Android "Whipping Up Something Sweet" For Tomorrow To Celebrate Android's Eighth Birthday
Google owns Android and they are kid from heart. They like to hide small easter eggs in every OS and things like that.
They also love to tease its fans. With the Pixel ad-teasers popping up all over, and its Pixel announcement happening on October 4, a new Chromecast, Google's home assistant, and smartwatches over the horizon, this new teaser could mean anything. Android turns eight years old today.
Android's Twitter account tweeted that it is whipping something up for tomorrow (likely for the anniversary, hence the cake emoji). The picture has the Android guy (A.K.A. Bugdroid or sometimes Andy) holding cute little whisk and bowl with what looks like a couple of egg yolks.We're whipping up something sweet for a big day tomorrow. 🎂 #Android pic.twitter.com/I4idH0F4am— Android (@Android) September 23, 2016
Next to him lays a pile of KitKats, marshmallows, and nougat. Strangely, Lollipop is missing. What could the teaser mean?
Is Google going to do something involving past Android candies? At this point there are more questions than answers. What do you all think Android is up to?
Do you know what the tweet means? We hope to find out tomorrow.

With more and more algorithm changes, achieving quality SEO results has never been more difficult. Long gone are the days of signing up to directories and keyword stuffing.
In a world of mobile-first indexing and Penguin penalties handed out right, left and center – SEO professionals need to find more creative ways to secure top results for their clients and still maintain white-hat SEO.
Sure, you can put more grind work through aggressive link building, hiring a PR agency or hiring a bunch of content writers, but could these simple alternative strategies below give you the edge you need?
Tip #1 – Post Content When No One Else Is
We know that content is king. Adding regular content to your website through landing pages or blog posts is very beneficial for SEO, provided it is relevant. It can't be thin – with thousands and thousands of words, it needs to be relevant and answer questions in your industry, presented by h tags, useful links, images and videos where possible.
A competitive edge over your rivals is posting content when no one else is. We assume that Google indexes SERPs every day or at least every few days, but we don't know precisely when this happens. If you can post content at alternative times of the day or year and Google indexes your site, it could give you a competitive advantage.
Our company only posts content on weekends (because we know no one else will) and it so easy to schedule if you use WordPress. In addition, we take advantage of things like UK bank holidays and that lazy week between Christmas and New Year's because Google could very well pick up that we are being more proactive than our competitors.
If this is the case, don't we deserve to rank higher?
Tip #2 – Get Impartial Users to Critique Your Website
We regularly hear in the SEO blogger sphere that Google (and other search engines) is taking user metrics and UX more seriously when defining SERPs. Specifically, things like time on site, page views per visit and low bounce rate are important.
With this in mind, there is an argument to ask your partners and people in your industry to look through your site and offer their feedback. This can be achieved for free by emailing partners that you work with, posting on Reddit or on free start-up groups on Facebook and LinkedIn.
The idea is that they will spend some quality time on the site, read through the content, browse through different pages and give you useful feedback, Moreover, this activity on your site will make you look relevant and boost your rankings.
This may be a temporary boost, but we must not forget that a higher click through rate on Google's search results also helps. For instance, if you are ranked position 9 and more people click on you than position 3 or 4, this should also help your ranking.
Therefore, if you are a newbie brand or website who has only recently pushed to page 1, users that have not seen you before will be inclined to 'give you a go' – meaning that you should push up and up.
Tip #3 – Acquire Links from Simple Sources
Of course, you can take the traditional route of creating a quality content piece and then using outreach to get links back to it. But not only is this very time consuming, you also have no guarantee over which links will point back to you and what anchor text will be used.
In reality, there are going to be lots of websites talking about your product, service or industry and they are always looking for references, quotes or data.
Our alternative technique involves finding websites that have already written articles or blog posts on the subject. Taking an example from our client at Perfect Funeral Plans, they are competing in the tough industry of funeral insurance. But since it is quite an unfamiliar product, there are lots of guides, articles and forums online trying to explain it.
Our approach involved reaching out to all those guides on page 2 to 10, contacting them and offering to give additional data to help 'bulk up' and refine their articles. Understandably, several publishers were thrilled to have more information in their articles and were pleased to give a follow link back as a reference. Link building achieved!
Sure, these SEO techniques have worked for me, but does SEO today need to be so complex? Is writing good content, getting natural links and making your site user-friendly enough to get to page 1?
Please leave your comments below.

Kitap, a green Kougra, sprinted down a brick path towards
his Neohome. He stared up at the huge building in the distance and grinned as
he thought of his own bedroom inside, completely made of strawberry jelly. Inside
the room was a beautiful desk made completely of ice, and a bone chair next
of it. Above that was a shelf holding a wide variety of plushies including a
red Krawk plushie, his favourite. At the opposite side of the room was his bed;
the softest you could imagine, with silken sheets and a thick blanket with plushie
dragoyles sown across it in many different poses. As well as this he also had
a cupboard stacked with books and a few other random collectibles. The only
thing left out was a petpet.
Oh well, Kitap thought dreamily, I'll
get one... as soon as I finish saving up for a faerie paint brush...
He had been saving up for a faerie paint brush
for the past five months and had earned quite an amount of Neopoints so far.
His three siblings had all been painted already, and now Kitap only had a little
while to go before he had enough money to get his own.
The Kougra yawned and stooped to pull a pawful
of flowers out of the ground for his owner.
Suddenly, he paused, staring. There in front
of him was a little bika, wearing no saddlery, and looking up at him with large,
inquisitive eyes. Seeing a Terror Mountain petpet, by itself, in Meridell was
pretty unusual and after gaping at it for a short time, the Kougra crouched
down in front of it, trying to make himself look less frightening. He spoke
in a soft voice, "Hello little fella! What are you doing here?"
"Well, I was hoping that some Neopet would come
by and see me," answered the Bika.
Kitap drew his paw back quickly, as if the bika
were dangerous, and his large, golden eyes grew wide. "Umm. Was that you talking?"
he asked in shock.
"Of course," the petpet replied impatiently.
"You don't see any other bika around, do you?"
"Well, no." Kitap was thinking that something
must be wrong with his hearing... or that he must be in a dream. Petpets couldn't
talk, not ever!
The bika bent his head down to eat some more
grass. Finally, Kitap pinched himself, and decided he must be mad. "I didn't
know petpets could talk, though."
"Have you ever spoken to a petpet?"
"Uh, no."
"Well then." Then the bika went back to nibbling
the grass.
Kitap had no idea what the bika meant by this
remark, but he asked, "Why were you waiting for a neopet to come along?"
"I was hoping they would take me home. You see,
I don't have a neopet of my own."
"Would you like to come to my Neohome?" the
Kougra asked hopefully, his spirits rising. "I'm sure I'd be allowed to keep
you. And I've got a fantastic room of my own that you can sleep in... it's made
of jelly too!"
"Hmm... Sure," the bika said simply.
"Really? You mean, you'll come live with me
and be my own petpet?"
"No. You'll be my neopet."
"Okay... I suppose," the Kougra said, confused,
but not really caring. "Gee whiz, my owner's going to be surprised."
"Oh, I never talk to humans," the bika said
"Oh." He waited while the bika chewed grass
a little longer.
Then it said, "What's your name?"
"Oh, I'm Kitap. And I have two sisters called
Armarjen and Yiyeceq, and a brother called Yuorekli."
The bika seemed to be thinking. "I guess my
name will be Kitap," he said.
"But, that's my name!"
"Don't you like it?"
"Sure, but... I'd feel funny calling you Kitap."
"Oh, all right, then. My name will be Armarjen."
"But that's my sister's name! Besides, it's
for a girl. Don't you like any other names? But not names that already belong
to someone in my family. You can have any other name, I promise!"
"Gee, you are fussy. Oh, I know; my name will
be Darigan Kau."
"Now come on," Kitap almost yelled. "That's
just plain silly!"
"But, you said..."
"Yes, but let's be reasonable." said Kitap,
"I always wanted to be a Darigan Kau." The bika
"Er, have you ever seen one?"
The bika smiled. "No."
"Do you know what a Darigan pet is?"
"Never mind. But, why a Darigan Kau? You're
not a Darigan Kau. What if I wanted to be a bika?"
"I'd call you Bika," the bika retorted. "I've
already picked out three names and you don't like any of them. I think I'll
find another neopet."
"No, wait!" Kitap said quickly. "I've got an
idea. Your name can be 'Darigan Kau', just as you wanted, but we'll call you
by your initials, D.K., for short. Like 'Decay'."
"Isn't decay the rot on a neopet's tooth?" Decay
asked with a hint of suspicion.
"Yeah, but at least it's better than 'Darigan
Kau'. Now come on, let's tell my owner."
"You tell her," Decay said stubbornly. He had
found a new patch of grass and was daintily trotting over to it.
"No, come on now," Kitap said impatiently. "You
won't know which house is mine."
"Oh, all right," mumbled Decay, still eating.
The End
Author's Note: Well, I hope you enjoyed Decay's first story. There'll be
more stories about him if this gets into the NT.

