John Thurso: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if he will list the funding for the Health and Safety Executive in (a) 200304 and (b) each of the last three years, broken down by region. [124525]
Mr. Browne: The table reflects the funding for the Health and Safety Executive in each year since 200001.
|Budget1 (£ million)
John Thurso: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many health and safety inspectors there are in (a) England, (b) Scotland and (c) Wales, and how many there were in each year since 1998. [124526]
Mr. Browne: I refer the hon. Member to the written answer my right hon. Friend the Member for Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, East and Wallsend (Mr. Brown) gave on 7 March 2003, Official Report, column 1269W.
Tom Cox: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions (1) how many health and safety inspectors are employed by his Department; and how many were employed in each of the last five years; [112712]
(2) how many health and safety inspectors there are in England and Wales; and how many there were in (a) 2000, (b) 2001 and (c) 2002. [118555]
Mr. Browne:
The Department for Work and Pensions does not employ Health and Safety Inspectors. However, since 2002 it has been responsible for sponsoring the Health and Safety Executive (HSE); the
17 Jul 2003 : Column 542W
number of Heath and Safety Inspectors employed by HSE in each of the last five years is given in the following table.

Mr. David Marshall: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if he will make a statement on progress towards reform of the housing benefit system. [126587]
Mr. Pond: Our overall strategy for reforming housing benefit is to improve administration, promote choice and responsibility, enhance work incentives and reduce levels of fraud and error in the system.
We are abolishing the need to automatically reclaim housing benefit after a set period, and in October we launched Rapid Reclaim for Housing Benefit. This has removed barriers to taking and declaring work by reducing concerns about the delays in reclaiming benefits if a job does not last.
And in his most recent Budget statement, my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer reaffirmed our commitment to reform housing benefit. He announced new measures to apply the 30-hour disregard in housing benefit and council tax benefit to those working between 16 and 29 hours per week; to change the hospital downrating rules so that there will be no reduction in benefit for those in hospital for up to 52 weeks; and to extend the housing benefit run-on to people receiving incapacity benefit and severe disablement allowance.
The Standard Local Housing Allowance is a further, radical step forward in the simplification of housing benefit, which we will test out in 10 pathfinder local authorities from October 2003.
Chris Ruane: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions if he will list the 200 wards with the highest percentage of adults claiming incapacity benefit in (a) the UK and (b) Wales. [126103]
Maria Eagle: The information has been placed in the library.
John Barrett: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how much was claimed in income support in Scotland in 200203, broken down by local authority area. [126849]
Mr. Pond:
Income support gross benefit expenditure in Scotland for 200203 was £1,521,323,469.27. This figure is not available broken down by local authority area but is available by district and local office, and this information has placed in the Library.
17 Jul 2003 : Column 543W
Mr. Webb: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions for what reason the Plain English Campaign's Crystal Mark does not apply to the section on collecting and using information on page 6 of the Information about Pension Credit leaflet, ref. PC1N 04/03. [126751]
Malcolm Wicks: The section in question derives from the requirements of the Fair Processing Code of the Data Protection Act 1998 and is common to a number of the Department's forms and leaflets. Minor changes to the original wording suggested by the Plain English Campaign were not considered to be consistent with its intended meaning.
Mr. Flight: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many outsourced IT contracts have been signed by his Department in each year since 1997; how much each of these contracts is worth; with whom they are signed; how many have been renegotiated; how many are still in place; and if he will make a statement. [126196]
Maria Eagle: The question covers periods prior to the establishment of the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in June 2001. This reply therefore relates to outsourced IT contracts signed by the former Employment Service and the former Department for Social Security, both of whom had made their own contractual arrangements prior to merging to form DWP. No further outsourced IT contracts have been signed since the formation of DWP.
IT Partnership Agreement: On 1 August 1998, the Employment Service outsourced its IT work in a contract with Electronic Data Systems. In October 2000, the agreement was revised to reflect major new investment in IT and telephony to improve services for jobless people and employers in the Modernising Employment Service (MES) Project.
Strategic Outsourcing Business Allocation (SOBA): On 1 September 2000, the Department of Social Security outsourced the provision of its IT design, development, delivery functions and operations to Electronic Data Systems, as prime contractor of the Affinity consortium.
Both contracts are still in place.
The value of these contracts is commercial in confidence and is not disclosed in line with paragraph 13, Part 2 of the Code of Practice on Access to Government Information.
The Department for Work and Pensions continuously seeks to ensure that both contracts meet the future needs of the Department.
Dr. Pugh: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how much he spent on IT (a) maintenance, (b) licences, (c) software and (d) hardware in the last financial year. [125718]
Mr. Browne:
In 200203, the Department spent £103 million on IT maintenance, although this figure does not include any local service agreements that may have
17 Jul 2003 : Column 544W
been negotiated outside the central contracts. £4 million was spent on software licences and £142 million was spent on hardware, mostly in connection with the provision of new desktop IT equipment in the Department. Software costs are often not separately identified from the hardware to which they relate.
