Action Guide
Each October the Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month, and the first Sunday of October is observed as Respect Life Sunday. As Catholics, we are called to cherish, defend, and protect those who are most vulnerable, from the beginning of life to its end, and at every point in between. During the month of October, the Church asks us to reflect more deeply on the dignity of every human life.
The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops provides resources to help parishes, schools, families, ministries, and individual Catholics share the Gospel of Life during Respect Life Month and throughout the year. In the following pages, you will find a number of resources to help you celebrate Respect Life Month. Sample timelines, homily helps, announcements, activities, and more are provided to help you get started. You are encouraged to adapt these resources as needed to fit your specific parish, school, or ministry.
Simple Steps
Here is a list of simple steps that you can use in your parish, school, ministry, or home to help celebrate Respect Life Month. These steps offer ideas on how to use the provided resources. Each step may not apply to your specific circumstance, but most can be adapted to suit your needs. These are a starting point, but the possibilities are endless!
September 3, 2019
Reconnect with appropriate parish staff regarding your bulletin submissions. Touch base with your pastor to offer further assistance and confirm any plans you may have made. This is the time to tie up any loose ends, verify that all content has been received, and determine if there are any follow-up tasks to be completed in the weeks ahead of Respect Life Month.
September 9, 2019
Begin gathering the materials you will need for the Interactive Respect Life Bulletin Board. Enlist the help of volunteers who might like to help you complete the preparation for this activity. This is a great way to get youth involved and allow parishioners to use their creative gifts.
September 30, 2019
Gather with your volunteers and bring the bulletin board materials. Put together the Interactive Respect Life Bulletin Board using the included instructions. Improvise as needed, and make it your own!
October 1, 2019
Respect Life Month is here, and it's finally time to hang the poster in a place people will see it! Now is also a great time to begin sharing announcements about Respect Life Month on social media or in monthly newsletters. You may want to pre-schedule some social media posts throughout the month with graphics, prayer intercessions, or the reflection on this year's theme.
October 6, 2019
On Respect Life Sunday, have volunteers staff a table near the Respect Life Bulletin Board after each Mass. Have examples of items to pin on hand, as well as printed reminders to bring in and add their own items throughout the month. Volunteers can help explain the activity and answer any questions. Include Respect Life resources on different topics on the table as well. If your parish has the space, consider leaving the table up for the duration of Respect Life Month.
October 12, 2019
Monitor the content being added to the Respect Life Bulletin Board and ensure that all materials are appropriate. Take special note of prayer requests, and consider how your parish community might pray for these specific intentions. Perhaps they can be included during a regularly scheduled Holy Hour, or lifted up during a particular ministry gathering. You may also want to add these to your own daily prayers and personal intentions.
October 27, 2019
Take some photos of the Respect Life Bulletin Board. Consider taking some with those who helped volunteer. Or take photos of those who participated, with their unique contribution. These photos* can then be shared in an email newsletter or on a parish social media page to highlight how your community celebrated Respect Life Month. These visual memories are also a great way to remember the final product and serve as examples if you'd like to complete this activity in future years.
*Make sure you follow all parish and diocesan policies for taking and sharing photos, especially those pertaining to minors.
Fall is a busy season! Families have returned from vacation, a new school year is beginning, ministries that may take a summer break are back in full swing, and we're all trying to return to our regular routines. In the flurry of fall activities, October can easily sneak up on us before we know it! We have provided a sample timeline to help you prepare for Respect Life Month. While these steps apply most directly to a parish coordinator, they can be adapted to help you think about key steps you can take to plan ahead in whatever capacity you serve the Church.
August 1, 2019
Visit this webpage to review and familiarize yourself with the new materials. Download any resources you hope to use during Respect Life Month. This would include bulletin announcements, intercessions, the Respect Life reflection, bulletin covers or wrappers, graphics, homily notes, article summaries, instructions for ordering printed materials, etc.
Early August 2019
Meet with your pastor, and remind him about the upcoming Respect Life Month. Let him know what resources are available, such as homily notes and prayer intercessions. Consider sharing this year's theme with him, and ask what your parish might do to celebrate Respect Life Month this year. Most importantly, . Perhaps emailing him the homily notes directly will save him time. Or, he may ask if you can send the prayer intercessions to another parish staff member. If you have any bulletin submissions planned or have any special activities in mind, be sure to share this information as well.
Contact your parish office regarding bulletin submissions, and open the lines of communication. Many parishes need content several weeks in advance to be able to include it in the weekly bulletin. Inquire about deadlines, and share what content you hope to have featured. This will help your parish plan ahead to allot the necessary space in the bulletin. If you plan to include materials such as bulletin boxes each weekend in October, you may need to make separate submissions. If you plan to complete the Interactive Respect Life Bulletin Board activity, you'll also need to plan to have announcements printed in the bulletin in advance. Sample announcements and instructions for the activity are provided.

