10:00 am
>> well, good morning, good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us. here in the outer sunset on a, what is looking to be a beautiful day, my name is joaquin torres, with the work
10:01 am
force development lead intion mayor lee's program look tog coordinate city resources both existing and new to serve our neighborhoods in need and to serve our small business commercial corridors. one of the things that has been so important to the mayor is making sure that we're attentive and listening to the streets and there is certainly no one better to know that than mayor lee who has been both our director of public works, then moved on to being city administrator, and now our mayor of our city. so, to make the announcement of this new program that will benefit merchants and small businesses up and down corridors like the one we're here on today, i'd like to invite further direction, mayor lee. thank you, mayor. (applause) >> thank you. it's great to be out here in sunset out in irving street. i should come out here every week, the dpw folk are cleaning the streets pretty well. [laughter] >> it's great to see all of you here today. you know, earlier this year,
10:02 am
particularly during the budget negotiations, supervisor carmen chu and i and a number of other supervisors engaged in a lot of discussions about what our neighborhood small businesses could benefit from as we saw indications of our budget recovery. and clearly we understood and have always understood the role of small businesses. and they're the backbone of the city and our office of economic development was headed by todd who is here and joaquin is helping out with the investment neighborhood strategy. we wanted to really demonstrate that, our commitment. not just by saying it, but actually doing things that would really support our small business. scott and henry and many others, benny and others who have been around us know that my favorite thing is to go to a neighborhood commercial corridor like terra val or out in the sunset noriega and have meals or breakfast or a cup of
10:03 am
coffee and really find out all the distinctions that each neighborhood has to offer. i've been a big supporter of our commercial corridors. historically and all my different capacities. but as mayor, i think we get to do something pretty big. so, with the small business commission and regina is here today to be part of this effort, along with building inspection tom huey is here, public works as i mentioned earlier are here. all of the agencies working together with our supervisors and mayor's office have come together and put this program together and we want to announce and launch it today in front of martin lam's good will shop here because he's been a real great leader in helping many of the small businesses, and particularly those that don't speak english owned by proprietors that maybe english is not their first language. over the past couple years, supervisor chu and i have been talking about these drive-by lawsuits that have been
10:04 am
occurring and how shocked some of these businesses are to the sometimes abusive process that are used by litigators to get at them. but in the context of overall our city's willingness to comply with a-d-a, with title 24 of the state, and our own access through our mayor's office of disability. we want everybody to comply. we don't want them to be victims of irrational and abusive lawsuits. and at the same time, we want to give them the help that they so well deserve. and, so, with the extra monies that we have, with the extra monies that supervisor chu also had and making sure that we used it wisely, we decide that had we would create this a-d-a small business access program in conjunction with asian neighborhood services and northeast credit union. we would not only provide some
10:05 am
free assessments by certified access specialists that would come out here to the commercial corridors like irving, like noriega and taraval in our investment neighborhood strategies, they would offer these free assessments that would do the inspection and allow the small businesses to understand what all the challenges are. so, it begins with that assessment. and then with the monies that we do have, we wanted to follow-up with our sf shines programs and other programs that we have and offer a combination of grants and micro lending loan programs that are available to these businesses so they can make the corrections in an affordable way. this is our city's attempt, it is fully supported by the board of supervisors, and this program i think now has its ability to be launched and have -- really meet these access challenges in a positive way.
10:06 am
so, we're not just avoiding lawsuits. i think we do want everybody business to be compliant, as they should be. but we're caught up sometimes with businesses that change hands. people don't know whether or not they're grandfathered in or whether or not -- how accessible it is to everybody. but we also know that there are many people who have disabilities that have also -- want to have access to the businesses all around these corridors and enjoy it as much as we do. so, i think full compliance is the goal. and to have education, to have free access assessment being done. and then to follow-up by those that are challenged economically, to have loans and to have grants that are made available to have all of them participate in this program is incredibly good for the city. and i think it will help many of the small businesses understand their obligations to respond to these better, but also help them get into
10:07 am
compliance better. so, i'm glad to launch this program here on irving street with supervisor chu who has been a really big champion for this. but we have many members of our business community that have also been asking us to do something positive about this. and not let these small businesses become victimized in these drive-by lawsuits. to do what we can to make it a positive thing. so, i'm so glad that joaquin has come aboard to help us. he, having headed up the neighborhood services program for years, now has his talent with todd in making sure that all of the small businesses along these commercial corridors have access to our programs, have a higher degree of understanding, along with our carla johnson and our mayor's office of disability, and all the different agencies working together, we're going to make this successful. this is a family of agencies that care about our small businesses. last time i looked, there were
10:08 am
over 71,000 businesses who registered that had less than 100 employees. that's an incredible sign of businesses that have -- that are our backbone, that hire a number of people. they're not the biggest employers, but they do hire the largest number of employees. over 51% of the city's employees are hired by small businesses. and i want to continue supporting them, nurturing them, have them increase. i hate seeing vacant, vacant buildings, vacant spots. benny knows every time we walk down there, what's going on with this site? what's going on with that site? char men chu knows that as well. we've done a lot of walks together. i want to see every one of these vacancies filled with small bustling business necessarition. we need them to hire more local folks. and one way to do it, one sure way to do it is to make sure that they meet the a-d-a requirements, the federal requirements, the state requirements, our local efforts to make sure that those that
10:09 am
have disabilities can also shop and be a participant in our local economy. so, with that, joaquin, thank you for your leadership. we get to launch this wonderful program right here. there are three streets in district 4 that are going to benefit from this. we're going to roll this out to all other 85 neighborhood corridors in the rest of the city. it's that many? 25? [laughter] >> all right, christmas must be coming early. i'll talk to supervisor chu about any more monies we can release. thanks very much. >> thank you, mr. mayor. (applause) >> thank you. and now i'd like to bring up the supervisor, the district that we're in today, someone who is no stranger to the importance of supporting our small businesses whose family used to run a restaurant. and like to invite to speak now supervisor carmen chu. (applause) >> thank you, everyone, for being here today. i want to thank the mayor so
