A day to discover your highest self in love!
Your daily LOVE horoscope is in, astrology lovers!
This is a grand opportunity for relationships and for lovers to rise above their personality conflicts and really learn how to unconditionally love one another.
Today we have the Moon in emotional and moody Cancer square with the Libra Sun, but that's not all.
Pluto in Capricorn is Square with Cancer while the Sun in Libra is Square with Uranus in Aries.
This means there are forces at odds with each other but this also allows for each zodiac sign to learn how to be more aware, more caring, and more honest about their own needs.
In relationships, especially when you live together and have moved beyond trying to be nice and make a good impression (past the first date), the real you starts to come out.
The relationship starts to take on a new form and there are obstacles that get in the way, too. There's work. There are social obligations.
There's the need for self-expression and personal time in reflection. Sometimes there are fitness goals and a part that misses being single.
This is the energy that today brings into relationships. The push and pull between polarities in life that require compromise with transparency.
Some zodiac signs will discover just how solid their relationship is and gain a new respect and admiration for their partner.
Other star signs will realize that they don't have what they thought that they did in their love life but want to make changes so things improve.
A few of signs of the zodiac will come to grips with the fact that you can't change someone no matter how hard you try, so you just have to learn to accept others as they are.

"The Belle of New York"
[drawings for place cards; guest list, 1908]
In 1908, Clemens's good friend the writer Kate Douglas Wiggin chided him for entertaining his male friends at stag luncheons. Wiggin argued that "brilliance is not limited to the stags—give a doe-luncheon & you will see." "And she was right," Clemens conceded.
The first "doe-luncheon" on 14 January 1908 was a great success. "I was the only lady of my sex present," Clemens reported modestly. He entertained himself by creating hand-drawn place cards for his guests, some of which are shown here. He quickly organized a second lunch for 11 February: the tentative guest list, largely in Clemens's hand with his secretary's additions, is shown here.
It included the young actress Ethel Barrymore and a guest listed only as "Fluffy," who has been identified, courtesy of Peter Hanff, Deputy Director of The Bancroft Library, as Frances Hodgson Burnett, author of the beloved children's classics

PORT OF SPAIN – The Police Service of Trinidad and Tobago today issued an alert to citizens regarding con artists using cellphones and classified advertising in newspapers to trick citizens into handing over money or personal banking information. In a police statement Trindadians were advised to disregard text messages via the cellphone "advising that you have won a grand sum of money and advance is being requested to process your winnings".
As well, citizens were told to ignore messages via "your person email account, where the sender would in most instances describe themselves as a close friend of a relative and that they are stranded in a foreign country and need cash to purchase a return ticket".
Nor, the police statement said, should cellphone owners acknowledge any "mail indicating that you have won a lottery".
Thet were also advised not to disclose any personal information: name and address and personal banking information, if the sender of the request was not known to them personally, disregard all such calls and request, and as well to desist from sending "cash to the requesting party".
The police bulletin also asked the general public "to exercise due diligence with regard to advertisements which may appear in the classified ads of the print media in respect to easy loan facilities".
It said the offer of motor vehicle loans "may appear as Easy Loans/Swift Loan . . . . Such advertisements tend to solicit the unsuspecting public to make small down payments" for their processing.
"The applicant would normally be advised that the loan would be approved within seven working days," the police said, but "when the applicant returns to the place of business, the entity is no longer in existence and cannot be located".
There is also property fraud, "a relatively new and unique form of deception".
"The vendor in this instance 'assumes' the identity of the bona fide property owner and prepares 'official' identity in the name of the bona fide owners, and proceeds to advertise the property for sale via the classified ads. Where such transactions are being contemplated, you are advised to have your down payment held in escrow, whilst the bona fides of the 'vendors' are being verified for authenticity.
"Upon complete satisfaction that the person who presents his/herself as the legitimate owner of the property (free from all encumbrances), then the legal process can take place with regard to the transaction. Under no circumstance you are to make a down payment to any property unless you are fully satisfied that the vendor is who he/she represents him/herself to be and is duly authorized to sell such property." (Trinidad Express)

