While this sort of looks like a naughty snow globe it is actually Mary and Joseph with the Baby Jesus! Dirty mind, you.
Cool Globes debuted in Chicago with a June 1, 2007 grand opening celebration attended by more than 500 people, including artists, sponsors, business and civic leaders, and children. This public event featured a news conference with Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley, the unveiling of eight globes, refreshments and live entertainment. Cool Globes' educational partner, the Field Museum, also hosted more than 230 CPS students who learned about climate change before attending the event. The globes were displayed along Chicago's lakefront, from the Museum Campus to Navy Pier, from June 1 to September 30, 2007.
Cool Globes was launched in Chicago because of the City's leadership and dedication to promoting environmentally sound policies. Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley's goal is to make his city the greenest in the nation through the promotion of environmental programs and practices, including a bike initiative, adding hybrid buses to the city's mass transit system, and building "green" libraries, public schools and police stations. Mayor Daley served as honorary co-chair of the Chicago Cool Globes project.
Not one of my prettiest plants, but the Globe thistle has a pretty neat looking flower head. The bees and butterflies love this. From my garden in Candia.

Small business gained new insight on partnering with federal and state governments during a contracting symposium held recently at the Monroe campus of Northampton County Community College.
The Northeast Pennsylvania Alliance (NEPA) organized the showcase that drew more than 100 attendees and businesses from the region.
NEPA Alliance Chief Executive Officer Jeff Box opened the event, stating that this past year a partnership between NEPA’s Procurement Technical Assistance Center (PTAC), the Department of Defense, the state and the depot helped small business secure more than $70 million in government contracts.
Judy Haff, chief of the Army Contracting Command (ACC) at Tobyhanna discussed present and emerging opportunities at the depot. Last year ACC and the depot awarded more than $22 million in local contracts for products and services.
With the electronics world moving in new directions, Tobyhanna is positioned to take advantage of these emerging opportunities and is looking for partners to help meet the demand.
“There are a lot of opportunities for small business contracts at the depot,” Haff said. “We’re looking for vendors that can provide products and services to support the depot’s mission — anything from cable and wire to construction to test equipment to hard-to-find parts for production.”
Partnering with local business is essential for the depot. Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines rely on Tobyhanna to have the radios, computers, radars, robots and weapons systems ready to go whenever and wherever they need them, anywhere around the globe.
“Our engagement with business partners, surrounding communities and educational institutions ensures we will always fulfill our mission,” said Col. Gerhard P.R. Schröter, depot commander.
“We’re here to help guide them through the process because they’re going to help Tobyhanna,” Haff added.
Small Business Specialist David Kern and Management Analyst Jenny Croughn manned the depot’s exhibit and conferred with a constant stream of eager business owners and entrepreneurs pursuing best practices for contracting.
“The line never stopped,” said Kern. “I met a lot of people and answered many questions. It was a good opportunity to interact with the business community.”
With additional construction and production requirements coming down the road, business owners and entrepreneurs can look to ACC for ways to move forward. The Tobyhanna team routinely guides participants through the in-depth process to land successful contracts with the depot.
“There are a lot of layers to government contracting.” Haff said. “It’s very complex. We’ll do what we can and with PTAC, help them get started and be successful.”
