poor foundations...cheesus next the country will be clamping down on the cornerstone of illicit drug harm in new zeeland...but I digress...as I do...
chinese precursors and steal...its possible...its possible I was told about this in may...again I digress...is that a kiwi? Fruit...fungus
just going to the shuan hendy book for clarification...or is the carl sagan book...

The cornerstone, poor foundations.
Great work RB!

Excellent, I am about to head over to Matters of Substance and read the full thing.
If I could just comment briefly, b 4 heading to the full script, the Ministry of Health Guidelines quoted a Mr Mike Sabin, from Methcon. What the hell is Mike Sabin doing being quoted in a health standard? He wasn't a published academic, just an ex cop with an agenda, that document was just propaganda placed before the politicians, I think RB covered that back in the day.
But as it turned out, we tax payers paid thousands to an ex-cop to educate vulnerable youth in MSD homes, I hope MSD swiped the walls before Sabin walked in. But no, they helped tailor the programs with Methcon to suit the agenda.
Anyway, I am about to head to matter of substance.

My Goodness...William Dart...wow...
....back in time, it was compulsory listening, those reviews were beautiful. I remember several of them to this day...I carry them around with me, at all times- even now. William Dart, a person who added brilliance to my appreciation of music, a depth a breadth, a person who sent me on an exploration of various artists catalogues. Radio is such a Hot Medium.
Take for example, Williams review of Swamp Ophelia by the Indigo Girls...sent shivers down my spine. I hope there are recordings of those reviews some place, because they were bloody good. I made an Amazon account back then, because I couldn't find that CD in a shop, and it arrived in the mail, its probably in my top 5 of all time. Recently I introduced my daughter to the Indigo Girls and that was cool.
Dead mans hill...I remember...
anyway, there were great reviews, Kate and Anna McGarragle, Ben Folds Five, Randy Newman...I found my self purchasing back catalogues. I suppose William was a catalyst. Then I found Alt Country...Amazon started sending me recommendations...things went vic chesnutt and vic williams for a while...I did get to meet Vic Chesnutt at the Harbor Light...it was distressing only moths later he passed.
And then at some point some idiot programmer...changed the program time...it was no longer 7pm...but 2pm in the afternoon on frydey...repeated at 3 am on Sunday morning...why did they do that?...William was audio gold...found on concert FM...why did they do that?
I am so pleased William still walks the earth, thanks Russell for the article...it sent shivers down my spine...and momentarily I wondered what the hell I had been doing all these years.
William Dart...a national treasure, a sonic smith!
Nice article Russell.
PEACE

I was in - kind of a panic - when I took the bus into town to discuss minute amounts of meth contamination on state house walls. I got off the bus and headed to the University suitably early to appease my panic. I don't go to town often, but I walked up the hill...wasn't that where the "hempstore" used to be?...some sorta mirror store there with videos playing...there were no customers...and I wondered what the hell happened to the hemp store...and what the hell do people do in the this mirror store...i wanted to walk in...but had to go talk about state house meth..
difficult long chat about meth running down the walls, mold, academic papers, risk, breathing apparatus, gib board...
I walk back down the hill to the bus past the mirror shop..they are tunneling under my feet to achieve a loop...i smiled to myself and calculated how much the house prices had increased on my trip to town...they pay no capital gain tax...perhaps that was what the mirror store was where the hemp store used to be...past the fast cars killing the planet..
Hon Dunne was in that video, a one man party, doing work the tories will not touch...Russell mentioned someone looking like an asshole in his article...i suppose he was sort of right...but I think the asshole was Hon Dunne not the steampunk...anyway rock on.... on the house prices bitches...tax free capital gain..looks like shiny mirrors where the hemp store used to be be.
All in all Grant Hall...asshole...but then again with no capital gain and a massive influx of people...lets just do supply and demand and keep shit simple rather than calling people assholes!
lets clean up the walls in the state houses, that is the first thing, scrub off the meth residue...could one decide housing new zealand were steampunks?
don't worry about the dividend steampunks

