► 1 May 2015 : Your productivity can reach new heights now, even if you fritter some of the day away. However, just drifting along isn't in your best interest; you must make a concerted effort to use the cosmic energy that's available to you today. The real key to your success is to focus on one activity at a time. It's quite simple: if you maintain your concentration, even for short bursts of focused intensity, you will get so much work done in such a short amount of time that others will think you're a wizard. Intention plus hard work equals magic.
► 2 May 2015 : Although you Rams are sometimes criticized for behaving selfishly, the emphasis is on everyone else today. You might even feel a sense of relief now that you can take a break from focusing on your own personal agenda. Instead of trying to get your way, concentrate on what you could do for others to make them feel at ease. Fortunately, your current graciousness allows everyone to reflect your positive vibes back to you.
► 3 May 2015 : Sticking close to the facts is crucial today because deviations from the truth elicit an unavoidable reality check. You can run into trouble if you don't think about the impact of your words before you speak. But you won't get away with shallow communication while the Scorpio Full Moon illuminates your 8th House of Deep Sharing. Creating intimacy in a relationship requires you to have the courage to delve into your emotions. Open your heart and meet the other person halfway.
► 4 May 2015 : You must make a decision today as your desire to demonstrate your love conflicts with more practical pursuits. It's as if your gesture of affection could cause negative ripples in other parts of your life. Nevertheless, you might choose to proceed as if you didn't care what happens next. Be careful; there's no reason to push an unstable situation past the point of no return. Your plans will only fall apart if you go overboard in your drive to experience pleasure in the moment. Observe the edge without going over it.
► 5 May 2015 : People can't help but take notice of you when you walk into a room today. It's as if they are watching your every move to see what you will do next. Don't squander this chance to bring others into your camp. Remember, your persuasive powers are the strongest if you remain true to yourself -- so consider what you value most. Your integrity is non-negotiable; once you are clear about your priorities you can let circumstances influence your progress, but not your direction.
► 6 May 2015 : Fixating on your future goals makes focusing on the present moment impossible. Nevertheless, you're like a bee to honey today and you can't take your mind off the road ahead. Perhaps the temptation of so many lovely flowers is just plain irresistible. Nevertheless, ignoring your current responsibilities is not an option. Make whatever modifications to your schedule are necessary to reach your goals. Take care of business now so you can embrace your future later without any baggage.
► 7 May 2015 : You aren't happy with your busy schedule today, but you're resigned to take the more responsible path anyway. Nevertheless, you must confront your irrepressible temptation to procrastinate; nothing will be gained by distracting yourself from your current obligations. Thankfully, once you commit to wholeheartedly focusing your intentions, you gain the power to harness your unrealized potential and have a productive day in spite of yourself. Ironically, your mind is your weakest link and your greatest ally.
► 8 May 2015 : Your self-confidence is based on your practical outlook today; you know your strengths and understand what you must do to achieve your goals. However, you still may worry about the possible reaction to your direct approach. Although you might not mislead anyone intentionally, you're tempted to sidestep a delicate situation because Venus' shift into receptive Cancer increases your vulnerability. Nevertheless, your self-esteem could suffer unless you follow through with your original intentions and just get the job done.
► 9 May 2015 : You are a quick learner and thinking on your feet enables you to be quite comfortable in situations that would make others uneasy. However, you may get your signals crossed today and make a decision based on a misunderstanding. Reality isn't as black and white as you expect; you see a lot of shades of gray now. Acknowledging your lack of certainty lessens the pressure you might feel. Instead of running with one of your spontaneous ideas, it's wiser to take your cues from others. You don't always have to be the leader of the pack.
► 10 May 2015 : Although you are widely known for your impulsive behavior, your current social involvement is probably more considered. Your motives might not be obvious, but you could go out of your way now to cooperate with people to hide your fear of rejection. Unfortunately, this uncharacteristic strategy won't likely lead to the results you seek. Instead, adopt a radical approach by expressing your feelings and letting the cards fall where they may. Others find it easier to converse with you when you are upfront and honest right from the start.
► 11 May 2015 : It feels as if you're standing on the edge of an emotional cliff trying to decide whether or not to jump. You intuitively believe that you'll be safe as you fly toward the ground, yet the adrenaline rush is exciting. However, this mysterious gravitational tug with the unknown is also be a bit scary. You're not as confident once you enter the feeling realm, especially if you don't think you're in control of the situation. Nevertheless, your experience can be meaningful and memorable if you're willing to take a risk with your heart.
► 12 May 2015 : Confusion catches you off guard today if someone you trust seems to be working against you. You might think that everyone's on your side, only to find that complex interpersonal dynamics are hidden from your view. The antidote to your current struggles may be as simple as renewing your commitment to the mutual good of all involved. A stressful aspect between pushy Mars and controlling Pluto leaves little room for selfish behavior. Voicing your intent clearly could be the catalyst that ameliorates the drama and allows you to return to your work sooner than you expect.
► 13 May 2015 : Starting an argument with a friend today isn't in your best interest, even if you believe he or she is hiding something from you. You could unintentionally turn a small oversight or a simple misunderstanding into a full-blown crisis if you're worried about being left out of the action. However, jumping to conclusions about other people's motives isn't wise. Don't expect everyone to always include you in their plans, especially when you are often quick to express your need for independence. Live and let live.
► 14 May 2015 : Your waiting period is over -- or is it? You might rush headstrong into a new project or a new relationship, only to discover that all the pieces aren't quite in place. You may have to do a quick reassessment and modify your plans accordingly. Unfortunately, it's going to take more than a quick fix to get everything right. Don't give up; committing to a goal is more important than ever, even if your timetable still needs revision. Ultimately, your passionate determination will bring the rewards you seek.
► 15 May 2015 : You attempt to convince others that you're right today by making bold assertions about your capabilities. However, your enthusiasm isn't a substitute for the practical work that's required to reach your goals. You should be able to overcome most any resistance you encounter now, assuming you haven't aimed too high. Nevertheless, don't expect immediate results, for lasting success will take more time and effort than you thought. Instead of talking about your plans, get busy and show everyone what you can do.

