Fans of Neil Finn’s Crowded House days will recognize the beautiful melodies, while Liam Finn fans will appreciate his more experimental approach.

An outing that skillfully marries Neil’s insinuatingly catchy and melodic pop-rock with the more expansive and experimental jam-rooted music Liam has specialized in on several solo albums he’s released over the last decade. 

There have been a few father-son dynasties of note in rock, but not many who have actually made an album together as equals. A new entry into those rare annals is arriving in the form of Neil and Liam Finn's debut as a duo.



classic rock morphs with pop melodies on Back to Life, it almost sounds like stripped-down Arctic Monkeys.
This is Where He Was Born.

consumers guarantee act

What it covers

The act covers goods (new and second-hand) and services ordinarily purchased for personal, domestic or household use. “Goods” include pretty much everything in and around the home – from appliances to vehicles, furniture to food. Gas, electricity, water and computer software are also covered.

“Services” include things done by tradespeople such as plumbers and painters, professionals such as dentists and lawyers, after-sales and repair services from shops, and all the services you get from insurers, petrol stations and travel agents. In general, if you pay for it, it’s covered.

The act also applies to goods you hire and to gifts. If you’re given something, you have the same rights as if you bought it yourself, and can seek redress directly for any problem.

What it doesn’t cover

The act only applies if you buy goods or services from sellers “in trade”.

This means it does not cover private sales. However, it does cover goods sold in second-hand shops, and goods sold over the internet by businesses trading here.

The act does not cover the purchase of homes, although it does cover home repairs. Nor does it cover goods or services usually bought for commercial use, such as medical equipment or the installation of industrial machinery.

Sellers can’t contract out

Sellers cannot exempt themselves from their obligations under the act, even if they put it in a contract. So, if a retailer puts up a sign saying “no refunds or exchanges” it is meaningless. You still have full rights under the act.

This also means guarantees and warranties cannot state “no consequential losses are covered”, because attempts to contract out of the act may mislead consumers about their rights.

The Commerce Commission may use the Fair Trading Act to prosecute traders attempting to contract out of the act.

Sellers can only contract out of the act when goods are used for business. When a product is ordinarily purchased for domestic use but is used for business purposes – such as a mobile phone – the act will allow a seller to contract out. Any contracting out must be done in writing at the point of sale.

The guarantees

Under the act, your consumer rights are expressed as a series of “guarantees” a seller automatically makes to you when you buy any good or service ordinarily purchased for personal use.

Goods

Retailers and other suppliers guarantee their goods will:

• Be of acceptable quality.
• Be fit for a particular purpose that you asked about.
• Match the description given in advertisements or sales brochures, or by the sales assistant.
• Match the sample or demonstration model.
• Be owned by the consumer, once purchased.
• Be a reasonable price, if no price or pricing formula has been previously agreed.
• Be delivered on time, where the supplier is responsible for delivery. When no time is agreed, delivery must still be within a reasonable time.

Manufacturers (the definition includes importers) in New Zealand guarantee that:

• Spare parts and repair facilities will be available for a reasonable time.
• They will honour any written warranty that comes with their products.
• Goods are of acceptable quality.
• Goods match their description.

Acceptable quality means goods:

• Do what they are made to do.
• Are acceptable in appearance and finish.
• Are free from minor defects.
• Are safe and durable.

The act’s terms “reasonable” and “acceptable” are deliberately open-ended.

It depends on what a reasonable consumer would think was acceptable based on the nature of the goods, the price, any statements that have been made about the goods, and the nature of the supplier and context in which the goods are supplied. A concert violin is required to meet a higher standard than a child’s cheap instrument. Ultimately a tribunal referee or a judge may have to decide what is reasonable or acceptable in the circumstances.

If a defect was pointed out to you before you bought the good, then it doesn’t count towards making it unacceptable.

Putting it right

If something goes wrong, you have the right to insist the seller fixes things.

Generally speaking, this means the retailer that sold you the goods or services must sort out the problem. If the stitching comes apart on your fairly new shoes, you don’t have to track down the manufacturer or importer, you simply take them back to the shop.

If the problem is minor, and can be fixed, the retailer can choose to either repair the item, replace it or give you a refund.

If the problem can’t be fixed, or can’t be put right within a reasonable time, or is substantial, you can:

• Reject the product and choose a replacement of the same type and similar value or a full refund of your purchase price; or
• Claim compensation for any drop in the value of the product or service.
• Cancel the service contract, pay for any satisfactory work already done, and get someone else to finish the repairs; or
• Have it repaired elsewhere and recover the costs from the retailer, if it refuses to fix a faulty product, or fails to do so in a reasonable time.

When you have the right to reject the goods, sellers cannot just offer a credit note. If you want a refund, you are entitled to it – by cash, cheque or credit card charge reversal.

Substantial means:

• A reasonable consumer wouldn’t have bought the goods if they’d known about the fault.
• The goods are significantly different from their description, sample or demonstration model.
• The goods are substantially unfit for purpose.
• The goods are unsafe.

Consequential loss

In addition to these rights, consumers may also claim for any reasonably foreseeable extra loss that results from the initial problem.

If your new washing machine won’t work properly you can claim for laundry costs or the cost of hiring a replacement machine while the first one is being fixed.

If you have to post or courier goods back to be repaired, you don’t have to pay for those costs.

The compensation for consequential loss must put you back in the position you would have been in if the goods or service hadn’t been faulty.

