► 1 June 2015 : Your irrepressible restlessness could get the best of you today if you grow weary of patiently waiting for the right doors to open. However, it's more important than ever to keep your thoughts from wandering away from your work because things could change very quickly. Focus your full attention on the conversations occurring in the present moment. Your ability to react quickly to new developments now increases your chances for success. Keep your ear to the ground and your eyes wide open so you don't miss a thing.
► 2 June 2015 : You must be ready to shift gears on a moment's notice, since your plans are likely to expand with the Sagittarius Full Moon magnifying your 9th House of Big Ideas. Until now, you believed your own story and knew where you were going, but your world is dramatically changing now. Thankfully, you're up for the challenge as long as you can keep the conversations flowing. Don't try to schedule anything too far in advance since your current success depends upon your spontaneity. The future is contained in the here and now; all you have to do is find it.
► 3 June 2015 : It's important for you to know that your work has meaning as you seek something intangible that goes beyond recognition and acknowledgment today. Nevertheless, you're not prepared to give up the stability that your current job provides. Luckily, there's no reason to add unnecessary stress by making dramatic changes now, even if you are feeling somewhat frustrated in your position. Keep your concerns to yourself for a while longer; you can make your big move after Mercury turns direct next week. A little patience serves you well.
► 4 June 2015 : You might believe you are being personally attacked if a coworker confronts you about your work today. However, there's no reason to automatically compromise your position by modifying your views to accommodate others. Although someone else may not share your perspective, don't just pretend to agree in order to keep the peace. Instead, remain firm about your intentions and focused on your goals or you'll ultimately irritate your peers. Mutual understanding and respect is essential for your success.
► 5 June 2015 : You may set off for an emotional journey now, even if you don't think you have sufficient time to explore your feelings. Nevertheless, you are ready to grab hold of an opportunity today as assertive Mars receives a boost from auspicious Jupiter. You might even choose to let go of your past to start all over again. Don't hold back while happy-go-lucky Venus is dancing in your 5th House of Spontaneity; explore the pleasures that you seek, even if it's only in your dreams.
►6 June 2015 : You wish you were free enough to say whatever you want, but you realize that your chances of finding happiness are greater if you keep some things to yourself. You want to be accepted for who you are, yet your brusque manner could rub others the wrong way. Thankfully, you understand that reaching your goals today is more important than how you get there and you're willing to moderate your aggressive approach to appease others. Take everyone's feelings into consideration since the ends don't always justify the means.
► 7 June 2015 : You could spend a lot of time thinking about your future, but might remain stuck in a routine that's tough to break now. Dreaming about what you want your life to look like is much easier today than putting your ideas into motion. Thankfully, there's no urgency to initiate action yet; the time for manifestation will come soon enough. Instead, simply consider the positives and negatives of each option without becoming attached to any single outcome. Reexamining all the angles has you sitting pretty for when you're ready to make your move.
► 8 June 2015 : Your choices are as clear as mud today, yet you're ready to take on the world with confidence in spite of the confusion. Allow as much time as possible before making an important decision because an impulsive judgment call could lead you down a dead-end path now, even if you think you're doing the right thing. It's crucial to figure out the truth first, for faulty assumptions only create tension in your interactions with others. Playing out fantasies in your imagination is safer than doing it in the real world.
► 9 June 2015 : You can become a superhero today, but you must overcome your current tendency to take the course of least resistance and just roll with the incoming waves. Fortunately, warrior Mars is working on your behalf now, assisting you in your task of defying the laws of nature. Discovering the solution to a problem is the easy part; the tricky part is mustering up some uncharacteristic persistence. Once you have a plan, lock onto it with unflagging determination. Don't trade the satisfaction of a job well done for a shot at transient pleasure. Put on your cape and save the day.
► 10 June 2015 : You have a short emotional fuse while the Moon is agitating reactionary Aries, and your shoot-from-the-hip delivery could turn a sticky situation into a real problem. Thankfully, a little common sense goes a long way to prevent a meltdown over a misunderstanding that won't matter much in the long run. However, if you get caught up in the heat of the moment and choose to express your feelings, at least minimize the potential damage by accepting responsibility for your role in the current disagreement.
► 11 June 2015 : You might have been caught in intellectual cross-currents recently as Mercury retrograded in your 3rd House of Communication. Although life seems more hectic than ever, the tide is about to change and the noise will soon transform into exciting opportunities for growth. Don't waste time second-guessing your choices; it's time to launch your ship of ideas into the seas of commerce. Some journeys are worth a leap of faith.
► 12 June 2015 : An unfinished relationship discussion may resurface today, as if a recently dispatched issue was waiting in the wings to be called back onstage. Much to your chagrin, if you weren't able to fix the problem earlier, you won't likely solve it now, either. Paradoxically, the harder you strive for resolution, the more elusive the answers become. Nevertheless, gently leaning into the resistance is still the most strategic tactic because the energy is about to shift, freeing you to move on.
► 13 June 2015 : You are dangerously close to reaching your boiling point today and may struggle to keep a lid on your volatile emotions. Militant Mars is your ruling planet, tuning you into trouble before it even happens. Although the warrior planet is combining forces with the willful Sun, you can consciously use this energy for a positive cause instead of succumbing to its negativity. Stand up for an underdog or defend an idea that's close to your heart. Take the high road by choosing your battles carefully and fighting fairly for the good of all.
► 14 June 2015 : Change is in the wind today, but you can't figure out which direction it's blowing. At first, you may be excited with anticipation as you map out your schedule for the near future, only to be drawn back into old fears. But rather than swiftly processing your emotions, your memories could bring up unexpected anger. Don't be so judgmental if you aren't living up to your own ambitious expectations. Instead of comparing the present with the past, focus strictly on the power of now so you can gain the most out of your current experiences.
► 15 June 2015 : You aren't likely to take no for an answer today, but you might have to think on your feet and do some fast talking to receive the approval you seek. You could grow frustrated if you are swept up by interpersonal politics that are beyond your control. But don't quit too soon, since gentle persistence will probably bring you what you want. However, four planets buzzing in adaptable Gemini remind you that maintaining a flexible attitude is essential to keep up with how quickly the circumstances are changing.

