'Master driller' killed by loose fitting
Relevant offers
A ''master driller'' died after a fitting came loose and hit the side of his helmet, causing a fatal skull fracture, a coroner has found.
Graham Robert Brown, 67, of Dunedin, was killed while working on clearing a slip near Monkey Creek on the Milford Rd on October 19, 2012.
Coroner David Crerar released his findings into Brown's death today.
The pathologist concluded Brown died from a massive head injury.
Brown was one of several Downer employees working to clear the ''Red Slip'' near the Homer Tunnel in Southland.
He was using an air track drill mounted on a digger to drill holes in the largest boulders so they could be blown up and removed.
Wayne Carran, avalanche manager for Downers in Te Anau, described Brown as a ''master driller'' with specialist skills which were recognised throughout New Zealand and internationally.
''Graham Brown was said to be very special in that he was 'deliberate, never rushed anything or took shortcuts and had a safety culture second to none','' Crerar stated.
On October 19, 2012, Brown and another employee were working with a compressor that was not operating correctly.
After several attempts to make adjustments, they decided to get another air compressor out.
The attachment from the replacement compressor to the air hose they were using was different and needed to be replaced.
Brown did this while two other employees tightened other hose fittings as directed by Brown.
Brown clamped the air hose to the replacement compressor and told the others everything was ready.
An employee noticed the air hose and clamp fail in its attachment and hit Brown.
Carran saw Brown get hit by an object and fall to the ground.
He performed first aid, commenced CPR and called for emergency assistance.
Crerar found air pressure from the compressor caused a separation of the connecting clamp, which detached and struck the side of the safety helmet worn by Brown with considerable force.
''The impact, notwithstanding the protection given by the helmet, caused Graham Brown to sustain a skull fracture which was fatal.''
Crerar noted Brown's widow, Elizabeth Brown, expressed the only person who could identify precisely what had occurred was her late husband.
''I consider that it is probable (more likely than not) that, for some reason, Graham Brown had, on this one occasion and uncharacteristically, neglected to take this safety precaution.''
Crerar said neither Brown nor his colleagues had appreciated the difference of pressure output between the two compressors.
A WorkSafe New Zealand investigation found Brown enjoyed the confidence and respects of both his employer and fellow employees to such an extent that he was considered well able to complete tasks, such as those he had undertaken with the hose connection, autonomously.
Crerar commented that if any one of a number of contributing factors had been missing, including if they had not changed compressors or it had been the same type of compressor, then Brown probably would not have died.
Charges were initially laid in the Invercargill District Court against Downer, but were later withdrawn.

When I first quit my corporate job to become a full-time food babe, I took on pretty much any gig that involved buttercream and not my naked body. I worked long hours in front of my computer bouncing between tabs of various recipe projects. I spent my days teaching 9-year olds how to bake homemade granola bars, and my nights lugging hundreds of mini meatballs to upscale Fashion Week parties, where no one wanted to eat them. And being a desperate freelancer trying to build word of mouth and make a name for myself, at the beginning, I often cooked a lot of these meals for free.
That all changed with the great Tortilla Espanola fiasco of 2011.

100 million girls to be married before turning 18 in next 10 yrs: Report
India is one among the poor countries like Nigeria, Ethopia and Yemen where 40 per cent of girls are married off by the age of 18 years, thus exposing them to early, unwanted sexual activity, early pregnancy, reproductive tract infections (RTIs) and deadly diseases such as HIV.
According to a recent joint report by WHO and UNFPA, Married adolescent: no place for safety, although early marriage is declining around the world, 100 million girls will marry before their 18th birthday over the next 10 years. In Bangladesh, Burkina Faso and Chad, 60 per cent or more of girls are married by the age of 18 while it is 50 per cent or more in Mozambique and Nepal, Ghana, Gutemala and Indonesia are comparatively better with 30 per cent or more of girls are married by the age of 18.
Due to early marriages, in India, infection rates are rising fastest among married women, who accounted for 40 per cent of all new infection cases in 2002, says the report that notes how, in many countries, the time gap between getting married and having the first baby is declining. It outlines the risks of too early pregnancy and explores the reasons why families and communities feel under pressure to continue the practice of marrying off their daughters while they are still in their adolescents stage.
