PBS Global Solutions (PGS) is a subsidiary of PBS Holding. It was formed following PBS's acquisition of the former Staples Global Accounts Team in 2021. The business is led by experienced contracts exec Ian Kirton, supported by a team based in the Polish city of Gdansk. At the end of November, Kirton spoke to OPI Talk, shortly after PGS had held its first-ever in-person partner event in Amsterdam.   Episode recorded and produced by Andy Braithwaite Music by: Extreme Energy by MusicToday80: https://soundcloud.com/musictoday80/r...

More targeted support is on the way for beneficiaries on the jobseeker benefit, but questions have been raised about punishing people who don't move for jobs. Job losses have been a big problem in regional New Zealand this year, with two big mills closing in the Ruapehu District costing over 200 people their jobs. Mayor Weston Kirton told Ryan Bridge there simply aren't any regional jobs around. "We've got only a limited number of opportunities in our district. We do have one or two businesses that, on a seasonal basis, take people and we traditionally have a high unemployment rate in our area anyway," he said. "To have 230 jobs taken away from us has a huge impact on our economy". An additional 8000 people went on jobseeker support in the last three months, bringing the total to over 200,000 which is pushing the government's target of bringing that down to fewer than 50,000 by 2030.

Ruapehu's mayor Weston Kirton is deeply disappointed the Department of Conservation's has cancelled the planned expressions of interest for potential new operators of the beleaguered Chateau Tongariro Hotel. Kirton spoke to Corin Dann.

Two North Island mills have failed to strike a deal to save their operations. Winstone Pulp International announced its pulp and saw mills in the Ruapehu District will close indefinitely, putting more than 200 people out of work. Ruapehu mayor Weston Kirton says they'd been talking with Government Ministers and electricity providers trying to save the mills, but with no luck. He says he's devastated. "We've had our ups and downs, as you know, but this is a big hit. I'm really taking it personally." LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mayor of the Ruapehu District wants the Government to step in to save two businesses facing closure.  Hundreds of jobs are on the line - with the Kariori pulpmill and Tangiwai sawmill both under pressure, as energy costs have gone up significantly in recent years.  A meeting on the fate of hundreds of workers is expected tomorrow.  Ruapehu District Mayor Weston Kirton told Ryan Bridge this is not a new issue - as Tiwai Point was bailed out.  He says the Government can cap electricity prices to allow the mills to get over the line  until the issue evens out.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chris McClean is the global lead for digital ethics at Avanade, a large tech innovation and consulting firm. He's also studying for his PhD at the University of Leeds, spending his time thinking about risk and trust relationships, especially in cases with a significant power imbalance, and where the people making the decisions are different from those exposed to the risk resulting from those decisions.At the end of this conversation, we explored some practical questions related to Chris's day job, about what trust implies for business and the professions and in the digital realm, but in order to get there we first got stuck into the deeper question of what trust means…Here's a list of papers and authors mentioned by Chris in the discussion:Baier, A. “Trust and Antitrust.” Ethics 96, no. 2 (1986): 231–60. https://www.jstor.org/stable/2381376. Hawley, K. “Trust, Distrust and Commitment.” Noûs 48, no. 1 (2014): 1–20. https://doi.org/10.1111/nous.12000.Holton, R. “Deciding to Trust, Coming to Believe.” Australasian Journal of Philosophy 72, no. 1 (March 1994): 63–76. https://doi.org/10.1080/00048409412345881. Kirton, A.

