What's your opinion on street art? Are there any spots in your community that could do with a mural?

What's your opinion on street art? Are there any spots in your community that could do with a mural?
Construction sites and other disused structures around Wellington are getting facelifts, with local artists putting their touch on areas in a state of flux.
Wellington based artists Xoë Hall, Miriama Grace-Smith and Gina Kiel make up part of the Love Local: City Artwork initiative, with their work set to add vibrancy to revamps around the city.
The collaboration between Wellington City Council and WellingtonNZ has $60,000 which covers printing, installation and commission.

Technically it is not a Feathered Friend but this a lovely pic from Rosa Marie after her recent visit to Zealandia. Weta used to be much more common, when was the last time you saw a weta in your garden?

It's a great printer but our inquisitive toddler damaged the transfer belt by taking the cartridges out and putting them back in repeatedly. This means that some of the colours are faded in vertical strips on the page, and there are occasional spots of black. It's not a big deal for most purposes. We ended up needing to upgrade to a scanner/copier anyway, so this is now surplus to requirements. We bought some replacement toner cartridges while trying to diagnose the problem, so there's plenty of toner to go with it. The replacement transfer belt is about $170, which is less than half the cost of the whole printer brand new, so it's still worth something.

"I am currently in a foster home with my sisters, and my foster mum says I am timid but become friendly with time and patience... can you give that to me? I would do best in a quiet and stable home, with people around to offer me support. I would not settle with a busy home or one with young children. I am quite a chatter box and have a very playful side. If this sounds like your kind of cat , please get in touch and we will put you in touch with my foster mum."

Firstly, she told us something of the history of epidemiology, which began when Dr John Snow found the cause of a cholera outbreak in London.
Then she explained how bison had recovered from near-extinction in North America, and why anthrax is threatening them. All mammals are vulnerable to anthrax, but cattle and bison are particularly intolerant to it.
Anthrax spores move around, but lodge and persist in the soil. For this reason, dead bison have to be cremated rather carefully so as not to release more spores into the ground. This is quite a challenge as bison are huge and fuel has to be brought to the site by helicopter.
Dallas collected data in the Northwest Territories to find out why outbreaks of anthrax poisoning occur in bison populations.
There were three hypothetical causes: spores could be incubating, especially in hot weather and then bursting out; anthrax could be concentrating in bison ‘wallows’; or bison may always carry anthrax but sometimes have low resistance to it.
Many research projects have inconclusive results and this was one of them. It seems likely that outbreaks occur because of all three factors.
Anyway, Dallas clearly enjoyed her spell in the Canadian wilderness and earned a Master’s degree.
Beautiful on crackers with a blue cheese. This is the totally natural way to eat honey. not processed, straight from the hive. The wax can be eaten with the honey and adds texture with the sweetness. Come and see us at Hive World NZ at 16 Wall Place Porirua.