Large volumes of excavated rock are produced as a result of road and railway tunnel construction in Hokkaido, Japan. Due to the geological condition of this region, these rocks have often undergone hydrothermal alterations, causing them to contain elevated amounts of hazardous elements including arsenic (As). Therefore, these excavated rocks are potentially hazardous waste, and proper disposal methods are required. In this article, performance of unsaturated river sediment on immobilizing As from hydrothermally altered rock is evaluated using laboratory column experiments and Hydrus-1D. The results reveal that the river sediment significantly reduces As migration. Arsenic retarded by river sediment was observed in three patterns. The first was an adsorption onto minerals originally contained in the river sediment. The next pattern was a combination of reduction of As generation by oxidation of As bearing-minerals, irreversible adsorption, and adsorption onto newly precipitated Fe oxy-hydroxide/oxide. The last pattern led to a further depletion of As leached from the rock layer due to a shift in the majority of the As generation mechanism from dissolution to oxidation in combination with a low concentration of oxygen in the rock layer. These patterns were satisfactorily evaluated by a Hydrus-1D model with reversible and irreversible adsorptions. The information from this work is effective in designing and establishing a reasonable technique for the disposal of hydrothermally altered rocks.

Colleges and universities often have non-discrimination policies that require officially recognized student groups to allow any student to join, participate in, and seek leadership in those groups. These policies ensure that public colleges and universities do not subsidize discrimination with tax dollars and tuition fees.
In a 2010 case, Christian Legal Society v. Martinez, the Supreme Court upheld one of these policies against claims that it violated the constitutional rights of a Christian student club.
In response to this case, state legislatures have considered bills that would forbid public colleges and universities from enforcing these kinds of non-discrimination policies or create special exemptions just for religious clubs. We oppose these efforts because they force state schools to sanction and subsidize discrimination.

Talking Points
Here's what you should know about why it's important to oppose bills to allow religious student groups to discriminate.

All forgotten projects have a hidden potential which "online archeology" tries to find. Rejections by laziness or other limits are creativity seeds which inspire better creations on the long run. Those gems can be shown to the world by reviewing shows or revivals with other goals in mind.
Authors who don't have enough courage to developing their projects abandon them ignoring a potential audience. Which for them is rubbish, can earn fans in reviews, tops or movesets for how unique they are. Even Ensemble Darkhorses from popular media suffer from less attention by the creators than the viewers.
Since not every project can be successful, involuntary comedy plays an important part of making memes and jokes. Some of those inspire spin-offs more known by the public than the original creations. For example, a running gag in Juanfisi's fandom is a secondary team based on other animators, who are more active producers than the primary group on the show.
Necromancing characters for the good
Long story short, characters can be recycled because spriters are the type of creator who finishes their projects the least. Characters free for adoption give new chances of receiving an audience after catching the appropriate tone. One job as an administrator of the Audiovisual Creation Group is identifying those missed opportunities when they seem to be interesting and thinking on second chances to motivate more active members.
The most extreme case of transcending from a media and style to another in the Audiovisual Creation Group is the in-joke Rakzol. He was meant to have a secondary role in Mystery World, then the protagonist of his own series, cameos as a joke character in animated special and now it's a parody of himself and that type of characters in Console War.
Previous creators and influences have to be analyzed not to repeat the same mistakes as them, which newcomers should do more often. Finding a circle of related producers lets inspiration rise and collaborations for bigger and better projects each time. That type of feedback is always positive influence as long as it doesn't turn into ripping-off.

