Are any of your OCs good at cooking?
most of the wild dogs can cook, since the responsibility rotates, but Oko in particular is a fantastic cook! this is in part because he is a total foodie and absolutely loves to try new fine dining. barbecue is his specialty! he doesnt do it often because he’s usually busy with running a small nomadic sovereign state, but when he’s staying with Cecilia and her family he shows his appreciation for his inlaws by taking over kitchen duty. however, his abilities mostly end at cooking for carnivores. ask him for something vegetarian and he will struggle. none of the dogs eat a whole lot of plants, so it’s usually fine, but guests with dietary restrictions should notify him ahead of time! he would feel terrible if someone showed up to a dinner and didnt have any options :(
Henley picked up more of his maternal family’s culinary style. everything he makes is either wonderfully spicy or a sweet pastry/dessert. Henley makes a pan tres leches that will connect you to god’s wifi.

“If you want me to tell your Auntie in Belendt to ask about—“
“Da!” Jesper complains, but he tacks a laugh on to the end — mostly because it’s so ridiculous he has to — until his Da laughs too. “Enough about me and my non-existent dating life. How’s the farm? How are the chickens?”
It works as intended; his father starts to tell him about how his neighbour Mrs Oko hasn’t exactly stolen his chicken-shaped salt shakers but she came round last night for supper Jes and you see, I just can’t find those damned things anywhere. Have you checked the top of the microwave? Of course I’ve checked the top of the microwave.
(Jesper thinks he knows where he’ll find them whenever he next visits. Soon. Soon.)
When Jesper finally hangs up the phone his cereal bowl has long been empty. He groans, squeezing his eyes shut tight and certain he said something stupid.
“So,” Kaz asks. Jesper looks up at him. “How are the chickens?”
“Shut it,” Jesper replies, and Kaz says nothing more.

There you have it. A comprehensive list of African gods' names and meanings. With the introduction of larger religions such as Islam and Christianity, the concept of African deity is slowly losing its meaning. However, some ethnic communities still believe in and worship these gods and goddesses even today.
Tuko.co.ke published an article about the list of major religions in Africa. Before the white man came to Africa, the African people had a doctrine. Little is known about the ancient African religions. However, it is a fact that all doctrines have common features such as belief in a supernatural power, the belief of life after death and the beliefs surrounding burial.
Research shows that the majority of citizens in Nigeria and Africa as a whole are devoted Christians. The African continent has a variety of religions practised across all regions. In Africa, religiosity has a big influence on arts, culture, lifestyle and traditions of its people.
[row v_align="equal" h_align="center"] [col span__sm="12"] Zašto je važno očuvanje i širenje starinskog sjemenja Najvažnija stvar pri pokretanju ekološkog organskog vrta je kupiti organsko sjeme. Odlučili ste se za organski uzgoj jer želite uzgajati najzdraviju hranu. Želite se brinuti o zemljištu i poticati zdravo tlo, zdrave biljke i jake sustave života. Stoga je od vitalne važnosti da počnete s organskim sjemenkama. Zašto? Jer svako sjeme ima pozadinsku priču. Jednostavno rečeno, konvencionalno sjeme uzgaja se u konvencionalnim sustavima: sintetička gnojiva i jaki pesticidi. Organsko sjeme uzgaja se u organskim sustavima: s naglaskom na zdravlje tla i biljaka, uz prirodna gnojiva i suzbijanje štetočina. No, uđimo u ovo malo dublje. Organsko sjeme uzgaja se kako bi se dobro pokazalo u organskim sustavima. To znači da je sjemenski uzgoj uzgojen organski, bez uporabe kemijskih gnojiva ili oštrih pesticida. Umjesto da se umjetno podupiru, usjevi se uzgajaju kako bi preživjeli i napredovali u sustavima koji se oslanjaju na zdravo tlo, koristeći