Today's problematic ship is the Kaitaki
Kaitaki is a ferry operated by the New Zealand (Aotearoa) operator Interislander (a subsidiary of the national rail operator KiwiRail). On 28 January 2023, the ship lost power while en route from Picton to Wellington, initially adrift and later anchored outside Wellington for several hours with over 800 passengers onboard.
A subsequent inquiry revealed the loss of power to be caused by the use of out-of-date engine parts: an eighteen-year-old rubber expansion joint of the ship's water cooling system ruptured. The rubber expansion joints of this type should be replaced every five years, and should not be older than eight months when installed. The part onboard the Kaitaki was 13 years old when installed.

Picton & Marlborough Sounds
Picton & Marlborough Sounds
Gateway to the South Island, Picton is a charming small town of 5,000 people, which most people pass through but relatively few stay in. They’re missing out as it’s a lovely spot to spend time, at the mouth of the magnificent Marlborough Sounds. The Marlborough Sounds cover a huge area, making up nearly 10% of New Zealand’s total coastline, with a large number of islands and peninsulas,…

I was curious if Lore Forge had done anything more with Meanwhile playtesting, and they have! It looks like they've put up the full rulebook a while back, and have added Captain Cosmic and Sky-Scraper to the lineup, as well as doing full conversions of a bunch of the Tactics characters! Including both Legacies and the rest of the Freedom Five!
I should perhaps print them out and do some actual playtesting, at least enough to learn the basics of the game. And it could be fun to try!
#sentinels of the multiverse#prime war#Meanwhile#the weirdest thing about the playtest stuff is that the art is all gone and the names are de-identified#but in the same way as those knockoff superhero costumes#so Haka is now Kaitaki (which apparently means Challenger - okay fair enough)#Apostate becomes Daemon - yawn#and Captain Cosmic becomes Father Cosmos#listen I know people think of him as a bit of A Daddy#but no

By motorcycle through New Zealand?
There are great hiking trails both around Arthur's Pass National Park and around the village of Moana on Lake Brunner. The TranzAlpine runs daily between Christchurch and Greymouth. It leaves Christchurch at 8.15am and arrives in Greymouth at 12.45pm. An hour later it goes back. Therefore, you can plan the trip as a day trip.
How many inhabitants does New Zealand have?
4.794 million (2017)
And the "must do's" are overcrowded. We also often asked ourselves whether this is really soooo great and worth seeing, as advertised. No, but they live it better than we do in Europe. I must clearly say so. However, if this was not issued in English, you also need a certified translation of the driver's license. You can obtain a certified translation either in New Zealand from the New Zealand National Transport Agency, at an embassy or consulate, or at the office where your driver's license was issued.
On the train: open observation car
Bluebridge uses the two modern ferries "Straitsman" and "Strait Feronia" on this route, while Interislander operates a fleet consisting of "Aratere", "Kaiarahi" and "Kaitaki". All ferries are state of the art and guarantee a relaxed and comfortable experience on board for the duration of the journey.
On a road trip with a camper, it is important to you that you can just stop and spend the night wherever you want?
Christchurch is still an exciting place after the earthquake that destroyed the city center City - there is a lot to discover and surprisingly a lot of street art.
The kiwis, as the locals call themselves, have their own special characteristics.
Hach.
I have to say that clearly.
What is the population of Wellington?
Dangerous animals in New Zealand There are fewer or no dangerous animal species in the country or apart from the rare Katipo spider , In New Zealand there are over 1100 species of spiders out of the approximately 40,000 species known to date worldwide. Few are weakly toxic.
Queenstown is on the Southern Scenic Route. A particularly well-known tourist attraction is Milford Sound. The 14 km long body of water belongs to the Fiordland National Park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can even spot dolphins during a boat trip. • Almost all motorhome rental companies allow one-way rentals, so that you can start in Auckland and fly back in Christchurch. The surcharge outweighs the double ferry trip between North and South Island. • Once you get used to driving the slightly larger vehicle, there is nothing standing in the way of the New Zealand tour on your own. You don't want to miss any blog posts and take a look behind the scenes? Then sign up for the newsletter.
New Zealand: Vacationers will soon need an entry permit
However, numerous construction sites can cause delays in summer. In the hinterland there are also some unpaved roads, for which you usually need a four-wheel drive vehicle. It is usually not allowed to drive the rental car on unpaved roads. The best thing to do is to ask the car rental company in advance which Campervan camping park roads you are not allowed to drive on and mark them on the map. Even if you won't cover the same long distances in New Zealand as in some other Work & Travel countries, you shouldn't underestimate the travel times.

