Reticence over likely Hirepool float value
Relevant offers
The pricing of Hirepool's initial public offer has met with a wall of silence from brokers and fund managers, but privately some expect the shares to list at the lower end of the price range.
The equipment-hire company expects to begin trading on the New Zealand and Australian sharemarkets next month, after filing its prospectus yesterday.
None of the country's major broker firms were available or willing to comment on the indicative price range of $1.10 to $1.50 a share, which would value the company at between $366 million and $425m.
Analysts and brokers, including those in the Government's partial privatisation of power companies in the past year, are usually happy to discuss such matters.
James Lee, head of institutional equities at First NZ Capital, said the offer price range was "very broad" but declined to comment on whether it represented good value for investors.
"However, you could say it's a sign of strength in the New Zealand [equity] market that Hirepool is going ahead with the IPO."
Fund managers were similarly reluctant to comment, and are understood to be cautious of rocking the boat in a year with several attractive new floats downstream.
Hirepool shares will be sold to institutions and retail investors through a broker firm offer, but there will be no public pool.
The final pricing will be determined by a bookbuild on June 24.
While some overseas investors and index-tracking funds are expected to buy in, general market sentiment is that the final price will be at the lower end of the range.
Hirepool's main weaknesses are low barriers to entry, its capital-intensive business model and other structural problems with the industry. Upsides include the potential for capitalising on the Canterbury rebuild.
The company intends to raise $175m to $262m of capital, which will be used to pay down debt, buy shares in majority-owned subsidiary Bligh Finance, and allow some long-term existing shareholders to sell down stock.
Hirepool is majority-owned by Sydney-based private equity firm Next Capital and its co-investor Macquarie Group.
Next acquired Hirepool in 2006 in a $172m deal, and in 2012 the company bought competitor Hirequip when it went into receivership owing banks $117m.
Next and its co-investors will own between 20 per cent and 35 per cent of the company's shares after the float, according to Hirepool.
Hirepool chief executive Brian Stephen said the equipment-hire market in New Zealand was highly fragmented and most of Hirepool's competitors were one-to-four-branch operations.
The merger of Hirepool and Hirequip last year made Hirepool the country's largest equipment-hire company, with 58 branches.
Stephen said the company was now positioned to capitalise on growth in the economy and the increase in major infrastructure and construction projects.
"While our underling revenue is aligned to GDP, project work provides the cream," he said.
Hirepool's operating profit this financial year was projected to be $46m, increasing to $60m next year, according to its prospectus.

