No Victora Street Swimming pool, no Founders Theatre, no Celebrating Age Centre result people will not come into CBD, and now one of the only Kiwi Banks is also moving out. When affordable community facilities are disappearing in the CBD how can you attract the public to CBD to enable the shopkeepers to keep their doors open for business? The public will go to The Base where even the banks are open on weekends, soon we will find more empty shops in the city center.

Keeping your home cosy need not break the bank. Here are our top 10 frugal tips for keeping warm this winter:
1. Wonder where all your heat’s going? Light a candle and trace around your window edges, doors and vents – but make sure your curtains are out of the way. When the smoke starts going sideways you’ve found a draught. Window sealant tape is a cheap way to keep in the heat.
2. Don’t neglect the timer on your heat pump. Set it to come on at about 20 degrees an hour before you come home. You’ll make considerable savings compared to blasting it at 23 degrees all evening.
3. If your electric heater lacks a timer, you can buy a plug-in timer from as little as $10 from most hardware stores – they look like power adapters but have a digital interface allowing you to set appliances to come on up to seven days in advance.
4. Ensure your curtains and blinds fit snugly against the window frame. We’ve found this is more important than the material they’re made from. Floor-length curtains are better than sill-length curtains, which aren’t much better than no curtains at all.
5. Our testing found fan-less heaters (like oil-column models) often result in uneven, layered heat distribution. To avoid cold feet and a hot head, place a small desktop fan on the ground beside the heater. We found it helped an oil-column heater warm a room 3 times as fast.
6. Double-glazing doesn’t need to cost the earth. In fact, you can pick up DIY window insulator kits for under $15 per frame. All you need to do is cut the film to size and use a hair dryer to shrink it onto the window.
7. If you’re not worried about aesthetics, there’s an even cheaper way to stop heat escaping through your windows. Bubble wrap is a great temporary option, especially on internal windows in seldom-used areas. Secure it to the pane using Blu-Tack or double-sided tape, and make sure it sits flush against the frame.
8. Cat flaps are a major source of draughts. To improve the seal around the frame, unscrew the whole assembly, clean the area where it’s in contact with the door, then screw it back in tightly. Then add a thin line of silicone sealant around the frame. If draughts persist, stick some light rubber insulation tape on both sides of the flap.
9. A rug is a great way to add another layer of insulation, especially if you’ve got wooden or concrete floors. Putting down a thick rug in living areas will help prevent heat loss through the floor, especially if there’s no underfloor insulation.
10. Use pot lids when cooking. This can reduce the amount of moisture released into the air by three litres per day.

an evening Workshop,” Thursday 5 May 2022 from 6:30-8:30pm.
If your company is planning to or currently working with China, then this is the workshop for you! Come and spend 2 hours with Anne Cao, a business consultant specialising in the Chinese market, and learn some cultural cues and clues in order to steer clear of any cultural or religious faux pas.
Location: EarthDiverse Trust, 401 Anglesea Street, Hamilton Central, Hamilton; or on-line via Zoom.
TOPICS COVERED IN THIS SESSION:
Culture: a culture has certain values that are observed across many aspects of everyday life. Knowing which they are is a real help that impacts the quality of your contacts and experiences. Learn about the importance of family, loyalty, the crucial value of Guanxi, which can be translated as ‘relationships’ or ʻconnections’ and much more.
Social behaviour: What behaviours, gestures and initiatives should you adopt while doing business with Chinese partners and why? Which should you avoid? What is going to be seen as favourable behaviour for closing a deal with Chinese business partners?
Greetings and Thanks: Learn how to introduce yourself, how to greet other people at different times of the day and how to say goodbye, remembering that the initiative to use the language of your commercial counterparts, even if with only a few simple phrases, shows your willingness to establish a connection and get things right.