"We want to show the true heinous nature of Daesh", said Masoud Shojai-Tabatabai, the chairman of the organizing committee, using the Arabic acronym for IS. "IS bears the name of Islam but has no relationship with this religion, aiming to create (a) divide between Muslims, between Sunnis and Shiites", he told AFP on the sidelines of the awards ceremony on Sunday night. Hardliners in Iran, the Syrian regime's most powerful regional ally, accuse the West, Turkey, Israel and some Arab countries of creating IS to sow Muslim discord and divert attention from the dire situation in the Palestinian territories. || ► AFP 2 June 2015 : At Iran anti-IS cartoon contest, pens also jab the West || ► PRESS TV 1 June 2015 : Tehran wraps up international anti-ISIL cartoon & caricature contest || ► IRAN CARTOONS : Winners of Daesh International Cartoon & Caricature Contest-2015

Rose ... mmm ... I can't exactly explain its beauty for me. When it is alone: beautiful. When it is together with its friends: wow ... it looks like, I want to take their beauty, all in one: gorgeous.
Personification of beautiful roses are women. It's an absolute thing, remember? (Do not ever dream that you will be as beautiful as she is, Bruce Jenner!
Haa ...)
And this woman, for me, has a charm of roses. She is beautiful. I look at her with admiration, not with envy to fellow women, or an admiration as I admire my partner. Not at all! But I like her like I love my sister.
Similarity between me and my sister : we both love painting, gardening, planting flowers and fruit trees, because fruit and vegetables are my main meal.
She played her piano. I also play the piano every day like I always eat every day.
Here, I always know the difference between a Russia rose and Rhododendrons.
You know, a beautiful woman for me is not just the physical beauty. I will say "you're beautiful" if I can feel something inexplicable from within you. Because I love poetry, every time I look at you, you will look like a line of beautiful words, still hidden in my mind. Those row of beautiful words can never be inscribed on a piece of paper while I am still staring at you. So I'll stop staring at you and prepare everything, maybe a drawing pencil and paper. Then I can say your beauty into words and scratches.
Whoa, ... I'm back again! Indeed, I like her face, Yulia Shapovalova's face, but if my partner also likes her face and maybe he likes her as he likes me, because so many similarities between her and me, ... mmm .. I'm guessing my next reaction, .. Shananana ...., do not worry, I'll keep humming a beautiful music, but it looks like you have to choose one of us, dahling : She or I.
If you choose her, of course I'm going to hurt, but I will continue my life in a wound because the beauty of a rose. I will make the "cruelty" of a rose as part of mystery of its beauty.
... Oh really? So, actually, what are you writing, Cisca? A poem or a threat? You threaten because you're feeling threatened, is that what you mean? Ehehhe...

