"I just saw her laying there with the blood running. … She was lying face down near her car and I just saw the blood splattered", and she said that she "didn't see exactly where he was shot from. But other people told me they saw him get shot in the head."

A nearby street vendor named Luis Senfleur said he heard the fire that killed Ortega and then saw her "fall," saying he "thought it wasn't really the shot." He recounted the incident, saying: "But when I saw her fall, I said… 'They're real.' I was the one who was supposed to call right away, but I get nervous. You know, I've never been in this situation." Speaking about the gun violence in the neighborhood, Senfleur said that "it's getting worse. Here especially."

According to a former State Department official, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is holding off on requesting and spending the funds for a number of reasons.
Senators blast Tillerson delay on spending funds to counter ISIS, Russia
Lawmakers are angry he isn't using money allocated by Congress, possibly to avoid offending Kremlin.
Two U.S. senators are demanding that Secretary of State Rex Tillerson quickly tap into $80 million in available funds to counter propaganda by Russia and terrorist groups, with one lawmaker calling his delay in using the money "indefensible."
The comments by Republican Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio and Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut came in response to a POLITICO story that detailed how Tillerson has taken no action to spend the money, which was allocated last year by Congress, possibly because of concerns that it could hurt his efforts to reduce tensions with Russia.
"This is indefensible," Murphy said in a statement Wednesday. "Every day, [the Islamic State] is spreading terrorist propaganda and Russia is implementing a sophisticated disinformation campaign to undermine the United States and our allies. I strongly urge Secretary Tillerson to take this issue seriously and use the tools and resources he has at his disposal to stand up to our adversaries."
Added Portman: "Countering foreign propaganda should be a top priority, and it is very concerning that progress on combating this problem is being delayed because the State Department isn't tapping into these resources."
Portman and Murphy were behind legislation that allocated $60 million this fiscal year to the State Department so it can counter Russian disinformation campaigns that U.S. intelligence officials believe influenced the 2016 election.
The $60 million is supposed to fund the Global Engagement Center, an interagency unit established last year and based at the State Department that specializes in countering propaganda. The $60 million is currently parked at the Pentagon, waiting on Tillerson's request for a transfer.

An additional $19.8 million is in State's coffers, but has not been given to the center, according to sources inside and outside the State Department. That chunk of money is supposed to focus on countering terrorist propaganda.
The $60 million will be unavailable if not transferred by Sept. 30, the end of this fiscal year, officials told POLITICO. The fate of the $19.8 million is unclear. Another $60 million will be available for transfer in fiscal 2018.
According to a former State Department official official, Tillerson aides have given varying reasons why he has held off on requesting and spending the funds, including his desire to avoid major decisions before implementing his plan to reshape and shrink the department.
But during the discussions, Tillerson aide R.C. Hammond also mentioned that Tillerson is trying to work through disagreements with Russia, and that the center's work could undermine that effort, the former senior State official said.
Hammond has told POLITICO that officials involved with the center have not presented a clear plan for how to spend the money, an assertion disputed by the former State Department official.
Late Wednesday, the department responded to a request for comment by noting the Global Engagement Center "continues to execute its mission" and is already funded this fiscal year with $16.3 million.
"There is a process underway to ensure any future funding or programs account for the most appropriate tactics and strategy — especially in countering propaganda from countries such as Russia that have minimal protections for free speech or the media," it said.

Cypriot President Calls on Turkey, World to Recognize Armenian Genocide
YEREVAN (Financial Mirror)–Cypriot President Demetris Christofias said Tuesday that recognition of the Armenian genocide by Turkey would have a liberating effect for the country and would show the world that the it is on a course of modernization and European integration.
Christofias added that the Republic of Cyprus will continue to support the Armenian people in their efforts to gain international recognition of the genocide.
The Cypriot president was speaking in Yerevan at the Dzidzernagapert Genocide Memorial complex, where he laid a wreath in memory of the 1.5 million Armenians annihilated by the Turkish Ottoman government in 1915-1923. He also placed two white carnations at the inextinguishable flame and observed a minute of silence, and then planted a tree at the museum of the monument in memory of the victims.
Speaking after the ceremony, Christofias said it was unacceptable that Turkey, which is aspiring to become an EU member and wishes to create a modern state, continues to refuse to recognize the Genocide.
He said Cyprus is continuing its own struggle to reunite the island, divided since the 1974 Turkish invasion, and wishes to cultivate good neighborly relations with Turkey. He added that Turkey should modernize its domestic and foreign policy in order to join the EU.
Christofias also signed the book of condolences at the memorial, in which he wrote that the condemnation of the Armenian genocide is a duty for the entire modern world to uphold.
Robert H. Ajamian - July 7, 2009 said:
Yes it has been over 94 years that the armenian genocide took place,and it is over due to show respect to the memory of the souls, and spirits of the 1.5 million armenians who perished during this genocide.Our historic land of over 4000 years has been taken along with over 1.5 million innocent people not to mention we have been uprooted from our historic land to live in the diaspora so our heritage,culture,and language would be taken from our people through integration.We must reverse the damage of the last 94 years by rebuilding what was stolen from us as I the grandson of the armenian genocide survivors am 43.9 years old, and feel that it has taken way too long for justice to be served.As armenians we must fight for the return of lands, and reparations along with interest for loss of our historic land for over 94 years.The armenians have witnessed persecution for over 900 years under the Ottoman Empire, and it is time to seek justice demanding it without conditional terms.Nothing no amount of money will make up for these 94 years of depriving us armenians out of our rights especially for 900 years of Ottoman occupation so we must demand justice now as we have waited long enough.I have spend over 20 years getting this armenian genocide resolution passed here in the U.S.A. and it is time for justice so the next generation can live vindicated from the crimes of these Turks against our people for so many centuries.
edward demian - July 8, 2009 said:
right on robert, but you are preaching to the choir. We are all Armenians and we all agree. We need to vent . So thats OK. But of no use. We need to contact those large and small churches of every denomination, and lobby them to start a grass roots crusade on behalf of the Armenian CHRISTIAN cause. Israel, was able to channel enough good will, where now you have christian organizations, running commercials for funds to relocate Russian Jews back to Israel. We think of ourselves as smart. Well, I think that we are child like next to the Machievellian moves that go on in politics.

