The Market is Ripe for First-Time Property Buyers
Steadily growing house prices and the fact that banks are looking more favourably on first-time buyers make it a good time to get a foothold on the property ladder. However, while conditions are improving, it's still important for first-time buyers to get all their ducks in a row before making an offer.
According to ooba's latest statistics, June was the 14th consecutive month of price growth for first-time property buyers, and the eighth consecutive month of growth in overall residential property prices. The average price paid by first-time buyers in June is up 13% to R682,042 from the same month the prior year, and 52% of the home loan applications received by ooba in June were from first-time buyers.
"This shows that first-time buyers have a healthy appetite for property right now," says Kevin Mountjoy, ooba national sales manager. "Given that banks have eased their lending criteria, the current interest rate looks set to remain stable at these current low levels, and house prices are increasing, this makes it a good time for prospective buyers to get into the property market."
Mountjoy explains, however, that banks are far more likely to grant a homeloan at a favourable interest rate if the buyer is able to offer a deposit. He says that first time homebuyers need to be mindful of the following tips before starting the homebuying process:
1. Check your credit rating
The first thing that any bank will do when assessing your home loan application is check your credit rating. To avoid any nasty surprises or deal with any unresolved matters, you should check your rating before you get started. You are entitled to check your credit rating for free once a year. An ooba homeloan consultant can assist you with this.
2. Work out what you can afford
"Analyse your income and expenses very carefully to work out what you can afford," says Mountjoy. "Bear in mind that home ownership comes with additional expenses and responsibilities beyond merely paying a bond. You will need to repair and furnish your new home, and additional expenses always crop up."
You can use an online calculator like the ooba calculator (http://www.ooba.co.za/home-loan/calculators/bond-affordability-calculator) to work out exactly how much you can afford to spend. You can also get pre-qualified for a loan by an ooba homeloans consultant so that you can make offers on property with confidence.
3. Consider the interest rate
Interest rates look set to remain low for the time being, but it is always worth calculating what the difference in your bond repayments would be should the rate fluctuate. There should always be room in your budget for upward growth - especially if you buy when the interest rates are low.
4. Save up for a deposit
Banks are far more likely to grant a home loan if you have a deposit saved up. "It's good to aim at saving between 10% and 20% of the purchase price, although obviously the more you can offer, the better your chances of approval of your home loan, and at a favourable rate," says Mountjoy.
5. Learn about location
They say it's better to buy the worst house in a great area than the best house in a bad area. Look at the prices in the location you're considering and work out if you can afford to buy there. If not, try neighbouring areas. Consider your daily route to work, proximity to friends and family, proximity to good schools (even if you don't have children yet) and the crime rate. It also helps to spend time driving around the area in the daytime and at night to get a feeling for the kinds of people, noise levels and security concerns.
6. Inspect the property carefully
Don't let your excitement about owning a new home prevent you from being cautious. "When you're considering a property, you should check for cracks, water pressure problems, missing tiles, holes in the roof, wiring problems and anything else that will need fixing or replacement," says Mountjoy. "It is the buyers' responsibility to acquaint themselves with the condition of the home, so make sure you've been thorough."
7. Get your documents in order
Making an offer on a home and applying for a bond involves paperwork. This can be daunting, but the consultant who handles your application will guide you through it. To start your home loan application process, you will need at least the following documents:
- Your latest payslips and bank statements
- An Income and Expenditure statement (your consultant can help you with this)
- A Statement of Assets and Liabilities (and this)
- If you are not a SA citizen, copy of residence and work permits, otherwise
- Your SA identity document
8. Shop around for the best deal on your bond
When you are ready to make an offer on a property, it makes sense to apply for a bond from more than one bank. This allows you to be sure that you have the best opportunity for an approval, and at a favourable interest rate. ooba statistics show that 48.1% of first applications were declined in June 2012, however 27.9% of those applications declined by one lender were approved by another. This shows over 1 in 4 applications would have remained declined if the applicant had only applied to one institution.
"This is where the assistance of an expert mortgage originator like ooba is invaluable," says Mountjoy. "At no cost to you, they will present your application to a number of different banks in the best possible light. You only have to fill out the paper work once to cast as wide a net as possible in pursuit of the best deal."
Investing in property is usually the biggest financial commitment that any individual will make. Increasingly, people are looking to purchase a home with a friend, sibling or partner to halve the costs and increase the likelihood of bond approval. But as with any other big commitment, this is not a decision that should be taken lightly.
Homeowners can reduce the term of their homeloan and the total that they pay in with careful budgeting and clever tricks.
The proposed Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project tolls will have significant impact on where buyers will choose to purchase property in future, according to a survey conducted by ooba, South Africa's leading bond originator.
Security features of a house are one of the most important aspects South African consumers take into consideration when choosing a home. According to a recent PropertyGenie poll, hosted on behalf of ooba - South Africa's leading bond originator - most home buyers reported burglar bars and a burglar alarm as the most important home security features they would look for in a new home.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you have done for us. Your professionalism, friendliness and willingness to assist is admirable and much appreciated. It is wonderful to know that there are still people who value the word "service" and nothing was too much for you."
Carol Curtin of ooba was recommended to us when we were looking to purchase our first home. Carol and Bianca have truly gone the extra mile, not only to secure our first home loan, but assist us in what has been a very unpleasant home buying experience. If it were not for their amazing support and dedication, we may very well not have been buying the home we love. They took the time to understand our situation and help above and beyond their scope, I really could not be more grateful to them both and would never hesitate to recommend them to any of my family and friends.
"Your efforts in getting things done in the shortest possible time is admirable and highly appreciated.
I will definitely recommend your services in our social circles and to colleagues."
When buying a property, you only need to work with ooba.
Within a short space of time they managed to negotiate an excellent bank rate and homeowner's insurance at the best possible rate. Thanks for rendering a great service....at NO CHARGE to the customer.

