Thank you! Charlie will be in touch with you as soon as possible!
Due to a fantastic year of growth and increases in flower costs we no longer take on events or weddings that are under £1,000 minimum budget.
Charlie Banks is a freelance florist in Warrington, Cheshire who works on wedding flowers, funeral flowers, events and corporate clients and also provides workshops for private parties and the community.
Charlie started out as a florist by helping out a friend with her wedding flowers in 2013, and from there it's grown year after year.
Having been slightly terrified of florist shops in the past, Charlie decided that one of the most important aspects she wanted do is to take the time to speak with her customers, some situations call for sensitivity and just listening to her customers requests.
After running her own florist shop, having two small children and two dogs, Charlie knows how hard it can be to take the time to sit down with brides or the bereaved, so now having made the decision to be a freelance florist, she is able to visit people at home and outside of normal working hours.
Charlie believes that you should have a personal and bespoke service with a trustworthy and honest florist.

Flexible working a barrier to career progression for both men and women
Monday 2 December 2019 PDF Print
December 2nd, 2019: A new survey from My Confidence Matters, in association with Capability Jane Recruitment, has highlighted that around a third of women and men felt a lack of flexible working has impacted their career to date, with 43% stating health and wellbeing as another key factor.
The research, which looked at career confidence and progression, found that, out of 2,500 respondents, 85% of female respondents wanted to reach a more senior position at work, but felt their progression (nearly 35%) had been impacted by a lack of flexible working.
However, these issues aren't just for women as 30% of men cited lack of flexible working, with more stating that personal relationships (37%), had impacted their career choices to date.
Caroline Doherty, Commercial Director, Capability Jane says: 'The need to work flexibly isn't a women-only issue. It's something that impacts all genders. We know that being able to work flexible hours improves health and wellbeing – we see the two as intrinsically linked – so it's little surprise these two factors were the main contributors to slowing down career progression.'
This isn't an issue connected to a specific age group or generation either. In fact, a staggering 54% of under 35s said health and wellbeing had impacted their career, with 36% saying a lack of flexibility. A significant indicator that younger people are very much moving away from the traditional 9-5.
Joy Burnford, My Confidence Matters, says: 'For those women who are unable to work flexibly, while juggling life and family, it's little surprise they feel uncertain about progressing their careers. The fact that men also have concerns around how promotion would impact their work-life balance goes to show that this is an issue that needs to be addressed.'
These figures were taken from the report, 'Getting to Equal: Career Confidence and the Path to Leadership.' You can download a copy here. https://www.myconfidencematters.com/research

Los Feliz Mansion
Designed by architect Harry E Weiner, this 1925 Los Angeles mansion was once owned by German silent film director/producer Frederic Zelnik. While Los Feliz Mansion may look like a thing of beauty, it bared witness to a tragedy.
On December 6, 1959, a Dr. Harold Perelson struck his wife Lillian with a ball-peen hammer, leaving her to drown in her own blood. Then proceeded to his teenage daughter Judye's room. He struck her in the head as well but in such a way she wasn't seriously injured. She managed to flee and call for help. Her two siblings were left unharmed. By the time police and an ambulance arrived, Dr Perelson was dead, committing suicide after swallowing pills. Supposedly, he had attempted suicide several times before but was stopped by his wife. The reason behind the murder-suicide is unknown. However, some believe it may have been because of financial troubles.
Since then, the house has changed owners a few times, but no one has really lived in it. Well...until now…


