As reported by John Masanauskas for the Herald-Sun on 25 October.
'Voters Say Country is Full, Support Partial Ban on Muslim Immigration: Report."
Me, I'd like a total ban. But even a partial ban would make a great deal of sense. Precautionary principle. If anyone claims it would be impossible, I say not: to keep out most Muslims, just slap a ban on entry of any person holding a passport issued by a known-to-be-majority-Muslim OIC member country. Discreetly exempt from the ban such persons, from those countries, as can be proven to be bona fide members of the generally-mistreated-and-abused non-Islamic indigenous minorities in said Islamic OIC countries. For example, Copts from Egypt. I'm sure that the emigre Coptic community would be happy to step up and help identify which applicants really are Copts... and which are not; same principle would apply with Maronites, Yazidis, Mandeans, and Assyrian Christians. - CM
'A majority of Australian voters believe the country is full, and almost half support a partial ban on Muslim immigration, a new survey has revealed.
'In a blow for official multiculturalism (no, it's a blow for those who are pushing Islamisation - CM) it found that just over 50 percent of voters agree that Australia has changed beyond recognition, and "sometimes feels like a foreign country".
'The explosive data from the poll, commissioned by The Australian Population Research Institute, has enormous implications for the main political parties, as Australians cope with massive population growth driven by record migrant intakes.
'The nation's population grew by 384,000 in the year to March 2017, with 60 percent of that due to net overseas migration.
I would be interested to know how many people from overwhelmingly-Muslim countries entered Australia March 2016-March 2017, as compared to persons from non-Muslim countries. - CM
'Melbourne has among the highest growth rates of any city in the Western world - it added nearly one milliion people over the last decade to reach a population of more than 4.7 million.
'Arrivals from Asia dominate annual migration to Victoria, with those born in India and China the top settlers.
Those from China are, at least, unlikely to be Islamic. It would be worth trying to find out what proportion of Indian-passport-holding immigrants are Muslims, and what proportion are not. Because it is only the Muslims - from wherever - who represent an immediate and mortal - and permanent - danger to the body politic; whose expansion within Australia, to a colony now nearly a million strong, is already a massive and very expensive homeland-security headache. - CM
'The TAPRI survey, to be released on Thursday, was done in July-August, and based on a random national sample of 2067 voters, from an online panel of 300,000 people, run by The Online Research Institute.
'It found that 74 percent thought Australia did not need more people, with big majorities believing that population growth was putting "a lot of pressure on hospitals, roads, affordable housing and jobs.
And on our limited supply of arable land and potable water. Urban expansion is putting huge negative pressure on our fragile and beautiful natural environment, too. - CM
'Fifty-four percent wanted a cut to migration, while 55 percent agreed Australia "was in danger of losing its culture and identity", and 52 percent said the country had changed so much that it sometimes felt foreign.
The Australian birth rate is not much below replacement. If we stopped all immigration, or even if we just stopped the Muslim intake, we would probably stabilise at around replacement level. - CM
'On Muslim immigration, 48 percent supported a partial ban, a quarter opposed a ban, and 27 percent neither supported or opposed it.
If Mohammedans keep on driving trucks over people, running amok with knives, etc, in countries across the western world, I suspect the concept of a 'total ban' will replace that of a 'partial ban' , and the undecideds are going to start hopping off the fence. If even half the undecideds woke up, and saw the obvious - "Got Muslims? Got JIhad", then 48 percent wanting a ban on Muslim immigration, would become 60 percent. And then perhaps our politicians might begin to sit up and take notice. - CM
"While Coalition and One Nation voters were more likely to voice concerns over migration and cultural diversity Oh, pfft, let's just say "concerns about Muslim migration and Islamisation". When will one of these polling organisations bite the bullet and run a survey examining, specifically, people's attitudes toward Muslim immigration, and Islamisation, only? Why not ask people straightout and upfront: do you want more Muslims in the country/ the same number as now/ fewer? Do you think Australia would be better off/ worse off/ the same, if its Muslim population increased/ stayed the same/ decreased? And state some percentages. Would you be worried/ pleased/ indifferent if Muslims in Australia became ten percent of the population/ twenty percent/ thirty percent/ forty percent? And how about some questions asking those in favour of "more Islam/ More Muslims' why exactly they take that position? - CM
substantial minorities of ALP voters (that is: persons on the 'left' or 'progressive' side of Aussie politics - CM) had similar views.
Now that is interesting. Shows that reality is well and truly beginning to bite. - CM
'In their report on the data, TAPRI researchers Dr Katharine Betts and Dr Bob Birrell said the results revealed much higher public concern over such issues, than recent surveys by outfits like the pro-migration Scanlon Foundation.
'The authors said that the nation's political and economic elites had relied on the foundation's consistent reports that most Australians supported their migration and multicultural policies, partly because Australia had been insulated from the economic shocks suffered by some other Western countries.
Or because a lot of Aussies don't live in those suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne that have been very rapidly and almost entirely Islamised in the past few decades... - CM
"(But) Australian voters' concern about immigration levels and ethnic diversity does not derive from economic adversity", the TAPRI report said. "Rather, it stems from the increasingly obvious impact of population growth on their quality of life and the rapid change in Australia's ethnic and religious make-up."
Before we let in hundreds of thousands of Muslims AFP and our metropolitan police and ASIO were not run off their feet, expensively and frantically trying to keep tabs on multitudes of potential Jihad plotters. We did not have to worry about persons galloping off to places like Syria and getting 'blooded' in jihad and then coming back home to potentially wreak mayhem amongst innocent Aussie infidel civilians. And we didn't have to have a "Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad", either. - CM
'The authors said that such voter angst (no: "such rational and historically-informed voter concerns" - CM) could easily be exploited in campaigns by parties like One Naiton and Australian Conservatives, but it also offered the Coalition government a lifeline in the face of consistently bad opinion polls.
'The Liberal Party may have little choice but to mount such a campaign because it faces electoral oblivion in 2018 if it does not guard its voter base from challengers from the right." they said. "If the Liberals do make such a move, Labor is likely to be a big loser, given that many of its supporters are potentially responsive to such a move".
If we want to survive as a free majority-infidel country, the already-Islamoinformed have to keep trying to educate and warn the as-yet-uninformed, to get the numbers up past 48 percent into 50, 60, 70 percent. Then voter pressure will ensure that a complete ban on all further entry of Muslims into the country - coupled with appropriate rejigging of laws to allow for other measures that appear to be called for, such as the stripping of citizenship from Aussie-passport-holding Muslims who have tootled off to join Islamic State jihad in Syria - becomes a non-negotiable part of all parties' policy platforms. - CM
Howard Nelson
Bad Grief! Are the other 52% descendants of the infamous BlightCourseMen of yesteryear, charging to their dumb doom? Have they not read the 109 Verses of Violence in the Koran which abrogate all the benign verses? Do they understand the difference between Islamophobia and Islammetusia? Do they know the significance and differences among the terms taqiya, kitman, hudna, and nasakh? If not, they'll wonder why their funeral service is being held so soon and their pallbearers are Waltzing Matilda with their coffins.
Christina McIntosh
In reply to "Howard Nelson". First, the Lighthorsemen who charged the Muslim lines at Beersheba were NOT killed. The vast majority survived, and triumphed. And their victory was something that I, personally, celebrate and applaud. YOU, perhaps think that opening the way for the creation of Israel was a bad thing (do you?); me, I think it was a very good thing, well worth doing. As for the article: there are not 52 percent of Aussies who are *in favour* of mohammedan immigration. 48 percent of the polled sample - which is very close to half - are already *opposed*. All one needs is for another 3 percent of the population to join them, and one has a majority: all it takes in a democracy is 51 percent. Of the other 52 percent, 27 percent are *neutral* - very probably because they as yet know NOTHING. It is the responsibility of the informed 48 percent, to awaken that 27 percent, and get them to change their position from neutral, to an active opposition of Muslim entry into Australia. Note well: there is a *barrage* of Islamopuffery in our media, both the commercial media and the state-funded national outlets. Therefore, the 48 percent who oppose Muslim immigration have reached that conclusion **in the teeth of** a general atmosphere militating *against* such a conclusion. It has taken time. At sites like jihadwatch one regularly encounters commenters, new persons turning up and joining the discussion, who have *only very recently* realized that Islam is deadly-dangerous and its advancement must be opposed. You might sneer and say, "what took them so long?" MY response is: better late than never. Furthermore: even of the 25 percent who currently oppose a ban on Muslim immigration, there may be some who do that because they are wholly uninformed about Islam and its deplorable track record, and think such a ban would infringe against religious freedom / human rights/ etc. Those who are not out-and-out Islamophiles may well ... wake up and change their minds, under the right circumstances. You go ahead and wallow in despair if you like; but *I* think the situation is very far from hopeless, and that the Islamoinformed must simply resolve to persevere.

