The New Zealand popular music scene has seen a series of high points in recent years. Published in 1989 were John Dix's labour of love, Stranded in Paradise, a comprehensive history of New Zealand rock'n'roll; an influential report by the Trade Development Board, supportive of the local industry; and the proceedings of a well-supported Music New Zealand Convention held in 1987 (Baysting 1989). In the late 1980s, local bands featured strongly on the charts, with Dave Dobbyn (‘Slice of Heaven’, 1986), Tex Pistol (‘The Game of Love’, 1987) and the Holiday Makers (‘Sweet Lovers’, 1988) all having number one singles. Internationally, Shona Laing (‘Glad I'm Not A Kennedy’, 1987) and Crowded House (‘Don't Dream It's Over’, 1986) broke into the American market, while in Australia many New Zealand performers gathered critical accolades and commercial success.

IN HIS newly released Wars Apart: WWII Letters of Love and Anguish From Cairo to Christchurch, retired award-winning New Zealand journalist and academic Alan Samson tells the love story of his parents through the letters and photographs they exchanged while they were stationed in the Middle East during the Second World War. They later migrated to New Zealand and their story continued from Cairo to Christchurch. Cairo was the place in which his parents began their story, which continued as they adapted to the diversity and triumphs of a new life in New Zealand. A journalism lecturer who taught at Wellington’s Massey University for more than a decade and is a former Pacific Journalism Review reviews editor, Samson uses his academic research skills and journalistic expertise in telling this story of love and anguish, hope and despair, of his own mother and father who had distinguished service records with the South African and British armies.

Full textAbstract:
In 1952, D'Arcy Cresswell published a verse play, The Forest, set in New Zealand's forested Southern Alps. In what Cresswell called a ‘tremendous defense of homosexuality’, The Forest depicts a pair of gay male poets pitted against the archangel Lucifer and women, who are in league together to force men to work the land and thereby desacralize it. Cresswell argues that the pressures on Pākehā men to be economically productive and heterosexually reproductive are manifestations of a literally Satanic plot to alienate men from one another and Nature. While many of Cresswell's New Zealand literary contemporaries espoused a Pākehā masculinity involving matey comradeship and a life spent working the land, Cresswell celebrates a New Zealand wilderness he perceives as the last refuge of male love and inspired poetry. Simultaneously queering Milton, inverting Judeo-Christian history by relocating Eden in the Antipodes, and reversing New Zealand history by undoing the modernity that settler colonialism had created, Cresswell counters the terms of his own exclusion from the literary canon by imagining a world upside-down – and inside-out.

Full textAbstract:
I have previously explored the beginnings of the New Zealand Christmas card prior to 1883, and the ways that the designers of these cards negotiated the colonial experience of a summer Christmas.1 This paper examines the development, over the decade following 1883, of the chromolithographic work of A. D. Willis, whose production not only continued the work of creating a niche for New Zealand Christmas cards, but also tried to compete with the large overseas ‘art publishers’ who were flooding the New Zealand market with northern hemisphere iconography. Willis’s Christmas cards are frequently used to illustrate books looking at the 1880s, but there has been no detailed study done of them. The paper therefore documents the cards, their production and reception, explores how they record Willis’s understanding of the art publishing business and the market he was working into, and situates them in relation to broader print culture. Understanding this overlooked chapter in ‘commercial art’ provides useful evidence of the murky interplay between the local, national and transnational identities that marked New Zealand cultural production when artists and designers sought to capture the public’s Yuletide sentiments. Willis’s work also displays two very distinct conceptions of how to represent what was increasingly known as ‘Maoriland’ to an overseas market – one focused on the land, and the other on Māori. As such, these cards act as a weathervane for what the New Zealand public accepted as New Zealand, artistic and appropriate as a Christmas gift.

Full textAbstract:
Social norms about the conduct of married life change over time. This paper examines New Zealand norms about marital infidelity as represented in the agony aunt columns of the New Zealand Woman’s Weekly in 1950. It concludes that sexual adventures outside of marriage constituted a significant challenge to contemporary beliefs about trust and romantic love within it, and that women facing this dilemma were given the task of saving the marriage. However, advice on how to do this was contradictory, from withholding sex while enduring the situation with dignity, to Freudian psychologists’ instruction to provide the straying husband with more and better sex.

Full textAbstract:
This essay locates New Zealand's civil union legislation within the dynamic between "status" and "contract" that animates modern family law. "Status" concerns who we are; "contract" concerns the transactions we can enter. Because family law is concerned with affective relationships, it cannot apprehend people only as the atomised individuals anticipated by the modernist emphasis on contractual relations. Family law acknowledges the relevance to legal issues of "messy" issues of personality. Among the most complex and powerful aspects of personality with which the law concerns itself is love. Love affects who we are and law affects what love can be. Law provides and constrains the symbolic repertoire that helps organise the way we think about our affective relationships. The enactment of civil union legislation was an enormously positive step. However, by continuing to deny homosexuals the ability to marry, the New Zealand state persists in denying homosexuals a key part of the symbolic repertoire that is relevant to the way people in love can conceptualise their relationships. The transactions the state permits us to enter, particularly transactions that are expressions of love, affect the construction of our identities, illustrating once again the deep links that exist between who we are and the contracts we can enter.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, I re-read Freire’s (1972) Pedagogy of the oppressed and found his emphasis on love inspiring. I was left wondering why this is not often quoted regarding Freire. As an educator (University of Otago), regulator (SWRB), whānau worker and supervisor (NGO staff), I believe my work here in Aotearoa New Zealand is about creating contexts within which it is easier to love. I view love broadly as a set of attitudes, actions and thoughts. It produces a professional set of skills that is a personal journey of completion. I am not patient, tolerant or fair all the time, but I should at least try to be. Perhaps love in the context of professional relationships within the social work process is at the heart of a 21st century emancipation and liberation of Māori and other oppressed groups in Aotearoa. Freire understood that treating people as ‘fully human’ in the social work process was in itself an act of love, otherwise it would be dehumanising.In this article I will be discussing:conscientisation, colonisation, dehumanisation, historical trauma and intergenerational trauma;Freire’s (1972) notion of a ‘culture of silence’;identity;transformative relationships;love in social work;Freire’s virtues and qualities for social workers; andfully human practice.

