Shyheim : The Greatest Story Never Told
Sobering gangsta tale...
The youngest member of Wu-Tang Clan's extended family has now grown up. As befits a former child star whose life has taken a tragic turn, Shyheim has a story to tell. Recently released from jail, and with both parents currently in upstate New York prisons, his sad tale shows the horrible flipside of all the usual boastful hip-hop gangsta talk. 'The Bottom' is just that – as low as you can go – where, according to Shyheim, the 13th Amendment means felons can be treated like slaves. 'Carry On' and 'Pardon The Noise' also vividly depict a cursed crime-life, the latter bringing home the grimness of life in a cell with a scratchy beat that sounds just like rain.
Shyheim is also lyrically gifted – as the third-person recollection 'His. Story' so clearly proves. All this and he airs Wu-Tang dirty laundry on 'New Producers' and imagines he's woken up in a coffin on the extended hip-hop RIP 'After All These Years'. Listen and learn.

Is going digital for your payments really worth the hassle of changing over? IntegraPay CEO Chris Urry explains some of the benefits that digital payment services offer busy business owners.
If someone had told you 10 years ago that we would be producing invoices on our phones, you would have laughed, especially when we were all working on Blackberries.
Roll forward to 2017 and so much has changed!
With businesses and start-ups all over Australia looking for ways to compete on the world stage, getting paid faster than you were yesterday will always put you in front.
There is no doubt every business needs to embrace the benefits of modern payment technologies into their operation. No matter your size, the solutions on offer are scalable, and so are the benefits.
Quantify the saving
In a recent business payments study completed by IntegraPay, research shows that an average Australian SME will save $15,000 a year by adopting an automated payment system. How's that for a saving?
This figure does not even account for the time saved by the customer and the soft benefit of them enjoying the automated experience of paying your business.
Our research demonstrated that once business payments are automated, there is a significant cost reduction in wages. That is, once a business implemented direct debit, half spent less than 30-minutes per week collecting and chasing payments.
So what would it save you?
Overall, there is a 30 per cent reduction in time spent administrating and chasing money when businesses use an automated solution. Imagine refocusing this time and using it to grow your business instead of badgering customers for money.
Frictionless payment experience
The challenge today is being able to enter payment details easily on small devices, therefore many companies are attempting to eliminate the friction that occurs along the digital path to purchase.
For example, creating an electronic form which authorises future payment to be debited reduces the future friction of redoing a payment over and over.
Easy to use processes can cement a consumer's relationship with a specific business or brand. By increasing the customer satisfaction level with a frictionless payment experience, the customer is less likely to cease the service or switch to a competitor.
Eliminating the consumer's role in the transaction is key to the prosperity of the digital payment type.
The former RBA governor, Glenn Stephens, was right last year when he said both individuals and businesses were demanding greater immediacy and greater accessibility in all facets of their day-to-day activities, in particular payments.
Although the market is being flooded with a variety of solutions, the reality is creating a single integration will drive a more efficient experience and immediacy.
Integrating social platforms with digital payment
Many experts predict integration with social platforms as the key to monetising digital payment assets.
As an example, last year IntegraPay launched an in-video payment system, enabling a purchase while watching a video. This concept was heavily accepted by charities and online retailers who successfully create a faster road to fulfilment – firstly creating demand and then enabling purchase and finally payment in an instant.
The childhood dream of reaching into our TV sets to get what we want is almost a reality. There is no denying the fact that there is a growing consumer appetite for faster fulfilment.
The battle for ownership of the digital payment experience will only be tamed by regulation, which does not seem forthcoming. The banks that ultimately benefit from the ever-increasing digital payment flow are letting the smaller, more nimble players take a front seat.
There is no denying that the pace of payment innovation is accelerating. The explosive speed and constant entrance of innovation have meant the emergence of new products, which will only continue to put pressure on the traditional business model.
While the journey is complex, with many players racing to get the mix right to build customer acceptance, the size of the market is growing.
Keeping it secure
Security of payments is a fundamental way of getting consumers onboard. Investing in communicating the security of the payment channel greatly increases the potential for usage.
Therefore, working with a PCI compliant solution has untold benefits, as it means you can focus on the business you are in and let the payment experts manage credit card details.
Backed by a strong customer appetite for streamlined solutions
It is a great time to be an SME. With many barriers to entering the global market disappearing, it is a race for efficient use of systems.
With money making the world go around, the dollars are at the centre – payments must be collected one time for all of it to work.
Chris Urry is the CEO of payment solutions provider IntegraPay.

Christoph Waltz Actor Bio
Name: Christoph Waltz
Date/Place of Birth: October 4th, 1956; Vienna, Austria
Brief Bio: Christoph Waltz was born into the theatre, as they say, the son of Johannes Waltz, a German stage-builder, and Elisabeth Urbancic, an Austrian costume designer. In his youth, he attended the boarding school Theresianium, and later attended Billrothstrasse. After graduation he became a student at the Max Reinhardt Seminar, the School of Drama at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna, and then moved to New York for the Lee Strasberg Institute. There, he met his first wife Jackie, and moved back to Vienna before finally landing in London.
Waltz worked predominantly in theatre throughout the 80s, regularly commuting from London to Germany for his roles. Over the course of his career, he slowly transitioned into television, taking one-off roles in series and television movies. Despite thirty years of experience, he could not seem to cross over into the realm of English film, though his work in this time period was steady.
As fate would have it, a single role in a Quentin Tarantino film turned him into an international superstar; anyone who has watched Inglorious Basterds (2009) can recognize the charming and ruthlessly cunning character of Hans Landa, the Standartenfuhrer responsible for locating and exterminating Jews in occupied France. Titled "The Jew Hunter" by his peers and prey, Hans made moviegoers sweat in their seats owing to his keen eye for deception, which even the Basterds themselves weren't immune to. The role earned him 27 awards, including the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, the BAFTA Best Supporting Actor Award, the Cannes prix d'interpretation Masculin for 2009, and the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor.
His success carried on with Quentin Tarantino's amusingly violent spaghetti Western-style revenge film, Django Unchained (2012), in which Waltz played the role of Dr. King Schultz, a former dentist turned bounty hunter who helps reunite a freed slave with his wife. Armed with his distinctive accent and his intrinsic jovial charm, Christoph Waltz is a joy to watch in any role, regardless of how amusingly violent it may be.
Roles –
Water for Elephants (2011) – August
The Three Musketeers (2011) – Richelieu
The Zero Theorem (2013) – Qohen Leth

