The economy of New Zealand has relied on overseas trade and capital since the 19th century, when Europeans colonized the islands. Most of the countrys infrastructure was initially developed by the state using imported capital. Imported goods and capital were paid for with exports of frozen meat and butter, which from the 1880s were the mainstay of overseas earnings for nearly a century. Terms of trade (the relative prices of exports and imports) were strongly in New Zealands favor until the early 1970s. At that time, increases in world prices for oil (which New Zealand imports), reduced world demand for New Zealands traditional primary goods, and decreased access to the British market with the development of the European Community (now European Union) contributed to a balance-of-payments deficit. The deficit persisted, making it difficult for New Zealand to regain the prosperity of earlier years. The economic problems were largely attributed to the economys slow adjustment to external market changes. The economys dependence on the export of a limited range of goods meant that any fluctuation in world prices and demand for those goods had a considerable effect. In addition, the economy was strongly regulated by the government.
In the mid-1980s the government initiated a program of economic restructuring along free-market lines. The reforms were designed to promote economic flexibility and competitiveness while decreasing the governments role in the economy. A program to deregulate the economy involved the removal of many legal and governmental restrictions that were regarded as hindrances to free competition, including agricultural subsidies, tariffs and import duties, and fiscal controls. The government withdrew from the manipulation of currency and financial markets and reduced its financial burden for social-welfare provisions. Privatization was vigorously pursued, and many state assets were transferred to the private sector. The economic restructuring ultimately transformed a highly regulated welfare state into a free-market economy.
The transition was not entirely successful in terms of economic performance, however, as New Zealands economy fell short of growth expectations. One reason for this was the increased export of profits, especially in growth sectors such as banking and telecommunications. In addition, some economic sectors could not compete with the lower wage levels and higher industry protections in some other countries. The automobile industry was completely eliminated, while many clothing and footwear manufacturers moved their operations to countries with cheaper labor. The reforms also exacted a social cost, leading to high rates of unemployment (virtually nonexistent from the 1940s until the mid-1970s) and increased income inequalities.
The countrys national income, or gross domestic product (GDP), was $49.9 billion in 2000 (in U.S. dollars). Some 67 percent of the GDP derives from services, 26 percent from industry, and 7 percent from agriculture, forestry, and fishing. However, the relatively small GDP figure for agriculture, forestry, and fishing underestimates its importance for New Zealands exports. Half of the countrys export earnings come from these products. In recent years New Zealand has developed its agriculture and manufacturing industries to suit the needs of niche markets. Dairy and meat exports continue to make a large contribution to New Zealands economy. However, industries such as forestry, horticulture, fishing, manufacturing, and tourism have become increasingly significant.

