Foreign crooks exploit weak New Zealand laws
Jared Savage for the New Zealand Herald about loopholes in New Zealand company laws exploited by international syndicates to set up shell companies linked to criminal offending overseas.
"The Government is now moving to tighten company laws as one of the key areas for battling organised crime in New Zealand."
New Zealand Herald (Auckland, New Zealand)

05 December 2011
Once again, due to some unscrupulous New Zealand incorporatiors who failed to conduct proper dure diligence of their clients, New Zealand Companies Register tightens its rules for foreign directors and shareholders closer. "More than 1000 New Zealand companies or limited partnership arrangements have been "implicated in serious offending overseas over the past five years" including "trafficking of illegal drugs, people and illegal arms, money laundering and large-scale frauds".
The Ministry of Justice warned that this damaged New Zealand's reputation".

Changes to financial reporting requirements for small and medium companies
The government has recently announced proposed changes to the financial reporting obligations for small and medium-sized companies. Non-issuer companies who do not meet the definition of large (the definition of large is: either annual revenue of more than $30 million, or assets of more than $60 million) will no longer be required to prepare general purpose financial reports under the Companies Act. Instead they will need to prepare special purpose financial reports for tax and other purposes.
The changes will reduce the number of companies required to prepare general purpose financial reporting (GPFR) from 460,000 to less than 10,000, and is expected to cut business compliance costs by $90 million a year.
See the Ministry of Economic Development website for details of this and other changes to the financial reporting framework.
A Financial Reporting Amendment Bill outlining these changes will be introduced into Parliament in 2012, with a view to enactment in mid-2013.

So glad your safe. Our post master would of yelled at us for not getting the other packages out. Never mind your personal stuff. Still have not gotten paid for December 14th paycheck. He said I have to deal with it.
Glad you are okay. The person who made the comment about the postmaster yelling about not getting the mail out. That is the truth. All you are to them is someone behind the wheel. The post office has become a toxic work environment. All they worry about is their numbers. They don't have your back. It would be interesting to see what the cause was.

The Truth About IR Lighting and BandwidthBy John Honovich, Published Aug 13, 2011, 08:00pm EDT
One of the industry's top growing myths is that IR illumination massively reduces storage and bandwidth costs. No one has done more to perpetuate that myth than UK manufacturer Raytec. In this report, we break down the fallacy and provide clear recommendations on how you can minimize storage and bandwidth costs without buying any IR illuminators.
What's the Claim?
Raytec claims that adding IR illuminators can reduce storage and bandwidth costs by up to 90% - a key component of their PR and marketing releases. The most substantive Raytec document on this topic is their 'white paper' on lighting for network cameras [link no longer available] where their test results found no less than 74% bandwidth and storage reduction when using IR illuminators.
The claim is quite important to their value proposition because if IR illuminators really are the only way to reduce such costs, it could result in hundreds of dollars of savings, greatly offsetting the purchase of an IR illuminator.
Unfortunately, their claims, configuration and testing is riddled with fundamental errors.
Error #1: Confusing VBR and CBR
Raytec erroneously assumes that all cameras use Variable Bit Rate streaming. Many leading cameras use Constant Bit Rate by default (e.g., Sony and Panasonic). Those cameras never have problems with bandwidth in low light. Bandwidth savings will be 0% for those cameras. Even cameras, like Axis, easily can be switched into CBR mode also eliminating any low light bandwidth spikes.
UPDATE 12/2011: Axis's CBR mode acts as bandwidth ceiling allowing for minimal bandwidth consumption during the day or low motion scenes but stopping bandwidth spikes at night without needing to add in an IR illuminator. It is a 30 second configuration change.
Bottom line: you do not need to buy Raytec's products to reduce bandwidth and storage costs. Raytec is either grossly incompetent or purposefully manipulative not to explain CBR or bandwidth caps in their 'educational' materials.
Error #2: Confusing Gain Control and Low Light Impacts
It is a myth that low light increases bandwidth consumption. Increasing gain levels is the real cause. Raytec is confusing correlation with causality. Indeed, we have tested increasing gain levels even when there is plenty of light. Bandwidth still spikes. Why? High levels of gain drive bandwidth consumption not insufficient light.
This has a very important impact on camera selection and bandwidth problems. Since camera manufacturers implement gain (and encoding) differently, some camera manufacturers are far worse in pumping up gain and in handling noise from gain control. Raytec picked Arecont cameras for its tests. Unfortunately, Arecont is one of the worst low light bandwidth performers in the dozens of cameras we have tested (see test results of Arecont's low light bandwidth issues here, here, here and here).
Understand the particular camera you are using and how bad its low light bandwidth consumption is. If you care about reducing bandwidth and storage consumption and want/need to use VBR, consider avoiding bad performers like Arecont.
Error #3: More Bandwidth is Useful In Low Light
There is almost no benefit of increasing bandwidth consumption in low light, high noise environments. We have ran various tests with the same low light conditions but at sharply different bit rates. Image quality is essentially the same.
Using CBR or even VBR with a bandwidth cap will eliminate any spikes in bandwidth without reducing image quality. No Raytec illuminator required.
Error #4: Unrealistic Test Scenes
Most of Raytec's tests are done in very small areas such as a cardboard box. Here's an example of one Raytec test environment:
If your real world surveillance cameras are monitoring the insides of a cardboard box and are using VBR, Raytec illuminators will definitely massively reduce bandwidth consumption. However, this is pointless. It is easy to illuminate small areas but those areas do not reflect real world conditions.
Unfortunately only one of Raytec's test results are outdoors (the most common use of IR). However, again it is in a relatively small backyard scene.

