Private Reading and Spelling lessons for an 18 year old

Amanda from Westmere

Is there anyone out there who can or knows someone who can provide private reading lessons for my 18 year old son? He has a full time job but really wants to get further ahead. He feels as though he can’t do anything better because he can’t read and at the end of the day reading is everything. … View moreIs there anyone out there who can or knows someone who can provide private reading lessons for my 18 year old son?

Even though the school tried he was let down by the school system.

BREAKING NEWS---Up to 50 people allowed at funerals as Government backtracks on 10-person limit for Level 2

Brian from New Lynn

Minister of Health David Clark announced the change of heart this afternoon, just hours before New Zealand's scheduled move to Alert Level 2 at 11.59pm.

The new limit will allow up to 50 people to gather for the purposes of funerals and tangihanga, provided that strict public health measures are in place. From tomorrow, funeral directors will have to obtain dispensation from the Ministry of Health to allow up to 50 people to attend services, while having to meet a range of public health measures. Those measures will include physical distancing, hand hygiene, as well as no food and drink congregations afterwards. "Funerals are exceptional events and have been one of the most difficult areas of restriction that we've considered as we try to avoid the double tragedy of losing a loved one and spreading the virus," Dr Clark said. "The strength of our response to this virus has been in our agility to respond and we have listened to the concerns of the 10-person limit for funerals and moved on that - while emphasising they still pose a significant risk in setting us back. "We can all be rightly proud of the progress we've made in tackling the virus over the past seven weeks and we need to maintain this unity to keep us on track. "I'm pleased that we have found a workable solution that that keeps people safe, while at the same time allowing more people to gather and grieve together."

Looking for a place to put a tiny house. We’ve just begun sourcing the house, so this probably wouldn’t happen for several months at least.

We’ve just begun sourcing the house, so this probably wouldn’t happen for several months at least. Dimensions would probably be 8 metres long by 3 metres wide, with room for a small deck. Unit would be mostly self-contained (solar power, composting toilet, etc), but access to water would be helpful. We’d be interested in a lease of at least one year.

The Government has announced that New Zealand will be moving to Alert Level 2 on Thursday 14 May 2020.
This means public transport timetables have returned to normal for buses, trains and most ferries. The Ministry of Health wants passengers to still maintain physical distancing so we will need to limit the number of people who can board each bus, train, or ferry. This will reduce the number of passengers on each service. To make up for reduced capacity, we’ve called in some reinforcements; you might find yourself travelling on a bus normally used by sightseers or tourists. These extra buses will help get everyone where they need to be, quickly and safely.
When you’re on board, follow the signs showing where you can sit, and please avoid sitting next to someone you don’t know.
Registered HOP cards only
======================
Under Alert Level 2, regular fares apply. Please note that bus drivers won’t accept cash. Instead, you’ll need to use a registered AT HOP card to tag on and off. You need to make sure your AT HOP card is registered - this makes contact tracing easy if needed.
Cleaning our fleet
==============
The safety of our customers and workers is a priority, so we’re making sure all public transport is cleaned regularly. We’ve also stepped up our regime to include spot checks and antimicrobial cleaning. You’ll find hand sanitiser stations at many locations, and we encourage you to use them.
When travelling on buses
====================
• Cash payments for fares will not be accepted. You must use an AT HOP card.
• Use the rear door to get on and off buses.
• Tag on and off using the AT HOP card reader inside the rear door.
• If you use a wheelchair or mobility device, are vision-impaired or require driver assistance, you can still get on and off using the front door.
• Each bus will have a sign showing the number of passengers it can carry.
School buses
===========
AT school bus services will operate during Alert Level 2. Following the Government’s guidelines, physical distancing measures will be different from our public transport services but standing on buses will not be permitted. Working closely with the schools, AT have several measures to support contact tracing for students. Hand sanitiser will be made available for students boarding and departing the bus, in addition to the bus being cleaned in accordance with Government guidance. We recommend that parents wait with their child(ren) at the bus stop until they can see if the bus has enough room for their child(ren).
