Lafayette Ronald Hubbard (13 March 1911 – 24 January 1986), better known as L. Ron Hubbard, was an American science fiction writer, and creator of Dianetics and founder of the Church of Scientology.
Hubbard was a highly controversial public figure during his lifetime. Many details of his life remain disputed; official Scientology biographies present Hubbard as "larger than life, attracted to people, liked by people, dynamic, charismatic and immensely capable in a dozen fields," while independent articles and biographies of Hubbard and accounts by some former Scientologists paint a much less flattering, and often sinister, picture. In many cases they flatly contradict the biographical accounts presented by the Church of Scientology.

Mircea Eliade (March 13


1907 – April 22, 1986) was a Romanian historian of religion, fiction writer, philosopher, and professor at the University of Chicago. He was a leading interpreter of religious experience, who established paradigms in religious studies that persist to this day. His theory that hierophanies form the basis of religion, splitting the human experience of reality into sacred and profane space and time, has proved influential. One of his most influential contributions to religious studies was his theory of Eternal Return, which holds that myths and rituals do not simply commemorate hierophanies, but, at least to the minds of the religious, actually participate in them. In academia, the Eternal Return has become one of the most widely accepted ways of understanding the pur...

Hugo Wolf (March 13, 1860 – February 22, 1903) was an Austrian composer of Slovene origin, particularly noted for his art songs, or Lieder. He brought to this form a concentrated expressive intensity which was unique in late Romantic music, somewhat related to that of the Second Viennese School in concision but utterly unrelated in technique.

he died of syphilis.

Joseph Priestley (13 March 1733 (Old Style) – 6 February 1804) was an 18th-century English theologian, Dissenting clergyman, natural philosopher, educator, and political theorist who published over 150 works. He is usually credited with the discovery of oxygen, having isolated it in its gaseous state, although Carl Wilhelm Scheele and Antoine Lavoisier also have a claim to the discovery.
During his lifetime, Priestley's considerable scientific reputation rested on his invention of soda water, his writings on electricity, and his discovery of several "airs" (gases), the most famous being what Priestley


dubbed "dephlogisticated air" (oxygen). However, Priestley's determination to defend phlogiston theory and to reject what would become the Chemical Revolution eventually left him isolated ...

New York (CNN) The last time Sayfullo Saipov talked to Makhina Kadirova he was working his way toward the American dream.

It had been one year since Saipov left Uzbekistan and came to the United States on a diversity visa. He reached out to Kadirova on social media in 2011. She was a former classmate of his from early elementary school through ninth grade, also living in America.

"He was happy that he was here, he had a family here, and he was a truck driver and his business was really good," Kadirova says.

Kadirova remembers meeting Saipov as a 5-year-old. He was quiet. Calm, even. As they grew up together and until they were about 16 years old in their ninth-grade class in private school, he was active and "didn'tsay they saw no warning signs of Saipov being radicalized.

Maybe an occasional outburst. A bit of a hothead. A little bit secretive here and there.

But no indication he would ever carefully plan a terror attack in the name of ISIS.

"I don't remember him being aggressive, or having bad attitude with others. Overall, I remember him positive," Kadirova says. "Whatever happened, that happened after he moved to USA. When I saw him on news, I couldn't believe that it [was him.] I hardly recognized him."

A 'peaceful' upbringing

Saipov lived and attended private school in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, before coming to United States.

Saipov grew up in Uzbekistan's capital city of Tashkent, living with his parents until 2006. He lived in an apartment there with his three sisters, neighbors say. Saipov's family is


remembered fondly.

"They were known as a normal, secular and peaceful family," one neighbor in town says. "No radical religious views, or at least they didn't show any."

They were "a good family," a resident who used to live across the hall says. Both residents say after 2006, the family bought a private home, which they thought meant the family was financiall well off.

The young man never provoked suspicions, neighbors say. They told authorities he kept a low profile and was friendly, according to an e-mail from the Uzbekistan Embassy.

His parents preached traditional Islam, according to the Uzbeki government. Neighbors say they didn't attend mosque and were secular. And nobody in town noticed any communication with extremist groups.

Residents in town are now concerned that the stigma of Saipov will somehowconnect them to the incident. They don't want to say much. Police and security services have swarmed the area.

Aggression, a family and a disappearance

Saipov began to put down roots of his own in Stow, Ohio, after arriving in the United States on the diversity visa.

The suburb just north of Akron, Ohio, is where he would start his first business and eventually get married. Mirrakhmat Muminov remembers the first time he saw Saipov in the town where about 30 other Uzbek families lived.

But Muminov says Saipov lived a bit removed from the town's Uzbek community.

Both men were in the trucking industry. Saipov registered his company Sayf Motors Inc. in Ohio in 2011. And at one point he worked for Muminov as a truck driver. It was only for a


couple of months.

"He was fired because of [a] customer quality issue," Muminov says. "Someone complained about him."

While Muminov says there were some disagreements between Saipov and the community, he made at least one meaningful connection in town. In 2013, he married a fellow Uzbek also from his hometown of Tashkent. He was 25. Nozima Odilova was 19. They were married in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The marriage license listed him as a truck driver.

Saipov registered a motor carrier business, Bright Auto LLC, in Ohio that same year.

Saipov's three years in Ohio would be relatively mundane. But he certainly left an impression on Muminov, who describes himself as an employer and acquaintance of Saipov.

There was something a little off about him, Muminov says.

He was an "aggressive man." Some bad habits.He seemed nervous. Small things seemed to nag at him a bit deeper. Saipov could yell at people for no reason, Muminov says.

It was as if Saipov was always "swimming against the rules."

"I can describe him like this nervous, young man with some monsters maybe inside his mind," Muminov says.

He never showed signs of radicalization, Muminov says.

There were rumblings about financial trouble and elements of depression, he told Radio Free Europe.

Saipov's time in Stow ended quickly. He moved in a rush, Muminov says. There was no goodbye.

"He just take everything in one day and he disappear. He didn't say a word."

A man of few words

Sayfullo Saipov lived in this apartment complex in Tampa, Florida, before moving to New Jersey.

Saipov made his way south, eventually ending up living with


his wife and three kids in an apartment complex in Tampa, Florida.