What's holding you back from achieving your goals?
Close your eyes for a minute, take a deep breath, and think about your goals as a path through life. Stuck in a stinky mud pit? Standing on a beautiful, but lonely plateau? Wandering in a dark forest?
Why are you where you are instead of where you want to be?
Complete the following sentence: If I had ___________, then I could do _______.
If only I had more money, more time, more knowledge, more experience… or if only my friends/family/would just be supportive… Then I could fulfill my dreams…
Here's a secret: Money, time, approval, help… those are not the keys to happiness and success in achieving our goals. Those are excuses we give ourselves to quit- or worse, not bother starting at all.
Happiness (and success) comes from many choices- some are large, but most are small. It's up to you to maintain the discipline to make all the little decisions along the way that keep you focused and on track. Truth is, happiness is a choice. It's up to you to decide to accept yourself, along with your shortcomings and imperfections. Luckily, every moment is an opportunity to make (or reaffirm) a new decision and although YOU do have to put in the work, you DON'T have to do it alone!
- Do you believe (or want to believe) that you can choose happiness for yourself?
- Do you want to live an authentic life and help others do the same?
- Are you looking for something more meaningful than accumulating money and stuff? (But still want to live comfortably?)
For the next year, I will be making an effort to stop making excuses and to start knocking down some of my lifelong goals. As I go along, I'll share whatever I find. Please feel free to read and comment- let me know what you think! And if you are in need of a supportive community, please join the discussion in our Facebook group.