For $20 pesos, that's $1.07 the best carnitas taco.
For $20 pesos, that's $1.07 the best carnitas taco.
We've had another set of guests this week and construction started on the remodel. So I'm back to sleeping outside and grabbing anything I need out of the trailer when no one is in there. Good news is I have a place to land for some alone time starting tonight. It's pictured below. The house has an ocean view to the west, mountain view on the east with friends from Montana staying on their property right down the road. In the midst of it all, I did have a dinner party last night to gather new friends and old. It was fun being a hostess down here. Just woke up at 7:00AM to learn we need to drive to Cabo for some building supplies. This is how it goes, no down time and off we go.
PS, Cookie, the puppy has been spayed since I last wrote and doing great. She continues to be a prize of a dog, very smart and personable. I look forward to catching you up more when time allows.
Where I get to house sit
I'm back at my nephew's even though my room is not ready. Slept upstairs of the main house in the open air with my great-niece and the two boys who are visiting and the puppy. It felt so good with the breeze, waves and otherwise quiet. Cookie was in her kennel for about 30 minutes before she started whining. I didn't want her to keep other's up so she slept with me the rest of the night. She did not get up until the morning. Such a good puppy. I look forward to being on puppy duty until I go to Cabo on the 4th for a day or two. My dear friend, Amy and her husband, Jamie or sometimes known as Scott Knight (once he becomes a famous drummer that's what his name will be!) are on a cruise. They will be in Cabo for the day on the 4th. Not sure where their ship will port. However, Amy said I should just look for the big white ship. I'll let you know how that works out.
It's New Year's Eve day. Everyone left early to go surf for about an hour. Cookie and I are so content to be here on the open air 2nd floor with coffee and peace and quiet. They will show back up before you know it. Food will be fixed and preparations made to get back out to the beach for more surfing. Cookie and I will go for a bit at the 2nd go round. Not sure what the plans are for New Year's Eve. Rancho Pescadero , the fancy hotel a block away from the house will have fireworks. Maybe we will walk to the beach to watch.
Morning time
My room
Wow, I'm here. Got here just in time for the sunset. Then a bite to eat in Todos Santos. I'm settled in at my nephew's. He's in bed early since he has been working so hard on his house. It is beautiful. Tomorrow the plan is to get up early, run some errands then go try out some nearby hot springs. His wife, child and friends will be arriving on Friday. We want to see how nice the hot springs are so we can take everyone up there as a surprise.
The house is about 2 blocks off the beach. From the 2nd story of the house, one can catch a sunset and smell of the ocean. By the sound of the waves as I write this, it sounds as if we are right on the beach. Thinking it might be almost too loud if we were right on the beach. This is perfect.

Columbus Circle's Time Warner Center will be renamed the Deutsche Bank Center, Commercial Observer reported on Monday. The name change comes as the Deutsche Bank inked a deal for 1.1 million square feet at the complex. The 25-year lease gives the German bank all available office space at the building except on its 20th floor.
Related Companies developed the Time Warner Center, a two-tower building of mixed-use offices, in 2003. With Time Warner's impending relocation to Hudson Yards next year, Related, along with GIC of Singapore and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority, bought back the offices in 2014 for $1.1 billion.
The complex's south tower at 25 Columbus Circle, features luxury condominiums, and the north tower, at 80 Columbus Circle, contains apartments from the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. The building is home to CNN's New York City headquarters, five-star restaurants, and high-end retail.
The New York Post first reported Deutsche Bank's interest in moving to the building in January. The bank's current headquarters are located at 60 Wall Street and are expected to move into the complex in the third quarter of 2021.
At over one million square feet, the real estate deal is the second-largest lease of the year. The asking rent has not yet been made public.

Filter by Category
Anse Boudin · Praslin
Anse Cimitière · Praslin
Anse Cimitière is a small beach in the south of Praslin. This beach is divided into two halves, one of which is more popular than the other thanks to its proximity to the Coco de Mer and Black Parrot Suites hotel. With calm, shallow water and beautiful trees to provide shade, there is much to warrant a visit here.
Anse Georgette · Praslin
Anse Gouvernement · Praslin
Anse Gouvernement is a beautiful beach located in front of some of Praslin's best-loved hotels, including the Hotel l'Archipel, which is built onto the beach itself. This bay is also great for a number of activities, including snorkelling, swimming, sailing, and fishing, ensuring that everyone will find something to like about this beautiful beach.
Anse Kerlan · Praslin
Anse Kerlan lies on the north-west coast of Praslin. Over recent years, the area has been badly affected by rising sea levels and erosion. Therefore, artificially-placed rocks act as breakwaters, dividing the beach itself into smaller sections. This unique spectacle makes Anse Kerlan a different experience for your Seychelles beach day.
Anse l'Amour · Praslin
Anse la Blague · Praslin
Anse la Blague is a calm, secluded beach in the south-east of Praslin with shallow water, especially at low tide, making it great for swimming or snorkelling. At high tide, the sea here can become rougher, so make sure you time your visit right. Anse la Blague also offers views of two other Seychelles islands, Grande Soeur and Petite Soeur.
Anse la Farine · Praslin
Anse la Farine is a calm, tranquil beach in the south-east of Praslin, situated in front of the Emerald Cove Hotel. As it is only accessible by boat, the beach is often empty, save for a few patrons of the hotel. That said, it offers plenty to merit a visit, including snorkelling, kayaking, and swimming.
Anse Lazio · Praslin
Anse Lazio is probably the most famous beach on Praslin thanks to its picturesque, postcard scenery, including perfect white sand, crystal-clear water, imposing palm trees, and much more. Ranked the sixth-best beach in the world by TripAdvisor in 2015, it's easy to see why Anse Lazio is so popular amongst holidaymakers!
Anse Madge · Praslin
Anse Madge is an unusual beach by Seychelles standards in that it is almost always empty of tourists. This spot is, however, used extensively by Seychelles fishermen, as is the case with much of Baie Sainte Anne. Therefore, the main appeal of the beach is the chance to experience the daily life of the Seychellois first-hand.
Anse Petite Cour · Praslin
Anse Possession · Praslin
Anse Volbert (Cote d'Or) · Praslin
Fond de l'Anse (Grand Anse) · Praslin
Fond de l'Anse is a long, open bay with shallow water, calm waves, and excellent access to both hotels and facilities. The colours of the water here can be especially beautiful, while the beach is also good for snorkelling and windsurfing, and the water is shallow enough to swim without any problems.
Petite Anse Kerlan · Praslin
Petite Anse Kerlan is a small, busy beach in the north-west of Praslin, close to Anse Georgette and the Constance Lemuria Resort. The beach is almost exclusively visited by guests of the resort, but calm waters and beautiful rocky formations provide a few reasons to make the journey from further afield if you so wish.

