Folding @ Home against COVID-19

Michael Neighbourly Lead from Roslyn - Terrace End

For those of us with a PC and always on connection to the internet.
We can actually help with finding a cure and battling the Virus.

I recommend anyone who has an Always On internet connection and doesn't have to pay for data caps. Please download and install this program.

foldingathome.org...

The way it works is that Folding uses some of your PC's computing power and helps to simulate the folding or unfolding of proteins in order to map how they will react. This allows for labs to try and find ways to battle a wide range of diseases like COVID-19.

If you have a working PC, the net and no data cap then please pitch in by getting the program and let your PC help fight for the cures for a range of ailments.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Working pool pumps

Traci from Highbury - Westbrook

Has the above ground pool had it but the pump still works? I would like to buy it from you for a reasonable price. Any size considered. Cheers
