Neuroplasticity - the ability of the brain to make new neural pathways given the right stimulus - isn’t new, our brains have always been plastic, it’s just taken us a while to realise it. And now that we’re up with play, every Tim, Dick and Harry is jumping on the proverbial bandwagon. So, what’s the big deal?

BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury, who defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. The film traces the meteoric rise of the band through their iconic songs and revolutionary sound, their near-implosion as Mercury’s lifestyle spirals out of control, and their triumphant reunion on the eve of Live Aid, where Mercury, facing a life-threatening illness, leads the band in one of the greatest performances in the history of rock music. In the process, cementing the legacy of a band that were always more like a family, and who continue to inspire outsiders, dreamers and music lovers to this day. |

Foundation-Dispelling the Myths
Nov 30, 2018 7:00 AM
As far as The Foundation is concerned, I have become more passionate about the work of the Foundation as I have learned more about the way it works. I believe that it is the engine room of Rotary, the place where all the good work is done. The way the Foundation works is not fully understood by most Rotarians and because of that they and their clubs do not give it the support I believe it deserves. |

Life and Times
Feb 08, 2019 7:00 AM
It was pre-ordained that I would be a sports-geek. Saturday September 26, 1981 my father Steve wrapped me up in a blanket, probably a red and black one and took off to Burwood Park. Sporting about as much hair as I do now, the 107-day old me was signed up to become the youngest ever member of the East Christchurch Shirley Cricket Club. I still know the words to “Give it a Boot Robbie” and remember – with zero fondness – the taste of raspberry jam AND marmite on the same piece of “Canterbury Toast”, a pre-shield game ritual at our one-eyed house. I did more than a decade as a sports journo and while not for one second do I regret leaving that field to get into financial advice, It’s still nice to hold court every now and then and tell stories about how I once made Richie McCaw blush, how squash dynamo Joelle King led me into the women’s changing rooms full of nude women and how I got to ask Andre Agassi about how much of his book was exaggerated for dramatic affect. |
