Arnbo, I've heard that Australia is a very racist country--especially towards Arabs and Asians. Also, isn't the cost-of-living in Australia outrageously expensive? A Fox Business news anchor said he recently visited the country and that a pint of ice cream cost him something like $20.00 U.S. dollars--which is utterly outrageous, if you ask me...
White Australia Policy
First let me ask you if you trust anything told to you by a Fox news anchor. Myself, having been a victim of media persecution; I take anything from the media with a grain of salt. Ice Cream costs $6 ($5.50US) for a 4 liter tub at the supermarket. Even Baskin Robbin's would charge a fraction of what this news anchor claims. You'll find the cost of living down under is comparable to Canada/US. Sydney is more expensive but the wages are a bit higher on average.
Can you define racist? My experience in Canada is that this is a term thrown around by people with a crutch to lean on. Being of Germanic ancestry I've had to stand on my own two feet. No one will pity me. I asked my workmate Anwar if he feels that there is discrimination against Arabs here. If you look at the Dept. of Immigration website Form 80; it does in fact ask you if you are of Arabic or Russian descent. So yes, this dept. does discriminate. I found this out when I tried to get my Chinese wife (then girlfriend) a tourist visa to come out here in 2003. Her tourist visa was rejected but her Fiancee visa accepted.
Another workmate is coloured from South Africa and married to a white Australian. I could tell he was a great guy when I interviewed him. I also pushed to have a Chinese friend hired at my workplace. There is no problem here. We all work together as a team. In Australia if you want to be accepted then you'd better try to be Australian. 25% of Australians were born in a different country.
The Prime Minister has a Chinese son-in-law and is fluent in Mandarin himself. His house is 10km away from here. In areas of Brisbane like Sunnybank you will see a LOT of mixed couples...mainly Asian wives with white husbands. I'm one of them. Entire suburbs of Sydney are filled with Lebanese. This is shown in the TV show "Pizza" where "Sleek the Elite" aka The Lebanese Lover was a main
character. Some clips from this show are on Youtube if you want an insight.
Australians value Mateship and team players. Anyone coming to this country with an agenda like Sikhs who wish to exempt themselves from certain laws are not welcome. The USMC treats every recruit as an equal regardless of background which is why I respect them.
Canada caters to ethnic groups with special interests which can fragment a society. I still resent that system.
I hope that this answers your question. Remember that many people view Americans as racist as well.
Canada looks worse than California. California at least has nice weather and is close to Mexico, to escape the anglos.
A bartender told me this while I was in Guadalajara Mexico:
"If you aren't careful here with the women, you will be married in a week."

Canada certainly has better city and suburban aesthetics than the U.S. I drove through the Yukon all the way down to Vancouver before and really appreciated the scenic beauty. The people I interacted with were pleasant but I bet it's a lot different if you're trying to actively date or socialize.
weather makes a big difference for me, but that's because I have lived California all my life and my ancestors are from tropical highland areas of Mexico and of the mediterranean.

