BEIRUT (Reuters) - Scores of Islamist fighters were killed in an army ambush in the Eastern Ghouta area of the capital Damascus, Syria's national news agency SANA said on Wednesday.
Lebanon's Al Manar television said the attack occurred near the town of Otaiba and that the death toll may have been higher than 170. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said at least 70 rebels had been killed.

For millions of adults, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a daily struggle, depriving sufferers of the deep, restful sleep they so desperately need. Right now, doctors throughout the U.S. are accepting participants for the THN Clinical Study. The study is for THN Sleep Therapy – an investigational device that works within your body and is designed to reduce or eliminate sleep apnea episodes.
To see if you might qualify, and to be connected with the THN study center in your area, click here.
About Sleep Apnea
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common and serious sleep disorder in which breathing is repeatedly interrupted during sleep. OSA occurs when the tongue falls backwards into the throat during sleep, thereby blocking the airway as you breathe in. This can cause breathing to be paused from several seconds to over a minute.
If not treated properly, OSA can affect both your heart and brain, leading to high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, diabetes, and stroke.
THN Sleep Therapy does not involve any masks or external tubes, but rather is an implanted device designed to keep the airway open during sleep.
While you sleep, the THN System delivers mild electrical signals to the hypoglossal nerve, which controls the key muscles of the tongue. This nerve stimulation increases muscle tone to the tongue, and keeps the tongue out of the airway. This makes it easier for air to flow through the airway so that you can sleep with fewer interruptions.
The THN System is implanted under the skin through a short surgical procedure (about 1hr), and is activated through a handheld remote control. Typically, you would turn on the THN Sleep Therapy System at bedtime, and turn it off when you wake up in the morning.
The THN Clinical Study
Right now, doctors throughout the U.S. are accepting participants for the THN Clinical Study. The study is evaluating THN Sleep Therapy –an investigational device that works within your body and is designed to reduce or eliminate sleep apnea episodes. Currently, THN SleepTherapy is only available through the THN Clinical Study.
You might be a candidate for THN Sleep Therapy if you:

Chris Bryant invites Tyson Fury to Commons to discuss homosexuality 'issues'
Shadow leader of the Commons Chris Bryant has urged new heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury to "get in touch" and come to tea at the House of Commons, so the pair can talk about his "issues".
Labour MP Mr Bryant argued Fury, who defeated Wladimir Klitschko to win his world titles last Saturday, was not an appropriate person to be nominated for the the BBC's Sports Personality Of The Year (SPOTY) shortlist.
An online petition set up by LGBT campaigner Scott Cuthbertson has already collected more than 63,000 signatures demanding that he is removed from the list over his outspoken comments about homosexuality.
Chris Bryant has invited Tyson Fury to the House of Commons
Mr Bryant told Sky News' Murnaghan programme: "In part, I'm joking obviously about going head to head with him, but again I think in politics it is possible to change people's minds."
Asked if he was an appropriate person to be nominated for BBC SPOTY, Mr Bryant said: "No I don't. In the end it's not for me to tell the BBC what to do with their programme or for that matter Sky."
He claimed: "My real problem is that Tyson has equated homosexuality with paedophilia and actually that is a very dangerous equation to make because it means that we don't take child abuse seriously."
Mr Bryant said the vast majority of child abuse happened within the family and was heterosexual, adding there were millions of gay and lesbian couples "the whole world over who would never touch a child except to prevent harm to them" and there were thousands of others who had provided a loving, caring and gentle home to children.
He added: "So there is something deeply offensive about what he said, but it's not the offence that I care about, it's the fact that it means that we end up not taking child abuse seriously."
Mr Bryant raised the issue in Parliament on Thursday, stating: ''I gather Mr Fury has subsequently said that some of his best friends are gay,'' adding. ''So can I suggest that we invite him to Parliament some time in the near future because frankly I am quite happy to go head to head with him.''
Asked about his response on Murnaghan, Mr Bryant said: "He's not replied. Mr Fury, Mr Fury, I don't know which camera, Mr Fury please get in touch come to tea at the House of Commons and we can talk about your issues."

Human hair extensions are a absolutely quick and simple way of after light your attending and giving you either added array or some length. Alternatively they can aswell be abrupt in for those humans that wish to add some highlights or colour into their hair but don't wish it permanently.
Here in this commodity we shall attending at why animal hair works able-bodied and how to put in blow in extensions yourself.

Firstly, if allotment animal hair extensions you charge to be assertive that the colour of your accustomed hair will bout the extension, if you wish to accomplish a bolder account again accept a colour that is altered from your own or one that is even bolder, such as a ablaze red or blue.
After you accept called the colour you wish your extensions to be, admeasurement the breadth of your hair, if you accept continued hair already and just wish to add some thickness, again you will wish extensions and wefts that are the aforementioned length.

