Bueno. Acaban (a eso de las 15:00 del 20.05.12) de aclararme qué fue lo que pasó en realidad.
Vamos por parte...
Todo esto partió el miércoles en la madrugada. El tren 50.009 partió al mando de esta locomotora (la E-3227) con destino al sur... pero, partieron con problemas. Tuvieron que dejar un carro estanque con ácido en Alameda por papeleos y un carro con ejes en Rancagua por problemas de frenos.
En fin. No fue el único problema...
A causa de que había caído una leve llovizna horas antes, el tren 50.010 (al mando de la E-3208) tuvo problemas de adherencia, por lo que comenzó a patinar a la altura de Requínoa. Intentaron fraccionar el convoy para ver si se podía llegar hasta Rancagua, pero ni con eso se pudo.
El tren 50.010 volvió a Requínoa para esperar auxilio de alguna locomotora que ayudase a traccionar el tren y enfrentar así el problema de adherencia.
Fue en eso, que se decidió mandar a la E-3227 del 50.009 como "locomotora volanda" (es decir, aislada) a rescatar al 50.010. Sin embargo, a causa del mismo problema, la E-3227 - al intentar acoplarse a la E-3208 - terminó impactando a la locomotora del X-10, causando no solo que se partiese por la mitad el enganche de la 08, sino que el enganche de la 27 quede incrustado en la locomotora (tal como aparece en la foto) y dañase algunos componentes de la tracción de la misma. Es por eso, que el futuro de esta locomotora pareciese incierto.
Después de sucedido este incidente, se decidió - tras los peritajes de rigor - de que la E-3208 se acoplase a la locomotora que venía al mando del 50.004 (alias, el Fierrero) y llegasen juntas a Alameda. Mientras que la E-3227 quedó botada junto a los carros del X-10 en Requínoa, a la espera de que una locomotora fuese no solo a buscar a la malograda italiana, sino que fuese a buscar la composición que quedó en Requínoa y la llevase a destino.
En el caso del coche IT que llevaba las ruedas, ya está con su sistema de frenado reparado. Mientras que a la E-3208 ya le están cambiando el enganche dañado.
Sin embargo, el daño sufrido por la E-3227 es mucho más complejo, por lo que demorará algunos meses en ser reparada... si es que así sucede. Y, a pesar de que FEPASA todavía no se puede dar el lujo de desechar cualquier locomotora, la última palabra se sabrá en el transcurso de los días.

The problem is that the little catch lever that drops onto the big metal wheel that's connected to shutter assembly instead of staying away from it until the shutter is fully cocked.
Tricky problem to fix :(
Brilliant line, great work by Will. I did the RH finish after this as wasnt sure what was what, get pocket with the LH and head right. "The Lash Out?" the right finish was a bit harder. My grade calibrater is malfunctioning at the moment.
[14:49] Amara turned the corner, walking into the restaurant and passing Leigh and Ayr as she moved to the counter. "Afternoon you two. Nick, I'd like a medium pie with broccoli, ham, olives, and extra cheese. To go."
[14:50] Leigh Parx (Kayleigh Jigsaw) just cracked up laughing. "That ain't a man. An' if you're bein' nice 'nuff ta listen, don't see why I can't do somethin' nice in return. Do you?" Leigh wasn't counting on Ayr fixing her problems, but she did know he usually managed to at least make things seem better. "Aight." Her attention shifted to the NPC waiter for a moment. "One pie with whatever meats ya'll got and a water. Plus whatever he wants despite what he says." She'd jerk her head slightly in Ayr's direction at the words. Amara got a nod. "Hey, boss. Lost your tail?"
[14:52] Ayr Bosatsu looks over to Amara when she walks in, chewing on the thoughts Leigh had given him. "I wanted to pick a Better time to do this, and it seems a bit abrupt to do it here and now. But," he'd clear his throat, "Amara I'd like you to Be Beta for a while. Since gage has surrendered her position we've been in need of a new one and few have stepped forward to offer their names. More than a few people have mentioned -your- name though. I'd like you to give it a try for a month and a bit, see how you feel with it." Looking down at his boots he'd huff slightly, "I'm getting too old for these lil heart-string moments."
[14:58] Amara was caught between blushing and crying at the announcement. She really had her heart set on just being the lead medic, but she felt rather humbled that others though her a capable Beta. "I'd be honored, Ayr, and I'll do my best. Count on it." She leaned against the counter for support as she smiled at Leigh. "My tails are fine thanks. Are you alright though after what happened yesterday?"
[15:07] Leigh Parx (Kayleigh Jigsaw) nodded. "Whatcha mean what happened? Only thing that rankled me any was when it seemed like you were undermining my doing my job." She'd shrug a bit. "Might wanna buy that lady a strap-on and some therapy though? She was compensatin' pretty hard for somethin'. You're welcome to join us." She'd think for a moment before pulling a business card from her pocket and holding it out to Amara.
[15:09] Ayr Bosatsu looks at Amara a long moment, even as Leigh speaks to her. His head nodded somewhat, mind scratching back like a broken record to his younger years. Lolling his head forward he'd plant his chin on the desk, stifling proud tears as his heart strings got plucked and played - so much so he could only manage a nod in return to her comment. Quickly standing up to try and shake himself out of it he'd make for the counter and order himself a drink with a lump in his throat, "Cola."
[15:14] Amara took the business card and read it over, taking a seat at the table while she waited for her pie to be made. "I do apologize for Lana; Ashagi's been going through some difficult times. Several employees have been attacked or mauled, and we have no idea who's behind them." She sighed, putting the card away knowing it would be useful later. "Her lover was attacked. Arwen was shot...and Adagio..." Amara bit her lip, stopping the sentence short. "She just didn't want someone else to be hurt on her watch. Nothing more."
[15:17] Mitka Dover walks in quietly stopping at the table nodding to the pack and leigh"you all been served?"
[15:21] Leigh Parx (Kayleigh Jigsaw) shrugged as the NPC put her water on the table. She'd keep her attention mostly focused on those she was with, for now. "Still, yer my boss. I'd rather see ya have someone competent if ya need someone. The way she was actin' ain't gonna do nothin' but end up gettin the people she's tryin' ta protect hurt." Her attention would then shift back to Ayr as she watched him. "So first thing I wanna ask ya is this. Am I a lady?" Yup, true Leigh fashion had the question seeming like it came out of nowhere.
[15:24] Ayr Bosatsu nods when Mitka comes in, pulling out his phone quietly. "Well," he scratched behind his ear. "Sometimes I wonder. You seem to be pretty much immune to any guy coming onto you," his eyes drifted to the left and the child outside. The one who gave him birthday cake, "...!" Scrabbling up quickly he'd look at Mitka then point at the child, screaming at the top of his lungs - "Get that child -whatever- she wants to eat, 'cause I'm frontin' the bill!" As his finger pointed at her it wiggled, so much tension and sincerity in his tone that it could not be misunderstood for a sudden paroxysm of drug-fuelled insanity. "...Yes, though, I think you fall under the class of things known as 'woman'." Sinking back down to the table he'd look about bashfully. "..She bought me cake...and i blew her off, sorta..So i feel hella bad."
[15:27] Amara nods. "Just waiting on my pizza to be made, Mitka. I'd like a glass of water though." She folded her arms just above her stomach and sighed. "I will look into a personal bodyguard, don't worry. Can't exactly afford injuries right now, but I need to stay close to the city more often than at ho-" She jumped back when Ayr suddenly proclaimed free food for a random child outside, eyes widened in surprise. "Woah...Ayr, don't scare me like that...please."
[15:29] Sally-Jean almost jumped when she heard someone yell at the top of their lungs.. OOhhh it was Mister Ayr! She'd look around to see if there was any other child he could be talking about.. didn't look like it so she'd sheepishly walk into the resturant, giving the adults a shy smile and a wave before going to the counter, smiling at Nick. " can I try some spaghetti and meatballs?" she'd ask quietly before glancing at the adults once more and taking her seat in one of the booths.
[15:29] Leigh Parx (Kayleigh Jigsaw) tilted her head curiously considering the words. "So you'd say I'm a woman, but not a lady? Explain, please." She glanced over her shoulder to see the child he'd indicated.
[15:31] Ayr Bosatsu nods profusely when the child wanders in, "AHHH! You can have it all! Will make sure I pay you back for the cake i didn't give you on your birthday!" Standing up again he'd knock over his chair, pointing at the NPC dude to chop chop to it. "...Food..Whatever she wants, all of it paid by me." Thumbing his chest he'd nod sharply and pick up his chair, "I mean. Women generally tend to respond to sexual advances. You don't from what I've seen. You got boobs and probably a ...you know," he made finger gestures akin to scissors, "..but uhm...You don' got the personality of a lady. You're a tom-boy, unashamedly so." Torn between Leigh, Amara and the kid he'd nod and point a techno viking-esque finger at Nick.
[15:33] Mitka Dover reaches into her top to grab her vibrating phone o ut , reads the message, and sets the phone down.She would grab a peice of paper and chucks it at Ayr's head mumbling
[15:35] Mitka Dover would also grab Amara the glass of water and walsk over setting it downi nfront of her.She sees the pizza done and brings it too over at the same time"there ya go, eat up Mara...your eating for two."
[15:37] Amara didn't know which to laugh at first - Ayr's eccentric manner as far as feeding a child, his definition of what it means to be a lady, or his inability to proper refer to female genitalia. "A lot of things define a lady, Ayr, not just her physical attributes or her response to sexual advances. It's how she carries herself." She smiled at the food and drink being delivered and handed Mitka payment. "Oh don't remind me - I don't even like olives, but that's all I've been craving for three days straight."
[15:39] Mitka Dover swats Ayr upside the head mumnbling something under her breath"told you i'd swat you for that ayr..."she closes her phone after sending a text back.She loosk at amara"it's been red meat for me.....and skittles"
[15:39] Sally-Jean blinked widely at the highly animated Ayr. She'd tilt her head even, blinking a few more times before speaking up. " Are.. are you okay Mister Ayr?" she'd tap her fingers against her bottom lip. " Maybe there was too much sugar in the cake.." She'd say softly before covering her mouth in a giggle when paper is thrown at him. She'd then widen her eyes as he dashed off like the flash.. she'd look to the adults and shrug her shoulders. " Maybe he needs a nap.. they used to make the younger kids take naps when they got all sugar crazy." she'd nod her head once before staring at her table.
[15:40] Leigh Parx (Kayleigh Jigsaw) just blinked. "So that makes me not a lady?" She'd consider this for a few moments before leaning back in her chair and putting her boots up on the edge of the table in Ayr's direction. If he looked, he'd get a nice view of the silky black panties barely covering her. "Alright, so where would you say I rank in the food chain? And feel free to contribute any of your thoughts to this, Amara. It would be welcomed." Her ankles crossed after a moment as an NPC brought out the pie she'd ordered right behind Mitka bringing Amara's. She fished her credits from her pocket and passed them to the guy delivering her meal.
[15:45] Amara shook her head at the young girl. "No dear, in all honestly, he's like that naturally sometimes. No sugar required." She nibbled on a slice of the cheesy pizza before gesturing for Leigh to help herself if she wanted a bite. "I think you're one of the more honest with yourself females on this island. It doesn't seem like you care what others think of you as long as you're at peace with yourself. You aren't walking around in heels or anything, but I'm not sure tomboy is the right term."
[15:45] Nikolay Fedoseev had turned around deciding he needed a slice and a moments break before heading back out on patrol.. he was in a significantly better mood since fighting with eli last night.. Heading in he just hears leighs comments glancing in her direction to see her sitting with ehr legs up and not crossed in a skirt half her ass hanging out... though he missed the panty shot... Trying to keep his face straight he cant help a small smirk... thank god she's not his daughter.
[15:47] Sally-Jean nodded slowly. " Ohhhh.." She'd say before smiling. She'd sit quietly as she waiting for Sam to cook up her spaghetti and meat balls. kind of listening to the grown ups, but at the same time trying to hide it.. as to not get into trouble for eavesdropping.
[15:52] Leigh Parx (Kayleigh Jigsaw) dropped her right hand to her lap lightly playing with the edge of her skirt as she continued to leave her feet on the table. "But lady isn't either?" Her left hand snagged a slice of pizza and she took a bite. She'd chew before studying Amara curiously. "But lady isn't the right term, either?" Her tongue ran over her teeth in thought before she took a second bite curiously waiting to see what the response would be.
[15:59] Amara nodded to Nik as he strolled in, giving him an acknowledging nod while she ate. "How's the leg fairing, Mr Fedoseev?" Moving on to her second slice, she thought about how to answer. "There are too many definitions for lady, Leigh. It could be a female of high society. To some it's just a proper woman. To others it's any female that looks like she bathes and uses makeup. Feminine is not a term I'd use in your case, but I see you are a lady purely due to your confidence. You don't help to get your shit done." She took one more bite of the pizza. "Not sure a 'lady' would flash her knickers though..." she winked.
[16:03] Ayr Bosatsu Clatters back into the restauraunt with a crash. "I needed my hat," he muttered and looked to LEigh and Amara, leaving them to talk as he sunk down into the booth next to lil Sally. "You eating properly?"
[16:05] Nikolay Fedoseev turned away form nick after ordering a coffee to glance at amara and then to ayr wondering what the man will do after the shit al stired up last night.. Watching him walk back in tosit with another girl he looks to amara.. "its doing good... this is the second one i've had put on... " he'd glance to leigh arching a brow as he is now in the right position to see her flicking her skirt up with ehr fingers.. giving a half amused snort he shakes his head.. "I'm not even going to touch that one... "
[16:06] Sally-Jean looked up. she was about to tell him she was still waiting for her food when Nick brought a medium sized plate of spaghetti and meatballs. Her eyes would widen and she'd smile " I'm about to!" she'd smile at N ick and give him thanks before leaning towards Ayr. " never had Meatballs and Spaghetti before.. so Imma try it." she'd stab a meatball with her fork, about to take a bite before asking. " Did you like your cake? I didn't know what kind you liked.. so I got cheesecake.. because everyone likes cheesecake.. I think.. and the toy fox and toy leopard where new, all clean and stuff."
[16:11] Leigh Parx (Kayleigh Jigsaw) just flashed the Judge a sweet smile. "Touch what?" She'd tilt her head back and look at Ayr upside down. "You gonna help me eat this pizza and finish our talk?" Her head was righted as she finished the slice in her hand. "So where would you say I rank on the food chain, all things considered?" Leigh wasn't sure who would know how much about her, even her boss. Well, she knew Ayr would know, but he seemed occupied with the other kid. A smirk crossed her features as she considered Amara's comment on the panty flashing. "I'm wearing knickers?"
[16:19] Ayr Bosatsu ((posts since it's been 8 mins and he fig's P.O don't matter here. )) leans over when she does to listen attentively. "Mm..I like meatballs and spaghetti, though I don't make a very good one." His head tilted towards Leigh, realizing he'd almost seen her underwear before scrabbling off. "..Battle Axe is calling," he muttered to Sally and pressed his hands onto the table. "Sáte do.." Dusting off his hands he'd bow to the child, "I really appreciate the Cake. Thank you for thinking of me and giving me it. I'll set up a tab here for you so you can get free nomz whenever you need it. Feel I owe you that much, 'N here's my number if you get a phone and you need some help cha," and thus he did meander back to his chair with a thunk, leaving behind his calling card. A piece of paper with a goofy looking Fox and his number.
[16:20] Amara giggled at Ayr. "All that commotion for a hat?" She knew she probably should not sound so surprised; it's Ayr after all. "It's your second leg? Maybe you should see Imrie or the folks at Straylight for a stronger limb, Nik." She glanced back to Leigh, leaned over to check, then asked, "Black...silk or satin I think. Are my eyes mistaken then?" Amara had seen Leigh in less so this hardly bugged her. "You're closer to the tomboy side of the scale than the overly girl side, Leigh. Still wearing skirts and other feminine attire, so calling you a tomboy outright isn't correct, but you aren't walking about half nude."