Following is a speech by the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Mr Frederick Ma, at the Small and Medium Practices Forum organised by the International Federation of Accountants today (July 3):
Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning. It is indeed a pleasure to be here today at the IFAC Small and Medium Practices Forum. First of all, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to all of you to this event; and to our guests from out of town, welcome to Hong Kong - Asia's world city.
As the programme stated, this is an important international forum bringing together distinguished members of the accountancy profession and delegates from prestigious accountancy bodies from many regions. We may be from different economies, working in different business environments and operating under different regulatory regimes. Nevertheless, what brings us together today is our common recognition of the enormous contributions of small-and-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in our respective economies.
SMEs are indeed a powerful economic force in countries around the world. In Hong Kong, SMEs play an integral part in our economic prosperity, underpinning our economy's rapid and successful transformation from a light industrial hub into an international commercial and financial centre.
As at December 2005, there were about 268,000 SMEs in Hong Kong, accounting for over 98% of the total business entities. They provide job opportunities to about 1.18 million persons, that is, over one-third of our total working population. In the accountancy sector, we are also blessed with many versatile SME firms. Figures of Hong Kong Institute of CPAs as at June 2006 indicate that there are some 1,340 small-and medium-sized CPA firms and practices in Hong Kong, providing highly competitive auditing, accounting, secretarial, taxation and other related services to a large pool of clients, including their SME counterparts in other sectors.
You will agree with me that the essential ingredients for success of an SME include flexibility, good market foresight, and the ability to rapidly respond to evolving market trends and requirements. In Hong Kong, we firmly believe that the Government should, on the one hand, do their best to stay out of the way of businessmen; but on the other hand, strive to create the best possible environment in which prosperity can be created and competition can flourish. To this end, our Government has been implementing various measures which would facilitate the business operation and development of SMEs. We review government regulations and streamline procedures impacting on business. We provide free business information and consultation services to SMEs including business start-ups.
Moreover, opportunities abound for SMEs following the implementation of the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement, known as "CEPA", between the Mainland and Hong Kong. Under the arrangement, Hong Kong's industries and services suppliers are offered easier and wider market access in many different sectors, including accounting, securities, legal service, construction, distribution, among others.
For example, under CEPA, consultancy companies established by Hong Kong CPAs are allowed to provide bookkeeping services in the Mainland. Measures are also in place to promote mutual recognition of professional accounting qualifications and experiences in Hong Kong and the Mainland, as well as to facilitate Hong Kong CPA firms to apply for temporary business permits to practise on the Mainland.
Our Government is committed to providing a business-friendly environment. We are proud that our efforts are always widely recognised. This year, the US-based Heritage Foundation named Hong Kong the world's freest economy for the 12th consecutive year. But we cannot afford to be complacent. We are fully aware that, at the same time, we must continue to staunchly uphold Hong Kong's fundamentals, including the rule of law, a level playing field, a healthy fiscal and monetary regime, a clean and highly efficient government, free flow of information, world-class infrastructure, global connectivity, state-of-the-art logistics and communication network, versatility and creativity of our labour force.
Nonetheless, the Government's work is only part of the whole story. Indeed, it is not just what the Government should or can do to support the development of SMEs. The Government and the private sector must work together to raise the profile of SMEs, promote their competitiveness and facilitate their pursuit of excellence. In this regard, we always welcome and encourage greater participation from the private sector, particularly talented professional circles, in adding value to business operations. Accountants are recognised as the linchpin of the business world. SMEs are not fighting a lonely battle, you are there to help and guide SMEs to safeguard their commercial interests, ensure compliance with regulatory standards, contain compliance burdens, enhance corporate governance, upgrade their personnel, and so on.
In this regard, I am very heartened to see the support and enthusiasm rendered to SMEs by the esteemed accountancy bodies that organised today's forum. The International Federation of Accountants and the Confederation of Asian and Pacific Accountants have demonstrated their commitment through their active participation in the process of International Accounting Standards Board in developing appropriate financial reporting standards for SMEs. At the local level, the Hong Kong Institute of CPAs, as the statutory setter of financial reporting standards in Hong Kong, has been working very hard to develop the SMEs Financial Reporting Framework and Financial Reporting Standard, which has been in effect since January 2005. These represent important steps forward in enhancing the resilience of the financial reporting regime for SMEs. I am confident that these bodies will continue their invaluable work, while strengthening international and regional alliance and cooperation on these fronts.
Ladies and gentlemen, I see that you have a very full programme today. You have a good cross-section of distinguished speakers of recognised professional standing to address a host of important accounting issues facing SMEs. While I defer to you experts to engage in a candid exchange of views later on, allow me to just re-emphasise one point here: while there is broad consensus towards developing global reporting standards catering specifically for SMEs in order to lower compliance costs and meet the different needs of users of financial statements, public interest will still demand the same level of integrity, transparency, quality, reliability and corporate responsibility in the dissemination of financial reports of SMEs. Any initiatives or reforms must therefore be accompanied by equally effective regulatory means to uphold the corporate governance principle.
Before closing, I would like to thank again the International Federation of Accountants, and the two co-hosts, for choosing Hong Kong as the place of your forum. Hong Kong is uniquely positioned, more than any other economy to speak up for free trade and open markets for SMEs. Having built the best foundation for business, the Government of Hong Kong will leave entrepreneurs and investors free to get on with the business of generating wealth. With these remarks, I wish today's forum great success. And, to our overseas guests, let me invite you to spare some time to look around Hong Kong, to enjoy the value-for-money services of our many SMEs, and experience our unique blend of East and West. Thank you very much.
Ends/Monday, July 3, 2006

