- We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in Angola because of the risk of civil unrest and criminal violence. You should pay close attention to your personal security at all times. Monitor the media and other sources about possible new security risks.
- Travellers should be aware that there is a risk of kidnapping in and around Luanda. Victims, usually foreigners, are often abducted from their vehicles by criminals seeking a ransom. See Safety and security.
- We advise you to reconsider your need to travel to the provinces of Cabinda, Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul due to the high risk of civil unrest and violence. There have been reports of violent incidents against foreigners in these areas. See Safety and security.
- You should avoid large public gatherings and street demonstrations as they may turn violent.
- Landmines are a risk throughout Angola outside major cities.
- Australia has a Consulate in Angola, headed by an Honorary Consul, which provides limited consular assistance. The Australian High Commission in South Africa provides full consular assistance to Australians in Angola.
- See Travel Smart for general advice for all travellers.
- Be a smart traveller. Before heading overseas:
- organise comprehensive travel insurance and check what circumstances and activities are not covered by your policy
- we recommend that you register your travel and contact details, so we can contact you in an emergency
- subscribe to this travel advice to receive free email updates each time it's reissued.
- follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
Entry and exit
You will need to obtain an appropriate visa before travelling to Angola. Visa on arrival is not available at airports.
It can take at least ten weeks to renew your work or other visa while in Angola, during which time the Angolan immigration authorities will retain your passport and you will not be able to travel. You should plan your travel and visa renewals carefully to avoid complications.
As visa and other entry and exit conditions (such as currency, customs and quarantine regulations) can change at short notice, we recommend that you contact the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Angola for the most up-to-date information when considering travel to Angola. Penalties for visa offences include fines, detention and deportation.
There is an ongoing outbreak of yellow fever in Angola, concentrated in the capital Luanda. Angola is listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as endemic for yellow fever. Yellow fever is a serious and potentially fatal disease preventable by vaccination. A valid Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate is required for entry into Angola.
As the quarantine requirements for yellow fever vaccination differ between countries, we recommend that you check the yellow fever entry requirements for all countries you intend to enter or transit by contacting their foreign missions in Australia. Some airlines may require passengers to present a valid yellow fever vaccination certificate before being allowed to board flights out of the country. For more information about yellow fever, including Australian re-entry requirements, see the Department of Health website.
Transiting South Africa: Australians travelling to or from Angola through South Africa (including transiting) should read the Entry and exit section of our travel advice for South Africa. South Africa has introduced specific documentation requirements for all children travelling to South Africa. You should also note South Africa's Yellow Fever Vaccination Certificate requirements and be aware that it does not accept provisional travel documents (i.e. one page travel documents).
Travellers are only allowed to take up to USD10,000 out of Angola. Amounts in excess of this should be declared on entry into Angola. Different regulations apply to residents. For up to date information, contact your nearest Embassy or Consulate of Angola.
Make sure your passport has at least six months' validity from your planned date of return to Australia.
Safety and security
The crime rate is high throughout Angola. Criminal activity is often accompanied by violence. Petty crime (such as pickpocketing and snatch and grab robberies), armed banditry and carjackings are common. Attacks can occur at any time, however there is a much higher risk of violent criminal activity at night.
Travellers should be aware that there is a risk of kidnapping in and around Luanda. Victims, usually foreigners, are often abducted from their vehicles by criminals seeking a ransom. You should be alert for attempts to stop your vehicle and use varied routes and schedules of travel.
Crime in the capital, Luanda, is a regular occurrence. Armed criminals target vehicles which are stationary, or in slow moving traffic, for smash and grab robberies. When driving, you should ensure that doors are locked, windows are up and that valuables are kept out of sight.
Avoid crowded places such as markets. You should also avoid walking between bars and restaurants on the Ilha (an island near Luanda), and avoid walking in Luanda at night.
Due to the high prevalence of HIV/AIDS, victims of violent crime, especially rape, are strongly encouraged to seek immediate medical assistance.
Visitors should not expect the same level of service from Angolan police as they would in Australia.
Civil unrest/political tension
We advise you to exercise a high degree of caution in Angola due to the risk of civil unrest and criminal violence.
