► 15 December 2014 : Now is the perfect time to get started on something new -- maybe a new business venture, or maybe a new relationship. You feel more connected to the world, and should be able to make real progress. You may be quick to disagree with someone today because you secretly hope to stir up a lively debate, even if you don't want to create lasting conflict. Nevertheless, you could attack the wrong person.
► 16 December 2014 : It's not a good time to focus on personal stuff -- put that off for a few days and see if you can't help a friend or colleague in need. Things can get a lot better if you just allow them to spiral out. You may be living under the illusion that you can finish all your work or, at least, make solid progress toward your current goals. However, you might end up spinning your wheels in order to spend time with someone who tugs on your heartstrings. Unfortunately, your relationship expectations could be unrealistic now that vulnerable Venus connects with buoyant Jupiter in your 5th House of Love. Forget about chasing the impossible dream because you have a better chance of finding happiness today by pursuing a more responsible path.
► 17 December 2014 : If you can just pay a little extra attention to that one person, all should go well for both of you. If it's too much trouble, expect for life to get a lot weirder as the day progresses. Keeping your feet on the ground isn't an easy matter today, for you're tempted to set aside the basic facts to chase an unreachable fantasy. Although ignoring the truth may seem like a clever idea, you can't escape your obligations by just slipping off into another dimension. Fortunately, you can still make good use of your imagination without having to fool anyone if you have the courage to take responsibility for your actions. Walk your talk and you will come out on top.
► 18 December 2014 : The distinction between friendship and courtship might be a subtle one now, but it's crucial to be conscious of the difference. Even if you're not seeking more from a relationship, you still can benefit greatly from being aware of your emotions whether expressed or not. However, you don't need to do anything special in order to attain love. Your current lesson is learned by fully experiencing the desires of your heart without attempting to make anyone else responsible for your happiness.
► 19 December 2014 : You've got some big business going on down deep -- and you may need to let it work on its own while you distract your higher mental functions with video games or political discussions. You could inadvertently become emotionally hooked by someone else's agenda today. However, participating in an unnecessary melodrama makes it tough to get your own work done. Thankfully, it shouldn't take long to acknowledge that things cannot continue along the same path. You are sensible enough now to change your attitude which can put control of the day back in your hands. Prioritize what you want to accomplish and then reach for your goals with confidence. Combining integrity with persistence is an unbeatable strategy.
► 20 December 2014 : Risking your emotional security seems like a worthwhile gamble today, but an unsuccessful shortcut might require you to go back over the same territory until you learn your lesson. Unfortunately, you may be so entranced by the current excitement that you can't remember your past mistakes. You can trick yourself into believing there's a quick fix when there's none to be found. There's no way around it; the road to success will take time and hard work. A change in attitude will do you a world of good.
► 21 December 2014 : Persuading someone to change their feelings through coercion or empty promises is not a viable way to get what you want today. A smarter strategy is to let go of control and surrender to your emotions now. The ambitious New Moon falls in your 10th House of Career, requiring a brand new approach to your responsibilities. Though compromise isn't normally your style, calculated actions alone will only box you in. Take a chance and express what's in your heart.
► 22 December 2014 : You're often the one who waits until the absolute last minute and then squeaks in under the deadline. But every moment counts now so make a concentrated effort to find your stride early in the day. The sooner you begin a project today, the longer you can sustain a high level of productivity. But starting out of the gate quickly makes sense only if you're willing to set a manageable pace that you can maintain until you reach the finish line.
► 23 December 2014 : You need to take a break, or at least slow down a little. Things are starting to get a little weird, but your attention to self-care is all it takes for you to get back on track. You don't want to slow down for anyone today, but you wisely understand that expending too much energy to make insignificant gains isn't such a great idea. You're being challenged to accomplish everything that you set out to do now. However, it's best to act methodically rather than frantically fighting an uphill battle. Instead of attempting to finish what you begin, just lay a solid foundation for what's to follow. Work smarter, not harder.
