Group rallies against same sex marriage
AUSTIN, Texas - Conservative state leaders and their supporters rallied defending the state's constitutional ban against gay marriage.
Holding signs with wedding rings and the words biblical marriage around 250 people gathered.
"We welcome you to the Defense of Texas Marriage Amendment Rally," said Dr. Steve Hotze with the Conservative Republicans of Texas. Hotze serves as president of the group which hosted the rally.
"It's not about being anti-anyone but being for marriage between a man and a woman," said Lt. Governor Dan Patrick.
"I'm a judge and normally judges don't speak out but if I should hold back my opinions I would consider myself guilty of treason toward my country," said Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore.
Moore traveled to Texas to headline the event. He's opposed to gay marriage and recently instructed Alabama's state probate judges not to issue gay marriage licenses despite a federal court's ruling. He maintains that the states, including Texas, need to stand up to the federal government.
"No court has the authority to redefine what God proposed in Genesis," said Moore who argues nothing in the constitution gives federal courts precedent over domestic policy on family and marriage.
Moore and Rev. Bill Owens are calling for Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan to recuse themselves from the upcoming decision the U.S. Supreme court will make on gay marriage.
Meanwhile inside the Capitol Equality Texas lobbied lawmakers on issues surrounding gay rights. Monday marked family advocacy day for the organization.
"This is an active session in terms of positive and negative legislation," said Chuck Smith with Equality Texas.
"We think this is going to happen and we will have full equality at some point in our life time and I'm not sure we always thought that," said Andy Miller. Miller and his partner Brian Stephens brought their son Clark, 8, who they have raised together since birth. "We feel this is the last gasp of prejudice and bigotry. It never goes away completely but we feel the momentum is on the side of equality," added Miller.
Miller and Smith will continue to push for gay-friendly bills at the legislature while they await a decision from the Supreme Court.
Decisions, pending the outcome, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton say he'll continue to fight. "My office will continue to fight and thank you for what you're doing," said Paxton who asked for prayers.

