King feels ashamed for believing that the elixir was for magic and making Eda turn into a beast for trying to get Luz interested in demons as he has no friends. King, noticing that Eda's eyes have turned black, remembers that those kinds of demons are sensitive to light, meaning they can use it to their advantage. He asks Luz to cast the light spell, but she doesn't know how to do it, but she then sees something on his phone for a moment, a pattern in the circle Eda made, and when she follows it, she manages to do the spell, thus making her first spell. Luz begins to cast more light spells and King gets Eda's attention to lead her to the spells, and when she does, they blind her with a much larger spell and knock her unconscious with it, giving her the elixir to bring her back to normal while she is unconscious. One afternoon while King was teaching her demonology, it began to rain boiling hot rain, causing Eda to arrive earlier, so Luz took the opportunity to ask her to teach her spells.

They toss a blue log in her lap and reveal they raided the Bonesborough Garden Club for palistrom wood so she can carve her own palisman. While Hooty is fending off the Emperor's Coven, Eda is making Luz a Witch's Cloak when her curse acts up and it takes multiple elixirs to get her back to normal. As they leave for the castle, Luz learns of the Healing Hat and thinks it can cure Eda. After the tour, Luz stays behind and is surprised when Willow and Gus stay to help her. They sneak into the artifact room but are soon caught by Lilith, who takes Luz hostage and sends her friends to deliver a message to Eda.

Hexside students

At first her mom thinks it is a video call and Luz is playing a game, however, after arriving at the historical society, Camila realizes it is real and convinces her to help. Luz combines the fire and ice glyphs with Sleeping Nettles to knock out Kikimora, and she hands the Golden Guard his staff back. After they knock out the dragon and defeat Kikimora, Luz goes to the palismen as the Golden Guard attempt to attack, but changes his mind before leaving and reveals his name is Hunter. Back at the Owl House, Luz goes to her room as Eda and King barge in through the window.

Odalia Blight

Gwen explains how she ran into a healer named Master Wortlop and they go to meet him. After giving him the items he requested, he gives Gwen a book that contains the cure for Eda. Following her palisman's birth, Luz managed to regain some of her previous spirit, being noticeably more happy, playful and confident in herself once again, which continued to grow following her heartfelt reunion with King and Eda after enduring months of separation from them. Arguably, Luz's devotion to her loved ones also serves as her greatest weakness, as she is constantly placing their burdens on her shoulders and blaming herself whenever she believes that her actions have hurt them. This was seen when she blamed herself intensely for both Eda's capture by Lilith and later the loss of her magic, despite Eda's reassurances that neither was her fault. This sense of guilt would traumatically increase, however, after discovering the truth about Belos' identity and the role she inadvertently played in his rise to power, finding the Collector, and nearly wiping out all of witch and demon-kind on the Day of Unity.

She seems to value her family, as she fears her mother and was utterly distraught at the prospect of being disowned by her family back in her hometown if she failed to attend the family gathering while being torn by her duties with the Emperor's Coven. However, when Terra Snapdragon reveals that Belos wants to give her a promotion, she immediately disowns her family and heartlessly states that her family and hometown can burn, showing that despite her love for her family, she values her career more than them. Under her guise as "Miki", her costume consists of a St. Epiderm abomination track uniform that hides most of her recognizable features. She wears a light pink wig with a ponytail that covers up her conjoined hands, as well as a pair of glasses to obscure her eyes. Unlike her usual attire, her mouth remains visible, showing an upturned tusk scarcely visible prior. She wears a dark blue cape over her arms, with a brown pauldron sitting atop her right shoulder.

In "Hollow Mind", Luz is shown trying to convince the people of the Isles that Belos is actually evil, even trying to question Hunter about it. After both get trapped in Belos' mindscape, Luz notes how different it looks than when she was in Willow's. After running into "Inner Belos", she and Hunter soon find out that the supposed mindscape was fake, with Luz noting that it represents the lies Belos has told, and they fall into the real one. As they go through his memories, Luz finds more evidence of Belos faking the supposed threat of wild magic as well as hurting people with the coven sigils. However, when she sees Philip writing in his diary that his "companions" didn't make it, she becomes hesitant and asks him why he brought them there, only for him to reveal that he needed a sacrifice for the Stonesleeper guarding the door in order to reach the Collector.

