Opinion & Analysis
Foreign direct investment (FDI) is a contentious subject and there is no limit to the number of debates questioning the efficacy of inwards FDI to the economy. However, the link between investment, FDI and economic growth is well-established.
OPINION: Openness to the rest of the world through trade and capital is key to economic growth, the prosperity of a nation and the improvement of living standards.
It allows the host country greater access to international markets, resources and technologies and can vastly improve the competitiveness of domestic firms.
Granted, our lack of market size, market growth, and remoteness are hurdles that our domestic economy must deal with.
But this should be seen as all the more reason to provide an attractive and stable investment climate in order to improve our abilities to compete and raise living standards.
So, to make it harder for foreign investors to invest productively in New Zealand is a damaging policy prescription - yet, this is precisely what New Zealand is doing.
Prominent New Zealand economist and businessman, Sir Roderick Deane, noted in 1970s that for years "there appeared to be a marked reluctance by successive governments to adopt a positive policy towards foreign investment' in New Zealand".
That changed in the mid-1980s to mid-1990s, when the Lange/Douglas reforms saw New Zealand open its capital markets considerably, reduce trade protectionism, remove exchange controls and significantly increase the scope for private investment. In the process, we integrated rapidly with the rest of the world.
The problem is, we have failed to maintain this momentum.
The latest report by The New Zealand Initiative, Capital Doldrums: How globalisation is bypassing New Zealand, shows that although our international connectedness through FDI flourished between the mid-1980s and 1990s, inwards FDI stocks relative to GDP have since stagnated.
Alarmingly, UNCTAD figures show that while global FDI flows have risen by 11 per cent from 2012 to US$1.46 trillion ($1.74 trillion), the highest level since the global financial crisis, New Zealand's inflows have dropped by 75 per cent to just US$500 million ($597 million). This confirms that our domestic economy is simply no longer keeping up with the global pace in the international investment race.
In contrast, Singapore, a tiny island-country with very few natural resources and a population of just over five million, attracted inflows of US$56 billion ($67 billion) in 2013. Inwards investment in China totalled some US$127b, and India, an economy that continues to exceed Western growth rates, experienced a 17 per cent growth in inwards investment to US$28b.
Perhaps it is some consolation that New Zealand was not alone in this decline. UNCTAD data show that in 2013 Australia's FDI inflow also declined, but to a lesser degree, by 28 per cent to US$40b.
New Zealand's FDI competitiveness has declined markedly since the mid-1990s, particularly in comparison to Hong Kong and Singapore, who rank among the top-performing economies in their ability to attract inwards investment.
In 2012, 80 out of 198 countries had a higher stock of inwards FDI as a percentage of GDP than New Zealand. And although global FDI stocks grew by more than 20 per cent of GDP between 1995 and 2012, New Zealand's inwards FDI stock fell by 1.2 per cent of GDP and outwards stock rose by a paltry 6.4 per cent over the same period.
So, while global stocks in FDI continue to climb at a rapid pace and to extraordinary levels, New Zealand's inwards stocks, as a percentage of GDP, peaked over a decade ago.
Concurrent to this trend, our rank on various measures of an economy's attractiveness towards FDI have slipped dramatically over the past few years. New Zealand was ranked 146th in 2011 out of a total 186 countries on UNCTAD's FDI Attraction Index, which measures a country's ability to attract FDI. Bangladesh, Greece, Senegal and Swaziland all rank just ahead of us.
New Zealand's score on the OECD's FDI Regulatory Restrictiveness Index, which measures the extent to which a country's regulations discriminate against FDI, remains far above both the non-OECD and OECD averages, being placed as the seventh most restrictive OECD member.
New Zealand must make a concerted effort to create an environment that is more attractive for overseas investors.
FDI is a valuable element in international economic integration, and openness to inwards FDI fosters direct and stable links with other economies.
The benefits it can bring are too valuable an opportunity to ignore, especially if we want to promote a more competitive economy, improve living standards and achieve greater levels of economic growth.