The largest falls in early marriage have been in West Africa, East and Southern Africa, South and South-East Asia and Western Asia (Middle East). In some countries the decline has been rapid. In Bangladesh, the percentage of girls married by 18 years fell from almost 90 per cent to 65 per cent in 20 years. In Ethiopia, it fell from 79 per cent to 49 per cent, in Nepal from 70 per cent to 55 per cent and in Nigeria from 55 per cent to 40 per cent, as per the report.
Early marriages have taken a toll on women's health too. More than half of pregnant women are anemic, with much higher rates in developing countries — 86 per cent in United Republic of Tanzania, 88 per cent in India and 94 per cent in Papua New Guinea, it added.

After a murder case threatens her safety, attorney Brooke
Benton seeks sanctuary in the quiet Amish community of
Maplecreek. Although the locals disagree with her worldly
ways, she soon manages to find a place in their lives. But
when a tragic hit-and-run accident turns fatal, Brooke
cannot abide by the community's belief in absolute
forgiveness. She wants answers.
Daniel Brand left his childhood home to explore the outside
world years ago. Now he has returned to his Amish roots, and
worldly Brooke Benton does not fit into his plans. But when
his niece dies, he slowly agrees that they must bring to
justice the driver who killed her -- especially when a
silent presence continues to threaten the community.
Together, Brooke and Daniel begin a journey along a dark
road, hoping to bring peace to the small community...and
maybe lead their hearts home.

HERNDON, VA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/21/14 -- Objective Interface Systems, Inc. (OIS), the world's leading provider of high-performance, real-time and embedded communication middleware solutions, today announced that its ORBexpress® product has successfully completed its security evaluation for use in the F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter's Communications, Navigation and Identification (CNI) system, an advanced and complex avionics system that must be certified to comply with rigorous security requirements.
In support of Joint Strike Fighter program requirements, Lockheed Martin, the National Security Agency, InfoGard and OIS have successfully completed a security evaluation of the ORBexpress RT for C++ product. A variety of artifacts were generated during this process that are useful for certification and accreditation of U.S. Department of Defense systems that use the ORBexpress products. The results of the evaluation process satisfied the Joint Strike Fighter program requirements for compliance with the National Security Telecommunications and Information Systems Security Policy (NSTISSP) No. 11.
The CNI system, being developed by Northrop Grumman for the F-35's prime contractor, Lockheed Martin, is a crucial component for the success of the F-35's advanced warfighting mission. The CNI system needs strong security to insure seamless and uninterrupted performance on the battlefield. The successful evaluation of ORBexpress saved the JSF program significant time and money by allowing the program to use COTS (Commercial Off-the-Shelf) communications middleware while still meeting the JSF's security objectives, instead of developing costly proprietary middleware.
The Northrop Grumman CNI system uses software defined radios based on the Software Communications Architecture (SCA). Developed by the U.S. Department of Defense as part of the Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS), the SCA uses the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) as the communications middleware framework. ORBexpress meets the rigorous requirements for JTRS radios transmitting classified data.
InfoGard, an internationally recognized security consulting, testing and evaluation company, was one of the two independent parties that evaluated ORBexpress. InfoGard is an accredited Common Criteria laboratory under NIAP and NVLAP (NVLAP Lab Code: 100432-0), and was the first private IT security laboratory to become accredited by the United States National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). InfoGard also performs security testing such as penetration testing and application vulnerability assessments. InfoGard is accredited to test and validate the security of IT products and networks for approval and use by the U.S. Federal Government, the Department of Defense, Visa International, and MasterCard International.
"As part of our evaluation of ORBexpress, we were given unprecedented access by OIS to the code, development processes and developers of ORBexpress," said Ryan Day of InfoGard. "Combined with OIS's thorough responses to our questions, this access enabled us to efficiently complete our evaluation."
