Fonterra criticises shareholder proposal
Relevant offers
Fonterra's board, dealing with internal division and growing farmer unease about governance, has criticised two shareholders for presenting a resolution seeking to cement farmer representation on the board to next month's annual meeting.
In a notice of annual meeting posted on the NZX, the board - introducing a constitutional amendments proposal from shareholder and former Federated Farmers dairy leader Lachlan McKenzie - said it did not support the proposals and recommends shareholders vote against them.
"In addition the board would like to register its disappointment that the co-operative's governance structure, philosophy and culture have not been followed in putting these proposals forward," the notice said.
McKenzie's resolution, supported by South Island shareholder Ann Jones, proposes enshrining in Fonterra's constitution a minimum of nine farmer-elected directors on the board, and that only farmer directors can elect the chairman.
The Fonterra Shareholders Council, which represents the interests of Fonterra's 10,500 farmer-owners, also does not support the resolution, saying it pre-empts a governance review under way at New Zealand's biggest company.
McKenzie said the notice comment was "the board trying to stifle debate".
"Part of the democratic process in a co-operative is active shareholder engagement and active debate. The board is criticising me instead of saying it is a good idea or not."
Fonterra's legal counsel David Matthews said the board meant that Fonterra as a cooperative had a "well-resourced" structure in place to receive, discuss, analyse and consult on shareholder concerns. This was the shareholder council, which represented the interests of 10,500 farmers. The council is funded by farmers.
"If everyone put forward their resolutions (outside the council) it could have a potentially chaotic outcome.
"It's really important (for the cooperative) to work through the impacts of these things and have proper analysis and consultation."
The board also wrote the McKenzie proposal pre-empts the governance and representation review, and had "not been well thought through" and was not in the best interests of the co-operative.
The joint company-council review was started at least six months ago.
The notice of meeting says if any constitutional changes are recommended from the review, farmers will be "fully considered" and changes would require support from 50 per cent of the council, and 75 per cent farmer-shareholder voting support.
McKenzie and Jones' proposals follow a more than two year bruising debate in the co-operative over the introduction of share trading among farmers (TAF), which was narrowly voted in by farmers in June.
TAF involves units in Fonterra shares being offered to the public and listed on the NZX and ASX, sparking fears among some farmers that it is the first step to loss of farmer control of the company. The price of the units and their allocation will be announced by the board today after an institutional offer and book build.
The annual meeting is on December 17 at Hamilton
Meanwhile, Fonterra chairman-elect John Wilson says he has "no idea" if his chances of re-election as a director next month are being eroded amid claims of growing farmer unease about governance standards at the dairy giant.
Farmer-director Wilson is seeking re-election to the board along with fellow incumbent Nicola Shadbolt, and nine other farmer candidates vying for three board seats at New Zealand's biggest company.
Wilson, a Waikato farmer, was recently named by the board as successor to chairman Sir Henry van der Heyden. It is now widely known among shareholders of the farmer-owned co-operative that the vote was not unanimous and that not all Fonterra's nine farmer-elected directors supported Wilson.
The third vacancy in next month's election was created when farmer-director Colin Armer quit after Wilson was announced as chairman-elect.
Wilson's election came as the co-operative was still licking its wounds after a bruising debate over the van der Heyden-driven introduction of TAF.
Then came the news that van der Heyden would stay on the board for an unspecified time, and that a governance review was under way. Opponents of TAF see another threat to farmer control in the review, with one option being the reduction of farmer directors and an increase in independent appointed governors.
Wilson confirmed he attended a meeting of shareholders in Ashburton last week where concerns about governance dominated. It is understood farmers demanded a date when van der Heyden would step down.
Wilson said he would not discuss a farmer meeting, and would not comment on his understanding of the level of concern about current governance.
Asked if he believed shareholder unease would affect his votes, he said he had "no idea" and it was "not an issue for me".
"The board has made the best decisions for the co-operative."
Fonterra's explanation for van der Heyden and independent director Ralph Waters staying on after next month's annual meeting was "continuity" - there was potential for five new directors when the ink was barely dry on TAF.
Units in a new $500 million Fonterra unit trust fund will list on the NZX and ASX on Friday.
The sharemarket bookbuild and institutional offer launched yesterday and continues today. Pricing and allocations will be announced today.
Wilson said while the board had "absolute confidence" it had TAF and its mechanics right after four years of work, the capital restructure was unique.
"There might be something unforeseen so experience is critical. All the directors after a huge amount of due diligence have signed the prospectus and have personal and collective responsibility.
"It is best to have as many directors having signed the prospectus there as TAF goes forward."
Wilson said the May board meeting was likely to be van der Heyden's last, and Waters would probably be replaced within six months.
"This is exactly the right thing to do. It's an absolute no-brainer. This is very clear and farmers understand it," Wilson said. "This is a non-issue and those who say a chairman shouldn't stay on a board . . . there are many examples where chairmen stay on. Every situation is different, every situation is unique. It's doing what is best for the company."

Voodoo worshiper 'decapitated man with a guitar string and kept the severed head to talk to'
- James Paul Harris, 29, is to face trial for decapitating 49-year-old James Gerety in 2011 with a guitar string
- His girlfriend testified that Harris kept Gerety's severed head and spoke to it after the alleged murder
- Harris is a believer in voodoo and kept various occult paraphernalia
- His girlfriend told the court that Harris admitted to shooting Gerety and torturing him for two days before cutting his head off
- Dispute is believed to have been about money owed from a Social Security check
- Arrested in March 2012 and has pleaded not guilty to the murder
A man accused of beheading a Topeka resident with a guitar string has pleaded innocent to premeditated first-degree murder.
Police say 29-year-old James Paul Harris practiced voodoo and kept the head of 49-year-old James Gerety to talk to after the March or April 2011 killing.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports that Gerety's partial remains were found a year later in Carbondale, 18 miles south of Topeka.
Decapitation charge: James Paul Harris, left, is escorted from the Osage County Courthouse in Lyndon, Kansas last month for a court appearance after being accused of beheading James Gerety with a guitar string three years ago
Harris' former girlfriend testified in March that he told her he used a guitar string to sever Gerety's head.
She said he disposed of the body but kept the head in a bag.
A Topeka police officer said the ex-girlfriend told him Harris practiced voodoo and that he liked to talk to the head.
A judge on Monday set Harris' trial for June 23.
Thomas Henderson, an attorney who handled Gerety's Social Security payments, testified at the March hearing that he reported Gerety missing in April 2011 after he failed to pick up his payments.
Henderson said Gerety planned to live with Harris in Carbondale, 18 miles south of Topeka.
Dressed in a bright orange jumpsuit, Harris appeared in court under heavy guard for the 30 minute hearing - six Osage County sheriff deputies watched him sat with his two attorneys.
He is charged with the premeditated first-degree murder of James Gerety, who authorities believe was killed between March 3, 2011 and April 20, 2011.
On March 14 in a pre-trial hearing, former girlfriend, Bobbie Williams testified that Harris told her he killed Gerety using a guitar string, disposed of the body, but kept the head in a bag for himself.
Murdered: Harris is charged with the premeditated first-degree murder in the death of James Gerety, (pictured) who died in March or April of 2011
Another witness at that hearing, Topeka police Detective Brian Hill said that during questioning after his arrest, Harris told him that he kept the victim's head in a canvas bag with a draw string.
Hill testified that Harris spoke to the head, and had an active interest in voodoo and practiced it.
According to Harris' former girlfriend, Harris told her that he had shot the victim in the stomach and then tortured him for two days at their Topeka house.
After he had finished with his brutal treatment of Gerety, Harris then decapitated him with the string, according to Williams' testimony.
Then, Harris is said to have put Gerety's torso, arms and legs in a barrel and burried it on land owned by his father, Jeff Harris in Osage County.
Harris' girlfriend testified in March that he said he severed Gerety's head with a guitar string. A Topeka police officer testified that he was told Harris kept the head so he could talk to it as part of a voodoo ritual
Williams testified in court that she saw Gerety's head once, but then claimed later on that she was mistaken.
She did tell the court that Harris kept a voodoo doll named 'Jimbo', 'Bob on the Hill' and 'Poor Jimbo Bolinsky'.
The doll hung from the ceiling in their apartment.
Gerety's skull was recovered on March 24, 2012, at Jeff Harris' home by his girlfriend, Shirley Johnson.
She had been on the hunt for mushrooms when she found a ball barely buried and brought it inside to show Harris' father, who promptly called the police and his son was arrested.
Harris was in federal custody on unrelated charges when a warrant was
issued in October 2013 and he was placed on hold for Kansas authorities.
In January, Harris filed a request to have the hold resolved and he was booked into the Osage County jail in March for court proceedings.

