"We can picture the leaders of a great kingdom gathered to decide a most important issue for the future of their kingdom; an issue that involves complex and serious interaction with other kingdoms and could become a matter of life and death. We then see a young boy enter the room proclaiming that he knows exactly how to solve their dilemma. It would be understandable if these leaders would take him lightly. They might sneer and poke fun and ask what this young pup thinks he is doing speaking of a matter of such great importance. Why, what arrogance! But what if, instead of speaking his own words, the young boy took out a scroll with the royal seal on it? And what if he then proceeded to open the scroll and say to these esteemed leaders, 'Here is a letter from the king and here is what he commands you to do." Would not the reaction of the leaders be completely different even if the answer offered in both cases is exactly the same?
In this parable we see that when Christians claim Jesus is the only way we cannot back down just because someone labels us closed-minded or arrogant. The question we must ask is, are we bringing the message of our King? Are the critics the ones who misunderstand the origin of the message? It is that origin that I want to talk about in the next few posts.
If we can show that Jesus is God, and that Jesus himself claimed to be the only means by which we know God, then Christian are not arrogant when they make the same claim. We are in fact acting out of humble obedience to our King. The claim carries his authority.
I submit that a part of our weakness in defending this position, and the reason many Christians fail to see its importance, lies in an even deeper level of Christian truth. People, claiming to be Christians, have forgotten that Christians claim that Jesus is in fact God. I am not sure what they think they are celebrating each Christmas, but I have met lay and clergy alike who deny that Jesus is God. They may hold to some vague new age idea that Jesus is God just like we all are god if we reach our full potential, but he is certainly not the incarnation of the one true God and not the fullness of God dwelling in bodily form. I remember a conversation in front of a church with a seminary trained pastor who said that Jesus never claimed to be God. It is this issue that we look at more closely in our next time together in a few weeks.
The issue of the deity of Jesus is central because it establishes a logical and bonding link that many seem to miss. If Jesus is God, as Christians have always claimed, then he is not only the way, he is the destination. He is the One we are trying to get to. There may be many ways to the top of a mountain but you cannot get to the top without going to the top. Jesus is the only way because he is the goal of our journey; the beginning and the end of our quest. Christians may hold and proclaim such a view with an arrogant attitude, and for that we must repent. But the position itself is not arrogant if it is true and, as we shall see, if it is in fact Jesus' own position and claim about himself.

Little Women: 150th-Anniversary Annotated Edition (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition) (Paperback)
By Louisa May Alcott, Patti Smith (Foreword by), Anne Boyd Rioux (Editor), Anne Boyd Rioux (Introduction by), Anne Boyd Rioux (Notes by)
A beautiful new Deluxe Edition of Alcott's beloved novel, with a foreword by National Book Award-winning author and musician Patti Smith. Nominated as one of America's most-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.
Little Women is recognized as one of the best-loved classic children's stories, transcending the boundaries of time and age, making it as popular with adults as it is with young readers. The beloved story of the March girls is a classic American feminist novel, reflecting the tension between cultural obligation and artistic and personal freedom. But which of the four March sisters to love best? For every reader must have their favorite. Independent, tomboyish Jo; delicate, loving Beth; pretty, kind Meg; or precocious and artistic Amy, the baby of the family? The charming story of these four "little women" and their wise and patient mother Marmee enduring hardships and enjoying adventures in Civil War New England was an instant success when first published in 1868 and has been adored for generations.
Louisa May Alcott was born in Germantown, Pennsylvania, in 1832, the second of four daughters of Abigail May Alcott and Bronson Alcott, the prominent Transcendentalist thinker and social reformer. Raised in Concord, Massachusetts, and educated by her father, Alcott early on came under the influence of the great men of his circle: Emerson, Hawthorne, the preacher Theodore Parker, and Thoreau. From her youth, Louisa worked at various tasks to help support her family: sewing, teaching, domestic service, and writing. In 1862, she volunteered to serve as an army nurse in a Union hospital during the Civil War— an experience that provided her material for her first successful book, Hospital Sketches (1863). Between 1863 and 1869, she published several anonymous and pseudonymous Gothic romances and lurid thrillers. But fame came with the publication of her Little Women (1868– 69), a novel based on the childhood adventures of the four Alcott sisters, which received immense popular acclaim and brought her financial security as well as the conviction to continue her career as a writer. In the wake of Little Women's popularity, she brought out An Old- Fashioned Girl (1870), Little Men(1871), Eight Cousins (1875), Rose in Bloom (1876), Jo's Boys (1886), and other books for children, as well as two adult novels, Moods (1864) and Work (1873). An active participant in the women's suffrage and temperance movements during the last decade of her life, Alcott died in Boston in 1888, on the day her father was buried.
Patti Smith is a writer, performer, and visual artist. She gained recognition in the 1970s for her revolutionary merging of poetry and rock. She has released twelve albums, including Horses, which has been hailed as one of the top one hundred albums of all time by Rolling Stone. Smith had her first exhibit of drawings at the Gotham Book Mart in 1973 and has been represented by the Robert Miller Gallery since 1978. Her books include M Train, Just Kids, winner of the National Book Award in 2010, Wītt, Babel, Woolgathering, The Coral Sea, and Auguries of Innocence. In 2005, the French Ministry of Culture awarded Smith the title of Commandeur des Arts et des Lettres, the highest honor given to an artist by the French Republic. She was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. Smith married the musician Fred Sonic Smith in Detroit in 1980. They had a son, Jackson, and a daughter, Jesse. Smith resides in New York City.
Ane Boyd Rioux is Professor of English at the University of New Orleans and the author/editor of several books, including Meg, Jo, Beth, Amy: The Story of Little Women and Why It Still Matters (Norton, 2018). The recipient of two National Endowment for the Humanities fellowships, one for public scholarship, she writes reviews and essays for general and academic audiences, specializing in women writers.
"Perhaps no other book provided a greater guide, as I set out on my youthful path, than Louisa May Alcott's most beloved novel, Little Women."
—From the Foreword by Patti Smith
"I have always gravitated towards the cozy book, and nothing is cozier than Little Women. It was one of the books that fostered my love of America, very early on, and showed me what makes a great character, particularly in headstrong Jo."

