Personalized Medicine (PM) Connective Announces Achievement of Several Milestones
May 11, 2017 07:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time
PARSIPPANY, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Personalized Medicine (PM) Connective announced the achievement of several milestones today. Jeff Waldron, Executive Director of the PM Connective, highlighted the developments, which include creating a new leadership panel, securing a second round of funding, and increasing brand awareness.
At the PM Connective's Strategic Task Force Meeting in March, Waldron announced the formation of an Advisory Panel for the PM Connective to be comprised of senior ambassadors to help open doors and represent the organization externally. Peter Keeling, CEO of Diaceutics and Chairman of the PM Connective's Board said, "We are pleased to announce that Peter Kapitein has agreed to serve as Chairman of our new Advisory Panel. Peter is the inspirational founder and leader of Inspire2Live, a Netherlands–based patient advocacy organization working to inspire patients, clinicians, and researchers to work together to get cancer under control by 2021 and to help people lead healthy lives in harmony with cancer. He will be recruiting 3-4 additional visionaries to join him on the Advisory Panel.
Kapitein described his passion that "personalized medicine has the capacity to transform healthcare, but we must always maintain the patient-centric focus . . . because our true success will be measured in health outcomes and the quality of life for patients and their families."
Concurrent with the formation of the Advisory Panel, Waldron also announced that the PM Connective just received funding from Cardinal Health. Cardinal Health, a global, integrated healthcare services and products company, provides customized solutions for hospital systems, pharmacies, ambulatory surgery centers, clinical laboratories and physician offices worldwide, and ranks among the top 25 on the Fortune 500. They join Diaceutics as the inaugural funders of the PM Connective.
Tiffany Olson, President of Nuclear Pharmacy Services (NPS) at Cardinal Health and a PM Connective Task Force member, sponsored the funding. She explained, "Personalized Medicine has been talked about for decades, but it is unlikely to deliver on its original promise without rethinking how to deliver radical change. Therefore, the PM Connective's disease-specific approach, combined with bringing together the silos of healthcare, will model that radical change, clinically and economically."
Following on the heels of these two milestones, the just released March/April issue of the Journal of Precision Medicine features a pair of articles on the PM Connective . . . one introducing the background and mission and the second summarizing results from the initial workshops. Waldron emphasized, "These two articles in the Journal of PM highlight the progress the PM Connective has made through our first two melanoma workshops hosted by the Rutgers Cancer Institute. These daylong sessions featured collaborators from the major healthcare silos that collectively generated 19 key issues and melanoma interventions to be quantified in our proprietary valuation framework. We will define the benefits in both health outcomes and economic terms not only across all of the silos in aggregate . . . but also for each individual silo to ensure that our model for personalized medicine doesn't disadvantage any stakeholder."
This culminates a partnership with the Journal of PM that began last August when Waldron co-led a Roundtable on Overcoming Obstacles to Personalized Medicine at the Journal's Precision Medicine Leaders' Summit in San Diego along with Katie Johansen Taber, VP of PM for the AMA. The PM Connective will be participating in this Summit again on August 21-24 in San Diego.
Finally, in mid-February, the PM Connective attended the Melanoma Research Alliance Scientific Retreat in Washington . . . a premier melanoma gathering of key leaders from major academic, research, clinical, industry, and patient advocacy groups. At the pre-Retreat session for patient advocates and foundations, Jeff introduced the PM Connective and its unique mission. He explained "We are seeking to become integrators in personalized medicine starting with melanoma, which is highly curable if diagnosed and treated early. Our preliminary data shows prompt diagnosis and first-line treatment has the power to transform patient outcomes and dramatically lower healthcare costs as a result."
About the Personalized (PM) Medicine Connective
The PM Connective is a 501(c)(6) not-for-profit organization registered in New Jersey. Two hundred healthcare experts representing most major stakeholder groups conceived it in 2015. They convened in Dublin and set aside their competitive agendas to search for an answer to the question "how can we advance personalized medicine?" The consensus felt that disconnected stakeholders . . . each in their own silo . . . was restraining PM from achieving its potential. Thus, the PM Connective was launched as an unbiased facilitator to drive collaboration and integration across all healthcare industry silos. The founders felt it should be focused at the disease-specific level in order to produce a more implementable solution. After significant research, it was decided to begin with metastatic melanoma and to design a PM model with a corresponding valuation framework to prove the clinical and economic benefits of personalized healthcare.

Ha ha. I see what you did with that!
JEEEEEEEZ, Nationals new Rangitata hopeful Megan Hands being interviewed on radio said "Im looking forward to having those conversations" she's just another cloned ,standard parliamentary seat warmer.
She should get together with Simeon Brown and have a couple of children ,the kids wouldn't have to grow into being gay beta male soy boys they'd be born that way FFS.

I agree with Antifa – on one thing
I hate to say it, but I think I agree with the psychotic, violent thugs in Antifa. But only on one thing!
I think we do need a revolution, I think democracy has been irrevocably broken.
The nomination of candidates like Megan Hands (by very undemocratic 'grace and favour' processes – internal only to the party faithful who carry out some arcane ritual or other to divine who the political gods should favour) shows why. For a long time now we've only had choices between politically aligned clones who offer policy choices that are to all intents and purposes identically unrepresentative.
And it seems to be a worldwide problem. In the UK – despite running on an anti-immigration ticket and promising to the hard working Labour heartlands that they'd defend their jobs – it looks like Boris is going to sign up to the UN migration pact. How can these people live with themselves? Thank goodness that Farage is calling them on their lies.
Anyway – in a world where it seems that all political parties are helter-skelter committed to supporting globalist policies (even to the extent of banning a life-saving drug and consigning some elderly to Covid death – just to perpetuate the scamdemic) and destroying our national cultural fabric – we need a different option. Sure Trump is an anomaly, but there'll never be another Trump in the USA after he's gone. It'll be back to the Jeb Bush and Chelsea Clinton/Michelle Obama show.
So while I'm clear democracy is fundamentally, permanently corrupted by the fascistic left – the problem is finding the alternative. How do we get to a Singapore situation where we have a benign dictatorship who only cares about Singapore and has miraculously propelled Singapore into an economic mini-superpower with enviably high standards of living? Sure you can't spit on the sidewalks, but you won't have screaming blackshirts assaulting you either!

Is it something to do with having pink hair?

