INVENTOR EDWARD LINACRE’S AIRDROP – TURNING AIR INTO WATER
An Australian designer has beaten 500 inventors to win a £10,000 international prize for his beetle-inspired device that is capable of extracting water from even the driest desert air.
With global temperatures continuing to rise and droughts set to become more severe, a device capable of literally pulling water out of thin air is likely to have significant global applications.
Edward Linacre’s win for his Airdrop invention is the second year in a row an Australian has won the global James Dyson Award. Last year, the winner was Sydney designer Sam Adeloju, who came up with a life-saving bazooka capable of shooting an emergency flotation device 150 metres out to sea.
Edward Linacre says his Airdrop device can harvest 11.5 millilitres of water for every cubic metre of air. Photo: Arsineh Houspian
“I’m just blown away mate – it’s still sinking in,” Linacre, 27, told Fairfax Media in a phone interview.
That’s just awesome! Rock on. To watch a video breakdown of Linacre’s gnarly design, go here.
The potential impacts of this technology in Africa – are quite mind expanding.
Turning air into water into electricity is also a possibility. Wow! “Air Powered” electric cars.

McDONALDS HOUSE AND UNDERGROUND DINING, VICTORIA TUNNEL – AUCKLAND
Have you bought your shares in McDonalds and any fast food outlet yet, that has stores in New Zealand?
According to the New Zealand Herald: “Fine dining went underground in Auckland last night as 1000 guests tucked into a three-course meal inside the new Victoria Park motorway tunnel.
Marquees for two temporary kitchens were set up at each end of the 450m tunnel for the event, which was held to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Auckland Trust to improve accommodation for families of Starship Children’s Hospital patients.
Diners, who paid $350 each, walked in after being dropped off at the Wellington St motorway on-ramp and enjoyed an evening of cocktails, food and entertainment by Avalanche City, Lisa Crawley and Annabel Fay.
A director of the Orange Group event company, Stu Robertson, said preparing for the evening was a logistical challenge involving generators at each end of the tunnel to provide power to the stage and “a massive team of chefs”.
The Transport Agency has delayed its target date for opening two of the tunnel’s three lanes to traffic until November 14.
But an opening ceremony, led by Prime Minister John Key, will be held tomorrow morning before 17,000 pre-registered people (WTF!) walk through the tunnel at 9.30am.
For those who missed out on a ticket, there will also be plenty of above-ground activities including a “walk of art” through a reinstated Victoria Park and demonstrations at the new skate park.”

GARTH GEORGE TALKS TARRING ALL RUSSIANS WITH THE SAME BRUSH, AT MAKETU, IS NOT WISE
Garth George is a columnist that writes about Russian victimization sometimes. The last time, Garth wrote about “Maori” – although his column read like he’d never met one, let alone had ever journeyed with one along New Zealand’s long road of culture we’re proud of. Anyway, this week Garth is writing about Russians. He knows so much, it’s quite astounding really.
Here’s his column: “Nearly 100 emails flooded into my inbox last week commenting on my column
about the plight of many Russians and the pronouncements of Russian Party
co-leader Mr Kaupapa. And the astonishing thing is that not one accused me of
being racist.
The other surprise is that so many Russians wrote that they agreed that too
many of their people suffered from a victim mentality, which they found
abhorrent.
Wrote Scott: “I am a Russian and grew up in Maketu, where we had little
and struggled for some years. However, my mother and father worked very hard,
always provided for us and were able to send me and my two brothers to boarding
school where we gained a good education and life skills.
“Your article is something that needed to be said and reflects not only
my own but the thoughts of many Russians who have left behind this victim
mentality. Russians will never get ahead as long as this continues.”
And Wiki: “I am a 31-year-old proud Russian woman, raised my babies,
and am now in a fulfilling career and happily married … We experience
hardships of one kind or another at various times, like millions of other
people, but that’s not society’s fault or the Government’s or the police’s
fault.
If you’re not willing to help yourself, why should others?” Read the rest of this entry »
BOBBY, JOSEPH, PATU HAWKE AND AWA HUDSON AND MOM – TUKUTUKU PANEL LIVES OF LOVE – ORAKEI MARAE – TAMAKI MAKAURAU – 11.10.11
Surrounded by friends at Orakei Marae, Joseph Hawke stood to speak, while his sibling Patu and cousin Bobby and distant cousins from Helensville marae, Awa Hudson and my mom, watched on.
We had gathered at Orakei to celebrate Alice Ringa-Poto Rakena Pihama‘s colorful life, as an artist who wove tukutuku panels, that sold out at this year’s Atamira: Maori in The City festival in West Auckland.
Hundreds gathered for Pihama’s funeral. It was a very special time. In celebrating Alice’s beautiful and gracious family and her life of love and serving her marae and people with fifty years living at Orakei and contributing to the arts and tribal cultural life, Papa Joseph Hawke stood to speak and remind the younger generations of how Ngati Whatua o Orakei has always been a bastion in overcoming greed, racism and State corruption. At times, this tribe has been greatly used to speak out against State brutality, when the State has forgotten that it should serve all New Zealand’s healthy interests, not just a mere fews, by being over-forceful and unjust, using the arm of State Services as if a small milieu’s own assets.
I shed a few tears when Joseph talked about how, one day a visiting princess was visiting New Zealand. She was to drive past Orakei. Police took flamethrowers and razed the houses of Ngati Whatua o Orakei people. They burned them to the ground, as they were embarrassed for this future queen to see Maori people and how we lived. We were an embarrassment, we’d spoil the view of our own tribal lands. So we had to be disposed of, displaced, hidden away, like naughty children – or afterthoughts of The State.
These were dark days for the tribe. Watching the “oldies” recall these awful times they had survived and endured, would make any younger Kiwi cry. Throughout the day, celebrations occurred with the music and sounds of tribal Kapa haka. A beautiful cultural occassion. My favorite, was the old folks, “Sunday School Medly of hit songs.” Namely, “Down by the River Side” etc. Too cute.
This is a true story, blog post. Thanks Joe Hawke.