10:10 am
much for coming out and launching this pilot here on irving street. as you know, when i came on board in 2007, one of the most important things we wanted to relay was how important it was to not only support our downtown businesses, but also to support all the small businesses that are located across the city in our communities. for many of the folks who come down to irving street or noriega or taraval or jude a a lot of the times people who come here who own the shops are locales are debttionv . they are people who live in our communities who want to help make our neighborhoods thrive. in 2007 when we first came on board and subsequent years, one of the things that we noticed was that there were a number of different businesses that were being targeted with some of these drive-by lawsuits. many a times when i spoke to businesses, they did not know about the requirements that they had to meet with the federal a-d-a laws. once letters came in, they didn't really know how to respond. they sort of put it away. and it was more egregious especially for our mono lingual communities and our merchants who really didn't understand
10:11 am
the correspondence that they were seeing. and, so, it really left them in a bad position. some of the businesses found that they had to close down their shops because they simply could not afford to make the a-d-a improvements and could not afford to pay the penalties associated with that. that's something we don't want to see. especially in the last few years, i think san francisco, we have really powered through some rough years economically. i hear with many of my merchants on sirfing street here who stuck with the neighborhood, stuck with this community and have gone through tough economic times and weathered it with us. we just want to make sure that we do everything we can as a city to support them. and, so, this issue about a-d-a com playboytionv fa public libraritionv is something that been going on for quite sometime. people say in san francisco how big is this problem? we know that since 2005 there are at least 300 lawsuits that have happened about a-d-a on a-d-a compliance issues in the city and county of san francisco. this is not insignificant for a city our size. and we know that these are things that we have to address. since that time with mayor lee
10:12 am
who has actually done a number of things, we've worked with the bar association to make sure that we have legal advice that can be given to our merchants on a very cost-effective basis. we've worked with regina and her shop with office of small business to make sure that we're doing training videos and making sure that different businesses are compliant and they know what their responsibilities are. we work with regina's shop to work with the community opportunity fund to set aside a million dollars to be directed towards improvement loans for small businesses to deal with a-d-a access issues. and i think this is sort of the next big step that the city is taking to make sure that we're supporting our small businesses in a very direct and hands on way. with this pilot, i am proud to announce that we have over $08,000 that will be going to this district to help with cast inspections. these are basically inspections of businesses to say what it is that you must do over a period of time to become compliant with a-d-a requirements and rules. and these are things that will really help our blitznesses weather any lawsuits and really plan to make sure their
10:13 am
businesses are accessible to all san franciscans. so, today i'm very proud of that. we're going to see over 30 businesses be able to have a casp inspection. that is a very meaningful piece to be able to help them weather some lawsuits if they should come down the pipeline. in addition to that, we expect to see $70,000 in actual physical improvement grants that will be coming into the district as well. and, so, i know that the mayor will be looking very intently to see how this program works, not only in my district, but also across the way in the richmond district and see whether this is a program that we can launch even wider city-wide. so, again, i'm really, really thankful for the mayor for his investment, and his dedication to small business. we talked a lot about supporting our small businesses and a lot of times i hear a lot of lip service to it. this is actually putting your mouth, your pocket where your mouth is and actually making that investment to make sure we support our small businesses. again, i want to thank the mayor. i want to thank all of my small businesses who have weathered the years here. * and of course to all of our
10:14 am
departments who have been absolutely phenomenal with this effort. thank you. (applause) >> all right. thank you, supervisor. and we also know that it's so important to make sure that we get the workout on the streets and we have to -- the right kind of nonprofit partners who help us achieve the goals of a program like this one is so important to our small businesses. so i'd like to invite up to speak frank baumgartner from small business economic developer to help get the word out with supervisor chu. so, frank? >> thanks, everybody, for being here. i'm with asian neighborhood design, project coordinator over there and we're a nonprofit architecture firm that's been around 40 years, specializing in improvements for small businesses and affordable housing. and we're really excited to be teamed up with osb and oewd on this venture to bring education about the importance of disabled access. and it's our aim to really make sure that all these small
10:15 am
businesses are inclusive to all patrons with the space that has the accessible upgrades and this a-d-a compliance. thank you. (applause) >> and one of the most important parts of the program of investing neighborhoods is making sure we're listening to the needs of our neighborhood partners. and to speak to those issues, are some of the small businesses who know how important it is to make sure we're getting the word out and who want to make sure their neighbors, small business neighbors are supported. one of those people is angela tickler, the hardware store across the street who will speak to the importance of this program now. (applause) >> angela. >> good morning. i'm also the president of our local merchants association. and, so, we have done a lot of work with carmen and katie's help over the last few years trying to educate particularly our mono lingual merchants in the area how they can protect themselves against these
10:16 am
lawsuits, which we know for a fact can close small businesses to have to close, which is a shame. * cause small businesses, in addition to hiring 51% of the people in the city, are also a huge part of the city's character and individuality, the things that make san francisco special and we want to make sure that that can keep going on. it is incredible that the mayor and carmen chu have figured out how to do this program as a small business owner myself, i am unable to afford to be able to pay for a casp inspection, yet i know how important it could be to me should a lawsuit come my way. so, i will be applying for one of these inspections and i am encouraging all my fellow merchants in this area to do the same, to try and take advantage of what is a great program that the mayor and carmen are piloting here in conjunction with those other agencies. it is important for us to be able to serve everybody in our community, but sometimes it's cost prohibitive for small merchants to be able to do
10:17 am
that. so, we don't want to see people going under by not being able to comply. so, this program will be really important to our merchants as well as others across the city and i hope and think it will be very, very successful. thank you. (applause) >> i want to thank you so much, angela, and for all your leadership as the president of the outer sunset mission and professional association here in the neighborhood. so, thank you. (applause) >> as we said, we want to make sure that we're reaching everyone in a culturally competent way through the program. to speak to that, the partner has done a lot of that work reaching up and down corridors like this one here. that's martin lam from good will. so, martin, if you could come up and speak. >> thank you, thank you very much. (applause) >> hi, on behalf of good will industry, i would like to -- i'm very honored to thank mayor ed lee and supervisor carmen chu for setting aside $400,000 to help local businesses to become a-d-a compliant. we filed with supervisor chu's