You know those people who have an infectious energy, who always inspire you on Instagram? For me, that person is Ashley Petrone from Arrows and Bow! She is a fun loving, dancing queen and mom of three… and an incredibly talented renovator. She and her husband have renovated a couple of Airstreams and just moved into a new house. She has taken what she learned from RV-living and incorporated it into minimal living tips in her home. And this home tour is especially fun because we have shots of both of Ashley's spaces — including their adorable Airbnb casita!
It is my fervent wish that I blink and it's suddenly summer… baring global warming, it's safe to say summer is a few months away from Seattle. That being said, spring is the perfect time to think about your outdoor decor situation. A quick, easy, and affordable way to update your patio is with a cute side table. Luckily, there are tons of affordable outdoor side tables on the market right now!
I've been lucky enough to call Anne Sage a close pal for a long time. She's one of my truest friends that I've met in this crazy world of blogging and Instagram and we go way back. I've had the pleasure of seeing her different apartments and homes evolve over the years — but her place now is simply STUNNING! I am so excited to share today's Small Space Squad home tour. Get ready to treat your eyes to the beautifully minimalist, yet cozy home of Anne Sage, her lovely husband, and their four pets.
One thing that I am asked about a ton is where I got the artwork in our home. We definitely have an eclectic mix, ranging from prints to vintage oil paintings to wall hangings to old posters. Personally, I prefer to have a mix of art rather than pieces from a single source because it makes our home feel more curated and special to us. It's entirely up to you though! I thought it would help if I shared my favorite, go-to online sources to buy artwork, plus some faves.
You guys… I am on the warpath! The warpath against plastics, that is. Not only do we try to maintain a low-waste household, we are also working on eliminating plastic usage entirely. With the news that New York is going to ban plastic bags, I felt like it was time to share another post about changes I've made to be more eco-conscious in our own home. I hope these tips to go plastic-free your daily life help! I swear, they are easy to do.
For a long time I was extremely anti-faux plants. My bff tried to convince me to put one in a darkish corner when I was styling her home and I pushed back… hard. I was totally unconvinced that there were any actually good faux indoor plants. But here's the thing: the retail gods have heard me and challenged me because, you guys… there are actually some GOOD faux indoor plant options now. It's really weird and I almost didn't hit publish on this post because there are so many benefits to real indoor plants… but that just isn't for everyone and every space.
I'm super-stoked for today's Small Space Squad home tour, you guys. I've not-so-secretly obsessed over this beautifully renovated home of Sarah Jacobson, aka The Grand Apartment, for a loooong time. The thing is that I am really fascinated by her home because it was a total gut job… and all in New York City. The idea of renovating anything in such a large city gives me a bit of agita, but when you see the results… holy cow. Sarah's home is truly gorgeous and I cannot wait to show you more of it!

Historic Franklin Williamson County
Williamson County is still farm country and gentrification hasn't changed that. It is now one of the country's wealthiest counties, attracting suburbanites who appreciate local history and character within easy access. Long before Cool Springs and Brentwood developed from pastures to mega suburbs, a small following of homebuyers settled into Historic Franklin, a unique, yet unpretentious, antebellum township. Franklin was the site of several key battles during the Civil War, with bullet holes still visible in some walls. Rich in history and tradition, its 15-block historic downtown district has been restored and now thrives with trade and tourism. It is listed on many travel guides and features clothing stores, antique shops, art galleries and more. One visitor hotspot is the mansion at Carnton, an 1826 plantation complete with an onsite Civil War cemetery. Franklin is the centerpiece and county seat of Williamson County. From the old-time charm of its historic downtown, it?s only a couple miles to more modern, expensive homes of NFL stars and famous musicians, and to the Cool Springs area, location of numerous upscale restaurants and the Cool Springs Galleria Mall. Only a half-hour commute to downtown Nashville, Williamson County has five neighborhood parks complete with nature and fitness trails, tennis courts and playgrounds. Available housing includes historic homes near the Franklin town square, rural mini-farms, and cluster homes in new developments.