These females are christian, they talk about religion with their prejudice christian friends then they flirt with you and when you want to hook they start telling every 1- & start exploiting your weakness i.e. being a male with a dk. Also- they talk about others in their presence as if they are fobs not understanding english but I tell them off in public for being fake, when by themselves they are different but with their friends they switch bunch of btvchs
:wink: :P :P :P
racist def'n: when one race believes it's superior to others
Hi Zboy1:
I'm posting because Australia has an election today and no doubt the media will make us look bad when the new gov't's refugee policy takes effect. Is America racist? I sometimes wonder why so many Americans I meet dislike Latinos but then again Australia is not bordered by 300M Latinos wanting to
move in for a better life. The USA pop. went from 250mil. to 320mil. in 20 years. This can be a strain on the infrastructure and Australia is trying to stop this problem before it happens. Isolation and an aggressive border policy have helped and this will be reinstated after today.
USA is seen as a melting pot where after a generation...you're American(ideally). If a Black man is now Afro-American is a white "Euro-American"?
Canada is a mixing pot where you are not Canadian but rather of some descent so that you can be pigeon-holed according to your ancestry. I've lost track of how many times that I've been called a NAZI. My siblings have changed their surname to avoid this scrutiny.
Is the USA the greatest country? It depends on your viewpoint. There are certainly more opportunities than in some other countries. In Canada the weather is cold. USA: Alaska vs Hawaii and in between. May I suggest you read "Emergency" by Neil Strauss. He examines the perceptions of America from within and without and how to obtain dual citizenship. Remember attitudes within the USA vary from one state to another.
Australia is not perfect either( I miss shooting sports) but my lifestyle is relaxed and peaceful...for now. I'm not rich but comfortable.
Anyone reading this forum should ask: What do I want out of life and how do I achieve these goals? I achieved most of mine by leaving Canada and marrying an Asian woman. Everyone is different on what they want out of life.
Good Luck!
Re: Why living in Canada sucks
Living in Canada does suck. And it especially sucks if you're male. But, I've never really lived anywhere else so all I can tell you is why I think it sucks.
A couple years ago I wouldn't have said that. I would have said that Canada isn't perfect, but it's a great place to live. That was before I ran into the criminal and family court.
You see, in Canada, if a woman you are in a relationship with calls the police and says you assaulted her they will arrest you. It doesn't matter if there isn't the slightest injury. They don't ask for your story. They don't do any 'policing'. They just arrest you because you are male and they have a 'zero tolerance policy for domestic violence.' This translates to, 'the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms doesn't apply here.'
The best part is that -- I was innocent. In fact, she assaulted me that night. And she reported it two weeks later because I told her that things between us are not working out and we need to discuss custody -- and to think about doing that in mediation.
I was charged with assault. I was forced to get a surety (someone who would be 'responsible' if I did anything bad -- like a baby sitter) and live with them or else I would have to sit in actual jail until trial -- which wouldn't' be for a year (or until I lied and said I was guilty so they could give me a criminal record, pat themselves on the back for doing a great job and get a promotion, and put me back on the street). Because my surety lived in another city, I had to lose my job. And my apartment. I had no prior criminal history -- AT ALL -- or any history of any kind. I was a clean slate. In fact, I worked for the protected sector in health care and had to pass a vulnerable sector check to even get my job. It was a tough position to get -- one that I won't likely get again.
When they arrested me, they held me in a holding cell for 24 hours. There was some drunk idiot screaming the entire night so it was pretty hard to get any kind of sleep. Of course you are trying to sleep on solid concrete so it wasn't much of a sleep. They took my shoelaces (I was told by another person later that it is so I don't commit suicide). I was only allowed one layer of clothing and it was ice cold down there. The place smelled like urine and the toilet had no toilet paper. It was also out in the open, in front of cameras, and in plain sight of everyone else. Nice. The next morning when they shipped me off to bail court, they put me in the back of a police van which had an even smaller metal compartment I hardly fit in. They turned the heat up high and I nearly passed out from heat exhaustion after about 40 minutes of being driven in circles. They did not go directly there. They made a bunch of pit stops.
I was not unruly. I had turned myself in after they told me there was a warrant for my arrest (to my surprise) immediately. I did everything they asked of me. I kept my mouth shut. Of course, one of the other guys who was being transported with me was the guy screaming all night. He smelled really bad too. Thankfully they handcuffed him to myself and another guy so I got to smell him intimately and couldn't move my arm.
Anyway, when the police called and said there was a warrant for my arrest, I called legal aid to ask for advice. They told me to turn myself in around 6pm. I think that was a joke that legal aid has -- since that is the worst time to turn yourself in since bail court doesn't begin until 8am the next day. When you are held, not only do they take your shoelaces, but they refuse to tell you the time (or if they tell you the time, they lie sometimes so you're confused). You can't make a phone call. You can't write anything down. This is probably so you don't write down any police officers names when they are mistreating you or write down any phone numbers to give to the douchebag lawyer that comes to visit you in the morning asking if you have a surety. You see, if you don't know the number by heart you go to actual prison where the prison system gets paid a bunch of money every day they hold you there.
When I finally got up in front of bail court, I wasn't allowed to speak to the judge. I told my duty counsel that the conditions they were suggesting were insane -- that I would lose my job and home, that I didn't even live in the same city as her, and that I wasn't guilty and that there was no evidence. They said too bad take this or go to real jail (and they're supposed to be on my side). I asked if I could speak with the judge. They said you would have to go to jail for the next 3 days since it is the weekend and there is no bail court (lies, actually, but effective ones). They said they would set up a court session in a week where I could ask to change the conditions. So I took what they gave me and came back in a week.
I spoke with duty counsel and told them what I wanted to request. They said the crown didn't have time to talk to them and I should just give up and go home. I waited all day. Then at the very end of the day they said they talked to the crown and the crown said they won't change anything. I said, can't we speak to the judge? They said no - since you accepted the terms it is up to the discretion of the crown. That wasn't quite accurate -- but without a lawyer and without spending thousands of dollars arguing a bail variance (which may or may not even be granted) it wasn't going to happen.
I started to realize that the military industrial complex in the United States -- the politicians, defense contractors and military -- was a similar setup to the lawyers, police, courts and politicians here in Canada when it comes to family law. The system was designed to destroy families so you would pay everything you had to defend yourself against charges that were often false, and devastating to your record regardless. The best part was that the more I read about this the more I realized that EVERYONE WAS IN ON IT. The police knew it wasn't true. The lawyers knew it wasn't just. The judges knew it was a custody tactic. But everyone was getting paid by this system and they want to rock the boat. They were covering their asses at best and at worst they were raking in the dough and getting promotions for easy victories.
Worst of all, the Criminal courts and the Family courts do not relate to each other. A famous judge even commented about the lack of comprehension of the effect of criminal proceedings on family court and how they often get abused by spouses to manipulate custody battles. Even so, there is nothing they can or would do about any of this because the feminists are too powerful and they LIKE this system.
In Canada, men have very few rights. The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a complete lie. Lawyers and judges play games with the wordings and pretend that things don't happen. Many of the violations are simply impossible to prove without a doubt in a court because they happen behind closed doors at the police station and no officer will rat on another officer. As a police officer I had for a friend once told me, "The police are the biggest gang in the country."
Before this happened to me, I thought that our rights in Canada were quite good. I was happy to be a Canadian. It wasn't until I got rammed into the system by a highly manipulative and, as it turned out, mentally ill ex, that I started to realize how things actually work. I was only ever 'free' in Canada for one simple reason: Because it's a big place and it's easy to stay out of the government/police's way, especially if you are not politically active. The problem is that if you get in their cross-hairs -- typically when you have children and your spouse is a woman and wants to screw with you, you are little more than an animal for the slaughter.
Oh, I also had an experience with Children's Aid out of all of this. Like I said, my ex turned out to be severely mentally ill. In fact, a few months after being silenced by my bail conditions (couldnt' go near her, couldn't talk to her, couldnt' talk to anyone that might then talk to her -- even though she had my newborn son and I hadn't been able to see him), I get a call from children's aid saying they apprehended the children and she was committed to a mental hospital. Apparently after lying to the police about my 'assault' (more like the day she threw my things off a balcony and slammed me in a door and threatened to kill me), she felt really empowered. She started calling the police on anyone who gave her a bad stare calling them rapists, thieves, even terrorists. One friend of hers had a husband who moved them to the states. They were Muslim. Her friend told her that what she was doing to me was wrong. So my ex called the Canadian intelligence agency (CSIS) and made up a story about him being a terrorist trying to bomb times square in the hopes that it would scare them away from getting involved -- forget that they were newly immigrated to America and he just got his PHD and just got a really great job and this could ruin all of it and mess with his families future. Anyway...the story gets crazier and crazier but it's all 100% true. She would never have done any damage to anyone...but the police and the courts became this psychopath's knife and she cut into the lives of myself, two children, and a dozen or so other adults that had been her friend. And there will never be any repercussion for her for two reasons: 1. she's female, 2. the police backed her first so they have to cover their ass or look like asses!
Really, I blame Canada for its desire to break up families and the lazy ass police for never investigating at all. When i was at that police station they must have had 15 different officers dicking around, chatting and doing nothing, or damn close to nothing. I saw a few of them just playing on their iPhones. This is Peel Region by the way - they are quite notorious for being corrupt (stolen indian land, I guess has something to do with it). Any one of them could have bothered to investigate a crime, God knows there's enough of them, but they didn't want to because they didn't have to -- it wasn't like they were going to lose their job for doing piss poor work. They needed good stats -- and they got those by just grinding out charges and convictions on innocent people or people who make small mistakes by deceiving them on how the system works until it is too late for them to take back the deal that they took.
In my life I must have called the police 6 or 7 times because something of mine was stolen. Wheels off my car, broken car window, money from my home, a bicycle from school, etc. Never once did a police officer do anything to solve the crime...they took my report, then closed the file. I never even got a call back from an officer saying they haven't had any luck. Not ever. Not once. Protect and serve my anus.
The Charter of rights is a joke.
1. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the rights and freedoms set out in it subject only to such reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society.
It's a joke because they can write this down in law and yet my story is "demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society." What is justifiable about a bitter accusation being enough to ruin someone's life and torture them with police abuse? If I threw my ex in a jail cell for 24 hours I would go to prison for 25 years. But the police can do that to me and it's fine?
2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
(a) freedom of conscience and religion;
(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
(c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and
(d) freedom of association.
In Canada, like the United States, being a Muslim apparently makes you a potential terrorist. You are also not allowed to practice your faith in a holding cell.
I read a story in the paper today that a man flew to Ontario from Alberta and had sent his ex some nasty messages which the police categorized as "having a violent undertone" -- so they arrested him, held him for bail, charged him...right after he got off the plane.
I like this one.
7. Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.
That does not apply to situations like mine. Your liberty is removed. Your security is compromised -- I was the one assaulted, and threatened...and yet she was free to abuse the children while I sat in court and jails until finally she went over the top so much that they were apprehended. Those sick bastards. I even warned them about it (and CAS) and they did nothing because I was the male and she had charged me first.
Later I was told by a lawyer that the reason the police wouldn't charge her with anything -- not assault, not criminal harassment (you should see some of the things she wrote to me...some included death threats), not even a misdemenor for destruction of property -- because since they charged me first, charging her with anything makes their case look weaker and they may not be able to secure a conviction and that would make them look like they were doing a bad job or had made a mistake. No joke!
Anyway, fundamental justice includes a bitter mentally ill ex lying to the police. Right. If a single officer called me and said, "do not contact her and stay away" -- I wouldn't have needed a court order. I wasn't even going to her place and hadn't been for weeks at the time because she had gotten so nuts. I would have stayed away. But they never once spoke to me...they just said hi there, we put a warrant out for your arrest and charged you with assault. It wasn't until after I read the disclosure that I realized what the hell was happening and the insane story she made up. She even admitted lying to the police later -- and still they did nothing because they are just looking for convictions and they even threatened to charge her if she changed her story -- forget that they should immediately recognize that it is a lie...they don't care that she is lying...they just want her to lie so they can land convictions on citizens so they can get promotions and make tons of money for the courts and lawyers.
9. Everyone has the right not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned.
I think it's pretty arbitrary to detain me when I have no criminal record, there is no evidence of any violence (beyond her testimony), and I've turned myself in so obviously I'm not about to DO anything or I would have done that instead of going to the police station.
Oh, I forgot to mention -- she has a criminal record. She stabbed someone before and a bunch of other things relating to drugs when she was younger. I didn't know this until my lawyer started digging. Nice. And once again, the police don't give a shit and they don't care that families are broken up, careers are lost...because no matter how much damage they do to any citizen, there is no repercussions that can come back to them. They do it because they say the courts demand it. The courts demand it because politicians say it. Politicians say it because the feminists want it and it gets them votes. They all pass the buck and in the end it's a giant corrupt cluster f**k of a system that is holy hell to be involved in.
10. Everyone has the right on arrest or detention
(a) to be informed promptly of the reasons therefor;
(b) to retain and instruct counsel without delay and to be informed of that right; and
(c) to have the validity of the detention determined by way of habeas corpus and to be released if the detention is not lawful.
See all of this sounds great...but there are some things the average person doesn't realize.
a) being informed that you are being charged with assault without the details of the assault, or what that means legally, isn't very useful.
b) you can't retain counsel just by saying you want to retain counsel...you need to get money and find a lawyer and that means interviewing them or you can get stuck with a pretty shitty lawyer...which the police know...and duty counsel is your only choice which is HORRIBLE -- because not only can they tell you all the bad advice in the world...but since you talk to them once on a phone at the police station -- you will never, EVER, be able to identify what lawyer that is or what they actually said to you so if they said something wrong or damaging you couldn't defend yourself!
And finally, they determine that a simple accusation is enough to make a detention valid. Even though people are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, somehow it is lawful to treat people guilty until proven innocent in cases of domestic violence.
And herein lies the rub -- domestic violence is not protected by the police. It has been twisted around so the accusation of domestic violence is the BEST domestic violence there is! Why beat your wife or husband when you can get the police to lock them up, ruin their record, and cost them MANY thousands of dollars in legal fees spread out over at least a year...which, let me tell you, causes an insane amount of stress. Probably causing your health to fail and you losing many years on your life. I would prefer a black eye to that any damn day of the week.
The Charter became more and more of a joke the more I read and applied to what I went through:
11. Any person charged with an offence has the right
(a) to be informed without unreasonable delay of the specific offence;
(b) to be tried within a reasonable time;
(c) not to be compelled to be a witness in proceedings against that person in respect of the offence;
(d) to be presumed innocent until proven guilty according to law in a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal;
(e) not to be denied reasonable bail without just cause;
(f) except in the case of an offence under military law tried before a military tribunal, to the benefit of trial by jury where the maximum punishment for the offence is imprisonment for five years or a more severe punishment;
(g) not to be found guilty on account of any act or omission unless, at the time of the act or omission, it constituted an offence under Canadian or international law or was criminal according to the general principles of law recognized by the community of nations;
(h) if finally acquitted of the offence, not to be tried for it again and, if finally found guilty and punished for the offence, not to be tried or punished for it again; and
(i) if found guilty of the offence and if the punishment for the offence has been varied between the time of commission and the time of sentencing, to the benefit of the lesser punishment.
1 year of your life stuck living with a surety is not a 'reasonable time.'...but they think so.
11 D is just a joke. They mean the actual record but it's a joke since if I tried to cross the border with this charge, the border cops would probably turn me back. So that's pretty much guilty. If I tried to pass a vulnerable sector check with this charge I would also be declined. Children's aid considers charges just as much as convictions so they could remove your children from your care. All of these functions equal GUILTY until INNOCENT in practice. It's all one big lie.
Not denied reasonable bail without just cause? What just cause? I was denied reasonable bail because the judge refused to discuss it and the crown doesn't want to give me any of it because they want me to give up and just plead guilty so they can win the case. That kind of strong arm tactic directly breaches the charter but there is enough plausible deniability saying they were swamped and busy and didn't know those details or that I didn't say anything (because it would cost thousands upon thousands to even begin that process at this point and so on)...not to mention 'reasonable' is subjective...and they get to decide it.
12. Everyone has the right not to be subjected to any cruel and unusual treatment or punishment.
I think that one is funny. This punishment is incredibly cruel...but it's very usual from what I am starting to see. I never knew about any of this until it happened to me and then when I started digging I found story after story after story of other men going through this same bullshit.
15. (1) Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.
This one is complete bullshit. It's bullshit for the natives. And it's big time bullshit for men with regards to women.
Actually they even have a specific clause for that.
28. Notwithstanding anything in this Charter, the rights and freedoms referred to in it are guaranteed equally to male and female persons.
In the end, Canada is one of the G20 nations which means it is ruled by the banking cartel. Feminists have an insane amount of political power and being a man is SHITTY here. The police LIE and are taught to do so. They are also lazy and incompetent and will only follow up on things that makes some political group a lot of money. When you realize that parents will pay everything they can to lawyers to try and get custody or defend themselves from false accusations...you start to see the kind of money that the family/criminal system has teamed up to harvest.
The family unit in Canada is shattered. It doesn't exist. When one belligerent phone call to the police can destroy families, careers and our health, you really are never safe or secure at all. Just like the states, child care and alimony payments are STUPID -- making gold digging a real profession.
From what I can tell, Canada lacks any kind of morality at the top and its corruption has spread all the way to the bottom. There is little or no accountability. I've worked in Health Care and have seen numerous examples of the rich and connected scratching the backs of other rich and connected. Getting health care contracts that have no potential for competition to challenge them. Providing poor services with no consequences. Tons of money being wasted. And the little guys being thrown under the bus for the mistakes of leaders -- complete insanity.
The only reason Canada doesn't fall into complete chaos is because it is a rich nation and the police are over funded so they keep people in line with overwhelming force and terror. Just look at how the police behaved during the G20 summit in Toronto a few years back and you will realize Canadians really have no freedoms whatsoever -- they're just ignored a lot of the time and they think that it is because they are free.
Look at the details of the 407 highway in Toronto. A hundred billion dollars of land purchases over 30 years were sold to a foreign nation for the cost of the highway construction.
The name of the game is to lie and to cheat citizens. To blow enough smoke around tall enough mirrors that nobody can reasonably be sure what is going on...and then to do what the Americans do -- stuff enough idiotic TV/Entertainment in their faces so they can go on being sheeple instead of questioning the systemic corruption in every level of government and throughout every social program.
The truth of the matter is that Canada is run by a dictatorship -- and it began a long time before the current conservative government. In fact, it doesn't matter which party gets in, just like it doesn't matter if a Democrat or Republican is elected in the USA. The government of Canada is the Sheriff of Nottingham, except with undertones of feminazism and devil worship.
I wanted to write this because what I have been through and continue to go through is something that could happen to anyone here. Even if the charges are eventually withdrawn or I am acquitted of everything -- I have been through hell already. This has taken a huge toll on my health and my career. Being innocent is not enough in Canada. The police are not there to help you. And lawyers only care to be good at one thing: billing. And the judges are just pretending to be fair because everything they say gets recorded.
In Canada, political correctness and passive aggressiveness is the name of the game. This place sucks.
Re: Why living in Canada sucks
Your quite right. What surprised me about living in China(communist country) was that I had more freedom than living in Canada.
Women that don't like having kids make lousy girlfriends and wives.
"Every time a President leaves the White House after two terms, there is a recession within the next year"
Re: Why living in Canada sucks
I don't know enough about China to really have a valid opinion, but I do like it. They're hardly even communist anymore. They do more trade and have more capitalism going on than the USA these days. They've got an extensive culture and history and, from what I've learned in psychology, their collective mindset is a lot different from the western's individual one.
Whereas here it is all about yourself and your achievements and how you stand out from the crowd, in China (and some other Asian countries) it is more respectable to be part of a community, and to care for each other.
In Canada, we have a huge immigration because there is such a low fertility rate. And there is a low fertility rate because having kids 'ruins' your life. In Canada, just like the USA, having an expensive cottage, a flashy car, a big bank account, fame and recognition, are by far the most sought after achievements. None of these things are benefited from having children.
In fact, children cost a lot, expect a lot, and can call children's aid at any time to make your life a living hell. The supreme court of Canada had to pass a verdict about 'spanking' because parents were getting into huge trouble when they spanked their children. It's insane.
As I said, I worked for health care. And I worked directly with a lot of elderly families who were nearing the end of their life. These people required constant nursing and other professional services in order to remain in their homes. It was VERY rare to find a family that would actually support the parents in their old age by helping them shop, cleaning the house...and when it came to bathing them or other less desirable actions, it was almost never seen. I remember this one Chinese mother who needed home care. She also had her daughter staying home a lot of the time helping her out. I remember some of the case workers saying that it was a tragedy that this daughter felt obligated to take care of her mother instead of going out with friends and living her own life. The family unit is so shattered in Canada that most Canadians have NO idea what family even means.
Needless to say, if Canada didn't supply nurses and other professional services for elderly people in their home, you would have a crisis on your hands because the families of these people would never take on that role. Forget that your mother and father changed your diaper as a child and paid for your schooling, or downpayment on your first home, or that their entire inheritance is heading your way -- taking care of them is seen as an unfair responsibility that detracts from their lives. many are resentful and equally many demand the government to take care of their families -- as though it is their entitlement.
The problem is that the government does a poor job...they over pay and they don't look too closely at how they are doing so nobody in power gets embarassed. Service isn't consistent either. Some nurses and personal support workers are very very good...others are horrible...and some providers are just managed poorly and you end up with missed visits and complete lack of continuity. This becomes a big problem when the patient has some kind of Alzheimer's or dementia. An unfamiliar, new person coming to their home every other day causes a lot of stress and fear. But then, they've got dementia and the government deems them incapable so nothing they say has any sway -- even if they could figure out how to get a lawyer and take the matter to court (which they couldn't pay for since due to their lack of capability, they are not allowed to control their own finances anymore).
Re: Why living in Canada sucks
I'm not sure this is the reason fertility rates in western countries are low. Women that practice sexual abstinence before marriage are more likely to want to get married because lack of sex for years does make them horny. The problem is they get drunk and stoned constantly which is why they sleep around a lot. However, Asia is a Canadian woman's sex prison and after living there for a few years their more likely to go home find one guy and start making babies with him.

