Hawke's Bay rugby - Roadside Stories
Hawke's Bay's rugby team has a proud record of holding New Zealand's premier rugby trophy, the Ranfurly Shield. Hawke's Bay legend George Nēpia, who toured with the 'Invincibles' All Black team in 1924-25, was one of the finest fullbacks ever. In 1921 McLean Park in Napier hosted the first-ever international game in New Zealand played by the New Zealand Māori side.

Prime Minister Bill English in Gisborne
GISBORNE was a city of two halves for Prime Minister Bill English yesterday. The farming sector, meeting Mr English at Bushmere Arms, was receptive to his message that the Government had produced one of the best economies in the world and was capable of dealing with Gisborne’s “growing pains”. But a subsequent visit to Kaiaponi Farms resulted in an employee questioning Mr English about the minimum wage.
Robin Lane told him workers were struggling on the minimum wage of $15.75. Workers were powerless to negotiate in a region like Gisborne, where jobs were scarce and the minimum wage left successful companies with no incentive to raise wages.The minimum wage had gone up by only $3.75 over the past nine years. Mr English accepted it was a challenge to live on the minimum wage, but said the Government had made moderate increases. Kaiaponi Farms was getting bigger, which was further evidence of a growing economy. Mr English told the Bushmere Arms meeting that all New Zealanders — including the lower paid — would benefit from National’s management of the economy. The Government had produced a $3 billion surplus, and unlike Labour, would not raise taxes. “We are getting enough revenue to do the things that people want done.” A worker on the average wage would earn an extra $1000 from April 1. That would be threatened by a Labour Government, Mr English said. Low-paid workers in aged and disability residential care were receiving a 20 percent wage increase.He said that savings from local roading contracts would be returned by NZTA to Gisborne District Council.That was preceded by Mayor Meng Foon talking about the increasing number of forestry trucks on the district’s roads and Gisborne’s “growing pains”.“Isn’t it great that you can stand up and talk about the growing pains of Gisborne,” Mr English said.The same issue existed in provinces like Hawke’s Bay and his own Southland. “Frankly, 10 years ago we had given up on the idea of growing. We were holding our own, not doing too bad.“But now we’re dealing with growing pains. That is the kind of progress we can keep on making. We are up to dealing with those growing pains.”Mr English also announced young farmers would be able to buy Landcorp farms after they had worked the land for five to 10 years. The announcement was met by applause from the Bushmere Arms audience. Mr English said Labour’s “uncertainty” over taxes would slow down the economy.Several times during the day Mr English said Labour would treat taxpayers “like an ATM machine”. He did not understand why opposition parties were opposed to the Trans Pacific Partnership, which would help to grow the economy, produce more jobs and lift wages.“Labour have not made the case for a different way of managing the economy. It’s just the same old grab bag of failed policies of the past,” he said. Mr English also went to EIT Tairawhiti, where he lunched, and to Te Wharau School. At the school Mr English mingled with students taking part in the Bikes in Schools programme and spoke to room 10 students in the Ngahere vegetable garden.The students were impressed to meet a prime minister. “He’s a very good man,” said Journey Waiaraki.“It was fun, I have never seen him before,’’ Lachyn Moeke said. There was a light moment at Bushmere Arms. Before Mr English spoke at the meeting, owner Robin Pierson took him on a walk through the impressive gardens. Mr Pierson told him the lawns were mown by Tony Gayford, father of Clarke who is the partner of Labour leader Jacinda Ardern. “It’s a small world,’’ Mr Pierson said.

Virat Kohli bats for Ravi Shastri
Former captain Ravi Shastri was today named interim coach of the Indian cricket team for the tour of Bangladesh starting June 10. Shastri, who served as Team Director during the tour of Australia and the subsequent World Cup earlier this year, is a stop-gap arrangement for the short tour as the BCCI is yet to decide on a full-time coach to replace Duncan Fletcher, whose contract has ended. BCCI President Jagmohan Dalmiya has named Ravi Shastri as interim coach of the Indian team. This is for the Bangladesh tour and future decisions will be taken after this, BCCI Secretary Anurag Thakur said. India will play one Test and three One-Day Internationals during the tour of Bangladesh. Shastri represented India in 80 Tests and 150 ODIs for India and was part of the Indian team which lifted the 1983 World Cup. Shastri had travelled with the Indian team to Bangladesh in 2007 as cricket manager after Greg Chappell had resigned from India coach's duty following the World Cup debacle that year. In the other support staff appointments, Sanjay Bangar and Bharat Arun will continue to serve as the batting and bowling coaches respectively. R Sridhar was also retained as the fielding coach while Biswaroop Dey was named the team's administrative manager. Bangar, Arun and Sridhar have been with the team since last year's ODI leg of the England tour.

Are Koreans Human? | Min Jin Lee || Radcliffe Institute
The author Min Jin Lee RI ’19 asks, “Who are the modern Koreans, and what do they care about?” To answer this enormously complex question, Lee explores the will of Koreans to survive and flourish as global citizens, their enduring faith in education, and the costs of such a quest and what it may mean to the larger world they seek to engage. She explains that when she’s writing, she isn’t just writing about Koreans, education, or the diaspora—she’s writing about humans.
