Cultivating the past
What role did introduced crops and agricultural techniques play in the colonisation of New Zealand?
Associate Professor Ian Barber (Archaeology) describes this as “a profound, unresolved problem in New Zealand archaeology” and has set about trying to solve it.
Barber explains that there is rigorous debate over the importance of the adaptation by New Zealand Māori and Chatham Islands Moriori of tropical Polynesian crops and agricultural techniques to a temperate land.
“One extreme view is that the people who came here pretty much gave up on crops; they did persist with kumara in the warmer parts of the country but, by and large, they were hunters and gatherers."
“The other scenario is that they managed to successfully adapt tropical crops and agricultural techniques so as to anchor settlement in a number of diverse New Zealand places.”
Barber cites as an example of this adaptation one particular innovation in the growing of kumara: the addition of stones to soils to retain heat and facilitate drainage. He says that the kumara storage pit was another unique Māori innovation, to extend supply and keep seed.
“I will be excavating archaeological sites, both storage pits and also agricultural sites, to get new material to identify the technologies and, most particularly, to date those technologies, so we know when they were brought in and, therefore, we can infer how important they were for colonisation.”
Barber is undertaking the research with financial help from the Marsden Fund, specialist botanical research from a postdoctoral researcher, and statistical modelling from Professor Richard Barker (Mathematics and Statistics).

Chelsea have received an offer from a rival Barclays Premier League club for defender Alex, manager Andre Villas-Boas confirmed today.
Reports have claimed the bidders are west London rivals QPR, whose new manager Mark Hughes yesterday indicated his interest in the Brazilian.
Villas-Boas said this afternoon: "From what I know from my chief executive, there has been an approach from a Premier League club.
"It is a player who we have accepted a transfer request for, so we have to listen to offers."
Chelsea are planning to replace Alex with Bolton's Gary Cahill, who they have struggled to agree personal terms with.
Villas-Boas insisted he had set no deadline for a deal to be concluded and but was hopeful that would happen before the end of the week.
"Still an ongoing negotiation, not that we don't want it resolved as soon as possible," said Villas-Boas, who refused to criticise Cahill or his representatives over the player's wage demands.
"I'm sure that all of the parties are protecting their interests."
Villas-Boas denied that Chelsea had made a reported £25million bid for Lille star Eden Hazard but admitted he was a fan of the player.
The Blues boss confirmed Josh McEachran would go out on loan for the rest of the season - ostensibly to Swansea - after Saturday's game with Sunderland.
He also said Gael Kakuta's loan move to Dijon had not been concluded yet but expected it to happen "soon".
The French club have announced the move on their website, but it is not yet finalised.
Meanwhile, Florent Malouda is a doubt for the Sunderland game after failing to train for the last two days.

In an article first published Aug. 29 on freep.com then in its Aug. 30 editions, the Free Press reports that numerous former players, current players and parents of players told the newspaper that
A link to this page will be included in your message.


Extra loud horns, continuous honking for no apparent reason and musical horns seem to be looked upon as a boon for the vehicle owner but the bane of our society. A recent survey conducted revealed that Mumbai honks 18 million (1.8 crore) times in an hour while the situation across the country is no better.
These extra loud horns lead to numerous problems. Not only does it distract, confuse and startle persons on the road but also disturbs the aged and infirm in residential areas and on roads near hospital, schools and places of worship. Statistics show that it is these loud horns that leads to growing problems with hearing loss and damaged ear drums in India.
However, there seems to been some hope in sight with Indian roads likely to get less noisy. The Government is planning to reduce noise levels of horns on vehicles to under 100 decibels, a reduction of 10% from the current maximum permissible limits.
Abhay Damle, Joint Secretary at the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways had informed that as per Central Motor Vehicle Regulations, noise range of horns which is currently between 93-112 decibels will be brought down to 88 decibels with the maximum limit at just under 100 decibels.
Following several rounds of discussions with auto manufacturers and Society of India Automobile Manufacturers, all efforts are being made to reduce noise pollution. Times of India have also run a ‘No Honking’ campaign while Rohit Baluja, President of Institute of Road Traffic Education also stated that there is no proper enforcement though there is legislation against pressure horns and unnecessary honking.
Car owners in India take pride in having loud and blaring horns. There is also the problem of multitone horns which are an aftermarket fitment that have decibel levels which are much higher than the permitted decibel levels as per motor vehicle rules. In fact, a top official with a luxury automaker has stated that horns fitted on vehicles in India are of a higher degree as compared to those sold in global markets.
Even the National Green Tribunal has argued this issue of loud horns but enforcement seems to be an issue. Let us hope this new Government initiative will have a more positive impact in bringing down decibel levels of vehicle horns in India to more tolerable limits.