Each October, the Church in the United States celebrates Respect Life Month. See this week's bulletin for more information and a short reflection on this year's theme, "Christ Our Hope: In Every Season of Life."
These sample intercessions were written for use during Respect Life Month; however, many can be used throughout the year. These intentions are appropriate for inclusion in the Prayer of the Faithful at Sunday Mass. Consider including one intercession at Mass each weekend in October.
The intercessions can also be printed in the weekly bulletin, included during prayer at a ministry or community gathering, featured in email newsletters, shared on social media platforms, or prayed during personal or family prayer times.
For all Catholics:
That on this Respect Life Sunday
we may recommit ourselves
to upholding the dignity
of every human life;
We pray to the Lord:
For women and men suffering after abortion:
May the Church's abortion healing ministry
help them find peace and healing
through Christ's endless mercy;
We pray to the Lord:
That during this Respect Life Month
our hope in Christ's resurrection
will strengthen us in protecting
the gift of human life;
We pray to the Lord:
For those nearing the end of life:
May they receive care that respects their dignity
and protects their lives
as they place their hope
in the promise of eternal life;
We pray to the Lord:
That the life of every human person,
from conception to natural death,
might be protected in our laws
and cherished in our hearts;
We pray to the Lord:
May God grant us the wisdom and courage
to lovingly protect His gift of human life
at every stage, in sickness and in health;
We pray to the Lord:
Homily Helps
These homily notes are provided to help priests and deacons illustrate the Gospel of Life through the Lectionary readings for Respect Life Sunday (October 6, 2019).
Any of these sections can be used individually to supplement a reflection on a particular reading. Or, these notes can also be utilized together as a complete homily to help unpack the 2019–2020 Respect Life theme ("Christ Our Hope: In Every Season of Life"), employing the readings of the day.
Other ministry leaders can also use these reflections to highlight Respect Life connections elsewhere, such as in a Bible study on the weekly Sunday readings, in a small group or a faith formation setting, or as part of another ministry gathering.
October 6, 2019 | Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
(Respect Life Sunday)
First Reading: Habakkuk 1:2–3; 2:2–4
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 95:1–2, 6–7, 8–9
Second Reading: 2 Timothy 1:6–8, 13–14
Gospel Acclamation: 1 Peter 1:25
Gospel: Luke 17:5–10
First Reading: Habakkuk 1:2–3; 2:2–4
In the First Reading we hear a voice crying out to God in anguish:
How long, O LORD? I cry for help
but you do not listen!
How often do we feel that God does not hear our pleas for help? How often do we fear that our prayers will not be answered in the manner we desire? The voice again cries out:
I cry out to you, "Violence!"
but you do not intervene.
Why do you let me see ruin;
why must I look at misery?
Destruction and violence are before me;
there is strife, and clamorous discord.
We can relate all too well to this feeling today. When we watch the news or scroll through social media, we are inundated by stories of violence against human life. The tone of public debate and discourse disrespects the very dignity of the human person. We can often feel that misery surrounds us as abortion, assisted suicide, the death penalty, and other affronts to the dignity of the person find wide public support.
But God responds with a message of hope. We are assured that the Lord, "will not disappoint." And that, "the just one, because of his faith, shall live." While God does not promise to answer our prayers on our schedule or according to our plans, we know He does not abandon us. While suffering is indeed a part of our earthly life, our destiny is to share eternal life with Christ.
Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 95:1–2, 6–7, 8–9
In his encyclical Evangelium vitae, Pope St. John Paul II wrote that "the Gospel of life is not for believers alone: it is for everyone."* Although faith allows us to more deeply understand the sacred value of human life, the light of reason naturally endows the human conscience with the ability to recognize the dignity of each and every person.
The psalmist writes, "If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts." It seems that many in our world have indeed hardened their hearts to the truth. They are unable to see the humanity of the child growing in his or her mother's womb. They incorrectly believe that a person's value is determined by his or her abilities. They fail to comprehend that one's worth is not dependent on one's age or circumstance. And perhaps, if we're honest with ourselves, we've allowed our own hearts to be hardened to attacks against human life. Maybe we've allowed the pain of loss to make our hearts numb.
In a world that seems to have lost sight of the value of human life, we must pray that those whose hearts have been hardened would hear the voice of God and come to see the invaluable dignity of every person they meet. We must pray that our own hearts would be pierced by the suffering of the most vulnerable among us.
Second Reading: 2 Timothy 1:6–8, 13–14
Because the world in which we live is so often hostile to the Truth, proclaiming the Gospel of Life can be difficult. In many arenas, defense of infants' lives, the lives of those who are disabled or dying, or the lives of any vulnerable human population is met with resistance. Proclaiming the Church's teaching on topics like abortion, assisted suicide, and the death penalty can provoke challenging and emotional responses from those who disagree. Sometimes we may find ourselves afraid to speak up about these issues in our families, among our coworkers, or with students in our school community. We may fear disagreement, judgement, confrontation, or misunderstanding. But in the Second Reading, St. Paul tells us that "God did not give us a spirit of cowardice." Rather, God has given us a spirit of "power and love"—and this should cast out our fear.
St. Paul encourages us to "not be ashamed of your testimony to our Lord." He urges us to "bear your share of hardship for the gospel," and reminds us of our "strength that comes from God." Through our faith in Jesus Christ, we know that sin and death have been defeated. We know that our identity can only be found in our Savior. The sufferings and persecutions that we endure in our earthly life glorify God; and we are given the strength and grace to persevere in hope.
Gospel: Luke 17:5-10
Faith gives us this ability to hope. The example of the apostles in the Gospel encourages us to ask God Himself to "increase our faith." If we struggle to find the courage to speak boldly about human life, we shouldn't be ashamed. The apostles—who themselves lived, ate, and prayed with Christ—needed God's grace to carry out Christ's saving mission. We needn't be afraid to ask God to increase our faith. For if we have but "faith the size of a mustard seed," Christ can give us the power to do incredible things in service of the Gospel.
So today, as we recommit ourselves to upholding the teachings of the Church on the inviolability of human life, may we recall that we have merely "done what we were obliged to do" as followers of Christ. Christ is our hope, in every season of our lives.
*Pope John Paul II, Evangelium vitae, (Vatican City: Libreria Editrice Vaticana, 1995), no. 101.
Sample Activity
Interactive Respect Life Bulletin Board
This activity utilizes the Respect Life Program poster to help unpack the theme, "Christ Our Hope: In Every Season of Life." The idea is to hang the Respect Life Program poster in the center of a large bulletin board or other prominent area with space around it. Then, invite members of your parish, class, youth group, or other ministry group to add their own items illustrating and unpacking the Respect Life theme to the board or to the surrounding area.
To illustrate the concept you can pin some examples: a sonogram photo of a new family member; a birth announcement; a prayer card from the funeral of a loved one; a picture of aging grandparents; a flyer for an upcoming
abortion-healing retreat; a note about volunteer opportunities at a local pregnancy center; or a sticky note with a prayer request related to cherishing life. This is where you can get creative! Invite others to pin items that help them see Christ's presence in all the seasons of our life, from the beginning of life to its end.
2019-2020 Respect Life Program poster
Large bulletin board (or a large wall or window)
Push pins, tape, and/or a stapler
Notecards or sticky notes
Writing utensils (pens, pencils, markers)
Scissors, optional
Construction paper in various colors, optional
Sample Explanation
October is Respect Life Month. This year's theme is "Christ Our Hope: In Every Season of Life." This Respect Life Bulletin Board is meant to unpack this theme and help us see Christ's presence in every stage of life—from birth announcements to funeral cards and prayer requests to service opportunities. The central poster serves as an example and inspiration for our parish's unique display. All parishioners are invited to participate by adding their own items that highlight the precious gift of life in its many seasons.
Place the poster in the center of a large bulletin board in your parish or school. (If you don't have a large bulletin board, you can also use a wall or window to achieve a similar result. Simply swap out push pins for tape.)
Beneath the poster, post an explanation of the display so those who pass by can draw inspiration or participate.
Select a number of items to post to get the bulletin board started. Choose from some of the examples listed above. Consider writing one of the provided intercessions for Respect Life Sunday/Month on a notecard and pinning it to the bulletin board.
Invite others to join in the activity by contributing their own content to the bulletin board. You will need to determine the best way to explain it and have participants bring items in. For example, if your whole parish is invited to participate, consider putting a note in the weekly bulletin or making an announcement before or after Mass. In a classroom or youth group setting, you can simply explain the activity and perhaps send a note home to parents. Families can also do this activity at home.
In a smaller group setting, once the bulletin board is complete, ask those who pinned items to the board to explain why they chose that specific item and what connection they see to Respect Life topics and themes.
Sample Announcements
September 28-29
Please join us in celebrating Respect Life Month during October. We will be hosting a Respect Life Bulletin Board in the __________. All parishioners are invited to participate by bringing in items that reflect this year's theme, "Christ Our Hope: In Every Season of Life." You can add items to the bulletin board that help you to see Christ's presence in all the seasons of life. Examples of items you may consider pinning to the display could include: an ultrasound photo of a new family member; a birth announcement; a prayer card from the funeral of a loved one; a note about volunteer opportunities at a local pregnancy center; or a sticky note with a prayer request. Be creative! Materials will be on hand in the _________ to help you get started.
If you would like to have your item returned, please pick it up from the display by October 30. Contact __________ for more information: ____________________.
October 5-6
This weekend, we celebrate Respect Life Sunday and kick off October as Respect Life Month. All parishioners are invited to help us celebrate by posting items to our Respect Life bulletin board located in the ___________. For more information, stop by the display after Mass or see the bulletin. We will continue to expand the display throughout the month. We welcome you in helping us celebrate the gift of life through your participation.
Optional Embellishments
If you would like to be extra creative, you can divide your bulletin board into four quadrants—each quadrant representing one of the four seasons.
Before hanging the poster, use brown construction paper to make a tree trunk and branches. Cut out orange, yellow, and red leaves for fall; snowflakes for winter; flower blossoms for spring; and green leaves for summer.
Attach these cutouts in the designated quadrant to create a four-seasons tree. These can be added sparingly without needing to fill in the entire bulletin board. You'll want to ensure there is still blank space to post other items. These embellishments will just help illustrate the "seasons" of life highlighted by the theme.
Hang the poster in the center of the bulletin board. Now you're ready to start adding your unique items!

