Guests applauded and cheered as RFDS Western Operations chief pilot Albin Unger disembarked on home soil. Broome RFDS staff witnessed the historic touchdown of the Rio Tinto LifeFlight PC-24 jet as it landed in Western Australia for the fi rst time. The RFDS’ acquisition and medical fi t-out of two PC-24 jets is a world fi rst for aero medical service and an investment of $26 million, funded with the support of our major partner Rio Tinto ($10M) and the Commonwealth Government ($4.5M). Since the arrival of the jet in Western Australia, RFDS pilots, engineers and medical teams have undertaken a comprehensive training program to ensure the jet’s seamless entry into service and integration into the Western Operations fl eet. The second LifeFlight PC-24 jet arrived in Western Australia last month. The jets will be housed at the RFDS Jandakot and Broome hangars.

AUTUMN 2019 THE FLYING DOCTOR 03 CYCLING FOR A CAUSE Those who have tackled it call it a life-changing experience. It’s challenging, breathtaking and hilariously good fun. It’s the kind of event that helps forge lifelong friendships. The annual Gibb River Mountain Bike Challenge is on again this May. The 660-kilometre team relay event, which raises money for the RFDS, is run from Derby to El Questro, taking in some of our state’s most beautiful and remote landscapes. This year’s event is the thirteenth challenge and, yet again, it has attracted people from across Australia who have a shared passion for adventure and raising funds for the RFDS.

Tato skupina je pro mě každodenní rutina, protože se nenajde den, kdybych si o nich něco nepřečetla a nepustila si jejich písničky. Už dva roky jsem jejich fanynka – v hudebním světě directionerka. Za tu dobu jsem se o nich dozvěděla spoustu informací.

  • Metlife Stadium Official Partner
    One Size Does Not Fit All MetLife Stadium Official Partner HOST OF SUPERBOWL XLVIII MetLife Stadium, host of Superbowl XLVIII and home to the NY Giants and NY Jets acquired a turnkey outdoor temporary flooring system from Matrax Inc. to cover the synthetic turf during non-football events. Since opening in April of 2010, MetLife has hosted large musical acts including: Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, The Eagles, Kenny Chesney, Taylor Swift, Beyonce/Jay-Z, One Direction, Eminem/Rihanna, AC/DC, and many more. Supports Heavy Vehicular Traffic TURF PROTECTION ESSENTIALS The primary purpose of the Matrax field covering system is to protect the synthetic field turf, support heavy vehicular traffic during the construction of the stages and lighting systems, and provide a safe surface for the general public during the event. 100% Drivable Other systems that MetLife had used in the past did not meet MetLife’s performance expectations as these products were poorly designed and could not support fully loaded 40’ tractor-trailers weighing 45,000 lbs. In the past the trailers had to be unloaded in the parking lot and the components of the stage shuttled in on smaller lighter duty vehicles. This process was costly and time consuming. In addition, one of the systems used caused Aerial View damage to the synthetic turf it was intended to protect. Matrax, Inc. / 1-855-MAT-ROAD / [email protected] www.matraxinc.com One Size Does Not Fit All MetLife Stadium Official Partner Where other field covering systems are designed from flooring perspective, Matrax was engineered with temporary road building and heavy vehicular traffic in mind.

  • One Direction Real Person Fiction on Wattpad.Com: a Textual Analysis of Sex and Romance
    ONE DIRECTION REAL PERSON FICTION ON WATTPAD.COM: A TEXTUAL ANALYSIS OF SEX AND ROMANCE Ashley Hedrick A thesis submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the School of Media and Journalism. Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Francesca Dillman Carpentier Daniel Kreiss Kate Weisshaar ©2018 Ashley Hedrick ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Ashley Hedrick: One Direction Real Person Fiction on Wattpad.com: A textual analysis of sex and romance (Under the direction of [Francesca Dillman Carpentier]) This study conducted a textual analysis of 24 of the most popular real person fiction stories published on Wattpad.com about the members of the boy band One Direction. The analysis identified several problematic themes across the stories regarding gender roles and gendered sexual scripts. Males dominated sexual interactions, initiating kissing and sexual activity and actively participating in kissing and sexual activity twice as often as females in the dataset. The language used to describe kissing and sexual activity often insinuated male aggression or attack and female surprise at males’ sudden actions. Pain and hesitance/unease for kissing and sexual activity emerged as a prevalent theme expressed by female characters in these stories. Furthermore, inconsistent conceptualizations of sexual consent, nonconsensual sexual activity, and rape/sexual assault varied across the data in a ways that reinforce sexist patriarchal dominance. Gender roles outside of romantic relationships also reinforced the ideal of patriarchal protection of females. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am so grateful for the wonderful people who supported me while conducting this research.