10:18 am
office in the past to make sure we get the word out, make sure they know how to do the a-d-a -- more update for the a-d-a. and a lot of our businesses, most of our neighbors in this community are small businesses, mom and pop stores and who don't have a lot of cash flow every month. so, we are very grateful for the mayor and supervisor's office for giving us the support. as you know, lawsuits can mean for a business that they have to close down if they don't have the cash to defend themselves hiring a lawyer. so, this past year alone, a lot of the small businesses actually have to move out of the city because of people doing drive-by lawsuits. here at the good will industry we are very grateful and one of our mission is to help people to create job opportunities for people who come here and work. so, one of the things that we care for is creating jobs in
10:19 am
the city and preserving jobs in the city. so, last year we were able to have about 7,000 people just to come by and to shop for us and to provide job opportunities and training opportunities throughout our missions and our [speaker not understood]. once again, i want to thank the mayor and carmen chu for helping us to get this funding. thank you. (applause) >> thank you all again so much for coming out. as you can see, this is a team effort so we can have the most and strongest collective impact in corridors like these and like the one investing in the neighborhoods program. i know the supervisor was very excited to get this program up and running right away. she'll be joining with the job squad member who has recently come onto the investing neighborhoods team, members of the office of small business to make sure we're getting the word out about this program right now. so, i just want to say thank you to all of you, to rob black from the restaurant
10:20 am
association, benny yee to being here, our merchants, our neighbors and all the city partners who really believe in supporting the businesses and of course to todd from the office of economic and work force development, supervisor chu and our mayor ed lee. thank you so much for this opportunity to help out our small businesses in our community. thank you very much and we'll be available for questions later on. thanks. (applause) ...
10:21 am
mayor lee, supervisors, come on up. and while they are doing that, let's get started. what a beautiful, beautiful day, give yourselves a round of applause. [ applause ] >> fantastic. this is like winning a pennant and how about those san francisco giants. i actually want to marco scutaro wanna be, but it's not going to work and today i will settle formality city librarian luis herr ra and i would like to welcome each and every one of you to our ceremony today. this is indeed a milestone because it's not only the beginning of construction to a new new library, but it's the end of the program, which means it's a long time coming. {$}[ applause ], what it means
10:22 am
that this is the last project and i want to especially thank. north beach community for your patience, for your persistence and your perseverance to have the state-of-the-art library here in your neighborhood. [ applause ] thank you so much very much. [ applause ] >> let's talk a little bit about this library. it's going to be 60% larger than the other library that sits over there. 60% larger. that means more books, more media, wonderful technology, wi-fi access. if you envision this space and if you look that way you have a wonderful adult area. as you walk in from the mason street side, you have an amazing teen center for all the young adults.
10:23 am
absolutely. yelling back here, [ applause ] . that was our deputy city librarian, what can we say? a wonderful space for children. this north beach library serves over 30,000 diverse residents and it's way overdue to have a state-of-the-art library. clean it's really a true partnership with our city departments and i want to thank our dpw folks and their team. mindy, lena, fantastic work in managing this project. [ applause ] and another superb partner in phil ginsburg, rec and park, thank you. [ applause ] this is going to be an amazing space that ties together the joe dimaggio park and you will hear more about that. it's wonderful to know that it
10:24 am
really creates an amazing civic space for north beach and it wouldn't happen wouldn't fantastic support from the community. julie christinsen, a shout out to you. [ applause ] the. so throughout this ceremony, we're going to celebrate and pay tribute to all of the wonderful folks that are making it happen. so without further ado, person that not only has prior director of public works, city administrator and now wonderful mayor for our city; who has been terrifically supportive of our city, mayor ed lee. [ applause ] >> how is everybody doing? [ applause ] [ applause ] well let me begin by saying luis, congratulations but you know, when you are as successful as you are have been with the library commission it's like winning the first world series.
10:25 am
we're not just satisfied with one project, even though there are 24 of these that have been completed with this one, and the proper use of our library bonds program from beginning from the year 2000 with the great partnership of dpw and so forth. there are more great partnerships to be guilt because guess what we're doing with the bonds that publicly improves, we're honoring these kids' future. this is a place where there is going to be invent, sharing, yes, exploring, meeting, oh, gosh, what else did we miss? >> meeting. >> instructor: yes, meeting and sharing and exploring and inventing and reading. of course. we're just going to have so much of this and i'm so happy to be working with the supervisors who also know this. because we're working together
10:26 am
on things that you believe in. and i'm waiting for the chance, when board president chiu and scott wiener have their kids and when they come to north beach branch library, they will remember this day, when they bring their kids up to the front and say mayor lee and luis herrera and everybody worked together to get this done. and, by the way, more is to come when we all work together. because today is about a confirmation, the biggest thanks goes to the parents and residents of north beach. ten years it took us to get to this place. a lot of ups and downs and winding and turning. [ applause ] and if it wasn't for people like julie and others, who i met years ago and we looked each other in the eye when i was at dpw and we said we're going to get this done and make
10:27 am
it even a better libraries, because libraries are centers for our communities. they are seismically safe. they are going to have the most modern equipment for our kids to grow up and promise all of the things that we promised for them to do to become even better residents. the things that keeps me going and everybody else goes in collaboration, we're doing it for you. it's not about us. it's not about announcements, about things that are politically smart for us to do. it's about the future of this city. and with these 24 branches, and now the smart thing to do, connect up with great parks. yes. [ applause ] because the vision, julie didn't have a vision of just having a great center library; right? our neighborhoods aren't just going to accept that to be the end. it's to connect it up with world-class parks. that is what prop b is about
10:28 am
and why we work together and mohammed comes in and smooths out columbus avenue. because i just road that street and it feels like a construction road [ laughter ] we have got to get all of these roads built and this is what scott wiener and others works on:we have the opportunity to unite everybody and it's up to us in government to have listened carefully, and be responsible with your money and get the job done. are we ready to get the job done? >> yes! are we ready to build the future for your kids? >> yes. >> are we ready to support the great parks in san francisco with proposition b? >> yes! let's go forward and keep another world series and escambia keep our san francisco successful! thank you, mr. mayor, we're going to have a celebration this morning.

