Imagine a house, built up on stilts, standing alone on a deserted beach. The waves crash against the shore with each one drawing nearer and nearer to the house threatening to topple the entire structure. The only thing saving the house from being dragged out to sea are the stilts, which are planted firmly into the ground. Similarly, a Muslim has stilts as well that keep him grounded in the Islamic faith and to be a Muslim means that you believe in them all unequivocally.
The existence of man and the entire universe is not a mere accident or the product of chance. There is a Higher Authority that exists. The universe and everything that is in it points to the realization of a Creator. God is our Creator, the Sustainer, the Owner of the Universe and its contents, the provider of everything, the Giver of life and the Causer of death. God is the only One who has the right to be worshipped. He created beings and provides for them out of His Love and Mercy. God is unique unto Himself and He is nothing like any of His creations. God's descriptions and attributes, which are found in the Qur'an and Sunnah, are distinctive unto Him. He is purely transcendental in unfathomable perfection. For the concept of God in Hinduism, please, click herer.
God created Angels out of light to carry out specific functions in the Heavens, Hell, and the Universe. Angels are invisible to the human eye unless, by Allah's command, they take on a physical form. The angels do not have free will of their own and do as God commands them. Angels are a part of the creation just as humans are and should never be worshipped. The most well known Angel in God's creation is named Gabriel, or Jibreel in Arabic. He is also referred to as the 'Holy Spirit' in the book of God and he is responsible for conveying the revelation to the Prophets.
The angels are responsible for fulfilling several tasks in this world. For example, every human has two constant companions known as 'recording angels' who literally write down all of our good and bad deeds. They keep a record of our lives and we will be called to account from our own 'book of deeds' on the Day of Judgment. There are also angels who blow the human spirit into a fetus after the 4th month of gestation while others are responsible for removing the spirit from the body at the time of death by God's leave.
This article of faith refers to belief in all scriptures revealed by God to His Messengers, in their original form. These scriptures form the enlightenment, which the messengers received to direct their people to the straight path of God's guidance. Muslims believe in all of the books of God mentioned in the Glorious Qur'an: the books of Abraham (Suhuf), the Scripture of Moses (Torah), the Psalms of David (Zabur) and the Gospel of Prophet Jesus (Al-Injeel). However, long before the advent of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), they had all been lost or distorted by later generations over the centuries. This happened because God entrusted the people with protecting these scriptures and they obviously failed.
All the revealed books call to the One God and say that He is to be worshipped alone and without partner. However, due to the logistical differences between nations (i.e. time, place) there was some variation in the canonical teachings between the scriptures according to the wisdom of God.
Muslims believe that there were hundreds of scriptures sent to mankind that were not mentioned in the Qur'an; however some are mentioned in the Sunnah, or teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Each scripture was sent at a specific time and place as history tells us. As mankind corrupted each one, God sent another Messenger to correct the original message and another and another.
It's easy to see that Islam was present throughout history the whole time up until when God finalized His revelation to mankind by way of the Qur'an, which was sent through the Last Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him). God sent Muhammad on a mission to deliver the message of the Qur'an that would guide all of Mankind until the Day of Judgment.
In infinite compassion, God gave us the Qur'an as a reference to lead a pious life that leads back to Him. It is the final word from God and no other message, or messenger, will come. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the seal that closed the long line of Prophets that God sent to mankind.
This article of faith addresses the belief that God conveyed His message through selected human beings. These individuals are known as Prophets, or Messengers, and were chosen by God to be walking examples as well as teachers of how the scriptures were to be understood and implemented. They were sinless and the most pious out of all of mankind. God sent to every nation a Prophet to convey the message that God alone was to be worshipped and that anyone who associated others with Him in divinity or worship was committing the single unforgivable sin which is the ultimate treason against our Creator. They also taught the Law of God which all humans should follow to the best of their ability.
The Qur'an mentions the names of only twenty-five of the Prophets while stating the fact that many others were not mentioned by name. The first of these prophets was Adam and the last was Muhammad (peace be upon him). Every Prophet was sent to a specific people for specific periods of time except Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who was sent to all mankind until the Final Hour. The proofs that Muhammad (peace be upon him) was a messenger of God are abundant; all of which are mentioned in his biography by means of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. The Sunnah elaborates on the Qur'anic verses. It also explains in detail true piety and the best way of worship. These teachings were meticulously collected and reported by the Prophet's companions (may Allah reward them all).
Intuitively, all humans know the difference between right and wrong. God has also sent us books and messengers to further guide us. There is no reason why anyone should be outside the pale of pure faith and righteousness. However, humans must choose their own path in this short life, which will affect their place in the eternal life to come. Belief in the Day of Judgment implants a sense of God consciousness in man's heart and our personal responsibility compels us to obey God sincerely without compulsion.
Predestination means that God alone knows everything. His knowledge is not bound by time as the past, present and future are all known to Him. Everything that happens in this Universe occurs with God's permission. Nothing can take place against His will. However, God's prior knowledge does not mean that humans are mere pawns on a chessboard having no choice of where they are 'moved' next. Many verses in the Qur'an illuminate man's free will to choose his path, whether it is good or bad. All humans have a limited free will; however, all will be called to answer for each and every deed. Even though the choices are ours, God already knows what we will choose which is part of His Perfection as the One and Only God.

