Q: How to add custom attributes as top navigation menu items? I am trying to categorize my products by different attributes for easy cross-match layered navigation. Example:

*

*(category) shoes, clothes... // i have these categories already

*(color): red, black... // attribute

*(material): leather, fabric... // attribute

*etc.

Achieving this by creating categories only for the attributes is not helpful as it seems Magento cannot cross-match 2 different categories. Also repeating the same properties as a subcategory for each item is not a good option for this store in particular (e.g. Shoes/red, Shoes/black, T-shirt/red, T-shirt/black etc) . So I am looking for a way to give the customer the ability to browse not only by category but also by attributes and cross match those at any time. Example: start by material Leather and then cross-match it with color Red in layered navigation.
So instead of having the default menu structure:
Cat1 Cat2 Cat3 ... (with subcategories)
I want to have a top menu like:
Browse by: Category Attr1 Attr2 Attr3
Where hovering Category will unfold the subcategories and AttrN will unfold the used values for the custom attribute.
This will also help to avoid the current problem of having too many root-level categories (resulting in multi-line top menu).
How can I achieve this?

A: This may not be exactly what you need, and it will not work if you have a lot of attributes but it might help you.
I recommend you this free extension. It allows you to build custom product lists and add links to them in the main menu based on some rules. The rules are managed in the same way as you manage the catalog discount rules.
A full description on what it does and how can be found here.
So you have to create a rule for each attribute and each value of that attribute.
You might need to work a bit on it to group the menu items somehow.
Like I said, if you have a lot of attributes and a lot of values for them it may not work for you.

A: Try this extension
https://github.com/faranaky/magento2-simple-menu
I think this should satisfy your requirement as it provides a feature to add Mega Menu with navigation type as product's attribute


We all know we should, but we can graciously take only so many house salads or side orders of steamed broccoli.
There is a palatable alternative though. Three local eateries have turned vegetables from an afterthought to a delicious main event, with flavor to spare.
Salads and wraps are made-to-order in front of the customer.
A big hurdle to healthy eating is taking the time to wash, prep and creatively cook a variety of nutritious ingredients. Caryite Michelle Woodward is on a mission to eliminate that challenge.
Owner and founder of Diced Gourmet Salads & Wraps, Woodward identified a need for convenient, healthy fare as a college student.
Fresh food fast is the mission at Diced Gourmet Salads & Wraps, where you'll find unique flavor combinations, quality ingredients and house-made dressings.
Offerings include an all-star lineup of super foods: kale, spinach, avocado, almonds, quinoa, grass-fed beef and extra virgin olive oil, as well as countless other fresh vegetables, high quality proteins and house-made dressings.
"Ingredients are our number one priority. We offer the highest quality meats and veggies you can find," said Woodward.
The Spicy Thai Salad with shrimp is Woodward's favorite and features edamame, carrots, red cabbage, green onion, jalapeños, chow mein noodles and peanuts with Thai ginger dressing.
One of Cary's longest standing and best loved restaurants, Maximillians Grill & Wine Bar has a history of farm fresh dining.
Spiral cut kohlrabi replaces noodles in a southwestern inspired vegetarian entree.
"Before there were farm-to-table restaurants, Michael (Schiffer) was doing that out of a little Hardee's building," said current proprietor Margie Hennessee, recalling the restaurant's early days and its original owner, under whom she and husband Will worked as sous chefs.
Since acquiring the restaurant in late 2015, the Hennessees have preserved these traditions and added twists of their own. At first glance, the Maximillians menu reads like many upscale bistros — seared tuna, diver scallops, roast duck — and then you begin to notice the abundance of unique flavors and vegetable preparations.
Parsnip puree, arugula, oven-roasted tomatoes and carrot-orange gastrique accompany the scallop entree, for example, and the airline chicken breast is served with a spaghetti squash and eggplant ratatouille — a far cry from a side of mashed potatoes or a bread basket.
The menu at Maximillians Grill & Wine bar showcases vegetables from top to bottom, from the sauces and relishes to the side items, often replacing a starchy side like pasta.
Any Maximillians' entree can easily be made vegetarian, she says, but Hennessee prefers the made-to-order approach, which showcases the myriad vegetables on hand.
One recent made-to-order creation featured kohlrabi (a relative of cabbage) spiral cut into "noodles," served with watermelon radish, jalapeño and a smoked chipotle cumin cream with sweet potatoes and red onion, bell peppers, snow peas, heirloom tomatoes and cilantro — a veritable farmer's market in one dish.
"A lot of people are eating vegetarian and vegan just because it's good," Hennessee said.
That's a surprising statement coming from Chef Johnny Carlo of Medley, a new Triangle food truck set to change how the area thinks about healthy eating. But it's also a testament to Medley's commitment to really delicious, albeit nutritious food.
"I cook in a way that if I like it, I know someone else will," said Carlo.
Medley was founded by Sam Sager and Zac Strom, who met at a previous job and realized a shared passion for community-centric businesses and healthy eating. Like Michelle Woodward at Diced, the two want to fill the industry gap for quick and convenient healthy food.
Medley's wholesome food truck fare proves health food never has to be bland or boring.
"Health food has a bad reputation. We want to prove it can taste good and be convenient," said Sager. His personal experience with dietary restrictions — he has Celiac disease and Type 1 diabetes — has given him strong insight into the limitations healthy eating often brings. Medley's goal is to make healthy eating accessible and more sustainable for everyone.
The food truck's mouth-watering centerpiece is the Cauliflower "Mac" and Cheese, a comforting and rich concoction featuring a traditional béchamel, a quartet of cheeses and of course loads of cauliflower. The pasta-free dish can be topped with bacon and grilled chicken or an assortment of veggies, including broccoli and crispy kale.
"We've had parents say, 'Don't tell my kids it's cauliflower,'" said Sager.
Other offerings include breakfast scrambles and sauté bowls, all served with hearty helpings of vegetables, like the Braised Brisket Special served over sautéed bok choy, carrots, squash and a homemade bourbon reduction.
Medley also wants to deliver its passion for healthy food beyond the food truck window, with a program called Medley at Home. A counterpart to cook-at-home services like Blue Apron or Hello Fresh, Medley at Home supplies pre-cooked, but not assembled, wholesome ingredients.
"Busy families want fresh, healthy food, but don't always have the time or resources to cook it," said Strom. A Medley at Home package includes bases, like sweet potatoes and brown rice, proteins and an assortment of vegetables.
Diced is amazing! Kale Me Crazy over at Waverly Place is another good option to get your veggies at too!

Ariane 5 Rocket Blasts Off on 250th Launch with 2 Satellites
By Stephen Clark 2014-02-07T18:42:22Z
An Arianespace Ariane 5 rocket launches toward space carrying the ABS-2 telecommunications satellite for Asia Broadcast Satellite and the defense satellite Athena-Fidus for France and Italy. Liftoff occurred on Feb. 6, 2014 from the Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana in South America.

