Choice News Tuesday: Little spotted kiwi rediscovered on mainland Aotearoa
Kiwi pukupuku (the little spotted kiwi) have been rediscovered in the wild on mainland Aotearoa New Zealand for the first time in five decades!

The pukupuku is the smallest and one of the most vulnerable kiwi species. Only around 2000 birds remain on offshore islands and predator-free sanctuaries, and are the descendants of just 5 birds which had been translocated to Kapiti Island from South Westland in 1912.
The March discovery in the remote Adams Wilderness Area, on the West Coast, is definitely choice news.
Ka pai to the amazing investigation team: DOC biodiversity ranger Iain Graham and his conservation dog, Brew!
We hope this news brings a smile!
Two Gilt Framed Tondo Mirrors
Two identical round mirrors, straight out of the box, never used, as good as the day they were bought. The diameter or length across from one side to the other is 80cm.
$50 each, or both for $80.
Four Lamp Shades
Four lovely lamp shades, in good condition but they do need a good clean. One has a crack on the bottom, as shown in the picture.
Give me whatever you think they’re worth.
Radio and Tape/Cassette Deck
If anyone needs an old, but still working well, radio cassette deck, this unit is from 1986, bought in Australia, and little used in recent times. The radio and tape deck both still work fine, the speakers are detachable, and there is even a jack so you can input music from another device.

Leaf Vacuum (rather than a leaf blower)
Has been sitting in the garage for a while, but still functions perfectly well, and does a good job sucking up leaves. The front is on a wheel to help support the weight, which makes it lighter and easy to use.
Computer Desk
Needs a good clean, but will come up well. On rollers. Must collect and take away. Free!!
Old Church Pedal Organ / Harmonium
Has been in a wet garage and is not in very good condition at all, so either a do-up job or maybe good for spare parts. If no one wants it, I’ll break it into pieces and dump it, but hopefully someone can take better care of it than I, and restore it to its playing days.

Urgent Help Required: Sponsorship Request - Championing David’s Pathway to Success at the World Stage !!
Tēnā koe (Hi) Everyone,

I trust this request finds you well.
I am writing to seek your support for my sponsorship request.
I am an Old Boy of Auckland Grammar, as well as I am an alpine skier who began with Special Olympics New Zealand and now proudly represent New Zealand under Virtus International, which is the global governing organisation for elite athletes with an intellectual impairment.
Paralympics NZ is the affiliated national member organisation for Virtus in New Zealand, overseeing the elite sporting pathways and developmental opportunities for eligible athletes.
Furthermore, I have been officially endorsed and classified within Virtus Sports International to represent New Zealand at the upcoming Virtus World Winter Games early next year, where I am the only athlete competing in Alpine Skiing under this classification at present.
Notably, I was a Double Gold Medallist at the 2007 and 2011 Special Olympics National Winter Games and a nominee for the 2009 Special Olympics World Winter Games held in Boise, Idaho, as a non-travelling reserve.
Moreover, I represented the Country at the 2013 Special Olympics World Winter Games in PyeongChang, South Korea, where he was placed 6th in the Super Giant Slalom and 7th in the Giant Slalom. Moreso, I won a Bronze medal in the Slalom event.
Thus, I remain fully committed to my ongoing training and physical conditioning, with the goal of representing New Zealand to the highest standard so I can bring home a medal from the upcoming Virtus World Winter Games.
I sincerely hope that you can support me financially and partner with me as a sponsor for my intended duration in Queenstown for the winter season. On that note, I will be competing at the upcoming New Zealand Open Para National Champs, held in Cardrona, which will enable me to gain valuable experience in NZ. Here is the link to the event details: www.snowsports.co.nz....
Hence, I have to leave Auckland soon for my participation and training for the NZ Open Para National Champs.
In light of the above, if you are a corporate company or an organisation that is willing to assist me in this request of mine, I would be happy to put your logo on all my gear to show my gratitude for your support, alongside that of my sponsored hotel. Please send me a private message accordingly.
Thus, I remain fully committed to my ongoing training and physical conditioning, with the goal of representing New Zealand to the highest standard so I can bring home a medal from the upcoming Virtus World Winter Games.
On that note, it would be great to have your backing in supporting me financially, by enabling me to represent our country on the International stage.
Please kindly support me in this request of mine, by heading to my Give a Little page via this link: givealittle.co.nz... .
I would greatly appreciate any financial or other support you can offer to help me pursue my pathway as an elite athlete.
Thank - you.

In this article, Amelia Wade reports on what it’s like to seek employment when you’re 50+. Many factors - from financial to social pressures - are keeping people in the workforce longer.
