Sometimes you have requirement to open the particular type of new record with some default values already filled. This can be achieved by passing the field values to the query string.
To open the new record form
Pass field values as query string parameters
If you need to pass the multiple field values then just append those field-value combination string at the end with the "&" as a separator.
Note while generating the URL you need to take care of some characters. Instead of directly placing the character you need to use the ASCII code for that character. Below table will provide you with the list of mostly used characters while creating URL. You should prefix the "%" character before the ASCII code.
Now below example will give you an idea on how to generate URL for different type of fields, the name of the field (i.e. schema name) must be specified in lower case only.
(Blue is the actual field name and its related attribute name like for lookup there are 2 names and brown is the actual value)
Below is the total URL with all above field values passed to the new contact form,
Hope this helps!

Oh Great Spirit of our ancestors
We come before You and Grandmother Moon and Grandfather Sun
With the offering of love, prayer and sacred tobacco
And with the smouldering of sage and sweet grass that Mother Earth provides
With peace in our hearts and desperation in our souls
We ask that you judge not the men who prosecute, defame and attack us
We ask not that you bring your wrath down upon those who wish to do us harm
We ask only that you reach into their hearts and offer them the blessings you give us
Peace for others and true understanding and respect of Mother Earth
We ask that you help them to see beyond their politics, lust for power and avarice
So that they might understand the consequences of their actions
We ask that you take what you must from us to make Mother Earth strong enough
To defeat Her enemies, to survive this great threat to all creatures who live within Her bosom
Allow them to hear the sweet song of the wind and feel the true blessings of what lays beneath them
We ask for all who stand against oppression and annihilation to show your support
Come be with us to make history , for if we do not stand, history may no longer be written
We are the people of the Earth. You are the people of the Earth.
Fight with us. Pray with us. Stand with us at Standing Rock

There are going to be a gang of great movies in the upcoming months. This fall hosts the 2nd movie directed by Angelina Jolie, the first movie by Chris Nolan since The Dark Knight trilogy, and the last on-screen role of Robin Williams.

QuickBooks now has the added capability to assign discount per line item in sales forms (i.e. invoices, sales receipts and credit notes). This is in addition to transaction level discount that was already available.
Discount by line item is available only in forms of the type Invoice, Sales Receipt, Estimate and Credit Note.
Here's a demonstration that'll help you enable line level or item-wise discount from an invoice.
To enable line level or item-wise discount, do the following.
- Click the gear icon and select Company Settings.
- In the left panel, select Sales.
- Next, click the section named Sales form content.
- Enable or tick the option named Item-wise discount.
- Click Save and then Done.
You may also perform the same action from an invoice.
- Click the + icon and select Invoice.
- Click the gear icon on the top right of the invoice.
- In the drawer that slides out from the right, enable or tick the option named Item-wise discount.
To use line level or item-wise discount on an invoice, sales receipt, estimate or credit note, do the following.
- Open the sales form, i.e. invoice, sales receipt, estimate or credit note.
- In the Product/Service column, select an item that you would like to bill your customer for.
- In the Discount column, enter a discount percentage or a discount value.
- If 25% is entered in the Discount column, QuickBooks will compute the discount to be 25% of the value displayed in the Amount column. For example, if the Amount column displays 200 and Discount displays 25%, the Total discount from this line item will be 200*25% = 50.
- If 25 is entered in the Discount column, QuickBooks will take it to be the total amount of discount. In this case Total discount from this line item will be shown as 25.
I do not see the Discount column in my printed invoice, sales receipt, estimate or credit note.
- Please click the gear icon and select Custom Form Styles.
- Against the style named Standard, click Edit in the Action column.
- Click the Content tab.
- In the preview on the right, click the section in the middle.
- The Columns list will be displayed to your left.
- Ensure that the field named Discount is checked.
- Click Done.
Where will this discount be tracked?
Discount given on sales will be tracked in the account named Discounts given. This account also tracks transaction level discount.
I do not see an item wise discount column in my Sales by Product/Service Detail report.
Currently, discount given will be listed as a separate row item in the report. You will be able to identify it by the transaction number (i.e. the invoice number or sales receipt number). The Memo/Description for this row will read Discount.

How to get relief from post-pregnancy backpain?
We all know that having a baby has wonderful benefits (aside from lack of sleep!) and during the carrying stage the mother goes through extra pressure on the spine due to the baby load and extra weight etc. However not many discuss the post backpain issues that come from carrying a baby about, sleeping badly and breastfeeding.
Points to consider:
- Stand – and sit – up straight.
- Pay attention to your body position when feeding your baby,- nursing or bottle-feeding. Choose a comfortable chair with armrests, and use lots of pillows to give extra support to your back and arms. If you're breastfeeding, consider buying a breastfeeding pillow that goes around your middle. Also try using a footstool to keep your feet slightly raised off the floor.
- Learn to position yourself properly while nursing, and always bring your baby to your breast, rather than the other way around.
- Try different breastfeeding positions. If you have tense shoulders and upper back pain, the side-lying position may be most comfortable.
- Always bend from your knees, and pick up objects (and children) from a crouching position to minimise the stress on your back.
- Let someone else do the heavy lifting, especially if you had a c-section.
The main thing to remember is that you must look after yourself as you need to keep healthy for your little one. Painkillers should not be taken when breastfeeding, as can transfer to baby via milk and are not effective for backpain in any case (only masking the symptoms temporarily, not dealing with the causes.
The best and safest way to get relief from back pain is spend 5-7 mins a day on the Backrack at home, it gives you a break from caring for the baby and some well deserved rest (for a few minutes at least!) , try doing it when you baby is asleep and your general well being will improve and give you strength to carry baby and get through the days without pain.

it's been a while since i've made myself a 'to-do' list, but after the jumbled, all-over-the-place craziness of the last several weeks it's high time i make myself a list and stick to it. would you care to keep me accountable?
the week ahead:
1. create a communication chart (photo proof to come later)
2. learn about the myers briggs personality test w. chels.
3. do some form of physical activity 3 different days.
4. finish one full book.
5. go to the farmer's market.
6. try a new food.
7. read 2 chapters in radical.
8. paint fingernails pink.
9. order photo prints to frame/hang.
speaking of numero 9…this duo of photos brought major joy to my heart monday morning. my ceej has mad skills when it comes to editing photos and i do believe i will be framing both "edits" of this particular shot — 1) for my nightstand. 2) for my desk.
you're a stunner, carly jo.

I have... run twice.
Thursday night I did c25k week 5 run 3. I have plotted myself a new route because I was getting fed up with the route I had before. It was short enough that I was having to do it twice to fit all of c25k in and that was getting boring. My new route is far more public and has me passing a lot more people.
Friday night I went out just for fun. Yes the words 'Michelle', 'run' and 'fun' all came under the same category. I went out for the first time without my ipod and after 5 minutes walking I just ran. No timer, no company, no programme. I ran for about 13 minutes. I felt great afterwards because it's the longest I have run 'under my own steam'.
I have... tried to remember that this is a long journey not a quick fix.
I think I was starting to get a bit impatient with how slowly this is going. I could make it faster but that would involve very strict eating plans. I am not going down that road. So what if it takes me longer. I can take my time and I will get there.
I have...
Told pretty much everyone I know that I am running a 5k next month and a 10k next May. It's out there now. Everyone knows I now go running.
So it's a short list of haves but I am going to concentrate on those at the moment. The I haven'ts will get there. I will make sure they do.

