Hi everyone,
My little 11 year-old sister and I have some more freshly-picked, pesticide-free habaneros off our bush that we would like to sell to earn some pocket money.

The $1 coin is for size reference, these habaneros are on average 4x to 5x bigger than normal chillis and are really hot so you only need to cut up a small portion into food. The rest can be frozen until needed.

$1 each or 6 for $5.

Please PM me or email me at haydenthemonkey@gmail.com for more info. Thanks

Your thoughts on the future of passwords

Katie Kenny Reporter from Stuff

Every year, around 130,000 Kiwis fall victim to identity theft, with passport details the most commonly stolen information.

Every year, around 130,000 Kiwis fall victim to identity theft, with passport details the most commonly stolen information.

We’re wondering what Wellingtonians think about the use of biometric identifiers to unlock devices. Not just physical markers such as fingerprints and facial recognition, but also behavioural characteristics such as finger movements and gestures.

Would you feel safer online if you didn’t have to remember a list of passwords? Or would you feel uneasy about your device being able to recognise you from your micro-movements, for example? And, have you ever had your personal information stolen?

Our Coordinator at Hastings District Council recently sent us this snap from a get together with residents from a new suburb who are keen to get Neighbourhood Support up and running.

To gauge interest, he hosted a free barbecue at a park with the support of their local New Zealand Police to bring neighbours together to discuss setting it up. Every group is different in how it chooses to operate. Our policy is whatever works best for your area!

We have considerable challenges to maintain our current network and be prepared for growth. Maintaining a balance between delivering affordable, clean and sufficient water must be balanced with ensuring our take does not adversely affect the eco-systems of the relevant waterways or result in environmentally harmful discharges.

Newlands Volunteer Fire Station

The only one of the 'panel' on stage that didn't come across as a total imbecile was the only lady - her first name was Brenda but I didn't catch her second. It was interesting to know that the question over the Newlands Volunteer Fire Station was first mooted in 1993, again in 2007 and of course again in 2019 when the WCC has decided it wants to build a toilet? Go figure! What the hell has been happening since 1993 and now? Brenda said 3 options were mooted - a) Close & dis-establish Newlands VFB, b) Build elsewhere in Newlands or c) the preferred option by the Fire Service - join with Johnsonville. By the way how the hell are they going to build an extension to the J/ville fire station to accommodate the Newlands Fire Engine? It reeks of total stupidity similar to Peter Gilberds idea that he was going to widen Batchelor Street to accommodate the extra cars parked there due to the intensive infill housing in Batchelor/Atkinson Streets! Brenda also asked what is the forecast growth in the Newlands area - the Fire Service could only come up with historical growth forecasts and what they learned from their 'models' - perhaps they should wake up and get with the current trends which indicate Newlands is growing faster than anyone imagined possible!
