Local Manitoba justice system worst among provinces: review
Manitoba justice system worst among provinces: review
By: Katie May Posted: 8:05 AM CDT Wednesday, Sep. 21, 2016 Last Modified: 4:47 PM CDT Wednesday, Sep. 21, 2016 | Updates
High violent-crime rates, skyrocketing public safety costs, slow court processes and "dismal" public perception of police have led to Manitoba's justice system being ranked the worst among all other provinces, according to a public policy think-tank's new report card.
The report, a first-of-its-kind measure of the administration of justice across Canada, was released Wednesday by the MacDonald-Laurier Institute. It ranks Manitoba's criminal-justice system as the second-worst in the country, better only than the Yukon, and gives it an overall C grade based on the most recent Statistics Canada data available in five categories.
The report's authors are calling on the provincial government to lead a complete review of the justice system to address what they see as serious problems with efficiency, fairness and access to justice, the disproportionate number of indigenous inmates and those in pretrial custody, and the high cost of policing and corrections in Manitoba.
JOHN WOODS / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS FILES There are more people in custody awaiting trial in Manitoba than anywhere else in Canada — an average of 125 people per 1,000 crimes.
"I think it is a real wakeup call. We hope that this report isn't about shaming provinces that under-perform. It's about highlighting that and trying to see that there are some changes that occur because of it," said report co-author Benjamin Perrin, a University of British Columbia law professor.
"The bigger picture is that the justice system as a whole is failing to do its job."
Manitoba was graded in five categories for the report card: public safety (C+), fairness and access (C+), support for victims (C), efficiency (C) and cost and resources (D), falling well behind highest-ranked P.E.I. and the other Atlantic provinces, which had more efficient justice systems overall, once the data were adjusted for population size.
"We're calling for a top-to-bottom review of the justice system in Manitoba. It needs to involve the provincial government leading this effort, but it's not going to work unless it has the support of all the players — we're talking from the chief justice of Manitoba on down. The judiciary, the heads of the prosecution services, the chiefs of police and the RCMP, aboriginal groups need to be involved in the community and victim services groups (as well)," Perrin said.
The Progressive Conservative provincial government has not committed to such a review, and placed blame on the previous NDP government for the report's "concerning" findings.
The report shows "there is much work that needs to be done," Justice Minister Heather Stefanson said in an emailed statement. "After 17 years of neglect by the previous government, Manitoba Justice faces significant fiscal and administrative challenges. Our government has begun the hard work required to repair the damage and is committed to ensuring that Manitobans have timely, effective and efficient access to justice."
Some of the factors that contributed to Manitoba's low ranking, including spending more money on policing and cracking down on administrative court-condition breaches, were meant to address high crime rates in the province, said NDP justice critic and former justice minister Andrew Swan. He pointed out western provinces with higher crime rates and more northern geographical area were more likely to get lower scores in this report.
"Manitoba's an expensive province to run a justice system," he said, adding the data doesn't take into account travel costs for police, court staff and probation officers to get in and out of remote communities.
Manitoba spends more on policing and corrections per capita than any other province, the report shows. The average per capita cost of public safety in Manitoba — as measured by Statistics Canada — is $599, while the average per capita cost of corrections is $144. That's compared with $104 in Saskatchewan and $51 in Alberta.
"It does show that Manitoba invests more money in policing per capita than any other province. I'm actually not ashamed of that. We knew in government that we needed to have more police out there doing their job. We also decided that we would take a very strong approach to bail and a very strong approach on people who breach probation," Swan said. "Yes, it does clog up the court, but at the same time, it provides public safety. What I expect the new government to do is to continue working as we did with judges, with Crown attorneys, with police, to make sure that the probation conditions make sense for people — you don't want conditions that are going to set people up to fail, but you do want conditions that keep people safe."
Swan said he'll be pushing the government to invest in drug-treatment and mental-health courts and focus on restorative justice measures to relieve pressure on the criminal justice system.
The average criminal case length in Manitoba is about 223 days, compared with 63 days in P.E.I. About 30 per cent of criminal charges laid in Manitoba are stayed or withdrawn, plugging up the system, though not as badly as in Ontario, where charges were ultimately thrown out in more than 40 per cent of cases.
There are more people in custody awaiting trial in Manitoba than anywhere else in Canada — an average of 125 people per 1,000 crimes, and indigenous people are disproportionately incarcerated in Manitoba.
All of these concerns "vastly outweigh" the positives in the province's justice system, Perrin said, pointing out the data show police in Manitoba work hard — with higher than average case-clearance rates for violent and non-violent crime and more charges laid per officer, as well as more referrals to victim services.
"The data really speaks for itself, and we were quite surprised to find how remarkably different the justice system is across the country. We often hear that crime rates are going down nationally and that's true, but it's not the case that each province and territory is equally safe. And it's not the case that justice is equally efficient," Perrin said.
The data are not perfect. Statistics Canada doesn't track recidivism rates, making it difficult to tell whether justice systems in Canada are successful in stopping offenders from committing more crimes. There are also gaps in certain data for particular provinces and territories — Alberta, for example, stopped tracking its proportion of aboriginal inmates four years ago, Perrin said.
He said he hopes the report card will lead to improved data collection across the country, and policy reform in Manitoba in particular.
"This should not be taken as a criticism of the people doing this work, but it should hopefully be something that they can then stand up and say, look, more needs to be done and we need to do a better job," he said.
The report casts too harsh a light on Manitoba's justice system, said University of Winnipeg criminal-justice professor Michael Weinrath, who said its use of the data to draw comparisons between provinces is "questionable," especially since the lowest-ranked provinces and territories have higher crime rates.
"We have a lot of police officers in Manitoba because we have a lot of violent crime. We have a lot of people locked up in Manitoba because we have a lot of violent crime. So some of the things that they're talking about, I think, go beyond what you can expect from the justice system," Weinrath said.
But he said the report raises important questions about how the province's justice system should measure its progress.
"Maybe we should be spending money in a different way, because we're disproportionately locking up a lot of indigenous people. The way the justice system has been going in Manitoba the last few years — which is, hire more police, oppose bail, arrest everyone that we can who is violating some sort of a court order — all that's doing is really driving the number of people in custody up. It's not doing anything for improving the situation of our indigenous peoples," Weinrath said.

Water power cost charge decrease proposed
By West Hawaii Today Staff | Tuesday, November 24, 2020, 12:05 a.m.
Hawaii County water consumers will have the opportunity to speak out on a proposed decrease to the power cost charge.
Users currently pay $2.01 per 1,000 gallons of water and, if the proposed decrease is approved, would pay $1.71 for the same amount.
With the proposed 30-cent decrease, a family of five, which consumes on average about 12,000 gallons of water per month, will see its bimonthly water bill decrease by $7.20.
A public hearing is set for 9:15 a.m. today, just before the Water Board's monthly meeting to be held at 10 a.m. The meeting is being held virtually and will be livestreamed on the department's Facebook page at HawaiiDWS.
The power cost charge change does not impact the department's revenue as the money collected goes to Hawaii Electric Light Co. to cover the electrical cost of transporting water to county customers. The charge may be adjusted every two months as the price of oil, and therefore the price of moving water to customers, changes.
The cost charge was last changed Aug. 1 when consumers saw it increase from $1.90 to $2.01 per 1,000 gallons. In February, the rate was decreased from $2 per 1,000 gallons to $1.90.
Two years ago, in August 2017, the power cost charge was $1.73. In September 2009, the charge was $1.68 per 1,000 gallons.

How To Get Paid To Play Video Games
Some gamers are reportedly making around $10,000 per month. If you're curious to learn how to get paid to play video games, read on.