Web Design - Internet Explorer 8 and HTML 5
Internet Explorer 8 still accounts for 3.78% of all web traffic marginally behind Internet Explorer 11 which stands at 5.36%. Given this most web designers and developers will have to continue supporting IE8.
Many of us had assumed with the demise of official support for Windows XP (for which Internet Explorer 8 was the latest version of IE available) web designers would be able to totally drop support. This unfortunately doesn't appear to be the case, a client of mine is still earning £500k a year in revenue from customers on IE8, so ignore it at your peril.
IE8 doesn't natively support HTML 5 or CSS 3, which poses some questions about how web designers continue to support it whilst moving to these technologies.
Conditional Comments and Browser Specific Stylesheets
One approach could be to use conditional comments to target IE8 specifically, this is an approach many web designers have taken to target Internet Explorer bugs for earlier versions, but it works just as well for alternative styles:

The Psychological Effect of Volatility in the Markets
Psychology plays a huge role in the stock market. I am referring to internal psychology, not about the whole global market psychology. Your emotions will dictate your risk tolerance and that's through experience and being in uncomfortable situations that will help you be a better trader. I am talking about being uncomfortable when you have anxiety to actually go through and act on something. The more you face and move past anxiety, the more you will grow your comfort zone, and therefore help your trading. For example, a common thing that always brings anxiety to most is to see their ex-girlfriend or ex-boyfriend soon after the breakup. If you can handle this fine, move on to something that you have even more anxiety about. It will grow you.
In the stock market you have volatility (fluctuation or variation in price). Sometimes this volatility is very minimal where a stock can jump just a few pennies in a minute, other times its so extreme that certain stocks jump $2 within a blink of an eye and then bounce back up. Beginning traders often believe that they can handle more volatility than they actually can.
Lets take Joe, an new trader who has $10,000 in stock XYZ @ $50 / share. (That's 200 shares). Joe says that he can handle a 20% drop (meaning $8,000 in value or $40/share). It doesn't sound bad on paper, but what happens in real life when the numbers and ticker tape actually starts rolling is that by the time the stock is at $47 the mind is starting to ask questions. Doubt is starting to set in. At $45/share Joe panic may start to set and Joe may end up getting out. The stock can reverse back and soar past $55/share. Even though he said his initial tolerance was much more, the actual risk tolerance in the situation is far less. Knowing that only comes from experience.
This happens often for beginners. Most beginners do not know how to handle their emotions or block out the noise of information that is being fed to them. That's why panic starts to kick in, they sell too early, or they sell too late in hopes of the stock going back up.
The point here is that volatility in the stock market can play a huge role in your decision making process. So make sure you learn about your internal risk tolerance level and experiment with it. The best way to do that is to invest real money, but to only invest in 3 or 5 shares. Yes you will lose out on commission, and probably not make any money from the trades at all, but you will get real money experience and real emotional experience without large losses.

It is designed like all oped art to be provocative and interpretative. It shows a point of view which relates the hyperbole of the tea party people to the actions of a disturbed mentality. The disgusting part is the lack of inclination to blame the people untimately responsible. They are again being given a pass for the viciousness they have engendered, at least in part.When challenged by Frank to show any connection between the shooter and the tea party or to distinguish his crazed murderous intentions from those of the killers at Virginia Tech and Columbine, Danziger displays his own measured rhetoric on those with whom he disagrees.
I would guess that your experience is on one political side rather than the other. I am on neither. I want all this goddam noise and manufactured strife to stop. I want people to work toward a better country. I think I have earned the right to insist on it. I am not a Democrat nor a Republican, neither left nor right. I was drafted and served in Vietnam and was awarded a Bronze Star and an Air Medal and received a field commission. That probably means less to me than to others, but I don't have to apologize to anyone for my views. This may not equate to working in political communications as you have done, but it counts for something
I have been watching the development of this combination of loons and opportunists since it started. The Tea Party, the very name is ridiculous. Crazed fat people tortured by their lack of success in life, following the absolute worst of our politicians. Palin, Angel, Quayle's rotten kid. These people are your choice for anything? The whole thing is based on unreality. Don't you understand? And Mcveigh was reading that crazy shit from the enbd times or whagtever it is called.Gee, drawing an incendiary cartoon and then anticipating "another dumb war" to stop those "crazed fat people tortured by their lack of success in life" is his way of trying to get "all this goddam noise and manufactured strife to stop"? Could have fooled me.
In the end the government has GOT to work. We are in competition with the world. Car companies don't compete. nation now compete. And these asses want to go back to the 1700′s. I've written enough. The whole thing is probably unstoppable except with another dumb war. That's what usually happens. You can have it.

