Not Such a "Wild Man of Borneo"
January 2023 Hobbies
Martin Lipczer
A tiny part of my collection which has always given me pleasure and knowledge
I have been collecting stamps since some time in the last century. It sounds like a long time ago and it is. Some of the areas I am interested in are Judaica and also North Borneo. Why North Borneo? I'm not too sure, but maybe, as a young boy, the stories about "wild men," head hunters and strange animals caught my imagination. Some of my collection is shown here.
What is the Jewish connection? You will notice that in the King George VI set issued in 1950 the 50 cent value has two stamps depicting the Clock tower at Jessleton, the Capital of North Borneo. On closer inspection, you can see that the second stamp has the name corrected to Jesselton. While we were living in Ilford, Essex, I met a fellow philatelist and during a conversation with her, I learned that she was related to a certain Toby Jessel, M.P. for Twickenham 1970-1997. She also spoke about some distant relation who was connected to the Government of North Borneo. - Sir Charles James Jessel, 1st Baronet of Ladham, barrister, businessman, and Vice-Chairman of the British North Borneo Company. The then capital ofNorth Borneo, Jesselton, was named in his honor. North Borneo, now known as Sabah, shares the Island of Borneo, the world's third largest Island, with Sarawak, Brunei and Indonesia.

AncestryDNA has a new add-on called AncestryDNA Traits. Traits costs $9.99 and is available to people who have already tested with AncestryDNA.
There are additional features to compare your traits with other users, who have also paid for this service, and with people who descend from the same ancestral regions you do.
Looking at my results, some of the traits are correct and some aren't. For the eleven appearance traits that apply to me (not male hair loss), three are incorrect. The incorrect ones include not having a cleft chin. Some of the correct ones are pretty vague, like having darker hair. Three of the sensory traits are probably correct, and I'm not sure about the fourth. It takes a lot of clicks to navigate to all of the information, probably because there isn't a lot of information there.
I thought it might be interesting to look at traits from the ancestral regions. Unfortunately, some of the sensory traits don't yet have enough information for some regions. It is moderately interesting to see how many people from regions like Germanic Europe have different eye colors or unattached earlobes.
Overall the new AncestryDNA Traits is mildly interesting. Hopefully as more features are revealed, it will become more worth the cost.

California is a solar giant. Well, it's a giant in general. It's the most populous state in the United States, home to 1 out of every 8 Americans. Also, the state has a larger economy than all but 8 countries (US included). Being quite progressive, it's a given that California would be a solar energy leader. Indeed, it's the #1 state in terms of total solar power capacity. But what solar incentives are available to homeowners or businesses who want to jump into the solar market?
There are quite a few, so I'll run down these in a rather concise way with links to more information.
California Solar Initiative (CSI) Solar PV Rebates: Nearly used up, the residential solar PV portion of the CSI offers attractive rebates for solar PV projects installed in the state. A sister program is also in place for solar thermal systems and for solar on new homes. Despite the residential solar portion of the CSI being essentially used up, other state incentives combined with the now very low cost of solar power systems has kept residential solar in the state growing fast.
Feed-in tariffs: As mandated by a state law, California's investor-owned utilities and publicly-owned utilities have to develop and offer renewable energy feed-in tariffs for their customers totaling 750 MW of capacity (investor-owned utilities — 493.6 MW; publicly-owned utilities — 256.4 MW). If you're not familiar with the policy, a feed-in tariff allows an electricity generator (including someone with solar PV panels on their home) a specified rate for the electricity they generate for a specified period of time, often 15 or 20 years. The rate should be high enough that it provides the owners of renewable energy projects with enough profit to stimulate the targeted amount of renewable energy growth. Notably, if a customer participates in a feed-in tariff program in California, they cannot participate in other state solar incentives. Here are details regarding feed-in tariffs in the LADWP district and in Marin County.
Property Tax Exclusion: As simple as the name implies, certain types of solar systems can be excluded from property taxes through this policy.
Most of those places also offer similar rebates for energy efficiency projects. You can check out the full list of rebates here.
I know — all of that is a lot to navigate. Luckily, good and experienced solar installers in your area should have a firm grasp on what incentives you could and should apply for. Go through our quick and free system to get connected to an recommended solar installer in your area.
Over 1,721 solar companies employing over 43,700 people are located across California.
1,045 megawatts of solar power capacity were installed in California in 2012, more than any other state.
Over 3,761 megawatts of solar power capacity are now installed across California, more than any other state.
There's enough solar power installed in California to provide electricity for over 800,000 homes.
California has more solar power capacity installed than all but 6 countries.
There's no doubt that California will continue to be a solar power leader for years to come. The only question is whether or not you will be a part of that.
How much will solar save you in California? Find out in about 60 seconds!

