My daughter has recently upgraded her laptop for a new one and the old one is now for sale.



It's a C40D-C (Model No: PSCRNA-004004). Specs as per this link: anz.dynabook.com...
The link says it has 2GB of RAM, however we upgraded that to 8GB.


I have completed a full Windows 10 clean install on it so it looks like it's brand new when switched on. Effectively it's how you would get it if you were to have bought it from a shop.


One big plus point - because she needed it for school, it has Windows 10 Pro installed, not Home edition.

It's not the fastest machine on the block, but it works fine and looks completely in as-new condition, with original charger.

Showcasing their passion for life, Ryman residents from New Zealand and Australia feature in the film. Let’s meet the stars.

“If I hear music, I just want to dance – body seems to just move!” says dancer Audrey, 84. Poet Brian, 86, says “Poetry helps me to question and understand the meaning of life”, followed by a witty “– haven’t worked out what it means yet”.

As their residents blaze their own trails, Ryman matches that pioneering spirit. “Ryman villages offer living choices to suit everyone so that you can live the way you want.” Learn more

Information on Root Canal

Tooth decay is damage that occurs when germs in your mouth make acids that eat away at a tooth. It can lead to a hole in the tooth, called a cavity. If not treated, tooth decay can cause pain, infection, and tooth loss.

Bacteria and food can cause tooth decay. A clear, sticky substance called plaque is always forming on your teeth and gums. Plaque contains bacteria that feed on the sugars in the food you eat.As the bacteria feed, they make acids. The acids attack the teeth for 20 minutes or more after you eat. Over time, these acids destroy tooth enamel, causing tooth decay.

The space inside the tooth from the center, (known as the pulp chamber) that travels down the length of the root to the tip (or apex) is called a “canal,” or more specifically, a root canal.

A root canal is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form.

Common reasons for Root Canal therapy
Any trauma or infection of the nerve will result in the need for root canal therapy. Common reasons for root canal therapy include:

Bacteria from the decayed tooth invades the pulp by penetrating through the tooth.

Trauma, such as a chipped or broken tooth, occurs and results in the exposure of the nerve.
A tooth has become abscessed — also known as infected — from decay.

A tooth is slowly dying, due to aging or previous trauma that did not result in the need for treatment at the time of injury.

Advantages of root canal treatment
There are many types of advantages of using root canal treatment.

Normal chewing without pain
Control of sensation and biting in teeth
Appearance becomes normal and natural
Health of other teeth in mouth is not adversely affected

If a teeth is infected and root canal treatment is needed then it is important to take immediate steps to make sure that the infection could be eliminated on time. Delays in treatment for root canal cases could lead to spreading of infection to other teeth and the person has to suffer from a lot of pain and loss of many teeth.

Hence it is always important to see the Dentist every 6 months and as soon as you have having pain or discomfort with any of your teeth.

We want to talk to people who have completed micro-credentials, bitesize qualifications for specific skills.

Its like the post office of the past and there is no private option set ups like chemist PO sales. The latest is the Ponsonby Rd Branch to close now the closest to a branch is the city. Not everybody wants to go to city, i certainly don't - Luckily the Pt Chev one is still there but for how long, Better start using it or it will. Its going to be hard to do cash banking if no where to take it without a big effort.. Be interesting to see how everybody else is feeling out there ? I know a lot of bills are on line now but where's the close customer service.
