News Headlines (519) 13 October - 26 October 2014




ONLINE TODAY

13 October 2014 : A phone call changes things in a big way for you -- and maybe for someone close to you. It's likelier to be positive than negative, but you may still feel a bit trepidatious at first. You might be overly impressed by your own quick wit today, but others may not be so amused with your sharp tongue. Although you often express what's on your mind in the moment, you could choose to keep more to yourself as the day wears on. Nevertheless, there's no need to withdraw completely; just be discerning when making decisions about your communication throughout the day. If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all.

14 October 2014 : Try not to push those feelings down deeply today -- you need to make sure that you're feeling everything directly! It's a good time to mix it up with friends or family, just to let them know you care. Anything that can go right for you today, will. But you still may have some resistance on your part, for you believe that you shouldn't receive the goodies without putting in the effort. Although you could be coasting and soaking up the recognition, you might feel the need to work like a busy bee now anyway. There's no harm in being ambitious as long as you remember to step back and enjoy the fruits of your labor when you get the chance.

15 October 2014 : You need to find some new way to clear out the emotional cobwebs -- maybe a new exercise regimen, maybe a dance party or maybe a blowout fight (and make up) with your sweetie. Your behavior is confusing to your coworkers because you act like you know the score, but there is more going on here than meets the eye. There's tension brewing and it's not yet clear what your role is in the unfolding drama. Undoubtedly, your imagination is being tickled but your emotions are on edge; you feel restless, even rebellious today. Reality is performing a magic trick; if your attention lapses now, you could miss the action. Keep your eye on the ball and your focus on the game.

16 October 2014 : You need to take a few steps backward today -- though it's not technically a retreat. You may be moving toward home, or basking in nostalgia. Things may get a little weird by the end of the day. Hiding your feelings is not an option today, even if you think what you share could make someone rather uncomfortable. You're not interested in stirring up any conflict now, yet you probably won't let the possibility of discord get in your way. Say what you must, but remember to think twice before you just blurt out something that you wish you had kept to yourself. Waiting for the right moment is worth the extra effort

17 October 2014 : You need adventure -- and today is the perfect time for that! Your amazing personal energy helps you to see the fun side of almost everything, so make sure that you're sharing the vibe! You have an enticing opportunity to spend quality time with people you really like today, but you still need to finish your work before you go traipsing off with your friends. Unfortunately, they can distract you from fulfilling your promises. Thus, it is not a good idea to disrupt your regular routine today. Keep your current dissatisfaction to yourself and mind your responsibilities for now.

18 October 2014 : You need to take bold action! It may not be exactly what you want to do, but you're sure to do well if you can just force yourself to step up and take the bull by the horns. It's easier once you start. You are confident that others will live up to your high expectations today and are quite surprised if they fall short. Your willingness to give someone the benefit of the doubt could backfire unless you maintain objectivity when assessing the facts. Just acknowledge the limitations of available time and resources for all parties involved. Nothing is gained by blowing reality out of proportion. Bigger isn't always better; good things often come in small packages.

19 October 2014 : You need to try something new and healthy -- maybe an exercise regimen or an end to a bad habit. Whatever you decide, you should have an easier time sticking with it. Have confidence! Untangling a misunderstanding with a close friend or partner could be the right thing to do today. Although your first impulse may be to apologize for your role in the current mess, the planetary emphasis on your 7th House of Relationships indicates that both parties share the blame. The Virgo Moon helps you to keep your feelings to yourself until you are fully aware of all the emotional dynamics at play. Luckily, your patience will be rewarded in a surprising way if you don't push ahead too soon.


20 October 2014 : You need to stretch yourself a little and see if you can get things back on track. Your energy is just right for volunteer work or just for doing random good deeds. Rack up some karma! You may be drifting on the winds of fate, yet this can still be quite a memorable day if you relinquish control willingly. There might not be any reason to pretend you're in charge if you're not -- and there are no advantages to working extra hard now just to prove a point. Events don't necessarily unfold as expected; graciously accepting whatever happens next can make your journey more enjoyable from the start. Exercising your sense of humor allows you to see life from a more lighthearted perspective.

