When disaster strikes, veterinarians are key to successful rescue and response operations

Anyone who's spent time in an animal shelter knows that disaster can strike at a moment's notice. Whether it's the discovery of a major hoarding case or a wildfire requiring sudden evacuations, a calm day can quickly turn into a chaotic one.
Natural disasters—such as hurricanes, tornadoes, fires and floods—may occur with little warning and often pose immediate dangers to animals and people. In cases of man-made disasters, shelters are more likely to have some forewarning to prepare. These situations can include dogfighting and cockfighting seizures; hoarding cases; neglect, abuse and cruelty investigations; and puppy mill cases.
Although the cause may be different, the results are typically the same: large numbers of animals and a variety of species in need of shelter, medical treatment and behavioral care. "The key to this kind of work," says Sarah Kirk, a veterinary responder for the ASPCA's Field Investigations and Response Team, "is to be flexible. Situations change quickly, and you have to be willing to work together for the common good. You will never work harder, physically or emotionally, than you will on these cases."
Initial steps
While veterinarians already have years of specialized education, they need more training to become qualified and effective disaster responders. If a shelter is in a region where natural disasters occur frequently or if local agencies routinely require responses, shelters and veterinary professionals often become part of local or state disaster animal response teams, making it critical that team members understand the full nature of the response and of standard disaster protocols. Teams typically hold regular exercises so that members' skills are fresh, they are prepared to deploy, and they are able to work cooperatively with other responding agencies and staff members.
Most animal disaster responders must complete several online courses required of all first responders through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Emergency Management Institute to learn about the Incident Command System (ICS), and many complete additional extensive training. Kirk, for example, has completed multiple levels of training on the ICS as well as large animal technical rescue, confined space and rope rescue training, and she is in the process of completing a master's in shelter medicine.
For veterinarians to deploy and practice medicine on the scene of a disaster, they typically must be licensed in the state where they'll be working. Exceptions to this rule can be made, such as when a state of disaster is declared by the president, or when the governor of a state declares a disaster and activates an Emergency Management Assistance Compact, enabling state-to-state sharing of resources. Veterinarians should be certain they have liability coverage, either through their own provider or through states' Good Samaritan laws. Federal Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) licensure is state-specific, and DEA-controlled substances should only be handled by veterinarians who are DEA-licensed within the affected state.

In the early stages of a disaster, veterinary teams may need to provide triage, intake and medical assistance to animals in the field or as they arrive at shelters. As things progress, shelter medical personnel become responsible for managing and preventing infectious disease and maintaining a healthy environment for people and animals. Your role may be different depending on when you arrive during the course of the incident response; while some disaster situations resolve quickly, in others, a temporary shelter may be needed for months or even years.
The first medical step in evaluating patients in any disaster is triage, which is generally an ongoing process. Animals may first be assessed where they are found in the field to determine their immediate medical needs and whether to route them to a shelter or other care facility based on available local resources. Effective triage and subsequent intake can make or break a sheltering operation, and these are touchpoints where skilled veterinarians are essential.
Field triage should be done in a systematic, decisive manner by a veterinarian who can rapidly examine the basic organ systems of the patients and identify those with the most severe injuries or infectious disease issues. Generally, the immediate goal of field triage is not to provide emergency care on the spot. Instead, it is to examine and rapidly categorize animals based on the resources each will need and where their care needs to occur.
Examples of such categories are: 1) Likely to survive whether or not they receive care; 2) Critical—may survive with critical care; and 3) Dead or likely to die. These categories align with what is known as the "SAVE" system of triage, or the Secondary Assessment of Victim Endpoint, which is designed to help first responders make decisions for the good of the greatest number of victims in severe situations.
Triage should occur again prior to shelter intake. Shelter medical personnel should briefly evaluate animals for signs of health, injury, infectious disease or requirements for more intensive care than the shelter can provide and route animals accordingly.