Dual payloads to broadcast television and broadband signals for Asia Broadcast Satellite and French and Italian security forces rocketed into orbit on an Ariane 5 rocket Thursday on Arianespace's landmark 250th launch.
The fiery evening liftoff from the frontier of the Amazon jungle began a half-hour ascent, with the Ariane 5's twin solid rocket boosters expending more than a million pounds of pre-packed powder propellant, and the launcher's hydrogen-fueled first and second stages thrusting toward an orbit reaching as high as 22,330 miles above Earth.
The launch occurred at 2130 GMT (4:30 p.m. EST), one hour later than planned as ground teams waited for stormy weather to pass over the space base in Kourou, French Guiana. [Amazing Rocket Launches of 2014 (Photos)]
The delay broke a nearly three-year streak without any countdown holds after the launch team had fueled an Ariane 5 rocket.
Stephàne Israël, Arianespace's chairman and CEO, hailed the launch as a success in remarks to VIPs inside the Guiana Space Center's Jupiter control center.

The flight marked the 58th consecutive success for the Ariane 5 rocket dating back to 2003.
The 166-foot-tall launcher raced through clouds hanging over the French Guiana space center, quickly disappearing from the views of spectators on the ground.
But one observer with a uniquely high vantage point, NASA astronaut Rick Mastracchio, saw the rocket streak into orbit from the International Space Station. Mastracchio posted a photo of the launch on his Twitter account.
"My satisfaction is all the greater that tonight's mission is the very symbol of Arianespace's dual raison d'être," Israël said. "Arianespace provides Europe with a guaranteed and independent access to space, while at the same time it delivers high-quality launch services to commercial satellite operators worldwide."
At the top of the tandem payload stack for Thursday's launch was the 13,955-pound ABS 2 spacecraft for Hong Kong-based Asia Broadcast Satellite. Built by Space Systems/Loral of Palo Alto, Calif., the powerful telecom platform will beam direct-to-home television, multimedia and data transmission services across the Eastern Hemisphere, reaching a geographic swath from Europe and Africa, across the Middle East, Russia and India, to Southeast Asia and China. [Spaceflight Now Photos: Ariane 5 Rocket Rolls Out to Launch Pad]
The commercial ABS 2 satellite is starting a 15-year operational lifetime, but the first leg of the mission will be to boost itself into a circular geosynchronous orbit 22,300 miles high. The craft will appear parked over a fixed location along the equator at 75 degrees east longitude.

ABS 2 is equipped with 89 transponders in Ku-band, C-band and Ka-band.
According to Asia Broadcast Satellite, the spacecraft has 10 beams, with six dedicated to Ku-band television transmissions throughout the Eastern Hemisphere. C-band beams will focus on Africa and Southeast Asia to boost connectivity there, and a single Ka-band beam will serve commercial and military users over the Middle East and North Africa.
The lower passenger for the Ariane 5 rocket was Athena-Fidus, a communications satellite financed by the French and Italian governments to serve military and security forces. Athena-Fidus will complement the Syracuse and Sicral national military communications satellites operated by France and Italy. The countries have embarked on a cost-sharing strategy to jointly develop communications satellites for defense authorities.
While other indigenous and NATO military satellites offer the French and Italian governments ultra-secure, jam-resistant communications links, the purpose of Athena-Fidus is to provide broadband services beyond the telephone, fax and Intranet capabilities of the Syracuse and Sicral networks. Focusing on non-strategic communications for users like fire brigades, national police and homeland security officials, Athena-Fidus will support more modern services such as high-speed Internet and video conferencing.

"The launch of Athena-Fidus, followed at the end of the year by Sicral 2, is the culmination of the first concrete collaboration in Europe, between Italy and France, for a military and dual space telecom program," said Bertrand Maureau, vice president for telecommunications at Thales Alenia Space, contractor for the Athena-Fidus project along with Telespazio. "This new and highly innovative satellite will naturally pave the way for government broadband contracts. We hope that Thales Alenia Space will be able to offer its experience and expertise to other government customers, whether for its proven dual technology solutions, or to support the development of new partnerships."
Featuring EHF and Ka-band transponders, Athena-Fidus will be joined by Sicral 2, another Franco-Italian military communications satellite, scheduled for launch aboard another Ariane 5 rocket in late 2014.
The next Ariane 5 launch is scheduled for March 7 with another flight with a pair of communications satellite. Next time the Ariane launcher will haul up the ASTRA 5B and Amazonas 4A telecom birds.

