Here are some unpopular opinions, for your outrage or delight.
1. One of the biggest but least recognized reasons that American school system sucks—and it most certainly does—is that so many teachers and education professors are just as anti-intellectual as most parents. This is why we homeschool.
2. A large contingent of geekdom is actually anti-intellectual, too, as paradoxical as that might sound. Not all; certainly not my friends.
3. The most important purpose of education is not vocational education, but to train and liberate the mind, to create fully competent and responsible free citizens of a free republic. This, contrary to the much-celebrated Sir Ken Robinson, is not "boring stuff." We've got to adopt the right educational goals, lest we continue to suffer great opportunity costs of various inefficient educational methods. It's a goddamned shame that national treasures like Marva Collins have not been listened to and learned from.
4. Knowledge—which is a key element of the mission of education—involves no small amount of memory work. No, it doesn't matter that research is updating our knowledge base very regularly. If we could only jettison our distaste for memory work, we might learn the tremendous advantages of spaced repetition.
5. Television is mostly a friggin' waste of time. You're better off without access to broadcast and cable TV. You can watch the good stuff on your own time via Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.
6. Latin and Greek are still good languages for kids to study.
7. Yes, babies can read. Robert Titzer (of Your Baby Can Read fame) was badly misunderstood and unjustly attacked. At least, babies can start to learn to read. By the time they're preschoolers, they can read well. This doesn't require pressure in any way. It's fun. Maybe you just didn't know this. Try to keep an open mind.
8. Joyful, disorganized early education can generally do great things for little kids. It's a completely avoidable national disgrace that so many kids exit first grade without knowing how to read.
9. All that just goes to show you that experts can be really friggin' dogmatic, or so I find, as much as I do respect them. They're highly susceptible to groupthink, and we must not confuse devotion to science and scholarship with uncritical acceptance of whatever trends happen to be in the ascendancy among the current generation. Follies are frequently collective, even among smart, well-educated people. Sad, but all too true.
10. Another example of dogmatic experts: yes, we do have free will, properly understood. Oh-so-clever science students stupidly assume that science alone can establish the contrary. They pretend not to be doing philosophy, when that is exactly what they are doing (albeit badly). They are annoying in their stubborn failure to understand the issues. Compatibilist free will is the only sort of freedom we need.
11. Our university system is broken, but it's a huge mistake to conclude that college is a waste of time. I propose that we pop the education bubble by creating a new, more independent and modular system of higher education, with degrees by examination among other things.
12. It makes no sense to use reason to call into question the use of reason. "He must either be a fool, or want to make a fool of me, that would reason me out of my reason and senses," said one of my heroes, Thomas Reid. It is per se rational to begin our reasonings from the principles of what philosophers like Reid and G. E. Moore called "common sense."
13. An objective morality does exist. Relativism is dangerous and wrong. It is not the case that, if God is dead, everything is permitted. As Aristotle knew, life itself is the basic good that underlies our moral judgments; so our basic duty is to live well.
14. While in some ways Western civilization has never been more powerful and enlightened, it has also become morally and intellectually arrogant, sclerotic, and stunted. This can't end well.
15. More specifically, I am appalled and saddened by how cynical and morally bankrupt so many people can be today when acting as part of governments, bureaucracies, parties, corporations, schools, social cliques, the dating scene, gangs, law enforcement, publishing, etc., etc.—and when our supposed intellectual leaders mostly avoid moral judgment of the contemptible behavior that takes place in these social contexts. Corruption and cynicism are not OK; it doesn't matter if "everybody's doing it." Someday I'll write an essay, or a book, about this.
16. We've lost our moral and intellectual bearings. Religion is no longer a unifying force, of course. Even the formerly unifying ideals of western civilization—knowledge, freedom, dignity, excellence, self-control, etc.—have come under attack by much of our intelligentsia. Ideology is no substitute; no, nothing substantial is in its place. As a society, we're sleepwalking. It's alarming. Again, it can't end well.
17. Goddamned Hollywood is a morally depraved hot mess. They have got to get their house in order. They generally don't deserve our attention beyond any worthwhile entertainment they happen to produce.
18. I'm sorry if this offends, and I'm not saying this about my many liberal friends, who are generally very original and brilliant, but I'm going to say it anyway: conventional, dull, social-climbing, ambitious people are now mostly liberal or progressive Democrats. Being a lefty is no evidence that you are a smart nonconformist, not that it ever was. There are still plenty of dull, conventional conservatives too, of course. But at some point we've got to start talking about big-government left-wingers in this country as "conservatives," just as unreconstructed communists in the old Soviet Union were called "conservatives." Then I'll ask for the good old word "liberal" back.
19. I am particularly appalled by the illiberal hostility that certain left-leaning students, and some older people as well, are showing toward the fundamental American ideals of free speech and intellectual tolerance. In the Facebook alumni group for my alma mater, the uber-liberal Reed College, a lot of older liberals share my consternation at these trends; no, they aren't conservative or even libertarian.
20. Jonathan Chait is correct that there is a new political correctness. We have become too sensitive and rely far too much on dismissive arguments regarding how people have allegedly broken new social norms that not everyone shares. We ought instead to engage on issues of substance. That we don't is really screwing up our civic culture.
21. Speaking of political incorrectness, I have some guilty pleasures on YouTube that aren't quite politically correct for me to admit to liking. I admire their outspokenness, their intellectual courage in an increasingly censorious age, and their thoughtfulness. Let me introduce you to them:
Pat Condell. In-your-face atheist, old-fashioned liberal, vociferous defender of free speech. I might not always agree with him—actually, I often do—but in any case, I admire his spirit.