Bright colors are a warning sign in nature of toxicity.
Colinxy August 10, 2020 At 7:31 am
Blue or pink hair appear to be fairly accurate stereotypes.
Pete August 10, 2020 At 7:23 am
I just heard Dr Bryce Edwards say he thinks there is an appetite for more tax to be paid.
Dr Edwards is very much out of touch with that comment. I do not wish to pay more tax. I am not OK with the wanton spending by the just term finished Coalition that in my view just wasted the efforts of taxpayers, probably for a generation at least.
No to more tax. I want a government that reduces the cost of government and has a firm and sensible approach to an economy. Spend and hope is not a solution.
Te Rauparaha August 10, 2020 At 7:31 am
I think Dr Edwards means he has an appetite for more tax to be paid by anyone but himself.
That's usually the way.
I still suggest ACT should have a directive to IRD to make paying tax voluntarily a lot easier; that way we can forward on the URL onto such virtue signalers.
Saggy August 10, 2020 At 7:35 am
I think the appetite is for rich pricks to pay more tax. Definition of "rich prick" seems to be "anyone who has more money than you".
I remember in the campaign of 1999, that Jim Anderton's dominatrix stated most people were willing to pay more tax. I said to myself "Who was she asking?"
The same here. Who is Edwards asking? Does he surround himself in an echo chamber (highly likely)?
Sooty August 10, 2020 At 10:56 am

Doctor Who. And not forgetting
Dr. Helen Frankenstein.
A survey I did (straw poll) had 70% against people earning over 100k having to pay more tax, so I agree who was he asking?
Ross12 August 10, 2020 At 9:14 am
I also read Edwards comment on National's list. "More of the same, no new ideas" or something like that.
Well Dr Edwards –what is different about Labour's list? With idiotic logic like yours it is no wonder degrees are being dumbed down –lecturers like you could not cope with the quality of teaching of 25+ years ago.
He trots out the propaganda every time. There are a whole bunch of so-called "experts" so it pays to have a good filter. Utter rubbish is going to be shovelled in the run up to the election.
Pete August 10, 2020 At 1:24 pm
The Green list has a couple that are frightening and probably bursting with old but still dumb ideas.
Cindy says there's no requirement for social distancing, but is going to enforce it at polling stations. Hmmm.
And to re-state that we have no community transmission but are also advised to get PPE masks…
So are they going to have a bunch off clipboard warriors or the labour youth wing at polling booths screaming at the people to maintain the 2m rule!
What are they going to refuse your vote if they don't!
Sorry, but I don't intend to. My chance to join in on the protest movement. If they don't like it, they will get the walking stick over the head!

NZ election 2020: Winston Peters back in Parliament? 'No, no, no' – Bryce Edwards
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/08/nz-election-2020-winston-peters-back-in-parliament-no-no-no-bryce-edwards.html
Winston Peters' long career in politics is fewer than six weeks away from ending, a prominent political academic has claimed.
Asked on The AM Show on Monday if NZ First would make it back in, Victoria University politics lecturer Bryce Edwards borrowed a phrase made famous by the 75-year-old.
"No," Dr Edwards told host Duncan Garner. "No, no, no."
Kea August 10, 2020 At 5:54 pm
He is a great showman and good to have a drink with. But time to move on.
Not up to Edwards to say no, he can only speak for himself, I think that will encourage NZF voters.

Ministry of Transport fraudster Joanne Harrison cons her way into companies in the UK
https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/stuff-circuit/300076002/ministry-of-transport-fraudster-joanne-harrison-cons-her-way-into-companies-in-the-uk
Joanne Harrison, the woman convicted of a massive fraud at the Ministry of Transport, has adopted a new identity and is using it to con her way into high-paying jobs in the UK.
A Stuff Circuit investigation has discovered Harrison has changed her name to Joanna Middleton, and has used that identity to apply for jobs at two major companies, lying about her past.
Neither company, when approached, was aware of her criminal record in New Zealand.
So they can do investigative journalism – the question is why don't they do it on things like HCQ, the PM's abuse of power, Climate Alarmism etc?
Things that make you go "Hmmm!"
She should have stayed in NZ. Got all the
necessary requirements to be a Labour party
member. Hell. she could probably could have
won a seat somewhere.
Not enough money and perks!
DifferentPerspective August 10, 2020 At 11:19 am
Really? Who gets more perks than an MP? And is there any other profession where you could get a taxpayer funded residence, half a mill a year, be chauffeur driven everywhere, free travel to visit ma and pa in the Islands – all for a fish'n'chip shop assistant?
Talk about punching above one's weight
Not a successful conversion by the Ministry of Corrections then?
Lizziep August 10, 2020 At 4:38 pm
I am amazed she is out of jail already Its not a bad idea to stl though ands and thousands you only get a short time and if you have spent the $ or something you can get out and still have money to set you up again. Not bad really is it? Fuckn hell
howitis August 10, 2020 At 8:03 pm
The stupid thing is that Harrison or [insert her name today here] was out of prison in under 2 years.
They should have allowed Australia to to extradite her for offences there.
They did request details but the complete moron Martin Matthews – her boss -turned away a request from the Australian Federal Police to get access to her for fraud in Victoria .
Other countries like Thailand or Indonesia co-operate with the AFP but the moron Matthews did not want to.
Perhaps he was too stupid to understand his obligations or was dizzy from the last [insert her name] BJ.
Matthews' behaviour was never outed in this disgraceful activity as it should have been.
Protecting shit public servants yet again.
Matthews' appalling behaviour cost at least 4 honest people their jobs and he is parading himself as a fucking victim.
What an egg.
Matthews wanted to be the Auditor General for all NZ – overseeing $90 billion a year in Govt expenditure ; and even more now with the billions in handouts/election bribes .
I would not trust him with the Saturday takings from the bowling club.
Martin Matthews. Remember that name.
Wevers was correct.
Out in less than two years.
A disgraceful chapter all round and another example of the Pro-crime stance of the NZ Government.
What a complete arsehole. Should be arrested and
charged with perverting the course of justice.

For all good "aotearoans" that follow the "matariki" & "puanga" in the maori science of stars. 🙁
NASA also is doing a cleansing of stars.
NASA announced in a press release Thursday that it will change the names of planets and other heavenly bodies that it deems "offensive."
For instance, the "Eskimo Nebula," discovered in 1787 by William Hershel, will now be referred to as NGC 2392, and the "Siamese Twins Galaxy" will be known as NGC 4567 and NGC 4568.
https://disrn.com/news/nasa-to-change-offensive-names-from-planets-and-other-celestial-bodies
NASA long since sold their souls to the "dark side of sciences".
Nicknames are often more approachable and public-friendly than official names for cosmic objects, such as Barnard 33, whose nickname "the Horsehead Nebula" invokes its appearance.
But often seemingly innocuous nicknames can be harmful and detract from the science.
The Agency will be working with diversity, inclusion, and equity experts in the astronomical and physical sciences to provide guidance and recommendations for other nicknames and terms for review.
"These nicknames and terms may have historical or culture connotations that are objectionable or unwelcoming, and NASA is strongly committed to addressing them," said Stephen T. Shih, Associate Administrator for Diversity and Equal Opportunity at NASA Headquarters. "Science depends on diverse contributions, and benefits everyone, so this means we must make it inclusive."
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-to-reexamine-nicknames-for-cosmic-objects
To help all the people who could not even see these things, could not make wheels or even to make glass, that further developed to spectacles through to telescopes and microscopes.
I guess the 'dark side of the moon' is now verbotim?