Equine influenza (EI) is a highly contagious respiratory disease of horses.
The aim of this study was to evaluate two rapid antigen detection kits (Directigen or DFA, and Espline) and a commercial ELISA for the detection of EI nucleoprotein in nasal swabs.
Nasal swab samples from naturally and experimentally infected horses were used to compare the sensitivity and specificity of these assays to virus isolation (VI) and real-time RT-PCR.
If real-time RT-PCR was considered as the gold standard, the sensitivity of the other tests in field samples was 68% (DFA), 35% (ELISA), 29% (Espline), and 9% (VI). These tests had 100% specificity when compared to real-time RT-PCR. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve indicated that decreasing the cutoff of the ELISA would increase sensitivity with some loss of specificity. In samples from experimentally infected horses, the sensitivity of the tests compared with real-time RT-PCR was 69% (VI), 27% (DFA), 6% (Espline), and 2% (ELISA). The specificity was 100% for Espline and ELISA and 95% for VI and DFA.
This study illustrated that DFA is the most sensitive antigen detection test evaluated for the diagnosis of EI and that it can detect virus in some subclinical infected and vaccinated horses. The results suggest that DFA is a useful adjunct to laboratory tests and may be effective as a screening test in a quarantine station or similar facility where horses are monitored daily.

Over the river, and through the wood,
To Grandmother's house we go;
the horse knows the way to carry the sleigh
through the white and drifted snow.
If that Thanksgiving song seems ingrained in American traditions, it's because the lyrics, a poem by Lydia Maria Child, were first published in 1844. Generations have sung the song on the way to family gatherings.
The first few generations singing the song, riding along in horse-drawn buggies, could relate to the verses about traveling in chilly weather:
Over the river, and through the wood,
no matter for winds that blow;
Or if we get the sleigh upset
into a bank of snow
With the early blast of cold weather we received this month, we can relate, too. And we don't want to end up going off the road!
With wintery travel in mind, here are ingredients for a safety kit for your car, courtesy of the Senior Health pages on the National Institutes of Health website (NIHSeniorHealth.gov).
- cell phone
- first aid kit
- flashlight
- flares and a white flag
- jumper cables
- jack (and ground mat) for changing a tire if necessary
- work gloves and a change of clothes
- basic repair tools and some duct tape (for temporarily repairing a hose leak)
- a jug of water and paper towels for cleaning up
- nonperishable food, drinking water and medicines
- extra windshield washer fluid
- maps (for areas with no cell signal)
You'll also want to include a blanket to help you stay warm if you do have car trouble.
We want you to stay safe on your way to Grandma's house or wherever you are gathering with your loved ones. Happy Thanksgiving!

