ONLINE TODAY
► 1 December 2015 : Excitement mounts as you consider every angle of a creative project today. You're eager to get started, but you can't figure out how to organize all your ideas. Your reactions are so swift now that you inadvertently overwhelm others while sharing your plans. Think before you speak because you probably sound more outrageous than you realize. Keep your audience in mind and tailor your delivery accordingly. In fact, it might be smart not to say anything at all. Let your art express your heart.
► 2 December 2015 : You assume all will turn out well, even if the dynamics at work are in a state of flux. Your ability to maintain a positive attitude could be tested today when someone starts to throw shade on your best ideas. Others may even go so far as to accuse you of ignoring the interpersonal complexity of the present moment. Naturally, an optimistic outlook is a healthy one as long as you're not trying to avoid the truth. Leave your ego at the door and address the concerns of others with an open mind and an honest heart.
► 3 December 2015 : You're tempted to inflate every trivial incident into a major event today. You think you are acting in a practical manner, even if you visualize unlimited potential everywhere you go. As mystic William Blake wrote, you can "see infinity in a grain of sand." However, reaching for the Moon doesn't mean that it's within your grasp. Nevertheless, extending yourself beyond your limits creates opportunities that can lead to a more fulfilling life.
► 4 December 2015 : Big ideas at work aren't enough to ensure your success today, because once you make a plan you still have to execute it in a timely manner. Ironically, you must trust your intuition now rather than sticking to the dry facts when circumstances dictate a strategic change. But don't just give up when the going gets tough. Talking about a struggle as it unfolds helps you figure out what to do next as long as you share your story with a trustworthy ally who will tell you the unvarnished truth.
► 5 December 2015 : Your emotions burn hotter today with vulnerable Venus steaming up your 8th House of Intimacy, possibly making you slightly uncomfortable. It's not that you are unwilling to express your feelings; it's just the excessive intensity can overwhelm your agenda and pull you off track. This heart-centered planetary emphasis is signaling you to slow down and sink deeper into the dance. As the scientist Galileo wrote, "Passion is the genesis of genius."
► 6 December 2015 : You are in no mood to be challenged today and may react defensively, even if you are not the target of someone's resistance. A lingering issue could push you dangerously close to an emotional meltdown. You can feel the heat rising from the bottom of the volcano and are driven to express your unresolved issues. Nevertheless, it works in your favor if you make your point in a constructive manner. Being sensitive to everyone else's feelings allows you to deliver your message in a way that is well received.
► 7 December 2015 : You want to squeeze as much out of life now as you possibly can, and are willing to do whatever is necessary to maximize your experiences. Thankfully, your perceptions are razor sharp and you manage your time with great finesse today. But don't waste precious energy talking about your plans. The early bird gets the worm, so figure out which adventure is calling your name the loudest and quickly answer with a resounding yes.
► 8 December 2015 : One too many options today complicate your efforts to decide what to do first. You may be daydreaming about things that you don't normally let yourself imagine. Your nerves are on edge, waiting for the next thrilling experience to land in your lap. Nevertheless, don't attempt to tame this wild energy or you might explode. Find a healthy channel of expression that utilizes your adrenaline, such as physical exertion. Instead of trying to bottle this cosmic electricity for later, run with it for all it's worth.
► 9 December 2015 : Obviously, you know that getting angry for no apparent reason is unproductive. Unfortunately, you can't always prevent your emotions from impacting your life by simply hiding them. Although burying your negativity might postpone a difficult interaction, denial makes matters worse in the long run. In the final analysis, it's best to acknowledge your feelings and bring them out into the open. Keep in mind that your compassionate attitude may be more important than the words you use to share your truth.
► 10 December 2015 : Encouraging someone to take direct action today may be your strategy to avoid initiating responsibility for your own behavior. You might attempt to downplay your power as you struggle with how your desire for independence impacts your need to be loved. An opposition from impulsive Mars to erratic Uranus could even create conflict in an otherwise stable relationship. Keep in mind that your sense of urgency may be greatly exaggerated, possibly leading you to overreact. Fortunately, you can make real progress if you build the future on positive intentions and mutual respect.
► 11 December 2015 : Restlessly spinning your wheels does nothing to soothe your impatience today. You're ready to start a new project even if complications arise before you shift into second gear. The fiery Sagittarius New Moon invigorates your 9th House of Adventure, giving you the green light to go ahead. Unfortunately, demands on your time may prohibit you from making much progress now. Don't misinterpret the situation; a dense fog is not a reason to turn back. Put all your senses on alert and if it's safe, continue driving toward your goals. Confidence is your key to success.
