MEMPHIS, TN (WMC-TV) - A Mid-South non-profit that helps small business owners thrive in struggling communities is reaching out to the next generation of entrepreneurs to Take Back Our Neighborhoods.
Vonesha Mitchell is a coordinator for alt.youth, a program developed by its non-profit, alt.consulting.
"This is a way to give at risk students a leg up," Mitchell said in a recent interview. "At a very young age, they're given this opportunity to generate some revenue of their own and start a business."
The goal is to teach at risk kids how to start their own businesses.
"They do start up costs, they do income projections, they do market research, they look at their operations they look at their staff,' Mitchell said.
The program takes kids 16to19 years old through a four step program - 130 hours of class time - that ultimately leads to developing a plan, and launching a business.
Bentrail Milow, 18, went through one of two alt.youth pilot programs that operated in Tunica Mississippi last year.
"I started my own customer car washing business," he said.
Milow took the lessons he learned about job skills, credit and debt, money management and marketing, taxes and bookkeeping, and went into business for himself.
"My first job, I was working at a bank in Tunica, Mississippi, washing repossessed cars for the bank owner," Milow said. "That went on for a couple of months until my contract expired. Now I'm just washing vehicles around the neighborhood."
While the goal is to get the teens to think about becoming entrepreneurs, Vonesha Mitchell believes the kids get so much more.
"Young people who could read better, young people who were not afraid to speak publicly, when at first they were not going to do that. That was not even up for discussion," she said. "And then their self esteem just skyrocketed, because they had a sense of accomplishment."
Milow says the program was worth all the hard work he put into it.
"It was worth more than the hours I put in," he said. "It's a life learning adventure."
And for this Memphis group of students, the adventure is about to begin.

In a guest post, Uygar Karaca reflects at length on the late Sergey Belov and his legacy in Russia and Europe.
On a recent visit to the website of Spartak St. Petersburg club, I found an interesting article with some famous names. It says that the club and players made a visit to the graveyard where legends of Russian basketball, the coach Vladimir Kondrashin and Alexander Belov lays, who died a long time ago, as a remembrance, to show respect and appreciate their contribution once again. I said to myself: I am lucky because Sergey Belov is still there, he's alive and may be, one day I will have a chance to speak with him.
Russian basketball is still in crisis. The presidency election for the basketball federation is highly controversial and there remains a lot which stays under the carpet. They made a bold decision to replace Fotis Katsikaris with Vasily Karasev just a few weeks before the Eurobasket and the team returned with a catastropical series of results from Slovenia. The Russian media asks for the reasons although there is a variety of reasons suggested; they agreed on one thing: The team lacked a leader.
Everybody knows what a leader is. Despite that, somehow, it is confused by other qualities. Scoring all the points is not what makes a leader. It is not related with the ability to make a 360 turning dunk. It is not about being the star, the popular guy, constantly encircled by media officers, photographers. You cannot be a leader all of a sudden, for instance in a couple of tournaments. The leaders are the memories of the team. When you look at them, you remember how much the team achieved or failed. You can recall how long the team has been struggling to improve. You remember the disastrous defeats or epic victories of them. Leaders are like water to drink. When they are there, you generally do not notice their real contribution. Their true value, however, is best understood when the team lacks them. The leaders are like the older brothers of the team, they suffer the most when the team loses but the important thing is the team and the goals of the team.
Sergey Belov, at the age of 70, on the 3rd of October this year, took his last breath and left us. Was he the greatest player of the Russian or even the Soviet history of basketball? It can be questioned and discussed. Of course I did not have a chance to watch him closely, only from the old vintage records, provided by various sites, downloaded to PC. Here is my conviction: Sergey Belov, is the leader of Soviet basketball during the 70s. The Soviet Union was huge, they were capable of choosing the right player from a rich player selection options from all over the country. However, while new players coming up and older ones are going out. Belov was always there. His national team story began with 1967 and lasted until 1980s. There were new assistants for him all over the way. Zharmukhamedov, Kovalenko, Paulauskas, Edeshko, Mishkin, Belostenny, Tkatchev, Eremin, Jovaisa, Chomicius. They were all great players but always waited for the ball from Belov.

