Flash forward 2009 – the world goes into a global recession. When The World Breaks looks at creativity and survival in desperate times, specifically during the Great Depression of the 1930s, drawing parallels to our current recession. Extreme times bring heightened creativity and innovation The Depression-era saw burgeoning art, cinema, literature, music, architecture, entertainment, culture, and politics. By looking back, we discover new ways to see ourselves today. When the world breaks, artistic revolutions erupt and people awaken to become stronger – and more expressive. Filmed across the United States and Japan, the film includes rare film images from the period, when amateur and professional filmmakers were experimenting with brand new technologies and methods to tell stories. When The World Breaks takes audiences beyond the bread lines and dust bowls into a vibrant story of one of the most formative decades in American history. Director Fjellestad interviews celebrities and people who lived through the Depression from writer Ray Bradbury to actress Phyllis Diller. The audience also hears from contemporary experts in the Depression era. 24 October 1929: Black Thursday plunged the world into its darkest time in modern economic history.

V48HOURS returns for its 8th year, attracting everyone from skilled filmmakers to enthusiastic newcomers. This year over 650 team leaders will assemble squads (of up to 9,000+ people) to create 650 short films in just one weekend. Past winners have gone on to create acclaimed short films, feature films, television shows and even an Oscar nomination. V48HOURS shorts are first screened in heats throughout New Zealand cinemas, before the best are selected to compete against Peter Jackson's Wildcard picks on a two-week C4 television series that builds to a Grand Final, with just one film being crowned the Grand National Champ, winning a monumental package from a $100,000 prize pool. Registration begins on March 1st online at (www.48hours.co.nz) V48HOURS past winners have included the talented likes of Taika Waititi (Eagle Vs Shark, Boy), Gerard Johnstone (The Jaquie Brown Diaries) and The Downlow Concept (7 Days). 2010 is going to be a sensational year and not just for that fact that Taranaki has now joined the regional line up. In the words of event director Ant Timpson; "Each year it keeps growing and each year it produces a couple of works that can proudly stand alongside shorts made for tens of thousands of dollars. This year I'm really hoping some of the long term teams push themselves and produce works that subvert and deconstruct. Anything that results in highly original and maybe even visually deranged shorts is good in my book. We are at the edge of the digital frontier, so teams should be firing creative flaming arrows and burning down the status quo. Taranaki teams have participated previously but this year we're opening the floodgates to all teams from the region to showcase the considerable talent with their own competition". V Energy, the long term partner of the event have decided to sign on as official naming rights sponsor for an additional three years, which in these recessionary times is a show of remarkable faith for the event and the talent that is being fostered. Last years winner of the competition, the animated short "Charlotte" was picked up by the New Zealand Film Commission, who have come back onboard again with increased financial support for the competition and prize pool. NZFC CEO Graeme Mason explains “The NZFC is proud to support and be a sponsor of V48Hours. V48Hours’ philosophy is very much in line with our own philosophy, shown in our new Escalator scheme, that is, when teams of a like mind get together they can achieve great things in a short time with limited resources.” Teams that are feeling the burn of the recession may have found their goodwill angel in our Gold Partner Vodafone who are offering to refund the full cost of registration to the first FIVE teams who register on the official site from Monday March 1st, 10am sharp. V48Seconds the annual warm up competition is back for 2010, calling for all filmmakers to choose an epic movie clip from films past, reshoot it in 48 seconds with a savvy ‘V’ twist, and slap it up on You Tube. V48Seconds attracts anyone from amateur filmies through to those using it as warm-up for V48Hours. The competition is FREE and open to anyone – you can even film it on your mobile phone! There are tons of prizes up for grabs so make sure you get your skills ready for the V48Seconds launch on March 15.