► 24 December 2014 : Your ability to get things done quickly tempts you to take on more responsibilities than you can possibly finish. However, your holiday spirit may run into trouble if you overextend your reach today. Instead of thinking that you need to convert every intellectual breakthrough into tangible results, just allow your brilliant ideas to come and go like the tides. Visualize yourself standing on the shores of awareness, but remember that you don't have to capture every individual wave to make your mark.
► 25 December 2014 : Something new comes your way and excites you beyond all reason. It may be a person, actually, but no matter what, your energy and your reaction set the tone for your interactions. Acknowledging your feelings may be a real struggle today because they interfere with your original agenda. Fortunately, your self-esteem is strong enough to handle some very intense self-examination now that can bring your personal objectives into greater focus. But the real lesson today isn't about your emotional growth; it's about balancing your need to meet existing responsibilities with your desire to create more meaningful relationships. Spend time with those you love and leave your worries behind.
► 26 December 2014 : Helping others is as good as it gets for you right now -- and every good deed you do racks up twice as much good karma. Something you do this morning comes back to honor you tomorrow. Responsibilities pull you back into the real world today, even if you go kicking and screaming the whole way. Unfortunately, denial isn't an option now; you can't escape the obligations you have allowed to pile up. Thankfully, taking a mature approach to your commitments enables you to perform your earthly tasks while also pursuing more spiritual interests. Don't aim for an either/or solution to your dilemma; build your current strategy on inclusive thinking. A holistic philosophy empowers you to work simultaneously on multiple levels.
► 27 December 2014 : As you gaze into the future, you realize you need to plan for a change in direction to conserve your resources. You might even consider going on a retreat, especially if you feel as if you're running on empty. Creating space for a bit of solitude can be challenging today, yet time alone is more valuable than you think. Ironically, the more complicated it is to schedule some downtime, the more you need it. Don't make excuses; just make it happen.
► 28 December 2014 : Action is key to fun and success today -- so don't slow down unless you must. As long as you keep in motion, you should find that obstacles fade away and challenges turn into opportunities. Rushing into a situation without any forethought sounds perfectly fine to you, especially since the Moon returns to your impetuous sign early this morning. Unfortunately, your reckless behavior could arouse strong reactions from friends and acquaintances. Although it's wise to wait it out and see how you feel in a couple of days, you might not be able to resist the excitement of embarking on something new. If your sense of urgency gets the best of you, at least temper your actions so you don't create too much chaos.
► 29 December 2014 : You know exactly what you want today with the Aries Moon brightly reflecting your needs. But, unfortunately, sharing your heart's desires might not bring you any closer to satisfaction now if others don't understand what you're saying. Communication is tricky for a couple of days while trickster Mercury is orbiting under the influence of delusional Neptune. You can talk yourself into doing nearly anything, but keeping your feelings to yourself works in your favor. In the meantime, cultivate your future by giving yourself permission to dream.
► 30 December 2014 : Now is the time to snap into action -- you're not going to get another opportunity like this for quite some time! Your energy is perfect for making a move and getting others to do the same, if necessary. Sticking to a proven method brings better results today than trying a whole new approach. You may grow restless if everything seems too familiar; however, it's much smarter now to manage your anxiety by gradually modifying your attitude instead of randomly messing with your environment. Thankfully, once you settle into a routine, most everything should get easier to handle all around. Surprisingly, slow and steady change will be much more satisfying than you think.
► 31 December 2014 : You should ask for what you want forcefully -- but not so much that you step on toes. That is sure to turn people off, so use tact and you should end the day really happy. You may be known for your ability to act spontaneously rather than planning ahead; nevertheless, you can also be quite patient if you want something badly enough. Although your current desires are strong, you're not in too much of a hurry now. In fact, you might even feel lazy enough today to luxuriate in the status quo. But don't get too complacent because a rising tide of enthusiasm is raising the stakes in the game. Your current creative efforts are more important than you think; embrace the future by initiating action in the present moment.
► 16 December 2014 : It's not a good time to focus on personal stuff -- put that off for a few days and see if you can't help a friend or colleague in need. Things can get a lot better if you just allow them to spiral out. You may be living under the illusion that you can finish all your work or, at least, make solid progress toward your current goals.

