All of these ceremonies were fantastic and it was awesome to be a part of recognising the success of our students. Well done to our graduates! Recap on my B.Comm (Ag) degree: • My first memories of the halls was a quiet game of BYC which ended in a compound dislocation to a boy’s toe (yes, really). • My first mgmt. report for Tony Bywater got 37%...Don’t stress freshers, you’ll get the hang of it!

I hope you’ve all had a relaxing wee break and actually did the assignments you told yourself you were going to do. Good luck to those who are continuing their studies and best wishes to the Graduates as you head off to your new ventures in life.

CAN HELP

Making Lincs It’s been a learning curve since starting in November last year, especially when there were a limited number of students on campus. I felt my role didn’t really start until first week of semester, but it was good having the time to prepare myself as much as possible and meet the Lincoln Uni staff. I was fortunate to have some awesome students who put their hand up to volunteer to be a part of the LincMe Up program again this year. There were less numbers the second time around however, we still had a laugh at the Meet and Greet, learning about each other and hearing stories of the craziest thing they have ever done. Our final meeting will be at the beginning of term two. I have big plans for Semester two, so students out there, who would like show new students the ropes or students who would like to learn more about Lincoln Uni through the eyes of the experienced, then please let me know! Another privilege I have been a part of is the Student Rep. process. Unfortunately, not all classes have Student Reps, but I really want to push for more in Semester two. I have been receiving all sorts of feedback both positive comments and some learning edges. The biggest discussion has been putting resources on LEARN. My belief is all students have the right to learn in different forums and not just in a lecture room. Obviously, I don’t expect ALL learning should be handed out on a silver platter but we are individuals, therefore as individuals we live different lives, see things differently, hear things differently and learn things differently. On another note, we have some awesome lecturers out there who go that extra mile, are approachable and really make lectures a place to be inspired. Keep the feedback coming!!!

At some point you may come across some troubles with your lectures, or you might get sick and miss some assessments, or need some flatting or budgeting advice. LUSA are the ones to help you out when something less than awesome happens during your academic years. LUSA’s SAS Service is seperate from the University, and 100% confidential. If you don’t feel comfortable contacting a Lecturer, Student Rep or are unsure of the best course of action, we can help! Contact student.support@lusa.org.nz or visit us at LUSA HQ.

Other news…

I have been enjoying students dropping in for visits and chatting about everything and anything, from Hardships, Flatting and general information. I have also been enjoying getting involved with the Thursday in Black campaign, LiveWell and getting the opportunity to meet other people in similar roles from other Universities and Institutions.

Looking forward to seeing what Term 2 brings.

Our Guides We are very fortunate to have our amazing guides. Be sure to say “Hi” if you see them around! Kathy Kise – PhD Student Researcher My research involves ‘following’ how people and things produce subjective wellbeing (or quality of life) at Lincoln University. I assist with meditation because it is one of the most accessible tools we have as human beings to create an internal environment capable of creating and sustaining quality of life. Tilak Raj – Research Assistant My name is Tilak Raj, Ph.D. Student and Yoga Teacher from India. Researching yoga to enhance athletic performance. Teaching Guided Meditation and Breathing techniques in Rose Room on Friday afternoon. Susan Young – PhD Student Researcher Susan Young is a new PhD student from Canada who researches and writes about spirituality and wellness. She loves using pen and paper to journal, doodle and write her way out of everyday stress. Dr Jackie Blunt – Student Health Doctor

Dr Jackie Blunt teaches Qigong as a moving meditation, great for relaxing and getting the body healthy and supple at the same time. She has been teaching qigong for over a decade and finds it awesome for improving mental and physical health. Yuan Gong Qigong will be happening again Monday 12:30-1pm from May 2nd for 3 weeks in the Chill Out Zone, aka the Rose room. Mohini Sukhapure I take breathing and relaxation sessions in the Rose Room. “Breathing” is one of the most vital activity for bodily functions, but we do not use our lungs to its fullest capacity. Breathing exercises can enhance this. I also do visualization exercise which helps one relax and channel the energy in the right direction.

