It's hard not to fall in love with New Zealand. A popular travel destination for solo explorers and adventurous troupes alike, the country knows how to charm its visitors with the right amount of friendliness. Obviously, a bit of planning will make your trip so much easier. We're here to ensure you don't commit any cultural gaffes or logistical mix-ups – just follow these 14 life-saving tips to truly embrace the Kiwi experience.
Compared to many places in the world, New Zealand is incredibly safe. But that doesn't mean the general rules don't apply: always lock up your valuables, avoid walking alone at night and, whenever possible, make sure to learn about which places are best left unexplored.
In case of emergencies, dial 111 to get connected to ambulance services, the fire department or the police. When you call that number, you will be prompted to state which service you are looking for before you're referred to a dispatch operator – and yes, you can choose more than one if required.
Every single town or city will have its own i-Site. As you can probably guess by the name, this is where you'll find maps, brochures, and essential details about the location you're passing through. Intercity buses usually stop right next to these venues, and you can book your next ticket or tour right upon arrival. If you're driving and you need some extra travel information or advice, you shouldn't have too much trouble finding the local branch yourself.
The summer months are perfect for exploring the coastlines and greenery. Winter will greatly serve those who want to get a glimpse of the country's best skiing destinations (Mount Ruapehu in the North; Mount Cook/Aoraki in the South) and breathtaking glaciers. The fall offers a remarkable showcase of colourful foliage, and tends to be quite temperate too.
Maybe avoid the spring months. That's the time when the weather is at its windiest and most unstable. If you do find yourself visiting in the chillier months, make sure to invest in a good windproof jacket – because those arctic gusts can really cut right through you.
Remember, New Zealand is a very popular tourist destination. As such, you can usually expect accommodation to be booked out during the high season. Whether you're visiting Waiheke Island in summer, or chilling out at an eco-resort destination in winter, you need to reserve your room ASAP.
If you're trying to minimize costs, backpacking hostels tend to be a lot cheaper than your standard hotels. Couchsurfing is also an option in some of the main tourist areas, like Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington. Airbnb in New Zealand is a bit of a mixed bag – while there are plenty of rentals available, they can get as expensive as a hotel room.
New Zealand has special agreements with various countries that enable travellers under the age of 30 to grab a Working Holiday Visa. If this applies to you, you'll get help to temporarily settle into the country.
TradeMe is the website where you'll find rentals, jobs and items for sale. Facebook groups are also gaining traction with sales and flatmate searches, but it's nowhere near as reliable. Seek and Backpackers Board are the other main websites to use for your job search. Hospitality will be the industry with the highest demand (and the most competition) but, depending on the season, you might be able to score some fruit-picking work too. Seasonal farm work is also popular among working holiday stayers.
Also, since you're spending an extended amount of time in the country, make the most of the festivals and events around you. Eventfinda will have a list of all kinds of upcoming gigs, and there are plenty of regular happenings worth checking out. For example, Queenstown has its own winter festival, Auckland and Christchurch have Lantern Festivals every Chinese New Year, Tauranga is renowned for its Jazz Festival around Easter, and Wellington's Cuba Street Festival happens every summer too.
Take a look at how the New Zealand Dollar is faring compared to your home currency. Even if yours is the stronger tender, it's likely that prices are going to be much higher than you're used to – that's the downside of being isolated from the rest of the world. Needless to say, whether you're wanting to buy a keepsake souvenir or deciding where to grab a bite to eat, you need to watch those funds.
If you're trying to save money on food, choose your dining experiences sparingly, and opt for making your own meals. Zomato will give you an idea of how much you'll spend at a typical café, bar or restaurant. New Zealand's cheapest supermarket chain is Pak'nSave, though Countdown and New World often do specials too.
Intercity buses travel through every possible place you can imagine. Other options of the same kind include Mana Bus and the Naked Bus. If you're wanting to head to the South Island, a ferry regularly departs from Wellington too.
Essentially, driving isn't something you have to do unless you're wanting to explore some really secluded locations. Or if you're the kind of person who loves a good road trip – which is fair enough. If you are going to be hiring a car, make sure to ask the rental company whether they have any policies or restrictions related to inter-island travels.
Take note of travel times – in a country where winding roads are the norm, your distances will vary greatly. Also, get plenty of rest before departing, and take extra care on those unfamiliar highways.
Also, a quick reminder that Kiwis drive on the left. If you're used to driving on the opposite side, definitely spend some time brushing up on those road rules and regulations. Seriously, it's not uncommon for tourist car crashes to make local headlines – it pays to be extra cautious.
Trails like the Tongariro Crossing are notorious for packing all four seasons into a single day. This will also be true for alpine locations, and native bush. Pack for all types of weather, making sure to bring plenty of water and food, and don't forget to bring a first aid kit, just in case. If you're a novice hiker, opt for a guided tour. It will be safer, and will save the risk of braving those volatile conditions solo.
This is as much a legal matter as it is a safety concern. Cyclists aren't allowed on the motorways, and it's generally not recommended to bike along the busiest roads. Also, remember that wearing a helmet is mandatory and, just like drivers, you need to verse yourself on local traffic rules.
Qualmark is the local authority when it comes to all things tourism. They assess the quality of hotels, experiences, transport rentals, visitor services, and guided tours – awarding them the proper accreditation if they meet the right criteria. Sustainability is taken into account as much as professionalism and ethics. The symbol is usually silver with the quintessential New Zealand fern attached.
Te Ara has a list of dos and don'ts that will help you get started. Key cultural norms to keep in mind include taking your shoes off before entering the Marae, not sitting anywhere you'd place food, and following the right protocols during the Powhiri (welcome) ceremony. Aside for being a sign of cultural sensitivity, getting a few Maori phrases under your belt can also help you get the gist of everything you'll be exposed to.
You don't really tip waiters in New Zealand unless you've received exceptional service. Even then, it's more of a courtesy gesture than an unspoken norm. How much to tip is at your discretion – though 10% tends be a safe enough number. You can also round up your taxi fare, but tipping in any industry outside of hospitality is unheard of.
Lastly, don't try to low-ball on retail prices – you'll fail miserably. New Zealand is not a country of bartering, period. Prices are marked as is and you'll seldom find room for negotiation – unless, you know, you're buying a car or a house, but presumably that's not going to be the case.


