He had left me as one of his Executors and also desired that I would take charge of his Government duty, which I intend doing till I hear from you . . . as I have a large family dependant on my exertions I should be very grateful if you will recommend me to His Excellency the Governor General for the situation now vacant . . .

#2349 - Libocedrus bidwillii - Pāhautea

AKA kaikawaka or New Zealand Cedar. Named after John Carne Bidwill, an English botanist who worked in Australia and New Zealand and who was the first director of Sydney's botanic gardens.

Reachs 25m in height. Growing on both the North and South Islands, but threatened by the introduction of brushtail possums from Australia, who can easily kill the trees by eating the growing tips. The timber, if you can get it, is very lightweight, and purple in colour.

40 jobs at new Greytown medical facility

New Post has been published on https://diary.nz/40-jobs-at-new-greytown-medical-facility/

40 jobs at new Greytown medical facility

A privately funded, multimillion-dollar state-of-the-art medical facility will open in Greytown towards the end of next year, employing more than 40 people.

The medical facility, to be built on an 8000sq m commercial site on Bidwills Cutting Road, will be named Five Rivers Medical in reference to the Tauherenikau, Waiohine, Waingawa, Waipoua and Ruamahanga rivers.

The facility is the initiative of Wairarapa couple Shane and Lynnette McManaway.

The couple own “Gold Creek” Charolais and Deer farming operation at Matarawa.

“This is a dream we have had for some time … building a much-needed medical facility for people in our community,” said Shane McManaway.

“We have a growing population and an aging population here in Wairarapa as well an increased level of mental health issues affecting many in our community.”

A visual of Five Rivers Medical, which has been designed by James Silverwood of Silver Architects, and will feature a stunning schist and cedar exterior. Photo / Supplied

“We are extremely passionate Wairarapa people and we want to put something back into this community that will benefit everyone – those that live rurally and in our urban centres.”

The Five Rivers Board is made up of Chair Bob Francis, Shane and Lynnette McManaway, Company Director John Cameron, who has considerable experience in corporate governance at national and international levels, and well known property developer David Borman.

Five Rivers Medical has been designed by James Silverwood of Silver Architects and will feature a stunning schist and cedar exterior.

There will be extensive parking and the surrounding landscaping will be in keeping with Greytown’s heritage and history as the first town in New Zealand to celebrate Arbor Day.

Listen to Jamie Mackay’s interview with Shane McManaway on The Country below:

Once completed, Five Rivers Medical will feature a comprehensive wellness centre including physiotherapy, a rehabilitation gym, a pilates studio, massage therapy, mental health and counselling services.

A suite of consultation rooms will service a range of visiting specialists.

There will also be an in-house pharmacy and a full range of general practice services, previously delivered on the old Greytown Medical site.

It is expected Five Rivers Medical will employ at least 40 full time staff as well as have a team of specialists that will cater up to 5000 patients.

Five Rivers Medical Chair and spokesperson and former Wairarapa DHB Chairman, Bob Francis, said the facility will work collaboratively with Tū Ora Compass Health, the Wairarapa DHB and ambulance as well as with existing medical specialists.

“Five Rivers Medical will set a new standard of medical care in Wairarapa providing excellent health services and will attract the very best medical expertise. It will be based on best practice and ethics with a huge focus on putting the customer first,” said Francis.

“This is an amazing project and will benefit so many. With a number of specialist services soon to be available through Five Rivers Medical, it will mean some people will no longer have to drive over the hill to access these in Wellington, as they currently do. This philosophy is also in line with the Government’s Strategy around health in that they are wanting to deliver more services close to home.”

Building is expected to start later in the year with the project to be managed by well-known developer David Borman.

Borman has been behind the upgrade of numerous commercial buildings throughout Wairarapa, including the upgrade and development of Kuripuni Village and the Screening Room Cinema and Eatery.

Recently, he oversaw the build of the new Masterton netball complex on Colombo Road, the Martinbourgh Town Hall and library complex and he is currently managing the development of the new Big Save Furniture store in Queen Street.

