We exist to offer teachers a forum, a place to speak out about the challenges, the concerns and the obstacles they face and have in their daily workplace.
The Scottish government have stated and restated their commitment to education as their number one issue. The first minister, Nicola Sturgeon has marked education as her highest priority. 'Judge me on education', she has said it many times.
Why then do Ms Sturgeon, and her Education Minister Mr Swinney, continue to ignore the growing number of voices raised from the teaching profession, begging them to fix the mess Scottish education has become under their tenure?
In September, 2017 a secondary school teacher wrote an open letter to Ms Sturgeon begging for help in improving the learning experience of Scottish pupils.
This month and anonymous primary school teacher composed a letter to Mr Swinney, again highlighting areas of deep concern and requesting help.
Both of these letters went viral online and were the subject of a variety of articles in many UK publications. Both teachers expressed concerns that their jobs were at risk, merely because they spoke up for the children in their care. The media used these letters as clubs with which to batter politicians, with no real concern for the issues expressed.
The teachers who wrote them were left feeling used and powerless, their voices utilised to sell newspapers, to batter political opponents, and then silenced, the issues raised never addressed.
To date, no major teaching union has backed either of these teachers or utilised the exposure to force change, despite the serious concerns raised.
Mr Swinney did take the time to have someone answer both letters. In each case the Education Minister, brushed aside the concerns raised, quoted some stats, and informed the teachers that according to every teacher he has spoken to, Scottish Education is in rude health.
At a recent SNP conference, Mr Swinney accused his political peers of 'politicising education and of not having children's best interests at heart. This statement, coming from an Education Minister who refuses to listen to practicing teachers and who is dismissive in his responses to professionals seeking assistance, appears to be nothing short of arrogance.
As teachers, we want our concerns addressed, and our expertise trusted. We want to be able to improve the standard of education for our children. The current system and curriculum is not working well enough for our kids. We lack resources. We lack coherent courses. We lack time to teach content-heavy courses.
We want to be engaged with. We are not here to attack any politician or political party. We are asking for genuine assistance. We want practicing teachers in a room being listened to by people who can affect change.
There is no political agenda here, We simply want our voices heard. We are speaking out on behalf of the children whom we are not being allowed to educate to the best of our ability.
Your children.
As we are unable to speak publicly, this site is an open forum for teachers to have their voices heard. The open letter is our most powerful tool. Send us your concerns, stresses, worries, fears and experiences. You may remain anonymous, I'd advise doing so in the present climate, but allow your voice to be heard. Speak up for your children.
We can make change happen.
If you would like to participate, please visit our submissions page.
This site was founded by and is hosted and curated by Mark Wilson.
None of the views expressed within, or the content contained are his opinions or words.
Mr Wilson has no political agenda. This site has no political agenda. It exists to allow teachers to have a voice.
Please respect us and accept that the issues raised are ones which genuinely concern us and not political bashing.
We wish to engage with those in politics power, not attack them.

Money and BanksMoney and Banking
Not only will easy-money policy not increase production, it will impoverish us by inflating away real wealth.
Financial MarketsMoney and BanksMoney and Banking
A major factor that can explain the apparent contradiction between weakening so-called fundamentals of today — and the stock market's continued march upward — is changes in monetary liquidity.
Government manipulation is shifting wealth from Main Street to Wall Street. But most people don't see the growing gap between the growth of financial wealth and the real economy.
Judy Shelton may be a tolerable—at least to Republicans—candidate for Federal Reserve Board of Governors.
Given that Fed policymakers are of the view that a decline in the annual growth of prices is bad for the economy they are most likely to embark on very easy monetary policy in near future.
Money and BanksGold StandardMoney and Banking
The gold price is heading up at the moment, but we can still learn a lot from three big collapses in the gold price which occurred after 1934.
Money and BanksMoney and BankingOther Schools of Thought
The "Velocity of Money" Is a product of human choices and human values. It's not something we can just plug into an equation.
The central bank can try to manipulate the interest rate to whatever level it desires. However, it cannot exercise control over the underlying interest rates as dictated by people's time preferences.
U.S. HistoryMoney and BankingMoney Supply
The Fed's monetary policy, except for very brief periods in 1929 and 1936–1937, was consistently and unremittingly inflationist in the 1920s and 1930s.
What matters is not price rises as such, but the increase in the money supply that sets in motion the exchange of nothing for something or "the counterfeit effect." Business cycles and recessions follow.

For everyone sickened by the decision not to indict Darren Wilson, the police officer who shot and killed Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, there's a powerful and poignant poem by Jason McCall up on Rattle's Poets Respond page. Here's a taste:
It will happen,an honest mistakein a hot August classroom..Someone will blinkat the name and swear this"Michael Brown" can't be.that "Michael Brown." Or someonewill be too busy with her head downfinishing syllabi to look up and see the flash.grenades and teargas.
This piece was written the week that Michael Brown was killed, but it still resonates today when Brown's absence–and the absence of justice in Ferguson–is so keenly felt.

