This network is designed to provide a forum for examining the main forces that have transformed the world since the end of the Cold War, bringing together people from a number of disciplines who are studying them from different perspectives. The focus is very broad, and is not confined to geopolitics: we are interested in a number of issues, including the renewed importance of religion in global politics; the rise of global markets and the increased power of consumerism; the effects of environmental change and of developments in global communications; the extent to which 'post-modern' cultures have superseded the modernizing projects and modernist cultures of the early and mid-20th century.
Our approach will be interdisciplinary, and while the backgrounds of the founders of the network are in History and Literary/Cultural Studies we are keen to use a number of disciplinary approaches. We therefore hope that a wide variety of scholars will participate, including political scientists, cultural and literary scholars, anthropologists, philosophers, students of religion, sociologists, economists and specialists in technology, as well as historians. We also hope to involve those in the worlds of the arts and culture, many of whom are also addressing these issues through their own art forms.
We would plan to develop an interdisciplinary network, while inviting scholars from outside to speak who have developed, or are currently developing, new ways of thinking about the post-cold war era, uniting the detailed and empirical with the comparative and thematic. This would include both well-known and younger speakers.
The network will convene from the autumn of 2016, and one of our first events will be a talk by Professor Arjun Appadurai of New York University, on his recent work on Cultures of Finance.
We very much welcome the participation of anybody interested, whatever stage they are in their career in academia or the arts.

The new technology makes it possible to share multimedia files on LG's upcoming LG Optimus 7 and all DLNA* compliant digital devices at the touch of a finger.
LG's unique multimedia sharing technology on LG Optimus 7 allows users to enjoy content on the phone across today's digital platforms with a simple finger flick. This preinstalled feature allows users to send files directly from the phone's media galleries, without having to leave for another application. The phone will automatically display compatible devices in the same Wi-Fi zone and let users literally flick media files to the targeted device. Users can transfer multimedia saved on their phones — 720p HD videos, high-resolution photos and high-quality music files — wirelessly to their TV or home theater system.
This unique media file-sharing technology will be embedded in upcoming LG Optimus 7 smartphones, which go on sale early in the fourth quarter of this year. With more than 240 leading consumer electronics brands adopting the media sharing technology, DLNA is expected to set a new industry standard for home entertainment.
LG is demonstrating this DLNA-based multimedia sharing feature at the LG booth at IFA in Berlin, Germany from September 3-7, 2010.


Hair removal – one of the tasks that seems to be the bane of my life. Due to my PCOS I have a lot of hair to remove. All. Over. The. Place. The process isn't too bad in the winter, as I just let that winter coat grow – ha! But during the summer, it's a really tedious process for me. My hair grows so quick that I have to shave my legs and armpits every day, or wear something that covers my whole leg if I can't be bothered or don't have time.
Of course I could find an alternative hair removal method; for example waxing. I just can't afford to get it done too regularly though. I can just about tolerate having my eyebrows waxed, never mind my armpits or legs! Although, I have considered getting my eyebrows threaded; I usually just top up with tweezing between waxing.
There are so many more hair removal methods out there though, and BeautyPros.org have put together the following infographic to give a quick rundown on the details of them. It's quite a useful little tool!

Senior Hurling Championship 2019
April 13: Rapparees 1-18, Ferns St. Aidans 1-11
Last year's disappointing semi-final performance has been consigned to history if the commanding manner of this Rapparees victory over neighbours Ferns St. Aidans in Group A of the Pettit's Senior Hurling Championship in O'Kennedy Park, New Ross, on Saturday is anything to go by.
A team primed to deliver a big display flopped against St. Martin's last October, but the desire to make progress wasn't dealt a fatal blow by the defeat as the Enniscorthy men marched to a decisive seven-point victory here.
Being able to welcome back Liam Ryan was obviously a huge plus, while they also gave senior debuts to two members of last year's fine minor team, who are destined for long careers at this level – netminder Anthony Larkin and busy midfielder Oran Carty.
Indeed, the latter's point in injury time was a fitting way for the Rapps to close their scoring, as not alone did it stem from a fine move featuring a Darragh Pepper catch and a subsequent Alan Tobin pass, it also rewarded the industrious teenager on the scoresheet for a fine debut.
On the down side, Ryan Mahon departed early in the second half with a shoulder or collarbone injury which is likely to keep him out of Saturday's clash with Fethard.
However, another member of that clan, Tomás, was in flying form in spite of his veteran status and he finished with twelve points, including three from play and one sweet line ball.
Waterford's Pat Bennett is a member of the Ferns backroom team, and what they lacked more than anything was an inventive forward or two like his sons, the inter-county duo Shane and Stephen, to supplement the work of Paul Morris.
All bar four points of the losers' tally came from the Wexford attacker, with his first half goal the only thing that saved his team from a bigger defeat.
That arrived in the eighth minute, when Anthony Larkin hared off his line to challenge a forward. The ball broke to Eoin Murphy who fed Morris with a handpass, and the Ferns captain was able to walk the ball to an empty net (1-1 to 0-4).
Tomás Mahon (three, two frees) and Darragh Pepper had picked off the earlier Rapps points, and they went on to make wind advantage count by adding a substantial 1-8 without reply.
Kevin Foley and Alan Tobin joined the prolific Mahon on the scoresheet, with his line ball conversion from the right flank in the 24th minute being the highlight of his five point haul during that sequence.
And it got even better for the Rapps when a Ferns defender fluffed a basic pick-up, with Alan Tobin handpassing inside to the unmarked Eamonn Furlong, who drilled the sliothar to the net to extend his side's lead to 1-12 to 1-1.
The only period when the victors allowed their standards to slip arrived on either side of half time.
Indeed, Ferns took a breather with renewed hope after Tommy Dwyer, Chris Turner and Paul Morris (free) hit the last three points before the break, to reduce the arrears to eight.
And then they followed with the first four on the re-start – three more Morris placed balls, plus his assist for a Gavin Bailey finish – there was a mere four points in it, and bear in mind that Ferns now had the wind (1-12 to 1-8).
That momentum stalled though, and the Rapps looked comfortable again for the remainder of the game as Mahon's finishing outshone the losers, whose last three scores all arrived from Morris (two from play).
The game ended with James Lawlor making a fine save to deny Alan Tobin a second goal for the Rapps, but Ferns do have a chance to get up and running next Sunday as they meet a St. Anne's crew at their lowest ebb for quite some time.
Ferns St. Aidans: James Lawlor; Patrick O'Hagan, John Breen, Rory Scallan; Ciarán Roberts, Conor Scallan, James Tonks; Niall Murphy, Gavin Bailey (0-1); Jonny Dwyer, Eoin Murphy, Tommy Dwyer (0-1); Paul Morris (capt., 1-7, 0-5 frees), Chris Turner (0-1), Ian Byrne (0-1).