In some situations, animals may have been exposed to contaminated environments, such as floodwaters or a hoarding home, so a decontamination station may be needed. Procedures for decontamination are generally established by a trained safety officer on scene, who is part of the incident command staff managing the disaster. Any participating personnel will need to have had appropriate training and clearance. Most veterinarians won't have that clearance; in many situations when decontamination is needed, it will need to occur prior to the medical examination for the health and safety of the veterinarians. After the decontamination and the intake exam, animals can then be safely routed to shelter housing areas.
The ins and outs of intake
During actual intake, a lot has to happen rapidly. Intake is one of the most important times for identifying health issues and preventing the spread of infectious disease, and veterinarians should participate in the entire process. (See the Resources box below for a link to a standardized intake form.)
Each animal's triage status should be recorded on the intake form so that any changes can be documented during the shelter stay. Veterinarians assisting should be sure their names and license numbers are recorded on the forms as well, as a matter of recordkeeping and in case any follow-up is required. Each animal should be carefully identified on intake and given a unique identification number. Responders should make sure that photographs are taken for identification purposes in all cases, and each photo needs identifying information such as an animal ID number and date. In the event of a situation where the animal will likely be returned, the owner can be included in these photographs to help later with reunification.
Each animal should also be scanned for a microchip with a universal scanner, have a collar marked with identification and have a microchip inserted if the scan is negative. Make sure paperwork distinguishes between owned and stray animals; if an owner is present, try to get a brief medical history, with emphasis on the animal's current medical needs. Behavior should also be assessed during intake, ideally by a trained individual. Any aggression should be clearly noted, and potentially dangerous animals should be housed in an area where they do not pose a risk to staff or other animals.
As part of the examination process, animals should be weighed, vaccinated with core shelter vaccines, treated for internal and external parasites, and have any necessary diagnostic testing performed. Diagnostic testing will vary depending on the situation, species, presenting clinical issues and resources available. Simple equipment like stethoscopes, otoscopes, refractometers, microscopes and hematocrit centrifuges is usually—but not always—available in these situations.
In general, tests that are commonly performed in emergency shelters include checks for the packed cell volume and total protein, blood glucose evaluation, urinalysis exams, fecal examinations and bedside ELISA tests for canine parvovirus and feline panleukopenia virus, FeLV/FIV and heartworm antigen tests. More advanced diagnostics are often done but may require resources not available on site. Each of these aspects of intake helps to ensure a positive outcome for not only an individual animal, but also the whole sheltering population.

In large-scale disaster situations, new patients may arrive daily, and just as in a brick-and-mortar shelter, protocols are needed in temporary housing facilities to ensure that everyone follows the same steps each day, even when changes in staff or situations occur. Animals will need to be observed daily via medical rounds and examined with regular veterinary rechecks. Follow existing protocols for the recognition, management and treatment of common infectious diseases like upper respiratory infections, canine parvovirus, ringworm and gastrointestinal issues, among others.
Biosecurity and sanitation concerns are particularly important in temporary shelters and need to be outlined early and clearly. Every shelter will require a clearly labeled isolation area where animals with potentially communicable diseases can be isolated from the general population. Veterinarians can play an important role in assessing the facility, paying attention to the flooring surface, which affects disinfection protocols.
Some response teams find it useful to keep an ever-evolving binder of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for these critical aspects of sheltering. In other situations, it falls to the responding team to develop a working plan specific to the situation.
Euthanasia is one of the most difficult aspects of this work. At a minimum, veterinarians should follow the current AVMA guidelines for euthanasia in addition to local and state laws. Photographs and a written description of the animal with location, date, time and identification number are necessary. It's always best to prepare decision-making protocols and procedures for providing humane euthanasia, even if it turns out that euthanasia is not necessary.
The public often criticizes veterinarians and responding agencies for euthanasia decisions made during disasters. These are situations that require preplanning and post-situational debriefing for the responders, who may experience significant stress and related compassion fatigue. If responders are experiencing signs of compassion fatigue—such as exhaustion and depression that extend beyond two weeks—they should contact their primary care physician to rule out physical concerns and provide a recommendation for counseling.