The problem of condensation forming on equipment may occur in either cold or tropical climates. In cold climates, it occurs when equipment is taken from the cold outdoors to the warm indoors. In tropical climates, it occurs when equipment is taken from a cold air-conditioned room to the warm humid outdoors. In both situations, warm moisture forms on the cold equipment.
To protect your equipment from the moisture, just before you move the cold equipment into a warm environment, place the equipment in a plastic bag, squeeze the air out of the bag, and seal the bag. As the cold equipment warms, the moisture in the warm air will condense on the plastic bag instead of directly on the equipment. After the equipment has acclimated to the temperature change, you may safely remove it from the bag.
For me, the problem is not condensation damaging my equipment. Instead, I have a bigger problem with condensation forming on the lens and preventing me from getting clear shots until the condensation dissipates. This is especially annoying when I am shooting a wedding and have to wait 20-minutes before I can get a decent shot.
The above two photos were taken when I was visiting a zoo while on vacation. I had been shooting outdoors on a cold winter day. When I went into a warm, humid, butterfly sanctuary, my compact digital camera immediately fell victim to condensation. The left image was barely distinguishable due to the condensation. The right image was recognizable as a plate of butterfly food. Thank goodness I was not in a hurry because I had to wait 18 minutes for the condensation to dissipate before I could capture the image on the right.
While the C-141A Starlifter had done well in the 1960s, especially in supply efforts over Vietnam, the aircraft had one glaring problem: it would “bulk out” before it reached its projected payload weight: the fuselage would be full, but the aircraft was capable of carrying more. In response to this and the C-141’s need for fueling stops on long trips, the USAF began upgrading the C-141A fleet to C-141B standard.
By adding two plugs fore and aft of the wings, the fuselage was stretched 23 feet. While the Starlifter was still incapable of carrying oversize loads, it now could carry up to its full weight. Inflight refuelling capability was also added. All surviving C-141As were upgraded between 1977 and 1982 to B standard, essentially adding 90 new C-141s to the fleet without building new aircraft. With the C-5B Galaxy also entering service, the C-141B gave the USAF unmatched air transport capability, something that would be very useful in time of war. Its first wartime service would be Operation Desert Shield, the buildup to the First Gulf War of 1991. Starlifters carried nearly half of all payloads delivered to the Southwest Asia theater.
The 1990s would see the most use of the aircraft, especially over the wartorn former nations of Yugoslavia. During NATO efforts to resupply Bosnian towns cut off by Serbian forces, C-141s were flown from Rhein-Main airbase at low level over Bosnia, where cargo pallets were dropped from the rear filled with food. As these pallets could cause damage when they hit the ground, the pallets were replaced by food boxes tied together: these boxes would break apart in midair and float down on individual parachutes. These “food bombs” would be used later in other areas where the C-141 was unable to land. Other Rhein-Main based Starlifters made the trip into the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo, the airport of which was considered one of the most dangerous spots on earth, constantly subject to mortar and sniper fire, and required a diving approach to avoid being shot at by Serbian antiaircraft units posted in the mountains around the airport. C-141s and other NATO transports kept the city alive during its three-year siege, which finally ended in 1995.
In response to this, 13 C-141Bs were modified to SOLL II standard, with low-light vision equipment, GPS, and defensive chaff/flare countermeasures, for operations over high-threat areas or in conjunction with Special Forces units. Later, about a third of the lowest-timed Starlifters were modified to C-141C standard, with a new “glass” cockpit and upgraded avionics.
Despite the upgrade, the days of the C-141 were numbered. It was getting old, and wing cracks had begun to appear on older aircraft. As the C-17 Globemaster III was now coming into service, Starlifters began to be retired. The C-141Cs soldiered on long enough to be used in Afghanistan and Iraq, where they finally used their paratroop-carrying capability in combat, dropping elements of the 101st Airborne Division near Tikrit in northern Iraq. After 2004, the Starlifter was retired from active units and passed on to Air National Guard and Reserve units; the last eight operational C-141s were used to shuttle supplies into New Orleans after the Hurricane Katrina disaster of 2005. This was the Starlifter’s swan song, as after this operation ended the C-141 finally left USAF service after forty years of service. Of 285 aircraft, 19 were lost in accidents; 13 are preserved in museums.
The most famous C-141 ever flown, 66-0177 is known better by its nickname--the "Hanoi Taxi." First assigned as a C-141A to the 63rd Military Airlift Wing at Norton AFB, California, 66-0177 was a regular visitor to Southeast Asia on transport missions. A month after the Paris Peace Accords were signed, North Vietnam began the release of American prisoners of war held at the infamous "Hanoi Hilton"--in some cases, since 1965. 66-0177 was the first to land at Hanoi to pick up the first batch of 80 POWs, and as such became the first bit of America to welcome the prisoners home. Though only one of almost a dozen C-141s that brought POWs out of North Vietnam, 66-0177 was the first, and thus became dubbed the Hanoi Taxi.
Long after the Vietnam War was over, 66-0177 remained in service. In the early 1980s, it was stretched and became a C-141B, and was eventually assigned to the 445th Airlift Wing (USAF Reserve), based at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio; in the early 1990s, it received the C-141C upgrade. As the Taxi closed in on the end of her service life, she was repainted from her AMC Gray scheme to the older Military Airlift Command colors to commemorate the aircraft's history. As such, the Taxi became something of a touchstone and living history museum for former Vietnam POWs. In 2004, the Taxi made one final trip to Hanoi, this time to pick up the remains of two American servicemembers once listed as missing in action. Finally, in May 2006, it was retired and made the short flight from the main part of Wright-Patterson to the National Museum of the USAF.
Today the Hanoi Taxi sits in the Experimental Aircraft and Transport Gallery at the NMUSAF. As mentioned above, it carries the old white-over-gray MAC scheme, complete with MAC stripe on the tail (though it reads "AFRC" for Air Force Reserve Command). The aircraft is open to the public to tour the cavernous cargo bay, as well as see the signatures of POWs who signed the interior.
The causes of sexual problems are as varied and complex as the human race. Some problems stem from a simple, reversible physical problem. Others can stem from more serious medical conditions, difficult life situations, or emotional problems. Still others have a combination of causes. Any of the following can contribute to sexual problems:
Relationship problems: Discord in other aspects of the relationship, such as distribution of labor, childrearing, or money, can cause sexual problems. Issues of control or even abuse in the relationship are especially harmful to sexual harmony. Such problems can prevent a woman from communicating her sexual wants and needs to her partner.
Emotional problems: Depression, anxiety (about sex or other things), stress, resentment, and guilt can all affect a woman's sexual function.
Insufficient stimulation: A woman's (or her partner's) lack of knowledge about sexual stimulation and response may prevent a woman from achieving a satisfactory experience. Poor communication between partners can also be a culprit here.
Gynecologic problems: A number of pelvic disorders can cause pain in intercourse and thus decrease satisfaction.
Vaginal dryness: The most common reason for this in younger women is insufficient stimulation. In older women, the decrease in estrogen that occurs in perimenopause or menopause is the cause of vaginal dryness. Poor lubrication can also be linked to hormone imbalances and other illnesses and to certain medications. It can inhibit arousal or make intercourse uncomfortable.
Vaginismus: This is a painful spasm of the muscles surrounding the vaginal opening that causes the vaginal opening to "tighten." It can prevent penetration or make penetration extremely painful. Vaginismus can be caused by injuries or scars from surgery, abuse, or childbirth, by infection, or by irritation from douches, spermicides, or condoms. It can also be caused by fear.
Sexually transmitted diseases: Gonorrhea, herpes, genital warts, chlamydia, and syphilis are infectious diseases spread by sexual contact. They can cause changes in the genitals that make sex uncomfortable or even painful.
Vaginitis: Inflammation and irritation of vaginal tissues due to infection or other causes can make intercourse uncomfortable or painful.
Endometriosis, pelvic mass, ovarian cyst, surgical scars: Any of these can cause an obstruction or anatomical changes that prevent intercourse or make it difficult or painful.
Pelvic inflammatory disease: This is an infection of the vagina that moves up into the cervix, uterus, and ovaries. It can be very painful on its own and make intercourse extremely painful.
Nerve damage after surgery: Unavoidable cutting of small nerves during pelvic surgery (such as hysterectomy) may decrease sensation and response.
Physical conditions: Many physical or medical conditions can decrease a woman's satisfaction with her sex life.
Tiredness (fatigue)
Chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease
Cancer
Neurologic disorders
Vascular (blood flow) disorders
Hormonal imbalances
Menopause
Pregnancy
Alcohol or drug abuse
Medications: Certain medications can reduce desire or arousal. One well-known group of drugs that have this effect are the selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) group of antidepressants, which includes drugs such as Prozac and Zoloft. Others include certain chemotherapy drugs, drugs for high blood pressure, and antipsychotic medications.
Other medical treatments: Treatments such as radiation therapy for certain types of cancer can reduce vaginal lubrication. They can also make skin and the membranes lining the genitals tender and sensitive.
History of abuse: A woman who has suffered sexual or other abuse may have trouble trusting her partner enough to relax and become aroused. She may have feelings of fear, guilt, or resentment that get in the way of a satisfactory experience, even if she cares deeply about her current partner.
Attitudes toward sex: Many people, either because of the way they were brought up or because of earlier bad experiences, don't view sex as a normal and enjoyable part of a couple's relationship. They may associate sex or sexual feelings with shame, guilt, fear, or anger. On the other hand are people who have unrealistic expectations about sex. Portrayals of sex in television and movies as always easy and fantastic mislead some people into believing that is how it is in real life. These people are disappointed or even distressed when sex is sometimes not earth-shattering or when a problem occurs.
Sexual problems of the partner: If a woman's partner has sexual problems, such as impotence or lack of desire, this can inhibit her own satisfaction. Continue Reading
Bangkok (English pronunciation: /ˈbæŋkɒk/) is the capital and most populous city of Thailand. It is known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (กรุงเทพมหานคร, pronounced [krūŋ tʰêːp mahǎː nákʰɔ̄ːn] or simply Krung Thep. The city occupies 1,568.7 square kilometres (605.7 sq mi) in the Chao Phraya River delta in Central Thailand, and has a population of over 8 million, or 12.6 percent of the country's population. Over 14 million people (22.2 percent) live within the surrounding Bangkok Metropolitan Region, making Bangkok an extreme primate city, significantly dwarfing Thailand's other urban centres in terms of importance.
Bangkok traces its roots to a small trading post during the Ayutthaya Kingdom in the 15th century, which eventually grew and became the site of two capital cities: Thonburi in 1768 and Rattanakosin in 1782. Bangkok was at the heart of the modernization of Siam - later renamed Thailand - during the late 19th century, as the country faced pressures from the West. The city was at the centre of Thailand's political struggles throughout the 20th century, as the country abolished absolute monarchy, adopted constitutional rule and underwent numerous coups and several uprisings. The city grew rapidly during the 1960s through the 1980s and now exerts a significant impact on Thailand's politics, economy, education, media and modern society.
The Asian investment boom in the 1980s and 1990s led many multinational corporations to locate their regional headquarters in Bangkok. The city is now a major regional force in finance and business. It is an international hub for transport and health care, and has emerged as a regional centre for the arts, fashion and entertainment. The city is well known for its vibrant street life and cultural landmarks, as well as its notorious red-light districts. The historic Grand Palace and Buddhist temples including Wat Arun and Wat Pho stand in contrast with other tourist attractions such as the nightlife scenes of Khaosan Road and Patpong. Bangkok is among the world's top tourist destinations. It is named the most visited city in MasterCard's Global Destination Cities Index, and was named "World's Best City" for four consecutive years by Travel + Leisure magazine.
Bangkok's rapid growth amidst little urban planning and regulation has resulted in a haphazard cityscape and inadequate infrastructure systems. Limited roads, despite an extensive expressway network, together with substantial private car usage, have led to chronic and crippling traffic congestion, which caused severe air pollution in the 1990s. The city has since turned to public transport in an attempt to solve this major problem. Five rapid transit lines are now in operation, with more systems under construction or planned by the national government and the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.
HISTORY
The history of Bangkok dates at least back to the early 15th century, when it was a village on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River, under the rule of Ayutthaya. Because of its strategic location near the mouth of the river, the town gradually increased in importance. Bangkok initially served as a customs outpost with forts on both sides of the river, and became the site of a siege in 1688 in which the French were expelled from Siam. After the fall of Ayutthaya to the Burmese Empire in 1767, the newly declared King Taksin established his capital at the town, which became the base of the Thonburi Kingdom. In 1782, King Phutthayotfa Chulalok (Rama I) succeeded Taksin, moved the capital to the eastern bank's Rattanakosin Island, thus founding the Rattanakosin Kingdom. The City Pillar was erected on 21 April, which is regarded as the date of foundation of the present city.
Bangkok's economy gradually expanded through busy international trade, first with China, then with Western merchants returning in the early-to-mid 19th century. As the capital, Bangkok was the centre of Siam's modernization as it faced pressure from Western powers in the late 19th century. The reigns of Kings Mongkut (Rama IV, 1851–68) and Chulalongkorn (Rama V, 1868–1910) saw the introduction of the steam engine, printing press, rail transport and utilities infrastructure in the city, as well as formal education and healthcare. Bangkok became the centre stage for power struggles between the military and political elite as the country abolished absolute monarchy in 1932. It was subject to Japanese occupation and Allied bombing during World War II, but rapidly grew in the post-war period as a result of United States developmental aid and government-sponsored investment. Bangkok's role as an American military R&R destination boosted its tourism industry as well as firmly establishing it as a sex tourism destination. Disproportionate urban development led to increasing income inequalities and unprecedented migration from rural areas into Bangkok; its population surged from 1.8 to 3 million in the 1960s. Following the United States' withdrawal from Vietnam in 1973, Japanese businesses took over as leaders in investment, and the expansion of export-oriented manufacturing led to growth of the financial market in Bangkok. Rapid growth of the city continued through the 1980s and early 1990s, until it was stalled by the 1997 Asian financial crisis. By then, many public and social issues had emerged, among them the strain on infrastructure reflected in the city's notorious traffic jams. Bangkok's role as the nation's political stage continues to be seen in strings of popular protests, from the student uprisings in 1973 and 1976, anti-military demonstrations in 1992, and successive anti-government demonstrations by the "Yellow Shirt", "Red Shirt" and "Light blue Shirt" movements from 2008 onwards.
Administration of the city was first formalized by King Chulalongkorn in 1906, with the establishment of Monthon Krung Thep Phra Maha Nakhon (มณฑลกรุงเทพพระมหานคร) as a national subdivision. In 1915 the monthon was split into several provinces, the administrative boundaries of which have since further changed. The city in its current form was created in 1972 with the formation of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA), following the merger of Phra Nakhon Province on the eastern bank of the Chao Phraya and Thonburi Province on the west during the previous year.
NAME
The etymology of the name Bangkok (บางกอก, pronounced in Thai as [bāːŋ kɔ̀ːk] is not absolutely clear. Bang is a Thai word meaning "a village situated on a stream", and the name might have been derived from Bang Ko (บางเกาะ), ko meaning "island", a reference to the area's landscape which was carved by rivers and canals. Another theory suggests that it is shortened from Bang Makok (บางมะกอก), makok being the name of Elaeocarpus hygrophilus, a plant bearing olive-like fruit.[a] This is supported by the fact that Wat Arun, a historic temple in the area, used to be named Wat Makok. Officially, however, the town was known as Thonburi Si Mahasamut (ธนบุรีศรีมหาสมุทร, from Pali and Sanskrit, literally "city of treasures gracing the ocean") or Thonburi, according to Ayutthaya chronicles. Bangkok was likely a colloquial name, albeit one widely adopted by foreign visitors, whose continued use of the name finally resulted in it being officially adopted with the creation of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration.
When King Rama I established his new capital on the river's eastern bank, the city inherited Ayutthaya's ceremonial name, of which there were many variants, including Krung Thep Thawarawadi Si Ayutthaya (กรุงเทพทวารวดีศรีอยุธยา) and Krung Thep Maha Nakhon Si Ayutthaya (กรุงเทพมหานครศรีอยุธยา). Edmund Roberts, visiting the city as envoy of the United States in 1833, noted that the city, since becoming capital, was known as Sia-Yut'hia, and this is the name used in international treaties of the period. Today, the city is known in Thai as Krung Thep Maha Nakhon (กรุงเทพมหานคร) or simply as Krung Thep (กรุงเทพฯ). Its full ceremonial name, which came into use during the reign of King Mongkut, reads as follows:
Krungthepmahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amonphimanawatansathit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit
กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยา มหาดิลกภพ นพรัตนราชธานีบูรีรมย์ อุดมราชนิเวศน์มหาสถาน อมรพิมานอวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยวิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์
The name, composed of Pali and Sanskrit root words, translates as:
City of angels, great city of immortals, magnificent city of the nine gems, seat of the king, city of royal palaces, home of gods incarnate, erected by Vishvakarman at Indra's behest.
The name is listed in Guinness World Records as the world's longest place name, at 168 letters. Thai school children are taught the full name, although few can explain its meaning as many of the words are archaic, and known to few. Most Thais who recall the full name do so because of its use in a popular song, "Krung Thep Maha Nakhon" (1989) by Asanee–Wasan and will often recount it by singing it, much as an English speaker might sing the alphabet song to recite the alphabet. The entirety of the lyrics is just the name of the city repeated over and over.
GOVERNMENT
The city of Bangkok is locally governed by the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA). Although its boundaries are at the provincial (changwat) level, unlike the other 76 provinces Bangkok is a special administrative area whose governor is directly elected to serve a four-year term. The governor, together with four appointed deputies, form the executive body, who implement policies through the BMA civil service headed by the Permanent Secretary for the BMA. In separate elections, each district elects one or more city councillors, who form the Bangkok Metropolitan Council. The council is the BMA's legislative body, and has power over municipal ordinances and the city's budget. However, after the coup of 2014 all local elections have been cancelled and the council has been appointed by government on September 15 2014. The current Bangkok Governor is Police General Aswin Kwanmuang, who was appointed by the military government on October 26 following the suspension of the last elected governor M.R. Sukhumbhand Paribatra.
Bangkok is subdivided into fifty districts (khet, equivalent to amphoe in the other provinces), which are further subdivided into 169 subdistricts (khwaeng, equivalent to tambon). Each district is managed by a district director appointed by the governor. District councils, elected to four-year terms, serve as advisory bodies to their respective district directors.
The BMA is divided into sixteen departments, each overseeing different aspects of the administration's responsibilities. Most of these responsibilities concern the city's infrastructure, and include city planning, building control, transportation, drainage, waste management and city beautification, as well as education, medical and rescue services. Many of these services are provided jointly with other agencies. The BMA has the authority to implement local ordinances, although civil law enforcement falls under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Bureau.