A Simple Test Can Determine If You're Not Getting Enough Sleep
Published 1:44 pm, Thursday, April 24, 2014
Psychologist Richard Wiseman, the author of "59 Seconds: Change Your Life in Under a Minute," has a simple test to determine if you're not getting enough sleep.
Wiseman describes the test in the YouTube video above, which is part of his "In 59 seconds" series.
If you're suffering from a lack of sleep, then you might experience very short blackouts called "micro-sleeps," according to Wiseman. These are episodes where you involuntarily doze off for a few seconds and are not aware of what's happening around you. (This would be a considerable nuisance at work, but could be potentially dangerous if you're, say, driving.)

To see if you're under-slept, Wiseman asks viewers to watch an animated clip where a scene changes after a few seconds and then flips back to the original scene. If you don't spot certain things — like a bus switching from blue to green or disappearing buildings — then you might be sleep deprived, he says.
We're not sure how valid this test is for sleep-deprivation since a well-known Harvard psychology test, known as the "gorilla experiment," found that our minds tend to miss a lot of obvious things going on around us (even a giant gorilla strolling into the middle of a basketball game), without even knowing it.
At any rate, Wiseman provides some other useful ways to determine if you need more sleep. If you need an alarm clock to wake up, fall asleep within 5 minutes of getting into bed, or drink a lot of coffee during the day, then you should consider getting more shut-eye.

By Great Northwest Wine on July 11, 2013
This label for Long Shadows Vintners in Walla Walla is a collaboration between former Ste. Michelle Wine Estates boss Allen Shoup and famed German winemaker Armin Diel. They came together a decade ago to craft a Washington wine with an international perspective. This is the latest version, and it is superb. It opens with aromas of lemon, lime and slate, followed by flavors of Granny Smith apple and minerality. It's a rich, round wine without being sweet.

Gig reviews
The saying goes that "the old ones are the best" and never was there a truer meaning to it than last night at Auckland's Vector Area.
Ozzy Osbourne's private life may be providing the tabloid press with plenty fodder at the moment, but that was of little concern to the sea of black-clad masses that came to pay homage at the feet of Black Sabbath for the band's first New Zealand gig in 40 years.
With the crowd nicely warmed up thanks to a beautifully chunky set from Kiwi veterans Shihad, the stage was set for Sabbath to come forth and unleash the back catalogue that made them one of the true pioneers of the heavy metal genre.
You have to love Ozzy. There aren't many old rockers that could have bought into the risible world of MTV reality television and come out the other side retaining the respect of both peers and fans alike.
Once the curtain dropped and the band launched into War Pigs you could see the man was in his element.
True, he's aged - much more so than bassist Geezer Butler and guitarist Tony Iommi. In fact when he ran across the stage it reminded you of your grandmother running to catch a bus, but he was willing to perform and, thankfully, able.
However, on a night when Sabbath proved just why they belong in the unique pantheon of true rock greats it was Iommi who stole the show.
Long regarded by many as one of the best - if not the greatest - riff masters of all time, the guitarist showcased his talents with ease and composure.
Dressed to impress like some kind of seductive dark lord, his masterclass made you realise that catching Sabbath at this stage in their long career was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
The gig was by no means flawless, at times things seemed to go a little pear shaped - Symptom of the Universe, for example, seemed to end very abruptly.
It was followed by an impressive drum solo by the ridiculously talented tour drummer Tommy Clufetos, however, most people seemed to be wondering where Ozzy and co. had hastily disappeared to for its lengthy duration.
They were also probably wondering if the frontman was going to ask them if they were having a good night for the millionth time. A small gripe, but kind of grating nevertheless.
Thankfully they returned and launched into Iron Man, which quickly eased the worries of those in attendance.
Highlights of the gig included Fairies Wear Boots, Snowblind, Black Sabbath, N.I.B and Children of the Grave while new numbers such as End of the Beginning and God is Dead showed the band has no intention of veering from the path that's brought them so much success for nearly half a century.
The clichéd goodbye at the end of the night was soon followed by the obligatory encore - Paranoid - which predictably brought the house down.
There was even a tease of the wonderful Sabbath Bloody Sabbath but sadly the band cut it short.
There have been many pretenders to the heavy metal throne since this lot came on the scene so many moons ago but on last night's evidence it's easy to see why many rival but very few surpass.