Drones like the Drone X pro have got to the coolest invention to hit us, and though I never thought I'd get a drone for myself, let alone my kids, the bug bit, and it bit hard!
A drone, that super cool, high-quality quadcopter is a great investment. Whether you are buying it for kids – it boosts their fine motor skills and filming or getting it for work – it adds value to the production process, you will never regret an investment in a drone. The best bit is that you don't have to break the bank.
Wondering how we came to this simple conclusion? Well, a few months back, and after months of nagging and postponing, we finally decided to order a drone for our son. And since it was one of those things you are careful not to lose money over, we went with a slim budget. Delivery day and a few minutes assembling and trying to figure it out; we knew we'd made a great decision. Let's just say that we are getting another one soon.
Perhaps you are thinking – it can't be that good – it's just a drone!
Understandably, you cannot buy a drone blindly. You have to be careful about the features of the drone; it's quality, safety, and intended use. These are the reasons why the search for the best drone is always a challenge.
So, what sold us on this DroneX Pro? It carries all the features one looks for before buying a drone and comes at a low price, not to mention the fact that you don't have to register the drone with the FAA, it carries a host of other features.
DroneX Pro :Detailed Review of for USA,Canada and other coutries
DroneX Pro is a foldable mini pocket drone that comes fitted with an HD camera. It's super lightweight and competes with heavier and larger brands effortlessly. So, if you have been dreaming about a drone with a mini camera, one that fits in your pocket and versatile, look no further. Forget selfie sticks and embrace the pocket drone! A breakthrough drone design anyone can fly.
What is it made of? What makes it a superior brand?
It's a Pro
Looking at its price tag, you cannot imagine using this drone for any work. However, one look and shot reveal a powerful and professional drone. Its fitted with an in-built pre-programmed camera with shots like the asteroid shot and boomerang shots. With the least possible technical prowess, this drone delivers professional-quality footage at a simple click of a button.
The simple design of this drone's pro-ultra-wide angle camera shots makes capturing moments easy. If you have been looking for a device that delivers high-quality footage of you and your kids from the air, you might want to consider this drone.
You might like that this drone records videos in HD quality at 120 frames/second while taking photos at high resolutions of up to 12 megapixels.
The other exciting video and photo taking feature is in the form of its Panorama mode. You can take 360-degree photos with the drone flying up high, with the click of a button. The camera combines multiple high-quality images into a crystal clear panoramic photo in only 3 seconds.
Is that all the camera offers? Fortunately, no. It has a slow-mo function that replays the highlights of your adventures in HD slow-mo.
Foldable Design
As mentioned above, this is a drone, unlike many others. It has a portable/ foldable design that's made possible by the inward-folding propellers. If you are traveling or walking across a huge field, you don't have to worry about how and who will carry the drone. The foldable design also serves as the drone's protection mechanism.
The drone comes with spare propellers although you may never need them.
Gravity Sensor
Are you scared that the drone will hit the ground crashing, seconds after you try to fly it? The designers considered this problem since It's common with older designs of drones. To protect your drone from crashing, DroneX Pro comes fitted with a gravity sensor. The sensor detects obstacles and the ground, changing the course of flight to prevent collisions.
Longer Flying Time, Faster and Further
Tired of the drones that give you 5-minute flying time? How about a stretch to 12 minutes of uninterrupted flying? DroneX Pro will let you fly and film continuously for 12 minutes. You don't have to change batteries or touch the ground during this time.
For its size, this drone is the fastest. It flies at 12 meters per second and boasts a high transmission distance of up to 2km. Don't expect to outrun this drone, and you can push it to its limits.
Easy Controls
A drone is as good as its controls. Your ability to make edgy maneuvers and to fly in windy weather depends on how well you can control the drone. Fortunately, this drone comes with high-end and easy controls that make flying a breeze.
The controls bear all the features that satisfy the pros, yet simple and easy for beginners to fly and control it.
Then, there are preprogrammed functions which enhance the use of this drone further. Also, its 3-speed mode enhances the control of this drone.
Lightweight design
This is the other reason why this drone is highly regarded. It has a compact size but still powers through as well or comparable to its competitors lying on the larger and heavier side.
This design feature comes from the drone's precision engineering which makes the drone ultra-lightweight and superbly robust.
Durable Design
Despite the lightweight design, this drone has a high-quality and robust design. The matte finish prevents slipping.
Ease of Use
Flying and taking photos or shooting videos with this drone is its other exciting bit.
To set it up, you first need to install an app by scanning a QR code in the manual. Once that's done, plug in the battery, start up the app, then connect the drone. Your drone will be ready and airborne in about 10 seconds. And with the simple and intuitive controls mentioned above, you can look forward to an exciting time flying the drone and filming all those epic adventures.
Just to give you an idea of how easy the controls are, the drone has buttons on the left and right.
On the right, you have the 360-degrees flip-flop mode/ the emergency Stop, the High/Low button, Fine Tuning Safe Right, Fine Tuning Forward, and Fine Tuning Backward.
On the left, the One Key Landing, One Key Take Off, Photos/ Video, and Handless Mode/ Return Key buttons.
These buttons and control systems make for fluid maneuvers, regardless of your level of flying experience.
The use and control of this drone are enhanced by the use of Precision Flight Performance Technology.
Drones are meant to be expensive – they are not your ordinary toys. However, this drone goes contrary to expectations with its low-price tag and unmatched functionality.
3-Axis Gimbal Stabilizer
This drone features a hidden, high-quality 3-axis gimbal that stabilizes the drone's camera even at its highest speeds maintaining the sharp and high-image quality and jitter-free video streams. This stabilizer ensures that you don't worry about real-time transmissions in a windy environment.
Automatic Flight Assistance
The other unique feature of this drone is its intelligent flight modes. These functions allow a safe landing, easy tracking of objects and people, as well as detection of obstacles and maintenance of flight altitude. This intelligent system also allows for cool spins, flips, and 3D spins.
Testing The Best Drone
If you are looking for a drone that promises the highest level of functionality, you should read about and test the drone's speed, stability, responsiveness, obstacle avoidance, and how accurate the safety features are. Don't forget the photo and video quality of the camera.
- It's affordable and gives you value for your money
- The controls are easy to use and allow fluid maneuvers
- It has a powerful camera that takes HD photos up to 12 megapixels while recording videos at high speeds of 120 frames per second
- Easy setup, with a simple configuration to its app.
- It has a high transmission speed and flying speed of about 12 meters every second. It has a top transmission distance of 2km.
- The gravity sensor prevents collisions
- The battery life isn't long enough for actual professional work
- You may have a few shipping issues, especially when making an international order. You might want to account for customs fees.
Before buying a drone, you should look at its battery life, whether it has smart flight modes or not, presence or absence of range controllers, and the drone's stability in the air. DroneX Pro might be your high-end drone, but it has everything you are looking for. With its foldable, lightweight, fluid controls, long battery life, anti-collision, and durable design, it promises exceptional flying, whether you are an experienced flyer or a beginner, a kid or an adult.
With demand for this drone at an all-time high, it's a great drone that doesn't break the bank; you might want to get yours soon. The prices might go up.
With the drone's easy flying, you can finally concentrate on taking more stunning photos. You never have to miss a moment.

