The revival of the book shop
BODY:
At a time when book shops are closing their doors in the face of online buying, we talk to one that is bucking the trend. Three years ago the University Book Shop (Otago) was in the red to the tune of more than $200,000. But it has turned things around by changing the way it does business and connects with the local community, and is now making a healthy profit. Phillippa Duffy is the General Manager of University Book Shop (Otago).
EXTENDED BODY:
Thriving in the digital world has required a change of tactics by the University Book Shop (Otago).
In 2012, University Book Shop (Otago) had posted a loss of more than $200,000. It was a time when other reputable book stores were closing their doors because of on-line competition from services such as Amazon. The casualties continued, with Quilters in Wellington closing last year and Parsons and Capital books the year before.
Phillippa Duffy took over as general manager of University Book Shop (Otago) in 2012.
"I walked to this wonderful shop that was still the beautiful store that I remembered, and then upon reading the financial accounts realised that, good grief, the situation behind it was somewhat challenging."
Book shops were facing challenges at the time from online buying, shopping offshore and changes in margins for selling of text books.
Changes in the student market, which made up about half the turnover, also had an effect. "TradeMe and other organisations, social media, chat, that could make the swapping and the buying and selling of second hand text books much more easy."
Staff numbers were reduced two-and-a-half years ago, from 19 full time equivalents to 13, and normally 'behind the scenes' book research staff became part of 'front of house' sales.
Ms Duffy told Nine to Noon that having the research staff to engage with book buyers had proven to be vital to the store's survival.
"There were some incredibly talented and experienced people with many years in the book industry, and wonderful fabulous knowledge of books."
For book shops, the fundamental need was to make adequate money to continue, otherwise they could not continue to take a chance on new writers nor support existing writers.
"All done again with the credibility of the booksellers to be able to have opinions on what's being written, what's good, what's not, what worked for them, even what our other customers are reading," Ms Duffy said.

Conspiracy theory theorist, Rob Brotherton
BODY:
Far from being dimwits in tin hats - a new book suggests there is a conspiracy theory in all of us. Its author Rob Brotherton talked to Nine to Noon about his work.
EXTENDED BODY:
Far from being dimwits in tin hats - a new book suggests there is a conspiracy theory in all of us. Author and psychology professor Rob Brotherton talked to Nine to Noon about his work.
His book, Suspicious Minds: Why We Believe Conspiracy Theories, seeks not to debunk or support conspiracy theories, but to understand what about them is so attractive to people.
Mr Brortherton said it was very hard to define what a conspiracy theory was, as there was no clear black and white definition, although some theories were more plausible than others.
One of the most widely believed conspiracy theories, currently, is that the 9/11 attacks were an inside job.
Mr Brotherton said surprising numbers of people agreed with various versions of the theories.
"So if you ask people simply 'do you think the American government isn't telling the whole truth about the attacks?' then about half the American public agree with that, according to some surveys."
Mr Brortherton said there was a stereotype that conspiracy theorists were a small, paranoid fringe of people, but research indicated that wasn't the case.
"In fact what the research shows is that conspiracy theories, or conspiracy thinking, seems to be wired into our brains. It's how our minds work."
He said our brains were wired to assume that when something big happened in the world, there must have been a proportionately significant cause.
A perfect example was conspiracy theories about the assassination of John F. Kennedy, he said.
Many conspiracy theorists believe Lee Harvey Oswald didn't work alone in his assassination of the US president.
"Perhaps part of the reason is that we are wired to assume that just one guy... could just get out of bed that day and change the course of history. That doesn't sound plausible according to this bias.
"So then we hear conspiracy theories...and that seems more plausible according to this proportionately bias."
But Mr Brortherton said there was no way to disprove conspiracy theorists.
"Any evidence that we see... can be interpreted as consistent with their theory.
"So if there's no evidence at all to support the theory, you'd expect that because the conspirators are covering it up."
He said there were some conspiracy theories that influenced people's choices, such as those around vaccines.
"We've seen the consequences of that around the world. We've seen these outbreaks of measles and other preventable diseases as a response to the conspiracy theories that urge people to leave their children vulnerable to these diseases."
Mr Brotherton said his approach with his book wasn't to debate the facts of conspiracy theories.
"Maybe they're true, maybe they're not. We're not interested in that... what we're trying to answer is why might people believe them, regardless of whether they're true or not.
"If there was a conspiracy theory we'd all like to know about it. But we don't want to believe things without good reason."

