In some episodes of the later "Care Bear Family" episodes "Cheer Bear" featured her new hairstyle but not her new, yellow jacket.
This combination is my personal favorite, I love that hairstyle, but without the jacket she looks much more cuddly and fluffy.
And the old show had the most cuddly and soft look, anyway. ☺️

We were very privileged to have Marjory Smith, author of 'From Goldfield to Fields of Green', deliver a wonderful donation of materials from her book to us. This consisted of the above map and key, along with many other maps of the earlier Orepuki town site, followed by Hirstfield, then Garfield and also maps of the surrounding areas of the district as well. If you are researching the area, be sure to call in to our Heritage Hub to see these, or contact us.
UPCOMING HISTORY:
We would also like to note here, that for our 3rd birthday of the Heritage Hub in October 2026, we are undertaking to create a display of early Orepuki - all 3 townships, and their varied histories, so if you can help with this by donating material, information, photos or other ephemera items, or most importantly if you can donate some time to voluntarily helping us put this display together, we would be very grateful. We are expecting this to be a permanent fixture and we will need people who can research, identify people and places there.We would also like to thank and acknowledge Marjory A Smith, author of 'From Goldfield to Fields of Green', the Orepuki Story, which she kindly donated to our history library. The items shown here are also in that.
Hopefully this entry will be added to as more information comes to hand. If you or anyone you know has any more information or photos to share or accounts of the various Orepuki townships during the years, please do share this with us in the comments section. You can do this by making a comment in the space provided under the image page. Or you can make contact with us as per the archive front page.
Note: these entries are compiled with information provided by donors with the records, from locally reported news, from national and occasionally international reports in publications, from personal records made by the people themselves - such as their electoral enrollments, wills, war records etc., also from government and council held records such as births, deaths and marriages or cemetery information, and lastly, from community memories, such as those passed on by friends, family and contemporaries. It is not always possible to verify memories from others, so please let us know if you believe we have any incorrect information. If you believe that any public or personal record information quoted is wrong, if you can provide proof of any alternative fact to us in a document showing evidence of the correct details, that would be very helpful to us.

Greenland thoughts from Antarctica..
I’m in Antarctica and yet I have been getting contact from journalists because Greenland is all over the press at the moment for all the wrong reasons. It’s reasonable I think to worry about what the various deranged threats towards Greenland will mean for us all also outside of Greenland. But I also think about (and yes, worry) about the friends I’ve made in Greenland over the years. Let’s hope common sense prevails and we can step back from the brink, and concentrate on the really long term problems that we are still rapidly storing up for ourselves.
Greenland is also on my mind, not just because of geopolitics, but also because the Copernicus Climate service has just put out their annual global climate highlights* for 2025 report with some disturbing results from Antarctica.
A few months ago we had a paper published called the Greenlandification of Antarctica, in which we argue that the changes in the Antarctic cryosphere increasingly resemble those we have previously observed in Greenland and the Arctic. To see the future of Antarctica, look at Greenland.
It’s been a busy time preparing for fieldwork and I didn’t manage to write anything here about it at the time, but this few eye-opening figure rather supports some of our arguments.
In this graphic, the 2025 temperature over the Antarctic region was 1.06°C higher than the average between 1991 and 2020 (a temperature anomaly). This is actually higher than any other region except the Arctic, where the temperature anomaly was reported to be 1.37°C above the 30 year average (bear in mind also that between 1991 and 2020, the temperature was also much increasing, so we’re not comparing with a pre-industrial climate here). Polar amplification was predicted long ago and as those first experiments found, it also is seen more in the Arctic than the Antarctic – but these results are a first hint of the amplification that is perhaps appearing now and may come to stay in the Antarctic.
In our paper we show the figure below (many thanks to illustrator Jagoba Malumbres-Olarta for the fine work), which shows five different cryosphere properties that are changing: 1) shrinking sea ice, 2) glacier velocities that show a seasonal cycle (mostly detected on the peninsula so far, though there are indications that Totten glacier for example has some kind of seasonal cycle, possibly modulated by sea ice), 3) total ice sheet mass loss, 4) ice shelf area and 5) annual mean surface temperature. In virtually all, the changes look very similar between Greenland and Antarctica, but with the crucial difference that the speed of changes is so far faster and more advanced in Greenland.