How To Get Paid To Play Video Games (Methods That Work)
If you love video gaming and are looking to make money online, paid gaming could offer a well-paying career path, with some gamers reportedly making around $10,000 per month.
However, as I learned the hard way after being forced to close my business, making money online can be both challenging and extremely rewarding. Earning an income playing video games could be your work-at-home solution.
If you're curious to learn how to get paid to play video games, read on.
How Much Money Can You Make Playing Video Games?
As with other online ventures, your income depends largely on which money making method you choose, how hard you work, and how much you're willing to invest in becoming successful.
Video game tester jobs are one of the most popular ways to make money playing games. In this job, you'll get paid to test out new games, identify bugs, and help the game developer make improvements. In the US, the average annual salary for game testers comes out to $63,676, or $31 per hour — a comfortable living, by most people's standards.
You could make an even more impressive income with your own YouTube channel or Twitch livestream feed. Some of the biggest gaming stars on these platforms make millions of dollars per year, although that kind of success usually comes from having an enormous fan base that can take years to build.
Becoming a pro gamer and playing in tournaments may not provide a steady income stream, but some players still net six-figure incomes from winning big competitions. You do need to be a skilled player and win pretty regularly to see significant returns for your efforts, but it's definitely possible.
Best-Paying Video Games
Not all games are created equal when it comes to making a living as a gamer. Let's take a look at five of the top money making games and how much you can potentially earn from playing each one.
Dota 2 is currently one of the highest-paying video games. Since the action-strategy game was released in 2013, tournaments have paid out a staggering $227.9 million in prize money. The first-place team in 2019's International Championship took home $15.6 million — although, in all fairness, the money was split between five people.
The fourth game in the Counter-Strike series, Global Offensive, has been very lucrative for gamers. A total of $103.2 million has been awarded to tournament winners since 2012. A few top players of this first-person shooter game have accrued lifetime earnings of over $1.7 million.
Fortnite, the hugely popular battle royale game, also pays handsomely. In 2019, the World Cup Finals gave out over $15 million in prizes for players. Most tournaments have much smaller pots, but winners may still earn tens of thousands of dollars.
Although not as popular as its competition, Dota 2, League of Legends has plenty of devotees, and tournaments have paid out over $81 million in prize money over the game's lifetime.
The military sci-fi strategy game Starcraft II has awarded the least money of these five games, with only $33 million given in prizes since the game came out in 2010. Still, some of its best players have banked hundreds of thousands of dollars over the course of their gaming careers.
Of course, getting paid to play video games comes with some costs. If you're a gamer, you likely already have a gaming console (such as a PlayStation, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch) or a decent-quality computer to play on.
If your computer or console is a little older or out-of-date, you might want to upgrade to something newer. PC players should consider investing in a computer specifically designed for gaming if they don't have one already — standard computers lack the heavy-duty processing power needed to run games optimally. Modernizing your gaming console to its latest version is also advisable.
Either way, you want to have equipment that performs consistently well and offers smooth, seamless gameplay, especially if you plan to compete in tournaments. And if you intend to livestream your playing, you'll need a webcam as well as a reliably speedy internet connection.
Most of these items are not cheap, and depending on how many of them you need to buy, your starting costs could be steep. Once you get started with paid gaming, you'll hopefully be able to earn your money back (and then some).
Legit Ways to Make Money Playing Video Games
There are plenty of ways to make a good living from playing video games. Ultimately, the gaming career path you choose will depend on your skills, interests, and personality — we'll compare some of these options and provide information about how to get started with each one.
Test Video Games
If you're looking to break into the video gaming industry for the first time, game testing is a great place to start. You can either work as a quality assurance (QA) officer, helping identify potential issues with new game releases, or become an in-house game tester for a game developer.
As a QA officer, you'll thoroughly test games while they're in the development phase, providing feedback to the developer about what works well and what could be made better. You'll often play the same game numerous times, and you'll be expected to report any bugs or glitches you find.
After QA officers give the green light on a new game, in-house testers will extensively play the finished version of the game and continue looking for any more potential problems before the game is released to the public. In-house testing typically pays well, but also requires more gaming experience and expertise than QA jobs. Most of these testers are established gamers within the industry, and they sometimes lead the QA process for new games.
QA is an easier field to break into, but professionals are usually hired as independent contractors rather than employees, so the work's not always steady. The pay isn't terribly high, either (usually $10-$15 per hour), although you have the potential to earn more as you gain experience and skills. QA officers may also advance to become in-house testers later in their careers.
Since QA roles are usually contractor positions, you may work in an office that will provide materials and equipment for you, or you may have to work from home using your own computer or game console. Keep in mind that if you are asked to supply your own equipment, you might be able to negotiate higher pay.
Game testers are typically 18 years of age or older, have completed high school (or a GED), and have extensive amateur gaming experience. Other essential skills include communication, creativity, persistence, and detail orientation. Because video game testing jobs can be competitive, earning a degree in video game design, computer science, or a similar field might give you an edge over other aspiring testers.
Become a Pro Gamer
Another avenue to making money playing games is to become a professional video gamer. Pro gamers play in tournaments and win prize money for ranking among the top players. You need to be an excellent gamer to be competitive, especially on the national and international levels — but gamers who make it big on the pro scene can earn an impressive income.
This path will require a significant investment of time and energy, and you will probably need another source of financial support as you build your pro gaming career. It's generally best to focus on developing your skills in a single game, so choose the game that you have the most experience with and get ready to start practicing. You might even consider hiring a coach to fine-tune your abilities.
There are a couple of pathways to becoming a pro gamer. Two of the major ones are playing in tournaments and joining an eSports team.
When you start to feel confident in your gameplay, you can begin by entering into smaller competitions as a solo player. You may not win right away — that's completely fine. The key is that you learn from each match and improve your performance the next time.
As you start to win smaller competitions, you might go on to compete in bigger tournaments, some of which have huge prize pots. It can take years of competing and practicing before you might start winning those matches, and some gamers never reach that level. But if and when you get to that point, you'll be rewarded for all of your hard work.
Joining an eSports Team
If you prefer playing alongside other gamers, you can apply to join an eSports team. As a team player, you can make a regular monthly salary of $3,000 to $5,000 and compete in tournaments around the world.
Usually, talented gamers with established followings on YouTube (or other platforms) are the ones who make the cut for eSports teams. It can take time to build yourself a fan base, so you may want to start that process as soon as possible if you're thinking about pursuing an eSports career.
Start Your Own YouTube Channel
Some gamers have achieved huge success through their YouTube channels. YouTube lets you post creative, engaging videos to connect with other gaming enthusiasts. There are all kinds of creative ways to leverage the YouTube platform to make money and build a name for yourself as a player, although it can take a while to begin earning revenue this way.
If you're starting from scratch with a brand-new channel, you'll need to build a following. Make sure to fill out your profile completely and create a channel trailer so that your audience will know who you are and what you're about. Adding video game-related keywords to your "About" section will help people discover your YouTube channel more easily. And your channel trailer is a great way to reach non-subscribers and potentially convert them into audience members.
Next, it's time to start adding videos to your channel. Not sure what kind of content to post? Here are some video ideas and inspirations that have worked well for gamers on YouTube:
Recording and sharing your gameplay with friends or fellow YouTubers
Creating tutorials and guides for popular games that you know how to play well
Reviewing the pros and cons of new games on the market
Sharing your commentary and thoughts about various games (or the gaming industry)
Adding commentary or effects to gameplay videos
Try to stick to a regular schedule of uploading high-quality, unique videos with attractive thumbnail images. You want your content to entertain and inform potential followers. If you're on social media, you can start sharing your videos with your contacts and connections.
Over time, as you add to your body of content, you should start to see more and more subscribers who enjoy your videos and want to see more of them. Once you've built up a base of followers, you can apply for the YouTube partnership program and start to make money through methods such as advertising, affiliate marketing, and sponsorships from gaming companies.
YouTube has pretty substantial requirements for its partnership program — you'll need at least 1,000 subscribers and a total view time of at least 4,000 hours over the past year — but once you meet these standards, your YouTube channel can become quite lucrative.
Livestream Your Gameplay
If YouTube isn't your thing and you'd rather focus on playing your favorite game, you can livestream your gameplay on a platform like Twitch.
Similar to YouTube, you do have to start by adding content to your feed and building a following, and you'll need to qualify for Twitch's partnership program to start monetizing your content. But once you're accepted as a partner, you can start generating income through ads and sponsorships.
The bottom line is that you can potentially make a very good living playing video games through legitimate means. More than likely, it will mean starting your own business, which can require a lot of time and effort on your part. But for many people, venturing out on their own is an exciting step and brings increased freedom.
Video gaming is not an easy career path, and success is never guaranteed. But if you're great at what you do, and you've got the means and the drive to work hard at it, you could be rewarded with a career that fulfils you and pays well. Isn't that what we all dream of?

Kojima Productions to attend Comic-Con 2013?
It looks like Kojima Productions will be attending this year's Comic-Con. Comic-Con is a yearly convention held in San Diego dedicated to comics and related art forms (like video games). It seems like Kojima Productions will be there this summer.
And when I first went to Comicon, I was almost going crazy as it was too much of fun.
Kojima was also at the convention last year, so it's not too unlikely he will be attending this time as well.
Below are two iPhone bumpers featuring a Foxhound logo, according to Kojima they are limited edition Comic-Con items. These are still just prototypes though.
Comic-Con 2013 will be held in San Diego, July 18 – 21.

Greensill pours SoftBank's 'new tech' money into 92-year-old bank
Vision Fund's ability to spot a tech star has already been called into question after one of its biggest investments, WeWork, pulled its IPO
Nordfinanz Bank AG in Bremen
Duncan Mavin
Monday October 7, 2019 1:01 am
When SoftBank's Vision Fund invested about $800m into Greensill, the fast-growing UK finance company, in May, a press release touted its plans to "accelerate new technology" and expand into China, Brazil and India.
In fact, the bulk of the money was poured into a 92-year-old bank based in Bremen, Germany. The Greensill subsidiary bills itself as a "traditional" institution that takes deposits and makes loans to small businesses.

Philip Barry Tomlinson (1932) is een Amerikaanse botanicus.

Tussen 1949 en 1955 werd hij opgeleid aan de University of Leeds. In 1953 behaalde hij hier zijn B.Sc.. Tijdens zijn studie verrichtte hij onder meer onderzoek op het Jodrell Laboratory van de Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. In 1955 behaalde hij een Ph.D. met het proefschrift Studies in the Systematic Anatomy of the Zingiberaceae.