he reminded me it's about community spaces too. so take a moment and look up. look up. because that is where the meeting room will be on the second floor with after-hour access for all the poets and all the kids' story times and various activities. it's going to be fantastic. we want to continue our theme of partnerships and teamwork by acknowledging the great staff that has put it all together and it's going to continue to offer services here in the neighborhood at our current library. and i see robert carlson, robert, would you wave? he is a great community advocate here and does a terrific job. [ applause ] other members of the team, begining with our chief of branches, edward melton, edward, great work. [ applause ] elsie wong, another district manager helping to put it all together. thank you for the fantastic job you do. more partners from our city

District superintendent singing rap and his assistant playing drums among cast members
|Buzz Garwood, right, is joined by fellow teacher David Crissinger on guitar in a scene from the "735-5003" video Garwood produced for the Corona-Norco Unified School District. IMAGES COURTESY OF BUZZ GARWOOD
The problem, Buzz Garwood was told, is that Corona-Norco Unified School District officials don't like surprises. "When crises occur, they weren't finding out right away. It could be hours or days."
The solution, Garwood was told, was to produce a humorous video that would remind school principals to call the district immediately whenever there's a crisis on campus.
So over the summer, Garwood, the technology teacher at Home Gardens Academy, went to work.
"My biggest challenge was figuring out how I would approach the topic. I mean there's nothing funny about a lockdown because someone has a weapon on campus like Sandy Hook, or drugs or all the other crises that can occur on a typical campus."
Coincidentally, his wife works for Delta Airlines, whose safety videos have become popular by using humor. Maybe he could do the same thing.
"I was wracking my brain, then I boiled it down to one sentence: To know who to call right away and that number."
|Linda White, assistant to the superintendent for the Corona-Norco Unified School District, plays drums in a scene from the "735-5003" video reminding principals to report campus crises to the district office.
No doubt you're familiar with the rock band Tommy Tutone and its 1981 hit, "867-5309/Jenny." Garwood, 46, rewrote the lyrics, replacing the number with 736-5003, the district number principals should call.
"I recorded the song, drew up my storyboards, (and) when school started up, I filmed it over a few days on campus and at the district office," said Garwood, who has taught in the district since 1996.
The cast includes Superintendent Michael Lin in the role of a rapper and Linda White, assistant to the superintendent, playing drums. "I taught her to keep a beat just long enough to capture the shot," Garwood said. David Crissinger, a language arts teacher at Home Gardens, and Garwood also have key roles, both playing the guitar.
"It's really funny to see this other side of our district office personnel," Garwood said. "They're normally so serious! When Dr. Lin raps about sending in the Dragonfly Drones, it really shows his sense of humor. It went viral around the district office."
The project, much of it done with animation software on a Mac, took about 60 hours, Garwood said. He billed for only 30 hours, costing the district $1,200. The video runs four minutes.
And the verdict? "It was the biggest hit at the principals meeting last week," Garwood said. "They laughed their heads off."
And the kids in his classes loved it as well, he said. Beyond that, the video contains all the elements – concept, planning and storyboards – he can use in instructing students on how to create an effective story with video.
|Corona-Norco Unified School District Superintendent Michael Lin raps in the "736-5003" video produced by Home Gardens Academy teacher Buzz Garwood.
Lin was a good sport for participating in the video, and then actually answering my questions. No, he doesn't have a manager to get him more gigs, and there are no plans for a rap CD. Show business is not his life.
He said the video "accomplished our goal when it comes to communications and safety." Eight of the district's 49 principals are new this year, and safety is a "standing item" when they gather at the beginning of the school year.
"We talk about safety when there's no need for it." Something like preventative maintenance. "It can be done in a variety of ways, and Linda (White) decided to do it in a lighthearted way."
White, who initiated the project, agreed that the video is effective. In fact, three calls reporting campus incidents were made to 736-5003 the day after the principal viewed the video. One principal noted he had no trouble remembering that number, which is repeated dozens of time during the video.
And how would White review her performance? "I'm not planning to quit my day job," she said.
The video is clever. See it for yourself on YouTube at http://youtu.be/RGtJJBmqi1o.

Officials in Burlington are debating the pros and cons of expanding the LaSalle Park Marina.
One of the key concerns surrounding the $14 million expansion is that tax dollars would be needed if the project flops.
According to a finance department report, Burlington would be on the hook if the LaSalle Park Marina Association can't pay back a $4.6 million loan over 25 years.
The plan for a permanent break wall and boosting the capacity to 349 slips also depends on help from the province and the federal government.

A Murdoch University-led collaboration is using DNA analysis to examine how the earliest West Australians lived.
Dr Mike Bunce and Dr James Haile from Murdoch's ancient DNA laboratory (aDNA) have received a $152,000 ARC grant to examine DNA samples from archaeological cave deposits at the Devil's Lair cave site near Margaret River in South West WA.
"Put simply it is one of the most important archaeological sites in Australia," Dr Bunce said.
"Evidence of people using the site dates back nearly 48,000 years.
"Some remarkable findings about the first Australians have been gathered from the excavations at Devil's Lair, and we hope to add to this."
The project will use existing samples taken from the Devil's Lair site, as well as undertaking new excavations.
"Primarily we will be using sediments, small plugs – a few grams – of dirt from the entire archaeological sequence and then finding out what plants/animals/insects are contained in the sediment," Dr Bunce said.
"To date we have samples that yield DNA from a layer of the excavation that is 23,000 years old.
