  • 4400 - Ladyhawke: Kiwi Musician on her career, playing her debut album at 'Others Way' festival

    Kiwi musician Ladyhawke was a fixture of the late 2000s. 

    In 2009, Pip Brown, better known as Ladyhawke, stormed to number one on the New Zealand albums chart in 2009 with her self-titled debut and hit song ‘My Delirium’, leading to a slew of music awards, and international tours. 

    15 years later, she’s coming full circle, performing her debut album at the upcoming ‘Others Way’ festival in Auckland. 

    Ladyhawke told Jack Tame that she has a few tours and shows coming up, but wanted to do something special for the 15 year anniversary.  

    “I thought, why don't I do something special and do the first record front to back,” she said. 

    “There's a couple of songs on it that I'd never played live before.” 

    Although festival goers will be the only ones to get the full album experience, Ladyhawke has been playing a few of her older hits on her tours throughout the UK and Australia. 

    “Everyone's just, like, really happy. And I love looking out and seeing everyone singing along,” she told Tame. 

    “I know it's a bit of a nostalgia trip for people, which is, which is awesome for me too.”

  • 4398 - Catherine Raynes: Framed and The Elements of Marie Curie

    Framed: Astonishing True Stories of Wrongful Convictions by John Grisham and Jim McCloskey  

    John Grisham is known worldwide for his bestselling novels, but it’s his real-life passion for justice that led to his work with Jim McCloskey of Centurion Ministries, the first organization dedicated to exonerating innocent people who have been wrongly convicted. Together they offer an inside look at the many injustices in our criminal justice system. 
     
    A fundamental principle of our legal system is a presumption of innocence, but once someone has been found guilty, there is very little room to prove doubt. These ten true stories shed light on Americans who were innocent but found guilty and forced to sacrifice friends, families, and decades of their lives to prison while the guilty parties remained free. In each of the stories, John Grisham and Jim McCloskey recount the dramatic hard-fought battles for exoneration. They take a close look at what leads to wrongful convictions in the first place and the racism, misconduct, flawed testimony, and corruption in the court system that can make them so hard to reverse. 
     
    Impeccably researched and told with page-turning suspense as only John Grisham can deliver, Framed is the story of winning freedom when the battle already seems lost and the deck is stacked against you. 

      

    The Elements of Marie Curie by Dava Sobel  

    For decades Marie Curie was the only woman in the room at international scientific gatherings, and despite constant illness she travelled far and wide to share the secrets of radioactivity, a term she coined. She is still the only person to win a Nobel Prize in two scientific fields. 
     
    Her ingenuity extended far beyond the laboratory walls; grieving the death of her husband, Pierre, she took his place as professor of physics at the Sorbonne, devotedly raised two daughters, drove a van she outfitted with x-ray equipment to the front lines of World War I, befriended Albert Einstein and inspired generations of young women to pursue science as a way of life. 
     
    Approaching Marie Curie from a unique angle, Sobel navigates her remarkable discoveries and fame alongside the women who became her legacy – from Norway’s Ellen Gleditsch and France’s Marguerite Perry, who discovered the element francium, to her own daughter, Irene, a Nobel Prize winner in her own right. The Elements of Marie Curie deftly illuminates the trailblazing life and enduring influence of one of the most consequential figures of our time.

  • 4396 - Dr Dougal Sutherland: Psychosocial risk assessments at work

    2024 has been a tricky year for many organisations and businesses – whether it be through having to make significant changes or being affected by the current economic environment. Now is a good time to stop and take stock of how the year has impacted on your people. One great way to do this is through a psychosocial risk assessment.  

    What’s a psychosocial risk assessment? It looks at all the psychological and social hazards in a workplace that can potentially cause mental or physical harm to your people.  

    Some easy examples are:  

    Bullying   Micromanagement   High workloads   Less obvious examples include   Job insecurity   Lack of clear role description   Physical work environment e.g., spending all your working day in the cab of a crane  

    Psychosocial hazards are a leading cause of mental health problems at work (e.g., stress, depression, anxiety) and also physical health problems (e.g., musculoskeletal problems, high blood pressure, heart problems). Now is a good opportunity to look at what hazards are at your place to set your people and organisation up to perform at their best in 2025.  

    First steps you should take:  

    Make sure management is involved and supportive – you’ll hit a ceiling in how far this can go if they’re not on board. If they need any convincing, there have been a number of cases in court recently where organisations have been fined anywhere between $50k and $1.8million for not looking after the mental health of their staff   Talk to staff to find out what things are really like at the coal face. Leaders can sometimes make the mistake of thinking they know all the ins and outs of an organisation and while they will know some of it, nothing beats talking to people who are actually doing the job   Look at data you already have, e.g. are there areas with high levels of sick leave or with high annual leave balances – why might this be the case?  

    Lastly, you might need to call in the external experts, which is where organisations like ours can help out.
