Poll: What's the best Summer kai?

Matthew Salmons Reporter from Christchurch Mail

The weather is, by the estimation of most, hot.
Heat affects everything, especially what you want to eat. Want a big winter roast? Probably not.
So what is best choice of warm weather kai? Let us know if we missed out any options and as always, we hope to use your comments in our conversations … View more

Can I use an Xbox 360 as a freeview of some sort ?

Karin from Harewood

I'm technologically challenged at the best of times ! I don't have a smart tv nor do I have a freeview box. I do however have a Xbox 360. To be able to watch tv, can I use this Xbox or do I need to get a smart tv or freeview box ? Any advice will be appreciated 😊

But there were successes. In particular the Steady As You Go programme now being promoted across NZ by Age Concern. There are 30+ groups in Christchurch. U3A is an organisation with strong membership growth, that could incorporate Steady as You Go groups into their activities. There is also enormous potential for community groups to engage in health education. This is very exciting, because so much has changed and most doctors, and the great majority of the public, are completely unaware of the new science, driving a revolution of new dietary ideas, and new exercise proposals.
