Are these trusts investing their money into farms and houses, inflating the cost of farms and houses and in turn boosting the value of their own assets... There is one documented case in Taranaki, so there must be a lot more undocumented.
$1.6 ummm I think you missed the word million there.
If Labour are planning on uses Apple iPad then this is a clear example of where a Chief technology office would have been of use. Even an Amazon fire would be a better device and their library of books would be an excellent add on to the tech. Better still...
Ture, but there is nothing that is the be all and end all. Having tablet computers would be access to ebook that schools can’t normally afford or access. The cost of some text books alone are more than the cost of a cheap tablet let alone the cost of half ...
It's closer to $200 once you add a monitor, power supply, sd card, mouse, keyboard, case and wifi. I really like the Pi (I have 2) but Tables are cheaper. $60nz delivered can get you a 7.0" Dual-core Android 4.2 Tablet PC w/ 512MB RAM, 4GB ROM, Wi-Fi The ...
I would have like to see Labour come out with Bigger class rooms but with two teachers per classroom. Having two teachers per classroom would greatly improve the quality of teaching and teachers as new Teachers could learn from experienced ones and the ...
Hopefully it would be a professional appointed to the job of Chief Technology Office and not some croney appointment. Having someone skilled in geek might have overrated the NoVapay problems and other such IT disasters. It think it would be a good idea and...
To be eligible to sign up for Facebook, you must be at least 13 years old. If a school is letting kids under that age use facebook then they are breaking facebook's terms and conditions.
For $100 +monitor ($100) you could buy a Raspberry Pi computer. They are great for educational needs like programming, web interaction, art, electronic and educational games (like minecraft). Tablets are overrated especially the over priced iPads, Android ...
Well said and I managed to share this post on Google+
Did some more testing, I wrote a greasemonkey script to show the number of G+ +1 each page has. While the share button stays blank the +1 counter often does have +'s. Script is here http://pastebin.com/pHm0mwR6
I have chrome with a +1 extension, it reports that http://thestandard.org.nz/lets-play-blame-the-public-servant/ has 3 +1's but the count on the page shows zero. I think there are a few people using G+ The only way I can share is to only share link and ...
I've tried 3 different browsers. Looking at old blog posts I see there are no G+ shares. I also notice that the G+ share is trying to link to the front page of the standard that mentions the story, it uses that text and those pictures on the g+ attempted ...
I would have thought that too but I get the same results using the +1 chrome extension and when I use the share on google that you mentioned that is on the page.
I don't see that link when I read via RSS. Just tried that on page g+ to share and it failed too. Tried with adblock disabled and no luck. Using Win7 and Chrome browser.
I always have trouble sharing your posts on Google+ not sure why. Can anyone else share the standard posts on Googles social network Google+ ?
Technically it was not a donation. He purchased a signed bottle of wine. He did not donate a $100k and get a free bottle of wine. Under the laws at the time, these kinds of purchases from political parties where no classed as donations and did not need to ...
It was not a donation it was a purchase at a fundraiser and was legally did not need to be declared under the rules at that time being different from a donation. It's all just distracting tripe and a backup up for National to use the 'they did it too' card...
On The Nation, John Key was busy inventing a new version of history. "Americans went to war in Iraq, it cost between 2 and 3 trillion US dollars and in the end we’re back in the situation again where virtually civil war is breaking out" John Key But umm ...
Will Nationals next trick be to reduce GST to the level is was before they increased it, after they had said they would increase GST. What a cunning plan, to get elected then cut great scheme only to reinstate them when a close election looms.
You missed another why that she may go, 'health issues' the other day on the news she said she had tests but it all seems ok. It could be a safe way for her to exit without National kicking her out our her quitting because of her actions.
Maybe the haters of the book should round all the copies up and burn them, like the nazies did. :/
I hope no MP's have coin collections, how would they explain owning a coin from the Roman Caligula era
In a Square room, which is a cude, there are 8 corners.
How many MP's have owned or read parts of Mein Kampf? Really, it's a collectible and most war memorabilia has had a dubious past. Theres no need to go all fascist on the rights of a collector of historic documents.
With Countdowns 100% money back and Product replacement guarantee, and the fact that they only play suppliers when items pass the checkout, one effective protest would be to buy an Ozzy product and then take it back. This would be a hit financially for ...
It doesn't add up. Looking at the numbers from the msd site, the $10.3 billion decrease doesn't add up to the figures on the site. It only shows $7.3 billion. There was $1.5B was added that was a methodology correction to the 2012 liability figures. So it ...
John Key admits to paying driver to break the law for him, putting lives other road users at risk. . "Mr Key hailed a tuktuk driver who ran every red light to get to the hotel in time, and was paid double." http://www.nzherald.co.nz/technology/news/article...
Burger King already advertises Tui beer with their meals, which are aimed at kids and they have a great range of gambling machines in their stores too when you can have the chance to play a machine and win great prizes like iPads. Maybe Burger King could ...
John Banks could swoop in, now that Act is dead and take the National leadership. Too soon for Simon Power to come back?
Matthew Hooton made his claim 5 times before he was told to shut up. He was given a warning at four and then said it again.
