Sport (UK) or sports (US) are all forms of usually competitive physical activity or games which, through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing entertainment to participants, and in some cases, spectators. Usually the contest or game is between two sides, each attempting to exceed the other. Some sports allow a tie game; others provide tie-breaking methods, to ensure one winner and one loser. A number of such two-sided contests may be arranged in a tournament producing a champion. Many sports leagues make an annual champion by arranging games in a regular sports season, followed in some cases by playoffs. Hundreds of sports exist, from those between single contestants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals. In certain sports such as racing, many contestants may compete, each against all with one winner.
Sport is generally recognised as activities which are based in physical athleticism or physical dexterity, with the largest major competitions such as the Olympic Games admitting only sports meeting this definition, and other organisations such as the Council of Europe using definitions precluding activities without a physical element from classification as sports. However, a number of competitive, but non-physical, activities claim recognition as mind sports. The International Olympic Committee (through ARISF) recognises both chess and bridge as bona fide sports, and SportAccord, the international sports federation association, recognises five non-physical sports, although limits the number of mind games which can be admitted as sports.

People who call themselves scientists are often a tad obsessive (far be it from me to say borderline autistic - as the boy scientists are always telling me, I'm not a scientists so I know nothing. But do scientists know anything or are they just deluded?
ōYouÆre mad,ö said the doctor.
ōIÆm not,ö the patient replied.
ōYouÆre mad and youÆre in denial,ö the doctor said triumphantly.
Its actually surprising how many doctors and scientists are in denial. Machiavelli has been involved in a tussle with the boy ¢ scientists of ōThe Bad Science Forum,ö over the Autism /MMR vaccine issue. They have accused me of saying things I have not said, questioned me and then responded to the answer they wanted me to give rather than the one I gave and even presumed to tell me what I can and cannot write on my blog. In short they are utterly in denial of the fact that I might be right. Once they accept that I might be right they can start to examine the facts scientifically and so will understand that I am right. Well I shall deal with the boy ¢ scientists, slashing them with OccamÆs razor another time. For now letÆs look at another group of scientists who draw their paycheque from the public coffers and are also in denial.
Most climatologists agree that unusual weather patters such as the recent floods are a consequence of climate change but there are a few who, like the boy scientists of Bad Science Forum, have turned the maxim ōcorrelation does not prove causationö into a mantra. Perhaps like religious zealots they believe if they chant it often enough something magical will happen. But when things occur in sequence while not actually proving they are linked, is a pretty good clue they might be. We pollute the atmosphere at an accelerating rate for 200 years, the mean atmospheric temperature rises and weather patterns change in exactly the way most intelligent scientists predicted they would.
But there are a few who still insist that because scientific evidence cannot prove beyond doubts climate change is responsible for the floods we should dismiss it as a possibility. Well science cannot prove there is a link but cannot prove there is not a link. Even if they use statistical trickery to ignore the mountain of evidence, their case is still tissue thin. OK there is no smoking gun but look at newsreel footage shot in any industrial city in the 1950s and count the smoking chimneys. Look at clips of traffic jams in the 1970s and count the smoking exhausts.
Then there are the red herrings. Scientists, particularly those who work for the government, for all their affectation of high minded detachment are better than Rick Stein at serving up red herrings.
ōThe current floods are not due to climate change, they are a simple anomaly in the weather. There were similar floods in 1947,ö one group has said. Well there were floods in 1947 but they were not similar. The floods then occurred in winter, when water tables and river levels are higher, when trees and plants are dormant and not taking up water. The 1947 flooods also happened when a thaw set in after the heaviest snowfall ever recorded. The whole of Britain had been blanketed in snow. It was a different scenario altogether.
The problem with the kind of scientists who refer to themselves as ōscientistsö is they tend to be nerdy, a tad obsessive and absolutely determined to eliminate from the equation anything that cannot be easily explained. This leads them to view a problem from too narrow a perspective and disregard the very obvious evidence that is all around them. In short they are the kind of people who need to get out more.
Look at the pictures of the floods. Think how early spring was this year. Think how long the leaves stayed on the trees last year. Something is going on.
Should we do something now or can we wait until ōscientistsö have argued about it for another fifty years?
Its not rocket science is it?
Scientists Are Cupid Stunts: Here's The Scientific Evidence
Scientists complaing Christmas Card illustrations are unscientific? They're having a laugh aren't they? Well no, scientists have no sense of humour, the cupid stunts are deadly serious ...
