The loss of a baby is one of life's most cruel blows. It goes against everything that we feel should happen. Retired nurse, mid-wife and health visitor, Elizabeth Postle, has helped many families cope with this loss.
Here are some of her thoughts and advice, along with a story of how one family learned to live with their loss.
When the unthinkable death of a baby happens, the shock and chaos of the first few days helps the time to pass. There are visits from doctors, specialists and police. There is lots of activity trying to establish why the precious baby died.
Sadly there is always a lot of guilt around for parents wondering if they'd done something wrong. Was baby too hot, too cold, fed properly. There are so many questions, but sadly a cause is not always found.
It takes months for families to come to terms with what has happened. They never forget or totally get over something like this. But they learn to cope from day to day.
How long a lifespan anyone has is due to genetics, lifestyle and the environment into which we are born. None of us have total control. Sometimes a baby's life is just not viable.
If you ask any parent whose young baby or child has died: "would you have missed the opportunity to have known the love of this child or your love for them?" the answer is always that they wouldn't have missed it for the world, in spite of the loss.
Their short lives are very precious and the pain and anguish is caused because you loved them. Parents would not want to have missed that.
Parents today know that babies recognize their parent's voices from inside the womb. They can hear the music that parents have listened to during pregnancy. You have felt their movements.
If a baby is destined to have only a few days or weeks of life, you have witnessed all these things and shared almost a year with them. You have been there to nurture, support and comfort them for all those months, for all their lifetime in fact.
From the miracle of conception, the joy or panic in discovering that a new being is on the way, to the awe of seeing the first scan or the thrill of feeling baby's first kicks, these are all exciting milestones.
The experience of birth itself, the joy of tiny fingers gripping yours. Those eyes looking at you, adjusting to light and seeing this strange new world. The first suckling of a new born. All these are magical moments which some people never get to experience. Treasure them. Your baby was loved and had a precious life which you will never forget.
Who can ever understand the slings and arrows of life's misfortunes? The lesson to be learned from this is that there is no-one to blame. Life is precarious and unpredictable and there are no guarantees.
One mum who thought she'd be a career woman gave up work after her baby was born and loved being at home. It was her first baby, a girl. A first grandchild for the family and everyone was delighted and supportive. Feeding was going well and weight gain was good. All the medical and developmental checks were fine. She was a happy content baby from a loving comfortable home.
I visited the home one day, talked to mum and grandmother and did a hearing check. All was well. The child was at that lovely 3 months age, full of smiles. After bath time, a feed and being put to sleep that night as usual in her cot, the family experienced the horror of a sudden infant death. From my happy and relaxed visit the day before, I walked into this nightmare with the family next morning. I feel no shame in admitting that at times like these I shed a few tears with the family. There were lots of hugs and why, why, why? It goes to show that it can happen to anyone.
Two years later the couple had a baby boy. Yes, they were naturally over protective and made use of technology with baby alarms and such like. The little boy was not a replacement for their lost little girl, and never could be. But life went on.
Thirty years on, I still remember the smile of that wonderful 3 month old baby girl who was victim that night to sudden infant cot death.
How many smiles do you remember 30 years on?
That child's life was very meaningful to all her family. There was pain and loss because they loved her, but lots of joy because they knew her, cuddled her even if for only a short time. They all loved and cherished their lovely daughter and grand-daughter.
She was very precious and the pleasure she gave to everyone in her few months meant that her short life was worthwhile.
There will be pain and grief and tears. There may be guilt. If you are wondering if you did something wrong, if you could have taken more care, or if you missed something, please accept that usually there is no fault anywhere. These precious babies were just not viable with life. Forgive yourself, remember the life they had with love and joy. It is quality not quantity that matters.

My name is Amanda Rose, I enjoy art and thinking. I believe art is a way for the soul to express itself. I practice philosophy, yoga, and also visual art (painting/drawing). I like to dabble in music (violin), writing (poetry) and games – like chess – as well but my main focus is usually on philosophy, yoga, painting and drawing.
I do have a BA in Philosophy and Ethics and I am currently a graduate student in a Master of Fine Arts program for painting and drawing. All seriousness aside, I just love life, people, and trying to make sense of everything which is why I make art. It's a special feeling to be able to create something that can add a little more to the world– a little more feeling, thought, togetherness? Yes, togetherness 🙂
This website is intended to represent one artist, me, as a whole person. Instead of presenting myself in a box, I like to acknowledge that no one and nothing exists without context. I like to look at the bigger picture, and this is my bigger picture. Please feel free to contact me or comment on my blogs!
Sometimes I miss what we had and then I remember the monster hiding inside you plucking at your wrinkles every time I'd wound that tender ego, the way you raised your eyebrows trying to run away from all my honesty… we still cannot have a conversation because I gladly hang myself from every crease in …
It took awhile to accept I was hiding in your silence, clutching icy words to my bare skin, like frost clings to a flower I was always welcoming you into my delicate places and you stuck your fingers everywhere they don't belong, desperate to bury your bitterness in something sweet I let you …

