Lighting up the sky with fake shooting stars!
BODY:
A Japanese start-up wants to create a 'sky canvas' by shooting pea sized metal spheres into the upper atmosphere to create artificial meteor showers. Rie Yamamoto is the company spokesperson based in Tokyo.
EXTENDED BODY:
A Japanese start-up wants to create a “sky canvas” by shooting pea sized metal spheres into the upper atmosphere to create artificial meteor showers.
The tiny balls would then burn up as they fall from space, at roughly 28,000 km an hour, creating a starry spectacle that could be seen for 200km.
Rie Yamamoto is the company spokesperson based in Tokyo.
She talks to Kathryn Ryan.
Read edited highlights of their conversation
KR: Why this idea?
RY: This idea came about when our CEO [Lena Okajima] first thought about the idea when she saw the Leonid meteor shower back in 2001 and she actually has a PHD in astronomy so she thought to herself that it’s technically possible to recreate it and she knew the mechanism by which natural shooting stars are born so she thought to herself: what if you create it artificially?
And she had that it was just an idea at the time and she had it in her head for a while and over the years she realised how much she really enjoyed watching shooting stars and she decided to give the idea a go in 2009.
KR: Is part of it also just an exercise in scientific and engineering skill, is it just fun as an exercise to see if this can happen?
RY: I think she knew that – not only does this have a business opportunity, but from her background, she actually knew that this was something that could contribute to further studying the field. She knew that there were going to be scientific contributions from this project, so I think that potential, doing business while doing research in the field, was something that excited her and she wanted to give it a shot.
KR: So what is in involved in the process?
RY: First of all our shooting stars are going to look a little bit different to naturally occurring stars so you will actually know that it’s ours and not a natural one. Since they’re longer and they’re slower and we’re also hoping to change the colour. When we do it we are creating our own stream star – we call them pallets or source particles… So we’re essentially creating these artificial and putting them on to a micro satellite. We’re putting about 500 to 1000 of them on to a micro satellite and reserving a rocket and sending it into outer space and once [it] goes into orbit we’re then able to send a signal to it saying “hey we would like ten shooting stars over this location over at Tokyo” and that satellite will basically discharge the pallets. And then as the pallets come down into the atmosphere they obviously burn with friction in the air and become shooting stars, but again they’re going to look a little bit different from natural ones.
KR: So will these shooting stars seem closer to people seeing them?
RY: We are not actually sure yet, but I would say that the artificial shooting stars we are going to be creating will be burning at a similar altitude to the natural ones.
KR: How far out are we talking distance-wise?
RY: So the satellite itself is going to be orbiting at around 500km above the earth and as for the shooting star range they’re going to be around 60-80km above the earth.
KR: As well as being visually spectacular but it will also serve a scientific purpose, what is that?
RY: Yes, there are several. One is we’re hoping that this will shed light on the mechanisms of natural shooting stars. Currently, we know very little about natural shooting stars because it is fairly difficult to anticipate when they’re going to happen and observe closely and since we know when our shooting stars are going to happen and the velocities and the angles and what it’s made out of. We’re hoping that observing these shooting stars will shed light on how shooting stars behave.
And the second portion is we’re hoping that this also leads to further insights of how things work in the upper atmosphere and give insights on how the environment will change. The reason why is because the layer that these shooting stars are going to be coming through – little is known about the upper atmosphere because it’s essentially too high for balloons and aeroplanes but then too low for spacecraft to study so we’re hoping that the close analysis of these shooting stars may reveal temperatures, densities and movements of the atmosphere hoping to give insights into how the environment will change over the long term.