21 October 2014 : This is not a good time to openly criticize people or programs, even if they sorely deserve it. Hold on to your thoughts for just one more day and things should make a lot more sense. A radical shift in relationship dynamics might mean that someone finally understands your point of view. But don't assume that your friends will automatically encourage your independent behavior just because they listen to your story. Instead of pushing your luck, be thankful they accept you as you are rather than trying to change you. You won't gain any further advantage if you continue to pull them outside of their current comfort zone. Knowing when to back off is essential to cultivating a harmonious atmosphere for everyone involved.

22 October 2014 : You just need to listen today -- all is clear, really. You may need to slow down and exercise serious patience, but you should be able to get to the bottom of it without undue stress. You have no easy outlet for your passions today, and could grow uncomfortable with the dynamics of the situation. Perhaps the real problem is that you can't express your negative emotions. If you need to let off steam, it's wise to find a less disruptive way to vent your feelings. You must get to the source, however, to discover a permanent solution to the current tension.

23 October 2014 : You've got plenty of charm and goodwill going for you, so make the most of it and try harder than ever to make it work. You don't need to exhaust yourself when you can get others to do the heavy lifting. Ironically, what you say today might not have as much impact as what you don't say. Although the Scorpio New Moon Eclipse rattles your 8th House of Intimacy, it's difficult to ask for your heart's desire. Your emotions may seem detached from your communication unless you make a conscious choice to include them in your story. Don't wait for a better moment; if you take a chance and tell a loved one what you want, you might just get what you need.

24 October 2014 : It's just a little too easy to get aggressive today -- so make sure that you're checking that tendency. It's not likely to get you anywhere, and the short-term satisfaction just doesn't last. You might end up expending precious energy and exhausting yourself for no reason today. Although a friend or lover may seem distant, your current situation ultimately serves you well if you simply learn your lesson. But don't attack someone needlessly just because you're feeling insecure. Admit that you can make mistakes and then proceed with caution the next time around.

25 October 2014 :  Something that others see as small upsets you early today -- and you're almost certainly going to have to deal with it directly, if discreetly. Try to address your feelings first, if possible.You say whatever is on the tip of your tongue today; however, you could step into deep water so quickly that you don't have time to get your bearings. Unfortunately, you may be even more impulsive than ever with your words now that mischievous Mercury moves forward in your 7th House of Relationships. Although you might be tempted to stir up some drama, you're still better off approaching a conversation about your feelings with thoughtful deliberation. Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.

26 October 2014 : Things aren't quite going your way today -- but that's okay! Every now and then, you need to go through some down time in order to let your subconscious mind process all your victories. Domestic chores don't feel so tedious today because they shift your attention away from the complexities of relationships. You might not find a quick fix to messy emotional dynamics that have developed recently. However, a solution is more likely once you take a few steps back and give everyone involved a bit of breathing room. Thankfully, doing mundane projects at home is more than just a distraction; they can be a wonderful way to keep busy and feel good about your accomplishments.

News Headlines (489) 15 April - 17 April 2014




ONLINE TODAY

15 April 2014 : Charm is your best friend today, so make sure that you're thinking it all through before you try to get anything from anyone. Your best bet is to hear them out before making your case. Your world's an orderly, balanced and bright one, and you're doing your part to keep it that way -- putting selfishness aside and enjoying giving just as much as you're delighting in receiving. This generous mood of yours also gives you an extra-sparkly charm factor, which won't go unnoticed by those around you (and may be noticed by one person in particular). Keep the cycle of good energy going, and get the most out of this special day.