Re: Why living in Canada sucks
After reading the original post I did not have any words to say. Because everything was said.
I am an aspiring small business man, work so hard came to this country as an Engineer in 2007 and still struggling but growing with 4 businesses.
I am having pardigm shifts every couple of years. On September 4 2015 I realized that Canada is actually a "socialistic country".
Whatever, Canada is a mediocre if not useless place to live, to do business, or to grow up.
Some things I want to throw in;
There is no train service between Calgary to Vancouver or Calgary to Edmonton. India is 1000 times better than Canada in Rail service. Yes of course Indian trains are shitty, stinking, cockroach full, beggars, vendors (and dont you prefer to go through bihar if not dare)
But someone should wash the feet of Indian Railways and drink that water to realize. (A tamil iconic clause - wash feet and drink that water)
Canada does not have any big time passenger rail service, why? - instead ask this - who in sound mind will do the investment? Donald Trump? or Tim Hortons?
Look at India, Yes the British laid some tracks, but look at the world class (ok.. ok toilets stink but does not matter) management. diviosinig, manufacture their own locomotives, carriages , (that is a separate topic, Other countries Manufacturing industry and Canadas pathetic "proudly made in Canada" - what? milk, eggs,...
India is a very good example
(Because I know only about India..eh?...or bleh? if you are drunk with rye..I mean whisky not the bread..no no ..not the city of winnipeg...yes there is bread named winnipeg rye....)
Look at all the core industries (yes India is corrupt , so what the f**k?)
Steel, Cement, Power, Hydro, Process Industries, etc etc etc
Most of them pioneered by Government (JL Nehru our first PM, I dont like that flirting asshole any way..but was a good leader, respect that)
3. CONTROL AND REGULATION, MONOPOLY (call it the strangle hold)
Any body ever heard of Canadian Wheat Board?
In 2012 Bill C-18 ended this Nazi style organization.
I will leave it to the reader to do his research and pass the judgement on this issue.
Bottom line is for 75 years if you are farmer then you have to sell your wheat to CWB only, I mean it ONLY, by law
Has anyone seen mel gibson movie the River?
(Update: Harper is selling this to a Saudi unit, Harper frequently makes garage sale out of Canada to get money and show budget surplus, In the last garage sale harper sold GM shares so he has C$ 3.4 Million in his government piggy bank)
Canadian Person 1 : Hi..
Canadian Person 2 : Hi..
Canadian Person 1 : How are you?..
Canadian Person 2 : Good and how are you?
Canadian Person 1 : Good, good..
Canadian Person 2 : Good, good...
Initially as a freshly landed immigrant I was so impressed, ..oh my god..never in India will a stranger be nice this to me, what a culture, what a courtesy?....In India people just blank stare at each other and go...
Now after 7 years and various experiences I think this is just bullshit...
it easily comes to a Canadian as it comes to an Indian who pisses in public - so easily - so cooly - so care free - so unembarrassed..
sss..aaaaahhh....sss..aaaahhhhh....there my piss is there...
there my smile is there...
That is it about Verizon Story, I am not going to write much about it.
But one thing about this story which I want to point you...THREE GUYS...remember this word Canada and all canadians and all would be immigrants.....THREE GUYS...that is all about Canada...Anything is THREE GUYS...
What is THREE GUYS..
And why do I say THREE GUYS?
Because in another Industry (Taxi Calgary) UBER and DOEPKER was trying to enter and the THREE GUYS filed a law suit
calling "Unfair competition"...what the f**k? why dont you guys say - We dont like competition because there is only 35 million people...(that is why we are deceiving the people in the world to come to Canada and be consumers...a.k.a "suckers")
Who are the 3 Guys here?
MAYFAIR, ASSOCIATED and CHECKERS...
f**k I am too tired of writing, because there is more to this mediocre country
Before I leave let me tell one more point
Out of Province Inspection for Vehicles
So you are bringing in a Car a City in Saskatchewan which rhymes with a Vagina.
You are bringing it in Alberta, now the law says that car can be a no good car..
Because one that runs in Saskatchewan may not be worthy to run in Alberta..
why? there are so many answers...like Saketchewan mechanics are crooks, the Registry there are thieves..
so Alberta wants to protect...protect what?
Influx of used cars...stupid...it is about MARKET - SUPPLY - DEMAND
MEANS TO PRODUCTION and the PRODUCT
For example a massage therapist studies 2 years in school in Alberta spends $15000 is not worthy of professing his trade in BC
unless he goes through some thing...same with Engineers
I dont have the energy to explain...
Basically they (who?) want to CONTROL CONTROL CONTROL...
They dont want any one from outside Canada
They dont want any one from other province
They dont want any one from other city
35 million people
Why only 35?
Because Canada Sucks Balls?
That is why
f**k there is no smiley for ball sukcing
Re: Why living in Canada sucks
I am now seriously thinking....
And sorry about your story..
But dont lose hope