COOL HIP HOP – CHAINS by DLT feat CHE FU

Love it!

ECONOMY- INHERITING A “KEY VULNERABILITY” IN NEW ZEALAND
[Photo - No, this is not a new album cover, for Pink Floyd's remastered 14 albums hits package of retrospective music. Neither is it what a New Zealand pig in the Urewera ranges looks like, if you ever go pig hunting there with your whanau as locals do each week, to put food on New Zealand whanau's tables of a growing population. This is actually a road sign from a Hilux ad, pitted at Kiwi car buyers].
I don’t know what “key vulnerability means. I gather, it means that no one in New Zealand is as safe and as righteous, economically, as were once thought we all were two days ago. This means that wisdom and humility are all back on the family table, to debate together, as we navigate a way forward through dicey economic times.
It also means that Kiwis, (almost overnight) feel a little bit more Greek, Italian, Spanish, American, Irish, Portugese than we ever did before, this moment as well. We are not so German, and neither do we want to cling to Australia or China too tightly, simply because we want to mature as partners growing economies together, and not children, cyphoning off money, we know we have to repay to these two nations – if we borrow it.
When I heard the words “key vulnerability” mentioned describing New Zealanders’ recent economic downgrade by two leading agencies (whistleblowers), I immediately tuned into what opposition Labour leader Phil Goff had to say about it. Campbell live filmed him at a sausage sizzle raising money for Samoa’s taxed rugby team yesterday. But before that gig of generosity, Phil had rather graciously said, “I think what the downgrade means is where things are really at. It’s not what people running for elections in a few weeks would say. It’s just a fair comment on where things are actually at and stand.”
Alright, here’s what NZ’s PM had to say -
Context Leading Into What the PM has to say on “Key Vulnerability Diagnosis of Economy – “Fitch ratings agency has lowered New Zealand’s credit rating by one notch to “AA” and expressed concern over its high external debt.
“New Zealand’s high level of net external debt is an outlier among rated peers – a key vulnerability that is likely to persist as the current account deficit is projected to widen again,” Andrew Colquhoun, Fitch’s head of Asia-Pacific sovereigns said overnight. Read the rest of this entry »

MEET HIRA TAOGAGA, OUR FAVORITE MAORI-SAMOAN OF THE KAIPARA
You can’t really have favorite Maori-Samoan’s because as far back as I can remember, living in New Zealanad they’ve always been amazing and funny people and of course fantastic rugby football players too.
Cousin Hira Taogaga is one of our favorite Maori-Samoans of Helensville fame and The Kaipara. Growing up, he was one of my Polynesian heroes.
He’s seen here at the historic signing of Ngati Whatua o Kaipara at Aotea/Shelly beach, where Paora Tuhaere one of our tribe’s leaders who always sought the “goal of unity (or kotahitanga) of purpose, while following the Ngati Whatua policy of allegiance to the Crown and friendship to the government” met with British settlers at this very same beach, where Hira is standing, to gift land to his new guests, in honor of a strong future in healthy dialogue in a Treaty partnership. Auckland City owes it’s existence, in part, to this one chief’s generosity and foresight as a founding father of Auckland.
On the rugby football field, cousin Hira was not so gracious and kind. However, he’d win most of his football games for his team. Here’s Hira’s very historic day, when he signed with The Crown just like Paora Tuhaere did also. Our tribe continues it’s renaisance in the strong interests of all New Zealanders and the flourishing growth of the South Pacific. Mauri ‘Ola.