► EDUCATION : Prophets from the Bible [FULL DOCUMENTARY]. What are prophets is discussed in this episode. Isaiah, Jeremiah and others are talked about in this episode. (Biblical Mysteries EP16)
In religion, a prophet is an individual who is claimed to have been contacted by the supernatural or the divine, and to speak for them, serving as an intermediary with humanity, delivering this newfound knowledge from the supernatural entity to other people. The message that the prophet conveys is called a prophecy.
Claims of prophets have existed in many cultures through history, including Judaism, Christianity, Islam, in Ancient Greece, Zoroaster, and many others.
Jeremiah (/dʒɛrɨˈmaɪ.ə/; Hebrew： יִרְמְיָה, Modern Hebrew: Yirməyāhū, IPA: jirməˈjaːhu, Tiberian: Yirmĭyahu, Greek: Ἰερεμίας, Arabic: إرميا Irmiya) meaning "Yah Exalts", also called the "Weeping prophet" was one of the major prophets of the Hebrew Bible. Jeremiah is traditionally credited with authoring the Book of Jeremiah, 1 Kings, 2 Kings and the Book of Lamentations, with the assistance and under the editorship of Baruch ben Neriah, his scribe and disciple. Judaism considers the Book of Jeremiah part of its canon, and regards Jeremiah as the second of the major prophets. Islam considers Jeremiah a prophet, and is listed as a prophet in all the collections of Stories of the Prophets.[citation needed] Christianity also regards Jeremiah as a prophet and he is quoted in the New Testament.
About a year after King Josiah of Judah had turned the nation toward repentance from the widespread idolatrous practices of his father and grandfather, Jeremiah's sole purpose was to reveal the sins of the people and explain the reason for the impending disaster (destruction by the Babylonian army and captivity), "And when your people say, 'Why has the Lord our God done all these things to us?' you shall say to them, 'As you have forsaken me and served foreign gods in your land, so you shall serve foreigners in a land that is not yours.'" God's personal message to Jeremiah, "Attack you they will, overcome you they can't, was fulfilled many times in the Biblical narrative, Jeremiah was attacked by his own brothers, beaten and put into the stocks by a priest and false prophet, imprisoned by the king, threatened with death, thrown into a cistern by Judah's officials, and opposed by a false prophet. When Nebuchadnezzar seized Jerusalem in 586 BC, he ordered that Jeremiah be freed from prison and treated well.
Isaiah (/aɪˈzeɪ.ə/ or UK /aɪˈzaɪ.ə/;[2] Hebrew: יְשַׁעְיָהוּ, Modern Yeshayahu Tiberian Yəšạʻyā́hû ; Greek: Ἠσαΐας, Ēsaïās ; Arabic: إشعيا Ishiya; "Yahu is salvation") was a prophet who lived in the 8th-century BC Kingdom of Judah. Jews and Christians consider the Book of Isaiah a part of their Biblical canon; he is the first listed (although not the earliest) of the neviim akharonim, the latter prophets.
Jeremiah (/dʒɛrɨˈmaɪ.ə/; Hebrew： יִרְמְיָה, Modern Hebrew: Yirməyāhū, IPA: jirməˈjaːhu, Tiberian: Yirmĭyahu, Greek: Ἰερεμίας, Arabic: إرميا Irmiya) meaning "Yah Exalts", also called the "Weeping prophet" was one of the major prophets of the Hebrew Bible.

Judaism considers the Book of Jeremiah part of its canon, and regards Jeremiah as the second of the major prophets. Islam considers Jeremiah a prophet, and is listed as a prophet in all the collections of Stories of the Prophets.[citation needed] Christianity also regards Jeremiah as a prophet and he is quoted in the New Testament. It has been interpreted that Jeremiah "spiritualized and individualized religion and insisted upon the primacy of the individual's relationship with God."

They will die without the popularity and things sensational in their lives. If they become ordinary people they will be very lonely, even though they have a lot of money. And this feeling will lead them to the gate of their death, through the corridors of stress and depression. For this reason, I think they should also have a spiritual guide, not just makeup tools. Expensive lipstick can't erase the sadness on their lips. Expensive sunglasses can't hide their tears.

Just forget about the crazy man in your life, Kris. Individually, you've done the right thing with your divorce, but well, at least you will only consider him only as the father of Kendal and Kylie. I do not know how he will introduce his new self to his children. As their aunt? Older sister? Your new little sister? Or a witless old parrot? Poor Kendall and Kylie. They try to appreciate the tears of bitterness with sweet smiles and fancy dresses. For a cry of conscience, "Daddy, tell us all this is not true. We will forgive all your mistakes in the past, ... but at least, now, say ... please ... all of this is not true!"
And you Bruce, in your pain, hurt them with pride, saying, "I'm sorry, all this is true!"
Oh yes! I say yes, it is true. Bruce, yes, it is true that ye are indeed truly mentally ill. You do not know how to thank the Creator upon a perfection for you. Deliberately, you've ruined the best thing given to you to be the worst of your life. You will not be happy until your time comes! Wonderful world is crying for you.