When Belos possesses the Titan's heart and infects the Boiling Isles, Luz sacrifices her life to save the Collector, who becomes remorseful while realizing the fragility and value of life. After Luz is restored to life by a repentant Titan, the Collector helps keep her friends and the Archive House safe, and is shown gratitude by Amity once Belos is defeated and destroyed. After restoring everyone under his spell, the Collector decides to return to the stars to do some "growing up", but is encouraged by King to revisit the Isles in the future. He also creates a permanent portal between the Human and Demon Realms for Luz, and returns to put on a light show for her "King-ceañera" party. In season two, it is shown that Bump openly enjoys Luz's presence at the school but is forced by the Blights to expel her, Gus, and Willow, despite not wanting to.

Raine manages to break the Collector's spell and expels Belos from their body. But despite Raine's efforts to stop him, Belos merges with the Titan's heart and takes control of the Boiling Isles just as Amity, Gus, Hunter, and Willow escape their puppet forms. The Collector takes King as his personal playmate while turning most of the Boiling Isles' residents into puppets. Showing sympathy for him, they take him on a tour of the Boiling Isles to the sites of past adventures so they can help him understand true friendship.

As they play games, Luz and her friends fight for their lives and manage to survive. Eventually, the Collector breaks down in tears and reveals that his siblings told him to come to their planet, where he befriended the baby titans. However, his siblings started attacking the titans, and their father accused him of hurting them and imprisoned him. He laments never having a friend who didn't betray him and comments on how close Luz and the others are. They explain that they were not like that at first and show the Collector how they grew close.

Despite this, high school would remain difficult for Luz, as she presumably continued to face the same challenges she did before. They watch as Flapjack sacrifices himself for Hunter and, after Hunter comes to, he says he knows about Flapjack's sacrifice. When Amity asks about Luz helping Belos find the Collector, Luz reluctantly reveals that she helped Belos meet the Collector.

As the Gland Prix is approaching, Luz and King train for the event as the winner gets interviewed and King wants to send a message to his father. Eda decides to put his message on Penstagram and he delivers his message with Eda being shocked and overjoyed that he wants to legally become her son. After Eda produces his broken horn, King reluctantly believes her and runs off in shock. After realizing Eda never mentioned him falling, Luz thinks the answer lies in the blocked hole. The group makes their way in and unblocks the hole before going up to find an empty room.

"Agony of a Witch" reveals that Lilith was the one who cursed Eda in the first place, having originally thought it would merely weaken her for a short time so she would lose the competition for the last remaining place in the coven. Eda had unbeknownst to Lilith decided to forfeit the contest, and Lilith has been searching for a cure ever since out of guilt. Hunter notices a shooting star carrying the Collector and King, so the group flies to the now abandoned Bonesborough, where the Collector has turned it into a playground to play with his puppets. After a round of playing, the Collector and King fly off to get Eda, the only citizen the Collector wants that has not turned into a puppet. Luz's group eventually arrives at the Owl House, now completely abandoned and desecrated. Camila talks to Gus and Willow about Luz's worries of wanting to make amends to her mother, with Luz wanting to stay in the Human Realm permanently to do so, and talks with Willow about her bottling up her emotions, which Willow denies.

As grudgby season starts up, Boscha begins to bully Willow and she asks Amity to speak with her. When Boscha dumps trash on Willow, Luz challenges Boscha to a grudgby match, surprising everyone. After Amity talks to Luz, she decides to forfeit and Boscha uses her as target practice. However Gus, Willow, and Amity arrive and the girls decide to team up with Luz as Gus cheers from the sidelines. Despite her team gaining more points, Boscha wins after catching the Rusty Smidge.

In "Hunting Palismen", it is mentioned that Amity has been absent from Hexside in order to prevent herself from bumping into Luz following the kiss, much to Luz's dismay. In "Hooty's Moving Hassle", Luz, Willow, and Gus accidentally bring the entire house to life during a Moonlight Conjuring. They decide to take Hooty out on a joyride, and when the demon hunters capture Hooty later, Luz stops them from trying to sell Hooty off as exotic meat, claiming he would taste terrible.

