Leaking cylinders

Clearly they can’t afford to compensate all those owners faced with sudden bills of $2000 or much higher, there is no way to exclude spurious claims, but perhaps they may consider allowing the ratepayers to append the bill onto their rates, to be paid off over time. Or perhaps they could tap* WaterNZ, who instigated the whole charade, for a substantial contribution. As experts in chlorination WaterNZ must have known irreparable damage to many cylinders would be inevitable.

Friends, I have 2 things to share with you.
1. Indian Newslink Community Award.
I was proud and humbled to receive an award in October for the community work in Christchurch. Almost all other awardees were from the north island, so it was quite an honour to be recognised there and represent not only Christchurch but the South Island.
The bonus was that I received the award at the hands of Blackcap Jeet Raval, also of Indian ethnicity. Attached here is the photo taken by the official photographer.

Indian Newslink is an English fortnightly published from Auckland since 1999, both as an on-line and print version. They run business awards as well as sports and community awards.

2. Lottery Committee. I have been appointed by Department of Internal Affairs on two of the Lottery funding committees, namely:
- Lottery Significant Projects Fund
- Lottery Community Facilities Fund
I was at Wellington recently to attend the first (training) meeting. There are 4 other members - 2 from DIA, 1 from Auckland (of Chinese ethnicity) and 1 from Gisborne (Maori). I feel honoured and privileged to 'represent' Christchurch / South Island at these funding committees.

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

While Jill Murphy was sitting at a cafe down with her partner and two-year-old daughter, a woman at the next table sighed loudly and said in a dismayed tone: "People want to go out and enjoy their food, you know. They don't want to have to put up with children."

She wrote in her opinion piece that she felt guilty for ruining everyone's lunch. To read more about her experience, click here.

Contact Elusion Electrical for a quote on LED lights either in a existing or new house. We use quality LED lights including the sleep LED with health benefits.

Exposure to sunlight during the day helps maintain healthy sleep patterns. But too much high energy visible light late at night disrupts this cycle, causing sleepless nights and daytime fatigue. This is often because our homes are full of light that disrupts the release of melatonin, the hormone that naturally regulates sleep.

The EVE G4, IRIS TILT and IRIS 2 SLEEP LED products have been designed to significantly reduce parts of the light spectrum that inhibit melatonin release, thereby assisting the body to sleep. The sleep LED light output and colour appears as a standard light, but the inhibiting high intensity light wavelength peaks are absent.
