Wow I’m bad at fic titles

Just a bit of dialogue practice and fleshing out Isaura’s backstory. Thanks @savvyjabby for the initial feedback!

~~~~

It was a quiet night at the clinic, only a year into the desolate world of the Red Plague. The day’s battles had either been lost or were still being fought, but the two left closing up we’re on their way to a well deserved rest.

“So,” Julian asked, “what made you want to help?”

It was a question he wondered about more often than he was willing to admit. Isaura was subtly affected by each patient that came in. She’d clench her jaw and her eyes would be an odd combination of a focused distance. At the end of the day she was stiff and well, melancholy wasn’t the exact word for it but it as the closest one he had but he knew what she was feeling was negative.

Isaura sighed and shrugged. “Mim caught it.”

In the time they’d spent together he noticed that she avoided using the word plague or the Red Plague if she could help it. “Mim?”

“My mother. She’s dead now.”

“Oh.” He closed the cupboard and looked at her. “I’m sorry.”

“It wasn’t your fault.” She didn’t look at him, still focused on what she was putting away.

“Why didn’t you leave?” The question was out on an impulse. He clamped his mouth shut, willing the words back in.

“I... I don’t know really. She didn’t want to go and I didn't want to leave her.” She sounded almost distant. Like she was recalling something that happened years ago. Like ignoring her grief would make it disappear. But Julian did not yet know her well enough to notice.

“Did you have someplace else to go?”

“I would think so. We a-actually moved here what,” she looked up to the ceiling, “thrrrreeee years ago? Yeah, three years. I would think we could of moved back.”

“Why didn’t you? After she, uh, died I mean.”

Isaura finally turned to him, having finished the last of her work. “Because I didn’t like losing her and I don’t like the idea of that hap- hap-”

She sighed again. Julian debated saying it for her, but decided against potential offense. “Hap-,hap-,ugh. Hap-en-ing,” she rolled out the word by syllables with her eyes cast upwards, but not really looking, “to anyone else if I can at least try to do something about it. So here I am, trying.”

“Do you have anyone waiting for you?” He asked before whistling to Brundle to follow them out.

“I have an older brother but he’s away and probably won’t be back for a long time. I also have a friend, maybe. But he left. So no.”

“Neither of them took you with them? They don’t sound like that good of people.” He locked the door when they were all out and started down the street.

“They tried to. Vare, my brother, came back about a week after Mim died. I was already set on helping and we got into a fight and he left again. And my friend also tried maybe another week after Vare and but we also got into an ar-argument.”

“Are you okay? I wouldn’t be.” He looked down at her. This woman who had managed her way into his life. Who was a puzzle he was becoming increasingly fond of figuring out.

“Not really. I wish I hadn’t said what I said or at least I could try to apologize, but no one is that eager to pick up mail from a diseased city. Anyways, what about you? Got anyone waiting?” She looked up at him.

“I also moved here, but alone. My younger sister is back home. I miss her, but I’m glad she’s away from all this.” He stopped at the corner. The one that they would typically go there separate ways from. Mustering up the courage, he asked something he’d been meaning to for awhile. “Say, um, how about you come over to my place. It’s not a good night to be alone. O-only if you want to of course. Completely up to you.”

She smiled at him and he could feel his heart skip a beat. “I’d love to.”

Why are so many Indian students coming to New Zealand?

The international student market is huge money-maker for our economy. It’s already New Zealand’s fifth largest export category worth close to $3 billion and it's only getting more lucrative. Last year, the money from tuition fees alone topped $1 billion for the first time.

While most of the international students in New Zealand have traditionally been from China, over the last few years, Indian students have rapidly grown in number. There are now more Indian students in the non-university tertiary sector than any other group.

There were more than 29,000 Indian students enrolled to study here in 2015; that’s a 150 percent increase since 2010.

More students mean more money pumped into our economy andTertiary Education Minister, Steven Joyce, says benefits of international education extend well beyond their economic contribution.“Young New Zealanders live and learn alongside people from other countries, increasing their understanding of other cultures and boosting our links with the world. These links are vital for us to prosper in an increasingly Asia-Pacific world,” he says.

