Local e-cigarette businesses and anti-smoking groups say aggressive marketing campaigns are a bid to maximise sales before an expected clampdown on how alternatives to smoking can be advertised.

The images were gifted to us in 2016 as glass plate negatives, after being initially purchased in the 1970s from Auckland's City Markets (now Aotea Square). We know nearly nothing about them but the photos give a few clues. They were taken in the early 1900s, mostly in Auckland but also across the North Island. There are also suggestions of the photographer’s links to the Auckland Jewish community.
We want to know more to help tell their stories. Do you recognise any of these people?
Contact us at pictorial@aucklandmuseum.com if you have any further clues. Please share with family and friends if you think they may be able to help!

The former Gisborne mayor will lead the Human Rights Commission in promoting positive race relations. "In quite a few areas it is. "There's the unconscious bias, casual racism, direct racism is really bad, discrimination of all sorts, we do have an issue." But Mr Foon said the compassion of New Zealand showed in the wake of the March 15 terrorist attack. "When the massacre happened in Christchurch, thousands of New Zealanders came out and supported the grieving families and said 'this is not our country'. "Let's work on that and build on the goodwill of good New Zealanders."

On Wednesday evening we advertised Jakey as missing on BHB Facebook because his absence was unusual for he had been trained with his two siblings to come in for the nights after their mother was run over 4 years earlier. (She was binned by a neighbour across the road without checking if she belonged to anyone.) So at 10pm our first witness on FB confirmed they saw a dead cat of Jakey's description on our street but that the body was gone by Wednesday morning. Two other witnesses said his head bore the brunt. Admittedly, Jakey wouldn't have looked nearly as pretty as normal after that. The driver did not stop, because Jakey was seen on the road at 12.35 when another driver had to swerve to miss him. We understand the driver probably felt bad and frightened. At 1pm Jakey was lying on the grass verge because someone put him there. This happened near 48 Connell Street where there were, and still are, cones surrounding water pipe repairs, not far from the corner as one drives from Kinross Street. We were denied being able to pick Jakey up ourselves for closure. I have exhausted all avenues to check if his body was picked up from the grass verge by Animal Control, Waste Management that day, he is on Lost and Found Pets, and no vet has phoned to say his microchip leads to us. Can anyone remember the company name on the vehicles working there at the time? It isn't Water Piping or Pipes, as I checked already. If you have any knowledge of where he was taken to through hearing what your family members, friends or neighbours may say in conversations, please contact me on 027 503 8567 or (09)6262064 as my family and I are looking for closure. His siblings are still looking out for him too. Thank you so much if you can help.

High above Akaroa, and over the crater rim, you can visit Hinewai Reserve and discover numerous species of ferns, regenerating totara, hear the bird song, find the 47 known waterfalls or even better, hike the 3 day Banks Peninsula Banks Track, New Zealand track.
Celia Hay, Director of New Zealand School of Food and Wine dropped to visit Hugh and get an update on edible native plants and berries.
Hugh mentioned a new documentary on the transformation of Hinewai and now free on You tube.
It's inspirational.
