Because a Sunday well spent brings a week of content
The weekend doesn't have to end first thing on a Sunday, in fact, it's one of our favourite days of the week, which is why we've uncovered some of the best things to do in London on a Sunday.
So if you're looking to add more to your to-do list than cosying up with Netflix or carrying out your weekly food shop, then our guide to the capital can help to ease those back to work blues.
If food is your thing, then book in for dinner and a movie night at the Ivy Garden in Chelsea, take a stroll down Maltby Street Market and dine on Dim Sum at Hakkasan Hanway Place.
To make the most of the great outdoors, jump on a barge and sail down Regent's Canal, take your favourite book up to Primrose Hill or join the Inner London Ramblers for creative new walks around the city,
You've just gained a whole extra day to your weekend.
Home to Little Bird Gin, the seriously cool Lassco, which houses beautiful reclaimed furniture and a seasonal dining room and a whole array of delicious street food stalls.
Expect to dine on the likes of waffles topped with fried chicken, pulled pork buns and the best fish finger sandwiches you'll ever eat.
Spend a lazy weekend listening to music by one of the UK's most promising operatic talents from the London opera scene at the iconic Royal Albert Hall. The tunes will be accompanied by delicious treats in the Hall's beautiful Verdi restaurant, from homemade scones with clotted cream and strawberry jam to cakes and sandwiches. It promises to be an afternoon of indulgent treats and acoustic delights, we like to follow ours with a meander up to Hyde Park afterwards to feed the ducks and take in the greenery. Afternoon tea services runs from 2.00pm – 4:30pm and tickets can bought for £30 per person or £40 per person for the champagne afternoon tea. Tickets can booked via the Royal Albert Hall website.
Lie in a little and then treat yourself to a long, slow morning in a coffee shop. Take a good book or even better company and indulge in the Scandi tradition of Fika.
Nibble on a cinnamon bun (or two) as you sip the specialty filter coffee of the day and don't forget to pick up a bag of beans to take home. Try the Nordic bakery for their authentic Scandi bakes, Gail's for their sinfully sweet buns or Workshop for their unrivaled coffee.
One of the best ways to get to know the city is by walking it. And thanks to Innder London Ramblers, you can embark on urban hikes with the likes of the Metropolitan Walkers, Captial Walkers and London Strollers of up to 10 miles.
Sister restaurant to iconic London venue The Ivy, Le Caprice is deserved of a visit on any day of the week owing to its characteristically refined atmosphere and impressive menu, teeming with European classics.
But on the last Sunday of every month, there's an extra reason to head to St James's - their outrageously popular Jazz Sessions, starring some of the most talented jazz artists in the world. From Miss 600 to James Tormé and Anoushka Lucas, a bevy of well known jazz artists play to a discerning crowd as they enjoy a seasonal menu from Head Chef Andrew Mclay and an array of Martell cocktails. The ideal way to settle into Sunday evening and stave off the Monday blues.
Dinner and performances at 7pm and 9.15pm. Pre-booking essential; no charge for the jazz. Le Caprice, Arlington Street, London, SW1A 1RJ. 02076292239
One of the West End's most famous Michelin starred restaurants, Hakkasan Hanway Place celebrates an ancient Chinese culinary ritual with its legendary Dim Sum Sundays. An inventive alternative to the traditional Sunday roast, the weekly event encourages guests to gather together, celebrating rest and conversation while providing some seriously special sustenance.
The extensive menu's highlights include a moreish crispy duck salad, Chinese chive dumplings with prawns and crabmeat, crispy smoked duck and pumpkin puffs and grilled Chilean sea bass.
£58 per person. 8 Hanway Place, London, W1T 1HD
If you're looking for something to do with a group of friends or family this Sunday then check out, Central London's newest hotspot, The Coral Room at the Bloomsbury Hotel. To celebrate Summer they've just launched an exclusive English Sparkling Wine tastings on their secret outdoor space – The Coral Garden.
The bar offers one of the most extensive English Sparkling Wine menus in the country, championing local English wine producers. During the tasting, you'll will learn about and sample six different sparkling wines, handpicked by the bars award-winning Master of Wine, Anne McHale.
The private tastings last 1.5 hours and then you can head inside to continue your Sunday in the beautiful Coral Room itself, complete with bespoke furniture, palm trees, Murano glass chandeliers and a collection of original pieces of art by British illustrator of the moment Luke Edward Hall.
English Sparkling Wine Flights in The Coral Garden can be booked for between 8 – 20 guests at £40.00 per person. For more information please visit: www.thecoralroom.co.uk and to book, please email: firstname.lastname@example.com.
The eerie finality of stuffy ancient mummies and creepy feats of taxidermy on display at this curious museum stand in stark contrast to its bustling aquarium, which houses rare creatures and bright coral from across the globe. Few other places can boast that they're home to such incongruous examples of life and death – the contrast is inspiring, unpredictable and utterly exhilarating.
Open from 8am until sunset, this charming Victorian relic is skirted by pretty grounds ideal for a picnic on a hazy summer afternoon. When you've had your fill of ancient African artefacts, antiquated musical instruments and extraordinary anthropological displays, grab a drink from the pretty cafe and retire to the garden for a moment of quiet reflection.
Sundays and Bank Holidays: 8am – sunset. Entrance to the Museum and Gardens is free. There's a charge for the Aquarium. 100 London Road, Forest Hill, SE23 3PQ. 020 8699 1872
A gathering of vintage traders and artisan food sellers have transformed this historic arcade into a hub of cutting-edge cookery and creativity, where tiny establishments with big names (try Honest Burgers and Agile Rabbit) mingle with fresh produce stalls.
Just a few minutes' walk from Brixton tube station, Brixton Village and its companion arcade Market Row house scores of shops and stalls offering world foods from 8am to 11.30pm every day. On a Sunday, you can sample delicacies from India, East Asia, Africa, South America or the Caribbean for brunch before heading over to Brixton Farmer's Market for colourful supper ingredients.
Every Sunday 10am - 2pm. For more information on Brixton Village, go to: Brixtonmarket.net
A favourite of model Kate Moss and the go-to vintage store for period dramas, including Brideshead Revisited, this charming shop in Islington's Camden Passage evokes the glamour of a bygone age.
Sheer, floaty, and ethereal, the 50s-style appliqué skirts and 30s day dresses are good value, but it's the flapper dresses that are the star attraction. With a great selection of accessories, too, including parasols, fur hats and shoes from the 1920s, it's a treasure trove of vintage clothes.
Annies, 12 Camden Passage, N1 8ED. 020 7359 0796
Ok it might be a little chilly at the moment, but come summer the last thing you'll want to do over the weekend is spend your time indoors. Instead, make for an open-air cinema. The Rooftop Film Club is one of our favourites, screening a variety of popular and classic films from Back to the Future to The Notebook.
So enjoy the comfy seats, wireless headphones and the city's skyline in all its glory at this all-round crowd pleasing spot. And if it rains (because let's face facts, the British summer is never conventional) don't panic – the show still goes on.
Tickets start from £14. Check the latest program and get more information at Rooftopfilmclub.com
Sigmund Freud arrived at a bourgeois North London townhouse shortly before the outbreak of the Second World War to live with his father. He brought with him what has become one of the most famous pieces of furniture on the planet - his psychoanalyst's couch, on which the 'talking cure' was invented.
A diverse collection of books and bric a brac also accompanied Freud, preserved as he arranged them in his study and library by his devoted daughter Anna following his death in 1939. Visitors can still wander amongst the art and literature that inspired his weird and wonderful theories, gaining a sense of his family history, ground-breaking achievements and charming personal taste.
20 Maresfield Gardens, NW3 5SX. 020 7435 2002. Adults: £6; senior citizens: £4.50; concessions: £3.00 (students with valid ID cards, children aged 12-16, UK unemployed persons - with proof, disabled persons); children under 12: free
One of London's most visually appealing markets, Columbia Road overflows with buckets of colourful and fragrant flowers every Sunday. Running from the crack of dawn until 2pm, give your garden some TLC with the vast selection of flowers, bulbs, herbs, shrubs and bedding plants on offer.
Alongside the Sunday market, this East London road is also a treasure trove of interiors shops, including Rob Ryan's Ryantown and Elphicks gallery, while it's also home to the bakery of cake-maker-to-the-stars Lily Vanilli.
Turn up as things start to wind down at around 2pm for the best bargains, or as early as humanly possible if you want to get the pick of the crop.
Sunday brunch is becoming an increasingly important date in our diary, and there really is no better way to start a lazy weekend. This warehouse-style cafe in Clerkenwell has become one of our favourite brunch spots with its Antipodean twist on the traditional English fry-up.
