Skippers have tendered for the Northern Goldfields routes (Leonora, Laverton, Mount Magnet, Meekatharra and Wiluna), which we have serviced over a long period of time. We have also tendered for Carnarvon and Shark Bay, which we have serviced for the past five years, as well as Esperance and Albany. Most of the services to Esperance, Albany and Carnarvon will be carried out in a Dash 8-300, a 50 passenger aircraft.

Our hired Chevy Camaro! 10 Issue 42 www.inflightmagazine.com.au T he islands were once a chain of active volcanoes formed by the movement of tectonic plates below the earth’s surface. With three volcanoes still active in Hawaii, the islands are always changing. The volcanic activity has created impressive and extraordinarily different landscapes scattered over the islands. I visited Hawaii Island and Oahu over eight nights. I was flown into the center of an active volcano by helicopter, I swam with sharks in the Pacific Ocean and I zip lined through the jungle. It was awesome and that was just the start of my journey! Planning a holiday to Hawaii can be overwhelming. With eight major islands to visit, each with different attractions, it’s easy to feel like you’re not getting the full experience if you miss an island. For me, two islands were impressive and if I visited more, I wouldn’t have returned! Hawaii Island is the biggest of the islands at almost twice the size of the others combined, and is known for it’s volcanic activity thanks to Kilauea, a currently active shield volcano which is still steaming and flowing with lava today. Remarkably, the west side of Hawaii Island is dry and hot and the communities in the area are mainly built on old lava flows. The east side is the opposite, boasting luscious green valleys with some of the steepest waterfalls in the world. This island is a special place and one that Aloha, Hawaii! By Aly Eveille Visiting the Hawaiian Islands was a spectacular experience and one I didn’t expect. It’s not until you reach the small chain of Islands and immerse yourself into the culture and history, that you realise just how grand they are.

HAWAII HOLIDAY www.hawaiiholiday.abomax.com Phone: +61-7-3889-2728 Email: hughandjudith@dodo.com.au 2 Bedroom Penthouse Located 2 blocks from the famous Waikiki Beach, our penthouse condo offers a wonderful holiday experience. Enjoy panoramic views of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach. To experience this magical place, visit our website for more information. Live like a local in Hawaii www.inflightmagazine.com.au Issue 42 11 encompasses all great aspects of the other Hawaiian Islands into one place. I stayed in Kona, on the west of the Island. Kona is a bustling district, which stretches about 100 kilometers down the coast. Kona’s microclimate makes it ideal for growing coffee, something the area is famous for. Hiring a car was essential for me on this island. I was able to spend my first day driving out to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, where I explored the remnants of Kilauea, which rests nearby. I started my day with a 6.4km hike through the Kilauea Iki trail, a hardened lava lake that is still warm to touch today. The nearby Thurston Lava Tube was also a great attraction. While it looks like a regular cave, it’s amazing to imagine lava bursting through it 500 years ago. On the way to Jagger Museum (the ideal viewing place for Kilauea), the steam vents along the road were an awesome sight. There are many steam vents throughout the park and beyond, so it’s important to watch your step. These vents push out piping hot sulfuric steam caused by the release of water heated by the magma below. The steam is about 62 degrees Celsius and visibility depends on the humidity and temperature outside, so caution is needed. It takes two hours to drive from the heart of Kona to the park, so this activity will take a full day, but if you want to see sweeping coastlines during the drive and explore the volcanoes, it’s definitely worth it. On the next day I explored Hawaii Island from the air. There are many tour companies that offer Hawaii Island tours, and the one you choose will depend on what interests you most. I choose the Circle Island Experience with Paradise Helicopters, a twohour tour which started and finished at Kona airport. This tour was exceptional. The pilot was knowledgeable and the flight was brilliant. To begin, we circled Kona and saw the different townships built on old lava flows, including macadamia nut and coffee plantations. We headed down to the southern-most part of Hawaii and the U.S. and saw spectacular views of sheer cliff faces with giant wind turbines perched above. The coastline is a deep black colour due to the old lava flows, which travelled down the countryside and into the ocean, and the steepness of them is due to the corrosion that has occurred over time from the ocean smashing up against the land. The next flyover was mindblowing, a venture into Pu’u O’o, a volcanic cone in the eastern rift zone of Kilauea. Because Pu’u O’o has been erupting since the early 80’s, I was almost guaranteed to see red lava, and I did! The stench of steam coming through the helicopter was quite unpleasant, but the view of the lava below was remarkable and made even better thanks to the expert maneuvers of our pilot. There were many steam vents visible, as well as a burning forest on the border of where the lava was flowing. Being only a small distance from glowing red lava Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

