Why did a Government agency stop battery backups?
BODY:
Why did a Government agency stop battery backups - essential in power outages - being offered on ultra fast broadband contracts?
EXTENDED BODY:
Nine to Noon has found that the requirement for companies installing Ultra Fast Broadband to offer battery backup was scrapped after a Government agency intervened.
UFB services will not work if the power goes out, leaving phone and alarm services vulnerable to outages.
In May Nine to Noon highlighted the pitfalls of phone and alarm services on fibre being useless in a power cut without battery back up.
Now in response to an Official Information Act request we've found that the option of consumers being offered back-up batteries when they get UFB installed was considered, but thrown out.
Crown Fibre Holdings – which is in charge of the Government's two billion dollar UFB rollout – was initially going to ensure service providers like Spark and Vodafone had to offer battery backup.
But it was told by the then Ministry of Economic Development, now the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment- MBIE, to drop the requirement, as there was "no policy basis" to include it.
That was in August 2011, seven months after the Christchurch earthquake when more than 50,000 households lost power and phone services.
On Nine to Noon this morning Kathryn Ryan talked to Chris Bishop, ICT Policy and Programme Manager at MBIE, and Telecommunications Users Association NZ (TUANZ) chief executive, Craig Young.

He has spent his career looking at markets of all kinds and how ‘buyer’ and ‘seller’ come together. In his new book, Who Gets What and Why, he argues we are surrounded by matching markets. From applying for a job, to asking someone out on a date, matching plays a crucial but invisible role in our lives.
Professor Roth says matching is why apps like uber and airbnb are so successful, but while he is an advocate of market forces, as he tells Kathryn Ryan, there must also be rules.

Off the Beaten Track with Kennedy Warne

EXTENDED BODY:
My Matariki - Everything is Connected. Photograph by Kennedy Warne
Matariki, the season of new beginnings, began officially last Thursday. And the shortest day – the winter solstice – is today. So we are in the midst of a time for thinking about endings and beginnings, greetings and farewells, looking back and looking forward. Truly, “the old net is put away; the new net goes fishing."
There are Matariki festivities happening throughout the country, and there are things families can do to make this season meaningful as a signpost of the year. Kiwi Families suggests, among other things, holding a family feast (doubling perhaps as a midwinter Christmas dinner – or as well as!), planting a Matariki tree, sleeping under the stars (perhaps Central Otago residents may want to delay, with lows of minus 7 predicted this week), re-committing to New Year’s resolutions (this is, after all, the beginning of a “new year”) and generally using Matariki as a time to celebrate the past and plan for the future.
If you want to find Matariki (Pleiades) in the night sky, you’ll need to get up early, because the constellation rises just before dawn. And when you do find it, some ideal lines to recite are those of Alfred Lord Tennyson:
Many a night I saw the Pleiads, rising thro’ the mellow shade,
Glitter like a swarm of fireflies tangled in a silver braid.
As Matariki began, the much awaited encyclical letter of Pope Francis addressing climate change, environmental degradation, global economics and the plight of the poor was released.
Some are calling the pope the “caped climate crusader” for his ability to focus international attention on the climate issue where other world leaders and activists have not been able to gain traction. But his letter is a much more wide-ranging examination of humanity’s dismal record on caring for what he calls “our common home".
He hasn’t minced words in his 184-page missive, speaking out forcefully on the evils of consumptive capitalism, the deification of the free market, an obsession with technology and the tyranny of anthropocentrism “our unrestrained delusions of grandeur".
He calls instead for an “integral ecology – renewing a sense of stewardship for earth, rather than considering it a repository of extractable resources.
The pope’s letter comes on top of some other surprising climate statements from unlikely sources. A couple of weeks ago the G7 summit of leading industrialised nations called for decarbonising of the global economy by the end of the century, essentially saying that the fossil fuel era is over. And almost at the same time executives of six European oil companies called for a carbon tax.
I wrote about these events, and wondered if we could be seeing the beginnings of a “climate swerve” – a change in public consciousness that sees opinions solidifying to such a degree that political action is no longer avoidable.
The US historian who coined the term “climate swerve” notes that a crucial ingredient in getting galvanised public awareness is the inclusion of ethics in the discussion. In a sense, then, the pope’s highly ethics-based appeal brings a new element into what has largely been an environmental case against the rising rates of greenhouse gas emissions.
Ethics brings me to my last topic for discussion: the mining of swamp kauri in Northland. Last week Radio NZ broke a story alleging dodgy goings on in Northland regarding the extraction and export of swamp kauri stumps and logs. The Forestry Act 1949 prohibits the export of indigenous timber such as kauri unless it is in the form of a finished or manufactured product, or where the source is the stump or roots of a of a tree from a registered sustainable forest or where the stump or roots have been salvaged from an area that is not indigenous forest land.
The past decade has seen something of a goldrush in swamp kauri extraction, and the suspicion is that the environmental impacts have not been fully appreciated, and that perhaps there has been some creative circumventing of the letter of the law.
What hasn’t been discussed is the question of the ethics of extracting this non-renewable resource. For general guidance, the Resource Management Act states that resources must be sustained so as “to meet the reasonably foreseeable needs of future generations.” Minerals are exempted from this requirement, though no reasons are given. Increasingly, ethicists and philosophers are asking, “What are our obligations to future generations?” Clearly, this is a vital question when considering what actions to take on climate change. Yet politicians are largely silent on the matter, and one wonders to what extent extraction of mineral and non-mineral resources such as swamp kauri should be examined from a future-generations standpoint.
It does seem incongruous that at a time when a disease is threatening the health and perhaps existence of what remains of the vast kauri forests of pre-colonial times, and when a tree-sitter succeeds in getting a residential development involving logging of a kauri tree shelved, that ancient kauri in the wetlands and farm paddocks of Northland should be the subject of an unholy rush to flog off the timber off overseas with a minimum of added value.

