This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?

The choir will be joined by acclaimed soprano Elizabeth Mandeno, organist Philip Smith, and a small orchestra for a programme of profound beauty and reverence. The centrepiece of the evening is John Rutter’s Requiem, complemented by works from Poulenc, Howells, Harris, Artley and Duruflé — music chosen to reflect the compassion, humility, and spiritual depth that characterised Pope Francis’ papacy.
Tuesday 21 April | 7.30pm
St Michael’s Catholic Church, Remuera
We warmly invite you to share in this evening of remembrance, reflection, and exquisite choral music.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
Computer running slow? Clean Windows setup - Auckland

Is your computer becoming painfully slow or taking forever to start?
Often the best solution is a **clean Windows installation that removes old clutter and restores performance**, helping the computer run smoothly again.
I’m based in Auckland and provide a **local mobile service** focused on clean Windows 11 installation and careful system setup. I follow a structured process so the system is **clean, stable, and ready to use when I leave.**
What I typically help with:
• Clean Windows 11 installation
• Removing unnecessary pre-installed software
• Installing updates and essential drivers
• Setting up the system so the computer runs smoothly again
This can be especially helpful if:
• your PC has gradually become very slow
• Windows errors or updates caused problems
• you bought a new computer and want a clean setup
• the computer hasn’t been used for a long time
The result is a **clean, stable system that often feels like a new computer again.**
I provide **in-home service across Auckland.**
**Typical on-site clean installation: $100 total**
*(including travel and setup)*
Even if you’re not sure what the problem is, feel free to message and describe what’s happening. I’m always happy to help neighbours figure out what might be going on and get their computers running smoothly again.
