Research published this year has demonstrated that playing music helps keep dementia at bay - no matter how late in life the skill is picked up.
The basic idea behind this research is not new - we know that 'cognitive reserve' (learning new things) plays a big role in delaying mental slowdown. But the reminder that "it is never too late" is welcome ...
We hope this news brings a smile!
Hi everyone, I have just moved into a house and would like to know how much it would cost to have a cat door installed. I have the cat door, just need it put in. I have attached a couple of photos of where I would like it installed. The window is floor to ceiling so not sure if it can be done. … View moreHi everyone, I have just moved into a house and would like to know how much it would cost to have a cat door installed.

If you have house insurance that includes cover against damage by fire, … View more⚠️ If you do not have house insurance, you will not have cover against damage caused by a natural disaster. ⚠️
If you have home insurance with fire damage cover, you are covered for damage caused by natural hazards
If you have house insurance that includes cover against damage by fire, you will have cover for:
• your home
• buildings, such as garages
• some of the essential services, such as water, sewerage and power and
• some of your land.
Examples of natural hazards are earthquakes, tsunami, landslides and volcanic activity.
If your home and property is damaged by storms or flooding, you only have limited land cover. This means you will have to claim against your home insurance for damage to your home and other buildings.
If your house is damaged by a natural hazard you need to contact your insurer as soon as possible.
You need insurance documentation, and evidence to support your claim:
When you contact your insurer, tell them about the damage and confirm with them what documentation they need from you. For example, they will need your policy number.
Gather evidence to support your insurance claim:
• Take photos of any damage before you repair, move or remove anything, especially if you are disposing of it. Read the guidelines on taking photos as evidence:
www.naturalhazards.govt.nz...
• If you need to get urgent repairs done, talk to your insurer first to check whether your insurance policy will cover the costs. Take before and after photos, photograph anything which is being thrown away and keep a copy of the quotes and invoices for the repairs.
• Put off cleaning up at least until you have done the above (maybe wait until after the insurance assessor has visited). List and photograph the perishable items before you dispose of them. Learn about making urgent repairs and making your home safe: www.naturalhazards.govt.nz...