Wanted man 'Popcorn' killed in shootout with police
Wanted man, Deodat 'Popcorn' Seecharran was shot dead around 11:30 pm on Sunday during an exchange of gunfire with police at Betsy Ground, East Canje.
Sources told Stabroek News that at the time of the shooting police were responding to a report that Seecharran, of Adelphi, Canje and another man were seen on bicycles in the area.
According to the source, the police "challenged them to stop," but instead they opened fire on the ranks. They then dropped their bicycles and started running through a track with the police officers in hot pursuit.
Seecharran, who was hit to his head and left shoulder, collapsed to the ground. He was picked up and taken
to the New Amsterdam Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. His accomplice managed to elude capture.
Police said in a release that they recovered a haversack that contained ten .32 rounds, a stocking mask and camouflage pants along with the two bicycles.
Seecharran, of Adelphi, Canje was wanted in connection with the recent murder of Patricia Samaroo, 57, of Number 2 Road, Canje and the attempted murder of her sister, Annetta Samaroo, 45 at Fyrish, Corentyne on March 7.
Patricia Samaroo sustained a single gunshot wound to her head while her sister Annetta was shot to her abdomen after she recognised Seecharran and shouted his name.
He was also wanted for the murder of businessman, Devindra Deodat of Hampshire, Corentyne on February 10.
Deodat was shot to his chest, chopped to neck and hands and one of his fingers was severed in the attack at his home.
His father-in-law, Rafeek Abdul, called 'King,' 57, of Lot 63 Williamsburg, Corentyne, was shot twice to his shoulder when he rushed to the residence after learning that bandits were there. Deodat's wife, Shaneeza, sustained chops to her skull.
On June 5, 2012 Seecharran had been charged with two counts of robbery under arms and was remanded to prison. He was granted bail in the sum of $300,000 on each charge August 22, 2012.
He was also one of four men who attempted to break into the home of a GuySuCo staffer, Rajendra Parsaram on December 9.
During that botched robbery, he was shot to his buttocks. His accomplices, Zafir Abdul, 22, of Adelphi Housing Scheme, Canje, was shot to his left hip and Keshwar Harrinarine, 31, of Fyrish was also shot to his buttocks. Another partner was apprehended shortly after.
They had attempted to break into Parasram's home but he was awakened by strange sounds and raised an alarm. The three men ran away, discharging a round in the direction of the house in the process.
Community Policing Group members in the area were alerted and mobilized themselves in search of the men.
The police were also informed and according to a statement, "responded quickly to the report received and while approaching the area on foot, they came under fire from the bandits who were in the compound of a Mandir in the vicinity."
The police "returned fire but the men managed to escape from the compound and headed in the direction of the backdam area," the statement had said.
The police said that back-up ranks were summoned and the police continued their pursuit of the men and caught up with them at the Betsy Ground Cemetery but the men again opened fire and the police responded, injuring all three men in the process. The suspected bandits were then rushed to the New Amsterdam Hospital and were transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital.
The police said that a number of shotgun pellets were recovered from Parasram's house and a shotgun barrel along with an empty 12-gauge shotgun casing was found at the cemetery. Subsequent searches resulted in the stock and other parts of the 12-gauge shotgun used by the perpetrators being found in the Betsy Ground Cemetery.
Seecharran was charged on December 17, 2012 with attempting to commit burglary, three counts of discharging loaded firearm with intent, possession of firearm without licence and possession of ammunition without licence.
On August 13, 2013, he was placed on bail in the sum of $100,000 on each charge but he was unable to pay. The bail was reduced to $50,000 each on September 4, 2013 and he was subsequently released.
The police said that although "notices in relation to the dates of the continuing of the matters were sent," Seecharran failed to return to court and the charges were consequently proceeded with ex parte.

*(Via ABC News) – Before he traveled in limousines and motorcades, President Obama shuttled himself to and from work at the Springfield, Ill., state house in a 2005 grey Chrysler sedan.
The owner of the car is now offering the ultimate piece of Obama memorabilia on eBay. The starting bid? A cool $1 million.
"How do you put a price on something like that?" Lisa Czibor, who is running the auction for a "friend of a friend," told ABCNews.com.
Obama leased the Chrysler 300C from 2004 until 2007, then traded it in for a hybrid vehicle.
After sitting on a Ford lot for a while, the car was sent to a Chrysler lot where its current owner purchased it.
"The guy who bought it found out it was Obama's car," Czibor said. "He put 1,600 miles on it and once Barack was elected president, he stopped driving it."

In reply to deuler • Mar 18, 2013
This is the best one by far IMO.
The people standing nearer of the camera frame the picture and the couple is looking at you, instead of turning their backs to the camera. Since they are far enough, they don't block the view of the buildings in the background, nor that of the rail.
The whole could need a little more contrast. Open the shadows if hat makes the foreground and buildings too dark. Add a little clarity too, to get more local contrat (thinking to it, it may be the only added contrast ths picture needs)
Interesting place by the way. I wish I could see it in person.

Toshiba Introduces Cloud-Based Backup Capabilities
Toshiba's Digital Products Division (DPD) has introduced its Canvio 3.0 portable hard disk drive (HDD) line featuring cloud-based backup capabilities and storage capacities of 500 gigabytes (GB), 750GB or one terabyte (TB).
Equipped with pre-loaded backup software, the new Canvio 3.0 line comes with simple plug-and-play operation and is compatible with personal computers and other devices equipped with USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 ports.
Toshiba has designed this line to address the requirements of those who use the cloud for digital storage.
Because the Canvio 3.0 drives are pre-loaded with Windows-based NTI BackupNow EZ software, users benefit from step-by-step and fully-customizable backup capabilities to the cloud and to the drive.
Once the users create a cloud account with NTI BackupNow EZ, they can accomplish several tasks such as backup specific folders, certain file types, and conduct a complete system backup to the Canvio 3.0.
Toshiba claims that this backup software also has the ability to scan the user's system and files and can recommend which files to backup to cloud-based or on-device storage.
"Digital consumers need to quickly backup high resolution photographs, important documents, high definition videos and large music files in a seamless storage system. HDDs with cloud-based backup capabilities offer consumers a digital safety net against system failure," said Maciek Brzeski, vice president of HDD retail products, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc., Digital Products Division. "With cloud-based backup, Canvio 3.0 offers consumers a simple and easy backup solution for all types of digital files that need reliable storage."
Elaborating further on its products Toshiba says that the Canvio Basics 3.0 features a new compact design and is also available in 500GB, 750GB and 1TB capacities. The Canvio 3.0 offers complete password protection with up to 256-bit data encryption to protect users from unauthorized access to data. If storage space is running low an on-screen Drive Space Alert monitor will send an alert to the user.

