Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a disabling and complex illness. People with ME/CFS are often not able to do their usual activities. At times, ME/CFS may confine them to bed....
Give up indiana. Many of us already have. IMO at the rate things are going, there will no-one left here by the time of the election - just a hollow echo chamber.

The NASA maps in the following link show the dramatic drop in air pollution over China as a result of the New Year holidays combined with the Covid 19 quarantine measures. Re air travel, obviously the drop in this will be contributing to this drop but the ...
Jones was on TV3's The Nation on Sat morning 29 Feb. The 4 day mission to India ended on Fri 28 Feb. Even if The Nation was pre-recorded (I think it is on the Friday afternoon), I have no doubt WP, DP and the whole team would have been in touch with their ...
Probably because Winston Peters and David Parker had just returned from a 4 day trade/business mission to India last week where as well as trade between NZ and India, the increases in services between the two countries were high on the agenda, including ...
Jesse Mulligan interviewed Prof Boston on RNZ National this afternoon - very interesting although I must relisten as I was interrupted by a visitor. Here is the link and audio - 16'13" minutes https://www.rnz.co.nz/national/programmes/afternoons/audio/...
Again, exactly. Very different situation to NZ.
LOL Luxembourg is 82km by 57km ie c 2586 sq km - compared to NZ at 268, 838 sq km. NZ is 104 times bigger than Luxembourg and their population is also much less at about 600,000 https://www.mylifeelsewhere.com/country-size-comparison/new-zealand/luxembourg
I know I posted this yesterday on OM 28 Feb, but some things are worth repeating - and updating - and I cannot resist! " Re Bridges resurrecting Key's 2008 hard on crime and gangs policy, Martyn Bradbury sometimes comes up with some memorable wordings and ...
Re Bridges resurrecting Key's 2008 hard on crime and gangs policy, Martyn Bradbury sometimes comes up with some memorable wordings and I just noticed the very appropriate title of one of his posts from yesterday that made me smile! "Dear National, 2008 ...
Exactly Rapunzel and Anne. That is where the contrast is to me between last week's meeting and Bridges' one last night. The earlier meeting was focussed on looking at the overall problem and situation - and the ways of solving or at the least reducing the ...
Thanks for that, Sacha. Richard's report and the TVNZ report and video put up by Anne @ 1.5.1 are well worth it for the insight into the mood etc of the meeting and the ugly reception received by Louise Hutchinson. However, I don't agree that the tough on ...
In the case of the Deputy PM's family, it was 11 - but doubt they were all eligible for the family benefit at any one time. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11927564
Thanks for the extra information, swordfish. Really appreciate it. I agree that it is probably "most useful / appropriate to focus on NZF’s two stints in Govt (though, of course, they were ailing third term administrations = so no perfect comparisons)". ...
Thanks for that, swordfish. Do you have similar information for NZF for the Colmar Brunton polls for 2011, 2014 and 2017? I would be interested to see whether the same trends happened then between the polls and election results - but only if you have the ...
I have not looked into what has happened on the electric vehicles proposal, but reading both the post above and a very quick look at the Stuff article, that may well be what NZF are proposing in saying that their Caucus thinks that "such a policy needed to...
oops - timed out before I could get rid of the extraneous quote mark.
"I'm guessing they don't mean a referendum. Peters is so full of shit sometimes." weka, you really need to learn a lot more about the other players in the NZ political environment, than just the Greens. Since 1993 when New Zealand First was first ...
LOLOL - that aspect did not even occur to me. Well spotted! Just as well I am well out of the days when I worked in the Justice sector!
I am not suggesting that prison meals are likely to be 'piping hot' as the Herald suggested re the Christmas gravy, but the kitchen faciities at larger prisons like Rimutaka are pretty good including in relation to food storage at different temperatures ...
We had plenty of problems in south Wellingotn long before 2013 - eg had a major one in my street just after I moved back in about 1994 and can recall problems elsewhere in the suburb continually since I've been back. Local plumbers (there are many) reckon ...
Most have fairly state of the art big (stainless steel) commercial kitchens - after all they feed (often) hundreds of people three plus meals a day, 7 days a week.
On reflection having reread the Herald report of last night’s meeting, I can now see why Bridges probably did not attend, or was perhaps not actually welcome to attend (?). According to the link in Cinny's post @ 3, last night's meeting seems to have been ...
IIRC (not from personal exerience behind bars!) the Christmas dinner is a bit of an exception to the usual menu . Is it still a weekly menu right across the prison system where "it is Wednesday, so its sausages tonight" - or whatever is the set meal for ...
Wellington Water is an amalgam at basically Regional Council level as you talk about in your last para. Not sure that I would hold them up as a shining example of anything quite frankly ... https://www.wellingtonwater.co.nz/about-us/history-of-wellington-...
adam Just wanted to say that I was not trying to also divert from Northland's problems which the post is about. I just was not prepared to let the remarks about Wellington's problems being "looming" go. Our problems down here are very much in the 'here and...
From you far offsite position in Queensland, RL, it may seem that "Wellington seems likely to struggle with it's own ageing infrastructure issues" and has "an expensive problem looming" – but from my position in the midst of it in south Wellington the ...
Totally hypocritical in view of the fact that Bridges has been screaming about gangs for months, including on Twitter and Facebook just a week ago re the gang problems in Tauranga. Back in Oct 2019 he was very vocal about opposing any talking with gangs, ...
Just because the SFO has only filed charges against four people so far, does not mean that they cannot file charges against other people as further evidence etc comes out through the court process in relation to the four people already charged. As we now ...
August is even closer! LOL
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