Chi-town Bound
My wife's father was born and raised in that great American city, so she was all in with the idea. It'll be a bit cold, but I don't think a blizzard will attack us--never know, but don't think do. Been wanting to go, so it's a done deal.
Plans are to slip into the Windy City on March 16th. By the way, I always thought that the city's nickname came from the breeze blowing in from Lake Michigan, but my research indicates that it is as much from what politicians there had a tendency to generate during a certain era more than anything else. (hmmm, Obama's the senator from where?). Anyway, we plan on tackling the city on their "L" trains, buses, and taxis, so we'll catch the Blue Line from O'Hare to Hotel 71 in the downtown loop section of town.
We'll try to get checked in and may check out some of the museums and such in the downtown area. Maybe visit what was once the the tallest building in the world--the Sear Tower, which isn't the tallest any longer and isn't the Sears Tower any longer. It's the Willis Tower now.
The Art Institute of Chicago and the tower are both within a short walk. I've heard that the Hancock Tower offers better views. We'll have to check 'em out.
Can't go to Chicago without hearing some blues now can we? Now can we? No, of course not. Why go, if we ain't gonna hear some blues being laid down? I mean, golly gee, that's what this blog is all about. Well, the biggest obstacle to that is that most blues clubs just ain't gonna allow a 16 year old through their doors and this being a family outing, I had to get creative with that goal. Buddy Guy's Legends club ain't letting us in after twilight, but we can visit there for lunch and they said that someone will be bending a few blues strings. So that's an option. Also, I found that Morry Sochat and the Special 20s are holding court at Shaw's Oyster Bar on the 16th and it is less than a mile from the
hotel, so we'll check them out. I wrote a short piece about his latest release awhile back in regards to his harp blowing, which is steeped in a little swinging style blues along with the ChiTown grooves. So, we'll grab a little Great Lake seafood and listen to a good band serenade us.
Depending on the weather, but either on Wednesday or Friday, I think we'll take the Green Line over to Oak Park and seek out Virginia's dad's homeplace. That area is supposed to be a very well kept, historical area of Chicago and his old house has been well preserved by subsequent owners. This is also a neighborhood that contains a large number of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural designs, including his former home. There is also, from what I read, a great independent bookstore in the adjacent Forest Park neighborhood that I want to check out. It is called Centuries and Sleuths Bookstore on 7419 W. Madison. I love independent bookstores, and since I my
second career plans involve being a crime story author (soon as someone somewhere jumps on my manuscript and publishes it), then this one specializing in such tales must be investigated by the Bushdog. Maybe they'll stay in business long enough for me to come back around for a book signing. Hah!
Wednesday evening offers the possibility to attend a blues jam. I contacted jam host, Rick Trankle, about the scenario at Jerry's Sandwiches (yeah, a blues jam at a sandwich shop--but my teenager can attend also). This one is called Highway RickEy's blues jam and he plays drums and blues harp in a type of cup that allows him to get pretty good tone. So, I've got to decide whether I want to travel with a case of harps or not. He has a Sonny Junior 410 amplifier, so the equipment should be there. So, that's a maybe.
Thursday, we'll take the Purple Line north to Evanston and check out the area. Maybe climb Mount Trashmore while we're there. Mount Trashmore is a 65 foot tall mound that once was a landfill site. It is now a park and at one time a popular ski slope for the urban dwellers, before THEY shut down that activity. Back in the day, the a Northwestern University football coach planted a Rose Bowl flag at the top to inspire his players to sprint up its sides. Have to check it out and since son John will be college-bound soon, maybe the University while we're over there. The REAL purpose to go to Evanston is for a concert featuring some great harmonica blowing at Evanston S.P.A.C.E. (which stands for Society for the Preservation of Arts and Culure in Evanston) and all ages are allowed inside.
Eric Noden and Joe Filisko will kick things off, followed by the Jim Liban Trio. Harp players reading this know how good Filisko and Liban are with harmonicas in their mouths. So, this will be a highlight of the trip for me--and hopefully my wife and son.
At some point we'll eat some more good food. I'm guessing that we've got to get some Chicago Deep Dish Pizza somewhere. Rosebud's Steakhouse has been very highly recommended. We'll check out Wrigley and Soldier Field and the Great Lake and the Magnificent Mile and whatever else crosses our paths. We'll pray for Global Warming to jump up and bite us while we're away. 'Nuff for Now.

