First-Of-Its-Kind Partnership Between Major Cloud Service Providers Helps Tech Giants Create Connective Defense System Against Fraudsters
TruSTAR, a leader in cyber intelligence management, has announced a new partnership with IBM and Rackspace to create the Cloud Fraud Exchange, a unique intelligence sharing initiative designed to make it harder for fraudsters to replicate attacks across different cloud service providers. Initial findings from this partnership were presented by TruSTAR, Rackspace, and IBM at the Messaging Malware Mobile Anti-Abuse Working Group's (M3AAWG) 44th general meeting in Brooklyn, New York on October 10.
The Cloud Fraud Exchange is unique because it brings together the largest cloud service providers in the country to address the growing threats of fraud and abuse attacks. Typically, an intelligence sharing partnership of this kind is only conceived via government-sanctioned Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs) or Information Sharing and Analysis Organizations (ISAOs), non-profit organizations that act as a central resource for gathering information on cyber threats and provide a two-way channel for sharing of information. It's unusual for companies that compete with each other to share fraud data in a real-time manner due to concerns about reputational risk to their brands. TruSTAR gives Cloud Fraud Exchange companies data sovereignty through the intelligence platform's Enclave architecture, which uses advanced auto-redaction, data normalization, and security controls to safely enable intelligence exchange.

The purpose of the Cloud Fraud Exchange is to prevent cyber criminals from setting up fraudulent accounts on multiple cloud platforms. Servers hosted via the cloud are the main vehicles fraudsters use to target end-user victims. Fraudsters weaponize cloud resources like infrastructure-as-a-service and AI networks to launch DDOS and phishing attacks. Compromised cloud servers also help obscure the location of bad actors.
"Rackspace and IBM have made the commitment to securely exchange fraud event data via TruSTAR because the reward of sharing outweighs the risk. This exchange is helping these giant cloud providers identify fraudsters faster and reduce response time, translating to millions of dollars saved over time," said Paul Kurtz, co-founder and CEO of TruSTAR.

"We're making it way more expensive for the bad guys to run scams. Now fraudsters have to create entirely new identities, IP addresses, and tactics when they get shut down by one major cloud provider because there's an alliance of people reporting on them," said Chris Godfrey, Fraud Intelligence Lead at TruSTAR.
The Cloud Fraud Exchange has been active since March 2018 and has already facilitated the exchange of tens of thousands of IPs, yielding significant correlations between participants and demonstrating the potential savings of several million dollars in mitigated risk. The group is making plans to expand the types of indicators being shared from just IPs to other indicators like email addresses and device fingerprints. The group expects the correlations across companies will continue to grow and translate to even more savings. Other major cloud service providers are expected to join the Cloud Fraud Exchange in the coming financial quarters.

B.C.'s anti-gang unit raids Campbell River biker club in homicide investigation
Mixed martial artists John Dillon Brown killed last March in targeted homicide
B.C.'s anti-gang police unit raided a Campbell River motorcycle clubhouse Thursday morning as part of its investigation into the homicide last year of a Saanich mixed martial arts fighter.
The Combined Forces Special Enforcement unit says it will remain on the scene at the Devils Army Outlaw Motorcycle Gang Clubhouse for several days gathering evidence relating to the discovery of John Dillon Brown's body in March of last year.
The clubhouse is located at 70 Petersen Road in Campbell River. Police say the Devil's Army is a "one per cent" outlaw motorcycle support club for the Haney Hells Angels chapter and currently has five full-patch members.
The term "one per cent" was coined after the American Motorcycle Association famously said 99 per cent of its members were law abiding citizens, implying the remaining one per cent were outlaws.
Dillon Brown, 30, was found dead inside his grey Honda Accord near a Sayward bridge, about 75 kilometres outside of Campbell River on the evening of Mar. 12, 2016.
He was a father of four children, two of whom were born after he was killed.
He was last seen alive in Campbell River on Mar. 11 at around 1 p.m.
Police say his homicide was targeted.
They say they believe there are still members of the community who may have informaton on his death and are asking anyone who may know something to come forward.

Since some weeks ago, Samsung rumored to presence some tablets in Galaxy Tab 3 Plus lineup including SM-P900 (3G version), SM-P901 (Wi-Fi only version), and SM-P905 (LTE version). The information obtained from user agent profiles of official Samsung website confirms that Galaxy Tab 3 Plus will be equipped with high resolution display, 2560 x 1600 pixels.
A new proof shows that Galaxy Tab 3 Plus is not a 10.1-inch tablet like current biggest Galaxy Tab, but it will have a 12.2-inch display. A database form India import/export shows that SM-P905 will be equipped with a 12.2-inch 2560 x 1600 pixels display, converting to 247 ppi pixel density. The pixel density is still under Apple iPad Retina (9.7-inch, 2048 x 1536 pixels, 264 ppi). However, 247 ppi is not bad for a tablet.
Most likely it will be announced at IFA 2013 in Berlin in the late of August together with Galaxy Note III.