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 08:34:00 +1200 http://www.95bfm.co.nz/default,195081,max-harris-on-debating-.sm http://www.95bfm.co.nz/default,195081,max-harris-on-debating-.sm 95bFM Ireland, Australia, Switzerland, Scotland — BA/LLB(Hons) student Max Harris has packed in an impressive amount of international travel this year. And he’s not about to rest on his laurels, spending the summer break at the Australian National University on a summer research scholarship. Meanwhile Max has clocked up an enviable academic record in his four years of study, gaining straight A pluses in all but one Arts paper (for which he received an A) and nothing less than an A in Law (with three A pluses). A mixture of debating — his major activity outside study — and scholarly prowess brought about his extensive globetrotting in 2009 as well as in previous years. It started in January when he was part of the two-person University of Auckland team which competed at the World Universities Debating Championship in Cork, Ireland. The duo reached the octo-finals (the first of the knock-out rounds) while Max was ranked twenty-second in the world. At the Australasian Intervarsity Debating Championships ("Australs") in Melbourne in July he represented The University of Auckland. His team got to the octo-finals and he was judged seventh best speaker. Recently he was elected President of the University’s Debating Society “which is very exciting”. One of his “top moments of the year” was attending the 39th St Gallen Symposium in Switzerland in May with a top Chemistry student from Auckland. This prestigious event brings together entrepreneurs, top managers, politicians, academics, decision-makers and students to discuss key business and political issues. Max was among 200 students chosen to attend the symposium on the basis of an essay competition which 1000 entered. In October he represented the University at the Universitas 21 Undergraduate Research Conference in Glasgow. There he delivered a paper examining whether courts in New Zealand should have the power to declare formally that legislation is inconsistent with the Bill of Rights Act.  He has been ultra-busy across the legal front, notably as a senior editor for the Auckland University Law Review. “It's great that we have a student-run journal, and I've really enjoyed this.”   Max has also been involved with the Equal Justice Project, working to establish a project for student volunteers to help out in prisons.  In addition he has fitted in some paid part-time work doing research for the Dean of Law, Professor Paul Rishworth, and for former Supreme Court Justice Sir Edmund “Ted” Thomas QC, (former Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Law Faculty). “Ted is an amazingly friendly and clever man, who constantly combines generosity and empathy with intellect. The faculty is so lucky to have him around, and he gives up so much time for students.”   He has also done citation-checking work for the New Zealand Law Review, working alongside Law Faculty academics Hanna Wilberg and Chris Hare. As for his purely academic work, Max finished his Arts degree this year, majoring in Political Studies and History. He completed some interesting Law electives, including papers on rights and freedoms under Professor Paul Rishworth, international economic regulation with Professor Jane Kelsey, counter-terrorism law with John Ip, judicial review with Hanna Wilberg, and Islamic law taught by Mohsen al Attar.  In his Law compulsories he enjoyed jurisprudence “taught excellently” by Dr Richard Ekins and Valmaine Toki.  “Perhaps most interesting this year has been my Law Honours seminar on public law, led by Professor Bruce Harris.  Every week we met and discussed interesting issues in modern public law: in the first semester we covered topical areas (like the role of judges and the constitutional future of New Zealand) selected by Bruce, and in the second semester we have had student seminars from members of the class, which has been fantastic.” Next year he hopes to get some of his writing published. “ I will be pushing for my honours work and any other pieces I have time to pull together.” How does Max manage to fit in such enormous range of pursuits — student and party politics are but two others — while keeping well on top of his studies? “At times it's difficult squeezing it all in,” he says, “but I try to plan in advance, work hard, and have very supportive friends.” On completing his conjoint degrees in 2010 Max plans to apply for a judge's clerkship as well as a range of postgraduate scholarships. “I would love to study somewhere like Oxford or Cambridge, although the States is also attractive with its range of public intellectuals — people like Ronald Dworkin and Jeremy Waldron — and courses on contemporary topics, like counter-terrorism and law and economics.” What kind of career does he have in mind? “I enjoy grappling with big-picture issues: the design of our constitution, the relationship of courts and Parliament, the division between public and private law. I think academia would offer this opportunity to embrace these conceptual dilemmas, but so would politics.  “I also want to do a job that involves dealing with and talking to real people: that is how I learn things, and that is what I want to be doing.” As a Wellingtonian and dux of Wellington College, Max is in no doubt that he was wise to opt for The University of Auckland. “It's offered me some amazing international opportunities and in the last couple of years I have had the privilege of working closely with several fantastic academics. It is great when students and academics can work alongside one another, and Auckland encourages this — particularly later in one's degree.” Ireland, Australia, Switzerland, Scotland — BA/LLB(Hons) student Max Harris has packed in an impressive amount of international travel this year. And he’s not about to rest on his laurels, spending the summer break at the Australian National University on a summer research scholarship. Meanwhile Max has clocked up an enviable academic record in his four years of study, gaining straight A pluses in all but one Arts paper (for which he received an A) and nothing less than an A in Law (with three A pluses). A mixture of debating — his major activity outside study — and scholarly prowess brought about his extensive globetrotting in 2009 as well as in previous years. It started in January when he was part of the two-person University of Auckland team which competed at the World Universities Debating Championship in Cork, Ireland. The duo reached the octo-finals (the first of the knock-out rounds) while Max was ranked twenty-second in the world. At the Australasian Intervarsity Debating Championships ("Australs") in Melbourne in July he represented The University of Auckland. His team got to the octo-finals and he was judged seventh best speaker. Recently he was elected President of the University’s Debating Society “which is very exciting”. One of his “top moments of the year” was attending the 39th St Gallen Symposium in Switzerland in May with a top Chemistry student from Auckland. This prestigious event brings together entrepreneurs, top managers, politicians, academics, decision-makers and students to discuss key business and political issues. Max was among 200 students chosen to attend the symposium on the basis of an essay competition which 1000 entered. In October he represented the University at the Universitas 21 Undergraduate Research Conference in Glasgow. There he delivered a paper examining whether courts in New Zealand should have the power to declare formally that legislation is inconsistent with the Bill of Rights Act.  He has been ultra-busy across the legal front, notably as a senior editor for the Auckland University Law Review. “It's great that we have a student-run journal, and I've really enjoyed this.”   Max has also been involved with the Equal Justice Project, working to establish a project for student volunteers to help out in prisons.  In addition he has fitted in some paid part-time work doing research for the Dean of Law, Professor Paul Rishworth, and for former Supreme Court Justice Sir Edmund “Ted” Thomas QC, (former Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Law Faculty). “Ted is an amazingly friendly and clever man, who constantly combines generosity and empathy with intellect. The faculty is so lucky to have him around, and he gives up so much time for students.”   He has also done citation-checking work for the New Zealand Law Review, working alongside Law Faculty academics Hanna Wilberg and Chris Hare.

