A girl starts each verse off with a charming #39;tahi, lua, tolu, wha #39;. The record cover notes that although the poi is not native to Fiji, the girls at Loreto were fascinated by the Maori art form and soon mastered the twirling of both the short and long poi. The song is given the droning, sonorous Fijian harmonies and there is added interest with the variations in tempo of the various verses. I doubt if any Maori group has recorded a better version than this one by these Fijian youngsters.

Data Security Paramount To Channel Islands' Asia Push

Posted on by

03 December 2012

Channel Islands financial services providers must ensure that they have robust information security safeguards in place to attract more business from emerging markets, particularly in Asia, after a recent survey found that businesses globally are over-estimating the strength of their security frameworks.

PwC's 10th annual survey on the "Global State of Information Security" featured interviews with 9,300 top-ranking executives from 128 countries. 68% of businesses are confident of their organization's information security activities, while 42% considered that their organization implements industry-leading standards in the area.

However, PwC found that only 8% of companies have each of the following: a chief information security officer or equivalent in place; an overall information security strategy; periodic reviews of the effectiveness of their security in the last year; and an understanding of exactly what types of security events have occurred.

The survey in fact found that most organizations are keeping looser tabs on their data today than in past years, despite a marked increase in hacking activities and data leakages. For instance, fewer than 35% of respondents said they had an accurate inventory of employee and customer personal data.

Nick Vermeulen, Head of Advisory Services at PwC Channel Islands, observed that the Channel Islands must keep pace with Asia, which currently leads the world in security practices and performance (being rated particularly highly for mobile security initiatives and cloud security strategy), now that the territories intend to target the region with their financial services offerings.

Vermeulen commented: This trend is highly relevant for our finance industries locally, which are affected by the global shift of capital flow to the east. We need to factor in the expectations these markets will have around how we do business with them. If Guernsey and Jersey are to succeed in building strong relationships with them, we need information security that meets or exceeds their own standards. There will also be a high benchmark set for us to reach on every aspect of how we use digital technology to communicate and do business."

He added: There is also an urgent need for both islands to have strategies in place for developing a digital economy. We must ensure businesses operating from our islands have all the support they need both to get the basics right and transform their businesses to a digital model and prosper.

Matthew Parker, Risk Assurance Manager at PwC Channel Islands, added: This survey emphasizes just how important it is for organizations to ensure their boards grasp the risks to the business and the steps needed to manage them. There is an opportunity to maximize the investment made in managing these risks by thinking of information security as both a means to protect data and an opportunity to create value for the organization. Establishing a Chief Information Security Officer role should be a major priority for most organizations.

Rubbish barge in the Bay of Islands this summer

Posted on by

Boaties are being encouraged by DOC to make use of a mobile rubbish barge that will be operating in the Bay of Islands waters this summer.

The service is being trialled by the Northland Regional Council and operated by a local contractor, Tim Roffey. The barge will be manned, and will anchor around the islands/boats in the eastern Bay of Islands for pre-advertised periods and locations to collect rubbish.

The barge will operate every other day initially commencing on the 26th December through to the 14th January. This frequency is likely to reduce as the peak summer season progresses and is likely to finish by 25th January. The service is a trial this year, and will be dependent on both demand and the weather.

Pickup times and barge locations will be broadcasted via Russell Radio (Channel 63). The position and timing of the service will be planned according to prevailing weather conditions. The rubbish will be sorted into recycled and general rubbish so boaties can assist by bringing their refuse already sorted. (Bottles, cans and refuse.)

Far North District Council will be organising the on land side of the refuse disposal, with contractors East/West Waste. People can buy East/West Waste bags from normal retail outlets (Russell Front 4 Square and Russell Bookshop: Opua 4 Square and Burnsco Marine, and the Paihia 4 Square) for $3 and will need to pay the barge an extra $2 to cover the shipping costs to mainland refuse sites. Other bags will need an East West Waste sticker. Boaties should ensure they have change or cash on hand, as bags will not be accepted unless paid for.

There will only be one mainland refuse site on the peninsula this year at Rawhiti.

