More than three years after moving from
Australia to this remote part of England, we are still learning how things are
done here. Not too long after we arrived and unpacked, we were invited for "a drink on Sunday morning" by a retired couple nearby. We got there about noon, to find the living-room crowded—lots of chat and discussions, and on all a very jolly occasion. Trouble was, there was no food—no self-respecting Australian would regard a tray of crisps as food. In Sydney, when you are invited for a drink any time after midday on a Sunday, you know you will be fed as well as watered and you plan accordingly. Meaning the hard-worked little woman makes no plans to cook lunch because you are eating out. By one-fifteen my stomach was sending up "please explain" to me. Even the crisps had gone.

More Than Just Money When Patricia Rochester decided to go back to school after ten years as a staff nurse at Toronto Western Hospital, her employer not only cheered her on but also paid her tuition and gave her a day off with pay every week to study.

For more than five thousand years Chinese doctors have used
needles to fight illness. This kind of medicine is called acupuncture. The

person’s body at the right places for his illness. Chinese doctors believe that
they can control the body’s natural forces in this way. At first, doctors in the
West thought that this was just another kind of magic. Recently, however, they
have found out that it is possible to cure many illnesses like this because the
needles help the body to produce its own "medicines". In this way the body cures
itself.