He and his family mostly kept to themselves, neighbors say. A 59-year-old Egyptian woman says Saipov's wife wore a niqab, a traditional Muslim veil that left only her eyes showing.

The only words she ever exchanged with Saipov were to say "Salam-Alaikum," wishing each other a good morning.

It wasn't out of the ordinary, she says. Most people here kept to themselves. And many didn't stay for too long.

The family didn't socialize often. Neighbor Melissa Mathews has lived in the complex three years and only saw them socialize once. There was a barbecue on Saipov's back patio. Saipov's young children sometimes played in the community pool.

Saipov seemed to have regular hours -- as if he had a job, Mathewssays.

It is unclear how much of Saipov's time was on the road as a trucker. But he began racking up traffic violations. He already had a ticket from December 2011 in Iowa for not keeping his commercial driving log up to date. In April 2014, he was cited for missing a reflective device on the rear of his tractor-trailer cab, cracks on his windshield and oil on the front of his car hauler.

Then in December 2015, he was ticketed for an equipment violation in Missouri. His tractor-trailer had cracks in the brake lining, according to a statement obtained by CNN affiliate KMBC . He had the option of paying a $129.50 fine for the offense. Or he could tell officials he wanted to plead not guilty. He did


neither, the prosecutor said. So a warrant was issued for his arrest. He was taken into custody in Missouri in 2016 and posted a $200 bond.

Saipov's Tampa neighbors say he left town suddenly.

One day the family was just gone, Mathews says.

The alleged plot comes into focus

The last known move Saipov and his family made was north to New Jersey about a year and half ago.

In just a few months, he would become inspired to carry out a deadly attack in the United States, authorities allege. Saipov watched ISIS videos on his cellphone, according to court documents.

At the same time, he was establishing himself inhis Paterson, New Jersey, neighborhood.

One neighbor even viewed him as somewhat of a peacemaker, though he didn't extensively interact with him.

Carlos Batista was riding his dirt bike in the neighborhood about six months ago.

Saipov's friends complained it was too loud and things got a little testy. But Saipov stepped in and "calmed everything down," Batista says.

While living in Paterson, Saipov began driving for Uber. He passed his last background check for the company in July 2017. There are no reports of any complaints from customers, the company says.

It was about one month later that Saipov made the decision to use a truck in the attack, authorities say.

Authorities say Saipov, in a hospital bed after being shot by police, shared details of what he did in the month leading


up to the attack.

They say he told them he chose a truck as his weapon to "inflict maximum damage." He said he was motivated in particular by a video in which ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi asked what Muslims in America and around the world were doing to respond to Muslims being killed in Iraq, court records state.

Saipov began narrowing in on the specifics of the attack in early October. His internet searches focused on details about Halloween in New York and truck rentals, according to court documents.

Nine days before the attack, Saipov told authorities he rented a truck "so he could practice making turns with the truckin advance of the attack."

Neighbors in Paterson had no reason to question the Home Depot truck in the community, even though they never saw it being used with tools or for any work.

The day of the attack, Saipov traveled to a Home Depot and rented a truck under his name for two hours. He never intended to bring it back, according to court documents. He thought about displaying ISIS flags on the truck, but decided against it, so it didn't attract attention. His plan was to drive the truck into pedestrians on the West Side Highway, and continue all the way to the Brooklyn Bridge, according to court documents.

Saipov killed eight people and injured more than a dozen in the process, police said. The attack ended when the


truck crashed into a school bus.

Witnesses said the driver exited the truck yelling "Allahu Akbar." He carried a paintball gun and a pellet gun, police said, and left behind a bag of knives and a handwritten note in Arabic stating that the Islamic State would endure. Saipov was shot by police and taken to the hospital.

Authorities say they found a trove of videos and pictures related to ISIS on Saipov's phone: 90 videos full of propaganda, beheadings, instructions on explosives and about 3,800 images, including the ISIS flag and images of the ISIS leader.

On Tuesday, from his hospital bed, Saipov seemed to show no remorse, authorities said.

He asked to display an ISIS flag in his hospital room, court documents show.

On Wednesday he was wheeled into a federal courtroomto face the charges against him: providing material support to a terrorist organization and violence and destruction of motor vehicles. He entered no plea.

Meanwhile, friends and relatives were baffled by what they've learned.

Saipov's mother-in-law lives in a Brooklyn neighborhood that's home to Uzbek immigrants. When approached in the lobby of her apartment building on Tuesday, she said she was in shock.

"I don't know what happened," she said.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Top budget officials in crisis-hit San Bernardino, California, are quitting the city at a crucial juncture in its quest to seek bankruptcy protection.

A rush to the doors in San Bernardino city hall threatens the city's ability to qualify for Chapter 9 bankruptcy protection by robbing it of the people with the experience to answer questions from the court and creditors. If those questions are not answered, the judge could deny bankruptcy protection, experts say.

San Bernardino's interim city manager Andrea Travis-Miller has quit and will start a new job on February 19.

The city's finance chief Jason Simpson is also expected to leave soon, a source inside the city said. The city's head of human resources has also quit,

Michigan is known for its automobile production. In fact, General Motors (GM), Ford and Chrysler – three of the top American carmakers – are all headquartered in Michigan. Although the prospering automobile industry has generated vital jobs and revenue for Michigan, it has also exposed thousands of factory workers, mechanics and other auto industry workers to dangerous levels of asbestos.

Michigan currently is ranked #10 in the US for deaths related to asbestos and mesothelioma.

Due to asbestos’ natural resistance to heat and friction, it was considered an ideal material for various automotive parts, including (but not limited to):

Brake pads

Gaskets

Lining

Exhaust systems

Clutches

During the manufacture of these products and the assembly of vehicles that were built with them, the asbestos fibers were often abraded or chipped, creating a tiny dust


are five areas in this state that contain natural deposits of asbestos. They are in the areas of Iron Mountain, Negaunee, Marquette, Niagara and Norway. Also, large amounts of ore containing asbestos fibers was brought into Michigan to be processed.

The Michigan Department of Community Health reports that the WR Grace Company in Libby MT sent 163,000 tons of contaminated ore to Michigan to be processed for its many auto plants. According to Michigan’s Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, people in seven Michigan cities processed vermiculite asbestos ore from 1948 until 1989.