(This story ran Oct. 31, 2014 in Kentucky Roll Call.)Lightning strikes! But it is unlikely that Secretary of State Alison Lundergan Grimes, the Democrats' nominee, can oust Sen. Mitch McConnell on Tuesday. The race for the US Senate is a federal race where philosophy is foremost and people still don't know what Grimes stands for. Voters are wondering if she has a philosophical rudder. If so, what does she believe? What are her inner-soul values?
Candidates in Kentucky can hide their deepest beliefs and still win — if they're running for magistrate and not a federal office. Grimes has raised a lot of money, but has not spent it wisely; her strategy appears to have been to conduct the race like she's running for a local or state office.
She's not the first secretary of state to make that blunder. In 2010, then-Secretary of State Trey Grayson ignored the distinction with embarrassing results. In the Republican primary that year, in the open seat for the US Senate, vacated by Jim Bunning, Grayson lost to Rand Paul in a landslide — 58.8 percent to 35.4 percent — because, after serving six years as secretary of state, and throughout his campaign for the Senate, voters never quite knew what Grayson stood for.
H.L. Mencken (1880-1956), one of America's most famous journalists of the last century, noted that the nation's Capitol "represents more closely [than state and local elections] the inner soul of people." Mencken recognized seemingly that everyone must have something to live for (faith, hope, purpose) as well as something to live on (food, shelter, clothing), and in the realm of government, citizens will always try to send to Washington those who represent their "inner soul."
That standard doesn't apply to candidates running for mayor in a small, rural Kentucky town. Those are races that can be won by promising to keep the weeds cut along the road coming into town.
But farther up the political ladder one climbs, winning depends on philosophy in proportion to the height of the office. On the state level, philosophy first comes into play in General Assembly races. It increases to maybe 50 percent in a governor's race — the other half is rudderless (pleasing the courthouse crowd, redistributing wealth from the state treasury, playing raw and subtle politics).
Going higher still to the office of president, and in races for the US Senate and House, elections become intensely philosophical, as much as 80 percent or even 90 percent, would be my guess. Kentucky is not a red state in federal elections because Republicans are lucky, are better looking, more intelligent or raise more money than the Democrats. Republican are winning federal races because their beliefs are better aligned with what the voters' value in themselves.
This alignment matters more in choosing who we send
to Washington, because Washington is where the action is. The issues and subjects that define us as individuals are debated in Washington — not so much at the state and local levels: Examples are the debates over the boundary lines of free enterprise, fairness, religion, guns, gender issues, abortion and limits on how bad government can get.
Who thinks like you do? That is the question that turns federal elections. Former Congressman Larry Hopkins, R-Lexington, recognized that fact in winning his first term in 1978. The slogan on his billboards was, "He Thinks Like Us." And he went on to serve seven terms.
Power of beliefs
Beliefs are extremely important; they are the protector of every society, and as American writer and poet Marianne Moore (1887-1972) put it, "Belief is even stronger than the struggle to survive." Think of the jihadists but also of American soldiers who have sacrificed their lives for our country.
Grimes picked wrong strategy
Elections are complicated endeavors, and multiple factors make a winning campaign. However, all of the components put together won't work successfully in a federal election without the voters' perception that a candidate's inner self is aligned with theirs.
The voters in Kentucky don't sufficiently know what Alison Lundergan Grimes stands for. She has made a name for herself. But her strategy for winning has been wrong. Consequently, though she has raised a lot of money, she hasn't spent it wisely. Saying you'll fight for women, that you're in favor of jobs and raising the minimum wage, while complaining that your opponent has served too long in Washington — that's not revealing your own inner self; that's hiding it.
Staking out a position on a few selected legislative issues doesn't disclose the character and values embedded in a candidate's inner self. But it's a nice illusion. — by Lowell Reese

Eurich is thrown into a seemingly ill-fated destiny. After learning of his legendary magic, he is convinced that he alone must stop an impending doom, but nothing is ever as it seems. His best friends Jason and Raine try their best to help him save the world, but help isn't what he needs —he needs a way across the barrier.
Despite this fate thrust upon him, Eurich knows what is coming. The world is headed toward Chaos due to a weakening barrier between Earth and a world that has been hidden for millennia.
Our world is about to take a sharp turn for the worse. Extra moons are rising in the sky, and panic is at an all-time high. Worst of all, there are no explanations.
Saving the world begins with a choice —but is humanity worth him risking his own life?
*A copy was provided by Enchanted Book Promotions exchange for a honest review*
My thought
Just looking the cover you can figure what is waiting for you inside the books, with this neon purple and the necklace.
I've ended the book, and I can say that I really like it. It's so interest, and amazing how the author manages to introduce you into the magical world he has created in this novel. Tensei have made an impressive work in his debut novel, in the experience of reading Mana you can connect so strong with the characters through writing that has the book, which describes what is happening in a way that you going imagining it at second, immediately transporting you to the world of Mana's. The best part of this book is that the descriptions do not make heavy reading or boring, in fact, quite the opposite these more easily allow you to immerse yourself in the reading, which for me is totally a plus, since I really do not like much the books that give only vague descriptions of the characters, I prefer those who are well trained like Erich, the protagonist of Mana's.
Another plus is the realism that you can found in it, I know, it's a contradiction is totally what I'm saying, but I really felt it this way, it was just like the connection I have with some books, and actually I'm really happy of being part of this blog tour, because for it I had the opportunity to discover this gorgeous book. If you are one who enjoy with reading with magical details this is your perfect reading.
My rating : 4/5
"I don't really care about them being pretty. I like them just fine, though I think Patricia could be a little taller." Eurich chuckled.
"I see them." Jason stood with his back leaning on the table.
"Boy am I tired," Raine complained, dropping her black garment bag on the table when she approached it.
"Raine made me put back at least ten dresses, she's got really picky taste." Patricia huffed, then sat down.
"I think she was getting back at you for throwing her food away." Eurich got up and turned on the flat panel television that hung from the foundation.
"Let's hope not, I found some really cute ones." Patricia turned toward the TV as soon as Eurich turned it on..
"CNN?" Raine complained again. Everyone that she could see through the glass doors were watching in awe for some reason, the same reaction came from the people who were outside.
"Just moments ago." Raine turned as the newscaster on the television spoke. "A strange occurrence has people questioning about what is happening in the sky. Not only was it seen here, but it was also seen in the Bahamas and across the North Atlantic. It is worldwide and given the short time in which it's risen, scientists cannot even begin to explain what is happening. The appearance of a second moon visible from earth, what does this mean? Are the doomsday prophecies correct? Are aliens finally giving us a final clue? Stay tuned for more."
Author Bio
Although Asher Tensei is relatively young, he has already traveled the world as he has been a military brat since the age of four. He has always wanted to share his creative writing, and it was in Germany that he realized people also really enjoyed reading his stories. Mana was composed shortly after and it instantly got the support of a small but enthused local readership. Few could believe that Asher had written a full length novel during his fifteen minute breaks while working at Burger King. He is very passionate about the fantasy genre and graciously gives thanks to the one series that made him realize that writing high concept YA fantasy was something he wanted to do--The Twilight Saga. He maintains, and frequently updates, his site website.