Yacht-Master watches are brand new in 2016. They have many different aspects from old ones. Rolex Yacht-Master replica watches with rolesor cases are driven by 3135 Calibre, self-winding mechanical movements with blue Parachrom balances that can save 48-hour power. The diameter of the copy watches is 40mm.
The main material is rolesor that is a trade mark registered by Rolex in 1933 and has become an representative feature of Rolex watches. Rolesor is mixed with two metals: gold and steel. Gold is elegant and precious. Steel is solid and reliable. All these characteristics perfectly show the elegant image and outstanding performance of Rolex.
There is a date aperture at 3 o'clock on the chocolate dial and a raised window on the sapphire-crystal glasses to enlarge the date. The everose-gold bezels with 60-minute graduated scales are bidirectional rotatable. The iconic hands and luminescent hour markers stay the same. Rolex fake watches with rolesor bracelets are waterproof of 100m deep. They are suitable for any occasions.

Dobbie03's Linux desktops are always beautiful, and this one is no exception. This tricked out Elementary OS config is well laid out, easy on the eyes, and easy to work with, too. Here's how to make it yours.
Dobbie03 submitted his desktop to our Desktop Showcase, which is what you should do if you want your desktop featured here! All you have to do is post a nice big screenshot of your work to your kinja blog (the one that came with your commenter account), and include links to the wallpaper, widgets, skins, and tools you used to customize it!
If you're running Elementary OS, the lightweight and minimalist Linux distro (originally based on Ubuntu), this will be easier, but you don't have to have eOS. Whatever distribution you're running, you can use these tweaks. Here's what you'll need:
- The wallpaper from Wallbase
- The Avant Window Navigator (AWN) dock utility for Linux
- The Token Light icon pack for the dock icons
- Wingpanel Slim, part of the Elementary Tweaks package (installation instructions here) to shrink the status panel on the upper right side of the screen
- Dobbie03's custom Conky config, also avaiable in a comment at his DeviantArt page
That's all you need to get the job done, and you can see how beautiful the end result is. If you're still confused about how Dobbie03 put it all together, head over to his kinja blog and post a comment with your questions—don't forget to let him know how much you like his desktop while you're at it!

Just in time for the upcoming Fourth of July, Independence Day weekend, major fireworks erupted on Monday after details began to be released about 2016 presidential candidate, constitutional conservative Ted Cruz's new book debuting on Tuesday, A Time for Truth: Reigniting the Promise of America.
In the book, Cruz details a story about RINO king Karl Rove, a longtime Bush operative and FOX News contributor, getting vile with him in 2009, for accepting a $1,000 donation from the elder Bush, George H. W. Bush, while Cruz was running for attorney general of the State of Texas. Rove was cussing and swearing, according to Cruz, because large Texas donors to the Bush Presidential Library were miffed that Mr. Bush had contributed to Cruz even though he was not the selected candidate of the GOP political establishment at the time and that George W. Bush was going to endorse the other candidate.
Additionally, Rove allegedly told Senator Cruz that the elder Bush was too old to be trusted in making either a donation or an endorsement, something Cruz strongly disagreed with after meeting with the elder Bush for an entire afternoon.
Cruz reports that Rove asked him to return the donation, but when Cruz refused, he bullied and threatened Cruz into not publicizing "41's" donation so that more of Rove's fat cats wouldn't find out about the donation.
RELATED: Ted Cruz Knocks It Out Of The Park When Asked Why He Called RINO Mitch McConnell A Liar
Rove immediately refuted Cruz's account HERE, even denying that he was involved in the Bush Library fundraising and that donors were "berating" him:
"When Mr. Cruz and I talked in 2009, I was not raising money for the Bush Library, nor was former President Bush 43 going to endorse some unnamed Dallas state representative for state attorney general, nor were any library donors "berating" me. Most Texas Republicans were waiting for General Abbott to make his decision and hoping that he would run again, as he was doing such a terrific job. It was the right thing to do. He continues to do a tremendous job for Texas, only now as our governor."
On Monday, Cruz appeared on the popular Mark Levin Show to set the record straight (Listen Below), while publishing emails from Rove which confirm that he is lying through his RINO teeth. Cruz published the following statement and emails from his campaign site, calling Rove's response a "straight-out falsehood" and that people are fed-up with politics because "too many people are willing to lie."
"I have known Karl Rove for a long time, and have considered him a friend. I understood that my recounting in my book A Time for Truth the threats he made in the 2009 Texas Attorney General race—and the disparaging remarks he made about President George H.W. Bush—would cause him some discomfort.
"But I never imagined that his response would be a straight-out falsehood. It's disappointing; this is why people are so cynical about politics, because too many people are willing to lie.
"No part of our 2009 conversation concerned my good friend Greg Abbott.
"Below is email correspondence, contemporaneous from that week, demonstrating the veracity of my account. Karl admits, in writing, that his concern was for "the people raising money for the library who are also [then Texas Rep. Dan] Branch fans and will not understand why one part of the Bush family is for not-the-guy while they are raising money big bucks for library."

