With the 75+ population projected to double in 20 years’ time, it’s more important than ever to choose a retirement village that is equipped to support you when you’re fully independent as well as if you need care.

That’s why Ryman villages plan ahead by offering independent living in apartments and townhouses, assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome care and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care.

We offer a higher ratio of care in our villages so that if your needs change, you have priority access to our care centres.

If you want to spread a little kindness in our community in a simple but meaningful way, have you thought about joining Good Bitches Baking?
As our list of deserving recipients in Hamilton grows we need more Good Bitches (gender inclusive btw) to get on board and volunteer. There is no requirement to be a pro-baker, I certainly am not. Just some home baking, once a month or so, that can be picked up from your home. And if baking isn't your thing, some people volunteer to simply collect and deliver the baking! www.gbb.org.nz...

Prostate Cancer Support Group Update
GO DRY JULY PROJECT
This was a resounding success, and we want to thank everyone who supported us in this project. Your interest in what we were fundraising for struck a note with so many people. We abstained from all forms of alcohol from 01 July through to early August and many recognised that challenge by donating a total of $3039:00 to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. It is so easy just to say the word thank you, but we want you all to know that your donations are just so valuable as we work with the Prostate Cancer Foundation to support those people that are challenged by cancer.

Your support is all the more valuable as we do not have the backing of any government funding for our endeavours, we have to rely on donations, sponsorships, bequests from estates, and everyday human kindness. However, you may rest assured we are working hard to have that changed.

The Kris Hayward petition to Parliament is all about pressing the government for a funded prostate cancer screening program for the men of New Zealand, just as the women have for breast cancer, particularly as we lose more men annually from the ravages of prostate cancer than the ladies lose from breast cancer. It is NOT about keeping a score on losses, it is about saving every person we can – every loss affects families, relationships, and communities. Such a situation is just not fair. We are committed to seeing a positive change made. Anyone over the age of 18 can sign the petition online and below is the link that will take you to the form. Please ask all of your friends to sign as well; we want an avalanche of signatures in support of us in this campaign. Think about his fact – 1 in 8 men will be affected by prostate cancer in their lifetime – it could be your brother, uncle, nephew, father, grandfather, and yet it need not be so. We recognise not everyone can be saved, but every man we lose has a direct effect on a family and their local community. Here is the link, please help us to help you.

tinyurl.co.nz...

We are survivors and will strive to see that change takes place – in that way we can say thank you for the life we have been given after prostate cancer. Want to know more about prostate cancer? Just call Ron Greenwood on 027 276 0336 or email him at cambridge@prostate.org.nz and he will be pleased to hear from you and point you in the right direction.

PIZZA & PRIZES To Support Blue

Our Cambridge Support Group are running an entertaining evening to support the Prostate Cancer Foundation on Thursday, 18th of August @ 5.30pm. The venue is ONYX Café & Bar (Upstairs) 70 Alpha Street, Cambridge.

Tickets are just $25.00 with pizza provided and a subsidised cash bar is available. Matt Hicks will be running a series of quiz sessions and raffles will be offered for purchase and drawn on the night. Come along and help us to raise a few dollars for prostate cancer and enjoy a night out. Tickets are available from ONYX, or you may email Ron Greenwood at cambridge@prostate.org.nz

Kind regards and best wishes to all our supporters.

How to Care for Your Washing Machine

Looking after your washing machine will maximise its life and performance.
Our member surveys indicate that the average life expectancy of a top loader is seven years, and 12 for a front loader. A little care and maintenance can go a long way, so here are some tips to help you get the most from your washer.

Watch out for keys and coins
Keys and coins kill washing machines. Check pockets before washing, and look for dirt and objects left in the drum, or hidden in the rubber seals after each wash.

Check your pump filter
Many washing machines have these as a last line of defence against foreign objects. Look for a small hatch low down on the outside of your machine. Check this monthly and clear anything that shouldn’t be in there — use a towel or tray to catch the water when you open it up. If your machine isn’t draining, this is the first thing to check before calling for a repair.

Limit your washer's spin speed
Keep this to 1200rpm, even if your machine goes up to 1400 or even 1600rpm. Higher speeds reduce the life of belts, drum bearings and door seals, without removing much more water.

Don’t use fabric softener with laundry detergent
Fabric softeners react to create a waxy residue called “scrud”. No one wants “scrud” – especially as it clings to unseen parts of the machine, such as under the agitator. If blobs break free, they can leave greasy marks on laundry.

Regularly clean the detergent dispenser
Check the manual to see how to remove it, and wash it thoroughly in warm soapy water.

Clean the door seal
Remove water from the door seal after each wash (if you notice mould, wipe the rubber seal with hot water and detergent). Between washes, leave the door and detergent dispenser open – that lets the interior dry.

Use the service cycle
Many machines have a specific “service” or “cleaning” cycle. It helps your machine smell fresh, prevents detergent build-up, and keeps it cleaning at its best.

If your machine doesn’t have a service cycle, run a hot wash with a full-strength powder detergent once a month.

A study of Croatian children attending daycare saw half of them given probiotics and the other half a placebo - after three months those taking probiotics had a lower risk of respiratory tract infections and experienced less time unwell when infected.

Swedish researchers also conducted a study on 272 adults and found that the group using probiotics experienced the milder cold and flu symptoms and less time infected with a virus.

It also found cases of the cold and flu among participants those who had taken probiotics averaged 6.2 days compared to the 8.2 days those taking a placebo experienced.

As consultant gastroenterologist and UNSW Professor of Medicine Emad El-Omar explains, the gut microbiome's primary role is to educate our immune system about our environment.

The lion's share of our immune system - around two-thirds of all immune cells – is concentrated in digestive system which is why UNSW’s Microbiome Research Centre is exploring how the gut microbiome’s make-up affects immune responses and changes with various disease progression.
