Ardern's rhetoric does not match her actions. Inserting herself into a private land dispute whilst calling for unity at Waitangi is farcical. Her actions are causing division, but her naivety propels her to ignore that, and her every comment further muddies the waters. Her politics are not based on principle or reason but emotion and misplaced ideology.
Her own ministers, Grant Robertson and Kelvin Davis, last year both stated public money would not be used to settle this dispute and reiterated that the Treaty of Waitangi settlement process must not be disrupted. Their virtue signalling leader has moved the goalposts to give herself international publicity, and, cynically, to syphon up Maori votes and to hell with the consequences.
In a new twist, Ardern in a further instalment of her fantastical Ihumatao tale, proclaims the land now has heritage status. But not only that, in a recent interview with Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking, she frames herself as Fletcher's saviour, stuck with this heritage land who now must be saved from themselves.
"there is a heritage overlay on this now, so Fletchers are stuck, what do you do?"Jacinda Ardern NewstalkZB
That is quite a stretch and requires an ability to ignore a few realities, like the history of the site and unsuccessful litigation in recent years to give it heritage status through the Maori Land Court (2017) and Environment Court (2018). Perhaps she thinks in her naivety that as Minister for Culture, Arts and Heritage she can pull a few strings and voila, conjure up taxpayer money to rescue Fletchers.
According to the Auckland Council Unitary Plan, there is no heritage overlay on the land. The PM appears to be making stuff up. As Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage perhaps she thinks she is Wonder Woman and she can bend the rules to fast track what is traditionally a very longwinded procedure of notification and a considerable planning process.
And where is the Legacy media investigating Ardern's latest preposterous statements and asking her the probing questions? Perhaps they are a little preoccupied at the moment, preparing for an innovative YouTube series 'Where in the world is Neve?' to divert attention from National's social media video attacks on the incompetent government. But I digress.
Ardern has successfully stoked the fires of this contentious subject. Maori Party President Che Wilson has announced he wants to redefine the terms of treaty settlements so that they can dispute privately owned land. The can of worms has been opened.
To further stir the pot Pania Newton, leader of the Ihumatao land protest and founder of SOUL (Save our Unique Landscape) stated on Newstalk ZB on Waitangi Day a taxpayers' deal has been struck.
Before any public announcements can be made, the PM has to deal with what has been all along the biggest barrier to her aspirations, Deputy PM, Winston Peters. Ardern must have NZ First's agreement for any deal to be struck.
With a more conservative view on matters Maori, he originally stated no public money will be used, the same stance as other ministers. He said back in September "There would have to be one extraordinarily high benchmark for the government to be involved and hitherto we do not see that benchmark,".
Although his recent comment to Hosking is more ambiguous. "What is being said right now by a whole range of people is simply false. This is a long-range discussion that will take a long, long time to be completed."
This issue has many moving parts and the battle of wits behind the scenes can only be imagined. As for deals to get NZ First compliance, this may be a bridge too far for Peters who has been staunch on this issue as a matter of principle. Will he be the hand brake and save Ardern from herself?
Another party which stays firm as a matter of principle is National, which has come out and said the Prime Minister should have kept out of issues involving private land and that she is stirring up division. Many New Zealanders tend to agree.
Heritage New Zealand is due to make a decision on the heritage value of the land at the end of February. We wait with bated breath.
With public sentiment on Ihumatao high, it is, I believe, poised to be Jacinda's Waterloo come election time.

Mustang GT500 Kenne Bell vs. GT-R and McLaren – Street HitsFebruary 19th, 2019
Driving your friend's GT500 on the streets of Mexico is the absolute best time to encounter a couple of brass ring supercars out trolling for a victim. Even in the darkest of night, the Ford seems outmatched by these top tier sports cars. This is easily seen by all on hand. What is unforeseen is the fact that this (daily driven) Shelby GT500 Mustang has been favorably modified for just such a scenario as this. Take a look. The stock engine and transmission are easy prey for the exotics but a Kenne Bell 2.8-liter blower changes the odds. Power was Read More