iste tehnike koje ćete koristiti za uzgoj svog vrta. Ako ni zbog čega drugog, trebate kupiti sjeme koje je uzgojeno kako bi dobro raslo u organskom vrtu. Kad to učinite, pobrinut ćete se da počnete sa sortama koje imaju najjaču prirodnu otpornost na štetočine i bolesti. [ux_image id="1976"] Starinske sorte sjemenja su otpornije i prilagodljivije Za "berbu" sjemena usjevi moraju ostati na polju mnogo dulje od prehrambenih usjeva kako bi sjeme sazrelo. Zamislite tikvice: najbolje je jesti prije nego se sjemenke potpuno razviju, pa beremo nježno voće, obično ne dulje od 25cm. Prilikom berbe sjemena puštamo da plod naraste do razmjera 50cm i više, dajući sjemenu unutar vremena da potpuno sazrije u održivo jako sjeme. Što dulje usjev ostane na polju, veća je mogućnost da će ga duže ili više napadati štetočine i bolesti. U slučaju organskog sjemena, to znači da uzgajivač sjemena mora održavati biljke zdravima do sazrijevanja sjemena, izvlačiti biljke koje su pogođene štetočinama i bolestima te zadržati one koje ga čine zdravim tijekom cijele sezone. Ovaj postupak odabira znači da dobivate sjeme iz najzdravijih i najjačih biljaka, što će zauzvrat prenijeti tu genetiku na buduću generaciju sjemena. Konvencionalno uzgojeno sjeme ostaje na poljima jednako dugo. Razlika je, međutim, u tome što se uzgajaju izvan organskih standarda. Budući da sjeme nije klasificirano kao hrana, konvencionalnim poljoprivrednicima je dopušteno primijeniti više pesticida na usjev, što loše utječe na okoliš, zdravlje ljudi i kvalitetu(okus, miris) povrća. Zajedno s činjenicom da sjemenske kulture provode mnogo više vremena na polju, to znači da konvencionalno sjeme nosi mnogo veće opterećenje pesticidima od organski uzgojene hrane. Pogledajte naše starniske sorte sjemenja ovdje. To znači dvije važne stvari za organskog uzgajivača: Učinci konvencionalnog sjemena uzvodno na okoliš štetni su, kako za okoliš, tako i za poljoprivrednike koji su izloženi pesticidima. Uobičajeno sjeme uzgojeno je za uzgoj uz pomoć sintetičkih gnojiva i pesticida, a bez njih se u organskom vrtu možda neće ponašati tako dobro. Kao organski uzgajivač želim znati da je sjeme s kojim počinjem uzgojeno na način koji potiče život. To uključuje živote poljoprivrednih radnika koji su njegovali sjemenski usjev, živote insekata i životinja oko farme, život tla i život vode, koja je prečesto zagađena otjecanjem s farme. Organski vrtlari i poljoprivrednici imaju toliko moći da zacijele tlo, brinu se o okolišu i brinu se o ljudima u isto vrijeme. Sve počinje sjemenom. Organskim sjemenom. Zašto su starinske sorte sjemenja bolji izbor Za nas koji se odlučujemo uzgajati i jesti organsku hranu zbog zdravstvenih ili ekoloških briga, organski izvor sjemena je od velike važnosti! Da bi biljka otišla u sjeme, mora dovršiti cijeli svoj životni ciklus reproduktivne biljke. Raste od malog izdanaka do biljke pune veličine koja proizvodi zrelo sjeme, koje se može sakupiti.
Za većinu biljaka ovo traje nekoliko mjeseci. Nažalost, što je biljka dulje u tlu, to je izloženija bolestima i štetočinama. Konvencionalne sjemenarske tvrtke često i obilno primjenjuju pesticide i fungicide za tretiranje toga. Vidite, sjemenski usjevi ne uzgajaju se za prehranu ljudi - nitko ih nikada neće jesti. Dakle, propisi o pesticidima su manje strogi i dopuštene su veće doze potencijalno štetnih kemikalija u usjevima koji se proizvode samo za sjemenske zalihe. Ovo je užasna vijest za okoliš, jer te kemikalije prodiru u tlo i često se nalaze u opticanju naših rijeka i potoka. S druge strane, proizvođači organskog starinskog sjemena poput nas ne koriste pesticide. Stoga su ti proizvođači skloniji uzgoju svojih sadnica na način koji se usredotočuje na sprječavanje bolesti u kontroliranim okruženjima. Osim toga, ekološki proizvođači uzgajaju sjeme i sorte koje su prikladnije za uzgoj na ekološkim farmama u zdravom tlu, a koje odgovaraju na programe organske bolesti i suzbijanja štetočina. To organskim uzgajivačima daje bolje šanse za uspjeh počevši