 employees working 40+ hours (even though they're *technically* part time employees)
Getting hours cut for needing a day off for an appointment, or not coming in on a day off.The debate over regulation has been in the news lately, because it's been a point of conversation among the 2012 presidential candidates. The Republicans have said that over-regulation has kept businesses from expanding and creating jobs. But a new report from the World Bank that measures business regulation is throwing some cold water on the side that thinks the U.S. is a hostile place for business.
According to the bank's annual listing, the United States is fourth on its "ease of doing business" rank. It trails only Singapore, Hong Kong and New Zealand.
The one area where the US comes up short? The ease of paying taxes--based on the number of payments, the time spent, and the total tax rate, we rank 72nd in the world. According to the report, the average business spends an average of 187 hours per year filing taxes, with a total tax rate of 46.7 percent--considerably above the 35 percent average that's typically cited. So, yes, the World Bank report takes some of the steam out of conservative complaints about overly burdensome business regulations in the US. But complaints about the corporate tax code still resonate.
Here is one example of how the ease of do- ing business index is constructed. In Korea it takes 5 procedures, 7 days and 14.6% of annual income per capita in fees to open a business. There is no minimum capital required. On these 4 indicators Korea ranks in the 18th, 14th, 53rd and 0 percentiles. So on average Korea ranks in the 21st percentile on the ease of starting a business. It ranks in the 12th percentile on getting credit, 25th percentile on paying taxes, 8th percentile on enforcing contracts, 7th percentile on resolving insolvency and so on. Higher rank- ings indicate simpler regulation and stronger protection of property rights. The simple average of Korea's percentile rankings on all topics is 21st. When all economies are ordered by their average percentile rankings, Korea stands at 8 in the aggregate ranking on the ease of doing business.
It adds that the rankings do not take into account things like infrastructure and the strength of its financial systems.

David Sedaris mentioned this title in one of his public appearances. The reader who wants to be informed, infuriated and amused can do as I did and Google "is my son gay" (no need for a "?") The topmost entry Google showed me was from Focus on the Family:

"If you listen carefully and respond wisely, he might share more of his thought processes. This can lead to a helpful discussion of the subject. It will also strengthen your bond — and a good parent-child relationship is one of the best lines of defense against homosexuality."

It reminds me of the title of a book from the days when being gay was considered patholigical called *Groing Up Straight,* which also offered "defenses" against homosexuality.  

That was immediately followed by a more objective article, unsurprisingly from *Scientific American,* titled "Is My Child Gay?". Some of the developmental signs of a  homosexual observed from very early childhood are considered and re-affirmed scientifically. One can conclude that some stereotypes have a reason for being stereotypes. Their observations certainly validate my own early chidhood experience.

The search term "is my child gay" returned an impressive list of URLs. For someone like I, who spent an excessive amount of his childhood in the library searching under "homosexuality" and related subjects, it looks like a source of a few good reads.

addendum: This post has a flair of "educational" but that includes "miseducational".They nerfed the trap, which is now ineffective against the characters it was best at countering before, and kind of soft-nerfed him with the gameplay changes. One less body on the enemy team means one less target for his tiny nerfed projectiles when they're grouped up. Fewer shields means less usefulness for Junk's consistent damage. Fewer tanks on your own team means much less protection from hit scan players on the other side of the map or fast flankers who easily evade Junk's slow, tiny projectiles. The new maps are also very wide open which once again favors hit scan heroes.

Honestly they should just ditch all the projectile heroes at this point and make everyone hitscan.Janam Kundli, commonly referred to as Kundli, is something common among Hindu families. We even know a lot of families from other religions who believe that a Janam Kundli is an important document for getting insights into one’s future and related actions. If you take a look at the history, you can say without a doubt that Kundli has been there for a huge amount of time. For decades and centuries, people have been treating this astrological document as something viable and trustworthy. As it goes back, the core basis of Kundli is the fact that a newborn child’s future may vary according to the date and time it was born. So far, there has been not much of hard proof to object that claim.
The sole idea of this article is to make sure that you don’t commit mistakes while reassuring your beliefs in a world of Kundli. We can also clear some common doubts you might have about Kundli, especially if you’re new to Hindu religion. I mean, if you did not have a solid background with Hindu religious stuff and myth, it is probable that you may have some misconceptions. Anyway, we can start ahead and almost all your doubts will be cleared once you reach the end of this article. Shall we start?
1. Janam Kundli Isn’t A Wild Guess; It’s Well-Calculated And Crafted.
We are not talking about the scientific aspect or anything, but the focus is merely on the astrological value, authenticity and other sub-aspects of a kundli. There are people who believe that kundli is a result of mere guessing by an astrologer, which is one of the biggest misconceptions ever.  As we did say earlier, the main point of kundli has its basis on the time of one’s birth. It does not mean that only the time is being considered for making the kundli as a standalone document. On the other hand, several elements will be taken into the account.
According to Vedic Astrological System of India, Kundli can be made by analyzing the planetary positions of the time of one’s birth. Planetary positions mean a lot of things, including that of the major planets, stars as well as other signs that might have an impact on one’s life. You would have a specific idea about these if you have approached an astrologer for comparing two kundlis, whereupon he would talk about the compatibility of two planets or signs. So, we were saying, the planetary positions are considered and you can also have an impressive idea about a person’s different areas from the different Kundli houses. Each of these houses is a representative of different aspects, such as education, relationships, finances etc.
To sum up what we have said, you cannot ignore the presence and effects of kundli by simply saying that it is a wild-guess result. For someone who believes in Vedic astrology of India, it’s something to count on when it comes to their life. As far as the user is concerned, there is no imposition here, but when you want to use the document for getting insights, please try not to have a serious misconception about its making. It’s more of common logic, you know — you can’t believe in kundli if you don’t believe in the astrology concepts and other aspects. And, if you believe in the astrological system that we follow, you have reasons to reassure the technical viability of your Janam Kundli.
2. Your Kundli Can Be As Specific As You Want It To.
This is something you should know before you approach an astrologer for making a Kundli for yourself or a child of yourself. In most cases, Kundli is made with the help of common details about one’s birth, such as date and specific time. It’s also considered that the combination is satisfactory for creating a document that provides insights into one’s life. That having said, as far as specificity is concerned, Kundli has more to offer.
It needs to be noted that you cannot apply this to every scenario and every astrologer. We hope you know that there are multiple ways of creating a kundli, depending on your
