The possibility of Mayweather-McGregor actually happening emerged in British tabloids, an arm of the media that's maybe not so familiar with the contractual limitations that would prohibit McGregor—the UFC's biggest star of the moment as well as its most estranged—from fighting while employed under Zuffa, the obstacles to sanctioning a bout between one of the pound-for-pound best boxers to ever compete and an athlete making his boxing debut, or the fairly obvious differences between boxing and mixed martial arts in general.

The Franciscan Friars of Mary Immaculate are taught basic Polish so they can sing the traditional hymns sung by Kolbe, in the saint's native tongue. According to the friars: > Our patron, St. Maximilian Kolbe, inspires us with his unique Mariology and > apostolic mission, which is to bring all souls to the Sacred Heart of Christ > through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Christ's most pure, efficient, and > holy instrument of evangelization – especially those most estranged from the > Church. Stained glass window by Alois Plum depicting Edith Stein and Maximilian Kolbe Kolbe's views into Marian theology echo today through their influence on Vatican II. His image may be found in churches across Europe and throughout the world. Several churches in Poland are under his patronage, such as the Sanctuary of Saint Maxymilian in Zduńska Wola or the Church of Saint Maxymilian Kolbe in Szczecin.

The blood-feud between Atreus and Thyestes was not ended with the vengeance which Atreus wreaked upon his brother. It was fated that Thyestes should live to father upon his own daughter a son, Aegisthus, who would slay Atreus and bring ruin and death upon Agamemnon. The Trojan War is done, and now the near approach of the victorious king Agamemnon, bringing his captives and treasure home to Argos, has been announced. But his wife Clytemnestra, enraged at Agamemnon because he had sacrificed her daughter Iphigenia at Aulis to appease the winds, and full of jealousy because he brings Cassandra as her rival home, estranged also by the long-continued absence of her husband, but most estranged by her own guilty affair with Aegisthus, is now plotting to slay her husband on his return, gaining both revenge and safety from his anger.

Carpenter remarked in his work The Intermediate Sex: > Eros is a great leveller. Perhaps the true Democracy rests, more firmly than > anywhere else, on a sentiment which easily passes the bounds of class and > caste, and unites in the closest affection the most estranged ranks of > society. It is noticeable how often Uranians of good position and breeding > are drawn to rougher types, as of manual workers, and frequently very > permanent alliances grow up in this way, which although not publicly > acknowledged have a decided influence on social institutions, customs and > political tendencies.Edward Carpenter The Intermediate Sex, p.114-115 Edward Carpenter (1894) by Roger Fry (1866-1934), oil on canvas; given by the artist, 1930 Carpenter included among his friends the scholar, author, naturalist, and founder of the Humanitarian League, Henry S.