od organskog sjemena. Zašto izbjegavati tretirano konvecionalno sjeme U konvencionalnoj poljoprivredi za razliku od organske poljoprivrede i permakulture koju zagovaramo neke sjemenke, poput graška i graha, imaju tendenciju truljenja na vlažnim tlima. Kako bi se to spriječilo, neke tvrtke prodaju tretirano sjeme. Ovo sjeme je obloženo Anti gljivičnim i antibakterijskim kemikalijama koje sprječavaju truljenje i poboljšavaju klijanje sjemena. Ako ovo sjeme okrećete po ruci, kemikalije će vjerojatno ostaviti bijeli praškasti premaz na vašim dlanovima i prstima. Zašto je sjeme važno i koje su prednosti starinskih sorti? Sjeme je važno jer je početak većine onoga što nosimo, što jedemo i onoga što koristimo u svakodnevnom životu. Suvremena poljoprivreda potisnula je poljoprivredu u veće prinose, ali nažalost, bila je štetna za naš okoliš i bio raznolikost biljaka. Vrijeme je da sijemo više. Posljednjih nekoliko desetljeća industrijska poljoprivreda razvila je sjeme pogodno za intenzivnu kemijsku poljoprivredu. Iako je to ponekad rezultiralo većim prinosima, došlo je do vrlo stvarnih troškova. Neželjene posljedice uključuju zagađenje zraka i vode , povećana uporaba pesticida, veća ovisnost o fosilnim gorivima, narušeno zdravlje tla i gubitak biološke i genetske raznolikosti. To su činjenice. Što možemo učiniti? Odgovor bi bio posijati više organskog sjemena, ali to nije tako jednostavno. Dostupnost organskog sjemena je ograničena, uglavnom zbog nedostatka sredstava. U hrvatskoj postoji mali broj OPG-ova poput našeg, sjemenara i sjemanarskih udruga poput udruge "Duga" koji radimo na očuvanju i proširenju starinskog sjemenja. Po čemu se organsko sjeme razlikuje? Organsko sjeme dolazi iz organskih biljaka. Znam da ovo zvuči kao zdrav razum, ali razmislite o tome na ovaj način. Da bi proizvela sjeme, biljka mora proći cijeli ciklus u svom životu, za to vrijeme je u zemlji duže nego što bi bila biljka ubrana za hranu. Dok se čeka sjeme, konvencionalna biljka bit će toliko dugo izložena sintetičkim pesticidima. Organska biljka nije prskana sintetičkim pesticidima, što znači da čak i ako je u zemlji dodatnih nekoliko tjedana, ostaje bez otrovnih kemikalija - pa tako ni zemlja oko nje. Na slici niže je paradajz iz našeg vrta. Starinska sorta cherry rajčice. Organsko sjeme uzgaja se kako bi izdržalo teže uvjete Budući da organskim uzgajivačima nije dopušteno koristiti sintetičke pesticide na svojim biljkama, biljke se prirodno prilagođavaju da se odupru štetočinama i drugim prirodnim neprijateljima, poput oštrog vremena. Moraju, kako bi se obranili. Kad se koristi organsko sjeme, biljke imaju tu unutrašnju snagu. Organsko sjeme ima 'optimalnu prirodnu genetiku' kakvu žele ekološki poljoprivrednici i potrošači. Drugim riječima, okus, boja, hranjivost i prirodna obrana nastaju u samom sjemenu. Razmislite o starinskim sortama rajčica. To su rajčice koje nisu genetski
modificirane, ali su uzgojene sa sačuvanim sjemenom koje je pokazalo da daje ukusnije voće od konvencionalnih rajčica. Saznajte kako na prirodan način urediti okolinu i povećati svoj prinos uz prirodne zakone prirode. Klikni ovdje Organsko sjeme pomaže očuvanju genetske raznolikosti biljaka Ekološki poljoprivrednici mogu iz godine u godinu saditi isto sjeme, a konvencionalni poljoprivrednici ne mogu. To znači da ekološki poljoprivrednici mogu odabrati najjače, najbolje sjeme i koristiti ih kako bi osigurali da čine veliki dio usjeva. Kako se naša klima, okoliš i poljoprivredne prakse mijenjaju, važno je odgovoriti na ove evoluirajuće potrebe sposobnošću održavanja poljoprivrednih sustava. To uključuje raznolikost sjemena kako bi moglo izdržati te promjene, jer manja genetska baza prijeti konvencionalnim usjevima zbog povećane osjetljivosti na bolesti i štetočine. Jedan primjer je Gossovo uvenuće, bolest koja može smanjiti prinose kukuruza do 50 posto. Ova razorna bolest može se kontrolirati plodoredom, koji konvencionalni poljoprivrednici obično ne prakticiraju, te sadnjom sjemena s genetskom