"Be honest with yourself about what you can handle," advises Eller Medina, a large-animal veterinarian who's worked on disaster response for the ASPCA. "Every day there will be things that you see and have to do that will break your heart, but you need to continue to approach it all from love."
What keeps people returning to this difficult work again and again? The hours are long, the conditions can be Spartan, and the cases are often overwhelming. It is difficult to put into words what a responder takes away from such an experience. Perhaps it is something of the animals' resilience that is both humbling and inspiring. Perhaps it is the experience of necessary, focused teamwork driving toward a common good. Whatever "it" is, working disasters is an experience many responders say they'll never forget. The animal welfare community needs shelter medicine professionals to engage in community disaster preparedness. Consider getting involved!
Shelters can join or look to a number of organizations for qualified veterinary support, including state and local veterinary medical associations, veterinary schools or national organizations such as the American Veterinary Medical Association's Veterinary Medical Assistance Teams (VMATs) and National Veterinary Medical Response Teams (NVRTs).
The National Animal Rescue and Shelter Coalition has a standardized intake form available at narsc.net.
Online courses are available from FEMA.

Just In > Development debacle deepens
Development debacle deepens
WAYNE Riley said he has had a vision for development on his land in Scone, which has changed at every turn with Council and leaves him and other developers at a loss.
When Mr Riley heard about a petrol station proposal in Aberdeen Street, he was shocked such a development could be proposed in the location and put forward his land on the northern end of the bypass as a better alternative.
Transport for NSW advised Council such a development would be better suited at a location to the north or south of the bypass, however the proposed development is still being considered by Council for Aberdeen Street. (Read: Transport for NSW concerns for petrol station).
Editorial note: Yesterday I was declared a Councillor on the Upper Hunter Shire Council. This story was already in draft prior to being a Councillor, however I will no longer be reporting Council matters on scone.com.au. I will still be writing about Council on www.elizabethflaherty.com.au and expressing my personal views from the position of a Councillor on a range of matters. These will also be posted to a Facebook Page.
Wayne Riley said it was just one of many decisions on development and land zoning over the past 20 years in the Shire that has confounded him.
"I honestly don't know what I've got to do to get a fair go," said Wayne Riley.
"I've done four rural residential developments in other areas, but with Upper Hunter Shire Council I have no idea; I'm not asking for any favours, I'm not asking them to do a development on the wrong zoned land, but they seem to do that in spades for others," Wayne Riley said.
In 1999 Mr Riley purchased approximately 40 acres of land on the New England Highway north of Scone, bordering the Common Road near the cemetery.
Initially Mr Riley had hoped to develop a residential rural subdivision with eight homes on four acre lots, with common area suited for exercising horses.
"It was knocked back and I wasn't really given a reason; I was asked if it would attract thoroughbred breeders, but I explained it wasn't meant to be a stud development, it was meant to be residential and I hoped it would attract buyers who loved horses and they could have them there and still be close to town," said Mr Riley.
"I was also told the Common Road intersection was an issue and I'd have to pay for it to be upgraded as part of the development, I was prepared to contribute, but that road needs to be addressed by Council anyway for access to the cemeteries; at the moment there are long funeral processions stopping on the New England Highway and that's not safe for anyone," he said.
The land owned by Wayne Riley north of Scone.
Approximately two years later Mr Riley began looking at new industrial and business areas being developed in other towns and thought it may be useful for Scone, since the old industrial area was becoming constrained.
"I put my idea to Council and I was told I was two or three years ahead of myself, which I thought was a strange comment at the time, but looking back Council still had some land available for sale in the old industrial area," said Wayne.
"Then there was some strong land sales and they called me back a few months later and asked if they could rezone my land, I agreed and was fairly excited I could finally do something with my land," he said.
