I am so pleased to see NZ Herald Business Journalist Kate McNamara continue to write about the woes in the Ruapehu District. Why? Because the Ruapehu region has been hit hard with indecision around the two ski fields, the sudden closure of the Chateau two years ago; followed by the loss of over 200 jobs when Winstone's pulp and timber mills shut down late last year. This region has taken a beating through no fault of their own! Yesterday McNamara focused on the issues surrounding the majestic Chateau Tongariro Hotel, which has been sitting in a derelict state for two years. It's a sad sight at the base of Ruapehu. A desolate Chateau, the golf course overgrown, and empty buildings surrounding it. The area feels quietly paused in time, with no sense of if and when it may spring back to life. Whakapapa Holdings Ltd, the company in the process of buying the Whakapapa Ski Field, is keen to discuss the future of the Chateau with government officials. They are interested in taking on the historic chateau, reviving it, providing employment, an increase in tourism, and offering some economic stability for the region. The problem is – no one is really interested in talking to them. As we learnt with the ski fields, this is a complicated region that requires sensitive conversations between government, the Department of Conservation, iwi and other stakeholders. It was a struggle to find a consensus over the ski fields – with some preferring the continuation of a not-for-profit organisation such as previous operators RAL, others' preferring to hand things over to private operators. Along the way, a lot of government money was put into keeping the ski fields afloat, until it got to the point where the fields were too expensive to fail, as was the prospect of closing them down, removing all structures from the mountain and returning it to its natural state. Getting the Chateau up and running again will cost many millions of dollars – but on the right terms, such as a 30 year lease and a peppercorn rent, WHL would be willing to make the investment. They have also done research into the earthquake strengthening which needs to be done and believe it's not as extensive as previously suggested. Look, this might not be the deal which makes everyone happy, but frankly I don't see anyone else queuing up to give it a go. Leaving the chateau empty and decaying for years, possibly decades - at the cost of around $150 - $200,000 a month for maintenance – when a possible solution sits on the table is simply depressing. The government needs to deal with the lease termination agreement and payment to the previous operators, reopen expressions of interest, and have some conversations. Talking is almost always a good place to start, so please take the call. Ruapehu is an incredible part of our country, and one that deserves to be thriving.

I promise it isn't boring and you will learn something. We explore things like: What are the most common things people insure? Are people ignoring insurance? What we don't know about insurance that we need to? You will enjoy these stories and this will get you thinking more about insurance and it's importance.How To Find Johny ⬇️https://www.insurance-market.co.nz/brokers/insurance-market-collective/our-team/johny-winstonehttps://www.instagram.com/johnywinstone/Find us here:https://nextadvisory.nz/#book-onlinehttps://www.instagram.com/nextadvisory.nz/CheersL&P

Currently, unemployment is sitting at 4.6 percent or 143,000 people out of work. Treasury forecast have it rising to 5.3 percent by this years end. Today, the Alliance Group confirmed it's shutting down it's meat processing plant in Timaru; that's 600 jobs gone. Earlier this month Winstone pulp closed two sites in the Ruapehu district with 230 losing their jobs and this week Kiwirail said it would offer all staff voluntary redundancy. How does that work and what do employees need to know if they've been offered redundancy? Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Lisa Owen.

Winstone has shut down two mills, citing high electricity costs, but in Kawerau, Sequal sawmill is scaling up to meet demand

It's the last day for Winstone Pulp International after operating for 45 years in the Ruapehu District, providing hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars for the local economy. Senior Journalist Alexa Cook spoke to Charlotte Cook.

It's the last day of operation for Winstone Pulp International after 45 years in the Ruapehu District, providing hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars for the local economy. Mill worker Zach Ryan spoke to Alexa Cook about his last day at Winstone Pulp.

The government is coming under fire for not stepping into to help save 230 mill workers from losing their jobs. Winstone Pulp International near Ohakune has confirmed it will close indefinitely next month - which will devastate local communities who rely on the mill as the largest employer in the area. There was hope the government might intervene after ministers and mill management met several times to discuss unsustainable wholesale power pricing. But as Alexa Cook reports, that only gave people false hope.

