WELLINGTON, March 21 New Zealand's Superannuation Fund on Friday said it would invest $250 million in North American gas and oil investments run by global private equity firm KKR & Co LP, tripling its investment in the company as the state pension fund increases its exposure to private equity.
The $21 billion pension fund will invest up to $175 million over the next 3-5 years in natural gas exploration and production projects in North America along with energy infrastructure and services, it said in a statement. The remainder would be invested into KKR's new Energy Income and Growth Fund, which focuses on unconventional gas and oil resources.
Combined with its investments in KKR's Asian Fund and its 2006 Fund, the Superfund's latest investment brings its total planned investments in KKR to around $335 million.
Set up in 2003 to partially fund the cost of future pension payments for New Zealand's 4.5 million people, the Superfund has invested in private equity since 2005. The latest chunk will boost the fund's private equity investments from around 3 percent of its total portfolio at the moment.
Matt Whineray, general manager of investments at the fund, said the new investment would increase its exposure to the energy sector, adding that the fund hoped to capitalise on the rapid development of natural gas and unconventional oil assets, and offer other benefits.
"These benefits include improved expected returns, resilience in relation to a rapidly changing sector and greater insight into, and control over, our investment exposures," Whineray said in a statement.
"Our focus on responsible investment will also be bolstered by KKR's expertise in the management of environmental, social and governance factors."
When fully funded, the new investment will increase the fund's energy sector investments to around 11 percent of its total portfolio from 10 percent at the moment. This would take energy holdings back to levels seen in mid-2013, before the fund sold down some of its stake in New Zealand petrol retailer Z Energy
Friday's announcement expands the Superfund's investments in the U.S. energy sector, and follows a $100 million investment in Bloom Energy, which uses solid oxide fuel cell technology to create power, and $55 million in wind turbine manufacturer Ogin.
The Superfund has a mandate to offer returns at least 2.5 percent on average above the risk-free 90-day New Zealand Treasury bills. Since its launch, the fund has made annual returns of 9.6 percent.
KKR's primary activity involves buying businesses using borrowed money. It gained widespread recognition through its $25 billion leveraged buyout of RJR Nabisco in 1988, a battle that was immortalized in the bestseller, "Barbarians at the Gate".

Wawahte is a recently published book, as told to author Robert P. Wells by Indian Residential School Survivors. Written in two parts; the story of three representative survivors, Wawahte also mines Canadian history, bringing the reader to know how colonial "Indian" forced integration has affected so many lives.
The book has been published by Trafford Publishing.
Wells said he hopes the book ends up in every Canadian high school to help educate the country on the effects of residential schools.

We Were Children, a film that chronicles the lives of two survivors of the residential schools system in Canada, will be among the Canadian entries to the 2012 Vancouver International Film Festival (VIFF) Sept. 27 to Oct. 12
Using compelling interviews and vivid re-enactments, the docudrama tells the stories of Lyna Hart and Glen Anaquod, who were four and six, respectively, when they were taken from their families and put into church-run residential schools. Hart was sent to the Guy Hill Residential School in Manitoba; Anaquod went to the Lebret Indian Residential School in Saskatchewan. Both were subjected to the social isolation and cultural assimilation that was part of the federal government's policy to "kill the Indian in the child." Both were subjected to physical, emotional and sexual abuse.

Wednesday September 19th 2012 was the deadline for submitting applications to the Independent Assessment Process (IAP) which awards compensation for the abuse, harm, and continuing trauma suffered by Aboriginal Peoples at Residential Schools in Canada.
The IAP is a result of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement (full settlement text available: http://www.residentialschoolsettlement.ca/IRS%20Settlement%20Agreement-%20ENGLISH.pdf where the Canadian government, churches and individuals involved agreed to a resolution of the court claim.
Residential Schools were operated in Canada for much of the 19th and 20th centuries; the last school closing in Manitoba in 1996. It has been estimated that at least 150,000 students went to these schools.

