U.S. Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs A PRIMER ON PERSONAL SECURITY FOR VISITORS TO PAPUA NEW GUINEA BACKGROUND Although reliable statistics are difficult or impossible to obtain, violent crime is a serious threat in many areas of Papua New Guinea (PNG). The visitor to PNG can minimize the potential to become a victim of crime by taking appropriate precautions, for example, by taking part in organized tours run by reliable and experienced operators. This primer provides basic guidance for those who will be visiting PNG for a short period. Persons who plan to stay in PNG for more than a week or two should get in touch with the Embassy or long-time residents for additional guidance. UNIFYING ELEMENTS COUNTERBALANCED BY SOCIAL STRAINS Papua New Guinea, although politically one nation, is divided into over 800 separate societies with unique languages. English is the official language, but Pidgin English (Tok Pisin) is an increasingly important alternative. These unifying elements, however, are counter-balanced by growing social strains as residents of formerly isolated communities come into contact with each other. The absence or weakening of traditional village social controls is a major contributor to both urban and rural crime. INCOMPLETE TRANSITION FROM SUBSISTENCE AGRICULTURE PNG's incomplete and halting transition from a subsistence agriculture economy to one offering a broader range of jobs is the second significant contributor to crime. High wages, relative to neighboring Asian nations; the difficulty in obtaining skilled labor; inadequate infrastructure; and high utility and security costs have combined to limit industrial development, and hence non-agricultural employment. PNG is addressing these difficulties with the help of substantial foreign economic assistance.

Welcome to the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food's West Nile Virus website. The purpose of this site is to provide information to veterinarians, horse owners, and the general public about West Nile Virus in equines, as well as providing links to public health information and mosquito control information that relate to West Nile Virus. - A horse recently moved from the Phoenix area to Utah County has tested positive for WNV. UDAF has awarded $500,000 to 20 counties and agencies to help expand the fight against West Nile Virus in Utah. View a map showing the location of WNV cases in Utah during 2003, and the approximate locations of Utah Mosquito Abatement Districts View a map showing nationwide WNV cases in equine for 2004. MOSQUITO DUNKS FIGHT THE BITE Horse and livestock owners are advised to remove standing water around their property as a method to reduce mosquito populations. MOSQUITO DUNKS can be added to standing water. The dunks are small donut shaped and sized objects that release a small amount of bacteria that kills mosquito larva. The dunks can be used by anyone with landscaping ponds, bird baths, ponds, lakes, swamps, rain barrels, clogged gutters, sewers which hold water, retention ponds, drainage ditches, slow moving streams, bottoms of planters and anywhere water is able to accumulate and provide mosquitoes a place to reproduce. The dunks are widely available, including at the following retailers:

May 2004 Manitoba Soil Fertility Guide Common fertilizers and their Characteristics Table 10. Common fertilizers and their characteristics Name Nutrient Physical Properties Comments Fertilizers used primarily as sources of nitrogen: Anhydrous Ammonia Compressed gas High affinity for water Pungent odour Corrosive Must be placed at 4-6 in. depth. Hazardous (safety precautions are required). High pressure equipment required. Urea* Granular Applied prior to or after seeding. Much less corrosive than other nitrogen fertilizers. Avoid mixing with ammonium nitrate as attraction for moisture causes mixture to turn to slush. More subject to volatilization losses than ammonium nitrate when not incorporated in the soil. Volatilization losses are enhanced when urea is broadcast without incorporation under warm and windy conditions on alkaline, calcareous or drying soils. Nitrogen Solution (UAN) Solution 50% of the nitrogen is in the urea form and 50% is in the ammonium nitrate form contains 0.79 lb N/litre or 3.57 lb N/Imp gal.