Cumin is a plant that offers many health benefits and virtues.
Named cuminum cyminum, cumin is an annual herbaceous plant with a slender silhouette.
Caraway measures 20 to 40 cm in height. It is native to the Near East and Asia and belongs to the Apiaceae family like parsley.
Cumin for the story
In the time of the ancient Egyptians, cumin was one of the most widely used spices. Native to the Nile valley, cumin is also mentioned in the Old Testament and was part of most Roman recipes where this spice was highly sought after.
The Arabs used it as a drug by making an aphrodisiac with cumin, honey and pepper; they took it several times a day.
On the belief side, cumin even had protective virtues against bad spells.
Cumin and its health benefits
In addition to its characteristic aroma and fragrance, cumin offers many health benefits and virtues.
> Having trouble digesting food that's a little heavy? Stomachic (by promoting intestinal flow) and carminative (helps to expel gas), cumin will be a great help.
> Cumin also has properties stimulants and diuretics . Like aniseed, it promotes the production of breast milk – but be careful not to overuse it, it is slightly irritating.
> To reduce engorgement of the breasts and testicles, caraway poultices are used.
> Cumin essential oil is used in perfumery.
Did you know that?
> Internal use of cumin :
Condiment: mix cumin with foods that are difficult to digest or cause intestinal gas. Cumin also tends to improve the appetite.
Cumin infusion: leave one spoonful of seeds in contact with one cup of boiling water for 10 minutes. Take one cup after each meal. Helps breastfeeding women's milk supply.
> External use of cumin :
We make resolving poultices with cumin. They take away the inflammation. They are prepared with seeds infused in boiling water and slipped, warm, between two layers of fine linen.
Cultivate cumin for its benefits
Cumin thrives in full sun, it needs warm exposure and good, light and rich garden soil.
Tip about cumin:
To give the cumin seeds even more flavour, toast them in a pan for a few minutes.
Potted cumin?
You can definitely try growing cumin in pots. However, be aware that the plant is more fragile. It will be less productive and of very limited decorative interest.
Beware of little beasts!
The cumin will not be disturbed. Nothing serious can happen to it.
The different varieties of cumin
We only grow the typical species.
However, there is a tendency to confuse cumin with caraway (also known as "meadow cumin"), which resembles it.
Cumin in the kitchen for its benefits
Cumin is used a lot in oriental cuisine, it is mainly found in Indian curries and some Indonesian dishes. In Morocco, cumin perfumes couscous and tagines. The Alsatians use it to accompany munster.
Gourmet ideas :
Soups, couscous, skewers, salads… Cumin is a spice that is used in many preparations. Let your imagination run wild!

The gunner can use the finger method to find distance. He extends his arm toward the target with his palm out, elbow locked, one eye closed, and index finger raised (Figure 5-9). He sights along the edge of the finger, adding extra fingers to fill in the space (the average finger is 30 mils wide). One finger equals 30 mils, two fingers equals 70 mils, three fingers equals 100 mils (Figure 5-10).

Amer Sports has issued a statement, at the request of Nasdaq Helsinki, to try and clarify the status of its discussions with a consortium of Asian private equity investors seeking to acquire the company.
Back in September, having confirmed it was considering the sale of its Mavic and ENVE cycling operation, Amer Sports received an indication of interest from a consortium including Chinese sportswear company ANTA Sports Products.
On September 11, 2018, in response to media speculation, Amer Sports Corporation confirmed that it had received a non-binding preliminary indication of interest (the 'Indication of Interest') from a consortium comprising ANTA Sports Products Limited and the Asian private equity firm FountainVest Partners (the 'Consortium') to acquire the entire share capital of Amer Sports.
Amer Sports further confirmed that, pursuant to the Indication of Interest, Amer Sports shareholders would be entitled to receive a cash consideration of €40.00 per share for all of their shares in Amer Sports.
In relation to recent further media speculation, at the request of Nasdaq Helsinki, Amer Sports confirms that there have been certain discussions between Amer Sports and the Consortium and their respective advisors intended to ascertain whether there is a basis to commence a more formal process to facilitate a possible recommended transaction.
Amer Sports' shareholders are reminded that implementation of the Indication of Interest remains subject to a number of pre-conditions including, but not limited to, approval of the Board of Directors of ANTA and the Investment Committee of FountainVest, satisfactory conclusion of the Consortium's due diligence, availability of financing from identified financing sources and receipt of a recommendation from the Board of Directors of Amer Sports.
Completion of a tender offer by the Consortium would in turn be subject to further conditions, including approval by shareholders holding at least 90% of the shares of Amer Sports and receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.
Amer Sports adds that it will release further information at an appropriate time.

