It works for me, BUT I need a VPN enabled to read it. The Herald link is a "pay to view" article which the Archive link bypasses. If you don’t have a VPN, take a Google for "Feijoa cake recipes", there’s lots of links to different sites.
Baked some Feijoa cup-cakes today, came out great. Not overly sweet but really yummy.
I like trying new coffee, and am currently a Hummingbird fan. Have tried all their varieties, except the caffeine free, and liked them all. Not overly roasted so they give a smoother taste to me.
We’ve got lots as well. Looking at how to use them in other dishes, I found a Herald article - "24 Feijoa Recipes".
It’s an archive link to skip the "pay-for" - https://archive.ph/TzMXj
That’s an interesting find, thanks for letting us know. I’d not heard of Ark Coffee before. Looks a bit pricey for my pocket, otherwise I’d have given them a try.
It seems Pharmac are current;y close to subsidising CGM’s and pumps for all Type 1 Diabetics. That should prevent the need to bypass the system to get the meds/devices needed.
I wait until it really happens on 1 July 2024 to be sure though. Wouldn’t surprise me if Diabetics who have good control over their condition might be excluded due to costs.
This seems in respect to continuous glucose monitors (CGM’s), a device used by diabetics to continuous monitor their blood glucose levels rather than finger pricking and testing blood samples. A CGM requires sensors which need replacing regularly.
First off there are 2 types of diabetes. Type 1 where the body no longer produces its own insulin, and Type 2 where the bodies insulin levels produced are reduced. Type 1 requires insulin to be introduced via injections or pump. Type 2 typically is controlled by oral medications.
For a lot of diabetic patients a CGM massively improves their control of glucose levels which in turn greatly reduces the chances of developing diabetes related complications.
Pharmac were in the process of evaluating CGM’s such that the very high ongoing costs would be removed, or at least reduced, for all NZ Type 1 diabetics. They were already specially funded for some really unwell youngsters, but I saw recently that the new government seems to have withdrawn that. IDK the stated reasoning though, I guess to save money.
I’m a T1 diabetic, it is a VERY serious lifelong condition, typically appearing in youngsters, I was 9 when it appeared, but sometimes it occurs in older patients.
After making a coffee, we often add a small glug of whiskey to the cup, whatever’s on the shelf, tastes great.
I self-grind and each double shot espresso takes 12-15g. Measured it recently to gauge the cost per brew ratio. Could be your brewing process idk.
I’m sure there’s lots of questioning how this happened.
I wonder how the pumps system handles daylight savings?
This event happens every 4 years, so this date change is nothing unusual.
I remember the millennium bug fiasco, where strict warnings were broadcast that computers may fail on the year 1999 to 2000 date change. Companies were panicking, one of my customers at the time insisted we run tech checks and send a report to them to prove our systems could cope.
The Archive system changes often. Until a few weeks ago, I too could open them without a VPN, but now I need it enabled to do so. 🤷