Tussen 1955 en 1956 had Tomlinson een functie als postdoc bij de Universiti Malaya en de Singapore Botanic Gardens. Tussen 1956 en 1959 was hij universitair docent aan de University College of the Gold Coast (tegenwoordig bekend als de University of Ghana in Greater Accra (Ghana). Tussen 1960 en 1971 was hij actief als wetenschappelijk onderzoeker bij de Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables (Florida). Tussen 1965 en 1971 was hij tevens actief als onderzoeker in de houtanatomie voor de Maria Moors Cabot Foundation for Botanical Research bij de Harvard University. Tussen 1971 en 2001 was hij actief als hoogleraar in de biologie aan de Harvard University.

Vanaf 2001 is Tomlinson hoogleraar in de tropische botanie voor de National Tropical Botanical Garden op Kauai (Hawaï) en emeritushoogleraar aan de Harvard University . Voor de National Tropical Botanical Garden houdt hij zich onder meer bezig met onderzoek naar mangroveplanten, naaktzadigen en palmen.

Tomlinson heeft zich gespecialiseerd in de morfologie en anatomie van eenzaadlobbigen (met name tropische taxa), planten die zijn geassocieerd met de zee in tropische gebieden zoals mangrove en zeegras, morfologie en anatomie van houtige planten uit de tropen, kwantificatie van plantenvormen, ontwikkelingsmorfologie van coniferen en de functionele correlaties tussen stuifmeelstructuur en kegelvruchtmorfologie van coniferen.

Tomlinson heeft onder meer veldwerk verricht in West-Afrika, Zuidoost-Azië, eilanden in de Grote Oceaan (onder meer Fiji, de Caraïben, Midden-Amerika en Australazië (vooral Nieuw-Zeeland). Hij is (mede)auteur van artikelen in botanische tijdschriften als American Journal of Botany en Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society.

Tomlinson is lid van meerdere wetenschappelijke organisaties, waaronder de Linnean Society of London, de Botanical Society of America, de International Association for Plant Taxonomy, de Association for Tropical Biology en de International Association of Wood Anatomists.

In 1990 kreeg Tomlinson de Merit Award van de Botanical Scoiety of America. In 1999 gaf de Linnean Society of London hem de Linnean Medal vanwege zijn verdiensten voor de botanie. In 2002 onderscheidde het Smithsonian Institution hem met de José Cuatrecasas Medal vanwege zijn verdiensten voor de tropische botanie.

Dirk Nowitzki– 3-19-3-2-1-0-0-0. Dirk is having a mini-renaissance in his 57th year in the league. He's just consistently efficient. Those guys can definitely help your team.
Dennis Smith Jr.– 2-15-2-7-3-0-5. The Good: 6-for-12 FGs. The Bad: five TOs. The Ugly: 1-for-5 FTs. He's on the cusp of greatness, but I'm starting to have the feeling next year is going to be his real breakout year. He's just too raw right now.
Wesley Matthews– 5-24-4-5-1-0-1. He's having a bit of a bounce-back year from last year, but sadly he's not much better than Wayne Ellington… Is he better?
John Wall– 3-25-3-9-4-1-4, Wall gonna ball. The 3's are a nice sign for him.
Bradley Beal– 5-34-5-5-1-0-0. The Beal Deal has been a steal. Well, considering you probably took him in the second or third round, he's been exactly what you paid for.
Tyreke Evans– 3-26-5-7-1-0-3. 'Reke da Villain was definitely a steal on draft day or from the waiver wire. Pickup of the year.
Marc Gasol– 2-17-11-5-0-6-5. Marc had a block party on national television, in what turned out to be a pretty entertaining game. When I first saw who they were showing I was like; "Wizards-Grizzlies!?" And I repeated it like ten times because it's a funny sounding matchup.
C.J. McCollum-4-20-4-6-3-0-1 on 8-of-13 shooting. Hopefully, this is the start of a hot steak for him because he has been mildly disappointing so far.
Jeremy Lamb– 2-17-5-1-1-0-1. Maintaining his late round value. Definitely a hold in 12ers and beyond.
Brandon Ingram– 1-22-14-4-0-0-1. Lakers lost a terrible game to the Hornets in LA last night. They looked kind of lost in their last few games. *Double checks* OK they've lost nine in a row and 12 of their last 13…Ingram always looks like he's lost…in space. Seriously, this dude looks like he's freshly blunted 24/7.
Julius Randle– Got the start and went 15-10-2-0-0-3. I guess it didn't work out, but solid line for him.
Jonas Valanciunas– 20-13-1-0-1-0. The Lithuanian Jonas Brother had a nice night and has been up and down, but his minutes are low so maybe a sell-high moment.
DeMar DeRozan– 1-20-5-4-2-1-3. Toronto blew out Milwaukee, so the line could have been bigger, but you'll take it for sure.
Serge Ibaka– 1-21-5-0-1-0-2. Man, his blocks have been dwindling in the past few years. He's still putting up good value, because of good percentages, and some 3's.
Thon Maker– 10-8-1-0-3-0 in 20 mins. This game got out of hand, but Thon proved what he can do if he gets the minutes. Let me see that Tho-o-o-o-on!
Malcolm Brogdon– 3-19-2-3-0-0-1. He's so good, but he's stuck behind Bledsoe and a bunch of other stars in the pecking order on the Bucks. They have so much talent, they don't even know what to do with it.
Matthew Dellavedova– 1-10-0-7-0-0-1. He's been back for a few weeks now and getting assists, so if you need that might be worth an add in 12-ers.
Kristaps Porzingis– 1-15-7-1-1-3-2 on 5-of-14 FGs as the Knicks lost to the Heat. Kristaps has been on a downswing lately and might be worth a buy-low, or teams have just figured out that to beat the Knicks, all they need to do is stop Prozingis. I believe he'll be better once Hardaway comes back.
Michael Beasley– Beas-Mode went 1-20-10-2-2-0-2. Left with a twisted ankle in OT, but returned and should be fine for the next game. Worth an add in 12-ers.
Josh Richardson– AKA A$AP Rocky went 1-18-1-2-3-1-1. He's been much improved this year. Nothing to say, but kudos on drafting.
Wayne Ellington– 6-24-4-0-1-0-1. Why do I bench him on Fridays? I feel like I'm always writing about him going off as he seems to have a big game every Friday. Heads up DFS players! He should be owned in 12-ers at least until Waiters comes back, and perhaps after.
Karl-Anthony Towns– 1-25-23-1-0-2-0-1. It seems like he hasn't quite broken out yet on the year, and Jimmy Butler could be a hindrance to his value, but he's still ranked number six overall.
Terry Rozier– 2-14-9-1-0-0-1. Boston has the best back-up backcourt in basketball.
Andre Drummond– Returned from injury and went 10-8-5-1-0-2 and 1-of-1 FTs. Not bad, for first game back. He should be better soon.
Ben Simmons– 19-4-9-2-2-4. Keeps doing it, ROY candidate, even though he sat out his first year. I know certain NBA announcers that think he should not be eligible. I can't really comment, but he's a hell of a first year player in my book.
J.J. Redick– 3-21-2-3-0-0-0. He's consistently solid. A very safe pick, if that's your thing. 3's and won't really hurt you anywhere.
Tyler Ulis– 8-1-6-3-0-3. Not a huge line, but got 35 minutes, and might be getting a try-out for those that want to see what he can do as the starter for the Suns. I had high hopes for him going into the year based on the end of last year, but he hasn't really panned out. Worth monitoring if he's getting the minutes though.
Alex Len– He's probably droppable in 12-ers. I know I did… 10 and 5 in 15 minutes is not cutting it.
Kawhi Leonard- 1-21-3-3-4-3-1. My Gawhd…Once he's fully unleashed, look out. Ka-whi didn't I buy-low?
Bryn Forbes– 2-16-3-1-3-0-2. Turn it up! Bryn the Noise!
Pau Gasol– 2-15-7-0-0-0-2. Just wanted to mention him as a guy who is quietly having a nice season even though he got devalued on draft day for being a) old and b) on the Spurs. I think he's holding nice value even though he might have his rest days.
Derrick Favors– 14-10-1-0-3-2. If only he could keep the blocks up consistently. I don't think he holds huge value once Gobert comes back. Might be ownable in 12ers, but not much upside. The best thing that can happen to him is if he gets traded.
Jamal Murray– 6-26-6-3-0-0-1. You gotta love this guy. Shooting 92.4% from the line on the year. And averaging over 16 points. Steal.
Trey Lyles– Another Nugget holding great value: 4-26-7-1-2-0-0. Has been absolutely slaying lately, scoring double digits in his last ten games, and over 15 in nine of his last ten. Trey Bay-Bay!
That about wraps her up! It was a huge slate of games last night, so I definitely couldn't get to everyone in depth, but as always leave a question in the comments section!

Frigidaire has voluntarily recalled three series of clothes washers due to a possible fire hazard. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), an internal defect in the washers' drain pumps can cause heat to build up, posing a fire hazard to consumers. The recalled washers include top-load, 3.1-cubic-foot front-load, and laundry center combo-models that were sold between February and May under the Crosley, Frigidaire, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Wascomat and White-Westinghouse brands.
The recall affects about 35,000 units, which were manufactured in the U.S. and sold nationwide by Sears and other retailers for between $300 and $1,100. No incidents or injuries have been reported, but the CPSC is advising consumers to unplug the units and contact Frigidaire or Sears (if purchased there) to schedule a free repair. Both companies have established toll-free hotlines and dedicated Web pages to field repair requests.

my boyfriend was depressed and couldn't get a job so we brought him to the mobile outreach place. They gave him this seroquel and no information on the drug. So I told him not to take it untill we found out what it was(I had been through the mistake of being stuck in a mental ward and given 20mg of haldol because I had insomnia) So of course I was weary about him taking something when there was no info. Anyway he took it and laid in bed all day crying and not being able to get out of bed. It was very bad. Now he doesn't deny he has a problem but will not go to any doctors. It kind of seems like they talked to him for ten minutes and gave him something unesseceary and harsh. Like couldn't they give him something less crappy like prozac?