In the KOMA Celuka process, special extrusion tooling allows for the cooling of the outer surface of the material while creating an intended cavity inside the profile. This cavity allows inward expansion of the cellular material, resulting in a trimboard with a hard, smooth outer surface and a strong cellular core. This process results in the hardest, most durable surface of any PVC building product available.
All KOMA cellular PVC trim products come shrink-wrapped in tight, thick, 2mm specialty polymer blend film that resists puncturing, tearing and zippering and is UV-stabilized for extended storage.
You'll notice an immediate difference upon delivery with no mars, dents or scratches on the product. Builders also love the KOMA difference as they nail, glue, drill, rout, and cut our PVC trim boards using regular tools.
While KOMA exterior PVC trim products are UV-resistant and do not require paint for protection, best practices would include painting to help clean-up installation marks and improve mildew and dirt resistance. The special proprietary sanded surface of KOMA Trim provides excellent adhesion for high quality 100% acrylic latex paint color less than #65 on the light reflective scale.
KOMA PVC trim products look, feel and work just like high quality wood, but are impervious to moisture, insects and just about anything else Mother Nature can deal out.
KOMA PVC trim board won't swell, rot, split, delaminate or cup, even under the harshest of conditions. The secret is Celuka extrusion process that delivers the hardest surface in the industry, and the most exacting thicknesses ever manufactured.
The Hard Choice is a great choice for building channel professionals and their clients.

Yes, the wind may be howling outside, the temperature's not a perfect 70 degrees but it's for sure that Spring is heading your way. You may be like my clients who suddenly have the desire to change things up a bit at home. Let me open the door to a new look with a few ideas to get you going today.
Change can be big or little. It can be a change in color for a space, or texture for a sofa, or new window treatments that are on your to-do list. Whatever the case, think about what you can do this month, to add that pizazz you've been needing and wanting for awhile.
Texture! Yes, texture can add so much to a room. Truly wallcovering is totally in style for today's homes. With all the interest in more linear sofas, wood and iron cocktail tables and more, you want to keep your home from looking sterile and blah.
The way to do that, to make your rooms stand out can be adding textural wallcovering like the one shown in the photo.
In other words, if the walls were only painted it would look 'nice'. Who wants just 'nice'?
And by the way, you may have noticed that the vase contrasts so well with the wallcovering.
Pattern. Yes, adding pattern to a room of solids will most definitely change the look of a room.
Now don't get too crazy with this, just a little goes a long way.
Ok, so you have my best advice for today, for this season. Mix things up a bit. Try color, texture or pattern and put that pizazz back into your life!


Air Naturel offers a wide range of humidifiers for different room sizes. Our humidifiers benefit from a variety of different technologies so you can choose the right solution to your needs.
It's important to understand humidity levels as optimal humidity is important for your general well-being and health. People tend to feel more comfortable when the relative humidity is between 40 – 60% to achieve a pleasant environment at home or work. If the air is too dry, a humidifier will improve the air quality and ensure you have a healthy environment.
Air gets especially dry during the winter when central heating is on every day and most people experience excessive confinement indoors together with poor ventilation. Room humidity can drop to 30% relative humidity or even lower.
Cool Mist or Cold Steam Humidifiers employ technology that uses high-frequency vibrations to generate micro-fine mist; they spread a fresh and healthy steam as the water is generally filtered.
Warm Mist or Hot Steam Humidifiers diffuse a purified vapour by boiling water, releasing steam and therefore moisture into the air. They spread a healthy steam in the room as the boiling process kills any mould and bacteria. The warm mist diffuses rapidly and spreads throughout the room.
Evaporator Humidifiers guide air through the moist fibre of evaporator cassettes. The air is moistened and blown into the room.
Air Washers humidify and clean the air using continuously rotating absorbent discs in the water.
For perfect control of humidification, a hygrometer is recommended to ensure you know exactly the relative humidity levels that exist in the room in question.
Proper humidification of the room reduces levels of dust, fluff and other types of allergenic particles.
Have a look at these explanations to help you choose the best solution for you for humidifying the air.


Strength training is much more effective than cardio.
Health and fitness expert Jillian Michaels says cardio is the least efficient form of exercise.
Strength training is more effective because it burns calories both during and after a workout, whereas cardio only burns calories during the workout.
After strength training, the body uses oxygen to return to its pre-exercise state.
This process, called excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, raises the body's metabolic rate and therefore burns calories.
It's easy to think of running as a quick, easy, and free way to get in shape.
After all, walking is a surprisingly good way to burn fat, so wouldn't running be even more effective?
According to Jillian Michaels, health and fitness expert and creator of the Jillian Michaels app, that's not the case. Michaels told INSIDER that "cardio is actually the least efficient form of exercise."
Michaels says this is because cardio is not metabolic, meaning it doesn't cause the body to continue to burn calories post-workout. Strength training, on the other hand, causes the body to burn calories both during and after a workout.
Strength training leads to EPOC.
According to Micheals, strength training — which can be anything from resistance training with weights to high intensity interval training— triggers excess post-exercise oxygen consumption, otherwise known as EPOC or oxygen debt.
EPOC refers to the body using oxygen to return itself to its resting, pre-exercise state. Michaels say this process includes bringing nutrients to the muscles, flushing lactic acid out of the muscles, and lowering heart rate. All of these actions raise the body's metabolic rate and result in calories being burned even after the workout is done.
Just how many calories you continue to burn, and for how long after a workout, depends on the duration and intensity of your workout. The more intensely you train, the greater your body's EPOC will be. According to Michaels, studies have found that calories can be burned for anywhere between six hours and 48 hours after training.