"During this stringent evaluation, a number of independent third parties reviewed and analyzed ORBexpress for different quality aspects," said Charles Rush, Vice President of OIS's Software Products Engineering. "This gives the developers of mission-critical systems even further confidence in using ORBexpress to develop their systems which require high robustness and reliability."
About OIS
OIS provides high-performance technologies for constructing high-performance and secure communications systems from tiny embedded systems to multi-enterprise, large-scale cloud computing infrastructures. OIS products empower users by providing unique data and cloud-based access capabilities.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Sweden's extradition of Assange approved
| updated at xx
A British judge has ruled that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should be extradited to Sweden to face sexual offense charges.
Assange denies the sexual assault and rape allegations against him and claims they are politically motivated. He has infuriated the United States government by publishing embarrassing secret diplomatic documents online.
His lawyers had argued that he would not face a fair trial that is open to the public in Sweden and that he then risks being extradited to the US to face charges related to his whistle-blowing activities and could face the death penalty.
A lawyer representing Swedish prosecutors said that the evidence in the sex offense trial would be heard behind closed doors but that the arguments would be then made public.
Assange was arrested under a European Arrest Warrant in December before being released on bail nine days later. His lawyer says he will appeal the Swedish extradition ruling.

Cognitive Computing is becoming the foundation for a new generation of solutions that have the potential to transform business. Unlike traditional approaches to building solutions, a cognitive computing approach allows the data to help determine the way applications are designed.

Memory is a powerful drug, and during the week mine focused on a team I worshipped as a schoolboy, the 1963-64 All Blacks who toured Britain, Ireland, France, and Canada.
OPINION: A terrific New Zealand photographer, Morrie Hill, published a glossy booklet after the tour, and in one shot pictured half a dozen of the players gathered around the plaque at Rugby School which commemorates William Webb Ellis who, "with a fine disregard for the rules of football as played in his time", ran with the ball in his arms in 1823, which, if the legend is true, started the sport of rugby.
One of the All Blacks in that shot was Kevin Barry, a hero of mine when I was a kid. By melancholy coincidence, I learned of his passing on the same day I stood before the Webb Ellis plaque for the first time.
Heroes are tricky beasts. They can let you down with a thump that sickens you for days afterwards.
But Kevin never did. All Blacks were never thick on the ground in Thames Valley, but he was our man. He started playing senior rugby as a teenager in the Valley when his father, Ned, also an All Black, was a cop stationed at Whitianga.
In 1962 Kevin led a Valley team reduced to 14 men when wing Jim Mita broke his arm early in the game to a sensational two-point win over the Wallabies in Te Aroha.
He never played a test for the All Blacks, but started 23 games on tour, and he was good enough to once steal two lineout throws from Colin Meads when the Valley played King Country in Paeroa.
Strangely, after going for his third ball on a King Country throw, he was injured, and needed extensive bandaging to get back on the field. I think in those more primal times they called it a badge of honour.
After he'd retired from rugby, and was working in Auckland, I got to know him, and discovered what a modest, likeable, all round good bugger he was.
And here's the thing. Having been lucky enough to make a living in the media since 1965, I discovered something about that 1963-64 side: If there was ever a team that had a "no dickhead" policy this was it.
You could start with the coach, Neil McPhail. A former soldier, he was so modest he told reporters seeking quotes after a game, "Don't ask me, I wasn't out there. You need to talk to the players."
I doubt there's ever been a more astute man in our rugby than captain Wilson Whineray, later Sir Wilson. He was charming, too.
A few years before he died in 2012, I bumped into him at the Hard To Find Bookshop in Onehunga. In his hand was a copy of Terry McLean's book on the 63-64 tour, Willie Away, named after Whineray. There was a pregnant pause before he said, "This is not what it looks like."
Whenever he saw the book he bought a copy, he explained, and then, when grandchildren were old enough to wonder what Granddad had done in his youth, he could simply hand it over.
Whineray's All Blacks of 63 were a hell of a team.
They played 36 games, won 34, lost to Newport in their third match, and only lost out on a Grand Slam tour because Scotland held them to a scoreless draw.
But what the players offered to the sport, and to their country, in future years is even more extraordinary.