You should avoid large public gatherings and street demonstrations as they may turn violent.
Cabinda, Lunda Norte, Lunda Sul Provinces: We advise you to reconsider your need to travel to the provinces of Cabinda, Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul due to the high risk of civil unrest and violence. There have been reports of violent incidents against foreigners.
Militant groups claiming independence are active in the Cabinda province. Clashes with security forces can occur. Armed gangs have attacked foreigners outside Cabinda city, and have warned that attacks involving robbery, rape and murder will continue.
Lunda Norte and Lunda Sul provinces are diamond mining areas with the potential for civil unrest and crime. There have been reports of violent incidents against foreigners in these provinces.
The Government of Angola restricts the entry of foreigners into these provinces. You require official permission and documentation to travel there. Failure to meet these requirements may result in detention or restrictions on your movements.
Terrorism is a threat throughout the world. See our Terrorist Threat Worldwide bulletin.
Money and valuables
Your passport is a valuable document that is attractive to criminals who may try to use your identity to commit crimes. It should always be kept in a safe place. You are required by Australian law to report a lost or stolen passport online or contact the nearest Australian Embassy, High Commission or Consulate as soon as possible.
Local travel
A large part of the population is internally displaced and infrastructure remains heavily damaged following Angola's 27-year civil war. Landmines and unexploded ordnance are a danger for travellers outside major cities, in the interior of the country and in areas bordering Zambia.
If you travel outside Luanda, we strongly recommend that you do so in the company of persons or organisations experienced in local conditions, as the situation can be difficult and dangerous. You should keep to main roads because of the danger of landmines.
You should carry your identity documents at all times. If photocopies are to be used in place of the original, the copies will need to be notarised by an Angolan Notary Public to have validity. Police and military checkpoints are common. Failure to produce valid identification documents can result in a large fine.
Foreigners travelling into the interior of Angola need an internal travel document. This is normally provided by the Angolan partner sponsoring the foreign group which invited the foreigner to Angola. Permission is not required to travel to the main towns in Lunda Norte (Lucapa and Dundo) and Lunda Sul (Saurimo). However, a permit is required for travel to mining areas and can be obtained from the main police stations in Lucapa, Dundo or Saurimo. Travel is permitted to all other provinces.
Public transport systems are overcrowded, poorly maintained and unsafe.
Road accidents are common due to poorly maintained roads and dangerous driving practices. Street vendors, scooters and pedestrians on the roads pose additional safety risks. Fuel shortages may occur. For further advice, see our road travel page.
Australians are advised to respect local wildlife laws and to maintain a safe and legal distance when observing wildlife, including marine animals and birds. You should only use reputable and professional tour operators and closely follow park regulations and wardens' advice.
Swimming in lakes and rivers can be unsafe because of the possibility of attacks by wildlife and the risk of catching water-borne diseases.
Airline safety
Airports in regional centres in Angola have very limited facilities and runways are generally in poor condition, especially in the wet season (October to May). Delays occur frequently.
The Australian Government does not provide information on the safety of individual commercial airlines or flight paths. See instead the Aviation Safety Network website for information on aviation safety in Angola.
Please also refer to our general air travel page for information on aviation safety and security.
You are subject to the local laws of Angola, including ones that appear harsh by Australian standards. If you're arrested or jailed, the Australian Government will do what it can to help you under our Consular Services Charter. But we can't get you out of trouble or out of jail. Research laws before travelling, especially for an extended stay.
Penalties for possession, trafficking and use of drugs, including 'soft drugs', include mandatory prison sentences. See our Drugs page.
There are severe penalties for the illegal possession of uncut diamonds.
Consensual homosexual activity between adults is not illegal in Angola, although it is not considered socially acceptable. See our LGBTI travellers page.
The use of cameras, binoculars, global positioning systems or maps near government buildings or infrastructure of any description is prohibited and may lead to detention or questioning by local police.
Some Australian criminal laws, such as those relating to money laundering, bribery of foreign public officials, terrorism, forced marriage, female genital mutilation, child pornography, and child sex tourism, apply to Australians overseas. Australians who commit these offences while overseas may be prosecuted in Australia.
