The Drua dominated the second half after scores were locked 17-17 at the break, the wheels falling off for a Reds team now relying on an under-strength Chiefs to beat the Western Force in Perth to play finals. Victory on a wet afternoon at Suva's HFC Bank Stadium lifted Mick Byrne's men (6-8) above four teams, including the Reds (5-9), into seventh to assure them a quarter-final berth. And it bumped the Reds back to eighth - the Force now able to shunt them out of the finals picture and book their own berth with a win over the Chiefs later on Saturday.

In 2023, the female slaughter rate (FSR) in the United States is 51.5%, suggesting that the US cattle herd is still destocking. At the same time, overall slaughter in the US is down 28% for the year-to-date, as overall female slaughter has declined at roughly the same rate as bull and steer slaughter. This means that while production in the United States has dropped, it will likely continue falling for the next several years. Parts of the US remain in drought or have not received enough rain to begin repairing pasture, and high cattle prices are incentivising producers to sell cattle to repair balance sheets after several years of relatively low prices.

On my recent visit to South Korea and Japan, the topic of foreign migrant labor came up more than on any previous visit. An architect friend in South Korea said that construction would be almost impossible without foreign labor. A Japanese friend in Tokyo said that the service industry would face a severe shortage of workers without foreign labor.As the COVID-19 pandemic recedes, interest in other long-standing issues has reasserted itself. In 2021, South Korea joined Japan as one of the few nations with a declining population, a milestone Japan crossed in 2011.

Today marks the beginning of Mental Illness Awareness Week, an opportunity for us all to learn about mental illness, how it affects people, understand what help is available for those who struggle, and actively engage to do what we can do to reduce stigma. This year's Mental Illness Awareness theme is a reminder that we must continue to work together to promote "Awareness, Access and Parity for Mental Health and Substance Use Care in Canada". For our government, this means taking a compassionate approach that puts people first and focusing on providing a continuum of care that includes a range of support services and resources that can help address mental health challenges and substance use.