I'm not from Denver, in fact, my Colorado hometown is probably opposite of what comes to mind of when noting the Centennial State. However, when I finally moved to the capital of my native land I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly the city took this country girl in.
Denver has changed significantly over the past few years, and despite all of the people, construction and greater amount of traffic, I truly believe that life here just keeps getting sweeter. So for my 26th birthday month, I wanted to share 26 things in no particular order that I absolutely love about Denver, Colorado.
1. The South Stands- I've experienced some of the most magical times of my life in that section of the Broncos home stadium.
2. High Point Creamery flights – there's really no need to limit yourself, especially when it comes to ice cream.
3. Railyard Dog Park – making parents of oversized dogs live guilt free in downtown and LoHi.
4. Soup Dumplings from ChoLon – a pleasant surprise, every single time.
5. The Passport Program – who needs a big body of water when you can sip two-for-ones at Denver's best watering holes all summer long.
6. Morning walks through Commons Park and along the Platte – quiet and scenic, yet in the heart of it all.
7. Chocolate cookies from Elways – say what you will, but I think it's the best thing on the entire menu.
8. Water World's Turbo Racer – not too scary, yet fast and refreshing.
9. New Wave – the perfect sour beer to sip while playing corn hole or meeting up to day drink with friends. (By the way, I almost added Ratio's interior design to this list… groovy wallpaper paired with gold accidents.)
10. Browsing the Goldyn, Shea, and other local boutique shelves – even if you don't buy a thing, it's worth a retail-refresh to peruse. The revolution of Denver fashion is pretty awesome.
11. Live tunes at Nocturne – even if you don't devour jazz on the regular, this spot makes it irresistible.
12. Purchasing meats and cheeses from Marczyk's – this what I call crafting my ideal meal.
13. The driving range and City Park- in the thick of it all you can practice your golf swing… need I say more?
14. Dog watching at DBC patio – where I made the commitment to become a full blown dog mom.
15. Historic architecture in Uptown – a maven for taking a snapshot of an exterior and creating a dream home in your head.
16. Picnics at City Park – I never get tired of that Mile High City postcard view.
17. Discovering the perfect vintage Broncos gear at Fiftytwo80s – and sniffing the scratch n' sniff wallpaper is worth the visit too.
18. Treasure hunting at the South Broadway Goodwill – making Pinterest and DIY dreams come true.
19. Queso and margs at Illegal Pete's – I have a sneaking suspicion that I will never grow out of this love affair.
20. Princess Yum Yum – a seasonal treat and the first sign of summer.
21. And while we are back on Platte, My Brother's Bar – because some things never change. Thank God for that.
22. The fan walk under Auraria Parkway – a hub to purchase vulgar Broncos gear filled with fan nerves and excitement.
23. The 7th Avenue bike path – though I am not a huge part of the biking culture, I admire and adore the strip leading through Congress Park and beyond.
24. Brunch at Central Bistro – I am proud to be a Smoked Salmon Flatbread addict.

Mint and Rose was born in California at the beginning of 2012 by the hand of Monti Gutiérrez Benavides, a Spanish woman passionate about Mediterranean culture and lifestyle, in which she grew up.
The brand philosophy was always clear: create accessories from traditionally handmade elements, working with the best workshops in the country, providing design, quality, modernity, and variety to the materials. This is how the first Mint and Rose espadrille was born.
Collections inspired by special places in Europe, where the nights are filled with magic and the days breathe freshness and sophistication. A nap under a tree, a morning sailing the coast of Amalfi or a sunset stroll along the Menorcan beach, becomes the basis of our creation.
Despite its youth, Mint and Rose has strategically positioned itself in the distribution industry. With more than 25 points of sale worldwide, Mint and Rose has partnered with such renown brands in the fashion industry as Anthropologie, Reformation, and hotels such as Four Seasons and Marbella Club Hotel.
Our incredible team in Spain handles production, quality controls, visits to factories, and the export process, ensuring that our collections always exceed the expectations of our clients. In addition to this, constant contact with the client allows us to accommodate any request throughout the distribution process.
Through these channel, Mint and Rose has the opportunity to advertise, introduce the brand, and receive instant feedback from customers. It gives the brand a great exposure, increasing the possibilities of sale in those countries where they are not established yet, as well as, increasing the visibility in those in which they are present.
In addition, these channels allow us to measure and anticipate what our public needs through the analysis of data. As a result, we are able to anticipate the needs of consumers.
In March 2015, Mint and Rose opened its own sales point with the aim of giving the customer the experience of product and purchase, having a unique experience and being able to personally meet their clients, sharing impressions and growing together with them.
The store is located in Santa Teresa Street 12 in Madrid, between art galleries and small restaurants.