As we increasingly find ourselves feeling time poor, with not enough hours in the day to get everything done, virtual concierges are popping up to help with everything from gift shopping to finding a new outfit for a holiday party. These stylist-driven services will even select outfits to wear on a regular basis, eliminating trips to the mall or hours spent clicking through e-commerce sites.
Clothing subscription services are popping up online, including Alberta's Frock Box– which includes Canadian designers in its deliveries – and New York's Dailylook. These companies periodically send subscribers a complete outfit based on their style profile, and anything users don't want to keep is returned free of charge, offering both a wardrobe surprise and freeing up time that would otherwise be spent shopping.
Based in Toronto, Handled is a new online personal shopping site that offers purchasing, delivery, returns and alterations for clothing, accessories and gifts. A former executive in the tech industry, CEO Shira Yoskovitch founded Handled in June to address the gap between the retail and the concierge markets. "Handled is really a company that's born, frankly, out of my own experience and out of the experience of my friends of just going, 'I'm trying to take care of my job, I'm trying to take care of my life, I'm trying to take care of family and I don't have five minutes to get all this done,'" she says. Yoskovitch describes Handled as a way to outsource your personal life. "The busier I would get, the longer my to-do list would get and the less able I was to find people to not only help me, but get it done how I would."
Handled promises to help with those to-do list items, like picking up turtlenecks for a child's skiing trip, and goes beyond to get to know the lifestyles and preferences of their clients. "Handlers" will complete wardrobe consultations, including purging, decluttering and evaluating what works and what doesn't, and styling services. "It's about giving folks access to things that maybe they didn't know that they could ask for," says Yoskovitch, adding that building a relationship is a key component of her business model. As for fees, Handled charges 20 per cent of the value of items purchased, a number that decreases with a higher frequency of orders. "This is about having a service that people can access to take pain out of their day."
For 2018, Handled is expanding into travel concierge services as well as working on artificial intelligence and virtual reality capabilities for its website. For now, Yoskovitch and her team are gearing up for the madness of the holiday season. "We all have those days when you just need someone to help you and be in your corner," says Yoskovitch. "Then you can focus on the stuff that makes you happy."
Illustrator and Globe Style contributor Alanna Cavanagh is showing her work at Toronto's Jet Fuel Café. On until the end of November. Go Big or Go Home showcases her colourful illustrations of fashionable items. For more information, visit www.alannacavanagh.com.
The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts has announced that it is producing the first ever exhibition on French designer Thierry Mugler. Opening in 2019, the retrospective will include more than 130 of his outfits, examining his work as a couturier, director, photographer and perfumer. For more information, visit www.mbam.qc.ca.
Two new labels have launched this week. Toronto jeweller Myles Mindham has created an array of everyday wear jewellery pieces that will be available at Hazelton by Mindham Fine Jewellery, a pop-up boutique in Yorkville Village open until Dec. 24. And online shopping site Mr Porter has debuted its own in-house label, Mr P. Focusing on core styles, the line will also offer limited-edition capsule colletions each year.

On Tuesday, Bronxville looked like a rejuvenated squad.
The Broncos, the top seed in this year's tournament, took another step towards re-claiming the championship with a convincing 4-1 win over ninth-seeded Briarcliff.
"We didn't want to overlook any teams, but we also want to stay confident because we know we're going to play a strong game," said senior midfielder Mason Warble. "We worked together really well, we just meshed well today. We were working really hard."
CLASS AA QUARTERFINAL: Mahopac advances to semifinals on penalty kicks
CLASS AA QUARTERFINAL: Suffern tops Clarkstown South 2-0
SCOREBOARD: Quarterfinals results and stats
Coincidentally, the last time Bronxville played Briarcliff was in the 2014 sectional final, or when the Broncos won their last Section 1 title.
"Knowing how strong they are as a team, we knew we had to go out there and play hard; we did that today," said Bronxville midfielder Rachael Peacock, who scored her team's third goal in the 28th minute on a high-arching shot from outside the box.. "We're going to try to keep going, keep moving. There's still more to come, nothing is guarenteed and we can't take anything for granted."
With Bronxville also hosting a sectional field hockey game, both the Broncos and Briarcliff got to play hooky to make the 1:30 p.m. start time.
"It was weird, but it was fun. I like getting out of school early and getting to play the game," Peacock said "We got the result we wanted."
Briarcliff, a traditional Class B power in the area that won three consecutive state titles from 2007 to 2009, will graduate five players from this year's team.
The Bears got a glimpse of the future with under two minutes left, when freshman Maya Celaj scored to spoil Bronxville's shutout.
"We didn't get our win today, but I'm really proud of all the girls. Bronxville's a really good team; I'm happy for them but it would have been nice to get the win," said senior captain Amelia Leahy. "We had a pretty young team this year and we have a lot of upcoming juniors for next year. They'll do well."
Player of the game: Mason Warble, Bronxville. While she is committed to play lacrosse at Brown, Warble showed her soccer skills on the pitch by controlling the pace of the game at the midfield. Her pass accross the box to Catherine Faville put Bronxville up 2-0 in the 16th minute. Warble even got on the scoresheet herself, scoring on an individual effort in the 76th minute.
Turning point: In the 13th minute, Bronxville's Gabriella Amboss fired a long ball into the box right at Briarcliff goalkeeper Emily Smoler. The freshman bobbled the ball and then tipped it across the goal line for the game's opening score.
Quotable: "We want to start a new streak of sectional titles, so that's in the back of our minds at the start of every game," Warble said of last year's semifinal loss to Albertus Magnus. "We want to win for our program, we want to get back to the finals and win."