"Then Councils tarted developing land with Burton's and all of a sudden there is 80 acres of light industrial business blocks on the market and so I wasn't going to be able to sell my land or develop for much longer than I'd hoped," he said.
"I then noticed people were having trouble getting accommodation in Scone and people working in Scone were having to travel to Muswellbrook and Murrurundi, so I began looking into having a motel on the highway.
"I thought it would help keep people in town rather than going to Muswellbrook, plus on the highway attract more travels who would then have dinner in town and grab their coffees in the morning.
"But in 2013 there had been a shift in planning laws and while the land had been very flexible and could have accommodation when we bought it, but after 2013 that changed.
"By this stage we were getting pretty frustrated and we weren't able to do anything.
"Late in 2018 I rang the Steven's Group, I could see they were having trouble with the zoning in Aberdeen Street, it was flood zone and the residents all had concerns and I thought they might be interested in part of my land which was already zoned for that kind of development, but then by the end of 2019 that had gone cold.
"I had a meeting with Council to try and see what I could do on my land, when I asked about doing a motel I was told that wasn't possible because Council didn't want motels on the highway, they had to be in town.
"I questioned where they could put a new motel in town without having to tear down houses to do it and how a location on the highway would attract people travelling to stay in the area, especially after the bypass.
"An RV park was raised and I said I'd been keen to do that, again on the highway it would attract people driving past and the aim would be for them to stay the night, unhook and go into town for dinner and stay in the area a while.
"I was excited about doing a really good development, purpose built and attractive from the highway and I thought it was ideal, rather than having an RV park within the township where it wouldn't be seen by people driving down the highway," he said.
"But I was told in the same meeting that it would count as a accommodation and wasn't appropriate either," he said.
"The very next month Council passed a motion to provide more RV facilities at the Bill Rose Sports Complex," he said.
"When they said no to the accommodation I was at a loss and said 'fine I just want to go back to the residential lots' on my calculations eight homes out there over the past 20 years at about $100,000 from each home being spent on everything from new cars to groceries that comes close to $20million which could have come into the local economy and that's not even including the cost of building a $400 to $500,000 home on the blocks," he said.
"But I was told they weren't interested in small rural residential blocks," Wayne Riley said.
Wayne Riley said the blocks he keeps coming up against are common to many people wanting to develop Scone and said Scone is regressing.
"When you look at a place like Mudgee, which was relative to Scone when we bought our land, it has grown in leaps and bounds and they have planned it out really well, but when you look at what's happened in Scone over that same period, it's gone backwards," said Wayne Riley.
"If they don't have some vision and direction and people wanting to do things in Scone see zoning chopping and changing and things being changed to accommodate some people and not others, why would anyone want to invest and develop here?" he questioned.
"I'd love to sell my land at this stage, but investors who want to do developments in town are looking for land which is ready to go for development and for Council's that have streamlined processes that are fair, so that they know they're not going to get caught up for years spending money and not getting anywhere," he said.
"I feel like I'm jumping through hoops with Council's opinions not fair and transparent planning laws," Wayne Riley said.

Translation, Conflict and Memory – DCU, 3-4 November 2017
After a successful first meeting in Re-encountering the Canon, held in University College Cork in September 2016, the second edition of the Symposium on Literary Translation and Contemporary Iberia, focused this time on Translation, Conflict and Memory, gathered a group of scholars from the Iberian Peninsula, Ireland, France and the United States to explore the crossings and negotiations between translation, the representation of conflict and the re-creation of memory in national and transnational contexts.
The symposium started on Friday afternoon with a though-provoking keynote speech by Pilar Godayol, professor in Translation Studies at the Unviersity of Vic-Central University of Catalunya. Professor Godayol introduced one of the most debated topics of the weekend, the intimate relationship between translation and censorship during Franco's regime. Through an overview of the history of Mary McCarthy's novels in Spain during the dictatorship and a close look at the censor's reports, Prof. Godayol gave an insightful perspective on the difficulties of translation and publishing at the time and the contradictions and discrepancies present in the censors' reports.