Cardinals' firing of Steve Wilks is unfair and outrageous – Yahoo Sports

[ad_1]

When the Arizona Cardinalshired Steve Wilks last January, team owner Michael Bidwill touted Wilks’ defensive acumen and leadership, even noting that his new hire had made such a “strong impression” on him during the search process that he didn’t need to interview any of the coaching prospects who were about to take part in the Super Bowl. That group included Frank Reich, John DeFilippo…

Cardinals, Diamondbacks, Arizona Teams Honor Sen. John McCain After Death

Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald also posted a tribute to McCain. After Sen. John McCain's death Saturday, several Arizona teams paid tribute to the late politician and sports fan. The Cardinals tweeted out a statement from president Michael Bidwill, saying "the world will never be the same" without McCain's voice. "We are heart-broken by passing but know that the character, courage and conviction that he demonstrated throughout his life will forever endure," Bidwill wrote. Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald tweeted a tribute to his "dear friend." Fitzgerald and McCain developed a bond after the wide receiver joined the Cardinals in 2004. Last December, Fitzgerald penned a personal essay for Sports Illustrated on his trip to Vietnam, where McCain was a prisoner of war for nearly six years. In his essay, Fitzgerald honored McCain, a model of heroism. Former Cardinals coach Bruce Arians also tweeted a special message. McCain was also a big fan of the Diamondbacks since their inception in 1998. Before the fifth inning of their game against the Mariners Saturday, the Diamondbacks honored McCain on the Jumbotron, as well as recognizing former and active military members. The team tweeted photos of McCain at games over the years, and Diamondbacks president and CEO Derrick Hall wrote a touching tribute on his memories of McCain. Other Arizona teams shared tributes to the late senator. McCain died Saturday at the age of 81. He was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Arizona in 1982 and elected to the United States Senate in 1986. Read the full article

Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald to make decision on future ‘shortly after’ new coach is hired

The Arizona Cardinals are in the midst of some drastic changes after another disappointing season which ended without a playoff appearance. It wasn’t that long ago that the Cardinals were considered a force to be reckoned with in the NFC, but now the team looks much different with more changes to come.

With head coach Bruce Arians and quarterback Carson Palmer retiring, the future of the franchise hangs in the balance. Along with the need for a new head coach and a plan for the quarterback position, veteran wideout Larry Fitzgerald remains uncertain about his future in the NFL and will wait until after the team has hired a new head coach what he plans to do, via ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss.

“I don’t have a head coach right now so, I mean, there’s a lot going on,” the 34-year-old said. “I’m going to take some time, figure it out. Our owner and president Michael Bidwill and general manager Steve Keim are out right now interviewing head coaches.

“So, I’m interested to see what’s going to happen. I’ll make a decision shortly after, I would imagine.”

Although Fitzgerald hasn’t been able to win that elusive Super Bowl title at this point in his career, it would be safe to assume he’ll be a first-ballot Hall of Famer when the time comes. Despite being 34 and at the tail end of his career, the veteran wide receiver had another solid season in Arizona catching 109 catches for 1,156 and six touchdowns.

Fitzgerald can still produce at a high level. The longtime Cardinal was able to put up solid numbers even with a shaky quarterback situation meaning his decision may weigh heavily on whether the team can compete in what may be his final season in the NFL.

The Cardinals brass isn’t wasting any time as they have already interviewed numerous candidates to be Arians’ successor, via Weinfuss.

The Cardinals have interviewed eight candidates for their vacant head-coaching job: Eagles quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo and defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz, Panthers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, Patriots defensive coordinator Matt Patricia and linebackers coach Brian Flores, Steelers offensive line coach Mike Munchak, Vikings offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur, Cardinals defensive coordinator James Bettcher and Falcons special-teams coach Keith Armstrong.

Only time will tell whether Fitzgerald has played his last down or if the Cardinals will have their face of the franchise back for at least one more season.

Latest story from https://movietvtechgeeks.com/nfl-overcomes-donald-trumps-anthem-protest-war/