12 Issue 42 www.inflightmagazine.com.au was exhilarating and terrifying at the same time, because the volanoe could spit lava at any time. The next stop was Hilo, which is on the east side of the island and typically gets more rain, making it greener. Our pilot took us along the coastline and into Waipi’o Valley, which is almost 2000ft high and scattered with spectacular waterfalls. When this tour finished I took my convertible Camaro and went to some local snorkeling sports within the Kona District. There is no shortage of places to see marine life, including the famous sea turtles. To celebrate a great few days, I went to a traditional Luau at the Courtyard King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel, the best outdoor Luau on the island with an authentic Hawaiian buffet and Polynesianstyle performances. The island of Oahu was my next stop. I also hired a car on this island, which was a great way to see more. The first thing I noticed is that Oahu is heavily populated, especially within Honolulu and more specifically, Waikiki. My first day in Oahu involved a one-hour drive to the North Shore to go Shark Diving. Book an early slot, if possible. It will save you driving in peak hour traffic and you’ll have the rest of the day to see what that side of Oahu has to offer. North Shore Shark Adventures hosted me for this dive. We took a small boat almost 5km offshore to where a small metal cage was floating, the waves were high and the sharks were waiting. The guide explained that because fisherman work in this part of the ocean and often leave their scraps behind in the water, the sharks recognise the sound of a diesel motor, which is how they guarantee sightings. Within minutes, dozens of sharks were circling the boat and people were jumping in the cage. It was an exhilarating experience! A half hour drive took me to CLIMBworks Zipline Tour, a multiline circuit made in amongst a local farm with sweeping views of the ocean and coastline at it’s highest points. The guides will teach you how to zipline upside fast, slow, backwards and upside down. When you’re driving along the North Shore be sure to stop at one of the many beautiful beaches. There are also locally run shrimp and shave ice vans along the way, a couple of truly Hawaiian food experiences. The drive down the other side of the island and back to Honolulu is stunning. You’ll see sky-scraping cliff faces and lush green jungle. It’s no surprise that this is the location of many Hollywood movies like Jurassic Park and 50 First Dates. Pearl Harbour was the sight to see the following day. No trip to Oahu would be complete without this stop. But be sure to get there early, the museum gives out a limited number of passes to see the USS Arizona Memorial each day and the lines can be long. The USS Bowfin submarine, USS Missouri battleship and the Aviation Museum are all fantastic sights to see and really suit visitors of all ages. Other great things to do in Oahu include the Diamond Head hike, which is a 2.5km trek up through the old volcano to see the remains of Fort Ruger, before reaching the top to see 360-degree views of the island. There is also great swimming, surfing and paddle boarding along Waikiki Beach and even better shopping just one street back along Kalakaua Aveue or at the Ala Moana Center. Hawaii, I will return! n Aviation Museum

Ahoy Buccaneers B roome residents Doug and Shelley Gould have five kids and it was while searching for affordable, familyfriendly sailing adventures in the Kimberley that the idea for Ahoy Buccaneers was born. They wouldn’t consider a trip without their kids and available options didn’t seem affordable. Doug explained that by maintaining a low staff-to-guest ratio and not attempting to be five stars, they could offer a really great Kimberley experience.“We bought our own boat and created a sailing experience that could be enjoyed by all ages and that’s how Ahoy Buccaneers was born,” he said.

They also welcome visitors on a 10-day cruise to Broome and Wyndham from March to April in 2016, visiting the beautiful Buccaneer and Bonaparte Archipelago. Aboard the spacious 24-metre rigged sailing yacht, MV Oceanic, guests are treated to a truly hands-on experience.The crew have been in the pearling industry for years, so with their wealth of knowledge they will take you to secret fishing and swimming locations, remote beaches and show you stunning examples of indigenous art. Passengers can also set their own itinerary, whether it’s fishing, swimming, mud crabbing, collecting oysters, or just relaxing in the spa on deck taking in the Kimberley sunsets.

F or families around the world, Christmas is a time of eager anticipation. I know that for many FIFO families though, the countdown to Christmas Day involves preparing to spend it away from family and friends, maybe for the first time. It can be tough when you're away from loved ones for major family celebrations like these, so here are my tips to help you cope with working away at Christmas… • Get organised ahead of time. Don’t use working away as an excuse to get out of present buying! Get gifts and cards organised in advance for the people who are most special to you. This isn’t just about the gift, it’s about feeling connected. • Think about what Christmas really means to you. If you’re a practicing Christian, take some time out on Christmas Day to watch a Christmas service on the television or online. If the religious stuff isn’t what makes Christmas important to you, move the family celebration to another day. • Make firm dates and plans to catch up with your family and friends when you’re next home. Prioritise the people you really want to see. This will give you something to look forward to. • Spoil yourself. Take a little bit of your favourite food or drink with you so the day feels a bit special. • Connect with others on site. Don’t be tempted to shut yourself off from others. You’ll feel better and the day will pass quickly if you’re with others who are in the same boat. theultimateguideto survivingaFIFOChristmas By Angie Willcocks, Psychologist 22 Issue 42 www.inflightmagazine.com.au