An Ohakune family is pondering its future following yesterday's news Ruapehu's biggest employer Winstone Pulp will close two of its central North Island mills. Charles has worked at the mill for 25 years as an electrician and his son Leonardo for the past two years as an operator, he's hoping the closure won't mean his son ends up flipping burgers. Winstone Pulp had paid staff in full during the consultation period and will pay in full any outstanding leave and redundancy for its 230 workers at the Tangiwai Sawmill and Karioi pulpmill. Charles spoke to Lisa Owen and said he thought he had a job for life and he wished he'd seen it coming.

A poor gas outlook is seen as the main suspect for further job losses in manufacturing.  The country's largest gas user Methanex is proposing to move from two plants to one for the foreseeable future.  It comes after Winstone pulp confirmed plans to shut two mills to more than 200 workers earlier this week.  Former president and CEO of Methanex, Bruce Aitken told Mike Hosking we lack a long term, coherent energy strategy.  He says if you want to build power stations or wind farms, they take many years in planning and construction.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It won't be a particularly good morning for the people of the central North Island. There was a sense of inevitability really, though, with the announcement that Winstone International will be closing its two mills near Ohakune. For months now, Winstone have been working on trying to find a way to keep the mills open in the face of declining commodity prices and astronomically high power prices. More than 200 workers are directly affected, but of course many, many more will feel the ripple effects of the mills closure. And this comes right on the heels of Ruapehu Alpine lifts troubles as well. It's a real double whammy for the region. The Tangiwai Sawmill and the Karioi Pulpmill have been a part of the central North Island community for more than 40 years. Generations have worked at the mills, but no more.   Resources Minister Shane Jones was with Mike Hosking this morning on the Mike Hosking Breakfast and says the reason for the closure can be laid squarely at the feet of the electricity authority, and we need to make changes to the energy sector.   “Look, it's up to you and I, as Kiwis and your listeners, do you want an economy where the price of power is internationally competitive to keep businesses functioning? Or do you want to disembowel your economy and turn it into an import model? I don't want that. Which is why Simeon Brown and I are signing off now the criteria and that criteria for the review of the power sector will involve structural separation, but look, mate, people have their had this nervousness, they've had this skittishness - don't touch the power system. We trusted the power system to deliver outcomes that boost international competitiveness and national security, they haven't so we have to change it, simple.”  Well, it's not going to be that simple, is it? Changing it is not going to be that simple at all.  I'd be really interested to hear from other manufacturers or those involved in manufacturing and in business. Is it the fluctuating power prices? Can you point to the electricity authority if your business is really struggling and saying you, you as an entity are the reason that I may well go to the wall? There have been so many stresses put on business, put on manufacturers in particular, over the past four or five years.    Is the fluctuating price of electricity the straw that's breaking many camel's backs, or is it just four or five years of really tough times? Is it international prices making you uncompetitive when compared with product from the rest of the world and the electricity authority is being used as the whipping boy? I love the way he says simple, he's going to break up the electricity authority. Well no, it's not going to be simple. And it's too late for Ohakune, far too late. When Shane Jones says it's the electricity market that's going to stuff our economy, I would have thought there was a bit more to it than that. For people having to pay high interest on business loans, the cost of living crisis, which means spending is reduced internationally competitive prices, other countries being able to outbid you, the high wages that you have to pay here compared to other countries, really the electricity component, I would have thought is just another big pressing, weighty issue coming into your office, not the only one.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John MacDonald was joined by Chris Hipkins for their regular catchup.   Labour's leader is siding with the Prime Minister in being open to exploring a social media ban for kids.  Australia's Government's examining banning under-16 year olds from using sites like Instagram, Facebook, and X.  Christopher Luxon has said he's looking into the policy.  Chris Hipkins told John MacDonald that he's on the same page, but this shouldn't be seen as a silver bullet as kids ultimately find ways around such things.  He says there also needs to be a good focus on educating kids to be safe online.  Hipkins also says the electricity sector needs more regulation as two central North Island mills have given final confirmation they'll close.   Winstone Pulp is blaming high energy prices for shutting down its Ohakune mills, with the loss of 230 jobs.  Chris Hipkins says the new Government's done away with a consumer advocacy group for electricity users, but intervention is needed.  He says there's clear evidence the market is failing because people are paying too much and electricity company profits are making far too big a profit – evidence the Government should do more.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Another blow for regional New Zealand and the manufacturing industry is being seen as potentially devastating.  Methanex is proposing cutting staff and moving from two plants to one.  Earlier this week Winstone pulp confirmed plans to shut, putting more than 200 jobs on the chopping block after soaring energy prices.  Energy Resources Aotearoa's John Carnegie told Ryan Bridge the system is going from crisis to crisis - something he believes is predictable following the oil and gas ban.  He says it leaves a hole in the confidence of investors.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hundreds of people are set to lose their jobs after one of the Central North Island's biggest employers announced today it will close down two of its mills, for good.

