The mast saga has been a frustrating one for our shore manager, Howard Gibbons. Within a few days of losing our rig deep in the Southern Ocean, nearly 2,000 miles from land, he had managed to secure a container ship to bring the replacement from Lymington in Hampshire to Brazil. That, however, was the easy bit. Brazilian customs and red tape have been thwarting international trade for many years and there was no reason why the Whitbread should be any different. So it was with a huge sigh of relief that we gathered on the quayside just over a week ago to witness the delivery of our new mast, carefully wrapped in a 26-metre box bearing good luck messages from back home.
Once it was unwrapped we set to work that night. The heat and the humidity have been unbearable, restricting the hard physical work to the beginning and end of the day when the temperature dipped momentarily below 100 degrees. Within six hours of the mast arriving it was fully assembled and ready to be fitted. Although we had used it during our preparation in the Solent last summer, we still wanted to be sure that everything was in order. The first fitting was perfect. Then followed the detailed inspection, checking and rechecking of every one of the several hundred individual and specially engineered parts.
Meanwhile, the sail makers have been busy preparing the wardrobe. We have replaced those sails which were damaged beyond repair when the rig came down - a spinnaker staysail, masthead spinnaker and mainsail. Several of the new sails were delayed in customs and arrived only a matter of minutes before they had to be submitted for measurement, to ensure they conform to the rules.
But we have made it to the start line in good shape. All the repairs have been completed and we even managed to have a day off. Our crew is unchanged. Even though a couple of the boats have opted to go with 11 crew, we have stuck to our guns and are sailing with 12 because the hot sultry conditions we will experience around the Equator can sap the strength just as much as the severe cold.
We have made one small concession to the heat - a series of small fans which will help circulate the air below decks. We will be taking a minimum of personal kit - one T-shirt and pair of shorts only. We will have to take slightly more diesel than normal as the desalination plant will be working overtime to produce enough water to keep us fully hydrated.
Leg six is predominantly a light-wind leg. We are therefore not taking any storm sails. The huge revolutionary "upwind spinnakers" will come into their own once again. We'll be taking a couple as well as a series of light-air spinnakers. The first few days will be very light and you could see all the boats very close indeed. Off the Brazilian coast there are quite a few windless holes and it could be a bit of a lottery during the first night. During the 1990 race our navigator Vincent Geake, sailing with Lawrie, managed to head offshore and build a lead of nearly 100 miles by the time they passed Recife, on the corner of South America.
We're all very excited about this leg. Above all it gives us an opportunity to prove just what could have been. Our goal is a podium position - we still dream off winning, but realistically that's dependent on Paul Cayard having a series of very bad results. A good podium position is still achievable.
From now on we're sailing every leg as an individual race. We can afford to be more aggressive. There is no doubt that Silk Cut is one of the fastest boats in all conditions,. The crew are more determined than ever and it's about time we enjoyed a purple patch.