• Think ahead of time about what will work best on Christmas Day in terms of contacting home. Obviously this will depend on your roster for the day and the family’s plans, but it should also depend on what’s easiest for you all emotionally. • Be aware of your thinking and try not to feel too sorry for yourself. Don't fall into the trap of thinking ‘poor me’ and imagining everyone else in the world laughing merrily with their families. This way of thinking is unhelpful and unrealistic. Plenty of people have to work on Christmas Day (like hospital staff, pilots and those in hospitality just to name a few), so be aware that you’re not the only one alone on the day. • Don't be tempted to drink more alcohol to help you cope with your feelings of sadness or loneliness. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. This means that too much will have you feeling sadder, not happier. If your feelings are particularly hard to cope with and you don’t want to upset your partner or friends by telling them how bad you're feeling, call Lifeline to chat with a trained volunteer telephone counselor on 13 11 14. • Concentrate your thoughts on the things you have to be thankful for, like having a job to go to and family and friends to miss. • Give. Think about a charity, organisation, family or individual you know who is having a hard time. Send a donation, card, letter or text to show your support at Christmas. Tips for those at home… • Make plans to celebrate Christmas with family and friends on another day. A lot of FIFO families tell me that they actually like doing this because the alternative Christmas Day is always a bit more relaxed than the actual day. Plus, all the Christmas stuff is much cheaper after 25th December. • Be aware of your thinking and remain positive. Try not to keep thinking about what you’ll be missing out on, but think of what you have to look forward to when your partner is next home. • Plan something extra special for when your partner is home next. Put it in the diary. • Get organised ahead of time to send your partner a care package with some Christmas items to open on the day. You can either post your package to the site, or stash it away in your partner’s bag. • Model positive coping for your children by acknowledging your feelings, but then finding things to do that help you feel a bit better, like putting together the care package. This is something special that kids love to help with. • Talk with your partner ahead of time about what will work best for you all on the day. When and how you can connect will depend on their roster, but you should also have a think about what will be easiest for you all to cope with. • Surround yourself with positive people who understand your lifestyle. It’s unhelpful to keep hearing how terrible it is that your partner is going to be away for Christmas. Avoid the conversation with those people. • Ask for or pay for practical help around the house to reduce the pressure on you and your partner around the Christmas period. • Practice gratefulness. In the lead up to Christmas, practice thinking of three things each day that you’re thankful or grateful for. • Give. Think about a charity, organisation, family or individual you know who is having a hard time. Send a donation, card, letter or text to show your support at Christmas. Most importantly –enjoy your family all the time, when you are together and apart! n www.inflightmagazine.com.au Issue 42 23

GF Piping Systems A s the minerals industry comes to terms with the end of the unprecedented iron ore driven boom , gold, and in particular Australian dollar gold, stands out as the commodity that will lead the sector into recovery. With iron ore almost singlehandedly propping up the Western Australian economy between 2007 and 2014, its dual falls below the psychological AUD100/tonne mark in September 2012 and June 2014 each saw most iron ore producers and explorers halt development and exploration projects. With iron ore now hovering around AUD75/tonne and showing no sign of recovery, the impact on investment and jobs in the sector has been severe. Enter gold, stage left. Although gold initially suffered a similar fate to iron ore during the general commodities downturn, the strengthening USD-AUD exchange rate may be the industry saviour. Australian dollar gold peaked at almost AUD1900/oz in September 2011 and has buffered between AUD1300 and AUD1800/oz over the last four years, with strong potential to rise further as the USD continues to strengthen against the AUD. Australian dollar gold is now sitting at around AUD1600/oz, and with the many Australian gold producers touting all-in sustaining costs of below AUD1,100/oz, this is producing margins commonly in the order of AUD500/oz. With gold still sitting within 5 per cent of the all-time Australian dollar gold price high, and West Australian gold exploration expenditure increasing by over 20 per cent in the June 2015 quarter (compared to June 2014 quarter), the sector is beginning to show firm signs of a recovery. With gold exploration expenditure at $80 million in the June 2015 quarter, it is the time since 2008 that gold exploration-spend in Western Australia has outstripped that of iron ore. The iron ore boom saw many of the country’s post-2008 geology graduates become ‘one-trick ponies’ with their industry experience only in iron ore. Going forward, this will provide a significant challenge for gold producers and explorers looking to source young and suitably experienced geological personnel. However, it will bring great opportunities for geologists with good gold pedigrees. If your gold company is heading into an exploration phase and needs high quality, experienced gold geologists and allied personnel then contact Digirock Exploration Geologists on (08) 9477 3747 for a cost-competitive quote. n AUSTRALIAN GOLD THE SHINING LIGHT 24 Issue 42 www.inflightmagazine.com.au