This information is excerpted from MSF's 2017 International Activity Report.
Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) provides specialized care in Mozambique, where the frail health system is struggling to curb a dual epidemic of HIV and tuberculosis (TB).
Mozambique has one of the highest HIV prevalence rates in the world. Around 13 percent of people aged 15-49 are infected,1 and 34,000 people co-infected with HIV and TB die each year.
In Maputo, MSF cares for HIV patients needing second- or third-line antiretroviral (ARV) treatment and for those with co-infections such as Kaposi's sarcoma, drug-resistant TB, and hepatitis.
In Tete, MSF works with community treatment groups, whose members meet regularly to collect medication and support each other, and deploys a mobile mentoring team to 13 health centers.
In Tete and Beira, the team provides sexual and reproductive health services, including HIV testing and treatment for vulnerable and stigmatized groups, such as sex workers and men who have sex with men (MSM), as part of MSF's transnational 'corridor' project along transport routes between Malawi and Mozambique. In the last quarter of 2017, 1,270 sex workers and 218 MSM were followed up in both towns. Sexual, reproductive, and maternal health services were also reinforced in Morrumbula district, Zambezia province.
In Manica province, where political tensions have limited access to health care, mobile teams conducted over 14,000 consultations in 2017, mainly for malaria, diarrhea, respiratory and skin infections, and sexual and reproductive health.
New projects
Teams in Maputo and Beira are working to reduce sickness and mortality in patients with advanced HIV by improving diagnosis, treatment, and continuity of care, and supporting the laboratory and pharmacy. MSF is also running a pilot project in Maputo for people who use drugs, focusing on developing a model of care that includes comprehensive harm reduction. A third of the almost 150 patients in this pilot project are HIV positive and 20 percent tested positive for hepatitis C. Ten of the 27 patients with hepatitis C who started treatment were cured, In November 2017, the first in the country, as treatment was previously unavailable.
Responding to cholera outbreaks
MSF set up cholera treatment units in Nampula, Maputo, and Tete provinces, and supported a vaccination campaign led by the national health department that reached 297,598 people in Tete.

