In fact, you and a dear one can even establish a deeper trust if you have that conversation you've been putting off. Oh, go ahead. It's about time, isn't it?

Hmm ... yes,less is more, and also one important thing: a willingness.

► How Iran's leader controls a vast financial empire

* Part 1- A little-known organization controlled by Iran's Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has used seized properties to become a juggernaut worth billions of dollars.
* Part 2 - Khamenei's conglomerate thrived as sanctions squeezed Iran
* Part 3- To expand Khamenei's grip on the economy, Iran stretched its laws
* About the series:

A team of Reuters reporters in the Middle East led by London-based senior correspondent Steve Stecklow spent six months examining how Setad, a little-known organization controlled by Iran's Supreme Leader, grew into one of the most powerful property and corporate empires in Iran.

Their reporting began with an internal organizational chart. One branch was labeled "Real Estate and Properties Organization." They soon learned that many of the properties Setad controlled had been confiscated from Iranians, whom the reporters began tracking and interviewing.

They also discovered that Setad regularly sold off seized properties. Using Iranian auction websites and newspapers, they documented how in May alone, Setad had auctioned nearly 300 properties.

Setad's financial dealings are secret. But through internal Setad documents, interviews with former employees, data published by the Tehran Stock Exchange and on Iranian company websites, and information from the U.S. Treasury Department, the reporters were able to assemble a picture of Setad's vast corporate portfolio.

► When you get a closer look at someone's plans today, you will see quite a few holes in their way of thinking. This is a tough call: Do you burst their bubble, or let them live in blissful ignorance? You'll have to use all of your tact and charm to get what you want -- which is for them to re-evaluate their idea and not get defensive about the fact that you're not immediately in love with it. They need a dose of reality, and you are the best person to give it to them. You need to be more careful about your aggressive tendencies -- today brings all too many opportunities to start fights or intimidate the wrong people. Take a deep breath before starting anything.

The West found the usual stuff in the East and then proclaimed it as if it was a new discovery.

Since I was a teenager until now I always get used to drink at least a glass of water after waking up in the morning and do a little exercise, at least jump rope.

And I do not wonder why until now I always look younger than my partner. Of course, it's because he's much older than me, and our baby is always younger than both of us, ehhhehehh...

■ Phantoms in the sky: Triple sun shines in China. A rare celestial illusion of "triple suns" occurred in the sky over Chifeng, in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region on Friday morning. The sun, accompanied by two smaller twins, suddenly popped up in the sky, and the triple suns appeared surrounded by arched rainbow-like halos. The illusion is actually deemed a legitimate astronomical phenomenon, also known as a "phantom sun" or "ice halo." It only appears when ice crystals create high clouds in the air around 6,000 meters above ground, and produce reflected sunlight.

Wonderful. It seems, the natural phenomena also approves my dream comes true in part. All this time I forgot to include one more little sun in my life: my baby. Now all complete: I have three suns in my life. He, he and he. I am a prima donna among them. I'll type it later whether I'm very happy with this situation.

[My baby, if they make us uncomfortable, I'll take you far away from them both. Then, let's begin our life with just the two of us. Although you are the smallest boy among us, but you have the greatest strength for me.]

► VIRAL : The 6 Coolest YouTube Music Awards Nominees

I have ears, but not all of the rhythm of music (although they are quite good according to others) can be accepted well by both of my ears. There are some rhythm -- which even from the intro -- always denied by my eardrum. They said, "Stop it! Your music may be good, but your music will be great if you stop singing it!"

Among the 6 songs, I can only like this.



Another song might be nice, but I do not know how to enjoy them.

You know music is heard with the ear but can only be understood by the soul. Some songs make me feel very old-fashioned in this world (example: do not like tattoos, do not like smoke, do not like alcohol, do not like the drugs, do not like to eat the flesh of animals, do not like naked in public, do not like same-sex marriage, do not like atheists, and other criteria of this world that says you are a modern and sophisticated man.} But I do not care about other people's views about me and my musical tastes. I'm sure I can still find them with the same type with me. The closest example: my partner. Although he does not like all kinds of music that I like, but at least he likes some types of music that I like.

Only he can understand I can throw up if I am forced to listen to music that makes me dizzy and nauseous, as well as when I shed tears because listening to the soul of certain musical instruments.

► Your parents play a role in the day's activities, even if they're distant memories now. You're still one result of their lives, and your connection to your heritage is as strong as it's ever been. Talking to a family member may stir up uncomfortable emotions in your heart, but it's always better to get things out in the open than to keep them deep inside, so focus on the positive outcomes. The people you're related to might not have much in common with you philosophically, but they will always think the best of you, always support you, and always celebrate your hard-won successes.

► NEWS& POLITIC : Murder Island - Corsican Crime Wave. Sun, sea, sand and a good chance of being killed. Gang rivalries are turning Corsica into Europe's murder hotspot. With homicide rates 7 times higher than in mainland France, gang rivalry over lucrative tourist property development deals has turned the stunningly beautiful island of Corsica into Europe's crime hot spot.

"We can no longer count how many people have died," says crime reporter Paul Ortoli. "Anyone could get killed at any time and anywhere." The list of recent victims in this killing spree includes some of the island's more powerful figures. The daylight murder of Corsica's most prominent lawyer, Antoine Sollacaro, has taken on a symbolic significance. The inadequately equipped law enforcement is headed by Mayor Ange-Pierre Vivoni. His heroic efforts to protect the island's natural beauty have made him the target of arson and bombing attempts. With 3 murders occurring in the time of filming this report, the leader of a protest group is angered by France's indifference to Corsica's plight. "The French Government is not interested in Corsica. We are nothing. That's why they leave us in the hands of the mafia."
