Kauri are one of the largest and oldest living organisms on earth and they may vanish forever with the onset of the Dieback disease. The last of our greatest natural treasures are rapidly disappearing. Te Mauri o te Kauri ‘The Life-force of the Kauri’ is an exploration of Kauri ecology and the role this giant tree plays in forest ecosystems. The film explores natural history and cultural perceptions, expressing the life-force of this magnificent tree so that people can understand it better and see the forest in a different way.
Weaving stories from Māori and Pakeha Scientists, mingling the concepts of cultures to show how they complement each other and shape our understanding of the environment, this film takes us on a journey through the Kauri lifecycle and exposes the imminent threat from the rampant disease that is wiping out the last remaining forest giants.

It's a busy rush-hour, and drivers are busy too - on their phones. Today, police are out to get them. "There's one down there now, look. See, in the car," says Sergeant Dave Townsend. "The phone was in his right hand and he was texting." Police are running the operation in the Mount Vic Tunnel. Sgt Townsend spots people using their phone and he calls it in.
"Female driver, phone right hand, appears to be texting," he tells his counterpart. Waiting for them at the other end with their license plate number and vehicle description is the rest of the police, ready to give them a ticket.
One driver caught is the chief executive of a government department, who did not want to be identified.
He questioned what the rules were for using a cellphone while driving. Another person caught says she was using her cellphone to play music. This will cost her $80 and 20 demerit points. Inspector Juliet Burgess says there is zero tolerance. "There's no excuse that's reasonable. They need to just put their cellphones away." It is coming up to 10 years since New Zealand banned using phones while driving - and the number of people caught has tripled.
It started with just over 8000 in 2010 before rising to a record 28,900 in 2016. And it's forecast to hit a record-high of more than 29,000 in 2019. It ends - and ruins - lives. This is the death toll: 41 people have been killed in phone-related accidents since the ban came in. Another 109 have been seriously injured. Then there is the inconvenience it can cause. Police are blaming phone-related minor crashes as a major cause of rush-hour gridlock. "We get a lot of nose to tail crashes on the state highway going out of Wellington, a lot of those are caused by distraction, and that can hold the whole city up for hours," Sgt Townsend says.
So what do we do about breaking this addiction?
=======================================
Let's start with the fine of $80. In the United Kingdom - it's the equivalent of a $370 fine - and you lose half your demerit points in one go. In the state of British Columbia in Canada, it's a $620 fine. In Australia, Queensland is planning a $1040 fine - and on the second infringement, you lose your licence. We asked the Government what it's doing to get people off their phones while driving. The answer is not a lot. Associate Transport Minister Julie Anne Genter says they will be "consulting early next year" on fines.

I’m an avid jigsaw puzzle fan and I’ve got some puzzles already done and glued together. I wanted to frame them and put them up at work for our residents (rest home & hospital) but my workplace is having a makeover of the place and they’re getting nice frames for the whole facility. So I was wondering if there are people who are interested to have them. I usually buy the frame at Kmart which costs $15 each. I’m going to put a sample of the framed puzzle I have at home and the rest of the photos that’s don’t have frames are the ones up for grabs. By the way, these are 1000pc puzzles and sizes of the puzzles are posted in each photo. Sorry, the post doesn’t allow me to post a lot of photos so I had to put them in a collage. Comment or message me at 0223203470 if you are interested. Pick up in Te Atatu South. Thank you! 😊.
P. S. If you’ve got some 1000 pc or more jigsaw puzzles you don’t need or you’d like me to finish and glued together, let me know and I’d be happy to do them for you. 😊
Can make several from this one plant. Must be removed by Saturday or it’s going to the tip

This article (see link below) is well worth a read.
There are far too many rules, PC police around the corner and still in this day and age, we are starving, our friends are going hungry, our children are starving. They going with out the basic stables to keep on living a healthy life.
Yet, the supermarkets, the restaurants, the fast food outlets etc ... continually throw away perfectly good, healthy food.
To me, this is totally unacceptable. We are throwing away more that we are consuming, both in the supermarkets etc ... and our homes.
I remember when baking our own bread, cakes etc .. was cheaper than buying, not so much now.
Buying healthy food is far more expensive than buying fast food and/or unhealthy options. WHY?
I know that I went slightly off course with the last two sentences, but this whole topic really gets my blood boiling, the waste, the expense - EVERYTHING.
Our friends, our families, our neighbourhoods are hungry - let's do something.