LONDON and OSLO, Norway, March 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
ebpSource, the world's leading provider of electronic billing and payment solutions, is pleased to announce an agreement with mobile authentication specialists, Encap Security, to market its Smarter Authentication™ solutions globally. The agreement means ebpSource will offer Encap's products to new and existing clients in the banking, telecoms, payment processor and service bureau sectors. Smarter Authentication™ is a new approach to online and mobile banking and payment authentication that uses software-based, banking-grade technology to deliver an exceptional customer experience without compromising security.
Steve Wright, EVP of Commercial Operations at ebpSource says: "Payment processors, financial services, telecoms and retailers face a growing challenge. Customers expect secure access to online banking, mobile banking, e-payments, mobile payments, card-not-present transactions and cloud-based applications anywhere, anytime and from any channel. The sheer ubiquity of mobile devices, their vulnerability to compromise and increasing transaction volumes have all made mobile security a major issue. Providers that don't meet these needs face losing customers and suffering costly security breaches."
Encap Security's Smarter Authentication™ is a superior solution to existing hardware and software-based authentication offerings that are both costly and cumbersome for service providers. Smarter Authentication™ allows organisations to deliver innovative services that have been proven to not only reduce risk but also boost online and mobile adoption and transaction rates.
Users are able to download the secure Encap-enabled app from an app store such as the Apple Store or Google Play. Once a user's device is paired, the user will be asked to identify themselves using a PIN. The device becomes "something you have" and the PIN is "something you know" allowing multi-factor authentication to be delivered with a one-factor user experience. For non-smart mobile devices there is also an SMS alternative. Through the partnership with ebpSource, the Encap-enabled app will be integrated server-side to enterprise systems, online services, identity management, transaction databases and payment processes.
Smarter Authentication™ removes the need for key fobs, tokens and other authentication devices, OTPs (one time passwords), proprietary SIM-cards, OTP via SMS messages and online card authorisation requests. Such cumbersome processes are typically expensive to implement and complex to administer, create a barrier to use, and are unpopular with users and service providers alike.
Thomas Bostrøm Jørgensen, CEO of Encap Security sees Smarter Authentication™ as an untapped source of competitive differentiation in a crowded marketplace. "It is a highly secure and cost-effective way for service providers to improve adoption and open up new service channels. It minimises financial and reputational risk, optimises transaction volumes and reduces security costs. With ebpSource's global integration expertise and Encap's technology, we are bringing to market the next generation of authentication."
About Encap Security (http://www.encapsecurity.com)
Encap Security's world-class management team has an unrivalled pedigree in providing remote access security solutions for mobile banking, cross-sector enterprises and technology integrators. Its patented Smarter Authentication™ solution is the only dedicated software-based banking-grade authentication platform and offers simple multi-factor authentication and digital signing solutions that remove the need for cumbersome and costly alternatives. The company is based in Oslo, Norway, and Palo Alto, USA.