Certain to get you hot under the collar by bringing you out in a healthy sweat, you'll find Ashtanga yoga is good for weight loss, flexibility, circulation and strength, and because you spend time focusing on your posture and breathing, it can help you unwind and relax too.
How does it work
Ashtanga yoga is divided into eight spiritual practices (or limbs) which are then broken up into different levels:
- Yama (self-restraint)
- Niyama (observances)
- Asana (postures)
- Pranayama (breath control)
- Pratyahara (sense withdrawal)
- Dharana (concentration)
- Dhyana (meditation); and
- Samadhi (contemplations). Each of these levels supports one another and the postures must be achieved before you can begin reaping the rewards.
If that hasn't confused you, there are also three groups of sequences in the Ashtanga system (no-one said yoga was straightforward)!
- The Primary Series (Yoga Chikitsa) detoxifies and aligns the body
- The Intermediate Series (Nadi Shodhana) purifies the nervous system by clearing the energy systems, and
- The Advanced Series A, B, C and D (Sthira Bhaga) uses the strength gained from the other practices.
By synchronising all of these movements with your breathing, it's no surprise that your body starts to produce an intense internal heat and it's this rise in temperature that purifies muscles and organs and expels those unwanted toxins. According to the teachings of Pattabhi Jois, one of the first known Ashtanga yoga practitioners, the hormones and minerals which are released when the body perspires subsequently nourish the body when the sweat is absorbed back into the skin (yummy).
At the core of Ashtanga yoga you'll find deep and even breathing. Teachers of the practise claim that when you regulate your breathing, each move should become easier to perform. It also ensures better circulation of the blood, so you'll be left feeling as light as a feather but with a body as strong as an ox.
As with most other forms of yoga, Ashtanga is taught in classes that tend to last between 60 and 90 minutes. It's advisable to wear loose, light or Lycra clothing and avoid wearing anything that might cause chaffing or restrict your movement, as head and shoulder stands and abdominal twists are not a rare occurrence. It's also useful to pop in an extra top layer for the end of the session where the focus is on relaxation, and a small towel and yoga mat would go down a treat to stop that sweat spreading.
Is it for me?
People of all ages, mobility and fitness levels can benefit from yoga as it's a holistic discipline with a low risk of injury. It can help to relieve stress, high blood pressure and insomnia because it relaxes you and because you feel less stressed and irritable, your mood will be lifted and can help get rid of that little black cloud that's been following you around.
Because breathing is an integral part of Ashtanga yoga, your lungs will learn to open up and so is a useful treatment for asthmatics to try. By focusing on your breathing, your body will be encouraged to detox and by twisting yourself into certain positions, although you might look and feel rather odd, it will improve flexibility and feed more oxygen to the muscles to boost strength. The twists and turns also help aid digestion as essentially, by arranging yourself in various poses, you're massaging your internal organs.
Good to know
There's evidence that some of the Ashtanga yoga series incorporates exercises used by Indian wrestlers and British gymnasts.

People are pretty frustrated that Jay Z hasn't yet ended his clothing deal with Barneys New York in the wake of allegations that the retailer harassed and detained two shoppers simply for being black and buying expensive things. Jay Z, however, is so far unmoved by the mounting fury of the New York media, insisting that he'd rather take a wait-and-see approach to the Barneys racial profiling fiasco before he ends his collaboration with the store.

I work at a local business and any time I need something quick, fresh, and delicious for lunch this is my top pick!
This was my first time here and I decided to try it out because I'm trying to eat healthier . I ordered the Caribbean Chicken Pita, which was very good! You can pick what items you want in your pita or they can make it based on the menu. I will be back!
My husband works in town and goes here many times during the week for lunch. The owner and all the staff are really nice and friendly, and the food is always fresh and yummy. My teenage girls don't love burgers, but they really like this, and it is even pretty healthy. Great to have a quick take-out non-burger hot lunch...
Upon entering the restaurant, I immediately received a warm welcome. Having never been in a Pita Pit before, the cashier took time to explain the various menu offerings and how to personalize my pita sandwich or select from some specialty pitas.. The chicken was prepared fresh and I could customize my toppings. Portion size was ample. The service was quick...
Love this place! I was visiting my old college town and stopped by for a quick lunch. Same great food and service that I recall from my undergrad days. The cherry on top? The cashier who took my order noticed my military ID and I found out that I got a discount as well. I shall be back here for...
Upon entering the establishment I was greeted with a warm welcome and a smile. The food was hot and fresh when I received it. It looked appetizing and almost looked like the picture on the menu board. The taste of the chicken was moist and juicy and the size of the pita was perfect for the price. I will definitely...
My husband took me to Pita Pit. It is delicious. You pick your own pita fillers such as falafel, greens, veggies. Delicious. Great for a quick stop to get a bite while walking around West Chester or to sit and take a break.

Melding The Old and The New
By Carlo Longino, Fri May 06 23:00:00 GMT 2005
Mobile phones are provoking renewed interest in a centuries-old form of Japanese poetry, illustrating how new technologies can do more than just destroy old culture and traditions.
, 31-syllable poems akin to extended haiku, are roughly 1,300 years old, but
are having new life breathed into them
by Japan's ubiquitous mobile phones. "Keitai tanka", or mobile phone poems, are being somewhat enthusiastically adopted by a new generation of poets, writing and distributing their work via mobiles. Web sites and magazines are popping up, and there's even an NHK TV show, "Doyo no Yoru wa Keitai Tanka", which translates to "Let's Make Tanka poems on Mobile Phone on Saturday Night".
An NHK producer points out that mobile phones, text messages in particular, have taught kids how to communicate using just a few words -- the same skill needed in writing tanka. Not surprisingly, old-school tanka fans, and writers that spend years mastering the form, turn their noses up at what they see as a poor modern bastardization of a classical literary tradition.
But it's pretty remarkable how texting skills can translate to an ancient art form, and it illustrates how technology, mobile phones in particular, don't just destroy social and cultural fabric, they can stand to
, resuscitate and remix it too.
Another aspect is that in Japan, where ringtones, wallpaper, tchotkes that hang from phones and nearly every other piece of mobile handset personalization and self-expression began, things are almost coming full circle to where youth are using their phones to express themselves in a much more traditional way -- through poetry. And they're falling back on pretty typical teenage fare, judging by the 24,000 poems the NHK show has received: love is the most popular topic, more specifically love gone awry.

Subscribe to the SERP
Get notified on the latest blog post and news!
Choosing an SEO Company is hard. Unfortunately, choosing an SEO company in Orange County is even harder.
But why is it so difficult?
The answer is quite simple: It's hard to tell the difference between each SEO company and why their pricing varies so widely. It is also difficult to understand exactly what an SEO firm is going to do for you and the results from each aspect of their deliverable.
To help alleviate some of your confusion and simplify things, we have created a list of seven questions to ask any SEO company in Orange County, CA before you hire them. Also, we've interviewed 45+ experts in the industry to get their perspective as well. You can find their thoughts on hiring an SEO agency here.
1. Do you do the actual SEO work in-house?
It's a simple question, but in reality, most SEO companies do not do their work in-house. Instead, they manage your account but have another company do the work.
The Directive Consulting Difference:
At Directive Consulting, we have a 10+ person team at our Irvine office. The entire team is dedicated to operations and account management. With our in-house team and intense focus on exceeding client KPI's, we can offer a focused, specialized, and ROI driven strategy.
If we did not control the entire service from account management to fulfillment in-house, we would not be able to deliver as high of a level of service.
2. Do you build and send manual reports?
SEO reporting sucks. The companies know this and they send you to search engine optimization reports that are quite frankly gibberish. As a customer, you should ask for three things in your manual reports:
- What did you do?
- Why did you do it?
- What were the results?
The Directive Consulting Difference:
We send weekly updates for every one of our accounts. These are manually created by your account manager. Our goal in these reports is to maintain a tight feedback loop with our accounts and demonstrate the value of our services.
Also, we send a monthly report. The monthly report is a month over month comparison of our marketing KPI's with detailed breakdowns of the logic behind our work for the month. We want to empower you with the data and insight that you need for yourself and management.
3. How often will I receive reports?
You want to be constantly in the loop. But, you want the hours that you are paying for in your actual internet marketing work, not reporting. With that being said, it's critical to receive consistent updates more so then reports.
The Directive Consulting Difference:
We balance communication with enough data for you to digest and tailor our reporting to your needs. If you need a detailed report every week, then we can accommodate that request, but we prefer to keep the focus on what's next instead of what's been done. To tie it all together, we send monthly reports breaking down KPI's, and weekly updates with what we're are doing.
4. How many keywords will I get?
This is a trick question…
If they tell you a bunch or offer you all these keywords, it's not true. Each page on your website should be dedicated to one primary keyword/topic. Furthermore, with Google's algorithm tailored to historical search and personalized to each user keywords are not the ultimate metric.
The Directive Consulting Difference:
We value the importance of keywords and view them as a surface level indicator of SERP market share. But, we do not think that keyword rankings alone truly change your business or revenue. We like to focus our efforts around conversions. These conversions can vary from eCommerce sales to B2B form submissions.
Our goal is that we can create a clear and transparent way to tie the impact of our marketing efforts with the inputs that have the greatest effect on the things that matter most to you or your company.
5. Who writes your content?
You don't want anyone writing content for search engines. You want content that is written for your target audiences. Better engagement will equal better rankings and conversions.
The Directive Consulting Difference:
We value to search engines and keyword research. In fact, these are both large factors in our content marketing process. However, we believe that content is meant to be read, viewed, and favorably consumed by humans not bots.
Because of that, we take the time to vet every writer and manage everything from content research to editing internally. More control equals a better product for our customer.
6. How will you promote our content?
Remember, the goal of great content isn't just rankings. It is to successfully associate your business with whatever you offer. For example, if you are a plumber in Orange County you want to have such great content that you are the first thing people associate with plumbers in your area.
The Directive Consulting Difference:
Content is a branding opportunity just as much as it is a lead gen opportunity. Content is meant to be consumed. What's the point of creating all that content if no one is actively engaging with it or enjoying it?
At Directive Consulting, we believe that whether you are B2B or B2C, boring or exciting, content can be correctly shared and promoted across social media to build brand affinity with your target market. From LinkedIn to Twitter, we have talented experts in-house who can make sure your content gets the coverage and conversions it deserves.
7. What type of event and conversion tracking will be in place?
While this is a tough subject, it is essential to have in place. If you do not know what is working, then it's hard to know where you should invest more of your budget. Tracking and analytics are the foundations of a great search campaign. Whether you are a small business in Orange County or a global enterprise, having the right metrics in place allows you to interpret and grow your marketing ROI.
The Directive Consulting Difference:
Far too often we take over accounts from other agencies and find little to no conversion tracking in place. When we see this, it's critical that we first establish a clear and agreed upon method of tracking our success. This is step one. With metrics and analytics in place, we can now execute our strategy with precision and accountability. Here's a sample of things we track for our accounts:
- eCommerce sales
- Form submissions
- Email signups
- Phone calls
- Button clicks
- Quality visits
- + any metrics critical to your own marketing KPI's or business

