A real estate agent is a licensed professional who often acts as an intermediary between the buyer and the seller in real estate transactions. This accordingly implies the real estate agent consults for the benefit of the purchaser and the merchant of the real estate property. There are various famous real estate firms which furnishes its customers with a wide assortment of real estate administrations. In any case there are different tips that should be mulled over while enrolling a real estate expert. The first tip to consider is the reputation of the real estate agent.
This is a result of the fact that there are different individuals who may veil themselves as real estate agents then they end up getting away with people's money. Consequently it is vital to guarantee that the real estate agent is authorized. The real estate agent should also have knowledge of the local surrounding which the client wishes to purchase the property. This is because of when a real estate agent knows about the area they should have the ability to give their client the best insight on paying little respect to whether to purchase a touch of property inside that area.
Experience is additionally critical when hoping to contract a real estate agent. Therefore the real estate agent should have a vast experience in selling different types of real estate properties and the experience is often acquired over a significant period of time.

The 2018 Illinois gubernatorial election took place on November 6, 2018, to elect the Governor of Illinois, concurrently with the 2018 Illinois general election and other midterm elections. Incumbent Republican Governor Bruce Rauner ran for re-election to a second term in office, but was defeated by Democratic nominee J. B. Pritzker.

This was the second consecutive Illinois gubernatorial election in which the incumbent unsuccessfully sought re-election, and was also the first time that two consecutive governors have been elected without prior public office experience. Rauner was one of two incumbent Republican governors to be defeated for re-election in 2018, the other being Scott Walker in neighboring Wisconsin,  who had lost narrowly to Tony Evers. In addition, Rauner had the worst defeat for an incumbent governor in any state since Ernie Fletcher's defeat in Kentucky's 2007 election. Rauner's 38.8% of the vote was the worst performance for an incumbent Illinois Governor since 1912; he also received the lowest raw percentage of the vote for a Republican nominee since 1912.

Ultimately, Rauner remained on the ballot, and lost in the most lopsided gubernatorial election since Jim Edgar was reelected in 1994. With Pritzker winning by a margin of 15.7%, this was the biggest gubernatorial margin of victory for a Democrat since 1932.  This was the first gubernatorial election in the state since 2002 where the Democrat won a majority of the vote.

The Illinois LGBTQ Forum: The Democratic Candidates for Governor was held on December 6, 2017, and organized by Affinity Community Services, the Association of Latinos/as Motivating Action (ALMA), the Equality Illinois Institute, and Pride Action Tank. Candidates who attended included Daniel Biss, Tio Hardiman, Ameya Pawar, J. B. Pritzker, and Chris Kennedy.

Whitney Young High School hosted the first student-run gubernatorial debate in the United States on October 4, 2017. All 7 then current candidates attended, meaning Daniel Biss, Bob Daiber, Tio Hardiman, Chris Kennedy, Alex Paterakis, Ameya Pawar, and J. B. Pritzker.

The Illinois chapter of progressive advocacy organization Our Revolution sponsored a forum at the Chicago Teacher's Union headquarters on October 8, 2017. Candidates voiced similar opinions on single-payer health care, gun control, and the minimum wage, but differed on a hypothetical state deal with Amazon and relationships with powerful Illinois Speaker Mike Madigan.

The Democratic candidates held their first televised debate on January 23. All six candidates met again a week later on January 30. The debate was not televised but was uploaded to WSIL-TV's YouTube channel.

Another debate was held on February 21, which was hosted by the University of Illinois Springfield. Chris Kennedy did not attend due to a back injury, although all five other candidates participated. Another major debate took place on March 1. It involved issues such as gun control, Blagojevich's tapes, sexual harassment, and relatability. Another debate took place the next day in Springfield. The topics involved Madigan, sexual harassment, among other issues. The spotlight remained on the top contenders: Chris Kennedy, J.B Pritzker, and Daniel Biss.

Pritzker was criticized for refusing to commit to attend the only live-television debate planned outside the Chicago media market, prompting the debate's cancellation. Biss and Kennedy gathered petition signatures to encourage the debate's continuation, and Biss commented that "JB is borrowing a page from the billionaire playbook, avoiding debates and shunning reporters who ask tough questions." Another debate took place on March 14, revolving around topics including Pritzker's newly reported offshore holdings, Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan, and education. Kennedy and Biss both attacked Pritzker on the offshore businesses, Kennedy "saying it's like a job interview, and Pritzker lying to get the job", and Biss saying "Pritzker did that to avoid taxes".

Results

Pritzker won 98 of Illinois' counties. Kennedy and Biss both won two counties each.