Solo // MAY 30, 2018
Designing Solo: A Star Wars Story, Part 1: Making Lando's Millennium Falcon
Lucasfilm's design supervisor, James Clyne, tells StarWars.com about reimagining the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy.
Kristin Baver	Kristin Baver is a journalist who loved science fiction before she could even write her own name. (Seriously, she was a card-carrying member of the Star Wars Fan Club when she had no other real reason to own a wallet.) Now she gets paid to pen stories and book reviews, interview fellow fans, writers, and other interesting people, and aspires to one day craft a Boushh disguise and join the ranks of the 501st Legion.
When James Clyne first envisioned remaking the Millennium Falcon, he pictured the ship that made the Kessel Run having its perfect and pristine hull stripped away, panel by panel, to reveal the hunk of junk beneath the shiny exterior.
The move would be a combination of movie magic and something of a parlor trick. "The way I saw it, it's like ripping a tablecloth off, you know those magicians that rip a tablecloth off and everything is still there? All the things that we know and love about Han Solo's ship is underneath that. That was kind of the starting off point."
Clyne, Lucasfilm's design supervisor for Solo: A Star Wars Story, and his team ultimately created about 60 iterations of the fastest ship in the galaxy before landing on the design that's featured in the new film, out now. The process took Clyne back to his childhood and essentially transported the entire crew back to the 1970s to explore muscle car culture, model building, and the original concept art that inspired the creators of Star Wars in 1977.
"I think the big exciting thing about doing a new Falcon was the question of, we all know what an old Millennium Falcon looks like, but what does the new Millennium Falcon look like? That was really exciting," Clyne says. "What does a clean Millennium Falcon look like? I think that was the big thing that I always wanted to see going into the movie. As a kid, I just loved it for what it was. I thought it was perfect. But when it was proposed that you would see a cleaner, newer Lando version, I couldn't get more excited about and more scared about that prospect," he says with a laugh. "There was a certain level of sheer terror in taking this on. I mean, it's like the most beloved thing you've ever seen in the Star Wars universe. It's like somebody asking you to change the Eiffel Tower or something."
A 40-year mystery
"We went kind of crazy in the beginning with ideas," Clyne says, with designs that at one point called for adding another cockpit to the craft to make the unmistakable silhouette more symmetrical and "huge spoilers on the back like a hot rod."
The script called for an escape pod, "and we knew we wanted the escape pod on the nose. Is it just another spaceship, just superglued on the front of it? Does it integrate with the ship perfectly so that when it comes off it's a big surprise?" Clyne asks. "And that was definitely the story dictating the design. For me, even though I deal in the world of design, I think story should be first and foremost. It's our job to certainly service the story and not the other way around."
In reimagining the iconic ship, Clyne had the chance to answer something he'd been wondering about since he was a kid playing with his own toy version. "It always had that funny little gap in the front — the mandibles — and even as a kid, I remember getting the Millennium Falcon toy and I always wondered, why is it shaped this way? Was there something that was supposed to go there? Was there more to it? It was always kind of a mystery to me and here I am 40 years later actually having to solve that problem."
It's an opportunity his eight-year-old self never could have even dreamed of. "People ask me, like, is this a dream come true? And I say it's not because it's a dream I never simply had. It didn't seem possible, but, in fact, I think Star Wars is the reason I work in the film industry…The one thing that sparked it off was having those toys. Those toys were so influential on understanding not only film but design."
The Falcon of Clyne's childhood, especially rendered in plastic, "was like an RV for your toys. They can play in the back, they can play in the front, they can do some holochess in the middle. The X-wing was great because you could get one pilot in there, but the Falcon was like this big RV that you get to put all your characters together and they go on little adventures."
McQuarrie's vision
In designing Solo, Clyne referred back to the Star Wars design equivalent of a Jedi Master — Ralph McQuarrie. In McQuarrie's original sketches and paintings of the Falcon, the ship was simple yet distinct, and sleeker than the piece of junk that ultimately ended up on screen.
"We are constantly pulling from every little sketch that we can possibly find," Clyne says. "And in fact one of Ralph's earliest Docking Bay 94 paintings of the Falcon was a big influence because it had less detail. We just went right back to the well and looked at all the Ralph McQuarrie stuff…a lot of the early designs were pretty clean, were pretty slick.
"I love doing my homework. I love research. So we found a lot of old storyboards when they didn't quite know what the Falcon was and it was just a little cleaner. You could see a little bit of the influence and again I think this stuff is just gold. You can't make this stuff up, it's already there. And we're making movies that are based on the history of all this stuff." In that way, the new Falcon honors the tradition of the legends who created the original. "It looks like something Ralph McQuarrie could have come up with and did in part."
As a child, Clyne pored over the Star Wars sketchbooks to better understand how designers arrived at the final creations on the screen. "I had this Empire Strikes Back sketchbook. They did three books that were just Joe Johnston and Ralph McQuarrie sketches and I got that when I was like 8 and it showed that ideas can come from the simplest places, like pencil on paper. It was kind of mind blowing to see the origins of that. It's like seeing like [Leonardo] da Vinci's drawings before the Mona Lisa," Clyne says, his voice filled with awe. "Seeing the painting, the Mona Lisa, or seeing a Ralph McQuarrie painting, I'm just so intimidated by all of that. But seeing a sketch…It gave me a way into it and I still have that sketchbook. I drew in the sketchbook. You've got a beautiful Joe Johnston drawing and you've got this like terrible, you know, remake of it."
Back to the model shop
Clyne encouraged his team of artists to use muscle cars as inspiration for bulked up hulls and paint schematics, even jokingly rendering the Falcon emblazoned with flames and another souped up like a Pontiac Trans Am. "I think everybody was just at that point like, 'OK, are they blue stripes, are they yellow stripes, or are they red stripes?' And I just threw this into one of our reviews. Very Smokey and the Bandit… I think everybody got a good laugh and I was able to lighten things up a little bit."
Clyne's Falcon had to be accessible, organic and intuitive, memorable but believable. "I always wanted the spoilers to be bigger. You'll notice that there is a bigger spoiler on it. As a kid coming from the '80s, spoilers were quite the thing, and in fact a lot of the influence on Solo design came from the muscle car generation. It came from the '70s and '80s simply because I think these movies…they're more historical dramas than they are futuristic sci-fi movies. They're influenced by what George [Lucas] was influenced by, like Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers, and car culture, so we should be influenced by that. If we're not — if we're influenced by other things — then I feel like it's not Star Wars. So early on I showed a lot of reference of muscle cars and '70s bike culture, motorcycle culture, which is what goes into Enfys Nest and then just car culture. There were a lot of other things, too, like New York in the '80s punk rock."
Clyne's approach for Solo also honored the original film's model makers with some hands-on design work to ensure the Falcon they built felt realistic. "I always ask myself what would ILM or these artists and designers be doing…[in] 1971, 1970? What if they were around and they made this movie before A New Hope, what would they be building? What would it look like? How would they be building it?"
Clyne and his team bought some of the 1:72 scale Millennium Falcon model kits available on the market today, and three model makers gathered in a little shop at Pinewood Studios where they started adding parts and removing others, the next step in visualizing the ship they'd been trying to draw out of their heads. "To do it in a physical way, rather than a digital way, that really got us into the conversation. We're always going to take this and put it in the computer, but as a design tool, what if we just went old school and built it from the kits? I think everybody really appreciated seeing something physical and holding it and being able to look at it as a tactile thing rather than spinning on a monitor."
Beyond using some of the original techniques, Clyne says he is always cognizant of how the design capabilities and contemporary pop culture of the 1970s influenced the Star Wars aesthetic.
"Just because you can, doesn't mean you should," he often reminds himself. "At ILM and Lucasfilm, we have the technology to do just about anything. Back then they were pretty limited in what they could do, but out of those limitations became what it was. Out of those limitations came the Star Wars aesthetic. If we just give ourselves some ground rules then those rules help guide us into what it should ultimately be.
"I'm always trying to find the most distilled basic solution to our problems," Clyne says. "The old [Falcon] is just beautiful…an eight-year-old can sketch the Falcon. That's the tough part with all of this. It's so tough to do something really distinct and on the other side do something very simple."
That's precisely how McQuarrie and George Lucas first envisioned the galaxy far, far away — by starting with basic shapes and adding exhaust ports and other myriad details to create a piece of machinery that seemed like a believable method for traversing the stars. "We dealt in very simple shapes," Clyne says. "Those shapes become iconic and then it just becomes, I think, Star Wars. So with that in mind, [Lando's] Falcon had to be unique, but it had to be simple, and I think we started with a lot of detail and a lot of different options and it eventually just got distilled further and further down into a very simple shape."
Next up — Clyne takes us on a journey behind the scenes of designing the Kessel Run sequence in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Solo: A Star Wars Story is in theaters now.

A: one way is to use percent not the pixel values and I think the negative values won't work in margin.