As a result, one islander was captured, and, together with another man taken from another island, were brought all the way back to New York city, where they were made to perform in popular shows. That story is now told in a new book by James Fairhead is a professor of Social anthropology at the University of Sussex. The book's called The Captain and "the Cannibal": An Epic Story of Exploration, Kidnapping, and the Broadway Stage. Professor Fairhead is in Sussex.
EXTENDED BODY:
In the late 1700s and early 1800s, moko - the mummified heads of Maori chiefs - were items of curiosity to the Western World and hundreds were taken by explorers.
But American sea Captain Benjamin Morell went a step further when he came to the South Pacific in 1830. He kidnapped an indigenous man called Dako from New Guinea, and put him in a show in New York called “The Cannibals".
Professor James Fairhead tells the story of two men who never considered each other human in the book The Captain and "The Cannibal": An Epic Story of Exploration, Kidnapping, and the Broadway Stage.
Professor Fairhead spoke to Simon Mercep on Afternoons.
On the morning of 13 November, 1830, a twin-masted schooner helmed by American Captain Benjamin Morell approached an uncharted island off the coast of Papua New Guinea.
The islanders were scared. They had never seen men with white complexions.
“The islanders came out in a threatening way,” says Professor James Fairhead from Sussex University.
“They thought it was a ghost ship that would bring them misfortune.”
Professor Fairhead says that misfortune did arrive on that ship. They fired their cannons and killed several men, and took one man named Dako captive.
He was taken to New York by Mr Morell and forced to perform in popular shows.
“The story had just disappeared from the face of the earth. I stumbled upon some traces of Dako, the New Guinean captive in some archives in New York and become interested in what had become of him,” says Professor Fairhead.
He tells the story in his new book, The Captain and "the Cannibal": An Epic Story of Exploration, Kidnapping, and the Broadway Stage.
Before capturing Dako, Mr Morell and his crew had been seeking their fortunes, hunting seals off the coast of New Zealand.
But the seal population had been decimated by hunters who came before and Mr Morell, deeply in debt, came up with another idea to fund his voyages.
“He’s a duplicitous man at heart. He’s desperate to make a living, and he uses Dako,” says Professor Fairhead.
Along with a captive from another island, Mr Morell decides to use the men for entertainment.
“When they got to New York, he declared these were cannibals and he put on a show,” Professor Fairhead explains.
"Dako had only just stepped off this vessel from an island in the Pacific. Suddenly they’re in the midst of 1830’s New York and they were absolutely terrified.”
Professor Fairhead says thousands of spectators would come and see the islands in an exhibit.
But the men had no choice but to do what they were told.
“Morell needed to make money off Dako. Dako on the other hand was totally reliant on the Captain because only the Captain knew where his island was,” according to Professor Fairhead.
Mr Morell made enough money from the shows and books to make a return trip to Dako’s island.
The Captain and "The Cannibal": An Epic Story of Exploration, Kidnapping, and the Broadway Stage reveals what happened on that return voyage, and whether Dako ever got back home again.