I almost don't want to post this because we knew she was lying all along. But, now it's official so we'll just document it:
"The bottom line: It appears Pelosi hasn't been honest with the American public about her knowledge of the CIA's actions during the Bush years, post 9/11. She was among congressional leaders briefed starting in 2002 on the use of torture on al Qaida suspects. The interrogation techniques included waterboarding."

Congratulations Whanau, we have made it to a major milestone.
The past few years of hard work by our negotiators and our many trustees over time has come to fruition.
With the completion of voting, we can reveal the following:
On the issue of accepting the Ngati Hei Settlement the voting numbers were:
133 people voted
All unanimously voted for the acceptance of the Settlement Package.
On the issue of the Ngati Hei PSGE Deed and its associated Trustees the voting numbers were:
133 people voted
122 voted to accept the deed
10 voted in the negative
As a 91.73% vote in the positive, the PSGE Deed and the associated Trustees have been accepted also.
What does this mean for us next?
We now wait for the acceptance of the voting by the Government and then pending that acceptance, the Trustees will sign a resolution to uphold the deed and travel to Wellington to officially sign over the settlement.
Once done, the hard work begins. We have a lot to prepare for with the returning assets and the upcoming 2019 Captain Cook Anniversary Celebrations and in order to see this through we will need to muster our available resources and begin the journey to revitalizing Ngati Hei and our surrounding communities.
I look forward to beginning this journey with all of you.
Thank you for your support whanau, Kia Kaha!
Derek Neal, Chairman, Ngati Hei Charitable Trust.

