Aerobiology is the study of biological particles and organisms found in air. Examples of such particles that are very widely studied include pollen and airborne mold spores as well as larger organisms, even insects and perhaps birds.
But aerobiologists generally focus on particles whose identification, environmental effects, movement and distribution over the earth outdoors as well as inside buildings requires a combination of expertise in microscopy, biology, microbiology, and perhaps chemistry or microchemistry. Where building and indoor air quality issues are involved, additional expertise in building science is absolutely needed.

#7135 closed Bug (wontfix)
Databrowse doesn't handle model inheritance
Reported by: | admackin | Owned by: | nobody |
Component: | contrib.databrowse | Version: | 1.0 |
Severity: | Normal | Keywords: | |
Cc: | Triage Stage: | Accepted | |
Has patch: | yes | Needs documentation: | no |
Needs tests: | yes | Patch needs improvement: | no |
Easy pickings: | no | UI/UX: | no |
Databrowse currently doesn't support model inheritance. This is related to not supporting one-to-one fields, for which there is already a patch over at #6913. This patch enacts the same changes (in a slightly different way) as the other ticket but also checks to see whether accessing the one-to-one field (eg from a subclass) throws a DoesNotExist exception (in which case the instance isn't linked to a corresponding subclass of that type) and doesn't list it as a related field in that case.

- Needs documentation unset
- Needs tests unset
- Patch needs improvement unset
I should note that at least in my dev setup, this still doesn't produce exactly the correct behaviour (it produces links to subclass instances which don't actually exist, and then these of course produce errors), but this is due to a bug in model inheritance which I will post a new ticket on shortly when I've worked out the exact circumstances under which it occurs.
comment:2 Changed 7 years ago by telenieko
- Triage Stage changed from Unreviewed to Accepted
#6913 was closed in favour if this one as the patch here provides more functionality.
The next time, *please* don't open a new ticket, attach your patch to the other ticket and add a comment.
Not sure if this needs tests tought. Could you add it?
comment:3 Changed 6 years ago by admackin
- Version changed from SVN to 1.0
Ok, just confirmed the problem still exists in 1.0, and the patch still works.
After some fiddling I managed to get a fairly minimal test case which I've attached. The doctest in the models.py shows the desired behaviour - running manage.py test on the app will fail as it throws a DoesNotExist error.
comment:4 Changed 5 years ago by mtarbit
This is still an issue, and the fix still works. Any particular reason why the ticket has gone quiet?
comment:5 Changed 4 years ago by slewis
Seconding the above question. OneToOneFields break databrowse. Why not accept the patch?

comment:8 Changed 4 years ago by oz
databrowse has been broken for 3 years and no-one seems to mind. OneToOne fields don't work, nor do nullalbe ForeignKeys (ticket #15792).
Both have patches that solve the problem, yet are still open for a long long time. It's a shame since it renders databrowse (which is potentially awesome) useless for many projects.
comment:9 Changed 3 years ago by ptone
- Resolution set to wontfix
- Status changed from new to closed

