As I attained marriageable age, my parents wish that I should marry as early as possible. But there are no working guys of our own community available in and around my place, so that I could marry and continue in my job. There are marriage proposals from parents of candidates who are working as Software engineers in MNCs and othere reputed companies as well. But I shall have to leave my job and go as a housewise. I am afraid of the fate of these software engineers, as I fear that there is no continuity in their jobs and earnings. As long as their projects continue, they will earn their bread and butter. As they become older (after 5 to 8 yers of service), they are replaced by new generation engineers even at low salary packages. Thus I suspect uncertainty of livelihood in the long run. I prefer to marry a guy who is having stable income in govt sector in and around my place, so that I need not give up my govt job. So that we both can work together and with even small salary, we may perhaps lead a more peaceful life than that of a METRO life in cities where these software people/ MBA related job holders remain. Is my thinking correct ? Or am I unnecessarily worried? Please anyone guide me.
As there are no candidates of our community in my local area, I may have to go for inter-caste/inter-relegion marriage. As a female, I am worried about which stand I should take in the right direction.

you are excessively worried and a good software engineers earm more than govt job and there jobs are stable….with experiance there salary increases…..gud luck for ur marriage

I would like to know how many employees in our US workforce, go to work each morning knowing that a VP, supervisor or other employee will be verbally abusive. Yes, I consider anyone that demands you get out of your seat and go find information when you are working on many of their other projects. Or referring to you as their assistant when you are not and they aren’t your report to/boss. Someone who tells you you will never get an exceeds expectation in an employee review because they don’t believe anyone exceeds. You know you exceed because you eat lunch at your desk, stay late and take on more work than any of your peers. Someone who you’ve been working for for over a year tells you you have been doing a certain process wrong and they’ve been correcting it but never telling you. Someone who tells you you don’t answer your phone when you know very well that you are always are your desk and even during bathroom breaks you can see your missed calls via your phone. I’m totally sick of the bullying and abuse we are suffering. You see people in your office taking lessening paying jobs, stressed out and maxed out. It’s not wonder some people loose their minds and go back to a workplace to harm others. Please do not mistake what I just said!!! This is not the way to deal with anything. Violence is not the way to deal with your workplace.
But people can totally loose it, when their life and livelihood is on the line. Let me hear what you have to say and don’t give me the bull about the law. The laws to no protect American workers from this kind of behavior.
After feedback I want to make one thing clear. I DO NOT intend to use violence in this matter.
This job and company is not worth me loosing my soul and faith. So please reread if you misunderstand what I am saying.
Update… I have check legal channels. My company is what is called in main stream as an "Equal Opportunity Abuser!" Now don’t that sound nice. I do want to mention. I notified my 2 supervisors of the problems. When I went to HR I was told if I couldn’t take the stress to find another job.
Now isn’t that special! Any thoughts or comments. I’m open

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) provides protection to employees from a "hostile work environment.". You should look at the EEOC website’s page on harassment, and file a claim against your company if you want them to consider your case and take action on your behalf. http://www.eeoc.gov

NEW DELHI: A group of women activists in India has blamed the Indian government for what they said were widespread human rights violations in Sri Lanka.

"We strongly urge the Indian government to desist from participating in industrial and developmental projects in Sri Lanka where they result in permanent loss of the land and livelihood or ethnic cleansing of war-displaced minorities."
The signatories to the statement included historian Uma Chakravarty, professor Ilina Sen and Lakshmi Lingam, Rohini Hensman, Saheli, Mumbai’s Forum Against Oppression of Women, and Mary. E. John, director of New Delhi’s Centre for Women’s Development Studies.

Indian Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao arrived here on Friday night on a three-day visit ahead of her retirement from the foreign service on July 31.

She met Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa over breakfast on Saturday. Officials described the meeting as a “farewell” that the President had wanted to accord her because of the special relationship she shared with the country.

Such a knowledgeable member you are,are you not aware of the hatred they have towards India?
They blame that LTTE was trained by India.

It is a pity that the international community does not consider the problems of the SL Tamils sufficiently serious enough to address it by taking the issue vigorously in the UN.More’s the pity that our Government seems to be paying only lip service. The US and other developed countries like the UK,France,Germany etc.are ready to jump into the fray and go to war when human rights violations take place in the rest of the world except the south east Asian region,more particularly India and all its surrounding neighbors.Tragic or Comical?You be the Judge.

Have you ever been tied up and abused, harassed and beaten up constantly while others are watching you and no one is helping you? I feel exactly the same right now.

I feel worthless, devastated and suicidal because my computer science professor has been harassing me throughout the semester academically and personally just because I’m gay.