Ariel Schalit, Associated Press
ASHKELON, Israel — Israel is closing the books on a rare millennia-old Jewish tradition.
Nearly three decades after Israel began airlifting Ethiopia's ancient Jewish community out of the Horn of Africa, Israel's rabbis are now working to phase out the community's white-turbaned clergy, the kessoch, whose unusual religious practices are at odds with the rabbinate's Orthodox Judaism.
The effort has added to the sense of discrimination felt by Israel's 120,000 Ethiopian citizens. These sentiments boiled over this month after a group of landlords in the southern town of Kiryat Malachi refused to accept them as tenants, prompting a large rally planned for Wednesday across from Israel's parliament.
"We are just like all the other Jews. We don't have any other religion," said Kess Semai Elias, 42.
Descendants of the lost Israelite tribe of Dan, according to Jewish lore, Ethiopian Jews spent millennia isolated from the rest of the Jewish world. In most Jewish communities, the priesthood of the Bible was replaced by rabbis who emphasized text study and prayer. Ethiopia's Jewish kessoch continued the traditions of Biblical-era priests, sacrificing animals and collecting the first fruits of the harvest.
The two traditions diverged so much that the first trickle of Ethiopian Jewish immigrants to Israel were asked to undergo a quickened conversion ceremony to appease rabbis who were dubious about their religious pedigree.
When Israeli clandestine operations rescued large groups of Ethiopian Jews from war and famine in the 1980s and early 1990s, a rabbinic consensus was reached and the newcomers did not have to convert — except for a group known as the Falash Mura, whose ancestors were forcibly converted to Christianity generations before.
The 58 kessoch who arrived in Israel in those early days maintained their leadership role in the Ethiopian Jewish community, and in 1992 successfully lobbied the Israeli government to grant them salaries and status similar to those of government rabbis. But as the aging clergy began ordaining a new generation of kessoch over the past decade, and those new leaders also wanted recognition, Israel's rabbinate objected.
After public demonstrations and a brief hunger strike, the newly ordained kessoch struck a bittersweet deal last month with Israel's ministry of religious services.
The ministry would finally implement a 2010 government resolution to recognize 13 of them and give them state salaries. But Israel's state rabbis made it very clear to the new kessoch: They would be the last.
"It's for the best," said Rabbi Yosef Hadana, 63, of the Israeli rabbinate.
Himself the son of a respected kess, Hadana long ago traded the shash, the white turban of his father's tradition, for the black suit and fedora of ultra-Orthodox Jews.
"After 2,500 years of isolation from the nation of Israel, we have returned. Now we need to find a way to be one people," Rabbi Hadana said.
Hadana says he holds great respect for the kessoch. They were the ones who once spun tales of Jerusalem's splendor at evening storytelling sessions, keeping alive the Ethiopian Jews' religious tradition. But anyone in Israel who wants to continue that tradition, he said, must get rabbinic training. Streamlining their religious practice can help integrate Ethiopian immigrants into Israeli society, he said.
Ethiopian-Israelis have long struggled in Israel, with literacy rates relatively low, the culture gap wide and rates of poverty and domestic violence well above the national average.
Many of the older generation work menial jobs, men as security guards and women as cleaners. Their children, most of whom grew up in Israel's Orthodox Jewish religious schools, speak fluent Hebrew, serve in the army alongside native Israelis and are increasingly studying engineering and sciences in Israel's universities. Despite these gains, the younger generation is still struggling compared to other Israelis.

Woman allegedly bites store employeeDecember 08,2015
A New York woman allegedly bit a TJ Maxx employee's thumb after he tried to retrieve the underwear she had stolen from the Rutland store.
Candace M. Alberti, 33, of White Plains N.Y., was initially scheduled to be arraigned on the two misdemeanor charges of retail theft and simple assault Monday, but her hearing was moved to Dec. 14.
TJ Maxx loss-prevention officer Richard Durham, 46, told Rutland police Alberti kicked him, slapped the glasses off his face and bit his left thumb outside the store when he took hold of the purse into which he had seen her place unpaid merchandise.
The $21.50 in underwear Alberti stole was retrieved when the two women shopping with Alberti intervened to prevent her from hitting him again and took the merchandise out of her bag, Durham said.
If convicted, Alberti faces a maximum of one and half years in prison and $1,500 in fines.MORE IN This Just InHiker rescued from AT

12/9/2012 @ 9:22 AMCHICAGO (AP) - A Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle charged with intoxication manslaughter following a car accident that killed his teammate was arrested for driving under the influence in Illinois in 2009.