[LIVE REVIEWS] The Bowery Ballroom - 19 April 2017
By Spencer Dukoff
New York Daily News
If it makes you happy, Sheryl Crow is down to play her hits all night long.
At a sold-out Bowery Ballroom on Wednesday night, Crow teased songs off her upcoming album, "Be Myself," and reminded a rapt audience just how many massive hits she has in her back catalog.
For a bonafide star like Crow, the Bowery Ballroom is a tiny venue, much smaller than the Beacon Theatre, which Crow will play in June as part of the "Be Myself" tour.
The gig's intimacy meant Crow had no place to hide. That vulnerability and the up-close-and-personal nature of the evening was a treat for hardcore fans packing the room.
Crow opened the show with high-energy performances of "Everyday Is a Winding Road," "A Change Will Do You Good," "All I Wanna Do" and "My Favorite Mistake."
Her first words to the crowd?
"My life does not suck."
With that, Crow launched into the title track from her new record, which fits right in with the classic '90s sound that propelled her to worldwide domination and massive commercial success.
Rocking a bass and giving off major McCartney vibes, Crow began the song with the very-Sheryl-Crow lyrics, "Saw my shrink today/ He said girl I can't help you." The chorus is engineered to instantly get stuck in your head, like all the best Sheryl Crow songs: "If I can't be someone else I might as well be myself."
Crow seemed to understand that most of the audience was not there to hear songs off of "Be Myself," which drops Friday. Instead, she tastefully threaded in new material between crowd-pleasers.
The new album, which features "a bunch of songs" that Crow "barfed out" back in August, explores the songwriter's relationship with social media.
"As young as I feel, I feel like a total dinosaur when it comes to 'tap, tap, tap' and likes and dislikes and (snores)," Crow shared.
It was a perfect segue into "Alone In The Dark," the new album's opening track. The "darkness" in the song is a nod to unplugging and going dark on your devices.
For Crow's seminal Cat Stevens cover, "The First Cut Is the Deepest," Crow had the crowd less singing along, and more emotionally shouting along (tequila and white wine were flowing at the pre-show happy hour downstairs).
She also paid tribute to music legends we recently lost, and the effect those deaths had on her songwriting.
"Last summer sucked. Prince died and that totally took the wind out of my sails," Crow said.
But Prince and David Bowie's deaths were compounded by a year of "hate rhetoric."
"The people that are supposed to be the best of us are acting so ugly," she said.
It was all an introduction for "Grow Up," a song that Crow said was dedicated to Prince because he never seemed to lose his innocence. Perhaps unintentionally, the song also showcased how gracefully Crow, who turned 55 this year, has aged.
After a raucous "There Goes the Neighborhood," Crow quipped, "That's just clean, family entertainment."
The evening peaked emotionally with a bewitching "The Difficult Kind."
She introduced "If It Makes You Happy" as the second-most popular karaoke song of all time, and closed the set with possibly the guiltiest of pop pleasures, "Soak Up the Sun," before a three-song encore.
If you closed your eyes at any point during the evening, you could've been back in the '90s, when Crow was the reigning queen of radio.
But Wednesday night was no shallow nostalgia trip.
It was a reminder that Sheryl Crow's never left and she's here to stay.
Everyday Is a Winding Road
A Change Would Do You Good / All I Wanna Do
My Favorite Mistake
Be Myself
Long Way Back
Alone In The Dark
Can't Cry Anymore
The First Cut Is the Deepest (Cat Stevens cover)
Grow Up
Heartbeat Away
There Goes the Neighborhood
Leaving Las Vegas
Strong Enough
Rest Of Me
The Difficult Kind
Roller Skate
Halfway There
Best of Times
Picture / If It Makes You Happy
Soak Up the Sun
Run, Baby, Run
Real Gone
I Shall Believe
By Everynight Charley Crespo
The Aquarian Weekly
Born in Kennett, Missouri, Sheryl Crow attended university in nearby Columbia and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in music composition, performance, and education. While at the university, she sang in a local band, Cashmere, and after graduating worked as a music teacher at an elementary school in Fenton, Missouri. Teaching during the day granted her the opportunity to sing in bands on the weekends and record advertising jingles. After years of singing backup and writing songs for others, her debut album won three Grammy Awards in 1995 and sold more than seven million copies. Crow's ninth and most recent studio album, Be Myself, was released on April 21, 2017. Crow currently lives on farmland near Nashville, Tennessee.
Perhaps as a warm-up to a tour of much larger venues, Sheryl Crow performed a two-and-a-half-hour set at the Bowery Ballroom. The lengthy show allowed her to introduce a few new songs and play all the hits. The concert began with "Every Day Is a Winding Road," with Crow on acoustic guitar and crystal clear vocals while the band played a driving rock; Crow spent more time dancing than strumming on this energetic opener. Crow later rocked the bass and eventually the keyboards. For the most part, Crow eschewed her recent country music excursion for her signature energetic pop rock that was nevertheless tinged often with country melodies and hooks. Even the uninformed in the audience knew which songs were the hits; those were the songs with the very repetitive choruses that the audience chanted with her. The live arrangements were largely up-tempo, all propelled by crisp and fluid guitar leads and an undercurrent of honky-tonk piano. Ever personable, Crow chatted with the audience and offered anecdotes for many songs, particularly her newer songs. All in all, Crow performed a highly enjoyable concert that gave the fans everything they wanted.

