Paper No. 5531 Dated 22-Jul-2013
By Bhaskar Roy
Bangladesh Foreign Minister Ms. Dipy Moni will be in New Delhi on July 25, 2013 on a three day visit. It is expected to be a preparatory one paving the way for Prime Minister Sk. Hasina's official visit in August at the invitation of the Indian Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh.
Paper No. 5527 Dated 12-Jul-2013
By Dr. Subhash Kapila
Bangladesh is expected to go to the polls for its General Elections with the term of the current Ninth Parliament on January 24, 2014. The present Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina came into power in January 2009 after Bangladesh had gone through a spell of two years (2006-2008) of a Caretaker Government.
Paper No. 5498 Dated 22-May-2013
It was inevitable and had to happen, because some politicians in Bangladesh have conscience.
Paper No. 5473 Dated 26-Apr-2013
By R. Upadhyay
A huge belligerent rally led by the JEI-Hind in the historic maidan of Kolkatha in West Bengal on March 30 this year has largely gone unnoticed in India.
Paper no. 5470 Dated 23-Apr-2013
In the last three months Bangladesh has plunged into a strife ridden situation where politics is being pushed by extreme religious ideas. Some foreign forces seem to relish in further provoking a situation which goes against the current global trend to eradicate fundamentalist forces and terrorism.
Paper No. 5441 Dated 28-Mar-2013
Paper No. 5429 Dated 20-Mar-2013
Bangladesh is a country poised to take off economically. True, there are serious issues of corruption, governance, shortage of power and law and order situation. None of these things are new. It will take time and patience to rectify these challenges. But if any one demands an ideal situation he is surely going to be disappointed. But these have to be addressed urgently also. It calls for realism also.

Social media has become a huge tool when hiring employees — on both the hiring and applying end. Whether you are checking out a potential employee on Facebook or posting a job opening on LinkedIn, it has become an integral part of the job search process.
LinkedIn has been the go-to social network for professionals by being an online resume that employers can look at. Now with LinkedIn's recent acquisition of Careerify, a recruitment site using technology to help employers connect with the right employee, the social platform has revamped its referral service. It is now easier than ever to track whether or not a candidate applied, completed an interview or received a job offer.
LinkedIn Referrals
Most recruiters agree the best candidates are employee referrals. They tend to be an overall better fit, take less time to hire and perform higher. Unfortunately, most companies struggle to get employees to make referrals. With this problem in its sights, LinkedIn is pleased to announce its solution. The new referral product makes it easier than ever to find quality employees. It works by taking first-degree connections who are a match for your particular jobs search. Employees can then see their connections who are matches and can refer for open positions through InMail or email.
With a small annual fee, LinkedIn Referrals can also provide powerful insights into tracking referrals, measure engagement and ROI, as well as send customized messages to employees thanking them for the referral.
LinkedIn Recruiters
But wait, there's more! In addition to the site recreating its referral service, it has added LinkedIn Recruiter, a new feature that rolled out in early November. Employers will have an easier time finding the new perfect hire using their existing employee base. With this more efficient search option, all recruiters will need to do is enter their star employees' names and they will be presented with a search string based off the employees' credentials. They can then go in and edit the list as they see fit, allowing them to quickly identify which members are a match.
If employers don't want to base their search on an employee name, they can also search different terms to create their recruiting list.. LinkedIn will then use data from the social network and provide a list of potential hires from top schools with top skills.
With all the new features to look out for this November, applying and hiring new employees will be easier than ever. So, what are you waiting for? Go get started.
Read more on all the new features that will be available here.

What are Executive Condominiums? The HDB website describes them as being "introduced to cater to Singaporeans, especially young graduates and professionals who can afford more than an HDB flat but find private property to be out of their reach. Executive Condominiums are comparable in design and facilities to private condominiums as they are developed and sold by the private developers." Essentially, an Executive Condominium has most if not all the facilities of most condos but is a 99-year leasehold rather than a freehold.
What incentive is there to purchase an Executive Condominium? If both applicants are Singapore citizens they are eligible to receive a $30,000 housing grant. If the applicants are a Singapore citizen and a PR, they are eligible to receive $20,000.
What documentation do applicants need to bring with them to the Application process? Generally, the documents required would be their NRICs, birth certificates, marriage certificates, and latest income statements. Check with your HR at work to ensure that the income statements are what is required by HDB.
What are the advantages of purchasing an Executive Condominium ? An Executive Condominium is much more similar to a private condominium, where there are facilities for owners to enjoy, which are usually restricted to residents' usage. In addition, purchasers of EC are able to apply and use the Housing Grant for the purchase of the EC unit, if they are eligible and have not not apply for it previously.
Can you rent out your Executive Condominium? You cannot rent out the EC during the minimum occupation period (MOP) of the first five years. YHou can, however, rent out rooms within the EC during this period.
What are the rules and regulations governing selling an Executive Condominium? Owners would have to fulfil a MOP of five years. No transaction is permitted before this period is fulfilled. After five years, owners can sell their units to Singapore Citizen and/or Singapore Permanent Resident, and after 10 years they can sell to foreigners. Upon selling an EC you must wait 30 months before buying any flat direct from HDB.

It's been a particularly challenging week and I realized that I needed an evening to be in my body and let go of my mental noise.
I made a date with myself for the evening. I've found that I need to schedule time for myself lately; yes, it's a strange feeling for me to schedule time with myself, but when I do I'm able to let go of my mental noise much more easily.
I began the evening relaxing, breathing and checking in with myself. Clear my head. How did I feel? What did I need? I felt my erotic energy was particularly strong. I hadn't cum in a while and had a full and energetic week with clients. Lots of erotic energy to process!
Saturdays are generally Daddy/boy days but Scratch is away on a work trip. Between his schedule and mine, we haven't had that much time together lately. I miss him, but he'll be back. Tonight was about time for me.
I decided that I needed a long, masturbation session. I really haven't done that much lately. I set an intention of doing nothing but masturbating for the entire evening. No particular goal other than simply enjoying my body and seeing where my body wanted to go.
I ended up having a great evening with myself. I edged. I gooned. I danced with myself. I moaned. I growled. I moved a lot of energy around.
One of the pieces of magic in my room is a mirror with a cumshot on it. I keep this as a reminder of the energy and healing that's possible. From time to time I recharge the mirror by removing the previous shot and reseeding it with a fresh one. It was time to reseed the mirror. My intention was to welcome change and the unknown into my life and also to let go of things that have evolved and are no longer needed in my life.
Letting go and seeding the mirror is a very powerful ritual for me. I let out a thunderous growl!
Afterwards I felt energized, relaxed, grounded and refreshed. All in all a very nice reboot!

