There are certain signs and symptoms that indicate a need for change in your diet. Fatigue, irritability, sadness, and hypersensitivity (FISH) are all symptoms related to, both, stress and poor diet. So are headaches, insomnia, moodiness, brain fog, digestive complaints, muscle pain, obesity, diabetes, hypoglycemia, vaginal infections, rectal leakage, recurring herpes outbreaks, and panic attacks. A genetically appropriate diet can help you to manage and, perhaps, erase these symptoms and others altogether.
Up until one hundred years ago, we did not eat processed foods. We chose our foods from our backyards and the sea. We hunted, gathered, and picked the foods we ate. We also ate according to the availability of foods during each season. Our ancestors ate primarily fish, eggs, meat, nuts, vegetables, and low-sugar fruits. Our bodies have not evolved any further since these times. Refined sugar, chemical additives, and synthetic hormones did not exist and these things are killing us.
When thinking about eating genetically appropriate, think back to simpler times. This will help you to consider proper food choices. Eat like our ancestors. Our genetic makeup is still like theirs. It just makes more sense, doesn't it? And, the prehistoric, amphibious part of you, your inner fish, will love you for it! But, how does one eat a prehistoric, genetically appropriate diet while living in the modern world?
There are 23 types of proteins that the human body needs in order to repair itself. These 23 types are called amino acids. Of these 23, only 13 are made by our own bodies, but only if we get the other 10 from the foods we eat. The only guarantee of getting in enough complete proteins in your diet is through meats (including fish and poultry), dairy products that come by way of animal products (such as milk, eggs, and cheese) and a few grains, vegetables, and nut products. The actual meat portion of your proteins should be about 10% of your total daily protein intake. Anything over 10% drastically increases the chance of cancer. Only grass-fed animals will do when it comes to eating meat. Additionally, for HSPs, it is important to eat protein at breakfast, lunch, and dinner to help keep blood sugar balanced.
Our ancestors didn't have to worry about what they ate in the sea. Our prehistoric grandmothers and grandfathers gulped down a lower food chain specimen and didn't give it another thought. Today, our world's waters are contaminated. Fisheries may use organic feed, but their fish and shell-fish may still contain mercury, PCBs, and dioxins. Swordfish and tuna can contain very high levels of mercury, regardless of where they are from. When choosing tuna, choose Albacore. Farmed salmon may have twice as many toxins as those raised in the wild. Opt for wild seafood, such as wild Alaskan salmon or wild Oregonian salmon (canned is fine). Best sea-foods are sea bass, herring, trout, oysters, and clams.
Seafood Choices reveals the types of seafood available.
NOTE: When you suffer from ongoing stress your body may not be able to utilize protein properly. I suggest eating a little more protein than what others will tell you, so that you get enough.
Live foods are plant foods that have not been heated, cooked, or refined in any way. Live foods are known as carbohydrates and contain their own natural enzymes. When foods are cooked in higher than 113-degree temperatures they lose their natural enzymes and your body has to furnish its own enzymes to do the job of breaking down and digesting the food you just ate. This can, eventually, cause an enzyme deficit and digestive stress. When you eat live foods you don't have to worry about this. When it comes to eating carbohydrates, eat fewer for breakfast, more at lunch, and a bit more for dinner along with your protein serving. This will help to keep your stress hormones, especially cortisol, balanced throughout the day so you feel less stressed, fatigued, and can sleep better at night.
I'm sure you've heard that fiber keeps you going to the bathroom regularly, but fiber has other purposes as well, such as helping you to lose weight, keeping your cholesterol down and your insides squeaky clean. it also helps to keep blood sugar balanced, prevent cancer and heart problems. Adults need 22-32 grams of fiber per day. Any food item containing 3 or more grams of fiber is considered a high fiber food. Some high fiber foods are pears, fresh strawberries, whole wheat pasta, bran cereal, oatmeal, lentils (15.6 grams per cooked cup), peas, Brussel sprouts, string beans, spinach, broccoli and a potato (with the skin). Increase fiber in your diet gradually. If you are not used to eating fiber it can trigger Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Steam, bake or juice your vegetables for the first week or so, rather than eating them raw. Often times, it's the "chunks" of raw, unchewed food sitting in the gut that causes stomach upset. Even if you continue to find it necessary to cook your vegetables, you will still benefit from vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.
Green tea, maitake, reishi, and coreolis mushrooms, turmeric (the active ingredient, Curcumin), red peppers, beets, squash, carrots, spinach, broccoli, plums, blackberries, apricots, grapes, cherries, and raspberries are all immune enhancers and disease-fighting foods. Bananas, cabbage, cucumbers, coconut milk (fresh), grapes, green peas, lettuce (dark green), oranges, melons, onions, pears, pineapple, potato, tomatoes, turnips have cancer fighters in their juices.
Electrolytes are soluble, ionized salts that are responsible for the transfer of electrical energy in the body. With too few electrolytes, we short out. Ordinary table salt has no health benefit what-so-ever. In fact, it is widely known that "table" salt causes water retention and high blood pressure even when consumed in moderation. it is also known that low-quality table salt often contains bits of sand and glass that create tiny cuts in cells and tissues which causes further health problems. Sea salt does not. Sea salt is full of much-needed minerals. Toss out ordinary table salt and buy sea salt which can also be used in the bath to soothe and relax the mind and body as well.
Fats are essential to the health of your body's cells. Fat provides a cushion to organs, balances hormones, regulates blood pressure and heart rate, provides energy in reserve, and supplies soft hair and skin. Without healthy fats in your diet, you will, over a relatively short period of time, become fatigued, irritable, sad, hypersensitive. You will develop muscle aches, blood sugar problems, and hormonal issues. Eating a few walnuts a day and fish two or three times per week should cover your essential fatty acid needs. Completely avoid trans fats. Research reported in the New England Journal of Medicine in November 1977 that trans-fatty acids in the diet are a greater risk factor for heart disease than just being overweight.
NOTE: Be cautious of taking fish oil supplements while on certain medications.
We all know that sweeteners of the past give you cancer. New ones come along every so often, like each of the others, promising to be the best, latest, dieters dream. Side-effects of fake sweeteners include flushing, redness or a burning feeling of the skin, rashes, acne, a panicky or shaky feeling (anxiety), nausea, forgetfulness, becoming uninterested or withdrawn from usual activities, moodiness, depression, unexplained crying, stomach cramps, headache, seeing spots, hypersensitivity, anger, pain, diarrhea, trouble concentration, seizures and feeling faint.
NOTE: Nursing mothers should abstain from using sweeteners until after they stop breastfeeding. Never give synthetic sweeteners to children.
Consider using Stevia as a sugar substitute instead. It is truly safe. It is a plant-based, natural sweetener that actually contains fiber, an added plus. It is sweeter than sugar, does not affect blood glucose levels, you can cook with it, and it has no aftertaste. Nursing moms may also use it with no worry. You can find it in bulk or in convenient small "carry with you" packages. Up to 3 teaspoons of honey each day won't hurt either, but more than that can interfere with your blood sugar.
NOTE: Never give honey to children under the age of 12 months old and, preferably, not under the age of 3. It may cause an allergic reaction.
Sugar causes dental, heart, cancer, degenerative, and digestive diseases. Sugar is very bad for your brain and your inner fish (the amygdalae). The following is only a very small list of where sugars are hidden.
A total of 6 teaspoons of total sugar each day is the recommended daily requirement. This includes hidden and natural sugars in foods.
NOTE: Corn syrup is a form of simple sugar that is the absolute worst because it fools the brain into thinking we have not had enough sugar.
Meat/Protein ~ Vegetable proteins (beans, oats and rye), spirulina (algae), freshwater and ocean fish, shellfish, chicken (white meat), eggs, almonds (1 ounce or 24 almonds equals 1 protein and 1 fat), flaxseed (ground), and high protein green drinks (including kale).
Vegetables & Roots ~ All, especially leafy greens, such as seaweed. Seaweed is one of the most complete foods on the planet and contains vitamins A, B-12, C, D, E and K, omega 3s, amino acids (protein), enzymes, potassium, magnesium, zinc, lignans, iodine, essential fatty acids, nucleic acids (RNA, DNA), and phytochemicals, such as carotenoids. Also, see Seaweed.
Cereals & Grains ~ Brown, black or wild rice, and peas (from pods). When it comes to grains, you want to make sure they have not been refined or changed in any way. Most "mermaids" have an intolerance to gluten and avoid any foods containing it.
Nuts & Seeds ~ Nuts (Brazil, cashew, hazelnut, macadamia, filberts are all low acid nuts) and almonds; flaxseeds, sesame, and fennel seeds; nut butters (with the exception of peanut butter, which is extremely acidic).
Fruits ~ Berries and dried fruits within moderation.
Fats & Oils ~ Olive (cold or warm, never cooked in high heat), sesame, flaxseed, coconut, and almond oils.
Sugars ~ Stevia, dark brown (to cook with), honey, dried fruit, and molasses (raw, non-sulfur).
Salad Dressings ~ Pureed avocado, cubed fruit, olive oil, and lemon and lime juice.
Beverages ~ Distilled, mineral or alkaline water, fresh fruit or vegetable juice, and herbal tea.
Go organic with your fish, fowl, dairy, grains, tofu, and some organic fresh foods. Stick with organic milk, cheese, and yogurt to reduce the hormone and antibiotic risk. Avoid foods containing molds. Molds may cause Candida (yeast infection), eye infections, hair, skin, and nail disease. Eat only organic beef, lamb, eggs, and chicken to reduce hormone and antibiotic risk. Purchase organic sausage, cold cuts, and bacon to avoid preservatives linked to bladder and brain cancers, such as nitrates and nitrites.
All thin-skinned fruits and vegetables are prone to be high in toxins, especially potatoes, spinach, celery, bell peppers, grapes, apples, cherries, peaches, pears, strawberries, nectarines, and raspberries should be organic. By eating these 12 food items organically, you can cut your pesticide exposure up to 90%.
Frozen or canned fruits or vegetables that belong to this list (above) are to be avoided if possible. Frozen fruits are often coated in a sugar. Canned contain preservatives and also absorb aluminum. When it comes to fruits and vegetables always choose fresh, then frozen, with canned being last on the list. Some people really enjoy juicing. However, ne concern over drinking vegetable and fruit juices is that the natural sugars found in vegetables and fruits (carbohydrates) can spike blood sugar levels in the body. When this occurs, it's not long before blood sugars also drop rapidly. This rapid spiking and dropping is a major concern for those with diabetes. Even if you are not diabetic, it can lead to feeling energetic one minute and extremely tired the next. However, blood sugar spikes can be avoided by adding Kale to homemade juices. Kale is packed full of protein. When choosing other fruits and vegetables, try to purchase your items from your local farmers market. Smaller farms don't tend to use pesticides in the same way as conventional producers. Their foods may well be organic, but not claimed as such due to the cost of getting USDA-certified organic.
Eat whole-wheat or whole-wheat grain, bread, crackers, and flour. It is best to eat products where the grain remains intact. Sprouted grains are best. They are less acidic. Spelt flour is most tolerated and contains more protein than other sprouted grain flours.
Avoid foods containing yeast. They may cause Candida, eye infections, hair, nail and skin disease. In addition, avoid corn. It contains carcinogens.
"All Natural" - No such thing, but on meats means is supposed to mean no artificial preservatives or colors.
"Free Range" - No such thing. It is supposed to mean that animals have the freedom to roam, but who's regulating? It says nothing about what they are fed.
"Antibiotic and Hormone Free" - No such thing. Who's determining if this is true? The USDA has its hands full trying to determine the truth here.
"100% Organic" - OK. This means the product is proven to have no hormones, pesticides or artificial ingredients.
"Organic" - OK. 95% is organic, with some other "stuff" added to process it.
"Made with Organic Ingredients" - OK. At least 70% organic.

