I hate to say it but you simply are not reading the right material; time to do some grown up reading and broaden your horizons beyond the comic strips and tabloids.

I hate to say it, but the ancient Slavs were so behind other civilizations that we can't even find any writings about their pagan religion.

Love / How many Polish men are Violent how much is domestic abuse reported. [129]
I wonder how seriously it’s taken in Northamptonshire. I heard it from a friend who……….. indeed! There were approximately 11,000 incidents of domestic abuse in the county you live in alone in 2010. Given that reported incidents are thought to make up only 35% of actual instances of abuse, this would mean that as many as 31,400 people could have been victims of domestic abuse in Northamptonshire during this time. Now add to that the child abuse cases and the figure is truly astonishing, a real eye opener, and here you are on a crusade to fix a faraway place, laughable! Go hug a tree!
PS. Hint: Your cause is Nobel indeed but please start fixing the place you live in, it has much more impact on your own personal life. Besides one good look at the statistics tells me there’s a much greater need for activists like yourself to be involved in the needs of your own local community, if you truly believe in the Couse that is. Who gives a sh** what they believe in when you can’t see the tree because of the forest you live in.
Most of them seemed to believe it is not taken seriously in Poland. Following a conversation with one lawyer, I would tend to believe this to be true.

Genealogy / THE MEANING AND RESEARCH OF MY POLISH LAST NAME, SURNAME? [4501]
Anything’s possible. Dargiewicz surname originates from Pomorze region of Poland and so I would look to the Kashubian language for its meaning instead of Lithuanian. The root "darga" in Kashubian translates as "road" in its archaic form "dike" often used as a road or a pathway, so (son of dike builder or road builder) sounds good to me.
Hi, could it be Dargevicius? I found 339 names with root darg (lith dargus/dargana means rainy, foul weather).

Genealogy / Skicewicz - Original spelling of last name [6]
If the root of your surname is "Skic" it probably is in its correct and unchanged form. In that group you'll find surnames like (Skic, Skica, Skicaj, Skicak, Skiciak, Skiciński, Skiciuk, Skicki, Skiczak, Skiczek, Skiczewski, Skiczko, Skiczuk, Skiczyński), however no Skicewicz. So if you were looking through some database of surnames and can't find yours, having doubts now it is still possible it remained in its unchanged form however rare it may be and don't let the fact that it doesn't figure on some database of surnames steer you in the wrong direction. The lack of its presents on some list does not necessarily mean that it never existed in that form at some time in the past. Given that the root "Skic" means (someone active, of vigorous or hyper nature) and the suffix "ewicz" (son of) the X-ewicz is "son of X" in English. It all points to its legit unchanged form. There's no "Skciewicz" either but that sounds unnatural to me so I would exclude this possibility. Unless you really find yourself at a dead end in your research I would stick to what you have in front of you and what you know before contemplating any possibility of it ever being changed.

This might be a longshot but there’s a very rare surname “Aubrecht-Prondziński”. Although at first glance it looks like someone’s first and last name I assure you it is not, it’s a legit surname. The first part comes from German name “Albert” the origins of the second part are unknown and baffles the researchers. If your family come to US from what used to be Prussia it might be worth looking into, even if it turns out to be a dead end. Good luck.

Your picture is a LIE!!
This indeed was a belly landing after the crew forgot to lower the landing gear, ruled pilot error but the investigation revealed that there is a design flaw. When you pull the throttles back on a 747 you get a warning horn if the gear is not down. Normal procedure is to pull the gear horn lever to stop the noise but if you never advance the throttles again you will never get another warning.
In 2009, a C-17 also made a gear up landing, pilot error again, the entire crew missed all the warnings at Bagram air base, Afghanistan. There’s a hell of a difference when you’re blissfully unaware of the problem and it’s simply pure luck and no one gets hurt.