I quit posting on the crossfit board a while ago because I got sick of all the cool aid drinkers on there who take personal offense to saying things like grains aren't all that is evil but this whole Anthos deal has been interesting to say the least. From the looks of it Laura Glassman seems to be out for blood and while I wouldn't care if it only hurt Greg's wallet, I would hate for this to impact my friends businesses.
6'1", 215lbs
Deadlift - 475, Front Squat - 320, Back Squat - 405
Haven't really paid attention to it. Can you give me a run down?
Fuck, fight, or hold the light.
Greg Glassmans ex wife is looking to sell her 50% stake to Anthos, a venture capital company. There is a lot of BS to sift through and it is pretty impossible to know who is being sincere but it looks like Greg and others offered her more than the $20 million Anthos is offering but she is turning them down because she wants to be vengeful (who knows what happened with their divorce).
The reason people are upset is there is worry that Anthos will want to change the affiliate agreement to make it more like a franchise and push certain supplements and other products at the different boxes. Essentially they want to squeeze more profit out of the crossfit name like a VC firm would typically do. Now granted this POV is from current crossfit staff so who knows the real deal.
6'1", 215lbs
Deadlift - 475, Front Squat - 320, Back Squat - 405
Hmmmm. I've got a lot of mixed feelings about anything associated with CFHQ, so anything I say would probably be tainted by my opinion of them.
Fuck, fight, or hold the light.
Yeah I am not a huge CFHQ fan so I wouldn't mind seeing them get knocked down a peg, I just don't want it to impact my friends that are affiliates.
6'1", 215lbs
Deadlift - 475, Front Squat - 320, Back Squat - 405
I'm having mixed feelings towards crossfit as a whole as well, I don't even like reading their forums anymore. Now that the games are over I'm less excited about all of it. This could push me out all together depending how it plays out. I saw a video of Austin malleolo teaching farris (our USA representative for weightlifting) a kipping pull up and trying to teach him about power. Idk why but it just kind of pissed me off.. Crossfit trying to teach power to an olympian...
age: 22 .... height: 5'8 .... weight: 175
My Journal
The biggest thing that pisses me off about HQ is that they constantly bitch and moan about quality and quality control, but then continue to churn out Level 1 Certifications to any dumbass with the money.
I'm not so sure it would be a bad thing for affiliates to lose their title. The good affiliates, that weren't willing to sell out, would rise to the top as strength and conditioning facilities. The rest, the majority, would fall to the wayside when they no longer have the name to hide behind.
Fuck, fight, or hold the light.
They put people through a quality class. They do their part. If the individual does not take notes and strive to learn then shame on them. That is not a reflection of the class HQ is offering.
My position is I 100% back Mr. Glassman and his crew. I have met many of them and found them to be a great bunch. I like the affiliate program as it currently exists and agree with it. I am NOT for some equity firm getting 50% ownership of CF and therefore major decision making power.
I've never said the class was bad. In fact, it likely is a very good class. What irritates me is the assertion made by HQ that the class, alone, makes someone a suitable coach and that a lack of CF Certification somehow represents a potential danger. Certified does not equal qualified, though many seem to feel this way.
Fuck, fight, or hold the light.
If the buyout occurs, IMHO, you'll see the better affiliates drop their names and stand as strength and conditioning facilities. The rest will attempt to ride out the money as long as possible before failing due to lack of quality instruction.
Fuck, fight, or hold the light.
Hey Andrew.
I don't think anyone on that board has a clue about the law or how business voting works. The 1 other attorney thinks it is a pretty funny situation.
Anthos will not be able to elect enough (maybe any) board members to make ANY change in the way that CF is run without Greg's consent. Grdg won't consent. So Anthos can suck it up and take an equal portion of profits, or it can force a dissolution. A dissolution would give it a bunch of branding worth nothing, since nobody would support Anthos CrossFit. So, bottom line is that thid is all legally meaningless.
And from Lauren Glassman's perspective, I believe she was cheated on countless times, and she just wants out. Greg apparently offered more money but over a long period, rather than cash. So a sale to someone seems pretty imminent, but still completely meaningless. Even if you prefer Greg's vision, Lauren owns half, and she should have every right to sell.

Crossfit is not perfect and people have bagged it in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Having said this I challenge anybody to name another company that has done more for people fitness, health and nutrition than Crossfit. There is factors of elitism in the Crossfit community, but most of us are not. We respect Rowers, gymnasts, runners, olympic lifters, powerlifters and anybody who is out there achieving his or her best at their chosen sport. Hell If i did not have immense respect for powerlifters then why would i have bought the Westside Book of methods, the Westside squat and deadlift manual and the Westside bench press manual, became a member of this forum and read the Westside forum daily and plan on doing Westside for 2 years to drastically improve my strength and become better at Crossfit?
We can achieve so much more as a group than alone. I mean Crossfitters love Powerlifting and we turn up to meets to learn and to compete. We turn up to Olympic lifting meets to do the same thing. We then spread the word about Crossfit, Powerlifting and Olympic lifting to more and more people who have never tried these things. How can getting more people interested in Getting stronger faster and fitter not be beneficial to all of our communities?
Greg started Crossfit and has backed every affiliate owner 100%. He stands for improving peoples lives and snubs his nose at making huge profits because this would not be in the best interest of our community. I stand behind Mr Glassman 100%. He has always had our backs and we will always have his.

What I Lack in Genetics, I Make Up For With Determination and Discipline
Well, we won't be hearing from ExCFHQ again, so no worries on that.
As for the tale he or she told, not accurate.
The bottom line to the whole thing is as follows:
Private equity firms seek a 5X return on investment. The want to realize it in a relatively short period of time. Therefore, by definition, if Anthos buys into CF things will HAVE to change. If you are a CrossFitter or affiliate owner and are happy with how things are then you MUST not want this buyout to occur. Forget all of the rest.
One aside, I don't the circumstances of their marriage, but the very fact Mrs. Glassman refuses to sell to Mr. Glassman ANY percentage of her ownership smacks of spite to me. That is unfortunate.
I know you're at the Affiliate gathering right now in Montana by Greg's invitation, maybe you'll have more insight for us from being there?

A child does not learn to squat from the top down. In other words, he does not suddenly make a conscious decision one day to squat. Actually, he is squatting one day and make the conscious decision to stand. Squatting precedes standing in the developmental sequence. This is the way a child's brain learns to use the body as the child develops movement patterns. Therefore, a child is probably crawling, rocks back into a squatting position with the back completely relaxed and the hips completely flexed, and stands when he has enough hip strength. This approach makes a lot of sense and can be applied to relearning the deep squat movement if it is lost. -Gray Cook

On Sunday, March 3rd, The Evansville Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. in partnership with the Evansville Museum will commemorate the 100th year anniversary of the Women's Suffrage March.
This historic event is designed to pay homage to the fearless young women who, despite humiliation, mockery, and threats, were determined to protest inequality and audacious enough to demand women's right to vote.
The march will be followed immediately by a short reenactment play entitled: "If Not Us, Who? If Not Now, When?" written by Evansville's own Kelley Coures.
The play focuses on the involvement of the Sorority's founders in the suffrage march and their experiences as young women pioneering to break both the gender and color barriers.
Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. is a non-profit organization whose purpose is to provide services and programs to promote human welfare.
The Evansville Alumnae Chapter was founded on April 22, 1978. Since that time, the chapter has made an impact in the community through the sorority's five-point thrust: Economic Development, Educational Development, International Awareness and Involvement, Physical and Mental Health, and Political Awareness and Involvement.
All are welcomed to participate, and women's groups and organizations are especially invited to attend and join members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. in reenacting the sorority's first official public act of service in the march that marked across the country.
Please join the Deltas at 4pm downtown at the Evansville Civic Center as they march to the Evansville Museum, where the reenactment play will be performed. Refreshments will be served.