Grace had to file for bankruptcy in 2001 because it was facing more than 200,000 asbestos lawsuits. However, the company is still able to produce $2 billion in revenue annually.

The anime Light was special. He was a worthy opponent for the detective, L. The metaphorical chess duel between the two, which anchored the anime, was extremely smart writing. There were subplots on subplots which showed L chipping away at the problem constantly with Light throwing every obstacle that he could in L’s way.

In comparison, the film’s Light is pedestrian. There is not even the semblance of a duel between the two and L manages to pinpoint Light with just a couple of moves. L has thankfully been given a meaty backstory and is played well by Lakeith

There is also the injustice done to Ryuk, the death god. Willem Dafoe portrays him well, but the film uses him just as an oddity — a thing to make the posters catchy and to inject a little horror. The anime Ryuk was never that. He had his own role in the story and was more relatable than perhaps any of the other characters.

Finally Mia, Light’s love interest, is the worst character of them all. There is rarely any reason to her actions and while at times her psychotic side is entertaining to watch, the screen time she takes up could have been used for so much more.

Story arc and plot holes

TheBut Death Note was never about the action. The action was just the by-product of the larger battle at play as Light sought to impose his vision on to the world. Wingard either forgot or chose to ignore that bit and simply sought to make an action film with a bit of romance thrown in. In doing so, he made Death Note into just another film instead of the masterpiece it could have been.

And this is a tragedy, because the film will be most people’s first and only interaction with the Death Note universe. It will completely ruin the story for them and it is doubtful if they will watch the anime after the movie. And this would be a tragic loss, because it is a truly great

Senator Casey Cagle proposes legislation that could change the way public schools are funded. In an effort to relieve the tax burden of property owners, this legislation would allow more options for local school districts in generating revenue. Lawmakers Chrissy Thrasher has that story.

Governor Sonny Perdue receives an award from Weight Watchers spokeswoman Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York. The award is in recognition of the Governor's Fitness Challenge during the 2003 General Assembly session.

In his State of the State address last week, Governor Perdue spoke
of protecting media outlets from lawsuits in connection with broadcasts

Our two-part serieshad to be staffed, funded, and in some cases, directly spun off from government agencies. The Internet is sometimes compared to the interstate highway system, another major public project. But as the legal activist Nathan Newman points out, the comparison only makes sense if the government “had first imagined the possibility of cars, subsidized the invention of the auto industry, funded the technology of concrete and tar, and built the whole initial system.” The Cold War provided the pretext for this ambitious undertaking. Nothing loosened the purse strings of American politicians quite like the fear of falling behind the Soviet Union. This fear spiked sharply in 1957, when the Soviets put the first satellite into space. The Sputnik launch produced a genuine sense of crisis in the American


its computing resources more efficiently among its contractors: it built a network. This network was ARPANET, and it laid the foundation for the Internet. ARPANET linked computers through an experimental technology called packet-switching, which involved breaking messages down into small chunks called “packets,” routing them through a maze of switches, and reassembling them on the other end. Today, this is the mechanism that moves data across the Internet, but at the time, the telecom industry considered it absurdly impractical. Years earlier, the Air Force had tried to persuade AT&T to build such a network, without success. ARPA even offered ARPANET to AT&T after it was up and running, preferring to buy time on the network instead of managing it themselves. Given the chance to acquire the most sophisticatedon each other’s work without living in fear of intellectual property law. The most important innovation that resulted was the Internet protocols, which first emerged in the mid 1970s. These protocols made it possible for ARPANET to evolve into the Internet, by providing a common language that let very different networks talk to one another. The open and nonproprietary nature of the Internet greatly enhanced its usefulness. It promised a single interoperable standard for digital communication: a universal medium, rather than a patchwork of incompatible commercial dialects. Promoted by ARPA and embraced by researchers, the Internet grew quickly. Its popularity soon led scientists from outside the military and ARPA’s select circle of contractors to demand access. In response, the National Science Foundation (NSF) undertook a series of initiatives


money off the Internet for decades, both as contractors and as beneficiaries of software, hardware, infrastructure, and engineering talent developed with public funds. The AUP may have been a legal fiction, but it did have an effect. By formally excluding commercial activity, it spawned a parallel system of private networks. By the early 1990s, a variety of commercial providers had sprung up across the country, offering digital services with no restrictions on the kind of traffic they would carry. Most of these networks traced their origins to government funding, and enlisted ARPA veterans for their technical expertise. But whatever their advantages, the commercial networks were prohibited by the AUP from connecting to the Internet, which inevitably limited their value. The Internet had thrived under public ownership, but itbut then seeks to remove the very individuality that attracted them. On his previous album "Severed From The Land" and on this new one Daniel is able to fuse a sense of the ancient with a desire to progress. His music brings together traditional melodies, folk song and interest in landscape supported by electronic and drone instrumentation that produces a new music, beyond folk or ambient and into personal exploration. He is forming "The Rough Ensemble" to play his pieces live later this year which will be essential to see.

This is the kind of new ethnic music for imagined places that Brian Eno and Jon Hassell thought about. However the location of recording is East Lothian and the imagined place is the British landscape with the untold history


and myths sitting within. It transcends any sense of the pseudo-archaic and instead produces a radical, authentic sometimes bawdy musical tapestry that evokes the landscape and our existence upon it. Daniel is only twenty four but is able to bring forward a sense of continuity, community and experience over ages in music entirely created by him which is both welcome and astonishing.

We start with "Northern" which combines hovering swirls of droning electronics, violins and finger clicks creating a positively vibrant opening swell of music. He then begins to intone in his dry northern English accent about the land and place. "those clear summer days, the first after the rain has gone, you can see for miles…." and "looking so precisely modelled, carefully contoured like there was some definiteGrahl speaking with Daniel and others about the South Queensferry leaf-costumed "green" man known as The Burryman covered in spikey burrs. Here the music is softer, accordion and violin woven into melodic repetitious electronics. Duncan speaks in his broad accent about the burryman going in the pubs and factories taking a drink. It's a relaxed dialogue over the music with lots of joking and laughs amongst those present. The listener feels as though they are sat in the pub, a fire roaring listening to this impromptu communal tale. Then Duncan talks about "Lammas" time, the time of change into harvest which connects to our own "Lammas Night Laments" music series nicely. "The Burryman is a hero… the children of the village are all scared to look at the


Burryman, they just peek through their hands you know…." As the song progresses and the Burryman moves towards his duties the music grows with the calls and invocations of the group to encourage him on.

