Nurses Admit
Inappropriate Actions
Nurses at the CWM Hospital in Fiji's
Capital City who posted threatening
and derogatory comments via social
media to relatives of a man accused of
stabbing his wife early this month in
Suva, have admitted their actions were
inappropriate.
The victim is also a nurse who is still
being admitted at the hospital.
In a letter obtained by the media,
Medical Superintendent Dr Jemesa
Tudravu informed relatives via the
complainant that the nurses were
sincerely remorseful and have vowed
to stop posting further comments on
social media.
The nurses in question at CWM
hospital have admitted to me that
they have acted inappropriately in
responding to what they perceived
were unfair remarks against a very
close colleague and flat mate of theirs
who they had just witnessed been
brutally attacked and injured badly,
Tudravu said.
He said the nurses were under
significant emotional trauma from the
incident and were not fully cognisant
of the consequences of their actions.

With the launching of the Fiji Airways
Global Reservations Centre in Suva,
45 new jobs were created.
Fiji Airways Managing Director
and Chief Executive Officer Stefan
Pitchler, who officiated the opening,
said this would contribute to the growth
for Fijians and the development of the
local economy.
The Call Centre is a joint venture
between Pacific Call Comm. Ltd
(a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiji
Airways) and Australian-Maltese
Company Centre Com Pacific PTY
Ltd.
The Shift
Fiji Airways contracts expired with
previous call centre, Mindpearl leaving
the company to go out for tender.
Mr Pitchler later added the company
needed a move for the betterment of
the airline.
Our customers deserve better. We
didnt have a very good call quality,
we had more abandoned calls, the calls
lasted more than we think, and people
couldnt get through so we had issues.
The company wanted to be more in
control of the service they provide and
if we get it right we make money out of
it which led to the shared interest with
our current partner.

Fiji Water has big plans for 2015 and the first thing on their to-do list is to
redesign its iconic bottle and label.
The company launched its newly
changed product at Governors
Restaurant in Suva.
Fiji Water Global Company President,
David Ricanati it is time for a change.
I think this is clearly one of the most
exciting things we have done in the past
few years and its a new fresh modern
look. It stands out in retail shelves and
thats why packaging is so important
because you want consumers to walk
down the aisle, stop and grab your
product. And that was really out intent
was in the kind of rebranding efforts.
We are very excited about its prospects
not only in Fiji but around the world.
The company plans to explore more
markets in the international arena.
Our goal is to grow double digits in the
international markets where we see a real
future for Fiji Water in regions of the world
like Asia where China is a fast-growing
market for us. Followed by Singapore,
Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia and areas
in the Middle East where we are very
enthusiastic about growth opportunities.
And frankly here in the South Pacific
where we see lots of growth opportunities
all throughout the region.
Last year the company exported 12,000
containers of Fiji Water overseas.
Ricanati says this year they are aiming
to exceed that amount.

crossings, he said.
The strength of the loonie tends to go
in cycles, and Canada has had a long
stretch with a strong currency. Except
for a five-month period during the
global financial meltdown in late 2008
and early 2009, the Canadian dollar
has been above 80 cents since June
2005. Its peak during this run was in
November 2007, when the Canadian
dollar was $1.07 compared to the U.S.
dollar.
A weaker Canadian dollar is not all
bad news for the Whatcom County
economy. Recently Canadians have
been making more inquiries about
expanding into the U.S. market by
opening a facility in Whatcom County,
said Guy Occhiogrosso, president of
the Bellingham/Whatcom Chamber of
Commerce & Industry. The reason for
this interest is because Canadian firms
can collect the stronger U.S. dollar by
selling products in this market.
Jim Pettinger is expecting an uptick
in interest from Canadian companies
seeking to enter the U.S. market.
Pettinger, president of International
Market Access in Ferndale, regularly
organizes seminars in Canada about
doing business in the U.S. He said
having the Canadian dollar in the
low 80-cent range is ideal for this
trend. Anything below 80 cents and
it becomes challenging for Canadian
companies to pay for the initial capital
costs.Our message to Canadians
interested in entering the U.S. market
is to do it now, Pettinger said, noting
that it takes time to get everything in
place to make it happen.
If the Canadian dollar stays low,
Occhiogrosso believes retailers can
sustain the drop in Canadian traffic.
What he hopes will happen is that
local residents will pick up some of
the expected drop-off in retail sales.
He noted the U.S. economy continues
to improve, and local residents are
benefiting from the low gas prices. With
fewer Canadians at Whatcom County
stores, it also might mean that those
who went to shop in Skagit County
because the local big-box stores were
too crowded would return to shopping
in Whatcom County, he said.