► 12 December 2015 : You're ready to deliver on a recent promise and might be so intent on fulfilling your commitments today that you ignore your friends. Anyone who stands in your path may encounter your wrath, especially if he or she becomes the temporary target of your frustration. Your best move is to deconstruct a large job into smaller tasks that can be accomplished individually. Taking a few baby steps is more reliable now than blindly rushing ahead. Remember, blaming other people is a distraction from the real work at hand.
► 13 December 2015 : You may be annoyed if circumstances don't go your way today, requiring you to jump in and handle an unexpected crisis. Although a twist in the plot isn't normally enough to stop you in your tracks, you are ready to call off the battle now so you can catch your breath. Intuitively, you know there are many ways to measure progress and not all of them matter. Your greatest satisfaction starts with a simple change in your attitude. Let go of your preconceived agenda and embrace the element of surprise.
► 14 December 2015 : You're not in total control of circumstances at work today. You could overcompensate by presenting an optimistic front, but you're not nearly as confident on the inside as you appear on the outside. Becoming more cognizant of your extreme emotions enables you to react with less fear. Although you can think on your feet better than most, it's still wiser to allow extra time for contemplation now rather than responding immediately. If your idea was good at first, it will be even better by tomorrow.
► 15 December 2015 : You may grow weary of all the noise today, for it seems as though everyone has something to say. But it's not the volume of communication that bothers you; the problem is emotional conversations don't seem to move you any closer to your goals. Continuously getting things back on track is exhausting with so many interruptions. Although you naturally assume you don't have time for this level of powerful intensity, you might be in for a sweet surprise. Once you push through your resistance, a wonderful experience could be yours.
► 16 December 2015 : You're eager to hitch your wagon to the nearest star today and simply hope for the best. Although you may grow discouraged, you're not ready to give up on your dreams. You believe good news is just around the next corner just waiting to override your current troubles. However, it's healthier to share your dissatisfaction now, because telling the truth can be the catalyst you need to escape the mundane realms. Shaking everything up might be enough to do the trick.
► 17 December 2015 : Everyone is counting on you to follow through with your end of the deal, but crossing off the tasks on your list is just the start. Jumping through all the hoops isn't going to be enough to prove your devotion today; you must perform your duties with heartfelt conviction. Go the extra mile by showing up and giving it all you got. Raising the bar of excellence demonstrates your intentions more effectively than words ever could.
► 18 December 2015 : Trailing behind the pack isn't your usual style, but today you find odd satisfaction in letting others take the lead. However, the longer you're not first in line, the more restless you grow. The Moon's afternoon shift into your action-packed sign is your cue to reassert your command. Unfortunately, you can come on so strong that you encounter push-back. Focus less on reclaiming the seat of control and put more effort into minding your own business, instead. Others will follow you when they witness your productivity, not when you're racing out in front.
► 19 December 2015 : Your words are packed with so much punch today that the powerful effect they have on people may surprise you. It's difficult to step out of your own shoes to experience how you come across to others, but the truth is you might not like what you would hear. There's no reason to speak condescendingly or to be purposefully abrasive; you can deliver your point without making an enemy. Instead of trying to gain dominance of a situation by exercising your authority, demonstrate your willingness to meet others halfway. Compromise is your friend, whether you like it or not.
► 20 December 2015 : Sharing the details of your busy calendar with family and friends may be necessary to keep everything running smoothly today, but you don't have to over-explain your every move. Others are already experiencing information overload and they don't need you to add more noise to the existing mix. Instead of justifying your plans to everyone else now, channel your energy into managing your own time in a constructive manner. Creating a more peaceful existence also has a calming effect on those around you. Find your center and don't stray too far from there.
► 21 December 2015 : You're not in the mood to suffer fools gladly today, since you are committed to a specific agenda at work and are unlikely to be stopped. Although contemplating your life's purpose has been a valuable detour, you're ready to shift gears and refocus on the present. Obviously, reconsidering your long-term goals can directly impact your trajectory. Nevertheless, even a minor crisis could instantaneously change everything while you balance your panoramic view of the distant horizon with whatever is on your plate. Don't let your career ambitions drown out the sweetness of the current moment.
