SPC/CRGA 37 (07) Paper 2.2.1
SPC/CRGA 37 (07) Paper 2.2.1 ORIGINAL: ENGLISH SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY THIRTY-SEVENTH MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF GOVERNMENTS AND ADMINISTRATIONS (Apia, 7-9 November 2007) OVERVIEW REPORTS FOR 2007 WORK PROGRAMMES – DIVISIONAL OVERVIEW PRESENTATION AGENDA ITEM 2.2.1 – LAND RESOURCES DIVISION (Paper presented by the Secretariat) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. The Land Resources Division (LRD) continued to focus its activities on the outputs of its Integrated Strategic Plan 2005–2008. In developing work plans, special attention was given to aligning activities to national priorities elaborated in national and sectoral strategies. The management structure, which encourages integration and sharing of resources, has, among other benefits, added much value to the division’s human and financial resources. 2. Increased attention was given to LRD’s facilitation role in helping PICTs develop policy, legislation and plans. For the Pacific Islands’ voice to be heard and listened to, active engagement at the international level is important. LRD has engaged in a number of important forums and conventions during the year, such as the United Nations Forum on Forests (UNFF), UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA). 3. The Regional Germplasm Centre (RGC) has been renamed Centre for Pacific Crops and Trees (CePaCT) and the depth and scope of its work and that of the Pacific Agricultural Plant Genetic Resources Network (PAPGREN) and the Forests and Trees thematic area group have increased, particularly with the additional support provided by the transfer of the South Pacific Regional Initiative on Forest Genetic Resources (SPRIG) project to LRD. -

In the absence of any Second XI cricket and the One Day Cup competition, the Bob Willis Trophy reports have been expanded to include a write up for each day’s play as well as the full scorecards. Sadly all fixtures were played behind closed doors so hopefully these extended reports will enable readers to get the feeling of actually being at the game! In addition, the Somerset Women’s team reports plus the Boys and Girls Pathway write ups are included in the first half of the book as they now come under the remit of Somerset CCC rather than the Somerset Cricket Board. -

The Samoan Aidscape: Situated Knowledge and Multiple Realities of Japan’S Foreign Aid to Sāmoa
THE SAMOAN AIDSCAPE: SITUATED KNOWLEDGE AND MULTIPLE REALITIES OF JAPAN’S FOREIGN AID TO SĀMOA A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN GEOGRAPHY DECEMBER 2012 By Masami Tsujita Dissertation Committee: Mary G. McDonald, Chairperson Krisnawati Suryanata Murray Chapman John F. Mayer Terence Wesley-Smith © Copyright 2012 By Masami Tsujita ii I would like to dedicate this dissertation to all who work at the forefront of the battle called “development,” believing genuinely that foreign aid can possibly bring better opportunities to people with fewer choices to achieve their life goals and dreams. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This dissertation is an accumulation of wisdom and support from the people I encountered along the way. My deepest and most humble gratitude extends to my chair and academic advisor of 11 years, Mary G. McDonald. Her patience and consideration, generously given time for intellectual guidance, words of encouragement, and numerous letters of support have sustained me during this long journey. Without Mary as my advisor, I would not have been able to complete this dissertation. I would like to extend my deep appreciation to the rest of my dissertation committee members, Krisnawati Suryanata, Terence Wesley-Smith, Lasei Fepulea‘i John F. Mayer, and Murray Chapman. Thank you, Krisna, for your thought-provoking seminars and insightful comments on my papers. The ways in which you frame the world have greatly helped improved my naïve view of development; Terence, your tangible instructions, constructive critiques, and passion for issues around the development of the Pacific Islands inspired me to study further; John, your openness and reverence for fa‘aSāmoa have been an indispensable source of encouragement for me to continue studying the people and place other than my own; Murray, thank you for your mentoring with detailed instructions to clear confusions and obstacles in becoming a geographer. -

Michael Sexton has worked as a journalist for more than 30 years in Australia and abroad. He has worked in news, current affairs and documentary. His written work includes biography, environmental science and sport. In 2015 he co-authored Playing On, the biography of Neil Sachse published by Affirm Press. Chappell’s Last Stand is his seventh book. 20170814_3204 Chappells last stand_TXT.indd 1 15/8/17 10:42 am , CHAPPELLS LAST STAND BY MICHAEL SEXTON 20170814_3204 Chappells last stand_TXT.indd 3 15/8/17 10:42 am PROLOGUE , IT S TIME Ian Chappell’s natural instinct is to speak his mind, which is why he was so troubled leaving the nets after South Australia’s practice session in the spring of 1975. As he tucked his pads under his arm and picked up his bat, the rest of the players were already making their way to the change room at the back of the ivy-covered Members Stand. The Sheffield Shield season was beginning that week in Brisbane. Queensland would play New South Wales. Like a slow thaw following winter, cricket’s arrival heralded the approach of summer. Chappell felt compelled to make some sort of speech on the eve of the season. Despite his prowess with words he wasn’t much for the ‘rah rah’ stuff. He believed bowlers bowled and batsmen batted. If they needed motivation from speeches then there might be something wrong. When he spoke it was direct and honest which is why his mind was being tugged in two directions: what 20170814_3204 Chappells last stand_TXT.indd 1 15/8/17 10:42 am he wanted to say to the team that might set the tone for the year, and what he really thought of their chances. -

Economic and Fiscal Analysis
Economic Recovery Support Program (Subprogram 2) (RRP SAM 43191) ECONOMIC AND FISCAL ANALYSIS A. Development Performance 1. The Samoan economy is led by the tourism, agriculture, and fisheries sectors, which are vibrant sources of employment and economic growth. However, Samoa, like other Pacific island countries, faces constraints imposed by a small domestic market, high transportation costs, inefficiencies in the state-owned enterprise (SOE) sector, weaknesses in physical infrastructure, and a weak business climate. 2. The economy is also highly exposed to external global conditions, and adverse weather, natural disasters, and crop disease—that is, factors beyond its control. The balance of payments, for example, relies heavily on the continued inflow of private remittances, official grants, and international tourism receipts (which are highly dependent on economic conditions in major trading partner markets such as Australia, New Zealand, and the United States). The economic cost of several cyclones in the early 1990s (which saw the ratio of government expenditure to gross domestic product (GDP) peak at more than 80% in FY1993), as well as the extensive damage to local food production as a result of the taro blight, offer other examples of the economies vulnerability. 3. Yet Samoa has overcome these inherent limitations through political stability, and prudent and decisive policy action based around major economic and public sector reforms. Macroeconomic and fiscal stability, liberalized financial markets, public service reforms, reduced government presence in commerce, improved infrastructure, and increased liberalization of the telecommunications and aviation markets have significantly improved the business environment. As a result, Samoa is widely regarded as a success story of the Pacific. -
Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.
