title: Synthesis and structure of the amidate-bridged platinum-uranium bimetallic complex [Pt{NC(O)CH₂CH₂}₂(PPh₃)₂].UO₂(NO₃)₂

authors: Henderson, William

subjects: crystal structures

abstract: The reaction of the β-propiolactam-derived platinum(II) amidate complex [Pt{NC(O)CH₂CH₂}₂(PPh₃)₂]with uranyl nitrate gives the coordination complex [Pt{NC(O)CH₂CH₂}₂(PPh₃)₂].UO₂(NO₃)₂, which was characterised by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The lactam carbonyl groups are coordinated to the linear uranyl group, forming an eight-membered ring, with the uranium also having two bidentate nitrates, completing a hexagonal bipyramidal coordination geometry. The platinum and uranium coordination planes are almost perpendicular, at an angle of 85.4(1)°.

title: Palynology, vegetation and climate of the Waikato lowlands, North Island, New Zealand, since c. 18,000 years ago

authors: Newnham, Rewi M.

subjects: Waikato

abstract: The vegetational and climatic history of the Waikato lowlands during the last c. 18,000 years is inferred from the palynology of sediment cores from Lakes Rotomanuka, Rotokauri, and Okoroire. Intra- and inter-lake correlations were aided by multiple tephra layers interbedded with the lake sediments. The detailed chronological resolution given by these tephra sequences shows that late glacial-post glacial vegetational and climatic changes were nearly simultaneous throughout the Waikato lowlands.

title: Romeo and Tusi: An eclectically musical Samoan/Māori Romeo and Juliet from Aotearoa/New Zealand

authors: Houlahan, Mark

subjects: Romeo and Tusi

abstract: Is there a distinctive New Zealand Shakespeare? What ‘new’ approaches to Shakespeare have originated from New Zealand? This article explores the issue by contextualising a version of Romeo and Juliet staged successfully throughout New Zealand in the late 1990s. The production is set against the background of the history of Shakespeare in New Zealand, which goes back to the arrival of Captain Cook on the Endeavour in 1769.

Pacific Underground's Romeo and Tusi sought a looser and more populist kind of Shakespeare performance. They used the conceit of rehearsing the play at high school, where a Māori Romeo and a Samoan Juliet cross community boundaries. Drawing on several music genres, and performing outdoors, they generated a Shakespeare that audiences from a diverse range of ethnic and cultural communities could enjoy.