What a moving and intimate post. It's wonderful to read about male sexuality in such a beautiful way. Thanks for sharing this, Ed…it was nice to hear that other people enjoy reconnecting with their body, too.
By the way, I hope your restoration process is working out well for you!

The Bible is not a Western book, and the world of the New Testament is not our world. The New Testament world was preindustrial, Mediterranean, and populated mostly by nonliterate peasants who depended on hearing these writings read aloud. Only a few of the literate elite were part of the Jesus movement, and they knew nothing of either modernity or the Western culture we inhabit today. This means that for all North Americans, reading the New Testament is always an exercise in cross-cultural communication. Travelers, diplomats, and exchange students take great pains to bridge the cultural gaps that cloud mutual understanding. But North American readers habitually suspend cross-cultural awareness when encountering the Bible. The result is that we unwittingly project our own cultural understandings onto the pages of the New Testament. Rohrbaugh argues that to whatever degree we can bridge cultural gaps between ourselves and New Testament writers, we learn to value their intentions rather than the meanings we create from their words. Rohrbaugh's insightful interpretations of Gospel passages go a long way toward helping to span distances between the New Testament world and the present.

A novel study has recently demonstrated that SETDB1, a member of the H3K9 methyltransferases, accelerates tumor formation significantly in a zebrafish melanoma model. However, the expression of H3K9 methyltransferases including SETDB1 and demethylases has not been systematically examined in samples of human melanoma. Here, we used immunohistochemistry to examine the expression of the H3K9 methyltransferases, EHMT2 and SETDB1, and a H3K9 demethylase, LSD1, in 67 patients with melanoma. Overexpression of EHMT2, SETDB1, and LSD1 was observed in 14 (21%), 38 (57%), and 53 (79%) of the 67 patients, respectively. A significant relationship was observed between overexpression of EHMT2 or SETDB1 and aggressive tumor behavior such as lymph node metastasis and/or distant metastasis (P < 0.05), whereas no significant relationship was evident for LSD1 immunoreactivity. Univariate log-rank tests demonstrated that patients with melanoma overexpressing EHMT2 had a poorer outcome (P < 0.001), whereas overexpression of SETDB1 or LSD1 had no prognostic impact. These results suggest that overexpression of EHMT2 might be a prognostic marker in patients with melanoma. *Department of Tumor Biology, Institute of Biomedical Science; and Departments of †Dermatology and ‡Pathology, School of Medicine, Iwate Medical University, Morioka, Japan.

The eye-candy free, bare bones looking openomy calls itself an "online file system." Despite this designation, the service doesn't support subfolder levels, but instead relies on tags to organize your files. It's completely free, with 1GB of storage for everyone, now; premium plans are in the offing. openomy has a strong developer orientation, with an open API to integrate their web apps with the service. An example is an app that lets you publish your tags as RSS feeds. The main menu even has choices for Applications You've Authorized, Applications You've Created, and Create Application.
Uploading is one file at a time, with no drag or drop. When you upload a file, it's a good idea to fill in some tags in the text box below the filename entry.
After you've successfully uploaded a file, it's super simple to create a permalink for it, which anyone can access. And they don't need to register for the service or even visit the openomy site: A simple download dialog appears when they click on the link.
One nice, if obvious, touch, is the inclusion of Search, which a lot of other services reviewed here surprisingly don't offer. But since the File Manager has no list view of your files, the Search feature turns out to be essential. We were a little surprised that the search feature doesn't search based on tags, but just on filename text.
A public files option includes virus scanning before the file will actually be made public.
An interesting side project of the service is Pageflakes, a neat, clean, customizable portal.
Though it's a nice tool for developers, average users will probably want something with a slicker interface. openomy worked fine in both Firefox and Internet Explorer, but at times uploading was slower than for other services. Continued…
|Free with 1GB and 10GB bandwidth.
|Open API; tagging.
|No subfolders; Spartan look; no drag-and-drop upload; uploading slow at time.
|Bare-bones online storage that makes heavy use of tagging and that's geared towards developers who want to integrate their web apps with online storage and tagging.