Each day, the amount of data in the world increases by 2.5 quintillion bytes. Ninety percent of all the data created the world over has been produced in the last two years. That there is more data is not in doubt. If we will be able to harness that data to affect our everyday lives is up to the women and men that craft insights into impact, informed perspectives into effective policy.
Welcome to STEPS to Value, the HIMSS podcast that looks at people and processes, information and technology as they work together to transform the delivery of healthcare. In today's episode, we explore how to craft data into collective action with Jessica Kahn, Senior Expert in Public Sector Healthcare IT and Data at McKinsey & Company and recent recipient of HIMSS' Most Influential Women in HIT award. In her time as the Director for Medicaid's Data and Systems Group, Jessica oversaw $5 billion in annual federal spending for state Medicaid IT and data projects. Through her leadership of the Medicaid EHR Incentive Program, over 202,000 providers received more than $12 billion in incentive payments to adopt, implement, upgrade and meaningfully use federally-certified EHR systems. We talk to Jessica about what her leadership experiences have taught her about consensus-driven outcomes, data's powerful impact on how patients and providers experience their healthcare, and how answering an ad in a college newspaper truly changed her life.


Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign gathered anti-hunger advocates from across the country, including Kentucky, to look for ways to reduce hunger among children in rural communities during a national conference March 21-22 in Louisville.
Without any real fundamental support, CBOT futures closed mostly higher and near the day's highs. Live Cattle posted moderate gains with Feeder Cattle rallying stronger. These markets continue to be supported by bad feedlot conditions, weather-related death losses, strong beef demand from the financially-healthy consumer and soaring Lean Hog futures.
As a cattle producer, I am thankful to the General Assembly for passing House Bill 311 which will ensure lab-grown protein products are properly labeled for consumers. I would also like to thank Representative Michael Meredith for sponsoring this important bill.
President's Column: Kentucky Farm Families Advocating in Washington, D.C.
Having just returned from the annual Congressional Tour in Washington, D.C., I'm always amazed and encouraged at the level of participation we have for this trip and other advocacy opportunities.
As much as I love this digital age we live in, at least when it comes to gathering information, I still am a bit old fashion in that I love the printed word; not files on a smart phone or computer but actual print in a newspaper, or magazine, or book.
Things sure have changed a lot since I was a kid.
As I was growing up, we always had a few milk cows. To buy milk at the grocery store was laughable, we had our own! Most families grew their own food, as everyone had a garden.


We are celebrating a very special Centenary: the finding of the first meteorite from Antarctica, on 5th December 1912.
This one kilogram, stony 'Adelie Land' meteorite was found on the 1911–14 Australasian Antarctic Expedition of famous Geologist Sir Douglas Mawson. It was discovered lying on the snow in a shallow depression, about thirty-two kilometres west of Cape Denison, Commonwealth Bay in Adelie Land and subsequently named after the region.
It was discovered by Francis Bickerton, who was leading an exploration and mapping party across the coastal highlands west of Cape Denison. Although its dark colour contrasted with the white background, it was remarkable that such a small object was recognised in a vast wilderness of ice and snow.
Although tens of thousands of meteorites have since been found on the Antarctic continent, mainly by American, Japanese and European teams, 'Adelie Land' was the first. The discovery of this meteorite by pioneer Australian explorers working at the limits of human endurance made scientific history.
It was the 'Heroic Age' of Antarctic exploration.
All meteorites are important because they are early survivors from the birth of our Solar System and carry vital information on its history, structure and composition. Most come from the Asteroid Belt, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, about 400 million kilometres from the Sun.
The meteorite was sliced for scientific study so it is now possible to see its brown and cream mottled interior of iron and magnesium silicate minerals (olivine and hypersthene), all speckled with bright flecks of nickel-iron metal. Its rounded outer surface was completely covered with a dark brown fusion crust.
It belongs to a class of meteorites called Chondrites, which represent the outer compacted granular layer of an asteroid. Sir Douglas Mawson and the Australasian Antarctic Expedition donated this historic meteorite to the Australian Museum in 1924.
Like all penguins, Adelie Penguins live at sea for most of the year, swimming underwater with the aid of their flipper-like wings to catch fish.
The story of the 'Barratta meteorite' has a rather uncertain beginning. One version claims that in 1859 a stockman witnessed spectacular light and sound effects at a place where pieces of the meteorite were later found.