"Today the Ukrainians fight with the name of Bandera on their lips just as they did in the Great Fatherland War," he said, naming a Ukrainian nationalist who collaborated with the Nazis against Soviet forces. "Now we are fighting fascism once again."
Asked what he thought of Western leaders who boycotted the festivities, Andrei said: "Screw them. Peter the Great said Russia only has two allies, the army and the fleet; all the rest are temporary.

► FILM & ANIMATIONS : The Man Who Ate Himself To Death (Full Documentary). The tragic story of Ricky Naputi, one of the world's fattest men. At nearly 65 stone, bedridden and confined to his home on the Pacific island of Guam, Ricky had limited access to obesity medical care. Even finding a doctor to give him the weight-loss surgery he so desperately needed would prove to be a massive challenge.
Ricky lived with Cheryl, his wife of ten years, on a beautiful tropical island, but for the last five years of his life he never would never be able to appreciate it. He had become a prisoner in his own home, trapped in his bed, morbidly obese and unable to walk. In a desperate effort to get help, Ricky and Cheryl tracked down campaigner Angie Flores, herself a former weight-loss surgery patient. However, she lived 10,000 miles away in Houston, Texas. Angie promised Ricky that she would try to find away of getting him to America to have the operation.
Ricky was supported by Cheryl and Angie, but was told that to even be considered for surgery he needed to lose weight and attend a special clinic where his food consumption could be closely monitored. Following Ricky during his last few months and witnessing the devastating consequences of his overeating, this film reveals his last ditch effort to save his life.

