An officer who's spent over 30 years as part of New Zealand's police force has detailed his experience in a new book.

According to Greek mythology, red roses first appeared when Aphrodite pricked her foot on a thorn, spilling blood on a white rose. Since then, roses’ thorns have captured the imaginations of countless poets and filled the outdoor spaces of keen gardeners. For those of us who love the thought of roses, but don’t like the prickles – new research published in the journal Science has found the gene that can stop them from forming! Prickles are designed as effective deterrents to herbivores, helping to

All options look to be on the table when it came to increasing competitiveness in the banking sector.

Disappointment for sprinter Zoe Hobbs - who's missed out on the women's 100 metre final at the Paris Games. The Olympic debutant finished sixth in her heat, with the top two in all three semis and the next two fastest advancing. NZ Herald sports journalist Michael Burgess says Hobbs managed an incredible performance in a competitive sport, but it wasn't enough. "She ran 11:08 in her heat and 11:07 today would have been enough to make the final, but as she explained - she had a slightly poor start."

2024/08/03

Well, we are a week into the Olympics now. Everyone I have spoken to this week has commented that they’re a bit tired: staying up later than usual, waking up earlier than usual. Going through the emotional rollercoaster of sport is taking its toll - even if we’re only watching from the couch. And this is the wonderful thing about the Olympics – we’re all in it together. It’s a cliché, but sport brings us together, as a nation and globally. And while there are epic performances from the world’s top

The Bookshop Detectives by Gareth Ward and Louise Ward. This is fun and really clever – the authors are former UK police officers who moved to Havelock North and opened a bookshop (Sherlock Tomes). The lead characters have a similar background and their names are a play on Gareth and Louise. They get caught up in a decade long murder mystery which happened in the Hawkes Bay town and which – of course – they try to solve. The Survivors by Steve Braunias.