You can accomplish this in two ways, either buy purchasing altered lengths so that your accustomed breadth looks like a abbreviate band or to buy some continued hair and again cut sections of it so that it looks like it has been styled, rather than just continued hair that has been abrupt in.Clip the extensions in abreast the root; blow them in as abutting to the attic as accessible but so they are comfortable. You do not charge to accept the hair extensions too bound because this will be aching and could accident your accustomed hair. Test how defended the hair is by again abrasion and acceptance it to mix with your absolute hair. The acumen that animal hair extensions are bigger than affected hair is that they can be done and styled just like your own hair.
It is consistently an acceptable abstraction to align your own hair afore abridgement in the extensions so that it all looks smoother and a lot added natural, unless the attending you wish is a coiled style, of course! Finally, accomplish abiding that if you ablution and dry your extensions that you action them like you would your own hair and be acquainted that any over administration or calefaction will eventually accident the hair so yield affliction of it.

Santa is coming to De Hoop Nature Reserve this July. The exquisite reserve along the Garden Route is a great family getaway – with a private lodge, self-catering cottages and camping facilities.
There's a special Christmas weekend on offer from 10 to 12 July. It all starts off with a Breakfast Eco Boat cruise, followed by a Kiddie's Nature Quest and, later, Night Adventurer activities.
On the Saturday morning, families can head off for a guided bird walk, followed by a chocolate-making workshop with Richard von Gesau (a well-known chocolatier). This is followed by a visit from Santa at 3pm (around time for high tea), followed by a cabaret and Christmas dinner with all the trimmings in the cosy Fig Tree restaurant.
One of the highlights is the cabaret performed by Emile Minnie, whose repertoire includes French love songs and, in this instance, Christmas carols.
De Hoop offers the ultimate nature-inspired getaway for the whole family, and in this case with the added bonus of being able to celebrate the festive season six months earlier than usual.

Here we go with Wobble icons: Jam, Jelly, etc.
We save designers the time of googling for the icons. Once you choose a style, we guarantee you'll have every icon you need. Jak?
Wobble icons for Windows 10 are designed to match the original icons of Windows 10; we've summarized this design system in our article that Microsoft has failed to produce. Optimized for 32×32 pixels, these are our cleanest outline icons, only to compete with our small 1em icons and way less detailed as our iOS icons. Like all our free icon packs, these Wobble icons are available for download as PNG, SVG, PDF and other vectors, as an icon font, and as HTML/CSS snippets.
These color Wobble icons belong to our Flat Colors icon set. This is our second most popular icon pack after iOS. Feel free to download this icon in PNG format for free, or unlock vectors. Unlike other icon packs that have merely hundreds of icons, this monster icon pack contains 9,000 icons, all in the same style and quality. Like all our free icon packs, these Wobble icons are available for download as PNG, SVG, PDF and other vectors, as an icon font, and as HTML/CSS snippets.
Apple introduced the glyph icons in iOS 11 and uses them for tab bar (along with regular iOS icons that are for everything else). The grid is 30×30 pixels. Unlike original iOS icons which are the outline ones, these icons consist of the the filled shapes and visually dense. If you're creating an iOS app, either download Wobble PNG icons in 3 sizes (free icons for 50 and 100px; for folks who paid there's 150px) or download a single vector icon in PDF format (you'll have to buy icons) — Xcode will generate the proper PNGs on the compilation.
These small, tiny Wobble icons are designed to fit the text. They are only 16 pixels tall, thus we called them 1em (1em=16px). The problem that web designers are aware: once inserted in text, the icons break the line, making text "dance" and overall make design look chaotic. 1em is the only icon pack that follows the text, i.e. looks natural in a line of text of a standard font size. Of course, you can scale it up for larger text. A good idea is to generate a font and use it along with your text (we have a built-in font generator). Enjoy your new, clean menus, action buttons, and other pieces of text combined with an icon.

The Pittsburgh-based Allegheny Institute for Public Policy issued a report Wednesday providing an overview and analysis of the revenue collected under the Act 13 drilling impact fees, noting the 2015 collections were down to $187.7 million from a 2013 high of $225.8 million.
Through five years of collections, the impact fee has brought in more than $1 billion, the report said.
The falling price of natural gas and the reduction of drilling activity in the state resulted in lower impact fee collections.
The report pointed out, "The [natural gas] boom in the first few years contributed to a glut in the supply of natural gas that has subsequently depressed its market price.
"The price drop has caused a decrease in drilling activity which has led to a decrease in employment in this sector as well as a downturn in the amount collected by the impact fee.
"This just serves to point out the dangers of having the economy relying too heavily on an industry that is susceptible to volatile price swings.
"Pennsylvania legislators need to keep this in mind as they continue to contemplate whether or not to impose more taxes on such an economically volatile commodity to stabilize the state's budget."
A copy of the report is available online.For more information on the drilling fees, visit the PUC's Act 13 Impact Fee webpage. The Independent Fiscal Office also put out an Impact Fee Update Thursday.

