Theophan the Recluse known as Theophan Zatvornik or Theophanes the Recluse is a well-known saint in the Russian Orthodox Church. Theophan the Recluse known as Theophan Zatvornik or Theophanes the Recluse or as "Ḟeofan, Bishop of Tambov and Shatsk, 1815-1894" was born on January 10, 1815 as Georgy Vasilievich Govorov, in the village of Chernavsk, in the Oryol Governorate of the Russian Empire, his father was a Russian Orthodox priest. He was educated in the seminaries at Livny and Kiev. In 1841 he was ordained, became a monk, adopted the name Theophan, he became the Bishop of Tambov. He is well-known today through the many books he wrote concerning the spiritual life on the subjects of the Christian life and the training of youth in the faith, he played an important role in translating the Philokalia from Church Slavonic into Russian. The Philokalia is a classic of orthodox spirituality, composed of the collected works of a number of church fathers which were edited and placed in a four volume set in the 17th and 18th centuries.

A persistent theme is developing an interior life of continuous prayer, learning to "pray without ceasing" as St. Paul teaches in his first letter to the Thessalonians, he lay in state for three days in his church. After that length of time there was no sign of decay in his unembalmed body. Theophan the Recluse was buried in the Kazan church of the Vysha Monastery; the Spiritual Life and How to Be Attuned To It was written in response to Theophan's encounter with a young woman. While at a ball, this upper class Moscow woman began having irrational thoughts about the meaning of life and the immortality of man. After contacting Theophan, the two began corresponding through letters, the lady writing on her spiritual difficulties and Theophan responding with spiritual advice; this correspondence had a significant impact on the woman. The Saint Herman Press, the publisher of the illustrated edition of The Spiritual Life and How to Be Attuned To It, notes that it was of great importance to Theophan that the young woman should "be able to keenly hear the right "tone" of spiritual life."

Theophan was canonized by the Local Council of the Russian Orthodox Church of 1988. The act of canonization declared that his "deep theological understanding of the Christian teaching, as well as its performance in practice, and, as a consequence of this, the loftiness and holiness of the life of the sviatitel' allow for his writings to be regarded as a development of the teaching of the Holy Fathers, preserving the same Orthodox purity and Divine enlightenment." His feast day is celebrated January 6 or January 10. "He who believes in God, but does not confess Him as the Father of the Son, does not believe in a god, the true God, but in some personal invention." "You ask, will the heterodox be saved... Why do you worry about them? They have a Saviour, he will take care of them. You and I should not be burdened with such a concern. Study yourself and your own sins... I will tell you one thing, however: should you, being Orthodox and possessing the Truth in its fullness, betray Orthodoxy, enter a different faith, you will lose your soul forever."

1917 Bath Riots occurred in January 1917 at the Santa Fe Bridge between El Paso, Texas and Juárez, Mexico. The riots lasted from January 28 to January 30 and were sparked by new immigration policies at the El Paso–Juárez Immigration and Naturalization Service office, requiring Mexicans crossing the border to take de-lousing baths and be vaccinated. Reports of nude photography of women bathers and fear of potential fire from the kerosene baths led Carmelita Torres to refuse to submit to the procedure. Denied a refund of her transport fare, she began yelling at the officials and convinced other riders to join her. After three days, the discontent subsided, but the disinfections of Mexicans at the U. S. border continued for forty years. By 1914, Venustiano Carranza had been sworn into office as Mexico's head of state ending the main fighting of the Mexican Revolution. President Woodrow Wilson, tired of the fighting and more concerned with events unfolding in Europe and World War I, withdrew American forces from Mexico.

Pancho Villa continued to execute border skirmishes. Between 1915 and 1917, typhus spread from Mexico City to the provinces from Veracruz to Jalisco. In September 1916, Carranza called for a constitutional convention to end the conflict and bring peace to Mexico; the convention ended with the end of the riots, on January 31, 1917, subsequently the new constitution was signed on February 5. During the same period, Thomas Calloway Lea, Jr. was elected as the mayor of Texas. Lea sent telegrams to U. S. Senators in Washington demanding a quarantine be put in place to stem the tide of "dirty lousey destitute Mexicans" who would spread typhus into El Paso. Though the Public Health Service Officer for El Paso, Dr. B. J. Lloyd, admitted there was little danger and opposed a quarantine, he suggested opening de-lousing plants. U. S. officials adopted a policy of sanitizing Mexican immigrants at a disinfecting station in El Paso. The policy applied to all Mexicans entering the United States at El Paso, but soon spread to the Laredo–Nuevo Laredo crossing, as well as all along the U.

