Disney double bill following the adventures of young Native
American woman Pocahontas (voice of Irene Bedard). 'Pocahontas'
(1995) follows the eponymous character and her tribe, whose lives
are dramatically changed by the arrival of a shipload of English
settlers. Amongst them is handsome adventurer Captain John Smith
(Mel Gibson) who falls for Pocahontas, although their cultural
differences seem destined to keep them apart. In the sequel,
'Pocahontas 2 - Journey to a New World' (1998), Pocahontas is on a
mission of peace to England, accompanied by dashing sea captain
John Rolfe (Billy Zane). Upon arrival in London, Pocahontas
prepares for the King's Ball, but the reappearance of both
former-beau John Smith (Donal Gibson) and disgraced Governor
Ratcliffe (David Ogden Stiers) throws her into a quandary.
This book provides critical insight into the experience of
multi-owned property, and showcases different cultural responses
across the Asia-Pacific region. Escalating demand for properties
within global cities has created exuberance around apartment
living; however less well understood are the restrictions on
individual rights and responsibilities associated with collective
living. In contrast to the highly populated and traditional
communal housing arrangements of past Asian economies, we see an
increasing focus on neo-liberalist, market-based policies
associated with the rise of an Asian middle class shaping
structural change from communal to individualistic. This edited
collection unpacks the rights, restrictions and responsibilities of
multi-owned property ownership across the Asia-Pacific region;
examining the experiences of developers, strata-managers, owners
and residents. In doing so, they highlight how the rights of one
party affects the restrictions and responsibilities of others
within different policy frameworks. This work will reach an
interdisciplinary audience including scholars and practitioners of
sociology, public policy, urban studies and planning, economics,
property management and architecture.

Enjoy the read Christian Scheid and Michael Gabriel
In the distant future, on a planet far from Earth, a religious
preacher appears just as war threatens to engulf the galaxy. He
brings a compelling message of sacrifice, encouraging the people to
break free from their meaningless and lifeless customs. His gospel
challenges both the ritualistic religious leaders and an oppressive
occupying power. His name is Jesus. On the other side of the
galaxy, Treb Captain Win's research ship is commandeered by the
military to undertake a covert mission to find a missing freighter
carrying illicit weapons. Along on the mission are two troublesome
humans: a shady government official who isn't telling Win the whole
story about the mission, and a scientist who has developed a
controversial theory about the connection between religion and
cultural advancement. When the search for the weapons leads to
K'Turia, Win and his companions are caught between Jesus, the
priests, and their enemies. Drawn into an unfolding drama that is
eerily familiar to what happened on Earth, they are forced to make
a desperate choice: save the galaxy or save Jesus.
