If you are feeling angry, you might be tempted to vent, but science has a much better, evidence based solution for you. Research published this week in the journal Scientific Reports involved scientists asking 100 volunteers to write an opinion piece about important social issues such as whether smoking in public should be banned. They were told that their writing would be evaluated and feedback would be provided to them. The volunteers spent time writing their pieces, and no matter how good they

Set in a post-quake Kaikōura, the series explores the town's recovery following the disaster, as the friendship between the leads turns toxic.

Dame Susan Devoy seems to have done it all. She's been a four-time world squash number-one champion, former Race Relations Commissioner, chairwoman of The Halberg Trust- and even a contestant on Celebrity Treasure Island. She says her original vision for the book was a 'tell-all, name-and-shame' look-back at everyone who'd gotten under her skin- and it turned out quite different. "It's easy to write about your failings and the things you're not good at and your negative aspects- it's very hard to

There's growing concern that the cuts across TVNZ and Newshub won't be the last for locally produced content. As the nation's biggest broadcasting companies struggle with falling advertising revenue, the fate of Kiwi favourites such as Shortland Street remains uncertain. NZ Screen Producers’ Guild President Irene Gardiner says local content plays an important role in keeping audiences together.

So World Athletics made an announcement this week that will no doubt send ripples throughout other global sporting organisations - and give ammunition to those who claim the Olympics aren’t worth the bother anymore - by announcing they would pay track and field gold medallists at the Paris Olympics $50,000 (USD). Understandably, the first question asked was if this move violated the Olympic spirit? This is, after all, the first time in the 128 years of the modern Olympics that athletes will receive

A local school is putting on an annual performance by the older kids, designed to make the four year olds who will start school in the autumn feel comfortable and keen to begin their education – but it all goes horribly wrong, and the way it plays out afterwards is a real sign of the times.

The Port of Oakland authority have launched a plan to change their "Metropolitan Oakland International Airport" to "San Francisco Bay Oakland International Airport". Despite speculation, this change isn't to end decades of mix-ups with Auckland Airport, as the locations were once famously mixed up by an unfortunate traveller in 1985.

Australian author Liam Pieper's has his work all over bookstores across the Tasman- but they've typically never featured his name. Pieper's been behind several bestselling celebrity memoirs, but as a ghost-writer his name doesn’t appear on the cover and he gets absolutely no public credit for the book’s success. His new novel dissecting Australian celebrity culture and the fear of getting 'cancelled' bucks this trend. "I've drawn on the mechanics of ghost-writing and what it's like to sit with a

Exciting news this week, as a nuclear fusion reactor in South Korea breaks all records by running an experiment at 100 million degrees C for 48 seconds. Just for context, that’s around 7x hotter than the centre of the sun. Nuclear fusion is the process of heating and forcing tiny particles particles together under high pressure and high temperature to make a heavier particle - which releases energy. It is the same process by which stars burn and results in the generation of huge amounts of energy

Enormous frustration among aid agencies six months into the war on Gaza. More than 30,000 Palestinian people, including 13,000 children, have been killed since the war began. Save the Children's Joseph Kay says aid agencies still face heavy restrictions from Israel. He says the numerous deaths of aid workers, including seven World Central Kitchen staff this week, has taken a toll. "This terrible tragedy does highlight that nowhere is safe in Gaza."
