It was the first Continental Congress that initially declared a National Day of Prayer in 1775 establishing a long standing tradition.
In 1863 President Lincoln signed a proclamation that designated April 30th of that year as a day of national humiliation, fasting and prayer.
On April 17, 1952, Congress unanimously passed a joint resolution signed by President Truman establishing the annual National Day of Prayer by federal law.
Public Law 82-324 declared that a National Day of Prayer would be held on a suitable day each year other than a Sunday.
In 1988, the U.S. Senate and the House of Representatives amended the 1952 law by passing Public Law 100-307 to provide for setting aside the first Thursday in May as the date which is the National Day of Prayer. That act was signed by President Reagan.
If ever there was the need for a time of prayer in America it is today. In Isaiah chapter 1, Isaiah's vision is described and although it deals with Judah and Jerusalem, verse 4 echos where America is today: 'Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the Lord, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.'
In light of this, Jim asked listeners to present their answers to the following 3 questions:
--My greatest prayer for the nation is...
--My greatest prayer for the church is...
--My greatest prayer for my family is...

Racing games are always appealing to all ages, but for children, they are boundless spells. Competitive games for children allow them to enjoy the speed of their time without having to worry about them causing an accident. Competitive games for children have been available for offline versions of computer games and video games since the early days. With the release of online games, racing games for children have grown to a whole new level of interactivity and enjoyment.
It's possible that you can choose from a variety of online racing games for kids. There are some games that compete with small bikes, either with trucks or spaceships. Competition games then go to advanced models such as those where you can control the vehicle to the core and customize the graphics and update it by purchasing parts. These online racing games for kids need to plan their play on the conditions of finances and the strategic conditions of competition and victory. This way, you will know that while the children satisfy their bodies, their brains have enough latitude.
The children's competition game has been specifically designed to keep in mind the ability, learning curve and reaction time they can deliver. All in all, these games are concentrated and categorized according to age groups. Games for kids are usually funny graphics, they do not mean much glitch and blow, the vehicle simpler. For early teens, the games focus a little more on the better reaction time and include the first elements of the strategy in competition and pitstop where vehicle upgrades are available.
Online racing games are suitable for children is a quite simple task. You can play the game yourself to find out if the kids are able to handle the game or not. You can try any kind of experiment, especially if you want to know that there is not much blood and bad in the game. If you do not have much time to play the game before allowing your children to play, read the information that is attached to the game. This tells about the age groups that the game is up to and the game is a key trick.


The treatment process patients with tubular breasts undergo will be dependent on the severity of their condition. An experienced plastic surgeon will be able to determine which form of treatment is necessary. The optimal goal for Gainesville plastic surgeons is to expand the lower breast tissue, balance the size and shape between breasts, reduce the size of the areola, lower the inframammary fold and create a natural breast shape.
Many people believe tuberous breast syndrome can be corrected with traditional breast augmentation or breast implants. Breast augmentation Gainesville, FL procedures are helpful for mild cases but it is not as effective for severe cases because it does not alter the way in which the breast tissue is compressed.
A donut mastopexy can be helpful in most circumstances because it enhances the actual contour of the breast. During this procedure, a donut shaped amount of skin from the areola is removed to improve the appearance of the areola and frees up the underlying breast tissue so it can form a more natural breast shape.
If you need significant results, you may need a surgery performed in multiple stages. Patients who have little skin under their breasts will need to have an expander inserted, which will gradually expand the skin. During the second part of the surgery, your Gainesville plastic surgery specialist will perform a mastopexy, perform an augmentation and internal scoring, which weakens the tight tissue at the base of your breast.
Your recovery following corrective breast surgery is dependent on the type of procedures that were performed. Typically, patients can expect to experience minor discomfort for about three to four days and will have to miss work for about one or two weeks. Patients may also need to wear a surgical support bra for one week and abstain from any physical activity.
Women who suffer from tuberous breast syndrome may experience issues with low self esteem and dissatisfaction with their breasts. However, with the right plastic surgeon, you can regain confidence and satisfaction in your body. It is vital that you choose a plastic surgeon who knows how to treat tuberous breast syndrome or your results will be less that satisfactory. Whether you need breast implants in Gainesville, FL, or another type of corrective breast surgery, Dr. Richard Nesmith and Dr. Brad Nesmith have plenty of training and experience to provide you with a preferred outcome and help to hide any scars.