Footballers More Highly Valued Than Scientits - Scientists ComplainWe are used to scientists whingeing, oh they're so hard done by, they work long and hard at the task of extending human knowledge and are paid peanuts ('if you pay peanuts you end up hiring monkeys' goes an old business maxim. Now they are complaining immigration law values football more highly than science as footballers' work visas are priorities. Why not we ask, footballers entertain some people, scientists seem to spend all their time molesting mice. When you see (below) some of the work they turn in you might think as we do that if scientists are earning peanuts we're overpaying them...

US General Breedlove admits: NATO did foment war in Ukraine
Alternative media, the many thousands of amateur and semi - professional news and opinion websites such as this one were reporting as long ago as 2014 that the US / NATO / EU line on the revolution in Ukraine was a great big steaming pile of bullshit. We knew for example that the CIA had funded and organised the right wing extremist groups responsible for overthrowing the democratically elected (though admittedly corrupt) government.
Will 'President Trump' Mean The End Of NATO?
If Donald Trump is elected US president it will spell the end of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. At least, thatŌĆÖs how a phalanx of US foreign policy pundits and establishment figures see it. Trump once again caused uproar recently with comments that were viewed as undermining a ┬½cornerstone┬╗ of US foreign policy since the Second World War.
Migrant Sex Criminal: I Hate Sweden, IŌĆÖm Just Here to Fuck Swedish Girls
One of the victims of a man who allegedly raped sexually harassed four women in a small town in Sweden has told the local newspaper that he hates Sweden and is only there so that he can "fuck Swedish girls".

US Green Party Candidate Jill Stein Attacks Bernie Sanders For Selling Out To Neo - Con Establishment
Amid a wave of disgust at the way Bernie Sanders, who presented himself as the anti - establishment candidate, was cheated out of the nomination by a process the Democratic Party National Committee blatantly rigged in favour of Hillary Clinton, threatened to fight on to the bitter end but on the opening day of the Democrat's party convention lamely sold out by endorsing the fraudulent candidacy of the corrupt and allegedly treasonous Mrs. Clinton, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein says WikiLeaksŌĆÖ explosive release of Democratic National Committee emails prove the Democratic Party intentionally sabotaged Bernie SandersŌĆÖ campaign.
Leak from Gernamy's Bundeswehr Shows NATO Preparing For War With Russia
You will be blissfully unaware of this shocking news if you are the kind of person who relies on mainstream media for your information, but a dangerous alliance of Washington's neo-con / neo-lib hawks and the European Union's bureaucratic dictatorship are working flat out to convince Russia that NATO is preparing to attack. To be honest, I suspected for weeks something big was going on but my suspicions were only confirmed in the past few days.
Turkey Launches Purge Of People Who Claim Coup Was A Hoax

End Of An Era: The Collapse Of The Petrodollar System
In the years following World War Two, the U.S.A. was the worldŌĆÖs only exporter of crude oil and petroleum products. This freedom from international obligations supported the US economy, helped the US dollar emerge as the main reserve currency and gave the American government the independence to pursue its geopolitical goals without considering the effect on diplomatic relations with allies and rivals. Up to 1970 and a little beyond, the U.S.A. always maintained a trade balance with the rest of the world.
In September 2012 the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology (FCT) published the research of a team led by the French biologist Professor Gilles-Eric S├®ralini, which found liver and kidney toxicity and hormonal disturbances in rats fed MonsantoŌĆÖs GM maize NK603 and very small doses of the Roundup herbicide it is grown with, over a long-term period.

Welcome to The Greenteeth Defending Free Speech Catalogue
Events in recent years have shown us democracy is a sham. From the USA where big money owns the political system through the European Union where the bureaucrats of the European Commission in Brussels openly express contempt for the elected governments of member states and clearly state that the faux - democratic European Parliament is irrelevant, and the wishes of member states are not considered, it is up to the bureaucrats and experts to do what is right for Europe, WE THE PEOPLE are fighting a war like none we have fought before as the political, financial and academic elites try to disempower the masses. Only through our right of Free Speech can we expose the corruption and self interest at the heart of the system and hold to account the people who would create a global, authoritarian government.

You are missing many tricks if you put together a very sustainable tourism initiative and then don't get the benefits of marketing it sustainably
There is very little point in putting together a really sustainable tourism product (like one that minimizes emissions, maximises local community benefits and delivers an authentic life-changing experience) and then going off and marketing it in a brash unsustainable way.