Brent was arrested Saturday morning in North Texas. Police say he was speeding when he hit a curb and flipped the vehicle he was driving, killing Brown.
Champaign County Court records show Brent was arrested in February 2009 near the University of Illinois for driving under the influence, speeding and driving without a valid license.

IZMIR, TURKEY—DoubleTree by Hilton Izmir-Alsancak has opened, marking the brand's debut in the city.

The 115-room hotel recently underwent a refurbishment program that includes 800 sq. m of events spaces, incorporating four meeting rooms and a 350-sq.-m ballroom.

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.

22,000 sandbags for Christchurch
Related Links
Relevant offers
Your Weather
A total of 22,000 sandbags will be filled in Christchurch and available at high flood-risk neighbourhoods.
Tropical Cyclone Lusi has softened slightly but Christchurch's emergency response agencies have been put on standby and advise residents to remain on high alert.
Drains have been cleared, stopbanks shored up and by midday tomorrow up to 22,000 filled sandbags will be available.
Additional height was added to the stopbank at the New Brighton camping ground, which was evacuated during last week's storm.
Welfare centres will be opened if they are required in response to any flooding. Neighbourhood Support coordinators and other community contacts have been alerted to the forecast weather, so they can help to inform their communities.
Residents can help themselves to sandbags from these points after noon tomorrow. They do not have to be returned.
- Speight St-Aylesford St corner
- Hills Rd-Shirley Rd shops (car park)
- Barrington St
- Ferry Rd at Woolston Park
- corner Union St-Seaview Terrace - Owles Tce-Seaview Tce, New Brighton
- corner Martindales Rd-Truscotts Rd, Heathcote
- Burwood Park
Lusi weakened slightly from a category 3 storm to a category 2 storm overnight, but was still packing a punch.
It was due to hit the top of the North Island tonight, with the top of the South Island expected to get up to 160mm of rain from tomorrow.
An online graphic showing the storm approaching has been created by Japanese-based software engineer Cameron Beccario.
Metservice forecaster John Law said Sunday would prove the "wettest" day for Christchurch and Canterbury, while easterly winds could reach gale-strength over Banks Peninsula and other exposed parts of the region.
Tomorrow was not looking "too bad", but drizzle would begin falling in the Canterbury foothills late tomorrow afternoon, moving closer towards Christchurch overnight.
"[Lusi's] still looking like it will cause significant impact. I think it's very sensible, everywhere in New Zealand, to keep an eye on the forecast this week."
Lines company were also prepared for potential problems on Sunday.
About 7000 homes in parts of Banks Peninsula and Christchurch lost power during last week's storm, with power unable to be restored to a handful of homes until Tuesday this week.
Orion chief executive Rob Jamieson said lines workers were always prepared in case of a big event, such as a storm or an earthquake.
Vehicles were kept fueled up and staff were rostered so that their response could be escalated if a big outage occurred.
Jamieson reminded residents to call in an electrician if their property did flood and to call Orion immediately if they came across any damaged powerlines.
The latest weather warning from Metservice said the adverse weather conditions across the country could cause slips and surface flooding and make driving hazardous.
The NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) was warning motorists to drive to the conditions as wind and rain could make driving difficult.
Journey manager Lee Wright said drivers should increase following distances during wet weather and be vigilant for slips and debris on the road.
NZTA would be working with local authorities to keep roads open and safe, and electronic signs would be used in some places to keep road users informed of conditions ahead.
The severe gales could also lift roofs and bring down trees and powerlines, prompting a warning for people to exercise extreme caution.
"Make sure you keep up-to-date with all the latest warnings and watches," Law said.
The Christchurch City Council yesterday said it was preparing for a "worst-case scenario".
Staff had been busy checking stormwater drains and stop banks, while a stockpile of sandbags and four welfare centres dotted around the city would be available if needed.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said more information on the city's preparations would be made available today, including where the "key locations" for collecting sandbags would be.
Dalziel said sandbags were only effective in "isolated areas", such as protecting garages or commercial shop fronts, or for diverting water running downhill.
Sandbags would not help residents who had water coming up from under their floorboards.
Council engineers estimated it would have taken about 500,000 sandbags to make even a small difference to the flooding issues experienced in the Flockton St area last week.
The council was liaising with the Army and volunteer agencies to secure extra resources if they were needed, and all welfare and response agencies were expected to meet again today to update their plans.
Those who believed sandbags could help address a specific flooding issue on their property were asked to phone the council call centre on 03 941 8999.
The council said those details would be collected and used as part of the planning for the distribution of sandbags.
A forecast storm will not put the second Lyttelton fuel tank hit by a landslide in further danger, oil company Mobil says.
The tank, with 91 unleaded fuel, was damaged last week when heavy rain caused a slip.
It also damaged a jet fuel tank, spilling at least 1500 litres into the harbour after escaping from the catchment pond.
Despite community concerns, a Mobil spokeswoman said the fuel was safe.
"It is stable and it is not leaking. We have a team of technical engineers down at the site," she said.
Lyttelton-Mount Herbert Community Board chairwoman Paula Smith was concerned forecast rain this weekend could further damage the unleaded fuel tank.
The spokeswoman said that was "pure speculation", saying Mobil had met Smith and city councillor Andrew Turner to alleviate any community concerns. "There was a slip and we have a process. We are preparing to safely transfer it to another tank."
The spokeswoman could not say why the tank had not yet been drained or what stage of the process the company was at.
Naval Point Yacht Club secretary Ken Camp shared Smith's concern. "The problem is we don't know what they are up to. We get those ridiculous press releases which don't tell us anything."
Mobil had not contacted or met with them, he said.
"We have over 1000 members and we have not heard one word from them whether we are allowed back into the club.
"On Monday, I had had enough and went up to the cordon and said, 'Let me through, I'm going to work'. They are lucky they did."

