It’s not enough that the Education Establishment of this country has dropped tons of stupid policies on us. No, they have done something else almost as diabolical.
They have blurred the distinction between teachers, that is the people in the classrooms, and educators, that is, the bosses at the top. These two groups have no more to do with each other than management and labor typically do. Educators devise policies, often very flawed policies. Teachers have no choice but to carry them out.
For most of American history, this distinction was understood and required no explanation. Now, however, there is an epidemic of confusion. Make a comment about educators, or even education, and teachers wonder why you are saying mean things about them.
I think the Education Establishment has pulled off a cute trick here. They have deliberately tangled up the terms. How often have you heard kindergarten teachers referred to as “educators”? Here’s why this happens. Most people like and admire teachers. But more and more people are figuring out that “educators” are not people that you should like and admire.

Listen To Me, You Rich Successful People In Your Big Houses:
I know, I know, you don’t want to think about all the bad public schools out there. Nothing to do with you, right?? Wrong. The effects are oozing through the society. You are in danger.
Want safety? Here are three threats we have to overcome:
1) THE EDUCATION ESTABLISHMENT CAN’T BE TRUSTED. Almost a century ago, they took a wrong turn, and went down a road marked SOCIAL ENGINEERING. The problem for everybody else is that these ideologues hope to wreck the society we’ve got, so they can build the collectivized world they dream about.

Here in British Columbia, Canada the latest lottery winners were a gay couple. Regular working people. Cool. I wonder if they would be as generous as an elderly couple in Nova Scotia who won 11.2 Million in July 2010. They have given away most of the money to family and charities. Now that’s cooler.
I always wondered what I would do if I won say.. 10 million dollars. Tax free, of course. (This is Canada!). First – debt free. Own a nice house and so on. That’s going to burn oohh about $600,000. Then I’d want a boat, maybe an apartment somewhere nice and hot. That’s set me back another $600,000. Or more, who knows.
I would quit work. So I would set up a fund where I could have a steady income for the rest of my life which is about another 20 years. So to clear $10,000/month just from a 3% financial vehicle I would need $15,000 per month gross. Or $180,000 per year. That would need about $5,500,000 invested.

How To Catch A Dream. You know the feeling. You get up with an entire dream fresh in your mind, but inside seconds it fades and completely disappears, or leaves only a whiff of a memory behind. How can a dream just crumble away like that? Is there a treatment for dream amnesia?
Remembering your dreams is a matter of practice. Dreams disappear after they’re in your short-term memory. The key is to switch your dream from short-term into long-term memory as rapidly as you can, before short’s time is up.
One of the simplest ways to do this is to talk your dream aloud or write down the principle key phrases straight away. Tell your dream to your partner, speak it into a recorder, or just tell it aloud to yourself. Your long-term memory remembers the way in which you tell the dream greater than the dream itself.

There are several factors that makes everything we watch, specially a review, worth your time. First of all if you’re a musician searching for gear you probably already know what type of equipment your are doing research for. The great thing about some review sites is that its content targets a musician enthusiast like yourself who really likes and enjoys new equipment and information about its music instrument.
Let’s face it, not all reviews are created equal. Some people are very knowledgeable in their area of expertise, but they’re not very good entertainers. Their reviews tend to end up a little boring and slow to the untrained eye. Some other reviewers love to show off their skills in front of the camera, completely ignoring the audience and the reason why they’re watching the video in the first place.
We can all agree that although creating an entertaining review is not rocket science, making it pleasurable to watch required a set of tactics and skills.

About 4/5 years ago I read Gill Hale’s ‘The Feng Shui Garden’ and was relieved to have found a publication recognising the potential role Feng Shui could play in gardening practice.
The publication reinforced my conviction about Yin and Yang influence on 5 element balance and applying this method alone could stimulate positive chi energy accumulation in our surroundings. Complimentary Feng Shui publications suggested beneficial chi accumulation was favoured if the site was protected from external sha (negative or detrimental) intrusions. In some situations, external intrusions being negated by applying the tiger, dragon, tortoise and phoenix quadrant around the boundaries to the site.
My first introduction to Feng Shui occurred at Port Douglas in Queensland and a discussion with a couple of people enthused with the subject. I had no idea what they were talking about and following the discussion I drew on a sheet of paper what I thought chi energies represented. The image showed beneficial (sheng) chi was highest in a ”core” of chi and the core protected by a mantle of supportive chi energy. Detrimental chi energies couldn’t access the core and the level of beneficial chi accumulation was in turn governed by the controlling or stimulating influences of chi entry to the site and treatments applied to prolong beneficial chi energy.
I suggested these treatments were clean, smooth, meandering lines of space for chi to move along and guided by the edges or boundaries which didn’t contain sha chi influences. In other words the core was protected by a mantle of beneficial chi and chi was able to move freely around and stimulate the core. The core was nurtured by beneficial chi and chi in a sense could accumulate within the core. Like some type of nucleus.