"Shopping and History" Top 5 Page for this destination Lagos by Balam
Lagos Travel Guide: 254 reviews and 639 photos
Lagos has certainly played a very important part in the discovery of many parts of the world, It was from this very harbour that Vasco da Gama sailed in 1499 on his historic and epic voyage of discovery but it?s history dates back far further than that. The Romans gave the name of ?Lacobriga? to the town although it was probably occupied much earlier.
When the Moors came they then called the town "Zawaia" Although captured from the Moors in 1189 it was not until 1249 that it was finally conquered by Dom Afonso III making it part of Portugal and giving it the name of "Lagus".
Lagos was the capital of the Algarve from 1578 until 1756 and there are still many ancient buildings.
It was from Lagos that many maritime expeditions set sail to discover the world and many at the orders of Prince Henry the Navigator.
In 1587 Sir Francis Drake of England failed in his attempt to raid Lagos and so sailed on to Sagres where he sacked the historic home of Henry the Navigator.
Lagos is now an important tourist town that still has many architectural signs of its ancient and somewhat controversial past with a building dating back to around 1445 that has been recorded as being Europe?s first building to be used as a slave market.
The Town walls do for the most part remain although many sections have been restored.
Guarding the entrance to the Harbour is the Forte da Ponta da Bandeira " fort at the Flag point" whose real name is actually Fortaleza Nossa Senhora da Penha de franca which was constructed at the end of the 17th Century at the mouth of the river which flows around Lagos, The fort because of its strategic position provides an ocean gateway defending the city of Lagos from attack by enemy ships entering the bay.
Lagos has many shops ranging from local crafts to fine goods from all parts of the world. For those foodies amongst us it has a fine market on 2 floors. The ground floor being all fish with a very wide selection including some very strange and unusual types.
- Cons:Maybe parking could be a problem in busy season
- In a nutshell:A great all rounder
This is a large Restaurant on the main road that goes along side the river front at Lagos, It caters for people just... more travel advice
We called here for lunch as it's bright yellow and green tables and chairs catch your eye and we wanted to go somewhere... more travel advice

She also mentioned she's noticed that his right eye pulls to the inside when he's focusing on something. Wonderful. Zack had to have surgery for that exact same issue. So now I need to get him in to his dr and ask for a referral to children's. zacks eye dr wasn't with children's, and while the dr was nice, the nurses didn't seem to understand his sensory issues after surgery and werent very patient with him.
Anyway, he's still doing very well. He's not interacting much with the other kids, doesn't initiate contact or anything, and can't tell me the names of any if the kids. But, he's participating in circle time, learning, and will talk to his teacher. So, overall, still on a good note :)

CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS
Building the School-Community Connector Role
Jody Kretzmann is leading a three-year research project supported by the Chicago Community Trust that will begin to institutionalize a new mechanism for creating mutually productive relationships between local schools and their surrounding communities. By defining the role of the school-community connector and building the capacity of individuals in this role, this project will (a) help schools position themselves to secure new pedagogical resources and political support for school funding and (b) help communities tap into school assets for community building activities.
The project expands on earlier work with Perspectives, a charter school in the Auburn Gresham neighborhood, within the Chicago Public Schools system. During the first year, this project will explore the lay of the land at innovative schools in the Chicago area and around the nation, looking for examples of where the school-community connector role has been successfully implemented. In the second year, the knowledge generated will be translated into a variety of materials for use in further developing the school community connector role in schools in the Chicagoland area, and testing the recommended method for implementing this role in both new and existing schools. In the third year, materials — including lessons learned — will be translated for a national audience and disseminated through national networks such as the National Association of Charter School Authorizers (NACSA) and the Coalition for Community Schools (CCS).