Databrowse is now deprecated, see #16907

Documentation |
Package: comm
Demodulate using MSK method and the Viterbi algorithm
The MSKDemodulator object demodulates a signal that was modulated using the minimum shift keying method. The input is a baseband representation of the modulated signal. The initial phase offset property sets the initial phase of the modulated waveform.
To demodulate a signal that was modulated using minimum shift keying:
Define and set up your MSK demodulator object. See Construction.
Call step to demodulate the signal according to the properties of comm.MSKDemodulator. The behavior of step is specific to each object in the toolbox.
H = comm.MSKDemodulator creates a demodulator System object™, H. This object demodulates the input minimum shift keying (MSK) modulated data using the Viterbi algorithm.
H = comm.MSKDemodulator(Name,Value) creates an MSK demodulator object, H, with each specified property set to the specified value. You can specify additional name-value pair arguments in any order as (Name1,Value1,...,NameN,ValueN).
BitOutput |
Output data as bits Specify whether the output consists of groups of bits or integer values. The default is false. When you set this property to false, the step method outputs a column vector with a length equal to N/SamplesPerSymbol. N represents the length of the input signal, which is the number of input baseband modulated symbols. The elements of the output vector are -1 or 1. When you set the BitOutput property to true, the step method outputs a binary column vector with a length equal to N/SamplesPerSymbol. The vector elements are bit values of 0 or 1. |
InitialPhaseOffset |
Initial phase offset Specify the initial phase offset of the input modulated waveform in radians as a real, numeric scalar value. The default is 0. |
SamplesPerSymbol |
Number of samples per input symbol Specify the expected number of samples per input symbol as a positive, integer scalar value. The default is 8. |
TracebackDepth |
Traceback depth for Viterbi algorithm Specify the number of trellis branches that the Viterbi algorithm uses to construct each traceback path as a positive, integer scalar value. The default is 16. The value of this property is also the output delay This value indicates number of zero symbols that precede the first meaningful demodulated symbol in the output. |
OutputDataType |
Data type of output Specify the output data type as one of int8 | int16 | int32 | double, when you set the BitOutput property to false. The default is double. When you set the BitOutput property to true, specify the output data type as one of logical | double. |
clone | Create MSK demodulator object with same property values |
getNumInputs | Number of expected inputs to step method |
getNumOutputs | Number of outputs from step method |
isLocked | Locked status for input attributes and nontunable properties |
release | Allow property value and input characteristics changes |
reset | Reset states of the MSK demodulator object |
step | Demodulate using MSK method and the Viterbi algorithm |
This object implements the algorithm, inputs, and outputs described on the MSK Demodulator Baseband block reference page. The object properties correspond to the block parameters.

Two recent studies suggest that the latest anti-science campaign is following its forerunners--the propaganda campaigns attempting to refute science that tobacco causes cancer, that CFC's caused the hole in the ozone layer, and so on—into oblivion. Global warming denial seems to have climbed to a peak in 2010, and global warming acceptance is now climbing. This bodes well for rational public policy.

Nice quote Harry, it will come in handy next time you spout of about Global Warming. Posted 71 days ago. KunectdotsI know this IS off the subject of Climate Change (another wealth redistribution and people control program at best) but, remember when Obama committed to the proposal that, "This is not a Red America and a Blue America. This is not a White America and a Black America. This is the United States of America." Well, he's been contradicting his own rhetoric, just a tad, ever since he uttered that observation. H-ell, he's not even much of a "Community Organizer", unless we're only speaking of 13% of the American community. Posted 71 days ago.

Or Sharpton, Jackson,etc? And the whining of racial "slights" claimed by the obamas and Holder? To me it is a pleasure to help someone in a grocery store. To Queen obama, it is an insult. The obamas had the opportunity to show blacks that we are all Americans. Not hyphenated victims. Instead, obama, Holder, and other prominent activists have stirred up racial problems that will be hard to heal. Posted 72 days ago.

Handy card to help people
SPrior from CA, October 13, 2014
I like this product because it allows people to keep track of their important health numbers. They can track their numbers through the years and keep an eye out for patterns, or health problems. They can also carry it conveniently in their wallet to bring it along to all of their doctor's appointments. The only problem I had, was with the poor customer service provided by positive promotion. My rep did not pay attention to the logo I wanted on the back of the card, and they were initially misprinted. They were able to fix the problem and re-print them correctly, and I received them in time for my event, where I handed them out.
Know you numbers
Darcie McHugh, RN from NC, August 05, 2014