Full textAbstract:
The production of beer yields a number of by-product streams, with spent brewers’ yeast being the second most abundant in volume. The high nutritional value of spent yeast has seen a large proportion of spent brewers’ yeast being used for both food and feed purposes. One of the uses of spent brewers’ yeast for human consumption has been the production of yeast spreads, which came onto the market in the early 20th century, first in the United Kingdom and shortly thereafter in the commonwealth dominions, especially Australia and New Zealand. In this research we investigated the national status of yeast spreads in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. We show that a brewery by-product such as spent brewers’ yeast is more than a mere novel utilisation of a waste stream but have become inherently associated with national identities of these countries to such an extent that some brands have become iconicised. Furthermore, some yeast spread brands have become a symbol of (inter)national polarisation, purely based on its initial sensorial characterisation.

Full textAbstract:
Crustal Deformation due to Atmospheric Pressure Loading in New ZealandWe investigate atmospheric pressure loading displacements in New Zealand using global and regional air-pressure data collected over a period of 50 years (1960-2009). The elastic response of the Earth to atmospheric loading is calculated by adopting mass loading Love numbers based on the parameters of the Preliminary Reference Earth Model (PREM). The ocean response to atmospheric loading is computed utilising a modified inverted barometer theory. The results reveal that the atmospheric loading vertical displacements are typically smallest along coastal regions, while gradually increasing inland with the maximum peak-to-peak displacement of 13.1 mm for this study period. In contrast, the largest horizontal displacements are found along coastal regions, where the maximum peak-to-peak displacement reaches 2.7 mm. The vertical displacements have a high spatial correlation, whereas the spatial correlation of the horizontal displacement components is much smaller. A spectral decomposition of the atmospheric loading time series shows that the signal is a broad band with most energy between 1 week and annual periods, and with a couple of peaks corresponding to approximately annual forcing and its overtones. The largest amplitudes in the atmospheric loading time series have an annual and semi-annual period.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to focus on care workers employed in clients’ own homes recognising the skills and responsibilities of home-based care workers. Design/methodology/approach – Interviews and focus groups with domiciliary care workers in New Zealand centred on what these employees actually do during their working day. Findings – Home-based care workers require the same skills as residential care workers, but they also have greater responsibilities and receive less supervision and support, as they work largely in isolation. In addition, they must spend a large part of their working day travelling between clients: this time is unpaid, and brings their average hourly pay below the minimum wage. Practical implications – Although the home-based care workers who took part in this project love and are committed to making a positive difference to their clients, they also want the government, employers and the public to recognise their skills, efforts and their challenging working conditions. Originality/value – In earlier days of deinstitutionalisation, Graham described caring work as a “labour of love”. More than three decades years later, a New Zealand government minister described paid care workers as working partly “for love”. Care work is also currently perceived as unskilled. Both these perceptions depress the pay and working conditions of care staff, and in future may undermine the quality of care delivered to vulnerable clients.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose A case study is reported of a relationship-based early intervention (EI) service for children with complex needs in New Zealand. The purpose of this paper is to explore parent and professional views and perceptions about the key characteristics of a relationship-based EI service. Design/methodology/approach This qualitative study involved interviews and observations with 39 participants (10 children, 11 parents and 18 professionals). Findings Parents appreciated the knowledgeable, well-trained professionals who invested time in getting to know (and love) children and families and family practices, worked together in harmony and valued the contribution that parents made to their child’s progress and achievement. Professionals described the key characteristics of the service in terms of the range of therapies offered by the service, the focus on a strengths-based and family-focussed approach, play-based assessments, acceptance and value of family practices (including responsiveness to Maori and bi-culturalism), appropriate and respectful places to meet and greet families and work with children, and recruitment and retention of humble professionals who identified with the ethos of the model. Observable social processes and structures within the delivery of the model include respectful professional interactions and relationships with children and families, integrated professional working, effective and timely communication between professionals and families, pedagogy of listening, waiting and personalisation, engaged families and actively participating children. Originality/value This case study emphasises the significance of professional love and relational pedagogy to EI services and the value of this to improving parent-child relationships and children’s long-term outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The international ‘#1WordforFamilyMedicine’ initiative explores the identity of General Practitioners (GPs) and Family Physicians (FPs) by allowing the international Family Medicine community to collaborate on advocating for the discipline via social media. The New Zealand version attracted 83 responses on social media. Thematic analysis was performed on the responses and a ‘word cloud’ image was created based on an image identifying the country around the world - that of the silver fern. The ‘#1WorldforFamilyMedicine’ project was promoted by WONCA (World Organisation of Family Doctors) globally to help celebrate World Family Doctor Day on 19 May 2015. To date, over 80 images have been created in 60 different countries on six continents. The images represent GPs’ love for their profession and the community they serve. We hope that this initiative will help inspire current and future Family Medicine and Primary Care providers.

Full textAbstract:
New Zealand has had three women prime ministers, and the first country in the world to give women a vote, but there is still a gender gap in leadership in the traditionally staid arena of daily newspapers. One-third of the country’s daily newspapers have never had a female editor. The gender imbalance is significant in an industry that still breaks the majority of news items, and is influential in public information. The low ratio of women editors is incongruous with the fact the majority of journalism students are female, and a large number new hires are women. This longitudinal study has interviewed every woman who has held the position of editor, which totals only 15. The good news is that currently there are more women in editorships than ever before, the sad news is that this still represents only 29 percent of daily editors. The attitudinal interviews show the editors love the job, but quit after only a few short years, but this may be changing.

