  5. Homeopathic Medicine Contains Alcohol?

    in WHAT'S HAPPENING?

    Posted

    There are a lot of different chemicals which are part of the "alcohol" category of chemistry. Basically an alcohol is a chemical substance which contains a hydroxide group at the end. So not all alcohols are liquor and intoxicating. Liquor is made from fermentation process, all other chemical "alcohols" are ok.

    examples of alcohols:

    ethanol

    methanol

    propanol

    butanol

    cyclohexanol

    and list goes on.....

    awww no fair! I didn't see that u shaped bridge! I thought maybe that is in the west rim or somewhere else. We entered grand canyon from the east entrance highway 64 and drove to south rim. We took the shuttle bus all the way to the last stop Hermits Rest and they said there is still 180 miles of canyon beyond this point.

    So I went to couple of stores...I looked at all the above suggestions....the canon S3 IS is nice, but I think the buttons are gonna get in the way of my thumb, the sony H2 or H5 doesn't have those buttons there. Saleslady said Sony is about to come out with a new model in a couple of weeks, so I wonder what that will be like. Officemax has sony H2 on sale for $289 this week....so many options grin.gif

    SALDEF and Department of Homeland Security Release Kirpan Poster

    Wednesday 29th of November 2006

    Rajbir Singh Datta (SALDEF)

    Poster to be Distributed to 8,700 Federal Facilities Nationwide - SALDEF Asks for Community's Support to Continue Awareness, Empowerment Efforts

    Washington, D.C.- Yesterday, the Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund (SALDEF) released a poster explaining the Sikh Kirpan, produced in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The poster, entitled Sikh Americans and the Kirpan, provides a brief introduction to the Kirpan, a Sikh article of faith, and security recommendations for law enforcement officials when they come in contact with a Kirpan.

    The Kirpan poster was formally unveiled in a joint SALDEF – DHS roll out event yesterday at the National Gurdwara in Washington, D.C. The Kirpan, a religious sword, which serves as a constant reminder to a Sikh's duty to uphold justice, has often caused law enforcement officials across the country much confusion. This poster, a product of extensive collaboration between DHS and SALDEF, will be used to inform thousands of federal law enforcement officers and security screeners about the religious significance of the Kirpan to Sikhs.

    Speaking during the event, Daniel Sutherland, Officer for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties at DHS commended SALDEF for its efforts in producing the poster. Mr. Sutherland stated: "We recognize the need to balance homeland security requirements with the ability of you as a Sikh to practice your faith. This poster is a tool to increase awareness about the Kirpan and enhance learning and understanding of your culture."

    "This poster is one part of an ongoing effort by SALDEF to change the way law enforcement in the United States view the Kirpan." said SALDEF co-founder and Board Chairman Manjit Singh. "The increased awareness about the Kirpan among federal law enforcement officials will help in the appropriate handling and ensure a positive interaction between Sikh Americans and Federal law enforcement personnel."

    Dean Hunter, Director of the Federal Protective Service, the main DHS agency which sponsored the poster, stated, "this is a win-win situation resulting from our partnership with SALDEF to develop the Kirpan poster. The poster will be distributed to 8,700 federal facilities across the country." The Office of Federal Protective Service (FPS) is a branch of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and is responsible for the security of several thousand owned and leased Federal buildings, facilities, properties and other federal assets. The FPS is a force of 2,000 federal police officers which provides security police services to U.S. Federal buildings and other properties.

    Including the Federal Protective Services (FPS), other agencies part of the three-year-old Department of Homeland Security include Transportation Security Agency (TSA), Immigration and Custom's Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS), US Coast Guard and the Secret Service to name a few.

    SALDEF similarly collaborated with the U.S. Department of Justice in 2004 on a project to produce a poster entitled Common Sikh American Head Coverings. The purpose of that poster was to provide local, state and federal law enforcement officials with basic information about the Sikh faith, the significance of the Daastar (turban), and provide recommendations on handling the Daastar when interacting with Sikh Americans.

    The DHS Kirpan Poster is available on SALDEF's website at www.saldef.org.

  20. How Did No-one Pick Up On This?

    And what is the government doing in response to this? What is the Chief Minister of Punjab Amarinder Singh doing now? What is the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh doing? And SGPC? the Jathedar?

    Punjab needs to be revamped and restructered.

    Post these pictures on posters all over punjab so the ppl will demand something better. No wonder every punjabi there says "mai baar nu jaana."

    its your life, and parents are not ALWAYS right about everything. Talk to them, try your best to make them understand. Get a close friend involved or your sisters, cousins and relatives who will take your side. Without education, you can not get a decent job, have good income, and all the rest that comes with money. Conveniently disappear when its time for your flight to India and stay at a safe location (friend or relative's house). If its gets to the wedding day, simply refuse to take the laavan. Make a scene. Surely then groom's family will call it off after the bride is causing so much delay. If you are in the UK there is a Sikh Helpline. Seek help.

    Best of luck to you! pray.gif
