demic, as demonstrated by Club Pro Adult Entertainment in Toronto, Ontario. Toronto Sun reported that shutdowns nearly destroyed the strip club — until owner Teresa Marciano and her staff came up with another idea.

Reported- ly, the couple believed their romantic relationship was threatened by their differing religions, so Rahman settled her in a locked spare bed- room in his parents’ home, where she spent the next decade watching a small TV using headphones.

The new venture, Stiff Shafts, turns the former club’s parking lot into a driv- ing range where golfers can aim their shots at caricatures of prominent politicians. Bar- tenders and waitstaff will re- turn to provide food and drink to customers, and the dancers will be caddies.
Crocs went on sale less than 20 years ago, but they’re already experiencing a “re- naissance,” according to The

Happily Ever After
A woman known only as Sajitha from Kerala, India, disappeared in 2010, when she was just 18 years old, reported Newsweek. But about three months ago, the mystery of her disappear- ance began to come to light. Sajitha had left her home 11 years ago and walked just
