Night and Day – shortest day of the year

Written By Kim Manunui

Fri June 21st 2024 8:50am is winter Solstice in NZ ... the shortest day of the year with sunrise at 7:33 am and sunset at 5:11pm with a total of 9.37:53 daylight hours in 24.

From here we slowly head back to the longest day with summer Solstice on Sat 21st Dec at 10:19 pm.

It also marks the first official day of winter for 2024 turning into spring on Mon 23rd Sept some 95 days later and of course summer on Dec 21st some 88 days after that or 183 days from winter Solstice being half a year before we start heading back the other way again.

And the relevance … we’ll this denotes the changing seasons we go through every year which in a way also emphasises the cyclical nature of economics, that seasons come and go and so do economic cycles so while we may be feeling a bit of economic frost right now, rest assured the sun will be well and truly on our back in due course.

So what better time to make a pact to turn this whole thing around and start heading in the right direction, to decide to not participate in economic recessionary, to start taking steps toward growth and a brighter future, turn night into day and put this all behind us.

Economic factors abound that we have to still deal with but that’s not to say we can’t forge ahead with positive expectation for the not too distant future, that we will pull through and come out the other side all in good time …

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