Lahore - Poor quality standard at 13 universities has led the Higher Education Commission (HEC) to suspend admissions for their MPhil and PhD distance learning programmes, a decision that will affect nearly 4,000 students.
After physical visits and documents' review, a committee of HEC experts has concluded that the 13 universities lacked adequate faculty to run the MPhil and PhD programmes, read a circular sent to the universities by HEC Quality Assurance Division Consultant Muhammad Ismail.
The list included two institutions of Islamabad – International Islamic University and Virtual Campus of Comsats Institute of Information Technology – and two Khyber Pakhtunkhwa varsities i.e. University of Peshawar and Gomal University (Dera Ismail Khan).
Five Punjab institutions also ended up on the list, three of those from Faisalabad: Government College University, University of Agriculture and University of Faisalabad. The other two were Islamia University of Bahawalpur and Bahauddin Zakariya University of Multan.
Three Sindh universities were also affected: Sukkur IBA University, Shah Abdul Latif University (Khairpur), and University of Sindh (Jamshoro).
University of Balochistan (Quetta) was the only university that was hit by the HEC action.
"Further admissions in any of the distance education programmes being offered by [these] universities are stopped immediately till finalisation of recommendation[s] by the committee," the missive sent to the varsities further said.
"In some cases, universities have not even got [sic] approval of their own statutory bodies," it said, besides accusing some varsities of violating rules and taking advantage of "weak HEC policies about distance learning".
It said the universities had failed to integrate information and communications technology (ICT) in their coursework and a lack of transparency was evident from the marking of attendance of students.
The commission has directed the universities to shift the students already enrolled in the affected programmes to other disciplines in order to prevent any losses to their studies.
"The HEC has tightened its grip over the universities in the last few years to ensure quality and standards of education," a news outlet reported an HEC official as saying the other day.
The official said the commission has shutdown many academic programmes and universities due to a lack of required criteria, however it has to do much more to develop the higher education sector.
The HEC has over Rs90 billion annual budgetary allocation and responsibility to oversee all academic and financial affairs of over 180 public sector universities in different parts of the country.
According to the HEC Act 2002, formulation of policies, guiding principles and priorities for higher education institutions for promotion of socio-economic development of the country for evaluation, improvement and promotion of higher education, research and development was among the major functions of the commission.
However, the HEC senior management on many occasions has confessed that even today there is a huge shortage of PhD scholars in the country.
HEC Chairperson Dr Mukhtar Ahmed was reported as saying that there was a shortage of 38,000 PhDs in the country.
According to the official information provided by HEC media wing, it has been observed that since 1947 the HEC has produced a total of 14,400 PhDs.
Not only the number is dismal, giving the fact that Pakistan with a population of over 200 billion is the sixth largest country of the world.
The distribution of these 14,400 PhDs in different categories reveal many oddities, e.g. as many as 1,794 scholars come from arts and humanities whereas only 646 PhDs have been produced in agriculture and veterinary sciences – despite the fact that more than half of Pakistan's population is employed in agriculture sector.
As for the rest, 3,277 scholars have been produced in biological and medical sciences, 334 in business education, 662 engineering and technology, 3,237 in physical sciences, 3,320 in social sciences, and 130 in honorary.
Interestingly, even these figures are looked upon by some educationists with suspicion and they believe that the actual number of existing PhDs in the country is too less than the provided figures.
Interestingly, according to a report, the commission doesn't even have record of employment status of its own funded indigenous and foreign scholarships for PhD interns.

Гледіс Лола Тантаквіджун (15 червня 1899 - 1 листопада 2005) була могеґанською шаманкою, антропологинею, авторкою, членом племінної ради та індіанською старійшиною штату Коннектикут.

Молодою дівчиною її обрали старші жінки для навчання традиційній фармакології та культурі. Вона вивчала антропологію в Університеті Пенсільванії у Франка Спека. Починаючи з 1934 року понад десяти років Тантаквіджун працювала в Бюро у справах індіанців. При цьому, кілька років серед західних корінних американських племен. Разом із батьком та братом у 1931 році вона заснувала індіанський музей «Тантаквіджун» - найстаріший, що знаходився у власності та під управлінням корінних американців.

Вона опублікувала кілька книг про традиційну медицину корінних американців та зцілення рослинами. Роками вона зберігала життєві записи та листування членів племені, що стало невід'ємною частиною їх обґрунтування справи про федеральне визнання, яке могеґани отримали у 1994 році. Того року Тантаквіджун була прийнята до Жіночого залу слави штату Коннектикут.

Біографія
Гледіс Тантаквіджун була третьою із семи дітей, народжених від батьків-могеґанів, Джона та Гаррієт Філдінг Тантаквіджун. Вони жили на Могеґан-Хілл в Квіннетокеті  Ункасвілль, в Нью-Лондон, штат Коннектикут). Вона була нащадком 10-го покоління вождя могеґанів Ункаса, який був помітним у колоніальну епоху. У культурному вимірі плем'я могеґанів - алгонкінське; лінгвістично воно говорить на одній із багатьох алгонкінських мов.

У дитинстві Гледіс вивчала традиції, вірування та знання у нанусів, шанованих жінок-старших. До п'яти років племенні нануси обрали її для навчання в традиціях культури могеґанів. Однією з її наставників була традиційна мохеган Фіделія Філдінг (1827–1908). Від Фіделії Філдінг вона дізналася, як макіявісуг охороняє цілющі рослини.

Іншою її наставницею була тітка по матері, Нану Емма Філдінг Бейкер (1828-1916). У 1992 році Бейкер було посмертно обрано племенем жінкою племінної медицини могеґанів і внесена до Жіночої зали слави штату Коннектикут за її роботу в галузі освіти та збереження. Гледіс почала вчитися у своєї тітки в 1904 році, спеціалізуючись на традиційній фітотерапії, відвідуючи заняття в місцевих школах.

