There are different kinds of mattresses on the market but the most popular ones are the innerspring and the memory foam mattresses. Many people pick one of these for the utmost sleeping comfort. Now the question arises what’s the difference between both these mattresses and which one is supposed to be perfect for you?

This is playing with words trying to imply these chickens for slaughter are being grown under better or improved conditions. Broiler or table chickens have not had their living conditions improved they were never kept in cages that is laying hens only so the label “cage free” is just a marketing ploy addressed to customers to make them feel better about the chicken they are buying for eating not understanding what miserable lives broiler chickens “live”

Below are also a few other points we think you should know, so please scroll down.
1) The specific tracks that the council is looking to keep open when most of the forest is closed has been notably absent from the discussion. [EDIT: the map and list of tracks is available as part of the consultation, but you wouldn't know it was there until you filled out pages of information. You can download (a higher res version of) the map on Scribd here: tinyurl.com/WaitakTrackMap and the official list of tracks here: tinyurl.com/WaitakTrackList ] The map is attached to this post, with the blue tracks the ones that might stay open. The list of these tracks is cut and pasted below, with stars on those that are not yet up to standard, but hopefully will be by May 1:

2) You have to actually click on Submit Feedback on the council's Have Your Say section of its website to get more than a few sentences of explanation as to the situation. Go directly there with this link: tinyurl.com/ClosureFeedback
3) Te Kawerau ā Maki has issued a press release - effectively saying it is working with the council to ensure the council closures, future opens and its rāhui line up. It also clarified the rāhui extends to all forested areas in the heritage area and beyond, including the regional park, local parks and Goldies Bush. Private landowners in the area are also asked to act as guardians of their forest areas. See the full press release here: tinyurl.com/TeKawerauRelease. The list of tracks currently outside the rāhui is here: tinyurl.com/OutsideRahui
4) Kauri dieback is not just rife in the regional park but also in our local parks. It is present in at least six of 22 local parks in the Waitākere Ranges Local Board area: Taumatarea Esp, Marama Plantation, Mahoe Walk, Huia Scenic Reserve, Otitori Reserve and Bill Haresnape Walk. This information is based on 2012/13 data, so more of the 22 are likely impacted. The Waitākere Ranges Local Board has responsibility for these local parks and is working out what it should do. These forested areas fall under the rāhui.
5) The local board is upset that for the general public there are no public meetings planned, probably because of the tight time frame. People have to fill out the online submission - by March 19, 8pm. [Edit: there will be a drop-in session for questions on Friday, March 16, at Arataki Visitor Centre, from 10am – 2pm.]
