Police on a liquor sting in Palmerston North were unhappy about patrons staggering from a city bar and falling over drunk in the street.
''It was a very disappointing way to end the night,'' Sergeant Glenn Ryan said.
Also disappointing was that two licensed premises were selling alcohol to an underage volunteer, with one selling booze illegally twice in two hours on Saturday night.
Concerns were also raised over the monitoring of the drunkenness at that establishment, which was not named.
''Upon closing, many patrons required assistance walking while others lost their balance completely and fell over in the streets,'' Mr Ryan said.
Police and the Palmerston North City Council liquor licensing inspector would have ''lengthy discussions'' with the licensee of the premises that made two sales, he said.
''At this premises the crowd controller asked for identification and, despite the volunteers saying they did not have any on them, they were allowed entry and were subsequently allowed to purchase.
''While it is pleasing to find the majority of premises refusing entry or service, it is disappointing to find some premises continuing to breach the most basic of provisions within the Sale of Liquor Act.''
The controlled purchase operation targeted 25 on-license premises such as restaurants, bars and cafes, two bottle stores and two supermarkets on Saturday night.
It was a combined effort by Palmerston North City Council liquor licensing inspectors, the Ministry of Health and police.
The two volunteers were girls aged 16 and 17, and were watched by a plainclothes policeman.
The legal age to start buying alcohol is 18.

If you are lucky enough to be at Camp Bestival this weekend then you can see our very own MasterChef James Nathan cooking up a storm at the Hotpoint Festival Kitchen. He'll be showing the Bestivalers how to cook a beautiful summer dish - Lemon Sole Salad Nicoise. We grabbed a few minutes with him to get the yummy recipe before he packed up his cooking gear and wellies and headed off to the sunny fields of Dorset.
Of course James is a super chef and MasterChef winner and his Lemon Sole Salad Nicoise recipe has some fancy bits, so we have two versions – his original and an adapted one with easier to find ingredients. Although the easier version might not look quite so stunning on the plate it will taste the same and still look very pretty. You can often find samphire in bigger supermarkets now and edible flowers can be gathered from your garden (carefully!) such as nasturtium, scented geraniums and borage. Both recipes will serve four people.
James' Lemon Sole Salad Nicoise Ingredients:
- 2 lemon sole, filleted
- 50g brown shrimps
- 8 small Vitellote potatoes
- 8 quails eggs
- 16 french beans
- Punnet of heritage cherry tomatoes
- 12 black olives
- 10 anchovy fillets
- Handful of wild samphire and sea purslane
- Handful of wild mustard leaves and flowers
- Sachet of squid ink
- Micro basil
- Nasturtium flowers
- 8 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 tbsp white wine vinegar
- Sea salt
- Caster sugar
- Lemon juice
Easier Ingredients List:
- 2 lemon sole, filleted
- 50g brown shrimps or prawns
- 8 small new potatoes
- 2 hens eggs
- 16 french beans
- Punnet of cherry tomatoes
- 12 black olives
- 10 anchovy fillets
- Handful of samphire
- Fresh basil
- Edible flowers (optional)
- 8 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 4 tbsp white wine vinegar
- Sea salt
- Caster sugar
- Lemon juice
Lemon Sole Salad Nicoise Method:
- Cook the potatoes and French beans and then refresh in ice.
- Cook the eggs until they are soft boiled.
- For the easier recipe go to step 4. If you are following James' Masterchef recipe then make an emulsion from the wild mustard leaves, 1 tbsp Dijon and 2 tbsp olive oil by popping in a blender until smooth. Keep to one side.
- Blend together anchovies, black olives, 1 tbsp Dijon, 2 tbsp olive oil and white wine vinegar to create another emulsion.
- Cut the tomatoes in half and sprinkle with a tiny bit of salt and sugar.
- Pan fry the lemon sole fillets by placing them skin side down in a frying pan. Put a saucer on them to weigh them down for 20 seconds to stop them curling up. Cook for two minutes and then remove the pan from the heat and let the fillets sit in the pan until they are cooked through, this will stop them overcooking. Squeeze a little lemon juice over the fillets.
- If you are doing James' version then brush an artistic swipe of squid ink on the middle of the plate.
- Arrange the fish, potatoes, French beans, tomatoes and eggs on the plate (along the back of the squid ink line if using).
- Decorate with samphire, basil and edible flowers.
- Dot with the emulsion (two emulsions for James' recipe).
The Lemon Sole Salad Nicoise is currently on the Thursday night 7 course taster menu at The Green Room Restaurant if you fancy trying James' version.

