Also had an email from "Amazon" about my account being "suspended" due to mismatched billing information. It looked legir but it had some weird typo glitch in it that made me delete it immediately.

These large invasive birds are a problem in the Wellington region because they eat and destroy newly germinated seedlings, which sometimes means entire crops need to be re-sown.

For the month of October, we want to see how you tackle emergency preparedness. From getting first aid training and stocking up on essentials to putting together a grab n’ go bag or working with your neighbours to create a neighbourhood resillience plan, a little bit of planning goes a long way to make sure you and your community can get through any situation. Joining or setting up a Neighbourhood Support group is a great way to keep in touch and work together to reach out, look out and help out one another no matter what life may bring.
Don’t forget! This month also coincides with New Zealand’s national earthquake drill and tsunami hikoi, ShakeOut, which will be taking place on Thursday, October 28th at 9:30am.
Let us know how you’re getting prepared this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to: info@neighbourhoodsupport.co.nz

Our changing climate poses risks to our natural and built environments. Swiss Re in a global analysis of insurance risk said to “expect climate risks to raise global property premiums by 33-41% between 2020 and 2040”. The potential increase was deemed a direct consequence of our changing climate.
Our Climate Insights property report provides easily understood information on change to risks for your current or a future property. The report includes robust and actionable information for residential property owners, tenants and investors to enhance their property’s climate resilience.

I bought an item that was faulty. after 6 months (approximately) toing and froing on phone and e-mail, they agreed to refund the item. continuing interactions got me just stalling from them. two years later they still haven't refunded me. There is no disagreement to take to the small claims tribunal, as they have agreed to refund the purchase price. They just have not done so.
In checking with the Justice Department and Consumer Affairs, there doesn’t seem to be any mechanism to compel payment.
BRIAN.
Dear neighbours and gardeners,
Here's another great project from our DIY guru Jacob Leaf.