Such is the challenge of writing propagation predictions. Nevertheless, after the X1.5-class flare on the 10th of June, things settled again and, at the moment, there are no incoming coronal mass ejections, or CMEs for short, to report. With a Kp index of less than 1 on Thursday the 13th, and a solar flux index of 165, it looks like HF conditions could be quite good. However, the Sun's proton flux has increased and is close to the 10 million electron volts warning threshold. This means that paths through the polar regions might be disrupted. Protons can herald the arrival of a CME two or three days later, although NOAA is not predicting any disruption. On the 13th of June, the critical frequency was between 7 and 8MHz, meaning a maximum useable frequency over a 3,000km path of around 21 to 24MHz. The 10m band will be open, mainly to Sporadic-E. However, F2-layer propagation on the 10m band will be sparse. NOAA predicts the solar flux index will fall to around 155 today, the 16th, before climbing again to around 195 in a week. Geomagnetic conditions are predicted to be quiet all week, but that may be because solar flares and CMEs are hard to predict at this point in the solar cycle. As always, make hay on the HF bands while the Sun shines! And make the most of the Sporadic-E propagation on the higher HF bands as June is probably a peak month for this. Finally, the latest sunspot data show that the average sunspot number for May was 171.7, the highest in 22 years. However, the ARRL reports that shortwave conditions were above average on only six days out of the entire month of May, and mostly poor on half of the days due to geomagnetic disturbances and solar flares. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The current spell of seemingly endless, poor weather is struggling to provide much Tropo. The general theme is low pressure bringing weather fronts with rain or, if not that, then scattered heavy showers. This again points to rain scatter for the GHz Bands as the mode worth exploring. There is just one glimmer of Tropo hope in that the latest model predictions are starting to inject the notion of a ridge developing over southern areas, initially around mid-week but perhaps more so at the end of the week. Although, it's fair to say that other models hang on to the low-pressure theme. That said, it's worth checking from the middle of next week onwards. There are no significant meteor showers this week so continue to check for random meteors around dawn. The solar conditions have continued to trickle charge the auroral oval with an occasionally enhanced Kp index indicating possible aurora. This is unlikely to be visible at this time of the year although, if you are outside with a clear view to the north, you might be rewarded with a seasonal look at noctilucent clouds to make up for it. High-summer Sporadic-E propagation is providing daily contacts so it's worth checking the bands each day. The daily blogs always have something to show on the 10m band and many days there are reports of contacts on the 6m band. Remember these openings are not always reachable from all parts of the UK. One of the characteristics of Sporadic-E is that at each end of the path the ‘signal footprint' is very small. Even in a busy opening, signals may still pass you by but you should continue to monitor in case a Sporadic-E path opens up that does include your station at one end! Moon declination is negative again from this weekend, ending today the 16th. EME path loss was at its highest at apogee on Friday the 14th. 144MHz sky noise starts the week low but rises steadily, reaching over 3,000 Kelvin on Friday the 21st. And that's all from the propagation team this week.  

GB2RS News Sunday the 9th of June 2024  The news headlines: TX Factor is marking its tenth anniversary by launching its 30th episode Changes to the four-year planning rule in England Bath Based Distance Learning's next Full licence course is starting soon TX Factor is marking its tenth anniversary by launching its 30th episode. It looks at how radio technology has advanced since Marconi conducted some of his early transmissions. The episode includes the first of a two-part feature on operating via the QO-100 geostationary satellite with a look at the hardware and software needed to achieve your first QSO at home or out mobile. Bob, G0FGX reviews the FTM-500D which is the latest mobile transceiver from Yaesu and demonstrates the many advanced features of this versatile FM and digital rig. There is a visit to Sidmouth Amateur Radio Society which secured a derelict former sports social club from the local council and turned it into a community hub and the club's new QTH. Watch this interesting episode and don't miss out on the TX Factor free-to-enter draw with a chance to win three RSGB publications. You can see this and previous episodes on txfactor.co.uk The four-year planning rule has offered a degree of protection for antennas and masts that have been erected without planning permission. Under this rule any installations which had been installed and unchanged for four years or more were protected against planning enforcement action. However, as of the 25th of April 2024, this rule ceased to exist in its current form in England under changes introduced under the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023. The rule has been replaced by a more stringent ten-year period for the exemption from enforcement for residential dwellings. This change does not affect Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland where the four-year rule will continue to apply. Any installation that was substantially completed before the introduction of the Act will still be subject to the four-year rule meaning, for most radio amateurs, the ten-year rule will not apply until the 24th of April 2028. For more information on planning matters visit rsgb.org/planning Bath Based Distance Learning's next Full licence course runs from August to December, with exams in January. There is no charge for the training, but applicants must work through some pre-course material and complete a quiz to be eligible for a place. To request full details, and an application form, please email Bath Based Distance Learning's Team Leader, Steve, G0FUW via g0fuw@bbdl.org.uk A reminder that the RSGB is asking radio amateurs to share their ideas on the theme of ‘change and adapt', as part of plans for British Science Week 2025. The event is run by the British Science Association and celebrates science, technology, engineering and maths. The 2025 theme offers a huge range of opportunities for creativity and discovery.

Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Thursday the 6th of June 2024 It seems that we haven't had a repeat performance of the auroral conditions caused by active sunspot region 3697. For Aurora watchers, that could be a disappointment, but for HF lovers it means the bands have been quite settled. The Kp index has been at 3 and below, while the solar flux index has been consistently above 175 all week. As a result, HF conditions have been quite good with maximum usable frequencies over a 3,000km path being regularly over 21MHz and often 24MHz. It is always a good idea to operate on the highest HF band that is open as absorption decreases the higher you go. Meanwhile, Sporadic-E propagation brought interest to the 10m band with stations from all over Europe being workable for long periods, but more of that in the VHF report. On the 5th of June, a filament located in the northeast quadrant erupted. The event flung a coronal mass ejection into space that doesn't appear to be Earth-directed. But this shows that we are still in the danger zone for major solar events, and anything could happen. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will remain around 175, but we expect some geomagnetic disruption today, the 9th of June, with a predicted Kp index of 4. Otherwise, solar conditions are predicted to be calm next week. So, if these conditions continue, this is a good time to make the most of the HF bands. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The weather pattern for the coming week is dominated by low pressure, which means there is unlikely to be any significant Tropo to speak of.  There will probably be several opportunities for those on the GHz bands to search for rain scatter. However, these events look to be moving showers or rain bands, which means that you'll need to be pretty agile with the rotator to keep on the scattering target. With the solar conditions continuing to keep the pot simmering it's not impossible that the Kp index could rise high enough to promote an aurora, but it's a low probability. The early part of June is well regarded for minor meteor events and should be worth a look for those using meteor scatter modes. There were several Sporadic-E openings early in the week that finish today, the 9th. Sporadic-E was reported up to the 2m band on a few occasions. Last Sunday, the 2nd, lasted up to three hours on the path from Eastern England down to the Italian peninsula. Events initially get picked up on the 10m band and then move up through the VHF bands of 6m, 4m and finally 2m as the Sporadic-E propagation strengthens. In this peak of the Sporadic-E season, the openings on the lower bands, such as 10 and 6m, can be present for much of the day and certainly quite late into the evening. Follow the weather patterns on the daily Sporadic-E blog on propquest.co.uk and you should be able to point in the right direction for an opening. Multi-hop paths to the Far East or the Americas require a good antenna like a beam, but single-hop European Sporadic-E propagation can be very strong, and any antenna will do the job. Moon declination is at its maximum this weekend for the DUBUS 10 and 24GHz EME contest, but EME path loss is rising. 144MHz sky noise is low all week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

There's an uncertain winter ahead for Mount Ruapehu's ski fields.  Whakapapa Holdings has pulled its bid on the Whakapapa side of the mountain, claiming there's not enough Crown funding.  It comes as a conditional agreement for Pure Turoa to run the Turoa ski field has been signed.  Ruapehu District Mayor Weston Kirton told Mike Hosking that the change of government has probably stretched out the situation.  He says the business community is concerned by the mountain's tenure, and he's waiting with interest to see what happens.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This Labor Day weekend will find Okeechobee abuzz with both locals and our urban coastal neighbors eager to take in yet another rodeo experience in one of Florida's iconic arenas - one of the few remaining outdoor, uncovered, and privately owned venues. It's a piece of Florida history and a solid slice of Americana. The rodeo is the largest fundraiser for the non-profit Okeechobee County Cattlemen's Association and it affords the association the ability to give back primarily to the youth of the community, but to others as well. The rodeo is held biannually - once in spring with The Speckled Perch Festival and again in September as the Pete Clemons Memorial Labor Day Rodeo. This week as Hurricane Idalia bears down on the Big Bend and North Florida, I sit down at the Okeechobee Cattlemen's Arena with fellow OCCA officers/board members to discuss our memories of growing up around the rodeo, how it's shaped us as leaders, and how it helps our community on so many levels.

An end seems to be in sight to the Ruapehu Alpine Lifts saga. The skifield is in voluntary administration with the Government backing two bidders to take the reins. It's understood it would be split into two skifields; one business running each. Creditors vote next week on whether to liquidate the company, and sell assets to bidders. Mayor Weston Kirton told Mike Hosking there's more to be done, but he's comfortable with the proposal.