The seal of the city shows Hindu god Indra riding in the clouds on Airavata, a divine white elephant known in Thai as Erawan. In his hand Indra holds his weapon, the vajra.[19] The seal is based on a painting done by Prince Naris. The tree symbol of Bangkok is Ficus benjamina. The official city slogan, adopted in 2012, reads:
As built by deities, the administrative center, dazzling palaces and temples, the capital of Thailand
กรุงเทพฯ ดุจเทพสร้าง เมืองศูนย์กลางการปกครอง วัดวังงามเรืองรอง เมืองหลวงของประเทศไทย
As the capital of Thailand, Bangkok is the seat of all branches of the national government. The Government House, Parliament House and Supreme, Administrative and Constitutional Courts are all located within the city. Bangkok is the site of the Grand Palace and Chitralada Villa, respectively the official and de facto residence of the king. Most government ministries also have headquarters and offices in the capital.
GEOGRAPHY
The Bangkok city proper covers an area of 1,568.737 square kilometres, ranking 69th among the other 76 provinces of Thailand. Of this, about 700 square kilometres form the built-up urban area. It is ranked 73rd in the world in terms of land area by City Mayors. The city's urban sprawl reaches into parts of the six other provinces it borders, namely, in clockwise order from northwest: Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani, Chachoengsao, Samut Prakan, Samut Sakhon and Nakhon Pathom. With the exception of Chachoengsao, these provinces, together with Bangkok, form the greater Bangkok Metropolitan Region.
PARKS AND GREEN ZONES
Bangkok has several parks, although these amount to a per-capita total park area of only 1.82 square metres in the city proper. Total green space for the entire city is moderate, at 11.8 square metres per person; however, in the more densely built-up areas of the city these numbers are as low as 1.73 and 0.72 square metres per person. More recent numbers claim that there is only 3.3 m2 of green space per person, compared to an average of 39 m2 in other cities across Asia. Bangkokians thus have 10 times less green space than is standard in the region's urban areas. Green belt areas include about 700 square kilometres of rice paddies and orchards in the eastern and western edges of the city proper, although their primary purpose is to serve as flood detention basins rather than to limit urban expansion. Bang Kachao, a 20-square-kilometre conservation area in an oxbow of the Chao Phraya, lies just across the southern riverbank districts, in Samut Prakan Province. A master development plan has been proposed to increase total park area to 4 square metres per person.
Bangkok's largest parks include the centrally located Lumphini Park near the Si Lom – Sathon business district with an area of 57.6 hectares, the 80-hectare Suanluang Rama IX in the east of the city, and the Chatuchak–Queen Sirikit–Wachirabenchathat park complex in northern Bangkok, which has a combined area of 92 hectares.
DEMOGRAPHY
The city of Bangkok has a population of 8,280,925 according to the 2010 census, or 12.6 percent of the national population. However, there are only 5,692,284 registered residents, belonging to 2,672,423 households. A large number of Bangkok's daytime population commutes from surrounding provinces in the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, the total population of which is 14,565,547. Bangkok is a cosmopolitan city; the census showed that it is home to 81,570 Japanese and 55,893 Chinese nationals, as well as 117,071 expatriates from other Asian countries, 48,341 from Europe, 23,418 from the Americas, 5,289 from Australia and 3,022 from Africa. Immigrants from neighbouring countries include 303,595 Burmese, 63,438 Cambodians and 18,126 Lao.
Although it has been Thailand's largest population centre since its establishment as capital city in 1782, Bangkok grew only slightly throughout the 18th and early 19th centuries. British diplomat John Crawfurd, visiting in 1822, estimated its population at no more than 50,000. As a result of Western medicine brought by missionaries as well as increased immigration from both within Siam and overseas, Bangkok's population gradually increased as the city modernized in the late 19th century. This growth became even more pronounced in the 1930s, following the discovery of antibiotics. Although family planning and birth control was introduced in the 1960s, the lowered birth rate was more than offset by increased migration from the provinces as economic expansion accelerated. Only in the 1990s have Bangkok's population growth rates decreased, following the national rate. Thailand had long since become highly centralized around the capital. In 1980, Bangkok's population was fifty-one times that of Hat Yai and Songkhla, the second-largest urban centre, making it the world's most prominent primate city.
The majority of Bangkok's population are of Thai ethnicity,[d] although details on the city's ethnic make-up are unavailable, as the national census does not document race.[e] Bangkok's cultural pluralism dates back to the early days of its foundation; several ethnic communities were formed by immigrants and forced settlers including the Khmer, Northern Thai, Lao, Vietnamese, Tavoyan, Mon and Malay. Most prominent were the Chinese, who played major roles in the city's trade and became the majority of Bangkok's population - estimates include up to three-fourths in 1828 and almost half in the 1950s. However, Chinese immigration was restricted from the 1930s and effectively ceased after the Chinese Revolution in 1949. Their prominence subsequently declined as most of younger generations of Thai Chinese have integrated and adopted a Thai identity. Bangkok is still nevertheless home to a large Chinese community, with the greatest concentration in Yaowarat, Bangkok's Chinatown. The majority (91 percent) of the city's population is Buddhist. Other religions include Islam (4.7%), Christianity (2.0%), Hinduism (0.5%), Sikhism (0.1%) and Confucianism (0.1%).
Apart from Yaowarat, Bangkok also has several other distinct ethnic neighbourhoods. The Indian community is centred in Phahurat, where the Gurdwara Siri Guru Singh Sabha, founded in 1933, is located. Ban Khrua on Saen Saep Canal is home to descendants of the Cham who settled in the late 18th century. Although the Portuguese who settled during the Thonburi period have ceased to exist as a distinct community, their past is reflected in Santa Kruz Church, on the west bank of the river. Likewise, the Assumption Cathedral on Charoen Krung Road is among many European-style buildings in the Old Farang Quarter, where European diplomats and merchants lived during the late 19th to early 20th centuries. Nearby, the Haroon Mosque is the centre of a Muslim community. Newer expatriate communities exist along Sukhumvit Road, including the Japanese community near Soi Phrom Phong and Soi Thong Lo, and the Arab and North African neighbourhood along Soi Nana. Sukhumvit Plaza, a mall on Soi Sukhumvit 12, is popularly known as Korea Town.
ECONOMY
Bangkok is the economic centre of Thailand, and the heart of the country's investment and development. In 2010, the city had an economic output of 3.142 trillion baht (98.34 billion US dollars), contributing 29.1 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP). This amounted to a per-capita GDP value of ฿456,911 ($14,301), almost three times the national average of ฿160,556 ($5,025). The Bangkok Metropolitan Region had a combined output of ฿4.773tn ($149.39bn), or 44.2 percent of GDP. Bangkok's economy ranks as the sixth among Asian cities in terms of per-capita GDP, after Singapore, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Osaka–Kobe and Seoul.
Wholesale and retail trade is the largest sector in the city's economy, contributing 24.0 percent of Bangkok's gross provincial product. It is followed by manufacturing (14.3%); real estate, renting and business activities (12.4%); transport and communications (11.6%); and financial intermediation (11.1%). Bangkok alone accounts for 48.4 percent of Thailand's service sector, which in turn constitutes 49.0 percent of GDP. When the Bangkok Metropolitan Region is considered, manufacturing is the most significant contributor at 28.2 percent of the gross regional product, reflecting the density of industry in the Bangkok's neighbouring provinces. The automotive industry based around Greater Bangkok is the largest production hub in Southeast Asia. Tourism is also a significant contributor to Bangkok's economy, generating ฿427.5bn ($13.38bn) in revenue in 2010.
The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET) is located on Ratchadaphisek Road in inner Bangkok. The SET, together with the Market for Alternative Investment (mai) has 648 listed companies as of the end of 2011, with a combined market capitalization of 8.485 trillion baht ($267.64bn). Due to the large amount of foreign representation, Thailand has for several years been a mainstay of the Southeast Asian economy and a centre of Asian business. The Globalization and World Cities Research Network ranks Bangkok as an "Alpha−" world city, and it is ranked 59th in Z/Yen's Global Financial Centres Index 11.
Bangkok is home to the headquarters of all of Thailand's major commercial banks and financial institutions, as well as the country's largest companies. A large number of multinational corporations base their regional headquarters in Bangkok due to the lower cost of the workforce and firm operations relative to other major Asian business centres. Seventeen Thai companies are listed on the Forbes 2000, all of which are based in the capital, including PTT, the only Fortune Global 500 company in Thailand.
Income inequality is a major issue in Bangkok, especially between relatively unskilled lower-income immigrants from rural provinces and neighbouring countries, and middle-class professionals and business elites. Although absolute poverty rates are low - only 0.64 percent of Bangkok's registered residents were living under the poverty line in 2010, compared to a national average of 7.75 - economic disparity is still substantial. The city has a Gini coefficient of 0.48, indicating a high level of inequality.
CULTURE
The culture of Bangkok reflects its position as Thailand's centre of wealth and modernisation. The city has long been the portal of entry of Western concepts and material goods, which have been adopted and blended with Thai values to various degrees by its residents. This is most evident in the lifestyles of the expanding middle class. Conspicuous consumption serves as a display of economic and social status, and shopping centres are popular weekend hangouts. Ownership of electronics and consumer products such as mobile phones is ubiquitous. This has been accompanied by a degree of secularism, as religion's role in everyday life has rather diminished. Although such trends have spread to other urban centres, and, to a degree, the countryside, Bangkok remains at the forefront of social change.
A distinct feature of Bangkok is the ubiquity of street vendors selling goods ranging from food items to clothing and accessories. It has been estimated that the city may have over 100,000 hawkers. While the BMA has authorised the practice in 287 sites, the majority of activity in another 407 sites takes place illegally. Although they take up pavement space and block pedestrian traffic, many of the city's residents depend on these vendors for their meals, and the BMA's efforts to curb their numbers have largely been unsuccessful.
In 2015, however, the BMA, with support from the National Council for Peace and Order (Thailand's ruling military junta), began cracking down on street vendors in a bid to reclaim public space. Many famous market neighbourhoods were affected, including Khlong Thom, Saphan Lek, and the flower market at Pak Khlong Talat. Nearly 15,000 vendors were evicted from 39 public areas in 2016. While some applauded the efforts to focus on pedestrian rights, others have expressed concern that gentrification would lead to the loss of the city's character and adverse changes to people's way of life.
FESTIVALS AND EVENTS
The residents of Bangkok celebrate many of Thailand's annual festivals. During Songkran on 13–15 April, traditional rituals as well as water fights take place throughout the city. Loi Krathong, usually in November, is accompanied by the Golden Mount Fair. New Year celebrations take place at many venues, the most prominent being the plaza in front of CentralWorld. Observances related to the royal family are held primarily in Bangkok. Wreaths are laid at King Chulalongkorn's equestrian statue in the Royal Plaza on 23 October, which is King Chulalongkorn Memorial Day. The present king's and queen's birthdays, respectively on 5 December and 12 August, are marked as Thailand's national Father's Day and national Mother's Day. These national holidays are celebrated by royal audiences on the day's eve, in which the king or queen gives a speech, and public gatherings on the day of the observance. The king's birthday is also marked by the Royal Guards' parade.
Sanam Luang is the site of the Thai Kite, Sport and Music Festival, usually held in March, and the Royal Ploughing Ceremony which takes place in May. The Red Cross Fair at the beginning of April is held at Suan Amporn and the Royal Plaza, and features numerous booths offering goods, games and exhibits. The Chinese New Year (January–February) and Vegetarian Festival (September–October) are celebrated widely by the Chinese community, especially in Yaowarat.
TRANSPORT
Although Bangkok's canals historically served as a major mode of transport, they have long since been surpassed in importance by land traffic. Charoen Krung Road, the first to be built by Western techniques, was completed in 1864. Since then, the road network has vastly expanded to accommodate the sprawling city. A complex elevated expressway network helps bring traffic into and out of the city centre, but Bangkok's rapid growth has put a large strain on infrastructure, and traffic jams have plagued the city since the 1990s. Although rail transport was introduced in 1893 and electric trams served the city from 1894 to 1968, it was only in 1999 that Bangkok's first rapid transit system began operation. Older public transport systems include an extensive bus network and boat services which still operate on the Chao Phraya and two canals. Taxis appear in the form of cars, motorcycles, and "tuk-tuk" auto rickshaws.
Bangkok is connected to the rest of the country through the national highway and rail networks, as well as by domestic flights to and from the city's two international airports. Its centuries-old maritime transport of goods is still conducted through Khlong Toei Port.
The BMA is largely responsible for overseeing the construction and maintenance of the road network and transport systems through its Public Works Department and Traffic and Transportation Department. However, many separate government agencies are also in charge of the individual systems, and much of transport-related policy planning and funding is contributed to by the national government.
ROADS
Road-based transport is the primary mode of travel in Bangkok. Due to the city's organic development, its streets do not follow an organized grid structure. Forty-eight major roads link the different areas of the city, branching into smaller streets and lanes (soi) which serve local neighbourhoods. Eleven bridges over the Chao Phraya link the two sides of the city, while several expressway and motorway routes bring traffic into and out of the city centre and link with nearby provinces.
Bangkok's rapid growth in the 1980s resulted in sharp increases in vehicle ownership and traffic demand, which have since continued - in 2006 there were 3,943,211 in-use vehicles in Bangkok, of which 37.6 percent were private cars and 32.9 percent were motorcycles. These increases, in the face of limited carrying capacity, caused severe traffic congestion evident by the early 1990s. The extent of the problem is such that the Thai Traffic Police has a unit of officers trained in basic midwifery in order to assist deliveries which do not reach hospital in time. While Bangkok's limited road surface area (8 percent, compared to 20–30 percent in most Western cities) is often cited as a major cause of its traffic jams, other factors, including high vehicle ownership rate relative to income level, inadequate public transport systems, and lack of transportation demand management, also play a role. Efforts to alleviate the problem have included the construction of intersection bypasses and an extensive system of elevated highways, as well as the creation of several new rapid transit systems. The city's overall traffic conditions, however, remain bad.
Traffic has been the main source of air pollution in Bangkok, which reached serious levels in the 1990s. However, efforts to improve air quality by improving fuel quality and enforcing emission standards, among others, have been largely successful. Atmospheric particulate matter levels dropped from 81 micrograms per cubic metre in 1997 to 43 in 2007.
Although the BMA has created thirty signed bicycle routes along several roads totalling 230 kilometres, cycling is still largely impractical, especially in the city centre. Most of these bicycle lanes share the pavement with pedestrians. Poor surface maintenance, encroachment by hawkers and street vendors, and a hostile environment for cyclists and pedestrians, make cycling and walking unpopular methods of getting around in Bangkok.
BUSES AND TAXIS
Bangkok has an extensive bus network providing local transit services within the Greater Bangkok area. The Bangkok Mass Transit Authority (BMTA) operates a monopoly on bus services, with substantial concessions granted to private operators. Buses, minibus vans, and song thaeo operate on a total of 470 routes throughout the region. A separate bus rapid transit system owned by the BMA has been in operation since 2010. Known simply as the BRT, the system currently consists of a single line running from the business district at Sathon to Ratchaphruek on the western side of the city. The Transport Co., Ltd. is the BMTA's long-distance counterpart, with services to all provinces operating out of Bangkok.
Taxis are ubiquitous in Bangkok, and are a popular form of transport. As of August 2012, there are 106,050 cars, 58,276 motorcycles and 8,996 tuk-tuk motorized tricycles cumulatively registered for use as taxis. Meters have been required for car taxis since 1992, while tuk-tuk fares are usually negotiated. Motorcycle taxis operate from regulated ranks, with either fixed or negotiable fares, and are usually employed for relatively short journeys.
Despite their popularity, taxis have gained a bad reputation for often refusing passengers when the requested route is not to the driver's convenience. Motorcycle taxis were previously unregulated, and subject to extortion by organized crime gangs. Since 2003, registration has been required for motorcycle taxi ranks, and drivers now wear distinctive numbered vests designating their district of registration and where they are allowed to accept passengers.
RAIL SYSTEMS
Bangkok is the location of Hua Lamphong Railway Station, the main terminus of the national rail network operated by the State Railway of Thailand (SRT). In addition to long-distance services, the SRT also operates a few daily commuter trains running from and to the outskirts of the city during the rush hour.
Bangkok is currently served by three rapid transit systems: the BTS Skytrain, the underground MRT and the elevated Airport Rail Link. Although proposals for the development of rapid transit in Bangkok had been made since 1975, it was only in 1999 that the BTS finally began operation.
The BTS consists of two lines, Sukhumvit and Silom, with thirty stations along 30.95 kilometres. The MRT opened for use in July 2004, and currently consists of two line, the Blue Line and Purple Line. The Airport Rail Link, opened in August 2010, connects the city centre to Suvarnabhumi Airport to the east. Its eight stations span a distance of 28 kilometres.
Although initial passenger numbers were low and their service area remains limited to the inner city, these systems have become indispensable to many commuters. The BTS reported an average of 600,000 daily trips in 2012, while the MRT had 240,000 passenger trips per day.
As of 2016, construction work is ongoing to extend BTS and MRT, as well as several additional transit lines, including the Light Red grade-separated commuter rail line. The entire Mass Rapid Transit Master Plan in Bangkok Metropolitan Region consists of eight main lines and four feeder lines totalling 508 kilometres to be completed by 2029. In addition to rapid transit and heavy rail lines, there have been proposals for several monorail systems.
WATER TRANSPORT
Although much diminished from its past prominence, water-based transport still plays an important role in Bangkok and the immediate upstream and downstream provinces. Several water buses serve commuters daily. The Chao Phraya Express Boat serves thirty-four stops along the river, carrying an average of 35,586 passengers per day in 2010, while the smaller Khlong Saen Saep boat service serves twenty-seven stops on Saen Saep Canal with 57,557 daily passengers. Long-tail boats operate on fifteen regular routes on the Chao Phraya, and passenger ferries at thirty-two river crossings served an average of 136,927 daily passengers in 2010.
Bangkok Port, popularly known by its location as Khlong Toei Port, was Thailand's main international port from its opening in 1947 until it was superseded by the deep-sea Laem Chabang Port in 1991. It is primarily a cargo port, though its inland location limits access to ships of 12,000 deadweight tonnes or less. The port handled 11,936,855 tonnes of cargo in the first eight months of the 2010 fiscal year, about 22 percent the total of the country's international ports.
AIRPORTS
Bangkok is one of Asia's busiest air transport hubs. Two commercial airports serve the city, the older Don Mueang International Airport and the new Bangkok International Airport, commonly known as Suvarnabhumi. Suvarnabhumi, which replaced Don Mueang as Bangkok's main airport at its opening in 2006, served 52,808,013 passengers in 2015, making it the world's 20th busiest airport by passenger volume. This amount of traffic is already over its designed capacity of 45 million passengers. Don Mueang reopened for domestic flights in 2007, and resumed international services focusing on low-cost carriers in October 2012. Suvarnabhumi is undergoing expansion to increase its capacity to 60 million, which is expected to be completed by 2016.