The UK government has called for information from experts in the application of 5G to help with the introduction of "reliable and uninterrupted" connections on trains in the north of England. The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) lodged the request as part of what it called an exploration into what the superfast internet technology could bring to the transport industry. The TransPennine Initiative (TPI) is a key component of the UK government's Northern Powerhouse plans to address the balance between the economies in the north and south of England.
The new scheme aims to test ways of introducing rapid internet speeds on trains using trackside infrastructure and addressing issues related to access, processes and costs. DCMS will use the findings from the trial to provide information that will identify constraints and concerns that could prevent the introduction of 5G.
Opening up the initiative to companies of all sizes, DCMS said that those selected to take part in the trial will be able to deploy their equipment without having to invest in trackside infrastructure, and are likely to receive financial support for installation activities on the TPI pilot route. The three specific objectives of TPI are to trial high capacity fibre to premises using Network Rail's assets between Manchester and York; to provide high-speed connectivity on the train between Manchester and Leeds; and to create a 5G test bed at Network Rail's Rail Innovation Development Centre in the Midlands. The closing date for comments have to be submitted by 14th September 2018.
Margot James, the minister of state for DCMS said: "The importance of fast, reliable and uninterrupted connectivity on our rail network is only going to increase. Projects like the Trans Pennine Initiative will be instrumental in delivering this for passengers, and are all part of our commitment to make the UK a world leader in 5G."
To find out more about technologies like 5G and how they're applied in rail, SmartTransit will be taking place this October in Pennsylvania, USA. The show, which will focus on assets and digitalisation and ridership and mobility, is this year supported by Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA).
SmartRail World reported late last year that Japan successfully tested 5G on a moving train that achieved download speeds of 1.7gps, speeds normally the preserve of home or office environments. The trial was carried out following a partnership between KDDI and Samsung and enabled users to download 8K video (the current highest resolution video available) using the train's on-board router, while footage from a 4K video mounted on the train was also uploaded.

Here Are Two Furry Buds That Will Prove You Wrong and Teach You That It's Only About Getting Used To It!
Kuli, the one-eyed and surfing cat number #1
Kuli, was only 6 months old when he began riding waves in Hawaii with his owners Alexandra Gomez and Krista Littleton. His name means "to look blind", and he loves water because his owners used to bath him when he was recovering from his eye surgery, his left eye had to be removed due to infection. He was rescued from the streets when he was just a malnourished kitty, weighing only one pound.
You can see pics of baby Kuli on his first steps to becoming an expert on riding waves.
Before he could swim confidently on his own, Kuli always wore a life jacket. How cute!
Omg! Look at this little life jacket!
Now he is an expert on riding waves! He does it better than common people, at least!
You can see here a very cute video of Kuli surfing with his owners, and you can also follow him on his instagram @kulithesurfingcat !
Boomer, the surfing cat number #2
Boomer is a really happy kitty that loves water! And loves to go surfing with his human dad and his cat friends!Together they always go on several adventures on the beach, and have lots of fun.

How to turn your employees into your biggest advocates
Enthusiasm about your company and its culture will become contagious. Promote good will and excitement about your business and its mission, and you're off to a great start.
Companies are always on the lookout for ways to spread the word about their brand—through media hits, influencers, and the like.
We spend a lot of time on external audiences, but terrific advocates are often sitting right under your nose, within your own walls.
Employees know your company better than anyone and therefore can speak to it better than anyone. Employees' passion about where they work and what they do is contagious—it makes others curious as to what's so great about the place.
So, how can you turn your employees into your biggest advocates?
Step 1: Make them want to be advocates. In order for your employees to spread the word, they have to want to do so. Of course, they have to like the work they're doing, but what else contributes to workplace happiness? Culture. Fostering a culture that's creative, fun, and educational will keep employees loyal and far more likely to share their positive experiences.
Part of culture is hiring the right people. At Shift, we like to make sure our hires align with all our core values. This helps create a smart, supportive workplace. Once you have the right people in place, find ways to enhance the culture.
Establish a training program that helps build employee skills. Set up a mentor program that allows junior staffers to partner with senior associates who will help guide them in their careers. Have a strong internal communications program that helps tie your office—or your multiple offices—together through things like internal newsletters.
Of course, don't forget the fun stuff. Things like in-office happy hours and summer outings are ways to reward employees for their hard work day in and day out.
Step 2: Empower employees to be advocates. After you create a great environment for your employees, it's time to empower them to be advocates. For example, networking is a great way employees can get out and talk to others about their company. This can be beneficial for both new business and recruiting purposes.
Reimburse employees for attending networking events rather than making them pay out of pocket; this encourages them to speak on behalf of the agency when attending events. After the event, encourage them to share their experiences with the rest of the office.
Outside of networking, why not invite employees to create content based on what they're passionate about? Is there someone in your office who loves SEO? Give them the tools and resources they need to create a three-minute video on an SEO-specific topic, or ask them to write a blog post on their favorite industry-related topic. Your associates will be more likely to share something they helped create.
Step 3: Encourage employees to share. Sometimes all it takes to get employees to talk about what you're doing is a little nudge. Remind employees of the great work going on the company; make them hyper-aware of the content that exists and what's being created. You can use a weekly newsletter or an employee social network like Yammer to provide updates.
Draft a number of tweets for people to easily share around internal events, new products, blog posts, etc.—that way if they're having a busy day, they can simply copy and paste them to share with their networks.
These three steps will help transform your employees into advocates, but remember, it begins with the company itself. If your work environment is hostile and unwelcoming, you're going to have a very hard time getting employees to champion it. Maintain a positive culture while empowering and encouraging your employees, and they'll probably share their enthusiasm. Yes, external advocates are still important, but some of your best cheerleaders are sitting right next to you every day.