The above information does not include costs of licenses, software and hardware where these are provided via PFI/PPP service contracts. In these circumstances, the costs form part of the service charge and are not separately identified.

Filling the gap between Requirements Engineering and Public
Key/Trust Management Infrastructures.
In: 1st European PKI Workshop: Research and Applications (1st EuroPKI), 25-26 June 2004, Samos island, Greece.
The last years have seen a major interest in designing and deploying trust management and public key infrastructures. Yet, it is still far from clear how one can pass from the organization and system requirements to the actual credentials and attribution of permissions in the PKI infrastructure.
Our goal in this paper is filling this gap. We propose a formal framework for modeling and analyzing security and trust requirements, that extends the Tropos methodology for early requirements modeling. The key intuition that underlies our work is the identification of distinct roles for actors that manipulate resources, accomplish goals or execute tasks, and actors that own or permit usage of resources or goals. The paper also presents a simple case study and a PKI/trust management implementation.

How long before we see chlorhexidine resistance?.
what exactly was in the "non-antibacterial" wipe? Was it just a wet wipe like the kind you get at rib restaurants? I wonder if there has been any studies that compare these pharma-soaps with plain old soap and water..
Tim Barrus
I note that when any of the HIV boys I work with are hospitalized for whatever reason, not one of them has ever been allowed to shower or bathe. This is a modern hospital with many surgical specialties. I note that the use of an intravenous Fentanyl pump seems to close the deal. If you get the pump, you will never shower (in fact, you will never see a bathroom), and not one of these boys has ever been bathed. Fungal infections are often severe when they get home. The first thing they want to do when they get home is bathe because they feel so filthy. I also note that when anyone's white socks touch the floor, the bottoms of the socks turn black. Hospitals are filthy places. No one wants to do the work of dealing with the intravenous pump so the kid can get into the bathroom. Typically, they end up with rectal bleeding because the fungal infections just get worse. Instead of simply throwing antibiotics or something like Miconazole at them, we simply combine those meds with twice daily bathing, and it seems to help even when a kid's CD4 is quite low. We try our best to get the kid out of the hospital ASAP. I know nursing staff is busy. But something like the intravenous Fentanyl pump should not be an obstacle to helping the kid be clean..
What happens to the normal protective flora and fauna of the healthy skin of these patients?.
Aslam Parvez
In my opinion,Chlorhexidine should be compared with ordinary soaps containing carbolic acid or ordinary acetic acid.low concentration of acetic acid is also a cost effective and good for resistant strain of all kind of bacteria.
BLong RN
If I am reading this correctly, it appears the chlorhexidine made a significant difference for VRE but was NOT significant for MRSA. However, when combined, statistically the reduction of both VRE and MRSA was significant. It would be interesting to speculate on this difference! "Among those treated with the non-antibacterial wash, there were 165 new cases of MRSA or VRE versus 127 among those washed with chlorhexidine, for a rate of 6.10 [should read 6.60] versus 5.10 per 1,000 patient- days (P=0.03). Additionally, patients treated with the chlorhexidine wash showed a trend toward a lower overall rate of VRE acquisition, 3.21 versus 4.28 in the control group (both per 1,000 patient-days, P=0.05). There was a nonsignificant difference in the rate of MRSA acquisition between chlorhexidine and non-antibacterial groups during that period (1.89 versus 2.32 cases per 1,000 patient-days, respectively, P=0.29).".
Dr. Jacob R. Raitt
Although rare, I must note here that I am a reactor to chlorhexidine, and although I wear the necklace, and I carry the card, my allergy has been overlooked by hospital staff. Instead of having an in-and-out procedure, I spent two weeks hospitalized, and had to endure debridement on my legs and feet..

Subject: Re: [nz] taranaki land records
Date: Mon, 05 May 2014 01:38:49 +1200
References: <1D3C86F5C9D14037B85D3C6648693C19@chandlerPC><3C5429AC5E1E4FE1830F4E64C8AE10B1@user>
In-Reply-To: <3C5429AC5E1E4FE1830F4E64C8AE10B1@user>
Actually, lots of the old deeds registers and indexes at LINZ offices around
NZ have been transferred to or will be transferred to Archives NZ offices.
As far as I know, that's the plan for all of them eventually. I don't know
about progress with the ones for Taranaki.
For example we used to access the old Canterbury land indexes and registers
at the former Lands & Survey office in Worcester Street Christchurch, then
later, after the deeds and mapping sections of L & S were separated (these
days they are LINZ and Terralink), they were housed in a dedicated old
deeds room at the LINZ office on the third floor of Torrens House in Cashel
Street. Westland land records were held in Hokitika, Nelson land records in
Nelson, and Marlborough land records in Blenheim.
Then a few years ago the Westland, Nelson and Marlborough registers were
brought to Christchurch and housed beside the Canterbury registers in the
old deeds room at Torrens House.
Now all those registers have been transferred to Archives NZ in Peterborough
Street, Christchurch.
The good news is that the Canterbury land indexes have been scanned by
Archives NZ and put online at Archway. The bad news is that deeds
themselves haven't been scanned, you have to view those at the Archives NZ
office in Peterborough Street.