Karen Straughan. I'm really going to catch it for endorsing her, so let me just say first that I'm not convinced that her general take on feminism is right—it's a lot to process and I need to think her views through more (a book would help). Still, I love that she's a bisexual single mother and yet has the courage to comes down, hard, against the bigger stupidities of radical feminism. She comes across as remarkably articulate, intelligent, and frequently shows she's done a lot of research; it's hard to believe she doesn't even have a college degree. She's going to be famous in 10 years if not sooner.
I also like the brand of feminism of my fellow philosopher Christina Hoff Sommers; I have ever since reading her Who Stole Feminism? back in the 1990s.
"Rockin' Mr. E." He's sort of a long-haired Greek-Welsh cross between Pat Condell and Karen Straughan. Again, I don't always agree, often because his arguments would require research and thought to evaluate properly—but I often do find myself inclined to agree, anyway. I appreciate his nonconformist, independent spirit, anyway. And his chops on the electric guitar.
Let the sneering begin!
I'm sure I've managed to piss off everybody to some extent. I swear this isn't my intention. I'm not a troll because I actually believe what I say and think it actually important to say. I do own up to being a gadfly and possibly a pretentious, annoying git. But a troll, no.
by Larry Sanger
It is a DRAFT statement of belief in response to certain claims sometimes made, loosely implied, or perhaps occasionally assumed by those whose main focus is social justice—people called perhaps unkindly "social justice warriors" (SJWs). (I prefer the phrase "radical social justice advocates" (RSJAs) to refer to the same people, but without the associations.) The worry is that some people seem to lack adequate respect for free speech rights in their fight for social justice. But before you call these statements "straw positions," please bear in mind that we are not saying that any particular individual actually denies any particular statement here. I'd be happy to include some planks directed more specifically to problems with free speech that conservatives have.
I want these statements written so that they are acceptable by a wide range of people of progressive, liberal, centrist, libertarian, and conservative points of view. So please suggest edits.
1. Free speech, why important. Free speech is a deeply important right, because it enables responsible, democratic government, liberal education, more accurate journalism, conscientious religion, deep and critical philosophy, fair discourse, and through all of these, good habits of individual, rational deliberation.
2. Freedom of dissent. Free speech entails freedom to disagree, dissent, and criticize.
3. Open disagreement in forums. Simply expressing open disagreement with the tenets of—to take a few instances at random—religion, feminism, progressivism, conservatism, and government policy is and should remain free and welcome speech in most forums.
4. Free speech on campus means academic freedom. Speech and dissent should especially remain free on the university classroom and campus, in official and unofficial functions. Censorship of ideas, especially on a college campus, is wrong. Academic freedom extends not just to professors but to students as well.
5. Freedom of speech does not entail a right of respect. No matter how certain you feel about your views, you do not have a right for those views of yours to be respected.
6. Privacy of conversation. It is simply wrong to attempt to shame a person by sharing what they have stated in what they reasonably expected to be a private conversation publicly online or with their employer.
7. "Doxxing" is unacceptable. Even worse is an attempt to silence a person by sharing private information—their address, ID or credit card numbers, etc.—about them online.
8. Silencing through threats is unacceptable. Attempting to silence a person by threatening them with bodily or other harm is, obviously, completely incompatible with free speech. This must stop.
9. Offensive speech. The speech most in need of protection is offensive speech; after all, inoffensive speech is not in need of protection. If you do not support a protection for offensive speech, you do not support a right to free speech.
10. You do not have a right not to be offended. That means others have a right to say things you find offensive. This is a basic part of being an adult in a free society.
11. Offending is not harming. Words, especially about hot topics such politics, religion, race, gender, etc., can cause all manner of upset. Nobody likes that, but you aren't being meaningfully harmed by those words in the legal sense. Society long ago agreed to set aside minor, passing emotional discomfort, such as is caused by ordinary discourse, as something you can be punished for causing—or else the government's job becomes too big and too prone to unfairness.
12. Speech you hate is not necessarily hate speech. Speech that you hate is "hateful" (obnoxious, offensive, annoying) to you, but that does not by itself make it "hate speech" (expressing hatred of people for their, e.g., racial or ethnic identity). Careful not to mix these up.
13. Avoid false claims of triggering. Being "triggered" is something different from feeling offense or discomfort or outrage. If you don't actually have a PTSD, you don't deserve to be taken seriously if you claim to be triggered. In that case, you're just expropriating the scientific language of therapy and applying it to your own feelings of discomfort.
14. Your trauma should not prevent others from learning. If a topic, book, or other media so traumatizes you that you cannot participate, you do not have the right to prevent others from learning from it.
15. Trigger warnings should not be required. Of course, polite warnings about difficult material are a fine idea. You may request that they be made, but a requirement puts pressure on instructors to avoid controversial or emotional material, which is at odds with the very purposes of education.
16. Free speech is not "unsafe." The following things, all by themselves, do not in fact make you unsafe: someone disagrees with your opinion, your religion, your ideology, your cause; someone criticizes you; someone else is merely angry or offended; someone has an opinion that you find "hateful."
17. Feeling unsafe is different from actually being unsafe. The circumstances matter, of course, but in general, simply claiming or even feeling that you are unsafe is not enough for you to be unsafe.
18. Avoid false claims about being "unsafe." To state that something someone says makes you feel unsafe only because you wish to silence the person is wrong, contemptible, and a direct attack on free speech.