Three Gorges Dam is the world's largest power station generated by hydroelectric and has become a major tourist site along Yangtze River.
This incredible project is a move towards limiting greenhouse gas emission and reducing potential floods downstream with its flood storage space.
Controversially, the dam is debated to cause ecological changes as the dam is built in an area that is heavily populated, home for animal and plant species and on a geological fault line.
To date, the damn has caused several landslides which are directly linked to the filling of the reservoir:
i. The seeping of the water into the loose soil at the base of the area's rocky cliffs is destabilizing the land and makes it prone to landslides.
ii. The fluctuation of reservoir water also causing abrupt change in water pressure and thus further disturbing the land. In the summer, the reservoir is drained to accommodate flood waters and raised again during the flood season.
Besides energy production, Three Gorges Dam aims to increase shipping capacity with its unique ship lock / ship lift feature. This feature is used to raise and lower boats, ships or other water crafts between stretches of different water levels.
During the cruise, you would have the chance to experience the whole 40 minutes ship lifting process and you can watch how the mechanism works at your balcony or on the front deck. The lowering and the raising of the chamber is done by adding and subtracting the water.
Ship entering the lift –> The chamber rises to the level which levels off with the water on the high side of the dam –> Ship exiting the lift

into our present moment reality . . .
for no real reason at all except that's the story everyone's learned
and no one is creative enough to change the script.
i never read that book, it can be burned without me ever actually having done so.

Immigrant Ship Arrives in Canada
Tamil refugees arrive in Canada, one man died during trip. Smugglers suspected to have made $20 million An estimated 450 migrants from Sri Lanka arrived in British Columbia Friday aboard the MV SUN SEA, a Thai-flagged cargo ship. Canadian officials have been anticipating the arrival of this vessel, as reports months ago speculated the ship was carrying members of the Tamil Tigers, a group Canada labeled as a terrorist group back in 2006. Canadian officials reported that everyone onboard appears to be families fleeing Sri Lanka, they are however processing each migrant to determine if any are members of the Tigers. The migrants, ranging from two-years-old to seventy-years-old, were in good shape considering the months at sea in confined spaces. They have told officials that they lived off water, rice and dried fish. One man, 37-years-old, died just three weeks before the ships arrival of an apparent disease. He was buried at sea. The Tamil Tigers fought for an independent state in Sri Lanka, claiming decades of discrimination the Sinhalese majority. The conflict killed more than 80,000 people and ended after a government operation against the Tigers. Tamil leaders in Canada say the ethnic Tamil minority still faces persecution, which is why they are seeking asylum in Canada. The United Nations have reported people in Sri Lanka are still being abused. Speculation still surrounds the ship, and officials say that the refugees paid between $40,0 and $50,000 per person to flee Sri Lanka. If this is true, human smugglers may have made a profit as high as $20 million. Hearings of refugee claims began Monday in Vancouver at the offices of the Immigration and Refugee Board. The board will decide on a person-by-person basis on whether to keep the refugees in jail or grant them release to file claims to stay in Canada. Canada is home to about 300,000 Tamils, the largest Tamil community outside Sri Lanka and India. Photo Courtesy of The Globe and Mail

If you are thinking about selling your house, you could not find a more honest couple with whom to do business.
- Carole P., Arlington, Texas
I'm so blessed to have found Matt Buys Houses TX during my desperate time in struggling to heal from my loss of a dear to heart loved one. Realizing the best thing for me mentally and emotionally was to move I didn't want the stress and hassle of getting a realtor. Mr. Matt wasn't just understanding, but had the best interest at heart for me and relieved not only stress of selling my home, but quickly bought my home and made everything a comforting ease of mind with moving.
This is my 2nd home I've sold and honestly I have no regrets in the decision of going with him, and compared to the other investor I had in 2003, Matt is the best and I would highly recommend them to anyone without hesitation. Thank y'all so much for the love, understanding, and quick sale of my home to where I can now heal from my loss. May God bless you all abundantly!
- Spicee Gray, San Antonio, Texas
My home was listed with an agent for months and there were a couple offers from buyers that didn't go through. I was at my wits end when I found Matt Buys Houses TX. They made me a cash offer and closed within a week! I couldn't believe it. I wish I had found them before lising it. That would have saved me a lot of time and headaches.
- Bill J., San Antonio, Texas

Some people like it, I do not.
The weather outside is freakin' nuts.
60 mph winds have caused my disastrous backyard to look even more jacked. The fence on the side of the house had been slamming into the house all night (the latch broke) and we have a waterfall..er..mudslide on the hill behind our house.
If it keeps raining, we will have a pool. :)
I should be spending time in the house doing something creative, but it's so cold that the only thing that sounds like fun is crawling under the covers and getting warm.
Weather sucks.