Yes, I did use it in the headline – only because that this term that most people can relate to. The reality is your staff members are part of your team and therefore, need to be referred to as ‘team players’. Football teams do not refer to their players as staff, they are team members of players. We are always learning new things. As the old saying goes, you learn something new every day. This is never truer than within the work place. In this day and age it is vitally important to ensure that your team are performing at their best. Training your team is the best and most cost effective development tool available to business owners and managers. In order for any business to remain effective in an ever-changing world, it is key for all members of the team to be flexible, susceptible to change and to monitor and develop their own personal performance. Training of your team can be in a number of various forms and in each case should be tailored to the actual needs, concerns and expectations of the business. Below are the main focus points which should be explored when thinking about staff training: 1) The ability to present and communicate effectively. This is pertinent to any business which involves selling or quoting and client management. Check that your team members are confident and possess the right qualities to perform this skill effectively. 2) Telephone communications. Almost every single business all over the world, no matter which sector or line of work you are in have to speak to customers, suppliers and potential clients each and every day. These people will form an opinion of your business based on the person they are speaking to on the end of the phone. If your team comes across as unprofessional, unknowledgeable about the services provided or disinterested, then this is going to be nothing but harmful to your business. Without trying to take away anyone’s individuality, you may wish to instil a standard with regards to everyone saying the same opening phrase when answering the phone. 3) Time management and productivity. This is one of the biggest bug bears for business owners and managers alike. The need and desire for wanting their team to have the highest level of time management is one of the top qualities managers are looking for in their team. From attending meetings at the time agreed, arriving for work on time and not taking too long to do a certain task, are all factors that the leaders are looking for. 4) Goal setting. Managers should always be looking to hold regular meetings with their team. Whether this is weekly, monthly, bi monthly or quarterly will depend solely on the type of business which is being run. During these catch ups the manager should discuss performance, any issues which have arisen with those individuals, any training needs identified by either the team member or manager and also the goals or expectations for the next period. Help them help you! If you want your team to be productive, engaged and committed then help them help you! History has shown that a business that invests in training for their team has lower levels of turnover and less sick days and HR associated expenses. What you nurture grows and develops, what you neglect dies and disappears!

T here is no doubt that mining can be hazardous. There are inherent risks when you combine large, complex industrial equipment and processes with humans. However, the risks created through mining don’t need to lead to harm for workers. If hazards are identified and appropriate control measures implemented, then risks are addressed and harm does not become a by-product. One of the obstacles in preventing harm is identifying controls in a meaningful way that lowers risks or, ideally, removes the hazard. There are also causation factors that can multiply risk. The experience of workers and supervisors and issues associated with fatigue provide two examples of how risk can be influenced by factors other than the intrinsic risk of the task itself. It was with this in mind that the Department of Mines and Petroleum conducted an analysis of more than six hundred serious mining injuries to improve understanding of injury risks and causes in Western Australia’s mining industry. State Mining Engineer Andrew Chaplyn said the department analysed 658 serious injuries, including three fatalities, reported by the mining industry between 1 July and 31 December 2013. “The analysis follows on from the department’s review of 52 fatal accidents in the mining industry between 2000 and 2012,” Mr Chaplyn said. “The key objective of both reports was to develop a better understanding of the injury risk profile of the State’s mining industry.” These risk profiles have been compared to establish if the hazards and causation factors identified from the recent serious injury data are consistent with the results of the fatal accident review. The serious injury review and the fatal accident review independently identified three main hazards. “They are falling while working at height, being in the line of fire for objects or suspended loads and being struck or crushed by machines and heavy components,” Mr Chaplyn said. Selected serious injury data was shown to be statistically consistent over a period of ten years. This will be used to establish baseline standards for monitoring the effectiveness of fatality prevention strategies.

The most recent report was released by Mines and Petroleum Minister, Bill Marmion. Mr Marmion said the Serious Injuries Report was an extremely valuable resource for everyone involved in Western Australia’s mining industry. "The simple concept of 'golden safety rules' can reinforce critical awareness and controls, such as never start work if there is a risk of falling from height, never stand under anything that can fall on you and never place any part of your body where it can be crushed," Mr Marmion said. “Despite a fatality-free year in 2012 and six deaths in 2009, there have been, on average, two to three deaths per year on WA mine sites. This report identifies there are, on average, about 200 high consequence injuries every twelve months that have very similar causal factors to fatalities,” he said. “Reviewing the rate of high severity injuries including amputations, fractures and crush injuries could help provide key indicators so more effort can be focused on critical activities, which may be associated with serious injuries or fatalities.” Mr Chaplyn said the department would continue analysing safety and injury data to provide information for industry. “The recent reports also highlight the importance of adopting a risk-based approach to mines safety, which encourages development of site specific strategies that can be tailored to address site specific risks,” he said. “As we continue to move away from the older, more prescriptive style of regulation, we need to ensure that information and education is available to industry. It also provides an opportunity for industry to share their collective knowledge around safety and encourage innovation by building and adapting that knowledge.” The report is available to download on the department’s website at dmp.wa.gov. au along with the review and analysis of fatalities that was released in 2013. n 30 Issue 42 www.inflightmagazine.com.au