What To Do When Emergency Resuscitation Is Unwanted
In the past decade advance directives have become widespread and, at the same time, widely accepted. In fact, almost every state has adopted legislation specifically recognizing both medical powers of attorney and "living wills." In 1992, the Arizona legislature adopted a progressive, far-reaching law on the subject.
As a result of the adoption of the 1992 law, there is no longer any doubt that both living wills and health care powers of attorney are valid in Arizona. Gone are any requirements that a person be terminally ill before such documents are valid. The law even recognizes that most people do not sign health care directives, and provides a mechanism for family members (and, in some cases, friends or other interested persons) to make most medical decisions for incapacitated patients.
Arizona law even goes one step further. It attempts to deal with one of the most difficult problems in administering advance medical directives–the response of emergency medical personnel.
Emergency medical technicians (EMTs, including paramedics) have a vital but narrow mission. They exist precisely to resuscitate patients in emergency situations, without stopping to question the patient's history or preferences. A patient who wishes to be allowed to die peacefully is likely not to want the aggressive, sometimes even violent, treatment associated with resuscitation. In fact, some people note that the outcome of resuscitation (particularly with elderly and frail patients) is often more debilitating than the original illness or condition.
EMTs, however, correctly note that their mission is to act quickly in literal life-and-death circumstances. They do not have time to pause, ask questions of nearby family members, and review documents. They must be prepared to take decisive action in all cases.
For many years, family members of the terminally ill have been advised to avoid the problem by simply not calling on the emergency medical system. Unfortunately for that approach, the use of "911" and other emergency notification systems has become ubiquitous, and family members have a very difficult time watching even a terminally ill loved one perish without making the emergency call. Furthermore, there are many patients who are not terminally ill, but who nonetheless would not like to undergo resuscitation.
Arizona's law tackles this problem with a separate kind of advance directive, called a Prehospital Medical Care Directive. When completed, signed and witnessed, it directs EMTs not to resuscitate even if they are called to the scene. Because it is a very potent document, and because EMTs do not have time to read individual documents, it must be in precisely the form set out by the law. It must also be on orange paper, must be signed by a medical provider (who certifies that he or she has advised the patient that lack of resuscitation could lead to death) and must include a description or picture of the patient.
The Prehospital Medical Care Directive is a unique approach to the problem of unwanted emergency resuscitation. Only one other state (Montana) has adopted a similar approach. A number of states have recently approved "Do Not Resuscitate" (DNR) orders. Unlike the DNR legislation in other states, however, the Arizona/Montana approach makes it clear that the decision is the patient's, not the physician's, and permits even healthy patients who fear or disapprove of emergency resuscitation to effectively make their wishes known.
Reports from EMTs indicate that the Prehospital Medical Care Directive law has worked. For a copy of the directive, or the relevant section of Arizona law, contact FLEMING & CURTI at (520) 622-0400. Remember that the directive must be on orange paper to be effective.

MarkitSERV, the electronic trade processing service for over-the-counter (OTC) derivative transactions, has seen a surge in user numbers as it ups its connections to multiple clearinghouses to help the swaps industry comply with the first US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) mandate, effective 11 March, to centrally clear OTC derivatives.
Institutions categorised under CFTC rules as swap dealers, major swap participants or active funds are required to centrally clear several types of interest rate swaps (in four currencies) and certain credit default swap (CDS) index trades under the new post-crash rules starting 11 March, with the intention of increasing transparency.
MarkitSERV attracted a total of 148 buy-side firms and swaps dealers in February ahead of the regulatory deadline, who used it to match and process approximately 190,000 cleared OTC swap trades. These transactions included nearly 9,000 cleared buy-side trades (transactions in which at least one party is not a clearinghouse member).
The electronic trade processing service provides a single point of connectivity for swap market participants to route trades to eight major clearinghouses that are registered with the CFTC (or have registration pending) as derivatives clearing organisations (DCOs) for OTC credit and rates products and also provides trade parties with real-time updates of clearing registration status and clearing broker take-up.
