title: Waitangi Soda Springs alum dosing – bioavailability of aluminium 2015

authors: Ling, Nicholas

abstract: Continuous alum dosing of the Waitangi Soda Springs at Lake Rotoehu commenced in 2010 to reduce inflows of dissolved reactive phosphorus to Lake Rotoehu. Analyses of bioaccumulation in the tissues of kōura and goldfish from Lake Rotoehu were undertaken on animals collected in November 2015 to determine the bioavailability and bioaccumulation of aluminium to satisfy annual resource consent conditions 11.7 and 11.8 of resource consent 65966. Comparative analyses were undertaken on goldfish collected from Lake Rotorua and compared to values obtained from goldfish and kōura collected from Lakes Rotoehu, Rotorua and Rotoiti in 2013. Lake Rotoehu kōura and goldfish showed slightly elevated aluminium concentrations in the gills indicating enhanced exposure to aluminium as a result of alum discharge from the Waitangi Soda Springs but little evidence for significant bioaccumulation in tissues.

title: TATAU: A History of Sāmoan Tattooing [Book review]

authors: McCormack, Fiona

abstract: This book is a homage to tatau, honouring its deep socio-political significance and central mediating role in Sāmoan culture, past and present. As much as this is a social anthropological account, however, it is also a paean to tatau as a high art form, to the tufuga ta tatau who create these remarkably beautiful marks on the skin as well as the contemporary artists who wear and celebrate them. Indeed, many of the images reproduced in the book have adorned the walls of art galleries in and beyond Oceania.

title: Whakahokia te reo ki tōna taioretanga: He rautaki reo mō Waikato-Tainui

authors: Roa, Raukura

subjects: Whakaora reo

abstract: Ko te kaupapa o tēnei pepa, ko te whakatakoto i tētehi mahere rautaki hei whakakaha, hei whakapakari i te reo Māori o te iwi o Waikato-Tainui. Ehara tēnei i te pepa wetewete i te rautaki whakaora reo, ehara hoki i te pepa tātari i ngā rautaki whakaora reo o te ao. Engari ia, he pepa whakatakoto i ōku whakaaro mō tētehi huarahi e ora ai te reo o Waikato-Tainui. Kei te rārangi whakapuakanga ētehi rauemi i toro atu ai au, heoi, kāore i āta tātarihia mō tēnei pepa. Nō reira, e rima ngā wāhanga o tēnei pepa. Ko te wāhanga tuatahi, he whakakaupapa i tēnei rautaki. Ko te wāhanga tuarua, he whakamārama i ngā whakahaeretanga o te iwi. Ko te wāhanga tuatoru, he whakatakoto i ngā whāinga o te rautaki. Ko te wāhanga tuawhā, he whakatakoto i te mahere e tutuki ai ngā whāinga o te rautaki. Ka mutu he whakatakoto whakaaro atu anō kāore i whakauru ki roto i te rautaki.
