a non - executive director at the time , with a successful track record in rural servicing , particularly as a former managing director of pyne gould guinness limited , george agreed to be managing director of pgg wrightson to help stabilise the company as it re - focussed on its core business ,
anderson said in a statement .
pgg wrightson is a complex company , with interests in livestock selling , retailing , wool marketing , industry training , real estate , irrigation and seeds . they operate 99 stores and operate in 46 countries . in 2013 they grossed over $ 1 billion in earnings but their operating profit was only $ 46 million . many of their businesses are low margin .
pgg wrightson has a rich heritage of more than 160 years working alongside new zealand farmers to service their on - farm needs . our business today employs 2 , 100 people located throughout new zealand and in key regions within australia and parts of south america . we also have an agent network for key products which extends into south africa , north america , europe and china .
heartland nz says its subsidiary , heartland building society , will repay the maturing , unsecured bonds from cash reserves today . heartland nz , which was created through january ' s merger of marac finance , cbs canterbury and southern cross building society , completed the acquisition of about nz $ 465 million worth of pgg wrightson finance assets and nz $ 455 million worth of liabilities on august 31 .
one thing about which there is no doubt is that all of the agria companies and hence pgg wrightson are effectively controlled by alan lai . his control of agria corporation is itself achieved through yet another company , brothers capital ltd , of which he is sole director . it is an interesting example of how a relatively modest net asset base can be leveraged through multiple layers of holding companies to control a significantly sized operational company .
miles ' departure was the last of a rapid leadership shake - up at wrightson , with just one senior executive , who is based in south america , left from craig norgate ' s tenure as chairman .
the new chairman john anderson was brought in after wrightson raised $ 250 million to slash debt after its failed merger with silver fern farms , by installing chinese seed and agricultural research firm agria as a cornerstone shareholder .
i had an 80 acre rural lifestyle property with two titles to bring to market , and was not getting the service i was after using residential agents . i got in contact with pgg wrightson real estate and presented a variety of options to adrian . i found him to be very knowledgeable of the local market and opportunities . i ended up initiating a boundary adjustment and selling a small section to a neighbour , once again using a boundary adjustment . . .
his exit payment isn ' t far off the $ 4 million nz farming systems uruguay had to pay wrightson to cancel its management contract with the rural services firm , when singapore ' s olam international took control of the south american farm manager .
the big question for pgg wrightson is where do they go from here ? their agri - servicing division , based around their 99 stores , is somewhat caught in a time warp . the company has struggled for more than 15 years as to how to reinvent this part of the business . i recall a discussion with the then ceo some 15 years ago , where he told me that within five years wrightson ( as it then was ) would be a totally different business . but he could not tell me what that business would look like . in the years since then , there have been at least another five ceos plus de facto ceo craig norgate . this illustrates both the high level of churn and an underlying struggle to find the right strategy .
a key question is whether the seeds division , including the fully owned agricom subsidiary , should remain within the pgg wrightson conglomerate . if it were a stand - alone company , then it would almost certainly become an attractive target for one of the global seed companies . given that the company is already overseas - controlled , this could benefit shareholders , with no obvious downside for farmers . for comparison , the major local competitor in the seeds business is agriseeds , which is now part of the holland - headquartered barenbrug group
agria is itself an unusual company . the company website ( agriacorp . com ) states that their principal office is in shenzhen china . however , most of the directors appear to be either singapore or hong kong based . they are listed on the new york stock exchange , but are registered in the cayman islands for tax purposes . their major asset appears to be pgg wrightson , which is incorporated into the agria accounts as a subsidiary company . however , this ownership is actually held through majority interests in multiple additional layers of holding companies , including agria singapore and agria asia .
that was made up of the $ 3 million ex gratia payment , his base salary of $ 615 , 000 , and a short - term incentive bonus of $ 703 , 000 . his long - term incentive scheme , which involved 2 . 5 million wrightson shares , didn ' t add to the balance , as he had been extended a loan to pay for the stake .
for any new zealand - based long term shareholder , the journey has indeed been rough . back in 2005 , following the merger of pyne gould guinness and wrightson , the shares were valued at around $ 2 . 20 . in 2008 they rose to almost $ 3 , but then crashed badly . now , in mid 2014 , the shares are trading at a little above 40c . however , this is substantially above the 25 cents they reached in may 2013 .

