Judicial legislation invented to force a prime minister to fire ministers belongs to an entirely different category.
The recent Jerusalem Post editorial “Judicial activism – the lesser evil” criticizes the views expressed in my book The Purse and the Sword – The Trials of Israel’s Legal Revolution while extolling a long list of Supreme Court decisions. I am afraid that my position has been misunderstood. In my view, judicial activism may be justified in some instances but is unacceptable when it disregards reasonable Knesset legislation, assumes that everything is justiciable, ignores the separation of powers and turns the court into a player in the political and governmental arena.
The distinction between different types of judicial activism can be demonstrated by reference to two lines of cases, both discussed in my book and both equally praised in your editorial. In one of them the court recognized converts by non-Orthodox streams of Judaism who underwent their conversions abroad as coming within the Law of Return. In the other the court “force[d] a prime minister to fire ministers even though the law does not require him to do so.” These cases raise completely different issues. The conversion cases are concerned with a legitimate and reasonable interpretation of Knesset legislation and I fully support the result reached.
But judicial legislation invented to force a prime minister to fire ministers belongs to an entirely different category.
It is a political issue that does not concern human rights in any way. The court’s slide into determining the composition of the government constituted a grave violation of the separation of powers and led it straight into the political arena. The question is not whether the result is good or popular but whether the court was allowed to legislate criteria regarding the composition of the cabinet.
Rabin desperately needed Shas to remain in the coalition, especially as the government was then engaged in the highly sensitive and crucial negotiations – those relating to the Oslo agreements.
Nevertheless, at this most inopportune moment the Supreme Court invented a new, vague rule under which it could order the prime minister to fire a minister if the court considered it unreasonable not to do so.
The author was the Minister of Justice from 2007-2009 and a professor at Tel Aviv University.

Smoked Shrimp and Lobster (step by step) | Smoking Meat Forums - The Best Barbecue Discussion Forum On Earth!
I always clean my shrimp. The thought of eating gritty shrimp poop has never appealed to me. I have cleaned them in just about every possible way. This is my current favorite. I use a stainless steel medium sized pair of scissors and snip through the top of the shell, with the pointy sharp end roughly in the center of the shrimp. The shell can then be removed (or not).
You should have exposed the vein that runs the length of the shrimp. It is simple to remove. Gently running water really helps the cleaning process.
your guests. Because I am going to smoke these guys, I took a very direct approach and whacked them in half, lengthwise. Easy to get the vein out, No?
I then took a 9X9 aluminum pan and melted a stick of margarine in it. I then added about 1/2 tbsp each of Old Bay, granulated garlic, granulated onion and black pepper. I then added the juice of one large fresh lemon. In the interim, I brought my smoker up to 230 degrees and laid on the cherry wood. I then put the shrimp and lobster in the pan and mixed it up good. I shook on some more Old Bay to add color and a little flavor. Into the smoker it went and stayed there for 2 1/2 hours.
When I approached the end of the smoking, I whipped up some Jasmine rice. The Shrimp and lobster came out of the smoker and onto a bed of the rice. Ladle a bunch of the juice over it and eat! Very easy to make and tasty!
Wow, i am going to do that this weekend, looks great!
Awesome information, thanks for posting!

Pierro Le Cheminant fishing on his trawler, Amy Blue, at the northern end of the Big Russel to the north of Sark, Bailiwick of Guernsey lowered his trawl in about 30 metres of water on the afternoon of 30 May 2012. His net accidentally caught the edge of a reef.
He retrieved his net which produced a couple of john dory, Zeus faber, a lobster, a hand grenade, and a sailfin or silver dory, Zenopsis conchifer.
The hand grenade was disposed of quickly but the silver dory was retained and landed in St Peter Port harbour on 31 May.
The silver or sailfin dory and the john dory have a family resemblance but they are quite different in many ways.
Besides the obvious skin colour difference, and the lack of a black mark on the side of the silver dory, the two fish differ in the profile of the slope of the head. In the john dory it is straight or slightly convex with a notch above the eye, whereas the silver dory has a concave profile above the eye.
The silver or sailfin dory, Zenopsis conchifer, has a widespread distribution.
In the western North Atlantic where it is known as the buckler dory, it is found off Virginia and as far north as the Gulf of Maine.
It appears occasionally for sale at Fulton Fish Market in New York City.
It lives off Argentina and Uruguay in the south-west Atlantic, and in the Indian Ocean where it is found along the coast from South Africa to Somalia, and off the south-west coast of India.
In the eastern Atlantic it lives along the African coast as far south as South Africa. It is a deep water fish living along the outer continental shelf over the continental slope.
Dr Jean-Claude Quero and colleagues writing in the ‘Annales de la Société des Sciences Naturelles de la Charente-Maritime‘ states that the silver dory is mesopelagic, a poor swimmer, and lives close to the bottom.
In 1966 two small silver dory of about 17 to 18 cm long where caught off the south-west tip of Portugal. These were the first records of the fish in European waters.
Dr. Jean-Claude Quero, a scientist formerly at IFREMER, in La Rochelle, recorded 34 captures of the silver dory off the Atlantic coast of Europe between 1966 and 1995 in water depths of 100 to 500 metres.
Over about the last 50 years the silver or sailfin dory has been captured at higher and higher northern latitudes.
In 1970 the first silver dory catch was reported off north-west Spain, and in 1975 a specimen was captured in the Bay of Biscay.
In 1980 a capture was made off the west coast of Ireland and another to the north-west of Ireland in 1993.
Declan Quigley wrote a paper on the three dory species (john dory, silver dory and red dory) found in European seas. He wrote there was an influx of the silver or sailfin dory in Irish waters between 1993 and 1995. He also reported a record of a capture of this species off Iceland in 2002.
Not only is this fish moving north but it seems to be growing in abundance in southern latitudes.
Formerly it was rare but Dr Quero reported that Moroccan boats were fishing for it in deeper water.
Pierro Le Chemant’s silver dory was gutted and kept on ice. On 31 May 2012 it had a gutted weight of 953 grams and a total length of 475 mm. The peritoneum of the abdomen was heavily parasitised with worms.
According to a report by Doug Herdson, the first confirmed silver dory was caught in British waters on 29 August 29, 1995.
Another silver dory was trawled six miles west of Wolf Rock, Cornwall on 23 September 2002. This specimen was 38 cm long and had a gutted weight of 550 grams.
The silver or sailfin dory, Zenopsis conchifer, is is one of many fish species that has been reported moving north as a consequence of a warming ocean, and possibly available ecological niches.
This fish joins the almaco jack, the Guinean amberjack, the two-banded bream, and the white bream as recently arrived in Guernsey waters.