A powerful view of Flip and Tale's Treeparrot when it's hidden in children

A fundamental issue for IS academics and practitioners is how collaborative IT tools can be effectively used to improve group work. Collaborative IT tools are integrated sets of IT functionalities that facilitate communication and information sharing among interconnected entities. Integrating the literature on group support systems with recent work on IT capabilities, this paper introduces the construct of collaborative IT tools leveraging capability. It is defined as the ability of groups to effectively use a set of IT functionalities - workspace sharing, conferencing, file sharing, scheduling, chat, email - available in collaborative IT tools to facilitate group work. Collaborative IT tools leveraging capability is proposed to impact group performance. To enhance the group's effectiveness in leveraging collaborative IT tools, we propose a set of antecedents: customization of collaborative IT tools, the group's habit in using collaborative IT tools, the group's perceived usefulness and ease of use of collaborative IT tools, the group member's trust, and environmental uncertainty. Data from 365 group managers support the study's structural model with the antecedents and outcomes of collaborative IT tools leveraging capability at different levels of environmental uncertainty. The paper discusses the study's contributions to understanding the nature of collaborative IT tools leveraging capability, its impact on group work, and how it can be enhanced to facilitate group work. Implications for enhancing group work with the aid of collaborative IT tools are also discussed.

Only his second feature, Kes remains one of Ken Loach's distinctive, largely because the working style we now associate with him was first set here.
Gone are some of the more mannered techniques he had used in his BBC plays in favour of a more realistic, observer style that owes its roots in the Czech cinema he was so fond of.
Also gone is the uneasy compromise he made on his first feature, Poor Cow, to include a star name in his work in the shape of Terence Stamp. From hereon in, Ken Loach films would cast non actors and amateurs, real people in lead roles and none were perhaps so distinctive as the young schoolboy David Bradley who bagged…
3rd viewing. still absolutely slaughters me. This viewing was a far greater revelation for me though. Every single one of Loach's luminous frames clicked this time and quietly dovetailed into what I am now quite sure is the greatest Coming-of-Age drama out there.
David Bradley's face maps the plight of every child who has been denied the privileged, Disney Channel idea of childhood. His is the type of limited, oppressive upbringing that has produced the miserable bunch of grown ups populating this film. The phys ed teacher who dreamed of playing Premier League football and now has to live out the dregs of his dream playing against primary school boys. The Headmaster, who led the pack of troublemakers in his…
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Ken Loach's second - and still best - feature is this stunning translation of the Barry Hines novel, with David Bradley perfect as malnourished Barnsley school leaver Billy Casper, who escapes the drudgery of pit village life through his friendship with a savage, graceful hawk.
The hawk represents hope, freedom, aspiration and poetry - none of which are allowed to survive in a Britain that kicks the shit out of its working classes, breeding only vicious alpha males peddling mundane brutality and sadistic teachers blinkeredly hurling their young charges onto the scrapheap.
Though it's lit by frequent flashes of wry humour, glorious music and cinematography, and moments of transcendent escape redolent with rare beauty, it's ultimately a chilling depiction of utter hopelessness; one that packs a devastating emotional wallop, tha knows.
There's something about Kes that is mesmeric that goes beyond filmmaking. Every frame, every line of dialogue is purposeful, it keeps the narrative flowing, whilst we the viewer become immersed in Billy's character and the constant barrage of impasses he faces.
The solace in a Kestrel in which Billy finds, is all the more potent when the evils of the finale come to fruition. It's at that moment that Billy's innocence is lost forever. Truly heartbreaking.
Classic British film about poverty and hopelessness in a Yorkshire mining town as seen through the eyes of a spirited young man. Abused and bullied both at home and at school, Billy leads a solitary life with little hope and a bleak future. The only thing that gives his life meaning is a kestrel that he has captured and trained. His relationship with the bird is not one of owner and pet... he knows that she is still wild, a free spirit that is a reflection of his own yearning. Shot in a straight-forward manner with real-life locations and a number of unprofessional actors, Kes is a believable and gritty film that lingers. A must-see.

Ken Loach est un cinéaste que je connais peu (seulement en réputation en fait) et je crois même qu'il s'agit là de mon premier visionnement d'un de ses films. Comme je m'y attendais, c'est intéressant et vise une forme ouverte avec un récit à bribes, même avec l'adaptation d'un roman. C'est franc, honnête et touchant, mais ça me laisse tout de même un peu froid. Par contre, j'ai passé un bon moment sans être renversé (et le film vieillit très bien), c'est simplement que son cinéma ne m'attire pas plus que ça. Bah ouais, c'est comme ça. J'aime bien un peu de tout, mais le temps file et les préférences vont finir par prendre le dessus sur le « vouloir tout connaître »...
I would have liked this film more if the bird was played by...oh, let's say...an ostrich.
First Ken Loach film for me and it sticks to the heart instantly. A film of my kind, a simple life, which doesn't just need anything bigger, but take everything precious on what we deserve. Loved it.
With incredible scenes, of a beauty hard to be captured, and great performances this picture will continue in your head for a long time.
"In a 2013 interview, director Ken Loach said that, upon its release, United Artists organised a screening of the film for some American executive and they said that they could understand Hungarian better than the dialect in the film."
The thought of anyone outside of the north let alone the UK trying out this film makes me chuckle.

Task #16 : A film from the British kitchen sink realism movement
The whole British kitchen sink realism movement is interesting. I learned about it just this last semester with the film Look Back in Anger. Kes is by far a better film to watch through this movement as it feels so stylistic in the the same way I feel about Bicycle Thieves. For such a simple and very small film, it packs a whole lot of emotions from these characters
He talks about bringing up a hawk and it's so wonderful, you couldn't imagine.