Fresh flavoured hearty dishes include baked organic eggs with red pepper, chorizo and tomato ragu and the much-lauded corn fritters with spinach, halloumi and poached eggs, alongside Mimosas and rich blends of coffee roasted on the premises.
Throw in the Sunday papers and a perch at a long sharing table overlooking St John's Square, and you've got one of the best places for brunch in London. The only downside is that you can't book, so queues are inevitable.
The Workshop, 27 Clerkenwell Road, EC1M 5RN. 0207 253 5754
Get in the saddle and explore the best of the capital's parks by paying Hyde Park Stables a visit. From first-time riders to experienced show-jumpers, there's a session for every skill set, and with five miles of bridleways and even pony riding for the little ones, it's a great way to explore one of the city's favourite summer spots.
After your ride, there's plenty to fill the remainder of your Sunday up, too. Picnic anyone?
For more information, go to: Hydeparkstables.com
Nothing beats a traditional London afternoon tea – and Claridge's offers one of the capital's best. Beautifully presented and with note-perfect service, there's a good selection of sandwiches, and the buttery apple and currant-studded scones served with Marco Polo jelly and Cornish clotted cream, and picture-perfect cakes are delicious. The extensive list of teas is impressive, too.
Classic afternoon tea at Claridge's – from £55 per person. Call 020 7107 8872 for reservations. (Or read our review of Claridge's)
While Sundays traditionally tend to revolve around ways to relax and unwind, it obviously never hurts to take advantage of the free time and use it to enrich your general knowledge. Whether you're interested in a particular topic or historical period, or just want to learn something new, The British Library has enough to keep your brain ticking.
If you're planning a visit with the children, then make sure you check out the permanent exhibition fixtures such as the 'treasures' of the British Library where you can spot some of the earliest and greatest works of English literature from Shakespeare to Alice in Wonderland.
To find out more and plan your trip to The British Library, go to: Bl.uk
A wonderful contrast to the manicured lawns and flowerbeds to be found elsewhere in the capital, Hampstead Heath feels delightfully rural, despite being in North London. The inspiration behind countless films, books and poems, and stretching across 791 acres of woodland, playing fields, and swimming ponds, it's the perfect place for a walk, whatever the season.
On a hot summer's day, try taking a refreshing dip in the Hampstead Ponds followed by a picnic, while children love the dizzying heights of Parliament Hill – perfect for flying kites. Stop off at The Bull and Last pub on Highgate Road to recuperate from your walk and tuck into a traditional Sunday lunch.
With hundreds of red and fallow deer roaming free across the park, get on your bike on a sunny Sunday afternoon and pedal across the beautiful 12-kilometre track.
Starting from the impressive country estate, Ham House, to Roehampton, make the most of the largest of the Royal Parks (which occupies some 2,500 acres) and get out and about.
Housed in the former Bankside Power Station and built by Swiss architects Herzog & De Meuron, if you're looking to get your weekend culture fix, then head to the Tate Modern. Overlooking St Paul's Cathedral, take in some contemporary art before strolling up the Thames towards Tower Bridge, stopping off at Jose's in Bermondsey Street for some of the best Spanish tapas to be had in London.
Serving up small plates of classic dishes such as tortilla, jamon iberico and patatas bravas, on wooden barrels and the pretty tiled bar, all washed down with a beyond-the-obvious list of sherries. It's the perfect spot to round off the weekend.
Serving up top-notch seasonal fare in a rustic egg shell-blue surrounding, this Islington gastro pub is really rather hard to beat. Winner of a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2010 and run by Nick Gibson and Ben Maschler (son of the restaurant critic Fay Maschler), the contemporary, daily-changing British menu features the likes of crispy lamb with mint sauce, beetroot and pearl barley risotto and black pudding with a fried duck egg.
With an impressive list of ales to choose from, it's the perfect spot to while away a Sunday afternoon with the papers.
The Drapers Arms; 44 Barnsbury Street, Islington. 020 7619 0348
With a host of tasty seasonal treats, locals and food-loving Londoners make a beeline for this weekend farmers' market in the heart of Marylebone Village to pick up a range of seasonal produce that you just won't find in the aisles of the supermarket. From a succulent mushroom sandwich from The Mushroom Tale and James Coe's outstanding beef and lamb, to un-jarred honey-on-the-comb and rich, fudgy chocolate brownie, this is a real weekly highlight for foodies. And when you're all shopped out, head over to the Nordic Bakery on New Cavendish Street and reward yourself with a sticky cinnamon bun.
Every Sunday 10am – 2pm. To find out more about Marylebone Farmers' Market, go to Lfm.org.uk
Opened in 1820 to provide a link between east and west London, Regent's Canal became a favourite scenic path in 1968 when it was opened to the public.
The London Waterbus Company, one of the original Regent's Canal Boat tour operators, offer a lingering journey across a picturesque route from Camden Lock to Little Venice, taking in stunning views of Regent's Park and even stopping inside London Zoo.
Trained guides will provide commentary along the way, explaining the canal's colourful history dating back to 1800. At just £11.30 per person for a return journey, it's a unique and affordable way to see the city from a new angle.
No booking required. Hourly service in summer, half hourly on peak days. Winter weekend service; Londonwaterbus.com
If you fancy yourself as the next Paul Hollywood, put your baking skills to the test with a bread making class at Hackney's E5 Bakehouse. Tucked away in the arches underneath London Fields station in East London, the Sunday classes will have you kneading and proving a pain de campagne, ciabatta, rye loaf, and bagels like a pro.
You'll even learn how to cultivate your own sourdough 'mother dough', some of which you can take away and try your hand at growing.
Courses run on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, prices from £120; E5bakehouse.com
Not just strawberries but a- whole- load- of- other- fruit- and- vegetable- picking. It just depends what's in season. So if you thought fruit & veg picking farms were a myth in London, think again. This farm is located just north of Enfield and has picnic and refreshment areas for you to enjoy the fruits of your labour.
Strawberry picking is a great option for spending some quality time with the kids while doing something different… and fun!
Primrose Hill is a breath of fresh air in notoriously congested and loud London. When you want to unwind on a Sunday with nothing but a good book and a blanket (that's what Sundays are for after all) then a visit to Primrose Hill is just the ticket.
Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the capital with spacious hilly grounds overlooking London, Primrose is a popular and unique spot in London. Check it out.
After a busy week/weekend you'll definitely be in need of some R&R come Sunday morning. A yoga session is ideal for recovering from the previous week, all the while preparing you for the week ahead.
Triyoga yoga caters to yogi's of all abilities and they have a wide array of class options available. With studios scattered around London in Chelsea, Covent Garden, Camden and Soho, there's really no excuse to not give it a try.
The entrance to ZSL London Zoo is conveniently part of Regent's Park, so you can enjoy the beautiful Regent's park too before your day cavorting around the animals.
A day out at the zoo is a childhood family day out MUST, but it's not exclusive to families. Penguins, hippos and tigers are for everyone.
The classic date night isn't just for loved up couples. Grab all your friends and head to the comfort of the Curzon in Chelsea for Sunday afternoon viewings of the month's best films, from the likes of Hail, Caesar! and High-Rise, in the surroundings of the old theatre.
While dinner afterwards is taken at The Ivy Chelsea Garden. Another member of London's iconic restaurant, The Ivy, this one comes with a picturesque garden, filled with a fire pit and a million twinkling fairy lights come night. Sip on a glass of fresh fizz, tuck into a shepherd's pie and make sure you order the truffle and parmesan fries as a side.
The Chelsea Sunday Lupper Club is £18.75, with dinner taken from 7pm onwards. For more information visit Theivychelseagarden.com.
Hailed as the 'new Bicester Village' and located in Homerton, Hackney, it's a million miles from the usual shopping districts of the West End. The fashion-savvy among you may have already heard of the Burberry, Aquascutum and Anya Hindmarch stores that have resided there for a few years now, but with the new additions of a huge Nike, Joseph, Gieves and Hawkes and MATCHESFASHION.COM last week; the retail strip has cemented it's place firmly on the fashion radar. For Matches Fashion, this is the first ever outlet version, with huge discounts on designer brands like Saint Laurent and Erdem.
Be sure to pop into Legs Restaurant across the road, founded by top chef Magnus Reid with an ever-changing seasonal menu. We recommend the French toast covered in berries and crème fraîche or the crumbed Burrata, topped off with a glass of their locally distilled Prosecco spritz.
Hackney Walk, Homerton, Hackney, E9