It took us 7 hours, a taxi ride, a bus ride, another taxi, a ferry and one more taxi to reach our hostel in Koh Chang.. but the journey was worth it.
I’m am currently writing from the deck of our tent, on top of a cliff, overlooking this view. It’s breathtaking, and Nick gets all the credit for finding this little gem.
Cliff Cottage is located near the fishing village of Bang Bao. It’s a quiet hostel with not much to do except gaze at the view. We are sleeping in a giant tent equipped with a full size mattress, a pop up closet, an ice bucket and an outlet. What more could you ever need?
Last night we noticed a bunch of people watching the sunset from a wooden walkway across the inlet so tonight we decided to check it out. After making our way through the jungle, up some stairs and around the cliff, we found ourselves at the end of the path and stumbled up on what appeared to be a mirage. A man standing behind a table serving drinks! He didn’t seem to be working for any of the hotels nearby so we think he might just set up there at night.
The drinks were a little more expensive than we’ve been used to, but we couldn’t pass up this opportunity. We grabbed ourselves a few cocktails and sat own on the deck to watch the sunset. It was magical, definitely a top 10 favorite life moment.
Also, he made the best mojitos I’ve ever had in my life.

What the internet looks like to users in the U.S. can be quite different from the online experience of people in other countries.
Some of those variations are due to government censorship of online services, which is a significant threat to internet freedom worldwide. But private companies – many based in the U.S. – are also building obstacles to users from around the world who want to freely explore the internet.
We also found that many websites are taking advantage of geoblocking services provided by their hosting companies and online middleman firms called content delivery networks. These companies operate systems that preload web content at key locations around the world to speed service to nearby internet users, so an Australian looking for an article in the Washington Post doesn’t have to wait for the request to travel halfway around the world and back. With a content delivery network, there’s already an up-to-date electronic copy of the Washington Post stored in, say, Sydney.
Many content delivery network services include a dashboard where a site administrator can easily select which countries to deliver the website’s information to – and which ones to block. Content delivery networks in general are a lot cheaper than they used to be, which means more and more website operators are getting their hands on simple geoblocking tools.
In fact, based on data that were provided to us by Cloudflare, one of the world’s largest content delivery networks, this trend is only increasing. As of August 2018, more than 37% of Cloudflare’s large-business customers block their website in at least one country.
Sometimes an unavailable website is merely an inconvenience – I can’t order my Irish friends a pizza from the U.S., for example. Other times geoblocking can really cause problems. We encountered an Iranian student who couldn’t apply to graduate school abroad because the admissions website wouldn’t accept payment of the application fee from Iran. Another person may be unable to read the news from a major international city, or plan a trip abroad because travel websites are all unavailable from their home.
Restricting access based on geography is unlikely to affect all internet users equally. As when evading censorship, getting around a geoblock isn’t necessarily difficult. But it might be expensive, expose users to additional tracking of their online activity, or require a level of technical literacy that not everyone has. Even if a user can ultimately access the content they were originally denied, they may bear a significant burden to gain access to the wider internet.
It’s also not easy – or necessarily accurate – to identify an internet user’s physical location. Using a computer’s numeric IP address to estimate where in the world it’s being used is notoriously unreliable. At least some users are likely being unfairly denied access to online services because their network address is determined to be somewhere they are not. However, rather than expanding the accessibility and accuracy of geoblocking, our group is encouraging researchers to address the needs of websites while maintaining as open an access policy as possible.
The internet has indelibly changed the world and the way people connect and do business. Researchers are working hard to keep this valuable resource available to everyone. Companies shouldn’t thwart those efforts by discriminating against users only because of where they are when they connect.