So, I look in the mirror, fine, feel good about myself, a picture gets took of me? Looks completely different... for me anyway. So, why is this? And which is more accurate of what I look like, mirror or picture?
Most Helpful Girl
Personally, I think videos are more accurate than photos or the mirror. Photos only capture a moment in time and sometimes features don't translate well on camera. Mirrors show a backwards image. Videos account for both a 3D rendering and not being flip-flopped.
Personally, I look better on video than on camera. One time I made a video and uploaded it on my blog along with a picture I took. Same day, same lighting, same room, same clothes, everything the same. But a few people on my blog said they looked like two completely different people.11|00|0

Counselling Process
How to Prepare
Preparation Strategy
Make a proper Time Table
It is very important that you make a timetable and stick to it and you will have an exact idea of what you are required to study and the time required for it.
Concept clarity rather than routes learning
It is essential that you have a clear idea of the formulas and concepts rather than rote learning of things for the papers. While you might require it for memorizing formulas it is important that for other stuff you make sure you clear your basics and concepts before moving on.
Prepare Notes
It is very important to make small notes or a comprehensive list of formulas on each covered topic and chapter which will come in handy at the time of revision. This will require you to be regular with your work but will surely make things easy at the time of revision.
Seek Guidance
It is not possible for you to know everything in your syllabus, at least not at the time of preparation. Sooner or later you will run into a concept or so which will give you trouble and then it is best you seek guidance from an instructor or a teacher. It is necessary that you clear your doubts at regular intervals and don't prolong things for long. Getting into a good coaching class is nothing to be ashamed off and if anything a regular coaching class will enable you to avoid roadblocks in your preparation.
Sample Papers
Even though there may be a complete change in the exam pattern or the expected questions altogether, it is important that you practice on the sample and previous years question papers of Aurora's Management Aptitude Test AMAT (PGDM).You will know the existing pattern and have a fair idea of the type of questions to expect in the paper along with the time constraint.
Mock Tests
The paper pattern of Aurora's Management Aptitude Test AMAT (PGDM), duration of the paper and the number of questions to be attempted in the given amount of time is not something you will be able to pick up on the day of the examination. A Mock Test tests a student's abilities as it not only provides a similar feel of real exams but also helps in building speed and confident to face the exam. Furthermore, they can improve their performance to get an extra edge in actual exams.
Time Management
Time management can be learned through thorough practice and regular test taking. So it is important that you practice it and practice it well.

AICTE approval gives that authenticity to the program in terms of infrastructure, faculty strength, research, placements, and many other factors that ensure quality education. One must be careful with the term PGDM, as there are some B-Schools in India that offer PGDM even though they do not have AICTE approval. You are advised to refrain from joining such B' Schools unless they are reputed for quality education. By means of your own research, you may find out that AICTE approved B'Schools. PGDMs are more adaptable to market conditions as they don't have a legacy of a university system that treats all Post Graduate courses more or less in a similar manner.
All IIMs and many premier institutes including Aurora's Business School are AICTE approved. The quality of these institutes is vouched by their superior placement track record.

