Nigeria operates what is known as a double-decker marriage. Couples get married under the Marriage Act and traditional law and custom. It makes sense that when the marriage is about to be dissolved; it is done under both laws. The process begins with the family of the estranged couple meeting in her father's house. ADVERTISEMENT The guests are entertained with alcoholic beverages, food and kola. The cost of refreshments is borne by the woman and her family.

When Netflix announced that Bridgerton‘s breakout star Regé-Jean Page would not be returning for the show’s second season, fans were more than a little upset. It didn’t matter that Page was never destined to be the show’s leading man for long: in the Bridgerton book series, each new novel focuses on a different Bridgerton sibling. Page’s Duke of Hastings, who married Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) in the first season, would have been a background player at best in the second.

So perfectly was the mission executed that it amazed even the men responsible. At 2:08 a.m. Central European time, on June 8, Air Force Captain Scott O’Grady was sitting, as he had for six days, cold, hungry, hunted and alone in the hills of a strange country.

Even those who hate Picasso praise his undeniably charming inventiveness, not only in his craft, but in the way he presented himself; he did away with the grimy and tired artist’s smock by finding a shirt that worked as well on the street and on the beach as it did in the studio.

By dawn, the little (pop. 1,400) Long Island village of Bridgehampton was noisily abustle. By 6 a.m., ratchety Coopers, purring Allards and roaring Ferraris were already tuning up. By noon, three hours before the start of the big Bridgehampton Cup race, some 35,000 spectators lined the closed-course route. They craned at one of the three killing right-angle turns, or hurried down to the bridge where the cars jumped to a four-wheel takeoff.

In an interview with radio host Howard Stern in 2014, Grohl revealed that he had wanted to collaborate with Bowie — who died on Jan.

But as the only one on Netflix to have a season focused exclusively on queer couples, it marks a first for the streamer. The second season of the Love Is Blind sister show once again brings together a group of couples questioning their futures—and this time, the cast is made up entirely of women and nonbinary people.

By Lily Rothman Don Hamilton remembers the day well. This was back in 1966. He was 12 when a classmate asked him the question: “Does your father think that God is dead?” Hamilton had to admit that the answer was yes. Before long, another friend’s grandmother had started lobbying to have his father, William Hamilton, who was then a professor at Colgate Rochester Divinity School in Rochester, N.Y, fired. Rather than going to church, the family started doing Bible reading at home, on their own.

Whenever I’m feeling down about the world, I drink poison. Not quick-acting poison. The stuff with a greater half-life: The kind of sugary delights that boil down into sludge but in the moment get my heart thrumming. It’s a short-term fix that also may decrease my life’s longer term, so overall I will need fewer short-term fixes — you know, a win-win. It seems like America thinks I have the right idea.