Bank of Ireland staff delivered almost 200 BizWorld workshops nationwide in 2016. Staff have empowered Primary school children in every county and plan to deliver even more in 2017
BizWorld Ireland partnership with Bank of Ireland has significantly enhanced the delivery of entrepreneurial workshops in primary schools nationwide
- Bank of Ireland has provided over 200 workshops
- Over 150 Bank of Ireland staff members have been trained as tutors
- Equipping this generation of primary school children for the jobs of tomorrow
BizWorld Ireland's partnership with Bank of Ireland began in 2015 and is enabling entrepreneurial workshops to be rolled out to primary schools nationwide. The Bank of Ireland Bizworld workshops, which include a Dragon's Den type competition, inspire and empower children, aged 10-13 (typically 5th class) to learn about money management, critical thinking and enterprise in a fun and creative way.
Since the partnership began 150 Bank of Ireland staff members around the country have been trained as tutors by BizWorld Ireland, enabling them to run 2-day workshops with primary students in their schools. The partnership with Bank of Ireland has significantly enhanced the number of workshops being delivered by BizWorld Ireland. Workshops feature everything from brainstorming to business development and finally a Dragon's Den style pitch of the business. Through Bank of Ireland's involvement, the partnership will deliver 250 workshops to primary school children in this school year.
Speaking about the initiative, Fiona McKeon, CEO of BizWorld Ireland said; "We are delighted to be partnering with Bank of Ireland. Since we first started offering these workshops in 2011 the level of interest from primary schools has grown significantly but we simply did not have the resources and manpower to meet the demand for our workshops.
"Having Bank of Ireland on board is a real game-changer given the Bank's extensive branch network in over 250 locations nationwide. The partnership enables us to deliver workshops on a much greater scale to primary schools around the country as Bank of Ireland staff members commit time, enthusiasm and energy to the initiative. Business is the only subject taught at secondary, which is not taught at primary, so these workshops are a really valuable addition to the primary school offering. As we continue to train more Bank of Ireland tutors, our reach will grow and develop, ensuring that many more primary schools children have an opportunity to partake in the programme. "
Laura Lynch, Head of Youth Banking, Bank of Ireland, commented: "As Ireland's leading bank for students of all ages we are delighted and proud to partner with BizWorld Ireland. In addition to sowing the seeds of enterprise, creativity and money management, our Bank of Ireland BizWorld tutors will facilitate primary school children to learn important skills such as critical thinking, decision making, risk analysis, teamwork, active learning, entrepreneurship and leadership, whilst also having fun.
"Primary schools are a vital part of local neighborhoods. Through our extensive branch network, and our ongoing programme of enterprise towns, our strong presence and connection with communities nationwide makes this partnership a fantastic fit. In close partnership with the BizWorld Ireland team, we will continue to work together to grow the programme equipping this generation of primary school children for the jobs of tomorrow."
Bank of Ireland BizWorld 2-day workshops are free to primary schools and require very little involvement from the class teacher. The responsibility for the start, middle and completion of the workshop lies with the Bank of Ireland trained tutor. The workshop comes to life on day two when a member of the local Bank of Ireland branch and a local business person acts as Dragons in the Den with the class as they pitch their business idea.

I'll admit I've been ordering online more than normal lately, but I couldn't think of anything that should be arriving. It also had my school name on it but was delivered to my house.
So I opened it and got THIS:
As if Halloween isn't scary enough, James Patterson was in my mystery package wearing a pair of mustache glasses.
I won an Advance Copy of his new young adult (?) book "I Funny". WOOHOO! It comes out in December. At this point, I vaguely remembered entering a contest at some point.
I'll be sure to read it and post some kind of review. I enjoy James Patterson mysteries for adults, so I have high hopes for this special surprise!

