SportsBreaking News: Ronaldo Banned by stonemind(op): 4:15pm On Jan 23, 2016
PEREZ BANS RONALDO MOROCCO TRIPS
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has banned Cristiano Ronaldo from taking regular trips to Morocco.

According to El Espanol, the Portugal captain flies to visit a friend in Marrakech after each weekday training session, returning each night to be back for training the following morning.

But Perez wants Ronaldo's travels to come to an end, reportedly banning the Real Madrid star from the country of Morocco and relying on his friendship with Mohamed VI, the King of the country, to help him enforce the ban.

The reason for the Real Madrid president cracking the whip on the Blancos star is unhappiness with recent performances at the Santiago Bernabeu, where Ronaldo has not lived up to his usual form so far this season.

PoliticsI Am Black But Discovered I Have Jewish DNA. Where Is It From? by stonemind(op): 11:44am On Jan 23, 2016
I’m African American, but about a year ago I received the results of genetic testing, which indicated that I’m 5 percent Ashkenazi Jew. My European genetic makeup is around 15 percent.

Family lore (which, of course, can be notoriously unreliable) shared stories about possible Native American ancestry, but Native American ancestry wasn’t part of my genetic makeup. I was, however, rather blown away to find that I was, in small part, Ashkenazi Jew. No one in my family, on either side, is able to account for it.

On my mother’s side, I’ve discovered a story of a European ancestor who was married to who I believe was my great-great-great-grandmother, Hannah Simmons. Hannah was born around 1820. The name of her husband (the rumored ancestor of European descent) was Jack or John, I believe. I’m unsure. Some folks in the family suggest that she married twice (remarrying after her first white husband died).

Via Mocavo, I found a record of Hannah in the 1900 census; she was listed as the mother of a head of household, Jake Green. Although the family lore is that Hannah’s husband was European, I don’t quite buy this story. One of Hannah’s sons, Ransom, never mentioned having a white or mulatto father. We have a picture of Ransom, and to simply eyeball him, he doesn’t look phenotypically European-African biracial. He’s quite dark.

My questions: Is it possible that the Jewish ancestry comes from a husband of Hannah’s? If so, what was his name and where was he from? Finally, how can I find out more about her, such as which plantation she lived on in South Carolina and who her parents were? —Schlese

What Do Your Ashkenazi Results Mean?

First, to your question about where your Jewish ancestry comes from: We consulted genetic genealogist CeCe Moore about it. She told us in an email that indeed, if Hannah’s husband was white, he could have been the ancestor who contributed the Ashkenazi DNA to your genetic makeup. “If this man were indeed your third great-grandfather, then you would expect to inherit about 3 percent of your total autosomal DNA from him. Since autosomal-DNA inheritance is random, it is theoretically possible that you inherited as much as 5 percent of your DNA from him. It is also possible that her husband could have been biracial and each of his parents contributed some of that Ashkenazi Jewish DNA or that Hannah Simmons herself had some European Jewish ancestry.”

Since you have the Ashkenazi DNA present in your results, there is no doubt that some of your ancestors were descended from a small isolated population who are genetically similar to one another. You can read more about the genetic closeness of individuals with Ashkenazi autosomal DNA in this article by Moore: “Ashkenazi Jewish DNA and the Potential to Piece Together Shattered Family Branches.” This could help you understand how to work with the matches you have to distant cousins through your DNA results to shed light on your Jewish roots.

Since we know the possibilities, the question then becomes: Can we confirm your family by identifying Hannah Simmons’ husband of European descent? Unfortunately, we were not able to locate the husband you describe, but we did find some clues that can help you trace the family backward.