Hugo Chávez: 1954–2013 – Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez has died following a long battle with cancer, writes the Buenos Aires Herald. The 58-year old socialist underwent four operations in Cuba to treat a form of cancer that was originally detected in his pelvic area in mid-2011. He was last seen in public on Dec. 11 and had arrived back in Venezuela from Cuba on Feb. 18. "It's a moment of deep pain," Vice-President Nicolás Maduro said in a nation-wide transmission announcing the death of the president. " We call all our fellow-countrymen to militate peace." According to the Venezuelan constitution, a presidential vote will be held in the next 30 days, with Maduro pitted against Henrique Capriles, the centrist opposition leader who lost the October 2012 election. For more on Chávez, TIME's Tim Padgett examines the life of this "garrulous and pugnacious leader."
DR Congo Clashes – Clashes between the DR Congo army and fighters from the APCLS armed group have led to the deaths of 70 people, while thousands more have fled their homes in the eastern part of the country, reports Aljazeera. The violence began last week in the town of Kitchanga, a place known for ethnic tensions and battles over resources. According to the French NGO Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders), a hospital filled with wounded civilians was shelled over the weekend, while homes were set on fire. An estimated 1.8 million people have already fled their homes in eastern Congo due to high levels of violence.
Argentine Dictators — Argentina's former military dictators are on trial for their alleged involvement in Operation Condor, which killed an estimated 80,000 people in the 1970s and '80s, reports the Daily Telegraph. The 25 defendants include Jorge Videla and Reynaldo Bignone, who were the country's de facto presidents during the military rule from 1976 to 1983. Videla and Bignone are already serving life sentences for their role in the Dirty War in the '70s. The trial is expected to last two years and will call on roughly 500 witnesses, writes the paper.
Gaza Marathon — The U.N. agency responsible for organizing the Gaza marathon has cancelled the event after the territory's governing body Hamas prohibited women from running in the race, notes the BBC. The U.N. Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) had initially scheduled the race for Sunday to raise funds to operate summer camps for children in Gaza. Hamas had provided security and support for the past two marathons, in which women and men raced together.
Brand It Like Beckham — English soccer star David Beckham has been tapped as an ambassador for Chinese soccer, according to Bloomberg Businessweek. Beckham's responsibilities include attending games in China and using his star power to help boost the image of Chinese soccer, which is possibly known more for its alleged corruption and embarrassing defeats. In a statement, Beckham said, "I'm excited by the prospect of promoting the world's greatest game to Chinese sports fans as I've seen firsthand the growing interest in football there." Even with his new role, Beckham will continue to play for Paris Saint-Germain in France.
South Korea Warning – South Korean military general Kim Yong-hyun has warned North Korea that it will respond to any provocation with "resolute retaliations," if South Korean lives are put at risk, reports the BBC. The warning from South Korea comes in the wake of the North's third nuclear test in February. As the Koreas have yet to sign a peace treaty, the North and South technically remain at war. North Korea said Tuesday that it would end the truce between the two nations on March 11 due to U.N. sanctions and military exercises in the South.

Wow … Yesterday evening, President Donald Trump stunned the world by agreeing to meet with despotic North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. As Jordan Schachtel outlined in his CRTV Dossier newsletter today, it is still too early to know if any meeting between Trump and Kim will turn out well. But it has caused even the anti-Trump MSM to take notice. For example, CNN's Erin Burnett.
On her television program last night, Burnett remarked, "If President Trump can truly solve this problem, that would be going down as a great president and there's no way around that. That is the reality here." Our friends at NewsBusters have a full rundown of the "glowing praise" heaped upon Trump for the move by CNN and MSNBC types. Trump is unconventional, to say the least, but what if it is all planned to try to bring adversaries of all types to the table to actually solve problems?
This is expected … CNN's Jim Sciutto – the former Obama administration official who doesn't disclose that fact on the air – is being Jim Sciutto again. This time he tweeted out something hugely misleading about Trump and Russia. According to the Washington Examiner, Sciutto tweeted:
Breaking: Top US general in Europe: "I don't believe there is an effective" US response to confront #Russian cyber threats – NATO Supreme Allied CMDR-Europe Scaparrotti
Here's the thing. Scaparrotti didn't say that. The Examiner shows how the comment was much more "nuanced," but that doesn't get you over 1500 retweets. So if you're Sciutto, you stretch the truth and spread misinformation. That's pretty much his stock in trade at this point.
The real deal on "collusion" … Despite Sciutto's disinformation, the real deal on so-called Russian collusion is that people who actually understand Russia think it is all bunk. That's the thesis of Tablet Mag's Lee Smith, who explains, "Knowledgeable reporters on the left and right are frightened by the spread of an elite conspiracy theory among American media." The key takeaway is that the anti-Trump press is "gleefully going along for the ride" on a conspiracy theory that has major holes in it.
… against the mainstream media's biased reporting, selective facts, and outright propaganda. Sign up now for the daily dose of sunlight you need to disinfect the media's lies. It's free!
Did he even look? … Once a darling of the conservative mediasphere, CNN's Oliver Darcy is now just another soldier in CNN media critic/cheerleader Brian Stelter's army of anti-conservative punditry. Here's a recent case in point. Yesterday, Darcy wanted to call out The Daily Caller for not covering the Stormy Daniels lawsuit against Donald Trump. The only problem? The Caller did cover it, extensively. The story was on the home page for hours, and there were over a dozen stories at the Caller on the topic. The Caller's Joe Simonson has the full story. It's time to take off the blinders, Oliver.
A "disgrace" … On his radio program last night, LevinTV host Mark Levin sounded off on the MSM, whom he called a "disgrace" for protecting the Obama administration's domestic political spying operation. As CR's Chris Pandolfo recounts:
[Levin] reminded his audience that the Obama administration spied on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, spied on members of Congress, spied on Jewish organizations, spied on the Associated Press, and spied on reporter James Rosen and his parents, explaining that they were perfectly capable of spying on Trump's team.
As I've been saying, the media are more interested in taking down President Donald Trump than they are in the truth. The media narrative is what needs protecting, not the American people.
It's that time of year again. The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament selection is this Sunday, and the tournament tips off on Tuesday, March 13. Do you have a team? Or are you just blindly filling out a bracket in the hopes of winning some cold, hard cash? (Note: WTF MSM!? does not condone illegal sports gambling, no matter how fun it is.)
While you're busy watching March Madness, could you help spread the word about WTF MSM!? Just send your friends over to the WTF MSM!? signup page and ask them to fill out the form. Also remember to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com with story ideas and things you've seen the MSM do that make you scream WTF!