Censorship was indeed one of the key topics discussed, with excellent presentations on its different ramifications in the representation of drama and its political use (Dr Catherine O'Leary), the impact of censors' comments on the final translation of Orwell's Homage to Catalonia (Prof Josep Marco), or the recovery of the translation market into Catalan in the 1960s (Lara Estany Freire). All the papers presented very different but complementary perspectives on the difficulties of the process of importing foreign literature into Spain during Franco's regime, generating stimulating conversation.
Along with censorship and the political manipulation of literature in Franco's Spain, several papers dealt with the reception of the conflict and the re-creation of memory abroad, providing with abundant perspectives of the war in different settings and in very diverse media: from the US reception of the successful mini-series El tiempo entre costuras (Dr Kyra A. Kiertys), to the analysis of the manipulation in the translation of Paco Roca's graphic novel Los surcos del azar into French (Dr Thomas Faye), as well as an overview of new trends in the translation and reception of contemporary Spanish narrative in the Anglophone world (Eddie Mc Whinney) or an analysis of the translation and reception of Los girasoles ciegos in Portugal by Dr Inês Espada Vieira, who also discussed the idea of 'travelling memory' and the role of translation in transforming the memory of the Spanish conflict into a shared, European memory. In line with this, Dr Manus O'Dwyer presented a compelling paper on the concept of 'multidirectional memory' and its presence in Valente's translations of Jewish authors Jabès and Celan.
In consonance with the transnational travels of conflict and memory and the desire to present a multifaceted overview, other papers dealt with so-called peripheral languages and the effect the travels of both their people and their texts have had in the representation of their cultures. Dr Elisa Serra Porteiro focused on the translation into Galician of the play El irlandés astrólogo, by Galician exile Luís Seoane, and Dr Martín Veiga analysed Pearse Hutchinson's engagement with the conflict through his translation of O moucho, by Galician poet Uxío Novoneyra. My own presentation, earlier in the morning, dealt with the translation of O lapis do carpinteiro into English and the impact of the translator's approach in the construction of meaning through cohesive networks present in the text.
Surprisingly for a small symposium, a full panel was focused on the figure of Langston Hughes and his role as a bridge in the representation of the Spanish conflict through his writings and translations, in many cases created in collaboration with Spanish intellectuals. The three papers by Dr Patricia San José Rico, Dr Andrew Samuel Walsh and Dr Evelyn Scaramella nicely tied up a multidimensional perspective on this figure that has been key in the visibilization of both the Spanish civil war and the literary productions that are linked to it in some way or another, particularly through his translations of Lorca.
Both the papers and the dialogue they brought about were particularly inspiring, and the reduced size of the encounter facilitated the continuation of the exchange afterwards, aided by a relaxed wine reception on Friday in which we had the pleasure of listening to a brief poetry reading from Martín Veiga's latest creative publication, Diario de Crosses Green. I unfortunately did not have the opportunity to attend the dinner organised for Saturday evening, but I cannot but hope that there will be a third edition to continue the inspiring conversations generated both in UCC last year and in DCU last weekend, in an exciting symposium exceptionally well organised by Dr Lucía Pintado Gutiérrez and Dr Alicia Castillo Villanueva.

We'll continue to engage NLC for better workers' welfare – Gbajabiamila
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, has said that the House will continue to engage the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), for better workers welfare of Nigerian workers to enable them give their best. Speaker Gbajabiamila, who stated this at a meeting with the national leadership of NLC led by its president, Comrade Ayuba Wabba, also encouraged Nigerian workers to support the government and do what is right at all times.
Commending Nigerian workers for their sacrifices over the years, he said that the 9th House would not hesitate to promote good ideals that would strengthen their working environment. Gbajabiamila further stated that he was deeply concerned by the issue of strikes that come up from time to time, which he said would not augur well for the country's economy. "Since the inauguration of the 9th House on June 11 last year, the leadership of the House has intervened in several looming strikes in the health, education and power sector, but he urged the workers to always exercise some high level of patience.
