Creating a long-term local solution to the growing skills shortage in the engineering sector is the aim of a new philanthropic investment fund at Momentum Waikato.

The Waikato Engineering Careers Association (WEEF), which will focus on innovation, diversity and equity in the industry, was launched by the Waikato Engineering Careers Association (WECA) at its recent 20th Anniversary event at The University of Waikato’s impressive new Pā.

Hanga-Aro-Rau, the Workforce Development Council for Manufacturing Engineering and Logistics, applauds this new Fund, as the skills gap is currently set to grow by 38 per cent to 40,000 workers by 2028.

Eating with dentures can be challenging, but not impossible. Your friends at The Denture Man are here to share some tips to help you enjoy your food without any trouble.

• Eat soft foods that are easy to chew and swallow, such as eggs, yogurt, fish, and mashed potatoes. Avoid spicy, crunchy, or sticky foods that can hurt your gums or loosen your dentures.
• Use denture adhesive to keep your dentures secure and prevent food from getting stuck. Clean your dentures every night and store them in water or denture solution.
• Cut your food into small pieces and chew on both sides of your mouth. Use a fork or spoon to bring food to the back of your mouth and chew slowly.
• With these tips, you can eat with dentures comfortably and confidently. You can also try new foods as you get used to your dentures.

Don’t let dentures stop you from enjoying your meals. Contact The Denture Man today and eat easily with dentures!

Downsize to a Richer, Happier Life

Hilda Ross Retirement Village

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

What do you want to do with your life? Would you like to travel, downsize, have more money and more free time? Do you ever feel like your stuff holds you back, but the thought of decluttering just seems too hard? If so, you’re not alone.

This is the first of a series of articles dedicated to helping you to downsize, declutter and rightsize your life, brought to you by Ryman Healthcare in conjunction with decluttering expert Peter Walsh.

When helping people to declutter, Peter never starts by focusing on the stuff itself. Every item in your home has a story, so the first step is to think about what that story is.

Maybe you’re thinking about downsizing as you approach retirement but still have all the artwork and toys and books that belonged to your now adult children, and don’t know what to do with them. Perhaps letting go of that old sports equipment means letting go of a vision you had of yourself that no longer fits who you are. Maybe you’re holding onto heirlooms you have no use for because you want to keep the memory of the person alive.

No matter what your situation is, it’s easier to declutter and downsize if you start by identifying the feelings that underlie your attachment to your stuff before tackling the stuff itself.