Do you already have a costume for the Halloween party? Or do plan to decide on the spur of the moment how to best scare your friends? Either way, with us you can definitely find the right materials and ingredients to make your spooky performance perfect
Halloween is actually an American tradition. In recent years, however, Halloween parties have become so established elsewhere that it's hard to imagine late October without them – because after all, they are perfect for all of those who can't wait for Carnival or Fasching.
Halloween, by the way, has its ancient origin in Ireland. The name evolved from "All Hallows' Eve", or the evening before All Saints' Day. Irish immigrants brought the holiday across the Atlantic to America, and it has become a part of American culture.
In Germany, too, Halloween is becoming steadily more popular. In many windows, one can now see "jack-o-lanterns", the traditional scooped-out pumpkins with faces which can be anything from funny to scary. Children in disguise go from door to door, to either receive sweets or to play a trick on the residents.
Are you getting jealous of your younger siblings, because it's so easy for them to collect sweets around the neighborhood? Then it's time to get started with your plans for a Halloween Party.
No Halloween Party Without Costumes
One of the most important things at your Halloween Party, of course, is your costume. And since this night is all about witches, ghosts, and every other creature of darkness, a spooky outfit is especially appropriate. But of course, you are also free to simply let your fantasy run wild, and put together a crazy or funny outfit. And with the right accessories from our shop that will be no problem.
Fake Blood: Just Right for Vampires and Others Too
You're going to disguise yourself as a vampire, zombie, or some other creature of the night? Then of course you will need a substantial portion of blood! Our Fake Blood Gel, which has already been used in movies and on the stage, is incredibly realistic. It lets you simulate bites, wounds, and cuts just the way you imagine them. And the consistency is gruesomely convincing.
You want even more bloody details? Then you need the Fake Blood Make-Up Stick! You can use it to make your wounds and bites look even more real. The stick is available in two colors. When you mix both shades, you get simulated fresh blood, dried blood, or any other kind of blood. Sound gruesome? It looks gruesome too!
And if that's still not enough, then check out our Fake Fake Blood Lipstick. It will give you bloody red sexy lips, which will be a perfect complement to your vampire costume.
Still more accessories for your costume
To get the right hair color quickly and easily, our UV Haarkreide /our UV Hair Chalk is the right choice. You can use it to apply the color which best fits the costume. The Hair Chalk comes in six colors. The right one for your style is sure to be included.
You can get even more color with accessories such as passende Nagellack /matching nail polish, our UV Glitzer Eyeliner /UV Glitter Eyeliner and our UV Neon Lipgloss /UV Neon Lip Gloss.
The right accessories for the Halloween Party: so that your appearance at the party is a complete success, look through the wide range of other accessories in our shop. For example, how about our Buntes Feuer / Multicolored Fire? You simply throw it into a campfire or fireplace, and for the next thirty minutes the flames change color. Blue, green and red flames are guaranteed to fascinate your guests.

Top 5 Rookie Running Backs That Will See Touches
Author: Joshua Black @ff_jblack
We would all like to get lucky and draft a Barkley or Zeke whether it's a redraft or dynasty. Players like them make it clear cut that they will be a starter out the gate. Now we all don't live in a prefect world, and we need some luck looking at rookies. Every year some of the mid to late round running backs do end up getting on the field to show case what they can do. Now this is also due to injury or the team is just getting beat so bad that the coaches are trying to see what they got. In this article, I will go over my top 5 running backs that have the best chance to see some touches.
Now here at the fifth spot I've decided to go with Alexander Mattison over Darrell Henderson and here is why. Yes, I am aware that Cook is the number one on the Vikings, but everyone needs a break right. In a Dec. 2018 a news story from the NFL reported that the Vikings had come out and said they want to run the ball more. Now this will really open the back field up for Mattison to make his way onto the field to give Cook a break. Another reason I picked Mattison over Henderson is because Cooks injury history. Each year that Cook has been in the league, he has had trouble staying healthy for a full season, so the injury bug could strike again leaving the door open for Mattison.
Here at the forth spot we have Damien Harris from the University of
Alabama. (Spoiler alert going be another) This 5ft 10, 214 pound is a picture-perfect bruiser. I will be the first to admit that he will take over Rex Burkhead's role in the Patriots back field. Not only will he take the goal line touches, but he was used as a 3rd down check down in college. This kid will overtime most likely phase James White out of the back field as well. We all know Tom Brady wants to play till he can't no more, so it makes perfect since to get a good running back committee that will pick up the 1st downs for you. Keep your eye on this guy, because the Patriots just may have ended up with the biggest steal of the 2019 draft.
Miles Sanders checks in at the 3rd spot on my list. Sanders had every opportunity to leave Penn State a few years back once he got beat out by Saquon Barkley, but he decided to stay put and learn from it. This kid only had one full season with the team, but he put up monster numbers for that year. He had 220 att, 1,274 rushing yards, and 9 TDs! He also did some damage in the receiving as well. With Sanders going to the Eagles, He will phase out this weird running back committee that has formed over the past 2 years. If you have Josh Adams or Wendell Smallwood, it's time to dump them or trade them for any value you may can get. Doug Peterson does like a two running back system, and with the Eagles trading for Jordan Howard, this will be the Howard and Sanders show.
Now for the most debated part of the article. I know your thinking this is some kind of joke, but no David Montgomery comes in at number two on my list. David was the 4th running back taken off the 2019 rookie draft. Some other people are already predicting Montgomery to be apart of the 2019 All-Rookie Team. He has the HYPE! I understand that but the two things that stands in his way from being the top guy on this list is Mike Davis and Tarik Cohen. Cohen is no doubt the pass catching back for the Bears, and the Bears paid Davis a two year six-million-dollar contract. Now Montgomery has every chance to take the job from Davis that I understand, but unless his pass catching gets better, he will be spilt touches with Cohen.
So, you may have guessed this one by now. Josh Jacobs is my number one running back that will see touches in 2019. The main reason being he was the only running back drafted in the first round of the 2019 draft. Marshawn Lynch announced his retirement just days before the draft. This news bolted the Raiders to pick up Jacobs with one of the three 1st round picks they had. Jacobs was behind his teammate Harris on the Alabama depth chart, but he managed to prove his worth during his time on the field. Jacobs was able to show off his speed and quickness at Alabama by tallying up over 2,000 yards from scrimmage along with 21 touchdowns. This guy will be the centerpiece of the Raiders offense, so they can get back to where they were a few years ago. The only real threat Josh Jacobs has is Antonio Brown but come on they can't just pass the ball on every down. I am projecting big things for Jacobs! Most redraft leagues have him going around the 5th round, so yeah add that to another reason why I put him first on my list. As I said earlier, injury can make any rookie start early so only time will tell.