This has been boging me for a long time now.
Microsoft has this famous rss issue together with vista's autotuning level and I have lost control on it.
Normally if we install the snmp stuff on the server (sp2 / scalable network pack) I have to disable rss and chimney offload, to keep my vista machine up speed. Also I set the autotuning to disable on the vista client.
And now we are in server 2008 aera...
So enable all this back on?
Also I am trying to take some measures on doing this.
If I copy a large file say 3 Gb to the server from a vista client I can easily monitor the speed which is about 40-50 Mb/sec on 1Gb network. On a 100Mb network this is about 7 Mb/sec.
Are these normal value's or does anybody measure others?
If someone can shine some light on this please explain a normal setup for both server 2003 and server 2008 environment as well as for XP or Vista clients.
I lost it completly.

A Cruel Arithmetic, Inside the Case Against Polygamy (Irwin Law 2012) by Craig Jones is a new exposé of the polygamous community of Bountiful and the trial of its leadership. Former lead counsel for the Attorney General of British Columbia, Jones has written a 400-page insiders story about how he and his colleagues developed their arguments against polygamy. According to publicity materials, "Jones traces an unexpected evolution in his personal beliefs: from his initial Left Coast civil libertarian leanings against criminalizing polygamy to a firm opposition to polygamys cruel arithmetic that harms women and children, as well as society at large."
A Professor and the Interim Associate Dean of the Thompson Rivers University Faculty of Law, Jones teaches courses in torts, civil litigation and legal ethics. He is an alumnus of TRU. This is the first book published by a TRU Law faculty member. The TRU Faculty of Law, led by Founding Dean and Professor Chris Axworthy, QC, is Canada's newest law school and the first outside of a major metropolitan centre.
According to the author's website:
"Craig Jones teaches courses in torts, civil litigation and legal ethics, and presently serves as Interim Associate Dean of the Faculty of Law. He graduated from UBCs law school in 1998, and was called to the Bar of British Columbia the following year. In 2002 he earned his Masters degree from Harvard Law School.
"Professor Jones has taught at UBC and Universite de Sherbrooke, and has been a frequent guest lecturer across the country. His first book, Theory of Class Actions, was shortlisted for the Walter Owen Book Prize for the best English-language Canadian legal text. Harvard law professor David Rosenberg wrote that the work reorients and advances the agenda for research and the terms of debate on mass tort class actions, and will advance thinking on mass tort class actions worldwide. It was followed by The Law of Large-Scale Claims (co-authored with Jamie Cassels, Q.C.). He has written on tort and constitutional law in the UBC Law Review, the UNB Law Journal, the Canadian Class Action Review, the Advocates Quarterly and the Canadian Bar Review, among other publications. His latest book is A Cruel Arithmetic, an account of the 2010-11 polygamy trial written for a popular audience, with a foreword by Andrew Coyne.
"Prior to joining the Faculty of Law at TRU, Professor Jones served as the Supervising Counsel of the Constitutional & Administrative Law Group in the BC Ministry of Justice. He appeared as lead counsel in a number of significant cases including PHS v. Canada (the Insite safe-injection site appeal), the Polygamy Reference, the Election Act challenge, the Missing Women Commission of Inquiry, and the Occupy Vancouver courthouse-access case. He successfully defended the authority of the Braidwood Inquiry into the YVR Airport death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski against court challenges by Taser International and four RCMP officers involved. Before joining government, he was a partner at Bull, Housser & Tupper LLP in Vancouver, and was on the team that defended against constitutional challenges to BCs Tobacco Damages and Health Care Costs Recovery Act, culminating in a landmark win at the Supreme Court of Canada in British Columbia v. Imperial Tobacco. In this period he also served as counsel to Thomas Berger, O.C., Q.C. in the 2004 Vancouver Electoral Reform Commission and the Nunavut Land Claims Conciliation in 2005-6, and assisted in the preparation Mr. Bergers reports. Professor Jones retains a consultation and litigation practice as Associate Counsel at a Vancouver boutique litigation firm.
"He has served two terms as president of the BC Civil Liberties Association and was a director of the PIVOT Legal Society, a leading poverty-law reform organization in Vancouver. He was recognized by TRU as a distinguished alumnus in 2008, having completed his undergraduate degree through the Open University. In 2011 he was appointed Queens Counsel in recognition of exceptional merit and contribution to the practice of law, the earliest such appointment in BC in more than 20 years."

