Could new gene therapies help us live for much longer?

But there are serious barriers both in theory and practice.

Valerie Teraitua - 2015 Māori Public Health Champion
BODY:
Even though she knew her whanau had a history of high blood pressure, it wasn't until the arrival of her new baby two years ago that Valerie Teraitua realised she had to make a change in her own life, in order not to become another statistic. When Papatuanuku Kokiri Marae in Mangere entered the Iron Pasifika event in 2013, she saw an opportunity.
EXTENDED BODY:
“I weighed 136 kg's. I was quite a big girl and had high blood pressure, but I wanted to challenge that… To change what the doctors were telling me.” - Valerie Teraitua, PHA’s Māori Public Health Champion 2015

Even though she knew her whanau had a history of high blood pressure, it wasn’t until the arrival of her new baby two years ago that Valerie Teraitua realised she had to make a change in her own life in order not to become another statistic.
When Papatuanuku Kokiri Marae in Mangere entered the Iron Pasifika event in 2013, she saw an opportunity.
However while she wanted to take part in the Waka Ama leg, her weight stood in the way.
But undeterred, Valerie took up swimming instead and three mornings a week she got in the pool at 6.30 am and learnt to swim, all so she could participate and beat her high blood pressure into submission.
“What I said to myself was ‘It doesn’t matter where you come, I just wanted to complete the 1 km swim without standing up and taking a breath’ and that’s what I achieved,” - Valerie Teraitua

Losing 16 kilograms during that period, the motivation she received from her family helped her keep going.
“It was my whanau that said to me ‘Jeez cousin, you’re looking good, what are you on?’” she says laughing.
“So the inspiration came from me wanting to help them.”
And help them she has.
In February 2015 Valerie set up the Ladies’ Army, a free-fitness class held in the Marae’s hall every weekday morning at 5.30 am.
Starting out with only a handful of attendees, Valerie now attracts a dedicated group of at over 30 women, which means some mornings the classes spill out into the Marae car-park to accommodate the numbers.
The class attracts a broad spectrum of women from teens to over sixties, but nearly all share the same bond; motherhood.
A bond Valerie wanted to strengthen so each woman can go back to her own family fit and ready to tackle the day.
It’s a vision that was fostered by Marae Kuia Mere Knight, who was able to impart it to Valerie before passing away just after Valerie’s own association with the Marae began.
In the short time the Ladies' Army has been going, Valerie's hard work and dedication has being paying dividends.
Not only around the waistlines of the women involved - with over 200 kilograms shed so far between them - but also in improving their everyday outlook, which Val credits to the Spiritual element of the programme.
Each class begins with a Karakia or prayer and finishes with a word of the week, to encourage those involved.
Getting the Marae community to change their eating habits has also been a big part of Valerie's success.
It has taken over five years, but the Marae is now verified as an organic garden by Māori Organics Aotearoa. Free range eggs, honey, leafy greens and kumara are all readily available, and Val says three-quarters of each harvest is given to families who need a bit extra.
In recognition for her leadership and inspiration, Valerie has recently been named New Zealand's Māori Public Health Champion at the Public Health Association's annual conference.
“In terms of where Papatuanuku is at... Māori Public Health Champion definitely says we’re doing some great work, don’t you think? Roll on the next 30 years!” - Valerie Teraitua

EXTENDED BODY:
Annette O'Sullivan is piecing together the story of why the stencil became a shipping mark for bales of wool.
A senior lecturer of typography at Massey University in Wellington, Annette's PhD research explores the use and significance of the New Zealand wool bale stencil from colonial times to the present day.
Stenciling was widely practiced for more than 100 years. It was a requirement of all colonies exporting wool to London to stencil the name of the sheep station and details of the wool onto the fabric of the bale in order to trace its origin and identify the contents for sale.

"Some of the stencils have varieties of breaks and letterforms, mixtures of italics, sans serifs and serifs and that's what makes them unique,' Annette says.
The stenciled station brand not only represented the station internationally, it was New Zealand's first export brand.
Stenciling on wool bales was discontinued towards the end of the last century with the introduction of new materials and processes, but today echoes of wool bale branding can still be seen in the marketing and branding of other New Zealand products.

The Simpsons of Simpson's Beach
BODY:
Peter Simpson moved onto his Coromandel farm as a three month old in 1927. Peter, his father and brother broke in much of their land with a horse and plough. In the ensuing decades it's been a dairy farm and a sheep farm but these days, cattle graze the paddocks. Peter's now 88 and every day, you'll find him out working on the land. Meanwhile his beach-front paddock remains open to campers. They've been welcomed on to the Simpson's property for more than 80 years.
EXTENDED BODY:

When Peter Simpson (above) was three months old he came to live on a farm on the coast just north of Whitianga.
It was 1927 and, 88 years later, that farm is still home.
Every day, you'll find Peter out working on the land; moving stock and feeding out.
"You know, I've never shifted and I've farmed all my life and I just love it. I wouldn't do anything else... I've got my quad bike and I've got three good dogs and you can go forever doing that sort of work."
The farm, at Simpson's Beach, has changed significantly over the years.
Once scrub-covered, Peter broke in a lot of the property with a horse and plough.
Initially it was a dairy farm and Peter's father used a steam engine to drive the shed.
"We had a tonne of firewood. Old kauri logs washed up on the beach from the kauri timber days up here. (We'd) chop it up and fire it into the fire to keep the steam going. I don't know what made my father buy that steam engine but it did the trick."
The steam engine was replaced by a diesel motor and, in 1964, electricity finally came to Simpson's Beach.
When wool prices were good, dairy cows gave way to 2,500 sheep.
Peter's wife Margaret remembers the pressure of having to feed the shearers. There were scones, filled rolls and sandwiches to be prepared for morning tea and then meat, vegetables and pudding at lunchtime.
"I look back and think how on earth did I do it? The thing is you have to be right dead-on time. I was tearing around like a mad thing. But anyway that's all gone now, thank goodness."
Now 600 cattle graze the steep land.
Today Peter farms alongside his son John, who shares a love and the land and says he doubts his father will ever move from the farm.
"He'll leave in a box. No, he won't leave here... Nah, none of us will."