The bad news is, it’s not exactly going to plan. Over the last few years, more and more accounts of cheating, immigration fraud, shoddy agents, exploitation of workers and low-quality education providers have emerged. However, much of it happens behind the scenes or even before the students land on New Zealand soil.

Earlier this year, The Wireless travelled to India to find out what’s behind the rapid growth. Here’s what we know:

#1: A very bad decision

The reality is, New Zealand isn’t a first choice study destination for most Indian Students. Countries like the US, UK, Canada and Australia are usually on the top of their wish list. But when the New Zealand Qualification Authority (NZQA) decided to change the rules, the country experienced an unprecedented surge in Indian students wanting to study here - what started as a wave quickly became a tsunami.

It began in 2013 when NZQA, with the approval of Tertiary Education Minister Steven Joyce, drastically altered the English language requirements for Indian students.In a nutshell, some Private Training Establishments (PTEs) could enrol students into their programmes without having to prove they could speak English through the standard channels - they could use their own tests and criteria instead.

PTEs are privately owned tertiary education providers. They are registered by NZQA and must be signatories of a special code to enrol international students.

While in India, The Wireless spoke to Navneet Singh, co-founder of GoGlobal education consultancy, in the North of the country.

Navneet sends hundreds of students to New Zealand every year and says while the intent of the policy change wasn’t bad, the results had hugely negative impacts for New Zealand.

“Before anybody could understand what happened, it went haywire.

“The primary responsibility [for English testing] was given to the PTEs…and who made the biggest money? The PTEs.”

The rule change led to a sharp increase in fraudulent activity, both by those in India and PTEs in New Zealand looking to make cash off easy-to-exploit entry requirements.

The number of international students from India surged from about 12,000 to more than 20,000 between 2013 and 2014.

Then the surge became a flood.  At the end of October last year, Immigration NZ already received 11 percent more student visa applications than in the whole of 2014, most of which were being declined.

In a high priority report to the Steven Joyce released to under the Official Information Act, NZQA stated that some education agents in India were actively promoting New Zealand as a destination for its ease of entry. It also noted that, in some cases, these agents in India where given the authority to enrol students on the PTEs behalf.

“These [education] providers appear to have no visibility or control over how many offers of place are issues, or to whom. Some of this “outsourcing” is of poor quality.”

Licensed Immigration Adviser Munish Sekhri says he saw, first-hand, what was going on.

“I personally was approached by many PTEs who said ‘hey look, we’ll give you the login details for our English testing portal so you or your staff can sit [the test] on behalf of the students and we’ll offer an admission letter instantly.”

Indian students also suffered. Many with low language skills become susceptible to exploitation in the New Zealand workforce, with some only managing to get jobs paying as little as $4 an hour.

Noticing the damage, NZQA tried to back-track.

They re-introduced rules in late 2015 which meant education providers couldn't use their own English assessments for students coming from India but many say the damage was already done.

#2: Rogue Agents

The majority of students coming from India are from the North – a region most Kiwis will recognise through their taste buds with dishes like tandoori chicken, korma and naan.

Walking along the streets of Chandigarh in North India, the number of signs and banners advertising education abroad is staggering. They line the shop fronts with promises of “easy visas”, “instant approval”, and “residency”, vying for the attention of potential students.

Most young Indians organise their trips through education agents. These agents give advice on where to study, help organise visa applications, and facilitate English testing. However, there are few rules and regulations that govern who can be an agent, what they can say, or how much they can get paid.

Late last year, a Facebook group was set up to support students in New Zealand – Agents Trapped International Students – which has 330 members. One member wrote: “I was told that business program has lot of demand and great jobs are available in Auckland. I have done graduation in business hence I thought it will be great decision to go ahead. But when I landed here I saw every third person doing this degree.”

Agents giving misinformation to potential students, as well charging high fees and falsifying documents is a growing problem.