Dylan Ramage hit and pitched the Superior High School baseball team past the Duluth East Greyhounds Thursday evening at Morrie Arnovich Field.
Ramage not only picked up his fourth pitching victory of the season, but he drove in three runs as the Spartans (13-6) defeated the Greyhounds 4-1 in a game that barely lasted 90 minutes.
"Good pitching and good defense, it was a really clean game," SHS coach Don Dembroski said. "It was a nice game as we get ready for the playoffs. We had three pretty good practices this week and we played like it tonight."
Ramage allowed three hits with six strikeouts and two walks before being lifted in the sixth inning for Grant Rindal, who pitched two scoreless innings.
"I felt great and had a lot of confidence out there," Ramage said. "They're a tough team that has some big guys that can hit the ball. But I threw a lot of strikes and got the curve ball working."
Ramage went to 3-0 on East's first batter of the game, but battled back to strike out the side.
"Dylan pitched well," Dembroski said. "He got behind the first guy 3-0 then was on top of his game the rest of the way. We purposely took him out so he would have a full tank against River Falls next week in the tournament opener."
After hosting Duluth Central today and playing two game at Eau Claire North on Saturday, Ramage is scheduled to pitch when the Spartans host River Falls in a WIAA regional game next Tuesday.
"I was a bit nervous with the first batter," Ramage said. "But once I battled back, my confidence kept building."
Thursday's win also completed a season sweep of East. Superior also beat the Greyhounds 11-6 earlier in the season at Duluth Central.
"It's been quite a while (since we've beaten them twice)," Dembroski said. "East has a real strong program and always seem to do well in their section and make to state. We've had our struggles against them, so I'm really happy with the way our guys played against them both time this year."
Both teams managed just four hits.
Taylor Olson and Ramage doubled and Kellen McCoshen and Grant Rindal singled for Superior, while Brody Olson doubled and Matt Johnson, Nick Carlson and Aaron Grossman singled for East.
"We may not have had a lot of hits, but they were key," Dembroski said. "We also had good defense, and that's going to keep you in any game."
Superior scored all the runs it needed in the bottom of the first inning as Olson led off with a double, Marty Manion walked and both scored on Ramage's double.
East's lone run came in the second inning. Johnson singled, Mickie Keuning walked and after the two moved up a base on Zach Farmer's sac bunt, Carlson hit a RBI single to left. Keuning also tried scoring on the play, but was thrown out at the plate on a perfect throw by Manion.
Superior made it 4-1 in the third inning when Ramage walked with the bases loaded and McCoshen, who singled, scored on Rob Dembroski's fielder's choice.
Ramage retired the side in order in the first, third and fourth innings. Rindal was also successful, striking out four of the seven batters he face.
Craig Best and Asher Seering pitched for East. The two combined to strike out six and walk four and hit a batter.
The Spartans host Duluth Central at 4:30 p.m. today then wrap up the regular season with a doubleheader against Eau Claire North at 10 a.m. Saturday at Carson Park in Eau Claire.
SPARTAN SPIN: The SHS JV lost to Duluth East 9-2. Spencer Severson started for the Spartans and pitched two innings, allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits. Paul Edwards pitched two shutout innings of relief striking out four. Danny Kriedler pitched one inning of relief allowing four unearned runs on one hit while walking two. Dane Sislo pitched the final two innings allowing one unearned run and no hits while striking out two. The Spartans managed only four hits with Severson getting a double and Sislo, Clayton Yeazle and Trent Olson each getting singles.

Description: Smart phone / tablet case design. All cases will be on sale in major retailers (TBA) from 2013.
I'm Gavin, a freelance illustrator (2D/CGI) & graphic designer. I'm also one of 40 certified ACP's (Adobe Community Professionals) in the UK and i'm a guest tutor for digitaltutors.com. Clients I regularly freelance for include Adobe, The NBA, MIcrosoft and Sony Music. Since 2001 I have been working with global brands in editorials, advertising, conceptual, branding and character development.
"I was in charge of finding creative talents on Behance for our "New Creative" campaign at Adobe. The idea was to elect the most creative talents in Europe. Gavin's work quickly made it to the top of the list and he's one of the first official Adobe New Creatives. He's also a great speaker, and we invited him to share his passion with other designers at our New Creative event in London."
"I have found Gavin to be incredibly flexible, creative and original with our briefs. Co-ordinating conversations between a host of various brands and artists on our roster, it is important to visually create something attention-grabbing which we can essentially use to tailor the various elements of the potential campaign for each individual project, giving us the ability to put out a single coordinated message. He has definitely helped to cement a few of our projects by visually constructing our vision for brand partnerships".
"I had the pleasure of producing Gavin's first tutorial for Digital-Tutors and had an excellent experience. Gavin is a fantastic artist who is very easy to work with and is willing to do whatever it takes to get the job done."
"As part of our sponsorship of the Gadget Show, we developed a social interactive idea that Gavin was at the heart of. He was quick, efficient with excellent interpersonal skills, interacting brilliantly with the crowds and was a pleasure to work with. We saw all our key social metrics increase due to the excellent quality of the creative output and high standards Gavin employed across the designs and I'm pleased to say that we were shortlisted at the DADI Awards 2014 for best interactive campaign".
"Gavin created some fitness illustrations for the June 2014 issue off Top Santé, they were great and full of energy, they had a great marriage of realistic photo like quality along with illustrated effects."
Gavin has done a lot of work for us at RCA creating pitches and presentations. He is a fantastic designer who executes tasteful, slick creations which are impactful and always have the desired effects. He works closely with you listening to your needs and can always deliver to your time frames, no matter how little time you give him! He is a fantastic and professional designer. Thanks for all your help, and look forward to working with you in the future.