The Moon doesn't have a dark side. The Moon has day and night but the day length on the Moon is about 29.5 Earth days.
There is a black hole in NZ. It is located in the

I couldn't care less if men wish to dress in drag- nor do I care what they get up to in the bedroom.
But them visiting Pre Schools to promote their lifestyle??
Something is very fucking un-okay about this….
All part of the continued perversion of
little kids innocence and thinking.
It is sickening.
Simpleton1 August 10, 2020 At 10:30 am
two weeks unpaid leave to tour the country
offering free events
for toddlers to intermediates
promoting "acceptance, diversity, inclusion and being kind".
Would these people have a police clearance to "work" (indoctrinate) with children.
May be not technically grooming, but how far is this from 'grooming'?
Being in the library, is there a supervisor, a bureaucrat, a council, that can be held responsible for any "misdemeanor"?
Or will the council just say; "we will look into it" with a "huruhuru" duster?
Libraries in New Zealand are already been doing this,
Is it really free? or are some making a living out of this?
The drag queens are looking to validate themselves, as being another part of normal inclusiveness.
All for free? yeah right. On whose tab or sponsorship?
A form of "virtue signalling" to go on their CV so an inclusive nod can be given.
A 'feelz' good factor seems to be at work here, but for whose good?
What is the point?
If they are really dolled up to be like woman, then the children would not know they are men, male.
Is it to show that some woman have very deep voices? Is that the point? yeah naahhh.
What is something being let slipped to the children?
All dolled up, and being a sex worker, will also entertain the children?
Again what is the point? unless it is let slipped that the sex workers have many paying partners and you too can be one.
It would seem that the progressive families like '2 mums' & '2 dads', and helping "solo parents".
Tolerance, Normal, yeah right, but is there an agenda behind it?
Just how are the lives of Erika and Coco Flash. The truth now "ladies".
Another truth emerged in the Lexington library, where a public "town hall" meeting was held with a council of commissioners.
read LGBT-affirming story books to young children ages 3-8.
They also conducted a "drag queen makeup tutorial" for "tweens and teens" – children 9-19 years old.
Their stated goal: "To capture their imagination and give kids positive and unabashedly queer, role models."
The event at the public library was organized by the Southern Maryland Area Secular Humanists,

There is a video 18 mins in the above link of the points parents made of their concerns, with many interesting points, and facts, shows up more other events and agenda with others that push these agendas of "inclusiveness" and being a part of the thin edge of the wedge, like to NAMBLA
and this was the original source of the above news, and a bit more graphic.
This triggered the "town hall" meeting.

New South Waikato training centre to be 'catalyst' to get local youth in jobs
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/rural/2020/08/new-south-waikato-training-centre-to-be-catalyst-to-get-local-youth-in-jobs.html
A new trades centre in South Waikato aims to train up local youth to fill almost 1000 jobs in the region over the next five years.
The centre will be built in the town of Tokoroa and is set to be completed by 2022.
It will cater to key local sectors including farming, engineering, construction, manufacturing and logistics.
Construction of the centre comes after a survey of South Waikato companies found around 850 new staff would be required in the region over the next five years, said Francis Pauwels, SWIFT economic development manager.
howitis August 10, 2020 At 12:29 pm
I wont bother to try and read the smudgy crayon scribble of new shub but riddle me this
If there are 1000 new skilled people required in the next 5 years and the training centre will be ready – at best – in 2 years -RMA and all that- then they are halfway into the skills drought with no solution.
I would have thought with the weak economy of Tokoroa there must be some empty buildings that can be repurposed.
Will the cousies get off the couch to attend the training, let alone attend jobs?

The only running Stoner Twitford does is running away.

The answer to all your highly pertinent questions is it's another Labour run cluster. 🙂
I have a Grandson who got of his chuff and just worked himself into an electrical apprenticeship. Old fashioned style, not via such an institute and did not cost the taxpayers anything.
I think this is yet another attack on the taxpayer and the results will be dismal but the executive and administrative costs will be fully covered until it is shutdown.
Youth need to learn to get cracking on their own account. No one owes an individual a living. Personal responsibility is the missing aspect with too much government interference in daily life not assisting common sense.

Sarah Dowie epitomises what is wrong with National
Sarah Dowie's valedictory speech sums up exactly how far National have drifted into the Labour Lite mindset.
Apparently poor wittle Ms Dowie was the victim, it was the patriarchy that tried to destroy her (neglecting to mention that the patriarchy she talks of was the female dominated Press Gallery). She was also a victim of an evil man (a bad man!), apparently she had no choice in the matter – imagine that! In this day and age, a married woman, an MP, a supposed pillar of the community! She had no choice about opening her legs for an obvious slimeball like JLR. Clearly, she is not equal. She does not possess the ability to make decisions for her self.
In short, poor Ms Dowie is not able to be self-responsible. She needed to be protected from the bad man who she entered into an (admittedly ill-advised) CONSENSUAL relationship.
What was it that Thomas Sowell said "There are few things in life as seductive as the notion that everything bad that happens to you is someone else's fault!"
Equally, she had no choice about sending that terrible text to JLR – wishing he was dead. For me that is an almost unforgivable act. We are supposed to have evolved beyond that stage where death is the answer to every crime – and on the face of it what JLR did was nasty – but worthy of a death sentence? Where is the sound judgment that we expect of MPs? Where is the proportionate response, the measured and considered approach to complex and challenging problems that we expect of the highest level of decision-makers in the land? Apparently, Ms Dowie is no different to the Antifa thugs destroying the US democracy right now. If you FEEL strongly about something, then anything goes!
I have sympathy for Ms Dowie's hurt feelings, embarrassment and sense of loss. I wouldn't wish what she went through on anyone.
But all of it could have been avoided if she'd made better life choices!
And we need MPs in the National party who live by that simple and self-evident truth.
You want to hear a 'Poor little me' whine you should listen to Claire Curran's valedictory!
Apparently the Evil 'Right Wing' Media was solely responsible for her political demise…
Well said DP.
I have no sympathy for Dowie.What she did was cheat on her husband and I would love to have a talk to him .Maybe he is the 'victim' here.
nasska August 10, 2020 At 10:23 am
Thank you for your opinions Ms Dowie.
Put your panties back on & close the door behind you as you leave.
Ruahine August 10, 2020 At 10:51 am
I totally agree DP. You would think that this woman was a 17 year old. Sorry lady. I am not buying it. You made a fool of yourself.
I totally agree DP.
There are two x fifteen minute interviews on 'newsroom' that I stated to watch last week.
I think the link came from YSB. I would not normally go there.
I only watched a bit of the first one.
It was poor me; little girl lost; soft, sad voice blah blah.
This was the approx 40 year woman who fought for a safe Notional party seat, had been a practicing lawyer, was a mother and a wife and well travelled MP who went to russia at age 15, just happened to get 'metoo'd in a consensual sexual M-F adult relationship with a bloke who was a sleaze.
OK, girly if that is your story.
I jumped forward on the first vid and at 12 mins was Tova No'Brain with her some time BF Jami Lee – appropriately sitting in the back seat of a car (minivan) .
Yuk; just yuk.
I won't link for health and safety reasons and preservation of your keyboard if not the screen as well.
The interview reminded me a bit of the Christine Crazy Ford testimony (?) against Kavanaugh and the pathetic little 'poor me' voice.
Fuck off Dowie. Just fuck off now.
Dowie is pathetic and there are too many of them in Notional.
They have a long way to go to regain respect and appointing Todd whats'is'name as No 8 on the NP list when he had a meltdown when a bit of pressure came on after a few weeks on the job.
Notional seems utterly clueless with a useless President whose wife (and she is ex-wife of MP Scott Simpson -N ) is a lefty on the Auckland council that voted for the 3.5% rates rise and no attempt to curtail council spending.
They allowed the critter M Hooten to really mess things up then walk away with no restraint on his exploiting his damage.
They are bringing in further chinless wonders as Chris Luxon is going to be.
What a lame horse Notional is.
Cindy did say, "the money is there so we may as well spend it". Did she consider it has to be paid back?
NZ Election 2020: Jacinda Ardern stays tight-lipped on how Labour would pay back COVID borrowing
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/08/nz-election-2020-jacinda-ardern-stays-tight-lipped-on-how-labour-would-pay-back-covid-borrowing.html
With six weeks to go until the election, Labour is still staying coy on how it plans to pay off the country's debt, should it remain in power after September 19.
Labour leader Jacinda Ardern has repeatedly refused to answer whether her party would increase taxes to pay off the $50 billion borrowed to get the country through the COVID-19 economic crisis. On Monday, she refused to even say if she thought it was a good idea in principle, even if it wasn't Labour policy.
"Asking for my theory or opinion on it, whether it's personal or otherwise, is seeking to announce a policy before it's ready to be put out there," she told The AM Show. "You won't have to wait very long."
VERY reliable sources tell me that Jacinda will be whooshing off to her dream job at the UN with the next couple of years.
Paying off debt and all that 'silly economics and stuff' is the absolute last thing on her mind!