Canon has today updated its scanner line with four new models ranging in price from $79 to $179.
The CanoScan8600F, LiDE 600F, CanoScan 440F, and the LiDE 70 colour scanners scan both documents and photos.
The first three all scan photos at up to 4800 x 9600ppi optical resolution; the two CanoScans include a built-in Film Adaptor Unit to make scanning negatives and slides easy.
All four models feature EZ Buttons that make one touch operations out of copying, scanning, creating Adobe PDF files, and image optimization.
PDF file creation has been enhanced on the two CanoScans and the LiDE 600F so that the files can be made in colour or black and white and multiple pages can be combined into one file.
All the new devices use USB2.0 connectivity for high-speed data transfer.
The most expensive of the lot, at $179, is the CanoScan 8600F, that comes with software and technology to remove dust and scratches from scanned images.
The LiDE 600F is a space-saver, as it adapts to a vertical position so that documents can be dropped into it, as well as a tradition horizontal position or open position for scanning of awkwardly-shaped objects.
Like the LiDE 70, the 600F gets its power from the USB connection to the PC, and features seven EZ Buttons and 48-bit colour depth for $149.
The CanoScan 4400F, which is priced at $99, is, according to Canon, the best of both worlds, "the harmonious balance of performance and value pricing".
Its 4800 x 9600ppi resolution capabilities and built-in film adaptor makes it perfect for work with negatives and slides.
Last up is the budget LiDE 70 for $79, which is marketed to the classroom and dormroom. It achieves a maximum resolution of 2400 x 4800ppi, and features four EZ Buttons for copying, scanning, emailing, and creating a PDF.

Critical Care Nursing Internship in Austin Tx?
What are the best hospitals to work at in Austin? I'm graduating with my BSN in May and I'm looking for a nursing internship program in a critical care unit in Austin. I know that Seton and St. Davids are both good hospitals, but what are my other options? I'm moving for the DFW area and the fact that there are only a couple good hospital systems there kind of scares me. I'm used to having lots of options.

With the US armed forces playing an ever increasing central role in American foreign policy, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the role of regional Commanders-in-Chief (CINCs) in both implementing and shaping relations with various countries. Wielding tremendous power and substantial resources, both military and economic, these officers are also diplomats, advisors, and intermediaries between other countries and the Washington policy process. This book explores the role these military commanders play in contemporary U.S. foreign policy.Mr. Cook has also been a military instructor in the Department of Political Science at the U.S. Naval Academy, and was a 1999a2000 ... He received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Mathematics from the U.S. Air Force Academy in 1994, and a Mastera#39;s in Public Policy from Harvard ... forces in Southern Europe, and headed the nationa#39;s largest geographical military operationathe U.S. Pacific Command.

AMG serves up the hottest A-Class ever
Mercedes has released images and details of the its long-awaited performance flagship for the latest A-Class range, the AMG-tweaked A45.
However, don't let the A45 badge fool you into thinking this baby Merc is powered by a massive throbbing V8. Instead, confusingly it has got this name as part of the celebrations in the run up to AMG's 50th birthday in 2017.
What the A45 does have under its bonnet is the most powerful four-cylinder engine in the world. Also the first four-cylinder engine ever fitted in an AMG model, the 2.0-litre turbocharged unit boasts a massive 335bhp and 332lb-ft of torque.
This engine is mated to seven-speed automatic transmission with three modes, plus standard 4MATIC four-wheel drive that should make it easier to get all of this power on to the road.
Top speed is electronically governed to 155mph, whilst acceleration to 60mph takes just 4.6 seconds. Yet it's still capable of returning over 30mpg and produces just 161g/km of Co2.
Each example of the all-aluminium engine is hand built at AMG's Affalterbach plant by a single technician – good for a boast or two down the pub.
Outside, you'll be able to spot the A45 by its deep front splitter and AMG-specific grille finished in matt grey. Elsewhere, there are gloss black painted air intakes, sill skirts, door mirrors and it rides on 18-inch alloy wheels to cover the bigger brakes.
Inside, there are new AMG high-backed seats, a revised instrument cluster, plus red highlights for the air vents and seat belts.
The A45 will make its debut at the Geneva Motor Show next month and will be available in the UK from July.

Day 138 – If You're Gonna Be Lonely, Don't Be Stupid, Too
First edition of guest blogs comes from Charlotte Cuevas. I think you will enjoy this one! Check out her blog, The 365 Poetry Project.
If you're gonna be lonely, don't be stupid, too.
Don't be selfish and mope.
If you have to be alone or you want to be alone,
don't waste it on being depressed.
Don't sit in your filth
and scowl as hours dance
and wait for somebody to be sorry.
Don't throw up your hands
and shake your head as others try,
as if you're so wise not to bother.
Don't open your mouth to sing
unless you got some words of hope
because nobody wants to hear you.
When you're lonely, raise hell
beat the drums, rejoice
that you got so much livin' to do
and then do it.
When you hit the bottom,
grab a shovel,
find some oil since
you're down there anyway.
'Cause you're right-
there's not too much love out there-
but if there were
there'd be no reason to search.
And as long as you're…

The 36 Chambers graffiti walls will open on the 20th of March (Wednesday) 6.30pm at The Helutrans Gallery - 39 Keppel road, Tanjong Pagar District park (opposite the old KTM railway station). Along with other 8 local graffiti crews, Totem2 (USA) and other break dancing crews around the globe.
Two days of intense painting session with the RSCLS collective at The walls of Helutrans, 39 Keppel road, Tanjong Pagar District park (opposite the old KTM railway station).