TOP 20: Kansas State has placed at least one Wildcat in the top 20 in their last eight tournaments, and 13 of their last 14 tournaments. Kansas State has placed a player in the top 20 every invitational so far this fall and hope to finish their fall portion of the schedule with a strong finish at the Edwin Watts Invitational. The Last tournament that the Wildcats did not have a player finish in the top twenty was the Texas A&M Momorial in March of 2006.
LOOKING FOR THEIR NEXT TOP-FIVE: The Wildcats will look for their second top-five team finish of the fall when they head to Kiawah Island, South Carolina. The Cats only have one top-five team finish so far this fall and will look to extend their streak of at least two top-five finishes each fall dating back to 2000 when the Wildcats had only one top-five team finish in the fall portion of their schedule.
SCORING: Results will be posted on k-statesports.com as soon as they become available.

Our main Sunday worship is Holy Eucharist/Sung Mass which begins at 10am. This service uses either the Rite II liturgy found in the Episcopal Church's Book of Common Prayer.
The music for this service is provided by our 100+ year old pipe organ. Traditional hymns are sung during the service.
The service includes three readings from Scripture (the Liturgy of the Word), and the congregation also reads a psalm, or part of a psalm, in unison.
Following the sermon and prayers, the Holy Communion section of the service takes place. You are welcome to receive communion if you are a Christian baptized in the name of the Holy Spirit and if you are a communicant eligible to receive Communion in your own church or denomination.
As Christians, we are called to worship God, and this service is very traditional and beautiful way to do so.
We offer additional opportunities for worship during the week with the following services:
Occasionally some of our weekday services are canceled if our rector is unavailable. Please check our parish activities calendar to confirm service times for weekday services.

Basic Cookie Recipe
Be the first to review
READY IN: 25mins
Recipe by Faery Dust
My mum gave me this recipe and I love it because it is easy, easy, easy! I usually double the recipe, because it is quite a small amount, and everyone eats them as they are cooling on the rack. I call it a "basic" recipe, because I have added so many different things to them over time, and they always work! I've added some of my favourite variatons in the directions.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 75 g butter
- 75 g caster sugar
- 75 g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 3 drops vanilla essence
- 175 g self raising flour
- 50 g chopped glace ginger or 100 g chocolate chips
Directions See How It's Made
- Cream together butter and sugars.
- Add beaten egg and vanilla.
- Add flour.
- Mix well.
- If you are adding chocolate chips or nuts etc, add them now.
- Roll into balls and put onto greased or lined tray and lightly flatten.
- Cook in 180C oven for 10-12 minutes, until lightly browned.
- Cool on rack.
- Variations: I really urge you to experiment with your own flavours. See what works and what doesn't. That's what the fun of baking your own cookies is! Here are a few of mine:.
- I've added mixed spice, ginger and cinnamon, put jam (jelly) in a thumb imprint in the middle. When cool, dip the bottoms in dark chocolate and voila! A delicious Christmas Cookie!
- Everyones favorite and a huge seller at the cafe I work at, are the Choc, cherry coconut cookies: Replace 25g of the flour with dessicated coconut. Substitute vanilla essence with coconut essence. Throw in a handful of dark choc chips and a handful of roughly chopped glace cherries. They walk out the door.
- Another nice one is adding some orange zest, white chocolate drops and some roughly chopped macadamias.
- A couple of other ideas are: lavender buds; cardamon, pistachio and rose essence (instead of vanilla); and rum and raisin (soak the raisins in the rum).
- Hope you all enjoy as much as I have!

Sausage & Egg Casserole
Recipe by FloridaGrl
A good casserole for breakfast, brunch--or for when you have "breakfast for dinner" nights. I serve this with fried apples and hot biscuits. Prep time doesn't include chilling.
Top Review by whitewebKC
Not only for breakfast, our family loves this recipe for dinner as well! We enjoy a couple of variations to this recipe from time to time. In place of the bread cubes, we use hash-brown potatoes, partially frying them in a little oil before placing in the bottom of the casserole dish. We also add some sliced raw mushrooms to change it up. It is a wonderful meal, and it is rare to have leftovers!

It is rare but another public servant has been caught allegedly stealing from a town. This time it is Troy and the administrative assistant/welfare officer.
She is accused of embezzling $15,000 by having phony bills paid by the town.
And as we always say at CNHT, when you catch a town employee stealing and the number first comes out – remember to add a few zeros to it just for good measure.
Many municipal thieves fly away free as a bird, or retire early, because the local officials who were in charge don't want to look like they dropped the ball. And besides, it isn't their money.
In Ashland it was Town Clerk Rosie McNamara who was suspected of stealing $20,000.00 and it turned out to be a tad over $2 million misappropriated town funds.
Not that long ago it was the treasurer in Litchfield who had a bogus company in Ma. he funneled town funds to. It started out as $3,500. Next thing you know it was hundreds of thousands. Seymour was the guy's name if I remember correctly.
It has happened in Carroll, Amherst, Concord, and in Keene.
Keene is interesting in that it was a school treasurer who also worked at the local bank. He stole over $300,000.00 before he was caught. I talked to the State trooper who was involved and asked if it was a gambling habit that was part of a theft that big. He said he could answer after the IRS was done with the guy.
This case in Troy seems to have started in 2008. If I was a local in Troy who isn't a pal of the Town Clerk I would be asking some questions about how much was really taken and how much will be replaced.
One other thing most of these municipal thefts have in common is this.
There is almost always a guy in town who suspected it was going on and was called a crank with a personal ax to grind whenever it was brought up.
See if I am not right about this one.