HelpingMinds has been offering support systems, counselling and advice free-of-charge to FIFO workers and their families in recent years. Debbie said that “FIFO work has been shown to provide additional stressors with not only the workers but their families also affected, all too often feeling they are alone. “HelpingMinds wants FIFO workers and their families to know that they are certainly not alone. We have help and support available, as well as counselling and providing vital information about mental issues. We can also put them in touch with other mental health professionals and services they need.” “The impact of mental health issues on FIFO workers and their workplaces can spread to whole communities. Thankfully, it is becoming more widely accepted that anyone experiencing these difficulties needs to talk to someone, and as soon as possible,” Debbie said. And with the National Survey of Mental Health and Wellbeing finding that more than one in five men aged between 25 and 44 will experience a mental health disorder in any 12‐month period, FIFO workers certainly are not alone. HelpingMinds has nearly 40 years’ experience in supporting carers and families of people with mental issues by offering counselling, peer support, advocacy, education and respite services. Our range of respite service available to FIFO workers and their carers includes pamper and massage days, short break holiday housing located on the coast in Port Denison & Shoalwater and school holiday programs. We also offer a peer support program, which provides an important support for workers who may be hesitant to contact formal mental health assistance programs. A new online support program offered by HelpingMinds has just been launched, Recovering Our Families. This support program has been recognised internationally for its positive outcomes by allowing families to undertake education and gain understanding of their caring role in supporting a loved one facing mental health issues. It is easily accessible online, providing confidential support in the privacy of your own location. The first 150 applicants will have their fee sponsored by HelpingMinds. “Our carer support groups are also available in WA’s remote areas, as well as the metropolitan area. There are regular meetings for carers and families to come together to share experiences and to get feedback from others in similar predicaments. In this way they can learn about available treatments or services from the various agencies. It is a way of offering and receiving support from others.” With mental health issues also touching young Australians. HelpingMinds provides free professional counselling and support for young carers (8 to 18 year old), who have a friend or family member with a mental health condition. This helps them to develop healthy coping strategies and boost self-esteem and confidence. For secondary school students, HelpingMinds offers its Changing Minds program, a one-hour interactive sessions for students, teachers and parents. During school holidays young carers in two age ranges: (8 to 12 years old and 13 to 18 years old), can take up free recreation activities such as movies, roller-blading, 10pin bowling, visits to The Great Escape and many others.

I was lying in bed with my fiancé the other night and we were discussing the fact that because I’m currently between jobs (i.e. recently redundant), for the first time in our relationship we have spent six weeks in a row together. My fiancé jokingly said that if we can get through seeing each other every day for six weeks, our marriage would last forever! This got me thinking about an article I read recently that despite the stereotype, people in mining were more likely to be married than any other profession. The common stereotype is that our industry (with its high percentage of FIFO/DIDO/BIBO workers) tends to tear marriages apart. This might be true for some people, but it appears that divorce is more common among the bluecollar workers you find in the city. So why is it that we are more likely to be married? It could be the fact that a lot of people in this industry are from regional areas and still believe in old-fashioned country morals: you find a girl, fall in love and get married. It could be the fact that miners are often paid quite well, so therefore, you don’t see the break ups that are caused by financial problems. But perhaps it’s just like my situation, where normally I’m not home often enough to get on my fiancés nerves? For this reason, we might be in a better position than our city friends to offer advice about marriage and relationships (says the bloke who is onto his second engagement!). Here are three tips that I've learnt over the years through trial and error… 1. COMMUNICATION Communication is the most important part of any relationship and I don’t mean simply talking about what you did each day. You have to discuss your feelings. I know that sounds really scary, especially for some blokes, but until you can share your emotions with your partner you will never truly be completely comfortable with the one you love. If you can’t share your innermost feelings with your partner, who can you share them with? 2. LISTENING I’m mainly talking to the blokes out there about this one, but also to some ladies. Listening isn’t just being quiet while someone else is talking. Real listening, the type I’m sure most of the guys have heard their wives complain about, is where you take in each and every word of what the other person is saying. You listen to the words alone. You don’t listen and simultaneously think about your response. This is difficult to do, but all anyone ever really wants is to be heard. The next time your partner is upset and wants to talk, just listen. Listen to every word and put yourself in their shoes. Try to feel the emotions they would be going through and don’t always try to fix the problem. If they want the problem fixed, they'll ask. 3. DON'T TAKE YOUR PARTNER FOR GRANTED Finally, do not take your partner for granted. We all tend to be guilty of this from time to time, but allowing it to become the norm is a recipe for disaster. It doesn’t matter if you’re a great person, a great parent or a great provider. If you take your partner for granted, they will feel unappreciated. So do something romantic from time to time. Surprise them with a gift, take them somewhere different for a change, or buy your wife a dress or a pair of shoes. It doesn’t even matter if she likes them, it's about the fact that you cared enough to think to do it. You can also send thoughtful text messages, or leave little notes around the house for them to find while you're gone. Don’t forget that your partner needs to feel like you still think they are special, no matter how long you have been together. Now, I’m no expert, but I’ve learnt through one failed engagement and one almost successful engagement that with these three tips, you too could have a wonderful, enduring relationship. n 6 First Date Questions S pring is a time that everybody loves. After hibernating on the couch for months on end, we are ready to celebrate with everything that spring brings. It’s the time, when if you’re single, you want to meet that someone special and you start going out on those first dates… For successful singles, maneuvering their way through a first date can be more terrifying than chairing a board meeting, however this kind of painful experience is not necessary. Once you’ve asked one of these first date questions allow the conversation to flow and see where it takes you! It’s also important to remember to listen. Be present with your date and take in what they are saying. Too often people like to talk about themselves but never really take in what someone is saying. A first date, no matter what, is always daunting. Unless you can see that you have no connection, it is always good to try for a second date when people are more relaxed and you see their true selves. n 1. What would your one perfect day entail? 2. When was the last time you really laughed? Why? 3. Who is your best friend? Tell me about them. 4. What are your pet peeves? 5. What were you like as a child? 6. What should I know about you that I would never think to ask? that help the Conversation By Louise Roberts Relationship and Dating Coach www.justcoffeedating.com Here are some great first date questions that are guaranteed to get the conversation flowing: www.inflightmagazine.com.au Issue 42 35