By Susan Cornwell
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – One of the most expensive special elections for the U.S. Congress was taking place on Tuesday in North Carolina, with both major parties watching to see whether President Donald Trump's Republican Party can keep its grip on a long-held seat.
Democrats are hoping for an upset in North Carolina's sprawling 9th Congressional District, where polls showed Republican Dan Bishop running neck and neck with Democrat Dan McCready.
The suburban-rural area in the southeastern part of the state has been represented by Republicans in Congress since the 1960s and voted for Trump by about 12 percentage points in 2016. A special congressional election was ordered after last year's voting was tainted by fraud.
Both Trump and Vice President Mike Pence flew to North Carolina on Monday for last-minute campaigning with Bishop, a 55-year-old state senator who has embraced Trump's policies and politics.
"You have a Democrat named Dan McCready, and he wants open borders, he wants sanctuary cities, he's not going to protect your Second Amendment," Trump told the cheering crowd at a rally in Fayetteville, referring to the constitutional right to bear arms.
There were signs the race was close on Tuesday evening as local Republicans sought an extension of voting hours in one precinct in Union County, a suburban Charlotte county that some analysts say could be a battleground in the race. Republicans said the voting station had been moved and that one in five voters was showing up at the wrong location.
The State Board of Elections met to hear the request, but took no action on it. With little time left, McCready encouraged voters to still head for the polls.
"Be in line to vote by 7:30 p.m. (0030 GMT Wednesday) and election officials must let you vote," the Democratic candidate wrote. "Please stay in line. This is going to come down to hundreds of votes."
A Republican victory would help the party launch a comeback effort to wrest the House of Representatives away from Democrats after losing 40 seats and overall control in House elections last year.
A Democratic win would send hopes soaring that 2018 was not necessarily their high-water mark as they aim to lure more voters away from Trump and his fellow Republicans in 2020 elections to Congress and the White House.
The North Carolina contest is the second most expensive special election for a House seat in U.S. history, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, which said candidates and outside groups had spent more than $18 million to fill the airwaves with ads.
Only a 2017 race in Georgia cost more, when Republican Karen Handel beat Democrat Jon Ossoff in a $27 million blitz.
North Carolina's 9th District was already getting more competitive in 2018, when McCready lost narrowly before state officials ruled the election was tainted by an absentee-ballot fraud scheme that benefited his then-opponent, Republican Mark Harris. A new election was ordered, and Harris declined to run again.
Republicans nominated Bishop, who has campaigned on taxes, the economy and immigration. He has echoed Trump's political themes, asserting that McCready "admires socialism" and linking him to the "Squad," a group of progressive Democrats in the House who Trump has repeatedly attacked.
"I share your values. I'm not ashamed of your values," Bishop told attendees at the rally with Trump on Monday. "I'm going to defend your values in Washington D.C."
McCready, a 36-year-old small-businessman and U.S. Marine Corps veteran, has sought to steer the campaign discussion away from Trump and onto issues such as healthcare, education and teacher pay.
McCready met with fellow veterans in Fayetteville hours before Trump's speech and talked about how Americans were getting "crushed" by healthcare costs.
He has labeled Bishop, who sponsored a 2016 measure in the state legislature restricting public restroom access for transgender people, as a "career politician."
A wave of recent Republican retirements from the House has fueled speculation that Republicans fear they will not win back the majority in that chamber next year. They will need to gain 19 seats to regain the majority, or 20 if they lose North Carolina's 9th District on Tuesday.
Republicans are expected to keep the seat in another special election on Tuesday in the state's 3rd District. Republican Greg Murphy and Democrat Allen Thomas are vying for a seat left vacant by longtime Republican Representative Walter Jones' death in February.

Apple want to censor porn in the iTunes App store. What is porn and what isn't?
Related articles
There is no doubt that porn sells. When it comes to apps for the iPhone or iTouch, or even the upcoming iPad, adult content might not help sales to some of Apple's target market. Or so the wizards at Apple seem to think.
The iTunes App Store is chock full of apps for mature audiences and some have naughtier names than the actual content they supply.
App developers are likely to be using the words "porn" or "boobs" to drive traffic to their app. Then they provide a downloadable app that is nothing more than a silly "porn star name generator" or an app for "food porn."
However, a recent post on the site belonging to ChiliFresh iPhone Apps, written by app developer Jon Atherton, reveals that Apple is going to start censoring anything with sexually themed content.
Apple sent a rather impersonal letter to the developer without much regard for what his content is … soley based on the name of his app, Wobbly iBoobs. It's not exactly Penthouse.
Dear Glentwood pty ltd:
The App Store continues to evolve, and as such, we are constantly refining our guidelines. Your application, Wobble iBoobs (Premium Uncensored), contains content that we had originally believed to be suitable for distribution. However, we have recently received numerous complaints from our customers about this type of content, and have changed our guidelines appropriately. We have decided to remove any overtly sexual content from the App Store, which includes your application.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter. If you believe you can make the necessary changes so that Wobble iBoobs (Premium Uncensored) complies with our recent changes, we encourage you to do so and resubmit for review.
iPhone App Review
Why does Apple want to censor apps?
Understandably, Apple wants to make sure its content is family-friendly since so many parents are starting their teens off with the iTouch before they buy them an iPhone. They don't have to worry about cell-phone minutes being used but the teen can still have the fun stuff that goes along with having an iPhone without the associated monthly fees.
Apple wants to retain that young market and appear "safe" to parents who buy the iTouch because that will, in turn, make the iPhone a future purchase if the parents are happy with the iTouch.
With the iPad coming out soon, it's likely that Apple also wants to look "clean" in the eyes of educators that might buy it and students that may make it an integral part of their education.
What is going to be censored and how will Apple do this?
At what point does censoring hurt or help the app world? A bigger question is: how is Apple picking and choosing when removing apps from the iTunes App store?
In checking tonight on the iTunes store, there are hundreds of apps far more porn-like than the now removed "Wobbly iBoobs" app. There are apps for finding sex positions, graphic kama sutra apps and even "Truth or Dare College Sex Games".
If Apple decides to ban everything with the word "sex" in it, they might lose some apps that could be helpful. Namely those that help search for sex offenders or sexual health facts and statistics.
There also might be a Sex in the City fan out there that likes TV trivia. Censor the word "sex" and fans can forget finding that app.
Will the popular Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue app be eradicated as an app because it has "sexy" women on it?
Is it fair for Apple to censor?
When you invest a few hundred dollars into an iPhone or iTouch …or if you plan to sink a lot more than that into the new iPad … do you want to be limited on what you can or cannot buy in the iTunes app store? If it's Apple's concern that parents are upset that their children can access the sexy apps, then maybe the parents need to monitor what their child buys.
True, some of the apps are totally ridiculous and maybe offensive to some, but is it any different than what is accessible on the Internet or on television?
What do you think? Should Apple start censoring its App Store or just let users decide what's best for them?