I have been approached recently by a couple of our landlords asking if I thought they should incorporate their property portfolio (put it into a limited business) to avoid paying additional tax. They had read articles in the press that suggested that this is what most landlords are now doing.
Many landlords will have been affected by recent tax changes, and more are likely to be affected in the future, so this is a legitimate question – but is incorporation really the best solution for everyone? Not being a tax adviser myself, I contacted my own accountant Richard Reeves, of Morgan Hemp Accountants, Swansea, to discuss the pit-falls.
What are the New Tax Changes for Landlords?
- End of the Wear and Tear allowance (furnished properties previously benefitted from a 10% tax allowance)
- Restricted tax relief on the interest/charges element of buy-to-let mortgages (tax will be due on the interest element of a buy-to-let mortgage)
Unintended Consequences
Richard explains, "While the measure only affects higher and additional rate taxpayers, this bracket includes a significant amount of landlords. The new legislation will result in more landlords being pushed into higher rates of tax due to the way the relief on mortgage interest will now be calculated under the new legislation. This measure also affects those residential landlords who are more highly geared i.e. with a medium to high percentage of mortgages/loans." Below is an example of how the change would affect a landlord with a &40,000 per annum employment and a rental portfolio which is highly geared:
|Before Changes(2016/2017)
|After Changes(2020/2021)
|Employment Income
|Gross Rents Received
|Other Rental Costs
|Loan Interest
|Taxable Rental Profit
|Gross Taxable Income
|Personal Allowance
|Tax Due, Basic Rate @ 20%
|Tax Due, Higher Rate @40%
|Less Interest Relief @20%
|Next Tax Liability
The underlying rental profit is unchanged at &10,000, but the tax payable increases by &18,400. &4,400 of this increase is due to loss of the tax free Personal Allowance as, in this example, the taxable income is now &120,000 rather than &50,000.
Other Consequences
There are other potential tax consequences as a result of the change in legislation:
- The High Income Child Benefit Tax Charge may have to be paid if the taxpayer is in receipt of Child Benefit and taxable income exceeds &50,000.
- Student Loans repayments will increase as a result of the increase in taxable income.
What is the appeal of incorporating, and what are the risks?
The legislation changes only affect individuals and not limited companies (this is where all the excitement to incorporate property portfolios has come from). Limited company landlords can subtract mortgage interest costs from their rental income before calculating their corporate tax. This option is certainly attractive for higher rate tax payers with a large portfolio and big mortgages. However, this option needs to be considered very carefully. Some not-so-obvious issues and pit-falls to consider are:
- Capital Gains Tax when incorporating.
- Stamp Duty Land Tax when incorporating.
- Higher lending rates for companies than individuals (e.g. BTL mortgages vs. limited company mortgage borrowing)
- Additional administration costs (accountancy fees) of running a limited company.
- Ongoing extraction of profits and proceeds from property sales from the company.
- Tax on dividends (the money you take out of the business) currently at 7% over &5,000
- The Government may decide in the future to change the way that incorporated property businesses are taxed, thusly closing this loophole.
Making a Decision
Being a buy-to-let landlord is a business which means, as with any good business, you need to plan for tax. What concerns me is that many landlords still don't know what these changes mean for them, and don't know how these changes will affect them, if at all. It is crucial that landlords who haven't already sought advice on how the changes may affect them do so now. Even though the legislation has already come into effect, there are still steps that can be taken to mitigate and reduce additional tax burdens.

