A 'cheeky' green turtle has been released after 11 months of rehabilitation. Smee, named after Captain Hook's first mate, was accidentally hooked by a fisherman off the Ōmokoroa coast last year. Smee was initially triaged by a team at Auckland Zoo who found he had swallowed a second fishing hook. Both hooks were removed and Smee's health improved at Sea Life Kelly Tarlton's Turtle Rehabilitation Centre before staff released him back into the ocean off Tauranga on Monday. The moment was bittersweet for the staff but lead turtle rehabilitator Tyler Hall said the other turtles 'probably breathed a sigh of relief'.

Chewing, crunching, pen-clicking, coughing, loud breathing, and slurping - how do these sounds make you feel?   For some people, these everyday sounds can trigger overwhelming feelings of anger, anxiety, or disgust. It's a condition called misophonia, which translates to "hatred of sound" and it's more common than you might think!   According to a recent study from King's College London and Oxford University, about 20% of people have misophonia symptoms. That's a lot of people! But many of them may not realise they have the condition.
