WATCH LIVE: Coast Guard gives update after debris field found near Titanic during search for missing sub

The U.S. Coast Guard says a debris field has been found near the Titanic as rescuers search for a missing submersible en route to the ship’s wreckage. The Coast Guard put the statement on Twitter on Thursday. The search for the Titan has passed the critical 96-hour mark when breathable air could have run out. The Titan submersible was estimated to have about a four-day supply of breathable air when it launched Sunday morning in the North Atlantic. But experts have emphasized that was an approximation and could be extended if passengers have taken measures to conserve breathable air.

Scotland.

Highland, Argyll – Invernessshire: Glencoe – Fort William – Diary of a visionary

  • Gathering”

(Highlands, Argyll – Inverness-shire: Glencoe – Fort William)

The Scottish Highlands met us with beautiful landscapes, majestic gorges and impregnable mountains, though not very high at first glance. The road from the four-lane highway to Stirling turned into a local small path and in the direction of Fort William gradually grew into a path straying between numerous “suckers” and mountains, where at the turn you can barely miss a truck at full gallop.

On the other hand, the cultivated fields on the sides of the road grew into forests, from which, quite unexpectedly, long lakes or sea bays emerged in deep gorges between mountain ranges – on the local gallic “Lochs” (Lochs), in open places – vast valleys, or “glens” (Glens), where cultivated land alternates with virgin wilderness.

Closer to the west coast of Scotland, already in Argyll, nature became more severe and we entered the territory of Glencoe, a nature reserve and winter ski resort, from where a large number of hiking trails depart. A long valley with many small streams and almost no trees, all sorts of northern grasses, moss, delicate flowers everywhere, a sort of “sample” of Northern Scotland, which we have not yet reached.

At the entrance to Fort William (Fort William) charged a real North Atlantic rain, familiar to us from trips to Ireland and Norway. That is, water pours from the sky in many small streams, something like from a shower with little pressure, and you hardly notice them, until at one fine moment you find that you are wet to the underwear. Now I understand where the word “showers” comes from in English. And, probably, somehow it should happen when, at the first heights, the abundant evaporation of the Atlantic rains down on the earth.

Fort William is a small town in the Scottish Highlands, Invernessshire (and at the same time the second largest after Inverness), located at the foot of the largest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis, reaching a height of as much as 1344 meters. We will somehow allocate time separately for climbing Ben Nevis, but for now you can walk along the main restaurant street and try the local expensive Guinness.

Roads practically without a curb, but in key places they are equipped with convenient small parking lots. So you can drive everywhere and see everything, and Scotland is a very comfortable country for traveling by car.

The next day in Oban bought local whiskey. We realized that we still do not like whiskey. We couldn’t drink then.

If you don’t drink whiskey, then in Scotland it’s great with Australian and New Zealand wine.

Argyle pattern – BRANDSHOP — LiveJournal

Argyle pattern

Lozenges around the perimeter of vests, sweaters and socks became popular a hundred years ago. The argyle pattern was a symbol of aristocracy and wealth. Now, of course, divisions by status are not evaluated by the presence of such a wardrobe item. However, the pattern still remains a sign of refined taste and elegance. Rhombuses, arranged in a checkerboard pattern, are created by interlacing many threads of different shades.

The history of the appearance of the argyle pattern

There are two versions, one of them is known to everyone and, in our opinion, is quite real. In one of the provinces of Scotland, the Campbell clan lived, whose kilts were decorated with a similar pattern. Back in the 17th century, the Scots flaunted in checkered robes, standing out from other clans. As is known from history, each clan had its own pattern (tartan), by which they were distinguished. But when the industry moved far ahead by the beginning of the 20th century, it became possible for any consumer to produce fabrics with similar patterns.

The second version of the appearance, so to speak, is alternative. Some say that the pattern was based on the St. Andrew’s flag (the national flag of Scotland). On the flag, one can distinguish triangles rather than rhombuses. Despite this, the version also has a place to be.

Brands using Argyle

Robert Pringle was the first to use the pattern in the production of clothes for aristocrats and ordinary people. The specific cage, having contrasting lines along the contour, fell in love with the members of the royal family. So the founder of the Pringle of Scotland brand gained unprecedented popularity. After all, the Prince of Wales himself, Edward VIII, wore his knee socks for a golf game. The peak of the popularity of the pattern fell on the 20-30s of the XX century. At the same time, Pringle of Scotland released pullovers and sleeveless V-necks. Until now, this piece of clothing is considered a distinctive feature of fashionistas from high society. Millionaires and athletes in sports such as tennis and golf, which were considered entertainment for aristocrats, often purchased such sweaters. The company produced two main types of pattern: two-color and three-color.

Burlington was and still is another equally popular brand using the Argyle pattern. Spencer Love, who created the textile empire, oddly enough, is known to the general public precisely by creating socks with such an ornament. Burlington Socks still release patterned textiles to this day, bringing new touches and shades. It was their socks that surpassed even the aforementioned Pringle of Scotland in popularity and became the hallmark of the brand.

British leaders still prefer argyle patterns, Prince Charles loves lozenge knee-highs. Michelle Obama also follows the British trendy and wears a pullover with such an ornament. Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld even created a separate collection in 2013 entirely dedicated to the famous cage. Vivienne Westwood loves to add bright accents to the collections, using the same unique argyle.

In addition, the pattern can be found in the collections of Tommy Hilfiger and Givenchy. Someone uses them as an addition, someone uses the ornament as the main direction of the collection. Ralph Lauren completes a classic British look with patterned stockings. The rebirth of the kilt does not end there. To date, in the form of rhombuses, they create fabric for furniture, wallpaper, and even do manicures in a similar style.

Rhombuses, made using a special weaving technology and distinguished by bright and at the same time moderate color combinations, are liked by both aristocrats and lovers of an unusual style of clothing. Musicians and film industry workers often emphasize this check in their clothes.

AMERICA’S MOST ACCREDITED

We’re so proud!

Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited – nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That’s a big difference,
and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here’s why.

SCHOOL-READY

What Learning Looks Like

Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.

Holiday Springs KinderCare Programs

Infant Programs (6 weeks–1 year)

Leaving your baby in someone else’s care is a big step. Everyone at our
centers—most importantly, our naturally gifted infant teachers—will work with
you to make sure the transition goes smoothly. When you step into our infant
classroom, you’ll see how much we want your infant to feel safe, loved, and
ready to explore their world.

Toddler Programs (1–2 Years)

Everything in our toddler classroom is designed for little explorers. That’s
because a lot is going on at this age. When your child is wandering all over the
place, that means they’re learning and discovering new things every day. We’ll
help them explore their interests (and find new ones!) as they play and learn.

Discovery Preschool Programs (2–3 Years)

This age is filled with so much wonder and curiosity. That’s why we offer a ton
of books and toys and bring artwork down to kids eye level. Children in
discovery preschool also begin to learn how we all work together in a
classroom. Simple math and science, pretend play, and group play help them
get used to a more structured school setting.

Preschool Programs (3–4 Years)

This age is all about expression, when kids really start to form their own ideas
about what they want to play and how they want to create. Every day in our
preschool classroom, your child will explore science experiments, create
artwork, and play pretend—all the skills needed for their big next step:
kindergarten!

Prekindergarten Programs (4–5 Years)

When you walk into one of our pre-K classrooms, you’ll see artwork and
writing displayed around the room. Labels are everywhere to help kids connect
letters with words. You’ll also see pictures on the walls that reflect the families
in our community. Your child will also deepen their knowledge in language,
math, science, Spanish, and social skills.

Before- and After-School Programs (5–12 Years)

You can count on us to provide reliable care for your school-ager while you’re
at work, with safe transportation from our center to your child’s school and
back! Whether your child wants to start a drama club, build a volcano, or
create a comic book, they will have a place to follow their dreams. Your child
will start and end the day with a whole lot of fun!

School Break Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)

Winter break, spring break, summer break—when school’s out (but you still need to work), you
can count on KinderCare to provide a safe and supportive learning environment that’s focused
on fun. We welcome children ages 5–12 during school break times and make sure they have a
sensational, screen-free experience they won’t forget.

Participating Child Care Aware Center

KinderCare partners with Child Care Aware® of America to offer fee assistance for
Active Duty military families and flexible support to fit their needs when care at a Child
Development Center on the installation is not available.

Florida Voluntary Prekindergarten Programs

Learning Adventures – Enrichment Program

Cooking Academy™ (3 – 12 Years)

In Cooking Academy, kids learn new recipes from cultures around the world and
develop a healthy relationship with food. They’ll whip up everything from Southwest
rainbow lettuce wraps to pumpkin muffins, building their skills in STEM, communication,
and more along the way. And yes—little chefs get to eat their culinary creations!

Phonics Adventures® (2 – 4 Years)

Learning how to read is a whole lot of fun at KinderCare! We help kids grow to love
books and words (and get ready for kindergarten) in our Phonics Adventures program.
From discovering the basics of vowels to practicing poetry, kids learn all about letters
and sounds in small-group lessons made just for their age group. (Bonus: Kids who
attend our phonics program are more prepared than their peers for school—and we
have the data to prove it.)

Spanish

Spanish Adventures provides young learners with a foundation for later success with
the Spanish language. Music, games, children’s Spanish literature, and other tools give
children multiple opportunities to hear, practice, and see Spanish language to develop
vocabulary and conversation skills. Curriculum includes lessons on greetings, numbers,
colors, animals, family, body parts, and pets, as well as how to engage conversationally
during common scenarios at home, a restaurant, or at the zoo.

Our Teachers

We’re the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn’t enough though.
KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply,
we love our teachers and your child will, too.

Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!

A KINDERCARE TEACHER WITH

An Artist’s Heart

“My classroom is full of art!” says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.

We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We’re so proud to have been named one of Gallup’s 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award.
When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience
an amazing place to learn and grow.

Signal mountain elementary school: Uh oh. We’re very sorry.

Graduates remember Signal Mountain Elementary School

Staff photo by Mark Kennedy. Former Signal Mountain Elementary School students met Oct. 14, 2022, to talk about a reunion. They are, from left, David Nason, Ken Holloway, Rita Smith Irvin, John C. Wynne, Karin Glendenning, Gary D. Beene and Anne Rhodes Hagood.

Some of our most durable memories are forged in elementary school.

If you grew up in the middle years of the 20th century, you are lucky if your first school is still standing.

Signal Mountain residents of a certain age are especially lucky, as the former Signal Mountain Elementary School on Kentucky Avenue lives on as an arts-focused community center.

The Mountain Arts Community Center, known as the MACC for short, is a charming stone structure with a castle-like entrance that served as a public elementary school from 1926 to 1999. At points, it housed as many as eight grades, other times as few as three.

One day earlier this month, a group of seven former Signal Mountain Elementary students, most now in their 70s and 80s, gathered to plan a reunion for next spring.

The seven couldn’t stop buzzing about the memories activated by being inside their old school building while sitting at a conference room table made from old chalkboards.

They remembered the sweet smell of rolls baking in the lunchroom, the aroma of newly refinished floors, the excitement of rides on a fire truck; but mostly they remembered one another and their childhood adventures.

Gary D. Beene, a retired salesman who attended Signal Mountain Elementary in the 1950s, is the driving force behind the reunion plans, a dinner and reception during a yet-to-be-determined weekend in May 2023.

“It’s our generation’s time,” said Beene, who added that he has talked to former Signal Mountain Elementary students from as far as Charlotte, North Carolina, Atlanta and Nashville who want to come to the reunion.

Beene said his family moved to Signal Mountain when he was in the third grade to help his mother’s asthma. He was later part of the first class of students at the then-new Signal Mountain Junior High School, and was in the room when the eagle was chosen as the school’s mascot, he recalls. (Signal Mountain didn’t gain its own high school until 2008.)

David Nason attended Signal Mountain Elementary in the 1950s and 1960s. His mother was a teacher there then, and he remembers playing on the playground, which included an intimidating metal slide.

“We pretty much lived over here,” Nason said of the school grounds. “There weren’t any rubber chips or anything at the bottom (of the slide). If you fell from there, you could die.”

Karin Glendenning remembers being cast as Gretel in “Hansel and Gretel” when she was in elementary school. She also had a playground story to tell. When in the fourth grade, she fell off the “monkey bars” and hurt her arm.

“I remember looking down and seeing my broken arm,” she recalled. “It was at a strange angle, and my first thought was: ‘I don’t have to go to music lessons today.'”

Ken Holloway attended Signal Mountain in the early 1940s and remembers hearing people talk about the bombing of Pear Harbor while he was at school.

Some of his most vivid memories are of the school’s war-time lunchroom.

“We had potatoes and green beans and macaroni, and, once in a while, meatloaf,” Holloway said. “There wasn’t a whole lot of meat, this was war years.”

Rita Smith Irwin, whose family has lived in Signal Mountain for five generations, said her memories of attending the school through sixth grade focus on the quality of teaching there.

“We had teachers that were straight out of college,” Irwin said. “They gave us a wonderful education. The classrooms were relatively small by student-teacher ratio. We were disciplined (at school) and we knew we would get disciplined again at home.”

John C. Wynne started at Signal Elementary in 1949 and remembers taking a field trip to watch the inauguration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower on television in 1953.

“Not many people had televisions then,” Wynne recalls. “We went over to a home off Fairmount Avenue, and they had a floor model television, and we watched the inauguration.”

Anne Rhodes Hagood, who attended the school in the 1950s, remembers the cafeteria workers in their crisp, white dresses. Each had a folded lace handkerchief pinned to her dress with a rhinestone broach, Hagood recalls.

“I remember the scent (of food) going through that cafeteria line and starving to death,” she recalled.

The group plans to have dinner catered in the old lunchroom for the reunion.