Pinhead Peak Trail is a 2.3 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near San Juan Capistrano, California that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Horses are also able to use this trail.

horseback riding

no dogs
Not my favorite hike, but it was really pretty. Very narrow trail with gazillions of foxtails. But, it's pretty good for beginners - nice graded trail, great views at the top. I suggest going early as there are very few places to sit and very little shade. Always bring water!
Not the most exciting trail, but it *is* beautiful. There is a large grass meadow at the beginning of the hike. You'll share the trail with horses. Lots of bees pollinating flowers - didn't get stung, but maybe not the best trail for those allergic. The climb is moderate and short. Lots of patches of dappled light so watch for snakes. Bathrooms, water and good parking at the trail head.

How to Start Your Own Cosmetics Line
Four Parts:Getting the Appropriate KnowledgeDeciding the Extent of Your Cosmetics LineSetting Up the BusinessPromoting the ProductsCommunity Q&A
So you really love the beauty industry. You also have an entrepreneurial kind of spirit. Combine these two passions, and you just might have a knack for starting your own cosmetics line!
Part 1
Getting the Appropriate Knowledge
1Understand how makeup works and what trends exist in makeup. If you really want to go into business selling cosmetics, you must be fully versed in the details of why and how makeup works. This goes well beyond just putting it onto your own face––it means truly understanding the chemistry behind makeup products, the methods for making the most of facial features and the ways in which cosmetics can be used to remedy specific problems, from dandruff to skin breakouts. Some methods for improving your deep knowledge include:
- Getting a college diploma in Cosmetology
- Reading the biographies of people who have started some of the most famous cosmetic lines, such as Helena Rubenstein, Estée Lauder and so forth
- Getting a basic background in chemistry, perhaps even doing coursework in chemistry
- Learning about alternative ingredient options (the greening of makeup is now big business)
- Spending time learning which ingredients go into different types of cosmetics, such as lipstick, foundation, etc.
2Experiment at home. Borrow and buy books on making your own cosmetics. This hands-on experimenting, coupled with the knowledge you are gaining, will help you to get a good feel for how ingredients work together and for the ability of these products to deliver the things you hope they will, from softer skin to brighter hair.
- There are many good books on making cosmetics available in libraries and book stores. There are also lots of online suggestions but be careful about these; check that they are safe and don't automatically believe that they will achieve the end results you're after––you'll need to test that aspect for yourself.
- Ask friends if they would like to try your products.
Part 2
Deciding the Extent of Your Cosmetics Line
1Consider which area of cosmetics you want to concentrate on. The term "cosmetics" covers a broad range of products, including hair, skin and facial products. It even covers toothpaste and deodorant, so it's a good idea to know which area you want to concentrate on initially. Your business will be more successful if you narrow it down at the beginning. For example, Poppy's Lipsticks are famous worldwide, quite probably because she didn't also try to have Poppy's Eyeshadow, Poppy's Shampoo and Poppy's Skin Bedazzler all at the same time... Concentrate on the area that interests you most, that you know you will be good at and that you know the market can handle at this point in time.
- As your business gets off the ground and feels more robust, you can add new lines to your existing line. Until then, concentrate on being the best in one line. Perfect it, build your name and use that to gain the respect needed to launch more ideas.
2Learn marketing skills. Cosmetics is a field already full of people vying their products. What sets most successful cosmetics apart from the rest is the marketing––from packaging to promises of ever-lasting youth, you'll need to find the right hooks to draw in your future customers. And ask yourself the tough questions:
- What is so special or different about your product over others?
- Why should a customer try your line and forgo using another line they already enjoy using?
- What sort of packaging will create a recognizable brand for you that has wow factor, trustworthiness and reliability all rolled into one?
- What special ingredient or factor are you focusing on? Many products choose something that they sell as their special niche, such as "organic", "natural", "rose infused", "macadamia nut softening", or whatever! And do you have scientific facts to back up your claims that your product will do what you're promising?
Part 3
Setting Up the Business
1Think of a name. This is going to be a very important part of your business and defines the line as well as the business. In some cases, you may consider your own name to be sufficient. In others, you might like a boring company name, like Backroom Industries Inc., to cover all the administrative things, and have an exciting line name, such as Blackhole Galaxy Facial Powder.
2Consider whether you wish to start from home or lease premises. Leasing premises can be expensive at the start. One option can be to rent space in an industrial kitchen or a laboratory to test and make your products, then have these stored somewhere safe and dry before shipping to the sales locations. If you do want to rent premises, keep the overheads low and don't try to move into an area that is expensive––start at the lower end and change to more expensive premises when you can afford more.
3Talk to financial and legal advisers when setting up the business. They will need to cover aspects such as insurance, patents and trademarks, meeting safety standards for the production of cosmetics (you need to know these rules too) and other such things as leases, safe storage of the goods and employment contracts/salaries for staff.
- Register your cosmetics business once you've sorted out the finer details.
Part 4
Promoting the Products
1Sell your cosmetic line in as many ways as possible. This includes visiting department stores directly to ask them to stock your cosmetics, selling online in your own shop and through auction or consignment stores and even through parties at which you demonstrate the cosmetics.
2Have key selling points clearly in your mind. Have about five major reasons ready to tell people as to why your cosmetics line is amazing and worth trying. Be honest and have a background story as to why you started this business.
- For example, you might tell people that your lipstick is brighter than other lipsticks because you've included the glowing aura of the Ophelia flower picked at the stroke of midnight. You got the idea when hiking the backwoods of Opfiala county one summer three years ago, during a time in your life when you despaired of ever finding a lipstick that worked at night... and so on, you get the drift!
Community Q&A
QuestionHow do I make my products known?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerIt's all about promotion. Start small by getting friends to help spread the word or go to fairs or craft shows to get people to see your product. Set up a website where you can sell online or ask to sell your products in local cosmetics stores.
QuestionI have a name but no products - how do I get it together or make them?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerThere are many websites where you can buy ingredients to make your cosmetics. Many of them have recipes on them so you can follow their instructions.
QuestionWhere do I get the materials to make the products?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerThe cheapest way to make cosmetics is to buy the ingredients online in bulk. In your online search terms, add the keywords "whole sale" or "bulk" and you'll find a bunch of options!
QuestionWhat can I use to make my own lipstick line?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerThere are so many books and tutorials on how to make lipstick but the basics usually consist of beeswax (or soy wax), castor oil, and a pigment of some kind, whether it be powder or liquid. Of course ingredients will vary depending on the type of formula you want to create, if you want it to be vegan, etc.
QuestionHow old do you need to be to make your own cosmetics line?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerThere is no set age. As long as you have the maturity and business sense, you can begin a business at any age.
QuestionWhen is the right time to throw a launch party for a cosmetic line?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerUnless you are launching at a big retail store (for example, Sephora, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales. etc.), then you shouldn't be throwing a launch party. Try to get your product out there as much as possible. After it's a little popular and people are buying your cosmetics, then throw a party to launch it properly.
QuestionCan a dermatologist start her own cosmetic line? How?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerAnyone can start their own makeup line. A dermatologist has the upper hand with skin products, because they know what works well with each skin type better than the average person, and they can create things like an Eczema Skin Scrub, and make lots of money off it. You need to set up your plan, approximate the amount of money you'll be spending on this idea, and talk with a makeup lab. Then get started on specific plans for your products.
QuestionWhat can I do if I do not have any money or access to household items?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerYou can get a job and save up money, or try to raise the money in other ways.
QuestionHow can I start my own cosmetics line with no money?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerTry to create different types of makeup for less, or with things you already have at home. For example, creating lipstick out of coconut oil and crayons. You can really play around with different everyday materials, and if you need some help, there are plenty of tutorials of DIY makeup online.
QuestionDoes age matter for starting a cosmetic line?wikiHow ContributorCommunity AnswerAge really doesn't matter, but your level of maturity and knowledge does. Someone could have everything that it takes to start a makeup line at 13 years old, while some 30 years olds don't.
How to start skin care product business?
How much is the registration fee?
Do I need to be a makeup guru or have very good and professional skills on wearing makeup to make cosmetics of my own?
How do you get shops to stock your brand?
What are some household items I can use to make my own foundation?
Quick Summary
If you want to start up a cosmetics line, focus on building your knowledge by experimenting at home with cosmetics books. Then, consider taking a college diploma in cosmetology to deepen your knowledge further. Next, decide which area of cosmetics your company will focus on, such as hair products, facial creams, or toothpaste. Once you've perfected your product, establish your business by giving it a name, then organize insurance and patent protection with lawyers and financiers.
- Know what age group you want as your target market for your cosmetic line. This will help you to define the whole appearance of the product, packaging and advertising.
- Find volunteers to experiment your cosmetic products on. Let them know what the ingredients are, in case of allergies though. Let them opt out of using anything they don't want to use, it's their prerogative.
- Try using more organic and natural ingredients. People have lately been trying to be as green as possible, and if your products are all-natural as well as appealing, people will be drawn to them!
- Do not test on animals. That has become a serious taboo, in recent years, and may turn potential customers away from your cosmetics line.
- Buying insurance is essential if you want to start your own business and cover any mishaps caused by the cosmetics. Like food, cosmetics can cause irritation, allergies and can provide an environment for growing bacteria. You don't want to be at the receiving end of a lawsuit without coverage for potential liability.