"We'll continue to strive towards a convenient environment for workers to avoid strikes. So, the House is there. Ours is a people's House, and we'll continue to work for the people. "We'll also encourage workers to do what's right. For example, the issue of IPPIS shouldn't have come up. When such issues come up, we won't hesitate to be objective enough," he said.
"In the 9th House, we adopted the mantra of Nation-Building: A Joint Task. This isn't about any party, men or women, Islam or Christianity. But it's about Nigeria and Nigerians. So, we'll work with you. When it comes to national issues, we should all keep our affiliations aside", he said.

PCC has agreed to loan £100,000 to organisations who promise to reduce crime
The West Midlands Police and Crime Commissioner has become the first PCC to invest in a social enterprise investment fund to address poverty and inequality, which are shown to reduce crime.
Social enterprises are organisations which reinvest their profits to create positive social change in the local community.
David Jamieson has invested £100,000 into the Resonance West Midlands Social Investment Tax Relief (SITR) Fund, which invests in social enterprises enabling them to grow their impact, making a greater difference to the communities they serve.
A key objective of the fund is to tackle poverty and inequality across the region by investing in high impact, mission driven organisations.
The fund is managed by Resonance, a social impact investment company, who operate the West Midlands SITR Fund who also have successfully created a similar fund based in the South West, and recently launched another in the North West.
The West Midlands SITR has raised over £1.5 million to date to invest into social enterprises, charities and community businesses, mainly from individuals. The fund is aiming to raise a total of £5m to invest in the region.
Assistant Police and Crime Commissioner Waheed Saleem, said:"The fund helps to reduce poverty across the region and will include a wide range of interventions including rehabilitation and support of ex-offenders.
"A condition of the £100,000 contribution to the fund, is it is invested in social enterprises that have a crime prevention objective. This can be through employment of ex-offenders or some other objective."
The Jericho Foundation is one of the social enterprises which have received funding through the scheme.
Jericho have received a loan of £100,000 to help support local people to find employment, providing employment and training for those who are often held back by a wide range of barriers, such as homelessness, alcohol and substance misuse, a criminal record or mental health issues.
Richard Beard Chief Executive of the Jericho Foundation, added: "The foundation supports people who face multiple and complex barriers to employment, training or social inclusion to become fulfilled, skilled and employed.
"It has a specific focus on the some of the poorest and most deprived areas. The foundation provides a range of work experience, apprenticeships and individually tailored supported employment programmes through a range of income generating social enterprises.
"The £100k loan through SITR has facilitated the growth of one of Jericho's most successful social enterprises, the ReUsers, where second-hand items are restored and sold through Jericho's two retail outlets.
"This has increased retail space by 25%, enabling an increase in product ranges available and increased productivity".
Other recipients of the funds include Challenge Academy CIC who have received £150,000 and Wildgoose Rural Training who have had a loan of £85,000.

HM's Meet With Kin Of Terror Attack Victims Cancelled, To Address Presser In Evening
New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah's meeting with the victim families of the Dangri terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district has been cancelled. He will address a press conference in the evening today. Shah spoke to the families of the victims of Upper Dangri in Rajouri.
The family members told ABP News that while talking to Amit Shah they raised the issue of security and have demanded that army should be deployed in sensitive areas including Dangri. The demands of the families have been accepted by Amit Shah. Along with this, these families also raised the demand to strengthen the Village Security Committees in these areas.
Shah arrived in Jammu on Friday to meet the families of those killed in the terror attack in Rajouri. Shah was received at Jammu Airport by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha this noon. Shah will visit the Rajouri district of Jammu and Kashmir to review the ground situation with the security forces, as reported by the news agency ANI citing sources.
