I must say this is a remarkable feat of data collection. The Pew Research Center asked more than 40,000 people from 40 different countries around the world their opinions on seven moral issues, ranging from infidelity to birth control. The graph below shows the median answers respondents gave on each topic. As you might expect, extramarital affairs were widely perceived as the least morally acceptable behavior/issue on the list; contraception was the most:
Let's analyze just the issue of abortion. Globally, a sizeable majority (56 percent) find these kinds of life-ending procedures unacceptable, while a plurality (15 percent) say they are. However, digging into the data a little deeper, the median responses from each respective country were far more interesting. According to the numbers, in the U.S. alone 49 percent of respondents said abortion was not acceptable while just 17 percent said it was. (Twenty-three percent -- shockingly -- responded that abortion wasn't a moral issue at all).
So while generally speaking Western European and North American countries are more inclined to support abortion rights, according to the researchers, anti-abortion sentiment in the United States is strong. There were also zero countries on the list in which more than 50 percent of respondents said abortion was morally acceptable, although some countries came perilously close to that threshold.
Follow the link above to examine more of Pew's findings; there's a lot of data to digest.

Let's swap out almond milk for tahini milk, shall we? If you are following a plant-based and/or paleo lifestyle, or just obsessed with smoothie bowls, you may be eating too many nuts. Nuts are healthy but are meant to be consumed in small dosages (fun fact– I once OD'ed on almonds after eating about a pound and ended up incredibly sick for 24 hours!). That all goes out the window for me when I am eating paleo cookies made with almond flour, almond or cashew milk, and nut butter all day long.
Enter tahini, which is great for us that cutting down on nut consumption, or for those who are allergic or can't tolerate nuts.Sesame, which is what tahini is made out of, is considered an OG superfood. Besides the fact that it is oh-so-delicious, it's also filled with tons of vitamins and minerals including iron, calcium, magnesium, and more!
The best part of this recipe? It takes less than a minute! Perfect if you are in a pinch and ran out of your favorite non-dairy milk. Test it out and let me know what you think!
1-Minute Creamy Tahini Milk (Paleo, Vegan)
This easy tahini milk is made with only two ingredients! Plus some add ons if you want to make it sweeter. It is ready in the blender in less than a minute and is great to use in elixirs, your morning granola, coffee, or anything else you use milk in.
- 4 tbsp Tahini
- 4 cups Water
- 1 dash pink salt
Optional sweetener of choice (I prefer 2 dates or 1 tablespoon of maple syrup or raw honey if not vegan)
Blend all ingredients.
If you are adding sweetener, adjust to your personal preference.

Remembering (and as Peter might say, "Futuring") our Friend, Peter Wintonick
You want to bring them back.
Would they, if they could, return,
after such a heavy crossing?
You try, until the wish, almost
disattached, gnawing, growling,
finally bursts loose to call them.
It's difficult to write about our dear friend Peter Wintonick, who passed away less than one week ago at the young age of 60, on November 18th. Since his passing we've been absorbing the wonderful outpouring of stories about Peter, and the global reach of his kindness and creativity has been rendered in so many tributes and laments that one wonders what more to say.
Peter wouldn't want us to spend too long doting on his death, or his life for that matter. He'd want us to soldier on, to push the green fuse up, to daringly dab the brush against the canvass with a renewed, invigorated ferocity inspired by ours, and his, time on this planet. But Peter was also a spirited dissident, always refusing to acquiesce to the status quo, never one to retire to the sack without a good debate or snappy rally.
And so, we begin with the excerpt above, from a poem written by Edwin Honig in 1968. Honig is the subject of Alan Berliner's new documentary, which played at this year's RIDM documentary festival in Montreal – a dream-like occasion syncopated by the non-corporeal presence of Peter, who would have, had he managed to make it to Montreal for a quick Canadian festival dip before soaking himself in the familiar frothy waters of IDFA in Amsterdam, been at every social gathering, gathering all of us, his friends and innocent stander by, in to his infectious fold: his unending wit, creativity and generosity.
Peter was a dear friend who supported Cinema Politica since the early days and who came on several years ago as our "project advisor." Like other appellations created for Peter in his life, this title was really just a series of words signifying no real station with related resources. Rather, it meant that Peter was on board and would be there for us when we needed him.
Peter didn't fit into professional boxes and forms. He transcended the professionalism that currently usurps so much documentary activist work. He kicked against the pricks that would have him function as a functionary, or be dignified as a dignitary, and instead drifted from intellectual and creative post to the next with a focused attention on the grand scheme of saving ourselves from ourselves through art, and did so with his signature geniality and finely-honed Ukrainian wit.
Peter was the magical being who would, after weeks or months of documentary disappearance (meaning he was just somewhere where we were not), appear in the corner at Ezra's 40th birthday party, chatting earnestly with a non-believer about some new fantastic documentary they must absolutely rush out and support. He would appear at documentary events all over the world, seemingly having teleported from canal-side colloquia in Amsterdam, capitalism-contested panels in Reykjavik, serious thinking suites in South Australia, tea ceremonies with bureaucrats in rural China, midnight tents in Scandinavia, sweaty dance parties in Toronto, and every documentary space and festival place in between.
And his magical appearance was made all the more enchanting by his disarming and generous presence, where his vitality for life and exuberance for discourse defied all scientific evidence regarding the fatigue that constant travel and work produces in regular earthly beings.
Peter, when he wasn't physically there for us, was there in his disembodied global voice. Once, some years back, we couldn't afford to attend IDFA and we dropped Peter a quick note asking if he could connect us with the right, sympathetic people to speak with. A few days later an email appeared in our inboxes, addressed to the festival's top brass, with our names in the cc field. In it, Peter informed IDFA that we were "the two most important programmers I think in Canada." Not among the most important, not two of, but THE most important. How had they not heard of us?
Never afraid to deploy hyperbole to help a friend or even someone he had just met but whose project was not receiving just attention and respect, Peter was always an incredibly generous soul to have on your side of the court. He of course gave more than supportive emails and letters – he gave friendship, guidance, love, and it seems, so much of himself. Peter was not part of the documentary community, Peter was the gravitational pull that brings so many of us from the shadows and margins toward a core – an enduring sense of belonging so embodied and expressed by Peter that it is difficult to think of him as a "member" of any group at all, documentary or otherwise.
This was indelibly imprinted on us at this year's RIDM festival and surrounding events, where Peter still managed to influence and bring warmth to our community from his hospital bed, even eliciting a standing ovation from eight kilometers away. His name was held on each of our tongues as we traversed the social spaces and films of this year's festival, and continues to be carried in quiet remembrance as well as spoken out loud at ongoing documentary events all over the world.
Peter being Peter, he timed his passing while many of us were gathered together in his much-loved documentary community, yet he did not cast a dark shadow over our strange ritual of gathering obsessive forces around non-fiction art and culture here in Montreal this year.
Instead, Peter cast a long and beautiful light over the proceedings, one that was visible and resplendent in this rich community that he was so dedicated to and in love with. And we remain, in kind, dedicated to his vision and spirit, and forever in love with the presence he brought and the inspiration he continues to sow.
From your friends and comrades-in-documentary-arms, Svetla Turnin (pictured with Peter at a doc protest in Toronto in 2012) and Ezra Winton.

