BBC Doc Proves Jesus Was A Buddhist Monk.

From the age of 13 to 29 there is no Biblical, record of Jesus‘s whereabouts or activities in Palestine. Known as “The Lost Years,” this gap remained a mystery until one explorer’s remarkable discovery in 1887.

In the late 19th century a Russian doctor, Nicolas Notovitch traveled extensively throughout India, Tibet, and Afghanistan. He documented his experiences and discoveries in his 1894 book The Unknown Life of Christ.  It was here where monks showed Notovitch two large yellowed volumes of a document written in Tibetan, entitled The Life of Saint Issa. During his time at the monastery, Notovitch translated the document which tells the true story of a child named Jesus (i.e. Issa = “son of God”) born in the first century to a poor family in Israel. Jesus was referred to as “the son of God” by the Vedic scholars who tutored him in the sacred Buddhist texts from the age of 13 to 29. Notovitch translated 200 of the 224 verses from the document.

During his time at the monastery in 1887, one lama explained to Notovitch the full scope and extreme level of enlightenment that Jesus had reached. “Issa [Jesus] is a great prophet, one of the first after the twenty-two Buddhas,” the lama tells Notovitch.

BREAKING: Bill Clinton Love Child Danney Williams Found Dead.

Danney Williams, the child of Bill Clinton, was found dead in his garage this morning of what looks like suicide. Williams was in his car with the windows open in a closed garage. The car had apparently run out of gas as the coroner says he was dead for weeks before he was discovered.

The local sheriff has ruled the case a suicide after finding no signs of foul play or forced entry. A typed suicide note was found at the scene that just said, “Tell my mom I’m sorry.” That note, which had no fingerprints on it whatsoever, was the one thing the sheriff did say that made the case a little bit suspicious:

Very Sad: Teachers found pounding fufu during teaching hours

Eight teachers who were found pounding fufu during school hours have been queried for preparing Fufu on the premises of their school, after which they failed to teach students as they were practically dazed by the heavy meal. They have officially written letters apologizing for their action.

They  are all teachers of the Amanhia M/A Basic school, who were queried by the Akuapim North Municipal Director of Education, Grace Owusua Addo.

“It is indeed true the said teachers were queried, they are 8 in number and they have written officially to apologize for pounding fufu during school hours, they have also written undertaking to that effect.”

“I believe going forward we will all know that we are guided by rules; so this act will serve as a deterrent for other teachers who in future want to also pound fufu in school.”

Wow! Thirteen of the highlights in London Fashion Week:

A round-up of some of the weird and wonderful outfits to have come out of this season's London Fashion Week.

Mary Katrantzou was inspired by 1940s Disney film Fantasia in her latest collection, which saw many of the outfits explode with fantasy and colour. She said the movie "allowed me to dream"

London Fashion Week is taking place, focusing on autumn/winter collections for next year. Canadian model Winnie Harlow, who has the skin condition vitiligo, walked the runway for British designer Julien Macdonald in one of his black gowns with cut-outs at the waist.

Fearne Cotton took to the catwalk to model an all-white PVC outfit for Pam Hogg's autumn/winter collection.

Sisters GiGi and Bella Hadid both walked the runway for the Versus Versace, modeling outfits which had a futuristic look with elements of grunge

The audience squeezed themselves into a narrow corridor for JW Anderson's show, which saw a huge array of styles, from ostrich feathers mixed with silk florals to shiny metalic dresses.

The team behind Ports 1961, who also unveiled their autumn/winter collection, all trained at Central Saint Martins - one of the most famous fashion schools in the world.

You may remember Roland Mouret as the designer who came up with the famous Galaxy dress in 2005, which went on to be worn by the likes of Victoria Beckham and Cameron Diaz. He made a triumphant return to LFW to unveil his 20th-anniversary collection - an homage to his design work so far.

One recurring theme so far this week has been gender fluidity. We've seen men modelling what would traditionally be seen as women's wear and vice versa. Many of the clothing brands have been designed to be deliberately unisex or androgynous. Outfits by Oliver Thame (left) and Robert Sanders were particularly noted for their lack of gender constraints

The Topshop Unique collection had mix-and-match flavour, with the press notes at the event describing the colourful women's outfits as "kaleidoscopic

Five models aged between 47 and 65 staged a protest against the lack of age diversity on the catwalk. Retailer JD Williams supported the protest, which took place on The Strand.

There was one designer who could certainly not be accused of ageism - Simone Rocha. The Irish designer included several models in their seventies in her autumn/winter show

 Saturday morning didn't deter the audience for Hussein Chalayan's show. The designer hasn't shown a collection in London for more than 15 years.

It wasn't all about the outfits on the catwalk, however, as bags took centre stage at the Mulberry

A 7-year-old applied to Google asking for a job—here's how the CEO responded

A seven-year-old Chloe Bridgewater, who lives in Hereford, UK, wrote a letter to Google asking for a job.

"After seeing images of Google offices with their bean bags, go-karts and slides my 7-year-old daughter decided to write to Google to see if they would give her a job," Andy Bridgewater writes on LinkedIn.

Bridgewater provided CNBC with the original letter, addressed to "google boss": Like a skilled job seeker, Chloe discusses her own qualifications ("I like computers") and explains why she believes she would be a good fit for the company and provides references: 

"My teachers tell my mum and dad that I am very good in class and am good at my spelling, reading, and my sums."

The letter caught the eye of Google's CEO Sundar Pichai, who wrote back with encouragement: "I think if you keep working hard and following your dreams, you can accomplish everything you set your mind to — from working at Google to swimming in the Olympics.

"I look forward to receiving your job application when you are finished with school!"