Target Settles Web Accessibility Lawsuit
In 2006 the National Federation of the Blind filed a class action lawsuit against Target on behalf of blind internet users who were unable to buy products on target.com.
The settlement, filed in the U.S. District Court of Northern California, requires that visually impaired users who depend on screen-reading software to use Target.com "may acquire the same information and engage in the same transactions as are available to sighted guests with substantially equivalent ease of use."
Bruce Sexton, one of the original named plaintiffs, says that the settlement "marks a new chapter in making Web sites accessible to the blind…" and commends Target for its efforts thus far. NFB President Marc Maurer hopes "other businesses providing goods and services over the Internet will follow Target's example."
Well, if this lawsuit is any indication of things to come; other businesses had better follow targets example by making sure people with disabilities can use their website! Unless losing multimillion-dollar class action lawsuits is part of their business plan.

Acute bronchitis doesn't last more than a few weeks. However, patients with acute
can sometimes experience an aggravation of their symptoms in time or they can develop chronic bronchitis. Chronic
is a form of bronchitis that generates less intense symptoms, but the illness can lead to serious complications in time. Unlike acute bronchitis, which can clear on itself in a short period of time, chronic
persists in time and needs ongoing medical treatment.
Onion From the early beginnings of traditional medicine, the onion has been famous for its healing powers. Onions were speculated to have antiseptic properties and were often used in wound dressings and washes to protect wounds from infection.

It could also break high fevers.

Jews help Syria's innocent victims in Bulgaria
Former pop musician Yank Barry is teaming up with celeb boxers, aiming to knock out hunger and homelessness among Syrian refugees, while Jewish group Shalom offers medical careIn escaping the horrors of the Syrian civil war, Hadirdrami Yantar hoped he would find solace in Bulgaria. Lured by dreams of a better life in a Western country, the 39-year-old Syrian and his family of four arrived in the town of Harmanli, only to be met by a harsh reality.Living as squatters in the makeshift trailer park that serves as a camp for new arrivals, Yantar's family were forced to brave low winter temperatures with only outdoor fires to keep them warm. Unable to handle the growing number of refugees, the Bulgarian authorities are helpless to offer anything more than overcrowded camps in poor condition with little medical care or food. "We count on external assistance," admitted Bulgarian Prime Minister Plamen Oresharski during a meeting with Jewish Canadian philanthropist, pop musician/jingle writer Yank Barry on November 13. Driven by personal ties to Bulgaria and his humanitarian mission, Barry is among the most recent contributors to join the relief effort to aid the Syrian refugees in Bulgaria, the European Union's least wealthy member. Recently, Yantar, his wife and three children, moved to a private hotel. Their rent for the next six months is paid for by the Global Village Champions Foundation, co-founded by Barry and famous boxer Muhammad Ali, which is spending $1 million to help fund the housing of 50 refugees. Superstar boxer Evander Holyfield accompanied Barry on this recent trip."I don't know why I'm the one leaving the camp, but I have three children and my wife is pregnant. This is a chance for us," Yantar told a local TV station after exiting Harmanli.
US-Afghan security pact collapsing after Karzai refusal