The open platform with a roof is fully suspended but low enough for younger children. A rock wall, slide, swings and zip line keep kids busy and entertained. And even though it’s for kids, the green, white and woodsy color pallet gives the overall structure a more sophisticated look — beautiful in any backyard. This open concept from @the.planted.home is essentially a platform built around the tree. A roof provides coverage while short walls and a swinging door keep the space enclosed without completely blocking open views and airflow. These treehouse kits are a DIYer's dream, and they'll help your children's dreams come true, too.

Food & Fun

The classic A-frame makes efficient use of materials and space. This no-nonsense design (project plans available on Etsy) also creates a summer camp feel. The smart use of materials (and easily constructed design) makes sure kids get sun and rain protection with a maximum amount of interior play space. If there’s no room for a porch, why not add a balcony instead? With the right design, you’ll get more square footage for outdoor treetop play.

Cool Ideas for a Kids’ Treehouse

There's a bunch of different plans to choose from, some are simple, and some are fancy. This product is a digital download of two different plans —depending on if you have one or two trees to build with. Either way, you'll end up with a snug treehouse that packs three windows and an awesome trap door entryway into its 28-square-foot frame. A smaller design means this treehouse is cheaper and easier to build. These are some of these most inspirational treehouses from around the world. Play and exercise treehouses are sometimes considered risky for the kids.

When building on a single main trunk, level the main platform by cantilevering the beams and supporting them from below. It’s important to get creative when building an indoor tree house for kids – and add in some fun and imagination. Classic dark stains give this tree house a traditional feel which also doubles as an elevated platform bed.

Treehouse ideas will fill the minds of many families with kids or even when babies are still on their way. This one consists of a clubhouse with swinging windows and a functional door, plus a giant rock-climbing platform connected by our favorite feature — the rope bridge. It's not fancy, but a treetop platform like this one gets the job done without you breaking every bone in your body trying to build it.

Located just a few steps from the river, the unique treehouse lodgings at Guadalupe River Houses put you in the middle of the action. In Central Texas, the Hill Country surrounding Austin and San Antonio is well known for its refreshing creeks and winding rivers. Quietly nested near the town of Seguin, you’ll find Geronimo Creek Retreat, a wonderfully rustic collection of treehouses, cabins, and tepees. And believe it or not, they all have air conditioning, a must in Texas summers. This treehouse, built with skill and imagination, is universally admired for its cool, whimsical aesthetic.

And because the treehouses have been built at various heights, even younger children can be part of the fun. If you’re looking for a unique and quirky vacation retreat for your family, we recommend looking up… way up. That’s where you’ll find magic – a place that will transport you back to the wonder of your own childhood. But these treehouses are a far cry from the one that you may have constructed from scrap plywood in your backyard.

It mounts directly to a tree trunk, doesn't require any branches for support, requires zero two-by-fours, and can allegedly be set-up in two hours. Its 4-foot by 4-foot floor can hold a couple of kids up to eight feet off the ground. While it may not look like a traditional treehouse, it will give kids that same magical feeling of being tucked away in the foliage. Always fancied a backyard pool, but you don't have the massive outdoor space or bottomless budget you think you need?

Just imagine how much fun your little ones will have once it's all done—reading and playing outside in their dreamy treehouse. Continue below to get a look at 26 treehouse ideas we know you and your kids will love. When there’s space to spare, a porch provides room for indoor and outdoor treehouse play.

Finally, routine police work is handled by the United States Capitol Police, which is supervised by the Capitol Police Board, a body to which the sergeant at arms belongs, and chairs in even-numbered years. After the whips, the next ranking official in the House party's leadership is the party conference chair (styled as the Republican conference chair and Democratic caucus chair). Under Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution, seats in the House of Representatives are apportioned among the states by population, as determined by the census conducted every ten years. Each state is entitled to at least one representative, however small its population.