Social media users have noticed an unusual detail about former President Barack Obama's updated personal Twitter account, and they are right to be suspicious of what it might mean.
Obama's Twitter profile bio says "Dad, husband, President, citizen." Short and sweet, but there might be more to it.
Most former presidents do retain the title for life, but they also use the word "former" when referencing themselves, or they refer to themselves by number (Obama is the 44th president) to accurately describe their relation to the office. It appears as though Obama is in denial.
Many people challenged the former president:
Check out Mr. Obama Twitter bio. He thinks he's still the President, not ex, not former, P R E S I D E N T Wow!#TrumpDerangementSyndrome pic.twitter.com/g6oGxCJ9Hh
— ChristieC733™ 🏛🇺🇸 (@ChristieC733) February 28, 2017
Others had a little fun, pointing out Obama's narcissistic tendencies.
@ChristieC733 He will NEVER STOP CELEBRATING HIS FAVORITE PERSON EVER! Delusions Of Grandeur! @BarackObama pic.twitter.com/bjw8qojzBO
— Vickie (@tweetvickie) February 28, 2017
Some people pointed out that Obama had other plans in mind when he updated his profile, suggesting he will be hard at work plotting against President Donald Trump.
@ChristieC733 @RealKyleMorris He is the shadow president.
— Mike England (@mike03car) February 28, 2017
Some thought he intended to be a sort of professional rebel:
@ChristieC733 @tamaraleighllc He is the Prez of the Resistance…..
— Charles_GTA (@GtaThoughts) February 28, 2017
It's not far-fetched to think that this subtle change could mean that Obama isn't finished with his work in Washington.
He continues to reside in Washington while his daughter completes high school, and there are reports that he's hard at work organizing for action. The former president has reportedly set up a command post in Washington where he can work behind the scenes and solicit activists to work against President Donald Trump at every opportunity.
Obama's Twitter profile included a link to the Obama Foundation, where the former president was quoted as saying he "won't stop." The foundation's focus is supposedly to work on developing the next generation of citizens.
For Obama, this means the next generation of agitators.
Obama's Twitter account suggests that he is still a threat to America and the things we hold dear. While he would still like to hang on to the title of president, at least we can rest easy in the knowledge that he isn't in the White House any longer.

It's time for a new challenge at The Heart Desires!! It's been so fun to see how everyone has been inspired by the challenges so far- hope you can play along with us again for Challenge #10!
Here is the inspiration:
Isn't it amazing?
Here's my take:
I know everyone is shocked that I used the Gina Marie Scalloped Stitched Nested Rectangle Dies, as well as the Gina Marie Scalloped Circle Frames Dies
I thought the Concord & 9th Map Love was the perfect set for this challenge! I've used Delicata golden glitz ink and heat embossed it gold on vellum paper. I stamped the earth image on the card base below. A few sequins finish it off!
You've got all month to join us!

Pha Lina/Phnom Penh Post
Seng Chenda (centre) enters the Appeal Court in Phnom Penh in September 2011.
Senior Minister Sun Chanthol has lodged a criminal complaint with Phnom Penh Municipal Court against his father-in-law, his brother-in-law and wife, and his father-in-law's stepdaughter for masterminding a plot to rape and murder his wife and nine-year-old daughter in 2010, government lawyers said yesterday.
The criminal complaint is the latest twist in the high-profile dispute amongst prominent businessman Okhna Khaou Chuly's family.
"My client, Sun Chanthol, has directly submitted his criminal lawsuit against [his in-laws] to the Phnom Penh Municipal Court," lawyer Pal Chandara told the Post by telephone yesterday. "He has sued them for masterminding the attempted murders and rapes of his wife and his nine-year-old-daughter in 2010."
Pal Chandara said the complaint had been filed on December 16.
In 2011, Khaou Chuly's second wife, Seng Chenda, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the 2010 attempted murder of Khaou Chuly's daughter from his first marriage, Lok Chumteav Sun Sotha. Sun
Sotha later married senior Minister Sun Chanthol.
During Seng Chenda's appeal hearing in September last year, her personal aide, who was also sentenced to 18 years in prison for her part in the murder plot, claimed that she had overheard discussions between Khaou Chuly and his son, Khaou Phallabot, about a plot to murder Sun Sotha.
"Sun Chanthol has since obtained much evidence including recordings of their conversations relating to their plot to murder and rape his wife and daughter," Pal Chandara said, adding that his client had already submitted his cache of evidence to the court and anticipated the trial of the four suspects to begin soon.
"He will come to defend his lawsuit and show his strong evidence and proof at court," Pal Chandara said. "He will also attend the trial to talk face to face with the accused when they are tried."
Lim Vanna, Khaou Chuly and Khaou Phallabot's defence lawyer, said he had only received his clients' instruction for defence recently, so he could not comment about their cases.
Khaou Chuly, Khaou Phallabot and his wife Lay Hourng, and Seng Chenda's daughter Huy Sok Leap could not be contacted for comment yesterday. Ek Chheng Huoth, a deputy prosecutor for Phnom Penh Municipal Court, who has held this criminal case, also could not be reached for comments.

Father daughter wedding songs came to my mind recently when I heard the song "Brown Eyed Girl" on an internet radio station. This is the song that I danced with my daughter at my wedding in May of 2006. My daughter and I both looked forward to this dance very much, and it was wonderful (yes, that's the real picture there). I guess it goes to show that you should choose your weddings songs carefully, because they will remind you of that day every time you hear them, probably forever. I decided to come up with a list of the 10 best father daughter wedding songs. Okay, so this list might be a little bit biased, but you get the big picture.
Here's my list –
1. Brown Eyed Girl – Van Morrison
2. My Girl – Temptations
3. The Way You Look Tonight – Frank Sinatra
4. Butterfly Kisses – Bob Carlisle
5. What A Wonderful World – Louie Armstrong
6. Have I Told You Lately – Rod Stewart
7. Wonderful Tonight – Eric Clapton
8. Wind Beneath My Wings – Bette Midler
9. Isn't She Lovely – Stevie Wonder
10. Hero – Mariah Carey

