Roger Thurow: The First 1,000 Days
BODY:
During Pulitzer prize nominee and Wall Street Journal reporter of three decades Roger Thurow’s time as a foreign correspondent he covered famines in Africa. Now he advocates for better nutrition around the world. His book The First 1,000 Days: a Crucial time for Mothers and Children – and the World tells the story of the vital importance of proper nutrition from conception to a child's second birthday through experiences of families in Uganda, India, Guatemala and his home town of Chicago.
EXTENDED BODY:
Former Wall Street Journal reporter and Pulitzer prize nominee Roger Thurow believes getting the right food in our first 1000 days of existence can set us up for life.
Famine reporter turned nutrition campaigner, Thurow has been to the four corners of the world reporting on communities hoping to transform their children's prospects during a window of opportunity from conception to our 2nd birthday.
According to the World Health Organisation 1 in 4 children are stunted because of malnutrition during this period.
In his book The First 1,000 Days he takes us into the lives of families in Ethiopia, India, Guatemala and Chicago - where there is either a lack of food, or in Chicago's case a predilection for junk food -to illuminate the science, economics, and politics of malnutrition.
In 2003, he and Journal colleague Scott Kilman wrote a series of stories on famine in Africa that was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in International Reporting.
Their reporting on humanitarian and development issues was also honoured by the United Nations. Thurow and Kilman are authors of the book, ENOUGH: Why the World's Poorest Starve in an Age of Plenty.
Thurow also joined The Chicago Council on Global Affairs as a senior fellow for global agriculture and food policy in January 2010; he is the columnist of the Council's Global Food for Thought blog.
In 2012, he also became a Fellow at the ONE Campaign.
He was also a former reporter for The Wall Street Journal for 30 years – 20 of them as a foreign correspondent based in Europe and Africa.

Empowering single Indonesian women
BODY:
Nani Zulminarni is on a mission to empower women in her home country of Indonesia, especially those marginalised by the status of being single, widowed, abandoned or divorced. Despite there being about 6 and a half million women heads of households in Indonesia, they have no social or legal recognition. After her divorce in 2000 Nani found that she often faced discrimination and stereotyping as a divorcee, which led her to projects to empower poor women heads of households. She then founded PEKKA, an organization that supports over 30,000 rural widows, abandoned and divorced women in more than 800 villages throughout Indonesia, assisting its members and leaders with access to livelihood resources, decision-making processes, social protection and justice.
EXTENDED BODY:
Nani Zulminarni is on a mission to empower women in her home country of Indonesia, especially those marginalised by the status of being single, widowed, abandoned or divorced.
Despite there being about 6 and a half million women heads of households in Indonesia, they have no social or legal recognition. After her divorce in 2000 Nani found that she often faced discrimination and stereotyping as a divorcee, which led her to projects to empower poor women heads of households.
She then founded PEKKA, an organization that supports over 30,000 rural widows, abandoned and divorced women in more than 800 villages throughout Indonesia, assisting its members and leaders with access to livelihood resources, decision-making processes, social protection and justice.
Read an edited excerpt of the interview below:
30,000 rural widows or abandoned or divorced women, 800 villages throughout Indonesia – this is a big organisation. How quickly has it built?
Fifteen years. It’s very slow actually. We wish we could reach more but it’s very difficult because the members of this group are really the poorest of the poor and to really bring them into this organisation is not easy. We have to go house by house.
What kind of resistance do you come across?
The first is from the community themselves. We start organising and they come, ‘What are you doing?’ and they spread rumours that we will traffic them, that we will sell them into prostitution, because the women don’t have husbands. For the first three years we were rejected by many villagers and also by traditional leaders. They’re male usually, do not like what we are doing. Local government as well… but after, maybe starting the fifth year, we slowly started to get some recognition.
Are they starting to see some of those entrenched interests, starting to see that you’re solving some problems?
Yes, also they see the leadership of the women grow and even we in the Eastern part of Indonesia we have seen a few women become village head, elected by the whole village. It’s a huge transformation because they were being discriminated against but they’re now becoming the village head.
While it’s solving problems and upsetting the status quo, I can see that it’s getting wider support, but is it going to get to a wider point where there is more of a democratic element to it and some of the entrenched interests might say, ‘Hang on a minute’. Do you think about that or do you see it as an important building block towards more broader rights and leadership roles?
We do, yes. We think it is a building block and also we try to really use the PAKKA association to really modify other marginalised groups to do the same, to take the broader leadership in the community because they understand how being the poorest of the poor and how to facilitate the other community members.
