		<description><![CDATA[We all know that giving your time as a volunteer is a way for you to strengthen the bonds of your community as well as bringing help to the needy. Of course, making arrangements to be free to volunteer often wastes some of that valuable free time. Keep in mind that volunteering is more fun with your co-workers pitching in by your side!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I expect you know that volunteer work is a great way to strengthen community bonds and at the same time assist the needy. But how much time does it take to plan? And actually, it&#8217;s significantly easier to get involved when another party has planned the event. And don&#8217;t you agree that with your colleagues working alongside you, you&#8217;d all have a better time while volunteering? Following this logic companies like Adaptive Marketing LLC, that developed financial benefits programs like <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/PassportToFun">Passport to Fun</a>, have stepped up as organizing points enabling their employees to find the time to help.</p>
<p>If you think of company supported charitable effort, you probably think of blood drives, perhaps an annual donation drive, nothing more, but this is simply no longer true. The staff of Adaptive Marketing have been given the opportunity to participate in community initiatives with more and less effort required. In cases like these, the times, locations and dates that had been arranged were announced, making sure that employees knew what to expect, and how much time each event might really require. It&#8217;s hardly volunteering if there&#8217;s no choice between activities, naturally. Employees of Adaptive Marketing, the company who developed the program Passport to Fun, select from among a number of local initiatives. Previous and current projects have ranged between areas as diverse as aid and assistance for children and young adults, environmental programs, and events supporting artistic projects. Adaptive Marketing&#8217;s staff have so much to choose from that they&#8217;re certain to choose a project they&#8217;ll enjoy participating in, making their time fun as well as fulfilling. Most often a company sponsored volunteer program &#8211; fundraising with a homeless shelter or helping out at a local school &#8211; is either for a one-off event or on a regular schedule in pursuit of a bigger goal. Staffers may well claim &#8211; and even assume &#8211; that they don&#8217;t have any free time, but even they can often find enough hours to lend a hand with one instalment of a longer project.</p>
<p>Turning their profit-making skills to the benefit of their community has long been a tradition at many firms. Goodwill comes from the actions of Adaptive Marketing&#8217;s members of staff over the course of company-supported programs like the ones touched on earlier. Volunteering to help others leaves you feeling much better about yourself &#8211; just the sort of feeling to leave employees motivated both in their regular work and their volunteer activities, too. By now, we think, the positives for everyone involved of a company-supported volunteer initiative are should be plain to grasp.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thousand of illegal aliens and those that abet illegal aliens (family members, employers, etc) marched in southern California to protest.  What they were protesting seems odd to most Americans.  They were protesting the illegality of being in the United State illegally.  The Congress is deliberating HR 4437 which would make being in the United States illegally a felony (which it should be) and add harsh punishments to employers that knowing hire illegal aliens.</p>
<p>They claim they are simply protesting to ensure &#8220;immigrant rights&#8221;.  The problem is however that is not the case.  The reality is they want &#8220;illegal immigrant rights&#8221;.  They want people who break our laws to come here to be allowed to stay in this country.  So the question is why have immigration laws at all?</p>
<p>And of course the weak minded lemmings also call the legislation &#8220;racist&#8221;.  Odd, I don&#8217;t think however that the legislation says that we are now recognizing one race as superior to another &#8211; which is the definition of &#8220;racism&#8221;.</p>
<p>Webster&#8217;s Dictionary:</p>
<p>Racism</p>
<p>1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race</p>
<p>2 : racial prejudice or discrimination</p>
<p>No, what the bill really only does is says that if you come here illegally you are going to be punished.  That&#8217;s generally what happens when you break the law isn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Problems is these illegals and their abettors don&#8217;t want to have to deal with that reality so they do what good little liberal Marxists always do.  They make crap up.  They claim the debate is about immigration when it&#8217;s not and they cry racism when most of them probably don&#8217;t even know what it means.</p>
<p>If they stuck to the facts they&#8217;d have to admit to themselves just how wrong they are.</p>
<p>And make no mistake.  These people out there protesting are indeed Marxists.  They believe that they have a right to something that isn&#8217;t theirs and they think that they should be able to compel you to let them have it.  To them the land is communal and how dare the United States tell them they can&#8217;t come here to claim their piece of it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Chandigarh Administration revised and implemented the<br />
electricity tariff w.e.f. 1.8.05 where in a new tariff structure<br />
was introduced comprising of energy charges and fixed charges.<br />
Anumber of representations from consumers/associations are being<br />
received stating the new Tariff Structure as irrational. The<br />
main resentment is regarding the domestic consumers consuming<br />
151 units since energy charges@ 2.90 per unit becomes applicable<br />
as against 1.65 per unit for 150 units consumption.The basic<br />
idea behind the introduction of new tariff structure was to have<br />
a Rational Tariff Structure for all category of consumers. There<br />
fore the energy charges of all categories of consumers<br />
(exceptDomestic Supply) were made equal i.e. Rs.3.36 per unit.<br />
However, the Domestic Supply Consumers were given concession by<br />
charging them subsidized rates of Rs. 2.90 per unit (for total<br />
monthly consumption exceeding 150 units). Similarly within the<br />
domestic category also,various slabs were done away under the<br />
Rational tariff Structure. However, to grant some concession to<br />
the weaker section, it was decidedby the Administration that<br />
there should be no increase (on an average) intariff for<br />
consumers with monthly consumption less than or equal to<br />
150units.U.T. has no generation of its own and the power<br />
requirement of the city is being met through power purchased<br />
from various Central GeneratingUnits and BBMB. The average<br />
purchase price per unit (including lossesand other expenditure)<br />
is around Rs.3.2 per unit while the average sale price per unit<br />
(energy charges + fixed charges) for all category of consumers,<br />
also comes to approximately Rs.3.2 per unit with the<br />
introduction of new tariff. The average energy charges per unit<br />
for domestic category has been increased from Rs.2.65 per unit<br />
to Rs.2.90 per unit (an increase of approx. 9%) with the<br />
introduction of new tariff.The concept of fixed charges has been<br />
introduced to charge for making available electricity at the<br />
doors-steps, whether consumed or not. Accordingly the monthly<br />
minimum charges of Rs.35/- per KW per month havebeen done away.<br />