Cool. I like it. Looks good. This is a great trick.
Going to try and get the second piece a little lighter and compare. This one maybe darker than I like. Looks a little too tan.
Alright, the one on the right I watched for 5 minute increments for a while. Looks good. Less tan.
I figured it out. I scratch built the side strap loop parts.
Originally these goggles came with the Green/Yellow lens that the "Trench Troopers" have. Inside personnel use amber. I had to cut a new lens out of a large Trading card top loader and add an auto light tint film. I could not think of anything better for the plastic lens that was rigid enough yet pliable enough. After a couple tries I found the perfect amber filmcolor. Not to dark or fluorescent. Cutting and installing was a chore. I have enough film left for another try. Took me a few tries to get it without too many bubbles or cracks around the edges. This one has some spots from bubbles and I will cut a new one later. I ran out of plastic. Good enough for now though.
Another solution. I had to find a piece to cover up the open end and hold the prongs. I needed a corner piece of plastic. I found these old cassette cases I was using to hold dremel parts. I will have to find something else for storage. This is perfect because I will need to cut them out with a knife and it is nice and soft yet sturdy. Now to make another one.
Perfect. Now to sand the edges to size, paint, and reinforce or build up the bottom side of the loop parts around the prong pieces. Then install them.
Mr. Hemmings on Etsy. So perfect. Price ain't bad either.
Iron on with custom cut patch blank. The iron on process was a little rough but I salvaged it and sealed it with Mod Podge. Looks OK . Looks like It should be more of a regular fabric type patch with sewn edges but this is all I could come up with.
Comparing Far Away Creations and Wampa Ware suits for color. Wampa is a match. The Far Away suit is to dark to go with the vest.
Thanks for the comparison photo, and you look good!
Your costume looks awesome and congratulations on your approval.