Hong Kong
The biggest ever emigration of people from Hong Kong is expected to take place this year. It is likely that almost 2 per cent of the 6 million population, or about 2,000 per week, will leave, including some of the most highly skilled and prosperous people in the territory.
The Hong Kong Transition Project, at the Hong Kong Baptist University, one of the more sophisticated polling and data-analysis projects tracking attitudes to the change of sovereignty, is working on a minimum estimate of 90,000 -100,000 people leaving this year. This compares with the previous annual exit-rate of about 60,000 people. University researchers estimate at least 1 million people, about 15 per cent of the population, could, in the words of project director Michael DeGolyer, "walk out of Hong Kong tonight".
A more conservative estimate comes from the Hong Kong Policy Research Institute, which believes 700,000 Hong Kong people already hold foreign passports. This is not inconsistent with the 1 million figure, as family members who lack overseas passports can easily leave to join their close relations.
The major countries attracting Hong Kong immigrants - Australia, Canada and the United States - decline to give forecasts of immigration trends and are slow to update figures.
Figures for the past year show the rate of applications and visas issued for the US and Australia are in line with previous years. But emigration to Canada, the most popular destination, is picking up at a tremendous rate. Visa applications almost doubled between 1993 and 1994, from 4,000 households (about 12,000 people) to 7,700 households. Last year there was another increase in applications, with 8,700 households applying. Although high, this level of applications is lower than in the two years which followed the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
Some of those applicants only recently landed in Canada, which explains why landings are at an all-time high. Between 1991 and 1992 they almost doubled, the following year saw a slight decrease, giving way to an increase of more than 20 per cent between 1993 and 1994. Full-year figures are not available for 1995, but the indications are that the landings level remained comparable with 1994.
Another major source of emigration comes from the British nationality scheme, offering British passports to 50,000 households, which can be taken up at any time. The idea was to encourage key job-holders to remain at their posts in the knowledge that they had an escape route to Britain.
There is evidence the scheme is starting to deplete the middle-management ranks of the civil service and the police. An official survey last year showed almost half the police officers above senior superintendent intended to leave before 1997. According to government figures, more than 70 per cent of civil servants taking early retirement in 1994 have emigrated.
Many observers had seen 1995 as the crucial year for emigration but anecdotal evidence suggests even those who have obtained right of residence overseas delayed moving because economic prospects have remained better in Hong Kong.
Now there is a feeling among those who have the means to go that the party is over. Dr DeGolyer says there is now a shift in the pattern of emigration, moving from the previous pattern of people preparing an escape-hatch to a situation where "they are pulling up roots and heading out".
His research shows half those going are now taking their assets and two- thirds are leaving with all immediate family members. Previously asset movement was limited and it was common for only part of the family to move overseas.