NZ director of Paris art fair FIAC, Jennifer Flay
BODY:
Jennifer Flay is the New Zealand-born gallerist who transformed a dying Paris art fair into one of the best in the world. When she became director of Foire International d'Art Contemporain - broadly translated as international contemporary arts fair - in 2003, it was its thirtieth birthday and there were headlines about whether its commemorations were a "birthday or funeral". When Jennifer Flay took over, she was still recovering from a car accident that almost killed her... it had left her in a coma with a broken neck, head injuries and many months of recovery. She'd lost her home, the contemporary art gallery she had set up - and in her journey to repair her life, she picked up the FIAC, determined that it too, would thrive. And it has. It's now one the world's most important international art fairs with 182 participating galleries at 2015's festival. And for her efforts in putting Paris back at centre stage on the contemporary art scene Jennifer was awarded France's highest decoration in October 2015, the Legion d'honneur.

Star Wars Inspired Food: The Forks Awaken!
BODY:
From a galaxy far far away and onto the dessert plate, British chef and culinary artist Andy Kelly tells Nine to Noon how the Star Wars science fiction series has inspired his dishes.
EXTENDED BODY:
From a galaxy far far away and onto the dessert plate, the seventh film in the Star Wars science fiction series has inspired British chef Andy Kelly to put his Jedi-like art and culinary skills to good use.
The galactic gourmet has created puddings such as a Millennium Falcon zabaglione parfait in a tribute to the Ewoks planet Endor and a gin and tonic lightsaber.
A former art student as well as a "massive" Star Wars fan, Mr Kelly said he used food as a medium to express art.
His first Star Wars creation was a millenium falcon, based on a Snickers bar with toffee flavours, and containing peanut butter mixed with tapioca maltodextrin.
"It's dry powder that then turns back into liquid as it goes into your mouth, so it's quite an interesting flavour combination, different textures."
He said the whole feel of the dish was based on the falcon's escape from the desert planet Mos Eisley.
"The peanut butter soil really looks like sand... and that filled the base with the falcon escaping, and we put some UV light in behind it so it glowed up the back of the falcon and made it look like one of the scenes from the film."
Mr Kelly said the death star was made of vanilla ice cream covered with a dark chocolate shell picking up the detail, and finished with an edible silver spray adding a final gloss to the outside.
No Star Wars cuisine would be complete without a lightsaber. Mr Kelly's creation, conjured out of gin and tonic, was made as an intermediate course, a palate cleanser. He said the quinine in tonic gave it an ultraviolet (UV) glow.
"By freezing the gin and tonic we managed to be able to get a hilt on it that projected a UV light through the frozen gin and tonic lightsaber and made it glow up and give it a lightsaber effect."
He said the latest fashion for plating food was a lot more artistic, with more leeway for creativity such as using general household objects to create dishes. The style was more random, and less precise, uniform and symmetrical.
"Now it's more acceptable to play around a little bit and put a little bit of yourself on the plate as well - creativity, even using decorating tools from DIY stores.
"The thing you put the tiling glue on the wall with, people are using those to spread purees out and it gives a really nice effect, using general household objects that are not necessarily for food."
Recipe for Chocolate Marquise (for Millennium Falcon)
Ingredients
300g good quality dark chocolate
2tbsp Chambord (raspberry liqueur)
3 large eggs
3tbsp honey
300ml double cream
cocoa for dusting
50g caster sugar
Method
Melt chocolate over a pan of simmering water
Add Chambord as cooling
Whisk eggs until light and fluffy
Add honey and sugar, continue to whisk egg mixture over simmering water until you reach the ribbon stage.
Whisk double cream to soft peak stage then fold into egg mixture.
Once incorporated pour in the chocolate and fold together.
Pour final mixture into moulds and dust with cocoa.
Put in the fridge to set for at least 3 hours.
Once set it can be moulded into any shape.

