The lumbering elephant in the corner, the symbol of freedom, the subject of doomsday proclamations, the cause of the nearing apocolypse. Yep, the notorious VSM passed through its third reading last Wednesday. To be honest, I’m secretly quite relieved. Not because the bill necessarily brings liberty and rainbows to the students as suggested by ACT on Campus, but because it’s wonderful to finally have some certainty, and to finally put the VSM debates to rest. Two years of will she, won’t she has been a tiresome and destabilising road for students (not to mention fairly boring). And, because you likely share my frustration with the ongoing nature of the bill, I promise that this is the very, very last editorial in which I’ll attempt to make the bill that shall not be named interesting. So, putting the rhetoric aside, how will the bill affect you? Well, things won’t be changing over- night. The bill that shall not be named will come into effect on the first of January next year, which means that when you enrol in a university, you won’t automatically become part of the students’ association; instead, you’ll have to make the tick yourself. OUSA voted last week to have zero levies for next year, which means becoming a member will be free. It’s not that OUSA think their services are worth diddly-squat, it’s more a come-one-come-all measure. Unfortunately, while we now know where we stand re: liberty/apocalypse bringing bill, how it will affect students is still very mcuh up in the air. OUSA is currently in negotiations to get the University to contract for some of their services. If the University agrees, they are likely to put up their own levies to compensate (this is what Auckland University did). If the University isn’t into the whole contracting shebang, OUSA’s funding will substantially decrease, and the OUSA services will be stripped down. You can see the worst case scenario in the proposed OUSA budget (page 14). But enough of this OUSA stuff (unfortunately, there’s quite a lot of it within our glossy pages this week, what with the OUSA elections and all. Soz). Last weekend was also the Oscar awards of student journalism; the Aotearoa Student Press Awards (ASPAs). The Critic team cleaned up big time, taking home 5 first places, 4 second places and 3 third places, and winning nd2 best student publication in the country. Special congratulations to our lovely first place getters: Charlotte Greenfield, Gregor Whyte, Aimee Gulliver, Joe Stockman, Teiula Fuatai and Andrew Oliver (finally, the much talked about Dr Z, the man behind “Fear and loathing in North East Valley”, is unveiled.). I am super proud of the whole Critic team’s hard work. You guyz are just the best. Lots of love, Julia Hollingsworth Critic is a member of the Aotearoa Student Press Association (ASPA).

  • Gary Numan - Hammersmith Apollo, London - November 28, 2014
    1 Gary Numan - Hammersmith Apollo, London - November 28, 2014 by Mireille Beaulieu Original French version © Obsküre magazine - http://www.obskuremag.net http://www.obskuremag.net/articles/gary-numan-live-hammersmith-apollo-londres- 28112014/ Gary Numan’s recent concert at London’s Hammersmith Apollo had long been announced as a major event. This show was the crowning moment of the world tour Numan had undertaken in October 2013, as he was promoting his new album Splinter (Songs from a broken mind ). Undoubtedly one of the artist’s major works, Splinter garnered unparalleled public and critical acclaim. It even entered the UK Top 20 – the first Numan album to do so since Warriors in 1983. Gary Numan started this long tour in the US before visiting the UK, Ireland, Israel, continental Europe (but sadly not Paris), Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Photos: Louise Barnes and Jim Napier © Jim Napier 2 But it was also a “homecoming concert”, a return to his roots for Numan, who currently resides in Los Angeles. For the first time since 1996, he was to take over the Hammersmith Apollo, the legendary UK venue formerly known as the Hammersmith Odeon. This is where David Bowie killed off his Ziggy Stardust character in 1973... Around the same period, a teenage Gary (then still Gary Webb) would often attend gigs there. Then, with the explosion of the Numan phenomenon in 1979, the “Hammy” became for many years the London venue of his choice when he was touring. Gary, who was born in Hammersmith, obviously has a deep connection with the place.

  • A Conversation with Gary Numan & John Bergin Mike Ragogna
    A Conversation with Gary Numan & John Bergin Mike Ragogna: John and Gary, what brought the two of you together for film From Inside? John Bergin: Gary had just moved to LA and was looking to learn about film scoring. There is no greater place to learn about the world of film music than Lakeshore Records where I am Art Director, so that's where we crossed paths. At the time were preparing From Inside for release after a three year tour playing festivals. When Gary came by to introduce himself, it was perfect timing that we were looking for a final score to the film. For Gary, scoring From Inside was a great way to introduce himself to the process. For me, it was literally a dream come true, having been a long-time fan of his work. Gary Numan: When I first moved to the US I introduced myself to a few people to let them know I was very interested in working on film and TV music. A few days after, I met with Brian McNellis at Lakeshore I had a phone call saying that they were interested in working with me on a special edition of John's From Inside animated movie. It was exactly what I was looking for. John was familiar with my music so it was a low pressure introduction for me into the requirements and skills of film score writing. It seemed to me that I would learn a lot, without somebody screaming at me and beating me with a large stick, which is exactly what happened.

  • CHAPTER ONE What Is Biomedia?
    CHAPTER ONE What Is Biomedia? Can I Download It? Cultural anxieties concerning biotechnologies are often played out in the news media, where the latest reports on genetic cloning, stem cell research, gene therapy, and bio- terrorism all command a significant amount of reportage on current events. Each of these issues is a discourse of the body, and a discourse that articulates specific kinds of bodies (the body of nuclear transfer cloning, the body of adult stem cells, etc.). The issues they raise are difficult and contentious ones: In which cases should experimen- tation of human embryos be allowed? In which cases is human cloning warranted? How can engineered biological agents be detected in time to deter a bioterrorist attack? Too often, however, the solutions that come up are haphazard, ad hoc modifica- tions of existing legislation. For instance, the temporary U.S. presidential ban on human embryonic stem cell research in 2000 pertained only to federally funded research, not biotech companies such as Geron.1 Alternately, when policy changes are made, resolu- tions usually fall back on more traditional ethical models. An example is the U.S. pol- icy on human embryonic stem cell research, which in essence is a version of "the greatest good for the greatest number of people."2 That continued attempts are being made to formulate ethical approaches to such complicated issues is in itself encouraging. Yet, what often goes unquestioned, and un- contested, is whether the foundations on which such decisions are being made is in the process

  • Appendix A: List of Homophones
    Appendix A: List of Homophones Homophones are words that sound the same buthave different meanings. They are usually spelt differently, so that when written they are clearly distinguishable, but in a speech-based interface they have the potential to cause ambiguity and confusion and are best avoided. It is worth con­ sulting this list when designing spoken utterances as it is easy to become blinkered, thinking only ofthe particular meaning one has in mind and forgetting that a homophone might exist. The following list is based onAlan Cooper's Homonym List (http://www. cooper.com/alan/homonym_list.html), and is used here with his per­ mission. The original list attempts to be comprehensive, but this one is rather more selective and has been edited to include words that seem more likely to occur in speech-based devices. It has also been modified to reflect British pronunciations and spellings, and includes a numberof words that are not strict homophones but are close enough in pronunci­ ation to cause confusion.
