Kingdom | Phylum | Class | Order | Family |
Plantae | Tracheophyta | Liliopsida | Arecales | Palmae |
Scientific Name: | Deckenia nobilis | |||
Species Authority: | H.Wendl. ex Seem. | |||
Common Name(s):
Synonym(s): |
Iriartea nobilis (H.Wendl. ex Seem.) N.E.Br.
Taxonomic Notes: | The only species in the genus Deckenia representing a unique evolutionary lineage. |
Red List Category & Criteria: | Vulnerable B1ab(iii)+2ab(iii) ver 3.1 |
Year Published: | 2011 |
Date Assessed: | 2007-02-01 |
Assessor(s): | Ismail, S., Huber, M.J. & Mougal, J. |
Reviewer(s): | Baker, W.J. & Lutz, M.L. |
Justification: Deckenia nobilis is endemic to the Seychelles, and is found on Mahé, Praslin, Silhouette, La Digue, Curieuse and Félicité (six locations). The extent of occurrence (EOO) and area of occupancy (AOO) were not measured but they are estimated to be less than 20,000 km² and 2,000 km² respectively (the total area of the six islands is 232 km²). This species is experiencing a decline in the quality of its habitat due to the invasion of alien species, human settlements, infrastructure and tourism. In the past, harvesting of edible palm hearts (Millionaire's Salad) was an important threat to this species, but it is now legally protected. It is therefore listed as Vulnerable. |
Previously published Red List assessments: |
Range Description: | This species is endemic to the Seychelles, and is found on the islands of Mahé, Praslin, Silhouette, La Digue, Curieuse and Félicité (Robertson 1989, Dogley and Matatiken 2006). The EOO and the AOO were not determined, but the total area of the six islands is 232 km2 (National Statistics Bureau 2005). In 1994, the species was recorded in 36 sites of total 73 surveyed areas of special conservation value (Carlström 1996). This represents the broad distribution of D. nobilis that still can be observed. | ||
Countries occurrence: | Native: Seychelles (Seychelles (main island group)) | ||
Additional data: |
| ||
Range Map: | Click here to open the map viewer and explore range. |
Population: | The current population trend is unknown. It has recently established in new areas. In the Vallée de Mai National Park, the increase in abundance between 1985 and 2005 ranks first compared with the other endemic palms (Fleischmann et al. 2005). But this situation is of course not representative for Seychelles lowland habitats, which are affected by a number of threats. | ||
Current Population Trend: | Unknown | ||
Additional data: |
Habitat and Ecology: | Erect palm tree sometimes up to 30-40 m tall but frequently much smaller. It was probably one of the co-dominant species in the canopy in the former forests of the drier type on well-drained soils and on exposed cliff ledges at low and intermediate altitudes from sea level up to 600 m. The species is dispersed by frugivores (Kronauer 2005). |
Systems: | Terrestrial |
Use and Trade: | Palm hearts were used for the original Millionaire's Salad. Fallen leaf bases were frequently used in the past as water containers. Nowadays some individuals are removed from wild populations for ornamental reasons. |
Major Threat(s): | This species is not highly threatened at the moment. It has a restricted range and threats like the reduction of habitat by invasive species, human settlements, infrastructure and tourism development occur at low rates. It was exploited for food (Millionaire's Salad) and horticultural reasons in the past. The exploitation is now prohibited (Laws of Seychelles 1991). |
Conservation Actions: | The species is legally protected (Laws of Seychelles 1991) and is represented in the Morne Seychellois and the Praslin National Parks and in the Curieuse Marine National Park. |

"Dancing with the Stars" (8 p.m. Monday, KTNV-TV, Channel 13) is back for it's 18th incarnation, and this time it may have stretched the term "star" past its breaking point.
It's somewhat surprising the announcement of this year's cast didn't crash Google as fans scrambled to find out who most of these contestants were.
But that hasn't stopped Johnny Avello, director of race and sports operations at Wynn Las Vegas, from picking his favorite: Olympic ice dancing gold medalist Meryl Davis. Her ice dancing partner, Charlie White, is Avello's second pick.
Candace Cameron Bure, who isn't famous for dancing on any surface, is projected to finish third.
Here are Avello's odds, for entertainment purposes only, for this season's cast of "Dancing with the Stars":
Meryl Davis: 4-1
Charlie White: 5-1
Candace Cameron Bure: 6-1
Amy Purdy: 7-1
Danica McKellar: 8-1
James Maslow: 11-1
Cody Simpson: 14-1

Eagerly awaiting my HiFi M8 ordered on March 18. Anyone have word on shipping from Centrance?
I use the HiFi-M8 with the LCD-2. Works great through both balanced and single-ended.