Paw (HTTP & REST Client)
Developer: Paw Inc.
Current Version: 2.3.4
Last Updated: 2 years ago
Download Size: 4.7 MB - Download
Easily build your HTTP requests, send and inspect server responses. Setup HTTP headers, URL parameters, JSON, form URL-encoded, or multipart body. Organize your requests in collection files, and generate client code.
* Order and sort requests: organize requests in groups, or automatically group by host, HTTP method or status code.
* Code generation: instantly get your client code generated by Paw. We support popular languages such as Swift, Objective-C, Python, Ruby or PHP. Also, you can get or build more templates via Extensions.
* Dynamic Values make your requests smarter so you can compute OAuth 1 or 2 or Amazon S3 signatures, randomize strings, extract a value from a previous JSON, XML or form URL-encoded response. With the new Extensions, you can run JavaScript code in Paw to compute whatever value you need.
* Authentication: Paw has native support for HTTP Basic Auth, OAuth 1 & 2 and Amazon S3. Other authentication schemes can be implemented via Extensions.
* Environments: parametrize your requests with "environment variables" and switch between your preset environments to seamlessly make your variable take appropriate values. Ideal to setup production or test servers, or have multiple users profiles.
* Cookies & Sessions: cookies received from servers are persisted, and automatically sent back in the next requests. Use several Cookie Jars to keep multiple user sessions. Modify or delete cookies to tweak the requests, or completely disable cookie support.
* Extensions: write custom JavaScript code to make Paw even more flexible. Either you want to quickly write a quick-and-dirty script to compute a custom hash, or build a ready-to-use Dynamic Value to fit your proprietary authentication scheme and share it with your users, it won't take you long to learn how to build Paw Extensions. Extensions can be either Dynamic Values to add flexibility to your requests, Code Generators to generate client code or Importers to bring 3rd party data into your Paw Collections.
* Importers: import other file formats into Paw. We already support import from Postman, Advanced Rest Client, HAR, Swagger, cURL commands and thanks to the Apiary team, API Blueprint is also available.
* JSON Outline Viewer & Editor: edit requests or view responses in a beautiful integrated JSON editor.
* Warnings: Paw will never leave you alone! If you make something strange, it will warn you and often suggest a way to fix that issue (e.g if you send a body in a GET request, it will suggest to change it to POST).
* History: the requests you've sent along with the server responses are saved in the History, so you can access previous HTTP exchanges to compare with newer results.
* Completion: Paw has a rich database of preset HTTP headers to suggests, and remembers your previous custom entries. It also suggests the available Dynamic Values and Environment Variables.
* Accuracy: Paw has it's own HTTP library that allows you to preview is exactly what is going to be sent, and what the server returns is exactly what you see. Headers are kept as is, in the same order, bodies can be seen as raw or even hexadecimal data.
Release Notes:
* Adds request timing in the Info tab (DNS resolution time, SSL handshake time, time to header, etc.)
* Adds "charset=utf-8" by default for text bodies
* Allows empty HTTP header values
* Fixes HTTP redirections with relative URLs leading to redirect loops
* Adds a "Get Debug Info" menu item to help us with debugging issues
* Fixes display of alert & file picker sheets from a popover
* Fixes issue with OAuth 2 when server returns a null refresh token
* Improves user flow by selecting the URL field by default
* Fixes Export Cmd+Shift+E shortcut
* Fixes a UI bug when using the horizontal split view mode
* Fixes export HTTP code when containing passwords
* Fixes issues with URL encoding
* Fixes crashes & beachballs
Most Helpful Reviews
200 OK? 200 AWESOME. - "I really should buy Paw — it looks so nice. Ehh, I'll make due with Postman. Or maybe RESTed today. Or HTTPie!" These are some of the conversations I occasionally had with myself in my head over the last year or so debating if I really should spend the $30 on Paw when there are some "good enough" competitors. After fighting with OAuth one day, I was frustrated. Vulnerable. Would buying Paw magically fix my woes? I decided to find out. At once, the clouds parted, the bits flowed like wine, HTTP requests were released like doves, and all was right with the world.
Does not work even for simple requests - This application cannot retrive even the most simple get requests. I am getting always , Socket closed by remote peer, asking for simplest GET Urls.
More Reviews for Current Version
Can't do my job without it! - I literally can't do my job, easily, without it. Yes, I know I can curl statement it through terminal and have in the past, but this application makes it a hell of a lot easier. You need it...
great client with missing gzip support - Great client - I wish to give it 5 starts but it will only happen when it gets support for GZIP compression/decompression.

Mighty No. 9 Has Been Delayed Due to Matchmaking Issues
The greater the anticipation the more there are the chances of a game being delayed – or at least that is what the recent delays have been telling me. Once more, Mighty No. 9 has been delayed and the game will not be making it to the markets on the promised February release date – despite promises to the contrary by Keiji Inafune.
Comcept says that although they have been working day and night to meet the deadlines, there are some issues relating to the network modes that are holding them back.
Keiji Inafune took it upon himself to announce that although he wasn't sure about the release date right now but the team was expects "it to realistically be in Spring 2016."
Unfortunately, we have an announcement that will be very disappointing to all of you. In preparation for the February release of Mighty No. 9 we have been working hard with our partners to resolve any network issues and porting work necessary to publish Mighty No. 9 on the various platforms. However, the issues relating to the network modes were more critical than expected, and it has become apparent that we will need to delay the game from its February 9th release date.
Some of the problems that have caused the delay are rooted in the bugs that the Mighty No. 9 network modes are facing. The developers have not been able to fix up matchmaking which he agrees are a "result of miscalculations on the part of… the development staff."
The game is being developed for a large number of platforms which is making it tough to iron out issues with matchmaking and since they are using Unreal Engine 3, that no longer gets updated, they are having to do the coding manually and/ or reprogramming parts of the engine.
The community, as you can see from their Kickstarter page's comments section, is pretty pissed at this; even last time the developers had to announce a consolation prize to fans who had been affected by the original delay.

Will Body Fat Decrease When On Gluten-free Diet?!
munkee41182 replied to Vlo1980's topic in Gluten-Free Diet & Weight IssuesI was a supid college kid who went off the diet (strict on it for a few years). I aws at my skinniest just before I went off the diet. Met my husband, went off the diet, and by the time I got married, and just ewnt back on the gluten-free diet I was at my heaviest. That was 9 months ago....still struggling to get the weight off. I told H after this weekend, I'm done with the processed foods (I'll keep a few boxes of gluten-free mac n cheese around just incase I need some craptastic food). And to think...my cousin who also is celiac lost a whole lot of weight before she as diagnosed. Me, I gained. We even compare symptoms and hers are a lot different than mine when we get glutened. Crazy how this disease works!

But I remember reading somewhere once upon a time that it was not gluten-free. At least I don't have to worry so much about it anymore. Thanks for the clarification
Blue Cheese Arguement
munkee41182 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Ingredients & Food Labeling IssuesI've always been told that Blue Cheese is not gluten free, it's made out of molded bread I believe....but more and more I see restaurants say that their Blue Cheese dressing is gluten-free. Can someone help clarify this for me? Are there some blue cheeses that are gluten-free?