From Mottram et al., 2025: The Greenlandification of Antarctica. Original caption:
a, Commonalities include decline in sea ice extent from 1980 to 20232, with notable step-like changes in both poles. b, Seasonal glacier velocities are shown for two representative marine terminating glaciers, Kangilernata Sermia in Greenland13 and Hotine Glacier on the AP9, both now displaying similar seasonal dynamics. c, Both ice sheets show an accelerating total mass loss measured by GRACE satellites8. d, Multi-sensor records of ice shelf area loss in Antarctica11 show a steeper decline than Greenland7 as Arctic ice shelves were largely lost in the pre-satellite era. e, Satellite records of annual mean ice sheet surface (skin) temperature for 1982 to 2021 from radiation data in the CLARA-A2.1 record processed by OSISAF2 over both ice sheets. Earth observation data allows us to generalize over the vast size and spatially varying trends of the ice sheets, where there is generally poor coverage of in situ data. Individual weather stations indicate warming trends in air temperatures over both ice sheets of ~0.61 °C per decade at the South Pole and ~1.7 °C per decade at Greenland coastal stations. Illustration by Jagoba Malumbres-OlarteThe latter surface temperature plot is not the same as the Copernicus 2m air temperature which is based on the ERA5 reanalysis (so a blending of computer model with observations from satellites, weather stations, balloons, ships, planes etc). In our paper we wanted to focus on the contribution that satellite data has brought as we simply have so few direct in situ observations, so we used skin or surface temperature which is measured from satellites. It’s a somewhat theoretical construct, imagine a very thin surface (hence skin) layer, where incoming and outgoing energy are summed up to give a temperature. This is calculated over both ice sheets and sea surface by our colleagues in the satellite group at DMI and this is the dataset we used here. Their results which stretch back to the 1980s show a slow upward trend in Antarctica and a steeper change in Greenland, the record stopped in 2021 in our paper but it actually shows an upward increase since and that’s also borne out by the Copernicus results. In climate and weather models we in fact first calculate the skin temperature and then back interpolate to 2m temperature, so the two are very closely related.
To check that the satellite skin temperature record was accurate, I also looked at some of the longer in situ records, the South pole station for example has a long record and shows a small increasing trend over the last 30 years or so (which also may be attributable to natural causes, it is hard to pick out the global warming trend). Analysis of the record also shows that it is largely due to decreasing cold extremes rather than necessarily higher warm extremes. Again, a pattern we also observe in the Arctic.
Shallow snow cores drilled near Wasa, the clear layers are refrozen surface melt that has percolated into the snow below the surface. I was genuinely not expecting to see these, and it’s not always captured in the satellite record either, so we clearly have work to do to explain some of these findings.The analogy is not exact. As a continent, Antarctica is much further south than Greenland is to the north and it is much more insulated from warming by the circumpolar ocean than the Greenland ice sheet, sticking out in the middle of the Atlantic is. In a very real sense then, geography is destiny. Surface melt, which is also not nearly as common here in Antarctica mostly refreezes in the snowpack, whereas in the lower parts of Greenland it generally runs off and contributes directly to sea level rise. That has not yet become a major process in Antarctica, it’s still colder here and there is less surface melt for now, although from our own observations in the field, much more than I’d expected. Surface melt is definitely something we need to keep an eye on and some of our observations show how tricky that is, especially given disagreements between satellite sensors on this point .
But these are all details, the point is that Antarctica is also part of the global climate system and the same processes we’ve been observing for more than three decades in Greenland are now also starting to become apparent here too.
In one other respect Antarctica is becoming more similar to Greenland – it is becoming more contested. The Treaty that has governed Antarctica is vulnerable and subject to the same weakening of the global order that is now playing out in the North.
Let’s hope that geopolitics can settle down soon so that we can start to tackle the more serious and longer term crises coming down the line.
Lifted with thanks from Mackay Cartoons*I’m not sure “highlights” is quite the right word either – maybe “lowlights” would be better, but then it also starts to sound like a report on hairstyles…

Oscar Scoring
Following up on my Oscar Picks, I got a total of 20/43 points based on the results. I was completely wrong about acting and writing but did get a couple of the big ones. Not bad for not knowing much about any of these! For a couple of them my second idea ended up winning… should have double down on my Anora buzz thinking.