frederic le cren and his brother , henry john le cren , were born in london , england . henry was baptised on 3 september 1828 ; frederic was born on 7 november 1835 . they were the sons of henry le cren and his wife , emma ann davies . their father was an exile from france , as also was their mother ' s grandfather .
from their greenwich home the brothers were sent to school at christ ' s hospital . henry then learned business in the city of london from the merchant banking house of frühling and göschen . he was engaged as an agent by the management committee of the canterbury association and came out to new zealand in the barbara gordon with his cousin , joseph longden , reaching lyttelton late in 1850 , just before the first four ships . in lyttelton he and joseph established an efficient store and accommodation agency . margaret fisher hunt , a scotswoman , came out from london to marry henry at lyttelton on 21 march 1853 ; they had seven children .
frederic went to australia and then joined his brother in new zealand in 1855 . by 1857 he had taken over the heathcote ferry , near christchurch . he married cecilia elizabeth mills in a religious ceremony on 19 november 1857 at heathcote and a civil ceremony on 24 november 1857 at christchurch . there were nine children of the marriage .
during the 1850s settlement extended to south canterbury . the total volume of trade increased , and coastal shipping was preferred to wagoning over the roadless plains and difficult , unbridged rivers . robert heaton rhodes , who had taken part in the southward migration , asked henry to establish a store at timaru , and to improve its supply by sea .
in 1857 henry sent captain henry cain to fulfil the rhodes ' s request , and to improve the arrangements for landing cargo at timaru , where there was then a difficult approach through rocks to a beach cramped by cliffs . already the rhodes ' s station , the levels , and the rudimentary timaru were placing considerable demands on the system of supply .
by 1858 , when timaru had grown but little , henry had a homestead , beverley , built on bare , rising ground overlooking the ships . when he and captain cain had got the landing service working effectively , margaret le cren came down with their first three children , who had been baptised at lyttelton . st mary ' s church ( anglican ) at timaru was built by 1861 , in time for the fourth child and subsequent offspring , and for many years the le crens were members and benefactors of that church .
helped by the efforts put into the landing service , timaru grew so rapidly in the early 1860s that , by 1864 , wool was shipped directly from timaru to london . the firm of h . j . le cren and company was engaged in that trade . it also acted as an agency , borrowing from financiers and lending to farmers .
in 1866 , the year of the overend and gurney failure in england , henry sold the goodwill of his business to miles and company . in the same year the government took over the landing service . miles and company continued the shipping and wool trade , retaining henry as manager for a while . the firm of george gray russell and company , established in dunedin since late 1864 , also set up a timaru branch . before henry had sold his business , george gray russell and company had been advertising for wool to ship home to potter wilson and company and was offering advances to growers . at some time after 1866 henry joined russell to form russell le cren and company .
during the late 1860s henry ' s astute business judgement made him a useful member of the timaru and gladstone board of works and the timaru municipal council . he also pursued land interests as a partner in simon ' s pass , peel forest and otaio stations . it was not until 1873 or 1874 that he sold beverley homestead , moved his completed family to london , and there joined russell in business , at 37 lombard street , to dispose of consignments from new zealand .
russell had found another trustworthy man to take charge of dispatching consignments from new zealand . he was john macfarlane ritchie , whom russell had originally recruited from his correspondent firm , potter wilson and company , in 1864 . ritchie had made good with george gray russell and company , dunedin , and in 1873 had been taken into partnership . george gray russell and company then became russell ritchie and company , and sent consignments from new zealand to the london firm of russell le cren and company . ( russell had wisely severed his connection with potter wilson and company before that firm became associated with the city of glasgow bank smash . )
in 1878 the recently formed national mortgage and agency company of new zealand limited took over russell ritchie and company and russell le cren and company . thus henry le cren contributed indirectly to the growth of another new zealand stock and station firm .
in the same year , 1878 , henry ' s wife died ; his daughter , margaret douglas , married philip , brother of george gray russell ; and the city of glasgow bank smash heralded a slump . henry withdrew from business and returned to timaru about 1880 , where he had bought another house that he renamed craighead . he died on 20 may 1895 . he was described in an obituary as ' a shrewd but upright and able businessman…in his grasp of financial questions he had few if any equals ' . well educated himself , he paid great attention to the education of his children , one of whom emulated his father by laying the foundations of another canterbury stock firm .
frederic le cren , sometimes underestimated , as younger brothers can be , engaged efficiently in several business opportunities that he found for himself , firstly at lyttelton , then at timaru . some of these business interests he shared with his brother ; in particular , his partnership in simon ' s pass station . like henry , he played his part in civic life : as a justice of the peace , and as a member or director of various public boards and councils at timaru .
when the timaru branch of the new zealand loan and mercantile agency company was established , frederic was selected as its manager , and held the post from 1875 almost until his death . starting at a time of inflation and over - optimistic borrowing , he had to apply the screw of retrenchment in the harsh 1880s , and after disastrous snows that afflicted the flocks of borrowers .
frederic died at timaru on 10 april 1902 . during his life he was bitterly and perhaps unfairly criticised in the letters of john macfarlane ritchie and the diaries of francis hayter . it would be more just to remember , with the writer of frederic ' s unsigned obituary , that he was a pleasant , genial character , ' good to get on with ' .