"One of the purposes of re-excavating some of these sites is to obtain 'fresh' and uncontaminated samples up to 50,000 years for ancient DNA analysis."
The study will utilise cutting edge DNA sequencing equipment at the aDNA lab and the Murdoch-run State Agricultural Biotechnology Centre (SABC).
"Without a doubt isolating DNA from dirt of this age is technically challenging – but this is what our aDNA lab is good at," Dr Bunce said.
"A few years ago this project would not have been possible – the technology in the field of genetics is moving along at a cracking pace.
"Using new DNA sequencing equipment at the SABC we are now able to effectively profile all the DNA in the samples in a cost-effective and timely manner."
Dr Bunce said the study will build up a comprehensive picture of how the environment of the South West – a biodiversity hotspot – has changed over time.
"For example, what plants inhabited the region before the last ice age, how much biodiversity has been lost over time, and especially since the arrivals of Europeans?"
"Also, the DNA isolated from the sediments will add to our knowledge of how aboriginals used the site, for instance the foods they hunted and foraged."
The group, which includes evolutionary biologist Professor Tom Gilbert from the University of Copenhagen, and archaeologist Dr Joe Dortch from the University of Western Australia, will work on the site for three years.
"The field of ancient DNA and archaeology go hand-in-hand," Dr Bunce said.
"The collaborators on this project are the archaeologists and the traditional Nyungar owners of the land.
"Collectively we have the expertise to open a new chapter in the understanding of archaeology in the south-west of WA."

Yet humans are the dominant species on the planet -- having founded civilizations and religions, developed intricate and diverse forms of communication, learned science, built cities, and created breathtaking works of art -- while chimps remain animals concerned primarily with the basic necessities of survival. What is it about that two percent difference in DNA that has created such a divergence between evolutionary cousins? In this fascinating, provocative, passionate, funny, endlessly entertaining work, renowned Pulitzer Prize-winning author and scientist Jared Diamond explores how the extraordinary human animal, in a remarkably short time, developed the capacity to rule the world . . . and the means to irrevocably destroy it.

Barry Cunliffe
The Ancient Celts
Anul aparitiei: 2000
For two and a half thousand years the Celts have continued to fascinate those who have come into contact with them, yet their origins have remained a mystery and even today are the subject of heated debate among historians and archaeologists. In this erudite and engaging illustrated history, Professor Cunliffe explores the archaeological reality of these bold warriors and skilled craftsmen of barbarian Europe who inspired fear in the Greeks and Romans. He investigates the texts of the classical writers and contrasts their view of the Celts with current archaeological findings. Tracing the emergence of chiefdoms and the fifth- to third-century migrations as far as Bosnia and the Czech Republic, he assesses the disparity between the traditional and contemporary information on the Celts. Other aspects of Celtic identity such as the cultural diversity of the tribes, their social and religious systems, art, language and law, are also examined. From the picture that emerges, Professor Cunliffe is able to distinguish between the original Celts, and tribes which were 'Celtized', thus giving us a new insight into the true identity of this ancient people.
Mary H. Manhein
The Bone Lady: Life as a Forensic Anthropologist
THE RIVETING TALE OF A TRUE-LIFE CRIME-FIGHTING SCIENTIFIC SLEUTH When a skeleton is all that's left to tell the story of a crime, Mary Manhein, otherwise known as "the bone lady", is called in. For almost two decades, Manhein has used her expertise in forensic anthropology to help law enforcement agents -- locally, nationally, and internationally -- solve their most perplexing mysteries. In this eerie book she shares the extraordinary details of the often high-profile cases on which she works, and the science underlying her analyses. Here are the fascinating details of how, from a pile of bones, she assesses age, sex, race, signs of trauma, and time of death, and how she can even use clay to re-create a face. Written with the compassion and humor of a born storyteller, The Bone Lady is an unforgettable glimpse into the lab where one scientist works to reveal the human stories behind the remains.

This study aimed to investigate the growth and attachment behaviour of resident human skin bacterial strains on an antimicrobial silver fabric. A silver treated textile was supplied by a New Zealand apparel company. The antimicrobial effect of the silver treated textile was investigated in two parts. Firstly the efficacy of the antimicrobial was tested against a selection of known residential human skin bacterial strains. Secondly the bacterial growth behaviour of the bacterial strains on fabric was examined against the silver treated textile (nonwashed and washed), alongside a woven and knit control of similar structural fabric properties. A novel humidity chamber was designed that enabled the fabrics to be suspended in a controlled environment where the temperature and humidity simulated that of the microclimate at the skin surface. Fabrics were inoculated with bacteria and suspended in the chamber for varying lengths of time that coincide with normal wear of clothing. Bacterial cells were removed from the fabrics and grown over 24 hours in order to quantify bacterial growth on the fabrics. Growth was represented as a percentage of the colonies originally inoculated on the fabric in attempts to quantify bacterial adherence. The silver treated fabric sold and marketed for antimicrobial purposes was shown not to exhibit any bactericidal effect using the methods set out in this study, regardless of the selected bacterial strain or concentration of bacterial populations. The bacterial activity of the strains on the fabrics did not produce results that were expected. Due to the absence of an antimicrobial effect, the activity of the natural skin bacterial strains on the fabric did not reduce with the addition of the "antimicrobial" treatment. In some cases bacterial activity was increased with the addition of the antimicrobial treatment. Although washing the antimicrobial fabric resulted in a tighter sett, there was no change in bacterial activity. Gram positive and gram negative cell membrane structure differences did not influence bacterial interaction with the fabrics. Anaerobic bacteria did not display fabric interaction until after 6 hours as opposed to one hour for the aerobic bacterial strains. In general the longer the fabric was exposed to the simulated wear environment, the more bacteria grew and the greater the interaction with the fabric. Overall, fabric structure had no affect on bacterial interaction. Majority of the differences recorded in this study were in the order of one log or less which is minimal in terms of bacterial growth. There is an issue in the textile sector of antimicrobials being marketed as such, with limited proof of bactericidal effect. Although the issue regarding bacterial interactions on antimicrobials still stands, this study brings to light the challenges faced by apparel companies reliant on fabric suppliers. There is the need for transparency in supply chains and standardised international requirements for demonstrating antimicrobial efficacy of antimicrobials. Antimicrobial resistance is an international concern. Manufacturers and consumers need to take care in the use of antimicrobials. 