Our third piece is "Make Hay!" an instrumental that combines analogue synthesizers sounding like early Kraftwerk before their robotic phase and combining this with a haunting folk refrain. As it evolves the piece takes on a filmic quality as though Ennio Morricone was working with Ashley Hutchings. On pieces such as this, Daniel's music works as "circles" of repeating and evolving phrases. Their simplicity working as a strength allowing the central melodies to embed themselves into the listeners mind. We are soon then into "Clock House" which continues from the last track as aninstrumental but this time more pensively with delicate guitar melodies over rumbling bass guitar and the accordion/violin drone.

After the subdued quality of the previous track the next arrives like a breath of clear early morning air, intoxicating and mixed to sound huge with banks of sustained keyboards and a bright melody. Daniel speaks his intro "they lived down here and they moved on" at the start of the track, "Channelkirk and the Surrounding Area". His voice is hypnotic and full of small laconic inflections, I could listen all day. This piece is quite amazing in it’s beauty, uncompromising, genuinely mysterious and raw. This is where the hope for the music industry lays, at the heart of this music which fuses the old and that yet to come.

"Rough Music"


starts with a moody, mysterious minor air and the lyrics more strident "well if I was minded about these guys, mind I'd like to see the bastards locked up". It feels like a manifesto, a statement of rejection and defiance to targets unknown. The spoken refrain of "Ridin' the Stang" seeming both a promise and threat as it is menacingly intoned.

"Over and Over" continues the moody instrumental quality at first before an electric violin and guitar come in with a lighter melody, lifting the piece but retaining the tension. Surging layers of synthesizer weave into the music taking it from the land to an almost cosmic level of exploration, music that is beyond influences and into new realms of its own. It is clear as we listen thatCode Orange Kids' 'My Body Is A Well': Unhinged Hardcore Captured Live

Nepal's rival political parties have reached agreement on a new constitution that will divide the country into eight provinces, ending years of deadlock, according to a minister.

The deal on Tuesday came weeks after an earthquake that killed thousands and devastated the country, adding to the pressure on politicians to end the stalemate.

Legislators have missed a series of deadlines to draft a new national charter following a decade-long Maoist rebellion that left an estimated 16,000 people dead and brought down the monarchy.

Minendra Rijal, the information minister, said the agreement was a "major breakthrough".

A grease fitting located on the exterior of the central body of the cross member communicates directly with the internal cavity for suppling lubrication into the four passages. Thus, lubrication grease forced into the internal cavity via the grease fitting must travel through the passages to reach the needle bearings.
After a universal joint has been subjected to rotary motion for a period of time, the temperature of the grease will have risen, and the grease will tend to flow freely as a low viscosity liquid. In a typical driveline, the cross member rotates in a generally vertical plane. Upon stopping the joint, unless checked by valves the liquid grease will drain, from one or two of the bearing cups arrested in upper positions,

Several attempted solutions have involved the use of "standpipe" devices, wherein one end of a tubular structure extends into the lubrication passage of each trunnion, the other end extending into a reservoir in the trunnion end. The intent is to capture or trap a certain amount of lubrication in the reservoir during idle periods. A major problem in the use of such devices relates to sufficient sealing of the standpipe member in the trunnion lubrication passage under typical tolerance variations, and particularly at elevated temperatures.

Published: December 11, 2006

ABC released a few revisions to its early 2007 schedule. Nothing really out of the ordinary unless you read between the lines. When you do, it sounds like deja vu and very bad news for fans of Taye Diggs and Day Break.

Day Break first aired on November 15, 2006 on ABC after months of network promotion. The series debut took the place of the very popular Lost series after its “Fall finale” the week before. Day Break tells the story of Detective Brett Hopper (Taye Diggs) who, to put it mildly, is having a very bad day. He’s accused of killing Assistant District Attorney Alberto Garza. When no one believes his alibi and Hopper realizes that he’s been


framed, he runs but stops when he learns that his loved ones are also in danger. The next morning, Hopper wakes up and starts to relive the same day over again. This pattern continues and Hopper retains the memories of the “previous” day each time. To stop the cycle, he must solve the mystery and uncover the identity of who framed him. Day Break also stars Victoria Pratt, Adam Baldwin, Meta Golding and Ramon Rodriguez. ABC ordered 13 episodes of the series and the storyline was intended to conclude by the end of the first season.

The highly promoted two-hour debut of Day Break debuted to stiff competition — up against regular episodes of CBS’ popular Criminal Minds and CSI: NY and the third season premiere of NBC’s Medium.outside, The Club which hosts art exhibitions and drag shows, and Facciola, a lesbian-owned and operated wine bar in Kreuzberg popular for its pop-up Cabaret Opera nights. Also worth checking out is the monument to the LGBT victims of the Holocaust and the world’s first queer museum, the Schwules Museum—not to mention all the other history in Berlin.

MANCHESTER, ENGLAND

Manchester, the UK’s second largest city, is well known for being a gay-friendly destination, especially after the popular TV series Queer as Folk famously filmed there in the ’90s. The Gay Village, situated in and around Canal Street, is filled with bars, clubs and other gay-owned businesses. During the day, relax at the Richmond Tea Rooms for an Alice in Wonderland inspired high-tea experience. At night, head downstairs to the


very same establishment into The Eagle, a male-only, Victorian styled bar set in the basement of an industrial building. Afterward, dance the night away at popular nightclubs like G-A-Y or Poptastic—both with relatively cheap drinks and often young crowds. Indie gay parties happen outside of the The Gay Village; check for events hosted by PopCurious.