Her research involves developing therapies to delay or prevent the onset of age-related cataract – the world’s leading cause of blindness. Cataract surgery is an effective treatment but as our population ages, demand for the surgery is expected to exceed limited public health resources. Alternative medical therapies are required to prevent or delay cataract development to reduce the need for, and expense of, surgical intervention. A potential therapy is the antioxidant cysteine, a small amino acid that protects the lens against oxidative damage. In the normal lens, high levels of cysteine are present in both the outer cortex and nucleus (centre) of the lens. With increasing age, cysteine levels decline in the lens nucleus, exposing this region to free radical damage. It follows that restoring or enhancing cysteine levels will reverse the age-dependent decline in antioxidant levels, reduce the need for expensive surgical intervention, and alleviate the pending cataract epidemic.

As an area of company law it is among the least accessible from the governing statute (the Companies Act 1993). Behind the statute is a long and complex history of equitable and common law case law, most of which remains applicable in New Zealand. This book, published by LexisNexis late last year, is centred on New Zealand law, but makes extensive comparative reference to UK and Australian law. In addition, the book draws on academic literature from the United States where corporate law scholarship has been a major focus for about 20 years. The principles of agency law form the focus of the study of directors' powers, along with the division of power between shareholders and directors. The duties covered include the duties of care and skill, duties to shareholders, the duty to act for proper purpose and in the company’s best interests, and not to profit from position. The book also deals with the status of director, division of power between directors and shareholders, conflicts of interest, directors’ duties outside company law, and the effect of insolvency on directors’ duties.

But the birds that divorced and found new partners had less success raising a chick compared with those that kept a former mate. Their behaviour suggests that birds must balance the benefits of waiting for a former mate to arrive at the colony against losing the opportunity to breed altogether.

The British Council is also supporting the visit of Robert Winston to New Zealand. The conference will bring together nationally and internationally esteemed artists, scientists, researchers, practitioners, students and teachers to explore the theme “Performing Excellence” from a wide range of interdisciplinary perspectives. The conference will investigate such issues as the psychological and emotional demands on the bodies of performing artists; how such artists achieve top-level performance despite ongoing, gruelling demands on their bodies; and whether performing excellence is inherited or can be acquired. Robert Winston describes music as an “art that gets closest to the basis of our humanity and opens windows of perception in unique and varied ways”. His speech will examine the way music has been, and is, used to manipulate our minds-- from musak in supermarkets, to the pipes at Culloden or the drums and trumpets of soldiers marching into battle, from Furtwangler conducting Wagner in front of the Nazi faithful, to Puccini at a football match. Other keynote speakers include K. Anders Ericsson (Conradi Eminent Scholar and Professor of Psychology at Florida State University), who will deliver “Discovering deliberate practice activities that overcome plateaus and limits on improvement of performance”; Deidre Anderson (Chief Executive Officer, U@MQ, Macquarie University), speaking on “A balanced approach to excellence: Life skill intervention and elite performance”; and Sylvie Fortin (Director of Graduate Programs, Department of Dance, University of Québec, Montreal, Canada), whose speech is entitled “The dominant artistic discourse as a health determinant”. “At the National Institute of Creative Arts and Industries we understand that the maintenance of elite performance is not purely an art form but also a science.