That 15 years coincides with your own personal circumstances almost exactly. What was your own experience being a married woman and socially acceptable and then what was your experience after your divorce, how dramatic was it?
Well it is very bad. I never imagined, because before when people would say, ‘It’s very difficult’, being a divorced woman, single woman, I never imagine about that. So when I experience this, it’s real.
So I had experience when I started organising this and I had meetings in this conflict area and behind us were several mens village head. When I introduced myself and said that my name is Nani and I am divorced and I have three sons, suddenly this man stands up and points his finger to my face and said, ‘Did you say that you’re divorced? How dare you come to my village and want to work with my women while you can’t even take care of your husband.’ So that made me aware of how bad people see divorced women while they don't even understand why we get divorced. Nobody wants to get divorced, especially when you have children. I reject to be in a polygamous marriage and I do not want to be betraying my marriage, so that is why I get divorced.
It is really difficult and at the same time I was with a women’s organisation at the time and I felt embarrassed. How can a leader of the women’s’ organisation get divorced? So that is why then I resigned from this organisation and I started my own organisation called PAKKA, because I thought I had to heal myself. I got divorced and I have three small children and I lost my income. It was very difficult even for me; I have a good education background, I have my friends, I have all of my connections and network. It’s difficult.
I travelled around several places in Indonesia and I found these poor women living alone with five small children in the middle of nowhere, with nothing, and yet she can smile and she can survive. It makes me feel like something must be organised with these women to get all of their energy and spirit to fight this.

Gotta have skin
BODY:
A tougher artificial skin, that is quick to grow in the lab, could revolutionise the treament of burn victims and increase their chance of survival.
EXTENDED BODY:
University of Auckland scientists should soon be able to grow new skin, faster and tougher than ever before. It could revolutionise ways of treating burn victims and boost their chances of survival.
The new technique is the brainchild of Dr Vaughan Feisst and Professor Rod Dunbar at the University of Auckland’s School of Biological Sciences. After seven years work they will soon be ready to start clinical trials.
When David Steemson visited the pair in the lab, Vaughan let him look into the incubator machine, where donated skin was being broken down as the first step of creating new skin.
The separated cells are placed on a newly developed synthetic substrate, and after being fed the right kind of food, those cells start reproducing.
Scientists have made skin before, but the Auckland researchers have developed a way to grow more than just one layer of skin, just like the real thing. That makes the finished product a whole lot stronger than previous fragile iterations.
Skin is the body’s biggest organ. Each human carries around about four kilograms of it.
Rod says that in severe burn cases the body effectively leaks, and it has to be sealed off if the patient is to be saved. At present, if the patient does not have enough of their own skin for grafts, the surgeon can use donated skin from deceased donors.
But he says rejection kicks in rapidly, once the immune system realises the skin is from somebody else. The donor skin then has to be scraped off in a series of operations that have been likened to medieval torture. With luck, more skin from the patient’s own body can then be grafted.
All this could change though, if the Auckland scientists’ techniques to produce a lot of new skin from a tiny number of the patient’s skin cells goes into commercial use.
“Now we want to develop a manufacturing system that’s so simple to use we could put into any lab in the world,” says Rod. “It could be in a burns unit at a disaster site or in a war situation. The easier we make it the more likely it is for the technology to be picked up.”
Vaughan says other scientists have tried to grow new skin on a substrate made from animal product but he says that means there’s a danger of disease or rejection.
“We’ve found a synthetic substrate that we can make lots of, and is easy to manipulate if we change the properties of the skin”.
It is special material that will dissolve once the new skin is put in place. It’s the same product used in dissolvable sutures.
Rod says his team has come up with a dozen innovations to get the new product to work. The techniques are being kept under wraps, while the University applies for world patents. That could be achieved by the end of the year.
“It could be a fully automatic skin-making machine,” says Vaughan. “This is my baby. I’ve been working on it so long.”

Nick Bollinger steps to the dance-friendly debut of Canadian-Haitian DJ/producer Kaytranada.
EXTENDED BODY:
Nick Bollinger steps to the dance-friendly debut of Canadian-Haitian DJ/producer Kaytranada.
Until recently, the name Kaytranada was one you were likely to come across only if you were paying close attention to the world of dance remixes. But the release of Kaytranada’s first full-length album proves he is an artist whose work is destined for the wider world.
Kaytranada is Louis Kevin Celestin, 23-year-old son of Haitian immigrants, living in Montreal. He’s been DJing, mixing and making his own recordings since his early teens. But it was a 2012 unofficial remix of Janet Jackson’s megahit ‘If’ – posted on SoundCloud - that really got people’s attention. Since that SoundCloud hit, he’s toured internationally, played opening sets for Madonna and - for this first album - recorded official collaborations with a variety of artists, from silk-voiced British star Craig David to underground hero Syd The Kid (of hip-hop collective Odd Future and soon-to-tour-here neo-soul band The Internet.) Her voice drifts through the dance-scape, like one of Celestin’s customised sounds.