Four, Whineray, Brian Lochore, John Graham and Colin Meads, would be knighted.
Lochore coached the first All Blacks side to win the World Cup in 1987. Graham, for years the headmaster of Auckland Grammar, remains a passionate advocate for excellence in education. A young Polynesian friend met him this year and said, "He wasn't what I expected. I thought he'd be stern and cold, but he's got a terrific sense of humour."
And what would any story about this team be without a mention of possibly the sweetest natured man to ever pull on a rugby jersey, Waka Nathan?
In the 1970s, when Maori rugby had almost crashed and burned in the wake of some awful results, he took over as coach, and got the team back on its feet.
But don't think the sweet smile signalled a man you could push around. Terry McLean records that at the end of the tour he said to Nathan, "I've reached a point, Waka, where I think I might have to take that guitar you play all the time and stamp it into little pieces."
Replied Nathan, "Sure. And I might have to do the same to your typewriter."

Journalists at the Beijing News were at home late one night last week when their mobile phones started ringing.
Colleagues in the newsroom were telling them of a showdown between the newspaper's management and propaganda department officials.
That afternoon, propaganda officials had come to see publisher Dai Zigeng and editor-in-chief Wang Yuechun to demand that the paper heed a government directive to publish an editorial by the nationalist Global Times, denouncing protests against censorship at another paper, the Southern Weekly. But the Beijing News was resisting.
In a country where newspapers usually toe the government line, the defiance by the Beijing News was remarkable.
Not since the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests had reporters banded together in such a dramatic way for the cause of press freedom.
The challenge by both the Southern Weekly and the Beijing News highlighted a pivotal struggle between media increasingly pushing for independence and a Communist Party government that brooks no dissent to its rule.
That night at the Beijing News, Dai and Wang called a meeting with a small group of staff — mostly editors, though reporters who were close to the office rushed back.
They asked for opinions about running the editorial criticising the Southern Weekly.
Everyone opposed it despite a threat from the authorities to shut their paper down, said a senior Beijing News editorm.
''The Global Times' definition of it was wrong, we all knew that it wasn't true,'' said the editor, referring to the editorial denouncing the Southern Weekly protests.
''To publish something like that at this time would be helping someone commit evil,'' said the editor, who declined to be identified saying his newspaper's management had ordered staff not to talk about the incident to other media.
The Global Times, owned by the party mouthpiece the People's Daily, blamed overseas forces for inciting the Southern Weekly protests and said China was not ready for dramatic media reforms.
The talks between the Beijing News and the propaganda officials went on into the night.
Dai, who had built the Beijing News into a title known for feisty reporting and commentary, told the officials that he might as well resign if the government was forcing the paper to print something against its will.
But despite that, in the end, after resisting the government directive for two days, the Beijing News decided it had to obey.
Some journalists wept, the editor said: ''Everyone's emotions were running high, we all found it difficult to accept.''
But in an unusual deal hammered out between Dai and the propaganda officials, the Beijing News was able to cut the editorial down to 400 characters, bury it on page 20 and print it under a different headline.
It was an acceptable solution for both sides, said the editor. Neither Dai nor the Beijing propaganda department were available for comment
But the deal might just signal the end of the first round of a long struggle rather than a lasting peace.
The fate of both the Beijing News and the Southern Weekly, where the dispute was settled with a compromise, will be closely watched as a test of new Communist Party chief Xi Jinping's commitment to political reform.
The challenges by the newspapers could set the stage for tighter restrictions. Although no one expects the protests to spread nationwide, the use of social media has amplified support for the press among many people.
In a sign of nervousness over the media protests, terms related to both incidents have been blocked on China's Twitter-like microblogs, which would appear to show the government is a long way from loosening controls.
''My fear is that under Xi Jinping, the media will have to go through another round of tighter control because of the tendency of the propaganda department to do their own job of controlling the media,'' said Bo Zhiyue, a professor of Chinese politics at the National University of Singapore.
In the end, Dai never resigned. At a forum in Beijing a day after his showdown with the authorities, he spoke forcefully about the mission of his newspaper.