|Project Name:
|ASEAN+3 Rectors' Conference
|This page is under the section of:
|University Leaders' Dialogue
|Short Name :
|ASEAN+3 UNet
|Partner / Secretariat :
|AUN Member Universities and Universities from the Plus Three countries
|Objectives :
|to create a platform for executive level (President/Rector/Vice-chancellor) of the ASEAN and the Plus Three universities to learn and share their views toward the challenges ahead for the ASEAN+3 future cooperation.
Highlighted Milestone :
The ASEAN+3 cooperation initiated in December 1997 with the convening of an informal Summit among the Leaders of ASEAN and their counterparts from People's Republic of China, Japan and Republic of Korea. The ASEAN+3 process was institutionalized in 1999 when the Leaders issued a Joint Statement on East Asia Cooperation at their 3rd ASEAN+3 Summit in Manila. The ASEAN+3 Leaders expressed greater resolve and confidence in further strengthening and deepening East Asia cooperation at various levels and in various areas, particularly in economic and social, political, and other fields.
Since then, a number of key documents have been adopted to set the direction for ASEAN+3 cooperation. This include the Second Joint Statement on East Asia Cooperation: "Building on the Foundations of ASEAN+3 Cooperation" and the ASEAN+3 Cooperation Work Plan 2007-2017.
The Work Plan serves as the master plan for enriching ASEAN+3 relations and cooperation in a comprehensive and mutually beneficial manner. It also contributes to the establishment of the ASEAN Community by 2015.
Under the Work Plan, the ASEAN University Network is tasked to promote higher education, increase linkages between universities and encourage credit transfers in ASEAN+3 countries. In realization of this vital mission, the "ASEAN +3 Higher Education Policy Dialogue" was successfully convened in Phuket, Thailand in March 2009 with full support by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand, the Office of Higher Education Commission, Thailand and the AUN Secretariat.
As a result, the conference participants agreed to establish an ASEAN+3 University Network, as well as the ASEAN+3 Rectors' Conference and the heads of ASEAN+3 International Relations' Meeting in rotation between the AUN Member Universities and universities from the Plus Three countries. This initiative is considered as a significant mechanism to intensify the ASEAN+3 higher education cooperation and ultimately lead to the East Asian community building. These proposed activities were recognized as part of the six action lines under the ASEAN+3 Plan of Action on Education 2007-2017.
Recent Development :
1st ASEAN +3 Rectors' Conference: Inaugural meeting for an establishment of the ASEAN+3 University Network
Pursuant to the recommendation of the ASEAN+3 Higher Education Policy Dialogue, held on 20-23 March 2009 in Phuket, Thailand. The Meeting was discussed on the ASEAN+3 initiation under the theme "Intellectual Contribution to Enhancing the Future Higher Education in East Asian Community." The meeting concluded with the productive recommendations, addressing the intensification mechanisms of the ASEAN+3 cooperation on university networking and East Asia Community building through an establishment of the ASEAN+3 University Network. The 1st ASEAN +3 Rectors' Conference was hosted by Peking University on 1 November 2012 in Beijing, P.R. China. On the occasion of the first inaugural of the AESAN+3 Rectors' Conference, the representatives from AUN and the Plus Three member universities officially signed the MOU for an establishment of the ASEAN+3 University Network and agreed to the Terms of Reference (TOR) of the ASEAN+3 University Network which was put into effect after the MOU signing.
The 2nd ASEAN+3 Rectors' conference
The 2nd ASEAN+3 Rectors' Conference was kindly hosted and organized by Chiang Mai University in cooperation with the ASEAN University Network (AUN) on 6-7 November 2014 in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The purpose of the conference was to create a platform for executive level (President/Rector/Vice-Chancellor) of the ASEAN and the Plus Three universities to learn and share their views towards the challenges for the ASEAN + 3 future cooperation. The conference comprised 3 main activities. The first is the presentations by the representatives of the Ministry of Education from the Plus Three countries and the ASEAN Secretariat on national policies for potential collaborations and on possible cooperation amongst leading ASEAN and Plus Three countries respectively.