What is the most common way of shooting a waterfall? Long exposure, of course, with that dreamy, smooth water. It does look wonderful and appealing but if you're not careful you can overdo it.
Another problem is that when everyone's doing it, you end up with dozens of shots that look exactly as the ones you've already seen someone capture before.
These simple tips will help you improve your waterfall images and make them stand out from the crowds.

Barack Obama unveils 'historic' agreement on fuel economy standards
Deal agreed with automakers requires cars and light trucks to average 54.5mpg by 2025 in bid to wean the country off oil imports

Barack Obama's announcement of aggressive new targets on US fuel economy standards was welcomed today as a "historic agreement" by a leading thinktank.
Flanked by representatives of the automotive industry, the US president said: "This agreement on fuel standards represents the single most important step we've ever taken as a nation to reduce our dependence on foreign oil."
"And just as cars will go further on a gallon of gas, our economy will go further on a barrel of oil."
The new corporate average fuel economy (CAFE) standards will increase from 2017 at 5% annually for cars and 3.5% for light trucks through 2021, with an overall target of a fleetwide average of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. Current standards were set at 35mpg by 2016 in 2008, when the auto industry was in a compliant mood after a $50bn government bailout.
Against a backdrop of a bitter partisan battle over raising the debt ceiling, the US president said that setting the new standard at an average of 54.5 miles per gallon (mpg) by 2025 was an example of how compromise can work.
He said: "So as we look to close the deficit, this agreement is a reminder of why it's so important that we have a balanced approach. We've got to make serious spending cuts while still investing in our future; while still investing in education and research and technology like clean energy, which are so important for our economy."
Phyllis Cuttino, the Pew Environment Group's director of the clean energy programme, said: "This is a historic compromise. It will be the largest acceleration of fuel economy that we've had. Auto companies have said to themselves in good faith that we're really going to try to stretch. Given our history on fuel economy it's very impressive."
Cuttino said the standards were a serious step towards reducing greenhouse gases in transport, the fastest growing source of emissions in the US.
"In the absence of a comprehensive energy and climate policy you really have to take assertive action on smaller practical measures that you can take and implement now because if you're going to wait five or 10 years the curve to meet what science tells us to do becomes ever more steep."
She warned that potential loopholes would be watched closely, for example, efficiency for light trucks would not be required to accelerate at the same rate, and automakers would also be allowed to review progress on the standards in 2021.
BMW was one the first manufacturers to welcome the new standard. Its president of manufacturing, Josef Kerscher, said:
"Regulatory consistency is critical to synchronise product development with government rules. This way, companies have the time necessary to develop technologies that fulfill the requirements while remaining profitable and sustainable. The path from 2017 to 2021 is now clearly marked and we are ready for the challenge."
A report out today to coincide with the announcement from the Ceres, a group of sustainable business advocates, said that the 5% increase in fuel efficiency each year would create 603,000 new jobs nationally by 2030.

Some interesting points, some of which I was thinking of, and others I was not.
I assume the above is roughly the chain involved in a 401K?
I don't trust my employer very much... I hope I'll receive a paycheck each pay period, but they perform layoffs each quarter and their most recent precedent has been to notify on payday that this check (which is payment for the last 2 weeks of work) is your last, you will receive no severance, your medical/dental benefits are done as of midnight unless you COBRA, you will receive a check for your saved vacation pay via US Mail within a month, have a nice life.
My original question was regarding #2, the entity that holds the stocks/mutual funds... in essence my question was, is there a government backed insurance that will make good on any securities they are holding in my account. It sounds like there is some sort of a mix of government and private insurances. To be honest, I don't know how much I trust private insurance to pay in the situation of major banking failure because the insurers may be sunk as well. The US Government (such as it is) the only one I truly trust, and mostly because they can print/borrow additional money on demand.
Regarding #3, I had thought about this aspect as well, but decided I don't know enough about the mechanics/pricing of Mutual Funds to ask a relevant question.
So my concern was mostly regarding scandal and internal screw ups at the brokerage that holds my accounts.