Paranoia from Soviet Union collapse haunts China's Communist Party, 22 years on
http://www.scmp.com/In the heyday of Sino-Soviet socialist brotherhood in the 1950s, Chinese liked to say that "today's Soviet Union is tomorrow's China", as Beijing faithfully followed Moscow's every footstep in development. But since the collapse of communist rule and the Soviet Union in early 1990s, the old saying has become an evil omen haunting China's communist leaders. And there are renewed shudders among the Beijing leadership following a warning from President Xi Jinping calling for the need to pay greater attention to the dramatic events in Moscow more than two decades ago. Significantly, officials ranging from top central government ministers to heads of grassroots party organs have been called on to watch a four-part DVD documentary about the historic events. The video, In Memory of the Collapse of the Communist Party and the Soviet Union, is jointly produced by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and its affiliated Research Centre of World Socialism. It tells the story on how a once great power stumbled to become a second- or third-class nation. The video blames Mikhail Gorbachev's radical moves to introduce Western-style democratic reform and to relax the party's monopoly control of ideology and also Boris Yeltsin's rush to privatise state-owned enterprises as the main reasons behind the collapse of Communist rule and the dismantling of the Soviet empire. Another new video co-produced by the National Defence University that was leaked late last month tells how the West, the United States in particular, has schemed for a Soviet-style collapse in China. Entitled The Silent Contest, the 100-minute video begins with a lament for the end of the Soviet Union, and proceeds through recent history to show the supposedly evil motives behind America's relations with China and other communist countries. General Liu Yazhou, political commissar of the military institution and son-in-law of former president Li Xiannian, produced the work.Analysts pointed out that the renewed fear of a Soviet-style nightmare in China might reflect the leadership's anxiety over slowing economic growth, rising social tensions and growing calls for political reform following the leadership transition last November. They said that whether the new generation of Chinese leaders will pursue reform in the next few years lies in how they interpret the Soviet collapse. Xi, the party's general secretary, appears more fascinated by the ideological aspects of the Soviet downfall than his predecessors. In an internal speech early this year, Xi told party officials that China must still heed the "deeply profound" lessons of the former Soviet Union, where political rot, ideological heresy and military disloyalty brought down the governing party. "Why did the Soviet Union disintegrate? Why did the Soviet Communist Party collapse?" Xi asked, according to a summary of his comments that has circulated among officials, but has not been published by the state-run news media. "An important reason was that their ideals and convictions wavered," he said. The mainland's propaganda machines have responded to Xi's call, publishing more articles warning about the possibility of a Soviet-style collapse in the last major communist-ruled state. Steve Tsang, director of the China Policy Institute at the University of Nottingham, said Xi was clearly setting out his "policy line", which is to strengthen the party's capacity and determination to adhere closely tight to the existing system, and resist any demand for democratisation or constitutional rule as understood in the West. "The sense of crisis has been reintroduced to warn the rest of the party not to be complacent and to embrace changes that he is introducing," he said. Kerry Brown, executive director of the China Studies Centre at the University of Sydney, said that although Chinese think tanks had expended huge effort and time on trying to understand why communism in the Soviet Union failed, there remains a lack of consensus over the cause. Was the most critical issue a lack of economic reform, over-hasty political reform, issues intrinsic to the structure and culture of power within the USSR, or the failure to reach consensus within the leadership? "The one point upon which most Chinese intellectuals, politicians and officials seem to agree is that, contrary to mainstream opinion in the West, the collapse was not a good thing and the results were to cost Russia and the states created out of the ruins of the USSR dearly," Brown said. He said that one of the great paradoxes of our time was that the world's second-biggest, and most dynamic, economy happens in name at least to be governed by a system that was written off two decades ago. "This is no cause for celebration in China however," Brown said. Xiaoyu Pu, a professor of political science at the University of Nevada, said that while the Communist Party had maintained its legitimacy through economic performance and nationalist mobilisation, it faces many challenges. Thus, the primary security concern of the party leaders is not national security, but regime security. "For the CCP, the collapse of the Soviet Union has always been regarded as a 'negative example'," Pu said. "The party has put a lot of energy and resources into examining what lessons the CCP could learn from the collapse of the Soviet Union." However, Pu said the implications of the documentary programmes should not be over-estimated as they "might reflect the voice of the leftist and conservative faction within the party" "It is hard to say the programmes reflect the consensus of the CCP leadership," he said. Tsang noted that the USSR lasted 69 years and the People's Republic of China had now been in existence for 64 years. In other words, the Chinese Communist Party could surpass the Soviet Communist Party during Xi's tenure. Xi has every intention to ensure the People's Republic will outlast the USSR and thus has every reason to get the Communist Party to re-learn the lessons of why their comrades failed.
Amnesty slams Qatar migrant worker exploitation
Construction companies in Qatar, which is experiencing a massive building boom ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, are involved in widespread abuse of migrant workers, according to Amnesty International.Qatar's construction sector is rife with unacceptable working conditions for migrant labourers, according to a report released by Amnesty International on Sunday. The report, titled "The dark side of migration: Spotlight on Qatar's construction sector ahead of the World Cup", details widespread abuse of migrant workers that the international human rights organisation claims often amounts to forced labour. "We have met workers that have been unpaid for many, many months, up to nine months or a year in Qatar," said James Lynch, Amnesty International's researcher on migrant workers in the Gulf, in a film accompanying the report. "Then they can't leave the country because their employer won't return their passports, won't give them an exit permit, which is required under Qatari law, won't buy them tickets," he added. These factors combined, he said, meant life in Qatar for many migrant workers was "deeply traumatic". Preparing for the 2022 FIFA World Cup The report is published as the Gulf Emirate experiences a massive construction boom ahead of hosting the 2022 FIFA World Cup. According to Amnesty International, there are now around 1.35 million foreign nationals – mostly from Asian countries including Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines and Sri Lanka – working in Qatar, making up some 94 percent of the total workforce. Nepalese workers employed by a supplier to build the FIFA headquarters in Doha told the NGO they were being "treated like cattle", with employees working up to 12 hours a day, seven days a week in Qatar's searingly hot summer months. "Please tell me - is there any way to get out of here? ... We are going totally mad," said one Nepalese construction worker, who had not been paid in seven months and prevented from leaving Qatar for three months. Amnesty researchers said they had witnessed 11 men sign papers to declare falsely that they had been paid their wages simply to get their passports back so that they could leave the country. Qatar must 'seize the opportunity' "It is simply inexcusable in one of the richest countries in the world, that so many migrant workers are being ruthlessly exploited, deprived of their pay and left struggling to survive," said Salil Shetty, Secretary General of Amnesty International. The human rights group has called on the Qatari government to "seize the opportunity" to set an example on the protection of migrant workers' rights. The organisation has also called on FIFA to work with the Qatari authorities to prevent abuses. "FIFA has a duty to send a strong public message that it will not tolerate human rights abuses on construction projects related to the World Cup," said Shetty. "But unless critical, far-reaching steps are taken immediately, hundreds of thousands of migrant workers who will be recruited in the coming years to deliver Qatar's vision face a high risk of being abused," he concluded.
The bloody disaster of Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan is laid bare
Bombs and militia violence make clear the folly of Britain's wars – the removal of law and order from a nation is devastatingForty-three people died on Friday in clashes between militias in Libya, as did 22 on Sunday from bombs in Iraq. In Helmand, a return of the Taliban to power is now confidently expected. Why should we care? Why should it feature on our news? The answer is that we helped to bring it about. Britain's three foreign wars in the past decade were uninvited military interventions to topple installed governments. All have ended in disaster. In each case – Libya, Iraq and Afghanistan – it was easy to see evil in the prevailing regime. These are bad guys that we need to go after, said the Americans. Yet the removal of law and order from a nation is devastating, however cruel that order may have been. Iraqis today repeat that, whatever the ills of Saddam Hussein, under his rule most ordinary citizens and their families could walk the streets at night without fear of murder or kidnap. Religious differences were tolerated. Iraq should have been an oil-rich modern state. Even the Kurds, scourged by Saddam in the past, enjoyed autonomy and relative peace. In each of these cases Britain and its allies, chiefly America, intervened to overthrow the army, disband government, dismantle the judiciary and leave militias to run riot. Little or no attempt was made to replace anarchy with a new order. "Nation building" was a fiasco. The British bombs that flattened government buildings in Kabul, Baghdad and Tripoli did not replace them, or those who worked in them. Those who dropped them congratulated themselves on their work and went home. It is hard to exaggerate the misery and chaos created by so-called "liberal interventionism". It is hard to think of a more immoral foreign policy, roaming the (chiefly Muslim) world, killing people and sowing anarchy. That is why the blood-stained consequence should be splashed across headlines. Those who seek political kudos by visiting violence on foreign peoples should never be allowed to forget their deeds.
Sectarian violence spreads in Pakistan after days of unrest
Sectarian violence spread in Pakistan on Monday after clashes between minority Shi'ite and majority Sunni Muslims near the capital Islamabad prompted the government to impose a curfew and block mobile phone services over the weekend. Clashes confined to areas in and around the capital at the weekend spilled over on Monday into two towns in the volatile northwest. Tensions are high this month as Shi'ites mark Muharram, an annual period of mourning which has often sparked bouts of violence. Rawalpindi, a garrison city near Islamabad, remained under curfew and tight security for three days after a Shi'ite procession on Friday degenerated into sectarian clashes which killed at least eight people. On Monday, a mob set shops on fire in a predominantly Shi'ite district in the northwestern town of Kohat in clashes that killed a policeman and a civilian, police said. Tensions were high in the northwestern city of Hangu, also subject to a curfew, local media reported. During Muharram, a period of mourning to mark the death of Imam Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Mohammed, Shi'ites hold long processions where they flagellate, beat or cut themselves to show their grief. The authorities imposed a mobile phone blackout on Rawalpindi, the seat of the Pakistani army, and parts of Islamabad over the weekend. The curfew was lifted only on Monday, but the city remained tense. Attacks on Pakistan's Shi'ites, who make up about a fifth of the 180 million population, have worsened in recent years. Most of the attacks are the work of Sunni extremists affiliated with banned groups, such as the Taliban or Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, which wants to drive all Shi'ites out of Pakistan. Hundreds of Shi'ites were killed in bombings and other attacks last year, including children gunned down on their way to school and doctors heading for work.
Deadly sectarian unrest hits Pakistan
At least three people have been killed after renewed sectarian clashes in northern Pakistan, with the army being called in to establish control over the affected areas, officials say. The violence centred on the city of Kohat, where members of the Sunni Muslim armed group Ahl-e-Sunnat Wal Jamaat held a rally on Monday to protest against the earlier killing of several Sunnis in Rawalpindi. The deaths occured after firing by unidentified assailants near a Shia Muslim mosque in the city, which is located in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province. "The activists were rallying against the Rawalpindi violence when unidentified gunmen opened fire on the procession from near a Shia mosque in the area, killing two people," Saleem Khan Marwat, district police chief, told the AFP news agency. Pakistani media, quoting local police station chief Mazhar Jaan, said that the death toll was three, including two policemen. That toll was confirmed by Fazal Naeem Khan, a local police official. Jaan said that there had been an exchange of fire between the two sides. Marwat indicated that the ASWJ activists had been fired upon, before retaliating with their own gunfire. Police and army troops later cordoned off the area and ordered markets to be closed. Troops were also called into the nearby city of Hangu, where tensions between Shia and Sunni Muslims were also high. Friday's violence in Rawalpindi erupted when a procession of Shia Muslims marking the most important day of the mourning month of Muharram coincided with a sermon at a nearby Sunni mosque. That violence resulted in nine deaths, and the imposition of a curfew in Rawalpindi, a twin city of the capital Islamabad, that was only lifted on Monday morning. A ban on gatherings of more than five people remains in force. Troops were also deployed in Rawalpindi as well as in the southern Punjab city of Multan to keep the peace on Monday. Pakistan is facing rising sectarian violence, with armed Sunni groups linked to al-Qaeda and the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan often attacking gatherings of Shias, who make up some 20 percent of the country's overwhelmingly Muslim population.
Pakistan Imposes New Curfews After Sectarian Clash
Authorities imposed curfews and deployed troops in two different areas of northwest Pakistan on Monday after three people were killed during a sectarian clash, police said. The violence occurred in Kohat city, where members of a hard-line Sunni Muslim group, Ahle Sunnat Waljamaat, were holding a rally to protest a sectarian clash in Rawalpindi city on Friday that killed 10 people, including at least eight Sunnis, said police officer Fazal Naeem Khan. Shooting broke out during Monday's rally, killing three people, including a policeman and two civilians, said Khan. It was unclear if the civilians who were killed were members of Ahle Sunnat Waljamaat. The Sunnis then clashed with police and Shiites, and several shops were set on fire, Khan said. Authorities responded by deploying troops and imposing a curfew in Kohat district and neighboring Hangu district, Khan said. The development came shortly after officials on Monday lifted a curfew in Rawalpindi that had been imposed after the clashes there on Friday, said police officer Mohammad Amir. Army troops will continue to patrol the city for several more days, and there is still a ban on more than four people assembling in one place, said Amir. The sectarian clash in Rawalpindi occurred when hundreds of Shiites were holding a procession to mark Ashoura, one of the sect's most important religious occasions. The Shiites clashed with members of an Islamic seminary affiliated with Ahle Sunnat Waljamaat. Ten people were killed in the clash and 56 were wounded, said the Rana Sanaullah, the law minister for Punjab province, where Rawalpindi is located. At least eight of the dead were Sunni Muslims. The identities of the other two were not made clear. Outbursts of sectarian violence occur regularly in Pakistan. Hard-liners from the Sunni majority who consider Shiites to be heretics have targeted the sect with bombs and shootings, with Shiite attacks on Sunnis less common, at least in recent years.