Charlize Theron threw a house party to celebrate her new son's first birthday that Sandra Bullock and her adorable son Louis attended on Feb. 18. While Bullock's name has been in all the latest news on celeb gossip websites for her prestigious status as a Hollywood movie star (because she's hosting a segment during the Oscars on Feb. 24), Theron has been doing more behind-the-scenes. She's been using her celebrity status less to promote her own star power and opting instead to focus more on doing good deeds.
Theron is a philanthropic powerhouse who has fought against the devastating AIDS crisis in her South African homeland. She has opposed violence against women, supported animal treatment and rescue, and works tirelessly for a host of humanitarian, pet friendly and eco-friendly charities. She established her own foundation, the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project , to fight the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
She is also a UN Ambassador of Peace.
According to Huffington Post, Theron accepted an award on Jan. 22 for her humanitarian work at the opening ceremony of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
One spectacular charitable contribution was to raise $42,000 as a dinner date for a businessman who bid on her at a charity auction. The funds went to Oxfam, the International Red Cross, the National Geographic Society and other charities.
Along with many other charities, Theron supports People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).
Charlize Theron was born on August 7, 1975 in Bennoni, Gauteng, South Africa. After growing up on a farm and studying ballet, she took a place in New York with the Joffrey Ballet. She did a bit of modeling until a knee injury put an end to her dancing career.
At age 18, she headed to Los Angeles with no connections or contacts until an agent handed her his card. The agent handed her the card after she demonstrated her acting ability at a bank that would not accept a check that her mother had sent her. She studied acting and learned English by watching soap operas.
Her first breakthrough film role in "The Devil's Advocate". She went on to portray characters with much more depth than mere eye candy, winning praise for her work in such films as "Legend of Bagger Vance" and "The Italian Job" until 2004 when she won her first Oscar for her role in "Monster".
She and Bullock (who starred in "The Blindside") have been celebrity friends for quite some time now — which is not surprising. Since Sandra is one of the world's most prominent humanitarians and green celebrities, she and Theron both must have tons to discuss.
Since they are both adoptive mothers, they also are likely to bond while discussing parenting.

Sewing Rarity Automaton
Renegadecow makes amazing My Little Pony automata. If you're going to have an artistic specialty, that's about as cool as you can get. He's already made one of Twilight Sparkle reading and Fluttershy directing her bird choir. Most recently, he's made one of Rarity sewing in her workshop while her cat Opalescence flits her tail.
Although Fluttershy is my favorite pony and I do adore the automaton that he's made of her, I hope that he makes one for Derpy. She has so much comic potential.
Speaking of which...

I've got to say my favorite isn't on this list because its in the original ponies from the eighties. The new ones are cute but they don't really look like ponies. They look like deer. That's just an opinion of an eighties kid talking though.

Today, let's check in on your campaign's ad rotation setting. Proper ad rotation is crucial to getting a valid split test from multiple ads in Google AdWords and the default value may not be in your best interest. If one of your ads is not getting a fair rotation in the test, it will not be clear how much it can contribute to your success. This is where the picking the right rotation setting becomes important.
From the Campaigns tab in your AdWords Account with a campaign selected:
Make sure that your campaign is set to All features (shown below):
Scroll down and find Advanced settings for Ad Delivery, Ad Rotation, and Frequency Capping:
In most cases, our recommendation on this setting is the "Rotate indefinitely" setting but the other settings have their value as well, so we will discuss them all.
Optimize for clicks is the default that Google recommends and that makes perfect sense for Google or for the advertiser who does not want to spend the time to do the testing properly. For Google, this improves the click through rate and that optimizes Google's revenue. For the advertiser that wants to save time, it does the test and moves on quickly. However, Google is very quick to move on this optimization and many, including us, believe that they move too quickly.
Optimize for conversions is a setting we are often fans of but only under certain conditions. You need to have enough conversions that the system can do this optimization and typically this is about 30 in a month. At the Ad Group level, few businesses have the volume required for this setting.
Rotate evenly is a lazy person setting that runs the test for 90 days and then optimizes the ads. This allows you to set up a test and it will automatically conclude and set the winner. While we are not huge fans of this, it is useful if AdWords is not something you work on all the time. By using this setting, if you fail to get back to the test after data is collected it will go to the optimized ad at 90 days.
Rotate indefinitely is our go to recommendation and clearly Google disagrees with us. Google's recommendation on this setting is clear "Not recommended for most advertisers". They never qualify why they do not recommend this setting but at one point they removed the option from the system. This action resulted in a huge protest from smart advertisers that resulted in Google bringing the feature back. We recommend this because it forces the test to run until we call a winner, not Google. In many small businesses, the data never reaches a valid level and this setting indefinitely gives us multiple ad delivery. We think that Google's is thinking with their wallet not yours and clearly this is best for their revenue.
In closing, this is not an area that you need to visit frequently but it is a setting that all advertisers should understand.

Ice or Frost on Back Wall of Refrigerator
- Faulty door gasket
- Air leaking into the unit
- Air circulation issue
- Sealed system issue
Core Issue:
- Why is ice forming on the back wall or floor of the refrigerator?
- Why has ice formed at the back of the crisper shelf assembly?
- Why is there ice behind the refrigerator drawers?
Steps to Verify Issue:
- Open the refrigerator door and inspect the unit door gasket. If it is ripped, torn, or damaged, replace it using Door Gasket Replacement Instructions.
- Contact a Factory Certified Parts Distributor to order parts.
- Remove door obstructions that may prevent a proper seal. Verify the door closes all the way.
- Check the set temperatures are at or near 38°F in the refrigerator, 0°F in the freezer, or 4-6 if the unit has a dial control.
- Clean the Condenser if it has not been done in the last 6 months. It could take up to 24 hours for the unit to respond once the condenser is clean.
- For model 648PRO or PRO48, see 648PRO Refrigerator Evaporator Icing Up.
- Address error codes if any are present on the display.
- For heavy icing, turn off the unit and use a hair dryer on low to remove the ice.
- Remove the crisper drawer and crisper shelf assembly; if equipped, remove all lower storage drawers.
- If ice is in the crisper area, a drain issue is more likely than if the frost is in the shelf area.
- Food debris, standing water, or ice built up in the drain trough or drain tube located along the back wall may cause frost if the drain tube is clogged.
- The drain trough and drain tube will only be visible on a 200, 300, 500, or 600 Series. See 200 300 500 600 Series Refrigerator Drain Tube Cleaning.
- For 400 Wine Storage, 700 Series, 648PRO, and Built-In (BI) Series, refer to Drain Tube Cleaning (BI-700-400-648PRO Series.
Ice or frost on the back wall of a refrigerator is often caused by warm air leaking into the unit or a clogged drain tube. If ice or frost returns after following the above steps, no further troubleshooting advice is available. Contact Factory Certified Service to schedule an appointment for repair.