Yeeee I have completed 2 years in Pune today. On 6th April 2014 I came to Pune with lots of hopes and dreams. On 7th April 2014 I have joined rtCamp as a WordPress QA Tester. It's been a nice journey. I can not forget this day, this was the new beginning of my life. I had never any idea that one day I will be in Pune for job and will be working on WordPress. Since the college time I had been working on Java only. I joined my first job as a Java Developer, my first blog was Java2Career. But now here I am, working on WordPress, I think I can say it "My Destiny" :D.
Testing – I was in development earlier so it was my first experience in Testing. Do not underestimate the power of testing. It's not as easy as it seems.
Apart from this I also had lots of fun, made many new friends, learnt two new languages Marathi and Gujarati little bit :), visited Goa. Got to know about various kind of human nature, some people surprised me (Aise bhi log hote hai 😯 ).
I met so many wonderful people in these 2 years.
Thank you to everyone who supported me on my journey in Pune.

Nigeria's History Timeline (with Pictures) - 800B.C - 1999
800 B.C to 200 A.D
The neolithic Nok culture (named for the town where archaeological findings first were made) flourished on the Jos Plateau; the Nok people made fine terra-cotta sculptures and probably knew how to work tin and iron.
Nok Sculpture
800A.D
The first important centralized state to influence Nigeria was Kanem-Bornu, which probably was founded in the 8th century A.D., to the north of Lake Chad (outside modern Nigeria). In the 11th century, by which time its rulers had been converted to Islam, Kanem-Bornu expanded south of Lake Chad into present-day Nigeria, and in the late 15th century. its capital was moved there.
Kanem-Bornu
1100A.D
Beginning in the 11th cent. seven independent Hausa city-states were founded in Northern Nigeria. Biram, Daura, Gobir, Kano, Katsina, Rano, and Zaria. Kano and Katsina competed for the lucrative trans-Saharan trade with Kanem-Bornu, and for a time had to pay tribute to it. In the early 16th century all of Hausaland was briefly held by the Songhai Empire. However, in the late 16th century, Kanem-Bornu replaced Songhai as the leading power in Northern Nigeria, and the Hausa states regained their autonomy.
Extension of Songhai Empire in Nigeria
In southwest Nigeria two states - Oyo and Benin - had developed by the 14th century; the rulers of both states traced their origins to Ife, renowned for its naturalistic terra-cotta and brass sculpture. Benin was the leading state in the 15th century but began to decline in the 17th century, and by the 18th century Oyo controlled Yorubaland and also Dahomey. The Igbo people in the southeast lived in small village communities.

In the late 15th cent. Portuguese navigators became the first Europeans to visit Nigeria. They soon began to purchase slaves and agricultural produce from coastal middlemen; the slaves had been captured further inland by the middlemen. The Portuguese were followed by British, French, and Dutch traders. Among the Igbo and Ibibio a number of city-states were established by individuals who had become wealthy by engaging in the slave trade; these included Bonny, Owome, and Okrika.
There were major internal changes in Nigeria in the 19th cent. In 1804, Uthman dan Fodio (1754–1817), a Fulani and a pious Muslim, began a holy war to reform the practice of Islam in the north. He soon conquered the Hausa city-states, but Bornu, led by Muhammad al-Kanemi (also a Muslim reformer) until 1835, maintained its independence. In 1817, Uthman dan Fodio's son, Muhammad Bello (d.1837) established a state centered at Sokoto, which controlled most of Northern Nigeria until the coming of the British (1900–1906). Under both Uthman dan Fodio and Muhammad Bello, Muslim culture, and also trade, flourished in the Fulani empire. In Bornu, Muhammad al-Kanemi was succeeded by Umar (reigned 1835–80), under whom the empire disintegrated.
Uthman Dan Fodio
Sokoto Caliphate
In 1807, Great Britain abandoned the slave trade; however, other countries continued it until about 1875. Meanwhile, many African middlemen turned to selling palm products, which were Nigeria's chief export by the middle of the century. In 1817 a long series of civil wars began in the Oyo Empire; they lasted until 1893 (when Britain intervened), by which time the empire had disintegrated completely.
In order to stop the slave trade there, Britain annexed Lagos in 1861. In 1879, Sir George Goldie gained control of all the British firms trading on the Niger, and in the 1880s he took over two French companies active there and signed treaties with numerous African leaders. Largely because of Goldie's efforts, Great Britain was able to claim S Nigeria at the Conference of Berlin held in 1884–85. In the following years, the British established their rule in SW Nigeria, partly by signing treaties (as in the Lagos hinterland) and partly by using force (as at Benin in 1897). Jaja, a leading African trader based at Opobo in the Niger delta and strongly opposed to European competition, was captured in 1887 and deported. Goldie's firm, given (1886) a British royal charter, as the Royal Niger Company, to administer the Niger River and N Nigeria, antagonized Europeans and Africans alike by its monopoly of trade on the Niger; in addition, it was not sufficiently powerful to gain effective control over N Nigeria, which was also sought by the French.
Jaja of Opobo
British Invasion of Benin Kingdom
In 1900 the Royal Niger Company's charter was revoked and British forces under Frederick Lugard began to conquer the north, taking Sokoto in 1903. By 1906, Britain controlled Nigeria, which was divided into the Colony (i.e., Lagos) and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria and the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria.

In 1914 the two regions were amalgamated and the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria was established. The administration of Nigeria was based on a system devised by Lugard and called "indirect rule"; under this system, Britain ruled through existing political institutions rather than establishing a wholly new administrative network. In some areas (especially the southeast) new African officials (resembling the traditional rulers in other parts of the country) were set up; in most cases they were not accepted by the mass of the people and were able to rule only because British power stood behind them. All important decisions were made by the British governor, and the African rulers, partly by being associated with the colonialists, soon lost most of their traditional authority. Occasionally (as in Aba in 1929) discontent with colonial rule flared into open protest.
Nigeria's Amalgamation Map
Lord Lugard
In 1947, Great Britain promulgated a constitution that gave the traditional authorities a greater voice in national affairs. The Western-educated elite was excluded, and, led by Herbert Macaulay and Nnamdi Azikiwe, its members vigorously denounced the constitution. As a result, a new constitution, providing for elected representation on a regional basis, was instituted in 1951.
Herbert Macaulay
Nigeria attained independence on Oct. 1, 1960, with Abubakar Tafawa Balewa of the NPC as prime minister and Azikiwe of the NCNC as governor-general; when Nigeria became a republic in 1963, Azikiwe was made president. The first years of independence were characterized by severe conflicts within and between regions. In the Western region, a bloc of the Action Group split off (1962) under S. I. Akintola to form the Nigerian National Democratic party (NNDP). In 1962, Obafemi Awolowo was charged for treason. In 1963 the Mid-Western region (whose population was mostly Edo) was formed from a part of the Western region. National elections late in 1964 were hotly contested, with an NPC-NNDP coalition (called the National Alliance) emerging victorious.
Queen Elizabeth and Tafawa Balewa
Ahmadu Bello, Awolowo, and Azikwe (Our Founding Fathers)
In Jan., 1966, Igbo army officers staged a successful coup, which resulted in the deaths of Federal Prime Minister Balewa, Northern Prime Minister Ahmadu Bello, and Western Prime Minister S. I. Akintola. Maj. Gen. Johnson T. U. Aguiyi-Ironsi, an Igbo, became head of a military government and suspended the national and regional constitutions; this met with a violent reaction in the north. In July, 1966, a coup led by Hausa army officers ousted Ironsi (who was killed) and placed Lt. Col. Yakubu Gowon at the head of a new military regime. In Sept., 1966, many Igbo living in the north were massacred.
Kaduna Nzeogwu
In May, 1967, the Eastern parliament gave Lt. Col. Chukwuemeka O. Ojukwu, the region's leader, authority to declare the region an independent republic. Gowon proclaimed a state of emergency, and, as a gesture to the Igbos, redivided Nigeria into 12 states (including one, the East-Central state, that comprised most of the Igbo people). However, on May 30, Ojukwu proclaimed the independent Republic of Biafra, and in July fighting broke out between Biafra and Nigeria. Biafra made some advances early in the war, but soon federal forces gained the initiative. After much suffering, Biafra capitulated on Jan. 15, 1970, and the secession ended. The early 1970s were marked by reconstruction in areas that were formerly part of Biafra, by the gradual reintegration of the Igbo into national life, and by a slow return to civilian rule.
Yakubu Gowon, and Emeka Ojukwu
Nigeria joined the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in 1971.
Gowon's regime was overthrown in 1975 by Gen. Murtala Muhammad and a group of officers who pledged a return to civilian rule. In the mid-1970s plans were approved for a new capital to be built at Abuja, a move that drained the national economy. Muhammad was assassinated in an attempted coup one year after taking office and succeeded by Gen. Olusegun Obasanjo. In a crisis brought on by rapidly falling oil revenues, the government restricted public opposition to the regime, controlled union activity and student movements, nationalized land, and increased oil industry regulation. Nigeria sought Western support under Obasanjo while supporting African nationalist movements.