If you are detained or arrested, the authorities in Angola may not automatically notify the Australian Government. As soon as possible, you should request police or prison officials to notify the Australian High Commission in Pretoria, South Africa.
Information for dual nationals
Although Angola recognises dual nationality, Australian citizens holding Angolan citizenship will be regarded solely as Angolan citizens by the Angolan authorities. This may limit the ability of Australian officials to provide consular services to Australians who have retained their Angolan citizenship, particularly if they are detained or arrested. We recommend you travel on your Australian passport at all times.
Australian/Angolan dual nationals may be subject to compulsory military/civil service obligations when in Angola. You should seek advice from the nearest Embassy or Consulate of Angola well in advance of travel.
Our Dual nationals page provides further information.
We strongly recommend that you take out comprehensive travel insurance that will cover any overseas medical costs, including medical evacuation, before you depart. Confirm that your insurance covers you for the whole time you'll be away and check what circumstances and activities are not included in your policy. Remember, regardless of how healthy and fit you are, if you can't afford travel insurance, you can't afford to travel. The Australian Government will not pay for a traveller's medical expenses overseas or medical evacuation costs.
It is important to consider your physical and mental health before travelling overseas. We encourage you to consider having vaccinations before you travel. At least eight weeks before you depart, make an appointment with your doctor or travel clinic for a basic health check-up, and to discuss your travel plans and any implications for your health, particularly if you have an existing medical condition. The World Health Organization (WHO) provides information for travellers and our health page also provides useful information for travellers on staying healthy.
Outbreaks of poliomyelitis have occurred in Angola. All travellers to polio infected countries should ensure they have completed a primary course of polio vaccinations and a booster dose prior to travel. If you are unsure of your polio vaccination status, check with your doctor or travel clinic, at least eight weeks before you depart.
The standard of medical facilities in Angola is very poor. Access to adequate medical facilities is limited. There are several clinics run by expatriate organisations in Luanda but otherwise health care is extremely basic. There is a shortage of trained specialists, safe blood supplies and pharmaceuticals.
Medical treatment is expensive, and clinics will normally expect cash payment before commencing treatment. In the event of a serious illness or accident, medical evacuation to South Africa or another destination with appropriate facilities would be necessary. Medical evacuation costs could be considerable.
The rate of HIV/AIDS infection in Angola is high. You should exercise appropriate precautions if engaging in activities that expose you to risk of infection.
Water-borne, food-borne, parasitic and other infectious diseases (including dengue fever, typhoid, cholera, leishmaniasis, hepatitis, tuberculosis, hemorrhagic fever and rabies) are prevalent with more serious outbreaks occurring from time to time. We advise you to boil all drinking water or drink bottled water, avoid ice cubes and raw and undercooked food. Do not swim in fresh water to avoid exposure to certain water-borne diseases such as bilharzia (schistosomiasis). Seek medical advice if you have a fever or are suffering from diarrhoea.
Mosquito-borne diseases
There is currently an outbreak of Yellow Fever in Angola, concentrated in the capital Luanda. Angola is listed by the World Health Organization (WHO) as endemic for yellow fever. Yellow fever is a potentially fatal viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes, which is preventable by vaccination. We strongly recommend that you are vaccinated against yellow fever before travelling to Angola. See Entry and exit for important information about vaccination certificate requirements. For more information about yellow fever, see the Department of Health website.
Malaria is a high risk in all parts of Angola throughout the year. Other insect-borne diseases (including filariasis and African sleeping sickness) also occur.
Consider taking medication against malaria and take measures to avoid insect bites, including using insect repellent at all times, wearing long loose-fitting, light coloured clothing and ensuring your accommodation is mosquito proof.
Where to get help
Depending on the nature of your enquiry, your best option may be to first contact your family, friends, airline, travel agent, tour operator, employer or travel insurance provider. Your travel insurer should have a 24 hour emergency number.
For criminal issues, contact the local police on 113. You should also obtain a police report when reporting a crime. In the event of fire phone 115 and for ambulance services call 112.
The Consular Services Charter explains what the Australian Government can and can't do to assist Australians overseas.
Australia has a Consulate in Angola, headed by an Honorary Consul. The Consulate provides limited consular assistance by appointment only. Contact details are:

My question is what can I do to fix this? Do I need to replace the whole wall? And is there I anything I should do to minimize this getting any worse?