MarkitSERV automatically determines for trade parties whether a trade is subject to mandatory clearing based on Regulation 50.4 (which defines which classes of swaps must clear), Regulation 50.25 (which defines the compliance schedule for swap market participants) and the MarkitSERV database of counterparty jurisdictions. MarkitSERV also supports mandatory and voluntary real-time trade reporting and reporting of primary economic terms for both cleared and non-cleared trades.
The CTFC-registered DCOs to which MarkitSERV is connected are: CME, ICE Clear Credit, ICE Clear Europe, LCH.Clearnet LLC (SwapClear US), LCH.Clearnet Ltd (SwapClear UK), and Options Clearing Corp (OCC). MarkitSERV is also connected to Eurex Clearing AG and LCH.Clearnet SA (CDSClear), both of which have DCO registrations pending with the CFTC. The service connects to 12 clearing houses worldwide.

You may have heard about the re-launch of La Palina, "a storied cigar brand famously linked to the early and fortuitous beginnings of CBS Broadcasting." In recent weeks its revival has been covered by the likes of Cigar Aficionado, the Wall Street Journal, and others (including an ad on this web magazine).
La Palina is being brought back to life by Bill Paley, grandson of the founder of the Congress Cigar Company. The outfit dates back to 1896. La Palina was its flagship brand, marketed over radio waves—hence the connection to CBS.
I am told that W. Curtis Draper in Washington and Davidoff of Geneva in New York are the first two La Palina retailers. The brand is expected to be available nationwide soon.
StogieGuys.com is pleased to announce that we have secured two pairs of tickets to the exclusive La Palina re-launch on Thursday. The event, held at Morton's in Washington, DC, will feature cocktails, canapés, and La Palina cigars. It will run from 6:30-8:30pm.
To be entered for your chance to win a pair of tickets, simply leave a comment on this article that reads: "Get me to La Palina." All eligible comments received before midnight will be entered into a random drawing. Two winners will be selected, each receiving two tickets.
As a courtesy to your fellow StogieGuys.com readers, please enter only once and only if you can make the event. You're all on the honor system. Also, please be sure to include a valid email address so we can contact you if you win. Good luck!
$20 for a stubby little robusto mutt? Come on. I know it's an inaugural edition and all, and maybe I'm just not the target consumer, but this reminds me of the Virginia wine market – overpriced and underaged.
Get me to La Palina!
Dave, I smoked a pre-release version back in September or so, and it was fantastic. Was it a $19 cigar? Almost. I'd pay in the $12-15 range for it.
Get me to La Palina!!
Get me to La Palina… hope to see you guys there.
Get me to La Palina…can't wait for the event!
Get me to La Palina can't wait!
Get met to La Palina!
That may be the only way I'll get to smoke them at $19 a stick. Curious to see how well this old brand can be resurrected though.
"Get me to La Palina.". Word for word, and if I don't win hope whoever does enjoys the smokes!
Can't wait to visit Draper's and check these out.
I would bring my wife to this as well…except she's pregnant with our first child. So, there hasn't been a lot of smoking around the house as of late!!
Hope to see you fella there.
Get me to La Palina, please.
Looking forward to meeting the winners and giving them some extra stogies. Visit our site lapalinacigars.com for more info. Keep reading Stogie Guys.
Get me to La Palina.
Hell yes, get me to La Palina!
The winners Charlie and David have been selected at random using http://www.random.org and they've been contacted.

Q: WatchOS 2 best practice for storing/retrieving data Is there a best practice for quickly storing and retrieving data on the watch? As a hypothetical, imagine a grocery list. Each time the wrist goes down the app stops. When the user raises their wrist we need to reload the app's state (and our grocery list) quickly into memory. Is CoreData overkill? Is NSUserDefaults good enough?

A: It depends on how much data you are storing. NSUserDefaults has a limit on how much you can store in it. I am using CoreDate in my watchkit app and performance has been great. I would recommend if you are storing a small amount of data then NSUserDefaults would be fine, otherwise look into CoreData.

In a perfect world, we'd all wear sweats and comfy t-shirts for the duration of the second and third-trimesters. Alas, that isn't an option for working women who need a wardrobe worthy of their professional status.