16 April 2014 : Things are going on deep within you that you can't understand -- but you don't have to! You're in a really good position to make a difference when it comes to family or other group dynamics. Expect a few ego clashes to slow down your progress today -- and be grateful that time is not a big concern of yours right now. A drama is coming, but it will be a very entertaining one for you -- because you're not going to be a part of it. You get to sit on the sidelines, enjoying the game that other people are playing. It won't be too bloody, but it will be full of low blows and even a shocking revelation or two. Whenever people get together, the social dynamics can get complicated.

17 April 2014 : Your emotions are running the gamut from manically happy to down in the dumps and back again -- it can get exhausting! Try not to worry too much about where the roulette wheel ends up, though.

I'm sure almost all young women, middle-aged women and older women as well all gays will love the pictures of two handsome men above, ... ehhehee ... and no one asks me whether I also like them.  

I will be happy to say, "Mark, I miss you. James, you seem a bit soppy. Your nails stripes look dirty, and it looks like you do not brush your teeth before going to bed ... ahahhaa... oops, one more thing, James, do not need to pose holding a mug that --- maybe --- it is an empty mug, because for me it is a reflection of pretense."  

I really like the giant glass held by Mark. To me, it is a glass of togetherness. Some drinking straws can be dipped into it for later sucked up by some mouths, and how and what's in the glass looks so transparent. Mark also does not disturb a small insect behind his shoulder.

What the heck? I applaud the person who hits my fans? ehehhee, so, will the United States applause for Bashar al-Assad because he has attacked the Syrian rebels, hm? Please do not point with your index finger to Russia, while three of your fingers are pointing to your own face. Do you know what is being said by your thumb when pointing down? Mmm .. I conclude it in philosophical, "That's the ugliness of man on this earth. They like to judge others by making impunity for themselves."

Unfortunately, I am a part of human. I'm telling you, I'm embarrassed if I am associated with human ugliness. I feel an animal's life is more comfortable. Animals are not hypocritical, cunning, greedy, vindictive, and they do not like war.

* 14 April 2014Will Putin Fall Victim to One of History's Classic Blunders? From Napoleon to Bush, there's good precedent on why it's a bad idea for Russia to invade eastern Ukraine. - By David C. Gompert , Hans Binnendijk

* 16 April 2014 : Putin Laughs at Your Sanctions. The United States needs to re-up its Cold War strategy if it wants to deter Russia in Ukraine. - By : Zalmay Khalilzad
Widely believed to be acting at the behest of Moscow, pro-Russian activists have seized government buildings in eastern Ukraine and prompted Kiev to carry out a limited set of military operations in the region. So far, the Ukrainian military has had little success dislodging pro-Russian forces, which for the most part appear unfazed. To bolster the Ukrainian government, the United States has unveiled a package of financial and economic sanctions directed at the Russian military and political establishment. Despite Moscow's vulnerabilities on this front, the threat of further economic retaliation has proven insufficient in deterring Moscow's aggression, as evidenced by the continued destabilization of eastern Ukraine. At the urging of the United States, the Ukrainian military has cautiously probed the positions of pro-Russian militants, while Washington has attempted to strike back at Moscow with financial sanctions. So far, that tactic has failed.

The Obama administration's decision to retaliate against Russia with financial and economic sanctions reflects a broader paradigm shift in U.S. deterrence strategy. Financial warfare is supplanting deterrence based on conventional military capabilities. However, events in Ukraine have exposed the risks of relying too heavily on financial instruments of power. Deterrence requires the United States to make clear that it will support Ukrainian military resistance to any further Russian intervention.

The administration's penchant for economic sanctions is understandable. Success in disrupting terrorist financing networks and in weakening rogue regimes has demonstrated the far-reaching toll that enhanced and fine-tuned sanctions can inflict in an interconnected global economy. At the same time, budget deficits at home and the costs of land wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have prompted policymakers to embrace more deployable, economical instruments. Recent progress with Iran has reinforced Washington's growing preference for financial warfare. Tehran claims that it came to the negotiating table in exchange for U.S. recognition of its right to enrich uranium, but the Obama administration credits crippling sanctions for the breakthrough.