Subject: Re: Follow-up from today
thanks — I appreciate your doing what you can to keep this down — the distress you mention is not mine or 43 — it is the people raising money for the library who are also Branch fans and will not understand why one part of the Bush family is for not-the-guy while they are raising money big bucks for library.
Thanks too for clarifying that you asked to visit with 41; be as nonchulant as possible about the gift and we'll muddle through

I am very sorry if I have done anything to distress you or President Bush 43 in any way.
Over the past several years, you've been extraordinarily generous in providing advice and insight re the AG campaign, and I have endeavored to follow your wise counsel to the letter. When we last spoke in January, you advised that the best way to convince Branch not to run was to bring aboard as many "old bulls" across the state as possible, so that the rest of the state would counteract his natural base in Highland Park. Since then, I've spent 18 hours a day doing nothing but working to follow that course of action, and we've been fortunate to enjoy significant success.
None of that matters, though. I got my start in politics (such as it was) working for you and for President Bush 43, and I've spent much of my adult life working to support the President. The last thing I would ever want to do is place either of you in a difficult situation.
When I asked to visit with President Bush 41, and he very kindly agreed, I imagined that we would spend maybe 20 minutes talking about the race, he would give his insights on Texas politics, and that would be it. I could not have been more astonished when he offered his support and gave me a personal check for the campaign.
Obviously, I recognize that President Bush 41's support is a very big deal, and inded I had been in discussions with his office about our issuing a press release about the endorsement. Given the concerns you expressed this afternoon, I have told 41's office that we will skip the press release altogether (see below).
His support will of course attract attention (much of which will be beyond my control), but I will very much follow your counsel to downplay the support and not highlight it in any way.
My hope is that this race will ultimately end up in a win-win scenario, that Dan will choose to run for the new Dallas congressional seat that will be drawn in 2012 and that he and I can work together as friends and allies for a long time. I know that a number of key donors have been urging precisely that course of action, which, if Dan were to choose to follow, would perhaps alleviate some of the concerns we discussed.
I know that it doesn't rise to the importance of what you have been doing these past eight years, but I do think there is a real need right now for new leadership in the Republican Party, and I am hopeful that this campaign can play at least some role in helping provide that leadership. Your legacy and President Bush 43's legacy, and especially the enormous progress y'all made in the Hispanic community, are too important not to keep pressing ahead.
Karl, you've been a friend and mentor a long time, and I value that friendship immensely. Please let me know anything I can possibly do to address your and President Bush 43's concerns.
Thanks so much.

Subject: Discretion being the better part of valor
I spoke with Karl this afternoon, and he expressed real concerns that our drawing attention to President Bush 41's very kind support of the campaign would put President Bush 43 in a difficult position. The last thing I want to do is cause any trouble, so it's probably wiser just to forego this press release.
So, unless you disagree, I think it probably makes sense simply to include 41 on our overall list of donors, but not to do any separate release or anything highlighting his support, for which I remain deeply, deeply grateful.
Thanks so much,
Ted Cruz, who has massive grassroots support, but is not a favorite of the political establishment because of his willingness to fight corruption in both political parties, is not going to be any more popular with the RINO ruling class for exposing Karl Rove's dirty tactics and outright lies.