The following tips will help you curate a maternity wardrobe that's both stylish and comfortable (a key to surviving the full pregnancy term!) – and that will bide your time through the postpartum body should if you plan to return to work.
The good news is you have time to transition your wardrobe from pre-pregnancy to full-blown maternity. Odds are you have some blouses that can expand without affecting their look and cut so pull those to the forefront. As for pants, I recommend investing in a Bella Band ASAP.
The Bella Band allows you to wear your favorite button-zip, pants, jeans and skirts – long after you've had to unbutton and unzip. It hugs your belly snug enough to hold the waistband up – without causing discomfort or compromising your sweet baby in any way. The Bella Band also allows you to get into your favorite jeans sooner, rather than later, after the baby is born.
Maternity clothes can be expensive, and it's frustrating to spend money on clothes you'll only wear when your pregnant – which typically occurs once or a few times in a lifetime. If you're worried about how to budget for maternity clothes, whilst also spending money on clothing and must-have items for your new baby, online consignment shops are a godsend.
The combination of great prices, and the ability to sell clothes back again when you're done, makes consignment/used maternity clothing sites a smart place to shop.
Once your baby is born, you'll realize the value of buying clothes s/he will grow into. Your quest for maternity clothes offers the opportunity to practice that "buy-up" mentality. Your belly will continue to grow until the day your baby is born. Plus, thighs, hips and breasts expand along with it – so buying clothes that grow with you ensures your comfort – and increases the amount of time you'll be able to wear them.
First-timers often get so excited to buy maternity clothes that they buy a bunch all at once. This can mean a closet full of maternity clothes that are too small by Month 6/7 or that don't keep you warm or cool enough if you didn't think ahead in terms of seasons and climate.
Your best bet is to purchase professional maternity clothes as you need them. If you can't resist the urge to buy them all now, refer back to #3 (clothes that grow with you), project the expanding sizes you'll need between now and Month 9 and think about your need for heavier- or lighter- materials you'll prefer as the months and seasons fly by.
There are plenty of tailored maternity clothes available, but do pay attention to breathability as pregnancy can mean you run hot to cold – or vice versa – more often than you do now. You want clothes that breathe when you're hot and won't trap perspiration.
If you're someone who prefers tighter, tailored clothing – this is a good time to explore your looser, and more flowy side. Skin can get itchy (especially around the breasts, belly, hips and thighs) and tight-fitting clothes exacerbate that.
Do you have professional friends who have been pregnant before and plan to be pregnant again? Odds are they'll be happy to let you borrow their professional maternity wardrobe stash. The combination of a few staple maternity items (black/grey/brown pants and versatile tops – for example), and a few choice picks from friends' maternity collections, may be all you need to complete your workday wardrobe.
There are a handful of reputable companies that rent maternity clothes for a monthly charge or tiered- subscription. Not only is this a price-conservative way to go about it, it's also great for those who have limited storage space when you no longer need the clothes.
Rental options also allow you to find unique, designer and ultra-chic professional options for a fraction of the price of a permanent purchase.
Good luck on your quest for comfortable, affordable and stylish professional maternity clothes. In the meantime, are you interested in hiring a professional and experienced maternity and newborn photographer? Schedule a booking with Lemonshoots. In addition to priceless images that capture the magic of your moment, I provide gorgeous maternity gowns so you don't have to buy a thing!

13 Types Of Beer Glasses: A Detailed Guide To Beer Glass Sizes
April 19 2020 , by Randy Woodward
Even with the number of beer types worldwide, drinkers seem to agree on one thing - it is best served in a beer glass. This is because the aroma of beer helps mask its bitter flavor.
The bursting of the foamy microbubbles on the glass's top, aka the head, also highlights the beer's excellent side. So to enjoy your beer even more, pour it to have some froth and drink it while the head is still present.
Listen to this Blog
What are the Sizes of Beer Glasses?
Different beer glasses can hold varying amounts of beer. In this article, pint refers to the US pint, which is equal to 16 ounces.
1. American Pint Glass
This fundamental glass is the most popular out of the beer glasses listed here since it is the cheapest and can serve just about any beer. With only 16 ounces to it, the American pint glass is the perfect size to get you to enjoy your beer without forcing it down too soon in fear of it getting warm and flat.