On Monday, roughly 50 industry professionals took their own tour of the Meatpacking District for the Greater New York Chapter of NEWH's Making of the Meatpacking event.
The night started at nightclub TenJune, where Lionel Ohayon, ICRAVE; Celeste Fierro, One Group; and Mark Birnbaum, EMM Group, discussed their restaurants and nightclubs—the successes and the not-so successful ones—within New York's hottest going-out area, delving not only into the design, but the ideas behind them, their secrets to longevity in an otherwise volatile industry, and how they constantly adapt to a changing clientele.
The group then moved upstairs to the newly opened rooftop of STK restaurant for perfect sunset views, and ended the night with bottle service at the rooftop of the Gansevoort. Just a typical New York night!
Svedka vodka donated all of the alcohol, and even created a special drink for the occasion: the aptly named Hospitalitini.
Special thanks to our sponsors: 5 Star Furniture, Appian Textiles/Tiger Imports, Dedon, Fabric Innovations, Koroseal, Lusive Decor, Mason Contract Products, Tucci, and Valley Forge Fabrics.
The fabulous panelists: Mark Birnbaum, EMM Group; Celeste Fierro, One Group; and Lionel Ohayon, ICRAVE.

President Barack Obama's nominee to become the next FBI director told senators on Tuesday that he believes waterboarding is torture and is illegal.
"When I first learned about waterboarding when I became deputy attorney general, my reaction as a citizen and a leader was 'This is torture.' It's still what I think," said James Comey, a former deputy attorney general under President George W. Bush.
Comey added: "And if I were FBI director, it would never have anything to do with that."
Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) asked Comey directly if he agreed that waterboarding is illegal and torture. Comey said "yes."
Comey was also asked about his views on U.S. surveillance practices.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) asked the nominee, who would replace FBI Director Robert Mueller, whether he believed the U.S. Constitution permits the government to use a drone to target "with lethal force a U.S. citizen on U.S. soil if that individual does not pose an imminent threat." Comey replied that he did not.
If Comey is approved by the Judiciary Committee, he will be considered by the full Senate in September.

Trainee Air Traffic Controllers
£50k salary after three years*
No aviation experience necessary. This role's all about you. How you think and solve problems. How you handle pressure. How you adapt to unpredictable situations like extreme weather events.
Believe it or not, these qualities are rare: less than 1% of applicants make it through the selection process. But if you make the grade, you'll be greatly rewarded – from training and benefits to job satisfaction.
What will I do?
Once trained, you'll coordinate up to 25 aircraft – not only as they take off and land, but throughout their journey across our airspace. Communicating constantly with pilots, you'll keep each plane a safe distance apart and react swiftly to changing events.
What does the training involve?
Training takes around three years. The first nine months will see you learning on simulators and studying everything from meteorology to aviation law. You'll then move into an Ops room and start doing the job for real. Once validated as an ATCO, you can expect to earn upwards of £50,000.
What will I need?
A passion for the job, resilience, a calm nature, good powers of concentration, strong spatial awareness and, of course, excellent problem solving skills. You'll also need to pass a medical. As for qualifications, you'll need at least five GCSEs (although many people who join us have A levels and degrees too).
*Qualified controllers with three years' experience can expect to earn between £46,461 – £51,781 plus shift pay of £5,543.

Beth Yarnall's sexy and emotional Recovered Innocence series continues as two broken souls discover that keeping their hands off each other is even harder than facing their demons.
Beau: Six years. That's how long I spent behind bars for a crime I didn't commit—the murder of the woman I loved. Now I'm free, but life on the outside is a different kind of prison. I don't know who I am or who I want to be. At least I have my sister, Cora. She never stopped believing in me. She even got me a job at the private investigation agency that cleared my name. And then Vera Swain walks into Nash Security and Investigations and kicks my world on its ass.
Vera: There's only one thing that would make me come out of hiding after two years on the run: finding my sister. I made the mistake of telling a monster about her, the same monster who beat me and broke me. Now I'm forced to confide in Beau Hollis of Nash Security and Investigations. He looks at me like he knows me—the real me. He sees too much, makes me feel too much. The pleasure he offers is exciting and addictive. But I can't fall for him . . . because my love could get us both killed.
Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
It was the second volume of a story and I've only learned about it when I was looking for reviewing this book. So you can really read it by itself without trouble. :-)
Honestly, the beginning is a bit heavy and hard. Was not really connecting with Beau until his armor cracks and he lets Vera and the reader in. As for Vera, she is a taugh cookie, who went through hell so her character is a very strong one.
This story is not the typical sunshine love story full of heats, as the author has decided to talk about sexual slavery and how girls can easily be manipulated, but it's an interesting one.
Like the plot and the way Beth Yarnall has written her story. It was great on the emotions maybe a little too close off on the location as the two heros don't really go out.
Interesting novel with some potential.
Open a book, it's like starting an adventure. You never know in advance whether it will make you travel, cry, laugh or shudder... Ouvrir un livre, c'est débuter une nouvelle aventure qui va vous faire voyager, rire, pleurer ou frisonner...