The concept of an "Invisible Cinema" first emerged in conversations between Peter Kubelka and architects Johannes Spalt and Friedrich Kurrent around 1958, before the founding of the Austrian Film Museum. The cinema was envisaged as a machine that serves as a relay between director and audience, with an architectural space that is completely focused on the image and sound of the film. "All the elements of the cinema are black: the rugs, the seats, the walls, the ceiling. Seat hoods and the elevation of the rows protect one's view of the screen from interception by the heads of viewers in front. Blinders eliminate the possibility of distractions from the side. We call it The Invisible Cinema." (manifesto quoted from Karsten Witte's collection Theorie des Kinos).
The "Invisible Cinema" at the Anthology Film Archives
After all initial attempts to realize his design in Vienna failed, Kubelka changed location. In December 1970, the first Invisible Cinema based on his concept opened in New York at the original Anthology Film Archives, which was situated at 425 Lafayette Street in downtown Manhattan until 1974.
The first Invisible Cinema in Vienna
It wasn't until 1989, on the 25th anniversary of the Austrian Film Museum in Vienna, that a modified version of the original idea was set up in the film auditorium of the Albertina. Though the construction of the auditorium, built in the post-war period and used by the Film Museum since 1965, remained unchanged, it was now redesigned and became the "black cinema." Harry Tomicek wrote about the opening: "During the past summer months, the auditorium of the Albertina has been transformed into a completely black-in-black space where the only light source is the screen illuminated by the beam of the film projector, i.e., the film itself. The conversion of the auditorium makes the 'Invisible Cinema' the only cinema in the world to remain shadowed to the point of invisibility and utterly removed from our perception while we see films. Similarly, in remaining invisible, this architectural space grants us a maximum of concentration and pleasurable immersion in what becomes visible and audible within it: a suggested world made of image and sound known as film." (Neue Zürcher Zeitung)
The Invisible Cinema 3
The passionate cinema-goer Ilse Aichinger, who had mocked the "mortifications" in the Austrian Film Museum in her writings, and wrote about the uncomfortable wooden chairs as late as 2001: "They won't change the seats there until kingdom come," could rejoice in 2003. In consultation with Peter Kubelka, Friedrich Mascher and Erich Steinmayr realized the "Invisible Cinema 3" at the same location, now significantly renovated and expanded, with new seating and improved possibilities for image and sound reproduction. It opened on October 3, 2003, and now welcomes 165 visitors.

Official Spalding National League (Frick) baseball signed in various inks on the sweet spot and side panels by 13 early Hall of Famers: Cy Young, Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby (ss), Jimmie Foxx, George Sisler, Ed Walsh, Mel Ott, Tris Speaker, Pie Traynor, Charles 'Kid' Nichols, Fred Clarke, Charles Gehringer, and Mickey Cochrane. Annotated in an unknown hand in black ink between the Ott and Hornsby signatures, "1951" and "75 Anniv. of Baseball," perhaps an indication of when it was signed. In very good to fine condition, with light overall toning, and some fading and slight blurring to some of the signatures. A marvelous, rarely seen combination of early baseball greats. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from PSA/DNA.