This is Tom Staniford who has been diagnosed with an extremely rare condition called MDP syndrome (only affecting 8 people in the world). His condition causes him to be unable to store fat underneath his skin. In contrast to what you might think, he has high levels of fat in his blood which caused him to develop Type II diabetes. Tom is an avid Cyclist and is a British National Paracycling champion.
At 453 body piercing, Rolf Buccholz has the world record for the most number of piercings. Before you say you've seen people with more piercings, you should know that 278 of them are in his genitals. Interestingly the only other rolf I know is the dog from the muppets. Mr boo choltz did not start piercing until he was age 41. He says his palm tattoos were some of the most painful. He was actually denied entry into Dubai because based on his appearance he was suspected of black magic.
This is Jeremey meeks aka Hot Felon. This guy is almost as hot as me. Jeremy Meeks was arrested on Felony weapons charges and when the police posted his mug shot he became an internet sensation. He will be sentenced on January 22, 2015
Patrick Deuel was once one of the heaviest men in the world. Weighing 1072 lbs (486kg) he was know as the half ton man. After a gastric bypass surgery he lost 570lbs (260 kg). What I never understand about these cases is how the people are getting food. Who is the person that is providing them with like 20 big macs? It turns out he is married and his wife did the shopping.
This is Arlindo de Souza who injected his arms with synthol. Synthol, or site enhancing oil, is a mixture of oil and alcohol that can be injected into muscles to give them a greatly inflated appearance. Sort of like stuffing a sock down your shorts. Synthol does not translate into any increased strength. Also unlike real muscle, synthol muscles can droop excessively. While we're on the subject of muscles here's another image. Now some websites suggest that this is another case of synthol and/or anabolic steroids but I don't buy it this image looks photoshopped to me. Furthermore many suspect that Moustafa Ismail, who holds the Guiness book of world records for the biggest arms may have used synthol. Do you think he has?
This is Amoo Hadij an 80-year old Iranian man who claims he hasn't bathed in 60 years. He fears that cleaning himself will make him sick. To be honest besides the dirt he looks pretty good for 80, maybe he's been in like a 60 year mud bath. In addition he says he smokes animal poop… clearly Amoo doesn't give a shit...he smokes it.
You maybe looking at this photo and thinking well that's a tiny cell phone. Nope it's actually a normal sized cell phone and this guy just has a really big hands. This was (Leonid Stadnyk) who was reported to be the tallest main at 8'5" or 2.57M making him taller than Bao Xishun of china who stands at 7'ft 9 (2.36M). however he refused to be measured by the Guiness book of world records. By the way The tallest man to ever live was Robert Wadlow who was officially recorded at 8ft 11in (2.72M)
On the opposite end of the spectrum we have Chandra Bahadur Dangi (dangee) who is the shortest man to ever life. He is 1ft 9 ½ inches or 54.6 cm tall and is currently 75 years old. His condition is called Primordial dwarfism.
This is Yu Zhenhuan (jen juan) who is listed as the hairyest man in the world. He does looks quite hairy although I seem to remember some mexican children who had hairer faces. As you might imagine dating is difficult. He did have a girlfriend for over two years but apparently her family objected to them getting married.
This is Paul Karason aka papa smurf. The reason his skin was blue is that consumed an excessive amount of colloidal silver in order to treat dermatitis on his face. He admitted that the silver didn't actually solve his dermatitis condition. But he said it helped with his acid reflux and arthritis. The bluish tint of his skin is a condition called Argyria (r-geeria). He died at age 62 of a heart attack but his death is not believed to be related to his silver consumption. Apparently Silver has antibacterial properties and before the introduction of Penicillin used to be used to fight infections.
Kaleem is not a man yet but his pictures are some of the most unbelievable. At 8 years old, His hands have grown enormously measuring 13 inches from palm to his middle finger tip. He has difficulty dressing and feeding himself. As you might imagine he has had to deal with bullying in schools and he does not attend school because the teachers have told his family that the other children are scared of his hands. Unfortunately because his family earns only $23 month, it is difficult for him to even get a diagnosis.