Yup you can guess what happened there.. Did make me laugh, luckily it all still worked afterwards
We got a load of HP laptops all indentical which run Igel client configured for Citrix use.
We get the odd call to say its running slow when they log on etc (Just normally reset the citrix profile as nowt special saved in it)
But always get the odd person who wont have it so we keep a couple of spares and just swap the laptop out for a spare one and put the swopped one back out in stocl untill the next call and swop again.
We dont even bother to boot the things up when swopped as there is really no point..
its the illusion you have done something that pays off
About 3 years had a call from local Crem to report PC kept shutting down near the Crem machine where the bodies go.
So sent across one of the minions to go take a look and he bought it back to site as indeed was over heating.
So the poor lad takes this apart and its full of (I kid you not) white soot.
So he happily goes on with clean it out etc.. untill i explain to him what the soot could possiably be...
Image that your last resting place wedged in the back of an HP DC5750.....
I had a lifemobile 3g sim.
They launched teh offer for 10 quid so signed up.
Got sent a new plusnet sim to replace old one.
Had no 4g data for 2 weeks.
Rang up again to be told i would have to be sent another 3g life mobile activate that sim then stick in another 4g sim and activate that and all was well..
What a game though
We don't like you using classic shell so we have removed it for you...
Which i thought was nice.....
What next.... we see you have lots of porn and we have removed it for you....(Thats stored on the 02 USB stick now)

Let us keep our fashion sense intact and go fight away the cold. So just grab this checklist and get ready to embrace the hot chocolate weather!
Hoodies and Sweatshirts
Hoodies scream comfort. They are basically sweatshirts with a bit thicker material and a hood attached near the collar area. Make it a casual style by layering up or be snuggly and sleep with an oversized hoodie on, comfort is all you would feel. You can wear it with track pants or shorts, with skinny jeans or skirts, it goes well with anything.

Be it a skirt, denim jeans, a sleeveless dress, or a blazer, it teams up pretty well. Having a black turtle neck has its plus points. They appear chic and are also fit for formal occasions. So go, grab that Turtleneck, and stuff it in your closet!
Do not forget your thermals
Make sure to have your thermals added to the list because they are saviors. They can be worn under anything and protect you with a warm layer beneath your normal wear. They are made of either cotton or wool with a thin lining of polyester and keep you nice and warm. Your jeans not providing you enough warmth? Wear a thermal underneath! Not only as an innerwear, but these days we also get to see various fashionable thermals, so we can wear it as a regular fit!
Gloves and Socks
Enough of your body, now let us pamper your feet and hands, it is winter after all! Gloves and woolen socks keep your hands and feet nice and warm. Pick those colorful patterns, go with the stripes, go with whatever makes you feel good!
Swingy shawls and scarfs!
These goodies never get out of style. Be it an all-black outfit or an ethnic one, pair up shawls with anything, they will look elegant anyways! Lazy days bring carelessness, and these flowy garments will protect you against harsh winter even on those days. Just loosely wrap them around you and you are good to go.
Go aesthetic with ankle boots
Being the most versatile, ankle boots are evergreen on fashion. They do not seem to get old as they give us the satisfaction of being aesthetic and protect our feet from cold! And believe it or not, winter is the perfect time to flaunt these boots and go glamorous. Not to mention that they go with absolutely anything.
Protect your ears with caps and beanies
Give your head some attention too. Beanies are the best for protecting your ears and head. Known for their versatility; they go well with everything and anything. It gives you a bold and cute look depending upon the outfit you choose while protecting your ears all along.
Go chic with leather jackets
Want to add a touch of coolness to your wardrobe? A leather jacket is the answer! They pair well with anything and give you a hot, bold, badass, and chic look. Pair it with ankle boots and high waist jeans, and let the visuals explode.
The basic – Sweaters and jackets
Let us not forget the basics this winter. You can wear sweaters over collared shirts, jeans, midi skirts, and trousers and they will still look as pretty as forever! You can go simple this season and go for these basics. These are the must-haves of every winter fashion, so do not cut slack on them.
A friendly tip! Oversized sweaters also work as dresses. So, pair them up with high boots and a belt and let the fashion flow!
Padded jackets or puffers, jeans, overcoats, and blazers can also be added to this list, which can be worn according to how harsh winters are in your region and hence make your winter magical!
Let's wrap it up
'Winter is not a season; it is a celebration'

The kitchen fan did make noise. It sounded like it was running fine. There just wasn't any air coming out of the louvers in the front. I thought maybe it was ducted up through the roof. NOPE! I thought "maybe" it was ducted out the back, into a duct in the wall, then outside. So I walk around ou...

I was doing an inspection a while back, and pulled the cover off the electric panel in the garage to check it out. After I finished inspecting, I started to put the cover back on when the lights went off in the garage. I quickly checked to see if I had tripped a breaker, but none were tripped. NO...

Obama's second term and the chemical industry: regulation and opportunity
January 9th, 2013
A recent article in Chemistry World (December 2012) highlighted two contrasting responses to Barack Obama's continuing occupancy of the White House. Some in industry see him as supporting increasing regulation, thereby making trading conditions harder in the US. Others see increasing regulation as providing a way in which to differentiate between 'commodity' and 'high-tech' suppliers.
However, supposedly less-developed nations are investing heavily in research, and wages there are increasing, with workers starting to demand better conditions. The stereotypical images are fading fast.
Problems create opportunities. The problem faced by the US, Japan and the European nations is that, unless the chemical industry embraces innovation, eastern nations will become better at the technology as well as costing less. Therefore surely the only way forward is to face the challenges and to innovate in every possible way? The US chemical industry ought not to to resist regulation at all costs, and should recognise that holding onto substances and processes that have a poor acceptability profile is not a strategy for success. We at Peter Fisk Associates want our work to contribute to a forward-looking chemical industry that meets the challenges of the 21st century with responsibility and innovation.