In March 1998 the club celebrated its fortieth birthday with a party. 100 people, mainly past members, came to re-live those memories. Amongst those present were founder or early members Harold Bennett, Peter Oxborough, Derek Blount, Ted Miller, Keith Martin, Geoff Smale, Phil Menzies, John Stallard and even the original owner of the house, which became the clubhouse, Ray Skyrme. I know this was a great occasion for many of those ex-members who had put in so much effort into the club's early days. In May the club was honoured by the Council with a Civic Award for Voluntary Service to the Community.
Pictured - the 2013 STACK Winter Champs
The Murrays Bay Winter Championship first ran in August 1997. The school year at this time was divided into 3 terms, so the break between 2nd and third term was earlier in the year. Hence the regatta was named the Winter Champs.An entry of 256 boats across an incredible 17 classes reflecting the changing face of yachting:
|12' Skiff
|Laser Radial
|Mistral Imco
|OK Dinghy
|Optimist Open
|Farr 3.7
|P Class
|>Laser II
The regatta still runs annually, with the biggest fleet recorded being 295 in 2007. A key component of the regatta is the Winter Champs Coaching days, where sailors from around the country get to take advantage of a top coaching environment for the first two days of the school holidays, followed by the regatta. Of course now it's a 4 term year which means the regatta has moved to later in the year. Still called the Winter Champs, but the weather a bit warmer than it used to be! It remains a popular regatta to shake out those winter cobwebs.
The P Class was at the peak of its powers in 1996, when MBSC conducted the Tanner and Tauranga Cups in January, the organising team led by Murray Thom. Knowing it was going to be huge, the plan was to base the event on the reserve at Rothesay Bay. Long story short, the Resource Management Act put paid to that as sailing was not an 'existing use' at Rothesay Bay and would take months to approve. The biggest fleet ever - 168 yachts - squeezed into Murrays Bay and sailed the contest in near perfect conditions. See the length of the start line in the photo above! The Tanner Cup was won by 12 year old Mike Bassett of Torbay BC, with Murrays Bays' Kevin Borrows winning the Tauranga Cup with a 1,5,1,17,9,1 record. Scott Pierce and Carl Peters, also of MBSC, finished 3rd and 4th respectively. See the story from the March 1996 Sailing New Zealand Magazine. Page 1 | Page 2 | List of vital stat's of top 15 placegetters.
Early in 1994 a sponsorship was arranged with Yamaha. In return for a very good deal on outboard motors the club agreed to change the name of its boats from R1, R2 etc standing for Rescue 1, to Yamaha 1, Yamaha 2 and so on, thus ending a long tradition stretching back almost to the formation of the club.
The 24 hour race was starting to run into a few problems. It was still far and away the clubs major fundraiser and even this was not considered to be enough. Expenses were also escalating and it was felt an urgent review of the financial side of the event was needed.
David Charlesworth brought his family business Comworth Systems on board with their OKI brand and it was given the name The OKI 24 hour race. With commodore to be, Murray Thoms in charge, the event had a new vigour and in the season 1990 –91 it raised over $45000. From this had to be taken the expenses but nevertheless the cash input was substantial. The 1991 race was won by Hamish Pepper and Dean Barker. The club was in the happy position to be able to give significant grants to sailors who were travelling overseas and this was channeled through a special fund known as the International Travel Fund which was set up under the guidance of Glenys MacKinlay the chairperson of the Ladies committee.
New Commodore Rod Slater started in mid year, and in September 1991 an extraordinary general meeting was called to adopt a new constitution the first update since the original in 1957. No sooner was this done than the club had a special planning day to chart the future direction of the club. This in turn resulted in some further changes to the constitution in particular the change of name to Murrays Bay Sailing Club. It also adopted a new logo and club colours. The stylised logo started out on a blue background, but was often mistaken for the Blue Peter so was changed to white.
It was felt this removed the club from the era of its beginning when it concentrated as much on fishing and motorboating as it did on sailing. The club also adopted its mission statement that -: "Murrays Bay Sailing Club aims to provide young sailors with the best possible environment and opportunity to sail fast and achieve excellence in the sport of centreboard sailing".
Rod was Commodore through to August 1993, and in 1994 his son Dan became the IYRU Youth World Laser Champion in Marathon, Greece.
With the Optimist starting to make inroads in to the New Zealand junior sailing psyche, the club LTS program got a huge boost in 1990, with the donation of 4 Optimists by Don Senior Boats Ltd.
Throughout its life the clubhouse underwent several modifications. Late in 1987 Council approval was given for an internal refit, and to extend the deck and build in the Tower at the southern end. In about 1980, under the deck had also been built in providing more boat storage and 3 x roller door access - 2 on the front, 1 on the side. In 1992 the southern boat storage area was added on as a partnership with Water Wise at a cost of $51,000.
Due to the now poor state of the Phoenix class (ex Rothmans Father & Son), the December 1987 24 hour race was changed to Lasers. This was a move which was to inject a new lease of life into the contest as many of the Nation's top sailors now sailed lasers. It was also decided to have special sails made and a tender of $11352 for 40 sails was awarded to Lidgard Sails. These sails were to be signwritten in the logo of the sponsor.
Late in 1987 two hard working members Bev and Phil Davies were made life members. This couple who are the only married members to be made life members in their own right had been involved in just about every aspect of Murrays Bay sailing club over the last 20 years They had no fewer than four sons, Len, Mike, Phil and Ramon each of whom was a brilliant sailor, pass through the club. Their P class was Mintie P69 which was always painted light blue and was passed from son to son with continuing excellent results. In January of that year their youngest son Ramon winning both the Tanner and Tauranga Cups. In fact the minutes show that Murrays Bay Sailors occupied the top 10 places in the Tauranga Cup.
On our High Achievers page you'll see Ramon, now more commonly known as Ray Davies, pictured bringing the Americas Cup home from Bermuda, 2017.
The 1985/86 season was the first year that an official club photo was to be taken at the prizegiving and that years picture shows, amongst others, a very young Nik Burfoot and Dean Barker already making their mark. It also shows Geoff Senior who was the first sailor, to put Murrays Bay on the Tauranga Cup. They were part of the team that helped Murrays Bay win both the Tanner and Tauranga cups, the Wihau Shield and every available P class trophy in Auckland as well as having 5 in the top 10 of the Starling Nationals that year.
At the start of 1986 Geoff Senior gained second in the Tanner Cup and 7 of the top 10 boats in the Tauranga Cup were from Murrays Bay. Conscious of the successes the club was having it decided to have some honours boards made. These were made by Bob Senior and were to record past Commodores, Life members, winners of the 24hr race and those who had achieved high awards in Yachting. It was not until 1998 that in fact the latter was sign written due to the huge amount of research needed to make sure no-one was left out. The criteria were set that those mentioned should either be current members of the club or sailing under the club's name in a class sailed at the club and become either World Champions, as recognised by the International body (ISAF) or Olympic medal winners. By the year 2000 this amounted to 13 names representing 17 events in 7 different classes.
In 1984 pressure came on cigarette advertising and Rothmans were unable to continue their support of yachting. This also meant the Rothmans Father and Son class changed its name to the Phoenix but it also meant a loss of income to the club. This was not a problem at this stage because the club was financially comfortable, indeed the club was stretched to overflowing.
All the female entrants at the 1983 Tauranga Cup at Murrays Bay.
The Tanner and Tauranga Cups involved a fleet of 108 P class and the list of helpers included Alan Sayers, a long time supporter of junior yachting, Steve Moses with the Torbay Boating club patrol boat, and even the RNZYS who loaned their Scott Colville committee boat. The Tanner Cup was won by Craig Monk representing Auckland East with Murrays Bay's Scott Adam second. The Tauranga Cup was won by Steve Cotton from RNZYS which must have produced some excitement on board Scott Colville, with Scott Adam and Nik Burfoot of Murrays Bay 3rd and 4th, which was not a bad result with only two entrants per club allowed. First girl was Nicole Stevens of Herald Island, (later Nicole Harden of Torbay BC), second place Barbara Kendall and Harold Bennett's daughter Carla third. Fourth was Jenny Egnot of Christchurch, who returned to MBSC in 2014 for her two sons to learn to sail.
See all the Tanner and Tauranga results on our P Class Nationals page.
December 1982 and the 24 Hour Race is still as popular as ever, as outlined here in Sea Spray Magazine. It was won for the third year in a row by Paul Meo, this time with Bruce Watt.
Over the winter the old Rescue 1 which was built in 1965 was replaced by a brand new purpose built launch which was donated by Wilson Boats in memory of Brin Wilson. Brin and his sons Bob and Richard were behind one of New Zealands first major international offshore successes when they built Pathfinder and won the 1971 Sydney-Hobart race, helping the NZ team to win the Southern Cross Cup with Runaway and Wai Aniwa. Sadly Brin died in October 1974 aged just 50.
But Brin's name lives on, not only on the patrol boat, but also in the boat's radio call sign, heard just about every weekend in the summer. Launched by Wensley Willcox, wife of Commodore Peter Willcox, to an audience of 500 members she was dressed overall with flags and it made for a proud occasion.
Read the Brin Wilson boat building story here.

Birdman competitions were all the rage and the Murrays Bay Wharf was a perfect location. MBBC were supporting on the water for the huge crowd that turned out on 29th January 1977. The event was reignited with great success in 2017 and again in 2018.

