A video created in celebration of New Zealand Sign Language Week. The video was part of a series that taught simple sentences in Sign Language and invited people to win a prize by guessing the words being signed. The videos were posted by All Right? to their Facebook Timeline on 16 May 2014 at 10:55am, and to their YouTube account on 15 May 2014.

A photograph of an All Right? corflute sign decorating a cordon fence in Oxford. The All Right? corflute sign is from phase 2 of the All Right? campaign, which sought to promote the 'Five Ways To Wellbeing' by asking simple, open-ended questions related to wellbeing. The Oxford Town Hall is in the background. All Right? posted the photograph on their Facebook page on 23 October 2013 at 12.50pm.

Well-validated liquefaction constitutive models are increasingly important as non-linear time history analyses become relatively more common in industry for key projects. Previous validation efforts of PM4Sand, a plasticity model specifically for liquefaction, have generally focused on centrifuge tests; however, pore pressure transducers installed at several free-field sites during the Canterbury Earthquake Sequence (CES) in Christchurch, New Zealand provide a relatively unique dataset to validate against. This study presents effective stress site response analyses performed in the finite difference software FLAC to examine the capability of PM4Sand to capture the generation of excess pore pressures during earthquakes. The characterization of the subsurface is primarily based on extensive cone penetration tests (CPT) carried out in Christchurch. Correlations based on penetration resistances are used to estimate soil parameters, such as relative density and shear wave velocity, which affect liquefaction behaviour. The resulting free-field FLAC model is used to estimate time histories of excess pore pressure, which are compared with records during several earthquakes in the CES to assess the suitability of PM4Sand.