Bangkok has long been the centre of modern education in Thailand. The first schools in the country were established here in the later 19th century, and there are now 1,351 schools in the city. The city is home to the country's five oldest universities, Chulalongkorn, Thammasat, Kasetsart, Mahidol and Silpakorn, founded between 1917 and 1943. The city has since continued its dominance, especially in higher education; the majority of the country's universities, both public and private, are located in Bangkok or the Metropolitan Region. Chulalongkorn and Mahidol are the only Thai universities to appear in the top 500 of the QS World University Rankings. King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi, also located in Bangkok, is the only Thai university in the top 400 of the 2012–13 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
Over the past few decades the general trend of pursuing a university degree has prompted the founding of new universities to meet the needs of Thai students. Bangkok became not only a place where immigrants and provincial Thais go for job opportunities, but also for a chance to receive a university degree. Ramkhamhaeng University emerged in 1971 as Thailand's first open university; it now has the highest enrolment in the country. The demand for higher education has led to the founding of many other universities and colleges, both public and private. While many universities have been established in major provinces, the Greater Bangkok region remains home to the greater majority of institutions, and the city's tertiary education scene remains over-populated with non-Bangkokians. The situation is not limited to higher education, either. In the 1960s, 60 to 70 percent of 10- to 19-year-olds who were in school had migrated to Bangkok for secondary education. This was due to both a lack of secondary schools in the provinces and perceived higher standards of education in the capital. Although this discrepancy has since largely abated, tens of thousands of students still compete for places in Bangkok's leading schools. Education has long been a prime factor in the centralization of Bangkok and will play a vital role in the government's efforts to decentralize the country.
HEALTHCARE
Much of Thailand's medical resources are disproportionately concentrated in the capital. In 2000, Bangkok had 39.6 percent of the country's doctors and a physician-to-population ratio of 1:794, compared to a median of 1:5,667 among all provinces. The city is home to 42 public hospitals, five of which are university hospitals, as well as 98 private hospitals and 4,063 registered clinics. The BMA operates nine public hospitals through its Medical Service Department, and its Health Department provides primary care through sixty-eight community health centres. Thailand's universal healthcare system is implemented through public hospitals and health centres as well as participating private providers.
Research-oriented medical school affiliates such as Siriraj, King Chulalongkorn Memorial and Ramathibodi Hospitals are among the largest in the country, and act as tertiary care centres, receiving referrals from distant parts of the country. Lately, especially in the private sector, there has been much growth in medical tourism, with hospitals such as Bumrungrad and Bangkok Hospital, among others, providing services specifically catering to foreigners. An estimated 200,000 medical tourists visited Thailand in 2011, making Bangkok the most popular global destination for medical tourism.
CRIME AND SAFETY
Bangkok has a relatively moderate crime rate when compared to urban counterparts around the world.[119] Traffic accidents are a major hazard, while natural disasters are rare. Intermittent episodes of political unrest and occasional terrorist attacks have resulted in losses of life.
Although the crime threat in Bangkok is relatively low, non-confrontational crimes of opportunity such as pick-pocketing, purse-snatching, and credit card fraud occur with frequency. Bangkok's growth since the 1960s has been followed by increasing crime rates partly driven by urbanisation, migration, unemployment and poverty. By the late 1980s, Bangkok's crime rates were about four times that of the rest of the country. The police have long been preoccupied with street crimes ranging from housebreaking to assault and murder. The 1990s saw the emergence of vehicle theft and organized crime, particularly by foreign gangs. Drug trafficking, especially that of ya ba methamphetamine pills, is also chronic.
According to police statistics, the most common complaint received by the Metropolitan Police Bureau in 2010 was housebreaking, with 12,347 cases. This was followed by 5,504 cases of motorcycle thefts, 3,694 cases of assault and 2,836 cases of embezzlement. Serious offences included 183 murders, 81 gang robberies, 265 robberies, 1 kidnapping and 9 arson cases. Offences against the state were by far more common, and included 54,068 drug-related cases, 17,239 cases involving prostitution and 8,634 related to gambling. The Thailand Crime Victim Survey conducted by the Office of Justice Affairs of the Ministry of Justice found that 2.7 percent of surveyed households reported a member being victim of a crime in 2007. Of these, 96.1 percent were crimes against property, 2.6 percent were crimes against life and body, and 1.4 percent were information-related crimes.
Political demonstrations and protests are common in Bangkok. While most events since 1992 had been peaceful, the series of protests alternately staged by the Yellow Shirts and Red Shirts since 2006 have often turned violent. Red Shirt demonstrations during March–May 2010 ended in a crackdown in which 92 were killed, including armed and unarmed protesters, security forces, civilians and journalists. Terrorist incidents have also occurred in Bangkok, most notably the 2015 Bangkok bombing at the Erawan shrine, and also a series of bombings on the 2006–07 New Year's Eve.