19. Free speech and intellectual tolerance go together. A society committed to free speech is also committed to intellectual tolerance, or tolerance of a wide variety of points of view. Societies that have many rules about what people may say are consequently strongly intolerant of the verboten points of view. A society devoted to free speech "agrees to disagree."
20. Intellectual tolerance, what. Intellectual tolerance involves "letting" people have a different point of view from yours. You don't have to like it. You don't even have to respect it. But you should respect the moral right of people to hold those different views.
21. Intellectual tolerance means not shutting others' speech down. If you're personally committed to free speech and tolerance, you won't shout people down at speeches they're giving.
22. Intelligent people disagree with you. Just because somebody does not immediately agree with you, that doesn't mean that they are ignorant or unenlightened.
23. Privilege does not need to be silenced. Just because someone is a member of a "privileged" group, it doesn't follow that he or she deserves to be silenced or shamed.
24. Fixation on "privilege" can make you a bigot. Constant attention to the identity groups of your "privileged" opponents means you're engaging in identity-based bigotry and stereotyping—which is something social justice is supposed to be opposed to.
25. Don't pull out the big guns so quickly. Someone is not a sexist simply because he expresses skepticism of one of the tenets of feminism. Someone is not a racist simply because does not agree with you. Someone is not a socialist just because they are a Democrat or in favor of Obamacare. Words like these tend to shut down conversation and harden positions. They should be used only with evidence.
Anything else to add? Anything directed more toward conservatives?
Once this is completed, I might seek out more attention. For now I've just posted it on the blog and have sought a input from a few acquaintances.
Ultimately, I'd love to see such a statement drafted and posted for many people to sign. Of course, it should only include statements that (1) we have seen radical social justice activists (RSJAs) or conservative opponents of free speech make (or which they appear to assume), (2) seem to be very implausible, and also such that (3) some contrary point of view appears to be a matter of common sense. So, no conservative talking points, of course. Just the obvious stuff that most free speech-loving liberals, libertarians, and conservatives can agree upon and on which they disagree with RSJA types.

Dani breaks down the recent master bedrooms and ensuites delivered on The Block: Fans v Faves last Sunday, and shares how we can all 'Get the Look' of Brad and Dale's winning room.
While normally, master bedroom week on The Block happens within the first few weeks of the competition, this season in Fans v Faves, we had to wait until week seven. With next to nothing left in their budgets, the exhausted and creatively-drained couples were forced to be extra resourceful and to make the most of the vouchers that they received at the start of the competition.
Four very different, but very creative master bedrooms and ensuites were delivered on Sunday night but none of the couples completely disappointed the judging panel. In fourth place on 22.5 points this week were Kyal and Kara. Things started positively for the couple as the judges loved the gallery style hallway that displayed artwork at mixed heights and in random groups, but the pair failed to impress with their master bedroom and walk-in wardrobe. Neale even said that it had 'no emotion' and was 'devoid of feeling and soul'.
This comment would come as a blow to anyone at this point in the competition; but the power couple took it with aplomb and even discussed ways they could potentially improve the overall feel of the room.
The bad reviews continued with the walk-in wardrobe as the judges felt the storage and shelving solution that Kyal and Kara used was poorly designed considering how much it must have cost them. This led all of the judges to agree that the mirror in the walk-in wardrobe was the best element.
Luckily, the ensuite received more favourable reviews, as the Super K's produced the kind of ensuite that the 'buyers of their apartment would expect'. I thought it was absolutely beautiful, and think that it's my favourite bathroom of the series. The judges felt that the layout was perfect and that Kyal and Kara had produced a 'stunning' and 'beautiful' room.
Coming away in third place with 25 points were Alisa and Lysandra. The girls were nervous this week to hear the judges' opinions on the 'light void' that has been a topic of conversation for the entire series. It was finished in such a perfect way with mirrors that reflect the natural light from the upper level of the apartment and the judges loved it. A custom frosted glass floor finished off the entryway to the master bedroom perfectly and, ultimately, casts a beautiful soft light to the kitchen below. As the girls had dropped a cool $10,000 on the construction of the void, it would have been a very expensive mistake if it hadn't worked out.
With the decreased size of their master bedroom playing on the couple's minds for some time; it came as a relief when all three of the judges agreed that the room was an 'appropriate sized bedroom'. Darren commented that it still felt 'quite vast and big'. The girls also used cement sheeting as their bedhead but cut down as tiles rather than full sheets, and the judges said that it was better resolved than Kyal and Kara's.
Shaynna's 'star' in the room this week was the black cupboard with timber detail, however the judges were less than impressed with their efforts on the walk-in wardrobe, claiming that the use of timber with aluminium edges made the room look 'cheap and nasty'.
The ensuite, like Kyal and Kara's, earned the girls some major points with the judges who all loved the shower jets, the beautiful rendered walls (paired back perfectly with the pebble aggregate multi grey honed floor tile, the simple vanity with timber accent and the minimalist pendant. Neale proclaimed that this ensuite was the 'star of the show this week'.
Judged first yet placing second with 28 points, Chantelle and Steve made all of the other couples nervous as their early scores of nine and ten, from Darren and Shaynna respectively, were recorded on the blackboard. After layout issues stunted progress on the first day of the week, the couple confidently completed a master bedroom and ensuite that Chantelle referred to as 'fresh but warm… and crazy'.
Thankfully the judges didn't seem to think that the room was crazy and gave only words of praise when assessing it. The couple continued the art deco theme displayed throughout their apartment with a modern interpretation on the palette that satisfied all three judges: starting in the master bedroom, Shaynna said that it had an 'elegance about it' and Neale was impressed with the 'raw, slightly industrial edge' complete with a 'spin of glamour'.