Thoughts of Wisdom
on life, love, the universe, and more...
Towers of Strength
Outside my room, the Twin Towers stands majestically in the distance, gleaming against the painted night of the sky. All around, scores of others compete for attention, shining forth their lights and colours. Theirs is a futile effort; the UMNO building, with its red neon-like signs, spells hope and despair (sometimes both at the same time), while distance favoured the Matrade building this time. Unfortunately, it did nothing to hide its troubled past, the monolith looking every inch the complete, total and utter waste of money it has been, is and will continue to be.
The Twin Towers has become synonymous with Malaysia, a steel structure that has imposed its own influence on the Kuala Lumpur skyline. Not many mainstream and commercial films go by without at least silently crediting it as a cameo actor. Some would say that its acting is terrible, but to compare it to wood might, in itself, be insulting to the trees of the world.
What I want to talk about is the meaning of the Twin Towers. It has stood there for a fairly long time, but what does it really mean and signify?
I ask this, because in part of the justification of another mega-tower, Menara Warisan, is the reasoning that it would give us a new, and more advanced image. Do they not learn of the counting of chickens before the egg is hatched? Image comes from reality, not the other way around. A well is nothing without its water, because beyond that it is nothing more than a hole made up of a bunch of rocks. The water is the substance, the very reality that sustains the community around it. Empty structures are not what we need, but nevertheless, there is a need, I feel, to consider the desirable that beyond reality. In this case, the style over substance. We have the Twin Towers, but what does it mean in terms of image and perception…?
"I don't think it is important," a friend of mine retorted. "I mean, what does it mean if we have nice buildings when other things are not well-tended to? It won't matter if we don't have a sound education system." Typical. That annoys me, that, when people avoid the question and give a different answer, especially if they are delivered like jewels of wisdom never thought of before. I asked for what is, I get a what if.
Is he wrong? Perhaps not, but we're still at square one. The question crossed my mind not just because it is something I see every day when I go to sleep and when I wake up, but partly because I wasn't around when it was built. The announcement of its building and the actual building process took place in my absence; its presence there was somewhat shocking when I laid eyes on it for the first time. I had known of it, of course, but just to see it with my own eyes for the first time was still something to behold.
Even stranger is the fact that no matter how many times I have seen it, it still doesn't seem that tall. Even when it was officially the tallest office building in the world, as I stand there and aim my gaze at the very tips, it never did strike me as being that momentous, in terms of its size. What kind of image does it project when I myself don't think all that highly (pun not consciously intended) of it?
I mention this because I am sure that there were people around back then who had protested it. I'm positive that many others, in addition to my friend, considered it a waste of money when other things could have been improved upon. Now nobody really says anything, beyond the few murmurs here and there. They look and think of what could have been. Perhaps the same fate would befall upon the much maligned Menara Warisan as well, a seemingly unnecessary venture at a time when it seems like the price of oil is being increased every other month.
There is no answer here that I can give you, for what's mine is the result of my own journey. I do hope, however, that the time will come when people will truly analyse and consider the meaning of that which is actually in front of them, that which is done, rather than the lack.
What is, instead of what if…
To be honest I am pretty frustrating to see how some of us, especially those higher-ups who have good educational background coming from various good schools across the globe, still see skyscrapers as a measurement of well-civilized society. By right they should realize that human capital development is something which is more crucial to look at as compared to those skyscrapers. There are still a lot of isolated rural area kids that are not given the equal opportunity to get what kids in the urban area get. Not to mention the poor facilities that the rakyat will still have to suffer on a daily basis. It is not that I am not being grateful or what, but considering that the government has quite a 'considerable' amount of money, why don't you spend it on us instead? After all, it is the taxpayers', so please spend it wisely and listen to their outrage. And also please improve our public transports which are not efficient enough. Other than that, government should also look at more on how to overcome moral decay among youngsters which may spread like cancer if early treatment is not taken care of. Phew, I do whine a lot. Haha. (Will things eventually change? I hope so).
The world is a sum that is greater than its parts. We know that. But no matter how hard we try, we can only see the world through the part that is ours, our eyes a window to the world. This is my window, my thoughts, my wisdom. This is my part.

GSD Talks: Xiangning Li
April/21,/2016
Gund Hall, 112 Stubbins
View all GSD Talks events
Xiangning Li, deputy dean and professor of history, theory and criticism at Tongji University College of Architecture and Urban Planning, will discuss contemporary Chinese architecture in terms of its increasing focus on interior space and matter and the return of "memory." Can these be understood as critiques of the "iconic turn" the country's architecture has suffered in recent decades? Is this reaction an antidote to the Western corporate/formalist "virus"? Could it be an interesting argument opposing any conservative response to the internal aim for a "normal" architecture?
Xiangning Li has lectured widely on contemporary Chinese architecture and urbanism and published on these topics in international architecture journals. He has been a visiting scholar at MIT, a fellow at MAK Center of Art and Architecture in Los Angeles, and a visiting professor at TU Darmstadt; and he has curated the Chengdu and Shenzhen Biennale exhibitions, among various distinctions.
Innovation is not only a scientific issue, it demands the architect's opportunistic gaze and design skills; it happens at multiple scales, frequently crisscrossing disciplinary boundaries and occasionally changing our cities, cultures, and lives. "Innovate" is a mid-day talk series curated by Iñaki Ábalos, chair of the Department of Architecture, featuring a brief presentation followed by a discussion facilitated by faculty and by thesis, PhD, and DDes students.

Between August 29 and September 1, 2016, Typhoon Lionrock poured a foot of rain onto parts of North Korea causing widespread flooding, the most severe being in the Tumen River which marks, with the Yalu River, the boundary between China and North Korea. According to aid workers from the Red Cross as many as 100,000 people are homeless and 140,000 are in need of disaster relief while 133 people have died and 395 are missing overall. Temperatures in North Korea drop well below zero Fahrenheit in a much of the northern regions in a few months and so the exposure to extreme cold is a high risk. The flooding also destroyed 40,000 acres of agricultural land which will affect food security in the area since the crop is usually harvested in late September and October. The North Korea political prison camps which hold more than 100,000 people may be flooded which puts the prisoners at severe risk, since they cannot leave their camps for higher ground. And because the prisoners are in the lowest class in the North Korean caste system, they will get no disaster relief unless the international agencies insist on it.
Over the past two decades aid agencies have recorded epidemics of typhoid and paratyphoid, which are highly contagious and can be spread through untreated water.
In an unusual move, the North Korean government appealed for international assistance for the victims of the floods, which they claim are the worst since 1945. Water borne diseases have been an ongoing problem in North Korea since the government has seldom purchased enough chlorine to treat the urban water supplies across the country. Flooding also caused widespread damage to water pumping and treatment plants, rendering wells unusable, and shut down the water supply for nearly 600,000 people. Over the past two decades aid agencies have recorded epidemics of typhoid and paratyphoid which are highly contagious and can be spread through untreated water. The most recent epidemic of these diseases was in Pyongyang in 2011, affecting one in two households and causing mass panic. Aid agencies and donor governments have provided 12 million metric tons of food aid to North Korea since 1995, but very limited assistance to health programs which are the form of aid least able to be stolen or diverted by the power elites in the country and may be more important in some ways than food aid.
Floods are not new to North Korea, its having sustained severe flooding in 1995, 2007, 2013 and 2015. The Pyongyang government blamed the flooding of 1995 for the famine which ravaged the country between 1994 and 1998 killing at least 2.5 million people according to Hwang Jang-yop (the North Korean Politburo member who defected to South Korea in 1997). At the time the United Nations estimated that no more than 20 percent of the food deficit of the country was responsible for the famine, but the government has blamed the weather rather than their policies for their people's suffering.
The severity of the flooding has increased each time because of the widespread deforestation of the mountainous regions of the country driven by the collapse of the North Korean economy in the 1990's. Hungry people denuded the mountain sides of trees for firewood, to clear land to plant crops (a counter-productive agricultural practice), and to trade timber they cut for food across the border with Chinese merchants. With each successive rainstorm, topsoil, with no trees to hold it to the mountain sides, has slid into the rivers raising the river bed so high they hold less and less water each year. If one looks at this flooding in isolation it appears to be part of a historic pattern of natural disasters.
Satellite photographs taken by Beyond Parallel in mid-September of the flooded area do not show any aid or reconstruction efforts in two cities—Musan and Hoeryong—but, there may be some indications that construction started later. The North Korean government has claimed that resources are being mobilized to help the flood victims and disaster relief efforts are underway.
Nonetheless, many of the flood victims may still have to fend for themselves this winter. Something more could also be going on here that explains why Pyongyang has taken the unusual decision to appeal for disaster assistance from its enemies (much of the outside world). The floods represent a risk to the Pyongyang regime because the absence of an aggressive response by the central government could raise the anger level of North Korean citizens against their own government. How do we know that public anger is rising against Pyongyang?
CSIS conducted the first public opinion survey through Beyond Parallel inside North Korea (all other surveys have been of defectors which may have skewed the results) and the results were instructive. The people surveyed show growing anger and bitterness toward the central government's ongoing suppression or restrictions on market activities, which families rely on to feed themselves after the Public Distribution System collapsed in the 1990's (except for Pyongyang and the party elite, which continued to get food rations). Defector and other surveys have shown that a declining portion of the North Korean people get significant food rations from the Public Distribution System. One person interviewed by Beyond Parallel said "no one looks after regular citizens in their daily lives" and another complained about people "going to prison for the crime of selling things on the black market". Some argue the continuing failure of the central government to care for their own people has been mitigated by international aid efforts which make up for the government's incompetence, but an international bailout this time appears unlikely.
International donations to NGOs, the Red Cross, and UN agencies attempting to respond to the flood disaster have received funding to meet only 11 percent of the assessed needs. The anemic response to these appeals results from two factors: fatigue by donors which have been providing disaster assistance to North Korea intermittently since 1995; and the North Korean government's decision to direct their limited resources to the development of nuclear weapons and long range missiles instead of supporting the human needs of their own people, which unmet are life-threatening. The question remains open as to whether the North Korean people are connecting their government's diversion of the nation's limited financial resources to weapons of mass destruction with difficulties in feeding their families, getting minimal health care, accessing clean water, and heating their homes. If they make that connection, the growing anger of the public could mutate into rage, and Pyongyang could face political unrest. One major shock that hits enough people across the country could be the precipitating event that starts a chain reaction and that brings down the government. These floods do not appear widespread enough to be that shock this time, but some other shock in the future could be. Only time will tell.