WE ALL have this longing to get in a van and just drive away. So many people I have talked to dream of this, like it's a fairy tale that will never happen. I think of it differently. People dream of having mansions, the newest car on the market or the most expensive watch. It's a hard thing to accomplish, and it probably won't happen. On the other hand, living the Vanlife is super attainable, and a lot more freeing and affordable than having those possessions will ever be. Find out how you can achieve this dream of yours in my Complete Guide to Buying a Van in New Zealand below.
Where do I look for a van?
When looking for a van in New Zealand, whether it be a campervan or a normal van that you'd want to convert, all answer below are for both options.
- Look in the big cities – Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch (you're going to have more luck in Auckland)
- There is Backpacker Car World and Auckland City Car Fair in Auckland
- Be sure to check the newspaper listings in each city
- Hostels also have listings
- 3 Extremely useful websites when looking for vans!
- Backpacker Board
- Trade Me NZ (this is where I found mine)
- Backpacker Van Facebook Group
How much should I spend on a van?
Obviously the more expensive the van is the better/newer it's going to be. But since were travelers and we've got to keep our budget cheap we'll deal with the cheaper vans right! I'd probably suggest anything around $3,000 NZD – $5,000 NZD. If you're looking at vans cheaper than 3K, it's going to be a gamble. Realistically you're spending 3K on a van, and you'll use it for a year and perhaps sell it for $2500, which means you only spent $500 on van-rent. Personally, I spent $5,500 NZD on my van, because it was literally perfect and had everything I needed. Advice from Beanies&Bikinis on buying a van, save up a bit more money than you intended. You'll have a much better experience in a van you're happier with!
How do I get it inspected and how much does it cost?
There are companies such as AA where you can bring the van you're looking at buying and do a Pre Purchase Inspection. It costs about $170 NZD and I'd highly suggest doing this! This way you're completely sure that the people selling the van to you aren't trying to scam you, and that you're not going to have problems in the future. If you're not in the mood to pay this much, try calling a local mechanic shop and see what their price is!
Pre Purchase Checklist
✓ Warrant of Fitness
A WOF as kiwis would call it, is a test to make sure the vehicle is road worthy. Most vehicles get a WOF every year, but many of the van's you're going to look at buying are going to be older. Which means they need a WOF every 6 months. The key is to look for a van that has recently had a WOF so you won't have to deal with it right away. Sometimes getting a WOF can be pretty expensive if they find things that need some fixing!
✓ Warrant of Electrical Fitness
A WOEF is similar to a WOF. It's just a warrant to make sure the electrical in campervans was built to code. There's going to be a little sticker on the window about this. There's a date that it expires and you'll just have to do a google search for a NZCMA near you. This is probably something you're not going to encounter, because the warrant lasts for quite some time, but it's always good to know!
✓ Registration or REGO
Just like in your home town, you've got to register your vehicle. All this grown up stuff is just so much fun isn't it! The van is going to have a sticker in the front windscreen saying when the registration is good until. If the registration expires a month after purchasing your van, it's not as big of a deal as the WOF. All you'll have to do is just spend a bit of money ($170 for 6 months, and $210 for 12 months) and then you're good to go. Just make sure you're always up to date with the WOF! I got a scare and didn't realize mine was expired, so I rushed to a postal office.
✓ Transfer of Ownership
Head to the post office and grab yourself an orange transfer of ownership form. You and your van seller will have to fill it out and hand it in. It'll cost $9 NZD to put the van in your name, and then you're all set! Don't forget to do this, or else the guy who sold you the van has all your money, and still owns the van, not a good thing!
✓ Diesel Road Tax
If you've been blessed with a diesel van, you have the privilege of having to pay road tax! Yippee! I mean diesel is cheaper than petrol, but it's just a hassle having to keep up on yet another thing! You've got to pre-pay for your km's with a diesel. My tip is to buy 5,000 km so you don't have to think about it for a while. It's approx. $70 NZD per 1,000 km. Yes it totally sucks, but in the long run, it actually works out cheaper than petrol – especially when petrol is at $2.00 a litre!!
** All of the things I just talked about can be purchased/updated etc., at any postal office in New Zealand **
✓ Insurance
Insurance is actually not mandatory in New Zealand. Mind you, considering I have a whole crappy insurance story to share in another blog post, I'd suggest getting Insurance. And I'd suggest getting Comprehensive Insurance and not Third Party. It's pretty cheap, something like $50 NZD a month, and well worth it!
✓ Self Containment Certificate
If you have a van that is self-contained, amazing! If you've purchased a "normal mom van", you're probably not going to have a self-containment certificate because there is a checklist of things modifications that must be done to your van. So this little tab of information is pretty much for the people who would like to convert their mom van into a self-contained van.
I've got a small recap of things you'll have to do, but click here to find out more information. To be a self-contained van, it needs to be equipped with:
- Fresh water supply
- A fitted sink
- Toilet
- Holding tank (grey water)
- An evacuation hose connected to a sealed portable tank
- A rubbish bin with lid
✓ What supplies does the van come with?
Ideally you'll want the van to come with a cooker, pots, pans, utensils, bowls etc. I'm a bit spoiled because I've got a stove, fridge, sink and toilet so I can fully live inside. Think of your van as a house, and as you're looking through it ask yourself questions. Is there a mattress and blankets? How does the cooker run, propane? Where can we wash dishes? Where will all my clothes go? Where will the food go? Where will we charge our electronics? There's a place for everything but you'll just have to be the judge of if the van will be the right fit for you.
✓ Does the van need fixing up?
Maybe it just needs a new battery and you'll be able to charge your items. That's a simple fix. The Pre-Purchase Checkup is a good idea in this situation, just so you know what repairs will be coming in the near future.
✓ Do you have the Cash available now?
IMPORTANT Have all your money already transferred to NZ bank account or have it in cash. The worst thing you can do – which is what happened to me – is you're ready to hand over the money, and you realize that you can't get it out. There is a daily limit on how much you can take out. I'd suggest to take it out days in advanced or bring it with you in cash to NZ. It's a tricky one, because bank transfers take too much time and sometimes travelers are ready to leave and need to sell their van as soon as possible. Or put it in your PayPal account and do a transfer through there.
The reason why this is a good idea is because most travelers selling their van are looking to sell it right away. They are onto their next travels and want to get this thing sold. So the best idea is for you to have your cash handy so you can call dibs on the van first!
Checklist Recap

You're welcome! I wish I had a checklist like this when I was looking for a van. All the information I found was scattered in various websites and I had to put it all together and figure it out. So here's an easy checklist when buying a van in New Zealand. Please comment below if I forgot something, or if you've got a tip that really helped you out! We are all here to help each other in life and have a great Vanlife experience!
Cheers to the Vanlife – You are going to have an AMAZING adventure.