See next page for more details. Throughout the week there will be bandannas on sale around campus, with all funds going to CanTeen. Caclin Issue 3 | 19

I know too many people that have been affected by cancer! Friends, family, all sorts of loved ones… the list goes on. It hurts me to watch my loved ones live with cancer, but I know that in the end what I’m feeling is nothing compared to what they are enduring. So, I’ve decided to shave my head in solidarity with young people coping with cancer and donate my proceeds to CanTeen, a non-profit that helps young people cope with cancer. People our age should be living the time of our lives, not struggling with this horrible disease. Shaving my head is nothing compared to what they have to go through on a daily basis, and if I can do this to help just that little bit, then that’s what I’m going to do. I’d like to encourage anyone else to join in and commit to shave on this day, too. Wednesday 18th May

Have you got an old smart phone lying around at home that you want to get rid of? Well, if you do make sure to bring it along to Live Well Week! We will be giving your unused phones a second life by supporting a charity called Rainforest Connection. This charity works to prevent illegal logging in some of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most precious rainforests. So how does it work? They take your unused smart phone, rewire it and then attach it to a solar panel device. These devices are attached to trees around the rainforest and as soon as the noise of a chainsaw is detected a text is sent to the nearest ranger. The ranger can then go and shut the logging operation down, protecting the rainforest one tree at a time. A collection bin will be set up outside the library, so please bring your old phones a long and help make a difference!

Student Loans & Overseas Adventures...

Caclin Issue 3 | 22

PLANNING ON TRAVELLING OR LIVING OVERSEAS? Well, don’t forget about your Student Loan. Interest is generally charged on your student loan if you go overseas for 6 months or more, so it’s important to keep on top of your loan.

I’M GOING OVERSEAS FOR LESS THAN 6 MONTHS Your loan will remain interest-free if you’re going overseas for about 6 months and you’ve have been living in New Zealand for at least 6 months prior to leaving. You’ll still see interest being applied but this is automatically written off. NOTE: If you travel overseas for less than 6 months on a regular basis, your loan will remain interest-free as long you’re back in New Zealand for 32 days or more before you leave again.

I’M GOING OVERSEAS FOR 6 MONTHS OR MORE You will need to let the IRD know if you’re going to be overseas for (about 6 months or more. The easiest way to do this, if you also want to apply for a repayment holiday, is to complete the form in your myIR Secure Online Services account. •

•

Otherwise send IRD secure mail through your myIR account or call us on 0800377778 (+64 3 951 2020 from overseas). You’ll need to include: •

Your departure date

•

How long you intend to be away, and

•

Any repayment holiday information.

You’ll become an overseas-based borrower if you’ll be overseas for about 6 months or more. This means you’ll have different repayment obligations and your loan will no longer be interest-free. NOTE: Interest applies to your student loan from the day after you leave New Zealand.

Nobody wants to hold back on Easter celebrations, but we all feel the familiar slump by the time we head back to the books. Here I have 6 reasons why you should consider detoxing after your annual Easter binge, so you can bounce back the way the Easter Bunny bounced on in to your lives!

for herbal teas, like ginger, chamomile or peppermint, as herbal tea ‘aids in hydration and offers an abundance of health promoting effects’. Coffee is dehydrating and robs your body of essential minerals. Oh, beloved coffee...why so evil?! Hydration is essential for good health and detoxification. Drinking at least two litres of water each day, will aid your body to cleanse, alkalise and flush out toxins! (and Christchurch water is the best in the world, I say!) Add the juice of half a lemon to a cup of warm water first thing in the morning for the perfect way to wake up and refresh. I’m only just getting used to this new routine of having this daily...a habit takes twenty

Lethargic Liver The liver is the first line in our body’s natural detoxification process. It regulates you fat, hormones, digestion and circulation by filtering all the good stuff we eat and drink, and rejecting the crap. Pretty

amazing really. And during Easter, I’m pretty sure this ratio heavily favoured the junk and alcohol! My poor liver was working hard...

Did you

know a build up of too many toxins from alcohol and junk food means your liver can become blocked, fatty or bloated. The result? You will feel: sluggish, tired, may gain weight, suffer headaches, have bad digestion i.e gas, and bad skin. Argh! I know I did feel very sluggish un-packing and getting ready to head back to work. So, make sure you get stuck into fresh, nature giving foods, which keeps your liver clean and healthy, and even helps restore all

days to form FYI.

Too much Sugar!

Your blood-sugar levels are the first to suffer from too much chocolate. Sugary junk food gives you a ‘hit’, which is a spike in energy, but it won’t last long. Ever wondered why you’re so lethargic by the end of Easter Sunday and you didn’t drink? It’s because these sharp spikes are quickly followed by sharp dips. These dips also result in being more

Leafy greens, fresh fruits, broccoli, kale, all great choices.