Manchester also hosts several LGBT events throughout the year, including the Queer Contact arts festival, Manchester Pride (the biggest pride celebration in the UK) and theSparkle festival. But it’s not all fun and parties in Manchester, you can also learn about the city’s gay history by visiting Sackville Gardens, a park containing three different historical monuments: the Alan Turing Memorial, the Transgender Remembrance Memorial and the Beacon of Hope, a sculpture memorializing those affectedcoolest gay club, however, is the underground King Kong club with DJs spinning in two jam-packed basement rooms. Expect both pop and schläger music in the back room and techno beats up front. For food and drink, head to Mälarpaviljongen in the summer, a restaurant and bar spread over three floating docks. The owners are supportive of charity work at home and abroad, especially for LGBT individuals. Also, make sure to check out the vintage shopping and casual-but-cool restaurants in the SoFo neighborhood.

LONDON, ENGLAND

With London being one of the most multi-cultural cities in Europe, it’s also one of the most LGBT-friendly one. While Soho used to be the city’s main gay neighborhood, much of the nightlife has moved over to East London. Take, for example, Dalston Superstore, a


for regular photo exhibitions (including some with LGBT themes) or any number of the countless theaters in London’s West End for award-winning performances—everything from Book of Mormon to Kinky Boots.

PARIS, FRANCE

Unsurprisingly, the City of Love is also a great destination for LGBT tourists — especially couples. While France has had some turbulent years fighting for LGBT rights, the scene in Paris is largely still intact. The city’s gay neighborhood, located near the Hotel de Ville metro in the Le Marais neighborhood, still houses some of Paris’ most famous gay nightlife, like the always crowded Spyce — open late on weekends. Trendy gay bars and local favorites like Open Café or Spyce are often the starting points for a night out in Gay Paree (say it in a Frenchdive into Europe’s most romantic city, local tour operator The Gay Locals offer both historical and nightlife-themed gay tours through Paris.

DUBLIN, IRELAND

Ireland made waves in 2015 with its historic same-sex marriage equality, voted in by popular vote (the first time in the world). But its capital city has been LGBT-friendly for much longer. Gay icon Oscar Wilde was born in Dublin and today there’s a colorful memorial statue inside Merrion Park, across from his former house. Continuing the Irish tradition for LGBT literature, Dublin hosts the International Gay Theatre Festival each May with edgy, heart-warming and independent performances.

For nightlife, The George is a mixed LGBT pub, crowded most nights of the week with drag performers taking the stage almost nightly among young groups of tourists and locals crowding


of the world’s most gay-friendly cities. The annual Tel Aviv Pride attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each summer with a city-wide parade, beach parties, street events and a film festival.

While Tel Aviv’s attractions are easiest to spot in the summertime months, the city’s a great destination year-round. Small bars like the long-running Evita Bar (popular for its drag nights), Shpagat (great for its hipster vibe) and Anna Loulou offer a glimpse into the local gay scene of Tel Aviv, while bigger clubs and parties like Comfort 13, Dreck and Kuli Alma keep the nights running into the mornings with world-class DJs and crazy parties.

Century man gets battery

May 7, 2020

A Century man was arrested May 4 and is facing a felony battery charge after deputies responding to an unknown disturbance complaint in Century discovered blood and an argument where the use of a knife was involved.

Brando Dewayne Jackson, 34, 7160 Robert Road, came to an apartment where Valencia Mitchell resided on April 29 and began knocking on her door at 9:30 p.m., according to an Escambia County (Ala.) Sheriff's Office report.

Jackson continued to knock on Mitchell's door throughout the night until 10:30 a.m. April 30. Mitchell told authorities Jackson had her phone and she wanted it back, the report said.

Jackson had phoned Mitchell's mother and acted as if everything was okay, so Mitchell let Jackson into the apartment. According tothe report, when Mitchell came into the apartment, he gave he back her phone and began arguing with her. Mitchell advised she told Jackson to get out but Jackson refused to leave.

The two got into a physical altercation and Jackson punched Mitchell in the face twice, the report said.

Mitchell said she blacked out and did not remember being punched. She told deputies she armed herself with a large kitchen knife and began to yell at Jackson to get out of her house. The report indicated she tried to push Jackson out the door and Jackson turned the knife toward her hand. Mitchell's hand got cut and she was able to get her hands back on the knife and twist it back, which cut Jackson's hand.

As Jackson's hand began


to bleed, he slung it around causing blood to go all over the residence, the report said. Mitchell advised Jackson was yelling that she would get kicked out because of the blood, according to the report. When she got Jackson out of the apartment, as she began to shut the door, Jackson reached inside and hit her in the face with the palm of his hand. Mitchell then got the door closed, locked and did not go back outside, the report said.

Several other witnesses, including Mitchell's mother and children who were present, made statements that were consistent with Mitchell's account of the incident.

Reynolds-Titko began looking for a new job. However, rather than jumping at whatever came her way, Reynolds-Titko did a 180. She decided to start over and pursue an entirely new career path: programming. She didn’t know how to program, so she signed up for an intense 12-week coding bootcamp to learn.

I received in my divine experiences. Guru Maharaj ji kindled the light of spiritual experiences, God now himself took the reins in His hands like a charioteer. Gurudeo systematically taught us the method of jap, meditation on the inhalation and exhalation of breath, name-form-Lila and Brahmavidya etc. But he never referred to Neti, Dhauti, Nauli, Vasti and Yogasanas.

Guru Maharaj always laid much emphasis on service and directed to do this or that thing, kept us engaged in service in order to make up the lack of Yogasanas. He used to say us to remain absorbed in the practice of Yog. To get the mind engaged in the contemplation of name – form – Lila or the abode of God. If you free the mind, it is bound tothe Hatha practices. But the real Hatha is the strong firm faith in one God.

Saptrishis presented once a proposal to Parvati Ji for her marriage with the most majestic Lord Vishnu. They persuaded her by saying that Shiva did not have even proper dress, possessed no riches at all to keep her comfortably. Parvati Ji replied, "Hath Na Chuth Chuthe Varu Deha" She was ready to leave her physical body, but not her obduracy (Hath). Janam Koti Lagi Ragar Hamari. Baraun Shambhu Na Ta Rahun Kuwari - A For millions of birth, I would cling to the pledge that either I would marry Shambhu or remain virgin. Tajaon Na Narad Kar Updeshu. Aapu Kahehen Sat Bar Mahesu - would never renounce the instruction of Narad, not at the


not to budge even an inch from your devotion to God not even at the gospels of the millions of preachers. In the sadhana of Yog, Hatha (firmness) is most needed. Our respected Maharaj ji used to say, "Ho! Hatha is the symbol of Hanuman. A devotee should be like Hanuman, he should be unyielding like Mother Parvati. This is Hatha, practices of Neti and Dhauti are not Hatha at all". Later exponents managed to advance an equation by splitting the letters Ha and Tha which according to them represented Sun and Moon or Pingala and Ida nerves.