Bob Dylan-Inspired Drama Series in Development at Amazon, Lionsgate TV – Variety
Lionsgate TV is closing in on a deal with Amazon for an hourlong drama series inspired by characters and themes from Bob Dylan's vast archive of songs.
"Time Out of Mind" will be spearheaded by writer-director Josh Wakely, who managed to secure the wide-ranging rights deal for Dylan's song catalog.
Details of the Dylan project, named for the songwriter's acclaimed 1997 album, are still sketchy. Dylan's incomparable body of work over the past 50-plus years could yield any number of intriguing characters. The plan for the series is that two characters or story threads from Dylan songs that wind up colliding in some way.
Okay, I'm down for this.

L'agriculture en Nouvelle-Zélande est le plus grand secteur de l'économie marchande du pays. Les exportations de produits agricoles (bruts et manufacturés) se sont élevées à 46,4 milliards de dollars néo-zélandais au cours des douze mois précédant juin 2019, soit 79,6 % du total des exportations du pays. Le secteur de l'agriculture, de la sylviculture et de la pêche a contribué directement à hauteur de 12,653 milliards de dollars (soit 5,1 %) au PIB national au cours des douze mois précédant septembre 2020, et employait 143 000 personnes, soit 5,9 % de la main-d'œuvre néo-zélandaise, au recensement de 2018.

La Nouvelle-Zélande a la particularité d'être le seul pays développé à être totalement exposé aux marchés internationaux depuis que les subventions, les avantages fiscaux et le soutien des prix au secteur agricole ont été supprimés dans les années 1980. Cependant, depuis 2017, le gouvernement néo-zélandais maintient des investissements publics dans les infrastructures qui soutiennent l'agriculture.

Les terres sont principalement utilisées pour l'élevage, mais on constate une augmentation des surfaces consacrées à l'horticulture.

La Nouvelle-Zélande est membre du groupe de Cairns, qui cherche à obtenir le libre-échange des produits agricoles.

Histoire

Le ministère de l'Agriculture contrôlait tous les abattoirs exportateurs de viande. En 1921, il y avait 32 inspecteurs d'abattoirs et 86 inspecteurs de boucheries. La viande de mouton néo-zélandaise était marquée comme étant inspectée par le gouvernement et de première qualité.

Le gouvernement a offert un certain nombre de subventions au cours des années 1970 pour aider les agriculteurs après l'adhésion du Royaume-Uni à la Communauté économique européenne et, au début des années 1980, l'aide gouvernementale assurait à certains agriculteurs 40 % de leurs revenus. En 1984, le gouvernement travailliste a mis fin à toutes les subventions agricoles dans le cadre de la Rogernomics, et en 1990, l'industrie agricole est devenue le secteur le plus déréglementé de Nouvelle-Zélande. Pour rester compétitifs sur les marchés européens et américains fortement subventionnés, les agriculteurs néo-zélandais ont dû accroître l'efficacité de leurs exploitations.

Élevage

Dans le Northland, la principale forme d'élevage est la vache à viande. Dans les régions du Waikato, de la Baie de l'Abondance, du Taranaki et de West Coast, les vaches laitières prédominent. Dans le reste de la Nouvelle-Zélande, l'élevage ovin est la principale activité rurale, avec l'élevage de vaches à viande dans les collines et les hautes terres. L'élevage laitier se développe dans les régions de Canterbury, Otago et Southland.

Élevage laitier
Il y avait 6,26 millions de vaches laitières en Nouvelle-Zélande en juin 2019. Pour la saison 2019-20, 4,92 millions de vaches ont été traites dans 11 179 troupeaux, produisant 21,1 milliards de litres de lait cru contenant 1,9 million de tonnes de matières solides du lait (protéines et matières grasses). Les exploitations laitières couvraient une superficie de 17 304 km², soit environ 6,46 % de la superficie totale de la Nouvelle-Zélande.

Le secteur de l'élevage de vaches laitières employait 39 264 personnes au recensement de 2018, soit 1,6 % de la main-d'œuvre néo-zélandaise, ce qui en fait le dixième secteur d'emploi du pays. Environ 56 % des exploitations laitières de Nouvelle-Zélande sont exploitées par des propriétaires en 2015. Environ 29 % le sont par des sharemilkers, sorte de métayers possédant leur propre troupeau et responsables de l'emploi des travailleurs et des opérations quotidiennes de la ferme, en échange de la réception d'un pourcentage (généralement 50 %) du revenu laitier. Enfin, 14 % sont des trayeurs sous contrat, qui ne possèdent pas leur propre troupeau. Ceux sous contrat fixe sont payés à un prix déterminé par quantité de lait, tandis que les trayeurs sous contrat variable reçoivent un pourcentage plus faible (généralement 20 à 30 %) du revenu laitier.

L'élevage laitier en Nouvelle-Zélande est principalement basé sur le pâturage. Les vaches laitières se nourrissent principalement d'herbe, complétée par de l'ensilage, du foin et d'autres cultures pendant l'hiver et les autres périodes de faible croissance des pâtures. L'année laitière en Nouvelle-Zélande s'étend généralement du 1er juin au 31 mai. Le premier jour de la nouvelle année, connu sous le nom de « Moving Day » ou « Gypsy Day », est le théâtre d'une rotation de l'emploi à grande échelle, les sharemilkers et les trayeurs contractuels acceptant de nouveaux contrats et déplaçant les troupeaux et les équipements entre les fermes. Le vêlage a généralement lieu à la fin de l'hiver (juillet et août), et les vaches sont traites pendant neuf mois avant d'être taries à la fin de l'automne (avril et mai). Certaines exploitations pratiquent la traite hivernale, entièrement ou partiellement, et dans ce cas le vêlage a lieu à la fin de l'été et au début de l'automne (février et mars).

Les producteurs laitiers vendent leur lait aux transformateurs et sont payés par kilogramme de matière solide de lait (kgMS). Au cours de la saison 2019-20, les transformateurs ont payé en moyenne 7,20 $ par kgMS (hors taxes), le paiement variant entre 6,25 $ et 9,96 $ par kgMS selon le transformateur. Fonterra est le principal transformateur de lait en Nouvelle-Zélande, traitant 82 % de la production en 2018. Les autres grandes entreprises laitières sont Open Country Dairy (7,4 %), Synlait et Westland Milk Products (3,4 % chacun), Miraka (1,4 %), Oceania Dairy (1,1 %) et Tatua Co-operative Dairy Company (0,7 %).

Seuls 3 % de la production laitière sont consommés dans le pays, le reste étant exporté. La Nouvelle-Zélande est le premier exportateur mondial de lait entier en poudre et de beurre, et le troisième exportateur (derrière l'Union européenne et les États-Unis) de lait écrémé en poudre et de fromage.

Élevage de moutons

En juin 2019, il y avait 26,82 millions de moutons en Nouvelle-Zélande. La population ovine a culminé à 70,3 millions de moutons en 1982 et n'a cessé de décliner depuis.

Au cours des 12 mois précédant décembre 2020, 19,11 millions d'agneaux et 3,77 millions de moutons adultes ont été transformés, produisant 362 250 tonnes d'agneau et 97 300 tonnes de hogget (jeune mouton de un à deux ans) et de moutons adultes. En 2006-2007, 164 000 tonnes de laine vierge ont été produites. Environ 95% de la viande ovine et 90% de la production de laine sont exportés, le reste étant consommé au niveau national. En 2019, la consommation intérieure d'agneau et de mouton était de 3,6 kg par habitant.

Élevage bovin
La Nouvelle-Zélande comptait 3,89 millions de bovins de boucherie en juin 2019.

Au cours des 12 mois précédant décembre 2020, 1,59 million de vaches à viande adultes et 1,15 million de vaches laitières adultes ont été transformés, produisant 698 380 tonnes de viande bovine. De plus, 1,86 million de veaux et de vealers (jeune bovin âgé de 14 mois maximum élevé pour la viande) ont été transformés, produisant 30 150 tonnes de viande de veau.  Environ 80 % du bœuf et du veau sont exportés, les 20 % restants étant consommés sur le marché intérieur. En 2019, la consommation intérieure de bœuf et de veau était de 11,6 kg par habitant.

Élevage porcin
Dans la première moitié du 20e siècle, les porcs étaient souvent élevés aux côtés des vaches laitières. La plupart des transformateurs laitiers ne collectaient que la crème, de sorte que les producteurs laitiers séparaient le lait entier en crème et en lait écrémé, et nourrissaient les porcs avec ce dernier. Dans les années 1950 et 1960, l'amélioration de la technologie a permis aux transformateurs laitiers de passer à la collecte du lait entier. L'élevage de porcs s'est ensuite spécialisé et la majorité des exploitations se sont déplacées vers des régions productrices de céréales comme Canterbury.