otpornošću. Otpor neće biljci dati imunitet, ali može smanjiti gubitak prinosa. Čuvanje sjemena Očuvanje sjemena veliki je dio očuvanja kulturnih i autohtonih sorti sjemena i uglavnom je nezakonita u konvencionalnoj poljoprivredi zbog patenata sjemena koji zabranjuju spremanje sjemena. Važnost uštede sjemena prikazana je u ovom članku: Očuvanje starinskog sjemenja ključna je za ideale održivosti i sigurnosti hrane, osobito u vrijeme zabrinutosti zbog klimatskih promjena i sigurnosti hrane. Samo otvoreno oprašeno starinsko sjemenje ima sposobnost prilagodbe promjenjivim klimatskim uvjetima u vremenskom okviru u kojem se ćemo vidjeti klimatske promjene koje se manifestiraju kao što su suše, kasni i rani mrazevi, tuče i poplave, napadi insekata i drugih životinjskih vrsta na usjeve. Raznolikost ogranskih vrtova i primjenom permakulture pružit će osnovu za nastavak odabira sjemenja i povrća koji se najviše mogu prilagoditi tim promjenama. Kao što vidite, organsko sjeme naj važniji je dio organske poljoprivrede. Postanite čuvar starinskih sorti sjemenja za sebe i svoju obitelj Pozivamo vas da uzgajate vrtove umjesto travnjaka kod kuće, na balkonima, na gradskim vrtovima, u tegli u kuhinji, na zemlji, njivi, vikendici, na crnoj zagorskoj zemlji, na ravnoj slavonskoj zemlji, na crvenoj primorskoj i dalmatinskoj zemlji i gdje god još možete i umijete...

How This Aquaponics Farmer Is Reinventing Urban Agriculture (PBS Terra, 6/29/23)
Time for some more Rahi. I've made a handful more since I last posted, and updated two of my older ones.
Fikou Nui Massive Spider Rahi closely related to the Fikou spiders. They will eat almost anything they can catch. They prefer dark, damp places, so they are commonly found in the jungles of Ga-Oko and Le-Oko, as well as the caverns of Onu-Oko. They were made from a modified version of the actual Fikou Nui.
Whali Small bugs that can be found all over Okoto Nui. Like the fikou Nui, they were made from a modified version of the Whali.
Tarakava Large, aggressive, lizard-like Rahi. Where as Murk Lurkers stalk swamps and marshlands, Tarakava live in the shallows along the coastlines. They dig out burrows under water to live in, and regularly grab airweed to use to create air bubbles in their dens. They lie in wait to ambush their prey, stunning or killing it with a swift and powerful punch. Some Tarakava have recently learned to 'farm' coral. They have been observed taking rocks with coral growth and relocating it to the mouth of their den. As the coral grows, it attracts small fish for the safety of the coral. The small fish draw in their larger predators, and consequently prey for the Tarakava.
Khabew Massive beetle-like Rahi. They are solitary Rahi and have few predators due to their armor, bulk, and the powerful horn cannons they possess on the back of their thorax. Khabew Massive beetle-like Rahi. They are solitary Rahi and have few predators due to their armor, bulk, and the powerful horn cannons they possess on the back of their thorax. They are found mostly in the desert of Po-Oko, but some haveb een spotted in Ta-Oko. Khazaak and Zilaak's Bonehunters have on numerous occassions captured them and pit them against other Rahi in colesseum fights in Old Po-Ifo.
And the updates. Recently got some new parts, namely the articulated Piraka Feet, and figured out a better wing structure for the Kahu.
Some additional renders. Pretty sure I shared the last three before, but figured I'd share the updated versions again. Up top is a swimming Tarakava with a school of tropical fish traveling with it for protection. The fish are Rewii, which I shared before. Last three, like I said, are updates to some old Renders I did before.

There you have it. A comprehensive list of African gods' names and meanings. With the introduction of larger religions such as Islam and Christianity, the concept of African deity is slowly losing its meaning. However, some ethnic communities still believe in and worship these gods and goddesses even today.