Anyone 20+ Years gluten-free? Many Questions
munkee41182 replied to Lisa16's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithWhat is the best advice you can give somebody starting out? Don't cheat!!! not worth it even if you feel better! I went off the diet for 2 years because I never had many symptoms when I was diagnosed (family history was the cause for testing). Then i started reading more about it - and notice that I had a lot of symptoms that they don't really tell you about - brain fog was the main one as well as increased temper. I've been back on the for almost a year, and feel a whole lot better. Less temper, I can complete my thoughts. Have you noticed over time periods of sensitivity or greater tolerance? I've actually started to get a greated sensitivity. One night I was craving mexican....went down the street with my husband, got a chimichanga and a margarita. Didn't ask about gluten-free, didn't really care. Literally after eating the chimichanga and margarita, we walked home, I walked upstairs and vomited like I just drank an entire bottle of tequila (when I only had ONE margarita) Have most of the secondary issues cleared up or do some persist? Which ones? Brain fog! Constipation/hardened stools (you don't know how happy I am now that I can go to the bathroom without pain). Both of these have cleared up. And my belly is flat again (squee!!!). I'm just glad I don't have to dodge the "are you pregnant" question anymore. Have you become less or more vigiliant over time? Do you ever kind of "relax" into it? I might be thinking of the wrong "relax" but I'm more comfortable about going out to eat with friends/family at restaurants. They usually let me pick the place or they'll do research on their own so i can enjoy some gluten-free goodness when we go out. How many times do you get glutened per year (approx)? Is this pretty constant? I say probably about 5 times a year, usually through cross contamination (steeling a french fry or two from my husband's plate) Do the glutenings remain constant in terms of their nature? Or do they improve? It depends, Usually if I have alcohol in me, the glutenings are worse. If i don't have a drink or two when I am glutened, I get a belly...if I have a drink or two (like above with the margarita) I end up vomiting....which never happened before. What is the best way you have found to cope with social situations? Bring my own food, something I can eat, eat before I go. That's abut it What is the best way you have found to explain the disease (or do you?) Did your family and friends ever totally "get it"? My family gets it only because there are 3 others that have celiac. Some of my friends don't get it, one of them knows another girl with celiac, but she doesn't care about cross contamination (if someone orders sandwiches for lunch, she'll take the meat right off the bread). So she doesn't understand why she can do it, and why I can't. (or should I say, why she does and I won't do it) Do you ever eat out? If so, where? Oh yes - a lot....we usually stick to chili's or uno's, but that's only because we like those types of places. I usually google or use the search function to find out restaurants if we want to try something different.
Almost 3 Yr Old - Can She Have Celiac's When No One Else Does?
munkee41182 replied to Genna'smom's topic in Celiac Disease - Parents of Kids or Babies With Celiac DiseaseMy cousin was in and out of the hospital from age of 3 to 6 years old. Diagnosis - Celiac. Since her diagnosis, myself, aunt and grandmother have all been diagnosed - and it's been about 20 years since my cousin was diagnosed. It comes from my father's side, but he doesn't have it (according to him) - but he's been showing more sympoms lately of celiac. It's possible that your other children/future children might get it. it's also possible that your neice and nephews might get it as well. It is genetic as pp had said.
Iud Options
munkee41182 replied to melmak5's topic in Celiac Disease - PregnancyI developed more acne after I went off the pill and had an IUD put in - I'm chalking it up to decrease in hormones that was helping with the acne. I feel like i'm 14 again! I also felt dizzy after, the doc said that I didn't need a ride home, I'm glas my H was with me when i had it in. I went upstairs, took 4 advil (per doc order) and crashed into bed for about 2 hours, got up, ate and my head felt a whole lot better!

House Passes Bill that Gives Bankrupcy Judges Authority to Revise Mortgages
Today the House approved a bill (234-191) that would give bankruptcy judged authority to dictate, I mean change, the terms of the loan for home owners that are under water or upside down on their mortgages.
Simply stated, it means the borrower owes more on his home than what the current market value of the home is.
Bankruptcy judges will have the ability (assuming it passes the Senate) to wipe out the portion of the debt that is under water. For instance, if John Smith took out a 200,000 mortgage to by his home in 2005, but current market conditions now dictate that the homes value is now 140,000 the judge can adjust the mortgage, payments and interest, to reflect the current market value of 140,000.
First let me say to the 92% of Americans that pay their mortgages on time and bought homes they could afford, sorry suckers you should have have purchased bigger homes in more affluent areas.
This is wrong on so many levels I can hardly determine where to begin. First and foremost judges are just that…judges. They are not accountants, bankers or realtors. The banks that hold these mortgages can't not realize these losses.

Discussion in 'UPS Discussions' started by Integrity, Feb 15, 2011.
To All,
What does recognizing work groups for 0 injuries/0 accidents accomplish?
...you mean other than the sense of pride in a job well done and done safely?
What I mean is, in your opinion, what does recognizing a work group for 0 injuries/ 0 accidents accomplish?
I am taking your answer to be, that in your opinion, recognizing a work group for this provides a sense of pride in a job well done and done safely within the recognized work group.
Please forgive me and correct me if I am putting words down for you.
Thanks so much for contributing to this discussion thread!
to me it means a higher chance of one of my people winning whatever item they're raffling off that week
i want the nail clippers{30 years}
in my neck of the woods, it's a welcome break from the usual am meeting beat downs we get from our center manager.
Add one more 0. Because that's what it means to me. It is yet another program undermined with corporate deceit. Example. USA today publishing UPS safe driving records. When, in fact, thousands of accidents have been swept under the rug to protect the integrity of these so called "safe drivers". It's a sham and a shame. Okay, you had to ask.
Lower Insurance rates maybe?
Time on the clock. Keep talking!
Recognition, huh, yeah
What is it good for
Absolutely nothing
Say it again, y'all
(Thanks to Edwin Starr)
Perpetuates my employment and preserves my health.
Aside from that all it does is create the illusion that my management team is doing something right.
It's this factoid that makes me want to drive my package car into a telephone pole.
All 0/0 means is the on cars have nothing else to do, so they will be looking at the telematics a little closer. It means they will be following you even more.
You get doughnuts on Fridays.
Or a bridge pylon. We have 40 awards sitting in some room.
I think some of the receivers have left the building, retired. Im still waiting for my 26 yr of service, Sept 2010, and my 18? yr of safe driving. Guess its really important,.
Sandwiches on Friday made by the center manager.. Not many people took them. We didn't know if the center manager's hands were clean.
Well I am shocked....yall still get food? WTH! Awards for drivers are now given to preloaders to put on drivers seat now. LAME
UPS's current safety program is so childish and so moronic that it is impossible to take it seriously in any way.
The program accomplishes nothing except to allow those who administrate it to perpetuate the illusion that they are doing something worthwhile.
Below is a copy of a post on another thread that actually has more bearing here.
In the past, I have disagreed with Sober on the negativity he has shown the process of safety at UPS. While I know things are run differently in different places, the over all concept should work if both the employer and employee work together.
One thing that also undermines any real meaning to safety awards is the uneven application of chargable vs nonchargable accidents. And of course, no matter how you are injured, you should have been able to avoid the injury, regardless of whether you could or not.
What you perceive as negativity is merely me insisting that we be honest and call a spade a spade.
We dont have a Safety Committee. What we have...is a Keter Audit Compliance Committee that masquerades as a Safety Committee.
I agree with you 100% that the process should work if the employer and the employee work together. But you and I both know that that will never actually happen, because "working together" requires compromise and teamwork and a willingess from both sides to give and take on certain issues. UPS has made it abundantly clear that, as far as the Safety Committees are concerned, there will be no changes made to company equipment, facilities, polices or procedures. So in my mind, there is little point in participating in a Committee that will never be allowed to accomplish anything meaningful in the first place.
I agree with you as to the current lack of Integrity in the Safety Committees.
The committees are collectively bargained joint committees.
Why do you think the Union has allowed them to become committees that serve the company and not the employees?

