Movies to Watch in 2014
Thursday, December 18, 2014, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)
For the last meeting of the year, we will just have fun by examining the movies of 2014. The Golden Globes nomination just came out today, and we can use this as a guide. But if there is a movie that you would like to discuss, please add your movie suggestion as a comment. It does not matter if you saw the movie or not. Often the topic of the movie is enough for stimulating conversation.

Life Stories
Thursday, December 11, 2014, 10am to 11:30 in the Meeting Room (behind the fireplace)
The schedule shows that December will be used for catch-up and trying new things. The first meeting of December was use to reschedule the Clean Energy Innovation meeting from November. The meeting focused on the upside. But there is also a downside and I said we would cover that next week. However, during the meeting, many more Climate Change topics came up including, water shortage, energy storage, climate politics, green jobs, nuclear power, geo-engineering and the Clathrate Gun Hypothesis. As a result we will reserve January to cover these and any other topic of Climate Change.
So next week we try something new. There are many superb TED Talks about people who did interesting with there lives. These life stories provide life lessons that applies to anyone, and they are told in a way that is truly inspirational. For the test case, we will show the two talks from Diana Nyad, who at age 64 swam from Cuba to Florida. She is the only TED speaker to give a talk about a glorious failure and then return after achieving success.