What do 21st Century Skills really mean anyway?
It takes time to initiate a movement that becomes revolutionary, and to be revolutionary there must be an accepted understanding right across the spectrum of what needs to be revolutionized. Educators are reluctant to move quickly in any direction, regardless of the justification or the crisis. Radically changing their approach, or adopting some new form of teaching and learning because that's the 'new idea' or the 'talk of the day' is simply not enough. And what is meant by 21st Century Skills anyway? Ontario just released a document on 21st Century Competencies, and only to begin the discussion, not to define it. Hardly a way to begin a revolution, at least in Ontario.
And yet you can understand why there needs to be discussion. We are only in the beginning of the 21st Century. Technology and science will continue to have an impact on our world; we cannot define an approach that has experienced only some of what will no doubt be many changes in teaching and learning because of a changing world. If technology continues to move at the rate it is now moving, then how will that change the way we teach? Or the way students learn? If midway through the 21st Century we have highly evolved artificial intelligence, then how will that change the way students access and interact with the world around them? Systems that can self-learn and self-correct? Will students interface with adaptive learning systems that can teach more effectively and efficiently? This is not far-fetched.
Educational Systems are not Ripe for Disruption – yet.
No doubt you've read the books, and articles, and heard the key notes about the need for disruption in education. No argument from me. The problem however is that the present hierarchies are not in the position to be disrupted. There are too many factors that are preventing the 'status quo' from being revolutionized. Some of these factors are related to the way our educational systems are currently designed, and other factors include the way our teachers are currently trained. Two year programs of education will certainly help, but these programs of education should be immersed in 21st century thinking as well. Moreover, when apprentice teachers are placed with a teacher-trainer the experience should be powerful. How often have I seen apprentice teachers walk away disheartened after their classroom experiences. Do they see 21st century teaching modeled? Do they gain the real-world teaching experiences that will help them diffuse educational theory into relevant, and powerful practice that is infused with creativity, innovation, critical thinking, collaboration and communication?
And further, there's no sense of urgency. If you're reading this article you probably have a sense of urgency; you're an early adopter of ideas and you're interested in being innovative and you are not afraid to take risks in your teaching and learning. But you're in the minority, I'm afraid. The majority of teachers will be content to change a little here and a little there, but don't ask them to completely disrupt their programs. If I had the time and space, I could delve more deeply into the paradigms of thinking that have created these safe environments. But alas, I may have to retire before I write that piece!
Evolution is Safe and Revolution is Messy!
The typical mindset in education begets safety. Who wants 'messy?' It's better to meander through a 'new thing' than to allow the philosophy behind this 'new thing' to go unchecked, or to create environments where teachers have to risk giving up a way of doing things that will cause great consternation. Human nature is such that radical change is equated with anxiety and uncertainty. It doesn't matter if the world is changing radically, or that students are disengaged and looking for 'real world' learning in interesting and innovative learning contexts. No, it's better to be safe. It's better to keep re-tasking the 'same old, same old' in siloed classrooms where students are conditioned to live with knowledge-level experiences where there is little challenge and reason to move beyond the periphery into the great unknown adventure of true learning.
The Tools and The PD Are Just Not There…yet.
I should add that the money is not there either. If you've read the various infographics that have been posted in MindShare's reports, you'll be aware that there's a rather inequitable distribution of technology across the education spectrum. There are the 'have' and 'have not' schools. And even in the 'have' schools there's never really enough to give each student access to the various tools of technology at will.
But even if teachers and students did have access to the tools, there's the whole issue of how to use the tools to engage students in higher order thinking activities, or in innovative ways. Quite frankly, very few teachers have the skills sets to use technology in ways that would make Seymour Papert proud. There are no 'mindstorms' happening the way they should because teachers are too often learning how to use the technology in basic ways and then that becomes a chore.
And PD or PLCs are led by people who have not truly had exposure to, or have adopted the 21st Century paradigms. You can't teach it or lead it if you've never truly embraced it. Yes, you can talk about collaboration, creativity, critical thinking, and communication philosophically but the philosophy is never meted out in reality. No revolution will come without a deep understanding and an ongoing understanding that we live in a new world, ripe with opportunities to embrace deep learning, to explore, break new ground, and try new ideas and redevelop old ones. But you need a revolutionary spirit. Revolution, I'm afraid, is just not a teacher's way…yet!]]>
I'd like to think that teaching practices don't change with technological equipment (the equipment merely helps the teacher make learning differentiated and relevant), but if precious teaching time is not spent having students waiting for machines to load, then that in itself is a major advantage!
Although we never went under water, the Go-Pro camera and the extra tablet that my classroom received allowed for more cameras (with more features), which meant more hands-on work per student during group editing projects.
The pre-school Bee programming will make next year's transition into even more deeper coding easier, and it is always fun to come up with creative ways to get six year olds to understand what coding is.
There are so many sensors that we make use of everyday, and the children now better understand the computer science behind them, namely "Boolean" or "if" conditions in programming. IF the sensor under the faucet detects motion, water comes out, but the water stops when movement is no longer detected. IF movement is detected in the dark hallway, the lights automatically turn on, but only for a programmed amount of time, and then the lights shut off again. It's unbelievable to watch young children learn to understand the world around them by creating code.
Even without sensors (yet), Roslyn School's youngest too make use of "Boolean" or "if" conditions in their programming: IF the answer is correct to the math question they ask, their character will say, "Bravo!," thanks to them having programmed that condition.
The prizes were dispersed around the school, on an as-needs basis. They helped update each of our classrooms, so that Roslyn School's classrooms each now proudly house Smart Boards and projectors, as well as many other technological goodies!
We are feeling very grateful for the equipment!
With much appreciation,
Miss Julie Marcus
Roslyn School Technology teacher