In 1979 elections were held under a new constitution, bringing Alhaji Shehu Shagari to the presidency. Relations with the United States reached a new high in 1979 with a visit by President Jimmy Carter.

Nigeria wins the African Nations Cup football tournament for the first time. In 1980 the team had such players as Leyton Orient's John Chiedozie, Alloy Atuegbu, Onyedika, Segun Odegbami, Felix Owolabi, and Muda Lawal. Christian Chukwu-led Super Eagles won the Cup for the first time in Lagos.

The Shagari Government expelled thousands of foreign laborers in 1983, citing social disturbances as the reason. The same year, Shagari was re-elected president but overthrown after only a few months in office – by Buhari and Idiagbon.

In 1985 a coup led by Maj. Gen. Ibrahim Babangida brought a new regime to power, along with the promise of a return to civilian rule. A new constitution was promulgated in 1990, which set national elections for 1992. Nigeria's golden eaglet (Under 16) football team also won the first under-16 football world cup in 1985.
Babangida annulled the results of that presidential election, claiming fraud. A new election in 1993 ended in the apparent presidential victory of Moshood Abiola, but Babangida again alleged fraud. Soon unrest led to Babangida's resignation. Ernest Shonekan, a civilian appointed as interim leader, was forced out after three months by Gen. Sani Abacha, a long-time ally of Babangida, who became president and banned all political institutions and labor unions. In 1994, Abiola was arrested and charged with treason. Nigeria's golden eaglet (under 17) football team won the first under-117 football world cup in Japan 1993. In 1994, Nigeria's male senior football team (the Super Eagles) also won the 1994 Africa Nation's Cup, and qualified for their first world cup in USA.

In 1995, Abacha extended military rule for three more years, while proposing a program for a return to civilian rule after that period; his proposal was rejected by opposition leaders, but five political parties were established in 1996. The Abacha regime drew international condemnation in late 1995 when Ken Saro-Wiwa, a prominent writer, and eight other human-rights activists were executed; the trial was condemned by human-rights groups and led to Nigeria's suspension from the Commonwealth of Nations. Also in 1995, a number of army officers, including former head of state General Obasanjo, were arrested in connection with an alleged coup attempt. In 1996, Kudirat Abiola, an activist on behalf of her imprisoned husband, was murdered.

In 1996, Nigeria's Olympic football team (dream team) won the gold medal at Atlanta Olympics in USA. The team defeat Argentina 3-2 in the finals.

Abacha died suddenly in June, 1998, and was succeeded by Gen. Abdulsalam Abubakar, who immediately freed Obasanjo and other political prisoners. Riots followed the announcement that Abiola had also died unexpectedly in July, 1998, while in detention. Abubakar then announced an election timetable leading to a return to civilian rule within a year. All former political parties were disbanded and new ones formed. A series of local, state, and federal elections were held between Dec., 1998, and Feb., 1999, culminating in the presidential contest, won by General Obasanjo. The elections were generally deemed fair by international monitors. The People's Democratic party (PDP; the centrist party of General Obasanjo) dominated the elections; the other two leading parties were the Alliance for Democracy (a Yoruba party of the southwest, considered to be progressive), and the All People's party (a conservative party based in the north).

PUBLISHED: February 26, 2018 at 7:16 p.m. | UPDATED: February 27, 2018 at 3:20 p.m.
Update: Badly injured Santa Ana police K-9 nearly loses all of his teeth while chasing down carjacker.
A man sought on suspicion of assaulting a police officer led authorities Monday evening on a chase from Santa Ana to Irvine that ended badly for the alleged culprit, who crashed the carjacked vehicle and then was taken down by a police K-9.
The suspect was wanted in Garden Grove for assault with a deadly weapon on an officer on Feb. 18, Garden Grove police said. He was identified as 37-year-old Antonio Padilla Jr. of Riverside County.

In the Feb. 18 assault, Padilla tried to run over an officer with his truck during a traffic stop. He was also wanted for a parole violation out of Riverside County and has been under Post-Release Community Supervision, which means he was under the charge of the probation authorities, according to Garden Grove police.
"The motor officer was writing Padilla a traffic citation and Padilla recklessly backed his truck up, almost striking the officer," said Garden Grove Police Lt. Carl Whitney. "The officer narrowly missed being run over."
Padilla drove off and wasn't found until Monday evening at about 5:50 p.m.
Garden Grove detectives in unmarked cars were trying to arrest Padilla in Santa Ana after spotting his 2016 GMC Sierra truck and asked for assistance from the Santa Ana Police Department, said Santa Ana police Cpl. Anthony Bertagna.

After Padilla refused to pull over, Santa Ana officers followed in pursuit, Bertagna said. At one point he tried to hit a police vehicle with his car. An Orange County Sheriff's helicopter also joined in the pursuit.
When Padilla reached Irvine, he ditched the pickup truck and carjacked a woman in a black Audi SUV, said Kim Mohr of the Irvine Police Department. Padilla pulled the woman from the vehicle and went inside. The woman's brother tried to intervene when he saw the carjacking taking place, but the suspect drove off after nearly hitting both of them with the SUV.
The pursuit ended when the man crashed the stolen vehicle at about 6 p.m. on Kelvin and Derian avenues, just west of Jamboree Road, Mohr said.
He tried to flee on foot, but was taken down by a K9. He was detained and was taken to a hospital to be treated for injuries he sustained during a struggle with police and the K9.
Whitney said that after his release from the hospital he was booked in jail for "numerous felonies" including assault with a deadly weapon for trying to hit a police vehicle and carjacking.
Irvine police will investigate the carjacking that occurred in that city and Santa Ana investigators will handle the report of the K9 apprehension.

