Leicester City Football Club, whose entire squad cost less than a single player at some of its better-known rivals, have won the English Premier League. Leicester were 5000-1 outsiders to win at the start of the season, meaning bookmakers considered it more likely that Elvis Presley would be found alive. (= impossible)

A handy linq ForEach on List collection

To access each element in the list; for example, to print each element to the console we can just use one single line of code to do it by using Linq ForEach on List collection:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;

namespace TestListContainsInEmptyList
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            List<int> list = new List<int>();

            for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
                list.Add(i);

            list.ForEach(x => Console.WriteLine(x));
            Console.ReadLine();
         
        }
    }
}

Gunmen kidnap eight foreigners in Nigeria

Gunmen kidnap eight foreigners in Nigeria

Armed attackers kidnapped eight foreign workers in northern Nigeria on Sunday. The abductees were taken from the residential compound of a Lebanese construction company. A security guard was killed as he tried to prevent the assailants from entering the camp. The kidnapped workers are believed to be from Britain, Greece, Italy and Lebanon. A woman and her daughter are among them. A local government official, Adamu Aliyu said the attack occurred at 2:15am. The gunmen also attacked a police station and a prison on their way to the compound. A police chief said: “WE repelled the attack… but they burnt two vehicles.”

This attack is the worst ever case of foreigners being kidnapped in the north of Nigeria. Kidnappings for ransom occasionally occur in the south, especially in the areas that support the country’s oil industry. Violence in the north has largely been of the nature of attacking churches and police stations, and kidnapping locals. No one has yet taken responsibility for yesterday’s raid, but security experts believe one of northern Nigeria’s Islamist groups is behind it. The Al Qaeda splinter group Ansaru has been active in recent months. The larger group Boko Hara, which means ‘Western education is forbidden,’ has been the most active in the area. It is reportedly responsible for hundreds of deaths, and church bombings.