Street Art Santiago by Lord K2
Santiago, with its deeply evolved and extremely active underground graffiti scene, bursts at the seams with an abundance of eye-popping, jaw-dropping murals. Stencil graffiti artist Lord K2 documents 14 neighborhoods within the capital of Chile with his arresting photography and intimate conversations with local artists.
Through more than 200 images and 80 interviews, learn how street art was influenced by American, European, and Brazilian graffiti and how its evolution runs parallel to the political history of the nation itself.
During the Cold War, nationalist muralist brigades spread socialist idealism through symbols of power and oppression. Santiago's repressed lower classes gradually usurped the art form, and murals eventually became a weapon of resistance.
This vibrant city, with its array of distinct cultural districts, now invites you to experience its fascinating and tightly knit artistic community that has flourished since the fall of Pinochet's dictatorship in 1990.
I was discussing Design and Art with a graphic designer from Ecuador recently, who was having the same thoughts that these artists in this awesome book.
Latin America has taken some time to figure out what were their artistic and cultural roots because they were often copying what was done in America.
And when you see the richness of the drawings and paintings represented in this book, it's a very good thing that artists are coming back to their country artistic richness and beauty
I've really enjoyed the quotes that explain the personal vision of street art and graffiti from the different artists. Personally, using art to brighten a neighborhood and children views, it's a great way to express your creativity.
This book told you about Art and especially the varity encountered and expressed in Santiago, Chile.
Really like how it was written and made.
A great one!
Lord K2 (David Sharabani) is a London-born photographer and stencil graffiti artist. His works have been featured in galleries in New York, London, and Tel Aviv. He is currently working on a number of projects. For updates: www.lordk2.com.

Eco Living Japan by Deanna MacDonald
Eco Living Japan: Sustainable Ideas for Living Green by Deanna MacDonald
Japan is equally as well known for its ecologically-sensitive traditional homes as it is for cutting-edge, green technology.
Eco Living Japan presents 19 contemporary Japanese houses which exemplify the most recent trends in sustainable design in Japan. This is wabi-sabi for the 21st century!
The book's content is informative and enjoyable for both professional architects and forward-thinking homeowners. Anyone with an interest in Japanese design and trends in sustainable living will find fresh ideas for their own home projects. These homes work in harmony with their environments and with the people who inhabit them— "green design" at its best!
With a rich architectural beautiful past added to a Zen Philosophy, Japan always made me dream with its serene and peaceful houses.
Full of lightness, flexible and open towards the exterior into beautiful garden. I love the minimalistic way of using the surfaces, nothing is waste.
This book tell you about the contradictions of Japan with cities full of buildings but an intense use of recycling too that have raised quickly after 1945 to find housing solutions after the war. Constructions that lose their values after 15 to 20 years, people who doesn't think that buying an house is a good investment or a lot of japanese apartments left empty. You learn also why the Japanese are used to impermanence because of the many earthquakes.
It's a great way to see Japan houses and all the possibilities and creative ideas you can imagine to live in a more sustainable way.
Not because it's a marketing trend but because it's a good way to stay in touch with yourself, the nature around and stay grounded to was is important.
A really cool book about architecture and Japan but also on worldwide architects who are inspired to build houses in the Japanese styles.
« I do not know the meaning of 'Green Architect'. I have no interest in 'Green Eco', and 'Environmentally Friendly'. I just hate wasting things ».
Shigeru Ban
"This book is one more step forward towards a holistic understanding of Sustainable Design. Not as a simple matter of technology, but as a broad civic responsibility: for ecological and economic improvement, for social integration and cultural adequacy."
—Jana Revedin, professor of Architecture and Design and Founding President of the LOCUS Foundation for Sustainable Urban Development