Campaign
A November 2017 Capitol Fax/We Ask America poll found that 83% of Republican voters have never heard of Ives. Ives' campaign's fourth-quarter fundraising totals were around $500,000. On February 28, 2018, Ives' campaign released a new book entitled The Governor You Don't Know: The Other Side of Bruce Rauner, authored by Chicago GOP chairman and Ives campaign chairman Chris Cleveland with a foreword by conservative State Representative Tom Morrison.

Rauner and Ives held their first and only scheduled forum on January 29, before the Chicago Tribune editorial board." Rauner largely ignored his opponent and focused on attacking Speaker Mike Madigan, comparing him to his likely Democratic challenger, J. B. Pritzker. Ives, on the other hand, attacked Rauner for being an ineffective governor and alienating social conservatives. Shortly after the debate, conservative Lake Forest businessman Richard Uihlein donated $500,000 to Ives' campaign.

Rauner and Ives were invited by the University of Illinois Springfield to debate a second time; Rauner declined the invitation.

Ives released an ad titled "Thank You, Bruce Rauner" on February 3, 2018, in an attempt to challenge her opponent's commitment to conservative values. Her ad featured actors outfitted to portray a transgender woman, an anti-fascist protester wearing a hood and a bandana over his face, a member of the Chicago Teachers Union and a Women's March activist. After Ives' ad made its rounds on the internet, advocacy groups, some Republicans and Democrats lashed out against Ives, calling her video bigoted and offensive. The ad increased Ives's profile and name recognition. Three Chicago-area newspaper editorial boards came out against the ad: the Chicago Tribune said "The portrayals are demeaning;" the Daily Herald said that Ives should take down the ad, which "attacks people of Illinois, not opponent", and the Chicago Sun-Times wrote, "Jeanne Ives goes for the bully vote with her TV ad."

Polling

Results

Despite a 14% decrease in Republican primary votes cast, Rauner increased his overall vote total by 9% compared to the 2014 primary. In 2018, he managed to capture a narrow majority of the votes, with 51.5%, in his victory over conservative Ives. By comparison, in 2014 Rauner only received 40.2% of the primary vote in his narrow win victory over Kirk Dillard, Bill Brady, and Dan Rutherford.

In 2018, Rauner did well in central Illinois compared to the Republican primary four years earlier, when he managed 30% in the downstate region and finished 2nd to Kirk Dillard. In 2018, he carried the region with 52%.

However, the result was still considered surprisingly close, and indicated widespread dissatisfaction with Rauner's governorship among more conservative Republicans.

Third parties and independents
In order to qualify as an established party in Illinois, a candidate for said party must earn at least 5% of the vote in a statewide election. This last occurred in 2006, when Rich Whitney won 10% of the vote, allowing the Illinois Green Party to achieve such status. Established party status comes with benefits. For example, candidates of an established party needs only 5,000 voter signatures on its petitions to gain ballot access. For non-established parties this number is approximately 25,000.

For the 2018 election, non-established parties do not need to run a full slate in order to qualify for ballot access.

Conservative
Sam McCann, a longtime intraparty opponent of Bruce Rauner, resigned from the Republican Caucus to run for governor as a member of the newly created Conservative Party.

Candidates
 Sam McCann, state senator
 Running mate: Aaron Merreighn, activist and United States Marine Corps veteran

Libertarian
Kash Jackson was the Libertarian nominee. Libertarian nominees for governor, other statewide offices, and the General Assembly were chosen by the Libertarian Party of Illinois at a state convention on March 3, 2018, in Bloomington, Illinois. Jackson appeared on the ballot.

However, on June 5, 2018, Kelly dropped out and endorsed the third party campaign of Sam McCann.

Withdrew

Green Party
The Green Party ran a slate of statewide candidates in 2006 and 2010, but failed to be placed on the ballot in 2014 and declined to run any statewide candidates in 2018.

General election
Bruce Rauner had been rated as one of, if not the most, vulnerable governor running for re-election in 2018 by Politico and the National Journal. Following his surprisingly narrow primary win, Rauner offered former state senator Karen McConnaughay, attorney general nominee Erika Harold, Chicago Cubs co-owner and Republican National Committee Finance Chair Todd Ricketts and Illinois Republican Party Committeeman Richard Porter the chance to replace him on the ticket, with the promise that he would continue to fully fund the campaign using his personal wealth. Rauner consistently trailed Pritzker in the polls by large margins, and the race was rated as a likely Democratic win by all major election prognosticators.