Il y avait 255 900 porcs en Nouvelle-Zélande en juin 2019. Canterbury est de loin la plus grande région d'élevage porcin avec 161 600 porcs, soit 63,1 % de la population nationale.

Les porcs sont généralement élevés en intérieur, soit dans des cages de gestation, des cases de mise-bas, des enclos d'engraissement ou des enclos collectifs. Ils peuvent aussi être élevés en semi-liberté (en plein air jusqu'à leur sevrage, en intérieur ensuite), ou en liberté totale. En 2021, les proportions de ces modes d'élevage étaient respectivement de 55 %, 42 % et 3 %.

Au cours des 12 mois précédant décembre 2020, 636 700 porcs ont été transformés, produisant 44 950 tonnes de viande. En 2019, la consommation intérieure de porc, jambon et lard était de 18,9 kg par habitant. La production nationale ne couvre qu'environ 45 % de la demande, les importations de porc, de jambon et de bacon, principalement en provenance de l'Union européenne, d'Amérique du Nord et d'Australie, venant compléter l'offre nationale. Une petite quantité de viande est exportée pour approvisionner les nations voisines des îles du Pacifique.

Aviculture
En 2021, environ 4,15 millions de poules pondeuses sont élevées, produisant plus de  d'œufs en 2017.

Avant les années 1960, la viande de poulet était en grande partie un sous-produit de la production d'œufs : les poulets à vendre étaient généralement des coqs ou des poules de réforme. Avec l'introduction des poulets de chair dans les années 1960, l'industrie de la viande est passée de 8 000 tonnes par an en 1962 à plus de 40 000 tonnes au milieu des années 1980. À la fin des années 1990, le poulet a dépassé le bœuf en tant que viande la plus consommée en Nouvelle-Zélande. Au cours des 12 mois précédant décembre 2020, 118,7 millions de poulets ont été élevés pour la viande, produisant 217 200 tonnes de viande de poulet.

Les poulets représentent plus de 98 % de la production avicole du pays, les dindes et les canards formant la majorité du reste. Environ 500 000 dindes et 200 000 canards sont vendus par an, 90 % des dindes étant vendues dans les semaines précédant Noël.

En 2019, la consommation nationale de poulet et autres volailles était de 41,1 kg par habitant. La majeure partie de la viande de volaille produite en Nouvelle-Zélande est consommée dans le pays. En raison de restrictions en matière de biosécurité, l'importation de viande de volaille et d'œufs en Nouvelle-Zélande est interdite.

Autres élevages
L'élevage de cerfs a augmenté de façon spectaculaire, passant d'un cheptel de 150 000 têtes en 1982 à 1,59 million en 2006. En 2005, 1 617 élevages de cerfs occupaient 218 000 hectares de terres. Au 30 septembre 2007, 252 millions de dollars de venaison ont été exportés au cours des douze mois précédents. La Nouvelle-Zélande est le plus grand exportateur de venaison d'élevage au monde. Dans les années 1970 et 1980, il existait une énorme industrie de récupération de cerfs vivants dans les zones forestières de Nouvelle-Zélande. Le cerf est un animal nuisible qui a un impact négatif sur la biodiversité de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Le premier cerf a été introduit en 1871 à Otago.

Les chèvres sont également élevées pour la viande, le lait, le mohair et pour lutter contre les mauvaises herbes.

Horticulture

La Nouvelle-Zélande compte environ 125 200 hectares de terres horticoles. Les exportations horticoles totales en 2019 se montaient à 6,2 milliards de dollars, dont 4,938 (79,6 %) proviennent de trois produits : les kiwis, le vin et les pommes.

Fruits
L'arboriculture fruitière occupe environ 68 300 ha de terres en 2017. Les cultures les plus importantes en termes de surface plantée sont les raisins de cuve (33 980 ha), les kiwis (11 700 ha), les pommes (8 620 ha), les avocats (3 980 ha), les baies (2 320 ha) et les fruits à noyau (2 140 ha).

Les raisins de cuve occupaient 39 935 ha de terres en 2020, les plus grandes régions étant Marlborough (27 808 ha), Hawke's Bay (5 034 ha) et Central Otago (1 930 ha). Les variétés les plus importantes sont le sauvignon blanc (25 160 ha), le pinot noir (5 642 ha), le chardonnay (3 222 ha), le pinot gris (2 593 ha) et le merlot (1 087 ha). Les exportations de vin s'élevaient à 1,807 milliard de dollars en 2019.

Le kiwi est principalement cultivé dans la baie de l'Abondance, notamment autour de Te Puke, mais est également cultivé en petites quantités dans les régions du Northland, d'Auckland, de Gisborne et de Tasman. Les fruits sont cueillis à l'automne (de mars à mai) et conservés en chambre froide jusqu'à leur vente ou leur exportation. La saison des kiwis néo-zélandais s'étend d'avril à décembre ; pendant la basse saison, les kiwis sont importés pour répondre à la demande intérieure. Il y a environ 2 750 producteurs de kiwis, produisant 157,7 millions de plateaux (567 720 tonnes) au cours des douze mois précédant juin 2019. Environ 545 800 tonnes de kiwis ont été exportées au cours de la même période pour une valeur de 2 302 millions de dollars, faisant du kiwi la plus grande exportation horticole en valeur de Nouvelle-Zélande.

Les pommes sont principalement cultivées dans les régions de Hawke's Bay et de Tasman. Les deux plus grands cultivars de pommes sont Royal Gala et Braeburn, suivis de Fuji, Scifresh (Jazz), Cripps Pink, Scired (Pacific Queen) et Scilate (Envy). Toutes ces variétés, à l'exception de la Fuji et de la Cripps Pink, ont été développées en Nouvelle-Zélande à partir de croisements ou, dans le cas de la Braeburn, d'un semis accidentel. Environ 12% des pommes sont consommées dans le pays, 28% sont transformées dans le pays (principalement en jus) et 60% sont exportées. Environ 395 000 tonnes de pommes, d'une valeur de 829 millions de dollars, ont été exportées au cours des douze mois précédant décembre 2019.

Les avocats sont principalement cultivés dans les zones subtropicales du Northland et de la baie de l'Abondance. Environ 60% de la récolte est exportée, avec 104,3 millions de dollars d'avocats exportés au cours de l'année jusqu'en décembre 2019.

Les fruits à noyau, notamment les pêches et les nectarines, les abricots, les prunes et les cerises, sont principalement cultivés à Central Otago et Hawke's Bay. Si les abricots et les cerises sont exportés, la plupart des fruits à noyau sont consommés dans le pays.

En 2019, les exportations de fruits frais se sont élevées à 3,392 milliards de dollars, tandis que les exportations de fruits transformés (hors vin) ont rapporté 138 millions de dollars.

Légumes
Les cultures maraîchères de plein air occupent environ 45 200 ha de terres en 2017, les cultures sous serre occupant 264 ha supplémentaires. Les cultures les plus importantes en termes de surface plantée sont les pommes de terre (9 450 ha), les oignons (6 010 ha), les courges (5 790 ha), les pois et les haricots (4 700 ha), le maïs doux (3 870 ha) et les choux (3 630 ha). Les cultures sous serre les plus importantes sont les tomates (84 ha) et les poivrons (61 ha).

Les régions d'Auckland (notamment Pukekohe), Manawatū-Whanganui (notamment Ohakune et le district de Horowhenua) et Canterbury sont les principales régions productrices de pommes de terre, d'oignons, de brassicacées (par exemple, le chou, le brocoli et le chou-fleur), de légumes à feuilles (par exemple, la laitue, la betterave et les épinards), de carottes et de panais. Le Southland cultive également une proportion importante de pommes de terre et de carottes, et les régions de Matamata à Waikato et Hawke's Bay cultivent également une proportion importante d'oignons. Les courges sont principalement cultivées à Gisborne et Hawke's Bay. Le maïs doux est principalement cultivé à Gisborne, Hawke's Bay, Marlborough et Canterbury. La kūmara (patate douce) est presque exclusivement cultivée dans le Northland.

En raison de leur courte durée de conservation, la plupart des légumes frais sont cultivés pour la consommation et la transformation intérieures, et ceux qui sont exportés servent principalement à approvisionner les nations insulaires voisines du Pacifique. Les plus grandes exportations de légumes sont des légumes frais à plus longue durée de vie, tels que les oignons et les courges, ainsi que des légumes transformés tels que les frites et les chips, et les pois, haricots et maïs doux congelés et en conserve. En 2019, les exportations de légumes frais étaient de 304 millions de dollars, tandis que les exportations de légumes transformés étaient de 396 millions de dollars.

Graines et fleurs
Les graines et les fleurs sont principalement cultivées dans les régions de Canterbury, Auckland, Otago et Southland. En 2019, la Nouvelle-Zélande a exporté pour 90 millions de dollars de graines, 43 millions de dollars de bulbes et de plantes vivantes, et 20 millions de dollars de fleurs coupées.

Terres arables

La quasi-totalité du foin et de l'ensilage est consommée dans la même exploitation que celle où ils sont produits. La plupart des cultures fourragères supplémentaires sont cultivées dans l'île du Sud, où le climat plus froid oblige à nourrir davantage le bétail pendant l'hiver.

