While people across the Kingdom bought flowers, exchanged love letters and went out to restaurants to celebrate Valentine’s Day last weekend, a group of Jordanians had a different take on the occasion.

One day after breaking up with his girlfriend, one 19-year-old Jordanian spent the eve of tiffany jewellery Valentine’s Day dancing at a cafe.

The bachelor was one of more than 300 singles attending an “Anti-Valentine’s” party, which organisers said targeted “lonely singles” in the Kingdom at a time when most other establishments restrict entry to couples.

“We ended our relationship yesterday due to certain issues, so I came to this party tonight alone,” he told The Jordan Times, requesting to remain unnamed.

The young man added that although he enjoys being single he wanted to celebrate the holiday.

Not being in a relationship is no reason to shun Valentine’s Day, according to party organiser DJ Flava.

“This party is for singles so they don’t feel lonely on the Valentine’s Day,” he told The Jordan Times silver cufflinks, adding that “all parties on this day are usually designated for couples only,” excluding those who are without a date.

Flava explained that the dance party aimed to celebrate singlehood, hosting black balloons instead of the traditional red ones, in a sign of an anti-Valentine sentiment.

“I don’t celebrate for the sake of Valentine, I celebrate for myself,” said Leen, a 19-year-old party goer.

Also on Friday, youth at the Saint John De La Salle School in Jabal Hussein hosted a silver money clips Valentine’s Day party without restricting entry to couples, an event the organiser said was for all people, regardless of relationship status.

Valentine’s Day is celebrated across the world on February 14.

Although stories vary, some legends state the holiday dates back to the reign of third century Roman Emperor Claudius II who banned marriage for young men as he thought celibacy would make his forces better soldiers.

Despite the ban, Christian preacher Valentine continued to facilitate marriages between young men and women, and was later arrested and executed by the Roman emperor.

Before being executed, one version of the story claims that Saint Valentine passed a letter to a woman he was in love with, the world’s first valentine.

A suspect police believed snatched a young girl from a Centreville tiffany jewelry elementary school Tuesday while wearing an electronic-monitoring bracelet remained in custody Wednesday afternoon.

Police said the man is on parole for another crime, but would not elaborate. After entering the school through a door that had been left ajar, the suspect told the girl, who he’d found drinking from a water fountain, that a teacher wanted to see her outside, police said.

The suspect also is accused of attempting to sexually assault the child. A witness saw him lying on top of the girl on the ground outside the school building near the Dumpsters.

Police were not releasing the identity of the 20-year-old suspect pending charges, Centreville Police Detective Kiwan Guyton said. Police expect to complete their investigation and send the case today to the St. Clair County State’s Attorney, he said.

The girl was kidnapped from Lalumier Elementary School at 6702 Bond Ave. at 2:32 p.m. Tuesday.

The man entered the school through a door off the gym/cafeteria, went through the multi-silver cufflinks purpose room and approached the girl in a hallway, Cahokia School District 187 Superintendent Jana Bechtoldt said.

“Obviously we’re very distraught over this situation,” Bechtoldt said. “Our policy is to have all the doors in the school building locked during the school day except for one door by the office. Unfortunately, in this instance, the door was locked but the door was slightly ajar. The last person that had either entered or exited that door did not make sure the door was latched. The door was locked, but it didn’t shut all the way. The doors were apparently out of alignment.”

The door was repaired Wednesday to ensure it will close automatically, Bechtoldt said. All other doors throughout the school building were being checked Wednesday to ensure they all closed fully.

Lalumier has about 370 students in kindergarten through fifth grade.

The suspect approached the girl as she was getting a drink from a water fountain and told her a teacher wanted to see her outside.

“She went outside with him,” Bechtoldt said. “She was just doing what she thought she was supposed to do.”

Guyton said the mother of the 7-year-old girl called police when her daughter came home crying and in silver money clips disarray. He added that the girl did not know her kidnapper.

“We were advised that the young man came into the building and possibly took one student out,” Guyton said. ” We caught him a short time later.”

Police arrested the suspect in the 6900 block of Missouri Avenue.

A man from a nearby apartment complex saw the two and shouted at the man. The man took off on foot, and the girl ran home

“I knew something was wrong when my daughter came home without her coat and book bag. She ran home to me,” the child’s mother said.

The child’s mother is not being identified because her daughter is the victim of a sex crime and identifying the mother could also identify the child. The News-Democrat does not identify victims of sex crimes.

“He took my baby outside. He was lying on her. Somebody saw him lying on her and yelled at him and scared him. He got off of her. The man who saw him told my baby to run home,” the mother said.

