When these services are delivered inefficiently, which is certainly the case with the Passport office it leads to delays, poor quality, and failure to deliver the services altogether. First and foremost, governments are responsible for providing essential services to their citizens, such as healthcare, education, infrastructure, and public safety. Writing to public officials managed to enlist me on all of their email campaigns but failed at getting the problem fixed.ĭealing with government is so inefficient. I have written multiple letters and have contacted my senators and congressmen and even wrote to the President. Reality is that the Passport office lost or someone in the office stole my passport. Of course the passport was in the Fed Ex package sent to the passport office. After six weeks I received a letter from the Passport Office saying that they received my application and my fee but they did not receive my old passport.
Of course I spent the extra money to expedite it. In March I sent it in to the National Passport office for renewal. Have you ever felt like just throwing your hands up with frustration? My Passport expires at the end of June. There are many words in the English language which have different meanings to different people and it is fun to explore the varied meanings.
Many of us show love in the ways we hope to receive love (the golden rule of doing unto others as you would have others do unto you) but this assumes that everyone else perceives this word the same way as you. They saw this emotion of love as a mental disorder and it was the Greeks who coined the phrase, "lovesick.” In today’s society many crimes are attributed to being lovesick and love can be responsible for many dangerous and irrational behaviors.īut what is love really? Because people define love differently, Ironically while the Greeks seemed to get it about the word love they were also terrified by the concept. The ancient Greeks might have said, "I love you but I'm not 'in love' with you" meaning, “they feel philia toward you but not eros.” They had the good sense to break love into four levels: "storge" was kinship, "philia" was friendship, "eros," sexual and romantic love, and finally divine love was known as "agape.” The Greek culture understood this small word. When I talk about a friend I love or a pet, it brings on a whole different meaning and when I talk about romantic love, this little word brings on yet another connotation. I can use this word to describe a location like Kyoto, Japan which truly touches my heart in a profound way. Although I'm using one word to describe my feeling towards a location most people understand what I'm saying. Take the small four letter word love for example. According to the BAS in the same statement, there is "no evidence that climate change has played a significant role" in this specific event.There are many words that possess different connotations. The Brunt Ice Shelf, which typically flows west at about 1.2 miles (2 kilometers) per year, routinely experiences calving events. The team working at the BAS Halley Research Station say that the station is unlikely to be affected by the recent calving event, according to the same BAS statement. Ice calving, or iceberg or glacier calving, occurs when large pieces of ice break off of a glacier. These scientists have been expecting a large "calving event" for at least a decade, according to the BAS. (Image credit: British Antarctic Survey)įor years, glaciologists have monitored the cracks that have formed in the Brunt Ice Shelf, a large floating slab of ice 492 feet (150 meters) thick located on Antarctica's northern rim and the site of the British Antarctic Survey's (BAS) Halley Research Station. A map shows the Halley VI research station in relation to the north rift crack.