NFL overcomes Donald Trump's anthem protest war

A handful of NFL players and owners met Tuesday to discuss social issues, inequality, and other issues in the United States today, and for the first time ever, it seems like the meeting was extremely productive. What’s the different? Well, for starting, the NFL national anthem protests didn’t come up. Not once. The players and owners were able to have a legitimate, constructive conversation about the issues without it devolving into a petty argument over whether or not the flag is being disrespected. And, as a result, it went well, and it gave everyone some promise for the future—just ask Indianapolis Colts defensive back Darius Butler. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/920606910109356032 “Obviously it’s a different perspective,” said Butler. “I think that’s the most important thing when it comes to these issues, perspective and respect everyone’s right regardless of how they feel. Whether it is peacefully protesting or speaking on these issues. I think it’s important to respect everyone…It’s ongoing; it’s not going to be a resolution overnight. Obviously, these are issues important to the players. That’s what we talked about and some things going forward.” Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross was a little more concise in his review of the meeting, but he made the same point that this was a legitimate open discussion. “We heard what they had to say, and they heard us,” said Ross. “It’s open talks, and that’s a good thing.” Even the NFLPA, which is historically difficult to please, especially regarding issues of players’ rights and ensuring that everyone’s voice is heard, seemed satisfied with the content and direction of the meeting. “Today owners and players had a productive meeting focused on how we can work together to promote positive social change and address inequality in our communities,” said the NFLPA in a statement. “NFL executives and owners joined NFLPA executives and player leaders to review and discuss plans to utilize our platform to promote equality and effectuate positive change. We agreed that these are common issues and pledged to meet again to continue this work together.” Representing the NFL were commissioner Roger Goodell, head of football operations and former player Troy Vincent, and owners from 11 teams, including Jed York (San Francisco 49ers); John Mara (New York Giants); Robert McNair (Houston Texans); Arthur Blank (Atlanta Falcons); Stephen Ross (Miami Dolphins); Terry Pegula (Buffalo Bills); Michael Bidwill (Arizona Cardinals); Shad Khan (Jacksonville Jaguars); Art Rooney (Pittsburgh Steelers); Jeffery Lurie (Philadelphia Eagles); and Robert Kraft (New England Patriots). Joining Darius Butler on the players’ side were Josh Norman of the Washington Redskins; Kelvin Beachum and Demario Davis of the New York Jets; Malcolm Jenkins and Chris Long of the Philadelphia Eagles; Mark Herzlich of the New York Giants; Russell Okung of the Los Angeles Chargers; Kenny Stills, Julius Thomas, and Michael Thomas of the Miami Dolphins; former player Anquan Boldin; and executive director DeMaurice Smith and president Eric Winston of the NFLPA. Notice any names missing from that list? I’ll give you a hint: he’s the one that started the movement that eventually led to this meeting. That’s right, no Colin Kaepernick. The free agent quarterback was invited (at least by the players’ side), but he chose not to attend the meeting because of, according to his lawyer, push back from the NFL side. “Colin Kaepernick was not invited to attend today’s meeting by any official from the NFL or any team executives,” said Kaepernick’s lawyer, Mark Geragos. “Other players wanted him present and have asked that he attend the next meeting with the goal of forging a lasting and faithful consensus around these issues. Mr. Kaepernick is open to future participation in these important discussions.” Kaepernick has become a sort of de facto leader of this entire movement simply by starting it. He’s not an active public speaker about discrimination or overly involved in community efforts to address it, but he did get people talking about it, making him the face of the movement. While the national anthem protests didn’t come up and Goodell announced there will be no change to the league’s policy for now (promoting another tweet from President Donald Trump), Kaepernick was discussed. “I did bring up in the meeting how this started with him,” said 49ers safety Eric Reid. “And we need to get the messaging straight surrounding him. They heard me, and they agreed.” While it isn’t clear what exactly the owners and players discussed around Kaepernick, both sides acknowledged that this was only the beginning. One meeting isn’t going to stop the protests, but it’s a step in the right direction of ensuring the players have their grievances heard. “This is a long-term project, if you want to call it that,” said Reid. “There wasn’t much that was going to happen in a two-hour meeting. We are going to continue to meet, continue to have dialogue, and figure out a way to get these issues on track. We started [kneeling] to raise awareness and to effectuate change. We’re on the path to make the change we think we can make; we are just not there yet.” Yay! Real progress! What a time to be alive!

Bidwill's gardener, George Dart, remembered:

After we crossed the bar and coming into the river, scores of naked blacks swam to the schooner and boarded. They explained to the captain where the deep water was, pointing the way the schooner would have to go. When we arrived at the wharf at the "Old Township" there were more naked blacks, male and female, about the wharf, more so than whites. As soon as they commenced to discharge the cargo of the boat, which was principally flour, a train of blacks began carrying the 200lb. bags of flour to Mr. H. Palmer's store and other places on their heads, and all in rotation. In fact, nearly all the discharging of vessels in those days was done by the naked blacks.

