Yes, this really happened.
Prompted by an anonymous tip, presumably from the burglar, police found three videotapes of sexual abuse against children aged about 10.
The tapes had been placed beneath a brown car parked in the south-central city of Jaén, along with a note giving them the address of the suspect, police said in a statement.
"I have had the misfortune to have these tapes fall into my hands and feel obliged to submit them so you can do your work and put this … in jail for life," the anonymous note read.
The alleged aggressor was identified from the content of the videotapes and arrested after a search of his home and the indoor football club where he worked, police said.
The suspect had reported a burglary at his home nine days earlier, listing several appliances as stolen but making no mention of his missing video camera and tapes, police said.

Adam, NPHS Class of 2018
For Adam, a Class of 2018 senior at NPHS, his senior pictures were pretty easy. He wanted to highlight the things he loves the most-- his family and home, reading, and band. He took me on a tour of the barn down the road that has been in his family for generations and told me all the things he wants to do to restore it. I heard stories and saw pictures of him growing up on their beautiful property, and we revisited some of the locations I had photographed him and his family in the past as well. We talked books and made his mom tear up a little.
A few days later, we met again at the stadium to photograph him with his beloved marimba. I've known Adam's parents for a very long time, and I have no doubt that he's going to continue to mature into an amazing adult just like they are!

When Is The 2019 Toyota Vios Available
2019 Toyota Vios right now comes with a little predicted changes. We have waited too long for the new models and here it is! After the last decade of just getting small updates, I am pleased with this modern models. This is exactly the concept models who is released by the customers before. It is actually not absolutely the same way, but this is as reported by the expectations. What do you think? The company agrees that this latest model is set depending on market expect.
Let's check the model in more detail, we find out how the designs is more aerodynamic. This could possibly give a few efficiency for example more effective gas consumption, perfect topspeed and more sturdy moves. At the same time, I'm glad this model has used the modern design trends. Detected from much more aggressive lamp design and of course it's full LED. A more dynamic shape model with a line of body that passes from the head-lights joining to the rear lights. I was also happy after i saw unique grill, it looked like it had never already been before. Even if using the style of the past grill design, this is really better exciting. This is firmer and taper, with a touch of honeycomb on every grid. When I saw the back, We were quite surprised by the back lamp model. Absolutely no more aged designs appear, are provided with curved LED lines. It may be prefer offering a sign when you're behind it, of course, that is 2019 Toyota Vios.
Actually we hope that there will also be improvements to the platform, we can't wait. The new platform is obviously capable to improve the 2019 Toyota Vios specs level. May be a much lighter body-weight, wider dimensions, stiffer body and more economical fuel consumption. But we have not received official proof from the company regarding this.
2019 Toyota Vios innovations some interior advice, the most visible is the trim color. Any other can change were also built to the model of the car seats, raising the size of the legroom, the better high grade trim material. In the infotainment area there is also a large LED display in the central consul with the advanced connectivity. Cabin durability would also be perfect and carries the new safety system depending on world safety standards.
I have found something exciting about the 2019 Toyota Vios engine. The engine is not totally new at the same time a few advanced technology has been setup so as to raise efficiency, performance and torque. This is quite significant since all this time the power produced is standard. We are now still wait until the complete specs of this latest engine, because everyone is curious how powerful this engine works. The advanced gearbox is predicted to get an increase, an extra direct transmission ratio to get perfect acceleration.
Contestants have also began to use new technology to their latest units. Evidently from two or three brands have dared to include safety technology and even upgrade new platforms and machines. Seems like the manufacturers is still positive with 2019 Toyota Vios to compete in the marketplace next yr.
The subject is where can we buy 2019 Toyota Vios. What is the price of 2019 Toyota Vios when it is started. when 2019 Toyota Vios will be released. We hope this car will be produced earlier this coming year or later in the first half of next season. The best price for this car is not more expensive $ one thousand for the lowest version, not more expensive $ two thousand for standard variants and of course not higher in price $ 3000 for the top variant. While the company surely has checked it completely according to market prices. So if you think the old model is time to upgrade, make sure you get ready to pay money for 2019 Toyota Vios.

Research has demonstrated that there are special brain cells called mirror neurons. When we witness someone's misfortune, such as smashing a finger or tripping, we also involuntarily flinch in sympathy. That's our mirror neurons becoming active in the brain as if we ourselves were engaging in the same behavior that we are observing. The old myth 'yawning is contagious' comes from your mirror neurons firing without you realizing it. Children learn from imitation, and so we become the teachers as their mirror neurons are developed.
One of our team mates, Bob Renney, APCom EHS Manager, had a mirror neurons anecdote including his grandson, Dakota. Bob talks about safety while at home and frequently helps and coaches Dakota with projects. Bob was helping Dakota with a fun activity that they had done together several times. The process is that the child uses a wooden chisel and hammer to chip away a sandblock to reveal one of several gems, or it could possibly contain a genuine piece of gold hidden within the block. Just as Dakota was about to start chipping, he excitedly exclaimed, "Safety first!" and ran from the room. Bob was a bit puzzled. Before long, Dakota reappeared wearing safety glasses - they were a great pair with side shields and foam lining. It shouldn't be shocking that children can imitate what adults do or say, but frequently we are surprised that they are actually watching and listening to what is being said. This shows how powerful our actions and words are and that we have the potential to influence others, as well as create a lifelong practice and lesson for our children. Safety First starts with you, whether you are at work, or home.
And if you were curious, Dakota was so excited this time to find a genuine speck of gold in his sandblock.
Who will you influence today?