Well done.

Question from Tara
I was wondering if you will be writing more pern books?? I've read sky dragons and would love to read some more 🙂
Thank you
Hi Tara,
Yup, I plan to!
However, between Mum and myself, we've written eight books on Pern either in collaboration or with me writing solo.
Just before she passed away, we decided it would be a good idea to take a break.
Mum's Will provides for two people to write on Pern: me and my sister.
We figured it was time to give her a shot and she's busy working on her first Pern novel.
She's under no pressure: she just has to write a best-selling novel that will please all fans. (Nope, no pressure at all!)
In the meantime I've got two more novels coming out from WordFire Press, both not on Pern — City of Angels and The Jupiter Game.
If you're desperate for "a hit" of dragons, I've got a short story in Women In Practical Armor with a shape-shifting dragon which explains dragon rage and gold hording — questions you always wanted answered, didn't you? 🙂
I've also got not just one but two short stories in the charity anthology, One Horn to Rule Them All: A Purple Unicorn anthology, dealing with Elves and changelings.
I hope that helps!

December 31st, 2012. How on earth is it possible that this year has already come to an end?
Much like last year, 2012 was long, short, crazy, and interesting. As well as exciting, momentous, incredible, and the best year of my life thus far. In my post last year, I said, "I have a feeling that I'll grow next year just as much as I have this one.", and I most definitely did. I experienced pure happiness this year. More so than ever before. And I have never been more content in my life, so if that's what makes my 2012 so great, then so be it.
2012 was the year I turned sixteen, and the year I took a trip to both New York and California. It was the year I started 11th grade. The year I got a little more confident in my writing, and the year that held a summer so great that I can still taste it four months later. 2012 was also the first full year that I have entirely documented through blog posts, writing, and photos. And nothing makes me happier than knowing that all of the little memories from one of the best years of my life are stowed away for safe-keeping -- there when I need them.
As much as I loved 2012, I am so excited to see what 2013 has to offer. I'm starting a new project, as of tomorrow, to write in my journal and take a photo every single day this year, and I can't wait to see where it goes!
13 things to do in 2013:
01. Fill a journal.
02. Go somewhere new.
03. Meet a new friend.
04. Go on a road trip.
05. Go for a sunrise swim.
06. Read a minimum of 52 books.
07. Go to Tofino.
08. Meet a blog friend.
09. Knit a blanket.
10. Take a trip.
11. Go camping.
12. Wake up early to see a sunrise.
13. Watch a sunset from Sugarloaf.
2012 was incredible, but I dare 2013 to be even better. Happy New Year, friends.

Useful VS 2008 addons
When I started to work with Eclipse a while ago, after years of working with Visual Studio and Netbeans, it took me some time to get use to work with it. Now that I'm back to Visual Studio, I found that I miss several features I had when I worked with Eclipse. Features that I miss can be categorized as follows:
- Text Editor - e.g. handle string value when entering a line break, etc.
- Navigation - sync the project tree with the source I edit, easily navigate between types and resources, and much more...
- Refactoring - meaning advanced refactoring - other than the basic default refactoring options given by the default installation of VS 2008.
Some of these features (if not all) exist in Netbeans.
Visual Studio 2010 was improved so it supports some of these features. It is expected to be released in Q1 2010. In the meanwhile, here are some add-ons for VS 2008 I installed to ease the pain ;-)
- Power Commands
- Source Code Outliner Power Toy
- File Finder
- Go to Def - for VS 2010 only.

Digital Citizenship runs through all that we do. We have revisited some of these ideas with the Technologies Student Council Group who will be helping to run some sessions next week.
Students at Worser Bay School co-constructed this technologies agreement. We have all taken it home, discussed with parents and signed it. It is important that we revisit this often and continue to discuss...
WBS Acceptable Use of Technologies 2018
My School Values:
The same values apply when I am online and when using the school's technologies.
Some ways in which I can show what this looks like when using school technologies include:
· I make sure that there is an adult in the room when online
· I report anything to an adult that makes me feel uncomfortable
· I look after my body and mind
· I make comments in a positive, friendly way
· I use manners
· I support others in their learning
· I take turns when sharing technology
· I treat all technologies with respect and care
· I use technology as a learning tool, not as a toy
I have read and understood this and I have shared with my parents

