Description: How have spy thrillers as we know them developed? This survey of spy thriller fiction published between 1880 and 2000 sets the books in their historical context and shows how they reflect the politics of the time in which the books were published. Spy thrillers also document our own social history and reveal many important issues for us to think about. We will look at the role women characters play in spy fiction and think about why the villains in spy fiction are usually Russian.

Lest we forget...

The Team from NZ Compare

"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them."

Don't go old-school this winter and just throw on another jersey to beat the cold. You deserve to be truly comfortable in a warm, dry home without stressing about power bills.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau, at www.warmerkiwihomes.govt.nz

Do you see signs of a squeezed rural economy?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Tractor sales have shot up for a second-hand farm machinery dealer.

It's good news for Morrinsville's Steve Elgar but he says farmers look for second-hand gear when times get tougher. However, not all businesses were noticing sales were worse.

Butyrate is a short-chain fatty acid that is produced by certain gut bacteria when they ferment dietary fibre (prebiotics) ⭐️
We need to eat foods that are rich in these prebiotic fibres so that we promote the growth of butyrate-producing bacteria in the gut.
Such foods include🌿:
Whole grains: Oats, barley, quinoa, and brown rice.
Fruits and vegetables: Especially those that are high in soluble fiber such as apples, bananas, berries, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes and leafy greens.
Legumes: Beans, lentils, and peas are all excellent sources of dietary fibre.
Nuts and seeds: Almonds, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and pumpkin seeds are all high in fibre.
Fermented foods: Sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, and yoghurt are all sources of probiotics, which can help promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria that produce butyrate.
Resistant starch: This type of starch is resistant to digestion and can be found in foods such as green bananas, uncooked oats and cooked and cooled potatoes.
Other short chain fatty acids that are important for our gut health (and are also stimulated through good prebiotic-rich diet) include propionate and acetate.