Your organization's people strategy should align with your business strategy, and every people-related initiative should result in something that your customers value. Knowing how to find the right people and get them to want to work for you and stay is the secret to competitive advantage. Leverage your human capital and take advantage of these tips to keep your employees engaged within your organization.

Q-Gold Submits Exploration Permit for High-Grade Foley Gold Mine Complex, Ontario
Special Focus September 30, 2020 Jennifer Evans
TORONTO, Sept. 30, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Q-Gold Resources Ltd (TSXV: QGR) ("Q-Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has submitted an exploration permit for its previously announced 2020-2021 exploration program at its wholly-owned Foley Gold Mine complex, near the town of Mine Centre, Ontario.
The permit will allow Q-Gold to drill targets at the past-producing Foley Gold Mine; a high-grade gold-vein system with over 5,900 m of NI 43-101 compliant drilling with results of up to 53.47 g/t Au over 1.5 m and 106.7 g/t Au over 0.23 m. Previous records indicate that 10,500 tons of ore at 14 g/t was mined from stopes at the 100' level with 5,267 oz of gold recovered between 1898 – 1900.
With this exploration program, Q-Gold will conduct an estimated 3,000 m of drilling. This will include a series of 200 m holes to infill the previous drilling at the Foley Gold Mine complex to attempt to form the first compliant resource for the near-surface mineralization. These results will then be used to guide subsequent exploration; a series of 300 m holes testing the mineralization below the -122m level, which is open in all directions.
"Our team is very excited to move forward with drilling on the high-grade Foley Gold Mine property," comments Patrick Lengyel, Exploration Manager of Q-Gold. "The Foley property offers both near-term value accretion through the potential addition of a compliant resource, as well as longer-term value at depth with potential vein continuity in all directions."
Highlights from Previous Exploration Programs
Previous drilling between 2005-2012 established the Foley Gold Mine as a large deposit of gold-bearing veins with an excellent picture of the mine's gold potential from surface to the 122 m level. Highlights from those drill results include the following high-grade gold intercepts:
Foley – Hole Q-05-08 – 53.47 g/t Au – Over 1.5 m
Foley – Hole Q-BV-10-1 – 106.7 g/t Au – Over 0.23 m
Foley – Hole Q-BV-12-06 – 33.38 g/t Au – Over 1.05 m
An overview of the gold-vein system can be seen in Figure 1 below, including the prominent Bonanza and Jumbo veins as well as the historical development work of the Foley shaft and 2.5+ km of drifts on 7 levels.
Figure 1: https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/be2a3cde-f391-43d0-b9c9-dc168cbd52d9
About the Foley Gold Mine
The Foley Gold Mine was first developed in the 1890's, with the sinking of the Foley Shaft to the 400' level. At this time 10,500 tons of ore at 14 g/t was mined from stopes at the 100' level with 5,267 oz of gold recovered 1898 – 1900. Subsequent work between 1923-27 included an estimated $12 M of total development work, including an offset Shaft 400' – 850', winze 400' to 150' and 2.5+ km of drifts on 7 levels. Operations terminated in 1927 due to the onset of the Great Depression.
Since 2005, multiple delineation drill programs (totally over 5,900 m) have helped define the Foley gold-vein system down to the 122 m level. Previous development work has indicated the strong likelihood of vein continuation down to the 260 m level, however no recent drill campaigns were completed. Previous Q-Gold management ceased exploration at the Mine Centre area in 2012 in favor of other prospects held by the Company.
About the Mine Centre Property
Q-Gold holds 10,000+ acres of contiguous mining claims, Crown leases and leasehold patents located within the historic Mine Centre 1890's gold camp, which produced 16,025 ounces of gold from the Foley Gold Mine and the Golden Star Mine.
The property has favourable logistics with immediate access to Highway 11 and sitting 250 km Northwest of Thunder Bay and 65 km Northeast of the U.S. border. It is also proximal to two major gold discoveries 95 km on either side of Mine Centre: Rainy River (New Gold) (4.5 M oz. Au & 11.4 M oz. Ag) & Hammond Reef (Agnico Eagle) (4.5 M oz.).
Other interest areas include the McKenzie Gray Vein System; a gold-silver vein system with 6,594 m of drilling confirming existence of high-grade quartz vein down to 100 m. As well as the the Golden Star, Manhattan, and Fergus Vein Systems; high-potential gold vein prospects offering tremendous optionality at Mine Centre (see Figure 2 below).

Q: build the following periodic source in Simulink Anyone could suggest how to build the following periodic source in Simulink? The left part is sine wave
The period is 0.8 seconds. From 0 to 0.3 sec, it is a half sine function (positive half, period 0.6 sec) with amplitude 100; from 0.3 to 0.8, equal to 0
thanks:)

A: Define the time and data vectors in the MATLAB Workspace such as
>> t = linspace(0,0.8,100)';
>> u = 100*sin(pi/0.3*t);
>> u(t>=0.3) = 0;

then in Simulink use the Repeating Sequence source block with time vector set to be variable t and data vector set to be variable u.

