Seed exports rise in value
Relevant offers
Seed exports rose in value to $192 million with many of the high value crops grown from the food bowl of Canterbury.
Radish, carrots, ryegrass and white and red clover were some of the export seed crops grown, many of them in Canterbury and particularly Mid Canterbury, and exported to more than 60 world markets.
Their total value rose $24m, up 14 per cent from the previous year, according to the latest results from Statistics New Zealand.
Herbage seed from rye grass, clover and other grasses accounted for 53 per cent of total seed exports by value and vegetable seed crops had a 47 per cent share.
Australia is the largest market for New Zealand- grown pasture seed and accounted for 16 per cent of total shipments.
Northern hemisphere markets were also important for vegetable seeds and Asian sales were steady and showing good growth opportunities. The Netherlands is the top export market by value for carrots, radish and other vegetable seeds.
New Zealand Grain and Seed Trade Association general manager Thomas Chin said growers, processors and exporters had every reason to be pleased with the latest export data.
"These are high value goods helping move New Zealand agriculture beyond the traditional mix of meat and dairy products."
The industry continued to work with government trade officials to regain brassica seed access to China as soon as possible, said Chin.
"Our capacity to supply the Chinese market, which has significant growth potential, has been hampered by China's ban on New Zealand brassica seed imports following the 2011 detection of blackleg, a pest which ironically is also present in China."
Before the blackleg clampdown the Chinese market for brassica seed was worth $4 million a year to seed producers and growing.
Future industry growth will continue to be driven through developing new crops, focusing on high value speciality seed products and securing new markets. Chin said New Zealand was a world leader in seed multiplication and its strong export performance was consistent with the Government's business growth agenda and its goal to increase the ratio of exports to GDP from the current 30 per cent to 40 per cent by 2025.
"Recent announcements regarding trade agreements with Taiwan, continuing talks with South Korea, and Columbia and the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement have lifted the seed sector's confidence in future growth opportunities."
He said seed production for overseas sales would continue to be big business for New Zealand.

Terrible Design
By bob999
from Long Island, NY USA
Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Frigidaire 6,000 BTU Low-Profile Window Air Conditioner:
I bought this unit because of it's low profile, so it would fit in a small window. However the designer's of this item really messed up. First, even with the airflow directed fully forward, the airflow goes almost straight up, not out into the room. Second, the remote control has no readout on it, so in order to see what temperature it's set at, you have to look at the display on the unit. Unfortunately, the display is mounted horizontally, so you have to be standing right over it to see it. So the remote is virtually worthless. Finally, because the airflow goes straight up, it bounces off the ceiling and back down to the unit, so it doesn't maintain the set temperature throughout the room. It just keeps cycling the compressor off and on. You have to set temp much lower than actually desired. (63 to maintain 68 in the room). If I could find another low profile unit, I'd get rid of this.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Best Air Conditioner
By Joanie P
from West Warwick, RI, United States
I bought this air conditioner about one month ago and it's the best purchase I've ever made. As hot as it's been where I live, I turn this on and within just a short time, my downstairs rooms are cooled off. Works great. I may purchase another one for upstairs.
Works great
By mbusby
from Oklahoma
Bought one to try in a smaller room and it works great, so good I bought another for the room on the other end of the house that gets the hot afternoon sun and still works great. Very quiet and the lower profile looks much better than the big gawdy units.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not crazy about it.
By Difficult installation
from Rockland County, NY, United States
I bought this based on it's energy efficiency, it's low profile, and because it was advertised as being quiet. Well, I tried it the first night in a small bedroom and could not use it on the energy savings economy mode. It would not keep the room cool on this mode. It did keep the room cool in the cool mode but that defeats the "energy efficient rating". It was not quiet and it was difficult to install. The instructions are not good. Because it is low profile it has a channel for the upper sash to sit in. The instructions specify to install with a slight grade outward to drain unit. This became a nightmare because once you close the sash into the channel it levels itself. Very frustrating.