On 12 July 2019 certain provisions of the Competition Amendment Act, No 18 of 2018 (the "Amendment Act") came into effect following a presidential proclamation. The Amendment Act introduces significant changes which seek to address concentration of ownership and to promote the participation in markets of small and medium businesses ("SMEs"), and firms controlled by historically disadvantaged persons ("HDPs"). The Minister of Trade and Industry, Mr Ebrahim Patel, has said that the Amendment Act is one of the most important pieces of economic legislation of the 6th Administration and is evidence of Government's continued commitment to drive economic transformation and inclusion.
Some of the notable changes introduced by the Amendment Act are:
· the introduction of additional grounds for the competition authorities to consider when assessing a merger, including: the extent of ownership by a party to the merger in another firm or other firms in related markets; the extent to which a party to the merger is related to another firm or other firms in related markets, the impact on SMEs or HDPs and whether a merger promotes a greater spread of ownership within the affected market;
· a list of relevant factors to be taken into account when determining whether the price charged by a dominant firm is excessive. The Amendment Act introduces a reverse onus. If the competition authorities are able to show that that the price charged is prima facie excessive, the onus will shift to the dominant firm to prove that the price is reasonable;
· the re-introduction of advisory opinions. The Commission previously provided non-binding advisory opinions, however this service was suspended. The Amendment Act now forces the Commission to issue non-binding advisory opinions;
· the maximum administrative penalty payable has increased from 10% to 25% of a firm's annual turnover if a firm's anti-competitive conduct is substantially a repetition by the same firm of conduct previously found to be a prohibited practice. Further, the competition authorities are able to include the turnover of any firm that controls the firm that is found to have engaged in the prohibited practice thereby making the controlling firm jointly and severally liable for the payment of the administrative penalty; and
· the introduction of additional grounds for the Commission to grant an exemption, such as the promotion of the ability of effective entry into, participation in or expansion within a market by small business, and medium businesses, or firms controlled or owned by historically disadvantaged persons to become competitive.
Interestingly enough, some of the more controversial provisions of the Amendment Act which have not yet come into effect are:
· an additional ground under which price discrimination may be tested, which requires dominant firms to consider whether price discrimination has the effect of impeding the ability of SMEs and HDPs to participate effectively; and
· the introduction of a parallel notification and investigation process to be administered by a committee constituted by the President to consider whether a merger involving a foreign acquiring firm has an adverse effect on national security interests.
The Amendment Act places enormous emphasis on protecting SMEs and HDPs. As a result, dominant firms will have to be extra vigilant in how they do business. Minister Patel has indicated that the remaining sections of the Amendment Act, will be phased in once additional work has been completed.

