To day or not to day #40: ‘FEED the world’ or ‘feed the WORLD’? By ensuring that people not only get calories, but also more nutrients, we can not only provide a longer life, but improve the quality of their lives as well. This year at Christmas it was 28 years ago that Bob Geldof and many pop icons of the '80s shook the collective conscience with their message 'Feed the World. Let them know it's Christmas time '. Despite the major challenges that still exist, Sir Bob - as he is called now - and his fellow organizers of 'Live Aid' can look back with some satisfaction at what has been achieved, not least thanks to their efforts. Since the days of Live Aid are dietary patterns around the world have significantly improved and the world proportionately counts fewer undernourished people, although their absolute number is rising.

"Anyway, you have no proof ..."
The Cahuzac case is revealed by Médiapart, a French independent newspaper. The French budget minister would have illegally held a Swiss bank account for more than 20 years in the years 1980-2000. The newspaper Médiapart has compromising evidence, but the minister still denies the existence of such an account.
This case raises a more general question of the independence of journalism because the newspaper Médiapart suffers criticism from all sides even as he gave evidence of his accusation to the courts.

'Bye Johannes, have a safe trip' - about a whale that washed up on the Dutch shore.
The whale was given the name Johannes.
In that same week a dead spermwhale washed up on the same shore next to Johannes. There were a lot of rescue workers and even the Dutch navy came to help get the whale back into the ocean. They even tried to euthanize the whale with an injection but he wasn't ready to die. They closed off the beach and said the whale must be left alone, because there was nothing they could do to save him.
The Whale died, after laying on the sandbank for six days.
The Dutch people are very angry with the government: there must have been a way to prevent the whale from dying, the government didn't try hard enough.
This Illustration is a tribute to the whale and it tells his sad story.

To day or not to day #38: "Met het laatste oog op morgen" (With the last eye on tomorrow) contains 17 texts (in Dutch) with simple animated drawings and a jazzy soundtrack.

To day or not to day #36: Steve Jobs. Innovation is making something out of nothing and foremost a process that can't be rationalized. It starts with a vision of "something" that is doesn't exist yet. Then it must be created. Perhaps the least understood quality of Steve Jobs is his creative interaction with reality. His "reality distortion field" was the success factor that led to his groundbreaking innovations. He was a swindler, fickle. How is it possible that such a shameless liar created the most valuable company in the world? Maikel Batelaan in FD Weekend Essay on Saturday, October 4, 2012.
