Based on Gisborne Hospital’s grounds, the module will house Matai Research’s state-of-the-art MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine, a General Electric Healthcare 3-Tesla. While workers readied the magnet to be craned out of its plywood hut on the back of a truck, another truck delivered a shipping container to the site. The MRI’s components will be stored in the container while the machine is assembled. Assembly will take about a week, after which the machine will be filled with liquid helium. This will keep the machine cool enough for the electric current to flow around the tube with zero resistance. The coolant provides the level of superconductivity required to enable generation of high-intensity magnetic fields in the MRI scanner. Once installed, the MRI machine will be tested so it is ready to go live on September 7.

Over the past seventeen years this format has grown leaps and bounds and is very keenly watched by all stakeholders involved with the game. The popularity and the growth of T20 has led to cricket boards taking this format with uttermost seriousness and every major cricket playing nation has its own international team and domestic league. Over the past seventeen years the strategies involved in succeeding in this format have also evolved and teams at the international, franchise and domestic level are trying to evolve their playbook to gain a comparative advantage. Seventeen years since T20 cricket started, preparation for matches globally have changed from casual chats in team meetings. For coaches and captains, dossiers of 25 pages are common; these dissect the opponent's strengths and weaknesses, suggest set-plays, which are the optimum ways that a bowler can set up a batsman, and explain the best parts of the ground to target and which end might suit each bowler best This research paper will delve into a potential winning strategy for a T20 side.

  • Use of Force During Fatal Shooting in Tauranga Justified
    Use of force during fatal shooting in Tauranga justified Summary of the Incident On 11 February 2020, Mr Anthony Fane and his brother allegedly committed a double homicide at Omanawa Falls, Tauranga. They were later identified as suspects. At the time, Police believed the murders were motivated by escalating gang tensions in the area. On 13 February 2020, a decision was made that the Tauranga Armed Offenders Squad (AOS) would be deployed on ‘reassurance patrols’, starting that evening. Four AOS officers were deployed on a patrol that evening in two separate vehicles. At approximately 7.45pm they came across a Ford Falcon (‘the Falcon’) registered to Mr Fane, which they believed he was driving at the time. The Falcon was not amongst the vehicles the officers had been briefed on as vehicles of interest connected to the homicides. The officers had received email alerts that the Falcon was in the Bay of Plenty area, and wanted in relation to the double homicide, although there was no indication why. The officers signalled Mr Fane to stop by activating their red and blue lights and sirens, but he continued. A pursuit was initiated and continued for four minutes and 47 seconds, during which Mr Fane fired shots at them on numerous occasions while driving. At one point he stopped directly opposite a retirement home, got out of the Falcon, and fired directly at the officers (who were still in their cars). They did not return fire at this point due to a number of risk factors related to the location, including the number of members of the public in the vicinity.