During the summer months, there is nothing better than being able to get out and explore everything Melbourne has to offer. Melbourne serviced apartments allow you to have the convenience of a home away from home, and be centrally located to make the most out of your trip.
The most challenging thing when visiting a city is deciding where to go and how to spend your time. With summer well and truly here and so many things on offer, it can be overwhelming when trying to research the top things to see in Melbourne. It is important to do the touristy day trips but also to make sure you take the time to see how Melbournites enjoy the city too.
It felt like winter lasted for such a long time this year, which is why we have been looking forward to the summer months. That is the reason we wanted to put together this list of our top ten things to do in Melbourne this summer.
Enjoying a day hitting up the wineries in Victoria is an absolute must. Looking out onto the green vineyards and sampling the best wine Victoria has to offer is certainly a day well spent in my eyes.
Although Melbourne beaches aren't necessarily as good as the ones that Sydney has to offer, the vibes at the beach are certainly not to be missed out on. St Kilda is a great place to have a beer and chill on the beach listening to music.
A lazy afternoon at Edinburgh Gardens is a fun and vibrant way to spend any sunny day. With hipsters and families galore, people to watch, you won't get bored.
Teaming a icy cold cider with a good film overlooking the city is one way to spend a Thursday night. It's great for a chilled but engaging evening.
Have a walk around the gardens and take in all the smells and colours. It will be the best garden-themed stroll of your life; it really is an escape.
With a cocktail menu to die for, and an atmosphere that is like no other, Madame Brussels is a venue that everyone should check out.
'Naked in the Sky' is a rooftop bar on top of Naked for Satan, the view is as cool as the trendy cats that frequent this bar.
Cycling around taking in the artwork sprawled across the city is an easy way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The colourful laneways and creative walls dotted around the city are just astounding.
To truly see the expanse of Melbourne, why not take a short drive out to the Dandenong Ranges. A gentle hike will take you to a viewpoint where you can look down on all of Melbourne.
With Melbourne being such a great place to enjoy the finest foods, the markets on the weekends are the perfect way to buy high quality produce and give directly back to the local farmers.
Good luck finding the perfect Melbourne adventure for your summer! Happy holidays!
RNR North Melbourne apartment complex offers luxurious, self-contained, serviced apartments located just minutes away from the heart of the Melbourne CBD. Ideally situated for all types of stays, we offer the ultimate in convenient and affordable serviced accommodation.


text: So I took video of what happend and did an explanation, I am a little loopy as I got hit hard and one of the vertebre in my neck is off as I did have myself checked out, I think I will be ok but was able to get some chiropractic care with in hours and that has helped. be forwarned the classy guy who was responsable for this drops a lot of bad words in the video as I started recording just moments after it happened, of course this guy does not even check to see if others are ok he just rants about he just fixed the power steering. Never appologized, just an apathetic jerk. Everyone else in the accident, All us victems were delightful despite the situation. Tesla P85D in Accident wreck pile up - YouTube In this pile up the truck side swiped and totaled every car but the Tesla, I was the only one who was able to drive away with out a broken axel, or bent fram. the PT crusier had a wheel bent and side swipe. the Land Rover was side swiped and the front add on grill was bent half way off and riped the front up, the black sedan was side swiped and the Murono frame was bent so badly the pasanger doors would not open...the Tesla was the last in the row of dominos and took the least amount of damage but my neck took the blunt of it. I got away with just paint and bumper scratches and a very uncomfortable day. Calling the service center they can get a new bumper or aproved repair shop to replace no problem, calling the repair place they said they are so backed up they cant get too it till october...so It looks like after the insurance adjusters look at it I will cover the damage with a bumper sticker...but what sticker? I am still blown away and feel lucky I got out with what looks like just a fender bender...the damage on the other cars will no doubt cause them to be totaled. Several passer bys and even one of the cops that showed up and all expressed sadness, "oh no a tesla got hit too" was the comment I heard each time.

At the Dugit Distribution Center, located in downtown Tel Aviv, we are continually looking for ways to impact and improve the physical and spiritual conditions of the needy and homeless of Tel Aviv.
On March 8th, the world celebrated Women's Day and took time out to honor women for their achievements and contributions to society. There are many women in Tel – Aviv that would not typically get to be a part of this special day because of their socioeconomic status. Here at Dugit, we decided that we wanted to do something to honor these women. Dennis and Nadia who manage the Dugit Distribution Center ran with this vision and organized a fantastic event.
We secured a ballroom for the evening and invited believing, professional musicians to perform and share their testimonies. We also had a woman Pastor attend and give her testimony. She was a shining example of how much God can do with someone who fully commits their life to Him. She truly touched the hearts of all who were present. After the testimonies had been shared, more than half of the group came to the front and asked for prayer from the Dugit staff. Some were prayers for health, others for blessings, and some to feel God's love in their lives.
After this time of fellowship and ministry, we invited the ladies to a fabulous buffet dinner. As they sat and enjoyed the meal, the sound of joy and laughter could be heard throughout the hall. You could see on their faces that they were relaxed and enjoyed their time. It was a welcomed break from the reality of the struggle of living in Israel today.
The response to this evening was outstanding, and all the glory goes to God for making this happen! Our desire was to convey to these particular women who live in conditions far below the average standard of life that Yeshua loves them as a Father loves his child. As the evening came to a close, one after another the ladies came to us and thanked us with tears in their eyes for the honor and love they had felt.
We would like to convey to you, our supporters, an expression of gratefulness from these precious women of Tel Aviv. We thank God for the success of the evening but without your continued support events like this would not be possible. It is so amazing to see how much the love of God can make a difference in the lives of these precious people! Please continue to pray with us for their salvation as well as their physical needs.

Wasps are keen to sign Australian international utility back Kurtley Beale for next season, according to Sky sources.
Last August the 27-year-old signed a two-year deal with the Australian Rugby Union, which was expected to keep him with Australia and the Waratahs until 2017.
However, Wasps hope Beale will line up alongside his friend and former Melbourne Rebels team-mate Danny Cipriani in a formidable backline at the Ricoh Arena in the autumn.
The duo could team with existing stars such as Elliot Daly, Joe Simpson and Christian Wade to give Wasps one of the most dynamic back-lines in Europe next season.
Beale is one of the most versatile players in world rugby and has played fly-half, centre, wing and full-back for the Wallabies.
The Waratahs player hit the headlines for the wrong reason in 2014 when he was disciplined for sending an offensive text message to then business manager Di Patston, who later resigned and was followed by Australia head coach Ewen McKenzie.