As sustainability can deliver benefits to whatever you do, and is a mind set as much as a practice, you will massively increase your results and your credibility if you market your sustainable tourism offer in a sustainable manner to a sustainable market.
But it's got to be nose-to-tail holistic!
The key to sustainable marketing is that as you create your product you provide yourself with a multi-layered story, not a one-dimensional one - why? Because every single element of a sustainable tourism offer has its own authentic story - it hasn't just happened because it's cheap!
Sustainability also has a story in its tail - in other words, by creating a sustainable tourism offer, you are recognizing that there is a long chain of effects - economic effects, cultural effects, environmental effects and economic effects.
And it is this long chain of effects that both creates your story, emphasizes the quality and durability of your offer, creates your brand, identifies and qualifies your market, provides you with your marketing material and creates your marketing.
How? Because tourism has a very long, very deep, very complex value chain. Tourists travel by a variety of means, they stay in hotels that are in themselves purchasers of an enormous variety of consumables and use-ables and durables. Tourists eat a variety of foods, drink a variety of drinks, buy a variety of things and services in a variety of places on their travels. They affect the destination communities in a variety of ways - not only commercial.
Each tourism touch-point is also an opportunity to maximize both the actual value of the tourist's and the local's experience and an opportunity to maximize the perceived value of the tourism product.
So tourism is complex and multi-sectoral -it is therefore crammed full of opportunity for economic, social, cultural and environmental opportunities.
And every opportunity represents the potential to make life better for someone or somewhere plus the opportunity to make your offer more authentic and the opportunity both to market better and often to recruit more marketing partners.
One of tourism's key techniques is interpretation. Whether it's a building, a historic or natural beauty site, an object, a place, whatever - putting it in its historical and cultural context by telling its story is what adds value to tourism, as it does for anything worthwhile.
Food producers nowadays have often appreciated this value-adding attribute of interpretation. Quality food really appreciates in perceived value when its story is told. The origins of foods, where and when and by whom they are produced, and how - all add layers and layers of value and offer the opportunity to differentiate and personalize in markets that are becoming commoditized and wholly price-based.
And, of course, this process is exactly the same for tourism. The effect of mass tourism, chain hotels and low cost carriers combined with internet-based global distribution systems is to commoditize tourism and to make price the major differential.
Sustainable tourism can play profitably outside this game, create and market well-drawn travel offers and use their stories to market them.
Moreover, mass tourism is often a business model that is composed of protagonists rather than co-operators. The key participant n the value-chain (often a tour operator) manages the chain so that often the only value left accrues to that organization
A more sustainable model, emphasizing the authenticity of the elements and their situations can also create co-operative marketing models - getting more power behind the marketing and widening its scope.
The power of both tourism delivery and its marketing lies in the wealth of stories that describe it and entrance potential buyers. Sustainable tourism simply delivers more stories, better stories, healthier stories, much more entrancing stories.
Moreover these stories can be delivered, with effect and enthusiasm, and for benefit, by every member of the value chain, multiplying the sales and promotional potential and the opportunities for each participant enormously.
And making the whole process, simply, more sustainable.

First of all I do like the film, for a TV movie it's more than decent.
However I do take issue with the way the hessian "mercenaries" are
depicted, especially Washington's monologue on how he can't comprehend
men willing to help in the suppression of the American people merely to
make money. I don't know if that's an authentic quote and Washington
didn't know better, but the fact remains that those "mercenaries" were
conscripts from German principalities, especially Hessen-Kassel, whose
monarch Landgraf Friedrich II. financed his lavish court life imitating
that of Versaillles by selling his troops regiment-wise to the English.
While properly trained, none of these soldiers were mercenaries. They were mostly the sons of peasants and artisans that were pressed into service and sent overseas to fight for a foreign king in a hostile country. With the exception of a few high ranking officers who spoke french or English they were mostly unable to communicate with the locals. Later on however, as the hessians eventually got a better understanding of the conflict, more than a third of them deserted their regiments, joined the American forces and stayed after the end of the war. Also part of the American force that won the final victory over the British in Yorktown was an all-volunteer German regiment under the command of General von Steuben.