I abhor tabulated data for a number of reasons:
- Quite difficult on the human eye to spot trends
- Puts a burden on the end user to spend extra time digesting the information
- True insights get lost because the devil is in the details
In fact, individuals who join Square's SEO team (I'm hiring by the way) are required to read this book on how to visualize data before making any presentations – an SEO bible, if you will.
Which is why when I saw Eli publish this article summarizing top marketing words in Linkedin job titles, I found it the perfect opportunity to build upon the data he gathered. So, what does that look like?
In terms of total job postings by city, NYC comes out on top followed by Los Angeles and a close third in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Biography Jim Parsons
Jim Parsons – American comedian, has won the sincere sympathy of viewers for his role as abstruse, but cute physicist Sheldon Cooper in "The Big Bang Theory" TV series. Winner of the prize "Golden Globe" and "Emmy" in the nomination "The best comedian."
Family and childhood Jim
Jim, as well as his on-screen character Sheldon, who was born in Houston, Texas. His mother was a schoolteacher and his father – the owner of a small plumbing company. Jim Younger sister went on the footsteps of his mother, and also became a teacher. But Jim was the first actor in the family Parsons.
As a child, Jim has a mild, kind and friendly character. Despite the modesty, it is easy to make new acquaintances, and was a devoted friend. After graduating from high school friends even gave him a letter of "the most friendly classmate," which he holds to this day.
Jim often entertained friends of humorous sketches and cartoons – in acting it was not equal. Virtuoso performed his first role birdies on children's play, Jim decided to become an actor when he grows up.
Education and Theatre
After high school, Jim enrolled at the University of Houston and immediately joined the local drama group. During training, he participated in 17 plays and countless miniatures. Even then, he felt that the theater – it's not just a hobby, but a vocation.
So after graduation, he entered the graduate school of the University of San Diego. Among the seven most talented young actors, Jim was adopted at the 2-year program of study classical theater arts. The program manager said of him: "Jim is original too, so we doubted whether he would be able to adapt to the classical theater? But he was so talented, we gave him a chance. " This was a chance for Jim challenge. And he did it.
Careers in Film
After graduation, Jim moved to New York and started looking for a job, a decent young talent. But during the first years, he too succeeded acting break – played several minor roles in TV series ( "Ed," "Judging Amy") and films ( "Garden State"). At the same time – he continued to refine their skills in theater. Ironically, Jim noticed after filming in commercials, where he successfully played man-wolf. This was followed by a few sentences about the work that Jim gladly accepted – "Great new miracle ',' Gardener of Eden," "10 Steps to Success", "height", "School for Scoundrels."
Of course, he would like to play in some more significant project. Therefore, reading the script of the series "The Big Bang Theory," Jim immediately went to the audition.
Jim Parsons in "The Big Bang Theory"
The creative team sitcom remembers what an incredible impression on them a little-known actor named Jim while listening. The producer asked him to say a monologue again, unable to believe that the second time the guy will perform as effectively. And I do not believe my eyes and ears. The role of Sheldon's no doubt he got. So he became famous. In just two years of work in the series "The Big Bang Theory" actor Jim Parsons won the award from the Television Critics Association Award, "Golden Globe" and the two "Emmy" in the category "Best Comedian".
Jim admits that perform comic role very difficult. "This job requires me harder than I expected – which are only these physical terms! But I like it. I've been rehearsing constantly repeat monologues – at home, in the gym, for a walk. So I feel more confident during the filming. "
By the way, a special consultant – scientist physicist David Salzberg – involved in writing the script (comes up with scientific dialogues and jokes between physicists) and the on-set (following the correct use of scientific terms). Jim admits that does not always understand what he says on behalf of his character Sheldon.
Currently Jim is working on filming the new season of the series, and is also involved in other television projects.
Personal life
Not long ago, Jim told the truth about their sexual orientation. Although the fact that he was gay, had long been guessed. He also presented the public with his friend – Todd Spivak, Hollywood producer of art projects. For over a decade the pair maintains a close relationship. They live in Los Angeles and everywhere appear together.

Gluten, Soy, Nut, Dairy, Cruelty Free, Vegan Skin Care
Learn about our natural skin care.
How Can You Actually Use This?
Either read the labels on your skincare with a biochemist or trust us. We take this as a personal mission. Our family members have multiple allergies, eczema and atopic dermatitis. We have seen firsthand what our products have done for them, the relief our products have given them. In short, it cannot get more personal.
That's not all:
Putting common allergens on a rash often enough will predictably make you allergic to these allergens when you put them on your skin or in your stomach. It may take months or years, but it happens. To most, this is as alarming as it is true. This is one big reason why all people should avoid cosmetics that contain common allergens.
Simply put:
Ceela prevents the onset of skincare-induced "Top-8 plus corn" food allergies when hydrating skin with eczema.
Physicians and allergists recommend using skin care without common allergens (like nuts, e.g. Argan is a nut). Could ignoring this fact while treating diaper rashes contribute to our rise in childhood allergies?
Our products use simple and understandable ingredients. Ceela has no small print or unfamiliar chemicals. Most people recognize our ingredients as something you might buy as a nutritional supplement, and most are found in your own body. Chances are you eat all the ingredients found in Ceela every day. Therefore, when you choose Ceela, you make the healthy choice.
If you treat your eczema with creams containing common allergens, you risk developing a food allergy.
It's incredible but true: for eczema, physicians often recommend Aveeno products that contain Shea, a tree nut common allergen. Whether this contributes to the increasing incidence of nut allergies remains to be reviewed, although there is a very good chance an association will evolve.
Ceela offers only Gluten, Soy, Nut, Dairy, Cruelty and Corn-Free, Vegan skin care because this is the safest option for your skin. As opposed to uninformed physicians, physician Allergists recommend hydrating with common allergen free skin care when you have eczema or atopic dermatitis in order to prevent potential unwanted reactions.
Because Ceela uses no common allergens or corn-derived ingredients,
we are perfect for the most sensitive skin. We comfort skin with simple ingredients, and we help your allergies by helping you avoid them. As a result, choosing Ceela is an easy step to take in treating your eczema and atopic dermatitis.
We also have fewer ingredients than most, and fewer ingredients mean fewer chances for an allergic response. Ceela has a very low probability of causing an allergic response, eczema, or atopic dermatitis, and you can find the entire ingredient list with each product to see how straightforward our products are. If you have trouble identifying what any of our few ingredients mean to you, call us: 502-445-9471.
Ceela gives people with sensitive skin or eczema the opportunity for optimal skin hydration while lowering the chance of unwanted reactions. At Ceela, we delve deeper into purity than most anyone.

I went to Brighton SEO on Friday to learn a bit more about, well, SEO. My key take-away was that there is a divide between traditional SEO and the new way of thinking. This is essentially the view that we should forget algorithms and trying to keep up with Google and start getting consumers to share content.
However, news such as the recent 'twitter terrorists' story, in which 2 people spread rumours on twitter that gunmen were attacking schools in Veracruz leading to widespread panic, are becoming increasingly familiar. People are continuing to share content online irresponsibly and the punishment for doing so is becoming increasingly more severe. Content sharing over social networking sites such as twitter is no longer seen as a joke and as a result, brands are under even more pressure to get it right.
In addition, with 27,000,000 pieces of content being shared a day, it is extremely important for brands to not just add to the 'noise'. @HabitatUK is just one example of how doing this without much thought can go very wrong after it used several trending topics, which had nothing to do with furniture, on twitter to get its tweet noticed.
So what sort of content should brands be looking to create?
Here are my 5 top-tips:
1. Be relevant.
Take Kleenex's hayfever map for example. Kleenex built a real-time picture of the worst places to be affected by hayfever in Britain using twitter. By creating a piece of content that is relevant to the public, Kleenex said it managed to reach over 75 million people.
2. Be helpful.
Recently Propellernet visited us here at NM towers to talk to us about how they create content with the aim of getting people to share it (which in turn affects SEO). One of the pieces of content they showed us was a video for running shoes advice, which could then sit upon sportsshoes.com. The campaign was hugely successful and traffic to the advice page increased by 57% because the content is extremely helpful for the targeted audience.
3. Be personal.
You're all probably familiar with the Old Spice campaign but I had to include it in the list because the videos are one of the most shared pieces of content of all time. There are several reasons for this but one of them is how Old Spice seeded the videos in the first place by sending personal video replies to consumers via twitter.
4. Encourage your audience to make their own content.
Consumers trust peer to peer recommendations over brands. By encouraging your audience to create their own content, organic sharing should follow. There are tons of examples of this but one good example made-up part of WWF's Earth Hour campaign in which they asked participants to upload images of light-writing.
5. Be compelling.
Give your audience incentives to share content just like Perrier did with their awesome and compelling YouTube video in which as more people watched it, stages of the video were unlocked, more content was shown and the 'party got hotter'.
So there you have it. If you have any more top tips for good content creation then please feel free to share them in the comment section below!