Full textAbstract:
Deep (typically > 1,000 m) shear wave velocity ( V S) profiles were developed across the Canterbury region of New Zealand at nine strong-motion stations using a combination of active and passive surface wave methods. A multimode, multimethod joint inversion process, which included Rayleigh and Love wave dispersion and horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio data, was used to develop the V S profiles at each site. A priori geologic information was used in defining preliminary constraints on the complex geologic layering of the deep basin underlying the region, including velocity reversals in locations where interbedded terrestrial gravels and marine sediments are present. Shear wave profiles developed as part of this study had characteristics comparable to the profiles from 14 Christchurch sites detailed in a separate study. The profiles developed in the two studies were combined to form region-specific V S profiles for typical deposits, which can be used to improve the accuracy of current three-dimensional (3-D) crustal velocity models of the region.

Full textAbstract:
Unlike the United Kingdom, the United States and Australia, where celebrities are often subjected to derision in the tabloid media, the New Zealand Woman’s Weekly, the country’s longest-running women’s magazine, respects and values its local celebrities. A content analysis of cover lines on the magazine over the past eight decades reveals that although the magazine has adhered to a steadfast formula of celebrating mothers and wives, there has been a steady shift to a focus on the love lives and scandals of foreign celebrities. More recently, however, the magazine has turned its attention to well-known New Zealanders and developed its own brand of celebrity news.

Full textAbstract:
For five years the television show bro'Town represented a novel and somewhat controversial approach to telling stories about New Zealand society in mainstream media. The particular characters and setting connected to Pacific Island and urban Maori immigrant communities, but the stories being told were broader than that and resonated with the wider New Zealand public. One unique characteristic of the show was the way in which it mediated religion both sympathetically and critically to this wider audience. In doing so the show functioned as a site of theological reflection and a vehicle for the doing of contextual theology. Through the way in which religion was mediated in the show, issues related to personal, ethnic, religious, family and community identity are explored, drawing upon the negotiation of the three-way relationship between God, land and people running through Māori and Pacific Island cultures. The end result of this negotiation is a narrative that is simultaneously respectful and irreverent, promoting the need to find friends, love, respect and home in an often complicated and conflicted world.

Full textAbstract:
Dementia is a growing global health issue, particularly in developed countries with high and increasing life expectancies. Often, health care and social approaches problematise and see as defective people with dementia; they are viewed in terms of their deficiencies. The concept of personhood helps provide a theological framework of inherent worth, regardless of physical or cognitive capacity. This paper takes a case study approach and considers how the notion of personhood impacted the motivations and practice of two chaplains working in Aotearoa New Zealand residential dementia care settings. These chaplains offered a ministry of personal and sacramental presence. They provided simple ecumenical services, comprising elements that were familiar to the residents. They were motivated by and acted with love and compassion. The article concludes by noting implications for chaplaincy practice, including the importance of being personhood-affirming, acting out of love, and being expectant of and attentive to the discipleship and spiritual formation of residents.

Full textAbstract:
The attributes ‘warm eyes’, ‘breathe warm air’, ‘heart warmth’ and aroha (love) guide our work in child protection. These quotes are from a young person from the Change Factory 2020, a MFAMILY student in 2020 and Jan Erik Henricksen Key Note at the 4th International Indigenous Voices in Social Work Conference, Alta, Norway 2017 respectively, to describe the way young people and families want workers to be. We reflect on the child rights and family inclusion provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRoC), and the Aotearoa New Zealand (ANZ) legislation Children, Young Persons and their Families Act (1989), in contributing to the best interests of the child. We examine current events in our locations, Aotearoa New Zealand, Norway and Western Australia, as demonstrating that these joint principles are far from universally used in child protection practice. The sole use of Article 3 of the UNCRoC, in particular, often results in excluding families as legitimate stakeholders. In seeking to achieve the best interests of the child, we apply a practice framework to example vignettes. Here, we have added micro-practices to address the identified gaps in relationship building, engagement and enabling practices in working towards the practice of best interests.

Full textAbstract:
Researchers have long argued that ingroup favoritism and outgroup derogation are separable phenomena that occur in different, meaningful combinations. Statistical methods for testing this thesis, however, have been underutilized. We address this oversight by using latent profile analysis (LPA) to investigate distinct profiles of group bias derived from ingroup and outgroup warmth ratings. Using a national probability sample of Māori (the indigenous people of New Zealand; N = 2,289) and Europeans ( N = 13,647), we identify a distinct profile reflecting ingroup favoritism/outgroup derogation (Type III in Brewer’s typology of ingroup bias) in both groups (6.7% of Māori, 10.3% of Europeans). The factors associated with this type, however, differed between groups. Whereas ethnic identity centrality predicted membership for Type III for Māori, social dominance orientation predicted this type for Europeans. Thus, although both groups may express the same kind of bias pattern, the motivation underlying this bias varies by status.

Charles Kingsley in 1855 gave the following dedication to his novel, Westward Ho!:To the Rajah Sir James Brooke, K.C.B., and George Augustus Selwyn, D.D., Bishop of New Zealand this book is dedicated, by one who (unknown to them) has no other method of expressing his admiration and reverence for their characters.That type of English virtue, at once manful and godly, practical and enthusiastic, prudent and self-sacrificing, which he has tried to depict in these pages, they have exhibited in a form even purer and more heroic than that in which he has drest it.Brooke, the adventurer, soldier, and colonial administrator, and Selwyn, the missionary colonial bishop, appealed to Kingsley as exemplars of what he called ‘Christian manliness’. One of Kingsley’s reviewers, T. C. Sandars, described Kingsley as ‘spreading the knowledge and fostering the love of a muscular Christianity’. The defining characteristics of this ‘muscular Christianity’, a term with which Kingsley was uneasy, were ‘an association between physical strength, religious certainty, and an ability to shape and control the world around oneself’.