10 Funniest AR-15 Custom P-Mags
Firing an AR-15 is supposed to be fun. How can you not enjoy popping off dozens of bullets at targets in a single minute? You might not know this, but customizing your AR-15 can be fun too. For example, you could always get a more traditional and cool-looking p-mag. However, you can also store your bullets in a custom p-mag with a funny design. Here is a list of the 10 funniest AR-15 custom p-mags, for anyone who likes both rifles and humor.
What are the Best AR-15 Mags?
To those who consider having an AR-15 is a necessity, the bigger necessity is to have the best of AR 15 accessories, especially the magazine.
The market of AR-15 mags is wide and massive. Hence, certainly, there are multiple options available in the market but what is more important is to make the right choice which calls for a good amount of knowledge.
There are different factors which count in at this stage. Before we jump on to the deciding factors and types of AR-15 mags available, we must know the importance of a right AR-15 mag.
Importance of the Right AR-15 Mag
5 Best AR-15 Mag Brands
AR-15 rifles are more than capable of firing more rounds in a minute than most other guns on the market. Of course you cannot fire any bullets from your rifle if you do not have a magazine in your rifle. Pretty much every AR-15 comes bundled with one or two but if you want to take full advantage of its capabilities, you really should get more than just one or two.

Here's a fun kata:
Create a
blendfunction that, given two lists of the same length, returns a new list with each element alternated. E.g.:
blend [1, 2, 3] [4, 5, 6] => [1, 4, 2, 5, 3, 6]
As with all challenges, it can be solved in many different ways. However this particular one is easily solvable with functional programming techniques such as recursion.
You can try implementing it on your own first or just look straight at the solutions below.
Solution in Elm
The one below is probably the most straightforward solution:
blend : List a -> List a -> List a
blend xs ys =
case xs of
x :: xs' -> x :: blend ys xs'
_ -> []
Notice how I exchanged the arguments in the recursion call. That did the trick!
Let's try it in the REPL – I added slashes so you can copy-paste the function:
$ elm-repl
> blend xs ys = \
case xs of \
x :: xs' -> x :: blend ys xs' \
_ -> []
<function> : List a -> List a -> List a
> blend [0,0,0] [1,1,1]
[0,1,0,1,0,1] : List number
Solution in Swift
We can achieve the same in Swift by using an extension that splits up an Array into head and tail (credits to Chris Eidhof):
extension Array {
var match : (head: T, tail: [T])? {
return (count > 0) ? (self[0],Array(self[1..<count])) : nil
And here's the solution:
func blend(firstArray: Array<AnyObject>, secondArray: Array<AnyObject>) -> Array<AnyObject> {
if let (head, tail) = firstArray.match {
return [head] + blend(secondArray, secondArray: tail)
} else {
return []
If you know of a better way, please let me know! Also feel free to leave a comment with any other alternative solution, even in other languages.