Someone has suggested they serve fresh-baked rolls for old times’ sake.

Foreword

Dear children!

Nature has such riches that cause admiration at the first acquaintance with them. This is the beauty of the boundless expanses of the sea, the serene surface of the lake, majestic mountains with shining snowy peaks, mighty rivers with thundering rapids and waterfalls falling from heights…

Each of them – the arctic desert, tundra, taiga, forest zone, steppe, desert – surprises with its landscapes, climate, special flora and fauna, richness and diversity of natural resources.

But taking this dictionary in your hands, which will become your assistant and compass in the world of natural knowledge, you can go on an imaginary journey through your native country to study and fall in love with the amazing nature of the rivers, seas, lakes and mountains of Russia.

The entries in the dictionary are given in alphabetical order.

The source of the Volga is the key near the village of Volgoverkhovye in the Tver region. The river originates in the Valdai Upland, and flows into the Caspian Sea.

Basin area – 1 million 360 thousand square meters km. The Volga basin occupies about a third of the European part of Russia and extends from the Valdai and Central Russian Uplands in the west to the Urals in the east. The main feeding part of the Volga drainage area, from its sources to the cities of Nizhny Novgorod and Kazan, is located in the forest zone, the middle part of the basin to the cities of Samara and Saratov is in the forest-steppe zone, the lower part is in the steppe zone to Volgograd, and to the south – in the semi-desert zone. The Volga receives about 200 tributaries, including Vazuza, Sheksna, Oka, Vetluga, Kama. The left tributaries are more numerous and more abundant than the right ones.

In Antiquity, the Volga was known as Itil. It is believed that the Volga River got its name from the ancient Mari name Volgydo (“bright”), and the Mari were the first settlers on the Volga. According to another version, the name arose due to the size of the river from the ancient Slavic word vologa (moisture) and means “water” or “big water”.

The Volga in its course is divided into three parts: the Upper Volga – from the source to the mouth of the Oka, the Middle Volga – from the confluence of the Oka to the mouth of the Kama, and the Lower Volga – from the confluence of the Kama to the Caspian.

The Volga is mainly fed by snow (60% of annual runoff), ground (30%) and rain (10%) waters.

The Volga is Russia’s main waterway. It is connected to the Baltic Sea by the Volga-Baltic waterway, Vyshnevolotsk and Tikhvin systems; with the White Sea – through the Severodvinsk system and the White Sea-Baltic Canal; with the Azov and Black Seas – through the Volga-Don Canal.

Such large cities as Volgograd, Samara, Nizhny Novgorod, Kazan are located on the river.

About 70 species of fish live in the Volga. The most important of the commercial: vobla, herring, bream, pike perch, carp, catfish, pike, sturgeon, sterlet.

Don

Don is a river in the European part of Russia. The source of the Don is located in the northern part of the Central Russian Upland. The length of the river is 1870 km. The mouth of the Don is the Taganrog Bay of the Sea of ​​Azov. According to the catchment area, equal to 422 thousand square meters. km, in Europe, the Don is second only to the Volga, Dnieper, Danube and Kama.

The name of the river, according to one version, comes from the Ossetian “don” – “water, river”.

The Don has numerous branches and channels: Dead Donets, Stary Don, Bolshaya Kalancha, Bolshaya Kuterma, Perevoloka, etc. The tributaries of the river also include the Seversky Donets, Medveditsa, Khoper, Nepryadva, Tuzlov, etc.

For the Don, as well as for other rivers of the region, the asymmetric structure of the valley is characteristic. The right bank is high and steep, while the left bank is flat and low. The channel is winding, with numerous shallow sandy rifts.

The Don basin is located entirely within the forest-steppe and steppe zones. The proportion of snow supply is high (up to 70%) with relatively weak soil and rain supply. Don is characterized by high spring floods and low water levels in the rest of the year. The water level in the river fluctuates throughout its length from 8 to 13 m. The Don spreads widely over the floodplain, especially in the lower reaches. The river freezes in late November – early December. Ice keeps from 140 days in the upper reaches to 30–90 days downstream.

Near the city of Kalach, the Don bend approaches the Volga at a distance of up to 80 km. At this point, the rivers are connected by the navigable Volga-Don Canal.

Large cities of Russia, standing on the banks of the Don – Voronezh, Rostov-on-Don, Tsimlyansk, Azov. A hydroelectric power station was built on the Don River and the Tsimlyansk reservoir was formed, as well as a system of hydroelectric facilities with dams and locks, which makes it possible to maintain the depth necessary for navigation.

There are 67 species of fish in the Don. The most common are small fish species: perch, roach, rudd, asp, and among medium and large species (bream, pike perch, catfish, pike), large specimens are now becoming less common. Pollution of the river leads to a decrease in its fish stocks.

Yenisei

Yenisei is the largest river in Siberia, the most abundant in Russia. The length of the river from the confluence of the Big Yenisei and the Small Yenisei near the city of Kyzyl is 3487 km, from the sources of the Small Yenisei – 4102 km, from the sources of the Big Yenisei – 4092 km. It flows through the territory of Mongolia (Small Yenisei), Tuva, Krasnoyarsk Territory. The river flows into the Kara Sea.

Its name comes, according to different versions, from the ancient Kyrgyz “Ene-Sai” – mother river, or from the Evenk “Ionessi” – big water.

Flowing almost strictly along the meridian from south to north, the Yenisei divides the territory of Russia in half. In the upper reaches, the river is surrounded on all sides by mountains, and in the middle and lower reaches, its channel serves as the border between lowland Western Siberia and the Central Siberian Plateau.

Large tributaries – Abakan, Angara, Podkamennaya Tunguska, Nizhnyaya Tunguska, etc. Of the almost hundred rivers that flow into the Yenisei, six are larger than the Oka, and the longest – the Nizhnyaya Tunguska – is only slightly shorter than the Volga. Yenisei has a mixed type of food. At the same time, snow nutrition predominates – 50%, rain – 36%, underground – 14%. A feature of the Yenisei is the autumn ice drift.

Yenisei is the most important waterway of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, where navigation is possible from Sayanogorsk to the mouth. Cargo flows go from Krasnoyarsk to Dudinka. On the river, the timber is floated on rafts. The main ports and marinas are Abakan, Krasnoyarsk, Strelka, Maklakovo, Yeniseisk, Turukhansk, Igarka, Ust-Port. Sea vessels go all the way to Igarka.

The most powerful hydroelectric power stations in Eurasia are located on the Yenisei: Sayano-Shushenskaya and Krasnoyarskaya. However, their appearance caused serious environmental problems: during the construction of the Krasnoyarsk reservoir, valuable land was flooded, which led to a reduction in fish resources and the resettlement of a huge number of local residents.

On the right bank of the Yenisei, the Krasnoyarsk Stolby National Park is founded, famous for its unique cliffs.

More than 40 species of fish live in the river, such as sterlet, sturgeon, herring, nelma, omul, muksun and many others.

Indigirka

Indigirka is a river in Yakutia. Length – 1726 km, basin area – 360 thousand square meters. km. It originates at the confluence of the small rivers Khastakh and Taryn-Yuryakh in the Oymyakon highland. It flows into the East Siberian Sea.

According to the structure of the valley and channel, the speed of the current, the Indigirka is divided into two sections: the upper mountain (640 km) and the lower plain (1086 km). In the mountainous area, it flows northwest along the lowest part of the Oymyakon highland, turning north, cuts through a number of mountain ranges of the Chersky ridge. The width of the valley here is from 1 to 20 km, the channel is pebbly, the current speed is 2–3 m/s. When crossing the Chemalginsky Range, the Indigirka flows in a deep gorge and forms rapids, the speed of the flow here is 4 m/s. This area is unsuitable even for rafting. In the upper course, the Indigirka receives the main tributaries: on the left – Kuidusun, Kuente, Elgi, on the right – Nera.

In the lower section, the Indigirka valley widens, the channel is replete with shoals and spits, in some places it breaks into branches. Having rounded the Momsky Range, the river flows through a low-lying plain. The main tributaries of the lower reaches: on the right – Moma, Badyarikha, on the left – Uyandina.

At 130 km from the mouth of the Indigirka, it breaks into branches (the main ones: the Russian mouth, the Sredny – the largest, the Kolyma), forming a delta. The mouth of the Indigirka is separated from the sea by a shallow bar.

Indigirka is fed by rain and melt (snow, glacier) waters. The flood occurs in the warm season. The fluctuation range of the river level is 7.5–11 m, the highest levels are in June – early July. The river freezes in October, opens in late May – early June.

Navigable from the mouth of the Moma River (1086 km). During the period of Arctic navigation in August-September, oil products, coal, building materials, industrial and food products enter the Arctic through the Northern Sea Route. The main piers on the river: Khonuu, Druzhina, Chokurdakh, Tabor. Gold is mined in the Indigirka basin, they are engaged in reindeer breeding, collecting mammoth bones, and fishing.

Indigirka is rich in fish; vendace, whitefish, muksun, nelma, omul, and whitefish are fished.

Irtysh

The Irtysh is one of the largest rivers in Russia, the left one, the main tributary of the Ob. The length of the Irtysh is 4248 km. The basin area is more than 1.5 million square meters. km. For 618 km from its source, the Irtysh flows through Chinese territory.

The source of the Irtysh is located on the glacial slopes of the Mongolian Altai Range at an altitude of 2500 m above sea level. Rapidly descending from the mountains, the river in the upper reaches erodes the banks with force, which is reflected in its name: in translation from the Turkic word “Irtysh” means “digger”.

Downstream the Irtysh is interrupted by a cascade of hydroelectric power stations (Bukhtarminskaya, Shulbinskaya, Ust-Kamenogorskaya, etc.). Further, the river flows within the Omsk region and has all the characteristic features of a flat river. The flow velocity is 0.5–1.5 m/s.

The Irtysh forms numerous branches and channels. As a result of the erosion of bedrock, steep walls 30–40 m high are formed, the so-called Irtysh mountains.

The width of the river bed is 600–700 m, and in the north – up to 1000 m. in summer and autumn, water is fed from marshy tributaries of the river. In spring, the river level rises by 5–6 m, and in some years by 8–9 m.m.

From the middle of October to the end of November the Irtysh freezes over. The ice begins to melt only from mid-April. The thickness of the ice on the river near Omsk in March reaches more than 1 m.

The Irtysh is an important transport artery that has linked the south of Siberia and the north of Kazakhstan since ancient times. Navigation on the river lasts 130 days. A large number of small reservoirs have been created on the river for fish farming and recreation of people.

The water of the Irtysh is polluted mainly by oil products and household waste.

In Omsk, on the left bank of the Irtysh, there is a natural park “Bird’s Harbor”, which is located on the path of bird migration.

23 species of fish live in the Irtysh, of which 17 are commercial: Siberian sturgeon, sterlet, nelma, muksun, ide, carp, bream, roach, rudd, crucian carp, pike, perch, pike perch, ruff, burbot.

Kama

Kama is a river in the European part of Russia, the left and largest tributary of the Volga. Length – 1805 km, basin area – 507 thousand square meters. km. It originates in the central part of the Verkhnekamsk Upland from 4 springs near the village of Kuliga in the Udmurt Republic.

In the language of the Udmurts, Kama means “long, big river”, Komizyryan means “bright river”, Khanty means “clear, clean river”.

In the upper reaches (from the source to the mouth of the Pilva River) the channel is unstable and meandering, oxbow lakes have formed on the floodplain. After the confluence of the Vishera River, it becomes high-water. There are many islands in this area, there are shoals and rifts. In the lower reaches of the Kama flows in a wide valley, the width of the channel is 450-1200 m, here it breaks into branches. Below the mouth of the Vyatka River, it flows into the Kama Bay of the Kuibyshev Reservoir.

There are many small rivers less than 10 km long in the Kama river basin. All the right tributaries of the Kama (Kosa, Urolka, Kondas, Inva, Obva) and part of the left ones (Veslyana, Lunya, Leman, South Keltma) are flat rivers flowing from the north. Mountain, cold and swift rivers originate in the Ural Mountains and flow into the Kama River on the left (Vishera, Yaiva, Kosva, Chusovaya and a number of their tributaries).

The river is fed mainly by snow, as well as underground and rain. Level fluctuation range – up to 8 m. Freeze from the beginning of November in the upper reaches and the end of November in the lower reaches until April. Spring ice drift lasts from 2–3 to 10–15 days.

Kama is navigable to the village of Kerchevsky (966 km), and to the “high water” – even further 600 km. There are three reservoirs on the river with three hydroelectric power stations: Kamskoye, below it – Votkinskoye, behind it – Nizhnekamskoye.

On the banks of the river there are the cities of Solikamsk, Berezniki, Levshino, Perm, Krasnokamsk, Chaikovsky, Sarapul, Kambarka, Naberezhnye Chelny, Chistopol.

There are many sanatoriums and recreation centers along the banks of the Kama.

Sterlet, sturgeon, bream, carp, crucian carp, asp, chub, bleak, zander, perch, ruffe, pike, burbot, catfish, etc. live in the river. Taimen and grayling are found in the upper reaches of the Kama.

The prestigious Vorobyovy Gory school is evicted from the Palace of Pioneers

2 min. to read

Parents are furious – at the beginning of the summer they were assured that this would not happen.

Vorobyovy Gory Lyceum is one of the most prestigious schools in Moscow, equal in popularity to other star educational institutions like Intellectual or 57th. Classes here follow a special program and experimental methods, and the school day is sometimes very different from what can be seen in ordinary secondary schools. The place where classes are held is also unusual – the Palace of Pioneers on Sparrow Hills, which is an architectural monument.