Conslutancy for the Survey on Hazardous Waste Generating Industries in Sri Lanka


text:
- That is still hoping for the best from its Safety-Kleen acquisition late last year, which hasn't generated the margin growth the company forecast.
- That bought into the oilfield waste disposal and services business at the peak of the oil cycle.
- Whose CFO (on the job when Safety-Kleen was bought) quit in February after less than a year on the job. He was replaced by the company's former CFO, who is also president. (It's often best when those two jobs are split.)
About the only surprise about Clean Harbors ( CLH), the waste management company, is that almost every analyst who follows it still rates is as a Buy. That's even after the company's most-recently-reported quarter, which included yet another in a series of sliced guidance, missed expectations or a combo of both. . Yet this is the same company:
After peaking in 2010 at 18.2%, a year after the acquisition binge started, EBITDA margins have struggled to recover from first-quarter low of 12.9%. Last quarter's 16.1% was an improvement, but still well below a year ago, "primarily due to the weight of the lower-margin Safety-Kleen business," said Morningstar analyst Barbara Noverini. Therein lies an important part of the story: It wasn't supposed to be this way. The forays into the oil-and-gas-related services businesses were supposed to help leverage Clean Harbors' existing industrial base and create cross-selling opportunities while expanding its geographical footprint from its traditional base in the Northeast throughout the U.S. and Canada. It has had a steady success in Canada's oil sands. The acquisition spree culminated with the $1.25 billion Safety-Kleen deal, which boosted revenue by more than 50%. It occurred just as the company's oil-and-gas business was losing steam. Four years out of bankruptcy and on the brink of going public, Safety-Kleen's two principal businesses -- re-refining recycled oil, much of it collected through its other business, and service station parts cleaning -- were expected to save the day. When the deal was announced, CEO Alan McKim said it would be "immediately accretive." It hasn't been. In fact, even with synergies from the acquisition, the company has struggled to keep its balance. "We're disappointed with our performance compared to what the guidance and expectation was with the business," McKim told me in an interview.

Microsoft Brings Back IntelliMouse
microsoft said wednesday that it plans to bring back its intellimouse "by popular demand," while adding a mouse co-designed with razer into its gaming lineup.
in addition, microsoft also announced an "xbox 360 wireless controller for windows," designed to bring xbox 360-style control options to pc gamers. all three announcements were made at the games convention in leipzig, germany.
the intellimouse 3.0, which is "based upon" the intellimouse 1.0 design but with a "new look and feel," will be priced at $39.95 and available in october. the xbox 360 wireless controller for windows will be available in december for $59.95, and the habu mouse will be launched in october for $69.95.
according to microsoft, the intellimouse has become a true collector's item, with people going to outlandish lengths to protect them.
"we are reintroducing intellimouse explorer 3.0 in response to the demand from pc gamers worldwide," said bill jukes, product marketing manager for microsoft hardware, in a statement. "people were literally carrying around their intellimouse explorer 3.0s in protective glass cases, and rightly so there isn't a mouse on the market that can beat this design for comfortable play and precision for low-sensitivity first-person shooter games."
the (apparently wired) intellimouse explorer 3.0 will feature 9,000 frames per second performance, a "precision booster" to switch between default and precision mode, and a detented scroll wheel.
like the intellimouse, the habu mouse will also be wired. the mouse will feature seven programmble buttons, "glowpipes," and a 2,000 dpi laser engine. the exact specs are listed on microsoft's promotional site, notfornoobs.com.