Céréales
Les cultures céréalières occupent environ 124 000 hectares de terres en juin 2019. Les cultures les plus importantes en termes de surface plantée sont l'orge (55 500 ha), le blé (45 000 ha), le maïs (16 700 ha) et l'avoine (2 100 ha).

La majorité du blé, de l'orge et de l'avoine est cultivée dans l'île du Sud, dans les régions de Canterbury, Southland et Otago. À elle seule, la région de Canterbury produit environ 80 à 90 % du blé, 68 % de l'orge et 60 % de l'avoine du pays. En revanche, la quasi-totalité du maïs est cultivée dans l'île du Nord.

Le blé, l'orge et l'avoine sont cultivés à la fois pour la consommation humaine, le maltage et l'alimentation du bétail. Le maïs est cultivé pour l'alimentation animale ou pour l'ensilage.

Sylviculture

L'exploitation des vastes forêts indigènes de Nouvelle-Zélande a été l'une des premières industries mises en place lors de la colonisation du pays. Le bois dur, long et droit du kauri était idéal pour les mâts et les espars des navires. Au fur et à mesure de l'établissement de la nouvelle colonie, le bois était le matériau de construction le plus courant, et de vastes zones de forêt indigène ont été défrichées. Le Rimu, le tōtara, le matai et le miro étaient les bois privilégiés. Le pin de Monterrey, Pinus radiata, a été introduit en Nouvelle-Zélande dans les années 1850. Il y a trouvé des conditions favorables, atteignant sa maturité en 28 ans, bien plus rapidement que dans sa Californie natale. Il poussait bien dans le sol acide infertile du plateau volcanique, où les précédentes tentatives d'agriculture avaient échoué. Le gouvernement a commencé à planter des forêts exotiques en 1899 à Whakarewarewa, près de Rotorua. Il s'agissait de remédier aux pénuries croissantes de bois alors que d'œuvre, les forêts indigènes à croissance lente étant épuisées. Dans les années 1930, de vastes étendues de terres ont été plantées de Pinus radiata par les relief workers. La plus grande étendue était la forêt de Kāingaroa, d'une superficie de 188 000 hectares, la plus grande forêt de plantation au monde. Au fur et à mesure que les principales forêts arrivaient à maturité, des industries de transformation telles que les papeteries de Kinleith à Tokoroa et de Tasman à Kawerau ont été établies.

On trouve désormais des forêts de plantation de tailles diverses dans toutes les régions de Nouvelle-Zélande, à l'exception de Central Otago et de Fiordland. En 2006, leur superficie totale était de 1,8 million d'hectares, dont 89 % en Pinus radiata et 5 % en sapin de Douglas (Pseudotsuga menziesii). La récolte de grumes en 2006 était de 18,8 millions de m, en baisse par rapport aux 22,5 millions de m de 2003. Ce chiffre devrait atteindre 30 millions de m à mesure que les nouvelles forêts arriveront à maturité. La valeur de toutes les exportations forestières (grumes, copeaux, sciages, panneaux et papiers) pour les douze mois précédant le 31 mars 2006 était de 3,62 milliards de dollars néo-zélandais. Ce chiffre devrait atteindre 4,65 milliards de dollars d'ici 2011. L'Australie représente un peu plus de 25 % de la valeur des exportations, principalement des produits en papier, suivie du Japon, de la Corée du Sud, de la Chine et des États-Unis. Au sein de l'économie néo-zélandaise, l'industrie forestière représente environ 4 % du PIB national. Au plan mondial, la Nouvelle-Zélande est un contributeur relativement faible en termes de production, représentant 1 % de l'approvisionnement mondial en bois à des fins industrielles.

Aquaculture

L'aquaculture a débuté en Nouvelle-Zélande à la fin des années 1960 et est dominée par les moules, les huîtres et le saumon. En 2007, l'aquaculture a généré un chiffre d'affaires d'environ 360 millions de dollars néo-zélandais sur une superficie de 7 700 hectares, avec un total de 240 millions de dollars d'exportations. En 2006, l'industrie de l'aquaculture en Nouvelle-Zélande a élaboré une stratégie visant à atteindre un chiffre d'affaires durable d'un milliard de dollars néo-zélandais d'ici 2025. En 2007, le gouvernement a apporté un soutien accru à cette industrie en pleine croissance.

Apiculture
La Nouvelle-Zélande comptait à la fin de 2007 2 602 apiculteurs, qui possédaient 313 399 ruches. La production totale de miel était de 9700 tonnes. Du pollen, de la cire d'abeille et de la propolis sont également produits. Les apiculteurs fournissent des services de pollinisation aux horticulteurs, ce qui génère plus de revenus que les produits de l'apiculture. Environ vingt à vingt-cinq milles reines d'abeilles et 20 tonnes d'abeilles conditionnées (qui comprennent des abeilles ouvrières et une reine) sont exportées vivantes chaque année.

Agriculture biologique
Les activités d'agriculture biologique ont débuté à l'échelle commerciale dans les années 1980 et représentent aujourd'hui un segment croissant du marché, certaines grandes entreprises comme Wattie's (une filiale de Heinz) s'y étant engagées.

Problèmes environnementaux
Le peuple Māori et les colons européens ont tous deux apporté d'énormes changements à la Nouvelle-Zélande sur une période relativement courte. Les Māori brûlaient la forêt pour chasser le gibier et favoriser la croissance de la fougère comestible Pteridium esculentum, et pratiquaient l'agriculture en utilisant des plantes qu'ils avaient apportées de Polynésie tropicale. Les Européens ont exploité et brûlé un tiers du couvert forestier pour convertir les terres à l'agriculture.

En 1993, le National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (Institut national de recherche sur l'eau et l'atmosphère) a résumé les données disponibles sur la qualité de l'eau des rivières. Il a conclu que , reflétant . Les principaux contaminants identifiés dans les rivières de plaine étaient l'azote inorganique dissous, le phosphore réactif dissous et la contamination fécale. Les petits cours d'eau dans les zones de production laitière ont été identifiés comme étant en très mauvais état.

Les rivières et les lacs de Nouvelle-Zélande sont de plus en plus enrichis en nutriments et dégradés par l'azote, les matières fécales animales et les sédiments érodés. De nombreux cours d'eau sont désormais impropres à la baignade. Fish and Game New Zealand a lancé une campagne dénommée  (« laiterie sale ») pour mettre en évidence les effets de l'agriculture intensive sur les cours d'eau. Fonterra, la plus grande entreprise laitière de Nouvelle-Zélande, en collaboration avec des agences gouvernementales, a répondu par l'accord  (« Accord sur l'élevage laitier et les cours d'eau propres »). En 2009, le groupe d'exploitations laitières Crafar Farms, dans l'île du Nord, est devenu le « porte-drapeau des laiteries sales » après une série de poursuites devant le tribunal de l'environnement pour des rejets illégaux d'effluents laitiers.

En 2004, le Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment a publié un rapport sur les effets environnementaux de l'agriculture en Nouvelle-Zélande. Il a constaté que la tendance était à une pression croissante sur le capital naturel de la Nouvelle-Zélande. Entre 1994 et 2002, le nombre de vaches laitières a augmenté de 34 % et la superficie des terres utilisées n'a augmenté que de 12 %, ce qui se traduit par une utilisation plus intensive des terres. Au cours de la même période, l'utilisation d'engrais synthétiques dans tous les secteurs a augmenté de 21 % et celle de l'urée de 160 %.

Près de la moitié des émissions de gaz à effet de serre en Nouvelle-Zélande sont dues au secteur agricole. Une partie de ces émissions est due au méthane provenant des éructations des ruminants. Une taxe pour la recherche sur les émissions agricoles a été proposée, devenant rapidement connue sous le nom de  (« taxe sur les pets »). Mais elle s'est heurtée à l'opposition du secteur agricole et du Parti national, ce qui a entraîné l'abandon du projet. Le Pastoral Greenhouse Gas Research Consortium (Consortium de recherche agricole sur les gaz à effet de serre) a été créé comme alternative à l'imposition de la taxe aux agriculteurs.

Bioagresseurs
L'introduction en Nouvelle-Zélande d'un certain nombre d'espces de plantes et d'animaux a réduit les revenus de l'agriculture. Des contrôles stricts aux frontières visant à améliorer la biosécurité ont été mis en place, afin de s'assurer que de nouvelles espèces nuisibles et maladies indésirables n'entrent pas dans le pays. Une surveillance est effectuée autour de la mer et des aéroports pour vérifier toute introduction.

Animaux ravageurs

Le phalanger-renard a été introduit depuis l'Australie pour le commerce de fourrure. Il est rapidement devenu l'une des espèces envahissantes les plus problématiques de la Nouvelle-Zélande en raison de l'effet considérable qu'il a sur la biodiversité du pays, ainsi que sur la production agricole, car il est un vecteur de la tuberculose bovine. La maladie est désormais endémique chez ces opossums sur environ 38 % du territoire néo-zélandais (dites « zones à risque de vecteur »). Dans ces zones, près de 70 % des nouvelles infections de troupeaux peuvent être attribuées aux phalanger ou aux furets. Le Biosecurity Act 1993 (loi de 1993 sur la biosécurité), qui a établi une stratégie nationale de lutte contre les parasites, est la législation qui encadre le contrôle de la maladie en Nouvelle-Zélande. L'Animal Health Board (AHB) met en œuvre un programme national de tests sur le bétail et de contrôle des opossums dans le but d'éradiquer la tuberculose des espèces vectrices sauvages sur 2,5 millions d'hectares - soit un quart - des zones à risque de Nouvelle-Zélande d'ici 2026 et, à terme, d'éradiquer complètement la maladie.