Publish the Breviary!
While we are grateful to Baronius Press for piublishing good traditional books in loyalty to the Magesterium of the Roman Catholic Church, we would respectfully ask that they concentrate on publishing their Latin/English edition of the 1962 Breviary. We feel that as they are a small company which limited time and resources all the time they spend on producing other books merely delays the publication of the Breviary - and we would respectfully ask that the breviary be their top priority.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - It's a day no one in Louisville will forget: the day six people were shot and three lost their lives in a wave of gunfire on 32nd street. Friday, May 17 marks one year since the deadly day of violence in the Parkland neighborhood.
Louisville Metro Councilwoman Attica Scott announced on Monday that there will be a moment of silence to honor the anniversary. Scott said it's taking time, but progress is being made to end gun violence in Louisville's west end.
"While in certain places violence is glorified, not here, not in this town, not in this community," said LMPD Lt. Aubrey Gregory of LMPD. "You may see it [glorified] on television, you may hear it in music, but not here."
"We knock on doors, we talk to people, we let them know who we are, give them our contact information, give them other pieces of literature to talk about how to keep yourself safe and your neighborhood safe," Scott said. "It makes a difference. We're sharing information with people about how to build block watches and neighborhood watches."
The moment of silence will be held at noon on May 17 in the area of 32nd Street between Greenwood Avenue and Kentucky Street. At 3:30 p.m. on the 18th, three survivors of gun violence will lead a compassion walk beginning at the corner of 32nd and Broadway.
"It's making a difference," Scott said. "It's slow. It's frustrating. It's frustrating for me, but it's happening. It's taking some time, but it's happening."
Scott said holding harsh feelings against the families left behind only fuels the violence.
"We can't demonize the family whose person may have shot the gun and hurt someone," Scott said. "We can't do that to them because they're victims as well. We have to support everyone, and we hear their stories. That's how we build relationships."

If the idea of a book, a quiet corner, and a cup of coffee sound like your idea of heaven, you might think that meeting new people would be a challenge. After all, when you read you're involved in the inner workings of your mind, thinking about the characters you're reading about. But there are many ways booklovers can connect with one another. A shared love of reading will give you something in common so you can make small talk easily with people at events like these.
Author Appearance, Reading, or Book Signing
Authors frequently travel to book stores and libraries to promote their works. Many times they read from their latest book and take questions. Events like these are a great way to find out more about a favorite author, his writing process, and hear about any new books he's working on.
This is also the place to get your books signed. Some authors will only sign the current book they're promoting, while others will allow a specific number of past works. Either way, this type of event is good for meeting other booklovers. You'll have a few things in common right away, like:
- An appreciation for the author you've come to see.
- A love of reading in general.
- Geeky details of related books or facts.
If the author is a popular one, you'll probably have to wait in line to get your books signed, and that's a good thing. The more time you can hang out with the other booklovers in line, the more opportunities you'll have to make small talk. If you click with one or two people in line see if they want to meet you for coffee after the event.
You can start off small talk with someone by:
- Asking if they have read the author's other books.
- Commenting on any purchases they've made (and may have in their hands).
- Talking about other events that may be held at the bookstore.
Literature Class
Very often colleges or technical schools offer extracurricular classes in literature-related topics you can attend even if you're not looking for college credit. These class are filled with booklovers who seek a deeper understanding of books and the writing process.
Classes like this are typically a few weeks in length, which is perfect for getting to know the other students. Hang around before or after class to see if anyone gathers for some quick small talk, and see if there is someone who would like to get to know a little better. The class will give you plenty to talk about initially, and you'll be able to more quickly get into deeper subjects that are important to you both.
Volunteer at the Library or Work at a Bookstore
Very often people who love to read just like books in general. They enjoy being around books, talking with others about them, seeing the occasional author come through town, and recommending books to people.
Volunteering at your local library or even working at the bookstore can give you an opportunity to meet others. This is especially helpful if you normally have a hard time connecting with people. You won't need to go out to find folks to chat with because they'll be coming to where you are.
Online Reading Groups or Chat Rooms
Don't forget the online world when it comes to meeting other booklovers. Places like Goodreads and Amazon.com have discussion groups where people talk about books. You can also find online groups through your favorite author's website or Facebook page.
Several print magazines, like Real Simple for example, offer online book discussions. Real Simple has the No Obligation Book Club, which boasts no specific deadlines or timelines. Each month an editor chooses four books to discuss and readers vote on which they'd like to dive into. The editor and readers read the book and provide thoughts online throughout the month. If you missed that month's book selection, you can always go back to previous books that were read and comment on older discussions.
Online friendships can stay in the virtual world, or become real-life friends at some point if the opportunity presents itself. Online friends can be an important part of your life when your real-life friends aren't available.
Writing Class
Many booklovers appreciate the written word in any form, so you'll find a lot of them at classes that teach you how to improve your writing skills. Just like the literature class listed above, this is a good place to get to know other likeminded folks and bond with them before or after class.
Book Groups
A book group (or club) will connect you with others who enjoy reading a specific genre or author. These clubs can meet in people's homes, bookstores, or even community centers. Ask around your office or public library to see if they know of a group that meets in your area.
Another good place to find a book group in your area is Meetup.com. Search for the type of group you'd like (which genre, business, fun, etc.) or just pop in your zip code to view all the groups available. Joining a Meetup group is easy as each one has a page that describes the types of books they are reading, members of the group, and a calendar of upcoming events. (Here's more on how to make friends at book club.)

