Highland Park - Experienced Nanny Available
by Amanda collins 02 May '16

02 May '16

I grew up in Pittsburgh and studied English literature and creative writing at a Duquesne University. I love to sing and play music, dance, read, make things, and being outside. I am very qualified and happy to spend my time with children. I have all clearances required to work with children. I have been a nanny for a family of 2 children for over a year. Previously I worked with 2. 5 - 6-year-olds in a Montessori classroom. I believe very much in the importance of fostering independence in a child, in kindness and in patience. I have helped teach the letters and sounds, spelling, math, geography, and practical life skills to the kids in my classroom. I am very confident spending time with and teaching children in this age group. I have a decade of experience babysitting children ages 2-12, many of whom I have known over the years. This has given me the opportunity to see them grow and understand the way they learn and interact with their environment over time. *Can start June or potentially sooner.

Budget airlines
by Pamela Barentine 02 May '16

02 May '16

Thought I'd share the results of my enquiry: Allegiant Air Frontier Airlines Southwest Airlines Spirit Airlines Other useful comments: --check out cheapair.com & fly.com --Frontier is opening a hub in Pittsburgh --Be sure to check bagage policies with Allegiant Air --It may be worth driving to Youngstown with Allegiant Air, because the parking is so cheap there --The closest Frontier hub right now is Cleveland; with more destinations than Pittsburgh, so it may be worth the drive to save money --Southwest includes 2 free check bags in their fares --On any airline, the best way to find the cheapest rates to a specific destination is to do a flexible dates search - this is really easy on southwest. --To search for flexible dates on Southwest, after you put in your cities and preferred dates on the southwest website it will generate a list of options and fares - look at the top of that list and there's a blue box that says flexible date search - click on that and a calendar of days with cheapest fare option each day appears. --I have friends who have flown on Spirit airlines in and out of the Latrobe Airport. I think that's mostly to Florida - I have not done it myself but they have gotten great deals that way. Thanks for all your help! Ya'll are the best :-)

Free Documentary Screening
by Katharine C. Yates 02 May '16

02 May '16

What exactly happens to those clothes and shoes you donate for international aid drives? How do institutions like the World Bank actually impact economic development in places like Kenya, Haiti, and Ghana? How do we actually "end poverty" around the world, or is this an impossible goal? Poverty, Inc., a documentary by Michael Matheson Miller released earlier this year, explores all these topics and more. Fighting poverty is big business - but who profits the most? The West has positioned itself as the protagonist of development, giving rise to a vast multi-billion dollar poverty industry - the business of doing good has never been better. Yet the results have been mixed, in some cases even catastrophic, and leaders in the developing world are growing increasingly vocal in calling for change. Drawing from over 200 interviews filmed in 20 countries, Poverty, Inc. unearths an uncomfortable side of charity we can no longer ignore. >From TOMs Shoes to international adoptions, from solar panels to U.S. agricultural subsidies, the film challenges each of us to ask the tough question: Could I be part of the problem? Pittsburgh Theological Seminary will host a film screening this Thursday, May 5, sponsored by the Metro-Urban Institute<http://www.pts.edu/metrourban> and World Mission Initiative<http://worldmissioninitiative.org/>. Dinner will be provided and there will be time for group discussion following the film. When: Thursday May 5, 2016, 5:00 PM Where: Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, 616 N. Highland Avenue John Knox Room (in Long Hall Administration Building) Dinner Provided For more details, contact Katie Yates at kyates(a)pts.edu<mailto:kyates@pts.edu> or call 412-924-1449 [cid:image003.jpg@01D1A458.0F775090]
