'My own mother grassed me up': Embarrassing parents Steve Peake, 50 I started to skip school when I was a teenager so I could indulge my passion for climbing. I'd miss the morning bell, hitch to Wales and be off. My mum was not in the least impressed with my waning interest in O-levels, and as for the passion - well, she just saw that as pointless. One night, I mentioned casually that I might solo the Birmingham Post Office tower for a laugh. In 1978, building-climbing was pretty rare and was beginning to be used as a political tool, which irritated me. I was about a third of the way up when, looking down, I spotted this lone figure. An officer gently pulled me over the top rail, shook my hand and greeted me with the words: "You realise you are in trouble?" Sarah Dow, 31 I remember being at a parents' evening in the sixth form. This would have worked if Dad was a heart surgeon or leader of the free world, but he was a sausage sales rep, and everyone knew it because our "family car" was his white van - which had a big red pig on the side.

It would give them lot of practice in working the stitches while making something useful. For the free pattern Click Here Tired of killing, tribe resorts to old traditions - Technology & science - Science - LiveScience The Enga people of Papua New Guinea have long been used to a culture where small-scale wars were common, short-lived and ended in peaceful relations between clans. But in 1990, the younger generation ditched their bows and arrows for shotguns and semiautomatics, and the Enga experienced 20 years of runaway violence that claimed nearly 5,000 lives. Now, research shows that clan elders have restored peace by using their traditional tribal court system. As a result of the state-sanctioned system, relatively few wars took place in 2010 and 2011, and the death toll per war has dropped dramatically. The results suggest complex societies don't always evolve from simpler societies that are much more violent, as some psychologists and anthropologists contend, researchers said. "These simple face-to-face societies have very effective means of making peace," said study leader Polly Wiessner, an anthropologist at the University of Utah. Escalating wars There are currently 400,000 to 500,000 Engas.

Meet the 2012 Common Ground Awardees: Peace Child International « The Common Ground Blog “First Inform Yourself – then Take Action.” – Peace Child International Slogan Peace Child’s name comes from a Papua New Guinea tradition in which warring tribes would exchange a child in a symbolic gesture to make peace. The children would grow up as members of the others’ tribe and, when conflict threatened again in the future, the ‘Peace Child’ from each tribe was sent to negotiate a sustained peace. Founded in 1981, Peace Child International began its journey during the Cold War era, working with young people to produce a musical performance to express their wish to end the nuclear stand-off between the USA and the USSR. Peace Child premiered in the U.S. at the Kennedy Center in December 1982, co-produced by Search for Common Ground, with a chorus of children, local theatre and gospel stars, and spectacular choreography created by Washington’s School of Performing Arts. Peace Child International operates from its international headquarters in Buntingford, England. Ambassador J.
