Stage one of New Zealand Aotearoa Adolescent Health and Development's (NZAAHD) Rangatahi Māori Health and Development Project (RMHD) is under way. We are conducting research of existing programmes and services aimed at rangatahi Māori health and development. This will include scoping people who work with rangatahi Māori, and identifying the key factors impacting on rangatahi Māori health and development in Aotearoa with the aim of developing a strategy to best support that work. One element of this first stage is a survey that we would like you to fill out. This is a great opportunity for the sector to paint a picture of what is out there for rangatahi Māori, identify where the gaps are and how we can work together to fill them. Complete it and we'll put your name in a draw for a $50 gift voucher! To complete the survey, visit: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/rangatahi .

Beginning in Māori Language Week 2010, registrations of .nz domain names that include macrons over the vowels will be available to everyone on a first-come, first-served basis. For a two-month period before that time, existing registrants of .nz names can apply for the variations of their existing names that use the macrons. This application period, or "Sunrise Period", opened on 6 April and closes on 6 July 2010. During the Sunrise Period, only registrants of current .nz domain names can request the versions of their names with macrons. Once the Sunrise Period has concluded, anyone will be able to register a name with a macron in it, including variations of names that are already registered to other people.

The Government has welcomed the release of the Whānau Ora Taskforce Report, which sets out options for improving social, education and other support services for families across New Zealand. "Whānau Ora is one of a number of Government initiatives to help families become more self-managing and take responsibility for their own development," Acting Prime Minister Bill English and Minister Responsible for Whānau Ora Tariana Turia say. The Government will formally respond to the Taskforce Report in the next month or so. But Mr English and Mrs Turia made it clear today that while Whānau Ora has the potential to benefit Māori, it will be available to all families in need.

The Friends of Motueka Hospital Trust, representing Nelson City and Tasman District, has been named Supreme Winner at the prestigious TrustPower National Community Awards which were announced on 13 March at the 2009 TrustPower National Community Awards Dinner, held at the World of Wearable Arts and Classic Cars Museum in Nelson. The Friends of Motueka Hospital Trust was established after the Nelson Marlborough District Health Board decided to close the existing community hospital in Motueka. The people of Motueka joined forces to fight the closure and in the process ended up fundraising and building a new hospital to meet the community's needs. The new 45 bed community hospital boasts state of the art equipment, an ensuite bathroom for all rooms and a therapeutic bath with its own lifting equipment.

Robyn Rauna's grandfather served with C Company of the 28 (Māori) Battalion, and although he died before she was born, she grew up hearing all the stories of the soldiers' bravery and achievements. Today she's drawing on that inspiration to achieve in her chosen field: identifying and analysing what makes a good Māori leader. Rauna, who is of Rongowhakaata, Ngāi Tāmanuhiri, Te Aitanga-ā-Māhaki, Kahungunu ki Te Wairoa, Te Whakatohea and Ngāi Tahu descent, is part-way through an MBA at the University of Waikato Management School and is one of eight recipients of this year's Ngarimu VC and 28 (Māori) Battalion Memorial Scholarship Awards. Rauna plans to use the $5,000 award to complete her MBA thesis analysing the behaviours, attributes and practices of emerging Māori leaders charged with managing collectively owned tribal assets. She'll be focusing on governance members of her three iwi, Turanga - Rongowhakaata, Ngāi Tāmanuhiri and Te Aitanga-ā-Māhaki, and says iwi interest in her research has been high.

A newly-formed strategic alliance between leading dementia support organisation Alzheimers New Zealand and residential aged care provider Bupa aims to improve support for New Zealanders with dementia and their families. The first partnership of its kind in New Zealand's aged care sector, the alliance was cemented with a $325,000 grant from Bupa to Alzheimers New Zealand, which will assist in providing increased support for New Zealand's dementia community through shared service delivery, leadership, advocacy and education. "With over 40,746 New Zealanders recorded as having dementia in 2008 and cases expected to grow to 74,821 by 2026, partnerships like this will have an important influence on the rights of people with dementia and make a significant difference to the day to day life of the thousands of people living with dementia in New Zealand," said Alzheimers New Zealand's national director Johan Vos.