It's dark and intimate and just right." Accompany those hearty, comforting dishes with a craft brew or cocktail from notable beverage manager Joy Richard, a protector of "nearly extinct cocktails."

There's no set point where the town "starts" and the college "ends": no wall, gate or door. Why is this emotive word now being used to describe the behaviour of individuals that are far removed from real terrorism? I sense a degree of cultural bashing is being applied here. Sadly, many of the Ynet replies seem moved by this over the top portrayal of word associations. Even more worrying is the re use of a tactic better left behind with the nazi era during WW2Then again Cheap Snapbacks, I too need to be careful how I make such associations as well!. Cheap Snapbacks

Management Of Health And Safety On Work Sites Construction Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Generally the installation of precast flooring and cast in situ concreting will require operative to work at height . This work will require careful planning following the hierarchy of controls to reduce the risk of working at height . The Work at Height Regulation 2005 , gives employers the following hierarchy to follow when planning work at height :
The following is taken from HSE Document: HSG 150:
Those in control of work must:
avoid work at height where they can
use work equipment to prevent falls where work at height cannot be avoided
where the risk of a fall cannot be eliminated, use work equipment to minimise the distance and consequences of a fall should one occur
always consider measures that protect all those at risk i.e. collective protection measures (scaffolds, nets, soft landing systems) before measures that only protect the individual i.e. personal protection measures (a harness)
ensure work is carried out only when weather conditions do not jeopardise the health and safety of the workers
Safe Access To Working Area
Safe of access to the working area also requires careful planning, particularly where work progresses during installation. Safe of access should be agreed with the Company Representative and positioned adjacent to the start point, where reasonably practicable.
Typical methods include:
• Independent scaffolds
• Suitably protected stairs and ramps
• Fixed or mobile scaffold towers
• Mobile access equipment
• Secured ladders
More detailed advice on the selection and use of access equipment is given in HSE guidance listed below:
• CIS No 10 Tower Scaffolds (rev. 4)
• HSE Information Sheet MISC 614 Preventing Falls From Boom Type Mobile Elevating Work Platforms.
• HSG 150 Health and Safety in Construction (pages 14 to 37)
Working At Height
The leading edge should be protected using the following hierarchy :
Passive and Collective System
Systems that do not rely on the installer to operate them and are in place prior to the first unit being installed. Passive and collective systems include nets, air bags, decking and many other systems. They minimise the distance and consequence of a fall should one occur.
Air Bag Fall Protection
Air bag systems comprise bags of varying sizes that are clipped together at the tops to effectively form a protection system. The air bags are connected by a system of hoses and connectors, which in turn are connected to an air pump. Prior to positioning the empty air bags the whole of the area must be cleared. The air bags are then arranged
to cover the desired area, connected together and inflated.
The Contractor should ensure openings in external walls, such as doors and windows, have been suitably protected e.g. by scaffold or timber, to prevent Operatives rolling off or falling through the void, should a fall occur.
Safety Nets
Safety nets can be effectively employed to reduce the distance and consequence of falls. They offer passive collective measures by protecting everyone working within their boundary, without requiring those workers to act to be protected. They allow a broad range of activity to continue with minimum restriction.
Safety nets have high energy absorption capability, and therefore offer a 'soft landing' that minimises injury. They should always be fitted as close as possible to the underside of the working level. The Foreman must ensure a handover certificate
has been provided and must visually inspect the netting before allowing work to proceed above it. Should an Erector fall into the net, significant sagging could result. To avoid risk of injury the whole area beneath the nets must be kept clear ofmaterials and/or obstructions.
The self weight of the net and shock loading in the event of a fall should be considered in the design and implementation of the netting system.
Fall Arrest Systems
This does not prevent a fall, is not a collective protection measure and is therefore a personal protection measure and an active system.
This system consists of safety harness, lanyard and adequate anchorage point and aims to arrest a fall and minimise injury once a fall has occurred. Specialist advice and approval should be sought from the
supplier of the equipment on the provision and location of suitable anchorage points.
Practical measures to achieve this include running lines and lanyards attached to suitable anchorage points which may be incorporated into the slab.
In choosing a harness, care must be taken to ensure that it will give the user, as far as is compatible with safety, maximum comfort, freedom of movement and, in the event of a fall, every possible protection to the body from the shock of sudden arrest. Proper fittings and adjustment are essential to achieve these aims. The use of lanyards fitted with shock absorbers is recommended where the potential drop height permits the full lanyard deployment.