Kate Thurman
When I brought my first Hearing Dog, Cheyenne (pictured here), home from NEADS in 2006, I knew I'd sleep better with a working set of ears at night, but I had no idea just how profoundly my sweet girl would change my life. If at any point over our decade together, you watched the two of us walk down the sidewalk, you would see our heads turn in near unison, mine following hers as she alerted me to everything from someone calling my name to a cyclist coming up from behind us. While it's true that I felt far more secure when I was with Chey, she would go on to become much more than my ears; she was my best friend, and to say it was devastating to lose her very suddenly to an aggressive tumor this past fall would be a gross understatement.
Although I hear fairly well with my cochlear implants, I still miss a lot, particularly at nighttime when I remove my processors and am left with no residual hearing at all. As a single woman living alone, I slept much more soundly knowing that Cheyenne would wake me up should the smoke alarm go off, someone knock on the door or, god forbid, try to break in. The one time I got hit by a cyclist riding down the sidewalk was when Chey was not at my side to alert me of the oncoming danger. And, my keys would have been lost many times over had Cheybers (she had no shortage of nicknames, that one!) not alerted me to the sound of them dropping!
While there will never be another Cheybie, I have a whole lot of love in my heart just waiting to be doled out to my next Hearing Dog. I miss the independence and sense of safety I had with a working set of ears at my side.
The total cost of raising and training a single Hearing Dog exceeds $42,000. I have agreed to raise a minimum of $8,000 to help NEADS offset the expense. Please consider contributing to Hearing Dog 2.0's training, or, if you are not in a position to make a tax-deductible donation, please help by sharing my story!
With deep gratitude,

Choosing one's top ten prized fruits from the good harvest of 2016 is no small task, but I'm under orders from the editor and being employed does have its appeal.
More to the point, it's been a bountiful year for Nigerian pop or Afrobeats or afrobeats or Afro-pop or, less confusedly, pop.
It's been interesting watching how albums released this year are denoted on Apple Music or Spotify, which have since become the all-conquering overlords who unified the different and disparate musical tribes as streaming sites, charts and soon will be everything that is to do with music.
The confusion might be Spotify or Apple's, but it's also emblematic of the state of Nigerian pop which has also rapidly blossomed.
The ten songs here are as subjective as they are objective, in the same way public reception is as important as personal tastes, and good music is as convincing as bad music. Enjoy.
Ycee "Omo Alhaji"
"Who's your daddy?" in Nigerian parlance could double as preamble to an actual pick-up line and as a status identifier.
It suited the pervy older man that Banky W characterised on "Jasi." It doesn't suit Ycee, a young man, but when he's rap-singing the line in the hook and verses for "Omo Alhaji," this hybrid delivery—American-accented rap and the indigenous preference of afrobeat fans—wins you over.
The references might be essentially Nigerian, but E. Kelly's beat is undoubtedly Ghanaian in its use of hi-hats. This blend of in-dance and in-sound is a sure winner. No doubt, the track's a big reason why Ycee was such an attractive proposition for a deal with Sony.
Download on iTunes / Amazon
Patoranking "No Kissing Baby" feat. Sarkodie
Patoranking is the real deal. His afrobeats cred is not up for debate. But how much of a true dancehall artist he is was confirmed for me when a Brixton roadman I know bigged him up.
His blend of patois and pidgin is seamless, requiring close attention to unpick. Ghanaian star Sarkodie is a mad-fluent spitter whose verse here is faultless in cadence, as always, even when delivered in Twi.
"No Kissing Baby" was produced by GospelOnDeBeatz, who uses a syncopated hi-hat that is uniquely Ghanaian (see our previous song choice), but is being borrowed by an increasing number of Nigerian producers.
The songs's music video, released in June on YouTube, has already broken ten million views. The number has been steadily growing since then, which must mean that it's still being watched by returnees with unsatiated appetites.
Download on iTunes / Amazon
Tekno "Pana"
Tekno 2.0 ("Dance" being version 1.0) started in earnest with "Duro," which made the rounds on SoundCloud and YouTube before its not-as-exciting video dropped and gave the song a wider audience, making it a sure-fire hit. So it must have made sense to capitalise on the success of "Duro" with another song in the same tempo.
"Pana" is a slow soother, much like "Duro" and "Diana." The lyrics don't add up to much except memorable rhymes on account of their clunkiness (fajaba, lagbaja, gwagwalada). Priorities, man.
Put it this way, if Tekno was allowed to headline his and Dbanj's recently cancelled London concert, after the furore between D'banj and the promoters, most ticket holders would have happily made the trip to O2 in the winter cold, prepared to skip past Tekno's unsubstantial catalogue, only for the one moment when he decides to play "Pana."
Download on iTunes / Amazon
Olamide "Who You Epp?"
Until just over ten years ago, Nigerian rappers proudly flaunted both true and false African-American accents and colloquialisms. Now, afrobeats has grown into a confident genre that would rather make its Nigerian-isms fashionable (confirm = confam, paper = pepper and, here, help = epp).
This is a chief attribute of the indigenous rap wave (hopefully it's more than that) which is to take pride and ownership in one's own culture, colloquialism and idiolect, doing away with imported and rooted ideas of propriety—"I don't know how to knot tie."
Shizzi is said to have made the beat in 15 minutes and Olamide, as always, raps as if he's shrugging someone off, a style that is effective here as he tells off, presumably, a one time associate who has returned to his fray now that he's made.
Download on iTunes / Amazon
Reekado Banks "Problem"
Reekado Banks is the one artist possibly able to fill in the crevasse left behind by D'banj's departure from Mo Hits.
Reconstituting into Mavins with the addition of Korede Bello, Di'ja and Tiwa Savage, Don Jazzy produced Banks' first single, "Chop Am," in 2014. But production duties for his array of artists have since been delegated to his lieutenant Babyfresh, who crafted "Problem"
Rekaado Banks' debut album is a pot of gems from which "Problem" sparkles. His singing, never an octave high, shows an improved confidence on account of being mannered and unshowy. Neither has Babyfresh's tag "this gbedu is a problem" ever been as apt or his beat making as mature.