Children's views of residential school vary.
Robert P. Wells collected and published the stories of Esther Faries, Mary Elizabeth Tenniscoe, and Stanley Stevens who attended white-run schools.
Whether Wells chose the people as friends who wanted to tell their stories or to depict differences in residential schools is not known. The stories are different and activities at the schools created different responses.

To understand the "chaos" on today's native reserves including Cape Croker, people need to appreciate the damage done by often abusive treatment of native people at residential schools, Vera Whiteye Jones said Monday at a learning and healing event in Owen Sound.
More than 100 Cape Croker families were subjected to that state-organized cultural assimilation, for which Prime Minister Stephen Harper officially apologized in 2008 and which led to a five-year Truth and Reconciliation Commission ending in 2014 and to the fourth annual Restoring the Circle event ending today at the Harry Lumley Bayshore Community Centre.

At about this time next year, Vancouver will host one of the seven national events central to Canada's formal Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), addressing the atrocities of the Indian residential school system. Powerful as this event will no doubt be, it is in essence a Truth Commission. Whether it brings reconciliation is up to all of us.
For over 150 years the Canadian government, along with the Catholic, Anglican, and United churches, ran residential schools across the country. More than 150,000 First Nations, Métis, and Inuit children were forcibly removed from their communities to attend these schools, whose intention was to "take the Indian out of the child." Along with aggressive cultural assimilation, the residential schools were plagued by high levels of physical and sexual abuse, and staggering mortality rates. And because the schools broke apart families and communities, their impact continues to be felt through generations.

The settlement, struck in 2007, aims to bring a fair and lasting resolution of the legacy of residential schools.
The Common Experience Payment wrapped up last year and it's believed nearly 100-percent of living students applied. That deal saw survivors receive $10,000 for the first school year and $3,000 for every additional year.

He is an Anishnabe Salteaux artist who used modern and postmodern technique to bring Aboriginal history to his work, where he can tackle the lingering aspects of colonization and its postcolonial aftermath.

Nishnawbe Aski Nation (NAN) are pleased to present Walking Together: Sharing Our Journey a commemoration event honouring Residential School survivors September 4-9, 2012, at the Travelodge Airlane in Thunder Bay. Residential schools for Aboriginal people in Canada date back to the 1870s. Over 130 residential schools were located across the country, and the last school closed in 1996. These government-funded, church-run schools were set up to eliminate parental involvement in the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual development of Aboriginal children.
"There have been many community discussions surrounding the area of the generation "gap" between the elders and youth," said NAN Deputy Grand Chief Les Louttit.

Thousands of people gathered for the TRC event in Prarieland Park, Saskatchewan's biggest indoor exposition space. With 200, 000 square feet of conference space, the venue was well suited to the larger-than-expected turnout.
In the Learning Area, Presbyterian, United, Anglican and Roman Catholic archivists had set up displays and arranged handouts about the schools they operated. Several hundred school images were arranged in binders for easy perusal.
Typically the images feature school buildings and surrounding property, as well as students and staff in school activities or in posed class shots. From past TRC events, we knew these photos would be highly sought out by survivors and their families. Photocopiers were at hand: many would want an immediate copy of selected photos for their personal collection.

I began each day of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission event by visiting the sacred fire.
I'd sit on a dew-covered bleacher, fingers wrapped tightly around my first cup of coffee, watching the fire and the young men tasked with keeping it burning 24 hours a day for four days straight.
Each morning the elders arrived to visit the fire keepers, pass around trays from Tim Hortons and share a few laughs. Then the elders would enter their teepee and a quietness would fall over those of us present.