LISTEN: Insight looks into the growing issue of dodgy visa applications from India.

Immigration lawyer Alistair McClymont says agents also tell students it’s easy to get jobs in New Zealand – a big draw card for those wanting to get residency after their study.

“If you look at any of the marketing that the agents do in India, it's not about the quality of the qualification; it's about the benefits that a student will get if they complete a New Zealand qualification. And that's not in terms of the skills they get...it's about what Immigration NZ will offer them after they graduate.”

Agents are paid commission to send students to particular education providers. Universities give a flat rate of about 10 percent commission, while Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics give up to 30. Reports out of India suggest agents are offered up to 50 percent commission to send students to PTEs, making them more appealing to send students to, even if the quality of education is low.

Out of the 29,235 Indian students in New Zealand last year, more than 21,000 of them attended PTEs. Navneet from GoGlobal in India says shoddy agents can say anything to attract students.

“There are ads in newspapers which say ‘go through us, we’ll give you free air ticket, we’ll give you a laptop.’ When such lucrative ads are there, you can understand what is happening.”

Recently the NZ Herald reported that out of the 10,863 declined applications Immigration received from Indian in ten months, 85 percent had been lodged by unlicensed education advisers, student agents and lawyers who are exempt from licensing.

Regulating agents in India is no simple task. While there are about 33 licensed immigration advisors in India, according to Munish Shekhri, there are thousands of others working with students and getting commission from New Zealand companies. But he says the blame can’t solely to put on the agents or even the places offering them commission - the students need to take responsibility, too.

“The big onus is on the student...they have to understand they cannot come to New Zealand and corrupt the country.”

#3: Cheap as chips

Te Puke – a quiet town outside of Tauranga with a population of about 8,000 - is best known for its kiwifruit. It backpackers and camping grounds are full of seasonal workers from the Pacific Islands, plus the odd travellers hoping to make some cash picking in the orchards.

Te Puke is also the home of Royal Business College, self-described as one of the “largest and most respected colleges in New Zealand”.

With four campuses across New Zealand, its Te Puke campus was the most intriguing. The Wireless headed there last month and found there wasn’t much to see.

The Royal Business College campus is located in an industrial block, with a train track a couple hundred metres from its front door. The outside is unassuming with a couple broken chairs and narrow door.

At lunch time, a stream of young Indian boys came out of the building. Surprisingly, there are no other ethnicities and very few women. Some get into their cars and drive to the local McDonalds while others hang around the parking lot. One student says he was paying $12,000 for a business course in Wellington but moved to Te Puke when he was offered his second year for just $7,000. He said it was a cheaper place to live and easier to find a job.

All the students we spoke to worked on Kiwifruit orchards.

While the website says the campus “provides the ideal learning environment for our Diploma courses in Horticulture,” staff at Royal Business College say they are currently only offering business courses in Te Puke. They wouldn’t let us inside but encouraged us to call the owner, Jimmy Royal. He did not return our requests to talk.

The attraction of PTEs is clear: At universities, international students can expect to pay about three times more than domestic students. In India Renjith Narayan, 21, forked out $72,000 for an 18 month masters course at the University of Auckland. It’s no surprise, then, that many hunt for cheaper alternatives.

In New Zealand, PTEs offer courses in almost everything. A course can cost a smidgen of the price of a university degree. There are over 500 PTEs in New Zealand but only about 250 of them are licensed to enrol international students and most of them in central Auckland.

At lunch time, Queen Street starts to resemble the malls in India. Hundreds of young Indians, mostly boys, gather in groups outside their PTEs dressed in distinctly western fashion. Many order fast food and drag on cigarettes. According to information released under the Official Information Act, about 50 education providers have a visa decline rate over 30 percent. This includes popular PTEs like National Technology Institute, Royal Business, and Newton College of Business & Technology.

Sent omsider blev jag nyligen klar med en vapensköld eller emblem till den lovvärdiga och oförlikneliga Alma.