Supervision and training are needed to ensure that the system of work adopted is understood by all users and is maintained.
Personal Protective Equipment
The Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations (PPE Regs.) require the Employer to provide suitable PPE necessary for the protection of Operatives and Erectors engaged in the erection of precast concrete flooring.
The requirements for PPE also identified on the Safe Working Method Statement.
All Operatives and Erectors, irrespective of the nature of particular site conditions, must be provided with, and must wear, PPE to meet general needs, in particular safety footwear, high visibility clothing, abrasion resistant gloves, weatherproof clothing and suitable head protection. All PPE must be properly stored and maintained in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations.
Operatives and Erectors issued with such equipment have a duty under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 to use and look after it. On certain sites, the conditions or method of working will necessitate the use of special protective clothing
and equipment. Certain items such as eye protection, respiratory protection, ear protection and safety harnesses should be carried by the erection team at all times and used as the need arises or should be made available to the erection team prior to the commencement of work. The use of specific protective equipment, e.g. safety harnesses, must be identified in the Method Statement.
Medical Emergency
In the event of an accident causing physical injury the first-aider will be called . Serious accidents will be reported to the client . If the accident is deemed serious enough by the first aider the emergency services will be summoned by telephone .
Control Of Substance Hazardous to Health (COSHH)
In order to comply COSHH Regulations , the company must ensure the collection and issue of up to date information on the potential hazards and toxicity of all materials and substances used by the company in carrying out its site activities , and the control measures to be adopted .
Material and substance include anything used or generated , e.g. ready mixed concrete , dust from cutting operation etc .
Training & Certification
MEWP Scissor & Boom Operation
Fork lift/tele-handler operation
Manual Handling
Work at Height
The training of personal at all levers is to be carried out by competent person or approved training organisation ( CPCS/CITB/ Proskills . etc ) . Course may include those in the following list , which is not exhaustive :
Site Safety Awareness
CDM Regulations
Crane Supervisor (BS 7121)
Passive Fall Installation
Trained and competent Operatives should hold the following competency cards in accordance with the Construction Skills Competency Scheme (CSCS) and the Construction Plant Competency Scheme (CPCS):
CSCS Precast Concrete Installer (Industry Accreditation A) card
CPCS Slinger/Signaller card
According to Regulation 3(1) of the Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 , it is recommended that each team has a suitably qualified person to administer emergency aid or a fully qualified First Aider.
Welfare Facilities
The provision of welfare facilities on the majority of sites will be on a shared welfare basis, where the Contractor provides the necessary facilities which can be used by Operatives and Erectors .
When no formal welfare arrangements exist, the Company should ensure that the necessary facilities are provided by way of an attendance, based upon the PFF Standard Health, Safety and Welfare Attendances (Appendix A) issued at quotation stage, or alternatively, the Company may provide facilities for use by Operatives and Erectors.
The ultimate responsibility for ensuring that the facilities are provided, and that they are of a standard equal to that required by the CDM, remains with the Company
Safe Use of Cranes & Lifting Equipment
Safe Working Method Statement & Risk Assessment
Safe Working Method Statements form part of the overall Safety Management System, covering hazardous activities, such as the erection of precast flooring and associated components. They provide the information on the arrangements and, where required, the actual sequence of work
necessary to manage health and safety. Basic information must be provided and communicated to all concerned parties at the planning stage, thus allowing time for approval or modification of the Safe Working Method Statements prior to site erection.
Precast flooring erection is similar in nature on many sites and therefore a Safe Working Method Statement will contain common elements and activities. However, the Safe Working Method Statements must take account of specific site conditions/requirements, information from the Health and Safety Plan/Design Risk Assessment, and/or contractor's requirements.
Contractor Responsibility
The flooring sub-contractor will provide the Contractor with a copy of the PFF Health, Safety and Welfare Attendances (Appendix A), attached to the Company's quotation. These, together with any additional specific requirements necessitated by the nature of the site or contract works, are to be provided by the Contractor.
The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that guidance within this Code of Practice is incorporated into works by other trades and where necessary the guidance of the Building Designer and other specialist suppliers/sub-contractors is incorporated into the works.

