The Government has proposed a sweeping fuel-efficient vehicle policy that would make some cars up to $8000 cheaper - while others would be $3000 more expensive.

The "feebate" scheme wouldn't cost the taxpayer anything, instead using money gained by putting a fee on imported high-emissions cars in order to make imported hybrids, electric cars, and other efficient vehicles cheaper with a subsidy.

After his brother and partner in the family construction business died by suspected suicide, Chris Hughes wasn't sure what to tell his staff.

The construction sector has one of the highest suicide rates of any sector in New Zealand. Hughes says asking for help went against macho and "tough guy" attitudes in the industry.

Qigong is the foundation to taiji (taichi). It is relatively simpler than taiji and has more healing than taiji.
Qigong includes dynamic and static forms.
Zhineng Qigong emphasises moving meditation rather than static meditation. It uses the consciousness, body, breath, sound vibration and universal Qi (energy) to bring about positive transformation of the body, mind and spirit.

Regular practice can improve your health, immune system, spine, pelvic floor muscles, core strength, serenity, relaxation and inner joy.