The judges' were satisfied with the storage solution in the walk-in-wardrobe: Shaynna simply said 'tick, tick, tick.'
Upon entering the couple's ensuite; Neale was immediately impressed with the tile choices and colour palette, stating that it was 'bang on trend' and that the Castle Pyramid feature tile was his favourite of the series. The judges were impressed by every detail in the room and appreciated the subtle link in angles between the basins, the feature tile and the pendant lights.
Shaynna' final reaction was really surprising, as the usually quite critical judge was moved to tears and explained how proud she was of the couple's efforts in recent weeks and of their journey up until this point. Well done Chantelle and Steve!
With their second win of the series (28.5 points), Brad and Dale literally rendered Shaynna speechless with a room that Neale called the 'royal suite'. He then declared that 'the boys [were] back in the game'. When she finally found some words, Shaynna was in total awe of the 'private wing' the boys has created with the master bedroom.
The beautiful bedroom contained an open tiled wet area complete with an amazing, total 'wow' factor, Cedar Freestanding Bath; an enamel coated pressed steel bath, wrapped in durable plantation Cedar handcrafted in Melbourne. Darren said that the room was 'awesome' and was blown away by the fact that the pair was able to produce a room of this standard in only one week.
All the couples on The Block take a big risk with daring design at some point in the competition to impress their market and the open wet area in the bedroom is a clear point of difference for the boys' apartment.
When the judges walked into the boys' walk-in wardrobe, Shaynna expressed concerned that it 'might be tight for two people', but both Neale and Darren disagreed. Then they found that the 'James Bond' hidden cupboard was full of hanging space.
The ensuite didn't disappoint the judges either as evidenced by Shaynna repeating 'wow' about ten times.
As Brad and Dale have produced the winning master bedroom and ensuite this week; I'm providing you with a list of essential items to help you 'Get the Look' for your own bedroom and ensuite.
1. Cedar Freestanding Bath
2. Sussex Pol Mixer
3. Sussex Scala Floor Mounted Bath Spout
4. Digi Marble Pearl Tiles
5. Ziporah 'Dove' Bath Sheet
6. Aesop 'Classic' Shampoo and Conditioner
7. EST Extra Virgin Olive Oil Soap Ball from Nelson Brown
8. Fete Square Basket in 'White'
9. Calypso Wire Stool in 'White'
10. Copen Bench
11. Sigma Mirror
12. Spinning Light BH1
13. Evelina Quilt Cover in 'Natural'
14. Abbotson Bed Cover and Pillowcase
15. Hart & Barnes Cushions in 'Inky Wash' green base from Nelson Brown

Driver Of Ridesharing Service Charged In White Plains Federal Court With Kidnapping And Wire Fraud
Geoffrey S. Berman, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, William F. Sweeney Jr., Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"), and James P. O'Neill, the Commissioner of the New York City Police Department ("NYPD"), announced today the unsealing of a complaint charging HARBIR PARMAR with kidnapping and wire fraud. PARMAR will be presented in White Plains federal court this afternoon before United States Magistrate Judge Judith C. McCarthy.
U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: "As alleged, Harbir Parmar was hired to transport a woman from Manhattan to her home in White Plains. Instead, Parmar kidnapped, terrorized, and assaulted the woman before dumping her on the side of an interstate. No one – man or woman – should fear such an attack when they simply hire a car service."
FBI Assistant Director-in-Charge William F. Sweeney Jr. said: "The victim in this case utilized a ride sharing service trusting that her driver would provide a safe ride home. Instead, as we allege today, Harbir Parmar made an outrageous choice, deciding to unlawfully take advantage of his passenger at a moment of vulnerability for his own selfish motives. This kind of behavior should never be tolerated, and the FBI will continue to work tirelessly with our partners to bring justice to those who would shamelessly and illegally take advantage of others."
Commissioner James P. O'Neill said: "The criminal acts outlined in this complaint are reprehensible. This individual's behavior goes far beyond ridesharing companies' efforts to revise their ethics codes and put stronger emphasis on background checks for their drivers. The people we serve deserve much better. These charges are appalling, and such behavior will never be tolerated by the NYPD or any of our local, state, or federal law enforcement partners."
According to the allegations in the Complaint unsealed today:[1]
On February 21, 2018, an individual ("Victim-1") ordered a vehicle through a ridesharing company ("Company-1") to pick her up in Manhattan, New York, and take her to White Plains, New York, where she resided at the time. At approximately 11:30 p.m., Victim-1 entered a vehicle driven by PARMAR, who was licensed to use Company-1's software as a driver. Victim-1 fell asleep in the vehicle. PARMAR changed Victim-1's destination in Company-1's mobile application to an address in Boston, Massachusetts and proceeded to drive toward Massachusetts. When Victim-1 awoke, the vehicle was on the side of the road and PARMAR was in the backseat of the vehicle with her, with his hand under her shirt touching the top of her breast. Upon Victim-1 waking up, PARMAR got back into the driver's seat and continued driving. Victim-1 requested that she be taken to White Plains or to the police station but PARMAR refused. PARMAR instead dropped Victim-1 off on the side of I-95 in Branford, Connecticut. Victim-1 went to a nearby convenience store where she sought assistance.
In addition, from December 2016 through February 2018, PARMAR, sent allegedly false information about the destinations of Company-1's customers through Company-1's mobile application on at least 11 occasions. He also sent false information about the application of a cleaning fee to be applied to the accounts of Company-1's customers on at least three occasions. In these instances, customers of Company-1 filed complaints with Company-1 about being overcharged for their rides. These instances have resulted in over $3,600 in improper charges to the accounts of Company-1's customers.