BLUE light services in Wisbech have come together to tackle the problem of inconsiderate parking in some of the town’s hotspots.
Wisbech firefighters yesterday (April11) took to the streets with PCSOs from Cambridgeshire Constabulary to highlight roads that a fire engine struggles to fit along owing to inconsiderate parking.
Nine fixed penalty notices were issued and the same number of verbal warnings were given to members of the public who were with their vehicles.
PCSO Lisa Mann said: “Parking inconsiderately not only causes unnecessary obstructions and frustrations to other road users but it can also make it difficult for emergency services to access certain areas in time of need.
“There are clear designated areas for parking within Wisbech and we encourage motorists to use them.”
Phil Pilbeam, watch commander at Wisbech Fire Station, said: “Inconsiderate parking, leading to problems with access for our fire engines, is an issue in a number of roads in Wisbech. Our crews have historically found getting along roads in North Brink, Hill Street, Union Street and the High Street a tight squeeze owing to the large number of cars double parked, parked on both sides of the road and sometimes also parked on double yellow lines. This can make it extremely hard and sometimes impossible for emergency vehicles to get through, which could cause a delay in a fire engine getting to an emergency incident.
“It is imperative that when drivers park their cars they leave enough room for a fire engine to pass – just remember, we could be trying to get to your home or to rescue you or your family another time.”
A fire engine measures 2.6 metres wide and 8 metres long. Drivers are asked to make sure they parked their cars sensibly to allow a vehicle of this size to get through.