Jackson Hole Course
This 2019 summer, the course will take a few temporary adjustments to avoid a new snowmaking pipeline project on the Gros Ventre ski run. There are 8 holes that have been moved slightly.
Disc golf is a great way to hike the lower mountain while tossing some discs. Jackson Hole Mountain Resort boasts the only 18 hole course in the valley.
Jackson Hole has a great disc golf course in Teton Village. The FREE course starts uphill from the bottom of the Gondola. The course starts out short and technical, with tunnel and treed shots. It winds back and forth up lower Gros Ventre and Tramline, shooting in open fields and tightly wooded areas.
What is Disc Golf
Disc golf is the frisbee form of ball golf. Instead of trying to get a ball into a hole, the goal is to get the disc into the chained basket. Starting from a teepad, players throw a disc towards the basket. They then proceed to where the disc landed and continue throwing the disc until it lands in the basket. There are many different types of discs, including long-distance drivers, fairway drivers, mid-range discs and putters.Disc Golf Blog
Disc selection can be tough for beginners. The key is picking practical discs for yourself. You don't want a disc that's super fast (rated at 10+ speed). You want something similar to a frisbee that you're familiar with. Get the hang of an easy disc, and then progress from there.Jackson Hole Sports Disc Collection
How To
Know how to throw a regular frisbee? Then throwing a disc golf frisbee is easy! It takes a slight adjustment in your throwing technique to get maximum distance and control, but you'll be a pro after a few holes. Watching a few simple videos on technique will drastically step up your game, so check them out!Learn More

TVC E. 52-year-old Brad Pitt has officially been cleared of child abuse allegations by the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services.
TMZ reports the case, involving an incident between the actor and his 15-year-old son Maddox on a private jet, has been closed.
READ MORE: Hollywood actor Brad Pitt investigated for child abuse
According to the DCFS, Brad did not commit child abuse during an argument that ended with physical contact.
TMZ reached out to Angelina Jolie's representatives who say the actress feels relieved that the investigation has concluded and her children can heal.
"Angelina said from the beginning that she felt she had to take action for the health of the family and is relieved that after their 8-week involvement, the DCFS is now satisfied the safeguards are put in place that will allow the children to heal," her rep told the entertainment website.
They also say an agreement has been put in place that gives Angelina primary custody with monitored visitation for Brad. The Hollywood actor was spotted for the first time since Angelina Jolie filed for divorce last month at a private screening of "Moonlight" in Los Angeles with Julia Roberts.

Rosa Parks (1913-2005)
Mrs. Rosa Parks died today.
Tonight, I'm going to dig out my copy of Verity's tribute album and spend a few moments remembering this strong, beautiful woman who chose to use her voice to make a difference in the world. Or I may, instead, sit with the silence and remember her quiet strength.
The elders are passing, and we must learn their stories, then learn from their stories. We must learn from their courage, then use that courage to heal the brokenness of our world.
"I am leaving this legacy to all of you ... to bring peace, justice, equality, love and a fulfillment of what our lives should be. Without vision, the people will perish, and without courage and inspiration, dreams will die — the dream of freedom and peace."
--Rosa Parks, 1913-2005
Learn more about Parks at the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self-Development: www.rosaparks.org (Update: Several people have come looking for www.rosaparks.com, which won't work. It's www.rosaparks.org).
A few years ago, Rosa Parks was named one of Time Magazine's 100 most important people of the century.