Going undercover at a slaughterhouse in an age of agribusiness gag laws
I eat meat. Always have. I've tried a couple of times to stop, but have never done more than cut back: I miss it too much.
Given its intimate connection to my body and my health, I'm interested in how meat is made. This seems natural enough in an age in which farmers and feedlots and meat companies fill animals with hormones and antibiotics, and grow animals in factories in order to maximize production.
But the producers of meat apparently worry that if we know how it's made we'll eat less of it. They make it all but impossible for journalists and members of the general public to visit production facilities, be they poultry plants, pork factories, or beef slaughterhouses. Animal-rights groups, dissatisfied with this secrecy, have made it their business to send operatives inside with hidden cameras, to devastating effect.
So I decided to find work in a beef slaughterhouse, an experience I write about in this month's issue of Harper's Magazine. Before I set out, I touched base with the Humane Society of the United States, PETA, and Mercy for Animals to learn about their investigations. I asked: How did you pick the farms or plants you went to? Had you heard complaints?
In each case, the answer was that they hadn't targeted anyplace in particular; they'd just gone where they thought they could get hired. "We have never found a facility where there wasn't abuse," Nathan Runkle, the founder of Mercy For Animals, told me. "Finding it is not the issue. Our challenge is just to have a camera there when it happens."
I thought I might gain a broader view by getting a job not simply as a company line worker but as a federal meat inspector. The Food Safety Inspection Service (FSIS) of the USDA oversees live slaughter, and it hires inspectors on the basis of either experience in the industry (often factory work, including quality control) or education, specifically a four-year college degree with sufficient math and science credits. After reviewing my transcript, the FSIS said I was short some credits, so I enrolled in a distance-learning math course at the University of Illinois, completed it five months later (B+!), and reapplied.
During the two years I waited to get a job, I watched with growing alarm the rise of so-called ag-gag laws. This class of laws, promoted by agribusiness in farm states, criminalizes the unauthorized recording of video or photographs inside a production facility. Their passage (in six states so far, with seven others considering them) has been accompanied by rhetoric denouncing the terrorism of "extremist vegans" who would destroy the industry. In other words, in lieu of cleaning its house, the meat industry has elected to kill the messenger.
Though recording video was not my goal, I was nevertheless concerned as a writer. Some of the laws go beyond video and photography: proposed legislation in Arkansas would have made it illegal for anyone but law-enforcement personnel to "collect evidence into alleged claims of criminal conduct involving an animal." (Whether such laws would be constitutional or enforceable remains to be seen.)
Nebraska, where I was finally hired in October 2012, is considering an ag-gag law but has not yet passed one, so my research was unaffected. But what about the next journalist? What about the next activist? With the underlying problems at slaughterhouses left unaddressed, undercover investigations won't stop, which means that before long some idealistic person will be charged with a felony and become a martyr to the cause of safe, humanely produced food. And that should very much focus meat-eating Americans on the question of what's so wrong with our food that the industry would promote draconian laws to keep its practices hidden from view.

i. stand with israel
I listen to a lot of conservative talk radio. Confident masculine voices telling me the enemy is everywhere and victory is near — I often find it affirming: there's a reason I don't think that way. Last spring, many right-wing commentators made much of a Bloomberg poll that asked Americans, "Are you more sympathetic to Netanyahu or Obama?" Republicans picked the Israeli prime minister over their own president, 67 to 16 percent. There was a lot of affected shock that things had come to this. Rush Limbaugh said of Netanyahu that he wished "we had this kind of forceful moral, ethical clarity leading our own country"; Mark Levin described him as "the leader of the free world." For a few days there I yelled quite a bit in my car.
The one conservative radio show I do find myself enjoying is hosted by Dennis Prager. At the Thanksgiving dinner of American radio personalities (Limbaugh is your jittery brother-in-law, Michael Savage is your racist uncle, Hugh Hewitt is Hugh Hewitt) Dennis Prager is the turkey-carving patriarch trying to keep the conversation moderately high-minded. While Prager obviously doesn't like liberals — "The gaps between the left and right on almost every issue that matters are in fact unbridgeable," he has said — he often invites them onto his show for debate, which is rare among right-wing hosts. Yet his gently exasperated take on the Obama–Netanyahu matchup was among the least charitable: "Those who do not confront evil resent those who do."