It is precisely in it, in fact, that the reason for the current conflict between the parents of students, on the one hand, and the management of the lyceum and the Palace of Pioneers itself, on the other. The fact that the architectural monument on Kosygin Street was to undergo survey work, including “shoveling and chasing”, was known at the beginning of summer – after the school year ended. However, it was then that parents were assured that there were no plans to move lyceum classes before the second half of 2020. Literally a day before the new school year, they were told the exact opposite – elementary and secondary school classes would begin the school year in buildings on Fotieva Street (in the Gagarinsky District) and Donskaya Street (in the Shabolovka District). This caused a sharp reaction from the parents, many of whom at one time even specially moved in order to live within walking distance from the lyceum.

“Parents, including me, are categorically not satisfied with this,” the mother of one of the students told Moskvich Mag, “the lyceum classes of the palace were created precisely as a symbiosis of school and additional education. Many subjects that children study as part of the school curriculum are taught by teachers who also lead circles, that is, they can give children more extensive knowledge and in the most interesting way. The transfer of the lyceum from the palace destroys this symbiosis. Therefore, de facto, it was not about the transfer of the lyceum, but about its destruction.

The palace employees working in the buildings on Shabolovka are not happy about the move. “Mugs on Donskaya Street are not being liquidated, but, apparently, they will be reduced. And for us, teachers, the appearance of teachers, methodologists and children was a shock today … it was especially unpleasant when I walked along the corridor and they told me: “Give us the key to your classroom – now the lyceum is being settled there,” says the teacher of the biological laboratory of the Palace of Pioneers on Shabolovka . – We collected everything with our own hands with the guys – we designed collections, placed them in showcases, made labels. Most of the fees are ours. It is a pity, but both we and the lyceum students have become victims, hostages of this situation and the completely incomprehensible policy of the leadership.”

The competition for research and restoration (it should be the first since 1962) in the building on Sparrow Hills was announced in June, and the winner began work on August 23. At the same time, as the parents of the students point out in their Facebook group, for some reason no one is going to resettle the circles working in the palace – apparently, their visitors will not be able to interfere with chiseling and gating.

“On the twenty-eighth of August, I talked to several employees of the palace. Their information was even more gloomy, – says the interlocutor of Moskvich Mag, – the administration informed them that the palace would be closed altogether soon. A vast territory with a park in a prestigious area has long haunted developers, so the “transfer of the lyceum” seems to be just the first step towards the start of building up the palace territory with commercial facilities. They simply decided to start with the lyceum in order to prevent the consolidation of protest among all the children and parents who visit the palace, including as an institution of additional education.

At the time of writing, the parents demanded that the move be cancelled.

Atomic strike echo. Sakhalin.Info

09:35 10 August 2021.

Valentin Sokolov

Weekly, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk

August 6 and 9 are celebrated in Japan as the days of the victims of the atomic bombings of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The tragedy occurred in 1945, but the memory of those terrible events will always live in the minds of not only the Japanese people, but of all mankind.

Japan, as the only country in the world that has experienced the atomic bombing and its consequences, like no one else in the world is trying to pursue a policy of a nuclear-free world. At 19In 71, in the Land of the Rising Sun, the Three Non-Nuclear Principles were approved – not to have, not to produce and not to import nuclear weapons. The mistakes made during World War II must not be repeated.

Every year on August 6 and 9, mourning events are held in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, at which the head of the Japanese government speaks. The speech of Japanese Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide on August 6, 2021 at the ceremony on the occasion of the 76th anniversary of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima caused a mixed reaction in society. In his official speech at the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, Premier Suga released a whole paragraph from the annual text. An abbreviated piece of text reads as follows: “Our country is the only country that has suffered from the military use of nuclear energy, and like no other country in the world understands the inhumanity of nuclear weapons. And therefore we consider it important to constantly make more and more efforts aimed at implementing the principle of a” nuclear-free world “. Subsequently, Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide apologized, but such a demarche of the head of government was perceived painfully by the public. Witnesses of those terrible events, then they were children, are still alive. The understanding of the horror of the consequences of the use of atomic weapons against humanity is still alive in Japanese society.

***

Research on the splitting of the atom began before World War II in countries such as France, Great Britain and Germany. The first country that managed to create (and subsequently use) an atomic bomb was the United States. The US military’s atomic weapons program began in 1939. The then US President Franklin Roosevelt was presented with a letter from the physicist Albert Einstein, who since 1933, with the Nazis coming to power in Germany, had been in exile in the United States. In his letter, the world famous scientist reported that ongoing nuclear research in Europe suggests that the use of nuclear energy for military purposes is quite possible. This thought interested the American leadership. In addition, at that time, American intelligence found that in Nazi Germany, research on the splitting of the atom was being carried out with might and main, for which the “Uranium Society” was created specifically.

Since 1940, a program to study the use of atomic energy for military purposes has been going on in Great Britain under the name “Tube Elloys”. Subsequently, this program was absorbed by the American “Manhattan Project” – a secret organization created on August 13, 1942. British nuclear scientists were lured to the US. For the implementation of the Manhattan Project, huge money for those times was allocated – $ 2 billion, about 150 thousand people participated in the project. All this testified to the serious approach with which the Americans approached this issue. The Americans were in a hurry, because if the Germans had managed to create an atomic bomb before anyone else, nothing would have stopped Hitler.

Since 1943, research activities within the framework of the project have been transferred to the village of Los Alamos, New Mexico. Los Alamos was classified, a scientific center was created there, where such venerable nuclear scientists as Niels Bohr and Enrico Fermi worked.

The Japanese did not lag behind in nuclear research either. Knowing that work was underway in Germany in the field of atom splitting, and having heard about the American “Manhattan Project”, the Japanese military decided to join the race for the possession of atomic weapons. In addition, the situation on the fronts of the Pacific theater of operations left much to be desired, and a superweapon was required in order to take the initiative into their own hands. So, at 19In 43, the project “Ni” was approved – according to the initial hieroglyph of the name of its leader – Professor Nishina Yoshio. However, the Japanese faced such a problem as the lack of uranium ore, the necessary material for the development of atomic weapons. They turned to their German allies for help, and they reluctantly agreed in the end. At the end of 1943, one ton of uranium ore was sent to Japan on a German submarine. However, off the coast of Malaya, the boat was hit by American warships and sunk. Germany did not help her East Asian allies anymore, she had no time for this, since the situation on the eastern fronts was deteriorating catastrophically. Attempts by the Japanese military to create their own superweapon ended in nothing.

As for the German developments of the atomic bomb themselves, by that time the Germans had managed to come to the conclusion that it would take many years to create nuclear weapons, and they stopped paying attention to the project. Instead, they focused on the development of ballistic missiles, in which they were very successful, creating V-1 and V-2 projectiles. These missiles successfully bombed London and even planned to strike at the United States. But Nazi Germany was already doomed, the ring around the Nazi lair was shrinking tighter and tighter.

In July 1944, American troops captured the Mariana Islands, which were under the control of the Japanese Empire. The islands became a springboard from which “super-fortresses” — B-29 bombers — flew out to bombard Japan. They were capable of climbing 10,000 meters, while Japanese fighters could not rise above 8,000 meters. On the night of March 10, 1945, over 100,000 civilians of the capital were killed as a result of incendiary bombings on Tokyo from three hundred “super-fortresses”, a quarter of the housing stock was destroyed. In just one week, 11,000 tons of firebombs were dropped on major Japanese cities.

In May 1945, the first units of the 509th Composite Aviation Regiment arrived on the Mariana Island of Tinian, which was given a special task. President Truman, who succeeded Roosevelt (died April 12), sought to use atomic bombs against Japan as soon as possible. The reason for this was the announcement on May 28 that by August 8 the Soviet Army, faithful to its allied duty, would be ready to enter the war against Japan. The Americans needed to take the initiative in the war against Japan. The atomic bomb is a trump card. And as a cover for using it against civilians, the Pentagon used the fact that a huge number of American soldiers are dying in the battles for Okinawa, and this must be stopped as soon as possible, forcing the Japanese to lay down their arms.

On July 16, 1945, in the Death Valley, in the town of Alamogordo, 500 kilometers from Los Alamos, at 5:30 a.m., an atomic bomb was tested for the first time in history. The test was successful. Just on these days, the Potsdam Conference was held with the participation of Truman, Churchill and Stalin, it was for this that the Americans timed the test explosion. Satisfied with the news of a successful explosion, Truman was quick to hint to the Soviet leader that the United States had a new superweapon. However, Stalin did not react to this in any way. He was already informed by his intelligence about what had happened.

17 Japanese cities were considered as targets for the atomic bombing: Tokyo (Tokyo Bay), Kawasaki, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Hiroshima, Kure, Yahata, Kokura, Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi, Kumamoto, Fukuoka, Nagasaki and Sasebo. Subsequently, the choice was reduced to four – Hiroshima, Kokura (alternate target – the nearby city of Nagasaki), Kyoto and Niigata. The fact that there was an American POW camp in Nagasaki did not bother the Pentagon.

6 August 1945 years ago, at seven o’clock in the morning, a single B-29 bomber appeared in the sky over Hiroshima. No one paid attention to him, since the inhabitants of Japan were already accustomed to enemy raids. But no one was alarmed by the fact that the plane appeared alone. At 08:14, the uranium bomb “Kid”, weighing less than five tons, but with a capacity of 20,000 tons of conventional explosives, was dropped on Hiroshima. In 47 seconds, while she was flying down, the B-29, having turned around sharply, managed to retire to the maximum distance.

On August 7, US President Harry Truman said: “We did this in order to shorten the agony of war, in order to save the lives of thousands and thousands of young Americans.”

70 thousand Hiroshima residents who died in the first seconds from the explosion, and many tens of thousands who died from the consequences, were sacrificed.

On August 8, a 4.5-ton Tolstyak plutonium bomb was loaded onto a B-29 bomber. On this day, the Soviet Union declared war on Japan. On August 9, at 2:49 a.m., a US Air Force Bockscar bomber with an atomic bomb on board took off from an airfield on Tinian Island and headed for the Japanese island of Kyushu. Objective #1 was the “Armorment Depot and Kokura city limits”, the alternate target was the city of Nagasaki. There was smoke over the city of Kokura, and, having circled the city three times, the plane headed for Nagasaki. At 10:58, visibility over Nagasaki was also poor, cloudy, fuel was running out, and the crew was already considering the idea of ​​returning to base. But at 11:02 a break suddenly appeared in the clouds. Bomb “Fat Man” rushed down…

The explosion occurred at an altitude of 500 meters. At the epicenter, the temperature of the fire reached from 3000 to 4000 degrees, within a kilometer radius – 1800 degrees, within a kilometer and a half – over 600 degrees. People were burned alive. The shock wave within a kilometer from the epicenter reached a speed of 170 meters per second. People were simply blown away by this terrible hurricane. The third destructive factor of an atomic strike was radiation. Over 70,000 people died instantly during the explosion.

For some time after the bombing, the Americans denied the presence of radioactive radiation as a consequence of an atomic explosion, but it was difficult to hide the truth. Journalists, including foreign ones, visited Hiroshima and saw with their own eyes the full horror of the consequences of the atomic explosion. However, the censorship of the American occupation authorities silenced all media. At the same time, the Americans were studying the medical and biological consequences of radioactive radiation, for which a commission was placed in Hiroshima to study the consequences of an atomic explosion. In a specially built clinic, people stricken with radiation sickness were examined, but they were not treated, but only those who were already doomed were identified. They were left in the hospital. Not even the patients themselves were needed, but their corpses. For anatomical examination.

German scientists were involved in the creation of the atomic bomb, who, under Hitler, were closely involved in this issue. Former employees of the research centers of the German Ministry of Aviation were also actively involved in the work. Former adherents of the Nazi regime were freely brought to the United States, which, in principle, was prohibited by American law. But all these people were needed for a cause of national importance. Even during the hostilities on the territory of the agonizing Nazi Germany, the American intelligence services were hunting for materials developed by German nuclear scientists. By hook or by crook, they were literally kidnapped from under the noses of their own allies. The American military with great joy became the owners of the drawings of the German V-1 and V-2 projectiles.

In the same way, the Americans helped Japanese war criminals from the infamous Unit 731 avoid a military tribunal. In exchange for immunity, they handed over to the American side data on experiments on people, which, of course, also went into action.

The Pentagon did not particularly hide the fact that the atomic strikes on Japan were caused by the need to make it clear to the Soviet Union that only they intended to rule in the post-war world. Of course, the nuclear attacks on Japanese cities pursued, among other things, the goal of studying the effects of the military use of a fissile atom, but first of all it was a political action. Even yesterday, an ally in the anti-Hitler coalition – the Soviet Union – posed a threat to their security for the countries of the Atlantic bloc – the USA and Great Britain. That is why already at the end of 19For 45 years, US military circles began to consider the issue of inflicting atomic strikes on the USSR. 20 cities were selected on the territory of the Soviet state with the maximum concentration of scientific centers, industrial enterprises and government agencies. This list includes: Moscow, Leningrad, Gorky, Kuibyshev, Sverdlovsk, Novosibirsk, Omsk, Saratov, Kazan, Baku, Tashkent, Chelyabinsk, Nizhny Tagil, Magnitogorsk, Perm, Tbilisi, Novokuznetsk, Grozny, Irkutsk, Yaroslavl. It was assumed that Great Britain would also take part in a nuclear attack on the USSR, and aircraft with nuclear weapons would take off from England. France and Turkey were also to take part in the aggression against the USSR. It was planned to apply 196 (!) atomic bombs, that is, the entire nuclear arsenal that the United States then had.