Neighborhood Health Status Improvement
Deborah Puntenney is leading a five-year project in Rochester, New York, that uses asset-based community development principles and practices to help community coalitions improve the health status of their neighborhoods. Supported by the Greater Rochester Health Foundation, three central-city coalitions and one rural coalition have been selected for multi-year funding for the research, design and implementation of strategic health improvement plans for their local areas. The foundation recognizes the fact that poverty materially contributes to poor health status, and that initiatives that target the health consequences of poverty must address the broad social and economic contexts of the community. The four coalitions will work to improve the health status of people living in their neighborhoods, all of which are challenged by poverty and other forms of disadvantage. Their efforts include broad plans that address the well-being of entire families, and initiatives that bridge the systems of health, education, housing and employment, thereby creating a healthy context for life and opportunities for improved health status.
Using a community-based participatory research design, Puntenney is working with each of the neighborhood coalitions to map local health assets, identify local health priorities, mobilize local residents, associations, and institutions, develop a long-term strategic health plan, and leveraging the resources they will require to implement their plan.
Building the Community of North Chicago
Deborah Puntenney is leading a one-year project in North Chicago, Illinois, that will invest in building a strong coalition of local partners— residents and local associations, organizations and institutions — capable of designing and implementing a community-based participatory research project that will inform and help define the coalition’s future community building efforts. Using an asset-oriented, grassroots approach, the project will bring these groups together, first to develop trusting relationships, then to consider shared interests, and the assets, skills, and knowledge each member brings to the table that reflect their shared interests in improving the health of the community. All participants will be encouraged to identify and invite other interested individuals to help expand the stakeholder group. Two strategically positioned community-wide meetings will provide the venue for community visioning and moving toward identifying what kind of local research the coalition might undertake that would contribute to establishing priorities and setting goals for improving the overall health of the community. By the end of the year, the project partners hope a major coalition will be in place with residents positioned as drivers of the work, and other stakeholders as partners in the work.
RECENTLY COMPLETED RESEARCH PROJECTS
KaBOOM! Program Evaluation: Building Communities One Playground at a Time
Deborah Puntenney led the 2007–08 evaluation of KaBOOM! and its community build model, through which it supports community residents, associations and institutions to work together to build a playground for local children. The project examined 110 playground projects across the nation and concluded that the KaBOOM! model was creating a positive impact in the disadvantaged communities on which it focuses, and in more advantaged communities where the model produces similar outcomes in terms of building community cohesion and strength. Puntenney is currently working with KaBOOM! to expand the research with a more serious examination of the impact the playgrounds have on children's physical activity, as well as on broader community engagement.

text: In this paper, I address the question as to why participants tend to respond realistically to situations and events portrayed within an immersive virtual reality system. The idea is put forward, based on the experience of a large number of experimental studies, that there are two orthogonal components that contribute to this realistic response. The first is 'being there', often called 'presence', the qualia of having a sensation of being in a real place. We call this place illusion (PI). Second, plausibility illusion (Psi) refers to the illusion that the scenario being depicted is actually occurring. In the case of both PI and Psi the participant knows for sure that they are not 'there' and that the events are not occurring. PI is constrained by the sensorimotor contingencies afforded by the virtual reality system. Psi is determined by the extent to which the system can produce events that directly relate to the participant, the overall credibility of the scenario being depicted in comparison with expectations. We argue that when both PI and Psi occur, participants will respond realistically to the virtual reality.