Where to Get the Best View of Paris
By Julie | June 26, 2019 | Comments 0 Comment
Ah, Paris… The city of lights, love, and the iconic Eiffel Tower. Seven million people visit the Eiffel Tower each year to enjoy what they believe is the best view of Paris. But is it really? Or could they get a better view somewhere else?
The Iconic Tower
The Eiffel Tower is almost synonymous with Paris. Tell someone that you went to Paris and their first question will not be about the Louvre, or about Versailles, or the Arc de Triomphe. It will undoubtedly be, "Did you go to the top of the Eiffel Tower?"
This iconic landmark was constructed in 1889 and was the tallest building in the world for over forty years. (It lost the title to New York's Chrysler Building in 1930.)
Controversy surrounded the structure almost from the beginning. Parisians banded together and sent a petition to the Minister of Works calling for and end to the Tower's construction. The petition referred to the Eiffel Tower as called useless, monstrous, ridiculous, and barbaric (to name just a few undesirable adjectives). Such drama!
Gustave Eiffel, who apparently also had a flair for the dramatic, responded by comparing his tower to the Pyramids of Egypt. In part, he said, "My tower will be the tallest edifice ever erected by man. Will it not also be grandiose in its way? And why would something admirable in Egypt become hideous and ridiculous in Paris?"
Fortunately for Monsieur Eiffel (and us), the petition had no effect on the tower construction, which had already begun. By completion of the Tower, some of those who had fought against it came around to appreciating it. Others, like author Guy de Maupassant, remained opposed to the structure. Legend has it that de Maupassant ate lunch in the Eiffel Tower every day because it was the only place in Paris where the Tower was not visible.
I found these factoids very interesting. You never know when you might need this info for a trivia game!
The bolts that hold the four bases of the tower to the ground measured 4 inches in diameter and were 25 feet long.
Horse drawn carriages delivered finished parts of the structure from the factory to the building site.
The tower is comprised of 18,038 pieces that are joined together with 2.5 million rivets.
The planning office produced 1,700 general drawings and 3,629 detailed drawings of the structure's 18,000+ parts.
During the construction, French tabloids printed articles with headlines such as "Eiffel Suicide!" and "Gustave Eiffel Has Gone Mad: He Has Been Confined in an Asylum!"
If you have a fear of elevators, you will need to climb 1,710 steps to reach the top of the Tower.
The guest book for the Tower includes a note signed by Thomas Edison.
The permit to build the Tower stated that it would only stand for 20 years. It was supposed to be torn down in 1909. Thankfully, the plan changed!
A scientist discovered the phenomenon of cosmic rays at the Eiffel Tower in 1910.
In 1914 (World War I), the Tower contained a radio transmitter used to jam German radio signals
When German forces occupied Paris in the 1940s (World War II), the elevator cables were cut and the Tower was closed to the public. That did not, however, keep German forces from flying a swastika-emblazoned flag from the top of the Tower.
In August 1944, Hitler ordered the German governor of Paris to demolish the Tower, as well as the rest of the city. (He disobeyed the order, thank goodness!)
The elevators that run between the second and third levels were replaced in 1982 after running for 97 years!
The iron parts of the tower weigh 7300 tons (that's 14.6 million pounds)!
To recognize their contributions and achievements, Gustave Eiffel had the names of 72 French scientists, engineers, and mathematicians engraved on the Tower.
Painting the Tower to prevent rust takes place every seven years. It takes 60 tons of paint to cover it.
Inside the Eiffel Tower
Visitors to the Eiffel Tower can go to three different levels. The first level is primarily retail, with multiple souvenir shops and restaurants.
The second level offers more souvenir shops and another restaurant. But rather than spend time in those establishments, I was drawn to the view of the sprawling French capital and the Seine River. Boats, cars, people were all going about their business, heading from place A to place B… and I was watching them from my bird's eye view of the city.
A beautiful view of the Palais de Chaillot, Seine River, and the Place du Trocadero from the second level of the Eiffel Tower.
After I had taken everything in, I headed up to the top floor, also called the summit. There the view was pretty much the same, just smaller due to the added height. Below is the same view as the one above, but taken from the summit.
The third level of the Eiffel Tower contains two areas. The lower area, where the elevator drops you off, is fully enclosed and protected from the elements. But you can also climb a flight of stairs to the area above, which is open.
The view from the highest accessible point on the Eiffel Tower.
The Other Tower
Montparnasse Tower, in stark contrast to the graceful lines of Tour Eiffel, is a more modern structure. From a distance it looks like someone modeled the building after a darkly painted rectangular building block. In the photo above, taken from the open air summit of the Eiffel Tower, the large dark rectangle centered in the photo is Montparnasse.
As you can see, the Montparnasse Tower sticks out like a proverbial sore thumb. Designed and built in the late 1960s/early 1970s, Montparnasse was such a controversial building that within two years the city had new zoning regulations. From that point forward, no new construction in the city center could exceed seven storeys in height.
So why bother going to this out-of-place modern office building? For the same reason Guy de Maupassant supposedly ate lunch in the building he detested. If you're looking out at the city from the building you consider an eyesore, you don't have to look at it.
The best part of the view from Montparnasse is that it lines up perfectly with the Eiffel Tower. Yes, it's a great experience to go to the top of the Eiffel Tower and look out at the city. But isn't it just as exciting to see the cityscape with the Eiffel Tower in it? I thought it was, particularly since I was there as the sun began to set.
Because I was closer to the ground than at Tour Eiffel, I was able to pick out the landmarks more easily. I spotted Luxembourg Gardens and Notre Dame Cathedral, to name just a few.
And when I saw several blocks of what appeared to be very small buildings, I realized that it was the Montparnasse Cemetery.
Sorry for the crazy camera tilt. I was trying to make sure I got all of it in the frame.
Comparing Pommes to Pommes
So, how do these two buildings compare to each other? Here's what you need to know.
Height: Eiffel is 1063 feet; Montparnasse is 689 feet.
Admission Cost: Eiffel is 25.5 Euro; Montparnasse is 18 Euro. (That's a difference of about $8.50 in US currency.)
Convenience: You can only use Eiffel Tower tickets on the specified date at the pre-selected entry time. Montparnasse Tower tickets can be used on any day/time and are good for one year. (Please note, however, that for special events and holidays, you will need to purchase a special admission ticket.) Additionally, if you are traveling by subway, the Montparnasse Tower has a station basically right underneath it. In contrast, to visit the Eiffel Tower you will have to walk a ways from the closest station to reach it.
Weather: Both towers have enclosed and open air decks for viewing the city. Inclement weather may affect your view, but you will at least be able to stay dry/warm.
Security: Needless to say, the Eiffel Tower is a very popular spot with tourists. As a result, it is also very popular with scam artists and pickpockets. Montparnasse, on the other hand, is an office building and less likely to be crowded with people trying to relieve you of your wallet.
Therefore, in my opinion, the best view of Paris is at Montparnasse. Now, I'm not saying that you should forego the Eiffel Tower. After all, it pretty much represents the entire city. But if you would like a majestic view of that iconic tower, by all means make the trip to Montparnasse as well. You won't regret it.
Everyone thinks the Eiffel Tower has the best view of Paris.
Sacre bleu! Could they be wrong?
7 million people visit the Eiffel Tower each year hoping to get the best view of Paris. But they should really go to a different building altogether. Read more to find out where.