2. Imperial Pint Glass
A little larger than the American pint glass, the Imperial pint glass packs 20 ounces of any beer you can think of. It also has a small lip designed to let the glass naturally tip on your mouth to take a big gulp of your drink instead of sipping it.
3. Pilsner Beer Glass
Pilsner glasses are footed glasses that don't have a stem, like a goblet, chalice, and tulip glasses. The foot is meant to give stability to the tapering design on the glass. This glass is intended to display the light color, effervescence, and clarity of pilsner beers. Moreover, it can hold up to 14 ounces of beer.
4. Tulip Beer Glass
Tulip glasses resemble both the goblet and the thistle glass, only that it has a narrower rim than the goblet or chalice. It was designed to capture the head and promote the aroma of the Belgian ales. It is used to serve strong and dark ales and Belgian IPAs. It can hold up to 16 ounces of beer.
5. Thistle Beer Glass
Thistle glasses are almost the same as hurricane glasses; only the bulge on the bowl has more pronounced and angular sides. It can hold 20 ounces of beer and is best used to serve Scotch ales. This is a genuinely Scottish tradition as the shape is inspired by the thistle, Scotland's national flower.
6. Goblet
The goblet can hold 21 ounces of your favorite German wheat beer, especially if stange glasses are too small for you. It also looks more sophisticated than a beer mug while keeping the hand away from the beer, inadvertently warming it.
7. IPA Beer Glass
Shaped just like the stout glasses, IPA glasses are taller and sleeker and can hold only 19 ounces compared to the 21 of the stout glasses. They are also best used to serve IPAs. The more thin rim allows the release of carbonation, bombarding your nose as the minute bubbles burst while you drink from it.
8. Stout Beer Glass
Stout glasses can hold 21 oz of your favorite beer. Its design is meant to highlight the aroma of the coffee and chocolate typical in stouts.
9. Weizen Beer Glass
Weizen glasses are another giant when it comes to beer glasses. It can hold up to 24 ounces of beer, quickly serving two 12-oz. cans in a single gulp. The Weizen glass is best used to serve wheat beers and light, aromatic beers as it can form a thick, fluffy head, making the beer more enticingly sweet.
10. Stange Beer Glass
Slim, sleek, and tall, this is known as the champagne flute's equivalent for beers. The narrow body and opening make it an appropriate glass for light-bodied beers. Contrary to the pint glass, which is more prevalent in the US, the stange glass is a classic beer glass for German beers. It can hold less than 7 ounces of beer, so it is tiny in the beer world.
11. Teku-Stemmed Beer Glass
Not to be mistaken as a glass for spirits, the teku-stemmed beer glass is more angular on the sides than the curved bowl of wine glasses. It can hold 11-14 ounces of beer and is used to serve fine craft beers.
12. Beer Mug
A beer mug can hold various amounts of beer, depending on the size. Although it was lost in circulation in the 1960s, this glass is still the classic beer glass. The smallest can hold less than a pint to more than a liter for the bigger ones. Its handle is always favored because it keeps the hand away from the glass's body, providing more beer insulation.
13. Boot Beer Glass
If you are a general, would you challenge your men to win a battle in exchange for a drink of beer on your leather boots? That's what happened to a Prussian general who dared his men. The cunning general then had a glassmaker fashion a glass shaped like a boot so he won't have to drink his beer from his filthy boots.
The beer boot, known in Germany as bierstiefel, the largest of which can hold up to 2 liters or 67 ounces, is the healthy alternative to filthy boots.
The challenge lies in drinking the beer without dribbling it on your shirt. The boot's toe creates a hollow as you consume it until bubbles push the drink more forcibly out if you don't know how to drink from it. The secret lies in slightly tilting the toe to the side to lessen the beer's rush from the boot to your throat.
How Large is a Pint Glass?
As the name implies, a pint glass can hold an imperial pint equivalent to 1.2 US pints.
How Big is a Beer Mug?
Depending on the glass, it ranges from 3.5 ounces to 34 ounces.