Men using flesh lightPosted on February 8th, 2011 by admin
A couple years back, Temptations had been the hot stop for my female sexuality class. In Roxys mind, Canada and sex have always been two separate ideas never to be combined for any reason. The wrong tools get used all the time. Well, I have good men using flesh light news for you. They are still solid Men using flesh light products and Im still keeping mine in the rotation. I guess my only real concern would be getting it delivered. The device replaced the manual labour of physicians who relieved patients symptoms with genital massage until the woman reached orgasm, or hysterical paroxysm. The material just facilitates the fantasy. Its better than the real thing in the sense that theres no performance anxiety. The ribs jutting out below the head of the soft interior actually bend at the men using flesh light same time, turning it, and nearly doing a complete corkscrew to put it back into the flashlight. One Thursday night, after coming home to a trashed apartment, and a note that said he wouldnt be back men using flesh light until Monday, we had enough. Nevertheless, you could be doing more than pleasing yourself when you have a whack attack you could be part of a global movement for harmony. These days, women who charge some toy dash retain their Jack Rabbits. More of that our customers will get the highest quality masturbation sleeve ever made. There is a cap on the bottom, Men using flesh light which you can adjust to assist plain suction and collect your sperm after you cum. If you need to let off some steam, you just let off a load. From a distance its a flashlight, though not a wimpy household flashlight, but one of the much larger ones men using flesh light used for havery deep spelunking. But the tool got relegated to the underground once it started showing up in pornography from the 1940s on.

April 5, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
28th July 2011
Yet the results prompted public outrage, says the Guardian, as the results come just weeks after announcing a price hike. The price rise comes at a time when household incomes are becoming increasingly squeezed by high inflation and muted wage growth.
The results include a 54% fall in operating profits at its residential energy division, British Gas, to £270m.
British Gas says higher wholesale gas prices are responsible for the fall in profits. The news comes as the firm prepares to raise gas prices by 18% and electricity prices by 16% in August.
The increase will push up the average bill for around nine million customers by £190 a year, reports the BBC.
The FTSE 100-listed company said British Gas profits were made in the first quarter of the year – with energy being sold at a loss since April.
Centrica said without the pending price rise in August, it would make a loss in the second half of the year.
However, British Gas did record an increase in customers in the period – up 159,000 to 16.1 million accounts, reports the Guardian.

text: "Communication is a key issue in the collaboration of designers and social science researchers. Several differences between designers and researchers in method and approach of problems seem to account for communication problems between the two groups. Researchers and designers seem to differ on: point of view (behavior vs. environments); method (analytical vs. synthetical); presentation (words vs. images); pattern of values (theoretical vs. ideological) and role conception (advisor vs. integrator) (van Andel, 1988). In their review of the transfer of (technical) information to designers and architects Lera, Cooper, and Powell (1984) mention the need for well-structured, relevant, and well-presented information. But they doubt if the presentation and organization of the information are the essential elements of successful information transfer. "They may be essential but they are not sufficient. It is necessary to stress that decisions are rather complex, emotionally demanding human processes, not just individualized intellectual analyses" (op. cit., p. 119). Newland, Powell, and Creed (1987) focus on the effect of learning styles, perception, and cultural biases on information transfer. These factors cause individual differences in the communication with architectural designers. "

Niels Bohr Archive: Annual Report 2001
Board of directors:
General remarks
The Niels Bohr Archive (NBA) is a repository of primary material for the history of modern physics, pertaining in particular to the early development of quantum mechanics and the life and career of Niels Bohr. Although the NBA has existed since shortly after Bohr's death in 1962, its future was only secured at the centennial of Bohr's birth in 1985, when a deed of gift from Bohr's wife, Margrethe, provided the opportunity to establish the NBA as an independent not-for-profit institution. Since 1985, the NBA has had its own board of directors and has received a fixed annual sum for running expenses from the Danish Ministry of Education (1985-1998 and 2000-2001), the Ministry of Research (1998-2000) and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Development (from 2001); it has also made ample use of its privilege to apply for project support from private sources.
The core of the collections comprises Bohr's scientific correspondence (6000 letters and drafts) and manuscripts (500 units). This material was catalogued and microfilmed in the early 1960s as part of the Archive for History of Quantum Physics (AHQP), a project sponsored by the American Philosophical Society and the American Physical Society. The outcome was 290 microfilms of various relevant historical material, which have been placed in several repositories world-wide, including the NBA.
In addition, the NBA houses several historical collections that cannot be consulted elsewhere. Thus, in 1985 the Bohr family donated the bulk of Bohr's private correspondence, which includes letters to and from central personalities in culture and politics inside and outside Denmark. The equally extensive "Bohr General Correspondence" documents Bohr's substantial administrative involvement.
Among papers of Bohr's closest colleagues deposited in the NBA, only the George Hevesy Scientific Correspondence has been microfilmed, but the papers of among others H.A. Kramers, Christian Mřller, Oskar Klein, and Léon Rosenfeld are also of great historical interest. Some papers of more recent origin - notably those of Niels Bohr's son, Aage Bohr, Niels Bohr's close collaborator, Stefan Rozental, and Danish solid state physicist Allan Mackintosh - have also been deposited. The large collection of photographs relating to Bohr's career is an especially popular resource. Finally, there are reprint, film, sound tape and video tape collections, as well as a growing library.
The NBA continues the publication - through Elsevier - of the Niels Bohr Collected Works, the first volume of which appeared in 1972. A complete list of the ten volumes published so far is posted on the NBA's website, www.nba.nbi.dk. Volume 11 (edited by Finn Aaserud and the only one remaining) will cover Bohr's activities outside science and philosophy, prominently including some of Bohr's previously unpublished writings on his idea of an "open world," developed during and after World War II.
In early 1999, upon consultation with the Research Ministry, the
NBA increased its special activities disseminating natural
science for the public, particularly gymnasium (high-school)
students (for details, see the website).
In 2001, the NBA's website has been improved considerably, and it continues to be developed. It now contains detailed information on most of the NBA's holdings and activities.
The organisation, conservation and registration of the papers of Aage Bohr and Allan Mackintosh - for which NBA has received support from Danish National Lottery (Tips/Lottomidler), as well as from the AIP Center for History of Physics - has been completed. In 2001, Aaserud began an extensive tape-recorded oral history interview with the Danish experimental physicist N.O. Lassen, who has worked with the Niels Bohr Institute's cyclotron from its completion in 1938 until its removal in 1994. The interview is the first of several projected oral history interviews with scientists connected with the Niels Bohr Institute.
The NBA's photograph collection can now be consulted on the Web and is becoming an ever more popular resource. In 2001, the photograph and other collections have been used extensively. In this connection the centenary of of the Nobel Prize (instituted in 1901) should be mentioned in particular, especially as regards the exhibition arranged by the Nobel Museum in Stockholm, which includes major exhibits on Niels Bohr and George Hevesy, using considerable film material and a collection of Hevesy's chemicals loaned from the NBA. Moreover, the NBA contributed substantially with artefacts and photographic material to the exhibition in Denmark celebrating the 13 Danish Nobel Prize winners, which was first shown at the Royal Library in Copenhagen, and has thereafter been moved to the Steno Museum, Aarhus.
Aaserud has taken part in the launching of an ambitious book project on the history of Danish natural science originating from the University of Aarhus, as well as in the planning of VIDEN NET (KNOWLEDGE NET) at the Copenhagen Business School. In May, he participated in a joint meeting in London between the Royal Society and the Royal Society of Literature, thus establishing contact with dramatists writing on subjects related to the history of science. On the same trip, Aaserud visited for the first time the National Cataloguing Unit for the Archives of Contemporary Scientists (NCUACS), located in Bath and led by Peter Harper.
In 2001, the NBA organised five events in its series of History of Science Seminars, with speakers from at home and abroad. Moreover, in September the NBA organised a successful two-day symposium, "Copenhagen and beyond: drama meets history of science". The papers and background material for the symposium continue to be entered on the NBA website.
The NBA continues to be visited by several researchers from all over the world.
As part of the public dissemination programme, the NBA has hosted or
co-hosted several lectures (for details, see the website) and
contributed to the well-attended NBI arrangement on the annual
Kulturnatten (Culture Night) in Copenhagen.