As Game 7 ended, Toronto's Maple Leaf Square was silent. Several people dropped to their knees. Others blinked away tears.
"They tried really hard. That's the disappointing part," Nicole Boyd said through tears about the Toronto Maple Leafs' heartbreaking, 5-4 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins.
"It just sucks that they were ahead. We all thought they were going to win."
Ms. Boyd, 25, came to Toronto from Niagara Falls to watch the Leafs play. She was hoping for a happier ending.
"Nine years," Ms. Boyd moaned.
The shock on faces after the game was in stark contrast to how it started. Some fans arrived at the square in the early afternoon full of high spirits, sure they would leave with another victory.
Every goal the Leafs scored was met with deafening roars, confetti and chants. "Go Leafs Go," the fans screamed. Even when the Bruins scored their second goal. And their third. And finally their fourth.
There was never any doubt these fans thought their team could pull though.
"We had that game going into third," Raju Mehta said. "But I can't blame anyone. We played well but just wasn't in the cards today."
Mr. Mehta said he hasn't missed a game all season and he, like many other fans tonight, is happy for his team about how far they did get.
"No one predicted Game 7 against Boston at the start of the season so I'm proud of the team," he said.
The mood that started so high fell rapidly as the teams went into overtime. "This is insane," one fan kept repeating. "This is just insane."
One thing many Leafs fans showed Monday night was an unwavering optimism.
"We're proud of the team," Ms. Boyd said. "They're going to come back next year."
Many fans said they were disappointed, but also that they would take Monday's game as an accomplishment, and a learning experience.
"You have to feel good. Nobody thought we'd take it to seven," Luke Attard said.
"The Bruins are a good team; you can't be upset about this. We'll take this, we'll learn,we'll make some changes hopefully."Report Typo/Error

I am the youngest can I be the power of attorney and own the house?
I am the youngest of 4. My Dad wants me to be the power of attorney as well as put the house in my name for 3 years now. My brother and sister fight my Dad on this and he constantly changes his mind. Now that my mom has dementia he wants to put things in my name. Can the house be put in my name even though we have the same last name? I am not financially hungry like my sisters.
Expert Answers
Your are the youngest of four, and your father wants you to have his power of attorney and to put his house in your name. Can he do this?
First, the legalities. He certainly can appoint you as his agent, both for financial matters and medical concerns, under a power of attorney for each. He can also legally transfer his house to you. The fact that you have the same last name does not matter. Legally, he would be making a gift of the house to you, which means that the IRS requires that a gift-tax return be filed. However, no tax would need to be paid. Currently, a person give or leave at death property worth up to $5 million without imposition of tax.
Next, and crucially, other realities. If your father transfers his house to you, you own it outright. Your (financially hungry) sisters would receive nothing from the house when your father dies. Is this what he wants? To me, it seems like a recipe for major family hassles. But I do not know your father's personal situation and wishes for his property after he dies. Without knowing that, I can only suggest that you be your father's agent as well as his executor, and that he leave the house to be sold (by you as executor) and the profits divided equally between the four siblings. I don't see what a transfer of ownership of his house to you accomplishes that would be desirable.