Long-time health activist Lynda Williams
BODY:
Lynda Williams has been an outspoken advocate for womens' health; her activism led to her appointment as patient advocate at Auckland's National Women's hospital in the wake of the Cartwright inquiry into cervical cancer screening. She's been a key figure in the group Women's Health Action and a tireless attendee at Auckland's District Health Board meetings. Now, it is her own health that is in sharp focus; Lynda Williams has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and is ensuring that she makes the most of what time she has left.
EXTENDED BODY:
Lynda Williams role as a health activist began after her experiences as a young, single woman who had to fight to get contraceptives and later with challenges to the medical system when she had her first baby.
Now Lynda's own health that is in sharp focus – she has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. It's not a matter of fighting the disease, she says, it is nearly always fatal, but ensuring that she makes the most of what time she has left.
Lynda Williams is a former childbirth educator who has been an ouspoken advocate for womens health - her activism led to her appointment as patient advocate at Auckland's National Women's hospital in the wake of the Cartwright inquiry into cervical cancer screening. She has been a key figure in the group Women's Health Action and a tireless attendee at Auckland's District Health Board meetings. But it's not just bureacracies that Lynda Williams has taken on, She has also been critical of lobbyists of Pharmac, who have campaigned for the funding of cancer drugs like Herceptin and Keytruda, saying those efforts should be directed at pharmaceutical companies which put high prices on the drugs.
An extract from the interview
Kathryn Ryan: We’re humans, we know that we’re going to die, but it is not until receiving the certainty of such a diagnosis as yours that we really focus on it. Was has been your experience of facing it as a reality?
Lynda Williams: Well, it didn’t take me very long at all, actually. If I had been diagnosed with a different form of cancer I would have a very different response I’m sure. But although I didn’t know too much about pancreatic cancer I knew that the world that I had been living in had changed dramatically and my survival was not going to be for very long. My first thoughts were not for me once I knew that I had pancreatic cancer, it was how am I going to tell my five children? The few tears I’ve shed over this journey, over the last eight months, were shed for my children.
Kathryn Ryan: The hardest thing is their pain.
Lynda Williams: Yes.
Kathryn Ryan: We talk often about the phases people go through with a diagnosis about this – the classic cycle of grief and denial and anger and bargaining. Did you go much straight to the point of accepting this. As you say, your focus as it is so often is with mothers, with parents, is how is this going to affect my children?
Lynda Williams: The diagnosis was such a shock that I think I shelved it temporarily while I put on my mother hat and worked out with my ex-husband what was the best way to talk to my children about what had just happened. I accepted the diagnosis immediately and it was very clear to me that there was no point in trying to deny it or pretend that it wasn’t happening. What I wanted to do was live while I was dying. I did not want to change anything in that moment about the way I was living. So for those next few months I didn’t change anything in terms of my work, my family and the various other things I’m involved in.
Kathryn Ryan: Everyone’s experience of a terminal experience is very different, clearly. But one thing you do hear and perhaps you hear it often from parents and grandparents is appreciation of having time. I know it doesn’t feel long enough, but time to get everybody where they need to be – has that been another part of the experience for you?
Lynda Williams: Yes. That didn’t happen till the beginning of this year. Several months later I realised it was a gift, actually, being given notice of the fact that I was going to die and my life expectancy was now measured in months, not years. And that I was going to be around to help my friends and family come to terms with what lay ahead. We could plan together how best to use the time and to go through the grieving process and the saying goodbye. To me that has been a very precious gift and something that... If this is the way it had to be, that I was going to die very shortly – I would rather do it this way than be taken out suddenly in a car crash or something like that, leaving behind traumatised friends and family. This, to me, is a very important time.

Anxiety for beginners
BODY:
Eleanor Morgan has suffered from crippling anxiety for at least fifteen years.
EXTENDED BODY:
Eleanor Morgan has suffered from crippling anxiety for at least fifteen years. She was 17 when she had her first panic attack during a lesson at school - the blackboard went blurry, her head started to prickle, her hands went numb and her bowels began to bubble alarmingly. "Within seconds I was convinced I was about to detonate there on my wooden stool... death became a certainty".
Eleanor Morgan is a writer for the Guardian, the Times, Indy, GQ, Harper's Bazaar, and others.
In her new book Anxiety for Beginners, she explores the roots of her own anxiety, and investigates what might be contributing to so many of us suffering around the world.
She talks to Jesse Mulligan about her journey.
Read an edited excerpt from their interview below:
Did you know what was going on when you had your first panic attack?
No, I didn’t. The only logical explanation I had was that I was going to die. I had no language for panic attacks, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you what one was. It was incredibly confusing and frightening.
Panic attacks are the extreme anxiety feeling. It’s a fight or flight reflex and the brain is activated. Almost every single one of us has the propensity to become very anxious. We all know how it feels. It’s an evolutionary function. When we perceive danger our body gets ready to run or to fight. The biochemistry that happens is in a part of the brain called the amygdala, which is a small part of the brain, very deeply buried. It becomes activated and talks to other parts of the body and then releases all sorts of chemicals throughout the body. Adrenaline, serotonin, cortisol ad the body is prepared for action. In terms of panic attacks and extreme anxiety, the system glitches a bit and we react to thoughts and memories, sometimes on an unconscious level and we go through the same process.
So it’s about sensing danger from within?
Yes. People have all sorts of different triggers. I was in a classroom, I don’t know exactly what triggered mine in the beginning. There would have been all sorts of thoughts going on… thinking and thinking and thinking. Ruminating. It’s a very frustrating thing that goes on in the brain and the body.
At that time, when you were getting panic attacks regularly and you didn’t know what to do about them and life was pretty difficult, is there anything that anyone could have said to you that might have helped?
It’s difficult because I, like so, so many other people, had built up a real sense of shame around it and miraculously I had been able to hide it from everyone. Nobody actually saw me have a panic attack, they all happened on my own.
You become a master of disguise. It can be very hard to be open with the people around you about the way you think.
What was it for you that helped you manage your anxiety?
Well I don’t want to scare people with this, but I had reached a crisis point with anxiety. I had been having more panic attacks than I ever had before and the fear of having them become so acute that I didn’t want to do anything. I was freelance at the time, so I was working from home, which was probably the worst thing actually. But I just retreated. The more I retreated the worse the anxiety became when I left the house to do things. It became untenable. I had to reach that point. Looking in the mirror and thinking, this isn’t a way to live, you need to accept that something is wrong and you need help.
You’d tried therapists before and some of them didn’t really work for you. And that’s one of the lessons that you’ve taken out of it, is trying a few and find the one you respond to.
I think that is very important. I think it’s a very common thing that people enter into therapy and they don’t feel like they’re getting along with their therapists, but actually like any other sort of business transaction, you don’t have to stay with that person and nor should you, if you don’t feel comfortable. There are so many different theories about what therapies are best, but I have come to believe that you get the most if you have a good rapport with someone and you’re able to be the most honest that you’ve probably ever been with someone.
Does it get worse before it gets better?
I felt a lot of relief from sitting down and talking frankly. Once you have accepted that you have a problem and you sit down in front of someone who can say to you, this problem is incredibly common, this is how we are going to help you manage it. Even the first session with someone can provide a lot of relief.
It takes time. There isn’t a cure for anxiety. I wished there was for a very long time. But it’s something that you have to accept and manage as part of your life. But it’s very possible to do that. I never thought I would be in the position that I am now. I would have laughed if you had told me three years ago that I had a. written a book about anxiety, and b. functioning how I do now.

