► 16 April 2015 : You might not even be aware that you slipped away from the real world and drifted off into the realms of your imagination. But if you look at everything very closely today, you may notice that things are bent slightly out of shape. A temporary escape into this parallel dimension isn't a problem, but confusing your dreams with reality can create quite a mess. Instead of struggling to discern the truth, explore every idea that floats across your consciousness as if it's the inspiration for your next masterpiece.
► 17 April 2015 : No matter how psyched you are about the changes ahead, something could happen that catches you completely off guard now. Although there's nothing to do in preparation for the unexpected, remember that your mind is exaggerating the significance of everything that happens today. Your positive outlook on life motivates others to accomplish more than they think possible. But everyone can make even more progress if you control your tendency of going to the extremes. Finding the sweet spot between optimism and realism empowers you to skillfully navigate the changing landscape, leading the pack all the way.
► 18 April 2015 : Waves of positive energy motivate you to take a chance and creatively express your feelings to someone you like. Although you appear to be lighthearted and even playful, there is more going on than meets the eye as the Aries New Moon forms an otherworldly alignment with mysterious Pluto. Don't be afraid to tap into the potent energies that lurk just beneath the surface. Act now and let fate take its course. Trust the cosmos to lead you exactly where you need to go.
► 19 April 2015 : It's nearly impossible to know what to do today because your friends seem to be sending you mixed messages. Ironically, you are willing to soften your approach in consideration of anyone who sets clear limits, only to have them accuse you of withdrawing when the going gets rough. Unnecessary confusion can get in the way of resolving a misunderstanding if either party makes a hasty assumption. But don't retreat into denial; if there's any doubt about what's been said, check it out. Fortunately, falling back on honest communication enables you to find your way back into the light of truth.
► 20 April 2015 : You're in for a treat today, since you finally get to enjoy the sweet rewards of past efforts. But you might feel as if life is challenging you to stand still and appreciate your current position, even if you are itching to begin something new. Just as you think you have your restlessness under control, a wave of anticipation catches you off guard, reminding you that you aren't quite ready to settle down. Nevertheless, you don't have to be the first one out of the gate; kick back and indulge in life's pleasures before taking off on your next adventure.
► 21 April 2015 : Life seems complicated if people aren't being clear with you. Although you might not know what to make of someone's inconsistent story, you're able to remain detached from the distractions of an emotional drama. In fact, you can conquer nearly any challenge thrown at you today. Handling obstacles that appear in your path requires diligence, but you won't feel depleted now, even if you commit a lot of energy to making your point. Pace yourself and don't quit no matter what happens.
► 22 April 2015 : You realize that practicality will pay off as you reassess your current financial condition. You know what's right, but might not make the smartest decisions about your money today because being responsible sounds boring now, prompting you to look for ways to escape your obligations. However, you don't have the luxury to slip away yet. Stabilizing your fiscal situation won't be as painful as you expect if you just narrow your focus and get down to business.
► 23 April 2015 : Although you try to keep your emotions contained, someone's innocent actions could inadvertently trigger a spontaneous reaction of suppressed anger. Even if you're convinced that everything will turn out well in the long run, you still might forget and lose your temper in an impulsive flash of passion. Blowing off a little steam feels good in the moment, but it won't help you find a lasting solution. Nevertheless, sharing your feelings in a caring manner helps to alleviate the tension and makes the best of an uncomfortable situation.
► 24 April 2015 : You are curious enough today about what motivates you that you are driven to explore your own fears. It's as if a previously closed door begins to open today, allowing you access to uncharted depths in the recesses of your subconscious. Tread cautiously because finding your way in to this normally inaccessible space might be easier than dealing with the skeletons you discover there. Nevertheless, you are empowered by the truth and no longer need to fill in the facts with your own subjective worries. Awareness is power.
► 25 April 2015 : Your creative juices are flowing today and it's up to you to find the medium for expressing them. However, this isn't just a fun distraction; you have big ideas about what you want to accomplish. Although your desires may be tempting you with the possibilities of pleasurable experiences, you'll be happier in the long run if you have something tangible to show at the end of the day. Being productive is an admirable goal as long as you don't lose your connection with the inspiration of your muse in the process.
► 26 April 2015 : You are cruising for excitement but you haven't decided how much to say about your plans for the day. Although you want to steer clear of emotional entanglements, you might not be able to avoid getting hooked by a complicated situation today. Your feelings could change again so don't judge yourself too harshly if you need to backtrack later and make a new strategy. A rational approach helps to keep you free from unnecessary drama, but could prevent you from finding the thrills you seek. Sometimes the pleasure is worth the cost.
► 27 April 2015 : It's prudent to look before you leap while the dramatic Leo Moon amplifies your tendency to act spontaneously. Your sharp instincts usually steer you well, but an irrepressible desire to express your independence might lead you astray today. If a friend or coworker is critical of your shortsightedness, listen to what is being said instead of immediately going on the defense. Gingerly stepping around any argument now could give you the chance to learn a very useful lesson. Taking someone's advice to heart doesn't mean you need to give up on your dreams.
► 28 April 2015 : You are motivated by reasonable objectives today but others may be surprised by your unconventional approach. Unfortunately, you might not realize how big a gulf exists between your intentions and how people interpret your actions. Even if you carefully monitor your behavior, you still could be misunderstood. There's no need to overreact; thoroughly discussing your strategy enables you to communicate your perspective with precision. Including your colleagues in your plans allows everyone to share in your success.
► 29 April 2015 : There's a stack of chores in front of you and you have high hopes of getting everything done today. However, events may not unfold according to your plans due to circumstances that are beyond your control. Don't waste time trying to figure out what went wrong because you might not be able to understand it, even if you have all the facts. Nevertheless, your imagination reigns supreme now. Exploring fantasy realms inspires you to loosen the reins and try a new approach to the work at hand. Trusting your instincts leads to greater productivity.
► 30 April 2015 : You are distracted by one unexpected event after another today, but you handle the apparent chaos well. Although you are comfortable hanging out on the edge of the unknown, you should tread carefully now; you're not as invincible as you might think. Ironically, even if your adrenaline is pumping, you still have a positive effect on others because the current uncertainty is more exciting than being stuck in a rut. Nevertheless, it's wise to calm your nerves with meditation, yoga or physical exercise. You can do even more good if you channel your excess energy into healthy pursuits.

