Jewish eschatology is the area of Jewish philosophy and theology concerned with events that will happen in the end of days and related concepts. This includes the ingathering of the exiled diaspora, the coming of a Jewish Messiah and the revival of the dead Tzadikim. In Judaism, the end times are called the "end of days", a phrase that appears several times in the Tanakh. In Judaism, the main textual source for the belief in the end of days and accompanying events is the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible; the roots of Jewish eschatology are to be found in the pre-exile Prophets, including Isaiah and Jeremiah, the exile-prophets Ezekiel and Deutero-Isaiah. The main tenets of Jewish eschatology are the following, in no particular order, elaborated in the Books of Isaiah and Ezekiel: End of world God redeems the Jewish people from the captivity that began during the Babylonian Exile, in a new Exodus God returns the Jewish people to the Land of Israel God restores the House of David and the Temple in Jerusalem God creates a regent from the House of David to lead the Jewish people and the world and usher in an age of justice and peace All nations recognize that the God of Israel is the only true God God resurrects the dead God creates a new heaven and a new earth The Hebrew word mashiach refers to the Jewish idea of the messiah.

Mashiach means anointed, a meaning preserved in the English word derived from messiah. The Messiah is to be a human leader, physically descended from the Davidic line, who will rule and unite the people of Israel and will usher in the Messianic Age of global and universal peace. While the name of the Jewish Messiah is considered to be one of the things that precede creation, he is not considered divine, in contrast to Christianity where Jesus is both divine and the Messiah. In biblical times the title mashiach was awarded to someone in a high position of nobility and greatness. For example, Cohen ha-Mašíaḥ means High Priest. In the Talmudic era the title mashiach or מלך המשיח, Méleḫ ha-Mašíaḥ means "the anointed King", it is a reference to the Jewish leader and king that will redeem Israel in the end of days and usher in a messianic era of peace and prosperity for both the living and deceased. Early in the Second temple Period hopes for a better future are described in the Jewish scriptures. After the return from the Babylonic exile, the Persian king Cyrus II was called "messiah" in Isiaiah, due to his role in the return of the Jews exiles.

A number of messianic ideas developed during the Second Temple Period, ranging from this-worldy, political expectations, to apocalyptic expectations of an endtime in which the dead would be resurrected and the Kingdom of Heaven would be established on earth. The Messiah might be a kingly "Son of David," or a more heavenly "Son of Man," but "Messianism became eschatological, eschatology was decisively influenced by apocalypticism," while "messianic expectations became focused on the figure of an individual savior. According to Zwi Werblowsky, "the Messiah no longer symbolized the coming of the new age, but he was somehow supposed to bring it about; the "Lord's anointed" thus became the "savior and redeemer" and the focus of more intense expectations and doctrines." Messianic ideas developed both by new interpretations of the Jewish scriptures, but by visionary revelations. The Babylonian Talmud, tractate Sanhedrin, contains a long discussion of the events leading to the coming of the Messiah.

Throughout Jewish history Jews have compared these passages to contemporary events in search of signs of the Messiah's imminent arrival, continuing into present times. The Talmud tells many stories about the Messiah, some of which represent famous Talmudic rabbis as receiving personal visitations from Elijah the Prophet and the Messiah. In rabbinic literature, the rabbis elaborated and explained the prophecies that were found in the Hebrew Bible along with the oral law and rabbinic traditions about its meaning. Maimonides' commentary to tractate Sanhedrin stresses a naturalistic interpretation of the Messiah, de-emphasizing miraculous elements, his commentary became accepted in the non- or less-mystical branches of Orthodox Judaism. The belief in a human Messiah of the Davidic line is a universal tenet of faith among Orthodox Jews and one of Maimonides' thirteen principles of faith; some authorities in Orthodox Judaism believe that this era will lead to supernatural events culminating in a bodily resurrection of the dead.

Maimonides, on the other hand, holds that the events of the messianic era are not connected with the resurrection. Conservative Judaism varies in its teachings. While it retains traditional references to a personal redeemer and prayers for the restoration of the Davidic line in the liturgy, Conservative Jews are more inclined to accept the idea of a messianic era: We do not know when the Messiah will come, nor whether he will be a charismatic human figure or is a symbol of the redemption of mankind from the evils of the world. Through the doctrine of a Messianic figure, Judaism teaches us that every individual human being must live as if he or she, has the responsibility to bring about the messianic age. Beyond that, we echo the words of Maimonides based on the prophet Habakkuk that though he may tarry, yet do we wait for him each day... Reform Judaism concurs with the more liberal Conservative perspective of a future messianic era rather than a personal Messiah. Acc

Boys is a 2003 Indian Tamil-language coming-of-age musical film directed by S. Shankar, it stars newcomers Siddharth, Genelia D'Souza, Nakul and Sai Srinivas in the lead roles. The score and soundtrack are composed by A. R. Rahman. Boys was released in Telugu as well with the same title; the story revolves around the six youngsters. Munna, Bob Galy, Krishna and Juju are five friends obsessed with smoking, ogling girls, having sex, watching pornography, complaining about their parents. While Munna's parents are out of town, they hire a prostitute Rani, but all of them back out at the last moment. One day, they meet Mangalam, a depressed middle-age man, in a bar and help him home after he passes out. Although they first use him as a source to get alcohol, Mangalam enjoys their company and becomes a mentor of sorts for the boys. One day, the boys see all of them decide to ask her out. Everyone's try fails, but they become friends with her and her friends Sampatha, Padma and Teju. However, Munna can not forget her.