NEW ZEALAND: Frucor Beverages recalls water over algae fears
By Andy Morton | 15 August 2012
Frucor is recalling an entire run of its still water multipack
Suntory subsidiary Frucor Beverages has recalled an entire production run of its still water multipack after a consumer found algae in a bottle.
All NZ Natural multipacks with a best before date between 24 October and 30 October next year should not be drank, the New Zealand soft drinks company announced today (15 August). Frucor said the move is precautionary and the problem is limited to a small number of bottles.
The recall, it said, was prompted by a customer complaint and does not affect any other Frucor products.
Mark Callaghan, CEO of Frucor, which was bought by Suntory from Danone in 2008, said the potential hazard to consumers was low.
"We have identified that this was an issue with one run of bottles and not the water," he said.
"The water is clear, pure New Zealand spring water and we have resolved that random bottles within this run were likely to not have been cleaned properly by the machine at the time, allowing the possibility of small amounts of green algae to grow if exposed to sunlight."
It is not clear at this stage how much the recall will cost Frucor.
In July, British soft drinks firm Britvic said a recall of its Fruit Shoot brand could hit profits by as much as GBP25m (US38.9m). The recall was sparked by a problem with a new cap design.

Trundle doesn't think he's an adventurer. He's a lamplighter. He likes everything safe and cozy, and that's the way things are in his peaceful part of the Sundered Lands.
Until Esmeralda barrels through his door.
Esmeralda, a princess with a knack for magic and for finding trouble, is convinced that Trundle is the only one who can help her find the six crowns. Lost and scattered long ago, the crowns could unite the Sundered Lands once again. But not if the pirates find them first.
Suddenly, Trundle is on the run. He becomes a stowaway, a drifter, a thief's accomplice, and a swordsman.Trundle may find that he is a true hero, after all . . . and that this is only the beginning of an epic journey.
Editorial Reviews
In a bizarre but good-natured genre mashup, two hedgehogs run around outer space fighting pirates and seeking talismans. Trundle is a lamplighter (and homebody) on a seemingly pre-industrial asteroid known for cabbage farms. Feisty stranger Esmeralda accosts the baffled Trundle and insists they go on a quest. Before he can refuse, pirates attack and the two hedgehogs flee. Running from the pirates, who are grizzled "pigs and rats and weasels and foxes," Trundle and Esmeralda fall off the planet's edge onto a windship—interplanetary transportation in this archipelago of asteroids requires wind vessels—and end up on a planet where enslaved animals labor in mines. They get into and out of various scrapes with derring-do and vigor; Trundle finds his enthusiasm along the way. They seek six legendary crowns that belonged to wise badgers in the past. The ramshackle science is vintage steampunk (outer space has air to breathe and breeze to power windships built like watercrafts; planetary gravity comes and goes). Jones has a nice knack for stringing words together at a bustling pace: "A sharp spitting spluttering crackling sound came to his ears." Facile stereotypes about "Roamany" (Esmeralda's exotic, wild, not-quite-moral culture) are a shame, but they are also in keeping with the steampunk feel. Readers who revel in collections and patterns will enjoy finding the crystal crown here and will look forward to the next five books that promise the next five crowns.(Fantasy. 7-10)

Trundle is a lightkeeper whose highlight in life is going home to his cabbage soup and tea. One evening, when he goes home for the night, he meets Esmeralda, a Romany hedgehog who is on the run from a nasty group of pirates. She claims that Trundle is the lightkeeper in a prophecy that involves the two of them finding the six badger crowns that will save the world. The pirates who are after her, however, are bent on her not reaching her goal. Can Trundle and Esmeralda find the six crowns and save the world? A fun adventure for early chapter-book readers. The characters are well-developed and memorable, and the plot is fairly well-done for a beginning fantasy story. Those who like fantasy, action-adventure, animals, or pirates will enjoy reading TRUNDLE'S QUEST.

