yingluck shinawatra <sep> bangkok , thailand ( cnn ) -- at least 28 people were injured in two explosions at an opposition rally in the thai capital of bangkok on sunday , authorities said . a local journalist is among the injured , said paradon patthanathabut , the national security chief . the latest blasts came just two days after another pair of explosions wounded more than two dozen people at an anti-government rally on friday . one man wounded at the protest friday died saturday , emergency officials said . since demonstrations against prime minister yingluck shinawatra 's government began in november , nine people have died and more than 450 have been wounded , according to authorities . in a bid to resolve the current crisis , yingluck dissolved parliament last month and called for new elections to be held on february 2 . but the move has done little to appease protesters . they have called on the prime minister to step down from her caretaker position and be replaced by an unelected people 's council , ' which would see through electoral and political changes . the opposition democrat party has said it will boycott the elections . protest leaders have said they want to rid thailand of the influence of former prime minister thaksin shinawatra , the older brother of yingluck . thaksin was ousted in a military coup in 2006 and has spent most of the time since then in exile overseas . if he returns , he risks a two-year prison sentence on a corruption conviction , which he says was politically motivated . the recent protests in bangkok were prompted by a botched attempt by yingluck 's government to pass an amnesty bill that would have opened the door for her brother 's return . | protesters want prime minister yingluck shinawatra to step down |

batmen <sep> istanbul , turkey -- nearly two months ago , president obama embarked on a two-day , two-city charm offensive in turkey , a predominantly muslim country and nato military ally whose people give the united states abysmal approval ratings . president obama listens at a town hall-style meeting in istanbul , turkey , in april . the american president toured a mosque , laid a wreath at the grave of the founder of the turkish republic , and announced before the turkish parliament that the united states is not and will never be at war with islam . ' did obama 's new brand of diplomacy work ? could 48 hours of handshakes , speeches and smiles turn around turkish public opinion ? after all , in 2007 , only 9 percent of turks polled by the pew research center held favorable views of america , the lowest level among 47 countries surveyed . if 24-year old ece basaran is any indicator , obama succeeded beyond expectations . after attending a town hall-style meeting with the american president during his visit to istanbul last april , basaran and a group of her friends started up a turkish-american friendship club at her university . i get positive feedback because everybody around me likes obama , ' basaran said , while taking a break from preparing for final exams at istanbul 's bahcesehir university this week . basaran said that as recently as last year , the united states was unpopular among fellow students and friends , but added that after obama , it seems popular . at least the negative image began to fade away . ' officials and commentators in both turkey and the united states are also calling obama 's first presidential visit to a muslim country a positive step . at the moment , he 's doing the right thing , ' said suat kiniklioglu , a member of the turkish parliament . his first task was to remedy the situation of america wielding a big stick for the last eight years . ' president obama 's visit and recent policy initiatives have managed to dispel some of the pervasive suspicion in u.s.-turkish relations -- no small achievement , ' said ian lesser of the german marshall fund , testifying before the house foreign affairs committee last month . but , he added , much remains to be done . ' there are strong indications that words alone will not be enough to transform years of deep suspicion many turks feel towards the united states , particularly after the long , widely unpopular war in neighboring iraq . according to a recent poll published by academics at bahcesehir university , 43 percent of turks said they would not like to live next door to american neighbors . in a phone interview this week , osman solmaz , another of the turkish students chosen to attend the town hall meeting with obama , said that in his hometown , the southeastern turkish city of diyarbakir , the majority of the people have prejudice against the united states . ' nobody agrees with america 's foreign policy , ' said sertac yakin , a university student from ankara who also attended the istanbul meeting in april . to change public opinion in turkey is a long-term affair , ' argued kemal koprulu , the founder of ari movement , an istanbul-based nongovernmental organization that focuses on promoting youth participation in civil society . there is no way that the election of a president and several nice statements from a state department spokesman will change dramatically the public opinion in turkey . ' koprulu argued that his organization has documented alarmingly high levels of anti-americanism and anti-westernism among young turks . he pointed out that at a recent academic conference at one of turkey 's most progressive universities in istanbul , he witnessed audience members give a five-minute standing ovation to a turkish speaker who slammed america ' in front of a panel of visiting u.s. officials . the white house does appear to have made some progress in patching up damaged relations with the powerful turkish military . top turkish army generals did not attend an important bilateral conference in the united states last year , following american criticism of turkey 's cross-border military offensive against kurdish pkk rebels in northern iraq . this year , the turkish military chief of staff was among the key speakers attending the conference . but gen. ilker basbug reportedly told the audience of dignitaries in washington this week that the ongoing presence of pkk rebels in northern iraq continues to have a negative impact on turkish-u.s. relations . many turks say they are still waiting to see to whether the obama white house 's change in tone will translate to a change in the u.s. government 's deeply unpopular foreign policy in the middle east . they highlighted america 's strong support for israel over the palestinians , and the ongoing conflicts in iraq and afghanistan . i believe [ obama ] understands the importance of the islamic world , ' said abdurrahman dilipak , a columnist at vakit , turkey 's most conservative newspaper . we will monitor his stance . he makes promises yet we have to see how he will act . muslims are still treated as terrorists when they arrive in the u.s. ' that wait-and-see attitude was even reflected by basaran , the enthusiastically pro-american student who helped found a turkish-american friendship club at her university . because obama has the [ muslim ] name hussein , people really love it , ' basaran said . i think he 's the most favorite u.s. president among muslim people . but we 'll see .