Chapter III: Lady Evil, page 2Mature
She took off her helmet – the only part of the armour that was actually a different piece – to appreciate the evening air. Cold, pretty cold. And it was getting quite dark, she thought. Better go home now. She was about to leave the rooftop when she saw a blue flashing light coming from the street underneath, and heard a high-pitched tune... a police siren! Suddenly excited at the prospect of some action, she hastily put her helmet back on and looked under: the car was speeding in the street, but she could catch up. She lay her sword by her hip as if she wanted to put it in a scabbard, and the scabbard magically appeared around the blade to hold it. Then she started to run, jumped to the next rooftop with ease, and to the next one again, never losing her momentum. She didn't know how fast she was actually running, but the sides of her vision were blurry and her jumps were way too long for someone running at a normal human speed. She felt like Superman, or rather, Supergirl. And she loved it. Eventually the car took a turn, and without thinking she followed it, and the next thing she knew, she found herself high up in the air over a large avenue, way larger than the small streets she had just jumped over. Why had she done that? She was gonna crash down! She yelled in terror and waved her arms wildly in the air, but to her greatest shock, she actually landed on the rooftop opposite the avenue with the grace of a cat. Her heart was drumming madly and she couldn't help but stop for a second to look behind: the gap she had just leaped was at least sixty feet wide! And although the human side of her was terrified, there was something else in her mind that was cool as a cucumber, telling her it was no big deal, the armour could do better than that if she let it.
The fading wailing of the siren reminded her of the hunt she had begun, and she resumed her race. She soon arrived at the place where a dozen police cars were stopped, their lights flashing in the night, at the entrance of a high flat building. Not in the best part of town. She stayed on the rooftop of a curry joint, as close to the bobbies as she could, and tried to listen.
"So it's a family issue," one of them told the other. "Wife kicks the bloke out, keeps the two kids. Bloke comes back with his best friend and a gun, threatens to kill them all. We got the call from a neighbour, a granny who lives on the fourth floor. Negotiations are tight, apparently the two blokes are drunk or on drugs, we can't be sure, but they can't be reasoned with..."
Okay, she had heard enough. She looked up, towards the building. It was not hard to see which flat it was: there were two searchlight pointing at a third-floor window, and soon, a man appeared at the window to shout some nonsensical threats in a state of mixed rage and panic. She took a deep breath. It was dangerous, but she could do it. She had all of these powers, she needed some action! She sprang from the curry joint, grabbed the gutter of a nearby building with ease, and made her way as close to the flat as she could get. She was on a two-storey building, and the tower she wanted to go in had at least ten floors, no way she could pass by the roof! She looked for the nearest window she could reach, found one. A very narrow window, the bathroom window, maybe. She would have to jump, hold on to the wall, and climb through the window. Quite a stunt, but after what she had just done, definitely doable.
So she went as far as she could to gain a maximal momentum. She took a deep breath of chill winter air, trying not to think too hard about what she was doing, or she would run away screaming to her bed and hide under seventy layers of blankets. Instead she put a step forward, and another, and soon she was running at a speed beyond human capacity, and when she reached the edge of the roof, she took off. The armour kept her from feeling the resistance of the air, and for what appeared to be an eternity she was floating in a void, and she felt good, like when she was at the swimming pool. Except here there was a wall coming at her at sixty miles an hour. She braced herself, ready to clutch to the wall... but that didn't happen. She felt something, a slight resistance, like diving in water, and she heard a cataclysmic sound, like something exploding, something really big, and the next thing she knew, she was standing in the middle of a darkened bathroom, with an impressive amount of concrete rubble littering the place. Was it? Had she just? She got her answer just by looking at the massive hole behind her, where once there was a wall.
"Holy sh-" she murmured in shock, but she was interrupted by the apparition of a man in the room.