► 22 December 2015 : A natural lack of patience is often your undoing but, fortunately, you have the good sense to check your impulses today. You can hear sweet times calling you to escape from your duties, but you're unprepared to face the harsh consequences of unmet obligations. The most intelligent strategy starts with setting a rhythm that won't wear you out before you're done. A steady work pace enables you to reach your goals, so you can surf the fresh wave of energy blowing into your life later this evening.
► 23 December 2015 : You might quickly work yourself into an emotional frenzy today by following one captivating distraction after another. In a perfect world, you could flit from task to task without completing anything you start. But don't be surprised if your boss demands that you finish one project before you head off to the next. In spite of your natural tendencies, you can do things right the first time around by exercising a little self-discipline. Act in a responsible manner and no one will have a valid reason to question your intentions or criticize your work.
► 24 December 2015 : Your day starts off quietly enough, but the pace picks up quickly and you can't help but enjoy the buzz. Nearly all the possibilities seem enticing and so many thoughts are racing through your mind now that it's tricky to discern which ones are actually worth pursuing. It's fantastic when you feel this level of enthusiasm, but make sure to finish your work before you rush out the door in search of fun and frivolity. Pride in your accomplishments is a gift you can give yourself.
► 25 December 2015 : Your entire life path seems up for grabs today. The Cancer Full Moon brightens your 4th House of Home and Family, causing you to wonder how to balance your domesticity with your place in the world. You're trying to figure out how much emotional safety you need before you attempt to reach your goals. Asking important questions now can propel you into action. Although others might see you as acting too aggressively, do whatever it takes to get back on track. Using your powers of concentration empowers you to thrive in a situation that anyone else would call unwinnable.
► 26 December 2015 : Jumpstarting a project may be a bigger challenge than you expected today, especially if you previously postponed similar creative tasks. You might even feel as if you hesitated too long, however, there is nothing to be gained by beating yourself up. Be satisfied with whatever you accomplish now, even if it is less than you promised. You can make up for lost time tomorrow once your key planet, Mars, is freed from the grips of Saturn. No one can fault you if you're doing your best.
► 27 December 2015 : You are raring to go now and you're eager to tell everyone about your upcoming creative projects while the Moon is kicking up her heels in your 5th House of Self-Expression. However, instead of receiving the applause you expect today, your plans may fall on deaf ears. An unappreciative audience could send you back to the drawing board, requiring you to rethink your big ideas. But don't view this delay as a defeat: use it as opportunity to improve your chances for success by getting your facts in order in advance.
► 28 December 2015 : You could have such idealistic expectations today that nothing in the real world will satisfy your ambitions. Fortunately, your fate is in your own hands now because you can change the game by changing your mind about what you want. You don't have to settle for anything less if you simply re-frame your ideas of what makes you happy. Touching people with your generous heart is more meaningful than making sure everything goes exactly as planned. Giving the gift of love will be sufficient to add magic back into your life.
► 29 December 2015 : You don't have much of an opportunity to rest today if you left too many tasks undone. Nothing is to be gained by worrying about the outcome; instead, just get busy with your chores right away. But even if you don't have any pressing obligations, you might still be too serious to enjoy yourself now. Thankfully, you will have plenty of time to play later on. The math is simple; the sooner you get started with what's on your plate, the more likely you are to finish.
► 30 December 2015 : There may be danger ahead if everything appears to glisten in the sunlight. Nevertheless, it's still wiser to imagine the positive possibilities instead of focusing on the negative. Affirmations are extremely potent today, yet acknowledging what could go wrong enables you to recognize a problem before it becomes critical. Addressing the weakest part of your plan does not have to turn you into a pessimist. Create your future with every word you utter and every action you take.
► 31 December 2015 : Although you might not do anything special today, you will likely be thinking of the biggest and baddest party ever. Your visions can take you anywhere today as irrepressible Uranus excites Venus in your 9th House Infinite Possibilities. But you may be able to satisfy your restlessness easier than you realize, so don't risk everything trying to make your dreams come true yet. Knowing when to turn a fantasy into reality can make the difference between disappointment and happiness. You could be shocked to discover that joy is closer than you think.