Have you ever met a Gemini?
There's double trouble there
As there's two rolled into one
He's an artful dissembler
But he's always lots of fun
There's a sparkle in his eye
Betraying intelligence and wit
With his brilliant repartee
And his fondness for a jest
Every host should have one
To give his party zest
(c) Anne Robertson 1987
Happy Birthday to all the Geminis who celebrate their birthdays between May 21 and June 20. Gemini is one of the three air signs along with Aquarius and Libra. Air is the element which refers to mental qualities. Gemini is one of the four mutable signs indicating the flexibility and changeable quality of Gemini. The others being Virgo, Sagittarius and Pisces. Gemini is the Latin word for twins which indicates their dual nature. The Gemini can be of two minds or is sometimes believed to have two or more personalities.
In Alan Oken's book, 'Alan Oken's Complete Astrology', he elaborates on the twin symbology. Among its many meanings, the glyph for Gemini symbolises the two pillars. In ancient times, the Twins were the guardians of the doorways and entrances. Pairs of gods can often be seen at the gates of Babylonian, Assyrian and Egyptian temples. They are often depicted as siblings. The Twin symbology also pervades Eastern mythology. In the ancient Indian epic the Mahabharata where there are two brothers, Sunda and Upsunda who are said to live together and are incapable of being slain by anyone unless they slay each other. In the Ramayana, Rama, the great Indian saint, also has a twin brother. Examples of twins also abound in the Old Testament but one myth about twins which is very significant is the Greek legend about Castor and Pollux because it links up with the constellation of Gemini of the same name.
The Significance of the Myth of Castor and Pollux
Castor and Pollux avenged the carrying off of their sister of Helen of Troy. Leda, the mother of Castor and Pollux, was seduced by Zeus/Jupiter, this time in the guise of a swan. From this union she gave birth to two eggs – from one came Helen and from the other came Castor and Pollux. There was some confusion and scandal about Castor's real father, for he was mortal, while Pollux, on the other hand was an immortal, the true son of Zeus. Homer describes Castor as the tamer of horses, and Pollux is the immortal boxer, one who uses his hands and is fleet of foot, which typifies the Gemini. Castor is killed in battle, and Pollux, in great despair prays to his father to let him also die. Zeus responds by taking them both in the sky as the constellation of Castor and Pollux. Homer writes "They possess their life in turn, living one day and dying the next and they have gotten worship as gods" The keynote for Gemini, esoterically, is: 'I recognise my other self and in the waning of that self I grow and glow.' Alice Bailey comments that it is an astronomical fact that the star, Castor, is waning in brilliancy, while Pollux, the immortal brother, is waxing in brightness and eclipsing his brother. Pollux represents the soul while his mortal brother represents the personality.
The Constellation of Gemini
Alice Bailey has the following to say about the constellation of Gemini: Gemini has in it two stars Castor and Pollux, the Twins. These personify two major groups of stars, the Seven Pleiades, and Seven Stars of the Great Bear, which are two constellations, in the north, around which our universe seems to revolve. She writes these two groups of stars the Pleiades and the Great Bear represent God, the macrocosm, whilst in Gemini, Castor and Pollux were regarded as symbols of man, the microcosm.
Alan Oken adds: The most notable asterisms are the two great stars which bear the names of the Twins, Castor and Pollux. Castor, befitting the nature of Gemini, is really two closely placed white stars which revolve around each other. This phenomenon is called as "binary system" by astronomers, as the two stars seem to revolve around a common centre of gravity. Pollux is somewhat brighter than his brother and is orange reddish in colour. These stars lie only four and half degrees from each other and between the were long known as the sole representatives of the entire constellation. (They were called the "Mas-mas" or Twins by the ancient Assyrians.) In time the brothers grew and many more stars were added to complete their portraiture. The ecliptic divides the Twins at the middle; their heads (Castor and Pollux) are above and are posited between the left claw of the Crab and the whip of Auriga, the Charioteer. Their feet just touch the Milky Way, above the upraised arm of the great constellation of Orion, the Hunter. The Twins are usually depicted as bound together by each other's arms.
Mercury the Ruler of Gemini – Mercury/Hermes in Mythology
We can gain insight into the Geminian nature by studying the myths of Mercury and his alter ego Hermes. Howard Sasportas, in the book 'The Inner Planets', co written with Liz Greene illuminates one on the role of Mercury. Mercury was conceived of an illicit union between Zeus, the King of the gods, and a mere mortal called Maia so he was born out of deceit. As the story goes he was already into great mischief even when he was still a baby in his cradle. He stole his older brother Apollo's cattle, and by leading them out backwards made it appear as if the cattle were going in the opposite direction. When his older brother accused him of stealing his cattle he acted as if butter wouldn't melt in his mouth. He also fashioned a lyre out of a tortoise. When he plays this instrument he charms Apollo out of his anger and he makes a deal with Apollo. In return for teaching him the lyre, Mercury must be allowed to share Apollo's patronage of the cattle. The resourceful bargaining qualities of the Gemini nature are mirrored in Mercury's actions. Apollo agreed to this on the condition that his miscreant younger brother swore an oath. When Mercury complied Apollo made Mercury the patron of oaths and solemn pledges and he also bestowed upon him the gift of the caduceus, a magic wand with two snakes wrapped around it which becomes one of Hermes' most famous symbol and is an emblem of the medical profession.
Mercury is Zeus' personal messenger and is often used to rescue others from danger. He is also a magician and charms Cerberus, the ferocious three headed dog who guards the Underworld, so he can slip in and out of the Underworld unnoticed. He is a master of magic words and magic formulas in much the same way the Gemini can charm their way out of tricky situations with their gift of the gab. The derivation of the Greek word, 'Hermes', is he of the stone heap, a place where travellers would stop and talk, and eventually where commercial deals took place and magic and rituals were performed hence Mercury's rulership over commerce, transport and short distance travel. Hermes was known as the god of crossroads, borders and transitions. There is also a figure in alchemy called Mercurius which represents both the transformer and the thing which needed to be transformed. To sum up then, the agility, versatility and ingenuity of Mercury, also known as quicksilver, is very evident in the Gemini individual.
Gemini Health and Anatomy
In the human body Gemini rules the bronchial tubes and lungs, the shoulders, arms, hands and fingers. Kali mur., the Gemini Salt, is essential for the formation of fibrin. Every tissue and organ of the body, with the exception of bone, contains fibrin. Man's whole garment of flesh is built upon the foundation of filaments or fibres. There is an infinitely fine network of these tiny fibres, all branching off from one another, forming the framework, as it were, upon which the tissues are built. This includes also the skin, glands and nerves. Symptoms arising from lack of Kali mur. are catarrh, congestion of bronchial tubes, swollen glands, mumps, sore throats, enlarged rheumatic joints, and swollen tonsils, all children's diseases where there are exudations through the skin, such as measles, chicken pox, scarlet fever, etc., for these are all disturbances of the fibrin. All cases of a very white tongue and sluggish liver and constipation, and all congestion and swellings need Kali mur. Geminis live on their nervous energy and most of their illnesses are of a nervous character. Therefore, it is vital that they learn to switch off their busy minds and relax. Plenty of sleep and proper breathing exercises would be very beneficial for them.
Gemini rules the colour yellow and also they responds well to the healing orange ray. The birthstone for Gemini is agate, the multi coloured stone and the metal is Mercury in keeping with their quicksilver personality. A homeopathic remedy beneficial for Gemini is Byronia used in the treatment of colds, flu and headaches. Healing aromatherapy oils which will help to promote calm for the excessive nervous energy of the Gemini include bergamot, lavender, lemongrass and lily of the valley. The healing musical note for Gemini is A. Diet for Gemini should include plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables especially orange coloured foods such as oranges, peaches apricots, pink grapefruit, etc. which help decongest the lungs and prevent mucous. Mucous forming dairy products and salt should be avoided. Carrot juices and legumes such as lentils are also beneficial.
Gemini Hall of Fame
Mercury, the ruler of Gemini, has dominion over communication, writing, teaching, and short distance travel. Geminis are attracted to careers which utilise their great mental skills, wit and eloquence such as teaching, lecturing, politics, music, media, journalism, advertising, public relations, publishing, astrology, technology, finance and sales.
Famous Gemini writers include Arthur Conan Doyle, Ian Fleming, Thomas Hardy, Anne Frank, Colleen McCullough, Judith Wright, Salman Rushdie, M Scott Peck, Patrick White. Poets of note include W.B Yeats, Walt Whitman, Federico Garcia Lorca, Alexander Pope, Alexander Pushkin. Queen Victoria who wrote two best selling memoirs Leaves from the Journal of Our Life in the Highlands was a famous Gemini.
Geminis who also express themselves through music and dance include Igor Stravinsky, Richard Strauss, Isaac Albeniz, Robert Schumann, Richard Wagner, and Isadora Duncan. Singers include Dean Martin, Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, Prince, Kanye West, Stevie Nicks, Alanis Morissette, Judy Garland, and Kylie Minogue. Our Kylie who turns 50 on May 28, is getting out of her comfort zone and having a soiree in London because she reckons: "you only turn 50 once, right?" "I'm having a bit of an extravaganza."
Geminis are not only agile mentally but also physically as this impressive line up of champion tennis players confirms – Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Bjorn Borg, Venus Williams, Kim Clijsters, Lindsay Davenport, Steffi Graf and Anna Kournikova.
The Gemini charisma translates well onto stage and screen with such show business icons as Sir Laurence Olivier, Bob Hope, Clint Eastwood, Errol
Flynn, Rudolph Valentino, Joan Collins, Marilyn Monroe, Michael J. Fox, Isabella Rossellini, Kristen Scott Thomas, Hugh Dancy, Geoffrey Palmer, Christopher Lee, and Johnny Depp.
Australian Gemini actors of note include Jason Donovan, Jacki Weaver, Frances O'Connor, Nicole Kidman, Anna Torv, Sophie Lowe, Pia Miranda and Gia Carides.
Geminis are also famous for their wit as expressed by the Gemini British comedian Russell Brand and American comic Amy Schumer
Media personalities include Elsa Maxwell, Hedda Hopper and Joan Rivers.
Politicians and political activists include John Fitzgerald Kennedy, Henry Kissinger, Hubert Humphrey, Rudolph Giuliani, George Bush Senior, Benazir Bhutto, Aung San Suu Kyi, and Che Guevara. Another Gemini who has been in the spotlight in the last year is President Donald Trump. Richard Di Natale. the leader of the Australian Greens is also a
Gemini as is Jeremy Corbyn the Leader of the UK Labour Party.
The science of astrology has also attracted its share of Geminis including Lois M. Rodden, Grant Lewi, Alexander Ruperti and Francoise Gauquelin, the French woman statistician and psychologist, who along with her husband Michel, set out to disprove astrology but instead ended up being some of its strongest exponents.
The astronomer and best selling author Dava Sobel featuring prominently in the 2012 Sydney Writers' Festival is also a Gemini.
Overview for Gemini for 2018
Saturn, known as the Lord of Karma, is still moving through your joint finances sector so you need to take responsibility for your joint finances and taxes. Uranus, the planet of sudden change, has just moved into your spirituality sector which could add an unpredictability to this area of your life. Your ruling planet, Mercury, will pay a visit in Gemini from 30 May to 12 June facilitating communication and networking. The extended cycle of spiritual Neptune in your career sector encourages you to pursue your creative and spiritual aspirations.
Dynamic Mars will be in your relationship sector from 27 January until 17 March 2018 which will give you the impetus to deal with any your relationship issues but you need to be aware that marital disputes could flare up. Mercury, the messenger of the gods, will pay a visit to your relationship sector from 13 December 2018 to 5 January 2019 facilitating communications in your primary relationship.
Home and Family
Planetary visitors, Mercury and Venus will activate your domestic sector. Mercury will visit your domestic sector from 7 – 22 September facilitating communication with family members. Gentle Venus will grace your domestic sector with her presence from 11 July to 6 August bringing harmony on the home front.