Shah's visit comes in the wake of twin terror attacks in Rajouri which left seven people dead. Shah will visit the place where the terrorist attack happened and meet the family members of the civilians killed in these incidents, ANI reported citing sources. He will also meet officials of the Jammu and Kashmir administration and security forces.

Notably, six civilians including two children were killed and many more injured in two terror attacks in Upper Dangri village in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district on January 1 and 2.
While four people were gunned down on January 1 evening, two children were killed and several others injured after a suspected Improvised Explosive Device (IED) blast occurred in the same vicinity in Rajouri's Upper Dhangri village on January 2 morning.
Reaching Rajouri, Shah will then go to Dhangri to inspect the site of the terror attacks and interact with the families of the victims, ANI reported. In Jammu, Shah will preside over the meeting of civil administration and security establishment officers at Raj Bhavan.
The Home Minister on January 9 held a crucial meeting with top leaders of the Jammu and Kashmir unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party at his residence in the national capital. Earlier in the day, Amit Shah paid tribute to former Union minister Sharad Yadav, who passed away last night.

QV homevalue Hawkes Bay, Registered Valuer Michelle Drinkrow said, "The Hawkes Bay residential property market is still showing steady levels of activity and demand.
Well-presented properties are continuing to sell well but in some instances buyers aren't rushing to complete the sale like they were a few months ago.
The latest round of LVR changes appears to have had a minor impact on some buyers but cash investors or those with high levels of equity remain active. We are also continuing to see out of town buyers moving to the area to live in search of more affordable housing.
Residential vacant land in both Napier and Hastings remains in high demand with good sales levels being seen.
We are noticing a limited number in listings available which could be in part due to the annual winter slow-down which traditionally occurs in the Hawkes Bay property market and also through buyers taking a wait and see approach until after the election.
Most provincial areas of the North Island continue to see relatively strong value growth as buyers look outside of the main centres for more affordable property. Some of the strongest value growth has been seen in the Kaipara and Whangarei Districts North of Auckland; the Hauraki, South Waikato and Waitomo Districts near Hamilton and in Masterton; South Wairarapa and Carterton near Wellington. Values dropped in the Tararua, Ruapehu and South Taranaki Districts.
In the South Island, the Queenstown market has begun rising again after a period of relatively flat growth up 4.9% over the past three months which may be driven by strong value growth at the top end of the market there. The average value there has now topped that of the Auckland Region at $1,092,748. Nearby Central Otago has also seen values rise 4.8% over the same period and values continue to rise in nearby MacKenzie and Clutha districts. Values in Westland are also rising up 4.5% over the past three months and 10.0% year on year while values continue to decrease in other parts of the Westcoast in the Buller and Grey Districts. Values also dropped in Kaikoura, Ashburton and Waimate.

The two pictures at the top represent the same structures with two different models. The first is a space filling model demonstrating the amount of space required for each atom. The second is a stick model to help you see the angles as you rotate the bonds. You may select to rotate either Phi or Psi. The currently select angle is also displayed on the plot of Phi vs. Psi. On the Phi/Psi plot..... The regions that are white are ANY allowed for any amino acid. The pink regions are Phi/Psi angles that are not allowed for all those amino acids which have a b-Carbon (ie. all but glycine). Notice: the pink regions are symmetrically placed across the graph while the dark purple one are assymmetrical! The Dark purple regions are those that ARE allowed for all amino acids except proline. In Proline Phi is restricted to angles of about -60 degrees while Psi is "freely rotatable".In the pink regions indications such as "<--- R-O1---> mean that The b carbon of the side chain and the oxygen atom of the amide collide in this region. Look for these collisions on the pictures as you rotate the bonds.As you change the angles, a blue bar represents a rough idea of where you are on the plot.The circle on the plot labeled "a" represents the angles that when several consecutive amin acids have these angles an a-helix structure is observed.
the circles labeled "A" and "P" represent the angles that when several consecutive amin acids have these angles an b-sheet structure is observed.