Agents Of SHIELD Season 5 Premiere Date Revealed
By AJ Caulfield/Oct. 7, 2017 5:13 pm EST
Warning: This article contains mild spoilers for Marvel's Agents of SHIELD seasons 4 and 5.
We finally know when Marvel's Agents of SHIELD will head back to ABC for its next season.
As reported by Deadline, the much-adored Marvel comic series is set to premiere its fifth season on December 1, just after Marvel's Inhumans concludes its season run and one month earlier than the rumored premiere date of January 2018 that was discussed a few months ago. At the Agents of SHIELD panel during New York Comic Con on Saturday, Marvel Television head Jeph Loeb announced that the series' fifth season will kick off with an extra-special two-hour premiere beginning at 8 p.m. ET, and will return to its regular broadcast schedule of 9 p.m. ET starting December 8.
ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey spoke about the exciting announcement, promising that the upcoming season is going to seriously impress fans across the board. "We're so proud of the way that Marvel's Agents of SHIELD has grown creatively every season. The series is a top performer for us especially in delayed viewing where we see almost triple-digit increases," said Dungey. "Season five is their strongest season yet, and we can't wait for the fans to see it. We feel that the move to Friday, creating a 'genre night' on ABC, appeals to the show's loyal fan base."
Loeb also confirmed that the new season will take place in space, which makes perfect sense given where season four left off. We last saw Agent Coulson (Clark Gregg) and the team, along with the help of Ghost Rider, saving the world from danger. However, the celebration was quickly shot down when a mysterious man, accompanied by an elite squad, interrupted their good time. Coulson was then seen on a ship in, you guessed it, deep space.
Season five of Agents of SHIELD will feature the return of Gregg, as well as Ming-Na Wen as Agent Melinda May, Chloe Bennet as Daisy Johnson, Iain De Caestecker as Agent Leo Fitz, Elizabeth Henstridge as Agent Jemma Simmons, Henry Simmons as Agent Alphonso "Mack" MacKenzie, and Natalia Cordova-Buckley as Elena "Yo-Yo" Rodriguez. According to Loeb, the new season will also feature the directorial skills of none other than Gregg himself, as he directed the sixth episode of season five. "It was really an amazing experience," Gregg said. "There's some amazing fight [scenes] in it."
During the show's panel at the event, fans also got to view the first 20 minutes of the new season's premiere episode. As detailed by Deadline, the episode starts off with the team getting kidnapped, but this time, we see it from the perspective of the man who abducted them. It turns out that everyone was taken, but the only one left behind was Fitz. The reason for his omission? He wasn't "on the list."
From there, the team is sent through a monolith that transports them to a space station, where Daisy, Coulson, Mack, Simmons, and Yo-Yo face off with an alien monster. On the sidelines, May sits injured after being impaled during the journey, and is then captured by a man wearing a mask reminiscent of Star-Lord's from Guardians of the Galaxy.
Here's the official logline for Agents of SHIELD season 5: "Last season, Agent Coulson and the team saved the world with the help of Ghost Rider. In a rare moment of celebration, the team's night off was interrupted by a mysterious man and an elite squad. The next thing we saw was Coulson onboard a ship... in deep space! Together, they will have to discover where they are and how to get home while the clock ticks out on humanity. These secrets and mysteries are only the beginning for what is sure to be the most surprising and exhilarating SHIELD adventure yet!"
Based on all this new information, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD simply can't return soon enough.

Top 10 Most Amazing Places To Watch Football
With almost 5,000 stadiums in 224 different countries,
it's impossible for everyone to definitively agree on where is best to watch football.
Supporters all have their favourites, borne out of tribalism or otherwise, but there are some footballing cauldrons which must be seen to be believed.
With stunning views, captivating atmospheres and historical context aplenty, we've identified the 10 stadiums football obsessives must have on their bucket lists.
1. Tivoli-Neu Stadion
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Nordkette mountains,
Tivoli-Neu Stadion plays host to Austrian outfit Wacker Innsbruck.
Opened in 2000, the 15,200-seater stadium was one of the venues for Euro 2008,
hosting three matches including two of eventual winners Spain's group games - its capacity was increased to 30,000 for the tournament.
Austrian Bundesliga action,
breathtaking mountain views and a stand equipped for safe standing; what more could you want?
2. Estadio Azteca
From hosting Italy 4-3 West Germany in 1970 - a clash many called 'The Game of the Century'
- to witnessing footballing giants such as Pelé and Diego Maradona strut their stuff on its hallowed turf,
Estadio Azteca is undoubtedly one of the world's most iconic stadiums.
Two World Cup finals have been played out in one of Mexico's biggest attractions,
which is now the home of the national team and Liga MX side Club America.
An intimidating cauldron for any visiting team, who not only have to deal with the feverous fans but also altitude
- the stadium is astonishingly over 2,200 metres above sea level.
3. Estádio Municipal de Braga
Location: Braga, Portugal
Developed by multi-award winning architect Eduardo Souto de Moura,
Estádio Municipal de Braga's unique design has garnered admirers the world over.
Carved into the Monte Castro quarry, the home of Primeira Liga side Braga only has two stands: one shows granite, the other a view of the city.
A must-see for football fans and tourists, the stadium
- winner of the Chicago Athenaeum International Architecture Award for best global design in 2006 - hosted two matches during Euro 2004.
4. Estadio BBVA Bancomer
Location: Guadalupe, Greater Monterrey, Mexico
Nicknamed 'El Gigante de Acero' - Spanish for 'The Steel Giant' - Estadio BBVA Bancomer plays host to Liga MX side Monterrey,
its design influenced by the mountains that can be seen from the stands.
After opening in 2015, the stadium has already seen its capacity increase by 51,500 to 53,500,
with many believing it to be the most intimidating ground in Latin America.
Recently-built stadia have often been criticised for the distance between the pitch and the stands,
but one of the biggest assets of Monterrey's home is just how close the supporters are to the action;
the distance between the pitch and seats is the minimum allowed by FIFA.
5. Estadio Antonio Vespucio Liberti (El Monumental)
A real footballing cathedral, El Monumental is the host of Argentine giants River Plate and the national team;
it was the centrepiece for a Mario Kempes-inspired Argentina when they achieved glory in the 1978 World Cup.
Opened in 1938 following a surge in River's popularity, the 61,321-seater stadium quickly became home for Los Millonarios,
who endured a rather nomadic existence before settling for their base in northern Buenos Aires.
Renovated in 2010, El Monumental was the brainwave of president Antonio Vespucio Liberti,
who fought naysayers to gain approval and eventually deliver a ground that is a must-visit for every football fanatic.
6. La Bombonera
Location: La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina
They say in Argentina: "La Bombonera does not tremble, it beats."
Nicknamed the 'the chocolate box' for its steep stands that almost stack the fans on top of one another,
the incessant jumping and stomping from the Boca Juniors' faithful makes the D-shaped Bombonera vibrate,
with the subsequent tremors felt in the stands and on the pitch.
"When I first entered La Bombonera, I started running to warm up and felt like the ground was shaking,"
said Ariel Krasouski, title winner with Boca in 1981. "At first, I thought it was my legs, and I was worried.
"Then I realised that it wasn't me, it was the ground. The ground was moving. Later, I realised it happened to all the players.
When La Bombonera is full and all the fans are singing, it has that powerful effect on you. Not just mentally, but also physically."
Built in 1934, La Bombonera was named the 'most fearsome' in a poll conducted on the Copa Libertadores' website a few years ago,
and watching from the top of the stand is not advised if one is afraid of heights.
You too can become a Boca ultra, if only for one day - tourists can take part in the 'Adrenalina Tour',
immersing themselves with the club's most die-hard fans and being enveloped by the mini-earthquakes they create.
7. Mercedes-Benz Stadium
Location: Atlanta, USA
A piece of technological and architectural brilliance, the Mercedes-Benz Stadium is more Times Square than football ground.
With its eight-piece retractable roof - able to open and close in less than 10 minutes
- a 'halo board' comprised of over 63,000 square ft of screen and a Mega Column with a three-sided LED screen,
the home of MLS outfit Atlanta United is designed with the purpose of providing a unique experience for the fans,
who can also take advantage of the refreshingly cheap pricing for food and drink.
Opened in 2017, the 71,000-strong arena has already witnessed history,
playing host to Atlanta's MLS Cup win back in December 2018 and the 53rd Superbowl in February.
8. Soccer City (FNB Stadium)
Location: Johannesburg, South Africa
Its shape inspired by a calabash - An African cooking utensil - Soccer City's unique design has left many in awe, including none other than Diego Maradona,
who hoped to lead Argentina to glory in the flagship venue of the 2010 World Cup.
"I have played in many stadiums but this is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. I hope to be back here on July 11 for the World Cup final."
Things didn't quite work out for Maradona and La Albiceleste, who bowed out in the last 16, but Soccer City did host a historic World Cup final,
as the Netherlands went away from their Total Football philosophy to wage war on Spain, who ran out victorious in extra-time.
Built in 1987, the 95,000-seater stadium promises a striking view for all with no restricted views and no seat further than 100 metres away from the pitch,
while the 10 vertical lines are aligned with the nine other stadiums which helped host the greatest show on earth nine years ago.
9. Camp Nou
Millions flock to Camp Nou to witness the brilliance of Barcelona legend Lionel Messi, but the stadium's existence is largely down to another Barça legend.
The sheer demand to see 1950's icon László Kubala influenced the club hierarchy's decision to move from Les Corts, where the Blaugrana spend 35 years.
Camp Nou opened in 1957 and was second to only La Maracana in terms of capacity,
until health and safety reasons saw the club had to reduce the amount of spectators it could hold from 120,000 to just under 90,000.
Despite the reduction, it's still the largest stadium in Europe and was used for the 1982 World Cup and the 1992 Olympics,
and there are plans to increase the capacity to over 100,000 in the next few years.
An old-fashioned monument - arguably the biggest attraction Barcelona has to offer - Camp Nou not only offers wonderful football but breathtaking views of the city,
while the noise generated from the fervent group of supporters situated in the lower South stand ensures for a lively occasion whoever the opponent.
The enthralling museum detailing Barca's illustrious history is well worth a pre-match visit, too.
10. Krestovsky Stadium
Location: St Petersburg, Russia
Home of Russian giants Zenit St Petersburg,
the construction of the Krestovsky Stadium took longer than anyone had initially anticipated, but the finished product looks well worth the wait.
Due to be built in 2008, funding issues and the death of Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa meant the stadium did not open its doors until March 2017.
Kurokawa wanted the stadium to look a spaceship that had landed on earth; it's safe to say his vision was brought to life.
Able to house almost 65,000 Zenit or Russia fans, the ground's extendable roof and retractable pitch helps combat the country's biting weather
- it is equipped to maintain a temperature of 20 degrees and above - while the views from behind the seats offer stunning views of the Gulf of Finland.
Krestovsky hosted no fewer than seven 2018 World Cup matches and is due to host three Euro 2020 fixtures.
Fans looking for an adrenaline rush needn't wait until they get into the stadium; amusement park 'Divo Ostrov' can be found on the walk from the nearest train station,
offering a host of rollercoasters and even a sausage eating championship.