Les phalangers sont contrôlés par une combinaison de piégeages, d'appâts au sol et, lorsque les autres méthodes sont peu praticables, par un traitement aérien au fluoroacétate de sodium.

De 1979 à 1984, la lutte contre les opossums a été interrompue en raison du manque de financement. Malgré des tests de tuberculose réguliers et fréquents sur les troupeaux de bovins, le nombre de troupeaux infectés a fait boule de neige et a continué à augmenter jusqu'en 1994. Les zones de Nouvelle-Zélande où l'on trouve des animaux sauvages atteints de tuberculose sont passées d'environ 10 à 40 %.

Le fait que les phalangers transmettent si efficacement la tuberculose semble être facilité par leur comportement lorsqu'ils succombent à la maladie. Les opossums atteints de tuberculose en phase terminale ont un comportement de plus en plus erratique. Ils s'aventurent dans la journée pour trouver de la nourriture et cherchent des bâtiments pour se réchauffer. En conséquence, ils peuvent errer dans les enclos, où ils attirent naturellement l'attention du bétail et des cerfs curieux. Ce comportement a pu être filmé.

La bernache du Canada, autre espèce introduite, est devenue très abondante et a commencé à nuire aux pâturages et aux cultures. En 2011, les restrictions sur leur chasse ont été levées pour permettre leur abattage.

Ravageurs des plantes
L'ajonc a été introduit en tant que plante de haie, mais il est devenu le parasite végétal le plus coûteux, entraînant des millions de dollars de frais pour lutter contre sa propagation sur les terres agricoles.

Le chardon penché (Carduus nutans), le chardon de Californie (Cirsium arvense), le séneçon (Senecio jacobaea), le genêt à balais (Cytisus scoparius), la renoncule âcre (Ranunculus acris), le chénopode blanc (Chenopodium album), la renouée persicaire (Polygonum persicaria) et l'épervière (espèce de Hieracium) sont d'autres ravageurs importants des pâturages et des cultures.

Biosécurité
En raison de son isolement géographique, la Nouvelle-Zélande est exempte de certains parasites et maladies qui sont problématiques pour la production agricole d'autres pays. Avec un niveau élevé d'échanges internationaux et un grand nombre de touristes, la biosécurité est d'une grande importance, car tout nouveau parasite ou toute nouvelle maladie introduits dans le pays pourraient avoir un effet considérable sur l'économie de la Nouvelle-Zélande, étant donné que les produits agricoles représentent une part importante des exportations.

La Nouvelle-Zélande a mis en place des mesures strictes de biosécurité pour empêcher l'introduction de parasites et de maladies indésirables.

Avant 2017, il n'y avait jamais eu d'épidémie de fièvre aphteuse en Nouvelle-Zélande. En 2017, certains bovins près d'Oamaru, dans l'île du Sud, se sont révélés positifs à Mycoplasma bovis. À la date du 16 décembre 2022, 179 355 têtes de bétail avaient été abattues depuis le début de l'épidémie, et six fermes étaient encore touchées par ce parasite, toutes situées dans le Canterbury.

Révision du régime foncier
De nombreuses zones des hautes terres de l'île du Sud ont été aménagées en grandes stations d'élevage de moutons et de bétail à la fin du 19e siècle. La plupart de ces terres étaient louées à la Couronne, mais après l'adoption de la loi de 1998 sur les terres d'élevages de la Couronne (« Crown Pastoral Land Act 1998 »), les baux ont été revus. Les écologistes et les universitaires se sont inquiétés du processus, affirmant que les agriculteurs obtenaient un avantage et que les problèmes de conservation n'étaient pas résolus. Les agriculteurs craignaient que les écologistes et les universitaires utilisent le processus de révision des baux pour verrouiller les terres à des fins de conservation sans tenir compte des droits de propriété des agriculteurs ni planifier la gestion future de ces terres. De nombreuses terres ont été dégradées par des parasites et des mauvaises herbes depuis qu'elles ont été retirées de l'agriculture ne sont plus cultivées.

Acteurs politiques
Le Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), l'agence gouvernementale responsable du secteur agricole, dispose à la fois d'organes politiques et opérationnels.

Federated Farmers, un groupe de pression important et influent, représente les intérêts des agriculteurs. En 2021, elle compte 13 000 membres.

La Soil & Health Association of New Zealand, créée en 1941, promeut l'alimentation et l'agriculture biologiques.

Le New Zealand Young Farmers, une organisation nationale créée en 1927 avec des clubs régionaux dans tout le pays, organise le concours annuel des jeunes agriculteurs.

Irrigation New Zealand, un organisme national représentant les agriculteurs qui utilisent l'irrigation et les industriels de l'irrigation, s'oppose aux ordonnances de conservation de l'eau.

Acquisition de terres par des étrangers
Près de 180 000 hectares de terres agricoles ont été achetés ou loués par des investisseurs étrangers entre 2010 et 2021. Les États-Unis sont la plus grande nation propriétaire de terres en Nouvelle-Zélande, devant la Chine.

Il existe une opposition à la détention de terres en Nouvelle-Zélande par des étrangers. Le parti populiste New Zealand First est le plus grand parti opposé à la propriété étrangère. Selon un sondage réalisé en 2011, 82 % des personnes interrogées pensaient que la possession des fermes et des terres agricoles par des non Néo-Zélandais était une « mauvaise chose ». Seuls 10 % pensaient que c'était une « bonne chose » et 8 % étaient indécis.

Avenir de l'agriculture néo-zélandaise
Il existe deux points de vue principaux sur l'avenir immédiat de l'agriculture néo-zélandaise. Le premier est que, en raison de l'augmentation rapide de la demande des consommateurs en Inde et en Chine, le monde entre dans un âge d'or pour les matières premières, et que la Nouvelle-Zélande est bien placée pour en tirer parti. L'autre point de vue est que la Nouvelle-Zélande ne tirera que des bénéfices limités de ce boom en raison de la concurrence croissante de la production des pays en développement. Pour que la Nouvelle-Zélande reste compétitive, les agriculteurs devront soit intensifier leur production pour rester des producteurs de matières premières (en augmentant les stocks et les engrais par hectare), soit devenir des producteurs de produits à plus forte valeur ajoutée et plus personnalisés.

AgResearch Ltd (le plus grand institut de recherche néo-zélandais du secteur public) estime que les nouvelles technologies permettront aux agriculteurs néo-zélandais de doubler leur production d'ici à 2020, tout en réduisant simultanément les émissions de gaz à effet de serre et les autres impacts environnementaux néfastes associés aux pratiques agricoles.

Impact sur la culture néo-zélandaise
Les campagnes néo-zélandaises ont influencé la culture du pays.

Country Calendar est une émission de télévision sur la la vie à la campagne et les méthodes agricoles, regardée par les Néo-Zélandais ruraux et urbains. L'émission a été diffusée pour la première fois le 6 mars 1966 et est la série télévisée locale la plus ancienne du pays.

La gumboot, une botte imperméable couramment utilisée par les agriculteurs et autres, est une icône culturelle, Taihape organisant chaque année un « Gumboot Day ». Fred Dagg, un personnage comique créé par John Clarke, était un fermier stéréotypé portant un débardeur noir, un short et des gumboots.

Le cable « numéro 8 » (dans la Standard Wire Gauge) est utilisé pour les clôtures et fait désormais partie du lexique culturel. Il est utilisé pour toutes sortes de tâches et il décrit la mentalité de bricoleur des Néo-Zélandais.

Salons agricoles
Le salon annuel Agricultural and Pastoral (A&P), qui a lieu chaque année dans de nombreuses villes rurales, organise des concours des meilleurs animaux d'élevage et de produits agricoles. Des carnavals, des spectacles forains, des manifestations équestres et des concours d'artisanat se déroulent également en association avec les expositions A&P.

Q: Spectral measure under unitary transform How do I see that if $T$ is a self-adjoint operator with spectral measure $E$ that this implies that $UTU^*$ has the spectral measure $UEU^*?$ Is there an easy way to see this? Somehow I believe that this must be a very simple fact, but I currently do not see how to show it without referring to anything else but the spectral theorem and the functional calculus. In particular, I do not want to use any resolvent formulas (like Stone's one).

A: If $T$ is selfadjoint with spectral measure $E$, then
$$
                         T = \int \lambda dE(\lambda).
$$
If $E'$ is a spectral measure such that $T=\int\lambda dE'(\lambda)$, then $E'=E$ by uniqueness of spectral measures.
If $U$ is unitary, then $U^*TU$ is selfadjoint, and
$$
                    U^*TU = \int \lambda d(U^*EU).
$$
Because $U^*EU$ is a spectral measure and $U^*TU$ is selfadjoint, then $U^*EU$ is the spectral measure associated with $U^*TU$ because of uniqueness of spectral measures.

