A Stoke family have been reunited with their reluctant hero, who saved a young boy's life in a dramatic rescue at Tahunanui's Back Beach at the weekend.
On Tuesday the Nelson Mail reported on a mystery man who saved a young boy caught in a rip.
Anthony and LaVerne Clark, along with son Aidan, 11, and daughter Gabrielle, 4, had been at the beach, near Parker's Cove for their first swim of the year.
Aidan had been collecting shells in water up to his waist, when he was swept up in a rip.
He was soon 10 metres out from the shore and his feet no longer touched the ground. His father tried to reach him, but the rip was too strong.
Then a man with shoulder-length blond hair ran into the water and pulled Aidan to safety, giving Mr Clark a chance to swim back on his own. After pulling Aidan to the beach, the man disappeared.
But yesterday the family were able to thank him in person at his Tahunanui flat, giving him plenty of hugs as well as a small hamper, after the man's flatmates contacted the Nelson Mail.
The rescuer was Estonian man Toomas Krivonogov, who along with partner Triina Trei, had been walking along the beach that afternoon.
Ms Trei works at Kite Surf Nelson in Tahunanui, and the couple have kite-surfed near where Aidan got into trouble, so they knew the current was fierce at that point.
They had seen a group of Project Jonah volunteers practising on the beach, and Mr Krivonogov said at first he thought it was some kind of training exercise.
"[He] was so close to the beach, and I heard them calling out. Then I realised that there was something happening."
He could see Aidan swimming against the current, but thought he was stuck in a fisherman's net because he was not making any progress.
Mr Krivonogov said once in the water he did not even notice the current, and the whole rescue felt as if it only took seconds.
After he brought Aidan back to shore, and checked he was OK, he spent half an hour catching his breath further down the beach. Aidan had been a pretty good swimmer, and that had made the rescue easier, he said.
Although he was happy to have helped, he would never have come forward unless the family had asked and his flatmates had encouraged him, he said.
"No, I would rather be a mysterious helper."
Aidan said it felt great to be able to thank his hero, and upon meeting him he recognised him.
"Thank you for saving me," he said. Mrs Clark said being able to express their gratitude and bring closure to the incident was important.
She told Mr Krivonogov she believed if he had not been there that day, they would have lost Aidan.
"Once you realised the danger there was no hesitation to putting yourself at risk."
Although husband Anthony was out of town yesterday, Mrs Clark said he wanted to shake Mr Krivonogov's hand, and take him out for a beer.

How-To: Display Orchids in Terrariums
Orchids are a beautiful, allergy-friendly choice for brightening up your home, but this pretty plant can be difficult to keep. They have a fine line when it comes to moisture — soaking them takes time and space, and the best way to kill an orchid is to overwater it. Planting your orchids in terrariums is the no-hassle solution for keeping the picky flower around for a long time. Not only is it an attractive and professional looking display, you can also put several orchids in one container to save on space. This technique only takes about 20 minutes to complete, and you'll cut down how much you need to feed your plant to about once every few months. No, I'm not joking. Want to learn how to display your orchids in terrariums?

Comrades: Tales of a Brigadista in the Spanish Civil War
Fisher was one of the earliest American volunteers and one of the few to participate in all the major battles. Under a barrage of shells, bombs, and bullets for eighteen months, he lost his illusions about war's efficacy in solving political issues. To this day a despondence often overwhelms him when he recalls a family photograph he found jutting from the pocket of a slain fascist soldier. His involvement taught him that up close the dead, whether fascist soldiers or his own fallen comrades, looked alike.
This is a war story, simply told. Yet it is also a complex story about a young man testing his ideology in the harsh realities of battle.

These are anxious times for private equity executives on the ski slopes of Davos, Switzerland.
A pair of high-profile buyout chiefs warned that the subprime mortgage market collapse and ensuing credit crunch will make it hard to finance big deals in 2008.
"Today, a pure buyout of $40 billion to $50 billion is not likely because the debt markets aren't there," Carlyle Group founder David Rubenstein told Bloomberg News at the World Economic Forum. "2008 will be a slower time to do larger buyouts."
That's because banks have a huge backlog of unsyndicated loans they need to "purge" before funding new leveraged buyout deals, according to John Snow, chairman of Cerberus Capital Management. Banks need to sell some $200 billion worth of existing loans before the pace of LBOs will approach last year's record levels.
"The whole market for transactions has slowed down some and will continue to slow down until the big thaw takes place," the former U.S. Treasury secretary said. "We are seeing a slight thawing but credit markets are still tight. There's a lot of paper still not priced yet."
Rubenstein indicated that Carlyle would focus on making minority investments, acquisitions in emerging markets, other asset managers—expecially hedge funds and real estate managers—and "artificially depressed" sectors of the economy while the credit crunch stymies bigger moves.
"Financial services companies are particularly beaten down, and they'll probably see a lot of private equity activity," he said.
Rubenstein also held out the prospect that p.e. firms will seek to go around the big banks, looking to sovereign wealth funds to pick up the slack.
"Sovereign wealth funds have enormous amounts of money, they buy fixed-income instruments as well as equity, and it's quite possible they can provide debt for some of these large buyouts if they chose to do so," he said.