A: for this, you can use media queriesin CSS.
For example, for showing the content on your website on mobile, I would do:
@media (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 767px) {
    .flex-container { flex-flow: column; }
    .flex-container > div { width: 100% }
    .second-section { margin-top: 10px }
}

To also cover the tablet size, just change (max-width: 767px) to (max-width: 1024px) and the sections will stack on tablet as well.
So, your full CSS would be:
.flex-container {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  /*background-color: DodgerBlue;*/
}

.flex-container > div {
 /* background-color: #f1f1f1;*/
  margin: 10px;
  text-align: center;
  line-height: 75px;
  font-size: 30px;
}

#first-section{
    width: 30%;

}

#second-section{
    width: 60%;
    margin-top: -200px;
    background: white
}

@media (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 767px) {
    .flex-container { flex-flow: column; }
    .flex-container > div { width: 100% }
    .second-section { margin-top: 10px }
}

Here is a list of useful media queries for different devices: CSS Media Queries for Desktop, Tablet, Mobile

A: Please use below code in your style file.Hope so this gives your expected output for mobile or iPad.
@media screen and (max-width: 1279px) {
 .flex-container {
   flex-direction: column;
  }
  #first-section, #second-section {
   width: 100%;
  }

}

Ukrainian forces withdrew from Soledar after intense battle
Ukrainian forces have withdrawn from the small town of Soledar after weeks of fierce fighting, a military spokesman said Wednesday, acknowledging a military gain for Russian forces that brings them closer to encirclement and eventual capture of the eastern strategic city of Bakhmut.
Colonel Sergei Cherevaty, spokesman for the Eastern Ukraine Military Command, said Soledar's retirement was ordered "to preserve our personnel".
"Russian forces expended colossal resources in lives and equipment to take Soledar while Ukraine was able to preserve its forces and prevent encirclement," he said in an interview.
Soledar, which had around 10,000 inhabitants before the war, lies 10 km northeast of Bakhmut, a town in eastern Ukraine known as Donbass. Russian President Vladimir V. Putin has sought to fully take over Donbass, which includes two regions – Donetsk and Lugansk. Since last summer, Russian forces have both shelled Bakhmut and fought for the towns around it, aiming to secure heights from which to position artillery and also to cut off roads used by Ukraine to reinforce his troops defending the city.
Pavlo Kyrylenko, the head of Ukraine's military administration in Donetsk, which includes Soledar, said on Tuesday that Russian forces had shelled a series of towns in the region, including Paraskoviivka, which lies just west of Soledar. One person died in that attack, he said.
Moscow has held significant territory in the Donbass since 2014, including two regional capitals. But since capturing two key towns in Luhansk last summer, Russian military advances in the Donbass have been slow. Russian and Ukrainian forces suffered heavy casualties in heavy shelling and trench warfare. In recent weeks, soldiers have also had to endure freezing cold and mud.
The capture of Soledar marks a victory for the Kremlin but also for Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the private military company Wagner, who led much of Russia's fighting around Bakhmut. Mr. Prighozin, a close associate of Mr. Putin, presented the Battle of Bakhmut as a measure of the effectiveness of his fighting force.
Wagner said earlier this month that Soledar had fallen, and military experts have said since last week that Ukraine appears to have fallen back. Wagner also said last week that he had captured the village of Klishchiivka, a few kilometers south of Bakhmut, in a further sign of his advance towards encirclement of the city. There was no comment from the Ukrainian military on this claim.
Russian forces are "already increasing the pressure" towards Bakhmut, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a speech Tuesday evening, adding: "And they want to increase the pressure on a larger scale."