States Investigate For-Profit Chains
January 28, 2014
Several holding companies of major for-profit chains announced Monday that they have received letters of inquiry from attorneys general in a group of states, usually a dozen or so. The investigations center on business practices, such as the recruitment of students, graduate placement statistics and student lending activities, according to corporate filings. The companies include Career Education Corporation, ITT Educational Services Inc. and Corinthian Colleges Inc. The investigations have been in the works for years, and feature a growing number of for-profits.

Short Cuts
Innocent was born at Albano, Italy. He became Pope, succeeding Pope St. Anastasius I, on December 22, 401. During Innocent's pontificate, he emphasized papal supremacy, commending the bishops of Africa for referring the decrees of their councils at Carthage and Millevis in 416, condemning Pelagianism, to the Pope for confirmation. It was his confirmation of these decrees that caused Augustine to make a remark that was to echo through the centuries: "Roma locuta, causa finitas" (Rome has spoken, the matter is ended). Earlier Innocent had stressed to Bishop St. Victrius and the Spanish bishops that matters of great importance were to be referred to Rome for settlement. Innocent strongly favored clerical celibacy and fought the unjust removal of St. John Chrysostom. He vainly sought help from Emperor Honorius at Revenna when the Goths under Alaric captured and sacked Rome. Innocent died in Rome on March 12. His feast day is July 28th.

Cancer, what cancer? Six fabulous feel-good stories from A-level results day
From a bad boy cleaning up his act to 'the British Taylor Swift', these students are proof that if you want something badly enough, you just might get it
Jess Denham
Jess Denham reports on Arts and Entertainment for The Independent website.
Thursday 15 August 2013
With all this results day excitement, celebration and, inevitably, some disappointment in full flow, here are six feelgood stories of success.
A* in her eyes
Talented songstress Gem O'Reilly is celebrating getting the grades she needs for university, but has decided to pass up her English degree to make a bid for stardom. The 18-year-old from Middleton in Greater Manchester hit the seventh spot on the download country music charts earlier this year with her first EP, Teenager.
Dubbed a British Taylor Swift, she has developed quite a fan base after posting videos of her songs on YouTube and gigging in some prestigious Manchester venues.
Explaining her choice, Gem, from Rochdale Sixth Form College, said: "I've had to take quite a risky decision. I'm taking a year out to explore this very hard industry. I want to make a living out of making and performing music. I've been trying to get the best grades I can as a support behind me and try to pursue this career to wherever I can. Being young and in the music industry, you have to explore this while you are young or you will regret it later on."
The great ambulance dash
He may have been driven to an exam in an ambulance, but 18-year-old Jeremy Budd from Horfield is off to study maths at Cambridge. Suffering from Asperger's syndrome and sensory neuropathy, he has limited mobility and and lacks a sense of pain in certain situations. His statistics exam in January came under threat when heavy snow meant he was unable to walk to his school - cue St John Ambulance to the rescue!
"The exam started at 9am and I was worried I wouldn't make it. I was so grateful when the ambulance came to pick me up," he said. "I've always done well at school but today I was really surprised with my results. I am really, really happy."
Jeremy bagged himself four A*s alongside two 'outstandings' in Cambridge's Sixth Term Examination Papers. He flies to Denmark tomorrow with proud dad Chris to attend a maths conference.