Comment Surely this is just a poor implementation (Score 1) 245
A while ago (admittedly 4 years) I worked on the ATM side of an EMV chip and pin implementation. Yes the chip can lie to the terminal and yes the terminal can lie to the bank. But all results of a transaction from the card/chip result in the generation of a small cryptographic token generated using the cards view of how the transaction went. The information included in the generation of this is variable but should at least include things like whether the card thought PIN verification was sucessful or not, the transaction amount and whether the card thought the transaction was succesful or not.
This is normally printed on the receipt and either sent online to the bank or uploaded later in a batch transfer. If the system has been implemented sensibly it shouldn't be difficult to prove that this has happened. For an online transaction I don't really see how it can happen at all in a well implemented system.

Hundreds and hundreds of readers are taking the chance to send their final pleas on the smacking bill before MPS vote.
Should it be passed? We asked you to sum up your message to MPs in one sentence.The debate is closed for now but here were more of your messages:
The Bill only provides children with the same protection that the law already gives adults and animals and will not result in parents being criminalised for trivial offences. MP's should support the repeal of section 59.
The people have spoken. Do we live in a democracy or left wing "nanny state knows best" dictatorship?
Phil Forsyth
Yes they should, just keep out of our homes. Go after the bad ones not those who are doing the their best to bring up good children.
Daniel Godfey
How about listening to what the people who put you in power want instead of deciding what is best for us as if we don't know ourselves.
John Nolan
To the Labour party: I voted for you last time but I certainly won't do at the next elections.
Repeal this bill, listen to the people that elected you.
Andrew F
Anyone who supports this bill has clearly never had to raise difficult children, controlled smacking is sometimes the only thing that works, and to actually criminalise parents for it is just unbelievable!
Pass the bill, the majority of New Zealanders are ignorant parents if they think the only way to discipline their children is by smacking them, they need re-educating.
Pam T
If the government is wondering why there are a Lot of Kids on the street, and gangs fighting everywhere than they should look in the mirror!! It's all because of their stupid plans. I'm 20 yrs, and I have young brothers who tend to think they can do what they want. They threaten my parents and say they can do whatever they like. My parents have no say, no power. There's no more discipline in my family because of the Rules of this country!!!
Bruce Nicholson
We are totally opposed to Bradford's bill.
Please use your common sense and vote against Sue Bradford's contemptuous bill. Government officials are appointed to serve the public interest, not to further their own personal interests.
Matthew Pilott
The public is stunningly misinformed about this bill, as anyone who has paid attention knows, smacking is already illegal - pass the bill, and then educate those seemingly advocating child abuse how the bill will work. (most of the other responses make me embarrassed to be a NZer)
Tina Atkinson
Listen to the people: 'we don't want this bill'
Sarah Martin
The current law has enabled parents to use hose-pipes, pieces of wood and chains to discipline their children. Of course it should be repealed.
There is a big difference between a smack, and a beating.
Trish Fowles
MP's should consider carefully public opinion and then go with an honest conscience vote of what is best for New Zealand's children.
Annette Marshall
Public opinion is flawed as there has been so much media, political bias & misinformation sensationalising this bill which only seeks to support & protect the children of N.Z.
Noel Dodunski
I am against the anti-smacking bill.
Emma Harrison
Since when did hitting children become a right? I don't have the right to smack my partner, friends or colleagues. Aren't we taught not to hurt people?
Catherine Hoyer
If the intention of this bill is to reduce child abuse, then we should address the problem at it's root cause and make sentences for child abuse more severe. Don't make parents feel guilty for doing their job properly.
Suzy Nelson
Children have the right to be protected against violence that unless this bill is passed can be justified as "discipline" by parents and caregivers. We already give adults and animals that protection, why not children?
Bill Kerton
I am a father of three, my wife and I do not support Sue Bradford's bill but we are more "gobsmacked" by Labour MPs being whipped to vote for it as a block. Having grown up watching Sue Bradford protest against everything, whatever she is selling I'm afraid we're not buying it.
Mike Cook
Educate don't legislate, removal of Section 59 will prevent Police and the Court's from applying discretion to reported incidents, there will be demand from do gooders to pursue complaints - thus criminalising thousands of otherwise law abiding citizens.
P Holmes
This bill should not be passed in Parliament. Will never vote for Labour again if it goes through.
Howard Goold
I am amazed at the inconsistency of parliament to be considering the criminalisation of parents who wisely correct their children, with a smack after they are born, yet you allow eighteen thousand babies to be legally killed before birth. This is legalised child abuse of an horrendous scale. That the government has the temerity to coerce all its members to surrender their conscience vote, when a huge majority of New Zealanders has spoken out against this bill, is appalling. Be honest please, in handling our nation's affairs.
Maybe the government should stop smacking the hand of ordinary good Kiwis and get on with the job of administrating.
