Accidents and delays have been causing massive traffic jams for commuters this week and recent figures show morning drivers here can spend 72 per cent more time stuck in jams than if they made the same trip in free-flowing traffic. Is traffic getting worse? And what can we do about it? Comments may be used in the Hutt News unless you state otherwise with NFP (not for print)

Computer Scams

Hi everyone

I'm getting a lot of calls about another round of computer scams, this time targeting Spark customers regarding the change of email service. Have a read of the article below on stuff.....

www.stuff.co.nz...

If anybody phones you about your computer hang up, no legitimate company will phone you out of the blue saying you have a problem? Even if they say they are from Spark or Microsoft.

Also look at for any software on your computer popping up with a message to say you have problems, most of the time this will be Malware trying to get you to buy a program.

There is also another scam going around where you click on a link in Facebook and a message comes on the screen saying your hard drive will be deleted if you turn of the computer and you need to call a phone number. The easy solution is to turn of your computer by pressing and holding in the power button for 10 seconds (your hard drive will not be deleted) then restart you computer. Do not click on the Facebook link again and run a anti Malware scan. The free version of Malewarebytes is a good program to run.

Cheers
Owen

This is the last daily showcase of two of our AMI Community Grant finalists, sharing a bit more about the great work that they're doing in Kiwi communities. You can help support these organisations by voting for them to win their share of $20,000.

Under the Stars - Homeless in Tauranga
We are a Charitable Trust feeding the homeless and needy. We supply hygiene necessities, blankets, and clothing for those in need. We are also fortunate to have a hairdresser occasionally on site who gives her services for free. Recently we have begun to hold a drop in afternoon every second Thursday, giving people the opportunity to have a light lunch and a chance to chat. We are hoping to develop this afternoon more by offering a variety of creative arts. The volunteers that commit time and energy towards our meals do so mostly out of their own funds.

Proposed youth centre for Keith Street Wanganui central district
I propose the opening and running of a youth centre based in Keith street or Wanganui cbd. The benefits of having a youth centre in the community will bring together the younger and older generations, so we can learn from each others mistakes and experiences to enhance each other’s lives. We have a mixture of people from different cultures in our society in such a small radius that sometimes we forget about those who really are struggling with life, and they are the most vulnerable people in our society. I want to change that for the better, and help those people that are struggling to survive on the basic benefit or wages. VOTE NOW!