New Mosque in Taihape - sanctuary for weary travellers
BODY:
There's a new mosque in the township of Taihape and it can proudly call itself the highest Islamic Centre in New Zealand at 440m above sea level. It was initiated by Constable Abu after he encountered many travel-weary Muslims stopping to pray along busy State Highway One and built by the community of Taihape. Lynda Chanwai-Earle meets the locals and visits the new mosque to learn more.
EXTENDED BODY:
Before the centre was established in 2014, Muslims used to pray by the train station or behind the main public toilets. The mosque serves the general population of the North Island as they travel State Highway One - Constable Saifudin Abu, Taihape
There's a new mosque in the township of Taihape and it can proudly call itself the highest Islamic Centre in New Zealand at 440m above sea level. It was initiated by Constable Abu after he encountered many travel-weary Muslims stopping to pray along busy State Highway One and built by the community of Taihape.
Lynda Chanwai-Earle meets the locals and visits the new mosque to learn more.
ASSALAMUALAIKUM, We are pleased to provide a centre for Muslims to stop, pray and rest in the middle of North Island along the busiest road, SH1.Taihape has long been used by Muslims traveling from Auckland, Hamilton and Taupo to Wellington or Palmerston North ... We pray that you fully utilise the facility and treat it like your own home and Insha Allah, more Islamic Centres like Taihape will sprout on smaller towns around the country. We hope to see you in your next journey! JazakAllah Khair — Ad-Deen Mosque
Followers of the Islamic faith need to pray five times a day. This can be a challenge if you are traveling the long stretches of State Highway One that threads its way down the North Island.
Constable Saifudin Abu recognised the need for a Mosque after he encountered many travel-weary Muslims praying on the side of the road or sometimes behind the public toilets in Taihape.
A traveling Muslim is known as Musafir, in Arabic, the word safar means to walk, to travel to any distance. In religious terminology it means to set off with the intention of walking a distance of at least 3 days, so a person who sets off with such an intention is called a musafir or safari (traveler).
Initially Saifudin invited many back to his home where they were welcomed by his wife and children and given space to pray in comfort but word got around and soon Saifudin was inundated with calls. There is only one family of Muslims living in Taihape; Saifudin, his wife Siti Khalijah and their three children.
That was when Saifudin decided to initiate the building of a new masjid in Taihape, to provide sanctuary for the traveling faithful to pray and cook halal food together and rest before the next leg of their journey.
The brand new masjid, the Ad-Deen Mosque — opened in December 2014 as part of the Taihape Islamic Centre in Taihape.
Saifudin tells me that the mosque was funded by FIANZ (The Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand) as well as donations from mosques around New Zealand. They had reached their funding goal within 2 months of appealing.
And what about the Taihape locals? What did they think about a new mosque being built in their township? I join Saifudin as we walk his beat around the township. He's known affectionately as "Din" to the locals and it was the locals that embraced the project in the first place and then the locals who helped to build the mosque.
Marion Bennett owns the Bennetts Furniture Shop in the centre of Taihape:
It's added such a huge dimension to town. Just to learn about the different religion ... we thought we were a closed community but we're not. Different is just different and its just learning.
Bennetts are also Taihape's local funeral parlor and dry-cleaners. Every business in Taihape doubles up on their services, the local plumbers are also a volunteer fire service, the school receptionist is the local lifeguard. "In Taihape we like to put things out on the street and make things open. You are always welcome - that's what Din does with the mosque."
Bennetts provided the carpet laying services for the mosque and it was a unique job. "The carpet is very special," Saifudin tells me, "It has been imported from Saudi Arabia and has a particular pattern on it to help people pray toward Mecca, the carpet costs more than the mosque itself."
The mosque benefited from a lot of voluntary services. Saifudin's colleague Constable Lomaz is also a builder. Constable Lomaz built the wahdu (washing) area in his free time.
Saifudin himself is a local constable along with six other colleagues in the Central North Island regions, but in regards to the mosque, he must also act as Imam and conduct the call to prayers among other duties.
The opening ceremony on the 6th December 2014 coinciding with Taihape's Santa Parade. I asked Marion if she attended the opening. "Oh definitely!" says Marion, "I attended both openings, the informal one and the official one. Most of the community turned up. There was a great crowd, about 300, and the Santa parade was co-incidentally on the same time - it was so festive, invited Muslim guests in all their amazing cultural dress joined the Santa Parade down the main street of Taihape and everyone was dancing and singing."
The opening included the unveiling of a Mosque plaque and a traditional feast, Saifudin tells me that catering students volunteered their services to make a halal feast for the special occasion.
The Mosque proudly claims to be the highest in New Zealand at 440m above sea level. It's not only a place of worship for followers of Islam, it's also a centre for information and education and now Ad-Deen Masjid a place of sanctuary for the travel-weary musafir.