I ordered a pair of shoes online from this companyI I was sent a pair of shoes that I did not order in the wrong size and wrong shoe. Normally no big deal.
I emaled the company and explained the mistake. I asked if they could send my correct shoes along with a shipping label so that I could receive my correct I order and then send them back the incorrect shoes. They refused.
it has been over a month now. They keep emailing me demanding that Insend them Nymore money via Western Union and then they will send me my correct shoes. They will not allow me to exchange the incorrect shoes or return them and refund my moneI.
Every time I have inquired about an exchange or a return they demand that I send them more money. They keep blaming some other sorting company and will not accept responsibility. They actually told more they are "too poor" to refund my money or send me a shipping label got return the shoes!!
If they are so poor, why are they even in business and why are they not taking better care to make sure they do not make mistakes? They even had the nerve o tell me that I must "shoulder the burden" for THEIR mistake!!! Do not do business with this company, they are a ripoff and they have HORRIBLE customer seKnow no one I am out $70 and stuck with an ugly too big pair of shoes that I never ordered or wanted!

Story is nothing without having the characters to build the story upon. One of the most amazing things to me is the ability in a very short story to build a portrait in your thoughts of what a character is like, why they are who they are, and what drives them.
It isn't always the main character that does this, many times it is the supporting characters that in their words and actions build up a world, a moment, an expressive work that makes it more than it first appears to be.
And what a path it is to tread upon…
- Title: Death in the Life of a Troll
- Author: Robert Tidwell
- Length: 8 Pages
- Publishing Date: June 4, 2014
- This work at Smashwords.com
- The Tumblr site of Robert Tidwell
The story tells of:
A drunken, homeless thug who is known around town as the Troll spends a day reminiscing over the death of his girlfriend, a Succubus, as a police officer narrates how Troll became known as a monster.
Tony's life, at least a few moments of it, are told by those around him. His past haunts him every day and every day he is haunted. And in that comes the story of why Tony is who he is today.
This work is very much a film noir piece with all of the setting, atmosphere, characters and more. There's so much thought put into the words that within a page you are pulled into this world, Tony's life, and all that happens to him. It's a deeply emotional read, so much remembrance comes and with it so much that goes wrong or continues to be wrong for Tony as the story goes on.
The cause behind all of this is Victoria, a Succubus that Tony once loved and is no longer. There really isn't a lot said about her, but in a few short passages her character, her physical presence stands out very well and in doing so becomes an anchor around Tony's life that pulls on his constantly.
She haunts him, there is no doubt of that, and in that haunting Tony does both good and not quite so good things. There is a deep scar in his personality, his world that will never heal and with that comes the core of this story. It's a tale of loss and what that can do to someone. It's a story about having no hope, no passion, no desire when everything is taken from you.
The amazing thing is that in such a short work, the story really stands out exceptionally well and in that I was really surprised. The author's abilities in writing, not just in creating a story, but more creating a world, characters to care about, and to be held by, is a rare thing.
Four out of five pitchforks.
I'd love to see a longer story set in this world. I'd like to see more about Victoria than we do, what her background was, why she was with Tony… So many questions left unanswered but in spite of that, the story of Tony comes out true and clear.

My Silly Halfling...
I giggled at Ara as his hand went through the blankets and floor. Everyone grinned at Ara, and began their conversations again. I reached in, and carfully took his hand, helping him free himself. "Silly Halfbreed. But them again, you are Ara. Oh well. At least you're my silly Halfling." I giggled, and kissed him lightly. He gave a little grin.
"I bet you, someday, Leigh and Fishstick with come back. And Corby. Y'know, even though we were constantly at each others throats, it feels...quiet....and strange...and kinda lonely without him, if you get what I mean." he grumbled. I grinned. I knew he missed Sealantus.
"I know what ya mean. He was almost in tears when you left! He was crying onto Leigh's shoulder with icedrops falling where the tears touched her. Quite funny. Just like you and Hola chasing a microwave with giant poles, hmm?" I laughed. Ara chuckled, his breath tickling my ear. Then, he put his hand into the same hole again. I shook my head. "Definatly my silly Halfling." I ighed, helpiing him once more.