HB ON THE SCENE: La Quinta Intros New Del Sol Prototype
Tuesday June 3rd, 2014 - 7:57AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
NEW YORK—La Quinta Holdings Inc., owner, operator and franchisor of La Quinta Inn & Suites and La Quinta Inn, launched a new prototype design called Del Sol, which combines iconic brand elements with streamlined architecture, according to the company. This announcement was made during the 36th Annual New York University Hospitality Investment Conference being held at the Marriott Marquis, here.
According to the company, the prototype is designed to maximize revenue-per-sq.-ft. while maintaining a competitive cost per key.
The design includes a highly visible placement of the La Quinta name on the building, along with the outreaching rays of the La Quinta sun logo. Inside, a great room serves as a multifunctional area for social gatherings or as a place of connectivity with the integration of advanced technology.
Among the features incorporated into the new Del Sol design are a guestroom mix to include at least 20% suites, separated breakfast serving area that enables use of the great room as a lounge and a conference/meeting facility designed to accommodate 40-plus attendees.
"This new Del Sol prototype is part of La Quinta's overall business strategy to innovate for the benefit of our guests and hotel owners," said Rajiv Trivedi, La Quinta's chief development officer. "It is a dramatic composition of shapes, color and texture that creates a façade that is bold and inviting. The adaptable and scalable footprint optimizes the site and fully maximizes ROI potential offering a competitive advantage for hotel owners. To date, we already have 14 franchise partners planning to build this new innovative hotel design."

With all of the question marks that always exist when it comes to navigating current conditions and forecasting future ones—i.e. the all-too-common inning analogy—and calls to action to advocate for the hospitality industry, one thing seemed overwhelming clear: the reminder that with all of the concerns and considerations, the hotel business is experiencing opportunity that is at an all-time high.

Health Scandal at Oslo University Hospital Unfolds
Keep Updated with the Latest News and Feeds, Follow Us on Facebook
Latest News
Accordingly, It is not the severity of the patient's condition that determines how quickly patients receive treatment, but how much money the hospital saves on it.
Patients on the waiting list are categorized as either a "right patient" or not. Patients' rights are to be given priority by Norwegian laws and are entitled to health care within a certain time limit. After this deadline is expired, patients can go to HELFO and claim to have treatment either abroad or elsewhere in the country, but in these cases, the hospitals which do not offer treatment on time are responsible for the bill of this treatment. This right, however, is not automatically granted to the patients. Patients must claim their rights on their own.
This is Where the Scandal Arises
Patients who demand their rights cost money for the hospital. Therefore, the management of the hospital has instructed doctors at several departments that these patients should be given priority over other patients who actually have the same rights, and may even have waited longer.
In this way, the management has asked doctors about putting medical considerations aside for economic considerations.
TV 2 has reported that the University Hospital has done this for several years. More doctors have voiced up and called this practice medically unethical.

Another abusive Twitter exchange has NDP MP Pat Martin swearing off tweeting
NDP MP Pat Martin rises to question the government during question period in the House of Commons on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Monday, Feb. 27, 2012. (Adrian Wyld / THE CANADIAN PRESS)
The Canadian Press
Published Thursday, December 20, 2012 1:23PM EST
Last Updated Thursday, December 20, 2012 4:24PM EST
OTTAWA -- Firebrand New Democrat MP Pat Martin is apologizing for another abusive Twitter outburst -- and swearing off the microblogging service for good.
Martin's Twitter account was abruptly shut down Thursday after an abusive series of tweets prompted, apparently, by the Conservative government's failure to invite him to an announcement in his Winnipeg Centre riding.
"I apologize for my regrettable and inappropriate language," Martin tweeted as word of the angry tirade continued to circulate online.
"It seems some people shouldn't tweet so with this, I sign off."
Indeed, NDP spokesman Karl Belanger quickly confirmed Martin's decision.
"These comments were simply inappropriate and unacceptable," Belanger said in a statement. "Mr. Martin agrees and we understand that he has decided to stop using his Twitter account."
Following his last tweet, clicking on Martin's Twitter name -- @PatMartinMP -- yielded only an "internal server error."
Wednesday night's tweets were laced with abusive language and included some particularly scathing and personal insults aimed at Public Safety Minister Vic Toews and the Conservative party.
Among other things, Martin described the Conservatives as "truly bad people" who won last year's federal election using "American-style dirty tricks."
It wasn't the first time Martin had raised eyebrows on Parliament Hill and across Canada with Twitter-based vitriol.
In November 2011, he went on a similar, profanity-laced tirade when the government used procedural tools to shut down debate on a budget bill.