Natal Astrology Series: Saturn In Your Birth Chart
Saturn will always be the greater malefic regardless of how we reframe it. It always brings about challenges, whether it is for the better or worse; it dispenses its blessings, lessons and grace through delays and hardships, or in some sort of harm. "What does not kill you, strengthen you." is a Saturnian adage. In this series, we will talk about your Saturn sign, Saturn in the houses and its aspects to your planets in the chart. If you are new to astrology, you can check your Saturn placement by clicking the following sites, Astrodienst and Astroseek.
Saturn's sign is important when we want to determine on whether the houses Saturn rules are beneficial or harmful to the native. Since Saturn is the greater malefic, Saturn's essential dignity and with it receiving your Ascendant ruler and/or the Moon is imperative when we interpret charts.
Saturn in Capricorn: Saturn is powerful in its nocturnal home Capricorn. In this earth sign, Saturn endows natives with a cautious and methodical mind. Natives are ambitious and possess the capacity for extreme hard work and endurance with Mars as Saturn's exaltation ruler. With Saturn at home and if unimpeded, there is the promise of career advancement and financial progress, albeit some delays and hardships. Saturn in dignity ruling malefic houses augurs extreme hardships on those areas unless Saturn receives the Ascendant ruler. For those born during the day, Saturn's constructive qualities are on the fore, such as clarity, patience, perseverance, ethical awareness, and the capacity to establish strong personal boundaries. We attribute Saturn's desire to gain in Venus's triplicity rulership. Natives of nocturnal birth may experience problems with the father or authority figures and lack of self-esteem. The Moon as Saturn's triplicity ruler and Saturn as the sect malefic brings about the risk of depression should it aspect the Moon and/or Mercury.
Saturn in Aquarius: Saturn is in the sign of its joy in Aquarius. It rejoices in the sign as not only it is in domicile but also in its triplicity. The heat and moisture of the sign diminishes Saturn's malice, thus in Aquarius, it harms and impedes less. In this airy sign, Saturn endows natives with powerful intellectual capacity that leads them to advance in whatever they set their minds to. These natives can be obstinate and are excellent critical thinkers. Saturn in dignity ruling malefic houses augurs extreme hardships on those areas unless Saturn receives the Ascendant ruler. Individuals born during the day would benefit from the houses Saturn rules should he receive the Ascendant ruler. While for those born at night suggest hardships unless there is reception with Ascendant ruler. Mercury further strengthens the intellect, endows eloquence, creativity and adaptability to Saturn, thus natives are less stubborn than their diurnal counterpart.
Saturn in Pisces: In Pisces, Saturn is peregrine, so it will rely on Jupiter and Venus for support. With Saturn, the planet of limitation and restrictions in the house of Jupiter (ruling expansion, faith, religion, spirituality, higher education) and Venus (ruling romantic affairs, sex, fun, luxury) issues on the lack of personal boundaries, love affairs, faith and religiosity, and finances will be on the fore.
Saturn in Aries: Aries is the sign of Saturn's fall and with Mars and the Sun ruling Saturn, natives may experience troubles in setting or observing personal boundaries, impatience, and ruthlessness. It augurs delays and setbacks in career and reputation. There is a mitigation of affliction for those born during the day, as natives can establish effective personal boundaries and possess the capacity in setting realistic goals. These natives are ambitious and driven. The Sun ruling Saturn suggests natives crave recognition and advancement. However, with Saturn in fall and in the sign ruled by the fiery sect malefic Mars, natives are liable to anger, impatience, ruthlessness, and impulsiveness. Natives of nocturnal birth may suffer from low self-esteem and lack of personal boundaries with Saturn as the sect malefic.
Saturn in Taurus: Although peregrine, Saturn is quite comfortable in Taurus, as both are cold and dry. In this fixed sign, Saturn is extremely obstinate, thus it endows natives with a firm mind, stability of character and capacity for long-term focus. As a malefic, Saturn in this sign delays gratification and frustrates romance. The placement produces problems related to greed and avarice. Venus' and the Moon's rulership over Taurus inclines Saturn to seek comfort and luxury, thus natives with this placement may work hard to feel secure. Venus' influence on Saturn strengthens for those of diurnal birth, and this suggests of the native's inclination towards material achievement. For those born at night, the Moon takes the helm as the exaltation and triplicity ruler of Saturn, and this suggests of natives seeking emotional fulfillment and stability.
Saturn in Gemini: Saturn performs well in Gemini, especially for those born during the day with him as its triplicity ruler. As a malefic, Saturn brings about challenges and delays in communication. With Gemini ruling the hands, there could be problems with the eye-hand coordination. With Mercury ruling Saturn, especially for those born at night, natives possess a brilliant mind capable of deep and thorough analysis. The placement suggests that natives seek advancement in matters related to education, science, technology, trade and commerce.
Saturn in Cancer: In Cancer, Saturn is in the sign of its detriment as it is opposite its home Capricorn. Although it suffers debility in this sign, Saturn is quite comfortable because it has an affinity with Cancer as both share the quality of coldness. The abundance of moisture and the lack of heat which we attribute to Cancer and its ruler the Moon intensify Saturn's coldness. From those factors, Saturn acts as a potent malefic when in this sign. Saturn brings about difficulties in the native's relationship with the parents, especially with the mother. Alternatively, it also suggests the vulnerable physical vitality of the parents. The placement shows problems at home and challenges in the native's own family. Regarding the natives' traits, individuals with this Saturn are observably deep and highly intuitive. However, the Moon's rulership over Saturn creates an emotional roller coaster experience, thus natives may report feelings of extreme highs and lows. In the same way, the natives are susceptible to the cyclical nature of fortune. For those born during the day, Jupiter as the sect benefic, and his exaltation rulership over Saturn eases the affliction. Jupiter's influence makes natives helpful and generous. Jupiter and/or the Moon in their dignities and aspect/s Saturn supports worldly advancement and financial gains. Natives born night are liable to Saturn's malice with him as the sect malefic.
Saturn in Leo: In Leo, Saturn is in the sign of its detriment as it is opposite its home Aquarius. Unlike in Cancer, there is at least a mitigation of Saturn's ice-cold malice, by being in a hot and dry sign. However, in this fixed and barren sign, there is an excess of dryness. Similar to those with Saturn in Aries, natives with this placement are ambitious, hardworking, and crave recognition. They possess effective leadership and managerial skills. The excessive dryness suggests callousness and extreme self-preservation, thus natives are prone to dictatorial and narcistic tendencies. The placement suggests the natives may have had experienced or will have their reputations tarnished. They struggle with control, making them susceptible to overstepping boundaries and breach of ethics. For those born during the day, the Sun's influence strengthens and endows natives with excellent leadership skills and the ability to get ahead in life. However, the heat of the day augments the individuating dryness, and this makes natives prone to disregard other's needs and feelings. With Saturn as the sect malefic, individuals born at night may suffer from the lack of confidence. Jupiter, the planet of expansion, as the nocturnal triplicity ruler of Saturn suggests of the natives liability to overstepping of boundaries and breaching of ethics.
Saturn in Virgo: Saturn and the sign of Virgo have a lot in common. Aside from sharing the quality of cold and dry, the stereotypical hypercritical nature of Virgo is synonymous with Saturn's reputation as the harshest and overbearing teacher. In this earthy, mercurial, human, rational and social sign, Saturn impresses upon the natives the importance of discipline, precise planning, practicality, strict attention to detail, clear communication and logic. Saturn in Virgo brings about hyperrationality, thus there will be challenges in expressing emotions and establishing personal relationships. With Virgo a barren sign, there is also an excess of individuating dryness. For those born during the day, Saturn's pragmatism and hypercritical tendencies become apparent. Venus' triplicity rulership enhances the native's eye for beauty, but with Venus fallen in Virgo, manifests as a strong desire for order and perfection. These natives or the people surrounding the natives may display the listed traits. The Moon as Saturn's nocturnal triplicity ruler softens the Saturnian harshness and suggests of the native's practical and helpful nature. These individuals are unassuming and self-effacing. However, these individuals are very self-critical and may suffer from hypochondriasis with Saturn as the sect malefic.
Saturn in Libra: Saturn is the almuten of Libra as it has the most rulership over the sign. In the sign of the scales, Saturn is in its exaltation and is the sign's diurnal triplicity ruler. It also possesses term, triplicity and face rulership in Libra. From these, we can say that Saturn takes the helm as Libra's ruler, thus it is a critical planet to monitor for natives born with a prominent Libra placement in the chart. With Saturn in near excellent condition, natives benefit from this placement. Saturn in Venus' airy domicile endows impartiality, foresight, grace, tact, and diplomacy. The placement is also excellent for getting ahead in the corporate and political spheres. However, as a malefic, it brings about challenges and delays in romance and marriage. People born during the day benefit with Saturn receiving the Ascendant ruler while it can be quite challenging with its powerful dignity should Saturn rule malefic houses, not receive and hate the Lord of the Ascendant (if the ruler of the Ascendant is in Aries, Cancer, and Leo). Saturn as the nocturnal sect malefic impresses upon the natives' autocratic tendencies. Mercury's influence on Saturn as the nocturnal triplicity ruler endows eloquence and cleverness.
Saturn in Scorpio: Saturn in the fixed watery sign of Mars suggests natives feel deeply and intensely. Individuals are discrete, perceptive, probing, and calculating. It endows a powerful curiosity in medicine/healing, psychology, paranormal, and the occult. As a malefic, Saturn pushes the natives to emotionally intense and traumatic experiences. For those born during the day, Mars as the sect malefic makes natives liable to anger and impulsiveness but also makes the natives willful. Venus' triplicity rulership suggests of the native's desire to gain, but with it in detriment in Scorpio manifests as a predisposition to possessiveness, jealousy and envy. Mars takes the helm as the domicile and triplicity ruler of Saturn, and this makes natives stealthy and cunning. However, with Saturn as the sect malefic predisposes natives in bottling up emotions and as a result, may suffer from painful explosions later.
Saturn in Sagittarius: Saturn in the diurnal sign of Jupiter either adds depth of devotion to spirituality or makes natives skeptical of it. The placement endows talents in the sciences, law, religion, academe and research. However, at some point, this will bring troubles with legalities or the natives may get in the trouble with the law. Saturn strengthens the skepticism and with Jupiter as the diurnal sect benefic protects from lawsuits. For those born at night, Jupiter takes the helm as Saturn's domicile and triplicity ruler. Jupiter's powerful rulership over Saturn inclines natives to spirituality. It also endows natives with a philosophical bent and powerful interest in learning. With Saturn as the sect malefic, natives will learn lessons related to boundaries and limit setting. These natives are prone to blind, proselytizing faith.
In this section, we will discuss Saturn in the Houses. Saturn as the planet of challenges, delays and obstacles will bring these to the topics the houses signify.
Saturn in the Ascendant or the First House: Saturn in the Ascendant suggests people see natives as serious and mature. Discipline and responsibility come to them easily. These people in their early years may have suffered a lot from depraved, painful and challenging circumstances. These natives are self-critical and lack self-esteem. However, for these natives, life gets better with time. Saturn in the Ascendant is beneficial and fortunate for those born with Capricorn, Aquarius and Libra Rising. Here, Saturn's placement endows robust constitution and the potential to advance in life. Saturn in detriment and fall (Cancer, Leo, and Aries) in the Ascendant suggests of feeble health early in life.
Saturn in the Second House: Saturn in the Second House requires a lot of hard work and discipline with material gains. These natives can either be cautious with their finances or be the spendthrifts. Depending on Saturn's essential dignity, natives experience the cycle of gains and loss in financial and material matters.
Saturn in the Third House: Potential contention with siblings or the siblings may become a burden for the natives. The placement could also manifest as the natives and his/her sibling/s living independently and separately from each other. Since the Third House is the house of communication, there could be developmental delays in learning and speaking. This placement may also show stuttering.
