Our short haired birman cat, Yoshi, has gone missing from Garden Lane in Torbay.
He is a ten year old male, quite timid when faced with people he doesn't know, and can't stand loud noises.
For any sightings or information please call Kevin on 0274587251 or Colleen on 0272613664.

We are currently looking for individuals who may have elevated blood sugar level (prediabetes) to participate in the study to see if antioxidant-rich plant extracts may help improve blood sugar levels.

Importance of this research:
An estimated 670, 000 New Zealanders have prediabetes, and many others are unaware of the condition. Prediabetes is a state higher than normal blood sugar level, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. However, people with prediabetes are at high risk of becoming diabetic. We are examining how nutrition such as antioxidant-rich plant extracts can prevent the progression towards diabetes.
How do you know you are at risk?
You should be tested for prediabetes if you have any of the following:
1. obesity (BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more if you are Indo-Asian)
2. family history of early age onset of type 2 diabetes in more than one first degree relative (parent, brother or sister)
3. a woman who has had gestational diabetes
4. high blood pressure or cardiovascular disease (conditions affecting your heart and blood vessels)
You may have a quick check in the link to see if you are at risk: diabetesauckland.org.nz...
If you think you are at risk and would like to participate in the study, we would like to invite you over for a screening at your convenient time. The study requires four mornings and each session takes approximately 3 hours. You will be able to do your own work during this time. We are flexible with the time you can come for the study sessions. The study is also available on weekends. Free free to ask any questions too!
Backing projects that improve the look and feel of an area is important to Rodney communities and Rodney Local Board, which has recently approved design concepts and funding to beautify a public space in Warkworth and improve a main street in Helensville.
Hi neighbours. Two speed cameras in Rodney - Redvale and the Dome Forest - made it into last year's top 10 earners for speed cameras in New Zealand. Together, they raked in about $5.6 million.

Two speed cameras in Rodney - Redvale and the Dome Forest - made it into last year's top 10 earners for speed cameras in New Zealand. Together, they raked in about $5.6 million. Have you been pinged by these cameras? Where would you like to see speed cameras installed? Have you witnessed motorists driving at high speeds on these roads? Let us know in the comments.

This will be the third bus route introduced to Rodney by Auckland Transport and the Rodney Local Board, joining the 128 Helensville to Hibiscus Coast Station and the 998 Wellsford to Warkworth, which began operation in February.
I'd like to hear your thoughts on the new bus routes for a wider story on transport in north Auckland. How overdue are these services? Where are Rodney's transport gaps? Do you support the existence of a Rodney Transport Targeted Rate?

The light fantastic: Dizzying interactions between light and matter
Nature provides fascinating examples of nanotechnology, creating functional entities from the bottom-up; from molecules to materials & devices. But this is not the nanotechnology of miniature submarines and nano-bots; it is that of molecular biology, the wet nanotechnology of biopolymers and their assemblies. It is the nanotechnology of DNA condensation and transcription, of protein fibers and molecular motors. It is the physics of the nanoscale that is so elegantly exploited and Brownian motion that brings the dance to life.
In order to take a trip down the rabbit hole of such exquisite molecular machinery scientists need not only to see but also to feel the nanoworld. Optical tweezers (OT), for which Arthur Askin was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018, are one of the exciting tools that can be used to apply and measure minute forces, and they do so, not using tiny mechanical grippers, but using highly focused beams of light. The talk will describe how OT perform this remarkable task and our journey to implement them in order to stretch a single strand of DNA.
Movement controls will be reintroduced in Northcote following the detection of a further Queensland fruit fly.
If you are within the controlled areas there are restrictions on the movement of fruit and vegetables. Please check our website to see if you are within the new restricted zone.