Did you know that 83% of renters would rather personal their own dwelling? © 2018 Lease to Own Actual Estate Pre Property Solutions. While you're taking a look at homes to buy, ask sellers if they'd be occupied with an owner financing scenario. As I stated above, there are a number of brokers who're itemizing homes with owner financing where the owner is in foreclosures. One particularly enticing dwelling provided in Calgary with proprietor financing was an estate on two acres, listed at $2.5 million.
Likelihood is, you probably will not meet a vendor who is open to proprietor financing right away. Forte Properties combines unequalled consumer providers and uncompromising integrity for Austin area home patrons and sellers. The owners of the properties below state they will CONSIDER proprietor financing. Specify what you are on the lookout for (number of bedrooms, baths), geographic location, sort of property (townhouse, single household dwelling, etc.), maximum quantity you're prepared to spend on rent and purchase, and anything that's relevant.
If the proprietor agrees to seller financing, it'll assist you to purchase the house, however there are some issues you will need to consider earlier than you conform to the financing. Every seller would require proof that you've got the down fee. Sellers also benefit from tax breaks, a shorter itemizing time period, and infrequently a better sales value. The consumers and sellers met and talked greater than as soon as earlier than agreeing to the contract.
Proprietor financing is commonly direct; the only value you incur is the quantity you pay for the home and the interest as per your settlement with the vendor. These houses are available to purchase with an affordable down cost, and monthly payments to comply with for a decided period. The owner-seller is taking a risk by financing your sale, and in return they might want a bigger down cost or higher curiosity.
Solely $19,900 – proprietor could consider financing with large down cost.
Do you know that 83% of renters would slightly personal their very own house? So it is unrealistic to assume someone is going to sell you their home for this. Our properties range in worth from $25,900 to $seventy nine,900 and sometimes require a down cost of $3,000 to $10,000. Owner Financing is on the market for a lot of properties, heaps and land on the market in Delaware, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Instead of working through a financial institution, you may give a financing instrument to the vendor and make funds on to them.
Proprietor financing can carry a better rate of interest than a vendor may obtain in a money market account or other low-danger kinds of investments. You'll most likely encounter sellers who is likely to be fascinated however do not know loads about seller financing, so be prepared to elucidate it to them and assist them understand why they might wish to think about it. Be ready to have that conversation as a result of not everybody is aware of what seller financing is.
Sellers also face the danger of damage to the house and being on the hook for the price of repairs. They should totally clarify to the buyer what seller financing is, how it works and why the buyer ought to consider it. A pending itemizing means a seller has accepted a suggestion from a purchaser. Whether Chuck was representing us as the client or vendor, I am assured he at all times had our greatest pursuits at heart.
If you happen to ask the seller immediately, the vendor is more likely to say no. Sellers usually reject the suggestion of proprietor financing as a result of no one has explained the benefits or proposed proprietor financing as a strategy to sell the home. Because the vendor is offering proprietor financing, the seller may be able to command full listing value or larger. This dwelling lists at $2.5 million, but the seller will work with you even when the financial institution has declined your utility.
In the real property world, this is often known as "Owner Will Carry", "Proprietor May Carry", "Inventive Financing" , "Seller Carry back", or related.

Myer English School in Japan
Enjoyable Eikaiwa School for children and adults alike
Specific Purposes
Myer English School – Fukuoka, Japan
Thinking of teaching English in Japan? Here's what you need to know…
EFL industry
The demand for learning English in Japan is huge. English lessons are now provided in most Junior and High Schools, and many Elementary Schools and Kindergartens are starting to offer English classes on a selective basis.
"Native" English speakers
People who speak English as their first language are collectively dubbed "Native" speakers in Japan. Since there is a growing expectation that instructors of English should be native speakers, native speakers are very much in demand in both the public and private sectors.
The ever-growing demand for teachers from English-speaking countries has prompted the government to devise a special work visa specifically for people traveling to Japan for the purpose of teaching English: the "Specialist in Humanities and International Services" visa.
Many English schools now offer Skype lessons where teachers can teach English to enthusiastic students from the office. Skype: a peer to peer internet telephony network program allows those who have the program installed to speak to each other from anywhere in the world for free. For a small charge (depending on the country) Skype to telephone or Skype to mobile phone is possible as well.
Teaching children
Whether because of the overwhelming pressures of a competitive education system, or because it's widely agreed that a child's capacity to acquire and retain language skills far exceeds that of adults, more and more parents and teachers are introducing children to English lessons.
Teaching conversation
English Conversation classes make up the majority of lessons in private English schools. The next section addresses the private "Eikaiwa" industry separately, but click HERE to read class descriptions, sample lesson plans and some basic teaching methods.
Eikaiwa schools
All School kids in Japan study English for at least 3 years, and the curriculum focuses principally on correct grammar and direct translation of sentences. The "Eikaiwa" or "Conversation Room" industry has grown out of a desire for Japanese people to use the English they have studied to learn to communicate in a more meaningful way.
Schools :
Nishijin, Sawara-ward, Fukuoka
Daimyo, Chuo-ward, Fukuoka