Hey Ricky,
It's Kirk Manley here. Grant Kessler and I manage www.youmissedmonday.com - our chicago blues harp blog we put together for Joe Filisko's classes and beyond.
Great to hear you're coming up our way! You put together a nice live harp schedule for your Windy City visit. Morry, Highway Rickey, and Joe are buddies of mine from the Old Town School's B1 Blues Room.
And if you can swing it before HR's jam, James Conway - a killer Irish harmonica player and super nice guy - is playing 5 different times on St. Patty's Day, some in the downtown area. It's not blues, but James makes the mississippi saxophone sound like bagpipes!
Maybe I'll see you at Joe & Eric's show at SPACE? And if I don't, I look forward to hearing about your trip up north right here!
Keep on harpin'...

Hey Kirk--Yeah, you're blog clued me into what was happening in the Chicago harp world during that week. I've heard plenty of good things about Conway. Keep that blog going--you're supplying some valuable info on it.
See ya--

Have a great trip! I am headed to New Orleans for the spring break week. I think I'd rather be listening to the blues shows you're going to catch but some Delta riffs will suffice. Can't handle the cold as it is and most definitely would not seek it out for vacations. Safe travels.

Great to hear, Ricky! I'm glad the YMM blog helped you with your plans. That's why we do it! I'll do my best to keep it going strong.

You should know too that you are definitely welcome to stop by Joe Filisko's Monday night harp class if you're interested. We love to have guests, and harp players from out of town are always welcome. If you need directions there, let me know.

At the foot of Highgate Hill, Barnes waited, crouched down on his Accornero-Watson.
The Accornero-Watson was a bike – one of a range of "elite roadsters" named after a cyclist of Anglo-Italian lineage. Accornero-Watson had gone down in history as one of the relatively few honourable men to have taken part in the Tour de France, during one running of which he'd been pushed off his bike (the original Accornero-Watson machine) on some summit or other directly adjacent to a waterfall, down which he'd fatally tumbled.
Barnes had bought the bike five hours ago from a small but superior shop in Camden, where the bikes were illuminated like artworks alongside notices saying you weren't allowed to photograph them. There was no trace of oil anywhere, but then oil was "lube" these days, just as cycle clips (in so far as they still existed, since everyone, including Barnes, cycled in Lycra shorts) were "trouser bands". Barnes had said to the proprietor, who had the air of a young, sardonic philosophy don, "I want the most expensive bike you've got."
"Why?" he'd asked, much to Barnes's irritation.
"Because I want to go fast up Highgate Hill – or at least faster than…" Barnes had trailed off, which leading QCs very rarely do.
"Than what?" said the proprietor.
It wasn't a question of what but whom and the whom was the Kid. The problem with the Kid had arisen after Barnes had endured a suboptimal suit fitting.
When he'd been measured for his latest black pinstripe, his tailor had failed to say his customary "The greyhound breed!", instead silently noting down a new waist measurement: 34. Furious that he'd allowed things come to this, Barnes had vowed to eschew alcohol (nothing drastic, just until, you know, he was back in trim) and taken to cycling between his house in Highgate and the Temple.
At first, he'd used the bike he kept at his country place. He hadn't thought much about the purchase – the thing had only cost a grand – but after bringing it to town it became clear that a steel frame wouldn't cut it if he wanted to stay ahead of the pack. Instead, he needed something made of feather-light carbon – a need that became an absolute necessity when the Kid overtook him on the Hill.
The first time it happened – and on every subsequent occasion – the Kid had said a cheery "Evening!" and it was the tone of that "Evening!" that had propelled Barnes to the Camden shop and the Accornero-Watson. It had set him back eight grand, but then again he could pick it up with his little finger.
And here came the Kid again.
Barnes waited until he went by on his green bike. Barnes had Googled the make and it did have a steel frame, but the Kid was about 25, whereas Barnes was 50, so Barnes was entitled to spend to compete.
And he was already right behind the Kid! Highgate Hill seemed to be flattening out, thanks to the lightness of the Accornero and the smoothness with which Barnes could shift down through its 22 electronically controlled gears. At the halfway point, he was almost alongside the Kid, who wore no helmet but an annoyingly pert Norman Wisdom-style cycling cap.
But now Barnes was viewing him from the rear again and he was having difficulty breathing. The Kid was pulling away. The sweat was running into Barnes's eyes, blinding him, but he had not quite exhausted the Accornero's resources. He engaged the very lowest gear and the resulting boost took him back almost level with the Kid. And now – yes! – he was beginning to inch past.
"Evening!" he gasped as he completed the manoeuvre. The triumph was exquisite even though he felt like death was upon him.
Ten minutes later he was recovering in a corner of The Flask pub in Highgate, taking a first sip from a celebratory pint when he caught sight of the Kid at the bar, pint also in hand, speaking to another Kid in a Norman Wisdom cap. If they looked over, Barnes would give them a friendly wave. But then he heard the other Kid say, "So in the end you let the guy win?"
"Obviously," said the Kid. "You should have seen the colour he'd gone. That old geezer is a heart attack waiting to happen. No one wants that on their conscience…"

Resources for Parents
Here are some sites providing useful information:
Your pregnancy and baby guide from the NHS
Safer Sleep and reduction of Sudden Infant Deaths
Please talk to your health visitor if you need potty training support and advice
The ERIC website is very useful if you have issues around childhood bowel and bladder issues. It includes information about bedwetting, constipation and soiling and daytime bladder problems.
For children of school age the school nurse manages bowel and bladder issues including referrals
Childhood Physiotherapy
Home Safety
Childhood Mental Health
Knowing that your child is struggling with their mental health can make us feel helpless and it is important to know where to turn. Many schools have access to counsellors but all have an assigned school nurse who can offer support in person or via text message support.
Teens in Crisis offer face to face or web-based support to children and young adults aged nine to 21 and their families.
Self-Harm is an umbrella term for behaviours that can cause injury or danger to yourself.