Bad family values, and drug causes child abuse!! Not smacking. This BILL will only make criminals out of us law abiding citizens. Children need to be disciplined, be it with passive encouragement or sometime smacks to the bottom!! I think this country is turning to a communist country or something!!! Next I bet they will someday restrict us to one child per family because NZ is getting crowded!!
Listen to what we the public are saying - We do not want this Bill.
Gillian Holmes
Why are so many people up in arms about their right to use violence on the most innocent powerless members of society, namely our children who we as adults are taught to protect?
To vote Labour is a vote for dictatorship! Spare the rod, spoil the child, never did me any harm (now a 34 year old mum of 2, and I am one of the few that gets to stay home with her kids).
Tim Forlong
Take a cue from John Key...change your stance if the majority of your voters differ to you on an issue!
Ken Neighbours
If the anti-smacking bill is passed, the Labour Party would have clearly shown by their absolute arrogance and ignorance that they do not believe in democracy.
Sam MacGeorge
Won't make a toss of difference to the abusers and all the difference to good parents!
It's this simple. The Government has not right to cross our private thresholds in that manner without asking us, the voters our opinion on something so personal, and without giving us a chance to tell them what we want. It's this simple Ms Bradford and the Labour party - we put you in - we can take you out.
Were the MPs elected to government to represent Sue Bradford or their electorate - let voters decide!!
Dave Greenberg
You can listen to public opinion today or listen to it when you are voted out next election!
Get Real! Do not do it.
Paul Rothery
I am a responsible parent and as such should be able to decided whether I choose to smack or not to smack. Why is yet another law being passed that imposes the will of the few onto the majority.
School teachers are already prepping children as to their "rights" in regard to this bill. One light tap we are assured wont see the police intervene, but hey the child's perspective will be that mum or dad are"bad". Two children we know in different families have already come home and said" mum you can't touch me.....and if you do I'm allowed to tell the teacher. Surely National's amendment gives plenty of clarity to what is force and what isn't? If a judge cant decipher force under that amendment then surely it says something about the caliber of people within the justice system? And for that matter lay people as jurors? Where has commonsense gone?
Norman Holtzhausen
Goodbye Helen, this is your last term in office if you persist in being so arrogant as to force through legislation that at least 75 per cent of people do not want.
Don Wilkinson
I cannot believe the arrogance of a block Labour vote on a Bill so wrong so potentially damaging and so unpopular.
Any politicians without children should not get a vote on this subject.
We already have enough problems with young people in out society who no longer have any fear of the consequences of their actions from their teachers or the police and neutering parents as well will only make it worse.
Summer Ong
Strongly disagree with the bill, as a parent, I should have the right to discipline my kids if they misbehave.
Reece Palmer
One sentence, one word, referendum.
Brad Nobilo
Stop Sue's very naughty Bill!
John High
There's no way Labour will win the next election again if this bill passes; good on them!
M Woolcott
They are elected by us, therefore our views should be listened to.
Syd Hunter
The opponents of this Bill are whipping up hysteria by focusing on the powers of parents when the Bill seeks to protect children from violence.
Godfrey Woods
Members of Parliament will ignore the wishes of the great Majority of New Zealanders at their Peril.
Matthew Webster
As a parent, I ask all MP to please listen to the public of New Zealand and do what is right: retain section 59 of the Crimes Act; any other action will have consequences at the 2008 General Election.
Fay Stevenson
The present law is sufficient to convict parents who abuse their children and allows good parents to discipline. Without fear.
Ron Lonie
The small minority of NZ people, well known for their ill treatment of children, are the ones who should be punished, not the rest of us who know the difference of a light smack as opposed to a brutal beating. Remove the stupid bill.
Rebecca Reckin
Murder is illegal but it still happens; abuse will still happen under this proposed law however decent parents will also be found guilty - ridiculous considering how tough a job parenting already is!
There are far too many namby pamby parents out there who let their offspring run riot with no consideration for anybody, a good smack on the bottom never hurt anybody, stop being so bloody PC.
Deon Thuynsma
New Zealanders do not need this bill, so politicians should listen to the voters and scrap this bill once and for all.
It is disappointing that the resistance to this Bill is largely coming from church groups, fundamentalist "christians" and those who desire to justify their own past practices and why are we not hearing from professional psychologists and educationalists who know full well that the regime of physical force on children is an abomination in a modern, sophisticated society?
If this bill passes, those MP's who made it happen need a smack on the back of the hand!
Dorothy Bowen
Don't use any violence on children; it is not acceptable against adults and not acceptable against children.
Please MPs, there are far more important issues facing NZ than this. My (future) children will be getting a smack if they misbehave (just like I did) no matter what you decide!!!
I am sure that there is a big difference between one child getting smacked on leg and another child having his/her head pushed into a wall during a senseless beating, the law needs to be looked at more closely.
