Construction of the new $290 million Heke Rua Archives NZ building has been completed, and it is the country’s most seismically resilient public building.
Heke Rua in Wellington has 36 triple-pendulum base isolators, the largest installed in New Zealand, with each isolator weighing more than 13 tonnes.
That means the building can shift 1.6m in any direction, which allows the building to disconnect from ground movement during a major earthquake…

Sale to whom. Is this an example of how loose we are or our gummint encourages Kiwis to be, make a buck and then sell out. And to whom? We need some stability. That includes in our governance system. The present bunch of opposing sporting debate teams, with a little game-playing against other side, is not suitable for purpose.

Why call them single-cell? Do these young poops reorganising our lives in every way have to change the name of classroom used for a century. Cell is where crims are put to feel guilty in, and with a name for their room like cell its no wonder that some children are quoted as feeling school is like a jail.

Now with servings of AI, the superior sauce, the dish celebre is a perfect gourmet delight.

A ditty comes to mind:
Here we go again, happy as can be
All good friends, and jolly good company??

And further enquiring minds have come up with these reasonable outcomes from climate change.

Will the godwits still be able to do their epic flights from Russia to Kiwiland? They are amazing. Russians caring more for NZAO than Kiwis!

Positive, we need to be able to do some work and receive a benefit sufficient to live with. Doing something – being positive and 90% of NZAO troubles would disappear and we would save on prisons and police! Why not try it those who still like their fellow citizens who have not enough for some reason – those who don’t, stop trying to kick them?

We won’t have any room to be special in soon. And the more people, the more unmet need no doubt. Or we can find how to take control of our country with reasoned guidelines to prevent anarchy as climate change washes land away, stupidity of planners and government helps with hindering., and earthquakes disrupt. Is this us –

Here is a beautifully presented vid of Sting singing I’m a Legal Alien. (I think I saw a version in which he is supposed to be singing I’m a Lethal Alien. I don’t think that’s right but is typical of the misinformation floating round that people know and which could be right but you’re not sure. Who knows anything for sure these days.)