The mother said she wants the suspect “to stay in jail so he has no chance of doing what he did again silver pendants. He might harm somebody else’s child,” she said.

The mother said her daughter was so upset she had to calm her down.

The child was not injured during the kidnapping and attempted assault and was not taken to a doctor.

“I just thank God for protecting my baby. God is good. God is always good,” the mother said.

She said she is unsure whether she will allow her child to return to Lalumier.

School officials reviewed security policies and are considering several options to beef up security at the school, Bechtoldt said.

“We are looking at adding 17 new video cameras in the building so all the doors, entrances and hallways can be monitored continuously throughout the day,” Bechtoldt said. “We are also looking at the possibility of having all the doors locked during the day and having everybody buzzed in and out of the school. I know it won’t be very popular with some parents, but it’s something we are looking at to protect our children.”

Social workers were at the school throughout the day to meet with children and parents and discuss any fears or concerns following the incident.

The government of United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence issued the following news buy tiffany release:

As the season of good will is nearly upon us, the British public are being urged to help the forces as much as possible by refraining from sending Christmas parcels to troops in Afghanistan.

Soldiers serving in theatre are literally being overwhelmed by support from the British public who generously post unsolicited parcels, putting a massive strain on the Forces Post Office in Camp Bastion, resulting in packages from friends and family taking longer to reach the intended recipients.

Many of the parcels are addressed to chaplains who have long left theatre, but whose legacy continues. The intention is that the current generation of padres will distribute the parcels to troops on the front line.

Padre Richard Downes, who is the British chaplain at Camp Bastion, said:

“The Enduring Families Free Mail Service enables families and close friends of Service personnel to silver money clips send packages out to theatre. While such unsolicited parcels are without doubt popular with recipients, the all-important personal mail from soldiers’ families becomes significantly delayed.

“Occasionally the perceived needs of recipients have become somewhat confused, as one chaplain discovered to his dismay when he opened a welfare parcel addressed to him personally, but which contained amongst other things a glossy pin-up calendar!”

Only a small fraction of the unsolicited parcels make it to the front line, the rest are processed by staff in Camp Bastion and the contents held in storage in welfare rest areas and churches until they can be sent on.

Some of the contents, including toiletry items, lie untouched for months at a time and one chaplain reported that he had 70 brand new toothbrushes in the back of his church in a Forward Operating Base (FOB).

In response to the growing problem, the Ministry of Defence is working with the forces charity SSAFA silver pendants to enable generous members of the public to donate money to the charity as an alternative to sending parcels.

The Operational Welfare Fund is focused on providing support direct to the front line and enables commanders on the ground to bid for those items which they know will boost the troops’ morale.

Padre Downes said:

“The postal service puts on a massive extra push at Christmas and put extra flights on to get the stuff here. But getting the mail out to the FOBs also takes longer, as mail must fit in around operational transport priorities.

“I thank the British public for their support but I would ask that they keep the pressure off the postal system silver earrings over the Christmas period. The British military are a generous bunch and the troops will always share with those whose parcels may have been held up.”For more information please contact: Sarabjit Jagirdar, Email:- htsyndication@hindustantimes.com.

The small saturnian moon Daphnis, orbiting within Saturn’s tiffany rings, creates towering vertical structures in the otherwise flat rings. NASA’s Cassini spacecraft recently photographed the shadows of these structures as Saturn approached its August equinox.

At the equinox, the rings turn edge-on to the Sun. This rare geometry – it happens only twice during each 29.5-Earth-year saturnian orbit causes any structures that lie just outside the ring plane to cast long shadows across the rings. Cassinis cameras easily capture these shadows.

The lengths of the observed shadows indicate that these structures reach as silver cufflinks high as 0.9 mile (1.5 kilometers) above the rings. This is as much as 1 50 times higher than the rings‘ thickness. Saturn’s main rings – dubbed A, B, and C – measure only about 33 feet (10 meters) thick.

John Weiss of the Space Science Institute in Boulder, Colorado, and his colleagues showed how gravitational effects from the 5-mile-wide (8 km) moon Daphnis create these structures. The small moon orbits inside the 26-mile-wide (42 km) Keeler Gap in the outer A ring. The team published its results in the July AstronomicalJournal.

The researchers found that Daphnis, which has an elliptical orbit inclined slightly to the ring plane, can silver money clips raise vertical ring structures when it comes close to the gap’s edges. And that’s what Cassini found. “We thought that this vertical structure was pretty neat when we first saw it in our simulations,” says Weiss. “But it’s a million times cooler to have your theory supported by such gorgeous images.” – R.