1. Dimple Mug
The dimpled mug makes it easier to handle during washing. Designed to look like a hand grenade, it exudes strength, but more importantly, it helps to make the beer in the mug less intimidating.
This is a pint glass, but it is handled, so it is usually called a "Handle." It has a capacity of 5 ounces (quarter ounce glass) to 1 pint (16 ounces). In between, a half-pint mug can hold 10 oz.
2. Pub Beer Mug
Pub beer mugs usually have a capacity of 10 to 17 ounces. These are the mugs, as we know now.
3. Beer Stein
Beer steins usually have a capacity of 12 to 37 ounces. While it is currently used to serve beer, it was never its purpose in the first place. The word stein means stone in German but may have been misunderstood and later popularized by American soldiers. While it does sound like a beer stein, beer steins may refer to residue buildup in the brewing vessel instead of a drinking vessel.
However, it is fair to note that the beer stein, as we know it today, originated from stoneware jugs called steinkrug. Before the invention of glass, stoneware mugs were used to serve beer. The hinged lid was added to prevent the beer from being contaminated by flies during the black plague's height.
What is the Use of a Beer Mug?
One of the drawbacks when drinking beer is that it loses its integrity when it is already warm, leaving it tasting flat. So bartenders and glassmakers worked together to design a drinking glass with a handle to keep hands from heating the drink.
On the other hand, beer steins were first used in Germany to stave off the possibility of being infected with bubonic plague in the 16th century. Initially, it was made of stoneware, but it can also be made from porcelain, pewter, silver, or wood.
History of Beer Mug
In 1639, Sir Robert Mansell acquired a monopoly on glassmaking in Britain, but the beer glasses were costly. There were also imported glasses from Venice, but those were too expensive.
In the 1660s, a beer glass was sold at 6 pence each (about £50 or $60 each). From 1745 onwards, the beer glasses became smaller since they were taxed according to their weight. However, they were still costly and were a status symbol as only the rich can afford them.
In the 18th century, when the first glass press was invented, the glasses were less expensive and lighter. By the 1920s, the first 10-sided, handled pint mug was first mass-produced, becoming the alter ego for beer. However, it was replaced by the dimpled mug, which supposedly made the beer more attractive. By the 1960s, the ten-sided tankard was no longer produced to give way to straighter, lighter glasses.
While they may be favored, the lighter glasses prove to be not as sturdy as they look as they are easily chipped and broken when clinked together on a toast. Nonik glasses provided a solution to this by having a bulge near the top to improve the drinker's grip, easier removal from the stack, and making the glass stronger to prevent chipping. It may have solved chipping, but drinkers do not favor these glasses because they were very plain-looking.
Before you purchase your beer glass, it is best to understand the different beer types and styles. Maybe you can begin with a beer-wine hybrid that will eventually make you love beer.
A good start would be this 6-piece assorted beer glass set. Composed of an American pint glass, nonik glass, tulip glass, pilsner glass, Weizen glass, and a goblet, this is an excellent set to let you explore how each glass affects the taste of a particular beer.

Nigeria Labour Congress
NLC
Abuja, Nigeria
Ayuba P. Wabba, President
Dr. Peter Ozo-Eson, General Secretary
ITUC
www.nlcng.org
Adams Oshiomhole, former President of the Nigeria Labour Congress (right) with U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria Howard F. Jeter (center), July 5, 2002, Lagos.
Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) is an umbrella organization for trade unions in Nigeria.
The Nigerian Labour Congress was founded in December 1978, as a merger of four different organisations: the Nigeria Trade Union Congress (NTUC), Labour Unity Front (LUF), United Labour Congress (ULC) and Nigeria Workers' Council (NWC).[1] However, the recently-established Federal Military Government, led by Murtala Mohammed, refused to recognise the new organisation, and instead set up the Adebiyi Tribunal to investigate the activities of trade unions and their leaders. The Tribunal reported in 1976 and claimed that all the existing trade union centres propagated Cold War ideologies, depended on funding from international union federations, and mismanaged funds. This was used as a justification to ban all four centres, with M. O. Abiodun appointed as the administrator of trade unions. He accepted the establishment of a new Nigeria Labour Congress, on the condition that the approximately 1,500 affiliated unions were restructured into 42 industrial unions, plus 19 unions representing senior staff.[2][3]
In 1978, the Nigeria Labour Congress was established, with the 42 industrial unions affiliated. It was to be the only legal trade union federation.[2] Its leadership included many of the leading figures from its four predecessors, with Wahab Goodluck becoming its founding president.[4]
During its history, conflicts with the military regime twice led to the dissolution of the NLC's national organs, the first in 1988 under the military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida and the second in 1994, under the regime of General Sani Abacha.[5] In 1996, the 42 affiliates of the NLC were merged into to 29, by Act of Parliament.[2] Under Nigeria's military governments, labour leaders were frequently arrested and union meetings disrupted. Following democratic reforms in the country, some of the anti-union regulations were abolished in January 1999. The same month Adams Oshiomhole was elected President of the reformed organisation.