But on Monday, Philly District Attorney Larry Krasner said his office withdrew the warrant after officials learned the protection from abuse order was no longer active. Posey represents a stretch of Florida that includes the Kennedy Space Center and Cape Canaveral and is known as the Space Coast. A member of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, he has taken pride in understanding and leveraging cutting-edge technology and space exploration. Posey, who had received former President Donald Trump’s endorsement for another term in March, announced Friday that he won’t seek reelection in the solidly GOP 8th District and threw his support behind former state Senate President Mike Haridopolos. A last-minute switch could send a former leader of the Florida Legislature to Congress in place of eight-term Republican Rep. Bill Posey, who announced his retirement and backed a successor just before the deadline to get on the primary ballot.

She is lauded by African American entrepreneurs for her work to expand contracting and procurement opportunities and to strengthen businesses. Long active in the women’s movement, Rep. Waters has given encouragement and financial support to women seeking public office. Many young people, including those in the hip-hop music community, praise her for her support and understanding of young people and their efforts at self-expression. One testament to her work is the Maxine Waters Employment Preparation Center, a multimillion dollar campus providing education and employment opportunities to residents of the Watts area.

Committees have extensive powers with regard to bills; they may block legislation from reaching the floor of the House. Standing committees also oversee the departments and agencies of the executive branch. In discharging their duties, standing committees have the power to hold hearings and to subpoena witnesses and evidence. The chairs of House committees, particularly influential standing committees such as Appropriations, Ways and Means, and Rules, are powerful but not officially part of the House leadership hierarchy. Until the post of majority leader was created, the chair of Ways and Means was the de facto majority leader. The party with a majority of seats in the House is known as the majority party.

Speaker of the House: Rep. Mike Johnson

During the first half of the 19th century, the House was frequently in conflict with the Senate over regionally divisive issues, including slavery. The North was much more populous than the South, and therefore dominated the House of Representatives. However, the North held no such advantage in the Senate, where the equal representation of states prevailed. GOP state Rep. Alexander Kolodin likewise accused the body, including the Republicans joining with Democrats, of moving forward because of political pressures and likened abortion to the killing of "infants." But in his retirement announcement, Posey, 76, said “circumstances beyond my control now require me to suspend my reelection campaign.” He said he would continue to serve his current term, which runs through January.

Public safety and immigration will also likely factor into the campaign. The rematch between Republican Rep. Ken Calvert and Democrat Will Rollins is one of several 2024 California races that will help determine which party controls the House. The fact that Tran is the son of Vietnamese immigrants and has a Vietnamese surname could help him build name recognition but won’t be determinative, DeSipio said. The district includes Orange County’s Little Saigon and Vietnamese Americans account for about 17% of voters, according to Political Data, Inc.

Passage of legislation

All five Democratic candidates for attorney general have committed to protecting the right to abortion and access to FDA-approved medications such as mifepristone. Meanwhile, the Republican candidates have said that they do not believe the state constitution guarantees the right to an abortion. As attorney general, both would leave the issue for the state legislature to decide. Abortion has roiled down-ballot races across the country, and Pennsylvania is no exception. Reproductive rights have been a major topic in the attorney general’s race and in the Republican primary for the 1st Congressional District. The primary results in this pivotal swing state are certain to reveal insights about the major issues shaping the general election, namely on abortion and the Israel-Hamas war.

Information for candidates

A member of the House is referred to as a representative, congressman, or congresswoman. With 99% of the expected vote counted, Lee held a 21-point edge over Patel. Hamilton said she had several phone conversations with Republicans the night before the vote and while she would not divulge the details of those conversations, she said it made her cautiously optimistic. "I've known for a while that the votes were there, it just takes a lot of fortitude, a lot of spine," Democratic state Rep. Stephanie Stahl Hamilton, who sponsored the bill, told ABC News' Jaclyn Lee.

There are approximately 20 standing (permanent) committees, organized mainly around major policy areas, each having staffs, budgets, and subcommittees. They may hold hearings on questions of public interest, propose legislation that has not been formally introduced as a bill or resolution, and conduct investigations. Among important standing committees are those on appropriations, on ways and means (which handles matters related to finance), and on rules. There are also select and special committees, which are usually appointed for a specific project and for a limited period.