У 1919 році, у віці 20 років, Тантаквіджун відвідувала Пенсильванський університет для вивчення антропології. Пенсильванський антрополог Френк Спек познайомився з Гледіс ще в дитинстві, коли він працював з її нану Фіделією Філдінг. Коли Гледіс була досить доросла, Спек запросив її вчитися з ним у Пенсьльванському університеті. У своєму будинку в Суортморівіні він облаштував житло для іноземних студентів, записав її на заняття та записав на посаду помічника на місцях, щоб розширити її розуміння культур індіанців. Пізніше Тантаквіджун виконувала польові дослідження, пов'язані з ленапе та іншими східними алгонкінськими племенами. Вона розширила свої знання з традиційної фармакопеї, досліджуючи фітотерапію серед багатьох споріднених племен Східного узбережжя.

З 1934 по 1947 рік, на час прийняття Закону про реорганізацію індіанців та Індіанського нового курсу під керівництвом президента Франкліна Д. Рузвельта, Тантаквіджун розпочала співпрацю з Американським бюро індіанських справ. Її прийняли на роботу в 1934 році згідно із Законом Вілера-Говарда для управління пільгами соціальних служб для індіанців. Спочатку її розподілили до індійськох резервації Янктон Сіу в Південній Дакоті.

У 1938 році Тантаквіджун перейшла до Ради індіанських мистецтв та ремесел, щоб працювати спеціалісткою з корінних мистецтв. Працюючи в Дакотах, Монтані та Вайомінгу, вона допомагала корінним ремісникам зберігати традиційні навички та мистецтва. Крім того, вона допомагала їм створювати кооперативи та інші установи з продажу та управління своїми мистецтвами. Вона розробила способи відтворення племенами своїх культурних практик. За словами історика племен могеґанів Меліси Фосетт, працюючи у федеральній комісії з питань індіанських мистецтв та ремесел, Тантаквіджун допомагала зберігати звичаї, заборонені в ХІХ столітті, такі як Танець привидів і Танець сонця. Частиною роботи Тантаквіджун було заохочення відновлення цих та інших раніше заборонених традиційних практик.

У 1931 році Тантаквіджун працювала разом зі своїм братом Гаррі, колишнім начальником, та батьком Джоном, щоб заснувати Індіанський музей Тантаквіджун. Це найстаріший з таких музеїв, яким володіли та керували корінні американці. Після закінчення урядової служби в 1947 році Тантаквіджун повернулася на Могеґан-Хіллу, Ункасвілль. Наступні 50 років вона працювала в музеї повний робочий день до 1998 р.

Як бібліотекар в Наянтіку, жіночій в'язниці в кінці 1940-х років, Тантаквіджун допомогала жінкам з числа меншин. Протягом 1970-х та 1980-х років вона також працювала в Раді племен могеґанів, заохочуючи збереження та відродження племінних звичаїв та мови.

За своє життя вона опублікувала кілька книг про традиційну фітотерапію. Її найвідоміша праця "Дослідження практики індіанської медицини та народних вірувань в штаті Делавер" (1942) була передрукована в 1972, 1995 і 2000 роках як "Народна медицина індіанців Делаверу та суміжних алгонкійців". У 1992 році вона була обрана жінкою племінної медицини могеґанів.

Тантаквіджун зберігала численні записи та племінну кореспонденцію в коробках під ліжком. Вони виявилися критично важливими як документація для сприяння справі племені щодо федерального визнання. Плем'я довело безперервність спільноти і було визнане федерально визнаним в 1994 році як частина врегулювання, пов'язаного з їхніми претензіями на землі, що входять до сучасного заповідника Могеґан.

Доктор Гледіс Тантаквіджун була пратіткою Меліси Тантаквідджон Зобель, авторки та нинішньої могеґанки-медички.

Спадщина, нагороди та відзнаки

 Як "видатний зразок для наслідування", Університет Коннектикуту Тантаквіджун була нагороджена "Tiffany Jewel".
 Нагорода «Друг освіти» Коннектикутської освітньої асоціації
 За "послідовні зусилля в галузі соціальної справедливості" від Національної організації жіночих нагород  вона отримала премію Гаррієт Табмену 1996 році.
 Вона отримала почесні докторські ступені в Університеті Коннектикуту (ступінь доктора гуманних наук, 1987 р.) та Єльському університеті (1994 р.).
 У 1994 році її внесли до Жіночої зали слави штату Коннектикут.
 Її 100-річчя з дня народження, 15 червня 1999 р., губернатором Джоноам Г. Роулендом із Коннектикуту було оголошено урядом "Днем танцювальниці Гледіс"; і це було відзначено в Конгресі США Семом Гейденсоном.

Cuauhtemoc: Descendent of the Jaguar
D L Davies
Publisher: Xlibris Pages: 231 Price: (paperback) $21.99 ISBN: 9781462857746 Reviewed: August, 2011 Author Website: Visit »
In Cuauhtemoc: Descendant of the Jaguar, the third in D L Davies' fantasy series set in 16th century South America, readers learn more about Cuauhtemoc's supernatural side and how the teen-aged emperor of Maya got his powers.
In the first two installments, the boy learned to fly a hang glider and became a birdman/messenger. He was later adopted by the emperor and rose to emperor himself. His most important talents thus far are a perfect memory, the ability to converse with animals, a facility for human languages such that he learns them in a few days, the power to transform into a giant jaguar and incredible charisma. These make him all but invincible and enable Davies' version of history to work. It is disappointing, however, to discover that the boy emperor is the seventh son of a seventh son. This announcement comes out of the blue, as there has been no mention of Cuauhtemoc's brothers in previous books. In addition, the seventh-son myth has been used so often in fantasy literature that it has become a cliche.
While a young adult market appeared to be the target audience for the first Cuauhtemoc book, some revelations in the current novel may be a bit strong for young readers. In Davies' alternate history, many of today's cultural taboos are commonplace, including polygamy, nudity, torture, and mistreatment of women. Some may be shocked to learn that Cuauhtemoc's grandfather is also his father, though the fact that his mother has mated with her own father doesn't seem to faze any of the Mayans.
davies manages to convey what took place in previous episodes without seeming redundant, and Jaguar is much more tightly constructed than the first two stories. But it is really the minor characters that make this third book enjoyable. A displaced Spaniard, a British admiral, Cuauhtémoc's youngest adopted brother, pirates and other nefarious villains provide the excitement and swashbuckling adventure one expects from historical fantasy.
A fourth installment, Cuauhtmoec: Deception and Treason, will follow.