Getting Down & Dirty with a Wild Guy


The garden is in full swing and a reminder to neighbors that we open to all and always need help! With the help of PHS's City Harvest program and the Philadelphia Chapter of the Penn State Extension Master Gardener's program, we run the garden as a demonstration garden and grow a wide variety of edible plants. Produce is donated to local partner and shared with volunteers and visitor! Right now we've got kale, collards, garlic and other greens finishing up and tomatoes and peppers just taking off. We're preparing for another try at hay bale gardening and getting ready to tie up the hops.
Sundays from 4-6 are our open hours and we need volunteers to greet visitors and show them around during these times, bring a snack to share, play some music or otherwise help make these open hours a fun time. Volunteers can also take a week out of their summer and agree to spot water the garden as needed. We have an irrigation system for most of the beds, but potted plants need to be watered by hand if it doesn't rain.
Help promote litter prevention! Through a generous grant from Keep Philadelphia Beautiful we'll be working with some local after school programs and Fleisher Art Memorial's ColorWheels program to create sidewalk art encouraging passers by to use the Big Belly trash and recycling receptacles near Pat's and Geno's. Lil' Pop Shop will be on hand with some free popsicles during the event and the artwork will stay on display into the summer. If you're not already part of a nearby after school program and you'd like to bring your child to participate, email us at beautification@passyunk.org.
East Passyunk Business Improvement District is promoting Wednesday evenings as the night for "Passeggiata" – an Italian evening summer stroll on East Passyunk Avenue with discounts and special offers. It's perfect opportunity to visit all the outdoor reproductions of works from the Philadelphia Museum of Art that are up in our neighborhood! Download a map of the Inside Out sites on our website and take a stroll around the neighborhood! On Wednesday June 3, PSCA and East Passyunk Crossing Civic will be out at the Fountain with maps to give out as well – so stop by and say hello!
PSCA continues its partnership with the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD) to ensure that stormwater management installations in our neighborhood – the planters and rain garden at Columbus Square Park, the planter outside the South Philadelphia Older Adult Center, the tree trench on 12th Street between Dickinson and Tasker, and the tree trench on 10th street between Wilder and Reed – are as beautiful as they are effective in keeping our water clean.
We have a great team working on this but can always use more help! Volunteers to help us monitor these sites and receive training about how the sites function and how the neighborhood can report problems and give feedback to PWD. Email beautification@passyunk.org for more information about joining our team. You can also read more about PWD's innovative Green Cities, Clean Waters initiative at their website.

Norwegian Blames Swedish Aviation Tax for End of Some US - Stockholm Routes
Brendan Dorsey
Brendan Dorsey is an Associate News Editor at TPG who covers nearly everything for TPG including aviation, credit cards, points, miles, ride-hailing services and more. He previously worked for TIME.
Norwegian has announced it will be cutting two routes between Sweden and the US, and it's blaming the move on Sweden's new aviation taxes.
Norwegian will end nonstop service between Stockholm (ARN) and Oakland (OAK) and Stockholm and Las Vegas (LAS). The budget carrier flies a Boeing 787 Dreamliner between the two cities, with three weekly flights to Oakland. Norwegian had already suspended its Stockholm-Vegas service due to weather related issues in 2016, but this appears to be the nail in the coffin for the route. We've reached out to Norwegian for details but have to yet receive a response.
In April, Sweden introduced a new tax on flights that can range from $7 to $49 per passenger, per flight. The tax is environmentally motivated and is supposed to nudge the country toward its sustainable development goals.
When in went into effect Norwegian cancelled one European route and threatened to cancel others. Now they are making good on that threat.
"The long-haul routes are more strained because there is a higher flight tax on them," Norwegian Communications Manager Charlotte Holmbergh Jacobsson told Dagens Industri.
The shutdown of the routes isn't due to the tax, Sweden's Minister for Financial Markets Per Bolund claims. Bolund has a point, Norwegian is plagued by financial issues and operates many unprofitable routes. It reported a net loss of $38 million in 2017.
"The aviation industry is already subsidized through lower VAT and exemptions from fuel taxes," Bolund said in a statement to Sveriges Radio. "In spite of this, Norwegian appears to have such poor profitability on certain routes that it does not manage the recent fuel-price increase. They should probably rather review how they do business than blame a relatively low aviation tax."
"We would like to grow our business in Sweden and use Arlanda as a hub, but there is no political will for us to grow here," Norwegian Spokeswoman Charlotte Holmbergh Jacobsson told Business Insider Nordic. "The aviation tax is a clear sign from the politicians that they want air traffic to decrease."