■ In 2015, Vladimir Putin may witness his empire's death knell
Apart from the development of the political conditions, Russia's GDP growth will reach 0.5 percent range, based on World Bank calculations. The World Bank has prepared three scenarios for Russia's economic growth based on the development of the political situation in the world today and the future. However, regardless of the political conditions that will happen, Russia's GDP growth in 2014 will reach 0.5 percent range. This indicate Russia is able to avoid a recession this year.
Russia's economic growth next depends on Russia's relations with Western countries. Therefore, the World Bank has prepared three scenarios for the growth of the Russian economy. The first scenario assumes that although this year Russia's GDP will not change, next year Russia's GDP will grow minimal, ie, 0.3 in 2015 and 0.4 percent in 2016.

If you pay attention to the people culture in Asian countries, then you will find when they are upset or really angry then they will curse to those who have made them angry by calling them with the names of animals such as monkey, dog, pig, even this is done by parents to their children. Most of them which are referred to as the personification of a person who has made them angry are mammals. Although derived from mammals, but they rarely mention the names of elephant, horse, rabbit, cat. They also do not include a group of fish, birds, molluscs and reptiles in the list of their indignity expression.
And I laugh to myself when guessing one thing, mmm ...., this might be caused by the human subconscious to vent the encouragement of their libido behind their negative emotions : personification of man as an animal is derived from a group of mammals that can be sodomized. And it is very rare or it can be said they never mention the animals name from the insects group for cursing, for example ants. "Ants! Ants! You are an ant!". Never.
Well, to sodomize the ants? Oh? Like it? Do it. Good luck!
And you, Mr. Obama, you do not need to get upset if you're called a monkey by North Korea. If you are not a monkey, why you must get angry when people curse you as a monkey, hm?

If you love something, then something always look different from the others, even though they are essentially the same. What is the difference of snow in Russia and America? They are equally chilled, frozen, do not have feelings, and I hate them all. But like I said earlier, if you love something, then something always look different from the others, even though they are essentially the same. I like a Russian. He is not an ordinary person. He is a strong man who will bring Russia to regain the time of its greatness, as in the era of Soviet Union. If you wake up with the light heart and mind, as light as light as the cloud, and you drink a cup of warm milk in the mornings with your baby's laughter in the stroller, for then you feel the world is so happy with its little happiness, it is because you live in a country with a wise leader. But have you ever thought to occasionally dive into your leader's mind who is so nurturing your soul? No? Too bad. I often do that. And I like what is in his mind. Well, you are right. He is Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin makes me agree on at least one thing : that the snow in Russia is different from the U.S. snow.

Santa Claus looks through a window at Himmelpfort, Germany. He invited 20 children who had sent him especially beautiful wish lists to have a pre-Christmas party. About 293,000 wish lists were sent to the Christmas post office this year. PHOTOGRAPH BY: Bernd Settnik / EPA
Your eyes! Your eyes! Yes, I know it: you are a saint from Europe, not from America. And I also do not have to explain to you, how the appearance of Santa from Africa or Niger, eehhehe ...
Ops! this one above, ... whoa! Are you are a monkey or what? ...... Where do you come from, hm? Why are you grinning cheerfully in my window? I know it's not a sensual grin. So, what do you want? Delicious food? Secret phone number? Service book? Science books? Or, well, yeah, who knows one thing in your head? Want to make love to me, maybe?
Ahahahaa ...

Dieudonné, Alain Soral - Réconciliation nationale : les propositions de logos. Dieudonné et Alain Soral présentent les très nombreuses propositions de logos reçues pour le parti Réconciliation nationale et font le point sur l’avancée du projet. Il est à noter que le journal en ligne Mediapart, dirigé par le trotskyste Edwy Plenel, a souhaité participer au concours de logos via l'un de ses blogs en proposant ceci
Maybe it would be better if the logo is returned to the meaning and steps are being carried out, prefer the vision and mission of the party, so that later, all parties -- both internally and externally -- will understand what is being done by the party. The outside community will understand that mindset revolution is happening. Show that by being outside the circle then your group can afford to objectively and understand the actual condition of the nation. Indicates that you are back to the original purpose of the party establishment, back to the way you should do in your world.
As for the internal side it becomes to have meaning as an invitation, notification of any changes to the program, thus making awareness to improve the direction and goals that have been implemented. Give the meaning of a modern impression, flexibility, follow the changing times without leaving the noble values of the wealth of the nation, pluralistic and universal.
Globalization makes the party's introduction into a product which must be introduced and generally known. Introduce its quality. A way, and not connote party of human to be equated with the goods, but the emphasis of a way to promote to the public as a first step to achieve the party's goal. This method can explicitly introduce more value owned by your party, competitive value and the value of excellence that makes the difference from the other party.
Thus the party analogy with the product's introduction, making it easier to do marketing in accordance with the theories of marketing management which scientifically valid. Strengthen brand image, creating a new and better image, building the image. Of course, all of this will go well if all the elements in it move forward in the same step, in one breath, in one soul in the vision and mission.
Consolidation, self improvement and unification of the vision and mission into the main program for the internal. Give the highest award for all the good intentions to change for the better. May this be the beginning for the next step, step to achieve good in a good way, so that all the people and of course, God bless you. Mwah! I kiss you tenderly in my mind. Mwah.
Um, by the way, how's your penis today?
Is it quite happy at this Christmas, hm? Well, may peace be always with you: your bald head & your sexy penis. Merry Christmas, good French man. Merry Christmas, good France penis. Mwah.