The OCVS and Standards NZ are seeking wider public and government agency input on a draft Code of Funding Practice (the Code). When finalised, the Code will support agencies and non-profits in government funding arrangements. For years, government funding arrangements have been a source of tension for non-profit organisations. Many claim that government contracting arrangements carry excessive compliance costs, appear to be one-sided, and fail to share risk. To address this issue, the Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector, the Hon. Tariana Turia, asked the OCVS to develop a good-practice funding code. Standards NZ was chosen to partner with OCVS on this project. Comments may be made online or a comment form may be downloaded and mailed in to Standards NZ. The draft Code is available for download from the Standards NZ website

I remember as a teenager in the 70s having to learn long lists of specials for my after-school job as a supermarket checkout operator. Each week brought a new list of goods and prices, followed by a test.
It was somewhere around the mid-1980s that barcodes started to be widely used. Now we take them for granted, and millions of items are scanned every day at supermarkets, departments stores, airports and elsewhere.
With the correct inexpensive gear we can even use them ourselves at home.
Maharatia ana e au tōku taiohinga i ngā tau tekau mai o 1970 i ako rā au i ngā rārangi roa o ngā utu motuhake mō tāku mahi hokomaha kaitakiatu o muri o te kura. I puta ia wiki he rārangi hōu o ngā rawa, o ngā utu, me tētahi whakamātautau i muri.
Ko waenganui pea o ngā tau tekau mai o 1980 ka tīmata te whakamahinga whānui o ngā paewaehere. Ināianei kua waia noa tātou, ā, he manotini ngā mea ka matawaitia ia rā i ngā hokomaha, i ngā toa taiwhanga, i ngā tauranga waka rererangi, i whea ake.
Ina riro ngā taputapu tika utu ngāwari, ka āhei rātou te whakamahi e tātou i te kāinga.
I have a low-cost cataloguing program for books and DVDs, for example. I hold the book's barcode up to my Mac's built-in camera, the cataloguing software reads the barcode, looks up the book's details at an online bookstore, and enters a swag of information into the database.
The key to the barcode is that it can encode a small chunk of data into a few standardised lines that computer software can interpret. That small chunk may be matched by software with a larger chunk. For example, a book's barcoded ISBN number can be matched with screeds of information from a database.
Hei tauira, kei a au tētahi papatono utu-iti whakarārangi i te pukapuka me te KAM (DVD). Whakairia e au te paewaehere o te pukapuka ki te kāmera hanga-roto o taku rorohiko Mac, nā pānuitia ai te paewaehere e te pūmanawa whakarārangi, ka rapu taipitopito mō te pukapuka i tētahi toa pukapuka tuihono, ā, ka tāurua te mōhiohio nui rawa ki te pātengi raraunga.
Ko te kī o te paewaehere ko tana āhei ki te whakawaehere hei rārangi paerewa ruarua nei tētahi wāhi raraunga iti ka taea te whakamāori e te pūmanawa rorohiko. Ka taea e te pūmanawa te whakarite i taua wāhi ki tētahi wāhi rahi ake. Hei tauira, ka taea te tau paewaehere ISBN o te pukapuka te whakarite ki ngā mōhiohio nunui tonu o tētahi pātengi raraunga.
These days you may see a new kind of barcode around the place. Instead of a handful of vertical lines, the 2 dimensional QR code is displayed as a square filled with black and white pixels. The pixels group together into apparently random lines, shapes and 'blobs'.
A QR code can encode up to 4,296 characters of text — that's around 700 words, orslightly more than the average Panui Tip. It can also be 'smart', thanks to the QR code reader, and there are many such readers around.
For example, I have a free QR code reader on my smart phone. I snap a photo of a code with my phone, then the QR software decodes it. If it's an email address or a web address the QR software may then automatically open my email program or my web browser and load the address.