The focus will be on your romance and children sector with visits from Venus and Mercury. Venus will grace your romance and creativity sector from 7 August to 9 September which should bring pleasurable romantic encounters, enhance your personal creativity and relationships with your children. Your ruler, quicksilver Mercury, pays a visit there from 23 September to 10 October affording you an opportunity to initiate conversations with your children and romantic partners while bringing a sense of fun to your relationships with children or affording you an opportunity to explore your inner child.
Neptune, the planet of spirituality, continues its passage through your 10th house of career. This cycle will emphasise the spiritual and creative side of your career. Your interactions with your colleagues will be motivated by altruism and sensitivity. You may be drawn toward pursuing a spiritual or artistic career. You may even experience confusion about what career to pursue. Ultimately, Neptune may beckon you toward a career of selfless service.
Work and Health
Jupiter is currently moving through your work and health sector. From 9 March to 10 July Jupiter will be in its retrograde phase turning the energy inward. From 10 July onwards when Jupiter turns direct Jupiter's energy should be beneficial in these areas of your life.
Travel and Education
Your travel and education sector will be highlighted with the karmic South Node and two eclipses – the first eclipse is a solar partial eclipse on 15 February and the second one will be a total lunar eclipse on 27 July. Dynamic Mars will pay two visits to your travel sector from 17 May to 13 August and then again from 12 September to 15 November. Part of Mars' visit here will be in its retrograde phase from 27 June to 13 August, turning the energy inwards.

Venus follows close on the heels of Mercury gracing your spirituality sector with her presence from 7 June to 5 July.

It is an ideal time to keep a dream journal exploring the realms of your unconscious yearnings or take up meditation, yoga or martial arts to find extra meaning in your life. It is a time to protect your boundaries so that you can recharge your batteries and feel rejuvenated.
Uranus in Taurus and Mars in Aquarius – its impact globally
The mover and shaker, unpredictable Uranus, moved into Taurus on 16 May on the same day that feisty Mars entered Aquarius. These two planets will form a square which creates a volatile energy and an impulse to rebel and break free from restrictions. On the global scene we can see the escalating conflict in Israel on the 70th anniversary of the formation of Israel as over 60 dispossessed Palestinian demonstrators have been killed and thousands more have been wounded by the Israeli soldiers.
North Korea's Chairman Kim Jong-un suddenly pulled out of talks with South Korea and went further threatening to cancel the summit with Trump scheduled for 12 June in Singapore if the US pushes for a one-sided deal.
There was a tectonic shift in politics in Malaysia with the incumbent party was defeated in the federal elections by former prime minister, Mahathir Mohamad, 92, last week after a stunning upset vote, defeating not just his former protégé, but the very party he helped create. Motivated by a desire to oust Prime Minister Najib Razak, the scion of a political family who was embroiled in a multibillion-dollar corruption scandal, Malaysians voted in record numbers. One day he is in prison. The next, Anwar Ibrahim is Malaysia's leader-in-waiting. In a historic week in Malaysian politics that shocked the nation, the ruling party was kicked out of office after more than 60 years in power. Anwar Ibrahim, after being granted a royal pardon was released from prison after serving five years on charges that were widely seen as politically motivated. Anwar born 10 Aug 1947 Bukit Mertajam Malaysia (time unknown) is currently experiencing a Jupiter Return which coincides with his being liberated. The vanquished former Prime Minister Najib Razak who under investigated for widespread corruption has less favourable transits with transiting Pluto squaring his Saturn and Neptune and transiting Uranus square his Sun. The Plutonian energy undermines his authority while the Uranian brings sudden change toppling him from power.
School Massacre in Texas
Another manifestation of the volatile Mars Uranus combination is the latest school massacre which occurred 18 May US time. A 17-year-old student armed with a shotgun and pistol yelled"Surprise!" before opening fire in a Texas high school, killing nine fellow students and a teacher, authorities say, in an attack similar to the massacre at a Florida high school in February. The suspected shooter also had explosive devices that were found in the school and nearby, said Texas Governor Greg Abbott, who called the assault "one of the most heinous attacks that we've ever seen in the history of Texas schools"
More than 100 people have died after a Boeing 737 airliner crashed near Cuba's main airport in Havana, the country's worst air disaster in decades. Three women were pulled alive from the wreckage, but are said to be in a critical condition. The plane, which was nearly 40 years old, was carrying 105 passengers and six crew members. Cuban authorities have launched an investigation, and two days of national mourning have been declared.
Taurus also represents the Earth and with the volatile Uranus Mars combination we have seen eruptions of the volcano in Hawaii. A massive plume of ash rising from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano prompted a warning yesterday to pilots planning to fly over the area. The eruption isn't just dangerous to people on the ground anymore — it could also bring down planes.
New Moon in Taurus and Full Moon in Sagittarius
The New Moon at 24 degrees Taurus 36 occurs on 15 May at 9.47 pm AEST Sydney time. Taurus is one of the triplicity of earth signs representing our finances, material possessions and our security needs so there will be a focus on these issues, especially with the entry of Uranus in Taurus. The New Moon is a time for setting our intentions which culminates at the Full Moon. There will be a Full Moon at 8 degrees Sagittarius 10 on 30 May AEST Sydney time. Sagittarius represents freedom, travel, philosophy, the law and higher education so these issues may come into sharp focus.