Christchurch horse racing track bags Provincial Growth Fund cash despite being ruled ineligible
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/08/christchurch-horse-racing-track-bags-provincial-growth-fund-cash-despite-being-ruled-ineligible.html
The Provincial Growth Fund is bankrolling a horse-racing track in the middle of Christchurch to the tune of $10.5 million, despite officials saying the project doesn't meet the fund's criteria.
Racing Minister and New Zealand First leader Winston Peters announced in May that the all-weather track in Riccarton would be funded, along with another track in Manawatu's Awapuni.
"There is no evidence provided that indicates public consultation has occurred on the proposal or with regional economic development governance groups."
Despite the concerns, the minister in charge of the PGF, NZ First's Shane Jones, and Labour Ministers Phil Twyford, Grant Robertson and David Parker, approved the funding.
National's economic development spokesman, Michael Woodhouse, said serious questions must be asked about why a wet-weather track was being funded when COVID-19 was creating more pressing priorities.
It will be named the Jacinda Ardern racecourse.
People will be able to throw their money away on
horses who fail to perform.
Well, one thing is for sure it won't be called the "Winstone Peters track"
It was her birthday last week…
August 1, all horses birthday.
When asked if she wanted the course named after her as a present she said.. neigh.
Well that's a relief – I thought that Jacinda and Dr Silly Name might have been making shit up
After years and years of solid proof that surgical masks don't stop the transmission of virus and extended use only offers negative health outcomes – the Communist Party of China WHO have issued an update to say that they were wrong – now masks are a really, really, really, really important part of how we are kept in a thrall of idiocised fear safe from the common cold.
This is such a relief, for a while there I thought that there was a creepy attempt to influence the election by making us all wear things that visually remind us that every human being is a danger to us and we need St Jacinda to save us from the evil white supremacists every day virus carriers who want to kill our aged parents and grandparents.
Fuck it's a relief to see something from the totally, completely, utterly unbiased, uncorrupted, politically unbiased, trustworthy WHO to make sure we feel safe in our Lord Jacinda Christ.

Did you see the Labour Party Campaign Launch?
Talk about Cult of Personality! Hundreds of glassy eyed Labour fanatics singing and dancing like they are having a religious experience at Church- That large woman in the red dress shaking her booty while deliriously singing about Jacinda was like something from a documentary I watched about Jim Jones in Guyana!
I have never seen anything so 'Cult-like' in all my years of watching NZ Politics. They honestly seem to believe she is the Messiah.
One can only hope that the Election goes badly for these utterly deranged weirdos and they get the buckets of Kool Aid out…
Cap, I have to admit. I'm very frightened about the election. I'm really concerned that the brainwashing has worked. I talk to so many people that are really, really frightened. By the common cold!
When did we become such shivering, cowering, superstitious troglodytes?
I don't know who said it yesterday but it bears repeating. Think of how stupid the average person is, then think that 50% of the population are even dumber!
I too am concerned DP. I cannot understand how or
why so many people are fooled by this communist
puppet. Is it all the biased media media fawning, and
drooling "journalists" that have convinced people that
there is only Jacinda to save the nation?
NZ is doomed if that is the case.
Without Saint Ardern, the Labour party would have been washed out back in 2017, especially under little in body, little in mind, Andrew.
It's little wonder that they worship her.

In case you haven't seen this Tony Heller discusses Ardern's obsession with eliminating CCP virus. You will easily spot the one or two inaccuracies but basically the argument seems pretty fair to me.
"The New Zealand Prime Minister has been singularly obsessed with eliminating the virus from the island. In this video I discuss the consequences of her actions and compare it to what Sweden did."

Eliminating the small number of active Covid-19 cases in NZ should be easy. A couple of weeks will do it.
The trick will be not to let into the country anyone who might possible have the virus.
There goes the lucrative student market and tourism.
I hope that by the end of 2022 international travel without quarantine will be a thing.

