After a calf fell down a cliff in the Hauraki Gulf, a swim was the only way to get back to the farm. Luckily, local boaties were on hand to help.
The weary calf is then given a push to help it get out of the water onto the shore, and then up into a grassy area. Getting the calf to the nearest dry land was an impossible task because of the steep cliffs and terrain on the coast. An inflatable comes alongside, and people in it appear to be ensuring the calf can keep its head above water. Happy to share the calf is now on dry land with its mother and being well taken care of by the farmer. The animal’s head then pops up above the surface, and it easily swims the few metres to the boat. There are several people with it, and it has a rope around its neck, the other end of which is held by a person in a boat.

[one of the two cypress trees in the 18th fairway at Pebble Beach toppled over in a storm with similar winds](https://www.golfdigest.com/story/topped-tree-wont-be-replaced-u). Earlier that year, golf lost perhaps its most famous tree, [the loblolly pine dubbed the Eisenhower Tree to the left of the 17th fairway at Augusta National](https://www.golfdigest.com/story/how-the-loss-of-augusta-nationals-eisenhower-tree-could-be-a). There are ghost trees on other parts of the Bandon property, such as the new Sheep Ranch course. It not only serves as a target on the third hole “Sahara,” a short par 4 that rewards drives that get close to the stately cedar, but in many ways it symbolizes the mystique of the entire course. The “Ghost Tree” is a lone shore pine stripped bare by wind that stands hauntingly atop a dune ridge that must be hit over some 150 yards from the tee. Extreme weather in the past week has jeopardized one of golf’s most recognizable visuals.
Higher borrowing rates and economic uncertainty are weakening the housing markets - with slight falls in prices, and a more significant decline in buyer ...
The better news for renters is that you can see build-to-rent blocks under constructions in cities, including a vast one, with 400 units, on the Broomielaw side of the Kingston Bridge in Glasgow. Halifax saw a peak of 13% and in the year to October, prices were up 8.8%. But they are businesses which invest in assets, and their cost of borrowing has been going up. Growing regulation of the private rented market has also made it more costly to rent out, and those who have depended on short-term lets, through platforms such as AirBnB, now face further hurdles to register with councils. Changes in the tax on owning a second home for rental have squeezed smaller-scale landlords. And what of the private rental market? The more reliable indexes across the UK are showing month-on-month falls in price during autumn. Around 80% of mortgage holders are on fixed rate mortgages, and are protected from such volatility - until they have to refinance. A normalisation of interest rates, from the low levels post-2008 financial crisis, was long overdue, though it didn't have to happen so sharply this year. Not so much a fall in prices as a fall in the number of transactions. For years, prices have been helped upwards by the shortage of supply coming into the market. John Boyle, an economist specialising in the private housing market with estate agency Rettie & Co, also foresees a 5% fall next year.

We still believe the future of the cycling market continues to be bright,” says the Taiwanese manufacturer, as Merida insists its cash flow remains normal.
[According to Focus Taiwan](https://focustaiwan.tw/business/202212140015), the payment postponement will affect suppliers due to ship their products to Giant between December 2022 and March 2023. “Inventory levels should return to normal during the first half of the next year.

We still believe the future of the cycling market continues to be bright.” [In a subsequent statement](https://www.bike-eu.com/44412/giants-inventory-problem-raises-an-industry-wide-problem), Giant – while noting that nondisclosure agreements prevented it from discussing the details of the letter sent to suppliers – said that as the global bike industry returns to normal following the lockdown-related boom of the past two years, demand for low-priced models has weakened, in turn causing an increase in inventory levels and leading to considerable supply chain issues.