In 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was created, which included the United States, Great Britain, Canada, France, Italy and other countries. The target of this military alliance was the Soviet Union. The number of nuclear strike targets on the territory of the USSR increased to 70. They were going to drop 8 atomic bombs on Moscow alone. Military operations were planned to begin on January 1, 1950. Later, the start of hostilities was postponed to 1957, and the number of cities that were to be subjected to atomic bombing increased to 100; they were supposed to drop 300 atomic bombs. At the same time, it was planned to introduce 164 NATO divisions into the territory of the USSR.

However, on August 29, 1949, the first Soviet atomic bomb was tested in Semipalatinsk. This cooled the ardor of NATO.

The second half of the 20th century was characterized by a nuclear arms race, and the Cold War repeatedly threatened to erupt into nuclear hell. In the post-war history of the world, the number of nuclear explosions in the world – both air and underground – is 2056. The USSR and its successor, the Russian Federation, carried out over 700 tests. The US has conducted over 1,000 nuclear tests. In our time, North Korea has also joined the nuclear race.

To understand how all this can turn out for humanity, it is enough to recall the tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. For this, there are two days in the year, two terrible dates – August 6 and 9.

The young man nodded.

– I know. My brother.

– Oh, so you knew? Why did they come instead of a brother?

– My brother Joe Kelly has died.

– Died? But when? Why didn’t you notify the consulate?

– He died five years ago.

The Consul was proud of his equanimity. He studied the paper, remembering that it came to him on Friday evening, when he was already leaving …

– Well, Mr. Kelly, it looks like there are a lot of mistakes here. After all, it’s a fairly common surname. And why did you decide that the summons was for your brother?

– Is there a date on it?

– Let’s go to my cottage, have tea and cake. — We climbed to the railroad, the wind in the face.

— Let the wind blow through you.

I felt weak in my legs, as if my body was flying away. And at the same time, tension in the groin – I got up. He stopped me, grabbing my hand, turned me to him, looking at the protruding fly.

— Date? But she only came on Friday evening.

– Yes, but the date is there?

The Consul looked at the paper. Date smeared, illegible. In fact, the consul had to admit that there was something odd about the summons. It seemed to be a photocopy, like an old document from an abandoned attic; it was only said that passport number 32, issued to a certain Joe Kelly, born on February 6, 19Age 44, San Francisco, CA, held at Hotel Madrid due to unpaid room bill (amount undisclosed), signed by manager J.

“Over there,” he pointed to the other end of the field.

We rolled down a steep gravel-strewn slope, crossed a field to a fence with a gate. It was an ordinary cottage, with log walls and a wooden roof. We entered through the back door into the kitchen with a wooden table and kerosene stoves. He turned on the stove, brewed coffee in a blue saucepan, poured it into white mugs. He put a jar of cookies on the table. The kitchen was quiet except for the biscuits crunching on our teeth.

10 Most Common Interview Questions and How to Answer

Looking for a new job and applying for open positions can pay off once applicants land an interview. The next step lies in preparing for interview questions and crafting expert answers to gain a job offer. Since most interviews follow a standard format with the most common interview questions, any professional needs to know how they would answer these questions before their interview. 

You’ve finally landed an interview for a job that seems like a great fit. The next step is preparing for the interview and setting yourself up for success.

Part of crucial interview preparation is considering what questions will come up and how a desirable candidate would answer them.

In this story, we talk about some of the most common interview questions, what the questions are asking and how you should craft your answer.

1. Tell Me About Yourself

Candidates likely hear this question early during an interview because it allows them to talk about themselves and why they are better than other candidates.  

The interviewer wants to know why you are a good fit for the role beyond what is on the resume. As such, candidates should answer the question by sharing enough personal and professional information to begin the conversation, but not so much that it answers every question the interviewer may ask.

While you may include personal information, it may not always be appropriate for every interview type. 

Using the past-present-future formula to answer this question is a good idea. 

Example answer for new college graduates: “Currently, I’m working as a retail assistant at XYZ store. My work tasks include restocking the makeup department shelves, assisting with inventory and maintaining store cleanliness, which all require great attention to detail and patience. Before this role, I graduated with a psychology degree from ABC University. I’ve been looking for a position in healthcare where I can learn more about patient care, empower others and offer help in the community. I want to find a role that will help provide a strong foundation for my future healthcare career.”

Example answer for someone with more experience: “I have been working as a senior data analyst at XYZ company for two years. In this role, I provide insights into our customer base and assist with developing solutions to any concerns regarding our customers. Before this, I held other lower-level data analyst roles for several years before earning my master’s degree. At this stage in my career, I am ready to take on more challenging work as a team leader and hone my technical skills.”

2. What Interests You About This Role?

A popular strategy focuses on a specific area within the company that legitimately interests the candidate, such as its history or reputation. 

Researching information about the company and role before the interview shows a candidate has a high interest in the role. 

Example answer focused on the company: “I wanted to apply for this role because I have wanted to work at XYZ company for years. The recent developments that XYZ company has added to our industry and the historically well-renowned leadership here make it a desirable opportunity. Looking at the previous projects from this company, I think my skills and education background would suit this position and organization well.”

Example answer focused on the role: “This role is exactly what I’ve been looking for because it strongly emphasizes user experience and innovation, which is extremely exciting. I always wanted more opportunities to innovate and brainstorm solutions in my previous roles, so I think this role and the knowledgeable team at XYZ company could help me learn new skills and strategies while also progressing in my career.”

3. What Are Your Biggest Strengths?

Employers ask this to see if candidates have the qualifications for the position. Candidates must mention their greatest strengths that apply to the job posting and role to ensure they are set apart from other candidates.  

Diana YK Chan, an executive career and confidence coach, tells candidates preparing for interviews, “Job interviews are opportunities to showcase why you’re the best candidate to hire. Employers want to know what makes you awesome and whether you can thrive in the job. It’s important to highlight your assets that prove you’re a great fit… Take the time to map out your answers and you’ll be well prepared to talk about your core assets in any interview.” 

Using this approach, list potential strengths that the job posting seems to mention. Then, determine which skills you have that may match those skills, including hard or soft skills or past work background. Narrow this list to a few solid skills, and plan to use those in your answer.

Example answer: “I pride myself on my exceptional customer service skills. I have years of experience as a customer service specialist, and during this time, it has been necessary to understand and resolve customer concerns efficiently. With customer service comes problem-solving skills, decision-making skills and professionalism, all of which have helped me become a better communicator and team member.”

4. What Are Your Biggest Weaknesses?

Mention weaknesses in a frame of positivity. Instead of making the weaknesses seem like flaws, take this question to show the hiring manager that you are a good learner.

This is another instance to show the interviewer why a candidate is the best fit for the position. With this answer, a candidate may want to focus on their credentials, ability to take on challenges or desire to learn. 

Example answer: “I have extreme attention to detail, but there are times when this turns into perfectionism. I have caught myself checking spreadsheets over more than necessary or taking too long to write emails because I want everything to look perfect. I’ve learned to manage my time better and have continuously worked on gauging how much time to spend on individual tasks to ensure I’m managing my schedule and still ensuring high-quality work.

5. Where Do You See Yourself in Five Years?

While you may not know where you want to be in five years, avoid saying “I don’t know” when an interviewer asks this question. 

Show that this job aligns with all ambitions by discussing:

  • Professional plans or goals
  • Desired skills within the industry
  • How this role aligns with those intentions

Example answer: “In five years, I would love to become a project manager. I want to explore the skills necessary in a leadership role and gain experience working with major accounts. I would love to learn more about the opportunities available in this role that would help me learn about some of those skills and responsibilities.”

6. What is Your Ideal Work Environment? 

Interviewers ask this question to see if your preferences and temperament align with the company. 

It is essential to answer this question honestly but do a little research beforehand to see what answer is most beneficial to the candidate.  

For example, they may consider a candidate’s personality, values or cultural fit.

Example answer: “I believe this environment would be an ideal work environment for my style, as I enjoy being part of a team. I do better in groups when team members support each other or share ideas. Although I also work well alone when I need to focus on a task, I enjoy being around like-minded people and growing my skills with the help of others.”

7. What is a Major Challenge You’ve Faced?

This question represents an opportunity to elaborate on work history. 

The answer provided here can make a candidate appear very impressive. It is important to think of an applicable challenge and the outcome of reactions to the challenge before the interview to showcase skills.

Be sure the answer covers future potential, how you respond to stress and relevant personality attributes based on the job posting.

Example answer: “In a previous role, I had a manager who recognized my strong work ethic and increased my responsibilities. Eventually, however, this increased responsibility proved too much as I started to fall behind and miss deadlines. I told my manager about my concerns. We hired another person to help with the additional tasks, which increased my productivity overall. Now, I have learned to admit when help is necessary sooner rather than later.”

8. What Are Your Salary Expectations?

It may seem complicated to answer this question without making it seem like the entire reason you want this role is for the salary. However, candidates should be sure they don’t sell themselves short (or ask for too much). 

Research the market and industry norms before the interview to determine a reasonable salary based on your job title, experience and skills, location and employer. 

Example answer: “I’m flexible and open to discussing salary for this position. I have significant skills and experience in this field, which I believe adds much value to my candidacy. I understand that similar positions pay between $50,000 to $75,000, so I would anticipate the salary for this role falls on the higher end of that range due to my background and what I believe I can bring to this company.

9. Can You Explain the Gap in Your Resume?

Employment gaps refer to periods in a professional career when a person didn’t have employment. These gaps may occur voluntarily or involuntarily, and they happen for numerous reasons, such as:

  • Becoming a caregiver
  • Layoffs or closures 
  • Taking medical leave
  • Focusing on personal development
  • Relocation

Regardless of the reason, an interviewer may ask a candidate about their employment gaps. When this happens, it is important to be honest. Explain the gaps in employment but keep the answer brief. 

Example answer: “During that time, I traveled for volunteer opportunities, learned a new language and spent time with my family. I chose to take this time to focus on my wellness and personal development. Now, I am ready to return to the workforce.

10. What Are Your Career Goals? 

Recruiters want to know if you plan to stay with the company for a long time or if you’d leave at the first sign of trouble. As such, this question wants to determine what career path candidates envision for themselves and how the role may fit into that plan.

Candidates should keep their answers focused on the current opportunity and reiterate that this job aligns with long-term plans.

Example answer: “I hope to work for a company like this one to build my sales skills and work with a team that strongly focuses on customer service. Later in my career, I would love to manage a team to help them become stronger sales representatives and learn how to take on leadership responsibilities within this field.”

How to Nail Your Interview

Interviews are daunting for many but preparing ahead of time will increase a candidate’s confidence. Here are a few tips for nailing that next interview:

  • Do plenty of research on the role and company.
  • Consider your most marketable skills and experiences related to the position.
  • Draft and practice answers to common interview questions.
  • Prepare for small talk before interview questions begin.
  • Study the job posting and keep important words from it in mind. 
  • Practice your body language and gestures.

Preparing in advance for some of the common interview questions you may be asked will enable you to put in the best performance on the day

Employers need to understand why you want the job, why you’re the best person for the role, and how well your personality will fit into the organisation. How you answer interview questions will be the key factor in their decision.

What you say is obviously the most important thing but the way you answer also plays a part. Confidence and enthusiasm are particularly important. While you can’t know exactly what you’ll be asked on the day, here are some of the job interview questions you’re most likely to face…

Can you tell me a bit about yourself?

This question, usually the opener, tops the list of typical interview questions. It’s incredibly important, as you can provide the interviewer with a great first impression. Preparation is important, but your answer shouldn’t sound rehearsed. Focus on your skills, characteristics and successes, and how they make you a strong candidate in terms of the job description.

Keep your answer to less than five minutes. Generally, begin with an overview of your highest qualification and greatest achievements, before running through your work experience and giving examples of the skills that you’ve developed. If your work history is limited, focus on the areas of academia that you’ve most enjoyed and how this relates to the job.

Why do you want to work here? 

Demonstrate that you’ve researched the role by discussing the skills and interests that led you to apply. Draw on what you enjoy – use examples from your academic, professional or extra-curricular life that suggest you’re strongly motivated and can relate closely to the organisation. Talk about particular aspects of the job advert that enticed you.

Similar questions include:

  • What do you know about the company?
  • What motivated you to apply for this job?

What are your strengths?

Pick three or four attributes desired by the employer in the person specification, such as teamwork, leadership, initiative and lateral thinking. Whichever strengths you pick, you must be able to evidence them with examples.

Similar questions include:

  • How would a friend describe you?
  • How would you describe your personality?
  • What are three positive things your last boss would say about you?

What are your weaknesses?

You can positively frame your answer by picking characteristics that you’ve taken steps to improve. For example, self-confidence issues could have previously led to difficulty accepting criticism – but tell the interviewer that you’ve learned to embrace constructive feedback as it allows for self-improvement. Alternatively, discuss how you overcame a potential downside of your greatest strength. For example, you might have had to learn how to cope with conflict if you’re a great team worker.

Never say that you have no weaknesses, that you’re a perfectionist, or that you work too hard. These are clichéd responses that portray you as arrogant, dishonest or lacking in self-awareness.

Similar questions include:

  • How do you respond to criticism?
  • How would your worst enemy describe you?

How do you prioritise your work?

The employer wants to know whether you’re organised, can meet deadlines and are able to handle multiple projects at the same time. The best way to answer this question is to provide examples of times when you’ve juggled a number of different tasks and still delivered them to a high quality and on time. These examples can come from previous jobs, university study or your extra-curricular activities. Give some detail about what methods you use to keep track of your progress and productivity.

How would you improve our product/service?

Your knowledge and understanding of what the company does will prove invaluable. Don’t be too critical of the product or service – you want to work there after all – but at the same time, don’t say you wouldn’t change anything. The interviewer wants to hear some ideas.

