Arriving in Boston in 1920, he embarked on a successful transcontinental speaking tour before settling in Los Angeles in 1925. For the next two and a half decades, he gained local fame as well as expanded his influence worldwide: he created a monastic order and trained disciples, went on teaching-tours, bought properties for his organization in various California locales, and initiated thousands into Kriya Yoga. By 1952, SRF had over 100 centers in both India and the US; today, they have groups in nearly every major American city. His "plain living and high thinking" principles attracted people from all backgrounds among his followers.Valtaosa amerikkalaisista pitää enemmän high living and plain thinking - vaihtoehdosta.

(He’s apparently still alive on p. 14.) The A.F.R. uses the tape to set off some sort of intracontinental conflagaration (16: “some sort of ultra-mach fighter too high overhead to hear slices the sky from south to north”) which apparently topples the Gentle administration (n114: “[Y.G. is] the very last year of Subsidized Time”).
ellauri108.html on line 266: Rastafari was introduced to the United States and Canada with the migration of Jamaicans to continental North America in the 1960s and 1970s. American police were often suspicious of Rastas and regarded Rastafari as a criminal sub-culture. Rastafari also attracted converts from within several Native American communities and picked up some support from white members of the hippie subculture, which was then in decline. In Latin America, small communities of Rastas have also established in Brazil, Panama, and Nicaragua.
ellauri108.html on line 279: Rastafari also established itself in various continental European countries, among them the Netherlands, Germany, Portugal, and France, gaining a particular foothold among black migrant populations but also attracting white converts. In France for instance it established a presence in two cities with substantial black populations, Paris and Bordeaux, while in the Netherlands, it attracted converts within the Surinamese migrant community.

Those traitor British actors should be brought to the wall and shot, if they weren´t dead already.
ellauri188.html on line 311: In the 1840s Britain and France considered sponsoring continued independence of the Republic of Texas and blocking U.S. moves to obtain California. Balance of power considerations made Britain want to keep the western territories out of U.S. hands to limit U.S. power; in the end, France opposed such intervention in order to limit British power, the same reason for which France had sold Louisiana to the U.S. and earlier supported the American Revolution. Thus the great majority of the territorial growth of the continental United States was accepted without question by Paris.
ellauri222.html on line 969: Ellsworth Huntington travelled continental Europe in hopes of better understanding the connection between climate and state success, publishing his findings in The Pulse of Asia, and further elaborating in Civilization and Climate. Like the political geographers, a crucial component of his work was the belief that the climate of North-western Europe was ideal, with areas further north being too cold, and areas further south being too hot, resulting in lazy, laid-back populations. These ideas have powerful connections to colonialism, and may have played a role in the creation of the 'other' and the literature that many used to justify taking advantage of less advanced nations. Who needs Proust or Tolstoy when it suffices to reach up to get a banana.
ellauri243.html on line 147: until the American Holocaust, when the United States was attacked by waves of Russian bombers launching hypersonic nuclear-tipped missiles. Almost the entire fleet of American long-range bombers and more than half of America's intercontinental-ballistic-missile arsenal was wiped out in a matter of hours. But Battle Mountain's little fleet of high-tech bombers, led by Patrick McLanahan, survived and formed the spearhead of the American counterattack that destroyed most of Russia's ground-launched intercontinental nuclear missiles and restored a tenuous sort of parity in nuclear forces between the two nations. On the plus side, there are now less than half so many hungry mouths left to feed on the entire ball of fire. Except this, everything goes on as before, business as usual.
ellauri249.html on line 390: In post-Napoleonic England, when there was a notable absence of Jews, Britain removed bans on "usury and moneylending," and Rubenstein attests that London and Liverpool became economic trading hubs which bolstered England's status as an economic powerhouse. Jews were often associated with being the moneymakers and financial bodies in continental Europe, so it is significant that the English were able to claim responsibility for the country's financial growth and not attribute it to Jews. It is also significant that because Jews were not in the spotlight financially, it took a lot of the anger away from them, and as such, antisemitism was somewhat muted in England. It is said that Jews did not rank among the "economic elite of many British cities" in the 19th century. Again, the significance in this is that British Protestants and non-Jews felt less threatened by Jews because they were not imposing on their prosperity and were not responsible for the economic achievements of their nation.

xxx/ellauri123.html on line 655: Dwayne Douglas Johnson (s. 2. toukokuuta 1972 Hayward, Kalifornia), paremmin tunnettu nimellä The Rock, on yhdysvaltalainen näyttelijä ja showpainija. Johnson laulaa Disney-animaatiossa Vaiana kappaleen "You're Welcome". Johnson on kolmannen sukupolven painija, sillä hänen isänsä ja isoisänsäkin olivat painijoita. Painiuransa aikana ja sen jälkeen hän on esiintynyt monissa elokuvissa, kuten Muumin paalu, Skorpionikuningas, Pako viidakkoon, Walking Tall, Gridiron Gang, Be Cool, Doom, The Game Plan sekä Fast & Furious 5, 6, 7 ja 8. Vuonna 2016 Johnson oli Forbes-lehden mukaan maailman parhaiten palkattu näyttelijä 64,5 miljoonan dollarin vuosituloillaan ja samoin vuonna 2018 89 miljoonan dollarin tuloillaan. Isänsä (Rocky Johnson) puolelta hän on tummaihoinen kanadalainen (engl. Black Canadian) ja äitinsä (Ata Johnson o.s. Maivia) puolelta samoalainen. Sekä isä Rocky että äidin adoptioisä Peter Maivia kuuluvat showpainin WWE Hall of Fame -kunniagalleriaan. Myös isoäiti Lia Malvia toimi lajin parissa johtaen Polynesian Pro Wrestling -promootiota Havaijilla. (Mummu Ruokamo.) Miamin yliopistosta hänellä on tutkinto kriminologiasta. Hävittyään Intercontinental Championship -tittelin Owen Hartille 28. huhtikuuta 1997 ja toivuttuaan loukkaantumisesta Johnson liittyi Nation of Domination talliin loppuvuodesta 1997. Samalla Johnson muutti painihahmoaan. Hyvänä hahmona tunnettu Rocky Maivia oli nyt karismaattinen kiusaaja The Rock, joka puhui itsestään kolmannessa persoonassa. Lopulta maaliskuussa 1998 hän syrjäytti Faarooqin Nation of Domination tallin johtajan asemasta. The Rock ryhtyi samalla myös pilkkaamaan WWF:n televisiojuontajia, erityisesti David Attenboroughia.

Many controversies arose out of this conflict, and these are often referred to as controversial debates. In reality, the semitic hags were in one another's hairs. Lähde:
