Back in the saddle for the first time in a while. Frothing over the upcoming Jenny Don't & The Spurs show at the Piha RSA and playing all sorts of tunes, new, old, familiar and strange.
Whakarongo mai! Campbell is at the controls this week with all the killer selections traversing Jazz, Boogie, Tropical, Soul and Disco. @kirkjames13 @soul_scourer @95bfm
It is a period of undress. Maverick spaceships, with a nourished and engaged state of mind, have won their first victory against the Old Order. During the battle, Maverick spies managed to spread stimulating vibes to disrupt the Order’s ultimate weapon, Status Quo, a monotony of repeated mistakes that are destroying our planet. Pursued by the Order's dreary followers, dr.Snikkers races home aboard his starship, custodian of the tunes that can save all people and restore gratitude and love to the galaxy….
~ universal harmony ~
A soundtrack for creative minds and people who spread gratitude in a confronting way.
The Growing up in New Zealand study revealed an increase in depression in fathers post childbirth. It found that 2.3 per cent of men experienced depression during pregnancy increasing to 4.3 per cent nine months after the child was born. bFM reporter Tess Barnett spoke to Dr. Lisa Underwood about the statistics.
Recent research has shown New Zealanders are the most wasteful people in the developed world, producing 3.86kg of waste per capita per day. The problem is set to get worse with China refusing to take much of the low grade plastic is has previously disposed of for us. I spoke with Jo Knight from Zero Waste NZ about waste in Aotearoa and what we need to do to produce less of it. I began by asking her why we produce so much waste.
Late last week the AUT Gambling and Addictions Research Centre, Hapai Te Hauora Tapui, The Salvation Army, and The Problem Gambling Foundation announced their support for three new global gambling guidelines. The guidelines aim to provide straightforward quantitative limits for people of legal gambling age who want to make more informed choices about their gambling.
To reduce gambling harm, these three guidelines must be followed -
HOW MUCH? Gamble no more than one percent of household income per month.
HOW OFTEN? Gamble no more than four days per month.
HOW MANY? Gamble regularly on no more than two types of gambling or games.
News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston speaks to Associate Professor and Director of the Gambling and Addictions Research Centre at AUT Maria Bellringer, who was part of the research process that led to these guidelines. They discuss why global gambling guidelines are important, how they might be used in Aotearoa, and how receptive the gambling industry is to public health and regulatory advice on gambling habits.