"One of Crete's own prophets has said it: 'Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons.' He has surely told the truth!" (Titus 1:12)
Four years ago, my then 14-year-old daughter Rachel was watching me put together some power-point slides for class and asked if she could make one. I told her to make me something for Titus, since I didn't have much of anything creative for that often neglected of Pauline epistles. The result was a slide with several bullet-point entries like, "I like Titus." "Titus is short," "You should read it, too." She insisted I include it in my class presentation which I did every year since. Students always laughed.
Last summer she asked to revise the slide. She took out the bullet points and substituted one large all-capitals, stylized, red-letter slogan: "Don't be a Cretan!" The more I thought about it, the more it struck me that such a summary could well hold its own in competition for the "big idea" of the letter. Titus is pastoring one or more churches on the island of Crete in the Mediterranean sea, beset by problems related to a Judaizing heresy, perhaps with other local syncretistic elements mixed in. The Christians are quite young, many probably from rough and rustic backgrounds, so godly and mature leaders are hard to come by. In this context it is not surprising that the first two main topics Paul addresses after a rich, theologically detailed greeting (Titus 1:1-4) are the criteria for choosing elders/overseers (vv. Titus 1:5-9) and rebuking the false teachers (vv. Titus 1:10-16). Into this last section, he inserts the verse quoted above on the evils of being a Cretan.
Already in pre-Christian Greek philosophy the "liar's paradox" was well-known. If I truthfully declare that Andreas always lies, and then Andreas pipes up by saying, "I am lying," is he telling the truth or lying? If he is telling the truth, then his statement that he is lying is true, which means he has to be lying rather than telling the truth. If Andreas' statement is false, which it should be if he always lies, then it is false that he is lying which means he is telling the truth, which is what he can't be doing. So there is no way to answer the question as to whether Andreas is lying or telling the truth! Everybody still with me? :) (This is why I don't teach philosophy for a living!)
So now substitute Paul for me and the Cretans for Andreas. (Since Andreas is a Greek name and one I picked at random for the purposes of illustration, it's easy to make him be a Cretan). The reason Cretans got the reputation that they did was because they boasted that they housed the tomb of Zeus. But as head of the Olympic pantheon of Greek gods, Zeus could not die. So the Cretans' claim must be a lie. The Cretan philosopher Epimenides then coined the slogan that Paul quotes and endorses here.
Most commentators have simply assumed that Paul, like Epimenides, was employing hyperbole. He knows it is logically impossible for all of them to lie all the time. But as a broad generalization, he was able to use this well-known quotation to reinforce for Titus the seriousness of sorting out the problems in the Cretan churches. And the Cretans can't get too mad at Paul because all he is doing is citing their own writer back to them. Besides Epimenides' slogan had become somewhat humorous in the Hellenistic world; it wasn't necessarily even meant to cause offense, so much as poke fun at the silly claim about Zeus. Perhaps it wasn't too much worse, culturally speaking, than someone who might remind lifelong Cubs fans like me at the start of a new baseball season, "Cubs are always losers, always letting their fans down, lovable and laughable though they might be." Especially if a Cubs fan was being quoted, and since there is a core truth behind the quotation, it's hard to get too upset.
But English scholar Anthony Thiselton suggests that Paul is actually trying to point out how self-defeating it is to live in ways that do not match one's ideology or, in this case, religious commitments. This would certainly make the passage much more widely relevant and applicable, not only to situations that resemble Crete's but to all of us.
We've just finished celebrating Good Friday and Easter Sunday, powerful annual reminders of the need for cruciform, selfless, servant lifestyles buttressed by the spiritual power already ours now to live above our circumstances and one day to triumph over death with resurrection bodies for life everlasting, wonderful beyond imagination. Are we demonstrating to the world around us that these spiritual truths are indeed realities in our lives, or are we creating our own liars' paradoxes, leading some to think, "Christians are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons"? Telling the truth, doing good, avoiding boorishness and violence, working hard and not overindulging our appetites for anything we are tempted to covet are crucial priorities for one who would bear Jesus' name before today's mockers and skeptics.

Get AccessAbstract
To clarify which types of cells produce interferon-γ-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) and whether IP-10 is associated with the development of ulcerative colitis (UC), we investigated IP-10 production in UC patients.
Serum IP-10 levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 29 patients with active and 21 with inactive UC and in 20 controls. The production of IP-10 by granulocytes and monocytes adsorbed to G-1 beads was examined. In 21 active UC patients treated with granulocyte and monocyte/macrophage adsorptive apheresis (GMA), serum IP-10 levels were measured before and after treatment. IP-10-positive cells in UC mucosa were also examined immunohistochemically using tissues obtained by surgical resection and colonoscopic biopsies.
Serum IP-10 levels in active UC patients were significantly higher than those in inactive patients, although even in the latter the levels were increased compared with those in controls. IP-10 production by granulocytes and monocytes in active UC patients was significantly higher than that in controls. Furthermore, the number of IP-10-positive cells was elevated in the colonic mucosa of patients with active UC, and one of the main subpopulations of IP-10-positive cells was granulocytes. Serum IP-10 levels decreased following GMA treatment in responders, but not in nonresponders. Interestingly, serum IP-10 levels before GMA were higher in responders than in nonresponders. In parallel with the serum levels, IP-10-positive cells also decreased following GMA treatment.
Serum IP-10 levels reflected UC disease activity, and the source of IP-10 was granulocytes and monocytes. Furthermore, serum IP-10 levels may be a marker for the responsiveness of patients to GMA treatment.

