[image:59600:full]
New immunotherapy drugs are the hot topic in cancer internationally. They stimulate the body's own immune system to fight disease, providing a possible cure for some patients. With the highest rates in the world of the deadly skin cancer melanoma, and no effective funded treatment for advanced disease, patients here are demanding action over the drug, Keytruda. But the price is eye-watering and Pharmac is questioning the effectiveness. RNZ's health correspondent Karen Brown investigates how good these new-generation drugs are, and the debate over whether or not NZ should fund them.

Life 101
BODY:
How Prisoners are being prepared for their release.
EXTENDED BODY:
By David Steemson
“We’re making pancakes,” the young man yells out to me, as I cross the visitors’ room at Paremoremo Jail. He’s among a group of grey-garbed prisoners, leaning earnestly over electric fry pans that are emitting a buttery sizzle.
These 15 have spent the last three days in this sweaty room, learning what the 'Real World' holds for them, when they’re released. Some have been in jail for more than a decade.
Listen to Life 101:
The Life 101 course was designed to give school leavers some practical life skills, to help them cope with such things as keeping healthy, budgeting, banking, housing, how the stock market works, and getting a job.
Now the course has been taken into Auckland Prison at Paremoremo to help long serving convicts prepare before they’re let out.
It has been so successful that a more comprehensive course is about to be piloted at the prison soon, which has been dubbed 'Life 202'.
Making pancakes comes at the end of the course, and the friendly young prisoner says he’s never done this before.
He’s pleased there is butter and real jam to put on them.
Prisoner *DJ didn’t think he’d ever bake pancakes either.
”I’m more of a steak on the barbecue man myself”
Life 101 is the brain child of two friends who say they were always the kids who asked why they had to learn algebra instead of budgeting and financial literacy at school.
Co-founder Nick Carroll says the resulting course was so successful as a school holiday programme, that the Corrections Department heard about it and decided to run it too.
Nick is now working on Life 202 for prisoners, which will cover some of the subjects in much great depth and will be tested at Paremoremo next month (March 2016) . Life 303 is also being set up as a mentoring programme for prisoners once they leave jail.
A lecturer over the three days is Phil Moon, former real estate man and co-founder of Life 101. As he talks to the prisoners, he’s eloquent but earthy, positive but careful not to oversell his own expertise.
He tells the men: “I was never one to budget, until I realised I was spending money on all this stuff I really didn’t need. Now I look at my budget every week, and give myself a cash allowance for my weekly needs, and that’s it.”
Carroll says it’s important for the course participants to feel they are going to be able to pass on their new knowledge to their children, and Life 202 will provide more skills for that.
The Corrections Department has a target to reduce reoffending by 25-percent by 2017.
Julia Prescott Assistant Director at Auckland says: “While we have a captive audience I think we have a moral responsibility to do what we can to rehabilitate people and get them prepared to cope with life outside, back in society.
"Life 101 is just one of many interventions the prisoner goes through during his time in prison. But a person can still use the skills he’s learned in Life 101 right now in prison”.
Prisoner *Todd says the course has helped him learn about life after prison.
"I’ve been in prison since I was 16, but hopefully my sentence is going to end soon. I need to learn about life on the outside. I’ve never used a credit card, and don’t have a driver’s licence.
"But I’m good with figures and I hope to start putting money away in savings. In ten years from now I might buy a car or put a down payment on a house. I should be saving now, with the bit of money I earn in prison.”.
Prisoner *DJ, who’s also been a jail for years, says: “With long-leggers, when we get out, it’s the small things that trip us up. All the big things have been covered for me, but I’ve got to learn such things as how to deal with money, if I get a good job on the outside.
"When someone gets money they’ve never had before, they want to buy everything they’ve never had before”.
Prisoner *Tash says the course has been positive.
“I’ve enjoyed learning how to make money work for me, and there are steps I can take now while I’m still in prison. Why wait for another four years?”
Another prisoner says: “I didn’t know nothing about the share market, but I did know that money can make a person greedy. It can also do good. Back in my old schools days they never talked about this stuff, and they should be teaching kids now how to value money for themselves.”
At the end of my day at Parry, we’re chatting easily, the felons and I. I can’t ask why they’re in jail, or how long they’ve been there, but some volunteer their stories. They miss their kids. When one discovers where I live, he reminisces about going camping in the regional park nearby as a boy.
They’re not too different from many blokes on the outside, although there’s a common refrain; when they leave jail they will have to stay away from some old friends and family. Bad influences it seems. Also booze and drugs are things to stay away from.
I wonder how easy that is to say and think when you’re in the relative safety of a prison? Probably the test for them is yet to come. On the outside.
So here’s to Life 101.
* Not their real names
The nine parts of Life 101:
1. Personality profiling: who am I?
2. Producing a CV.
3. Preparing for a job interview.
4. Basics of business.
5. Basics of the sharemarket.
6. Basics of property.
7. Health, fitness and wellbeing (includes cooking).
8. Saving money.
9. Personal budgeting.

Transgender stories are hot right now.

But none of these roles are played by Trans-people. A new show in Auckland rides this wave but also bucks that trend. People Like Us is a love story between two trans people, played by trans people and written by a trans woman. Joanna Jayne St John wrote the musical and she tells Justin Gregory it’s a love story just like all the others.

Grand-scale street artist Owen Dippie has left a very large mark on Tauranga, New York and now Sydney. The Tauranga work was his "Larger than Life" project. And they are enormous! His giant spray painting of a Goldie started a craze for others in the Bay of Plenty town. You can't miss the Girl with the Pearl Earring or a couple of homages to Michelangelo adorning the walls of a multi storey car park here...or a three storey building there. Owen's latest work is very timely. He'd been commisioned to spray paint the hoardings of a building renovation in central Wollongong. The result: a David Bowie 'Aladdin Sane' mural.

1.46 Culture jamming coke GIFs, celebrity, and artistic expression
Culture jamming is the practice of subverting an established icon or brand for artistic, political, or comedic reasons. But is this a tool of expression that is being increasing co-opted by the very people and institutions that are being made fun of?
Recently Coca Cola launched an online advertising campaign allowing people to make GIFs to advertise this massive corporation's product. They've made around three and an half thousand words unusable in in their user generated ads. But even so, surely these images are just asking for people to customise unenticing slogans that go against the image the brand so wants to project?
Ian Bogost from the Georgia Institute of Technology, who has written about this campaign for The Atlantic magazine, spoke to Standing Room Only's Shaun D Wilson about culture jamming; which extends to the celebrity mashup art of Brandon Bird.

Te Tai Timu - Strengthening the tide
BODY:
Alexa Cook is at the annual Te Tai Timu Trust Summer camp where the message of safety on the water is promoted to one hundred and thirty five youth from around the country and Justine Murray is at Pukehou Marae with the trust founder, Zack Makoare.
EXTENDED BODY:
In 2006, Rob Hewitt spent three nights and four days out at sea, floating alone along the Kapiti Coast, close to death.
As he floated he thought about family and visualizing their images helped to keep his spirits alive in a very bleak situation.
Following the ordeal, he came up the whakatauki - Kia Manu, Kia Ora (Stay afloat, Stay alive). It’s this experience and his navy background that Rob Hewitt draws on to teach young people about safety in the water. He is an Ambassador for Water Safety New Zealand and spreads the message to marae around the country.
“There are two scenarios - building resiliency and we can pass some of that knowledge to these kids about how resiliency is created, then they can take that from the ocean, from water safety and employ that into their day-to-day lives. The other one is not forgetting who you are: as a kiwi, as a Maori, as a Pasifika, just as a human being; what is it that you want to be remembered for?” –Rob Hewitt
According to Water Safety New Zealand, seventeen people drowned over the summer period from Dec 1st until Feb 10th.
By the same time last year the number was 25.
Keeping safe in the water is one of the life skills being taught to a group of 150 young people at Te Tai Timu Trust’s annual Summer Camp.
Since 2007 many rangatahi (youth) and tamariki (children) have travelled to the Hawkes Bay to learn practical skills from volunteers and experts at these camps. The camp draws its expertise from a wide pool: the Fire Service, Surf lifesaving, Central Hawkes Bay Police and Water Safety New Zealand are all part of the kaupapa.
Rex Timu is the head of the Hastings Mongrel Mob and has two children attending the camp this year.
“Half of our kids don’t know how to swim because one, maybe they haven’t got access to a swimming pool or their parents may not take them to the river or the beach. As parents, as kaitiaki of our kids we have got the responsibility to show them these things, to give them these skills. A lot of these kids come from hard to reach whanau.” - Rex Timu
The kids are taught survival skills in the water including how to find kaimoana safely, how to wear a life jacket and how to swim safely. The programme has had impressive results and the young kids who started in the programme several years ago are now mentors for others.
Te Timu Trust is a Whanau Ora initiative founded by Zack Makoare who says the trust is non-compliant in the sense that he doesn’t vet anyone who wants to be involved. Hastings Mongrel Mob president Rex Timu is a trustee but encourages youth to keep clear of gang life.
Te Taitimu Trust had its genesis when Zack lost his son Kelly to suicide in 2000. It took seven years to overcome the grief and the trust was part of that process. The original intent of the trust’s work was suicide prevention but they have also branched out to include life skills.
“We have got a future group of rangatahi, younger people, gang members, academics, farmers, underneath that we’ve got a rangatahi group, you’ve got to keep that sustainability going of young chiefs coming through, you’ve got to join the gaps first. If I leave this earth I’ve got to know that this kaupapa is still going, it doesn’t just hang on one person” - Zack Makoare
Zack finds peace in his caravan parked just over from Pukehou Marae in the Hawkes Bay. It’s a quiet space that sits close to a church. When he talks about his son Kelly, he recalls that at the time he died there was a stigma attached to the issue, in that you didn’t talk about it openly.
Today, suicide prevention is openly addressed, and Zack Makoare has talked about it through social media and on a Maori Television documentary series, He Ara Wairua.
He worked at the freezing works for twenty plus years and remembers when he and his mate Joe Williams (now Judge Joe Williams) working as Fly Swatters, shooing flies away from the meat, and holding fly swats in their gumboots. Eventually he got the sack but on reflection says it was a blessing in disguise.
From there Zack worked for nine years at Te Aute College, his old school haunt.