He has been telling me that I’m disgusting and that he will do anything and everything to ruin my 4.0 GPA and in turn, my life. My 4.0 GPA is very important to me because I’m applying to very competitive schools as a transfer student. My parents have lost their means of livelihood and cannot sponsor my education. I have to be dependent on full scholarship from my perspective schools in order to survive academically, and in turn personally. 

This professor has been giving me several projects and accepting only a few of them. In addition to that, he has been telling me that he will not help me with any of my questions about the classwork. I have reported the harassment to the chair of the computer science department and once wrote an email to the president of my college, but I didn’t get any help. Although I never told them that it is a gay issue since I didn’t feel comfortable telling that and felt like my chances of being supported would be zero, but I did report all the personal and academic harassment to the chair periodically and consistently. 

How would you deal with such harassment and bullying from your professor if you were me?

I am enormously sad that I have tried so hard throughout the semester to get an A in this professor’s class but he’s still giving me a B. He said he would have failed me in the class if he could. 

Please tell me if this is fair. Why do I have to suffer so much and compensate because of who I am? Who will help me?

I appreciate your advice very much because I’m completely devastated.

Thank you so much for listening to me!

Well your professor obviously isn’t a nice person! But what you may not be aware of is that he is breaking the law. He is discriminating you just because you are gay. I would catch him out and make him pay for what he’s done. Don’t let him ruin your life, I say you should turn on the recorder on your phone one day and make him admit what he’s been doing or at least catch him as he’s confessing his cruel method’s to you. About how he would ‘fail you if he could’. You need evidence of that and once you have it you make a complaint either to the highest person at your college or go straight to the police and make a formal complaint whilst showing your evidence. Get friends involved, make them help you out with it all- if they are a witness to any of this. Your life shouldn’t be ruined or tormented just because of your sexuality! Tell your parents get them involved. You seriously need to get this sorted because this person should not be at that college if he is not open minded about things like that. Hope this helps:/

im having a hard time with my report can someone help me with this pls? im a graduating student and i badly need this. thank you so much people.

here’s the article

Ang LADLAD Party is an organization of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgenders (LGBT). The founding chairman of the party-list is Danton Remoto, a literature professor at the Ateneo de Manila University.
The group’s name is Filipino for "unfolding" or to come out of the closet and openly admit one’s sexuality. The group is open not only to lesbians, bisexuals, gays and transgender individuals or groups, but also to heterosexual people who wish to support their cause.
Their office is located in Quezon City. LADLAD is a national organization of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender Filipinos. Our members are either LGBT organizations or individuals, or their heterosexual supporters.
In Filipino, "magladlad" means to unfurl the cape that used to cover one’s body as a shield. It means to come out of the closet, to assert one’s human rights as equal to that of the next Filipino. Thus, it means to take one’s place in the sun, with dignity intact.
LADLAD is running for party-list elections for Congress in the May 2013 elections. Thus, it is bound to make history.
It will be the first political party composed of LGBT Filipinos that will claim—and reclaim—the rights we have lost from centuries of homophobia and discrimination.
Our platforms follow:
Support for the Anti-Discrimination Bill that gives LGBT Filipinos equal rights and opportunities in employment and equal treatment in schools, hospitals, restaurants, hotels, entertainment centers, and government offices. The bill makes discrimination versus LGBTs a criminal act.
Support for LGBT-related and LGBT-friendly businesses.
Setting up of micro-finance and livelihood projects for poor and physically-challenged LGBT Filipinos;
Setting up of centers for old and abandoned LGBTs. The centers will also offer legal aid and counseling, as well as information about LGBT issues, HIV-AIDS, and reproductive health. These centers will be set up in key cities of the country.
Support for the the bill repealing the Anti-Vagrancy Law that some unscrupulous policemen use to extort bribes from gay men;

A. Structural conduciveness – refers to the broad social conditions that are necessary for an episode of collective behavior to occur. EX: To have a financial panic, you need a money market in which assets can be freely and quickly exchanged. EX: Social networks helped spread "bug panic"

Hi, i did a text but I think it’s too "french" english so I would like you to improve it.

One of the solution to help producers in poor countries is fair trade. It consists to etablish a direct commercial link between producers and customers with the minimum manufacturers, therefore eliminating the price raising unnecessarily.
The Body Shop is a cosmetic company which practises fair trade since 1976, when the first shop opened in Brighton. They are carefull to work together, to have strong relationships with producers and even if it’s a big entreprise a family ambiance reigns. During nearly 35 years, the company had introduced a generation of naturally-based products with minimal packaging such as Tea Tree oil or banana shampoo. On the one hand, the company creates worldwide sustainable trading relationships which provide livelihood, educational and health benefits to local populations (in southern India for example). On the other hand, the latter supplies shops in quality made plants. Besides, the Shop campaigns against human rights abuses with Amnesty International, support Greenpeace for some projects like "Save the Whale" in 1986. The Body Shop continues to increase its positive environmental practises.
When my family and I go shopping, we often buy fair trade products and particularly coffee, drinking chocolate and exotic products. I think it’s a little gesture which doesn’t cost not much.