We recently had the pleasure of interviewing one
of the nicest, most down to earth people you're ever going to meet,
Bellport's own Isabella Rossellini. The occasion was a special limited
showing of her newest film, "Late Bloomers," at the Plaza Cinema & Media
Arts Center (Plazamac) in Patchogue. Ms. Rossellini stars, along with
William Hurt, in this wonderful and quirky new film.
If you're in your 60's, you'll see yourself and your friends on the screen. If you're in your 40's, you'll see your parents on the screen. If you're in your 20's, you'll see your grandparents on the screen and understand why they aren't wearing shawls and sitting in rockers in front of a TV set as you expected them to. Let's face it, life after 60 isn't what it used to be and that's great!
"Late Bloomers" is a comedy about age. It was written and directed by Julie Gavras, the daughter of Academy Award winning director, Costa Gavras. The stars play a long married couple living in London and when their last child leaves the house, the couple is left with the unnerving reality of enduring each other's company as they cope with the stresses and strains—physical and emotional—of growing older.
Ms. Rossellini is known for wearing many different "hats." She has had and continues to have careers in film, modeling, cosmetics, theatre, and TV. She is a writer, activist, and benefactor to many organizations and groups. Winner of many awards, Ms. Rossellini has even written and co-directed a series of short films where she reenacts the mating rituals of various animals, including a male worker bee.
Ms. Rossellini feels she is drawn to unusual projects because of her father, Roberto Rossellini, the famed director, who was known as an experimental film maker and pioneered many different film styles. As a result, she feels comfortable and "at home" with unusual projects.
We were surprised to find that the writer/director of Late Bloomers, Julie Gavras, is only 35 or 36 years old. Ms. Rossellini feels that Ms. Gavras gained her insights into what life is like as you get older by watching her parents. Ms. Gavras comes from a family that's half French and half Greek and her father is quite famous as a director and film preservationist. In the film, rather than being a famous director, William Hurt plays the role of a famous architect. Ms. Gavras' mother was completely dedicated to the family and "schlepped" the family around the world where her father was making films. Ms. Rossellini feels the film is really an "homage" to Ms. Gavras' parents.
"We are part of the first generation who, while in their 60's, may have another 20 or 30 years to look forward to and there really isn't any design as to what we're supposed to do. Retiring was meant for the last six or seven years of your life where you went on a cruise or trip to where ever you wanted to go and die, but this isn't something you would do for the last 20 or 30 years of your life. In some ways, it's like graduating from high school. You're faced with the question, 'What do I want to do with the rest of my life?'
If you have passion, you are blessed, but if you don't have passion, this can be quite a difficult time of life. We sometimes feel enslaved by the roles that are given to us, when we are young being a student, when you're an adult, work and raising a family responsibly. You sometimes feel constrained, but at our age there is on one hand total freedom, but then sometimes the question, what do we do with it."
Ms. Rossellini feels blessed with many interests. She can lose herself in working on a film or working with the Guide Dog Foundation raising puppies. She just bought 30 acres in Brookhaven and has always dreamed of owning a little farm. She's looking forward to working with the Organic Gardening organization in Brookhaven Hamlet.
Ms. Rossellini learned about Bellport in 1982 while working as a model with famed photographer Bruce Weber. At that time she lived in the City and because she didn't drive, it was very easy to take a train to the Bellport Station and then take a cab to anywhere she wanted to go. She would do this when she was working with Bruce Weber, but also when she just wanted to get away or go to the beach for the day.
When her daughter was born, she thought that maybe she should buy a little home in the area for weekends because that way she could have a swimming pool and her daughter could learn how to swim. Her first home, which she owned for many years, was in East Patchogue, but one day on a bike ride, she rode past a barn and 6 acres in Bellport that she fell in love with. It gave her lots of room and the ability to garden, which she loves.
Ms. Rossellini sold the home in East Patchogue and began work on restoring the barn and turning it into her home, but at that point, she was still using it as a weekend home. Then, when her son started high school, he wanted to study Marine Biology and didn't want to live in the City, so she decided to move to Bellport full time. Her son is now a student at Stony Brook.
It's not unusual to have celebrities visiting or living in Bellport. Unlike the "Hamptons" where celebrities are actively sought out, in Bellport, "The community really respects who you are as a person and they completely understand that this is your private home, your private life, and that you are here instead of in the Hamptons because you want this privacy." This is what allowed Ms. Rossellini to become part of the community. "There isn't that burden of having to be all done up, dressed up, or having to be a persona." She can simply be herself. Ms. Rossellini likes the Hamptons. "They are beautiful and I go often to visit friends or just walk on the beach, but I'm a little bit afraid that in the summer I wouldn't want to live there."
What is different about Isabella Rossellini is that she really has become an active part of the community. She wants programs like the Plazamac to work and that's why she supports it. She doesn't want our community to turn into Nassau County or suburbia. She wants it to retain its rural flavor. To her, this is about quality of life. Her children can grow up seeing a farm and knowing how it works instead of just going to a supermarket. "It's such an addition to a life and it needs to be preserved." She says that is partially why she recently bought the 30 acres in Brookhaven Hamlet.
Finally, you'll probably be surprised to know that Isabella Rossellini is very involved in training puppies for the Guide Dog Foundation. She takes them into her home until they are one year old and can begin their formal Guide Dog training program. It takes a very special person to be able to take a puppy into your home for the first year of its life and then let it go knowing that it's for the better good and you're making an important contribution to another person's life.

The article on Isabella Rossellini is such a treat for me since I've had the pleasure of meeting Isabella whenever she came to our property to get first hand information on the house and land up for sale. I'm happy to know so much more about her and her interests and activities. I found her so enthusiastic and so in love with life, and what I read here fills in the picture I already had of her. Thank you.

Great article. For many years I have stated the greatest asset that this village has is not only the bay, ocean, tennis, golf etc. but foremost the 'RESIDENTS' and Isabella confirms my philosophy. She embodies what we all must strive for!!

I found the interview most interesting and revealing especially about the guide dog foundation and her work with it. Also very happy to see that she has purchased the Marist Brothers' adjacent property. Always knew that she is a very down to earth person. Good for her and her family.

Mozilla brings back Stylish Add-on to Firefox after it was Banned Last Year
The Stylish add-on, with which you can give websites their very own style, is back for Firefox. This improvement has been welcomed by many users. The history of this Add-on is quite complicated as it was supposedly twice removed and added back before it was removed again. Now it has been added back as reported by Vess (@VessOnSecurity).
Remember the Firefox extension Stylish that was found to snarf browser history? That was removed from the store, then added again, then again removed? Well, it's back:https://t.co/VIwZdW9ivw
This is getting ridiculous, folks.
— Vess (@VessOnSecurity) August 16, 2018
Browser Add-on Stylish is a very popular browser add-on which was available for browsers like Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Opera. Users love it and it is used widely across the internet community with 1.5 million Google users taking advantage of it. It is basically a user style manager which is used for redesigning the web. It makes it convenient to define skins and themes for various websites. This browser extension became an instant hit as it allowed users to place their own overlays over websites and hide any unwanted features that they do not wish to view. Moreover, it lets users customize websites according to their wish with custom user styles and change the color, background, scheme and skin even for websites such as YouTube, Facebook and Google. Not only this, the already chosen and installed themes can easily be disabled, enabled or completely removed to be replaced by another theme.
The add-on Stylish has been brought back in the Mozilla's add-on storehouse. What users should know: This expansion was criticized some time prior as a user data collector and has been prohibited and banned a year back from Mozilla's Add-on store.
Owing to its notoriety of collecting data of users' website visits in a way which makes it convenient to reveal users' identity to third parties, Google and Mozilla banned it last year. It is indeed surprising as to why Mozilla decided to bring it back to its browser after it was criticized for compromising users' identity.

