We have been very impressed with the exceptional and professional service you have given us. Over the years we have bought and sold eleven properties through estate agents, but none have come up to your standard.
Harry and Margaret P - Seller
From the moment of appointment through to completion of our sale KFH provided a fabulous service. The open day in particular was extremely well managed and generated a significant amount of interest in our property.
Lee R - Seller
The entire team at KFH has been not only highly professional and impressive but also a great pleasure to deal with. Selling a house can be a very stressful time, but KFH has made the experience so far smooth, quick, trouble free and a financial success beyond our expectations.
Craig C - Seller
The team at KFH were second to none, providing clear advice and no nonsense guidance, essential in today's Battersea market. You were honest about the valuation that we would be likely to achieve and did not try to inflate the price. All in all, we were very pleased with the service.

Gaisburger Marsch is a traditional Swabian stew. And very tasty! The base: a hearty meat broth with beef and soup greens. The meat is cut into cubes and arranged on a plate with boiled potatoes and "Spätzle" (Swabian pasta). Then the hot broth is poured over it and the dish is served with golden-brown butter roasted onions.
To make the meat stock, rinse the beef bones in cold water and place in a large pan with 2-2.5 l cold water. Bring the water slowly to the boil and remove any scum immediately. Add the boiling beef and spices and some salt, and simmer the meat for about 2-3 hours.
In the meantime prepare the vegetables for the stock and for the hotpot. For the stock, wash the vegetables – carrots, celeriac and leek – thoroughly and cut them into small pieces. If you like, you can also add parley stalks and/or other herbs. Cut up the onions including their skins – this gives the stock a nicer colour. Peel the vegetables that will later be served in the hotpot, i.e. the carrots, celeriac and potatoes, and cut them up as desired, for example into thin diamond shapes or cubes. Cut the potatoes into small slices or cubes. Make the Spätzle dough – see recipe for Spätzle – and make the noodles. Remove the boiled meat at the end of the cooking time as soon as it is tender. Now add the stock vegetables and simmer for another hour. Then strain through a cloth in order to obtain a clear broth.
Cut the meat into cubes; this will later also be added to the hotpot.
Reheat the stock, season with salt and nutmeg, and reduce if necessary to obtain a stronger flavour. Add the potatoes and vegetables and boil.
Before serving, add the diced meat and Spätzle and stir to mix.
Serve with chopped chives and deep-fried onion rings.


This afternoon, Heidi made a house call in order to treat a new mom to a full body massage.
I'll admit, it was DIVINE!!
Orchestrating a sleeping Roscoe with Heidi's arrival required quite the planning on our end, but as she knocked at the door, I was just handing over to Andy a drowsy baby. Lucky for all of us, Roscoe slept for almost two hours, which gave me the uninterrupted time I needed to truly enjoy a little pampering, and also left time for an infant massage lesson at the end.
Baby Roscoe seemed to like his mini massage and I enjoyed the opportunity to learn from a professional; Roscoe can definitely look forward to more!
Maybe it was a good thing that she missed your Apt last time!! Now you got an in home massage and Roscoe got one too!! Glad you finally got one tho!


Do you want to add social share buttons to your images? Adding social sharing buttons to your photos is an excellent way to spread the word and get more eyes on your work. In this tutorial, we'll share how to add social share buttons in WordPress image galleries.
Social sharing helps you to display your photos to a larger audience through different social channels. Getting all those shares and increased traffic is also a good factor for search engine optimization. In WordPress, you can't add social share button to image galleries by default. You need to take help from a plugin like Envira Gallery.
First thing that you need to do is to install and activate Envira Gallery plugin at your site.
Need help with installing the plugin? You can learn here about how to install a plugin in WordPress.
Upon activating the plugin, you can go to Envira Gallery » Addons to install and activate the Social Sharing addon.
To access this addon, you must have Envira Pro or Ultimate license. You can upgrade your license here.
Once the addon is activated, you can create your image gallery to add social share buttons to your photos.
To create your gallery, you'll need to go to Envira Gallery » Add New. Simply add a title and choose your photos for the image gallery.
To learn more, you should check out this guide on how to create an image gallery with thumbnails in WordPress.
After adding photos to the image gallery, you'll see a message to configure Facebook and Twitter at the top of the WordPress backend page.
Go ahead and click on the Settings link. You need to go to the Social tab from top of the page. Add the Facebook app URL and Twitter username in the given fields. You can click the documentation links for detailed instructions.
Now edit your image gallery from Envira Gallery. You need to go to Social tab to enable it.
You can enable the social share button for thumbnails and lightbox separately.
There are multiple social channels to choose from. You can also set the position and orientation of the social share buttons.
Additionally you can scroll down to Advanced Settings to customize your sharing options for Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Google+.
Now that you've added the social share buttons to the images, simply hit the Publish button. You'll see a new widget in the sidebar with shortcode and some other information.
You need to copy shortcode from the Envira Gallery Code widget.
Next you need to go to Posts » Add New or edit an existing post. In the visual editor, simply paste the shortcode where you want to show this image gallery.
Make sure to update the post. Now go to your site to see the social share buttons added to your images.
That's all. We hope this tutorial has helped you to learn how to add social share button in WordPress image galleries. You may also want to check out our guide on 9 tools to create better images for blog posts and social media.