There are references of a number of Bundha Mudras (Bonded postures) and Pranayams for the regulation of body and mind besides the above Shatkarmas (six processes) in the books of Tantra.only after attaining its primeval form. Whatever was to be attained has been attained. Now whom to seek through Bhajan? What for Karmas are to be done? So he burns all his Karmas (actions) and rubs its ashes on his body (Sab Karmo Ki Dhuni Jalakar Tan Mein Basm Ramata Hai). The same Karmas (actions) and practices which were so essential become irrelevant after the attainment, hence they are burned. It causes no damage of any kind. Its resultant ashes and its majestic grandeur now bedeck the body.

Shri Krishna in chapter – 4/16-19 of the Geeta says – O! Arjun even wise men and discreet persons are confused about Karma, Vikrama and Akram. No one can attain enlightenment without performing the Karma (action) all the sages and seers


North Pole, in India, in Arab world or in Australia , all have equal potentialities to perform this Yagya. This is the mandate of the Gita which belongs to an age when caste, Creed, Sects and communal organisations had no existence. The Gita offers the methods for the alleviation of the mental worries and all kinds of miseries. It speaks of a procedure to attain divine bliss, eternal life, never ending Peace and everlasting prosperity.

Yogeshwar Shri Krishna again throwing light on the mode of Pranayam says,"Sparshankritwa Bahirbahan chakshu chaivantarey Bhruoh. Pranapanau Samau Kritwa Nasabhyantara Charinau (5.27) "

"Sparshankritwa Bahir Bahyan" means after abjuring the external contacts (contact of the senses with worldly objects), fixing the eyes in between the two eye brows on the front point of nose (whereand attains My immortal form". (Zanati Tumahi Tumahi Hoi Jai !) 'after knowing Him the individual merges with Him'.

Thus the Gita also enjoins that Pranayama is nothing but the blending of thought waves with Pranava through the contemplation of the inhalation and exhalation of breath.

No body can do Pranayama on his own strength till God explains it, In the Gita the lord says - Aham Vaishwanaro bhutwa Praninam Dehmashritah. Pranapan Samayuktah Pachamyannam chaturvidham (15.14)

O ! Arjun ! I am present as Vaishwanara in the heart of all the creatures I assume the form of fire to digest four kinds of grains wrapped with Pran and Apan.

All living creatures take different kinds of food. A lion is carnivorous, even the vegetarian elephant takes food in great quantity, it seems


it is God alone who from inside manages the digestion of food .

But it is not true ! Aahar (food) is that which nourishes the body so it is called Aahar. But that which nurses the soul is nothing but Bhajan which is the only food of it. "Annam Brahmeti Vyajanat" (Taittiriya Upanishad/Bhrigu Walli Ist Mantra) – "The grain is Brahma. Bhrigu Rishi obeying the instruction of his father Varun took grain, Pran. eyes, ears, mind and speech to be the gates of Brahm attainment. He undertook penance with the faith that grain is God. For a devotee Brahma alone is Anna (grain)

All fourteen kinds of fires like Sanyamagni (fire of restraint) Yogagni (fire of Yog and others) referred in the fourth chapter of the Gita are collectivelyis an old saying -that the human body is nothing but a bubble of water. The scientists have come to conclusion after research that the human body consists ninety four percent of water, only six percent of it is solid. So it is correct that it is a bubble of water. The body has the elements of earth, water, space, fire and wind. Breathing makes life possible. Please! do not obstruct the system provided by nature by increasing or decreasing the flow of breath. This would in no way help the attainment of Pranayam because Pranayaam requires restraint of leanings and thoughts, spurt of material or non-material ideas in the mind. It is the chain of unchannellised concepts rising from the act of breathing which is to be


Dharnasu Cha Yogyata Manasah" (2.53). (The mind develops the power of retention). Generally people use Pranayam for curing physical ailments but the author of Yog-Sutra,

Mahrishi Patanjali ordains clearly that Pranayam smoothens the path of God-Realisation and develops the mental power of Retention. In the beginning the mind has neither the ability of restraint nor retention. As you start counting the name within twinkling of an eye the mind slips out and starts roaming. It can not retain the Name nor the Form but when the Mundane or outward flowing thoughts get quietened and start flowing with Pranav, when the obstructions do not block the way at such a time mind gets the power of retention. After the state of Pranayam if you wish to manage your mind tosome days, when Maharaj Ji marked that they were now growing gradually less interested in further prolonging their stay and have become home sick, he instructed them to return. The homesick mind would not allow them to pursue their devotion there any more. So they were asked to go to their homes and chant 'OM' or Ram or any diminutive name. It is so because in future it has to be chanted with breathing. Then longer prayers like 'OM' Bhurbhuvah Swah or Om' Namo Bhagwatey Basudevay Namah, or 'OM' Namah Shivay would not be possible to blend with the breathing, Tulsi Das says- Mantra Param Laghu Jasu Bas Vidhi Harihar Sur Sarv :- The mantra for Jap should be tiny like 'OM' or 'Ram' Select one Name and


chant it and contemplate keeping in mind my form every morning and evening at least for five minutes, you would attain realization while remaining at your home. I would grant it even from my seat here. Bhajan is nothing but an awakening, it can not be written nor can it be narrated. It gets activated by some accomplished Sadguru only – 'So binu Sant Na Kahoo Payi' - No one can get it without the help of any saint.

Thus Maharaj Ji used to instruct for letting the breath cosigned to the flow of 'OM' Practice is not to be done for Pranayam it is to be made for chanting 'OM' through the breath. The breath is not to be held or retained, only the thoughts of worldly objectswhich leads to Divine love. It is the result of regular practice and firmfaith. The state of Dhyan occurs later on.