It's a clunky process to go through the old deeds indexes online. It is
actually much easier to do it in person with the actual registers. Provided
you can get your head around the old deeds system that is. It will take a
newbie a day just to start getting used to them. And the registers are
usually VERY BIG and VERY HEAVY volumes.
For the uninitiated:
There are various ways of getting at the desired land in the Canterbury
1. Land registers - If you have a description of the section (eg from the
NZ Freeholders' Index) then you can look in the several land register
volumes. the "A" register is Christchurch (within the four main avenues),
The "C" registers are for rural sections outside Chch, and other registers
are for other parts of canterbury (eg Timaru, Waimate, etc) which have their
own letters. There are further subdivision registers, eg C/S 1, C/S 2,
C/S 3, and so forth. The relevant page will show all the transactions
concerning that section over the years.
For example if you are looking for section C3578 then you look in the C
registers for number 3578 - funnily enough they are in numerical order :))
2. Nominal registers - several volumes - checking these for a person's name
will give you numbers from the primary index to check. Doesn't necessarily
have both parties to a transaction though, so you might not be able to find
someone or the whole of their properties for that reason. The entries can
refer to more than just land - could be mortgages for example
3. Primary index - several volumes - transactions were recorded in these as
they were brought in for registration, and assigned a unique number - can
check the primary index volumes page by page looking down both of parties
columns looking for your party. A tedious process but a thorough one. Or
if you have found relevant numbers via the nominal indexes than of course
you can go straight to that number in the primary index. Funnily enough
they are in numerical order.
All sorts of transactions were recorded - deeds, leases, mortgages,
conveyances, whatever. Be aware that a deed may be registered well after it
was made, sometime years afterward.
4. Wills index - if land transactions involved a will then these deeds were
indexed in wills registers.
5. BDM index registers - sometimes details of deaths and marriages etc were
part of the deed because they were important evidence for the transaction.
Unlike the official NZ BDMs they don't cost.
What you will end up with is various informations about a transaction, eg a
description of the land involved (which you can use to find the section in
the land registers) and references to further indexes or deeds. eg 22D154
or 22/154 will mean look at folio (page) number 154 in deeds register number
22 for the transaction. An actual deed in a register will probably have an
annotation as to where to find the next deed in the series.
The deeds themselves are what you want to get at mostly, but the land
indexes and primary index provide a bigger picture and lead you to other
deeds concerning the section in question. Each deed has a plan of the
section in it. There are often valuable genealogical hints about parties in
deeds which makes them worth finding for that reason alone.

Those old land records have for many years been at LINZ in Hamilton.I may
stand corrected, I have heard that they are no longer available to the
public. If so, you will need to have staff search for you. No doubt they
will charge. NZSG may be able to help you with t hat aswell.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Older, charming. Excellent people working there. Very proud and informative. Could easily become an all around 5 star resort. Would like to return... Beds are very hard. Many areas in need of maintenance or repairs. The undesirable things I've seen, in my opinion, are due to understaffing.
The buffet breakfast, facilities, rooms, location were all very nice The only drawback was the ocean (lagoon) was not clean. If you enjoy swimming in the ocean, I wouldn't recommend the hotels in the center of Barra either as the beaches slope steeply.
Our second time visiting Grand Bay Hotel, although it appears Wyndham owns it now, the sign still says Grand Bay. The staff and the architecture are the best things about the hotel. The pools are cool, which is welcome in January/early February when we visited. I agree that they are likely somewhat understaffed as it can take time to get a beverage around the pool. Most of the really good restaurants over in Barra are the same, though, very leisurely service wth very good food. They strive to please at the hotel. Water taxi service to Barra and the Marina at Isla de Navidad runs constantly and is always a pleasant little adventure. It doesn't bother me, but this is not like other coastal communities with a nice beach, the alternatives to use kayaks, jet skis and other water toys makes up for it. We took jet skis to Melaque on a previous trip.

Les Miles and his wife Kathy joined Gov. Bobby Jindal at his re-election party Saturday night after the Auburn game.
Don't know if Miles harbors any political aspirations after his football coaching days, but if Jindal ever fulfills his burning ambition to be president he should make Miles his head of FEMA.
From a football perspective, there have been few better at managing potential disasters and overcoming seemingly long odds.
As Miles' first season at LSU began, Louisiana was slammed by twin sisters of destruction, Katrina and Rita. Miles had players from both ends of south Louisiana and southeast Texas unable to get in touch with family, or had family members stuffed into their off-campus apartments after the storms. That season, LSU would play in the Southeastern Conference Championship Game, wind up 11-2 and ranked No. 5.
This season, LSU has dealt with stormy weather of its own making. Three offensive starters (two suspended, one out with a knee injury) missed the season opener against No. 3-ranked Oregon. Three key players (two starters, one top reserve) missed Saturday's game against reigning BCS champion Auburn.