A trainer's preparation for teaching is never complete as he has to maintain abreast with innovations, and adjustments, and newer developments. In-service education of lecturers has all the time been deliberate and disseminated as workers development activities. Teachers reported the in-service trainings they attended inside the last three years which have been generally focused on subject space content material and its strategies of teaching; and the 2002 Fundamental Education Curriculum; the way it needs to be delivered and graded as built-in with different topic areas. By my reckoning, even if struggle might be justified to prevent criminals and psychopaths from taking on the world, a society that is alleged to be based on the love of freedom and justice can by no means, with out being responsible of the last word in hypocrisy, resort to the wholesale destruction of societies as a result of it is too lazy to organize itself so as to reduce waste. Such habits is the sort of criminality our society claims to abhor.
Those who work in prison justice typically work long hours. That is very true for corrections officers, police officers, deputies and special brokers. These professionals sometimes work rotating, 12-hour shifts. That doesn't embrace the time essential to compile experiences of incidents that occurred throughout the work day. The private agency itself was characteristically small. The most important class of cotton mill in late 18th century Britain boasted a set capital of not more than £10,000. Its funds were provided by the informal supply of household, congregational, local or partnership funds.
Despite the fact that Conservatives would somewhat cut off their right er. left arm earlier than they'd ever put an unfunded mandate on a State, they took a page from Thomas Jefferson implementing the Embargo of 1807 and did it anyway; with a vengeance. The unfunding was so dangerous, it severely hampered the States potential to implement NCLB despite the fact that the testing and the punishments saved on going. States such as Connecticut have sued the Education Department and California College Districts have sued California for relief.
Beforehand – from 2004 to finish 2011 – NATO helped Iraq provide for its own safety by training Iraqi personnel and supporting the event of the nation's security institutions. NATO educated and mentored center- and senior-level personnel from the Iraqi safety forces in Iraq and out of doors of Iraq, at NATO schools and coaching centres. The Alliance also performed a task in coordinating presents of equipment and training from individual NATO member and accomplice international locations.
Even in Smith's day, however, his story was probably too clever by half. The basis error behind 18th-century mercantilism was an unreasonable mistrust of foreigners. Otherwise, why would people give attention to money draining out of the nation" but not the area," the town," the village," or the family"? Anyone who consistently equated cash with wealth would worry all outflows of treasured metals. In apply, human beings then and now commit the balance of commerce fallacy only when different countries enter the picture. Nobody loses sleep about the commerce balance between California and Nevada, or me and iTunes. The fallacy isn't treating all purchases as a value but treating overseas purchases as a value.

Crystallizing is a cooking process using sugar to coat fruit or flower petals as a means of preserving them. To crystallize also means to clarify—to define or to make clear. Each painting from Crystallized Sugar responds to the identifying name of an actual cake that I found in old cookbooks. While cakes honor events and rites that surely have historical or cultural significance, the significances of these cake recipes are unknown to me. My painting process is at first sculptural, and formally is based on simple geometry. I decompose found wood objects--old picture frames, serving bowls, toys, bric-a-brac--reducing the abandoned tools to basic forms. I then reassemble the parts, creating a new construction. I color the structure, using paint like icing, to unify and empower the new form. The re-purposed domestic tools and the appropriation of the dessert title permits a new read, a mnemonic intention for "cake." This series is ongoing. I have 85 complete "cakes", and many more in progress. Approximately fifty were included in a single exhibition in 2009, Director's Choice: Obsession, at Center Galleries, in Detroit, Michigan, documented by artist Gilda Snowden

I recently received a beautiful comment on this blog. An anonymous support person wrote a letter that was much more powerful than anything I could write trying to understand that point of view. Thus, I wanted to share this letter from a family member or friend of a person struggling with mental illness. Hopefully, it will touch you as much as it impacted me.
Plus, if you ever have something that you want to bring to my attention or think that I should share, let me know in a comment. I cannot promise to always blog it. However, know that I am open to hearing your voice and what you would like to see more of on this blog.
Dear loved one, family member, or beloved friend,
My name does not matter, but what I have to say does. Over the years I have watched you painfully struggle with your silent battles and juggle every label doctors hand you. I have tried to be by your side and I have not been perfect. I had no idea what you were going through, even though I tried to understand.
Really, I did.
I read countless articles on depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, eating disorders and every related article under the sun. I have studied opinions from psychiatrists, psychologists and medical professionals. I have spent hours reading blogs written by people claiming to be in your shoes. I have prayed for you on many long, sleepless nights and I have cried for you more times than I can recall. I have read all the studies and heard all the analogies about how what you are going through can be like an invisible broken leg. Really, I have tried.
The truth is, I know that I still don't always get it. In fact, I know you are very patient with me as I stumble around trying to help. I know that I have said stupid things and failed to think before I carelessly release my thoughts and opinions without realizing how they could make your battles more difficult. Even now, I stumble and question writing these very words because I want every word to build you up and not break you down. Thank you for forgiving me each time I fail to support you in the way that you need… I try because, as far as I can tell, support is what we loved ones are supposed to do.
I want you to know that I don't do it out of pity. I don't do it out of a feeling of duty or obligation. I don't do it because I would feel guilty if I ignored you.
I do it because I not only love you, but I LIKE you. The truth is that I genuinely like you as a person. You are really fun to hang out with. You are funny, charming, and make me laugh. You are intelligent and witty and make me think. You are beautiful, graceful and talented. You are brave and strong and you inspire me. You are patient and forgiving and you challenge me. You remind me that I am not perfect and you remind me that it is ok to struggle.
Because, honestly, I want to be more like you. I wish I knew that I could have that kind of strength and perseverance. I wish I could inspire people like you do. I wish I could do for other people what you did for me. You remind me what it means to be human living up to our fullest potential: GREATNESS despite the brokenness.
I love you. I know that you know that. I am here for you, I hope that you know that. But what I need you to know above all is that I AM SO THANKFUL for you. Without you, I would not be the person I am today. Your life has shaped my life and I could never thank you enough for letting me (try to) support you and most of all, to be your friend and loved one.
Please continue to be patient with me; I am only human. But please know that you are one of the greatest gifts the Lord has ever given me and I wouldn't trade our relationship for anything in the world! I love you!
All my love,
A Support Person

Are you short on time to cook during the week? Do you want to learn how to cook or hone your skills? Do you love leftovers? Is a homemade casserole straight from the freezer your idea of fast food? Oh my bacon, a cooking club is just what you need! I have decided to start a cooking club, right here in my kitchen (sometimes it's hard to get me out of the house). I love to cook but not every meal, everyday, so on Sundays I set aside an hour to make a few big, healthy dishes that I will eat over the following week. The only problem is that by the third day I'm usually pretty tired of eating the same things. What to do?
Find a friend, relative, neighbor or two that wants to get together, cook, eat and share the yummy leftovers! Working together you can make twice as much, split all the food you make between the two of you and, voilà, healthy variety!
I'm sure we all know someone who wants to eat healthfully but doesn't have time to cook every night. Someone who enjoys heating up a skillet full of delicious leftovers that will now only take a mere five minutes to go from fridge to mouth (it's like farm to table but a bit more direct.) And that's where a cooking club comes in. Next Sunday I'm inviting a couple of friends over, we will all cook, making sure there is enough for dinner and then some. We will try out some new recipes and ideas. After we eat, everyone gets to take a few servings from each of the dishes that we made. At the end of the evening we will all be well fed and well stocked with a variety of delicious heat and eat left overs for the work week!
I encourage you to get together with friends, cook good for each other and help each other eat healthfully all week. Long Live leftovers!!

