Chris Anderson talks to Kathryn Ryan about the power of a good talk.
EXTENDED BODY:
Chris Anderson is the Curator of TED, a non-profit devoted to sharing ideas, primarily through the medium of 'TED Talks' - talks of no longer than 18 minutes offered free online to a global audience. He says, done right, a talk can be more powerful than anything in written form: the key to unlocking empathy, stirring excitement, sharing knowledge and promoting a shared dream. More than 2000 TED talks have been posted online since 2006, translated into more than 100 languages, with a viewership estimated at 1 billion per year.
Here are some of Chris's tips for delivering a TED Talk:
Use fear as your motivator
[Public speaking] is terrifying and I think it does go back to this fear of humiliation. The thing is, now, you’re not going to be thrown out of the village and never eat again. Most audiences are actually really welcoming. First step for your rational mind is to say ‘Okay, let’s be reasonable here’. The second is, what fear is for. Fear is motivation to act to avoid that fearful thing happening. In this case there are specific actions you can take.
Be prepared
The single most important thing is to actually prepare for your talk. A lot of us assume that the way you get ready for a talk is to write down some bullet points, psych yourself up, and then go out there and wing it. If you’re nervous about a talk, rehearse it. Rehearse it in your room, rehearse it with a few friends, record it if you like, on your smart phone. Over that process you can move that nervousness into a feeling of excitement. It is a very close feeling between those two and that means you can bring energy with you onto the stage, which is a good thing.
Decide how you are going to approach it from the start
When you talk to TED speakers, there are two different paths that people take. There is the memorisation path and then there’s the speaking in the moment path and they’re very different types of preparation, I think it is really important to decide early on which path you are going to take.
The wonderful thing about memorising is that you can get every word exactly the way you want it, you craft the perfect talk that efficiently shares your idea in the amount of time. The trap is, apart from the possibility of outright freezing, is that you end up sounding a bit robotic, and that is the last thing you want. Really the cure for that is to know it so well that the talk is in you. When you know it as well as you know the song happy birthday. When you’re singing someone happy birthday, you’re not trying to remember the words, you’re looking at them and you’re full of love and wishing them joy. If you can get to the point where you know your talk so well that you’re not struggling to remember it, but you’re just focused in the minute and just talking to people. That is a very powerful way of giving a talk.
But the other way of giving a talk is to not memorise it, to speak from a carefully constructed talk, but then the other trap is that you end up rambling, you miss out key parts or you way over-shoot.
So again, I think the key is to prepare a lot, to actually give the talk many times, and in the process you’ll probably unintentionally memorise the talk anyway. There are two different ways of constructing the talk, not so much two different ways of giving the talk, but either way when you give the talk you know it, but you’re present in the moment, communicating to the audience. But don’t get trapped in the middle, don’t half memorise it, it’s a disaster.
Speak for others; speak for your idea
One of the most beautiful things that [Monica Lewinsky] did was write on her script ‘This matters’. I think that’s actually really powerful, is to remind yourself that it’s actually not about you, you’re doing this in service to an idea. She wanted to speak out, she wanted to highlight the issue of cyberbullying. She had been Victim Zero almost, on the internet and had seen the stories of teenagers committing suicide because it is so intense in this world of social media and text that we are in. It can really destroy people without really knowing what they’re doing. She wanted to speak out on this and I think that was a big part of it that kept her going.
Remember: the audience wants you to do well
If you’re nervous, I’ve often seen audiences embrace and love speakers who are nervous. I find that there’s something authentic about it, sometimes they even say, ‘I’m a little nervous, but actually I am really passionate about this, so bear with me. We’re going to get this through.’ People, even when they freeze, audiences clap and say, ‘Take your time, it’s okay’. It always feels worse for you on stage than to the audience.
Do push ups before going on stage
We had a TED where we had Edward Snowden, the whistleblower, who was very much in the news a couple of years ago, and he gave a talk via telepresence robot and that was a little bit nervy, but then we felt like we had to give equal time to the NSA. So I was due to interview them over a video connection and I just felt like the stakes were quite high in this one, I certainly felt quite nervous beforehand. I found myself physically shaking coming into this and I just stopped in the corridor and started doing press ups and I kept going and I kept going. It was wild. I ended up doing 30 or 40% more than I would usually do and it was pure adrenaline. Adrenaline is this drug that is telling your body to fight or fly. You have to work it off, because it is that that is causing the shaking, and if you can burn it off before coming on stage it certainly calms you down.

Marty Duda's artist of the week - Joan Jett
BODY:
With Runaways vocalist Cherie Currie about to tour New Zealand this week, Marty is revisiting the career of her former bandmate Joan Jett. Joan was initially the rhythm guitarist for the band when they formed under the "guidance" of producer Kim Fowley in the mid-1970s with Joan contributing to the songwriting on their now-acclaimed debut album. When Currie left the band, Joan took over the lead vocals. After the band's demise, Joan Jett proceeded to launch her solo career with the help of industry veteran Kenny Laguna. After being turned down by all the major labels, Joan's first solo album, Bad Reputation was released on her own Blackheart label. When the record became a hit in 1981, she signed with Sony and cranked out a string of punky-poppy hits such as I Love Rock & Roll, Crimson & Clover and Light Of Day…many of them covers of songs from the 1960s. Since then, Joan Jett has become an inspiration to female rockers the world over and she's still recording and performing.