Nine dead as Kabul car bombing targets Afghan lawmaker
KABUL (Reuters) - A car bombing in Kabul targeting an Afghan lawmaker killed at least nine people, officials said.
Lawmaker Khan Mohammad Wardak survived the blast but is among 20 injured including women and children, Afghan Interior Minister Massoud Andarabi said.
It is unclear whether the explosive was planted in a car parked on the lawmaker's route or if a vehicle with the bomb was being driven by a bomber, Andarabi added.
No one has claimed responsibility for the blast.
Afghanistan has seen a sharp rise in violence, particularly bombings, in recent weeks as the Afghan government and Taliban hold talks to find an end to the country's almost 20-year-long war.
Separate bombings were also reported on Sunday in the provinces of Logar, Nangarhar, Helmand and Badakhshan, in which a number of civilians and security forces members were killed and injured.
On Friday, a suspected rickshaw bomb blast killed at least 15 civilians, including 11 children, in central Ghazni province.
The Afghan interior ministry in a statement said that the Taliban had killed 487 civilians and injured 1,049 others by carrying out 35 suicide attacks and 507 blasts in across the country over the past three months.

Over the last few months, the uranium market has experienced a significant shift, with the Ux U3O8 Price coming under upward pressure since bottoming at $18 per pound in December 2016. The recent price rebound is in reaction to suppliers finally cutting significant production volumes in response to lower planned uranium demand from key countries - China, Japan, Germany, South Korea, Taiwan, and the U.S. - since 2011.
Significant primary production cuts did not occur until 2017, led by Cameco, Kazatomprom, and Orano. Outside of a small decline in 2014, last year marked the first meaningful reduction to primary production since 2011, as world production fell by 5% to 155 million pounds U3O8 from 162 million pounds U3O8 in 2016.
Additionally, in May 2018, Kazatomprom said it would further cut Kazakh production and Paladin Energy placed its Langer Heinrich mine on care and maintenance. Cameco followed suit in July 2018, announcing that it would indefinitely suspend McArthur River production, thus eliminating a significant amount of forward production. As more primary production is cut, and suppliers elect to purchase available lower-cost secondary supplies, spot prices are under upward pressure, which is further enhanced by the entry of financial players as buyers, especially with the recent Yellow Cake investment fund purchase of over 8 million pounds U3O8.
Meanwhile, the role that various trade actions in the U.S. and elsewhere could play in the market remains to be seen, but the added uncertainty of issues such as the recent Section 232 investigation may help to further propel uranium prices in the coming months.
Although reactor requirements are relatively flat through 2025, cuts to existing production, depletion of some existing mines, and the drawdown of secondary supplies are expected to contribute to higher prices going forward. Additionally, a number of long-term legacy contracts roll off over the next few years, so utilities may soon be focusing on securing new term contracts.
As reactor requirements grow over the long-term, new production will be needed. In addition to transitioning to a more production-driven market, a large component of production exists in regions of the world with higher geopolitical risk, making the market vulnerable to future disruptions and price volatility.

In Tyrol, it is said that a marriage held on a mountain keeps the newlyweds together forever. We like to believe this, at least as it has never been proved to the contrary.
For your Big Day, we believe we have a responsibility to do everything possible to arrange a unique experience for all the wedding guests.
Together we will plan the sequence of events with you, advise you on the choice of reception menus and drinks, plus the decorations, and be happy to introduce you to our selection of wedding photographers and musicians.
We offer you space for up to 230 guests, with disability access, your own 'wedding gondola' lift, and a sun terrace with spectacular views of 21 three thousand metre mountains.
Arrange a first appointment with us, in order to confirm your ideas and our options.
In the morning or in the afternoon – with the first step into the wedding gondola you will recognize that we are going to make your civil wedding a very special day. With a Piccolo Schlumberger you are going to have a gondola ride up to the Hohe Mut Alm. The ceremony will take place in our exclusive, traditional dining room "Angelus + Hans" or in the light-flooded conservatory. For your meal we offer a big variety from snacks and canapés or coffee and cake but of course we are also happy to be able to serve you a multi-course wedding menu. Another highlight is the descent with the snow groomer, which is possible in winter for up to 40 people.
For bigger wedding societies we do also offer you to have the Hohe Mut Alm in the evening (in summer also during the day if applicable) exclusively for you. For the bridal couple a festively decorated wedding gondola is ready, what brings you with an all-round panorama to the Hohe Mut Alm at an altitude of 2.670 m. Afterwards a romantic, torch lit path leads you directly to the Hohe Mut Alm, where your celebrations start with the lighting of the open fire, and your Big Day continues with live music, an exclusive multi-course menu, or very traditionally, with a fondue.

Lisów – dawna gmina wiejska istniejąca w latach 1945–1954 w woj. śląskim, katowickim i stalinogrodzkim (dzisiejsze woj. śląskie). Siedzibą władz gminy był Lisów.

Gmina zbiorowa Lisów powstała w grudniu 1945 w powiecie lublinieckim w woj. śląskim (śląsko-dąbrowskim). Według stanu z 1 stycznia 1946 gmina składała się z 4 gromad: Lisów, Chwostek, Hadra i Kalina. 6 lipca 1950 zmieniono nazwę woj. śląskiego na katowickie, a 9 marca 1953 kolejno na woj. stalinogrodzkie.

