From volume to value: Maury Leyland
BODY:
What is the key to the New Zealand primary sector going from low cost commodity producer to marketer of high value consumer goods? It's a challenge for the whole primary sector exporting commodities with a value of $37 billion which by the time they reach consumers, are worth $200 billion. Kathryn Ryan talks to former Fonterra executive Maury Leyland, who's now involved with the primary sector think tank, Te Hono.
EXTENDED BODY:
What is the key to the New Zealand primary sector going from a low-cost commodity producer to a marketer of high-value consumer goods?
The eyes of most dairy farmers will be on Fonterra later this month as it reports its annual result.
Farmer suppliers who are struggling with low pay-outs and high debt will be anxious to see whether recent increases in global milk prices will result in a higher pay-out.
Fonterra has been criticised by many for not doing enough to add value to its basic product in a global market flooded with milk.
And it's a challenge for the whole primary sector, which exports $37 billion worth of commodities that are worth $200 billion by the time they reach consumers.
Maury Leyland was, until March this year, managing director of people, culture and strategy at Fonterra.
She's now on the steering committee of the primary sector think tank Te Hono - a group of primary sector chief executives and leaders working together with the aim of doubling the value of primary sector exports by 2025.
She says New Zealand has a competitive advantage, but it is not a story we tell consumers very well.
But she says there is a move towards value-added, higher-margin products.
“We often confuse the term commodity with ingredients, I think our country has a strong future in high-value ingredients.”
A more outward-looking attitude will be needed, nonetheless.
“We need some structural change to reach markets and quite quickly. We tend to get caught up in the petty internal politics, internal competition issues and the competition is not here.”

EXTENDED BODY:
From growing up in a caravan in Scotland to making mega-bucks from pet food and owning a motor racing track, or two, Tony Quinn has had an eventful life. The self-made millionaire has an eclectic portfolio: he owns two motor-racing tracks and two confectionery companies. He tells his story to Kathryn Ryan.
Interview highlights:
"I always say to people that I am a quick learner and I am strategic at what I do."
The thing that sums up my early years in Scotland is that I went to a private school for a minute and I passed the exam to get in, of course my mum and dad couldn’t afford the fees, that was always a problem… there was this chess championship. I didn’t know what it was, I didn’t know how to play it, but it was kind of compulsory that you played it. The tournament started and I played it and won it. And I always say to people that I am a quick learner and I am strategic at what I do. I think that sums up how I am, what I am.
"Whatever it is, I like to do the very best I can at whatever I put my hands to."
People think I am passionate about cars, which I am to an extent, but I am probably more passionate about competition, more passionate about the game and about doing well in the game, whether it’s the game of life or the game of motorsport. Whatever it is, I like to do the very best I can at whatever I put my hands to.
"It is nothing short of hard work. I don’t know anything else."
You’ve gotta believe in what you’re doing. For most entrepreneurs it comes from deep in your stomach and then your heart takes over, and you’ve just gotta keep going. It is nothing short of hard work. I don’t know anything else. I take my hat off to people who invent something like Google or whatever it is, I have no idea how they do it or even how it works, I am useless at it. But digging holes and moving buildings or creating a brand, delivering on your promise, all of those things I can do.
The three rules of business:
The first thing is you must have a brand. The brand is the most important thing in any business.
The second thing is that you must deliver. Whatever the brand promises, you must deliver it. Come hell or high water you have got to do it.
You shouldn’t be practicing about it. If you are in business, you are in business to make money and employ people, develop progress, improve everybody’s surroundings and do it honestly. I think if you do that, all of the accolades come to you.
On the difference in doing business in New Zealand and in Australia:
The fundamental business difference between New Zealand and Australia is that it is a little bit tougher to compete in New Zealand because the market is a little bit tighter and the Kiwis themselves are very capable people and they will make things happen. Whereas on the other side of the Tasman the Aussies will talk about doing stuff and they will invariably fail or they make up excuses for why it hasn’t happened.
"You only get one crack at life, you’ve gotta give it the best shot."
Anything I do I want it to be top quality. I don’t really buy into the cheap and cheerful stuff. You only get one crack at life, you’ve gotta give it the best shot. When you build something that’s quality, you will find that through thick and thin, quality will always win through. That gets back to the number one rule of business: the brand. You have got to have a brand that is strong and quality.

