Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's living in Agadez, Niger.  Spending more time in town, Agadez, as bad people in the desert are spoiling the good life.

Fonterra says it is looking at alternatives to dumping waste into a Tararua river following a backlash from the community.

The dairy cooperative dumps two million litres a day of milk powder waste from its Pahiatua Dairy Factory into the Mangatainoka River, a tributary of the contaminated Manawatu River.

It has been seeking resource consents to continue doing so for 22 years, shifting its dumping site to the Mangatainako River in five years' time.

However, in a statement issued on Friday, Fonterra says following community consultation two months ago it has decided to seek alternatives, such as irrigating to land or diverting the waste through the local waste treatment plant.

Mangatainoka? I've seen calcium fortified orange juice, but does this mean Tui counts as calcium fortified beer?