Według stanu z 1 lipca 1952 gmina składała się z 4 gromad: Lisów, Chwostek, Hadra i Kalina. Gmina została zniesiona 29 września 1954 wraz z reformą wprowadzającą gromady w miejsce gmin. Jednostki nie przywrócono 1 stycznia 1973 wraz z kolejną reformą reaktywującą gminy. Obecnie wsie wchodzące w skład dawnej gminy Lisów należą do gminy Herby.

I'm just a real life NOLA girl who loves crawfish, wine, talking on the radio and planning weddings. Traveling keeps me motivated, my family keeps entertained and my friends keep passing me drinks when I need them.
My college years at UL Lafayette were magical with the perfect balance of quality education and underage drinking. I crossed Delta and was selected as Homecoming Queen and of course, my first radio job. So here we are.
The past few years have been full of amazing opportunities. I've presented at the United Nations, hosted at Essence Festival, worked as Co-Producer for Professional Black Girl (season 2, N.O.), moderated a few panels, emceed a few events, done voiceovers for brands literally across the country and started an event planning company. I still love nurturing my first love; radio. You can catch me on Power 102.9 every Sunday from 10a-2p.
My goal is to live my best life and be buried in all sequins when it's over.

Luigi Galleani (Vercelli, 12 d'agost de 1861 - Batesville, 4 de novembre de 1931) va ser un anarquista italià.
Va fundar la revista anarquista en italià Cronaca Sovversiva - Crònica Subversiva-, publicada als Estats Units i va ser abolida el 1919. Va ser autor de diversos llibres, incloent La fine del Anarchismo? -La fi de l'anarquisme?-.

Biografia
Va esdevenir en anarquista quan era un estudiant de dret a la Universitat de Torí, sota l'amenaça de persecució, va fugir a França, on va viure des de 1880 fins a 1900. Expulsat de França per haver participat en una protesta, es va traslladar a Suïssa, on va assistir al geògraf i anarquista francès Elisée Reclus, a qui va ajudar en la redacció de la "Nouvelle Géographie Universale." Per la seva participació, juntament amb estudiants de la Universitat de Ginebra, en una commemoració dels Màrtirs de Haymarket, anarquistes executats a Chicago el 1887, va ser expulsat de Suïssa i va tornar a Itàlia, el 1895 sent-hi arrestat i confinat a Pantelleria d'on va fugir el 1900, trobant refugi a Egipte.

Va viure aquí un any fins que, amenaçat amb l'extradició, es va traslladar a Londres i d'allà va embarcar als Estats Units, on va arribar a l'octubre de 1901, un mes després que l'anarquista Leon Czolgosz –fill d'immigrants polonesos- assassinara el president William McKinley. Es va establir a Paterson, Nova Jersey, una ciutat en què hi havia una colònia d'anarquistes immigrants. Galleani es va convertir en redactor en cap de la revista anarquista «La Questione Sociale», va donar suport a les vagues dels obrers de la seda de Paterson el 1902 i hi va ser ferit per la policia que va disparar durant la vaga. Sota l'amenaça de detenció, va fugir a Canadà, però va tornar il·legalment el 1903 als Estats Units, establint-se en Barre, (Vermont) i fundant, el 6 de juny la revista anarquista «Cronaca Sovversiva»,dirigida durant alguns mesos per l'escultor italià Carlo Abate, que va emigrar aquí a finals del , i que també va dissenyar la capçalera del setmanari.
Una polèmica periodística amb l'escriptor Giacinto Menotti Serrati, socialista i editor de «Il Proletario» de Nova York, va facilitar la revelació de la seva identitat a les autoritats nord-americanes, i la consegüent extradició i judici a Nova Jersey per l'afer de Paterson durant el mes d'abril de 1907, del qual va ser no obstant això absolt - un dels vaguistes de llavors va ser condemnat a mort-.
De tornada a Barre, reprèn les activitats propagandístiques. A Itàlia, l'ex anarquista i ara socialista Francesco Saverio Merlino, en una entrevista publicada el juny de 1907 pel diari La Stampa, de Torí sota el títol La fine dell'anarchismo, va proclamar la propera desaparició de l'anarquisme, que considera una doctrina obsoleta i mancada de validesa teòrica. Galleani el va prendre de referència per respondre en el seu "Crònica subversiva" amb diversos articles - que després es recolliran en un volum titulat "La fi de l'anarquisme?" – en què confirma la validesa i la vitalitat de les teories anarquistes.
El 1912 es va traslladar a Lynn (Massachusetts), continuant amb la publicació de la seva revista en la qual va denunciar el 1914, la guerra, polemitzant amb l'anarquista "Príncep" Kropotkin, favorable a la guerra al costat de la Triple Entença. L'entrada a la guerra dels EUA l'abril de 1917, va portar a llur detenció sota l'acusació de derrotisme, el tancament del diari i el 24 de juny de 1919, l'expulsió del país, estant obligat a abandonar dona i quatre fills, amb l'extradició a Itàlia.
Es va establir a Torí, Galleani va reprendre la publicació de "Crònica subversiva". Amb l'adveniment del feixisme italià, la revista va ser suprimida, el personatge va ser detingut i condemnat a catorze mesos de presó. Un cop alliberat, va col·laborar amb la revista anarquista publicada a Amèrica en italià «L'Adunata dei Refrattari»"La Trobada de refractaris". Detingut de nou el novembre de 1926, va ser confinat primer a Lipari i, a continuació, pels insults a Mussolini, va ser sentenciat a sis mesos de presó, que va complir a la presó a Messina. Alliberat per motius de salut el febrer de 1930. Galleani va ser enviat a la residència forçosa en el petit poble de Caprigliola petit poble a la ciutat de Aulla (província de Massa-Carrara), on va morir l'any següent, als setanta anys d'un atac de cor.
De Galleani i els seus companys hi ha un record per part d'en Francesco Leone, un dels líders dels "Arditi del Popolo" operatiu a Biella, Vercelli i Novara en el període dels atacs dels esquadrons feixistes al Vercelli."
..... Ja veus, hi havia un grup d'anarquistes. Aquí no era en Luigi Galleani, que havia estat als Estats Units per un temps i després va ser també aquí. De fet, crec que aquest grup d'anarquistes es deien el grup de Galleani. Aquest grup era compost d'elements molt ferms, molt ferms. Recordo, per exemple, després de la baralla amb els feixistes, ---sempre em surt cada nit, encara que sempre hi havia baralles- una vegada que també van disparar des d'un carreró: per uns metres de distància no em van agafar. Bé, aquests anarquistes, sense jo saber-ho, després d'aquest acte, es van distribuir a la nit als jardins en la meva pròpia defensa, sense que jo tan sols ho sabera..... "