He's started a programme called Farm to Food Pantry. And his organisaton has delivered about two hundred million pounds of fresh produce to those in need. David is the executive director of Rotary First Harvest.

The USDA estimated 31% of the food grown in the United States in 2010 went uneaten.
David Bobanick's organisation Farm to Food Pantry has delivered around 100 million kilos of fresh produce to those in need in his home state of Washington. He tells Jesse Mulligan that it's time we enter the 'action phase' in the fight against food waste.

"Boat People" - a Vietnamese family remembers
BODY:
More than 3 million people were killed during the Vietnam War; more than half were Vietnamese civilians. For the Chung family their initial journey through tragedy has turned into a celebration of life through their food after they arrived here as part of the first wave of former refugees, known then as 'the boat people' from Vietnam. Lynda Chanwai-Earle meets the Chung family in Wellington to find out more.
EXTENDED BODY:
Nhu Bich Chung (Nikki) was born in war-torn Vietnam. Nikki can't remember much about her hell boat ride from Vietnam to Malaysia as a child refugee. She was only a toddler at the time. Her parents can recall only too vividly these horrendous memories but they can't bear to open old wounds. Instead their eldest daughter Nikki relays some of their experiences for me.
I’m at NAM D Restaurant in the heart of Wellington with Nikki, her mother Thu Thi Le Nguyen-Chung and Nikki's younger sister Tranj. Nikki tells me her father Vinh The Chung is away on this occasion so it's up to the women in the family to share their story. Nikki's mum Thu struggles with English so she and Nikki chat in Vietnamese and Nikki translates for me.
Tranj's children Thomas (6) and Abigail (3) happily play in the background (Aunty Nikki's restaurant is a favourite haunt) while I learn what life was like as one of the original ‘Boat People’. It was a journey that started in Rạch Giá, Southern Vietnam for this remarkable Wellington family.
Vietnam’s history dates back around 2000 years. Northern Vietnam and southern China were peopled by many ethnic groups, During the 1,000 years between independence from China in the 10th century and the French conquest in the 19th century Confucianism reigned and Vietnamese society changed little.
But the Vietnam War (which began in 1954) was an armed conflict between the communist regime of North Vietnam and its southern allies, known as the Viet Cong, against South Vietnam and its principal ally, the United States. The war occurred ultimately against the backdrop of an intense Cold War between two global superpowers: the United States and the Soviet Union.
Over 3 million people were killed in the Vietnam War; more than half were Vietnamese civilians. President Nixon finally ordered the withdrawal of U.S. forces in 1973. In 1975, communist forces seized Saigon, ending the Vietnam War, the country was unified as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam.
Post-war Vietnam was unbearable for many of the surviving civilians and so many fled. The term ‘boat people’ came from the flight of thousands of refugees leaving Vietnam's coast to cross the sea via boat or ship. Countless lives were tragically were lost.
Rạch Giá is a provincial city and the capital city of Kien Giang province in Vietnam. It is located on the eastern coast of the Gulf of Thailand, 250 kilometres southwest of Ho Chi Minh City.
Nikki tells me that she and her parents left Rạch Giá in the middle of the night, escaping in one of the many over crowded boats covertly leaving Vietnam. The Chung's sold everything they had to secure a passage on their boat. They were forced to leave their families behind in order to risk death at sea.
The Chung's boat was attacked by Thai pirates several times on their journey. People died, everything the Chung's had was stolen at gunpoint. Nikki was only a baby at the time. Nikki tells me that her parents arrived on the shores of Malaysia with nothing but the clothes they wore, clutching their only child. It was a miracle this family of three survived.
The Chungs endured a further 9 months in a refugee camp in Malaysia before respite finally came through UNHCR. Nikki was just 3 years of age when she and her parents arrived in Masterton in 1980. Nikki and her parents were one of the first wave of Vietnamese families and former refugees to come to New Zealand.