29.01.2019, Tag33, Sail-Over, Picton
Good Bye Wellington. Es war auch dieses Mal ein schöner, durch und durch entpannter Aufenthalt in der sanften Mini-Metropole und Hauptstadt.
Heute setzen wir aber erst einmal wieder über auf die Südinsel. Die große Fähre, Interislander, wird uns aus der Fitzroy Bay heraus über die Cook Strait und in den Queen Charlotte Sound (Fjord) nach Picton bringen. Auf der Karte ist die Überfahrt, die ca. 4 Std. dauert, mit der gelben Linie eingezeichnet. Außerdem zeigt die blaue Linie den 3. Great Walk, den Abel Tasman Coastal Walk. Diesen werden wir aus Gründen der Zeitersparnis und zu Gunsten einiger Tageswanderungen in der Weinregion Marlborough, Blenheim und Nelson von 5 auf 4 Etappen verkürzen.
Wir verlassen das Hotel schon um 7:45h in Richtung Bahnhof, von wo aus uns der Shuttle zur Fähre bringt. Wir müssen nicht sehr lange warten.
Es ist eine kleine Rush-Hour. Die Wellingtoner müssen zur Arbeit. Sie fangen zumeist erst gegen 9:00h an und legen den Erzählungen nach zu folgern pünktlichst um 17:00h die Arbeit wieder nieder.
Gegen 8:15h checken wir schon ein und machen uns gleich auf dem großen Schiff Kaitaki kundig und suchen die Lounge, in der wir die Überfahrt gebucht haben. Aus der Fitzroy Bay heraus ist das Wetter bedeckt und nebelig. Man sieht kaum 200m. Das hält auch an und verstärkt sich sogar nach 2 Stunden und es ist nicht einmal mehr das Wasser von Bord aus zusehen. Wir hoffen dennoch, dass es bei der Einfahrt in den Queen Charlotte Fjord besser wird. Genau wegen diesen überall beschriebenen tollen Aussichten hatten wir uns für diese Überfahrt mit der Fähre entschieden.
Vertieft in mein Buch, schüttelt mich Hilde und sagt, schau mal raus!
Der Nebel ist plötzlich verschwunden. Der Kapitän macht zudem eine Ansage, dass er eben einen Wal auftauchen gesehen hat. Alle, auch Hilde stürmen raus, um das Ereignis noch zu erhaschen. Aber leider: Niente!
Wirklich, schlagartig reißt es auf. Nichts mehr von Dies und Nebel zu sehen. Es eröffnet sich uns ein wundervolles Bild in den Queen Charlotte Sound hinein. Wir bleiben die letzten 45 min draußen auf Deck und genießen diese herrliche Landschaft.

Tanya Marriott | The Moose of Fiordland – Face Value.
I’ve noticed a profound change during the lock-down here in NZ. Everything is quiet and still… no cars, no planes… just many many birds. Out of the window I spied the Moose of Fiordland. He’s a long way North, but this would explain the explosion of birds. As Kaitaki of the forest and all native creatures, he is encouraging them to be brave and to reclaim their original homes. #FaceValue
This piece was designed in response to the call for designs from Pictoplasma. In response to the Covid-19 situation designers were invited to create a mask that represented their situation.

