Objecting to proposed Cycleway Location on Ngatai Road

Kirsty from Otumoetai

Anyone affected by the proposed Cycleway for Otumoetai please complete the Council survey and tell them what you think - whether for, or against.

Perhaps the cycling lane should be moved altogether to a much safer, easier, and pleasanter place - such as Harbour Drive waterfront, instead of making Ngatai Road, Bureta even more congested and dangerous, devaluing properties with even less parking and adding more restrictions to accessing and backing safely out of driveways etc.... maybe spend the money on a roundabout or traffic lights to prevent all the accidents ...

Did you know that alcohol reduces rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
According to findings, the more you drink before bed, the more pronounced these effects. REM sleep happens about 90 minutes after we fall asleep. It's the stage of sleep when people dream, and it's thought to be restorative. Disruptions in REM sleep may cause daytime drowsiness, poor concentration, and rob you of needed ZZZs.
Alcohol may seem to be helping you to sleep, as it helps induce sleep, but overall it is more disruptive to sleep, particularly in the second half of the night if taken repeatedly.

Alcohol also suppresses breathing and can cause sleep apnea," or breathing pauses that occur throughout the night.

Studies prove that using alcohol as a sleeping aid can result in insomnia in the long run. However a drink or two here and there taken in a moderate quantity is of no harm.

Hard window treatments - What to consider

Owner from Curtain Clean BOP Ltd

In this article we will outline the features of hard window treatments and highlight key considerations when dressing your windows.

PLEATED BLINDS:
• Available as a single pleat or in a honeycomb design.
• Stack into a minimal space and come in a wide range of colours as a block-out of semitransparency.
• The honeycomb style is the best type of blind for heat retention because they have an air pocket to trap heat and are therefore energy efficient.

ROLLER BLINDS:
• A fabric blind that comes in a wide range of textures, colours, and opacity.
• Can be controlled by spring operation, a chain, or motorisation.
• Great in contemporary situations where large window have little or no stacking ability and clean, modern lines are required.