The shooting star
The shooting star
Let me tell you the story of a little star, one who appears every night after the sun has departed.
In the vast somber coat of the sky, illuminated by the round face of the smiling moon, she was surrounded my billion versions of herself. All pretty, all shinny. Part of a family, she was happy.
For a long time, playing hide and seek with the planets made her smile. Winking brightly at the loving couples embracing themselves tenderly under her watch made her proud. Listening to the human wishes calling upon her magic for happiness, wealth or health made her sparkle more.
Until the moment where her splendid yellow dress started to pale. Out of the blue, the color was vanishing and she was having no clue about what was happening.
Night after night, she was sighing. Worrying about her lack of beauty, of purpose. Thinking she was unable to enchant humanity anymore, she felt unworthy.
And for the first time, after spending an eternity in company of the universe, she was feeling lonely.
One night, she confided in the Moon.
"I wish someone will see me, understand me with all my imperfections and still love Me."
"Careful about what you wish for. You may get it in a different way you expect."
The star stayed silent with a determinate look on her face.
Seeing her stubbornness, Lady Luna added in a motherly tone, when kissing the little one goodbye: "Just remember, you are already a unique jewel in this night sky. You don't need anybody attention for this fact to become true. You are who you are."
Fate was in motion.
Since we all have our own journey and experiences to learn from, advices can be heard but at the end, we are the masters of our own choices.
But even stars have dreams to follow…
Few Lunar circles later, a spaceship landed with lot of noises, bringing some animation into the celestial void. Excitation was vibrating in the night world. Even our little star brighten up at the disruption of her routine.
A human, in a huge suit, was dancing his way on the surface. Making strange signs with pen and paper in his hands. Her curiosity was even more picked when she saw the man looking intensely her way, while sorting out tools and wood from his space home.
Every day under her close watch, he was disturbing her peace. Strangely different, he was nevertheless funny to follow. Patiently without any rush, he was building a huge ladder to reach the sky. For whatever reasons, she didn't know, but was staring to hope.
Until one night, with a proud look on his face, he deployed the immense engin.
Then, with a rag and a very sweet smelling pot, he climbed in her direction. Among all the bright spots of the constellations, he stopped under her south branch.
Panicked, the little fading star in her pale dress was trying to mask her flaws. Incandescent she was not anymore and at the thought, she wanted to shy away. But where could she hide when he was already invading her space?
Without asking permission, he started to dust her tears away. Whispering sweet words while scrubbing her of insecurities. Her heart escaped through every new rays of light that were shining again. Falling for the fragrance of the polish he was applying on her, she was glowing, night after night, under his care.
She was overjoyed: all her adornments looked bright new and her wishes had come true.
But the little star was so focused on appearances, on her own egotistical thoughts that she has forgotten to listen to the reality whispering around her. She has failed to notice how sparkling all the stars were in their glowing finery.
Since every night, when she was dreaming, the man was shifting the ladder to dust the rest of the universe. Now, hearing his wonderful work being praised by so many, she felt even more lonely. That's when a new sigh of understanding echoed from her heart.
He was the polisher of the night, the one who brought faith and hope to the lost lights.
Remembering the Moon warning, the little star took some time to examine her options, her emotions, her dreams. She could feel the chaos inside, the unrequited love.
She had become a falling star.
Even if we cannot attract what we deeply want, we can still cherish what we get.
Taking off to travel the galaxy, she has filled herself with the love she has felt to become a wonderful shooting star. One you can wish upon every time you see her flying in the night. Now, just be sure to choose wisely what you wish for.

Pimp My Rice by Nisha Katona
Nisha Katona is a rice evangelist. Why? It does not need peeling, it does not need soaking, it likes to be left to cook without a watchful gaze.
It is eternally long life, waiting long in dark cupboards, bidden to warm musky life when fridges are empty and potatoes are sullenly sprouting. Far from being an understudy, rice is the most virile, muscular weapons of mass construction in the busy working kitchen.
Nisha, who runs two Mowgli Street Food restaurants, is on a mission to demystify rice and to show the enormous breadth of rice recipes that can be created simply and quickly. As a second generation Indian, she shows how to marry different cuisines together, to create vibrant, exciting dishes. In other words, this is a book of pimped-up rice recipes.
Nisha Katona is a rice evangelist, barrister and founder of Mowgli Street Food. She has a worldwide following for her Twitter Curry Clinics and presents a hugely popular YouTube channel.
Perfect for the lovers of rice !
Wild, red, brown, black... Sweet for a desert, with meat or recipes for vegetarians... If you are crazy like me about rice, you will find some awesome ideas in this cook book.
I was impressed by the diversity of choice, the combinaison of ingredients and the easyness the author gives us the steps to succeed in making these dishes.
The photos are yummy too!
Almost drooling on the black rice and coconut ice cream!
If you are a fan, you will luuuv it! :-D
Have fun!

One of the Guys by Shiloh Walker
Complete and utter humiliation—that was what Jaynie felt as she stood in the doorway watching her fiancé playing out his ménage fantasies with his best friend and the cute neighbor from across the street. Bad enough that the cute and sexy neighbor is the woman her fiancé clearly wants her to be, but now she finds the man she loves in bed with the woman. To add fuel to the flame, he later tells her that she couldn't be a real woman if she tried.
Humiliated and hurt, she's hiding out at her best friend's house and ends up coming across her friend's older brother Brian. Brian…hot, sexy…also her partner from work. The last thing she needs is another complication, but she can't think about that right now.
The heat in his eyes, the desire she can see on his face—that is something she does need and she offers him one night, no strings.
But one night of no strings turned into something neither of them could have counted on. Brian's take-charge attitude in the bedroom and his oh, sexy, smile are getting to her.
Friends all their lives, they've played together, now they work together. Faced with the most important question of all, Jaynie has to figure out…can they work together?
Light, cool and perfect to spend a relaxing moment.
It was well written and the characters were great to follow around. Like Brian and Jaynie story. It was cute, sexy and fun to read.
Maybe not a book with a "wow" factor but a honestly great story, well balanced between the plot and the sex scenes. It is the perfect read to take it easy and decompress after a long day.
Cool one!

I received this book in exchange of a fair and honest review.
Alone Together
Alone Together
Music surrounds us seductively
No words just a sexy melody
The promise of a nice soirée
Under my eyelashes, I glance your way
Your desire stares back openly
Aroused by this urgency
My thoughts become blurry
Sorry, have you spoken to me ?
Was caught up in a naughty fantasy
Where your mouth was already on me.
You approach with a knowing smile,
How can you always read my mind?
Your lips answers mines hungrily
Forget the slow, the lovely
Let's see if our burning reality
Can surpass my fantasy.

Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews didn't make all those guest appearances during the 2011 New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival strictly for fun. He was also apparently collecting business cards.
Andrews' forthcoming second album for Verve Forecast, "For True," boasts guest appearances from Kid Rock and Jeff Beck – both of whom he joined onstage at Jazz Fest.
Other special guests on "For True," slated for a September 13 release, include longtime Andrews mentor Lenny Kravitz – who contributes bass to a song called "Roses" – guitarist Warren Haynes, R&B singer Ledisi, the Rebirth Brass Band, Ivan and Cyril Neville, and members of Galactic. Andrews' touring band, Orleans Avenue, is also featured.
The new album, like its predecessor, was produced by Galactic saxophonist Ben Ellman. Andrews wrote or co-wrote all 14 tracks.
Verve released Andrews' acclaimed national debut, the Grammy-nominated "Backatown," in 2010. He supported it with a relentless tour schedule, performing on five continents and at a slew of high-profile festivals, including Bonnaroo, Japan's Fuji Rock Fest, Australia's Byron Bay Blues Festival and the Playboy Jazz Festival. He performed in Brazil, Singapore and many points in between, and opened shows for Beck and the Dave Matthews Band.
He also played himself in several episodes of the HBO series "Treme."
The full track listing for "For True," along with featured guests, is as follows:
1. "Buckjump" (featuring the Rebirth Brass Band horns, 5th Ward Weebie and percussionists Ben Ellman and Charlie Smith)
2. "Encore" (featuring Warren Haynes)
3. "For True"
4. "Do to Me" (featuring Jeff Beck)
5. "Lagniappe Part 1" (featuring Galactic drummer Stanton Moore)
6. "The Craziest Thing"
7. "Dumaine St."
8. "Mrs. Orleans" (featuring Kid Rock and Galactic bassist Robert Mercurio)
9. "Nervis" (featuring Ivan and Cyril Neville)
10. "Roses" (featuring Lenny Kravitz)

Top Entrepreneurs 2012
Salad days: Chop't finds green
The day Colin McCabe and Tony Shure, both 37, opened their first Chop't Creative Salad Co. location in January 2001, the cash registers broke. "Colin was at station one and I was at station two when the point-of-sale system went down," said Mr. Shure. "We couldn't charge anybody, so we looked at each other and said, 'Free.' We already had a line to the door. After that, people went back to their offices and told their co-workers about the new free salad place on East 17th Street. Then we had a line down the block."
Eleven years later, "free day" is a Chop't tradition. On the first day of each new store opening, the salad is on the house for three hours. It's a way to generate buzz—in the form of extremely long lines—while training the staff in handling a lunchtime rush.
But even when the co-founders aren't giving the product away, Chop't has customers queuing up for its "hand-chopped" gourmet salads. Over the past decade, the chain has grown into a profitable business, with $33 million in annual sales from 16 stores in New York City and Washington, D.C. Plans are in the works for more than a dozen new stores in the next two years.
Mr. Shure and Mr. McCabe dreamed up Chop't in the mid-1990s, when the two New Yorkers were students at the University of Wisconsin and frustrated by their culinary options in a land of burger and fried-chicken joints. "We would go to the all-you-can-eat buffet at Pizza Hut just to get salad," said Mr. Shure.
Meanwhile, they were watching a burgeoning segment of the restaurant market: Fast-casual chains like Chipotle Mexican Grill and Cos� sandwich shops were offering table-service quality at a fast-food pace. The Atkins and South Beach diets were generating interest in vegetables and lean proteins. Mr. Shure and Mr. McCabe started their business plan at a Kinko's while drinking coffee from Starbucks. "All of that got our wheels churning," Mr. Shure said, "and we came up with Chop't from that."
After graduating, the pair earned their true chops at a restaurant in Denver before returning to Manhattan with a business plan. With the help of friends and family, they raised $750,000 to open the first Chop't restaurant in Union Square.
Their first challenge: Persuade the lunch crowd to crave nothing but a salad. So they developed "recruiting" salads, such as a steak offering with with onion rings, and a panko-fried-chicken salad. They also gave the store a theatrical element: Customers watch as workers chop their greens with mezzaluna knives. And they continually added ultra-trendy ingredient options, like cotija cheese, edamame and quinoa.
Most important, the founders correctly understood consumers' increasing willingness to pay for fresh, tasty food delivered quickly. Normally, entr�e-size salads like the Mexican Caesar or the Kebab Cobb cost about $8 to $10—but restaurant analyst Bonnie Riggs said today's diners will pay extra if the quality is there. "It's not about the cheapest price," said Ms. Riggs of market-research firm NPD Group in Port Washington, L.I.
Increased customer sophistication has also enabled Chop't chefs to take inspiration from everything from Saveur magazine to Anthony Bourdain (whose recent trip to Sardinia on the television show No Reservations sparked the idea for the restaurant's Sardinian Caesar salad). "There is a general knowledge of food in the past decade that has exploded," said Mr. McCabe.
Now they're spreading the message of better eating to New York City public schools. As part of the Wellness in the Schools program, Chop't has adopted P.S. 175 in Harlem, and in June will take its fifth-grade class on a tour of the White House garden. The hope, said Mr. Shure, is that improving kids' diets will also help their studies. "It's an unreasonable expectation that you're going to feed kids bad, sugary food and expect them to sit still and learn," said Mr. Shure.Two guys who spent their college days in a vegetable desert ought to know.

