NZ musicians band together for Black Lives Matter cause

Auckland musicians unite to raise money and awareness for the Black Lives Matter movement as it protests against police violence in the US.
EXTENDED BODY:
New Zealand musicians united in Auckland this week to send a message of solidarity to racial minorities. About 40 artists, including P-Money and Che Fu took to the stage for charity to raise awareness of the Black Lives Matter movement at the Neck in the Woods bar on K road.
Black Lives Matter has been at the forefront of protests over police killings of black people in the United States.
One of the organisers behind the event, DJ and producer Soraya Le Pread says racial profiling and gun violence in America is something New Zealanders should care about.
“I grew up in New Zealand. I was born in Waikato hospital and I grew up in Parnell. My dad is African-American, my mum is Persian and I have lived in America for a while and I kind of got familiar with what has been going on over there.
“When I came back, a couple of my friends – after all of the recent activity that has been happening in the news – who are not African-American, or African, or American, expressed that they felt like they wanted to do something to raise awareness or do something to say this is inhumane and it is not right.”

Mind over Manner
BODY:

EXTENDED BODY:
Sue Haldane is the founder of a charity that uses the power of theater to help people get inside the minds of people with autistic spectrum and attention deficit disorders.
Her latest workshop is focusing on helping police and other first responders deal with the neuro-diverse community.
Sue points out that 80 per cent of offenders are estimated to have neurological disorders and as a parent of an autistic child herself, she thinks it is critical for the wider community to have a better understanding of how their minds work.
Read an edited excerpt of the interview below:
We’ve had some very high-profile cases where clearly [neurological disorders] are a factor. Not understanding a person in a situation has led to some really awful outcomes. Has this been a big motivator for you as well as in everyday life; being able to better communicate with people who have neurological disorders?
Well, yes. My first knowledge of this came when I was directing devised theatre in secondary schools. A lot of very, very anxious students would be coming and they would flourish in the drama class and a social network that was shaped to foster their capabilities, really. A lot of these teenagers were what you would call sensory seekers. They were always looking for more energy and they wanted more to be happening, so they loved the drama when they got into it.
But also for me, as a result of having a child who is now 21 years old, he was with Asperger’s and ADHD, which made learning in a school environment difficult. It was a really nerve-wracking process as a parent to see your child not flourish. It was isolating. People often judged what was happening or said that I needed to do something, but I didn’t know what to do.
Because of my background in theatre and working with youth, I got activated in making something happen.
Back in time, I worked a lot in prisons and judicial systems using role-play work. What I have done now is studied more and advanced more into using applied theatre work. We don’t just do role play, but we use theatre practitioners and we create workshops that really enable parents and youth workers and social workers and people in youth law to fast track learning what is going on with these teenagers.
This is all about having a better understanding of what someone else is experiencing so that your responses and your actions are best tailored, right?
Absolutely. There’s very much this thing about needing to fix them. They talk about them being disordered, disabled, dysfunctional or deranged. A lot of these kids with ADHD or ADD are incredibly bright. As we know also with Asperger’s or autism, there is a lot of high intelligence going on there and they are micro-focussed. But what there isn’t an understanding of by the wider community and the outside eye, they will often say to the parents, “You need to do this”, or “You should do that”, or “That kid needs a good kick up the butt”. And actually, those classic parenting books don’t work. So as a parent, you get this immediate knot in your stomach because you’re being told what we have to do for your child, when actually it doesn’t work.
These kids don’t change. They’re not linear thinkers. They don’t think in the same way about time as we do. A book by Gabor Matte, called Scattered, really helped me understand a lot about ADHD and ADD. It talked a lot about how those people think about the now, and the not-now. They have a really different sense of time. They don’t have a sense of outcome.
While they are very good hearted, they may jump in… the bully may chuck the shoes up into the tree, and the good-hearted person who is hyperactive will jump up that tree without thinking, go up and get the shoes for the person who is wanting their shoes back, but actually in their impulse and in their desire to please, they fall down, break their arm and out comes the teacher, really, really angry and reacting to the fact that you’re not allowed to climb trees at school.
So we have that whole self-fulfilling prophecy that keeps getting reinforced that adults are hostile and can’t be trusted and then we get into this conflict cycle that then result in these kids going off the rails. They’re angry.

