Die islamistische Sekte Boko Haram, die 2014 durch die Entführung von über 200 christlichen Schülerinnen Schlagzeilen machte, kontrolliert in Nigeria und Kamerun ein riesiges „Kalifat“, dem bereits Tausende Christen und Muslime zum Opfer gefallen sind. Der amerikanische Journalist Mike Smith hat die geheimnisvolle Gruppierung mehr als drei Jahre lang in Nigeria beobachtet und lässt den Leser durch zahlreiche Augenzeugenberichte hautnah erleben, was dort vor sich geht. Er erklärt, was Boko Haram (wörtlich: „Bildung verboten“) für junge Afrikaner so attraktiv macht, wie die Gruppierung entstanden ist, welche Beziehungen zu al-Qaida bestehen und warum die größte Volkswirtschaft Afrikas dem Terror so hilflos gegenübersteht. Sein alarmierender Lagebericht ist eine Mahnung an den Westen, nicht länger die Augen vor dem expandierenden Kalifat zu verschließen.

While reading the Gospel is an inspiring experience, anyone doing so for the first time may find that there is much they do not fully understand - needing to work out the meaning of Jesus'' stories or the significance of his miracles can lead to confusion for those who are unused to the language of traditional translations or lack knowledge of the history and geography of Judea, where Jesus carried out his ministry. Specially designed for all those people who have never tackled a book of the Bible and want to know what it''s all about, the Reverend Mike Smith''s new translation of Mark''s Gospel in simple, contemporary English, accompanied by his own commentary, explains anything that may seem obscure and fills in the gaps to allow a fuller understanding of Jesus'' message.

In a series of essays Mike Smith examines the way in which adaptation of text to films can shift the focus and change the agenda of the original stories.

A true story of three young men who came from a small town are given the opportunity to open a store in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania. A Head Shop. They''ve never owned or managed a store before. Two of them work full time in a tool and die shop and the third one is a senior in high school. See how they started in 1969 working together building a thriving business that surprised even their closest friends. It was a different time many things in the world were changing and they had to change with them. Navigating through the competitive business world and at the same time managing their personal lives. Starting in their hometown of Lansdowne the story moves to Terminal Square in Upper Darby where they sub rent a loft, they named The Balcony. It was not easy, many obstacles came their way. Since they were a Head Shop, they were aware many believed they were selling drugs. Overcoming their personal problems became the hard part. Running the business came surprisingly easier. You would have thought the partying, drug use, a stolen car, a buyout, bootleg albums, marriages, the FBI, women, death, two new neighboring malls, additions, a move, a divorce, bootleg tee shirts, would have brought them down, but they didn''t. The Balcony survived nineteen years. Nineteen years is a long time when you are working. The three main characters find out owning your own business is a 24/7 job. Like many things in life, they started together with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Many fads came and went but the store was always up to date on all the new trends. The store became so popular customers would drive from New Jersey and Delaware to shop there. It was the beginning of the Woodstock nation. The music, drugs and sex were happening like never before and these three were ready to take it on. Many newsworthy events happened during the life of The Balcony. The reopening of the Tower Theater revised the music scene in Upper Darby bringing memorable acts to town. David Bowie played a whole week of shows to promote one of his albums. Bob Marley made a rare appearance and actually sent one of his crew to come in and ask if Bob could come in to shop. Bob and some of his band including his little brother and son came and spent over an hour shopping before the show started. Money was being made as the three partners started to disagree and find fault with each other. This is the story of how it happened from the very beginning to the end. It answers so many of the questions that have been asked since The Balcony closed its doors in 1988.

The first line of defense against any infection present within your body is inflammation. Inflammation is desirable in small amounts. However, it becomes troublesome when the levels of inflammation exceed the reasonable limit. Chronic inflammation is an excruciatingly painful condition that can hamper the overall quality of your life. There aren''t many things you can control in life, and the one thing you can always control is your diet. Not a lot of us pay any conscious attention to the food we eat. Juggling a hectic schedule and leading stressful lives has become quite common. It is one of the main reasons why most people opt for processed and convenience foods. Well, these foods are also the leading cause of inflammation. The food you consume has an undeniable and direct effect on your overall well-being. The modern-day diet of an average individual is full of processed carbs, sugars, and foods rich in empty calories. These factors, combined with all the stress of daily life, are the primary reason for chronic inflammation. You can learn to regulate and manage chronic inflammation by concentrating on your diet. An anti-inflammatory diet, as its name suggests, contains foods that counteract the effect of inflammation in the body. In this book, you will learn about the basics of this diet, tips to get started, and several anti-inflammatory recipes. All the recipes in this book are not just easy to cook but are quite nutritious and healthy too. So, are you ready to learn more about this diet? If yes, then let us get started immediately.