The Starling class yacht was conceived and commissioned by John Peetof Glendowie in the late 1960s. At the time there were no single-handed boats available to teenagers for bridging the gap between the P class and the adult Finn, OK, Cherokee and Zephyr classes. A stepping stone class was required.
Des Townson, the designer of the successful Zephyr, Mistral and Dart yachts of the period was approached to design the boat and he completed this in June 1969. To confirm the simplicity of the construction concept, teenager David Peet built the prototype as his first boat-building project. The Starling was launched at Westhaven, Auckland on Anzac weekend 1970. Today, the John Peet Trophy is awarded to the National Champion.
Starling first appeared at Murrays Bay in late 1971 and Gordon Gilberd became the first Starling Class rep. 47 years later, in 2018, the Starling still attracts the crowds and is generally the second biggest fleet after the Optimists. The 2018 Winter Champs had a fleet of 32.
With all the previous plans not making the grade, due to local opposition, and the club still operating out of the basement of the old Outram Hall, suddenly a new opportunity arose. Early in 1970 the Club was offered Mr Skyreme's 3 bedroom house on the beach front (513 Beach Rd). The finances weren't available so it was sold to a Mr McGlashan for $19,000. But by mid 1971 it was up for sale again for $30,000. Keith Martin was Treasurer, and he negotiated to buy for $28,000. The RFS account had reasonable funds, but with several other funding sources there was still a small shortfall. Geoff Smale stepped in and underwrote the purchase underlining his commitment to the club, and earned himself a Life Membership. So Murrays Bay Boating Club became the proud new owners of a club house on the beach, and to this day one of the few freehold Yacht Clubs in New Zealand. It was still conditional on planning approval to operate as a Yacht Club, so in the mean time it was rented out for $120/ month.
Amongst those on the House Committee doing this work were Harold Bennett, Gordon Gilberd, and Stu Brentnall. Later this decade, Stu was to become a leading light in the One Ton Cup with a series of revolutionary Bruce Farr designs - first Jiminy Cricket, winning it in 1977 with the centreboarder The Red Lion in Auckland, and then taking Export Lion to Germany the following year.
Another interesting 21st Century postscript to this story...Mr McGlashans nephew started sailing Starlings at MBBC in the 1980's. While still a member, he won 3 Hobie 16 National Championships in 1986,87 and 88. This was Dave 'Daisy' McGlashan. Following on, Daisy's eldest son Blake, sailing for MBSC, won the Tanner and Tauranga Cup double in Plimmerton, sailing P171 Battle Cry, and then the 2018 420 Worlds in Newport with Seb Menzies.
There are many many other instances where the MBSC story crosses family generations.
All the commercial activity from the RFS brought in the extra funds the club needed for a clubhouse. In 1968, a scheme was suggested to create 1 acre of reclamation to the North of the wharf with a groyne built out to protect it from severe Easterlies. The club house would be built out on stilts with a concrete apron to be added later. There was to be a 41 x 30 lounge which opened out onto a sundeck facing the sea. A committee room, games room, kitchen showers toilets and even a bunk room were included.
Following a public meeting at which some objectors put up some acceptable suggestions the clubhouse scheme was changed and in October 1970 the pictured scheme was published. The club house was built into a cutting halfway up the Taharata headland with the reclamation at the base of the cliff. Originally access was to have been via Portal Place but after residents objections it was made as a continuation of Torquay. Large chunks of the cliff were to be excavated to create a road way and the waste rock would help form the reclamation. This latter scheme was more acceptable as it meant the clubhouse would be lower and not obstruct other residents' view. Also access by vehicle to the launching area would be much less steep and so would the walk to the clubhouse.This was to become the "Rothmans New Zealand Yachting Centre". The cost was put at $80,000 of which the club had $14,000.
In October of 1968, the clubs first Olympian Geoff Smale with Ralph Roberts took part in the Flying Dutchman class in the Mexico Olympics. They finished 8th out of 30.
In the NZ Olympic Trials it was Smale and Roberts who got the nod from the Selectors after a convincing win in the trials conducted at Pakatoa Island, which was then a holiday resort.
The eighth in the Olympics at Mexico did not reflect their true ability, as many expected the duo to take a medal at least. However it was the year of Rodney Pattison and crew Iain Macdonald-Smith (GBR) who came onto the FD scene in the super-boat Superdocious and were a level above the rest of the fleet.
In 1968, Smale was awarded the Sir Bernard Fergusson Trophy as New Zealand Sailor of the Year for his win in the Olympic Trials and for his development of the Rothmans Father and Son class.
By Christmas 1966, 30 kitsets had been sold. Rothmans not only backed the design and prototype but assisted financially to help clubs get their first boat. By July of 1967 there were 45 boats and Bruce Malcolm was inspired together with Harold Bennett to introduce the 24 hour race in the class.
This was a race which lasted for 24 hours, sailed on Lake Pupuke in sponsored boats. A pair of sailors, or threesome for the girls teams, shared the sailing. In rough weather they would sail two up but preferred to sail in shifts in order to get some rest, warm up and get some food. Elaborate lengths were taken to look after the sailors with food supplied by the ladies committee and caravans and tents a short way off to the side to sleep in. A board showing how many laps each boat had done kept the large number of spectators informed as they came and went during the course of the event. During the night boats were rigged with small electrical lights, not so much to illuminate the position of the boat but so that organisers could identify boats cheating by rocking when there was little or no wind.
The 24 Hour race continues today as the OKI 24 Hour, raced in Lasers and is a major fundraiser for the club.
Photographed 13th March 1967. The East Coast Bays is well on its way as it converts from some far flung holiday homes to the population centre it is today. Things to note :
- the wharf that is 3 versions prior to the 2018 one.
- the road access to the wharf - this was known as 'Torquay'. Lots of parking available here!
- the house that was to become the first Clubhouse
- the original Outram Hall, with the club still operating out of its shed and basement

Murrays Bay Boating Club was looking for a new class of boat - one that was light and manageable, easily built at home, and targeted at Father and Son sailing. The result was the Rothmans Father and Son, with the hull designed by Brin Wilson, and the rig by Olympian to be, Geoff Smale.
Smale had been a long time stalwart of the Murrays Bay Boating Club, and was a key member of the team who developed the club from a beach boating and fishing club into one of the major forces of New Zealand sailing. One of his projects was the development of the Father and Son class, which was designed for the purpose which its name suggests, capable of being sailed by a father and son and also used with an outboard for fishing or being rowed. Smale developed a radical rig for the craft which featured a pre-bent mast and fully battened sail, which also rotated and was held in the boat by just three stays. It looked unorthodox but worked superbly.
The RFS as the class became known was also sold as a kitset, through Farmers chain of retail stores - with a cleverly engineered building system that used the delivery crate as a building base.
The first boat was launched Sunday 17th July 1966.
At the start of the 1964/65 season, the committee decided to sell Miss Nance and build a new rescue boat. This was to be a John Spencer 18 foot Sabre design powered with a 40Hp. The boat was built under Dave Cox's house, and launched in 1965, known as Rescue 1. The name reflected the main job of the boat - rescue, as the races were still generally started form the wharf, as in the above mid 60's photo. This boat operated all the way through to the launch of Brin Wilson in 1982.
Murrays Bay's longest serving Commodore started his twelve year reign in 1964. He took over from Derek Blount, and handed on to Jack Shorthouse in 1975. Dave even came back for more in 1978/79 when Commodore Colin McKnight moved to the South Island, and Dave stood in for the remainder of the term.
By September of 1961 enough money had been raised to purchase the Miss Nance, a kauri, carvel built 16 footer with 5 ft 6 inch beam and powered by a fully marinised Ford 10 motor. She needed painting and this was to proceed each weekend until the official launching day which was set as 11.45 on Sunday October 22nd. The boat was to be painted in the club colours but there was some disagreement as to what this entailed.
Eventually she had a white hull with a lemon cabin with a black band and pastel blue inside.

We haven't dated this photo yet, but clearly taken off the Murrays Bay wharf at race start.
Q2, Ada, has returned from Sydney where she sailed the first 12 Foot Interdominion in 1957. She was originally built and sailed by John Sharp with John Lasher, but taken to Sydney by Ian McRobie. She was likely the first Q Class to have a trapeze.
Sail No 55 is a Kitty Cat - a 12 foot catamaran designed by Jim Young. The first one was built by John Peet of Glendowie, and easily won the second 12 Foot Interdominions held at Glendowie in 1959. Catamarans were banned from that event there after! Peet's boat was painted red and had a cat cartoon by Minhinnick on the sail. Could this be the original boat, perhaps in training with Ada before the 1959 Interdominions?
A Cherub in behind G79, and a collection of NZ Moths - the 11 foot Scow - are older designs, the first Moth designed in Australia 1948, and the first Cherub by John Spencer, from Torbay Yacht Club, in 1952.
In 1958 Whilst the majority of the action had gone to Browns Bay the local lads, amongst them, Keith Martin, Peter Oxborough and Eddie Miller with their two Zeddies and an Idle Along, continued to sail from Murrays Bay and it was Mrs. Nina Smith, joint owner of the corner store which stood where the carpark is now located, who suggested that the boys form a sailing club. Founding members included Bill and Nina Smith, Harold Bennett, Ron Pook, Dan Mason, Cyril Francis, Ted Miller, Bryan Smith and Graham Smith and they held their first meeting at the Smiths house. A further meeting was held at the home of Ray Skyrme the original owner of what is now the clubhouse and between 30 and 35 people turned up. This was clearly enough to start a proper club, The Murrays Bay Boating Club, and at the third meeting a full committee was elected.