Today I can share with you by kind permission of Monarch the second chapter of my friend Phil Moore's new book Straight to the heart of Moses.. The third will be made available to those who subscribe to my email newsletter.
"But the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread." (Exodus 1:12)
When God wants to be seen through his People, there is simply no obstacle strong enough to stop him. If you were impressed by Michael Schofield's elaborate plans to escape from Fox River State Penitentiary in the TV series "Prison Break", then you will love what happens in Exodus 1 and 2. The Greek word Exodus means literally exit or way out, and these chapters form the prelude to the Old Testament's great escape story.
Make no doubt about it, Egypt in the fifteenth century BC was the world's largest prison. The seventy Hebrews had gone there in obedience to the Lord's promise in Genesis 46 that he would turn them into a mighty nation in Egypt and bring them back to Canaan as conquerors of the land. Almost four centuries later, such promises looked like pipe dreams, and the Devil's agenda to keep the Lord invisible looked more successful than the plotting of a clever prison guard on any television show.
First, the Hebrews lost their privileged status in the nation. Joseph had saved Egypt from disaster under the Twelfth Dynasty of pharaohs and his family had been rewarded with possession of Goshen, the most fertile fields in the land. Pharaoh appointed Joseph as his royal vizier and mummified his body when he died as if he were one of his own. But shortly after Joseph's death, the Twelfth Dynasty fell and five new dynasties came and went during two turbulent centuries known as the Second Intermediate Period. Pharaoh Ahmose I of the Eighteenth Dynasty founded the New Kingdom by expelling the Canaanite Hyksos, but this made him naturally suspicious of the Hebrews who remained.[1] Hadn't these foreigners originally come from Canaan? Were they not natural allies to the Hyksos if they reappeared with a new army? So he enslaved them and forced them to build great monuments which shouted to the world that Egypt's new regime was here to stay.[2] Pharaoh turned their Goshen into his Gulag.
But the plan backfired. Spectacularly. Moses tells us in 1:12 that "the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread." He uses five separate Hebrew verbs in 1:7 alone to describe the ensuing Hebrew baby boom.[3] Alarmed by the Egyptians' open hatred towards them, Jacob's family tried to multiply and soon became a seven-figure nation.[4] God had promised Abraham this would happen in Egypt in Genesis 15, and he was at work behind the Devil's clumsy scheming. "The Lord made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for their foes, whose hearts he turned to hate his people."[5]
The Devil tried a second strategy. He incited Pharaoh's heart to order the Hebrew midwives to murder every baby boy at birth. Future Hebrew slave-girls were useful to Egypt, but boys were potential insurrectionists and must not be allowed to live. Again this fresh attempt to thwart God's plan backfired, as it galvanised the flagging faith of the dispirited Hebrews to put their hope in him. Spurred on by Pharaoh's threats of murder and the Hebrew midwives' brave defiance, Moses tells us in 1:20 that "the people increased and became even more numerous."
Satan's third strategy was increasingly desperate, provoking Pharaoh to order that every Hebrew baby boy be drowned in the River Nile. This time the Lord's response outshines the very best of Michael Schofield, as he turns Satan's worst into the centrepiece of his plan. "One weak link can break the chain of a mighty dynasty," worries Pharaoh in the animated movie "The Prince of Egypt".[6] He had no idea that the Lord was smarter by far and could even use infanticide as a way to smuggle his deliverer into Pharaoh's palace.Pharaoh's decree forces two Hebrew parents to take their baby boy down to the river and hide him in a basket among the reeds. They pray to the Lord for a miracle, and he reveals himself as God-the-Saviour when Pharaoh's very own daughter finds the baby and adopts him as her son. By God's power, he had not been overheard crying during his three months in hiding, but now he cries at the right moment to move Pharaoh's daughter to compassion. His sister Miriam is hiding and appears in time for the Lord to use her to make Pharaoh pay Moses' mother to look after his enemy![7] The Lord runs rings around his would-be opponent Satan. He is smarter by far and will let nothing foil his plan.
Even now, God hasn't finished. He has another trump card left to play. The baby grows up with a dual nationality which is epitomised by his name. Moses means Drawn-Out in Hebrew, but it also means Born in Egyptian and sounds like the names of Pharaohs Ahmoses and Thutmoses.[8] Moses is therefore given a royal education in Egypt's wisdom, and gains unparalleled know-how of the inner workings of Pharaoh's court, yet his primary spiritual influence remains his mother so that "when he had grown up, he refused to be known as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. He chose to be mistreated along with the people of God rather than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a short time."[9]
The Devil's three strategies to thwart God's great prison break had failed, because God wants to be seen through his People. All those strategies did was create a larger, more unified, more devout Hebrew nation, which cried out to God for a deliverer and found one forged in the furnace which the Devil had stoked against them.
The story of God's great escape is even cleverer than Michael Schofield's "Prison Break" at its most fanciful. This baby in the basket grew up and went on to write Exodus as his personal account of the Lord as God-the-Saviour. He smiles at us through these opening verses and assures us that nothing can stop the Lord from succeeding in his plan. He is going to be seen through his People.
[1] This is why Stephen chooses a Greek word in Acts 7:18 which emphasises that this ruler was not another similar (allos) Pharaoh, but another different (heteros) Pharaoh, from a completely new dynasty.
[2] Don't be confused by the reference to Rameses in 1:11. Some scholars put this together with Galatians 3:17 (where Paul is humouring a Septuagint mistranslation) to argue that the Exodus took place in the 13th century BC under Pharaoh Rameses II, but Genesis 15:13, Exodus 12:40 and the chronology of Judges show us that this must be a later editorial update to the place name, like the one in Genesis 14:14. That also means that Exodus 6:16-20 must give only a selective, abridged genealogy.
[3] He tells us literally that the Hebrews were fruitful, teemed, multiplied, grew very numerous and filled the land.
[4] As a result, although the word Israelite is only used twice in Genesis, it is used over 100 times in Exodus.
[5] Psalm 105:24-25. We will look in more detail in the chapter "Hardened" at how God's sovereignty works.
[6] "The Prince of Egypt", Dreamworks Pictures (1998).
[7] Miriam is not named in chapter 2, but she reappears in the story by name from Exodus 15:20-21 onwards.
[8] Ahmoses means Born-to-[the-moon-god]Aah and Thutmoses means Born-to-[the-magic-god]Thoth. Both names usually lose the final 's' in English. The 19th-Dynasty Pharaoh Rameses means Born-to-[the-sun-god]Ra.
[9] Hebrews 11:24-25. This is why Moses flouted Egyptian convention by refusing to marry even at 40. Forbidden from marrying a Hebrew, he refused to marry an Egyptian girl instead. The Lord rewards him with Zipporah in a scene which deliberately echoes Jacob meeting Rachel in Genesis 29:10.