Parking Infinity: The First Parking Game on Blockchain. What We Know So Far
by Nazar Kuzmyn
January 23, 2022 │ 6:00 AM GMT
The parking genre is not the most popular in the traditional gaming industry, let alone in crypto gaming. The last notable games in the genre happened to take place during the mobile game boom in the early 2010s. Parking Mania, for example, was quite an entertaining time killer.
Now, the parking genre is set to return, this time in the crypto world. Parking Infinity is a blockchain game featuring NFTs and the play-to-earn model. So far, only the tokenomics have been established, with Binance Smart Chain acting as the main blockchain. For those who are interested, here's where you can view the whitepaper.
As for the gameplay, nothing has been shown yet, though the developers mentioned several bullet points about it in the same document. They claim that:
Players can park cars in parking spaces in different areas and earn unequal income based on the real-time APR of different parking spaces
The statement is not completely clear though. Moreover, it's still unknown whether this is going to be an action game, a simulator, or some kind of strategy game with a parking thematic.
Personally, I would like to commend the unique idea, and the developer's bravery to revive the slumbering genre, and using blockchain technology at that. On the other hand, they haven't exactly made it clear what the game will be like, thus so far, the project seems quite raw. How it will pan out in the end remains to be seen.

This ministry season, in women's ministry, we have had a theme that focuses on the labels we wear (whether we label ourselves or allow others to label us). This is a topic near to my heart. I've struggled under the weight of man-made labels for a long time. I'm loving the conversations, study and healing that is flowing from it.
I've fought, for many years, to only allow labels to stick that are given to me by my Heavenly Father. That's what this series has encouraged and I'm loving the practice! As Lynne, our women's ministry director, was preparing for this series, she prayed over some labels she had asked women to share with her – labels that they felt they wore.
To be fair, I'm sure some of the labels said, "Loved", "Chosen", and "Blessed" and other such positive and affirming things. But, the truth is, none of these labels matter unless they were the ones given to us by the Father of lights.
So, as Lynne has been giving us new labels to study – labels given by the King of Kings – I'd like to share my thoughts here. So, when you see the "REMADE" series, please know, the promptings are from the heart of a women I love dearly who listens intently for the heart of God.

Skills Competition success for beauty student from Llanishen
A 26-year-old from Llanishen has won gold in the Beauty Therapy – Body, final of a national skills competition.
Skills Competition Wales is a Welsh Government-backed series of events designed to celebrate vocational skills and create a highly skilled Welsh workforce for the future.
With Olympic athletes training hard for the imminent games in Rio, Victoria Paquet is just one of 78 Welsh youngsters who have been perfecting their skills in a bid to win a medal. Across a range of vocations from graphic design to patisserie, these budding skilled champions, like Olympians, have been training hard this year.
Victoria, from Cardiff and Vale College, competed against six other students from across Wales. Finalists completed a series of body treatment challenges within a two and a half hour time period, including a faradic massage which focuses on massage therapy, back scrub, back massage and facial.
Victoria, who is studying a Level 3 NVQ Diploma in Beauty and Spa Therapy, said she is thrilled to have won.
"The competition felt very professional, I didn't think I would come close to winning as the standard was so high amongst all the competitors. It was stressful but I managed to get all the treatments done in the time limit which really pushed me!
"I've wanted to pursue a career in beauty therapy for years and I'm glad I have the confidence to do it now. My tutors have been really supportive throughout the competition and winning has really made me think about what opportunities I have now."
Skills Competition Wales forms part of the Welsh Government's Growth and Sustainable Jobs Programme, designed to promote the importance of vocational skills with the aim of boosting the overall skill capabilities and prosperity of Wales.
The camapign is supported by the European Social Fund and the Welsh Government, and run by a network of colleges and work based learning providers, a total of 33 local Skills Competitions will be taking place between February and April, in a range of sectors from forensic science and car mechanics to web design and nail art.
Victoria may go forward to represent Cardiff and Vale College in the Beauty Therapy WorldSkills UK heat, with the aim of potentially representing Team Wales at this year's Skills Show in Birmingham in November.
Deputy Minister for Skills and Technology, Julie James AM said:
"Year on year the level of talent at Skills Competition Wales keeps on improving. These events encourage healthy competition and are a great way of recognising the fantastic talent that we have in our country.
"Colleges and work-based learning providers across Wales are already involved in the Skills Competition Wales initiative and have played a huge part in organising the heats and finals, but we're keen to see more Welsh businesses support their talented young employees and encourage them to enter."
The Deputy Minister added: "It takes a lot of hard work to get to the final round but to win gold is a fantastic achievement. It is clear that all the competitors are extremely passionate and determined to be named the best in Wales.
"We wish Victoria and all the other finalists and winners the very best of luck, not only in the next round of the competitions, but also in their future careers."

