andrew.ott@forsythbarr.co.nz
The state of global geopolitics is rapidly shifting - old alliances are strained to breaking point and nationalism is on the rise. Whether it's Brexit or America first, international terms of trade are being rewritten and the ripples are felt across the globe. Our own Andrew Ott is an expert on the financial markets and an Investment advisor for Forsyth Barr - Andrew cautions " New Zealand is not immune from what's happening overseas". This is a must hear talk.

Tackling the turtle threat - it's real.
Jun 22, 2018
donnamoot1@gmail.com
Donna usually has 80 to 90 turtles at home depending on her ability to rehouse the critters. Turtles live for 50 plus years and the problem is that as pets they tend to out live their owners. She's calling for a ban on turtle breeding for the pet industry in New Zealand - of particular concern the Red -eared Slider turtle. Donna's winter power bill gets up to a thousand dollars a month and she's paying that herself. Its the cost of caring for turtles and their welfare when others have lost interest. |

From the pigs mouth - author and retired police detective tells all.
Aug 10, 2018
Al LesterAl Lester was born in Nelson, the second youngest of four children. As a young man, he played rugby, golf, softball and basketball, all at representative level. He even clocked up 125 skydives before moving on to his adult life. After eight years in banking, Al jumped ship and, in 1985, joined the New Zealand Police. At a solid 6'4", perhaps he was better suited to the latter role. He was drawn to the investigation side of policing and spent 28 years working in the Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB) as a detective and detective sergeant. Al handed in his handcuffs at age 55, while still in possession of his sense of humour and most of his marbles. Al is also the author of nine books of hunting yarns and is still an avid hunter with a love of the mountains and a liking for a cold beer. He lives in Christchurch. |

Free Speech
Sep 14, 2018 7:00 AM
Dr Duncan Webb MP for Christchurch Central
Dr Webb, a former Professor of Law, believes the law around hate speech and free speech is in need of review.
He contends that free speech in New Zealand is something of a myth and argues that restraints around what people can say are legion. He believes there needs to be clearer legislation, as well as understanding, around the difference between speech that encourages an exchange of ideas, vs speech that is solely intended to distress or offend. |

UC Community Engagement hub and the visit from Florida students
Sep 28, 2018
Since its founding in 1873, the University of Canterbury has been a significant contributor to the cultural, economic, and intellectual life of Christchurch, New Zealand, and the world. This was especially evident following the devastating earthquakes of 2010 and 2011 when over 9,000 students provided vital assistance throughout the city in the form of the Student Volunteer Army. They exemplified our vision of tangata tu tangata ora, people prepared to make a difference. Following the earthquakes, UC staff and students collectively determined that the SVA ethos should become a formal part of the University’s future direction. This aligns with the need that essential services in New Zealand (firefighters, jurors, school boards of trustees, surf lifesavers, etc.) have for the next generation to be as generous with their time as previous ones. As a result, UC’s new Graduate Profile has four attributes that all students will have along with their degrees: bi-cultural competence, community engagement, global awareness, and innovation. Billy will be speaking to us about the visit this year of a number of students from Florida USA |

NEUROPLASTICITY: WHY IT’S A GAME-CHANGER
Nov 02, 2018 7:00 AM
Neuroplasticity - the ability of the brain to make new neural pathways given the right stimulus - isn’t new, our brains have always been plastic, it’s just taken us a while to realise it. And now that we’re up with play, every Tim, Dick and Harry is jumping on the proverbial bandwagon. So, what’s the big deal? In this entertaining presentation, Tim Webster unpacks some of the science behind neuroplasticity and explains the opportunities and challenges it presents.