Replacement models are covered

When a faulty product is replaced, any manufacturer’s warranty on the product usually runs only from the original purchase date.

So, if a 6-month-old washing machine is replaced because it is faulty, and there was originally a 12-month manufacturer’s warranty on it, then this warranty will have 6 months to run on the new machine.

However, the Consumer Guarantees Act applies to the replacement, so you will still have all the rights you’re entitled to when buying a new machine.

When to complain to manufacturers and importers

If there is a problem with the retailer, you can complain to the manufacturer (if it has an office in New Zealand) or where the goods are imported, to the importer or distributor.

Where there has been a breach of the act, manufacturers and importers are obliged to:

• Pay compensation, and/or pay for any loss in value; and
• Honour any express warranty they gave that gives the consumer greater protection than the act.

Complaining to the manufacturer is useful when, for example, the retailer has gone out of business or is proving hopeless to deal with. But in most cases, it will be easier to insist on your rights directly with the retailer.

If a product has parts made by different manufacturers, you can claim against any or all of them. However, in practice your best bet may be to contact the one whose name is on the product.

Don’t be tempted by extended warranties

If you’re buying a home appliance and the retailer offers you an extended warranty, don’t bother.

You’d probably be paying for protection you’re already entitled to under consumer law, your home and contents insurance, or the manufacturer’s warranty. In some cases, the extended warranty offers less cover than you’re entitled to under the law.

Our report on extended warranties explains the pitfalls.

One day a Maori chief, Mataora, was visited by young people from Rarohenga (the underworld). With them was the daughter of the underworld ruler Uetonga. Her name was Niwareka and Mataora fell in love with her. They got married and were happy together until one day Mataora became jealous of Niwareka and was angry enough to hit her. So she returned home to the underworld. Mataora, grieving over his actions, followed her to Uetonga's house. Uetonga was practising tattooing and agreed to tattoo Mataora, whose face was only painted. During the tattooing, Mataora sung of his sorrow and his search for Niwareka in the underworld. Niwareka heard the news and returned to him. Then permission was granted for Mataora's return to the upper world. His tattooing served as a reminder to avoid the evil actions of the upper world. He brought tattooing to the upper world and Niwareka brought a woven girdle from the underworld and so introduced theart of weaving.

i learnt that they use to make tattoos with bamboo and a needle.

Health Resilience

         

I learned that you have to try and cope with things even when they change. Change is a good thing even when you believe that it is a bad thing. Everything that we have done so far has been very easy for me to understand and I understood the message that the video was trying to convey. I related to the video . I sometimes find it hard to focus and to do my work but I will still try and accomplish the goals we are set. I can apply what I have learned my Business and Enterprise Kete by continuing my project even when I find it hard and challenging to do. 

Science

Today i learnt how photo synthesis helps sunlight food .
light from the sun enters the leaf glucose exits the leaf water absorbed by the roots enters the leaf frome the roots. carbon dioxide from the air enters the leaf through small holes on the underside of the leaf called stamina. oxygen exits the leaf through the stomatal pores.
chloroplasts containing a green pigment called chlorophyll trap sunlight energy. this is where the photosynthesis reaction occurs.

Merchant of Venice

Act 3, scene 2

1. Why does Portia want Bassanio to delay his choice?To fix a wrong casket
2. What makes Bassanio choose lead over the silver and gold caskets? find the quotes in the text to support your thinking. He chooses the lead because no one likes it.
3. What does Portia’s speech A3S2 L166-174 reveal about the expected roles of a woman in marriage? She's saying that she's a woman and she's not stupid.
4. What did Gratiano’s and Nerissa’s wish to marry depend on? Money
5. How does Portia know that the letter contains bad news? She saw Bassanio face turn into pale.
6. What help does Portia offer straightaway? Money
7. Do you think Portia would still be in love with Bassanio if she knew he had lied about his wealth? Yes, she fell in love with him because he chooses the lead casket.

Act Three, Scene Three:

Why can the Duke not ‘deny the course of law’ according to Antonio?
He can't bend the rules for Antonio because if he bends the rule for 1 person he will have to do it to the others meaning fights and riots.

What does Antonio seem resigned to his fate? What two important realizations is this based on? Use lines 8, 21-24, 26-31 to help you.
Antonio can't do much about it because he would be bending the law which will result in damage to the Venice economy.

Do you think Antonio’s feelings towards Bassanio have changed since the beginning, why?
Yes, a little because at first Antonio was sure that he will be able to pay the money back.

Shylock refuses to consider the idea of Mercy but demands Justice. Consider the following ideas:
Is mercy the same as forgiveness? No, because mercy means letting someone live and forgiveness is forgiving.
Is it easier to show mercy or look for revenge? In shylocks case, it's easier to show revenge because he has been not treated the same as others / bullied.

Is justice the same as fairness?
No, because justice means giving them what they deserve and fairness is equity.
Is true justice possible in this case?
Depends on your meaning of Justice because people have different meanings.

1.shell structure

A shell is a type of structural element which is characterized by its geometry, being a three-dimensional solid whose thickness is very small when compared with other dimensions, and in structural terms, by the stress resultants calculated in the middle plane displaying components which are both coplanar and normal to the surface. Essentially, a shell can be derived from a plate by two means: by initially forming the middle surface as a singly or doubly curved surface and by applying loads which are coplanar to a plate's plane which generate significant stresses.