Arguably, many people use the word group and team interchangeably. In the real sense, there are various differences between the two concepts in the real world. As a matter of fact, it is essential to comprehend the fundamental differences that exist between groups and teams. Understanding of these concepts will help in developing, managing, leading as well as participating skills between the team and groups. In addition, in the 21st century, workplace diversity is very essential in every organization. The business world has become very competitive; hence, in order to achieve competitive advantage globally, the organization must empress diversity. The teams and groups in an organization must be diverse in order to meet global standards. Workplace diversity has various relationships with team dynamics within the organization.
In a workplace, a group comprises of more than three people whereby it recognizes themselves as a unique department. Moreover, a group entails individuals’ who work independently with an aim of achieving organizational goals. On the other hand, a team comprises of more than three or tree people who come from various departments of the organization. Conversably, their key objective is to collaborate over time with an aim of achieving set goals and purposes (Schermerhorn et al, 2005). For example, a team may comprise individuals from finance, engineering, marketing as well as legal departments. Undeniably, the strength of a team and group varies. For instance, the strength of a team depends on interconnectivity and commonality of purpose between the members and individuals. On the other hand, the strength of a group comes from the degree of willingness by individuals involved to responds to the commands of the leader.
Conversably, formation of a groups and a team differs. It is easier to form a group as compared to a team. Forming a group entails bringing individuals together with common characteristics, despite the fact that its effectiveness could be variable. A team could be difficult to form since it bases its establishment on complementary skills. Each member in a team has a function and purpose that is supposes to undertake (Schermerhorn et al, 2005). Perhaps, a group working together has a minimal coordination among the work group. In terms of structure, a group is not formally structured. A team ensures that everyone working is held accountable and demands collective performance based on complementary skills (Allcorn, 2003).
Workplace diversity is of great importance to employees and organizational success. As a matter of fact, workplace diversity is related to team dynamics in the workplace. A team working in a united manner in the workplace is very profitable and productive. Perhaps, a team working has various advantages which include increment of quality, innovation, and problem solving skills. Moreover, it decreases the degree of absenteeism and turnover in the organization. Every organization bases its success and achievement of goal on the performance and effectiveness of various teams within an organization. In this case, the team model on issues of effectiveness considers design, process, composition, context, as well as work design.
Team dynamism relates to workplace diversity as there is a correlation on the adequacy of resources, performance evaluation, reward systems and leadership. Perhaps, the diversity of workplace depends on how the resources in an organization are distributed within the organizational team (Levi, 2010). These resources could include administrative assistance, and proper equipment. In addition, leadership is also crucial since the delegation of duties to a team depends on the effectiveness of managers. Moreover, the relationship between team dynamism and workplace diversity comes as a result of the promotion of quality work. Teams dynamism ensure that teams work in unity; hence, developing a sense of ownership in an organization. In this case, the possessions of work ownership by teams’ increases customer care services and efficiency in an organization.
In a diverse workplace, the issue of alienation is eliminated; this is because team work reduces issues of absenteeism. Perhaps, workplace diversity increases the capability of a team. The ability of a team to deliver on its activities and achievement of goals depends on the skills of a team, which include problem-solving, technical, and decision making. In fact, these skills are easy found in a group that is based on a diverse workplace. Since, individuals in the team have different character traits that when combined increases the organizational performance. Another relevant traits found in a dynamic team are openness and conscientiousness. These traits raise team performance because it improves sensing abilities, which adds significant value to a team. Workplace diversity develops a tremendous workplace environment that is possible to facilitate easy learning from different individuals and allow sharing of traits in a diverse perspective (Levi, 2010).
Diversity in the work place does not guarantee high performance. Studies show that a diverse workplace based on race and gender does not perform well. Work place diversity presents individuals from different age, level of education, race, and sex leading to an organizational demography. In this case, organizational demography van be used as a tool to measure turnover from the teams. Moreover, workplace diversity incorporates various issues of diverse cultures, which is based on racial groups, gender, and ethnic (Allcorn, 2003). The availability of cultural diversity in a team strengthens the organizational team on issues of performance and adding of value. The size of a team is also another factor that demonstrates the relationship between workplace diversity and a dynamic team. The most effective and strong team comprises five to nine team members. The size of a team is linked to issues off skills and views that are contributed by members. Generally, when making a team selection it is advisable to focus on diversity, and consider individual preference.
Conclusively, diversity in the work place is very beneficial since it enhances problem solving, leadership, innovation and creativity. As compared to groups, teams are most effective, and its performance is high. Hence, organizations need to focus in utilizing team in achievement of goals. The world today is very diverse; hence, organizations should also adhere to diversity so as to be successful, in the world market place. In order to achieve competitive advantage the teams should be selected in a professional manner.

|Currency Name||Euro, Malta|
|System||1 Euro = 100 Euro Cents|
The euro (symbol: €; code: EUR) is the official currency of 19 of the 27 member states of the European Union. This group of states is known as the Eurozone or Euro area. The name Euro was officially adopted on 16 December 1995. The euro was introduced to world financial markets as an accounting currency on 1 January 1999, replacing the former European Currency Unit (ECU). Physical euro coins and banknotes entered into circulation on 1 January 2002, making it the day-to-day operating currency of its original members.
All circulating coins have a common side showing the denomination or value, and a map in the background. Due to the linguistic plurality of Europe, the Latin alphabet version of Euro is used (as opposed to the less common Greek or Cyrillic) and Arabic numerals (other text is used on national sides in national languages, but other text on the common side is avoided). The coins also have a national side showing an image specifically chosen by the country that issued the coin. Euro coins from any member state may be freely used in any nation that has adopted the euro.
The coins are issued in €2, €1, 50c, 20c, 10c, 5c, 2c, and 1c denominations. Commemorative coins with €2 face value have been issued with changes to the design of the national side of the coin. These coins are legal tender throughout the Eurozone. Collector coins with various other denominations have been issued as well, but these are not intended for general circulation, and they are legal tender only in the member state that issued them.
Malta joined the European Union in 2004 and adopted the Euro on 1 January 2008. Malta chose a "big bang" scenario, with cash entering use on the same day that the Euro officially became the country’s new currency (1 January 2008), and a dual circulation period running until 31 January 2008 during which payments could be made using both Maltese Lira notes and coins as well as the Euro.