Several of these names are still with us on some of the older trophies sailed for each year, with most of the recipients being totally unaware of their origin.
Meanwhile in the bay great progress was being made. Such was the density of the traffic that road safety had become an issue. Car speeds were excessive and "Watch for Children" signs were contemplated and it was even envisaged to build a new road. The old searchlight base which was the original site of the Tai O Tea starting box had been tidied up and the Progressive Association was considering building another shop in front of the Hall to boost income.
The Murrays Bay Boating Club's (MBBC) activities included yacht racing, motor boating and fishing competitions. Gala days were held to raise funds although the club's first one was rather poorly attended due to the lateness in the year.
On March 26th 1959 Peter Oxborough wrote to the Council to officially inform them of the existence of the sailing club and requesting permission to operate from the beach. This was agreed to and Council promised to arrange a rigging area for boats. This turned out to be the area now occupied by the public toilets with trailers to be left across the road. With the Council supplying the materials and supervision and the club the labour, a concrete and wooden boat ramp was built on the same site as the current one.
Murrays Bay 3/1/1951 Whites Aviation
Murrays Bay was a scattered collection of houses gathered round a rather untidy beachfront in 1949, when at a December meeting of the Murrays Bay Progressive Association (MBPA) a Mr. Bennett first suggested a carnival and regatta. The MBPA which was formed in 1941 was the residents and ratepayers organisation and as such was responsible for running many community events.
Whether the regatta took place is not recorded but by March the next year a boating club was being formed and the area behind the beach where the playground now stands had been taken for reserve and was the intended land base for the boating activities.
The MBPA had a hall known as Outram Hall which they had built through public subscription and this was used for a formation meeting of the new boating club. Unfortunately only 16 people turned up and this was considered insufficient, but an arrangement was made for boat races at Easter.
From this activity a boat club was eventually formed. The records show it was called the Tai O Tea Boating Club which seems strange as that is the name of the stream at Waiake further up the coast. With the support of the MBPA a small starting shed was erected on the disused base of an old searchlight turret which stood in the corner of the beach. The base is still there today, but is largely covered by grass since the bank was re-landscaped in 1999 It can sometimes be seen just peeping out from the top of the bank right in the NW corner of the beach.
No doubt the lawn was very attractive in this otherwise rather wild environment. The area, which is now the rigging area and playground, was bush, and the rest of the reserve was a rough sandy bank with a few small phoenix palms on it. The large Norfolk pine at the Northern end was about 5m high. Some of the large trees on the waterfront were only planted on June the 2nd 1953 to celebrate the Coronation and gorse had to be removed from the side of the unsealed road to improve visibility. There were vacant sections through from Bournemouth Tce to the beach although the little cottage belonging to the Robinsons, which stood next to the club for so long was already in place. The sailors found it very tiresome bringing their boats over these rough roads and coupled with the hassles from the MBPA over boat storage decided to remove their activities to Browns Bay. Eventually in August 1966 they combined with Torbay Boating Club which seems very appropriate given their name association.