By RNZ The Ruapehu mayor says a deal is close to being settled on who will be taking over Ruapehu ski fields. Ruapehu Alpine Lifts, which ran the Whakapapa and Turoa ski fields, went into voluntary administration in October, owing millions of dollars. Four bidders had been vying for the contracts to take over and Mayor Weston Kirton said government officials had picked the two they favoured to run each ski field separately. He understood they were Pure Turoa and a company linked to businessmen Dave Mazey and Tom Elworthy to manage Whakapapa. Kirton said the community were excited about the developments, but they did not want to celebrate too soon with negotiations still in progress. “There's a few unknowns to be considered, but it certainly gives confidence that we're going to see a ski operation this year in some shape or form.  “It's been delayed, and it's been a worry some people have gone elsewhere for skiing. The main thing is from our perspective is that we see a ski season, it's such a key part of our economy,” Kirton said. In a statement, the Government would not confirm who it had chosen and said negotiations were continuing. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment has been approached for comment. - RNZSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A lobbying firm who's NZ arm was previously headed up by the Prime Minister's chief of staff, Andrew Kirton, worked for alcohol companies in their fight for major changes to a container return scheme that has now been ditched by the government. Kirton lobbied for Asahi and Lion with his firm Anacta, resigning just one day before he was announced as chief of staff for Prime Minister Chris Hipkins on 1 February.  The alcohol companies wanted big changes to the container return scheme, which they feared could reduce their sales by up to 20 percent.  The government dropped the scheme last week, saying it would have added to the cost of living.  A spokesman for the Prime Minister said Kirton completed a conflict of interest process when he took up the job and played no role in the decision to defer the scheme. RNZ investigative journalist Guyon Espiner broke the story.  He spoke to Corin Dann.

The Prime Minister is confident his Chief of Staff cut ties with his lobbying firm before taking up his new role. Andrew Kirton headed the New Zealand arm of an Australian lobbying firm whose clients included alcohol companies opposing a proposed container return scheme, which has since been put on hold by the government. Chris Hipkins told Morning Report the Cabinet decision to halt the scheme was made after Kirton began work with him. "Part of his taking on the job was that he had to dispense off any remaining commitments he had to any of the clients that he had worked with previously." Hipkins says there is a need for transparency and vigilance around lobbying.

Fresh questions for the Prime Minister over how much access lobbyists have to the halls of power. Official documents released to RNZ show Government departments are paying lobbyists hundreds of thousands of dollars for communications advice. Documents also show Chris Hipkins' Chief of Staff, Andrew Kirton, was previously working for liquor firms to lobby ministers to water down the now scrapped container return scheme. Hipkins told Mike Hosking anyone can seek a meeting with ministers, but admits some people, like Kirton, may have had an "in", because they know ministers personally.

Tourism in Ruapehu has taken another substantial blow with news the Chateau Tongariro will close its doors on Sunday. KAH New Zealand, which manages the hotel at Whakapapa, says its due diligence when working through an extension of its lease found the hotel no longer met current standards for seismic safety. The cost of refurbishments, paired with other factors such as Ruapehu Alpine Lifts going into administration, saw KAH pull the pin on operating the hotel. The Department of Conservation says it's yet to find out how much fixing the category one heritage building might cost. Ruapehu Mayor Weston Kirton says it's a huge blow to the region, and there is now huge uncertainty as to the future of tourism at Whakapapa. Kirton spoke to Corin Dann.  

Ruapehu's local economy is expected to be on thin ice at the closure of a ski chateau. The heritage-listed Chateau Tongariro Hotel will shut in five days after the building's lease expires. The 93-year-old mountainside accommodation had to close as necessary seismic upgrades were deemed too expensive. Ruapehu mayor Weston Kirton says it was an iconic spot and it shouldn't have to go. Mayor Kirton says that the loss of the Chateau Tongariro Hotel is another hit to Ruapehu's tourism.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government has a challenge in front of it over what to do about the plight of the Ruapehu ski fields. Ruapehu Alpine Lifts is in voluntary administration, carrying debt of $45 million.  The Government isn't throwing anymore lifelines, leaving the business that runs the Turoa and Whakapapa ski fields staring down the barrel of liquidation. The company's demise would cost taxpayers up to $100 million because all infrastructure would have to be removed from the mountain. Ruapehu district mayor Weston Kirton told Mike Hosking the Government doesn't appear to realise these costly implications. He's asking the Government to consider whether they would rather spend $20 million now to save the ski field or another $80 million to demolish the infrastructure.