Manchester City January transfer news LIVE: Sterling set for new £250,000-a-week deal
SIGN UP to watch select UEFA Champions League matches on DAZN
Sterling set for new £250,000-a-week deal
Raheem Sterling is in line for a new Manchester City contract worth in excess of £250,000 a week, reports The Guardian.
Sterling's current deals expires in 2020 and he earns a basic £170,000 a week, with City keen to reward the England international with a bumper new deal.
The total package is likely to land Sterling a sizeable increase, with City keen to start talks over a new deal for the winger in February.
Man Utd ask for Evans updates
Manchester United have been asked to be kept updated on former defender Jonny Evans' situation at West Brom, reports The Times.
Manchester City have held talks over a deal for Evans, while Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has suggested his club will struggle to compete with the Premier League leaders for the centre-half.
Evans, who left Old Trafford for West Brom in 2015, remains of interest for his old club, while Everton and West Ham are also watching matters.
Has De Bruyne dropped Alexis hint?
Kevin De Bruyne may have accidentally revealed that Alexis Sanchez will leave Arsenal for Manchester City.
Goal reported on Sunday that City hope to sign the Chilean in the January transfer window and are in on-going negotiations with Arsenal, with all three parties keen to find a resolution.
And De Bruyne may have suggested a deal is all but done when he was asked about the possibility of Alexis moving to City this month, saying: "When he comes he will add something to the team."
Alexis to start vs Chelsea
Despite intense speculation surrounding a potential move to Manchester City, Alexis Sanchez will start Wednesday night's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg at Chelsea, reports The Guardian.
City have submitted a £20m offer to Arsenal for Alexis, whose contract with the Gunners expires at the end of this season.
Pep Guardiola's side are confident of landing Alexis for free in the summer but with Gabriel Jesus out for two months with an injury, City are hoping to acquire the Chile international in January.
City keeping tabs on Maguire
Manchester City are interested in Leicester City centre-back Harry Maguire but do not consider him a January target, according to Sky Sports News .
Maguire joined Leicester from Hull in the summer for £17 million, but City may have to shell out £50m in the summer to land the 24-year-old.
The Premier League leaders are targeting West Brom's Jonny Evans or Real Sociedad's Inigo Martinez to reinforce their defensive options in January.
Arsenal join Liverpool & City in Pavon chase
Arsenal have joined Liverpool and Man City in the chase for Boca Juniors forward Cristian Pavon, reports the Daily Mail.
The 21-year-old striker has turned heads with his performances for the Argentine giants, and has been compared to Alexis Sanchez.
Pavon is said to have a £27 million release clause, and is likely to be named in Jorge Sampaoli's Argentina squad for the World Cup in Russia.
Man City to clinch Alexis this week
Alexis Sanchez's move from Arsenal to Manchester City could be completed as early as this week, claims the Express .
City have refloated their interest for Pep Guardiola's former Barca charge in January, with the two clubs entering talks.
The Premier League leaders want the deal done as soon as possible, and hope to land Alexis in a move worth around £30 million
Arsenal to use Debuchy in Evans deal?
Arsenal could send Mathieu Debuchy to West Brom as part of a deal to sign Jonny Evans, according to the Evening Standard .
The Gunners reportedly have yet to meet West Brom's £25 million valuation for Evans, with Manchester City also interested in the centre-back. But the inclusion of Debuchy could sway the Baggies, who are keen to add the right-back.

Anonymous: Part interactive sculpture and part social experiment. Anonymous can be custom built to be site specific for indoor or outside spaces.
This past school year has been an incredible ride. I have observed how persistent work in building vulnerable trust with colleagues, families, and students has contributed immensely to fostering our student-centered culture. I am extremely grateful for these collaborative opportunities. Although this school year is coming to a close, the work doesn't end. I look forward to extending my constructive creative forces out into the greater community.
This summer I will be collaborating with Chris Schneider to build "Anonymous", a public interactive sculpture; part sculpture, part social experiment that will be installed at Vandenburg Center, in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids during ArtPrize Nine. "We wanted to find a way to communicate with people so that you could be somewhat anonymous but also present, the person you're talking to is there," said Schneider. "Ultimately we're looking at what ArtPrize does successfully -- making it accessible to the public, inviting everyone to come in and participate -- and building on that."
It is an honor to be selected as the Pitch Night Detroit winners and to represent Detroit at ArtPrize. On behalf of Chris Schneider and myself, I would like to thank you all for your support. Thank you to the Pitch Night organization, and to it's generous sponsors; 21c Museum Hotels and Delta Air Lines, and underwritten by Experience Grand Rapids, with support from the Knight Foundation.