Rolien Elliot, Area Manager DOC says, "DOC is continuing to promote a Pack it in/Pack it out rubbish policy where visitors are responsible for their own rubbish like a lot of conservation areas and parks throughout New Zealand. The public can help reduce the amount of rubbish they produce by repackaging their supplies in reusable containers and disposing of the original packaging before leaving home; buying prepaid rubbish bags or stickers and using refuse/recycling facilities on the mainland."

"Other ways visitors and locals can help the Bay of Islands over the summer are:

Supporting Project Island Song and the pest-free islands by stopping (before leaving home) - checking (for stowaways) - and going (and having fun!), Removing packaging prior to leaving home to limit the quantity of onboard rubbish.

picking up a free boatie bag from volunteers at the mainland boat ramps, marinas and wharves (it includes information about the rubbish trial) and providing feedback about the rubbish disposal system online at http://www.fndc.govt.nz/contact/email-us "

Marine industries beware: Ice islands dead ahead

Posted on by

The birth of an ice island is rarely seen. But what begins in remote high Arctic latitudes can, in the years and decades that follow, have a real impact on places that are far more visible, like shipping lanes and offshore oil platforms.

Recent years have produced a wave of ice islands. Researchers tracking the giant formations have tabulated roughly 1,000 square kilometres that have broken free from Greenland and Canadas Arctic islands. At a time when new research suggests the Greenland ice sheet is melting five times faster than in the 1990s and roughly a quarter of that is in the form of icebergs, according to the Swiss Federal Research Institute a frozen area the size of Hong Kong is wandering south, breaking into hundreds and thousands of smaller bits, some too small to be seen by ship radar, as they drift.

That volume of ice stands to present hazards to marine industries along Canadas northern and eastern coasts for years to come, researchers are now warning. Ice islands, especially if they stay in northern latitudes, can last for decades as they slowly splinter apart, so the potential for problems is a lengthy one.

Roughly half the volume has come from the coast of Ellesmere Island, at the top of the Arctic archipelago.

These are ice islands that are drifting to the west, and will be of concern for any infrastructure or shipping in the western Arctic, said Derek Mueller, an assistant professor in the department of geography and environmental studies at Carleton University, who studies icy regions. He referred specifically to revived offshore drilling in Alaska and to rising, albeit still minimal, levels of traffic through the Northwest Passage.

The Greenland ice is headed into better-travelled transatlantic shipping lanes. A large section of one ice island has already found its way near the Strait of Belle Isle, between Labrador and Newfoundland, a shortcut used by vessels crossing between northern Europe and the St. Lawrence.

If they break up into smaller pieces and you get bergy bits and growlers concrete-hard chunks the size of houses and cars, some of which can be submerged in heavy wave conditions, making them difficult to spot theyre impossible to track at that scale, Mr. Mueller said. So any one of those pieces of ice could potentially be a hazard to shipping.

Some of that risk can be avoided by mapping the trajectory of ice islands, a task that has become part of Mr. Muellers research. He has worked with Transport Canada and the Canadian Ice Service to predict where the ice islands will go and how they will deteriorate modelling the path of danger. He and several other researchers will present an update of their findings to an Arctic research gathering in Vancouver next week.

The concern about ice islands must be weighed against the tremendous gains that have been made in ice detection in recent years and decades. The ice services of the Canadian and U.S. Coast Guards produce regular ice maps that are widely available to ship captains. Companies engaged in oil exploration pay close attention to icebergs, using satellite data and spotter planes to track their movements and employing ships to tug them away if they near production platforms.

Those ships, however, cant redirect a large fragment of an ice island, although for the most part these ice islands are breaking up into small enough fragments that by the time they get south, theyre manageable, said Tony King, director of geotechnical engineering with C-CORE, a St. Johns firm that does ice engineering work.

Cable and Wireless Communications has announced the sale of the majority of its Monaco and Islands division.

The company has accepted $680m (420m) from Bahrain Telecommunications Company (Batelco) for the division which operates broadband and telephone lines.

Monaco and Islands operates services in the Channel Islands, Falkland Islands and the Maldives among other areas.

Tony Rice, CEO of Cable and Wireless Communications, said the move was part of a focus on growth in the Americas.

The sale includes all operations in the Maldives, Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Seychelles, Diego Garcia and South Atlantic islands, as well as part of its holdings in Monaco.