P erth Speed Fest is held on 13 December 2015 and will be a spectacular showcase of motoring from pre 1940s until now.The event will feature parade laps of stunning classic, modified and modern cars and bikes, motorsport action on The Tarmac, Extreme Tarmac and The Dirt – drag, motox, rally, drift, speedway, stunt bikes and moremore.There is even a chance to rub shoulders with motorsport royalty in the VIP areas and The Pits. For the first time, Formula 1 star Daniel Ricciardo will bring the Red Bull Racing RB7 2011 worldchampionship winning car to Perth to race three times on the customised Tarmac track. This is what Daniel ‘the boy from Duncraig’ Ricciardo had to say when we quizzed him about coming home for Perth Speed Fest: Besides seeing family and friends, what do you love about coming back to Perth? It’s the weather and the whole laid-back atmosphere and lifestyle. There’s nothing like it! Where is your mustvisit when showing visitors around Perth? One thing we’re proud of are our beaches and I reckon Australians do breakfast well, so an outside breakfast in a café near the beach is a pretty good way to get into a day. If you had a holiday in WA, where would you go and why? You have to go down south to Margaret River, Dunsborough, Yallingup and those areas. What’s your favourite season and why? There’s no contest, summer all year round! It can’t be too hot either though. What are you looking forward to the most at Perth Speed Fest? Giving the locals a chance to see a Formula One car and giving them a taste of it. We have an Aussie GP but it’s not in Perth, so it’s a treat for the people in Perth. I’ve got a massive support base there, so in a way it’s good to give something back and let them have a good time. www.perthspeedfest.com n BUCKLE UP YOU WON’T WANT TO MISS THIS Images courtesy Red Bull Photos.

T abata involves exercising single muscle groups for 8 sets of 20 seconds work, with 10 seconds rest between each set (4 minutes). Complete 8 rounds before starting the next exercise and so on for the entire workout. Tabata is the name of a Japanese researcher who discovered an interesting way to increase both anaerobic and aerobic pathways at the same time. As far as metabolic training and conditioning for sport goes, this is the king of all conditioning and fat loss methods. Workout – Legs Like Legs Should Look The exercises I use here to work you’re legs using the Tabata methods are; A. Squat w. Flat heel B. Lunge Lateral C. Lunge Jumps Start with exercise A. and complete as many reps as you can in 20 seconds. After 20 seconds have a complete rest for 10 seconds rest. Then complete the next 7 sets in the same conduct. After completing the first round, take 60 seconds rest before starting exercise B. Taurus Trainer Tip: Use the "lowest rep number" of any of the 8 sets as measurement to compare workout to workout. If you prefer other leg exercises, then do them using the same format. The Tabata Method is simple and effective training without feeling like you need to spend money on gym memberships or expensive equipment - and it’s a great time saver. Oh and that thing you're trying to brush off your face at the end of the workout? That would be the floor. You’ll need a bit of ticker and vision of what all the hard work is for – better legs and a fitter body. As Will Smith once quoted “Talent you have naturally, skill is only developed in putting in hours and hours and hours beatin’ on your craft”. This training method will increase the after burn effect to your body known as Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) which is good news for fat burning and muscle gain. n Steve Roberts, owner of Taurus Trainer, is an exercise physiologist and certified strength and conditioning specialist.