My Little Ball Buster
posted Wednesday July 2nd, 2008
Sophie's in full-on ball buster mode. Has been since she woke up yesterday morning, which is unfortunate, since she had a 2-hour appointment with the psychologist yesterday to continue some testing we started last month to make sure she's getting the right services.
I can tell you this: She didn't score high in the behavior category, if there is one. At one point, she climbed up behind the psychologist's desk, grabbed a back issue of New York magazine and started paging through, laughing like crazy. (Knowing she was driving me crazy.)
Then last night we swam with the fabulous Ms. X, kindergarten teacher, who got a taste of her own near future when Sophie refused to leave the party. Everyone insisted it was cute; it terrified me.
Sophie even acted up this morning, in front of Ms. Janice, the lead singer of the rock star teacher line-up, the one who swears in two years she never witnessed the kind of behavior performed today at the breakfast table. Sophie's taken to making this snorting noise and bumping her head into my chest, when she's annoyed with me, which is often. She stood up in the booth, showed us her chewed up bacon, and refused to behave til her stuffed dog told her to. (A trick I've been employing constantly, it seems.)
We did all laugh when I handed Sophie her orange juice. She immediately took a big drink, her tongue sticking right out beneath the straw (a Down syndrome problem, that tongue — too big for a small mouth, combined with low muscle tone).
"Sophie, put your tongue in!" I said.
She stuck it out further.
"Sophie, put your tongue in," Ms. Janice said, in perfect pre-school speak.
The tongue went back in.
It'll be back out, I'm sure, when I see Sophie tonight. I just wonder how she's faring with GaGa; they left breakfast for the mall.

Located in the heart of the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area, the city of Kent is often overshadowed by its two larger sibling towns. Indeed, it is smack-dab in the middle of Tacoma and Seattle, which are 19 miles south and north, respectively. However, Kent is the sixth largest city in the entire state of Washington and is growing fast.
Fall Color Road Trip in Washington State
Washington state is home to some of the best natural displays of fall color in the world. Around mid to late October, the trees begin to turn vivid shades of yellow, orange, and red. It's a photographer's paradise! While there are many places to see fall color around downtown Seattle, you can also take a day trip and see even more impressive displays of fall foliage. A few weekends ago, we took a road trip to Olympia to see their autumn trees. This past weekend, we decided to go east toward Wenatchee to see the fall colors of the mountains. Our route started in Seattle and followed Highway 2 out to Index, past Steven's Pass, and on to Leavenworth. Along the way, there were plenty of places to stop and admire the beauty, particularly at the Tumwater Dam. We then continued on to Peshastin, taking small country roads through the many apple and pear orchards and grape vineyards. On a whim, we stopped by Wedge Mountain Winery to taste some wine. We ended up taking home a bottle of their delicious 2014 Estate Lemberger wine (highly recommend!) and were delighted when owners were kind enough to let us explore their apple orchard and even take a bag of freshly picked fruits home with us. From Peshastin, we went a bit further to Dryden before heading back to Seattle via Highway 2.
We snapped many photos along the way and even created a video of our trip. Check out the photos and video below, and see our whole driving route.