Unless there's a miraculous cure for the CCP flu, not for NZ. As a population we will continue to be vulnerable unlike, say, Sweden. We will have to close the borders for a really long time (unless you're mates with Ardern like James Cameron whose crew completely ignored the lockdown).
Someone should put that up Adern's FB page and see how long it lasts. But it should also go on another high profile FB where it will last a bit longer. ( I'm not on FB ) . Maybe Ed can put it up on the FB page he got such a good response from, with the list of lies.
Duncan Garner: It's a coronavirus election – and COVID has become an excuse not to talk about the ugly stuff

So it is a COVID election. And conveniently, it's become an excuse not to talk about the ugly stuff.
But six weeks is a long campaign. The media get bored and will look for trouble as much as National will.
The polls will tighten up: 42 days is a long time to go mistake-free for anyone.
Ardern will be nervously guarding her position.
It's up to the artillery of troublemakers in Opposition to get her out of the COVID trenches. If they do – then we have a fight on our hands.
Artimus Pyle August 10, 2020 At 12:13 pm
Covid is all the commie slag has to campaign on. EVERYTHING
her government has touched has turned to shit. Failures everywhere
you look. "Promises" broken, failed, or not even attempted, corrupt
ministers who she repeatedly failed to sack or discipline, a dirty,
lying deputy PM who gave her the finger and failed to tell her to pull
her head in on crucial issues that would affect Kiwi's.
Covid is all she has.
Yep Covid is her cover. It's why they are talking it back up.
I reality it's just an ordinary unremarkable flu strain.
National plans to require drivers to display insurance details on car rego labels
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/national-plans-require-drivers-display-insurance-details-car-rego-labels
The changes would require car insurer details to be displayed on car registration labels and vehicles that don't have, as a minimum, third party car insurance to display the word "uninsured" on their label.
Drivers would have to link the Motor Vehicle Database with insurer details to help smooth the process should details be required.
Leader Judith Collins says uninsured drivers "cost responsible drivers millions of dollars". She said National doesn't believe that's fair.
About time too. Should have been done 30 years ago.
I can just see it now, Kiwi Insurance!

Then there is "mission creep" over time.

"We've got a great set of candidates," David Seymour responded. It's not just about me."

"That means when people are coming back into the country, can you separate them from other people that are coming in from countries that do have COVID?" she said.
"I know this seems really obvious, and I shouldn't have to say it, but I thought it was pretty obvious that when you quarantine you keep people in quarantine, and they didn't do that in the beginning."
Bennett says she wants checks on who will be in the Cook Islands and a separate airport for Kiwis travelling to and from the Pacific nation, so tourists don't have to mix with returnees flying into Auckland from high-risk nations.
"If they're gonna open up, I want absolute damned assurances that they're gonna get this one right, right from day one."
A good but strange choice? Are they trying to be thought of as less biased?

Helen Clark hits out at 'shock jock' Mike Hosking over cannabis views
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/08/helen-clark-hits-out-at-shock-jock-mike-hosking-over-cannabis-views.html
Former Prime Minister Helen Clark has urged Kiwis to ignore 'shock jocks' when they come to decide whether to vote in favour of cannabis legalisation.
Clark wants the upcoming referendum to pass, ending the prohibition on the popular drug so Kiwis don't have to get it from tinny houses.
But she's run into opposition from a number conservative commentators and broadcasters, notably Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking, who regularly uses his platform to urge listeners to vote 'no' in September.
"People are rushing around the house, pouting the cornflakes on the table for the kids, the rant's going on in the background… How much influence does it really have, is what I'm asking? I'd say to people there are more informative channels."
The hideous spanner toothed freak is desperate to
remain relevant. Probably jealous her little sock puppet
Cindy is getting all the limelight.
Even then it is cause to spark up a joint & celebrate the moment.
That's the first time the Arch Maggot has ever said something I agree with. 🙂
So Helen Clark, H2 and Peter Davis are druggies and enjoy a toke!
If you ever want to see joints passed around with gay abandon an arty/lefty social event should do the trick Sooty. Good stuff too.
It's long been a rural tradition for farmers to marry teachers & some of the barbeques we were invited to were legendary. The men would largely stick to the piss but the women would get trolleyed on electric puha. 🙂
In another life I recall joints sitting in a bowl like peanuts. The ladies rolled around in the grass laughing while men drank. Gang members and Maori present. Nothing bad happened.
Never seen stoned people cause real harm while stoned. Or heroin users. Makes you think.
Stoned people generally cause little physical harm but they attract the ire of pissheads who can & do. I accept that they can be bloody annoying but shit happens.
If we were all allowed to eliminate what we don't like there wouldn't be much left.
Judith Collins asks National supporters to cross party lines for ACT's David Seymour
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/judith-collins-asks-national-supporters-cross-party-lines-acts-david-seymour
"I am very happy to say we want the party vote in Epsom please and in this particular electorate you can give the first tick for the electorate to David Seymour," she said.
"I would welcome him being part of a National/Act Government."
"I am asking the people of Epsom rather than telling, it's always important to be respectful of people and their votes."
National's leader also stated her admiration for ACT's leader is well known.
"Everyone knows I think David Seymour is an excellent local MP, so I don't need to do anything else, have little cups of tea or anything, because everybody knows that David Seymour and I work very well together.
"A National Party Government is best served with ACT as its partner."
An Act Party Government is best served with National as it's partner.
ACT is the most liberal progressive party in parliament. I reckon they might actually care about more than power, over us plebs.

Judith Collins hits out at 'mixed messages' on COVID-19, 'interesting timing' of Cook Islands bubble progress
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/08/judith-collins-hits-out-at-mixed-messages-on-covid-19-interesting-timing-of-cook-islands-bubble-progress.html
"Clearly there is something they think is different and I've got these mixed messages in the last few days with the Director-General of Health talking about COVID lockdown level 2 and face masks and people are saying 'well hang on, what's going on here?'"
Collins said she found it "very odd" that the Prime Minister would announce during the election campaign that a travel bubble could be in place by December.
"It just staggers me that the Government is currently today announcing that they might do something in December. Well, they won't be around in December so it won't be their decision," Collins said.
How can labour talk about masks, distancing on one hand and travel bubble on the other!

And the situation was worsening, with more people asking for help every day, Red Cross visitor care Manaaki Manuhiri project lead Rachel O'Connor said.
The Red Cross was currently helping more than 4,000 backpackers, seasonal workers and tourists with food, warm clothing and financial help.
But with continuous flight cancellations and difficulty in finding work, many were running out of their savings, O'Connor said.
The organisation was funded by the Department of Internal Affairs to provide help to stranded migrants until the end of September, but the need was unlikely to diminish by then, O'Connor said.

David Seymour reveals his new ACT Party mascot Freedom
https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/08/david-seymour-reveals-his-new-act-party-mascot-freedom.html
Created by candidate David King's wife, Freedom is a small, brightly coloured doll with a pointed gnome hat and legs striped in the ACT Party colours of pink, white, yellow and blue.
"Freedom has two eyes for seeing, a nose for smelling – but evidently no ears, which possibly is a disadvantage for Freedom because ACT is always listening," Seymour said.
"Freedom wears the ACT badge proudly and we think Freedom is going to be a wonderful accomplice on our tour."
What the fuck??
Calm down Private Pyle, he's on form.
He's a bit too in love with the free market neo lib construct for me. But he's no fanatic and will adopt new ideas if his are not working.

