In an announcement made on Saturday morning, Thomson said collaboration with other councils to deliver rubbish and recycling services might work for Hamilton - and it would at least be worth investigating to see if it would be cheaper than the current model.

Because it’s been seen so rarely, scientists still know very little about it. But its striking features are already sparking debate about whether it should be given special protection, and some have even argued it could become an icon species for Papua New Guinea.
At a time when we so often hear about species disappearing, the return of this little shark is a reminder that nature can surprise us ... and that there’s always reason to hope.

Some rosary beads, an embroidered handkerchief, and a handwritten letter.
For many of us such things are ordinary bric-a-brac - the kind of items that clutter our drawers and fill old shoeboxes with the miscellanea of life. For Hamilton mayoral candidate Rachel Karalus, their value is immense.

Developers say the headcount — on site and across suppliers — underlines the project’s role as one of the CBD’s biggest employers right now, and a bellwether for the city’s confidence.

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 ...