I've tried thousands of marketing tactics, hacks, experiments, and tricks in my career as a marketer.
By far, the most effective marketing tactic I've discovered is Facebook Messenger ads.
Facebook Messenger Ads are a paid method of promoting your Facebook posts that invite people to open a Facebook Messenger conversation.
Ordinary Facebook ads invite people to click and visit your website or landing page. They're typically expensive, and you won't gain detailed information about your visitors.
Messenger ads, by contrast, launch a cascade of engagement.
Facebook Messenger ads rely on chatbots to handle engaging with your customers, following up with them, and taking them further down the funnel.
I'll cover all of that in detail in the sections below.
Let me give you an example of a Facebook Messenger ad in action.
If you're not familiar with Facebook Messenger ads, this will help you understand them better when you start making your own.
When they click "Send Message," it opens a Messenger chat.
That's it. The contact has entered your funnel and the ad is successful.
Obviously, there's a lot more to it than that. But that's the entry point for a Facebook Messenger ad.
From that point, you'll you can turn on the marketing magic with a MobileMonkey chatbot. MobileMonkey handles the automated qualification and lead engagement aspect.
Why Are Facebook Messenger Ads So Awesome?
I want to tell you why Facebook Messenger ads are awesome.
If you know anything about me, you know that I freaking love unicorns.
In my world, unicorns are marketing techniques that are thousands of times more successful than ordinary marketing tactics.
Only 1-3% of marketing techniques will ever be unicorns. But that 1-3% of unicorn tactics brings in 80% or more of your marketing success.
Because Facebook Messenger ads are unicorns.
Decide for yourself as you consider these benefits of Facebook Messenger ads.
Facebook Messenger ads capture all of a prospect's information.
In my opinion, this is one of the best things about Messenger ads: loads of intel.
I get all kinds of information on who messages my page.
Since I'm a data guy, this is really fascinating stuff. Obviously, I like having the bird's eye perspective, like these insights.
But I can also get detailed information on the individuals who message my Facebook page.
This is about to get ridiculous, but you have to believe me.
Look at this chatbot I set up. Not only did this individual engage with the bot, but he also gave me his full name and phone number.
That's incredibly valuable information. It would be really expensive to purchase information like that, but I got it for free.
If I'm really curious, I can even check out other info — what time it is where they are, where they work, where they're from, where they live, and even their Facebook profile.
You know as well as I do that a lot of people put their entire life information on Facebook.
Once an individual messages your page, you have the following information on them: first name, last name, profile photo, gender, location, time zone, country, and messaging permission (the ability to send push notifications back to that user).
Facebook Messenger ads have almost unbelievable engagement rates.
The engagement rates for Messenger marketing are shocking.
If you're used to email marketing, you might expect an open rate of maybe 7% on a really good day, right?
With Messenger marketing, you can achieve 80% open rates in the first sixty minutes.
I've achieved rates of lead acquisition that I've never seen in my other businesses.
And look at these growth rates that happened as a result.
In just a few months as a startup, we grew like crazy because of Messenger ads.
Facebook Messenger ads give you permission to contact the prospect later on without paying.
When someone starts messaging you, they are giving you permission to contact them.
Obviously, rules apply. However, the reality is, they are now a lead. You don't have to "retarget" them in the traditional sense. They're on your list, and you can message them.
To really turn up the heat, you can use chat blasting, another unicorn technique.
You can create a Facebook Messenger ad within Facebook Ads Manager, or you can do it through MobileMonkey.
In the MobileMonkey chatbot builder, click Lead Magnets then Messenger Ads.
Click "New Messenger Ad" in the next screen. Then, you can begin to create the content to send to your users.
Since Messenger ads are essentially lead magnets, you want to offer something irresistible to your users. This is the entry point to someone becoming a lead, and you want to make sure that your offer is enticing.
The Messenger Ad wizard creates code that you can then copy into Facebook Ads Manager to create the ad.
Congratulations, you've created your first Facebook Messenger ad!
Once your ad starts running and people start messaging you, you'll benefit from the enormous power of Facebook Messenger Ads.
Facebook Messenger ads are just the starting point. When someone responds to your ad, boom, you have a contact — a real, live, valuable lead.
What do you do with this lead?
There are plenty of options, all of which will effectively retarget your new contact.
In MobileMonkey, you can send your new leads a message (for free) within the first 24 hours and a second message later using a bot.
Drip campaigns are another powerful method of engaging your users and offering them even more value.
To create a drip campaign in MobileMonkey, select Marketing Automation → Drip Campaign.
Drip campaigns in Messenger are similar to email drip campaigns, except that the drip sequence is usually faster and has the potential for higher engagement.
Creating a Facebook Messenger chatbot sequence in MobileMonkey allows you to segment your audience as well.
You can create a bot that asks your audience qualifying questions.
If, for example, you are trying to attract marketers to your business, you can ask.
Based on their answer to this question, you can ask follow-up questions.
What is your Primary marketing objective?
If you were simply driving an audience to a landing page, as is the case with a traditional Facebook ad, your conversion rates would by default be significantly lower.
A landing page makes assumptions about the audience based on the ad demographic targeting. It presents an offer that will hopefully resonate with the target audience.
Chat marketing is fundamentally different. Instead of making assumptions, you tease out details about the target audience. These diagnostic questions segment the audience, allowing you to create a messaging funnel that will convert at significantly higher rates.
As I mentioned, a Messenger ad is just the first step in an entire interactive journey.
Most marketers simply aren't aware of the high-octane power of messenger ads, let alone how to take it to the next level with chatbots.
We're in a new era of advertising. Interactive experiences have displaced megaphone-style tactics. Facebook Messenger marketing using Messenger ads is a powerful way to expand your contact list, improve lead quality, and continue retargeting for maximum success.

VFW donates $10,000 to the USS Oregon Commissioning Committee
Laura Canida
State Rep. Mark Meek among attendees of check presentation to benefit crew of new submarine.
When the Navy commissions the USS Oregon later this fall, it will be the first to bear that name since the iconic battleship USS Oregon did 125 years ago.
However, when the Navy commissions a new boat, they can only pay for the commissioning ceremony. Associated events and ceremonies are paid through private donations. To that end, on July 27, the Veterans of Foreign Wars post serving Oregon City, West Linn, Gladstone, Clackamas, Happy Valley, Redland and Beavercreek proudly presented a check for $10,000 to the USS Oregon Commissioning Committee, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization through the Portland council of the Navy League of the U.S.
Approximately 28 people attended the presentation at the Oregon City-based VFW Post, including State Rep. Mark Meek, Clackamas County Commissioner Mark Shull, former County Commissioner Ken Humberston, as well as VFW Post 1324 members and auxiliary members.
"The Commissioning Committee for the USS Oregon was very grateful to the VFW Post 1324 who made such a generous donation. They join six others in making donations of $10,000 or more. However, the bulk of our donations are from individuals and companies donating whatever they can afford," said Jim Lasher, Co-Chairman USS Oregon Commissioning Committee. "We are all volunteers who are dedicated to providing the crew of (USS) Oregon a memorable experience as their boat is commissioned. The crew has worked very hard to bring the boat to this point in its life, so we are responsible for raising the funds to provide the memories," said Lasher.
From bulldog to Trail Blazers
The boat, which is one of the newest submarines, is being built in Groton, Connecticut at General Dynamics Electric Boat.
The original USS Oregon, parts of which can be seen in Portland's Waterfront Park, was commissioned in 1896 and was nicknamed "McKinley's Bulldog." The newest USS Oregon, SSN 793, will cruise beneath the waves as part of the Navy's fast attack submarine fleet. The flag for the Navy's newest boat (all submarines are referred to as boats) bears the words Trail Blazers, Mount Up!
"The USS Oregon Commissioning Committee appreciates the VFW Three Rivers post 1324 for giving us the opportundity to share with the people of Oregon the honor of having a second Navy vessel named for the state of Oregon," said Dave Vrooman, operations chair for the USS Oregon Commissioning Committee. "The VFW's generous donation of $10,000 to the Commissioning Committee will help give the members of the crew of the Oregon the traditional events that go back to the Greeks."
The sponsor of the USS Oregon, Dana Richards, is the wife of retired Admiral in Charge of Navy Operations, John Richardson.
For information on how to support the commissioning of the USS Oregon or to purchase memorabilia or tickets to the commissioning, visit the USS Oregon website (ussoregonssn793.org).