In the early 2000s, conflict between the government and the NLC escalated due to the organisation's opposition to higher fuel prices. The price increases are the result of decisions by the Olusegun Obasanjo government to dramatically reduce subsidies and to deregulate the purchase and sale of fue[6] The NLC has led several general strikes protesting the government's fuel price policy.
In September 2004, the NLC gave the federal government an ultimatum to reverse the decision to reintroduce the controversial fuel tax or face a nationwide protest strike. The strike threat was made despite the fact that a Federal High Court judgement in an earlier dispute had declared the organisation lacking legal power to call a general strike over government policies.[7]
Following the announcement of the strike plans, the NLC claimed President Adams Oshiomhole was arrested October 9, 2004 at a protest at Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport. According to the organisation, Oshiomhole was "abducted by a team of operatives of the State Security Services (SSS) numbering over fifteen, who overpowered him, wrestled him to the ground and bundled him into a standby Peugeot 504 station wagon, which bore no licence plates."[8] The State Security Services called the claim "sensational and inaccurate reporting", saying that the NLC president had a "misunderstanding" with field operatives, but that the matter was soon resolved. A presidential spokesperson claimed that Oshiomhole was only invited for a "chat" at the airport, no arrest having taken place.[9]
In 2005, the law was changed to permit other trade union federation to receive government recognition, and also to permit senior staff unions to join the NLC.[2] In 2016, about 25 affiliates left to form the United Labour Congress, but they rejoined the NLC in 2020.[10][11] By the end of the year, it had 43 affiliates, which as of 2016 represented more than 4,000,000 members.[12]
One of the strongest protest of the NLC can be traced to January 2012 during the President Goodluck Jonathan administration. The president and his economic team had argued that fuel subsidy payments was making the country lose billions of naira and it will save around "£4.2bn annually to invest in underperforming refineries that have forced Nigeria to import its own oil once it has been refined".[13] The president said his government was no more interested in the payment of fuel subsidy to petroleum markerters.[14] This will move fuel prices which was sold for N65 a litre with subsidy inclusive to around N141 which implies more than a hundred per cent increase.[15][16]
The campaign for fuel subsidy removal was supported by the ministers in his cabinet and mostly chaired by the then finance minister/coordinating minister for economy Dr. Ngozi Okonjo Iweala.[17] The government announced that fuel subsidy was going to be removed by January 2012 and this announcement was not welcomed by the Nigeria Labour Congress. Abdulwahed Omar, the then NLC president challenged the government that there will be wide spread mass protest in Nigeria if it continued with its plans to remove fuel subsdy.[14] The NLC was able to rally other trade unions and civicl societies to support its planned protest. This challenge was marked by actions when the government moved on with the removal of payments for fuel subsidy.[18][19] By 9 January 2012, massive protest erupted around Nigeria and in major cities including Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano.[20] These protest crippled the economy as there was a total shutdown of the Nations different workforce and it lasted more than five working days.[21] This led the then president Jonathan to announce on live TV that government will now subsidize fuel prices and reduce it to about $2.75 (£1.80) a gallon.[22] The protest was eventually suspended after this broadcast by the federal government.[23] This protest marks one of the toughest protest ever faced by a civilian government in Nigeria and shows the power of the Nigerian Labour Congress.