Developer Update (Gold): Mark Croucher Week 2
So this week, I have been mainly looking into the second boss fight 'Discarded Host' and looking for all the small details that need touching up, and all the important mechanics which need a little attention. The state of this boss fight is very rough, but hopefully with this weeks changes, we can start to see this fight turn into a real introspect experience.
Starting with the drones. During phase 1, their presence does not feel big enough. The other main threat during this time being the tentacles, they have gaps between their attacks, so all the other mechanics during this time become more noticeable, and the drones just were not making enough of an appearance. To solve this, I changed the way that the group of line drones spawn, they now spawn more frequently, the catch is that the duration of time they will be present is random, adding some balanced chaos into the mix. I will definitely be looking for feedback on this part during play tests.
The second task at hand is to make the mine laying drones more constant, providing a great threat over time. This is both for first and second phase for both filling in the gaps, and to add a layer of deadliness to the ground floor.
The tasks for week 3 will be looking into balancing and play testing the boss, tweaking whatever is needed to make the fight feel as good as possible for our upcoming events.
Additionally, this week I did a lot of background work to the bosses, giving them hit scan functionality which works for each component of the boss! This will allow our other weapons to feel a lot smoother.

Gay Rights Government to Expedite Same-Sex Tax Law
On Thursday, Germany's high court ruled that tax benefits available to heterosexual married couples must be extended to gay pairs as well. Merkel's conservatives say they will quickly comply. But the party is still opposed to additional rights for same-sex unions.
Thursday's high court ruling in Germany that gay couples living in civil partnerships must be granted the same tax benefits as heterosexual married couples hardly came as a surprise. Court President Andreas Vosskuhle had hinted strongly in February that such a ruling was coming.
The timing of the ruling, however, has left Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives scrambling to quickly pass a civil partnership tax law before the summer parliamentary recess, which begins in a month. On Friday morning, conservative lawmakers in Berlin agreed to introduce a bill as early as next week.
The court demanded that joint filing benefits be extended to gay couples retroactively to the year 2001. Given that all opposition parties in Germany's parliament, the Bundestag, are in favor of increased rights for same-sex couples living in civil partnerships, the law's passage is likely to be a mere formality.
But within Merkel's governing coalition -- made up of her Christian Democrats (CDU), their more conservative Bavarian sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU), and the business-friendly Free Democrats (FDP) -- a debate has once again erupted as to whether the government should go even further and grant same-sex couples all privileges currently granted opposite-sex couples. And it is a debate which could attract unwanted attention to Merkel's conservatives ahead of the general election this fall.
The fronts are clear. The CSU is opposed to taking any steps beyond that required by the court ruling. "At issue is only what the German Constitutional Court has decided, but no further steps," CSU General Secretary Alexander Dobrindt told the daily Augsburger Allgemeine on Friday. "There is absolutely no reason to go beyond the ruling and, for example, grant adoption rights to civil partnerships."
There are many within the CDU who see things differently. In February, when the court expanded adoption rights for same-sex couples -- though stopped short of granting civil partnerships the same ability to adopt as opposite sex couples -- many in the CDU argued that the party should not merely sit back and wait for the court to lead the way on the issue.
But on Friday, conservative floor leader Volker Kauder said that his party remained opposed to granting same-sex couples full adoption rights. He said that he had received loud applause in Friday morning's meeting of conservative lawmakers when he said: "There is no homosexual marriage for us. There is marriage and there are same-sex partnerships."
The FDP, however, are in marked disagreement. The party is in favor of immediately granting same-sex couples all rights available to opposite-sex couples. "My model is: Wherever the law now speaks of marriage, we should simply add civil partnership as well," Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, a senior FDP member, said to the Passauer Neuen Presse. "And that also means adoption rights, without a doubt."

Home Builder Confidence Tanks Amid Economic Concerns
Builder confidence in the market for newly built, single-family homes edged down for a third consecutive month in August, reaching levels not seen since March of 2009, according to a report released Monday. The latest National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) fell by one point to 13, reflecting ongoing concerns about a tepid economic recovery. Reading below 50 generally indicate pessimism about general market conditions; the index hasn't been above 50 since early 2006. "Builders are expressing the same concerns that they are hearing from consumers right now, particularly the sense that the overall economy and job market aren't gaining any traction," said NAHB Chairman Bob Jones, a home builder from Bloomfield Hills, Mich. "Meanwhile, many continue to report that problems with inaccurate appraisals, competition from the large number of distressed properties on the market, and tight consumer lending conditions are causing them to lose potential sales." In other words, the nation's housing crisis may not be over yet. And if anything, the nation's bloated inventory of distressed and in-foreclosure homes is making it tough for new home sales. "Today's report reflects single-family home builders' concerns about current and future economic conditions and about the increasing hesitancy they are seeing among potential home buyers," added NAHB chief economist David Crowe. "It also reflects the frustration that builders are feeling regarding the effects that foreclosed property sales are having on the new-homes market, with 87 percent of respondents reporting that their market has been negatively impacted by foreclosures." Even so, he noted, NAHB continues to project that modest job gains, historically low mortgage rates and pent-up demand will ensure a better housing market in the second half of 2010 than in the first half. It's not a projection that is shared by most economists, with many -- included famed David Shiller, of the Case/Shiller housing price index -- forecasting further housing price declines in the months ahead. Two out of three of the HMI's component indexes fell in August, the NAHB said. Three out of four regions posted HMI declines in August, as well. A six-point decline to 18 in the Northeast partially offset a big gain in that region in the previous month, while the South and West each posted one-point declines to 13 and 8, respectively. The HMI for the Midwest held even at 15 in August. Paul Jackson is the publisher of HousingWire.com and HousingWire magazine. Follow him on Twitter: @pjackson