Sleep Apnea Treatment CentersWe welcome you to click on any of the menu tabs to read more about us and about the basic, preventative, cosmetic and tooth replacement dentistry services we provide, in addition to diagnosing and dealing with sleep apnea.
Apnea Treatment Center is the # 1 site online on how to cure sleep apnea naturally without CPAP - but we would be remiss if we didn't cover CPAP treatment, because it's the most typical treatment for sleep apnea.
Studies have actually concluded that tonsillectomy is a safe and effective surgical treatment for the treatment of sleep apnea. Other medical research study found that obese kids who went through the surgical treatment for OSA ended up being obese extremely rapidly.
Slimming down is exceptionally important in the battle versus sleep apnea. Excess fat in the neck and abdomen location will be lowered, thus taking pressure off the airway and the respiratory muscles. If you're obese, weight reduction for sleep apnea is a must. If you 'd like to find out more about losing weight, make certain to have a look at our guide to sleep apnea diet.
Your septum separates the 2 nostrils of your nose. Septoplasty is the surgery that corrects out a bent septum (the "wall" between your nostrils) so that the circulation of air does not end up being blocked.
Till recently there were couple of remedies to select from. Sleep focuses ended up being factories where patients would get diagnostic testing and would be sent out home with a CPAP device. Patients checking out a dental sleep center would get an oral appliance. And, if you saw a surgeon, your only treatment option would be surgical treatment.
Specific sleep hygiene ideas consist of attempting to get up at the exact same time each early morning and going to sleep at the very same time each night, preventing daytime naps, and other techniques to keep your circadian rhythm in balance.
Research study has shown that by frequently and regularly exercising your mouth, jaw and throat muscles, sleep apnea exercises are a reliable technique that can cure (or considerably reduce) apnea in as low as 3 months.
While CPAP is a bitter tablet to swallow for numerous sleep apneics (due to its lots of adverse effects), it can likewise be a life-saver - if you're comfy sleeping with a mask on your face and you don't experience the disadvantages.

Almost half of the American population over the age of 30 has some level of periodontal (gum) disease. Taking care of your gums can improve the longevity of your teeth, and even prolong your life.
Periodontal (gum) disease is an infection of the gums. Bacterial plaque that has hardened to tartar can only be removed by a dentist/hygienist. The early stage of gum disease is known as gingivitis. The most common characteristic of periodontics is bone loss around your teeth. Your teeth will loosen up and may fall out. Aside from bad breath and bleeding gums, there are very few early warning signals of gum disease. It accelerates silently, often without pain, and before you know it, you are losing your teeth and you don't know why.
Regular dental checkups can detect periodontal disease at even its earliest stages.
Scaling and planing are non-surgical procedures used to treat advanced cases of gingivitis. Left untreated, gingivitis can lead to periodontics (gum disease), which is the leading cause for tooth loss in adults. Scaling is the removal of the dental tartar from the tooth surface while root planing is the process of smoothening the root surfaces and removing the infected tooth structure.

Singapore's Maritime and Port Authority (MPA) and the Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA) have signed a letter of intent (LoI) for e-navigation research and testbedding activities.
Signed during Singapore Maritime Week, the LoI will see MPA join NCA on the SESAME Solution II project, co-operating on research and testbedding activities in Singapore aimed at promoting digitalisation of maritime services.
The SESAME Solution II project seeks to develop an e-navigation solution based on international standards that is interoperable with other e-navigation solutions. The project targets safer navigation and a reduced administrative burden for bridge teams and vessel traffic service centres, by enabling digital sharing of information and automating ship reporting to a single window, co-ordinating arrivals with port services such as pilots, tugs and berthing.
It is partly funded by the Norwegian Research Council's MAROFF programme, and the Singapore research and innovation aspects of the project will be supported by MPA's MINT Fund and the Singapore Maritime Institute's SMI fund. Other partners in the project include the UK's Maritime and Coastguard Agency, the Port of Southampton and the Norwegian Maritime Directorate, alongside industry participants including Kongsberg, Navtor and Sintef Ocean.