The Government could be importing liquefied natural gas to relieve businesses struggling with high power prices.  An Auckland paper recycling pulp mill with 75 staff is proposing to close.  Ohakune's Winstone pulp and timber mills are also at the brink of closure, putting 300 jobs on the line.  Both blame sky rocketing increases in power prices over the years.  Finance Minister Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking she understands the Government may have to go to drastic measures like importing gas to give relief for businesses.  She says she's hearing there's a lot of pain and pressure being felt by businesses because of these high prices.  Willis is also tempering expectations for public servant pay increases.  The Government's written to public sector agencies ahead of collective negotiations saying they must keep spending reined in, and any increases should be based on performance.  It follows thousands of jobs being cut in the sector to meet Government budget cuts.  Willis told Hosking agencies need to be realistic about the challenges in the economy.  She says in the past public sector pay increases have risen ahead of those in the private sector, and that's not right.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hey there, fellow Watchers. Today, we're turning the Born to Watch blowtorch on the 2000 British crime drama "Sexy Beast", directed by Jonathan Glazer in his feature film debut. This movie is a riveting exploration of the criminal underworld, marked by outstanding performances, sharp dialogue, and an intriguing blend of violence and dark humour. Let's dissect what makes this film a standout in its genre and why it remains a compelling watch two decades later.Plot Overview"Sexy Beast" follows the story of Gal Dove (Ray Winstone), a retired safecracker living a blissful life in a sun-soaked Spanish villa with his wife, DeeDee (Amanda Redman). Their idyllic existence is shattered by the arrival of Don Logan (Ben Kingsley), a psychotic gangster determined to recruit Gal for one last heist back in London. What unfolds is a tense, psychological battle of wills as Gal tries to resist being dragged back into a life he desperately wants to leave behind.Character Development and PerformancesAt the heart of "Sexy Beast" are its complex characters and the phenomenal performances that bring them to life. Ray Winstone's portrayal of Gal Dove embodies a man caught between his peaceful present and a violent past. Winstone's portrayal is nuanced, showing Gal's vulnerability, deep love for DeeDee, and his palpable fear of Don Logan.Ben Kingsley, however, steals the show as Don Logan. Kingsley's performance is nothing short of electrifying. He transforms into a menacing force of nature, delivering lines with a terrifying and captivating ferocity. His portrayal of Logan earned him numerous accolades, including an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. The dynamic between Winstone and Kingsley drives much of the film's tension, with their scenes together crackling with intensity.Amanda Redman as DeeDee and Ian McShane as the enigmatic crime boss Teddy Bass also deliver strong performances, adding depth to the narrative. Redman's DeeDee is more than just a supportive spouse; she's a strong, grounding presence in Gal's life. McShane's Teddy Bass, on the other hand, exudes a quiet, chilling menace that complements Kingsley's more overtly violent Logan.Cinematography and DirectionJonathan Glazer's direction in "Sexy Beast" is assured and stylistically bold. The film opens with a memorable sequence of Gal sunbathing by his pool, set to the tune of Dean Martin's "Sway," immediately establishing the movie's unique tone. Glazer employs a visual style that juxtaposes the bright, serene Spanish landscapes with London's dark, gritty underworld. This contrast highlights the dichotomy of Gal's two worlds and enhances the film's thematic tension.Cinematographer Ivan Bird's work is noteworthy for its striking imagery and composition. Colour and light play a significant role in setting the mood. The sun-drenched scenes in Spain are warm and inviting, creating a sense of tranquillity that is constantly under threat. In contrast, the London scenes are darker and more claustrophobic, reflecting the dangerous, suffocating nature of the criminal world Gal is trying to escape.Script and DialogueLouis Mellis and David Scinto's script is a masterclass of tension and character study. The dialogue is sharp, witty, and often laced with dark humour. Don Logan's relentless barrage of insults and threats is horrifying and perversely entertaining, showcasing the writers' skill in creating a repellent and fascinating character.The script also delves into themes of fear, loyalty, and the struggle for redemption. Gal's internal conflict is palpable, and his interactions with DeeDee provide a poignant counterpoint to the film's more violent elements. The writing ensures that "Sexy Beast" is not just a crime thriller but also a deeply human story about a man grappling with his past and yearning for a peaceful future.Cultural Impact and Legacy"Sexy Beast" was released to critical acclaim, praised for its innovative direction, strong performances, and intense narrative. Ben Kingsley's portrayal of Don Logan has become iconic, often cited as one of the greatest villain performances in cinema history. The film's success marked Jonathan Glazer as a director to watch, leading to his later acclaimed works such as "Birth" and "Under the Skin."The film also stands out for its unique approach to the crime genre, blending elements of psychological drama with dark humor. Its influence can be seen in later films that seek to explore the inner lives of criminals with similar depth and complexity.In "Sexy Beast," we find a film that is as captivating as it is unsettling. Its exploration of the criminal psyche, outstanding performances, and stylish direction make it a standout in the crime genre. As we revisit this modern classic, we're reminded of the power of cinema to create characters that linger in our minds and stories that challenge our perceptions.We hope you enjoyed this deep dive into "Sexy Beast."