Old Bugs
Gravestorm posted a topic in Crisis CenterIf anyone knows any old bugs that haven't been fixed yet, you can write about them here.
Unexpected maintenance thread
Gravestorm posted a topic in Crisis CenterAs Ankama is doing quite a few of these lately I think it's a nice idea to keep track of them in one thread. Feel free to write here to notify others if a server cannot be accessed or any other useful information regarding server status or compensations. Not to be confused with Expected server maintenance that helps the servers stay fresh and backed up in case a bad day comes. Useful official information can be found on Dofus Discord, Dofus Twitter (EN, IT, DE, FR, ES, PTBR, Server dev), Dofus Official Forums (EN, IT, DE, FR, ES, PTBR), Server Status Page. The first is a juicy one: Due to huge stability issues after the update on May 23, 2017, all game servers will be restarted every day at 07:00, 15:00, and 23:00 DUT (restarting should take between 15 to 25 minutes), until the issue is identified and fixed.

Dofus 1.29
Gravestorm posted a topic in Ankama AnnouncementsYou wanted it? Well, here it is! The old version of DOFUS, the infamous Version 1.29, as specially requested by some of our more nostalgic players, is now available to all subscribers. As you may know, there are already two 1.29 servers, Eratz and Henual, that, until now, have been reserved for the Hispanic community. Historically, we kept them so we wouldn't be unfairly disadvantaging our Latin American players, whose computers may not necessarily have been able to keep up with the performances required to enjoy DOFUS 2.0 to the fullest. Now, we have decided to open these servers to all our communities, on one condition: you must be subscribed. But... why? The desperate pleas of our more nostalgic players got the better of us! If we were going to bring back Version 1.29, we decided we might as put it face to face with our new update, which represents one of the biggest changes in the game's interface and design to be seen in many years: Update 2.36! We hope this will show our most dedicated players that we have really, REALLY improved over the years. We understand this desire to return to a simpler time, to once again get caught up in this blast from the past... but you may be deeply disappointed to discover that you've been looking at the past through rose-tinted glasses. In fact, this release will prove definitively to anyone having doubts that it wasn't better before, but that... it was good at the time. This decision was also taken in the best interest of our communities, both in terms of equality and security. As some countries still need to access these servers, we've decided to offer the same opportunity to all our players, without them having to resort to using a VPN and, in doing so, risking the security of their account. A trip back in time... ... that has no future! In fact, this retro version of DOFUS is a bit like trying to revive a Pandawa the morning after Saint Potrick's, so don't expect too much! Since this version is frozen in time, there are certain services it doesn't offer: No support (except in very specific cases) No updates No services (like color changes, server transfers, etc) No recurring in-game events like Kwismas, Vulkania, and Al Howin (and therefore no special events either) Error messages and bugs that are still there and will stay there forever, perserved like a Moskito in amber. Subscription gifts cannot be sent to the 1.29 server (but they can still be sent to the current version of the game) To be brief, this internet re-release is simply a small token for our more nostalgic members who want to wander misty-eyed through the World of Twelve of their younger days. But that's it! So, if you want to have an enjoyable game experience on these servers, it's up to you to take care of them. How do you access them? You'll need to have a certified account (see Ankama's account certification procedure). Be subscribed Install the DOFUS 1.29 client ... that's all there is to it! If you run into problems or have any questions, please read the FAQ on the DOFUS forum. Click here to download the game.

Table saws are known to most woodworkers as the heart of any wood shop. The table saw, also known as a saw bench, is built with a circular blade that is mounted on an arbor, and runs on an electric motor. The blade cuts through wood easily at a high speed and makes the woodworker's tasks very easy. Because of their versatility, these heavily used machines have different accessories in the market which make specialized tasks even easier and more efficient. Let us have a look at the different kinds of table saw accessories, and learn how to buy the right one.
Infeed and outfeed tables: These can help make ripping on longboards and other sheet materials safe, easy, and efficient
Feather boards: A feather board retains the timber from the rip fence and may either have one or many springs that are held in place by springs, higher power magnets, or growth pubs.
Rip fence: This fence guides the workpiece when cutting. The distance between the blade and the fence can also be adjusted to the area where you want to make the cut. Most saws already have a rip fence system; however, certain table saws are sold without the fence to enable the buyer to purchase the fence according to his needs.
Inserts: A table saw uses inserts to help prevent tear out by giving support for the wood fibers which in turn create a clean cut.
Splitter: Also known as a riving knife, this vertical projection can be found behind the saw blade and helps in preventing kickback by stopping the material being cut from being rotated. Some splitters may even incorporate a mechanism known as pawls, which has teeth biting on the wood to prevent kickback. Although many find the splitter to be among the unnecessary table saw accessories, operating a saw without it is very dangerous and can cause serious injury or even death, regardless of experience.
Hold down. A table saw's circular blade can pick up a piece of wood if it wasn't held down. Hold downs do this task and are like vertical versions of feather boards. These are attached to a fence with magnets using a set of magnets or sturdy clamps. Other kinds of utilize a pair of wheels that use a spring-loaded mechanism to assist push a workpiece when it's being guided beyond the blade.
These are just among the useful accessories for a table saw. Another thing to consider purchasing is a table saw fence. This system actually gives the user even more protection as it covers the saw's sharp blade as it spins at a high rate. The fenabout helps woodworkers of all experience levels work without worrying on getting injured. Although some table saws don't originally have a pre-built fence system, this could always be purchased online with ease and have it installed to your machine.
While getting all these accessories could significantly help in improving the user's safety and the overall woodworking experience, let us not forget to purchase these items after doing adequate research.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Feb. 15, 2016 -- Northrop Grumman Corporation (NYSE:NOC) recently donated $3,172,500 worth of training software to the Naval Academy Foundation for use at the U.S. Naval Academy, continuing the company's commitment to the educational and professional development of future Navy and Marine Corps officers.
The company donated 135 licenses of its recently upgraded Voyage Management System (VMS) software to the U. S. Naval Academy Foundation for midshipman training.
The company also presented the Elmer A. Sperry Junior Navigator of the Year Award to Ensign Eric Young '15, USN. The award recognizes a member of the 2015 graduating class who demonstrated outstanding navigating skills and knowledge during his or her four years at the academy.
"Northrop Grumman is pleased and honored to continue our longtime partnership with the Naval Academy through the Naval Academy Foundation," said Todd Leavitt, vice president, Maritime Systems business unit, Northrop Grumman. "It is our privilege to support the talented young men and women who will become this great nation's future warfighters."
The VMS software incorporates the latest version of the Electronic Chart Display and Information System-Navy (ECDIS-N) which was selected by the navigator of the U.S. Navy and is now a fleet standard. The donation enables future naval officers to achieve proficiency with the same navigation software on their vessels after they receive their commissions. This software is already installed or under contract for installation on more than 200 U.S. Navy ships, submarines and educational facilities.
"The support of corporate partners like Northrop Grumman makes it possible for the Academy and the Brigade to benefit from resources, including software, that would otherwise be unavailable to them, greatly enriching the midshipman educational experience," said John Rudder '78, senior director of development for the Naval Academy Foundation. "We are tremendously grateful to Northrop Grumman for their longstanding support of the Academy."
Northrop Grumman is the Naval Academy Foundation's largest corporate partner, donating close to $20 million in support of the Academy's strategic priorities.
The VMS software donations and the Elmer A. Sperry Award are naval support traditions at Northrop Grumman. This is the sixth year the company has sponsored the Elmer A. Sperry Award. The company originally donated VMS software in 2001 and this year's gift brings the total amount of donated software to more than $17 million.
The Elmer A. Sperry Junior Navigator of the Year Award was established by the company to honor Elmer A. Sperry, who founded Sperry Marine (now part of Northrop Grumman) in 1910. Sperry invented the first marine gyrocompass in 1908 and earned more than 350 patents during his career in the maritime industry.
The VMS software will be used by midshipmen in the Academy's computer lab, classrooms and underway operations, allowing sailors to learn relevant navigational skills that will enhance their situational awareness while standing watch on the bridge and improving overall safety at sea.
The Naval Academy Foundation strives to support, promote and advance the mission of the Naval Academy by working in conjunction with Academy leadership to identify strategic institutional priorities, and by raising, managing and disbursing private gift funds that provide a margin of excellence in support of the nation's premier leadership institution.
Northrop Grumman is a leading global security company providing innovative systems, products and solutions in unmanned systems, cyber, C4ISR, and logistics and modernization to government and commercial customers worldwide. Please visit www.northropgrumman.com for more information.