Driver Licence and Minimum Age
For the safety of our guests a current and full motor vehicle driver licence is required to be shown at pick-up and the driver needs to be present. If the driver licence is not in English then we require an accredited English translation or an International Driver Permit.
Drivers must be over the age of 21, have held a licence for at least two years and the licence must be valid for the entire booking duration.
It is important to select the correct country in which the drivers licence was issued to ensure correct rates are calculated.

Rate Exclusions
We're cooking with gas! A gas bottle is necessary for cooking in the RV. A full gas bottle(s) needs to be pre-purchased and can be returned empty to Cheapa at the completion of the road trip. Fee applies for each booking of a multiple rental.
Gas bottles for the compact RVs (Cheapa Hitop, Cheapa Endeavour, Cheapa Vivid, Cheapa 2 Berth) cost $25. Gas bottles for the 4 Berth and 6 Berth RVs cost $35.
Road User Charge Recovery Fee
The cost of using New Zealand's roads is recovered from road users via levies in the price of some fuels or through road user charges (RUC). The Road User Charge Recovery Fee will be calculated and collected on return of the RV based on the kilometres travelled during the hire. The fee per 100km is as follows:
Guests who love road trips as much as we do and travel for more than 21 days receive 5% off daily rates. This is also available to guests with multiple bookings that total 21 days or more.
Booking Alterations
We understand that sometimes plans change. If this is the case, any changes made to a booking will be calculated by using the higher one of two rates, either the original Flex Rate or the Flex Rate current at the time of booking alteration.
The following are considered as a booking alteration:
If the pick-up or drop-off location is altered within 14 days of pick up, a change of location fee may also apply.
Change to the Drop-Off Location after Pick-Up
If your guest changes their drop-off destination after pick-up, they should get in touch with our friendly Reservations team who will be happy to help. Our team will advise guests if the change is possible and the applicable fee at a minimum of $750.00. Subject to availability.
Extending a Road Trip
If your guest is having too much fun and wants to extend their booking whilst on the road, they should first contact our friendly Reservations team who will be happy to advise if the extension is possible, and the associated costs. To secure an extension, the extra costs (calculated on the current rate of the day), will need to be paid by credit card inclusive of all taxes and surcharges, either over the phone or at an Cheapa Campa Branch at the time of extension. Any long-term or early bird discounts in place will continue to apply to the booking.
We will always do our best to accommodate any extensions however it is subject to vehicle availability.
Change of RV
We understand guests' needs are different and therefore our RVs can be requested by category, however not by make or model. We always do our best to accommodate requests, however should the RV booked be unavailable due to unforeseen circumstances, we will substitute the booked RV with an alternative available RV at time of pick-up, at no extra cost. Any changes made to the booked RV and agreed to by the guest do not entitle the guest to a refund.
In the event of no alternative RV being available for the guest, Cheapa Campa's liability is limited to a refund of the hire charge or in the case of mechanical failure (unless caused by the guest), the remainder of the hire period.
Getting to and from the Airport
Branches are conveniently located near major airports and we offer complimentary airport transfers to make it even easier for our guests.
Cheapa Campe offers transfers free of charge with the Yellow Bus transfer service between Auckland Airport to our Auckland Branch. Guests will need to show their printed confirmation of their reservation to the driver. Bookings are not needed.
Free Christchurch transfers are with our own bus service which guests need to call the branch on arrival to arrange pick up once they have cleared customs.
Branch Hours and Public Holidays
Our branches are conveniently open 7 days a week;
RV Introduction and Show Through
On pick-up, our staff provide a thorough RV show through with all the necessary information guests need to know about the interior and exterior features of their RV. This ensures guests are comfortable and confident with their RV before they start their road trip.
To ensure guests have a thorough RV show through before starting their adventure, they will need to pick up their RV from the branch by 4pm.
Ferry Reservations
Ferry travel is required for guests moving between NZ's North and South Islands (and vice versa). Ferry reservations can be difficult to manage during high season. We recommend that a reservation is made for a 7.7m RV on the ferry, irrespective as to the size of the motorhome reserved, to avoid complications due to possible upgrades.
Booking Duration
An RV holiday allows guests to travel at their own pace. To ensure our guests get the most of their road trip a minimum five-day booking applies when pick-up and drop-off is from the same branch location. Higher minimum rental days apply for all brands as follows and are subject to change. Updates with minimum rental periods will be advised through Apollo Announcements.
One-way Bookings
Road trips don't always finish where they start, and some of the best adventures take you far and wide. If a guest drops off at a different branch location from which they picked up, a minimum booking period and $150.00 one-way fee applies.
Travel Restrictions
Not all RVs are suitable for all driving situations, so it's important the right RV is chosen for the travel planned. Apollo, at its discretion, may restrict RV travel in certain areas due to adverse road or weather conditions, and the distance to nominated destinations in relation to the length of the rental period. If applicable, any further restrictions will be mentioned at pick-up. Guests are encouraged to contact Apollo Assist on 0800 234 567 if they have any concerns regarding road accessibility.
For the safety of guests, the following travel restrictions are in place
Kilometres For the safety of guests please don't underestimate the time it will take to get from one point to another. While our RVs include unlimited kilometres, we recommend travelling a maximum of 300 kilometres per day or the equivalent of 4-5 hours driving. We encourage our guests to take a break from driving at least every 2 hours.
