Is begging an issue in your Auckland community? Rough sleeping and begging within five metres of retail buildings in Tauranga has been banned after a controversial bylaw was passed. But it's got people wondering - could it work in Auckland too? To read more about this, click here.
Do you think a ban would make a difference here or is it a terrible idea? What other options could be looked into? Are you a business owner or customer with thoughts on the topic? Share your views and suggestions with us in the replies below!

These one-way valves can weaken, causing blood to pool, which leads to bulbous, protruding veins. The discomfort of varicose veins is often described as fatigue, heaviness, itching or even cramps.
Historically, treatment of varicose centred on surgical removal of varicose veins under general anaesthetic. However, endovenous catheter ablation has become so successful that surgery is seldom needed. Endovenous means "working inside the vein" and ablation means "to close off". Under local anaesthetic, a laser fibre is threaded into the varicose vein and used to close off the problem veins, prompting the blood to redirect itself. Compression stockings are worn for two weeks post-treatment and regular walking is recommended.
There is no need for time off work. If you have varicose veins that are affecting you call Vein & Laser for a consultation with our doctor, vein physician Elisabeth De Felice.

FRANKLIN CHESS CLUB
Hello all just thought now is a Good time to pass on some information about our Club to both new and established players.
We meet once a month (currently but depending on membership that may change to twice a month)
Individual Membership cost to join the Franklin Chess Club is currently $15 a year Family Membership is $30 a year ( but again this may change if we have sufficient members to warrant meeting twice a month ) bear in mind that for example to join the Howick Pakuranga Chess Club it costs $140 per year for a senior membership, as far as strong clubs go that is the normal membership cost ,of course Howick Pakuranga have titled players and meets once a week for 3 plus hours per night, but still I'm sure you would agree $15 per year for our club is not outrageous it is only meant to cover room rental which with the previous membership numbers it did not.
I have ideas to improve our Club for example we will play a Rapid Club Championship next year also we will look at joining the New Zealand Chess Federation and I will instigate a Franklin Chess Club rating system for all players etc.
We will also play other Chess Clubs I have contacted and am in the process of arranging an away Chess Match with the Thames Chess Club they are keen probably in February March or April next year on a Sunday, let me know if theoretically depending on the date you would be interested.
Below are shortcuts to the Franklin Chess Club Facebook Page and Facebook Group you are Welcome to join either or both. Any questions about anything Chess related Please feel free to ask me. Our next club night is on February 7th .

Whether self employed or you choose to work for an existing business, the order of the ways we experience these doors may be in the above order. How one manages to negotiate these doors may be learnt through hindsight, regardless of age.
The In Door is often the first contact you have with a company. You may be greeted by a receptionist, or an automated sign in. Either of these options generate an individual recording of you. The receptionist asks for your name and reason for visit and then alerts the according person to your arrival, or the automated machine will prompt you to enter your name and reason for visit, and alert the person upon your arrival. Either way, your first impression is being recorded. No matter how many times you use the In Door, treat each entrance with the same exuberance as if it were the first.
The Out Door is often the last contact you have with a company. You may be farewelled by security, staff or an automated sign off. When you use the Exit Door leave it like you want to come back in. This acknowledgement of using the In Door and the Out Door as if the two were associated is recognition that the correct respect of these doors can lead to an opening of the Both Ways Door.
The Both Ways Door is often the Door that many employees want access to however, through indifference use of the first two Doors, entry may be difficult or denied. This Door can give you access to the building regardless of your location on site. This is because your first impression through the In Door remained constant, with the last impression that was recorded at the Out Door. When you have used both the In Door and the Exit Door with this realisation then the Revolving Door will be presented to you.
The Revolving Door is to me, the most impressionable Door of all. When you are able to access a company using this Door, it is a respect earnt from both sides. As a company, your duty was to gather data about this prospective employee, and it was the prospective employees duty to provide the company with accurate, measurable data. Make each exit through the Out Door count so that the In Door is always welcoming to you and those that you work with. This will enable the Revolving Door to make itself appear.
As a Professional Temporary the Revolving Door is the Door that I choose to work towards.
