Fathers Rights
The term fathers' rights can take on a few different meanings. In the broadest sense, it relates to a movement that pushes for more recognition of the rights of fathers in what is often perceived to be a judicial system that favors mothers in cases of divorce. In a more specific sense, it means the individual rights of a father in a divorce or separation situation. We'll cover both of these issues in this article – the broader movement as well as the actual rights you have as a father if your marriage is splitting up.

Why is the shelf life of sweet love only one to three years?
Love is a flower, and flowers always have a flowering period. It is often heard that the freshness period of love is between one and two years, and that love is the most beautiful during this period. When the love develops into marriage, the freshness period of love starts to change subtly as two people live together, and love is converted into affection.

“Flowers for the Season” is my first fictional novel. My first few years as a writer I wrote a series of health book for those who, like myself, are gluten and dairy free for various reasons.

The Vampire Knitting Club by Nancy Warren
I don’t like vampires. Sure, I watched 'Buffy, the Vampire Slayer', and I watched 'Angel', but that’s more or less where it stops. I was never very interested in Dracula, never watched Twilight, and only watched the Vampire Dearies until I got bored with the cast. So, when I came across The Vampire Knitting Club I scrolled past it without giving the books a second glance. Eugh, more vampires.

Father Value
Family structures can be connected to the idea of a family tree. The structure is based upon who had breed together to create the family that exists as a whole and tends to continue to grow. Family structures can also be defined by the roles or power each individual has in the lineage. Normally the Grandmother and her husband hold the highest power that gets passed down to their children, eldest to youngest, and they pass it down to their children. I’ve learned hierarchy proves nothing other than age being increased, in my opinion of the black families. Much like other populations, we tend to suffer from single-parent households and poverty. I plan to discuss the findings of Patricia Thomas of Duke University on the effects of father presence in black homes.