Intel has blinked in the growing controversy over its plans to include ID technology in its new chips. Even as several advocacy groups were calling for a boycott of Intel products, the company announced it is backtracking in how the technology, which could be used to track chip users over the Internet, will be deployed.
Several privacy groups were scheduled to announce on Monday a boycott of products made by Intel. The boycott was called by the Washington-based Electronic Privacy Information Center, a consumer advocacy group, and Junkbusters Inc., of Green Brook, N.J., a high-tech lobbying group.
Intel announced last week that it would put several security features in future processors, starting with the Pentium III later this quarter. One plan is to put processor-specific IDs on each chip that can be accessed by software and transmitted over the Internet. "Intel's proposal to put a unique ID code inside of every computer it sells will significantly reduce the level of privacy available to computer users around the world" JunkBusters said in a statement on their Web site.
But in an apparent bow to its critics, Intel announced Monday a change in how the ID technology will be used. Spokesman Chuck Mulloy said Intel has reversed an earlier decision, and that each machine will default to having the ID inactive. Before, Intel said the ID would automatically be activated unless turned off by the user. Still, early shipments of the chips will be still have the earlier configuration, meaning users will have to opt out manually. An EPIC spokesman said the boycott will continue until more assurances come from Intel addressing privacy concerns. Intel has pushed the tracking technology as a way to foster e-commerce and other online activities. Companies could require remote users to use the technology, while banks may offer more features to its customers that have processor IDs turned on. The ID could also help enable the ultimate in software copy protection, tying applications to a specific machine.
But groups including the American Civil Liberties Union raised red flags over the technology, saying it could be used to track consumers over the Internet. Intel has said it has no plans to match the processor IDs with names in a database. Boycott organisers will introduce a parody of Intel's famous "Intel Inside" advertising campaign, but this one called, "Big Brother Inside."
JunkBusters said it will work with other interested parties "to raise awareness of the risks of the feature, and why it is worth persuading Intel to disable it."
The boycott will be extended to other companies that use similar technology, the group said. On Friday, Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass., wrote a letter to Intel CEO Craig Barrett, suggesting the ID technology be rethought "to better balance both commercial and privacy objectives".


Nine years of a National Party Government pandering to separatist demands will be an issue that voters will consider in next year's general election, Auckland business manager Casey Costello said today.
Ms Costello who, with former National Party leader Don Brash, represents a new national campaign named Hobson's Pledge, launched today, [28 Sep 2016] said that successive Governments have taken New Zealand further and further away from the kind of country that most New Zealanders want – one where everybody is equal before the law.
Ms Costello, who says she feels driven to step forward for both her Ngapuhi and Anglo-Irish ancestors, made it clear that New Zealand was doomed to increasing racial resentment if we continued on our present track. Hobson's Pledge Trust has been established to oppose moves at central or local government level which would lock in constitutional preferences for anybody based on when their ancestors arrived in New Zealand.
"We will consider supporting any political party committed to ending such preferences," Ms Costello said.

Once you get to the page linked to below, search down for the items circled in the illustration below. The interview is broken into segments.