Our Cat Behaviour expert answers your feline questions
BODY:
Confused by your cat's behaviour? listen here from some tips from Professor Kevin Stafford, who specialises in cat behaviour
EXTENDED BODY:
Kevin Stafford is a professor in ethology, (animal behaviour) at Massey University.
He answers some general questions about cats and answers some audience queries about their furry friends.
Here is an edited excerpt from his discussion with Jesse Mulligan:
JM: What’s the biggest problem people tend to have with cats?
KS: The biggest problem is that cats actually spray inside the house. So when things change or they get a little bit anxious they’ll often back up against something and spray on the wall or something like that. .. We’ve been treating that from a veterinary perspective for a long time. and treating is reasonably successfully for a long time. It usually means there’s something going on in the cat’s environment that’s making them anxious – like a new baby, a new cat, something like that.
JM: So you remove the anxiety and you stop the spraying?
KS: Yeah, cats spray because they’re marking their territory, they’re telling people that they’re here. But when they get anxious they spray a bit more because we theorise that they live in an aura of their own smell, so when they get anxious they life the level of their own smell – this is a hypothesis.
JM: Do cats feel emotion?
KS: Cats certainly feel pain. And they certainly feel anxiety. I’m not too sure that they get embarrassed. Do they experience grief? A lot of people think they do, but I’m not too sure… We tend to anthropomorphise about what cats are experiencing, but whether they do [feel these emotions] or not, is another question.
Audience questions:
Carmel asks:
“Every now and again I suffer from sudden rushes of blood to the head and acquire another dependant. The last such addition to the household came in the somewhat less than svelte form of "Puss".
Alas if only her feline habits were as pedestrian as her given name.
1. She refuses to leave the bedroom .
2. She insists on using only a dirtbox in the ensuite bathroom.
3. Use of said dirtbox will only be contemporaneous with use of toilet. i.e she will only perform necessary ablutions in tandem with a human.
4. Preferred sleeping position is on my face.
5. Attempts to limit food intake to control her expanding girth lead to shrieks of nocturnal rage. ( I've raised less demanding newborns )
Fond of her though I am, threats of a trip to the vet from which she will not return if she continues her unreasonable behaviour have, to date, proved woefully ineffective.
Your Cat Behaviouralist is my last hope.”
KS: If we start with trying to get here to reduce her girth, you could try putting here on a diet – a specific cat diet which will keep her girth down.
In regards to her refusing to leave the bedroom, you can pick her up and take her out of the bedroom. Maybe a little a little bit of telling this cat what is acceptable. So if she refuses to leave the bedroom I would pick her up and take her outside or out of the bedroom.
The fact that she uses a dirt box only in the ensuite bedroom, for a lot of people it would be a very positive thing, in a sense that it is a bathroom and a sensible place to have a dirt box.
If you don’t want this, you can retrain Puss to use a litter tray in the laundry. So put a litter tray in the laundry and a bed, maybe some food in different corners and I hope she will use the litter tray. But given that she will only go when someone is present that’s a new one on me…
So I could be inclined to retrain this cat to go to the toilet in another room in the house.
As for her sleeping on your face – a big fat cat sleeping on your face is not good, so maybe try getting her to sleep somewhere else for a while, and if she does go through these shrieks of feline rage, you might just have to put on a pair of ear muffs and grin and bear it.
Denise asks:
“Introducing Mac, 2yo male white & ginger long haired ragdoll cross.
We inherited Mac 3 months ago and while we adore him he has a terrible habit of attacking our sofas.
Mac has various scratching poles and mats, which he loves to use. Also anytime we see Mac scratching the sofa we spray water at him immediately but all to no avail!
Any other tips would be great.
Cheers, Denise”
KS: This is a very common problem. When Mac is scratching the sofa he is either literally doing his nails or he is trying to make the sofa smell the way he wants it to smell. It is unlikely that he is doing it specifically because of anxiety… and he’s doing it and you spray water at him, he might actually find it a bit of a game. So there are several things you can do: The simplest thing you can do is buy a cheap tarpaulin and throw is over the sofa and leave it there until you’re back in the house. Take it off the sofa when you’re in the house, let Mac come along and do his thing on the sofa and then use water or your hands, or make a loud noise, or put him outside – punish him.
If you're not able to to this you could put some food in a bowl next to where he scratches the sofa, or some peppermint. If there’s food there he may not scratch, if there’s peppermint there he may not go near it. Or there is a plastic gizmo that is like a mouse trap – that you can set just beside the sofa.
Jill asks:
“Trix ,when found 4 months ago, was very thin but with swollen nipples. There was no sign of kittens but even when she moved across town to my home, she appeared to be searching and took to carrying around a soft ball which even went outside with her. She has since had her op and inoculations and at about 18 months of age is a very affectionate moggie but the odd behaviour she displays is her tendency when sitting on a lap or chair, to suck on clothing/rug etc while "kneading". This behaviour continues on for some time before she eventually settles to sleep. While kneading is a common cat behaviour, I've never come across the sucking (as if on a teat) before. She appears reasonably adjusted and is quite playful but unfortunately the female cat already in residence is most displeased to share her domain and there's a lot of growling that goes on. I feed them in separate places and try to be even-handed with favours and had hoped the mature cat would get over herself but not much has changed. Trix doesn't seem too fazed by the reception and initially tried to be friendly but has learned to be careful in her dealings. Your thoughts please?
Thanks, Jill”
KS: I think these cats will get used to one another. Trix has only been there for four months, so give it some time. They’ll end up in some détente around one another and if both of them have access to litter trays or both of them can get outside to go to the toilet it will come right. As for the kneading, it is a common behaviour, so a cat will kneed with its front paws and some of the cats that kneed also suckle. So this is not an uncommon or strange behaviour. We think it’s a bit of an obsessive compulsive behaviour and we have no idea why it happens. A common theory is that cats who are weaned early are more inclined to knee. And the best thing to do to deal with it is to play with it and to do other things. And it’s really important when you get a kitten or a cat to play with it.
“This is 2 1/2 year old Bella. She has a brother Stan. She is well fed so shouldn't need to hunt. She brings very large rats inside and deposits them under our bed. We don't often look under our bed. We need to. Sometimes it appears that said rat has been there for some time. Yesterday our poor cleaner was traumatised and had to ask our builders to remove very large dead rat for her.
How can we stop her doing this?
Oh and they both like to trash our furniture with their claws. So far they have avoided our mid-century Danish chairs so maybe they do have some manners.”
KS: One – Bella is a hero! Bella is killing very large rats. But how do you stop her from killing rats? The big thing in Bella’s life is killing rats, I’m sure she loves it. If you want to stop her doing it, never let her go outside again, or buy a special bib for Bella, or a bib, or something. The thing is this is really good stuff – good on you Bella.
How do we stop her bringing her inside? Well, a dead rat is a dead rat. If I had Bella I would be very proud of her!