Greenwich Village (often referred to as "West Village" or simply "the Village") is a well-known, largely residential district in Manhattan, once famous for its vibrant art and literary community. Nowadays the neighborhood is so gentrified that the artists and poets who once lived here wouldn't be able to afford the rents, but the Village is still worth a visit for its lovely tree-lined streets and colorful history. Centered around Washington Square Park and the campus of New York University (NYU), the neighborhood sits west of Broadway between Houston Street and SoHo on the south and 14th Street and Chelsea on the north.
The Italianate Judson Memorial Church, right across the street from Washington Square Park, has been a part of the landscape in the Village since 1896
Greenwich Village was once a large industrial park; later, it was colonized by radicals, bohemians, beatniks, artists, and literary greats squatting in abandoned factories. High rents exclude most of their ilk today (their countercultural counterparts are NYU students with parental support) but the Village still has its charm.
Greenwich Village, home to a vibrant artistic and literary community in the 1950s, occupies the space between Houston Street and 14th Street. The central portion surrounds Washington Square Park and includes NYU's large campus and a thriving B&T (bridge & tunnel - a pejorative term) nightlife scene on MacDougal Street. West of University Place are many historic and attractive brownstones and some of the city's best restaurants and bars. The area's traditional avant garde reputation - it was a major center of the gay rights movement in the 1970s, for example - has somewhat faded as yuppies and movie stars move in.
Many people worldwide who have never been to the Village are familiar with the Village Voice newspaper, which is actually published in the East Village.
Greenwich Village is also the main setting for the TV series Friends as Monica's apartment has a Grove St. address, and there are numerous references to nearby areas such as Bleecker St. and SoHo (although the series was actually filmed in the Warner Brother studios in Los Angeles).
Note that the "East Village" was not historically part of Greenwich Village and is still considered by many New Yorkers to be part of the Lower East Side, but the term "West Village" is synonymous with Greenwich Village, or at least that part of the neighborhood that is west of 6th Av. or so. In the 19th century, Greenwich Village's eastern portion was better known as Washington Square. Washington Square Park remains a neighborhood landmark, but the terms "The Village," "Greenwich Village," and "West Village" are practically interchangeable.
Map of Greenwich Village
By subway[edit]
Greenwich Village is served by many subway lines:
The 1, 2, and 3 lines run under 7th Avenue, with the 1 stopping at Christopher Street station (next to the picturesque Sheridan Square) and all three stopping at 14th Street (a passageway allows free transfer to 14th St./6th Av. station).
The A, B, C, D, E, F, and M lines stop in the middle of the Village at the West 4th Street station (at the intersection of West 4th Street and 6th Avenue), with the A, C, and E serving 14th St. and 8th Av. station and the F and M lines serving 14th St. and 6th Av. station (a passageway at 14th St./6th Av. allows free transfer to 14th St./7th Av. station).
The R and W line runs under Broadway, along with the N at night and on weekends, serving the 8th Street NYU and Union Square stations on the edge of the neighborhood.
The L line runs under 14th Street, stopping at the 14th St./6th Av., 14th St./8th Av., and Union Square stations.
The 4, 5, 6, and Q lines also serve Union Square.
By PATH[edit]
The PATH (Port Authority Trans-Hudson) train, a subway-style transit system, is convenient and inexpensive for going to points on 6th Av. up to 33 St. (one block east of Penn Station) and to Hoboken and Journal Square in New Jersey. One can transfer from Journal Square to the PATH line that terminates at Newark - Penn Station (not to be confused with New York's Penn Station), and get from there to Newark Airport by local Newark bus. Within Greenwich Village, the PATH stops at Christopher St. between Hudson and Greenwich Sts. and at both 9th St. and 14th St. at 6th Avenue.
The double-decker tour buses whisk their way up 6th Av., but why not take an MTA bus, get off, and do your own tour?
In this neighborhood, the following uptown/downtown buses operate:
The M20 goes uptown on Hudson St. and 8th Av., downtown on 7th Av.
The M5 and M6 go uptown on 6th Av.. The M6 goes downtown on Broadway, the M5 on 5th Av. to 8th St., then east on 8th and downtown on Broadway to its terminus on Houston St.
The M3 goes uptown on University Place and downtown on 5th Av.
The M2 goes uptown on 4th Av. and downtown on 5th Av.
The M11 goes uptown on Greenwich St. and downtown on Hudson St. to and from Abingdon Square.
There is also the M7, which has its downtown terminus on 14th St. and Broadway, just south of Union Square.
There are also crosstown buses:
The M14 goes across 14th St.
The M8 goes west on 9th and Christopher Sts., east on 10th and 8th Sts.
The M14 is by far the most frequent at all hours. There is also a crosstown bus on Houston St., the M21, but it runs fairly infrequently and tends to get backed up in traffic, so it is not recommended if there is a good alternative. The M21 does not run between approximately midnight and 6AM See the MTA website for more information.
On foot[edit]
A tree-lined street in Greenwich Village
If you are close enough to walk to the Village, do it. Walking is the best way to experience the character of neighborhoods in Manhattan and the contrast and continuity between them.
By bicycle[edit]
The park along the Hudson River has a popular bike path. Many people also ride along city streets in this neighborhood, many of which are pretty quiet side streets.
It is possible to take some of the aforementioned buses along the avenues in the Village, but there are so many side streets that are worth wandering on and cannot be accessed by public transit. Walking is really optimal, or you can cycle. Cabs are numerous throughout the neighborhood, too.
40.73-73.9951 New York University (NYU). The main campus for NYU is found in Greenwich Village, centered around Washington Square Park.
40.730833-73.99752 Washington Square Park (between Washington Square North, Washington Square South, Washington Square East, and Washington Square West). The park and its famous arch are located in the heart of the Village. Though located in the middle of an affluent neighborhood, the park attracts a hodgepodge of people. During the warmer months of the school term, the park is a favourite hangout spot for students from nearby NYU. Part of the charm of the park is the view of the buildings across the street. All these buildings are now owned by NYU, and though there has been some controversial construction in the early 2010s, most of the stately 19th-century dwellings pictured in the classic movie The Heiress (based on Henry James' novel, Washington Square) are still there for you to enjoy looking at.
40.73214-74.00583 Grove Court, Grove St (just off Hudson Street). The setting for O'Henry's famous short story, The Last Leaf.
40.733872-74.0021754 Stonewall National Monument, ☏ +1 212-668-2577. (updated Jun 2019)
40.736611-74.0097225 Bell Labs Building, 463 West Street. For much of the early 20th century, this building was home to Bell Telephone Laboratories and was the largest industrial research facility in the US. A long list of inventions such as talking movies, TV (black/white and color), radar, the vacuum tube, and the transistor came from this lab. The High Line railroad actually went through the building in a tunnel, although the more recent High Line linear park does not reach this far south. After Bell Labs moved out in 1966, the building was remodeled as the Westbeth Artists' Housing complex.
Cherry Lane Theater
Greenwich Village has developed as a home for a significant number of off-Broadway theater companies and lots of music venues.
40.7311-74.00521 Cherry Lane Theater, 38 Commerce St, ☏ +1 212 989-2020.
40.7314-74.00082 West 4th Street Courts, W 4th Street and 6th Avenue (atop the West 4th Street subway station). Even if you haven't heard of these basketball courts, you've probably seen them in TV commercials and movies, as "The Cage" (referring to the small, chain-link fence enclosed court) is the site of many intense, very physical pick-up games and informal "streetball" tournament matches. It's not a place to play unless you really know what you're getting into, but it's worth watching if you're interested in a more intense, physical form of basketball.