Bringing style and the latest trends to a home near you. How Shelby Snow of Budget Blinds is reviving the style and curb appeal of local real estate, all done through window coverings!
At first glance her name may not be familiar, but If you were one of the thousands of people to recently tour the Millionaire Lottery Dream Home in Elgin Park, then her work is certainly familiar! Shelby Snow, a design consultant from Budget Blinds of South Surrey/ White Rock was the consultant responsible for all of the window coverings and draperies in the show home. Her work can be seen in Tsawwassen, Ladner, Delta, South Surrey and White Rock.
Shelby notes she got into her current position after a referral from a friend who knew the Budget Blinds Franchise owners (David and Tara Anderson). She had recently gone to school for interior design and says "it was a good transition and choice" to start working for Budget Blinds. Since starting with the company in 2014, she has been responsible for updating hundreds of people's homes and businesses with window coverings.
"Roller shades are definitely my favourite window covering right now" Shelby said. "they are so contemporary looking, easy to use, easy to clean, and can transform a room in a second" Speaking of transforming a room, when asked how window coverings can change the look of someone's home she noted "When you walk into a home, you instantly look out the windows, whether it's to check out the backyard, or see the view, your window coverings on those windows are noticed right away" Shelby says. "Curb appeal is huge in our society, and window coverings are one of the only design features of a room that passers by can see from the street! Besides adding appeal to the inside, you also update the outside of your home at the same time!"
She adds that some current trends that she is noticing are "grey, whites and neutral colours" As well as "drapery and side panels". Shelby notes that drapery may be a classic look, but the option to customize side panels is a great way to start adding layers to your windows. "It also is a great first step in designing your own drapery looks". She continues with "Window coverings should be the finishing touch in creating a unique and stylish space in your home or business, without them the look is incomplete!"

By John Berry, Chief Executive Officer, St. Vincent de Paul Georgia
The recent publication of the proposed Federal Budget by the current occupant of the White House brought to mind two quotes. One was famously made by President Barack Obama in 2009 during discussions about his policies and budget priorities. He told the Eric Cantor, the House Majority Leader at the time, during one contentious meeting "Elections have consequences." The other quote was recently used by the Cincinnati Enquirer to comment on Governor John Kasich's 2017; "Something for Everyone to Hate" (which I found out is actually the title of a 1999 hip-hop song by Sackcloth Fashion).
I think both thoughts have great applicability to the proposed budget.
While America was occupied by reality TV, what Hollywood star was dating who (or whom; I always get those confused), and other trivial nonsense, 57.9% of the eligible voting population took the time to vote in the 2016 election. 90 million eligible voters had something better to do, or didn't care. And the results of that election have consequences. If that other almost 40% had voted, would the outcome have been different? None of us know the answer to that. But the fact of the matter is that in what many would say is the most dramatic fashion in a generation we are seeing the fact that elections matter.
And now, as a result of that election, we have a proposed federal budget that everyone can hate. I will give the current occupant of the White House credit (and in all honesty that is something I rarely do) for the fact that he told the American people exactly what he would do. Cut foreign aid, check. Build a wall, check. Destroy the EPA, check. Increase defense spending, check.
But some of those actions are not enough for some. For some, the fact that entitlements have not been cut is a something to hate. For some, the fact that spending isn't cut more is something to hate. For some the fact that whole departments have been wiped out is something to hate.
For those of us who deal in human services and who work every day to help low income people lift themselves up this budget proposal has much to hate. It slashes support to the poor for housing, job training, heating, and legal assistance. It eliminates programs like Meals on Wheels for seniors, because we all know that Grandma and Grandpa are just slackers trying to get a free meal off the hardworking taxpayers of this country. Programs that help lift the poor out of unemployment and support them while they do so are eliminated because obviously it's easier to just throw them out on the street than to invest in making them self-sufficient taxpaying citizens. Eliminating support to Community Development Financial institutions will make sure that those in some of the most depressed and distressed areas of this country will left helpless and without hope. And while throwing out federal support to people in need, ensuring they will have to rely on the nonprofit social sector for help, the budget eliminates a huge portion of the support to those same agencies; like the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) which is one of the most important grant programs for local poverty assistance agencies that we have. And the budget would target legal services "…to the old, the unemployed, the underprivileged, and the largely forgotten people of our nation…" so said by that famous liberal bleeding heart snowflake Richard M. Nixon.
Yes, elections have consequences. So if this is the vision of America that you celebrate and want to see us become you must be happy; what you wanted to happen, happened. But if this vision of America is something that disturbs you and makes you angry, you have work to do. Because elections have consequences.