These are the stores with the best Black Friday discounts
JCPenney is offering some massive deals this Black Friday.
Black Friday means massive deals at retailers including Belk, JCPenney, and Kohl's.
However, some stores are offering bigger discounts than others, according to an analysis of almost 7,000 Black Friday deals.
Here are the top 10 stores that are offering the largest Black Friday deals this year.
As Black Friday grows near, shoppers need to get strategic about where to find the best deals.
The power of Black Friday has cooled in recent years. Stores are more likely to offer deals year-round, and with other major sales day — such as Amazon's Prime Day in July — the kickoff of the holiday shopping season isn't quite what it used to be.
However, that doesn't mean there are not incredible discounts to be found. Shoppers just need to know where to look for them.
WalletHub surveyed nearly 7,000 deals from Black Friday ads of 35 of the largest retailers in the United States. The website then analyzed which retailers were offering the largest average discounts.
Here are the top 10 stores to visit for the biggest possible Black Friday deals this year:
10. Shopko
Average discount: 45.2%
Shopko is letting customers in at 2 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day and keeping stores open until 10 p.m. Black Friday.
9. Fred Meyer
Fred Meyer/ MG2
The supermarket — which is open on Thanksgiving Day — will kick off Black Friday at 5 a.m.
8. Macy's
The department store will be open between the hours of 5 p.m. and 2 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day.
7. Dick's Sporting Goods
Business Insider/Jessica Tyler
Dick's Sporting Goods is opening at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day, with stores staying open until 2 a.m. Stores will then reopen at 5 a.m. on Black Friday.
6. Payless

Payless stores will offer everything for 50% off on Black Friday, with select locations opening on Thanksgiving Day.
5. New York & Company
Rick Diamond / Getty Images
While New York & Company stores will open at different times, online sales kick off at 7 a.m. Thanksgiving Day.
4. Kohl's
Kohl's will be kicking off its Black Friday sales on Thanksgiving. The department-store chain will open its doors at 5 p.m. on Thursday, November 22 and stay open all night.
3. Stage
Facebook/Stage
Stage stores operate under a number of names across the US, including Bealls, Goody's, Palais Royal, and Peebles. Black Friday sales will kick off at 1 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day and continue until 1 a.m. Stores will then reopen at 6 a.m. on Black Friday.
JCPenney is one of the first retailers kicking off Black Friday sales this year.
The retailer is opening its doors at 2 p.m on Thanksgiving Day and will stay open until 10 p.m. on Black Friday. Stores then reopen at 8 a.m. on Saturday, November 24 for its "Black Friday Extended" sale.
1. Belk
Belk kicks off Black Friday sales at 4 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. Stores will stay open until 1 a.m. on Thanksgiving and reopen at 6 a.m. on Black Friday.

This blog has suffered of late. Blame the football transfer window.
I've devoted a pile of time in and outside work to pulling together a transfer deadline day service which will provide great experience for students and great coverage for sunderlandecho.com and many other Johnston Press sites – if it all goes off as planned.
Sessions with students to brief them on Coveritlive and the brand values of JP, meetings with lecturers to sort out turning part of the Media Centre at the University of Sunderland into a live newsroom, hours on Facebook and email enthusing students and sorting out incentives to contribute – right down to the sausage sandwiches we'll take delivery of at noon… It's been hectic.
Add to that the more onerous task of selling the project to my colleagues at JP and providing them with an affiliate pack including everything from web buttons to print ads, animated skyscrapers for their site to editorial penned by my excellent intern David Allison. Thankfully my pitch has worked – with the likes of the Yorkshire Evening pst, Yorkshire Post, Lancashire Evening Post, Portsmouth News, Belfast Newsletter and many more taking our content.
As a result all eyes are on us. JP's head of digital content will be there, Sunderland Echo editor Rob Lawson is popping in… All of which ups the stakes and reinforces what a good opportunity this is for the students, I hope.
To be honest, it's all a bit nerve-wracking. The pressure is largely self-imposed as the groundwork has been done and we did a great job last year when it was just David and I sweating in a room with 2,700 user comments pinging at us. But we're on the eve of d-day now and things are pretty much out of my hands. It's now down to how many students turn up tomorrow at 7.45am for what could be an incredibly busy, and incredibly rewarding, day. And, no, I'm not just talking about the sausage sarnies.