Getting to Know You - An Interview with Phebe Tinker
Atonement Interviews
When Mother Erika suggested this assignment, it sounded both interesting and challenging. Interesting to talk to different people, including ones I didn't know well. Challenging to try to give a sense of who they are. Perhaps the most challenging aspect was conveying in my words just how interesting the conversation turned out to be. I didn't have an extensive list of questions. I figured they would come to mind. I did however have 2 basic questions in mind. One was suggested by one of my past French teachers. At a social gathering the French would not ask: "What is your occupation?" That was considered trying to categorize people. Rather, they would ask: What is your passion? So that was one of the questions. The other one was something that always intrigues me. Could you give me your philosophy of life in 25 words or less? And they did. - Helen Lambin
Phebe Tinker
If you don't know Phebe Tinker, you may have very likely seen the results of her work on behalf of Church of the Atonement ,at either the Gala or afterwards on tables in Montgomery Hall. Phebe is legendary for her ability to obtain donated gifts for the silent auction that is as part of the fundraiser for outreach. She has also been a traveler in both profession and location.
Phebe was born in Stowe, Vermont, and grew up in New England. But then moved southwards to attend Washington College in Chesterfield, Maryland, founded in 1782, and one of the ten oldest colleges in the United States. This time frame seems very suitable for a New Englander. After receiving her bachelor's degree, Phebe studied to be a paralegal, and briefly worked in a law office in Philadelphia, but decided paralegal work wasn't for her. And moved from law to theater. She started as an usher at a major theater in Baltimore at a major theater, and moved on to serving in Public Relations for Arena Players, one of the oldest African American theater companies.
In 1981 she moved to the Chicago area when she was awarded a scholarship to study for her master's degree at Rosary College, now Dominican University, in River Forest. For twenty-two years Phebe worked for The Chicago Tribune as a Data Base Prepare Assistant. Her role included helping proofread material, format, and assign key words to stories so that they would appear in digital form on the same date as the printed article. One of the first people she met there was Clarence Page, the well-known long-time columnist, Since I've read him for years, I asked what he is like in person. She described him as very personable and knowledgeable. This is no surprise to anyone who has read his columns or seen as a panelist on PBS Chicago Week in Review. Phebe now lives in Evanston. She chose it, she said, because it looks like New England.
Her passion: great love of history and ideas. As well as fiction and literature. (Yes, we agreed there is a distinction.) In her words: "I love to sit in my Queen Anne chair with a book in my hands and a cat on my lap."
As for her philosophy of life, it expanded to philosophies, all interesting, some included here. "In my life I've come to realize that every person has a story." "Bloom where you're planted." And, from a sign at Christ University Church of Baltimore: "Each person I meet is part of my growth."
And finally, "Be resilient and have a great sense of humor."

India's smallest state Goa is renowned for its gorgeous beaches, and beautiful Mandovi and Zuari rivers, better known as its lifelines. The two rivers are also among the busiest in the country. The state is also famous for its mangroves and backwaters. A kayaking expedition is the best thing one would ever ask for while on holidays in this picturesque state.
The months from October through May are the perfect time to visit the state for a kayaking expedition. Tourists from around the world are instantly attracted to Goa to enjoy kayaking because of its exotic beaches that are used as perfect bases to set off for paddling across the sea caves. During the process the tourists also indulge to snorkel the marine reserves and discover offshore islands.
For all those passionate about sea kayaking, the Dona Paula Beach is undoubtedly the perfect choice in the state. Kayaking is also organized by several popular clubs as well in Chicalim, Vasco Da Gama. The clubs here specialize in nature and ecotourism and can be used for multi-day kayaking trips, daily kayaking trips and other kayaking training trips. You can surely look forward to an unforgettable experience while on an exciting kayaking expedition in Goa.
If you are planning a kayaking holiday in this magnificent tiny state, you need to earmark at least one week or 7 days exclusively on the tour itinerary. There are many clubs and tour operators offering a fabulous experience. Just sample all that you expect to see and do during your 6 nights and 7 days excursion to Goa. Your trip will take you to Nerul River, Dona Paula Beach, Goan Backwaters, Benaulim and Sal Backwaters. Apart from the beaches and backwaters, you will get opportunity to see the Goa Chitra Museum, crocodiles and many species of fish and birds. There are many activities for you to indulge in during the week-long trip. These include snorkeling, scuba diving, Banana boat ride, parasailing and jet skiing.
Goa's vast blue water bodies and alluring beaches are the ideal places for your kayaking expedition. While immersing in the adventure and fun of kayaking, you shouldn't miss out visiting the historic museums and wonderful churches around the formerly Portuguese-ruled state. These will give you an insight into the vibrancy of the Goan people and their lifestyle. All along the kayaking tour you will also keep your taste buds tickling and hankering for more and more with the exotic and authentic Goan cuisines.
Here's what a short itinerary on kayaking expedition to Goa will typically look like. After arriving in Goa's capital city Panaji, spend the entire day relaxing and strolling in the streets. Set off for sailing in the Arabian Sea and kayaking in Sal backwaters on the second day. Your third day will be exciting as you can go for Banana boat ride, enjoy parasailing and jet skiing, head off for sightseeing at Goa Chitra Museum, and spend the remaining part of the hectic day shopping at the Colva Beach. On the fourth day of your stay, you can go for a short walking trip of Old Goa, participate in a scuba diving pool session, and go for a river cruise or a Crocodile Safari. Spend the entire fifth day snorkeling and scuba diving. Now you are into the final stage of your Goa sojourn. It is sixth day of your stay which you should entirely spend for kayaking in Nerul River. Your exciting holiday has come to an end and it's time for you to depart from Goa taking back along with you the fabulous experience and memories of your enjoyable holidays.

The Detective Pikachu Movie is on the horizon and I know many of you are crossing your fingers hoping that it will be a good video game adaptation unlike so many movies based around video games. Interestingly, website Super Bro Movies says it has heard the following from various sources who attended the test screening of the Detective Pikachu Movie, which is due to arrive in your local cinema on the 10th of May 2019:
"Jam-packed with easter eggs, good performances, and a great script, Detective Pikachu wowed the audience with what seems like the first legitimately great video game film. Keep in mind, this was just one screening, but the early results are very promising. As someone who isn't familiar with the property, I find myself looking forward to the project a lot more."
"A lot of the praise goes to Ryan Reynolds as Pikachu, who apparently knocked it out of the park. Expect the usual charm he brings as he portrays arguably the most recognizable Pokémon ever. It is also said he has great chemistry with the lead Justice Smith, who plays Tim Goodman, the son of the missing detective. The CGI is not finished, but Pikachu's look was apparently very well done. As was previously reported, all of the creatures will look hyper-realistic, similar to Rocket Racoon in the Guardians films."
"Speaking of Pokémon, we will not divulge exactly which ones made an appearance but expect some GREAT surprises that will have hardcore fans foaming at the mouth. The film avoids relying on fan service and instead focuses on telling a mystery in a unique, neon-lit world where Pokemon and humans live in harmony."