Not all of the guests are vocalists. There’s also a collaboration with Canadian instrumental hip-hop combo BadBadNotGood, blending one of their organic rhythm tracks with another of Kaytranada’s patented synthscapes.
The album opens with high-hat and handclaps, a wobbly bass, and a synthesiser flapping around as though it’s trying to turn the sound system inside out. It immediately locates us on a dance floor; one where the contours seem to be shifting with almost every beat.
The overall mood of 99.9% is mellow, but not melancholy, and when it picks up it feels bright without being aggressive. While the guests all bring their individual personalities, it’s Celestin’s production that gives it coherence.
Songs featured: Track Uno, Together, Got It Good, You’re The One, Glowed Up, Weight Off, Breakdance Lesson.
Kaytranada's 99.9% world tour will be touching down 28th October at Studio, Auckland.
99.9% is available on XL Recordings.

Beyond The Bloodhounds by Adia Victoria
BODY:
Nick Bollinger reviews the Southern punk-blues of Adia Victoria.
EXTENDED BODY:
Nick Bollinger reviews the Southern punk-blues of Adia Victoria.
As the birthplace of the blues, America’s southern states have always had a romantic lure; ask anyone, from the Rolling Stones to Nick Cave. It might seem a whole lot less romantic, though, if it was where you actually came from – particularly if you were black and poor.
Adia Victoria – actually her first and middle names – is the daughter of a Trinidadian father and Philadelphia-born mother, and grew up in South Carolina, in the forbiddingly-named city of Spartanburg. On first listening, her music seems like the same kind of punk-soaked blues we’ve been hearing from southern-infatuated rockers for years. But when she sings about the South – as she does in a number of these songs - it is not some gothic south of the imagination, but an actual place. And, in the words of her song ‘Stuck In The South’, it’s southern hell.
The barely contained rage of ‘Stuck In The South’ would be hard to fabricate, no matter how much southern blues you had soaked up. It’s a rage born of prejudice and poverty. And that rage might be Adia Victoria’s major point of difference – whether the subject is society or sex - in a record that can sometimes rest on some fairly generic rock motifs.
In fact, Adia cites as two of her primary inspirations, Kurt Cobain and Fiona Apple: artists whose music never had anything to say about rock’s southern roots, but who certainly shared some of this record’s claustrophobic and paranoiac atmosphere.
A lot of the songs seem to be about surviving the direst of circumstances, though it can be hard to tell whether she’s singing from the time of slavery or the present day. The album’s title, Beyond The Bloodhounds, comes from a track called ‘And Then You Die’. Again it evokes the South, both past and present, quoting from the old gospel song and civil rights anthem ‘Keep Your Eyes On The Prize’.
The album has more musical variation than is obvious on first hearing, and my favourite comes right at the end. Titled ‘Mexico Blues', it is not strictly a blues, yet it’s certainly blue; a haunted road song with a melody that hovers between the minor and the major in a way that seems to start in Mississippi, heads south of the border yet winds up somewhere almost Oriental.
Songs featured: Dead Eyes, Stuck in the South, Head Rot, Invisible Hands, Mortimer’s Blues, And Then You Die, Mexico Blues.
Beyond The Bloodhounds is available on Atlantic Records.

EXTENDED BODY:
Nick Bollinger checks a new set of familiar sounds from Tom Petty's first band, Mudcrutch.
If records weren’t meant to seem as familiar as old friends, the first time you heard them, then Tom Petty obviously never got that memo.
Those squeezed-out Southern vowels, those fat, ringing guitar chords – it’s obviously Tom, right from the opening bars of this album, despite its different guise.
It was always hard to tell the difference between a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers record and one of his supposed solo recordings, which always featured most of the Heartbreakers anyway. And lately he’s added yet another identity while retaining that same instantly recognisable sound: Mudcrutch. That was the somewhat unappetising name of Petty’s first band, with which he first ventured from his native Florida to California, back in the early 70s, looking for fame and fortune. In fact, Mudcrutch split up before they ever made a record, though fortune and fame came soon enough with Petty’s next group, the Heartbreakers, which also included Mudcrutch members Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench. Just a few years ago, when it was looking like Petty had achieved everything he had set out to do and more, he got the notion to reform that unrecorded band. That didn’t take too much doing; as I say, Campbell and Tench were already on the payroll. Still, just those few cosmetic changes – old name, different drummer, second guitarist Tom Leadon and Petty on bass – were enough to revitalise things. The resulting album – simply titled Mudcrutch – was as enjoyable as anything the veteran had done in years; a mix of new Petty gems and a few country-rock classics which I assume were part of the original Mudcrutch repertoire. And it worked so well that he’s done it again.