Start A Rewarding New Career as a Community Support Worker
Community Support Workers help people deal with personal and social problems. They teach related skills and provide information and support. Community Support Workers strive to improve the physical, emotional, intellectual and social development of vulnerable adults, children, youth and families.
Studying at ABES College has been one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. The instructors and staff are a top-rate as they want their students to do well and they are very supportive in every step of the way. I am very thankful for all the staff of ABES College as they have been a part of my successful journey and I wouldn't achieve what I have achieved without the caring environment. One piece of advice I would like to give to future students is "just trust the process!
ABES College is a great school! If you want a career in health care this is the place to go. They have a great reputation with CLS and Alberta Health Services. They will give you everything you need to start in health care down to scrubs to wear. I would recommend anyone to take a program here. The staff and teachers really care about students. They will help you reach your goals.
Amazing school! The staff is very nice and helped get through my journey at ABES. I am so glad I attended here, I've never felt more set with my life. Thank you ABES!
ABES is a great place to learn, with friendly, supportive and professional teachers. I feed glad I chose ABES. They welcome feedback positively and support their students in all ways they can.
Looking for a career? Well I found one; I truly enjoyed studying in ABES, learning and at the same time having fun. There were lots of staffs in ABES willing to help in every step of the way, upon admission, student financing and career path for employment after taking the course. I can describe ABES in two words "Surprisingly Amazing.
The Health Care Aide Program at ABES helped Manju to land her dream job just 1 day after graduation.
This school is amazing. The staff really cares. I had issues in the program and had to miss class. They let me withdrawal, come back a couple months later and never charged me a penny more. This tells me the care about students and not about the money. Every person at ABES is helpful and kind. The school is the best school ever. I got a job right after graduating and I'm so happy I found my ABES family. Love you ABES!
ABES is 100% the best place to go if you want to work in the health care field. They are so supportive and amazing, willing to help you out whether or not your problems are school related. ABES is more than just a school, it's a family.
It's a good chance to study a short program, especially if you're a newcomer and your English skills are just not enough to study any career at University! I'm from Ecuador and I just came here one year ago, so it's a good start when you really want to study but the language is one of the biggest issues!
Staff and instructors are so helpful. They stand by you at all times and don't let you fail. Amazing experience.

We are continuing to see long delays at the Probate Registry. When we submit an application for probate, the usual turnaround time has usually been around 2 weeks. The recent delays, however, have seen applications taking up to 12 or 13 weeks.
We have been told that the delays have come about due to an unusually large backlog caused by a significant influx of probate applications in March and April this year.
The delays were discussed in the House of Lords on 12 June 2019, during which Lord Keen noted that there had been a 22% increase in the volume of applications in March and April, most probably because people were concerned that the proposed hike in probate fees was going to be introduced in April 2019. In fact, the fees increase has not yet been implemented because of a lack of parliamentary time.
The implementation of a new IT system to make it possible to submit probate applications online has also caused problems. The Ministry of Justice has stated that there have been problems both with the Probate Registry's new software, and also their printing systems.
The Law Society has already raised concerns that the Ministry of Justice has not sufficiently increased resource in the Probate Registries to enable the backlog to be cleared, and that the problem may worsen in the summer months due to staff taking leave, so it looks like the misery is set to continue for quite a while longer.
The impact of the ongoing delays is that estates are taking much longer to administer. This means that there will be delays in estate creditors being paid, and for beneficiaries to receive their entitlements. This will also cause difficulties for charity beneficiaries, who are reliant on legacy income.
It is a particular problem where property sales have been agreed, as a Grant of Probate is required in order to exchange contracts. Whilst the Probate Registries are able to expedite grant applications where a property sale was agreed before the owner died, applications where the sale was agreed after the date of death are not considered to be urgent by the Probate Registries. There is therefore a real risk that property sales will fall through in cases where buyers lose patience waiting for probate to be obtained.
As solicitors, we have been advised not to contact the Probate Registries to chase up our applications, which is adding to everyone's frustration. Having to deal with chasing telephone calls, emails and letters simply runs the risk of taking registry staff away from issuing Grants of Probate, which will only slow them down further.
Instead, it is recommended that we make all the parties involved in an estate fully aware of the delays, and keep everyone updated.