Living Art Walked Through Dallas Contemporary's Jason Brooks Exhibition
Models show off their ink-art by Jason Brooks.
Anna Merlan
It wasn't always easy to spot the art at the Jason Brooks show over at Dallas Contemporary this weekend. Sometimes the art was chatting with a group of friends, or getting a drink, or popping out back for a quick smoke. But when the models in the legendary Austin tattoo artist's show sat still for long enough, or strutted their stuff in the too-brief runway show staged in an alley across the street, it was absolutely stunning.
The men of the catwalk were a little more varied, walking in jeans, shorts and the occasionalfundoshi
- a Japanese-style thong more commonly seen on sumo wrestlers (these looked a bit like they'd been ripped from the t-shirts the guys were wearing earlier in the day.) A couple of the dudes swigged beers and had cigarettes tucked into their thongs. But of the arcing flowers, skulls, demons and waves on display, it was tough to tell from afar which pieces were Brook's work and what the models had gotten elsewhere.
No matter; the crowd whooped and whistled when Brooks, a heavyset, sweet-faced guy with dark hair, ambled out after his models. He beamed and waved shyly while the audience gave him a standing ovation.
And sometimes, most of the time, it's a work of art.
The men's outfits varied a bit more than the ladies'.

Hello Every1
I did my first solo today at my local airport and got the customary bucket of water lobbed over me (I am currently juggling a logbook and a hairdryer) .
I heard from another pilot about a year ago that in the USA and some parts of Europe they cut off the shirt tails of the pilots as they are no longer needed for the instructor chastising the student when they muff up (when planes were a one and one layout unlike our "new ones").
I am wondering if there are any other traditions in other places for first solo pilots that are interesting/amusing/funny.
I have dried my Ł90 jacket out, changed my trousers, and have aquired the hairdryer to dry off the paper (never use the oven on paperstuffs as it smokes worse than me on a bad day).
Gracias muchas (I think this is the spelling - I used to speak Spanish and Italian but now speak "Blue French" in regards to the Volvo XC70 I used to own - it skidded on ice when I was roaring along at 95 mph on a country road in my "New Romantic" mode. I got a newfound romance with the airbags of the Volvo to the sweet tones of Spandau Ballet).
Twee gweens ("Me Cute" talk for Three Greens)
My first solo was like this:
2 touch and go's with an instructor and then he said: "taxi to the ramp". I did and he said:" I go out now, make a new flight plan on the tower frequency and remember to say that this is your first solo flight." Then he left. I did the plan and flew few touch and go's and that was it, nothing more to it, no traditions, no nothing. This was in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Congratulations to you Dave.
You may note the incoherent babbling that I posted in my message. I thought that I had better apologise for this.
I celebrated my success when I got back home and one drink led to another and when I am drunk I babble incoherently until I pass out. It was fortified wine, vodka with lemonade, and vodka with beer. Never do this. No really, don't try this at home unless you have shares in painkiller manufaturing companies
The solo was actually one of the strangest experiences I had. I forgot that the instructor wasn't there and thought that things had gone a bit quiet.
I noticed a BAe 146 parked on the apron as I taxied out and the back spoiler was open but the wing spoilers shut. Is this normal on that plane? I thought about reporting it to ATC but decided that the ground team would have noticed it and said something if it was not meant to be open.
I believe the clamshell-spoiler on the rear of the BAe is sometimes open as a result of the hyrdaulics being shut off... Therefore normal when parked.
I got thrown into a lake, which is a Finnish tradition (lake or swimming pool).

Jetstar's entry into the Auckland-Dunedin sector has reportedly sparked a price war between the LCC and incumbent Air New Zealand (Otago Daily Times, 13-May-2011). Jetstar was offering one-way fares for as low as NZD5, which was undercut by Air New Zealand, which offered NZD1 one-way fares from Dunedin to Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Air New Zealand offered only 600 tickets at the low prices and Jetstar's NZD5 fares were on offer for just one hour.