I'd like to share my model ( V13.1) thanks to "PackAndGo".
But when my friend open the model (.exe) he has something like this . He cannot open it.
I never had this before. Perhaps there is a bug with the 13.1 version ?
Make sure you use the same bit versions. If you create the exe on a 64 bit system, it will not run on a 32 bit system. Does the exe work on the machine where you created it?
I create the model with the V13.1 and save it (PackAndGo) with the same version.
We all have the 64 bit system.
That's true I can't even open it with my own machine.
I just tested it on a clean install of Windows 7 and it worked without problems?
Is this problem related to a specific model or can you reproduce it with a new simple model?
You're right I've just create a simple model with a source and a line. The pack and go worked perfectly.
How come it doesn't work with the other model. That's weird !
Would be interesting to see what's the problem. Could you open a helpdesk ticket with our support organization or if you don't mind send the model to plantsimulation.studentlicense.plm@siemens.com?
Of course I'll be happy to send my model to the support service in order to have more information about the issue. Actually, I have the professional licence. There is another email adress for the professional users ?
No, there is only plantsimulation.studentlicense.plm@siemens.com. Thanks!
I meet the same problem . do you solve the problem ?

Crimes (Substituted Section 59) Amendment Act 2007
The Crimes (Substituted Section 59) Amendment Act 2007 (formerly the Crimes (Abolition of Force as a Justification for Child Discipline) Amendment Bill) is an amendment to New Zealand's Crimes Act 1961 which removed the legal defence of "reasonable force" for parents prosecuted for assault on their children.
New Zealand Parliament
The purpose of this Act is to amend the principal Act to make better provision for children to live in a safe and secure environment free from violence by abolishing the use of parental force for the purpose of correction.
Royal assent
Commenced
Sue Bradford
Related legislation
Crimes Act 1961
Status: In force
The law was introduced to the New Zealand Parliament as a private members bill by Green Party Member of Parliament Sue Bradford in 2005, after being drawn from the ballot. It drew intense debate, both in Parliament and from the public. The bill was colloquially referred to by several of its opponents and newspapers as the "anti-smacking bill".[1] The bill was passed on its third reading on 16 May 2007 by 113 votes to eight.[2][3] The Governor-General of New Zealand granted the bill Royal Assent on 21 May 2007, and the law came into effect on 21 June 2007.
A citizens-initiated referendum on the issues surrounding the law was held between 30 July and 21 August 2009, asking "Should a smack as part of good parental correction be a criminal offence in New Zealand?" Despite widespread criticism of the question's wording, the referendum was returned with an 87.4 percent "No" vote on a turnout of 56.1 percent.

