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. Waleed can explain why we need Human Biometrics technology in our daily life, what the applications are of this technology, what the concerns are, and what the future holds.

The study provides new information on the prevalence of behavioural strengths and difficulties in preschool boys. Her research also tracked the progress of children with behavioural difficulties such as hyperactivity. In particular, the nature of their functioning at preschool and school, and their peer and family relationships. A unique aspect of Dr Keown’s work was the involvement of fathers, who tend to be underrepresented in research on children’s development. The study provides new insights into fathers’ and mothers’ experiences of parenting boys with typical and atypical behaviour patterns. pt2 of 2 Dr Keown has just completed a 4-year study of boys’ behavioural and social development from preschool to school.

Māori Architecture (Penguin Group NZ) is a landmark achievement in Aotearoa New Zealand, exploring for the first time the genesis and form of indigenous buildings. It assesses the vast array of Māori-designed structures and spaces — how they evolved over time, and how they tell the story of an ever-changing people. The book, illustrated with more than 130 photographs and artworks, is a sweeping examination across many facets of Māori history and modernity, including early Polynesian settlement, the influence of Christian and western technology; the buildings of religio-political movements such as Ringatū, Parihaka and Ratana; post-war urban migration; and contemporary architecture. Dr Brown, a Senior Lecturer at the School of Architecture and Planning at the University’s National Institute of Creative Arts and Industries (NICAI), says the book reflects nearly 20 years of personal and professional engagement with Māori architecture. She says the book aims to dispel false but widely-held notions of “traditional” Māori architecture. “Māori architecture as a practice has persisted through challenging times, and contrary to expectation there is a great diversity of Māori architectural styles,” says Dr Brown. “However, urbanisation and legislation have largely removed the hammers from Māori hands, which mean Māori no longer have the ability to define or change their built environment. This has led to significant social and political consequences. History has shown that Māori architecture best meets Māori needs when there is significant Māori involvement.” “This book represents a unique and distinctive contribution to our knowledge of Māori architecture and will quickly become a landmark reference point for researchers and others with an interest in this field. It is very exciting to have such a wide range of Maori architectural styles documented and drawn together in a publication such as this,” says Professor Jenny Dixon, Acting Dean of NICAI. Dr Brown is of northern Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Kahu and Pākehā descent. Her previous books include Tai Tokerau Whakairo Rākau: Northland Māori Wood Carving (2003, winner of the Best First Book Award, Non-Fiction at the 2004 Montana New Zealand Book Awards), Introducing Māori Art (2005), Māori Arts of the Gods (2005) and Te Puna: Māori Art from Te Tai Tokerau Northland (2007, co-edited with Ngarino Ellis).

The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will be held on 30 April at Old Government House at 6:30pm. Professor Taylor will also advise in rehearsal on the first-ever full performance of his reconstruction of a lost Shakespeare play, Cardenio. The play will be performed at Victoria University in Wellington from 19-23 May. On 22 May Professor Taylor will deliver a public keynote address at an international colloquium on Cardenio, to be held at Victoria in conjunction with the production. Professor Taylor is currently the George Matthew Edgar Professor of English and Director of the Centre for the History of Text Technologies at Florida State University, and is the co-editor of the Oxford Shakespeare and of the Oxford Middleton, and author of many books and articles, including Reinventing Shakespeare and Shakespeare Reshaped 1606–1623.

