The Trump administration has ordered the military to start withdrawing roughly 7,000 troops from Afghanistan in the coming months.    A new shift in the 17-year-old war.

The decision stunned Afghan officials, who said they had not been briefed on the plans.

Pakistan working to fence its 1,400 km (870 miles) frontier with Afghanistan and deploy a 50,000- paramilitary force along the border.
Afghan refugees and illegal migrants will not be allowed to set up illegal homes in Pakistan."
Afghanistan is already the world's second biggest source of refugees.
Iranian officials in Kabul said they fear a sudden U.S. troop withdrawal could reverse that trend of deporting migrants from  Iran 
Afghanistan does not share a land border with Turkey. In 2018, Turkish police say they intercepted 90,000 Afghans who were trying to enter the country with fake documents or with the help of traffickers, double the number in 2017.
As negotiations over the future of the country gather momentum, the Taliban have been trying to reassure Afghans that they have nothing to fear after foreign forces leave.
All of a sudden, all these countries are unhappy with the US withdrawal..!!!

Women desire "alpha" males who show off their money, but they also want "relationship."   They want men who put their paychecks into a mortgage.
Women rate tall, strong, athletic males as "very desirable" marriage partners, twice as likely as men value physical strength in women. 

However, most women are realistic and would settle preferring men with feminine-looking faces. E.g.,  Leonardo DiCaprio to Tom Selleck.

Never-married women are more likely to prefer physical attractiveness. Conversely, divorced and widowed women are more likely to select good character over physical attractiveness.

Women love talking, so take a creative writing class, memorize a few romantic poems, or learn a foreign language. 

Foreign women will think that a man who can conjugate verbs correctly in their language will make a good husband.

A predictable man is boring and a woman will soon get bored with you.

Aché women view big-game hunting like peahens view peacocks' tail feathers. It shows that a man is physically and mentally fit. Giving away meat shows that he has more than enough strength and skill to survive.

Extramarital sex isn't unusual among the Aché [ Indigenous people of Paraguay.] When asked who had fathered their children, Aché women named, on average, 2.1 possible fathers for each child. The best hunters' names came up most often.


Women's favorite pinups show bare-chested, muscled men holding smiling babies.

Good Luck then...

Anger...

Whether you agree or disagree with her, Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s presumed entry into the presidential race will make the 2020 Democratic nomination more interesting. She’s exceptionally smart, passionately committed to progressive principles, and has a deep understanding of policy. 
Like all candidates, she’ll make mistakes, as she did with her ill-timed DNA test last fall. But her strong grassroots following and passion for the issues likely means she starts this race as one of the legitimate front-runners.
Can she expand her appeal beyond those who are angry about the economy?

Finding the right balance between anger and aspiration is key. Technology and globalization have been profoundly disruptive, shrinking the opportunity to succeed to a small slice of people and places.
If Warren — or someone else — can convince voters that she has the ideas and the will to fight every day to ensure that everyone has a real opportunity to earn a good life, that candidate will unite traditional progressives, moderates and independents to cruise to the nomination.  Hard to do.

Inactivity has been dubbed the biggest public health problem of the 21st century. The latest reports suggest that around the world it was responsible for 5.3 million deaths in 2008 – around one in 10 – more deaths than smoking.

Not only does exercise make you fitter, it can also ward off numerous and often unexpected diseases, from heart attacks, to diabetes, some forms of cancer and dementia. There are tentative signs it might even make you cleverer, by boosting cognitive performance and brain function.

Latest government guidelines recommend adults under 65 should do 150 minutes of moderate physical activity every week, in bouts of at least 10 minutes. Worryingly, only a fraction of the population manages even that. In the UK just 14% of adults exercise regularly

However, a growing number of sports scientists advocate brief intensive training sessions to achieve the same health gains. So do any, slow, medium or fast.

The latest class to hit London's is called Tabata,

Hands on...

A child was injured after falling into a rhino exhibit at the Brevard Zoo in Melbourne, Florida.
The toddler, 2 years old, and the mother were taken to Arnold Palmer Hospital For Children, Brevard County Fire Rescue said.

The child fell during the "Rhino Encounter," a "hands-on, educational experience with Brevard Zoo’s white rhinoceroses," Brevard Zoo said, adding that the program has been operating since 2009 without incident.
"During the encounter, participants and the rhinoceroses are separated by a series of steel poles."

 According to witnesses, the child stumbled and fell in between two of the poles and at this point, the snout of at least one of rhinoceroses made contact with the child." Holy rhinoceros.