Moral Majority - In June 1979 the Moral Majority was launched and changed the course of American politics. It was set up to promote family values by religious conservatives from Catholic, Jewish and evangelical Christian communities. It urged protestants in particular to go against the tradition of separating politics and religion and register to vote, and to vote Republican. Richard Viguerie was one of the driving forces behind the movement.

Stopping Summer Stress
BODY:
Dean and Antoinette Martin are dry stock farmers in Hawkes Bay. Over the years they've seen summer droughts become more intense and more frequent. Tired of the summer stress they've turned their farming system around and now the stressful times, if there are any, come in winter when it's too wet. The Martins now run stock in large mobs, and focus on pasture volume rather than quality. Dean puts at least 30 different plant varieties in his pasture mixes.
EXTENDED BODY:
When Antoinette Martin first moved in with husband Dean on his Hawkes Bay farm, summer was an awful time of the year.
"Dean would be just watching the news saying 'When's the rain coming. When's the rain coming?' He'd be stressing because it never arrived."
That hasn't changed. The rain usually doesn't arrive in summer. Not for months.
But what has changed is the look of Dean and Antoinette's farm. By worrying about pasture quantity, rather than quality, and running dairy grazers or sheep in large mobs on small areas, he's now got plenty of pasture in summer.
At any one time he may be grazing only one and a half percent of his 145 effective hectare farm. On the remaining paddocks the pastures are recovering. Or going to seed. To some people that looks odd, but Antoinette says it doesn't matter how tall the grass is, the sheep eat what they need and trample the rest into the ground.
"It gives the ground a good covering so it is protected from harsh sun, and putting nutrients back in.
"It's interesting watching it, especially a non farming person, a lay person, driving up the road I can literally see where the boundary of our farm and the neighbours is.... it's letting the plant do what it's made to do. Creating its own natural evolution."
Dean also puts at least 30 different plant varieties in his pasture mixes. The mixes include bird seed blends, sunflowers (which sheep love) and seeds from Antoinette's pantry. In summer he's picking peas from the paddocks before the stock tuck in.
City girl Antoinette can't believe she's become so interested in soil health and growing grass.
"I've always loved the land .. even though I was born and bred in Auckland. But I never thought I would get to the stage where I wanted to do a course on soil and grazing management."
Guess what? She has.

EXTENDED BODY:
Sheep farming and environmental responsibility go hand in hand on Malcolm and Margaret Mackenzie's 193 hectare farm near Winton in Southland.
Over time they have planted shelter belts of native species, fenced off waterways, developed a wetland area and every year Malcolm grows hundreds of heritage apple trees for the Riverton Environment Centre.
Malcolm, who turned 80 this year, has spent all of his life on the fertile property at East Limehills and is still farming sheep as his father and his grandfather had done.
“If a dairy farmer we’re to take it over a lot of the shelter belts would be in the wrong places, they would no doubt get rid of a number of them totally because they like fences that divide the farm into even sized blocks and the trees around the house I suspect would largely be gone.”
At this stage the Mackenzie's have not got a retirement exit strategy worked out and succession is not an option as their three children have chosen different career pathways.
“I would like to think it will be taken over by someone who wants to farm sheep and beef or do a bit of cropping, this land was very good for crops, we use to grow a large acreage of oats for many years and we grew and grass seed as well, so it could still be used for that.”
Malcolm still spends alot of his time on the quadbike or in his ute if it’s raining. His heading dogs Tess and Belle are always at his side and they make a formidable farming team.
“My two dogs are my best mates. They’re off all day and every day when I’m at home on the farm. I don’t like seeing them tied up for any great length of time” he says.