Today, Archbishop Desmond Tutu is backing young and old to demand that everyone counts when governments agree global goals to reduce poverty at the UN later this year.
"As we get older our rights do not change. As we get older, we are no less human and should not become invisible," said 84-year-old Archbishop Desmond Tutu in a video released today.
"I want to tell the world that I count, that older people everywhere count and that people of all ages should be included in the Sustainable Development Goals," he said as we host Action All Ages Day as part of the action/2015 campaign.
A month of action on the SDGs
This May, action/2015 will highlight the importance of people of all ages in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are being being set for the next fifteen years.
The action/2015 May Month of Action will feature 14 Global Action Days – organised on themes of ageism, child health, faith and climate change, gender equality and hunger and nutrition – as well as hundreds of events including marches, concerts, flash mobs, workshops and debates throughout the month.
"This year decision-makers have the chance to include people of all ages in their plans for the years ahead," said Toby Porter, Chief Executive Officer at HelpAge International.
"Across the world, from the Philippines to Zimbabwe, we are joining hands with the world's older people, who too often go unheard and uncounted. We want to make sure older people are included in these goals to ensure they are legitimate," he added.
Bringing young and old together
Action All Ages events will take place in ten countries around the world. Singer-songwriter, actress and entertainer, Avril and fellow older musicians from Kenya have developed a campaign song, Hoja Zetu (Our Views) which will be shown at an event in Kenya.
"I want to grow old knowing I will be listened to just as much as anyone else, at any age," said Avril, best known for singles, Mama, Kitu Kimoja and Hakuna Yule.
"I have learnt so much from the older musicians I've worked with on this song. We love what we do because music connects people. I know, like them I'll be singing into my old age," she said.
Age Demands Action campaigner in Kenya, Mama Rhoda Ngima will be taking part in the day and said: "Just because I am old does not mean I am not passionate about my rights. I want this year to be the year I am heard, the year I am recognised and counted."
Action All Ages around the world
In Mongolia, the Mongolian Women's Fund, MONES, is planning an event for older women and young people to inspire and mobilise communities to act together.
In Zimbabwe, an intergenerational panel will review the Millennium Development Goals and come up with recommendations for the post-2015 agenda that focus on ageing.
In Malawi, older and younger people are organising an intergenerational public debate. Younger and older people will talk about what they hope to see in the SDGs.

With the news that the injured Ben Spies would miss not only the Australian GP, but the Valencian GP as well, the American MotoGP rider's miserable MotoGP season was abruptly ended after his fall at Sepang.
Set to ride on the Ducati Junior Team next season, Spies' run with Yamaha now seems to have concluded, and the attention has shifted as to whom would ride in his place at Valencia, if anyone.
Despite a twitter campagin to get American Josh Hayes back on a Yamaha YZR-M1, Yamaha Racing have instead chosen test rider Katsuyuki Nakasuga to replace Ben Spies on the factory Yamaha.

Internet contents English structure
Building on the common words, the structure of the English is very important if you are not fully translating your internet contents; website, social media, etc.
- Short sentences that are to the point.
- Like a Power Point presentation.
- Not too much detail.
- Detail can always be supplier on a fact sheet later or as a download.
- Too many words will create more work for your company or Chinese potential customer in transaction.
- avoid abbreviations e.g. min / max should be written Minimum / maximum
This will help not just potential customer but also the automatic language translation programs. The longer the sentence the greater chance of translation errors.

Through a variety of ways, God has made know to me that Race to Reconcile is not to be – His will be done. I hope you take the time to watch the 10 minute video as I explain to you how this came about.
If you are not able to watch the video, allow me to simply share that God has closed this door in dramatic fashion and open another door in dramatic fashion.
Ultimately it is ALWAYS about God's WILL.
It was my most sincere desire to finish this project and I'll admit to you that it was a bit of pride that kept me pressing forward hoping things would connect. God in his gracious ways allowed the process to confirm that it was indeed – "no". As I already understand, whatever His reason was, it was for my good.
In our walk with God we know this, but when faced with the emotional transition, we many times have to see it over a period of time. If we love God, however, we will submit to Him and accept that it is for the best. This decision was also supported by those who provided me council regarding Race to Reconcile.
The video will share in more detail.
My thanks to those who supported me both financially and in prayer. You will receive your T-Shirt soon.
May we always remember that God's purpose is always accomplished and the experience I had with Race to Reconcile has open my eyes to realize that reconciliation is God's ultimate purpose for coming in the person of His Son – Jesus. It must also be our focus to remain reconciled to His will for our lives – not our programs, traditions or even people that we often seek affirmation and validation from.
My sincere thanks again for your understanding and may we all take from this experience that reconciliation is all our calling as ambassadors for Christ.
In His Grip,
William Owens