unclutterer.com <sep> ( martha stewart living ) -- your nana 's collection of figurines . the treadmill from your days as a runner . that unfinished five-year quilting project . as spring-cleaning season kicks in , you 're inspired to chuck anything that is n't being put to good use . but then you falter , since getting rid of stuff can be an emotionally charged process . martha stewart living : spring cleaning to-do list : the 12 things you need to clean ' a lot of us hold on to items not because we love them or they 're useful , but because we 're living in the past or for the future , ' says monika eckfield , an assistant professor at california state university east bay who studies people 's relationships with things . indeed , a lot of us have a hard time letting go , if the 2.3 billion square feet -- or 82.5 square miles -- of self-storage units in the u.s. is any indication . ( never mind what 's crammed under our beds . ) for the estimated 2 to 5 % of americans who suffer from hoarding , a mental disorder often related to depression and anxiety , this is a problem that interferes with daily life . martha stewart living : 10 clever house-cleaning tricks but for most people , the buildup of stuff happens gradually and naturally over decades . regardless of the degree of clutter in your home , experts agree there are ways to clear it once and for all . psychoanalyze your stuff ' there has not been much research into why we form these attachments to objects , psychologically , but most of us form them , ' says gail steketee , dean of social work at boston university and coauthor of several books on hoarding . she says that most people store stuff for a handful of reasons : sometimes it 's just simple joy or aesthetics -- there 's pleasure in seeing an object -- but often nostalgia , guilt and anxiety play a role . ' martha stewart living : 19 tips for perfect laundry every time steketee suggests examining your reasons for keeping an item : do you use it or not ? if not , is it something of beauty ? or is there another reason you 're holding on to it ? ' she asks . often people pile the reasons on top of each other -- it was mom 's juicer , and it still works , and besides , that orange color is kind of nice . ' if you find yourself struggling for justifications , or realize you still have an item out of obligation more than anything else , it may be time to let it go . professional organizer barbara reich suggests considering whether your attachment is overblown : an item might be something an aunt bought ages ago for 20 cents , and people think ,'oh , i ca n't get rid of it .'when really your aunt would n't care if you got rid of that candy dish . ' reich also says to take a hard look at items you 're retaining for practical reasons -- a box of dvds , say -- and think about what will happen if you get rid of it but wind up needing it later . ( a dvd can be borrowed from the library or rented . ) martha stewart living : martha 's ultimate organizing solutions part ways happily a successful sweep can entail enlisting the help of a friend or professional organizer , says erin rooney doland , editor in chief of unclutterer.com . talking about the items helps you make rational decisions , ' she says . telling stories can help you let the items go . ' finding objects a good home can also serve as an emotional cushion -- giving that volume of art books to a school library is less wasteful and traumatic than leaving them at the curb . the good feeling that comes from donating helps counter any guilt , ' says steketee . to purge thoughtfully , do n't expect to clear everything out in a weekend . a lot of folks get motivated , then lose steam -- and now they 've made an even bigger mess , because they 've pulled out half the closet 's contents , ' says eckfield . she suggests setting manageable goals , like one shelf per weekend . save space for sentimentality remember , you are not a robot , ' says doland . despite being a professional organizer , she keeps sentimental items herself -- a pair of scissors from camp when she was 16 years old , for instance . scissors are n't a distraction from the life i want to lead , ' she says , but a large box crammed with trinkets from that same summer would be clutter . ' setting physical parameters -- one box per year of your kids'childhood , for example -- helps you zero in on what matters most . reich advises saving these things in a way that honors their importance -- labeled and well-wrapped . then revisit them periodically to see if your feelings have changed . martha stewart living : 12 tools to use in your house in unexpected ways the emotional uptick to divesting yourself of the rest ? you no longer feel like your stuff is hanging over you , ' says doland . you have more space for the life you want -- physically in your home , but also mentally . ' eckfield remembers when an older client finally acknowledged that she was never going to make beaded jewelry again and got rid of her supplies . instead of mourning the end of a longtime hobby , she saw off-loading those supplies as a fresh opportunity to do something new , ' says eckfield . she told me ,'there 's a time when you have to hang up your spurs .'' martha stewart living : top 50 everyday money-saving tips decluttering the digital way if there are items you want to keep -- but rarely need to look at -- consider these electronic options . photographs you 're better off scanning old prints than letting them disintegrate in a box . take them to a professional photo shop , or scan them onto your phone with an app like ancestry.com 's shoebox . as you take new photos , avoid another pileup by creating digital folders , organized by month or occasion , says reich . i also tell clients to stop printing photos unless they 're being framed , ' she adds . children 's artwork like many parents , doland , a mother of two , has a hard time parting with her kids'artwork . her process : collect the items in a bin , and comb through it once a year , since identifying the keepers is easier with some distance . put a few favorites in a portfolio , and photograph the rest for a digital gallery . send almost-keepers to relatives and the rest to the recycling bin . ( doland even has her husband take the bin to the curb . ) books yes , books bring warmth to a room , but when they no longer fit on the shelves , they 're a problem , ' says reich . only keep books you truly love , and purge the ones you did n't enjoy or will never read again . ' if you 're on the fence about getting rid of a book , check if it 's available as an e-book or still in print ( most kids'classics never go out of print ) . keepsakes photograph knickknacks , toys and other sentimental things before parting ways with them , suggests doland . take it a step further by creating a photo book on a site like shutterfly and enlisting family members to share memories in the captions . you can also print the photo and frame it to keep the item around the house while reducing its footprint -- with the right instagram filter , that old mixer or ragged teddy bear can become a work of art . what have you kept and what have you tossed ? share your experience in the comments , on twitter @ cnnliving or on cnn living 's facebook page . | unclutterer.com editor : you no longer feel like your stuff is hanging over you ' |