So why she does not like Islam, while she is not introspective that her cigarette smoke disturbing the Muslims?

Hmm, maybe he looks good. Paul Ryan. Well, but, because now is the era in which the beard is no longer a symbol of masculinity (because now I often I feel fooled by the fact that there is no difference between him and her), then the most spontaneous question I want to ask when I see a bearded man is, "Are you being gay?"
You look so sexy and manly, and because I feel I am beautiful and love mystery, maybe we can have a word other than having sex, for example : sacrifice, solidarity, consentaneous, agreements, etc, etc. But, ops! Arghh, why all your admirers are the men? At least, I think they are men. But what can I say if they do not feel they are men? And you also seem happy to be admired by men. Auw! It is very offensive to my femininity, you know?
Finally I will get used to assess the virility of a man by his internal factors, not only from his cool appearance. No matter how cool a man is, but if he is gay, then -- for me -- he's not a man.

And I do not blame one of us if one day later my partner will leave me. Not because of duty or personal purposes, but because -- maybe -- he will feel very tired, tired of the uncertainty, though, many times I try to convince him that this uncertainty is a certainty as well. Shananana. Nanana. Well, and I feel he will go out of my life forever, when we are both still alive. Ah, this is also a frightening condition. But I also do not want to die just to get away from this fear. I also do not want to get married just because I'm afraid to be left by him. I just want him to be with me forever.
Forgive me. Forgive me.Sometimes, I feel it's better to live alone with my baby.

► ENTERTAINMENT : The Legend of Tarzan - Official Teaser Trailer [HD]. From Warner Bros. Pictures and Village Roadshow Pictures comes the action adventure "The Legend of Tarzan", starring Alexander Skarsgård (HBO's "True Blood") as the legendary character created by Edgar Rice Burroughs.
The film also stars Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson ("Pulp Fiction", the "Captain America" films), Margot Robbie ("The Wolf of Wall Street"), Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou ("Blood Diamond", "Gladiator"), Oscar nominee John Hurt ("The Elephant Man", the "Harry Potter" films), with Oscar winner Jim Broadbent ( "Iris"), and two-time Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz ("Inglourious Basterds", "Django Unchained").

Now, he has been invited back to the Congo to serve as a trade emissary of Parliament, unaware that he is a pawn in a deadly convergence of greed and revenge, masterminded by the Belgian, Captain Leon Rom (Waltz). But those behind the murderous plot have no idea what they are about to unleash.
David Yates (the final four "Harry Potter" films, upcoming "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them") directed "The Legend of Tarzan" from a screenplay by Adam Cozad and Craig Brewer, story by Brewer and Cozad based on the Tarzan stories created by Burroughs. Legendary producer Jerry Weintraub ("Behind the Candelabra", the "Ocean's" trilogy) produced the film, together with David Barron (the "Harry Potter" films,& "Cinderella"), Alan Riche ("Southpaw" and Tony Ludwig ("Starsky & Hutch"). Susan Ekins, Nikolas Korda, Keith Goldberg, David Yates, Mike Richardson and Bruce Berman served as executive producers.
The behind-the-scenes creative team included director of photography Henry Braham ("The Golden Compass"), Oscar-winning production designer Stuart Craig ("Dangerous Liaisons", "The English Patient", the "Harry Potter" films), editor Mark Day ("Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Parts 1 & 2"), and Oscar-nominated costume designer Ruth Myers ("Emma", "Unknown").
"The Legend of Tarzan" was shot at Warner Bros. Studios, Leavesden, as well as on location around the UK.
A Jerry Weintraub production, "The Legend of Tarzan" is slated for release on July 1, 2016. The film will be distributed in 2D and 3D in select theatres and IMAX by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company, and in select territories by Village Roadshow Pictures. Published on Dec 9, 2015 by Warner Bros. Pictures

It is just polite style of a Russian. But I'm sure Putin is thinking deeply about Trump, especially as he already knows Trump's stance to Assad's government and Iran.

Haiya .... look! Read Donald Trump's expression carefully. Look at his face! Listen to his tone of voice! Feel his expression! Everytime he opens his mouth to speak, see the muscles of his mouth. So ugly, and too real, that he's just a big mouth. Donald Trump is not a statesman. He does not have the quality of being president of the United States. He is just like a lower-class loudmouth.

Based on comparisons between the images above, then we have to learn how to open our mouths so that we do not look like a wild animal, right? Remember, our tongue is our tiger. It can kill us. So, be careful when giving a statement.
Mr. Trump, you do not have the charisma of a president. You are a businessman. Priority in your brain is merely profit and profit. I'm afraid you're going to sell any US assets just to make profit, who knows?