Songs like these sound as though they have already existed for years, and certainly we’ve heard things very like them before, yet concrete similarities are elusive. It as though we have tuned to some parallel universe radio, where the 60s are still in full swing, the British invasion is underway and obscure American garage bands are scoring occasional hits.
One difference between this and the earlier Mudcrutch set is the absence this time of any cover songs, and that makes Mudcrutch 2 the slightly weaker album. What might have seemed at first like padding – a swampy romp through the Byrds’ ‘Lover Of The Bayou’ or the trucker anthem ‘Six Days On The Road’ – were the things you wouldn’t find on a Heartbreakers or Petty solo record, and helped create the sense of a band that had been cryogenically frozen for thirty years. Also, these were manifestly good songs, which made up for the fact that there were only eight new Petty originals in the set. Once again, Petty has come up with two thirds of the set, but this time he’s filled it out with originals from the other Mudcrutch members. And a song like Tom Leadon’s ‘Other Side Of The Mountain’ doesn’t sound stylistically out of place; it’s just not a great song, nor is it redeemed by a vocal that, after Petty’s inimitable tones, just sounds a bit characterless.
The most confident contribution comes from pianist Benmont Tench, who released his own solo album the year before last, and his Jerry Lee Lewis-like ‘Welcome To Hell’ sounds better than just an out-take.
But it’s another Petty song that Mudcrutch 2 finishes on, and again it’s familiar but new. ‘I ain’t gonna be hungry no more’ goes the refrain – which, after all these years and millions of record sales, has to be true. Yet on the best of these tracks Petty still sounds hungry, like an old coyote. It’s hard to know what keeps him that way, but it might ultimately be why he’s still this good.

Nick Bollinger steps to the dance-friendly debut of Canadian-Haitian DJ/producer Kaytranada.
Until recently, the name Kaytranada was one you were likely to come across only if you were paying close attention to the world of dance remixes. But the release of Kaytranada’s first full-length album proves he is an artist whose work is destined for the wider world.
Kaytranada is Louis Kevin Celestin, 23-year-old son of Haitian immigrants, living in Montreal. He’s been DJing, mixing and making his own recordings since his early teens. But it was a 2012 unofficial remix of Janet Jackson’s megahit ‘If’ – posted on SoundCloud - that really got people’s attention. Since that SoundCloud hit, he’s toured internationally, played opening sets for Madonna and - for this first album - recorded official collaborations with a variety of artists, from silk-voiced British star Craig David to underground hero Syd The Kid (of hip-hop collective Odd Future and soon-to-tour-here neo-soul band The Internet.) Her voice drifts through the dance-scape, like one of Celestin’s customised sounds.
Not all of the guests are vocalists. There’s also a collaboration with Canadian instrumental hip-hop combo BadBadNotGood, blending one of their organic rhythm tracks with another of Kaytranada’s patented synthscapes.
The album opens with high-hat and handclaps, a wobbly bass, and a synthesiser flapping around as though it’s trying to turn the sound system inside out. It immediately locates us on a dance floor; one where the contours seem to be shifting with almost every beat.
The overall mood of 99.9% is mellow, but not melancholy, and when it picks up it feels bright without being aggressive. While the guests all bring their individual personalities, it’s Celestin’s production that gives it coherence.
Songs featured: Track Uno, Together, Got It Good, You’re The One, Glowed Up, Weight Off, Breakdance Lesson.
Kaytranada's 99.9% world tour will be touching down 28th October at Studio, Auckland.
99.9% is available on XL Recordings.

Nick Bollinger reviews the Southern punk-blues of Adia Victoria.
As the birthplace of the blues, America’s southern states have always had a romantic lure; ask anyone, from the Rolling Stones to Nick Cave. It might seem a whole lot less romantic, though, if it was where you actually came from – particularly if you were black and poor.
Adia Victoria – actually her first and middle names – is the daughter of a Trinidadian father and Philadelphia-born mother, and grew up in South Carolina, in the forbiddingly-named city of Spartanburg. On first listening, her music seems like the same kind of punk-soaked blues we’ve been hearing from southern-infatuated rockers for years. But when she sings about the South – as she does in a number of these songs - it is not some gothic south of the imagination, but an actual place. And, in the words of her song ‘Stuck In The South’, it’s southern hell.
