<p>When I worked for the National Bank 30 years ago, the making sure payments aren't dishonoured by the bank of the payee, was definitely a valid reason.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However, in those days most deposits were made physically, were likely to be cheques, and the bank manager couldn't tell what they were until the physical deposit slip was returned from Databank.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These days, you'd think most deposits would be able to be instantaneously cleared..</p>

As a leftie, their demands would be laughable if they weren't so infuriating.

The more finds you do, the better your ideas will be for placing our own cache. Found a couple of amazing ones this week. One of them I had to blow down a pipe to create pressure to raise the cache out of a tube in a garden. So well done!

<p>Pprune has all sorts of people on there - a bit like here where some know their rugby very well - others not so much.. There, some are pilots, some pretend to be. Not a terribly reliable source, it does stand for "rumour network" after all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for transponders and GPS - not really linked. The transponder is for SSR (secondary surveillance radar) although a lot of aircraft these days are equipped with ADS-B (automatic dependent surveillance - broadcast) which replaces SSR and doesn't require those sphere things that you see on hills. ADS is already mandatory in Aus and some other places, it will become the norm in future. It is getting more advanced and will certainly help in cases like MH370 and MS04 although they still don't broadcast continuously.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A kiwi company is actually producing small, cost effective, trackers that can go in helicopters and smaller aircraft which won't have ADS (yet anyway).</p>

<p> </p>
<p>These are faults that have been sent from the aircraft to the company - usually straight to engineering who monitor aircraft "health". It is easy to jump to conclusions, but those messages indicate that something happened on the co pilots side in the flight deck, there was then smoke detected in the toilet, then in the avionics bay (under the flight deck) which lead to some pretty important things failing. FCU is what the pilot uses to control the aircraft (there are 2 channels and only one has failed at this point) and F/CTL is the flight control computer. That is only a secondary one and there are 5 of them in total (that run the fly by wire system) but it could be an indication that a fire was burning them all. Not nice. They also think that pilot turned off the airway which is a first reaction if in trouble to avoid hitting other aircraft.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What caused the failures, fire? All speculation but could be several things. </p>

<p>No it categorically doesn't. I quoted the regulation. IF it is to be halal then it must have its throat cut and it must be stunned, and the stunning has to comply with regulations about that. But it doesn't have to be halal by regulation. FYI what I posted was a cut and paste from the regulation and it clearly has the word "unless" in it. So there is a choice.<br><br>
Of course if you use an "approved method which renders the animal instantaneously insensitive" it wouldn't be halal, but so what? The government does not require meat to be halal, and it doesn't require animals to be stunned.<br><br>
If people wan halal slaughter to stop their target should be the meat processors not the MPI</p>
</div>

<p> </p>
<p>Yeah I think that was Hydro's point. That the animal must be stunned if it's going to be slaughtered halal-styles.</p>
<p>I think it goes without saying that stunning is not necessary if you're going to kill the thing instantly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Honestly I don't have a problem with the NZ method. I know that to be halal they must be conscious but I certainly don't remember lambs coming down the shoot before they had their throats cut like they are anything but completely out. I guess that's why lamb etc from NZ is very much in a grey area when it comes to halal or not.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>From my time at the freezing works, it never looked cruel.</p>

<p>It's probably about time that the EU came into line with NZ law and removed their religious exceptions.</p>

I think it is being offered free until June. I have to make the call at work whether to bring all out W7 and W8 PCs forward. Its a no-brainer for W8. Unfortunately just with my test PCs I have a failure rate of about 50% doing the auto upgrade and that takes hours uf successful and then double that if unsuccessful with a generic error and it has to revert. On the plus side I haven't seen it brick a pc...yet
