Importance of unique passwords for Social Media
Just a friendly reminder to make sure all of your passwords are unique on every website you create an account for. For example how hackers can get into your Social Media accounts like Facebook is they have a list of passwords that you used in the past (typically from a shopping website that got hacked) and they do trial and error on all social media sights and even bank sites.
A good recommendation is to use randomly generated passwords a good tool for this is if you have your Gmail signed in and are using Google Chrome when you go to create an account sometimes an arrow that is performing a full circle will appear in the corner this is to generate a random password.
An alternative to the above method as it does not always appear when you create an account is to sign up for a Password manager such as Last Pass as they store all your passwords on a secured server and can work on Smart Phones too.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