Miles' Tigers didn't survive in both instances, they thrived. Jarrett Lee and a lean, lithe defense neutralized Oregon's speed and took advantage of its mistakes in a 40-27 victory. Against Auburn, Kenny Hillard played the role of Spencer Ware, Ron Brooks did his best Tyrann Mathieu with a pick six and LSU demolished Auburn 45-10.
Tuesday came Miles' announcement that three key players — All-American candidate Mathieu at cornerback, leading rusher Ware and backup corner Tharold Simon — are all back off their one-game suspension … or whatever it was.
Miles refused to call it a suspension, saying the three were held out. He also held back from saying officially, finally, absolutely that all three have completely come in from the disciplinary cold and face no further hurdles.
But it's all semantics. Miles wouldn't say he anticipates the three will play in No. 1-ranked LSU's showdown with No. 2 Alabama if he weren't 100 percent certain they would. Here's something else you can be sure about: Miles knew he could beat Auburn without Messrs. Mathieu, Ware and Simon, but he knows just as well he needs every able-bodied man to slay the red elephant.
I don't want to say Miles manipulated the entire episode, but it couldn't have worked out better for him and his Tigers if he had. Three prominent players are made an example of — "a real lifetime lesson" as Miles called it — yet LSU carries on without a blip.
Now if center P.J. Lonergan and defensive end Ken Adams (both held out of the Auburn game for injuries) can be as healthy as Miles indicated they will be, LSU probably couldn't hope to be at more of a physical peak than it will be going into the Alabama game.
Once again, Miles finds a way to mitigate the damage.
FEMA should do it so well.

Pakistan operates a mixed economy in which the state-owned enterprises (including industrial corporations, trading houses, banks, insurance companies, institutions of higher learning, medical schools and hospitals, and transport companies) account for nearly half of the gross national product (GNP). In addition, the state, with the help of an intricate system of industrial licensing and trade regulations, controls new private investments. The state also has at its disposal labour, health, and tax laws to oversee the functioning of the private sector. The balance between the public and private sectors of the economy was altered in favour of the former in 1972–74 as a result of a series of nationalization measures. Until then, and unlike most other developing countries, Pakistan had regarded the private sector as the leading sector of the economy.
The economy, which was primarily agricultural at the time of independence, is now considerably diversified. Agriculture, although still the largest sector, now contributes less than one-fourth of the GNP, while manufacturing provides almost one-fifth. In terms of the structure of its economy, Pakistan resembles the middle-income countries of East and Southeast Asia more than the poor nations of the Indian subcontinent. Economic performance compares favourably with that of many other developing countries; the GNP has increased at an average rate of more than 5 percent a year since independence. At the same time, there has been a relentless increase in population, so that, despite a real growth in the economy, output per capita has risen slowly. By 1990 Pakistan's economy was four times as large as it was at the time of independence in 1947, its population was three and a half times as large, and its per capita income was twice as large. In general, although the GNP per capita is relatively low, Pakistan does not have a high incidence of absolute poverty (the level below which a minimally adequate diet and other essential requirements are not affordable); the proportion of the population living in absolute poverty is considerably smaller than in other South Asian countries. The relative prosperity of the industrialized regions around Karāchi and Lahore contrasts sharply with the poverty of the Punjab's bārānī areas, the semiarid Balochistān, and the North-West Frontier Province.
One of the paradoxes of Pakistan's economic situation is that, in spite of a healthy increase in its GNP and in spite of its success in alleviating the worst forms of poverty, it has continued to experience a very low level of social development. The social status of Pakistani women is particularly low. The country has a high rate of infant mortality, losing before they reach one year of age more than 100 children out of every 1,000 born; its maternal mortality rate, at 6 per 1,000 live births, is among the highest in the world; the rate of literacy, with only one of every seven women able to read and write, is very low compared to that of other developing countries.
A system of medium-term planning was introduced in 1958 with the belated publication of the first five-year plan (1955–60). In the following decades a series of five-year plans were formulated, but these met with varying degrees of success.
During the 1980s a movement toward an "Islāmic economy" was announced by the Pakistani government. This movement involved the purging of economic practices outlawed by Muslim theology, such as riba (interest), and the mandatory reinstatement of the zakat (an annual tax on several types of personal financial assets that is used to provide aid for the poor) and the ushr (the zakat on land), which had not been universally adhered to but remained central tenets of Islāmic law. General Zia had promised further Islāmization of the economy, but he died before these steps could be taken. Under Benazir Bhutto, his successor, the Islāmization movement slowed, although the government was obliged to keep on the books most of the legislation enacted during the Zia period.
Taxation accounts for more than three-quarters of government revenue, and government expenditures exceed revenues by a large amount. Income tax rates have been comparatively high, but the tax base has been so small that individual and corporate income tax revenues have remained substantially less than excise, sales, and other indirect taxes. The government has been able to maintain heavy expenditure on development and defense because of the inflow of foreign aid and the remittances sent by Pakistanis working abroad. In the 1970s and '80s external capital inflows were equivalent to as much as one-tenth of the GNP and financed well over half of the total domestic investment. In allowing this dependence on foreign capital to persist, however, the country has accumulated an enormous foreign debt, the financing of which has been a major problem.