* * *
PARMAR, 24, of Howard Beach, New York, is charged with one count of kidnapping, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison, and one count of wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. The maximum potential sentence in this case is prescribed by Congress and provided here for informational purposes only, as any sentencing of the defendant will be determined by the judge.
There may be more victims of this alleged conduct. If you have information to report, contact the FBI's Westchester Resident Agency at (914) 925-3888.
Mr. Berman praised the outstanding investigative work of FBI's Westchester County Safe Streets Task Force, which is comprised of investigators from the FBI, U.S. Probation Office, New York State police, Westchester County Department of Public Safety, Westchester County District Attorney's Office, the New York City Police Department, Yonkers Police Department, Greenburgh Police Department, Mount Vernon Police Department and the Peekskill Police Department.
The case is being handled by the Office's White Plains Division. Assistant United States Attorney Jamie Bagliebter is in charge of the prosecution.
The charges contained in the Complaint are merely accusations, and the defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
[1] As the introductory phrase signifies, the entirety of the text of the Complaint and the description of the Complaint set forth herein constitute only allegations, and every fact described should be treated as an allegation.

The impact of genetic counselors' use of facilitative strategies on cognitive and emotional processing of genetic risk disclosure for Alzheimer's disease.

OBJECTIVES: To determine the impact of genetic counselor (GC) communication on cognitive and emotional processing of Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk information during discussions with patients with clinical diagnoses of mild cognitive impairment and their companion.
METHODS: 79 recordings and transcripts of AD risk disclosure sessions collected as part of the fourth REVEAL Trial were coded using the Roter Interaction Analysis System (RIAS) and the Linguistic Inquiry Word Count (LIWC). Multilevel analyses were used to determine the association between GCs' use of communication facilitation strategies and patient and companion use of words indicative of cognitive and emotional processing.
RESULTS: GC used somewhat more cognitive (14%) than emotional (10%) facilitation strategies. Both patients and companions used more words indicative of cognitive (18% and 17%) than emotional (6% and 5%) processing. GC use of facilitative strategies and patient and companion use of cognitive and emotional processing words were significantly associated in both unadjusted and adjusted models (all p-values<0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: GCs' use of facilitative strategies assist in cognitive and emotional processing in a way that may be linked to therapeutic benefit.
PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: These findings highlight mechanisms through which GCs may assist patients and companions to better understand and cope with risk information.

The latest monthly QV House Price Index shows New Zealand residential property values for July increased 5.1 per cent over the past year.
However, property values dropped 0.7 per cent over the past three months.
The average value of a property in New Zealand is now NZ$673,797.
"We're seeing a shift in the market across many regions, with most of the market activity and value growth taking place at the 'lower-end' of the market where values are more affordable," said QV General Manager, David Nagel.
"First home buyer activity remains relatively strong across most of New Zealand although we're observing a drop in activity in some areas over the past few months. This could possibly be due to the fact that some buyers are holding off purchasing, hoping they'll attain a KiwiBuild property in the ballot.
"We'll be closely monitoring the impact of the government's initiative over the coming months although its full impact won't be felt for some time yet."
All this means that price growth in New Zealand's three largest cities – Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch – have slowed considerably in the last three months; although property values are still higher than they were a year ago.
The largest price growth in the last year was recorded in Napier City, where prices rose 14.2 per cent in the past 12 months and by 2.7 per cent in the last three months.
With property prices in New Zealand still high, it is essential that anyone moving to the country starts their new life with the largest amount of NZ Dollars they can.
One simple way you can make a substantial gain is to get the best exchange rate possible when the time comes to change Pounds into NZ Dollars.
Put simply, when exchanging large lump sums, only small fluctuations in exchange rates can have a huge impact on how much money you'll end up with.
Of course, there is no guarantee of choosing the absolute best time to exchange. But taking expert advice from a specialist currency exchange firm like Halo Financial can certainly help.
Foreign exchange companies understand why the exchange rates are moving and just what impact this has on your currency transaction so can give you at least some indication of when the market could move favourably. What's more, they can also provide you with a range of options on when you should consider exchanging, and how much you should exchange at a time.
To find out how you can make sure you can take advantage of positive fluctuations in the market and exchange your currency at the right time to get the best possible, visit www.halofinancial.com

When you're dealing with injuries or pain it's important to take care of your body, but you also want to stay motivated to continue to improve. Aches, pain, discomfort, and soreness, are not that fun. You surely don't want to get caught comparing yourself to where you were before your injury or to everyone else around you. You are you, today, a person who is fully capable of greatness.
Do you find it hard to stay positive when you don't feel 100%?
7 Keys To Staying Mentally Strong During Injuries
1. Remind yourself of all that IS feeling well. You may need to think of every little thing that you are currently capable of doing with your body. These might be very simple things but they are still very powerful. For example: Your left knee is sprained, you can focus on all the strength and abilities you have with your right leg, your upper body and your basic senses that are still functional.
2. Focus on what you CAN do. Assess what physical abilities you have on each specific day (which may be different than yesterday or tomorrow). We are not guaranteed anything, so it's important to do your best with what you have at any given moment.
3. Prioritize being positive and focusing on what you can control. I can't emphasize this enough. Spend time investing and improving your relationships, nutrition, sleep, recovery and mental game. These are the most important aspect of your health anyway, and you will reap the benefits of putting time and effort into these factors. You can look at your injury as a chance, or a blessing in disguise you to being able to spend more time on something or someone that you've been neglecting.