If the code represents a map address, for example, a location on Google Maps, the QR software may automatically open a map and place a marker on the address, while the map software gives me directions.
I ēnei rā tērā e kitea pea he momo paewaehere hōu huri noa. Mahue tētahi huinga rārangi poutū, ka whakaaturia te waehere UT 2 ahunga hei tapawhārite kī tonu i te pika pango, pika mā. Whakarōpū ngā pika ki ngā rārangi, ngā āhua me ngā 'puku' matapōkere.
Ka taea te waehere UT te whakawaehere tae ki te 4,296 ngā pūāhua kuputuhi — tata ana tērā ki ngā kupu 700, rahi ake noa o te Tohutohu Panui toharite. Ka taea hoki kia 'atamai', nā te kaipānui waehere UT, otirā he maha ā tātou kaipānui pērā ināianei.
Hei tauira, kei a au tētahi kaipānui waehere UT koreutu kei taku waea atamai. Ka tango whakaahua au o tētahi waehere mā taku waea, nā ka wetewaeheretia e te pūmanawa UT. Mēnā he wāhitau ī-mēra, wāhitau tukutuku rānei, tērā te pūmanawa UT e whakatuwhera aunoa ai i taku papatono ī-mēra, i taku pūtiro rānei, ka tāuru i te wāhitau.
Mēnā he wāhitau mahere te waehere, hei tauira, he tauwāhi i Mahere Google, tērā e whakatuwhera aunoa ai te pūmanawa UT i tētahi mahere ka tohua ai te wāhitau, i te pūmanawa mahere e homai ana ki a au ngā tohutohu.
QR codes can encode text, URLs, email addresses, Google Maps Locations, Social Network information, contact information, and other data.
They've been popping up around the place on websites, as avatars, and maybe even on signs and leaflets.
Imagine the uses for museums and art galleries. Instead of squinting to read a placard in tiny type beside an object, visitors could scan a QR code with their smart phone and read a commentary, visit a website, or view the object's origins on a map.
To read more about and experiment for free with creating and reading QR codes take a look at the links in the References section below.
Ka taea e te waehere UT te whakawaehere kuputuhi, PRO, wāhitau ī-mēra, Tauwāhi Mahere Google, mōhiohio Whatunga Pāpori, mōhiohio hoapā, me ētahi atu raraunga.
Kei te putaputa huri noa i ngā paetukutuku, hei awatara (avatar – tuakiri kē), ā tērā hoki pea kei ngā tohu me ngā pānui kōrero.
Whakaarohia ngā tikanga whakamahi mā ngā papa tongarewa me ngā taiwhanga toi. Mahue te āta titiro ki tētahi pānuitanga pato iti i te taha i tētahi mea, ka taea e ngā manuhiri he waehere UT te matawai ki tā rātou waea atamai hei pānui kōrero, hei toro paetukutuku, hei kite rānei i te takenga mai o tētahi mea i runga mahere.
Hei pānui i ētahi atu kōrero, hei whakamātautau koreutu hoki ki te waihanganga me te pānuitanga waehere UT tirohia ngā hono i te wāhanga Tohutoro i raro nei.
It's essential to understand the characteristics of the people you want to visit your website, as the previous Tip explained. Also crucial is to be clear about the purpose of your website.
What do you want your website to achieve? What's its purpose? What do you want people to do when they visit your site?
He mea waiwai te mātau ki ngā āhuatanga o ngā tāngata e hiahia ana koe kia toro ki tō paetukutuku, hei tā te whakamārama o te Kupu Tohutohu o mua rā. Ko tētahi mea tino taketake anō ko te mōhio mārama tonu ki te korou o tō paetukutuku.
He aha tāu e hiahia nā kia taea e tō paetukutuku? He aha tōna koroa? He aha tāu ka hiahia nā kia aha ngā tāngata ina toro atu ki tō pae?
Your website may have one or two main goals, and perhaps a couple of secondary goals. For example, your goals may include a couple of these:
That's not an exhaustive list of possibilities. Your website will probably be aiming to achieve one or two of those things or perhaps something else entirely.
Kia kotahi, kia rua rānei ngā tino whāinga o tō paetukutuku, me ētahi whāinga tuarua e rua pea. Hei tauira, hei roto pea i ō whāinga he rua pea o ēnei:
Ehara tēnei i te mutunga o te rārangi mea ka taea. Tērā e whai tō paetukutuku kia taea he kotahi neke atu rānei o ēnei mea, tētahi atu mea kē rānei.