I loved that simple, not overloaded with special effects, straight and very honest movie. The American revolutionary war was full of great events and the Crossing of Delaware in 1776 is one of those. The filmmakers did a decent job by depicting the gruesome and tiresome movements to the battle, the battle itself and its aftermath. Jeff Daniels is one of my all-time favorite actors, and here he shines as General Washington. His part is convincing, deep, decent and very real to life, He is a man of flesh and blood and he does what any officer will do in his stead. The film is dark, it really manages to show the coldness of winter, the harsh conditions, the hunger and misery of the army before the battle. It does show the brutal naked reality of war with its cold-blood cynicism and simple strife for survival. This is a must see movie
Good movies covering the Revolutionary War are few and I'd be surprised how
many of any value are out there. I enjoyed the acting and excellent
representation of all the historical figures in "The Crossing".
I'm juxtaposed to the stand that one viewer represents because there is no way to sugarcoat war, pretend that brutality didn't exist, nor disguise any profanity with "oh piffles". All things considered, it wasn't at all anything like the way other wars were portrayed.
Just remember to turn the TV off when little ones are around, or video tape it so you can watch it when they are asleep. To create an historical slice of life and portray it in a whitewashed manner would be an injustice and totally inaccurate. Not to mention the incorrect perception that older youth will get as to what war is all about. That would be the biggest lie of all.
I'm giving "The Crossing" five stars on the merits of it telling an
important story, and the solid performances turned in by Roger Rees,
Sebastian Roche and a few others. But the film is seriously compromised
by three things.
First, it's an absolutely bog-standard Hollywood treatment of a historical event, pulling together every trope in the industry (and underscoring how you're supposed to feel with insistent mood music at every turn).
Second, although the Hessian troops were certainly worthy of concern, a far worse enemy was the weather. From all accounts, the weather that night was horrific -- practically a blizzard -- with snow, sleet, high winds and huge chunks of ice floating down the swiftly-moving Delaware River to contend with. In fact, the snow was falling so heavily and the winds were so strong that the Hessians at Trenton actually canceled guard duty for the night because they would be unable to see or hear anything more than a few feet in front of them! (And in reality, they weren't drunk or hung-over; they were exhausted from not sleeping because they did indeed expect the Continental Army to attack; deserters had tipped them off that Washington was planning to attack, but no one knew when.) Does the film reflect this godawful weather? Nope, it has characters saying that they're cold, there's some rain, and (in one scene) there's a dusting of snow on the grass. That's it. The river is placid, winds are calm, there's no snow or ice floes. Absurd! Could the studio really not afford to give us some fake snow or styrofoam "ice floes"?!
But the worst thing about "The Crossing" is Jeff Daniels' depiction of Washington. To begin with, the script portrays Washington unlike reality. For example, when General Rall asks to surrender his sword directly to Washington, Washington refuses to accept it and wants to send a subordinate in his place. His aide tells him that he must go and accept it, as that's part of the honor code of officers. Newsflash to the filmmakers: George Washington was an officer in the British Army long before he was a revolutionary; he certainly would've known the proper protocol for surrendering. Indeed, there is no historical basis for this part of the film; it seems to have been invented out of whole cloth.
Even worse is Daniels' evocation of Washington's character, which runs contrary to every contemporary account from his friends, which show him as a man impossible to anger -- circumspect, taciturn and reserved; a man who preferred to talk as little as he could get away with, and when he did, he used neutral and carefully-chosen words. Daniels mischaracterizes Washintgon's temperament and manner of speech, and he also brings none of the necessary gravitas to the role. Washington may have been a man of few words, but he also cut a very imposing figure in his bearing. Daniels' Washington appears as a rather small man with a bad temperament, and no amount Daniels' grimacing or attempts to chew the scenery can make up for it. On those grounds, "The Crossing" is, unfortunately, a failure.
While I was struck by how powerful of a moment in history this was, I'd
have to downgrade my rating due to a couple of things. The graphic
nature of some of the violence was perhaps more than necessary;
however, what disturbed me most was the out-of-character tolerance of
profanity among the men and worse than that, his own use of profanity.
On August 3rd, 1776, General George Washington was so distressed by the use of swearing and cursing among his men that he issued the following order to all of his troops: "The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish, and wicked practice, of profane cursing and swearing (a Vice heretofore little known in an American Army) is growing into fashion; he hopes the officers will, by example, as well as influence, endeavour to check it, and that both they, and the men will reflect, that we can have little hopes of the blessing of Heaven on our Arms, if we insult it by our impiety, and folly; added to this, it is a vice so mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense, and character, detests and despises it."