Congress has created a wide variety of temporary and permanent commissions to serve as advisory bodies for investigative or policy-related issues, or to carry out administrative, interparliamentary, or commemorative tasks. Such commissions are typically created by either law or House resolution, and may be composed of House members, private citizens, or a mix of both. In some cases, the commissions are entities of the House or Congress itself; in other cases, they are crafted as independent entities within the legislative branch.

She authored the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, which provides grants to states, local governments and nonprofits to fight foreclosures, home abandonment and blight and to restore neighborhoods. Through two infusions of funds, the Congresswoman was able to secure $6 billion for the program. Following the Los Angeles civil unrest in 1992, Congresswoman Waters faced the nation’s media and public to interpret the hopelessness and despair in cities across America. Over the years, she has brought many government officials and policy makers to her South Central L.A. They included President Clinton, Vice President Al Gore, Secretaries of Housing & Urban Development Henry Cisneros and Andrew Cuomo, and Alan Greenspan, chairman of the Federal Reserve System.

The rise of the speaker's influence began in the 1890s, during the tenure of Republican Thomas Brackett Reed. While the minority leader was the head of the minority party, the majority leader remained subordinate to the speaker. The speakership reached its zenith during the term of Republican Joseph Gurney Cannon, from 1903 to 1911. The speaker's powers included chairmanship of the influential Rules Committee and the ability to appoint members of other House committees. However, these powers were curtailed in the "Revolution of 1910" because of the efforts of Democrats and dissatisfied Republicans who opposed Cannon's heavy-handed tactics. The states of Washington and California use a similar (though not identical) system to that used by Louisiana.

The Arizona for Abortion Access campaign has been working to get a potential constitutional amendment on the state's ballot to enshrine abortion access. Democrats believe that could boost voter enthusiasm and turnout for their candidates, given how abortion access has succeeded in previous elections since Roe v. Wade's nationwide protections were overruled in 2022.

All Representatives and Senators in Congress

California voters see Jan. 6 as a subplot compared with issues such as abortion and the economy ahead of the 2022 midterm elections. So they will not all be up for election at the same time, their terms are staggered. Every two years, during each midterm and presidential election year, a different third of the Senate is elected. All 435 House seats are up for election every midterm and presidential election year.

The largest committee of the House is the Committee of the Whole, which, as its name suggests, consists of all members of the House. The Committee meets in the House chamber; it may consider and amend bills, but may not grant them final passage. Generally, the debate procedures of the Committee of the Whole are more flexible than those of the House itself. One advantage of the Committee of the Whole is its ability to include otherwise non-voting members of Congress. During debates, a member may speak only if called upon by the presiding officer.

House officers

The allocation of seats is based on the population within the states, and membership is reapportioned every 10 years, following the decennial census. House members are elected for two-year terms from single-member districts of approximately equal population. The House also has one permanent committee that is not a standing committee, the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and occasionally may establish temporary or advisory committees, such as the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. This latter committee, created in the 110th Congress and reauthorized for the 111th, has no jurisdiction over legislation and must be chartered anew at the start of every Congress. The House also appoints members to serve on joint committees, which include members of the Senate and House. Some joint committees oversee independent government bodies; for instance, the Joint Committee on the Library oversees the Library of Congress.

A convicted official is automatically removed from office and may be disqualified from holding future office under the United States. No further punishment is permitted during the impeachment proceedings; however, the party may face criminal penalties in a normal court of law. The speaker is the presiding officer of the House but does not preside over every debate. Instead, they delegate the responsibility of presiding to other members in most cases.

But Pennsylvania voters on Tuesday will cast their ballots in a slew of contentious and potentially decisive congressional and state races that are still sure to make waves as the campaign chugs toward November. Throughout her career, Congresswoman Waters has been an advocate for international peace, justice, and human rights. Before her election to Congress, she was a leader in the movement to end Apartheid and establish democracy in South Africa. She opposed the 2004 Haitian coup d’etat, which overthrew the democratically-elected government of Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti, and defends the rights of political prisoners in Haiti’s prisons.