How is Taoism practiced today?
Today, Taoism is one of five official recognized religions in the People's Republic of China. The government regulates its activities through the Chinese Taoist Association. However, Taoism is practiced without government involvement in Taiwan, where it claims millions of adherents.
What is the core teaching of Taoism?
The core teaching of Taoism is becoming one with ' Tao. 'It is the chief philosophy of the Taoist that becoming one with the Tao, or the life force of the universe, brings peace and harmony to them. 2. Tao stands for the principle that is both the source and the design of development of all that exists.
What is the belief of Taoism regarding the purpose of life?
In Taoism (also commonly written as Daoism ), the purpose of life is inner peace and harmony. Tao is usually translated as "way" or "path." The founder of the religion is generally recognized to be a man named Laozi, who lived sometime in the sixth century B.C.E. in China.

Does Taoism believe in God?
Taoism does not have a God in the way that the Abrahamic religions do. There is no omnipotent being beyond the cosmos, who created and controls the universe. Nonetheless, Taoism has many gods, most of them borrowed from other cultures. These deities are within this universe and are themselves subject to the Tao.
You might be interested: Question: How Should We Treat Others Taoism?
How do you practice Taoism?
But unlike most religions, modern philosophical Taoism does not require any specific form of belief or initiation. Becoming a Taoist can be as simple as reading Taoist texts to become familiar with Taoist beliefs. Certain practices – like attending temple, observing feng shui, and meditating – are considered Taoist.
What are the three types of Taoism?
Taoism has never been a unified religion, and has constantly consisted of a combination of teachings based on a variety of original revelations. Within the Daoist tradition, one can distinguish three types of organization and practice: literati, communal, and self-cultivation.
What Is Good Life According to Taoism?
The Taoist ideal is for a person to take action by changing themselves, and thus becoming an example of the good life to others. They should develop themselves so that they live their life in complete harmony with the universe. So the philosophy is not do good things; but become a good person.
What happens when we die According to Taoism?
The process of death itself is described as shijie or "release from the corpse", but what happens after is described variously as transformation, immortality or ascension to heaven.
You might be interested: Often asked: What Does The Moon Represent In Taoism?
What is the moral code of Taoism?
Harmony is the most important moral precept in Taoism. Taoism forbids actions that would violate this balance, such as murder, lying and promiscuity. Similarly, Taoist morality emphasizes self-control, and followers should avoid letting their desires compel them toward action.

Using Audit Techniques Can Help You Shape Your Future
Kelly Buchheit, CPA
Whether or not a not-for-profit organization engages an independent auditor, an organization can employ moves from an auditor's playbook to gain a better understanding of its overall revenue picture. Techniques, such as analyzing year-over-year trends and benchmarking to other not-for-profit organizations, can be extremely useful in planning both your short-term and long-term future.
Review Donor Trends
Most not-for-profit organizations rely on donor contributions to balance their budgets. An easy way to utilize trend analyses is to compare the dollars raised in the current fiscal year to the past 3-5 years to see if you can pinpoint any trends. For example, have individual contributions reached a plateau in recent years? Have there been any targeted fundraising campaigns launched during that period?
Go beyond the dollar totals and analyze the volume and mix of donors. For example, did the number of major donors — say, those who give $1,000 or more annually — fluctuate compared to past years? Have you offset major donor losses with a new sponsorship or grant? If you have been experiencing losses of major donors, do you need to adjust your fundraising approach?
In addition, an analysis of the type of contributions, restricted or unrestricted, received from donors can be a useful fundraising tool. If you discover that your organization has a large percentage of donations tied up in restricted funds, you might want to re-evaluate your gift acceptance policy. You also might want to review your fundraising materials to ensure that the organization is pursuing contributions that give the organization the most flexibility, such as, contributions for general operations.
Size Up Grant Funding
Grant revenue includes funding from corporate, foundation and governmental sources. Grants can vary dramatically in size and purpose, from grants that cover operational costs, to funding for a new program, to payment for providing specific services to clients.
Pay attention to trends here, as well. For instance, did a particular funder supply 50% of total revenue in 2014, 75% in 2015 and 80% in 2016? A growing reliance on a single funding source is an example of a revenue "concentration," which acts as a red flag to auditors, and it should be to you, too. When an organization is heavily concentrated with one or two funding sources, there will be always be the risk that your organization might be forced to find new founding sources, end a program or even shut down operations entirely, should that funding source experience severe losses on its end.
Consider Service Fees, Membership Dues
Fees earned from clients or other third parties can be similar to fees that for-profit organizations earn. Fees are generally viewed as exchange transactions, because the client receives something of value in exchange for its payment. Some not-for-profit organizations charge fees on a sliding scale based on income or ability to pay. In other cases, fees, such as rent paid by low-income individuals, are subject to legal limitations set by government funding agencies.
On an ongoing basis, the organization should be assessing the sustainability of its services. In other words, are the fees generated from the services enough to cover the costs of providing those services? For instance, a fee scale for medical services established several years ago may no longer be sufficient to cover costs. A decision must then be made to either raise the fees charged or discontinue the services altogether. This same example can be applied to membership organizations that charge membership dues. Has membership grown or declined in recent years, and how do your dues compare with similar groups? Is the organization charging enough dues to support its program expenses and general operations?
Apply the Knowledge
Remember: analytics should not be thought of as simply a financial tool. Once you have honed your analytical skills on the financial side, apply those tools to other aspects of your organization, such as developing metrics for patients serviced or employee performance. Applying this knowledge across the organization can help management and the board of directors make more informed business decisions throughout the year and for the future.

High Net Worth Donors: Generous with Their Money and Time
Donors from households with net assets of $1 million or more — or those that bring home at least $200,000 annually — on average made donations totaling $25,509 in 2015 compared to an average of $2,124 from the general population, according to the 2016 U.S. Trust® Study of High Net Worth Philanthropy. And, on average, these high net worth households gave to eight different not-for-profit organizations. Also, wealthy donors who volunteered gave 56% more, on average, than those who did not volunteer. And, 83% of wealthy donors plan to give as much or more in the next three years.
IRS Releases FY 2016 Compliance Results
In its Tax Exempt and Government Entities FY 2017 Work Plan, the IRS reported on the nearly 5,000 examinations of exempt organizations it conducted in the 2016 fiscal year. The exams focused on five issues: Exemption (including nonexempt purpose activity and private inurement); protection of assets (including self-dealing and excess benefit transactions); the tax gap related to areas where a nonprofit is subject to a tax (including employment taxes and unrelated business income taxes); international transactions (including oversight of funds spent outside the United States); and emerging issues (including nonexempt charitable trusts). In FY 2016, the IRS revoked the status of 43 organizations — almost two-thirds of these were revoked for not operating for an exempt purpose.
Board Service Boosts Careers
Do you need an enticement for attracting high-quality board members? As a recent Wall Street Journal article points out: "Executives are doing good for others — and good for their careers — by joining boards of nonprofit organizations." The article says that more executives are looking to serve on boards of not-for-profit organizations because "they operate in an increasingly competitive and networked world … and the experience builds their networking further." Not-for-profit board experience also can help executives strengthen their leadership skills and give them opportunities to demonstrate abilities they are not able to show at work, such as strategic planning or fundraising.
Do Most Not-For-Profit Organizations Benefit from Mergers?
In a recent study, 88% of not-for-profit organizations involved in a merger felt that their organization was better off post-merger in terms of achieving organizational goals and increasing impact. So discovered a team of Northwestern University researchers who studied 25 not-for-profit mergers in the Chicago area (and four cases that ultimately did not result in mergers). Interviews with participants found that the most successful mergers were mission-driven and motivated by the desire to provide higher-quality services or to expand into new areas.

What is the best thing that I love about my work? I am a clarinet player and teacher. The best thing about my work, both playing concerts and teaching, is to be able to communicate music to different people, from very young to adults. To express myself and communicate is for me a necessity.
What is my idea of perfect happiness? To find a balance between my needs and wishes and those of the people I love.


Tain Museum Image Library - Rosehill.
This picture was taken outside Rosehill House in 1902. The people in the photo were the parents of a Mr George Murray.
I'm the present owner/occupier of Rosehill House (since 1988). The house in the picture is not actually Rosehill House, it is the neighbouring property now known as Craigneish, formerly called Rosehill Cottage. It is currently occupied by Mr Hugh Ross and family, Hugh's father Kenneth restored the building from a derelict state about 35 years ago.
Thanks for that information. As I have pointed out before, many of our photos were acquired a long time ago with very little information to go on. Someone obviously wrote "Rosehill" on the back of the photo without making the distinction and with the name "Craigneish" being used for the last 35 years it was assumed ther was only the one house named "Rosehill". This is one of the reasons for posting our photos on the Image Library - to hopefully gain more information about them. If you know any more about the history of the two houses, we would be grateful if you would pass the information on. One thing we do know is that Rosehill House was once called Cnocnacaun (with several variations to the spelling) as was the hill now known as Rosehill - whether it was the same building or another on that location is not so certain.
My parents (Gordon and Maisie Kinghorn, nee Forsyth) owned and lived in Rosehill house - I was a regular visitor in the seventies and eighties. The house in the picture, about half way up the driveway, was abandoned at the time.