Returning the RV
The RV is a home away from home and for comfort, we recommend it's kept tidy throughout the road trip. The RVs need to be returned to the branch as they were taken, with the interior cleaned and holding tanks emptied. The RV exterior does not require cleaning unless it's covered with excessive dirt or mud, making it difficult for our team to see its return condition. Drop and Go is available to be pre-purchased or added on pick-up to offer quick and easy return.
We understand that while on holiday the RV may require small repairs. To avoid further disruptions to the road trip, if the damage was not caused by the guest, repairs up to $100 can be completed without authorisation and will be reimbursed. If repairs over $100 are needed, the Apollo Assist team should be informed prior to any repair being completed. Unauthorised repairs are not permitted.
All RVs are enrolled in the New Zealand Automobile Association and 24hr mechanical emergency roadside assistance is available if needed please contact Cheapa Campa Assist.
Infringements, Tolls and Fines
Cheapa Campa will pass on any charges the guest receives for traffic infringements, toll or parking fines during their road trip. For Toll Way fees received, Cheapa Campa reserves the right to charge to the guest's credit or debit card upon receiving the toll way fee, and an administration fee of $75 to cover associated administrative costs per toll way fee received.
Cheapa Campa offers guests the option of purchasing our Toll Package for $19 which gives guests a $30 'toll credit'. When travelling through toll ways the credit will be used up to the value of $30. Once $30 is exceeded, another toll package will be automatically charged to the guest's credit card. (a .75c registration matching fee applies within the $30 credit).
We believe fur friends can only make a road trip better. Service animals and pet dogs are allowed to travel in Cheapa Campa vehicles with written permission from Cheapa Campa and the time of booking. There is a $200.00 pet cleaning fee (excluding service animals). Our full policy can be viewed on the Cheapa Campa website.
Our RVs are a smoke free zone; hence smoking is not allowed in any of our RVs.
Payment at Branches
For security reasons, we accept credit card and debit card for charges paid on RV pick-up and drop-off. We do not accept cash at our branches. The Bond is payable at pick-up by credit card or debit card and cannot be paid with a pre-paid credit card.
Credit Cards
We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club and Union Pay. The following fees apply for the rental and any additional products (irrespective of chosen account e.g. savings, credit, etc.):
For peace of mind, we strongly recommend that all guests take out the highest level of private travel insurance.
Personal Injury
The RV has Third Party insurance cover and it is likely that any other vehicle involved in an accident also has Third Party insurance. Depending on the circumstances of an accident, the guest may be entitled to claim for their personal injury against the Third Party insurance of the party responsible for the accident. The extent of such third-party insurance varies in different States and Territories and Cheapa Campa strongly recommends that all passengers take out their own Personal Injury Travel Insurance.
Property Damage
The RV is insured for damage to it and damage to the property of a Third Party. However, the guest is responsible up to the amount of the applicable Liability for damage to third party property, or to the RV. The guest is also responsible for the cost of the daily rate for the period the vehicle is being repaired. There is no refund for unused portion of the rental period. The Liability applies to each claim, not RV.
The Liability is applicable regardless of who is at fault and must be paid at the time the accident is reported to Cheapa Campa by telephone on a credit card, not on return of the RV. Cheapa Campa reserves the right to charge the guest for any RV damage including Third Party property damage not reported but identified on return of the RV.
Liability Options
For peace of mind on the road we offer a range of Liability Options for guests. Guests can choose between the following options:
The Bond payment will depend on the Liability option chosen. If the guest chooses to take 'The Low Road' or 'The Middle Road' the total Bond will be debited to the credit or debit card immediately.
If the guest chooses to take 'The High Road' the Bond is payable to Cheapa Campa by an open signed credit card imprint with an authorisation for $250 / $500. The credit card holder must be present to sign for the Bond when they pick-up the RV and is liable for any damage to the RV.
The Bond is fully refundable provided terms are met. The RV simply needs to be returned on time and full of fuel and with the toilet cassette and grey water tank emptied to the Cheapa Campa branch location booked. Credit card refunds (including Bond refunds) can take up to 21 working days depending on the guest's financial institution.
If there is damage to the RV on its return or any other terms of the rental contract have not been met, the Bond will be used to cover the cost up to the amount of the relevant Liability. If the terms of the Rental Contract are not met and the Bond is not sufficient enough to cover the damage, extra costs will be charged.
If a guest is continuing on with another Cheapa Campa RV booking, the Bond can be transferred to the next booking within New Zealand.
Exchange Rate / Currency
Variations All transactions are conducted in New Zealand dollars. Due to exchange rate fluctuations, there could be some variance in the amount refunded compared to the amount initially charged. Refunds by credit card can take up to 21 working days depending on the guest's financial institution.
Value Pack
The Value Pack, is a bundled extra which provides the highest Liability Option and selected value-added products/services for a great road trip. The minimum amount payable per rental for Value Pack will be based on the minimum rental period applicable for the booking. The maximum amount payable is 50 days per rental segment.
Cancellation Terms
We understand that sometimes road trips may need to be cancelled. In case of cancellation, the below terms apply: The initial deposit paid is non-refundable. In addition to forfeiting your deposit, the following charges also apply:
There is no refund for late pick up or early return of vehicle.