The Viril View: On the KC Royals
Last updated 11/17/14
by John Viril—
Today the Royals tinkered with 1B Eric Hosmer in right field. While many might dismiss this as an insignificant spring training experiment, I see it as a clue to the club's thinking heading into the regular season. In short, the brain trust is more concerned than they are letting on about Jeff Francoeur repeating last season's dismal performance.
Throughout his career, Francoeur has shown a strong platoon split. The right handed hitting Francoeur mashes lefties and is barely replacement level vs. right handers (.702 OPS vs RHP compared to .820 vs. LHP). Even if Francoeur struggles once again, he is still likely to be useful against left-handed pitching. The left-handed hitting Hosmer would be a viable platoon candidate for Francoeur, if the first baseman can handle RF.
Presumably, manager Ned Yost would then play DH Billy Butler at first base and use a left-handed bench player at DH. Current left-handed bench bats include reserve outfielder Jarrod Dyson, utility infi...

A thought just occured to me -- to get around any potental legal issue, what if GWS released a one-of-a-kind airplane, which had one fuse. If you purchased TWO of these GWS aircraft, you could put them together as a P-38.

Red 61 is not that far off. If you think that mating 2 planes is akin to making a cow jump over the moon, then I have done it. I mated 2 GWS P-51's together to make a very nice flying P82/F82. In fact if you look closely at the profile of the GWS P40 you will notice very strong similarities to the P38 booms. If you cut off the razorback, add a couple of strategically placed air scoops and use some good old fashinoed modeling skills, a fair modeler could build a very nice stand-off scale P38. Granted it is not the ARF that everyone has become so comfortable with, but it can be done. Besides, isn't that what modeling is all about? Showing up at the flying field on a beautiful morning, greeting all of your other flying buddies, looking at whatever new creation someone has in-evitably brought? I get a sense satisfaction and pride when I show up with a new plane that everyone recognizes, but no-one has, because I have used some enginuity and built it either from scratch or by mating 2 kits. Here is one for you to try if you feel like it....mate 2 ME 109's together and make a Mosquito.....or turn a ZERO into a Texan. The whole point of this long-winded post is to break away from the "I'm waiting for the ARF to come out", and let your imagination be your guide, look around and see what can be built from what is available, use some of those modeling skills and create something that no-one else at the club has. It's a hobby for criminy's sake....have fun with it! |

mlh1961 -- while I greatly appreciate the support, I must remind you this is a GWS Twin Fighter thread; not a "I'm going to build my own P-38 from scratch" thread.
I like the idea of turning two P-40's into a P-38 -- I will have to give that a closer look. I've already turned a GWS Zero into a Texan (that's just a paint job). I've also spent over 100 hours building an Air Devil P-38 -- that kit was supposed to be ARF as well. My Air Devil P-38 only lasted 4 flights (I kept losing a prop adapter, resulting in a thrust imbalance, which ultimately led to an unrepairable crash) -- I no longer have the desire to spend so many hours building... If I did, I would order $60 worth of parts from www.nastytoesaviation.com, and build a P-38 from scratch. I'm all about flying -- with or without the few flying buddies I have. I flew for over a year without any flying buddies -- it's not about showing off, it's about the unity of me and my airplane. Two years ago, GWS promised us an ARF P-38 -- we're encouraging them to deliver. |

Defeating the Beast
When fighting the Beast (the last boss), try to hit him. Then, run on the other side before he recuperates to avoid getting hit with his flame sword. When fighting the skeletons that Beast spits out, try starting at one side of the "arena" and run to the other side while doing the claw attack (where Wolverine's claw starts high up and swoops downward) before running back. If you start taking a lot of damage, execute the high jump and attach yourself to the ceiling until gaining more energy.