Russia also seems like a good target for economic warfare: It's a sophisticated economic and energy power that depends on access to global financial markets and international financial institutions to advance its geopolitical ambitions. Moreover, U.S. diplomatic efforts since 9/11 aimed at enlisting Russia's cooperation in enforcing international financial sanctions have sensitized President Vladimir Putin, as well as the corrupt elites in his inner circle, to the devastating impact that these policies can have against target regimes. Today, the ruble is in decline, the Russian Micex Index is down more than 10 percent since the beginning of the year, and the World Bank is projecting a contraction in the Russian economy of up to 1.8 percent in 2014 due to geopolitical instability. Yet none of these realities is stopping the Kremlin from fomenting instability and threatening further incursions into Ukraine.

The shortcomings of economic sanctions don't by themselves suggest a need to downplay financial warfare in U.S. doctrine -- or even to enhance conventional capabilities. But they do demand that the United States calibrate its goals so that they match the capabilities it is realistically willing to deploy. The exact mix of financial and conventional military deterrence that must be brought to bear in any situation depends on what is at stake for the United States in the target country, and what is needed to secure important interests.

In the context of the Ukrainian crisis, the extent to which the Obama administration is relying on financial instruments relative to conventional military deterrence is creating an alarming gap between Washington's stated goals and the capabilities it is willing to employ to achieve them. Given Ukraine's proximity to Russia, sizable populations of ethnic Russians, and importance in Moscow's strategic priorities -- not to mention Russia's overwhelming military superiority over its neighbors -- deterring further Russian aggression against non-allied but important states in the post-Soviet space will require more than targeted sanctions.

Repeated assertions by President Barack Obama and other senior administration officials that a new Cold War is not on the horizon, while true at a global level, downplay the degree to which the renewed U.S.-Russian rivalry will resemble U.S.- Soviet competition on a regional scale. Throughout the Cold War, Moscow exerted enormous pressure on states on its periphery, as well as on states in the third world that fell outside the orbit of formal U.S. alliances. The West's victory in the Cold War stemmed, in large part, from Washington's success in deterring Soviet aggression against front-line states without deploying U.S. forces into combat. The United States convinced Stalin to back down in Iran in 1946, freed Austria from partial Soviet occupation in 1955, strengthened Israel's defenses against Soviet-aligned Arab states, and shielded Pakistan during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.

The Cold War formula for defending front-line states involved a mix of political engagement, military sales and cooperation, and economic support through trade agreements and foreign aid. Even with the benefit of new sanctions capabilities, a similar playbook is necessary to prevent further Russian moves against Ukraine and other front-line states such as Georgia, as well as against U.S. partners in the Caucuses and Central Asia.

The greatest political challenge the United States faces in Ukraine is unifying the country's diverse communities. Important elements of the Party of Regions, the party led by ousted President Viktor Yanukovych, and Ukraine's Russian-speaking communities oppose the annexation of Crimea and Putin's heavy-handed intervention in Ukrainian affairs. U.S. and European engagement with these elements could help facilitate political inclusion under a decentralized system of government. A parallel process to integrate Ukraine into Western institutions such as the EU would incentivize cooperation of between the country's various factions.

On the military side, the Obama administration's decision to reject Kiev's initial requests for anti-tank and other weapons was a mistake. Instead, the United States should supply Ukraine with the materiel and training it needs to resist a Russian military intervention, and should persuade its allies to do the same. The White House, however, has calculated that the infusion of arms into Ukraine could escalate the crisis and undermine the prospects of a settlement with Russia. In fact, Moscow is more likely to negotiate if Putin recognizes the costs of pressing Russian claims militarily.

Despite legitimate concerns over its readiness, the Ukrainian military, even in its current state, can make use of more weapons. As Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has assessed, the Ukrainian military needs infantry rifles, a training regimen, and anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons. To determine the precise size of a multi-year package of arms sales and assistance, the Obama administration should send a team to assess the capabilities Ukraine would need to wage a successful insurgency against an invading Russian army.