Let's take Trump into the realm of the Matrix and show him what is actually going on. The good news for Trump is that 90-95% of the Character Assassination is a "Matrix Based Simulation". It is real but it is nothing but a simulation. The simulations are designed to show you how the Establishment functions.
What is the Matrix?
We have spoken about the Matrix system before. It is nothing but a human network … a network of hundreds of millions of people around the world connected via a parallel intelligence. This network was initially designed to support and run Establishment agendas. Less than 1% of this network is formed by the criminal Jewish Establishment but the majority of it is composed of lovely and innocent Christians, Jews, Muslims and other non-Jews … which is called the Silent Majority. As of now 90-95% of this network is monitored and controlled by SM.
What's the need of the simulations?
The simulations are designed to give you a preview of:
- How the Establishment's systems function
- What the Establishment can do using its monopoly
- What are the problems that the Establishment can create via its monopoly
- How the Establishment can play in the arenas of media, legals, health, personal relations and politics
The simulations are designed to show you the working model of the crisis that the people are facing at the ground level. If you, the President of the United States, can be rattled via Establishment monopoly then imagine the state of the common man. Imagine how helpless and powerless a common man will be when he faces the Establishment's monopoly.
If these simulations were not created then you would be living in 5 Star comfort of your Trump Tower lifestyle not connected with anything at the ground level reality that the people are facing. Forget about doing anything about these systems … you would not even believe that Establishment monopoly is a problem. The simulations are incredibly important to show you the plight of the Common Man.
It is a cry for help
All of these simulations are not about abusing you, destroying you or eliminating you … these simulations are nothing but a cry for help. Every hammer that falls on your head is actually a cry for help … a cry for help from your own fellow American citizens. From the common man's perspective, these simulations help:
- To pull you on the right track
- To make you a great and fabulous leader that cares for the people
- To help you understand how this criminal system exists and works
- To help you understand how the abuse is induced in the lives of the people
- To help you understand what needs to be done
- To help you understand why we need to break the Establishment monopoly
- To help you understand why we need "Christian" ownership of the media and corporations
Simulations and Reality
The simulations are not real but at the same time they are real. Reality is something that happens on its own. Simulations is controlled reality. Real events and real people are used in simulations … so that there is no flaw in the simulation … but then again … they can be controlled to a great extent.
The 3 Paths Ahead for Trump
- Path 01. Become Submissive to the Establishment - Get More Trouble
- Path 02. Direct Fight - Result in Failure
- Path 03. Dismantle Systems - Respect, Honor, Victory
Let's discuss these paths.
Path 01. Become Submissive to the Establishment - Get More Trouble
We were actually expecting a hero out of Trump … Trump is always talking about fighting the bad guys … winning … Make America Great Again … and more winning. Trump gave a super bold and super energetic impression. We expected a freaking awesome hero who would come out swinging when he is shown the bad guys and their bad systems. But sadly our hero became submissive to the bad guys during the simulations. Instead of taking up the fight, this is what he started doing:
- Promising to protect the Establishment
- Promising to support all of their criminal systems and programs
- Channelizing trillions to their defense companies
- Giving their corporations massive tax breaks
- Giving the already rich billionaires massive tax cuts
- Becoming anti-Russia
- Showing keen interest in Establishment wars and conflicts
- Turning a blind eye to the people and running Establishment agendas worldwide
- Thinks that the Establishment will save him from all troubles
Some people are actually surprised telling me … "hey, hey, hey … why are you telling the Trumps about the simulations?" This is why he needs to know about the simulations … he is following the wrong path. He will end up hurting himself, his Presidency and other countries if he remains on this path. He was supposed to start working with us several months ago … all of these simulations were supposed to be discarded a long time ago … but instead of working with us … this is what he is doing:
- FBI Collusion. Coordinating with the FBI in trying to frame us for Collusion.
- Stalling Cooperation. Made several attempts to stall Russian cooperation on our work.
- Laws Against Fake News. It seems White House personnel have coordinated with the governments of India and Malaysia to create laws against Fake News in order to target our work at these bases. He is literally encouraging other countries to create laws against our work.
- Stop work. Reportedly, he is repeatedly calling the Kremlin and asking them to stop our work by any means.
- Thinks he is the Establishment. The Trump Family has converted to Judaism … apparently they are thinking that they are a part of the "Jewish Establishment" now. So, instead of terminating these criminal systems … he is protecting "his Establishment". Lol. He thinks that he is protecting his fellow club members. (Details later on this).
- North Korea. We showed him a fantastic path that can get him a Nobel Prize via getting rid of Communism in North Korea. We told him to openly talk about North Korea's Communist policies, initiate action to get rid of those policies, take credit and win. But instead of doing this … he is carrying out "secret meetings" with his fellow club members and trying to make a deal. He is doing the opposite of whatever we say. He thinks that he is in the Establishment club now. Lol.
He is on a disastrous path for himself, his family, his Presidency and the entire country.
Layers of simulations will only increase
This is what the Matrix will do on this path. They will only increase the simulations to show you more action of how the Establishment functions in other areas as well. Till date you are seeing simulations mostly in the field of media and legals. This will expand to include health, personal relations, business flow, election loss … while the character assassination continues. If you remain on this path then you headed only for more and more trouble.
Domesticating a Wild Horse
What you should know is that the Matrix was designed by the Jewish Establishment. The techniques that they follow are all from their ideology. As per their ideology, we are animals who need to be controlled, monitored and benefited from. The training strategy is more like of how you tame a wild horse. When you whip a wild horse for the first time ... the horse gets pissed off. The horse is like … "who the hell are you to control me and hurt me?" It does everything not to be controlled.
But the same thing happens the next day and the next day and the next day … eventually what the horse does is … it tries to understand what you want … it tries to get into your mind … it tries to get into another realm that was unknown to it … and then it adjusts itself accordingly. Eventually the horse gets domesticated … there is a mutual relation developed for mutual benefit.
Path 02. Direct Fight - Result in Failure
Just like a horse fights back … you can try to fight back against the Matrix. But this fighting back generally results in failure because:
- There is no official existence of the Matrix
- You will never catch them
- You will never get any evidence against them
- Most of the moves that they are making against you is by using the law
- All real people and real events are used
- All systems remain intact … abuse only increases
- You will end up only being an angry pissed off person who will get repeatedly abused
- This path only results in health failure, bankruptcy and failure on all fronts possible
Instead of just being angry and get pissed off every time the hammer falls on your head ... understand what is going on … understand why it is being done. Don't just react blindly … make an intelligent response that helps in rooting out these very systems itself.
Path 03. Dismantle Systems - Respect, Honor, Victory
Your best option is this path. "Dismantle systems" … start working on eliminating Establishment monopoly. The simulations will not stop until and unless you start working on this path and start changing systems. The very purpose of the simulations is to help you rise against these systems. They will keep on giving you more and more evidence till you rise. Rising against criminal systems is your path to respect, honor and victory.
Why Trump?
One good question that you may ask is … why me? Why Donald Trump? Why not Paul Ryan or Lindsey Graham? Firstly, the Matrix liked you and chose you for the job. You are the chosen one. Secondly, you like people and you have a caring heart. If some people come to you genuinely with a problem and say … President Trump, please help us with this problem … you almost all the time step forward to help. Your "caring heart" is one of the reasons why you are the chosen one.
Thirdly, you are the President of the United States and you have the power to change systems. You can make fantastic and incredibly powerful moves to change these systems. That's why they made you President … this is one of the main reasons why you are in the White House. Not only in America but once you start working with President Putin then you can knock out the Establishment from any country in the world that you want. All you need to do is point and termination strategies will begin in that country. You have the power to solve this crisis and answer the people's call for help.
Why do you think that you are still in office?
With the number of scandals that you are having … why do you think that the opposition party is turning a blind eye to it? Why haven't they started impeachment proceedings yet? Look what happened to other politicians with sex scandals … like Anthony Weiner and other public officials. They are immediately pressurized to step down and leave office. There could have been a massive movement for impeachment. But yet, Nancy Pelosi says … "there is no ground for any impeachment move." Because these are "simulations". You have a bigger role to play and everybody is keen on seeing you play that role. The hero in you is scared … but we all know that … it is there.
Imagine the state of the Common American
This is your state … this is what you have become under simulations. Just imagine how terrified and scared the common American is when he faces such criminal systems in reality at the ground level with no power or strength to handle them. You are the President of the United States … this has become your state … imagine the helpless state of the common man.

Story written on January 24, 2018 by Kazz.
So I don't know if there would be any interest in me continuing this.
I stopped writing as I was in a really bad place, My ex fiancée walked out on me when I was at work for someone else 9 months before our wedding. It's took me a fair bit of time to pull myself together and actually move forward, I've spent time trying to keep my head afloat in order to complete the last year of my social work degree and find myself again.
So yeah if you would like me to continue just let me know.

Feedback Co-creation
We of Blauwhoed believe in co-creation: jointly creating a plan for a new house, building, street or neighborhood. On June 21th, the co-creation session for Stack took place.
We welcomed many people who, in response to several panels, shared their thoughts on this new residential tower. For example, we discussed the floor plans, how large the future residences should be, what floor future residents prefer to live on. Furthermore, we talked about the importance of sustainability and how SMART the new residences should be. We received many responses and made an inventory of the results. Below a short summary of the responses we received and a small impression of the event:
A selection of the responses:
– View is more important than orientation to the sun
– Location of residence is more important than its height
– 'Pier connoisseurs' prefer semi-indoor balconies
– Many people were interested in sustainability
– Don't forget the charging points for electric cars
– Smart applications in residence popular
– Keyless entry is a must
– Parcel delivery box would be an added advantage
– Collective bicycle shed necessary, including separate storage outside residence
– Space for own car
– Car sharing would be a great addition
– Preference for glass from floor to ceiling
– Preference for walk-in shower instead of bath
– Additional storage/pantry in apartment much in demand
– Offer residences with both loft and traditional layout
– Blinds on the inside
– Spatial outer areas with sufficient privacy
– High interior doors and high ceilings
– Floor cooling and heating, entirely contemporary
We will try to incorporate this feedback in the final design to the extent possible. As it now appears, sale will start in the autumn of 2018. The closer we get to the start of the sale, the more information about the residences will be available on the website.

Harrah's and Horseshoe casinos in Council Bluffs have been fined a total $50,000 for two instances of allowing underage patrons onto their gambling floors.
The fines were levied last week by the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission, said Brian Ohorilko, the commission's administrator. Under Iowa law, no one under 21 is allowed on gambling floors.
Harrah's and Horseshoe, which share common management, self-reported the violations and cooperated with commission authorities, Ohorilko said. It was the first underage violation at either casino in the past year, he said.
Harrah's officials did not respond to a request for comment, but Harrah's general manager, Samir Mowad, signed a joint statement with the commission on the incidents.
Harrah's was cited for an incident that took place April 8, in which a young woman and her adult female companion entered the casino at 6:25 p.m. without being asked for identification.
The young woman, identified in documents as "V.M.", played slot machines for the next half-hour. The pair were asked to leave after they were found to be asking guests for money at 7:05 p.m. Security officers made copies of their IDs and realized that "V.M." was 20 years old. About two hours later, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation was notified.
"Harrah's failure to immediately notify DCI hampered their ability to follow up on the criminal matter," according to a statement signed by Ohorilko and Mowad.
Harrah's was fined $20,000 in connection with that incident, Ohorilko said.
The second incident took place at Horseshoe on May 21. An underage male identified as "K.C." presented an ID when he entered the casino at 4:42 p.m. He stayed on the gambling floor until after 1 a.m., played multiple slot machines and consumed 13 alcoholic drinks.
When he was asked to leave because of what a Gaming Commission document described as "inappropriate contact" with a female patron, "K.C." told security officers that he was underage. He was detained in the parking lot by Council Bluffs Police.
Ohorilko said the ID turned out to be forged.
The commission levied a $30,000 fine against Horseshoe management. Ohorilko said it was higher because of the long time that "K.C." remained on the gambling floor without being discovered and because he came into contact with several Horseshoe employees without being challenged. That included multiple purchases of alcohol from the bar.