Most logos can be engraved in a outline format. Digitizing of the logo (if needed) is typically $35 - $65 depending on the complexity of the logo. Please email us the logo at info@idoengravables.com to have logo reviewed and digitizing quoted. Once digitized we will keep your logo on file for future use at no additional cost.
The most important aspect of the submitted logo is the quality of the image. Images with clean, sharp, high contrast lines are ideal. In general, larger image sizes convert easier and better than do smaller ones. Bit mapped images (.bmp, .jpg, .gif) submitted should be 700 or greater pixels wide. (Note: You may need to "Zip" or compress large format images, in order to get them through your email system.) Vector files can be submitted in nearly any size.
If you've done any print advertising, then you most likely have access to a quality image, which would be suitable for engraving. The ideal image format is a "one bit" vector image (.eps, .ai, .cdr). If a "camera ready", black and white image is not available, please submit the best image you have. Best meaning, the largest and cleanest. Smooth lines make for cleaner engraving. Images may be submitted in .ai, .psd, .cdr, .eps, .bmp, .jpg, or .gif format, again we're looking for the best image you have.

An environmental love story about sustainability and the cycle of life – where the simple life is never as easy as it seems.
Eight years in the making, this intimate, funny and uplifting film features Suzy and her adventurer husband Jon Muir who live a simple life off the grid — growing organic fruit and vegetables and caring for their chooks and sheep.
But the simple life is never as easy as it seems. When all seems perfect something changes their world and life takes an unexpected turn. With bravery and conviction Suzy and Jon confront perhaps their greatest challenge yet, and consider taking the road less travelled.
SUZY & THE SIMPLE MAN is a modest story with big questions at its heart: our relationship to each other, to nature and to other creatures, the care of the planet and ourselves, and confronting our own mortality.

Thirteen infants and five pregnant mothers on the remote Pacific island of Vanuatu became the first people to be immunized with vaccines delivered by commercial drone.
The drones traveled 40 km across mountainous terrain to get to the Cook's Bay area on the island of Erromango. The 25-minute trip would have taken hours by foot or boat. The vaccines, including those for tuberculosis and polio, will help improve health outcomes for Vanuatu, a Pacific island nation, with about 280,000 people spread across roughly 80 islands.
Vanuatu represents one of the poorest regions in the world where 28 of every 1,000 children pass away before the age of five and only one in five children are fully vaccinated.
Vaccines need to be kept at specific temperatures and are thus normally difficult to transport. During the relatively short drone flight, they were kept in Styrofoam boxes with ice-packs and a temperature sensor.
The use of the technology marks a giant leap for global health and could represent the beginning of wider use of drone delivery for various humanitarian purposes.
"With the world still struggling to immunize the hardest to reach children, drone technologies can be a game changer for bridging that last mile to reach every child," said UNICEF executive director Henrietta Fore.

After losing my parents, and sifting through the memorabilia in the attic of our family home, so many questions surfaced that I was compelled to delve into my genealogy to find the answers. My research uncovered amazing stories, plus helped me to identify unlabeled photos. With my newfound knowledge, I created photo albums, placing the photos in attractive, expensive, sticky-page albums. Within ten years, I was aware of the damage being done to my precious photos. The pictures needed to be preserved; yet I was ignorant of the proper storage methods.
Fortunately, my daughter was introduced by some friends to scrapbooking. She was trying to explain this process on the telephone while simultaneously sending me to Web sites illustrating what she was describing to me. I knew instantly that I had to become involved in this hobby. It was essential to redo my genealogy albums, and the idea of journaling in the albums was such a fabulous idea! There are so many stories to be told about my family history which will be lost again if I do not record the stories.
One can preserve and journal photos on plain pages, but the decorative aspect of the hobby is what makes it addictive. Artistic people produce outstanding layouts. The rest of us discover that we have more creativity within us than we realized as we attempt to copy ideas from the masters of the art, altering the patterns to our own schemes. Anyone can create pages which are works of loving artistry. I am more shocked than anyone that I, a non-crafter, am having so much fun with paper, glue, and scissors!