Annual Lake Michigan Cruise
Thursday, 19th September
6 pm - 10 pm
Members: $80 Non-Members: $95
Network in style at IN-Chicago's second annual Lake Michigan Cruise. Enjoy an open bar, delicious bites and breathtaking views of the Chicago skyline.
This year we are pushing off on our wonderful boat trip on Lake Michigan and raising some money for our dear friend PADDY HOMAN and his fantastic show happening this October. I AM IRELAND will be conducted by the amazing Rich Daniels and the city Lights Orchestra and will be fully televised for WTTW at Old St. Pats.
About I AM IRELAND
The I AM IRELAND show is a homegrown Chicago production — featuring internationally recognized Irish musicians from the Chicagoland area.
The uniqueness of this production, through its use of original speeches of the great leaders of Ireland—from Theobald Wolfe Tone to Robert Emmet and Michael Collins, interwoven with the songs of this period is outstandingly captured by Homan's performance. This theatrical presentation seamlessly illustrates the story of a nation's quest for freedom, and has touched the hearts of all who have seen this program. Viewers come away with a deep sense of belonging as they connect with the spirit of Irish American ancestry, which speaks to freedom loving people from all cultures. The themes and story are as relevant today as they were 200 years ago. Today, some 36 million Americans claim Irish ancestry.
Senator Billy Lawless, the first Irish government appointed Senator representing the Irish Diaspora across the world and based in Chicago, recently commented in a speech, "that for those Irish fleeing persecutions from their native home, America always represented liberty and justice for all, with endless possibilities for those who were willing to work hard". Senator Lawless aptly puts it, 'the rhyming of history continues—same story but different countries."
Our filmed program will capture this story of Ireland's road to freedom for generations to come. More than ever, the people in America need to hear the story presented by the I AM IRELAND show.
Honorary Chairman: Enda Kenny, Former Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland

Our lovely Luna is in perfect harmony as she nuzzles up to her solar paramour at 15* of Libra in the new moon at 11:46 PM EDT on October 8th, 2018. The duo also forms a hard square to Pluto/Hades who is at 18* of Capricorn may put the somber realization of just how much there is to be done, to achieve the transformation that is necessary.
Many may be feeling as though they have hit a wall of resistance right now, and deep inside the cold nagging fear that something ominous is floating on the horizon, even as the sun and moon do their best to find peaceful resolutions and moments of calm.
The storm? While Jupiter/Zeus has drug up a lot of painful memories as he transits Scorpio, Venus/Aphrodite now Retrograde in Scorpio is forming a challenging square to Mars who is at 9* Aquarius, another fixed sign…this will have people digging in on different sides of the issues…and the classical, 'male vs female' dynamic stimulated into full charge with the energy of the new moon.
Uranus is opposing Mercury/Hermes who is at 28* of Libra, also trying to find the balance before his exit, but ultimately realizing there needs to be a new form of communication. We have to reach a higher level of awareness to deal with the detritus of the past.
As we near the full moon, we will find the sun has cozied up to Venus at 01* and 04* Scorpio respectively, as the sun has now found his way to illuminate all that dark mess that creeped out, that magnifying love EL-ement opposes a 0*Uranus now electrifying the moon who is at 1* Taurus, and EL is supporting both via sextile and trine, so what we have here, is some reconciliation and medium ground being found, that hopefully has indeed found that virgin ground of shared values, pain and healing…together.
That of course, comes AFTER the blow ups that could spill out onto the merry making, as Neptune trines Venus on this new moon, from her perch at 14* PIsces.
Careful what you are energizing now, it is going to become much bigger in the future screen of your life, as Venus/Aphrodite/Inanna makes her decent, she is retrograde and does not begin to station direct on November 15th when she has travelled all the way back into Libra, where she will rule again at 25*, coming just weeks after Jupiter ingresses into Sagittarius, where he also rules. Justice may be on its way after all.

