  • Heart Work-Out Deep New Zealand Watching the Clouds Child Scientists a Word from the Dean
    May|June 2008 | Faculty of Science Alumni Magazine Issue 02 Heart Work-out Deep New Zealand Watching the clouds Child scientists A word from the Dean Election time looms: is there a technology-led future for our nation? As the election approaches, we have the opportunity to ask ourselves whether any of the major political parties do genuinely believe in a technology-led future for New Zealand. New Zealand is a small country and in many ways we do very well, punching above our weight internationally in certain areas (the dairy industry being the most obvious). But why do we have only one Fisher and Paykel Healthcare, one Raykon Industries and one Buckley Systems, when as a nation we have the expertise and potential to have so many more of these dynamic entities? Without growth and investment in the technology sector, we will continue to fall behind other nations. Currently, only the Government has the scale to prime the pump and invest heavily in a technology-led future for our nation. The Centres of Research Excellence and Partnership for Excellence programmes, both good ideas from the present Government, have focused research on potentially nation-altering science and technology. However, to kick-start early stage basic research, the HRC and Marsden funds need significantly more investment. The recently announced $700M Government Investment Fund is a good start, but this will yield only an additional ~$100 million per year, probably targeted at the land-based industries, of which dairy is by far the largest likely recipient. So where could the required increase in technology investment come from? At the moment, the Trustees invest most of our Superannuation Fund offshore, minimising risk but leaving New Zealand starved of investment.

  • Blue Card Concussion Initiative Frequently Asked Questions
    BLUE CARD CONCUSSION INITIATIVE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS INTRODUCTION The introduction of the Blue Card Concussion Initiative is the result of a trial conducted by the Northland Rugby Union in 2014. Following this very successful trial New Zealand Rugby has approved the introduction of the initiative in other provinces, subject to compliance with the protocols and practices detailed in the NZ Rugby Booklet “Blue Card Concussion Initiative – Protocols and Implementation Procedures for Provincial Unions”. PROCESS The Blue Card Concussion Initiative is an “On-Field” process introduced to enhance player safety and welfare. It enables the referee to initiate a formal process when a player sustains a head and/or concussion or suspected concussion injury during a match. If the referee believes a player has been concussed, or suspects a player has been concussed, the referee must show a Blue Card to that player, and that player will be required to leave the playing area. This player cannot return and play in that match. Further, the player shown a Blue Card should not return to train and must not return to play in any future match without first meeting the requirements of the return to play protocol, as set out in the NZ Rugby Blue Card Concussion Initiative Booklet. In situations where a player sustains a head and/or concussion injury at training or such injury is noticed after a match, team management must adopt normal care and responsibility for player safety and welfare by implementing the practices and procedures detailed in the NZ Rugby programme, Rugby Smart. QUESTIONS and ANSWERS Q.

  • Alcohol Advertising Group Submissions File 4
    10. DB has a proven track record of supporting and encouraging responsible consumption of alcohol, both bilaterally (through initiatives such as the Enjoy Heineken Responsibly campaigns) and multilaterally (through initiatives such as The Tomorrow Project and Cheers!). The vast majority of DB's beers and ciders are in the range of 4-5% ABV and DB produces both the market leading low alcohol beer (Amstel Light) as well as the most recent low alcohol beer on the market in DB Export Citrus (2% ABV). 11. DB is a large part of the New Zealand brewing industry which contributes a total value chain from grain to glass in New Zealand of around $2,200,000,000 and directly contributes over $700m per annum to New Zealand's GOP. The brewing industry alone contributes around $600million per annum in taxes (excise, HPA levy and GST on purchases). 12. DB is a responsible producer that has operated in New Zealand for a long time. DB is under no illusions around the harms of alcohol abuse and is committed to being part of the solution. We do not resist further advertising restrictions out of fear for our bottom line; we resist them because we do not believe they will be effective in reducing harmful drinking. We will continue to spend a material proportion of our marketing budgets on encouraging responsible consumption; we will continue to build awareness for responsible consumption and we will continue to support initiatives that we believe tackle the problem head-on. C. SUBMISSION DETAIL Further restrictions are not appropriate based on the evidence.

  • Forward Momentum
    Forward momentum JIM TUCKER finds out what Taranaki rugby is doing to make more history: “It was the BBC - Brown, Briscoe and Carroll.” So began the front page story in the Taranaki Herald Sports Edition one Saturday in 1959. It was one of an endless string of puns the paper’s rugby writer used to chronicle extraordinary feats by Taranaki’s late-50s Ranfurly Shield holders. The monikers so playfully employed above – it could easily have been Burke, Boon and Cameron - are a distant memory for most of today’s generation. But they’re far from forgotten at Taranaki Football Rugby Union HQ in Yarrow Stadium. As the photograph of TRFU chief executive Mike Collins shows, that great team dominates one whole wall of the meeting room, and as the union gears up to repeat last year’s win in the ITM inter-provincial rugby competition, the names of Peter Burke, Ross Brown, Kevin Briscoe, Ralph Carroll and company resonate as never before. One reason is the current team already rivals the ‘59ers on at least one measure – the number of All Blacks in its ranks While Taranaki had six at various stages between 1957 and 1960, today’s team has five, with more in the offing. It also has eight Maori All Blacks, (including captain Charlie Ngatai, also an All Black), and two in the Junior All Blacks. Not that any of this is particularly at the forefront He says the academy managers, Willy Rickards of Mike Collins’ mind as he and his team prepare and Adam Haye, spotted Vaeno during some high for the ITM Cup season, which began with a school first fifteen games.

The Department of Conservation has been fielding complaints from Ruakaka beach residents since a logging contractor began work a fortnight ago. The residents are concerned that their homes will be left exposed to southerly winds and that their children are losing their forest playground. Maree Wright said it seems ridiculous that with all the gorse - infested land on the DOC estate the Department should choose to cut down the trees which were valued by the people who live nearby. She had rung the office of the Minister of Conservation to complain but had not yet received a reply. “Our children would spend whole days making huts and playing in those trees and often when I looked out the window I would see people walking their dogs. I know DOC considers pine trees to be weeds but to me any tree is beautiful.” She said the clump of pines formed a welcome break from the vast barren stretch of duneland. Maree said she loved listening to the birds which nested in the pines and once a neighbour had spotted a kaka amongst them. “Its too late to do anything about it now.