I hope that 2009 has started off well, and that this is going to be a wonderful year for you.
I have just returned from my two week trip to The USA, where I visited Austin, Texas for the “Attract Wealth 2” Seminar, and afterwards, I spent a week in New York City.
At the “Attract Wealth 2” Seminar, I spent an amazing weekend with like minded people from all around The USA, and it was great to catch up with participants and speakers that I had met and become friends with at the first “Attract Wealth Seminar” in May 2008.
Each speaker at the weekend shared personal insights into how they have worked on their “inner game” to get them to where they are now in life, and I learned something valuable from each speaker.
The energy throughout the entire weekend was amazing, and people were so moved by all the information that was shared, that EVERY speaker received a standing ovation at the end of their talks.
Both Dr. Joe Vitale and Mark Ryan went out of their way to welcome me to their event, and I am especially happy about all the new and existing relationships that have manifested as a result of me attending both the “Attract Wealth” Seminars in The USA.
I know that this has been one of the best investments that I have ever made in myself, and it was an experience that I will never forget.
After the Seminar, I flew to New York City, where I spend one week with a friend of mine Manhattan.
It was fantastic to be able to spend this week in Manhattan, touring The City by foot and Subway, and reflecting on all the concepts that I learned at the “Attract Wealth 2” Seminar just the weekend before.
I tried my best to remember to be internally doing my Ho’oponopono cleaning on a moment to moment basis, and constantly played with the idea that: “There is No out there”.
Ho’oponopono and the “Attract Wealth” Seminars have taught me that my success has a lot more to do with my thoughts and inner beliefs about money and success, than I ever realized, and I am very grateful to be able to be starting off 2009 having just reminded myself about these key points.
I look very forward to keeping in touch with you this year, and if there is ever anyway that I can be of assistance to you, please let me know.
P.S. I have some very exciting NEW Self-Hypnosis – Ho’oponopono audio products I am working on that I will be telling you about soon.

The media have spent a great deal of time in the last few years highlighting the money paid out to people on Social Security disability. Associated Press was on the job again yesterday with an article that highlighted four administrative judges employed by the Social Security Administration who approve almost all the cases that are brought to them. There are many important facts that are left out of this piece.
First, these judges were deliberately selected by the House Oversight Committee because they were outliers who approve a high percentage of the cases brought to them. The Social Security Administration has almost 1400 administrative judges. Undoubtedly many are also outliers on the other side, denying most of the cases brought to them. A serious news story would have pointed out that these judges are atypical.
"Lifetime benefits average about $300,000, according to the report, so Krafsur's [one of the four judges] cases will lead to nearly $1.8 billion in benefits."
If so, counting these benefits is seriously misleading for several reasons. First, Medicare is paid out of a separate fund so its does not affect the solvency of the Disability program. Also, most of these people would have low incomes and therefore be eligible for Medicaid, even if they were turned down for disability. This means there is little or no net cost to taxpayers from having them receive Medicare. Finally, most people would likely see this number and think beneficiaries are seeing $300,000 in cash.
It would have been worth pointing out that just over one-third of applicants for disability get approved. The people who appeal their initial denial to a disability judge likely exclude most of the marginal cases, (it takes time and generally lawyers' fees to file an appeal), so it would not be surprising that a high percentage will be approved. A recent study by the University of Michigan examined the work experience of marginal applicants who were denied disability by administrative judges. Of this group, which comprised 25 percent of all applicants, it found that only 28 percent of these people were employed two years after being turned down. Even among this group (7 percent of all applicants)average earnings was only half of what it had been before they had applied for disability. That suggests that the vast majority of this marginal group really are experiencing difficulty in working.
While the piece notes the sharp rise in the share of the workforce on disability it would have been useful to point out that the main reason is the aging of the baby boom cohort into the prime years for receiving disability and the increase in the age for receiving full Social Security benefits from 65 to 66. It would also have been worth noting that the United States ranks near the bottom of wealthy countries in the share of GDP going to disability benefits. Disability benefits comes to 0.9 percent of GDP in the United States, by comparison Germany pays out 1.7 percent of GDP ($290 billion a year in the U.S.) for disability benefits.

The holiday season is here, and shoppers have started the annual scramble to find the perfect gift for everyone on their list — most of whom are probably adults.
And she's not alone. A 2016 ING study found that 70 percent of Americans feel that Christmas is too focused on spending, yet we're expected to spend even more this year.
“We’re making guesses about what other people need or want or like," said Waldfogel, author of “Scroogenomics: Why You Shouldn't Buy Presents for the Holidays.” "If I go out and spend $50 on you, I may buy something that's worth nothing to you."
Even for gifts people want, Waldfogel said recipients underestimate a gift's monetary value by about 18 percent.
If an unwanted gift can't be returned, it might end up collecting dust in a closet or tossed in a landfill.
During the holiday season, Americans produce 25 percent more household waste, or about 1 million extra tons, according to the EPA. This includes not only unwanted gifts, but also gift packaging materials like bubble wrap and wrapping paper, which can't be recycled.
A study done by online retailer eBay found that holiday shopping can be as stressful as running a marathon. Shoppers in London were fatigued by the 32-minute mark, and their heart rates increased 33 percent during the experiment.
Stefanie O'Connell, a millennial financial expert and author of “The Broke and Beautiful Life,” said when her budget was tight, she "felt constantly stressed and overwhelmed and even a little bit resentful of the sense of obligation that came with gift giving."
Just be sure to have a conversation with your family first.
"You need to get a consensus or at least a majority rules to get a new policy in place for your family," said Leah Ingram, a New Jersey native who runs a financial advice blog. "It's perfectly OK to at some point say to your adult family members 'let's just stop giving each other gifts.'"
Ingram explained that in her family, all the grandchildren get Hanukkah gifts until they turn 21, and her siblings instituted a no gifts policy a few years back.
But, if you're not ready to quit cold turkey, try simply cutting back on gifts or changing up the style of gift giving.
Instead of hunting for physical gifts, consider giving cash or gift cards. Gift cards have been the most popular item on people’s wish lists for the past 11 years, according to the National Retail Foundation.