Try to come up with one or two things that you think could be improved. The key is to offer an explanation of how and why you’d make these changes. Make sure you focus on relevant areas that you would have some responsibility for if you got the job.

Can you give an example of a time when you had to cope with a difficult situation?

This question is one of the most popular competency-based interview questions. It allows the employer to assess how calm and reliable you are under pressure. Outline an instance where you’ve coped with an unexpected problem, discussing how you reorganised and managed your time. Think about times where you’ve had to meet tight deadlines or handle difficult people.

Similar questions include:

  • Give an example of a time when you had to cope under pressure.
  • Give an example of a time when you’ve handled a major crisis.
  • How do you manage your time and prioritise tasks?
  • How do you respond to stress and pressure?

What has been your greatest achievement?

Ideally, your answer should evidence skills relevant to the job – such as teamwork, initiative, communication, determination and organisation. For inspiration, think about a time when you’ve received an award, organised an event, learned something new or overcome a major fear. Always prepare several examples.

Avoid the achievement of graduating from university – this won’t distinguish you, unless you’ve had to deal with major difficulties such as illness or personal problems.

A similar question that you may be asked is ‘What are you most proud of in your working life?’

What are your goals?

This is your chance to show the recruiter that you’re ambitious and professionally determined. Talk enthusiastically about your realistic short and long-term targets, basing your answers on the employer, the industry and your skills and experiences.

Outline the various steps to your ideal job, but only in relation to the position that you’re applying for and the company’s career development offering. It’s vital that you explain how your goals make you valuable to the organisation. You could mention your knowledge of relevant professional bodies and qualifications or reveal that you’ve researched the career paths followed by other graduates.

A similar question is ‘What do you expect to be doing in five years’ time?’

What are your salary expectations?

This can be an uncomfortable question to answer, as you don’t want to undervalue yourself or give a figure so high that you rule yourself out of the job. If you decide to suggest a range, don’t make it too wide as it will appear as though you are avoiding the question. Instead, narrow it down and mention that you’re willing to be flexible and negotiate.

To prepare, check whether a salary or salary range is indicated in the job description and take that as your starting point. Then research similar roles to see what the average salary is across the industry or sector you want to work in. Job profiles will give you some examples.

If you’re already in work, you may have been asked for your current salary when you applied for the job. Since gradual progression is most common, the employer may be surprised if your expectations are either below or significantly higher than your current salary.

Do you have any questions?

Arriving with no questions will give a bad impression. Anything that you ask should cover the work itself or career development. Prepare questions in advance and remember to ask questions if the moment naturally arises during the actual interview. For some ideas, see 7 good questions to ask at an interview.

If you need further help, university careers and employability services provide practice interview sessions. It’s worth contacting them if you are a student or recent graduate.

Preparing for an interview – 25 simple steps

At the first meeting, you must immediately make a good impression: show intelligence, erudition, knowledge about the company and its products. You also need to know exactly how to emphasize that you are perfect for this job.

To help you get ready, we’ve compiled a list of 25 tips, from how to answer tough questions the right way to how to best pack your bag.

Dress appropriately and bring essentials

C Tip #1 Don’t forget the dress code. If you go to a company that has a strict dress code, you need to have a conservative look. However, if you are going to an interview at a start-up, a conservative appearance can get in the way: it will arouse suspicion from potential colleagues.

Do you know if there is a dress code? Perhaps you know someone who works at the company you want to get a job: he can tell you how employees usually dress. If there is no such acquaintance, go to the cafes located next to the company’s office and take a closer look at how people are dressed.

Tip #2 Make sure your suit is perfectly clean, ironed and fits well.

Tip #3 Don’t forget the little things: polish your boots, make sure all the seams are intact, and trim your nails. You may think that these are things that people do not pay attention to – but believe me, they are not at all!

Tip #4 Try to look your best: when you look better, you usually feel more confident. You may need a facial, a haircut, a shave, or even a new suit (see tip #2). Do not be stingy, all this will increase self-esteem, give confidence and allow you to get a dream job!

Tip #5 Make five copies of your resume. You never know how many people you will have to talk to, so you should always have your resume ready if anyone wants to look at it.

Tip #6 Prepare a list of recommendations. The corresponding section of your LinkedIn profile can also be used as a list of recommendations.

Tip #7 Get your interview essentials ready and put them in your bag. It should be large enough to fit the daily essentials and what you will need directly for the meeting with the employer: additional copies of the resume (see tip #5), notebook, pen, etc.

Tip #8 Disassemble your bag. If you have to dig through a pile of old candy wrappers, phone chargers, checks, and other junk to find your resume, you will look disorganized. Everything you need should be neatly folded and instantly available. The less rummaging through your bag, the better.

Do your homework

Tip #9 Spend a few hours researching a potential employer. Talk to friends and acquaintances who have worked or are working for the company of your choice, read the latest news, and of course, make the most of Google. Often, candidates view only what the company publishes on its website or social media. networks, without bothering to look deeper to find out what others are saying about the company. Having studied all the available information (including negative reviews), you will get an objective picture of a potential employer.

Tip #10 Find out what the culture of the company is and try to figure out how to get in tune with it. Start by browsing the corporate blog and Facebook page. Try to study individual employee blogs – this will help you understand what type of people prevail there. Twitter can also be a great resource because you can see what employees and executives are talking about. Do they feel free enough to crack a few jokes? Do they tweet messages about events happening in the company? Do they write about new launched products? Use what you read as a topic to start a conversation.

Tip #11 Be the customer. Whether you’re looking for a job in sales, marketing, web development, or whatever, you should try the company’s product before the interview (and ideally more than once). In this case, you will be able to offer a solution on how to improve this product and offer your services (of course, already as a hired employee).

Tip #12 Play detective. Try to figure out exactly who you will have to meet. Try to find as much information as possible about each potential interviewer. LinkedIn, Facebook, and Google can help you understand what people have done before, what their political views are, and what interests them most. And try to bring up only acceptable topics in the interview, as well as prepare a series of personalized questions.

Tip #13 Specify the format of the interview. Different companies use different formats, so you need to clarify in advance what you will have to face. Once you know something specific, you will need to take the time to prepare yourself for that particular option. This may give you some advantage.

Anticipate the questions to be asked and prepare possible answers

Tip #14 Take the time to think carefully about which skills, abilities, and references you have will be of most interest to the interviewer. Next – try to focus on them.

Advice #15 You absolutely must have a prepared and memorized answer to the question: “Tell me about yourself.” HR managers love to ask this question.

Advice #16 Don’t let the classic question, “What’s your biggest weakness?” lead you into a dead end. Proven Method: Think about the quality you are trying to improve. Let’s say you’ve never been great at public speaking, but over the past few years you’ve volunteered to speak in front of large numbers of people to improve your public speaking skills.

Tip #17 Don’t forget the numbers. Have statistics ready with which you can back up previous experience. Let’s say you can say that while working at the previous company, there was an 83% increase in revenue. The fact that you may not have done anything about it is of little importance – with a high degree of probability, it will not come down to details.

Tip #18 You will most likely be asked why you are interested in this position and company (if you can’t answer this question, you’re definitely not good). Make sure you know the answer: think about why you are interested in this position, find several factors that make it suitable for you. Example: “I enjoy working with clients because I love constant interaction with people. Helping them solve problems gives me job satisfaction.”

Tip #19 Do as many practice interviews as you can with your friend. For the hundredth time, it will become much easier to answer: “Tell me about yourself?” and “What will you bring to the company?”

Advice #20 As the interview draws to a close, they may be asked, “Do you have any questions for me?” Use a pre-prepared list, and your chances of getting a job will greatly increase.

Collect your thoughts

Advice #21 Try to restore a complete chronology of your career. When you know your history inside and out, it is much easier to give an example of how you solved this or that problem in the past.

Tip #22 Get ready for a technical test. Start preparing as early as possible. Use appropriate books: this will not only give you the necessary practice, but also help direct your thoughts in the right direction.

Tip #23 Use “standby phrases” to fill in the gaps. You can slowly repeat the question asked before answering, or say something like, “Yes, that’s a good question. [pause] I have to admit that I hadn’t thought about it before, however…I think that….”

Tip #24 Work on your body language. Be wary of what your posture, arm or leg position might tell people. For example, arms crossed means that you are closed to communication, and this does not contribute to a productive conversation.

Tip #25 Get enough sleep. Trite, but few things can ruin an interview more than lack of sleep.

Interview preparation | Moscow University named after S.Yu.Witte

So happy moment! Luck smiled at you, and you were invited for an interview. Undoubtedly, this is the most exciting stage in the job search. Sometimes, even very confident people experience real jitters when approaching the door of their potential employer, what can we say about a newcomer?! And the excitement manifests itself the stronger, the more desirable the job, the “cooler” the company and the less experience you have in this kind of communication.

What to do if the proposed work does not quite suit you? Just don’t miss out on the interview! This is a great workout, especially since you are not particularly at risk of losing something.

Well, when this is not possible, work on your own.

so what to do when you receive an invitation to such a coveted interview? Pack up and go? Stop, stop, not so soon! Here, too, preparation and skill are needed!

No matter what channels you use to look for a job, an interview is the most important and inevitable part of your job search. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for it thoroughly!

Appearance – greeted by clothes

Think carefully about what you will be wearing before the interview. Appearance and demeanor are of great importance and practically determine the first impression.

You will say, “Here’s another nonsense, what is convenient, I’ll go in that!”, And you will be very mistaken!

It happens that a person seems to be successful in everything – with a red diploma, sparkling knowledge, sociable, having many certificates and diplomas, and there are more than enough problems with employment. What is the reason? Imagine – summer, heat, city center, a solid company. A man comes for an interview in shorts, sneakers, a cap and a shirt with palm trees and a sea view … How do you like this picture? And it’s not worth saying that such a person will not be hired, and in some companies they may not even be allowed to enter the door. Well, if you pass the checkpoint, then get ready to hear a lot of comments about the appearance!

For example, if you are going to an interview at a financial institution or a bank, wear conservative business attire. If you’re going to an interview with a design or marketing firm, you can afford to dress more casually.

If showing up to work in jeans is considered par for the course at this firm, you can afford it when you start working, but it’s best not to show up to interviews in jeans and a sweater.

Travel time

Make sure in advance how to get to the company building and where to leave the car.

It is better to leave the house in advance.

Please arrive 15 minutes early. During this time, take a breath, and thereby show your respect for the interviewer. An hour before the appointed time, you should also not come, once again you will be nervous, looming, and your self-esteem may drop sharply in the eyes of the employer. Don’t go to extremes.

If you are still running late, try calling and letting you know you are late.

Dossier on yourself

You need to prepare your dossier and take it to every interview. Treat the collection of documents carefully! Put them in any clear or cardboard folder if you don’t have a decent business bag. But plastic bags are completely unacceptable – it is better to leave them for stores.

Documents that may be useful:

  1. Resume in expanded form (preferably in several copies), even if you have already sent it by fax or e-mail;
  2. Passport neat. If he is rather worn out by a hard life, buy a new cover for him, otherwise you may not get a very good impression of you;
  3. Diploma of Education . No matter how much employees of personnel services remind that a diploma is brought along with an application where there are grades, most people safely “forget” about this – and in vain. After all, in this way you can push the employer to thoughts that are completely unnecessary to you. Because it’s no secret that a diploma is often just bought in transit. And who needs such a specialist from the transition?!
  4. Documents on additional education , courses, etc. this point must be taken seriously. And most importantly, a piece of paper about the completion of something additional works in your favor. Best of all, if diplomas and certificates confirm that you have grown and continue to grow as a professional.

Preparing questions

Before you go to the interview, prepare a list of your questions for the employer, write them down and have them handy. You should not rely on your memory, even if you have not had sclerosis before. At the end of the interview, it will be very difficult to collect your thoughts and ask substantial questions.

Questions you can ask your employer:

  • What are your company’s goals?
  • How long has your company existed?
  • Who are her partners?
  • What are the development prospects?
  • Is this a new job or an old job?
  • Why did it become necessary to attract (or replace) employees?
  • Who evaluates the work?
  • What are the most common reasons people quit?
  • How is the competence of an employee determined?
  • Is there a job description?
  • What affects wage growth?
  • Who makes the decision to raise wages?
  • How does the company treat manifestations of personal initiative?
  • Is the scope of responsibility defined?
  • What are the prospects for my further growth in the company?
  • What are the opportunities for professional development?
  • Is flexible working hours possible?
  • Is it possible to independently plan your working and attendance time?
  • Are you paid extra for overtime work?
  • How often do you have to stay late after the end of the working day?

What would you like to know about the organization you are going to interview?

  • What products or services does the company offer?
  • How many years has the organization been in existence?
  • Where and to whom are products and services sold?
  • Is the organization part of any larger association?
  • How much attention is paid to the organization of the press? Why?
  • What is the media coverage of the organization?
  • Is the organization based in the country or has partners or branches abroad?
  • What is the outlook for the industry to which the organization belongs?

Interview behavior

Behavior at the interview, answers to standard and unexpected questions of interviewers – this is a separate big topic that concerns employment strategy.

What you need to remember is that the employer is not only interested in your experience and skills, but also in your personality. It is much more difficult for an ill-mannered, unpunctual, sloppy, optional, insecure candidate to find a job.