I think it is super important to question whatever we are told in life. We start life with people telling us what is right and wrong and very often those telling us what is right/wrong are brain washed. Be it telling us about religion or what is appropriate or not. History tells us that the killing of jews in germany was also considered right by germans at one point. Wars were considered right, and so was dropping the nuclear bomb. Should we have questioned all that - hell yeah!
Most things we learn in life are interpretations, subjective, open to discussion and debate. People at one point also had wrong notions about the earth's shape. And it is completely up to an individual to decided what is right for them. Questioning will not only help find answers and find what we truly believe in, but will also help us broaden out open-mindedness. Thinking helps us understand diversity of thought and just improves our learning. Now, there is a belief system we all have, but I think for mankind to survive and be respectful of each others differences, it is important that we understand or question hate speech and pre-existing notions to be able to accommodate variety in our life. Variety is in fact the spice of life. Too bad if your don't like spicy food but then may its time you started questioning a to why you dont.
I'll answer this question as best I can. In life as we know it, sometimes people agree on things and sometimes they disagree totally. In engineering, when constructing a figure, we are asked to show the views. Views are basically us taking the figure from one angle only and drawing it out. That's how human minds work.
When we see something or think about something, we have a view of it. Sometimes, our view of things are wholesome but most times it falls short because how we think and see the world differs depending on various factors. Everything in life is relative and so it differs from person to person. So while something may seem trivial to you or to me, it may be unreasonably complex to another person. As I said, views differ so at most times, all we can conjure up in our minds is just a partial picture of the whole diagram we think we understand. That's why most people tend to have a team of decision makers so that different views can be analyzed and a more wholesome solution can be found.
The bottom line of what I'm trying to say is that to truly understand something, you must see all its angles and to do that, you must consult other people. People who may see a tower where you see a nail or an ocean where you see a desert. Because we all have our views and no single person has the complete picture
What is the important of Questioning?
Your curiosity to know and understand certain thing is the answer to that. On every day you come across so many things whether it your daily life, or your education or your work place, or your society or any thing that pops up in your mind and that popping up of curiosity lead to the form of a question and in order to enable such a question to place and with an aim to get a contentment reply you need a question and answer platform and musing on the top of steem blockchain is trying fill that space for you, where the aim is not only to find an answer to your question, but also to make it fair and transparent, as well as to reward to for your question or answer as well.
Why is it important to hear others answer in such trivial question?
Not everything is trivial and not everything is uni-dimensional when you search for an answer to your question and that all depends upon the type of question and the specific area it is related to...Simply put, not every answer is that straightforward and not everything can be drawn out of a book or google search and in fact the most beautiful and comprehensive answer can be found in a question and answer platform where a common man without celebrity-hood yet rich in knowledge of the subject matter can deliver that answer to you and that is why a platform like Quora is so popular in 21st century. Musing is also like Quora but it is a DApp on the top of steem blockchain and it is incorporated with blockchain technology to ensure everything is fair and transparent and unlike other platform you will get reward for your question and answer.
Further in my firm apprehension the multi-dimensional answers to a question can be more easily read and understood in a question and answer platform rather than any other means. At the same time you will be able to read the multi facets of an answer and I am sure most of the time you may discover something new which you might not have even imagined of to your question. That is why it is really important to hear the answer/answers. Again there could be different type of question and the approach of answer sometimes may be different and may be same, but all that depends upon the type of question again. And in order to accommodate the multiple of array of "question types" a Q&A platform like musing is a much needed platform in blockchain space. That is answer to this question as well.
Thank you and Have a great day.
If this question pertains to the musing's feature that allows user to ask/answer questions, then here is my simple answer: Musing is simply making a tool for everyone inside or outside the platform to acquire shared data and information from one another or so. Along with that clear idea is the support of what steem's trying to build as an ecosystem of technology - a generation of useful tool with cryptocurrencies as rewards. Let's just call it smt then. Now, whether if it is a trivial or not, the importance of using this platform is we need to have proper and very eager community that is clearly supporting the core goals of musing.
Asking questions is very important in life so that we become aware of a problem. By asking, it will increase our knowledge and the people who listen to the problems being discussed.
Asking is also very important if we are lost on a journey. Even though there is now Google Maps that can lead us to where we are going, but in certain areas and remote, the Google Maps application cannot be our guide, so we must dared to ask the people in the place so that we would not get lost on the way.
Listening to answers from other people even though it answers trivial questions is also very important. Because the answers that people give are usually more qualified than the questions asked. Answers given from trivial questions usually contain the implicit meaning contained therein. This meaning can be insinuating to people who asking such trivial questions but the language delivered is veiled and answers the substance of the problem.
In this life, in addition to the importance of asking questions on a problem, it is very important to also listen to the explanation in answering the question. Because the answer to the question is not only addressed to the person who asks but also to the person who listens. Many lessons and advice that we can get from hearing a lot of explanations from people who understand the problem.
Let me rephrase it, because I am not sure what question you are asking.
So, I will answer what I think you are asking.
I apologize if it is not in fact what you meant.
What is the importance of Questioning? Why is it important to hear other peoples perspective on subjects we see as mundane?
The ability to ask a questions is an unique characteristic of a human animal, thus far found nowhere else in the nature.
Even some of the smartest animals, chimps and gorillas are known to have ability to learn language, and to use modern technology, such as touch screens, don't seem to posses the ability to ever use the tools they are presented with to questions the world around them.
It is not unreasonable to draw a connection here.
The exact edge our specie have over any other specie, might be from our ability to question.
You cannot seek answers if you cannot ask.
And the answers we find is what drives us forward.
A chimp may use a smartphone, but a chimp cannot build a smartphone.
You might think "well, can you?"
Not right now, not most people.
However, I can ask questions that would lead me to that ability, and so does any human person.
But not a chimp.
Chimp would never ask a question because they don't ever think there might be something new they can learn.
They assume other chimps, and humans, know all the same things they know.
Now, this applies to asking very profound questions, as well as very everyday questions.
You can question the origin of the universe, or moral dilemma, as well as question what's for dinner or which road to take.
The ability to question not only gives you the ability create technology, but also to make your daily life better and the pain of existence be more bearable.
It gives you the ability to pursue a goal.
So, why is it important to not only question but hear what others have to say on the things you already made you mind up about?
The popular saying say:
A lie repeated 1,000 times becomes truth.
The way our little meat robot monkey brain operates, it holds on to beliefs it acquired and never questions them no matter how stupid and untrue they are.
As long as it is once convinced something's a fact, a human person will live their whole life thinking very untrue things and even fight wars in defense of those.
All because the idea was never challenged.
Questioning politics, positions of power, authority, and religion sound like thing that is given.
But most people really don't do that.
And once you are the part of the system, being passive towards all sorts of mundane things goes hand in hand with actual rules against questioning designed to protect said system.
I don't care to question and I would get in trouble if I did anyway, so what do you want from me?
Sounds familiar?
Well, perhaps it don't.
But, believe or not, that's the mindset of literally 100's of millions of Chinese people.
If you don't question, and if you don't listen to what other people have to say about a subject, you're only open to what you are spoon fed.
In the real world,
nobody's spoon feeds an adult,
unless they make a buck off of it.
You can question and make informed decisions, or you can be an useful idiot.
It's your call.

