Planning took place over the previous six weeks where the students formulated their dish concepts. Practical cooking sessions enabled them to test and try out their culinary ideas and refine their dishes.
These efforts were boosted by the reflections of our Head Chef Finn Gybel and his stories of when he had competed in Denmark nearly 20 years ago. Back then, our Chef Finn was sous chef to René Redzepi, now rated as one of the great chefs of the world.
As a result, we won 1 Gold, 2 Silver and 2 Bronze medals.
Goodness me I thought, here we go again, an IPCA investigation has begun against the police for alleged police brutality whilst apprehending some youths in a stolen car.

I’m not going to talk about whether the police were right or wrong, I want to mention the person(s) who laid the complaint ‘on behalf of’! Who are these anonymous do-gooders that take it upon themselves to complain about every perceived offence that has apparently occured?
It seems that NZ has its fair-share of these people who make ‘media’ complaints because they want to be offended ‘on behalf of’ the so-called offended person whether or not that person is actually offended. Give me strength!
Let’s have some more detail in the media explaining who is laying these complaints. No personal details are necessary just let us know if it’s the offenders that are laying the complaints or some busy-body with nothing else to do.
Hi all,
I have a signed plate but I can't read the signature - can anyone figure out what the name is?
Thanks!

Eujenne Claxton and Laurin Buch, both 23, are about to move into their new home in Titirangi.
Claxton said what had really stood out to the couple about living in a tiny home was being able to live more sustainably and debt-free.
“In today’s housing market, it’s proving nearly impossible to afford a deposit for a home before the age of 30. This was an opportunity to afford a home before the age of 25 with no debt attached.”

I will ensure more funding is allocated to local safety initiatives.
I am campaigning to protect our green spaces, including planting more trees, cleaning up shared spaces and stopping the sell-off of our parks.
We urgently need to prepare for more people in our area which means upgrading Waitakere Hospital and building new community facilities like a swimming pool complex in Massey. My career is in management and finance and my passion is serving the community.
I have been involved with local organisations for many years including Sport Waitakere, the Community Organisation Grants Scheme, the Waitakere Indian Association and as a community board member.
I want Henderson Massey to thrive.
Vote Sunil Kaushal – vocal for local.

According to findings, the more you drink before bed, the more pronounced these effects. REM sleep happens about 90 minutes after we fall asleep. It's the stage of sleep when people dream, and it's thought to be restorative. Disruptions in REM sleep may cause daytime drowsiness, poor concentration, and rob you of needed ZZZs.
Alcohol may seem to be helping you to sleep, as it helps induce sleep, but overall it is more disruptive to sleep, particularly in the second half of the night if taken repeatedly.
Alcohol also suppresses breathing and can cause sleep apnea," or breathing pauses that occur throughout the night.
Studies prove that using alcohol as a sleeping aid can result in insomnia in the long run. However a drink or two here and there taken in a moderate quantity is of no harm.