We Knew Them Part 30
It's another Monday folks, and the series continues! Hope you had a restful weekend. Please SHARE the links to this week's episodes as much you can. I always appreciate it.
You can also continue to buy my works and recommend it to others.
Join us on Facebook if you haven't already. The conversation really is interesting over there.
Enjoy today's post.
Remi pursed her lips and sagged her shoulders. This situation was tricky, she didn't think it was safe for Lanre to go to the Oludares alone, yet, it was the only way he could see her.
"Maybe I should call Jumoke and beg her to let me come along…" She said.
"No, no, no. She said "we don't want to see any of your family members", I think that includes you."
Remi huffed. "I don't think you have much of a choice, looks like you have to do it their way. You'll be owning up to your responsibility once and for all."
"Are you nervous?" She smiled at him.
"What do you think?" he replied with an anxious smile.
"You'll be fine." Remi answered, touching his arm.
"What's he nervous about?" Gbemi came into Lanre's room typing on her phone.
"None of your business." Remi retorted and looked away.
Gbemi looked up at her sister. "Of course, you guys are always leaving me out of everything. Even when you're fighting, you're leaving me out of it. I can never understand the bond between you two!"
Lanre looked at her sadly. "Gbemi, I'm sure there're things the two of you talk about that I'm not aware of…"
"Please, don't patronize me!" she replied angrily. "I might not know what you're talking about now, but I'll find out. I always do anyway, when you've both messed things up. Nonsense!"
She hissed and walked away leaving Lanre worried.
"Please forget about her, she's just being herself. She'll come around. So, keep me in the loop, yeah?"
"Yeah, sure thing."
Something exciting is happening in Jan 2017. Watch this space!
"Do you want me to come with you?" Derick said to Jumoke as they sat staring at the lights in the garden at The BlueCow Restaurant.
"No… it would make things more complicated. I'd have to explain your presence to everyone…"
"It's all right. I understand." He replied, squeezing her hand.
"You're welcome." He replied sincerely.
Jumoke's mind drifted off to the events of twelve years ago.
"I hope I'm doing the right thing Derick… what if I regret this?"
"It'll be all right."
He slipped his hand out of hers.
"Can I hold you?"
She nodded slowly. He put his arms around her and drew her to himself, sniffing the scent of her hair in the process.
"I always love the scent of your hair."
She laughed quietly.
He stroked her arms. "You are very strong, much stronger than you can ever imagine so I know without a doubt that you'll be all right. If it makes you feel better, I'm here for you. Whatever the circumstance."
Jumoke heaved a sigh and nestled herself within his arms. "That makes me feel better. Thank you Derick."
"It's my pleasure." He replied whispering into her hair.
She looked up at him to say something just then and found her lips a few inches away from his. They stared at each other for a while before he held her face tenderly.
"You are so beautiful." He said softly.
Jumoke couldn't speak, there was a huge lump of emotion in her throat. Derick wanted to take her lips in his and show her how much he loved and desired her but he felt caution tugging at his palpitating heart.
"I love you…" he said instead in a hoarse voice.
Jumoke's emotions found their way to her eyelids and coursed down her cheeks.
"Thank you." she said earnestly.
It wasn't the response Derick had been expecting but the sincerity of her words struck him as if she had responded in like manner. He pulled her into his arms and sighed heavily.
Consider buying this historical novel today!
"When is he going to be here?" Hope said again, looking out the window.
Jumoke was tired of answering the same question, she simply shook her head and continued swiping her iPad.
"I wish Aunty Gloria had come with us."
Gloria had declined to come along with them. "It sounds more to me like a family meeting," she had said. "It would be too awkward for me, you guys will come and give me the gist."
"I know." Jumoke missed her too. Gloria would have distracted them with some interesting news about something or someone.
Mrs Oludare knocked on the door and came in.
"Grandma, he's not here yet!" Hope said anxiously.
"Your mum said he's in traffic."
"All this time?! He should be here by now!" The girl said impatiently.
"I'm sure he would soon be here. Why don't you go and keep your grandfather company? He's bored."
Hope laughed. "Grandma, I'm not a little girl anymore. You can just say "Hope dear, please excuse us.""
It was Mrs Oludare's turn to laugh. "Okay, Hope dear, please excuse us!"
"Of course!" she said and walked out of the room.
At the door she changed her mind and walked over to her mother.
"Be nice," She whispered in the latter's ears and finally left the room.
"Can I sit?" Mrs Oludare began.
Jumoke wanted to tell her to get lost but one's mother would always be one's mother. She shrugged and pointed at the bed instead and looked sternly at her.
"I just want to say a few thing before he comes here." She ran her hands down her laps and exhaled sharply.
"I have wronged you deeply, I have done things that a mother should protect her child from. I've made myself your enemy. I won't sit here and attempt to explain the reasons why… I just want to ask for your forgiveness…" Her voice choked with emotion and she took in a deep breath to steady herself.
"Too much time has passed. Please find it in your heart to forgive me. I miss you…"
"Are you telling me, that in all this time that has passed…," She replied mockingly. "It never occurred to you that you were doing wrong?"
"I was too ashamed…"
"Oh, so what suddenly makes you feel unashamed?" she asked disdainfully.
Mrs Oludare smiled awkwardly, nothing she could say would soften her daughter's mind. It was clear to her now, Jumoke would never forgive her.
Seyi is caught between two men- a rich older man and a quirky ex-boyfriend. Who will she choose? Buy this novel today, you'll love it!
Jumoke opened the door to a nervous looking Lanre.
"You're finally here." she said sarcastically.
"I'm sorry I was in…"
Jumoke held up her hand. "Don't bother, just come in and sit down."
Mr and Mrs Oludare and Korede were seated in the sitting room, all looking pensive. Hope was inside one of the rooms, instructed not to come out until she was called for.
Lanre bowed his head deferentially. "Good afternoon…"
In a flash, Mr Oludare removed his leather slipper and threw it at Lanre's head.
"O ma go o!" he yelled, accusing him of foolishness. "You impregnate my daughter and run off, and then you come in here twelve years later and you cannot greet me properly?!"
Lanre immediately threw himself on the ground and prostrated like a younger Yoruba male would to an older one. "Good afternoon sir! I'm sorry sir! Good afternoon ma! Korede…"
Jumoke didn't know whether to laugh at her father's reaction or feel sorry for the traumatized Lanre. He was still holding his head tenderly.
"I'm very sorry sir!" Lanre said remaining on the floor.
Mr Oludare adjusted himself in his seat and glared at Lanre.
"Hmm… so you can come into this house?" Mrs Oludare said and clapped her hands in amazement.
Korede was expressionless, but in his mind were warring emotions. His twitching fingers were safely holding his lips, he wanted to do so many unpretty things to Lanre's head.
"What can I do for you?" Mr Oludare asked sarcastically, his palm holding his chin.
"Sir… I'm here for… to see my… I'm here to see Hope."
Mrs Oludare laughed ironically and clapped her hands in amusement. "Ehn ehn?"
Jumoke arms were folded, she stared blankly as she remembered the pain she felt the day her father came home to tell them that the Williams had absconded. Her mind was filled with memories of the scorn she had endured and the hardships she had suffered as a student to take care of her and Hope.
Mr Oludare thought he would feel justified seeing Lanre begging to see his granddaughter but his mind was consumed with anger. Anger that made him shake his legs uncontrollably and glare at Lanre from the slits of his eyes.
"So," he managed to finally speak. "You ran away and left my daughter with a pregnancy that you're now coming to claim? Where are your parents?"
"In Lagos sir…" Lanre replied.
He was still lying prostrate. Lanre Williams was a charming, handsome man with good breeding and a lifetime of privileges, lying on the floor surrounded by a family who despised him made him feel small, insignificant, and helpless.
"They're in Lagos," Mr Oludare hissed irately. "I shouldn't have allowed you to come here without your useless parents! They should also be prostrating on the floor like you are doing now."
Lanre sighed pitifully, how could he pacify these people? He only had to say the wrong thing and they would pounce on him and beat him mercilessly.
"I'm very sorry for what I did sir. I know I can never apologize enough but please sir, let me make things right however you want me to. I'll do whatever you say I should sir… please… I just want to make things right…"
As much as he hated to admit it, Mr Oludare felt his heart thaw slightly. "How can you take away the pain my daughter went through because of you? How can you take away the shame? How can you repair the damage you caused this family? Are you going to tell all our church members that you're the father of her child? Can you change the impression that she wasn't sleeping around? There is no way you can make things right. The only reason I'm allowing you to see my granddaughter is because of her. I love her so much…!"
Mr Oludare shook his head vigorously, forcing himself not to give in to tears of pain and anger. He cleared his throat.
"I love her so much and I would do anything for her. Including allowing you to step foot in my house."
Lanre knew better than to speak at this moment.
"You have fifteen minutes and I want you out of my house."
Hope was pacing the floor, wondering what was taking so long. The door opened and her mother beckoned to her.
"Remember all I told you?" Jumoke said.
"Yes! Can I see him now?" She answered impatiently.
Her mother led her to the sitting room where Lanre was sitting. His head was bowed, he was broken. Jumoke cleared her throat and he looked up. Hope stared at him and smiled hesitantly. He was handsome, but he looked sad. Wasn't he happy to see her?
Lanre gaped at his daughter, she was beautiful and he immediately saw that she had his eyes. She was as fair as her mother, and she looked well taken care of. She wore a short frilly dark blue dress that reminded him of the first time he saw her mother. She was sucking her lips in and wringing her hands, she was nervous. He rose up.
"Hello Hope." He said, moving towards her. "How are you…?"
"Good afternoon sir…" Hope replied timidly.
Lanre's heart broke when he heard her speak, her voice was almost musical. His face became contorted with emotion as he walked towards her, and knelt in front of her.
"Can I hold your hands?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
Hope couldn't speak, she was as emotional as he was. She held out her hands and he took them.
"I am so… so… sorry." He said, then bowed his head and wept.