The US and South Korea have jointly considered implementing plan to detect, disrupt and destroy North Korean missiles carrying nuclear as well as biochemical warheads.
US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter and South Korean Defense Minister Han Min Koo approved the implementation of a plan if needed; following the raising attack threats of North Korea.
The plan, based on conceptual scenarios of a North Korean attack, emphasizes the rising urgency among US as well as South Korean officials to be prepared if the North Korea obtains the ability to tip a missile with a nuclear warhead, Bloomberg reported today.
In September this year, North Korea stated that it was willing to carry out a nuclear attack on its enemies at any point. It also confirmed the resumption of operations at its main nuclear facility.
"We spoke candidly today about North Korean threats nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, cyber, conventional military threats," Carter said at a joint press conference with Han Min-goo, the South Korean defense minister.
"Those threats continue to put at risk the peace and security of the peninsula, the region as well as the US." Han added.
South Korea has estimated that North Korea has 2,500 tons to 5,000 tons of chemical weapons.
North Korea also possesses an arsenal of missiles that it says can strike the US. The nation conducted its third nuclear test in 2013 and threatened this year to conduct a fourth one.
Carter's talks with Han coincided with the first bilateral summit between South Korean President Park Geun Hye and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Seoul.
North Korea does not have the technology to mount nuclear warheads on its ballistic missiles. "Pyongyang has made considerable progress in miniaturizing nuclear warheads but it still needs to develop a technology to mount them on missiles," South Korean Defense Ministry sources were quoted as saying by Xinhua news agency
North Korea has showcased a new version of intercontinental ballistic missile that has range of 10,000 kilometres in a military parade. The improved version of the KN-08 missile has a modified warhead, Yonhap news agency reported today
Hanwha Thales has bagged a contract from the South Korean Defense Acquisition Program Administration(DAPA) to develop unmanned ground surveillance sensors for monitoring North Korean forces in the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). The South Korean defense procurement agency said Tuesday that the deal between the DAPA and local company Hanwha Thales, a joint venture between Thales and Hanwha, is worth 3
The US is hoping to operationalize a trilateral military intelligence sharing agreement with South Korea and Japan to build a robust security partnership with its allies. David Shear, assistant secretary of defense for Asian and Pacific security affairs, made the remark in a speech at the think tank Atlantic Council, referring to the information-sharing memorandum of understanding that the three countries signed last year
Airbus Helicopters and Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly market Korean helicopter platforms worldwide. The collaboration will encompass the distribution of the Korean Light Civil Helicopter (LCH) and Light Armed Helicopter (LAH) globally, as well as the performance of comprehensive after-sales support services, Airbus said in a statement

What series did you play out of order? Let us know in the comments below. Technically I played Call of Duty 4 before all the others, which naturally didn't affect my enjoyment, given there's no thread between the stories except that they feature a man with a mustache called Captain Price.
- The Wonder is You (Revised)!
- What series did you play out of order?.
- The Hidden Third.
- Die Idee des Kommunismus: Band II (German Edition).
- The Devil Laughed (A Moriah Dru/Richard Lake Mystery)?
What Modern Warfare did do, though, is send me back to play Call of Duty 2, which has a phenomenal campaign. That came out when I didn't own any decent gaming hardware, so I was pleased to get the opportunity. I'll also take any opportunity to skip a non-essential Assassin's Creed game. I didn't complete a single one between Assassin's Creed 3 and Origins, but that didn't bother me at all. Do they have an interconnecting story? But ultimately it's the individual assassins that help make those adventures engaging. I had never played a Metal Gear game before the Phantom Pain, but it got some great reviews and so I figured it should be fun.