April 21: Ferns St. Aidans 1-16, St. Anne's 1-14
Trailing by three points with less than five minutes of normal time remaining, Ferns St. Aidans battled back to snatch a critical victory in Group A of the Pettitt's Senior Hurling Championship in Bellefield on Sunday.
With four sides in this group looking fairly evenly matched, results against one another are of vital importance and these teams knew it. Despite the sticky temperature, neither side let up for a second in a game that was played at a frantic pace throughout.
There were 54 minutes on the clock and it was 1-14 to 1-11 after Liam Óg McGovern scored his third point of the contest, the first for his side in that period that wasn't registered by Mark Furlong.
It was St. Anne's third point in a row and they seemed to have weathered a ferocious Ferns St. Aidans storm.
That couldn't have been further from the truth though, as the Gorey District side then went on a scoring rampage. Brendan Jordan started the revival with a long-range minor, and Jonny Dwyer then narrowed the gap to one as the clock hit 60 minutes.
Sensing blood, Ferns swarmed. Ian Byrne levelled the game with his eighth point, but it was his ninth score soon afterwards that gave his side their second lead, the first since they were ahead by 0-2 to 0-1 early on in the game.
They still didn't ease off on the gas and Christopher O'Connor made the lead two, turning over the next puck-out to apply the dagger. As well as being frantic, it was a thoroughly entertaining game of hurling.
St. Anne's welcomed Liam Óg McGovern back into the team but Diarmuid O'Keeffe was still absent. As trade-offs go, it was fairly even, as Ferns were also missing an inspirational score-getter in Paul Morris, meaning neither team was at full strength.
Ferns had that slender early lead by the twelfth minute but McGovern, Furlong and Liam Rochford were all on target as St. Anne's finished the first quarter with a 0-4 to 0-2 lead.
They still led by two after Kevin Breen registered, but Peter O'Toole responded to make it 0-6 to 0-5 after 25 minutes.
Having played with the breeze, the Rathangan side needed something a little more substantial to take with them into the second half. They got it in the 26th minute when Páraic O'Keeffe's long ball found its way to Liam Rochford, and he located the back of James Lawlor's net.
Byrne had five points on the board by the interval as his side stayed within three (1-7 to 0-7). His counterpart, Furlong, then scored three frees early in the second half as the lead swelled out to five.
But Byrne had a big say in the 38th minute. He raced around the outside left of the St. Anne's defence and sent a clinical finish past Paul Brennan, to make it 1-10 to 1-8.
Ferns were level by the 46th minute after Dwyer opened his account, but they quickly fell into arrears again.
Three points ahead, Brennan made a stunning save from Byrne, but it was all in vain as the five Ferns points in a row gave them the victory.
Ferns St. Aidans: James Lawlor; Patrick O'Hagan, John Breen, Rory Scallan; Niall Murphy, Conor Scallan, James Tonks; Declan Byrne, Gavin Bailey; Ciarán Roberts, Eoin Murphy, Brendan Jordan (0-2); Chris Turner, Ian Byrne (capt., 1-9, 8 frees), Peter O'Toole (0-2). Subs: Christopher O'Connor (0-1) for D. Byrne (39); Jonny Dwyer (0-2) for Turner (44).
St. Anne's: Paul Brennan; Kenny Cloney, Tomás Cullen, Páraic O'Keeffe; Aaron Craig, Aidan Rochford, Finn O'Driscoll; Kevin Whelan, Mark Furlong (0-8, 5 frees); Mikey Fogarty, Liam Óg McGovern (0-3), Jonathan Fogarty (0-1); Liam Rochford (capt., 1-1), David O'Connor, Kevin Breen (0-1). Sub: Kevin White for O'Connor (60+2).
Referee: Pat Kehoe (Rathgarogue/Cushinstown).
August 10: Ferns St. Aidans 0-18, Fethard 2-9
Ian Byrne underlined his quality in the second-half in O'Kennedy Park, New Ross, on Saturday as Ferns St. Aidans considerably enhanced their prospects of booking a place in the Pettitt's Senior hurling championship quarter-finals with a hard-fought three-point Group A win over Fethard.
The Gorey District side had left themselves in a relatively strong position when they only trailed by 1-7 to 0-8 at half-time after playing against the wind, and Byrne landed eight of their ten points after the break to drive them on to victory.
He was a regular outlet for his colleagues as he floated around the midfield area and, as well as converting six placed balls, his two successive strikes from play in the 40th and 42nd minutes powered his side into a 0-13 to 1-8 lead that was never relinquished.
With Gavin Bailey mopping up on a constant basis behind him, Ferns ultimately had too much in reserve for the Senior newcomers, although they were dealt a blow with eight minutes left when Daire Barden and John Tubritt combined to put Fethard substitute Bryan Power through for a goal (0-16 to 2-9).
Significantly, Ferns captain Paul Morris won James Lawlor's puck-out and landed a settling point, and Fethard had Garrett Foley sent-off on a second yellow card before Ian Byrne picked off the last score after a foul on Morris in the 60th minute.
The constant off-the-ball niggling, coupled with a degree of play-acting, led to some flashpoints, with the most serious in added time resulting in dismissals for recently-introduced Fethard substitute Darren Foley, along with Jonny Dwyer of Ferns.
This was the first-ever meeting of these clubs in the Senior hurling championship, and the opening half was notable for the seasiders' total reliance on centre-forward Mark Wallace for scores.
He contributed their entire tally of 1-7 in that spell, with all of the points from frees as Ferns found Mikie Dwyer, in particular, a difficult customer to deal with.
The Wallace goal arrived in the 22nd minute and gave his side a 1-3 to 0-4 lead, collecting a Ciarán Dwyer cross before selling a neat dummy and firing low to James Lawlor's net.
The fact that Ferns managed four points from play against the wind - from Niall Murphy, Paul Morris, Christopher O'Connor and Tommy Dwyer - suggested they had a better spread of scorers, while Jonny Dwyer chipped in with a sweet line ball from the left wing in the sixth minute.
Ian Byrne made it a one-point game from a free on the re-start, but the puck-out was caught by Fethard wing-back Richard Waters whose determined solo ended in a fine score.
Remarkably, though, that was the south county side's only point from play in the entire game, and that told its own story.
Byrne converted a '65 before Eoin Murphy levelled despite having a hurl thrown at him from behind as he struck the ball in the 36th minute (0-11 to 1-8).
Byrne then added two beauties from play, with the last free that Wallace converted being followed by a trio at the other end from the on-form county panel member.
Although Bryan Power's goal gave the leaders a jolt, their response was strong as they made it two wins from three, with games against St. Martin's and Faythe Harriers to come.
Fethard, meanwhile, have yet to meet last year's runners-up and St. Anne's, and it looks like their next contest against the Rathangan men - on Saturday in Innovate Wexford Park - will be a real six-pointer in terms of both clubs easing any potential relegation worries.
Ferns St. Aidans: James Lawlor; Declan Byrne, John Breen, Rory Scallan; James Tonks, Conor Scallan, Niall Murphy (0-1); Gavin Bailey, Eoin Murphy (0-1); Brendan Jordan, Ian Byrne (0-11, 8 frees, 1 '65), Paul Morris (capt., 0-2); Christopher O'Connor (0-1), Jonny Dwyer (0-1 line ball), Tommy Dwyer (0-1).