Mum's first memory was eating roast potato and lamb. Lamb had a very strong meat flavour and we struggled to eat it at the time but now we love it, especially marinaded on the BBQ!
Nikki’s sister Tranj and younger brother Eric were born in New Zealand but for Nikki she grew up witnessing how challenging life was for her parents. They arrived with post-traumatic stress and no English. However the Chungs are full of gratitude for the Rotary sponsors and the Masterton community that rallied around this newly arrived, fragile refugee family.
"When we first arrived my mother was pregnant with my sister so she couldn't go to work but my parents went to English classes at night."
A total of 6 refugee families settled in Masterton. Nikki tells me that the Chungs stay in touch with these families even now.
"Back then in 1980 we arrived with six other families but we were the only Asians at our local schools. The other families sent their kids to Catholic schools, so I found myself being the only Asian child at my school."
"Our parents wanted us to be totally immersed in Kiwi culture, they wanted us to fit in here. At home we would speak Vietnamese and we ate Vietnamese food but at school we were totally immersed in Kiwi culture."
Nikki tells me that she and her mother first traveled back to Vietnam when she turned 18 in the late 1990's. It was a culture shock. Nikki says the poverty they encountered was a poignant reminder just how lucky she and her siblings were to grow up as privileged children in New Zealand.
We are so grateful to our parents. They sacrificed so much for us, firstly to get us here and then to work so hard to give us a better life.
A lot has happened since then. Nikki decided to try hospitality after a successful career in marketing. Nikki and her family were some of the few Vietnamese in Wellington to create authentic cuisine for the region when Nikki opened their popular Nam D Restaurant off Willis Street in the CBD around 6 years ago.
Her mum Thu's special recipes are part of the menu and Thu still helps out at the restaurant taste testing and preparing the sauces.
And don't forget the Chung grandchildren Abigail and Thomas. Their favourite food is traditional pho, beef noodle broth. These days Thu can be found in the back of Nikki's restaurant helping the Vietnamese chef make this dish for them. It takes more than 6 hours to slow cook the beef brisket with spices like star of anise and the broth must be almost clear. These quintessential dishes are from Thu's own home cooked recipes and a real taste of cuisine from across Vietnam.
And on the topic of food, it’s a busy Friday lunchtime. NAM D is filling up fast as Nikki treats me and her friends to beetle-nut leaf wrapped beef rolls and classic drip-drip coffee, followed by a bowl of their delicious steaming pho. I'm relishing the taste of lovingly prepared traditional Vietnamese dishes.
For the Chung family their initial journey through tragedy has turned into a celebration of life through their food.

Tuesday 19 January: The Truth About Diabetes #1 of 4 (Sri Lanka)
A staggering 350 million people live with type-2 diabetes worldwide and it’s set to rise to half a billion in 2 decades’ time. Type-2 diabetes is a disease partly of our own making. Sedentary lifestyles, fast food and sugary drinks are all to blame, but the real picture is far more complex. Over four programmes, The Truth About Diabetes visits Sri Lanka, Mexico, Tonga and the United States to find out what really lies behind the epidemic, and what doctors, policy makers, and the patients themselves, are doing to try to turn the situation around.

After the terror attacks in Paris, the world’s attention turned to an inner-city district of the Belgian capital, Brussels, where several of the attackers came from. Molenbeek has been notorious for many years as a breeding-ground for Islamist extremism – and the Belgian government vowed to “clean it up”. But do the authorities really have any plan to prevent the radicalisation of young Belgians? Tim Whewell has been travelling back and forth to Brussels since the Paris attacks to talk to local people as they hold up a mirror to themselves and search for explanations – and attempt to have a dialogue with a sometimes dysfunctional state.