Government announces it will start charging for managed isolation at midnight
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/government-announces-start-charging-managed-isolation-midnight?auto=6177233348001
Charges for returnees will come into force from 12.01am tomorrow, after they passed their last Cabinet milestone today, Housing Minister Megan Woods said.
"The new charging system balances the rights of New Zealanders to return home and helps reduce pressure on the managed isolation and quarantine system, while recovering some of the costs from those who choose to leave and enter the country on holidays or business trips," Ms Woods said.
"Anyone who needs to come home but cannot afford the charges will still be able to come home. Exemptions are available for certain groups of people and waivers from charges are possible on a case-by-case basis for undue financial hardship and in special circumstances (such as compassionate grounds).
I doubt they will get one cent……

Three men rescued from Wellington Harbour, but their dog died, after boat capsizes
Three men who weren't wearing life-jackets were rescued this afternoon in the Wellington Harbour after their boat capsized, but unfortunately their dog, also aboard, did not survive.
https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/new-zealand/three-men-rescued-wellington-harbour-but-their-dog-died-after-boat-capsizes
Wellington Regional Harbourmaster Grant Nalder confirmed the dog did not survive.
"When the boat capsized, the dog got trapped in the boat," he said.
"They were pulling in a fishing net and all the weight was in the back of the boat and it tipped over."
Mr Nalder said the temperature in the harbour today was 11 degrees.
……"Three men who weren't wearing life-jackets"……
Later in the article "the temperature in the harbour today was 11 degrees.
"Once you're in the water, you've only got about 10 minutes of energy,"
Yet the photo shows three men who, while unlikely to be rocket scientists, were wearing wetsuits which have buoyancy & would have prevented hypothermia for hours. The rescue industry in NZ will soon choke itself with wank & hyperbole.

How to make a succulent wreath arrangement!
Seriously can't belive this is the first one I've ever made. Having a background as a floral designer, wreath making is certainly not new to me. I have probably made 1000 wreaths over the years. But, they were mostly of silk and dried materials. I made a few with fresh flowers but never with my beloved succulents.
For the past two years in the fall I've made succulent topped pumpkins (photo below) with this same technique, and have seen how long the succulents last. I think the wreath will stay looking good for at least a year based on my experience with the succulent pumpkins. I plan to mist the moss at least once a week to see how that helps it last. I've read other blogs from experts, and that's what they do!
Here is a wonderful video produced by succulent guru Debra Baldwin, featuring the fanaical Katie Christensen of Waterwise Botanicals Nursery, that may help you visualize the process: How to Plant a Cold-Hardy Succulent Wreath. Of course her video shows using a moss wreath, but you can choose what ever base you want. Another difference is that she uses moss pins and cold glue, so if you don't have a glue gun this gives you another option.
The succulents will root in the moss and won't die. They can later be removed and planted, or just refresh the wreath but cutting them back and re-gluing them in.
Succulent and dried arrangement made with hot glue and moss.
More inspiration: Here is a great article written about succulent wreaths by Succulent Gardens. You can even buy a wreath making kit from them which includes all of the cuttings. Great price and quality! Succulent Wreaths. Succulent Gardens is a wholesale/retail nursery dedicated to the growing of over 400 varieties of quality succulent plants. The nursery covers over three acres and the plants are displayed both in greenhouses and outside.
This next photo shows an example of their succulent wreath cuttings. I used them for this planted chair. The possibilities are endless.
Now let's get down to wreath making! I opted to use a grapevine wreath over the wire or moss stuffed wreaths because I like the look of it and I find them easily at garage sales for only $1.00. What crafter doesn't have a few grapevine wreaths laying around?
Moss. I used three different types for a variety of texture and color. The best kind is the sheet moss you can buy in small bags for about $8 (spagnum moss turns brown - see photo below where I am holding the wreath). I also like the Reindeer moss and it comes in lots of colors.
Sheet moss may be labeled differently in stores. This is usually how it is packaged. Reindeer moss in various colors.
Succulent cuttings - I used about 55 cuttings, depends on how full you want it.
Chopstick or any stick will do. I used a cut off succulent stem.
Pods, pinecones, dried materials...anything you want to add to enhance your wreath.
Gather your materials and start by laying out how you want your rosettes arranged.
Make yourself comfortable, it takes about 2 hours to finish your wreath. Put something down on your work surface to protect it from any glue drips. Start by laying out the larger main succulent rosettes to see how they will look. You normally want to think odd numbers, three, five, seven for your main colors and feature items. But that is not a hard and fast rule.
I used cuttings from my garden, so there is a ton of variety and sizes. The cuttings you buy from Succulent Gardens gives a nice variety, just more uniform in size. Think about clipping a few larger rosettes from your collection. Don't worry, they will grow back!
Next hot glue the moss on to the wreath frame. I alternated three different types. Make sure it is super secure. I used my stick to press the moss firmly onto the wreath frame to save my fingertips from getting burned by the hot glue. And yes, who hasn't burned themselves with hot glue? Be careful!!!
See how the moss is secured. Then glue on your feature rosettes with space inbetween.
Apply a generous amount of hot glue around the stem and touching the bottom of the rosette. Then press it firmly into the moss. You might need to make an impression into the moss with your stick, but only if the moss is too thick and hard. Just keep adding and arranging the succulents. Alternate colors and types for a good design. Make sure place a few on the sides of the wreath.
For a finished look, you might want to add more moss on the sides once you are done adding succulents.
It makes a mess, but it's well worth it!
Last glue on any pods or embellishments you wish. I try to avoid adding a bow, but if you really want one made sure to save space for it.
Now, stand back and admire your beautiful creation! And don't forget to take a photo.
I assume this is Debra! Thanks!!!
Hi!!! I am a fellow member of Succulent Fanatics page on FB! You do such amazing inspirational projects!!! I look forward to seeing more of your work. Thank you for sharing your skills!!!
Thank you Stephanie. I am finally learning how to get this blog going. I appreciate your compliment. See you around SF!
Thank you so much Sara! Sorry I didn't see your comment sooner. It was hidden on a page in the settings and I just found it today. The brand name of the moss I buy is "Super Moss." I think they sell it at Michael's or look at your local nursery.
Hi. I'm also a member of the Succulent Fanatics. Love looking at all your work. Having been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and a long time sufferer, I've turned into gardening to destress. And I'm excited to recreate some of your work fory home. You inspired me to check out the artist in me.
Maria, thank you so much! I warms my heart to know that you were inspired by my designs. That makes it all worth it. I sell a few things here and there, but really do it just for the love of working with plants and letting my creative side run wild!
The hot glue doesn't kill the succulents?
No it does not. Strange but true!
Will the succulents form roots and grow even through the glue?
Yes they sure do! See the fourth and fifth photos above.


