London underground mosquito

The London Underground mosquito (Culex molestus) is a species of mosquito in the genus Culex found in the London Underground, though it has been documented well before the London Underground was built. It is an underground variant of Culex pipiens that has adapted to live underground. During evolution debates, it can be a case for evolution, along with the documentations of E. coli mutations in the Lenski affair, as the mosquito has adapted to an environment starkly different from over the ground to the point it differentiated from Culex pipiens.
The evidence for this mosquito being distinct from C. pipiens comes from research by Kate Byne and Richard Nichols. The two species have very different behaviours such as C. molestus not being required hibernate compared to its overworld,Alan Burdick (2001). "Insect From the Underground — London, England Underground home to different species of mosquitos". Natural History. are extremely difficult to mate as C. molestus mated in closed spaces and through individuals compared to swarms due to nature of underground,"London underground source of new insect forms". The Times. 1998-08-26. and show genetic drift.Katharine Byrne and Richard A Nichols (1999) "Culex pipiens in London Underground tunnels: differentiation between surface and subterranean populations"
Biologists named the London Underground mosquito Culex molestus due to the way it assaulted Londoners sleeping in the Underground during the Blitz, although this name seems to already have been given to a species of mosquito found in Australia, named as long ago as 1775."Culex molestus Forskal, 1775".

Lou Dobbs

Louis Carl Dobbs was a former CNN anchor. He graduated with a degree in economics from Harvard University in 1967, joined CNN in its infancy, and quickly climbed its ranks. Dobbs first started receiving negative scrutiny in the early 2000s by calling the War on Terror a "war against Islamists". His staunchly anti-immigration stance provoked protest by the Hispanic community; despite these views, Dobbs hired illegal immigrants to take care of his daughter's horses.BUSTED: Lou Dobbs Hired Illegal Immigrants To Care For His Horses by Joe Weisenthal (Oct 7, 2010, 5:55 AM) Business Insider.

Louie Giglio

Louie Giglio is a pastor from the Passion City Church in Roswell, a suburb of Atlanta, Georgia (not to be confused with Roswell in New Mexico of UFO fame). Before setting up in Atlanta, Giglio studied in Texas at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and at the evangelical Baylor University.Anti-gay inauguration pastor Louie Giglio has strong Texas ties, Dallas Voice
In 2013, the Obama administration announced that Giglio would deliver the benediction at Obama's second inauguration ceremony. At the previous ceremony, Rick Warren gave the benediction, which caused LGBT rights activists to complain. Well, given Giglio's history, they now have more reason to complain. He was apparently removed from the program the next day.Think Progress:Anti-Gay Pastor Removed From Inaugural Program
== Turn me straight, Pastor Louie! ==
The liberal blog Think Progress uncovered a speech given by Giglio on a website called Discipleship Library containing numerous anti-gay claims, including his belief that gay people can be turned straight through the power of Jesus.

