There's hopes a shakeup at Auckland Transport will bring more democratic decisions. The council will now take control of transport policy and planning, as well as road control. A new Auckland Regional Transport Committee will be created to develop a 30-year transport plan – agreed to by Cabinet and the council. Howick Local board Chair Damian Light told Ryan Bridge it could mean locations for controversial infrastructure like cycleways and pedestrian crossings are more carefully chosen. He says it could mean they only end up in areas where people want them. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Winter is here and during these months, farmers often wonder about the impact of parasites on their livestock. In this episode, we dive into the critical questions surrounding parasite management during the colder months. Is it safe to assume that parasites are not a problem for our livestock over the winter? What specific parasites should be on our radar during this time of year?Dr Caryn Shacklock, laboratory manager at Howick for Afrivet technical and training services join us to explore the answers to these questions and more.

Gnarly Griffin, a company born out of the “love for all things tech and nerdy” is changing the game - literally. Started by Ryan Daniels and Juan Miller, the local company's goal is to bring people of similar interests together and teach others about board games. “The business idea was to create a company where individuals could easily find products they love and to join a community in which they feel they belong,” their website reads. The duo are aiming to promote, nurture, and facilitate the growth of nerd culture within South Africa. They currently host events not just for seasoned board gamers, but to educate others on how to play specific board games. Speaking to East Coast Radio, Miller said: "Stirring up a passion for all things nerd culture-related is extremely important to us! Our Gnarly events will continue on the 1st Tuesday of every month but with the interest we've already had; we have plans to expand to bigger and more exciting adventures! Follow our socials for more information and updates on these. Please show your support and remember to Geek Out!" They saw a gap in the market in the Pietermaritzburg, Hilton, Howick, and Midlands areas and took the opportunity to create a space where they could introduce people to nerd culture. Even without a push in marketing, in their first two months they grasped the interest of quite a few people. Gnarly Griffin doesn't just focus on one game, they have a number of options so fellow board game enthusiasts don't feel isolated. "The mission behind the Gnarly Griffin has always been to nurture and facilitate the growth, exposure and inclusiveness of 'nerd' culture. We here at GG (that's shorthand for 'Gnarly Griffin') are avid players of both video games and tabletop games. So, as part of our vision to grow the nerd community in our area and, hopefully soon, the world, we started planning events for monthly tabletop gaming. Our goal is to start a community of tabletop gamers that will spread the love of board games far and wide. Hence, the Gnarly Griffin Board Game Open Nights was born. It's loads of fun for all sorts of folks and families. We encourage you to reach out to us on our socials to find out more information," Daniels told ECR. Gnarly Griffin is constantly on the look out for venues in order to keep their costs down. They launched at the Hilton Arts Festival where they had figurines, comic books, and puzzles with their board games, reports The Witness.

Auckland Transport has identified the busiest routes in the city as March Madness kicks in. It won't come as a surprise that parts of Tāmaki Drive, Dominion Rd into the city and main roads around Howick and Pakuranga have been identified as some of the most heavily congested. More vehicles are expected on roads in the typically busy month with universities and schools in full swing after the summer break. AT is deploying bigger and extra buses on some routes to try and ease the congestion. Auckland Transport's Richard Harrison spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Should your doctor prescribe a placebo for you, instead of conventional medicine? And if she did, would it work? Is the double-blind placebo-controlled paradigm really the gold standard for medical research? Placebos are the most widely used treatments in the history of medicine. Thousands of studies show that they can be effective and make us happier and healthier. Yet confusion about what placebos are and how to measure their effects prevents some doctors from using them to help patients. Meanwhile, damage caused by the nocebo effect—the negative effect of expecting something bad—is not widely recognized. In The Power of Placebos: Unlocking Their Potential to Improve Health Care (Johns Hopkins UP, 2023), Jeremy Howick provides an interdisciplinary perspective on placebos and nocebos based on more than twenty years of research and data from over 300,000 patients. This book, the culmination of that research, offers practical ways for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to put placebo and nocebo research into practice to improve health outcomes. In addition to providing an overview of placebos and nocebos and explaining how belief systems and context can create physiological effects in the body, Howick advocates for a number of controversial positions, including why it may be unethical to include placebos in most clinical trials in which there are already established therapies and why physicians should consider using placebos regularly in their practices. Howick also underscores the importance of the therapeutic effects of interactions between health care practitioners and patients, in the context of care. The Power of Placebos dispels the confusion surrounding placebos and paves the way for doctors to help patients by enhancing placebo effects and avoiding the pitfalls of nocebos.