  1. When you come to the office, be polite and patient with everyone.
  2. Never show your interviewer that you have, for example, waited for him in the waiting room for half an hour or more. He is allowed to be late, you are not, no matter how unfair it may seem to you.
  3. In order to get the best reception in the very first seconds of the meeting, use some simple tricks. Smile, but don’t overdo it. The first words you should say are: “Thank you for meeting me.” This courtesy tribute is sure to have the desired effect.
  4. Conscientiously fill out all questionnaires and forms that will be offered to you.
  5. Introduce yourself at the beginning of the interview. Ask about the name of the interlocutor. If you are introduced to someone, do your best to hear and remember the person’s name correctly (it’s best to write it down). You can ask: “Would you mind if I record some moments of our communication?”. If you can immediately address the interlocutor by name, this will make a favorable impression.
  6. It is important to find out the length of the interview and stick to the designated time. This will allow you to correctly distribute the time between answers and questions, determine the degree of detail of the answers.
  7. Listen carefully to the questions, do not interrupt.
  8. If you are not sure that you understand the question, feel free to clarify: “Did I understand correctly that …”. It’s okay if you ask again, no.
  9. Answer to the point, avoid verbosity.
  10. When answering, be objective and truthful, but don’t be too frank.
  11. When faced with the need to give negative information about yourself, do not deny the facts that are true, but be sure to try to balance them with positive information about yourself.
  12. Carry yourself with dignity, try not to give the impression of a loser or a distressed person.
  13. If you are prompted to ask questions, be sure to ask.
  14. When asking questions, be interested in the content of the work and the conditions for its successful implementation.
  15. Be sure to specify how you will find out about the result, try to negotiate the right to call yourself.
  16. At the end of the interview, do not forget the usual rules of courtesy, thank you for your time.

Do’s and Don’ts

  • do not bring acquaintances, friends, classmates, etc.
  • do not smoke, eat or chew gum.
  • do not leave sunglasses on your nose when you enter the room.
  • do not bring a food or sports bag.
  • do not do makeup and look at yourself in the powder box mirror while waiting for an interview.
  • don’t kick the secretary if he tries to start a conversation with you.
  • do not torment the same secretary if he “didn’t guess” to start a conversation with you.
  • do not ask to use the phone in the reception.
  • don’t whistle, sing under your breath, and don’t rustle paper.
  • Do not read a book or magazine whose cover might cause someone in the audience to raise an eyebrow in surprise.
  • Do not conduct personal conversations on a mobile phone from the reception. It’s better to say that you will call back.

Interview questions

  1. Education, learning abilities:
  • What subjects did you do best/least at college/school?
  • How did you choose your profession and educational institution?
  • Which of the family members influenced the choice of profession?
  • How do you think to improve your professional training?
  • What have you already accomplished as a professional?

    • In which organizations did you work before?

    Early Learning Campus at Legacy Christian Academy

    Nurturing the Next Generation of World Changers

     

    As a parent, you know that your child’s earliest learning experiences set the foundation for their future development. Choosing a great preschool will help them develop academic readiness skills… but these years are about much more than preparing for kindergarten. You want your child to flourish socially in a loving community, mature emotionally through nurturing care, and, most importantly, begin developing a biblical worldview and Christlike character.

    At Legacy Christian Academy, our Early Learning program is designed to nurture the whole child as they set out on the journey God has for them. We equip our youngest learners to thrive in the classroom and beyond through a proven curriculum, exceptional teachers, and meaningful activities that ignite a love for learning.

    Below, you’ll find a brief overview of what we offer, including:

    Program Offerings

    Curriculum Overview

    Looking for a Private, Christian Pre-K Program in Frisco?

    Don’t miss your opportunity to enroll at Legacy Christian Academy. Due to record demand, Pre-K 3 is often the only entry point for families to join at Legacy Christian Academy.

    The learning environment at LCA

    At LCA, we believe providing a top-tier Christian education begins in the early years. Because it is our vision to be the school of choice for Christian families in North Texas, we have invested in a beautiful Early Learning Campus with quality facilities, vibrant classrooms, and a high level of security.

    On our Early Learning Campus, you will find:

    • Expansive Classrooms: Our preschool classrooms are spacious and inviting, with spaces designed for independent and collaborative learning, as well as two restrooms within each classroom.
    • Outdoor Learning & Play: Our three-acre Early Learning Campus features expansive, secured playgrounds, a greenhouse, and garden areas.
    • Optimal Class Sizes: Students feel known and loved in class sizes of 18 or fewer (depending on age), led by nurturing teachers and teachers’ aides.
    • A Strong Emphasis on Safety: We take student safety seriously. Armed security officers, surveillance technology, locked classroom doors, and badged access to a single school entry point through two sets of doors provides parents peace of mind.
    • Student Health & Wellbeing: Our Early Learning Campus has a full-time school nurse who oversees student health and provides compassionate care to our youngest learners. We also have a dedicated counselor to provide social and emotional support. One of our resident therapy dogs also makes regular visits to the ELC.

    The Early Learning Campus also houses a library, technology/robotics center, music room, gymnasium, health clinic, and catering kitchen.

    Preschool Programs

    Our Early Learning programs are designed to help students move seamlessly from one age and stage to the next, mastering important readiness skills as they continue toward kindergarten. The following programs are available on our Early Learning Campus:

    • Pre-K 3 — Three years old by September 1
    • Pre-K 4 — Four years old by September 1
    • Pre-K 4 Spanish Immersion — Four years old by September 1 (space is limited)
    • Junior Kindergarten — For young five-year-olds or advanced four year olds that can benefit from a Kindergarten preparation class
    Program Schedule

    At LCA, all of our Early Learning programs are five-day, tuition programs. Families may bring their child on a condensed schedule; however, tuition will be for the full five-day program. If a family chooses a condensed schedule we ask that those days be Tuesday through Thursday.
    All Early Learning classes begin promptly at 8:30 am. Parents may drop their children off as early as 7:30 am at no additional fee. Currently, our dismissal time is 2:30 pm for Pre-K 3 and 3:00 pm for Pre-K 4; however, minor adjustments may be made to these times year-to-year to accommodate families with students at multiple divisions.

    Legacy Extended Care

    We’re pleased to offer an after-school care program for our busy families, allowing their children to remain in a safe and familiar environment all day. Legacy extended care runs until 6 p.m. daily and is available at an additional cost. Students who participate will move to another classroom at the end of their school day to enjoy a snack, crafts, and outdoor play. In addition to our caring staff, after care students get to interact with LCA juniors and seniors who volunteer their time to support our youngest learners.

    “When we decided to send our three-year-old to LCA, we knew she would be surrounded by people who loved her and would take great care of her. We’re confident and trusting in our school’s daily operations and its protocols to keep her absolutely safe while she’s away from us. There is always a security presence on campus, even during drop-off and pickup times. That’s always comforting. From secure man traps to locked doors 24/7, I know everything is being done to ensure the safety of every person on the ELC campus.

    —Bailey and Justin Watson, LCA Parents

    Hands-On Learning

    LCA Early Learning students love coming to school because they get to explore, create, get messy, and learn by doing. Our hands-on curriculum ignites curiosity and engages young minds. We use the research-based Frogstreet Press curriculum, which provides a strong foundation for academics and fosters a seamless transition from preschool to kindergarten. Core subjects include

    • Bible
    • Handwriting
    • Literacy
    • Math
    • Science
    Special Classes

    At LCA, specials aren’t just for our older students. Early Learning students enjoy a variety of weekly rotations that teach essential life skills and spark new interests:

    • Chapel
    • Gardening (onsite greenhouse and raised garden beds)
    • Library
    • Music & Movement
    • Science Lab
    Intentional Tech Use

    Our classrooms are equipped with the latest technology, such as Promethean boards, computers, and iPads. While teachers may use these tools to increase engagement during specific lessons, we are intentional about developing young students academically and socially, primarily through off-screen learning.

    Special Events

    Early Learning students participate in many LCA traditions and special ceremonies such as pep rallies, themed parties, and schoolwide events. Our Pre-K 4 and Junior Kindergarten classes look forward to field trips, including a Pumpkin Patch trip in the fall, and Pre-K 3 students enjoy a variety of on-campus fun.

    One School for Life

    When you choose LCA, your child has the opportunity to be a member of our close-knit community until they graduate. This continuity is priceless. LCA Upper School students intern in Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4 classrooms, work in the extended care program, and build meaningful relationships with our youngest Eagles.

    “Legacy made a lot of wonderful improvements to our newly acquired Early Learning Campus to make it ready for our little Eagles. We replaced the gravel on the playground with turf, classrooms and hallways got a fresh coat of paint, and our children are enjoying hands-on learning opportunities in our new tech and science labs. Cameras have been installed in the hallways and outside of our building, and other security enhancements have been made to help ensure the safety of our campus.”

    Wondering how much to feed your baby? This can be hard to figure out, especially when you’re starting solids and most of your baby’s food ends up on your little one or the floor. It’s also difficult to determine how much an 8-month-old (or older baby) should eat – babies this age are more interested in solid foods but still get most of their nutrition from breast milk or formula. This visual guide to baby food portions can help you figure out how much your baby should eat at every stage.

    How much should my baby eat?

    Do you worry that your baby is eating too little or too much? Your baby will self-regulate her food intake based on what their body needs, so let their appetite be your guide.

    It’s helpful to have a reference point, however. Here are photos of how much solid food a baby typically eats in a day. You can also ask your baby’s doctor for feeding advice.

    This visual guide shows:

    • Portions for infants who are new to solids (typically 4 to 6 months)
    • Two sample meals for a younger baby (6 to 8 months)
    • Three sample meals and two snacks for an older baby (8 to 12 months) from a menu developed by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP)

    Your little one may eat less or more than what’s shown here. Your job is to provide a variety of healthy foods at regular intervals without pressure, and their job is to decide what and how much to eat.

    Watch for signs your baby is full

    Lots of factors – including activity level, growth spurts or plateaus, illness, and teething – will affect your baby’s appetite, which can vary daily.

    End feeding when they signal that they’re done. Signs of being full include:

    • Turning their head away
    • Refusing to open their mouth for another bite after they’ve swallowed (resist the urge to encourage your baby to have one last spoonful)
    • Leaning back in their chair
    • Playing with the spoon or food rather than eating

    How much a 4- to 6-month-old should eat

    When your baby is developmentally ready for solids, typically around 4 to 6 months, talk to their doctor about introducing solid foods. The first bites are mostly about them getting used to the idea of having something different in their mouth.

    • Start with a very small amount, 1 to 2 teaspoons, of a single-ingredient puree.
    • Gradually increase to 1 to 2 tablespoons of food once a day.
    • Follow your baby’s fullness cues.

    Popular first foods include pureed mango, banana, chicken, turkey, beef, peas, sweet potatoes, and infant cereal. It’s up to you what food to start with, but wait 3 to 5 days between introducing each new food to make sure your baby doesn’t have an allergic reaction or food intolerance. (And remember, no cow’s milk or honey until age 1.)

    How much a 6- to 8-month-old should eat

    As your little one gets more comfortable with solids, you can increase the frequency of meals and variety of food.

    • Transition from one to two meals a day, typically by 8 months.
    • Over time, add a second food to each meal. The photo above is an example of a meal with two foods.
    • Once you’ve worked up to two meals with two foods each, aim for a balance of proteins, vegetables, fruits, and grains in their daily diet.
    • Whenever you introduce a new food, start with a very small amount, a teaspoon or two, to allow your baby to get used to its flavor and texture.
    • Start with a soupy consistency. Gradually add more texture as their eating skills improve.

    Expect their intake of breast milk or formula to go down. They’ll start drinking less of it as they eat more solid foods. Provide healthy options at mealtimes, and let them choose how much to eat.

    Note: The jars in all photos are standard 4-ounce baby food jars.

    Breakfast for a younger baby (6 to 8 months)

    Cereal and fruit make an easy combination for a morning meal.

    Grain: Iron-fortified, whole-grain infant cereal is a popular first grain. At 6 months, a typical daily portion of infant cereal mixed with breast milk or formula might be 2 to 3 tablespoons, increasing to 4 to 8 tablespoons (1/4 to 1/2 cup) by 8 months. (It’s best to avoid rice cereal, though.)

    Fruit: Babies love the natural sweetness of fruits like pears, apples, berries, prunes, and stone fruits. Between 6 and 8 months, a baby will typically transition from about 2 to 3 tablespoons of fruit puree a day to 4 to 8 tablespoons (1/4 to 1/2 cup) of mashed or minced fruit.

    Photo credit: Karla Martin for BabyCenter

    Dinner for a younger baby (6 to 8 months)

    If you serve a grain and fruit in the morning, consider offering a protein-rich food and vegetable later in the day. Your child may eat more or less than the amounts shown.

    Protein: A baby might transition from eating 1 to 2 tablespoons of meat puree at 6 months to 2 to 4 tablespoons at 8 months, for example. Other good protein sources include cheese, unsweetened plain whole-milk yogurt, tofu, beans, and lentils.

    Vegetables: Between 6 and 8 months, a baby will typically transition from about 2 to 3 tablespoons of vegetable puree a day to 4 to 8 tablespoons (1/4 to 1/2 cup). Try classic favorites like carrots, spinach, or butternut squash, as well as less traditional first foods such as parsnips, beets, or asparagus.

    As your child’s eating skills improve, gradually add more texture by dicing or mincing foods.

    Photo credit: Karla Martin for BabyCenter

    How much an 8- to 12-month-old should eat

    By 8 months or so, your baby is likely getting the hang of eating and needs to eat more calories to support their growing body. But since their little belly can’t hold a lot of food, they’ll need to eat more often. Every baby is different, but this may be a good time to try offering a third solid food meal.

    During this period:

    • Continue to give your baby breast milk or formula.
    • Add morning and afternoon snacks. (Some babies this age are happy with breast milk or formula as their snack, while others gravitate toward solid foods.) Once you’ve added a third meal and snacks, your baby will be eating or drinking something about every two to three hours.
    • Continue to aim for a mix of proteins, vegetables, fruits, and grains.
    • Introduce coarser and chunkier textures, for example, by dicing or mincing food instead of pureeing it, and graduate to soft finger foods as your baby’s eating skills improve.
    • Avoid foods with added sugars. Check the Nutrition Facts label on packaged foods, and try to steer clear of foods that list 1 gram or more of “Added Sugars.”
    • Provide healthy options, and let your baby choose how much to eat.