Louis McFadden

Louis Thomas McFadden was a Republican member of the House of Representatives from Pennsylvania who served from 1915 to 1935. He was a far-right populist who is often remembered for two things:
*Creating the McFadden Act, which limited federal branch banks to the city in which the main branch operates.
*Being a batshit crazy anti-Semite who pushed every conspiracy theory he could get his hands on, especially when it had to do with the International Jewish Conspiracy.
==Nuttiness==
Prior to (finally) being voted out of office, he was a staunch opponent of the Federal Reserve because he believed that Jewish banking interests were controlling the Fed.Goldwag, Arthur (2012-09-04). The New Hate: A History of Fear and Loathing on the Populist Right. Random House Digital, Inc. pp. 134–. ISBN 9780307742513 He even said the Fed (and presumably the Jews) had purposely caused the Great Depression. Apparently, he also believed the Roosevelt Administration was controlled by Jews, and he irritated Roosevelt when McFadden didn't want Henry Morgenthau Jr., a Jew, being appointed Secretary of the Treasury.http://www.jta.org/1934/06/28/archive/rep-mcfadden-waves-red-flag-in-renewed-attacks-on-jews 
Because that's not enough, he also accused Wall Street of funding the Russian Revolution.
He also did his best to befriend Nazis, with McFadden repeatedly praising Adolf Hitler and, in turn, the pro-Nazi tabloid Der Stürmer praised McFadden.http://news.google.com/newspapers?id=7UNBAAAAIBAJ&sjid=grcMAAAAIBAJ&pg=6437,1137939&dq=louis-mcfadden+%7C+louis-t-mcfadden+hitler&hl=en McFadden also tried to buddy up with fascist William Dudley Pelley,http://www.jta.org/1934/05/01/archive/anti-semitism-in-house-of-congress leader of the Silver Shirt Society. 
Republicans eventually denounced McFadden as "crazy"http://newspaperarchive.com/kingsport-times/1934-08-27/page-4/ and he lost his seat in 1935 despite running as an incumbent in a heavily Republican district. He briefly tried to run for president on the platform of keeping Jews out of the Republican Party but eventually stopped due to lack of support.
==Death and conspiracy theories==
McFadden (finally) died of heart complications in 1936, but he has become something of a hero to some anti-Semites on the internet. Of course, some anti-Semites think he was poisoned, as do some libertarians who think he was killed for speaking out against the Fed.http://www.examiner.com/article/the-assassination-of-louis-t-mcfadden The more libertarian types tend to gloss over his anti-Semitism. McFadden's legacy lives through his helping of getting the ball rolling on the "Jews control the Fed" conspiracy theory. Interestingly, his vehement anti-Semitism and Third Positionist economics also makes him one of the few American politicians you could justifiably call a strong Nazi-sympathizer.

Love bombing

Love bombing refers to a cult recruitment tactic, in which a cult overwhelms potential recruits with "love", giving the feeling that their emotional and social needs will be met by joining the cult. Cult watchers often included love bombing as one of the features that may identify an organization as a cult.Cults in our Midst. Margaret Singer, 1996. P. 114.
==History of the term==
The term originated with the Children of God,The Children of God The Inside Story By The Daughter Of The Founder, Moses David Berg. Deborah (Linda Berg) Davis with Bill Davis, 1984 and was later adopted by the Unification Church (a.k.a. "the Moonies"). The term has passed into general usage to refer to other cults which employ similar tactics (although most cults themselves never use the term).
As many potential cult members come from broken homes or are socially awkward or sexually frustrated, love bombing is effective in giving them a sense of belonging through identification with and subservience to the cult, and conversely reinforcing their internalized belief that "the world" apart from the cult is a hostile place from which the cult is a haven.
Within the Children of God, love bombing included sexual "free love" practices (which they called "flirty fishing", in reference to the Bible parable of being "fishers of men").prostitution recommendations
==Other uses==
A "love bomb" is a purported weapon that the US military attempted to develop sometime in the 80s or 90s as a relatively "peaceful" way of disorientating or demoralising enemy troops. The bomb was intended to contain a collection of pheromones and other chemicals designed to make the enemy soldiers incredibly horny, and thus turn gay, preferably on each other.Seriously, the "US military pondered love not war".
Love bombing is a psychological technique often used by domestic abusers, including psychopaths, sociopaths, and narcissists at the start of relationships.https://scholarworks.uark.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1000&context=hdfsrsuht Whether the abuse is physical, verbal or merely psychological, the abusers will all too frequently resume the love bombing when their partner begins to show signs of planning to leave. Abusive parents will also use this tactic when they fear their children moving away and ceasing to take care of them.