Infographic: How Much of Your Data is on the Net?
Having all your information in one place is part of what makes the Internet is so useful. You can publicly share common interests via Tweets and Facebook posts, or access banking accounts and statements through email. This is great, but it all adds up to a lot of potentially vulnerable information on the Web. Do you know how much of your information is on the Internet? Do you know whether or not it's secure?
In a blog post, commercial website WhoIsHostingThis.com offered a look at how much information the Internet has stored. As we continue to put our personal data online, the amount of information on the Web rises. There might be information on you that that's available to your friends and the public that you didn't know was accessible.
Aside from Facebook and Instagram, you could be featured in the Google Street View pictures; the site has over five million miles of images. It used to have more information on individuals, but allegedly disposed of it when the company got into trouble in 2010. At first denying its data collection, Google later confessed to gathering personal information consumers were sending over wireless networks. This included entire email addresses, URLs, and passwords. To add to the controversy, in 2012 the Federal Communications Commission claimed that Google did not cooperate fully with its investigation and proposed to fine the company $25,000. As of 2013, Google has paid a seven million dollar settlement for the affair.
Google isn't the only company that has harvested individuals' data. Eighty percent of all U.S. email addresses are stored and used by Rapleaf, a marketing data and software company, for advertising. Like Google, Rapleaf also fell under fire in 2010 when it denied collecting information about users' online browsing behavior.
Mobile devices have their fair share of information as well. Eighty-seven percent of U.S. adults can be tracked by their mobiles and free apps are more than four times as likely to access contact lists from users' devices.
This year, roughly 1.8 million megabytes of data, such as downloaded movies and emails, are produced by the average office worker. By 2015, it is estimated that this amount will double.
Despite the alarming amount of information people can find on you on the Internet, you're not going to stop using it. However, reading privacy policies could make you reconsider how much you use your personal accounts. A recent study found that 35% of people used Facebook less and 50% of people used Google less after reading social media policies.
There are a few tips you can follow to protect your personal data. Ensure that your Wi-Fi password is protected. Change social media privacy settings on sites like Facebook, and periodically check that they're up-to-date. If you have a Google account, make sure your privacy settings are the way you want them. For instance, you can choose which applications and websites can access and use details from your account. Opt out of tracking tied to your email address. To protect yourself against cyber attackers, two-factor authentication is a good idea for both your email and Facebook. Be careful about what information you make public and secure the data you want to keep private.

Georgism, Part Nine: The Morality of Tax Reform
Much of Henry George's classic work, Progress and Poverty, is devoted to the immorality of our current tax system. Although George didn't use the following example, I decided to try it, because it illustrates a problem I've observed throughout my adult life.
Let's suppose there are two children, each starting school as a first grader this coming fall. One is from a wealthy family, although her parents never had to work a day in their lives. They were simply fortunate enough to inherit a large estate from a grandparent. The other child is from a poor family. Her parents are legal immigrants–refugees who successfully made it to the United States to start a new life. They work hard in minimum wage jobs but are struggling to make ends meet.
Here's the question: Why is it that we as Americans–who believe that all people are created equal–are okay with that scenario? To put the matter another way, how can we state that "what you need for success in this country is to work hard and save your money," when the reality is that the first family is far more wealthy–and more likely to live a long, happy life–without lifting a finger?
George would point to the need to eliminate sales taxes and income taxes, moving all taxation to raw property. (I would include the dollar value of inherited estates above a certain homestead value to the latter category.) In so doing, the poor family would find that it could keep more of its hard-earned money while the wealthy inheritors–who had done nothing to deserve their wealth–would pay a greater share of our nation's tax burden.
Note carefully that George does not advocate taxing the improved portion of real property, such as buildings and fixtures. By focusing on raw land, his tax would encourage two beneficial behaviors: (1) the donation of raw land for parks, because landowners would no longer want to pay the stiff tax; and (2) the development of other idle land for residential purposes, thus addressing one aspect of our homelessness problem.
I'm old enough to realize that such ideas still require many election cycles before they take root. And I'm aware that powerful interests–especially owners of large tracts of land–could be counted on to fight back. But when these same property owners stop to think about the advantages of eliminating other forms of taxation, not to mention the many benefits of removing the shackles of payroll taxes from our economic powerhouse, I believe they might even jump on the bandwagon.
For an updated (2021) and edited collection of these essays on Georgism the following pamphlet is now available via Amazon and Kindle. Get it HERE.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 Y Galaxy S8 + they have begun to receive a new upgrade in Europe. The first references about it advance us that includes the April security patch , but also other implementations focused on improving the functioning of the camera , as well as connectivity Wifi Y Bluetooth .
Samsung , as usual with its latest models, launches a new update to integrate the latest security patch of Google, corresponding to the month of April. If a week ago I did it for Galaxy S9 Y Galaxy Note 8, today the round has started for the Galaxy S8 and S8 +. This is what the first users notice in having detected the release of OTA .
A OTA that weighs a total of 570 MB and, as we were advancing, it includes the security patch of April 2018. The firmware comes with reference G950FXXU1CRD7 and G955FXXU1CRD7 , depending on the model to which it is intended. It includes seven security bug fixes critics, as well as another thirty solution to high virulence errors and others of moderate level.
However, the manufacturer has also taken advantage of the release of the security patch to integrate into the system of Samsung Galaxy S8 Y Samsung Galaxy S8 + other own improvements. The first details are only those that we have been able to extract from the first screenshots of the tool from which the download and installation of the update occurs.
In it, we can read that OTA focuses on improve the stability of the camera , as well as WiFi and Bluetooth wireless connections . We hope to be able to expand more information as users detect changes, given that Samsung does not usually offer specific details about the improvements introduced, at least beyond the generic description of the information associated with the OTA update.
Refering to availability of this OTA update, with reference G950FXXU1CRD7, the first users in Europe who have been able to access it have been the Germans. However, it is expected that the new software version will be extended to other markets, including Spanish, during the next few days.


IMAGINE A nonviolent CITY WHERE EVERYONE strives to PRACTICE NONVIOLENCE, WHERE ALL THE INSTITUTIONS TEACH AND PROMOTE NONVIOLENCE, WHERE VIOLENCE NO LONGER RUNS RAMPANT. THIS IS OUR VISION. THIS IS OUR WORK.
The Nonviolent Cities Project not only envisions cities that could become nonviolent, it is working to make this vision a reality across the US and the world.
Campaign Nonviolence engages with key activists across the US to create more just and nonviolent cities. It all started with Carbondale, Illinois and their project, "Nonviolent Carbondale," where people in every aspect of life in Carbondale have been working for years to create a more nonviolent community.  When Pace e Bene's John Dear visited the community, he saw how every aspect of the community worked to promote a nonviolent Carbondale, including the city council, police department, school system, library system, health care system, religious communities, and nonprofit organizations. He thought this was a model for the rest of the nation.
We invite you to work with people in your local community to claim this vision as a way forward, to uphold this vision to make your city a "nonviolent city." With "Nonviolent Carbondale" as a model, we invite you to call together activists and local leaders to launch this movement in your community, to put the word "nonviolent" in front of your city, and to help others envision, organize and work for a new, more disarmed, local community or city.
Perhaps the greatest impact of Nonviolent Cities lies in each city working together to address violence in all its structures and systems. The Nonviolent Cities project mandates that cities pursue a more holistic, creative, city-wide vision of nonviolence, where everyone together practices, promotes, teaches and institutionalizes nonviolence at the local level. We seek not just to undermine the local and regional culture of violence, but to transform it into a culture of nonviolence.
news reporters and local media.
Together, we can address the issues of violence in your city and pursue the angles and possibilities of nonviolence for your city's transformation into a more nonviolent community. As we start gathering in organizing meetings, and claim together the vision of nonviolent future for your city, more and more people will join the vision to welcome a new culture of nonviolence in your city. Let us know how we can help!
in general, do everything possible to help their local community become more disarmed, more reconciled, more just, more welcoming, more inclusive, and more nonviolent.
Though this is a broad, ambitious vision, we believe it is an idea whose time has come, a new step forward in the visionary nonviolence of Mahatma Gandhi and Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
See www.nonviolentcarbondale.org to learn how they have begun and continue their project.
See the Ten Steps toward organizing your community as a Nonviolent City here.
Together, we will take new, creative steps toward justice, disarmament and peace, and working for a new culture of nonviolence.