Discussion in 'Software Development' started by GWD4523, Feb 12, 2005.
I am trying to use "Visual Data Manager" to create a new database. My operating system is XP Pro. The program seems to let me create the database, the problem comes when I try to create a table for the database. I click "New Table", add a field, type in the name of the field and then click the button "Build Table" and get the error message <The following Error occurred: The database engine can't find". Make sure it is a valid parameter or alias name, that it doesn't include invalid characters or punctuation, and that the name isn't too long.
I have used "Visual Data Manager" before when I was running Windows 98. This is the first time I have tried to use "Visual Data Manager" since I started using XP. Could it be possible that the security flags are not properly set in XP? I am the only user on the stand alone computer. I thought I had all rights.
OK folks, I have slept on my problem overnight and realized that the problem was with the user, not the machine. Sometimes one gets tunnel vision and can't see the obvious. But at least I have found a good site to help solve future problems.

In our eternal pursuits of happiness, we always for improvement – for bigger, better, no matter the cost. However, we forget about failure as being a beneficial lesson that gives you a reference point. Without the bad you can never fully appreciate the good. Here’s a great article by Costica Bradatan In Praise of Failure from New York Times to ponder the importance of failure.
To me personally, failure has always felt as blessing in disguise (especially in retrospect). It is an immediate total paradigm shift of “your” world as you know it. It lets one to reevaluate, rest, hide, adjust, accept & make other plans. This is the place of growth and creativity. Failure forces you out of status quo and automatic pilot of your life. Seeing the benefits of failure philosophically can help us to realize that failure is a new success.

By tweaking the recipe for coaxing human stem cells into insulin-secreting beta cells, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis find that the resulting cells are more responsive to fluctuating glucose levels in the blood.
After this process was complete, the researchers transplanted the beta cells into diabetic mice with suppressed immune systems so that they wouldn’t reject the human cells. Those transplanted cells produced insulin at levels that effectively controlled blood sugar in the mice, functionally curing their diabetes for several months.
The researchers can’t predict when such cells may be ready for human trials but believe there are at least two ways that stem cell-derived beta cells could be tested in human patients.
The study was published on Jan. 17 in the journal Stem Cell Reports.

The group treatment programme for binge eating problems is intended to facilitate understanding and reduction of binge eating, and improve health and wellbeing.
During the programme, clients will be provided with information that will help them to better understand their eating difficulties, and develop specific skills to help tackle problem eating behaviours.
Sessions will cover information about binge eating (e.g. causes of binge eating and what keeps it going), nutrition, healthy weight control behaviours as well as specific activities to address shape and weight concerns, unhelpful thoughts, dealing with mood, and developing problem solving and mindfulness skills.
The primary focus of the group programme is to address the problem of binge eating. As dissatisfaction with body weight and ‘dieting’ are common problems in people who binge eat, information and guidance about healthy weight loss will be included towards the end of the programme. It is important, however, to acknowledge that treating binge eating does not automatically lead to weight loss and that reducing or eliminating binges is a first step to controlling weight.
There will usually be 3 to 4 clients with similar eating problems per group. Sessions will run from 5:00pm to 7:00pm fortnightly on Thursday evenings and will include a break of approximately 15 minutes. Sessions are held in a relaxed and informal environment. After the 12 group sessions, an individual meeting will be arranged giving each client the opportunity to meet with the course facilitators. This meeting will last 1 hour and be arranged towards the end of the programme.
Although attendance is expected at all sessions to gain maximum benefit, we understand that this may not always be possible. Participants are advised to discuss with the group leaders in advance about difficulties attending.
Group participants will be asked to complete a number of different questionnaires at agreed times throughout the course, including some at every session. This is to help monitor any changes that are occurring during the programme and to give clients the opportunity to provide feedback.
Data from this course may be used for research purposes and will be anonymised and subjected to strict confidentiality processes. If you have any concerns about this, please speak to the course facilitators.
Although the group programme is intended as a treatment intervention, it is not a ‘therapy group’. If required, on completion of the course and depending on individual needs, there may be opportunity to access a one-to-one therapy, and/ or one-to-one sessions with a dietitian. This will be arranged in the individual meeting, where applicable.