2016-12-11T20:40:20Z Furs to furriers in Dunedin, New Zealand, to 1940 http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6806 Furs to furriers in Dunedin, New Zealand, to 1940 2005 Tosh, Evan J. This thesis chronicles the development of the fur trade in Dunedin from the 1870s to 1940. The fur trade in Dunedin started in response to the large numbers of rabbit skins and meat that were able to be marketed following the explosion in introduced rabbit numbers in the 1870s. Most rabbit traders diversified into buying and selling other products of the land, but a few became more involved in the fur trade, by concentrating on the rabbit trade or by diversifying into fur dressing and/ or manufacturing and retailing fur garments. Dunedin became the major source of skins for export, and also was home to the main fur processing factory, and largest fur garment manufacturing operation in the country. Government measures to foster local industries and employment through the use of protective tariffs are examined. The demand for fur garments and the protection of these tariffs aided the development of fur garment manufacturers from 1920 onwards. The controversy over whether the commercial use of rabbits hindered the policy of rabbit destruction is examined. Whilst the Government tried to encourage rabbit destruction it did not hinder the trade in rabbit meat or skins. This contrasts with the official attitude to opossums, as population increases were encouraged in order to build up a fur trades. But by the late 1920s it was realised that the opossum was actually damaging forests and had become a pest. Similar good ideas, such as introduction of the natural enemies of rabbits in the 1890s, such as ferrets and weasels, were also identified as environmentally disastrous in this period. During the depression fur prices dropped, and this affected trappers and skin dealers, but allowed manufacturers to produce a cheaper range of fur products to satisfy the continuing demand for fur. Fur prices increased after the depression, fur garments remained popular, and the fur trade continued to thrive. The fur manufacturers future was jeopardised in 1938 by crisis in New Zealand's foreign exchange situation. Quantitative import restrictions were introduced, and these initially included a ban on the import of raw and processed furs (as well as garments). The fur trade successfully lobbied, and were able to get some restrictions lifted on raw skins. However this coincided with the advent of New Zealand's involvement in the Second World War and the thesis ends with the fur trade waiting to see how it will be affected by the introduction of war time trade restrictions. 2016-10-03T03:19:44Z Electrical Conductivity as an Indicator of Milk Spoilage for Use in Biosensor Technology http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6788 Electrical Conductivity as an Indicator of Milk Spoilage for Use in Biosensor Technology 2016 Li, Xingyi Milk is characterised as a perishable food. It is vulnerable to microbial contamination and has a limited shelf life, even when stored in a cold environment. Rapid milk spoilage is a sustained problem that restrains the shelf life of milk, and it consistently burdens the global food waste. Thus, there is a continuous interest in seeking better means of milk quality control and management. Recently, the development of biosensing technology offers a potential solution for better managing strategies of milk quality. Biosensors have been developed from growing demand for a reliable, cost-effective and rapid chemical detection tool. Many disciplines including clinical medicine, food industry, and environment monitoring employ biosensors as analytical tools. In particular, the use of electrical conductivity (EC) as a biosensing approach has frequently been studied in the dairy sector. However, its application to milk spoilage has yet to be fully explored. The scope of this study was to investigate the use of EC as a parameter to aid in the prediction of milk spoilage. A portable conductivity meter was used to measure the EC in milk; the total bacterial count (TBC), lactic acid (LA) concentration and pH were assessed using standard plate count methods, titratable acidity and digital pH meter, respectively. Commercial pasteurized skim and whole milk were used in the study. The variations of EC, TBC, LA concentration and pH were measured over an extended storage of milk that held at either 4 or 8℃ in the trial experiment. The change in EC was comparatively examined with the change of other measured parameters, and the interrelationship between EC and parameters was analysed by correlation analysis. In addition, several laboratory-controlled model systems were used to assess the impacts of every individual parameter on the change of EC. The results of trial and model systems were compared with each other. The trial experiment showed that EC progressively increases with an increase in TBC, LA concentration and pH during spoilage of skim and whole milk under storing at 4 and 8℃. The change in EC was found to have moderate to strong correlations with the measured parameters in spoilt milk. A statistically significant difference in EC value was observed before the complete spoilage of milk, when either the flavour defects or textural changes occurred. Moreover, the model systems revealed that the increase in EC is proportional linear to an increased LA concentration and decreased pH. By comparing the results between trial experiment and model systems, it showed that LA approximately contributed one-quarter of the total proportion of changed EC in spoiled milk. Furthermore, a number of bacteria present in milk with more than 〖10〗^7 colony forming units (CFU)/ml significantly decreased the mean EC value of milk. In addition, the 'best before date' (BBD) underestimated the correct shelf life of milk at both 4 and 8℃. The fixed nature of BBD restrains its use as a suitable indicator. In comparison, EC can be a potential alternative to predict milk spoilage. Since it is a direct measurement of spoilage of milk, and changes simultaneously with the growth of bacteria, production of LA and acidity in milk held at either the optimal (4℃) or the inappropriate (8℃) temperatures. Further investigations are needed to obtain a better understanding of the interrelationship between EC and milk spoilage preceding the valid application of biosensing technology. 