Finally, Ukraine cannot realize its economic potential without long-term assistance. The initial package of International Monetary Fund and bilateral assistance will allow Ukraine to weather the immediate crisis. A medium- and long-term effort to diversify the country's energy sources, establish a credible economic reform program, and facilitate Ukrainian exports to Western markets, will require sustained Western cooperation with Kiev. Western influence in Ukraine will be contingent on the United States' willingness to compete with Russia's extensive economic influence in the country.

Without this kind of front-line state strategy, non-NATO member states could become victims of Putin's drive for Russian imperial restoration. But if Washington reawakens to the spirit of the Cold War strategy of deterrence, it could set the conditions for a new regional stability. Hardening the new government in Kiev against Russian destabilization, over time, would allow Ukraine to shoulder more of the burden of deterring Russia. And Moscow, in turn, would be more likely to conclude that further aggression against its neighbors is too risky a gamble.

TRAVEL & EVENTS : Titanic Footage & Survivors Interviews. Titanic footage and survivors interviews. On 14 April 1912, on her maiden voyage, the passenger liner RMS Titanic hit an iceberg. More than 1500 men, women and children perished. This is a short television documentary about the sinking of the Titanic, including interviews with survivors talking about their experiences and their escape. Uploaded on Aug 1, 2011 by British Pathé

AUTOS & VEHICLE : The Titanic Rebuild 2016. As a way of drawing attention to one's election campaign, it is -- if nothing else -- unique. Clive Palmer, one of Australia's wealthiest businessmen, has unveiled plans to build a replica of the Titanic, which he hopes will sail from England to New York in 2016. He has also announced he is standing for federal parliament in the seat held by the deputy prime minister and treasurer.

In separate press conferences on Monday, the mining billionaire first surprised the political world by declaring he would be contesting the Labor politician Wayne Swan's seat in parliament. Hours later, Palmer managed to outdo himself by announcing a second shock bid: this time to harness the latest technology and build Titanic II. "It will be every bit as luxurious as the original Titanic but of course it will have state-of-the-art 21st-century technology and the latest navigation and safety systems," he said.

"Thank you for your perception! I like your romantic side, even if I do not always comment and I'm glad that you're in my circle of friends."
(Courtesies by: Wolfgang A. Gerhardt)

Wolfgang A.Gerhardt : May be you like this Sunday collage

Cisca Zarmansyah : Before today, there never was a person doing this to me. You create a simple matter to look special. This is a special thing for me.

Cisca Zarmansyah : Thank you. I love it. I love you, my friend.

CieL- FreYa Ceastle : Hmm, he's so nice...















"I am me.
In all the world,
there is no one else exactly like me.
Everything that comes out of me
is authentically mine,
because I alone chose it --
I own everything about me:
my body,
my feelings,
my mouth,
my voice,
all my actions,
whether they be to others or myself.
I own my fantasies,
my dreams,
my hopes,
my fears.
I own my triumphs and successes,
all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me,
I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing,
I can love me
and be friendly with all my parts.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,
and other aspects that I do not know
-- but as long as I am friendly
and loving to myself,
I can courageously and hopefully
look for solutions
to the puzzles and ways
to find out more about me.
However I look and sound,
whatever I say and do,
and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time
is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked,
sounded,
thought,
and felt
turn out to be unfitting,
I can discard that which is unfitting,
keep the rest,
and invent something new
for that which I discarded.
I can see,
hear,
feel,
think,
say, and do.
I have the tools to survive,
to be close to others,
to be productive,
and to make sense
and order out of the world of people
and things outside of me.
I own me,
and therefore,
I can engineer me.
I am me,
and I am okay."

VIRGINIA SATIR
(American Phychologist and Educator, 1916-1988)