He conveys his feelings to her while on a day-out in a resort. Sampatha lies to Munna that Harini would accept him only if he streaks on Mount Road, he does it and is arrested. When Harini learns what Munna did, she accepts his love. Munna's and Harini's parents learn about their relationship and are furious, as they want them to focus on their studies. Harini's father holds a meeting involving Munna, his friends, their parents and Harini's friends at his house. After that, if they are still in love, the parents will not oppose them. Although the children agree to this, they continue to long for each other. Harini and Munna run away from their homes and elope at Tirumala. On hearing the news and Harini's parents disown them. Munna's friends walk out of their homes too, in a show of solidarity for Harini.

Soon, they are approached by a Naxalite group to compose anti-government songs, they do it for money and are arrested under POTA. They are expelled from their respective colleges. After their release, Boys show more resolve to succeed in their musical career. After a few unsuccessful attempts, they are signed by Sony Music and record their first album. While celebrating their success, a drunk Krishna accidentally tells Harini about their earlier encounter with Rani. Harini, hurt at this revelation, leaves Munna and returns to her parents, despite Munna pleading that he and Harini did not know each other before the encounter and that he did not have sex with Rani; as only Rani can prove that Munna did not have sex with her, Boys begin searching for her. Kumar tries to board it, but dies after being run over. Munna decides that his words accepts her decision. Boys' album soon becomes a huge hit.

But without Harini, the lead female vocalist, the record labels are unwilling to sign them. When Boys request Harini's presence for a live show on MTV, her parents accept, but on the condition that Munna signs the divorce papers. Munna agrees. Boys has a successful live debut, they dedicate their first live success in memory of Kumar. They dedicate their success to Mangalam, whom Krishna calls their godfather. On the day of the divorce hearing, now the manager of Boys, fields many calls to replace Harini with another girl; when Harini looks at the pictures of all the girls vying to be the group's new lead female vocalist, a bout of jealousy strikes her.

Milestones is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter and composer Miles Davis, recorded with his "first great quintet" augmented as a sextet. It was released in 1958 by Columbia Records. Tenor saxophonist John Coltrane's return to Davis' group in 1958 coincided with the "modal phase" albums: Milestones and Kind of Blue are both considered essential examples of 1950s modern jazz. Davis at this point was experimenting with modes -- scale patterns other than minor. Davis plays both trumpet and piano on "Sid's Ahead," a blues, reminiscent of "Walkin'." He plays trumpet in the ensemble passages and solos on trumpet but moves to the piano to accompany the saxophonists in Garland's absence. "Billy Boy" is a solo feature for the rhythm section. In a five-star review, Allmusic's Thom Jurek called Milestones a classic album with blues material in both bebop and post-bop veins, as well as the "memorable" title track, which introduced modalism in jazz and defined Davis' subsequent music in the years to follow.

Andy Hermann of PopMatters felt that the album offers more aggressive swinging than Kind of Blue and showcases the first session between saxophonists Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley, whose different styles "feed off each other and push each musician to greater heights." Jim Santella of All About Jazz said that the quality of the personnel Davis enlisted was "the best" though the sextet was short-lived, that Milestones is "a seminal album that helped shape jazz history."The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected the album as part of its suggested "Core Collection", calling it "one of the great modern-jazz albums." Milestones was released in mono, as well as in electronically re-channeled stereo. The album was remixed and remastered in stereo for The Complete Columbia Recordings of Miles Davis with John Coltrane and, in 2001, reissued in stereo on the Columbia/Legacy label.

Makoko is a neighbourhood across the 3rd Mainland Bridge located on the coast of mainland Lagos. A third of the community is built on stilts along the lagoon and the rest is on the land; the waterfront part of the community is harboured by the Egun people who migrated from Badagary and Republic of Benin and whose main occupation is fishing. In July 2012, the Lagos State government ordered that some of the stilts beyond the power-lines be brought down without proper notice; this led to the destruction of several stilts on the Iwaya/Makoko waterfront and many families were rendered homeless. Established in the 19th century, much of Makoko rests in structures constructed on stilts above Lagos Lagoon. Makoko is a neighbouring community to Iwaya on Oko Baba. In July 2012, Lagos State government under the governorship of Babatunde Fashola ordered that the stilts on the Iwaya/Makoko waterfront be demolished and dozens of stilts were demolished within 72 hours of notice to the residents. Nearly 3,000 people lost their homes to the demolition exercise.

Two months after the partial demolition, a Serac housing affiliate known as the Urban Spaces Innovation developed a regeneration plan for Makoko that would bring the community together with academics, non-profits, international consultants. The plan was submitted to the Lagos State Ministry of Urban and Physical Planning in January 2014. Makoko is sometimes referred to as the "Venice of Africa", its population is considered to be 85,840. Makoko Floating School CEE HOPE Iwan Baan. "School at Sea". New York Times. Photos of Makoko.