The commercial vehicle range includes on and off-road models beginning with car licence vans, through to road train prime movers rated at up to 140 tonnes GCM. The Acco and Powerstar vehicles, developed and produced specifically for the Australian market, complement Iveco’s worldwide best sellers such as the Daily, Eurocargo, Trakker and Stralis. Iveco vehicles are ably supported by a dedicated network of 46 dealerships and service outlets strategically located nationwide, offering aftersales services that include extended warranties, roadside assistance and programmed maintenance contracts. Iveco’s Australian manufacturing base in Dandenong, Victoria, represents a major investment in the local truck and bus industry. Iveco directly employs more than 600 people nationwide and thousands more Australians in related industries, from retailing operations to component suppliers. For more on Iveco visit: www.iveco.com T I veco is making it more convenient than ever for buyers of its awardwinning Daily range to purchase a car licence cab chassis variant and have it on the worksite without delay, following the introduction of its 2015 work-ready factory Tipper and Tray models. Cab chassis buyers have traditionally had to purchase their body separately, often experiencing delays during body fitment and subsequent waiting before the vehicle is put to work and is earning revenue for the business owner. The Daily work-ready models address this, featuring high quality European tipper and tray bodies and can be driven straight from the dealership showroom to the work site once registered and insured. Three-way Tipper Iveco is the only light commercial manufacturer offering a work-ready three-way tipping body, providing the convenience of a factory-fitted steel body with the added benefits of both rear and side (left and right) tipping functions. The generously proportioned tipping body measures 3700mm (l) x 2100mm with 400mm sideboards and tailgate, providing an estimated payload of 1500 kg. The Tipper also includes a full headboard providing excellent protection to the back of cab area. Full-steel construction using 1.8mm plate and corrosion inhibitor treatment ensures durability, while the subframe is hot-dipped galvanised and powder coated. The body is specifically designed for the Daily cab chassis resulting in superior fit, finish and functionality. Sideboards and tailgate feature galvanised steel locks which are flush mounted when locked for improved safety. The sideboards and tailgates can also be quickly removed if the job requires it. Other body features include built-in anchor points which are also fully retractable and flush when not in use. For increased safety during tipping, the body features a tilt limit stop cable and safety pole. Operating the tipping body is easy via a hand-held remote, and the raise time is fast with full tilt at only 25 seconds. Conventional Tray The Daily factory Tray provides a huge 4092 mm (l) x 2072 mm tray with 400 mm sideboards and tailgate, ensuring there’s plenty of room for materials and equipment. Also standard is a full height headboard for extra back of cab protection. Combining a hot dipped galvanised and powder coated steel subframe with anodised aluminium tray base, sideboards and tailgate, the tray is light weight yet durable. Internally the base is further reinforced with a 15mm marine plywood liner with scratchresistant and non-slip phenolic film. Sideboards feature a smooth, nonsharp finish with flush locks and can be easily removed without tools. The tray includes several fully retractable and flush anchor points. As with the tipping body, the tray is also specifically designed for the Daily cab chassis and as an added bonus incorporates a built-in, lockable toolbox. The bodies are fitted to Iveco’s popular 50C17 Daily model, providing buyers with all the benefits of the recentlyreleased Daily range. The vehicles are equipped with a powerful yet fuel efficient 3-litre turbodiesel Iveco engine producing 125kW and 430Nm and feature a car licence-friendly 4,495kg GVM. An optional 5,200kg GVM is also available. A further benefit of the range is a generous 3,500kg braked towing capacity. Coupled to the engine is a choice of Iveco’s smooth-shifting 6-speed manual transmission, or the market-leading 8-Speed ‘Hi-Matic’ full automatic transmission, which provides super crisp gear changes for seamless power delivery.

