Author page update!

Gosh it feels like a century ago that I have written a post here. Funnily enough again it’s to do with books as there’s another one coming up soon! Anyhow, it was time to update my profile blurb on Amazon.com and you can find it here https://www.amazon.com/author/ingridvanamsterdam Btw the feature photo is the same one used on my Amazon profile page taken almost exactly five years ago; an oldie…

In the face of racism

What do you do to confront racism?

In light of the latest developments at our local council I thought it might be timely to publish the following story. No matter what your stances are, they will never be an excuse for violence in any way. While this story typically relates to a New Zealand situation, it applies to other indigenous cultures just as much. To achieve peace it needs to be worked on from our inside, out. Reading…

Payment glitch!

Grateful for all the good people in the world.

Eeek! Thanks to a very friendly customer I was made aware of an unsuspected payment glitch! If you were wondering why a different amount shows up when wanting to purchase Premium Content stories with Premium Access (and I also noticed some incorrect issue numbers underneath articles) – all is now fixed 😅 Premium Access should be available for $0.99 only! Happy reading everyone!

Late night ramblings and a new web page

I am delighted to introduce you to our new Welcome page (and other ramblings!)

Reading time: 2 minutes Website update: BiograView has a new home page! (You’re welcome! 😉) It’s interesting how things keep evolving, some take longer than others to grow, but always will be, evolving. BiograView started out as a passion project for me; borne out of some kind of idealistic idea of a perfect world. Ingrid van Amsterdam – Late night ramblings In the time I have operated…

Milestones and beginnings

Reading time: 7 minutes So LinkedIn reminded me yesterday (the 16th of May): “Celebrating 5 years at BiograView”. A birthday. The creation of this website. My initial reaction was “okay”, as a matter of simple fact. In no way did I feel it needed to be mentioned but some people noticed (thank you!) Now when I woke up this morning I suddenly realised how significant this day really is to me,…

Happy Taranaki Anniversary Day!

Taranaki Anniversary Day is a provincial holiday observed in New Zealand and if you’re lucky to live in this beautiful region, you’re getting a day off work! Super sunny today so what more could you want 🙂 This day commemorates the creation of the Taranaki province. Originally called New Plymouth province, it was renamed to Taranaki in 1859 after the tribal group to the west of Mount Egmont…

Budget 2022, Zoom hui

Last night I had the privilege to attend a Zoom hui hosted by Minister of Finance Hon Grant Robertson, and Hon Priyanca Radhakrishnan, Minister for Diversity, Inclusion and Ethnic Communities, in which they presented and discussed the Government’s Budget 2022 – ‘Securing our Future’. The event was attended by 81 ethnic community leaders and ethnic media. For privacy reasons just a cheesy selfie…

Eid al-Adha

BEATING MOSQUITOES

BiograView was contacted by QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute with a media release of this Pacific alliance to combat mosquito-borne diseases. With all the hype around Covid-19 it is easy to forget other diseases still prevalent in the world. It is great to see so many international organisations working together to combat the still-present, mosquito-borne diseases. Twelve international…

Reconnecting with te reo

Having a kapu tea with my notes after reconnecting with my te reo Māori at the Chamber of Commerce. Perfect in time with the I am Hana project mural, a work in progress at the back of the Puke Ariki building. I love the pink text taken from the original petition presented to Government by Hana 50 years ago, supporting her portrait in the making Rire rire hau pai mārire Peace and harmony, all…
