A module (pictured) that will temporarily house the 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging system PAGES 25-28 was lowered into position on Gisborne Hospital grounds this morning. The MRI machine is expected to arrive later this month and will be craned through the roof. General Electric Healthcare (GEH) will provide Matai with the MRI machine and one of its own scientists.“It’s a platform package with some of the best hardware there is — software that drives the scanner and an in-kind contribution of scientists and other support,” Matai chief executive Dr Samantha Holdsworth told The Gisborne Herald last month. From this platform, Matai’s researchers can develop new methods to diagnose disease. After a month of testing and training the system will go live in September. A permanent building for the MRI on the hospital grounds is planned.

  • The Apple Mobile Special Interest Group Has Its Second Meeting on 30Th July, 2020
    The Apple mobile special interest group has its second meeting on 30th July, 2020. Five members were there. We started off discussing the fixed agenda topics for this meeting Photography o Those with iOS 13 can open the photo app quickly by swiping left from the lock screen. Another quick way is to bring the control panel onto the screen (swipe down from above the top right of an iPad screen or up from the bottom of an iPhone screen) then select the camera icon. Alternatively, locate the camera icon on the screen. Having the camera icon in the ‘dock’ is also handy as it then appears on every screen. o The camera has the ability to alter its default settings for focus and lighting by touching the yellow square that appears when the camera first starts or if you touch the screen. Touching and holding the yellow square allows fine adjustments for light. Touching the screen where you want the camera to focus on, changes the automatic option. o Once the photo is taken, try editing the result by touching the photo then touching edit. Have a play with all of the options and see the effect it has. You can discard changes at any time or save them as separate photos. Try ‘marking up’ making pen marks on a picture using an array of pens and colours. o Security of your photos should be top of mind. The best option is to store them in in a cloud computing service such as Apple Photos or Google Photos. In the photos settings, turn on ‘iCloud Photos’ to automatically send your photos to your iCloud account.

    New Zealand Journal of Employment Relations, 45(1): 14-30 Minor parties, ER policy and the 2020 election JULIENNE MOLINEAUX* and PETER SKILLING** Abstract Since New Zealand adopted the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) representation electoral system in 1996, neither of the major parties has been able to form a government without the support of one or more minor parties. Understanding the ways in which Employment Relations (ER) policy might develop after the election, thus, requires an exploration of the role of the minor parties likely to return to parliament. In this article, we offer a summary of the policy positions and priorities of the three minor parties currently in parliament (the ACT, Green and New Zealand First parties) as well as those of the Māori Party. We place this summary within a discussion of the current volatile political environment to speculate on the degree of power that these parties might have in possible governing arrangements and, therefore, on possible changes to ER regulation in the next parliamentary term. Keywords: Elections, policy, minor parties, employment relations, New Zealand politics Introduction General elections in New Zealand have been held under the Mixed Member Proportional (MMP) system since 1996. Under this system, parties’ share of seats in parliament broadly reflects the proportion of votes that they received, with the caveat that parties need to receive at least five per cent of the party vote or win an electorate seat in order to enter parliament. The change to the MMP system grew out of increasing public dissatisfaction with certain aspects of the previous First Past the Post (FPP) or ‘winner-take-all’ system (NZ History, 2014).
