all not a conspiracy theory, it is facts from well researched documentaries and articles. Also fact remains that farming IS KEY to many or all of our environmental struggles. It can be part of the problem but also a BIG part of the solution. Farmers have been disgrunteled, in Bavaria, ever since the petition "Save the bees - biodiversity" In Baden-Würtenberg the Bauernverband is lobbying HARD against the same kind of petition because it would restrict the use of chemicals (pestizides, fertilizers) Ok sorry, tmi since nobody asked. Environment is just my issue. Next to music my big love. As it seems i'll be on lookout ready to leave the house as soon as i find out Adam is in Munic. lol Thanks for the info...very interesting. I was born in Landshut, and lived the next 13 years in a small town nearby. Then I migrated to the U.S. I haven't been back since '91, but it's interesting to hear about how Bavaria has changed/stayed the same since my childhood. My sister was just there this summer, and told me the town we grew up in has changed sooooo much...makes me a bit sad. But I guess, no matter where you live in the world, some of the struggles are the same...sadly.

Following all the embeded links eventually gets us to Lino being in Sau Paulo Brazil: he Cinemark XD Auditorium will host the premiere of "Playmobil - The Movie" on Friday (December 6) from 10am to 11:45 am. Soon after, Lino DiSalvo participates in a panel in which he will present unpublished materials and talk about the film and his career. A veteran professional with more than 17 years of career at Walt Disney Animation Studios, Lino DiSalvo served as Animation Head of Oscar-winning "Frozen," with the highest grossing box office for an animation. Lino also served as Animation Supervisor in "Rolled Up" and "Bolt - Supercão". A father of two children and a longtime Playmobil® fan, he joined ON Animation in 2016 to develop and direct the first official Playmobil® brand feature film. "The concept behind the play 'Playmobil: The Movie' was to bring together everything I learned in 'Rolled Up' and 'Frozen' in an interesting way to build the characters and create a movie that is funny, action-packed and that parents enjoy the feeling itself so that the children can have fun and everyone can feel that there is a story full of emotion. "

Just a quick note that the Adam Full Circle website adamfullcircle.com is now fully viewable on mobile phones (the original version of the website was too large to read on a phone). I had to manually redefine the size and placement of all content to fit within a phone's screen, but it was totally worth it. Totally technologist - family asks - whatya workin on dad? I can imagine your daughter on a tablet asking where's the chandelier song.

@drbrianmay: ‘Spot the tune’ continued ! Well, now you can hear what I’m hearing in the headphones while I’m doing this ‘take’ ... you can hear the rough backing track as well as the rough ‘me’. So now it’s easy, right ? Cheers… www.instagram.com/p/B37lZPhB-C6/?igshid=5p5nyz65kzyt

svca Landshut is like an hours drive form my house. My little town has changed as well. We live in a "markt", a "collection" of villages. The tree main towns have almost grown together. In my lifetime my town has doubled it's citicins fom ~800 - ~1600. The main issue stayes the same. I'm lucky to be living in the "speck-gürtel" with alot of industry and jobs and thus people moving here. Which in reverse means there are more rural regions where people, especially young people leave in order to find jobs. This can be seen on a national scale or on a bavarian (or insert any other bundesland).

It seems that not having Velvet CD's ready on release date may have hurt Adam's standing on the Billboard 200 chart a lot. Fantasia came in at #62 and she is on an indie label that had her CD's out on time. She had 8k in album sales #10 and does not have any big streaming numbers. So with only a few thousand more than Adam she is far up the chart. I have to believe that if his physical CD's had been shipped on time he would have had a thousand and maybe more added. Oh well, I'm not impressed with how this has all played out. Amazon, Empire and I guess Adam's site did not ship until after the release week cause they weren't available. Not a good time to be unorganized, imo. But Adam is moving forward with his promotion so hopefully SP will keep moving up. I was not expecting them to do as well as a major but the effort is frustrating because Velvet is wonderful.

Yes, I pre-ordered from Empire and have just been told that the CDs are on their way. Do we know for sure that they have to be physically shipped to count towards the Billboard chart?

I'm not in control of Adam's career ,I can barely manage my own life..LOL

Just an observation.