Is This The Heir To The Kennedy Throne We've Been Waiting For?
From: Instinct
Congressman Joe Kennedy III waving at a parade in 2012.
Martin Grondin, Creative Commons
We've heard stories of Camelot and we know how quickly it was taken away from us on November 22, 1963. The hopes and aspirations of a long Kennedy presidency are still mentioned to this day and how different the nation would be. Since then, the nation has pined for someone to pick up the promises of and return us to Camelot.
There have been exceptional Kennedys in the past that have given us hope as well as a great many years of service. Edward "Ted" Kennedy served Massachusetts and the nation for nearly 47 years until his death in 2009. Even his son Patrick was a US Representative for the state of Rhode Island until 2011 when he chose not to seek re-election.
Enter Joe. Taking over the Representative seat from our retired influential friend Barney Frank, Joseph Kennedy III was sworn into the role of US Representative from Massachusetts in January of 2013. Many wondered if he would shine as his Kennedy forefathers did. We think he's doing just fine.
On March 2, 2017, US Rep. Joe Kennedy III read the names of the known transgender women killed in the United States up to that point in 2017, followed with a personal pledge to fight for LGBTQ rights.
Pointing to the seven transgender women who were reportedly killed in the first two months of 2017, U.S. Rep. Joe Kennedy III, D-Brookline, pledged Thursday to lead the fight against policies and "hate-inspired violence" that threaten the LGBTQ community.
Kennedy, who will chair the Congressional LGBT Equality Caucus' newly relaunched Transgender Equality Task Force, acknowledged that while the panel has "a rocky road ahead," the reported killings and recent actions by President Donald Trump's administration make its work more critical than ever.
"We will fight back against a Justice and an Education Department that turns a blind eye to discrimination in our schools," he said, referencing the recent rollback of protections for transgender students in schools during a Capitol Hill news conference. - masslive.com
One act that truly fulfilled this pledge was his vehement opposition to Trump's attempt to replace Obama's openly gay nominee Eric Fanning as the new Army Secretary with the anti-gay Tennessee Republican, Mark Green. Kennedy has a portion of his website dedicated to EQUALITY. One of the items in there is as follows:
KENNEDY: ARMY SECRETARY NOMINEE UNFIT FOR OFFICE
Apr 27, 2017 Press Release
Washington, D.C. – In a letter to Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman John McCain (R-AZ), Congressman Joe Kennedy III today urged the Senate to reject the nomination of Tennessee State Senator Mark Green as Secretary of the Army. In addition to claiming that being transgender is a 'disease,' Green has referred to the transgender community as 'evil' and likened them to ISIS terrorists. - kennedy.house.gov/on-the-issues/equality
Firey politics indeed, but this is what we are seeing Kennedy define himself as, someone who does care for the LGBT community.
When someone uses your own words against you, do you have a leg to stand on? Mark Green said in a statement Friday that "false and misleading attacks" against him had turned his nomination into a distraction.
"Tragically, my life of public service and my Christian beliefs have been mischaracterized and attacked by a few on the other side of the aisle for political gain."
Green is the second Trump nominee for Army secretary to withdraw. We don't feel bad. Did Kennedy's words have something to do with it?
Joe Kennedy III is a member of the House of Representatives, the government body that just voted in the positive to repeal the Affordable Care Act / Obamacare. We know Joe did not vote in the positive for this because of his words below. They weren't just words about the ACA itself, but what this ACA repeal means and how it represents the wishes of the current presidency. Have a listen.
His speech was on Thursday, before the vote to repeal occurred. But the beauty of video is it can be viewed again and again. It can be viewed by constituents like us as well as the Senators that have the ability to stop the repeal before it becomes law.
Video, it's how most of us learned about President John F. Kennedy and his time in office, his hopes for the future, his beliefs. We have a feeling that we will be seeing more of Joseph P. Kennedy III. We want to see more of Joseph P. Kennedy III. Keep up the great work Joe!