Restaurant Reviews
Once you've built your restaurant on stilts out over the water, how do you then go about cleaning the windows on the sheer face you can't access from a veranda?
I must say I'd never thought about this problem before at Soi restaurant, or when it was Eden, or The Pier before that.
But it did rather confront my guest and me I on Thursday night last, when we were shown to our romantic table for two beside the window.
It being 7.30pm, Evans Bay was bathed in the golden glow of the setting sun.
Only in this instance the gold was tinted old gold by the streaky brown film of dried salt and dust covering the plate glass windows.
Random spatterings of dried seagull cack arched from floor to ceiling, in the manner of Jackson Pollock.
As I sat down, I recoiled in horror and confusion.
I mean, isn't this restaurant supposed to be selling itself on its harbour views? (That's always what has kept me coming here, at least.)
About five years ago, when Soi took over from Eden, the interior underwent a major refurb.
By taking out the ships' railings and carpeting over the fancy yacht decking, the dated eighties nautical look has been erased.
But still they haven't removed the cheesiest of all the fittings - the disco ceiling. This giant horseshoe of slatted mirrors ought to be placed on a register with the Historic Places Trust.
While they're at it, they might also register the menu.
Ah, Caesar Salad! I haven't seen that for a good few years. Mmmm, seafood chowder, chicken satay, beer-battered fish and chips! I believe I may have spotted these dishes elsewhere as well.
Yet despite wanting to hate this food for being so hackneyed, right from the outset I was forced to admit that competent cooking was coming to its rescue.
We ordered the Soi tasting plate to share, on account of it offering four out of the six entrees.
The battered squid was deliciously tender, the pot sticker dumplings up to Chinese restaurant standard, the satay perfectly respectable and the arancini actually very, very good.
''Crispy'' skinned pork belly, for once, really was crisp all over, not just in parts, its fat well rendered, its flesh moist and tasty.
As I tasted the honest beef jus beneath my steak and the lemony, herby Cafe de Paris butter on top, not to mention the lovely crisp, hand-cut fries, my mood lifted - aided greatly, I must say, by the descent of darkness, which masked the filthy windows and set the harbour lights shimmering across the water.
It was also helped by the fact that my 250-gram prime aged Angus beef was perfectly cooked: very rare without being blue, just as I had discussed very carefully with Tania Siladi, the friendly co-owner who had come to take our main course order.
''Excuse me for asking,'' she'd begun, ''but are you David Burton?''
Yes, I was.
''It should really be home time for me now,'' she went on to explain, ''but my waiting staff are so terrified of you that I'm having to stay on and serve you myself.''
Hell, I'd have ordered them to get a grip, keep calm and carry on. There's no reason to begin quivering just because the odd Obersturmbannfuhrer happens to pop out of nowhere, discreetly taking notes.
Apparently Ms Tiladi Siladi did subsequently issue such an order, for eventually our truant waitron reappeared to inquire about dessert.
Having failed to clear the mess of spilled rocket leaves, vinaigrette and spent endamame pods on the table in front of me, she gingerly laid the dessert menu down alongside the pile, on the one clean spot at the very edge of the table.
Were the desserts, we wondered, to be served still further to the left, beside the table, in mid-air?
Talking with Ms Siladi Taniaas, I paid the bill; I cleared the mystery of the chef. It is he, the esteemed Jonathan England, late of The Eating House and Miramar's legendary Two Rooms.
Trio of Mini Pavlovas
Here's a very pleasing elaboration of our national dish. I forgot to inquire about the flavours du jour, as the menu advised, but these bonsai pavs were self-evidently coconut, chocolate and vanilla - all baked the deliciously chewy way I like best.