Just found out about this feature. Looking forward to using it in future projects.
Bought this product purely with the expectation that this would also allow a "Like" button versus the "Share" capability. Doesn't seem to have this. How can I achieve this?

Let's Paint the Green Frog at Papoose Lake! – Let's Paint Nature!
Remember the little green frog we found at Papoose Lake? He's so cute! My daughter named him Bart.
Bartholomew Green Frog from Papoose. Very fitting considering Saint Bartholomew's (one of the 12 Apostles) feast day is in August.
Step 1: I made a sketch with my pencil on hot press 140lb. watercolor paper. Always remember composition when you are sketching. Don't put your frog smack dab in the middle, that would not look interesting. Make sure he is off center and fills about 2/3 of the image area. This is most pleasing to the eye.
Step 2: Protect the aquatic plants and duckweed in the water with masking fluid. Let completely dry. I know this is a pain and it takes a while and all you really want to do is just jump in and paint, paint, paint, but CONTROL yourself! I feel that way too.
Step 3: Let's do the background first. Here's what I did: I wet the paper with clean water, except for the frog, and waited until the paper did not look shiny. Then I took a brown wash and painted the background. While wet I dropped in spots of dark blue and dark green. Next a LOADED my brush with dark blue and made drip marks (you know I love those!) on the paper. I again loaded my brush with dark green and dripped some of that color. Let dry.
Step 4: OK let's move on to Bart. I painted his little bright green spot with a yellow watercolor. Next, I took a red-brown and painted the lightest part of his body. When working with watercolors, you always have to paint lightest first, and then darker next. That is the opposite when painting with oils; darkest first, highlight on top last. With watercolors, our lightest color is the white of the paper!
Step 5: Adding darker colors (blue, brown and a little green) to the shadow areas.
Right at this point I had some negative thinking. I thought, what in the world is this going to look like? Bart looks muddy and overworked, maybe? But negative thinking is the enemy. Just the enemy speaking right in your head. Just as a side note, right now I am currently reading a book called, "The Biology of Belief", by Bruce Lipton. In short the book proves how environment (including how we think) controls your cells. Your genes are the blueprints, but they cannot turn themselves "on" or "off", the environment (physical and energetic) is the contractor. Cells can respond to our thoughts and perceptions. HOLY COW!
Do you know what this means??? NO more negative thinking! Ever.
Step 6: Adding darker colors. The green frog as opposed to the bullfrog has a dorsal-lateral ridge (that raised line) behind his eye and down his back. We will accentuate this later by creating very dark shadows underneath this ridge.
Step 7: Even more dark colors by adding blue, crimson, and green together.
Step 8: Now we are going to remove the masking fluid and paint the grasses and duckweed. I made some of the duckweed yellow and some yellow-green. The grasses were painted yellow first, then a darker green next while still wet.
Step 9: We need to make shadows under the duckweed and at the base of the grasses. Also make dark lines where Bart is half in the water and half out.
Step 10 Final: This is it! The last step. Here I took a micron pen and darkened Bart in the places he needed it. Next after everything was dry I used acrylic white paint to make highlights on Bart's wet skin and where ever the water touches his skin or grasses. HOT DOG it looks GREAT!
What if we let negative thinking win and stopped painting after step 5? This painting never would have existed. To tell you the truth, this may just be one of my best watercolor yet! Thank you God for helping me not believe in lies.
click here to purchase, it will take you to the available watercolors for sale.
I hope you enjoyed this step by step watercolor demonstration on how to paint the green frog!
Chris–you keep getting better and better with your watercolors. You have captured the moment here–I especially like the way the eyes look.
Wonderful transformation from sketch to the frog. Love it!
Yes of course..always love the step by step drawings..
This is quite a sweet one of this little critter!
Chris: Thanks! I hope by showing the step by step, that it is helping other artists with their watercolors too.
Great capture of the light on the frog!