Why do we remember things differently?
BODY:
So why is that different people can remember the same event in a very different way?

EXTENDED BODY:
Scientist Nicky Clayton and artist Clive Wilkins approach the concept of memory as a bit of a double act. They first met on the tango floor and now sometimes tango in front of a live audience to illustrate the science of memory.
Clive says while we have the curious notion that our memories are an accurate 'storer' or representation of the past, every time we recall a memory we actually change it to suit our current purpose.
Performance arts such as tango and magic tricks can illustrate and bring to life just how subjective memory is. While performance is often viewed as a collective experience, every person present – including the performers – will take home a different memory of it, depending on their point of view in the auditorium and previous personal experiences.
Nicky Clayton is a Professor of Comparative Cognition at the University of Cambridge and Clive Wilkins is Artist in Residence at Cambridge University's Department of Psychology.

EXTENDED BODY:
Some of the world's top astronomers gathered on Great Barrier Island over the weekend to ask the big questions, such as is there life out there?
Among them was US planetary scientist and astronomer Faith Vilas, who believes humans will find a planet capable of harbouring life such as ours within the next 20 years.
She says the effort going into that search is substantial.
“We are spending a great deal of time and money to find life beyond Earth. Finding intelligent life beyond Earth is the Holy Grail of astronomers.”
The technology to make such a search possible has only been around for the last 35 to 40 years, and in the last 15 years that technology had advanced rapidly, she says.
But is there any evidence life might exist in another galaxy?
Most people in her field believe intelligent life will be found, she says.
“You bet we’re gonna find life on other planets. I can’t believe that we won’t find intelligent life on other planets, I would be so stunned if we didn’t.
“I’m sure we will find other beings that have a capability of intelligence and the ability to communicate somehow with us – if they want to!”

New Zealand's 'batman'
BODY:
Ben Paris is the Senior Biodiversity Advisor for the Auckland Council, and says if you live in that city, there's a good chance there are bats that visit your back yard. He tells us all about New Zealand's only native mammal.
EXTENDED BODY:
Did you know we have two types of bat in New Zealand?
The endangered short-tailed bat is not often seen on the New Zealand mainland, but long-tailed bats are among the residents of Auckland.
Look out around old trees for a airborne creature about as big as an adult thumb with an erratic flight pattern like a fantail or a swallow.