The theme for this year’s conference is Pacific Democracy: What’s Happening? The conference provides a forum to openly and critically discuss and re-examine the problems and issues that continue to shape the dynamics, culture and institutions of political governance and democratic rule in the Pacific. Delegates from around the Pacific including Hawaii, Australia, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Papua New Guinea, United States, Niue, Japan, Vanuatu, New Zealand and Solomon Islands will gather for the two-day conference, which will address a wide range of issues including human rights, political violence, military coups, constitutional change, traditional leadership, development and women’s participation. Sir Paul Reeves, former Governor General of New Zealand, distinguished statesman and eminent political mediator in the Pacific region, will open the conference. His speech will focus on problems of democratisation in the Pacific. The keynote speaker on day two is Labour Party leader Phil Goff, former Minister for Foreign Affairs, who will present “Pasifika New Zealanders in the new political scene.” There will also be presentations by prominent Pacific academics on topics relating to constitutional changes, political violence, human rights, development, corruption, peace-building and conflict resolution, alternative political systems and parliamentary democracy. “These are difficult times for the Pacific politically, socially and economically, and it is important to engage in wider discussion and analysis of issues in an open and critical way-- as well as to look for long term solutions. Unstable countries can lead to an unstable region; thus, both national and regional solutions must be sought with seriousness,” says Dr Steven Ratuva, political sociologist at the University’s Centre for Pacific Studies, chief conference organiser and president of PIPSA. PIPSA was established in Hawaii in 1987 as a forum for Pacific scholars, policy makers and analysts to engage in discussion, research and publications about political issues in the Pacific islands. The PIPSA general conference takes place once every two years in different locations around the Pacific, including Port Vila, Suva, Noumea, Queensland, Rarotonga, Honolulu, Christchurch and Guam. The conference has been made possible through the support of The University of Auckland’s Faculty of Arts, Centre for Pacific Studies and Equity Office; and the State, Society and Governance in Melanesia Project at the Australian National University.

A major study at the (ATCRC) is the three-year ‘Keeping Kids Smokefree’ project, targeting intermediate-aged children. The project, underway in four South Auckland intermediate schools, aims to reduce the number of parents smoking, increase the number of smokefree homes and reduce the number of children taking up smoking. Recently Dr Glover presented results from the study at two international conferences. Some of the findings include: * Parents seem not to be sufficiently concerned about the risks of smoking, rating it fifth on a list of eight public health concerns. * Biochemical tests for exposure to tobacco smoke found that almost 30% of the intermediate aged children in the study are exposed to sufficient levels of second hand smoke for it to show up during testing. About 15% of boys and girls tested positive for smoking. * Cost is the major driver for people to choose roll-your-own cigarettes, a finding that led the researchers to recommend an increase in the excise tax on loose tobacco.

Human Biometrics is the automated recognition of a person based on their physiological and behavioural characteristics. Physiological features are distinctive to each person and include facial characteristics, fingerprints, palm prints and iris patterns. Behavioural features are usually involuntary and include the way your write, walk, speak, even the way you type. By combining the two types of features, biometrics technology can better identify a person. For example, fingerprints are physiological in nature but the usage of the input device (e.g., how a user touches the fingerprint scanner and the pressure on the sensor) depends on the person’s behaviour. A car mechanic has different touch when scanning his fingers from a computer geek. Biometrics technology is a fast growing multi-billion industry as people increasingly seek to secure property, goods and information.

(Though fledgling singers alert, they are looking to expand their sound with a vocalist in the near future.) Aggressive, ambient, moody and heavy - Mothra will be live at the Masonic Tavern on the 18th and Dogs Bolix on the 23rd.