Piers Morgan tells of Prince Philip's scathing put down over Britain's Got Talent role
He admits the Duke of Edinburgh 'had a way with words'
Jamie Roberts
Piers Morgan on GMB
Piers Morgan has told of how Prince Philip had a knack for putting him down.
The pair first met back in 1998 at Prince Charles' 50th birthday, but since then they've had a number of run-ins, including at the first Royal Variety Show performance by a Britain's Got Talent winner, Mirror Online reports.
In the Mail on Sunday, Piers wrote how "the word cordial only ever applied to a drink mixer" for Prince Philip.
Recalling his Royal Variety Show appearance in 2007, Piers revealed the differing reactions from Philip and his wife, the Queen.
He wrote about how winner Paul Potts "nearly self-combusted with joy and pride" when the Queen told him: "You were very good."
While Prince Philip wasn't as polite, he mainly directed his snappiness towards BGT's judges, Piers, Simon Cowell and Amanda Holden.
The Duke of Edinburgh asked the trio: "You're judges, is that right?" while he clenched Piers' hand.
When Piers confirmed, the Prince scoffed: "So, you lot sponge off him then?"
But it wasn't the first time Piers had encountered what he called the "legendarily waspish tongue" of the 99-year-old.
In the pair's first meeting in 1998, Piers told how the prince "glared at me like I'd just strangled his wife's corgis" when he found out he was press.
However, he completely understood Philip's reaction, who also stomped off before turning back and growling: "My God, you just can't tell from the outside, can you?"
Piers admits that he would have the same reaction towards anyone who revelled in and profited from the details of his family's personal lives.
The prince was laid to rest in a ceremony on Saturday with tributes continuing to flood in from around the world.

Why should you go to the grocery store and spend good money on bread crumbs? You shouldn't! You can save a decent amount of money with very little effort. The nice thing is knowing how fresh yours are. Give this super simple and quick recipe a try. You will never buy packaged again. This recipe yields a tad over 2 cups of brad crumbs. It's a very simple recipe that you can make in larger quantities. I make these all the time and always have them on hand. I made Chicken Parmesan and I was out so… I guess I have to make more! I hope you like this one!

The top 9 van life essentials.
Van life is becoming ever more popular and we can see why. Vans are a mobile home on wheels to take where ever you like, ready to pull up and chill out. Vans can be great fun especially the older classics, so many end up being named by their owners and almost become part of the family. If they are properly kitted out they are perfect for surf trips and getting away, so why not treat your van to some van life essentials.
This product should be included with every sale of a camper van, it's that useful! Those who own one or more Northcore "Hook Up" magnets would never be without them now as they're so versatile. The Northcore Hook Up hanger is a silicone rubber coated magnet with a 20kg pull strain designed to attached to flat metal surfaces allowing a whole range of hanging possibilities like hanging of wetsuits, towels, clothing and more.

The 10W speaker delivers amazing sound clarity with a thumping bass delivering sound through two 50mm drivers capable of producing 90db of volume. A great van accessory.
6. For surfers, open water swimmers and more a changing mat is a great accessory so why not upgrade to a Northcore Grass Mat. Our grass mat is a heavy duty, water resistant polyester changing mat, lined with 6mm of artificial grass which acts as a barrier to cold or hard ground when getting changed outdoors. It's perfect for van owners changing outside as the mat traps sand and mud keeping it out of your camper van.

Marvel's fourth phase of the MCU will be its busiest ever when it comes to TV series that tie into the movies we've all grown to love, and that's all possible thanks to the launch of Disney's own streaming service. The best part about this new strategy is that Marvel will use the same characters, and therefore the same actors, to broaden the scope of the MCU on Disney+ and tell more elaborate stories. And Marvel certainly needs more space given that it's going to introduce a slew of heroes in the near future, including many characters that weren't available to the studio until Disney purchased Fox.
Marvel already confirmed 14 titles for MCU Phase 4, six of which are movies, which means we'll have a busy 2020 and 2021 when it comes to new stories from Marvel Studios. If you thought that meant Marvel might be too busy to get everything finished in time following rumors that Hawkeye had been delayed indefinitely, we have some great news for you on Monday.
Marvel confirmed a few days ago that it parted ways with Scott Derrickson, who won't return to direct Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. We heard at the time that production for the sequel wouldn't be impacted, even though shooting is supposed to start soon. Then, over the weekend, Charles Murphy said in a blog over on Murphy's Multiverse that production on Hawkeye has been postponed indefinitely. The show was supposed to start production in July, but the studio had apparently removed it from the 2020 schedule:
Changes to the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe necessitated the production delay, which is not the first delay on Hawkeye. The cascading changes, which will allow for some plot points of the larger, ongoing narrative of the MCU to be introduced ahead of the series, have moved Hawkeye quite a way down the production list and, quite possibly, out of 2020 entirely. An indefinite delay does not mean it's the end for Hawkeye and might give time for Hailee Steinfeld, said to have been in negotiations for series co-lead Kate Bishop, to work out a way to fit the series into her schedule.
But Disney was quick to deny the rumored delay, MCU Cosmic explains. Two separate sources, including Caleb Williams from Knight Edge Media and The Verge's Julia Alexander, heard differently.
Sooooo #Hawkeye might not be on hold after all? Hmmm
— Caleb Williams (@KnightGambit) January 12, 2020
Williams said on Twitter that Hawkeye might not be on hold after all, adding that Disney told her the report was "completely inaccurate."
Hawkeye was originally planned to launch in the fall of 2021, starring Jeremy Renner and Hailee Steinfeld, and the TV series might mark Clint Barton's exit from the MCU as well as Kate Bishop's entrance. Unfortunately, we don't have any leaks yet covering the series' plot or the more significant MCU Phase 4 storyline that will connect Hawkeye to other Marvel shows and movies.

