Summary

This is the true story of Albert W. Hicks, written as a confession and autobiography. Albert W. Hicks (c. 1820 – 1860), also known as Elias W. Hicks, William Johnson, John Hicks, and Pirate Hicks, was a triple murderer, and one of the last people executed for piracy in the United States.[1] His New York based trial, conviction and execution were a major talking point at the time. Cultural historian Rich Cohen, has called him 'the first New York City legendary gangster figure, a bridge between the piracy of old and rise of a new "gangster nation".'
Hicks gave a full confession of the murders and his life story, which was published as a book on the day of his execution. Hicks' reason for his crimes were '.the devil took possession of me.'

    ★ What is AIP Diet? ★The Auto-Immune Protocol (AIP) is a diet recommended for those suffering from autoimmune diseases or pain and with a high degree of systemic inflammation, but also for those interested in deep detoxification of the organism or in doubt that some very common foods, and normally allowed in other food plans, can be a source of intolerance.★ Why AIP Diet? ★It is a therapeutic elimination and reintroduction diet that has a solid scientific basis, created for autoimmune diseases.But also a therapeutic diet to fill nutritional deficiencies, to rebalance the microbiome, to reduce intestinal inflammation and treat the leaky gut, for hormonal balance, to increase antioxidant defenses, to regain energy, to reduce systemic inflammation (and the cardiovascular consequences).The effects on weight control are there but, in my opinion, secondary and a consequence of the recovery of health and well-being. We talk about the Autoimmune Protocol when there are autoimmune disorders or diseases associated with impaired intestinal permeability (leaky gut) with an autoimmune response, such as:rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, depression, type 1 diabetes, hypothyroidism, Crohn's disease, narcolepsy, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, Hashimoto's, thyroiditis, vitiligo...★ How does it work? ★It is an elimination diet. This means that it provides for the exclusion of some food groups to observe the effects on health in the following weeks (3-6 weeks).In the first phase, foods and drugs that could be linked to intestinal inflammation or microbiota imbalances are eliminated. Especially products and foods that are known to cause allergies or unwanted reactions are evaluated.♥  So, starting from a concept of CLEAN FOOD, we have created 80 easy recipes, accessible to beginners and not, to    approach this food plan, experiment with it and immediately feel the benefits.✓Enjoy the Diet, Enjoy new life !!!

    Conscience is what prevents one from lying and also, therefore, from lying to oneself. Consequently, if a given person has no conscience, he has no conscience to prevent him from lying to himself, and he is therefore limitless able to rationalize his circumstances to himself. Whence the psychopath's apparent indifference to the consequences for himself of his own actions. It isn't that he doesn't care what happens to him: he very much cares. It is that he is willing to deceive himself about the likely consequences for himself of his actions, since he has no conscience to prevent him from engaging in deception.An Author's Republic audio production.

    From a psychologist, “practical but insightful coping strategies . . . to build self-awareness and empowerment” around self-acceptance in social situations. (Publishers Weekly) 
     
    To thine own self be true. But can you do that while still being a valued part of the wider community? Or must you always sacrifice your own inclinations and desires to fit in? For anyone who has ever felt like an outsider at work, in groups, in school, or even in your own extended family, help is on the way. Bestselling author Leonard Felder, PhD, has written the first book with advice on how to be successful personally and professionally when you think differently, live differently, create differently, or solve problems differently than those around you.  
     
    This wise and perceptive guide is neither about withdrawing into isolation and passivity, nor about spending every waking hour battling with others. Rather, it’s about choosing wisely when to speak your truth and saying it in a way that gets positive results. Dr. Felder shows exactly how creative, thoughtful, unique individuals can survive and thrive in social situations. He provides actual examples from his own practice and precise techniques that will assure your good ideas, outsider perspective, and innovative solutions are respected and taken seriously.  
     
    Both inspiring and practical, it offers soothing balm and useful answers for everyone who heard too often during adolescence or young adulthood that “you just don’t fit in”—and for the ones who love and counsel them, too. Even more important, it reveals how the very qualities that made you different can become your greatest strengths and most important gifts to the world.