Curfew imposed in Kohat after two killed by gunmen
The Express TribuneA curfew was imposed in Kohat and Hangu after unidentified gunmen killed two people, including a police official, Express News reported on Monday. The curfew was later lifted in Hangu after situation returned to normalcy. The shooting happened in the city of Kohat while activists from the Sunni organisation Ahle Sunnat Wal Jamat (ASWJ) were demonstrating against Friday's violence in Rawalpindi which left nine people dead. "The activists were rallying against the Rawalpindi violence when unidentified gunmen opened fire on the procession from near a mosque in the area, killing two people," district police chief Saleem Khan Marwat told AFP. Another local police official, Tanweer Ahmad, confirmed the incident. Marwat said the ASWJ activists retaliated by firing bullets in the air, which sparked tension in the area. Some shops were set on fire in a market near Shah Faisal gate. Police and the army cordoned off the area and ordered markets closed. A search operation is underway.
Former president Zardari condemns violence in Rawalpindi
Former president Asif Ali Zardari has condemned the clashes in Rawalpindi on the eve of Ashura on Friday that left 10 killed and injured scores of others, and called it as barbaric and inhuman that had nothing to do with religion but was aimed at fanning sectarianism to harm the country and its people. The former president said that no words were strong enough to condemn the senseless killing and wounding of innocent people. He said he was shocked and grieved over the loss of so many lives and injuries to many others and prayed for those who lost their lives and early recovery to those injured. Zardari cautioned the people against those who were bent upon destroying peace and tranquillity of the state and society in the name of religion to achieve their nefarious agenda. "We must be conscious against the machinations of the enemies of our society who by perpetrating such acts wanted to provoke reprisals and retaliation from the aggrieved persons to further fuel the fire," he said.
Protestors force closure of several markets in Rawalpindi
Protestors shut several markets here on Monday after the curfew imposed following clashes during an Asuhra procession in the city. Protestors demonstrated against the Rawalpindi tragedy and forced the closure of shops in Raja Bazaar, Bara Market, Sabzi Mandi, Urdu Bazaar and other markets of the city. Earlier on Monday, authorities lifted the curfew which was imposed in the city on Friday. The city administration said that section 144 would remain imposed in the city, while the army would remain on standby. At least ten people were killed following clashes during the Ashura procession in the city. According to Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah, all facts regarding the tragedy would be made public and the culprits would be brought to justice.
Pakistan: Cracks in the reactionary monolith
The masses know, consciously or unconsciously, that Islamic fundamentalism and US imperialism are two sides of the same coin The statement of Munawar Hasan, chief of the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) on martyrdom and the fierce reaction by the Pakistan army reveals nothing but the rottenness of the Pakistani ruling class, its state and politics. The army quickly demanded an apology and the JI's subsequent response of "intervention in politics" by the army is quite sardonic. Historically, the JI is known as the most organised Islamic party, having close ties with the Pakistani state and US imperialism. In the decades of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, the JI was active as a vicious representative of the domestic and international right wing. Its student wing, the Islami Jamiat-e-Talaba, has always been used as a tool by the state and imperialism against left wing student organisations. After the victory of Gamal Abdul Nasser in the 1956 Suez war against Britain, France and Israel, the slogan of Arab Socialism was echoing in one country after another in the Middle East. Like the Arab Revolution of 2011, a revolutionary wave swept across the whole region in the 1950s and 1960s, sweeping aside old puppets of imperialism and replacing them with left-leaning parties and leaders in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Algeria and other Arab countries. These left wing governments under enormous pressure of the masses embarked on a process of large-scale nationalisation. This endangered imperialist interests in the Middle East, while the reactionary monarchies were trembling. To stem this revolutionary fervour against capitalism, the CIA started propping up Islamic fundamentalism. From Indonesia to Egypt, Islamic fundamentalist parties were strengthened as a counter-revolutionary force through financial and political support. The real creator of this Islamic fundamentalism was the US president Dwight Eisenhower's secretary of state, John Foster Dulles. Dulles himself was a Christian fundamentalist and pathologically detested communism. The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Nahdat-ul-Ulema (which played a key role in killing over a million communists and trade unionists in 1965) in Indonesia were contraptions of this reactionary onslaught. In Pakistan, the JI was the centre of this imperialist policy. This explains why it remained hand in glove with military dictatorships. The 1968-69 revolutionary movement of the masses in Pakistan swept across both wings of the country. But after the abdication of the movement by Maulana Bhashani and other left wing leaders, this class movement was derailed on nationalist lines and was ensnared by Mujibur Rehman's Awami League. In the civil war that followed, the atrocities and massacres of the Bengali masses committed by the Pakistan army in connivance with the vigilantes of the JI in the shape of its armed wings — Al Badar and Al Shams — were carried out with vicious brutalities against innocent people. The deep involvement of the JI in this 'Operation Blitz' is revealed in the book, The Indo-Pak War by Major General Hakeem Arshad Qureshi, who was a battalion commander in the Dinapur district of East Pakistan during the operation. He narrates: "Maulana Tufail Mohammad (Amir) of the Jamaat-e-Islami visited us after the military action...The Maulana was particularly concerned about the performance of the 'razakaars' (volunteers) belonging to his party... He jokingly remarked that his party cadres had always come to the rescue of the Army in tough situations." The first Pakistan People's Party (PPP) government embarked upon a welfare programme for the masses and reforms were introduced in health, education, transport and other sectors through massive nationalisation. The JI came out against these reforms and supported the feudals and capitalists against the PPP. The JI had the full backing of US imperialism. The JI spearheaded the Pakistan National Alliance movement against Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, which led to the military coup and hanging of Bhutto. This was organised on a religious basis and was actively supported by the Pakistani ruling classes and US imperialism. They not only supported the vicious dictatorship of Ziaul Haq but also played like a B-team of that brutal dictator. During this dark period of history, the military used the JI and its vigilantes in intimidating, arresting and torturing political activists. The Saur Revolution of April 27, 1978 in Afghanistan (18 months before the invasion of the Soviet forces) under the leadership of Noor Muhammad Tarakai of the Khalq Party threatened the interests of landlords, capitalists and imperialists in the whole region. To sabotage this revolutionary government in Kabul, which was making huge efforts for the downtrodden masses, the CIA initiated the 'Dollar Jihad', flooding the area with dollars managed by the ISI and distributed through the JI to its sister organisation Hizb-e-Islami led by Gulbadin Hikmetyar. But when huge sums of money started pouring in for this "Jihad" through smuggling of narcotics, many other obscurantist sects and organisations jumped on the bandwagon for this loot. The clergy became rich overnight and were riding SUVs instead of bicycles. With the withdrawal of the Soviet forces, imperialist funding suddenly came to an end. That was replaced by the multibillion dollar business of smuggling narcotics and arms, resulting in many of these groups not only turning against US imperialism but also against each other. Zia's generals were deeply involved in that criminal business network, but the proxies fragmented and clashed in the lust for a greater share of black money. The JI remained and still is an integral part of this harrowing orgy of bloodshed and terror. The JI's frustration with the US is in part due to dollar supplies drying up and in part due to the contradiction of the pro-US and anti-US factions of the Pakistani state, particularly within the military. In the absence of mass left wing forces, religious parties are struggling among themselves to exploit the anti-imperialist sentiments of the people. In this cutthroat competition, vitriolic statements like Munawar Hasan's are a part of that process. To recapture the intoxication of potent power enjoyed with the patronage of imperialism and the Pakistani army, the JI, a party that always remained a fifth column of the army, has come out in open conflict with an important faction of the army. However, the support of the JI and other religious parties among the masses is very fragile and limited. The masses know, consciously or unconsciously, that Islamic fundamentalism and US imperialism are two sides of the same coin. The JI is doomed either way. If it withdraws its statement it will face the wrath of religious extremists, and if it does not it will face the severe displeasure of the generals. Religious parties and US imperialism, the liberal and secular rulers are all on board on the preservation of this capitalist system because their vested interests rest in it. These conflicts are temporary and superficial. The JI and army cannot do without each other. Let us not be in any doubt; as in the past, these forces of dark reaction will unite to save this system in the wake of a rising revolutionary movement of the oppressed. The working classes will have to unite to dislodge this reactionary monolith for its emancipation and should ignore this pseudo-wrangling.