Alice Robinson is a Melbourne-based author, I can't tell you her age but she doesn't look very old (here), and more disappointingly I can't tell you whether or not she grew up in the country. But this is her debut novel, impressively long-listed for the Stella, after a PhD in creative writing. I worry about novels like this, straight out of school, that the story follows a formula designed to suck me in and I am. But before my criticisms get out of hand, let me say right at the beginning that Laura, the book's central character engaged me and I was very invested in learning more about her.
In many ways Anchor Point (2015) is a worthy newcomer to the long line of books I have been studying and writing about as I delineate the myth of the Independent Woman, particularly in the setting of the Australian Bush which has been and still is claimed for the archetypal Australian man, 'lone hand', larrikin soldier etc.
Although set in the 1980s and 90s – in a fictional location in the foothills of the Alps in north eastern Victoria – Laura's story embodies in one generation the dichotomy between the pioneering settler of Australian legend on one hand and Indigenous land claims, climate change and land degradation from over clearing, on the other.
Laura herself embodies almost from the time her sister Vic is born, when she is five or six, the 'drover's wife' (here) condemned to kitchen servitude and drudgery (although not, in this case, endless childbearing), to support the intrepid pioneer, her father. A servitude she adopts, in the house and out on the property, through the disappearance of her mother when she is ten, through the schooling of her sister, through to her own reluctant bid for independence as the partner of another needy, controlling man in Sydney, and finally to her return to the farm to care for her father and the property when her father falls victim to early onset alzheimers.
The book is written in the third person entirely from Laura's POV. Her father, Bruce, himself the son of a failed farmer, has bought a couple of hundred of acres of bush which he plans to clear in order to farm sheep. Kath, Laura's mother, is a German-born potter, who 'neglects' her housework and her daughters to pursue her art. Both the housework and the care of Vic increasingly fall to Laura.
Do we feel for Kath? We all felt for Katherine Mansfield last week (Who Does the Dishes?), are their situations the same? Bruce, all pioneers, all men maybe, have this expectation that women will keep house while they get on with the real work. Does Laura feel for Kath? Not really, certainly not after she gets a black eye when she drops one of her mother's vases. Bruce and Kath spend another night arguing, there's a storm, the creek floods, Kath disappears. Laura's own actions are not above reproach (no spoilers!), but she picks up the slack, Bruce brings in men to clearfell the trees, Laura drops out of school and becomes a farmer alongside Bruce.
Her only friend is Joseph, an Aboriginal boy her own age, a token? No, but nearly. He may have been her romantic interest but in the end is not. In fact, this novel is like those movies of the book where a number of characters are conflated into one. Where in real life we might take up with a dozen others before coming upon our partner for life, each of the girls meets one man and that's it. And poor old Bruce meets no-one.
It is telling that when we finally learn more about Kath it turns out her name is actually Katya, which Bruce had insisted on Australianising. Bruce stands in for all those settlers right back to 1788 who insisted on farming methods brought with them from England. You can only shudder as all the trees are removed, all the way down the hill to the creek, and he even regularly threatens to chop down the 'canoe' tree in the yard of their modest house.
The drought years which come increasingly often are a marker for climate change. In the end Laura makes mostly futile efforts to re-forest the ruined land, promises it to Joseph who wants it for Indigenous access, then must renege and sell-up, probably to developers for housing, as her own health declines.
In the last chapter Laura is with Vic, in Vic's apartment on the 33rd floor, the power out, looking out on a Melbourne ringed by bushfires. Anchor Point, intended as a parable for our times, I guess is that, but works best as a character study of Laura and her relationships – to her father, to her dependent sister, to Luc, her dependent partner, and to her absent mother.
Alice Robinson, Anchor Point, Affirm Press, 2015. Audio version – Queensland Narrating Service, read by Ursula Wharton.

Blue Dart Express or Blue Dart is an Indian privately owned business giving dispatch conveyance administrations headquartered in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. It is a backup of Blue Dart Aviation, and works in South Asian nations blue dart courier tracking. In 2002, Blue Dart had a business organization together with DHL Express and on 8 November 2004, DHL Express put €120 million in it, and from that point forward has been a noteworthy investor in the organization.
Blue Dart was established by Tushar Jani (director) and his companions Khushroo Dubash and Clyde Cooper in November 1983. In the early years, Blue Dart had a business concurrence with Gelco Express International, UK, for the activities of universal air bundle express administrations from India. In 2010-11, it presented ′cash on conveyance (COD)′ to clients, as an extra installment alternative for its dispatch administrations. Khushroo Dubash started contemplates on a "Center point and Spoke" idea for the organization's circulation organizing.
A dispatch is an organization that conveys messages, bundles, and mail. Dispatches are recognized from customary mail benefits by highlights, for example, speed, security, following, mark, specialization and individualization of express administrations, and quick conveyance times, which are discretionary for most ordinary mail administrations. As a superior administration, messengers are typically more costly than standard mail administrations, and their utilization is ordinarily constrained to bundles where at least one of these highlights are viewed as sufficiently critical to warrant the cost.
Dispatch administrations work on all scales, from inside particular towns or urban communities, to local, national and worldwide administrations. Vast messenger organizations incorporate DHL, DTDC, FedEx, EMS International, TNT, UPS, India Post and Aramex. These offer administrations around the world, ordinarily through a center point and talked display.
In antiquated history, messages were hand-conveyed utilizing an assortment of strategies, including sprinters, homing pigeons and riders on horseback. Prior to the presentation of automated dispatch administrations, foot ambassadors physically ran miles to their goals. Xenophon ascribed the principal utilization of messengers to the Persian ruler Cyrus the Younger. Broadly, the Ancient Greek messenger Pheidippides is said to have run 26 miles from Marathon to Athens to bring the news of the Greek triumph over the Persians in 490 BCE. The long-separate race known as a marathon is named for this run.
Beginning at the season of Augustus, the antiquated Greeks and Romans made utilization of a class of steed and chariot-mounted messengers called anabasii to rapidly bring messages and summons long separations. The word anabasii originates from the Greek (adscensus, "mounting"). They were contemporary with the Greek hemeredromi, who conveyed their messages by foot.
In Roman Britain, Rufinus made utilization of anabasii, as reported in Saint Jerome's journals (adv. Ruffinum, l. 3. c. 1.): "Idcircone Cereales et Anabasii tui per diversas provincias cucurrerunt, ut laudes meas legerent?" ("Is it on that record that your Cereales and Anabasii circled through numerous areas, with the goal that they may read my commendations?") In urban communities, there are frequently bike dispatches or cruiser messengers however for relegations requiring conveyance over more prominent separation arranges, this may regularly incorporate lorries, railroads and airplane.