► High crimes and media misdemeanors - The Listening Post (Full). On November 24, a Russian fighter jet was shot down by Turkish forces. This much we know. But beyond that - the facts are slippery, the coverage compromised and the narratives politically loaded.Ankara says the jet violated Turkish airspace, whereas Moscow insists that Turkey shot down its plane over Syrian territory. The messages, which present very different versions of the facts, have since been amplified in the media of both countries.For both Vladimir Putin, and Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Syrian conflict is a geopolitical minefield which is why both nations are determined to control what is being said over the airwaves.Strong on propaganda, less so on independent journalism, this is a story in which challenging the official line is risky business. Talking us through the story are: Behlul Ozkan, a columnist at Birgun newspaper, Olga Khvostunova, a political analyst at the Institute of Modern Russia; Nina Ognianova from the Committee to Protect Journalists; and Ekaterina Chulkovskaya, a reporter at Russia Beyond The Headlines. Other media stories on our radar this week: Another freelance journalist critical of the government is detained in Egypt, charged with spreading false news. Britain's The Sun newspaper is refusing to apologise for a story that its sister paper The Times has backed down on; and for the second time in three months the front page of The International New York Times printed in Thailand has been left blank for political reasons. Hunting 'tigers and flies'Three years ago, China's President Xi Jinping launched an aggressive anti-graft campaign, vowing to crackdown on what his government called 'tigers and flies'.Targeting both high and low-level officials, thousands of people have been arrested and convicted on corruption charges. While some have welcomed the campaign, there have been growing concerns over how it is being carried out. Journalists have also been subject to arrest - with reporters ranging from the state-run CCTV channels to well-known business news websites being detained under the orders of the Communist Party.The Listening Post's Meenakshi Ravi reports on the anti-corruption drive that critics say lacks its own transparency.To close the show this week - in China, internet users with a political bent can find themselves in a constant game of cat and mouse with the authorities. To get around the censors, they have adopted all kinds of code words, pictures and homonyms - words that sound the same but are spelled differently - so they don't show up in searches.When discussing a taboo topic like the anniversary of Tiananmen Square - June 4th 1989 - they'll use coded references to try to stay one step ahead of the censors.We work with an animator who has put together a collection of some of the more imaginative examples of the way Chinese web users mask their political work online.

► Rebel Geeks - Give Us Back Our Data. Technology researcher and thinker Evgeny Morozov believes the entire discussion around cool, new innovative technology is a giant distraction from the most important issues. In this film, Morozov unravels the digital landscape and shows us the real processes that are leading the huge transfer of power away from ordinary people. We meet him in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he is researching the digital history of the world. Morozov shows us how cutting-edge biometric and facial recognition technology leads to a world without privacy. He argues that instant identification leads to over-discrimination.
Morozov views data as a "new powerful weapon". "It plays an important role in generating value for those companies and we have to understand where it comes from. And it comes from us - the users," he says. "One has to be very naive to believe that this data is not going to shape how we live the rest of our lives, especially when insurance companies and banks are so eager to incorporate it in their decision-making," says Morozov. "Unless we change the legal status of data, we're not going to get very far."
We also look at the reality of the so-called "sharing economy", where people pool their assets, such as houses or, cars and their time and labour. Is this really as friendly as the word "sharing" might imply or just another business? We meet the lawyer representing Uber taxi drivers in a nationwide law suit against the company. The drivers have found the "flexible working" conditions are so detrimental to their business that they've now had to fight against the company for their basic employment rights. We also see how self-trackers who use health-focused technology like Fitbit end up handing over large amounts of their data. But what does it mean when people begin monitoring everything about themselves? We examine the broader consequences for everyone. With data-harvesting companies collecting our social and financial information and selling it on to other companies, we head to a start-up in New York that is encouraging individuals to reclaim control of their personal data.
Yet, as Morozov argues, this is another way in which the poor and disenfranchised are marginalised even more. And such start-ups mask this exclusion. "What you hear from start-ups on this matter is that - it's a political decision, it's not up to us. We're here just to empower people," Morozov says.

► Inside Story - National Front's reversal of fortunes. Just a week earlier, the party leader, Marine Le Pen, had been celebrating a stunning victory in the first round of the vote. The National Front had emerged as the front-runner in almost half of the country's 13 regions. But in Sunday's second round all that vanished. The right-wing party failed to secure control of any single region. Le Pen herself did not manage to keep her seat. Yet Le Pen was defiant, pointing out that the National Front is now the main opposition force in most regions. So will the far-right group bounce back from this disappointment? And what happened last week to cause such a poor showing?