Full textAbstract:
In 1846, in his serialized novel Woman’s Love: A Romance of Smiles and Tears!, G. Herbert Rodwell (1800–52) introduced a Pākehā Māori character, ‘the wandering Missionary, Tang-goo’. Although Jules Sébastien César Dumont d’Urville (1790–1842) had included a Pākehā Māori in his earlier novel, Les Zélandais: Histoire Australienne, written in 1824–25, this remained unpublished, and therefore Rodwell’s Tang-goo appears to be the first such character in a published novel. Tang-goo is a richly imaginative conception drawing on various sources, including the Pākehā Māori who had come to London, a ‘White Father’ character in G. P. R. novel, The Gipsy, the Native American category of ‘medicine men’, the experiences of missionaries in New Zealand, especially Samuel Marsden’s 1820 travels, and the Biblical John the Baptist. For much of Rodwell’s novel, Tang-goo is taken to be authentically Māori and as such seems to be a fantastical representation of Britain’s civilizing influence in New Zealand. The novel’s late revelation that Tang-goo was born an English nobleman explodes such a fantasy and also subverts the stereotyped negative portrayals of Pākehā Māori in missionary literature. Tang-goo knows himself to be a unique figure; his creation of a Māori identity is complete only once he is dead.

Full textAbstract:
Peer support is a relatively new form of funded mental health service provision, in which services are provided by current or former service users. It operates from recovery philosophies, aiming for deep, transformative relationships. This article asks how such “love labour” can be sustained through processes of paid work. It argues that authenticity is central to achieving this, created by a type of emotion work that focuses on clearing obstacles to the development of mutual, caring relationships. I call this authenticity work. Authenticity depends on what Bolton and Boyd call philanthropic emotional management, but requiring this as a part of paid employment creates tensions for peer support, which are addressed in debates around boundaries. This article looks at what peer supporters had to say about boundaries, authenticity, and the sustainability of their work; it is grounded in an interview-based study of 14 peer support services in Aotearoa New Zealand.

This paper will situate the concerns of the ash within broader thinking about capitalism's intensifying impact on nature. It explores hn societies in Australia and New Zealand. Finally, the paper thinks about how we might perform memorial acts to curate love or care while acknowledging our complex shared histories in multi-species entanglements.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In this article, Isto Turpeinen and Ralph Buck reflect on reasons why dance remains relatively inaccessible for boys. They note that constructions of dance and masculinity are relatively narrow. They note that while these meanings are evolving, within the classroom context, the words ‘dance’ and ‘boy’ continue to raise many issues for teachers. In the following, Isto and Ralph draw upon their own teaching experience and speak to practices that might make a difference. Boys do dance, but who cares if they don’t? Within education contexts and within society, males have ample opportunities for success, achievement and fulfilment. It seems that many boys who want to dance can, and those boys who want to play ice hockey and rugby can. Do boys need to dance? This article reflects on Turpeinen’s (2015) research on teaching boys in Finland and a key finding that draws attention to the power of dance in fostering and expressing love, most importantly the expression of love between fathers and sons. As professional male dance educators, both Isto and Ralph have taught boys and girls for over 30 years in Finland and New Zealand. This article takes the view that dance does matter for boys and girls, in various ways.

Full textAbstract:
Discourse markers are a feature of everyday conversation — they signal attitudes and beliefs to their interlocutors beyond the base utterance. One particular type of discourse marker is the invariant tag (InT), for example New Zealand and Canadian English eh. Previous studies of InTs have clearly described InT uses in one language variety (e.g. Berland 1997, on London teenage talk; Stubbe and Holmes 1995, on NZ English; on sociolinguistic features e.g. Stubbe and Holmes 1995 and on single markers e.g. Avis 1972; Love 1973; Gibson 1977; Meyerhoff 1992 and 1994; Gold 2005, 2008 on eh). However, the class of InTs has not yet been fully described, and the variety of approaches taken (corpus- and survey-based) does not easily allow for cross-varietal or cross-linguistic comparison. This study investigates InTs in three varieties of English from a corpus-based approach. It lists the InTs available in New Zealand, British and Indian English through their occurrences in their respective International Corpus of English (ICE) corpora, and compares usages of four tags across the varieties. The description offers a clearer overview of the InT class for descriptive grammars, as well as more explicit definitions and usage guides for e.g. EFL/ESL pedagogy. An unambiguous description of several InTs and their meanings will also allow more thorough comparison in studies of other English varieties. Finally, the results offer another viewpoint on the issue of representativeness in corpora with respect to regional versus national varieties of the Englishes.

Full textAbstract:
The Architectural Centre, having made a powerful impact on the design profession in New Zealand in the '40s and '50s, appears to have taken a back seat in the 1960s. Were the drug-crazed psychedelic sixties to blame, or was there still signs of life behind the closed doors? No longer publishing Design Review, the Centre continued to work on projects, mainly behind the scenes, such as the campaign for better town planning in Wellington. The effort that went into this campaign may have led to the Centre having "sucked its bottle dry" and an almost stagnation at times during the 1960s, but in the end achieved its aim with the publication by Wellington's Council of a Town Plan, and the creation of a Town Planning department within the Council. This paper follows the actions of the Centre throughout its "mute" decade, and exposes its continuing influence on the City, on subject matter that is still being discussed today, via the publication of a special supplement in the Dominion, a publishing coup that is unparalleled today.

Full textAbstract:
The last two years have been incredibly challenging for the domestic and international hospitality industry. To gain insights from New Zealand hospitality professionals who are also AUT alumni, Lizzy Coughlan, Human Resource Manager of the Hotel Britomart, Auckland, was interviewed by AUT’s Associate Professor Tracy Harkison.
When Coughlan was asked about working in hospitality, she responded:
I love hospitality because daily you encounter so many different types of people, it is a family feel industry. You meet people from around the world, so it gives you so much exposure to different life experiences. I am a people person, and it has been an industry I have loved ever since I started at AUT. I wanted to be in an industry where people are the main subject, and hospitality is that industry to a tee.
When asked about the unique aspects of the New Zealand hospitality industry, she explained:
We have a lot of history. Hotels are learning more about Māori heritage and incorporating it into their establishments. New Zealand is a unique travel destination, from the mountains and snow in Queenstown to the big city feel in Auckland. With such diversity we appeal to a wide range of travellers world-wide.
When Coughlan was asked why someone should start a career in hospitality and what advice she would give, her view was that:
People often don’t realise that within hospitality it’s not just the operational roles you can do, it’s everything from revenue management through to HR. There are so many different things you can be exposed to within hospitality. It’s not just waiting tables, cleaning dishes and being a chef; careers wise you can move up very quickly in hospitality into a different field that you may not have thought of before.
Coughlan stressed the importance of starting from the entry level.
Start in the industry at an entry position. It gives you the understanding of how a hotel operates; you can go through lots of different departments. It gives you the skills that you need in a management role, as you understand the facets of the business and you can be a very effective leader. Studying and gaining a degree will serve your career very well. My best piece of advice is to just get in the door and work your way from there.
When Coughlan was asked about her greatest leadership challenge, the COVID-19 situation, and what she would change about the industry, she emphasised passion and being agile:
In hospitality you have a lot of very passionate people, and everyone has very different leadership styles. So, it is about understanding how best to lead when you have different personalities and styles to content with. So, my greatest leadership challenge has been understanding all the different leadership styles and then trying to figure out how to work with them, especially within a HR function role, because it can be challenging at times. But the more you understand them, the more you learn, and the easier it gets.
For COVID-19 our biggest decision was first and foremost the health and safety of our team and our guests. We took the stance that we need to take care of our people first, and then we made the business decisions from there. One thing remained throughout lockdown – taking care of our team and making sure they were supported. It was also about being really agile, as things were changing daily, and you have got to have a Plan A and a Plan B. So being agile and take it from there.
However, she also warned of the dangers of the industry, advising of ways to preserve one’s work-life balance.
The industry is going through a huge transformation with a new generation of workers coming through. We are seeing a lot more people wanting, and rightfully so, more fair pay, more flexibility, more work life balance. Within traditional hospitality there is the mentality that you sometimes work long hours, so industry really needs to become more agile and open minded to different ways. We can approach work life balance by working from home, but within the parameters of an operational business, that is what I would like to see more of.

Full textAbstract:
Until December 2017, there were no legal provisions within the Commonwealth of Australia for same-sex couples to marry in the same sense that their heterosexual friends and family can. Civil unions provide similar legal protections as marriage, but many argue that this is not enough – that same-sex couples occupy a ‘second-class’ citizen status in relation to marriage. Many jurisdictions globally recognise marriage equality: the UK, New Zealand, Canada and the USA, to name but a few globally, and those societies most similar to Australia’s. This article explores the attitudes towards elements of marriage equality among a group of gay men in Australia. Despite the ‘yes’ vote for marriage equality polling about two-thirds of eligible voters, a slew of symbolically violent messages appeared, including ‘Vote No’ skywritten across the emblematic Sydney Harbour, and ‘Vote no to faggots’ graffiti etched across Sydney train carriages. The importance of love is key in defence against this symbolic violence.

Shanlax International Journal of English 10, no. 4 (September 1, 2022): 46–50. http://dx.doi.org/10.34293/english.v10i4.5287.
Full textAbstract:
The paper critically focuses on the creative facets of romance in Danielle Steel’s Safe Harbour and Marilynne Robinson’s Jack. Safe Harbour virtually harbours on mutual faith between an American widow Danielle who is also a social worker and a divorcee form New Zealand named Matt, who happens to be an artist too. In the novel, the youngest daughter of Danielle performs angelic role to bring about a transformation in thoughts and beliefs leading to the union of her mother with Matt. It seems as if the romance between them is more of Platonic than anything else leading to carrying out humanitarian responsibilities. Jack is one of its unique kinds of literary writings based on the love between two young persons Jack and Della of the two well-known racesof America. With the backdrop of the controversy that juxtaposes racial problems and human attributes with the paradigm of Calvinist romance which advocates for the stability and security of a strict religious system in a world that he finds unstable and even absurd without it. It examines how the author has tactfully revealed the pre-ordained bond of love between the two characters leaving behind the so- called social and religious dogmas. There is a reference to Black Lives Matter in the novel admixed with racial trauma whereas in the thematic context, it repeatedly investigates the connection between loneliness and eternal damnation; the soul’s isolation and its torment.