Great for cooling a small room
By Cocoa cookie p
from Phoenix, AZ, United States
I got this as a gift. As a means to reduce bills and only cool one room on the house this is great. The only downer is that the one vent only blows straight up and finding an adapter to redirect the air was difficult for me. Also this unit should come with at least a replacement or reusable filter as that part is also hard to find and makes the unit less efficient. It's also kind of loud.

By bwflorida

Just put it in a month ago, works fine as far as I can tell this early, looks good, seems well made, it's in a storeroom so I don't hear it very much but it's pretty quiet when I'm in there, it's set at 80 to keep the area from getting overly hot,, happy with it so far.

Bought this in Aug and it is pretty quiet, cools nicely, and I love the low profile so there is a lot more window for the light to come in....esp in the winter since I leave the unit in year round.

Doesn't cool room...
By NicB1
I have a small, small room in a NYC apartment and this A/C hardly brings the room to a temperature that's comfortable in the summer. I have to bring the unit's temperature down into the 60s & on "cool" to even begin to feel comfortable. Forget about the economy and fan settings & forget about trying to save money on utilities with this thing, only way it works is if you crank up the energy...

In this volume of 3-in-1 we are introduced to Professor Calculus. He is an absent minded professor who is very hard of hearing. Like the Twins, he too is a comical relief in the series.
Still noticing the art s improving and there is a nice little story going on now too. Nothing you need to read each issue to get, but nice to see recurring characters.

Red Rackham's Treasure: Book 10. Sequel and conclusion to The Secret of the Unicorn. Professor Calculus is introduced. Tintin and friends search for the treasure hidden by Capt. Haddock's ancestor. Despite some red herrings, such as the escape of Max Bird and the possibilty of cannibals, the tale is fairly tame compared to Tintin's usual adventures.

At this point, Herge's storytelling has matured to the level that there's a definite flow to each story. I do find myself a little annoyed that these collections chose to collect three stories, the first of which is the direct sequel to a prior story. The other two are joined as well, but at least appear in the same volume. There is a passing reference made to Tintin having met the opera singer multiple times in the past and yet the continuity is such that I do not believe that one of those case ...more

The Tintin stories for anyone who has read them and understands their history can't be viewed as anything other than groundbreaking. The beginnings of these stories have been around as long as the Lord of the Rings, the illustration and environments in the Tintin books are accurate and extremely detailed. Anyone who has spent even a little time exploring Herge (Georges Remi) can see the painstaking research and adversity he worked through to compose the world around Tintin.

I have always loved Hergé's Tintin adventure books. Rereading them as an adult, some of the racist attitudes inherent in the society of colonial Belgium are more apparent and that did detract from my enjoyment. It is, nonetheless, a series of remarkable adventure stories that must have seemed even more amazing when they were written, so long ago.

Tintin was the greatest guy ever. When I was yonger, I thought Tintin was a yonug journalist (kinda like a young nancy drew) due to the drawings. As I re read them over and over I realized he was probably in his twenties. haha. Tintin comics never get old, no matter how many time you read them. When you're with Tintin, you are caught up in the moment, you feel his adreniline and you always feel a sense of accompishment when HE solves a mystery/puzzle.

Without a doubt Herge is up there with the best storytellers of all time. His masterful artwork, memorable characters and exciting stories create a world that is at once imaginative and historically rich, classic and timeless for children and adult readers today. Red Rackham's Treasure is definitely one of the best Tintin tales - a must read. Herge was one of those rare perfectionists who managed to achieve what he set out to do. These books are works of art.
Jan 05, 2009 Aaron Kaase added it
Volume 1 of 7 volume series, each of these contain three Tintin books. I like these books because they're compact and don't take a lot of shelf space. The printing quality is very good: rich color ink on nice, smooth paper. The only complaint I have is with the physical dimensions of the books, which are 45% smaller than the traditional albums. That said, they are no substitute for the original albums if you are a serious Tintin fan or collector, as I am.
Apr 22, 2012 Jenny GB rated it really liked it
This volume is another of my favorites in the series. I love the two part story of the Incas since I'm drawn to ancient cultures. The conclusion of the Unicorn story was very nice as well. One of my favorite characters, Professor Calculus, also features heavily in these books which makes them even more enjoyable for me. I have great memories of reading these books as a kid and it's wonderful to revisit them to enjoy them all over again.