By Michael Carignan
After every two or three travel articles I plan to look back on those previous trips and expound on some background information that may be helpful in planning future trips.
Great Britain & Ireland
Our trip to Great Britain and Ireland was pretty much planned all on our own with some help from watching a number of travel shows and reading several travel books about the area.
Planning one's own trip to a region unfamiliar can be challenging. On this trip finding lodging was fairly easy as was the car rentals and ferry travel. For car rental or ferry connections recommend making reservations ahead of time in case some weird quirk of nature hits such as the volcano eruption we experienced.
One thing I would have done differently on this trip is I would not have driven myself. Roads are narrow, demanding a great deal of attention while driving. Add to that the driving on the opposite side of the road also takes some getting used to and t all can be very dangerous. If you do drive limit the amount of driving done each day to something reasonable. Do not push it. Remember you are there to sightsee and if your focus is on the act of driving you'll miss much of what they came to see. Do not drive around big cities if tired. Remember traffic is heavy and driving on the opposite side can be confusing and if not alert, deadly.
If I were to go again I would hire a driver just like the ladies from Chicago did and then sit back and enjoy. Yes, you'll pay more for the trip but the amount of enjoyment goes up double what you pay.
Another thing I would do differently relates to car rental insurance. Unfortunately we were involved in a minor traffic accident while in Northern Ireland and had to pay to repair the damage to the car. Auto insurance you have in the U.S. is only good for travel in the U.S. One thing that many people don't realize is that if they have a Visa credit card they are covered under a policy Visa provides to its customers free of charge. Coverage, however, is not included when traveling in seven countries around the globe. I don't remember all seven of the countries in which that applies, but I do know the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales are five of them. Do your research and know whether you're covered where you travel and if not take out the insurance policy the car rental place offers.
We did find out one other thing while in Ireland. You cannot buy simple products such as ibuprofen over the counter at department stores in Ireland. We stopped at a Tesco to do just that, and discovered those kinds of pain relievers are only sold at pharmacies. Tesco is much like out Walmart in the U.S.
One final point on this trip: People are generally good and friendly. Most of them are just like you and I. Yes, there are bad people in this world and be on the watch for them. Be safe.
Washington's Pacific Coast
Dawn and I are not big into staying in motels when we travel but would rather stay in a nice vacation rental. I am often asked how or where I find the places we stay in when we travel. We have used VRBO.com for several years now and last year, for the first time, used a site called flipkeyrentals.com. Both are very similar as to how they work.
VRBO stands for vacation rental by owner. People who own houses, apartments, condos, whatever, can list their properties as vacation rentals. Typically they advertise a nightly rate, weekly rate or occasionally monthly rates. They list the amenities available at the property, provide photos of the rental, and many provide a calendar which shows the dates that are filled and the dates that are open.
To find a property with VRBO click on the state you plan to visit on the map of the U.S provided. Next click on the region in the state where you want to find lodging. If you know which city you want to stay in, click on that city or just cruise around the area until you find what you like. There are a wide range of prices and sleeping capacities for the rentals. Once you find a place to rent, find out for sure when it is open. If it's a fit, book it. Each landlord has their own particular payment requirements.
Some people have expressed concern over being ripped off when using one of these sites but we have never had any problems. In fact, everyone we have dealt with have been great.
Occasionally you may find a place you want to visit that does not have any rental property available, as we experienced at Neah Bay. In that case visit the Chamber of Commerce for the place you're going and check out lodging they have listed. If you simply type in the name of the community you want to stay at in a search engine such as Google it will come up with options for you.
One other thing I want to discuss about Washington is the activity of gambling. Dawn and I both enjoy doing a little gambling now and then. Slot machines, and horse and dog racing are our pleasure and not table games. Washington is a good place to visit if you like to gamble.
I have been traveling to Washington state for almost 40 years now and as long as I have been going there gambling has been legal. Many of the lounges or bars have game rooms in the back. These are privately own and just have table games like cards, dice or roulette. More recently casinos have become a big item, at least in western Washington. If the casino is owned by the Native Americans it will offer a full range of gambling with slots and table games and off track betting. If they are privately owned there may be just two or three slot machines in the entire casino and they are set up differently than the slots in a regular casino. Private casinos are like the game rooms in the lounges only on a larger scale.
Over the years we've visited a half dozen or so casinos around western Washington.
We haven't stumbled on any dog tracks yet but on this last trip we did discover a horse track near Kent. We rented our car from a place in Kent and after picking it up when we arrived we were looking for a place to eat and instead found the horse track. The name of the track is Emerald Downs and actually it is between Kent and Auburn, Washington.
With our main objective being lunch, we didn't stay long. Five races I think. As a remember it, both of us held our own in betting. It was a little disappointing in that the field of horses was small, with only six horses per race. I prefer a field of eight or more horses so there is some challenge to betting. With just six horses per race the chances of winning a sizable pot is not good.
The food we had was decent and the stop was a good way for us to get our feet back on the ground after our flight.
Gambling is a fun activity as long as you find truth in the words of a David Bromberg song, "A man should never gamble… more than he can stand to lose… shoot the dice."

text: The chapters of this book, which are by liberal and feminist philosophers, address whether marriage reform ought to stop with same-sex marriage. Some philosophers have recently argued that marriage is illiberal and should be abolished or radically reformed to include groups and friendships. In response, Chapter 1 argues that marriage law can be justified without illiberal appeal to an ideal relationship type, and Chapter 2 argues that the liberal values justifying same-sex marriage do not justify further extension. Other chapters argue for new legal forms for intimate relationships. Chapter 3 argues that piecemeal directives rather than relationship contracts should replace marriage, and Chapter 4 argues for separating marriage and parenting, with parenting rather than marriage becoming the family's foundation. The fifth chapter argues for a non-hierarchical friendship model for marriage. The next one argues that polygamy should be decriminalized but that the liberal state need not recognize it, while Chapter 7 argues that polygamy could be legally structured to protect privacy and equality. The eighth chapter argues for temporary marriage as a legal option, while the chapter that follows argues that marital commitments are problematic instruments for securing romantic love. These essays challenge contemporary understandings of marriage and the state's role in it.

