EDUCATION IN THE KITCHEN

MATH Baking is a numbers game. Just take a look at any recipe, and you’ll recognize the importance of math in building a beautiful cake. Having children measure out ingredients helps them learn about fractions and ratios. You can also test your kids by doubling or halving a recipe for multiplication and division practice.With older kids, practice unit conversions by asking, for example, how many pints are in half a gallon.

If you are arrested, one of your first priorities should be hiring a criminal defense attorney who can help you get a fair bail amount.

Having a lawyer working on your case can help you secure the lowest possible bail. Sometimes you can be released on your own recognizance, which means that you promise to return to your court hearing without paying any bail. If you are arrested, you should contact an attorney about getting out of jail as soon as possible.

Within a reasonable time of your arrest, you will be taken before a magistrate and your bail will be set. Bail can be money or a piece of property that has a cash value, given to the court in exchange for your release and promise to return to court for your hearing or trial. The amount of bail necessary to secure your release usually depends on the severity of the crime, whether you have a criminal record, and how long you’ve lived in the area.
