Kiki Aboaba has got your goat. But it’s up to you to prepare it.“We have people come in who think this is a restaurant,” said Aboaba, standing behind the counter of her store, Afrique-Caribb Foods & Meat. “We sell no cooked food here. You’ve got to take it home and cook it yourself.”Aboaba’s store, 12206 E. 51st St., is one of dozens of markets large and small catering to the culinary needs and wants of Tulsa’s increasingly diverse population.These markets range from sprawling super stores offering thousands of products from around the world to small shops that specialize in the foods of certain regions of the globe.As her store name indicates, Aboaba carries items that give people from islands such as Jamaica and West African countries, including Nigeria, Aboaba’s native land, a taste of home.“Jamaicans love their salted cod, their jerk seasonings, their Vita Malt drinks,” she said. “We have a lot of Africans … [Read more...] about Get a taste of the world at these international Tulsa stores

International school in Hanoi told to sever ties with US faculty over scam allegations
An international school in Hanoi has been ordered to cut all ties with another international school in the United States following allegations the school doesn't actually exist, Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training said in a statement released on Tuesday. The Newton Grammar School (NGS) in Hanoi has been asked to sever its collaboration with the George Washington International School (GWIS) in the United States by the ministry. The collaboration allows students from NGS to study on a bilingual learning program, under which they learn subjects like math, science and languages following the GWIS curriculum. Suspicions over the status of GWIS were raised when a Facebook user posted a comment claiming it to be a "ghost school", meaning a school that doesn't actually function or even exist. The post said the school's official website does not provide information regarding the school's year of establishment, or the name of the principal and faculty members. The school's … [Read more...] about International school in Hanoi told to sever ties with US faculty over scam allegations
International Monetary Fund: A major trade rift could imperil solid global economy
The International Monetary Fund warned Tuesday that rising trade tensions between the United States and China risk undermining a global economy that the IMF believes should otherwise grow solidly this year. The lending agency has kept its forecast for worldwide growth this year at 3.9 percent, which would be its fastest pace since 2011. But the IMF's chief economist, Maurice Obstfeld, told reporters that this bright outlook could be derailed by a major trade conflict. Speaking at a news conference, Obstfeld said the IMF had run economic simulations about the impact of a far-reaching trade war that would include across-the-board tariffs of 10 percent. The computer simulations, he said, showed a "fairly substantial" impact from tariffs of that magnitude. Global financial markets would likely also endure damage from rising threats of tariffs, Obstfeld said. Investors have already endured stomach-churning swings this year as markets have wildly in response to the perceived likelihood of a … [Read more...] about International Monetary Fund: A major trade rift could imperil solid global economy

Turkey says Greece flouts international law by not extraditing coup suspects
ANKARA (Reuters) – Turkey accused Greece on Tuesday of violating international law by not extraditing eight Turkish soldiers Ankara believes were supporters of a failed coup attempt in 2016. Turkey and Greece are at odds over various issues. Ankara is fuming over a Greek refusal to return the soldiers, who fled to Greece shortly after the coup bid in July 2016 and asked for political asylum. The two NATO allies were most recently at loggerheads over a flag hoisting in the Aegean Sea. Speaking after a cabinet meeting in Ankara on Tuesday, Turkish government spokesman Bekir Bozdag called on Greece to abandon what he said were provocative moves in order to avoid “unwanted events” in the Aegean.