'Right to read' campaign launched (The Hindu)
by Radha Rao — last modified Apr 02, 2011 02:52 PM
An article in The Hindu, 29th September, on the 'Right to Read' campaign, launched on 26th Sept, in Loyola College, Chennai
Right to Read
CHENNAI: About 100 National Service Scheme (NSS) volunteers from various colleges in the State kick-started a 'right to read' campaign at Loyola College recently. The aim of the campaign is to make books accessible to persons with disabilities.
The speakers, who included the visually challenged, persons with low vision and dyslexia, said the Copyright Act did not allow persons with print impairments to convert reading matter using assistive technologies to accessible formats. Dipendra Manocha, executive committee member of World Blind Union, said: "We need organisations, individuals and volunteers to contribute and create accessible books."
Nirmitha Narasimhan, programme manager of the Centre for Internet and Society felt access to information would ensure a better contribution by the visually challenged to society. "It is not that we are insensitive. The suggestion for amendments to the Copyright Act has not yet been incorporated," she said.
Writer Sreekumar Varma, who inaugurated the campaign, recalled his experience as a scribe during his days as a lecturer. C.P. Chandrasekar, treasurer, National Association for the Blind, and Loyola College Principal Albert Muthumalai spoke.

Moving to New Zealand
November 25, 2011 by Barbara
This is the email that Craig sent to the last person who wrote to him before he died asking about moving to New Zealand.
Gidday
Yes, we've dealt with plenty of Americans in your situation. I myself am a native of Fresno, California. I came out here as a 21 year old in 1973. Americans who've come out here around 10 years or more ago thinking of this as a place to relocate, basically got grossed out and went back to the USA. All the perversions one worries about in the USA are here and a lot closer to the surface than in the USA. The Christian heritage here is very shallow and faulty…this place was settled by Anglicans mostly then Methodists and Presbyterians and RCs and Salvationists. The Christian veneer here is very thin. If you come, you must first have a bit of a missionary mindset, for you will find it is not just a bit different…it is quite a bit different in ways hard to pin down but which niggle away at you.
Our church denomination (Reformed Church of NZ) has found that American and Canadian couples coming out to be ministers of our churches find it hard to acclimatise to the culture…the wives in particular have a very hard time. Most, in fact, pack up and go back. North Americans simply have to leave many of our ways back home and learn to be like the NZers, well to a point.
Politically this country is a "Parliamentary democracy", same as Canada and the UK. Except that we only have one house of Parliament, not two. And almost no checks and balances. 10 years ago Helen Clark became Prime Minister and she marched this country very close to totalitarianism at a very fast rate. Her party was ousted at the last elections about a year ago…but the so-called conservative party that took over is going down the same path, just a bit more slowly. The one glimmer of good news is that part of the current coalition government is the ACT Party, who are libertarians. Say what we like, they do have small-government, low-interventionist policies.
All the social welfare and service-to-families type of organisations, both government and private (and there are a lot of them) are run by radical feminists and homosexuals. They have a firm grip on this country, but for some reason seem to be biding their time and moving slowly and with discretion. The opposition is small and quiet and they know it, so I'm not sure why they don't movemore quickly.
Having said all that, this is a land of opportunity. Only 4.5 million people in a country the land size of Colorado and stretching from San Diego to Seattle in relation to latitude. The bureaucracy here is rather laid back and believe it or not, reasonable by and large to deal with. Red tape is at a minimum and international rankings as a place to start up and run a business put NZ in the top 5. Taxes are not, in my opinion, as heavy as in the USA and a lot easier and more streamline. We are self-employed and have hardly paid any income tax in years. We do have GST (like the VAT in the UK), which is a built-in sales tax on every single item or service you purchase, with no exceptions. But you don't notice it, since it is built in. Americans have a more robust work ethic than here and think along wider horizons than most Kiwis, so you will most generally excel. You can become a large fish in a small pond rather easily.
NZers have a love-hate relationship with the USA. They are all secretly jealous of Americans, want all they have, but hate it when Americans say, "Well, shucks, back home we do it this way." They'll immediately tell you to go back home. Well, not to your face. Kiwis would rather die than have a face-off and cause offense. So they'll smile to you and talk about you behind your back.
Home education has to be one of the best environments in the world. More about that later.
It is still a bit like a frontier country…rough around the edges. Politeness and manners and all the social graces that one especially associates with the Old South are totally absent here. Egalitarianism is the number one given. It is extended to virtually anyone: homosexuals, drug addicts, prisoners of almost every stripe. Except pedophiles.
I have formed the opinion after 36 years of observation, that Americans who come over here as a family can easily isolate themselves: they create a little slice of the USA in their home and hunker down against the forces of New Zealandization pounding away just outside their door. I married a true blue New Zealander. We were both hedonists prior to conversion to Christ. And the Lord took hold really hard on us. And we are home educators. We are keen on personal piety and righteousness and holiness as well as keen on Calvinism and Post-Millennialism. These things put us so far outside most known pigeon holes, we are a real curiosity. We have plenty of enemies, even inside our own church. But we practise service to others and hospitality. And the Lord has allowed us through these things to develop a network of beloved brethren in the Lord, from all kinds of denominations, with whom we can withstand pretty much anything.
As we get more solid people, such as Christian home educating Americans and South Africans (these people are tough as nails!), there is a nucleus of people who could recapture this country and turn it around in a couple of generations. If you come here, you need to fight. The world and the devil are pretty ferocious here, it seems to me. Panama and Costa Rica and perhaps Agentina are good places to go where one can do his own thing unmolested for another generation or so. Maybe Singapore and South Korea as well. But all these other places have other sets of issues.
There is a group doing a bit to coordinate folks who want to consider NZ as a possible place to shift to. The man to contact is Geoff Botkin. http://westernconservatory.com/geoffrey-botkin
We also have contact with a sort of Anabaptist crowd, ex-Amish many of them, who have been out here and decided that this is the place for them. They are all moving out here, in three waves, about 12 families or so.
Anyway, I'll paste below some stuff I wrote recently for others. Don't hesitate to email with more questions. But do try to contact Geoff Botkin.