Full textAbstract:
Red with anger or green with envy – such metaphors link colours and emotions. While such colour metaphors vary across languages, conceptual associations between colours and emotions have many cross-cultural similarities. Here, we took published data from 8615 participants (2172 men) coming from 37 nations (i.e., Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, China, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, India, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nigeria, Norway, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and United States) and analysed Lithuanian (n = 217) associations between colour terms and emotion concepts. Lithuanians had many associations, the most frequent being red–love, yellow–amusement, yellow–joy, and black–sadness (all endorsed by > 60% of participants). While Lithuanians associated more emotions with colours than the other participants, the Lithuanian pattern of these associations was highly similar to the global pattern (r = .92). When compared to each other nation individually, colour–emotion association pattern similarities ranged between .65 and .89. Lithuanian patterns were the most similar to the Russian and the least similar to the Egyptian ones. Crucially, such similarities could be predicted by linguistic but not geographic distances. Nations speaking languages linguistically closer to Lithuanian also displayed more similar colour–emotion association patterns. These results support universality of colour–emotion associations and point to small but meaningful cultural differences (e.g., red represented love more strongly than anger for Lithuanians but not globally). Future studies should look whether colours can modulate emotions, or whether such associations are purely abstract.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe tale presented in the film The Piano is placed in mid-19th-century New Zealand and has been heralded by critics as a timeless love story, and described as erotic and romantic. A legal historical review of this time period, however, demonstrates that, upon marriage, women had very limited property rights and were entirely dependent upon men, whether their fathers, their husbands, or otherwise. In particular, personal objects such as a piano would become the property of the husband upon marriage. Hence, a married woman's access to the ability to express herself in this manner was not her own. The actions of the characters in this film are consistent with the law applicable to this time period. Ultimately, from this persective, the movie is about the abuses of this kind of culture and its inability to suppress the human spirit—the piano being a symbol of exactly that struggle. This paper compares the “modern” perception of this film to its historical context, with the objective of determining what this says about our present society and culture.

Full textAbstract:
Geoffrey Kaye was primarily an anaesthetist, but there were many facets to his life, not all of them involving medicine. He was also a researcher, author, teacher, engineer, inventor, metalworker, organiser, traveller, visionary and collector. Geoffrey Kaye had a vision for Australian anaesthesia. He put many of his own resources into the establishment of a ‘centre of excellence’ where the needs of a specialist society could be accompanied by an active educational and research facility. He was so far ahead of his time that his vision foundered on lack of enthusiasm from others. There is no doubt that Geoffrey is best remembered for his lasting legacy, the Geoffrey Kaye Museum of Anaesthetic History, now housed at the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists in Melbourne. It is his core collection of equipment, documents and memorabilia that now gives us insight into the development of our specialty. His collecting extended beyond his love of medicine. He was renowned for his collection and knowledge of exquisite tableware, porcelain, and furniture, much of which now remains in the Ian Potter Museum collection, also in Melbourne.

Full textAbstract:
Research findings and media coverage of staff experiences of working in mental health settings tend to focus on the negative aspects of the work such as burnout and stress. These negative aspects affect job satisfaction. Job satisfaction can be understood through the lense of Self-Determination theory, which emphasises the importance of autonomy, competence and relatedness (connection) in job satisfaction. This article reports on staff views on positive aspects of working in acute mental health care, drawing on qualitative interview data collected for a larger study of the social and architectural environment of mental health inpatient facilities in New Zealand. Forty-two inpatient mental health staff participated in semi-structured interviews about their experiences of working in such facilities, sharing the positive aspects of working in this setting, including ‘what they liked most’. Responses were thematically analysed using the Framework Method to identify and organise key themes that were refined iteratively, checking for agreement between researchers. Four key themes were identified: work that matters; the people; the physical and social environment and the extrinsic rewards/personal benefits. The results provide an alternative framing of working in acute mental health settings compared, with commonly reported research findings and media coverage focusing on staff burnout and stress in these settings. Despite the much-documented challenges of working in this often poorly resourced and stigmatized area of health, most participants spoke warmly and enthusiastically about what they did, with frequent use of the word ‘love’ in relation to their work. This was largely because they found the work and social relationships rewarding and they were able to make an important contribution to the wellbeing of mental health service users.

Abstract The number of deaths among older Māori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, are expected to increase by 48% by 2030. Colonization has had a varied impact on Māori ways of being and end-of-life care has become more difficult. Many have become disenfranchised from their families, peoples, lands and culture. Pae Herenga, a for-Māori by-Māori with-Māori qualitative research project, investigated the traditional Māori end-of-life care customs that Māori families used while caring for someone who was dying. An online education resource was developed to support Māori families, their communities and the palliative care sector. Interviews were conducted with 60 Māori participants including older many people (aged over 70). The findings found that families rich in cultural knowledge were proficient in caring for a loved one at end-of-life irrespective of their social or economic position. Cultural care values such as unconditional love, companionship, reciprocity, supportive relationships and collective decision making safeguarded care preferences of the dying. Access to traditional knowledge and traditional healing practices, and an understanding of spirituality helped to strengthen and prepare the dying person, and their families, on the end-of-life journey. The study also found that those families connected to communities’ rich in Māori cultural resources, such as knowledgeable older Māori people, were well supported by the community at end-of-life. This study highlights that Māori use of traditional care customs in all care settings can better support a ‘good death’ from a cultural perspective.

Full textAbstract:
The display of maternal suffering is powerful, as the bereaved mother’s experience represents any parent’s deepest fear. When her pain is enmeshed with calls to support changes in our justice systems, it has the potential to bring about unconstitutional effects, for a mother’s love has no end and so her life sentence can only be addressed with equal amounts of endless suffering for the said offender (Valier and Lippens, 2004). This paper explores the construction of the bereaved mother figure as a victim-hero within contemporary media enacted crime narratives. It examines two murder cases in the New Zealand context where a bereaved mother’s displays of grief can be linked to changes made to the legal code. It will be argued that the character of the bereaved mother as a victim-hero has become a powerful agent of change that has implications for criminal justice system modification. It is argued that critical attention is required of criminology to the role of the good mother in criminal justice discourses, and in particular to the ways in which the good mother is characterised in mediated public discourses.

