Hi you Techies out there! We have one email address, but two different passwords on our FB accounts. I've 'lost' my one! If I try to log in, I get my husband's account, not mine.

I've 'lost' my one! If I try to log in, I get my husband's account, not mine. It's still there, as other people can see my account, I can't access it. I'm not computer/lap top literate, or even know the terminology as you can gather, so if you can help, or know someone that I can take my laptop to, it will need to be in simple language. I use FB daily, to keep in touch with my Family in the UK., so it's fairly urgent it's put right! Thank you all so much.

Kiwis deserve better, which is why we’re fighting for power affordability for all of us. But we can’t do it alone.
Join us in the Revolt to bring power prices down, by signing the petition to demand that the Government reforms NZ’s broken electricity market. #Powergate ✊🏾 ✊🏿 ✊🏼 ✊🏽

Competenz has recently launched a new micro-credential to improve the level of digital literacy in the manufacturing sector.
"With an aging workforce it’s imperative we enable companies to keep their tradesmen and craftsmen,” says Jahn Vannisselroy, Competenz Sector Manager. “This micro-credential, which we can tailor to a specific company, is giving people the confidence to meet technology head-on.”
The qualification is fully funded under the government’s Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF) for employers who enrol their staff before 31 December 2022.