Food-drug interactions can happen with both prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medications, including antacids, vitamins, iron pills, herbs, supplements, and beverages.
Some nutrients can affect the way you metabolize certain drugs by binding with drug ingredients, thus reducing their absorption or speeding their elimination. For example, the acidity of fruit juice may decrease the effectiveness of antibiotics such as penicillin. Dairy products may blunt the infection-fighting effects of tetracycline. Some green leafy vegetables can cancel out the effects of warfarin, an anticoagulant medication. One kind of antidepressants called MAO inhibitors are dangerous when mixed with foods or drinks that contain tyramine (for instance, beer, red wine, chocolate, processed meat, avocados, and some cheeses). Grapefruit juice can interfere with some blood pressure medications and organ transplant medications by increasing their metabolic breakdown. Some medications are only absorbed if they are taken with a full meal or even a meal high in fat content.
Not all medications are affected by food, but many can be affected by what you eat and when you eat it. Sometimes, taking medications at the same time you eat may interfere with the way your stomach and intestines absorb medication. Other medications are recommended to be taken with food. Be sure to ask your doctor or pharmacist for specific directions on eating prior to or after taking any medication.
Ask your pharmacist or doctor if there are foods, beverages, vitamins, or supplements you should avoid with your medications.
Read the prescription label on the container. If you do not understand something, or think you need more information, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Read directions, warnings, and interaction precautions printed on all medication labels and instructions. Even over-the-counter medications can interact with foods, beverages, or supplements.
Take medication with a full glass of water unless told otherwise by your pharmacist or doctor.
Do not stir medication into your food or take capsules apart (unless directed by your pharmacist or doctor). This may change the way the drug works.
Check with your pharmacist or doctor before taking vitamin pills at the same time you take medication — vitamins and minerals can interact with some drugs.
Do not mix medication into hot drinks, because the heat from the drink may destroy the effectiveness of the drug.
Never take medication with alcoholic drinks. Alcohol can change medication absorption and may increase or decrease the effectiveness of many medications.
Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all medications you are taking, both prescription and nonprescription.
Obtain all your medications from one pharmacy and tell your pharmacist about any OTC, supplements, herbs, or vitamins that you take.
Keep all medications in their original containers so they can be easily identified.

|Religion portal
Yazdânism is a neologism (derived from Kurdish yazdān "worthy of worship") introduced by Mehrdad Izady in 1992 to denote a group of native Kurdish monotheistic religions: Yazidi, Yâresân, and Chinarism/Ishikism (Ishik Alevism).[1]
Izady claims that the Yazdâni faiths were the primary religion of the inhabitants of the Zagros Mountains, including Kurds, until their progressive Islamization in the 10th century.[citation needed] The three traditions subsumed under the term Yazdânism are primarily practiced in relatively isolated communities, from Khurasan to Anatolia and southern Iran.
Mehrdad Izady however fails to support his claims with any sources. But one of the few existing sources, that do mention the Yazdânis, is the Dabestân-e Madâheb, which was written between 1645 and 1658. According to this source, the Yazdânians who were also called Sipâsîâns, were primarily Persians as they are mentioned in the section regarding the "Parsian". The anonymous author of the source gives an account of their beliefs, which clearly proves, that Yazdânism did neither have any geographical, ethnical nor doctrinal similarities with the Alevis, Ahl-e Haqq and the Yazidis. [2] And the fact that these Yazdânians existed at the same time as the Alevis, Ahl-e Haqq and the Yazidis, makes Izady's theory impossible.
Principal beliefs[edit]
Yazdânism believes in the cyclic nature of the world with reincarnation of deity and people being a common feature, traversing incarnation of the soul of a man into human form or an animal or even a plant. There are seven cycles to the life of this universe. Six of these have already happened, while the seventh one is to yet unfold. In each cycle, there is a set of six reincarnated persons (one female, five male) who will herald the new cycle and preside over it (the seventh one in the set being the ever-lasting, the ever-present Almighty). The reincarnation of the deity could be in one of the three forms: a "reflection incarnation", a "guest incarnation", or the highest form, an "embodiment incarnation". Jesus, Ali and the three leaders of the three primary branches of Yazdânism are all embodiment incarnations, meaning Godhead actually born in a human body, not different from the Christian belief in the divine birth of Jesus as "God the Son."[3]
The principal feature of the Yazdani faiths is the belief in seven benevolent divine beings that defend the world from an equal number of malign entities. While this concept exist in its purest form in Yârsânism and Yazidism, it evolves into "seven saints"/spiritual persons, which are called "Yedi Ulu Ozan" in Chinarism (Ishik Alevism).[1] Another important feature of the religions is a doctrine of reincarnation. The belief in reincarnation has been documented among the Nusayri (Shamsi Alawites) as well.[1]
Yazdânis do not maintain any of the requisite five pillars of Islam; nor do they have mosques or frequent them. The Quran to them is as respectable as is the Bible, and yet each denomination of this religion has its own scriptures that the adherents hold in a higher esteem than any one of the former or others.[4]
Ahl-e Haqq[edit]
From the Ahl-e Haqq point of view, the universe is composed of two distinct yet interrelated worlds: the internal (batini) and the external (zahiri), each having its own order and rules. Although humans are only aware of the outer world, their lives are governed according to the rules of the inner world. Among other important pillars of their belief system are that the Divine Essence has successive manifestations in human form (mazhariyyat, derived from zahir) and the belief in transmigration of the soul (or dunaduni in Kurdish). The Ahl-e Haqq do not observe Muslim rites and rituals.[5]
The term haqq (as in Ahl-e Haqq) is often misrepresented and misinterpreted as the Arabic term for "Truth". Instead, its true meaning is clearly explained by the contemporary Avatar of the Spirit in the Ahl-e Haqq/Yâresân branch of the religion - Nur Ali Elahi (died 1975) - as being "distinct from the Arabic term and in fact, should be written as "Hâq" ("Hâq-i wâqi'") instead of "Haqq" and should be understood to be different in meaning, connotation and essence."[6]
Goran Kurds[edit]
There are also large communities of people of Ahl-e Haqq in some regions of Iranian Azerbaijan. The town of Ilkhichi (İlxıçı), which is located 87 km south west of Tabriz is almost entirely populated by Yâresânis.[citation needed] For political reasons, one of which was to create a distinct identity for these communities, they have not been called Goran Kurds since the early 20th century.[citation needed] They are called under the various names, such as Ali-Ilahis and Ahl-e Haqq. Groups with similar beliefs also exist in Iranian Kurdistan. Interestingly, both the Dersim (Zazaki / Zaza) people and the Gorani, who are both considered to belong to the Hawramani branch of the North West Iranian languages, adhere to a form of "Kurdish Alawi faith" which resembles the religions of the Druze or Yazidi.[citation needed]
Yazidis, who have much in common with the followers of Ahl-e Haqq (in western Iran[citation needed]), state that the world created by God was at first a pearl. It remained in this very small and enclosed state for some time (often a magic number such as forty or forty thousand years) before being remade in its current state. During this period the Heptad were called into existence, God made a covenant with them and entrusted the world to them. Besides Tawûsê Melek, members of the Heptad (the Seven), who were called into existence by God at the beginning of all things, include Sheikh 'Adī ibn Musāfir al-Umawī (Şêx Adî), his companion Şêx Hasan and a group known as the Four Mysteries: Shamsadin, Fakhradin, Sajadin and Naserdin.
The adherents of Chinarism/Ishikism (Ishik Alevism), Yârsânism and Yazidism are estimated to constitute about one-third of the Kurds.[citation needed] The main body of the followers of Chinarism/Ishikism, however, are the Anatolian Turkmens and Turks, while in Syria, Lebanon and Israel, they are Arabs. In Iran, the followers of the Yârsân can be as often the Azeris, Persians, and Mazandaranis as Kurds.[citation needed]
The adherents of these faiths were referred to as the Sabians of Harran (of Carrhae) in Maimonides Guide for the Perplexed.[citation needed] The Sabians are also mentioned in the Qur'an and in Bahá'í writings.
The distribution of these three beliefs follows geographic boundaries:
- The Ishik Alevis may be found in central and eastern Turkey and northwestern Syria.
- The Yârsâni or Ahl-e Haqq are located in the eastern (and northeastern) part of Iraq and in western Iran.
- The Yazidis come from the Turkish-Iraqi border region, and many of them reside in Armenia.
Mutual exchange and contacts between these branches are infrequent.[citation needed]
Izady proposes the term as denoting a belief system which "predates Islam by millennia" which is in its character "Aryan" rather than "Semitic".[7]
Many Kurds insist that they are in fact Muslim[citation needed], in spite of being classified as "Yazdanist" by Izady.[8] But Izady, of course, does not suggest that the 'Muslim' Kurds are Yazdanis, rather that Yazdani Kurds are not Muslim, and would identify themselves as such only to avoid harm and discrimination. (Izady 1992, 172, passim)
The concept of Yazdanism is thus a product of Kurdish ethnic nationalism[citation needed] rather than a religious self-designation, and the validity of the term is not recognized by other authors[citation needed]. Ziba Mir-Hosseini, evaluating Izady's work, states:
The most notable case is that of Izady (1992) who, in his eagerness to distance the Ahl-e Haqq from Islam and to give it a purely Kurdish pedigree, asserts their independence from Islam. He fails, however, to produce any evidence at all in support of his theory, and some of his assertions can only be called preposterous.
The view on non-Islamic identity of the Yazdanis is shared by Mohammad Mokri, the well-known Kurdish folklorist and historian, who states this religion to be "less Islamic than Baha'ism", which had been emerged from Bábism as "a new non-Islamic religion".[9]