Lola, stop trying to mess with our hearts. I'm not ready to like Lanre yet. Maybe after the two hot slaps I asked for, I could consider tolerating his presence in Hope's life.

There were lots of causes to start a web-based retail enterprise earlier than the pandemic, and there are much more now.
People have been utilizing live video on our apps to showcase merchandise for years, from shoe shops saying new sneakers to magnificence influencers trying on different lipsticks. Soon, sellers, manufacturers and creators will be ready to tag products from their Facebook Shop or catalog earlier than going reside and those merchandise will be shown at the backside of the video so individuals can easily faucet to study more and buy. We're beginning to check this with businesses on Facebook and Instagram, and we'll roll it out more broadly within the coming months. In many cases, shoppers will find the identical sales online as they may in shops, said Nathan Burrow, the deals editor at The New York Times' Wirecutter buying site, which has analyzed retailers' plans. In some instances, Black Friday isn't even going down on the day after Thanksgiving as shops seek to spread out reductions — and prospects — more evenly forward of the holidays.
According to analysis from consulting firm McKinsey & Company,a number of online purchasing categories are projected to grow more than 35{7929bc45455c0110b4cf7b63bfbf32a07ac7e27687962dee4779a482f17c1fe3}, together with over-the-counter medicine, groceries, family supplies and personal-care products. More consumers flocked to stores on Black Friday this year in comparability with last, however online buying was lower than anticipated, according to knowledge from Friday. The COVID-19 pandemic has forever changed online buying behaviours, based on a survey of about 3,seven hundred consumers in 9 emerging and developed economies. Ecommerce thrived in 2020 due to store closures and shoppers' concern of contracting the coronavirus in public. This continued into 2021 till vaccines turned widely out there. March 2022 marks roughly two years because the coronavirus pandemic spurred many U.S. consumers to enter lockdown mode as COVID-19 spread quickly throughout the nation.
Each day, stores try to make us put more into our carts and rack up a much bigger bill at checkout. Let's look at the sales tips outlets use to convince us to open our wallets wider, so we are in a position to avoid doing just that.

On excessive streets, cheaper rents are starting to entice independent stores. The shift toward online purchasing does not imply the industrial actual property business will dry up. After the pandemic hit, sales by way of e-commerce grew by 60{7929bc45455c0110b4cf7b63bfbf32a07ac7e27687962dee4779a482f17c1fe3}, according to industry pattern information Coretti compiled from analysis firms Online Shop News Mercatus, Incisiv and Acosta. The jump was so swift, it took online grocery gross sales to a peak the trade hadn't projected it would reach until 2024. Experts from the grocery and shopper goods industries just lately met at Niagara University's Food Marketing Center of Excellence to debate how they'll digitally compete for this next era of consumers.
But the growing number of digital buyers doesn't mean grocery shops will maintain pushing their prospects to buy online. In 2020, half of all households used online purchasing – roughly two thirds of them will be using it by 2024, according to projections in Coretti's pattern information. By then, a fifth of all client packaged items might be bought through e-commerce, the developments project. Over the years, that way of doing business had not caught on as rapidly as online delivery, however it took a leap once consumers grew to become leery of spending time in public. Because of the push to online buying, there also could additionally be a change within the purchasing holidays. Copic says count on to see much more Black Friday or back-to-school deals online.
Walmart, for instance, stated it has "reinvented" Black Friday by rolling out deals on three different dates. That means friends and family, but in addition products, brands and companies. It was the people who use our apps who envisioned social commerce. Social commerce continues to be an impulse-based platform and shoppers do not essentially use the apps to seek for particular merchandise, eMarketer's Enberg stated. Though it will take time for shoppers to get accustomed to shopping by way of social platforms, she expects the market's growth to continue well into 2021 and past.
Consumers in rising economies have made the greatest shift to online shopping, the survey exhibits. In 2020, higher online costs added $4.7 billion to ecommerce sales. And in January and February of 2022, inflation added $3.eight billion additional to online sales. From March 2020 through February 2022, U.S. consumers spent $1.7 trillion online, $609 billion greater than the 2 preceding years mixed , in accordance with new data from The Adobe Digital Economy Index. Adobe bases its data on 1 trillion visits to U.S. retail sites, over 100 million SKUs, and 18 product categories. This month, Walmart is slated to start providing the HomeValet Smart Box to users of its Walmart InHome supply service, by which groceries ordered online can be delivered on to fridges in customers' houses or garages.

