Police are searching hospitals and schools across the country after threats were made against a number of organisations, RNZ is reporting.

What you need to know:
- Bomb threats were made within emails received around 9am today (23 November).
- RNZ understands police have been searching the premises at Auckland City Hospital and Manukau Superclinic.

Police are working to establish the origin of the emails and have yet to establish any actual threat to any organisation.

Fionnagh Dougan, Te Whatu Ora's national director hospital and specialist services, said in a statement to Stuff:
'Members of the public with appointments at our hospitals or needing emergency treatment should be assured it is safe to attend their local hospital as usual.'

Downsize to a Richer, Happier Life

Bert Sutcliffe Retirement Village

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

This is the first of a series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

When helping people to declutter, Peter never starts by focusing on the stuff itself. Every item in your home has a story, so the first step is to think about what that story is.

Maybe you’re thinking about downsizing as you approach retirement but still have all the artwork and toys and books that belonged to your now adult children, and don’t know what to do with them. Perhaps letting go of that old sports equipment means letting go of a vision you had of yourself that no longer fits who you are. Maybe you’re holding onto heirlooms you have no use for because you want to keep the memory of the person alive.

No matter what your situation is, it’s easier to declutter and downsize if you start by identifying the feelings that underlie your attachment to your stuff before tackling the stuff itself.

Orange your Window - a yearly event around the world!

Gender based violence occurs in the family and in the general community, and affects the ability of women and girls to reach their full potential and participate in society. Domestic abuse is an incident or pattern of incidents of controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading and violent behaviour, including sexual violence, in the majority of cases by a partner or ex-partner, but also by a family member or career, and most commonly experienced by women. Abuse can also take the forms of physical assault, psychological abuse, social abuse, and financial abuse. The colour orange symbolises a brighter future, free of violence. It also serves as a means of demonstrating solidarity in eliminating all forms of violence and it is therefore used as the colour for this campaign.
Various activities are arranged around the world to draw attention to the need for continuing action to eliminate violence against women, projects to enable women and their children to escape violence and campaigns to educate people about the consequences of violence against women. Locally, women’s groups organise walks, communal meals, fundraising activities and present research on violence against women in their own communities.
Please let me know if you are keen to dress your shop window in orange either on or between the 25 November which is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, and the first day of the 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence to the 10 December, which is the United Nations Human Rights Day. You can email me at sinorthshore@siswp.org and I will send you posters etc for your window.
The SI North Shore members will be acknowledging this campaign by photographing all the shop windows, dressed in orange, to pick the best dressed windows that are supporting this campaign.