It's important to recognise exactly what it is you want to achieve with your website.
When you're in planning meetings you will return time and again to why you want a website. The more precise your focus, the more likely it is that the site will succeed. A site that tries to be all things to all people will almost certainly end up achieving nothing and suiting no-one.
The goals for your site affect what you actually put on the website, how you structure the site, which items are more prominent, the style of the site, and even design factors such as fonts and colours.
Every element of the site needs to be judged according to whether it supports the overall goals or not. Things that work against the goals need to be removed or changed.
For example, your favourite colour may be pink, but if you try to use pink on a site that aims to build credibility and reliability it may undermine your message. Unless your target visitors come from a culture where pink is highly esteemed, of course.
He mea nui te mōhio he aha oti tāu e hiahia ana kia taea me tō paetukutuku.
I a koe i ngā hui whakamahere ka rite tonu tō hokihoki ki te take he aha koe te hiahia nei ki tētahi paetukutuku. Ina koi rawa tō arotahi, ka angitu pai ake ai te pae. Ko te pae e ngana ana ki te tū hei mea katoa ki ngā tāngata katoa, kāore e kore horekau e taea tētahi mea, horekau anō e pai ki tētahi tangata.
Ka pā hoki ngā whāinga ka whakatakoto koe mō tō pae ki tāu e uta rawa ki tō paetukutuku, ki tāu hanganga o te pae, ko ēhea ngā mea kōhure ake, ki te kāhua o te pae, ki ngā āhuatanga hoahoa anō hoki pēnei i ngā momotuhi me ngā tae.
Whakawākia rawa ia āhuatanga o te pae mehemea kei te tautoko rānei i ngā whāinga whānui kāore rānei. Tangohia, hurihia rānei ngā mea kāore e mahi mō ngā whāinga.
Hei tauira, tērā pea ko te māwhero tō tino tae, engari ki te whakamahi māwhero koe mō tētahi pae e whai ana ki te whakatūturu i te pono me te whaitake tērā ia e whakaruhi pea i tō kaupapa. Engari koa, ina puta mai ō kaitoro ūnga i tētahi ahurea e kairangitia nuitia ai te māwhero.
If you already have a website, note down what you know about the target visitors, and the main goals for the site.
Now look through the site and ask which elements support the visitors and goals, which are opposed, and which are neutral.
Does the front page stand up to scrutiny? Does it say the right things to the right people? Does it have extra 'junk' that dilutes the message?
What about the other main pages? Do they support the purpose of the site?
It's easy to sit around and brainstorm all the information that could be on a website, all the gadgets and features a website could have. But each piece of information, each whizzy feature needs to justify its existence and contribute to the goals. If it doesn't, then ditch it.
Think of your website as a sharp arrow, not as a battering ram.
Ki te whai paetukutuku kē koe, tuhia iho tāu e mōhio nā mō ngā kaitoro ūnga, mō ngā whāinga matua hoki mō te pae.
Nā, tirohia te pae me te pātai ko tēhea ngā wāhanga kei te tautoko i ngā kaitoro me ngā whāinga, ko ēhea kei tauaro kē, ko ēhea ngā mea kūpapa.
Ka taea e te whārangi o mua te āta tirohanga? Kei te kīia rānei e ia ngā mea tika ki te hunga e tika ana? Kei a ia rānei ētahi 'paraurehe' tāpiri e whakamemeha nei i āna kōrero?
Pēhea ērā atu whārangi matua? E tautoko ana rānei i te korou o te pae?
He ngāwari noa te nohonoho ki te wānanga i ngā mōhiohio katoa ka taea mō runga i te paetukutuku, ngā taputapu me ngā āhuatanga katoa ka taea e tētahi paetukutuku. Heoi, mā tēnā, tēnā wāhi mōhiohio, tēnā, tēnā āhuatanga mīharo e whakatūturu tōna wāhi, e tautoko hoki i ngā whāinga. Ki te kore, maka atu.
Whakaarohia tō paetukutuku ānō hei pere koi, kaua hei pou tukituki.
And now comes the next important consideration: what do you want visitors to do next? What is your 'Call to Action'? The next Tip will look more closely at that topic.