So, today - Tuesday, May 10, 2016 - was Strava's Global Cycle To Work Day. Yorkshire's weather gods decided to celebrate by laying on some truly lavish heavy rain, with a pretty decadent amount of wind thrown in for good measure. Being a firm follower of the there's-no-such-thing-as-bad-weather-only-inadequate-clothing philosophy, and always up for a bit of Rule #9, I donned the lycra and hit the road.
After a morning in the studio, I cycled to the Cathedral to pick up something from the office, then on to Ballifield Primary School to lead some Y3s in a singing session, the home for lunch and some prep for tomorrow's session with Forefathers, then back to the Cathedral for Evensong. 20.4 miles all told - which takes me to 1947 miles for the year to date.
Since September 2014, this has been pretty standard commuting for me, sometimes more, sometimes less (largely dependent on how many schools I'm visiting in a day) and in May 2015 I took the leap and sold my car.
Having spent nine years driving pretty much everywhere in Sheffield, it's no exaggeration at all to say that cycling to work has changed my life. Here's a few things that I've noticed along the way.
Sheffield is an incredible city to cycle in:
THE HILLS (these are one of the greatest things about it, and will take quite some going-in-to, so warrants a whole other post, at some point).
*Most* of the city's drivers and *most* of the city's cyclists are considerate and patient.
The Peak District National Park is amazing for some extended pre- and post-work loops.
I estimate that 90% of my commuting is quicker by bike than by car. Not exaggerating at all here. Due to a mixture of number 7, horrendous rush hour traffic, and good cycle routes.
Falling off your bike onto tarmac hurts like hell.
Fixing a bike is WAY cheaper than fixing a car.
Running a bike is WAY cheaper than running a car.
Buying a bike is WAY cheaper than buying a car (obviously, that depends on what sort of bike and what sort of car, though).
I NEVER have to wait in a queue of traffic. I can't overstate quite how much of an amazing thing this is. It's something I never once appreciated in all my years of being passed by cyclists whilst stuck in a car in a traffic jam, but it's something that I highly recommend. As a consequence, I'm never stressed about travelling - quite the opposite in fact - and I'm loads happier.
Most people who commute by car are the only person in that car.
I've gone from a die-hard stressed-out car-driver, to a fitter, happier (and more productive) commuting road cyclist. If you're even slightly considering making the change, JUST DO IT. Don't hesitate. Visit your local bike shop tomorrow and buy a bike. And then ride it. It doesn't matter how far, or how fast, or for how long, just ride it. You wont regret it.
You can see what I get up to, bike-wise, by visitng my Strava profile.
Below are some pics from Sunday's extra long, and extra sunny commute to the Cathedral.*
*DISCLAIMER: Not all commutes go through the peaks and it's not always sunny and warm. In fact, most of the time it's wet, windy, or cold, or some disgusting combination of all three.

Ken Worsley of Trans-Pacific Radio has posted over at Japan Economy News regarding a potential language requirement for foreign residents of Japan in the near future. Evidently, if you are a long-term resident or looking to be one, you will have to demonstrate a certain degree of Japanese language proficiency, so says Foreign Minister Masahiko Komura:
"For foreign people living in Japan to be able to speak Japanese is not only important for improving their own quality of life, but also necessary for the Japanese society as a whole…It would be a very good thing if this helps build momentum for learning Japanese language in the respective home countries of foreign people living in Japan."
Although the government may have ulterior motives for such an initiative, I believe this is a good step for the internationalization of Japan; if the public is aware that foreign residents are required by their own government to learn something about their language and culture before arriving at Nippon - this should be done anyway, but isn't always - then the social barriers that shouldn't exist in the first place will start to break down in people's minds. Maybe one day, a foreigner can be seen having difficulties using chopsticks and observers will think ahhh, that poor man, he must have broken his wrist, rather than him being an incompetent non-chopstick-using gaikokujin.
I will admit it will be difficult to gage such language skills (JLP4 for first years? JLP2 for three years?), but even having it unenforced and existing as a face-value regulation will provide a needed push to foreigners entering or already living in Japan to brush up their language skills.

Japanese Required for Residents?

Hi Turner. I just found your blog on Pat's blogroll. It caught my eye because I used to live in Japan, once for a semester in High School, and again as a missionary in the mid 90's. I miss it every day, so I'm excited to add your blog to my feed reader. I know how much changed between the two times I lived there, so I can only imagine how it's changed in the last 12 years or so. I'm also a runner, and hope to run the Tokyo Marathon someday.

It is due to the fact that web-site, because of it's compilation mode, can have the same class name (and no namespace) on different files because they will end up in different assemblies. On web-application though, it is a different story. All classes ends up in the same assembly and therefore we have to name them differently. You will encounter this problem when the...