This Is What The Crown Prince Was Served In Lunch During His India Tour
The India tour of the Crown Prince has been a major talking point especially considering the multibillion-dollar deals that were sealed and the MOUs that were signed. Though the Crown Prince has left India almost a week ago, the menu of the lunch hosted by the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, only recently made its way to social media where it spread like wildfire. And, here's what was inside it.
The lunch was held at the iconic Hyderabad House building in New Delhi and the food was an amazing mix of Arabian, Mughlai and Indian favourites.
Appealing to the taste of Arabian dignitaries there was an assortment of dates, sambousek and kabsa.
Yes, there really was kabsa.
There was even qahwa to accompany the dates because you know an Arabian wouldn't like to have his dates without qahwa.

Amongst the Indian offerings, the ones that really stood out were the Roganjosh, Murgh Rasdaar and Zaatar Kesari Tikka – we feel like going to an Indian restaurant already.
Just reading the names of the desserts by those familiar with them will one's mouth water.
Kesari Jalebi, Garam Gulab Jamun and Shahi Kulfi with Falooda – what an epic lineup!
We don't have an idea of what the entire menu looked like because only the non-vegetarian menu trickled down to Twitter.
Earlier, the hors d'oeuvres menu from the lunch held by the Chinese authorities in Beijing made its way to social media as well. That was pretty epic too.
The lunch menu is leaked and it's in Arabic too.#CrownPrinceinChina pic.twitter.com/xiBRU9hDmo

TRIO/Student Support Services
Welcome back to Campus Spotlight, the program that lets you know what's happening on the campus West Kentucky Community and Technical College. On this segment we're going to be talking about Trio, Student Support Services - it's kind of like a safety net for our students. But I'm going to let John Krupansky, the director of Trio tell you what that means. John....
Trio is a program that was developed through the Department of Education in Washington D.C. over forty years ago. We...well our our main goal is uh...persistence, good academic standing in graduation rates, O.K. And uh... what we do is we try to provide any services that a student might need to uh...stay in school, to do well, and graduate.
But uh... we do mentoring and advising for new students to teach them what this whole experience is going to be about, and to prepare them for it, with their work ethic and habits and attitudes and commitment. And to let them know that there's someone in a program that's really interested in their success.
We're open from seven in the morning till five thirty in the afternoon, Monday through friday, so that usually makes it pretty available for a lot of students who have a complicated life and very busy schedule, so they can stop in basically anytime and get some assistance.
And uh...we help them through the time when they start to the time they finish here uh... with basically anything.
We help them prepare for the graduation and the transfer uh... by saying that what we do is uh... we have workshops to explain what certain colleges are requiring and uh...the process to get through it. And we also take them on tours of some of the regional colleges and we give them tour the campus to let them see what it feels like. And then we have them meet with an advisor in their academic area that they're going to pursue.
We work with students who are first-generation college students, meaning neither parent has earned or received a four-year degree. They may have been working on it, but they did not earn it, O.K. - at that point. Or uh...if their parent or stepparent earned a two-year degree that's fine they're still eligible for the program. Uh...but they have to be uh... a first year a college student, meaning like I say, neither parent has a four-year degree or they have a restricted income, which means if you are eligible for a Pell grant, you're probably within that category. Or if they have any kind of documented disability. Uh... any one of those three profiles or a combination they're fine. All they have to do is fill out an application form, we'll review it and let them know if we can get them in.
Uh... we're located in the Anderson Technical Building in room 126. Uh... students or uh...prospects can stop by anytime to pick up an application or we have an application online that they can fill out.
Thanks for joining us on Campus Spotlight, John. We appreciate it.
Well, we'll see you next time on Campus Spotlight, but before I go, I want to tell you again how you can see us. You can see us on the College Facebook page, YouTube page, and the College Web site. You can also see Campus Spotlight on Paducah 2 Television. See you next time.

AN aircraft operated by a Spanish low-cost airline was evacuated this afternoon (Sunday) after an 'explosion' and then smoke and a burning smell filled the inside the plane.
The Volotea flight from the Asturias Airport to Sevilla was still on the ground and safely evacuated with no reports of any injuries.
Passengers took to social media to Tweet photographs of a plume of white smoke coming from the rear of the aircraft.
The flight was cancelled and the company said passengers will be transferred to a later flight.
Initially the airline said that there had been a failure in the power unit of the plane, which caused the smoke, but that there had been no explosion.
Later the company clarified that a fuse had exploded during routine pre-flight checks. They said that their procedures worked as the checks were stopped when the problem was detected.
Engineers are now analysing the reason for the failure of the part.
Una explosión, humo y olor a quemado dentro del avión, nos tiene en Asturias a los pasajeros del vuelo Volotea 3831 con destino Sevilla. Nos queda esperar la solución a ese problema técnico.

A DELEGATION from South-East China recently visited Worcester to forge closer business and cultural links with the Faithful City.
The 10 Chinese visitors, made up of government officials and business representatives from Huizhou, arrived in Worcestershire on Monday (December 12).
They stopped off in the city as part of their European tour, with the purpose of their visit to progress links between China and the county.
Mayor Coun Paul Denham and Coun Adrian Gregson, Leader of Worcester City Council, took the delegation on a tour of the city, taking in the magnificent Cathedral, Friar Street and the Riverside. The Mayor then welcomed the guests to the Guildhall Parlour.
Coun Adrian Gregson said: "We were delighted to show off Worcester's heritage to the delegation, and to discuss potential investment opportunities in the city.
"The Chinese visitors were particularly impressed by the Mayor's regalia in the Guildhall."