Cancer charity pulls out of alcohol network over U-turn
Organisations including Cancer Research UK and the Faculty of Public Health have pulled out of the Government's alcohol network in response to its decision to scrap a minimum unit price.
The network's co-chairman Nick Sheron, the head of clinical hepatology at the University of Southampton, also withdrew from the group, which forms part of the public health responsibility deal.
They said in a joint statement: "It is perfectly clear that MUP [minimum unit price] has fallen victim to a concerted and shameful campaign of lobbying by sections of the drinks industry who are putting profits before health and public safety.
"If we are serious about reducing early deaths from harmful drinking in this country we need leadership from Government, not the drinks industry, to implement legislation where there is good evidence it will work."

Nichanian is on a roll at Hermès. The brand was made for the formal sportswear that is one of this season's banners, and she's had so much time to perfect the concept that she could probably design it in her sleep. At least that's how easily she injects a casual physicality into some of the most extravagant stuffs a designer could ever wish to have access to. That's why navy crocodile came as a cardigan in this collection, and a pullover in mink handily reversed to cashmere flannel. The same no-big-deal attitude was responsible for a barathea tux worn not with some white-tie froufrou but with a simple striped, silk turtleneck. And Nichanian offered the season's easiest take on the ascendant suit: an unstructured jacket and track pants in navy cashmere. The pants were tucked into sober black hiking boots, the designer's most significant footwear proposal for the new season, but their laces were bright yellow, and that throwaway detail somehow caught the easy flair of Nichanian's Hermès.