The Northern Mental Health Nursing Qualitative Research Forum meets three times a year to connect Mental Health Nurse researchers interested in, and conducting, qualitative research, methodologies and innovations. If you wish to be added to the mailing list, please contact james.turner@shu.ac.uk. The following session was recorded at their fifth event on Friday 3 May 2024. With thanks to Prof Karen Wright and Dr James Turner for organising the event and the invitation to support with recording the sessions. Author: Sarah Traill Title: Making sense of the feedback experience: An interpretative phenomenological analytic study exploring the lived experiences of student mental health nurses receiving written feedback on their assessments. Abstract: The aim of providing students with written assessment feedback is to support future development (Carless & Boud 2018; Hattie & Timperley 2007; Pitt & Quinlan 2022; Winstone & Nash 2016). Feedback itself has been identified as having a powerful effect on learning and development (Hattie & Timperley 2007; Wisniewski, Ziere & Hattie 2019). In an age of neoliberal marketized education, feedback is a common source of students' dissatisfaction and thus detrimentally affects NSS and TEF outcomes (Winstone & Carless 2021; Winstone, Ajjawi & Boud 2021). In an attempt to enhance students' satisfaction and league table position, HE institutions have focused their efforts on consistency and standardisation of assessment feedback practices, yet satisfaction with assessment feedback remains poor (Winstone, Ajjawi & Boud 2021). This research explores the phenomena using IPA to draw out idiographic and group experiential themes that capture how students make sense of the feedback experience. This research considers feedback from an interconnected perspective, exploring the students understanding of themselves and their position in the world of education. The research identified two key conceptual themes of “Educational Baggage” and “The mediating influence of relationships”. Rather than approaches which game the NSS and TEF metrics, this research highlight the importance of authentic learner centred approaches to assessment feedback. The resulting principles of practice and recommendations offer flexible, adaptable, and efficient routes towards enhanced student engagement, agency, attainment and satisfaction.
