ECHOES

Its really been a very long time and I have missed writing to you my readers so much, even at some point I thought I may never be able to make a post for a very long time for it has actually been tough and rough from the unset of 2018, lost of value, disagreements, misunderstandings, arguments, and lots more of odd cases that took strength and tears from me, at some point I asked myself lots of odd questions and wanted to give up on a lot of things and people but all of a sudden, my strength was renewed, I felt relieved and free from all of the odd happenings around me, why? What brought that sudden strength and hope, I asked myself, was it my lust for this life or my love for it. Lust and love usually seems similar but are very different in their own separate ways. One is an obsession, like an hungry lion, prepared to devour anything on its way, while the other is sacrificial, hope, freewill, embracing, believing, trust, meek, gentle, passionate, and forgiving. I found one and un...

A Utah teen, who lured his 12-year-old neighbor from home by claiming he needed her help to find his lost cat, has pleaded guilty to the girl's 2015 rape and murder, according to multiple news sources. Jayden Sterzer, now 18 – who sexually assaulted and then strangled Kailey Vijil with his tank top – is likely to remain in juvenile detention for another three years until he turns 21, then faces a possible adult prison term of 15 years to life, reports the  The Salt Lake Tribune ,  the local TV station  Fox13 Salt Lake City  and  Good4Utah.com . Sterzer was 15 at the time the crimes were committed but his legal team claims he has the intellectual capacity of a toddler. On Monday he accepted blame by pleading guilty in juvenile court to rape of a child, followed by guilty pleas in adult court to first-degree murder and second-degree sexual abuse of a child. He will be formally sentenced Jan. 19 on the juvenile court plea, then return at a later date to f...

Another KarJenner sister is facing criticism over their beauty line. Kim Kardashian West 's casting call for her beauty line KKW caught the attention of  James Charles  on Tuesday — he was named the  first male CoverGirl in 2016  — for solely asking women to try out for the modeling opportunity. Charles, 18, tweeted at Kardashian West, writing, "Sister  @ KimKardashian ! There are thousands of boys in cosmetics who love you & I’m sure would be honored to slay a photo shoot for you! This is disappointing," while also adding a frown emoji. Charles was also one of the few bloggers chosen to be by Kardashian's side when she first released the product earlier this year. The beauty star shared the casting notice on Twitter, which read, "Calling all faces! We are excited to announce an open model casting call in the LA area for several upcoming KKW beauty campaigns." "Kim is a legend and personally one of my role models!" he tweeted. "I...

US pharmacy chain CVS has agreed to buy health insurer Aetna in what could be the largest acquisition this year. The deal worth around $69bn (£51.1bn) requires approval by regulators and shareholders. The proposed tie-up comes amid speculation that online shopping giant Amazon plans to move into the pharmaceutical market. If it goes ahead, CVS said the acquisition has the potential to reshape America's healthcare industry. "This combination brings together the expertise of two great companies to remake the consumer health care experience," said CVS chief executive Larry Merlo. CVS has agreed to pay Aetna shareholders $207 per share, including $145 in cash and the rest in newly issued stock. The agreement also covers Aetna's debt, bringing the total acquisition to $77bn.

Migrants and refugees being sold into slavery in Libya is not really new information. In April 2017, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported that along the North African migrant routes its staff discovered "slave markets" where hundreds of African young men are being tormented. But following CNN's release of footage showing men being sold by an auctioneer for the equivalent of $800, there was finally international outrage. There were demonstrations in Paris, Stockholm and New York with slogans such as "Free our brothers!" and "Black people are not slaves!" The chairman of the African Union , Guinean President Alpha Conde, demanded prosecutions for these crimes and Libya announced it was reportedly launching an investigation into the matter. But while the outrage has focused on the Libyan authorities, it has very much ignored the role the European Union has played in enabling such despicable abuse. The EU has pushed to curb migration...