Lying about Risky or Dangerous
Behavior
Its important to differentiate here
between lies that cover up for drug use
or other risky behavior, as opposed to
every day lies that some teens tell
just as a matter of habit or convenience.
Make no mistake, lying that results
in, or covers for, unsafe or illegal
behavior must be addressed directly.
If your child is lying about things that
might be dangerous, involving drug
or alcohol use, stealing, or other risky
behavior, seek resources and support in
your local community.
Why Doesnt My Child Care that
Lying is Wrong?
Adolescence is such a tough time:
trying to fit in, feeling unfairly judged or
limited, wanting to be seen as powerful
even while you feel completely
powerless. Teens and pre-teens are
navigating some pretty challenging
waters. For some, lying can seem like
an easy way to deal with the stress
of being a teenager. According to the
Adolescent Psychology, an occasional
fib from a child is nothing to get too
concerned about. Chronic dishonesty
and exaggeration, on the other hand,
should be addressed but maybe not in
the ways you think.
We talk with many people on the
subject who feel that lying is a moral
issue. But even so, as James advises,
treating it that way is not likely to
help solve the problem. When your
child tells a lie, giving a lecture about
why its wrong is probably not going
to help them change their behavior.
Most of the time, theyre tuning out
our words of wisdom anyway! On the
other hand, if you feel that your child
for lying.
Exaggerating and Lying for the Sake
of Lying
If your child isnt simply lying to keep
out of trouble, you might have to dig
a little deeper to find out whats going
on. Start by saying, I notice that you
often lie about things that seem strange
to me. For example, when I asked you
where the phone was, you said I dont
know, I dont have it, and then I found
it in your room. You wouldnt have
been in trouble if youd told the truth.
Can you tell me why you lied about it?
If your child is exaggerating a story,
you might ask, I was interested in
your story, and then it seemed like you
started to add things to it that werent
true. Can you tell me why you decided
to do that?
Now I realize you may not get a great
answer from your child. From some
teens, a shrug is the best response you
can hope for. But by acknowledging
the lie without moralizing or lecturing,
you are sending a powerful message to
your child that being dishonest wont
get them what they want. You are also
letting them know that you are aware
of the fact that they were being less
than truthful.
Kids often dont understand how
hurtful lies can be. Still, you need to
remind them that not knowing doesnt
make it okay. Start a discussion
with your child about honesty and
dishonesty, and why they choose to lie.
And remember, focus on the problem
your child is trying to solve instead of
on the morality of lying. You may not
be able to stop your teen from creating
those every day lies, but you can send
the message that there are other options
available.

Fargo TV series, Brinton said the local
industry is facing a welcome problem.
Its incredibly busy and one of the
challenges is crew availability, he said.

A new business was opening and one
of the owners friends wanted to send
him flowers for the occasion.
They arrived at the new business site
and the owner read the card,. Rest
in Peace.
The owner was angry and called the
florist to complain.
After he had told the florist of the
obvious mistake and how angry he
was, the florist replied,

but rather than getting angry, you
should imagine this: Somewhere,
there is a funeral taking place today,
and they have flowers with a note
saying, Congratulations on your
new location!