HHS televisions tuned into Fox News
From: Politico
A security guard looks out of the headquarters of News Corp.,
which owns the Fox News Channel, in Midtown Manhattan on April 19.
The televisions in public areas at the Health and Human Services Department headquarters in Washington have been switched to Fox News. Now the same change appears to have applied to other HHS buildings, including Food and Drug Administration buildings in Maryland.
According to two people who work at the agency, the televisions at the Hubert Humphrey building had previously rotated among the three main cable channels every three days or so. But since shortly after the Trump administration took over, the televisions have been on Fox News.
One of the sources suggested that the information came from "high up" in the agency. (Our colleague Dan Diamond first pointed out in January that the televisions were tuned to Fox.) Now, a new internal email that appears to be from the agency's White Oak campus in Silver Spring, posted to Twitter by several reporters, says current administration officials ordered the change.
The email states in part: "The reason for the change is that a decision from the current administration administrative officials (sic) has requested that all monitors, under our control, on the White Oak Campus, display Fox News."
BuzzFeed and The Wall Street Journal report that some of the televisions have since been turned off or switched back to other networks.
A spokesperson at FDA denied that such a directive was sent.
"There was no directive or memorandum from the Administration that went out to employees about broadcast news channels displaying on monitors in common areas throughout the FDA's White Oak campus," the spokesperson said.
The change in televisions does not seem to be widespread across other agencies. Sources at the Departments of Labor and Agriculture have said in recent weeks that their televisions are not restricted to one channel. Spokespeople for Health and Human Services did not respond to specific questions about the televisions at the HHS headquarters.

Harvey Fierstein is Back, and A Queer Renaissance is Making Broadway Fabulous Again
Neil Patrick Harris proclaimed Broadway is "Not Just For Gays Anymore," the delightful opening song of the 2011 Tony Awards. Gone were the days of theater as the exclusive domain of tap dancing in 42nd Street and jazz hands in A Chorus Line. Audiences have flocked to the theater to see safe, pleasant productions like Grease and Jersey Boys, and of course the American consciousness is currently obsessed with the hip-hop score of Hamilton.
But good old-fashioned glamorous theater, with self-indulgent drama and big dance sequences, is popular again, perhaps led by the success of Kinky Boots, in its fourth year on Broadway of educating audiences about drag queens and fetish footwear. Gaggles of gay men are once again reclaiming their theatrical turf, converging from across America and descending upon Broadway theaters to see shows rife with high camp, over-the-top costumes and toe-tapping tunes.
Theatrical power players have certainly noticed the gentle shift, and are on the hunt for musicals and plays that serve up a heavy dose of drama while remembering to still leave audiences smiling. Tina Fey's musical version of Mean Girls is opening in Washington, D.C. on October 31 for its pre-Broadway trial, and Elton John is working on his musical adaptation of The Devil Wears Prada. Cate Blanchett, fresh off her Broadway run in a play called The Present, is booked to star in a stage production of All About Eve in London opening in 2018, and that play is going to be so delicious it is almost impossible to comprehend.
Two gay men from different generations negotiate the ups and downs of developing a relationship, amidst the social and historical implications of LGBTQ equality. It sounds serious, but it's charming and funny.
Why The Gays Are Going
The show itself is quite good, but the draw here is the lead actor, Harvey Fierstein. As an openly gay man, he was one of the first artists to bring the LGBTQ experience to the public with his plays, musicals, and movies, causing quite a ruckus when he started in the 1980's–long before Ellen Degeneres made her coming out announcement on her show. He has a long list of awards for his work both as a writer and an actor, including two Tonys, one for writing and one for Best Actor, in the astounding AIDS-era drama Torch Song Trilogy (fun fact: he shared the stage with Estelle Getty, a.k.a. Sophia Petrillo in The Golden Girls). Younger generations of theater fans may know him as Edna Turnblad, the mom in Hairspray, for which he won a Tony award for Best Actor in 2013, and he also played the role in the 2016 TV version of Hairspray Live! Millennials probably didn't know when they were watching Hairspray Live!, they weren't just watching a drag queen, they were watching royalty.
And those in the know are now going to see him in Gently Down The Stream at The Public, because of course the show is amazing.