Motion Graphics - Research for Ideas - 4th and 5th of November 2020
For these couple of days, I’ve been researching for different ideas for what I could come up for the motion graphics projects particularly for my research doc looking at an idea for sustainability, diversity and wellbeing. WIth first researching for my design doc, I first started at researching into wellbeing and one topic that immediately jumped out to me was Mental Health specifically something that was very personal to me which was sleep deprivation. This was because of my past experiences with the symptom that I had in A-Levels where I began to hallucinate black shadowy figures. From this, I thought I would expand from this by researching into the issue itself by looking into mental health organisations websites on how they describe it and the definition. In addition to this, I also looked up people’s past experiences of sleep deprivation and how it plays with the mind which I all found really useful towards my idea generation on what I should I should create looking at both After Effects and using real life photography as images for the After Effects.
For Diveristy, I thought back to where I was born as I wasn’t born in England, instead I was from New Zealand and in New Zealand, a large part of it’s culture are the Maori tribe. The tribe has impacted a lot who New Zealanders are from how they greet and speak as well as the tattoos that people wear in reference to the the culture. For research purposes, I looked into all the different types of influences that the Maroi tribe has influenced New Zealand seeing if there any possible ideas for a GIF there as well as looking into the tribe itself to see if there’s anything from the specific culture that could help with my ideas.
Once I came up with my research and ideas for ‘Wellbeing’ and the research for ‘Diversity’, I kind of hit a wall in terms of ideas as I was really struggling to what I could make for the project. This is where I started to look for further inspiration online of what people have made GIF’s out of After Effects. One artist I found that really got my head ticking again was Greg Gunn and his work on Mythical Mondays where he make a animated GIF based on a mythical creature every week for a year. What really got me motivated again with the idea generation is how colorful and funky his designs were which reminded me about this brief being all about using three colours to convey something which Greg really has done with his monster GIFs. Just watching his animations got me really thinking of who I could create my ideas particularly the ones where it involves elements of transformation where one thing turns into another or something jump scares the viewer with something scary where it previously was kept hidden.
youtube
Website - https://www.ggunn.com/work/mythical-mondays-gifs
Artist Interview: Greg Gunn - https://giphy.com/posts/artist-interview-greg-gunn/
Finally for the sustainable ideas having been inspired by Greg’s work, I wanted to explore climate change and environment conservation but I didn’t want to be every generic with my ideas or approach to this topic and create something obvious as I knew a lot of other people were going to choose this topic as well sustainability. I thought about it long and hard but nothing seem to come to me until I accidentally stumbled across an article about a Maori tribe called Tuhoe in New Zealand protects it ‘s scared rain-forest. Here I discovered that they do it by assigning people to be a kaitaki who serve as the rainforest’s guardians which are specific to a particular element of the rain forest like the forest itself or uncultivated foods. These particular elements are linked to a particular god that are known as the frist Kaitaki which I found to be really interesting and fascinating in context of creating a GIF relating to this.
Once I had finished the design doc, I went to brainstorm my drawings for what I wanted to create for the project/Gifs.
Starting with the well-being drawings I did, they all involve the usage of shadow like creatures that stalk a version of me or manipulate a certain aspect of myself for their own doing. For the first row across, I would be asleep with my brain sticking out at the start of the GIF which two black clothed arms start to stretch my brain from side to side with other ghost like faces popping out of the darkness to try and manipulate me too. It ends with a giant mouth closing on the sequence to which it loops back to the my head again. This idea would invole a stop motion approach to it as I could imagine myself with a 2D animated brain being stretched from either side to side with a pair of real physical arms and hands that I would green screen. I really love this idea a lot but I think money wise it will be costly as I would have to get a green screen background and a green screen suit to make this GIF. For the second idea, it consists of me looking to my left to see a black figure and the an other one appears to the right of me and then I look at the camera with jaws consuming me which loops. For the thrid row, I’m sleeping which I’m then awoken by the black figures surrounding me to then realise they’ve all dissapepred. The fourth row is a first person perspective where we look around a bedroom to find a balck figure in the edge of the background. Once we see i, we are then scared by a jumpscare with a quick camera shake for it to loop again.
For Diversity I could only think of two ideas for the time being. The first row shows a plane going across the Earth with the text ‘Ka Kite ano’ being raised up from the bottom of the screen with two peoples head touching each other nose to nose. The second row shows a mouth opening up with a airplane coming out of it travelling through new Zealand culture all to land in the UK. Both of theses ideas both look at my transition to the UK when I was 2 years old as they both represent me leaving the culture to enter a new one.
The last page promotes the ideas of Kaitiakitanga in New Zealand and specifically to the Tuhoe people on how they protect their rainforest from the elements and other people. Each of these Gifs represents a different interpretation of Kaitiakitanga. The first row zooms into different guardian’s eyes revealing a new gaurdain each time on a loop. The second row shows a person growing a plant which transitions to fish swimming and then finally, a guardian growling at the camera. The final idea has three of the Kaitiakitanga gods colliding int to he middle, then another three collide and then the final one appears with bolts of lighting happening around him.
Overall, I think I’ve conducted quite a bit of research to this project already as well as comfortably sitting with a layout of ideas that I could all see myself doing for this project.