There's no doubt that employment is always a challenge for individuals on the autism spectrum. I read some statistic somewhere that said as many as 4 out of 5 autistic adults do not have full-time employment and those who do are often over-educated and otherwise under-employed. Whether that is due to a lack of education on the condition or people just being willfully ignorant or even in my case discriminatory government regulations it's a rampant problem.
Of course, for me my issues are twofold: not only am I autistic but I have tattoos (and soon to have piercings) and, as my post from yesterday demonstrated, there are still a very vocal minority (and in some places it's actually a majority) who are anti-body modification. Between those two things, yeah, it's difficult to find fulfilling employment and more often than not we wind up stuck in rather unfulfilling jobs such as the one I'm in now.
As such, I've considered a number of directions I could go but self-employment always comes back as the best option. It's just so hard to get started and I still have bankruptcy on my credit history (and will for another about 2 and a half years – I had a near-fatal heart arrhythmia back in 2009 that had to be corrected surgically but was only discovered after I was revived from cardiac arrest) so this is still at the minimum of a few years down the road. It's a tough road but the most seemingly worthwhile roads are a little rough and curvy.
Alas, it's not totally new territory for me – I was self-employed in a limited capacity for the couple of years before I landed my current job. I did some clock/watch repair and was a wedding/funeral bagpiper but neither one of those fields has anywhere near enough demand to support a full-time business. Alas, I had just written it off as any sort of future, but it's starting to look like an attractive option again.
Some time ago my ex suggested that we should go into business together and for a little while I was on board with that, but with the immediate aftermath of the election it became very obvious that we are no suitable business partners due to our differences of business philosophy as well as stark differences of political and religious persuasion. Of course, we could not function together as a couple so why she even thought for a second we could function together as business partners blows my mind. Well, I imagine she is still young and naive so maybe she was having another one of her young and delusional moments (we've all had them when we were younger after all).
So then I got to thinking one night what I could do. If I had an artistic eye and hand I'd have considered becoming a tattoo and piercing artist but I don't have an artistic bone in my body so that wasn't going to be an option. Not only that but I can't even use chopsticks so I could I possibly handle a tattoo machine or piercing needle? It does seem like it would be fun but not everyone is cut out to be a tattooer or piercer and I most certainly am not.
Then one night as I was sitting on my back porch engaging in my evening ritual of a Scotch and a cigar it just hit me. I thought "I love Scotch, I love cigars, business idea!" So my idea for a business was born.
My business would be part lounge/bar and part retail store. I'd have a large walk-in humidor full of a huge selection of cigars that could be purchased as singles or by the box and stored at the proper temp and humidity as to be ready to smoke as well as room with fine whiskies of all varieties (Scotch, Irish, Canadian, Bourbon, you name it) for sale by the bottle.
In addition to those two main focal points, I'd have some smoking accessories (lighters, cutters and humidors/storage), a selection of pipes and pipe tobacco and a selection of microbrew beer and fine wine. For those who do not drink alcohol, we'd have a selection of coffee and tea to choose from.
The lounge portion would be classy yet modern (almost a speakeasy feel) with a state-of-the-art ventilation system. There will be no TVs or WiFi and maybe just some soft background music. I'd have plenty of comfortable chairs (and maybe couches), a couple of chess/checker tables and maybe a pool table or two but the point would be to slow down and enjoy a great smoke, a stiff drink and light-hearted conversation. The point would be to unplug yourself from social media and the demands of day-to-day life and actually get back to being human again. I want it somewhat classy but not overly so as to attract people from all walks of life and not just well-dressed business people. Everyone of legal age would be welcomed regardless of sex, social status, race, religion, sexual orientation/gender identity, disability, body mods or anything else really (and a statement of inclusivity would be part of the business model).
Now, by default any tobacco or drinks consumed in the lounge would have to come from the retail store portion but the point would still be to get people talking to each other and keeping them around for awhile (instead of just simply getting what they need and getting out) as that often times leads to them buying more anyway.
Now here's where I'm not 100% sure what I want to do. I don't know if I'd want to operate as a bar (so those hanging around would purchase by the drink) or if I'd just allow alcohol bought from the stash to be consumed in the lounge. I'm sure it's one of those things I'll have to consider with local ordinances and whatever but I do know that in addition to the dry coffee and tea we'd sell I'd want ready-made coffee and hot water for steeping tea (ready-made coffee/tea would be sold by the cup with unlimited refills).
This all sounds fine and good but what about a business name and where would I eventually set up shop? Well I don't know where I'd open by business but definitely not in Abilene, Texas; such a concept would definitely require a much more progressive, open-minded location. Also, what about an attractive name? That's even harder, but man oh man I had a bagpiper friend from Canada come up with a great name that both fits the theme of the business and is a play on my initials (L.B.) – Leaf and Barrel. I thought it was absolutely genius and will probably wind up using it.
I dunno, maybe I am dreaming again but at the end of the day that would be the real American dream – have your own business and make money engaging in an activity you love. They say if you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life. I'm 30 years old and I feel like my work days just keep getting longer and don't think I can handle another 37 years of this nonsense so it's almost time for me to transcend my day job. I just hope it's sooner rather than later. It'd be nice to take my love of these things, marry them into a business venture and not ever have to worry about a boss criticizing me for my autistic shortcomings or worrying about having to cover my tattoos or piercings or even a work dress code. I could do whatever I wanted to (within the confines of the law of course) and just kind of soak it up. If only I could find a way to make it a reality.

The Photo Project Takes Off!
Louise and I have celebrated our first official entries in the grand PhotoShop project (tentatively dubbed Chicks with Cameras, but we've had hints that others might like to join, so the name might have to change so as not to offend the masculinity of the newcomers....)
The first week's theme was "This is Houston." (You'll notice fairly quickly that my original idea never quite made it to pixels....) This week is "Herbs & Spices." Stay tuned.... So far we're having a great time with this!

