Our meeting has two topics.
First is a demonstration of how to make DNA using the ordinary kitchen equipment you can find in a church kitchen. While we are making the DNA - it is a fascinating demonstration - we will discuss some of the current ethical issues and concerns around genetic engineering.
The presenter is lay preacher Graeme Finlay. Graeme has a PhD in cell biology. He worked with Auckland Cancer Society Research Laboratory on anticancer drug development for 20 years. He has just retired from lecturing on General Pathology in the Dept of Molecular Medicine and Pathology, Auckland. He also has an interest in theology with a BTh from the University of South Africa.
Second is a short presentation of the A1 and A2 poster prints by David Bell for the upcoming video on Herman Hesse's poem The Glass Bead Game.
You can check the prints with associated overview at the link below
A selection is being prepared for publication in the SMN journal Paradigm Explorer.
Also: a timely background read in our era of the Covid-19 pandemic, attached.

Auckland Council is forecast to take a 1 billion dollar revenue hit because of COVID-19.
This 10-year budget aims to find a balance between investing in our city and not overburdening our residents.
It will provide for our city’s future while keeping our rates increases low compared to other growth cities in New Zealand, will help Auckland’s economy recover, support our communities, build water and housing infrastructure and improve our transport network.
We need your feedback on these issues and how we pay for them.

Sometimes you just need a helping hand 🤚 Our helping hand service is flexible, customisable ‘cleaning + so much more’ Service, your skilled and vetted To-Do Guru will visit each week and tick off the yucky, mundane, don’t-have-time, never-turns-out-right, can’t-be-bothered tasks on your to-do list that probably includes a whole lot more than just cleaning.
We understand there’s also the laundry, making beds, cleaning the cat’s water bowl, tidying the kids’ toys. And don’t forget preparing dinner and organising the linen closet.
You can edit your list before each visit, rotate tasks or ask for special requests.

Here's some ideas for ways you could get involved:
• swap seeds with a neighbour
• gift a plant you've grown to a neighbour
• take some flowers to a neighbour
• organise a produce swap
• share garden tips or recipes for food in season
• create community gardens or berm pollinator pathways
• host an inclusive garden-themed working bee
• a friendly neighbourhood BBQ with homegrown ingredients
The options are endless! At the end of the day, our shared aim is to help bring people together by encouraging intentional connection with our neighbours. Whether that be organising a street party, sharing a cuppa, or simply saying ‘Kia Ora!” to those who live around you, every action helps to create a safer and more connected New Zealand.

There are three community cases, two siblings who are students at Papatoetoe High School, and their household contact.
There was also one new case in MIQ on Wednesday.
Schools in Auckland can reopen. But Papatoetoe High School will remain closed for the rest of the week.
Teachers and students from that school must return a negative test before returning next week.
Covid-19 alert level 3 took effect in Auckland at 11.59pm on Sunday
The Government is making it easier for businesses to get one of its support measures - if current alert levels are extended.
People identified as contacts or who were at the locations of interest are being asked to get tested.