The trade union movement dates to the late 19th century, but, because Pakistan's industrial sector (inherited at independence) was so small, organized labour as a proportion of total employment is still in a minority. This has not prevented it from becoming an important political force. Before the 1971 civil war, there were well over 1,000 registered unions, most of them organized within individual establishments. Countrywide unions based on a common craft or industry were very few. Most of the unions were situated in the urban centres and were affiliated to one of three national labour confederations. After the civil war and the emergence of Bangladesh, the number of unions declined to a few hundred, affiliated to one umbrella organization, the Pakistan National Federation of Trade Unions. Because of the high rates of unemployment, employers remained in a strong position, and many of them were able to bypass working agreements and laws. Only the unions in the bigger industries (e.g., cotton textiles) had the necessary coherence to fight back. Labour laws introduced in 1972 met some of the demands (job security, social welfare, pensions) of organized labour but also sought to control political activity by industrial workers. Labour union activity was severely constrained by the military government of 1977–88 but was revived by the administration of Benazir Bhutto.
The exploration of Pakistan's mineral wealth is far from complete, but more than 20 different types of minerals have been located. Coal mining is one of the country's oldest industries. The quality of the coal is poor, and the mines work below capacity because of the lack of demand. Iron ore deposits are also mostly of poor quality. The most extensive known reserves are situated in the Kālābāgh region in western Punjab. Other low-grade ore reserves have been found in Hazāra in the North-West Frontier Province. Small reserves of high-grade iron ore have been identified in Chitrāl and in the Chilghāzi area (located in northwestern Balochistān), also in the North-West Frontier Province. Deposits of copper ore, equaling or surpassing the reserves of iron ore, have been located, but most sites remain unexploited. There are enormous reserves of easily exploited limestone that form the basis of a growing cement industry, the largest component of the manufacturing sector. Other minerals that are exploited include chromite (mostly for export), barite (a white, yellow, or colourless mineral resembling marble), celestite celestine (strontium sulfate), antimony, aragonite (a mineral resembling calcite [calcium carbonate]), gypsum, rock salt, and marble. Radioactive minerals have been found in southwestern Punjab.
Pakistan also has small quantities of oil and some very large natural gas fields. The first oil discovery was made in 1915. Pakistan intensified the search for oil and natural gas in the 1980s and was rewarded with the discovery of a number of new oil fields in the Potwar Plateau region and in Sindh. The oil fields near Badīn, in Sindh, are particularly promising. Oil fulfills a substantial portion of Pakistan's energy requirements, and the search for new and richer fields has continued. The largest natural gas deposits are at Sūi (on the border between Balochistān and the Punjab), discovered in 1953. A smaller field, at Māri, in the northeast of Sindh province, was found in 1957. A number of smaller natural gas fields were discovered in the 1980s. A network of gas pipelines links the fields with the main consumption areas: Karāchi, Lahore, Multān, Faisalābād (Lyallpur), and Islāmābād.
The variety of climates and soils has given rise to a wide diversity in biological resources. As Balochistān is mostly desert, only in the small areas of intensive cultivation do crops and orchards thrive. In Sindh and Punjab, where the annual rainfall is also low, most of the vegetation is basically xerophilous, except for the riverine forests along the Indus and its tributaries. Parts of the coastal region have mangrove forests. Regular rain and snow in the Himalayan foothills of the north have given them a variety of vegetation and animal life ranging from the Mediterranean to the Alpine types. There is a fishing industry centred in Karāchi, and part of the lobster and other shellfish catch is exported.
Although energy production has grown faster than the economy as a whole, it has not kept pace with demand, and as a result there are shortages of fuel and electric power. Great progress, however, has been made in the development of the hydroelectric potential of Pakistan's rivers. A giant hydroelectric plant is in operation at the Mangla Dam on the Jhelum River in Azad Kashmir (the part of the disputed states of Jammu and Kashmir under Pakistan's control). Another such source is the giant Tarbela Dam on the Indus River.
The generation, transmission, and distribution of power is the responsibility of the Pakistani Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA), a public-sector corporation. WAPDA lost its monopoly over generation after Pakistan signed an agreement in 1989 with a consortium of foreign firms to produce power from giant oil-fired plants to be located at Hub, near Karāchi. The majority of Pakistan's energy requirements are now fulfilled by oil, mostly imported, and by natural gas. Nuclear power provides a very small percentage of the total energy used; it is supplied primarily to Karāchi. In 1989 Pakistan concluded agreements with China and France to set up additional nuclear power-generating plants. These reactors are to be located inland on the Indus River to serve the rapidly increasing demand of Punjab.
Agriculture, forestry, and fishing provide employment for at least one-half of the official labour force and a livelihood for an even larger proportion of the population. Land-reform programs implemented in 1959, 1972, and 1977 began to deal with the problems of large-scale, often absentee ownership of land and the excessive fragmentation of small holdings by introducing maximum and minimum area limits. The commercialization of agriculture has also resulted in fairly large-scale transfers of land, concentrating its ownership among middle-class farmers.