Soon it will be time to fill out my March Madness brackets with no plans to watch any of these games. 😂

CW: When virtual world engines are only built for male avatars; CW: long (over 10,000 characters, link to eye contact and mild female nudity)
There's a lot of talk about male-defaultism these days. You know what else is totally male-default? Avatars in 3-D virtual worlds. At least if they can be modified in-world instead of being monoliths like from places like Ready Player Me.
Almost everytime an avatar system is being designed for virtual worlds, it's designed with only adult males in mind. Eventually, someone will ask the question, "Well, and how do we make female avatars?" It'll probably be those who design either the avatar parts if the avatars are sufficiently modular or the complete avatars if they're monolithic. But this won't occur before the avatar system is finalised to the point at which it can't be substantially reworked anymore.
If you're lucky, female avatars get a somewhat slimmer waist. Or a pair of boobs, maybe only one that's being hinted at by a single bulge. If you're very lucky, they get both. If you're unlucky, there's only one hard-coded body shape, and all they get is more feminine clothing for the upper body, maybe even painted onto the one body shape that's available. In fact, you'll probably have as many "clothing items" for women as for men, all of which were designed by guys. All of whom are software developers with next to no sense of fashion.
Oh, and you get female-looking hairstyles, none of which are even shoulder-long. Well, except maybe for one ponytail that stands off so far that it has no chance of clipping into the body because the head motion is too limited.
Seriously, though: Even if your virtual world system is only planned for purely professional purposes, i.e. business, industrial, governmental, organisational otherwise, and extra care is taken that it will never be used by anyone in their spare time, even then this won't nearly be sufficient. If you plan to hold formal (not necessarily as in business formal) events, it'll be even less sufficient. If it's supposed to be an all-purpose virtual world system, a "metaverse for everybody" that people will use in their spare time, it'll suck completely.
I dare say that I've been using 3-D virtual worlds for longer than most of those who design them from the ground up nowadays. I've been in OpenSim for five and a half years now. I've built both male and female avatars. So I know first-hand what it's like.
OpenSim's default avatar, which also used to be the default avatar in Second Life long long ago, is female. She is named Ruth. But she's based on an avatar system that's mostly geared towards male avatars, and her hairstyle is more of a mullet because this avatar system can't even grow hair over the ears, because guys don't normally wear their hair over their ears. She isn't even really pretty. She can easily be switched to her male pendant, Roth: A bit less shapely, no boobs, therefore abs and pecs, the hair is shorter, and the face changes a little.
Now, if you want to see what kinds of avatars people actually make in Second Life nowadays, just look around (content warnings: eye contact, mild female nudity) PrimFeed, the Flickr alternative created exclusively for Second Life users. These pictures were actually rendered in-world and not by an AI. They show actual Second Life avatars, often even daily-driver avatars, in actual Second Life environments.
Short hair? Long pants? Almost only on male avatars, if at all. And today's male avatars have even more chiseled abs than 22 years ago. And chiseled faces and chiseled everything.
Female avatars, on the other hand, are shapely like you wouldn't believe from a virtual world unless you've been there yourself. Big butts. Big boobs and actual boobs. Dresses. Skirts. Bikinis. Lingerie. High heels, almost never under 15cm or 6 inches, sometimes even higher with platform soles. And: long hair. And with "long hair" I mean lush long locks, not just longer than male hair.
By the way: Nothing of what you see in the images was supplied by Linden Lab. Everything that the avatars and the landscapes consist of was made by users. It has basically always been the users who drove Linden Lab to refining Second Life's avatar system, often by working around its limitations and repurposing features.
Sooner or later, users with female avatars will demand three things for them. Male-centric avatar systems will be unfit to deliver either.Long hair
The challenge with long hair is to not only make it look natural and, especially, keep it from clipping into the body. Extra challenge: If the clothes aren't simply painted on, keep it from clipping into the clothes when the head moves.
Of course, this point is moot if avatars can't move their heads. Which Second Life and OpenSim avatars can.Skirts and dresses
This point is moot if avatars don't have legs. You know, like in Meta Horizon or (formerly Mozilla) Hubs.