Tuko.co.ke published an article about the list of major religions in Africa. Before the white man came to Africa, the African people had a doctrine. Little is known about the ancient African religions. However, it is a fact that all doctrines have common features such as belief in a supernatural power, the belief of life after death and the beliefs surrounding burial.
Research shows that the majority of citizens in Nigeria and Africa as a whole are devoted Christians. The African continent has a variety of religions practised across all regions. In Africa, religiosity has a big influence on arts, culture, lifestyle and traditions of its people.
How... just how many cards are there in that game? But I guess I choose Alesha, who smiles at death because it sounds so poetic. Fey Steed has been a close second though. Seriously, I can't get over how many cards there are.
Hey Lanarion!
Not counting lands and unique prints, at the time of this answer, there are 23,156 Magic: The Gathering cards registered on Scryfall, with many more sets soon to come.
Anyway, let's start with Alesha, Who Smiles at Death. She's our canon trans woman and she chose her name after killing a dragon, naming herself after her grandmother. She also turned a transphobe into a staunch ally in the course of her story. We love to see a girlboss win, and I mean that unironically.
As a card, she is a 3 power, 2 toughness Red First Striker for 3 energy. Whenever she attacks, you can pay 2 White, 2 Black, or a mix of the two colors to return a weaker creature (power 2 or less) from the graveyard to the battlefield tapped and attacking. Her flavor text is a quote of hers, saying "Greet death with sword in hand."
So naturally, I would make her the focus of a spell to ease a trans woman's dysphoria. Since she's a Legendary Creature, I feel safe saying that one would call upon her (treating her as a spirit or archetype) for courage to exist as one's true self and protection from transphobes.
As we've established, I love me some good rocks, but let's play around with plants and other things for this. We really only need one Red energy (so the other two can be generic), so let's go for cactus spines for an offensive protection. For the other two, how about a candle in a gender-affirming color for the dysphoria relief and uhhhh does red pepper for courage make sense? I don't know, I don't use plants. Anyway, a triple-dose of Red energy would be more than enough to fuck up anyone that looks at a trans woman sideways.
Now, let's talk about Fey Steed. This was one of the Elks that made me almost make my Elk deck tri-color (RIP double-Oko, Thief of Crowns; you and your 3/3 Green Elk army will be missed). It's a 4 power, 4 toughness White creature for 4 energy (a double-White with 2 generic). When it attacks, another attacking creature you control becomes Indestructible until end of turn. When a creature or planeswalker you control becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, you have the option to draw a card.
Now, this is a tricky one, because I have trouble with White energy. I've always struggled with it. And I don't want to keep pumping out protection-based stuff, so let's give the Elk a gun.
So someone done fucked with you and your buddies. You may or may not want to harm them, but then you think it would be even funnier to bless everyone around them instead so they're left wondering why their own luck sucks in comparison. So get yourself some kind of deer/elk memorabilia (farm supply stores often have little animal statues, start there), some blessing plants (rosemary? rice? I don't know, I don't do plants, but those are both White-aligned), and you light them fuckers up and wave the animal statue in the smoke. Then you tell your little deer or elk (or delk, or perhaps eer) to go bless everyone around that person but not them, and you put that little toy somewhere safe so it can work in peace. Outside of your house? By a window? Who knows! I don't! I'm a wizard on the internet, I don't live in your house!
So now you've got this little magic animal that's hitting everyone except the jackass with Blessing Bullets. Fuck yeah, Elks.
...I may have gotten a little unhinged in that last section. Anyway have fun with your Elk Gun.

Kupiti povratne veze
Trebate li kupiti povratne veze ili jednostavno kupovati jednu po jednu poveznicu?