As this is supposedly a democratic country then the government had better listen to the overwhelming majority of the people who are opposed to this bill, otherwise they may find themselves in the dole queue next election.
L Taylor
Slapping, smacking, wacking, no difference . All the same result, scared kids.
This bill will strip parents of their authority, create unruly children and a police state. It must not be allowed!
Margaret Kellett
This bill does not target child abusers, it targets normal people, therefore strongly oppose the bill.
Why, why, why do the politicians listen to the People?
Richard Clark
PC Madness . . . Politics and Child raising do not mix.
Carl Larson
When you mix Red and Green together you get Brown and that's the colour of the stuff this sub-standard, sub-intelligent coalition will be in if they push this through - bring it on so we can be rid of this socialist, feminist regime once and for all.
Greg Phillips
Moral absolutes have become politically incorrect under this current regime. Spare the rod & spoil the child.
Not everyone smacks their kids but sometimes it is needed, Helen Clarke hasn't had kids so it's a joke that her LABOUR Government is telling us how to bring them up. My VOTES WITH JOHN KEY for the Next Election.
Chris Chamberlain
Good on you Sue! You would feel that every generation would evolve just a little bit more, wouldn't you? Turns out you have the wrong generation to deal with. All the back-in-my-day's are driving me crazy. There's no proof that smacking a child causes violent adults; but there's also no proof that disproves this. I say, let it pass and we can judge again in a couple of years whether it has done harm or good.
Dave Hartnell
To all MPs: You are paid to represent the people of NZ. The vast majority of NZers do not wish this bill to be passed. Do what you are paid to do. This bill will not stop a minority of parents abusing their children. It's already against the law to do so and children are neglected, abused, injured and killed every day by angry parents who aren't the slightest bit interested in what laws their are. Listen to the majority of NZ and do not pass the bill. You would be far better off, finding constructive ways to assist parents to be better.
Steve Hall
Quite simple. Listen to what the people are saying or ship out of office at the next election.....and we won't even need to smack them....however tempting the thought may be.
If you are an Electorate MP, remember your voters or they'll forget you.
John Ho
Maybe just this once the Government will listen to the majority of the NZ public that we don't want this bill.
I guess it stands to reason that a minority government will represent the minority view else this stupid piece of legislation would never have gotten this far.
The bill should be scrapped.
Did the laws mean anything to the ones that abuse their children now? Good parents are going to be pilloried. We won't have to ask ourselves where we went wrong. Sue will know.
Glad I don't live in NZ - it hasn't changed from 20 years ago - still over regulated and overly politically correct. Throw this bill OUT.
Chris Faircloth
Labour voter for 40 plus years, P.C. gone mad. This bill will not help the kids that get beaten to a pulp and will give an already overworked police force an even heavier load. If it gets passed next election I shall be voting for the party that promises to overturn the bill.
Please overlook this poll-driven hysteria, reiterate the points the Prime Minister is trying to convey concerning the intentions of the Bill and deliver governance based on sound advice and judgment.
Ketan Undevia
Vote against the bill or loose my vote come next election.
Catherine M
The Bill provides children only with the same protection that law already gives to adults and animals and will not result in parents being criminalised for trivial offences. It is human rights issue.
This bill is yet another indication (remember the "Fart Tax") that its proponents have neither the intellect nor the inclination to govern competently - focus on the real issues of government and stop this ridiculous attempt to camouflage your incompetence.
Listen to the majority because it is right. Will the first time discipline happens will be when they send our children to prison. Is prison right? Where will this end - tree hugging?
At present I am a law abiding member of society. If this law passes, I will be deemed a criminal. I will lose my job, my family and my place in society. Labour will lose my vote!
Stewart Williamson
Reject this bill and listen to public opinion for a change.
Karen Renner
You have been elected representatives of the people - please listen to us and represent us.
John Caldwell
Removing corporal punishment from schools has made perfect little angels out of our school pupils - without the threat of violence they are now free to assault the poor old teachers instead. Sue Bradford's bill will be just as effective.
Arthur Hemming
NO NO NO to the law changes in the smacking bill Bradford must be out of her brain , there is a big difference in treating children with VIOLENCE and giving them a loving smack when they are really naughty.
Andy Moore
Danna, from what you have said, your mother abused you - this is obviously not ok, - a smack applied to a child's hand or bottom by a loving parent however, is a different thing - and acceptable - www.politik.co.nz has march information plus more.
Nick Cowling
More than 80 per cent of the country don't want it so as our elected representatives you should be doing what the people want ... not what you want!
Greg Theunissen
I will smack my child when it needs it, law or no law! You will not tell me how to run my family!
Daniel Maitland
This bill attempts to combine discipline into the same category as physical abuse, it would not have saved the life of the Kahui twins, the Greens will never get my party vote again should this bill pass.
