There is a large area in Owhiti with unmarked graves because the council took the pegs out. And they've been going on and on and on about it being full for years and years 🤦♀️ STILL - We bury our loved ones there.
In my city, there are people who live on collecting plastic, medal and paper and selling them to recycling stations. So, as long as the prices of these resources do not drop below a certain threshold, they are always recycled, despite the fact that locals usually have little regard for rules.
I don't live in Eastbourne however I do go out there once a week. Seeing so many people using this new walkway is a sheer joy to see. I see people walking their dogs, walking with their small children and cycling. It really is being used regularly and is so much safer. It think this is a fantastic piece of work and worth the expense. While I sympathise with how expensive this type of work is, it was a necessity anyway so with a bit more effort it became something very special. Well done!
My dog eats most of my food waste. Most goes in my tummy. Therefore dogs are a huge asset in keeping the environment sustainable. Which is strange considering we have to pay high registration fees just to keep them. It would be more important to relieve us of this burden so we could put our money in to their healthcare and feeding.
I want to know why this wasn't started in the summer when the weather is better and why there aren't more staff there. We're backed up into the village for up to 45 mins every morning and when we eventually get to the lights, there's one or two people sat on a wall not doing anything.
As regards ocean acidification, it is estimated that the ocean’s global mean surface pH may have declined (i.e., become less alkaline and thus more “acidic”) by -0.07 to -0.08 in the last 200 years - from pH8.12 during pre-industrial times to 8.04 to 8.05 today (Wei et al, 2015). N.B. The decline in pH occurred before 1930. However, and very importantly when you look the data after CO2 emissions began rising precipitously in the 1930s, the oceans have become less “acidic”!!! By way of comparison, from one season to the next, or over the course of less than 6 months, pH levels naturally change by ±0.15 pH units, or twice the overall rate of the last 200 years. On a per-decade scale, the changes are even more pronounced. Oceanic pH values naturally fluctuate up and down by up to 0.6 U within a span of a decade, with an overall range between 7.66 and 8.40. This is decadal rate of pH change is larger than the overall 200-year span (0.07-0.08) by a factor of 8.
The Great Barrier Reef's coral cover has reached the greatest extent ever recorded (AIMS). If you look at the Global Coral Reef Monitoring Network (GCRMN) data, the WIO (West Indian Ocean) shows 26% hard coral cover in 1985 upto 30% in 2020. South Asia reefs shows a decline around 2000 to below 25% then a regrowth to around 40% (2010) and a decline to 25% (2020). The Red Sea shows no change at around 25% (1995-2020). So the pattern in these three areas show no relationship to each other or to a changing climate. GCRMN data for the most important coral bioregion, the East Asia Seas, with 30% of the world’s coral reefs, and containing the most diverse coral of the ‘Coral Triangle’, show no statistically significant net coral loss since records began. The East Asia region has the biggest human population living in close proximity to reefs, and is located in the Indo-Pacific Warm Pool - the hottest major water mass on earth.
There are over 5 million excess deaths per annum globally due to abnormal temperatures from the 2000-2019 study led Prof. Guo of Monash University. It found that over 90% of excess deaths were caused by excess COLD rather than excess heat. So, in a world with increasingly mild temperatures, there will be less excess death. Warming is good not bad.
There has been no clear change in annual precipitation over the Earth's landmasses between 1850-2000 (Wijngaarden, 2015). Drought appears to be decreasing globally (Watts et al, 2018) measured by SPI 1901-2017.
What an absolute crock of sh1te. There is absolutely no evidence that we are in a climate emergency. The science is not "unequivocal". For example: There has been a 10% decline in natural disasters globally since 2000 (CRED). Normalised disaster losses have decreased since 1990 and human mortality due to extreme weather has decreased by more than 95% since 1920.
Born 76 here. Wainui raised. Went to Arakura kindy, Pencarrow school, Wainui intermediate, Wainui College, Pukeatua training. Seen my hometown go through ups and downs, lost mates to suicides, rest easy my friends, and also to natural causes. Won many rugby league games, lost some too. Supported the prems and living in porirua I still support my hometown. Always Green and black. The many late nights roaming the streets with my mates in the early 90s was the best. No social media so it was the best days ever. At least now we can archive. Even the coppers were different. One guy, iggy, he always had tabs on wainui College lmao! Parkway college were Nancy's jokes jokes though we did have punch ups at wise Park lol and bonded just as strongly when we played league on Saturdays against randwick or upper hutt, porirua or taita. The best days. Rest in peace brother Michael sharp. We are the same age, Richard sharp is my brothers age. Again... the best day's. Thank you for the bridge. It now completes the look and the entrance into ynui. Loved the video guys. Thanks for sharing.
As a thought... look at doing this with new buildings. Bind 2 1/2" and 3/4" gravel under the foundations. Use a 15" minimum raft slab, and build on top of that. This was tried in Adelaide, by an eccentric man, in the 1940's. His was the only house in Burnside to survive the 1950's earthquake without cracks to the walls. It was a solid brick house with clay roof tiles.
I was born in the Hutt always a great start to once life and career. My parents started their business in the Hutt and stayed in business for 50 years and we loved what the Hutt gave the family and me. I am now living in Sydney.
Lower Hutt was ruined when all those old buildings down the end of High Street were demolished, and replaced with a boring single story chemist and mad butcher complex, that end of High Street needs tall buildings 2 to 6 stories high. The 6 story Sebel hotel is the perfect height building for that area in the Hutt. That area of the Hutt (Daly St area) was ruined in many ways.
I made a website today that shows how to build an earthquake resistant house, but it does not cover foundations....the government has already educated people about pile to bearer fixings. ru-vid.com?event=channel_description&redir_token=zNJ5zUbakhlzg4p1dfD1UtOtJbZ8MTU4NzU1MzU3M0AxNTg3NDY3MTcz&q=https%3A%2F%2Fmorrowj557.wixsite.com%2Fquake-resistant-home