does majesty of the seas have a shuttle to airport?
Was wondering if we needed to rent a taxi or if the ship itself has a shuttle that goes back and forth between their dock and the miami airport. If so, where do we get it? Thanks, Fiona
Re: does majesty of the seas have a shuttle to airport?
You can purchase a cruise line transfer. If you purchase your air from the cruise line it will be included. A cruise line representative will meet your plane. If you purchased your air on your own then you can purchase a transfer, separately. Contact your travel agent and they will arrange for the transfers. There will be a charge for this. I cannot give you the exact charge.
In regard to taxis, you would need to follow the signs for ground transportation and taxis.
Most cruises also allow you to purchase a transfer from the ship, after the cruise, from the pursers desk. You can purchase this during the cruise.
When you leave the ship you will pick up your luggage and then be directed to the bus to the airport. If you are doing a taxi I suggest having a porter handle your luggage and get a cab for you. It's worth the tip, especially if you are not familiar with the port.
Take care,

Motion of Sun:
When we look at the sun it seem to be moving around us in a circle, the vector SE (the straight line drawn from earth (E) to sun (S)) rotate with its earth end (E) fixed.
Motion of Mars:
When we look at mars it seem to be describing a "loop-the-loop" motion (also known as retrograde motion) as shown in the picture below:
This puzzle (retrograde or loop-the-loop motion of mars as observed from earth) is easily explained in the above physlet by comparing the motion of the planet mars in the two models: heliocentric and geocentric. Watch the vector EM (the green line drawn from earth to mars) in both models as the simulation runs. In geocentric model the the E end of this vector is fixed, whereas in the heliocentric model it moves around the sun; however in both models the vector EM remains identical to each other at any given time (same length. and direction). The relative positioning of all three (sun, earth and mars) is the same in both models throughout. Thus the retrograde motion of the mars confirm the heliocentric model.
There was an earlier attempt (developed by Ptolemy (87 - 150 A.D.)) to explain this retrograde motion: here the planets moved around small circular paths (epicycles) that in turn moved around larger circular orbits around the Earth. This accounts for retrograde motion, as shown in the animation below:
In its final form, the model was extremely complicated, requiring many nested levels of epicycles, and with even the major orbits offset so that they were no longer truly centered on the Earth. Despite all of this fine tuning, there remained significant discrepancies between the actual positions of the planets and those predicted by the model.