Mr & Mrs Smith,
We are a family of six who are concerned about the changes being made in our country (usa) and the "setting of the stage" for more serious events to come. We have been looking at different places to move to and resettle. We homeschool and are HSLDA members and found your contact information while looking at the New Zealand section of the HSLDA website. We have looked at the immigration information regarding New Zealand and know that it is difficult. I believe we could muster a 150 on the test, escpecially if my wife was to take classes and get her teaching license renewed. I currently am self-employed in Remodeling/Construction trades. Do you consider New Zealand to be a good place to homeschool, even in the future? This is one of the things we fear being taken away here. I'm sure this is not the first email you have received with this kind of questioning, as I continue to talk to more and more people who are getting very scared about what seems to be coming here. Many people feel as if it is becoming like Germany in the pre Nazi days, and they are seriously considering leaving before something happens like the Reichstag fire, or a terrorist attack and they grab emergency powers.
I understand that having a job offer is almost critical to being considered for residency or a work visa. Do you have any advice for finding a job that would be kind of open ended to allow for us to sell our home and get ready to leave here?
Thank you for your time and thank you for any information you can give!
Thanks for you email. It seems Obama has started a bit of a search by many folks in the USA for somewhere else to go.
I'm originally from Fresno, CA…came over here as a 21 year old in 1973 and been here ever since. My wife is a 5th generation NZer and our children are dual citizens.
NZ has plenty of religious freedom…just don't expect too many to take you seriously. If you are too up-front about your Christian convictions, don't expect to make much headway in looking for jobs, especially ones connected to the public sector (civil servants).
The state of the Church in NZ is pretty bad…a lot of fluff and bubble in the independent, seeker-friendly groups, not much substance. Traditionalism also holds sway in the established churches. We've got a small network of more serious-minded, Christian home education, entrepreneurial types, who are attracted to the Doug Phillips, Vision Forum kind of thing.
NZ strikes most Americans, once they've stayed here a while, as a bit rough around the edges, not quite as sophisticated as one would like, too egalitarian, too given over to placating radical feminism and the homosexual lobby, too thin a Christian veneer on the culture. Two or three families I know came over here to check it out and went back because NZ grossed them out with the stuff they'd see on TV and in the daily papers (not the tabloids, which of course, are worse).
I was convinced, in mid 2007, that the Parliamentary democracy we have here is a sham when the opposition National MPs (so-called on the right) crossed the floor of Parliament to vote with the left-wing Labour party and the even more radical Greens in favour of making it a crime for parents to correct their children (the anti-spanking law), even in the face of continued and vociferous opposition from 83% of the population. Polls still come out today saying 80% of voters are still opposed to this legislation, which came into effect in July 2007.
Parliament here has only one house, not two like your Senate and HoR. Half of the 120 Members of Parliament (MPs) are not voted in by the local electorate but are simple party hacks who get in according to the percentage that party got at the elections (we get two votes at election time: one for a local MP and one for the party of our choice). The Legislative branch is made up of MPs who belong to the Party gaining the majority of seats (plus the rest, who are then known as the Opposition and who, being outnumbered, are pretty useless). The Executive Branch is made up again of those same MPs from the Party of the Majority. That is, there are few checks and balances. And there is only the central government, no state or country governments to slow down the application of central legislation across the country.
Home schooling here has to be the best in the world…negotiate only once in a lifetime per child with the Min of Ed to get the Exemption from compulsory attendance, sign a simple statutory declaration in front of a JP every six months to say you're still at it, receive NZ$760 a year "allowance" that is totally tax-free and without any strings attached, and maybe get reviewed once every 4 years or so by the Education Review Office, a bureaucracy separate from the Min of Ed and who loves home schoolers.
Most Americans who come here, I reckon, would need to have a bit of a pioneer or missionary mind-set to cope with the differences. They seem small at first, but do become significant…socially, culturally and technologically.
Never hesitate to email. That's what we're here for.
In Christ's service,
The home education environment here has to be the best in the world…very easy to get what we call an "exemption" from the compulsory attendance law; once it is acquired from the Min of Education, you never have to deal with them ever again, except to sign a 6-monthly statutory declaration saying you are still home schooling, at which point the Min of Ed gives you a financial grant…money with absolutely no strings attached! There is a large and very active support network, both on the ground and in cyberspace.
Whoever said NZ$65,000 was breadline pay obviously lived in Auckland. We are on about half of that, and have been for 10 years. Then there are the tax breaks one gets from the "Family Support" tax scheme…it is basically a government top-up to your salary depending on how many children you have.
There are only 4.5 million people here. NZ is about the size of Colorado and stretches North-South about the same distance and latitudes as from LA to Seattle. It is underpopulated and there are many areas in which one with initiative could do some real development. Most of the population is around Auckland, ¾ of it is in the North Island and only ¼ of the population is in the South Island where all the space and scenery is. Many little country schools, sole-charge affairs, have houses attached which would come with the job as teaching-principal. You'd need to like the relative isolation. US preachers and wives who've come here with our denomination have found it a bit tough, the wives especially…there is, to an American's sense of propriety, a lack of sophistication and outreach, often a lack of "community" or even a desire for "community". To each his own. Kiwis keep their noses out of your business…to your face, anyway. They would rather die than cause offense to your face or have a head-to-head confrontation…unless you are good mates. At the same time, Kiwis love Americans and American ways and will cut Americans a lot of slack when they cross those unseen social barriers of propriety that one just has to learn about by trial and error…where they would not cut the same slack for someone from England or South Africa.
I was at the forefront of fighting the bill that has made it a criminal offense to "correct" your child. That includes spanking or as they call it here, "smacking". The Child Protection Agency here, known as CYPFS (Children, Young Persons and their Families Service). Over 80% of Kiwis think the law is a joke, but once someone who is fanatic about banning parental discipline tells the Police or CYPFS about you, life as you know it comes to an end. So far, they only seem to pick on easy targets, families with lots of baggage already, or those who were especially indiscreet about giving the child a smack. Home education is good because you don't have nosey teachers asking children what goes on in their homes and you can keep an ear on what your child and the neighbour child are saying to one another.
Ask yourself the hard questions: why are you interested in leaving the USA? What do you think you'll find here in NZ? Of course you may not have clear answers and the Lord may be leading without revealing too many specifics.
We have hosted a number of families who've come out from the USA thinking NZ is old-fashioned, agrarian and prim and proper. No it is not. It is (to most Americans) a bit unsophisticated and rough around the edges. The Christian veneer is a lot thinner here than in the USA and the Christian heritage is nowhere near as deep or as rich. Egalitarianism and socialism are thoroughly entrenched here…as are feminism and lesbianism and homosexuality…these last three seem to run all the social welfare organisations, both state and privately run, that have anything to do with families and children. Prostitution was fully legalised here two years ago, civil unions give legal recognition to homosexual pairings, going into bearing children without knowing exactly who the sire might be is a financially comfortable career choice for young girls, and when any kind of "couple" breaks up (or one dies) after 3 years, the goods are split 50-50 with whoever has the best claim at being the "partner", even if one is a legal spouse by marriage and the other is a heretofore unknown mistress or homosexual. Anyway, some of the families who've come here to get away from the USA got grossed out and went back.