I never thought I would be sitting here writing this post. Two months ago when we started our IVF journey I kept dreaming of the next two months and the words we had waited to hear for so long...."You're pregnant". Having a family has always been our number one goal. We felt confident, we took every stride correctly. Everything had been going right. What could have gone wrong. We felt the transfer was perfect. We took the waiting period as good as we could. It was hard. Harder than any other IUI we had ever gone through. Every symptom I felt was due to the progesterone I was on. It was playing tricks on me. Evil tricks. Tricks of feeling pregnant.
We had made the mistake of testing early on a HPT. As we sat there in the bathroom waiting for the lines to show up we were overly excited. We thought we had it in the bag. We couldn't help but get excited. Then, right in front of our eyes we stared at a stick that would change our lives forever. We couldn't believe it. How could it be negative. It must have been a mistake. Maybe I didn't hold my pee long enough. Thoughts were flooding our heads. Tears started to stream down our faces. We knew it couldn't turn around. We sat down and sobbed for what seemed forever. My head started to hurt and I could feel my body tensing up from the emotions flooding my body. We didn't want to even go and get the blood test. Why the torture. We had enough.
We walked in and were greated. This time around it felt different. We felt alone and empty handed. We sat down in our usual chairs and right away we were called back. The nurse was all smiles. We were trying so hard to not show our emotions. We didn't want them to know we had cheated and tested early. As I sat in the chair I had sat in many time to get my blood drawn I felt lifeless. The nurse was talking and I couldn't even comprehend what she was saying. She finally told me we would get a call between 2:30 and 4:30. Great, even more waiting. We left hand in hand and walked to the car where we looked at each other cried again. We knew it was going to be okay. We knew everything happened for a reason. A reason we are still trying to understand.
We made the drive back home a long one hour drive. We got home and waited. We ate lunch. We ran errands to get our mind of of things. Finally, the call came in. I answered it. In the back of my head I was hanging on to a tad of hope maybe it could have changed. The nurse asked if it was a good time to talk. I could tell immediately from her voice that she was going to assure me what I had already known. "I'm so sorry but its negative". She went on about what to do from here. The doctor said we could start right away with a frozen embryo transfer. We feel blessed to have two on ice. Two expanded blasts. Two strong embryos fighting. Two embryos covered with prayer.
Its still a hard pill to swallow. It will be an emotional battle the next couple of weeks but that's okay. We have to grieve. We will NEVER give up. Its just not us. We will pick up the pieces and keep building the path we have been building. Sometimes there are cracks in a path but we will get over them. Together.
We have decided this time around we are not going to think so much about the frozen embryo transfer. We need to just let it happen. Keep living our lives as much as possible without thinking too much about everything. We are going to start walking again, keep going to acupuncture, start yoga/meditation and eating more clean. Hormones can really whack your body. I want to get my body normal again and go through this stress free and not wondering what happens next. Like I said before it will just happen.
I wanted to say thank you to all the fellow bloggers out there for all your support. You are all awesome! A special thanks to Ryann, you give me strength each day to keep on going and you are an amazing woman! We are so happy for you!
Thank you to both of our families. Your support has been AMAZING! You are the foundation we live on. Your prayers and guidance has been huge.
Last but not least, to my wonderful wife Sarah. Thank you for being there to pick up my tears when I need you the most and just hugging me. Thank you for unconditional love and support. I love you more than anything. You are my soul mate and I thank God each and everyday for allowing me to love you. I can't and couldn't see my life with any other person. I promise we will have that family we have always dreamed of. I love you buggy.
Till next time <3

