Know the signs of a stroke

Stroke Foundation

During this time of COVID-19, it’s important we remember the different signs of stroke and that stroke is always a medical emergency.

One New Zealander every hour experiences stroke. But if you think F.A.S.T. you could save someone’s life and give them the best chance of recovery.

During this time of COVID-19, it’s important we remember the different signs of stroke and that stroke is always a medical emergency.

One New Zealander every hour experiences stroke. But if you think F.A.S.T. you could save someone’s life and give them the best chance of recovery.

F - Face - Is it drooping on one side?
A - Arm - Is one arm weak?
S - Speech - Is it mixed up, slurred or lost?
T - Take Action - Call 111 immediately.

Think F.A.S.T., act fast, and keep looking out for each other.

Thank you, from the Stroke Foundation of New Zealand.

Send a Level 3 Love Letter to someone you miss

Stacey Reporter from Stuff

Hi Neighhours,

Hi Neighhours,

It's been a tough last few weeks, right? When life gets hard and the world gets scary, it's our loved ones we turn to for support.

But this extraordinary coronavirus pandemic is different. Many of us can't see our most special friends and whānau because we want to keep them safe, and we want to get through this as a nation by following social distancing and Covid-19 Alert Level 3 rules.

While thousands of people are returning to work, visiting friends and family outside of your bubble may still be off the cards for some time longer.

Do you have a message for someone you can't see in person? A shout out to a sibling or best friend? A much-loved and missed grandparent? A new baby you need to virtually cuddle?

Level 3 Love Letters is an opportunity to share a video message for a loved one on Stuff.

You can upload your video here so we can share it with them and New Zealand

Buy New Zealand Made ? What Is That ?

On Stuff this morning are 2 Buy New Zealand Made stories . Importing is more difficult , people are losing their jobs , we are all in this together , they are just like me -- all statements that make you feel good , with good intentions .

Two examples that are listed . Firstly , Red Band Gumboots and $289 tramping shoes . It is 30 years since I climbed Mt Te Aroha , so my tramping consists of walking from the Car Park to the supermarket or hairdresser or parts supplier . So I will most likely buy $40 sturdyish boots from K Mart . Gumboots once every 3 or 4 years when I go to Fieldays , and 2 or 3 times when I trim trees . Too uncomfortable to mow the lawn in . So I'll go with the $25 cheap n nasties .

The other story though , even blurrier ! Buy N Z Made beer . Craft beer . At $5 a bottle . Sure , it contains hints of the Alps with a crisp spiral accent of lavender and the nose of a bovine relocation establishment , combined with a heady aftertaste of combustible automotive propulsion juice . Yep , can hardly wait .

Apparently Lion and DB are owned by seperate Japanese companies , so we can't have that , can we . The beers generally are great ( and get better the more you have haha ) , they are $1.25 a stubbie at the superdupermarket , BUT they employ 1000's of New Zealanders , and they 'support' the hospitality industry ( yes , it is a 2 way street , but a lot of bars wouldn't exist without the big breweries help ) .

My attitude ( once I realised that buying from The Warehouse was the most expensive way of buying something ) has been that I buy what I consider the best value for money FOR ME . Something I use a lot , I buy the best I can , no matter whether it is imported or NZ made . Something that isn't used much , but is handy , I buy cheap to mid-range .

I am unlikely to change . Will you buy more NZ made ? Do you consider foreign owned companies but with products made by NZers N Z Made ?