The debate around what to do about Auckland property, and the role of non-resident buyers in driving up prices, has started to gather considerable heat in recent weeks. In the last few days the focus of the debate has been framed in terms of race and ethnicity, rather than a public policy question, where we can draw on lessons and policy responses from elsewhere in the Asian region.
This is unfortunate, as there is an increasingly clear case for action. It is time to blow the whistle.
That it is a debate about China is unavoidable. China is the rising economic power of our region, and like the United States in the first half of the 20th century is making its presence felt.
And like the US in the early 20th century it is proving prone to financial manias and bubbles. In the first 30 years of the 20th century the US had the 1907 stock market crash, the Florida land boom of the 1920s, and the equity mania which ended with the 1929 crash. China is echoing this experience.
This bias to financial manias has been evident in recent weeks. What began in China late last year as an equity bull market based on expectations of reform and liberalisation was transformed this year into a full blown equity mania, as margin debt exploded to an unprecedented level.
In less than 12 months, official and informal margin debt rose by Y4-6tn – over 1 trillion New Zealand dollars. And as the margin debt boom started to unwind from late June, the Chinese equity markets slumped, leading to the official intervention of the last couple of weeks. Prior to this China had seen an equity boom / bust from 2006-2008, and property booms in 2005-07 and 2009-11. So far, a property bust has been avoided.
In recent months there has been a rising sense in New Zealand that the Auckland property market is in danger of becoming a mania. Auckland house prices have diverged from the rest of the country in the past, such as 1995/96, but never to this degree – or with such persistence.
Moreover, the sense that this is a boom driven by non-resident capital has grown stronger over time. What we have lacked, though, is data. The measures announced at the budget are good ones, and will over time give us a much clearer sense as to who is doing the buying, but we need the data today, not in 18 months’ time.
In such a data void, it is natural that people look for informal data sets. While Phil Twyford’s data set based on names created a storm, and is less than ideal given it is implicitly based on ethnicity, rather than residency or citizenship, it does provide a sense as to the extent of non-resident demand for Auckland property. This is consistent with what has been observed in property markets as varied as Singapore, Hong Kong and Vancouver.
Across the Asia-Pacific region the anecdotal evidence of demand for offshore property by Chinese residents is overwhelming. China is unique in financial history, in that combines a huge stock of financial assets with ill-defined property rights and a still evolving rule of law. This mix combines buying power with demand for assets with certain property rights, such as houses on freehold land. We have not seen this before, as typically foreign investment by individuals has been financial – equities, bonds and mutual funds.
Financial assets in China exceed Y245tn – or nearly 60 trillion New Zealand dollars. As China opens up, more of this capital is free to flow abroad. In the last 12 months, net capital outflow from China has reached as high NZ$650bn – or nearly three times New Zealand’s GDP.
Sitting in New Zealand, the enormity of these numbers is hard to comprehend. Moreover, more liberalisation is on the way. China is looking to implement a programme called QDII2, which will significantly expand the number of Chinese residents eligible to invest abroad in both financial assets and property.
To express concerns about the potential impact of these flows is not racism; it is sensible macro prudential management. We need to ensure that the capital flows into the property market do not prove destabilising, or create the risk of financial or asset shocks in New Zealand. Moreover, there are very real distributional effects that as New Zealanders we should be very concerned about; inequality matters.
Fortunately, Singapore and Hong Kong – and some cities in China – have been down this path before. We can draw on their experience. Singapore imposes a 15 per cent stamp duty on non-resident purchasers of residential property, as does Hong Kong. In China, in order to restrain the property boom in 2011 cities such as Beijing and Shanghai – amongst others – imposed a blanket ban on non-resident purchases of residential property, which in practice blocked purchases by Chinese residents from other provinces.
I believe we should take the lead from Singapore and Hong Kong and impose a 20 per cent stamp duty on non-resident purchases of Auckland property. Moreover, we should use the measures announced at the last budget on IRD numbers and NZ bank accounts to ensure that any resident purchaser is the beneficial owner.
This is not an anti-Chinese policy, in the same way that the Singapore, Hong Kong and Beijing property measures are not anti-Chinese. It is a macro-prudential measure, designed to prevent a property bubble. It would not apply to the rest of the country, where property price pressures are subdued. There would have to be research on how this stamp duty would fit with our FTA’s, but the point is that it is not a blanket measure. It is a macro-prudential response to rising risks in a specific city. Non-residents would still be welcome to buy outside of Auckland with no duty.
The proceeds of the stamp duty could stay within the Auckland economy, with the duty receipts contributing to a sinking fund for Auckland infrastructure. As the Chinese leadership likes to say, this would create a win-win for Auckland – and for New Zealand.

