Hey neighbours,

All New Zealand police officers will receive new stab- and bullet-proof vests in a $20 million roll-out over the next three-and-a-half years.

The current vests - which were introduced in 2006 - are stab-proof, but special vests are worn by any officers involved in firearms call-outs.

They have passed their warranty, but remain "safe and fit for purpose", says Police Commissioner Mike Bush.

What do you think about the new armour? Are police officers safe using the current vests? Are you surprised the existing vests aren't stab- and bullet-proof?

Chinese New Year is a Chinese festival that celebrates the beginning of a new year on the traditional Chinese calendar.
The first day of Chinese New Year begins on the new moon that appears between 21 January and 20 February. In 2019, the first day of the Lunar New Year will be on Tuesday, 5 February, initiating the Year of the Pig.
己亥 (jǐhài) – The Earth Pig
°
The Pig (豬) is the twelfth of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. In the continuous sexagenary cycle, every twelfth year corresponds to hai, and is commonly called the Year of the Pig 豬. There are five types of Pigs, named after the Chinese elements. In order, they are: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, and Earth.
°
Did you know that the first toothbrushes had pig hairs?
°
The history of pig-bristle toothbrushes reaches back to around 1498 in China, the bristle brush spread to Europe and was adopted there.
°
Pig-hair toothbrushes sound weird to modern ears, in a time before products like nylon (which was invented in 1935 by a DuPont chemist) It wasn’t easy to find something that was stiff enough to brush your teeth but soft enough to not completely destroy your mouth. We are lucky that we can choose from a wide variety of brushes. By the way, we recommend small electric toothbrushes.