Having said all that, NZ is such a small place, total population is 4.5 million in an area the size of Colorado and stretching over the same latitudes and the equivalent distance as from Los Angeles to Seattle. I came over here as a nobody and can now say I've had a nation-wide impact. Whenever two New Zealanders meet in London or New York as total strangers, as they get to talking they will inevitably find they have friends in common! This place is underpopulated and a land of opportunity for people with ideas for development in all kinds of areas. Obviously there are all kinds of wide open spaces, poke any kind of seed in the ground and it will grow, and anyone with initiative and a solid work ethic will do well. The serious Christian population is small and the social cost of identifying oneself as a Christian is more than it was a few years ago…it is near suicide if you get on the wrong side of child protection agencies, probably a closed door if you apply for jobs within government agencies such as social welfare or teaching, and only just tolerated politely by everyone else…except on on-line discussions where it is always open season on insulting and vilifying Christians.
The home education environment has to be the best in the world…for the present. Compulsory schooling stops at age 16. Bureaucracies are by and large still staffed by reasonable people who will wink at minor regulations when they see the pragmatic need to do so. I only know of one tiny fellowship who are clearly home education friendly (insistent) and family oriented. There might be one or two like that around, but they'll be small.
I reckon Americans who want to come here to live need a missionary mindset. Think multigenerational about re-building society and reforming the church as a pioneer who can no longer move west to find elbowroom, for all of those wide-open places out west are now filled up…so we have to hunker down where the Lord plants us and do the work of reformation and reconstruction. There are no Christian universities here, only state run institutions whose humanities departments are run and staffed by Marxists. The political spectrum of NZ is very narrow and it is ALL on the left. The ones most on the right, with whom a Biblical Christian might find some empathy in terms of public policy, are the libertarians. The political system here has only one house of Parliament, virtually no checks and balances and no state or county lines to slow legislation down from reaching every square inch of the country overnight. On the other hand, it is so incredibly open: ring your Member of Parliament on the phone and you can arrange to get a half hour of his or her undivided attention…do it every week if you like. Write to the head of any Government organisation and ask for copies of all correspondence on issue Y between dates X and Z and they are obliged to send it to you. When a Bill comes before Parliament, write a submission on it and ask to appear before the Committee in person, and you will be given an appointment to sit with the 5 to 9 Members of Parliament to put your case. Whenever you write or email, you DO get a personal response.
The immigration system here works on a points system..points for age, number of dependents, educational level, technical qualifications, job offers, investment capital, etc. Do a web search for immigration to NZ or immigration agents and you'll find plenty of information. Skilled and qualified workers in virtually every industry are in short supply, though the present depression has slowed things down. NZ has had a policy of bringing in refugees from all over the world for some years, which is nice, but the Muslims and Hindus and Anamists don't integrate or get evangelised effectively…and some of these groups are getting more militant about wanting special privileges and allowances to maintain their cultural ways. On the other hand, many are moving here from South Africa, top quality people who are tough as nails, many of them Christians. We need more of such people, and American Christian home educators fit the bill! As we have large numbers of children and home educate them, we WILL take over in a couple of generations simply by our superior demographics of life and future-oriented discipleship instead of death and self-centred pleasure.
NZ is also a place about which to be concerned. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child has been here for years and was used in 2006-7 to make it illegal now to correct one's own children using any degree of force whatsoever…that is, spanking is a criminal offense here.
Radical feminism is very strong here because this country has had a strong egalitarian streak since the early 1900s. Homosexuals seem to run many institutions, and one was appointed as Minister of Education by the Labour Government last year, just before they were voted out. He is gone, praise God, but left a lesbian as head of the entire educational bureaucracy. She could be there for years.
The top censor for the country is a homosexual…the #2 in charge is a lesbian. Do they ban films and books? Yes…those which are critical of sodomy.
We have no written constitution, but only British common law precedent, which more and more is being written out of legislation here. All together, we have very few political checks and balances. In 2003 the NZ Prime Minister said, "The role of the Government is whatever the Government determines that role to be," and no body noticed!
There is a very shallow and weak Christian heritage here and the Church is mostly froth and bubbles, pursuing personal peace, prosperity and pleasure while waiting an immanent rapture which, they are all convinced, will happen before any proper persecution breaks out.
NZ is still a bit of a frontier country, most Americans finding us a bit unsophisticated and a bit rough around the edges. You'll see and hear stuff on TV and in national newspapers you would never expect to see on US TV or newspapers.
Having said that, NZers have a good healthy skepticism of bureaucracies and law enforcement and ignore them when it suits them. Bureaucrats here are still mostly reasonable people, not trying to protect their little kingdoms. It is changing, however, and the bureaucracy is growing and being staffed more and more by people not raised here.
I grew up in California in the 1950s and 1960s, but I've been here 36 years now. The USA is not the country I grew up in. NZ is not the country I first got to know back in the 1970s and early 1980s. NZ has only 4.5 million people, so is underpopulated and under-developed. If enough sensibly-minded Christians with a long-term vision for evangelism and seeing Christ's rule extend to every human institution as well as every human heart, NZ is probably the easiest country to re-take for His glory…speaking in human terms, mind you…all things are possible with God.
Americans with initiative and their generally broader horizoned-outlook on life can do well here in business and other areas of innovation. NZers rather like Americans, though they won't ever say so. Americans can get away with a lot that Pommies (those from the UK) and Ozzies (Australians) can't, because everyone here already knows Americans are loud, rude and ignorant (this is the caricature I trust you are familiar with, for it is world-wide). As soon as you open your mouth and they hear your accent, people here generally just assume you are used to handling lots more money than they ever see, that you are used to owning and managing lots more property than they'll ever own, that you are used to living in huge cities, negotiating innumerable traffic hazards, laws, shopping options, TV stations, business transactions and bureaucracies of every sort while always managing to dress and groom like a movie star, with perfect children. But they also assume you know nothing about NZ and its ways, so you can ask all the dumb questions and go somewhat against local conventions and not be shunned or cold-shouldered straight away. But you better learn some local ways quick, and never let yourself say, "Shucks, back home we did it this way." They'll just tell you to go back home…and they'll mean it.
The home education environment here has to be one of the best in the world…very little in the way of hoops to jump through, plus for the past 20 years, home educators have received financial grants from the government, totally string-free! If you want to hide and be left alone, NZ is probably one of the better places, for it seems to me the bureaucracy to keep track of you is not nearly as aggressive or eager…yet…as the bureaucracy in the US. If you want to make a big name for yourself and have a national impact, that too is easy, and it probably protects you somewhat from ever being a target of the bureaucracy. Red tape here, I've seen international ranking organisations say, is one of the lowest in the world. You'd probably want to come over with a missionary mind-set, understanding that things are different here, Christians are thought of as kooks, but tolerated, and stay-at-home wives and mothers who've come from the USA often find it particularly difficult to fit in here at first.