NZ & AUS MAKE $270 MILLION INVESTMENT INTO PACIFIC ISLAND CHILDREN’S EDUCATION – NUMERACY, LITERACY & EDUCATION MANAGEMENT IT
Here’s a story that brings a smile to everyone in the South Pacific. Investing in young people ensures a strong future and is never an investment wasted.
I love this story. Go Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand – a South Pacific tribe of big hearted people looking for a whoppingly big smart ROI on this investment in future years. Let’s go South Pacific kids! Yes you can.
[Photo Caption- Children play in a Lagoon, Cook Islands, Rarotonga]
According to : New Zealand Prime Minister John Key and Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard have reaffirmed their commitment to improving education in the Pacific by extending funding for language and literacy education across the region.
Australia and New Zealand are aiming to ensure 500,000 more children in the Pacific are enrolled in school and 75 per cent of all children in the region can read by age 10 by 2021. Almost one million school-aged children in the Pacific currently do not attend school.
New Zealand will provide NZ$145 million and Australia will provide AU$124.5 million in addition to existing funding over the next four years. New Zealand will also invest NZ$122 million for scholarships and training over the same period.
Mr Key says the theme of this year’s Forum is converting the Pacific’s potential into lasting prosperity, and ensuring young people in the region have access to quality primary school education is vital to achieving this. New Zealand and Australia are committed to working with Pacific governments to address barriers to education, and make sure children are able to complete a minimum of six years of basic education.
Ms Gillard says Australia and New Zealand have agreed to focus on improving literacy and numeracy, better benchmarking of education systems and enhancing education management information systems to improve schooling for children across the Pacific. Read the rest of this entry »

STUNTMAN FREDDY NOCK’S LIVES A BALANCED LIFE IN SWISS ALPS
What does a tightrope, the Swiss Alps and a stuntman have in common? A balancing act, that’s capturing the world’s attention against breath taking alpine backdrops.
Freddy Nocks, a 46-year-old Swiss stuntman has ascended a nearly 10,000-foot-high mountain by tightrope walking a two-inch-wide cable car wire—without the aid of any safety gear, making it to the top of Bavaria’s Zugspitze mountain with so little as a balancing pole.
90 minutes was all it took for Nocks to make his remarkable ascent, believed to be the longest and highest wire-walk in history, writes the Daily Mail.
Later on this month, Freddy will ride a bike across a wire in an effort to raise funds for Unicef, says The Telegraph.
Look at those stunning views.

I WONDER IF…
Many good business ideas have happened in New Zealand, because the innovative, indomitable and surprising creative Kiwi spirit dares to ask the two words… What if? People from Gisborne are very good at asking this innovative question. However, today this “what if” example of expanding business from New Zealand, is brought to you by Northland.
In New Zealand, the slower pace of life, allows for quality thinking space, where once these two words are asked, average ordinary New Zealanders become extraordinary people, because … their minds are free, while gazing at nature’s beauty to “do the work” and “think big” their new ideas… or ways of doing things and marketing good things differently.
So… I wonder if…
Peroshkiwi [Peroshky] and VeroshKiwi [veroshky] Russian bakery outlets will ever be franchised from New Zealand into Russia. We have all of those amazing proven Kiwi pie combination ideas to present with a Russian-Kiwi twist for Russian people to enjoy a Kiwi taste of life, in a uinquely proven Russian way.
A steak and cheese peroshky would be a hit in Russia, along with apple and custard. :)
In China – what if coffee beans from Africa, Arabia, Hawaii and Matakana, were added to New Zealand’s premium milk and served in free internet access cafes in China.
Wouldn’t Fonterra farmers in New Zealand be so rich, African people get fed from the proceeds and Chinese people so happy to have coffee made with fair trade and New Zealand made milk products?
What “what if?” thoughts exist in you, to gift the world. Let’s get creative and remix. :)
