Keeping track of time
BODY:
Kevin Karney is an expert in cosmology and has a special interest in timekeeping and the art and science of sundials who has been in New Zealand on a lecture tour sponsored by the Australian and New Zealand Associations of Decorative & Fine Arts.In an age where every second is counted and people's lives run to tight schedules framed by time, what is the story behind how humans began keeping track of time?
EXTENDED BODY:
In 2016 our lives run to tight schedules in which every second counts and is counted. But how and when did humans begin to keep time?
According to Karney, archaeological sites reveal that ancient people were more concerned with telling the time of the year than the time of the day. Agriculture (and peoples’ livelihoods) revolved around the changing seasons – equinoxes, solstices - which were marked by feasts and sacrifices.
Until medieval times, sundials measured 12 hours between sunrise and sunset so what was known as ‘an hour’ varied in length depending on the time of the year.
Kevin says it wasn’t until almost the Renaissance that sundials became clever enough to measure ‘common hours’ (hours of equal length) when the Arabs discovered that if the shadow-caster of the sundial was parallel to the earth’s axis a sundial could give equal-length hours (common hours).
Modern timekeeping was ushered in with the arrival of pendulum clocks. A blind, and very old, Galileo described the first pendulum clock to his son in in 1630. His son drew a picture of it from which Dutchman Christiaan Huygens later developed the first pendulum clock – in 1656.
These first clocks were extremely inaccurate. “If you told the time to within half an hour with one of those you were doing well” says Karney.
The rise of international trade – and the growing importance of precise navigation – brought about the development of ‘mean time’ (basically, the time told by the stars).
“If you wanted to get your ship from A to B and not run up on rocks, you had to work out longitude very carefully, and to tell longitude you had to have very accurate time.”
It turns out hourglasses were very important for mariners, too. Sailors would toss a log over the back of a ship tied on to a bit of knotted rope. The bit of rope would run out and the sailor holding the rope would count the number of knots that passed through his fingers in 30 seconds - and that was the speed of the ship. This is why ships’ speeds are still measured in knots.
Before time zones were introduced in late 19th century, ‘mean time’ was ‘local mean time’ established by the sun hours of particular places. “The time in Auckland would be different from the time in Dunedin because you’re on different longitudes.”
New Zealand was the first country in the world to introduce ‘national mean time’, says Karney, prompted by a new telegraph cable crossing Cook Strait in 1866. To save confusion, the time in Wellington became ‘New Zealand Mean Time’.
From 1880, Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) became the national standard for the world. Then in 1971 (the much more accurate) atomic time was adopted in the internationally-accepted Co-ordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is now distributed by a bureau in Paris which co-ordinates the world’s atomic clocks.
Karney says that although most of us really don’t need to tell the time with great accuracy, we are now inescapably trapped by time, even when we drive. “You can’t drive your car without a GPS device – and that of course uses exquisite timing from three satellites and triangulation.”

EXTENDED BODY:
Having a child diagnosed with a disability is a life-changing and often isolating experience.
Wellington high school teacher Tessa Prebble is trying to make the experience easier on parents with her podcast The One in A Million Baby.
In Tessa's podcast, parents of children with severe disabilities who share their experiences and insights of how best to cope.
The One in A Million Baby was Tessa's response to her experience with her daughter Eva, who was born in April 2014.
“Within a couple of days, they discovered she was blind, she was deaf – profoundly in both – she had low muscle tone, she had brain and heart abnormalities. They came up with a working diagnosis of CHARGE syndrome, which is another genetic condition that affects multiple areas of the body.”
Tessa says she did not cope well with that diagnosis.
Social workers and nurses advised her to go out and meet other parents of children with special needs, but she says she resisted the idea strongly at first.
“I didn’t want to be part of that club, for a start. I didn’t want to be in this new world… Because of those feelings of not wanting to be there I felt ashamed and I didn’t want to meet those parents because I thought ‘They’ll be full of acceptance and love and they won’t understand where I’m coming from’."
The podcast originated as an attempt to talk to herself as she was in those first couple of weeks after Eva was born – the ‘gap’ between “when the diagnosis comes in and you’re terrified and feeling all the feelings and when you’re ready to meet other parents” Tessa says.
She observes that many parents find it too confronting to see older children or adults with their child’s condition so online advice can be a comfort. The podcast format allows people to receive information and feel less alone without actively going out and meeting people before they are ready to.
“I wanted to be able to share stories, show parents they weren’t alone, show parents that whatever they were feeling it was normal and someone else had felt that way.”
Most parents featured in the podcast have talked about the importance of allowing themselves time to mourn and honour the loss of hopes they had not just their children's lives, but for their own lives, she says.
“It’s really important to allow yourself time to grieve for the child or for the life you thought you were going to have. ‘Cause the reality is, it’s not just about you seeing the child and their life not being quite what you thought, but it’s about your life being not quite what you thought.”
What does she recommend family and friends ‘not’ say to a parent of a special needs child?
“Everyone is going to want different things to be said to them. For me personally, I didn’t want to hear ‘Everything happens for a reason’, I didn’t want to hear “God only gives you as much as you can handle’ because I certainly didn’t feel like I could handle it. I also didn’t want to hear how strong I was and that I’d be fine because that felt like people were excusing themselves from worry."
Tessa says parents can be protective of special needs children for good reason, but it is a good idea to teach family and friends how to feed and babysit their child so that it’s not “all on them”.
She also advises parents to see a couples counsellor pre-emptively as having a disabled child can take a huge toll on a relationship.
“Anyone who has gone through a grieving process knows that their grief doesn’t look like someone else’s grief.”

