Joan's Picks: The Bone Tree and Adventures with Emilie

The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin ·

2023/08/27

The Bone Tree by Airana Ngarewa. There’s been lots of chatter about this one since it was published last week. It’s the story of two young brothers who are surviving on their own after losing first their mother and then their father. They’re completely outside the system - haven’t been to school for years and when CYPS came calling their father, while still alive, sent them away with a flea in their ear. Kauri is the older brother and it’s his mission to look after Black, the younger, - a mission

Research shows Kiwis fear eventual mental decline as they age just as much, if not more, than cancer. Every brain changes and develops - and eventually declines as we age - but there are ways to slow deterioration and associated conditions down. Naturopath and wellness expert Erin O'Hara says a healthy diet rich in Omega-3, plenty of exercise, and an active social life can reduce the impact of cognitive decline.

Just when you think we've fixed one problem - another turns up. Back in July, the Government banned all single-use drinking straws that contain any type of plastic to everybody other than those who have a disability or health condition that requires straw use. The ban was put in to help the environment, as plastic straws are too small to recycle and therefore end up either at landfill or blown around as litter potentially ending up in our oceans. In their place we now have paper or bamboo straws

The All Blacks insist the panic button doesn't need to be hit in the wake of their worst-ever defeat. The 35-7 loss to the Springboks at Twickenham has left their World Cup preparations in a significantly different state than they appeared leaving home. Former All Black and rugby commentator Ant Strachan says the All Blacks will need to move forward from the loss quickly and rectify some choices before they head to France.

National's Tim van de Molen was stripped of his portfolios, with Luxon claiming his behaviour didn't adhere to the party's expectations. The MP was censured by the Privileges Committee after he was found to have have threatened Labour MP Shanan Halbert at a Transport Select Committee last month. NZ Herald deputy political editor Thomas Coughlan says these punishments are rare, with the last politician to be censured being Winston Peters in 2008.

A huge step forward for Ukrainians looking to settle permanently in New Zealand.

The Visa first opened for 12 months from March 2022, and was then extended to March 2024.

2023/08/26

To panic or not to panic, that was the question I was asking myself yesterday morning after the almost two hour ‘friendly’ between the All Blacks and the Springboks at Twickenham. There is of course no such thing as a ‘friendly’ between these two sides. Watching the game yesterday I thought of Steven Hansen’s comment from about 8 years ago when, before another match at Twickenham between these two sides, Hansen declared the Springboks were getting ready to rip our heads off.

The Waters by Carl Nixon. NZ fiction - I think Carl Nixon started his writing career with short stories and the structure of this book is like a series of short stories, but all interlinked and telling the story of a family originating in Christchurch, from each of their different perspectives. There’s an alcoholic, hapless father, and three motherless children who after the death of their mother live blighted lives until they’re taken into foster care. Most of the book is them looking back at their

2023 is proving to be a big year for river cruises, as many of them are sold out ahead of the coming season. BloggerAtLarge's Megan Singleton is hosting her first sell-out river cruise in Europe come December- and she understands the appeal. She says the smaller collection of people on board is a safer alternative after Covid, and it allows travellers to explore the riverside towns and villages in the region.

Respiratory infections are on the rise again in New Zealand, as RSV, the flu and Covid-19 are blending together as a 'tripledemic'. The lack of restrictions this year has put people at risk of being exposed to coughs and colds again, as more freedom and opportunities to travel are putting people at risk. Naturopath and wellness expert Erin O'Hara recommends practicing hand hygiene, getting rest and hydration and staying home to prevent the spread of germs. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener

New research suggests Pink Floyd's greatest hits may be the key to helping stroke victims communicate again. Published this week in the journal PLOS Biology, the scientists took 29 patients who had electrodes placed directly on the surface of their brains as they underwent surgery for epilepsy. They were then played 3 minutes of Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall, and their brain activity was detected and recorded. They then took the brain signals and compared them to the recordings from the
