Small dogs sometimes get a bad rap as being "yappy," hyperactive and harder to train, but as with any stereotype, that's not necessarily the case. Sure, the smaller breeds do indeed pack a lot of personality into a little body. However, they are faithful companions with a lot of heart and have a loving disposition with adults and children alike.

Small dogs can be happy in any space, from a large home to a modest studio apartment, and they tend to live longer than their larger counterparts (from 12 to 20 years), but don't lump them all in one small box. The following breeds have some striking differences between each of their personalities.

'Tornado' hits Otago as winds and heavy downpours lash parts of New Zealand
Katarina Williams, Tom Hunt, Tommy Livingston and Michael Daly20:28, Dec 03 2019

What appears to be a tornado swirled across Central Otago's Lake Dunstan on Tuesday.
As high winds disrupted flights and caused ferries to be delayed around parts of the country, a "tornado" whipped up on an Otago lake flattened trees and left motorists scurrying for cover.

On Tuesday, a swirling gust of wind appeared over the Lowburn inlet off Lake Dunstan near Cromwell shortly after 3pm, whipping up whitecaps as it skittered across the water before crashing into a grove of trees.

Witness Kyle Clark said the funnel rose to around 60 metres and lasted for about 45 seconds, and felled around 20 trees on the edge of the lake.

MetService forecaster Aidan Pyselman said it was hard to confirm that it had been a tornado, suggesting it may have instead been a very strong gust.

Mass cancellations caused havoc with flight schedules in and out of Wellington Airport prompting a request for passengers to defer non-urgent travel from Air New Zealand.

On Tuesday, the departures and arrivals board was awash with cancellations, leaving much of the capital's usually-bustling airport uncharacteristically quiet.

Damage to trees in Central Otago on Tuesday after a tornado-like wind passed over Lake Dunstan, near Cromwell.
A Wellington Airport spokeswoman said by about 6pm, airlines were operating as normal again.

"There may be some disruptions to flights ongoing as a result of the weather. There will be catch-ups from the delays earlier."

The airport was not expecting massive delays on Wednesday, she said.

A car in Hataitai has been crushed by a tree which has fallen as high winds lash Wellington on Tuesday.
Among those caught up in the flight mayhem was the Wellington under-19 cricket team who had their original flight to Christchurch cancelled.

The weather also forced Metlink to restrict or cancel some of its Wellington ferry crossings. While Interislander ferries were still operating, high winds were causing delays in berthing in Picton.

Trees were also down in Island Bay, Strathmore, Thorndon, Hataitai and Makara.

Witnesses have also reported seeing the city's wind wand had blown down beyond 90 degrees at times.

Wind gusts had so far reached 105kmh at Wellington Airport and 137kmh at the top of Mt Kaukau.

MetService meteorologist Lewis Ferris said Wednesday's forecast winds could reach 90 kmph gusts.

"[Wednesday] does look like another windy one for Wellington, with the northerly wind picking up in the afternoon," Ferris said.

KELLY HODEL
A ute on Airport Road near Hamilton was struck by falling tree branches as rain lashed the city on Tuesday afternoon.
Wellington and the rest of the North Island would not be as wet on Wednesday, but in the South Island more rain was expected for the West Coast, with possible thunderstorms and gusts to around 100 kmph.

"Strong northwesterly winds are also forecast to affect the Canterbury High Country with a Wind Watch currently in place."

Nelson and the Canterbury high country also have warnings are in place for strong winds.

Roads in Golden Bay have been hit by flooding and trees have been toppled in the Tasman district.






Wellington flights are being cancelled and ferry services restricted as strong winds hit the region.
A front moving up the South Island would bring some rain and stronger winds, gusting up to 140kmh in exposed places.

The same front was forecast to cause extreme weather events all around the country - but different regions would be affected in different ways.

MetService said it expected thunderstorms on the West Coast on Tuesday and Wednesday, along with hail and 100kmh gusts.

NZTA also warned commuters travelling over the Remutaka Hill to take care as gusts were expected to batter the road.

A tree has fallen on top of a parked car in Hataitai as strong winds buffet Wellington on Tuesday.
State Highway 6 at Inangahua Junction - where the Buller River was high and flooding covered the highways - was expected to remain closed until 5pm Tuesday. Fox Glacier to Haast in South Westland was also closed for a time because of fallen trees and slips but was reopened shortly after 3pm.

For Inangahua Junction, a detour along Brown Creek Rd was available but motorists were asked to delay their journeys if possible. No detour was available for the road to Haast.

James will be sorely missed. — Catherine Halley, Editor

Beyond the steady overall warming of the global climate we’ve observed over the course of the past 150 years, there are short-term periods of exceptional warmth, heatwaves, which can wreak havoc on humans and wildlife.Sometimes these heatwaves happen underwater, too, and the impacts can be felt both on land and at sea.

Writing in the journal Oceanography, Alastair Hobday and his colleagues review the causes and effects of recent marine heatwaves (MHWs). Hobday notes that some MHWs, defined as “prolonged discrete anomalously warm water event” are caused by natural atmospheric-oceanic cycles, such as El Niño. These marine events are becoming stronger and more common as the climate warms.

Boeing safety issues


'Fly something else': Former Boeing manager refuses to fly on the 787 Dreamliner.

John Barnett worked as a quality manager at Boeing for three decades, but recently left the company due, in part, to his concerns over issues in the production of the 787 Dreamliner.


In a recent interview with Corporate Crime Reporter, Barnett said he would change flights rather than fly on a 787. "They started pressuring us to not document defects to work outside the procedures, to allow defective material to be installed without being corrected," said Barnett, about the new leadership team that oversaw its production.


"They started bypassing procedures and not maintaining configurement control of airplanes, not maintaining control of non-conforming parts — they just wanted to get the planes pushed out the door and make the cash register ring."