What is a Hoverboard
A Hoverboard is a stylized means of transportation that very closely resembles a skateboard with two parallel wheels, allowing the rider to stand facing forward, head and shoulders square, and feet shoulder length apart. There is no need for the "kick-push" of a skateboard since the Hoverboard runs on an electric motor.
Hoverboards — don't actually "hover" above the ground — are a technically innovative, and unique mode of transportation right out of the "Back-to-the-future II" movie where the boards actual did levitate. These boards, also referred to as hoverboard "segway's" are all the rage and tons of fun; a fantastic alternative means of transportation.
How does a Hoverboard Work
Hoverboards work on a simple principal, linking a few basic components, namely a gyroscope to determine the pitch and balance of the board continually monitoring the orientation of the user on the board and making fine adjustments to keep the board stable while providing as smooth and comfortable a ride as possible.
Motors on hoverboards are also utilized to stabilize the board and enhance the support platform, supporting the riders' weight while moving the board forward and backward. The 2 smooth steel wheels are much larger then any skateboard wheels out there. The gyroscope, also connected to the microprocessors, helps gather rider and surface information, gauging the tilt of the board. Motors inside the hoverboard assistance in changing power output to keep the rider balanced.
Once the battery pack is powered to capacity getting onto the board is a simple process of placing one foot onto the board and shifting your weight accordingly to allow you to bring the other foot forward and then leaning forward, slightly, to accelerate – by leaning backwards the rider is able to decelerate as needed to maintain safety. The hoverboards sensors automatically track motion, trigger the motors for propulsion, as well as activate the boards' microprocessors to monitor and control power output.
These features prevent the rider from racing off out of control; they also stop the board from speeding away without the rider. There is no doubt that hoverboards are cool and a lot of fun to ride but remember that all models do not ride the same; different models travel at different speeds, some models have different inclines while other models possess varying battery capacities, and come in an overabundance of styles and designs.
The Benefits of Riding Hoverboards
In our technically advanced modern world where the daily cost of living seems to be constantly rising, some of the latest technology innovative devices can help us to reduce our over all expense load freeing up funds.
Hoverboards are a great testament of such savvy innovation.
Self balancing two-wheel hoverboards run off of a rechargeable electric battery and can be used to travel wherever and whenever you want, as long as you have a relatively flat and hazard free surface; going to and from work, shopping, riding back from the gym after a long legs routine, or going on a date.
There are numerous benefits of using self-balancing hoverboards for instance:
Not relying on petroleum to power their motors and depleting a major non-renewable energy source is a bit plus. Using a smart device that doesn't consume these precious resources is beneficial for both the environment and humanity. Don't drive glide that's what I say!
Hoverboards run with very few moving parts, apart from the wheels. The solid construction and advanced engineered design make them very sturdy with long lasting durability. And when it comes to storage these small boards are easily stored away or parked anywhere even inside since you can strand them up. Low maintenance and durability make owning a hoverboard a lot more attractive to the alternatives that can be more expensive and much more cumbersome when it comes to storage and finding an upkeep.
You won't need any special training or hours of practice to get the hang of it. The best way to master riding a hoverboard is to relax and enjoy the exhilaration. Hoverboards are designed with self-balancing features and easy handling operation sensors so by following the simple instructions included with the purchase of the board or online at anyone of numerous websites or alternatively by viewing an informational video found on YouTube, you can start riding almost immediately after receiving your board.
Just in case you needed some idea of where to use your Segway here are a few suggestions: commuting to and from work, around your college or university campus, visiting friends and family, trips to the market, at a party or really at any event you can imagine. Convince and cost savings! However, curbs will be challenging as well as making quick turns and maneuvering through crowds at any type of pace. Give yourself a direct route to your destination and you'll be just fine. One importance consideration to keep in mind is whether or not the hoverboard is legal where you want to ride it.
Factor this in when you are choosing your next model or when buying a hoverboard for a friend or colleague. Pay attention to the size of board you're getting. Large hoverboards are stable, well balanced. Compact ones on the other hand are portable and benefit individuals that travel a lot or are limited on storage space.
Things to Consider When Choosing a Hoverboard
Here are some things that should be considered when choosing a hoverboard. There are 2 types of hoverbroads currently available on the market today. Although both models enjoy similar hands-free riding utility, they vary in terms of their features and overall functionality.
- A sturdy polymer plastic shell that supports the weight of the riders
- Dual wheels connected by a smooth-rolling hinged system. Each wheel has an independent motor that allows it to rotate independently and rubberized tires that grip on all terrain environments.
- Board-mounted, pressure-sensitive pads, that respond to the rider's motions in all directions — most importantly when stopping.
One of the best ways to sort through all of the confusion is to talk with friends and people you trust to get their advice on where to start looking and what to start looking for. Another excellent place to look is online; the comments section of blogs and the remarks left can be a source of invaluable information. Take the time to find a credible hoverboard brand and design. Take those online reviews and comment on the internet seriously and single out high-quality brands that offer value to users; then compare pros and cons and choose one that satisfies your needs.
When looking for the perfect hoverboard for commuting and or personal recreational use, never sacrifice quality for cost. There are far too many reports of cheaply designed and poorly made hoverboards exploding and or causing bodily harm to riders. The product you choose should come from a reputable brand and have high-grade and highly functional parts. Make sure the board is also durable, forged from top notch craftsmanship. Make sure when purchasing a board there is a return policy, a money back guarantee, and/or a replacement manufacturer's warranty.
Hoverboards are unique personal transporters that draw power from built in rechargeable battery packs. Battery capacity and charging time thus, are vital attributes to keep in mind, to find the best in this niche. Generally, the higher its battery capacity and range the better. You should also opt for hoverboards with fast charging systems. You want to make sure to get a hoverboard that has decent battery protection. Protecting the battery is crucial to keep your hoverboard running smoothly for years to come.
The other thing you want to consider is the waterproof warning. Not waterproof means stay away from water! If these things enter the battery case and cause electronic issues watch out. The size, wattage, and use of additional features can all affect the battery life. Search for a hoverboard that has a balance of decent wattage, average charge time, and a satisfactory battery life. Nothing is more of a drag than being halfway to your destination and having your hoverboard lose power.
All depends on the motor and battery pack on the hoverboard. Speeds and ranges vary; with most high-end models cruising at 20km/h can be achieved quite easily.
As tempting as it may be to go out and purchase the cheapest hoverboard on the market just to save a few dollars, never sacrifice functionality and safety for price. Instead of purchasing a cheap hoverboard that will most likely malfunction or worse soon after purchasing, spend a little more money on a decent brand/make that will last and perform. To get good quality and safety, you will have to pay above and beyond $300 for a quality hoverboard.
The Bluetooth capabilities vary by the board. Most common features include playing music, connecting to an app, and using GPS to track your distance. Be sure to check the specs, as some boards don't come with Bluetooth. And the ones that do may only have one of the features listed. Some hoverboards come with fancy technology, like sensors that slow the hoverboard down instead of just abruptly stopping when the battery runs dry. Another technological feature is "no fall technology." This means that the hoverboard will stay upright and balanced at all times.
UL- Certification is a must, must, must! I cannot stress this enough. The reason the old self-balancing scooters kept blowing up was because of their batteries. They were not tested and approved by UL. The models with UL-certified batteries will proudly display this sticker on the bottom of the product. Make sure to look for this sticker or you could end up with a faulty board.
The question of where to ride your hoverboard, shouldn't be taken lightly. The difference in how your board handles one environment from the next can be drastic. You would think they could go just about anywhere, right? However, not all boards are created equal. Depending on wheel size, the width of the board, and torque of the motor(s) will determine whether or not you are about to conquer some groundwork. Also, consider the incline of where you're going.
Self-balancing scooters usually come with head and rear LED lights so you can ride around at night. The distance that light is thrown, however, is different between models and brands.
In terms of weight restrictions, many hoverboards can hold up to 250 pounds (113 kilograms). A couple of brands out there can even go up to 264 pounds (119 kilograms). Do keep in mind that the more weight a hoverboard has to bear, the slower it will be, and the more taxing it is for the battery.
Make sure the hoverboard comes backed by a warranty. Look for a reliable company with good customer service? This is where a lot of research comes in handy, as well as reading reviews online. But don't just rely on Amazon or other retailers for testimonials. Go to the exact company website to learn more.
Hoverboards come in a variety colors and patterns.
There are two kinds of hoverboards currently available for resale:
Street models: Hoverboard's 6.5-inch wheels and a lack of handlebars mean that going off flat surfaces or carpeting could be problematic
Off-road models: riding over rough terrains, like gravel, will unbalance the board. Off-road hoverboards usually have 8.5 inches tires or larger.
Best Hoverboard Reviews 2017