Michael Sheen as David Frost and Frank Langella as Richard Nixon in Frost/Nixon
Frost/Nixon is one great scene surrounded by a Ron Howard picture. Whether that's good news or bad news depends on your patience for the director's trademark incapacity for subtlety or nuance. I have little, but in this case he's a bit less irritating and obvious than usual. The truth is, he probably lacks the imagination and inventiveness to really ruin Peter Morgan's simple but effectively dramatic original play. Besides, that one scene is strong enough (it's the climax of the film and it's likely to be repeated during the Oscar-cast if Frost/Nixon is nominated) that the movie finally works as entertainment even if it ultimately fails to shed new light on a key chapter in American history.
Centering on BBC TV personality David Frost's historic 1977 interviews with disgraced US president Richard M. Nixon, the story is broken into several dramatic segments. Frost (Michael Sheen who originated the role on stage) first has to prepare for the interviews and simultaneously raise the money to mount the television broadcast. Then, once the interviews begin, he has to draw the wily, stonewalling Nixon (Frank Langella also reprising his stage role) into an admission of guilt and hopefully get the former president to apologize to the American people. Will Frost give the people what they want (what they really, really want) and save his career or will Nixon simply use the interviews to rehabilitate his image in the eyes of the public?
The outcome of the drama is a part of the historic record, but it is slickly mounted and fairly compelling stuff whether or not you already know how it turns out. On the other hand, the opening half dealing with Frost and his preparations for the broadcast aren't nearly as interesting as the second half. Sheen does a fine job of capturing Frost, but the TV talking head isn't that fascinating of a character.
Luckily, these early scenes are buoyed somewhat by Sam Rockwell and Oliver Platt as two members of the team charged to prepare Frost for his duel with the Nixon. The two have good chemistry, an easy rapport and a knack for the welcome humor they're asked to deliver. Together they go a long way toward livening up a film that mostly revolves around men in rooms talking.
It should also be noted that Toby Jones turns in an amusing impersonation of literary agent Swifty Lazar, but it's a tiny role and the character is mainly around to provide a little color.
Less successful are Rebecca Hall and Kevin Bacon. Both are fine actors, but they're not given much to do. Hall especially is wasted as Frost's girlfriend Caroline Cushing. She provides a nice alternative to the man-to-man conversations, but like Jones she otherwise feels superfluous. As Nixon aid Jack Brennan meanwhile, Bacon is saddled with the role of an ornery, grown up Boy Scout. He gets to bluster and grumble about liberals as he tries to protect his hero Nixon, but he's playing a type rather than a person here.
Finally there is Frank Langella. As the most interesting character in the story he's the key to the film, but for 3/4s of the runtime his performance felt stiff and forced. He has some amusing bits of business as he toys with the people around him, but he doesn't feel like a fully fleshed character. A little too outsized, it's a performance that probably worked great on stage. Blown up on the big screen however, Langella is frequently too much. Hunched over and lurking around the shadows like a wounded scorpion that still has one sting left, he holds your attention but he doesn't feel like a real human being – that is until the story's all important climax.
For the scene where Frost has Nixon on the ropes and the former president finally (seemingly for the first time) confronts the damage he did to his country, Langella is held almost completely in close-up and for a few fleeting moments he's transformed into Nixon the confessor. It's a powerful, cathartic moment and a fully convincing performance that ultimately saves the film and makes it worth seeing. Can one scene make a movie? Sometimes. In this case, yes.
The rest of the film is not bad and Howard is mostly on his best behavior, only occasionally lapsing into the obtuseness that plagues so much of his work. I don't know if he's just dense or if he willfully plays to the lowest common denominator in order to enhance his image as a populist filmmaker, but he has a nasty habit of going for the obvious and for over-amping dramatic moments when subtlety and restraint are called for. In the case of Frost/Nixon, he occasionally favors telling the story rather than showing it. Worse still, he tells you a thing and then he shows it to you just in case you didn't get it. For example, one character remarks how Frost was a master of the TV medium and then Howard cuts directly to a scene showing Frost exercising said mastery. It's insulting.
There's also a dubious bit of psychobabble (that's probably Morgan's fault) drawing parallels between Frost and Nixon and dramatizing them in a late night phone call that feels made up. It's all a little too tidy and easy to carry away.
I'm nitpicking now however. For the most part, Howard seems to respect the material and he keeps his baser instincts in check for what amounts to one of his better recent efforts. It's unfortunate that he's incapable of elevating the drama into something profound, but sometimes it's enough to simply entertain. Here Frost/Nixon succeeds.

Moon Rising on a Fall Day
I've been really liking this old style a lot recently. Maybe because I keep thinking about getting out more with that new Polaroid 600 camera that I got some film for. A great fall day, leaving the apple orchard, seeing a nearly full moon rising over a corn field and farm, pretty quintessential Midwest scene I feel.

The Turning Point
For all Christians alive today, the turning point of our lives began with the events that happened before we were even born. Those events tell a powerful, true story … one that completely changed our lives.
Nearly two thousand years ago, a child was born. His birth was unlike any other before or since. His mother was a virgin who, through God's power, became pregnant without ever having intercourse. This child was Jesus — God's one and only Son.
Jesus grew up just like anyone else, except for one important thing. He never thought, or said, or did anything wrong. When Jesus was thirty years old, he began telling people what God his Father was like. He told people how they could have a relationship with God by turning away from sin and believing in him. And he showed God's great kindness by healing the sick, restoring sight to the blind, and even bringing dead people back to life.
Everything Jesus did was good and right, but some people still hated him. They falsely accused him of crimes. Finally they persuaded their ruler to kill him by nailing him to a rough, wooden cross. Jesus hung from that cross until he died. Heartbroken, his friends buried him. But three days later an astounding thing took place … God raised Jesus from the dead! During the next forty days, over 500 people saw Jesus — solid proof that he really was alive again. Then, with many watching, he rose through the skies to his Father to take his place as ruler over all the universe. (Used by permission from Sovereign Grace Ministries)

Say you liked this guy, and one day he ask if you wanted to go to this party that's going on tonight. But, he doesn't call you that night to invite you to the party. Instead, he text you 5 days after getting your number. How would you react to this? What would you do, or how would you reply?
Most Helpful Girl
Basically, if he wasn't interested enough to call that night (or even show up because it sounds like someone got stood up), and then not call for another whole WEEK after the fact, he's not worth the time.
Bottom line: if he was that bad on follow-through just for a party, can you imagine how unreliable he'll be in a relationship? That's the first thing I think when I've been in that situation.00|00|0

|Uncleaned FUD is translucent
They are relatively brittle, especially when features are thin. The material is heat resistant up to 80°C / 176°F degrees.
During printing, Frosted Detail and Frosted Ultra Detail products are supported by a waxy material that is dissolved after printing is complete.
Wax is mostly removed by Shapeways with ultrasonic bathes. But the model remains waxy when shipped.
This wax must be removed before painting. The residual wax makes the plastic translucid. Once cleaned, the model becomes white.
PLEASE NOTICE : Never apply water or air hotter than 50 ° C / 125°F
|Warm water bath with soap
I recommend using a plastic bucket when rinsing and brushing. If you broke a part, don't panic, you will not loose it, and could glue it with cyan glue. Glue broken parts only when cleaning is finished.
Then alternate chemical liquids or sprays and warm bathes. Let the model dry between each cleaning cycle.
Chemical liquids successfully tested:
• medical isopropanol (IPA)
• stove cleaning spray
• stain remover for clothing
• acetone free nail polish remove
I use mostly isopropanol and stove cleaning spray.
Household detergents have mostly small effect on wax, but soap helps to rinse the model properly.
After a chemical cleaning always rinse with water. Then using a low pressure compressed air source to blow out any blocked holes.
Once cleaned, the print will loose its translucent aspect and becomes white.
|Stove cleaning spray is a good wax cleaner
US friends have told me that products called Bestine, Goo-Gone or De-Solve are working well. They are not available here.
In this video a modeler use Bleche-White tyre cleaner in a video, but you must be much more careful with the toothbrush than this guy: http://youtu.be/mVYnbsnoB3Q
Aceton and Mineral/white spirit dissolves perhaps the wax but also softens the plastic leading to breakage and failure.
Avoid hot water or hot air.