Lessons I Learned Buying an Old House as My First House
Buying your first house can be exciting — and more than a little bit scary. That's especially true if you have been waiting to buy your own place and are finally ready to enter into the joy (and responsibility) of home ownership.
This fall, my partner and I decided to do just that. We did tons of research in an effort to find the best place to call home, from collecting mortgage pre-approval letters to going to open houses to interviewing realtors about how they could help us through the process as first-time homebuyers.
We had a specific idea about certain boxes we wanted the house to check. For instance, we knew we wanted the home to be a ranch or a one and a half story. We wanted an older house rather than new construction, though nothing built before 1900.
We ended up with a 1938 Spanish-style ranch we fell in love with on our first day looking at properties.
New and older homes present different joys and challenges. If you're debating about buying an older house, here are some points to consider.
1. Define "move-in ready"
It's very rare for older homes to align with that expectation, said Sally Zimmerman, an architectural historian and preservation planner for Historic New England, a non-profit historic preservation organization based in Boston.
She often gives advice to prospective or current owners of historic homes on how to approach their quirks and solve problems.
Some situations are more extreme than others. When photographers Susan and William Brinson bought their first home, built in New York's Hudson Valley sometime between 1802 and 1850, there were 200 bats living in the attic.
The inspector missed the bat problem and the couple was left dealing with the critters, which can't be exterminated because they're endangered, but also have toxic poop.
Susan Brinson wrote an informative post called "10 Things I Wish I Knew Before I Bought an Old House" on her blog, House of Brinson. She described the bat situation and other challenges she and her husband encountered with the purchase of their home.
Still, she would happily buy the house again, she said.
2. Character vs. convenience
Older houses are more likely to deliver on character, while new construction is often set up for folks who are seeking convenience. That said, these are loose rules with plenty of exceptions.
If you're looking at a house that's older, more elaborate or even more historically significant, you're probably going to have to balance your needs and desires against what the house is able to deliver, Zimmerman said.
"The older the house is, the more you should be willing to work with the house," she said. "Make sure the fit is reasonable for how you're willing to live."
For example, if you want a home with an open concept layout, you might be able to renovate a mid-century modern home to reflect that vision. Putting that same vision on a house that was built in the 1800s, however? For the most part, you're probably better off with something else.
Still, the joy of owning a home that's also a piece of a community's history is often immeasurable.
Susan Brinson had followed her home on online listings for three years before she toured it. She knew it was a perfect fit the first time she visited.
"It almost had a personality of its own," she said. "You can get a lot of bang for your buck" with older homes.
3. Call in the experts
Plan for many projects to require more time, research and expert opinions than you might need for a newer home.
That includes the inspection stage. Susan Brinson recommends having the house inspected by two separate home inspectors.
"They're human and they can easily miss things, " Brinson said. "Each old house is unique to a certain degree."
For instance, her inspector was so "completely gobstruck and amazed" by the house itself that they forgot to check the attic and missed the bat colony. Having two people check it out can help you avoid oversights like that.
It also pays to know each home inspector's background and to make certain they have experience with inspecting older homes.
Other inspection professionals that you might need to consult at this stage are a bug inspector, sewer line inspector and a structural engineer, if any structural issues show up on the inspection report, Susan Brinson said.
If you need to contract out major renovation projects at the house, get at least three bids, ideally before closing on the house. The "perception of value" that comes with many older houses often means contractors will inflate their quote on that basis alone, Susan Brinson said.
At our house, we have about 20 original windows. When we moved in, roughly half of them wouldn't open. Many had been painted shut or needed minor replacement hardware.
Locally, we had a hard time finding someone to work on them. Even companies that advertised working on old windows told us that replacement was the only option for windows that are more than 30 years old.
But after my partner posted an inquiry on the Nextdoor app, someone in our town referred us to a local window restoration professional who was able to get our windows to function better than we had imagined possible. The extra leg work paid off in the end.
4. Be realistic about your first house
Are you able to let go of perfectionism?
This is something I'm still working on. New or old, no house is perfect. Just like in all other aspects of our lives – school, relationships, work – perfectionism is a unhealthy standard and pursuing it is just going to leave us feeling frustrated, unhappy, disappointed and burned out.
Trying to work on too many home projects at once can also cause burnout. So, if you're planning to buy a house that you want to make a lot of major changes to, prioritize, prioritize, prioritize and pace yourself. Remember there's no rush.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (also known as SLE - Lupus Erythematosus) is an autoimmune disorder where antibodies are created against the body's own DNA.
The immune system becomes hyperactive and attacks normal tissue. In lupus, autoimmune attacks result in inflammation, which in turn brings about a variety of symptoms.
Like some other autoimmune diseases, it affects mostly women and its cause is unknown. It can present with a characteristic butterfly-shaped rash of the face, causing a wolf-like appearance (lupus is Latin for wolf).
Other symptoms include arthralgia (more often than frank arthritis), kidney damage (nephritis), blood coagulation problems (such as lupus anticoagulans), as well as effects on the central nervous system, lungs, heart and blood vessels.
Lupus is a chronic disease; there are some treatments for the symptoms, but no cure is known.