As discussions continue, the age-old question of how long senators and House representatives should serve in Congress resurfaces. Advocates for longer terms argue that it allows lawmakers to gain expertise and institutional knowledge, while proponents of term limits believe it fosters fresh perspectives and prevents the entrenchment of power. The 435 congressional districts do not include the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S.’s four other island territories — American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands — which each send a non-voting delegate to the House. The House’s standing committees have different legislative jurisdictions.

Still, the district would be easier for Democrats to hold onto with Porter’s incumbency and financial reserves, according to Wasserman. Back in 2022, Republican Scott Baugh narrowly lost to Rep. Katie Porter (D-Irvine), coming just a few points short of unseating a nationally known Democratic Party superstar backed by her own fundraising juggernaut. California’s 47th District is the only open seat of the bunch, and that’s a good thing for Republicans. Whitesides has far more money in his arsenal, with $3 million on hand to Garcia’s roughly $1.8 million reserve, according to the most recent campaign finance filings.

The district has a slight Latino majority, with white voters also accounting for nearly 40% of the electorate, according to data from California Target Book. It includes cities like Madera, Ceres and Merced and portions of Modesto and Turlock, as well as rural swaths of the San Joaquin Valley. This is yet another rematch from 2022, with Democratic former federal prosecutor Will Rollins once again hoping to unseat Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Corona), the longest-serving member of California’s congressional delegation. The coastal Orange County district includes the cities of Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Irvine and Newport Beach.

A seventh delegate, representing the Cherokee Nation, has been formally proposed but has not yet been seated.[30] An eighth delegate, representing the Choctaw Nation is guaranteed by treaty but has not yet been proposed. Additionally, some territories may choose to also elect shadow representatives, though these are not official members of the House and are separate individuals from their official delegates. All 17 members of Pennsylvania’s congressional delegation are running for re-election in 2024 and three of those incumbents are facing serious primary challengers. Several others are also watching to see who their opponent will be in the fall. And, in some cases, the outcome of Tuesday’s races could determine which way those seats swing on Election Day. Democrats held a five-percentage-point registration advantage as of late February and Biden won the plurality-Asian district in 2020, but despite the registration advantage, Republicans turned out in higher numbers than Democrats in the 2022 midterms.

In 2012, shortly after Mr. Payne died at 77, Donald Payne Jr. won a special election to fill the remainder of his term. He then survived a contentious six-way primary to win the Democratic nomination to represent the 10th District, which includes parts of Essex, Hudson and Union Counties, for a full two-year term beginning in January 2013. A Newark Democrat, he succeeded his father, who was the first Black member of his state’s congressional delegation. In Pennsylvania’s 1st Congressional District, longtime Republican Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick is being challenged on his right flank by a candidate who believes abortions should be banned in nearly all circumstances — including in cases of rape and incest.

As such, the grand opening party was a local affair, with Newport Beach residents top of the guest list, and musical entertainment provided by Aloe Blacc, an internationally-known singer who grew up in Orange County. The celebration was clearly a proud moment for Olson, one that saw him personally seeing to the needs of hotel guests as well as rubbing shoulders with locals. When I stayed at The Notary in January, it was a completely different hotel. The former public areas of the building house an elegant library, several lounges, a terrace and an outdoor swimming pool.

The Eixample district is a perfect grid of wide streets that form blocks with chamfers on each corner, facilitating circulation and visibility. Like the buildings in this original district, the Cotton House Hotel has an interior patio garden. The Eixample was planned at the end of the 19th century and today it is one of the best districts in Barcelona thanks to its planning simplicity and the quantity of services and amenities it offers. It was the district chosen by rich Catalan industrial bourgeoisie to build their stately homes in the Modernist style, which is why it is the area of Barcelona with the highest concentration of buildings in this style. Of particular note are La Pedrera and Casa Batlló, both the work of Gaudí, Barcelona’s most universal architect (they are a 10-minute walk from the hotel).

Anchored by a passion for art, literature, music, or visionary architecture, these hotels serve as an epicenter for culture.