Zits! Find yourself developing extra pimples or dry skin after Easter? Your body sweats as a way to get rid of toxins, so the more chocolate you’re eating the more toxins make their way to your skin. Sweating through exercise is a Caclin Issue 3 | 27

great way to rid your body of these toxins but why not reverse these effects by cutting out the bad stuff too. Thats what I’ll be doing over the next few weeks - I’m going to miss you Mr. Big Mac!

Bad Breath Some sugars found in junk food fuel the bacteria in your mouth. This not only results in bad breath, but it can end up building thick layers of plaque on your teeth and gums which means even worse breath and a range of oral diseases! Do yourself and those around you a favour by following your Easter chocolate binge with a few weeks of completely healthy eating to get your breath fresh again and save a trip to the dreaded dentist!

Killer Kidneys Alcohol might not be a traditional part of Easter indulgences, but they’re a common part of Kiwi celebrations. This, along with extra sugar and refined carbs, puts enormous pressure on your kidneys making it much harder for them to do their job and remove the toxins from your blood. Did you know, on average, kidneys process about 200 litres of blood and produce about the same amount of urine each day?! I’m going to give these hard-working organs a chance by only feeding my body healthy, nutritious foods, so fewer toxins enter the tank which means my kidneys can get rid of them much faster. So, I’m going to ‘cut the crap’ and the late nights and start implementing these small changes by putting them into my daily routine...whose with me?!...guys?

REVIEW: THE DUNSTAN CREEK SÉANCE

What really did happen at Dunstan Creek?

Some years ago noted occultists Suzanne & Arthur Bishop were called in by the Collins family of Cashmere to investigate paranormal activity in their home...

Suzanne and Arthur can’t help what unfolds next and the audience is willing it on with captive anticipation. They go in and out of character between themselves and a couple from the gold rush era (Rose and Ben) and from here on out is when you really start to grip onto the edge of your seats.

Based on real life accounts of early New Zealand hauntings, this spine chilling production will make you question every shadow and sleep with the lights on!

WARNING: Show contains paranormal activity and is not suitable for those with a nervous disposition.

As you walk to your seats through the hallway, past old trinkets and mysterious figures in photos, you know this isn’t going to be any ordinary theatre performance. Occultists Susanne and Arthur Bishop (Lizzie Tollemache and David Ladderman) are there to launch their new book “Ghosts of the Gold Rush Hauntings of Central Otago”.

The Dunstan Creek Séance: Written by, & featuring: Lizzie Tollemache & David Ladderman Directed by: Daniel Pengelly In the Pub Charity Studio, The Forge at The Court

Arthur has a slight nervous disposition, reading from his cue cards and Susanne keeps the presentation flowing with her calm smoky voice with clicks of the slide projector.

SPAM

No, this is not an April fool’s article. SPAM is very much a security threat, a global one, and the threat should not be taken lightly.

PHISHING & SPAM Phishing and SPAM cost individuals and organisations significant amounts of real money. A recent article estimated USD$71billion annually for the US alone! There is so much SPAM about, purely and simply because organised criminals make money from it! • • •

Identity Theft Email Address Spoofing Hoax or Ghosting

These are very real and there are consequences, real consequences if you fall prey to these traps. This is fraud and it is a crime. That does not mean it doesn’t happen. It’s a crime because it does happen and it’s a global threat. Check out the global SPAM map.

Think Twice If you are invited to enter details, ANY DETAILS, think twice about doing so. No one deserves to have their home burgled and equally, no one deserves to have their identity compromised, online or actual! If you are looking for services online, and let’s face it there’s simply no avoiding it today. Do your homework BEFORE you provide ANY details, that even includes an email address! Active email addresses are worth money to the wrong people. If you are offered a deal which is last chance, last minute, best price, buy now… do some homework. Ask others, google it, check their online presence, phone first, check with your IT support team. But if you have any doubts DO NOTHING, it is better to be safe than sorry.

