Mukhlis bin Muhammad, 46, was from the Aceh Ulema Council (MPU) which advises the implementation of strict Islamic sharia law in the conservative region of the world’s most populous Muslim country. After officials caught him and a married woman in a car parked near a tourist beach, he was flogged 28 times in public on Thursday and expelled from the MPU, according to the BBC. He is the first religious leader to face such a punishment since the strict Islamic laws were introduced into the Aceh region in 2005, where those caught engaging in gay sex and gambling can also be caned....

Spontaneity is not completely off the table, however. When an INFJ feels comfortable, they will be more willing to try new things....

You know this, of course, because you watch the game, and the increase is impossible to miss. Through games of Sept. 6, teams are averaging 1.168 home runs per game. That’s second in the history of baseball. The record was set in 2000, at 1.172 homers per contest. Yeah.