Hoffenheim's Uth strikes late to break Berlin hearts
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim's impressive run of form continued as a 2-1 win on home soil against Hertha Berlin saw Sinsheim club stretch their unbeaten streak to five games, moving them three points clear of the drop zone.
TSG 1899 Hoffenheim 2-1 Hertha Berlin
Goals: 0-1 Stark (27'), 1-1 Schär (32'), 2-1 Uth (86')
Get the free official Bundesliga app!
On the back of conceding seven times in two games, Hertha prioritised defensive stability during the early stages of an evenly contested encounter. Two headers either side of the half-hour mark did little to change the complexion of the game, as first Hertha's Niklas Stark and then Hoffenheim's Fabian Schär got themselves on the scoresheet from set-pieces. Salomon Kalou struck the woodwork soon afterwards, but both sides were forced to settle for parity at half time.
The pace of proceedings was maintained after the break with both sides moving the ball swiftly, yet set-piece situations continued to provide the most promising chances. John Anthony Brooks couldn't find the target with his headed effort, while at the other end Hoffenheim made their chance count late on when Niklas Süle flicked on for Mark Uth to snatch the winning goal less than five minutes from time.
Man of the match
Süle's stock will continue to rise on the back of performances like this. The young centre-back won over 66 per cent of his challenges, completed 91 per cent of his passes and provided an expert assist for Hoffenheim's winner.
Talking point
At just 28 years old, it looks like head coach Julian Nagelsmann is the saviour Hoffenheim had been searching for all season. The Sinsheim side have picked up 20 of a possible 30 points under their new head coach and now sit in 13th place, their highest standing since Matchday 1.
Match stats
- The first Bundesliga goal of Schär's career was also Hoffenheim's first goal scored by a centre-back this season.Hoffenheim have scored four of their seven goals from set-piece situations in their last four outings.Uth has scored five of his six goals this season since Nagelsmann took over.
Hoffenheim: Baumann - Strobl, Süle, Schär (Kaderabek 53') - Ochs (Schwegler 67'), Amiri, Polanski, Toljan - Volland (c) (Zuber 85'), Uth - Kramaric
Coach: Julian Nagelsmann
Hertha: Jarstein - Pekarik, Stark, Brooks, Plattenhardt - Skjelbred, Lustenberger (c) - Haraguchi (Baumjohann 88'), Darida (van den Bergh 85'), Kalou - Ibisevic (Schieber 73')
Coach: Pal Dardai

Day by day, not particularly well framed, but you get the idea.
September 14th – 15th?
September 18th – note shadow of arm – ooops!
What can I say? Chemo has really been kicking my ass… I seem to have a harder time than many with the reality. Interestingly enough, after chemo the breast incision is much more painful, and the cording (though much less severe) and left arm tenderness has recurred.
These are from August 18th.
O, and last week the sad remains of my pubic hair fell out -it had been thinning unpleasantly, but there was a mass exodus of the survivors last week. Now I look like the rest of the aging Lolitas, muffin top and all (ten pound gain on chemo).
It's not particularly comfy. Don't mind the look so much, but without pubic hair to act as a cushion, all my tender and sensitive bits are directly against my undies, and I'd prefer them not to be.
Ah, well, this too shall pass. And the regrow should be fun… I'm guessing since it just *fell* out, I'll be escaping the itchy season. Small mercies, eh?
I went through my first round of chemo, and took a break from self documentation – chemo kicked my ass. My body continued to heal, though…
the folding of the nipple seems much less to me, and I'm looking pretty symmetrical. Most of the spots are the remnants of hives I got (most likely from Taxotere).
still visible: depression and flattening of the excised area, but diminished.
not bad in my book, and much better than it looked previously.
the left breast still looks a bit puffy to me – I was trying to hold as symmetrical a pose as possible to get a truer picture, but I don't know if I succeeded.
and here the surgical distortion is very apparent, along with the strange coarsening of skin.
After this, there's a break in photos, as I entered chemotherapy, and body distortion took back seat to simply getting through the day… and things kept changing. I've been using ScarAway on the incision almost constantly during the day and vitamin E at night, as well as using light massage to help minimize scar tissue formation.
The cording and seroma have almost completely vanished, the breast still feels a wee bit tender, but I've been able to revert to my normal braless state (thank ye gods and little fishes).
there's still a little bruising and a bit of swelling, but the excised area is flattening out.
That flattening and indentation is fairly visible here. This is just under a month post surgery, and it is NOT the final reality.
It's known as cording, or 'axillary web syndrome'. It's not uncommon, though it's more common in women with more extensive surgeries than I had. Depending on where you read, it self resolves in a few months, or it lingers on forever with flareups possible years after surgery. It's best treated with ice, or warm heat, or gentle massage, or by stretching, or rest. It's caused by over exertion too soon after surgery, or it has no known cause but tends to appear a week or so after surgery, after an otherwise unremarkable recovery. Developing a seroma can predispose one to developing AWS; AWS can predispose one to developing lymphedema – or there's no connection. Radiation can aggravate the condition, as can any of the myriad other things that can lead to lymphedema (insect bites or stings on the affected arm, cuts, scrapes, sunburn, over exertion, etc etc ad nauseum). Women with lower body weights are more susceptible to AWS; it's just not as apparent on heavier women.
There seems to be a dearth of real research on the syndrome – it's been recognized for years as a possible effect from surgery, but I guess it just wasn't *interesting* enough to merit research.
It's decidedly odd, this extra tendon like thing in my armpit, the pulling of it down my arm, the extreme sensitivity of the skin in that area… yet another aspect of my body changing out of my control, and I do feel rather bitter that I wasn't warned about this; I wasn't warned about the seroma; it's all been word-of-mouth and "what-the-fuck-is-this?" and quick web research on my part.

HEU calls on Chilliwack mayor to stop contracting out at city-owned care facility
The Hospital Employees' Union (CUPE) is calling on Chilliwack municipal council to step in and stop the contracting-out of dietary, housekeeping, laundry and recreation services at city-owned Valley Haven Guest Home, a seniors' multi-level care facility in the heart of the city.
Sixteen HEU health workers received 60-day layoff notices yesterday from facility administrator John Jansen whose company, Fraser Pacific Management Ltd., leases Valley Haven from the city of Chilliwack.
HEU spokesperson Chris Allnutt says that the contracting out and privatization of jobs adversely affects local economies, especially rural communities and Chilliwack should put a stop to it.
"We are calling on Mayor Hames and city councillors to step in and stop the contracting out of work at Valley Haven not only for the good of the residents but for the benefit of the whole community," says Allnutt.
"Good jobs enable people to support local businesses and contribute significantly to the vitality and viability of the area economy. Destroying people's careers is bad for business."
Allnutt says that the layoffs came without warning. "Our members are in shock. Their jobs are gone. Their work is being privatized. There has been no consultation with the workers and their union.
"It's a disgrace and shows a complete lack of respect for the employees and the services they provide in order to ensure that seniors have a healthy, clean and comfortable place to live," says Allnutt.
Jansen, a former Socred cabinet minister, also told affected staff to expect contact next week from a private contractor about possible employment opportunities.
"It's a grim scenario," Allnutt says. "HEU workers in care facilities have fought for and won decent wages and benefits over many years. Their gains have benefited their families and their communities. Now they're being forced into low-waged jobs without the protections of a collective agreement.
"We're looking to Chilliwack municipal council to turn this situation around and keep good jobs in the community."