These are a direct, non-ghosting replacement pinball led for the 555 style base. This is a frosted pinball LED that does not ghost. Great for replacing pinball LEDs that will ghost on your game.
Ghosting is when the pinball LED is faintly lit, but not supposed to be. This causes issues during game play as it can be confusing as to which target to shoot for. These pinball leds will correct that issue for you!


There are many thickeners available for use in personal care formulas, both naturally derived and synthetic, but many have limitations. Some have to be pH adjusted before they will thicken, some are just hard to work with and do not go into solution easily and a few create an undesirable rheology. All can become problematic when searching for that perfect thickener.
PURE-GEL® modified starches are a line of personal care thickeners manufactured by Grain Processing Corporation. These thickeners were designed to provide stable viscosity over a wide pH range and will hold up under manufacturing stresses such as homogenization as well as high heat and freeze/thaw conditions. These starches exhibit low hot viscosity so they formulate easily, require no pH adjustment and will gain a short-textured, stable viscosity when cooled.
PURE-GEL® modified starches are manufactured from corn, a renewable resource. These starches are also very mild which allows them to be used in a myriad of formulations. PURE-GEL® starches can be used to thicken creams, lotions, body washes, shampoos and other hair care products. They leave behind a smooth skinfeel that can even eliminate the need of silicones in some lotion and cream formulations.

Happy Mother's Day To All My SiStars.
Today I remembered that I was human and I gave myself a break. Always accomplishing the impossible. Giving birth was my first experience, although I felt more like a Goddess that had found my calling. Then as if I was a triathlete on my last steps, I was pushed into an unknown, sleep deprived world and in order to succeed I had to dig deeper than I ever had before. Living in survival, fight or flight mode, like a Lioness. I became a better version of myself. A Woman who will and can do anything. But today I was reminded that I am indeed human.

Free Fire: Review
Free Fire is a one dimensional film with a great cast. It all takes place during one evening and for the most part it consists of people shooting at eachother for 85 minutes. There is a dash of humor, which at times feels out of place. That becomes the core of the film, violence and misplaced humor. They are calling it a comedy-thriller and it's really neither. On a random evening in nineteen seventy something Boston, a group of oddball characters are attempting to complete an arms deal. Suddenly the transaction starts to unravel for some unexpected reasons and then it all goes horribly wrong. Certainly Free Fire could easily be granted the honor of being the most long and annoying shootout in the history of film. This is like a Quentin Tarantino scene from one of his films that was turned into an entire movie. The cast almost saves this little film. Oscar winner Brie Larson, Armie Hammer and Cillian Murphy bring enough screen presence to make this offering watchable, but in the end it's not enough. I get the joke but it's not that funny or creative and it was not worth all of this effort.
Bottom Line: Free Fire is a shoot em up one trick pony that takes place in one evening in an abandoned warehouse. I can't recommend this one. It's average at best.

Terry Brooks is American author who writes fantasy fiction novels. More than 20 of his books have been featured in New York Times bestsellers and over twenty-one million copies of his novels in print. He is one of the best-selling living fantasy writers. He was born in Sterling, Illinois and spent most of his life there. He went to Hamilton College where he earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in Literature in 1966. He later joined Washington and Lee University where he obtained a law degree. Before becoming a full-time writer, Brooks served as an attorney.
The author had been a writer since he was in high school mainly writing, fiction, western, and science fiction and nonfiction genres. During his college life, he was given a book copy of The Lord of the Rings which inspired Brooks to write in one genre. Immediately after finishing the two sequels to The Sword of Shannara, the author started writing a new series which would later be known as Landover novels. He then wrote four book series titled The Heritage of Shannara. For the next one decade and four years, the author wrote more Landover books and then went ahead to write The Word and Void trilogy. Brooks lives in northwest Oregon with his loving wife, Judine.
Bloodfire Quest appeared in 2013 Booklist Starred Review while The Wards of Faerie was featured in 2012 Publishers Weekly starred review.
The Shannara works by Terry Brooks have been adapted into American fantasy drama TV series titled The Shannara Chronicles. The series feature Poppy Drayton, Austin Butler, Manu Bennett, and Ivana Baquero.
These are two best books authored by the American bestselling author of epic fantasy novels Terry Brooks. The Sword of Shannara and Running with the Demon.
The Sword of Shannara: Very long time ago, the war between the ancient Evil destroyed the world and forced humanity to compete with other races such as trolls, gnomes, elves, and dwarfs. In the peaceful Shady Vale, a half- elfin Shea knows little of trouble until when a giant Avalon with mysterious Druidic powers reveals some plots to destroy the world.
The only weapon that can fight against this Power of Darkness is the Sword of Shannara and can only be used by a true heir of Shannara. On Shea, is the last of the bloodline, and the only hope for all the races. Moments later, a Skull Bearers, flies into the Vale to terminate Shea. However, to save Vale, Shea flees thus drawing the Skull Bearer after him.
The first series installment The Sword of Shannara is an interesting book to read. The characters, Shea Balinor and all the other supporting characters are beautiful and well crafted. They are strong, brave and real at the same time. They had fears, doubts and yet pushed through to try and do whatever needed to be done.
Running with the Demon: One of the hottest days of July, two men arrive in Hopewell, Illinois, the site of a lengthy and bitter steel strike. One of the men is a demon, a servant of the Void, who is determined to use the frustration and the anger of the society to achieve some secret mission.
The other man is John Ross, a warrior of the Word, a man whom if he fails in his mission life on earth would become a living hell. He possesses the ability to see the future, but does he have the power to change the future that he can predict?
Now hanging in the balance is the life of a 14-year-old girl who is mysteriously linked to both men, and the lives of the residents of Hopewell, the future of the country. Moreover, the fourth of the hot month of July, while families and friends picnic in Sinnissippi Park while fireworks explode in the jubilation of freedom and independence, the fate of the human will indeed be decided.
Running…..the Demon, the debut novel in Word & Void series and the author neatly weaves together fading innocence, family drama, Enlightenment, cataclysm and the entire plot will change the way you think about fantasy novels. As imaginative as it is believable, as frightening as it is wondrous, this fantasy tale is exquisitely written to be put down after the last page is turned.
When Does The Next Terry Brooks book come out?
Terry Brooks doesn't seem to have an upcoming book. Their newest book is Street Freaks and was released on October, 2nd 2018.