Week 7
Jitske -pgs :11-15
Manos Nathan creates bowls with maori carvings to promote authentic maori art, the cravings hold metaphors symbolising Maori myths and legends
Maoris being used in a commercial context without permission
A person's image being used because of its “maoriness” the law does not prevent
Certain names and symbols are protected to prevent impersonation of those with public authority or because these names and symbols are national cultural icons -e.g the new zealand flag
The law does not provide protection for use of images of people uless images have copyright claim or are trademarked
Third parties can use works and knowledge that are the creation of moari culture and acquire property rights in them. They are able to exclude kaitaki from using those works without permission.
Third parties showing interest in incorporating traditional Maori designs and symbols into Nz art, design and architecture. Other parties took offence arguing the misappropriation of the country's artistic heritage. Designs such as the koru used for commercial products such as underwear and toilet paper.- can such offensive uses be prevented?
E.g some would see a cheap plastic Tiki stamped ‘made in china’ as culturally offensive and in other examples designers have used the Tiki in high fashioned goods - is this offensive appropriation or celebratory iconography?
My understanding of the text: The text discusses the Laws white people have made for the Maori rights, copyright, and trademark claim to their cultural, traditional, and historical symbols, songs, stories, art, etc. It discusses the conflict and debate of what is seen as culturally offensive to use in a commercial context, how much of Maori creations are eligible to be held under the protection of the law not to be used commercially, and who gives authority to make these decisions.

French crêpes from La Petite Cabane at Taranaki Multi Ethnic Extravaganza
French crêpes from La Petite Cabane at Taranaki Multi Ethnic Extravaganza
I am meeting Valerie Donsimoni from La Petite Cabane at the Kaitaki Golf Club on the morning of what promises to be a sunny week. We meet there because that’s where Valerie’s husband Pascal together with French partner François operate their catering business L’EPICURE, which they started about two years ago.
Valerie began with her business La Petite Cabane around the same time. Originally a…