Educational Trust Awards Hardship Grant to Tornado Victim
Mississippi firm will use grant to help families affected by storm
DEERFIELD, ILL. — June 28, 2011 — The Selected Independent Funeral Homes Educational Trust has awarded its second Hardship Grant of 2011 to Selected Member E. E. Pickle Funeral Home, of Amory, Miss., in the amount of $8,000. The funds will be used to continue serving families after the funeral home was destroyed during a tornado on April 27, 2011.
Robert Pickle, funeral director and embalmer at E.E. Pickle, contacted Selected in early May regarding the damage the funeral home sustained during the storm and applied for the hardship grant. Although the funeral home was completely destroyed, Pickle and the rest of the staff knew it was important to continue helping the community. Of the 15 lives lost in the storm, E.E. Pickle Funeral Home was able to perform services for 13 of the families.
Upon hearing the news, Executive Director Rob Paterkiewicz reached out to the funeral home directly. Once it received the application, the Board of Trustees promptly granted the award to E.E. Pickle Funeral Home.
"Through all the devastation and loss of very precious lives in seemingly an instant, it was comforting to see how all the people and organizations from near and far reached out to help the families of Smithville," said Pickle. "This loving, unselfish, can-do attitude of Small-town USA was quickly very apparent and very humbling as were the outpouring of donations of time, equipment, materials, clothing, shelter and financial support."
"This is precisely the reason the Trust exists and raises funds – so that we can assist independent funeral homes in their time of need," said Paterkiewicz. "A funeral home represents a unique type of business that, similar to a hospital or school, is a vital community resource that must remain operational. We're hoping that these funds helped bridge the gap in operational out-of-pocket expenses so that E.E. Pickle could continue serving their families and the surrounding community," he added.
Pickle also plans to remember those who were lost in the tragedy. "Because lives cannot be replaced, our plans are to remember those who died from the tornado with a plaque that will be placed in a memorial garden when the Smithville location is rebuilt," he shares. "In addition, we will remember my grandfather, Guy R. Pickle, and my father, G. Warren Pickle, as they were instrumental in starting the funeral home in Smithville and for its success since opening 25 years ago."
E.E. Pickle Funeral Home is the secondapplicant to be awarded the Hardship Grant since the program was created a year ago. The Trust plans to award up to two grants per year going forward.
The Hardship Grant is one of several programs of the Selected Educational Trust which was founded by Selected Independent Funeral Homes, a worldwide professional association of independent, locally-owned funeral homes founded in 1917. Any independently-owned and operated funeral home that has been adversely affected by a natural disaster, fire or flood is eligible to apply for the Hardship Grant, which is to be used to pay for operating expenses not covered by insurance and/or other needs as identified by the applicant.
When applying, the funeral home must be able to fully demonstrate its need for the Hardship Grant by supplying financial information pertaining to the operations affected along with anticipated insurance coverage. Membership in Selected Independent Funeral Homes is not a requirement. A grantrecipient is only able to receive the grant once in a twelve-month period, and once per event.
Editor's Note: Photos of the damages sustained by E.E. Pickle Funeral Home are available upon request. Please contact Lisa Gunggoll at email@example.com.
About the Selected Independent Funeral Homes Educational Trust
The Selected Educational Trust was established in 1982 as a charitable organization to develop and present educational programs on business management, counseling, personnel management and other topics of interest to the membership of Selected Independent Funeral Homes. Since then, it has expanded its role and funding opportunities to benefit the entire funeral home profession.

We have an excellent teacher-student ratio which allows us to work in small groups with children who are either behind or excelling.
We believe children learn through play. Play is their work. However, we do recognize that more and more is being asked of children entering kindergarten, so we do provide more formal/structured lessons as well.
We start with group time which focuses on our educational theme of the week. Our 4s and Pre-K students take turns doing jobs such as helping with attendance, weather report, calendar, etc. After group time is free time where we also work on crafts and/or seatwork/worksheets. Then we wash-up for snack time. Afterf snack, we have physical education or our music education class. We end with story time.
We have a Parent Open House to start the year. We provide monthly newsletters and calendars that detail the upcoming topics in school and events. Parents are invited to spend the day with their child at school on the child's birthday/special day, can volunteer within the classroom, and are always welcome to visit. We schedule parent-teacher conferences in January and have an All-School Open House where children peform and artwork is displayed in the Spring.
We have a Parent-Child Open House where the parents and children spend a 1/2 hour at the school to become familiar with it. Then we begin our staggered entrances which involve smaller groups of students coming in for a shorter time period. We also do home visits for the 3s program. Children with needing more help with separation are worked with on an individual basis in concert with their parents.

Nice comic!! The artwork looks really good, the story is convincingly good and moves at a good pace (you don't have too much verbage to slow the strip to a boring super-slow-mode condition ;)). I guess I'll have to stick around for awhile and see where it goes.

From Bainbridge, Ohio, USA:
Recently, my six year old daughter's behavior has become (at times) uncontrollable, and what I would deem more severely out of the realms of typical "only child syndrome". She is with above average in intelligence, but her grades aren't what I know they can and should be, mostly because of lack of attention on her part. She seems to be far worse following the slightest sugar consumption (especially chocolate). I had gestational diabetes and my father and two grandmothers had diabetes. A friend suggested that blood sugar fluctuation might be causing her problems. Could this be the case? I plan to take her to the pediatrician for testing, but would like your input and advice in the meantime.
I would think that your daughter does not have either hypoglycemia or diabetes. I would suggest that you discuss these behavioral problems directly with her pediatrician or primary care team to see what they might suggest. There are many reasons for such problems, and it is unlikely that this is related to sugar she is eating or chocolate as long as she is otherwise healthy and eating appropriately. Being a good detective for a few weeks may help you and your health care providers figure out what might be going on with her school work. Also, having a conference with her teachers may also give you some ideas.

Library board vacancy approved, airs trust issue
GRAND BLANC TWP. — A simple matter of two vacancies on the board of the Genesee District Library (GDL) turned into a discussion of a legal issue involving the trust of Margaret L. Claffey, who, in March 2012, left more than $329,000 to the McFarlen Library, a branch of the GDL.
According to township officials who spoke during the Aug. 8 board meeting, the issue resides in the fact all GDL branches, except the headquarters, are owned by the local municipality, in this case, McFarlen is jointly held by Grand Blanc city and township.
The money is currently being held in trust and there are lawyers negotiating the exact terms of the distribution of the funds. Although the GDL formed a special committee to help determine the best use of the funds, there is question over whether the money can be used for physical improvements to the building itself, as it is not owned by the GDL.
As the trust was stated, the money is to be donated to the McFarlen Library, but in legal terms, that entity only exists as the contents of the building itself. There were some concerns by township officials that the money had been allocated to the GDL General Fund which would enable it to be used across the district, but according to Linda Ryals- Massey, who was the outgoing board member, this is not the case.
Ryals-Massey, a current appointee of the board whose term was expiring, was up for re-election with two contenders, former Township Clerk Cathy Lane, who was one of the founding members of the GDL board, and local resident Beverly Wallace. Lane and Ryals-Massey were chosen to fill the two vacant positions.
"Any monies that come in as a gift are restricted," Ryals-Massey said. "All those dollars are currently sitting in an account waiting for agreement between the township, the city and the GDL." She stated emphatically that the funds will stay with the McFarlen library."
Also as Ryals-Massey recommended, and was already set up to occur, there will be a joint City-Township meeting to be held Aug. 28 at the Grand Blanc Senior Center at 7 p.m. According to Township Supervisor, Micki Hoffman, the library trust will be one of the main agenda items, among others.
Township Attorney David Lattie listened to the various discussions and advised the board that with legal negotiations pending, there is really no way to say what will happen, as the final disposition of the trust could include a combination of uses, known and unknown, and until those negotiations are final, it is just conjecture.
In other township business, the board approved a $758,031.01 bid from Zito Construction for replacement of the Baldwin/Gainey pump station and the Holly Road Sewer improvement project. Also approved were a Emergency Action Policy, software agreement, delegates to the MERS Retirement annual meeting and the pension committee, a $882,212.90 bond for the Braemoor subdivision paving project, new vehicles for the police department and other items. The board will not meet again in August due to the Labor Day holiday except for the special joint City-Township meeting to be held Aug. 28 at the Grand Blanc Senior Center at 7 p.m.