Browning® Citori White Lightning 12 Gauge Over / Under Shotgun. Perfection, naturally.
"You get what you pay for." Mostly true. But not here... because with a Browning Citori Over and Under, you get much more. The Citori boasts a level of hand-fitting, polishing and assembly that rivals guns costing hundreds, sometimes thousands of dollars more. The extra attention to detail does more than assure smooth operation and flawless looks -- it adds longevity and integrity, so it's ready for the next generation.
The Citori Lightning sports the lightning-style rounded pistol grip, which offers a more open grip than full pistol grip designs. Many shooters feel this gives a slight speed-to-shoulder advantage. The rounded pistol grip represents a midpoint in design between ultra-speedy straight grips and extremely stable full pistol grips. It offers excellent control for whatever you're after -- fast-flying waterfowl, upland game or just shooting fun.
The White Lightning version features a natural, non-blued, non-case-hardened receiver and trigger guard that give it a very distinctive look. But don't be afraid...the natural color steel receiver and trigger guard are protected from corrosion by a durable coating process called "nitriding."
Citori White Lightning Over / Under Shotgun special features:
- Natural "left in white" receiver and trigger guard with nitrided finish for corrosion resistance
- Beautiful Grade II / III walnut stock with gloss finish and precision cut checkering
- Steel receiver with iconic high-relief engraving
- Lightning rounded pistol grip stock bridges the gap between the speedy straight grip and the firm full-pistol grip
- Hammers are powered by powerful coil-type mainsprings for positive primer ignition
- Convenient barrel selector allows you to choose which barrel fires on the first pull of the single trigger
- Ejectors are activated by a sharp hammer blow for more positive ejection. Automatic ejectors eject fired shells when the breech is opened and elevate unfired shells for easy removal
- Transverse-mounted, full-width tapered locking bolt allows the bolt to seat deeper over the years -- that's why people say the Citori wears in, not out
- Chrome-plated chambers resist the toll thousands of shells can take on lesser guns
- Invector-PlusTM choke system works hand-in-hand with back-boring to offer consistent, dense shot patterns; includes full, modified and improved cylinder chokes
Shotgun specifications:
- Gauge: 12
- Action: Over / under
- Capacity: 2

shaking/ shuttering
I have a 2002 ford Focus auto. Every time i come to a stop the car shutters/shakes. it
gets worse when it warms up. It doesnt really do it if i put the car in neutral. but ss
soon as i put it into drive its starts shaking again. I also notice that when i turn my
head lights on it shakes or if i turn the heat on. is there anyone who can help and figure
out why it does this?
7 Answers
I think you have some broken mounts. Engine or transmission. Raise the hood,start it and put it in drive and reverse giving it gas while pushing the brake.See if the engine lunges forward or back. It will move a little when going back and forth but not a lot when normal.
Have someone help you do it if you can.
I had the passenger side done but its still the same.
Does it run fine other than that?
yes it does. It does overheat if im in stop and go traffic. the fan is on, so not sure on that...
Is the check engine light on?
nope. but i can have my bf plug it into the scanner and see if something comes up.