Postoji dosta kontroverzi oko pravog načina korištenja SEO-a i izgradnje povratnih veza. Trebate li kupiti povratne veze? Ili biste trebali graditi svoje dolazne veze na "staromodan način". Ovo je vruća tema na svjetskim forumima i nije nešto na što je lako odgovoriti. Zaista nema ispravnog ili krivog.Velike tvrtke i poveznice U prošlosti su velike tvrtke bile jedine koje su si mogle priuštiti interno osoblje ili vanjske radnike da rade na ovom aspektu njihovog online marketinga. Aspektu za koji bi mnogi tvrdili da je najvažniji. Velike tvrtke mogu izgraditi ogromne web stranice sa stotinama i stotinama stranica. I to mogu vrlo brzo. Oni nemaju problema s povratnim poveznicama na svoje stranice. Zapravo, vjerojatno ih dobivaju milijune, što znači da će ih tražilice preferirati.Male tvrtke i poveznice Vlasnici malih tvrtki bili su prisiljeni izgraditi vlastite povratne veze. Sve donedavno nisu imali resurse da se to učini umjesto njih. Stoga se ni na koji način nisu mogli natjecati s ogromnim korporacijama koje su gutale povratne veze kao slatkiše i zauvijek osigurale svoja prva mjesta na ljestvici tražilica. Ali postalo je lakše za male poduzetnike. Sada postoje usluge koje manjim ribama u ribnjaku omogućuju kupnju povratne veze koja ne košta ruku i nogu. Međutim, postoje neki važni pojmovi koje morate imati na umu i stvari koje morate izbjegavati.Kvaliteta povratnih veza - kupiti povratne veze Prije svega, zapamtite da sve povratne veze nisu iste kvalitete i da dobivanje gomile veza niske kvalitete zapravo može naštetiti rangiranju u tražilici, a ne poboljšati ga. Drugo, iako vam kupnja povratnih veza može uštedjeti puno vremena, nije jeftina i postoji opasnost da vas Google (osobito) i druge tražilice označe. I želite biti sigurni da ne bacate svoj novac samo na neku uslugu. Nemojte birati samo najjeftinije veze kako biste uštedjeli novac. Prvo istražite. Klonite se stotina veza koje sve dolaze iz istog izvora (obično se nazivaju "farme veza"). Lako ih je pratiti i tražilice ih jako osuđuju tako da vas neće daleko dovesti. Također se klonite tvrtki koje reklamiraju kupnju i prodaju poveznica. Ove veze će također prije ili kasnije biti označene od strane tražilica i nisu vrijedne rizika. Zapamtite da su povratne veze postale vrlo popularna roba.Ako odlučite uložiti u njih, želite biti sigurni da dobivate kvalitetu koju plaćate. Ne kupujte povratne veze koje morate platiti svaki mjesec. Bolje je kupovati jednu trajnu povratnu vezu svaki mjesec umjesto da plaćate istu uvijek iznova. Ono što plaćate za povratnu vezu može varirati. Ali provjerite jeste li istražili prije nego što odaberete bilo koju uslugu. Read the full article
Novi pokolj u SAD-u: Sedam osoba ubijeno na dvije farme u Kaliforniji
Sedam osoba ubijeno je u pucnjavi na dvije lokacije u gradu Half Moon Bayu, na obali na sjeveru Kalifornije, a čini se da ih je počinila ista osoba, koja je privedena, izvijestile su lokalne vlasti. Grad Half Moon Bay nalazi se oko 50 kilometara južno od San Francisca. Policajci koji su se odazvali na poziv na prvoj su lokaciji našli četiri poginule osobe i još jednu ranjenu, a zatim su na drugom mjestu u blizini našli još tri mrtve osobe, rekla je na konferenciji za novinare šerifkinja Christina Corpus. Obje lokacije na kojima su se dogodili napadi su farme, a kako je izvijestio San Francisco Chronicle, jedna od njih je farma gljiva. Snimka koju je objavio ABC 7 iz Half Moon Baya pokazuje uhićenje prilikom kojega dvojica muškaraca u civilu i jedan u uniformi, s oružjem u ruci, zapovijedaju muškarcu da iziđe iz automobila. Osumnjičenik za pucnjavu je izišao, srušen je na zemlju i pretražen. Ubrzo je na mjesto događaja stiglo još naoružanih policajaca u uniformi. U osumnjičenikovu automobilu pronađeno je oružje, rekla je Corpus. Zadnje masovno ubojstvo dogodilo se prije samo dva dana u Monterey Parku gdje je u pucnjavi ubijeno 11 osoba. O pucnjavama je obaviješten i američki predsjednik Joe Biden, napisala je na Twitteru njegova glasnogovornica Karine Jean-Pierre. Predsjednik je "pozvao savezne snage reda da pruže svu potrebnu pomoć lokalnim vlastima", dodala je. Tportal.hr Photo by kat wilcox Read the full article