Women's wing
The National Women Commission is the national women's wing of NLC. It was created in 2003 to increase the participation of women in the affairs of the union.[24][25] Beginning in 1983, demand for more recognition of working women led to the establishment of women's wing in state capitals. Currently state branches of NLC have a women's committee and the chairperson of the committee is an automatic member of the administrative council of the state's NLC. On the national level, the head of the National Women Commission is automatically a Vice-President of NLC.The president of the National Women Commission is Comrade Rita Goyit.[24] The women wing also engages in massive rallies and protest in support for women rights and against gender based violence against women.[26]

About Dolly Parton
Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, actress, philanthropist, and businesswoman, known primarily for her decades-long career in country music. After achieving success as a songwriter for others, Parton made her album debut in 1967 with Hello, I'm Dolly, which led to success during the remainder of the 1960s (both as a solo artist and with a series of duet albums with Porter Wagoner), before her sales and chart peak came during the 1970s and continued into the 1980s. Parton's albums in the 1990s did not sell as well, but she achieved commercial success again in the new millennium and has released albums on various independent labels since 2000, including her own label, Dolly Records.
With a career spanning over fifty years, Parton has been described as a "country music legend" and has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling female artists of all time. Parton's music includes Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA)-certified gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards. She has had 25 singles reach no. 1 on the Billboard country music charts, a record for a female artist (tied with Reba McEntire). She has 44 career Top 10 country albums, a record for any artist, and she has 110 career-charted singles over the past 40 years. She has composed over 3,000 songs, including "I Will Always Love You" (a two-time U.S. country chart-topper, as well as an international pop hit for Whitney Houston), "Jolene", "Coat of Many Colors", and "9 to 5". As an actress, she has starred in films such as 9 to 5 (1980) and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982), for which she earned Golden Globe nominations for Best Actress, as well as Rhinestone (1984), Steel Magnolias (1989), Straight Talk (1992) and Joyful Noise (2012).
She has received 11 Grammy Awards out of 50 nominations, including the Lifetime Achievement Award; ten Country Music Association Awards, including Entertainer of the Year and is one of only seven female artists to win the Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year Award; five Academy of Country Music Awards, also including Entertainer of the Year; four People's Choice Awards; and three American Music Awards. She is also in a select group to have received at least one nomination from the Academy Awards, Grammy Awards, Tony Awards, and Emmy Awards. In 1999, Parton was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. In 2005, she received the National Medal of Arts and in 2022, she was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a nomination she had initially declined, but ultimately accepted and was inducted.
Outside of her work in the music industry, she also co-owns The Dollywood Company, which manages a number of entertainment venues, including the Dollywood theme park, the Splash Country water park, and a number of dinner theatre venues including The Dolly Parton Stampede and Pirates Voyage. She has founded a number of charitable and philanthropic organizations, chief among which is the Dollywood Foundation, which manages a number of projects to bring education and poverty relief to East Tennessee where she grew up.

PURPOSE: Abdominal lymph node (ALN) recurrence in gastric cancer (GC) is rare and usually unresectable. We investigated the effects of integration of radiotherapy (RT) and chemotherapy against ALN recurrence in GC. METHODS: We retrospectively categorized GC patients with ALN recurrence treated between 2005 and 2013 into two groups: those treated with integration of RT and chemotherapy (RCT) and those who received systemic chemotherapy only (CT). The median follow-up period after ALN recurrence for all patients was 20 months. RESULTS: Of 53 patients, 31 and 22 were in the RCT and CT groups, respectively. Isolated distant failure (DF; 35.5%) without local progression (LP) was the dominant pattern of failure (POF) in the RCT group (median DF-free period, 26 months). LP followed by DF (31.8%) was the dominant POF in the CT group; LP (median LP-free period, 8 months) occurred 10 months earlier than DF (median DF-free period, 18 months). RCT patients had significantly longer median progression-free survival (PFS) compared to CT patients (25 vs. 8 months; P = 0.021). On multivariate analysis, treatment (CT vs. RCT) was an independent prognostic factor for PFS (hazard ratio 2.085; 95% confidence interval 1.073-4.050; P = 0.013). CONCLUSIONS: Integration of RT and chemotherapy achieved long-term local control and prolonged PFS in GC patients with ALN recurrence. Local RT is feasible for treating isolated ALN recurrences.