4. Set some new goals. It doesn't matter how small they may seem. You may want to focus on increasing your range of motion, seeing improvements in movements that you weren't focused on before, or improving in your physical therapy sessions. Write your specific goals down and share them with your support team.
5. Spend more time doing your other passions. You love cooking, so get back to creating more recipes. If you love hosting parties, then plan a few. If you're really digging photography, then start a side business. Continue to do things that bring you positive feedback, self-confidence and that relieve your stress.
6. Practice and get better at something different. If you're leg is out of commission, build your upper body by working on pull-ups, dips and heavy presses. Become a better swimmer if you can. If you're unable to use your body at all, you might want to focus on learning a new language, or picking up another new skill.
7. Find a way to share what you are learning or experiencing by going through the injury. Before you know it, you'll be helping someone else, and this will help you. You can do this with your social media, on a message board or just in your daily conversations with others. Open up about how you're dealing with it, and reach out to others who could use some support and encouragement as well. This way you can also make relationships with others who have had similar injuries or setbacks.

TVGuide.com: Do you think you sold Net Worth short with limited ideas on the auction task?
John Gafford: Barenaked Ladies took two or three people with them to Glasgow, Scotland, to go to a show. That's not exactly [like] just sending you a signed guitar. At the end of the day, we got beat by one experience — it was that Lil' Kim experience. It went for $15,000.
TVG: So it was the artists and not the concepts that were your downfall?
John: Absolutely. I made that comment that I think we lost on a coin flip, and Carolyn disagreed with me, as is her right. But the point I was trying to make was that it is not like a Gene Simmons fan went to the website and said, "Ooh, I'm going to bid on Lil' Kim's [package] because it is for a week." Their fan base is totally separate. With the exception of Fat Joe, we ended up with almost all rock and [Magna Corp.] ended up with almost all rap, which was an interesting dynamic.
TVG: Would you have done better with the rap artists?
John: We would have done better with Lil' Kim.
TVG: What was it like to be around all the musicians?
John: It was extremely cool. Everybody was having such a good time with this task. There was a lot of lighthearted, funny stuff. Unfortunately, I was portrayed in a really negative light, but we were having a good time with the task.
TVG: Your chauvinistic attitude seemed to come out of nowhere in the last few weeks. What was up with that?
John: I think the goal of the show is to be entertaining. If it was boring, nobody would watch. Sometimes you have to create characters around people to make the show interesting. I think the whole perception of me being sexist or whatnot stems from two separate circumstances. The first one is the interaction that I had with Audrey. I was trying to make the point that she was acting immature — I did choose my words very poorly. I should have said she was acting like a 22-year-old "child" instead of a 22-year-old "girl." The second thing would be the banter, which actually didn't appear as banter, between myself and the girls. In the Gene Simmons interview, I didn't say a word for about 25 minutes, and there was so much sexual innuendo flying back and forth between all them, it was unbelievable. They just chose to show me in a negative light. It is the price you pay and the risk you take when you take on an opportunity like this.
TVG: Do you regret doing The Apprentice?
John: Had I known that I was going to be portrayed as the evil prince and that everybody would cheer when I got fired, I never would have done it.
TVG: So the John we saw isn't the real you?
John: Not at all. That is so far away from my value set that it is ludicrous. I judge people strictly on the quality of their work and their character. Sex has absolutely nothing to do with it. I have female business partners. I have worked for women. So to be portrayed that way was a poor choice in judgment and is not accurate whatsoever.
TVG: You really have a striking resemblance to the actor Vince Vaughn.
John: I hear that a lot. I don't know how I feel about that. I am like the designer-impostor Vince Vaughn perfume. Like if you love Vince, you'll like John. I don't know if [my] image is that I'm the Vince Vaughn you can have? I don't know if that is a good thing for me. But Vince is a big star, and I'm just a schmo from Tampa who happened to end up on TV.
TVG: They made a big deal about you being a musician. What do you play?
John: I've been playing drums since I was a kid. I love music. Am I good enough to be in a professional, working band? Absolutely not, but I enjoy playing.
TVG: What did you think of Tana's attempt to be hip?
John: I thought Tana saying "Diggity" and "We be down with that" says exactly the same thing about her and her business acumen as me saying "pimps" with a feather in my hat. It says nothing. [But] I think Tana is great.
TVG: Were you upset that the teams got split up?
John: I was. You missed quite possibly the greatest moment in Apprentice history and for the life of me, I cannot figure out why they didn't show it. When we got Stephanie on our team, [Donald Trump] looked at Chris and said, "Who do you want to give to the other team?" Chris said, "Mr. Trump, we'd like to give Stephanie back." We all knew it wouldn't work, but it was the funniest thing. She was so mad.

When planning a wedding, your guests' happiness always comes to mind. But how often do people take children into consideration? During the planning process, you should be sure to include children friendly activities to keep kids of all ages entertained.
Kids' tables are perfect for outdoor summer weddings, especially because this allows the kids to run around and do what they want without bothering the adults. The range of kids at the table could be anywhere from 5 years old to 15 years old. The kids will definitely appreciate the company of other kids more than they would of their mother's and father's.
The Kids' Table
On the kids' table, set each place with a bundle of crayons and a tiny jar of sweets. This way, the kids will be excited the moment they sit down at the table.
The (not) Table Cloth
Instead of putting a fancy tablecloth down on the kids' table, consider putting down white paper instead. This will create a fun atmosphere for the children to use their crayons. Another fun way to let the kids put their crayons to use is to provide them with a blank placemat and allow them to design it themselves.