This is a journey down Nostalgia Lane for me. I haven't read these TinTin adventures since I was a pre teen in the UK. I loved then then, and I enjoy them now. Of course the older, and more educated me, can read the undertones of imperialism and xenophobia when they appear, but still enjoy the quirky characters, wit, adventures, and mishaps in the stories. To be precise, I can still enjoy the quirky characters... OK that was probably too inside of a joke. I am going to get back to Tintin and Sno ...more

I haven't read this. My rating is solely based on the sound of my son saying "Thanks, Mom, for getting me this" multiple times and not complaining when he has to read it. I like the comic-book format without the superheroes in clingy costumes.

Wonderful art. Great adventure around the world. Funny characters. Clean without the sex and profanity that so many comics contain today. A comic that is enjoyable and you can give a kid as soon as he can read. Highly recommended.

What's not to love about Tin Tin? Well, there's the imperialist undertones and vague racism, but OTHER than that Tin Tin is a plucky little guy who travels the world with his white dog (who often manages to get drunk) and his blustery sailor friend (who also often manages to get drunk), solving mysteries, searching for lost treasure, thwarting kidnappers, and the like. One thing that really grew on me is the composition of the comics--the colors come in rich, dusky tones and the drawings are sur ...more

The invention relates to an under rafters insulation system for a steep roof, comprising at least two mutually spaced and parallel extending building elements and insulation elements, in particular mineral fiber insulation elements, arranged in a space between the building elements, wherein the building elements are mountable to rafters of the steep roof by means of holding elements.
Under rafters insulation systems for a steep roof are known from prior art. These systems are insulation systems which are arranged in addition to between rafters insulation systems intermediate of counter-laths arranged under the rafters. Such an under rafter insulation system is normally composed of insulation elements which are wedged for instance between the counter-laths. Since the thermal transmission resistance increases with an increasing bulk density of insulation elements made of mineral fibers and since the production of such highly compressed insulation elements is expensive and makes their processing/handling more difficult, it is advantageous in the field of roof insulation to process insulation elements having a relatively low bulk density and hence a low inherent stiffness. Moreover, in the under rafters insulation system insulation elements having a low material thickness are processed which in turn have only a low inherent stiffness, so that the clamping of these insulation elements is made more difficult. During installation, these insulation elements are compressed parallel to the large surfaces.
To the counter-laths cover elements such as plaster board panels are finally fixed. Now the problem exists that the insulation elements tend to fall out of the space formed between the counter-laths, until they are fixed to the cover elements.
This problem is solved for example by an under rafters insulation system according to DE 20006 759 U1. From this document an under rafters insulation system is known comprising a holding device for securing the insulation elements against falling out of the intermediate space between the counter-laths. This holding device can consist for example of bracket having a U-shaped cross section and two legs as well as a web interconnecting the legs, and on the free end of the legs outwardly directed sections are arranged extending parallel to the web. This bracket is pushed over a counter-lath, so that the legs extend in the direction of the surface normal of the insulation elements in the between rafters insulation. The insulation elements of the under rafters insulation can then be placed onto the sections arranged on both sides.
This fixing element has the disadvantage that the installation between the counter-lath system and the already previously installed between rafters insulation system frequently results in the insulation elements of the between rafters insulation or a steam barrier covering the between rafters insulation towards the room being damaged. From this document a further holding device is known which consists of flat elements which are fixed to the counter-laths. Fixing takes place for example by means of screws or nails. This embodiment of the holding device increases the working time for constructing the between rafters insulation.
Finally a further holding device is known from this document, which consists of an adhesive that is applied to non-laminated surfaces of the panel sections of the between rafters insulation. Applying additional adhesive may lead to that the fire protection properties of an insulation system constructed in this way are no longer satisfied. Incidentally, also this technique is unsatisfying, because especially the rigidity of mineral wool insulation elements having a low bulk density is not sufficient for securely preventing adhered insulation elements from tearing off.