Prepare to be attacked by all of our racist bleeding hearts and grovelling politicians.
They managed to destroy the Conservative Party, now you will be the target.
Stick with it as there are many thousands of Kiwis right behind you.
Had to happen. So encouraging to see it. Nats opened the door to the current situation and so no surprises it has come to this.
Congratulations to Don and the Team – I shall send off my $100 donation today. Keep up the good work!
I wonder how long it will be before the Party of part-Maori racists start screaming racism at the Hobson's Pledge people?
So is 1Law4All going to merge with Hobson's Pledge? Why do we have to have another separate campaign making the same arguments, complicating everything? Did Don Brash and Casey Costello talk 1Law4All to discuss tactics before launching Hobson's Pledge? I admire Don Brash, but unfortunately he never comes over strongly in interviews with his short answers to questions. There is always such a vociferous PC backlash to anyone condemning our racist laws, such as Willie Jackson on National Radio's Morning Report this morning. Still the Hobson's Choice web site looks very good and slick, so that's a good start.
From what was said in the radio interview, they didn't want to go down the form-a-political-party track. Their comments seem to indicate that was in the too-hard basket. Seems they just want to be a fund raiser for whatever politician party promises to remove racist laws and references from NZ legislation.
When it comes to that, Winnie has a long history of talking-the-talk, but unfortunately, absolutely no history of walking-the-anti-racist-talk.
If 1Law4All gets of its backside and gets a profile of some sort in time for the 2017 general elections, at least they have one law for all as their founding and core policy. Does 1Law4All have a leader? Last I heard, it didn't. Maybe no one's brave enough or has the stamina necessary for the job? The part-Maori racist mafioso would be all over whoever it was.
1Law4All does need to get it's act together and get itself onto the ballot papers in 2017, at least. Then, if enough voters picked them as a party vote, maybe Whinlayson, Shonkey and the other racist rabble in the drone house would get the message? Maybe not, too – they seem as oblivious to democracy as the racist party of part-Maoris. And where the hell's Ansell, these days?
Noel Hilliam, is right they were about the fifth to arrive here, in 1521 30 Spanish ships stopped off at Hao Atoll where one of the ships picked up about 100 islanders the name of the ship that brought these islanders to New zealand was called TAI-NUI those people named themselves after that ship. There is a lot of false information about our true history that the people of New Zealand have had pushed down their throats.
The fact that Geoffrey Palmer (Sir)and other litigious legal advisors, at the direction of tribal lobbyists, have corrupted NZ's history is in retrospect an act of treachery promulgated against all NZ citizens. These people, who did it for personal financial gain and greed, should be brought to justice for treason.
A 'grave miscarriage of justice' occurred when Robin Cooke at law enacted Freeman's royal style text as the 'Treaty of Waitangi'. All NZ's should be encouraged to 'think and see te Tiriti o Waitangi' as our founding document. Te Tiriti o Waitangi can be proven to be the most 'inclusive, simple and understandable' treaty ever written. That document, in my opinion should be enshrined 'at law'.

Baylor's Shawn Oakman Intriguing Prospect In Draft
Stephen Czarda
While he certainly possesses some of the physical qualities needed to succeed in the NFL, Shawn Oakman remains one of the biggest wildcards in the 2016 NFL Draft.
Shawn Oakman burst onto the scene during a junior season that was capped off with him becoming an Internet sensation thanks to his intimidating stature.
2016 NFL Draft Prospects: Shawn Oakman
Check out images of defensive end Shawn Oakamn during his collegiate career at Baylor.
But the Baylor product had his fair share on-field success, too.
In four seasons for the Bears, Oakman, who is 6-foot-9, totaled 128 tackles (46.5 for loss) along with 17.5 sacks, seven passes defensed, four fumble recoveries and three passes defensed.
During the 2014 season, Oakman set the school record for sacks in a single season with 11 while being selected as a third-team All-American selection by the Associated Press.
But for all of his collegiate accomplishments and the physical size his possesses, there are questions about how Oakman's game can translate to the NFL.
In January, he tried to hush those concerns when he participated in the Senior Bowl.
"Oh man, it's a great opportunity to come out here with these coaches, come play with these guys, these top athletes, and just able to show the ability that God gave me," Oakman said. "So I give 100 percent thanks to God and 100 percent thanks to the coaches."
While Oakman didn't necessarily stand out on a stacked South Team defensive line that included Alabama's Jarran Reed, Eastern Kentucky's Noah Spence and Louisville's Sheldon Rankins during the week of Senior Bowl practices, he stood out during the game.
Oakman tallied two sacks and a forced fumble while being selected as the South Team's Most Outstanding Player of the Game.
"It's always good work," Oakman said. "Take the credit to the coaches, they taught me a lot over this past week and I just used what they gave me."
The next step for Oakman and 62 other defensive linemen is the NFL's annual Scouting Combine that takes place next week at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
While Oakman isn't expected to be a first-round pick and could very well be a long-term project for whichever selects him, he could do himself a favor by standing out at the Combine.
"The Bears pass rusher should consider the Combine his personal showcase," NFL.com's Chase Goodbread recently wrote. "After all, his reputation as a freakish athlete comes more from his weight-room exploits than his play on the field. That's what doing pull-ups with 120 pounds of iron hanging from your waist, and performing 40-inch box jumps while holding 70 pounds worth of dumbbells, will do for expectations. So with the body fat of a defensive back and the physical strength of a lineman, all eyes will be on the 6-foot-7, 269-pound monster in Indy."