Saturn in the Fourth House: Traditional texts tell us that Saturn and the Fourth House are similar in their significations as both rule over real estate, agriculture, parents, ancestors, endings and old age. From this, we can say Saturn's placement here is fortunate for topics we associate with the Fourth House. However, as a malefic, the placement suggests contention within the family or within the clan. It also may show issues during childhood, on real estate and the health of one or both of the parents, especially if Saturn is not in an excellent state and is suffering affliction. Should Saturn be strong in dignity and/or receiving the Ascendant ruler, there is a promise of gains from real estate, agriculture, mining and from familial inheritance.
Saturn in the Fifth House: The placement augurs issues, challenges and delays with romance, child-bearing, children, sex and in speculation. If Saturn is in its dignities and receiving the Ascendant ruler, there is a mitigation regarding problems on those topics and natives may gain from such.
Saturn in the Sixth House: Saturn brings about issues regarding chronic illnesses, relationship with colleagues or co-workers. It also shows responsibilities and challenges related to owning small pets. Here, we would rather see the Ascendant ruler more powerful in terms of essential and accidental dignity than Saturn. Saturn should receive the Lord of the Ascendant should there be an aspect in between the two if we ought to judge robust constitution and natives being fortunate regarding Sixth House topics. If not in aspect, we also judge robustness of health. However, the native may be impersonal with his or her relationship with co-workers.
Saturn in the Seventh House/Descendant: Challenges, delays and issues concerning marriage, partnerships, and legalities are the potential outcomes of this placement. Saturn in one of his essential dignities in the Seventh House suggests a powerful partner and/or powerful, persistent enemies. The concept of reception between the Ascendant, Saturn and the Seventh House ruler is even more important in delineating friendship or enmity. Saturn receiving both the Ascendant and Seventh House, and the Ascendant and the Seventh House ruler receiving each other offers stable, long-lasting partnerships, and mutually beneficial resolutions in legal concerns. The partner will only benefit if there is only a reception between the Seventh House ruler and Saturn. Likewise, with Saturn receiving the Ascendant ruler, the natives only benefit from the Seventh House topics. Saturn harming the Lord of the Ascendant suggests thematic instabilities in partnerships and liability to lawsuits if natives are not careful.
Saturn in the Eighth House: There are challenges, delays, and issues concerning other people's money. In the Chaldean order of the planets, these ancients associate Saturn with the Eighth House. From a symbolic perspective, this relationship makes sense as Saturn and the Eighth House share the concepts of liabilities, death, and the occult. Here, there could be bodily harm should Saturn aspect the Ascendant Lord, especially with a hard aspect, without reception and from a place where the Lord of the Ascendant is in fall or in detriment. It can also endow the native's powerful interest in the occult. Some astrological text suggests that this placement is fortunate for gaining financially from insurance settlements and wills. However, this could also manifest as problems in handling the finances, especially the predisposition to incurring, and problems in managing debts. The placement may also show as the native's partner having trouble with financial matters.
Saturn in the Ninth House: Saturn, in the house of God, dampens the native's interest in spirituality, as there is a predilection to atheism; the least as a strong skeptic of religion and spirituality. However, it could also signify asceticism, especially with Saturn in one of its major essential dignities and receiving the Lord of the Ascendant. Saturn in the Ninth House strengthens the native's logical and analytical faculties. As a result, the placement endows talents in research, the academe, and the law (career advancement if it is the native's profession), especially if there is a reception between Saturn, the Lord of the Ninth House, and the Lord of the Ascendant. Saturn, harming the Lord of the Ascendant, suggests troubles with the law. It could also impress upon the natives the "god is cruel" experience and mentality.
Saturn in the Tenth House/Midheaven: For those with Capricorn Rising, Saturn's placement in the Tenth House is fortunate in personal, financial, and career matters. However, for other signs, this placement brings about challenges, frustrations, and issues in dealing with their parents, authority figures, and delays in getting ahead in one's career. Saturn in detriment or fall in the Tenth House suggests natives may experience a tarnish in their reputation. The placement of an afflicted Saturn in the Tenth House predisposes natives to dictatorial tendencies.
Saturn in the Eleventh House: There will be challenges, delays, frustrations, and issues in the realization of hopes and wishes. Saturn also puts a strain in the natives' friendship and the capacity to widen one's social circle. Saturn, in one of his major essential dignity here and receives the ruler of the Ascendant, suggests association and gains from people of eminence and wealth. Saturn harming the ruler of the Ascendant suggests loss of friends, or the natives may suffer from ill-repute.
Saturn in the Twelfth House: Saturn rejoices in this house as both signify sorrow, trials, and loss. However, there could be a mitigation and there are gains in topics associated with this house if Saturn is in its major essential dignity and receiving the Ascendant ruler. Loss and tribulation is a life theme if Saturn harms the Lord of the Ascendant.
Saturn hinders but also stabilizes the expression of planets. As most astrologers would say, "Saturn gets better with time.", as it also acts like a trust-fund manager where it controls the time of expression or manifestation of the planet it aspects. In this segment, we will discuss Saturn's aspects to your natal planets. Here, we will only use the Ptolemaic aspects and will not include Uranus, Neptune and Pluto in the interpretation.
Natal Sun-Saturn: In the Thema Mundi, the Sun and Saturn are enemies as they rule houses opposite each other. It is for this reason that regardless of the aspect, there is always a tension between the two planets. The aspect of these planets suggests of the character of the native's father and how the person deals with authority figures. The Sun conjunct/square/opposite Saturn makes natives serious and mature. Since the Sun rules vitality and the spirit, natives may feel either sober or lethargic. In extremely afflicted cases, the placement may show depression and hopelessness. These natives early in their life may be shy, but this confidence and sense of authority develops as time goes by. The hard aspects suggest of the native's tense relationship with the father or authority figures. For those with Sun sextile/trine Saturn, natives naturally exude authority and possess leadership skills. The father or authority could be supportive and encouraging to the natives.
Natal Moon-Saturn: Once more in the Thema Mundi, the Moon and Saturn are enemies as they rule houses opposite each other. It is for this reason that regardless of the aspect, there is always a tension between the two planets. I think that the aspect of the Moon and Saturn is critical (more important than the Sun) when assessing charts as the Moon co-rules the native's mind and body, and Saturn is the significator of hardships, limitations, and death. Since the Moon also has rulership over women and mothers, the Moon's aspect to Saturn colors and adds depth to the roles and characteristics of women in the native's life. The hard aspects such as conjunction, square and opposition of the Moon and Saturn suggest tension or a difficult relationship with the mother or with women. The mother may be strict, controlling, or indifferent. It can also show emotional callousness or that natives suffering from vexations of the mind. These natives are tough, independent, and have an ironclad will. For those who have trine and sextile Saturn, natives are rational, disciplined, and calm under pressure. They have an innate sense of responsibility and are stoic in the face of adversity. The natives mother may be the pillar of strength of the native. It may also show that their mothers are responsible and career-oriented.
Natal Mercury-Saturn: Saturn and Mercury are similar, yet they are also different. They are similar as these planets share the qualities of cold and dry. The relationship between Mercury and Saturn is platonic; it is friendly but impersonal, or perhaps transactional. In the Thema Mundi, we see this relationship between Saturn and Mercury in the aspects of the signs they rule. Virgo is trine Capricorn, while Gemini is contra-antiscia to Capricorn. Likewise, Aquarius is trine Gemini but is averse to Virgo. From those, we can say that the aspect augurs pragmatism and detachment. The slowing influence of Saturn makes natives deliberate, scrupulous, and calculating. Mercury's conjunction, trine, and sextile with Saturn suggest natives are quiet and logical. However, when they decide to talk, these natives are forthright, concise, and a matter-of-fact. It also shows the natives' inclination and talent in mathematics and the sciences. Natives with Mercury square or opposing Saturn suggest communication and developmental delays early in their lives. However, it can also show potential character flaws as it pertains to lack of discretion, dishonesty, prejudice, and inflexibility.
Natal Venus-Saturn: In western traditional astrology, the relationship between Venus and Saturn is inimical. However, as per Vedic texts, Venus is Saturn's intimate confidant. Among the two, I lean on the latter. One testimony regarding the fruitful relationship between Saturn and Venus is Saturn's exaltation in Libra. In Libra, Saturn receives preferment from Venus as seen in the multitude of essential dignity Saturn gains in the sign. Venus also does not suffer fall and detriment in the signs Saturn rules. We can see the supportive and guarding relationship of Venus and Saturn as Venus aspects all of Saturn's houses and likewise Saturn aspects all of Venus' houses (viz. Libra trine (signifies perfect friendship) Aquarius; Capricorn trine Taurus; Libra square (signifies partial enmity) Capricorn; Aquarius square Taurus). Both planets also share the quality cold and Venus complements the Saturnian dryness with moist. The Moon also offers this kind of support as it is a cold and moist planet but again, the Moon naturally opposes Saturn. Even with difficult aspects, Venus and Saturn will always help each other. The difficult aspect between Venus-Saturn suggests natives experience frustrations and delays in romance and marriage but does not entirely deny joy and fulfillment. In financial matters, the aspect manifests as susceptibility to the cycles of gains and loss. Natives with Venus conjunct, trine and sextile with Saturn offers stability and longevity in romance. The positive aspects soften the Saturnian edges and help natives advance in life.
Natal Mars-Saturn: The aspect between these planets are challenging as they are the malefics. Although both share the quality of dryness, their primary qualities clash – Saturn is predominantly cold while Mars is predominantly hot. Regarding the Thema Mundi, they either help or harm each other as seen in the aspects of the signs they rule (viz. Scorpio sextile (signifies partial friendship) Capricorn; Aquarius sextile Aries; Capricorn square (signifies partial enmity) Aries and Scorpio square Aquarius). Albeit Mars and Saturn aspect each other's houses, the relationship by essential dignity between these planets sets it apart from the relationship between Saturn and Venus. Mars is in the sign of its exaltation and has term and face rulership in Capricorn, while Saturn suffers a fall in Aries and does not have a major essential dignity in Scorpio. It is only in Capricorn that Mars and Saturn perfectly cooperate. Regardless of the aspect, Mars-Saturn contact in the natal chart endows a dominant personality, a powerful will, and immense determination. These natives are resilient, and hardships even make them better. Things are quite easier and smooth flowing for those with Mars trine or sextile Saturn. They possess remarkable discipline and organizational skills. The combination produces excellent tacticians and strategists. While hard aspects such as conjunction, square and opposition makes natives intense and aggressive. Anger and ruthlessness can be problems. Frustrations can result as Saturn holds back while Mars pushes.
Natal Jupiter-Saturn: Jupiter is the complete anti-thesis of Saturn. Jupiter is the principle of expansion while Saturn is of contraction. By quality, Jupiter is warm and moist while Saturn is cold and dry. The adage "One step forward, two steps backward." is how this contact manifests. I think the quality of the signs they are in is crucial when we interpret Jupiter and Saturn. Jupiter and Saturn agrees when they are conjunct and trine in the air signs as Jupiter is of the air element and is the participating triplicity ruler of the air trigon, while Saturn owns two signs (Libra and Aquarius) and is the diurnal triplicity ruler of the air triplicity. Saturn benefits while Jupiter suffers in earth signs as not only it is contrary to its quality but in the earthy signs of Virgo and Capricorn is where he suffers detriment and fall. While Jupiter performs well in the fire signs, Saturn takes the hard hit. In water signs, Jupiter has the upper hand over Saturn as it has domicile and exaltation rulership in the signs of Pisces and Cancer, respectively. Jupiter sextile Saturn supports steady growth and progress in life. When Jupiter trines Saturn in earth signs, natives prosper materially but also augments much responsibilities. Jupiter trine Saturn in water and air signs promotes mental well-being, enriches the native's intellect and is excellent for creative endeavors. The trine of Jupiter and Saturn in fire signs promotes freedom. However, there could be problems with limit setting and personal boundaries. The aspect portends the transience of things in the native's life. Jupiter's and Saturn's square and opposition portends gain from one area of life at the expense of the other.