Film[edit]
40.73122-74.001663 IFC Center, 323 Sixth Ave, ☏ +1 212 924-7771. An art house theater showing independent films and documentaries. It is owned by the IFC network (an extension of AMC), so a lot of premiers and television broadcasts take place here.
40.73586-73.996044 Quad Cinema, 34 West 13th St, ☏ +1 212 255-2243. One of the older independent cinemas, showing a regular schedule of independent, foreign and documentary films.
40.72589-73.997145 Angelika Film Center, 18 West Houston St (Subway: N or R to Prince Street), ☏ +1 212 995-2000. Just down the street from Film Forum, the Angelika plays new independent and foreign films, many of which are screened in no American city but New York. The cafe upstairs is something of a hotspot as well.
40.734096-73.9933546 Cinema Village, 22 East 12th St, ☏ +1 212 629-5097. Cinema Village specializes in showing documentaries, independent and foreign films. Often the films there will not be playing anywhere else in the country and Q&As with directors are common at opening weekends.
Music[edit]
40.736-74.0016117 Village Vanguard, 178 7th Avenue South (just south of 11th St.), ☏ +1 212 255-4037. Presents a great lineup of jazz performers in a quiet room (except for the music) that has good acoustics.
40.7308-74.00118 Blue Note, 131 West 3rd St. (between 6th Av. and Macdougal St.), ☏ +1 212 475-8592. Also has a lineup of famous jazz and blues performers. It feels a little more like a bar (with people talking during the show) and a little less like a venue that's only about the music.
40.73438-74.00279 Small's, 183 W. 10 St. (between W. 4th St. and 7th Av.), ☏ +1 212 675-7369. A great place to hear excellent jazz at low prices.
40.7338-74.001410 55 Bar, 55 Christopher St (Between 6th and 7th Av), ☏ +1 212-929-9883. This bar has some good blues and jazz acts, but what's so unusual about it is that it dates back to 1919 and still has a lot of the original furnishings and Beaux Arts-style lamps. Keep your drink orders simple and enjoy the atmosphere. (updated Sep 2015)
The Northern Dispensary at 167 Waverly Place near Christopher Square was built as a clinic for the poor in 1831, when Greenwich Village represented the far north of New York City
The Village is full of unique stores, sometimes so specialized in what they sell that you might feel as if you just walked into your secret collection of some obscure item that you assumed nobody else cared about. There are record stores which sell only oldie vinyls, bookstores larger than an average library, and chess shops where a full chess set might rival with a car in price.
40.72873-73.999141 [formerly dead link] Generation Records, 210 Thompson St, ☏ +1 212 254-1100. Best place in the city to buy hardcore, metal, industrial, punk, and alternative records.
40.73437-74.001542 Three Lives & Company, 154 W. 10th St (at Waverly). A local independent bookstore, this microscopic yet utterly delightful place is the essence of Greenwich Village, with an extremely knowledgeable and passionate staff.
40.72997-73.993253 Warehouse Wines and Spirits, 735 Broadway (between Waverly Place and Astor Place, just a bit south of 8th Street), ☏ +1 212 982-7770. Monday-Thursday: 9AM to 8:45PM, Friday-Saturday: 9AM to 9:45PM; Sunday: noon to 6:45PM. Generally quite inexpensive wines and liquors, good recommendations and fast service.
40.73947-74.003084 Shoegasm, 71 8th Avenue (between 13th and 14th Sts.), ☏ +1 212-691-2091. M Tu 10AM-8PM, W-Sa 10AM-9PM, Su 11AM-7PM. Fashionable shoes for men and women at affordable prices. The Chelsea location (one of five in Manhattan) boasts a unique aesthetic with antique furniture, Persian rugs, and brick walls.
Groceries and Eateries can be found on almost every street of Greenwich Village
You'll find hundreds of restaurants and sidewalk cafés of virtually every culture. All-American, Mexican, Indian, Italian, Polish, Pakistani, Spanish, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese...the list goes on... At many spots you'll find affordable eats with the chance to enjoy your meal on the sidewalk. There are also some well-known upscale restaurants in the neighborhood.
40.72741-74.000391 Arturo's, 106 West Houston St (at Houston and Thompson), ☏ +1 212 677-3820. Su 3PM-midnight, M-Th 4PM-1AM, F Sa 4PM-2AM. A popular local pizza restaurant with an "old-time" theme, serving coal oven pizza with a lightly charred, crispy crust. There is live jazz there every night.
40.73233-73.999232 Babbo, 110 Waverly Pl (between Washington Square West and 6th Av.), ☏ +1 212 777-0303. The most famous of Chef Mario Batali's restaurants, and especially well-known for its pasta tasting menu. Reserve a month in advance or stand on line before opening time (5:30PM on weekdays and 5:00PM on Sundays) to try to get a seat at the bar or one of the tables kept open for walk-ins. Babbo is one of the hardest restaurants to get a reservation at in New York, which should indicate something about its popularity. Do not expect a cheap meal, but this is one you don't have to dress up for.
40.73208-73.999643 Blue Hill, 75 Washington Pl (between Washington Square West and 6th Ave.), ☏ +1 212 539-1776. An upscale American restaurant known for its fresh ingredients and subtlety. Call ahead for reservations.
40.730597-74.0020984 Joe's Pizza, 7 Carmine St (at 6th and Bleecker), ☏ +1 212 366-1182. A very popular corner pizza joint that serves huge, thin crust slices fresh out of the oven. This is classic New York fast food - service is quick but the place is tiny, so you'll want to take your slice outside to eat.
40.7316-74.003365 John's Pizzeria, 278 Bleecker St (at Bleecker and Jones), ☏ +1 212 243-1680. A classic New York pizza place - a gritty joint with coal-fired brick oven, thin crust pizza. The lines are often long but the service is fast. Whole pies only, no slices. (updated Oct 2018)
40.72761-74.000156 Lupa Osteria Romana, 170 Thompson St. between West Houston and Bleecker Sts., ☏ +1 212 982-5089. Daily noon-midnight. This is yet another restaurant associated with Mario Batali, but the Executive Chef is Steve Connaughton. This is a good and sometimes very good, relatively informal, mid-priced eatery, with a good and fair-priced wine list, though the food can be overly salty at times. Every fan has their own favorite dishes. First-timers may want to share several smaller dishes instead of having full meals, in order to sample the cuisine, but the primi and secondi are also worthy. The excellent Tartufo is their best dessert. Reservations recommended; otherwise, you may have a long wait.
40.73024-74.000437 Mamoun's Falafel, 119 MacDougal St. 11AM-5AM. A hole in the wall place that serves arguably the most famous falafels in New York City.
40.73635-73.997238 Murray's Bagels, 500 Ave of the Americas (6th Ave) (at 13th St), ☏ +1 212 462-2830. M-F 6AM-9PM, Sa Su 6AM-8PM. This is a place that believes in the pure New York bagel — which means no toasting. Don't even bother asking. But the bagels are so fresh that it doesn't matter. It's often packed with long lines and the service is chaotic, but they give you a healthy amount of spread and toppings.
40.732-73.996259 Otto, 1 5th Ave (corner of 8th St.), ☏ +1 212 995-9559. The pizzeria in the Batali chain. Prices are much cheaper here than at Babbo, but the entire concept of the restaurant is different, so take it for what it is. The antipasti are great and the gelati as well as the pizza are well thought of. Good pasta dishes, too. Though the food is very good, the restaurant can be deafeningly loud, especially if you are in or close to the bar.
40.72915-74.0014710 Percy's Pizza, 190 Bleecker St.. M 11AM-2PM, 6-10PM; Tu 10AM-2PM, 6-8PM; W 11AM-1PM, 6-9PM, 11PM-midnight; Th 11AM-midnight; F 11AM-3AM; Sa 2PM - 3AM; Su 1-2PM, 6-7PM, 10-11PM. Pizza for minimalists. Percy's is a favorite among the collection of one-dollar pizza slice joints in the city. Inside is a cozy little room with about eight seats and a nice pizza cook. Know what you want when you step up to order and avoid trying to sit with any large groups; you'll quickly fill up the whole place. $1 cheese slice, $2 special slice, $1 12oz soda can.
40.73122-74.0003911 Red Bamboo, 140 W. 4th St. (one block SW of Washington Square Park), ☏ +1 212 260-7049. Excellent vegetarian soul food, organic wines.
40.734458-73.99335112 Strip House, 13 East 12th Street, ☏ +1 212 328-0000. Su M 5-10PM, Tu-Th 5-11PM, F Sa 5-11:30PM. Strip House is a privately owned fine dining chain of steakhouses. All locations have smaller, separate rooms for private dining and a gift card program. Strip House Next Door is next door at 11 East 12th Street. Similar hours and menu but closed Sunday & Monday.