former managing director tim miles made a surprise exit from the rural services company in 2010 at a period of underperformance .
gould then came on board as managing director in early 2011 , having already served as a director of the board .
anderson said gould had performed his task admirably and whilse the board would be sorry to see him leave , his tenure was for a fixed and relatively short period and for a particular purpose .
the value of the company has been under pressure for a period since the departure of miles , said to have resigned after being confronted by a board unhappy with his performance .
another to leave from that period was craig norgate , who as chairman wanted to drive more consolidation in the company .
the shares had been under pressure in recent years , but during early 2013 had crept up to around 48c . but since then they have gone back to a downward trend . this afternoon the shares were down 2 cents , or 6 . 25 per cent , at 30 cents .
according to the 2012 annual report , gould received a total remuneration package of $ 1 . 5m . he did not receive director ' s fees ; rather his remuneration was payment for managing director services .
when the press asked gould earlier this year if he had any plans to leave , gould gave no indication he was intending to step down .
he had also indicated he wanted to get the company back to core basics , rather than go down an acquisition trail that had been part of the previous management ' s strategy .
sir john anderson :
the business is now ready for its next phase of development and i think it ' s time for someone else to lead the board through this .

last year they also wrote off $ 321 million of book assets for goodwill going back to the supposed synergies that were going to accrue from the 2005 merger . those synergies never eventuated . the market capitalisation currently sits at a little over $ 300 million .
the part of the business with the most promise is the seeds business . the seeds division has particular strengths in winter active pasture species . this has provided a strong foundation for business development in south america . however , finding synergies in china – very much a goal of the governance team – is more challenging . this is because chinese agro - ecological conditions contrast greatly with those found in new zealand where the plants have been bred .

most new flat - screen tvs have a digital ( atsc ) tuner . for older tvs with only an analog ( ntsc ) tuner , you need an external digital tuner or converter box , which can receive digital tv and show it on an older tv set . however , shows that are in high - definition won ' t display in hd on older tvs .
it doesn’t happen often , but it is possible for the tuner to be faulty on a new tv , right out of the box . the atsc tuner is separate from the hdmi or other inputs , so the tuner would not affect any other portion of the television . as a second step in troubleshooting , try installing the antenna and cable to a secondary tv .

once the transition to the atsc 3 . 0 digital broadcast standard does occur , it ' s unlikely you ' ll be able to use the atsc 1 . 0 digital tuners in current tvs . there won ' t be enough tv spectrum available for broadcasters to simulcast both atsc 1 . 0 and atsc 3 . 0 signals .
service description will also change with the transition from atsc 1 . 0 to atsc 3 . 0 . the atsc 1 . 0 system carried psip metadata about each channel in the extended text table ( ett ) . atsc 3 . 0 enables broadcasters to define service descriptions as well as service icons to maximize promotion of their service .
if you own an hdtv , chances are good that you won’t have that built - in atsc tuner mentioned in the previous section . your hdtv probably has an ntsc tuner , which can pick up analog broadcasts , but it probably is only hdtv - ready , so you need to pick up an hdtv tuner box that you can connect between your antenna feed and your hdtv .

6 . a broadcast data receiver according to claim 1 characterised in that the further tuner of the multi - tuner bdr is used to tune to the rf carrier for a channel predicted to be subsequently selected by the user , on the basis of a prediction made referring to previous user channel selection patterns .
given a baseband signal block from each tuner of 506 , and the feedback signal from the functional block 512 , the functional block 507 ( detailed in fig . 10 description ) will estimate the multipath channel profile and analyze the multipath channel impulse response and signal - to - noise ratio for each tuner .
a tuner converts over - the - air ( ota ) radio frequency transmissions into audio and video signals used by receiving devices to create picture and sound . ntsc ( national television system committee ) and atsc ( advanced television systems committee ) are two standards for television transmission that require separate tuners . ntsc is an analog standard that has been in place since 1941 , and atsc is a digital standard adopted in 1995 .
this therefore means that subsequent to the channel prediction operation , if the user does select the predicted channel , the bdr can immediately change to receive the data for that channel from the said further tuner which is already tuned to receive that channel , thus eliminating or reducing the delay which conventionally occurs when the first tuner was required to move between rf carriers , or the further tuner is required to tune to receive the channel only once the selection has been made .
there appears to be a loophole : devices can meet this requirement by not including an analog ota tuner ( see
march 1 : the beginning of the end for analog tv
[ cnet . com ] ) . for years we ' ve seen digital televisions with no tuners but lots of inputs for external tuners , and these meet the requirements . according to the article , vcrs , dvd recorders , dvrs , et . al . can skirt the digital tuner requirement by tweaking the analog tuner to only accept a cable tv tuner ( but not an analog ota antenna ) . the tivo series2 dt is a cu

the atsc tv demodulator signal processing program is based on data blocks . the data blocks must be processed in real time . in this example , the data block is defined as two segments of atsc tv signal . each segment of atsc tv signal has a duration of 77 . 266 microseconds and consists of 832 symbols with a sampling rate of 10 . 76 mhz . each single tuner digital if signal block ( 504 ) consists of 3865 or 3866 12 - bit data samples with a sampling rate at 25 mhz , which corresponds to two segments of atsc tv signal . the signal block of 504 will feed in to the if to baseband down - conversion and signal synchronization functional block ( 505 ) , which will be detailed in the fig . 9 description below . the functional block 505 generates a synchronized baseband signal block for each tuner ( 506 ) .