The attention given to the agricultural sector in development plans has brought about some radical changes in centuries-old farming techniques. The construction of tube wells for irrigation and salinity control, the use of chemical fertilizers and scientifically selected seeds, and the gradual introduction of farm machinery have all contributed to the notable increase in productivity. Early on, one of the prime objectives of agricultural development programs was self-sufficiency in wheat, which Pakistan achieved in the early 1970s.
Pakistan experienced a "green revolution" during the late 1960s. In this period wheat production increased dramatically, leaving a surplus over domestic consumption that was partly shipped to East Pakistan (Bangladesh) and partly exported. Cotton production also rose. Yields remain low by international standards, but increasing amounts are processed locally; in addition, much of Pakistan's edible oil is produced from cottonseed. Rice is the second major food staple and one of the country's important export crops. By the end of the 1980s, Pakistan had become the third largest exporter of rice in the world, after the United States and Thailand. Large domestic sugar subsidies have been the main cause for the increase in sugarcane production.
Animal husbandry provides important domestic and export products. Apart from the supply of meat and dairy products for local consumption, it includes production of wool for the carpet industry and for export and of hides and skins for the leather industry. The contribution of forestry to national income remains negligible, but that of fisheries has risen.
Mining and quarrying account for a small percentage of gross domestic product and of total employment. Manufacturing, however, accounts for a healthy proportion. The beginning of the main industrialization effort dates to the cessation of trade between India and Pakistan in 1949 soon after the two countries gained independence. Initially it was based on the processing of domestic agricultural raw materials for the home market and for export. This led to the setting up of cotton textile mills—a development that now accounts for a large part of the total employment in industry. Woolen textiles, sugar, paper, tobacco, and leather industries also provide many jobs for the industrial labour force.
The growing trade deficit in the mid-1950s compelled the government to cut down on imports, which encouraged the establishment of a number of import-substitution industries. At first these industries produced mainly consumer goods, but gradually they came to produce intermediate goods and a range of capital goods, including chemicals, fertilizers, and light engineering products. Nevertheless, Pakistan still has to import a large proportion of the capital equipment and raw materials required by industry. In the 1970s and early 1980s Pakistan set up an integrated iron and steel mill at Pipri, near Karāchi, with the financial and technical assistance of the Soviet Union. A new port, Port Qāsim (officially Port Muhammad Bin Qāsim), was built to bring iron ore and coal for the mill.
Initially Karāchi was the centre of Pakistan's industrialization effort, but in the late 1960s and early 1970s Lahore and the cities around it began to industrialize rapidly. Karāchi's ethnic problems in the late 1980s and early 1990s accelerated this process, and Punjab increasingly became Karāchi's competitor in industrial output.
Pakistan has a fairly well-developed system of financial services. The State Bank of Pakistan has overall control over the banking sector, which consists of a number of commercial banks and specialist credit institutions. The State Bank acts as banker to the central and provincial governments and administers official monetary and credit policies, including exchange controls. It has sole currency-issuing rights and has custody of the country's gold and foreign-exchange reserves. Pakistan has a number of commercial banks, called scheduled banks, which are subject to strict State Bank requirements as to paid-up capital and reserves. They account for the bulk of total deposits, collected through a network of branch offices. A few specialist financial institutions provide medium- and long-term credit for industrial, agricultural, and housing purposes and include the Pakistan Industrial Credit and Investment Corporation, the Industrial Development Bank of Pakistan, the Agricultural Development Bank of Pakistan, and the House Building Finance Corporation. A new financial institution, the National Development Finance Corporation, was set up in the 1970s to finance industries managed by the state. The Karāchi and Lahore stock exchanges deal in stocks and shares of registered companies. The Investment Corporation of Pakistan and the National Investment Trust have helped to channel domestic savings into the capital market. As part of the return to an "Islāmic economy," interest-free banking and financing practices have been instituted.
Although there has been a trend toward increasing exports, overall trade has remained heavily in deficit. Over the years, important changes have taken place in the composition of foreign trade. In particular, while the proportion of total exports from primary commodities, including raw cotton, has fallen, the share of manufactures has greatly increased. But the bulk of the manufactured products coming into the export trade consists of cotton goods, so that Pakistan remains as dependent as ever on its leading cash crop. The other manufactures exported come mostly from industries based on agriculture, such as leather and leather goods and carpets. The shift toward manufactured agricultural exports, which have a higher added-value content than primary commodities, has been encouraged by the government. The trade deficits and shortages of foreign exchange have made it necessary for the government to restrict imports and to provide financial incentives to promote export trade.
The dominant role of rail as the principal long-distance carrier has been displaced by the bus and truck. A program of deregulation of the road transport industry was undertaken in 1970; it encouraged the entry of a large number of independent operators into the sector. Motor trucks and tractor-drawn trailers are also displacing the traditional bullock cart for local transport of produce to markets.
