How to Take Control of YOUR Mental Health
It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind.
Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself.
Here is the secret of being positive and free:
Thinking positively is not enough.
You also have to get rid of the negative thinking.
Your mind is like a garden.
You can plant many beautiful flowers in it, but if you don't get rid of the weeds when you plant your flowers, the weeds will soon take over the whole garden.
A positive thought is like a flower in your mental garden, and a negative thought is like a weed.
You cannot expect to have a positive mindset if you continue to have negative thoughts dwelling and growing there.
So, how do you get rid of the negative thoughts? That's what this Meetup is all about. Attend this local meeting and find out!
The Meetup event will be led by a consultant who had helped many people live happier in life.
Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there.
This group is created by the Dianetics & Scientology life improvement center.

Prairie PostgreSQL User Group: Proudly Sources at Midwest!
Dear Illinois Prairie PUG members,
Thank you to everyone who attended PG DATA 2026! The conference is over, but our meetups are back, and more Postgres content is coming!
Those of you who attended our May meetup are already familiar with our new (hopefully permanent) location. For others, please note that we will meet at **Chicago Innovations, 1 W. Monroe**.
This time, we are trying a two-talk format.
\- Zach Paden will present the talk **Declarative schema management with pgschema.**
\- Anna Bailliekove will present the talk **PostGIS Quick Start**
More details on talks and speakers coming soon!
*Agenda*
5:20 - doors open
5:30 - pizza arrives
6:00 - 6:10 - Hettie D. Opening remarks
6:10- 6:40 - Zach. Declarative schema management with pgschema.
6:45 - 7:10 Anna: PostGIS Quick Start
7:10 - 7:50 - Open discussion and networking
7:50 - 8:00 - Cleanup time and closing
**Speaker**: Zach Paden
Zach Paden is a tech lead at Symetra with experience ranging from scrappy startups, consulting, to large regulated enterprises. His work spans data platform, analytics and application development where he’s seen more than his fair share of projects get bogged down or catch on fire due to their schema management practices.
**Talk Title:** *Declarative schema management with pgschema*
**Talk description**
Lots of app devs struggle to understand the concept of versioning database migrations, and managing the history of these migrations can become difficult even with existing tools. Using pgschema you can write pure-sql decoratively and let pgschema derive a series of valid online migrations.
**Speaker:** Anna Bailliekova
Anna Bailliekova has been moving data around professionally for 15 years. Currently a staff engineer XeoMatrix, she focuses on helping organizations mature their data engineering practice, optimization problems, and geospatial data applications.
**Talk title:** PostGIS Quick Start
**Talk description**
PostgreSQL provides rich support for geospatial computing; using transportation examples, we will take a brief tour of these features for those who want to but have been scared to try.
*Notes about our new venue*.
I am delighted to have an independent venue for the first time since I am hosting the meetups. I hope that this will be our permanent home. And as you all know, with more freedom comes more responsibilities.
\- You will notice the change in the RSVP form\.
\- We are thankful to our hosts and promise to be responsible\.
\- We comply with the [PostgreSQL Code of Conduct](https://www.postgresql.org/about/policies/coc/).
\- We do not want to waste food\, so please indicate your dietary preferences\.
\- We will not close RSVPs on the morning of the meetup\, but please do your best to RSVP in advance so we can order the appropriate amount of food and drinks\.
\- We want to start offering **on-site daycare**. If you indicate on your RSVP that you are planning to use daycare, we will contact you closer to the event with more information.
This meetup will be hybrid - please don't forget to indicate whether you are attending in-person or virtually.
Thank you, and I look forward to seeing you all at our new location!
