Chicago Teachers are on Strike, which is what 94% of the teachers and support staff voted for district wide. I happen to be lucky enough to have worked in this Chicago Public Schools District since 2001 when I became an Occupational Therapist for children with different ability levels. I love my students and I would rather be in school instead of marching outside on the streets. What a lot of people may or may or not know is that according to Illinois State Law, teachers can only strike over pay. So, our new Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot offered a 4% raise per year (16% over 4 years) in hopes that this would be enough.
But, this is not enough. Why? Because us teachers and clinicians are rebels. We don't do this for the money. We do this for the kids. We dare to dream of a world where we don't have to ask for a nurse, a library, and a social worker for all of our schools because in the suburbs, these are all given and more. Why should Chicago students have less? Why should Chicago students suffer with dirty classrooms? Are these good learning conditions? A few years back they tested the water fountains at school for lead and found at least 30% of those tested had lead and so they just stopped testing. And nothing was done about it. Are these good learning conditions? Chicago is plagued by classism and racism that forces many children into unsafe living environments but Lori Lightfoot would rather open up police stations than provide money for schools. Are these good learning conditions when our students come to school with toxic stress syndrome and no social worker is present to help them?
The answer in our hearts is no. And there isn't a law in existence that is going to keep Chicago teachers from fighting. I will fight. I will lose my pay. I will march in the cold. But, I will stand up for these children and it is an honor. They need to see this. They need to see their teachers love them and will fight for them to exist in a better world. To breathe. To be loved. To have a high quality of life. That is what the Chicago Teacher's Union Strike is really all about.

The letterbox that was attached to this support is in a worse state than the supports are. However the newer one which is attached to the fence above the remnants of its predecessor isn't in a much better state either!!
Better viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)

"The area was first occupied in the Middle Palaeolithic age. The rock at Saignon, on a prominent location over the valley, was used as an ancient observatory and possibly a signal station. The name Saignon is believed to derive from the word "Sagnio", which comes from "signum".[2]
The 12th century Romanesque church of Notre-Dame de Pitié, also known as Saint Mary of Saignon, has been a stopping point for religious pilgrims since the Middle Ages: in addition to local pilgrims from Provence, it was positioned on the way for those traveling to Rome along the Via Domitia, and for Italian pilgrims going to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.[2]
The 11th century Benedictine Abbaye Saint-Eusèbe, located just outside the town, traces its history to an earlier 6th century structure. After being destroyed and rebuilt several times, the Lord of Saignon restored the abbey to the Order of Saint Giles, which received support from the Benedictine Cluny Abbey and its abbot, St. Odilon. Pope Urban II passed through the area in 1096 and devoted the church which had been recently rebuilt. The abbey is now rented to the public for events"

The interior of an old building showing a supporting structure of beams and columns designed to shore it up and prevent collapse.
I shot this photo to capture the shapes created by the steel work. The interior divided up into new frames and rectangles. I also wished to capture the contrasting textures of the old stone and rusting steel.
we welcome a shiny new 2009.
Thank you all, lovely Flickr friends, for your comments, support, friendship and encouragement throughout the year, all of which I appreciate enormously. I wish you a very Happy New Year, and look forward to a new year of photo sharing.
I am quite fussy about scale, but with a reason; I like to be able to put different vehicles together. That is fairly easy to pull of on a fairly large scale. At this scale, not so much. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out, though.

Yes it is a functioning telescope, just like 21323 Grand Piano is a functioning piano. Meaning, you can see what's in the sky, but not actual stars, nor the real Moon.
So how does it work ? There's a light brick hidden inside the model. It is activated by pressing the lens, and the light passes through a decorated transparent piece (sets like 75810, 10273 or 70917 use this principle), magnifying glasses (I know, the way they are placed on the model is not realistic, but it's for LEGO IDEAS), bounces on a "mirror" (a tile with a shiny sticker), so when you look through the eyepiece, you can see what you could see if you looked through an actual telescope.
Since it could be a bit boring to always see the same thing, my entry comes with four different patterns, that were designed by Thi's studs. There's a galaxy, Jupiter with the Galilean moons, the Moon, and the Solis Magna system. Jupiter and the Moon are a reference to Galileo Galilei, who invented the telescope and discovered the existence of satellites orbiting Jupiter. The Solis Magna system is a nod to BIONICLE.
The model is made of 231 parts, and you can see it in 3D on Mecabricks : www.mecabricks.com/en/models/oK2w7Rk029k
A sign of the times. No-one is safe ANYWHERE these days. Still, it was re-assuring to see some sort of armed rapid response unit was to hand.
I think the vehicle is an Audi Q7.