The Center Piece
Because flowers are not interactive centerpieces, consider putting Lego's or bubbles in their place. This way, when the kids get bored they can simply reach to the middle of the table and start playing!
Kid Friendly Appetizers
Most children don't find fancy hors d'oeuvres very appetizing. Be sure to include yummy appetizers such as mini hot dogs or small cups of mac and cheese for the kids.
Photo Booth
A photo booth is a fun way for kids to pass the time away. Many photo booths come with silly props that kids enjoy. Also, the photo booth can be a part of your wedding that guests of all ages enjoy.
I Spy
Another fun way to keep children entertained is by providing each child with a disposable camera and an I Spy checklist. Have them complete each task and whoever finishes first wins a prize!
An Open Bar
For adults, an open bar means endless alcohol. For children, an open bar has a different meaning: an entire table filled with sweet and salty treats that kids will drool over. This is every kids dream come true!
The Toast
When the time for toasts come around, children often have to raise their glass of water or juice. To make this a little more fun for children, give each child a glass of milk and a warm cookie to toast with.
Fun Favors
Every kid loves to be given gift bags. Put together a small bag with crayons, bubbles, stickers and coloring pages for each child. Also, offer goodie bags to fill up with dessert to each child.

The Long Blue Line: Icarus – WWII combat cutter, OPC namesake
In 1942, the crew of Coast Guard Cutter Icarus, commanded by Lt. Maurice Jester, sank German U-352 off the coast of North Carolina. Shortly after sinking, the Coast Guard crew rescued 33 survivors of the 48-man crew – they were the first enemy combatants captured by U.S. forces in World War II. The cutter was decommissioned in 1948 but will soon live on as the namesake of the sixth in the first flight of Offshore Patrol Cutters in the "Heritage"-class.
A big band coastie and his Italian prisoners go to town in WWII
This is a story of a young seaman during WWII who befriended POWs over Betty Gable movies, played trumpet in the United States Coast Guard orchestra band in Charleston, South Carolina, and spent his later years performing with the likes of Duke Ellington and Tommy Dorsey. It's not a story well-known, but a story worth knowing.
The Long Blue Line: Pritchard and Bottoms – Last of the Coast Guard's MIAs
Like many selfless Coast Guardsmen, Lt. John Pritchard and Petty Officer First Class Benjamin Bottoms, a radioman, went in harm's way to save lives only to sacrifice their own. During World War II, the Coast Guard ran the Greenland theatre of operations. It was one of the war's deadliest battlegrounds, where men fought not only the enemy, but the elements as well.
U.S. Coast Guard in Belgium! Why?
On April 28, 2018, members of the U.S. Coast Guard Activities Europe attended the annual U.S. Memorial Wereth ceremony in Wereth, Belgium, to honor 11 African-American soldiers murdered by Nazi SS troops during the second day of the Battle of the Bulge. Each year members of the U.S. armed forces throughout Europe, including many members of U.S. Coast Guard Activities Europe, gather in the tiny hamlet of Wereth, Belgium, to help honor and pay respect to the 11 G.I.s from the U.S. Army 333rd Field Artillery Battalion and all African-American G.I.s who fought in Europe during WWII.
The Long Blue Line: USS Big Horn – the Coast Guard's "Q-Ship"

Honor, Respect, Devotion to Duty: Capt. Joseph Mazzotta
The Great Depression was a time in America when people, who were jobless and hungry, turned to things like bootlegging, or hopping into a boxcar and riding a train off into the uncertainty of the West in the hopes to get lucky and finding a job. It was during this time that a 17-year-old in New Jersey native turned to the sea for opportunity, not to catch fish, but to save lives. Joseph Mazzotta enlisted in the Coast Guard as a Second Class Seaman, not knowing he was signing up for an adventurous career that would carry him through the ranks to become a captain, a football star and weave him through historic events to become part of the fabric of Coast Guard history.

The ability to do something that frightens you; bravery.
I feel that this year, but this summer especially, there have been so many events that required way too many people to be courageous: the Grenfell tower fire, hurricane Irma, the Las Vegas shooting, the Harvey Weinstein scandal… There are probably many more, but these come off the top of my head. It has been a pretty horrific summer, now that I look back at it. Sometimes, when you consider all of that and think about the issues affecting the world today, not being able to think about your future seems to be incredibly petty in comparison.
As a university student, I am having a hard time thinking about this new academic year. Being a finalist is not something that I am dealing with very well at the moment – and I have been one for what, two weeks? I thought I would eventually stop experiencing that sinking feeling in my stomach whenever I think about the future, but being a finalist means that in a few months I will be out of university and heading down, well, a path of which I am not quite sure, yet. I am not sure where I will go, or what I am going to do; there are many unknown things and the unknown is unsettling me greatly. Like I said, it has only been two weeks since term started and this is positive. I am sure I will be fine, but there is so much to do and even more to think about.
In times like this, I start asking myself why I tend to overthink situations, why I worry so much, and most of all, why I do not have the courage to either face my fears or dismiss them. Some people may scoff at the fact that I am using the word courage, but I do think it is the appropriate one. Courage is not necessarily a word that always needs to be associated with great or chivalric deeds. In all honesty, how many heroic deeds can a university student pull off?