Beach Boys frontman, Mike Love
BODY:
55 years ago, three brothers, a cousin and their friend formed a band that will forever be linked to California, sun and surf. The songs by the Beach Boys became anthems for good times but behind the scenes it was anything but fun, fun, fun.
EXTENDED BODY:
More than half a century ago, three brothers, a cousin and their friend formed a band that will forever be linked to California, sun and surf. The songs by the Beach Boys became anthems for good times but behind the scenes it was anything but fun, fun, fun.
Mike Love talks about his cousin Brian Wilson's mental illness, the lawsuit he filed against him, and the band's brush with serial killer Charles Manson in his new book, Good Vibrations: My Life as a Beach Boy.
Good Vibrations is the title - is that your favourite Beach Boys' song?
One of my favourites yes, my cousin Brian [Wilson] and I, Brian really I think out did himself on that track’s instrumentation and it was recorded in several different studios, and he called upon me to come up with the lyrics.
I came up with the chorus line ‘I’m thinking of good vibrations, she’s giving me the excitations’ as a result of the bass line of the chorus, and then I wrote all the words to the verses as well, that my cousin Carl sang so beautifully.
So it was a true collaboration, and it was our most successful collaboration. We had several collaborations but it was our biggest, most massive hit.
Another favourite?
Probably ‘Kokomo’ because that was a song that exceeded ‘Good Vibrations’ as far as popularity and several million copies sold of that; in Australia it was Number 1 for eight weeks in row.
And it’s one of the biggest sing-a-long songs in our show – everybody sings along to that.
Was the Beach Boy sound and lyrics about the beach and fun in the sun, the right music at the right time? Did you reflect the culture or create it?
We we’re reflecting the environment that we grew up in in California and the biggest deal was to go to the beach you know? When I was in high school we would listen to the surf reports and if the surf was up we would head to the beach we would miss an afternoon class or two.
We were just simply reflecting what was going on in our lives. We loved the cars, the wonderful, very powerful, cars from the fifties and the sixties which we as young guys were all enamoured of, so that was our second motif.
The first one was surfing; ‘Surfin’ Safari’, ‘Surfin’ USA’, but the other thing was and “shutdown” and “I get around” and “fun, fun, fun”, all about cars and cruising and those were the two themes of our earliest music – along with the girls – ‘California Girls’, ‘Surfer Girl’, ‘Barbara Ann’ and so on.
Really just reflecting a culture of southern California and our lifestyle growing up.
How did you go from cousins singing at family get-togethers to becoming the Beach Boys?
There was a record producer that asked us if we would do a folk song, we said we like folk music, we like the Kingston Trio, we like Peter, Paul and Mary but we’re not really into folk music as we are into R’n’B and rock‘n’roll, so let us come back to you with something.
So we came back to them a few days later, my cousin Brian and I banged out a song called ‘Surfin’’ that was the first song we recorded and the first song that ever got played on the radio and it became a pretty good size hit in southern California.
Unfortunately, it was on a small label and it didn’t have a lot of distribution so we had to wait until we signed with Capital records in 1962 before ‘Surfin’ Safari’ came out and in the following year ‘Surfin’ USA’ to get the international recognition which we very quickly did.
When the beach boys started in 1961 you were already a husband and father. Did that add pressure for you to make sure the band worked?
It added pressure to my family life there’s no doubt about it. I ended up getting divorced from my first wife Franny who’s a wonderful lady, we had two beautiful daughters and we’ve never had a cross word for each other, but we were so young when we first got married.
And then the stresses and so on of travelling and being popular for the first time in your life - it was a bit much to contend with and so it did not bode well for my first marriage.
Was there chemistry between you and Brian Wilson? Did writing songs come easily?
Absolutely, you see Brian was so gifted musically in terms of chord progressions and chord structures and harmonies and melodies. Very early he adapted like a duck to water when it came to working with musicians in the studio.
I was more into lyrics and concepts and what they call “hooks” I came up with “round, round get around, I get around” - I was always suggesting hooks and concepts and was able to sit there right as Brian was structuring the music right at the piano. I would be coming up with the story lines for the music – the lyrics and that’s how we would work.
And because I wrote right with him, and would be singing out what I was coming up with, it was in my key so many, many of the early hits of the '60s were my singing lead, Brian the high part and constructing the harmonies through the rest of the guys.
You talk in the book about some signs in 1966 that all was not right with Brian Wilson. What concerned you then?
He began using some drugs that made him act kinda strange, and at one time he was very dynamic in the studio and then he became almost like a recluse, for quite a while.
In 1967, 1968 and 1969 [he was] like that, I mean we even installed a studio, Brother records our personal company, at Brian’s home and we did an album called Wild Honey in that studio a song called ‘Darlin’’ on Wild Honey I wrote the words to that, worked with Brian on that.