May 4th is Star Wars Day. The date references the popular Star Wars phrase, "May the Force Be With You." Celebrate the Star Wars story with these digital titles from our collections.
Known to locals only as "Ben," the bearded and robed offworlder is an enigmatic stranger who keeps to himself, shares nothing of his past, and goes to great pains to remain an outsider. But as tensions escalate between the farmers and a tribe of Sand People led by a ruthless war chief, Ben finds himself drawn into the fight, endangering the very mission that brought him to Tatooine.
Don't miss the exciting conclusion of the Jedi Quest series! When evil mastermind Granta Omega escapes from planet Korriban, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker must stop him before his sinister power grows out of control. But Ferus, Anakin's rival, is also searching for Omega, and Anakin sees this as a contest he must win. In any showdown between the two sides, there is only one guaranteed outcome: death.
Across the galaxy, the Clone Wars are raging. The Separatists, led by Count Dooku, the onetime Jedi and now secret Sith Lord, continue to press forward, and more and more worlds are either falling, or seceding and joining the cause. Under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, the Republic heroically battles on, championed by its huge army of cloned soldiers and their Jedi generals. Anakin Skywalker, believed by some to be the prophesied "Chosen One" destined to bring balance to the Force, is now a Jedi Knight under the tutelage of his Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi. Death is a constant possibility–and his chances of survival aren't improved by the unexpected arrival of an apprentice: Ahsoka, a brash, inexperienced fourteen-year-old Padawan apprenticed to Anakin. But there's no time for Anakin to question his latest orders: He and Obi-Wan have been assigned a new mission, and failure is not an option.

Pre-Injection 14th May 2011
Race 2 Round 5 Qualifier
Adam Jeffery on the R1 had finally got his number One R1 back with a £3000+ motor installed which was tuned for 172bhp. This with his BSB spec 16".5 wheels on full slicks it was looking like I will not be seeing which way he went.
Mura had turned up with a pair of Racing FJ's plus his wife Caz, who was now getting into the act with an ACU licence and had entered her Honda VFR400 in the 400cc Streetstocks. Paul 'Jorge' had his FJ1100 and had his Wife Kate to to make sure he didn't crash.
Weather was dry so after practice, Race 2 was the race for qualifying.
But unbelievably even before we got to the grid their was a 'plie up', two bikes in the middle of the track has come together and due to oil the start was delayed.
I was placed 5th on the grid with Adam few place behind. The start was good and I was 2nd for two laps but eventually Adam caught me up and passed. I tried to follow and tag onto the back to see his lines. I realised that it would be close and we crossed the line with me only 0.29 seconds behind. I had equalled my best lap at this circuit with a 1;03.7 but Adam on his quick R1 had set a fastest lap of 1;03.16.
We had got an excellent 3rd and 4th in race against the fast Streetstock bikes but 1st and 2nd in class.
Race 12 Round 5
I nearly didn't start the race. The FJ didn't seem to like starting cold, it was taking a long time push before it finally caught, and there was something wrong that would need to be looked into later.
I was expecting a 2nd in class as Adam was on his new super fast R1 and I was riding a 10bhp down (due to head replacement from snapped cam chain see write up) on a 27year old FJ but I was going to make him fight for it.
Had reasonable start and was 4th into the hairpin but by the 3rd lap Adam was once again passed me. I then started to notice it wasn't pulling correctly in the top rev range and I would have to back off the throttle and back on before it would pull; even then it was going flat in top. That's not I wanted with all these fast Streetstock bikes around and finally on the last lap a GSXR1000 got the better of me on the fast back straight.
This left me 5th in race (2nd in class) and Adam had had an excellent result of 3rd in race and obviously 1st in class. Adam had done an amazing lap of 1;02.73, that is seriously fast. I had broke my own personal record and dipped to 1;03.27 but not fast enough.
Back at the pits we looked into the problem and after checking everything out Mura sussed it was the light weight battery fitted. This also cured the poor starting.
That Night Liam had arrange a BBQ and it was a great evening spent eating burgers chatting about Liam's old racing stories, well it wasn't actually racing, more like 'crashing' stories.
May 15th
Race 2; Round 6 Qualifier
It was found out that Adam had had some bad luck and while out in the Power Bike race is new expensive motor had 'gone pop'. No one deserve's this and Adam decided that he would swap engine from his No2 bike as the No1 bike as this had a lot of chassis mods so was worth the extra work.
By first race it was sorted but as I saw him on the grid he was not a happy guy, which can only be expected.
Didn't get a brilliant start but by the first lap I was fourth with Adam sat behind me, I felt I was being slightly held up by a GSXR1000 No7. Adam passed both me and No7, this meant I had to follow if I was to get near him so manage to get under the Gixer before the Esses and kept Adam in my slights.
By lap 6 I was getting really close as now I had no problems with the top end, but on the last lap 8 we came across back markers, who happen to be Paul on his FJ. Adam got him just before Brooklands Hairpin but as I tried to follow Paul was already heading for the apex, so not wanting to do a harsh move I waiting until he had cleared the hairpin and went after Adam.
This had allowed Adam to get a 2 second lead as we crossed the line. Being a race for Grid position it wasn't a problem as it's the main race for point that matter.
Can't complain as I again got faster at 1;03.13, knocking on the door of a 1;02 lap. Adam even with his low spec engine did a great lap of 1;02.95. The gap is getting closer!
Race 12; Round 6
Now bike sorted all I needed was a good start but my luck ran out as I entered the first hairpin 'Hatchets' when all of a sudden I was launched into orbit. Mura said a guy hit me from behind but what ever happen the result was the same, me lying in a heap in the track. The rest of the racer's did a good job of missing me as I was headed head first into the tarmac whilst my hand took a massive knock against the track.
The next thing I know I'm in the ambulance being checked over. They did a great job and soon let me out to see Lorinda and Liam looking worried.
This wasn't the plan. Now I've lost another 25 points and the result is I'm still just in the lead by two point but after all my hard work winner the first four races I'm gutted.
To add insult to the injury I found out that Adam was lapping at only 1'04 due to a knackered quick shifter.
This leaves the championship wide open so it's everything to play for at the next meet at Mallory on June 5th

