_iranian-mma-fighter-kicks-a-ring-girl-in-the-derriere-and-has-been-banned-for-life.webp "An MMA star has been handed a lifetime ban from the Hard Fighting Championship after kicking a ring girl before his about over the weekend.<br/><br/>Iranian fighter Ali Heibati faced Arkady Osipyan at the Hardcore MMA tournament in Moscow on Friday night.<br/><br/>Before the fight had even underway, Heibati bizarrely stepped forward and kicked a ring girl in the derriere as she walked past holding up a card signaling that the opening round was about to start.<br/><br/>The woman turned around and was taken aback by Heibati's behavior, approaching him to voice her disapproval before the referee stepped in to keep them apart and appeared to warn Heibati about his conduct.<br/><br/>The fight was allowed to start moments later, but it was a short contest as Osipyan secured victory by technical knockout in the first round.<br/><br/>His win was confirmed by the referee waving off the fight with just over 30 seconds left in the round as he determined Heibati was in no position to defend himself.<br/><br/>As the referee walked Osipyan back to his corner, Heibati rose to his feet and started attacking his opponent, landing multiple cheap shots while his back was turned.<br/><br/>He was quickly pulled away and several people got into the cage to separate the two men while they awaited the official verdict.<br/><br/>The drama wasn't over there, as the two fighters took the microphone inside the cage afterward.<br/><br/>Heibati seemed annoyed by something that was said to him and aimed another kick, this time at head height toward a commentator, before exchanging angry words with the man.<br/><br/>Further footage has emerged of Heibati then getting attacked by members of the crowd following his bout as he was pushed over some chairs and took several blows to the head.<br/><br/>Following his shameful actions, Heibati took to social media to apologize to the ring girl named Maria.<br/><br/>'Hello everyone. This is for Maria. I didn't act right with her. The reason was that before the MMA fight, there were a lot of fistfights. I stayed there in the cage and I just wanted to go out and fight,' he said. <br/><br/>'I was tense and, as most understand, emotions flourish in the fight, so before the fight, I acted badly towards María.<br/><br/>'I want to publicly apologize to her. I am a married man, so I respect the female gender. She was doing her job and I, after the fight, didn't admit my guilt either, because they also hit me on the head. Tell María that I am sorry.'<br/><br/>Despite his apology, Heibati has still been hit with a lifetime ban from HFC. <br/><br/>He is not the first MMA star to lose his job after outrageous behavior inside the cage Brazilian youngster Igor Severino was cut from the UFC last month for biting his opponent on his debut with the organization.<br/><br/>Severino took a chunk out of his fellow Brazilian Andre Lima's arm and was disqualified before losing his job, and he subsequently revealed that he received death threats following his behavior.")

_mindfulness-the-key-to-well-being.webp "Ever feel like your mind's a whirlwind? Here's a quick tip: mindfulness and meditation. These practices are not just for monks on mountaintops. They're for everyone, including you sports enthusiasts out there. <br/><br/>Mindfulness is about being present. It's about focusing on the here and now. No yesterday's touchdowns, no tomorrow's races. Just this moment. Meditation, it's like a workout for your mind. Regular practice can reduce stress, improve focus, and enhance overall well-being. And you don't need to sit cross-legged on a cushion. <br/><br/>A simple walk in the park, focusing on your breath, or even the sensation of your feet hitting the ground, that's meditation. Remember, it's not about achieving perfection. It's about practicing. Even two minutes a day can make a big difference. And who knows? It might just give you that extra edge in your game.<br/>So, why not give mindfulness and meditation a shot? They could be your secret weapons to sustaining motivation and boosting performance.<br/>")

_the-murder-of-little-mary-phagan-vanessa-neubauer-part-5-of-13.webp "The most important details of Leo Frank's defense were the inconsistencies in his testimony. Jim Conley testified that Mary Phagan had arrived at the Pencil factory before Monte Stover, but the motor, man and conductor of the trolley asserted that she had gotten off at 12:10. Most witnesses agreed that it would have taken at least one half hour for the murder and movement of the body to the seller, the writing of the murder notes and Conley's hiding in the wardrobe to occur. However, there were only 30 minutes between 12:00 and 1230 that Frank's time was not accounted for. The defense called more than 20 witnesses to corroborate Frank's version of when the murder happened, where Frank had been, and at what time.<br/><br/>The first two witnesses, W.H. Matthews, motorman, and W.T. Hollis, conductor of the English Avenue car, testified that Mary Phagan got on at Lindsay Street at about 1150 and was alone. Herbert Schiff, assistant superintendent of the Pencil factory, testified to the system of business, the preparation of the financial sheet, the procedure for paying off employees and how the pencils are made. Miss Maddie Hall Stenographer from Montague testified that she finished her work, left around twelve two and punched the clock, and that Frank did not make up the financial sheet that Saturday morning. Miss Corinthia Hall swore that she was the four lady for the factory and got there Saturday around 11:30 a.m. with Mrs. Emma Clark Freeman. Miss Magnolia Kennedy swore that she was behind Helen Ferguson and Helen Ferguson did not ask for Mary Phagan's pay envelope. On cross examination, she stated that Barrett called her attention to the hair and her machine was right next to Mary's. Mary's hair was a light brown sandy color and she did not see the blood spots on the floor. Wade Campbell, another employee, was the brother of Mrs. White who told him about seeing the Negro on Saturday.<br/><br/>Lemme Quinn, foreman of the factory, testified that 100 women worked at the factory. He noticed the blood spots at the lady's dressing room on Monday and was in the office and saw Mr. Frank between 1220 and 1225. Several witnesses later testified that Quinn advised them he had visited Frank prior to noon in the factory the Saturday of the murder. Harry Denham, one of the carpenters on the fourth floor, testified that he was hammering about 40 feet from the elevator on April 26. Minola McKnight, the cook for the Seligs, testified that she worked for Mrs. Selig and cooked breakfast for the family on April 26.<br/><br/>Mr. Frank finished breakfast a little after 07:00 and came to dinner about 20 minutes after one. Her husband, Albert McKnight, wasn't in the kitchen that day between one and 02:00. Mr. Frank left that day sometime after 02:00 and next saw him at 06:30 at supper. She left about 08:00 and Mr. Frank was still at home when she left.<br/><br/>")