|It has been suggested that this article be merged into Ethnic groups in Africa. (Discuss) Proposed since February 2014.
Africans are natives or inhabitants of Africa and people of African descent.[1][2][3]
The people of Africa[edit]
The African continent is home to many different ethnic groups, with wide-ranging phenotypical traits, both indigenous and foreign to the continent.[4] Many of these populations have diverse origins, with differing cultural, linguistic, and social traits. Distinctions within Africa's geography, such as the varying climates across the continent, have also served to nurture diverse lifestyles among its various populations. The continent's inhabitants live amid deserts and jungles, as well as in modern cities across the continent.
Prehistoric populations[edit]
In paleoanthropology, the recent African origin of modern humans, frequently dubbed the Out-of-Africa theory, is the most widely accepted model describing the geographic origin and early migration of anatomically modern humans.[5] The theory is called the (Recent) Out-of-Africa model in the popular press, and academically the recent single-origin hypothesis (RSOH), Replacement Hypothesis, and Recent African Origin (RAO) model. The concept was speculative until the 1980s, when it was supported by a study of present-day mitochondrial DNA, combined with evidence based on physical anthropology of archaic specimens.
Genetic studies and fossil evidence suggest that archaic Homo sapiens evolved to anatomically modern humans in Africa, between 200,000 and 150,000 years ago,[6] that members of one branch of Homo sapiens left the continent by between 125,000 and 60,000 years ago, and that over time these humans replaced earlier human populations such as Neanderthals and Homo erectus.[7] The date of the earliest successful Out-of-Africa migration (earliest migrants with living descendants) has generally been placed at 60,000 years ago as suggested by genetics, although migration out of the continent may have taken place as early as 125,000 years ago according to Arabian archaeology finds of tools in the region.[8] A 2013 paper reported that a previously unknown lineage had been found, which pushed the estimated date for the most recent common ancestor (Y-MRCA) back to 338,000 years ago.[9]
The recent single origin of modern humans in East Africa is the predominant position held within the scientific community.[10][11][12][13][14] There are differing theories on whether there was a single exodus or several. A multiple dispersal model involves the Southern Dispersal theory,[15] which has gained support in recent years from genetic, linguistic and archaeological evidence. A growing number of researchers also suspect that "long-neglected North Africa" was the original home of the modern humans who first trekked out of the continent.[16][17][18]
The major competing hypothesis is the multiregional origin of modern humans, which envisions a wave of Homo sapiens migrating earlier from Africa and interbreeding with local Homo erectus populations in multiple regions of the globe. Most multiregionalists still view Africa as a major wellspring of human genetic diversity, but allow a much greater role for hybridization.[19][20]
Indigenous peoples and ancient settlers[edit]
Speakers of Niger-Congo languages from branches other than Bantu predominate in West Africa, with the Yoruba, Igbo, Fulani, Akan and Wolof ethnic groups among the largest. There are also Chadic-speaking West Africans in northerly areas bordering the Sahara, most predominately the Hausa. There are also small numbers of Nilo-Saharan speaking Africans such as the Kanuri, Songhai, Zarma and others in the easternmost parts of West Africa bordering Central Africa.
Bantu languages are most prominent in Central Africa and Southern Africa due to the Bantu expansion from West Africa, most significantly Kongo, Mongo, Luba, Xhosa, Zulu and Shona. However, Ubangian and Nilo-Saharan languages are also prominent in Central Africa: the Shilluk,[21] Dinka,[21] and the Nuer[21] predominate in eastern Central Africa, while the Nilo-Saharan Kanuri predominate in western Central Africa. In northern Central Africa, the Niger-Congo Ubangian Gbaya, Zande and Banda. There are also a few remaining indigenous Khoisan (San and Khoikhoi) and Pygmy peoples in Southern and Central Africa, respectively.
In Southeast Africa, Niger-Congo languages are most widely spoken, especially those from the Bantu branch like Kikuyu, Makua and Kamba. Nilo-Saharan languages, such as Luo, Kalenjin and Maasai, are also spoken in lesser numbers. Swahili, with at least 80 million speakers (as a first or second language), is an important trade language in the Great Lakes area, and has official status in Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda.
In the Horn of Africa, most populations speak Afro-Asiatic languages. Certain Ethiopian and Eritrean groups (like the Amhara and Tigray-Tigrinya people, collectively known as "Habesha") speak Semitic languages. The Oromo, Afar, Beja and Somali peoples speak Cushitic languages, but some Somali clans claim Arab descent.[22]
The population of North Africa in ancient times consisted predominantly of Berbers in the West and Egyptians in the East. The Semitic Phoenicians and Jews, the Iranian Alans, and the European Greeks, Romans and Vandals settled in North Africa as well. Berber speaking populations constitute significant communities within Morocco (including Western Sahara) and Algeria and are also still present in smaller numbers in Tunisia, Libya and Mauritania. The Tuareg and other often-nomadic peoples are the principal inhabitants of the Saharan interior of North Africa. The Nubians, who developed an ancient civilization in the Nile Valley of North Africa, are among the predominately Nilo-Saharan-speaking groups found in Sudan, in addition to the Fur, Zaghawa and Masalit, among others.
In the Kalahari Desert of Southern Africa, the distinct people known as the San have long been present. Together with the Khoikhoi, they form the Khoisan. The San are the pre-Bantu indigenous people of Southern Africa, while Pygmies are the pre-Bantu indigenous peoples of Central Africa.
The Arabs arrived from Asia in the seventh century, introducing the Arabic language a member of the Afro-Asiatic language family, and Islam to North Africa. Over several centuries, the majority of the indigenous African population of the region became Arabized by adopting the Arabic language, and developing a common identity with other peoples throughout the Arab World. Today, the majority of North Africans are Arabic-speaking, although the Berber language still predominates among Berber communities in certain areas. Sudan and Mauritania are divided between a mostly Arabized north and a Nilotic south. The Nubians of have also been partly Arabized, although their original language is still in use.
In East Africa, some areas, particularly the island of Zanzibar and the Kenyan island of Lamu, received Arab Muslim and Southwest Asian settlers and merchants throughout the Middle Ages and even in antiquity. This gave birth to the Swahili culture.
Despite having a presence in Africa since Greek and Roman times, it was not until the sixteenth century that Europeans such as the Portuguese and Dutch began to establish trading posts and forts along the coasts of western and southern Africa. Eventually, a large number of Dutch augmented by French Huguenots and Germans settled in what is today South Africa. Their descendants, the Afrikaners and the Coloureds, are the largest European-descended groups in Africa today. In the nineteenth century, a second phase of colonization brought a large number of French and British settlers to Africa. The Portuguese settled mainly in Angola, but also in Mozambique. The Italians settled in Libya, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia. The French settled in large numbers in Algeria where they became known collectively as pieds-noirs, and on a smaller scale in other areas of North and West Africa as well as in Madagascar. The British settled chiefly in South Africa as well as the colony of Rhodesia, and in the highlands of what is now Kenya. Germans settled in what is now Tanzania and Namibia, and there is still a population of German-speaking white Namibians. Smaller numbers of European soldiers, businessmen, and officials also established themselves in administrative centers such as Nairobi and Dakar. Decolonization from the 1960s onwards often resulted in the mass emigration of European-descended settlers out of Africa — especially from Algeria, Angola, Kenya and Rhodesia. However, in South Africa and Namibia, the white minority remained politically dominant after independence from Europe, and a significant population of Europeans remained in these two countries even after democracy was finally instituted at the end of the Cold War. South Africa has also become the preferred destination of white Anglo-Zimbabweans, and of migrants from all over southern Africa.
European colonisation also brought sizable groups of Asians, particularly people from the Indian subcontinent, to British colonies. Large Indian communities are found in South Africa, and smaller ones are present in Kenya, Tanzania, and some other countries in the African Great Lakes region and Southern Africa. The large Indian community in Uganda was expelled by the dictator Idi Amin in 1972, though many have since returned. The islands in the Indian Ocean are also populated primarily by people of South Asian origin, often mixed with Africans and Europeans.[23]
The Malagasy of Madagascar are an Austronesian people, but those along the coast are generally mixed with Bantu, Arab, Indian and European populations. Malay and Indian ancestries are also important components in the group of people known in South Africa as Cape Coloureds (people with origins in two or more races and continents). In Mauritius, a tiny island in the Indian Ocean that is included in the African continent, Indian people form a majority.
During the past century or so, small but economically important colonies of Lebanese[24] and Chinese[25] have also developed in the larger coastal cities of West and Southeast Africa, respectively.[26]
Decolonization has left some nations in power and marginalized others.
Conflicts with ethnic aspects taking place in Africa since decolonization include:
- Zanzibar Revolution (1964)