Judi Jeff
Do not allow the anti smacking bill to go through PLEASE, let wisdom and common sense prevail and let us continue doing what we've been doing for a long time right under Sue Bradford's nose - bringing up our children to be good citizens of New Zealand! From a sensible mother of three.
Ian Dowdall
The government should focus on being a government (including growing the economy)..and not trying to be a 'Mother Government'. Don't try to be the parent, and let parents get on with managing their children as how they see fit.
Who knows my kids better?? You or Me?
Andrew Russell
The consequences of allowing children to get away with doing bad things unpunished are far worse than a little smack on the bottom. There is an obvious difference between a smacked bottom and child abuse. The latter is clearly not acceptable, but many politicians have gone overboard, believing the lightest disciplinary tap constitutes abuse.
Sharon Holderness
Rather than dealing with the real issues in this country the Labour party has decided to threaten law abiding citizens. They won't have my vote come the next election.
This is one of the most ridiculous insults to the general public that the touchy feely brigade have ever tried to initiate. Get rid of it & Bradford at the same time. Ignore public opinion at your peril.
The smacking bill targets the wrong people - it will not stop child abuse and murder. Its about time Parliament listened to its voting, and protesting, public!
David Munro
The Bill must be passed; New Zealand children deserve to be protected for all violence and to be safe in their homes.
Sue Bradfords bill has no place in our legislation. Too many voters in this country disagree with their employee.
This bill will not help parents or the children. Do not pass this absurd bill..
Tommy Short
This will make a great Tui billboard.
Larisa Yandall
At 26 and intending to have a family in the near future, I am disgusted that the government is trying to tell me how I should discipline my children. This is the type of government decision that causes New Zealand's youth to move overseas.
Dougal Ellis
Be brave, lead, dont follow. Send a strong message that hitting children is not acceptable.
It horrifies me to see such an important issue, which will affect all families in this country, being voted on as a party vote by Labour, supposedly in order to keep the Greens support on some future piece of legislation.
Joseph Panakal
As it stands, the coming generation stands naked to being exposed to wild mentality, and this Bill just makes it easier to breed "animal mentality". Why not ask the middle-aged who grew up with smacking, what good came out of it?
There is a huge difference between a parent lightly smacking a child to a parent who beats a child.
Kevin Browne
Sue Bradfords Bill will achieve nothing except to criminalise parents for years to come. It will be used as a weapon by disaffected teenagers who fall out with their parents years after needful corrective discipline was administered.
Mark Purcell
What we need is a law enabling the "smacking"of politicians who introduce daft legislation!
Parents - who use the odd light smack - are not the ones beating up or physically harming their kids.
Michael Vlasich
This should be conscience vote to make a decision that will affect ALL New Zealanders. A parent has a right to discipline their child (smack on the bum)not be told how to discipline by the state.
Grant Harnish
Does this foolish government and Ms Bradford really believe this bill will stop kids being abused, what do they hope to achieve? It is already law not to abuse kids. Stay out of my home!
I am a father of 3 kids under 5. I love them so I smacked them lightly when they did something wrong. They love me too and know I love them even though after I smack them.
Jessica Howie
Let New Zealanders decide if this bill goes through.
David Maynard
For too long now, this Government has penalised those who do no wrong in favour of those who do! It is time to put public intelligence into perspective and allow parents their parental right to govern their own family!
Rev Barry Tetley
As I Christian minister I will make sure my congregation remembers at the next election the identify of the parties and politicians who ignore the majority of the population who they are supposed to represent, intrude into the homes of the people to the detriment of family life…
Peter W Birch
They are voted by the public and therefore should listen to public opinion.
Its a sad indictment on the MMP system when a crackpot from a minority party can convert her ridiculous views into laws that affect the rest of us.
Alkesh Sharma
Please leave parenting to parents as they know too well what is good for their kids. Good values and discipline taught at tender age help them to become a good human being.
David Simpson
MPs consciences have been shown to be defective (refer the 18 year old alcohol drinking age) so its well overdue for them to listen to the electorate and vote accordingly.
Roy Thompson
If you truly believe in democracy, like it or not you have no choice but to vote against this bill as it is drafted, period.
Garrett Rossini
You are a pack of idiots committing political suicide. I have been a labour supporter for years, but now you are trying to run our lives in too much detail.
Ian Matsell
If the Government has any regard for democracy then it should be listening to the polls which show overwhelming support to scrap this ludicrous bill.
Inna Mitchell
MPs votes should be reflective of the public opinion.
Barry Flamank
Sue Bradfords bill will not stop abuse, but only make good parents law breakers. This bill is wrong!
Geoff Bird
Dont go contrary to public opinion - put it to a public referendum - or at least allow all Labour MPs vote on a conscience basis.
