President Trump fired Acting Attorney General Sally Yates Monday night, after Yates ordered Justice Department lawyers Monday not to defend his immigration order temporarily banning entry into the United States for citizens of seven Muslim - majority countries and refugees from around the world. In a press release, the White House said Yates had “betrayed the Department of Justice by refusing to enforce a legal order designed to protect the citizens of the United States.” The White House has named Dana Boente , U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, as acting attorney general. Boente told The Washington Post that he will agree to enforce the immigration order.

 (Sebetu Fejo : ENA ) Ethiopia, one of the two African countries which have never been colonized, owns a proud history of African heritage and considered as the origin of mankind. As Ethiopia is a country endowed with both tangible and intangible heritages including tantalizing landscapes with immense potentials for investment, this is a good opportunity since t will give the participants to visit cultural, historic and natural heritages of Ethiopia. Two of Ethiopia’s intangible heritages, the commemoration of the finding of the True Cross, Meskel festival, and Fiche Chamballala, New Year of the Sidama people, have so far inscribed on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. In addition, Ethiopia has already submitted the study findings of three intangible cultural heritages to UNESCO for registration, including the Gada system ,   Timket (Ethiopian Epiphany)  and  Shadey/Ashenda , a traditional celebration....

Let each man learn to know himself; To gain that knowledge let him labor To improve those failings in himself Which he condemns so in his neighbor. How lenient our own faults we view, And conscience's voice adeptly smother; Yet, oh, how harshly we review The selfsame failings in another! And if you meet an erring one Whose deeds are blamable and thoughtless, Consider, ere you cast the stone, If you yourself are pure and faultless. Oh, list to that small voice within, Whose whisperings oft make men confounded, And trumpet not another's sin; You'd blush deep if your own were sounded. And in self-judgment if you find Your deeds to others are superior, To you has Providence been kind, As you should be to those inferior. Example sheds a genial ray ~  Unknown

I wish I'd had the courage to go up to her and say: The time will come too quickly when those little arms that tug, Won't ask for you to hold them or won't freely give a hug. The day will sneak up subtly just as it did with me, When you can't recall the last time that your child sat on your knee. Like those sacred, pre-dawn feedings when we cherished time alone... Our babies grow and leave behind those special times we've known. So when your child comes to you with a book that you can share, Or asks that you would tuck him in and help him say his prayer... When he comes to sit and chat or would like to take a walk, B...