Essence of electromagnetic switch
There is an existence of relays which was purposely used in cars and became popular in all over automobile world. It is used in cars essentially in order to control circuits and it will be especially helpful in times of over current passed through the circuits is an added advantage as well. Due to its huge demand, there are currently people are approaching the use of automotive ones which are available in all kinds of sizes, shapes and all.
A relays are popularly considered as electromagnetic switches. Its operation is carried out by mild electric current where it can perform on and off respectively. In short these are considerably named as switches which usually can be open and close the circuits. These switches by opening controls 1 circuit and closing another circuit in the form of contacts electronically. There is a protective kind of controls where it is helpful in preventing damages caused to equipments. It can be detected easily in the form of electrical abnormal position; excessive loads of current that strike suddenly, voltage levels change etc. Popularly these kinds of control switches reduce larger voltages is an added advantage.
Purpose of using relays in car:
Using this kind of switches will be helpful for protecting wiring from damage and all the devices resided in it might have a chance of getting damaged due to high voltages of current. So these switches will control all the devices from damage when the circuit switch is in on or off condition.
Currently there is an existence of electromechanical relays that plays an effective role in its utilization. Let’s take a brief note on it;
As discussed above, it is quite similar to switches but it functions electronically is the only objective here. Concentrating on the following parts and functions that include the following aspects;
It is a part of an electromechanical relays or a kind of switches electronically where it is usually beneficial for supporting relay parts and it looks like a Heavy-duty frame.
In the name only, it justifies that a coil is resided in the wire that impacts to cause an electromagnetic field environment. Actually a metal core which is present in it is wounded by this wire only.
It is known for a moving or a movable part of a switch. Its function is simply opening and closing the contacts associated. There is a kind of spring attached to it which is helpful for letting the armature to get back into its original position.
This is a part of a switch used for closing or breaking a circuit. In short it is also known as conducting part.
Hence there are extraordinary benefits in utilizing switches for controlling purposes and especially it is electronically strikes a huge popularity in the overall market.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Playing the Detroit Red Wings usually brings out the best in the Nashville Predators. This time, the first meeting of the season between the Central Division rivals helped the Predators find their offence once again.
Defenceman Kevin Klein scored a power-play goal, Vern Fiddler added a goal late in the second period, and the Predators held off Detroit 3-2 on Friday night. Defenceman Greg Zanon also scored, Martin Erat had two assists, and Dan Ellis stopped 38 shots in the Predators' best scoring night since Dec. 13.
Nashville came in offensively challenged after managing just 22 goals over the past 13 games and going 2-2-1 over the past five.
"We've been struggling on our power play lately, and I think that goal was as big as any goal tonight," Fiddler said. "Another goal from Zanon, plus we played really well and we got the lead, and it helped."
Nashville coach Barry Trotz said a lot of teams ramp up for the defending Stanley Cup champs.
"It has been a tough stretch for us ... in terms of goal scoring lately and if we weren't hitting it off the post, we were hitting it off the crest. Tonight we went to the net hard, and we got rewarded for that. That's how you score in this league. That's how Detroit scores," Trotz said.
Dan Cleary and Mikael Samuelsson scored for Detroit, which came in having won eight of 10.
Nashville always plays the Red Wings tough, especially so in the teams' first meeting since Detroit needed six games to knock the Predators out of the playoffs last spring. The Predators also had only the second sellout crowd of the season.
"Anytime you play a team you beat out the year before in the playoffs, especially the first one, it is always going to be a real competitive game," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said.
Detroit came in ranked second in the NHL with the man advantage. The Red Wings went 0-for-3 on the power play, including the final 1:28 with Ty Conklin pulled for the extra attacker. Nashville has killed 19 consecutive penalties and 37 of 40.
It didn't help that the Red Wings lost defenceman Nicklas Lidstrom early in the second when he took a puck off his ankle. Babcock said an X-ray was negative but Lidstrom couldn't return.
"It is certainly going to hurt any lineup," Conklin said. "You got the best defenceman in the world your team is going to notice him."
Detroit nearly blew open the game in the opening minutes as Johan Franzen collected a loose puck during a changeover and nearly flipped it past Ellis.
But the Predators started getting the puck on net on their lone power play in the first period. They grabbed a 1-0 lead as Zanon scored on a slap shot off Radek Bonk's win on the faceoff just after the man advantage ended, beating Conklin past his outstretched left skate at 9:29.
Cleary tied it at 14:04 when he skated up the right halfboards and flipped the puck top shelf past Ellis.
The Nashville goalie, who had his franchise-record shutout streak ended last March by the Red Wings, had the save of the night in the middle of a power play in the second. Pavel Datsyuk, who already had an assist on Cleary's goal, had a short-handed breakaway, and Ellis knocked the puck away.
"We got some momentum off that save," Trotz said.
The Predators then went up about a half minute later as Klein scored his third goal of the season at 13:24 of the second on a slap shot after Rich Peverley found him on the outer edge of the right circle near the slot.
Nashville went up 3-1 Fiddler's goal at 18:52. Erat had the puck behind the net and passed out to Fiddler in front, who then snapped it past Conklin for his sixth this season. Fiddler said the emotions are probably higher when playing the Red Wings.
"There are a lot more fans in the building and when the fans get going I think it creates a lot of emotion," he said.
Samuelsson pulled Detroit within a goal by scoring his seventh on a slap shot near the left corner at 3:00 of the third.
Notes: This was the sixth time Nashville got two or more goals from its defenceman, but it was the first goal by a defenseman since Dec. 8. The Predators improved to 5-1 in those games. ... Nashville improved to 9-1-0 when leading after two periods. Detroit is 5-7 when trailing after two. ... With an assist on Detroit's opening goal, Datsyuk has 12 points in a streak of six games. ... Jiri Hudler has 99 career points after his assist on Cleary's goal.