Pupils can only be taught if they attend school regularly and punctually. Holy Cross expects parents to ensure the continuous and regular attendance of their children at school. A concern for regular and continuous attendance fosters not only recognition of the important value of learning but also of self-discipline, responsibility and reliability. A positive attitude to school attendance will be fostered by the school by making each child's experience of school worthwhile and hopefully enjoyable.
To encourage all pupils at Holy Cross to see the virtue and importance of high standards of attendance to effective learning.
To instill in pupils the importance of high standards of attendance and punctuality for success in life after school.
To offer information, guidance and support to parents in matters of attendance so as to maximise pupil attendance and punctuality.
To ensure a well understood and functioning system is in place which meets national and local requirements for pupil attendance at school.
Group tutors will be responsible for the monitoring of attendance of their tutor absence notes from parents and initiating correspondence with parents where children have returned to school without proper explanation, as defined by the current arrangements given to parents about authorised and unauthorised absence. Attendance details will be kept on computer which will be updated weekly. Students are expected to be in school at 8.55am for morning registration. All N marks are to be resolved by form tutors on a weekly basis. Students who arrive late without a valid reason will be expected to attend a break time detention on the same day. Three lates accumulated over time result in an after school detention on Tuesday or Friday evening.
Clear guidance will be given to tutors about the accurate completion of registration forms which will be taken at the beginning of the school day. Class teachers will complete registers at the start of each lesson. Registers will be monitored daily by the schools Attendance Improvement Officer (AIO) and supported by Year Heads and the Assistant Head Teacher. A text will be sent to any parents who have not informed the school of their child's absence on any given day.
Attendance figures will be published to key staff within school each week by the Attendance Improvement Officer, Mr Dooley. The Attendance Improvement Officer, will be responsible for carrying out a weekly analysis of attendance figures and following up any issues that arise.
Where this analysis reveals pupils with an attendance percentage of below 90% or more than five broken weeks in a term one of the Attendance Improvement Officers (AIO) will contact home to inform the parents of this. Parents are then offered support and new targets are set in an attempt to improve the figures using Attendance Contracts. External Agencies may also be used to support this process. Where improvement does not occur the AIO is involved and a target of 100% during next 20 days is set.
Persistent offenders are identified and the local authority is asked by the Assistant Head to begin the legal process of initiating warning letters to parents.
The Assistant Head will liaise with the Welfare Committee of the Governing Body in matters of attendance – furnishing this committee regularly with Attendance Statistics and the details of particular problem pupils.
The school will maintain and regularly publish attendance statistics as required by stature and also within the school via bulletins and newsletters, so that the importance of good attendance is kept at the forefront of everyone's mind.
The school will also endeavor to assist pupils with setting appropriate work to be completed at home when pupils for reason of longer term illness are unable to attend school. The school will also make every effort to liaise effectively with home tutors when home tutoring has been established. The guidelines set out by Shaftesbury High will be followed in consultation with AIO.
Pupils returning after lengthy absence will be monitored by AIO, Heads of Year and supported by tutors, subject staff and where needed the school's Counsellor, Chaplain and The Routledge Centre.
Issues of attendance and punctuality will be a standard agenda item at all year team meetings and all pastoral heads' meetings.
Subject teachers will maintain regular checks on class attendance and insist on good punctuality. Rewards are issued on a half termly basis for good attendance in celebration assemblies.
100% attendance certificates are given to pupils at the end of each term.
Certification of full attendance is awarded annually at the Awards Days.
Holidays are not authorised in term time.
Holy Cross expects its pupils to have enjoyed very high standards of attendance for its own sake and also for pupils' future needs. Every encouragement will be given to develop standards and positive attitudes and every effort made to ensure follow-up procedures to deal with lack of attendance as required.
Reviewed March 2018 Mr P.Morris

Soil fertility. Is your soil alive with an abundance of nutrients and microbial activity?
The success of any garden , farm, or lawn begins with the quality of its soil. Our role is to help best feed your soil so the soil can feed your plants.
Soil is not an organism by itself, but it has rich and manifold life in it. Organic fertilizers and soil amendments encourage this life in micro organisms and plant roots by promoting good soil structure through a wide variety of easily assimilated primary nutrients, trace minerals and organic matter. This enlivened soil structure will benefit tilth and allow for better aeration, water absorption and the unlocking of nutrients that stimulate plant and root development.
Remember, healthy soil produces healthy plants.


does somebody as has a good example for CSS shapes into webflow?
can polygon clippath be intergrated into webflow?
If you just need a section with bottom/top diagonal lines, you can use the border trick.
The easiest way to do this is with a simple div with 45deg. rotation. You don't need to skew the blue cover.
thanks @avivtech for the bordertip.
but how exactly works it?
Now a triangle.svg can change from width and height what is more correct to teach students.
https://prisonescape.nl is an example not made in webflow.
Solution for what? It looks like you figured it out really nice. no?
I tried your example but found a workaround for the problem backgroundimage 'cover': custom with 100vw and 100vh. But this should not be the normal behavior of the 'Cover' isn't it… because the section is also 100vw (block) and the height 100vh!
I found a solution to get the text in the right position: section 100vh relative, with a div 20vh absolute down: no I give only the div of 20vh a border the way you suggest: 100vw transparant and 20vh height with a color.
Thanks to help me out with the no-triangle.svg idea!
Also for the buttons: is there a solution the way shapeshifter works but than into webflow?
or only a div square turned?