In the above-described under rafters insulation system the counter-laths are usually made of wood and are nailed or screwed to the rafters. An alternative embodiment provides the use of profiles instead of counter-laths, and preferably profiles are used which have a U-shaped cross section. These profiles have two legs and a web interconnecting the legs, and the legs are arranged in same directions at right angles to the web.
During proper mounting, the legs of the profiles are oriented obtusely towards the rafters, so that the web of the profile is positioned at a distance to the surfaces of the rafters. Inside the space between the leg of the profile and the surfaces of the rafters, electric lines can be laid for example.
Mounting of the profiles to the rafters takes place by means of L-shaped angle elements which are screwed to a leg of the profile on one side and to a surface of the rafter on the other side.
In view of the above-described prior art the invention is based on the problem of improving an under rafters insulation system of the type described to the effect that the insulation elements are supported in an easy way between the building elements, at least for a period of time in which the under rafters insulation system is not yet completed with a final cover.
The solution of the problem provides that in an under rafters insulation system according to the present invention the holding elements additionally secure the insulation elements against falling out of a space between the building elements.
Prior art does not provide such holding elements, at least if U-shaped profiles are used as building elements. Only if the under rafters insulation system is constructed with a counter-lath system additional holding devices are provided for securing the insulation elements against falling out of the intermediate space between the counter-laths.
The invention now provides that additional holding devices can be dispensed with and that the holding elements are instead used not only for mounting the building elements but additionally also for securing the insulation elements in the space between the building elements.
An advantageous construction of the under rafters insulation system of the invention provides that the holding elements are substantially U-shaped or L-shaped and include a leg for mounting to the rafter and a second leg extending substantially at right angles to the first leg for mounting to the building element, the second leg having a free end which can be bent over towards the insulation element after its mounting to the building element, in order to be placed into contact with the surface of the insulation element. Accordingly, this embodiment of the under rafters insulation system of the invention has the important advantage that a small number of components allows secure fixing of the insulation elements arranged between the building elements. Additional holding devices can normally be dispensed with in the construction according to the invention, although such devices may be useful for securing the insulation elements, as described in the following.
A further feature of the invention provides that the building elements are formed as profiles with a substantially U-shaped cross section. These profiles offer the advantage that the hollow space between the profiles and the rafters is available for accommodating energy lines such as electric cables for instance.
According to a further feature of the invention it turned out to be beneficial that the holding elements are made from a plastically deformable material, in particular from thin metal sheets. This arrangement makes the handling of the holding elements much easier, because the same can be installed in their L-shape before the leg protruding over the building element is bent over towards the insulation elements.
A further feature of the invention preferably provides that the holding elements are formed as perforated metal sheets. If formed in this way, mounting of the holding devices to the rafters on one side or to the building element on the other side can be arranged to be variable. The configuration of the holding element as a perforated metal sheet is also advantageous to the effect that the final bending operation can be easily performed. Finally it should be appreciated that, though clearly reduced in weight, the corresponding building elements still have sufficient stability for satisfying the stated requirements.
A supplementing construction of the under rafters insulation system provides that the profiles can be connected in a form-fit fashion to at least one mounting bracket that extends into the space between the profiles and secures the insulation element against falling out. Normally the profiles extend at right angles to the extension of the rafters, overlapping several arrays of rafters, and are fixed to the mutually spaced parallel extending rafters. Depending on the spacing between the rafters, a more or less wide array of rafters is produced.