"Consequências do Preconceito
Quem pratica o preconceito pode até achar essa palavra comum e não se importar com o que ela pode causar a quem o sofre.
A maioria das vítimas tentam suicídio, se escondem, se calam, vivem num mundo de transtorno, causando uma deterioração a saúde física e mental".
Quando eu comecei a trabalhar em Belford Roxo dando aulas na Escola Municipal São Bento no início do ano em 1995 após ser aprovada no concurso público do município, era muito difícil trabalhar, eu não conseguia nem mesmo circular pela escola devido as manifestações de hostilidade com relação a minha sexualidade. Era um ambiente extremamente hostil comigo porque as pessoas me consideravam homossexual e se manifestavam com preconceito. Eu ouvia inclusive durante as aulas ofensas por parte dos alunos da escola, eu recebia apelido, dava aulas sendo chamada de viado conforme informei à administração pública municipal em processos de 2003. Era alvo de chacotas não apenas dos alunos, outros profissionais da escola riam de mim, me chamavam por apelido, debochavam, ridicularizavam, compactuavam e faziam parte daquela realidade. Por muitos anos eu conseguia heroicamente enfrentar essa situação, mas chegou um momento em que o meu estado mental foi sendo fragilizado apresentando sintomas depressivos, principalmente no período após eu começar a ser tratada mal pela diretora Vera Lúcia Castelar (mat. 53165) da Escola Municipal São Bento ostensivamente. Eu era todos os dias chamada à sala da direção. Nada estava bom com o meu trabalho. Tudo o que eu fazia era considerado um lixo. As exigências e as responsabilidades eram muitas. Eu tinha que refazer o ponto equivocadamente todos os dias em que a diretora se encontrava na escola. Ela se recusava a entender até que a coordenadora do turno da noite Iranildes havia trocado o meu dia da terça-feira para a sexta-feira para que houvesse aluno na escola nesse dia à noite já que antes a escola ficava vazia; porque eles preferiam ficar "curtindo" na praça do Wona. Eu era acusada dia a dia de ser uma péssima profissional pela diretora Vera Lúcia. A diretora me culpava até do preconceito que eu sofria na escola e, por fim, com o apoio da Subsecretária de Educação Rosângela Maria Gonçalves de Oliveira não aceitou mais a minha presença na escola municipal São Bento onde eu trabalhava por quase 8 anos.