Fisheries science and policy continue to evolve and appear to be moving in a direction that could benefit fishermen, but NOAA's efforts on the third leg of fisheries administration — enforcement — continue to be a cause for concern.
Enforcement changes were implemented after Inspector General Todd Zinser's report on whether different regions were being punished differently under NOAA, and on whether administration of the Asset Forfeiture Fund was appropriate, but the pace of the agency's attempt to make good on inappropriate enforcement is holding back greater progress.
The work of Special Master Charles B. Swartwood III to root out cases of improper enforcement came out of the inspector general's report. Payments were made after Swartwood's first report, and an appeals window was opened in March 2011 for those who needed it.
Swartwood wrote to the secretary last February — at the time, John Bryson — to tell him that there were 66 cases submitted by the special master to NOAA for responses. He wrote that his final report would be ready in less than two months, with all but five of the cases having already been returned to Swartwood.

Derivatives rules could force schemes to abandon hedging strategies – NAPF
International rules designed to bring transparency to the opaque derivatives market could backfire by imposing heavy costs on pension funds and force them to abandon hedging strategies, the industry's trade body warns.
The National Association of Pension Funds urged authorities to exempt pension funds from initial margin requirements - where derivatives users are forced to post collateral in the form of cash and bonds...

For 4TH year--NO GOD in Obama's Thanksgiving Address--FIRST PRESIDENT TO OMIT GOD--Here's what other presidents have said on Thanksging

And yea, Allah is no different than Yahweh, or the God of christianity. If you study your history, all 3 of those religions are Abrahamic religions, and the Jews, The Muslims, and the Christians. They all worship the same God, they just split off and use different texts.
I'd much rather Obama be worshipping Allah, then worshipping Lucifer like GWB and many other presidents. Although honestly, Obama probably worships Lucifer like they all do.
Anonymous Coward 801546
your very very wrong.
Allah is Mohammad's god. This is Islam, there text used is the Koran, not the bible.
The Trinity is The Father (the creator), the Son (Jesus) and the Holy Spirit. This is Christian. The text used is the bible, OT and NT.
The Jews reject Jesus, and only refer to part of the OT.
Allah/Mohammad do not refer to Christ as anything but a prophet, or a nice man. This is not the same god that Christians or Jews worship.
Allah does not = the great "I AM" of the bible. The koran is a rip off by a nutjob who hated Jews and Christians and made up his one religion and holy book stealing references and language from the bible.
You either serve Jesus who says he is God in the flesh, of one mind but seperate bodies with the father and the spirit, or you worship a false god. So says Jesus. You can NOT get to the father (have his ear, have his forgiveness or promises of the afterlife)if you do not believe that Jesus was who he said he was.
Not the same god, get over it.

One Oregon: A Vision for Oregon's Transportation SystemFriday, May 27th, 2016
In order to create the system that will best serve our future needs, one that allows for the efficient movement of people and products in an environmentally responsible way, we must be cognizant of current challenges in today's transportation system and we must be willing to act.
A National Strategy for Energy Security: The Innovation RevolutionTuesday, May 24th, 2016
Too often, America's exposure to the risks of oil dependence has been measured by consumers and
policymakers as a function of the price of oil at a specific point in time or our level of reliance on foreign
suppliers. The result has been long periods of inaction and inattention after each crisis, which simply
leaves the country dangerously exposed for the inevitable next crisis. The risk of such complacence
today is high. Low oil prices have reduced the sense of urgency shared throughout the country as
recently as 2014. Yet just as it has been so many times before, the oil market is in the midst of a cycle.
We must be better prepared when the tide once again turns.
New Principles for Our Transportation ProgramThursday, May 12th, 2016