JOHANNESBURG – South Africa’s Business Confidence Index (BCI), as measured by the South African Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Sacci) in December, declined 0.9 index points from November’s 96.1 points to 95.2 points, negatively affected by less merchandise export volumes, the decreased real value of building plans passed and fewer new vehicle sales.
“In the broader context, South Africa has dipped below many of the longer-term trends of economic activity and financial markets in 2018.
"Though exogenous factors such as the global economic performance were relatively positive for an open economy such as South Africa, the country lagged behind better-performing peer emerging markets,” Sacci said yesterday.
The BCI was also 1.2 index points down on December 2017.
Although seven of the 13 sub-indices of the Sacci BCI were worse off than a year ago, the general assessment was that the present-day administration acknowledged the huge challenges ahead and the role that a sound economy could play in addressing them.
Sacci economist Richard Downing said among the most ominous signs were the net sales of bonds and stocks by non-residents which spiked sharply from R25 billion in 2017 to R125bn in 2018, which reflected the increased anxiety in investors in the country’s policies, particularly land expropriation without compensation and economic growth concerns.
He said the positives in the BCI sub-components included the South African Reserve Bank’s prudent management of monetary policy and inflation currently at 4.5 percent, well below the 6 percent band.
“They are taking the broader view in containing the inflationary process and that was a positive,” Downing added.
Sacci said business confidence remained on a moderate level throughout last year after the initial positive moves in early 2018.
“In comparing December 2018 to December 2017, the task of restoring the business and investor climate remains a major challenge,” it said.
Meanwhile, manufacturing production continued to rise in November, albeit at a slower pace, lifting by 1.6 percent year on year following October’s 2.8 percent y/y increase.
Investec’s Lara Hodes in a note said an analysis of November’s underlying data indicated that five of the 10 manufacturing divisions registered gains, with the food and beverages category, which holds the largest weighting in the manufacturing basket, once again the largest contributor to the headline result.
This sub-sector rose by 5.2 percent year on year and added 1.4 percent to the top line number.
Hodes said that while output and sentiment within the manufacturing sector had ticked up somewhat, indicated by the latest Absa/BER PMI readings and the fourth quarter of last year's manufacturing survey results, business conditions remained tough, with local demand still somewhat subdued.
“Additionally, operational constraints, notably electricity supply shortages and elevated domestic and imported input cost pressures, continue to hamper activity,” she said.