August 16: Ferns St. Aidans 0-17, St. Martin's 1-14
A draw was enough to ensure safe passage to the Pettitt's Senior Hurling Championship quarter-finals for Ferns, but they probably should have had more in Bellefield on Friday evening.
The Gorey district side came into the game in a pretty strong position after back-to-back victories over St Anne's and Fethard so, in a way, they were free to have a good crack at this St Martin's team.
But the game wasn't without pressure, because a loss would have likely left them with a winner-takes-all clash against Faythe Harriers but they played with an impressive cohesion and a real hunger and were the better team for most of this game.
Everyone knows St Martin's have class performers around the field and their quality was just enough to grab the Piercestown side a share of the spoils.
However, they played like a team that had already qualified, there wasn't a great deal of quality to their play and it was all very clumpy.
Both sides flooded the middle third of the field, generally leaving two inside forwards with three defenders but clearing a lot of space in front of them. Both were happy to play the small ball game, plod along and pick away for openings and one might expect that to suit St Martin's.
They just weren't sharp enough and Ferns nipped around them and almost outdone them at their own game. They dared St Martin's to go long, look for a quiet Rory O'Connor but the Wexford district side rarely did.
The boys in Maroon and White started on the front foot with the breeze, Conor Firman nipped in to steal a short Ferns puck-out, feed Harry O'Connor and he just about found enough power in his shot to beat Jason Lawlor.
Rory O'Connor and Mikey Coleman both missed decent goal chances as the opening quarter came to an end but Ferns were able to tighten things up and rarely looked like conceding a major again.
After three Ian Byrne points and a Johnny Dwyer over, Paul Morris opened his account to level the scores at the midpoint of the first half.
It was nip and though for the rest of the period, Joe Coleman and Byrne both found their range from frees while Jake Firman and Eoin Murphy registered for their sides as St Martin's took a 1-8 to 0-10 lead at the break.
Playing against the breeze probably doesn't phase the 2017 County Champions but they struck seven wides and just a solitary Rory O'Connor point in the first fourteen minutes of the second half.
Ferns weren't exactly lighting it up either, with six wides of their own, but Benny Jordan and Byrne did notch to give their team a 0-13 to 1-9 lead. They stayed in front and even increased that advantage as the half wore on, going two up with Byrne's twelfth point in the 53rd minute.
However, they didn't score again. Instead St Martin's did just enough to nab the draw, Coleman pulled his side within one and it was Aaron Maddock who collected Harry O'Connor's hand-pass to point and salvage a draw in the final minute.

September 8: Ferns St. Aidans 2-18, Faythe Harriers 1-16
A consummate second half display saw Ferns St. Aidans turn around a five-point deficit to see off Faythe Harriers in this entertaining Pettit's Senior Hurling Championship Group A tie at Bellefield on Sunday.
The win sets Ferns up with a quarter-final date against Naomh Eanna, and leaves Faythe Harriers facing into a relegation battle with Oylegate-Glenbrien.
The Harriers enjoyed the greater share of the spoils for the majority of proceedings, but Ferns were always building momentum and the Wexford town side slowly began to struggle and just couldn't hold them any longer.
Faythe Harriers showed their intent early on with points from Jim Berry, Fionn O Crualaoich, John Bridges and Lee Chin, outdoing efforts from Paul Morris and Ian Byrne, before they ran up a five-point lead midway through the half thanks to an Eoin Roche goal, kicked home from close range.
Wayne Mallon and Jim Berry were running the show in midfield and the latter, along with Bridges and Chin, increased the lead to eight with five minutes remaining in the half.
However, county player Ian Byrne pulled Ferns back into it with a goal from a 20-metre free just before the break, to make things a lot closer.
It always seemed that there was more in the eventual winners, and they proved that immediately when Jonny Dwyer hit the net within 30 seconds of the restart.
There was really nothing in it now and both side's free-takers, Byrne and Chin, began a shoot-out that would go on for the remainder of the half with neither one faltering.
The big difference was that the Wexford town side was almost wholly reliant on Chin for scores, with a point for John Bridges being the only other score they could muster in the half.
Ferns, on the other hand, could call on Paul Morris, Benny Jordan, Patrick O'Hagan and Peter O'Toole for scores as they built momentum throughout the half, taking the lead with nine minutes remaining.
Harriers' plight wasn't helped when Wayne Mallon received his marching orders for a wild pull, as their opponents finished out the half with Byrne and Morris to the fore in particular.
Ferns St. Aidans: James Lawlor; Patrick O'Hagan (0-1), John Breen, Brian O'Neill; Niall Murphy, Conor Scallan, James Tonks (0-1); Eoin Murphy (0-2), Gavin Bailey; Paul Morris (0-4), Benny Jordan (0-1), Ian Byrne (1-8 frees); Jonny Dwyer (1-0), Tommy Dwyer, Ciarán Roberts.

Sept. 21, quarter-final: Ferns St. Aidans 1-21, Naomh Eanna 0-12
Irresistible St. Aidan's blew defending champions Naomh Eanna away to advance to the Pettitt's Senior hurling championship semi-finals in Innovate Wexford Park on Saturday.
It's probably safe to say that Ferns weren't too many neutral's ideas of serious title contender coming into the weekend.
They manoeuvred their way, almost unnoticed, through the group stages.
At times they did it with classy hurling, and sometimes their grit was the vitally important component, but they displayed both and more in this complete destruction of Naomh Eanna. This wasn't a win, this was a mauling of a strong favourite.
Now they have to be right up there with the fancied teams. Has any side in the championship put in a performance this good in 2019?
One could surmise that two more displays like this would likely be enough for Ferns to claim that elusive title.
The big thing to take away from this game is that everyone is buying into it.
The older lads look like they believe that something magical is in the offing, as the Dwyers, Paul Morris, James Tonks and John Breen all were exceptional, while Benny Jordan was masterly, untouched throughout a majestic performance.
They looked like a team reborn, and they played like a group of lads that believe in their youth movement.
The confidence was there, the energy was there, and this was where the young guys in this side came of age.
The gameplan worked to perfection, as Ferns wanted to spread play left and right, always looking for the switch. It worked because they were constantly out in front, and they made Gorey look leggy and slow.
And that just about sums Naomh Eanna up. They didn't have that zip that brought them to the county summit last autumn. They were flat, lagging behind constantly, and they just looked like a tired team.
Their hunger was swallowed up and spat out by Ferns, who out Gorey-ed Gorey.
They'll kick on and finish up the football, they might win it but probably aren't favourties, and then they look like a side that needs a bit of a break.
They actually led by 0-5 to 0-3 after 16 minutes, but there was already evidence that they weren't getting on much of a run. Pádraig Doyle scored a couple of those points and Jack Cullen got a nice score, but soon Ferns were marching.
They were level when Ian Byrne notched his second of the afternoon, and took the lead through Jordan in the 25th minute.
From there they went on a tear to the break, with Byrne (three), Morris and Eoin Murphy all on target as they went in 0-11 to 0-8 ahead.
Gorey responded after the break. Doyle converted his sixth free and Conor McDonald scooped up and flashed over to pull his side within one.
From 0-11 to 0-10 ahead, Ferns went on to outscore their opponents by 1-10 to 0-2 in the remaining 26 minutes.
It was about as close as the score suggests in that spell. It felt like Ferns were toying with Naomh Eanna at times, flinging the ball around and picking off a range of superb scores.
It started with five in a row in less than six minutes. Byrne got another two, Jonny Dywer pointed, Jordan added another, and Tommy Dwyer also registered as the lead stretched out (0-16 to 0-10).
After Doyle pulled one back, Ferns finished it.
Gorey got caught trying to play the ball out, and Tommy Dwyer nipped in, fed Jonny, and from a tight angle on the right he drilled in off goalkeeper Barry Kinsella.
From there it was a procession. Jordan brought his tally to four, Byrne to nine, and substitute Peter O'Toole also pointed as Ferns moved into the last four with a double-scores win.
Ferns St. Aidan's: Jason Lawlor; John Breen, James Tonks, Rory Scallan; Niall Murphy (0-1), Conor Scallan, Ciarán Roberts; Gavin Bailey, Brendan Jordan (0-4); Ian Byrne (0-9, 4 frees, 3 '65s), Paul Morris (0-3), Jonny Dwyer (1-1); Christopher O'Connor, Eoin Murphy (0-1), Tommy Dwyer (0-1). Sub. - Peter O'Toole (0-1) for T. Dwyer (56).
Naomh Eanna: Barry Kinsella; Peter Travers, Brendan Travers (capt.), Eoin Molloy; Eoin Conroy, Jack Cullen (0-1), Seán Doyle; Aodhán Doyle, Gary Molloy; Charlie McGuckin, Pádraig Doyle (0-7, 6 frees), Cathal Dunbar (0-1); David O'Brien (0-1), Darragh Hughes, Conor McDonald (0-2). Subs. - Jack Cushe for Hughes (31), Conor Hughes for O'Brien (45).