I just finished reading your post and while the tears are still sliding down my cheeks, I know this is not the end for you. You are two of the strongest women I know and I know that you will keep moving forward. I know how devastating it is to have to hear those words, "not pregnant" and I know the empty feeling that lingers. It's so hard to put our bodies through such a huge stress and not have the outcome we want. I truly believe that the first fresh cycle is the hardest because of that stress. I am praying on your two little frozen babies, that they will bring together the family you have been waiting so long to have.
I am still so sorry that you had to go through this. That you had to hear those words. But I admire so much your strength and courage to continue. You helped give me the courage to try again, and I hope I can do as much for you.
Sending LOTS of hugs and prayers to you both!!

I hope you find peace and healing over the next several weeks. You are both in my thoughts and prayers. You have each other and it sounds like you have a very strong faith and belief in God. As hard as it is, everything Jhansi a reason and purpose. Trust in that and be there for each other. You will get through this and someday you will have the family you dream of!

Thank you for sharing such a difficult process. My only child was stillborn at 23 weeks in 2004 and with the grieving and picking up the pieces it took me until age 40 before I wanted to try to have another child. My wife has been so supportive. We have been trying with injectables and IUI since last summer with a fibroid removal surgery thrown in there. I just got another bfn and am crushed.
We are talking about IVF, using my wife's younger eggs and I would carry. But we can't proceed for another 18 months due to life and finances.
I am upset that I waited so long and that I may have lost my chance to have a biological child. We will try one more IUI I think. But I am thrilled with the idea of egg sharing.
IVF is wonderful as an option but I also want to remember that it isn't a guarantee, as you two are experiencing. I am so sorry.
My wife always reminds me that as strong willed as we both are, we WILL have a baby together. We WILL have our family. You two will do it too. I guess we have to somehow find peace in the fact that sometimes it just does not happen as we planned. I know from experience, it can be so very painful. But we can and will achieve our dreams no matter what.
Keeping you both in my prayers!

Dear Lexi and Sarah,
Thank you for sharing this process - as heartbreaking as it is. My wife and I have been TTC for about 2 years. We have done 8 IUIs and because of both finances and law changes regarding using an open donor in Denmark (where we live), we have had to wait and wait and wait. We hope to start ivf in October. My heart goes out to both you after this attempt. I know how much one invests of oneself in every try. Reading your blog recently, I felt so sure this would work for you and was excited to hear the result. It sounds like you are both brave and have faith in one another, the future, and something greater. Good luck with the next attempt. My thoughts are with you and I am sending all my positive energy for your success.
Best wishes,

Thank you to everyone who has left us comments. It means the world to us. I cherish all of this in my heart. I wish I could individually comment but it wont let me anymore! We will continue to go on this journey and not give up. I have learned so much on this journey and I wouldn't trade it for the world!
I have also met so many others on this journey around the world. I know one thing for sure is that no matter where we are we all face this IVF struggle in the face. I have hope for all of us!
All this love is amazing!

I have been a follower of your blog for a few months now and I too was certain that you would get good news this month. I am so very sorry to hear that things didn't go as planned. It took my wife and I 7 IUI's and nearly 3 years to get our baby girl here so I understand how heart wrenching the entire process can be. After our 6th IUI and a miscarriage at 9 weeks we took a step back to regroup. It was the best decision we could have ever made and I think your decision to rest and focus on your health is always a good thing. Keep lovin each other and keep the hope alive. I will continue to send prayers your way.

I have been thinking so much of you both over the past few days. I wish I could say something that would make this time easier, but I know that the strength you have together is more than anyone else can give you.
Know that I am still praying so hard for you and those two precious snow babies waiting for you. I look forward to positive posts about moving forward....
Thinking of you often, praying for you always, Ryann

Ryann, thank you for thinking of us. I was thinking about you as well! How are you doing?! Hope you are settling well :) I know moving can be a pain in the butt especially across the world! We are not going to give up! Ever!

Taliban attack Afghan security forces in north, killing 52
Taliban attack Afghan security forces in north, killing 52
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP)
Taliban insurgents launched separate attacks on Afghan security forces in the country's north, killing at least 52, provincial officials said Monday.
Mohammad Yusouf Ayubi, head of the provincial council in Kunduz province, said that at least 13 security forces were killed and 15 others wounded in an attack on a checkpoint they were manning in Dashti Archi district. The firefight began late Sunday and continued into Monday morning.
Meanwhile in Jawzjan province, Provincial Police Chief Gen. Faqir Mohammad Jawzjani said the Taliban attacked Khamyab district from different sides, forcing Afghan forces to withdraw from the district headquarters to avoid civilian causalities.
"There was intense fighting and we didn't want civilian houses destroyed, or any civilian casualties," said Jawzjani. He said that at least eight policemen were killed and three other police were wounded. Seven Taliban were killed and eight were wounded during the gun battle, he added.
Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid claimed responsibility for the attacks in Kunduz and Jawzjan provinces.
The Taliban also killed another 14 local Afghan policemen and pro-government militiamen in the Dara Suf district of Samangan province, provincial spokesman Sediq Azizi said, adding that six others were also wounded.
Azizi added that three Taliban fighters were killed and four others wounded during the Monday morning battle.
No one claimed responsibility for the attack in Samangan, but Azizi blamed Taliban insurgents that are active in the province and often target Afghan security forces and local, pro-government militias.
Meanwhile in the northern Sari Pul province, the provincial governor, Zahir Wahdat, said that the Taliban killed at least 17 Afghan security forces and wounded three others in attacks across the province.
He said that 39 Taliban fighters were killed and 14 others were wounded in the battles, adding that the death toll could rise.