Four Vape Myths that Keep People Smoking
Friday, 27 May 2016
Whether you're a vaper or not, you'll probably be aware of the controversy surrounding vaping and e-cigarettes. As with any new product, especially one associated with the tobacco industry, e-cigs have come under fire with many people (usually seasoned smokers) claiming that they're worse for you than regular cigarettes.
Myth one: Vape pens contain anti-freeze
This one is one of the most ridiculous of the e-cig exaggerations because let's face it – no reputable company would be putting anti-freeze in their products for people to inhale! The truth of the matter is, e-liquids contain propylene glycol; this is often an ingredient in various foods and medicinal drugs. The product that is found in anti-freeze is in fact ethylene glycol – not the same thing at all!
Myth two: Vape pens cause fires
Myth three: Vaping is more addictive than smoking
Myth four: Vaper from vape pens contains the same stuff as cigarette smoke
Whilst cigarettes release carcinogens into the air each time someone takes a drag, the vaper released when vaping is simply water vapour. Cigarettes contain nasties such as rat poison, tar, cyanide and even arsenic – they don't call them 'death sticks' for nothing…
E-liquids contain nicotine, but none of the other toxins and carcinogens that are inside each and every cigarette.
From our simple exposé, it's evident that the myths and negative connotations surrounding vaping just aren't true – so don't fall for the lies! If you're a smoker looking for a healthier alternative, then vaping is the perfect substitute.

Final Fantasy XIII demo to last over two hours
According to the upcoming DKS3713 issue of Famitsu magazine, the PlayStation 3 exclusive Final Fantasy XIII demo will clock in at a longer running time than the CGI film, Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete.
Currently the original Advent Children film clocks in at a runtime of 101mins; however, the Blu-ray version of the movie will feature scenes that were either cut completely or not finished in time for the initial release, resulting in a significantly longer runtime.
Here is a list of other tidbits revealed from the three-page spread in Famitsu:
-The Final Fantasy XIII demo will be based from the opening section of the game.
-The demo will come on a separate disc rather than on the Advent Children Blu-ray.
- Mr. 33CM's real name is based off of weather as well.
- One of the female characters, refered to as 'Pigtails Girl', has been through some tough times.
Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete is scheduled for release in March 2009. More PlayStation 3 News...

the girl is hot...
on a side note, will the ps3 suffer again from the xbox360 due to exclusive to multiplatform?
08-16-2008 #3DavidGX Guest
And Square|Enix have already stated that the ps3 version will be made for the ps3 using the strengths of the ps3 and the 360 version will undergo the same process so I wouldn't worry about it.
P.S. What the hell is "exclusive multiplatform" ?
08-16-2008 #4Blue0 Guest
If anything, the demo is going to be played by people who already have this game preordered and love the franchise. If the demo is over 2 hours long, I would expect the ability to create a save game so that when it finally comes out I don't have to replay the beginning level again.
They said that they are making the 360 version of the game after they complete the ps3 version of FF XIII. The 360 version most likely will not effect the ps3 version since they have been developing the game on that platform the entire time.
08-17-2008 #5Warrorar Guest
cant wait to play that game
i hope XIII and Versus XIII are both great.
are there already any information if the demo is also available in europe/usa?

final fantasy 13 is going to be scraped at the edges and going to be nerfed a lot. because it MUST fit within a dvd. go gaybox!

PS3 Rules
Is march 2009 the release date for Japan release or US? Does anyone know if this will be a turn-based RPG or a full out real-time movement RPG game. Whichever it is I know this game is just going to be the best one out there. Even though this will come out for the Xbox, it won't compare to the PS3 capability.
10-06-2008 #9PeRFeCK Guest
2 hours? Awesome! March 2009 is definitely for the PS3 - Japanese version only. Squaresoft has said they wont even START working on the Xbox360 version until after the PS3 - Japanese version is 100% complete and ready to ship. This is why there is no Xbox360 version coming to Japan, they can't launch it at the same time that the PS3 version in Japan will.
Also, why would Square nerf the PS3 system's graphics just because they are porting it to X360? I don't see your logic in that...they have no reason to show favortism and make it look the same on both systems.
I wonder how many discs FF13 will span on X360...if its any more than 4 then we are all doomed
10-07-2008 #10loverboifreak Guest
wow if this demo is more than two hours than that's great. i will get this demo one way or the other