Oct. 12, semi-final: St. Martin's 2-16, Ferns St. Aidans 1-15
The opportunism of substitute Darren Codd put the seal on another St. Martin's victoryin the Pettit's Senior Hurling Championship semi-final in Innovate Wexford Park on Saturday, but only after a late burst of 1-2 from Ferns St. Aidans had left a share of the spoils very much on the cards.
The Wexford District's 1-15 to 0-12 lead in the 57th minute was an accurate reflection of play up to that stage, but their generally disappointing rivals finally got their act together for a sustained period to reel off 1-2 without reply when it was needed most.
Ferns got the goal they hadn't really threatened beforehand after Ian Byrne played a pass into substitute Chris Turner. The county Under-20 player was faced by Patrick O'Connor, but he jinked onto his favoured leftside and delivered a shot that wasn't particularly venomous but still found Luke White's net.
The 2013 runners-up sensed that all wasn't lost yet, and the momentum garnered from that score was put to good use as fouls on Christopher O'Connor and Paul Morris respectively led to pointed frees for Ian Byrne.
That made it 1-15 to 1-14 with just under one minute of the additional four played, and fixtures committee members must have been bracing themselves for another unwanted draw.
However, the width of a goalpost intervened to ensure St. Martin's will be contesting a third final on the trot on October 27.
Wing-back Daithí Waters sent in a high, hanging point attempt in the third minute, that came back off the woodwork on the right.
Darren Codd was on to the break first, and he made room for himself before planting the ball beyond James Lawlor to the net.
It was the decisive moment, with Ian Byrne and Jack O'Connor going to swap late points from frees, to leave a margin of four at the finish.
Now St. Martin's may well be preparing to fight a boardroom battle as well as working hard on the training ground in the run up to the final, because they lost Rory O'Connor to a straight red card early in the second half.
He was one of two players given their marching orders for separate incidents that occurred at roughly the same time, with Tommy Dwyer of Ferns also dismissed.
St. Martin's were ahead by 1-12 to 0-9 at that point, and in truth, the game was in need of some sort of lift because it had been fairly pedestrian up to that juncture.
It certainly lacked the normal cut and thrust of a county semi-final, large because Ferns were unable to come close to the fine form that had led to the stylish dismissal of Naomh Eanna in their last encounter.
Christopher O'Connor had just intercepted a St. Martin's clearance to narrow the gap to six points when the temperature finally did rise in the 35th minute.
The play had been close to the leaders' right half-forward berth when Aaron Maddock was struck off the ball, but before dealing with that issue, referee Justin Heffernan was called in for a chat by his umpires at the Clonard goal.
This was in relation to an off-the-ball incident that left Niall Murphy of Ferns on the ground, and Rory O'Connor was shown a straight red card before the man in the middle ran back to the scene of the other disagreement and brandished a card of the same colour to Tommy Dwyer.
I expect that St. Martin's will be doing all in their power to free their star attacker to play in the final, and adding to the intrigue is the fact that the same referee sent off Cathal Dunbar of Naomh Eanna in last year's penultimate round.
The young forward's appeal was successful of course, and he went on to score four points from play as Gorey won their first title on a 2-11 to 0-13 scoreline.
It was an unusual game because none of the three inter-county regulars on view showed the type of form that one would expect at this time of year.
O'Connor had been picked up by Wexford Under-20 Niall Murphy from the off and had just one point to his name when dismissed, while his big brother Jack also struggled to make an impact on another young gun, Conor Scallan, although he was one of three players to split the posts in a first half exhibition of line ball taking.
On the plus side for the victors, Joe Coleman can be very pleased with his policing job on Paul Morris, as the Ferns captain was also restricted to just one point.
While Benny Jordan and Gavin Bailey formed the Ferns midfield for both throw-ins, the latter dropped back as usual into a sweeping role while Ian Byrne drifted out to the centre on Aaron Maddock.
The free role at the opposite end of the field was taken by Martin's captain Willie Devereux, and he was the stand-out performer in a generally disjoined and disappointing game, reading the play expertly and repeatedly spraying the ball intelligently to better-placed colleagues.
Ciarán Lyng had given last year's runners-up the lead before a goal chance for Paul Morris came and went in an instant as he was swiftly bottled up.
Johnny Dwyer was the first man to plant a line ball between the posts, doing so in the fifth minute, after Jack O'Connor had sent an early attempt wide.
The wind-aided Martin's followed up with three of their nine opening half wides before the on-form Joe Coleman restored their lead with a long-range free.
The short Ferns puck-out that followed was turned over, with Lyng bearing down on goal before opting to pick out Mikey Coleman to his right when Rory O'Connor was also free on his left.
Netminder James Lawlor redeemed himself with a smart advance to smother the shot, while his defence stood tall near the end of the opening quarter when further efforts from Lyng and Mikey Coleman were blocked.
It was 0-4 to 0-2 at that stage, with sweetly-struck line balls from Joe Coleman and Jack O'Connor – the first from the right and the second from the left – coming on either side of a Christopher O'Connor point at the other end.
The wides were mounting for a wasteful St. Martin's, and Ferns had the gap down to one by the 20th minute after another Coleman score was bettered by Jonny Dwyer and Ian Byrne (free).
The leaders should have chalked up a couple of goals by that stage, but Jake Firman showed how it's done when a long delivery hopped up invitingly for him to slam it first time to the net and establish a 1-5 to 0-4 lead.
The score was the catalyst as St. Martin's moved 1-11 to 0-6 clear by the break, with Rory O'Connor striking his sole point before a brace of wides apiece.
Joe Coleman pointed twice from play, after passes from Rory O'Connor and Mark Maloney, but Ian Byrne stopped the rot from a free before James Tonks was left unmarked to narrow the gap to 1-8 to 0-6.
However, St. Martin's hammed home their advantage in a fruitful 80-second spell just before the break, with Harry O'Connor, Joe Coleman (free) and Mikey Coleman all on target – the latter ensuring that all six forwards were on the scoresheet by half-time.
Two successful Ian Byrne frees on the re-start heightened hopes of a Ferns comeback, with Jake Firman and Christopher O'Connor then exchanging points before both sides were reduced to 14 men.
Byrne picked out Conor Scallan to make it 1-12 to 0-10, but the former missed a couple of long-range frees before Joe Coleman ended a barren spell lasting almost nine minutes for St. Martin's.
Twice Ferns made it a five-point game, via Paul Morris and Byrne (free), only for Coleman to respond – the first time from a free, and the second from play.
That 1-15 to 0-12 advantage looked quite secure, but the game took off on a new tangent after Chris Turner's goal, meaning that the alert reaction of Darren Codd was ultimately priceless in booking a local derby final date.

Ein Parachordom ist ein maligner Tumor unklarer Zuordnung. Er wurde zu den myoepithelialen Karzinomen des Weichteilgewebes gerechnet oder als Sarkom angesehen. Die ICD-O-3 führt das Parachordom wegen der Ähnlichkeit mit Chordomen unter den Sonstigen Tumoren des Nervensystems (Nr. 9373).

Die Krankheit wurde erstmals 1955 als peripheres Chordom beschrieben und trägt ihren heutigen Namen seit 1977. Bisher sind erst 50–60 Fälle beschrieben; es handelt sich um eine sehr seltene Tumorerkrankung. Die Tumoren lagen überwiegend in den Weichgeweben der Extremitäten. Obwohl häufig ein benigner Verlauf auftritt, sind Metastasierungen beschrieben. Als Therapie kommen sowohl chirurgische Entfernung als auch Radio- und Chemotherapie (z. B. nach dem VIP-E-Schema) infrage.