Another context of Manas is also worth going through, it occurs in the Kishkindha Kand and refers to the deliverance of Bali. 'Jiti Pawan Man Go Nirasi Muni Dhyan Kabahuk Pawahi', First, breathing is controlled through the regulation of inhalation and exhalation of it. Then the impulse of thoughts which is stimulated through breathing and the surrounding atmosphere is to be overcome. Only after completely freeing the mind and senses from the stronghold of objects and their attachements, the Munis attain the state of Dhyan which is the fruit of constant and perpetual practice. 'Dhyan Kabhuk Pawahi' (Seldom get it). This is the result not the beginning. One


goes on in the outer world. Bhajan is performed in a concealed way. Even the neighbouring person fails to know that the Bhajan was being performed. Thus sadgurudeo is a hard nut to crack but it is very easy to find him out - only know the method of Sadhana and engage yourself in it. Go on chanting the name, praying God and serving faithfully the saints and seers. God would Himself show the path – "Sant Vishuddh Milahin Pari Tehin, Ram Kripa Kari Chitwahin Jeyhin."– Once the Lord graciously happens to cast his glance at any one, the genuine saint (Sadguru) meets like a windfall. After you meet a sadguru, nothing remains to be achieved. After this Dhyan comes as the next step. But Dhyan is neverAlex Hornibrook

Young was sent home during offseason training camp last summer after he sucker-punched teammate Louis Delmas. He was banished from the Lions twice more during the season after he purposely lined up in the wrong position against the Green Bay Packers in Week 11 and again for insubordination.

Young will count $900,000 against the cap in 2013. He was a second-round pick in 2011 with obvious talent and significant maturity issues. The Lions rolled the dice and crapped out. The organization couldn't continue to put up with his issues after his multitude of problems last offseason. Young finished with 81 receptions, 990 yards and 10 touchdowns in two seasons.

mock practice.” Destructive, yes, but controlled. And, indeed, they stem from a longer tradition of “reenacting technological destruction for public amusement.”

“Wrecking material objects to entertain live crowds” has such precedents as recreating eruptions of Mount Vesuvius at Coney Island in the 1880s. By the early 1900s, Coney Island—the nation’s premier outdoor recreation center—hosted six different disaster shows. The Johnstown Flood and Boer War battles were recreated, but it was the fires that really drew the crowds. These were real conflagrations, staged in replica multi-story buildings, with a cast of “firefighters” in full gear.

In the 1930s, daredevil pilot Frank Frakes specialized in crashing airplanes into trees, pre-fab houses, and sometimes even the ground in front of crowds.

In 1896, a publicity-hungry Ohio railroad staged a collision in which two oldlocomotives pulling dilapidated cars (with dummy passengers visible in the windows) smashed into each other. There were 25,000 people watching. Afterwards, they scrambled to collect souvenirs from the colossal wreck. This was the first of numerous railroad crash spectacles. The phenomenon lost steam after two audience members were killed and scores wounded at one such spectacle in Texas.

In the 1930s, daredevil pilot Frank Frakes specialized in crashing airplanes into trees, pre-fab houses, and sometimes even the ground in front of crowds. Yet simulated fires, railroad duels, and plane smash-ups have all faded as entertainment. Only the deliberate car crash, pioneered in the early 1920s by Ward Beam’s daredevil troupe, has had staying power. The Depression helped, as more people were willing to work as stunt drivers, and more

Hujoel emphasized that crooked teeth, overbites and underbites are different than an asymmetric bite. Those conditions can be associated with asymmetric and symmetric bites, the latter of which is largely a reflection of genetics, not environmental stress, he said.

Hujoel, Erin Masterson and Anne-Marie Bollen researched data gathered from 1966 to 1970, a sample of 6,654 12- to 17-year-olds involved in a National Health Examination Survey. The study found that one in four of the U.S. adolescents had lower-face asymmetries.

“Lower-face asymmetries were common in a generation that became typified by an epidemic of diabetes and obesity in adulthood,” noted Hujoel, an adjunct professor of epidemiololgy in the School of Public Health.

The team had to look back four decades forLiberals Will Run Against Jagmeet Singh In Burnaby South Byelection, Bucking ‘Leader’s Courtesy’

The vote is expected to be called in the new year and take place in February.

NDP leader Jagmeet Singh and MPs Karine Trudel, left, and Tracey Ramsey speak to reporters in the foyer of the House of Commons on Oct. 1, 2018.

Federal Liberals will not be extending a so-called "leader's courtesy" to give the NDP's Jagmeet Singh an easier path to the House of Commons

A senior Liberal source unauthorized to speak on the matter has confirmed to HuffPost Canada that Liberals will run a candidate against Singh in an upcoming byelection in the British Columbia riding of Burnaby South. The source confirmed earlier reports from both The Hill Times and CBC News.

The byelection is expected to


be called early in the new year and take place in February. The government will also call votes to fill vacancies in two other ridings: Quebec's Outremont, previously held by former NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, and Ontario's York-Simcoe, left open by the exit of former Tory MP Peter Van Loan.

Watch: Jagmeet Singh concedes he has 'a lot more work to do'

Green Party Leader Elizabeth May announced in August that her party would not put up a candidate against the NDP leader, honouring an informal Canadian parliamentary tradition of clearing some space for party leaders who don't hold seats in the Commons.

In 2002, governing Liberals and Progressive Conservatives did not run candidates against then-Canadian Alliance leader Stephen Harper when he sought a seat in a Calgary. The same courtesywas extended to a seatless Jean Chretien when the Liberal leader ran in a 1990 byelection.

In both cases, however, Harper and Chretien were leaders of the Official Opposition without the right to sit in the Commons. Singh, a former Ontario MPP, is the leader of a third party.

In 2000, governing Liberals did not run a candidate against Progressive Conservative leader Joe Clark in a Nova Scotia byelection, even though he was not the Official Opposition leader. Clark was, however, a former prime minister attempting to make a political comeback.

The Liberal source told HuffPost that grassroots Liberals in Burnaby South wanted to compete to win the seat, long held by New Democrats. Former NDP MP Kennedy Stewart formally resigned the seat in September while running successfully to become Vancouver's


Justin Trudeau to immediately call byelections in the three ridings with vacancies.