POSCO is setting up a humongous steel complex in the eastern Indian state of Orissa with the total investment of $12 billion.The project which was initiated in 2005 is supposed to get completed in 2016.But the huge industrial project which was hyped as generating lots of jobs for this impoverished state has generated huge controversy.The biggest problem for this project has been land acquisition which is going to displace thousands of poor tribals and farmers.This has led to massive protests leading to police firings resulting in lots of people dead.The company and the government have failed to win the trust of the displaced people as the rehabilitation and compensation has proven to be woefully inadequate.Now the project has run into another major problem with the federal government stopping the project completely .
India's rapid economic growth has led to billions of dollars of profits for the major industrial groups.These conglomerates are further expanding into India's hinterland exploiting the rich mineral resources.Recent power and mining projects have seen massive protests.A mega coal plant was stopped as corporate compliant police force fired on protesting villagers.Environmental NGOs like Greenpeace are also facing legal attacks as they publicize the ecological degradation.POSCO the South Korean Steel Giant which is the 3rd largest producer globally has found to be violating the Forests Act.The project will lead to destruction of over 2000 hectares of forests leading to annihilation of tribals dependent on these forests.The Union Environment Ministry has ordered a complete stop despite vehement opposition from the state government.The state chief minister Patnaik sent a strongly worded letter to the Prime Minister saying that the project will lead to prosperity.I think that it would be better if the Chief Minister was able to convince the displaced people that they would be adequately compensated over their lost livelihood.
Orissa officials Saturday stopped the land acquisition process for South Korean steel major POSCO's $12 billion project in Jagatsinghpur district, two days after the union environment and forests ministry asked it to stop all work on the project.
'We have stopped the land acquisition process today (Saturday) till an indefinite period. We are awaiting further instruction from the state government,' a senior district official told IANS.
The central government Thursday asked the state government to stop all work, including land acquisition, related to the project due to violation of the Forest Rights Act (FRA).
The ministry said its decision was based on the recommendation of a joint panel of the environment and tribal affairs ministries.
According to the panel which visited the proposed site last month, land acquisition work related to the project which started July 27 is a violation of the FRA and the conditions laid down by the environment ministry on forest clearance.