Bad boy comes good
Self-confessed Great Yarmouth bad boy Nino Harris, 19, failed his first year at sixth form college after regularly skiving classes after spending school nights drinking with friends. Failure proved a shock to his alcohol-fuelled system, however, and he returned to work hard. Today, he was accepted by the University of Oxford to study for a degree in biochemistry, after scoring three A*s.
"I failed all my classes and never turned up. I would find myself waking up at 3pm and not taking anything seriously. My family didn't think I was going to get to university, they gave up on me a bit - and I don't blame them, given how I behaved. But this shows no matter how low you get, with a bit of hard work you can turn it around."
Nino's not all bad-boy-come-good though, as his U grade in general studies suggests - he ignored all the questions and drew a picture instead.

Cancer, what cancer?
Not many things can beat cancer in the adversity stakes, but Tom Woodward wasn't going to let the disease hold him back. The 18-year-old Brighton College student was diagnosed with testicular cancer part-way through his A-levels, meaning he had to juggle revision and exams while undergoing chemotherapy. Despite this, he has gained an A* in psychology and two As in English and history to secure his place at Bristol University.
"It was pretty stressful but I didn't have any choice so I had to get on with it. I'm pretty relieved now. I have been given the all-clear and I just have to have check-ups done every three months", Tom, a keen rugby player, explained.

Hitting it for six
You'd think one A* is amazing, right? Well 18-year-old Kate Prescott from Swanmore has gone and earned herself a stunning six, in maths, further maths, chemistry, physics, general studies and the extended project. The Peter Symonds' College student is now destined for Cambridge University to study natural sciences.
"I'm speechless really. I guess I did work a little bit. Really, I did work really hard, I didn't have much spare time, but I have achieved what I wanted. I'm surprised I have done so well because I had a lot of subjects so, although I was predicted A*s, I could have slipped up with some of them.
"I don't think that A-levels are getting easier; perhaps people are just getting better," she suggested. "Everyone works very hard to do well."
Kate Prescott scored a whopping 6 A*s (PA)
Dyslexia no barrier for Devon girl
Penny Banks, 17, from Honiton, will be heading to Girton College, Cambridge having tackled problems with writing to achieve a string of top A-level grades.
"I can't think in a straight line and find it really difficult to write fluidly but the support at school has really made a difference", she said. "I was finding it really difficult to concentrate in exams and now wear ear plugs - something I would never have thought of - so that I can sub vocalise better and block out any exterior sounds."
The scholar from Queen's College in Taunton has also campaigned against global hunger with the national If campaign - she even met David Cameron at Downing Street in June ahead of the G8 summit.

Hiccup over new city chief executive
Relevant offers
The Invercargill City Council's process in hiring its chief executive has become mired in controversy after the appointment process was changed midstream and a key decision-maker resigned in protest.
In June the city council appointed a subcommittee comprising Mayor Tim Shadbolt, Deputy Mayor Darren Ludlow and four city councillors - Norman Elder, Neil Boniface, Carolyn Dean and Lindsay Abbott - to accept a consultant's recommended shortlist of candidates for the chief executive's job.
The consultant was responsible for interviewing the applicants and recommending who should be on the shortlist.
The full council passed a resolution on how the subcommittee should go about its business of shortlisting the candidates, but it is understood the subcommittee members decided to change the process when they met about a fortnight ago.
Cr Elder, who was chairman of the subcommittee, disagreed with what his fellow subcommittee members had done and subsequently resigned.
In effect, the subcommittee members decided they should be involved in interviewing the final 10 candidates and have a say on who should be on the shortlist - whereas the full council had earlier decided that a council consultant should do that job.
Cr Elder refused to speak about the matter yesterday, except to confirm he had resigned.
The Southland Times understands that at least two subcommittee members, Cr Abbott and Cr Dean, were involved in a private meeting with at least one other councillor, who is not a member of the subcommittee, to discuss how they could ensure the shortlist was made up of candidates they favoured.
Under the selection process that has now been introduced, if incumbent chief executive Richard King's name does not make the shortlist, the full council would not have the opportunity to reappoint him.
Cr Abbott, when he was asked to comment last night, declined to do so, while Cr Dean did not respond to calls.
Other subcommittee members contacted for comment yesterday, Mr Shadbolt and Mr Ludlow, both declined to comment.
Cr Boniface did not respond to calls.
The Southland Times understands about 35 people have applied for the chief executive's job, including former chief executives of other local authorities and three people already at the council, including Mr King.
The other council staffers who have applied for the post are understood to be two of Mr King's senior lieutenants.

