New Zealand Government Website

Hello

My name is Mark Sceats. Because your website kbmih.blogspot.com already links to other websites about New Zealand immigration I thought you'd be interested in a new government web resource.

www.worksite.govt.nz is a web portal that combines the resources of various New Zealand Government agencies to provide a one-stop information portal relevant for people planning to immigrate to New Zealand. Topics covered include education, training, career planning, finding work, finding staff, & establishing a business in New Zealand.

If you think the site is relevant to your own website visitors please feel free to link to it any way you feel appropriate. Some link code snippets are included at the end of this message in case you want them.

Please note this has been sent to you as a once-only email - no further emails will be sent. If you have any questions please contact me at worksite@viz.co.nz or +64 9 522 9522

Thank you for your time & consideration.

Best wishes,

Mark Sceats

Kenapa kurs Rupiah anjlok? Tanya Pertamina lah

Kenapa kurs Rupiah anjlok? Tanya Pertamina lah.

Karena harga minyak dunia yang meroket akhir-akhir ini, sementara Pertamina masih harus subsidi harga bahan bakar, akhirnya Pertamina harus membeli USD50,000,000 tiap harinya dari bank-bank pemerintah untuk membiayai impor bahan bakar.

Terang aja Rupiah anjlok, wong beli USD nya pake Rupiah.

Tapi, kenapa Pertamina harus impor bahan bakar? Bukankah Indonesia adalah negara penghasil minyak? Nah, itulah anehnya.

Terus, kenapa Pertamina masih harus subsidi harga bahan bakar? Nah, yang ini lebih baik jangan ditanyakan, nanti banyak yang ngamuk.

Btw, ada kemungkinan anjloknya sampai Rp. 12,200 per 1 USD dalam beberapa minggu ini. Jadi, bagi mereka yang sempat kejebak USD-nya di level Rp 12,000 an pada pertengahan Agustus 1998 lalu, siap-siap balik modal. Cukup melegakan bukan?

Ini suatu pelajaran bagi kita bahwa berspekulasi itu tidak baik. Dulu waktu USD sempat naik ke Rp.14,800 (Jan '98), turun ke Rp.7,950 (Mei'98), naik lagi ke Rp.15,200 (Juli'98), pada pertengahan Agustus'98 banyak orang mengganggap bahwa USD bakalan naik lagi, karena masa peralihan dari Jendral Soeharto ke Profesor Habibie dianggap belum menjamin kestabilan. Akhirnya banyak juga yang kecele beli USD pada level Rp.12,000 pada bulan itu dengan harapan USD akan naik lagi sampai Rp.15,000 bahkan lebih. Dan sejak itu, Rupiah malah turunnnn terus dan stabil pada level Rp.7,000-8,000 an, selama tujuh tahun.

Suatu penantian yang lumayan lama... tujuh tahun. Itupun belum dihitung sama nilai suku bunga dan inflasi. Dan, itupun karena harga bahan bakar dunia naik dan subsidi Pertamina.

Baru skemanya memang, tapi lumayanlah cukup melegakan.

Flying cheaper than driving

You can just pay $95 flying with AirNZ one-way from Hamilton to Wellington.



With petrol price at $1.5 per litre, you may painfully spend $120 only for petrol to drive 532 kms from Hamilton to Wellington with 0.15 litre petrol per kilometre. And, you'll get tired.

By Overlander Train, you spend $130 one-way for adult and $85 for senior. You must wait a long time to get a cheaper price.

The cheapest one is by InterCity Coachlines, you just pay $60 one-way per person. But, I prefer 1 hour sitting on a plane to 8 hours sitting on a bus.

Tips from AA:

Keep Your Petrol Costs Down

Get more value for money when filling up at the tank. In the current climate of rising petrol prices, here are some tips on how to conserve fuel and reduce vehicle running costs ... make the most of every mile travelled ...

1. Drive smoothly: Aggressive driving is expensive and dangerous. To conserve fuel, avoid rapid acceleration and operate the accelerator as smoothly as possible. A relaxed driving style can save up to 40%.

2. Moderate your speed: to save fuel and arrive alive. Driving at no more than 100km/h compared to 110 km/h saves fuel.

3. Change up: Drive in the highest appropriate gear – the revs should be moderate, not too high or too low. Driving at 60kph in third gear uses up to 25% more fuel than in fifth gear.

4. Plan ahead: Combine multiple household tasks/chores into a single trip. Plan when you could walk, cycle or use public transport instead of taking the car. Invest time in organising shared rides.

5. Lighten the load: Remove unnecessary items from the vehicle, including roof-racks, as to avoid excessive drag. If you have two vehicles, use the smallest vehicle that will do the job.

6. Service checks: Check tyre pressure and uneven tyre wear once a month. Do not over-adjust the brakes - this can cause drag. Low tyre pressures increase fuel consumption by 3%.

7. At the pump: Don’t pay for a higher octane than you need, use the lowest octane petrol suitable for your car. Check your oil levels.

8. Avoid idling for long periods (modern cars do not need to warm up) and switch off when you are parked even if you are waiting for someone.

9. Minimise air-conditioning: wind down the windows for air-flow where required. Park your vehicle in the shade where possible. Air-conditioning increases fuel consumption by up to 11%.
