Temporary Fix

 

After having the temporary fix on the Auckland harbour bridge there have been six new lanes open on the bridge. A lot of people that live around the north shore area have been taking the western motorway on their way to work or to the city. 

Many aren't really happy to take public transport so thats probably why some work from home. Since this is only a temporary fix, this means it allows two extra lanes on the road. If you don't know what happened with the bridge try reading my previous blog post. 

Auckland Harbour Bridge

 

On Friday a horrible incident happened on the harbour bridge located in Auckland. This included two trucks toppling over each other.  Since this happened the bridge has been closed for repairing. This has caused at lot of traffic near that area. 

People around the north shore area will have to use buses or even work from home if its possible. This might only be a temporary fix because if it were to be permanent it would have a lot of people involved!

Control!

Yesterday my group and I had our second session in control tech. This week and last week was basically "preparing" because we mainly focused on naming our slides, folders and setting up our google classroom.

Since coronavirus is still happening, we have arranged seating places so that we are all spread out but we can still talk to each other and see the teacher. One thing I enjoy about this class is that we don't get dirty and we don't have to move a lot.

Tubro Touch!

Today was our second session of turbo touch. Since lockdown came in place a few weeks ago we sort of forgot some of the rules and skills that coach Chris taught us. 

After going over everything we played football touch. The aim of the game is to share the ball around your team and trying to tap the other team. Team 1 wore orange bibs, team 2 wore green bibs. I'd say this is my favourite game even though we've only had 2 sessions.

Cyber Attack

There has been a new cyber attack on the New Zealand stock exchange. This means that NZX has stopped all trading in most of its markets. It's the fourth cyber attack that has happened in the last week.

No one knows who is behind this whole attack. "Two to three percent of the profits of the traders could be wiped out by cyber attacks" New Zealand's Central bank said. The New Zealand government has now begun activating the national security system.