Bowed Plaster
My question is what can I do to fix this? Do I need to replace the whole wall? And is there I anything I should do to minimize this getting any worse?
Did you folks have a Home Inspection??? If so, what did he/she say about it?
The cause of the bow is not going to be easy to determine. You said that the home is a 'new home' but I don't think you mean you bought a home that was just built, no/yes?
If the plaster is from the original 1930's (meaning that the home is not a 'new home' per my definition), the cause could simply be a build-up of plaster. As to why that is, I can't say. It could be that something is 'pushing' the wall out. It could be the 'character' of the home.
From the limited information you've provided, you may need a Pro to take a look at the situation. W/O knowing the cause, it's hard to answer your questions on how to fix it, on whether or not the wall needs to be 'replaced', or what to do to minimize the problem.
NOW, if the wall is simply drywall, maybe it needs more screws. Or maybe the insulation has 'fallen' and over the years has pushed the wall out. Again, someone needs to evaluate the situation before a solution can be offered. And that is something none of 'us' can do from here. ONCE you find out the cause, come back and we'll 'talk' about a solution.
My best to ya and hope this helps.
Jay J -Moderator
The walls are definitely plaster, and the contractor who inspected the home just said it was normal for plaster to do this. "Part of the character" like you said.
I will talk to a pro and see what they say. Thanks for the help.

ELLENSBURG, Wash. (AP) — More than 50 people turned out for a public meeting of the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission to discuss a proposed plan for managing wolves.
Many of those in attendance were sheep and cattle ranchers in Wranglers and cowboy hats. Livestock owners fear the plan allows for too many wolves.
The plan calls for 15 successful breeding pairs for three consecutive years to delist them.
Gray wolves were eliminated as a breeding species in Washington by the 1930s. Statewide, they are listed as an endangered species under state law. They are endangered under federal law in the western two-thirds of the state.
Wolves have never been reintroduced to Washington, but they have crossed over from Idaho and British Columbia. Today, there are five confirmed resident wolf packs here.

Huckabee To Keynote Fundraiser For Personhood Mississippi
Mike Huckabee is scheduled to be the featured speaker at a fundraiser for Personhood Mississippi, the group running the campaign to pass Amendment 26, which would criminalize abortion with no exceptions by giving rights to zygotes. In addition to banning abortion, the personhood amendment would also make certain forms of birth control, in-vitro fertilization and the treatment of problem pregnancies a crime. The American Family Association, which is based in Mississippi, committed $100,000 to fund the effort to pass Amendment 26 in November.
By supporting Amendment 26, Huckabee places himself even to the right of the National Right to Life Committee, which refused to back Colorado's failed personhood amendment because they thought it was counter-productive and likely to be struck down as unconstitutional.
Moreover, the founder and director of Personhood Mississippi is far-right extremist Les Riley. Riley used to be a featured blogger for the Christian separatist group Christian Exodus, until his posts were conspicuously removed from the group's site. But luckily, he left a paper trail:
According to Christian Exodus's mission statement, "The initial goal was to move thousands of Christian constitutionalists to South Carolina to accelerate the return to self-government based upon Christian principles at the local and State level. This project continues to this day, with the ultimate goal of forming an independent Christian nation that will survive after the decline and fall of the financially and morally bankrupt American empire."
The group, which is closely tied to the neo-confederate League of the South, attempted to set up an independent, theocratic state in South Carolina by 2016 but has since moved on to creating theocratic settlements in Panama and Idaho.
Riley is also chairman of the Constitution Party of Mississippi and stated that its goal is to "restore American government to its Constiutional [sic] limits and American jurisprudence to its Biblical presuppositions." According to their platform, "The U.S. Constitution established a Republic rooted in Biblical law."
But for Huckabee, it seems no activist is too radical to work with.

Slow decay for a linearized model of the solar wind
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: The solar wind interacting with a magnetized obstacle is modelled with the steady Vlasov-Poisson system in the plane. The system is linearized for the (given) magnetic field of the obstacle being small. The main focus is on the rate of decay of the spatial charge density ``downwind'' of the obstacle. A special case that admits an explicit solution is presented. It is also shown that when the background particle distribution is compactly supported in velocity, that the spatial charge density cannot, in general, decay faster than , where is the downwind distance.

