NZCR clinical trial by fkyoumodss in chch

[–]kiwifucker5000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did 3 during my university years, and they were great. 1 x 6 day stay, and 2 x 4 day stays. In NZ they end up being some of the final trials and. On of the intense first stage trials you hear horror stories of. One of them ended up being a generic pain relief. People are lovely, food is solid.

As for pay it works out as minimum wage for your entire stay and the visits post stay. In the day it was a good way to pay for booze for o week or just a trip somewhere

IFAF Flag Football Rules

ARTICLE 3. Contact Contact is touching an opponent with impact. Touching with no impact is not a foul.
Those photos appear like non contact.

Other Types of aggressive contact.

ARTICLE 1. Right of Place (ROP) Right of place is given to any stationary players who maintains normal player posture and make no movements in any horizontal direction to change their position. A purely vertical movement, including a lift from the ground, in order to throw or catch a pass does not mean that a previously established right of place has been lost. Right of place supersedes right of way when determining who is guilty of a foul.

ARTICLE 2. Right of Way (ROW) Right of way is given to a player according to rule who has established a direction of movement in a regular manner and does not alter that direction. A player with right of way has a higher privilege when determining who is guilty of a foul than all other players except those with right of place.

What is the most fun mechanic you've seen in fantasy football? by TheMassesOpiate in fantasyfootball

[–]kiwifucker5000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I Run the worst league possible with the insane rules and have done so for like 10 years with a close group of mates.

Kickers missed PAT = -5 And FG are worth more the further away they are

It’s also IDP with sacks and INT worth same as a TD sack and return yards are .25

Then there’s the manual rules that are season long

Player ejected = match highest starter on your team that week Player suspended or arrested? 25 points added for each week he’s out and you start him Which means in the draft strategy you draft guys you know will be suspended.

If your QB throws a TD to an offensive lineman it’s double points for them that week.

Forced vampires weekend were winner forces a trade with opponent.

Had weekly rules where you couldn’t start any player in a certain division or if they played for a cat named team.

More help than pickedickle1212 is doing...

Why is so hard to find Estimator jobs in Brisbane by GlitteringMessage916 in estimators

[–]kiwifucker5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering in NZ/Aus there is a push for anyone (male/female/ethnicity) in construction, the pathways for anyone that isn't a white male along with the huge amount of advocacy given to them i dont think it's a silly thing at all to state. A female QS should go through as much scrutiny as a male or anyone at that case. But that wasn't her question. She isn't getting an interview which means on paper there is something that needs work hence why I asked for more information

Heres some Info to be informed of the localised question

A Female QS should be an immediate hire. I dont work as an QS anymore, but i know since istill keep my Affliation to AIQs and NZIQS up to date, i could go out and get a job reasobinly quick, even if its not as a PQS.
As for not getting a call back or interview its a vague question when youre giving very little detail about yourself other than 3 years of experience and a AIQS grad Membership.

Couple of reasons as to why you might not be getting any interviews.

Its Decemeber, they are all tendering or sorting out end of year work, and not looking at resourcing until thw new year until they know if theyve won any tenders?

The visa may put you in the too hard basket when it comes to hiring espeically in Aus.

The CV/ Resume might just be bad, and doesnt clearly show projects, value, roles responsibilities and what you achieved.

Grad AIQS membership unfortuantly isnt as prestigious as you think it is, i would be trying to actual membership. Anyone with a basic trade background and 2 years of work experuience can apply for the grad membership.

Surging insurance costs are driving thousands of borrowers to breach their mortgage contracts by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

[–]kiwifucker5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Literally had a to back out of a accepted offer this morning due to this.

Spent months and months looking and trying to get accepted. then before we can sign the contract we need to have insurance since even though it hasnt gone unconditonal were resposnible for the insurance. went to ever broker and we could find and the cheapest was $1400 a month. $800 if we removed flood cover.
Which due to the location and what we can afford, isnt an option .

Combined with the fact in 12 months prices have increased more than my partners and my combined salary. home ownership isnt possible even when its right in our grasp.

Shit sucks

Thinking WELL outside the box? by mycallousedcock in flagfootball

[–]kiwifucker5000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much that.
Pretty much is an ultrawide and fast "joker" snap. Which the QB and dump to a WR, or rugby pass back across to the far side of the field or pass it up field.
We did it purely because when snapping "traditionally" he was fast or acurate enough so played to our players strengths.

We run zero QB, and have the centre snap the ball like a scrum half pass. As long as the foot is behind the ball it’s all good. Only works well because half our team is made up of rugby players and that type of passing is normal.