Australia and New Zealand hit highs in 2016, but 2017 will lose a little lustre
Australia and New Zealand enter 2017 on a different level from 12 months previously. The biggest change, not just compared to 2016 but since the global financial crisis, is that Qantas is revelling in a successful turnaround.
CAPA Aviation Outlook 2017: Australia & New Zealand - amid global uncertainty, China again the rock
As 2016 draws to a close, CAPA - Centre for Aviation reviews the past year for aviation in the Australia Pacific region and what lies ahead for 2017.
In an uncertain world, from the disruption of Brexit to the likely confrontationalist attitudes of a Trump administration, and instability in many parts of the world, from Russia to the Middle East to Asia, Australia and New Zealand's aviation sectors are mostly in rude health, with liberal policy settings and globally high service levels. Yet each of the main airlines in Australia and New Zealand still relies heavily on its domestic markets.
China has asserted its relevance in world aviation recently and over the past couple of years its airlines have rapidly expanded into the two south Pacific countries. With 2017 declared the 'China Australia Year of Tourism' by China's tourism bureau, continued substantial activity can be expected in that market.
Qantas' 787 Perth-London service plans have made clear the role of the long haul medium size equipment, but aside from the innovative elements, retaining a cost focus and keeping the basics under control will be key to the future.

It was a hot day here in my studio in New York City as I allowed the layers of tint to absorb in free form on the canvas, working in deep violets and royal blues over a base of aquamarine-touching on cool waters. I find myself with glaze and a transparent but smoky tint in hand that rolls out seamless stacked ice cubes. From the early evening cooled drinks in the darkened bars or street side cafes of New York, to the high rise of stacked apartments in the city - all can be seen in these ice cubes needed to cool us down.Carrie Beehan 2016

December 23, 2009
Last Tuesday, the Green Bay Gamblers of the USHL earned both an instant YouTube classic and instant criticism from PETA when their coach encouraged two players to kill a bat that had flown onto the ice during the game. Coach Jon Cooper later labeled the controversy "Bat-Gate."
"We took are share of emails from people who weren't really crazy with how it was handled. We didn't really have a handbook for how to deal with a bat during a hockey game," recalled Terry Charles, Gamblers public relations manager. "We were concerned with some of the players' safety and the fans' safety."
Facing scrutiny from animal activists and advocates -- while stumbling into a publicity goldmine -- the Gamblers have decided to embrace the incident as most hockey fans believed they would: By asking fans to toss rubber bats on the ice after the home team scores a goal.
For a good cause, of course.
"We knew there had to be a way to make it all better," said Charles.
Thursday, Dec. 31 is the first home game for Green Bay at the Resch Center since its players struck down the winged menace. In case you've not seen it, here's the incident:
Gamblers fans have been preconditioned to gleefully toss objects on the ice for charity: teddy bears, mittens, "caps for cancer" (check out those jerseys ... wow). Sensing that fans might be bringing their own rubber bats to the game anyway in tribute to the odd incident -- ala the NHL's Florida Panthers and rubber rats in the 1990s -- the team decided to be proactive.
"So we thought, 'What the heck?' Why don't we get a toy bat, and let's make it available to fans in our team store for $2. If they want to keep it, they keep it; if they want to throw it on the ice for the first [Gamblers] goal at every home game, we'll pick them up and recycle them back into the team store [to be purchased and tossed again]," said Charles.
He said 100-percent of the proceeds from rubber bat sales will go to the Bay Beach Wildlife Sanctuary, which helps nurse injured animals back to health -- including bats.
"They were thrilled. They had no criticism with how we handled the bat ... although they would have rather the bat wasn't killed," said Charles.
Here's the press conference, in which Gamblers President Brendan Bruss explains the campaign and gets the name of the sanctuary wrong several times:
The team is also selling sharp-looking T-shirts to commemorate "The Year of the Bat," although there's no indication on the Web site or the video above that its proceeds are going to charity.
Now, hockey fans being hockey fans, we figure there's zippy chance that the bats are flying onto the ice exclusively after the first goal. What happens if there be bats on subsequent tallies?
"Obviously, that could happen. We're hoping fans respect it and do it only after the first goal," said Charles. "If it's the second goal, the players will gently with their sticks pick up the toy bats."
Charles said he wasn't sure the team had checked with the USHL on the legality of encouraging fans to throw rubber toys on the ice after goals; assuming, you know, that the USHL has delay of game penalties for such instances on its books. He figured the team had checked with the League, but said the Gamblers "aren't expecting several hundred bats" to hit the ice and that the charitable aspect of the tradition should alleviate any scrutiny.
Clearing, the unfortunate demise of the bat has raised the Gamblers' national profile; so we asked Charles about the potential sequels. Why not kill something larger next time? Like a manatee, for instance? Or, it being Green Bay, a large cow? Why not up the ante?
"We could. Unfortunately, the poor bat fell into our laps. So we'll stick with the bats," he said. "We seriously are going to see where this takes us."
Kudos to the Gamblers for taking an uncomfortable situation and turning it into a good cause. Even if our delusions of fan promo grandeur -- Bobble-Bat Dolls! Green Bay Gamblers Whack-a-Bat Piñata Night! -- have yet to be realized.