LONDON: Britain has blocked efforts by oil major Royal Dutch Shell to settle a $2.3 billion debt it owes Iran by paying in kind with grains or pharmaceuticals, industry sources said.
Shell has been trying for months to find a way to work around international sanctions that prevent it paying in currency for crude it bought from the National Iranian Oil Company before a European Union embargo on Iran that started last July.
The sources said the British government was reluctant to provide relief for the Iranian economy when Western powers are using sanctions to apply financial pressure on Tehran to dismantle its nuclear programme.
"The view is that doesn't make sense to smooth the way for a payment that helps Iran when government is trying to press Iran to negotiate," said an industry source.
Talks earlier this month between Iran and six world powers including Britain failed to make progress in resolving a decade-old dispute around Iran's nuclear progress. Another round of negotiations has been scheduled for May 21.
The industry sources said Shell in February explored with the British government the possibility of asking British pharmaceuticals maker GSK to deliver medicines to Iran in a payment-in-kind deal known as an offset agreement.
GSK said it had not been approached or held any discussions on the matter. Shell declined comment.
In October, the Anglo-Dutch oil company sought permission for an offset agreement that would have seen US agricultural trader Cargill deliver grain to Iran.
Meetings were held with Cargill but, said the industry sources, the proposal was turned down by the British government. Cargill and Shell both declined comment at the time.
The sources said the oil company wanted to repay its debt to NIOC to maintain cordial relations with Iran, one of the biggest producers in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.
"Politics come and go but it's in the interests of Shell and its shareholders to pay its debts and maintain a relationship with a leading oil producer like Iran," said one of the sources.
Iranian oil in 2012.Unlike its rivals, Shell continued trading with Iran under a provision for pre-existing contracts close to the EU's June 30 deadline before the embargo. The debt is for oil purchased in 2011 and 2012.
Iran's oil revenues have fallen by about 50 percent since sanctions were imposed last year, and regional economists believe it has been forced to draw on its foreign reserves to help buy essentials like grains.
But with an estimated $100 billion of foreign reserves at the start of 2012, thanks to high oil prices, the Iranian economy is far from collapse.
The International Monetary Fund said last week that while sanctions had frozen Iran out of the international banking system, Tehran was avoiding a balance-of-payments crisis and should emerge from recession in 2014.
Food and medicine are among the humanitarian goods not barred by US and European sanctions but, isolated from international banking, Iran has been forced to pay a premium for grain imports.
Washington has tried to restrict countries like China, India, South Korea and Japan that still buy Iranian oil to paying for shipments by the barter of approved goods – including food and medicine.
US sanctions state that funds used to pay for oil must remain in a bank account in the purchasing country and can be used only for non-sanctioned, bilateral trade between that country and Iran. Any bank that repatriates the money or transfers it to a third country faces a US sanction risk.
Nevertheless, said the industry sources, it appears the British government would rather Iran be obliged to spend foreign reserves or use oil revenues to barter for essential imports than benefit from shipments of humanitarian goods paid for by Shell debt.