James Nimmo
What a sad state New Zealand is in when the government make it illegal to be a parent! There are already laws in place to protect children from abuse!
Liz Sanchez
Smacking is something needed to discipline a child in certain cases and it doesnt involve cruelty or physical abuse, things totally different that damage our precious ones.
Heather Weber
Dont interfere with responsible parents rights but support the family unit with good parenting education otherwise this Govt will be punished with "time out".
Not only will it turn innocent parents into criminals, but also New Zealand is already seriously under-resourced at the moment when it comes to policing the new law. We cannot cope as it is with the current criminal activity, and wasting taxpayers money along with time/resources the police dont have, is going to create further havoc.
Richard B
This bill will close the legal loophole allowing parents to indiscriminately beat their kids and call it "reasonable force". Thats not the same as "smacking" so stop twisting words.
The proposed bill is nonsense and a smokescreen for the real child abuse in our society. Not one of the children seriously abused recently would have been protected by this law.
It all seems like a "cheap attempt" to curb the real problem, domestic violence. Bottom line, NZ needs more police (that are empowered) to combat the problem. What are we going to get next in NZ, children divorcing their parents like they do in America?
Do not passed the bill. Sometimes, children need smacking to be disciplined.
Philip Dhinakar
Is there not a difference between being abusive and discipline? This bill tries to put an end to both. A generation from now you will have kids who will be smacking their parents and teachers.
Please listen to public opinion.
Chris Smuts
All the guys in parliament are too old to care and dont have young children in the house . They dont have the right to decide on this.
Gerard Willemsen
I love my kids - please dont criminalise me for giving them a tap on the bum in those situations where, like it or not, it is an appropriate form of parenting.
Listen to the public, thats their job after all.
We are supposed to live in a democracy, so listen to us!
Absolutely ridiculous! There is no way possible that this nonsense should even have been considered serious?!
Steve Joy
I oppose this Bill, I correct my son when necessary, but I do not abuse him.
S Young
If the bill is genuinely about removing the alleged protection for those who beat their children, please provide us with evidence of the alleged raft of cases in which section 59 has allowed such an abuse of justice for our children.
David Taylor
Do not vote for this bill.
Grahame Ellis
As much as I appreciate the need to protect each and everyone of us, they are giving the most powerful tool they canto the disgruntled children against the parent. It will cause no end of work for the already stretched legal and police systems, they are implementing for the 2 per cent and punishing the other 98 per cent for those few.
Cecilia Roche
The MPs should listen to public opinion, as it is our children who are being disciplined by us.
Zondervan Fa'alafi
I strongly disagree with this unethical bill about to be passed in Parliament.
Thom Grey
The definition of representative democracy is "the rule of the people through chosen representatives." As a 20 year old, this is my future you are dicing with. Grow up.
Terry Hall
Bradford will cause Labours worse election defeat, unless MPs pay serious attention to what their 70 per cent - 80 per cent of constituents are saying.
Scott Joseph
Criminalize parents---get tossed out of office.
Peter Smith
Ignore 80 per cent of the voters now, and they will likely ignore you come election time.
Emma Leon
Why are we spending all this time and energy on a bill that will affect all for the benefit of so few? Spend your time and energy making an effort to help the unfortunate children who are truly being abused and neglected.
Peter Duynstee
Once again PC is being rammed down our throats, Labour need not count on my vote at the next election.
The last time I checked, New Zealand was a democratic country. How is it possible that three quarters of the population are ignored? I wonder if we will be allowed to vote in the next elections.
Kent Peters
The arrogance of the MPs supporting this knows no bounds. Deal with the real issue not making every good parent a criminal.
Listen to public opinion and stop interferring with peoples private lives.
The Labour MPs voting against their conscience "because Helen told them to" clearly had their backbones removed a long time ago.
Rachel Boyack
Section 59 must be repealed for the future safety of New Zealands children.
Michael Fu
Please listen to the majority of the people and do not use politics at our family expenses.
Knight Richard & Karen
My wife and I strongly oppose the anti smacking bill before parliament, and support a national referendum.
Dirk Lenz
This bill is taking the interference of the state with the private affairs of its citizens beyond the limits acceptable in a free and democratic society.
Child abuse is already against the law. Passing another law will not stop it. All it will do is criminalize good loving parents!
The majority of NZs are opposed to this bill. For once listen to them!
Vote no on the smacking bill.
Ian Mete
A 1-2-3 smack to bum does not equal being thrashed; from a child grown to manhood who knows the difference.
Next in line, salary review...OK people, conscience vote!
If a child doesnt respond to a telling off or time out can I refer them to CYPS or some other government agency thus passing on the responsibility of bringing them up to the government which is indirectly what they are legislating?
Glenn Town
I believe there is no need for the anti-smacking law as parents will make the decision reasonably.