Roto Riteup: July 28, 2021
by Justin Mason
The force is strong with this one:
For some reason I felt this clip needed this. Thoughts @Padres? #FriarFaithful #Padres pic.twitter.com/0ETo3OCwGh
— Mike Kurland (@Mike_Kurland) July 27, 2021
Trades and Rumors!!!
COVID Issues
Various News and Notes
Streaming Pitchers
According to multiple reports, Max Scherzer would prefer to be traded to a West Coast team. Initial reports stated that Scherzer would waive his no trade clause to go to a contender, but apparently there is a caveat to that. All three of the contending teams in the NL West should be interested as well as the Mariners, Athletics, and Angels, but what remains to be seen is if they will pay the price for a rental on a 37-year-old pitcher that is currently hurt.
According to multiple reports, the Padres are looking to move Eric Hosmer in a deal to give them more financial flexibility for other moves and stay under the luxury tax threshold. Hosmer is owed almost $60 million for the next four years and there is speculation that in order for a team to take a portion of that contract on, the Padres would likely have to send a pretty good prospect as well. This all seems a bit unlikely, but who knows with A.J. Preller running the show in San Diego.
According to Jon Morosi of MLB.cam, the Mariners are interested in Trea Turner. This makes some sense considering the Mariners are likely looking to compete next year as well as the rest of this season. The question becomes whether they would move J.P. Crawford as part of the deal or move either Crawford or Turner to a different position.
The Mariners traded Kendall Graveman and Rafael Montero to the Astros for Abraham Toro and Joe Smith. The Mariners are going to be doing a bit of buying and selling over the next few days and while some were surprised at them trading Graveman, it makes a bit of sense. They are getting a Major League ready prospect in Toro for Graveman who is in the last year of his deal. Toro likely becomes the everyday third baseman for Seattle next season as they are unlikely to exercise the team option on Kyle Seager. Graveman and Montero both add nice depth for Houston's bullpen. Paul Sewald is likely the next man up as the Marner's closer.
The Mariners also traded for Tyler Anderson from the Pirates in exchange for Carter Bins and Joaquin Tejada on Tuesday. This one was a bit strange as originally Anderson was reportedly traded to Philadelphia, but the trade fell through and the Mariners jumped on it. Anderson will add some nice depth to the Mariners rotation. Bins doesn't profile as much in terms of a fantasy option, but Tejada is a nice 18-year-old lottery ticket that has some strikeout upside.
The Yankees traded Luis Cessa and Justin Wilson to the Reds for a player to be named later. This is a bit curious as many expect the Yankees to be buyers. It definitely helps the Reds as they need a lot of bullpen help.
Trea Turner left the game in the first inning while running the bases after a positive test for COVID-19 came back. This was really weird and unfortunate for Turner, but it is likely he hits the COVID IL for a bit. Luis Garcia is expected to be called up on Wednesday to take his place on the roster.
Taylor Rodgers was placed on the IL with a finger sprain. This is poor timing for Rodgers who was being shopped in trades. He could still get moved, but considering he is under team control for another season, the Twins may decide to wait until the offseason now.
Hansel Robles left Tuesday's outing with apparent heat related dizziness. Consider him day-to-day for now.
Mitch Garver left Tuesday's game with a wrist injury after being hit on the hand. Consider him day-to-day for now.
C.J. Cron left Tuesday's game with a groin injury. He is expected to undergo further testing on Wednesday. Consider him day-to-day for now.
Sam Hilliard went 3-for-3 with a home run in the victory over the Angels.

Hilliard has been a trendy sleeper for years now, but he struggled to make enough contact to get a full time role. With the Rockies being sellers, he could find himself in a more regular playing time moving forward and a real opportunity.
Streaming Pitchers (Under 50% in CBS)
Pitcher for Today: Eric Lauer at PIT.
Lauer has been really good recently and has a great matchup in Pittsburgh versus a selling Pirates team.
High Risk Options: Zach Davies vs CIN, Tanner Houck vs TOR, Wily Peralta at MIN.
Pitcher for Tomorrow: None
Tempted to use a number of these high risk options, but there's a bit too much risk for me.
High Risk Options: Drew Smyly at NYM, Alex Cobb vs OAK, Alec Mills vs CIN, Kyle Freeland at SD, Chad Kuhl vs MIL.
For those of you that would like to see how these picks play out, I have a doc I put together to track the stats from the recommended pitchers. It does not include the "High Risk Options."

Eman Ghalebová (nepřechýleně Ghaleb; * 1998, Jemen) je česká studentka, teplická Arabka a muslimka známá pro svou společenskou angažovanost ve městě, dialog mezi tamní muslimskou a většinovou komunitou a otevřenost vůči české společnosti.

Život
Eman Ghalebová pochází z Jemenu a do České republiky se přestěhovala v pěti letech v roce 2003. Žije v Teplicích s rodiči a sourozenci, její otec je uznávaný lékař. Během studií na teplickém gymnáziu, kde měla skvělé studijní výsledky, se začala společensky angažovat. Vyznává islám a veřejně nosí šátek, Českou republiku považuje za svůj domov.

Společenská angažovanost
Ghalebová je celkem aktivní na sociálních sítích, kde komentuje dění ve světě nebo muslimskou situaci v Teplicích. Angažuje se ale také mimo internet.