Looking at the Simmons Family in Mississippi

You have been able to locate Hannah Simmons in the 1900 U.S. census, which shows her residing in Jasper County, Miss. According to the census, Hannah was born about 1820 in South Carolina. We noted that her relation to the head of the household, Jake Green, was “mother,” although Jake’s parents were both born in Mississippi, as were his wives. Keep in mind, when you’re reading census records, that relationships may not be entirely specific, and “mother” could mean that she was Jake Green’s mother or his mother-in-law. Based on the ages of the individuals, Hannah was actually likely Jake’s grandmother, since she would have been 53 years old when Jake was born.

Farrah Abraham memorably crooned that she’s “blowin all these bullies away” — and now the “Teen Mom OG” cast member can add Nicki Minaj to that list.

The rapper, who was watching the long-running MTV series over the weekend, took to Twitter to voice her opinions about Sophia’s mother. Warning: The messages are pretty NSFW, and the two don’t exactly mince words…

“Farrah is a c**t to her mother,” the musician wrote.

SportsRonaldo Statue Vandalised by stonemind(op): 9:51am On Jan 13, 2016
RONALDO STATUE VANDALISED WITH 'MESSI 10' GRAFFITI
The statue of the Real Madrid star in Madeira was desecrated as unknown assailants wrote "Messi" and drew a number 10 on his back after the Argentine beat him to the Ballon d'Or
As if losing out to Lionel Messi in the race for the Ballon d'Or on Monday was not enough for Cristiano Ronaldo, the Real Madrid attacker was given another reminder of the Argentine star's dominance over him in the wake of the award ceremony.

While Ronaldo hoped to draw level with his Barcelona counterpart and pick up the award for the fourth time in his career, he was left disappointed to see Messi swoop in and collect it for the fifth time.

To make matters worse, the star saw the statue which stands in his hometown of Madeira painted over with some unwelcome graffiti.

Business10 Things Successful People Do Right Before Bed by stonemind(op): 3:46pm On Jan 12, 2016
The very last thing you do before bed tends to have a significant impact on your mood and energy level the next day, as it often determines how well and how much you sleep.

Successful people understand that their success starts and ends with their mental and physical health, which is almost entirely dependent upon their getting enough sleep.

That is why bedtime routines are a key ritual for so many of them—and why the very last thing most successful people do before bed is read.

1. They read.

Experts agree that reading is the very last thing most successful people do before going to sleep.

2. They make a to-do list.

“Clearing the mind for a good night sleep is critical for a lot of successful people,” Kerr says. “Often they will take this time to write down a list of any unattended items to address the following day, so these thoughts don’t end up invading their head space during the night.”

3. They spend time with family.

Michael Woodward, Ph.D., organizational psychologist and author of The YOU Plan, says it’s important to make some time to chat with your partner, talk to your kids, or play with your dog.

4. They reflect on the day.

Kerr says many successful people take the time just before bed to reflect on, or to write down, three things they’re appreciative of that happened that day. “

5. They meditate.

Many successful people use the 10 minutes before bed to meditate. Dale Kurow, a New York-based executive coach, says it’s a great way to relax your body and quiet your mind.

6. They plan out sleep.

“Much has been written around the dangers busy people face running chronic sleep deficits, so one habit I know several highly successful people do is to simply make it a priority to get enough sleep—which can be a challenge for workaholics or entrepreneurs,” Kerr says. One way to do that is to go to bed at a consistent time each evening, which is a key habit all sleep experts recommend to help ensure a healthy night’s sleep.

PoliticsEFCC To Quiz PDP Spokesperson Metuh Over N1.4b Traced To His Firm’s Account From by stonemind(op): 9:59am On Jan 05, 2016
Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)
detectives probing the $2.1 billion arms contracts have
traced N1.4billion to the account of a company allegedly
linked with Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) spokesman
Olisa Metuh.
There were indications yesterday that the account of the
company, Destra Investment Limited, may be frozen
when the ongoing probe gets to a “convenient bend”.
The anti-graft commission has placed the activities of the
company and its bank transactions under surveillance.
The Department of State Service (DSS) has also invited
Metuh for interaction on some issues.
The DSS’ invitation has, however, attracted protests
from some PDP leaders.