Elizabeth Cozens
I do not personally think that Government should have jurisdiction over family life in such a prescriptive way. I also think that in a democratic system such as ours the first priority that MPs have is to represent the people they were elected to represent.
John Milliken
MPs should listen to the views of the electorate - at the very least , this bill should be put to a conscience vote.
Kim Ace
MPs: Is your loyalty to your constituents, the citizens of this country or to backroom dirty politics?
Amy V
This bill has always been a ridiculous idea & why is the Government that "we" voted in not listening to those that it represents? Do not put this rubbish through, parents have a tough enough time as it is trying to raise their children!
Robert Redfearn
Dont take away the right to choose as a loving parent will always do what is best for their child.
Stop forcing politically-correct agendas - of course they should listen to public opinion.
Andrew Atkin
Labour should ram this bill through as fast as possible. They will piss so many people off, that National, if they play their cards right, should win the next election.
I think it is time Ms Bradford admits she has mis-read the mood in the country, and back down.
Susan Perry
Do not push this bill through. It will make criminals out of some of the better citizens of NZ. It will not stop the child bashing and murdering.
Mike Bryce
This current Labour Governments policies are the closest this country has ever come to Communisim, and this Bill designed to further control the people of New Zealand is just a further avenue to meet that agenda of destruction of the family unit and total State control.
I needed a light smack on the bum when I was a kid and it showed me consequences for my bad behavi

Lachemann rejoins Angels
Former manager and pitching coach Marcel Lachemann is returning to the Angels as a special assistant to new GM Jerry Dipoto.
Lachemann, 70, joins Larry Corrigan and Tim Schmidt in being officially added to the Angels' reconstructed front office today. Corrigan and Schmidt will serve as special assignment scouts for Dipoto. Previously, the Angels added Scott Servais (assistant GM) and Hal Morris (director of pro scouting).
Lachemann was the Angels' pitching coach from 1984 through 1992 and again in 1997 and 1998 after serving as the team's manager in the 1994 through 1996 seasons. The Angels went 161-170 with Lachemann as manager, including the historic collapse in 1995.
Since 2000, Lachemann has worked in the Colorado Rockies organization -- as pitching coach with the Rockies in 2000 and 2001 and special assistant to the GM the past eight years.
Lachemann was Dipoto's last pitching coach (with the Rockies in 2000) and worked with him in the Rockies' front office when Dipoto started his career in scouting. Marcel's brother, Bill Lachemann, has been a manager, coach and instructor in the Angels' minor-league system since 1985.

Is there a PLC alternative for industry?
Conference Paper
Microprocessor improvements and cost reductions outpace industrial controllers without widespread industrial acceptance. Programmable logic controller popularity is due to rugged packaging, predictability, reasonable debug capability and widespread familiarity. Equipment life cycles involve machine building, commissioning, on-site upgrading and fault finding. An alternative high-performance platform suitable for development as well as during deployment is proposed for increasingly complex tasks such as high-speed packaging, motion control, robotics, networking and remote visualization that demand faster processors programmed in a common high-level language.

The frequent changes in surnames are largely due to the fact that the Old and Middle English languages lacked definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England, as well as the official court languages of Latin and French, also had pronounced influences on the spelling of surnames. Since medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to any specific spelling rules, it was common to find the same individual referred to with different spellings. The name has been spelled Willard, Wilard, Viliard, Villiard, Wielard, Willardby, Willardsey, Willardsham, Willardstone and many more.

The Great MigrationThe Great MigrationMany English families emigrated to North American colonies in order to escape the political chaos in Britain at this time. Unfortunately, many English families made the trip to the New World under extremely harsh conditions. Overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the stormy Atlanti c. Despite these hardships, many of the families prospered and went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the United States and Canada. Early North American immigration records have revealed a number of people bearing the name Villieard or a variant listed above: in addition to Simon, aforementioned, Mary his wife; Jo Willard settled in St. Christopher in 1635; George Willard settled in New England in 1635; Richard Willard in Virginia in 1654.

Today in fat hatred and the disciplining of female bodies, we have Karl Lagerfeld sharing his ignorance with the world. How would women survive, without men telling us how we feel about our bodies or shaming us at every opportunity, for not living up to a constructed ideal which is truly damaging?
Apparently, an announcement by the magazine Brigitte's declaring that it would focus on "ordinary, realistic," women, rather than models, was enough to set him off on a fat shaming tirade. According to Karl Lagerfeld, people prefer to look at "skinny models" and not "fat mummies" Nice to know that the man has the pulse of every single person walking the planet. Apparently, skinny models only "upset fat women, who don't want to be reminded of their weight issues". Isn't it nice to know that we don't live in a culture of fat hatred, in which women are not daily shamed, for not starving themselves to fit into a size zero.