Fall Colors in Washington
Eastern Washington and Bend, Oregon
Ever since Martin and I purchased our new car in May, we had been dying to break it in on a proper road trip. Our shiny Subaru Impreza Sport was the first brand new car that either of us had ever owned, and we were stoked to take it out on the road. With this in mind, we began devising plans for our annual 4th of July trip. Instead of heading out of state, we decided to stick (somewhat) closer to home and explore more of Washington. After pouring over Google Maps one evening, Martin devised the perfect route. Over the course of 4 days, we would take our new car into uncharted territory for all of us by hitting up Tri-Cities in eastern Washington, and Bend, Oregon. What followed was a pleasantly relaxing trip around the Pacific Northwest.
Travel Mission: Explore the Tri-Cities of Washington and Bend, Oregon.
Our Trip By the Numbers
- 4 Days
- 800 Miles driven
- $350 Cost per person
- 16.39 Miles walked
- 50,594 Steps Walked
Many First Times
This trip was full of first times for both of us. We were thankful to have two cameras with us to document these moments. Half of our photos were taken with a Canon 6D camera, and the other half with the Olympus Tough, which was great for taking jet skiing and inner tubing.
The Pacific Northwest had been experiencing a freak heat wave and early summer, with temperatures in Seattle creeping up to and even slightly surpassing 100 degrees Fahrenheit. And this was all prior to July, in a coastal city. Thus, we were expecting record heat when we headed inland, and yet the 100+ degree heat hit us like none other.
Our first day and a half in Tri-Cities saw sweltering temperatures at 110 degrees. It was pretty much inevitable that we would end up touching the chilly, refreshing Columbia River. But I not only wanted to jump into the water, I wanted to jet ski for the first time. Luckily, we found an affordable, friendly local business conducting jet ski rentals at the river's bank, and thus Martin and I ended up jet skiing together, pushing our poor machine its limit of 60mph.
A summary of our first times:
- visiting Tri-Cities and Bend
- experiencing 110-degree heat
- riding on a jet ski
- inner tubing down a river
- touching the Columbia and Deschutes Rivers
Tri-Cities, Washington
Our trip began bright and early Friday morning when we drove directly east to the Tri-Cities. A mid-sized metropolitan area east of Seattle, Tri-Cities encompasses the three cities of Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland. All in all, the Tri-Cities make up the fourth-largest metropolitan area of Washington. Tri-Cities have been getting national recognition lately for being among the top 10 best places to raise a family, as well as one of the areas for the best gains in housing value. Thus, Martin and I were curious to visit this part of the state that neither of us had ventured to.
We used Airbnb to find lodging, staying overnight in a guest room on the lower level of what looked like a nearly brand new 4+ bedroom house in West Richland. Seeing this new house from the inside as well as exploring the virtually brand new neighborhood it was located in made it apparent as to why this area appeared to be a middle-class American mecca.
It was ultra suburban, yet still on the newer side, with warmer, less rainy weather than Seattle, as well as decently priced homes. Young families could afford the "American dream" style middle-class houses that at the time seem so out of reach in other parts of the country. Overall, we really enjoyed the Tri-Cities, yet were sad to not be able to fully experience some of its outdoor activities due to extreme heat.
Falling Head Over Heels in Bend
After leaving the Tri-Cities, we made a beeline for Bend, Oregon. Sadly, many of our desires to indulge in outdoor activities were again squashed by the heat. Staying in an immaculately Southeast Asian designed cabin not far from Sunriver Resort, we fell fast and hard for Bend. As the largest city in Central Oregon, Bend has become a paradise for young adults and lovers of outdoor activities and sports such as fishing, hiking, camping, rock climbing, rafting, skiing, and more. It also has a strong microbrew industry and affordable housing market, making it more than obvious why so many college students and young Millennials flock to Bend.
Despite the fact that we hauled our bicycles to Bend to take advantage of its many biking trails, we never rode once due to heat. Instead, we opted for a "lazy" experience of inner tubing down part of the Deschutes River. We quickly discovered that when it's windy, inner tubing can be hard work.
Smith Rock
Ask any rock climber in the Pacific Northwest where the best place is to go climbing, and Smith Rock is bound to come up. Towards the end of our trip, we took a detour to Smith Rock to finally see the popular national park in person. Pro tip: hike up the Misery Ridge trail to get some epic panoramas. The climb is steep, but the views are breathtaking and the path isn't terribly long.
In Conclusion
Our 4th of July weekend was the perfect opportunity to explore parts of the Pacific Northwest for the first time. We plan to return, perhaps during the winter to experience a whole other world.
Check out some photos from our adventures below.

Turkey holds prosecutors over spy agency's Syria-bound truck
ANKARA, May 6 (Reuters) - Turkey on Wednesday arrested four prosecutors and a gendarme officer for trying to carry out a search of Syria-bound trucks belonging to the state intelligence agency that they suspected of illegally carrying arms for rebels fighting Syria's government.
Local media said the arrests were part of a crackdown by President Tayyip Erdogan on followers, within the judiciary and police, of a U.S.-based Islamic cleric he accuses of trying to oust him. Seventeen army officers were held last month in the same case.
Police and the prosecutors could not immediately be reached for comment.
The MIT intelligence agency, regarded as strongly loyal to Erdogan, refused to allow the search of the trucks stopped in the southern province of Adana last year. After a standoff, the vehicles, which Ankara said carried humanitarian aid, moved on.
Erdogan is one of the most outspoken leaders in his hostility to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who said Turkish support was a key factor helping militant Islamist insurgents seize the northwestern Syrian city of Idlib earlier this year.
Turkey denies that allegation and any suggestion it has delivered arms to Islamist militants.
Private broadcaster CNN Turk said the five were charged with attempting to "topple or incapacitate" the government through use of force or obtaining and exposing information regarding the security and political activities of the state.
President Erdogan has described the "Hizmet" (Service) movement of former rival and cleric Fethullah Gulen as a terrorist organisation bent on discrediting him and seizing power. He accused Gulen followers of engineering a corruption scandal in 2013 implicating figures in his circle.
The investigation has been dropped and the judiciary purged of suspected Gulen allies. Gulen denies the accusations.
Last year, Turkey's government boosted the powers of the national intelligence agency, in a move seen by Erdogan's critics as a bid to tighten his grip on the apparatus of state.