A recent essay on TIME magazine's website argues that schools are becoming "hostile environments for young boys." In the aftermath of school violence in places including Newtown, Connecticut, many schools have adopted zero tolerance policies related to firearms, but those rules are sometimes interpreted very strictly, with boys as young as seven being suspended for pretending to "shoot" bad guys with pencils, or for throwing imaginary hand grenades. As a result, writer Christina Hoff Sommers worries that schools are no longer letting boys engage in the action-oriented, good-guys-versus-bad-guys play that she says comes naturally to them.
Across the country, schools are policing and punishing the distinctive, assertive sociability of boys. Many much-loved games have vanished from school playgrounds. At some schools, tug of war has been replaced with "tug of peace." Since the 1990s, elimination games like dodgeball, red rover and tag have been under a cloud—too damaging to self-esteem and too violent, say certain experts. Young boys, with few exceptions, love action narratives. These usually involve heroes, bad guys, rescues and shoot-ups. As boys' play proceeds, plots become more elaborate and the boys more transfixed. When researchers ask boys why they do it, the standard reply is, "Because it's fun."
According to at least one study, such play rarely escalates into real aggression—only about 1% of the time. But when two researchers, Mary Ellin Logue and Hattie Harvey, surveyed classroom practices of 98 teachers of 4-year-olds, they found that this style of play was the least tolerated. Nearly half of teachers stopped or redirected boys' dramatic play daily or several times a week—whereas less than a third reported stopping or redirecting girls' dramatic play weekly.
Play is a critical basis for learning. And boys' heroic play is no exception. Logue and Harvey found that "bad guy" play improved children's conversation and imaginative writing. Such play, say the authors, also builds moral imagination, social competence and imparts critical lessons about personal limits and self-restraint. Logue and Harvey worry that the growing intolerance for boys' action-narrative-play choices may be undermining their early language development and weakening their attachment to school.
Readers, what do you think? Is your child's school a boy-friendly environment?

new york - i know my dear readers....you never ask, but boy do i love to tell. i just wanted to take a minute to say thank you - sincerely - for reading my blog. many of you run blogs of your own or are writers yourselves so you know that no matter how much, or how little, i post it is still a very time intensive endeavor. it feels so good to know that day after day hundreds of you are logging on to hear what lil' old me has to say and are spreading the word about this here report...i am finally all settled in new york (though i'll be returning to london in september) and promise to continue blogging regularly until i have to go back to europe (traveling makes me very dodgy with my daily posts.) one way i can guarantee this: I JUST GOT MY FIRST APARTMENT in n.y.c. blaynistas! i am super excited. please stay tuned for pics. this means i won't be lugging my lil laptop all over the city to blog for you guys, i'll be doing it from the comfort of my very own space. i'm still blogging for america online style dash (www.styledash.com) paper magazine (www.papermag.com) and the huffington post (www.huffingtonpost.com) so be sure to check those sites regularly to view my work. and finally i am trying my hand at a beauty blog. i love beauty, but don't want to shift the focus of this blog by focusing too much on it here - so i launched a new one: blay beauty report. it's in it's early stages so don't judge too much. but check it out and let me know your thoughts. again, thanks so much for being my reader. you are a smart little cookie for picking me as your blogger. x, zb

I am a writer, like you, and I have way too many blogs at the moment. So I am just passing along one blog idea that might help you save time and preserve your sanity. It might be better to -- instead of making a whole different beauty blog -- create a special regular beauty feature on here like "Face and Body Friday" or something where you could just do a weekly rundown of the best beauty stuff. I am sure the regular Zandile Report readers would enjoy it and you wouldn't have to juggle a whole 'nuther blog.
Anyway, just my two cents. ;)

When doing experiments there are several errors that we need to consider. For example the error when taking reading from instruments and also the influence from the outer surroundings. This is true for all scientific investigations. Even machines have errors! and they do need to be calibrated consistently!
Error is the difference between the measured value and the real or actual value. (The difference in reading is known as the error)
Two main types of error are systematic error and random error.
Systematic error occurs when there is an error when reading the scale that is being used. It is caused by the surroundings, the instrument itself (scale may not be uniform or even blurred due to wear and tear) and of course the observer error.
Systematic error results in the measurement or reading being consistently over the actual value OR consistently smaller than the actual value.
There are several possible causes of systematic error:
One of the most common error is the Zero Error. Zero Error is caused if the reading shown is Not zero when the true value is actually zero. This is most probably caused by a flaw in the instrument for example when using a ruler that has lost its zero scale due to wear and tear hence causing an error in the measurement of length.
Wrong assumptions may also cause error, for example if you assume that water boils at 100 degree celcius but actually its boiling point is higher if there are impurities in it. (Pure water boils at 100 degree celcius)
There is also a possibility to create error when there is a lag of reaction time. For example in a sports day, when measuring a 100 m running time using a stopwatch. The observer may not press the stop button exactly when the foot of the runner touches the finishing line.
Sometimes, as I have mentioned, instruments that are not properly calibrated could also cause error and this has to be put in consideration when writing a report or when there is an anomaly in reading.
Another type of error that needs to be considered is Random Error.
Random error is caused by the observer who reads the measuring instrument. Just like the systematic error, there can exist positive or negative error. Positive error is when the reading is bigger than the real value and negative error is when the reading is smaller than the real value.
One of the ways to reduce random error is to take several readings for a measurement and then taking the average reading to be analysed.
There are several examples of random error.
Miscounting numbers during observation or change in the surrounding due to temperature, wind, light, exposure to chemicals or impurities may cause error. Sometimes the observer may read the scale wrongly (as in the case of reading a scale in on a beaker or ruler (parallax error). Parallax error occurs when a reading is taken from an unsuitable position relative to the scale.
Ways to reduce error
Magnifying glass to enhance the visual of scale on the instrument.
Avoiding parallax error by positioning the instrument (meter rule) properly on the table with the eyes perpendicular to the scale. This also applies when reading other instruments. Parallax error can also be reduced by putting a strip of mirror next to the scale (for example in ammeter), the eye must be positioned so that the image formed on the mirror is fully covered by the indicator hand of the ammeter.
Some instruments can be adjusted to eliminate zero error. For example when using an ammeter, there is an adjuster to set the indicator to zero before making any measurement.
In the case of a ruler, measurement can be carried out starting from the next clear scale for example if scale 0.0cm is blurred, we can start measuring the length from 2.0cm, of course taking the difference of value in consideration when recording the final reading.