Eu trabalhava em sala de aula com pessoas entrando dentro da escola me jogando coisas. Muitas pessoas jogavam coisas para me acertar pelo lado de fora da escola. Muitas entravam dentro da escola para me agredir: me jogavam pedras, lama, cocô ... banho de terra conforme relatei em processos administrativos de 2003 arquivados pela Procuradoria Municipal de Belford Roxo. Quando a diretora entrava na sala de aula e via essa situação humilhante acontecendo, ela parava de falar, virava as costas e ía embora como se nada estivesse acontecendo. Quando eu pedia um posicionamento da diretora Vera, ela me dizia que aquilo acontecia por causa do meu jeito de ser. Aquilo parecia ser normal para a direção ou aquilo era exatamente o que a direção desejava que ocorresse.

em Belford Roxo
Uma equipe de aproximadamente 8 supervisores da Secretaria Municipal de Educação de Belford Roxo (SEMED) chegou a determinar que fossem colocadas proteções de madeira nos buracos das paredes em sala de aula da Escola Municipal São Bento devido a essas situações de constrangimento que ocorriam. Pena que isso só foi feito depois que eu fui obrigada, chantageada e coagida a sair desta escola.

Inúmeras as vezes em que chorei e que passo meus dias lembrando e relembrando esses tristes episódios que não consigo mais tirá-los da minha cabeça sentindo um vazio muito grande que não sei explicar.

Eu também informei a Prefeitura Municipal de Belford Roxo através de processos administrativos em 2003 que eu não me encontrava bem de saúde, tinha problemas, fazia uso de remédios para doença mental, precisava de ajuda psiquiátrica e psicológica, tudo isso de forma escrita, muito confusa e muito abatida. Mostrei nesses processos administrativos inclusive o relato do atendimento da emergência do Centro Psiquiátrico do Rio de Janeiro realizado em mim em 2003. Neste relato, o médico, que me atendeu na urgência, manifestava a necessidade de tratamento, acompanhamento psiquiátrico e a presença de doença mental.

Mesmo anos depois, cada fato do presente em um determinado momento no meu trabalho de professora em Belford Roxo estava ligado na minha mente a cada fato do passado realizado durante o meu trabalho profissional no município. Era como se as duas realidades fossem uma coisa só, as situações se repetiam.
Violencia Psicológica - Sequelas - Falta de disposição para realizar tarefas / Medo de enfrentar desafios / Raiva alimentada por si próprio / Tentativa de suicídio / Descrença em seu desempenho pessoal / Depressão permanente
Quando a subsecretária de educação Rosângela Maria Gonçalves de Oliveira me disse que eu iria morrer em 2002, eu acreditava que iria tomar um tiro, assim como eu passei a acreditar que eu estava marcada para ser executada a tiro quando a orientadora pedagógica Conceição (Maria da Conceição da Silva Pereira) me disse que eu tomaria um tiro dentro da sala dela na Escola Municipal Jorge Ayres de Lima em 2007.

A partir do instante em que a orientadora Conceição me falou que eu ía morrer em 2007, eu não conseguia mais me dedicar adequadamente, planejar aulas, dar aulas, pensar mais no futuro. Eu acreditava que eu era uma mártir, que eu era uma pessoa que já estava no fim da minha vida. Eu acreditava que o fim da minha vida já havia sido determinado e que eu nada poderia fazer quanto a isso. A minha realidade passou a ser outra diante dessa sentença de morte.
DECLARAÇÃO MÉDICA
20/08/2007 - A Sra Faiza Khálida apresentava tristeza, falta de prazer nas atividades, choro fácil, irritabilidade, impaciência com os alunos (era professora), insônia, ansiedade, cefaleias frequentes E DIFICULDADES PARA CUMPRIR SUAS TAREFAS NO TRABALHO

Muita coisa aconteceu depois disso na minha mente e no meu psicológico a partir daquele fato em 2007.
Em um dia em 2002 que eu estava diante da subsecretária de educação Rosângela Maria Gonçalves de Oliveira na Secretaria Municipal de Educação de Belford Roxo e ela me disse que poria um fim na minha vida, eu vi a manifestação plena do mal em um ser humano.
A Subsecretária de Educação Rosângela Maria mostrava que me odiava, que deseja o pior para mim. Ela fez o que pôde para que eu eu trabalhasse no lugar mais longe da minha residência, onde eu enfrentaria maior dificuldade para chegar à escola e consequentemente fosse mais difícil a realização do meu trabalho. Esse lugar era Nova Aurora.
A Subsecretária de Educação Rosângela Maria Gonçalves de Oliveira fez questão de me dizer que a partir daquele instante em 2002 eu teria de ser perfeita para continuar a ser professora porque se eu cometesse qualquer errinho que fosse, ela teria o motivo que desejava para que eu perdesse o meu emprego, fosse demitida e além disso, nunca mais arrumasse emprego em lugar nenhum. Ela queria me ver arruinada para sempre.