Burschytskyi Dump is one of three observation points of the city of Kryvyi Rih. Burschytskyi Dump is a giant embankment, at the foot of which the central and southern part of the city are spread. This facility is an industrial heritage object made by Novokryvorizkyi former mining and processing enterprise.
Dump is hanging over the Ingulets river. To get to it you have to make a 3 kilometers long walk and come up to a mountain.
From its highest point if turning round in one place you can see: a chain of mines going far away to the north Kryvyi Rih region; old part of the city; pipes and shops of PJSC "ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih", quarry number 2 bis of the same company; a quarry and dumps of the Southern Mining and Processing Complex far away; a lot of young and old dumps; working equipment; channel of the Ingulets river, lodged between dumps and quarries; a tall prerevolutionary (made in 1884) Belelyubskyi Bridge of the Catherine Railway; numerous objects of industrial heritage of Hdantsivka mine; processing plants of the Southern Mining and Processing Complex "ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih".
The panorama and scale of the area are really stunning! The history of the city and its present realities appear before eyes of tourists in all its beauty and uniqueness! Just look and enjoy!
The bottom of Burschytskyi Dump is of no less interest. Here you can see the ruins of industrial aboveground buildings of the Mines number 5 and New-South Valyavka of the former Illich Mine; open and gaping shafts of these mines are coming to a depth of 60 and 380 meters; you can hear the sound of falling stones into the bottomless depths of the dungeon.
Particularly fascinating is the view of the city from the Burschytskyi Dump height at night when Kryvyi Rih is transformed into a constellation of lights beckoning and attracting the curious eyes of the observer.

When I met Carrie Fisher at last May's Cannes Film Festival to moderate a panel with her, her beloved French bulldog Gary, and director Fisher Stevens celebrating the World Premiere of their new documentary Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds, I had no clue of course that just seven months later both of the title stars of this remarkable film would be gone well before its scheduled debut on HBO in the spring of 2017. Watching it then in stops and starts on my laptop (with the horrible wifi in my hotel room) in order to prep for the panel, I couldn't turn away from it and was struck by how brutally honest both Carrie and Debbie were in presenting themselves to the world in this way, warts and all.
You can count on one hand the number of superstars that would allow a camera to peer into their most private moments in this way. In many ways it is a valentine from a daughter to a mother, but also from one major star to another of different generations, but both with the same gut instincts that made them great – and enduring. It will floor you with the kind of unfiltered access this pair gave these filmmakers, resulting in a pure show business saga like no other that has now ended, in the waning days of 2016, also like no other.
It seems a terribly cruel coda, but when seen with some distance from this week's sad events, Bright Lights will likely stand as a stirring tribute to both who, as the film shows, lived side by side in a compound right off Coldwater Canyon. Now they are side by side again, odd and oddly comforting as that may sound. It is very clear Carrie, conflicted relationship and all, was looking out for her mother in these final years, and it will be nice to think she still is. It will be impossible for others now to watch this film the way that I and those who saw it in Cannes, Telluride, and a handful of other festivals saw it, but what is undeniably true is right there in its title. These were two very bright lights who fought insurmountable odds, and ups and downs in their lives and careers but always, always rose back to the top.
So much has been written about Carrie since Friday when she suffered cardiac arrest on that airplane that I can't really add much more than to agree she was an incomparable wit, a great writer and observer, a natural actress and most of all a terrific daughter, despite all those personal demons she had to conquer. But this cruel-seeming plot twist is incomprehensible. I can't dwell here though on the sadness now, so soon after Carrie, of hearing about the death of Debbie Reynolds, only on the joy that iconic and legendary career gave to so many even if life wasn't always fair to her in return.
She was a show business trouper if ever there was one, and it frustrated me that every single year when the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences had the opportunity to give her an Honorary Oscar, they didn't do it. Finally they did last year, but by then she was so sick she couldn't pick it up in person (her granddaughter Billie Lourd accepted it, and now has lost her mom and grandmother in the course of one day). It was the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, given more for philanthropic work in the industry than a film career. I was happy Debbie had an Oscar, but if anyone deserved it for more than charitable work it was this woman.
Every day I stare at my original one sheet poster from Singin' In The Rain (it is framed in the bathroom where, believe me, you can't miss it), and I look at those amazing names on the credits and think, well at least Debbie is still with us. Very few stars are ever even in a movie as lasting and classic at this one which only gets better with time some 64 years after it was made, and a musical that director Damien Chazelle often sites as a key inspiration for this year's Best Picture Oscar frontrunner La La Land. It was a hell of a way for this little girl from Burbank, as she sometimes liked to describe herself, to hit the big time opposite Gene Kelly and Donald O'Connor.
In another musical landmark in her career, she received her one and only Best Actress Oscar nomination in 1964 for the MGM film version of The Unsinkable Molly Brown, a role she got after Shirley MacLaine dropped out. She might have won too, but had the dumb luck for that movie musical to be completely overshadowed that year by two others with higher profiles in the race, My Fair Lady and Mary Poppins (Julie Andrews of course beat her for that Oscar). It is another point of irony in this very mean year – that can't end a moment too soon – that Tammy Grimes, the original Molly Brown on Broadway, just passed away as well. But the phrase "unsinkable " stuck with Debbie from then on and she owned it. A key song in the show, "I Ain't Down Yet" really defined her life didn't it?
Unsinkable was also the title of her second memoir released in 2013. She lived so much life she had to write two books about it, the first simply called "Debbie My Life" in 1988. She was indeed unsinkable, through busted marriages and bankruptcies, through the public humiliation of Eddie leaving her for best friend Liz, through collecting the prime Hollywood memorabilia and costume collection of all time only to have to sell it off in bits and pieces after she failed to find a home for it. Too bad the Academy didn't listen when Debbie met with them, on more than one occasion I am told, trying to convince them to help in her dream of a Hollywood museum, something ironically they are in the midst of sinking hundreds of millions into building now.
But the opportunity for all of those priceless pieces of the movies to be a part of it, even as the Academy scrambles for content, is now, well, gone with the wind.
There was probably no better natural comic talent than Debbie, though she never got the credit Lucille Ball did, and her own 1960's NBC sitcom came and went quickly. But I defy you to take a look at even some of her lesser known big screen comedies, like The Gazebo, Mary Mary, Goodbye Charlie, How Sweet It Is, The Mating Game, Susan Slept Here and others where she was able to take material that might have been beneath her talents and lift it to the skies with her impeccable timing.
In Norman Lear's 1967 Oscar nominated screenplay Divorce American Style she went toe to toe with Dick Van Dyke in a movie that will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year and still resonates. And then in 1996, long after her prime-time movie career was largely a thing of the past and she'd moved on to clubs and the stage, Albert Brooks cast her in his brilliant Mother and she socked home another one, but somehow inexplicably lost the Golden Globe Comedy Actress prize to Madonna in Evita and failed to get the Oscar nomination she richly deserved.
Don't take my word for it, just find it and watch. I could go on and on with my favorite Reynolds roles, from the feisty and stalwart Lillith Prescott in 1963's How The West Was Won, to the macabre pairing of Debbie with Shelley Winters in 1971's creepy What's The Matter With Helen?, to the touching and simply human 1956 The Catered Affair, the elegant pleasures of 1961's The Pleasure Of His Company opposite Fred Astaire, the underrated 1960 drama The Rat Race in which she was so good opposite Tony Curtis, and even to the irony of a revenge-filled 2001 ABC TV movie These Old Broads that paired her with, among others, once and then friend again Elizabeth Taylor in a fun and bitchy script written by none other than Carrie Fisher.
But let's face it she will always be remembered by most for Singin' in that Rain, as an unsinkable Titanic survivor, and of course, Tammy. Yes, that 1957 movie, Tammy And The Bachelor brought her a number one pop hit that followed her for her entire career. There wasn't a show she did where she didn't sing it, and she never disappointed the crowd. There were other Tammys after Debbie did that first film, but she was the only one people remembered.
Perhaps her proudest achievement though were her kids, who both were there with her right near her side in these last few years. "She wanted to be with Carrie," son Todd Fisher told our sister publication Variety after her sudden passing from a stroke today. In that HBO documentary Bright Lights, Carrie talks amusingly about how, early in her career, her mother would drag her on stage to join her in a song she liked to sing from the Unsinkable Molly Brown score. It was actually a love song called "I'll Never Say No". These were the lyrics:
I'll Never Say No To You, Whatever You Say Or Do. If You Ask Me To Wait For A Lifetime, You Know I Will Gladly Wait For A Lifetime Or Two.
What a pair of lifetimes those two had. Somewhere they are probably together singing that song one more time.