Gay Teen In Chechnya Pushed Off Ninth Floor Balcony By Uncle
The 17-year-old was pushed to his death in an attempt to "wash away the shame" from his family
More harrowing reports of harassment, torture and murder of gay men continue to pour out of Chechnya: One fugitive recounted details of the homosexual purge to the Russian magazine Snob, detailing how he came out to his mullah.
"As a Chechen and as a man I do not want to see you here. Neither in the mosque, nor in this district," he was told by the teacher. "I want you to leave now, because everything you said is the most disgusting thing you can find out. I hope your relatives have the dignity to wash away your shame. Go away."
The mullah then related an incident involving a 17-year-old, who was pushed off a ninth floor balcony to his death by an uncle ashamed of his homosexuality. Police have reportedly been telling families to "sort out" their gay children or else the state will intervene. At least six concentration camps have been set up for sexual minorities in Chechnya, with reports of beatings and electrocutions.
Chechan president Ramzan Kadyrov has issued contradictory statements about the anti-gay pogrom, first claiming through a spokesperson that "you cannot arrest or repress people who just don't exist," and then announcing he would rid the region of gay people by the start of Ramadan, later this month.
Russian president Vladimir Putin downplayed reports of the attrocities as "rumors," but this week agreed to allow a government human-rights official to begin an investigation.

Cam Gigandet in The Shadow Effect
Cam Gigandet is one of Hollywood's hottest, and most talented actors but except for the short lived 2014 television series, Reckless, I haven't seen too much of him the last few years. I believe Cam's appearance The Shadow Effect marks his second only nude scene, the last being his sexy turn in 2010's Burlesque.
Cam's character Gabriel spends a fair bit of time in his boxer briefs, but usually when he's hovered over a toilet bowl getting sick. Gabriel is not having the best of days, and things get even worse when Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Michael Biehn join the mix. Thankfully, he comes 'out of it' near the end in a scene the films director wisely decided should have Cam wet.... and naked.

After Merkel plea, Putin backs probe into Chechen gay attacks
From: WION
While speaking to the Kremlin ombudswoman in televised comments,
Putin referred to the reports as "rumours, you could say,
about what is happening in our North Caucasus with people of non-traditional orientation,"
using a euphemism meaning gay.

Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday backed an official check into reported brutal attacks on gay men in Chechnya in his first public comment after German Chancellor Angela Merkel confronted him on the issue.
Putin said he would personally "talk to the prosecutor-general and the interior minister" to ask them to help Kremlin rights ombudswoman Tatyana Moskalkova check the reports which have caused an international scandal.
"I hope the colleagues respond and support you," Putin told Moskalkova, whose role is to investigate rights abuses but is widely seen as a loyalist establishment figure.
At a joint press conference with Putin on Tuesday in Moscow, Merkel raised the "very negative reports" and said she had asked Putin to "use his influence to guarantee the rights of minorities."
While speaking to the Kremlin ombudswoman in televised comments, Putin referred to the reports as "rumours, you could say, about what is happening in our North Caucasus with people of non-traditional orientation," using a euphemism meaning gay.
In March, the Novaya Gazeta opposition daily reported that Chechen authorities were imprisoning and torturing gay men in the conservative region where homosexuality is taboo.
It said the authorities had detained more than 100 gay men and urged their families to kill them to "wash clean their honour." At least two had been killed by relatives and a third died after being tortured, it reported.
A group of Chechen men in a safe house near Moscow later confirmed to AFP that they had fled the region in fear of their lives after being beaten and imprisoned.
Chechnya's strongman leader Ramzan Kadyrov has fiercely denied claims of a crackdown in the socially conservative region.
The muscle-bound former insurgent turned Kremlin-loyalist responded to Putin's comments on Friday by telling journalists his authorities were "ready to closely cooperate" with Moskalkova, RIA Novosti news agency reported.
But he claimed that majority-Muslim Chechnya does not have any gay people and suggested some gay people may be pretending to be Chechen to get asylum in the West.
"Chechen society does not have the phenomenon called non-traditional sexual orientation: its people have lived for thousands of years according to different rules laid down by Allah," Kadyrov said.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov initially downplayed the reports, saying there had been "no confirmation" of violence and arrests.
After a delay, Russian investigators have said they are probing the allegations.
Moskalkova said last month there had been no official complaints from victims.
But on Friday she said that there needed to be a mechanism for victims to report abuse when they are outside Chechnya and asked Putin to help create a working group to receive such complaints. She stressed that victims' anonymity will be protected.
This week, the foreign ministers of Britain, France, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden wrote to their Russian counterpart Sergei Lavrov to press for an immediate end to any persecution of gay men in Chechnya.

Tom Daley And Dustin Lance Black Marry In Fairytale Castle Wedding
"Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?"
Olympic diver Tom Daley, 22, and Oscar-winning filmmaker Dustin Lance Black, 42, have reportedly tied the knot.
The Sun reports that the intimate yet lavish wedding took place yesterday at Bovey Castle in the English countryside.
Before the civil partnership ceremony, Daley reportedly imitated Shakespeare's Juliet on the Bovey Castle balcony, singing, "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?" to his betrothed.
The ceremony, scored by a string quartet, was held in the posh venue's Cathedral Room and followed by a three-course meal and "massive cake" that Daley ordered personally. Daley wore a burgundy suit while Black wore navy. Guests later danced into the wee hours in the Dartmoor Suite ballroom.

