URGENT: Face Shields for Essential Workers

Willow from Shelly Park

Hi everyone, I have been 3D printing face shields for friends who are essential workers. I have an Auckland Hospital staff member who would like to trial it, but need someone who works at Auckland Hospital to collect from my letterbox and take it in for her to test. If anyone can help please let me know asap.

There are two parts to this design, and while I can make headband itself, I also need Overhead Projector Transparency sheets asap - if anyone has these in the back of their cupboard (preferably still in their packaging but anything would be helpful) please let me know.

If you know anyone else local who is an essential worker that may benefit from this please let me know and I'll help if I can. This is a very low cost effective physical barrier, but takes time to make.

As cases progress these may become a very important tool to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 so please let me know if you can help, either with delivery of the sample or transparency sheets.

Stay safe!
Willow

Georgina's Rhubarb Crumble

Bruce McLaren Retirement Village

Craving a dessert that makes the most of spring's fresh produce? Look no further than Georgina's signature Rhubarb Crumble.

This delicious treat has become a favourite at Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village, where the sweet and tangy aroma often wafts through the air, tempting neighbours in for a taste. It’s also a hit with Georgina's 13-year-old granddaughter, Brooklyn, who loves serving it warm with gooey custard or a scoop of melting vanilla ice cream.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