Lucas Werner

Lucas Werner, also known as Olympiaatheist, hails from Spokane, Washington. He operates a website called Conversation Our Age, which advocates the view that men mature much slower than women, so that a 35-year-old man is the equivalent of a girl in her mid-teens.
Conversation Our Age is written in a style reminiscent of Time Cube and features a combination of pseudoscientific theorizing with just plain word salad, along with pictures that obscure parts of the text from view. Werner uses the fact that telomeres get shorter with age to argue that the best babies are produced by older men with younger women. His view that men under 35 are "larval" and that the age of consent for men should be 35 is just plain bizarre. So, too, is his claim that his own semen possesses anti-aging properties derived from telomerase, which is why women should give him "blow jobs and anal".Spokane, Washington's Most Single Man Pharyngula Although, a woman of his preferred age (under 20) probably wouldn't be interested in anti-aging products anyway.
Werner has also promoted the same views on other social media. In real life, he made national news for being banned from Starbucks after hitting on a teenage barista. Since the age of consent in Washington is 16 and the barista was at least that age, Werner claimed he had been discriminated against because of his age and threatened to sue.Lucas Werner, 37, ejected from Spokane Starbucks after asking teenage barista for a date by Rachel Alexander (Monday, Jan. 2, 2017, 3:10 P.M.)

Lucid dream

A lucid dream occurs when a dreamer realises that they're dreaming and can begin to control the dream. The term was coined by a Dutch psychologist in 1913,A Study of Dreams but scientific inquiry into this phenomenon did not seriously start until much later. In 1968, the writer Celia Green began to analyze the characteristics of such dreams. In the early 1980s, sleep researchers Keith Hearne and Stephen LaBerge independently discovered a method for lucid dreamers to signal their state to observers, proving their awareness during what's supposed to be a sleep phase.Susan Blackmore: Lucid Dreaming: Awake in Your Sleep?, Skeptical Inquirer 15 (1991) While the phenomenon has been established as real and is being studied as a valid field of sleep research, some New Agers have taken this as a starting point to make wild and unsubstantiated claims about the nature of consciousness, and that it might even be key to unlocking parapsychological powers.The Skeptic's Dictionary: Lucid DreamingSee here for a random example of this.
==Woo!==
Of course, dreams have no predictive ability beyond the normal amount of chance and shoehorning ability of the dreamer, so dream away — just seriously make sure you really are dreaming before you do something dangerous (a good non-dangerous test is to see if you can hover/flyDo not test this by jumping off a high ledge! or phase your hand through objects). While this method has its uses as a stopgap measure until we've got a working holodeck and may even offer some of the benefits of meditation, it's important to note that there's no evidence whatsoever that you can use it to unlock any secret powers hidden in your subconsciousness. Flying and such may work while within the dream, but nobody should expect to gain special powers in real life.

Luck

Luck is an abstract concept, based on incorrect assumptions about probability. It is a superstition and effectively a belief in a supernatural force that makes random events "favor" those who benefit from such events. 
It is very often characterized, objectified, and personified, even if not attributed to any deity. Luck may 'favor' an individual, or luck may turn into a quality or even just a force that a person may possess. Some people attempt to improve their luck by being in possession of so-called "lucky charms", essentially a physical object that when worn, rubbed, or brandished is believed to help influence a favorable outcome. These objects can be anything the believer can come up with: a rabbit's foot, a frequently worn pair of underwear, a penny, a particular team's towel (when you want to affect the outcome of a sporting event in the particular team's favor), or anything that can easily held or carried.Goats are notoriously difficult to carry around. Luck is often said to 'turn' or change its allegiance when an unexpected outcome occurs, regardless of the circumstances. 
Despite a lack of modern widespread belief in polytheistic deities like Fortuna (Roman) or Tyche (Greek), a 'Lady Luck' is referred to fairly commonly even in modern day, even by monotheists.

Ludwig Feuerbach

Ludwig Andreas Feuerbach (1804-1872) was a German philosopher and a member of the philosophical school of thought known as the Young Hegelians, followers of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel. However, he would later go on to turn against Hegel's philosophy. Feuerbach was a proponent of atheism and materialism. His best known work is The Essence of Christianity, which argued that god was simply the projection of the human mind. The works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Engels were heavily influenced by Feuerbach.
