Poll: What do you think of CCTV on private homes?

Kylie Klein Nixon Reporter from Homed

I'm writing a story about CCTV security cameras on homes, what's the best system, how to install them, and whether or not they're a useful deterrent.
I wondered what you thought about private security cameras. Are they good for the neighbourhood? Or a sign troubled communities?

The Art of a Club Sandwich

New Zealand School of Food & Wine

In New Zealand, business entertaining often occurs at drinks party events with elegant finger food hosted in the office reception or board room. The menu must be varied, with some vegetarian and gluten-free options and offer a mixture of fresh and crunchy palate-tempting snacks.

In New Zealand, business entertaining often occurs at drinks party events with elegant finger food hosted in the office reception or board room. The menu must be varied, with some vegetarian and gluten-free options and offer a mixture of fresh and crunchy palate-tempting snacks.

The Classic Club Sandwich remains one of these 'comfort dishes' that is ever popular but it needs to hold together so that the components don't slip alway and fall on your special jacket or silk dress.

For the past 9 years we have offered Questioning? – a facilitated support group for women new to experiencing attraction to other women. This year we have decided to offer the group online, this means we are not limited by numbers in regards to physical distancing and we are not limited to receiving enrolments just from Auckland.

Questioning is designed to be a supportive, non-judgemental women's space to talk about same sex attraction? It is participant directed and an opportunity to explore topics like:

• What does same sex attraction mean to you?

• Identity labels...e.g Bi, Queer, Lesbian, Dyke

• Stereotypes and gender stereotypes

• Being in an opposite sex relationship and having same sex attraction

• Finding community and dating

• Being out in society

• If you want to come out, how to tell family, friends, work colleagues

• Sex with women

• Relationships with women

• You, your children and a new relationship



The details are:

Questioning? and more

4 x Online sessions

Wednesdays, 3, 10 , 17 and 24 June
