TechPresident Welcome to New Zealand Historic Places Trust Pouhere Taonga Mesoweb List of Nobel laureates Nobel laureates receive a gold medal together with a diploma and (as of 2012) 8 million SEK (roughly US$1.2 million, €0.93 million). The Nobel Prizes (Swedish: Nobelpriset, Norwegian: Nobelprisen) are prizes awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, the Swedish Academy, the Karolinska Institute, and the Norwegian Nobel Committee to individuals and organizations who make outstanding contributions in the fields of chemistry, physics, literature, peace, and physiology or medicine.[1] They were established by the 1895 will of Alfred Nobel, which dictates that the awards should be administered by the Nobel Foundation. The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was established in 1968 by the Sveriges Riksbank, the central bank of Sweden, for contributions to the field of economics. Each recipient, or "laureate", receives a gold medal, a diploma, and a sum of money, which is decided by the Nobel Foundation, yearly.[2] Prize Laureates List of laureates Notes See also References

Tracing New Zealanders’ Genetic History The Genographic Team has been in New Zealand this week, working with people of Pacific as well as European and other heritages to trace their genetic history. Each person does this by just rubbing a cotton swab inside his or her cheek. We will then take the tiny resulting DNA sample and compare it with the Genographic database, revealing the person’s place on the human family tree. An earlier post talked about meeting the Ngāi Tāmanuhiri community near Gisborne, New Zealand. Collaborating with the Allan Wilson Centre, we invited one hundred Wellington area residents to participate in the Genographic Project by swabbing with the latest version of our kit, “Geno 2.0,” to add their DNA to the project’s worldwide effort to better understand human history and migration.

Indigenous Peoples Issues and Resources If the poor must work to earn every dollar, shouldn’t the rich? Correction: This piece incorrectly suggested that data drawn from Christopher Faricy’s book “Welfare for the Wealthy” were from 2016. The figures, on federal Medicaid spending, employer-based health insurance, and Pell grants and college-related tax deductions, were from 2012. The GOP hopes to channel momentum from their victory of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into a push to overhaul the nation's welfare programs. The argument over which poor people deserve aid has begun anew thanks to incipient Republican efforts to harshen work requirements attached to welfare programs. It’s a badly mistaken point of view.