|Cellular life emerged ∼3.7 billion years ago. With scant exception, terrestrial organisms have evolved under predictable daily cycles owing to the Earth's rotation. The advantage conferred on organisms that anticipate such environmental cycles has driven the evolution of endogenous circadian rhythms that tune internal physiology to external conditions. The molecular phylogeny of mechanisms driving these rhythms has been difficult to dissect because identified clock genes and proteins are not conserved across the domains of life: Bacteria, Archaea and Eukaryota. Here we show that oxidation-reduction cycles of peroxiredoxin proteins constitute a universal marker for circadian rhythms in all domains of life, by characterizing their oscillations in a variety of model organisms. Furthermore, we explore the interconnectivity between these metabolic cycles and transcription-translation feedback loops of the clockwork in each system. Our results suggest an intimate co-evolution of cellular timekeeping with redox homeostatic mechanisms after the Great Oxidation Event ∼2.5 billion years ago.

Skip to comments.Texas church challenging city code preventing Sunday worship
Posted on 05/11/2010 5:03:15 AM PDT by markomalley
A small Protestant church in Leon Valley, an enclave within the city of San Antonio, is challenging a zoning code that prohibits the church from holding Sunday worship services. The city code excludes religious assemblies from some zoning areas because they decrease the citys tax revenue and interfere with commercial activity.
In 2007, revisions to the city code excluded churches from most of the city to maximize tax revenues, the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty reports. Auditoriums, convention centers, private clubs and schools are free to locate in the citys retail zones, but churches are not.
The Elijah Group, an Evangelical Christian church, bought an existing church building in the citys retail zones and so ran afoul of the new code.
On Monday the Becket Fund filed a brief in a federal appeals court defending the right of the church group to hold worship services in its building.
It is shocking that a church would not be allowed to hold church services because they are not profitable to the city, commented Lori Windham, Senior Counsel at the Becket Fund.
The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 reportedly requires cities to treat churches on equal terms with secular assemblies.
Windham said Leon Valleys claim has enormous implications for churches across Texas and would set a precedent allowing cities to treat churches worse than secular assemblies.
Well as long as it is more money for the city, who cares about rights. See Keller.
The non-Constitutional concept of "Separation of Church and State" now means that government has an obligation to remove all evidence of the Christian faith from the public sphere.
".... nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof.."
But...the Constitution. Freedom of assembly. First Ammendment...it's mind boggling what is going on in this country.
This article should have some names attached to it. Who are the city council members that brought this forth? Who sponsored it? Names are purposely left out, imo. It's time people went on the attack against these local tyrannies.
The city could raise more money by feeding the Christians to the lions and charging for tickets if money is the overriding concern here.
That would be Kelo.
If one professes to be a follower of Christ, they can forget about being appointed to any Federal Office. The others are welcomed with open arms.
I used to live in Leon Valley. It had its own library.
This is one side of the story. Let's not jump through our butts before we hear the other side.
From Religious group in Leon Valley, Texas fights to hold weekend services
Today, the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty filed a brief in federal appeals court defending right of the Elijah Group, a small Evangelical Christian church in Leon Valley, Texas, to hold worship services in its own church building. According to Leon Valley, the church is welcome to use its building for a day care and counseling center five days per week, but the local zoning code prohibits the church from holding worship services on Sunday. Religious assemblies are excluded from the relevant zoning area because they allegedly interfere with commercial activity and decrease the citys tax revenue.
It is shocking that a church would not be allowed to hold church services because they are not profitable to the City said Lori Windham, Senior Counsel at the Becket Fund.
In 2007, the City of Leon Valley revised its zoning code to exclude churches from most of the city. It did so to maximize tax revenues. Auditoriums, convention centers, private clubs, and schools are free to locate in the citys retail zones, but churches are not. When the Elijah Group bought an existing church building and tried to hold services there, it ran afoul of the citys new zoning law.
A federal law, the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000, requires cities to treat churches on equal terms with secular assemblies. But Leon Valley says it can treat churches differently because they dont produce revenue like other uses.
From Court Rejects RLUIPA and Other Challenges To Refusal To Rezone :
In Elijah Group v. City of Leon Valley, 2009 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 92249 (WD TX, Oct. 2, 2009), a Texas federal magistrate judge recommended dismissing challenges under various provisions of RLUIPA, the 1st and 14th Amendments and the Texas Religious Freedom Restoration Act to a zoning ordinance of the City of Leon Valley, Texas. A church building that had been operating under a special use permit was foreclosed on by a bank and the building was leased by the bank to a different church which originally had wanted to buy the property. The sale was not finalized because the city had changed its zoning law to totally preclude church assemblies as a permitted use in areas zoned for "retail" use, and had refused the bank's request to rezone the area. The magistrate concluded that nothing requires the city to change its zoning Master Plan and rezone property just because the applicant is a church. He said: "Nothing in the RLUIPA or case law suggests a church is unreasonably limited just because it is excluded from a zoning district it prefers." Otherwise a zoning law would be required to permit churches everywhere.
I don't know if anybody around here has a Justia or Lexis-Nexus subscription and can look up the references...
That is the stupidest thing I have heard all morning
Not just government, society. Even underground.
There was a city that was going after persons who were holding religious gatherings in their homes.
We moved to the city court room, which was OK but losing in court felt bad. Sometime later the doctor who forced the court action, committed suicide, the reason for that I never found out either.
That's out of the blue. There are churches throughout San Antonio, and many are near retailers, especially since the city went crazy building strip malls.
I believe it.
Nestled next to the mounting construction on Bandera Road(Hwy 16), amid several businesses along Leon Valley's main thoroughfare, sits a seemingly vacant dome-shaped building once known as the Church on the Rock, now called the Restoration Center.
Since 1996 the property has been home to various church congregations, but its most recent owners, the Elijah Group Inc., have found themselves pushing litigation with the city over the legality of worshiping there.
The city claims a church is no longer allowed on the property due to zoning regulations, but the owners contend the city has unconstitutionally stacked the zoning deck against churches in general, pushing them away from higher-priced land and toward the fringes of town.
In 2003 the city adopted a master plan that recommended religious assemblies receive Business 2 zoning, which could also allow for a multitude of retail businesses. The land at 6401 Bandera Road was zoned accordingly but a 2007 change to the zoning rules restricted religious assemblies to property zoned Business 3, which also allows storage units and warehouses.
The previous owners had to obtain a special use permit that allowed them to continue worship services in the two buildings that sit on nearly 4 acres. Such a permit was not available to churches under the new ordinance, but the congregation's use of the property was grandfathered. When it left, the new owners could continue using the land for worship services until the permit expired, according to the city.
The Elijah Group bought the property last October after the Church on the Rock vacated the premises in July 2007. According to the Bexar Appraisal District, the Happy State Bank foreclosed on the property in September 2007. But Ryan Henry, the attorney defending the city against the Elijah lawsuit, said the official date of abandonment was Oct. 28, 2007, more than four months after the church was vacated.
Under the city ordinances, the property is considered abandoned and any uses cease 120 day after the property is vacated, Henry said. Even if the use had been resumed in that time period, the SUP permit application wouldn't necessarily transfer over.
The new owners tried to get the land rezoned back to B-2, but the zoning commission and the council rejected the request.
Henry said the Elijah Group purchased the facility intending to eventually open an elementary school and day-care facility. It obtained a temporary certificate of occupancy to operate a day-care center but never opened one and began conducting church services instead, he said. The document allowed the owners to connect utilities but not to actually occupy the buildings because the structures needed repairs.
City officials and staff said they could not comment on the pending litigation.
The city's stance is that currently they cannot legally utilize the premises for church purposes, Henry said. And no final certificate of occupancy for any use has been approved.
The city is attempting to give them the opportunity to rectify as many issues as they can, he added.
The owners say the issue goes beyond just one church and one piece of land.
We're alleging that their zoning ordinances are discriminatory and unconstitutional against churches in Leon Valley, said the attorney for the Elijah Group, Daniel Whitworth of San Antonio.
The city's motives are financial, the church has argued, describing in court documents comments by City Manager Lanny Lambert about the land being prime real estate. Before the Elijah Group purchased the property it was aware there might be legal problems, said Darryl Crain, the Restoration Center's pastor, who said he had several meetings in which Mayor Chris Riley and city staffers alluded to Leon Valley's financial concerns.
So they told me they're in a situation where all the expansion is going toward (Loop) 1604 and Helotes area, Crain said. And they're left with the dilemma of, they're landlocked. ... This is from my meetings with them, they're landlocked. And like all small communities they have a dilemma: They can increase property taxes on businesses or they can increase (residential) property taxes and, of course, nobody wants that. So they're looking for more revenue in their businesses.
We did not want to get into litigation, he continued. And we want to work with the city. We're not mad at anybody. We understand their situation, that their taxes are like a lot of cities, especially now with the economy, businesses are hard pressed. We completely understand that. ... We want to work with the city to assist in every avenue, spiritual, financial, whatever we can do. The thing is that this is not an opinion, this is an absolute hard and fast law that has been violated here.
Whitworth said Leon Valley is sending a clear message that more churches aren't wanted in the city.
There have been cases all over the county, state and federal, Whitworth said. The law is pretty strong on the fact that you cannot exclude a church from an area for economic issues or tax issues or retail issues. So what the city has done is basically passed an unconstitutional zoning law that is going to apply to anybody that wants to purchase that church.
What they're doing, he added, is sending a clear message to churches that, We don't want churches in Leon Valley,' because who wants to operate in an industrial area? Churches have historically, back to the Founding Fathers, been located in areas near residential where people travel and people shop and drive by. Who's going to want to drive to a kind of a rough area to worship?
The Elijah Group sued on Oct. 31 in state district court but the lawsuit was moved to federal court. Leon Valley promptly filed for a temporary restraining order on Dec. 5 after the buildings failed a fire inspection. That order expired Dec. 19 and the owners remedied the fire code violations, which have allowed them to continue worship services but not operate a school or day care.
A trial is set for Sept. 21 and Crain is optimistic the church has a good chance of winning.
We've made sure, before we even got involved in this, he said, that this was something that was not just winnable, that was overwhelmingly, favorably winnable.