text: Entertainment Love and Romance Child Custody Options: When to Consider Split Custody 5 Reasons Split Custody May Be a Beneficial Child Custody Arrangement Share PINTEREST Email Print Love and Romance Divorce Relationships Sexuality Teens LGBTQ Friendship By Debrina Washington Family Law Attorney, Writer University of Pittsburgh School of Law Skidmore College Debrina Washington is a New York-based family law attorney and writer, who runs her own virtual practice to assist single parents with legal issues. our editorial process Debrina Washington Updated February 18, 2017 Split custody, which refers to siblings living in different households, is a difficult arrangement for both parents and children. Generally, the courts prefer for all children to reside with one or both parents because having siblings live together after a separation typically serves the best interests of the children. Here are some reasons why a court may consider a split custody arrangement: 01 of 05 Age and Gender of the Child Hero Images/Hero Images/Getty Images A court may order a split custody arrangement when children reach a certain age, particularly if one child is interested in learning from a parent of the same-sex. 02 of 05 Children Don't Get Along Image Source/DigitalVision/Getty Images Infrequently, a court may order a split custody arrangement when children have a hard time getting along with each other. However, it's not the court's first choice to split children, as courts will prefer for parents and children to attend therapy sessions or mediation. 03 of 05 The Children Prefer Different Schools Imgorthand/E+/Getty Images A court may order a split custody arrangement if a parent relocates and at least one of the children has more educational or social opportunities in the other state. An example of better opportunities might be advanced sporting activities or academic achievements. 04 of 05 The Child's Wishes Hero Images/Hero Images/Getty Images A child may prefer to live with one parent over the other, without regard to where his/her siblings live. In this case, a court of law may comply with the child's wishes and order a split custody arrangement, based on the best interests of the child. 05 of 05 The Financial Responsibilities of the Child's Other Parent Image Source/Image Source/Getty Images A court may consider a split custody arrangement if one parent is financially incapable of caring for multiple children and splitting the custody arrangement would enable children in both households to receive proper care. Prior to ordering split custody, the court would inquire as to how one parent can financially assist the other parent, such as making a consideration of increasing child support payments.

After losing a patient, a junior doctor's night only gets worse as his guilt and tiredness effect his mind in the short film Do No Harm.
Witnessing someone die can be an unforgettable moment for anyone, but for people who work in the medical profession, and seeing people take their last breath on a daily basis must have a serious lasting effect. I'm not speaking from experience, but it must be difficult to switch off once home if you are a doctor or a nurse.
In Sam Blakeney-Edwards new short film Do No Harm, we get to see the effects of losing a patient on an overworked and tired junior doctor called Dr. Bloom (played by Oliver Rednall). Distraught at being unable to save the life of a young woman, through no fault of his own, Bloom begins to hallucinate with visions of the dead, flashing blue lights and shadowy people.
Blakeney-Edwards does a fantastic job with this thirteen-minute film. It looks professional throughout, especially with his stellar editing work (alongside Sean Siegfried) and in Aaron Medway's cinematography. It's easy to tell that both the director and the cinematographer worked hard in making sure that the short film looked as good as it possibly could. The use of camera angles and movement is superbly done and very impressive. Medway had no issue from jumping from the hectic and sterile rooms of a busy hospital to exterior night shots, to the almost nightmarish hallucinations. The shots never got boring, which is admittedly difficult to do.
The score, which is provided by Totul, works very well with the narrative and kind of reminded me of Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, which is a massive compliment.
Javid Malik provided the screenplay for Do No Harm, and if his IMDB page is up to date, it seems that it may have been his first actual produced work, which is astounding seeing that the story and dialogue work so well.
Do No Harm is about to be set upon the festivals and I'm sure it will be well received everywhere it is shown. It's an impressive piece of work.

The Apostle is a religious unit in Civilization VI. It can only be purchased with Faith in a city that has a majority religion and a Holy Site with a Temple (or one of its replacements).
- Attributes:
- Acquire 1 Religious Promotion at the time of purchase.
- Can Engage in (initiate), as well as defend against, Theological Combat.
- Can ignore national borders.
- Abilities:
- Spread Religion (3 charges)
- Evangelize Belief (only possible if your Religion has fewer than 4 Beliefs, consumes Apostle, must still have 3 charges)
- Launch Inquisition (one-time ability for the entire game, consumes Apostle, must still have 3 charges)
Religious Promotions[edit | edit source]
Apostles are also distinct from other religious units in that that they receive special Promotions upon being built. This is a one-time bonus, because the Apostle cannot in fact earn XP in any way, and thus cannot gain levels. The player may choose between three Promotions randomly chosen from the pool. If the player is the Suzerain of the Yerevan City-State, they are free to choose from the entire pool listed below. Also, if the player owns the Mont St. Michel Wonder, all Apostles automatically receive the Martyr Promotion in addition to another one they choose normally. This is retroactive, so existing Apostles will also receive the Promotion.
When using the Governor Moksha's Level 3 title, Patron Saint, Apostles trained in the city that Moksha is assigned to can receive 1 extra promotion when receiving their first promotion. This ability stacks with Mont St. Michel, making this the only way to obtain Level 3 Apostles legitimately in the game. This ability also stacks with the Yerevan Suzerain bonus, allowing the player to freely choose up to 2 promotions from the entire pool listed below.
|Apostle operates as a Medic, providing extra healing to units within 1 tile.
|+20 Religious Strength in Theological Combat.
|Heathen Conversion
|Can convert all adjacent Barbarians to your side by using a religious charge.
|Indulgence Vendor
|Gain 100 Gold if this unit converts a city to your Religion for the first time.
|Relic is created if this Apostle dies in Theological Combat.
|Can spread Religion 2 extra times.
|Gains 3 extra spreads when moving adjacent to a natural wonder for the first time.
|Religious spread eliminates 75% of existing pressure from other Religions in the target city.
|Religious spread is triple strength in cities of other civilizations.*
* This also applies to City-States.
Strategy[edit | edit source]
Apostles are much more expensive than Missionaries, but are much more versatile. They not only complement their Religion by adding new Beliefs to it, but also spearhead its spread by being capable of attacking religious units of other Religions. In fact, the Apostle is the main fighter for a religion, both because of its greater Religious Strength compared to other units, and because of the promotions, which vastly enhance its effectiveness. One of them, Debater, gives him a huge increase in Religious Strength during Theological Combat, turning it into a real tank! Many of the other Promotions help it spread religion much more effectively than the Missionary, or even allow it to act as an early-era healer for your army! Thus, an Apostle is your most important religious unit.
The Apostle is expended upon using the Evangelize Belief action, the Launch Inquisition action, and on using its last charge of Spread Religion. Until then, it may act as a religious warrior, engaging in Theological Combat with religious units of other religions. This combat will diminish its health, destroying the unit when its health reaches zero, so it would be wise to use its other abilities first, before engaging.
Note that in order to use the Evangelize Belief and Launch Inquisition abilities, the Apostle must have at least 3 charges of Spread Religion left. He also needs to be in friendly territory.
The Apostle, like all other religious units, heals at Holy Sites or tiles adjacent to Holy Sites.
If your main goal is to just spread religion, the Apostle can do this three times. However, the Orator promotion, the Mosque Worship Belief, and the Hagia Sophia Wonder all increase this. These bonuses stack, so an Apostle with the Orator promotion built in a city with a Mosque by a civ that has the Hagia Sophia will have an outstanding seven Spread Religion charges.
Civilopedia entry[edit | edit source]
An "apostle" (from Greek, meaning "one who is sent away") is a messenger and ambassador for the chosen deity of a given religion in an attempt to convert the faithless. In Christianity, where the concept is most prevalent, the Twelve were mere disciples before scattering out as ordered by the resurrected Christ to spread his "Word." For Islam, an apostle is a prophet, specifically one sent to teach Allah's truth: Ibrahim (Abraham in the Hebrew bible), Musa (Moses), Dawud (David), Isa (Jesus), and of course Mohammed. These days some churches simply appoint their own apostles; among the Latter-day Saints, for instance, an Apostle is a member of the priesthood with high authority, and in the Bahá'í faith the apostles were designated as such by Shoghi Effendi, the Guardian.