We’re not talking about the Monty Python skit ‘SPAM SPAM SPAM sausages and SPAM’, rather, the aggravating a flood of unsolicited messages that clog the internet and increasingly our mailboxes and cell phones as there’s instant messaging SPAM too. Depending on which source you view, SPAM generally out strips actual email by at least 10:1. That doesn’t sound too bad, however trying to identify and filter valid email from SPAM continues to get more complicated, especially given it’s volume, whic continually increases. If you receive an email, and you do not know the sender, or even if you do know where it’s from but you’re not expecting it, be suspicious, irrespective of whether it is to either a private or business email address. Odds are it’s not legit. The New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs have great resources available if you want NZ specifics, as well as more information on avoiding SPAM. An email with attachments or invites to click links to websites should by default be considered suspect unless you are 100% positive that they are valid (like links in hub articles). But simply because you may have received safe messages from a person or business previously, it is not a sufficient basis to say all their messages will be AOK. There are options for sharing files and all of us here at Lincoln have access to OneDrive for Business or the Lincoln Dropbox service. There are many options. If you are unsure ask ITHelp.

This article refers to an issue we see regularly, where you are advised by your friendly IT crew that your email or network account will expire unless you do this…. DON’T DO IT! To quote the article:

“In case you think phishing and other web scams and frauds are not really serious but just a nuisance, then a browse (courtesy of Google) of past cases makes chilling reading.” “In 2006 a research group concluded internet fraud cost the UK economy £150million a year, with the average victim losing £31,000” There are quite a few things you can do to isolate the fallout from identity theft; • • •

Have different complex passwords for each service. Use two factor authentication where it is available Keep your antivirus up to date

While these are real things you can and should do the single best thing you can do is not reply to messages you are not 100% sure of. Regards, Lincoln University IT Team.

As seen on TV3’s Chopper’s Republic of Anzakistan and 7 Days. After taking the former countries of New Zealand and Australia, throwing out the shit bits, and creating the world’s newest superpower Anzakistan, Chopper is back and ready to lay down the law.

The world lost one of the greatest musician’s when Jimi Hendrix died in 1970. It was a legacy that was far too short but made an indelible mark in music and popular culture. Many musicians have followed him. Many have tried to copy his unique style and every guitarist in the world dreams of emulating his talent. There is only one man in this world to truly match this legacy – Randy Hansen.

Burgers

Once considered being a quintessential meal for Americans, the burger has become part of a daily food habit. Burgers are are ready to eat, easy to get and can be eaten while working! Here are a few things you may have not known about the faithful burger:

‘Burger’ is actually a shortened name. The actual name is Hamburger. The name Hamburger was derived from Hamburg steaks that were introduced to the US by German immigrants.

In America alone, 50 billion burgers are eaten in one single year! Thats a lot of burgers!

One of the most expensive burgers to ever be made & sold, was the ‘FleurBurger5000’. This thing was made from black truffles, foie gras and Kobe beef. The burger was served along with a bottle of Chateau Petrus, 1990. It was sold in Las Vegas’ Fleur de Lys. Can you guess the price? It was a staggering $5,000USD for one burger!

How big was the biggest Hamburger? Well, it was a giant. In 1982 10,000 people came to taste the largest Hamburger ever built. Even if it was just a single bite; imagine the mammoth size that was needed to feed those 10,000 mouths. The burger weighed a staggering 1629kg.

In 1921, the first fast food restaurant was opened which sold hamburgers for just 5 cents!

A study conducted in 1995, found that an average 100gms of beef in a burger, consisted of meat from 1000 different cows! Even worse, ground beef is taken from least appetizing portions of cows.

When sh*t gets UGLY… Ask Aunty Flat-tac! I have a thing for my flatmate... We have been good friends for a while and now we are living together, with 4 other people. I try to play it cool and not make a dick of myself, but I don’t want to let onto the boys because I know they will give me shit. It’s sunny outside and love is in the air! Young love… well firstly, you’re young, so you are going to like a lot of ladies so move on. Secondly, have you not heard the saying ‘don’t screw the crew’! NEXT!

