In Ontario, Canada there are two publicly funded school systems, a Roman Catholic and a Public one. To teach in the catholic system you must be a Roman Catholic and have a pastoral letter from the priest in your parish attesting to your good faith. You cannot teach in the RC system without this. If you are a protestant you cannot teach in the RC system. But Roman catholics can teach in the Public system. Thus for a limited number of jobs and for two systems that are of almost the same size, Roman Catholics have twice the number of job opportunities as every one else. The students in the Catholic system can be of any religion and are about fifty percent of the enrollment.

I always get a kick out of an organisation that says it is not for profit ... the principals could be the best paid clowns in the world yet if there are no profits distributed then it's as if they were a charity.

Asymmetric Penalties .... an old man falls into a pit and dies and the fine is 250 but someone slips on a killer tomato and the fine is 2500. Go figure.

Roy,
I'm hurt, indeed wounded, for here in Port, I get out to the pubs frequently (eight pubs in a village of 2000) and am very sociable with both my neighbours and students.
Accuracy and a wide vocabulary keep misunderstandings at bay and effectively communicate ideas both now and in the historical record.
Concrete mixers are inherently dangerous, what with their massive structure and incredible torque and inertia. There is no way to make them completely safe and at the same time make them efficient.

Gavin,
Do not look in the dictionary and expect to find a correct definition of an engineering process or material. Lafarge takes great pains to identify the powder made from slaked limestone as cement flour and the resulting mix of sand, aggregate and water as concrete. For the most part, dictionaries are not written by people knowledgeable in the art of engineering.

Well, obviously, a temperature that is high enough or low enough that does not interfere with the worker's ability to do their job. Which then raises the issue of whether their job performance is the result of impossible working conditions. So all we can do is legislate a temperature range which most people feel is reasonable and excludes that small group who are not comfortable. However, this is against human rights and therefore everybody is entitled to work in their own environment set to a temperature within 0.1 C of their desires.

This one goes into the same category as union employees, that is, people who work for unions. For the most part they have no union to protect them and are at the mercy of the union officials who are management.
