From slopestyle to freeride and everything in between, is there anything Brett Rheeder can’t do!? The 2018 Red Bull Rampage winner laid down an incredible first run to secure gold at the epic freeride event. Growing up on the flat hills of Ontario followed by a recent move to the mountains of British Columbia looks to have given him the edge needed to dominate the steep faces of Virgin, Utah. Congrats to Brett on a historic victory at Red Bull Rampage!

US space agency Nasa has landed a new robot on Mars after a dramatic seven-minute plunge to the surface of the Red Planet.

The robot is called the InSight probe and it aims to study the deep interior of Mars.

This will make it the only planet – apart from Earth – that has been examined in this way.

Nasa’s mission control in California erupted with delight when it became clear InSight was safe on the ground.

The probe landed safely on a flat plain known as Elysium Planitia, close to the Red Planet’s equator.

Engineers are currently awaiting a health report and a picture from the probe that shows its surroundings.

What is different about this mission?
This will be the first probe to dedicate its investigations to understanding Mars’ interior.

Scientists want to know how the world is constructed – from its core to its crust. InSight has three principal experiments to achieve this goal.

The first is a package of Franco-British seismometers that will be lifted on to the surface to listen for “Marsquakes”. These vibrations will reveal where the rock layers are and what they are made of.

A German “mole” will burrow up to 5m into the ground to take the planet’s temperature. This will give a sense of how active Mars still is.

And the third experiment will use radio transmissions to very precisely determine how the planet is wobbling on its axis.

Car-free Queen St trial

November 28, 2018

Auckland councillors voted unanimously to trial car free roads in central Auckland, including Queen St.

This idea would radically transform the city centre.

Principal urban designer George Weeks said the “open streets” plan would make Queen St inaccessible to all vehicles except for buses, delivery vehicles and essential service vehicles like rubbish trucks.

Over the next decade public transport capacity will increase with rail, light rail, buses and ferries bringing hundreds of thousands of people into the city.

Federal St and High St are also being put forward as pedestrian-only roads, and Quay St near the waterfront as a pedestrian-friendly road.

Mayor Phil Goff said with the swelling number of people in the central city every day, there needed to be change soon.

The urban design team will come back to the Planning Committee next year with some concrete proposals.

Watch what happens when a Giant Trevally versus an Tern in this amazing fish eats bird clip from Blue Planet II. Usually Giant trevally are solitary hunters but they have come in numbers to try their luck at catching potential prey. Fledgling Tern are wary to spend too much time on the water but even flying close to the surface puts them in grave danger.

The North and South Islands are moving closer together after the effects of the Kaikōura earthquake in 2016.

The magnitude 7.8 earthquake caused dramatic changes to the sea bed and land, and also brought the North and South Islands five meters closer together.

However, scientists have discovered that the islands have continued to creep closer together over time!

The most north-eastern tip of the South Island, Cape Campbell, has now moved 35cm closer to Wellington.

As for Kaikōura, it has moved 15cm east and Wellington has moved five centimetres northeast.

Up to 145 pilot whales have stranded and died on a remote beach on Stewart Island over the weekend.

The Department of Conservation was notified on Saturday night. The whales had stranded themselves in two groups about 2km apart.

Over half of the whales had already died by the time they were found by DOC workers.

This stranding was one of many that occurred over the weekend.

On Sunday, 10 pygmy killer whales also stranded at Ninety Mile Beach. Two have since died and re-float attempts will continue over the week.

A sperm tohorā also beached in Doubtful Bay on Karikari Peninsula in Northland.

Stick Insects.

A stick with legs!

Some stick insect can camouflage in to different colour some are the same.
 They hid so they can hid from predators.

They can not hurt you but they can hid from you because some people like to hurt any type of

Australian worker overpaid by $500,000

A worker in Australia has been paid more than 100 times their normal salary because of a decimal point in the wrong place.

The worker was meant to get a salary of A$4,921.76 but instead found A$492,176 (NZ$537,000) in their account.

The mistake was reported by the territory’s auditor-general who put it down to human error.

The honest worker didn’t spend any of the extra money and returned it four weeks later.

He would have returned it earlier but he was based in a remote area of the Northern Territory and had to travel to a bank.

Hmmmm…….. what would you do?
