Holiday celebrations may be passed down as traditions, as is the case with this distinctly Polish Christmas meal and decor. A tradition is a belief or behavior passed down within a group or society with symbolic meaning or special significance with origins in the past.
Transversal (geometry) In geometry, a transversal is a line that passes through two lines in the same plane at two distinct points. Transversals play a role in establishing whether two other lines in the Euclidean plane are parallel. The intersections of a transversal with two lines create various types of pairs of angles: consecutive interior angles, corresponding angles, and alternate angles.
In naval architecture, a transom is the surface that forms the stern of a vessel. Transoms may be flat or curved and they may be vertical, raked forward, also known as a retroussÃ© or reverse transom, angling forward (toward the bow) from the waterline to the deck, or raked aft, often simply called raked, angling in the other direction.