When it comes to delivering compelling and successful sales incentive programmes for some of the UK's favourite brands – or even household names who span the globe – FMI is often the first-choice partner.
Based in Chilton in Buckinghamshire, near London, FMI has developed a range of award-winning incentive programmes over the last decade, helping us become a leading sales incentives agency in the UK.
As well as competing with major global and London-based sales incentives agencies to create and deliver engaging, unique and successful sales incentives programmes that drive genuine results, we're also delivering programmes today that are delivering ROI at scale.
Our deep-rooted knowledge and extensive experience help us deliver stand out sales incentive programmes for our clients, including sales performance rewards schemes, sales team incentives, staff incentives, and brand ambassador programmes.
Think globally, act locally
Over our decade in business, we've devised and delivered sales incentives ideas for many brands, including Sony, LG and Huawei, proving how incentive campaigns really do drive sales teams' excitement, energy and results.
As well as conceptualising incentives campaigns in partnership with our clients, we devise and deliver the sales incentive programmes and the rewards to support them. Ranging from a small, simple token of appreciation to a one-off once-in-a-lifetime incentive travel experience, our team can help.
Critical to our collaborative approach is genuinely understanding the challenges and opportunities our clients face – thinking 'globally' about what we're aiming to achieve together and how our programmes fit into the bigger picture.
But then, delivering 'locally' – meaning we create and deliver sales incentives programmes that resonate on the ground and deliver the return on investment our clients demand and deserve.
Sales incentive ideas
Often, we are called upon when a client's current sales incentives programme is flagging or not delivering the returns it once was. We're the creative spark that has the sales incentives ideas that reignite these.
Often sales performance rewards need a touch of magic, something different, in order to deliver and our decades of experience means we've often been there and done that, so we know what works and what doesn't.
We don't just help our corporate clients communicate with their sales teams, we engage them and help them to deliver and become supercharged brand fans…
And when it comes to brand engagement, we've even written the book on it! If you want to download the first couple of chapters of the book you can click here.

Our opinion:-
The Milestone range is based on the best Selling Daytona Awning from previous years. A roomy Dome style awning using Duratec Fibreglass poles to give a rigid dome structure. The Milestone range uses Outwells Outtex 3000 Polyester fabric for the flysheet. The range still features Nice large tinted windows to reduce glare, help maintain a cooler temperature inside the awning and give UV protection. The Ground sheet if fully sewn-in and the awnings feature a full mesh front door for protection against bugs and help with ventilation.Like all Outwell driveaway awnings there is a link access groundsheet for the tunnel section with a valence to close the gap under the van. Please remember that like all driveaway awnings the tunnel section should only considered a sheltered entrance, as Unlike caravan awnings driveaway awnings have a front door and back door to create a weatherproof area.
A bedroom option is available across the range of Milestone awnings.
A well designed dome awning. We also liked the colourway, Blue making a pleasant change to the Silver/Grey that most manufacturer make.

What the manufacturer says:-
The Cruising Collection can be left freestanding to secure the site pitch on days out. . These traditional poled awnings easily attach to your campervan, motorhome or bus, and remain upright when you go for a drive. So you get all the benefits of a standalone tent with a waterproof passage to your vehicle. Made from durable Outtex 3000 material, the awnings come in a choice of sizes and styles to suit your needs. Optional inners let you create separate bedrooms.
The Outwell Milestone drive away awning offers value and convenience rolled into one. The poled tent frame gives you a large, roomy space with full height ceilings and large, tinted windows. The awning attaches to your vehicle near the roof, providing a waterproof link between the vehicle and the tent. The front can be fully opened into a canopy on sunny days, and you can add a bedroom with the optional inner.
