Pendulum Wave

Jeanette from Half Moon Bay

During Covid lockdown I made a pendulum wave as shown in the video. Before I dismantle it maybe there is a person or local school who would like this. It can still be improved on with a bit of tweeking and great for physics students. It is free . Phone me 0274984764

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind. We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.

Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.

Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed.

Keyboards master on East FM, Saturday from 3pm...

He’s a musician’s musician, Liam Ryan, and getting NZ Music Month off on the right note it’s a pleasure to have him as featured artist on tomorrow’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, 3-7pm (NZ time, May 6) on East FM.
There are many musician's musicians in this musically lush wetland, and Liam Ryan easily fits that billing, having played keys with everyone. And of retirement age, there’s no sign of him slowing up soon. He’s just played with nine different bands and musical line-ups over the summer period. You don’t get more in-demand than that.
For beginners, he was in The Narcs, and has played with Midge Marsden for more than 40 years and Rodger Fox Big Band for a dozen.
He continues to release very cool and interesting solo albums, and is playing, recording and producing with artists such as Amin Yossef, Sarah Spicer and Evan Silva.
There’s also his long official association with the National Jazz Festival Tauranga, as a music educator, and management of the National Youth Jazz Competition, so there is plenty to chat about his career in music in a phone interview chat at 4pm. His website is www.torchmusic.co.nz...
We’ll play plenty of music Liam has been associated with, and that means lots of different styles. And because it’s NZ Music Month, we’re only playing Kiwi music on She’ll Be Right Shows through May.
East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. And this Saturday, it’s with great respect that we celebrate Liam Ryan Day. – PJ (actually me, human created content; not robot…)