Building on the success of its Aceo Open Print Lab in Burghausen, Germany, Wacker Chemie AG has brought its 3D silicone printing technology to the U.S.
Laser marking liquid silicone rubber was demonstrated at the Silicone Elastomers Summit, sponsored by Smithers Rapra, in Milan.
New applications for liquid silicone rubber offer the potential to avoid invasive surgery. But development of the in-situ cure implant technology will take time.
The Lancaster-based manufacturer of silicone parts recently broke ground on the project, which is designed to give the company more room to accommodate additional growth it's experiencing across all industries.
GW Plastics disclosed a $6.8 million investment to increase product development, precision tooling, thermoplastic and liquid silicone injection molding at its site in Sligo, Ireland. The project includes expanding molding operations into a 28,000-square-foot site, which is located in the northern part of the country.
Elkem Silicones USA Corp. has been working on its new process for liquid silicone rubber for a few years, and now it's ready to show the industry.
Trelleborg AB's Sealing Solutions finalized a deal in January to acquire all of Sil-Pro LLC. Based in Delano, Minn., the manufacturer of silicone parts reported $38.7 million in 2017 sales and is part of Trelleborg's bolt-on strategy to position itself in the medical industry.
Silicones Europe (CES) trade association Secretary General Pierre Germain gave an update on 3D printing of liquid silicone rubber at the Silicone Elastomers World Summit in Milan in November.
Sensors may have an even more important role to play in LSR and multi-component LSR/thermoplastic molding, since the extremely low viscosity of liquid silicone rubber is difficult to control until it cures in the mold.

What you probably haven't ever considered when your jaw hits the ground at the sight of those beautiful colors is the process it takes to fill The Greenbrier's 11,000 acres with all of these plants. That's the job of Director of Grounds Curtis Webb, who gave me an inside look at the planning it takes to fill the more than 200 beds throughout the property.
It's a process that has changed a great deal since Webb moved to the Grounds department in 2011, when most of the planning was done entirely by hand and outside vendors came in to get the plants in the ground.
This summer, the entire process was done almost entirely in house. Over the winter, Webb and his team worked tirelessly to get every bed on the property into his computer on a new piece of software called PRO Landscape. Webb converted photos, drawings and old sketches into computerized diagrams that show the size, shape and location of every bed. The crew even went a step further, inputting information about the sun exposure that a particular bed receives, valuable data when it comes to picking plants for a particular spot.
Once the beds were all inputted and named — by location, such as North Lawn 1 or Springhouse 2 — it was time to get to work on the design.
The PRO Landscape software allows Webb to create different designs that fit particular beds, and he can see both the color and the texture of a particular bed right on his screen. His inspiration comes from all over the country.
"My wife gets into it with me," Webb explained. "When we go somewhere, I'm checking the landscape out — the plant combinations and what they did. I have a folder that is nothing but phone photos of properties I've visited."
Webb relies heavily on past experience, selecting plants that he knows will work in a particular spot, and he tries to come up with a new look every year.
Once the visual fits his eye on the computer, it's time to order the plants. For that, Webb turns to Bob's Market and Greenhouses. One of the top 100 growers in the United States, Bob's Market is located a short drive from The Greenbrier in Mason, W.Va.
Bob's Market purchases seeds or plugs from manufacturers like Proven Winners (more on that company later) and grows them to meet a client's specifications. For Webb, the plants must arrive on property in at least 60 percent color, so visitors will always see that pop.
Webb usually makes his order for the summer in late January, and after maturing under Bob's Market's green thumb, the plants arrive ready to be placed into the beds sometime after the final front date the second week in May.
This year, Webb and his crew pushed the plant date back a little further in an effort to ensure that the plants were still in prime condition for the PGA TOUR's annual stop at The Greenbrier, A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier. A date change moved the golf tournament from early-July to early-September, and Webb and his team adjusted their timelines accordingly.
"We're trying to pick plants that have more of a longevity to carry into the year," said Webb. "There has been less pressure this year. We've been able to slow down our pace a little, and that puts less stress on the plant."
Still, even with the adjusted timeline, Webb and his crew of 6-8 manage to get all of the summer plants in the ground in a span of about four weeks.
That crew of 6-8 doesn't include the work on the golf courses, where John Burns and his crew work to plant around 25,000 plants to showcase for the thousands of golfers who walk the fairways each summer. Read more about his story here. In total, more than 90,000 plants are showcased throughout the property.
One set of beds that requires some special attention is located at the North Entrance to the hotel. The North Garden is one of seven in the United States designated as a Proven Winners Signature Garden, a title it first obtained in 2016.
The Proven Winners Signature Garden designation is a prestigious certification representing a partnership between Proven Winners and elite, exclusive, high profile properties across the country.
The goal of this partnership is to develop a mutually beneficial collaboration involving the property's staff horticulturists (or the landscape maintenance professional), the landscape architect or designer, and local nurseries or growers supplying Proven Winners plants, all working together to develop a landscape and garden presentation featuring Proven Winners prominently on the property.
In addition to providing a stunning showcase of Proven Winners plants, a Proven Winners Signature Garden promotes the location for visitors and guests, garden clubs, trade groups, and landscape professionals — providing a showcase display garden for all involved.
"Proven Winners plants are unbelievable," said Webb. "The difference in how they grow is amazing.
"It's almost like a billboard," Webb continued of the garden. "So many people walk through their every day, and we have a brochure available to tell them about every plant they see."
In planting this particular garden, Webb works with members of the Proven Winners team, such as Zeke Cooper, to come up with the ultimate design and find Proven Winners plants to fill the beds. See a video of the process here.
The relationship goes far beyond the North Garden. Proven Winners uses The Greenbrier to test some of its trial plants, before they are offered to the public, and the company has also worked with Webb's team to enhance many of the hiking trails around the property with native plants that add to the experience.
Anytime Webb needs assistance, Proven Winners is there.
"They help me in a lot of ways," he said. "The partnership is very valuable to us."
The summer planting is just one of several throughout the year.
The next will come this fall, when red, yellow and orange mums replace the summer flowers that currently fill the beds.
The plan is to start that fall planting as soon as A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier concludes, though Webb and his team will continue to monitor that timeline closely.
"We had some mums planted that will be ready early if necessary," he explained. "We want to be ready just in case something fails."

In order for the necessary programs and resources to be developed that will support returning citizens, it is paramount to promote an understanding of a valuable and often ignored resource: the formerly incarcerated who have successfully transitioned back into society. Through strategic outreach, and the networks of our partners, the campaign will ensure that formerly incarcerated individuals play a starring role in each of the other initiatives listed below.
The campaign will develop state-specific strategies in targeted locations, coordinated with reentry events or programming already in development. Screenings of the film will feature local stakeholders; law enforcement, district attorneys, judges, state and city agencies and staff that implement reentry programming, corrections officers, substance abuse clinicians, churches and ministries, other NGOs and key personnel.
Screenings will include facilitated conversations to work toward local solutions, including but not limited to: sharing best practices, establishing a local speaker's bureau for the formerly incarcerated, and any other activities that help to build a seamless connection between prisons and jails and community-based programs.
Recognizing the need to educate communities about the realities of incarceration and offer opportunities to get involved, the general public will be included in screening conversations in order to provide an interconnected framework of support for returning citizens. Politicians, reentry or corrections staff or local residents who were formerly incarcerated and are now serving as mentors will be invited to speak about the issues from a local perspective. Conversations will revolve around breaking down common stereotypes and barriers specific to their location. Intended outcomes from these events include increased involvement from the community in mentoring, donation and volunteer opportunities within local reentry programming.
Beyond the Wall will continue to screen in correctional facilities. Through these screenings the campaign aims to stimulate new conversations about reentry and support preparation of individuals for release. Ultimately, this can strengthen reentry and create more successful transitions into treatment programs.
A campaign-focused discussion guide will provide additional resources for further involvement in the campaign. The guide will include questions and other prompts for conversation following the film and will be listed for any group screening the film with action opportunities. Additional anecdotes that could not be included in the film but may be helpful in the discussion of criminal justice reform will be included as well.
The After Incarceration, There's Life campaign relies on the understanding of complex issues and, often, the breaking down or reassessing of previously-held beliefs. The campaign intends to reach a wide audience—outside of it's screening series—by producing a number of digital materials, soundbytes, infographics and memes that will be created to help spread the philosophy and ideas of the campaign on social media. These pieces can be easily adopted and re-branded by organizations working within the criminal justice reform space and will be highly share-able.