The short review Dual POV stories always intrigue me. Char and Niell made Dragon God really enjoyable because I liked them as people. They felt really authentic to their back history which worked really well to inform who they were and how they reacted to being drafted into the Draconis Order.
This added to the fact, I love dragons. I especially love dragon books about raising a dragon. Dragon God had a little dragon raising and I loved all these moments with Char. I even liked it when Niell became involved too. There was also a TON of politics. Well at least there was a lot of setup for politics.
Many characters were introduced and villains were setup to use politics with these Draconic monks. Nothing really came of these politics except for a battle that didn't need all of this political setup. This formed the bulk of Niell's POV and it was rather boring in places. At other moments everything felt quite rushed and easy, much like a middle grade book is at times. So we end up with an adult framed story and a middle grade read, it will throw some readers off, even though it has potential.
The next book will really be the gauge because if the author does some plotting with all of this setup the following books will make for a depthful read! Ava Richardson knows what she is doing when it comes to cover design.
What series did you play out of order? | PC Gamer
I was totally drawn to Dragon God because of the art. And happily so My only problem with it is that the setting in the cover seems off. I know there was a large cavern that the red dragon lived in but it was under a waterfall. And the kind dragon lived in one under ground but the red dragon wasn't there Most of the time dragons are portrayed as one of two ways Friends and companions to humans or monsters who humans must fight. This world bridges both of those dragon tropes and positions dragons are more human than creature, being both good and bad.
It's an intriguing idea! This world certainly hearkens back to the traditional old world style fantasy with castles, swords and war mongering. It also incorporates the magic and dark sorcery that is so popular in fantasy right now. While this isn't totally fresh it's setup in a way that takes on a personality of its own. Right now we get a ton of introductions with a bunch of political vignettes. I feel like all of these secondary characters have great potential to add to the dragon rider story. Sure it isn't quite achieved in Dragon God but the setup is in place to take us places!
As a Writer Many readers and thus writers misunderstand the purpose of a multiple POV story. It's meant to showcase aspects of the world that you wouldn't naturally see from a single POV.
Get Your Free Audiobook
You should have complete story and character arcs from each of the POVs. Simpler arcs or well known trope arcs are perfect for one or the other POVs as they are don't need as much development.
Thus the world building can be concentrated on with that POV. It's a great way to give depth to a story without overloading one character. Char was all about this red dragon and I was really interested in what would happen with her. Niell's story was really lacking in plot, a lot of time spent telling us about the world and agonizing about his role at the order. He had a large role to play in the end with Char but I wish that he had more of his own events.
There were plenty of characters and there could have been a whole lot more intrigue and plotting between the different political parties. Dragon God is a solid start to a middle grade transitioning into YA story that has the potential for unusual depth and breathe to the story. The dragons are truly a superior aspect and well worth revisiting the medieval setting of the story. Char and Niell are dragon riders to watch! It has not influenced my opinions.

Apr 26, Tasha and Megan Mahoney rated it really liked it Shelves: audio-book , supernatural , fantasy , dragon. I really liked this book. The beginning threw me off a bit due to the fact that a lot of fantasy-esque terms were used that hadn't been introduced or explained, however they come into play further within the book. I'm not all too familiar with the fantasy genre other than Lord of the Rings, so I didn't know quite what I was in for with this book but given that I really enjoy Dragonheart I was interested in what this book had to offer.
I won't go too much into detail as I don't want to spoil this I really liked this book.
Dragon Mage
I won't go too much into detail as I don't want to spoil this book, but it has some really tense and thrilling chapters! Once I had moved past my initial confusion which if you've read my other reviews I'm quite good at being confused by things the book really began to draw me in. Whilst Neil Torvald is the adventurous and somewhat stubbornly loyal protagonist type, I was amazed to find that he wasn't written to be some stereotypical good-at-everything-he-does leading role!
Don't be put off by this concept though - I found that it added more depth to the character, showing us the hardships and accomplishments that went along with all of the difficulties in learning new skills. It also paved the road to introducing new characters, instead of slotting them into the immediate role of sidekick.
The pacing of the book is easy to keep up with, I didn't find myself getting bored at any point and I could easily see this as a story that would become a film.

The introduction of dragons happens in two different contexts, one being personal introduction and another being scholarly. I came to really enjoy the narration!
Dragon Mage
Tiffany Williams narrates each character incredibly well, reflecting the personalities into her voice. Each characters voice was significantly different and it was easy to distinguish which character was speaking without context clues. Williams mirrored the suspense of the story itself in her voice which added a really impressive atmosphere to the audiobook. I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by Ava Richardson. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