Legal contextEdit
Prior to the amendment bill, Section 59 read as follows:
59 Domestic discipline
(1) Every parent of a child and, subject to subsection (3), every person in the place of the parent of a child is justified in using force by way of correction towards the child, if the force used is reasonable in the circumstances.
(2) The reasonableness of the force used is a question of fact.
(3) Nothing in subsection (1) justifies the use of force towards a child in contravention of section 139A of the Education Act 1989.
Section 139A of the Education Act 1989 is the enactment criminalising school corporal punishment, so the third clause prohibited teacher-parents from using force on their own children if it could be interpreted as school corporal punishment.
Section 59 now reads as follows:[4]
59 Parental control
(1)	Every parent of a child and every person in the place of a parent of the child is justified in using force if the force used is reasonable in the circumstances and is for the purpose of—
(a)	preventing or minimising harm to the child or another person; or
(b)	preventing the child from engaging or continuing to engage in conduct that amounts to a criminal offence; or
(c)	preventing the child from engaging or continuing to engage in offensive or disruptive behaviour; or
(d)	performing the normal daily tasks that are incidental to good care and parenting.
(2)	Nothing in subsection (1) or in any rule of common law justifies the use of force for the purpose of correction.
(3)	Subsection (2) prevails over subsection (1).
(4)	To avoid doubt, it is affirmed that the Police have the discretion not to prosecute complaints against a parent of a child or person in the place of a parent of a child in relation to an offence involving the use of force against a child, where the offence is considered to be so inconsequential that there is no public interest in proceeding with a prosecution.
A consequential amendment was also made to Section 139A of the Education Act 1989 by removing the exemption of parents (who are not school staff) administering corporal punishment to their children at school.
Adults assaulting children no longer have the legal defence of "reasonable force" but "force ... may ... be for the purposes of restraint ... or, by way of example, to ensure compliance", according to the police practice guide.[5]
Social contextEdit
Prior to the repeal of section 59 of the Crimes Act, there were cases of parents who had disciplined their children using a riding crop in one case, and a rubber hose in another, who were not convicted because of the legal justification of "reasonable force".[6] When the law was changed in 2007, some proponents of the change said it would stop cases of abuse from slipping through the gaps and reduce the infant death rate.[7]
Political contextEdit
When the Private Members Bill was first proposed by Sue Bradford in 2005, it was known as the Crimes (Abolition of Force as a Justification for Child Discipline) Amendment Bill. It was subsequently renamed to the Crimes (Substituted Section 59) Amendment Bill at the Select Committee stage.[8] The Bill was later backed by the Labour Party and for a time it 'faced a rocky passage through parliament with the main opposition party, National, giving its members a conscience vote on the issue'.[9] A new section, Clause 4, was added as part of a political agreement with the Leader of the Opposition, John Key, and the amendment passed by 113 votes to 8 with both major parties voting for the bill.
Debate and aftermathEdit
Bradford considers that smacking was illegal even before the Act was passed.[10] When an illegal activity is reported to the Police or to Child Youth and Family (CYF), they are required to investigate the reported abuse. Under subsection 4, The Police have the option of not prosecuting the parents 'where the offence is considered to be so inconsequential that there is no public interest in proceeding with a prosecution.'
Many of the groups who originally supported the change to the Act also said that a law change was not a fully adequate response to protect children from abuse. The New Zealand Anglican Bishops said 'It is essential that changes to section 59 go hand in hand with increased access to high quality public educational programmes, which encourage non-violent discipline and child rearing.'[11] The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) also put pressure on the New Zealand Government for education and promotion of changing attitudes and parenting practice.[12]
In the 2008 Budget the then Labour Government said it was 'providing $446.5 million over the next four years to improve our partnership with community-based social services to help deliver essential services to support children and families, including parenting and family violence programmes, and mentoring at-risk youth.'[13] This included the "Are you OK?" anti-family-violence campaign.[14]
The law change has been described by supporters as aimed at making 'Aotearoa New Zealand […] a place where children are secure, confident, understand limits and boundaries and behave well – without physical punishment' and to 'protect children from assault'.[15]
The first conviction under the new law occurred on 22 November 2007.[16] In the first five years of the law (June 2007 – June 2012) there were eight prosecutions for smacking.[17][18]
Reactions and opinionsEdit
A broad selection of organisations – including child welfare groups, churches, women's groups and businesses – publicly endorsed the bill and made submissions in support of it.[19]
Gordon Copeland resigned from the United Future party over the Bill since he did not agree with the party leader Peter Dunne's support for it.[20] However, Copeland was not re-elected to Parliament at the New Zealand general election, 2008, although his political vehicle, The Kiwi Party, made that issue paramount in its election campaign.[21]
Most public opposition to the Bill came from conservative Christian groups, who believed that it made even "light smacking" of children illegal.[22] Multipartisan passage of the bill occurred after an additional clause was added stating that the bill did not remove police discretion on whether to prosecute in "inconsequential" cases when it was not in the public interest to do so.[23]
During debate on the Bill a poster on the CYFSWatch website threatened Bradford. Google removed the website from its Blogger service soon after.[24]
A survey carried out between May and June 2008 showed that more people supported the Act than those who did not.[25] The survey, carried out by UMR Research for the Office of the Children's Commissioner, polled 750 people, of whom 91% were aware of the law change and 72% professed to know "a lot" or "a fair amount" about the legislation.
Results of the questions were:
89% of respondents agreed that children are entitled to the same protection from assault as adults. 4% disagreed and 5% were neutral.
43% supported the law regarding physical punishment of children, 28% opposed and 26% were neutral.
58% agreed there are certain circumstances when parents may physically punish children. 20% disagreed with the hypothesis and 20% were neutral.
30% agreed that physical punishment should be part of child discipline. 37% disagreed and 32% were unsure.
Referendum proposalsEdit
Main article: New Zealand corporal punishment referendum, 2009
Two petitions for citizens initiated referendums related to the bill were launched in February 2007. The wording for the two referendums was:
"Should a smack as part of good parental correction be a criminal offence in New Zealand?"
"Should the Government give urgent priority to understanding and addressing the wider causes of family breakdown, family violence and child abuse in New Zealand?"[26]
In February 2008, the bill having been passed in the meantime, supporters of the referenda claimed that they had collected enough signatures.[27] If 300,000 valid signatures were collected by 1 March 2008 for each of the referendum petitions, they hoped the referenda would be held on the same date as the 2008 general election.[28]
The first petition was supported by Family First New Zealand, the ACT Party[29] and The Kiwi Party.[27]
The first petition was presented to the Clerk of the House of Representatives on 29 February 2008,[30] who vetted the signatures along with the Chief Electoral Officer.[30] Of 280,275 signatures required to force a referendum, only 269,500 were confirmed—a shortfall of 10,775. A number of signatures were excluded because they were illegible, had incorrect date of birth information, or appeared more than once.[31]
The petitioners were required to collect and confirm the requisite number of signatures within two months,[31] to be presented to the Speaker of the House of Representatives. This occurred on 23 June 2008, when Kiwi Party leader Larry Baldock handed over a petition which claimed to have over 390,000 signatures.[32] The Office of the Clerk of the House had two months to verify the signatures.
On 22 August 2008 the Clerk certified that there were enough signatures, and the Government had one month to name a date for a referendum. Under the Citizens Initiated Referenda Act 1993, Cabinet could delay a vote on the issue for up to a year. The referendum was held from 31 July to 21 August 2009.
The referendum was non-binding (as specified by New Zealand's Citizens Initiated Referenda Act 1993), and thus does not compel the government to follow its result. Prime Minister John Key and Leader of the Opposition Phil Goff have said the results of the referendum will not commit them to repealing the law.[33]
On 25 August 2009, the Chief Electoral Officer released the results of the referendum. According to the results, 11.98% of valid votes were Yes votes, and 87.4% of votes were No votes. Voter turnout was 56.09%, and 0.1% of votes were invalid.[34]
The second petition, organised by Larry Baldock, was handed to Parliament on 14 May 2008.[35]
2017 electionEdit
New Zealand First and Winston Peters said they would take a policy to repeal the law to the 2017 election. However, during the post-election negotiations with the Labour Party, NZ First agreed to drop its demand for a referendum on this law.[36][37]

Hansen Ranch near Waterton Park inks land conservation agreement
By Patrick Siedlecki
The Hansen Ranch. Photo credit to the Nature Conservancy of Canada
A large property in southwest Alberta is being preserved thanks to the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC).
The Hansen Ranch consists of 365 hectares near Waterton Lakes National Park. For three generations now, the family has been living and working on the Hansen Ranch.
Carys Richards with the Nature Conservancy says this is not only good from an ecological perspective, but it also ensures the Hansen family legacy will continue. "A really great thing about this property is that a conservation agreement with NCC is in place on it. This means some of the development rights have been voluntarily restricted and this make sure it can continue operating as a working cattle ranch while maintaining the natural landscape."
The Hansen Ranch contains several important habitats which extend beyond the boundaries of the already protected Waterton Park.
The NCC says for landowner Shane Hansen, protecting this ranch is important.
This region provides core habitat and connectivity for populations of wide-ranging mammals including gray wolf, wolverine, Canada lynx and fisher. It also supports habitat for grizzly bears.
Richards notes for decades, the NCC has worked with private landowners to create a natural buffer for the wild species that live in this area.

