Recovering New Zealand's wartime fallen

The story of New Zealand's fallen soldiers who remain buried in foreign fields, often unprotected, and the whanau who want to bring their remains home, is told in a new Maori TV documentary. In Foreign Fields is hosted by Witi Ihimaera who shares his own story - the pressure to return the body of one of his relations to Aotearoa New Zealand. In Foreign Fields is directed by John Keir. John had his own story of a lost soldier in his wife's family, and they'd visited Gallipoli so they could find his grave. But John tells Lynn Freeman that's not what started him down the path of suggesting the documentary to Maori TV. In Foreign Fields premieres on ANZAC Day on Maori TV

Professor Peter Stanley from the University of New South Wales, is the author of Die in Battle (2015), the first book to recognise Indians serving in the Gallipoli campaign.

Titled ‘Duty, Honour, Country’- the display will include a collection of black and white photographs and artefacts of Sikh soldiers who served in Malaya, Singapore, Burma(Myanmar), Indonesia, China, Hong Kong, Korea, the Middle East Africa and Europe.

The curator of this exhibition is Harchand Singh Bedi who told SBS Punjabi that most of the photographs are from the archives of the Imperial War Museum in Elephant and Castle, London.

Remembering the turbaned titans of World Wars

Guru Gobind Singh's famous words;

Chirian to mein baaz tudaun.
Gidran to mein sher banaun.
Sawa lakh se ek ladaun. Tabe Gobind Singh Naam kahaun.

(It is when I make sparrows fight hawks and

mould 'giddars' into lions,

that I am called Gobind Singh).

Mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke on Berlioz and Steve Jobs

Grammy Award-winning mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke has played Apple co-founder Steve Job's wife Lauren, and mountaineer Rob Hall's wife Jan Arnold in contemporary, world premiere operas. She says she relishes the challenge of being the first singer to tackle a role. The (Re)volution of Steve Jobs earned her adoring reviews. But Sasha's next appointment is with the classical repertoire and one of her great loves, the work of French composers, for a three-centre tour with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.

Government Executive - Officials Highlight Pay for Performance, Streamlined Firing in New Management Document: “Just weeks after the announcement of President Trump’s management agenda, three agency leaders have put together the first roadmap for implementation of the White House’s workforce goals. In a quarterly report released last week, the Office of Personnel Management, the Defense Department and the Office of Management and Budget described some aspects of the federal civil service system as “a relic of an earlier era that ill-serves federal managers and employees.” The document focuses on three key goals: improving employee performance management and engagement; reskilling and redeploying human capital resources; and enabling simple and strategic hiring practices. Although the report, issued by OPM Director Jeff Pon, Defense Chief Management Officer Jay Gibson, and OMB Associate Director for Performance and Personnel Management Peter Warren, noted that some of the White House’s workforce reform initiatives will require legislative and regulatory action, it outlined a number of short-term goals that can be achieved administratively…”