Oswego, NY - A rare 18th century built sloop, Washington (also known as Lady Washington), has been discovered in Lake Ontario off the shores of Oswego, New York by a team of shipwreck explorers. Jim Kennard, Roger Pawlowski, and Roland Stevens located the sloop in late June utilizing high resolution side scan sonar equipment.
The sloop was enroute from Kingston, Ontario to Niagara, Ontario, Canada with a full cargo when it foundered during a gale on Lake Ontario in 1803. The Washington is believed to be the oldest confirmed commercial sailing ship to exist in the Great Lakes. It was the first sloop built on Lake Erie and the first to sail in both Lakes Erie and Ontario. Sloops only existed for a limited period of time on the Great Lakes as they were replaced by schooners which had two or more masts and were much more efficient to operate.
In early November 1803 the sloop Washington sailed from Niagara to Kingston, Ontario with a small group of area merchants on board. On November 6th the ship departed Kingston on the return trip to its home port. It was reported that the sloop was heavily loaded with general merchandise including goods and groceries from East India. Tragically the Washington was caught in a fierce storm and sank off of Oswego, New York. Portions of the cargo, pieces of the ship and her yawl were found the following day on shore.
Construction of the sloop Washington began in 1797 on 4 Mile Creek by Connecticut carpenter Eliphalet Beebe for the Pennsylvania Population Company, an organization that was developing a tract of land just north of Erie, Pennsylvania. The Washington was a small sloop with a carrying capacity of 36 tons. The sloop was initially built to transport people, their belongings and needed supplies from the southern end of the portage from what is now Chippawa, Ontario near Niagara Falls. On September 15, 1798, the sloop was launched just north of the present city of Erie, PA. Its maiden voyage was to Fort Erie for supplies. The Pennsylvania Population Company took ownership of the sloop a month later on October 12th. Two names were proposed for the sloop, Washington and Lady Washington. The name Washington was chosen by the ship’s largest shareholder, Robert Hamilton, a merchant from Queenston, Ontario. It appears, however, that the sloop continued to be referred to as Lady Washington by some.
For the next three years the Washington sailed the eastern end of Lake Erie making frequent trips to Fort Erie to move merchandise and settlers between New York State, Canada and Erie, PA. By the end of the season in 1800 it was determined that the operation of the sloop was actually losing money and was put up for sale. In November 1801 the Washington was sold to a group of merchants from Queenston, Ontario.
In the winter of 1802 the sloop was transported around Niagara Falls over the portage road (a trail on land between two bodies of water) from Chippawa to Queenston and launched in Lake Ontario, making it the first ship to have sailed both in Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The ship was mounted on runners and, with the use of rollers, was pulled by teams of oxen for a distance of approximately 8 miles to its destination. The trail between Chippawa and Queenston, called Portage Road, now carries motorized vehicles and passengers.
For the next two years the Washington would typically transport furs and local merchants (forwarding agents), from Niagara to Kingston, Ontario. Then the sloop would return to its home port with an assortment of goods such as flour, salt, tools, and household items. From the records that exist for 1803 it appears the Washington was making a trip nearly every month to Kingston starting in early April until its final voyage in early November.
On the 6th of November, 1803 the sloop Washington sailed out of Kingston harbor on her final return trip to Niagara. On board were the crew consisting of Capt. Murray, Peter Bouville and John Neach along with several passengers including Niagara merchants John Dun and John Boyd. After their departure a severe storm developed on Lake Ontario. Sailing vessels arrived at Niagara and not finding the Washington assumed that she had made it to the port of Oswego. Soon afterwards ships coming from that port brought the news that several articles of cargo, pieces of wreckage and her yawl were found on shore near Oswego. There were no survivors. Most of the cargo described as goods and groceries from East India and estimated at $20,000 had been purchased by Messrs. Robinson and Martin of Albany, NY. and Mr. Quetton St. George, a merchant from York (Toronto, Canada).
At the end of June our shipwreck search team was conducting a survey in the deep depths off Oswego, NY utilizing high resolution Deepvision side scan sonar. Almost immediately we came upon the sunken sloop. We made a number of scans with the side scan but the conditions were not ideal to deploy the underwater remote operated vehicle (ROV). From the sonar imagery we were fairly confident that we had discovered the sloop Washington, but we would have to wait another three weeks before the conditions on the lake were better for imaging with the ROV and confirmation of the actual wreck.
The sloop Washington is the oldest fully intact commercial sailing vessel to have been lost and found in the Great Lakes. The oldest military ship, HMS Ontario, was lost in 1780 and was discovered by our team in 2008. The Washington was the first ship to sail on both lakes Erie and Ontario. Previously there were no drawings or half hull model of the sloop Washington for archaeologists to study. Now with imagery and measurements there is a better understanding of the design of this very rare 18th century sailing vessel. Sloops on the Great Lakes were soon replaced by schooners which were much more efficient to operate.
Historic shipwrecks abandoned and embedded in New York State underwater lands belong to the people of the State of New York and are protected by state and federal law from unauthorized disturbance. Military equipment remains the property of the service branch unless explicitly abandoned.
The survey of historic shipwrecks in Lake Ontario is funded by a grant from The National Museum of the Great Lakes of Toledo, Ohio.
There are estimated to have been between 6000 to 8000 ships that wrecked in the Great Lakes with over 600 occurring on Lake Ontario. Many of these ships were wrecked or burned in a harbor or were driven on-shore where they were pounded to pieces. Today there are over 200 ships that still remain in the lake. In recent years our shipwreck discovery team has made several notable shipwreck discoveries off the southern shore of Lake Ontario. The lake depths often exceed several hundred feet just a few miles from the shoreline. Shipwrecks located in these depths are beyond the range of recreational divers and require expensive search and support ship equipment to find them. The sloop Washington is one of these ships. These ships were the “truckers” used more than two centuries ago to haul the heavy cargos to various ports on the Great Lakes and along the St. Lawrence River.
Jim Kennard has been diving and exploring the lakes in the northeast since 1970. He has found over 200 shipwrecks in the Great Lakes, Lake Champlain, NY Finger Lakes and in the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers over the past 40 years. In 1983 he discovered a unique horse powered ferryboat in Lake Champlain. National Geographic featured the ferryboat in their October 1989 issue. In May 2008 Jim Kennard and Dan Scoville discovered the 236 year old British warship HMS Ontario, the oldest shipwreck ever found in the Great Lakes. Kennard is a Fellow member of The Explorers Club and the sonar owner / operator.
Roger Pawlowski has been diving on shipwrecks in the northeast and Pacific for the past 15 years. He is a retired Air Force Reserve pilot and flew missions in Desert Storm. In 1980 while flying a practice mission over Lake Ontario he witnessed a small aircraft plunge into the lake. His details of the incident and location helped Kennard locate the aircraft which was several miles from shore and in over 100 feet underwater. Pawlowski is an electrical engineer and runs his own engineering consulting business. He is the owner / operator of the ROV and survey boat.
Roland ‘Chip’ Stevens is a retired architect and working artist whose watercolors, many of which have been accepted into national exhibitions, are well known in the Rochester area. A sailor for over 60 years, Stevens has a love of the sea as reflected in his seascapes. A number of his paintings of shipwrecks discovered by the team have appeared in news stories and publications. Based on the ROV video recording and side scan sonar imaging, Stevens created watercolor paintings of the sloop Washington as it appears today on the bottom of Lake Ontario and what it may have looked like while under sail.
how deep did you find her and what are the plans for recovery/salvage. Can you bring her up and restore her in any way? Or too brittle to try and even move at this point. Really cool.
No plans for recovery of the sloop or any of its artifacts. Cost for a recovery would be in the millions and cost for preservation 10X that amount. Best to leave the sloop where it is in deep cold water to keep it preserved.
Have you done any diving around the duck island area and/or the marysburgh vortex triangle ?
Todd -- No we haven't ventured up near the Ducks. - We would need a search permit for Canada - No spinning compasses seen yet!
You said that in November 1801 the Washington was sold to a group of merchants from Queenston, Ontario. Do you have a record of the names of the merchants who purchased her ?
This is an important find. Are there any plans to do a full archaeological survey? Also, can you point me to a source for the argument that schooners were "much more efficient to operate" than sloops? That's an opinion I am very keen to investigate.
Currently there are no plans to do a full archaeological survey of the Washington. The ship is beyond the range for recreational diving. The best we can provide now are images and the historic details in the above article.