At the time, Trudeau had only called a vote for Dec. 3 in the Ontario riding of Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes. The riding was held for years by the well-respected Conservative MP Gord Brown, who passed away in May, and is widely expected to stay Tory blue.

"The longstanding tradition in Canada is to call the by-elections for all vacant seats at the same time," they wrote in the letter. "However, you have offered no clear explanation as to why you only called a by-election date in Leeds-Grenville while the 334,000 Canadians in Burnaby-South, York-Simcoe, and Outremont should continue to go without federal representation."

Justin Tang/CPPrime Minister Justin Trudeau poses for a photo with NDP Leader Jagmeet Singhand his wife Gurkiran Singh at the Parliamentary Press Gallery Dinner in Gatineau, Que., on May 26, 2018.

According to Elections Canada, a byelection must be called within six months after a seat is vacated. Trudeau needed to call a vote in Leeds-Grenville-Thousand Islands and Rideau Lakes by Oct. 30.

Based on the timing of the vacancies in other ridings, as made official by Elections Canada, Trudeau needs to call a byelection in Outremont by Jan. 30, in Burnaby South by March 18, and in York-Simcoe by March 30.

The delay has also been good news for Maxime Bernier's People's Party of Canada. As CBC News pointed out, while Bernier applied to register his party with Elections Canada in October, he would not have been able to run candidates in byelections


within 60 days of that application.

Still, New Democrats have blasted Trudeau as "petty and manipulative" for not calling the votes. Trudeau scoffed at the NDP's "sanctimony" over the issue.

Watch: NDP leader says things are 'trending up'

"We look forward to calling them soon and look forward to campaigning against people who are so enthusiastic about the democratic process," Trudeau told the House at the time.

Liberals also noted all the other byelection races that Singh has passed on since becoming NDP leader in October 2017, including three last December — in the B.C. riding of South Surrey-White Rock, Newfoundland and Labrador riding of Bonavista-Burin-Trinity, and Ontario riding of Scarborough-Agincourt — and a June byelection in the Chicoutimi-Le Fjord riding in Quebec.

The Palestinian Authority and Fatah are organizing the rallies in the city centers, but a key question is whether the Palestinian security services will stop demonstrators from reaching the potential flashpoints. In light of the Palestinian-Arab-Muslim consensus against US President Trump’s decision to recognize Jerusalem, PA security may receive orders not to step in to block protesters on their way to the checkpoints, except, perhaps, to prevent the use of firearms.

This week marks 30 years since an IDF truck collided with a civilian car in Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza, killing four Palestinians, which led to the outbreak of the First Intifada, also known as the stone-throwing intifada. Friday may see a repeat of some of those First Intifada-style confrontations but on a


larger scale. This time Hamas is already calling for an intifada.

A very large number of people are expected to participate in protests Friday, with calls in the mosques to protect Jerusalem and the Temple Mount (or, as Trump called it, Haram al-Sharif) and nonstop broadcasting on Palestinian TV of clips showing past violence around Jerusalem.

A small reminder – Ariel Sharon ascended the Temple Mount on Thursday, September 28, 2000, and nothing much happened right then. The explosion of violence took place immediately after prayers on Friday, September 29, when riots broke out on the Temple Mount, leading to police going up to the site, the deaths of 13 worshipers and the start of what become the Second Intifada.

The next test will be what happens after Friday. Will thegave rise to quite a few demands by the various Palestinian leaders and camps who wish to take over the leadership of Fatah from Abbas come the day — calls to announce the cancellation of the Oslo Accords, to renounce the political peace process, to return to a First Intifada kind of “struggle.” This last demand is being promoted by supporters of Marwan Barghouti, who is currently serving five life sentences in an Israeli jail for his role in murderous terror attacks during the Second Intifada in the early 2000s.

For his part, Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Hamas political bureau, is calling on the Palestinians to mount an intifada to liberate Jerusalem. It is fascinating to see how, despite the ostensible reconciliation process between Hamas and Fatah, Haniyeh

with the director’s signature voice. Shot in black-and-white and starring Alicia Vikander, the film–which captures an entire life in 164 moments–made its U.S. premiere this week at “A Special Evening with The National” at New York City’s Beacon Theatre. Following the screening, frontman Matt Berninger, Aaron Dessner, and Mills were joined by special moderator Julien Baker to discuss the project before the band played the album in full (though out of order) for the first time publicly, as well as a few older favorites.

Far more than just a side project to drum up attention for the album–which arrives on May 17 alongside the film–Mills actually had a profound effect on the making of their new music. Initially talking to the band about making a music video, a moreambitious idea was sparked in the mind of the director. As a proof of concept, he first presented the band a five-minute cut featuring footage of a black & white “artsy fartsy French film” (Berninger’s words, and the name of which Mills wouldn’t reveal) that layered The National’s new music over it. When it was clear the idea was working, Mills took early arrangements of unfinished songs and went ahead to shoot the film. When it was wrapped, the band was about halfway done with their album and upon seeing the film, it helped inspire new ideas for the second half of the album’s production, so much so that two songs were borne out of the Mills-written short. As Berninger says “they were stewed in the same pot,”


and resulted in two congruous projects that spoke to each other in beautiful ways.

Built on the fragmented style of memory-filled detours found in Beginners and 20th Century Women, Mills charts the entire life of Vikander’s nameless character through these fleeting 164 moments. As a handful of songs from The National play throughout, a near-constant stream of text pops up with each new scene to narrate the life of the character: “She has her first kiss, Her father dies,” etc. With its pristine cinematography and checkboxes of major life events, it could pass during its first moments as a perfectly fine commercial for the latest medical treatment. Yet as it evolves, Mills injects his story with an emotionally piercing honesty that gradually builds to become something immensely affecting.

As werelay the passing of time and toss out reminders of the financial, political, and terror crises.

Perhaps the most touching aspect is the cyclical depiction of life. She moves out of the house, but still calls her father on Sunday, then decades later, she rings her son on the same day. What could come off treacly is handled with both an overt directness in the script and a tenderness in the imagery that culminates into something both recognizable and overwhelming. “Her husband is different than she thought,” writes Mills as we see the honesty of a love made vulnerable. Most remarkable of all is how the project does indeed stand on its own. Being a fan of the band surely helps, but Mills set out to tell a fully-formed