Hillside landscaping is considered to be one of the most challenging as it may influence the stability of your site. Many designers refuse to start work with such a type of landscaping as it is responsible and painstaking. So one must know the main rules of hillside organization to avoid serious problems and create a breathtaking and unique design.
There are two main kinds of slopes met on private territories: natural undisturbed ones or artificial cut-and-fill ones. Each of them should be taken separately as the process of their adornment is different. Another vital issue to take into account is view: placed on hills homes are usually chosen by people, who have appreciated the beauty of view so planning your landscaping do not change the height of plants in the view corridor. The slope must be taken up as gradually as possible, for example with a grade of several small terraces. It is more secure and there won't be problems with the arrangement of topsoil and planting. To avoid sloughing off use trees with a deep network of roots and shrubs. One more important aspect is accessibility and maintenance: there should be a through-way provided for these purposes.
Planning your hillside landscaping always keep in mind that slopes are more exposed to fires and failures. It must be taken into account while planning your changes. In addition, it is always better to ask a professional hillside landscaping designer for advice to organize everything both in secure and creative way.

If you regularly drive a vehicle, you must understand quality auto repair fundamentals. A lot of people do not take the time to even learn about preventative maintenance for their vehicle. This article is filled with tips that will help you take good care of your vehicle over the years.
Before giving your car keys to the service department, make sure you know what the cost for the repair will be. Should you need clarification about the repairs, speak with the service manager or your mechanic before work begins. If you do not communicate with your mechanic, you might be surprised with additional fees once you receive your bill.
You don't always need a repair-person for your car troubles. Many things are able to be fixed easily. You can take your chances by going on the Internet to find some information to see if you can locate the problem. If the repair isn't too difficult, you might be able to save money by doing it yourself.
Sometimes you can find a good mechanic who works in their home garage. Mechanics who work from home are often able to charge less because they don't have the overhead that shops do. You can support small business and save hundreds on the cost of the repair.
Put reminders on your calendar that tell you when to have your oil changed. The oil should be replaced after so many miles, and it is important that you keep track. It can vary a bit between different vehicles and cars go much longer between oil changes than they used to. But you must do them when recommended.
Driving a car includes the responsibility of maintaining proper condition. Unfortunately, many people don't know how to repair cars themselves, or even find a good mechanic. Review the concepts described above with regularity, and you will have what it takes to keep your car traveling down the road.