The main arterial road, which runs from Karāchi to Peshāwar via Lahore and Rāwalpindi, is 1,080 miles (1,740 kilometres) long. The main rail route runs more than 1,000 miles north from Karāchi to Peshāwar, via Lahore and Rāwalpindi. Another main line branches northwestward from Sukkur to Quetta.
In the early 1990s the limitations of the transportation system emerged as a major constraint on the modernization of the economy, prompting the government to undertake large-scale investments in the highway sector. Private entrepreneurs were also invited to participate on the basis of a "build-operate-transfer" (BOT) approach, which has become popular in developing countries. (In the BOT system, private entrepreneurs build and operate infrastructure facilities such as ports, highways, and power plants and then recover their costs by charging tariffs from the users. Once the investors have recovered their outlay, the facility created is transferred to the government.)
Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), established in 1954, is the sole carrier of internal air traffic. PIA also runs international flights to Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and East Asia, as well as to neighbouring Afghanistan. The principal airports are at Karāchi, Lahore, Rāwalpindi, Quetta, and Peshāwar. Karāchi and Port Qāsim are the principal ports; in addition, a number of small harbours along the Makran Coast handle the small boats that ply between Pakistan and the Persian Gulf states.

Iron-Ore Ship Rates Rise to 33-Month High as China Demand Surges
Charter rates for the largest iron ore-carrying ships reached a 33-month high on rebuilding of inventories in China, the world's biggest importer of the steelmaking raw material.
Hire rates for Capesize vessels, each 1,000 feet long and able to haul at least 150,000 metric tons of cargo, rose 9.7 percent to $32,945 a day, according to the Baltic Exchange, the London-based publisher of shipping costs on global maritime routes. That was the highest since Nov. 24, 2010, data compiled by Bloomberg showed.
Declining iron-ore prices spurred restocking at Chinese steel mills, according to Marc Pauchet, a senior analyst at London-based ACM Shipping Group Plc. Ore shipments to China from Australia and Brazil, the world's two biggest exporters, also increased as production expands, according to Danske Bank Markets. Capesize rents gained for a 23rd session in 24 today on the Brazil-to-China route.
"For shipowners, this is very positive," said Rune Sand, an analyst at Carnegie SA in Oslo whose recommendations on the shares of shipping companies returned 18 percent in the past year. "Forward contract rates are also surging, meaning owners can lock in revenues at attractive rates now."
Ore Prices
Iron ore delivered to the Chinese port of Tianjin dropped 2.2 percent today, the most in four weeks, to $131.10 a dry ton, according to data from The Steel Index Ltd., part of McGraw Hill Financial Inc. Prices fell 9.5 percent this year.
Iron ore stockpiles fell 1.8 percent to 70.4 million tons in the week ended Sept. 13 and are the lowest for the time of year since 2010, according to data from Beijing Antaike Information Development.
Australia's Port Hedland, the world's biggest bulk terminal, shipped 22.3 million tons of iron ore to China last month, 34 percent more than a year earlier, port data show. Brazilian exports of 31.2 million tons were the highest for the month in two years, according to government data.

Marquee mandates such as the contract to manage the retirement savings of
A survey by research firm DEXX&R shows that funds under management in NAB's corporate super division surged 25.3 per cent to $24.1 billion in the year to June, just eclipsing the $23.9 billion managed by AMP.
The listed wealth manager recorded an 11.8 per cent rise in corporate super savings last year, which was below the industry average, according to DEXX&R.
Apart from the $2.8 billion mandate from mining behemoth BHP, secured last November, NAB also picked up contracts to manage super on behalf of oil group ExxonMobil Australia and consumer goods giant Kimberly-Clark in 2012-13.
NAB's dual platforms
NAB has two corporate super platforms. Plum, which has just celebrated its 15th birthday, specialises in large companies. It has 80 corporate clients and boasts a total of $20 billion in funds under management.
MasterKey Business Super caters for small and medium sized businesses, whose total fund size is typically less than $100 million. The platform oversees $13 billion on behalf of 30,000 employers.
The total figure of $33 billion for NAB's corporate super business takes in members who have left their employer and so have been moved to a personal super plan.
"AMP has traditionally dominated employer super but Plum has been more successful at winning tenders recently," said DEXX&R managing director
Mr Kachor noted Plum won a $300 million tender to manage super on behalf of property group
Corporate super has become a battleground for wealth managers, eager to pick up tenders from companies that are increasingly looking to outsource their super arrangements. The recent overhaul of Australia's $1.6 trillion retirement savings industry and a new requirement to adhere to tough prudential standards set by the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) are prompting companies to rethink their strategies of running in-house super schemes.
Corporate default super is the largest segment of the retirement savings industry, accounting for close to $800 billion in member funds, said NAB executive general manager for corporate and institutional wealth
Growth unsustainable
Mr Carter said he was "delighted" to have won high profile mandates such as BHP, but said the current growth rate was unlikely to be sustainable.
"The last little while has been a period of unusual growth. We have demonstrated our capability to successfully transition complex super funds," said Mr Carter.
However, he said he hoped to increase the bank's market share in the sector.
"We believe we have great momentum and believe we will be able to extend our lead," said Mr Carter.