Regional banks: quality, standardised KYC documentation your correspondents demand
You do business with many banks, but you look to a few large correspondents for global reach. They must comply with stringent KYC requirements and transparency about your operations. The KYC Registry helps you respond with high-quality, validated data all your correspondents can rely on. Simply and cost-effectively.
KYC enquiries are increasing
Correspondent banking everywhere is under scrutiny, due to reducing margins and increasing regulatory obligations.
For smaller local and regional banks, maintaining and growing your international business may depend on a handful of key relationships with larger correspondents, who are re-evaluating relationships and de-risking in the face of stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) and anti-money laundering obligations and mounting costs incurred as part of their due diligence programmes.
The result: increasing due diligence requests for detailed information about your operations and counterparties. Many bilateral exchanges on different questions, in different formats, can quickly cause costs and workloads to escalate, put pressure on limited resources and reduce the timeliness and quality of responses.
When effective KYC due diligence is an entry requirement for your business, you need a better way to respond.
Solution: The KYC Registry
We have it. The KYC Registry is a secure, online platform where you can upload a set of standardised KYC documentation and choose to share it with your selected correspondents and counterparties.
We've developed the Registry in collaboration with the industry and worked with the world's largest correspondent banks to define a standard set of KYC data and document specifications to cover the requirements of different jurisdictions. So you and your correspondents can be sure you're meeting a global best practice standard for KYC compliance.
The KYC Registry also helps you to maintain your data efficiently. When you upload your data we validate it and send alerts when something changes or needs updating.
There's no charge for uploading, updating and sharing your data, and you always retain ownership and full control over who you choose to share it with.
You can also ask correspondents to share their data with you via the Registry. Whenever you use data for one of your correspondents, you pay a single fee– and can then access that data as many times as you need.
SWIFT Traffic Profile
Your correspondents may also require additional transparency in order to assess potential risks and "nested activity" in your downstream business with other counterparties (so-called Know Your Customer's Customer requests.)
To provide this transparency and reassurance about your operations, you can subscribe to the SWIFT Traffic Profile – a unique, tailored report of your aggregated, global traffic data. You can then share this report with your correspondents via the Registry.
The KYC Registry and SWIFT Traffic Profile make it easy for local and regional banks to meet international best practice for KYC due diligence.
With The KYC Registry and SWIFT Traffic Profile, you only share your data once to respond comprehensively and efficiently, enhancing your reputation and safeguarding your business.

It's like using your fingers to type on the keyboard without having to use your eyes to look at the keys. How long are you able to keep your primary consciousness directed to your 3rd eye socket while using your carnal eyes to still monitor the world around you? If you are unable to direct your primary attention to your 3rd eye socket while using your carnal eyes to continue just monitoring the things happening around you, I encourage you to isolate yourself to a technology deprived world and begin dedicating time to internal 3rd Eye worshipi.e. 3rd eye meditation – focusing the streams of vision from your carnal eyes to one single point of vision and then focusing that singular line of vision into to the 3rd eye chamber & eventually directly into the socket or seat where it is actually suppose to see. For theDominant Gene Eumela-nated Beings(DGEB), the immediate result is the pulling of all the sun i.e. Ra's atmospheric energies (light) into your soul. Restrict yourself to small periods of time whereby you time your ability to focus your 3rd eye into the seat within it's chamber with the counting of your relaxed breathing.
Remembering that 72 relaxed breaths equate to 3 minutes, see how long you can maintain focus of your primary consciousness to room it is suppose to always be in & the chair wherein it is suppose to be seated. As a DGEB you'll want to reserve time to practice this until you are able to maintain your primary consciousness' focus to the window it is meant to look through while (ultimately) using your vision of your carnal eyes to continue monitoring the things going on around you. Another result for DGEB is your gene's immediate recognition of the entrance of supreme light into your soul and the immediate activation of you now being able to project that same and very light from within you.

Caron Butler scored 10 of his 21 in the second half as the Wizards rallied from a 17-point third-quarter deficit.
Washington 104, Seattle 99
SEATTLE, March 26 (AP) -- At this point of the season, when the weary Washington Wizards are pushing for one of the final Eastern Conference playoff spots, they can be thankful for Roger Mason.
Mason, averaging 8.6 points and 21 minutes a game, came off the bench to pump in five 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, leading the Wizards to a 104-99 victory over the Seattle Supersonics on Wednesday night.
The Wizards (37-34) remained a half-game ahead of Philadelphia for sixth place in the East. The Sixers beat Chicago 121-99.
"Roger Mason really bailed us out tonight," Washington coach Eddie Jordan said.
Mason matched his career high with six 3-pointers, and Caron Butler had 21 points. He's averaging 27.8 points in his last seven games against the Sonics.
Kevin Durant scored 32 points for the Sonics. Damien Wilkins and Jeff Green each contributed 13 points, while Nick Collison matched his career high with 21 rebounds.
Seattle (17-55), which beat Portland on Monday, has not won consecutive games since winning a season-high three in a row Jan. 29-Feb. 2.
Washington, still without Gilbert Arenas, recovering from offseason knee surgery, was playing the second of back-to-back games to begin this five-game West Coast trip. The Wizards lost listlessly to Portland on Tuesday, 102-82.
"That's been my role all year," Mason said. "When guys have been out, I've been able to step up. Tonight was no different. Whether it was back-to-back games or not, we had a 17-point deficit in the third quarter. We needed energy off the bench."
The Sonics grabbed the momentum over the final 2 minutes of the first half, scoring the final eight points, six by Durant. That carried over into the third quarter, as they opened with a 17-6 run for a 73-56 lead with 5:47 left.
Coming out of a timeout, Brendan Haywood's putback basket started a 10-0 run to begin the Wizards' comeback.
Mason hit a 25-footer to open the fourth quarter as the Wizards chipped away. Mason's 3 with 8:25 left gave the Wizards their first second-half lead, 84-83. By the time he hit his fourth 3-pointer, the Wizards had a 95-89 lead.
"Every team goes on a run, but he (Mason) was phenomenal," Durant said. "Once he got hot, they took off from there."
The young Sonics, with three solid quarters, were unable to find Mason through the screens down the stretch.
"We played a lot of good minutes to put ourselves in position to win the game," Sonics coach P.J. Carlesimo said. "They're a good team. They're not just going to go away.
"We couldn't guard Roger. We couldn't guard Caron. And we had trouble guarding Darius (Songaila)."
Reserve Darius Songaila scored 10 points, eight in the final period.
Antawn Jamison, averaging a team-high 21.6 points, has struggled on back-to-back nights. He scored just nine points on 3-for-13 shooting Tuesday at Portland. He was better against the Sonics, hitting 6 of 17 attempts. Eight of his points came in the final period.
Wilkins hit a pair of quick baskets to open the second quarter and give the Sonics the energy they needed. By the 9:42 mark, his two free throws gave the Sonics their first lead, 33-31.
Collison had perhaps his best career half on the boards, collecting 15 rebounds. No other Sonic had more than four.
Notes: Carlesimo said before the game that "there is not one iota of doubt" who he believes is the NBA's Rookie of the Year: Durant. The league's overall No. 2 pick leads the Sonics and all rookies in scoring at 19.6 per game. ... This was the second of five straight games for the Wizards against Western Conference teams. They continue their road trip against Sacramento on Friday, the Pacific Division-leading Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday and Northwest Division-leading Utah on Monday.