Toward the end of her attention-grabbing cover story of the Atlantic magazine, Kate Bolick shares what she has discovered about the attractions of single life for women. Often single women have networks of close friends. They can balance autonomy and intimacy. They can even raise children.
But then she adds this parenthetical aside: "(Evidence suggests that American children who grow up amidst the disorder that is common to single-parent homes tend to struggle.)" At least she includes some qualifiers. She's talking about American children, not all children. The kids "tend to" struggle; they don't struggle mightily. Still, this sort of casual condemnation of millions of American children is not unusual – not even in an article that is in other ways very thoughtful about single life.
When I was writing Singled Out, I studied original research reports on lives of children from single-parent families and how they differed from those of children raised by two married parents. I continue to keep track of that research. Below is some of what I've learned from that research – conclusions that rarely get any play in the media. (Chapter 9 of Singled Out provides many more details and lots of references.)
- On any particular measure, the vast majority of the children of single parents are doing just fine. For example, in a national survey of substance abuse among more than 22,000 adolescents from many different kinds of households, the rate of substance abuse among the children of single parents was 5.7%. That means that more than 94% of the adolescent children of single mothers did not have substance abuse problems.
- When the children of single mothers have higher rates of certain problems than do the children of married parents, often the difference is very small. In the same substance abuse study, for example, the rate for the children of married parents was 4.5%. If a study such as this one made it into the media, the headlines would probably shout, "Children of single mothers abuse drugs and alcohol." But look at the actual numbers: 5.7% for the children of single mothers, compared to 4.5% for the children of married parents. That's a difference of just a tad more than 1%.
- When children of divorced parents have problems, sometimes those problems started when the parents were still married. For example, researchers who followed the children of married parents for more than a decade, not knowing in advance whether the parents would stay married or divorce, found something very telling. Among those children whose parents did divorce and who had problems, sometimes their difficulties began as early as 12 years before the divorce. They were already "struggling" while their parents were married.
- Some studies of American families find no differences at all between the children of single mothers and the children from other household types. For example, in a nationally representative study of children from different kinds of households (2-parent biological, adoptive, step-father, step-mother, and single-mother), the type of household did not matter. Children's grades, and their relationships with their siblings and their friends, were about the same.
- There are factors that are more likely to put children at risk than living in a single-parent home. An important review of risky families concluded that children become vulnerable if they are raised in families "characterized by conflict and aggression and by relationships that are cold, unsupportive, and neglectful."
- A similar conclusion comes from a study of 39 nations: Children were better off if they were raised by a single mother than by two married parents who were arguing all the time. The children also did better when raised by one divorced parent than by remarried parents.
- There are ways in which the American children of single parents report more positive experiences than the children of married parents. For example, in a study in which 10- to 14-year olds were paged at random times and asked to describe (when they were with someone else) how friendly that other person was to them, the children of single parents described friendlier interactions with their parents than did the children of married parents.
- International research on the children of single parents – which gets little attention in the U.S. – puts American single-parenting in perspective. For example, a study of 5 Asian nations found that in only one of them, Japan, did the children of single parents show a disadvantage in reading skills compared to the children of married parents. In two countries, Hong Kong and Korea, there was little difference, and in two others, Indonesia and Thailand, children of single parents did better. Why? Maybe because extended family members stepped in to help.
- In a study of math and science achievement across 11 countries, the two countries in which the children of single parents were most disadvantaged were the United States and New Zealand. There were no differences between single-parent and married-parent homes in Austria and Iceland. (The in-between countries were Australia, Canada, England, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway and Scotland.) Why the differences? The authors showed that children of single parents were less likely to be disadvantaged "when family policies equalize resources between single- and two-parent families."
- The bottom line was best stated by the authors of the research described in #4: "It is not enough to know that an individual lives within a particular family structure without also knowing what takes place in that structure."
I'm not trying to minimize the challenges of single parenting. But I do want to caution against statements declaring that the children of single parents are doomed. They are not. And as for that supposed "disorder that is common to single-parent homes": Seriously, have you never walked into a married-parent home that was disorderly?