Product description
It's 1957, and in a shattered post-war world, life goes on. Dot, a pupil midwife, negotiates the streets on her trusty old bicycle - come rain or shine - to help women in need. Living and working under the supervision of the strict Mrs O'Reilly, she must complete her training with twelve deliveries: there's Mrs Wardle who lives in a seedy slum; the eighth Clarke baby, born in an unusual place; the superstitious Wests, desperate for a boy; baby Murphy who is received with laughter; and brothel-worker Mrs Maloney. Amid lectures, textbooks and university dances, Dot must saddle up at any time of the day and night to attend deliveries. But just when she thinks she's got the measure of the job, fate deals her an unexpected hand...

January 17, 2015 - Love them
January 7, 2015 - A Christmas gift, it was happily placed on a new car. The construction was excellent and the magnet was strong enough to withstand an upstate New York winter.
July 31, 2014 - Whenever I see my "I love my rescue" magnet, it warms my heart with over-whelming emotions. I can't help but think how lucky I am to have my Tazer Bella and how lucky we both are that her foster mom took care of her until I found her.
April 24, 2014 - I have been pleased with all the 'car magnets' I have purchased from this site. Last week I saw this 'Rescue' magnet on a car! sends a message to all the greater good buyers, since we recognize the merchandise!
April 16, 2014 - Got this as a gift today, but I'm using it on my fridge instead of my car - less likely to be stolen that way xP

Close your eyes, breathe in deeply, now exhale slowly… That was easy, wasn't it? Not for everyone…
President Obama and his supporters have defended U.S. military action in Libya by invoking America's failure to respond to mass murder in Rwanda, Bosnia and even the Holocaust. Do those experiences indeed offer useful lessons for the current crisis?
In his national address on March 28, the president pointed out that "when people were being brutalized in Bosnia in the 1990s, it took the international community more than a year to intervene with air power to protect civilians."
White House Middle East adviser Dennis Ross reportedly said at a briefing for foreign policy experts on March 23 that there was a danger in Libya of a "Srebrenica on steroids" – referring to the 1995 massacre of 8,000 Bosnian Muslims by Serb militiamen.
National Security Council official Samantha Power, who reportedly played a major role in the U.S. decision to intervene in Libya, has described her unsuccessful attempt as a young journalist to alert the world about the imminent attack on Srebrenica as one of the formative events in her life.
Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen cited the Evian conference, in 1938, at which the United States and other countries refused to open their doors to Jews fleeing Nazi Germany.
"Lives were clearly at stake [in Libya] and something had to be done," Cohen wrote. "The world could not simply shove its hands in its pockets and stand by as some madman had his way with people in his grip – in spirit, a reprise of the Evian conference."
"We learned a lot in the 1990s," Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has said in her comments on the Libya action, referring to the importance of not repeating the world's slow response to the killings in Bosnia and Rwanda.
The people of Libya undoubtedly appreciate that they are the beneficiaries of the current administration's effort to learn from America's past mistakes. Of course, the people of Bahrain or Syria may be wondering what disqualifies them from U.S. military support.
Clinton's explanation on "Face the Nation" that Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, unlike Moammar Khaddafi, is "a reformer," probably will not impress many of Assad's victims. Chinese dissidents, for their part, have been questioning Clinton's judgment ever since her assertion, during her February 2009 visit to China, that human rights issues "can't interfere with the global economic crisis, the global climate change crisis, and the security crisis" that she was discussing with Beijing's leaders.
Still, there can be no denying the fact that America's action in Libya constitutes a significant change from the policies of some previous presidents.
It was not so long ago, after all, that another secretary of state, Henry Kissinger, was telling the president that "if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern."
And Franklin D. Roosevelt, who was president during the years when Jews from the (Nazi-occupied) Soviet Union were indeed put into gas chambers, likewise thought it was not an American concern.
Today, by contrast, America's president has declared that the United States has "responsibilities to our fellow human beings." That "preventing genocide" is "important to us" and one of our "core principles." And that "some nations may be able to turn a blind eye to atrocities in other countries, [but] the United States of America is different."
The people of Libya are not comparable to the Jews of Europe during the Holocaust. Neither are the people of Syria or Bahrain. There is no danger of genocide in those countries. On the other hand, based on the historical record in that part of the world, we know the possibility of a dictator massacring thousands of his own citizens is very real.
The fact that America's current leaders recognize a role for historical lessons in shaping policy decisions is certainly a welcome change from the attitudes of some of their predecessors.