Opening Pension Fund Books Even Wider
Public pension funds have begun releasing data on their venture- capital investments, something they had not done in the past.
Public pension funds have begun releasing data on their venture- capital investments, something they had not done in the past.
Pressure for the data is coming from the media. In reaction to a public records request from the Houston Chronicle, the University of Texas pension fund announced in October that it would make public the performance of its private equity investments. "The big corporate disasters we've seen recently really demand a more open and transparent environment, especially when we're talking about public funds," says Bob Boldt, president of the Texas fund, known as UTIMCO.
Retirement funds for Oregon's public employees and California's teachers took similar action recently, as did California's massive pension fund known as CalPERS, which settled a lawsuit with the San Jose Mercury News in December. CalPERS agreed not only to release data on its venture investments but also to develop a standard for transparency on venture-fund investments.
The wave of disclosures, however, is rankling the venture-capital industry, which is known for taking big risks on small upstart companies. Venture firms argue that disclosure is trickier than with stocks or bonds, that the investments tend to linger in the red for some time before turning a profit--a pattern that, they say, journalists or politicians could easily misrepresent.
A few venture firms are angry enough about the disclosure rules that they've vowed to stop doing business with public pensions in the future. But Boldt says investment lawyers are already crafting ways around the rules. "In some states, lawyers are urging general partners to not give us any information on paper, for our eyes only," Boldt says. "If we don't have it, we can't disclose it."

Dear Mr CIO, how is the year ahead planning program going so far? I know, sorry, it's a tough one. The deployment and integration of devices, mobile connectivity points, virtual cloud-based desktop services, security, Big Data, tablets, mini-tablets and micro-mini-tablets (don't worry, we made that last one up) all present a multiplicity of challenges.
The hyper-efficient CIO should look back on 2012 first and take stock of recent developments as the most prudent means of planning for 2013. Commonly agreed wisdom suggests that migration plans from XP to Windows 7 have now been put in place and (by and large) also been put into motion in most reasonably sized firms.
Corporate deployment of Windows 8 is of course still some way off, but that's okay because we're upgrading in the right direction for now.
The prudent CIO planner will also have the foresight to look beyond the so-called consumerization of IT and the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) phenomenon. Of course, they're not really phenomena as such - but let's live with the expressions as they are. These are arguably superficial trends whose impact is aggregated into the wider barometer of data production, manipulation, analysis and subsequent storage.
What will matter in the months ahead then?
Gartner says spending on devices will rise by over six percent in the year ahead to US$666 billion, so shouldn't this be shaping the core of every CIO's strategy? The answer is no, not really. Don't believe the device hype. This growth should not underpin the core rationale for developing IT strategy in 2013.
'Everything Data' Comes of Age
More important is "Everything Data," i.e., those chunks of Big Data created by the growing number of devices and also, quite crucially, The Internet of Things and its sensors, dials, reporting machinery and so on.
Although this so-called "Everything Data" emanating from the so-called "Internet of Things" sounds superficial at first, these are early days.
Yes the data produced by electronically enabled fridge-based shopping lists and computerized in-car entertainment systems are predominantly consumer created and consumer centric, but these are early days. As the digitization of the world around us continues to increase, so will the business-centric opportunities to analyze these digital assets and derive commercial value from them.
As a simple example here, consider the fact that all a firm's employees now have smartphones and location-aware tablets. As mobile working increases, the opportunity to formulate business plans based on who does what task when (and where) it opens up, as we now get to potentially analyze the minutiae of detail relating to employee actions.
So forget location-aware mobile devices and consider what the next generation of data will be telling us from the Internet of Things. Suddenly, knowing what our in-car computers might be saying to the back-end servers analyzing our driving behavior starts to sounds more like a business-centric economic regulator.
Extra Data DNA Charge
If these new flows of data prove as substantial, persistent and valuable as they have the potential to be, then CIOs will need to look to bring in and/or develop software applications that can support new and improved business processes that are capable of feeding on data from a greater number of sources.
You might describe this as "drinking from a fire hose" as software is now subjected to more and more information from a greater number of sources. It's almost like taking standard human being #ABC1 and pumping him or her with a supplementary charge of DNA.
We have the potential to compute more, know more and do more - but it will be equally easy to feel overwhelmed and suffer data indigestion if we do not plan for this now.

Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys. May. 4, 2015 09:45 AM EDT Reads: 5,839 |

(10) 1 Oz .999 Pure 24k Gold Layered Bar German 3rd Reich For Sale
This sale is for 10 of these bars.You can tell by the pictures these bars have mirror proof finishes. Any specks you see are on the plastic airtight holders and NOT on the bars. The bars are fresh from the mint and have never been taken out of the plastic holders. Every bar comes with it's own plastic holder. Although the pictures show the mirror proof fields of these bars the beautiful yellow gold luster of the bars is washed out by the pictures. They are gorgeous.
Anyone interested in large quantities of these or any other art bars contact us by clicking on the 'Ask a question' link at the bottom of this listing for details.
We get these directly from the manufacturer who mints these beautiful bars and who also produce precious metals bullion bars and rounds. Keep reading for more details and pricing.
Our prices are not etched in stone. If you are a volume seller we can make adjustments accordingly.
These bars are 50mm x 28mm x 3mm. The core metal is copper which is electroplated in pure gold. The amount of actual gold applied to the bars surface during the electroplating process is small. These are bought more for their symbolic look and beauty than for their gold content although the price of these bars has increased because of the core metal and gold metals spot price has appreciated some people have bought these as an investment had have done well with them. They have appreciate almost 250% in the last three years. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

BCBS Foundation Report:
No easy way to reconcile state, federal health laws
- Julie M. Donnelly, firstname.lastname@example.com
The state must either forfeit much of the money it collects in fines from businesses that violate the state's health overhaul law, or face a political backlash from the business community.
That's the analysis of a new report by the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation, intended to serve as a policy guide for resolving a major discrepancy between the state and federal laws.
Now that the dust has settled following the U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding the constitutionality of the national law, the state must move forward with efforts to integrate the national health care overhaul law with its own six-year-old state health overhaul law.
While many similarities exist between the two laws, one area that will likely require a legislative fix is the conflicting penalty structures for employers that are found to be in violation of the laws. Some business leaders have voiced concern that a confusing patchwork of state and federal mandates could compound the burden for local businesses.
"I'm not convinced that Massachusetts policy-makers, where they see less regulation in the Obama law, decide to go with the federal provision," said Bill Vernon, Massachusetts director of the National Federation of Independent Business. "There could be a layering-on of the most stringent state and federal provisions, as we try to reconcile the two laws."
The Massachusetts law fines companies with 11 full-time workers or more $295 per employee if the firm fails to provide insurance. Employers with more than 50 full-time workers must both offer health coverage and get at least 25 percent of workers to buy it, regardless of whether they have other insurance.
The federal law has much larger fines — $2,000 per worker — for firms in violation of the law, but only employers with more than 50 workers can face fines.
The Blue Cross Foundation of Massachusetts report highlights four potential scenarios for resolving this discrepancy. In three of the scenarios, the state would lose much of approximately $19 million it collects each year from fines, known as the Fair Share Contribution. But the foundation posits that the one scenario that allows the state to keep the money would cause a major political backlash from the business community.
"In a constrained budget environment, every bit of revenue counts," said Sarah Iselin, Blue Cross Foundation president. "But we think the state will want to balance that with continuing to provide incentives for businesses to keep offering insurance."
In one scenario, the state could choose to eliminate the state's penalty system, meaning that companies with fewer than 50 full-time workers would face no fines, and the state would lose all fine revenues.
The second option would be to maintain the state fines for companies under 50 workers, but eliminate state penalties for larger companies, who would face federal fines. This would leave the state with just $4 million per year in fine revenue.
A third option would get rid of the state fines, but extend the larger federal fines to smaller businesses, say between 31 and 49 workers.
But this only results in $1 million for state coffers, the report found.
The fourth option — likely to ignite a fury in the business community — would keep the state penalties in place for all employers, meaning companies with more that 50 workers could face both state and federal fines.
Whatever state lawmakers decide to do, health insurance brokers say much education will be needed in the business community.
"We have been holding seminars every week since the Supreme Court decision, because clients are befuddled by a number of upcoming requirements in the federal law," David Shore, a broker at Borislow Insurance in Methuen, said. "They haven't even begun to think about how the different fines may affect them."

The Nashville Predators aren't a franchise with a long history, but it starts with David Legwand. He was the first player they ever drafted back in 1998 and he's the team's all-time leader with 894 games played.
His days with Nashville might be numbered though as the Predators aren't sure if they want to re-sign him when his contract expires in the summer of 2014.
"There's lots of considerations," Predators GM David Poile told The Tennessean. "Certainly, Leggy has been a big part of our franchise, and we would like to continue the relationship. I just want to see how the season starts."
Part of that is due to Legwand's age. He's 33 years old and will turn 34 before the start of the 2014-15 campaign, so his best days might be behind him and he's a risk in a multi-year contract.
It also remains to be seen where he fits in at this stage of his career. Legwand is a solid two-way center, but Nashville already has several veteran centers signed through 2014-15 in Mike Fisher, Paul Gaustad, and Matt Cullen. With that in mind, Poile wants to see if Legwand ends up maintaining a spot on one of the team's top two lines.
In other words, Legwand might become the first player to ever log 1,000 games in a Predators uniform, but he's going to have to prove himself one more time in order to reach that milestone.