The first pasture raised animals we got were a group of small Herefords. Some of them qualify as miniatures, others as what is considered classics, with frame scores ranging from 00-2. We chose them because we are small people so small cattle fit us. We love the docile nature of Herefords and they are very efficient at converting grass to meat. Our goal is to grow to a herd of 30 cows which we calve and finish on the farm, meaning they live their entire lives on our farm. Our calves are born out on pasture, are weaned by their mothers naturally, and receive no grain at any stage. They graze throughout their whole lives, even in winter. We love watching our cows graze green pastures and kick up their heels at fresh grass, it’s a good way to pass an evening as the sun goes down.
We always knew that we wanted to have multiple species on the farm, and sheep are a natural companion to cattle. People often say that sheep are “little cows,” and we have found this to be very true and untrue at the same time. When deciding on a breed of sheep, Icelandics were a natural fit for us. We used to live in Norway, and Icelandics are literally the sheep of the Vikings. This hardy breed was virtually unchanged for a thousand years while isolated on Iceland. Their hardy nature make them a good fit for our Wisconsin climate, and their historic diet of sparse grasses promised they would do well on a pasture-only diet, and they do. Their mild-flavored meat is prized around the world and is a far cry from the lamb that most Americans think of, not to mention their beautiful and luxurious fiber comes in many colors. Our sheep thrive on our pastures and grow lambs that finish in just a few months and create delicious meals for our family and yours.
After being in the farming game for five years we decided we were ready for a new adventure. While pigs had always been something we’d thought about, we put them on the back burner for a long time. Until 2017 when we dove head first into pig ownership by purchasing a herd of Registered Large Black Hogs, including five sows, four boars, and 18 feeder pigs. While the breed name is not exactly creative, we love this breed. What’s to love? Well, the floppy ears, the kind eyes, and docile temperaments for starters. These gentle giants are great foragers, and while pigs aren’t ruminants and can’t live on grass alone, they are able to get a substantial amount of their nutrients from pasture. We feed them a limited amount of a non-gmo corn, barley, and flaxseed meal mixture everyday which provides them the correct amount of proteins. Because perfection takes time, we grow them slow, taking a year to finish instead of the six months typical in other breeds. And what do they provide in exchange for this pampering? A deep red, well-marbled pork with long sides of bacon and oodles of flavor. Don’t believe me? Try some for yourself by visiting our store.