''The people at the Beijing News are still pure, professional people with strong journalistic ideals,'' Dai said.
''We sincerely hope this newspaper... is able to be the voice of the people.''
The Beijing News was started in 2003 as a joint venture between the Southern Daily newspaper group — the owner of Southern Weekly — and the politically prominent Guangming Daily, which controls 51 per cent of the paper. The Beijing News has a circulation of about 730,000.
Dai, 49, was one of two founders of the paper and a party member since 1986.
The editor at the Beijing News described Dai as idealistic and his defiance angered the authorities.
''The higher-ups felt that certain media were being very stubborn in not republishing, and were annoyed.''
''The background to this is that a new leadership team to guide ideology had just been installed and they want to establish some authority.''
A bespectacled man with floppy hair, Dai pushed the newspaper to write notable stories that included exposing how local governments were using loopholes in a land policy initiative to seize land from farmers in 2010. The reports prompted adjustments to the policy.
The latest incident was not the Beijing News' first run-in with the government.
In late 2005, authorities removed the newspaper's chief editor in what observers said was a move to strengthen party control over the media.
On the same day the Beijing News had to publish the editorial, it ran a piece lauding ''porridge from the south'' in its lifestyle section, in what many saw as a tribute to their colleagues at Southern Weekly.
In Chinese, ''porridge'' sounds like the first Chinese character in ''weekend''.
''Just set upon the table, the porridge still writhes with heat,'' the Beijing News wrote. ''Perhaps it still has a heart of courage.''
Other newsrooms have been pushing back. When some papers published the editorial as directed, they issued disclaimers saying it did not represent their views.
At least two newspapers — the China Youth Daily and the Oriental Morning Post — did not carry the editorial. Representatives said they didn't know whether the newspapers had received the order to do so.
Some of China's biggest news websites arranged their headlines so the first Chinese character on each line spelled messages such as ''Southern Weekly, onward!''
''This is the first time in China's history, with the exception of June 4th, that there's been such a large-scale collective protest by Chinese journalists against the central government's propaganda department's restrictions and suppression,'' said Cheng Yizhong, who co-founded the Beijing News with Dai, referring to the Tiananmen Square protests.
But Cheng said he expected no improvement in freedoms, predicting authorities would try to pre-empt any direct challenges by strengthening controls over social media. Cheng was arrested in 2004 on embezzlement charges that his supporters said were politically motivated. He was later released.
The editor at the Beijing News said management had warned staff not to talk about the incident, especially to foreign reporters, who ''could make the higher-ups lose face''.
''It's possible that after this, they might settle scores.''

ITS Group, a leading supplier of oilfield products and services to the global oil and gas industry, has reported a noticeable profit improvement in its annual report for the year ended December 31, 2011, in line with improving market conditions.
The company, which has its headquarters in Aberdeen, provides drilling equipment and services through a network of 29 facilities across 18 countries and has a strong international footprint.
Turnover increased by 22% to $163.1 million as the Group saw the benefit of continued investment in its fleet and facilities. The rise in turnover also resulted in earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) increasing to $43 million (£26.8 million) - up from $33.5 million (£20.9 million) in 2010.
Following two years of challenging market conditions, improving activity levels have helped to stabilise operations and create an improved business environment, said chief financial officer Scott Milne.
Mr Milne said: "Lower utilisation and volatile pricing weighed heavily on our 2010 results. It is pleasing to see that 2011 saw more stable markets and a return to growth for ITS.
"Growth in international rig counts is eating into the capacity that exists within the service industry. As that narrows we see an environment that will support a much needed recovery and stability in pricing "
Increased activity with customers in the US, Mexico and the UK supported an uplift across the Group. Investment in new plant and equipment also continued with capital expenditure of $20.8 million (£13 million) in the year.
Mr Milne added: "It is pleasing to see continued investment at ITS and our strong market position taking advantage of improving activity levels. However, volatility in the global economy remains and we remain prudent in our approach to investment and control of overheads."
The company, established in 1986 and with headquarters in Aberdeen, provides drilling equipment and services through an international network comprising 29 facilities across 18 countries.