London Trading Standards' campaign against illegal skin lightening products has seen further success this month, with two more prosecutions.
Two businesses have been successfully prosecuted by Bromley and Southwark Council after prohibited ingredients were found in products they were selling. In Southwark, eBay trader Munir Ahmad appeared at Camberwell Green Magistrates and pleaded guilty to offences relating to skin lighteners that were found to contain mercury as well as a host of labelling offences relating to cosmetic products found in his Leicester store.
A lay bench passed down a significant 40 week custodial sentence which was suspended for 24 months. In addition to this, Ahmad will have to complete 100 hours unpaid work and pay full prosecution costs of £7,185.
The court heard that Southwark's Trading Standards team had conducted covert test purchases of skin lightener creams in July and December 2017 and March 2018 as part of a National Trading Standards funded project that Southwark led on behalf of London Trading Standards.
Two of these items they bought, 'Arena Gold Fairness Cream for Men' and 'Golden Pearl Beauty Cream', were found to contain the highly toxic metal Mercury, and all failed with regard to safety labelling requirements. The products originated from Pakistan and should not have been available in the UK or EU.
The Golden Pearl Cream was found to be listed incorrectly in order to try and get around a block that ebay had placed on selling the items following requests by Southwark to block a number of products as part of the project.
The test purchases were followed up by an inspection of the trader's premises carried out by a team from Southwark in partnership with Leicester City Council and a safety expert from Barking & Dagenham Trading Standards. It was found that Ahmad had stopped dealing in skin lighteners but still had over 1,500 eye liner and lipstick products which had been imported from Pakistan without any safety checks. These were seized due to safety labelling breaches.
In Bromley, Ghulam Mustafa, Director of Woolwich Sabina Hair and Cosmetics Ltd, pleaded guilty on behalf of the company to two offences relating to selling skin lighteners containing hydroquinone and 17 labelling offences.
Fines of £9,120 and a victim surcharge of £170, were imposed as well as an order to pay the council's costs of £4,063.
The offences came to light in February and March 2018 following visits by Bromley trading standards officers working on the London wide trading standards project to tackling the distribution and sale of illegal skin lighteners. During the visits a quantity of cosmetics were seized as it was believed they contained the banned substance, or were incorrectly labelled in breach of the regulations.

Governor Susana Martinez: 99% of New Mexico Public Schools Accessing High-Speed Internet
Santa Fe, NM – Governor Susana Martinez stated that over 255,000 more students can access high-speed internet than in 2015, with bandwidth speeds nearly four times faster than when her Broadband for Education initiative launched.
Through a longstanding partnership with the Office of the Governor, the Department of Information Technology Office of Broadband & Geospatial Initiatives, the Public Education Department, the Public School Capital Outlay Council's Broadband Deficiencies Correction Program at the Public School Facilities Authority, and the national nonprofit EducationSuperHighway, the state of New Mexico has leveraged over $32 million in committed federal funding to build fiber infrastructure at public schools around the state.
At the start of the Governor's Broadband for Education initiative, more than 75 percent of public schools did not have access to internet at speeds of 100 kilobits per second, per student (the Federal Communications Commission's recommended minimum speed). New Mexico was among the first states to commit to a higher target speed scalable to 1 megabit per second, per student, ideal for streaming and real-time distance learning.
Additionally, districts' median cost of bandwidth has plummeted by 66 percent since 2015, due to better pricing transparency that encourages competition among regional internet service providers.
"Every child can learn, no matter who they are or where they live," Governor Martinez said of the initiative. "In today's world, internet access across our state is a big part of keeping that promise of an equal opportunity to learn—you need access to reliable, high-speed internet for priceless learning opportunities today and in the future."
With state-supported construction projects remaining at only three public schools, New Mexico is now looking to complete projects at tribal libraries like the Middle Rio Grande Pueblo Tribal Consortium, the first group of tribal libraries to get fiber, and partnering with the Department of Cultural Affairs (State Library) to connect public libraries to 21st Century resources.

My father, Dr. Luis F. Samson, Sr., together with three other pioneering men: Atty. Liberato Ll. Reyna, Sr., Dean Basilio Fernandez, and Dean Servillano Romasanta, founded the University of Luzon as the Luzon Colleges of Commerce and Business Administration in 1948, which was later renamed as the Luzon Colleges in the early 1950's as an exponent of Philippine nationalism and culture in this part of the country.
Together, they labored tenaciously with an abiding faith and incurable optimism for an educational system that would produce the noblest in the Filipino. They ventured on an educational odyssey believing in the truism that education is deeply rooted in democratic philosophy and that the democratic way of life requires an educated citizenry capable of actively participating in the affairs of the state. The basic foundation of true democracy in this country can only be ensured or safeguarded by raising the general level of intelligence of our people.
The University faces the vicissitudes of the future with undiminished hope and optimism as it enters its 74th fruitful year of committed, dedicated, and devoted service in the education of our people. We remain undaunted by the challenges that lie ahead, for we believe in the capabilities and potential of the Filipino people.
As the president of this revered academic seat of higher learning, I reaffirm my commitment to the noble cause of true education. May I therefore extend a glad hand to our youth all over the region and beyond to come and enroll with us—to slake their thirst for knowledge at UL and be the best that they can be!
DR. MACARTHUR M. SAMSON, SR.