Florida's Absent Ballots
In Palm Beach County, voters choose paper over pixels.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.—Everyone knew that both parties would go on the attack during the final days of a close election, but we didn't think they would take it literally. In Sarasota on Tuesday, a 46-year-old man in a Cadillac decided to play chicken with former Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, who is now running for re-election to Congress. Amazingly, given that she was a pedestrian standing with some of her supporters, rather than driving a car, Harris won. The Cadillac "swerved onto the sidewalk" at the last minute, according to the Associated Press. "I was exercising my political expression," the man, Barry Seltzer, told police. "I did not run them down. I scared them a little." Perhaps the Supreme Court will weigh in on this election after all, if only to decide whether motor-vehicle "flybys" are protected under the First Amendment.
Not to be outdone, an 18-year-old high-school student and aspiring Marine in West Palm Beach ensured that the state's meltdown would be bipartisan. After his girlfriend—now ex-girlfriend—told him she was going to vote for John Kerry, Steven Soper allegedly "beat her and held her hostage with a screwdriver," according to the Palm Beach Post report, which is worth reading in full. In the city of Vero Beach, another Bush supporter, 52-year-old Michael Garone, is accused of pointing a gun at the head of a Kerry supporter. And they say Republicans are trying to suppress turnout.
Because of the journalistic rule that three makes a trend, the local TV news after the World Series broadcast a story on "political rage." The conclusion from the reporter: "Bottom line, psychiatrists say: Vote, then calm down. Stop watching the 24-hour cable news." But the problem most Palm Beach County voters seem to be worrying about is a much more mundane one: Will our votes be counted?
Because of the county's disastrous 2000 election, when elderly Jews accidentally voted for Pat Buchanan and when 19,000 "overvotes"—most of which were intended for Al Gore—were tossed because the confusing butterfly ballot led voters to think they should punch holes for both the president and the vice president, voters here are particularly knowledgeable about the ins and outs of voting systems and voting machines. Many voters are fearful of the new electronic touch-screen machines that will be used for this election, particularly because the machines lack a paper trail that could be used in a recount. As a result, a huge number of Palm Beach County voters have requested absentee ballots. Wednesday's Palm Beach Post reported that the county's Supervisor of Elections, Theresa LePore (yes, she's still around for one last election), said 128,000 absentee ballots had been mailed out through Monday. That's 17 percent of the more than 735,000 registered voters in the county, and it's 10,000 more absentee ballot requests so far than Miami-Dade County, which has 300,000 more voters. LePore told the paper her office expected to mail another 7,000 each day this week.
The absentee ballots are paper-and-pencil ballots that will be read by optical scan machines, which are the most accurate voting machines available. They're also the only way for voters in the county to cast a physical, paper ballot that can be recounted. The problem was highlighted for area voters after a special election in January for State House District 91. The race was decided by 12 votes, which meant that Florida's automatic recount law kicked in. Except there was nothing to recount, despite 134 blank "undervotes" recorded by the machines. Perhaps voters intentionally didn't cast a ballot in the race, but without a physical ballot, there was no way to inspect the undervotes to be sure.
The local Democratic Party has urged voters who are concerned about the machines' accuracy or who want a paper trail of their ballot to vote absentee. So has the state Republican Party, which earlier this year published a flyer in Miami that read, "Make sure your vote counts. Order your absentee ballot today."
But now voters claim they haven't received their absentee ballots in the mail, even though the ballots must be returned by 7 p.m. on Election Day in order for them to be counted. Nothing like Broward County's 50,000 missing ballots has occurred, and LePore blamed the post office for the problem. She told the Palm Beach Post, "We take them to the post office and then it's out of my hands." Voters who don't receive their ballots can still vote at the polls, but at the early-voting sites, the lines have been long: The wait was at least an hour each time I stopped by West Palm Beach's polling place on Wednesday.
Before the county's Democrats get hysterical and start aiming their cars at LePore, they should know that their party has at least two reasons for optimism. The first was noted earlier this month by Howard Goodman, a columnist for the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. According to Goodman, "Between August 2000 and August 2004, the Democratic voter rolls in Palm Beach County increased by 30,582. Almost 26,000 other people registered without declaring a political party. But Republicans added only 326 people."
The second is that Palm Beach County uses Sequoia touch-screen machines, which were adapted in Nevada to include a paper trail. In that state, the Washington Post reported this week, "They were used for the fall primary, and tests afterward showed that the paper totals and electronic totals matched perfectly." So, Florida voters, by all means, vote absentee if it makes you feel better. But Nevada's primary provides a good reason to trust the machines.

Monroe: 734.242.3765 or 800.732.1921
Lambertville: 734.856.4029
About Us
A Legacy of Learning
Our tradition of teaching and association with education began on the day we were founded as a credit union for teachers, May 1st, 1957. As 65 educators gathered at Ida High School to witness our formation, Monroe County Teachers Credit Union opened. Through the years, the field of membership was eventually opened to all public school employees, and on April 1st, 1989, the Monroe County Teachers Credit Union merged with St. Michael's of Monroe Credit Union further expanding the number of members.
An Era of Change in Focus and Name
Then, in 1995, the member-owners voted to "open up" the credit union membership to include employer groups within a 25-mile radius of the main office. This expansion in focus brought with it the need for growth in products and services to meet member needs. In August of the same year, to better represent this new field of membership, a name change was agreed to – Southeastern Educational Employees & Affiliates Credit Union, and finally to SEE&A Credit Union in June of 1997.
Finally, on December 1, 2004, SEE&A Credit Union changed names for the last time to Education Plus Credit Union (EPCU), better symbolizing its member-owner federation of community educators plus employers.
EPCU Today Into Tomorrow
Our primary purpose is to pass on to you a unique strength with your member-ownership in the form of all types of deposit accounts, loans, eServices, investment services, insurance, professional financial guidance and more, all through the more consumer-friendly personality known only to credit unions.
Today, EPCU is a state chartered, full-service, not-for-profit, safe and sound financial institution, federally insured by the National Credit Union Association (NCUA). We currently operate two full-service locations, in Monroe and Lambertville, serving an existing membership of 11,000-strong, and growing daily.
To support this continued growth, we've also established two student-run branch locations at Monroe High School and Jefferson High School, with more to come. It's just one more way that EPCU can pass on our passion and legacy of lifelong financial learning through a practical, hands-on educational approach.
In 2015, EPCU became a community charter credit union. This means that we can now offer services to anyone who lives, works or worships in Monroe and Lenawee county.