A great injustice has been done by portraying George Washington's character in a manner that is far less than he really was. I have not idealized him either, but know that some aspects of how he has been characterized are not accurate. How much more rich it would have been to have included such a quote in this movie, but do the producers see that this wouldn't be entertaining enough or maybe they shaped his character more so according to what they thought he must have been like? Why not seek to dig deeper to bring challenge for those today to consider the character of a man that is rarely seen in Washington today? What a lost opportunity to have made this movie of an unsurpassed quality.
Read for yourselves about the real George Washington and be careful not to succumb to Hollywood's depiction.
I saw The Crossing about 4 months ago in History class, since we were
studying about the Revolutionary War and about George Washington
crossing the Delaware river. I was surprised of how accurate it was. I
mean almost everything in it was the truth. The performances were
really good and Jeff Daniels played a great role as George Washington.
Overall, a good little film or TV show that was very entertaining. If
you also like violence in films, you will be sure to like this one
because there are enough violence to look at but I guess if you don't
really like violence, then I don't think this is a film to see. I
recommend it to a lot of people.
Hedeen's Outlook: 8/10 *** B
I usually don't like history movies, however, this film showed me a different side of history that I enjoyed to learn about. There are plenty of satirical remarks that keeps the movie a little less conservative. However, if you do not like blood or gore, there is a little bit of gruesome tone to certain parts of this film. There is also some inappropriate language so it is not recommended for small students. I enjoyed the movie and recommend it to anyone who likes or even dislikes History movies. My congratulations to the entire cast and crew who made this film what it is!
This movie is a great blood and guts war flick as well as a good historical drama. The director creates a realistic setting at the original location, Trenton, NJ. The movie explores difficulties Washington overcame to keep the Revolutionary Army together. There is some graphic violence, however, it is brief. A movie that you can enjoy if you watch it ten times over.
This was a long overdue film as there has been so little done on the Revolutionary War. I learned from it and hail the educational value involved in the events. However, I find it most unfortunate that it contains highly offensive language as well as close-up scenes of graphic bloody violence. I am reasonably certain that many young students were watching this on advice from teachers and parents, only to have it turned off by a great many responsible adults because of these objections I have mentioned. Otherwise, it was very well done.
I quite enjoyed 'The Crossing'. Jeff Daniels is a world away from his
character in 'Dumb & Dumber', playing the future 1st President of the USA.
He gives Washington a stolid, taciturn manner, which is offset in some
moments by needed levity (to boost the morale of his men). I admired the way
Washington would give up at nothing to secure some sort of victory for what
was left of his army. He was desperate, yes, but didn't lose his dignity. I
found the rest of the acting uniformly good -- the brief part by Sebastien
LaRoche (did I get that name right?) was perfectly done.
My only beef -- and don't get me wrong is that this movie about a famous event in American history was filmed in TORONTO, ONTARIO! I had a feeling the cast was mainly Canadian when I saw a few familiar faces. I mean, the filmmakers saved some $ by filming up here, but the power of the story was nullified somewhat by finding out about the film location.
Overall, though, a good movie and recommended for history buffs.

Vital Reggaetón Comp's Inevitable Sophomore Slump
Reggaetón compilations by superstar producers like Luny Tunes abound, but 2004's Chosen Few stood out from the pack. Produced by Long Island's Boy Wonder, it lined up the top players from Puerto Rico's burgeoning reggaetón scene with their Latin hip-hop counterparts in New York City, even siring a crossover hit with the deliciously contagious Spanglish of "Reggaetón Latino." So what's new for this unavoidable sequel? Unfortunately not very much. The dembow beats are still tight, but with 29 tracks and more than 50 featured artists vying for your attention, the collection feels a little disjointed and bloated. There are some gems to be found, though: "Real Latina," by Bronx reggaetón poet La Bruja and famed Spaniard rapper La Mala Rodriguez, glides by with jagged beats and taunting lyrics that mimic the harsh realities of a life spent lost in the barrio. And Miami's Pitbull brings the fun back to the party by innovatively mixing reggaetón with Southern crunk in the bouncefest "Una Mano Lava la Otra." However, "No Es lo Mismo" by Spain's top pop balladeer, Alejandro Sanz, sounds completely out of place in a collection devoted to reggaetón, and you can't help but sense that this time around Boy Wonder is just trying a little too hard to get back to Crossover Land.