The Trap of Big Data in HR
May 25, 2016
If your business is a place of public accommodation, you should be training your employees on their obligations to accommodate disabled people.
Companies might have to accommodate workers' fears under the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The ADA does not require an employer to provide a preferred accommodation for an employee with a disability; it requires only that it provide a plainly reasonable accommodation.
The ADA's workplace focus now squarely rests on the issue of accommodation. For this reason, the law's next 25 years will be greatly impacted by technology.
Employers want the right to continue to use incentivize wellness.

Eating Soy Products May Not Reduce Menopause Symptoms
by Dr. Reeja Tharu on December 7, 2012 at 10:59 AM Health Watch - G J E 4
It now looks like soy-based foods or fiber are unlikely to reduce menopause symptoms in women.
According to a new US study published in Menopause, women do not benefit much from eating extra quantities of dietary estrogen-rich soy products, in contradiction to what was thought earlier.
AdvertisementHormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a treatment carried out to administer estrogen and other hormones to counter menopause symptoms such as hot flashes. But the downside is that HRT carries risk of heart disease and cancer. Therefore scientists have been trying to look for plant-based alternatives.
Ellen Gold, the lead author of the present study, and a professor at the University of California Davis School of Medicine, says that studies on plant estrogens have yielded mixed results. An overall review of 17 studies on soy supplement pills has found that they have the ability to minimize the severity and frequency of hot flashes. However, some individual trials carried out on soy protein pills have registered no benefits.
To find if women who ate lots of phytoestrogens could handle menopause symptoms with ease, Gold and her colleagues monitored 1,651 women for 10 years. At the start of the study, none of the subjects had attained menopause. They were then followed up each year and monitored for hot flashes or night sweats. By the culmination of the study, researchers could not discover a consistent link between the amount of phytoestrogens or fiber eaten and the severity and frequency of hot flashes.
In some cases, when they did see a link between dietary estrogen and menopause symptoms, the results differed. Hence it is possible that some subsets of women benefitted with phytoestrogens.
Some scientists believe that a dead end has been reached and that scientists must move on from this area of research.

By Julien Pretot
MARCOUSSIS, France, Feb 21 (Reuters) - When heavyweight centres Mathieu Bastareaud and Manu Tuilagi cross paths in Saturday's Six Nations match between France and England at Twickenham, expect fireworks.
The pair add spice to a game that is as eagerly awaited as ever even though France have no chance of winning the championship after losing their first two matches.
England, however, are still on course for the grand slam and for that to happen they have to make sure that Les Bleus do not claim their first win at Twickenham in the Six Nations since 2005.
Tuilagi, who replaces Billy Twelvetrees in the starting lineup after missing the win over Scotland due to injury and coming off the replacements' bench against Ireland, will play alongside defensive mainstay Brad Barritt.
In the French midfield, Wesley Fofana will partner Bastareaud.
"We just saw the England team, (flyhalf Owen) Farrell has two powerful and speedy centres alongside him," Fofana, a powerful and pacy player himself, told reporters on Thursday.
"Tuilagi is one of the best centres in Europe so you have to be vigilant all the time."
The face-off between Tuilagi, who weighs about 113 kilos, and Bastareaud, 115, could be one of the keys to the contest.
"Mathieu is quite powerful himself, he's got nothing to be ashamed about," said Fofana.
"There could be some sparkles."
Bastareaud, however, will not just focus on Tuilagi.
"I take what's coming," he said.
"There is not much better than Tuilagi., it is going to be a great game. But I don't play against Tuilagi I play against the England team."
Just like his team mates, Bastareaud will need to be fully focused and put pressure on his opponents.
"England play some intelligent rugby," he said.
"It's nothing fancy but it's efficient. It's our job to put them under pressure."
The surprise effect might work, according to Fofana, who played on the wing in France's defeats by Italy and Wales.
"They like to show it when they're good," he said.
"They think that we've hit rock bottom. Maybe they think we won't defend too well."