Useful Oregano Benefits
- Oregano Plant – a Familiar Stranger
- Useful Oregano Benefits
- Practical Application of Oregano
Thanks to the amazing adaptability to any climatic conditions on the Russian expanses of this plant can not be found, perhaps, only in the Far North. In July, forest edges and clearings, meadows and even the rocky areas are decorated with scatterings of purple flowers with purple tint origanum vulgaris, exuding a pleasant aroma.
Many gardeners appreciate the "mountain decoration" (so you can translate the Latin name of the herb) for its decorative qualities, whereas the beneficial properties of Oregano are often in the background. And, as it turns out, it is in vain!
Oregano Plant – a Familiar Stranger
Oregano – a great honey plant, and as such it is often cultivated by beekeepers in different parts of the world. But this is not its only advantage.
In many national cuisines made to add oregano leaves mushroom, vegetable and meat dishes, sausage and ham as a spice. It's a good addition to salads and soups.
Tea with the petals of oregano becomes delicate aroma and exquisite taste. Good and homemade cakes with oregano.
Pickles and marinades are better preserved, if they add a few leaves of wonderful plants.
If you put a few sprigs of oregano in the closet, your belongings will be protected from moths pervasive.
Such component as an essential oil of Origanum vulgare used for preparing all kinds of liquors and liqueurs, and in the production of beer kvass, in perfumery, and also in the manufacturing process colognes and soaps.
By the way, the British researchers at the comparison of the effects of oregano oil with two dozen popular antibiotics came to some surprising conclusions. It turned out that the oil is much more powerful – even destroys microbes resist the drugs.
Therefore, the most widely used are the useful properties of oregano in medicine. That, however, is not surprising, because the ground part of the plant impress with their chemical composition. It tannins and pigments, essential oils with phenols, free alcohols, etc. And most importantly -.. Oregano can be safely attributed to the record for the content of much needed for good health Vitamin C.
Useful Oregano Benefits
In Russia, oregano long time have adopted the folk healers. Infusion of herbs successfully treat cough and colds, bronchitis and tuberculosis, sore throat and gum disease, disease of the stomach and liver, female ailments and hypertension. We used oregano as a diaphoretic, expectorant, cholagogue, anthelmintic, analgesic, wound healing, anti-inflammatory, stimulating appetite and nerve sedative.
To save the child from rickets or scrofula, he bathed in the decoction of the flowers and leaves of the forest mint (it is one of the popular names of medicinal plants). These baths are effective enough and various skin rashes, and lotions and compresses of decoctions and infusions are effective for eczema, abscesses, boils.
Freshly prepared broth oregano traditionally "prescribed" in epilepsy, paralysis, convulsions, rheumatism and abdominal pain. They drank it and headaches, insomnia, shortness of breath, washed their wounds. But shampooing decoction or infusion of oregano is not only helps to get rid of migraines, but also significantly accelerates the growth of hair.
Is it any wonder that the oregano benefits could not ignore the attention and official medicine. Preparations of this wonderful herb is prescribed as an adjunct in the treatment.
Practical Application of Oregano
It is natural to assume that at this point you are very interested in how to brew oregano and use it for their own benefit. Everything is quite simple.
To prepare the broth, place in an enamel bowl 2 tablespoons. of dried marjoram, pour a glass of boiling water and heat for 15 minutes in a water bath. The cooled mass of strain, add in the broth of boiled water (up to the initial volume). Is it usually half a cup 2-3 times a day (half an hour before eating). Stored decoction of no more than 2 days in the shade.
To prepare an infusion of oregano, pour boiling water (1 cup) 2 hours of raw, close the container with a lid and allow to stand for about 20 minutes, then strain. Drink warm infusion of half a glass before meals, three times a day.
You do not mind bracing soak in the bath? A glass of dry grass brew 2 liters of boiling water and let stand for about half an hour. Strain the infusion and pour into a bath filled. It is possible to enjoy!
Contraindicated drugs from oregano in pregnancy. There is also an opinion that oregano – grass women and men drink tea and infusions from it to get involved is not necessary. As far as this is to believe – you decide. But caution never hurts.

Let's face it, after a weekend of church, running errands, cleaning,lesson and meal planning, birthday parties and trying to fit in some time to relax and rest, Monday can be a drag. It can be really hard to be motivated to get back into the normal routine; well at least for me and my students. To ease our way back into the school week I have been trying to come up with some ways to help me and my children to actually look forward to Mondays.
I started trying to incorporate more hands on activities and games into our day. As I did so I found that not only were my kids excited about starting the school week but I was also.
Here are some ways that I have gone about changing Monday into a fun day. Read the rest of the post over at --->My Joy Filled Life.

How to Trim Accordion Doors
The versatility of an accordion door gives homeowners the option to install a self-contained door that does not disrupt the floor space on either side of the door. This is especially helpful in small areas to help maintain maximum usable space. One plus of an accordion door is the option to trim the bottom to fit any size door opening. Accurately measure the door opening before cutting the accordion door to ensure the proper fit.
Fabric or Plastic Sheeting Accordion Doors
Measure the length of the accordion door. Subtract the height of the door opening from the length of the accordion door to determine how much to trim from the door.
Place the fabric or plastic sheeting accordion door on a flat surface. Smooth the fabric or plastic sheeting flat, starting at one edge and working across the door.
Measuring from the bottom of the door toward the top, make a mark where you will trim the door. For example, if you are trimming 10 inches off the door, you will measure 10 inches up from the bottom and make a mark there. Continue across the width of the door, spacing the marks about 6 to 8 inches apart. Connect the marks to make a line.
Position a self-healing cutting mat under the accordion door so that the cutting line is centered on the mat.
Place the straight edge of a quilting ruler along the trim line you drew. Position the rotary cutter along the edge of the quilting ruler directly above the line. Press down and into the self-healing cutting mat. Cut along the line until you reach the edge of the cutting mat. Reposition the mat and repeat the process along the bottom of the accordion door.
Wood or PVC Plastic Accordion Doors
Remove the cap on the end of the accordion door track. Slide the accordion panels from the track.
Place the accordion panels on a flat work surface. Measure from the bottom of the door toward the top. Place a mark at the desired distance for trimming on each edge of the panel. Connect the two marks to create a continuous line. Repeat the process with each panel.
Place an accordion panel across two sawhorses. Position the end for cutting so that it extends past the sawhorse by 4 inches.
Set the circular saw blade so that it extends an eighth-inch past the depth of the panel.
Cut the panel along the marked line. Repeat the process with each panel.
Slide the accordion panels onto the top guide. Replace the endcap.
Things Needed
- Tape measure
- Disappearing sewing marker
- Rotary cutter
- Quilting ruler
- Self-healing cutting mat
- Flat-head screwdriver
- Pencil or plumber's chalk
- Sawhorses
- Safety glasses
- Circular saw with fine-tooth blade
- Position a piece of 1 1/2-inch painter's tape along the trim line for a wood or PVC accordion panel to prevent chipping when you cut it.