But if they do, then even in a strictly business environment, I wouldn't too firmly count on all women being content with putting trousers on their avatars. They will wish for pencil skirts.
Skirts and dresses will pose a whole bunch of challenges. None of them is to keep people from upskirting, especially if the camera can move independently from the avatar which it should be able to do in good virtual worlds. In fact, depending on how a skirt or dress is shaped, preventing upskirting can be quite trivial. So that isn't one of the challenges.
No, the first challenge is to rig skirts in such a way that the legs don't clip through them, no matter how the legs move. If you manage to get that done with one kind of skirt, try again with another nine kinds of skirts. Including a pencil skirt.
Think you got that pat down? Well, here's the next challenge: Rig them in such a way that they look good when the avatar is sitting. This is rather trivial with pencil skirts. Now try it with a circle skirt in such a way that the skirt doesn't stand off as if it's made of wood. Extra challenge: Try it with a 1950s poodle skirt. These are just about as unthinkable in virtual worlds as 50s-style corrugated stainless steel diners. Trust me, someone will build the latter.
If you think it's smart to simply hide the legs from the skirt hem upwards so they won't clip, this will come back to bite you once the avatar sits down.
By the way: Even Second Life has never managed the former, and neither has OpenSim. And the latter is hit-and-miss with more miss than hit, and it works best with the old "painted-on" system skirt.
The cherry on top would be if skirts still flowed halfway naturally, and if skirts with a looser fit swayed with the motion of the avatar. This requires not only at least a basic physics model, but also a collision system.High heels
Again, this point is moot if avatars don't have legs. But if avatars don't have legs, they'll be ridiculed. Yes, they will.
It doesn't matter how high the heels have to be. They don't have to be 15cm spike heels. Or 30cm spike heels with 15cm platforms.
So you want a virtual business environment first and foremost. Then your female users will wish for footwear that isn't men's leather shoes. And not ballet flats or Mary Janes either. Something with at least slightly raised heels. Just like they'll wish for pencil skirts; see above.
Okay, so you may manage to put high-heeled shoes on your avatar. Now, the first challenge will be to get the avatar's feet into the shoes. You know, the same feet that are firmly rigged into a flat position because that's all you need for male avatars (until someone comes and wants to cosplay Dr Frank N. Furter).
So you've reworked large parts of your avatar system to allow for other foot positions than flat? Good luck. Now adjust the avatar's Z position accordingly because the feet and the shoes are clipping into the floor. Ready to pump another few thousand man-hours into something else that you didn't take into consideration when designing your avatar system?
In Second Life and OpenSim, the former could only be solved in a satisfactory way by attaching different feet. Or, in the case of mesh bodies from Second Life, by giving it a whole bunch of feet in various positions and using a HUD to make the appropriate pair visible and the other ones invisible. The latter requires manual adjustment or some long forgotten trickery from almost two decades ago.Finally...
I've read about four worlds and world systems that have tackled at least the former two points, namely by implementing a basic skeleton-based physics system that's a big upgrade in comparison to flexi prims in Second Life and OpenSim. Its big advantage is a basic collision model that makes hair and skirts (and anything else that needs it that you want to attach to your avatar) nicely flowy with little to no risk of clipping.
The thing is: Sansar was launched by Linden Lab as a kind of Second Life successor. That was at a point at which Second Life already had user-made, highly detailed fitted mesh bodies from various vendors.
High Fidelity was launched by Philip Rosedale. Also known as Philip Linden. The guy who invented Second Life in the first place and who led it for many years.
Well, and Vircadia is a High Fidelity fork, and Overte is a Vircadia fork.
This goes to show how virtual worlds are developed by people who have years upon years of experience with already existing virtual worlds and their users and creations.
And it goes to show that even reading Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash (which, by the way, introduced the word "metaverse" as early as 1991) doesn't give you the knowledge that personal experience with and in virtual worlds does. For Philip Rosedale has read it, and it has inspired him to make Second Life in the first place. But it has not inspired him to add certain elements for building female avatars right off the bat.
Unfortunately, however, even being prepared for that won't necessarily save a virtual world: Both Sansar and High Fidelity are no more. But that wasn't due to their avatar systems.
