The weird and wonderful things about online trading

Hi Auckland,

What was your best purchase on an online marketplace, like Trade Me or Neighbourly?

Hi Auckland,

What was your best purchase on an online marketplace, like Trade Me or Neighbourly?

A 1950s aircraft fuselage could be yours after a Waiuku resident listed their "old warbird" on Trade Me.

The Royal New Zealand Bristol Freighter flew as part of the Royal New Zealand Air Force during the Vietnam War. It was then purchased and shipped to Whenuapai-Ardmore in 1978 and then sold on to a Waiuku local. The sellers purchased the land at a later date, and thus the plane.

The listing starts at $18,000 and at time of publishing, has been added to almost 900 users' watchlists.

Low levels of digital literacy among staff is a challenge facing many manufacturing businesses, and strengthening those skills is not only essential to meet rapid technological changes in the workplace, it’s vital to increasing productivity.

“As technology progresses and we move further into Industry 4.0, workers must be upskilled to keep pace with new systems and processes, especially older employees who are not digital natives, but who have invaluable experience in their fields,” says Competenz Sector Manager Jahn Vannisselroy

Competenz has developed a new micro-credential to meet the demands brought about by Industry 4.0.

🌸 Artistry of Flowers: Ikebana for Beginners
➡️ Starts Monday 26 July

Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arranging. It is seen as more than simply putting flowers in a container, but a disciplined art form in which the arrangement is a living thing where nature and humanity are brought together. It is steeped in the philosophy of developing a closeness with nature.

Our five-week Ikebana course will introduce you to traditional and innovative Japanese flower arrangements of the Sogetsu School. Work with nature in an individual and imaginative form through colour, line and texture.

For more information and to enrol, visit our website at villagesquare.org.nz/enrol or contact Olivia at community@villagesquare.org.nz