"These are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly," Lagerfeld said in an interview with Focus magazine. The creative director of the fashion house Chanel added that the world of fashion was all to do "with dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women". Lagerfeld, who is known in the trade as a designer with a particular penchant for skinny models, adopted an almost emaciated look himself a few years ago, losing a lot of weight when he went on a strict low-carbohydrate diet. He has continued to share his diet tips over the years, stating: "I only like the things that I'm allowed to eat, so it's not like I have to avoid anything, which is how I don't put on weight." Round women are real women. That's right, REAL WOMEN HAVE CURVES. Some women are naturally skinny but we have heard too many stories about eating disorders to believe for one moment that this is the norm in the fashion industry. Images of women are so skewed, that few even know what a real woman looks like anymore. When you airbrush a tiny woman like Cameron Diaz, please tell me how the hell anyone is supposed to have a realistic view of female bodies? There is nothing inherently unattractive about fat. Fat women are just as beautiful as their slimmer counterparts and when we decide otherwise, we are only submitting to patriarchal norms that are damaging. Too many women live lives on perpetual diets, seeking to alter what is natural for them. Yo Yo dieting has proved to be far more harmful, than embracing yourself and working to be fit at any size. Self depravation may work for men like Lagerfeld, but clearly they do not work for everyone. It seems to me, that Lagerfeld simply needs to let his inner fattie out for a stroll and stop projecting his issues on others. Believe it or not, there are fat women that are happily living their lives and having a grand time. The man may have been picked on or verbally abused for his weight issues, but that does not mean that all fat people are bitter. If you want to change fat hatred the way to do is not by attacking fat people but by calling out fat shaming, each and every time you come across it. The message women need to see repeatedly, is fit at all sizes and not skinny at any cost. Being skinny is not an indication of health. There is a reason why anorexia is a life threatening disease. Yet, Lagerfeld clearly denies that the unrealistic expectations of the fashion industry leads to illness. "They aren't deliberately skinny because they want to be models, they've probably had family problems or suffered from other traumas," he said, adding that he had never seen any anorexic models himself, "only extremely slim ones". Sure, the blame is certainly not on the industry that encourages women to be a size zero. How could that possibly lead to binging and purging? Some mysterious trauma must have caused the illness and not an industry that continually reduces women to parts based on their so-called fuckability. I don't know what kind of dream world Lagerfeld is living in, but fat shaming and unrealistic images of female bodies is certainly a factor in anorexia. I am happy to see that there is at least one magazine committed to change. Women do not need to starve themselves to be beautiful. We are naturally curvy and should appreciate the bodies that nature has given us. Patriarchy would love for all women to spend their days obsessed with fulfilling its ever changing standards, however; as part or respecting ourselves and validating our agency, we need to strongly reject these norms. Women are beautiful no matter what forms our bodies take on.

The tour was great. The weather was perfect and the stops were all interesting. More importantly the boat that we were on and the captain and crew were excellent.
Ivan was an excellent guide. He was very attentive to everyone on board and always made sure that the current agenda was known as well as the next days agenda was available and announced. This helped us to plan for what we would be seeing and doing as well as what was coming up.
Ivan was well schooled on Croatia - geography, history, food, wine, etc. It was enjoyable learning about Croatia.
Ivan was very patient and didn't loose his temper even when some guests were slow to show up at designated places and times."

Fronting the brilliant blue waters of the Adriatic and backed by mountains it's easily Croatia's most stunning destination, used as a setting in the popular TV show Game of Thrones.
View on mapPopular with the rich and famous, the glitzy island of Hvar is Croatia's prime party destination with legendary nightlife, flashy bars and waterfront restaurants. The 13th century Hvar Town is one of the Adriatic's best-preserved historic towns and attracts a range of visitors including families looking for a slice of unspoiled beauty on the Mediterranean with a healthy dose of natural beauty.
Mljet Island

The western side of the island is a national park that encompasses untouched Mediterranean forests and two gorgeous saltwater lakes with an island monastery that dates back to the 12th century.
Plitvice Lakes National Park

The captivating turquoise waters are rich in fish while colourful butterflies hover over the bridges and walkways that enable visitors to explore the park.
View on mapMarking the crossroads where western and eastern Europe meet, the capital city of Zagreb has been Croatia's cultural and political heart since the Middle Ages and continues to develop its own unique personality with grand Austro-Hungarian architecture standing beside harsher socialist structures.

I found out that my ggreatgrandmother's name was Ida Provard. I know Ida is either German or Irish, and I thought Provard sounded kind of German, especially if you replace the v with a w. I cannot find anyone else with this last name. There are no genealogy message boards or anything. A couple people show up in my local phone book, but I called them and they have no idea of their history. Has anyone ever heard of this surname????