Dunedin
So verliessen wir bei Sonnenschein Oamaru und fuhren zur nächsten grösseren Stadt. Das Problem mit der Bremse wurde immer deutlicher und so machte das Betätigen der Bremse durch das Kratzgeräusch richtig weh. So beschlossen wir, einmal mehr die Hilfe der Road Assistance nach der Ankunft in Dunedin zu beanspruchen.
Kugeln und Seehunde
Doch bevor wir Dunedin (nicht [Djundin] sondern [Daniidn] ausgesprochen) erreichten machten wir noch zwei Zwischenstopps. Der erste war am Moreaki Beach. Nach einem 10-minütigen Fussmarsch am Meer entlang erreichten wir die Moreaki Boulders.
Kugelrunde Steine am Meeresufer. Keine Ahnung wie die sich geformt haben oder dorthin gekommen sind. Doch sie machten sich super als Fotomotive.
Der zweite Zwischenstopp lag nur ein paar Kilometer weiter südlich nach dem Dorf Moreaki. Wir parkten unseren Van neben dem Kaitaki Leuchtturm und kämpften uns gegen den Wind die Klippen hinunter.
Hier sollte es auch wieder die Chance geben, Gelbaugenpinguine zu sehen. Doch auch hier hatten wir in dieser Hinsicht wenig Glück. Doch wie schon ein paar Mal, hielten Seelöwen und Seehunde als Lückenbüsser hin.
Doch da das Wetter eher garstig war, hielt sich die Dauer unseres Klippenaufenthaltes in Grenzen und wir kehrten in unseren windstillen Van zurück. Durch die unbefestigte Landstrasse, welche durch Wiesen mit Schafsherden führte, fanden wir wieder auf den Highway zurück und fuhren zu unserem nächsten Stopp, dem Campingplatz in Dunedin (auch dort bei der Ankunft machte die Bremse schreckliche Geräusche).
Wir gingen dann noch in das Städtchen, informierten uns über Wandergelegenheiten im Touristencenter und schauten Rugby bei einem Bier und Schnitzel in einem Pub.
Möwen, überall Möwen
Der nächste Tag zeigte sich bei wunderbarem Sonnenschein. So fuhren wir auf die Halbinsel namens Otago (Otago Peninsula) um unseren Tag dort zu verbringen. So folgten wir der nördlichen Küstenstrasse dem Meer entlang durch unzählige kleine Dörfer und erreichten den nördlichsten Punkt nach ca. 45 Minuten. Dunedin und die Otago Peninsula sind v.a. dafür bekannt, dass man hier den Albatros-Vogel sehen kann. Dafür haben die Neuseeländer hier ein Informationscenter hin gebaut. Doch wenn man den Albatros mit eigenen Augen sehen wollte, hätte man eine Tour buchen müssen. Und die war mit 65 Dollar pro Person doch etwas sehr teuer. Und da keine Brutzeit war, war die Chance einen Albatros zu sehen nicht einmal gewährleistet. Deshalb entschieden wir uns dafür, nur das Informationszentrum zu besuchen, welches super in unser Reisebudget passte, da es gratis war. Doch vorher musste man sich noch durch die Möwenmeute kämpfen.
Tausende von Möwen nisten nämlich am gleichen Ort wie die Albatrosse und so stinkt es unglaublich und der Boden ist übersäht von Exkrementen. Das umherlaufen fühlte sich für uns wie eine Lotterie an. Doch es wurde zudem durch eine super Aussicht auf den (ihr könnt 3x raten) nahe gelegenen Leuchtturm.
Neuseeländische Pyramiden
Danach fuhren wir wieder einen Teil zurück und bogen dann auf eine unbefestigte Landstrasse ab, um zu unserer ersten Wanderung zu gelangen. Diese führte von einem Parkplatz vorbei an Schafen (Schafe, überall Schafe) bis zum Eingang von einem kleinen Naturschutzgebiet. Dieser lag zwischen zwei Hügeln, welche wie zwei von Gras bewachsene Pyramiden aussahen.
Von dort führte dann der Weg über eine leicht hügelige Landschaft zu der Victory Bay. Und wir waren die einzigen am Strand soweit das Auge reichte.
So spazierten wir etwa eine halbe Stunde am Strand entlang und kehrten danach wieder zurück zum Auto.
Danach hatten wir eigentlich noch eine zweite Wanderung geplant, doch zwei Dinge durchquerten unsere Pläne. Erstens wurde die Landschaft etwas hügeliger, was unsere Bremse gar nicht toll fand und sich lautstark beschwerte. Zweitens fuhren wir dem Weg entlang Richtung Startpunkt der zweiten Wanderung. Und dieser Weg wurde von Meter zu Meter schlimmer, das heisst schlammiger und immer mehr grosse Steine lagen im Weg. Uns war nicht mehr ganz mulmig zumute und so begegneten wir einem Bauernpaar und fragten diese, ob die Wanderung noch weit entfernt sei. Sie rieten uns dann, nicht weiter zu fahren, da der Weg noch schlechter wird und viele Touristen mit ihren Autos stecken bleiben… gut, wir entschieden uns daher wieder zu wenden und fuhren stattdessen zur nahe gelegenen Sandfly Bucht. Dort genossen wir noch die Aussicht vom Aussichtspunkt und fuhren dann mit dem Auto zurück ins Camping.
Als erstes checkte Fabian die Bremsscheiben und diese sahen gar nicht gut aus. Tiefe Rillen zierten die Bremsfläche. So rief Fabian die Roadside Assistance per What’s App an. Er vereinbarte mit dem Angestellten am Telefon, dass wir am nächsten Morgen nochmals anrufen sollen, er würde bis dahin einen Termin vereinbaren und uns dann bescheid geben wo und wann wir die Bremsen austauschen lassen können.
Um die ganzen Sorgen um unser Auto zu vergessen, fuhren wir wieder ins Stadtzentrum und gingen in einem Restaurant etwas essen und schauten uns das zweitletzte Gruppenspiel der All Blacks an.
Keine Antwort
Am nächsten Morgen versuchte Fabian noch vor dem Morgenessen die Leute von der Road Assistance zu erreichen. Doch niemand nahm den Anruf an. Daher gingen wir halt erst frühstücken. Danach ein weiterer Anruf und noch einer. Bis kurz vor 10 Uhr (Check Out-Time) versuchten wir ohne Erfolg jemanden zu erreichen. So mussten wir das Camping verlassen und damit auch das Wifi, welches wir benötigten, um per WhatsApp telefonieren zu können. Wir suchten dann im Dorf ein gratis Wifi und riefen bis um kurz vor 10 Uhr unzählige Male auf die Nummer an, doch keine Antwort. So entschieden wir uns halt doch weiter zu fahren und möglichst wenig die Bremse zu benutzen und dann halt in Invercargill (dem nächsten Übernachtungsstopp) wieder versuchen, diese Netten aber unerreichbaren Helfer zu erreichen.