The thing I like most about living in the ice belt is looking forward to the changing seasons. I think of these calendar events as fishing milestones. The changing of the seasons naturally rejuvenates our spirit and gives us the motivation and drive to get outside, stretch our legs and also to spend some time fishing.
One of the many seasonal milestones I look forward to is the magic of first ice. It's on first ice that the best hard water action of the year takes place. This magic extends to a host of different species, but in my mind nothing beats targeting crappie in December.
I have a soft spot for crappie because this species is locally abundant. Within a 30 minute drive of my northern Michigan home, I can access half a dozen lakes that routinely produce limit catches of crappie on first ice. Over the years I've been blessed to be able to spend a lot of time with my family targeting these fish and making great memories.
Crappie have a reputation for being hard to find and fickle to tempt into biting. Actually crappie are pretty easy to get to bite compared to bluegills, sunfish and other popular panfish species. The problem with crappie is they can be tough to find.
A big part of why crappie are elusive is because crappie tend to be found in different places in different lakes. For example, near my home is a small natural lake that features deep water very close to shore. On first ice we routinely find good numbers of crappie suspended near bottom in water from 20 to 30 feet deep.
These fish are easy to find on sonar and they are also eager to strike almost any soft plastic or live grub I drop down. In fact these fish are so aggressive that I often rig up with a two jigs on my line. Catching a double header with a nice slab crappie on each jig is common.
Meanwhile, at the same exact time a different lake just a couple miles away finds the first ice crappie bite taking place in about three to six feet of water among patches of cabbage weeds. The noise of walking around and drilling holes tends to scatter these fish, so we routinely start our day by cutting enough holes to keep us busy for a few hours of quiet fishing.
After cutting all those holes it takes awhile for things to quiet down and for the fish to settle in before the bite starts. We've learned to be patient and wait for the fish to go back on the feed.
first ice. Crappie use different habitats depending on the body of water.
Assuming the fish will always be shallow on first ice is a big mistake.
Crappie are where you find them and the only way to do that is to punch a lot of holes and cover as much water as possible. On first ice my spacious two man portable ice shack stays home and instead I fish from a ultra light one-man flip. My goal is to remain as mobile as possible taking with me just the gear I need including a portable sonar unit, a couple rod/reel combinations, a small box of jigs and tear drops, an assortment of plastic baits and live grubs, an ice auger and scoop.
I rarely spend more than 10 to 15 minutes in one spot unless I'm lucky and sit down on a good sized school of fish. More often I find myself moving frequently picking off a fish or two here and a couple there. A typical morning or evening of fishing will require cutting about 10 to 20 holes.
This kind of willingness to remain mobile is sometimes called "ice trolling" because the most successful anglers are constantly on the move. Those very anglers are routinely rewarded with the best catches.
Clearly in crappie fishing there is a time to run and gun and a time to sit tight and be patient. This kind of knowledge only comes from experience and learning first hand what works best on any given body of water.
In next week's Fishing 411 blog part two of The Magic of First Ice will explore tactics for catching more crappie.


Last Monday I voted early by mail. On Tuesday I wrote a post giving my rationale for why I voted the way that I did.. it is still sitting in my draft pile.. I decided that it really looked a bit too much like an endorsement of one of the candidates.. and I am really not comfortable doing that.
So my advice.. if you haven't voted yet is to vote the way that I did - get informed.. find out everything that you can about the candidates - then vote your gut.. follow that inner voice.. whatever you call it.. be true to yourself when you vote.. don't pay attention to the pundits or the squawking heads.. or other bloggers.. just follow your conscience.. you will be glad that you did.
Good advice! ^_^ Now all we can do is pray that the election and the aftermath go well.

Экзарха́т (от  «внешняя власть») — в Византии в конце VI-VII веков административно-территориальная единица, наместничество за пределами митрополии.

В современном православии и католицизме восточных обрядов — особая административно-территориальная единица, зарубежная по отношению к основной церкви, либо специально созданная для окормления верующих данного обряда в особых условиях.

Православные экзархаты
Экзархаты первоначально (Равеннский и Карфагенский) были созданы на западе Византийской империи на землях, отвоёванных у варваров. Особое положение этих районов требовало создания здесь милитаризованного и централизованного управления: экзархи (наместники) возглавляли и военные силы, и гражданскую администрацию экзархата. Иногда экзархаты рассматриваются византинистами как прообраз фемы.

Сейчас термин обозначает зарубежную по отношению к государству того или иного патриарха административно-территориальную единицу в данной православной Церкви во главе с экзархом. Экзарх является наместником патриарха, в его подчинении могут находиться епископы и митрополиты.

В Российской империи в синодальный период существовал Грузинский экзархат, образованный в 1811 году. В 1917 году после одностороннего ухода из юрисдикции Русской православной церкви грузинских приходов он был преобразован в Кавказский экзархат, упразднённый в 1920 году.

В советское время в составе Русской православной церкви находились: Украинский экзархат (1921—1939, 1945—1990); Западноевропейский экзархат (1931—1990); Прибалтийский экзархат (1941—1944); Североамериканский экзархат (1933—1954), потом Экзархат Северной и Южной Америки (1954—1970), затем Экзархат Центральной и Южной Америки (1970—1990); Среднеевропейский экзархат (1946—1948, 1960—1990); Восточноазиатский экзархат (1946—1962).

На начало 2022 года в Русской православной церкви существуют:
 Белорусский экзархат (образован в 1989 году)
 Экзархат Западной Европы (образован в 2018 году)
 Экзархат Юго-Восточной Азии (образован в 2018 году)
 Экзархат Африки (образован в 2021 году)

Несмотря на то, что титул большинства правящих митрополитов православных церквей греческой традиции включает слова «ипертим и экзарх» (такой-то территории) в границах управляемой ими епархии, например, «митрополит Карфагенский, ипертим и экзарх Северной Африки», никаким реальным экзархатом они не управляют. Исключение составляет Патмосский экзархат в Константинопольской православной церкви, управляемый игуменом монастыря Иоанна Богослова.

Также в составе Константинопольского патриархата существовал Западноевропейский экзархат русской традиции, образованный в 1931 году приходами, вышедшими из юрисдикции Русской церкви (статус экзархата действовал в 1931—1965 и 1999—2018 годах).

Католические экзархаты
В истории было несколько примеров, когда титул экзарха присваивался епископу латинского обряда. Так в 1157 году архиепископ Лиона стал экзархом Бургундии. Однако, впоследствии на Западе термин «экзарх» был полностью вытеснен термином апостольский викарий. В настоящее время экзархаты существуют только в восточнокатолических церквях.