One pre-budget announcement, a 30% increase in funding for family violence services, is long overdue.In dollar terms it isn't a lot, but it is critical that much more is done to reduce both family violence and the effects of family violence.
I think it is one thing that was genuinely neglected by the National led government.
Significant funding boost for family violence services
Social services dealing most directly with the harm caused by family violence will get much needed support as the Government boosts funding to front line agencies for the first time in ten years.
"Nearly half of those receiving the increase are women's refuges who provide vital support keeping women and children safe," said Minister for Social Development Carmel Sepuloni.
"The 30 percent increase in funding is critical to the Government's efforts to begin to turn around New Zealand's tragic family violence record.
"Additional funding in 2019/20 will enable these critical front line agencies to expand into areas where there isn't currently any support or start addressing over demand in existing services.
"Family violence has a damaging, yet often hidden, impact on victims' lives including their ability to work and lead a normal life," Carmel Sepuloni said.
Through Budget 2018, the Government is allocating an additional $76.157 million over four years to support the delivery of Ministry of Social Development-funded family violence services for victims, perpetrators and their families.
Carmel Sepuloni said, "This funding will provide a boost to around 150 providers of family violence services nationwide."
This has benefits across portfolios.
Jan Logie, Under-Secretary to the Minister of Justice on Domestic and Sexual Violence Issues, also welcomed the new funding.
"This funding is an important first step, supporting organisations which do vital work but have been stretched to breaking point," Jan Logie said.
"As we get started on the broader work of challenging and responding to family and sexual violence, it's crucial that victims and their families are able to get the support they need now. Because they can't wait."
Minister for Children Tracey Martin said Budget 2018 funding would have an impact right across New Zealand.
"The announcement delivers on the Coalition Agreement between Labour and New Zealand First to increase funding in this area," Tracey Martin said.
Family violence feeds general societal violence, so it is critical it is reduced and dealt with more effectively.
I don't care whether this funding was promised during the campaign, negotiated when the Government was put together, or has come later. Better funding to address awful amounts of family violence is something that had to happen.

April 12, 2019
BJP President Amit Shah was slammed on Twitter by politicians, filmmakers, and the citizens after he revealed his party's plan on NRC and how it would benefit Indians in a rally in Kalimpong in Darjeeling.
"We will ensure implementation of NRC in the entire country. We will remove every single infiltrator from the country, except Buddha, Hindus and Sikhs," Shah said.
"We will remove Article 370 from Kashmir after forming the next BJP government at the Centre," Shah added.
"It is our commitment to bring in NRC across the country to chuck out each and every infiltrator. Unlike Mamata Banerjee, we don't treat infiltrators as our vote bank. For us national security is supreme. We would ensure that each and every Hindu and Buddhist refugee gets citizenship of this country," he said. Shah's statements against the Indian minorities did not sit well with many on Twitter and he was criticised for trying to bring "unrest" in the state and the country.