How to Avoid Five Amateur Trading Mistakes
When it comes to being a first-time trader, there are a number of challenges that any amateur will likely face. If you are just getting started in the trading realm it is important to understand that you will make mistakes from time to time. However, it is even more paramount that you understand what the biggest mistakes are and how to avoid them at all costs. Keep these amateur trading mistakes in mind as you work to navigate the waters of the day trading to keep yourself on the best path possible to success.
1. Deciding to Average Down
So many new traders will enter into the day trading realm and start accidentally doing something called "averaging down." Simply put this is the process of adding a few additional shares of a company you have stock in, at a lower price than you originally bought, in an effort to bring down the average price you paid for all of your shares. This process may work from time to time, but it almost always leads to a large loss. This can be especially problematic for day traders that need to operate in a short window of time. I am mainly a swing trader, which is anywhere from days to weeks (and occasionally months) as far as length of a position being held.
2. Risking Too Much
So many amateur traders get excited about the prospect of trading, especially when they are starting to make some money, that they will inevitable start risking too much. Many traders have a rule of thumb that they shouldn't risk more than 1-10% of their capital on any single trade. Different traders may have different rules on that, but the important point is that too many amateurs are risking too much when they get started. Set your limits, don't risk too much capital and make sure that you stick with your own guidelines. Going too big, or all in on any one position was the biggest mistake I made when I was learning the stock market. I teach my students how to properly plan for the position size of a trade.
3. Trading Right After You Hear News
This is a very common problem and fortunately one that you can avoid, simply by not doing it. When news headlines about a particular company or the market hits, countless traders will attempt to make rash trade decisions and hop on board different bandwagons. Avoid this volatile moves, as there is a great deal of risk involved when so many people attempt to make the same move and the stock has already moved on the news. This is called chasing, and it can often lead to losses. I teach my students how to find an entry that is not chasing.
4. Making Emotions Part of the Equation
Ask any expert trader about their keys to success and they will likely tell you about their lack of emotion while trading. You need to be disciplined and prevent yourself from getting emotionally involved in your trades. Work on keeping your emotions in check. Stop getting emotionally involved, stop worry about being a "loser" or making the wrong choices, and stop wearing your emotions on your sleeve regarding wins or losses. One of the best ways to keep emotions disconnected from money is my making smaller trades, you will be far less emotionally charged over smaller financial decisions than large ones. I train my students how to control the emotional aspect of trading.
5. Lack of Specificity
There are so many traders that go into trading for the first time, thinking it will be any easy way to make money, no matter what trades they make or companies they invest in. A lack of specialization can be a major issue for amateur traders. Most new traders don't think about initially specializing, but this can cause a number of problems and make the trading process overwhelming. Pick a strategy, focus on it and work on analyzing this specific strategy in-depth, it is the best way to make sure you are starting off with smart trades. My strategy is specific and it is ideal for those that work full time jobs and also want to make money in the stock market while excelling at their normal jobs.