The smartwatch industry is evolving. Here's a glimpse at recent events and predictions for the industry's future.
- At the close of 2014, the smartwatch industry had a whopping 89 companies vying for real estate on American wrists.
- Of those 89 companies, 10 dominated close to 80 percent of the total market share.
- Among the top 10, four companies were new to the market in 2014.
- The six market veterans all experienced at least 20 percent growth.
Though you probably know someone with a smartwatch, this red-hot industry is still in its infancy. Sure, Dick Tracy had one before any of us and tech companies have been experimenting for over a decade (does anyone remember the IBM WatchPad in 2001?, but we're waiting for the big boom. So, what's the holdup? Are consumers holding out for a new brand, better features, a lower price point, or all of the above?
How Big Is Apple's Bite?
We'll have to wait and see, but they look hungry. Apple introduced its smartwatch – the Apple Watch (naturally) – this past April. According to Forbes, 957,000 people pre-ordered one. How does that compare to past Apple launches? Well, the iPhone sold 270,000 units in its first 30 hours and the iPad ran out 300,000 units in just one day.
To say that the Apple Watch had a nice debut would be an understatement, but it may be a mirage. One survey by Piper Jaffray found THAT only seven percent of iPhone users plan to accessorize with an Apple Watch in 2015; that's compared to the 35 percent of users who said they would purchase an iPad after seeing the tablet in action. Critics attribute this to the idea that there's no clear use for smartwatches without a defining feature that makes them must-have items.
Anything Your Smartwatch Can Do, Your Smartphone Can Do Better
Without a standout feature, smartwatches are likely to face an uphill battle to increase sales. For instance, smartwatches have the ability to read and send texts, make phone calls, check the weather, and surf the web, which might make them technologically superior to a common wristwatch. But a smartphone can do all that and more.
On this topic, the Pebble smartwatch emerges from the crowd with an interesting feature: it's water resistant up to 50 meters. Imagine going swimming in a lake, ocean, or pool and still being able to receive and read your texts, for example. (Talk about multi-tasking.) With this feature Pebble sets itself apart from not only other category competitors, but issues a challenge to smartphones as well.
What Time Is It?
Big press notwithstanding, the smartwatch industry is just getting out of the gate. But it may just be a matter of time before the right brand, must-have features, and the perfect price all align into one hit product. Who knows, maybe one day the smartwatch will be as prevalent as the smartphone is now.
Of course, if your customers have gotten in early and already have a smartwatch, we've got 'em covered. Fortegra now offers accessory protection plans similar to our phone and tablet products. And that's good news for early adopters (especially if they're not sporting the water-resistant Pebble smartwatch). Check out the latest additions to the Fortegra Warranty lineup at fortegra.com/warranty.

Experts say Republicans and Democrats could set aside their partisan differences following the 2018 midterms to find some bipartisan compromises on drug pricing legislation, FierceHealthcare reports.
Jennings Policy Strategies Founder and President Chris Jennings tells FierceHealthcare drug pricing has been a major point of focus for both parties, and that the Trump administration has already set its sights on stronger competition and monopolistic practices.
"There's only so long you can claim to do something about it without doing something about it," Jennings said.

Deb C. has created Mesh Me Not, a website for women which is a valuable resource for information both before and after surgery. Here is her Top 10 List… it was too good NOT to republish. Thank you Deb! Please visit her site!~ Editor
Mesh Me Not here.
What if I could go back in time to before I had my mesh implant for SUI? What are the things I wish I had known? What do I think I SHOULD have been told? What do I think are the basics that everyone should know before they have surgery for any pelvic repairs, including POP (Pelvic Organ Prolapse), Bladder Prolapse, and SUI (Stress Urinary Incontinence)?
These are the top 10 on my list:
Top 10 Things to Know About Mesh BEFORE Having Surgery for POP or SUI
1) There are FDA WARNINGS
FDA warnings went out to doctors and the general public regarding MESH used for POP (Pelvic Organ Prolapse) in 2008, 2011, and a few news releases since then. Even though these warnings are mostly geared towards POP repairs, they also contain a lot of information regarding reported complications for SUI (Stress Urinary Incontinence). There seems to be some debate regarding the safety for mesh used for POP vs SUI. Still, in these warnings, there are specific warnings and guidelines for doctors and the general public that I would think anyone considering having TVM (transvaginal mesh) repairs would want to know, and should be made aware of.
2011-07-13 FDA NEWS RELEASE / 2011 FULL FDA warning (PDF)
I wish my doctor really explained to me that these FDA warnings existed, and that they directly pertained to the kind of surgery I was having. Not just gloss over general complications that apply to any surgery, but discuss the SPECIFIC warnings regarding TVM. Things like: complications are: "not rare"; how serious and often permanent complications can be, and that there is no evidence that pelvic repairs using mesh provides any clinical benefit compared to traditional surgery.–
2) The Lawsuits all over the TV are NOT just for "older", "outdated", and "no longer in use" mesh.

Exosomes are a specialized subtype of small extracellular vesicles that are derived from mesenchymal stromal cells (stem cells). They're a truly unique type of stem cell that has shown promising healing results in countless research studies.
When exosomes are harvested, usually from a prescreened donor, and injected directly into injured areas, they provide therapeutic benefits. Exosomes are known for regulating your immune cells, stimulating cell signaling involved in healing, and dramatically decreasing inflammation.
To put all of this into perspective, exosomes simply act as messengers. They tell other cells how and when to react to enhance and improve the healing properties that already occur in your body.
Georgia RegenRX proudly offers exosome therapy treatments for men and women suffering from debilitating pain-causing conditions and injuries. This innovative type of treatment may benefit you if you have:
Exosome therapy even has promising benefits for helping with serious ailments such as Parkinson's disease. Georgia RegenRX is home to a team of leading regenerative medicine specialists, so you can feel confident about getting results from your exosome therapy treatment.
When you come in to Georgia RegenRX for an evaluation, your dedicated practitioner goes over your medical records and sits and talks with you about your symptoms. They design your exosome therapy treatment plan based on your concerns.
During your exosome therapy treatment, you receive one or more injections into injured or inflamed areas, such as joints. While no downtime is needed, you might have some temporary swelling or inflammation after your exosome therapy treatment.
With each passing week, as exosomes continue stimulating healing processes, your symptoms should improve. While you may experience optimal results as quickly as 4-8 weeks after your exosome therapy session at Georgia RegenRX, your practitioner may recommend follow-up treatments if you have a more complex condition.
Schedule your exosome therapy consultation at Georgia RegenRX today. Simply click on the online scheduler or call the office to book a visit.
Individual results may vary.

On Thursday Sept. 6, The Board of Governors held a meeting to discuss the search process of the next president of Missouri Western. Several staff members and administration were in attendance to listen and even give their own opinion highlighting who they want on the search list.
The Board of Governors consists of Chair David Liechti, Vice Chair Deborah J. Smith, SGA Student Governor Paul Granberry III, Alfred Purcell and Jennifer Dixon. Liechti's original plan was to create a board composition of about 15 people. After hearing from staff members and administration, the search process has grown to nearly 20-23 people to assure that no group has been left out.
A major point of emphasis during the meeting was making sure community views and ideas are heard. The search will include people outside of Missouri Western walls as the St. Joseph area will be kept in the loop on such a big decision.
Board of Governors Chair David Liechti talked about the importance of getting everyone involved in the search.
"We want to make sure all the stakeholders that are interested in making the university go forward, we want to make sure they have a place at the table," Liechti said. "I feel good about the people we asked. I feel good that people will be represented. We're going to have the business community represented, and we're going to have the school district connected to them. There will be different people that aren't necessarily working at Missouri Western that will be involved in the process."
Student Governor Paul Granberry III spoke on what he will be doing to get the students involved in the search.
"I will be calling on the SGA senate on whether to decide to form a committee for the students," Granberry said. "It is just a committee I'm creating so that students can bring input. So, when I go to the actual committee I have the students' needs and traits that they want in a president."
Board Member Alfred Purcell talked about the board's chances of concluding their search sometime in the March-April area of next spring.
"That is our desire," Purcell said. "We plan it out… sometimes that game plan gets changed. We have to be really focused to make sure that there is a window of opportunity in terms of folks that are signing contracts with their current universities or whatever. We have to be very cognizant of the timeline that we're going through to ensure that we do have someone identified when we narrow it down so we can extend a contract to that person."
The Board of Governors will hold another meeting on Oct. 25 to discuss any updates on the search process.

