New Zealanders' identities are no longer just invested in items like jandals, the Buzzy Bee, or hokey pokey ice-cream.

Instead, according to an Auckland University of Technology study, Kiwis' modern identity is changing – and it's Māori culture, wine, oysters, flat whites, and the silver fern that's on the way in.

Peppa Pig stage show

Albert from Wigram

Hi does anyone have any unwanted or spare tickets to the free Peppa Pig stage show? Would love to have them. Could even trade something or pay a small fee for them.
Peppa Pig is my daughter's favorite thing but missed out on tickets as they were gone within 10 minutes and I was working.

After his brother and partner in the family construction business died by suspected suicide, Chris Hughes wasn't sure what to tell his staff.

The construction sector has one of the highest suicide rates of any sector in New Zealand. Hughes says asking for help went against macho and "tough guy" attitudes in the industry.

He wants to know how we change that.

Qigong is the foundation to taiji (taichi). It is relatively simpler than taiji and has more healing than taiji.
Qigong includes dynamic and static forms.
Zhineng Qigong emphasises moving meditation rather than static meditation. It uses the consciousness, body, breath, sound vibration and universal Qi (energy) to bring about positive transformation of the body, mind and spirit.

Regular practice can improve your health, immune system, spine, pelvic floor muscles, core strength, serenity, relaxation and inner joy.