3D Body Metrics - Triathlon (V1)
While the majority of the metrics are the same for a Tri/TT fit as a road one, there are a few key differences.
The major change in body angles is a much lower torso angle than on a road bike (possible thanks to moving the saddle forward).
Joint motion targets are the same as for the road position
Joint alignment is where we really see the impact of shifting the saddle forward. As a starting point aim for a Sitting Angle of 80 degrees and work from there to balance the riders comfort and ability to reach the bars.
If they are constrained by UCI rules you will need to trial cut-off saddles in order to hit the correct Sitting Angle.
If you are fitting the rider for both Road and Tri/TT bikes. The hip angle and associated metrics should fairly closely match between the road drops and aerobars positions.
The process for a Tri/TT fit is (loosely):
- Set saddle fore/aft such that their Sitting Angle is the correct range
- Refine Saddle height to minimise Hip/Knee motion and achieve correct knee/ankle angles
- Set reach to the armpads so that they are near to being under the shoulder and minimising Shoulder Lateral Travel
- Set reach to the shifters so that the riders elbows are on the pads with the shifters easily accessibly to their hands.
- Set drop based on hip/knee motion, hip angle and rider feedback
- Iterate through whichever steps are needed to hit a stable, comfortable position
Questions to ask the rider:
- Neck pain
- weight on elbows
- pressure on nose of the saddle
- Pain on outside of shoulders
Other problems to look for:
- Rider is stretching shoulders (dropped Scapula) to reach bars rather than lowering Torso (bars too low)
- Rider is moving on the saddle a lot (wrong saddle, bars too low or too long)
Note that short crank arms can make a significant difference to the sustainability of an aero position by opening the minimum knee angle and hip angle.

Gaza: Young Palestinians Lead a Global Movement
The following article, by Joe Catron, was published on PalestineChronicle.com:
This is an excerpt from the article, the entire article is here.
"The young Palestinians nowadays are very creative, in writing, blogging, video making; many, many things," said Sourani. "I am very proud of my generation. They are so creative, really. I meet and talk to anyone who does anything: maybe blogging, a site, a Facebook account, a Twitter. Youth everywhere are doing fantastic things. They just need to be linked with Palestinians ourselves."
"We want more links with people outside," said Baker. "We want more actions and more communication. The more you communicate with people, the more the idea becomes big and it grows. And BDS is growing. Citizens, and students, and young, and old, are engaging themselves in BDS, outside and inside and everywhere. It is actually, in its core, a popular struggle, and it is civil resistance."
What do they ask of outsiders? "The important thing is that they take action," Sourani replied. "This is what we are looking for. We don't look for passion, we don't look for tears, we don't look for romantic speech. We just look for actions. Whatever small action you can take is something beautiful. This is the basis of BDS, that we don't wait for talk."
"Let's mention here the the recent action taken by people in the United States diring the AIPAC speech," said Baker. "I think this was really effective, when young students stood up and spoke out for Palestine, students who had no relation to Palestinian identity, except that they understood the issue, they understood what is right and what is wrong, and they took action. Even if they knew that they might be harmed, or might get fired from somewhere. We think that this is really important, and this is a success for BDS."

Wallaby visitor a new one to vet
Dundee enjoying life on farm after long-distance diagnosis
CARROLLTON — Ghrist Vet Clinic has seen its share of creatures great and small.
But when the doors opened recently and in came a wallaby, it was a little bit of a surprise.
This wallaby, named Dundee — as in Crocodile Dundee — had white spots on its pupils. Owner Ed Nolan of Carrollton said the spots appeared overnight.
It turned out Dundee's sight was fine, although it appears to have cataracts.
"We talked to a vet in Australia who said it's caused by stress," Nolan said. "Like people, some of them get stressed more easily than others."
Dundee is back on Nolan's the farm and being treated.
Nolan along with Kosta Camden have many wallabies, all of them raised from birth. Wallabies aren't naturally friendly to people, so they have to be domesticated a little. When they get old enough, Nolan and Camden take the babies and bottle feed them.
Even when raised by people, the babies still spend all day hanging out in a pouch.
"If we didn't, they'd be too wild for anyone to be around," Nolan said.
He should know, since he's been raising the Australasian marsupials that are similar to kangaroos for about 20 years. He chose the wallabies because they are smaller than their cousins, the kangaroo.
"They get about waist high instead of being 6 foot," Nolan said.
He chose to raise Bennett wallabies. The species lives in the colder parts of the region so they take better to the temperature changes.
Wallabies aren't the only thing Nolan raises. Many know him from the traveling petting zoo he has owned for about 20 years.
"It started with potbelly pigs in the country. Then we got into the petting zoo business and then the reindeer business and went on from there," Nolan said.
He's added to the pigs and goats with mini-donkeys, llamas, camels, reindeer, Zebu — a miniature Indian cow — emus, and miniature longhorns.
The animals are kept in three locations with some of their animals staying at the Nolan's home in Carrollton and others stay at the farm in Haypress north of Eldred. Nolan keeps buffalo and deer in Quincy.
Every weekend, Nolan takes his animals on the road to different locations, such as nursing homes and events around the state.
"We go anywhere they want us to come," Nolan said.
This continues into the latter part of the year as the animals take part in live Nativity scenes and reindeer displays.

rangoli artist gurgaon – rangoli maker in gurgaon
We Make all types of Rangoli Like Flower petals Rangoli, and colors Rangoli etc all Rangoli
Rangoli is an art form from India in which patterns are created on the floor in living rooms or courtyards using materials such as colored rice, dry flour, colored sand or flower petals. It is usually made during Diwali (Deepawali), Onam, Pongal and other Indian festivals. Designs are passed from one generation to the next, keeping both the art form and the tradition alive.
Tags: rangoli artist in gurgaon, rangoli maker in gurgaon
The purpose of rangoli is decoration, and it is thought to bring good luck. Design depictions may also vary as they reflect traditions, folklore and practices that are unique to each area. It is traditionally done by women. Generally, this practice is showcased during occasions such as festivals, auspicious observances, marriage celebrations and other similar milestones and gatherings.
Rangoli designs can be simple geometric shapes, deity impressions, or flower and petal shapes (appropriate for the given celebrations), but they can also be very elaborate designs crafted by numerous people. The base material is usually dry or wet powdered rice or dry flour, to which sindoor (vermilion), haldi (turmeric) and other natural colours can be added. Chemical colors are a modern variation. Other materials include colored sand, red brick powder and even flowers and petals, as in the case of flower rangolis.
There are two primary ways to make a Rangoli, dry and wet, referring to the materials used to create the outline and (if desired) fill that outline with colour. Using a white material like chalk, sand, paint or flour, the artist marks a centre-point on the ground and cardinal points around it, usually in a square, hexagon or circle depending on region and personal preference. Ramifying that initially-simple pattern creates what is often and intricate and beautiful design. Motifs from nature (leaves, petals, feathers) and geometric patterns are common. Less common but by no means rare are representational forms (like a peacock, icon or landscape). "Readymade Rangoli" patterns, often as stencils or stickers, are becoming common, making it easier to create detailed or precise designs.