Columnist Marc Saltzman guides parents on how to shop wisely for back to school computers in this weeks Surf Report.
Good news for students (and parents) facing the inevitable computer upgrade: there's never been a better time to buy one.
Not only are there more options than ever before – in size and shape, brand, and specifications ("specs") – but there are attractive back-to-school deals to take advantage of. But choosing the right device to match your needs and budget can be an overwhelming task.
The following should help you decide what's best for the student in your home, divided into various ages.
Kindergarten to 6th grade
While not as popular as laptops, a stationary desktop computer might still be best for younger students. Not only do they cost less, on average, but they could be kept in a high-trafficked location in the home, such as a kitchen or family room, so mom and dad can keep an eye on where kids are going online.
Because they're not designed for on-the-go use, desktops are also less prone to damage; they sit in one place and can't be banged up or dropped as easily as laptops. The larger (and perhaps curved) keyboards and external mice are also more "ergonomic" than a laptop keyboard and trackpad, and better for smaller hands.
More: You've split from your fitness tracker. Can you get your data back?
There are two main kinds of desktop PCs: a tower that connects to a monitor, and an "all-in-one" computer, where the guts of the machine are built in behind the monitor instead of a separate tower.
The advantage to the former is you can easily upgrade components, over time, such as adding a bigger monitor, more storage or memory, or a better graphics card (something computer gamers often like to do). All-in-one machines, however, take up less space and have no cables exposed — but aren't as easy to upgrade.
Middle school, high school
Tweens and teens spend more time out of the home, and so portability is more important than for younger grades.
As such, laptops are perhaps more suitable for this age group. Decide on what screen size makes the most sense, with 14- or 15-inches as a popular "sweet spot" between a display that's too small (harder to multitask) and something too big (and thus heavier, and with poorer battery life, generally speaking).