Vitamin B12 foods: How to avoid a B12 deficiency
Created by Tanuja Sodhi Updated on May 13, 2014
It may sound bizarre but it's true, that 7 out of 10 diet and fitness patients for me suffer invariably from vitamin B12 deficiency. All I need to do in order to know is to look at their pale faces and ask them whether they feel listless and low on energy through the day. If the answer is an instant and a firm nod of the head, it's perhaps the vitamin B12 that is giving them a tough chase! The point I am making here is that B12 is extremely common and rampant in our society today.
What is vitamin B12 and why do we need it?
Vitamin B12 or Cobalamin is an essential water-soluble vitamin that is commonly found in a variety of foods, such as eggs, fish, shellfish, meat and dairy products. B12 is responsible for formation and maturation of red blood cells. It also works with folate to make our body's genetic material. Like most vitamins, the body can't make B12. Instead, it must be gotten from food or supplements.
Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency
Symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency may include:
• fatigue, lethargy, weakness or light-headedness
• memory loss, disorientation
• muscle weakness, stiffness & tightness of muscles
• incontinence
• low blood pressure
• vision problems
• dementia, psychoses
• mood disturbances and depression
• rapid heartbeat and breathing
• pale skin
• sore tongue
• easy bruising or bleeding, including bleeding gums
• stomach upset and weight loss
• diarrhea or constipation
• Tingling or numbness in fingers and toes, etc.
Anemia is the final stage of B12 deficiency.
Causes of vitamin B12 deficiency
Vitamin B12 deficiency typically occurs in people whose digestive systems do not adequately absorb the B12 from the food they eat. Causes of B12 malabsorption include:
• intestinal dysbiosis (microbial imbalances in digestive tract, etc)
• gut inflammation
• atrophic gastritis (inflammation of stomach mucosa)
• hypochlorhydria (lack of stomach acids)
• pernicious anemia (an autoimmune disease)
• medications (especially acid-suppressing drugs)
• exposure to nitrous oxide during surgery
• Conditions affecting the small intestine, like celiac disease and Crohn's disease
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Long-term use of acid-reducing drugs.
Who is at risk of vitamin B12 deficiency?
Since it's the only vitamin we can't obtain from plants or sunlight, people at most risk for vitamin B12 deficiency are strict vegetarians and vegans. It occurs in vegetarians because the best food sources of the vitamin are animal products. Others at risk are elderly people aged over 60, breastfed infants and babies born to vegetarian mothers.
Preventing B12 deficiency through diet
Most people can prevent vitamin B12 deficiency by consuming certain foods rich in vitamin b12. These are:
a) Seafood like shellfish, clams, oysters, lobster, mackerel, tuna and salmon
b) Meats like chicken and mutton, especially liver
c) Eggs
Some vegetarian sources of vitamin B12 (though weak sources as compared to animal sources) are:
d) Dairy products like milk, yogurt, buttermilk and cheese
e) Yeast extract spreads (marmite)
f) Whey Powder
g) Fortified soy milk and tofu
h) Fortified cereals
Recommended Daily Allowance for vitamin B12
1. Children upto 8 years of age: 0.4 to 0.9 microgram per day.
2. Children above 8 years of age: 1.2 to 2.4 micrograms per day.
3. Adults over age of 19: 2.4 micrograms per day.
4. Pregnant women: 2.6 micrograms per day.
5. Lactating women: 2.8 micrograms per day.
Vitamin B12 deficiency can creep into the body very slowly giving no warning signals for a long time to come. It is also very easy to overlook the condition or confuse it with something else. So, when in doubt, the best idea would be to go for the relevant blood test. Remember, prevention of vitamin B12 deficiency related complications is easier than the treatment of the same.

After a terrifying experience with her newborn son's meningitis, Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton and family got to take some much-needed fun time. Heaton's son, Aaron Jay, known as "AJ," was christened at Ballyroan Church in Dublin. The whole family dressed to the nines for the occasion, including Heaton's husband, personal trainer Hugh Hanley, and their two-year-old daughter, Faith.
A parent's worst nightmare
Just a few weeks ago, Heaton and Hanley received devastating news. Five-week-old AJ had been diagnosed with viral meningitis and needed to be hospitalized. Meningitis presents itself with flu-like symptoms, but can be fatal if left untreated for too long.
Luckily for AJ, some time in the hospital with fluids and antibiotics helped him to recover swiftly. Still, Heaton remarked that the experience was the worst and scariest moment of her life. In a way, AJ is Heaton's miracle baby. He was born after her double mastectomy when she learned she carries a gene for breast cancer.
Life redeemed
AJ, decked out in the traditional christening gown with a white cardigan to block out the chill, presented quite the difficulty when it time came to get him into his car seat. Still, he put on a brave face for the proceedings.
Beautiful day, beautiful dress
Heaton donned a conservative blush pink dress and nude heels. The caramel highlights in her dark brown hair glinted in the sunlight, adding a stylish, yet elegant flair. Hanley, perhaps to avoid attracting too much attention, chose a simple charcoal suit. And, no one could say that little Faith was left out. The toddler looked a picture in her pale tulle dress with matching shoes and a thick, white overcoat.
After the horrifying scare Heaton faced with her son's illness, the family deserves some good news. However, although little AJ is relaxing at home in the loving arms of his parents, doctors are still unsure about the long-term effects of the viral meningitis. Meantime, Heaton, Hanley and family plan to enjoy life as they have it and hope for good luck in the future.

