China - Plight of those who break one-child rule

Published on Dec 26, 2011 by
http://www.euronews.net/ Happy Chinese families in the country's adverts have one thing in common - they all have just one child.

You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You are the one so I make sure behave!
My love is your love, your love is my love

Baby, I love you, I need you here
Give me all the time
Baby we meant to be
You got me, smiling all the time

Cause you know how to give me that
You know how to pull me back
When I go runnin, runnin
Tryin to get away from loving ya
You know how to love me hard
Yep, I´m falling for ya but there´s nothin wrong with that

[Chorus]
You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You are the one so I make sure behave!
My love is your love, your love is my love

You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You are the one so I make sure behave!
My love is your love, your love is mine

Baby come, tear me now, hold me now
Make me come alive
You got the sweetest touch
I´m so happy, you came in my life

Cause you know how to give me that
You know how to pullme back
When I go runnin, runnin
Tryin to get away from loving ya
You know how to love me hard
Yep, I´m falling for ya but there´s nothin wrong with that

[Chorus]

And yes I´m kinda crazy
That´s what happens baby
When you put it down
You should´ve give it to me
Good like that
Should´ve hit it like that
Had me yellin like that
Didn´t know you would´ve had me coming back

You the one that I´m feeling
You the one that I´m loving
Ain´t no other, that´s like you
No there´s just one, one, one
No baby just one, one
I bet you wanna know

[Chorus]

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday 27th December 2011

.
Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Getting involved in a creative endeavour will expand your horizons. Your colleagues will introduce you to new books, movies, and music. You've always had a very definite taste in art. Now you're older, you're ready to consider new ideas. One of your colleagues who is impressed with your abilities will offer you a teaching or writing job. It won't pay very much, but it will give you a chance to talk about your favourite subject. That's a definite bonus.
  .
Taurus (Apr21/May21) This is a wonderful time to land your dream job. Your future employer will respond well to your humour, tact, and charm. Be sure to emphasise your customer service skills during an interview. It's also important to dress well; projecting a professional, stylish image is critical to your success. The initial salary you earn may not be very impressive, but you'll get plenty of perks like free tickets and discounted merchandise. The longer you stay with this employer, the more you will earn.
  .
Gemini (May22/Jun21) You long to explore greener pastures. Lately, it feels like you're a hamster running on a treadmill. All of your hard work and diligence doesn't seem to be taking you anywhere. Teaming up with someone who was born in another country will put you on a new path. Your friend is able to see opportunities you wouldn't ordinarily recognise. By following their lead, you'll realise a cherished dream. It may take a few months to reach your final destination, but at least you'll make a start.
  .
Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) A business or romantic partner will get a financial boost, thereby benefiting you. At long last, you'll be able to get some of the luxuries that were previously out of reach. Your most satisfying purchases will be for items you use every day. Go ahead and splurge on fluffy towels, soft bed linens, and premium toiletries. The simple act of indulging yourself on a regular basis will cause your confidence to soar. You deserve the best in life; enjoy it!
  .
Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Someone has taken a fancy to you and it shows. If there's anything you enjoy, it's being lavished with affection. Try not to take advantage of your position. Don't fool your admirer into believing you share their feelings if that is not the case. You know the pain of heartache, and are too kind to inflict that kind of damage on someone else. There is a good chance you're just as besotted. Admit your feelings and embark on a passionate romance.
  .
Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Working as part of a team is rewarding. Your colleagues appreciate your input and you value their help. By sharing ideas, you'll develop innovative solutions to stubborn problems. Are you looking for a job? Spread the word among friends and neighbours. You'll find a good position through social contacts. Your skills and experience are undeniably impressive, but may not get you an interview. Sometimes whom you know is more important than what you know.
  .
Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Your playful spirit attracts lots of romantic attention. If you're single, you'll have the pick of several suitors. Choose the one who is utterly original. You've always admired people who march to the beat of their own drum. Good news about a relative or neighbour causes you to breathe a sigh of relief. For a while, you were worried about their health. Now that it looks as if they are out of the woods, you can resume a hobby that was giving you lots of pleasure.
  .
Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) Spending more time at home soothes your spirits. Somebody who used to get on your nerves all the time doesn't bother you anymore. That's because your family makes you feel valued and loved. With their support, you can do anything. A brilliant idea for a business will strike quite suddenly. A relative will give you the start up capital for this venture. Use it sparingly. It's better to grow a new venture slowly, so you can make small adjustments when things go wrong.
  .
Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) A short trip is in the cards for you. The people you meet on this journey will be very receptive to your brand of charm. If you're single, this is a perfect time to find a partner. Keep your eyes open for an offbeat rebel who has a unique view of the world. The two of you share a love of adventure and will enjoy exploring distant lands together. Are you already in a relationship? Express your affection for your amour with a heartfelt love letter.
  .
Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) If you're looking for work, you could find a good job in one of the caring professions. Having a regular salary will allow you to put money away for a really big purchase, like a home or a car. Get into the habit of putting a set portion of your income into savings. You won't miss the extra spending money, and will come to enjoy adding to your nest egg. You're the type who can't feel comfortable unless you have a little cash in reserve.
  .
Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) It's time to indulge yourself with a lovely gift. Ordinarily, you don't place much importance on material goods. Still, you enjoy a day off every now and again. Ask a friend to accompany you to a nearby beauty spot. Exploring an unfamiliar vista will give you the stimulation you crave. Lately, life has taken a tedious turn. You need a change of scenery to restore your natural enthusiasm. Life shouldn't solely be comprised of chores and work; you have to work in a little fun.
  .
Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Spending time alone helps you to cope with all the added attention that's come your way. Lately, your boss has been watching your every move. There's a good chance you are being evaluated for a promotion or raise. It's hard for an introvert like you to withstand such scrutiny. Fortunately, your romantic partner is eager to shower you with tender loving care. Let yourself be pampered. Too often, you make sacrifices for others, leaving you emotionally drained.