Try these simple things to ease your anxiety.
- Exercise. Few things can help relax you more quickly than a bit of vigorous exercise. Whether you kickbox, jog or play a game of tennis, getting your body moving will help reduce endorphins, improving your mood and making you feel better about anything you're worried about.
- Meditate. When you feel yourself being overwhelmed with anxiety, try taking a few minutes out of your day to clear your mind of your worries and meditate. If you have trouble doing it alone, try using a guided tape or music designed especially for meditation.
- Breathe deeply. Sometimes just concentrating on your breathing can have a calming effect on your state of mind. Count your breaths and concentrate on breathing in and out deeply.
- Focus on something else. Fight your anxiety by temporarily shifting your attention to something else unrelated to what you're upset about. You may find that once you're done you feel much better about the situation and are much more relaxed.
- Talk to others. Connecting with a friend or family member and sharing your anxieties can be a great way to get insight, advice and to alleviate some of your stress by getting support and understanding.
- Clear your mind. When you are feeling stressed out you can have so much going through your mind that it simply seems overwhelming, only adding to you anxiety. Take a few moments to step back and clear your mind of all of it before starting anything else.
- Slow down. Give yourself a break and just slow down if you're feeling stressed out. Getting yourself worked up to rush around won't help, so slow down, take a break and let yourself relax.
- Don't work yourself up. When you're worried about something it's easy to focus on it and get yourself super worked up so that you just want to break down. Stop yourself if you feel that you're getting yourself riled up, and force yourself to calm down and look at things rationally.
- Let the past go. If you're feeling bad about things that have already happened, take a moment to realize that there's nothing you can do to change these things now. Take steps to begin letting the past go and making positive choices for the future.
- Count to ten. Sometimes anxiety can take over and make you feel out of control. Take back control by counting to ten, breathing deeply and concentrating on calming down.
- Be optimistic. No matter what you're feeling anxious about, you can help make yourself feel better by taking an optimistic view of things rather than focusing on all the things that could go wrong.
- Learn to let go of control. Even the most carefully planned events in life can take unexpected turns. Sometimes the only cure for anxiety caused by these things is to simply give up control and let someone else take over.
- Look at the big picture. Sometimes things that don't really matter in the long run can get you all worked up in the present. Remind yourself of how your worries will fit into the larger picture of things and it may give you some perspective.
- Face it head on. If nothing else works, just try facing your worries head on. Many times, things will be easier, better or simpler than you had anticipated and your worries will have been unfounded.
Diet and Supplements
These tips can help you make some changes or additions to your diet to minimize your anxiety.
- Limit your intake of caffeine. Caffeine is a stimulant and can add to any existing anxiety and make you feel worse than you would otherwise. If you're stressed, avoid drinking coffee or other caffeinated beverages.
- Try lavender oil. Some people believe that the smell of lavender has a calming effect. Try lighting a candle or putting some lavender oil on your skin or in a bath to help you relax.
- Make a cup of tea. Tea, especially green and black teas, contain theanine which is purported to have a calming effect on the mind and body. So boil some water and make yourself some tea to relax.
- Cook yourself a meal. Getting involved in the process of preparing, cooking, and eating a meal can be a great distractions from a number of stresses. If you're really feeling down, try making your favorite meals or comfort foods.
- Have a snack. Some studies have suggested that low blood sugar can be a major contributor to anxiety. Make sure your body is running on a full tank by having a healthy snack.
- Consider herbal supplements.If you're into natural remedies you may want to consider taking some herbal supplements like valerian root, L-theanine, and passion flower.
- Have some milk. The age old remedy of having a warm glass of milk to relax may actually work. Milk contains tryptophan which can help settle you down and make you sleepy.
- Enjoy pesto for dinner. Basil has shown to be a very calming herb, so what better way to get your fill of basil than by making a pesto?
- Indulge in chocolate. Eating a small amount of high quality dark chocolate may help you to relax and will help indulge your chocolate cravings as well.
- Chew on mints. Mint can help with lowering feelings of anger and nervousness, so have a mint or add fresh herbs to dinner to feel better and smell fresher.
At Home
For stresses at home, give these suggestions a try.
- Light a scented candle. Certain scents can have a calming effect on your state of mind. Try a candle scented with lavender or a another smell like chocolate or baking cookies that may help you relax.
- Indulge yourself. Whether you enjoy a glass of fine wine or soaking in a long bubble bath, take time to indulge in some simple pleasures to soothe your anxieties.
- Take a shower or bath. The hot water and relaxing sensation of a shower or bath can help wash away your anxieties and help you feel better.
- Get a massage. Seek out a professional or get your spouse to give you a massage. It can help relieve some of the physical and mental symptoms of stress.
- Do something you enjoy. If you love to browse bookstores or take long walks in the park, take some time out of your day to do these things. You'll have fun and spend some time away from your worries.
- Work at some simple chores. Doing some work around the house like sweeping, washing the dishes or gardening in the yard can be a great way to relieve stress, get things done and ease your mind.
- Lay down. One way to get your anxiety under control is to take a short nap. Sleep will relax you and give you a chance to take your mind off of things.
- Watch a funny movie or comedy routine. Laughter really can be the best medicine sometimes, especially when it comes to dealing with stress. Pop your favorite movie into the DVD player or turn on Comedy Central to have a few laughs and forget your troubles.
- Write in a journal. If you can't find someone to talk to or just want to privately vent, try writing in a journal. It can be a great way to organize your thoughts and get your bottled up emotions out.
- Do some yoga. Yoga can help both your mind and body by helping you stretch your muscles and concentrating on your breathing.
- Go for a jog. Jogging can help you get some exercise which will relax you and will get you outside in the sunlight and fresh air.
- Research your problems. If you just can't get your mind off of your troubles, trying researching how you can work around them, overcome them or deal with them through books, the internet and chatting with others.
- Read a book. Try picking up a book to help you escape to another place and concentrate on a fictional character's problems rather than your own.
- Spend time with a pet. Playing with, walking or just enjoying the company of a pet can be a great way to relax. The love and affection pets provide can be a great stress reliever, and you'll get to spend time with something you love.
At Work
Work can be a stressful environment, but you don't have to suffer from constant anxiety with these suggestions.
- Take a break. While it may seem counterintuitive when you're stressed out at work, taking a break can have a beneficial effect on your mental state. Take a few minutes to get away from your desk and the source of your stress.
- Go outside. Sunlight is a natural mood booster, so getting outside and away from your desk can be a great way to lift your spirits.
- Take a walk. Getting a little exercise and even getting outside of your cubicle can really help alleviate stressful situations. Walk around your office, take a trip to get a drink or anything else that will give you space and room to think.
- Create a plan of attack. When you're faced with an overwhelming and anxiety-inducing situation, you can help yourself by working to create a way to deal with the situation. Sit down and write out how you plan to get through it, step by step.
- Avoid coworkers who may make it worse. Some people just love to feed the flames of stressful situations. If you have a coworker like this, make sure you steer clear of them until you've had a chance to calm down.
- Put on some relaxing music. If you're sitting at your desk, put on some headphones and let yourself be relaxed by your favorite tunes.
- Step back. Sometimes situations seem impossible to deal with at first. Give yourself some time and space to step back from the situation to view it objectively so you can figure out how to deal with it and calm down to think clearly.
- Don't rush. Even if you have a million things to do at work that are stressing you out, rushing won't help: it can actually make you even more stressed. Slow down and do your work right the first time so you won't have to go back and fix errors you made from rushing.
- Ask for help. If you really just have too much on your plate at work don't be afraid to ask your coworkers for help. Projects have to get done one way or another and it can help to get things done as a team rather than having all the stress just on you.
- Read something funny. Take a break from your work to have a laugh. Laughter can help alleviate all the stress that's causing your anxiety.
- Talk to your coworkers. Getting your feelings out to someone you work with may help you find new ways to cope, create solutions or just help you relax.
- Talk yourself through a situation. Believe in yourself and know that you can get through a situation, and you're likely to be much less stressed. Give yourself a pep talk and talk your way through anything you need to do to help reduce your anxiety.
