Our universe is filled with awesome wonders. There are billions of galaxies, each containing billions of stars.
The Origin of Universe explores origins and the two competing worldviews; the naturalistic worldview and the biblical worldview. Experts address several scientific challenges to the Big Bang, but also focus on the naturalistic view as a philosophy rather than just data.

Hi neighbours. It's said that tough times bring out the best in humanity, and that is certainly the case when it comes to our essential workers.
Counties Manukau Police have sung the praises of one of their cleaners, Rose, two days after she received a special mention from Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern for her work during the coronavirus pandemic.
Rose has been working 13-hours days to keep the Ōtahuhu Police Station safe and clean.
"We really value Rose along with everyone else who come to work each day to look after us and enable us to work in our communities," police said on Facebook,
"Rose is a friend to everyone at Ōtāhuhu Station and we couldn't be more proud of her."
Who would you like to thank for their efforts during these trying times?

Stabbing staff with scissors, masturbating, being drunk and having sex are just some of the reasons why 310 people were booted and banned from Auckland Council libraries in the last four years.

Stabbing staff with scissors, masturbating, being drunk and having sex are just some of the reasons why 310 people were booted and banned from Auckland Council libraries in the last four years.

The majority of the trespasses were for threatening behaviour (51), abusive behaviour (41), theft (33), graffiti tagging (14) and intoxication (nine).

Five people were trespassed from several libraries for multiple offences or where serious types of offending posed significant risk to staff at other sites. Three people were banned from all libraries for offences listed in the article below.

Despite this, an Auckland Council spokeswoman said its libraries were safe and welcoming for Aucklanders wanting to connect, read and learn, and trespass notices were issued in "rare and isolated cases, with no evident patterns". Library staff were trained in conflict awareness.

We’ve been privileged to help Kiwis get the essentials needed to work, study, and stay connected. It’s led to huge demand and some orders are taking longer to deliver. We’d really like to apologise to the customers who’ve experienced these delays.

To help get it sorted faster we’ve quadrupled our Customer Care team, and expanded our order fulfilment network so we can get thousands more orders delivered each day. Plus our remote Tech Solutions service will be free until May 11 to lend customers a hand with technology advice or setting up.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’re getting there.