Broke Ass. I am currently flatting at the moment and never seem to have any money. I work part-time but between Uni and the hours I do at the moment, I don’t have time for extra work. Well don’t be like the guy before and spend money on your spouse or a crush… if you do have a partner, just let them know, they will reap the rewards when you graduate and get an awesome job, until then, they can put up with homemade cards and flowers from down the road. On a serious note… BUDGET is your answer. Work out what your expenditures are and your income. More info: www.sorted.org.nz. You will probably realise you are spending more than you are earning. Just because you are going cheap doesn’t mean you have to be nasty about it. For food try out www.studentrecipes.com. Going out into town… Firstly DON’T DRINK SO MUCH, secondly, work out what’s the cheapest beverage you like. Don’t come complaining to me if you are buying shots all night. Save the big nights to the ones you actually know you will enjoy. If there is one thing I can pass on is that there will always be a better, bigger night out than the previous one, so don’t feel like you have to make all of them massive. And let’s be honest… the next day, the first words coming out of your mouth are; ‘I am never drinking again!’ Drinking and Food - Do I need to cover anything more for a student… I don’t think so. But ask if there is, I’m not a mind reader. • Never go grocery shopping when you are hungry! • Always pay bills on time to avoid late fees. If you can’t, just call them, most places will work out instalment plans, • Walk away from that credit card… if you don’t have it, you don’t have it. End of. • Student Discount – Community Service Card people! Caclin Issue 3 | 36

• Websites: 1-Day, GrabOne, Grabaseat – don’t be an idiot and pay full price for anything. • Sell stuff you don’t use, wear or like. • Be smart about your buying. No one cares if you aren’t wearing the latest trend. • Lastly, go to freaken class. You are paying for it so don’t waste your money!

I need a flat for next semester. Looking at moving into a flat next semester but don’t know where to start. Help? Good question… thank you! Firstly, you have to ask yourself, “Who am I going to live with?” “Are they going to be reliable to pay bills on time?” and “Are they going to be complete weirdos and leave skids in the toilet all the time?!” Secondly, what are you willing to pay? Remember to think about power, phone, Wifi and anything else that might pop up. This could include essential food and cleaning items. Having a flat account is a great idea! What to look for in a flat? Heating. Do you really care what type of flat you want? Cheap is best. You just have to survive a few years in a sh*thole of a flat...not long in the scheme of things.

Once you have found a place there are a few things you need to remember, so crap doesn’t hit the fan during your lease agreement and when you move out. • Get an Entry Report from landlord and agency • Take photos of the house before you move in. • Make sure all tenants are on the tenancy agreement. If not, PLEASE make sure you work out a Flatting Agreement. You can find templates on the Tenancy Service website. Just because they are your friends now, it does not mean they will be your friends after living together. • Landlords or Agencies need to lodge your bond within 23 working days of receiving it. Tenants should get a receipt. As a tenant you should receive a letter/email confirming your bond has been lodged within six weeks. • The landlord can ask for bond money up to the equivalent of 4 weeks. • If the Landlord promises something i.e. new heat pump, make sure they own up. Ask them to put it in an email or in the tenancy agreement before you sign and move in. • DON’T pay bond without a signed tenancy agreement. That was a lot of thinking…. There are different situations for different cases but these are the general rules. Ask if you are unsure.

THURSDAYS IN BLACK CAMPAIGN has been promoted on Thursday’s for a couple of months now. You might have seen us around campus, at the library, The Workshop or the Foyer of the Forbes building. Wherever we are, please stop by and have a chat about Thursday In Black and/or how you can support! We have recently started a question box and the first questions was: ‘The age group 16-24 years is at the highest risk of sexual assault in any age group. True or False?’ All of the answers from students indicated True, which is accurate. This age group are four times more likely to be sexually assaulted than any other age group. Join us in supporting: “Thursdays in Black” - solidarity and advocacy against all forms of sexual and gender based violence.

Tasman Empire Airways Limited (TEAL), New Zealand’s international airline, was renamed Air New Zealand Limited. Accident Compensation Commission comes into operation. Maori houses (whare) were made of natural materials that had good thermal performance or kept out the wind. European-style timber frame construction was less efficient at retaining heat, but it was not until 1978 that the level of thermal insulation required in new houses was specified by law. The first state secondary school in New Zealand, Nelson College, opened in temporary premises in Trafalgar St with a roll of just eight boys. It eventually attracted boys from around the country as well as the local area. It now has a roll of over 1000 pupils. The ferry Wahine, with 734 passengers and crew on board, was en route from Lyttelton to Wellington when it fell victim to one of the most ferocious storms in New Zealand’s recorded history. With the loss of 53 lives, this is our worst maritime disaster. Labour government cancels the Springbok rugby tour, as they saw ‘no alternative’ to a ‘postponement’ tour by the South Africans. Police said that if the tour went ahead it would ‘engender the greatest eruption of violence this country has ever known’,
