HAF Work in Progress: Old Hong Kong Values in 'The Remnant' (Variety)

Old Hong Kong values are championed by first time feature maker Kwan Man-hin in HAF work-in-progress 'The Remnant.'

Another reason it is so appealing is that it is a film that stands up for the old-timers and people who tell things like they are.” “The Remnant” was one of two selected in the 2021 first round and was able to shoot last year. But, lately, a box office boom has been driven by the success of half a dozen local movies that have hit screens since COVID restrictions in cinemas were partially dialed back. A local Hong Kong distributor and an overseas sales agent are also on the shopping list. It tells the story of a former gangster who, upon his release from prison, sets up a laundry in an anonymous district and lives a quiet life. “The Remnant” is one of the projects in the Hong Kong – Asia Film Financing Forum ( [HAF](https://variety.com/t/haf/)) unspooling March 13-15 alongside Hong Kong’s Filmart market.

Opinion | Onondaga County Legislature candidate, Maurice Brown, hopes to improve housing, transportation and public health issues throughout Syracuse city.

[Food Recovery Network](https://www.foodrecoverynetwork.org/syracuse-university-/-suny-esf) and [NYPIRG](https://www.nypirg.org/) to engage our community. [www.electmauricebrown.com](http://www.electmauricebrown.com) to learn more about the coalition we’re building. I saw it again during my time in the military and learned that although we have a lot of problems relating to being Black or white, we also have a class issue that is interconnected and just as complicated. I challenge students and anyone reading this to educate themselves on our county’s government, and make their own assessment on who’s doing enough. [website](https://www.electmauricebrown.com/) needs to look very professional, my hair must look neat and my campaign literature can’t have any mistakes. I invite you all to visit my website, Whether it’s at the [Van Duyn center](https://www.syracuse.com/health/2023/01/syracuse-nursing-home-ordered-to-hand-over-records-sought-in-neglect-fraud-investigation.html), or by building an [aquarium](https://www.dailyorange.com/2022/08/activists-lawmakers-85-million-aquarium-approval/) in the middle of a city amidst a [lead and housing crisis](https://dailyorange.com/2022/02/onondaga-county-elevated-blood-level-lead/), time and time again we’ve seen the county putting profit over people. The problems you face also confront tens of thousands of other families living alongside you in this city. We need to promote more mixed-use developments — including both residential and commercial use — and affordable housing and change the zoning rules to make that more common in our community. They have settled for proposals from private developers instead of pushing for the housing our community needs. If we’re serious about those new jobs going to city residents, we’re going to need a transit system where city residents can get to work, be able to pick up medications and drop their children off at daycare. In my role, I meet with students one on one and help them navigate their experience at OCC.

Pasture land is also seeing a price increase. “Available land for sale is very limited.” “You’re going to have to bring in net income from other parts of your operation to, in some way, substitute or help pay for the land because it in itself, the revenues coming off the land are in most cases not necessarily nearly enough to cover the price, the purchase price,” Gervais said.

Saskatchewan farmland values register region-leading growth (Western Investor)

Short supply, high prices for arable land as farm revenues rise.

This drove a 12.8 per cent increase in the value of farmland nationwide, with Saskatchewan leading the West with a 14.2 per cent increase. Values in Saskatchewan peaked last year at $8,000 an acre for irrigated cropland in the western portion of the province, with cropland generally running between $2,200 and $3,000 an acre on average.

Our employees are dedicated to the future of Canadian agriculture and food. The ability to service debt and overall equity in the operation are critical factors of success going forward,” he said. Five provinces had average increases below the national average at 11.6 per cent in Nova Scotia, 11.2 per cent in Manitoba, 11.0 per cent in Quebec and 10.0 per cent in Alberta. “Challenging economic conditions could have been expected to slow the demand for farmland and the resulting price buyers paid for land in 2022,” said J.P. “The good news is that farmland value increases reflect a positive outlook for the demand of agriculture commodities and the quality food we produce in Canada.” For more information and insights, visit The highest average provincial increases in farmland values were observed in Ontario, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, with increases of 19.4, 18.7 and 17.1 per cent, respectively.

What Indian Family Values Are They Talking About? (BQ Prime)

Days before the government said same sex marriage would “cause havoc” and emphasised that marriage between a biological man and woman is a “sacrament, ...

Living together as partners and having sexual relationship by same-sex individuals [which is decriminalised now] is not comparable with the Indian family unit concept of a husband, a wife and children which necessarily presuppose a biological man as a ‘husband’, a biological woman as a ‘wife’ and the children born out of the union between the two—who are reared by the biological man as father and the biological woman as mother. “History owes an apology to the members of this community and their families, for the delay in providing redressal for the ignominy and ostracism that they have suffered through the centuries. “This was on account of the ignorance of the majority to recognise that homosexuality is a completely natural condition, part of a range of human sexuality.” The majority, it seems, has opted to remain ignorant. The members of this community were compelled to live a life full of fear of reprisal and persecution,” Malhotra had said. It’s worth it if it gives a greater number of Indians basic rights such as the right to buy a property together, the right to nominate your same-sex partner in your insurance scheme and the right to inheritance among other things heterosexual couples take for granted. The government says if they allow same-sex marriage, they will have to change a variety of laws. In our country, despite statutory recognition of the relationship of marriage between a biological man and a biological woman, marriage necessarily depends upon age-old customs, rituals, practices, cultural ethos and societal values.” Most Indian children don’t have access to good parenting—the gender of their mummies and daddies is the least of their worries. Kindness, nurturing and the patience required to bring up a child aren’t determined by gender. “They are forcing the priests to bless same-sex marriages,” Putin said in a national address [eight](https://indicators.ohchr.org/) international human rights treaties to keep children safe, but try telling that to the Indian family. Days earlier, politician Khushbu Sundar—the newest member of the National Commission for Women— [revealed](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ0eAaXwHFg) to journalist Barkha Dutt that her father began sexually abusing her when she was eight.

2022 farmland values trended higher amid higher interest rates ... (Farm Credit Canada)

2022 Canadian farmland values grew at the average annual rate of 12.8%, buoyed by limited supply and strong demand.

[increases in average farmland values for 30 years](/fcc/resources/2022-historic-farmland-values-report-e.pdf). Note that transactions do not need to occur for the presence of these buyers to influence land values. Agricultural producers and farm operations make the large majority of purchases. These buyers may be individuals, groups or other entities looking to buy farmland without the intent of farming. Demand for farmland that is well situated can help agricultural producers develop and expand their operations at a time when demand for ag commodities is robust. It is next to impossible to determine the extent of the presence of non-traditional buyers in the farmland market as there’s no single database across the country that contains all the relevant information. Farm size and the resulting economies of scale remain a driver of profitability, which can make this neighbouring parcel fit well within the strategic plan of a potential buyer. The decline in total farm area is smaller in other provinces but still noticeable everywhere. Our analysis covers the period of January 1 to December 31, 2022. Higher borrowing costs slowed the demand for farmland but were offset by higher revenues.