2016-09-23T04:53:56Z New Zealand Police Uniform Operational Trouser Wear Trial and Analysis http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5719 New Zealand Police Uniform Operational Trouser Wear Trial and Analysis 2015 Mulligan, Jacqueline Eileen The New Zealand Police provides a uniform for Office of Constable employees that is compulsory wear for most staff whilst on duty. As part of a commercial tender process for the development, manufacture and supply of new uniform operational trousers for New Zealand Police constabulary staff an end user wear trial with operational staff was conducted. A visual evaluation of selected trial garments before and after wear was undertaken in conjunction with an evaluation of technical test results from independent certified laboratories, of the trouser fabrics against selected test methods. The wear trial took place over a period of one year and involved 96 staff, representing 12 workgroups, in four police districts, wearing three sample trousers for a period of four months each. At the end of each trial period participants completed an on-line survey with their responses. A further smaller group trialled one style for the full year long trial period. Of the participants recruited 78% were male and 22% were female. The three trouser styles worn were distributed so 33% of the trial participants were allocated one of the three styles during each season. Of the total number of participants that started the trial 87% went on to complete the full trial and survey. The wear trial responses showed that for some trouser styles there was more variation amongst participant response than for others. However none of the trousers were rated as unacceptable. Trouser A and B had very similar results but overall trouser B scored the highest mean ratings in all factors apart from appearance retention and design/appearance/fit where it rated the same as trouser A. Trouser C had the lowest mean score in all aspects apart from care of trousers where it had the same rating as trouser A. Of all the workgroups, dog section/commercial vehicle investigation unit (CVIU) and maritime unit considered the three trousers to be less acceptable overall than the other workgroups. Of the 83 participants who completed the trial, 27.7% preferred trouser A, with a similar number preferring trouser B overall (26.5%). Trouser C was the least preferred of the trial trousers (10.8%), slightly ahead of the current issue trouser (6.0%). Of those staff that normally wore overalls, about three quarters would choose to remain with overalls, rather than change to a shirt and trousers. Comparison of the three trousers and garment fabrics in both the technical laboratory testing (included abrasion resistance, colour fastness, tensile strength, tear strength, air permeability) and visual evaluation and through the wear trial showed no one trouser performed best in all areas. The trouser fabric technical test results for trouser A (polyester/wool twill fabric) more closely aligned with the results from the visual evaluation of the trial garments after wear. Trouser A had the best overall appearance retention of the three trousers, had good technical fabric results and similar results to trouser B (polyester/cotton twill fabric) in the wear trial. Trouser B and trouser C showed significant colour loss from abrasion of the fabric surface after wear. These issues were due in part to the effect of the operational appointments carried on the police duty belt and illustrated that laboratory technical tests should be used in conjunction with wear trials as standard test methods may not always replicate real world conditions and interactions with other police uniform and equipment items. 2015-06-16T21:55:11Z Architectural design and the Development of Place Attachment & Identity http://hdl.handle.net/10523/5532 Architectural design and the Development of Place Attachment & Identity 2015 Fersterer, Christopher Karl This research explores the relationship between domestic dwellings, nature and natural environments. I propose that, in order to develop environmental conservation values, individuals must feel some sense of connection to, or lack of separation from, the environment. The places where people reside is where they likely will have a stronger sense of connection and how they live will further mediate this connection. The research considers how vernacular building styles and construction practices influence engagement with the natural environment. I begin by identifying design elements of huts and baches within natural environments. These structures are considered as a New Zealand vernacular, and their design language is thought to have potential applications that may provide value in contemporary urban architectural design. The study of predominantly small scaled and modest structures also provides a counterpoint to the large scale dwellings prevalent in many urban subdivisions, where relationships with natural systems often appear diminished. It is here where the issue can be seen as a wicked problem, where the wants and needs of the individual conflict with the preservation of environmental systems, as is evident with uncompromised domestic sprawl. The most significant observations from this thesis are drawn from a series of case studies with participants who had demonstrated a strong sense of attachment to their homes and their natural settings, and who had been involved in the design and development of these homes. I found that the case study participants had made specific connections to the natural settings where they had chosen to live and the design and/or construction of their homes had them respond to these settings. Memories and past experiences, which included references to huts and baches, but also to dining and socialising, informed many of their design decisions. The act of designing or conceptualising their homes encouraged them to respond to a range of issues determined by their sites and past experiences. The interview process encouraged them to express these issues and they were able to identify specific choices they had made with respect to a series of influences. For these participants' owner involvement in design or development of their home and land helped to reinforce meaningful attachments to the environment, and that this, for some, was a reflection of concern for wider environmental issues. Consequently, the development of tools or practices that encourage deeper participation by owners in the design of their homes may prove effective in shifting views to accommodate new values of environment preservation. 2015-03-13T04:02:28Z The Eden Hore Collection: Exploring scenarios for re-display http://hdl.handle.net/10523/4931 The Eden Hore Collection: Exploring scenarios for re-display 2014 Metzger, Jamie Averill The Eden Hore Museum of Fashion contains dress and other artefacts, collected by James Eden Hore in the 1970s, and is housed in a private museum on Glenshee Farm (Naseby, New Zealand). Eden Hore bequeathed his collection to his nephew and wife, John and Margaret Steele, on his death in 1997. The aim of this research was to develop exhibition scenarios for the re-display of the Eden Hore Collection in another location. The New Museology advocates for museums to engage in consultation during the development stages of an exhibition, to benefit both the institution and the public. Participatory Design is a method used by designers to engage end-users in the design process to create solutions which respond directly to their needs. Three key stakeholder groups were identified, and consisted of the current collection owners, a group of experts on the study and display of New Zealand dress, and a group of past and prospective visitors to the Eden Hore Collection. Participatory Design methods, such as interviews and a workshop, enabled exhibition scenario development to be undertaken according to the inclusive principles of the New Museology. Consultation with the current owners indicated that the future location of the Eden Hore Collection was uncertain. Stakeholders identified positive and negative aspects of the current display of the collection. Issues of interpretation, curatorial selection, and alternative display methods were identified. In order to address these issues, alongside the critical uncertainty of the final location of the collection, an exhibition scenario planning toolkit for the Eden Hore Collection was developed. The toolkit takes the form of two decks of cards which enables users to develop exhibition scenarios by determining interpretive themes, collection items which relate to these themes, and consider different display methods. 