40.73825-74.0018913 [dead link] Tea and Sympathy, 108 Greenwich Ave, ☏ +1 212 989-9735. M-F 11:30AM-10:30PM, Sa Su 9:30AM-10:30PM. Describes itself as "a quintessential corner of England in the heart of Greenwich Village", typically English meals are available here (perfect for the Anglophile or homesick Brit!)
40.7338-74.000614 Delice & Sarrasin, 20 Christopher St, ☏ +1 (212) 243-7200. French vegan crepes and galletes in a cozy setting. (updated Oct 2019)

While it's not the original incarnation of the bar that was the site of the Stonewall riots of 1969 (the building has gone through several uses since then), the current incarnation pays homage to the old and has regained its prominence as a meeting place in the LGBT community. You must be 21 and a proper ID is required. 2-drink minimum. (updated Mar 2020)
40.73249-73.998681 Washington Square Hotel, 103 Waverly Pl (near Washington Square Park), ☏ +1 212 777-9515. This hotel offers art deco styled furnishings and complimentary internet access at the lobby bar and considers itself a haven for writers, artists and visitors.

The building, formerly used as a courthouse, is a unique, fanciful neo-Gothic structure well worth looking at even if you don't plan on patronizing the library. (updated Sep 2015)
Respect[edit]
The Village thrives on French tourists, honeymooners from Texas, and day-trippers from uptown and all around the region. Having lots of people around all the time makes it feel safer, and the residents appreciate that. Most will happily take your picture, give you directions, and advise you about where to eat, etc. At the same time, the Village isn't an amusement park. The people who live there are generally rather sedate, and they cannot be on perpetual holiday. Most need a good night's sleep so they can get up for work in the morning. Have a heart: Don't make a lot of noise, or do anything else in public that you wouldn't want someone to do in front of your house!

CBA lifts hood on its mortgage book
Average loan size down a touch, says bank
By Priscilla Dickinson
Off the back of strong annual growth in home lending over the 2022 financial year, CBA has revealed further details about its mortgage book.
In the year ending June 30, 2022, Australia's biggest bank netted a cash profit after tax of $9.6 billion, up 11% year-on-year. Home lending grew by 7.4% over the year, representing a dollar value increase of $36.4 billion and system growth of 0.9 times.

As rising interest rates create a refinance boom and a downturn in housing values softens activity, MPA asked Australia's biggest bank what it is currently experiencing within its mortgage book.
CBA general manager third party banking Adam Croucher (pictured above) said the bank continues to take a "balanced approach" to home lending, with a focus on portfolio quality.
As of June 30, 70% of all new CBA mortgage loans written (excluding Bankwest) were for owner-occupiers, with first home buyers accounting for 10% of those loans, Croucher said. Investment loans made up the remaining 30%.
"Given the tightening rental market and increased rental yields, we expect to see continued growth in the investor market. As we move [further] into Spring, it is likely there will be an increase in housing stock coming on to the market which has the potential to draw out more demand from both owner occupiers and investors," Croucher said.
In line with increasing property values over the last few years, Croucher said the average loan size had been "trending higher".
But over the last six months, the average loan size has decreased "ever so slightly", he said.
"As of June 30, 2022, the average loan size was a bit under $400,000," Croucher said.

The current strong refinancing market, instigated by the tightening of monetary policy from May, indicated Australian borrowers were keeping a close eye on their home loan, doing their research, and making sure their loan fit their needs, he said.
"We encourage all mortgage holders to review their home loan on a regular basis and engage with their broker or lender to see what options may be best suited for their financial situation," Croucher said.
Much has been spoken about the 'fixed rate cliff', RBA deputy governor Michelle Bullock telling the Economic Society of Australia in July that almost 40% of households were on fixed mortgage rates in early 2022. The majority were due to roll off within the next two years, with the highest portion due to expire in the second half of 2023, she said.
In response to how CBA was working with brokers and customers approaching the end of their fixed rate mortgage term, Croucher said brokers played a "critical role" in speaking with their customers about their options.
CBA is working to ensure broker partners receive clear messages and regular communication, with access to tools and insights to enable informed discussions with customers to take place, he said.
"We contact customers to support the conversations they are having with their brokers. We notify customers before the end of their fixed rate that their home loan will switch to a variable rate home loan through a range of digital avenues such as email, NetBank or in the CommBank app, as well as a physical letter," Croucher said.
In a rising rate environment, when a customer's fixed term matures, it may mean they roll off into a higher interest variable rate, which could increase their minimum required repayments, he said.
"Customers will have the option to remain in a variable rate, re-fix their home loan by switching to another fixed rate or split their loan to help them manage their repayments," Croucher said.

Q: Proguard does not remove Log.d in internal classes? I use
-assumenosideeffects class android.util.Log {
    public static boolean isLoggable(java.lang.String, int);
    public static int v(...);
    public static int i(...);
    public static int w(...);
    public static int d(...);
    public static int e(...);
    public static java.lang.String getStackTraceString(java.lang.Throwable);
}

However when I decompile, I see the one and only custom string I used in a Log.d line in decompiled jar file. How can that be possible? Doesn't Proguard remove Log.d lines completely?

A: This is relevant if proguard optimization is enabled i.e. your proguard.config is this
proguard.config=${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android-optimize.txt:proguard-project.txt

A: Just for clarification, it's my understanding optimisation 'has' to been enabled for the log calls to be stripped.
You could try using a Log wrapper class (like this one) to wrap android.util.Log. I used this approach due to a note from Eric (a.k.a Mr Proguard) in this answer about how Proguard inspects the code. So this ends up with a simpler call to Log.d(tag, string) rather than  Log.d(tag, string + value+ String)
Or use DexGuard IIRC is has some explicit function for log removal. --
[update: sorry my bad it's not a explicit function DexGuard uses the same config as you noted. I guess I was thinking the fact the decompiled code is more mangled with DexGuard.]