Q: Uncertainty principle when the expectation value of commutator is zero I'm reading section 4.3 of Introduction to quantum mechanics written by David Griffits.
The book states that the product of the standard deviation of two components of angular momentum is greater than or equal to the expectation value of one component of the remaining angular momentum multiplied by half of h-bar. I learned that the z component is related to the magnetic quantum number, but if m is 0, can the x and y components of each momentum be obtained respectively?

A: No, the fact that $S_x,S_y$ cannot be measured simultaneously follows from the fact that $[S_x,S_y]=iS_z\neq 0$. This is so because this implies that you cannot find a shared (complete) eigenbasis for $S_x$ and $S_y$. In other words, there simply isn't any state that has a well-defined value for both $S_x$ and $S_y$. As you can notice, nowhere in reaching this conclusion did I have to refer to the expectation value of any commutator.
Now, what the Heisenberg uncertainty principle provides is a lower bound on the product of uncertainties of two observables for a given state. If this lower bound is zero for a given state then it doesn't imply that the product of uncertainties of the two observables would actually be zero for that state. It only implies that the statement of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is trivially true for the given state. To reiterate the point, a lower bound for a quantity $x$ simply means that $x$ has to be greater than or equal to the said bound. It doesn't mean that it will be equal to the said bound. You'd need to have an upper bound as well that is equal to the lower bound to say that $x$ must be equal to the value of the lower bound.