International Lessons for Promoting Transit Connections to High-Speed Rail SystemsWednesday, May 11th, 2016
The California High-Speed Rail (HSR) project has matured to the point that initial design of segments in the Central Valley was started in 2014, beginning the long process of completing the California HSR program. One significant concern that many communities involved in, or affected by, the California HSR project have is how to connect the new HSR passenger services to local urban transport, such as bus and light rail. The route and stations for the first segment of the HSR system are well known, but many questions remain about how HSR will be integrated into the existing (and future) California transportation system.
The Native-Born STEM ShortageThursday, April 28th, 2016
AAF finds that the U.S. will be short roughly one million U.S. citizen STEM workers by 2024. However, this shortage is not consistent across all STEM occupations…AAF projects a surplus of almost 400,000 U.S. citizen STEM workers in occupations related to computer, mathematics, and life, physical, and social science.
The State of Our SchoolsWednesday, March 30th, 2016
School facilities represent the second largest sector of public infrastructure spending, after highways, and yet we have no comprehensive national data source on K–12 public school infrastructure. Even at the state level, school facilities information is often scant. The dearth of official data and standards for our nation's public school infrastructure has left communities and states working largely on their own to plan for and provide high-quality facilities…These realities inspired our three organizations to assemble the best available state-by-state data and propose a standards-based framework by which we can benchmark the nation's investment.
Road to Nowhere: Failing U.S. Transportation InfrastructureWednesday, March 16th, 2016
The United States should be spending more to improve and expand its transportation infrastructure, but instead barely spends enough to maintain the existing network. According to surveys, the quality of U.S. roads and transit is mediocre compared with other peer countries in the Group of Seven (G7). Although road and bridge conditions have actually been improving over time, capacity has not expanded as fast as population growth or miles driven. Congestion is now twice as bad as it was in the early 1980s.
Public Transportation's Role in the Knowledge EconomyMonday, March 14th, 2016

A Waikato farmer who pushed his pregnant partner down a flight of steps and threatened to slit her throat with a scalpel went on to offend while on bail.
For more than 12 months, and against a backdrop of growing financial woes, the Ohaupo man subjected his partner to a catalogue of threats and violence.
Despite the intervention of police on several occasions, the man, who cannot be named because of a court order, continued to offend against the mother of three, finally pulling a knife on her.
Details of the man's offending were revealed yesterday as he was sentenced in Hamilton District Court to two years and nine months' jail.
The 27-year-old earlier pleaded guilty to nine charges, including three charges of assault using a weapon and four charges of assaulting a female.
Judge Philip Connell said the man's offending left his partner terrified and suffering nightmares. The period of offending was also marked by his declining mental health and increasing pressures on the farm where he worked.
Although it was a not mitigating factor, Judge Connell noted the enormous financial stress the couple were under, and the man's effort to please his employer.
Speaking afterwards, Federated Farmers health and safety spokeswoman Jeanette Maxwell said the organisation did not condone domestic violence but the defendant's actions could have been a sign of struggling with mental health issues. The court was told the man had been treated for depression and was in remission.
Ms Maxwell said there were resources available to rural people experiencing depression.
"Federated Farmers is working alongside a number of other organisations to make rural mental health a priority in rural communities and has mailed out a wallet-sized 'When Life's a Bitch' card to farmers throughout New Zealand, with helplines to phone when everything gets a bit too much," she said.
Latest data released by the Health Ministry show depression was an increasing issue for rural communities, with suicide rates significantly higher in rural areas than in urban centres.
A wellbeing research study by AgResearch showed 50 per cent of farmers did not seek help when they need it, while 17 per cent identified with depression and anxiety symptoms.
Last week Rural Women New Zealand launched its "Feeling Rotten" survey to build up a picture of what contributes to anxiety or depression.
Rural Women NZ executive officer Noeline Holt said early responses to the survey indicate the majority of people felt anxious due to financial stress.
When it came to depression, family problems were showing up as a major contributing factor, with "abusive situations" playing a part.

I found the show I wanted to see and a number of hotels were listed, which enabled me to pick one that was close to the theatre and at a reasonable price. I like the fact that the confirmation was e-mailed back immediately and then again two days before we were due to arrive. The hotel was excellent, couldnt fault it and the tickets were waiting at the box office when we arrived at the theatre. Overall, the process was nice and easy and hassle free and I wouldn't hesitate in booking through Hotel Direct again.