So he was still available to us musically, but he didn’t have the passion for producing that he once had particularly during the time he was doing the Pet Sounds album which was released 50 years ago this year.
On experimentation in the studio.
The blend was always our obsession, our harmonies and the blend.
That blend is what has distinguished the Beach Boys from so many other groups over the years, you can hear the sound of all of us together
Brian on the high part, me on the low and or the lead, and with all those four part harmonies. That’s been our distinctive sound.
You tell a story in the book about crossing paths with The Beatles. Was there rivalry between the groups?
There was competition and rivalry, but positive.
We were fascinated by The Beatles’ music and we loved it and I think they with us, in fact Paul McCartney has said wonderful things about our song ‘God Only Knows’.
He said really great things about the Pet Sounds album when he first heard that.
Bruce Johnstone, one of the guys in our group, took the acetate of the Pet Sounds album to England with him and played it for Lennon and McCartney.
They heard it and said ‘wow this is really a fantastic album, what are we gonna do?’ Paul McCartney literally said that and he came up with of course Sgt Peppers.
in the Rolling Stone’s 500 albums of all time Pet Sounds is number 2 and Sgt Peppers no 1 – but that’s pretty good company I’d say.
They had their own style Lennon, McCartney and of course Harrison was brilliant as well. I was in India at Maharishi’s invitation and in the spring of 1968, and George Harrison and I both had our birthdays that year in India at Maharishi’s place.
George was so spiritual and a great musician, and a great person and I have a lot in common with him. We both loved our meditation and got a lot out of being there - I still meditate every day.
What part did you play in The Beatles hit ‘Back in the USSR’?
I was at the breakfast table one morning [at Maharishi’s] and Paul came down with this acoustic guitar and played the first verse of ‘Back in the USSR’ for me and he didn’t have the bridge yet, and I said you want to talk about all the girls around Russia.
Like we did in ‘Girls Around the World’ and ‘California Girls’ and he actually did - turns out Sir Paul’s able to craft a tune pretty handily,
He had some advice for you?
We were on the roof of the place we were staying, taking a break, and he advised me to take more care with our album covers and here’s the mastermind of Sgt Peppers brilliant album cover and the Pet Sounds album cover was photographed at the San Diego petting zoo with a bunch of goats and things.
On meeting the Manson family
That was a pretty horrible situation, Dennis [Wilson] had met a couple of girls hitch hiking and brought them back to his house and next thing you knew, we got back from a tour and Charles Manson and these girls were living in Dennis’ house.
They were helping themselves to everything; transportation, food everything and we were actually invited to dinner one time Bruce [Johnstone] and I went over to dinner at Dennis’ invitation and Charlie was there and some guy named Tex, and a whole bunch of girls.
We were the only ones with clothing on; it was just plain weird at the time but it became frightening when the murders started happening.
I got a call at my place in Manhattan Beach, California saying “prepare to die pig” - they were on a rampage.
Unfortunately, my wife at the time had had an affair with Dennis Wilson and they’d gotten one of the Manson girls to babysit our very young children – well that freaked me out.
Once the murders became known, and once we knew who was responsible, I moved to get custody of my children, which I did, because I was just very, very worried about them and the environment they’d been subjected to.
On the lawsuit against Brian Wilson for song writing credits.
My uncle Murray was very angry with Brian, and me for firing him as our manager. When we started I didn’t know what publishing was and he eliminated my name in terms of authorship on songs like ‘California Girls’ ‘I Get Around’ and ‘Surfin’ USA’ and others there’s a list of 35 songs that I had to go to court to establish my authorship.
The reason was that my cousin Brian was in a conservatorship, what that means is he was unable to look after himself and his finances, so he was in a conservatorship; in other words, anything to do with his financial decisions had to go through an attorney that was his conservator.
The attorney didn’t think Brian would have to pay me because of the lapse of time, but that was not in fact true so but it was unfortunate but I had to go to court to establish my authorship which I did and the jury awarded me everything we asked for.
How is Brian now?
If it’s just Brian and I we have a good relationship; but his life had taken one path and I’ve taken another and there’s always someone directing what he can and can’t do.
We tried to get some new music done on our 50th anniversary tour and project. I was told that Brian doesn’t write the way he used to, He and I had had conversations about doing some music together but it was disallowed - and it wasn’t by me.
On still touring at the age of 75.
It’s a pleasure to come out on stage and do what you did as a family hobby and turned out to be a long-lasting profession that still makes people happy.
This is an edited, condensed version of Mike Love's conversation with Jesse Mulligan.