No, it shows off your face in a really great way. And no, you don't look like a guy. You look great with your short haircut.
i remember u. i think ur gorgeous with short hair.
Have an opinion?
No that fits you perfectly. Nothing wrong with your face. The only problem are those terrible glasses you're wearing.
Heh not at all
I usually don't like short hair that often but it works well for you. Even better than your long hair in my opinion. If you wanted, you could try thinner frame glasses. I think it would work well for you.
You look better with long hair
I mean it kinda does lol
I prefer the long hair because it makes you look younger.
At least you don't look like an ugly guy
didn't we do this already?
you look good with short hair =)
Get ur hairs back please
You look better in long hairs.
Not to me
When you smile you look really beautiful, I love your smile and eyes
I think it only makes you look like a guy because you're wearing a big baggy sweater.
not at all
Short hair doesn't flatter you at all.. your facial structure isn't made for it go back to long hair asap
You look better with long hair. If you want to go for the short look, i think you would look great with an A line bob cut. From what I can see your hair looks thick, this cut would frame your face much better. I also agree with the glasses, maybe you should try ray bans?
no you still look like a girl
it looks fine
You look good not at all manish
A bit like a guy
I think you look cuter with the short hair.
No. I like it. 😍
Personally I think that the short hair suits you better than the long hair did.

Hapa's designer mark on Re:Start
Re:Start mall's design store Hapa is gaining an international reputation.
For a business that is little more than a year old, design store Hapa is making a big impact. When Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall visited Christchurch in November, Hapa was on their itinerary, and singer/songwriter Anika Moa has named Hapa her favourite store at the Re:Start container mall (in an online Travel Insider Guide to Christchurch).
Hapa produces its own range of jewellery and other handmade items, and also works closely with Christchurch artists and designers. Students from the Design and Arts College of New Zealand are given the opportunity to display their creations at Hapa to trial new ideas.
"Love the extraordinary" is the catchphrase of business co-founders Maureen Taane and Yuri Bacas Hosaka. The pair are responsible for the store's eclectic range of bespoke gifts, jewellery and homewares, and increasing number of one-off pieces.
"Eighty per cent of the stock is New Zealand-made and most of that is made here in Christchurch," says Japanese-born Yuri, a designer who moved to New Zealand with her husband just a month before the September 2010 earthquake. It wasn't the best time to make a fresh start in a new country, but Yuri knew she wanted to settle here and start a business, and Maureen has proved the ideal business partner. Maureen managed designer gift store The Vault in City Mall for 17 years until the February 2011 earthquake shut it down.
The business name is derived from the owners' cultural identities. Yuri was born in Japan but grew up in Madrid, Spain, while Maureen's ancestry is a mix of Ngati Maniapoto and French/Scottish/English. Hapa, the Hawaiian Pidgin word for half, also refers to mixed-race heritage.
Hapa has been a source of support and encouragement to keep going, despite present difficulties, particularly for those still working out of garages at home after losing studios in the earthquakes.
Christchurch-made jewellery includes unique work by Akin Jewellery, Little Fritter Design, Hello Lovely and Pam Jacomb Design, sharing shelves with approved greenstone products, liquefaction pottery and "Christchurch love" mugs. Limited-edition T-shirts have proven extremely popular and designers Mickey Lin and Ra Thomson, of MisterR, sell some of their beautifully made clothing accessories there, too. Woodturner Don Harkess used to work at the Arts Centre, but now sells his wares at Hapa. New Zealand artists, such as Daniel Kirsche, are donating proceeds from sales at Hapa to help with projects around Christchurch (the beneficiary, in this case, being the New Brighton Project).
"We think the Hapa concept works well for Christchurch too: the city is a mix of old and new. Maureen and I share the same vision and our skills are complementary. We clicked from the start," says Yuri, who balances her business commitments with the demands of caring for her baby daughter, Yuki. Maureen's daughter, Forest, is 19 and helps out at Hapa in between studying law and psychology at the University of Canterbury.
Constant research underpins Hapa's success. Maureen and Yuri devote many hours to looking at design blogs and websites, as well as going to markets to check out the latest trends. Their goal is to get things made locally, if possible. "We're only limited by our imagination," Maureen says.
Maureen is also the merchandise manager for Tikidub Productions, working alongside her brother, singer/songwriter, producer and audio engineer, Tiki Taane, and sister Ninakaye Taane-Tinorau, Tikidub's managing director. "My brother is releasing an album in April at the start of a six-week Australasian tour, so it'll be a busy time for us. Fortunately, we're lucky to have one part-time and one full-time staff member at Hapa, who are both flexible and awesome, so everything gets done between us."
Hapa has close relationships with local suppliers and usually works three to four months ahead when developing new product lines. Its next move is a greater focus on organics and sustainability.
In the meantime, the royal visit remains a memorable finale for 2012 and an inspiration for 2013. "It is further recognition that what we're doing is worthwhile and our efforts so far have not been wasted," Maureen says.
