Jasmin McArdle, 40, gave birth to her second child, son Teddy, on April 21 by emergency C-section. Soon after, headaches that she has always dealt with, became more painful.

Do you know of any unique places of worship in Auckland? Perhaps you have a special area in your home where your family meets to pray, or the way you cook and meet people is shaped by your faith? How does your faith help you through challenging times?
I'd love to hear from people of all religions - please email me a little bit about yourself at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz if you're interested in sharing.

Have you seen the arial photographs of the progress of construction on the major motorway project north of Auckland?
The Ōkahu Viaduct is a steel girder bridge that crosses Pūhoi Rd and Te Aqua Pūhoi.
Work is taking place near the Johnstones Hill tunnels, as part of the Ara Tūhono project that will extend the four-lane Northern Motorway (SH1) 18.5km from Pūhoi to just north of Warkworth, in a move aimed at improving road safety.
The motorway was scheduled to open at the end of 2021, but delays due to the coronavirus alert level 4 lockdown in April meant nearly five weeks of working time was lost.
Now, the new road is expected to be open in time for Queen’s Birthday weekend 2022. To read more, click here

We believe it's important to gain views from this demographic, which was often identified in the media as being most at risk and in need of protection, yet their views and experiences during this time remain largely unknown.
A team of researchers from the University of Auckland are gathering letters from older New Zealanders about their experiences of lockdown, to inform key research about government and media responses in the event of future pandemics. Some of the letters will be acquired by Auckland Museum to record this unique period in our history for years to come.