2014-07-28T21:44:00Z Pre-European Māori textiles from South Island New Zealand http://hdl.handle.net/10523/4606 Pre-European Māori textiles from South Island New Zealand 2014 Smith, Catherine Ann The study of archaeological textiles is commonly reported as a tool for illumination of technology, social process (gender, production, exchange, interaction) and cultural difference. While most interpretation of prehistoric human society has been based on study of more robust material culture increasingly evidence suggests the importance of textiles in subsistence economies. Plants, and the textiles made from them, were likely as important as food for past human survival. However systematic, rigorous technical and analytical examination had not previously been applied to pre-European Māori textiles in New Zealand. Few Māori textiles were known to be prehistoric, and previous examination of them had limited research value. In order to improve knowledge about pre-European Māori textiles, and contextualise the archaeological discovery of a large assemblage of early textiles (early 15th century AD, Kaitorete Spit, Banks Peninsula, New Zealand) information was sought about existence of other relevant artefacts. A survey of New Zealand museums resulted in discovery of a larger corpus of prehistoric textiles than anticipated, scattered nationwide-wide. Three textile assemblages with good provenance from South Island, New Zealand, were selected for study i) Fiordland textiles; n.d. likely c. 18th-early 19th century AD ii) Puketoi Station textiles (Central Otago) early 18th century AD and iii) Kaitorete Spit (Banks Peninsula) early 15th century AD. All 206 individual artefacts were systematically documented (photography, illustration, diagrams) requiring development of terminology based on structural characteristics, and a pro-forma to record essential textile attributes. The textiles showed innovation and difference. There was diversity of structure (wovens; plain, twills with different orientations and patterns, weft twining, knotting, braiding, folded yarns) and selvages (braids, twined, re-insertion into kaupapa in assorted ways). Variation in production and structure implied difference in artefact form, even when function of incomplete artefacts was difficult to discern. Textiles that were identifiable included cordage, containers and bags, mats or architectural elements, sandals and processed textile materials. When artefact function was unclear, selvages, textile structure and surface and decorative treatments were used to speculate about possible end-use, based on post-contact examples and ethnographic studies of Māori textile production. Based on these criteria, the Kaitorete assemblage may provide evidence of the earliest extant Māori clothing (weft-twined, tagged fragments could be derived from a cloak(s), short upper body garment such as a mai, pokeka or para, or a lower body garment such as a maro). Additionally divergence from previously-noted customary textile forms (based on post-contact artefacts) could be discerned. Noteworthy also was that the earliest textiles studied (Kaitorete Spit; c.1400 AD), were also among the most complex (structure, sett, surface treatment) and were more complex than textiles previously thought earlier in the sequence (Lake Hauroko). Developmental models articulated by Buck (1925; 1938) and Simmons (1969) therefore did not adequately account for Māori textiles production, also calling into question the veracity of evolutionary progress as a model for culture change in New Zealand. In light of the short chronology of prehistoric New Zealand, and the environmental heterogeneity in the South Island, a concomitant diversity in cultural response to specific conditions (animal, plant, temperature, levels of population, interrelationships) seems more logical, and indeed discernable in the textile assemblages studied. The pre-European Māori textiles studied amply illustrated weaving expertise, and significant antecedent craft specialisation in producing textiles from plants endemic to New Zealand. Indeed the study of three assemblages of early Māori 'perishables' provided palpable evidence of the centrality of textiles in pre-European New Zealand, not only for clothing and portage, but also for procurement and storage of food. In addition to the importance of textiles for survival in pre-European Māori subsistence strategies, it is also postulated that textile production, trade and exchange were likely a defining aspect of social reproduction, essential for successful adaptation to New Zealand.

Properties of socks have been investigated previously, most often for comfort, sport or military purposes. The type of fibre used in socks has been a focal point, with differences detected in properties often attributed to the superior characteristics of one fibre type over another. The focus on fibre type has been such that the effects of other sock components (e.g. yarn and fabric structure) have often been overlooked. One reason the effect of fibre type, yarn structure and fabric structure on sock properties is not fully understood is due to the design of experiments which are such to preclude these characteristics to be separated from one another. The difference between this study and previous work is the use of sock fabrics where the manufacturing has been carefully controlled, ensuring that only the variables of interest differ among the fabrics. Three common fibre types (acrylic, fine wool, mid micron wool), yarn structures (single ply, high-twist, low-twist) and fabric structures (single jersey, half-terry, terry) were selected as variables, and the 3 x 3 x 3 experimental design resulted in 27 sock fabrics. Thus, the aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of fibre type, yarn structure and fabric structure on thermal and moisture properties, frictional properties, compression and recovery from compression of sock fabrics. Standard test methods were used where appropriate. Frictional properties and compression were determined using adapted versions of methods previously reported. Fabric structure dominated most selected properties, with terry fabrics being thickest, most thermally resistant when dry, most absorbent, most resistant to water vapour transfer and most conductive to heat transfer when damp. Single jersey fabrics had the lowest coefficient of static and dynamic friction, half-terry had the highest. Half-terry fabrics retained the greatest percentage of their original thickness during compression, however single jersey fabrics had the best compression to recovery ratio. When the amount of energy absorbed was standardised for fabric thickness, only the number of compression cycles and whether the fabric was dry or damp had measurable effects. Dry fabrics had a better compression to recovery ratio and absorbed more energy than damp fabrics. Friction between fabric and a synthetic skin was affected most by the applied load, with a higher load resulting in a greater frictional force, and higher coefficients of static and dynamic friction. The overall effect of yarn on properties was less than fabric structure, with small but significant effects on the coefficient of static friction, compression to recovery ratio, thermal resistance and liquid absorption capacity. The effect of fibre type was also minimal, with differences detected among fibre types typically less than differences detected among the fabric structures. The most important effect of fibre was on the static frictional force and coefficient of static friction of damp fabrics, with fabrics composed of fine wool exhibiting lowest friction, and acrylic fabrics the highest. 2013-12-17T02:59:03Z