    To visualize daily portions for an 8- to 12-month-old, check out the following photos of a typical day’s menu for a baby this age, developed by the AAP.

    Your child may eat more or less than these amounts. If you’re concerned about how much your baby is eating, talk to their doctor for advice.

    Breakfast for an older baby (8 to 12 months)

    The AAP sample menu for a baby 8 to 12 months features a breakfast consisting of:

    • 4 to 8 tablespoons (1/4 to 1/2 cup) whole-grain infant cereal mixed with formula or breast milk
    • 4 to 8 tablespoons (1/4 to 1/2 cup) diced fruit

    Note: This is an example. Your baby may eat different foods and amounts.

    Morning snack for an older baby (8 to 12 months)

    The AAP sample menu for a baby 8 to 12 months features a morning snack consisting of:

    • 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) diced cheese or cooked vegetables

    Note: This is an example of a morning snack, which babies typically add sometime between 8 and 12 months. Your baby may eat different foods and amounts.

    Lunch for an older baby (8 to 12 months)

    The AAP sample menu for a baby 8 to 12 months features a lunch consisting of:

    • 4 to 8 tablespoons (1/4 to 1/2 cup) unsweetened plain whole-milk yogurt or cottage cheese, or minced meat
    • 4 to 8 tablespoons (1/4 to 1/2 cup) diced or mashed yellow or orange vegetable

    Note: This is an example. Your baby may eat different foods and amounts.

    Afternoon snack for an older baby (8 to 12 months)

    The AAP sample menu for a baby 8 to 12 months features an afternoon snack consisting of:

    • 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) diced fruit or unsweetened plain whole-milk yogurt
    • 1 whole-grain teething biscuit or cracker

    Note: This is an example of an afternoon snack, which babies typically add sometime between 8 and 12 months. Your baby may eat different foods and amounts.

    Dinner for older baby (8 to 12 months)

    The AAP sample menu for a baby 8 to 12 months features a dinner consisting of:

    • 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) minced or ground poultry or meat, or diced tofu
    • 4 to 8 tablespoons (1/4 to 1/2) cup diced, cooked green vegetable
    • 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) noodles, pasta, rice, or potato
    • 4 tablespoons (1/4 cup) diced fruit

    Note: This is an example. Your baby may eat different foods and amounts.

    How much should my baby drink once they start eating solids?

    Breast milk or formula will fully meet your child’s hydration needs until they’re about 6 months old. They may start drinking less as solid foods become a bigger part of their diet. Here are typical daily amounts by age – your baby’s intake may be different, however.

    6 to 8 months: 24 to 32 ounces of formula, or continued breastfeeding on demand

    8 to 12 months: 24 ounces of formula, or continued breastfeeding on demand

    Water: You can offer your baby water once they start eating solids, but let them self-regulate how much they drink. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends giving babies who are 6 to 12 months old 4 to 6 ounces of water a day, but what your baby decides to drink may vary. They may drink more on a hot day, for example.

    Avoid juice: Juice isn’t recommended for babies younger than 12 months.

    Your baby has the final say

    Keep in mind that these portions are an estimate. The truth is, every baby is different, and there’s no set amount of food that’s appropriate for every baby at every stage.

    If you’re worried about whether your baby is eating enough – or too much – the best advice is to look for and respond to signs that your baby is full.

    Your baby’s doctor will chart their weight gain at regular intervals. If the doctor sees a consistent growth curve and doesn’t have other concerns, your baby is most likely eating the right amount of food.

    Solids, Finger Foods, and More

    • Baby Milestone 2: When They’re Ready to Move From Puree to Chunks
    • Baby Milestone 3: When They Can Sit in a High Chair
    • Baby Milestone 4: When They Can Manage Finger Foods

    • Baby Milestone 6: When They Can Try Highly Allergenic Foods
    • Baby Milestone 7: When They Can Drink Water
    • Baby Milestone 8: When They Can Completely Feed Themselves

    There are many milestones that need to be achieved when a baby is ready to start to eat solid foods. Here are some of the big ones.

     

    Most pediatricians, and the American Academy of Pediatrics, recommend introducing solid foods to babies when they are between ages 4 and 6 months. That’s when they start to lose the “tongue-thrust reflex” or extrusion reflex, which is important for sucking the breast or bottle when they are younger, but interferes with feeding. Babies at this point can also lift their heads up independently and hold their necks high.

    If your baby is around this age, can sit up well with support, and shows interest in the foods they see you eating, it’s probably a good time to venture into feeding your baby solid food. If your baby is exclusively breastfed, it is recommended that you wait until they are 6 months to start solids.

    “Chunking up” babies’ food is a process — obviously, they shouldn’t go straight from rice cereal to raisin bran. But after the first few weeks of adjusting to eating rather than just drinking their food, your baby should be ready to handle a little more texture in solid foods.

    Introduce new textures slowly. Good starters are mashed bananas or mashed avocados. You can also use the “staged” store-bought baby foods — going from the smooth puree of stage 1 to the slightly thicker stage 2 and then the chunkier stage 3 by around 9 months of age. (Babies don’t necessarily have to have a lot of teeth to handle more texture in their foods — they can often gum soft foods very well!)

    When babies are ready to eat solid foods, they can sit upright with support and hold up their head and neck. They’re capable of sitting in a high chair! That’s a serious milestone, but you’ll need to follow these safety rules: Always buckle a baby into their chair for safety, even if they are unable to get out with the tray in place. As they get older and become more active, they may be able to squirm out. It is a good habit to buckle a child as soon as you place them in their chair — even if you think there’s no chance they could fall out or climb out. You may get distracted for a moment, which happens really easily when we are trying to do a million things at once!

     

    Babies between ages 7 and 11 months usually tell you they’re ready to eat more grown-up foods by trying to grab them from you. Almost any food that is healthy and nutritious and has a soft texture makes a good finger food, if it’s cut small enough: diced pasta; small pieces of well-cooked vegetables such as carrots, peas, or zucchini; and pea-sized bites of chicken or soft meat. Small, unsweetened round cereals and cereal puffs are also a good choice. Avoid feeding your baby grapes, hot dogs (even cut up), nuts, and hard candy, as they are choking hazards.

    At first babies “rake” food into their hand, but soon they develop the “pincer grasp” that allows them to pick up small objects between thumb and forefinger. At that point, your baby can become a pro at self-feeding, so encourage finger foods and let your baby explore!

     

    Almost as soon as babies adjust to being fed with a spoon, they’ll want to hold and grab the spoon themselves and put it in their mouths. That doesn’t mean they’re graceful, of course.

    Most babies don’t learn to use a spoon effectively until after their first birthday, but let a younger baby who’s interested give it a whirl for practice. Try giving them a soft-tipped spoon to hold while you feed them with another. They can get used to holding the spoon themselves and will also be distracted from grabbing yours.

    When you think they are ready to actually navigate the spoon into their mouth, try thicker, stickier foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, or cottage cheese. Another tip: Put some cream cheese on the spoon and then a few pieces of O-shaped cereal on top. The cream cheese won’t fly everywhere, and the baby can get the experience of actually getting the cereal into their mouth.

    Expect a mess! Use a plastic or other waterproof bib, and put a mat under the high chair to make cleanup easier.

     

    The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends introducing allergenic and non-allergenic foods, including peanuts, starting around 4-6 months of age, except in babies who have eczema or other food allergies. If peanut butter is tolerated, introduce milk (after age 1), egg products, wheat, and fish.

     

     

    Babies don’t need water during their first 6 months of life. They get all the water they need from breast milk or baby formula. Babies under age 6 months should not be given any water at all, because it’s easy to fill up their tiny stomachs — and they should be filling up on the nutrients they receive from the milk to grow. Once they start eating mostly solid foods, around age 9 months, they can start water with meals using a sippy cup.

    If your older baby shows an interest in water that you’re drinking, there’s no harm in letting them have a few sips. Just don’t let it replace the nutritious breast milk or formula they should be getting.

     

    Mastering eating with utensils is a long process. Most babies do not become really skilled at it until they are well past their first birthday. Encourage your child to practice safely, and again, be prepared for a little mess. (How else will you get the “oatmeal in the hair” pictures that will embarrass them years later?)

    In the first year of a child’s life, parents choose the right food for their baby very carefully. The older the child becomes, the more simple truths are forgotten.

    Most of the children go to kindergarten or school, and are at home only in the mornings and evenings or on weekends. Meals at this time should form a conscious choice in the child. Parents can discuss with their children what they want to eat and guide them.

    The most important keywords in child nutrition are:
    • Example
    • Shared meals
    • Availability of suitable food
    • Outreach
    • Time
    • Choice and decision making
    Even if your child is still a preschooler or teenager, you need to remember the simple truths that relate to nutrition :
    • Children’s food preferences are mainly based on two factors: whether they know food and how it tastes (whether sweet). For children under four years of age, the most important thing is that the child knows what food is offered to him. Therefore, it is necessary to introduce new food carefully, offering it in small quantities, showing a personal example. Getting used to new foods takes time. If you guide the process carefully and in a playful way, this can be very captivating for a child. The more colorful by nature put on a plate, the more attractive and appetizing it is, and the more it contains various necessary nutrients.
    • On weekdays, those children who go to kindergarten have only dinner left for home meals, while schoolchildren have 3-4 meals. Children should have three main meals and 1-2 snacks per day. What food and in what quantities is offered depends on the time spent in the child care facility. The body must be regularly provided with the necessary amount of energy, so it is important to adhere to regular nutrition. Children should be offered food at well-defined times, and the interval between meals should not exceed 3.5–4 hours. The child should be given at least half an hour to eat.
    • Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it gives the body energy and the child can play or study. It is recommended to offer lightly processed foods for snacks (for example, fresh or dried fruits and berries, vegetables, unsweetened yogurt and cottage cheese, bread, juices, oatmeal, sandwiches). If the child seems to be eating too little or too much, a food diary should be kept in which for several days to record what and how much the child eats and drinks. It often turns out that the problem is not in the quantities eaten, but in the choice of products. You don’t need to grab vitamin and mineral supplements right away – a properly balanced and varied food already contains everything that is required.
    • Dinner in the family should be a well-defined mealtime when you can talk about the events of the day and be together. You can also discuss the menu for tomorrow and think about the weekend. All children, like adults, are different. Every child has a favorite food and one that he does not like at all. Knowing the child’s preferences, the parent can sometimes gradually accustom him to food that the child does not normally eat. To do this, you can attach a list of products that the child must eat during the day on the refrigerator. A child, if he goes to kindergarten or elementary school, can draw these products himself. In this case, it is convenient to monitor the choice of food and teach the child to eat healthy. Parents can invite their child to dine at home or arrange for a convenient place to dine out.
    • It is also important for the child how the food looks and its correct temperature. The child eats with great pleasure if he has seen what the food is made of.
    • When eating, the child’s mood and surroundings (eg, whether the TV is on, whether guests are present) and whether the child is hungry are important.
    • Children grow in periods, ie. sometimes the child eats very little, and sometimes much more. It is useful to ensure that nutrition and energy expenditure are in balance. If the child is very active, he should eat more. With soft drinks, potato chips, sweets, buns and cakes, the child gets a lot of so-called. empty energy, which, although more than enough to cover energy needs, but because of which the child does not eat other foods (vegetables and fruits, rye bread, milk, fish, etc. ) needed to obtain the necessary proteins, fatty acids , vitamins and minerals.
    • The best drink to quench your thirst is water. Fruit drinks and juice drinks made from syrup are not suitable for constant consumption and thirst quenching, both in terms of healthy nutrition and dental health.

    Nutrition is one of the most important functions of a person, which is absolutely necessary for his life. But the growth and harmonious development of the child depend not only on the provision of nutrients, but also determined by the proper organization of food intake.

    First experience

    The formation of eating behavior begins from the first days of a baby’s life. Initially, it determines the natural need – it allows you to get the nutrients necessary for life and development. By loud crying and searching for the mother’s nipple, the baby notifies of his hunger and, on the contrary, hums, smiles or sleeps peacefully if he is full. A few months after birth, during the period of natural feeding, the nutritional relationship between mother and baby becomes more complex and is not always directly related only to the baby’s hunger. Eating behavior changes especially brightly if there are any significant changes in the usual family life. The most typical example is the early exit of the mother to work, when the baby, through a change in nutrition, can express dissatisfaction with her frequent absence.

    Transition

    Once complementary foods are introduced, the baby begins to adapt to foods other than breast milk, getting used to foods and learning eating habits that will be fixed and implemented throughout his life. It is in the second half of life that the baby begins to eat on his own, his gradual socialization and transition to a common family table take place. Focusing on the eating behavior of the mother and other close relatives, the baby tries to imitate, seeks to try adult food, gains his own experience and forms taste preferences. This stage is very important in human development. It determines taste preferences in the future, the attitude to the procedure for eating, and in case of unfavorable developments, it can be the cause of persistent appetite disorders.

    A difficult period

    None of us was born with the ability to use a spoon, fork and drink from a cup. These skills are acquired with the help of adults, and it is their behavior that determines how quickly and successfully, and most importantly, how psychologically comfortable a child will master the difficult science of behavior at the table. Parents should be patient, show respect for the child and understand that it will take a long time before the baby masters the skills of eating. Of course, at first, a little researcher will study food by touch, try to smear it on the table and turn the plate over. Be calm about his experiments, but continue to teach him persistently, helping him use tableware and educating him by your own example. The more confident children begin to use a spoon, the less difficulty they have in eating, and the more successfully their diet expands.