SWAGTRON T1 – UL2271 Certified Hoverboard
The Swagtron T1 is an innovative and very catchy hoverboard that is built for the flamboyant user and one that would like to get around fairly quickly. The state of the art piece of equipment is quite handy and quite a number of people have been able to share their enthusiasm and confidence on the hoverboard.

Easy on the eye and with a very basic design, it is quite easy to overlook this hoverboard but its secrets lie with the features.
- Build quality & durability – the Razor Hovertrax is made from a shatter-resistant polymer frame and also features a fender to protect the bumper which makes it very durable and with good build quality.
- Portability and size – the hoverboard measures 23.5 by 6.9 by 7.5 inches and weighs about 19.2 pounds. Even though it is one of the smallest hoverboards there is, it is not as portable since there is no backpack or carry strap that is included with the purchase.

- Speed and range –you're able to enjoy speeds of up to 8mph and up to 60 minutes of continuous rides for the user. The time is dependent on the terrain and the weight of the user.
- Weight loading capability – the hoverboard has a maximum weight load of 220 pounds and is recommended for users that are as young as 96 months.
- Terrain handling – With the smaller wheels and stature, there is no question that this is a hoverboard that is best used in urban well tarmacked areas. New users might also want to refer to their local laws to identify how best they can use the Razor Hovertrax.
- Battery capacity – the Hovertrax is powered by a 36V battery which can be interchanged with the LG branded cells for longer rides. There is no rating on how much time it takes to fully charge the battery.
- Safety and certification – Razor was the first U.S. Brand to receive the UL 2272 listing for safety and the Hovertrax is on that same list. The board also features high fire and electrical standards and two different riding modes for riders and learners. It also features self-balancing technology that is aimed at benefiting first-time users.
- Legality – users are advised to check with their local laws and regulation before using the board to know how best they can enjoy their ride.

Halo Rover Hoverboard
The Halo Hoverboard is a fortress of features and functionality and one of the few hoverboards that adopts a more aggressive design to tackle harsher terrains.
- Build quality & durability – With a high great aluminum guard and frame and 8.5" rover tires, build quality and durability does not get any better. It is exactly what you would expect from a board that is meant to tackle any type of terrain.

- Speed and range – The rover is able to reach speeds of up to 10 mph with a range of up to 10 miles on a single charge.
- Weight loading capability – Unlike most hoverboards, the Halo Rover is able to carry up to 265 pounds of weight compared to the usual 220 pounds.

EPIKGO UL2272 Self Balancing Scooter
If you love the Halo Rover, then there is no doubt that you're going to like the EPIKGO Self Balancing Scooter. It works and looks like the Halo Rover save for some features and functionalities which might end up being the deal breaker.

- Portability and size – with regards to size the EPIKGO is 30% larger than the Halo Rover. Even though this means more foot space and clearance, it also means that it is less portable and heavier.
- Pricing – Bigger, better and more features mean a steeper price tag. If you're looking for a great hoverboard that you can take just about anywhere, the price should not really be a concern. You will get value for your money.
- Speed and range – Powered by two 400 watts motors, the hoverboard is able to do up to 12.1mph and run up to 10 miles on a single charge which is very impressive.

It can go up hills with an 18-degree radius and the best part is it can also tackle mud and puddles of water thanks to the semi-submersible body.
- Battery capacity – such a strong and aggressive body requires an equally impressive battery to match it. With a range of 10 miles and a fast charging battery with a 2-hour limit, you're able to get back to having fun in a shorter span of time.