Fighting Africa's illegal poaching trade is difficult and dangerous; saving the lives of animals from poachers is even harder. The world's overall population of African elephants drops by one animal every 15 minutes. From a peak population of more than two million, the last 100,000 African forest elephants alive today are on track to be eliminated by poaching for ivory and bush meat within the next decade. Staff limitations at Africa's national parks make it all the more difficult to catch poachers.

The Breakroom
What to Expect From Marzipan
By Craig Hockenberry
It's clear that this year's WWDC is going to be a doozy. We've written here previously with our thoughts about Dark Mode, now it's time to talk about iOS apps coming to the Mac.
Of course I'm talking about Marzipan, a technology Apple introduced with few details during last year's Keynote. We knew that some apps in Mojave used the new technology and that was about it.
The iOS version of Twitterrific running on macOS thanks to Marzipan.
Thanks to the hard work of Steve Troughton-Smith, we have a much clearer view of what's happening behind the scenes with application architecture and available APIs.
What I'm going to focus on today is how this new technology will affect product development, design, and marketing. I see many folks who think this transition will be easy: my experience tells me that it will be more difficult than it appears at first glance.
For the past year, I've been working on a new product that runs natively on three operating systems: iOS, tvOS, and macOS. As a result, I feel like I can talk with some authority on the differences between these platforms. My biggest takeaway from this project is how different interaction models have a ripple effect throughout a product.
(We're not ready to talk about this project in public yet, but Patreon supporters are getting sneak peeks.)
A Little Bit of History
Before we get into the interaction details, let's take a look at tool and framework transitions on the Macintosh. Marzipan may be something new, but it's certainly not a first.
I'm old enough to have been around when the Mac first shipped: in 1984 you could buy some floppy disks to write code in Pascal or 68K assembly code. After a few years, the way you made these revolutionary computer interfaces evolved into MPW, the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop.
Fast forward a few years and things had moved on to a new language and tools. Many folks were using CodeWarrior and C++ to build their Mac apps. I developed the Iconfactory's first software product using this environment.
The modern era then arrived with NeXTSTEP in the year 2000. It brought an unfamiliar language called Objective-C, a new IDE called Project Builder, and awesome new frameworks named Foundation and AppKit. These tools have served the Mac well for many years and even provided a foothold for iOS with UIKit in 2007.
And now a modern macOS toolkit will include Swift, UIKit, and Marzipan. Or, as we like to call it, Chameleon 2.0 :-)
As you can see, the stuff that you use to build Mac apps has changed radically over the past 35 years – but it's important to note what hasn't changed during that same period of time. You still use a bitmap display for output with a keyboard and mouse for input. The interaction model has changed, but only slightly. There are enhancements and refinements, like trackpads and gestures, but a Mac is completely usable using nothing but the basic concepts that were laid down by the original team.
It's All About the Interaction
It's likely that getting your iOS app to run on a Mac will just be a matter of flipping a switch in Xcode. Steve Troughton-Smith has been converting apps using nothing more than a Simulator build, his marzipanify tool, and a lot of clever tweaks with frameworks.
It will be exciting for a lot of developers, including yours truly, to press that button. But it's also important to temper this enthusiasm with reality: that build setting is just the first step on a long and complicated road. Good interaction doesn't come for free.
As you saw above, the Mac has seen a lot of tool and framework transitions. But this is the first transition which involves a large group of developers who don't have any experience on the platform they're targeting. A Mac developer moving from CodeWarrior and C++ to Project Builder and Objective-C didn't have to learn anything new about conventions: they were still on a Mac. That can't be said about iOS developers who are starting to use Marzipan.
In the early days of the iPhone, there were many apps developed by folks who brought their sensibilities from Windows or the Mac to a new platform. Those apps felt wrong and have largely disappeared because everyone has figured out that different interactions are needed for a small, handheld device. Don't let the same thing happen when you bring your iOS expertise to a Mac.
If you've been developing on iOS for any period of time, you've probably had the "flip a switch" experience when starting an iPad app. It's fairly easy to get things up and running, but then you realize that there are a lot of design and code changes needed for a larger screen. You'll start reworking things with master/detail views and auto layout constraints. You might even need to adapt your app to support input from a Smart Keyboard.
Look at how many user interface idiom checks you have and you'll start to get an idea of what lies ahead for a macOS app. If you're someone who's decided that an iPad version of your app is too much extra work, you'll likely think the same thing about all the conditional checks required for a Mac.
Many of the thoughts in this essay got their start while developing a tvOS app: I found that having a common user interface toolkit wasn't much help. It's nice to have familiar UIKit items like UIImage, UIColor, and UIButton, but in the end I found that little code was shared between platforms. Some views could be ported directly between platforms, but anything involving a controller was out of the question. Why?
Put simply, the interaction on a TV app consists of six things happening: up, down, right, left, select, and back. Pointing anywhere on screen is not an option: your controller has to guide the customer around as they use these simple interactions. Code to navigate between buttons and collection view items is entirely different. Similarly, UIKit on macOS won't magically solve your problems when someone wants to use the tab or arrow keys to navigate views in your iOS codebase.
You'll face similar issues when you encounter a customer who needs to select multiple items by dragging a mouse, open a context menu with the right mouse button, use a keyboard shortcut to make their work quicker, or customize function keys for common actions.
How do you drag a selection when your code assumes that pointing at the screen is to facilitate scrolling? Is a right mouse click like detecting a different finger? Is there going to be a new mechanism for defining keyboard shortcuts and creating items in the menu bar? Will there even be a way to link in Carbon event callbacks?
I don't know the answers any of these questions, but I can guarantee that these new interactions will require additional work in your app.
It's also likely that you'll suddenly find classes like UIResponder a lot more important. Routing events through your app becomes more difficult when they have to pass between multiple view and window instances, a menu bar, and an application delegate.
To get an idea of the scope of the project you're about to embark on, I would suggest getting a head start by reading the macOS Human Interface Guidelines (HIG). These guidelines have been around since the original Mac, are easy to understand, and provide a valuable reference for every Mac developer.
How is this standard macOS control going to work on iOS?
Besides learning what you don't know, you'll also get a chance to think about how something simple and familiar on the Mac, like the pop-up button, might be implemented for both iOS and macOS. That simple control doesn't have any analog on iOS, but someday it will, and you'll be using it for code on two platforms.
Coders will not be the only ones affected by Marzipan. As a designer, you're going to face challenges, too.
The guidelines mentioned above should be your first stop: there isn't any code and the descriptions often have great visual examples.
The most obvious design element that will change as you move from iOS to macOS is the screen. If you've designed for the iPad, you already understand the challenges of a larger display surface and adapting your views as that size changes. It's not easy work, but an alternative design that's just "a big iPhone" is highly unsatisfying for a customer.
The Mac alters this scenario slightly because your app is presented in a window that's resizable: you might be running with the constraints of an iPhone SE one moment and the expansiveness of an iPad Pro the next.
These resizable windows will also let you show more than one view at a time. On iOS, you're accustomed to owning the entire screen and only having to accommodate for the user's attention in one place. The Mac, on the other hand, has many applications that are vying for input and output mechanisms.
On macOS the notion of "window focus" is used to highlight anything that's currently receiving user input. Some of this will be automatic, such as with the window chrome, but you'll also want to improve the experience in your own views by guiding the user's actions. If controls aren't active because they're in a background window, they'll need to be de-emphasized.
The notion of "focus" also leads to a less obvious design change: an omnipresent keyboard.
On a Mac, you always have a keyboard and folks have developed many habits that revolve around this input device. With iOS, working with a keyboard is an enhancement, and many apps don't bother to make use of it. Using Marzipan means you're adopting a new interaction mechanism that goes beyond pointing at a screen.
Since it's your job to define the user experience, you'll be responsible for creating items in the menu bar. Apple has many recommendations for menus, but you'll get off to a good start if your menu items use verbs for actions and adjectives for states.
Think of menu bar items as a way for people to discover capabilities in your app: Mac users often scrub through a new app's menus as a way to see what can be done. It's also important to determine the most common actions in your app and assign keyboard shortcuts that will speed up the customer's work.
Menus may feel a little odd at first: they're basically a user interface element that's hidden until needed. As such, it's easy to neglect this important part of the experience, but your new customers will let you know when it's not right :-)
The final interaction change you'll need to consider is that a mouse isn't a finger. On iOS you're either touching the screen or you're not. A mouse pointer has a third state: apps can know when a pointer is hovering over a view. This new capability can greatly increase the usability of your app by highlighting important elements in your interface when the customer's mouse gets close.
As far as assets are concerned, you'll have some new graphic files to produce. The most obvious is a Mac desktop icon, which should be similar to, but not the same as, your iOS icon. Utility applications typically get a round icon, while document-based applications get a perspective treatment. Unlike iOS apps, the Mac also has a separate icon for documents that appear on the desktop.
Examples of macOS and iOS icons done by the Iconfactory.
Another thing to be aware of is that Marzipan currently displays your design about 30% smaller than iOS – a 100pt image gets rendered on screen at 77pt. This is done automatically at runtime to accommodate the Mac's larger perceived size and smaller hit areas. A mouse pointer is more accurate than a finger and needs less room to operate.
Hopefully this will change in the public release so you can specify platform-specific images. If not, you'll need to ensure that designs with fine details render correctly. Hairlines and other pixel-level drawing are likely to be problematic.
And speaking of pixels, there may be a need to support @1x screens again. Everything on iOS is @2x these days, but you'll encounter many customers on the Mac who still use a non-Retina display (especially as a secondary monitor.) Yay.
We've saved the biggest design challenge for last. It's who you're designing for – the person who's going to use a Mac version of your iOS app.
A Different Kind of Customer
You've been creating apps for people who drive automobiles. Now you have a different kind of customer: one who drives a truck. These folks have a wholly different set of expectations for your product.
And rightly so: why use your app on a Mac when all it does is replicate the functionality of their mobile device? Sure, there's some convenience involved, but giving that customer a more powerful environment plays more towards their wants and needs.
To get an idea of what this type of customer looks like, take a moment to listen to a recent episode of the Accidental Tech Podcast (ATP). The subject in the segment is iTunes, but it could just as easily be about your app.
Minimalism has always been an appropriate goal on an iPhone. Your target audience doesn't need or want distractions from their basic tasks.
This started to change when the iPad debuted; apps became more immersive because you could do more with a bigger canvas. Now, with a Mac, folks are going to expect even more powerful interactions. Listen to John Siracusa, a guy who knows just a bit about macOS, as he talks about table views and you'll start to understand your new goals. Let's call it "unminimalism".
These folks also form a user community that's different than what you might have encountered previously. It's a warm and kind bunch who will become great supporters when you show a passion for their platform of choice. They can also become critics if your efforts aren't up to snuff.
Keeping two wildly different groups of customers happy with a single app won't be an easy task, but it's one that you're going to be taking on with Marzipan.
Which leads to the final, and most important, topic. How are you going to fund all of this work?
Products need to make money or they cease to exist. But if making a Mac app is just a matter of flipping a switch, why should customers pay for that?
It's my opinion that Universal apps were the worst thing to ever happen for the iPad ecosystem. There's no way for a developer to recoup the costs for new interactions and the extra work needed for more sophisticated apps. Apple makes it easier for a customer up front by offering a single download, but at the same time they make things worse because a Universal version of the user's favorite app isn't financially viable. Apple has few customers who pay directly for their software, so this aspect of third-party products may be a blind spot for the company.
My biggest fear for Marzipan is that Mac apps become a part of a universal download. Nothing could kill my enthusiasm for the project more quickly.
The Future Repeats Itself
At this point, I think it's clear that this is going to be a long process for both designers and developers. And customers, too.
I think it's good to look back on the early versions of Mac OS X: how many iterations did the NeXT software go through before it felt Mac-like? It depends on who you talk to, but for me it took a couple of years before this new system felt comfortable.
It was a mess, until it wasn't.
Along the way, long-time macOS users will lose some things forever. Other changes will be uncomfortable at first, but we'll adapt, even if things like ⌘N muscle memory hold on for a decade.
But make no mistake, everyone is going to be adapting, even the new kids on the block. And like what you've experienced recently with a new programming language, there will be bumps in the road and you'll find yourself dealing with unexpected changes.
In the end, we'll have something new and wonderful that we all love.
Hopefully this post has helped prepare you for what lies ahead with Marzipan. Remember that we're here to help as needed, whether it's an app icon, assistance with user interface design, or consultation about making great Mac apps. We've been doing this stuff since 1997, so let our experience help guide you!