EXTENDED BODY:
It's fair to say our next guest is the world's best known professional conspiracy theorist. An English writer and public speaker, former footballer and sports broadcaster, David Icke has made his name since the 1990s as a professional conspiracy theorist, calling himself a "full time investigator into who and what is really controlling the world."
Read an edited excerpt of the interview below:
You believe we are living in a virtual reality. Explain that.
I’ve been saying this and writing this for a long time now. Like many of the themes in the earlier books, people who are seen by “the system”, if you like, as being credible, are now saying the same. Because it may seem extraordinary given some of the things that I talk about, but everything I have written and concluded has been evidence driven. It’s just that I’ve gone into areas that most people at that time didn’t go into and pursued the evidence. It’s clearer and clearer that we are living in the equivalent of an extremely advanced version of a computer game.
Max Tegmark, a mathematician/physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in America is openly saying that the physics of our world are the same as the physics of a computer game. When you move your arm or you move your body, it is the same physics that a character in a computer games uses. As he points out, if you were in a computer game and it was so believable, everything around you seemed to be real, you wouldn’t (at least for a long time) question that you were in some sort of virtual reality. You would accept that it is real.
But what is happening now is that all of these cul-de-sacs that science has gone down in trying to answer these so-called mysteries of life, they can’t do it from their perspective of how things are.
They are being forced down these roads. Elon Musk came out recently and said the chances that we don’t live in a virtual reality universe in billions to one, because that is where the evidence is going.
I have been calling the human body for a long time a biological computer which processes information. DNA is the receiver transmitter of the information. A few months ago a mainstream scientist in an article I was reading described the computer as a biological computer this “madman” has been saying that for 15-20 years!
What the body is doing is, just like a desktop computer but of course in a much more advanced way, decoding information fields, just like a computer decodes the information in a Wi-Fi field, onto a reality onto the screen so we are decoding this… cosmic Wi-Fi, if you like, into a reality on our screen, which exists in the brain. It’s kind of sobering.
Again, this doesn’t get into the mainstream, therefore we see things in such a myopic way, but according to mainstream science the electro-magnetic spectrum is 0.005 per cent of what exists in the universe in mass matter energy. Visible light, which is the only frequency band that we can actually see in what we call “the world of the seen”, is a fraction of a 0.005 per cent. Even within the 0.005 per cent fraction that we call visible light, this planet compared with the perceived size of the universe is about a billionth of a pinhead. We are incredibly myopic literally in what we are decoding.
The reason why we only decode that very, very narrow band of visual reality called visible light, is because that is what the biological computer is designed to decode. Therefore if you put your desktop computer onto the internet, it has confines that it can decode. It can only decode the internet. It can’t decode beyond the internet, so the body is the same. It can’t decode beyond the virtual reality, therefore we think that this world is all there is.