Sheikh Mohamed bin Isa Al Khalifa, chief executive of Batelco, said the company would invest in the islands' telecommunications.

He said: "[It] is a well-managed business that we want to invest in so that it continues to build upon its existing strengths."

The sale will need to pass final regulatory conditions, and is expected to be complete by the end of the financial year.

Islands at Doha talks seek climate-damage insurance program

Posted on by

DOHA, Qatar Islands most vulnerable to rising sea levels are pushing for a climate-damage insurance program, adding to pressure on industrial nations to boost aid committed to fight global warming past $100 billion a year.

The islands propose a "loss and damage" mechanism that would insure and compensate countries that suffer from extreme weather, erosion and drought. The request adds to tensions between more than 190 industrial and developing nations at the United Nations climate talks in Doha this week.

"All we are asking is that they help us with these issues that aren't our doing," Malia Talakai of Nauru, lead negotiator for the Alliance of Small Island States, or AOSIS, a bloc of 43 island nations, said in an interview in Doha. "We are trying to say that if you pollute you must help us."

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon joins the meeting Tuesday with six national leaders including Gabon's President Ali-Ben Bongo Ondimba and Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn. The conference is aiming to streamline its negotiation process this year, paving the way for adopting a treaty limiting fossil-fuel emissions by 2015 that would come into force in 2020.

Industrial nations three years ago pledged to boost aid to $100 billion a year by 2020. Those funds would cover projects including renewable energy and sea walls that would help countries adapt to and fight climate change.

The United States, the European Union and other developed countries are wary of the proposal because it may have the potential to create open-ended financial and legal liabilities, said Saleemul Huq, a Bangladeshi scientist based in London at the International Institute for Environment and Development.

"Developed countries hear that phrase, 'loss and damage,' and they think of an international fund for compensation and liability taboo subjects for them," Huq said in an interview in Doha. "There's strong pushback. The U.S. has said there is no way they are going to do it."

State Department envoy Todd Stern dodged a question Monday on the matter after arriving in Doha, saying there are "some issues that are of concern there, but I don't want to weigh into that without being certain."

EU Climate Commissioner Connie Hedegaard said the 27-member bloc has been supportive of the concept, though has some reservations on how to proceed.

"We think that it's not really mature enough yet to say this is exactly how we do it," Hedegaard said in an interview in Doha. "We need some more work on that, but we have signaled very clearly to them that we are open to find a solution on loss and damage."

Health-care workers cheer softened stand on flu shots

Posted on by

The provinces health-care workers are hailing a last-minute reprieve in a landmark policy by public health officials that would have forced them to receive a flu shot or wear a surgical mask during their shifts.

Staff who refused to comply with the policy the first of its kind in Canada would have been liable to discipline, up to and including termination.

But late last week, the Health Ministry agreed to hold off enforcing the flu-shot decree for the next year, and renew efforts to persuade public health-care personnel to agree to be immunized. The mandatory policy was to have taken effect Dec. 1.

This is a huge relief, BC Nurses Union president Debra McPherson said Monday. It was creating a lot of anger and frustration in the workplace.

As the deadline for compliance approached, hospitals were posting public lists of nurses who had been immunized and encouraging employees to report on other workers who had not received their shots, Ms. McPherson said.

It was really upsetting. Now, some of the poison has been stopped. Its taken a lot of the pressure off.

Jeanne Meyers of the Health Sciences Association, the first of three health-care unions to file a grievance against the new rule, said HSA members are absolutely pleased by the easing of the approach.

Weve agreed to put our grievance in abeyance, and they are holding enforcement in abeyance, Ms. Meyers said. Our membership is very relieved.

The nurses union, the HSA and the Hospital Employees Union, together representing more than 100,000 health-care workers, objected to their members being forced to have a flu shot, or wear a mask, while at work. Nurses felt it was a real violation of their right to direct their own health care, that it was questioning their own critical judgment, Ms. McPherson said. She said studies have shown that flu shots offer only marginal benefits.

Despite that, the BCNU and other health-care organizations continue to recommend immunization to their members. Its the best weve got, Ms. McPherson said. But it has to be a matter of choice.