The old stone fortress and tower along one of the tributaries of the Greendraught river almost certainly had a name at one point. Something dark, ominous and with much gravitas like Orothon's Spire or The Dark Hold. But these days there's not much reason to try to fortify something along the Greendraught – it isn't a border region for any major kingdom, nor a tactically important river crossing or any such.
So the old fortress has fallen into disuse, and is known for its obvious architectural flourishes as "The Demon-Faced Tower". Probably because it has two different stone demon faces projecting from the sides of the tower proper, with balconies in their mouths.
The whole structure is in poor repair with moss covering many areas, and the doors are only decent because they've been replaced recently. The problem is of course that it just makes such a perfect headquarters for some evil up-and-coming dark sorcerer or demonologist. Who knows how many have tried launching a career of dark magics from this place over the past century or two.
Thus, it has become the home of an order of druids who ignore the iconography, and instead enjoy the irony of the whole structure being gradually taken over by moss and vines. They also serve to keep would-be dark overlords from setting up base here.
Freak'n amazing dude, and you just keep getting better.
I check out your maps all the time, but I thought I'd finally chime in on this one, because I have a special fondness for dark and demonic towers, suitable for wicked sorcerers. This is a *particularly* nice one, and may well see use in one of my campaigns – so thanks greatly for that!

The Cast of 'The F**k-It List' Plays 'How Well Do You Know Your Co-Star?'
"We spent like a month together!"
By Bianca Rodriguez
It's the unofficial summer of streaming, and Netflix (opens in new tab) is releasing shows and movies so good it's no wonder we're sitting inside rather poolside this season. One of those being the teenage comedy, The F**k-It List, and here at Marie Claire, we're obsessed!
The movie follows a high school senior, Brett Blackmore (Eli Brown), who's always stayed under the radar and followed the guidance of his parents. He's the valedictorian of his class, was accepted to seven out of the eight Ivy schools (duh!), and can play a mean clarinet.
So, when a senior prank goes terribly wrong (like accidentally-blowing-up-your-school-wrong) he decides to take the blame for it. He's subsequently expelled, and all except one of the colleges he's been accepted to withdraw their offers of admission for the fall. So, he decides to create a "F**k-It List," listing a range of things he wishes he'd done but was too afraid. The list goes viral shared by teenagers who feel the same everywhere.