Redan i samband med att lillebror Julian och jag spånade tillsammans för en vapensköld åt honom (sedermera färdigställd och presenterad i inlägget “En Vapensköld för Julian“) gjorde Alma oss sällskap runt vattenfärgerna och kom med input för sitt eget märke.

Vi kladdade redan då fram ett slags första utkast som innehöll några av hennes idéer. Grunddesignen, med ett “A” i mitten av ett hjärta var hennes. En kul detalj, helt och hållet hennes påfund, var idén med ett leopardmönster som bärande inslag. Från det slöt vi oss också till färgskalan – varma toner gående från gult över till rött.

Senare kom hon också med ändringar, som att själva hjärtat skulle ha leopardmönstret.

Som en liten avstickare kan påpekas att Hjärtat som en design för Alma är något som förekommit tidigare: det är en av de bärande symbolerna i “Hjärtespjutet“, den bok jag skapade åt Alma. Där är hjärtat dels en central komponent i vapenskölden för  prinsessan Julias hem, kungariket Nordenlandet, och kanske än viktigare, är hjärtat är karaktäristiskt för det magiska Hjärtespjutet självt.

Med sådan gedigen input från sin musa och tilltänkta ägare fick det fortsatta arbetet med design och utformning en speciell tyngd och angelägenhet. Men det medförde också vissa rent, ska vi säga “tekniska” stötestenar jämfört med Julians vapensköld. Denna låg nära utformningen för traditionella vapensköldar ifråga om sådant som tinkturer och inneslutning av huvudelementen i en sköld. Men redan Almas val av mönster och grundformer gjorde en sådan lösning mindre tilltalande för hennes emblem.

Jag ville dessutom göra emblemet mer intrikat och förse den med ytterligare element – vilket än mer skulle föra den slutliga utformningen bort från reglerna för en historisk vapensköld. I slutändan blev önskan att hålla emblemet nära Almas egna önskemål och inspiration viktigare än heraldisk formalia.

Det tillägg till grunddesignen som jag fastnade för var att omge själva hjärtat i emblemet med ringlande, taggförsedda rosenbuskar.

Jag skissade fram dem och hjärtat som ena halvan av en design som senare skulle spegelvändas för att ge en likformig och symmetrisk helhet. A-bokstavens stil och utformning kom till på samma papper – den måste göras så att den utan att vara likformig skulle ha någon form av balans och passa i mitten av det hela hjärtat med sin rosinneslutning. Jag tog fram en grundläggande ros-template för mångfaldigande, och målade den liksom buskens grenar, blad och taggar med tuschpensel.

Därefter kopierades och spegelvändes stommen i rosrankorna, “A”:et fixerades och rosorna lades till, utspridda över hela den vindlande massan av grenar, taggar och blad. Slutligen målade jag ett mönster liknande en leopards fläckar, bände och vred den lite för att anpassa den till hjärtats form, och lade den bakom “A”:et. Det sammansatta resultatet kan ses nedan.

Det såg lovande ut, men det som slog mig var om inte ros-designen riskerade att göra helheten lite för plottrig – något som också påpekades av andra på det här stadiet. För att prova om det kunde bli så, gjorde jag ett slags test för färgläggningen, och lade på ett slags färgutkast på emblemet med hjälp av mangapennor.

Det där färgtestet förelades för Alma själv, och hon var positiv men fick också en del nya idéer vilka framgår av anteckningarna på utkastbladet. Som svar på det uppehöll jag mig därför vid en mängd varianter, av vilka flera inte var oävna. En av dem, det avskalade hjärtat med rosorna inritade i själva A:et, var till exempel en kul variant, och jag jobbade också med lite olika mer enhetliga färgskalor. Den och några andra exempel kan ses nedan.

#gallery-0-5 { margin: auto; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-item { float: left; margin-top: 10px; text-align: center; width: 33%; } #gallery-0-5 img { border: 2px solid #cfcfcf; } #gallery-0-5 .gallery-caption { margin-left: 0; } /* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes/media.php */

Fristående Hjärta

Rosa Emblem

Rosa Hjärta

I slutändan föredrog dock Alma själv det fullständiga emblemet. Allt som allt verkade det totala intrycket hålla måttet och vara tillräckligt tydligt och distinkt i sina skilda element, inte minst tack vare att Almas angivna färgskala som kontrasterade väl med det gröna för växtligheten. Med Almas anvisningar ifråga om A:et i bakhuvudet gjordes denna mer distinkt från bakgrunden med hjälp av ljusare kanter och färgövergångar åt det rosa hållet. Det slutliga resultatet blev som nedan.