Happy Anniversary my love. 3.22.13 #FourYears #Cornwall2013 🐸❤🐵
Just 50 close friends and relatives gathered at the five-star golf resort, which is located in Dartmoor National Park, 30 miles from Daley's hometown of Plymouth in Devon County. The couple rented out the entire 58-room hotel for the weekend.
Just days before the wedding, Daley was admitted to the hospital due to a sports-related hip injury.

The couple, who recently celebrated their fourth anniversary, announced their engagement in October 2015. Daley first went public with their relationship in 2013 following a YouTube video in which he spoke publicly about his sexuality for the first time.

It's that time of the month again when I am sharing with you all a look inside the latest Vegan Kind subscription box! This months box turned up at exactly the right time and just as our cupboards were starting to look a bit bare. I think with moving house and everything else that has been going on over the past few weeks, it actually felt like a really long time since the last box which I reviewed on my You Tube channel. I was definitely feeling ready for more vegan treats!
So without further ado, lets take a look at what goodies were inside this months box!
If you're vegan and yet to try a product by Sweet Freedom then you've seriously been missing out! The choc pot is a totally new and versatile product which you can use on anything and everything from your toast, to pancakes, on top of rice cakes or even as a cake topper. The choices really are endless! The other good news is that it's 100% natural, palm oil free and it contains 75% less fat than the leading chocolate spread.
I have to admit that when I first saw this bar I had no idea that it is in fact a yummy bar of chocolate. It was only on opening the packet I realised the amazingness that lay within! This chocolate, which is made up from cacao, cashews and tiger nut, is so incredibly soft and creamy. The strawberry dust topping is quite bitter but together the flavours work so well. This was the first product to get demolished from this box and it's definitely my favourite stand out product of TVK46.
Vegetable crisps are currently my favourite snack and i've been pretty addicted to the Co-Op own brand ones over the past few weeks. I'd never tried these ones by Emily before so I was looking forward to seeing how they compared to my current favourites. I love that they contain sweet potato, carrot and beetroot as I absolutely love all of these vegetables. On first taste I noticed that they definitely taste like a much healthier version than my usual favourites and much less salty. They're very natural tasting and I was surprised by how much I liked them. Their packaging is also beautiful!
Since becoming vegan I feel as though I have tried a lot of different kinds of deodorants and more natural equivalents to my usual every day Superdrug spray one. However, and not through a lack of trying, I have never been able to find one that really agrees with me and does an effective job of keeping my pits feeling fresh all day. The fact that this one is a balm consistency appeals to me quite a lot and the lavender oil within this one makes it smell really lovely. As always I am willing to try new things so i'm looking forward to giving this one a go over the next few weeks. I'll keep you posted with how I get on!
I was so happy to see Candy Kittens included in this box and especially as the Sweet Peach flavour is one I hadn't tried before. I was also really excited to see these sweets in a smaller bag. There's no denying that I love the big bags but there's definitely something quite appealing about this smaller sized variety. From reading the TVK newsletter I also discovered that Candy Kittens are finally working towards making their entire range of sweets vegan friendly - HOORAH! This is such amazing news!
Another completely new product to me, I was really excited to try this handy pouch of smoothie. I am always on the look out for quick, easy and protein high vegan snacks so this seemed to tick all the boxes. Maybe it was a mistake squeezing it out into a glass because the texture and consistency of this smoothie ended up turning my stomach a bit. I'm not entirely sure why but I found it very thick and goopy. Sadly for me it didn't get any better once I tasted it too. The flavour is quite overpowering and wasn't to my liking at all. As with many protein smoothies, I also found it to have quite a grainy / chalky consistency. I guess you can't win them all! But on a positive note it's really good to see a protein company introducing new vegan products to their line.
I'm always happy to see tea bags included in any of the boxes I receive as I am an avid tea drinker and lover. This super berry tea bag was stunning to look at, so incredibly pretty! I almost didn't want to use it! I am not usually very daring when it comes to flavoured teas with green and lemon being as far as I usually take things. I have to say that I was really pleasantly surprised by this one as it wasn't too fragrant tasting or too sweet. It reminded me of a drink similar to hot Ribena which I love! Even my husband agreed that this was a really enjoyable hot drink which I was surprised to hear as he only ever drinks every day tea. Also, for such a high quality tea bag I am impressed that they're only £2.99 for a box of 15 whole leaf tea bags.
As with every TVK box I also received a newsletter which includes discount codes for featured products and information on the featured charity of the month - Food Fight UK - who will receive 10p from every box sold. I wasn't even aware of this charity who provide free vegan food for the hungry people of Glasgow. From what i've seen on their Facebook page it looks like they're providing an amazing service and I feel so happy that they will be benefitting from sales of this box.
Also enclosed in the box was a recipe card for a yummy looking vegan chocolate orange cheesecake by @GingerVegan which includes the Sweet Freedom Choc Pot in its ingredients. I'm hoping to find some time this month to give this recipe a go!
This was another fantastic and varied box by The Vegan Kind who somehow always manage to surprise me with new treats to try. I think you'll also agree that the contents of the box are well worth the £10.00 price tag. Also, don't forget to check out TVK's supermarket which is stocking more and more of those hard to find vegan items. Did you know that you can also order fresh vegan donuts and macarons on their website too!? I can personally vouch for them all being incredible! Check out my donut taste test video here!
What was your favourite item in this months box? Comment below and let me know!

