High profile Maori musicians are getting behind a new initiative - Te Marama Pūoru Waiata Māori - Māori Music Month. This August they'll be showcasing their talents, and mentoring young performers in Aotearoa and Australia.
"We'll be planting the seed this year" says one of the ambassadors, Rob Ruha. "We'll be going around to different communities, and sharing our experiences as Māori musicians, as composers, working with some of the kura around the motu. Also promoting that there's a career path in this mahi too."
"There's some amazing talent just sitting out there in our sheds, and our rangatahi jam in their bedrooms and post things out to Facebook, but then when they get to kura they get steered away from this kind of mahi as a sustainable income. So we're here to steer that in a different direction."
Ruha will be working alongside Maisey Rika and Tama Waipara, as well as Taisha Tari, who will be running a workshop on the Gold Coast in Australia. There will be a special focus on turntablism, led by some of top Maori DJs.
Māori Music Month schedule:
August,1st week Wellington; 2nd week Auckland; 3rd week Waikato; 4th week Gold Coast, Australia. If there are any schools that want to become involved in the workshops as part of Māori Music Month, please email Ellison Huata: ellison.kahurangi@xtra.co.nz

Australian mother of three, Taryn Brumfitt sparked a global conversation about body image, simply by posting two images on her website
The before photo is from her body building days. The “after” photo is when she accepted the way she looked in normal life.
Taryn Brumfitt admits she would stare in the mirror and tell herself how fat, ugly, and disgusting she was after having children. She went hard out to get a bikini body, but was still unhappy. She realised she needed to be happy with what she had and stop trying so hard to look a certain way. She also realised that if she was going to teach her own daughter to love her body, then she had to do the same.
She says poor body image has become a global epidemic. Too many women around the world hate their bodies. So she decided to find out why, and if there was anything she could do about it.
Her powerful and confronting documentary Embrace is screening at the New Zealand International Film Festival .

EXTENDED BODY:
Scott Bolton is responsible for overall success of NASA's Juno mission and leader of the science team. The Juno mission was launched in 2011 to study Jupiter's origin, atmosphere, magnetosphere and interior structure.
Bolton is currently visiting New Zealand and will deliver a free public lecture this evening at 6pm at AUT.
It's at the WG Sir Paul Reeves building off mayoral drive on AUT's City campus.
Bolton talks to Jesse Mulligan about the Juno mission.
Read an edited excerpt from their conversation
What unexpected problems did you run into?
We didn’t really have any problems as far as I could tell. We’ve analysed a lot of the data now and we definitely saw effects from the radiation but none of them were damaging enough to do anything that was serious or that would prevent us from accomplished the mission. We’re still analysing it all. There’s no doubt the radiation was there, but I think we protected ourselves with all the armoured shielding just right.
What’s Juno up to right now?
Juno is in its first orbit, the first one is 153 days long. And we’re going to come around again and get really close to Jupiter on August 27th, that’ll be the first really close flyby of the planet with all of our eyes and ears open. We will have ever science instruments on at that time and we will make the first measurements and we will see what Jupiter looks like up, close and personal.
What particular data have seen so far? Anything particularly interesting?
Yeah! We made a great approach movie as we approached Jupiter that shows Jupiter and its moons moving and that’s the first time we’ve really seen that in motion.
We have also seen a lot of data that we have gathered looking at the relationship between the solar wind and Jupiter’s magnetosphere. There’s a really strong aurora – the northern or southern lights of Jupiter are really intense and we’ve been studying those along with the interaction of the sun and the solar wind with Jupiter’s shield - which is its magnetic shield which has so we have been gathering a lot of data about its polar magnetosphere. So charged particles, ultraviolet imaging, and radio waves, so it’s really fascinating. But Juno is designed to go in close to Jupiter, so that won’t happen until August 27.
So the photos that it takes, are they supposed to be “wow” photos for those of us on earth who don’t know exactly what we’re looking at?
Yeah I think so. We have Juno-Cam which is taking images, that’s how we took approach image. We were really far away from Jupiter so you could see the moons going around it [because we were] pretty far away]. But once we get in close the camera is going to get the first close ups and the first view of the pole of Jupiter, we don’t know what the poles look like so we will go right over the north and south poles and take a picture of those and we will post them on the internet right away and then we will get close ups of the clouds. It’s hard to say what they’re going to look like. But I think they’ll be amazing, we’ve hardly ever seen the clouds super close before.
What are you most looking forward to?
Well some of the stuff I’m really interested in is what’s beneath those clouds. We have an instrument – a microwave instrument - that can see beneath the cloud tops so we will see how deep the zones of the clouds and how deep the roots of that great red spot goes – it must be pretty deep because that storm has lasted hundreds of years. So I’m very curious to see how deep those roots go into Jupiter and what’s driving that storm and all of the dynamics we see.

1:15 Why so many women hate their bodies
Australian mother of three, Taryn Brumfitt sparked a global conversation about body image, simply by posting two images on her website
[image:76074:full]
The before photo is from her body building days. The “after” photo is when she accepted the way she looked in normal life.
Taryn Brumfitt admits she would stare in the mirror and tell herself how fat, ugly, and disgusting she was after having children. She went hard out to get a bikini body, but was still unhappy. She realised she needed to be happy with what she had and stop trying so hard to look a certain way. She also realised that if she was going to teach her own daughter to love her body, then she had to do the same.
She says poor body image has become a global epidemic. Too many women around the world hate their bodies. So she decided to find out why, and if there was anything she could do about it.
Her powerful and confronting documentary Embrace is screening at the New Zealand International Film Festival .
Taryn Brumfitt joins Jesse in the Auckland studio.

Polaris Big Four Hunting Competition - Part One
BODY:
Every June the Polaris Te Puna Big Four hunting competition is held in Bay of Plenty. It's an event where four people hunt for four days to collect four species: a boar, stag, trout and pheasant. The competition attracts nearly 100 teams from all over New Zealand. Some even come from Australia. In part one Country Life joins the team trying to get a boar deep in the Raukumaras.
EXTENDED BODY:

It Was One Big Week in June: The Big Four Hunting Competition
Every year during a week in June, mad keen hunters spread out around New Zealand hoping to bag a stag, boar, trout and pheasant.
It's all part of the Polaris Big Four competition run by the Te Puna Hunting and Fishing club near Tauranga in Bay of Plenty.
Teams of four have four days to collect the four species. The 2016 event attracted 91 teams, 54 of them getting all four animals, including some coming from the South Island.
When questioned about hunting and why they enter this mad event, most participants said the prizes were impressive, but mainly it's about having fun with mates, getting away from the city and seeing countryside they don't see that often.
This June's event was held in appalling weather that hit most of New Zealand.
Country Life's Susan Murray joined a team called On The Way which involved a trip up the remote Motu area in the Raukumaras, tackling narrow slippery roads, and rivers that rose in the torrential rain. Some of the team members were trapped by swollen rivers for two days only just making it out in time for the weigh-in day.
Susan started out thinking she would just cover the trout fishing and pheasant shoot because she'd already been deer and pig hunting. She wasn't let off the hook that easily. Between June 13 and 24 she recorded over six hours of material to become two feature programmes.