Восточнокатолические экзархаты делятся на апостольские, патриаршие и архиепископские. Апостольский экзархат образуется Папой, во главе его обязательно стоит епископ, однако экзархат не возводится в статус епархии. Часто апостольские экзархаты образуются на территориях, оторванных от центра конкретной Восточнокатолической церкви, но с существенным населением, исповедующим данный восточный обряд (например, экзархат Армянской Католической церкви в Америке, экзархат Украинской грекокатолической церкви в Великобритании, созданный в 2014 году Крымский Экзархат Католической Церкви византийского обряда, напрямую подчинённый Государственному Секретариату Святого Престола и др.)

Патриаршие и архиепископские экзархи назначаются главами восточнокатолических церквей — патриархами и верховными архиепископами. Эти экзархаты образуются на территориях традиционного распространения данного обряда, их главой необязательно является епископ; они могут быть суффраганными по отношению к архиепархии, а могут подчиняться напрямую патриарху или верховному архиепископу.

По состоянию на апрель 2022 года в восточнокатолических церквях насчитывается 14 апостольских экзархатов (в том числе ныне вакантный апостольский экзархат Российской грекокатолической церкви), 10 — патриарших и 5 архиепископских (все 5 в УГКЦ).

As Māori is used more the debate over how much it should be taught in schools and spoken on radio grows.
Māori words have always been used, as many place names are Māori. However the language was deliberately suppressed in an ill advised education system.
The language is making a bit of a revival, with some enthusiastic supporters and promoters, but some colonial traditionalists are trying to dig their white toes in.
And the voice which most needs to be heard, the key note of our harmony here in Aotearoa New Zealand, is the voice of Māori. Why? To extend the metaphor, the first human voices in this land were those of Tangata Whenua.
It is Māori heritage and culture which makes this country unique – as many of us Pākehā travellers have discovered when asked to "sing a song from your country" and we find ourselves limping through a half-remembered version of Pōkarekare Ana.
Singing that a bit is one of my few memories of Māori at school.
More importantly, it is thanks to the Treaty of Waitangi that we non-Māori have the opportunity to live here. We have been invited to add our voices to the original songs.
We non-Māori, including we Pākehā.
The term Pākehā has had some bad vibes for some, but when I investigated i found that the term refereed to "the soft and loud sounds of the language of Captain Cook and his sailors" load see The soft and loud of "Pākehā".
I am quite comfortable with being referred to as Pākehā, even though I do more soft than loud.
I have no problem with more Māori being taught in schools – in my time it was disgracefully ignored, along with important New Zealand history.
I don't mind some use of Māori in media, but i think that some of it is overdone. Good on RNZ for using the native language more, but for me it is sometimes overdone and I switch off.
It is probably near impossible to get the right balance for everyone. Younger people in particular who have had the opportunity to learn some Māori will benefit from it's wider use. It's not about me and my history, it's about the future of New Zealand, of Aotearoa (a name I would be happy to use if it became official).
Bits of Māori speech in Parliament is lost on me but it's probably no worse than the vast vapid verbiage used there.
I cringe when listening to our God laced dirge of a national anthem, but it is far more tolerable listening to the Māori version.
We have a unique history which has a strong Māori flavour, and that should be a part of our identity, and it should be something we can be proud of.
Māori can certainly be a harmonious language when at it's best (it's use in hakas is not at it's best). The world won't end, the sky won't fall in, and the long white cloud won't evaporate if we hear some more of it.
We can live in harmony as a multi-lingual society if we try.
Barry Soper has raised issues over what ethnicity and culture one might identify with.
My Māoriness is close to zero, but my Pākehāness is also in question.
I decided some time ago that I didn't mind being referred to as Pākehā – see The soft and loud of "Pākehā" – but I don't identify as ethnically or culturally Pākehā.
So what am I? My Europeanness feels pretty much zero – I visited a few countries in mainland Europe, once, but have never been to the UK.
I live in Dunedin but my Dunedinness is by location of home rather than a feeling of belonging. I have lived here for about half my life, but that is on five different occasions (I've moved around quite a bit), but when I was a child Dunedin was a remote, unusual place, rarely visited.
The closest I am to Scottishness, supposed to be a thing in Dunedin, is I have three grandchildren who are half Scottish, sort of – they have visited Scotland once or twice.
I don't feel particularly Lowburnish, the place where I grew up until I left for the big smoke when I got my first career job (that lasted a year). I returned to live there thrice more at different times, but Lowburn doesn't seen very Lowburnish now, since heavy machinery demolished and remodelled it, and it was then split in two by a lake. It is nothing like it was.
Perhaps Otagoness is my thing, having lived here nearly all my life, apart from a few years in Auckland in the seventies before I packed my life into a van and drove south again. But it's difficult to identity what Otagoness means.
My father was born in Dunedin but moved to Central Otago when he was very young, living inland (in four locations) for the rest of his life, apart from a tour of the world with the NZ Army in WW2. My mother was also born in Otago, living in four places also, but also living in three parts of Southland.
I may feel some southernness, whatever that may be.
But further back it gets tricky. One grandfather was born Invercargill and lived also in Bluff, Port Chalmers, went to Europe for WW1 and remained for upskilling afterwards for a while, then Dunedin and Clyde before going to Christchurch to work for the Army in WW2, where he died. But my other three grandparents were born and grew up on the other side of the world. In New Zealand they all lived in various places, mostly in southern New Zealand.
I'm just 1/8 Kiwi if I go back to my great grandparents, so can I claim any Kiwiness?
New Zealandness or Aotearoaness are stretches given that Christchurch seems like quite a different place to me, let alone the other islands south, east and north.
Maybe Earthness is my thing, I do feel some affinity with the planet I and my ancestors have lived on all our lives.
Another view that a few Pākehā men may not entirely agree with (and probably some non- whites and non-men).
For the past few weeks, New Zealand has dwelt on Metiria Turei (Ngāti Kahungunu) and her admission of benefit fraud. Many were quick to label the move divisive, a ploy for votes, and condemned Turei for what they saw as a lack of remorse.
Turei was persecuted by media agents with no concern for her hauora or that of her whānau.
For Māori, mainstream media is mired in colonial framing, misrepresentation and exclusion—yet mainstream media continues to insist its coverage is non-partisan. Metiria Turei conceded the scrutiny on her whānau was unbearable, and she resigned as Green Party co-leader last Wednesday.
The voices of Pākehā men were once again triumphant in drowning out the Māori worldview.
Aoake may have a reasonable point but she has expressed it unreasonably.
It is ridiculous to assert that all the 'drowning out' was by Pākehā men.
Media treatment of Māori and Māori issues is deeply prejudiced.
Research conducted by Māori academics between 2006 and 2007 analysed close to 2000 stories across ONE news, 3News and Prime. In total, only 1.8 percent of stories referenced Māori. Of that 1.8 percent, 56 percent were concerned with child abuse.
That's ten years ago and may or may not be out of date, but it raises an important point. But having started by slamming 'Pākehā men' she will have turned off a substantial potential readership before she got to detail her case.
Representations of Māori, and our stories, remain under the control of Pākehā-owned television, radio, and print media.
That is absurd. Ownership of media is varied. Some media is probably dominated by Pākehā men, but where is the evidence? I'm sure there must be some. I have concerns about how some media is run.
Some media is Maori controlled. I watched a couple of very interesting programmes on Maori television last night, that is a very good channel.
There is nothing stopping Māori people setting up and owning and running media.
Journalism is informed by Western pedagogies, which emphasise the need for objectivity, but the definition has shifted over time. Journalists recognised bias as inherent, and resolved to develop the practice to test information and prune any cultural or personal bias. Objectivity, in a modern context, translates as free from bias.
Purging journalism of an unmoderated bias to which it freely confesses is impossible.
Purging media of anything, including of 'Pākehā men', is impossible – and it would be abhorrent to try. I'm fairly sure most people including most Maori would have serious concerns about targeted purges of media.
In 2005, Aotearoa was visited by UN Special Rapporteur Rodolfo Stavenhagen—he was responsible for assessing the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Māori. The report, published in 2006, was damning. His findings suggested there was a systemic attitude of racism towards Māori within the media.
I think things have changed in the past decade, but systemic attitudes of racism are no doubt still a problem. Aoake is promoting a sexist racist attack of her own, it just happens to be not against Māori.
He found that potential Māori ownership of resources is portrayed as a threat to non-Māori and that a recurring theme is Māori as incompetent managers or as fiscally irresponsible.
I don't understand this. If Maori want to own media then they should choose to do that.
In his recommendations, he advocated for the establishment of an independent commission to monitor media performance and intervene with remedial action when necessary.
Intervention and remedial action would be very tricky, and potentially dangerous.
He also pleaded with political figures and media outlets to refrain from using language that may incite racial intolerance. The glaring scrutiny which prompted the resignation of Metiria Turei is evidence that mainstream media has made little to no progress.
"The voices of Pākehā men were once again triumphant in drowning out the Māori worldview" looks like language that may incite racial intolerance.
I don't see how racism can be defeated by promoting a different slant of racism.
Aoake quotes Patrick Gower and Barry Soper as examples of the male Pākehā problem in media. This is very selective. I saw many articles written by females, and by Maori.
I presume Aoake knows that Gower and Soper have no Māori genes. It's not uncommon to make inaccurate assumptions – when Green MP David Clendon withdrew from the Green list he was slammed by some for being a 'white male'. Looks can be deceiving – Clendon no doubt has some non-Māori genes, but he is also tangata whenua.
The need to demonise the poor and impoverished, to distract from the issue of a broken safety net, to stifle a Māori voice is indicative of an experience shrouded in privilege. The approach is necessarily punitive by design. It is an offensive which, when successful, exacerbates the division of wealth and equality, the "us versus them" rhetoric. Both for Turei and Māori women, navigating post-colonial Aotearoa is exhausting and arduous.
We prune and trim, yanking the weed out by the root on our hands and knees. We sow seeds to harvest and bloom when the time is right. We scrub the blood and dirt from the beds of our fingernails. We sleep heavily, satisfied that our labour will make an impact. In the morning, we wake to find the weeds overgrown, the soil infertile, and the flowers wilted. Yet still, we persist. We rise every morning, repeat the mahi, and reclaim our whenua.
It's good to see Māori women who strongly promote what they believe in.
But when they make mistakes, as Turei did, they must not be immune from examination and criticism, even if they are Māori and female and left wing.
Entrenched problems need to be vigorously fought against. There are entrenched problems in media and in politics.
But in combating them a criticism free pass should not be given to someone simply because they may be a minority. As a white middle class male I'm a minority, but that shouldn't give me any special immunity from criticism or examination.
Pākehā men who are politicians get investigated and criticised by media more than anyone – because there are more of them than any other minority.
There may well be bias and different races and different genders may be treated differently. By all means try to measure and monitor bias and try to address it.
But it's racist, sexist and counter productive to protect Turei from criticism based on her gender and genes, while slamming and trying to exclude all Pākehā men.
Many Pākehā men would (and do) support promotion of better media and better politics. Isolating and ostracising them as a group won't help.
Amongst the claims of unity amongst Maori there is still plenty of confusion.
Confusion about what unified Maori will ask for.
And confusion over what water rights and ownership means. There have been a number of attempts to define that in the past and it's still not clear.
There should be recognition of the precarious position of Maori unity over water, a central figure says.
Waikato-Tainui's Tom Roa has welcomed more than 60 heads of tribes to the Iwi Chair's Forum today at Turangawaewae Marae.
But what are 'Proprietary rights in water?
Mr Roa said discussions with Watercare had been promising.
Yesterday, Te Rarawa's Haami Piripi said he supported both the Iwi Leaders Group and the Maori Council. But it was clear the ILG with the government hadn't yet achieved the aspirations around water management and kaitiakitanga for Maori.
But we still don't seem to have any clear consensus about what sort of ownership is being claimed.
The sell-down of Mighty River Power was an opportunity to get movement on both rights and ownership, he said.
I think that sentiment is what is escalating this – there's a clear impression that some Maori (just some) are simply opportunists intent on using the current situation to extort what they can. I may be interpreting that incorrectly but it's how many people see it.
Once Maori are settled on their unity they need to unify their motives and clarify what they are seeking in water rights.
One thing's for sure, there's a lot of water to flow under this yet, and we somehow need to bridge the divides.