Uklidnění protiarabských vášní v Teplicích
V létě 2015 panovala v Teplicích velmi napjatá atmosféra. Obyvatelům města vadil nepořádek, který v Teplicích zůstával po arabských návštěvnících tamních lázní. Vadila jim také pyrotechnika, s kterou si hrály jejich děti. Navíc si situaci podle Ghalebové lidé spojovali s napjatou situací ve světě a vznikal tak strach. Ghalebová tak chtěla městu pomoct a začala v čele skupiny arabských dobrovolníků informovat lázeňské hosty o místní situaci, pravidlech, zvycích a tradicích. Rozvěšovali pro ně informační letáky a začali také po hostech uklízet nepořádek. Nakonec docílili toho, že park byl bez nepořádku a ustaly i problémy s pyrotechnikou.

Na základě této zkušenosti se Ghalebová stala v okolí populární a mediálně známou a s tím přišla i gesta podpory a obdivu od přátel i neznámých lidí. Přišla ale také gesta nenávisti a Eman dostávala nenávistné vzkazy. V prosinci 2015 se jí někdo naboural do Facebooku a začal jejím jménem rozesílat zprávu "ať chcípnou všichni nemuslimové." Na útoky se snaží reagovat klidně nebo s humorem, s jejich existencí se smířila a některým se prý ani nediví, protože se podle ní lidé bojí kvůli nepravdivým informacím z nevěrohodných zdrojů. Jako obranu pak volí nenávist.

Výzva k vyloučení ze školy
V dubnu 2016 obdržel ředitel teplického gymnázia Zdeněk Bergman asi 30 mailů s výzvou, aby vyloučil Eman Ghalebovou ze školy. Kampaň vznikla na Facebooku, kde byl ředitel požádán o ochranu českých dětí před muslimskou propagandou v souvislosti s Ghalebovou. V odpovědi na Facebooku se jí zastal a zmínil, že je to slušné a bystré děvče, kterému v roce 2015 udělil ředitelskou pochvalu za dobrovolnickou práci, jež přispěla ke klidnému soužití teplických obyvatel s arabskými návštěvníky místních lázní. Se spolužáky dívka podle něj vychází bez problémů. Podle ředitele nejvíce vadilo, že nosí šátek a společensky se angažuje.

Eman k tomu uvedla, že Česká republika je její domov, který ji hodně dal a je za to vděčná. Je vděčná i za to, že může studovat na gymnáziu v Teplicích a za to, že s ní všichni zacházejí zcela stejným způsobem, jako s ostatními studenty. Šátek pro ní není náboženským symbolem, ale její součást a kus její identity. Případný úřední zákaz jeho nošení by ale respektovala, nicméně pokud takový není, tak půjde cestou svobody, která je pro člověka tím nejdůležitějším. V Češích vidí dobro a jen menšina podle ní v sobě nosí nenávist, a to především ze strachu, který získala z médií.

Spolužáci Ghalebové pár dní nato zveřejnili na Youtube cca dvouminutové video, kde jí vyjadřují podporu a vybízejí veřejnost, aby se nebála vymezit proti xenofobii a iracionálnímu strachu. Eman jako podporu také dostávala fotografie lidí s šátky.

Otevřený dopis Islámskému státu
21. prosince 2016 zveřejnila Ghalebová na Facebooku svůj otevřený dopis Islámskému státu, jehož členy a sympatizanty označila za nositele zla a nenávisti a v reakci na dva dny starý útok v Berlíně napsala, že nejsou hrdinové a že je proklíná. Napsala, že ačkoliv se činem Islámský stát snažil vzít radost jejím křesťanským přátelům z Vánoc, ona jim popřeje veselé Vánoce, dá jim dárek a zazpívá si s nimi koledy. Napsala, že nikdy nepřestane mít ráda svoji křesťanskou kamarádku a že nezapomene na Žida, který ji s mírem a úsměvem podal ruku. Věří, že nad tímto zlem zvítězí dobro a bude mezi prvními muslimy, kdo se proti Islámskému státu spojí. Vyzvala tyto lidi, aby s útoky přestali.

Na sociálních sítích k tomu vznikla široká diskuse se stovkami diskutujících. Některým přišlo gesto dojemné a chválili ho, našli se ale i takoví, kteří ho neuvítali.

Few ingredients can lay claim to having the scientific support which creatine enjoys. With hundreds of studies conducted over a span of several decades, creatine enjoys a reputation as a wonder supplement which can both help with rapid gains in strength and muscle that can help users extend their performance levels for longer. In the real world this should mean that once you have taken creatine for 3-4 weeks you will be able to get a couple of extra reps out on sets.
We recommend supplementing with creatine daily to enjoy improved performance quickly with it being best used immediately after a workout with your post-workout shake.
Creatine has the greatest benefits for strength and power athletes, where it delivers excellent real-world benefits, but is of limited use for purely endurance sports. It is completely safe and free from banned substances.
Optimum Nutrition's Micronized Creatine uses Creapure® creatine monohydrate, the purest and most thoroughly researched form of creatine, that has also been micronised for greater solubility and potentially improved absorption.
What Role Does Creatine Play In The Body?
Creatine represents a key step in the production of energy in the human body. When you perform a maximal effort activity, for instance if you try to run a 100m sprint, your body rapidly runs out the ability to sustain your top speed. Even elite runners like Usain Bolt will slow down when running a 100m sprint because by the end of the sprint, your body has depleted its available energy reserves of creatine and the next available form of energy that it uses is less efficient leading to diminished power output.
When you supply the body with creatine monohydrate every day then your muscles can maintain maximum efforts for a little longer. In the real world this might translate to a rep or two extra when performing sets in the 6-12 rep range.
By providing the most heavily researched, trusted form of creatine, in Creapure®, this supplement will work to improve performance as well as muscle mass for just about anybody.
Use this along with my protein shake, mixes very easily and has no flavour which is a positive for me. Would recommend.
ON offer the best creatine at a very small price. If you are looking for a good creatine monohydrate, this is the best choice.
I'm a bit sceptical about supplements and tend not to jump on the latest craze bandwaggon. However I have tried this and it definitely works. I fell an edge on my energy and have a full pump after a session . Ive tried a bit of A-B testing and the results are real, so Im converted.