AMP said the performance of its corporate super fund had been "strong" and said it was beginning to regain market share.
"We are in a lot of productive discussions with employers and the response to our [standardised, no-frills] MySuper offer has been extremely positive," said AMP director of corporate super
Ms Roy said that in the three months to June AMP gained 0.3 per cent, the biggest jump among the top three providers.
NAB denied it had won more clients by reducing prices.
"We are always competitive on fees, but the proposition is around value so we do not need to be the cheapest," said Mr Carter.
Account charges
NAB has followed the lead taken by AMP and warned it will apply a charge to member accounts to help recoup the cost of implementing a raft of super reforms, known as Stronger Super. The annual fee will be up to $80 per member and will apply from later this year.
In July AMP sent letters warning of impending rises in administration charges. The rise in the fee will be between 0.01 per cent and 0.13 per cent.
The fees will apply from January 2014 and AMP said they were expected to cease in January 2017.
NAB refused last week to rule out introducing a further charge to enable the fund to build reserves that would be used to compensate fund members in the case of an operational mistake.
"We're working closely with APRA. There is no member impact this year and we are also working very closely with our trustee to minimize any member impact in future years," said Mr Carter.

Searching Serious Eats by Column?
Is there a way to search by column? I know that usually every week there is a review about a food related book or cookbook. But I don't remember what that column is called and there doesn't seem to be a list of columns on the site map.
For example, I know Mark Bittman has been reviewed on the site, by recipes and books. But if I search by his name, I get a lot of results. So after trying different search methods I finally found the article on his book "How to Cook Everything, the Basics".
The columns are sort of a sub-header of each site, right? Well in a sense, like the Food Lab for example. So if I could see what columns there are, it could help with searching.
Or is there some much easier way to go about this?

Brett Waechter couldn't put into words how he was feeling. That can happen when dream is realized.
The feeling of euphoria was enhanced by the long journey. A shoulder injury ended his junior season two games into it last September. He wasn't cleared for contact until May 1.
Waechter kept himself in good condition while he was sidelined. He put the pads back on for Iowa's camp on July 1.
It worked. The Hawkeyes offered the Hartley-Melvin-Sanborn (Iowa) High lineman on Tuesday.
"I can't even real describe it," Waechter said. "It's awesome that hard work pays off."
The 6-foot-5, 250-pound Waechter said that the Hawkeyes offered him as an offensive lineman with the idea that he'll get his first look at tackle.
"I called Coach Brian Ferentz (Tuesday). He said he was busy at the moment and that I should call Coach (Reese) Morgan. He got in touch with him and after talking to him for a while, he handed the phone to Coach Kirk Ferentz. He said they wanted to offer me," Waechter said.
Waechter did not commit on the phone, he said. He will be back in Iowa City on June 22 with fellow Northeast Iowa standouts Jake Newborg, and twins Levi and Landan Paulsen. They all committed to the Hawkeye in person.
"I don't think I will camp anywhere else. I'll have my decision made sometime before the fall," Waechter said.
Waechter camped at Nebraska on Monday. That was his only stop after being at Iowa on June 1.
South Dakota also offered Waechter a scholarship, he said. Iowa State, Minnesota, Kansas State and other have shown interest and invited him to camps.

BAKU, Azerbaijan, 5 July 2012 - The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and Azersun Holding have teamed up to support the Government of Azerbaijan in its efforts to reduce childhood disability in Azerbaijan.
As part of the proposed partnership, the company will put the UNICEF logo and message (early prevention and early detection of childhood disability) on the packaging of its paper products, encouraging its customers to support UNICEF. The company will make a donation to support the UNICEF programme on early detection and early prevention of childhood disability.
"UNICEF works closely with multi-national corporations and national companies all over the world to implement alliances that leverage the strengths of the corporate sector on behalf of children. It is our hope that Azersun Holding can become our long-term partner in improving of the well-being of children in the country," said UNICEF Representative in Azerbaijan Mark Hereward.
Disability may be developmental or acquired and may arise from prenatal damage, perinatal factors, acquired neonatal and early childhood factors. The most frequently occurring type of disability in Azerbaijan is physical impairment, followed by sensory impairment and mental impairment. Most disability in Azerbaijan either originates from birth or from early childhood.
"To this end, early detection, prevention and early interventions in childhood disability are essential in uncovering possible disorders early, enabling timely socio-medical interventions. We are confident that our partnership with the Government – now supported by the private sector - will contribute to reducing childhood disability. We also hope this will encourage other corporations to engage in the cause for children's rights," Hereward said.
Azersun Holidng, apart from holding leadership position in the food production industry, is the producer of popular paper products, including kitchen towels, toilet paper, tissue and facial tissue.
"We believe that our cooperation with UNICEF will contribute to the wellbeing of children in Azerbaijan. Children with disabilities face many difficulties and it is also our hope that this initiative will have a positive impact on the health of many communities in the long term. We are grateful to UNICEF for inviting us to participate in this programme and we are happy to support it," said Abdolbari Gozal, Azersun Holding Chairman of the Board.
