 yes, choosing a used car over a brand new one will save you quite a large sum of money. Buying a used car also help you save in some other ways other than the auto price. For example, you will also be saving bucks on insurance costs and auto registration fees. However, a lower purchase is not always an answer. You have to keep in mind that it is not possible for all used cars to be equally good. You can easily run into a scam, if you don’t do your homework well enough. With that being said, here I have complied some important points to help you in your consideration in a car deal. Getting the Best Price on a Used Car One effective way to get the best price on a used car is buying a car through a broker. A broker will search dealer prices regionally, nationally and even internationally if necessary. This increases the odds that you find the vehicle that you want and for the price that you are happy to go by because vehicles may be priced differently in different locations even if they have the same features or specifications. For instance, an X-model car in Sydney may cost more than a car in Brisbane because people may not be willing to pay as much in general. By having your broker get in touch with that dealer, you may be able to get the car delivered to your home or somewhere nearby that is convenient to pick up the car. Negotiating Well One of the best ways to get a good deal on a used car is to know how to negotiate with a dealer. The biggest tool that you have in your arsenal is your willingness to walk away if you don’t get what you want. In many cases, the dealer will call you later that day or the next day caving to your demands assuming that they are reasonable. Car dealers don’t want to lose a sale because you asked for $500 off the sticker price or asked for a slightly lower interest rate over the life of your loan. How Inexperienced Buyers Can Get a Good Deal You may be thinking that you can’t get a good deal because I’m buying my first car. However, this is not the case. These days, dealers often put their lowest price on any car that they are looking to sell. They know that you can go online and find the lowest price in the area, which gives them incentive to not be undersold by anyone. Where dealers may try to take advantage of you is in the car financing and by trying to sell you more car than you may need. This happens frequently to those who don’t know what they want and or what they can afford. Therefore, it is in your best interest to research different makes and models that fit your needs as well as research how much you can afford to pay considering both principal and interest. Bottom Line There is a lot that goes into determining the price of a car and the amount that you will pay each month to finance that purchase. However, as long as you are willing to do your research, negotiate a little bit and stand firm on what you want, there is no reason why you can’t get the best possible deal on a used car.An exceptional opportunity to own a piece of numismatic history, we are delighted to present the First Prefix issue of Australia’s first $1 note – as a rare Consecutive Pair!
Australia’s first $1 was issued in February 1966. Carrying Australia’s first decimal signature combination, Coombs/Wilson, the first notes also carried the First Prefix, AAA. Naturally popular as the ‘first of their kind’, the 1966 $1 Coombs/Wilson AAA First Prefix notes are also sought after for their rarity in superior quality.
The interest in First & Last Prefix issues is a relatively recent phenomenon, and the 1966 AAA $1 notes were rarely set aside at the time of issue. As a result, they are seldom seen on the market, regardless of the condition. They are rare in the upper echelons of quality, and almost never offered as a consecutive pair – as here.
A wonderful opportunity, we have a single Consecutive Pair of the 1966 $1 Coombs/Wilson AAA First Prefix available – in virtually Uncirculated condition!
JUBA – The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) is drawing down operations in parts of former Western Bahr el Ghazal state where deteriorating security is making it unsafe for the agency’s humanitarian staff to work as well as endangering the civilians they serve. The upsurge of violence in Wau since 10 April has so far displaced at least 13,500 people.
Food assistance operations elsewhere in the country continue, with WFP and its partners striving to reach more than 4 million people this year.
“We regret that we are forced to suspend much of our food and nutrition assistance in Wau and surrounding areas because risks to our staff and their work have increased beyond levels we can accept," said WFP Representative and South Sudan Country Director Joyce Luma.
“We will maintain life-saving assistance to the growing population in the Protection of Civilians area in Wau but in the city and surrounding area we must discontinue emergency distributions, nutritional programmes and school meals,” she added. Approximately 40,000 people are sheltering in the Protection of Civilians area in Wau, according to the International Organization for Migration.
Intense insecurity in the region around Wau has increasingly posed immense challenges, limiting relief agencies’ ability to reach people with assistance. A recent sharp deterioration in the security environment has now forced WFP to stop almost all assistance in the region.
WFP and humanitarian partners in the region have been subjected to negative rhetoric, harassment and acts of aggression. These include the murder on 10 April of three men contracted by WFP as porters, and the arrests of a WFP staff member and two staff members of partner organizations.
A WFP staff member detained on 13 April during the conduct of his official duties remains in custody despite UN appeals for his release. WFP has contacted authorities in Wau and the South Sudanese capital, Juba, to secure his release; to have those responsible for killing the porters held to account; and to provide security to allow humanitarian staff to work safely with unconditional access to people in need.
UNMISS peacekeepers at the Protection of Civilians area in Wau will provide WFP with security to continue assisting people inside the UN-guarded camp. In other parts of the state, local authorities and security services are not providing WFP with the security needed to continue the organization’s life-saving work.
Owing to a lack of security guarantees WFP is relocating food that was already pre-positioned in Wau for distribution later in the year. Food is being transferred to other areas with high food insecurity where it can be safely stored. WFP is also scaling back capacity development activities in the region.
The United Nations has warned that humanitarian needs are continuing to rise in South Sudan as its operations have become increasingly dangerous. The killing of the porters in Wau brings the total number of aid workers killed in South Sudan since December 2013 to 82, according to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. Fourteen aid workers have been killed so far in 2017 compared to 24 in all of 2016.
Up to 4.9 million people – over 40 percent of the entire population of South Sudan – are estimated to be severely food insecure, including 100,000 people experiencing famine conditions. WFP aims to assist some 4.1 million people across the country in 2017.
Darwin Song Project

Darwin Song Project is a compilation album, released on 7 September 2009. It features folk artists from the UK and North America, who were tasked with the creation of new songs that had a "resonance and relevance to Charles Darwin". The artists gathered together for seven days in a farmhouse in Shropshire to compose the songs. The artists were: Chris Wood, Karine Polwart, Jez Lowe, Mark Erelli, Emily Smith, Rachael McShane, Krista Detor and Stu Hanna.
History.
The project was put together and managed by the Shrewsbury Folk Festival and was the feature of a BBC Radio 4 documentary and a feature on Mike Harding’s BBC Radio 2 show.
On 13 March 2009 eight artists gathered together at Henley Farmhouse in rural Shropshire for a week-long songwriting retreat, to create new works that related to Darwin – who was born in Shrewsbury in 1809. The eight artists covered a wide range of songwriting experience and styles, from some of the most celebrated writers in the UK through to artists who were relatively unknown in the UK. The newly formed ‘group’ performed these new songs to a sold out audience at the brand new Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury on 19 March, at the end of the songwriting week. The CD captures 17 of the songs performed on the night, and features all eight artists in both lead and supporting roles, culminating in Woods’ ensemble piece.
19 songs were written and performed at the original concert, a Chopin piece and reading from Randal Keynes book Annie's Box was performed by Wood &amp; Detor, and a final encore 'The Darwin Walk' written by Lowe was performed where each artist wrote and sung a verse of an ensemble piece. These are missing from the CD due to space limitations.
The group performed the songs again at the Shrewsbury Folk Festival on 29 August 2009, the Chopin piece was not played, but the 'Darwin Walk' was.
There is a DVD release of the initial concert with the fully mixed sound from the CD, the DVD includes the Chopin piece and 'The Darwin Walk' as well as extended song introductions. The DVD was never made commercially available and was only ever available at the 2009 Shrewsbury Folk Festival.