Após a ameaça de morte e ruína completa da Subsecretária de Educação Rosângela Maria Gonçalves de Oliveira, eu não morri fisicamente, morria psicologicamente, mas um professor da Escola Municipal São Bento que tornou público o que a Subsecretária de Educação Rosângela Maria e a diretora da escola Vera Lúcia Castelar (mat. 53165) faziam comigo naquela época, inclusive a ameaça de morte, e também através de reuniões na escola e abaixo-assinado contra o preconceito, foi assassinado com tiros.
Quando esse professor, que era homossexual, foi assassinado, eu fui informada de que eu não deveria ir ao enterro dele, pois eu poderia ser assassinada também se fosse.
A Subsecretária de Educação Rosângela Maria não conseguindo me enviar para o lugar que ela dizia ser o fim do mundo para mim, me colocou em uma matrícula na Escola Municipal Jorge Ayres de Lima, onde havia o caso de outro professor que era homossexual, que penava, surtava e foi assassinado.
Chegando na Escola Municipal Jorge Ayres de Lima, eu trabalhava em situação de regência humilhante. Era anunciada na unidade escolar da rede de educação de Belford Roxo como o professor tapa-buraco, que não tinha diário nem poderia reprovar. Tinha de entrar e sair das turmas sem hora certa, mal começando ou cortando o assunto, colocando em descrédito tudo o que eu fazia. Eu tinha de dar aulas para crianças do antigo nível "primário" em que eu não tinha especialização. Tinha de dar aulas de matemática, estudos sociais, ciências também sem ter formação e em desvio de função. Também tinha de dar aulas de história que deveriam ser dadas pelo posterior diretor da escola municipal Jorge Ayres de Lima José Carlos Neto Filho (matrícula 11/05236). Permanecia 6 tempos de aula na pior turma da escola em que todos os professores faltavam quando a carga horária da minha disciplina era de apenas 2 tempos SEMANAIS. Era como se eu desse 3 semanas de aulas em um único dia. Eu surtava na sala de aula.
A Secretária de Educação seguinte Maíses Rangel Suhett pôs um fim a processos administrativos onde eu pedia justiça pelo preconceito que eu passei, que teve como "pano de fundo" um relatório mentiroso e discriminatório elaborado pela diretora da escola Vera Lúcia Castelar (mat. 53165). A Secretária de Educação Maíses disse que o relatório técnico havia sumido dentro da Secretaria Municipal de Educação em Belford Roxo, logo segundo ela o relatório técnico da diretora Vera Castelar de 2002 era inexistente, consequentemente nada seria feito; e disse também que eu era um homossexual estigmatizado. Foi a segunda vez que documentos sobre mim foram extraviados ou desapareceram no âmbito da secretaria municipal de educação de Belford Roxo. O meu planejamento que eu havia entregado na Escola Municipal São Bento juntamente com a professora Rosemar, de ciências, nas mãos da orientadora pedagógica Fátima já havia sumido na escola municipal São Bento, sendo registrado falsamente como inexistente no relatório técnico discriminatório da diretora Vera de 2002. A própria professora Rosemar de Ciências, muito indignada na época, indagou a orientadora pedagógica Fátima, na escola, por que ela fez essa sacanagem comigo confirmando a mentira no relatório técnico da diretora Vera de que eu não havia entregado o planejamento, se ela mesma imprimiu o planejamento para mim e viu eu o entregando juntamente com ela em mão à orientadora Fátima. Em 2009, ofício sobre mim também foi extraviado na secretaria municipal de educação de Belford Roxo.

Maíses Rangel Suhett
Para dizer que os problemas ocasionados pelo relatório mentiroso e discriminatório haviam sido resolvidos, a Secretária Municipal de Educação Maíses Rangel Suhett justificou que eu era homossexual. A Secretária de Educação Maíses afirmou erradamente a minha realidade. A minha realidade era feminina e transexual. Eu me encontrava realizando alterações bioquímicas e hormonais no meu organismo em processo transexualizador. Já havia inclusive passado mais de 7 meses que eu havia me submetido a uma cirurgia de adequação sexual chamada por um procurador de Belford Roxo como mudança de sexo.
Também para justificar os problemas ocasionados a mim por este relatório técnico, a secretária de educação Maíses disse que eu sentia o estigma da homossexualidade. A secretária de educação Maíses justificou erradamente a minha realidade. Na realidade eu não tinha as minhas condições emocionais, psicológicas e mentais inclusive para exercer a minha atividade profissional precisando de tratamento psiquiátrico e psicológico desde 2002.

7 meses após a minha cirurgia de correção sexual e tendo uma vagina, a secretária de Educação Maíses Rangel Suhett dizia em processo em julho de 2005 que eu era o professor homossexual demonstrando total desconhecimento, total equívoco ou total desrespeito a minha identidade de gênero e ao meu sofrimento e a minha aflição de ser tratada no trabalho no gênero masculino.
"QUANDO A DIFERENÇA NÃO PRODUZ UMA DIFERENÇA NO OLHAR A EXCLUSÃO DA ESCOLA DÁ LUGAR À EXCLUSÃO NA ESCOLA".
A Secretária de educação de Belford Roxo Maíses Rangel Suhett disse em processos que eu havia comparecido na secretaria de educação e havia dito que os problemas ocasionados a mim pelo relatório técnico da diretora Vera Lúcia Castelar de 2002 foram resolvidos com a minha transferência para uma outra unidade escolar. Ela mentiu. Eu não falei isso. Eu fui obrigada, chantageada, ameaçada e coagida pela subsecretária de educação Rosângela Maria Gonçalves de Oliveira a nunca mais pisar na Escola Municipal São Bento onde eu dava aulas por mais de 7 anos, tendo 2 matrículas, caso contrário esse relatório técnico seria usado para acabar com a minha vida. Esses problemas e esses traumas ocasionados pelo relatório técnico discriminatório e os procedimentos administrativos discriminatórios decorrentes deste relatório técnico nunca foram resolvidos. A decisão de me excluir daquela escola municipal de Belford Roxo foi da Subsecretária de Educação Rosângela Maria Gonçalves de Oliveira e da diretora da escola Vera Lúcia Castelar contra a minha vontade e contra a vontade daqueles que denunciavam o preconceito até na forma documental de abaixo-assinado entregue na secretaria municipal de educação de Belford Roxo. Os problemas ocasionados pelo relatório técnico da diretora Vera Castelar sobre o meu desempenho em 2002 nunca foram reconhecidos pela Secretaria de Educação e pela Procuradoria Municipal de Belford Roxo.
Quase cinco anos depois eu fui novamente ameaçada de morte, desta vez pela orientadora pedagógica Conceição na Escola Municipal Jorge Ayres de Lima que me disse que eu tomaria um tiro, depois disso nada foi como antes.

Muita coisa aconteceu depois disso na minha mente e no meu psicológico, muita coisa era realmente real, muita coisa era irreal e sobrenatural.
Essas experiências me tiraram completamente dessa realidade que me ocorria e que eu já não conseguia suportar. A minha mente não tinha mecanismos para enfrentar essa situação apresentando inclusive depressão, comportamento delirante persecutório e sintomas psicóticos observando piora de quadro psiquiátrico e agravamento dos sintomas durante meu período laboral no quadro de servidora pública da Prefeitura Municipal de Belford Roxo com posterior diagnóstico de Transtorno Bipolar.

NÃO COMENTOU SOBRE O LAUDO MÉDICO APRESENTADO. NÃO SE INTERESSOU EM AVERIGUAR O QUADRO PSIQUIÁTRICO. NÃO FEZ REFERÊNCIA AOS PROBLEMAS SOCIAIS E AO PRECONCEITO NO TRABALHO. IGNOROU TUDO SIMPLESMENTE.
20- Não condene alguém com transtorno bipolar com sintomas psicóticos no mundo do trabalho. É o que eu posso ensinar às pessoas para que o mundo seja um pouco melhor diante do quadro em que eu vivi no meu emprego de professora concursada e efetiva da Prefeitura Municipal de Belford Roxo.

Did your smartphone went swimming? Or you just accidentally dropped it right into the harm’s way? Or enjoyed the rain with your priced possession in your pocket? To be honest this is situation is faced by many smartphone owners once in a while. The smartphone takes a deadly plunge right into water which is followed by freaking out and trying almost anything and everything to bring it back to life.
If your smartphones comes with a removable battery then remove the back panel and take out the battery as soon as you can after taking it out of water. Leaving it switched on can cause it to short circuit. If your smartphone comes with a non-removable battery then shut it down immediately by pressing the power button for 5 seconds to prevent further damage.
Remember in either case do not try to turn it on in any case as short circuit can occur and chances are fair that your phone will not be able to see another light of day. Shutting it down prevents it from short circuiting.
Remember keep it in screen up direction all times whether drying or not. Gravity is a fascinating thing and it will prevent water from reaching your display.
Open you phone up using necessary tools and gently use a dry cloth or paper towel to absorb the water by dabbing on the affected areas. Do not wipe hurriedly as you may spread water and it may do more harm than good. Moisture corrodes the circuit inside your phone so try to take out as much moisture as you can. You can use a vacuum cleaner to suck out the water from all the ports and openings as well as from the circuit board. Vacuum cleaner is the best hep you can get immediately when water is logged in your phone.
I'm having a problem with the C220. It only happens on rolls of 220 film, never 120. I get leaks like this one on SOME of the frames (maybe half or so) on the roll, always in the same exact spot, in varying intensity. I have a few ideas:
1. The tension on the uptake spool isn't right, even though it is set for 220.
2. The pressure from the adjustable film plate isn't right, even though turned for 220.
3. Equipment problem at the camera shop where I send my film.
I've got a recently finished roll of 220 Ektachrome that's going to a different shop, so that will either confirm or eliminate #3. I'm just not sure why I'd only have the leak show up on 220 rolls. Any ideas?