Only 33 Percent of Miami Baseball Fans Actually Like the Marlins
It's no secret that the Marlins aren't very popular. Have you been to a game lately? No, you probably haven't, but if you did you'd be greeted by tons of empty seats.
We've seen maps that purport to show baseball fandom by region, but using Facebook data, The New York Times' new Upshoot site has given us a more detailed view than ever before.
The Marlins, as it turns out, are at least the most popular team in Miami, but among Miamians who have "liked" an MLB team on Facebook only 33 percent of them have liked the local franchise.
"The maps were created using estimates of team support based on how many Facebook users 'liked' each team in a ZIP code," says the Upshot. "We applied an algorithm to smooth the data and fill in gaps where data was missing."
Here's what Florida looks like:
via NYTimes
Please note that those gray areas do not represent "data unavailable." That there is Yankees country, and it's not exactly news that despite Florida having two MLB teams of its own that the Yankees are somehow the most popular team in the state. Those small blotches of red are Red Sox territory.
What's particularly interesting here is that the interactive maps estimate that only 33 percent of Miami-Dade baseball fans prefer the Marlins. Another 25 percent are Yankees fans, while 9 percent like the Red Sox.
Marlins country doesn't extend very far either. They're the favorite team of Monroe County at 27 percent. They're roughly tied in Broward County with the Yankees with 26 percent each. As you can see from the map, most of the Marlins fans in Broward come from the southern part of the county.
Palm Beachers traditionally root for the Dolphins and Heat, but they're not messing with the Fish. Just 16 percent of people in that county are Marlins fans.
In fact, the Marlins only make the top three in a few other Florida counties: Collier (7 percent), Hendry (8 percent), Martin (11 percent), St. Lucie (13 percent), Indian River (10 percent), and Okeechobee (12 percent).
Jeez, remember when this team used to be called the Florida Marlins? That was a failed marketing effort if there ever was one.
If you zoom into the map far enough, you can also view fandom by zip code. In the Marlins' home zip code, 46 percent of people are Marlins fans.

Potomac Point WineryRead MoreGrape and Grain tours bestow imbibers with a whirlwind six hours to sip and savor a kaleidoscope of diverse beverages. A chauffeur from Prime Transportation begins the day by whisking patrons to a brewery, distillery, and winery, each of which grants samples of their unique brews and vintages while instilling educational tidbits about their creation. At the Mediterranean-style Potomac Point Winery, patrons explore the wine cave and tour the cellar, dining on a bistro lunch and stopping at the olive oil bar to tend jaws creaky from chewing. At Blue and Gray Brewing Company, samples of seasonal beers emerge straight from the tanks to wash down a complimentary dessert, and the tour of family-owned A. Smith Bowman Distillery—a Fredericksburg mainstay since 1934—imparts tricks of the brewing trade that toe the line between tradition and innovation. Discounts on return visits and gift-shop merchandise urge tours to return, and patrons depart with souvenir glasses from each venue that will always remind them not to drink out of the brewer's tank.275 Decatur RdStafford, VA US

Miami Circle Park Finally Open to Public; Still Not Sure What It Is
Thirteen years after construction crews working at the mouth of the Miami River stumbled upon some odd circular markings in the dirt which turned out to be one of the most important archaeological sites in the state, the public finally is able to see what all the fuss is about. Figuring out exactly what they are looking at, and what the Miami Circle is, well, that's another issue.
The Miami Circle Park will be officially dedicated next Wednesday. In fact, the park is already open to any public who stumbles off Brickell Avenue just south of the Miami River bridge.
The circle itself is 38ft in diameter and archeologists say it is the
circular footprint of a prehistoric structure. A bunch of different
ideas have been put forth on what the circle is, everything from a
wooden version of Stonehedge to burial grounds, but archaeologists admit
they don't know for sure--partially because a layer of gravel on the
circle was removed when the site was going to be built over by
The Miami Circle when it was first excavated in the late 1990s.