1:15 Why do we remember things differently?
Most of us have had that strange experience where we have a completely different memory of something to everyone else who was there. So why is it our friends and family sometimes tell an alternative version of what happened?
Professor of Comparative Cognition Nicky Clayton is visiting New Zealand with Clive Wilkins who works with her as Artist in Residence at Cambridge University's Department of Psychology.
They approach the concept of memory by combining science and arts. They spoke at the University of Auckland last week and they're giving a presentation at Wellington's Victoria University this evening, about the subjective nature of our perceptions of the past...and of the future.

Beneficiaries pay hundreds to live in caravans
BODY:
Beneficiaries are paying hundreds to live in cabins and caravans in West Auckland, which they say are mouldy and infested with cockroaches. The owners of Western Park Village were not happy when Checkpoint visited.
EXTENDED BODY:
People are paying hundreds of dollars a week to stay at a west Auckland campground as they can't find anywhere else to live in Auckland.
The Western Park Village, in Swanson, advertises directly to people on a benefit, with its website saying it would help with the paperwork needed to get assistance from Work and Income for accommodation costs.
A one-bedroom self-contained unit costs up to $390, while a caravan costs slightly less.
The owners did not want to speak to Checkpoint with John Campbell about the accommodation or how many people staying at the campground were Work and Income clients.
They would not let RNZ's reporter onto the property today, despite an invitation from those staying at the site.
But some of the people living there told Checkpoint some of the accommodation was squalid, with cockroaches and mould.
Casey Smith lived at the park until last month and described life there as chaotic.
"$245 a week for just a shack - not completed. It wasn't furnished or anything."
Mr Smith said he was warned not to expect much from Western Park Village when referred there by Work and Income.
"They said, 'Watch out, it's not the best of places'. They told me to watch for my mail - because mail tends to not arrive," he said.
Terina had been living at Western Park for eight months, with two children under five, in a basic one-bedroom sleepout.
It was horrible living there with children, she said.
Michael had lived at Western Park Village for four months and was living in a caravan, which cost $205 a week.
He said he was happy to have a stable home, and Work and Income, which paid his rent, also paid for his bed.
Michael was already paying them back, but was not sure he would ever clear his debt.
"I've got to get a job anyway. But yeah, I pay back $1 a week or something to WINZ for everything that I've borrowed.
"It's gonna be a while."
The Ministry of Social Development said in a statement it did not "refer" people to accommodation and it did not tell people where they should live, but it did help people pay for their accommodation.
It said it would come back to Checkpoint with the number of people for whom it had paid accommodation expenses at the Western Park Village.

If the plan goes ahead, together they will become the world's largest brewer, making about one out of every three beers around the world.

Wednesday 14 September - Torah and Tech in Israel
Israel has been called the 'Startup Nation', with a flourishing technology sector playing a big role in th e country’s economy. But one group who haven’t traditionally been involved are ultra-Orthodox Jews, known as Haredim. Many men don’t work or serve in the army, spending their lives studying the Torah, subsidised by the government. It’s a way of life that leaves many Haredim in poverty, and other Israelis resenting picking up the tab. David Baker travels to Israel to meet the new breed of high-tech Haredim, and find out how they reconcile taking part in the 'Startup Nation' with traditional Torah life.

Thursday 15 September - Blind Man Roams the Globe #1 of 3
1. Nairobi: When Peter White jets, sails or walks into a new city, it is the sounds, not the sights, which assail him. In this programme he explores Nairobi through the sounds of this African city. In Nairobi he finds a city struggling to reconcile expansion and commercialisation with the hit and miss access to disabled facilities and the worries about safety around the city. He is forced to navigate a strange environment without being able to see his way around: “Having been born blind, I’ve always travelled blind – and for me, sightseeing is more a case of ‘sound-hearing.”