If you dip Your nails or use Extensions It doesnt take long to dry your nails out to a flaky scaly nail you dont recognise but dont worry its really easy to repair dry nails within a few days if you take some time out from your usual manicure
Why are your Nails Dry?
If you are applying dip or using any type of extension products that make the nail stick to your nail like primers cleansers dehydrators and glue all dry the nail bed intentionally so you product sticks to the nail,then when we remove the product with acetone this drys it further,and if you are regularly doing this process or using acetone for longer periods of time to soak off stubborn nails you will get very dry nails
You can also have dry nails if you dont use anything on them all these tips will help you as well,vitamin deficencys,hormones and working in dry enviroments can all dry out your nails without any product
I regularly change my nails for videos and this page and below is a image of my nail when i took off my last set of nails
Its a constant battle of drying your nails for extensions or dip then rehydrating them inbetween if youlet your nails keep staying dry they will break really low and become painful on the nail bed and around the sides of your fingers
Red ness and itching also tiny red blisters signifys you may be allergic to Acetone or the nail product, if this the case try your best to try and get as less product on your skin as possible.
Use protection nail peel off liquid around your finger when applying products moisturing the finger intensly will help releive the itching and redness untill it calms down
As for dry nails dont keep reappying dip and product stop for a few days to rehydrate your nails it can happen quickly if you work on it
Heres my routine :
Cuticle oil twice a day and rub into nail and finger
I use these two cuticle oils we dont sell these on our website site so if you click on the image you will be taken to the product on amazon,If you decide to purchase amazon will pay us a nominal advertising fee.
Cnd solar ol ive used since i was about 20 its a great all around oil i find the trial size goes along way so dont buy it in large quantitys
The other one i use is this coconut Fragranged oil they come in lots of scents from almond to kiwi quite small bottles but do the job
Next i rub in a large quantity of hand cream nothing to fragranced and leave it on all over my nails for a few minutes before rubbing in by now my nails are usually visbly improving
I love anything coconut so Palmers cocnut handcream is ideal for me
Last of all if really dry i soak my hands in warm water and cocnut oil if you dont have coconut oil you can use any oil ,olive oil is also great ,usually you will see a improvement straigt away but its best to dothis for a few days to let you nails and fingers heal.
If you have any kind of product on your nails use cuticle oil every day ontop of your dip or extension it will help tremendously
Other things you can try
Where latex gloves when applying product to your nails on the opposite hand to protect it from extra product
Pick a hand cream /moisturiser with alpha hydroxy acids.
Put petroleum jelly on your nails at night let it work its magic while you sleep
Which ever method you choose let your nails recover before applying new product or anything that needs to be removed with acetone ,keep your cuticle oil in your bag and apply it as often as you like ,you donthave to spend lots of money on oil for your nails either some cuticle oils on our site start

Marc Cuniberti: The very human art of the stock market
Ever since stock markets existed, people have tried to find the Holy Grail as to predicting what a particular stock or index would do, how much and in which direction it would go and when would it go there.
There are technical analysts who might stare at a chart of price movements over a particular period of time and draw from that a conclusion as to future movements. Some tout seasonal tendencies for movements such as stocks fall in the fall, or "sell stocks in May and go away" as the saying goes, then buy them back in November. There is one for presidential cycles, who wins the Super Bowl and even one based on the length of women's skirts. The various prognostications obviously run the gamut from highly technical to ludicrous. Heck, I knew a woman who would shake some wooded cubes with symbols on them that only she understood and depending on the shake, would then buy or sell a certain security. Talk about leaving your money to chance! Hey, that reminds me of another game called gambling.
Actually the Wall Street Journal gained notoriety for the "dart board' test. It went along the lines that a monkey with box of darts tossing them at the Journals' stock ticker pages could make more money than most professional money managers. The WSJ had their employees play the monkeys and hurl the darts. The contest has been held 100 times and the pro's lead by a score of 61 to 39 (Investorhome.com).
The returns in percentages are higher than the numerical score so don't hire a group of monkeys and go out and buy some darts. But the difference between the two groups is embarrassingly smaller than one would have thought.
Other popular theories are the Santa Claus rally and the January effect. The bearded fat man in the red suit theory assumes people in the festive mood of holiday season would buy stocks based on how good they felt during this time of year. The time period affected would be the last week of December to the first two trading days of January of the New Year.
Another theory is the January effect. This is based on the idea that year end stock selling to harvest tax losses versus gains meant (Santa Claus effect put aside now) that more stocks than usual would be sold in December improve a better tax situation and then in January all that money would come flooding back into the markets.
Needless to say if any of these were foolproof the word would be out and the house would rig the game against such methods. Alas we see no such rules set by the authorities forbidding investors from betting their hard earned savings based on such silliness which tells us none of these theories hold much water.
Sure, perhaps some statistics might lean one way or another as statistics are rarely in perfect balance but the bottom line is none of these or any other methods or systems, manmade or computer generated can predict the ups and downs of markets, although there are Charlatans' out there that would try and convince you otherwise.
The reason is the same as to why a degree in Economics is a Bachelor of Arts and not Bachelor of Sciences degree. It's because the stock markets are said to be a study of human sociology and not a study of science. Science, like math, has definite truths, absolute cause and effects, and irrefutable conclusions given a certain set of circumstances. The movement of markets however, is just the sum of all the beliefs of all the millions of investors in it at any given time. And that my friend is sociology, not science.
Tell me what hundreds of millions of people will do at any given day in the market as a whole and the stock market will be your oyster. But then again, that's not quite possible is it?