Still, experts say the site provided a wealth of well-preserved evidence
of Tequesta Indian architecture and that materials found on the site
suggest the structure could have been some kind of trade outpost or a
spot for ceremonial practices. Even if they can't tell you exactly what
it is, they know it's important enough for the county to have spent
$26.7 million to purchase the 2.2 acres of prime real estate.

In January 2009, the site was designated a National Historic Landmark,
the 41st historic place in Florida to get that distinction. We're sure
Wednesday's event will bring some sharply dressed politicians to the
site and a brief presentation will be given. But don't expect the
mystery of the Circle to be revealed.
Park is already open.

The park itself is mostly passive with few if any features, besides a
picturesque walkway along the river leading to Biscayne Bay. The circle has been covered with a protective layer of limestone to prevent
further deterioration, leaving it to look like a nice landscaped feature but not
exactly a historical find. Learn more about the Miami Circle at its
The Miami Circle dedication ceremony will take place at Miami Circle Park (401 Brickell Ave., Miami) at 11:30 a.m. Wednesday. For more information call 305-375-1657.

Businesses invest in culture, not perks
Relevant offers
It's the early 1990s and the pink champagne is glinting, the shoulder pads are towering and the Jaguars are purring in the Auckland office building of the country's hottest advertising agency, Saatchi & Saatchi.
The work perks that survived the 1980s investment bubble are quickly going out of fashion, but Saatchi's managing director David Walden and creative director Roy Meares are still sporting matching Jaguars.
"Cars used to be the big thing, but then cars got a lot cheaper in New Zealand in the past 20 years so they're not so much of a prize any more," laments Walden, whose current agency TBWA\Whybin has survived the recent downturn in spending on advertising.
But that survival was dependent on "cutting the fat" from the agency's budgets and accounting for each dollar that flowed through the business.
"Long lunches? They've gone, too, mate . . . it's not fashionable now to be seen still having lunch at 4 o'clock. It's not seen as being the thing to do."
So if perking up your ego with symbolic riches from the company trough isn't fashionable, what are employers offering these days and are employees getting what they want?
The current trendsetter in workplace practice appears to be the new cradle of commercial evolution, Silicon Valley.
Staff at internet advertising giant Google's Silicon Valley headquarters get free lunches, free haircuts, a "new parent" bonus on the births of their children, and a payout of 50 per cent of an employee's salary to their family for the 10 years after they die.
Clearly business is good at Google.
Recruitment agents say the average New Zealand-based business cannot afford such extravagance, but whatever their size or budget, employers need to take Google's cultural lead.
"We're seeing two shifts out there at the moment," says recruitment agency Hudson's executive general manager Roman Rogers.
"One is that organisations are pulling back on their employees' behaviours because they're being seen to be taking too much advantage of perks available to them.
"But organisations are also thinking about how they actually create a better workplace culture.
"There is a greying line between a 'perk' and an investment in creating a culture that attracts and retains people and provides a platform for them to perform and demonstrate discretionary effort."
There's an old saying that a happy worker is a productive worker and a raft of evidence to back that up.
An International Survey Research study of 50 companies employing 664,618 people found that over one year those which scored high on "employee engagement" experienced an increase in operating income, net income growth, earnings per share growth rate and change in total assets. In other words, the company made more bucks when their workers were happy.
New Zealand and Australia scored in the bottom half of countries surveyed for employee engagement at 66 per cent, in a range of 56 per cent to 82 per cent.
A New Zealand report a few years back by John Robertson Associates cited data showing a 54 per cent return on assets from engaged workers, compared with 21 per cent from ambivalent workers and nine per cent from disengaged workers.
"It is this sense of community that we want to foster as well," says IBM New Zealand's human resources manager John Saunders.
"How do we get discretionary effort from people, why do people come to work, what releases the creative view that they may have? It all comes from that sense of community and I think that's what Google are really trying to create in their own way. So the question is how do we do that when we're not providing the hairdressing service or the three different cafeterias?"