how do you get an image into hard news....
yeah.... so when the index was nearly cooked, the MOH project manager asks...well how we publish this shit?
------I will ask the NDIB.....if we should publish Michael....what is that......
NDIB...said you take the glory health
-
I was in two minds
so to speak about making another post
seeing as the painting myself and standing next to a state house failed to attract viable amounts of meth...
should I..
why notxxx,
Just a follow up to some matters in the ---------- Letter.
In regards to so called synthetic cannabis, the coding. I asked the Data Section at the MOH what the ICD 10 code is for synthetic cannabis. This is now recorded by coders as T43.8 "other psychotropic drugs". I asked them when this was recognized by the ICD 10 database, they tell me the changed happened in July 2011. Cannabis poisoning, whatever that is, is code 407. That code is understandable, in that for example - a person could be poisoned by the Police spraying herbicide over outdoor cannabis crops! So before July 2011 any poisoning due to cannabinoids was coded as T407, therefore the data does not differentiate between the plant and synthetic substances. The data used by the harm index was for 2010, extracted in 2013 by Health. So we have quite a confused situation and this is even before people infer medical relationships from codes. But also the point is that we are focused on very small numbers that are actually statistically unimportant compared to other licit substances that cause much more harm to society.
Look at this little trick. If you go to the ICD 10 Guidelines for the F Section the code for Tobacco issues is F17. (Cannabis F12, Alcohol F10) the instruction to coders is "Mental and behavioral disorders due to the use of tobacco not to be used if the resultant physical condition is known." (see screenshot)So how is that possible, how come tobacco does not show in the statistics, yet we drill down into 10 classifications of problems due to cannabis use? I have asked the WHO for an explanation, but no one ever replies. It is my argument that the Tobacco industry must have made some sort of threat to the WHO about this matter. We can code for lung cancer, but not mention the tobacco use! See things become very dangerous when people don't keep to evidence.
I went thru the emails I have from my OIA on the index, I have asked numerous more questions to Health, I accuse them of withholding documents from me and that the OIA is an incomplete record of what I asked for. But the point is this - the Index is just another example of the politicization of the public service. The money for the Index came from a special fund Dunne tells us Audience at the release; "I would like to begin by acknowledging that funding for this project to reproduce a Drug Harm Index for New Zealand was approved by the Prime Minister from the proceeds of crime." Well that is quite funny! and then Dunne said this;
"Nearly all public sector agencies have struggled with measuring the social impact of their programmes.
This is hardly surprising given that those programmes operate in complex environments.
However, by better understanding the social impact of our policies, we can better inform social investment.
Social investment is one of the key tools the Government has to drive changes in the community.
As the Minister of Finance Bill English has said, at its heart, social investment is about understanding what makes the most difference to people’s lives, and using evidence to do more of what works.
The social investment approach fits squarely with the evidence based approach which lies at the heart of the National Drug Policy."
So in that backdrop, the Index was released on 7 April 2016, just in time for Dunne to take the Index to UNGASS in New York. Dunne had previously given the UN his CIP speach, Compassion Innovation and Proportion. So the Index was an example of Innovation and Dunne took copies to give to his UN mates.
The whole process undertaken to develop the index was driven by that clownish sideshow undertaken by Dunne. The MOH just went along for the goal driven target of getting an Index to Dunne to take to New York. No one bid for the Index under GETS, so Health had to find someone who could do the work to the project timetable. Along came McFadden to collect the $193,000 with his innovative index.
In the emails I have from Health some of the reviewers start raising concerns about the Index. Those concerns are dismissed by the Project manager from Health and in addition Mc Fadden gets quite cross when he gets a review document, he tells the Project a manger it would be easier if he didn't hear from Mr X again on the Index! Anyway health didn't care to attend to details, as it was driven by delivering a document Dunne could take to UNGASS.
So the public service Health did not deliver free and frank advice, they delivered propaganda to suit a politically driven agenda via funding, thru Social Investment, all the way to UNGASS the world stage for an innovative harm index. So this is very much Tory politics, new right, neo con, and it has very little to do with any concern about HARM.
Got any questions do drop me a line!
Take care.

....i was trying....waiting for bugs to fly spray....cause paint attracts meth...
i was gunna like demo the whole plan and start with new gib board...forensic science...minute shit...on walls and soft furnishings....
what do i lick again?
-
In reply to andin...I like what you wrote there!
In other matters, the idea of consuming fly spray and weed killa on plant material is kind of... attractive....
...but then - while I pondered that....I couldn't help but wonder about all the 520 meth contaminated state houses....I could so do like urban raids and go lick walls and soft furnishings...perhaps I could start a clean up company...I have developed a clean up method for Gib Board...I could remove and crush all the board and extract the meth...now there some innovation for you....man =if it tested for micro-grams i am so extracting it...
or my other idea...its kinda ugly...but you know... beats licking walls...so you find a clean up operation in a state house where they flush all the clean up waters down the sewer...I could put on a hi vis vest and collect that waste...with my gumboots on and a pumper truck....and carefully extract all that meth that would otherwise affect the health of waste water workers...
this evening I am so full of innovation...while insects crawl on my touch screen...reaches for the raid.....and momentarily...
apparently meth is attracted to paint...so I thought I could paint myself tomorrow and go stand near those boarded up state houses....and if anyone asked what i was doing...i would fly spray them with Raid....
I am about Compassion Innovation and of course Proportion.
(fucking roaches)