This will help you familiarise yourself with the emergency exits, brace position and the location of your life jacket. DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS (DVT) It has been reported that some airline passengers have developed clots in deep blood vessels, often in the lower legs, as a result of sitting for an extended period without exercise or movement. This condition is known medically as Deep Vein Thrombosis, or DVT. If blood clot fragments break off and lodge in other areas of the body such as the lungs, they may cause a possible fatal pulmonary thrombosis when a person starts walking after being immobile for a long time. The risk factors for DVT include varicose veins, recent surgery or injury in the lower legs, malignant diseases, past history of DVT, obesity, pregnancy and recent childbirth. Anyone with these risk factors is advised to consult a doctor prior to flying to find out how to minimise the risk of DVT. During the flight, we recommend passengers take the following precautions: • Drink plenty of fluids, especially water, and minimise intake of alcohol. • Exercise onboard the aircraft by moving and stretching your toes, rotating your ankles, raising and lowering each leg and massaging your calves gently. In addition, we suggest that you avoid crossing your legs. SEATBELTS Seatbelts must be firmly fastened for take-off, landing and whilst the seatbelt sign is illuminated. We do recommend that your seatbelt be fastened at all times whilst seated in case of unexpected turbulence. TRAY TABLES/SEAT BACKS Please ensure your tray tables and your seat backs are in the upright position for take-off and landing. SMOKING Government regulations strictly prohibit smoking on all domestic flights. Special smoke detectors have been fitted to the toilet on board the aircraft. Smoking is also prohibited on the tarmac and throughout the terminal buildings. CARRY ON LUGGAGE If you have carry on luggage please stow it in the overhead lockers or under the seat in front of you. Hand luggage not correctly stowed may cause injury in the event of unexpected turbulence. ELECTRONIC DEVICES Hazards exist to aircraft systems by Electro-Magnetic Interference from Portable Electronic Devices. The interference can cause aircraft systems to malfunction. To provide adequate protection for the aircraft please note that: mobile phones are not to be used at any time on board the aircraft. Other devices such as compact disc players, portable palm top and lap top computers, cassette players, personal electronic organisers or personal video games may be used during cruise only, NOT when the aircraft is taking off and landing. FOKKER 100 Engines: Twin jet Seating Capacity: 108 seats Wing-span: 28.1 metres Aircraft Length: 35.5 metres Max altitude: 35000 feet Cruise Speed: 800 km/h Payload: Up to 10400 kilograms 42 Issue 42 www.inflightmagazine.com.au

Find out more: www.atg-glovesolutions.com IS GRIP THE NEW SAFETY FEATURE? This will, perhaps, be the world’s shortest article, since the answer to that question is yes: grip is indeed the new safety feature. But why is grip able to offer the glove user more safety? Surely gloves have always had grip, so how can this be a new thing? The answer to these questions is to do with the type of grip, the way it’s delivered and the additional benefits it brings. As any tyre manufacture will tell you, power is nothing without grip. Grip has to be optimized for the surface condition of the road or track and gloves are no different. CUT RESISTANCE Often the response to recurring cut injuries is to introduce gloves with higher levels of cut resistance. However, increasing the cut resistance often treats the effect, i.e. cuts, rather than the cause of the issue, i.e. movement. After all, it’s the movement of what the hand is holding that frequently cuts the glove. Simply put, if it doesn’t slip then it cannot cut. Used correctly, a glove with ANSI cut level 2 / EN level 3 with the right grip can be as effective if not more effective than a glove with ANSI cut level 4 / EN level 5. Using thinner gloves will also increase worker acceptance through better comfort. WORKER COMFORT Worker comfort is always one of the first things people consider when selecting or trying on a glove. Is it comfortable? Does it offer the needed dexterity, flexibility and tactility? Gloves that offer more cut resistance are frequently more bulky, working against the other metrics. It’s a question of protection versus comfort. It’s fundamental to get this right, since bulky gloves will be taken off for precision-handling tasks leaving bare hands exposed to the risk of a cut. This is why many case studies conclude that using gloves with a higher cut resistance will not necessarily reduce the injury frequency rate (IFR). TIME FOR CHANGE We at ATG® believe so. Unlike any other form of PPE, gloves have to enhance the performance of the most advanced working tool, the hand. As such, a glove has to offer the user comfort whilst remaining durable and providing the appropriate level of grip. As professional work gloves are going to rest against the skin for long periods of time, day in, day out, we at ATG® believe that the dermatological aspect has to be taken into consideration. Forthesereasons,weatATG® believethatpeople needing cut-resistant gloves have been poorly served by PU gloves since the coated area does not breathe due to the solid film construction. Given the palm of the hand has the most sweat glands per cm² (370 cm²) of anywhere on the body, this is a major hindrance in offering the comfort professional glove wearers deserve. Inspired to develop a totally new cut-resistant glove based on the core values of MaxiFlex® , ATG® created the world’s first game-changing biomimetic glove, the MaxiFlex® Cut™ . TM

PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ASKING US TO MAKE A CUT RESISTANT MAXIFLEX ® THAT’S STILL SUPER THIN, FLEXIBLE, DEXTEROUS AND COMFORTABLE. So we did. Here it is. Our new MaxiFlex® Cut™ blends outstanding comfort with remarkable durability and cut-resistance making it exceptional value for money. 360° breathability through the integration of our AirTech™ technology platform in the glove coating to keep your hands cool and comfortable. The reinforcement between the thumb and forefinger, improves cut resistance and extends glove life in an inherently weak area. An ultra thin coating affording you the dexterity to get the job done.