Results
Pritzker only won 16 out of Illinois's 102 counties. However, those counties account for more than half of the state's total population. In the end, the election was not close with the Pritzker/Stratton ticket defeating the Rauner/Sanguinetti ticket by almost 16 percentage points. Pritzker won the traditionally Democratic Cook County which includes the Chicago Metropolitan Area. Pritzker won in all but one of Chicago's collar counties, which used to be more of a tossup in years prior. Pritzker also did well in other cities such as East Saint Louis and Champaign, and narrowly won in Peoria. Rauner did well in most rural areas of the state, but it was not enough to put a dent into Pritzker's lead. Pritzker and Stratton were sworn in on January 14, 2019.

Painted glass ornaments are right on trend right now; from mason jars, vases, bottles (in all shapes and sizes) through to candle holders and even everyday drinking glasses – all can be transformed into your own piece of art. Whether you prefer a simple elegant metallic touch or want to jump onto a full on colour trend –painted glass adds finesse and your unique style to any room.
This look is almost limitless and so easy to do – simply pour your choice of paint into your choice of vessels and roll the vessel around until the inside is completely covered. Once dry, it's good to go with your colour shining through the glass. Step it up a notch by choosing one dominant colour and painting a series of shades – think the moody turquoises of the fifties or pick a complementary colour spectrum moving from yellow brights through to soft plums for an impressive collection to show.
Using nothing but tape and or stickers, you can create an incredible array of patterns painting the inside or outside of your objects. Tape can be using to create horizontal or vertical stripes, while stickers can give you spots, squares and more… Simply tape (or sticker) your glass vessel in your chosen pattern, paint the surface where you've place the tape and once dry – peel off the pattern elements leaving the unpainted surface. Applying elastic or rubber bands and spray-painting over them is another great idea. Again it's so easy to do; just remove the bands once the paint is dry for a look that's entirely unique to you.
Or dip you vessel to create a two-toned effect (metallic can look especially good this way). You can even drill holes in your vessel to create bespoke hanging art – ideal for tealight candles or even air plants. And by painting the lids of old jars and adding colourful door knobs, you can create a series of co-ordinated storage jars while being able to see exactly what each one holds – brilliant!

Like many schools throughout the country, California Elementary School, in Orange Unified School District (USD), faces a significant challenge helping students reach grade-level proficiency in reading. With a student population comprised of 90 percent English Language Learners and 94 percent receiving free or reduced price lunch, many students begin the year two or more years below grade level. To address this challenge, California Elementary School implemented Lexia Reading® Core5® blended learning program as part of a pilot program in the spring of 2015.
California Elementary School sought to determine the benefits of a blended learning approach to reading instruction, and to examine the relationship between use of Lexia Reading Core5 and gains on DIBELS Next, a commonly used reading assessment.
The pilot program entailed the use of Lexia Reading Core5 in conjunction with the school's existing curriculum for English Language Arts, Houghton Mifflin Reading (Medallion Edition). Second-grade classrooms were randomly assigned as intervention (Core5) and control (non-Core5) groups. There were 49 Core5 students and 25 non-Core5 students. All students received the same amount of overall reading instruction and intervention time (120 minutes and 30 minutes, respectively). Using Lexia Reading Core5, students completed activities focusing on the five main areas of reading instruction, developing skills such as initial/final consonants discrimination, silent-e word construction, categorizing, idioms, and reading comprehension. Students worked independently in the online program, and teachers used real-time reports and instructional materials to provide face-to-face intervention and address skill gaps as they emerged.
At the start of the pilot program, 16% of the second grade students were working on grade-level skills in Lexia Reading Core5. By May, after 16 weeks of using Lexia Reading Core5, 69% were working on grade-level skills or had reached benchmark. In addition, students using Lexia Reading Core5 had higher average percent growth on DIBELS Next with 25% growth compared to 6% growth for the non-Core5 students.