I bought a 2002 Honda Civic and within a few weeks it started overheating. I took it to a mechanic and they fixed the thermostat but advised me to take the car back to the dealer because it was spilling alot of oil from the engine and it would be too costly to repair. I took it back to the dealer and he said he would take it to his mechanic and get it fixed. One month and a half later the engine light starts turning on and the engine is leaking more oil and heating up big time. The dealer knew very well what he was selling. I definitely do not reccommend anyone to buy a vehicle from Juan M. Quintero AKA:Tezoro Used Cars!!

Please join us in strongly disagreeing with the GOVERNOR'S claims of "failure" in our schools. Below is a response letter to Governor Cuomo and New York State Legislators and their email addresses.
You can copy/paste the letter into the body of the email to the Governor and/or NYS Legislator. Also, you can download the letter. PDF version, click here Microsoft Word version, click here
Dear Governor Cuomo and New York State Legislators:
The Lakeland Central School District has some very good news for the Governor and all of you. While the governor may contend that New York schools are "failing," we want everyone to know "Lakeland schools are not failing."
In his 2015 State of the State Speech, the Governor stated that "38% of high school students are college ready." He went on to state that "31% of third to eighth graders are proficient in English and 35% of third to eight graders are proficient in Math."
In speaking of graduation rates, the Governor had this to say: "The state average for graduation is 76%, and in a failing school it is 47%." The Governor added, "When a school fails for three years, a not-for-profit, another school district or a turn-around expert must take over the school and they must create a plan to overhaul dramatically and improve the entire school."
Here is some of the good news. In Lakeland, 99% of our students graduate, 95% of our students attend two and four year colleges and 70% graduate from four year colleges.
While test cut scores set by New York State may indicate that our third to eighth graders are not proficient in English and Math that is not the case in Lakeland. Our validated local assessments, which are statistically reliable and nationally normed, indicate that 81% of Lakeland students in grades three through eight are proficient in English, and 84% are proficient in Math.
Lakeland Copper Beech Middle School has been designated a distinguished New York State "School to Watch" since 2010 with two subsequent re-designations. Recently, Thomas Jefferson Elementary School has been named a "Remarkable School" by the Office of the Westchester County Executive. Van Cortlandtville Elementary School was named a PTA School of Excellence for 2014-2016. Once again, in 2015, two of our four Destination Imagination teams qualified for the World Global Finals. In the past years, we have had more than 150 National Merit Scholarship Finalists, Semifinalists and Commended students. Lakeland's Debate team has won more than 79 awards in competitions throughout the country. District musicians are consistently recognized with All-State designations in chorus, jazz band, and orchestra. In athletics, more than 40 of our 85 sports teams have been designated as scholar-athlete award winners or team grade averages of 90% or better. This year, our field hockey team will compete for its seventh straight state title. More than 100 of our students with disabilities participated in "Pioneer Leagues" and "Backyard Sports" with the help of high school students who volunteer many hours of community service.
Our students go on to numerous prestigious colleges, this past year including American University, Carnegie Mellon, Colgate, Columbia, Cornell, Georgetown, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, MIT, Princeton, and Yale. A district graduate is now the President of Colgate University.
Please join us in strongly disagreeing with the Governor's claims of "failure" in our schools. We implore you to work with your local school districts such as Lakeland to establish a reformed system of public education that is based on reality, common sense, success, and achievement. We have many ideas about how to build an effective working model for curriculum, instruction assessment and evaluation and would appreciate the opportunity to share our ideas with you.

Could be a DB error (at google), a server error (at your site), or any other of dozens of possible reasons.

"I say that a man must be serious with the serious. God alone is worthy of supreme seriousness, but man is made God's plaything, and that is the best part of him. Therefore every man and woman should live life accordingly, and play the noblest games..." -- Plato, The Laws
"I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning." -- James Joyce