Just like a personal ego, the zeitgeist of a practice such as psychotherapy is constantly changing, influenced by both internal and external events. As with the personal ego, not only is it changing but it is also resisting change, leading to a state of imbalance and potential conflict. A psychotherapeutic relationship can help an individual re-establish balance in the changing world and live more fully in the present, but the relationship with an organisation or group can be more challenging. Just as we can identify with our ego, so can we identify with a group: does the onus fall more on the individual or the group to adapt, both to change and to the resistance to change? What can help in this process of adaptation? With the Freudian concept of the erotic bonds of love and hate in the background, I will call on my personal story as a psychotherapist born in the year the New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists (NZAP) was founded, with the aim of exploring these questions with a focus on the changing zeitgeist of NZAP.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Māori, the indigenous people of New Zealand, are living longer and dying older. The prevalence of conditions associated with older people, such as Dementia are expected to increase amongst the Māori population. Pae Herenga, a qualitative research project investigating traditional Māori end-of-life care customs, identified an indigenous narrative of Dementia care, as carried out by their families. Sixty participants took part in face-to-face interviews to systematically record the traditional care customs employed by Māori families. Of these families, five experienced caring for someone with dementia. A traditional Māori family values approach based on biological connections, relationships, empathy, love, patience and inclusiveness aimed to care for the individual with Dementia as an important member of the family, and sought to maintain as much of the person’s autonomy as possible, for as long as possible. Sharing care roles between family members and maintaining connections to Māori communities helped to prevent isolation of the person with Dementia and their family members caring for them. Involvement in family and community activities, and attending to the individual’s personality and their spiritual needs were just as important as tending to their physical care needs. These findings emphasize the importance of a holistic approach to caring for indigenous people with Dementia.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: To learn of a terminal illness is devastating at any age. How much more so when it occurs in early or mid-adulthood, when people are busy with family and career goals. Those facing death when under 65 years of age are a group whose voice is virtually invisible in the palliative caregiving literature. Yet one in every five people die in New Zealand before 65 years of age. For Māori, almost half will die under the age of 65.Methods: Eight bereaved family carers were interviewed with particular focus on the strengths that underpinned and sustained them through the spouse’s illness and death. The research utilised a social construction methodology and thematic analysis of the narratives was undertaken to identify the key themes.Findings: Following analysis, themes emerged relating to the Medical Circle of Care, the Home Circle of Care, Saying Goodbye, and Picking Up the Threads. Further analysis revealed the strengths of love, hope, family, teamwork and resilience in coping with these experiences.Conclusion: Three key findings for palliative care teams emerge from the research. These are to prioritise support for family carers, to enable access to Social Work, and the provision of targeted support for bereaved family carers.

Full textAbstract:
Hospitality businesses in New Zealand are seeing fewer and fewer payments made by cash, as customers opt for the convenience of paying their bill electronically. If customers love the convenience of paying by credit card, who should be responsible for the cost of this convenience – the business or the customer?
In a Restaurant Association survey conducted at the end of last year, members overwhelmingly (71%) indicated that the use of cash by customers is declining, with a Mastercard New Zealand survey last year backing this up. This widespread adoption of electronic payment by consumers sees merchants bearing the significant cost of the transaction through their merchant fees. New Zealand merchants pay substantially more to process credit and contactless debit card transactions than their counterparts in Australia and the UK (on average, New Zealand merchants pay merchant service fees of around 1.4%, while in Australia it is around 0.85%, according to estimates by COVEC and data from the Reserve Bank of Australia). Restaurant Association members typically pay even higher – between 1.8% and 2% in fees for each credit card transaction; members say they are charged the same rate for any card type. Forty-two percent have a ‘fixed bundled rate’, although another 26% say they are charged a split rate for credit card and debit cards. Only 5% have an ‘unbundled’ merchant fee, where different types of cards are charged different fees and merchants pay this cost plus an acquiring service fee from the bank.
There are undoubtedly advantages for businesses in accepting electronic payments, primarily in the speed of the transaction – particularly with several customers waiting to pay – and the speed in which the payment is deposited into your bank account. However, it comes at a large cost, which is challenging for an industry that runs on very small margins already. One member pointed out in the Association’s recent survey:
As the average return in New Zealand is 6% net profit, the banks are effectively charging 1/3 of the profit of the average business, which is diabolical. With technology advancements their costs have gone down but charges have gone up, clearly shown in their bottom line profits. It is a collective monopoly like a lot of big business in New Zealand. (Restaurant Association member)
Of our members, 66% say they would switch if they could receive a saving equating to an overall 2.5–5% reduction in the cost of accepting credit cards. Currently though, short of refusing to accept credit card payments, it is difficult to avoid merchant fees. Emerging payment options and growing trends via NFC (Near Field Communication) capable mobile phones (such as ApplePay, GooglePay and Digital Wallets) are now more widely available. Whilst offering convenience and arguably faster transaction speed, these payment methods offer no relief to the fee incurred by a business for acceptance.
Alternative payment solutions now exist in New Zealand, but there are few choices. To date, most are aimed at the Chinese market, with payment methods restricted to tourist and student visitors, and immigrants retaining banking capability in their country of origin. The Restaurant Association’s survey indicated that only 24% of members currently accept other payment channels like China Union Pay, Alipay or WeChat. In reality these alternative payment solutions currently only form a small portion of the total volume of transactions a business processes, so will not affect any meaningful reduction in the total costs of cards/payment processing.
Surcharging, however, is a way for operators to offset the merchant fee imposed upon them by the banks. Surcharging simply means a charge to cover a merchant’s cost for processing a credit card. They are now being used by increasing numbers of tourism and hospitality businesses. Feedback from member businesses is that there is little reaction or negative feedback from customers. A Restaurant Association member commented on the survey:
We added a surcharge to cover the transaction fee on credit cards and have had no complaints. It’s just a matter of cents and gives us an opportunity to explain that we have always worn the cost of the surcharges but this is increasingly difficult.
Feedback from some members is that they find the practice unfriendly and others would prefer to incorporate this fee into their menu pricing structure, as this member pointed out: “I don’t care about the cost. It is added into the budgets and is picked up at menu price changes time, so it is paid for by the customer anyway.” Individual businesses need to decide if a surcharge would create tension in the business/customer relationship however, it is reassuring to know that, if a business does decide to add a surcharge, it is becoming a far more mainstream option than it used to be.
From a legal standpoint, merchants are required under the Fair Trading Act to ensure representations around their card payment fees are accurate and not misleading. This means if you are being charged a 1.8% merchant fee by your bank, it is not reasonable to apply a 3% credit card convenience fee to your customer. We’ve noticed some merchants prefer to pass on only a portion of the cost with a surcharge – say 1% – as a cost recovery practice. For a $100 bill, that is just a $1 addition to the bill for the consumer.
The payments landscape is changing rapidly, and in the future new technology will dramatically change the way we pay and receive payments. In the meantime, the Restaurant Association are developing further information for members around surcharging, with implementation and training for staff. We’ll also continue advocating on behalf of members to ensure the payment system delivers good outcomes for both consumers and our member merchants.