The University of Auckland and Victoria University of Wellington have joined forces to bring out Professor Taylor, who is this year’s University of Auckland Alice Griffin Shakespeare Fellow. At The University of Auckland Professor Taylor’s public lecture, “The man who made Shakespeare”, will explore a key figure behind the creation of Shakespeare’s acclaim: little-known 51-year-old London printer and small businessman Edward Blount. “He was the first English publisher to specialise in what we would now call literature,” says Professor Taylor. “His belief in Shakespeare’s enduring skills as a playwright virtually bankrupted him, but the result is the most famous book in English, the 1623 first edition of Shakespeare’s collected Comedies, Histories and Tragedies.” “Shakespeare continues to appeal to audiences around the world, and it is an honour to host a Shakespeare scholar of such international acclaim,” says Professor Tom Bishop, Head of The University of Auckland’s Department of English. “I have no doubt that both the public lecture in Auckland and the play in Wellington will enlighten and entertain their audiences.” At Victoria University Professor Taylor will advise in rehearsal on the first-ever full performance of his reconstruction of a lost Shakespeare play, Cardenio. Fascinatingly, the 1613 original text of Cardenio, in which Shakespeare and fellow playwright John Fletcher dramatised an episode from Cervantes’ Don Quixote, has been lost; but a version went on to survive in a 1728 adaptation. It is the 1728 play that Professor Taylor has used to create his script. “This creative reconstruction gets as close as the evidence and scholarly speculation will allow to what the original Cardenio must have been like,” says director Professor David Carnegie of Victoria’s Theatre Programme. Professor Taylor will also deliver a public keynote address at an international colloquium on Cardenio, to be held at Victoria in conjunction with the production. Professor Taylor initially established his academic reputation through his radical re-editing of Shakespeare for Oxford University Press, and he has gone on to become one of the leading international scholars, writers and editors of his generation. He is currently the George Matthew Edgar Professor of English and Director of the Centre for the History of Text Technologies at Florida State University, and is the co-editor of the Oxford Shakespeare and of the Oxford Middleton, and author of many books and articles, including Reinventing Shakespeare and Shakespeare Reshaped 1606–1623.

Stereovision is something all humans have. We have two eyes, located side-by-side, which are able to view scenes in 3D and, with our brain, calculate distances. John Morris and his PhD students are developing technology to recreate human eye-brain capabilities with cameras and computers – to film scenes in 3D. The applications of “intelligent vision processors” are enormous. It could be used to recognise people in crowds, in the film industry, with driver assistance, and extensively in manufacturing industry. But how does this differ to traditional filming technology? Film at present uses the equivalent of a single 'eye', producing 2D images without depth information. A single eye can be easily tricked – there are many examples of “tricks of the camera” where distance is distorted. Our eye-brain combination is so amazing, John says, and recreating it is an extremely complex task. Evolution discovered binocular vision over 100 million years ago, and we are still working out how to recreate it. A conventional processor still doesn't have sufficient compute power to mimic what the human eye can achieve (even at 3GHz!).

Based in Rotterdam, Liesbeth Bik and Jos Van der Pol have worked collectively as Bik Van der Pol since 1995. Liesbeth Bik also lectures in the masters programme at Rotterdam’s prestigious Piet Zwart Institute. The artists will participate in a One Day Sculpture project, which they have developed along with students from Elam School of Fine Arts. One Day Sculpture is New Zealand’s first nationwide commissioning series of temporary, place-based public artworks. Invited artists produce a new work that will occur during a discrete 24-hour period over the year-long series. Bik Van der Pol’s One Day Sculpture, 1440 minutes towards the development of a site, examines issues of free speech in relation to New Zealand’s history and the government policies that have determined its democratic society. Working with Elam students, they will reclaim the Band Rotunda in Auckland’s Albert Park, known historically as a site of political protest and activism. Bik Van der Pol have focused on the controversial legislation around the Electoral Finance Act as a starting point for the project. Over the 24 hour period Elam students will distribute to passers-by 1000 self-produced publications comprising of a series of posters that can either be dispersed individually or reviewed as a magazine-style collection of art. Bik Van der Pol work across vastly different formats. Spanning installation, temporary public architecture, workshops, billboards, live collaborative events and publications they explore the potential of art to produce and transmit knowledge. The two artists collaboratively question “How can art maintain a space for difference in contemporary culture?” During their residency at Elam Bik Van der Pol will also present a public lecture on their practice and their sculpture project. The lecture, which is free and open to the public, will be held at 6pm on Tuesday April 7 in the Elam Lecture Theatre (20 Whittaker Place).