I love Candy Kittens! So rad that they're planning to go 100% vegan. I also really want to try that chocolate bar now, I love freeze dried raspberries and chocolate together.


Truth: Most of your body head is lost through the body not your head. This myth came from an old military study which supposedly showed that people enduring extreme cold lost the most heat from their heads. But the head was the only exposed body part, and you lose heat from whatever is uncovered.There is nothing special about the head.


Oregon State Hospital, Junction City, OR.
Hellmuth, Obata, and Kassabaum, Inc.
Designed for the Oregon State Hospital in Junction City, a psychiatric hospital, Passing Storms portrays the changing weather as metaphor for unpredictable and shifting states of mind. There are two parts: Rain and Cloud. When the viewer looks at Rain out over Prairie Quad, there appears to be a storm of silver rain moving through the space, glittering bits catch the light animated by the wind. Cloud is a shape-shifting form deconstructed into a series of profiles that define its outer surface with the edges and planes catching the different light qualities of day and night.
The architecture of the hospital is quite severe with virtually no visible ornamentation to soften the hard geometry of the buildings. My hope was to create organic form woven into the spaces and the planes of the architecture as if the wind, rain and clouds had been caught in the courtyards. The most important goal was to provide patients at the hospital with an experience that was always changing and interesting, both from inside the rooms looking out onto the open spaces and from within the courtyards themselves. The patients couldn't physically interact with the works so it is light and wind that animate and interact to create a visual experience that is meditative and essentially calming. Storms, clouds and rain had more resonance for the patients who considered these works than a more conventional idea of what would be "cheerful". Their enthusiasm for Passing Storms was an important component in getting all the parties to agree to do them.
Collaboration existed on many levels for this project: aesthetic, technical/engineering and logistical to fit into a swiftly moving construction schedule. It required a great deal of collaboration with a team from the hospital due to the constraints and special requirements of a psychiatric institution. Patients were on the team and they discussed and reviewed the work with hospital administrators, architects, engineers and construction crews to coordinate the on site work. On my design team was Isadore Michas the 3D modeling expert who created the files to build Cloud virtually, a 3D puzzle where each part was custom cut for assembly. The fabricator Andy Tibbetts of Lost Machine Design worked closely with engineers Jonathan Estabrooke and Aaron Burkhardt from KPFF Consulting Engineers to coordinate what became a 'tour de force' structure: a 54' long and 18.5' deep cantilevered structure poised 17' above the patio with no free standing supports. Cloud was attached to a wall not originally designed to receive this kind of load so we had to build additional structures to support it. Cloud was assembled piece by coded piece from bucket lifts and people standing on scaffolding within the forms.
Cloud is 22.75' high, 54' wide, 18.5' deep, made from water-jet cut aluminum that has been powder coated. The support beams are galvanized steel with stainless steel cable and hardware as well as acrylic sheet that is beneath the entire form and makes this cloud canopy a rain shelter. In an amusing twist, only beneath the cloud can you stay dry. Rain is 28' high, 90' wide, 27' deep and made from stainless steel: cable, tensioning hardware, rings and discs.

Children and teens in our Residential Treatment Program had a very special Easter, thanks to our wonderful Iris Auxiliary and the Easter Bunny! Iris volunteers put together bags filled with special treats and gifts, generously donated from our friends at IKEA, and delivered them to youth at our annual Easter celebration. We thank the Iris Auxiliary and IKEA for helping create joyful memories for the children and teens we serve!
