For movie production contact: [email protected] YAKUB is a dark brown brilliant young boy with an exceptionally large head. Because of his exceptionally large head, YAKUB is often laughingly called "the big headed scientist" by other children. His experiments with magnets lead to his ideas of rulership that will eventually alter the face of humanity and change the course of civilization forever. At the age of six, YAKUB sits by the banks of the river playing with two pieces of steel alongside his playmate, QURANNA. When she asks him what he is doing, he answers, "I am learning about the power of attraction." Later that night, he demonstrates his trick to his uncle by bringing the two pieces of steel close to each other until they suddenly jump the rest of the distance and stick together. When asked by his uncle what is the meaning of this, YAKUB replies, "I am going to make an entirely new race of people to rule over everyone."YAKUB gathers his followers and they set sail for the Isles of Patmos via the Aegean Sea to Isles of Patmos. During the voyage some became sick. YAKUB gives orders that any among them who are weak or become sick must be thrown overboard.600 years later, YAKUB'S dream of a new race of people is complete, a race whose skin is almost completely white with blue, green, and gray eyes and blonde, red, and brunette colored hair. The new people, following YAKUB'S direction, set sail for the Holy Land in the east. They return back to ancient Bekkah with about 6,000 people and create a stir as they are regarded as foreign invaders, the likes of whom had never been seen before. The sun is setting and dogs are barking in the distance. As the cave man runs, he frequently looks up at a bright moon in the darkening sky suddenly trips and falls onto a dead half-human half-ape corpse. He gets up, kicks it, and continues running up the side of a mountain into a small cave that is guarded by two dog. Crawling into the cave on his hands and knees through the narrow entry, he enters. As the cave man peers into the darkness of the cave, he sees wild-looking cave men, women and children eating raw human flesh. Horrified at the sight, he screams. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

More than half a century ago, sociologist J. Milton Yinger remarked about religion, "There are few major subjects about which men know so little, yet feel so certain." Samuel L. Perry says that Yinger had it right. Americans--and Westerners more generally--neglect the scientific study of religion, and we do so at our peril. In Religion for Realists, Perry argues that we need the scientific study of religion--the rational, data-driven analysis of religious life-now more than ever. Contrary to the fears of many religious Americans, the scientific study of religion only threatens empirical falsehoods, promulgated often to the benefit of charlatans and demagogues. And contrary to the silent hopes of many secular academics, religion doesn't go away when you ignore it. Instead, interest groups fill the void to shape the public's understanding of religious reality: sometimes well, usually poorly. Perry makes the case that, as people in the West self-sort into partisan tribes, all of us--religious and irreligious alike--need the scientific study of religion. This book presents a practical roadmap for ensuring that its insights are widely available, accessible, and impactful.

Notice to Quit

Ireland's Great Hunger Museum at Quinnipiac University publishes Famine Folios, a unique resource for students, scholars and researchers, as well as general readers, covering many aspects of the Famine in Ireland from 1845-1852 - the worst demographic catastrophe of nineteenth-century Europe. The essays are interdisciplinary in nature, and make available new research in Famine studies by internationally established scholars in history, art history, cultural theory, philosophy, media history, political economy, literature and music.During the peak years of the great famine at least 750,000 men, women, and children died from either starvation or disease. At the same time roughly 350,000 individuals were driven out of their dwellings. Overall the population of Ireland fell from some 8.5 million people in 1845 to around 6.5 million in 1851. This ominous drain of humanity continued at a slower rate well into the twentieth century.Whereas nature could be blamed for the lethal effects of acute hunger or malnutrition, human agency caused much of this devastating loss owing to mass evictions of the poorest tenants and squatters after the agent or bailiff had served them with the dreaded Notice To Quit. This richly illustrated pamphlet seeks to contextualize the mass evictions by focussing on the ideological and economic factors as well as the role of religious and racial prejudice in prompting owners to rid their estates of what was known as a "surplus population." Determined to avoid paying for the maintenance of unprofitable tenants and squatters, landlords sought to avoid insolvency by expelling these pauperized peasants. After destroying their cabins, they consolidated all these small holdings into larger farms or cattle ranches that were rented to solvent tenants. Relying on the laws governing land tenure, letting contracts, and rent, these landlords used the mechanism of eviction to ensure that their estates would become profitable enough to pay for their own privileged way of life.Whether or not the victims of eviction received private or public assistance to emigrate overseas, the results of these clearances were much the same. Thousands of acres were converted to pasturage in parts of Munster and Connaught and small villages or clachans were abandoned. Only the skeletal remains of stone cottages remained - some of which can still be seen today.No wonder that many Irish contemporaries called the evictors "exterminators. "