Investigating slow slip earthquakes with HOBITTS
BODY:
Laura Wallace a research scientist at The University of Texas and project leader of a pioneering undersea quake project in Hawkes Bay, known as HOBITTS (The Hikurangi Ocean Bottom Investigation of Tremor and Slow Slip). She talks to Kathryn Ryan about how her study is contributing crucial information to the understanding of earthquake and tsunami risk for New Zealand and worldwide, by shedding light on previously undetected tectonic movements.
EXTENDED BODY:
Laura Wallace has been investigating slow motion or “slow slip” earthquakes and New Zealand's offshore quake threat.
She is a research scientist at The University of Texas and project leader of a team of team of scientists from New Zealand, the United States and Japan who are pioneering undersea quake project in Hawkes Bay known as HOBITTS (The Hikurangi Ocean Bottom Investigation of Tremor and Slow Slip).
Using a network of highly sensitive seafloor pressure recorders, she and her team have located, the world's shallowest slow slip events and discovered that they can occur in the same location as large quakes.
The discovery was made by conducting the world's first detailed investigation of centimetre-level seafloor movement during a 2014 slow slip event at the Hikurangi subduction zone.
It's an important discovery as it gives insight into activity along subduction plate boundaries, like the North Island's east coast, where the world's largest earthquakes and tsunamis are generated.
And it has the potential to improve hazard modelling.
Walters talks to Kathryn Ryan about how her study is contributing crucial information to the understanding of earthquake and tsunami risk for New Zealand and worldwide, by shedding light on previously undetected tectonic movements.
Read an edited snapshot of their conversation
KR: We spoke to you last year before the results were in, but they are more exciting than you expected?
LW: Yes they were! It was kind of a high-risk project and I was concerned that we wouldn’t get it to work and about getting some instruments back. But we got all of our instruments back and the data looked much, much better than I ever expected.
KR: Are you seeing things that scientists had not been able to see, record or analyse before?
LW: What we were looking for were basically centimetre-level vertical movements of the seafloor which has been a really, really hard problem to tackle. People have been able to look at metre-level movement – in terms of tectonic movement and so forth, in earthquakes and volcanic events, but on these more centimetre-level plate movements on the sea floor were more difficult to see and we were able to do this.
KR: The slow slip is like a continuous movement that we still call an earthquake, right?
LW: Yes, it’s exactly like an earthquake - and involves more rapid movement along a fault line and a slow slip event is exactly the same thing but the earthquake happens in seconds and the slow slip events can take days to weeks, sometimes even years to occur.
KR: Why is the “Hikurangi Mega Thrust” area of such interest to you?
Well the particular area where we were doing the experiment, which is offshore Gisborne, is of great interest because the slow slip events we observe there are incredibly shallow. So it’s probably one of the best places in the world to really try and understand why these things happen.
Most other well-studied slow slip areas are where slow slip events happen very deep beneath the land, like 30-40km deep. So it’s much less accessible. Whereas offshore Gisborne we can have really dense instruments and really observe where these things are happening, we can image the properties of the crust at a very high level and we can actually drill into where they’re happening and sample the rocks and look at the conditions that they’re happening under. [And we can] answer a lot of questions about why these slow slip events occur.

The project is called Stratus, and is funded by the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment (MBIE) and is being worked on by a team of leading Cloud security researchers and experts from University of Waikato, University of Auckland, Unitec Institute of Technology and Cloud Security Alliance (CSA).
The head of Waikato Univesity's cyber security lab head Dr Ryan Ko explains what is involved.

Repression and resistance in Iran
BODY:
Academic Yassamine Mather is a long-time Iranian Marxist and a former activist in the Fedayeen. We'll ask her what was it like to experience the revolution in 1979, and her take on the current situation in Iran.
EXTENDED BODY:
Academic Yassamine Mather is a long-time Iranian Marxist and a former activist in the Fedayeen.
She is also the chair of the UK based group Hands Off the People of Iran (HOPI), it's a leftist anti-war group led mostly by exiled Iranian and British socialists.
The group is opposed to Western military intervention in Iran, which it considers imperialist.
It also criticises the government of Iran, while advocating radical anti-government secularist groups in that country.
Recently, sanctions that have crippled Iran's economy were lifted after it agreed to roll back the scope of its nuclear activities.
Elections held this year had Moderate and centrist allies of Iran's reformist President Hassan Rouhani winning a second round of parliamentary elections, taking more than 30 of the 68 seats up for grabs. The conservatives, on the other hand, were credited with just over 20.
Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif recently visited New Zealand perhaps indication a willingness by the Iranian government to normalise relationships in the wake of the nuclear agreement.
So where does this all leave leftists, socialist, secularists, women, resistors are thing changing for what we would probably describe as 'the better or is repression still prevalent in Iran?
She talks to Paul Brennan about what was it like to experience the revolution in 1979, and her take on the current situation in Iran.

Kastner #2 - For some Rudolf Kastner is a hero, for others a traitor. Mark Lawson explores the cultural retellings of a story that began in Nazi occupied Hungary in 1944. At the time Kastner, a lawyer and a journalist, was deputy chairman of the Relief and Rescue Committee. He negotiated with Adolf Eichmann to save Jewish lives but did he pay for them with other Jewish lives? In this programme, Mark Lawson talks to those within Israel - including the playwright Motti Lerner, the Chief Historian of Yad Vashem Professor Dina Porat, and the literary critic Professor Dan Laor - who have all wrestled with Kastner's story and the issues it raises.