Great technologies that change the world, and open doors for others, are very often linked to the research laboratories at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
So it should surprise no one that the biggest technology investment deal in Israel's history began modestly in the lab of Professor Amnon Shashua. His groundbreaking computer vision algorithms enabling cars to detect people and objects formed the basis of Mobileye, and stand to drastically reduce the number of accidents in both driver-operated and autonomous vehicles.
Last year, U.S.-based Intel Corporation purchased Mobileye for a reported $15 billion, and the company estimates the technology and data it collects will be worth up to $70 billion by 2030.
In the latest development, Mobileye announced a deal with an unnamed European carmaker to equip 8 million cars with its advanced driver assistance systems.
Now one of Israel's most successful entrepreneurs, Professor Shashua is proud of his roots and his tenure as Sachs Chair of Computer Science at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. That chair was established by brothers Keith (z"l) and Herb Sachs of Pennsylvania, longtime supporters of the university and AFHU.
A generous gift of $6 million from Mobileye Vision Technologies Ltd. will fund the development and enhancement of world-class research and teaching laboratories, as well as classrooms and staff offices at the Rachel and Selim Benin School of Computer Science and Engineering at the Hebrew University's Edmond J. Safra Campus.
We're proud and grateful that the next generation of innovators will be reminded of and inspired by this success as they walk through those doors, ready to write the code that will power a brilliant high-tech future.


Sweet potatoes are known to help stomach ulcers and inflamed conditions of the colon.
Sweet potatoes appear to play a part in preventing cancer in certain organs and glands due to its high Vitamin A content.
Due to the high content of Vitamins A and C, sweet potatoes help remove free radicals which damage cells.
Sweet potatoes are great for people with diabetes because they help stabilize blood sugar levels.
Squash & Pumpkin. These two foods are closely related, and actually come from the same family of vegetables, known as squash. They're loaded with fiber as well as beta-carotene.
The squash family of vegetables is great at fighting off cancer, especially lung cancer, reducing the risk of heart disease and aiding in fighting against type-2 diabetes.
Pumpkins specifically are great for urinary tract support and aid in the function of the kidneys. Years ago, pumpkin seed oil was even used to treat burns and wounds.
While cooking foods typically removes some of their nutrients, this isn't so with carrots. Lightly cooking them actually helps to release the carotenes, which are otherwise trapped.
Mangoes are high in iron and help fight against anemia and reduce kidney problems, fever, and respiratory problems. They can even relieve clogged pores of the skin.
Because of the vitamins and antioxidants in an orange,they've been proven to help with asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, prevention of kidney stones, high blood pressure, arthritis and diabetes.
Oranges eaten in larger amounts can even decrease a runny nose.
The one thing papaya has been known for around the world is its ability to prevent nausea, including morning and motion sickness if taken in the juice form.