- Reliability – with a tough build, better clearance, and a waterproof shell backed with a one-year warranty there is no better reliability that any rider would want that is better than that.

Ali and his younger brother, together with their parents are life-long immigrants from Afghanistan. They just arrived in Turkey. Every day they go to school and work hard the rest of the day as shoe shiners on the street. Both have one dream in common: work hard to save money and go after their uncle Kakay who has been traceless since he left Turkey with the trafficker for the West. A great deal of their earnings goes to the rent. One day they found out that another kid occupied their working spot for shoe shining. A fight breaks and they kick the other boy badly. Since the fight, the peace disappears from their inner human nature as a kid. More sadly, Ali's childhood is gone for good when he sees that the boy they kicked is a Syrian refugee and has the same destiny as them.
What we hear these days about Middle East are war and madness. Many groups fight against many others. People get killed and many take a refuge in the neighborhood countries. Turkey, as the bridge between east and west has become one of the countries where many refugees take a temporary shelter. Recently millions of Syrian refugees have come to Turkey who live under a tough and poor conditions. Many of this huge number of homeless people have to struggle for survival. The story of ''Angelus Novus'' is a snapshot of their daily life. The name Angelus Novus is inspired by the notes of Walter Benjamin on the famous Paul Klee's painting '' Angelus Novus''- the Angel carries the history but still dreams of flying forward. Neither history nor the future can take the heavy weight of the daily life from the Angel's shoulders.
Angelus Novus was selected for screening at the 44th International Film Festival in Rotterdam.

Dubai based Neha and Pawan married in a beautiful and intimate destination wedding in Muscat, Oman.
Choosing the luxurious Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah for the wedding venue, Neha's choice of elegant decor along with the couple's choice of beautiful couture, created a gorgeous destination wedding just a short flight away from their home.
In the Photographer's Words: The Bride & Groom
When they contacted and told us they are getting married in Muscat, We were like "wow!". The location is perfect combination of dessert, mountains and ocean. We consider ourselves privileged that Neha & Pavv chosen DotDusk to be a part of their celebrations.
The mehendi party was held in the garden of the resort next to the beach.
The decor complimented Neha's lehenga beautifully through the use of vibrant colours and beautiful draped canopies.
While Neha looked gorgeous in the multicolored lehenga from Anita Dongre's Love Notes collection, Pawan chose a handsome pink and white waistcoat with a kurta and pants by Raghavendra Rathore.
In the Bride's Words: How They Met
Pavv and I have known each other for over a decade (my cousin and maid of honor introduced us). We never paid much attention to each other until 3 years ago when we met at a party and Pavv called me up the next day to ask me out on a dinner date.
I didn't want to go initially but Pavv had coincidentally booked my favorite Italian restaurant and I decided to go mostly just for the food. 20 mins into our dinner however, I knew we were on to something here. 10 days later I recall one of my close friends asking me how things were going and I very casually said to her, "All I can say is, I'm going to marry Pawan some day". Three years later here we are.
That same evening, the couple held a sangeet in the ballroom of the Shangri-La.
Neha wore a gorgeous maroon and gold lehenga by Arpita Mehta, complimented by diamond jewellery. Pawan wore a navy blue waistcoat and trousers by Troy Costa.
In the Bride's Words: The Proposal
Pavv proposed on January 2016. We were out for sunset drinks at the Jetty Lounge, at One & Only Royal Mirage hotel in Dubai. As we were walking down the pier, he stopped and went down on his knees and said, "Since the moment I asked what your story was at dinner, you've been completing all my sentences. Will you do me the honor of completing all my sentences for the rest of our lives?"
I was really overwhelmed; it was definitely one of the best moments of my life. Pavv had an incognito photographer at the pier who took a picture of us as he went down on his knees. I'm lucky enough to have the real moment captured on camera and I had no clue!
The wedding day arrives and as the afternoon sets in, the couple begins to get ready to take their pheras and become husband and wife.
What the Bride Wore
With makeup and hair done by re-knowned artist Natasha Moor, Neha looks stunning in a coral lehenga designed for her by Koecsh. The design on the lehenga is inspired by the bride's grandmother's vintage jewellery set.
What the Groom Wore
Pawan chose a handsome cream threadwork sherwani by Sabyasachi for the big day. He looked regal as he arrived to the wedding with his turban tied in a way that is traditional to the Oman region.
In the Bride's Words: Choosing a Wedding Location
We were certain we wanted a very small and intimate wedding. Since we've both grown up in Dubai, we were skeptical of having the wedding here as it would've turned into a very large affair. Our choice was a combination of two factors – firstly, the Shangri-la resort in Oman is one of the most beautiful properties we've ever seen. Secondly, we wanted to prioritize on our guests' comfort levels.
In the Bride's Words: Wedding Decor
I wanted a very simple standalone mandap in a pastel color on the beach side. This was my favorite event in terms of décor and simplicity. We set up church seating for the chairs as I wanted to walk down the aisle with my brother like brides do in traditional church weddings.
That evening, after the couple married, they held their wedding reception at the ballroom of the resort. Opting for a 'Winter Wonderland' theme, the decor looked gorgeous in white with tones of blue.
Neha chose a contemporary light blue gown designed by Koecsh for the reception, and Pawan wore a black tuxedo. They looked stunning walking in together to celebrate their marriage with their family and friends.
A beautiful couple, Neha and Pawan were able to the plan the wedding of their dreams while keeping with their vision of it being intimate, simple and beautiful at the same time.