information collected locally in suriname
This section of the report describes the information collected locally in Suriname by the International Consultant (Forest Economist) and counterparts from LBB. Very little information about costs and prices in the forestry sector is currently collected on a regular basis in Suriname. Some information is collected on export prices, but in view of the incentive for timber exporters to understate prices to avoid paying ad valorem export levies, this information must be treated with caution. All cost and price information is presented for the year 1998 (unless otherwise stated) and prices quoted in US$ have been converted to Suriname Guilders (Sf) at a rate of Sf 650 = US$ 1.
In addition to cost and price data, other types of quantitative information and some qualitative information about the general state of the forest industry in Suriname was also collected during the study. This information is presented at the end of this section.
Local cost information for this study was collected by the LBB counterparts before the International Consultant (Forest Economist) arrived in Suriname. Additional cost information was collected during the assignment and as part of the discussions with sawmillers, independent loggers, local communities, forest concessionaires, industry representatives, and local agents of machinery manufacturers (see Appendix 2 for a complete record of these discussions). Cost information collected has been broken down into the following six categories: labour costs; consumable costs; capital costs; contracting costs; levies, taxes and fees; and other miscellaneous costs.
Labour costs in Suriname
The labour cost information shown in Table 3 was collected from one of the large foreign-controlled forest companies operating in Suriname. The only other labour cost information collected was gathered during a discussion with the exploitation manager for Bruynzeel, who stated that his harvesting workers were generally paid about Sf 100,000/month (considerably less than the figures presented in Table 3). It is known that Bruynzeel probably pay below average salaries (and consequently, probably have low labour productivity rates). However, it is also possible that the foreign-controlled company may have been overstating salaries to avoid criticism.
It was not possible to validate this information against any other sources; therefore the figures presented in Table 3 may be a little on the high side. However, in the absence of any better data, this information was used in the production cost analysis.

The cost of consumable items purchased in Suriname
For the purposes of this study, consumables were defined as all raw materials, regularly replaced spare parts and minor pieces of equipment used in forest management and harvesting, including: fuel; oils and greases; filters; undercarriage and tyres; winch cables and chokers; batteries; files; tools; clothing; paints; measuring tapes; machetes; camping equipment and other miscellaneous inventory equipment. Information about the cost of such items was collected from local and international equipment suppliers (presented later) and during discussions with various logging operators.
Table 4 shows the current (1998) prices of fuel, oil and greases used by forest machinery. The government fixes the price of fuel in Suriname, so this cost item is known with certainty. The costs of oil and greases were the same for all local suppliers in Paramaribo. These figures were checked during the interviews with forest managers, who confirmed that they were about right.

Information about spare parts was slightly more difficult to collect. Unfortunately, the local supplier of spare parts for most of the forest machinery operating in Suriname could not (or would not) supply replacement part price information without a machine serial number. However, some of the logging managers interviewed were able to provide this information for the current year or for last year. Data taken from their records is shown in Table 5.

Table 6 shows the current (1998) list prices of various minor items used in forest inventory and harvesting, such as: replacement parts for chainsaws; small tools; and safety equipment. This information was collected from a number of local equipment suppliers.
In addition to the items listed in Table 6 the forest inventory consultant also collected more information about forest inventory and camping equipment prices (see: Cox, 1998). This was also used to calculate consumable costs, but has not been presented here in order to save space.
It is interesting to note that many pieces of forest inventory and safety equipment are not generally available in Suriname and have to be imported. The list prices of such items from international suppliers were also collected as part of this study and are presented later.

The cost of capital equipment purchased in Suriname
The cost of major pieces of capital equipment is shown in Table 7. These figures were obtained from Surmac (the local Caterpillar dealer) and other machinery dealers. LBB also collected this information in 1994, and these figures are given in Table 7 for comparison. Three points are worth noting. Firstly, the costs presented here are quotations for new pieces of equipment. Most forestry equipment in Suriname is very old, so the depreciated value of equipment currently being used in Suriname is probably much less than this. Secondly, the cost of new machinery in Suriname appears to be roughly twice the cost of the same sort of equipment in the USA (the main source of logging equipment used in Suriname). Finally, it should be noted that the cost of a logging truck collected for this analysis is the cost of a flatbed truck, rather than a proper truck designed to carry logs. Most forestry operators in Suriname use a variety of old converted flatbed and light freight trucks to transport their roundwood. The price of these vehicles is only slightly less than the price of a proper logging truck, but they have a much lower carrying capacity (10 m3 - 20 m3, rather than 30 m3 - 40 m3).

