Our universe is filled with awesome wonders. There are billions of galaxies, each containing billions of stars.
The Origin of Universe explores origins and the two competing worldviews; the naturalistic worldview and the biblical worldview. Experts address several scientific challenges to the Big Bang, but also focus on the naturalistic view as a philosophy rather than just data.

310 Aucklanders trespassed from libraries between Jan 2016 and Feb 2020

Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Stabbing staff with scissors, masturbating, being drunk and having sex are just some of the reasons why 310 people were booted and banned from Auckland Council libraries in the last four years.

Stabbing staff with scissors, masturbating, being drunk and having sex are just some of the reasons why 310 people were booted and banned from Auckland Council libraries in the last four years.

The majority of the trespasses were for threatening behaviour (51), abusive behaviour (41), theft (33), graffiti tagging (14) and intoxication (nine).

Five people were trespassed from several libraries for multiple offences or where serious types of offending posed significant risk to staff at other sites. Three people were banned from all libraries for offences listed in the article below.

Despite this, an Auckland Council spokeswoman said its libraries were safe and welcoming for Aucklanders wanting to connect, read and learn, and trespass notices were issued in "rare and isolated cases, with no evident patterns". Library staff were trained in conflict awareness.

We’ve been privileged to help Kiwis get the essentials needed to work, study, and stay connected. It’s led to huge demand and some orders are taking longer to deliver. We’d really like to apologise to the customers who’ve experienced these delays.

To help get it sorted faster we’ve quadrupled our Customer Care team, and expanded our order fulfilment network so we can get thousands more orders delivered each day. Plus our remote Tech Solutions service will be free until May 11 to lend customers a hand with technology advice or setting up.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’re getting there.

Counties Manukau Health to move to telephone appointments.

We are now switching to telephone outpatient clinic consultations from healthcare providers at Middlemore Hospital and the other clinic sites such as Manukau, Botany or Pukekohe clinics.

Please do not come to clinic appointments unless we contact you by phone.
You should only come to your outpatient clinic appointment if you have received a telephone call advising you to come.

Patients who have not been advised to come to the clinic will be sent a text or we will telephone you to advise an approximate time we will call – for example, sometime between 10-11am or 2-3pm.

However, if the doctor, nurse or therapist decides a face to face consultation is required, this will be arranged with staff wearing the appropriate clothing.

These telephone consultations are designed to keep everyone safe from
potentially catching the Coronavirus (Covid-19).