Today Apple was granted another patent. One of thousands, of course, but a patent that follows the thread of all that is social, digitally communicative, and now increasingly detectable.
The patent is in essence a viral advertising management system, so it tracks ads and other media content as it is shared through various mediums including email, texts, Facebook, Twitter, etc. According to the patent, user's names, addresses, and age can also be stored in a database. Is this a concern in the name of privacy, security, and ethics?
We don't necessarily know that Apple is planning on launching any product associated with viral advertising, or even that Apple will actively track and monitor social media consumption on an individual level.
Still, this advertising edge that Apple seems keen on gaining is telling of a broader strategic trajectory. According to Business Insider:
Apple is launching an ad blocker available for its latest update to the Safari web browser, which will let iPhone and iPad users block ads from web publishers.
Apple recently has expanded iAd, its mobile advertising system, to more countries, and Apple now offers programmatic ad buying inside iAd.
Appears similar to the generic Google and Facebook inspired monetization platforms in many ways. However, Apple's notoriety as a disruptive innovator makes this an interesting case, begging the question, what is Apple really up to with all of this?
It is certainly plausible that Apple simply files patents to deter others from obtaining certain technologies and thus maintaining leverage in terms of market competition. However, we see a bit of irony in this case, as Apple CEO Tim Cook recently condemned Google and Facebook's sequestration of personal information for profit when stating:
"Some of the most prominent and successful companies have built their businesses by lulling their customers into complacency about their personal information. They're gobbling up everything they can learn about you and trying to monetise it. We think that's wrong."
We can surely play the guessing game. However, what is important to note here is that with increasingly complex technologies proliferating every sphere of our lives, our own behavior no longer belongs to us. It is perfectly legally permissible for corporate entities and individuals to obtain and store information about your behavior, to varying degrees of course. Taking a neutral perspective, there is certainly potential in the insights that may be contained in the type of data that Apple can now extract. However, with great potential comes an even greater burden of responsibility of personal, individual data that is stored. And I am not sure how many of you have seen this, but after watching Terms and Conditions on Netflix (highly recommended), this case resonates loudly.
Weigh in, what do you think about not only Apple, but most entities with which you digitally engage, storing and often manipulating data that arguably belongs to you?

Designates charter services with one plane as NSOP holders...
Aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has rolled back its previous proposal to re-designate all non-scheduled operator permit (NSOP) holders with less than three aircraft as 'private' airlines within a month on the back of opposition from the industry.
In a fresh notification dated November 17 titled 'Minimum Requirements for Grant of Permit to Operate Non-Scheduled Air Transport Services', the DGCA has said that "an applicant for the grant of an NSOP shall be in possession of at least one aircraft, either by outright purchase or on lease".
It added that the minimum paid-up capital needs to be between R2 crore (up to 2 planes/helicopters) and R15 crore (above 10 planes/helicopters).
This is a significant shift from DGCA's previous notification dated October 13, which said, "The NSOP holders shall have a fleet of minimum three aeroplanes or helicopters either by outright purchase or through lease. To facilitate the start of operations, operators will be permitted to operate with one aeroplane/helicopter and will be given one year's time from the date of securing operator's permit to have the fleet size of three".
If implemented, the above rule would have forced almost 70% of India's air charter industry, including players like Invision Air, Zest Aviation and Freedom Services, to stop all commercial flights within a year. This was reported by FE in its edition dated October 15.
Reacting to the change, Rohit Kapur, president of Business Aircraft Operators Association (BAOA) said, "BAOA welcomes prompt action by DGCA to pull back proposed requirements of minimum 3 aircraft for non-scheduled operations. Such a step would have severely affected the industry, making operations unviable for more than two third of the existing operators. We look forward to working along with the DGCA in order to increase its safety oversight and the overall operational environment for Non Scheduled Operators in India"

cURL with PHP to fetch JSON data
I've been fiddling around with PHP and cURL vs. IIS and I finally got to work.
First make sure to remember to add useragent cURL options:

It's not required, but lets play nice and be the good visitor. Next up is to format the URL correct for the request. I have something like this:
http://example.com/?startdate=1970-01-01 00:00:00&enddate=1970-01-01 23:59:59. Notice the space between the date and the time. Well, this make IIS very unhappy, and throws me a bad request. So the spaces need to be converted to a prober URL and we ends up with this:
http://example.com/?startdate=1970-01-01%2000:00:00&enddate=1970-01-01%2023:59:59. So remember to encode your URLs correct and you'll be fine.

So...don't look at this today Mom!!! Tomorrow is her birthday, so I needed to get this done for sure! I am also entering this in two different challenges: Peachy Keen's Sketch Challenge to use the sketch they provided - and add some bling - and More Than Favors Wacky Wednesday - zoo theme (they have sheep at our zoo...in the petting farm area! So hopefully that counts!).
The card shape is once again from A Child's Year - I am loving all the shapes on there that are great for cards! This is one of the tags resized on my Gypsy and welded - it was originally a rectangle, and I wanted a 5x5 card - love how I can change it on my Gypsy! The circles on the background were also cut from a tag on that same cartridge - the outer one was cut from glitter paper. Found the sheep on Birthday bash, and cut off the extra so it was just a sheep, ran the wool through the Cuttlebug and added a Peachy face from the Wide-Eyed and Bushy Tailed Assortment. Couldn't resist a little more bling, so I added that with my Jolee's heat set tool, and added a bow and some faux stitching. Also pop-dotted the sheep from the background, and added a sentiment from Pink by Design (or actually part of two different sentiments, put together to say what I wanted!). Can't wait to give it to my mom (she loves sheep, by the way!).

Our law firm has been getting cash settlements for South Kingstown residents now for over 30 years. Do not accept a lowball offer from the insurance company for your car accident injuries. Let our experience and knowledge work for you. Feel free to contact us for a free (no obligation) case evaluation.
Frequently Asked Questions From Our Clients:
1. How Much Does It Cost To Bring a Car Accident Case?
We will charge you the industry standard of one-third (1/3) of your settlement or award, so you have nothing to lose by hiring us. We will also front the costs for things like obtaining medical records, etc.
2. What Types Of Injuries May I Be Compensated For?
If you or a loved one has suffered injuries due to a car accident, you may be entitled to recover damages for things such as medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other losses. Our experienced South Kingstown car accident lawyer, Laura Cameron, has obtained some of the largest settlements in the firm and has been doing so now for our clients for more than 20 years. Read more.
3. How Does Auto Insurance Work In RI?
Rhode Island law dictates that a vehicle owner must have a minimum coverage of $25,000/$50,000. This means that you will have at least $25,000 available to you from the other driver's insurance company. Read more.
4. What If The Other Driver Has Little or No Insurance?
There are insurance coverage options that may be available to you in this situation. The minimum insurance coverage available for uninsured or underinsured drivers in RI is $25,000/$50,000. Read more.
5. Can I Handle My Car Accident Case Without a Lawyer?
Even if you only have very minor injuries, it is risky to go about this process without the help of a trained and experienced professional. However, if you do decide to do it on your own it is important to remember that anything you say to an insurance adjuster can be held against you. These insurance adjusters can be tricky, so please exhibit caution in dealing with them. We recommend that before speaking with anyone from the insurance company, you contact a South Kingston car accident lawyer. Read more.
6. How Do I Recover Property Damages To Fix My Car?
If your auto body repairman goes over the damage with the insurance claims appraiser at the body shop, they will be in the best possible position to negotiate the most favorable compensation to fix your vehicle. This will ensure that no corners are cut and the entirety of your vehicle damages are taken care of. Read more.
7. What Will Your South Kingstown Car Accident Lawyers Do For Me?
The answer is really simple. We all know that insurance companies want to pay you as little as possible to save their company money. These insurance company claims adjusters are very good at convincing people to not hire a lawyer, but studies show people fare better if they hire a lawyer. Additionally, we will charge you no legal fees until we have obtained the settlement or award you deserve. Read more.
8. Why Call d'Oliveira & Associates?
Although there are many reasons why we feel you should hire us, most specifically is that our firm's main focus is strictly handling personal injury and disability cases. All of our lawyers here have at least 20 years of experience handling car accident cases in South Kingstown, RI and they want to form a close relationship with you to help you through this trying time.