S. Mexico border. Men and women were separated, with any children accompanying the women, into separate buildings, where they were stripped of all clothing and valuables. Clothing and valuables were steamed, while items like shoes, hats or belts, which might be damaged by steam were exposed to cyanogen gas. Attendants examined the nude persons for lice; the officers conducting the strip searches were rumoured to have photographed the nude women and shared the photos to others at bars. If lice were found, men's hair was clipped close to the head and the clippings were burned. Women's hair was doused in a mixture of vinegar and kerosene, wrapped in a towel, left on the hair for at least 30 minutes. If re-inspection indicated all nits had not been removed, the process was repeated. Once attendants declared the lice test had been "passed", the naked people were gathered in a bathing area and sprayed with a liquid soap made of soap chips and kerosene oil. After collecting their sanitized clothing and dressing, incomers were evaluated by a foreman and given a certificate that they had completed the procedure.

From the disinfecting area, migrants entered the Immigration and Naturalization Service building for processing. Around 7:30 a.m. on January 28, 1917, the riot began when inspectors attempted to remove Mexican women from their trolley, which they were riding to work. Ordered to disembark and submit to the disinfection process, 17 year old Carmelita Torres refused, having heard reports that nude women were being photographed while in the baths. Reports had circulated that bathers might be set on fire, as had happened the previous year when gasoline baths at the El Paso City Jail had resulted in the death of 28 inmates when a cigarette ignited bathers, she was refused. She demanded a refund of her fare and upon refusal of a refund convinced the other women on her cable car to protest; the women began shouting and hurling stones at health and immigration officials and civilians, who had gathered to watch the disturbance. The majority of the early protesters were young, domestic workers employed in homes in El Paso but as the crowd grew to several thousand a mixture of people became involved.

Four trolley's which had made early morning runs to collect workers on the Juárez side were seized and did not return to the El Paso side until mid-afternoon. Around 10 o'clock, General Andrés G. García drove to the center of the bridge to try to quiet the mob and was only successful, as the mob tried to prevent his car from leaving the Mexican side. By the afternoon, when it was clear that those who had entered the baths were not being harmed, the crowds were dispersed by mounted soldiers on each side of the border. One cable car motorman and a mail coach driver were reported to have been beaten by rioters and several media movie makers were attacked. Despite rumors that someone had been shot, Mexican authorities denied the event and reported that no serious injuries resulted. On the 29th rioting continued, but this time, the majority of rioters were men. Newspapers reported that the men were taking advantage of the bath disturbance to protest the Carranza regime and voice support for his rival Pancho Villa.

Juárez Police Chief Maximo Torres ordered all rioters arrested and the Mexican cavalry dispersed the rioters from the bridge. Business owners and households who were without laborers consulted with the Chamber of Commerce to resolve the issues promptly as most workers refused to come to work. Officials clarified that those who were not infected could be passed without having to bathe

The group had five members: brothers Josh and Justin Engler, cousins Stevan and Dave Vela, Bryan Fowler, they signed onto ForeFront Records in late 2007 and released the Abandon EP in July 2008. Their first single "Providence" was released to radios in August and has reached No. 7 on R&R's Christian rock charts.

The record label's A&R manager Chris York discovered the band by hearing them play at a club next door to where York was at a restaurant with his wife. He says, "I was having dinner at a Mexican restaurant with my wife, she started to get frustrated with me because she could tell I wasn't paying full attention to our conversation; this was because I could hear a band playing live at the club next door, it sounded really good. I got in touch with the band and after we got to know each other, we knew it was a fit and started working together!"Abandon's initial ForeFront release, the Abandon EP, was released on July 22, 2008 and contains five tracks that will be released on their forthcoming studio album. Alternative rock song "Providence" and "All Because of You", which has a more contemporary style, were both released as radio singles on August 1, 2008.

The Temple of Elemental Evil is a 2001 fantasy novel by Thomas M. Reid, set in the world of Greyhawk, based on the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game the adventure T1-4 The Temple of Elemental Evil; the heroes entering the Temple seek to find a way to save the world from a demon struggling to escape captivity, an evil demigod working to gain control over the demon. This book was a novelization of the original T1-4 adventure, featured characters based on those that Reid and his friends had developed while playing the module as part of a Greyhawk campaign in college; the novel received both negative reviews. One common criticism was that the pacing felt rushed and that entire sections of the original module were not present in the novelization. For example, the characters in the novel do not spend time in the village of Nulb, the elemental "nodes" from the module's climax are missing from the novel. Reid has subsequently stated that these issues were caused by the 90,000 word limitation Wizards of the Coast enforced for the book, leading him to cut out significant sections of his initial draft.

Reviewing the novel for Science Fiction Chronicle, Don D'Ammassa wrote that although it is "not earthshaking", the story is "well paced and logically developed, there's some reasonably good characterization."
