Farmer suicide - overcoming isolation
BODY:
Matt Shirtcliffe speaks openly about the suicide of his farmer wife Mary in May this year. Matt has begun a campaign to help overcome farmer isolation.
EXTENDED BODY:
Matt Shirtcliffe speaks openly about the suicide of his farmer wife Mary in May this year. Matt has begun a campaign to help overcome farmer isolation.
Federated Farmers says in a twelve month period from 2013 to 2014, 22 farmers committed suicide comprising of 15 men and seven women. Six farmers were aged under 24 and ten were over the age of 50.
Matt Shirtcliffe says isolation and stress among farmers is rife, and he says it's people like rural bankers, seed and fertiliser suppliers and livestock agents who see farmers on a regular basis - who can provide crucial support, just by having empathy and being a listening ear. He wants any organisation whose frontline staff interact with farmers to pick up the challenge.

He was the only doctor on the mountain in 1996 when eight mountaineers, including New Zealander Rob Hall, died in the disaster that is told in the movie Everest. Dr Kamler treated surviving climbers at 21,000 feet including Beck Weathers who had been left for dead on the mountain but managed to get to a camp for help. Dr Kamler talks about survival in the extremes.

Global census of methane-producing microbes
BODY:
A team of AgResearch scientists had analysed the rumen microbiome in different animals across the world and found similar methane-producing micro-organisms.
EXTENDED BODY:
What we found is that methanogens, which are the methane-producing microbes, the same one were dominant everywhere. One particular group which makes up about half of all of the methane-producing microbes was dominant in just about every single sample, from all over the world.
Peter Janssen, AgResearch

Giraffes in Africa, buffalo in China, bison in America, cattle and sheep in New Zealand – all these animals have one thing in common: they ruminate.
They all eat grass or leaves, but to digest the plant matter, they need the help of microbes that live in their multi-chambered stomach. The first chamber is called the rumen, and it is an ecosystem in its own right, teeming with microbes that ferment the feed. Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is a by-product of this process.
Methane emissions from ruminant animals account for more than a third of New Zealand’s total greenhouse gas emissions, and scientists have been looking for ways of reducing the emissions, both here and worldwide.
A New Zealand-led study has now found that a global effort is feasible because the microbes that produce the greenhouse gas are similar in ruminant animals around the world.
AgResearch scientist Peter Janssen, who led the Global Rumen Census project together with Gemma Henderson, says the team analysed hundreds of samples from the fore-stomachs of a wide range of ruminant animals and found similar micro-organisms present in nearly all rumens across a wide variety of species and animal diets.
The majority of the samples are from cattle, sheep and goats from different countries, but the project also included other farmed ruminants, such as buffaloes and reindeer, as well as wild animals, including giraffes, mountain chamois and bison.
“For every single one of those animals we knew the breed, what it was eating and where it was from, and that allowed us to explore patterns across all of this information,” says Peter Janssen.
Gemma Henderson says the rumen teems with microbes, including methanogens, which are responsible for the methane production, and bacteria and larger protozoa. The team found that the methanogens were surprisingly similar across all animals “no matter where the animals were, which species they were and what they were eating”.
From a methanogen’s perspective, the results are perhaps less surprising. “These methane-producing microbes grow on the products from the bacteria and protozoa that ferment the feed. They grow on the hydrogen that’s produced, and they convert the hydrogen to methane. They just down care where the hydrogen comes from.”
The results mean that any technology developed to reduce methane emissions from ruminants should be applicable across the globe.
If it had turned out that the methanogens were different everywhere, it means you’d need a local solution for the problem everywhere, but if they are very similar, as they turned out to be, it means that a global collaboration or a product developed in one place can result in something that everyone can use.

Earlier this year, the AgResearch team developed chemical inhibitors that could potentially significantly lower methane emissions, in a project that was carried out in sheep, cattle and deer in New Zealand.
Peter Janssen says the latest findings don’t take away the technical challenge of controlling the methanogens. “You still have to find a way of intervening, but what it does tell us is that something that’s developed in one place could be applicable everywhere and that’s really useful if we have a global effort to try and solve the problem.”
The results of the Global Rumen Census were released in the open-access journal Scientific Reports. The team has made the database and a summary of the results openly available so that other researchers can pursue their own investigations, and Peter Janssen says there are a few questions he would like to continue exploring. So far the methanogens have been grouped on a species level, but he says he would like to “drill deeper to investigate different strains”.
“In New Zealand, for example, it’s not only the same species of methanogen everywhere, it’s the same dominant strains and we’d love to know if that’s on a global level as well.”

Jim Pinckney tunes in to the twisted pop of U.S. Girls Half Free.
Illinois born and now Toronto based artist Meghan Remy is certainly a curious one, sending out a raft of divergent and often challenging signals over the space of numerous releases since 2007. In many respects the easiest fit is amongst the likes of 4AD labelmates Grimes, and Tuneyards, who make very different music that is hard to categorise, relentlessly, sometimes disastrously, adventurous and spottily successful. The sound quality may have been stepped up a little this time around, but it’s still rooted in the 4-track, lo-fi allure of her earlier recordings, that found a natural home in the shambling surrounds of labels like Stiltbreeze and Not Not Fun Records. While that material often tended to sound like a straight out fight, between her well studied pop tendencies and a bedroom producers mentality, with neither side necessarily winning, there is a more measured feeling of equilibrium and confidence to Half Free that suggests U.S. Girls is only just getting started.

Jim Pinckney negotiates New Order's first truly new material in over a decade.
Though it may be their 10th studio album it’s hardly business as usual for New Order, as they welcome back Gillian Gilbert on keyboards for the first time since 2001’s Get Ready release, and mark the departure of longtime bass player Peter Hook. It certainly hasn’t been easy, with lead singer Bernard Sumner and Hook squaring off in contrasting memoirs that provide very different slants on history, though leaving little doubt that these are two curmudgeonly gentlemen who probably shouldn’t be in the same room together, let alone the same group. On Music Complete the remaining members, alongside new bassist Tom Chapman and long time guitarist Phil Cunningham, opt for the safest options - revisiting past glories, and roping in a fair chunk of celebrity help. As much as it is a considerable step up from their last two efforts, Music Complete doesn’t add a great deal to the band’s extraordinary legacy.

Jim Pinckney delves into Darkstar's socially conscious gentle electronica.
Darkstar are a pair of northern transplants, James Young and Aiden Whalley, who wound up studying in London and finding common musical ground in the tenuous area that became known as post-dubstep. Operating on the very fringes of dance music, with delicate pop aspirations and a decidedly ambient bent, they are the kind of outfit who don’t fit in with whichever scene they are cobbled into. If there is a cohesive thread through their music it is a sense of fragile unease. Foam Island, their third album, finds the duo adding a stronger socio-political aspect to their sound, using reportage of Huddersfield locals describing their lot during the last British General Election. It can make for heavy listening but there are some genuinely substantial and worthwhile songs hidden amongst the patchwork of spoken word intrusions, and Darkstar continue to intrigue, infuriate and sometimes delight.