Awhile ago, I drove a friend up into Ohio to swap some camera equipment and I was gifted this really exceptional Canonet rangefinder. It's in superb shape and has been quality refurbished by someone reputable in Chicago. Small but with the feel of solid metal, it sits well in the hands and makes you want to go out street shooting. I wonder how successful a company would be if they took this very same body and put a full frame sensor in it but yet kept all the controls as simple as possible with few bells and whistles.

Everglades Holiday Park Review by Krystal Deblasio | Everglades Holiday Park Home of the Gator Boys Review!
As soon as I found out about Everglades Holiday Park, I couldn't wait to go. I used to watch the show Gator Boys on Animal Planet all the time, and Everglades Holiday Park is where their alligator rescue is located and is also where they shoot most of their shows. When you visit there is a good chance you might see the Gator Boys filming or you might get to meet one of the stars of the show.
Me and my boyfriend ended up going there yesterday around 1pm. When we first arrived the scenery was very pretty, there were peacocks hanging around the entrance. We went into the gift shop to the ticket counter to get are tickets. The line was all the way to the door. It seems like the park is always very busy.
After we got our tickets, we went outside and waited in another line to go on an air boat. They took our picture in front of the air boat, which was available to purchase after the boat ride.
I had never been on an air boat before. I was expecting it to be fast, but it actually wasn't fast at all. Most of the time we would go slowly to look at scenery and then we would speed up a little. Rather than an exciting ride, it ended up being a very relaxing experience.
We stopped to look at some birds. The birds were very friendly, they flew right up to the boat. The captain even gave some of the passengers bread to feed the birds, and they came up and took the bread right out of their hands.
We eventually ran into a few alligators. The gators surprisingly didn't seem to be afraid of the boat at all. They actually swam toward us, and were in petting distance from the boat (although I wouldn't attempt that!).
I read some reviews saying that the employees were constantly begging for tips, but that couldn't be any further from the truth. The captain of the boat only mentioned very briefly at the end of the boat ride that tips were appreciated and that they work off of tips.
After the boat ride, it was time to wait in another line for the gator show. The gator show was hosted by Mike. I haven't seen the tv show Gator Boys in awhile, but apparently Mike does appear on the tv show sometimes. The gator show was rather quick, but entertaining. He did a few tricks with the gator, the one in the picture above is called the Face Off.
After the show ended they brought out a little alligator and they let people take pictures holding him for a $5 donation. I was going to donate anyway, so I decided what the heck, and I held the baby gator. This little guy was so cute. He definitely felt different that I would have imagined. Very squishy!
Overall, I think Everglades Holiday Park was a great way to spend a sunny afternoon. If you are visiting or new to the area, I definitely recommend going here at least once. If you are a fan of the show Gator Boys, then this is definitely something you should put on your to-do list.