I am grateful for the winter break I've had, and the time to mentally, emotionally and spiritually reset for 2017. I used this time to catch up on some great music albums from the year and read a few books in place of social media and video games (which I still appreciate). Shout out to my parents in law for their generosity hooking me up with Amazon gift cards that have made getting these books affordable! Here are the books in the order I've read if you would like to look them up – I'd recommend any of them if you might be interested in the themes they explore.
The Next Evangelicalism by Soong-Chan Rah (Commentary on American Christian evangelicalism as it stands culturally and where it falls short and needs to grow to have any relevance in an increasingly diverse aka non-white country)
The Language of God by Francis Collins (Exploration of the beautiful harmony that exists between faith in God and the pursuit of knowledge through science, coming from the leader of the Human Genome Project and devoted Christian – a refreshing read in light of the many anti-intellectual voices that plague American Christianity)
The Dumbest Kid in Gifted Class by Dan Ryckert (A series of literally unbelievable but completely honest tales from the slightly horrifying yet infinitely amusing life of the Giant Bomb editor from Lawrence, Kansas. Definitely my light read of the break.)
Manhood Restored by Eric Mason (A ministerial guide to manhood, not defined by culture, but by the standard set by Jesus Christ)
Narrative of the life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass (The shortest read of the set, but by far the hardest. Douglass' memoir is a personal window to an integral part of America's repugnant story – the evil of American slavery and the struggle of generations of a remarkable people to be free from it. The most heavy takeaway is many of Douglass' closing reflections on American Christianity as a slave of so-called Christians could very well still apply today.)
The books I got to complete in 2016 prior to winter break in 2016 are Unashamed by Lecrae and Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates, which have also been deeply meaningful readings and worth looking into if you haven't read them yet.

in the memorial and remonstrance, written in 1785, james madison said, "during almost fifteen centuries has the legal establishment of christianity been on trial. what have been its fruits? more or less in all places, pride and indolence in the clergy, ignorance and servility in the laity, in both, superstition, bigotry and persecution." the memorial and remonstrance was written in opposition to a proposal by Patrick Henry to use government funds to support christian churches in virginia.
the principle of government neutrality in matters of religion continues to be a thorny problem in the united states, as the recent supreme court ruling in the hobby lobby case demonstrates. subsequent to that ruling and president obama's announcement of his intention to issue an executive order banning discrimination in hiring by federal contractors, several religious leaders sent the president a letter asking for a religious exemption to that rule for religious organizations that receive funds under federal contracts. this seems a reasonable request, even if one disagrees with the religious belief that lgbt citizens are violating christian teachings. should a religious organization be forced to employ those that they believe are violating the religious principles of that organization? should an lgbt person accept employment from an organization that condemns them as "sinful" because of the sexual orientation with which they were born?
the right questions, it seems to me, is: should government contracts be awarded to religious organizations? there is little doubt that some religious organizations do much good, but should the government support "faith-based" organizations by employing them to fulfill government contracts? should state governments furnish textbooks and other materials to religious schools because the parents of the students attending those schools have helped pay for those materials through the taxes they pay? should public school districts be forced to supply specialized instructional personnel in certain areas, like special education, for students in religious schools? these are all areas where we seem to have crossed the line separating church and state in the united states, and, in the case of school policy, the courts have often sided with religious organizations and against public schools.
as we, though government policy, become more entangled with religious organizations, the closer we move to establishing an official religion in the united states. the persecution complex of the religious right and the push for control of government at all levels by the advocates of dominionism seek to move us closer to the establishment of christianity as the de facto, if not the de jure, official religion of the usa.
the tax-exempt status of religious groups is another way in which all citizens are forced to support religious organizations, even those with which they disagree. why should an atheist have to pay more in taxes to make up the shortfall created by granting tax exemptions for the church, mosque, or temple down the street? why should we be able to deduct our contributions to our church from our income for tax purposes, beyond the extent that those contributions actually support charitable endeavors such as homeless shelters?
as we look at the great harm the religious dominance of governments has created around the world, madison's words from 1785 are as true now as they were then. one has only to look at religious states like iran and israel, governments identified with a particular religious groups like that of iraq or syria, and the persecution of one religious group by a more dominant group like the persecution of burmese muslims by burmese buddhists to see how right madison and jefferson were as they fought to build a wall of separation between church and state in the young united states.
may those of us who identify as members of a religious group use our influence to continue the struggle that was a part of the reason the united states came into being. may we practice our religion without infringing on the rights of others to practice or not practice religion according to the dictates of their conscience. shalom.

Vesuvius Volcano
Mount Vesuvius, on the west coast of Italy, is the only active volcano on mainland Europe. It is best known because of the eruption in A.D. 79 that destroyed the city of Pompeii. Mount Vesuvius is considered to be one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world due to the large population of the city of Naples and the surrounding towns on the slopes nearby. The volcano is classed as a complex stratovolcano because its eruptions typically involve explosive eruptions as well as pyroclastic flows. Vesuvius and other Italian volcanoes, such as Campi Flegrei and Stromboli, are part of the Campanian volcanic arc. The Campanian arc sits on a tectonic boundary where the African plate is being subducted beneath the Eurasian plate. Under Vesuvius, scientists have detected a tear in the African plate. This "slab window" allows heat from the Earth's mantle layer to melt the rock of the African plate building up pressure that causes violent explosive eruptions. In the past, Mount Vesuvius has had a roughly 20-year eruption cycle, but the last serious eruption was in 1944.

who spread the Shadows'pestilence with every whispering breath-the source of the infection, the shadow at the heart of the Shadows.
Galen focused on his target-and received a message, written in the runes of the Shadows. He translated.
At last you have come, Wierden wrote. You must take my place.
Chapter 18
Sheridan fled through dark stone tunnels, while inside him, Kosh rose up out of hiding to the surface of his mind. There, a countdown took place. One hundred ten. One hundred nine. One hundred eight. The seconds remaining to Sheridan's life. Still he searched for a way back to his shuttle, but all ways were blocked to him. All but one.
The enemy drove Sheridan into a trap. When that trap closed around him, he would call down the White Star. If the fabulist Galen had done what his words to Sheridan suggested, the Eye would be unable to stop it. Sheridan-and much of the enemy stronghold-would be destroyed.
Such a thing had not happened since the ancient agreement had been reached, since the forces of chaos and order had stopped their direct attacks upon each other. It hardly seemed possible.
The war had recurred countless times. Usually its course, its players, were clear. With their disciplined reasoning, Vorlons foresaw much before it actually occurred.
For the first time, Kosh felt the universe falling into uncertainty. He had not expected Galen's path to cross with Sheridan's. If they were successful, the consequences of Z'ha'dum's destruction were unclear. Although many would be killed, the major portion of the enemy's fleet was elsewhere. Their attacks would continue, would become more vicious and desperate. And with Sheridan gone, the alliance would degenerate into chaos. Kosh feared, too, what the Vorlons would do once they saw the