NFL owners to consider rule requiring players to stand for national anthem

The owners will discuss the rule next week in New York.

NFL owners will reportedly consider a rule change that would require players to stand during the national anthem, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The discussions around the rule happened on Tuesday, where NFL players met with owners.

For the players, Anquan Boldin, Darius Butler, Russell Okung, Kenny Stills, Julius Thomas, Michael Thomas, Mark Herzlich, Kelvin Beachum, Demario Davis, Eric Reid, and Josh Norman were representatives. From the NFL and NFLPA, DeMaurice Smith, Eric Winston, Don Davis, Roger Goodell, and Troy Vincent represented, while Michael Bidwill, Arthur Blank, Terry Pegula, Robert McNair, Shad Khan, Stephen Ross, Robert Kraft, John Mara, Art Rooney, Jeffrey Lurie, and Jed York represented owners.

The NFL and NFLPA released a joint statement after the discussion:

Last Wednesday, President Donald Trump tweeted his support of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell:

It is about time that Roger Goodell of the NFL is finally demanding that all players STAND for our great National Anthem-RESPECT OUR COUNTRY

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 11, 2017

The NFL then released a statement, trying to separate themselves from Trump’s comments:

Commentary this morning about the Commissioner’s position on the Anthem is not accurate. As we said yesterday, there will be a discussion of these issues at the owners meeting next week. The NFL is doing the hard work of trying to move from protest to progress, working to bring people together. Commissioner Goodell spent yesterday with Miami Dolphins players, law enforcement and community leaders witnessing first-hand the outstanding work our players and clubs are doing to strengthen their communities. Players from around the league will be in New York next week to meet with owners to continue our work together.

Colin Kaepernick sat for the national anthem during the 2016 preseason, before converting his protest of police brutality and inequality people of color face in the United States into a kneel.

After Kaepernick’s protest was noticed, many players followed his lead, including others around the country in other sports and levels of sport.

Discussions around the national anthem were raised after President Donald Trump attacked NFL players who kneel while it is played. Trump said at a rally in Alabama that NFL owners who have players “disrespecting the flag” by kneeling should say “get that son of a bitch off the field right now, he’s fired.”

It led to a Week 3 in the NFL that showed many different demonstrations, from kneeling, to linking arms, to not coming out for the anthem at all.

In Week 5, Vice President Mike Pence left the Colts’ game after 49ers players took a knee for the national anthem. Pence sent out a series of tweets before firing off a prepared statement in what appeared to be a planned PR stunt.

I stand with @POTUS Trump, I stand with our soldiers, and I will always stand for our Flag and our National Anthem. http://pic.twitter.com/B0zP5M41MQ

— Vice President Pence (@VP) October 8, 2017

Later that afternoon, Jerry Jones told reporters that players who “disrespect the flag” wouldn’t be playing, echoing the sentiment that Trump delivered at his rally in Alabama.

Jerry Jones: "If there is anything disrespecting the flag, then we will not play. Period. We're going to respect the flag and I'm going to create the perception of it."

Last Tuesday, Trump tweeted that tax laws should be changed so that the NFL doesn’t get “massive tax breaks while at the same time disrespecting our Anthem, Flag and Country.”

The NBA has a rule that forces players to stand for the national anthem. The league and deputy commissioner Mark Tatum reiterated the rule in a memo to teams and players recently. The rule reads:

2) Players, coaches, and trainers are to stand and line up in a dignified posture along the sidelines or on the foul line during the playing of the National Anthem.

Tatum’s memo says teams could have players or coaches give a joint pregame address, or prepare a video tribute or PSA speaking about issues they care about, per ESPN’s Zach Lowe.

ESPN obtained a letter that Roger Goodell sent to teams last Tuesday saying that, like many fans, the league believes players should stand for the national anthem.

It is an important moment in our game. We want to honor our flag and our country, and our fans expect that of us. We also care deeply about our players and respect their opinions and concerns about critical social issues. The controversy over the Anthem is a barrier to having honest conversations and making real progress on the underlying issues. We need to move past this controversy, and we want to do that together with our players.

Building on many discussions with clubs and players, we have worked to develop a plan that we will review with you at next week’s League meeting. This would include such elements as an in-season platform to promote the work of our players on these core issues, and that will help to promote positive change in our country.

Trump picked a battle with NFL players, but with owners who donated to his campaign, he might get what he wants if the rule is passed.