PM taken off ventilator, talks to his familyJanuary 25th, 2009 - 4:13 pm ICT by ANI
New Delhi (ANI): Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh, was taken off ventilator support on Sunday morning, and according to a health update, spoke with members of his family.
"Prime Minister Singh spent an uneventful night following the surgery. He talked to his family this morning. The doctors attending on him say that he is stable, comfortable and is making rapid progress," a PMO statement said.
The Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission, Dr. Montek Singh Ahluwalia, also called on him to enquire about his well-being.
Earlier, Dr Ramakant Panda, a specialist of Mumbai''s Asian Heart Institute, who led the team of doctors during the surgery, informed that he is conscious and "doing fine" now.
He further said that the Prime Minister would need to be in the ICCU for about three days followed by a minimum of four days of hospitalisation.
Singh is expected to resume some part of his duties within two weeks but it will take six weeks for him to recover fully.
According to AIIMS cardio thoracic centre chief Dr Sampath Kumar, the Prime Minister simply said, "I am ready" to doctors before being wheeled into the operation theatre at 6.40 am. The surgery began at 8.45 am and the he was moved to the ICCU at 8.55pm after receiving five bypasses.
Singh''s personal physician Dr. K S Reddy described him as a "tranquil, calm and composed" person.
The bypass procedure took time as the Prime Minister''s old grafts had got clogged again.
He has earlier faced cardiac bypass surgery in 1990 and an angioplasty in 2004.
Dr Sampath Kumar said, "One reason why the Prime Minister opted for an immediate surgery was he wanted to be ready and fully active well before the elections."
Dr. Manmohan Singh was admitted in the All India Institute for Medical Sciences (AIIMS) on Saturday, where an angiography-X-ray examination of the blood vessels was conducted on him. He also underwent several blood chemistry tests, CT scan and ECG, which have affirmed arterial blockages in the heart. (ANI)

Chuck Meek
Wheaton, IL, USA
I launched Atticus Bailey in 2002 as a retained executive search firm, serving family owned businesses by bringing non-family talent onboard to augment and complement the family team. Today, my business model is no longer limited to headhunting. I serve owners and their leadership teams with innovative, simple models that describe how the business should work, leveraging key lieutenants and thought leaders to create strategies for sustainable growth.
I focus on private middle market companies and actively collaborate with other trusted advisors who serve them from complementary perspectives – such as business valuation, strategic planning, business development, banking, accounting, risk management, legal and many others.
My colleagues appreciate my diverse background and perspective as a sounding board for private business owners. I earned my A.B. degree in Russian Studies & Language from the University of Chicago in 1984. I then served as a Naval officer from homeports in the United States and Japan until the end of the Cold War, at which point I returned to Chicago and earned an MBA in Finance in 1992, again from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business (now the Booth School of Business). I still maintain close ties to the University.
During the '90s, I spent several years in industrial sales and marketing at Emerson Electric before joining the Global Industrial Practice of Heidrick and Struggles, an international executive search firm. It was there I learned the best practices of retained executive recruiting.
A few things I'd like you to know about me:
- I am Collaborative: I work seamlessly with clients' advisors from complementary perspectives to create and implement comprehensive, sustainable growth and succession strategies.
- I seek out and surround myself with others who know more than I do.
- I take responsibility to act, and keep it regardless of outcome.
I give back to my community in ways that center on my concern for Affordable Housing and Homelessness: I have volunteered with and/or served as a board director for numerous community-focused organizations, including the Peoples' Resource Center, The City of Wheaton Housing Commission, the Franciscan Services Housing Ministry, and Public Action to Deliver Shelter – P.A.D.S.
Questions? I'd be honored to hear from you:

ANOTHER SAUDI MASSACER: Chopper slaughters civilians on-board refugee boat destined for Sudan, 42 killed
A Saudi Apache Helicopter reportedly struck a Somalian refugee boat traveling from Yemen's coastal waters to Sudan on Friday, killing at least 42 civilians in the process.
The attack was reported off the Bab Al-Mandeb Strait, which is located along Yemen's western coast.
At least 80 refugees carrying papers from the UN's refugee agency (UNHCR) were rescued off the coast of Yemen today.
The Saudi Ministry of Defense has not commented on this latest attack; however, human rights groups have already begun issuing statements condemning the Kingdom's actions on Friday.
Saudi warplanes have a history of striking refugees in Yemen, including a brutal attack on the Al-Mazraq Camp inside the city of Harad in March 2015.
