Featured Article: Rumspringa

Two Amish girls in traditional attire

Rumspringa, translates from German dialects into English as "jumping or running around." It is a rite of passage during adolescence, used in some Amish communities. The Amish, a sub-sect of the Anabaptist Christian movement, intentionally segregate themselves from other communities as a part of their faith. The rumspringa experience allows teenagers to spend some time to experience life outside their community. It is also a time during which courtship occurs, often leading to the decision to marry. For Amish youth, the Rumspringa normally begins at age 16 and ends when a youth chooses either to be baptized in the Amish church or to leave the community.

-text='''Boudica''' (also '''Boudicca''', '''Boadicea''', '''Buduica''', '''Bonduca''') (d. 60 - 61 C.E.) is a heroine of the Brythonic Celtic Iceni people of Norfolk in Eastern Roman Britain. Upon the death of her husband Prasutagus (ca. 60 C.E.), the Romans first annexed his kingdom and then brutally humiliated Boudica and her daughters, spurring her leadership. She led a major uprising of the Celtic tribes against the occupying forces of the [[Roman Empire]]. Boudica was ultimately defeated at the Battle of Watling Street by the heavily outnumbered forces of Roman provincial governor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus.