With all the exciting activities that occur at this age, children may feel overwhelmed with the task of fitting in with their peers. Although you want their education to come first, making friends is most likely to be at the top of their agenda, and is also important to their development. Here are a few ways you can help your children establish relationships with their peers:
1. Teach your child important social skills that are essential to establishing and maintaining friendships such as sharing, listening, following rules, and playing fair. Allow your child to participate in events and activities that enable them to practice and implement these social skills. You can reinforce positive social interactions through verbal praise and, if this is something that is a real challenge for your child, through a structured reward system.
2. Provide opportunities for your child to play and socialize with other children their age such as play dates, sleepovers, car pooling, and extra-curricular activities. They should interact with their peers from school and in your neighborhood.
3. Read books with your children that teaches them about friendships and social skills.
4. It isn't uncommon for children to be timid or anxious about making friends. Be attentive to any red flags that your child may display that could indicate he or she is having trouble such as throwing tantrums, withdrawal from you more than is normal for them, or other changes in behavior or emotions.
During the teenage years, your son or daughter will encounter many possibilities to make friends such as participating in athletics, attending school events, and participating in extracurricular school activities. This is also a time when 'fitting in' and feeling connected to peers seems the most important to them, so not feeling part of a group or connected to people can feel especially difficult during these years. Here are some ways to help your teen navigate their social world:
1. Let your teen see how you interact with your friends. Because they are entering the young adult phase, it is important for them to see examples of mature, adult interactions. This can also help your teen better understand how positive friendships in adulthood look. If they are willing to go, take your teen to lunch with you and a friend.
2. Encourage your teen to partake in social activities that would enable him or her to meet other teens. This can include going to the movies, attending a dance, or eating dinner with a group of their peers. You can use your home as a 'safe' location for teens to hang out, yet still have adult supervision, by giving them a private area or room to spend time.
3. Talk to your teen about the meaning and importance of friendships. Discuss what makes someone a "good friend" and how to resolve conflicts and/or manage meaningful friendships they may have with others.
4. Monitor how your teen interacts with their friends. If you feel he or she is in an unhealthy relationship with one of their peers, attempt to provide guidance.
Post college-graduates
The college years provide young adults with numerous opportunities to meet new people as well as gain unique experiences. However, upon graduating, many people find it difficult or overwhelming with having to "start over" and meet new people, especially when relocating to a new town or city. Here are some ways that might help you connect to others after college:
1. Get involved in your local community. Join clubs, teams, or other extra-curricular and/or service based groups that allow you to meet and interact with others on a weekly basis. Working with others to reach a common goal is a great way to connect, and takes some of the pressure off this process, as you already share a common interest.
2. Invite people to engage in some sort of activity such as going to lunch, getting coffee or a drink, or hanging out at your place.
3. If you're shy or lacking in confidence, don't be discouraged because these feelings are not uncommon. Talk to someone else who has dealt with this stage of life, too.
As we enter adulthood, we often feel settled into patterns of making and maintaining friendships. However, many people feel dissatisfied with their outlets for social connection or the number of people to whom they truly feel close. When we are set in our ways, we can lack imagination regarding ways and places to connect to others. Here are some ideas about how to connect to new friends as adults:
1. Attend functions in your community that cater to something you are interested in but may not have tried before. This enables you to interact with people who you will begin to see on a regular basis. This could be joining a local charity with regular volunteer hours, or taking classes at a community center.
2. Join a group that involves doing something you enjoy yet keeps you active such as a yoga class or a golf club. This allows you to meet people with common interests, providing conversation starters that help take the pressure off the anxiety provoking introduction and connection process.
3. Invite family over for dinner. You can consider choosing members you feel most close or comfortable with or those who you want to get to know better, and set a theme for a dinner party. If you are in a relationship, consider having favorite members of both yours and your partner's family over together. This can deepen pre-existing relationships and lead to more regular family events and connections.
If you find your child or yourself having a little more difficulty making friends than you would like, speaking with a psychologist may help identify barriers and provide ideas for help moving past them.
