Freebies

Good news blog reader, i will give you the new way to earn gadgets with no hassles, all you have to do is click on the movie clip that has an average of 2 minutes and log in everyday to earn points and use it in claiming the item you wanted. But let me introduce to you what is Lockerz. According to other it is a scam, maybe they claim that one due to the fact that they were found to be one of those cheaters.

Lockerz is an invitation-only website created to connect members through commerce, content and social networking. Once invited, you'll be able to watch exclusive video, buy great products, discover new music, play games, and connect with friends. You'll be able to do this all in one place, AND you'll get rewarded for just doing the things you love. When you watch a video, play a game, or even log in, you'll earn Pointz (or "PTZ") Lockerz own form of currency. Turn around and redeem your PTZ for incredible merchandise, unique experiences and exclusive deals and sales.

Our mission is to be your daily habit, not a site for your parents or grandparents looking for their long-lost friends from kindergarten. Thanks to our millions of members around the world, Lockerz is already taking off beyond our greatest expectations. While still in beta, we've been sending today's most coveted items, from iPods to Xboxes, to members around the globe who have redeemed their PTZ and earned great prizes.

Too good to be true? Why are we doing this? To thank you for joining early. To build a Lockerz community of leaders and trendsetters. To give you a taste of how PTZ will work when we go live in early 2010. And to test out different prizes and PTZ levels. That's key. This version of PTZ Place is a test. PTZ levels will change when the full Lockerz site launches.

We're excited to have our early members join now, and explore and help shape the site before our official launch. We hope you'll join us.

If you want to get invited just leave your email in the feedback box or for the privacy of your email, you can email it on jan012682@gmail.com. Please note however, that those with yahoo email will not receive the invitation through their inbox, rarely you can see it in yahoo inbox, most of the time you will see it in the spam mail, but you can place it as not spam it later on.

Toodles.

Re: Letter Campaign in Support of Philippine Nurses’ Appeal for Fair Assessment

Dear Friends,

In the last few weeks, the problems of Philippine nurses over the registration process in New Zealand have been brought to public attention. Philippine Ambassador Bienvenido Tejano reported that there are about 50 “distressed" overstaying Filipinos in New Zealand, many of them nurses who were denied registration by the Nursing Council.

There could be more if the Philippine nurses currently applying for registration will also be declined because of the Council’s view that Filipinos who took up nursing as a second course are not good enough to be registered in New Zealand. Thus, on behalf of Philippine Nurses Speak Out! and Migrante Aotearoa New Zealand, we appeal for your support for the Philippine Nurses’ Urgent Appeal for Fair Assessment. Attached herewith is our petition.

One letter writer to the Philippine Senate, New Zealand national, Bill Marshall, noted: "Based on my personal experience, having been a patient in Middlemore Hospital heart ward, I can say Thank God for nurses from the Philippines. It has occurred to me that our hospital system (in New Zealand) could risk collapse without the contingency of Filipino nurses that we have. Filipino nurses deserve our respect."

We are hoping that a letter campaign across and beyond New Zealand will impact on the Nursing Council of New Zealand to consider our appeal. If you believe in the competence of Philippine nurses, we ask you to demonstrate your support by sending your own short personal message or by adding your signature to a general letter supporting our campaign. Please indicate if you are an employer/superior/client of Filipino nurses/healthcare assistants/caregivers.

If you choose to send a personal message to the Nursing Council, you may email to:

andrea@nursingcouncil.org.nz, oseas@nursingcouncil.org.nz,
admin@nursingcouncil.org.nz.

Kindly furnish copies to: migrante_nz@yahoo.co.nz and nurse_pinoy@yahoo.com.

Thank you very much.

* Second coursers are those who completed degrees in Biology, Psychology, Dentistry, Medicine, Engineering, Education and others before taking up Nursing, thus already gained credits and finished Nursing in less than four years.

LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR PHILIPPINE NURSES' APPEAL FOR FAIR ASSESSMENT

We, the undersigned members of Filipino communities and concerned citizens around the world, together with employers, superiors and clients of Filipino nurses/healthcare assistants/caregivers in New Zealand, endorse the petition for fair assessment of Filipino nurses applying for registration in New Zealand.

We urge the Nursing Council of New Zealand (NCNZ) to consider the positive feedback of New Zealanders on Filipino nurses/ healthcare assistants/caregivers.

We ask you to recognise the knowledge and skills of Filipino applicants currently in New Zealand who hold nursing as their second course.

We believe that Filipino nurses currently stranded in New Zealand, whether they are "second coursers" have served New Zealand's health institutions competently. They deserve to be registered and be able to practice their profession as nurses.

Petitioners (for SUPPORTERS of Philippine Nurses Speak Out! Campaign):
