Homosexuality in Post Office History
February 8th, 2010 admin
To commemorate Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Trans History Month , BPMA Archivist Helen Dafter examines the Post Office’s past attitudes to homosexuality and homosexual employees. When thinking of The Royal Mail Archive most people immediately think of stamps, or how letters got from one place to another. It is less common for people to consider how the materials in the archive might reflect wider social history. One aspect of this social history is how the issue of homosexuality was dealt with by the Post Office. Conduct of staff and how this may reflect on the image…

update software through group polic...This is a video about how to update software through group policy. In the last video, I installed Firefox 3.0, in this video I upgrade to Firefox 3.5. I use aa Microsoft installer (MSI) package and a GPO (group policy object) in an active directory domain (requires domain controller) to do this. This operation may be performed on Server 2000, 2003, or 2008 and client operating systems of Windows 2000, XP, Vista, or 7. You may assign the program to specific users or computers so that it will be installed. You can also publish the software so that the user may decide to install the software. technoblogical.com

I install Firefox 3.0 through a MSI (Microsoft Installer Package) that is accessible through a local share. To do this it requires a GPO (group policy object) be applied on the domain (Server with active directory). You may assign the program to specific users or computers so that it will be installed. You can also publish the software so that the user may decide to install the software. You can do this on Server 2008 domain controller and Windows 7, but it also available for 2003, 2000, XP, or Vista. technoblogical.com
GPO 36 master clock impulse debounc...Gents GPO master clock 30 seconds impulse debouncer. By adding this circuit into the drive circuit of the GPO, the occasional double bouncing of the contacts can be avoided. It also improves the accuracy of the gpo's timekeeping. The 220 ma slave dial current has been taken away from the clock contacts. When these get older and a bit worn, the bouncing problems start gradually appearing. The latter switches now only the base current to the BD647 or eq. transistor. Time constant is set by a capacitor. In the second part of the video I have used the same circuit to drive a synchroniser to keep an other pendulum clock in synch. This can be duplicated for more clocks, and I will add an other video to show the set up, when I have wired it all up in my spare time. On the second circuit I made the timeconstant shorter (1/2 to 3/4 sec) to have the perfect pulse duration to keep the pendulum in synch. Dependant upon the weight of the other slave pendulum a longer or shorter impulse may be required. This can easily be changed by changing the capacitor or the bleed resistor to a different value. I forgot to add the schematic to this video. Just drop me an email and I will sent it to you. 17 Oct 09. I have synched two more Bürk master clocks from this set up. basically these 3 similar Bürk clocks all run off the same relay and run in perfect synchronisation with the Gents GPO.

Homosexuality - Nature, nurture or...Homosexuality. Is it nature, nurture or choice? The science of epigenetics is shedding light on this much misunderstood area ; sexual preference. Homosexuality has now been observed in well over 1000 species and has been well documented in around 500. Species such as humans, bonobos, chimps, dolphins, lions, bison, elephants, sheep, hyenas, swans, penguins, vultures, gulls, fruit flies, dragonfies and lizards all have shown examples of homosexual behaviour. The concept of homosexuality being "unnatural" is definitely outdated and uninformed. Disgraceful examples of discrimination continue to occur not only in various social situations but also in workplaces, legislation and of course religious institutions. Despite the trumpeting of successes in the marketing materials of the "ex-gay" ministries, they do not stand up to the scrutiny of independent analysis with success rates dramatically skewed by participants either dropping out or simply supressing who they really are. Every home should have the National Geographic Channel
