Dear Neighbours
I hope you are all healthy and safe getting ready to get to level 3.
I would like to use the opportunity to appreciate our Government and You Guys making this time efficient and breaking the pandemic. I hope we are moving on to the next step to keep what we have achieved together.
The virus is still around and in addition the NZ winter is coming. We are all staying currently more at our homes and the quality of our living is getting even more important to keep all of us healthy and happy!
Using the opportunity here I would like to open the discussion about home ventilation and heating. There are a lot of different options on the market around the world and some of them are available in NZ.
My company, Bright Mirror Solution is involved in this market providing some options for home ventilation and heating. However, finding it extremely important we are going to do even more.
Please let me know whether you have some questions and ideas in the field or you have got experience using some unique solutions for general home ventilation and heating.
I am going to introduce here soon an article about our experience and literature review in the field.
Regards
Michael Steiner

Good Morning Well that was the shortest Dawn Parade and the one with the lest marching I have been too. Sharing the radio broadcast with two of my daughters standing at our front gate with a cross made of offcuts seemed appropriate. Many of our men had no cross. Here is a link to a short tribute to the men and women who served and the families that waited.
I apologise for the quality

ANZAC Day will be marked a little differently this year. We’ll be warm and cosy at home and The Last Post won’t start until you press play. But one thing will be the same – remembrance.

To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.

What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?

310 Aucklanders trespassed from libraries between Jan 2016 and Feb 2020

Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Stabbing staff with scissors, masturbating, being drunk and having sex are just some of the reasons why 310 people were booted and banned from Auckland Council libraries in the last four years.

Stabbing staff with scissors, masturbating, being drunk and having sex are just some of the reasons why 310 people were booted and banned from Auckland Council libraries in the last four years.

The majority of the trespasses were for threatening behaviour (51), abusive behaviour (41), theft (33), graffiti tagging (14) and intoxication (nine).

Five people were trespassed from several libraries for multiple offences or where serious types of offending posed significant risk to staff at other sites. Three people were banned from all libraries for offences listed in the article below.

Despite this, an Auckland Council spokeswoman said its libraries were safe and welcoming for Aucklanders wanting to connect, read and learn, and trespass notices were issued in "rare and isolated cases, with no evident patterns". Library staff were trained in conflict awareness.