CES 2023: Planning with Purpose
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES), the world's most influential tech event, is approaching quickly. A showcase for product announcements and a proving ground for innovation, it is the place to look for tech trends. But after a remote 2021 and a sparsely attended 2022, what's in store for us in 2023? Can one of the most highly anticipated industry events in the Americas ever live up to our expectations?
This year, producing entity Consumer Technology Association (CTA) has partnered with the World Academy of Art and Science (WAAS) to showcase the overarching theme, Human Security for All. The new theme will spotlight how technology can help people tackle the world's most pressing problems, including personal safety, human rights and access to food, education and healthcare.
Over the years, Sparks CES veterans and industry experts have helped brands of all sizes stage successful CES activations. With a new theme and over 3,000 listed exhibitors, CES 2023 is shaping up to be the largest in-person "post pandemic" event to date. Here, we share some of our expectations and questions as we approach the 2023 event.
Brands with Purpose
Our society has transformed over the past three years. Our purchasing power and priorities are different and brands are evolving accordingly. At Sparks, we look forward to seeing if brands will choose to stick to their original messaging or if they will modify their stories to lean on the CES theme. After all, CES is a huge industry event where the world's biggest brands do business and meet new partners.
The challenge for brands will be to show up in a way that feels relevant and timely, while still reflecting their core brand promise. And for brands who choose to align their message with a more altruistic, humanity-focused theme, it will be interesting to see whether this translates to business success.
Design with Intention
CTA's attendance goal for 2023 is 100,000, well over last year's turnout of 45,000, but well below 2020 attendance numbers of 171,000. CTA has been publicizing a larger footprint both indoors and out, hopefully resulting in a better traffic flow.
We anticipate improved design architecture and enhanced attendee journeys. We'll be looking at how exhibits are built—how they integrate technology and architecture to create experiences. And, how people navigate the architecture and move through the environment they're in. We're interested in how designers may use new materials and think about space in new ways.
"We're still designing exhibits that are sticky, but in ways that allow attendees to leave if they feel uncomfortable in a tight space," explains Mike Ellery, Sparks Chief Creative Officer.
Activations with intention and a sharper focus may be more likely as well. "Often, brands want to cater to all budgets and needs, displaying their complete product lineup. The net result is people walking away from large exhibits not knowing what to think," Ellery continues. "This year, we hope that exhibitors will focus on their latest innovations, embracing one creative direction and sticking to it, instead of casting the net so wide."
A Broader Mix of Product Groups
Taking a quick look at CES 2022's most memorable activations, Hyundai had a strong presence, showcasing multiple areas. Other notable experiences included Canon, Sleep Number and the U.S. Postal Service.
We anticipate new experiences in 2023 as the mix of product groups broadens to include hundreds of CES newcomers. The offerings that fit into the category of consumer electronics has grown over the last three years. The healthcare industry will have a big presence with over 80 healthcare companies on the show floor. Conference programming and keynotes will showcase innovators who are transforming healthcare through technology that empowers patients to take control of their care and wellbeing.
The automotive industry is also showing up in a much bigger way with nearly 300 exhibitors! With advances in Electric Vehicle (EV) technology, connected vehicles and autonomous mobility, the future of human mobility will take center stage.
A New Focus
How brands frame their approach to the theme of Human Security for All will be of particular interest. The partnership with WAAS is an important one—we're keeping a close eye on how it will affect both individual exhibitors as well as the overall tone of the event.
This year's sessions may take on a whole new vibe from prior years. Keynote speakers like John Deere's Chairman and CEO, John May, will show the tech community how their technologies can help solve some of humankind's most pressing challenges. The CES program extends well beyond the show floor with over 200 conference sessions featuring 750+ speakers! Topics are bundled into 34 diverse tracks varying from health and wellness, business and finance, and automotive to Web3/metaverse, technology in society, 5G and the Internet of Things.
The largest consumer technology event on Earth may have a history that is decades-old, but the coming year will be anything but business-as-usual. With a new focus on human security and an expanded industry mix, we look forward to seeing which exhibitors rise to the top in 2023 and who will deliver the most compelling innovations and experiences.

Learning students requires practice. People learn working. No one becomes Christ by thinking only of him. In August 2008, Nebraska's Philip Dillard was quoted in the Omaha World Herald about what Bo Pelini and other defense coaches in Nebraska were expecting. "They're not trying to fix things since last year, but just training their defense.
Is learning how to live a Christian life differently? Jesus told his disciples what to do, and they supposedly should have done it. Of course, at first, they did not do the perfect thing, just like us. That's why we train. The key to spiritual growth is more than learning biblical facts. We become Christ as practicing the divine way of life.
Rosie Ruiz was the first woman to cross the finish line on the Boston Marathon in 1981. She achieved the third fastest time ever recorded for a female runner. But ironically, she was barely sweating. The race officials immediately began to question her victory and she was disqualified. When the truth came out, it seems that soon after the race began, Rosie deliberately drove off the track, took the subway to a point near the goal, jumped back into the race and positioned itself as a winner. In an interview between Rosie and the sports reporter (before she found out), Rosie asked: "How were you preparing for the race, what kind of interview did you lead?" Rosie replied: "What's the interval?" Can you imagine a follower of Christ who asks, "What is spiritual discipline?"
The American marathon runner, Frank Shorter, says it's best. Literally a few minutes after Frank finished at the Montreal Olympics in 1976, the journalist asked him, "I know you have to be disappointed with the silver." Frank looked at the journalist calmly and said: "Well, of course, I wanted to win a gold medal. . But the question that I have to ask now is: "Will I commit myself to running 10 miles a day, every day, in the next 4 years?"
Who do you discipline? Who do you work with to be Christ? What spiritual disciples do you practice? Jesus said: "A wise man hears my words and carries them into action."


The Sonoran desert's native quails, roadrunners and jackrabbits watch quietly as you play on the rolling terrain of the McDowell Mountain Golf Club. After the sun sets brilliantly to the west, deer and wild coyote come out to play on Sanctuary's 6,650-yard, par-71 layout that features 71 acres of turf and 65 sand bunkers. Typical of the Sanctuary experience, the par-3 No. 8 is both beautiful and enticing, incorporating one large water feature complete with two multi-tiered waterfalls. Bordered by naturally protected areas, holes 2, 3, 4 and 5 demand precision and smart golf management. With five sets of tees on each hole, the Sanctuary provides an enjoyable golf experience for players of every skill level.

US Navy: for first time in history four women of color command war ships
Four US Navy officers have made history this week – and breaking new ground in a traditionally white and male-dominated field.
For the first time in US Navy history, four women of color are now commanding war ships at the same time, NBC News has reported.
The four officers, Kimberly Jones, LaDonna Simpson, Kristel O'Cañas, and Kathryn Wijnaldum, recently said that there have been dramatic changes for women serving in the Navy over the years.
The Navy "looks different in the fact that as an ensign, I looked around and at that time, there were not many senior female officers that I could necessarily go to for gender-specific questions," Jones, who joined the Navy more than two decades ago, remarked in an interview clip obtained by People magazine.
"I may not have felt comfortable asking my male boss," Jones also said. "Now, to their credit, they were phenomenal leaders. However, when it came time [for] some of those more intimate conversations on how to plan your career with a family, as a mom, that did not exist."
She added: "And I was overseas, so the population was slightly smaller. And now walking this waterfront, there are leaders, there are role models, at every rank…That is something that I hope ensigns, young sailors, gravitate towards and take advantage of."
These four women are all based at Norfolk Naval Station, in Virginia. They are all "Nuclear Surface Warfare Officers" – a qualification which is "extremely competitive" to obtain, according to the US Navy.
All four women "have spent a considerable amount of their time serving aboard nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and in nuclear-related shore duty billets," the Navy noted.
Simpson said that while she was never discouraged from going after her career goals, she did not have many female role models.
"The Navy has been very supportive of my journey and my professional training. There weren't any voices in the Navy that said that I could not achieve this goal," Simpson said. "The only limitation was the fact that women as a whole hadn't been on board combatant vessels until, I believe, it was 1994."