'Clear link' between concussion and cognitive problems
BODY:
New research shows a clear link between concussion and cognitive difficulties in rugby players later in life. The study has been published in the online journal Sports Medicine. And was carried out by AUT in partnership with New Zealand Rugby, and funded by World Rugby. Dr Alice Theadom is a senior lecturer, and deputy director of AUT's National Institute for Stroke and Applied Neurosciences.
EXTENDED BODY:
A New Zealand study has found support for a clear link between concussion and cognitive difficulties in rugby players later in life.
The study, published in online journal Sports Medicine, was carried out by AUT in partnership with New Zealand Rugby, and funded by World Rugby.
AUT lecturer and National Institute for Stroke and Applied Neurosciences deputy director Alice Theadom said the study revealed a previously unknown link between concussion and long-term cognitive effects.
"Now this research showed that there is a clear link, and so now that really points us in the direction that we do need to be doing far more work in this area, and we need to understand the links much more clearly - but obviously we do need to be aware that this is a different period of rugby, and there have been a lot of changes since then."
She said the study did not look specifically at dementia, and instead looked at effects on different areas of cognitive functioning.
It looked at 366 elite and community rugby players, and used cricket and hockey players as a non-contact sport control group, and found those in the two rugby groups suffered more concussions than the non-contact group.
"So the elite and the community rugby players performed worse in terms of what we call cognitive flexibility, which is where people have to switch quickly between tasks and also executive functioning, which is about making decisions and planning and organising activities."
She said the elite group also had more difficulty in complex attention tasks and processing information than the non-contact groups, but there was not much difference between the elite and community rugby players.
"But when we looked at the number of concussions people experience over their careers, 85 percent of the elite group experienced at least one concussion, 77 percent of the community athletes experienced at least one concussion and 23 percent of the non-contact athletes experienced at least one concussion."
This made progress on a previous study that delivered no conclusive findings, with the difference being the severity of the concussion studied and the length of time between injury and cognitive effect. she said.
"So these are previously what we would have considered to be relatively minor injuries, and we've been looking at the effects much longer and further down the line, so the fact that we saw any effect at all I think is certainly notable," Prof Theadom said.
"Before we conducted this study we didn't actually know if there were any long-term effects or not."
Meanwhile, in a bid to further study concussions in community sport, Otago's provincial rugby players will from this week wear an electronic microchip behind their ears during all home matches to measure the forces at play with head knocks.
The device, no bigger than a $2 coin, was the culmination of a two-year partnership between the University of Otago, which would conduct ground-breaking research into rugby-related concussions, and Auckland company CSx.
With the support of New Zealand Rugby, all 23 Otago players will wear the device for the first time in Thursday's home match against Wellington.
Ultimately, researchers from Otago's South Island brain injury group will seek to examine the relationship between head impacts and neck strength.

The history of teenagers in New Zealand
BODY:
Teenagers are one of the most talked about, worried about, and analysed groups in modern NZ society. Was it always this way? Historian Grant Morris of Victoria University looks at teenagers in history.
EXTENDED BODY:
Teenagers are one of the most talked about, worried about and analysed groups in modern NZ society.
But was it always this way? What role have teenagers played in our nation's history?
Historian Grant Morris of Victoria University has studied the subject.
The word 'teenager' is a 20th century invention, he says, and originated overseas. In New Zealand the word started to be used around the middle of last century.
In the 19th century you were either a child or an adult. Children were dependent on their parents, although they often worked, and adults were expected to work and raise families.
The vast majority of 13 to 19 year olds, known commonly as youths, didn't attend school or tertiary study.
Boys would often help out with farm work and girls with domestic work; others worked in industry. Working age was from age 12; some of this work was paid, some of it not.
In Maori society there was an expectation that once someone reached puberty, they would effectively become an adult and work.
Teenagers didn't exist in colonial times and this situation did not change markedly until secondary schooling became more common during the early 20th century and a school leaving age was introduced and gradually raised.
Teenage males served in World War I and World War II despite the recruitment focus being on men aged over 20.
But the teenager we know today emerged after World War II
As New Zealand became more prosperous, and the influence of the United States grew, language, dress and cultural tastes developed that were particular to this group. And they came to be seen as a distinct group.
Bodgies, widgies, boy racers, skaties and homies are all examples of teenage sub-groups since the 1950s. And from the start teenagers have shown rebellious tendencies which has caused older generations to fret.
The Mazengarb Report on juvenile delinquency in Lower Hutt, published in 1954, caused a moral panic at the time as it revealed teenagers were drinking and having sex.
Subsequent research, rightly or wrongly, strongly associated teenagers with problem drinking, illegal drug use, drink driving and unsafe sex.
“Throughout our history teenagers are first ignored as a distinct group, and then they tend to be recognised only as a group – rather than as individuals,” Mr Morris says.

'Dr Martin Couney's infant incubator' facility was staffed by nurses in starched white uniforms and if you paid a quarter, you could see the babies in their incubators. Journalist Claire Prentice has been following the story and tracked down some of those babies, now in their 70s, 80s and 90s, who were put in the show. She discovers how Dr Couney brought the incubator to prominence in the USA through World's Fairs and amusement parks, and explores how a man who was shunned by the medical establishment changed attitudes to premature babies and saved countless lives.