Sexual harassment or sexual assault can happen to anyone at anytime, anywhere: it does not discriminate. Whether you are working in fast foods, sports, a medical practice, executive office, modeling, acting, at church, a police station … it can happen anywhere, and it's been happening for as long as humans have been on this planet. To say it's only human nature would not be true—there are simply some people in this world who enjoy doing bad things and getting away with them. Hopefully, those days are going to be a thing of the past within our lifetime.
Although the problem is difficult to manage in an unstable environment, the workplace offers some stability to this problem because it has rules that must be obeyed, or you suffer the consequences. This is also true in general society, as a rule, but we all know how that goes. As an employer in today's world, it is more important than ever to have an employee handbook that clearly defines what is and what is not tolerated at work, and what actions will be taken for each infraction. It is up to the employer to provide rules and to also provide training on the subject. This is generally handled by Human Resources where managers and professionals are up-to-date on local state and federal laws regarding all work-related issues.
While on the job training ensures that employees must acknowledge they have watched a video or attended classes on the subject of sexual harassment, a good HR department should also allow other means of support or counseling and protection for whistle blowers at work. It is hard to believe that nearly all sexual harassment cases at work will go unreported due to fear, shame or embarrassment. The first line of defense is to simply speak up, but most women, or men, won't. An HR department is open to any and all complaints from employees and should encourage employees to speak up. Just think of how this would dramatically cut down on turnover at work.
The number one reason for not reporting an incident at work is fear of retribution. How do you get your employees to communicate with you? Make sure your HR department is one hundred percent accessible to listening to employees' complaints while keeping them anonymous (if that is what they want).Also, there is currently an AI app available called "Talk to Spot" that works as a third-party entity where employees can report incidents directly to HR using their name or communicating with them anonymously (however, in most cases it eventually has to be revealed to complete an investigation. An employee can't be interviewed and/or punished for an action that they don't have the right to defend themselves against.) The app also keeps a record of all communication regarding the incident. It is a relatively new app and can become invaluable to any HR department or company.
The Human Resource department's job is not only to protect the company, but it's there to protect employee rights as well. Having an open-door policy where employees feel safe enough to report sexual harassment or assault is vital to a successful company. If your company does not have an HR department, Stellaris Group is a full-service Human Resources company in Marietta, Georgia. Their team of HR consultants is more than capable of helping you to create the right culture by providing the proper training and guidance to keep your workplace a happy, safe and successful one.
Dawn is the owner of the Stellaris Group. Stellaris Group affords all of the knowledge, skill & value added dedication of an on staff HR dept within a fee structure targeted to bring affordable solutions. The experience of an HR executive without the traditional salary.

I fear I'm on an astronomy jag this month. Writing about Mina Fleming and the Henry Draper star catalogue set me thinking about the concept of stellar magnitude. One of the 'facts' that I could dredge up from my expensive education (I used to know the names of all the bright stars in Ursa Major (aka The Plough, the Big Dipper), was that the constellation Pleiades (M45) served, in ancient times, as a test for how good your eyesight was. If you could clearly see seven sisters in the cluster, then you could apply for the post of lookout on the Argo and get to touch the Golden Fleece. I could only count 6 and my eyesight was really good up until I was about 40. That disconnect was explained by somebody saying that, in the 2500 years since Socrates last sat down to dinner, the brightness of some of those stars had undergone a perceptible change. But it could be that I was just too lazy-arsed to actually look with care and attention at the cluster to see what I could resolve. Michael Mästlin (1550-1631), Kepler's mentor, for one example, had accurately drawn 11 stars in the cluster before telescopes were available to enhance the eye.
Then I found a nice Pleiades page put together by Steven Gibson from the amazing Arecibo radio telescope (pictured) in Puerto Rico. Turns out that I could only see five of the Pleiades because the cluster includes their parents Pleione and Atlas. Atlas was too faint for me, as were Asterope and Celaene. On the other hand, Alcyone, Maia, Taygeta, Electra and Merope (and their mum Pleione) were and are up there off the right shoulder of Orion. In mythology he was/is pursuing them across the sky. Other (minority) versions of the story gives different names: Maia, Coccymo, Glaucia, Protis, Parthenia, Stonychia, and Lampado. But that's highly parochial detail; most cultures had a name for this distinctive cluster of stars. In Japan they were known as Subaru and six of them appear in the logo of the car company.
As long ago as 1767, John Mitchell in "An Inquiry into the probable Parallax, and Magnitude, of the Fixed Stars, from the Quantity of Light which they afford us, and the particular Circumstances of their Situation" calculated that it was vanishingly unlikely that so many bright stars should be apparently in the same section of the sky without being actually in the same section of the three-dimensional Universe. And modern astronomers agree that the Pleiades are physically close (radius 8 light years) to each other, in the sense that we are physically close to Alpha Centauri which is 4 light years away. And also close to us at about 440 lty distance. In other words, distance is relative.
The Pleiades are nothing to do with the Seven Sisters district in North Central London - they were seven elm Ulmus procera trees planted in a circle on a patch of green in what is now part of Haringey. The elms, along with all the mature elms of Europe are long dead and have been recently replaced with a little ring of hornbeams Carpinus betulus. Long may they flourish.
