A study done by Tutukaka-based Orca Research Trust documents a number of world firsts about orca, including the longest amount of time a barnacle has hitchiked a ride on a whale.

It is hoped the research will help paint a clearer picture of the lives of open ocean orca, which rarely enter New Zealand waters. What do you think of the study and the local researchers?

We are under the impression that our swimming pool is losing water at an ever increasing rate.
The pool is indoors, and has a hard shell cover on at all times except when being used.
The water level is going down at a rate of 35mm in 20-25 days, or ~1.4mm daily. That is 1.8 cubic meters of water… View moreWe are under the impression that our swimming pool is losing water at an ever increasing rate.
The pool is indoors, and has a hard shell cover on at all times except when being used.
The water level is going down at a rate of 35mm in 20-25 days, or ~1.4mm daily. That is 1.8 cubic meters of water in 3 weeks! (or 1800 litres if you want). I am just not sure if this is an acceptable rate. We seem to think that initially, when we first filled it and started using it 18 months ago, it lost water at a much slower rate.
Any informed opinions? Thanks in advance, -P.

But I like being outdoors, I think the environment is such an important part of our future, especially for young people. The school strike for climate change was pretty cool, I guess it does make a big difference when all the kids in NZ kind of stop and go, “hey.” Joining the Youth Advisory Group (YAG) is my way to take action and do something about climate change.. YAG has opened my mind up to society and systems, which is really cool because as a kid you don’t get taught a lot about that and it just makes your perspective that little bit wider about how things actually work.”

I'm interested in health and fitness now: it's so important as we get older to look after our physical and our mental well-being. Life is what you make it! If you’re 65+ you need to get your A into G and join the PAAG (Positive Ageing Advisory Group). All of you who write to the paper or make comments on your devices should think about it. I didn't see myself as ageing when I joined the group, but I get it now. You've got to be positive, you've got to have an optimistic outlook on life don't you? That’s not easy for me right now, I could be an advocate for the public health system. But you have to keep going for it. It's a bugger getting old - write that down - it's how you handle it that matters.”
Jenny is on the Positive Ageing Advisory Group which helps Council set policy that works for everybody. If you want to join her or if you know someone that could, applications close on February 14.

By adding a little more colour to your life you can also help those in need. When you donate a can of food you'll save on your testpot purchase (save up to $5.80 on an 80ml testpot) while also helping provide disadvantaged Kiwis with food parcels when they need them most.