EXCLUSIVE! Live Spectacle NARUTO Press Conference In Singapore
The Live Spectacle NARUTO press conference in Singapore was held at Resorts World Theatre, Resorts World Sentosa on 3rd June 2015. The press was greeted by Director Akiko Kodama, accompanied by cast members Kodai Matsuoka (Naruto Uzumaki), Ryuji Sato (Sasuke Uchiha), Yui Ito (Sakura Haruno) and Kenta Suga (Gaara). Singapore marks the last stop of their international tour, rounding up a total of 62 performances in the four-month long outing that included Japan, Macau and Malaysia.
When asked about their thoughts on performing in Singapore for the final run, Matsuoka said he is delighted and happy to have the opportunity to perform here (in Singapore). The other cast members agreed, with Ito commenting that it's been four months since they've been on the road, time just flew before her realizing it. Since this is the first time a "2.5D musical" (musical based on anime or manga) is performed outside Japan, the cast are all excited yet nervous, as they are unsure of how overseas audience will react to this unique form of musical.
The cast also noted the differences between the audience from different countries. Ito mentioned that although the stage setting and performances were exactly the same as Japan, the audience from Macau and Malaysia were less reserved and more expressive during the performances compared to fans back home. Suga agreed, saying that he was initially very anxious about performing in Macau (their first overseas stop), but the fans there were so warm and welcoming that he forgot about his nervousness and relaxed into his role. Sato felt very encouraged to receive huge reactions from the Malaysian audience when he (as Sasuke) delivered the line, "Don't underestimate me!" and was booed by the crowd! Director Kodama noted that the Japanese audience tend to be more proper and particular about little details, whereas overseas audience are more relaxed and immersed in the show. She was also heartened by the positive feedback and responses which made the experience enjoyable and fun, not only for the audiences but the performing casts as well.
Regarding the challenges faced by the actors while playing their respective roles, Matsuoka claimed he had to read all 27 volumes of the manga in order to get into character. Suga's challenge was picturing the giant gourd that his character Gaara had to carry, as an extension of his physical body. For Ito, it was a task to keep up with Sakura's high energy level, while Sato lamented in jest that his biggest challenge was to learn "how to hate the members of the cast". When asked to name one attribute of their character that they identify with the most, Matsuoka went with Naruto's "never give up" attitude. Ito and Suga gave more candid replies, citing their "big foreheads", whereas Sato, completely into his role, deadpanned that like Sasuke, he is "the strongest".
For Kodama (who doubles as the script writer), the key challenge in writing the musical was to condense all 27 volumes of content into a 2-hour show, having to consider audience who are longtime fans of the series as well as those who may not be as familiar.
In closing, the cast members thanked all fans for their support, promising to give Singapore audience their best, till the very last show.
Live Spectacle NARUTO will be staged in Singapore from Saturday, 6 June to Sunday, 7 June 2015 (1:30pm and 7pm shows) at the Resorts World Theatre, Resorts World Sentosa. Tickets are available through all SISTIC outlets.
Special thanks to Imperial Artiste Management for the media invitation.

While it's always exciting to release new music, this release is mixed with more than it's fair share of sadness. It's hard to believe Karl passed away almost 3 years ago. His contribution to these songs was (and is) substantial and powerful. His bass easily shifts from dissonant staccato bursts to smooth arpegiated grooves and bouncy synth-like pulses. He is deeply missed.Read More