[Balfour] Douglas Zohrab
Early diplomatic recruit served 26 years overseas
Relevant offers
[Balfour] Douglas Zohrab, diplomat: Born Wellington, July 14, 1917; married 1947 Rosemary Miller (died 1989) 2 sons; died Waikanae, June 1, 2008, aged 90.
Doug Zohrab, of Waikanae, was a distinguished New Zealand diplomat, and one of its first.
He was in the early crop of bright young recruits to the Department of External Affairs during the final stages of World War II.
In 1944, Mr Zohrab was handily placed. The notion that Whitehall wallahs should determine the conduct of New Zealand foreign policy was slowly being replaced by the view that external relations were best left to New Zealanders.
Mr Zohrab had been invalided home from the Middle East, where he had been a cypher clerk on General Freyberg's staff. Back in Wellington in 1944, he was appointed principal private secretary to the minister of rehabilitation.
It was not long before he came to the notice of Alister McIntosh, who in 1943 had been appointed secretary to the War Cabinet.
Mr McIntosh was on the lookout for diplomatic recruits, tapped Mr Zohrab and had him shifted into the Prime Minister's Department in 1944, where a small number of desks were reserved for external affairs.
By the time he retired in 1974, Mr Zohrab had spent 26 years in New Zealand service overseas.
His credentials were firstrate. He was a graduate of Victoria University College with a new masters degree in 1937 when he became an assistant librarian at the General Assembly Library. He was a diligent graduate with writing skills polished during 3 1/2 years as a copyholder and junior reporter at The Evening Post from 1934.
Mr Zohrab had another attribute – he could speak and write French with a facility that was rare among his peers. That talent for languages would make him additionally valuable in his diplomatic career. He became fluent in some of the romance languages and others besides, including Russian, in which he was largely self-taught.
His first role overseas in 1946 was as information officer at the high commission in London. Getting there was not easy, and he had an additional job on his plate. He had been assigned as secretary to Attorney-General Rex Mason, one of New Zealand's delegates to the Paris Peace Conference in 1946.
Mr Mason, an abstemious theosophist, could not speak French, and his personal translator, Mr Zohrab, was nowhere to be found at the opening session.
In fact, he was nearly three weeks late arriving in Paris. The Lancastrian aircraft in which he was a passenger broke down seemingly whenever it reached cruising altitude.
In Australia, the plane was abandoned by senior members of the New Zealand party, leaving Mr Zohrab and fellow linguist and translator Lyn Corner to wait till the aircraft's health was restored. Its unreliability meant frequent stops for repairs and a zigzag route to Europe.
Mr Zohrab's peace conference and London assignments were the beginning of an 11-year spell overseas. After London, he was second secretary at the Moscow Legation from 1948 till its closure in 1950; second secretary at the Paris Legation from 1951 till 1954, when he was made first secretary on the resignation of Paddy Costello after the Kroger passport affair. He spent three years with a desk job in Wellington from 1956 to 1959 before a posting to Tokyo.
In 1961, he was appointed permanent representative to the European office of the United Nations in Geneva. After a two- year term as assistant secretary in Wellington, he served from 1967 to 1969 as New Zealand high commissioner in Malaysia, transferring to Bonn as New Zealand ambassador to the Federal Republic of Germany with concurrent accreditation to Austria.
After the establishment of a resident New Zealand embassy in Vienna, he was accredited concurrently as ambassador to Switzerland and Poland.
Doug Zohrab was the epitome of a diligent and professional public servant. The first ambassador to France, Joseph Vivian Wilson, said Mr Zohrab spoke French with "indecent proficiency". He was musically gifted. He played the piano with considerable skill, and took great pleasure in the listening, preferring Mozart to Beethoven who, he said, was guilty of giving way to romanticism.
He was ebullient and very funny at times when his diplomatic reserve could be set aside for social lubrication.
The Zohrab family was part of a large community of Armenians forcibly moved to the Persian capital in the early 17th century to help stimulate the economy of the Persian empire. Several of the family fled political upheavals and massacres in Persia at the end of the late 18th century.
The New Zealand Zohrabs were from a branch which became British in Malta, and arrived in New Zealand after first settling in England, then in South Africa and later in Australia.
Mr Zohrab was a credit to New Zealand, and to himself, though his natural modesty would have precluded him accepting any such accolade. His wife predeceased him; he is survived by two sons.