quickclicks that's more like it.
Glad some of you have been able to use the clues despite the errs. Tammie hope you're using all the corrections.
Thanks fizzbut, that 7 and 6 clue was what I was missing. Now if I can only find that last point!!!!!
If you didn't know already, don't move 2 or 8 . Don't pull down 5 , 9 , or 3 . Also if you don't have 3 kings pulled down by the end of the first turn you're not doing something right. Hope this clarifys things.
If you got 143 then you're not quite following fizzbut. To get below 143 you need to not cover up K with Q , but wait for Q . The other that gets you below 143 is waiting for 7 to put on 8 .
If you didn't know already, don't move 2 or 8 . Don't pull down 5 , 9 , or 3 .
Also if you don't have 3 kings pulled down by the end of the first turn you're not doing something right. Hope this clarifys things.
I shouldn't leave clues when I'm tired. K first K 2nd. No magic tricks here, sorry.
fizzbut...how do you get to4 without moving K ?

Q: How to make an angular material input look similar to a button? Is there any css style that I can use to make an angular material input resemble with a button?
The reason for needing this is the following:
I want to create filters as in airbnb and for example I use different components(not all my filters can be implemented using a button):
   1. datepicker which is embedded in an input
   2. button which opens a mat-menu for price choosing using a slider
   3. mat-select with mat options for choosing one or several categories

And because datepicker can't be opened by clicking a button (only with an input) and the mat-select that I have added for categories can't be replaced by a button, and so on, I thought about the idea of giving the components a similar look and feel, so that they look approximately the same as for example on airbnb.

A: The question is a little unclear as to what you are looking for as stated by @Ayyash you could use a button. If you just mean styled similarly with a border and rounded corners you could use a Form Field with appearance set to outline: <mat-form-field appearance="outline">

More information can be found here.
If you are just looking at adding css to the element to make it look similar to the buttons you are using you can use developer tools to inspect the element and copy the css you want. You may need to add !important after the css to make it override what comes bundled with the material input. e.g color: #000000 !important;

Today in the EU Parliament in Strasbourg there will be a vote on the extension of geographical indication (GI) protection to non-agricultural products.
This means products like Scottish tartan, Harris tweed, London's Saville Row bespoke tailoring, Stoke ceramics, Yorkshire stone will have the same GI protection as agriculture products like Melton Mowbray pies, Cornish pasties, Wensleydale cheese, Lincolnshire sausage, Arbroath smokies.
A geographical indication (GI) is a distinctive sign used to identify a product as originating in the territory of a particular country, region or locality where its quality, reputation or other characteristic is linked to its geographical origin. GI therefore creates value for local communities through products that are deeply rooted in tradition, culture and geography.
Claude Moraes MEP, Labour Member of European Parliament for London, has previously worked hard to ensure GI protection is extended to non-agricultural products and called on the EU Commission to do more to extend protection of local goods such as Savile Row bespoke tailoring, based in London, which in recent years has seen a rise in imitations or misuse.
The Savile Row Bespoke Association (SRB), formed in 2004, represents the majority of the tailoring companies on Savile Row and employs over 2000 people from sales to the cloth manufacture. Geographical Indications are therefore extremely important in helping promote new job opportunities in production, processing and other related services.
This vote is an important step in seeing GI extended to non-agricultura products to protect, preserve and develop a positive future for the Savile Row bespoke tailoring brand and the highly skilled jobs that the industry offers.
This is great news for consumers and for the protection our industries that are producing authentic local goods, and will make it harder for factories to pass off cheap knock offs as originals.

Very happy. Super cozy and soft.
Natural comfort is at its best when you combine luxury linen with supple cotton in this beautiful duvet set. Machine washable, the shabby chic look is yours with this wonderful set.
The color is not true white - it's more of a cream color. Otherwise very substantial fabric that is both soft and durable after several washings.
Exactly what I was looking for, very happy with my purchase !
"can you tell me the percentages of each fabric?"

Curated by Paula Chakravartty and Crystal Parikh.
Often driven by militarism and neo-imperial ambitions, the hardening of ethno-nationalism and sectarianism across much of Asia and the Middle East has transformed diasporic political and cultural formations. Increasingly, we see ethno-nationalist and sectarian logics determining who gets to speak on behalf of postcolonial national communities, fraught with inequality, military occupations, and geopolitical tensions throughout the region. This symposium addresses the transnational dimensions of contemporary postcolonial nationalisms and racialized majoritarianisms to consider the possibilities for diasporic dissent and coalitional solidarities.