EXTENDED BODY:
Woody's Farm
From Sydney to muddy gumboots, building fences, and farming rare breed pigs.
Daniel Todd, his wife Claire and their dog Woody (the farm's namesake) moved from the hustle and bustle of life in Australia's biggest city to the rolling hills of the Tararua Ranges, just south of Levin three years ago..
They now farm rare breed pigs; Large Blacks and Berkshires.
Before making the move to New Zealand, Daniel had worked for a consumer electronics company for 17 years.
He says he left his day job for more than just a change of scenery.
"I was bored of what I was doing, and I hadn't learnt anything new for a long time. But also I was horrified of the way that pigs are farmed. Intensively farming pigs is just inhumane, and I love bacon as much as everybody else, so I couldn't really justify buying bacon or sausages if I didn't grow it myself, that was my theory behind it"
Daniel names all the pigs after famous chefs. Once a week he feeds them leftover brewer's grain from "The Garage Project" beer company; a wet, smelly mixutre that looks like porridge.
Daniel sells his pork at farmers' markets and online.

Dave Sulley is one of the small group of dedicated people who make sure that the country's nearly 400 golf courses stay open - and golfers get to play their rounds.
Dave is greenkeeper at Te Marua Golf Course on the outskirts of Wellington. He has been at the course for 25 years and loves his job and the lifestyle.
"It's so varied. You're a builder, drainlayer, plumber and often all of those in one day."
Dave sees the course as his farm.
Te Marua is about 70ha of well-manicured turf bordered by trees but Dave's job managing the course is quite different from livestock farming.
Ask a farmer what to do - and then do the opposite - is the old adage for green keepers.
Dave doesn't want the vigorous grass growth that farmers are after to feed their livestock. "The more the grass grows on a golf course the more it needs cutting." He doesn't have the budget at Te Marua to fertilise his grass as much as a farmer does but nor does he want to.
Where sheep and cattle farmers want nutritious grass cultivars like rye grass, Dave wants older, slow growing, drought tolerant varieties like brown top that will survive a dry summer and come back to life with the rains.
Clover is something that most farmers value as an excellent feed and a fixer of nitrogen in the soil. Dave says clover is a pest on a golf course because the flowers look like golf balls and can confuse the players.
The greens are the pride and joy for greenkeepers and where each green keeper's reputation is at stake. "It's all about how well your greens put, and how true they are," says Dave.
A lot of his time and effort goes into making sure each green is in as good a shape as possible. Each one is cut to height of 3mm, year round. One of the big challenges is keeping the surface of the green aerated so the surface stays free draining and free of pests and diseases.
Despite working at the course five days a week and spending most of his Sunday mornings mowing the greens, Dave still loves the work. "I almost know what I'm doing here. The course is my baby I love it here and don't' want to leave."
