Reducing stigma starts with the words we use, and shifting the way we talk about dementia is a powerful step forward. This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.

This World Alzheimer’s Month, Ryman is highlighting the importance of reducing the discrimination caused by stigma surrounding people living with dementia.
Caroline Bartle, Ryman’s Dementia Care and Innovations Lead, says that using appropriate language when referring to people with Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can foster a more inclusive society. This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.

We can confirm (📸 see the pic in the comments) that flights have been recorded at altitudes below 3,000 feet over Khandallah and below 4,000 feet over Johnsonville.
The terrain in these areas varies significantly: 🌳 Khandallah is 880 feet, 🌄 Broadmeadows is 984 feet, 🏘️ Johnsonville is 495 feet, 🏞️ Horokiwi is 820 feet, 🌊 Korokoro is 135 feet, and 🏡 Newlands is 453 feet.
So, while the document doesn’t explicitly state it, flights are flying low and close to the suburbs under the current DMAPS flight path. 🌍 Sea level comparisons aren’t an accurate representation because the topography of our Wellington suburbs varies! 🌿

🔎*Compare the old vs. new flight paths*:
*Page 7*: Old flight path
*Page 4*: New flight path (however, see more in the comments 👇)
🔎*Check page 2*: It mentions that pilots can request to deviate from the path, but 'occasionally deviating' is very different from being directly under the new path. Previously, lighter turboprop planes flew over, but now DMAPS concentrates jet engine aircraft over suburbs, causing a significant noise increase.
📊*Noise impact*:
*Old*: 54dB (prop planes) - this is what an Airways Report tells us.
*New*: Up to 80dB (jet engines) - actual noise captured by sound monitors in the suburbs (this isn't included in the consultation documentation). And remember, decibels increase exponentially like the Richter scale!
🚨Plus, unlike on the previous flight path, DMAPS means more frequent flights, with smaller gaps between them, and an increase in jet departures means higher noise levels for longer periods over the new path. That's why we're pushing for the DMAPS decision to be *reversed*, reverting to the old flight path - which isn't the same as sending all the jets over another suburb.

10 partitioned containers - used sparingly over the years so making space in the cupboard 😆
Replaced as part of our kitchen renovation, still works fine.
Some scratches but barely noticeable.
Has 3 settings & lights
Pick up only
Motor stopped working - chose not to repair as our needs have changed and replacing was equal cost to repair.
Figured we’ll post here in case someone is looking for a new project 🤓