Merkel rebuffs pleas on eve of summit
June 27 - Just ahead of a crucial European summit which could determine the future of the euro zone, EU leaders are more openly divided on what to do than at any time since the crisis began, with Germany brushing aside Spain and Italy's calls to help lower their borrowing costs. Joanna Partridge reports.
A plea from the Spanish government as one of the most crucial European summits approaches. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy will ask European leaders to stabilise the financial markets. SOUNDBITE: SPANISH PRIME MINISTER MARIANO RAJOY, SAYING (Spanish): "We can't keep funding ourselves at the current funding prices for long. There are many institutions, and also financial institutions, which have no access to the financial markets. It's happening in Spain, in Italy and in other countries." Spain's still under market pressure despite requesting a bailout for its banks. And investors are increasingly concerned the summit won't achieve much. European leaders seem more divided than ever over how to proceed and political tensions are rising. German Chancellor Angela Merkel told parliament that paymaster Germany's strength isn't unlimited. (SOUNDBITE) (German) GERMAN CHANCELLOR, ANGELA MERKEL, SAYING: "I am not under any illusions, I expect controversial discussions in Brussels and once more, all eyes -- or at least a lot of eyes -- will be focused on Germany." France, Italy and Spain are in favour of issuing joint euro zone bonds. Merkel tried to bury the idea once and for all on Tuesday, saying Europe wouldn't share total debt liability "as long as I live". Nick Parsons from National Australia Bank can see why. SOUNDBITE: Nick Parsons, Head of Markets Strategy, National Australia Bank, saying (English): "The analogy I would use here is that between allowing someone to use your credit card and allowing them to use a prepaid card for spending. And I think what Miss Merkel is seeking actively to avoid is giving Germany's credit rating to someone else to do what they will with." Germany does however seem ready to move towards using euro zone rescue funds more flexibly to help banks - and calm investors. Angus Campbell from Capital Spreads expects some kind of compromise. SOUNDBITE: Angus Campbell, Head of Market Analysis, Capital Spreads, saying (English): "Germany obviously is having serious pressure put upon it by all its European counterparts. People realise that Germany has obviously benefited substantially from the single currency over the years and now it is time for them to at least provide some kind of backstop." But Germany does not seem to want to move any further. Europe's leaders appear united in their attempt to move towards closer fiscal and banking union. But many fear the crisis could spin out of control long before union is achieved. Joanna Partridge, Reuters

If you want to help with this project, but aren't sure exactly what to do, here's a suggestion:
You can send a letter yourself to the SRV (Socialist Republic of Vietnam) Embassy in Washington (or to their consulate in San Francisco or to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, HCMC) with a reference to this page (http://www.vietvet.org/plaquepage.htm) and ask them why the SRV refuses to return the plaque and/or simply demand its return.
The more attention we can give this, and the more contacts that are made, the stronger the diplomatic case for demanding the return of the plaque to the American Embassy.
Thanks in advance for your help.
The address of the Vietnamese Embassy is:
Embassy of Vietnam
1233 20th Street NW
Suite 400
Washington DC 20036
Fax 202-861-0917
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The address of the Vietnamese Consulate is:
Consulate of Vietnam
1700 California Street
Suite 430
San Francisco CA 94109
email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Another Agency in Ho Chi Minh City that could be helpful to this effort might be:
Deputy Director
Foreign Affairs Office Ho Chi Minh City
6 Alexandre de Rhodes, Dist 1
Ho Chi Minh City
Fax 84 8 8251436
Here is a sample demand that can be cut and pasted into an email to the Vietnam Ambassador and/or the Vietnam Consulate-General:
Mr. Ambassador,
I am writing you regarding the memorial plaque that was taken from
the US Embassy Saigon by the Vietnamese and which has been recently
located in a Vietnamese museum.
The full details of this situation can be found on the web site
As a veteran of the Vietnam War and as an American citizen, I
demand the return of this American property at the earliest possible time.
(your signature/name/contact information)
Please note: If you want the web site to be "clickable" in the email you send, you will need to include the appropriate HTML tags. If you use your browser to View the Page Source, the entire email wording, including the HTML tags, can be cut and pasted from there.
ALSO, you don't have to be a Vietnam Veteran to voice your outrage to the Vietnamese about the status of the plaque(s). You just
have to be inclined to speak up about how you feel. I sincerely invite you to do so.

The Autumn Birds
"I made this pendant using polymer and image transfer techniques. The green bird pendant was complemented by svarowski rounds, dark rust coral beads and pewter ovals. I also added glass discs that I wanted to lay flat, so I wire wrapped those with spirals, and added two night blue seed bead bird nests. The toggle clasp reads "peace begins with a smile"."