The cost of gridlock in Metro Vancouver will be more than $1 billion higher each year by 2045 without transit upgrades that depend on referendum approval of a 0.5 per cent sales tax.
Metro congestion costs to soar without more transit: Study
Longer commutes add up to high price for Metro Vancouver residents, business, according to study from mayors
The cost of traffic congestion in Metro Vancouver – already estimated at $1 billion a year – will soar to $2.8 billion by 2045 without major transit upgrades, according to a study released by the Metro mayors' council to back the Yes side in the regional transit referendum.
The study by HDR Consulting projected costs from longer commutes – including increased trip times, emissions and wasted fuel – as well as lost productivity and lost opportunities for residents, businesses and the economy.
Underpinning the study is the assumption that a million more residents will come to the region over the next 30 years, and that if the transit service remains frozen they'll add 600,000 additional vehicles to the road system.
That would moderate to 500,000 extra vehicles if the referendum results in a Yes vote and the upgrades allow more of the newcomers to take transit instead of clogging the roads.
The difference translates into 33 to 40 per cent less in costs from congestion compared to the status quo scenario, although the study found congestion costs will increase even with the mayors' plan to $1.7 billion by 2045.
The study led by economist David Lewis argues traffic jams raise costs for businesses and makes it harder to succeed, while hindering job opportunities because worsening congestion limits how far workers can reasonably commute.
Less time spent with family can mean higher child-care costs and other personal impacts.
"This quantified what we're saying happens with another million people – that there's a personal as well as financial impact to the economy that will affect all of us," Metro board chair Greg Moore said.
Referendum ballots go out around March 15 and Metro residents have until late May to mail them back with their decision – for or against a 0.5 per cent Metro-only sales tax increase to fund a $7.5 billion raft of improvements.
The mayors' plan includes major increases in regular and express bus service, more frequent SeaBus, extra West Coast Express cars, more HandyDart service, as well as three major projects – light rail lines in Surrey, a Broadway subway in Vancouver and a new Pattullo Bridge.
Moore said a No vote will leave the region mired in worsening congestion at an ever-mounting cost.
No campaign leader Jordan Bateman called the study "completely flawed" because it assumes there will be absolutely no transportation investment for 30 years.
That's false, he said, because the province is planning a new bridge at the Massey Tunnel, the Pattullo Bridge can likely be rebuilt with tolls even after a No vote, and Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner has pledged to find a Plan B to build light rail in Surrey if necessary.
"No one thinks there's going to be no transportation investment for 30 years with a No vote."
Moore insisted there's no other plan on the table that has the backing of the region's mayors and the provincial government.
"This is the plan and this is the way we're proposing to fund it."
Moore said the HDR study factored in construction of the Evergreen Line and an expected Massey Bridge, and only examined the relative effect of the projects proposed to be built with the new sales tax.

Ivo Karlovic miraculously took his match against Kei Nishikori into a decider after losing the first two sets but suffered a heartbreaking blow when he was toppled in a fifth set tiebreak.
The 39-year-old — the oldest man in the draw — produced a vintage serving display and won the fourth set with four consecutive aces to take his total up to 47 for the match.
The game before he iced the set, Karlovic broke No. 8 seed Nishikori to love for the second time as the tennis world reacted with shock to the incredible comeback.
Tennis coach and ESPN analyst Brad Gilbert was among those to express their admiration for Karlovic, tweeting: "Are you kidding?"
Nishikori then staged a remarkable recovery of his down. Serving at 4-4 in the fifth set, the Japanese star was down 0-40 but clawed his way back to win the game before Karlovic held serve to make it 5-5.
Both players held their next service games and the deciding set went to a tiebreak.
Drama struck when Karlovic was down 5-6 in the first-to-10 breaker. A Karlovic ball was called long and Nishikori hit the half volley into the net.
However, the Croatian challenged the call and Hawkeye showed the ball clipped the baseline and was actually in. Instead of replaying the point, it was awarded to Karlovic because the umpire deemed Nishikori would never have kept the ball in play even if he knew it was good.
Nishikori wagged his finger and had a crack at the umpire, but the umpire stood his ground.
That made it 6-6 and then 6-7 when Karlovic won the next point but incredibly, Nishikori won two points on Karlovic's serve and gave himself two match points when he went up 9-7. He thumped a return winner at his first opportunity to clinch a thrilling win.
Elsewhere, Ukranian Elina Svitolina took just 67 minutes to thunder past Viktoria Kuzmova and reach the third round.
But after the match, it was the man sitting in her players box that had tongues wagging of a potential romantic pairing.
French star Gael Monfils, who was knocked out yesterday in a five-setter by American Taylor Fritz, was lending his support to Svitolina.
Asked about Monfils sitting in her players box, Svitolina was put in an awkward spot. "Yeah...," she laughed followed by a long pause.
"Everyone saw him so he's supporting me, and hopefully we'll see him more in the future, not only in my box but on the court as well."
Monfils has previously dated fellow tennis pro Dominika Cibulkova and Australian Chelsea Altman, who is now married to AFL player Tyson Goldsack.
On the court, the sixth seed didn't have it all her own way in the first before demolishing Kuzmova in the second set.
Svitolina, a quarter finalist in last years' open, will play Karolina Pliskova after she recorded a 4-6 6-1 6-0 win over Madison Brengle.


Always start off by washing your hair with a non residue building shampoo. I know that for long dreadlocks you can easily use a bottle of shampoo in one wash. A more cost-effective way, if you need that lather, would be castle soap. It's pure soap and doesn't have any "crap" in it. There are also bar soaps and shampoos by Knotty Boy that work great.
All these ingredients are nourishing to your hair. The mixture melts when heated so it shouldn't cause much build up, if any. Remember: start off with a little first and then adjust to your needs. You can use this butter after your shampoo and/or maintenance routine or whenever you feel you too dry for comfort.