► PEOPLE & BLOG : Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith part 1 AUDIOBOOK FULL FREE ONLINE (Unabridged). Stalin's Soviet Union strives to be a paradise for its workers, providing for all of their needs. One of its fundamental pillars is that its citizens live free from the fear of ordinary crime and criminals.
But in this society, millions do live in fear . . . of the State. Death is a whisper away. The mere suspicion of ideological disloyalty-owning a book from the decadent West, the wrong word at the wrong time-sends millions of innocents into the Gulags or to their executions. Defending the system from its citizens is the MGB, the State Security Force. And no MGB officer is more courageous, conscientious, or idealistic than Leo Demidov.
A war hero with a beautiful wife, Leo lives in relative luxury in Moscow, even providing a decent apartment for his parents. His only ambition has been to serve his country. For this greater good, he has arrested and interrogated.
Then the impossible happens. A different kind of criminal-a murderer-is on the loose, killing at will. At the same time, Leo finds himself demoted and denounced by his enemies, his world turned upside down, and every belief he's ever held shattered. The only way to save his life and the lives of his family is to uncover this criminal. But in a society that is officially paradise, it's a crime against the State to suggest that a murderer-much less a serial killer-is in their midst. Exiled from his home, with only his wife, Raisa, remaining at his side, Leo must confront the vast resources and reach of the MBG to find and stop a criminal that the State won't admit even exists.

► SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY : EXACTO Live-Fire Tests, February 2015. DARPA’s Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance (EXACTO) program, which developed a self-steering bullet to increase hit rates for difficult, long-distance shots, completed in February its most successful round of live-fire tests to date. An experienced shooter using the technology demonstration system repeatedly hit moving and evading targets. Additionally, a novice shooter using the system for the first time hit a moving target. This video shows EXACTO rounds maneuvering in flight to hit targets that are moving and accelerating. EXACTO's specially designed ammunition and real-time optical guidance system help track and direct projectiles to their targets by compensating for weather, wind, target movement and other factors that can impede successful hits.

Even if I am surrounded by people, I'm sure they are more interested in diamonds all over my body than myself. And this is very alarming, where I get myself value is lower than the diamonds value all over my body.
So, that's why -- to me -- diamond is beautiful to gaze at, or to be collected, but not to be worn, ehehehe ... after all, when we play together, I do not want my baby to be disturbed by the use of diamonds in all parts of my body: neck, ears, fingers, wrists, ... my baby's skin will be scratched, ... blah!

Violence is not the way to achieve racial justice, because the act of violence is immoral and useless, which in the end only spoils everything. An old law that says the eyes are replaced with the eyes causes a lot of people become blind. It's only embarrassing the opponent rather than understanding the opponent. Violence is an immoral act because only spreads hatred and destroys the communities. Violence in Baltimore, Ferguson, and anywhere else will not solve any problems, leaving only destruction and hatred.