The Tau V-8 engine in the RM500 isn't rated at a specific output, but it generates up to 429 horsepower in other Hyundai applications, making this an enticing addition to the Genesis Coupe range--even if it's only for show. As Millen himself put it, "The sleek and practical exterior modifications would allow this Genesis Coupe to look good parked in your driveway or turning laps at the track."
In addition to the Tau V-8, the RM500 gets a laundry list of upgrades:

United States Patent #7106799
A digital transcoder system is presented for receiving data bit streams with a first bit rate (R1) and outputting a data bit stream with a second bit rate (R2) which differs from the first bit rate (R1), and in particular is reduced relative thereto. This transcoder system has a decoder device (10) on its input side and a coder device (20) on its output side, the latter consisting of a series circuit of a quantizer (21) for requantizing the data dequantized in the decoder device (10), with a requantization factor (Q2), also with a subsequent VLC coder (22) and an output buffer (23). Establishing the second bit rate (R2) requires that the requantization factor of the quantizer (21) be changed, with reference to macro-blocks, according to the specification of a certain calculational formula.

You Won't Forget (about Me) Lyrics
Artist: Wanda Jackson
Album: Lovin' Country Style
Now that our love is through you know I still love you
But now I think I see you just weren't meant for me
You found another love the kind that's wild and free
But I'll promise you one thing you won't forget about me
My heart was young and foolish so much I had to learn
A heart can't just be in love it's gotta be loved in return
They'll only laugh and say I guess you'll learn someday
But your heart's still wild and free you won't forget about me
[ steel - fiddle - guitar ]
My heart was young and foolish...

BRAZIL/CANADA: AmBev sells Bavaria to Canada's Molson Inc.
AmBev - Companhia de Bebidas das Americas (NYSE: ABV) announces that on Nov. 6, it concluded negotiations to sell the Bavaria S/A company to Canada's Molson Inc. The divestiture of the Bavaria brand and five plants was a condition made by the "Conselho Administrativo de Defesa Economica" - Cade (Administrative Council for Economic Defense) on March 30 to secure the approval for the merger between the Antarctica and Brahma breweries. In addition to this, AmBev will have to share its Antarctica retail distribution network with Molson.Molson purchased Bavaria for US$213 million, of which US$98 million was paid upon the business conclusion and the remaining amount is conditioned upon the company's performance. The business includes the selling of two former Antarctica plants in Ribeirao Preto, Sao Paulo and Getulio Vargas, Rio Grande do Sul and three Brahma plants in Cuiaba, Mato Grosso; Manaus, Amazonas; and Camacari, Bahia. All of these units received during the last few months, investments of R$17 million, and are currently fully operational and already making the Bavaria beer. The Ribeirao Preto unit, which already had a bottle production line, started up a can production line, to comply with the Cade's ruling.In order to make both the brand and the selling of assets feasible, AmBev has incorporated the Bavaria S/A company, which is being handed to the purchaser without financial liabilities. Bavaria S/A has an installed capacity to make 7 million hectoliters. Molson is Canada's largest brewery, holding a 45% share of the market.