The only other major capital cost to be considered is the cost of building a logging camp. Currently, only four forest operations in Suriname have permanent camps in the forest and information about the cost of building such camps was not available. As forest exploitation in Suriname moves into more remote areas, it may be necessary for companies to start to build permanent camps to house employees, carry-out repairs to machinery and perform some administrative and planning functions. Therefore, estimates of these costs should be included in any appraisal of forestry development in the interior of the country.
The average age of machinery in Suriname
The age of the machinery currently working in the forest sector in Suriname is an important variable, because it determines the capital value of equipment being used and it can have a major impact on machine availability and repair costs. This is particularly true in the case of Suriname, where much of the machinery currently being used in the forest is very old.
With the exception of chainsaws and pick-up trucks, all of the small and medium-scale loggers and sawmillers said that their equipment was at least 10 years old and several said it was 20 years old. Only Bruynzeel appeared to have some equipment purchased within the last five years. Even the large foreign-controlled logging operations, which have imported a lot of their equipment, have imported mostly second-hand equipment.
Based on a general impression of the forest sites visited and interviews with sawmillers and forest managers, the average ages of machinery presented in Table 8 are the author's best estimates of the ages of various pieces of forest machinery currently working in the forestry sector in Suriname.

Contracting costs in Suriname
As an alternative to owning their own machinery, many forest managers use contractors to perform some of their roundwood production operations. During discussions with forest managers, it was discovered that contractors are frequently used to transport roundwood by road and by barge. Smaller forest logging operations also use contractors to extract and load timber. Table 9 shows the range of contracting costs mentioned during discussions with forest managers.

Source: Discussions with forest managers
The felling cost of Sf 700/m3 - Sf 750/m3 (labour only) and Sf 2,000/m3 (tree feller with their own chainsaw) was mentioned by several managers and matched figures collected elsewhere by LBB. Two small logging operations quoted a contract skidding cost of Sf 8,000/m3. However, these operations were fairly close to each other, so they may have been using the same contractor. It is not known whether this is representative of contract skidding costs throughout Suriname, but discussions with LBB and others in the industry suggested that it was probably about right.
Loading and transport costs varied widely, depending on location, the distance transported and the type of timber being loaded and transported. Near Paramaribo, road transport and loading costs appeared to be cheaper, possibly because there is more competition to provide these services. Figures quoted were around Sf 1,500/m3 for loading and Sf 50/m3/km - Sf 100/m3/km for road transport. However, the highest unloading cost mentioned in discussions was for unloading at the quayside in Paramaribo (Sf 4,000/m3). Loading and transport costs in areas distant to Paramaribo were about twice the cost of the same operations in areas close to Paramaribo. In-forest loading costs were also slightly more than the cost of unloading, because of the additional cost of transporting the loader to the forest. Water transport costs varied widely, for no apparent reason.
The other interesting point raised in discussions was that contractors charge higher rates and want paying in US$ if they sense that the timber they are handling is for the export market (e.g. export-grade logs and hewn squares). Thus, for example, a crane owner in Paramaribo will charge Sf 4,000/m3 for unloading at a sawmill in Paramaribo, but charge US$ 10/m3 for unloading at the harbour. This is a good example of rent seeking on the part of the crane owner and suggests that competition to provide such services must be very limited such that they can act in this way.
Levies, taxes and other fees paid in Suriname
There are currently two sets of specific taxes and levies charged on the production and export of forest products in Suriname. The first is a complex array of concession fees, roundwood and minor forest product royalties and miscellaneous charges levied on production, transportation and grading of roundwood and forest products. These are shown in Table 10. The second is a rather simpler set of ad valorem (i.e. percentage-based) export levies charged on the value of roundwood and forest products exported from Suriname. To avoid under-reporting of export values, minimum values for each product are also specified and these, along with the export tariffs, are shown in Table 11.

The Minister of Natural Resources and Minister of Finance have joint responsibility for setting these levies. All levies are paid to LBB and transferred directly to the Ministry of Finance.
There is a provision in the 1992 Forest Management Act (Government of Suriname, 1992, or see Cullinan (1996) for an annotated English translation of the Act), that the forest levies should be revised at least every five years. However, many of these levies have not changed by much for many years. Indeed, during the last set of revisions in 1996, the export levy (and the schedule of minimum export prices) was reduced twice and the Exploration Licence Royalty was reduced. Only the grading fee was increased. There is currently (November 1998) a proposal to significantly increase these levies, but this has not yet been entered into the official gazette. Past attempts to raise the levies have failed to materialise (see, for example, Ministry of Natural Resources, 1998) and, given the recent history with setting forest levies, it remains to be seen whether these increases will be materialise.