Study: Borrego water woes dire
By J. Harry Jones
BORREGO SPRINGS —
A study recently completed by the U.S. Geological Survey confirms what people in the tiny desert town of Borrego Springs have suspected for some time: Their only source of water, deep below the earth, is being depleted at a rate roughly four times faster than it is being replenished.
The six-year study, done in conjunction with the Borrego Water District, puts hard numbers to a situation that can only be described as dire. Complicating matters further, the Borrego Water District recently was forced to enter into an agreement with the state saying it will find a way to stop over-drawing the aquifer within 20 years.
"We have no choice," said Borrego Water District General Manger Jerry Rowling. "If we don't, the state is going to come in and do it for us. That's what scares everybody."
The study involved hundreds of groundwater level tests throughout the basin and the examination of historical records dating back 60 years, to a time when virtually nobody lived in the desert. Borrego Springs — about 85 miles northeast of San Diego and completely surrounded by Anza-Borrego Desert State Park — is now home to about 3,500 residents, including snowbirds and retirees drawn to the mild winters, if not the scorching summers.
Golf courses play into the leisure lifestyle and tourist appeal that many believe is key to the town's future, but keeping the fairways green is a formidable challenge in an area where there's not enough water to go around.
On average, roughly 5,600 acre-feet of water sinks into the aquifer each year from rainfall and other sources, replenishing the relatively small series of underground basins that stretch from north of Borrego Springs southeasterly beneath the unpopulated state park and into eastern Imperial County.
That doesn't come close to the roughly 20,000 acre-feet of water that has been pumped out of the ground each year for at least two decades. An acre-foot is defined as the volume of one acre of surface area to a depth of one foot. One acre-foot equals about 326,000 gallons.
"Water levels are dropping about 2 feet per year over the past 20 years," Geological Survey supervisory hydrologist and program chief Claudia Faunt said. "Groundwater is the only source of water in Borrego. The annual pumping far exceeds the natural resource on average."
The result is that existing wells are drying up, and in some cases are being deepened to access the water. In certain parts of the basin, the water level has declined more than 100 feet, Faunt said.
The deeper the pumps go, the worse the water becomes, and the more electricity it takes to get it out of the ground, Faunt said. Older water contains sediments. It's saltier and contains compounds such as arsenic.
The study also confirmed where most of the water is going: about 70 percent is being used for agriculture, 20 percent for recreational reasons (primarily golf courses) and 10 percent for residential use.
The obvious quick solution is to get rid of agriculture in the valley, but to do so could cause severe damage to the town's economy. Borrego Springs has always hoped to become a tourism mecca much like Palm Springs but has never come close to such economic success.
The study includes various computer simulations that can be applied to multiple groundwater-management scenarios up to 50 years in the future.
"We're over-drafting the basin by more than four times," Rowling said. "The process to resolve this had to come with hard data. We now have a geological model of our basin that can be used for planning as we move forward."
The study and models will also help Borrego Valley water managers meet requirements put in place by the new California Sustainable Groundwater Management Act. Signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2014, the act directs water agencies and districts in the state that rely on groundwater as their only source to assess their basin's hydrological conditions, and to plan, monitor and use groundwater sustainably. They have 20 years to make it happen.
Agriculture is by necessity going to be at the front and center of any future plans.
The study found there are about 2,000 acres of citrus trees in the northern Borrego Valley that consume about 8,600 acre-feet, or 43 percent, of all the groundwater pumped out of the aquifer system. Palm tree farms and ornamental shrubbery nurseries make up much of the rest of the agricultural product in the valley.
Jim Seley, whose family has been growing citrus in the valley since the 1950s, said the survey results are alarming. He said his 370-acre grapefruit, lemon and tangerine ranch has been trying to conserve water ever since the 1960s when they installed the first-ever drip irrigation system at a desert farm.
Over the years, all sorts of other measures have been taken to prevent over watering, he said, and the farm is now experimenting with planting fewer trees but ones that will hopefully yield more fruit.
"We constantly are changing to become more efficient," he said.
Looking ahead 20 years, Seley said he imagines a 70 percent reduction of agriculture in the valley with many of the farmers giving up, partly because the cost of the electricity to pump water will become prohibitive.
"I think you'll still have smaller farms, but not as many," he said, noting that will impact the economy of the town. Agriculture in the valley employs hundreds of people at harvest time and probably about 100 year-round — people who often shop in the small community and who send their kids to the local schools.
"It impacts everything," he said.
For the past four years, a group called the Borrego Water Coalition, which brings together water users from all over the valley, has been meeting monthly to discuss and plan for the future.
"We're all in this together," Seley said, and the water district's Rowling agrees.
"We need to create a sustainability plan," Rowling said. "We need to figure out what has to happen. We're just at the very beginning of that. We want to make sure everybody in the community has a say in this, because we're the ones who have to deal with this. This is our valley. This is our groundwater basin."