► FILM & ANIMATIONS : The 46 Year Pregnancy (Full Documentary). This astonishing documentary examines two remarkable pregnancies. In one, a 75-year-old Moroccan woman gave birth to a 'stone baby', 46 years after it was conceived. And a British woman describes her ectopic pregnancy, in which her baby developed outside the womb.
This almost always leads to the baby's death, but in one of the cases, a boy who developed in the stomach lining and was delivered two months early, survived as one of triplets - at odds of around 60 million to one.
In 1955, in a small village outside Casablanca, Zahra Aboutalib went into labour. Forty-eight hours later, the baby was still unborn so Zahra was rushed to hospital. However, after watching a young woman die in agony on the operating table, she turned and fled in panic, convinced she would suffer the same fate.
Days of excruciating pain followed, then the pains suddenly stopped. Zahra believed in the local myth of the 'sleeping baby', so put the pregnancy out of her mind, believing the baby would be born at a later date.
This never happened, and many decades passed -- during which time Zahra adopted three children and became a grandmother. Aged 75, the agonising pains returned, but several doctors couldn't explain them. Then Dr Taibi Quazzani, who felt that Zahra's swollen stomach indicated an ovarian tumour, sent her for scans.
The result was shocking: the mass inside Zahra's stomach was a calcified baby. Unable to be born, the baby -- which had developed outside the womb and fused with Zahra's internal organs -- had died.
To protect itself from infection from this 'foreign body', the body developed a layer of hard calcified material around the dead baby. This hardened over the years. The operation to remove the calcified foetus was a tricky one, as over the decades it had fused with both Zahra's abdominal wall and the internal organs.
But its mother, who could have died of complications so many times over the years, was lucky once more. She had even been lucky to run from the hospital. Without the required scanning technology, the doctors responsible for Zahra's baby would have opened her up for a Caesarian section unaware of the baby's positioning, and would probably have cut through the umbilical cord.
This could caused massive internal bleeding, killing both Zahra and her baby. There are around 300 cases of the syndrome reported, but Zahra's calcified baby spent the longest time in the womb.

Southern China has always had a tradition of dining on dogs—people from other parts of the country even joke that Southerners will eat anything with legs but the dinner table. But despite becoming more prosperous in the 1990s, Yulin has maintained the unique tradition of holding a canine banquet every summer. Animal rights activists across China and the rest of the globe have increasingly condemned the Dog Meat Festival, calling for an immediate stop to eating man's best friend. They say the dog meat trade is illegal, unregulated, and cruel. Many claim that numerous dogs that end up in cooking pots are stolen pets or diseased strays. In 2013, the Yulin festival gathered so much negative press that this year, the local government denied the Summer Solstice dog-eating tradition ever even existed. But that hasn't stopped locals from celebrating—nor has it stopped die-hard activists from flooding the town to try to rescue dogs before the slaughter. VICE Reports headed to Yulin this year to get to the bottom of the most controversial festival in China.

Yups! I'm not sure orchestration that is being played by the U.S. in the middle of a wide range of economic cooperation arrangements in Asia Pacific region will be effective. This can be seen with the spaghetti bowl phenomenon that shows the complexity of economic regionalism in the world. Today's world issue is increasingly complex, requires transnational coordination among countries in a more open and fair, with transparent governance and involves more actors. Without it all, substantial solution and long-term problems of the world can't be solved.

■ Nepal quake: Why are some tremors so deadly?
Is earthquake itself deadly? I don't think so. Building, and all the infrastructure around us which collapsed because rocked by earthquake is the deadly thing. I'm imagining a life in which the Earth is flat, with no buildings or tall objects in it, and then comes an earthquake, ... mmm ... does it feels like we are riding a roller coaster? Based on this disaster, then the experts in building construction should find the most advanced technology to build anti-seismic buildings at affordable cost, as far as I know anti-earthquake building is more expensive approximately 30% than without anti-earthquake building. But the improvements will cost 2-3 times more than standard fee. When retrofitting is done well, then the cost will swell to 4-8 times.
But I also feel witless alone, how strong the man-made building constructions against the forces of nature?

► Al Jazeera World - Cover Story. Class dynamics are changing in Turkey. When Turkey was founded in 1923 it was on firm secular principles. Turkish women were restricted in wearing the headscarf - known as the hijab outside Turkey - in all public sector jobs and universities for most of the 20th century. During the current AKP party government, a young, confident, female, Muslim middle class has emerged, that is less worried about being socially accepted and more comfortable sharing public spaces with secularists. Hulya Aslan is the editor of Ala, a monthly fashion magazine in Istanbul that serves a growing Turkish market of Muslim women who think that fashion and Islam are compatible - "conservative" women who want to wear the hijab but also want to dress fashionably, with colour and style. This film follows Hulya Aslan at Ala and looks at hijabi fashion, social change in Turkey and the ongoing debate about a Muslim woman's right to choose how she dresses.