For the last few weeks I've been creating tons of photos and then throwing them to the side. Every so often I think that my tastes have not changed necessarily, but have become more specific. I'm not as thrilled anymore with the "same old thing", and the fact that I know what "the same old thing" means in relation to my photos means it's time for a change. I feel creatively more alive than ever as I've been doing a lot of thinking about who I am and what I want to say. I can't wait to push harder and say it!

So, I was going through some photos from late last year and came across this one, which I had not really noticed when first perusing shots from that batch. I'm quite taken with it and thought that it complemented my previous two posts well, which together epitomise some of my primary approaches to light.
I'm unlikely to post again until the weekend and will catch up with y'all tonight and tomorrow. Hope everyone's well.

Prophecy of Isaiah approximately 500 yrs before Jesus was born ( If I wasn't mistaken of the time period ) being fulfilled by Jesus' birth, with many supporting books from Biblical prophets that points to Jesus is the messianic saviour. He isn't a prophet, Jesus is God in the flesh born as man or Son of man / son of God. The said prophecy of government under his shoulders has NOT been fulfilled yet .Many believe this will be the coming Millenial Kingdom of Christ on earth as spoken clearly in the book of Revelation and the book of Daniel (OT) soon after the real cleansing of evil system ( beast system ) and all the unbelieving and those who get the mark of the Beast be cast out / Satan bound for a thousand years . In the Millenial Kingdom of Christ , Jesus will reign in human form .Some interpretations speaks of people coming out alive after of the great tribulation or the Armageddon ,who have NOT received the mark of the beast and who haven't rejected Jesus ,and those who give their lives / lost their lives for Jesus Christ during such time of testing will live and repopulate the earth again for a thousand years ,while Satan completely bound for a thousand years in hades never to mess up during that particular period with Christ reign on earth in human form as King of Kings on Earth . Soon the closing of a thousand years Satan will be loose again to decieved the people of the earth for a very short period ,that's the final battle . We are in a dispensaton before the Millenial Kingdom ,which has to end (not the end of the world /earth ,but the end of this corrupt evil world as we knew it ) .Best is , read your Bibles especially in the book of Revelations ,very interesting part .
This isn't my original photo , I downloaded the main picture from a free clip art site which I posted below with the source link ,and just added some photoshop tweaking and lighting to suit my version :) which is about the birth of Jesus Christ . Jesus wasn't born during the winter December 25 according to Biblical scholars. Jesus was born on a different time of the year. I'm not discussing this any further here.
I just wish you all a blessed and enjoyable time with your love ones :)
I'll be very busy from today and on after Christmas and I doubt I would have enough time to chase up with flickr comments ,but I'll try :) Though I hope my one week (first week of January 2013 ) annual leave request be granted without a fuzz , wish me luck friends :)
Not the least to say here ,thank you very much of your compliments , kind words ,Christmas greetings ,faves and views even of those just passing by :) Very much appreciated :)

There's always the arguement about whether to believe the vision prophey of St Malachy because he was a Roman Catholic .But God in the Old Testament days used people who aren't his annointed prophets like dreams and visions.Example to this is King Nibuchadnizzar who had a proheic dream of te different Kingdoms of earth to the last days .Nibuchadnizaar wasn't of God but God used him. I am not defending the Roman Catholic Church but it's not good to demonize every Roman Catholics either .There should be people that love God and seek God and is with God in the Roman Catholic church too.