Judge in Roger Stone Case Says She's Considering Gag Order
In a court filing Thursday, prosecutors with Robert Mueller's office said the FBI seized physical devices from his home, apartment and office
By Eric Tucker and Chad Day • Published February 1, 2019 • Updated on February 1, 2019 at 7:23 pm
A federal judge on Friday cautioned longtime Donald Trump confidant Roger Stone not to treat the charges against him like a public relations campaign or book tour, and said she may issue a gag order in the case.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said she had already noticed a significant amount of publicity in the case, including television appearances in which Stone has asserted his innocence.
"This is a criminal proceeding and not a public relations campaign," Jackson said, adding that "it behooves counsel and the parties to do their talking in this courtroom and in their pleadings and not on the courthouse steps or on the talk show circuit."
She said Stone may have "justifiably felt the need to get his story out," but his public statements risk tainting a pool of jurors who may ultimately decide his case.
Jackson did not immediately issue an order barring Stone or prosecutors from discussing the case, giving both sides until next week to weigh in. She said even if she did issue an order, the talkative political operative would still be free to opine on other matters.
"It would not be a bar on all public relations, activities or press communications, but only those related to this case," she said. "A party could discuss foreign relations, immigration or Tom Brady as much as they wanted."
Stone, 66, who was arrested last week in a pre-dawn raid at his Florida home, is the sixth Trump aide charged in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into possible coordination between Russia and Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. He has pleaded not guilty to felony charges of witness tampering, obstruction and false statements.
News from around the country and around the globe
Wearing a double-breasted pinstripe suit, Stone emerged from the courthouse after Friday's hearing and struck his two-handed victory pose in homage to former President Richard Nixon. He was then whisked away into a waiting vehicle amid supporters holding "Roger Stone did nothing wrong" signs. A protester held up a placard reading "Treason."
Stone made the rounds on television last weekend and held a news conference Thursday at a Washington hotel, where he said he was prepared to tell the truth to Mueller but he had no derogatory information about Trump, his longtime friend.
"I have great affection and remain a strong and loyal supporter of the president," Stone said.
He also said he was prepared to adhere to a gag order if the judge issued one but that he would likely appeal it. Among his lawyers is a noted First Amendment attorney who successfully represented the rap group 2 Live Crew in an obscenity court case nearly 30 years ago.
A seven-count indictment accuses Stone of misleading Congress about interactions with friends in which he discussed emails that were stolen from Democratic groups and in the possession of WikiLeaks. The anti-secrecy website released the communications in the weeks before the presidential election in an effort to harm Hillary Clinton's campaign.
But the indictment doesn't charge Stone or anyone close to the campaign of coordinating directly with WikiLeaks or having advance knowledge of its plans.
"I am not accused of Russian collusion, I am not accused of collaboration with WikiLeaks, I am not accused of conspiracy," Stone said Thursday. "There is no evidence or accusation that I knew in advance about the source or content of the WikiLeaks material."
In a court filing Thursday, prosecutors said the FBI seized physical devices from his home, apartment and office. They said multiple hard drives containing several terabytes of information have been recovered, including bank and financial records and the contents of numerous phones and computers.
Jackson also presides over Mueller's prosecution of former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and issued a gag order in that case after one of Manafort's attorneys addressed reporters outside the courthouse following his first court appearance.

Im wondering whether to go early on Sydney Stack!
Thanks, less is more evidently.
I have $235k available. Is B Scott to T Liberatore such a bad idea?
As long as it doesn't affect any structure you have and you haven't thrown trades around like confetti then it's probably a scenario you would do that sort of trade because it looks like you're one mdp/prem short and Libba is the obvious pick.
If you don't have the cash to do it, I wouldn't be using two trades to try and bring Libba in.
The answer may depend on how many trades you have already used as well as how the Sunday rookies fare in the Friday night cull.
Libba as a M8/M9 or stepping stone is one option.
Who are options if you look to trade Scott to a Premo Defender or Premo Forward via dpp instead ?
I'm going to drop "Mazda BT50" next week, he's been a sh!t performer so far this year.
Scott to Libba is more of an early luxury trade (only made one trade thus far), but could see some decent points come in (117 against Cousins' 75). Still torn on whether Libba will actually be top 10-15 mid come seasons end.