Auckland councillors are almost split down the middle on whether to establish separate Māori ward seats.  Councillors have voted against the idea, 11 votes to 9.  Howick Ward Councillor Maurice Williamson —who voted against the seats— told Mike Hosking that most public submitters were opposed to Māori seats.  He says the council already has separate Māori representation around the council table through the Independent Māori Statutory Board.  Whau Ward Councillor Kerrin Leoni —who voted for the seats— says the result is disheartening.  She says it's a lost opportunity to allow some great Māori to contribute to the future of the city.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The ANC Youth League in KwaZulu Natal is today expected to march to the Umgeni municipality to protest against the DA's Premier candidate Chris Pappas. The ANC is calling for his arrest, following allegations of corruption and nepotism. Earlier, the municipality obtained an interdict against the Youth League in the Pietermaritzburg High Court prohibiting a protest aimed at shutting down the town of Howick in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands, which was scheduled to take place on Monday.

Listen in to hear the benefits and the challenges of a ‘cluster' approach to developing a coaching culture. Find out how individual schools can benefit from the collective experiences of a Kãhui Ako' (learning community) and together, improve the quality of their conversations.

A highly critical report into the Auckland Anniversary weekend's devastating flood has highlighted multiple failings in the Auckland Council response, from the Mayor down.  An independent review, headed by former Police Commissioner, Mike Bush found the council's emergency management system was not prepared for an event of the magnitude and speed of the storm. The lack of preparedness was known to key council decision makers in advance, but at the time of the flood it was a work in progress. Senior leaders under-estimated the need to be visible and communicate with the public and the council's emergency management team lacked command, crisis leadership skills and operational experience. The report says the council should have declared a state of emergency sooner. Auckland Council Emergency Management and Civil Defence Committee chair and Howick councillor Sharon Stewart spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

And how many of them met a premature end for their impudence? This episode comes to us from our friends at Pushkin Industries. It's a podcast we love called Cautionary Tales by Tim Harford. We tell our children unsettling fairy tales to teach them valuable life lessons, but these cautionary tales are for the education of the grown-ups — and they are all true. Tim Harford (Financial Times, BBC, author of Messy and The Undercover Economist) brings you stories of awful human error, tragic catastrophes, daring heists and hilarious fiascos. They'll delight you and scare you, but also make you wiser. You can find Cautionary Tales on Apple, Spotify, Stitcher, or wherever you get your podcasts. Further reading and listening related to this episode: Roger Luckhurst's book, The Mummy's Curse , is the perfect guide to every angle of the tale. Nigel Blundell's The World's Greatest Mistakes gives a vivid tabloid-style version, and Snopes described and then fact-checked the tale of the Unlucky Mummy. Skeptoid covers and debunks various explanations for the curse. The Mesmeromania incident is covered in detail by Christopher Turner for Cabinet Magazine. Shankar Vedantam and Bill Mesler set it in wider context in their fascinating book Useful Delusions. Charle's Duhigg's story about Target and the pregnant teenager is in the New York Times Magazine. Academic studies on placebos, nocebos, and the BMJ article about the mummy's curse: Howick, J.

The uMgungunglovu District has emerged as the surprise leader among SA regions battling to engineer solutions to loadshedding. The region, which includes PMB, Howick and Mooi River, is launching massive battery plants to serve business hubs. James Martin, who heads Economic Recovery in the district says the batteries will be charged by Independent Power Producers and within a year electricity will be flowing to businesses to ensure they are unaffected during Eskom blackouts.