Animal Law in Australasia, the first scholarly book on the topic published in this part of the world, is co-edited by Peter Sankoff, a senior lecturer in law at The University of Auckland. It is surprising that such a book has been so long in coming, says Mr Sankoff. “Post-colonial Australia and New Zealand were built in part upon the backs of animals. “Today, farmers raise several hundred million animals for slaughter every year, and animal-based industries producing meat, dairy products, eggs and wool form a key part of our economies.” Until recently animals were regarded as property and could be treated as their owners saw fit. “We could breed them, sell them, kill them – even torture them – without running foul of any law.” The once radical notion that pain and suffering on animals by humans should be constrained is now commonplace across the Western world, says Mr Sankoff. “This is reflected in elaborate regulatory regimes ostensibly committed to protecting animals from human mistreatment.” It is now commonplace for the popular media to debate the ethical acceptability of live sheep export, battery hen cages, sow stalls and other practices exploiting animals. “However, there has been very little assessment, or even understanding, of how the law addresses these practices.” The book, the work of New Zealand and Australian specialists in animal welfare law, takes up this challenge. It asks whether existing laws really do protect animals, identifies where the law is inadequate and proposes how it can be improved. Recreational hunting, commercial uses of animals in farming and research, and live animal exports are among issues covered. The President of the Australian Law Reform Commission has referred to the human treatment of animals as “perhaps the next great social justice movement”, notes Mr Sankoff. He hopes the book will stimulate dialogue on the nature of our legal relationship with animals. “The law’s effectiveness in addressing the treatment of animals needs to be fervently discussed and debated instead of marginalised and ignored. Perhaps the greatest obstacle to their better legal treatment is passivity and ongoing acceptance of the status quo.” Animal protection under scrutiny The fraught legal relationship between humans and animals is explored in a book being launched in Auckland on 19 March.

Disparate Pop Hello. My name is Yule. Sometimes I write songs. Sometimes I also record them. I don't often let my songs outside of my house but a few of them are ready to discover the world now, so I am letting them out to meet people like you. I have made a CD called "Aaaarrrggh!!!" from some of my songs I recorded and mixed these songs at my North Dunedin and Grey Lynn flats between 2004 –2008. One day the songs got Mastered at York Street Studios by Chris Winchcombe. They feel all special now. Each of the songs I wrote on "Aaaarrrggh!!!" tries to be different from the other songs on "Aaaarrggh!!!", but they all get along. They are all fun songs, but some of them have a darker idea of fun than others. I think it is because some of the songs are more grown up than the other songs. The grown up songs' idea of fun might be making out at the back of a Quentin Tarantino movie or poking a dead dog with a stick but the little songs would probably have more fun on a jungle gym or in the sand pit. In 2006 two of my songs escaped from my house. One of them 'Night Night' got caught by Loop Recordings who displayed it on their Air New Zealand Fashion Week CD. The other one 'General Dislike' enjoyed its time in the fresh air sitting at the number one spot on the Radio One (Dunedin) Top 11 and hung around for five weeks. It was also displayed on the Radio One 2006 CD Sampler. As the songs got older they started contemplating sex and violence a little more than they should. I think they turned out okay though, except for one which has issues (I think is because it is short). That one's a recluse though, so you might never meet it. I now have a band who plays with the songs with me. Some of them used to be in "One Million Dollars". We all have fun with the songs. Sometimes it is dark fun. You should come and have dark fun with us too sometime. Have a Lovely Day Yule www.myspace.com/yulenz Songs Played: Migraine Work Ethic Night Night Yule Aaaarrrggh!!! Disparate Pop Hello.

He makes and plays beats and raps and sings jazz standards with piano keyboard and voice. He is a white rapper in a market that is suspicious of things like him. He is so underground you probably have never heard of him and is not even on the computor. So this is your big chance to get a taste; jump like a monkey in a casino who has learned to play the slot machine and is winning. Mack the Knife. This song is a famous old standard written by Kurt Weill for the Three Penny Opera. Mack is a murderous business villain who enjoys the swindle and the ladies. Maybe you went to see the recent production of the Three Penny Opera at the Maidment. Just for the record I was doing it before they even thought of it. Probably. Geek Rap. An apology, a cringe and an act of defiance wrapped in a simple but delicious beat. Peter and the Wolf. This little track taps into our subconscious desires to find the "Big Bad Wolf" somewhere in our lives. Go deep into the woods. Find him and call in the hunters and wood-choppers, they can save you. But can they save you from... Yourself?! (gasp) Hopefully this all sounds good to you, the listener. Have a great day. I am Bird Boy.