The courage you need may be used to face your own fears, your own insecurities, your own doubts. They might not be related to school/university life. They may be labelled as "petty." They may come across as being far too preposterous – you know, the kind of things that some people would laugh at and tell you benignly: "You don't have to worry about that." For example, I spent the first few weeks of September scared out of my wits, because I was afraid that the US was going to start a war against North Korea. To be fair, I can say that my fears were somewhat validated by the way the media were treating the issue – one time on the news someone explained that, in case of a nuclear attack, we needed to run to the nearest shelter in two to three minutes. We live on the twelfth floor of an apartment and running down too many flights of stairs was not something I was particularly willing to do. I knew my fears were somewhat exaggerated, yet that did not stop me from not being able to sleep at night sometimes.
There is this line from the musical Daddy-Long-Legs, that I keep coming back to whenever I feel that my fears are taking over, that I am over-exaggerating situations, and that I do not need to react bravely but simply set myself a rigid schedule. "It is not the big troubles in life that require character. Anyone can rise to a crisis and face a crushing tragedy with courage. But to meet the petty hazards of the day with a laugh, I really think that requires spirit."
Those people who stand up to authority and are not afraid to speak their mind in front of hundreds and thousands of people deserve our applause. Those who have the courage to prioritize others over themselves deserve a great deal of recognition. Again, those who understand that in times like this we need to act on our beliefs need to be awarded medals. However, it is easy to put these people on pedestals and look up to them so much that you forget you are not like them. You should not necessarily aim for their same, hardly achievable standards. You should not be thinking that, since they are doing so much, what you are doing is not enough. We all should know that facing your own insecurities and telling yourself that you are good enough is something that deserves, if not the same applause, at least a little pat on the back.

Silverdale preparing for its big party
Silverdale's largest event kicked off Thursday night with the opening of the Davis Amusements carnival, but the big excitement is expected Friday when the 41st annual Whaling Days festival ignites its fireworks over Dyes Inlet at 10 p.m.
"We have the largest shells to be set off in Kitsap County for our fireworks show," Whaling Days President Carla Larson said.
Larson and a dedicated group of Whaling Days volunteers have spent the last month fine tuning the annual festival that draws thousands to Old Town Silverdale the last weekend in July each year.
Larson said seeing families and kids enjoy the festivities each year makes the year round volunteer gig worth it. Whaling Days is the largest Kitsap County event outside the Kitsap County Fair and Stampede, she said.
"Silverdale's my community. I'm born and raised here and I've seen it grow and grow and grow," Larson said.
Seeing a family "sitting out on a blanket or a towel out here on the grass and having fun," that's what makes the long days and late nights worth it, she said.
There's no big changes to this year's event, which features live entertainment each night, a beer garden, street fair, carnival rides and family-friendly entertainment on the family stage. This year the family stage was moved from its location near the waterfront to a new spot off Byron Street, Larson said.
Other highlights from the weekend include annual events hosted by area civic groups in conjunction with Whaling Days. They include the Rotary pancake breakfast that starts Saturday at 6:30 a.m., followed by the Whale of a Run at 7:15 a.m. Both events are at the Silverdale Community Center. The Silverdale Lions Grade Parade starts at 10 a.m. and will take over Silverdale Way as people march from near Target to Old Town.
Sunday starts early with the registration at 7 a.m. for the Tour de Kitsap bike ride that leaves from Kitsap Credit Union. The race starts at 10:30 a.m. The Dyes Inlet Dash, which features outrigger canoes, starts at 9 a.m.
Sunday afternoon is marked by one of the most-anticipated events of the summer, the annual Silverdale Rotary Great Kitsap Duck Race. This year's event will award 95 prizes ? the most its ever had, according to duck race chairwoman Elayne Burton.
Sponsors stepped up this year covering costs associated with putting the annual race, which dumps tens of thousands of rubber ducks into Dyes Inlet.
"We have more sponsorship money than we've ever had. That means we don't have to use any ticket money for anything that put on the race," Burton said. "Every dollar that we get is going to go to our donations and that's pretty awesome."
The club grants "duck bucks" to organizations that apply each year and has dedicated scholarships and other projects it contributes to with the money earned from the fundraiser.
Rotary members set a goal to sell 20,000 ducks in honor of it being the 20th year the event has been held. As of Thursday night 12,000 had sold. There's still time to buy ducks ? $5 for one or $20 for a quack pack of five ducks. They'll be on sale at the festival until noon Sunday.
"I just hope everybody comes down and has a good time," Larson said of this year's event.

Lucknow: Al-Farooq Educational and Welfare Foundation organized a seminar entitled 'Urdu in Uttar Pradesh: future, fears and expectations'.
Noted poet and Director UP Hindi Sansthan Manish Shukla said anti-Pakistan attitude has harmed Urdu in India. When the Pakistan declared Urdu as its national language, anti-Urdu environment started developing in India. Despite being given the status of 2nd official language in Uttar Pradesh the language didn't receive its due importance. He also said that Urdu is unnecessarily linked with religion. Mr. Shukla asserted that if we want to preserve the language we should begin with our homes. He asked to teach our children its script.
Chief guest Balendu Dwivedi District Minority Welfare Officer in his short address said there is no other language as sweet as Urdu. He said no language belongs to any religion. If it is believed Urdu is the language of Muslims then, there would not have such a big number of non-Muslims who read and write Urdu. Mr. Dwivedi cited several non-Muslims who got famed because of Urdu.
Mr. Balendu said we can do no good to Urdu just by complaining government's negligence or organizing seminars and conferences. He stressed the need to work on ground level for promotion of the language.
Senior journalist and eminent commentator P K Tiwari who presided over the conference underscored the need to provide translation of Urdu literature, books, stories and poems to new generation to help them get the taste of this sweet language.