Det var passande att Alma fick fatta beslut om design och färgval ända in i slutet. På samma sätt som Julians sköld var det här ett samarbete, där man fick hedern att vara en slags barnmorska för att föda fram något som är mer än vad jag själv hade kunnat åstadkomma. Almas emblem bär på många symboler som kan tolkas på olika sätt och sättas i samband med hennes enastående person. A för hennes namn, står också för begynnelsen, för det första och främsta i tillvaron; kärlek och hjärta i alla dess innebörder frambärs av hjärtat självt, och rosorna. Sistnämna har dock också med sig sina taggar, vittnesbörd om att Alma inte bara är en sötnos utan kan sticka till, med ord såväl som handling. Det mönster hon valde är likaledes inte bara vackert och elegant, men syftar också till något otämjt, och ofjättrat. Och så vidare.

Min hyllning är den hursomhelst, att den må bringa behag för dina ögon

För dig Alma.

Top 5 Music Videos of the Week: Stolar, Nadia Reid + more

Hello there, music video fans. We’re back for another week bringing you the brightest, the best and the weirdest videos to escape their cages and make it to the surface world before their creators got the blast doors down. Let’s see what this week holds for us.

  5. Pissed Jeans — “The Bar is Low”

Given that I restarted this column after America began its new abusive relationship with fascism, I’ve been somewhat at a loss for light-hearted fare. “The Bar is Low,” however, is a welcome pick-me-up. Director Joe Stakun guides Pissed Jeans through the most intense, and yet clearly weakest work-out routine ever, something that gets more heated and hilarious when rival gym members show up to flex and lift bro. It’s a tongue-in-cheek jab at workout culture and toxic masculinity, and the members of the band are stellar at playing it absolutely straight. Oh, and it ends with hugs, so there’s your feel-good moment of the day on top of that.

  4. Stolar — “Paralyzed”

“Paralyzed” from director Kevin Slack, is a bit more metaphysical, but undeniably beautiful. Interspersed with shots of Stolar singing, two models dance as dust cakes their bodies. It’s sort of Rebekka Karijord’s “Use My Body While It’s Still Young” meets Katie Herzig’s “Walk Through Walls,” and the result is truly a treat for the eyes and the ears.

  3. Birdeatsbaby — “Eulogy”

Birdeatsbaby is a band that I haven’t checked in with in a while, and that’s a really a shame. “Eulogy,” is bleak and compelling. The execution is slightly amateurish, but it nevertheless manages to engross a viewer in singer Mishkin Fitzgerald drunken descent into hopelessness following the death of a loved one. The mix of lively crowd scenes, cemetery monuments, and empty beaches is haunting, and Fitzgerald’s tragic self-destruction leads us through every moment with painful glory.

  2. Nadia Reid — “The Arrow and the Aim”

Here’s another for the “I want to be sad and disturbed” crowd, of which I am a card-carrying member. It’s hard to describe exactly what’s happening in director Julian Vares’ video here, but it seems to be a man stumbling across the scene of a murder from long ago. It’s unsettling the way a David Lynch film is, and leaves you with the same unanswered question you started with. As a momentary musical glimpse into something terrible, though? It’s tops.

  1. Open Mike Eagle & Paul White — “Dang is Invincible”

Let’s end on a fun note with this animated video from director Alex Pierre. It’s a cross-over vehicle starring Noul from Skeletonblood, and has her on a metaphorical stream-of-consciousness adventure through the subway. Anxieties and a search for peace are portrayed as an anime-style quest, and every second is a high-octane bundle of joy. There really need to be more videos like “Dang is Invincible” in the world.