New Delhi, Nov 3 (IANS) The Delhi government on Friday launched "parent workshops" project in schools which will help create the "right" environment for children at their homes, said Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
"The first set of workshops will begin from November 15 in 50 schools across the city," Sisodia said in a statement.
A full-fledged roll out of this programme is set to take place from January next year.
"The involvement of parents in the education of children makes a significant difference to their performance.
"These workshops are aimed at working with parents to help create the right kind of environment even in children's homes," he said.
The initial workshops would be conducted only for parents of children of Class 10 and 12.
"Parents will be sensitised on how to play a supportive role in the upcoming board examinations," Sisodia said.
He also said that strengthening of School Management Committees has helped "to mobilise and activate parents to play a serious role in the functioning of schools".
"Parent-teacher meetings that started in July 2016, have improved the parent-teacher engagement to a large extent.
"The results of these interventions have been seen in the performance of children over the last two years," he added.

MADRID, October 28, 2011
Técnicas Reunidas has been awarded the construction of a power plant in Hungary for an amount of 455 million euros, the company said.
This is Százhalombatta construction of a central gas turbine combined cycle, a project that reinforces the company's presence it has in this country, which is present since 1993.
The contract covers project management, engineering, procurement and construction of a gas turbine power with an installed capacity of 860 megawatts (MW).
According to Técnicas Reunidas, the plant, which should be completed in 2015, will have one of the most modern technologies in power generation with high efficiency and low marginal cost.
The company will execute this project for a joint venture formed by the group MOL oil and gas company in Central Europe, and services firm CEZ.

SENESE is an organisation that's helping to empower schools
to be able to teach a wide variety of children,
not just the academically able,
but children with different learning styles,
and including children with disabilities.
There's big changes and an improvement from him
when he's under the program of SENESE.
He can do things by himself.
He's having a work experience at Aggie's Hotel.
But me, as a mother, I'm really proud of him.
First and foremost, compulsory education isn't...what it is
if we did not open up the classrooms
for students with intellectual disabilities.
Secondly, students will always be discriminated in schools
if they don't come out and be included in the mainstream education.
And we included in the program as well
sign language classes for the teachers
as well as the students.
The assistance of the sign language interpreters have been great.
With AusAID's support, we've been able to build our capacity,
and we don't have to spend 60% of our time trying to find resources.
We have those, so we can get on with the job.
Having the Australian Government's support
has also connected us with some really great Australian organisations
which have been able to fast-track development
and be a source of information and knowledge for us.
Well, I'm a speech language pathologist,
which means that I help children
with all different types of communication difficulties.
So, a lot of the children here,
they need help with their speaking, making sounds,
using language and using more words.
And I also help with literacy development.
His improvement is much more better
when Rebecca teaching him how to talk and how to use sign language.
It's much better now.
REBECCA VISINTIN: I think the good thing is to show the Samoan community
that even though a child has a disability,
they can still learn, they can still talk
and they can still participate.
So, I think the Australian Government and the aid program
is really helping to change a whole society, not just one school.

Political humour, from a political party, on purpose
A press release issued by the Coalition Avenir Québec party last Friday is too good to be forgotten over the long holiday weekend.
It may be the only intentionally funny release issued by a Quebec party other than the satirical Rhinoceros Party.
The CAQ is exasperated by announcements by the Parti Québécois government of projects previously announced by the former Liberal administration. So, tongue-in-cheek, it issued its release in French proposing a 10-point plan to "improve the efficiency of redundant announcements" of the same projects by successive governments.
For example:
"1) All partisan material deployed during an announcement should be reversible and provide, on the other side, a space to include the logo of another political party, ready to be re-used for future announcements. . . .
"5) Any budget allocated for a public project should make clear the sums allocated for the multiple press conferences to announce it, and set a reasonable limit on the number of conferences on the same subject. . . .
"8) Out of respect for their use of time, no dignitary, administrator, manager or local official should be required to participate in more than five (5) announcements for the same project within a period of three (3) years. . . .
"10) To avoid any confusion, any giant cheque presented by the government during a public announcement should carry the note 'This cheque is liable to be used for multiple announcements but can only be cashed once.'"