SUMMARY Cross-correlations of ambient seismic noise from 277 broad-band stations within the Mississippi embayment (ME) with at least 1 month of recording time between 1990 and 2018 are used to estimate source locations of primary and secondary microseisms. We investigate source locations by analysing the azimuthal distribution of the signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) and positive/negative amplitude differences. We use 84 stations with 1 yr of continuous recordings to explore seasonal variations of SNRs and amplitude differences. We also investigate the seasonal ambient noise ground motions using 2-D frequency–wavenumber (FK) analysis of a 50-station array. We observe that: (1) two major azimuths can be identified in the azimuthal distribution of SNRs and amplitude differences. We also observe two minor azimuths in the seasonal variation of SNRs, amplitude differences and 2-D FK power spectra. Monthly 2-D FK power spectra reveal that two energy sources are active in the Northern Hemisphere winter and two relatively weak sources are active in summer. (2) Backprojection suggests that primary microseisms originate along the coasts of Australia or New Zealand, Canada and Alaska, Newfoundland or Greenland and South America. (3) Secondary microseisms are generated in the deep water of the northern and southern Pacific Ocean, along the coasts of Canada and Alaska associated with near-shore reflections and in the deep water of south of Greenland. (4) Weak energy is observed in the third quadrant of the azimuthal distribution of amplitude differences of sedimentary Rayleigh and Love waves in the period band of 1–5 s and correlates with the direction of widening of the basin.

Full textAbstract:
The honeybee, Apis mellifera, is a remarkable animal. Honeybees are not only unusual and astounding in their biology, but also vitally important to human agricultural productivity. Despite their nasty sting, they are the poster-child for beneficial insects, and one of the few insects that are well loved. They are regarded with warmth and support. They are part of the soundtrack of a long hot summer, the go-to name when we are working hard, and they provide our flavour of choice at breakfast. They have even been incorporated into Kiwiana; every little Kiwi has had a Buzzy Bee. Honeybees play an important role in New Zealand’s economy, production and identity. In this review we aim to present information as to the state and future of New Zealand bees and the beekeeping industry. We would like to review recent advances in bee biology pioneered by New Zealand researchers and show how bee research in New Zealand probes some of the fundamental aspects of bee biology, while also being an exemplar of the way fundamental research often has unforeseen but important applied outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Pyrenophora seminiperda (Brittleb. & D.B. Adam) Shoemaker (anamorph Drechslera campanulata (Lév.) B. Sutton) is a generalist seed pathogen that can cause high mortality in the seed banks of annual and perennial grasses and a minor leaf spot disease. Its current reported distribution is mainly temperate grasslands, deserts, and winter cereal-growing regions in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Egypt, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States (2). P. seminiperda was originally described in France in the mid-1800s, but there are no recent reports from eastern Europe or Asia (2). In May of 2008, we observed what appeared to be P. seminiperda on seeds from seed bank samples collected in Turkey. Evidence of disease was observed as macroscopic black stromata protruding from the seed. The characteristic club-shaped stromata were collected from a Taeniatherum caput-medusae seed near Pamukkale, Turkey and six Bromus tectorum seeds in Love Valley near Goreme, Turkey. An additional collection from a single undispersed B. tectorum seed was obtained from Perissa, Greece. Identity of the pathogen was tentatively established by evaluating morphological characteristics for nine isolates in V8 agar culture. After 4 days of incubation at 20°C with a 12-h photoperiod, the cultures produced white mycelium. Following wounding, the mycelium produced black, club-shaped stromata (2 to 8 × 0.4 to 0.9 mm) in a radial pattern. These produced branched conidiophores bearing crescent-shaped, multicellular conidia (79 to 125 μm long). These attributes are consistent with those of the anamorph of P. seminiperda as described by Shoemaker (4) and Campbell et al. (1). The teleomorph was not observed. The identity of the isolates as P. seminiperda was confirmed with ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) genetic sequencing analysis. ITS sequences obtained were identical to sequences for North American haplotypes of this species. Four of the Love Valley isolates, (representative isolate: GQ168725, BPI 879142, NRRL 54032) matched the HTA haplotype (GQ168724), while the other four (representative isolate: GQ168736, BPI 879143, NRRL 54033) matched the HTJ haplotype (GQ168735). The isolate from Perissa, Greece (GQ168728, BPI 879144, NRRL 54034) matched the HTC haplotype (GQ168727). Pathogenicity of several Love Valley isolates was confirmed by producing conidia in culture, dusting nondormant B. tectorum seeds with 0.003 g of conidial inoculum per 50 seeds, and incubating for 14 days at 10/20°C with a 12-h photoperiod. Stromata developed on >90% of inoculated seeds and mortality as high as 34% was observed. Morphological similarities combined with ITS sequence data provide conclusive evidence that P. seminiperda occurs in Turkey and Greece. The discovery of this pathogen in these countries indicates that it may be widespread in Eurasia and that it could have arrived in North America on seeds of B. tectorum (3) rather than representing a novel pathogen for this important weed in its North American range.