■ Toddlers prepare for their first big interview ■ 'Embryologic twin' tumour discovered in student's brainThis is nice, but I do not want my little boy to be stressed out because he is required to do what I want, or what they want. The pre-school should be more focused on playing while learning, not on learning while playing.
Create a fresh and pleasant atmosphere for the children, then they will react positively. They do not need to be emphasized in order to achieve certain targets, especially to instill a sense of competition from an early age to them, oh no, I will not do it on purpose to my son. To my little boy, I prefer to instill a sense of sharing with his friends instead of competing. Competition, if not equipped with other strategies, will introduce a sense of "hostility" in the child, while friendship -- to me -- is sweeter than hostility.
And I know for sure, the imperative functions from parents to their children is limited by the age of their children. Today you ask them, "Are you a boy or a girl?" Then they answer as to what you think is true. Woman if you are woman. Man if you are man. Well, everything seems fine, right?
So, now I ask you, what will you say to your self if someday they ask you, "Am I a man or a woman?" Then you see your daughters and sons marry their same-sex friends. Blah! No point in all this early learning. Do you know what are you feeling? When the time comes, do you know that you want to cry in your anger, and you want to be angry in your cries? Then you find a harsh reality : your sweet children since their childhood will make you crazy when they become adults.
I'm afraid. I have a little boy, and I do not like gay, lesbian, transgender and bisexual people. But now I can only hope my son will grow up normally like normality that I always sow into himself since his early age.

During WWI, Armenian people faced a deliberate massacre intended to annihilate their whole nation. An atrocity that inspired Hitler and whose victims are, even to this day, denied justice. It was genocide.

► Has Europe's migration policy capsized? European nations have been accused of putting the lives of thousands of migrants at risk, as unprecedented numbers make the sea crossing from north Africa.It's estimated that more than 10,000 migrants have set off for their preferred destination of Italy in April alone, crammed aboard overcrowded old boats and rafts.On Friday, an Italian coast guard ship docked in Sicily, carrying another 300 migrants, rescued off the coast of Libya. Most were from Somalia, Nigeria and Eritrea, with a small group from Syria.Hundreds of others are reported to have died this week as their boats capsized or ran into difficulties, although there is no accurate figure.The UN said the latest loss of life is "...a human rights tragedy, not a natural tragedy", and one that needs to be addressed through a "…comprehensive human rights-based approach, that is the shared responsibility of all countries."So should the European Union take more responsibility for migrants heading to its shores?Or does there need to be a broader policy to spare migrants from falling into the hands of smugglers? Presenter: Shiulie GhoshGuests :Gauri van Gulik, deputy director for Europe and Central Asia at Amnesty International.Elizabeth Collett, director of the Migration Policy Institute for Europe.Andrea di Nicola, professor of criminology at the University of Trento and co-author of the book, 'Confessions of a People Smuggler'.

Depending on what kind of man who loves what kind of a woman. Ouch, I kind of forgot, ... where did I read this statement? "Falling in love makes the human brain to shrink and eventually humans become stupid." Love can block all ability to think objectively and bury the clarity of rational thinking. Love can make people stupid, because the power of imagination, memory and process of thinking becomes more blunt and undeveloped. Human's right brain wave becomes undirected and difficult to be understood. Love can make worry, anxiety, cause anxiety, binds the mind with pressure, will encourage more damage to brain cells, and automatically interrupt signals in the brain. Mental disorders that focuses on cognitive tasks, as well as on concerns that we would be left by our partner just reduce the resources or energy to process other information. And this result can cause changes in a person's behavior, becomes forgetful person, daydreaming.
Falling in love can change a person's temperament, depending on which part of brain affected by its impact. There are different kinds of temperament: timid, brave, cheerful and moody. People who are in love can be one of the types of temperament or their combination.
Love can also make a number of changes in the locus coeruleus, structure that regulates the brain's secretion for two types of substances called catecholamines, namely: adrenaline and noradrenaline (norepinephrine). These two chemical substances mobilize the body to deal with emergencies. Catecholamine stimulation can cause memories with special powers. Changes in brain circuitry is considered to underlie the behavioral changes such as anxiety, emotional, afraid to be left by partner. If the secretion of catecholamines is not well controlled, then the behavioral changes will be settled, because the locus coeruleus and the amygdala are very closely related, along with other limbic structures such as the hippocampus and hypothalamus. Network circuits for catecholamines extend into the cortex.
So, responding love carefully, with reason, as well as the rational mind.
I'm tired of falling in love. Now I'm anti love, huh? ehehhee .... Seriously. Keep the spirit, cheerful, active in sports, fasting three times a week, and playing with the kids -- to me, now -- are some of the fun things to do than thinking about him, sex, orgasm, shopping, eating delicious food and listen to them gossiping, ... arrggh!I'm fed up with all of it.

Tingtingting.

Ah, I do not sympathize at all. This problem is very made-up. Bruce Jenner deliberately changing his appearance to be a woman, whereas genetically and anatomically he is a normal man, and -- for me -- this is a crazy choice, although his choice has nothing to do with my own life. But if I am asked whether I support a similar problem in any corner of the world, my answer is very clear : of course not!
For me, Bruse Jenner looks like a mentally ill person. What he needs is someone who can strengthen his spiritual, not taking his time to vent to the television interviewer for later the television broadcasts his madness like a gift from God.
Tsk! Oh my God, save our souls. Amen.