The gjitonia is a form of consolidated social cooperation and today little present in the whole historical Arbëreshë region.

It differs from the typical Italian "rione" for its urban architecture and social contribution.

Etymology

The word gjitonìa is a complex word that contains social values of parental extraction of the ancient extended family Arbëreshë; literally from Albanian gjitonìa, gjit / ngjit or 'neighborhood' or 'the neighbor', in detail the medieval Albanian word, it is used by arvaniti, or those Albanian populations established secularly in present-day Greece, while it is less widespread, or in other cases disappeared, in Albania (or 'place of the five senses', gjitonë is "literally the opposite of the indigenous neighborhood") [without source]. The origins of gjitonia in the countries of southern Italy are linked to three fundamental elements of a material type: the fence that delimits the space shared by the family, the state, or the house, meeting place and material refuge and the botanical garden, the place of Pharmacy. A journey to the places of the historical region.

Gjitonië comes from the union of the words gjindë tonë ('people of the same linguistic tonality') (or in another version it would derive from gjithë tonë 'all ours'), and is made up of two words: Gji indicating 'the people' and tonië meaning 'people who are able to make the tones of the five senses vibrate in their lived environments and confirm their belonging through the idiomatic metric'.

Architectural-urban aspect

Unlike the districts, the "gjitonie" are small agglomerations of houses often attached to each other (often understood as the smallest portion of the urban fabric) (however, as it represents a historically complex social phenomenon and as it represents a Mediterranean model, this definition does not find all enthusiasts and scholars unanimous) [without source]. The peculiarity is in the constitution of small houses that are usually built in a semicircle, flanking a "mother" house called "stately home" and all overlook a small square or open space. The gjitonia unlike the neighborhood that unites people in the sense of built, represents a social model that crosses what could be found in the indigenous neighborhood. The social structure is foreign to the typical architecture of Italian centers. The various "gjitonie" are connected to each other by small and narrow alleys, so much so that it is difficult to access them by car and in recent times this has penalized the historic centers favoring large residential complexes.

The "gjitonie" represents for the Arbereshe, Arberi or Arbanon the place of the root of the original extended family stock, it originated in the aftermath of the growth of the group that did not exceed but twenty elements, reached this name it expired and was repeated each time the generated groups reached the partition number. for this the phenomenon continually generated the search for the original stock and in order to become part of it, it was necessary to provide a series of elements of historical memory that could guarantee the originality of the dynasty. for this reason the gjitonia is the indefinite place within which the sounds and the proximity of a scattered identity are perceived and which meets to share moments and difficulties that life has in store for us

In the case of Lungro, the "gjitonie" and the urban center were the focus of a historical-urbanistic study.

Social aspect

The social aspect of " gjitonia " mainly refers to an ancient and historical experience where at the basis of human relationships coexisted values of hospitality and solidarity between the families of the neighborhood and where the aggregation was lived without difference of social classes . Mainly for the Italian-Albanian communities the " gjitonia " is a world where relationships were so strong as to create real family relationships, so much so that the phrase in Arbëresh is typical. Gjitoni gjirì  "("  vinato parentato  ").

Perhaps handed down by the Albanians of origin, the gjitonia is close to the values of kanùn ("Family, Individual and Hospitality") albeit contaminated and altered by customs over the years and local customs. The gjitonia has therefore become a place of socialization and contagion of knowledge and anecdotes or where one was preparing to learn a "profession" as a beginner, but it is also still a place where sacred and profane are intertwined, or , where religious songs alternate with fairy tales and popular songs.

Typically the " gjitonie " are also the place where votive bonfires for the saints are lit or where stops for religious processions are set up; these events are treated with the participation of the whole neighborhood as a unit.

The use of the "half-door", the sharing of basic necessities, the participation of the whole gjitonia in mourning and joys are some of the most visible social aspects of this phenomenon that has been diminishing over the years with depopulation of the communities Arbëreshë. In Lungro, for example, to make the meaning of " gjitonia " more marked, the neighborhood used to (and in some cases still today) get together for a mate (an Argentinian drink imported from Lungresi emigrants).

 Modern times
In recent years, for various causes such as depopulation and demographic decline in the first place, instability hydrogeological, unappealing houses, architectural barriers, historic centers not accessible by cars and other reasons, this phenomenon has is slowly fading; this "light" is kept by the elderly who continue with their daily rites to keep alive the traditional gjitonia arbëreshe.

In the village of San Basile (CS) since 2010 the " A house in San Basile " initiative has been active by the municipal administration, or the sale of houses in the historic center at reasonable prices to encourage repopulation, the tourist vocation of the place and "stop" the loss of " gjitonie ".