Failed officials must make amends
The members of Connecticut's General Assembly, having completely failed to perform on the job, should be required to give back at least part of their pay to the public treasury.
For now, at least, we're stuck with them. But if the people of Connecticut remember and do the right thing, we're stuck with them only until the next election.
Connecticut Post columnist MariAn Gail Brown hit it on the head Tuesday when she observed in a page 1 column, "In most occupations other than elective government, job performance counts."
Boy, is that a fact. And these days an ever intensifying one, at that.
Most businesses in Connecticut, as they fight to stay competitive -- or maybe stay alive -- are trying to make themselves more efficient. The fight's not been a pretty one. Just ask the guy put out of work when his employer went under.
As we have said here before, the fundamental function of the governor and the Legislature is to draw the plan for Connecticut's future, to reaffirm, change or adjust priorities and values, and finally, raise and allot the resources to reach those goals.
It's also known as making a budget.
For more than six months this band of procrastinators, including the governor, has posed, pontificated and bloviated in Hartford and has managed to not do the one thing we expect of them.
Is there not a leader on either side of the aisle who has the spine and the understanding to resolve a matter that is turning into a major embarrassment?
It is we, all of us, after all, who sent these people to Hartford as our representatives. As their inability to function becomes a national story, they are us.
All over the state, people are losing jobs for economic reasons. Luxuriating at the public trough, however, carries no such stress.
"These public servants of our have failed," wrote Brown.
So, give us back our money, we say. "As many Connecticut taxpayers have had to adjust to pay cuts for poor company performance," she wrote, "state lawmakers who often claim they feel our pain, now will."
Hear, hear!

Explore the traditions found in your surroundings
Take time to explore the wealth of traditional living around you, in your family, community, school or place of work.
Teaching youth the value of tradition gives them an awareness of self, the people around them and how to understand themselves and others. They become tradition sleuths and gain skills in investigating, researching and using creativity to solve problems. Youth who take time to find out why they do the things they do, or why they react the way they do, will gain a strong sense of self in addition to the ability to set goals that are meaningful to them and their future.
Traditions are activities or objects that are passed from one generation to another. If we start a type of activity, perhaps around a holiday, it can be a tradition in the making. For instance, my family opens presents on Christmas Eve; Christmas Day is usually spent visiting friends and family. This is a family tradition that stems from the beginnings of Christianity in Poland. I also bake a special cookie whose recipe I found in a magazine – everyone expects that cookie on Christmas Day, and I have shared that recipe with family that now bakes it for their extended family and friends at Christmas as well.
My friend in Japan makes a special dish from his seaside village for his family and guests from other countries. In this way, he keeps the recipe he learned from his parents alive by passing it to his children and passing it on to friends to enjoy.
Sometimes what we are interested in becomes tradition. For instance, we may enjoy gardening and plant certain flowers, herbs or vegetables every year. We share that plan with our family, friends and neighbors. In my kitchen, I put things in my cupboards the way my mother had her kitchen laid out. It was not something I did consciously and it is not always convenient. It was only afterward that I realized I could get around my mother's kitchen as well as I got around my own. I never asked her if that was something she did because of her mother's kitchen. It may be a longer tradition that I can document.
Many traditions in the United States are based on the traditions brought here from other countries by our ancestors, such as the Polish Christmas tradition I spoke of earlier. Through the generations, those traditions may have been thinned or made to fit in the American culture or combined with other countries' cultures as people married or moved into multinational neighborhoods and developed interests in folk music from South America, Japanese art, Hawaiian quilting, etc. that put them with people outside their family or neighborhoods, schools and work, making their lives richer.
Look around you and you will find traditions that may be related to cultural backgrounds, family or community.
For more information on learning more about traditions and ways of researching them find the Michigan 4-H publication "Folkpatterns."

Having worked closely with a range of industries, as well as both private and public companies, we bring a deep level of expertise and experience to every engagement, providing the clear, unbiased insight you need.
A business valuation is an independent assessment of the value of your business. The detailed analysis contained in a business valuation provides an indication of the future potential for your company and is an essential element in developing effective strategic plans. An increasing number of circumstances call for a corporate valuation to enable rational and value-driven business decisions. Our chartered business valuators and accredited appraisers are experienced in determining fair values for a variety of tangible and intangible assets.
In support of litigation, we can also quantify the loss to a party arising from loss of sales, price or margin erosion or accelerated entry into a market as a result of infringement on patents or other intellectual property. The specifics of each circumstance are considered and evaluated in the selection of approaches to determine the loss allegedly suffered. We work closely with you and your legal and financial advisors, offering our in-depth expertise during every stage of the process.
We work with public companies on proposed transactions by providing an unbiased opinion as to whether a transaction is fair from a financial point of view. Whether looking at the sale of significant assets, a merger, corporate reorganization or going private, we provide an in-depth analysis of economic and financial considerations prior to reaching a value conclusion.
The subject of a business valuation can pertain to the assets of a company, the issued and outstanding shares of a company or a partial interest in either assets or shares. Valuations of partial interests are commonly a specific class of shareholding (preferred shares) or specific assets (intangible assets, patents).
Our valuation team includes experts that have the qualifications and experience to value tangible assets, including real estate, machinery and equipment. This service complements our business and intangible asset valuation services and offers you a single point of contact for your valuation consulting needs.

No matter where you live, you probably know what it feels like to come up a little short at the end of the month. But would you ever choose to be broke on purpose? Melody and Marcus Wright are doing just that to tackle their $212,000 debt! Melody is still in school working on her PHD, and Marcus is a software engineer. Together, they created a website to help others like them pay down their debt.
A Step-By-Step Guide to Getting Out of Debt
Step 1: Figure Out Your Needs and Wants
"We had to make huge changes. We gave up eating out, coffee, shopping and cable," says Melody. Once you've cut out unnecessary expenses, start tackling your debt.
Step 2: Get a Side Hustle
"One of the fastest ways to pay down your debt is to get a side hustle," says Melody. Don't have a lot of time? Take on smaller jobs like taking online surveys or dog walking. Every dollar adds up!
Step 3: Create a Budget
"It's kind of hard seeing all your money going toward debt, so we like to have a little bit of 'mad money," says Marcus. "Kind of like an allowance each month. With that money, you're able to do whatever you want -- that's your money!" Melody is a self-proclaimed ex-shopaholic, so she created a money envelope system to help her stay on track. At the beginning of each month, divide your "mad money" amongst the envelopes -- you can have an envelope for coffee, getting your nails done, movies, shopping, you name it! But once that money is gone for the month, that's it -- you cannot spend in that category anymore. "It helps you think about your purchases before you make them," says Melody.
Step 4: Tackle Consumer Debt
According to the Wrights', the best way to pay off consumer debt is by tackling the smallest debt first, and pay just the minimum on everything else (don't worry about interest rates here). Every time you pay off one of these debts, that minimum payment will then roll over into the next debt that you tackle.
Step 5: Get Rid of Those Student Loans
Once you've paid off all of your consumer debt, it's time to tackle those student loans. For these, you'll want to tackle the loan with the highest interest rate first. Keep on going until it's all paid off!
Step 6: Celebrate
Celebrate each and every milestone no matter how big or small. "That's what keeps us going, and that's what's going to drive your passion for getting rid of that debt," says Melody.

How do you concentrate on writing when someone continually comes to your office door? I must hear this a dozen times while I'm trying to write, "knock knock, can I interrupt you for a minute? ".
Guess my only recourse is to set my alarm for 2am and write when people sleep. Or I could find a cave (with power & Wi-Fi of course) and become a recluse.
I really need to get my chicken scratch notes typed and submitted.