In the under rafters insulation system according to the invention the insulation elements are secured in the region of the rafters by the holding elements. If the spacing between the rafters is relatively wide or if the insulation elements, in particular those from mineral fibers, have a low inherent stability, e.g. a low bulk density, additional support may be required for the insulation elements in the region of the rafter arrays between the rafters and the profiles there arranged. For this purpose mounting brackets are provided that can be connected to a profile in a form-fit fashion.
It should be noted that these mounting brackets can of course be used also independently of the above-described holding elements. Accordingly, in the construction of the under rafters insulation system according to the invention the holding elements do not play a decisive part if the insulation elements are supported by a plurality of mounting brackets in the space between the building elements. This construction is given for instance if the building elements are mounted to the rafters by means of usual fixing elements that do not extend beyond the outer surface of building elements, so that these fixing elements are merely provided to fix the building elements to the rafters.
Further it should be noted that the above-described embodiments of the invention are not limited to the use of profiles as building elements. It is rather possible to implement the construction of an under rafters insulation system according to the invention also with a counter-lath system, wherein the counter-laths are fixed to the rafters through holding elements.
According to a further development of this embodiment the mounting bracket is substantially L-shaped and mountable to the profile in a form-fit fashion by one leg thereof. The second leg, which extends at right angles to the first leg, overlaps at least one insulation element if it is arranged on the profile in accordance with its intended purpose.
Preferably, the mounting bracket includes a seat which overlaps a free end of one leg of the profile. Additionally a protrusion formed in the transition zone between one leg and a web of the U-shaped profile can be arranged in the transition zone from the first to the second leg, so that the mounting bracket is connected to the profile at least partially in a form-fit fashion and in a force-fit fashion for the rest of it.
According to a further feature it turned out to be advantageous to construct the mounting bracket from a rigid material, in particular metal or a plastic material, to securely support also insulation elements having a higher weight. Concerning a construction from a plastic material, a reduced own weight and a reduced thermal conductivity can be emphasized compared to a metal mounting bracket.
A further feature of the invention finally provides that the mounting bracket consists of a thin metal sheet which preferably has a material thickness<0.75 mm and is at least partly formed with a bead. Here the bead serves to reinforce the mounting bracket from a very thin metal sheet, so as to achieve the required stability of the mounting bracket, which additionally has a low-weight construction.
Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of the attached drawing showing preferred embodiments of a under rafters insulation system according to the invention. In the drawing it is shown by:
It can be seen from
The holding element 5 is constructed from a thin metal sheet, so that the legs 7 can be easily bent onto the insulation elements 4 in the direction of the arrows 9 to additionally secure the insulation elements 4 against falling out of the space between the profiles 3.
The profile 3 is connected to the legs 7 of the holding element 5 through additional screw connections 10.
The final position of the legs 7 after folding towards the insulation elements 4 is illustrated in the above-mentioned figures by means of a broken line 11.
The mounting bracket according to
On the free end of the leg 16 an inclined surface 17 is formed which makes the insertion of the insulation element 4 easier with the mounting bracket 14 fixed to the profile.
The leg 15 of the mounting bracket 14 is provided on its free end with a seat 18 which is formed by crimping the free end of the leg 15 and which overlaps a free end of a leg of the profile 3 when the mounting bracket 14 is fixed to the profile 3 in accordance with its intended use.
In the transition zone from the leg 15 to the leg 16 an additional nose-like protrusion 19 is formed which overlaps the transition zone from the web to the leg of the profile 3, so that a form-fit or force-fit connection in the region of the protrusion 19 between the mounting bracket 14 and the profile 3 can be produced in addition to a form-fit connection in the region of the seat 18.
The mounting bracket 14 is made from a thin metal sheet having a material thickness of 0.6 mm and additionally includes a bead not to be seen in
The invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments of an under rafters insulation system. Various changes and modifications are possible within the scope of protection of the invention. For example the profile 3 may be also constructed as a box-like profile or it may have the form of a counter-lath, also from wood. The embodiment of an under rafters insulation system illustrated in the
