The all-new Quantum PAR series LED grow lights, also known as Quantum boards, are fast becoming the preferred option in the North American commercial and domestic market. Now, New Zealand growers are being given the opportunity to try them out for themselves.

Quantum PAR LED grow lights combine the most efficient LED diodes from Samsung – LM301B – with a powerful Meanwell XLG dimmable driver to create the crème de la crème of LED grow lights. This unique combination also allows for a far lower heat output than a standout grow light, with passive cooling taking the place of fans.

According to Herbal House spokesperson Matt Monk, the new LED grow lights are already proving themselves in a professional and home growing capacity.

“Their power consumption is just 400 watts, and when you compare that to its 1.2-metre flowering footprint, it’s a no brainer that you can grow more for less with the Quantum PAR series.

“We’re not surprised growers throughout the United States and Canada are making them their first choice. After all, with a light output of 2.6 μmol/J, it’s one of the most efficient lights on the market.”

The Quantum PAR series LED grow light packs a punch with its wide, low-profile panel design to create fewer shadows, while also offering more flexibility for those with roof height restrictions.

“Make no mistake, from the lower energy costs to the maximum canopy coverage and high-quality components, it doesn’t get much better than the Quantum PAR Series LED grow light,” Matt says.

If you would like to know more about the all-new Quantum PAR series, get in touch today. Email matt@herbals.co.nz, phone 0508 254 258, visit www.herbals.co.nz or visit the showroom at Waipareira Avenue in Henderson, Auckland.

Launch of new writing by Migrants

Helping others find the courage to write has been a long-time goal of Rotorua writer Angie Belcher. Now, with the support of Rotorua English Language Partners, Rotorua Civic Arts Trust, Rotorua Creative Communities and the Matatuhi Foundation, her dream of running a series of creative writing workshops for migrants has come to fruition.

The project, known at To Our Shores involved teaching and mentoring groups of migrants as they negotiated the process of telling and writing their stories in poetry and prose then having selections of the writing artistically interpreted before being published as a collection.

‘Giving voice to new New Zealanders gives them the opportunity to share their stories, hopes and dreams as well as helping us understand their needs’ says Belcher.’ It provides opportunities for us to gain cultural knowledge and to develop greater empathy towards each other’.

Brazilian born graphic artist Lucia Lemos Monteiro Conceicao, a workshop participant, has been busy artistically interpret the writing as a series of bold, colourful photographic prints which portray aspects of the writing and culture shared by the individual participants.

‘Reading the poetry and studying the country helps me connect with the writer,’ says Conceicao who has found Vanuatu the most challenging to date. ‘I had never heard of this country so had to learn so much. Now, I love it!”

Known in Brazil for her artistic designs portrayed on fabric, this will be her first exhibition in New Zealand since arriving in 2018 and the first using photographic prints.

The exhibition to be held at The Rotorua Arts Village from27 March to 18 April will coincides with the launch of Mixed- a Collection of Creative Writing by Newcomers To Our Shores being published by Stromboli Press.

The book, a collection of poems and stories illustrated with the art, are as diverse as the writers themselves. Ranging from war-torn Bosnia to the frenetic pace of life in Japan, all twenty five contributors delve into creative writing to express and share the anxieties, dreams and journeys that preceded their arrival to our shores.

It is hoped that those who get the opportunity to read the words, hear stories and appreciate the art will have a greater appreciation of the migrant’s struggles, separations and successes as they negotiate both a new land and new ways of expressing their feelings.

BowelScreening offers at home bowel screening tests for everyone

Live News

February 11, 2020

Source: Press Release Service – New Zealand

Cancer is never a comfortable topic to talk about, but it is one that statistically will affect the vast majority of New Zealanders in some form. Whether that being personally diagnosed, or know a family member, friend or loved one being affected by it. Even with this in consideration, discussions centred around cancers that we sometimes consider “embarrassing” or “taboo” often fall by the wayside. An example of one such cancer is colorectal cancer (CRC) – this being colon, or bowel cancer. But it is important that discussions on CRC are brought into the limelight as it has the second-highest cancer mortality rates in New Zealand, claiming the lives of approximately 1200 people per year, and 3500 people a year are diagnosed with CRC. These figures are equivalent to the combined rates of prostate and breast cancer deaths, propelling New Zealand to having some of the highest rates of CRC in the world.

One of the positives about CRC is that if detected early, the rate of successful treatment is high. Detection relies on a simple non-invasive screening. The New Zealand government has recognised this, and over the past couple of years has begun to roll out free bowel cancer screenings for individuals between the ages of 60-75 years old. While this is a step in the right direction, the rollout process has been slow. The nationwide rollout is expected to take 6 years, as it is adopted one region at a time.

Currently, free testing is available for these district health boards:

Waitemata DHB
Hutt Valley DHB
Wairarapa DHB
Counties Manukau DHB
Southern DHB
Nelson Marlborough DHB
Hawke’s Bay DHB
Lakes DHB
Whanganui
MidCentral.

It is projected that Auckland DHB will join this list late 2020, with the entire National Bowel Screening Pilot Programme being completed by June 2021

But what if you are not in these regions, don’t want to wait years, and are not in the 60-75 year-old age bracket? Bowel cancer doesn’t discriminate by region, and in regards to age, it does not only affect people over 60. While it is true that the risks increase in people over 60 (affecting about 1 in 100 people), younger individuals are still at risk:

The Highest risk is males, at 44 people out 100,000 per a year.
Females have a risk of 38 people out of 100,000 per a year.
1 in 1000 people between the ages of 35-40
2 in 1000 people 45 years old
3 in 1000 people 50 years old
5 in 1000 people 55 years old

Most countries that have free bowel screening programmes, such as Australia, offer it to people over the age of 50, whereas NZ is only targeting people over the age of 60. This leaves a significant gap in people that may need to be screened.

BowelScreening.co.nz looks to remedy this, by allowing everyone to proactively look after their health and not fall through the cracks in the system. No matter your age or where you live in NZ. This is achieved by offering a quick, free, simple online assessment to determine if you require a screening test to be sent to your home. The test is affordable and can be performed in the privacy of your own home. It involves taking a couple of samples of toilet water with the patented test card. This card is then mailed to a lab for processing, you will be notified of your results within 3 weeks, as well as if any further steps are needed to be taken.

All of this is done comfortably in the privacy of your own home, in your own time.

“There is no doubt that bowel screening saves lives. The earlier we can detect, the better the chance of successful treatment is” – Dr Alasdair Patrick, Head of Gastroenterology Department, Middlemore Hospital

So if you are worried about bowel cancer and may not have access to the facilities to put your mind at ease, perhaps it is time to take BowelScreening.co.nz’s bowel screening test.

OTTAWA, Sept. 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Lyre Miner and Harp Miner, two recently released cryptocurrency mining rigs from www.BitHarp.com (BitHarp Group Limited), are quickly turning out to be gamechangers in the global crypto market. Within their short lifespan, these two products have shown promises of revolutionizing this thriving industry by offering superfast ROI for seasoned miners as well as beginners looking to try their hand at crypto mining.

The ability of Lyre Miner and Harp Miner to generate quick return on investment can be attributed to the high hash rates of the products.