There are actually so many reasons why you should want to buy Geburtstag ballons from an online store that as soon as you learn a few of them, you are going to immediately start searching for the right provider. Truth being told, balloons are great as decorations in any situation, regardless if we are talking about weddings, birthday parties, romantic proposals or even the opening of a new shop. To make sure you make the right choice in each situation, check out the different types of herz ballons that you can purchase.
Keep in mind the fact that you can reuse the balloons again and again as long as you choose to maintain them properly and do not allow anyone to damage them. An important reason why you should consider getting Geburtstag ballons from the online environment is the fact that there is a much larger selection available here than in any local decorations shop. If you come across the right website, you will spend hours browsing through the types of balloons that they have in stock before you make a choice.
Instead of wasting a lot of time going from a decorations shop to another, you can spend it looking at balloon options instead. The good news is that many of the ones you can use for a birthday party can be reused for other events as well, depending on the message that is written on them or their design. If you want to make a smart investment, when talking about decorative items, take a look at herz ballons and pick a few.
You can pop them out when preparing a romantic meal, on your anniversary with your significant other or even when organizing a surprise birthday party. Another reason why you should buy them from an online provider is the fact that you do not have to do anything other than find the right website, pick the balloons you want and place your order. The shop will take care of the rest. That means that you can wait for them to deliver the order to your door.

So You Want To Publish A Book? (pre-order)
By Anne Trubek
Anne Trubek wrote several books, was a member of the National Book Critics Circle, and was a tenured English professor before she decided to launch a publishing company. To start and run this small press, she had to teach herself the ins and outs of a confusing, often archaic, strangely shrouded industry from yet another angle: business owner, publisher, and editor. In So You Want To Publish A Book? Trubek, who also writes the weekly newsletter Notes From A Small Press, provides insights from her journeys through all facets of writing, making, and writing about books, offering authors, authors-to-be, and the curious concrete advice and information about the publishing industry. Chapters discuss book proposals, publicity, developmental versus copy editing, how to make friends (and enemies) with independent bookstores, the differences between "Big Five" and independent presses, royalties, and cover design. Handy, humorous charts such as "Five Things Aspiring Authors Should Never Say," "Wait, Wholesalers Receive How Much of A Discount?" and "The Indignity of Returns," along with illustrations by Belt cover designer David Wilson, will help readers feel less confused by the process and, armed with more transparent understanding of the industry, more prepared to publish, promote, and purchase books wisely and successfully.
Anne Trubek is the founder and publisher of Belt Publishing, as well as the author of The History and Uncertain Future of Handwriting and, A Skeptic's Guide To Writers' Houses, editor of Voices From the Rust Belt, The Cleveland Neighborhood Guidebook, and Rust Belt Chic: The Cleveland Anthology. She also founded and served as Editor-in-Chief of Belt Magazine, served on the board of the National Book Critics Circle, and was Associate Professor of Rhetoric & Composition at Oberlin College.

In 2014, Sarah Beaudoin, Founder and President, launched Gibou after getting praised for the original design she created in an effort to answer her need for a warm yet fashionable hat that could make the freezing Canadian winter days enjoyable. This style went on to become the "Classic" and is still at the core of the company's offering with different colorways and various recycled fur pompom options. This enterprise also allowed Sarah to further explore her passion for knitting and share it with the Gibou community.
From the very beginning, it was adamant that everything we undertook would have to reflect the company's values through three essential aspects: local manufacturing, the use of recycled fur exclusively and the upcycling of noble materials.
Flooded by orders over the 2014 Holiday season, the idea of including retirees in our workforce was born. They are passionate about manual labour and the multiple benefits that come with it. This hobby turned into satisfying work even creates withdrawal as jokingly put by some of our team members to express the way they feel when they find themselves out of wool.
After focusing exclusively on winter accessories, the first Summer collection was launched in 2018 with different styles of headbands and beach towels inspired by the knots created by knitted wool. Its success sparked the idea of multiple capsule collections with special editions and colorways which you can explore in the Shop section as they see the light of day.
The Retirees
I like knitting for Gibou because ...
Denise (Laval)
"Knitting items for Gibou brings me the joy of working with wool, but also as a retiree it gives me a daily comfort zone all while knowing I'm contributing to the success of a business."
Carole (Montréal)
"Because I love the founder and she has a lot of talent!!! "
"I love knitting Gibou items because my rythm is respected. I work in utter peace and calm which is good for the soul. "
Marie (Montréal)
" Simply to relax my eyes that watch television too often.
Simply to concentrate on my work and not the problems of the world.
To appreciate my work once it's finished.
To not get reprimanded by my boss for a job poorly done.
If I could have been an artist like Sarah ..."
" For me, knitting responds to my need to be creative and knitting helps the constant need for Gibou products. There has been more than 600 hats knit since I've started with the team of knitters in November of 2015. Knitting for Gibou is a marvelous opportunity, that lets me continue, even retired, to participate in the realization of an amazing project and to support a local entrepreneur. "
Marie-France (Montréal)
"I love to knit Gibou items for the simplicity of the act and the pleasure of being part of a team from my living room."
Mérilda
"Knitting has always been my passion. Today, thanks to Gibou, I can continue to pursue this pleasure."
Lorraine (Saint-Sauveur)
"I have looked for an opportunity like this for a longtime, to be able to create and be a part of a wonderful adventure. Thank-you Gibou."

Critics have responded positively to Bradbery's new direction.

Vocally she climbs the ladder, but never shows off."[4] Markos Papadatos of Digital Journal said, "This song showcases her growth and maturity as a contemporary singer-songwriter, and it was worth the long wait."[5]Nashville Noise described the track as "a feel good song that's perfect for summer."[6]
Music videoEdit
The official music video was directed by Shaun Silva, and premiered on CMT on October 13, 2017.