Apart from all the usual medical and life insurance offers, car parks and flexible working arrangements, IBM's approach is more subtle, says Saunders.
Employees are encouraged to join diversity groups - based on gender or sexual persuasion for instance - to ensure they have a voice within the organisation and are able to surmount obstacles in such a large corporation.
"It's not about pay or those overt benefits, but if I'm going to be here for many hours of many days I want it be a place that can let me be me, and a place that I can contribute to and is fun to be within."
With 85 staff, Christchurch software developer and vendor PayGlobal has a little more leeway to foster its own unique culture, especially within its 35-strong application development team.
On their first day in the office every new developer is gifted a Nerf gun - a toy which shoots foam darts - as an induction into the team, says chief technology officer Jan Behrens. "We expect a lot of each other, but we also want to have fun with our work.
"Occasionally one team raids another team and you get this 10-minute blitzkreig where there's Nerf guns going off everywhere.
"When you're working towards a deadline or you've got a problem to solve, at times it's good to break free and do something fun for a couple of minutes."
Such pastimes are often derided as a hangover from the dotcom bubble, where promising young internet companies grew fast and spent working capital on skateboards, bean bags and gaming consoles for the office, before subsequently going broke.
This is different, says Behrens, not just because PayGlobal successfully serves over 400 customers across Australasia and Fiji, with more than half a million people paid through its proprietary software.
It's because the gimmicks are backed up with valuable people-focused investments which are key to attracting and retaining local and international talent.
Behrens holds innovation camps twice a year, in which his teams are challenged to spend two days developing any of their many bright ideas.
The idea is reminiscent of Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook "hackathons" which gave rise to some of the social network's most successful innovations.
Behrens says information technology professionals are particularly appreciative of any time and resources the company is prepared to devote to their professional and personal development.
But the innovation camp idea has spread to the whole PayGlobal organisation, with 85 staff taking up the challenge and enjoying the camaraderie and creativity that comes with it.
"We do it to get a hype and a buzz going and show that everyone has an ability to be innovative outside of what is otherwise directed product development," says Behrens.
"It is a really good way for software companies to keep innovation alive and I don't think there are a lot of companies that actually do it . . . they just have a suggestion box or something like that."
Behrens is in no doubt that the camps, as well as additional opportunities for upskilling and his style of empowering teams to manage their own workflow, is key in attracting and retaining staff, much more than a company car or a Christmas bonus.
But whatever the cultural conditions of a workplace, the ultimate motivating factor in any job is money.
Many people wouldn't even pull on the All Blacks jersey these days without adequate remuneration.
"People are more motivated by money, and by a simple [salary] package, than they are by other add-ons like golf memberships, trips away with family and a flash car," says Mike Davies, managing director of the New Zealand branch of international recruitment company Adecco.
He thinks perks are a thing of the 1980s and 1990s.
"These days the focus is based on a good salary and reasonable bonus structure around performance - in 85 per cent of the cases that would be the focus."

DEFINITION of 'Working Interests'
Refers to a form of investment in oil and gas drilling operations in which the investor is directly liable for a portion of the ongoing costs associated with exploration, drilling and production. In a similar fashion, working interest owners also fully participate in the profits of any successful wells. This stands in contrast to royalty interests, in which an investor's cost is usually limited to their initial investment, also resulting in a lower potential for large profits.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Working Interests'
While the idea of earning unlimited profits from owning a working interest in a well might sound wonderful, the downside can wipe out unsuspecting investors. It's generally recommended that investors without deep pockets and a solid working knowledge of oil and gas exploration stick with limited liability royalty interests.
