Almost all land mammals have tear glands around their eyes, and it is thought that these are primarily used to keep eyes most and clean. However, humans are relatively unique in that we are one of only a couple of mammals that cry when overcome with emotion as well as when we have something stuck in our eye. Now, new research published in the journal PLOS biology thinks it might know why we cry when we get emotional, and it’s all to do with keeping us safe when things get tense. The researchers

A stay in hospital for open heart surgery inspired the UK's Rick Stein to craft a new recipe book. The night before the operation, the celebrity chef was served a simple fried haddock fillet, leading to him crafting a list of similar quick and easy meals. He says the surgery was a life-changing event- and his cookery books are shaped by his experiences. "What I like to do in my cookery books is share who I am and what I like. So I thought it would be quite funny- and true- to write a book about very

The disaster continues to impact residents, with many living in flood-prone areas and others having to contend with lootings- 15 burglaries took place on one affected street within the last 12 months.

Argylle by Elly Conway: There is a movie of this book opening in cinemas on 1st February which is unusual – the movie usually comes some time after the original book publication. It’s been made by Apple who have reportedly invested $200 million. It’s a spy/thriller/highly entertaining story of Aubrey Argylle, a young man who has been making a living showing tourists around parts of the Golden Triangle (there’s a good back story to this) when one day a plane comes down in the jungle and turns out

Are men better at navigating than women? It’s a common stereotype that men are better at directions than women, but is this actually true? New research published this week in the journal Royal Society Open Science found that the answer was yes and no! Previous studies have found that human men slightly outperform women when it comes to spatial navigation tasks and the theory was that it might be evolutionary, as our cavemen ancestors covered large distances to hunt while the cavewomen stayed closer

National's Tama Potaka and Dan Bidois made an appearance, but Prime Minister Chris Luxon was noticeably absent.

People – and when I say people, I mean the general public and sports journalists - were quite taken aback with the news this week that Joe Schmidt is the new Wallabies rugby coach. I don’t know why. The Aussie media had him as a contender last November, when the whole Eddie Jones situation imploded. But I can see why it was surprising – he left Ireland to spend more time with family in New Zealand. As the All Black’s attack coach, Schmidt was very happy to remain quietly behind the scenes