Moma deer, decided it was safe to share her new fawn with us this week.
A sprightly little thing, all bouncy and full of energy..
She'd been keeping it hid amongst the wildflowers, running any other deer who came close, off up the field.
As you are well aware, I moan a lot about the deer eating everything in sight, but I must admit, seeing these spirited little creatures, so full of life, stirs my very soul.
It is a sweet thing. It is fun to see a mother hoover over her young and protect the young one.
How can anyone resist those big beautiful eyes? I am thankful Millie chases them out of our yard. There seems to be an invisible fence that lets the deer know when they are close enough. Your photos are wonderful. I especially like the one where the sweet little one is watching you from beyond the old fence.
Oh, how very lovely your little spotted visitor is. I am glad you enjoy them all you can even though you enclose your flowers in fences. I don't have deer at my here but may move in a few years to where there will be some. I enjoyed them very much as a child.
They love your yard---and you.


It is important to know that while neuroscience has progressed dramatically over the last decades; there is no complete understanding of how human memory works. We know, for example, that data in the brain is stored in clusters of neurons but we don't know how, precisely, it is stored or even how it is encoded. Thus when it comes to understanding memory from a design perspective we will examine certain properties of human memory that are commonly understood to be correct.
Human memory doesn't exist in isolation; the brain isn't just responsible for memorizing things but also for processing the data and acting on that data. Much of our memory and much of the information we receive is visual and it is with visual memories that the designer is mainly concerned.
Empathy is an important element in Design Thinking and Human-Centred Design. What is empathy exactly? Why is empathy so important to designing solutions that actually work for people? Here, we'll not only look at what empathy means, but will also look at how it helps design thinkers create solutions that work and, conversely, how a lack of empathy can result in product failure. We'll also come to understand the empowering notion that everyone can master empathy and design truly human-centred solutions.

I can't help but feel the subtle onset of nausea and an uncontrollable eye twitch whenever I hear the tech community mention the E-Word — yes, empathy. I fear that empathy has become a cheap cliche that we sprinkle in our resumes, conversations, portfolios and job descriptions. Yet, there is one particular field that I suspect is infected with the greatest sense of pride about understanding and practicing empathy: UX Research.
Banner blindness is a long-known web user behavior: it describes people's tendency to ignore page elements that they perceive (correctly or incorrectly) to be ads. And, while webpage patterns and types of advertisements have evolved, banner blindness is still prevalent, our recent research shows. Banner blindness is an instance of selective attention: people direct their attention only to a subset of the stimuli in the environment — usually those related to their goals. This behavior is a consequence of our limited attention capacities. If we were to attend to the enormous inflow of sounds and patterns that surround us, we would be overwhelmed and behave inefficiently.
Every day we as UX and Interaction Designers ask users of our products to make many decisions and advance through sophisticated designs to unlock their hidden features, rewards, paid goods or free services. Designing interfaces to support users in making the right choices and to elevate them onto the next step in a multi-step journey is not always an easy task. The following article will help you understand how our brain makes choices, estimates probabilities, combines probabilities, and values and assesses risk dimensions.

Q: fuzzywuzzy process extract low match result? I am learning fuzzywuzzy package online.
I have a dataframe "restaurants_cuisine" with the column 'cuisine_type'
and a list of categories as below:
categories = ['italian','asian','american']
after I run this code:
print(restaurants_cuisine['cuisine_type'].unique())

the result looks like below:
['america' 'merican' 'amurican' 'americen' 'americann' 'asiane' 'italian'
'asiann' 'murican' 'asiat' 'american' 'americano' 'ameerican' 'asianne'
'americin' 'ammericann' 'amerycan' 'aamerican' 'ameriican' 'asiian'
'asiaan' 'amerrican' 'ameerrican' 'ammereican' 'asian' 'mexican'
'steakhouses']
Then I run the code as below:
from fuzzywuzzy import process

import pandas as pd

for cuisine in categories:
    matches = process.extract(cuisine, restaurants_cuisine['cuisine_type'], limit=len(restaurants_cuisine.cuisine_type))
    for match in matches:
        if match[1] >= 80:
           restaurants_cuisine.loc[restaurants_cuisine['cuisine_type'] == match[0]] = cuisine

print(restaurants_cuisine['cuisine_type'].unique())

My result is like below:
['american' 'asian' 'italian' 'steakhouses']
but the result is supposedly to be:
['american' 'asian' 'italian']
Is it any typo in my codes? Do you have any ideas? Thank you very much!

Hey, where have we heard something that sounds like that headline before? Anyway, the loot box regulation saga continues apace over the weekend and now it's the UK Gambling Commission offering its two cents — which wouldn't be nearly enough to buy a loot box in most games.
Where a product does not meet that test to be classed as gambling but could potentially cause harm to children, parents will undoubtedly expect proper protections to be put in place by those that create, sell and regulate those products.
Exactly how long it will be until these "proper protections" are put into place in the UK (and elsewhere) is anyone's guess. But it's getting nearly impossible to believe that they won't come.
LUL… so does this mean all games with RMAH type auction house are Gambling and needs to be shut down? Cause you're using real money to "bid/ buy" in-game items. Especially when some items tends to be "unidentified in boxes" IE: Loot Boxes.
And you technically do already USE real money to obtain said Loot Boxes, do they think ppls don't use real money to buy Loot Boxes or what?
Not surprised that the UK thinks it's not gambling since they are trying very hard to leave the European Union and trying to make trade deals with the USA and they technically cant while they are with the European Union. Part of me feels like the UK want's to become the European counterpart of the USA and have low quality food and give huge tax cuts to the rich and ignore the middle class and get rid of environmental laws and ect.
Pretty much. Each year, the government seems to give fewer fucks about those less fortunate.