Democratic U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan and Republican U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers agreed on at least one thing Monday that the roll out of the Affordable Care Act has been a mess.
Ellmers, a frequent critic of the law, said Hagan shares blame for the problems, while Hagan again pointed the finger at insurance companies for selling policies but not telling their customers that the policies could be canceled when the new law took effect. Republicans have claimed Hagan was dishonest with North Carolinians about whether they could keep existing plans under the new law.
Hagan and Ellmers attended a meeting of the U.S. Global Leadership Coalition at the Marriott City Center in downtown Raleigh and made themselves available to the media. Pressed by reporters, Hagan again wouldnt say when she knew that existing insurance policies could be canceled or whether she knew before or after her vote for the Affordable Care Act. She was a member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, one of two Senate committees that drafted versions of the health care law in 2009.
Hagan said she was frustrated with the roll out and the fact that the HealthCare.gov website isn't working properly. She said people should be able to keep their existing plans and has signed onto legislation that would allow that. The first-term senator up for re-election in 2014 also said she believed her Republican opponents want to go back to a time when insurance companies could deny insurance to those with pre-existing conditions. People do not want to go back to that period, she said.
Ellmers, who reprsents the 2nd District, said she believes Hagan is trying to fix the problems, but added: I don't know how much her voice is being heard. Before it was approved, Ellmers said, some of Hagans constituents asked her not to support the law. And she made a decision, Ellmers said. "You know, consequences have to come with those decisions."
Meanwhile, Hagan said she felt confident about her re-election bid and that she has a great team together and a great strategy. On the heels of a recent visit to Chapel Hill from Vice President Joe Biden, Hagan indicated that President Barack Obama also would campaign on her behalf. We certainly look forward to other individuals coming into North Carolina, including the president, she said.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/22/2014We enjoyed a 3-course dinner at Acitron Cocina Mexicana on the dinner and a show program with the Regent Theater. The restaurant was quite flexible in what we could order; we were not limited to a smaller menu. The food and service were all very good. Some of the available items were different than we've seen in other Mexican restaurants. Food was very fresh and tasty.Special Features:

- Not your average MexicanPuppygrammyDined on 8/5/2014We've eaten at Acitron before, and was greatly surprised by the quality of their food. It's not the usual Mexican fare!! Have recommended it to friends. Will go back more often.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious!CynnyDined on 8/1/2014Acitron continues to delight. The food is consistently delicious and the staff is wonderful. We are so lucky to have this wonderful restaurant in Arlington center.Special Features:
- DisappointedBirthdaypalDined on 8/1/2014First time I went, it was fantastic. This time it seemed that everyone had run out of speed. There was no passion in the food. Everything was blah.Special Features:
- Tasty, atypical MexicanhungrylucindaDined on 7/24/2014Acitron features very tasty regional Mexican dishes in unusual preparations, such as a delicious large crepe stuffed with corn and peppers and smothered with a spinach sauce so good we asked to buy some to take home. The waitstaff are friendly, helpful, and competent, and the dining experience is delightful.Special Features:
- Sophisticated. Not Tex-MexSoupFairy299Dined on 7/19/2014Upscale, sophisticated yet with a relaxed atmosphere. Food we delicious - especially the shrimp with mole sauce. The chips (thin andnot greasy) and salsa (fresh and spicy) set the tone and the service was great.Special Features:
- Always fantastic'BbvisVIPDined on 7/19/2014Acitron never disappoints! Food and service terrific! Will keep coming back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always goodGraceVIPDined on 7/18/2014We've been to Acitron 4 or 5 times and have always enjoyed it. The people are warm and friendly, the margaritas are excellent (each of us had a different kind and tasted each other's), and the food is delicious. Love the fish tacos! One of the sides was a very tasty grilled corn on the cob -- wonderful addition to the menu. Definitely recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best SangriaTriksiVIPDined on 7/12/2014Acitron's is my favorite sangria, perfectly balanced. Food was terric, too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Viva MexicoCarlislecatDined on 7/10/2014Fun and interesting menu: portions big enough for two people and great sangria to boot. The ceviche was excelent the appetizer tacos were really delicious and the crepes stuffed with poblano pepper strips and covered in green pipian mole were a ReAl treat. I'll be back for more. Added plus was our server, a Salma Hayek lookalike and sweet as she was knowledgeableSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- mexican fanspicyfanDined on 7/6/2014Food was VERY good! Only negative was that water was warm.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- How did. we miss this for so long?OpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 7/4/2014This place was simply incredible. The margaritas are a showcase for sure. However, the food is what had us. My wife and I had a bit of everything. The corn on the cob is not the corn on the cob you know, this one's all spiced up and with cheese. A trio of sopes with different toppings was perfect for people who can't make up their mind AND who love powerful flavors contrasted. The guacamole was nothing out of the ordinary, but was just great. Some kind of steak rubbed with adobo. It was all simply amazing, and what was surprising was how reasonably priced it was!Special Features:
- MargaritasOkieDined on 7/4/2014Hi, the food is always great as is the service We r big margarita ppl and it seems no one gets them right Masa does not either Simple is better. The best real one so far has been the painted burrow in Davis sq Not all juice. So many look like oj is added At home it's just simple syrupy, fresh lime and tequila , a little work but worth itSpecial Features:
- InconsistencynelmVIPDined on 6/25/2014This visit to Acitron was our second time dining there. The food was excellent on our first visit but this time we were extremely disappointed. The mole sauce lacked flavor, the chicken did not taste right, and the rice seemed dry, not fresh. We both felt that the food was lackluster.
- rosieDined on 6/21/2014Tasty food, attractive presentation, reasonable prices, lively atmosphere - a fun place to eat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not your usual Mexican fareJeffBDined on 6/20/2014I've been here a few times now, and I've always been satisfied. This time, I had the fish of the day with a cilantro/onion/garlic salsa which was tasty. My wife had the shrimp in a tamarind sauce, also terrific.Special Features:
- The best Mexican foodYury1080Dined on 6/18/2014It is low key neighborhood gem with outstanding food. Everything is in balance: spices, flavors, portion's size. On the top of that the service is very quick and efficient.Special Features:
- BaileyVIPDined on 6/14/2014Second time I've eaten here and it was fabulous! Will come again and will recommend it to friends.Special Features:
- Somewhat disappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/13/2014Thought we'd be a bit adventurous and try something new: fried avocado appetizer. Batter not tasty and not something I'd order again. Sopas were pretty good, tho. Entrees: chile verde ala Baabs was very moist, well seasoned and good, whereas cochinita pibil was extremely dry...almost like a mound of pork cardboard....very disappointing. Sangria was ok...partner would've liked added splash of liquor or fruit juice to soften rough taste of red wine.
- Mexican- a cut abovebostongirlDined on 6/13/2014Acitron has many dishes not found on the menu of your 'average' Mexican restaurant. Food was well prepared. Service ok. Priced well for a neighborhood restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food but no air conditioningOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 6/7/2014The food was delicious, but there was no air conditioning on a hot evening. Skip this place until the cooler months.
- Great ServiceGeraDined on 6/7/2014Food was good. I will definetly go back. Drinks were very good. But the service was great. It was a busy Saturday night and our server ( I wish I could remember his name) took care of our hungry and thirsty party very efecientnly. Thank you from the 6 wearing peach!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- hidden gemnotafoodieDined on 6/7/2014Amidst all the many restaurants in down town Arlington, Acitron Cocina is a stand out. The food is always good, and the menu interesting. I had salmon and it was cooked to perfection with a very nice sauce, not too saucy, just right. My friend had the shrimp with cilantro sauce, which was a real treat. The margaritas hit the spot. The service was fine, especially considering it was quite busy for early on a Saturday night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- High hopes--but not fulfilledLloydVIPDined on 6/4/2014We had high hopes for Acitron--great write ups and an interesting menu. So few really good and authentic Mexican restaurants left. Soem items were very good. We loved the roasted corn on the cob and the excellent quesadillas. But the salsa, though fresh, was a little tame, and the freshly made guacamole, though we asked for it spicy, was also bland. As main coursesd we had the steak fajitas (good), the chicken mole (shredded chicken in a passable mole poblano sauce but nowehre near as tasty as the old Forest Cafe's, and a very disappointing enchiladas verde--way too sweet. We were looking forward to a greart experience, but we probably won't go back.
- Delightful restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/4/2014The food was beautifully plated and very delicious.Special Features:
- Another great dinnerYRUL84TVIPDined on 6/3/2014Took two friends from Chicago here who raved about their dishes. The service from hostess to server is cheerful and efficient. Do not recommend having hostess describe fajitas "in case our server does not" in great detail (we all know what fajitas are by now), only to have the server arrive a moment later and have to politely listen while he re-describes what fajitas are all over again. So no more doing that and you'll be A-OK!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistenly Good Food and ServiceDreamplangoVIPDined on 6/1/2014We always have a great meal here. The service is friendly and knowledgable and the food is always fresh with just the right amount of spice. The grilled corn is great as an appetizer or a side dish. We have been to Acitron several times and we will definitely return.Special Features:
- Authentic and varied.JoeDinerDined on 5/30/2014Great selection of taco fillings, and real Mexican, not Tex-Mex dishes.Special Features:
- nelmVIPDined on 5/23/2014The food was terrific and the service was as well. Our waitress was able to answer our questions about several menu items and make suggestions to guide us in our choice. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and responsive when needed. We never felt rushed and appreciate this fact. Acitron will be at the top of our list for great mexican fare.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1st Time - Won't Be The LastTrySomethingNewDined on 5/17/2014Our party waited a bit longer than ideal to be seated for a 7:30 reservation - a previous large party lingered. We found out why. Our server was friendly & informative. Our margaritas & sangria were great. Salsa, guacamole & home-made chips were savored by all. Question of whether the "Chile Verde A La Baabs" would be too hot, or cilantro-heavy, brought a generous sample of the dish from our server. (it was "just right"). Mole Poblano, (chicken in traditional chocolate-infused mole sauce), Camarones Con Salsa Cilantro, & Carne Adobada were enjoyed by all (much delighted sampling from others' plates). For dessert, "Flan Del Dia", (flan of the day), and "Tamal De Chocolate", provoked much "Mmm" & "Oooh" reaction. We certainly plan to return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Delicious real Mexican foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/8/2014Food was not Tex-Mex, but had many touches from Puebla and elsewhere. There were six of us, we had several appetizers which we shared, ceviche was unexpectedly good, veggie enchiladas were exceptional, guacamole, salsa, etc. all excellent. Two of the six main dishes were a bit too heavy (Pulled Pork Pibil) and (Veggie Crepas), so take out bags were needed. Veggie stuffed peppers were extra good, as was corn on the cob.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Upscale mexicanOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/7/2014Food is the highlight here. Everyone loved their meal especially the corn-on-cob side dish also avaialbe as an app that begins with an E? Tostada app was hearty enough to be a meal. Tres leche cake was interesting butni wish the frosting was whipped cream not the sugary vanilla butter cream but just a personal choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
