2024/10/26

There's less than two weeks to go until the US election, and new data shows the race is still very close. New polls show the margins are narrow in the seven key swing states - and recent reports from the American Psychological Association reveal the election is one of the biggest stressors impacting US voters. US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says early voting numbers have hit a record high - but Trump and Harris will have to work to capture the battleground states. "I don't think they're panicking -

If you have a child in year 13, like we do, there’s a good chance they had their last official day of school on Friday. It has been a big week, with a fitting celebration on Friday evening. It’s also been quite emotional. There are still exams to come, and a graduation dinner – but 13 years of bells, uniforms, timetables, organised sport, study, exams, dramas, and discovering your identity as you move from tween to teen has come to an end. It has been a lot. Just completing high school is an

Whitcoulls Recommends: Framed and We are the Stars

Framed by John Grisham and Jim McCloskey. The authors have taken 10 cases of miscarriages of justice in the US and shown the impact of wrongful imprisonment on the men involved and their families and communities – but also look at how such things occur – the racism, misconduct, flawed testimony and court system that allows the convictions to stand and pleas for exoneration ignored – even when there is overwhelming evidence against the verdict.

Another great day for Team New Zealand in the America's Cup- but there's not a lot of interest. Should the next defence be held in New Zealand? How can we get Kiwis interested?

As the world's population get older, there's growing concern about increased rates of Parkinson's disease. From 1990 to 2015, the number of people with Parkinson disease doubled to over 6 million - and the number is predicted to double again by 2040. Naturopath and wellness expert Erin O'Hara says it's unclear why these rates have gone up - but there are plenty of environmental factors believed to influence the condition.

Liam and Noel Gallagher will be bringing their hotly-anticipated 2025 Oasis reunion tour over to Australia next October.

In early 2022, famed solo sailor Andrew Fagan set off to attempt to beat a world record in a tiny 5.1m plywood yacht. He aimed to use the yacht, Swirly World in Perpetuity, to beat the record for 'The smallest boat to sail solo around the world via the Great Capes'. His mission didn't go to plan - but he managed to tell the tale in his new book Swirly World: Lost At Sea. He says he'd managed to sail to Australia and New Zealand's Subantarctic Islands - so he thought this was a logical next step

Scientists have just found that the best way to burn more calories is to snack - exercise snack that is! The research published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B found that climbing stairs or walking for short bursts resulted in people consuming 20 percent to 60 percent more energy than if they did the same activity nonstop for the same distance. The study compared the oxygen and energy demands of volunteers walking or climbing stairs. It found that the first moments of activity are

Experts agree Darleen Tana's days in Parliament are numbered. On Thursday, Green Party delegates voted to ask House Speaker Gerry Brownlee to oust the now-independent MP. Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls says this is uncharted territory for the Party - and it's unclear how this will play out ahead of the next election. "We've seen the polls move up and down over the last seven months or so, with how long this story has been running for. I think it's had an impact on the party, but we're

It’s not over yet, but just maybe there is light at the end of the Darleen Tana drama tunnel. Please let it be. The Green Party has their own uniquely democratic and patient way of reaching a decision, but seven months and running to get this sorted is surely testing even their limits. It was good this week to see a consensus of delegates agree to using the waka-jumping law - or the electoral integrity clause in the Electoral Act - to eject Tana. The co-leaders have now written to Speaker Gerry

I Was Anastasia by Ariel Lawhon. The Romanovs hold an enduring fascination for many of us, and this is the fictional account of Anna Anderson, who for 50 years claimed that she survived the massacre and was in fact Anastasia Romanov. The author cleverly presents the details of what happened, and this woman’s subsequent fight to be recognised as genuine – and then lets you, the reader. decide where you think the truth lies. Eden Undone by Abbott Kahler. In the 1930’s, a German couple moved to the