1. What is it like to be an atheist? How does it feel?
2. What is it like to celebrate holidays like Easter?
1. Atheism provokes a few different feelings at different times. Remembering my former Catholicism, it's a relief to no longer worry about Hell, or else a god working against my aims in life. In a group of mostly (nominally) religious people, which is most groups, it can feel isolating, especially given the possibility that being open about your atheism will immediately turn some people against you. Considering the population at large, I feel a great concern that not only are the majority very likely to be wrong about their gods, but that some of their efforts to please those gods are wasted – or actively harming people.
2. Widely observed, traditionally religious holidays like Easter usually have secular components that anyone can enjoy. Easter has the bunny and the chocolate, Christmas has Santa and the general urge towards parties and togetherness, Halloween has the whole spooky angle and so forth. I make the most of these aspects, and of course the vacation time if applicable, and don't begrudge the religious their observances.
3. Green, with deep blue a close second. I try not to read into it.
Are you a communist? Atheism is an indirect, cowardly assault on the Constitution. Your overlords think they can eliminate God-given Rights by destroying God with a pathetic religion for low testosterone, limp wrist pussies.
I'm not a communist. Communism dictates atheism because it declares religion "the opiate of the masses," a drug to keep them from feeling the pain of their oppression and overcoming it. It's a means to an end and theology doesn't enter into it. (And once communism gets going, it usually functions as a pseudo-religion itself.) I'm an atheist simply because I don't believe in gods. I run a site about it rather than keeping it to myself because I think people would be better off without their faith in gods, on balance.
I'm not an American either (I assume you are), so I have very little stake in your Constitution. I do know God is not mentioned in it, nor in the Bill of Rights – only in the Declaration of Independence. Your rights as an American citizen are not dependent on the existence of a god, even though most of the founding fathers apparently believed in one. They wrote those rights into secular law, and thus human beings endowed each other with enforceable rights regardless of what they believe.
Atheism is not a religion. It is instead a rejection of the position of belief in any god. No commandments spring from this rejection, nor an origin story for the world. Atheists must look outside of religion for their guidance and core values, and fortunately secular philosophy is a rich field.
As for the "low testosterone" part, I probably prove this in your mind just by not attacking you in kind. It seems an insult for its own sake, being entirely divorced from the subject matter. I hope it made you feel better.
Hello, I'm currently studying Year 10. I would like to ask you a few questions with my Religion major assignment. If it's okay.
2. What is the reason you became an Atheist?
Sure it's okay Sheena, but wow, that's all they told you to ask? But then I suppose "why" is the only question that's really on one's mind when faced with a person whose position is so different from one's own.
1. My name's Alex, and you can give them any surname you want and they'll accept it. Alex is a very common given name. Or be honest and say you asked a public blogger, this site will prove you right and they'll understand my unwillingness to throw my whole name around.
2. I was a self-professed Christian until about the age of 11-12, when I was suddenly shocked by the fact that I didn't have an answer to the Problem of Evil: why evil exists in the world if there's a God who's all-powerful, all-knowing and absolutely good. (Years later I didn't just find one answer but far too many different ones; it became clear that no one really knows. But that was after the fact.) It was too hard to think about and I had teen things to focus on, and I moved from a Catholic primary school to a secular high school, so I didn't consider religion seriously for almost 15 years. Without the constant reinforcement from within and without I barely prayed, I only went to church for Easter and Christmas and zoned out both times, and I only read the Bible when tracking down quotes (like the speech from Pulp Fiction).
Then in 2006 I read about Richard Dawkins and New Atheism, when journalists were all writing their first articles on the subject. Without reading any of Dawkins' work or knowing any of his contemporaries' talking points, I suddenly asked myself whether I still believed in God. It turned out that I didn't, my simple opinion was that His existence no longer seemed likely. I was by definition an atheist. You should note that this is when I realised I was an atheist – the point when I became one could have been any time in the preceding years.
I recognised that this was a pretty big turnaround, so THEN I started digging into the meat of the debate to see if I was missing something. I searched the Web for the best arguments in favour of God, or any other god. Every one of them was plainly flawed (as I've chronicled in my Great Big Arguments series). There were certainly plenty of people willing to defend the arguments, but their defenses just weren't convincing. I hadn't known of this general weakness in the "apologetic" as a Christian boy, but it didn't matter because I didn't even know the arguments, I had merely accepted what I was told. I'd only known atheists existed because my father is one, and he only ever told me on two occasions.
So there you have it. I'm an atheist because I took a break from religion long enough to lose my emotional connections to it, and when I returned to the subject it was easier to see that faith was not intellectually justified. If the right justification finally came along it would be a different story, but I'm still waiting. In the meantime I live my life as if there is no god, and from that perspective much to do with religion appears pretty rotten.
Why do atheists mostly dismiss the existence of an intelligent creator of any kind?
I see no firm evidence of any god being especially the Old Testament one, he doesn't seem to be aware the Earth moves among many other things!
But I accept the possibility that one could exist and may have caused the Big Bang.
Until we discover what did cause the Big Bang it seems arrogant to dismiss the possibility.
Athiests are accused of being arrogant (mainly by arrogant religious people). I wonder if they're right or are most atheists really agnostics?
It all depends, heavily, on the atheist.
Like you I acknowledge the possibility, however remote, that there is or was a creator god or equivalent entity. To know for a fact that there wasn't one would take more information than the human race as access to at the moment. I'm still an atheist because I don't think or believe that there was a creator, but I accept that there's a chance I'm wrong simply because I don't know. That makes me an agnostic atheist, same as Dawkins, same as Dennett and same as many other prominent atheists who spell out their positions in public. I think most or at least a lot of atheists are agnostic but statistics on that are hard to come by.
Those who claim to know there's no god are gnostic atheists and when I discuss gods with them, like you I ask them how they think they know.
Sorry it took so long to get to these next four, but they were incorrectly submitted in the comments of the question submission page instead of using the form, and I've worked through the correct submissions first.
It's quite simple Rachael. If you actually don't believe in God, you usually don't believe there's a Heaven or a Hell either. Removing the existence of God from your worldview doesn't just leave a Christian worldview with a God-shaped hole cut out of it. The whole afterlife mythology goes out the window (possibly after a long period of "faithdrawal"), and you're left with one life to live as best you can. So you do that, often with a great deal less fear.

MOON Ik Hwan
* 2. Juni 1918 - † 18. Januar 1994
aus Wikipedia:
Moon Ik-hwan (June 2, 1918 – January 18, 1994) was a South Korean pastor, theologian, poet, and activist engaged in various social movements. He was also the father of Moon Sung-keun, a noted actor in South Korea.[1][2]
He was born in Longjing, Jilin as the first son of the Reverend, Moon Jae-rin and mother, Shin Sin-muk. He had two brothers and two sisters. He and his brother became pastors. He was raised in Bukgando where Korean independence movement was centered. After finishing up education at Myeongdong Elementary school and Eunjin Middle school that ethnic Koreans established, Moon went to Sungsil Middle School in Pyongyang, and then Yongjeong Gwangmyeong School in Bukgando. Although Moon Ik-hwan entered Tokyo Union Theological Seminary in Japan, he was dismissed from the school because of his refusal to enlist himself to Japanese army. He then transferred to Bongcheon Seminary (봉천신학교) in Manchuria and served as a preacher at a Korean church. In 1947, he graduated Hansin University and received the imposition of hands. After he earned his master's degree from Princeton Theological Seminary in the United States, he returned to South Korea and began to lecture the Old Testament at Yonsei University and Hanshin University.[3] Later, he worked on translating the Old Testament until he devoted himself on unification of two Koreas and democracy of South Korea.
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (November 2008)
Moon worked as the main chief for the translation on the Old Testament by a joint collaboration of the Protestant and Catholic church in South Korea for 8 years. Moon was imprisoned in 1976 for dissident activities[3] and again in 1986 for his alleged encouragement of student activists at Seoul National University and his leadership in the protest at Inch'on in May of that year.[4] (3·1민주구국선언).[3] According to the New York Times:
Moon was jailed five times, for a total of 10 years, for dissident activities. In the spring of 1993 he was released early from a five-year sentence for making an unapproved visit to North Korea, where he spoke with leaders about the possibility of unification, in 1989. South Korean law bars contacts with Communists without prior approval.[5]

Government Departments: Smoking
House of Lords written question – answered on 26th June 2012.
All Written Answers on 26 Jun 2012
Lord Laird UUP
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Astor of Hever on 13 June concerning arrangements for officials of the Ministry of Defence who smoke during office hours (WA 254), in what way the information was assessed to be too expensive to collect, by whom, and when, and why other departments were able to provide similar information at proportionate costs.
Hansard source (Citation: HL Deb, 26 June 2012, c50W)
Lord Astor of Hever The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Defence
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has over 900 sites throughout the United Kingdom. The facilities for smoking arrangements are a local decision. The MoD does not hold this information centrally, and could therefore only be provided by collating information from every site, at disproportionate cost.
In respect of London, there is no smoking in Main Building or the Old War Office or within five metres of an entrance, steps, ramp or building window. Ashtray bins are provided beyond the south entrance ramps towards the Embankment and Whitehall entrances to the south car park.
The MoD smoking at work policy is stated in JSP 375 MoD Health and Safety Handbook Volume 2 Leaflet 50, a copy of which is in the Library of the House.

Q: Removing Specific Lines from a Richtextbox in C# I have a checkboxlist where the user chooses which kind of lines he will have removed from a richtextbox with a text printout. For example, a header of a printout, with company name, date, etc.
These unwanted lines change from every other text file, that's why the user needs to choose via a checkbox which lines are going to be deleted.
For example, the string PAGE 1 OF 12 repeats on every page, but, of course, the page changes. So there's a substring to get just the start of the sequence, so it can remove all of the lines that start with PAGE. The printed date starts with the word DATE, and should also be removed.
But this is not the important part.
The important part is that the amount of lines to be eliminated changes for every file. Sometimes it won't have a company name; sometimes it will.
I did a FOR loop, going through each of the checked lines to be deleted, and deleting each and every one from the richtextbox. Then got back to the beginning and repeated the process FOREACH checked item.
It takes a very long time.
So I came out with this solution, using two textBox for this example:
string searchKeyword = textBox1.Text;
string searchKeyword2 = textBox2.Text;

var lines = richTextBox1.Lines;
foreach (string line in lines.Where(l => (!l.StartsWith(searchKeyword)) && (!l.StartsWith(searchKeyword2))))
    _items.Add(line);
listBox2.DataSource = null;
listBox2.DataSource = _items;

This is much faster. But how to do the search dynamically, using each of checked items in 'checklistbox' so I can come out with a clean output?
My question is: how can I replace the lambda string for a variable amount of searchkeywords?
This is the kind of code that works, but it takes a very long time:
listBox1.Items.Clear();
List<string> substrings = new List<string>();
foreach (var item in checkedListBox1.CheckedItems)
{
    substrings.Add(item.ToString().Substring(0, 4));
}

At the end, what I need is to get the chosen lines from a richtextbox and eliminate those lines, in a clever way.
