“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.

Here at Trade Me we're chuffed to let you know we’ve launched our Kindness Store again for winter, supporting KidsCan and the great work they do making sure our tamariki have a fair start – after all, little Kiwis can’t learn when they’re hungry, wet, and cold.
We’ve stocked the store with all the essentials. Think fleece-lined rain coats and shoes to keep kids warm and dry, and warm, healthy food.
Just pick, click, and give now – we take care of the rest, making sure your purchase gets to KidsCan.

These belonged to my grandmother.
I've had them for 50 years.

Two for $15, or $10 each.
Lusterware Plate
Luster is an overglaze, that is applied over the vitrified, glaze-fired piece and requires a third firing. Luster is made of particles of real gold suspended in a liquid medium. Then it's fired in order to burn off the organic binder.

The CBD mainly in Main Street is a mess and a disgrace to a town that is called a city.

For years I have been saying make the CBD a mix of retail and apartmental. In other words compact the shopping and bring people right into the precinct by accommodating them. Make it living instead of lifeless.
It seems this might yet happen.
The owners of the mall had plans to increase the size of the mall considerably. Thank goodness they have not as now the current mall is virtually filled at long last and any increase in size will remove what little is left of the outside and the CBD would become disfunctional.
I have pitched for a Jackson Street (Petone)- like operation for Main Street with the council chipping in to help (rates holidays) and encourage in improvements and converting buildings to accommodate apartments and soliciting free paint for building exterior upgrade and "group" benefits for renovations.
Tracy Bull is quoted in The Leader as saying she loves the CBD the way it is. Whew. I wouldn't be supporting her opinion.
Councillor, Paul Lambert didn't see the CBD being required much above "ordinary" when I last spoke to him about it but I think that included in the mix should be boutique type of shops that along with the other major retail players will help to attract the public from the southern Wairarapa to come and shop in Upper Hutt instead of travelling further south to Lower Hutt or further north to Masterton.

If one read the local papers recently, one could be forgiven for thinking that all was sweetness and light in Kapiti. Not so. There is a whole bunch of people pretty angry about the way in which their recycling center has been closed. Will the local papers carry the story? Hell no. Despite being sent press releases following a very successful public meeting and a big response on Neighbourly, along with many letters to Council written by individuals, not a word has been written. So much for balanced reporting. Obviously the local papers are too afraid to print anything that might criticize the Council. It just underscores what a bunch of bullies they are. Wasn't it the Fascists who shut down the press? Meanwhile, individual senior Councillors have had no problem contacting key members of the group individually and accusing them of various misdemeanors. More bullying in my opinion. It smacks of trying to pick people off.
Fortunately for us, both kcnews.co.nz and waikanaewatch.org gave us comprehensive online coverage of the meeting and resolutions passed.
We did get one veiled reference to our actions in the Mayor's column in Kapiti News this week. In it, the mayor stated we had turned the issue into a political football. Well......lemme tell ya, your worship, you were right there at the kick-off and you couldn't wait to kick the recycling center into touch. That and moving the goalposts with a series of dodgy votes made for a pretty intriguing scenario. You can’t blame us for wanting to know the real story. We don't appear to have any investigative journalism in the district. In the column, the Mayor talks about being out on Kapiti Island, releasing Kokako. Nice for the Mayor to have a break on Kapiti island away from the wee pressing problem of a $5 million shortfall in the gateway project. He is, of course, more than welcome to give that the boot.