The barely contained rage of ‘Stuck In The South’ would be hard to fabricate, no matter how much southern blues you had soaked up. It’s a rage born of prejudice and poverty. And that rage might be Adia Victoria’s major point of difference – whether the subject is society or sex - in a record that can sometimes rest on some fairly generic rock motifs.
In fact, Adia cites as two of her primary inspirations, Kurt Cobain and Fiona Apple: artists whose music never had anything to say about rock’s southern roots, but who certainly shared some of this record’s claustrophobic and paranoiac atmosphere.
A lot of the songs seem to be about surviving the direst of circumstances, though it can be hard to tell whether she’s singing from the time of slavery or the present day. The album’s title, Beyond The Bloodhounds, comes from a track called ‘And Then You Die’. Again it evokes the South, both past and present, quoting from the old gospel song and civil rights anthem ‘Keep Your Eyes On The Prize’.
The album has more musical variation than is obvious on first hearing, and my favourite comes right at the end. Titled ‘Mexico Blues', it is not strictly a blues, yet it’s certainly blue; a haunted road song with a melody that hovers between the minor and the major in a way that seems to start in Mississippi, heads south of the border yet winds up somewhere almost Oriental.
Songs featured: Dead Eyes, Stuck in the South, Head Rot, Invisible Hands, Mortimer’s Blues, And Then You Die, Mexico Blues.
Beyond The Bloodhounds is available on Atlantic Records.

Nick Bollinger checks a new set of familiar sounds from Tom Petty's first band, Mudcrutch.
If records weren’t meant to seem as familiar as old friends, the first time you heard them, then Tom Petty obviously never got that memo.
Those squeezed-out Southern vowels, those fat, ringing guitar chords – it’s obviously Tom, right from the opening bars of this album, despite its different guise.
It was always hard to tell the difference between a Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers record and one of his supposed solo recordings, which always featured most of the Heartbreakers anyway. And lately he’s added yet another identity while retaining that same instantly recognisable sound: Mudcrutch. That was the somewhat unappetising name of Petty’s first band, with which he first ventured from his native Florida to California, back in the early 70s, looking for fame and fortune. In fact, Mudcrutch split up before they ever made a record, though fortune and fame came soon enough with Petty’s next group, the Heartbreakers, which also included Mudcrutch members Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench. Just a few years ago, when it was looking like Petty had achieved everything he had set out to do and more, he got the notion to reform that unrecorded band. That didn’t take too much doing; as I say, Campbell and Tench were already on the payroll. Still, just those few cosmetic changes – old name, different drummer, second guitarist Tom Leadon and Petty on bass – were enough to revitalise things. The resulting album – simply titled Mudcrutch – was as enjoyable as anything the veteran had done in years; a mix of new Petty gems and a few country-rock classics which I assume were part of the original Mudcrutch repertoire. And it worked so well that he’s done it again.
Songs like these sound as though they have already existed for years, and certainly we’ve heard things very like them before, yet concrete similarities are elusive. It as though we have tuned to some parallel universe radio, where the 60s are still in full swing, the British invasion is underway and obscure American garage bands are scoring occasional hits.
One difference between this and the earlier Mudcrutch set is the absence this time of any cover songs, and that makes Mudcrutch 2 the slightly weaker album. What might have seemed at first like padding – a swampy romp through the Byrds’ ‘Lover Of The Bayou’ or the trucker anthem ‘Six Days On The Road’ – were the things you wouldn’t find on a Heartbreakers or Petty solo record, and helped create the sense of a band that had been cryogenically frozen for thirty years. Also, these were manifestly good songs, which made up for the fact that there were only eight new Petty originals in the set. Once again, Petty has come up with two thirds of the set, but this time he’s filled it out with originals from the other Mudcrutch members. And a song like Tom Leadon’s ‘Other Side Of The Mountain’ doesn’t sound stylistically out of place; it’s just not a great song, nor is it redeemed by a vocal that, after Petty’s inimitable tones, just sounds a bit characterless.
The most confident contribution comes from pianist Benmont Tench, who released his own solo album the year before last, and his Jerry Lee Lewis-like ‘Welcome To Hell’ sounds better than just an out-take.
But it’s another Petty song that Mudcrutch 2 finishes on, and again it’s familiar but new. ‘I ain’t gonna be hungry no more’ goes the refrain – which, after all these years and millions of record sales, has to be true. Yet on the best of these tracks Petty still sounds hungry, like an old coyote. It’s hard to know what keeps him that way, but it might ultimately be why he’s still this good.
