Retirement is your time to do what you love. Maybe for you this doesn't mean stopping work altogether; instead, it can mean shifting gears to something more fulfilling or pursuing passions that you now have time for. This might mean volunteering, part-time work, or even starting your own business.

According to MetService, a "complex low" over the Tasman Sea is generating persistent, cold easterlies over the South Island, bringing heavy rain, and heavy snow above 400 metres. Southeasterly gales are also to be expected in the west, MetService warned.
What you need to know:
- Orange heavy snow warnings in place until 2pm on Wednesday for the North Canterbury high country and the foothills north of the Rangitata River.

- Heavy rain watch for Canterbury Plains from Christchurch northwards and eastern Marlborough until 3pm.
- A treacherous Canterbury State Highway where dozens of people have been injured in icy crashes was still closed on Wednesday due to the snow and ice, as was SH73, SH79 and SH80.
- State Highway 73 Springfield to Castle Hill (Porters Pass) was also closed due to snow and ice, as was State Highway 79 Fairlie, between State Highway 8 and Gudex Rd.
- State Highway 80 Pukaki to Mt Cook (Aoraki Mt Cook Highway) was also closed due to snow and ice.
MetService has urged people to prepare for snow, cold temperatures, and possible power outages.

🚍 Why is boosting biodiversity spending in Ōtautahi/Christchurch and Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū/Banks Peninsula so important? And should pets be allowed to travel on buses?
Regional Councillor Joe Davies, who represents the North East Ōtautahi constituency, gives us his view.

While searching private farmland in the Greenpark area this morning, a shallow grave was discovered along the treeline.
The remains cannot immediately be formally identified, and work is now underway to excavate and forensically examine them.
This news has been shared with Yanfei’s immediate family, and while long hoped for, still comes as a shock.
The area had previously been searched, and new information led us back here to search specific locations of interest.
For operational reasons, we are unable to share the information that led us to search this location.
A scene examination is now underway and Police will be visible in the area for some time.
Police investigation staff are working towards an October trial date for a now 53-year-old man charged with murder in relation to Yanfei’s death.

Research has shown that direct contact with the Earth's natural electric charge can have profound effects on our health, particularly in the fight against inflammatory illnesses.
Best of all, Earthing is free, easy to implement. You can start today by heading outside for 20mins barefoot (if its warm enough for you in your part of NZ😀)
Incorporating the practice of Earthing into your daily health plan makes the biggest impact and the easiest way to get 8+ hours of connection is by far, sleeping on an Earthing mat.
Ground-breaking studies reveal that grounding can:
Reduce Chronic Inflammation: Chronic inflammation is often referred to as “silent inflammation” because it can silently damage tissues and weaken the immune system over time. Grounding helps in neutralizing this silent inflammation, protecting your body from unnecessary harm.
Act as a Natural Anti-Inflammatory: Unlike conventional anti-inflammatory drugs that can have significant side effects, grounding is a non-pharmaceutical option that is free, easy to implement, and enhances quality of life by tapping into the Earth's electrons and the Schumann resonances.
Combat Modern Health Challenges: From cardiovascular diseases to diabetes and even complications from Covid-19, grounding has shown promise in various clinical studies. For instance, grounding has been observed to improve heart rate variability (HRV), reduce blood viscosity, and enhance blood flow, thereby reducing the risk of chronic illnesses.
Support in Covid-19 Recovery: Recent research has highlighted grounding’s potential in alleviating symptoms and complications associated with Covid-19. Patients who grounded themselves either by walking barefoot or using conductive patches saw significant improvements in their symptoms.
Improve Mental and Emotional Well-being: Grounding has also been shown to reduce psychological stress and normalize cortisol levels, which can lead to better sleep, reduced anxiety, and an overall sense of calm and balance.
Join the movement towards a healthier, inflammation-free life with our range of premium earthing products. Our Earthing solutions are designed to bring the Earth's natural energy right into your home, and to make it easy to 'ground' each and every day.