PROPERTY IS SOLD! Located in northern Hocking County with easy access to SR 33 this income producing 35.898 acres offers many possibilities. A secluded 3 acre meadow would be the perfect setting to build your dream home or getaway cabin. The property has a cell tower lease in effect, which produces $500 per month and could help pay for the purchase. From all the animal tracks in the snow, it was clear there was no shortage of wildlife roaming the land for the avid hunters or nature lovers. The topography ranges from flat ridge tops, valleys, hillsides and a creek bottom with a few sandstone rock formations. Last year a light select harvest of some hardwood timber was performed with many bigger trees remaining. This is a great location for Hocking County with close proximity to all the local attractions the area is known for. Included in the purchase is a newer survey and all of seller's interest in the mineral rights. Real estate taxes are approximately $1036 per year. Private showing only.


Getting children to clean up in a preschool or child care setting can be tough. Check out these 5 creative ways to get young children to clean up.
Mystery Clean-Up: Before beginning clean-up time, look around the room and pick out an item that needs to be put away. Announce to the children that you have chosen a mystery item and that whoever puts it away will win a prize. When the room is cleaned up, announce the winner.
Tong Challenge: Give each child a pair of tongs and challenge them to pick up toys, using the tongs, and put them away.
Color Call-Out: Call out a color and let the children find a toy that has that color in it to put away. Continue until all toys are put away.
Clean-Up Train: Start a train and walk around the room to the first area that is cleaned up, picking up the kids in that area. Keep the train going around the room until every area is cleaned up and all kids are part of the train.
Roll-A-Die Clean-Up: Roll a die and have each child put away the number of toys on the die (i.e. Roll a 2, and each child puts 2 toys away). Continue until all toys are put away.


Today was maybe the most exciting day ever! All the homestay families dropped the kids off at the mall where a giant yellow school bus was waiting to carry everyone off to the camp site which is 45 minutes away. Everyone had a chance to meet a new friend by sitting next to someone who was not from the same delegation.
When all the delegates arrived to camp it was pure joy! Everyone was so excited to be reunited with their leaders again and the leaders were so excited to see their delegates again and hear about their adventures at homestay.
First thing we did was meet our rooms mates! We made some place mats with our name as well as a picture of our "Flag, Family, Favorite Food and what we like to do for Fun! (Yep the 4 "F"'s) We will use the place mats at meals to allow a way to facilitate meeting new people and dining with people who might be from a different country or culture! What a great way to build global friendship. Below is a picture of each delegate with their room mate. How exciting!
Next we met our kitchen staff who prepared an amazing pasta and salad and cheese bread for dinner!
After dinner we did an activity about the Theme "Against the Flow" what does it mean? We talked about what the flow is in our country, if we thought it was good or frustrating and also examples of people who went against the flow to create social change. It's only the first day of camp and we have already learned so much and have seen so many great leadership abilities in our group. This will be an amazing Step Up.

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has today announced the nomination of President Tarja Halonen as an alternate Co-Chair of the High-level Advisory Group for Every Woman Every Child. The Group will be co-chaired By Ms. Michelle Bachelet, President of Chile and Mr. Hailemariam Dessalegn, Prime Minister of Ethiopia. The other alternate Co-Chair is Mr. Jakaya Mrisho Kikwete, former President of Tanzania.
The announced Chairs and other members of the Group will help provide leadership and inspire ambitious action for women's, children's and adolescents' health during the transition from the Millennium Development Goals to the universal Sustainable Development Goals agenda.