Thank you.

Note: Not sure what you mean by ‘quality made plants’ but it doesn’t really make sense.

It’s for a project-like what did they do, how did their lives/livelihoods change, what did they lose…? Everything I can find is about former slaves, not their owners. :/

they did loose alot
a few of them left farms

but you have to understand this

when the freed slaves started to leave, they couldn’t find a job anywhere else
on top of that, they were given no education
so they couldn’t work any where

and just because the 13th amendment states that slavery is abolished
doesn’t mean it is,
blacks were still going through alot of discriminations through black codes, literacy tests and the ku klux klan

so even if slavery had ened in the constitution, doesn’t mean the laws were upheld

so, anyways
at the end…. the slaves went back to working on farms for very very low pay!! (1 cent a week)

this is what happened, it actually took a good 100 years for the civil rights movement to pick up and what not

Not passing the course to earn a degree, and that, to earn a livelihood. Not at shopping and not at running engineering projects.

Put another way, how the knowledge of mathematics will help to transform our lives at personal level ?

Bertrand Russel has the point in THE CONQUEST OF HAPPINESS: ‘In adolescence, I hated life and was continually on the verge of suicide, from which, however, I was restrained by the desire to know more mathematics. Now, on the contrary, I enjoy life; I might almost say that with every year that passes I enjoy it more.’

I am not sure that I can answer that; an answer would imply that I know how to infuse others with the same love of mathematics I have. I think it is something you either have or don’t have. I think Russel’s quote would have the same weight if he had substituted any area of study for mathematics. It is the love of learning, and of acquiring knowledge which (to me) is important. I learned from a very wise man, however, that knowledge in and of itself is not enough. Anything you know only has value when you give it away; that is, when you can teach another.

My husband works long hours to support us and I really appreciate that he works so I can finish my Masters. I graduate in May. We had an unexpected pregnancy (I have a condition that causes infertility, but is regulated by birth control, and even with all the odds against having a baby, it happened…..even when having been told by 3 different doctors that I was infertile AND being on birth control). So I decided to focus my efforts on becoming successful instead of being a mother. Our son is 5 months old and everything has changed. Tonight I needed to study, have 2 projects and an essay due tomorrow. My husband came home from work, played video games (we are 33 years old), and fell asleep. I told him while he was starting his video game that I needed a lot of help tonight. He said, "Sure." I think that was an automatic response, you know what I am talking about women, when the man doesn’t really hear you but makes you think he did. I have been trying to type and study all night with a baby on my lap (son is EXTREMELY high maintenance for a baby…..always has to be entertained or have a change of scenery). Husband finally came upstairs to find me in tears because I have to have this stuff done by tomorrow or my grade gets docked a huge percentage. This is my last semester of my masters, and have a high paying job waiting for me upon graduation, though we are struggling to make ends meet at the moment. He saw me in tears and told me he didn’t want to hear my crying….he was too tired to care for our son….and he cannot stay up late to help because he is solely responsible for our livelihood and has to sleep so he can work and we can eat. I guess I feel like what I am doing is unimportant to him, even though it is in his benefit to help, as my job would more than triple our household income. Is this his stress? Is it abnormal for me to think I deserve more help???
I also just asked for help, and he did take our son. Only for me to hear him yelling "Shut the F up" to our 5 month old. At which point I closed my laptop and retrieved our son from his fathers care.
"So I decided to focus my efforts on becoming successful instead of being a mother." When I stated this in the previous paragraph, I was referring to my focus when I realized being a mother my not ever happen to me. Being a mother is my number 1 focus at the moment, school is 2nd. However, that does not mean that I have to quit school, that is not an option at this point.

That is not normal sounds like he’s having trouble dealing with having a child and supporting both of you and he’s taking it out on you and the baby. Him helling at the baby to shut the f up is call domestic abuse you and the baby don’t deserve that sounds like he only cares about his self. Maybe he needs a couple day break I’d would go to a family members house for a few days and if that don’t change then it might be best if you separate for the best of that baby so he doesn’t get abuse. I’m so sorry for the way he is treating you and the baby I really hope you guys can work through this. I’ve been there I know how it feels when they treat you like that. Good luck to you and your baby.