    Preparatory stage

    For self-feeding, the child should have a specially equipped place – the most popular and convenient highchairs for feeding. Initially, the child will eat at his table, and then by the end of the first year of life, you can move the high chair to the family table.

    This is important! To successfully master the skills of eating, children should have their own comfortable spoon and stable plate. It is advisable to use a medium-sized spoon, shallow, with a non-slip thickened handle. The first cutlery should not have sharp edges so that the baby does not hurt the gums. Dishes must be selected from environmentally friendly and safe materials.

    A number of modern spoons have temperature sensors, which can be useful for monitoring the temperature of food. Use a plate with a high rim to help your child scoop up food more easily. To make the dishes less slippery, choose plates with a wide base or use special devices in the form of a rubber bottom or suction cups.

    See also: At what age should a child be introduced to solid foods? This will be a positive reinforcement in his learning. Mom needs to sit directly facing the child and offer a spoon, trying to make him take it with his leading hand. While holding the baby’s wrist and elbow, try scooping up some food and directing it towards the mouth. Then return the spoon to the plate. As practice and learning improves, gradually decrease your help by moving your supporting hand away from the child’s wrist toward the child’s elbow, and then let the child try to do without assistance.

    Of course, not everything will work out right away. For a long time, the baby will try to eat with his hands, put food in a spoon with his fingers, or help with the other hand to bring the spoon to his mouth. Praise and openly rejoice in his success.

    IMPORTANT! Remember that children experience great emotional stress when they learn to eat on their own, so do not keep them at the table for a long time and even scold them for slowness and untidiness. Another very important point is to encourage independence. Do not take the spoon away from the child in an attempt to speed up the process. And do not be afraid that the baby will eat less – after a while he will get hungry again and happily eat the next portion.

    Drinks

    The modern market of goods is replete with various devices for feeding babies: from bottles to various drinkers. However, child nutrition experts recommend teaching your child to drink from a cup. In the first year of life, a child has a pronounced sucking reflex, so when using a bottle or drinker, he can drink more than he needs. The glass or cup should be lightweight and made of materials that do not crack or break. Some kids prefer to drink with their hands around a glass, others are more comfortable holding on to the handle of a mug – try different options, choosing the most convenient one. At the initial stage, the adult brings the cup to his mouth and, leaning it against his lips, slowly tilts it. Pour liquid only a third of the volume – the child will not choke, but there will be no need to throw back his head. The next step is to help the baby – hold his wrists and direct his hands with a glass to his mouth. Teach him to keep his head upright while drinking. And the next step, let me try to drink on my own.

    Simple rules

    • It is very important to create the right nutritional stereotype for the child. Before eating, remove toys from sight, do not turn on the TV.
    • Try to create a calm and friendly atmosphere at the table. Eating should not be associated with stress and negative emotions.
    • While feeding, you can teach your baby many other things: the names of dishes and food, discussing the taste of food.
    • Instill hygiene and aesthetic habits in your baby from an early age. He should get used to washing his hands before eating, using a napkin, saying “Thank you” after eating.
    • Set the table for a meal, use bright children’s dishes and fantasize about the appearance of the proposed dish.

      Worth the stop

      We really enjoyed our visit here and loved the funny signage on the way up to let us know we were going the right way. You get to sample four different kinds of cheeses and two varieties of maple syrup. They were friendly and you can do a tour of the grounds yourself, including seeing the trees they get the maple from and where it’s processed.

      It’s not just any old covered bridge; it is an amazing feat of wooden engineering and the 2nd longest in Vermont! You have to stop and walk though it and read about both the bridge and the hydroelectric dam! The drive along VT 4 is so beautiful, and this is one of the jewels in the crown.

      A Great Find!!!!!!!!

      We stopped in at this country store, looking for a quick lunch…….there was a small sandwich shop just steps from the country store which served wonderful sandwiches, ice cream, etc.

      After lunch, we ventured into the country store………what a great place! An unending variety of things for sale..from jams/jellies to wine/beverages to toys/clothing to VT goodies/souvenirs. The prices were very fair…..some of the VT cheeses that we had previously purchased in other places were priced at lower prices here. And, if you’re looking for Cabot Cheese, this is definitely THE place to stop. I have never seen so many different Cabot products…….many of which were new to me.

      Yes, I agree with a previous TA comment……..this store is NOT in Woodstock!

    A Day Trip to Woodstock Offers Fun for the Whole Family

    Woodstock is a day trip that offers something for nature lovers, foodies and appreciators of art and shopping.

    By Serena Norr

    Get can’t-miss family activities sent to you!

    Looking for a fun day trip for you and the kids? Woodstock is one of our favorites – that offers something for nature lovers, foodies, appreciators of art and shopping — and of course it’s rich history in pop culture. At only 1.5 hours – from both Bergen and Rockland Counties – Woodstock is a great place to discover all year-round. Below, we’re sharing some of our favorite things to do with kids in the area, including places to eat, shop, and play. Happy exploring!

    WHAT TO DO

    Hiking: There are so many ways to enjoy nature and exploration in Woodstock and the surrounding areas. Depending on the ages of your kids and their skill level, you can try mild to intense hikes. Some nearby ones include hiking Shawangunk Mountains, Overlook Mountain Trailhead (353 Meads Mountain Rd, Woodstock, NY), Sloane Gorge Preserve (487 Stoll Road, Woodstock, NY 12498), the Thorn Preserve – Catskill Center (55 John Joy Road, Woodstock, NY 12498), Kaaterskill Wild Forest (70 Catskill View Circle, Saugerties, NY 12477) to see waterfalls, or the flat Comeau Property Trail (95 Comeau Drive, Woodstock, NY 12498), to name a few. For a less rugged trail, try the paved Ashokan Reservoir  (Rte 28 & Winchells Corners, Shokan, NY 12481), which supplies NYC with 40% of its drinking water.

    Swimming: If you visit during the summer months, take advantage of the many lakes and reserves that Woodstock and its surrounding areas has to offer. This includes Big and Little Deep, Cooper Lake, or the Millstream Swimming Hole. Big Deep is really fun for a whole day experience and has ropes for kids to swing from and jump into the deep water as well as a shallow area for little kids. Some of the areas of these watering holes are rocky so it’s best to bring water shoes if that sort of thing bothers your kids. Most of them don’t cost any money and are roadside pull-ups (Big Deep) so pay careful attention to the directions, or you might miss it.

    Opus 40: If you have time to roam and explore, a visit to Opus 40 should definitely be on your list. Founded in 1978, this 50-acre and seven acre-outdoor sculpture park offers much to see and do, including walkable trails, forested paths, a gallery, museum, and of course access to view some incredible pieces of art, including 6. 5 acres of earthwork sculpture. There are ample areas for sitting and resting – should you want to have a picnic there as well. 356 George Sickle Road, Saugerties, NY 12477.

    Bethel Woods Center for the Arts: A performing arts center and museum, you and your family can learn more about the history and origins of the 1969 Woodstock Music and Art Festival, which was not in the actual town of Woodstock at all. This includes an opportunity to look at artifacts, photo archives, films, and listen to music as well as view a cool hippie bus that you’ll want to take a picture in front of. Through learning about the cultural impact of the festival, your kids will also learn about this time in history, touching on the Vietnam War to the Summer of Love, and how Woodstock came about. 200 Hurd Road, Bethel, NY 12720.

    Woodstock Playhouse: If you’re staying for the evening (and sometimes they have early shows on the weekends), check out the Woodstock Playhouse. Some recent productions include the Woodstock Symphony Orchestra, “Sweet Charity,” “Charlotte’s Web,” “Evita,” and more. 103 Mill Hill Road, Woodstock, NY 12498.

    World’s Largest Kaleidoscope: A few minutes outside of Woodstock, you and your kids can enjoy a 10-minute show inside a 56-foot kaleidoscope. Located at the Emerson Resort & Spa in a refurbished farm silo, the show features a visual explosion of tapered mirrors, interchangeable images, colors, and fractal figures – told through a story and accompanied by an original score. Once the show is over, you’ll exit to a shop – and collection of indoor boutiques – that you can explore. There is also an on-site restaurant for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. 5340 Route 28, Mount Tremper, NY 12457.

    I Paddle New York: Rent a kayak and enjoy a relaxing activity, soaking in the beauty of the Esopus Creek. Kids have to be at least three years old (and 30 pounds) and they offer both single and tandem kayaks. The water is mild and smooth so you can enjoy the views as well as offers points where you can get out of the kayak to swim and just relax.  61 S Partition Street, Saugerties, NY 12477

    Colony Woodstock: A restaurant/ beer garden/concert venue, the Colony is a great place to get a bit and see a show. The simple menu offers sandwiches, burgers, fries, salads, and a pretty extensive dessert menu. Stay for a show to see a local artist or local tribute band in an intimate, cozy setting. .22 Rock City Road, Woodstock, NY 12498.

    Catskill Animal Sanctuary: Animal lovers will definitely want to visit the Catskill Animal Sanctuary. Located nearby in Saugerties, the location is a 50-acre refuge for farm animals rescued from cruelty, neglect and abandonment. They are open on the weekend for public and ticketed tours where you will meet some of their current refuges, ranging from chickens to cows to ducks and more. 316 Old Stage Road, Saugerties, NY 12477.

    Center for Photography: Lovers of art and photography will love a visit to the Center for Photography. Located right on Tinker Street, the gallery is free and offers a great way to access and check out some  photography from a variety of artists. 59 Tinker Street, Woodstock, NY 12498.

    Flower children’s music: why Woodstock became a legendary festival

    53 years ago, one of the brightest and most significant events in musical history took place – the Woodstock festival. Until mid-August 19For 69 years, no one knew how large-scale it would become – and certainly no one could have imagined that after half a century people would remember him as a symbol of a generation. The significance of the event is confirmed by the documentary “Woodstock” (1970) and the fact that the festival was attended by about 500,000 people. The Rolling Stone even ranked it #19 on their list of the 50 Moments That Changed the History of Rock ‘n’ Roll. As is usually the case, nothing historical and great was originally planned – Woodstock was organized by people who simply wanted to build a music studio in a northern village near New York. However, what happened over the next three days (August 15 to 18) became legendary – both for music and for a generation. But why?

    Wadleigh Maurice/Collection Christophel/East News

    First, it is worth emphasizing the number of people and the resistance of the locals. Yes, we had to compete for the festival. The village of Woodstock was originally a haven for creative and artistic people, but the older generation was wary of fashionable hippies. Loafers in bandanas, actively advocating for peace and love – that’s who you should definitely expect trouble from. In this regard, various ordinances were passed in the village against “freedom-loving” behavior – and the organizers had to move the festival to Max Yasgur’s dairy farm in Bethel, about 65 kilometers from Woodstock itself. As a result, no one even had time to put up fences, and there were so many people that there were wild traffic jams.

    Second, the weather. In 1969, no one could open an app on their phone and check to see if the sun would shine, so they acted mostly at random. Therefore, the festival opened under the blue sky, and ended with a strong thunderstorm and hurricane. No one was prepared for this, but it definitely played its role in the perception of the festival.

    And thirdly, the music did its job. All the brightest musical figures of the 60s gathered at Woodstock – among them the Grateful Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jefferson Airplane, The Who. But one of the most memorable performances was Jimi Hendrix’s interpretation of the US anthem. By the time Hendrix began his set, the party-weary crowd had dwindled to around 30,000, but his version of the national anthem was a fitting final note for a three-day festival that epitomized counterculture for a generation.

    Woodstock Music Festival & Art Fair took place not at all in the city of Woodstock, , but on one of the farms near the town of Bethel, New York, USA. Initially, it was planned to arrange it in Woodstock, but the organizers could not find a suitable place there and, as a result, leased 6 hectares of land in Bethel for this purpose.

    №2

    The organizers assured that there would be no more than 50 thousand visitors, but in the end, Woodstock was visited by about 500 thousand people.

    No. 3

    Entrance to Woodstock was free .

    Among the speakers were almost all the rock stars of the 1960s: The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Joan Baez, Joe Cocker, Grateful Dead, Ravi Shankar, The Incredible String Band, Carlos Santana and many more.

    But The Doors and Led Zeppelin refused to come to the festival . They say that Jim Morrison did not want to participate in “a pale version of the Monterey Festival”, and the Zeppelins were “another group in a long list”, which both teams later regretted very much. The Beatles, who at that time were on the verge of collapse, did not participate in the festival either.

    №5

    Singer Joan Baez, who closed the first day of the festival, performed when she was six months pregnant.

    №6

    In 1970, a documentary film called Woodstock was released about the festival. 3 days of peace and music, which won the 1971 Oscar for Best Documentary and also won nominations for Best Sound and Editing. Among the team of editors was, by the way, the future star directed by Martin Scorsese.

    The couple on the cover of Woodstock, are still together! According to The Mirror newspaper, Nick and Bobby Ercoline are now 60 years old, they got married in 1971 and have not parted since. According to Nick, this photograph embodies the spirit of that era for him and is a collective image of their entire generation. Bobby’s memories of the legendary festival are less poetic, she remembers “rain, mud and lack of toilets.”

    Let’s remember 19The 60s with designers and designer brands: an unforgettable time of the psychedelic revolution and flower children, beatniks and hippies, Woodstock and Ken Kesey’s acid tests. Bright objects with flowers, “Pacifics”, LOVE inscriptions and other symbols of the 1960s will bring peace and love to your home. Times change, but the main thing is the same: ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!

The program includes on-site therapy services like physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Medical Childcare focuses on each child’s overall health. For this reason, we provide therapeutic activities to develop coordination, self-confidence, social competencies, and more.