A New Third Way/No Labels Movement - A Coalition Between Progressives and the Alt-Right?
On the left, you have Justice Democrats, Glenn Greenwald, the Young Turks, the Sane Progressive, Jill Stein and Ed Schultz. On the right, you have Breitbart, Michael Flynn, Donald Trump and Alex Jones. What do they have in common?
* A desire for better relations with Russia.
* A belief that U.S. elections are not legitimate and are rigged.
* Attacks on trade agreements as victimizing the U.S. economy.
* A resentment of "establishment" Democrats and Republicans who are only seeking to promote the interests of global elites.
* A belief in a conspiracy by a shadowy deep state that is working to promote the interests of global elites and seeking to promote a cold war with Russia.
The Alt-Right and Justice Democrats, for example, rail against the global financial powers and the corporate establishment. For example, sounding like a Justice Democrat, Trump repeatedly attacked Hillary Clinton of working for the "global elite" and bankers:
Donald J. Trump on Thursday accused Hillary Clinton of guiding a global power structure that has rigged the economy against the working class, language that some suggested echoed anti-Semitic themes.
Indeed, the Alt-Right and Progressives sometimes share the same talking points as explained by Samantha Bee in her segment on the Deep State.
Even on issues where the left and right clearly disagree such as issues of race or sexism, you will have both the far left and alt-right agreeing that such issues are just identity politics that should be ignored in favor of an inward looking economic populism that promotes a U.S. withdrawal from international engagement.
My prediction is that as we approach the 2018 elections we will once again see the rise of both the Alt-Right and the Justice Democrats attacking "establishment" Democrats and Republicans as being essentially the same. Indeed, I have no doubt that on both the left and right, you will see a dramatic increase in online activity by folks pushing this alt-right/progressive view that largely overlaps on the issues referenced above.

Left, Right and Russia - A Progressive and Alt-Right Coalition?
When you have Russian affiliated networks and groups like Russia Today funding both left leaning and right wing personalities is Russia really being partial to the left or right? Or, are they simply trying to destablize the U.S. and using useful idiots regardless of political ideology?
You have the right attacking reports of Russian election influence through Deepstate conspiracies:
Likewise, you have progressives like Glenn Greenwald, TYT and the Sane Progressive attacking such reports from the left:
Indeed, you have Russian outlets like Russia Today keeping progressives like Ed Schultz and Thom Hartman on its payroll:
In 2011, when Trump was reportedly thinking of running for president (again), Schultz wrote in the Huffington Post: When it comes down to the devil in the detail of dealing with the issues . . . and making real change, Trump, you dont have it. Youve never had it. Money is not a measure of a mans character or success in the arena of public service.

Trump: Iran 'not living up to the spirit' of nuclear deal, despite compliance
Source: ABC News
President Donald Trump said today that Iran is "not living up to the spirit" of the nuclear deal signed in 2015 under President Obama, just two days after Trump's administration reported that Iran was complying with the requirements laid out in the landmark agreement.
Trump made the remarks at a joint press conference with Italian Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni Thursday after he was asked if he had "reason to suspect that cheating" on the deal. On Tuesday the administration notified Congress that Iran was continuing to comply with the terms of the deal, a notice that must be given every 90 days.
Iran signed the agreement, formally titled the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in 2015 along with the United States and members of the United Nations Security Council.
"I think they are doing a tremendous disservice to an agreement that was signed," said Trump, adding "we're analyzing it very, very carefully and we'll have something to say about it in the not-too-distant future."

Insurers Stem Losses, and May Soon Profit, From Obamacare Plans
Source: MSN/NY Times
In contrast to the dire pronouncements from President Trump and other Republicans, the demise of the individual insurance market seems greatly exaggerated, according to a new financial analysis released Friday.
The analysis, by Standard & Poors, looked at the performance of many Blue Cross plans in nearly three dozen states since President Barack Obamas health care law took effect three years ago. It shows the insurers significantly reduced their losses last year, are likely to break even this year and that most could profit albeit some in the single-digits in 2018. The insurers cover more than five million people in the individual market.
After years in which many insurers lost money, then lost even more in 2015, we are seeing the first signs in 2016 that this market could be manageable for most health insurers, the Standard & Poors analysts said. The market is not in a death spiral, they said.
It is the latest evidence that the existing law has not crippled the market where individuals can buy health coverage, although several insurers have pulled out of some markets including two in Iowa just this week. They and other industry specialists have cited the uncertainty surrounding the Congressional debate over the law, and the failed effort two weeks ago by House Republicans to bring a bill to the floor for a vote.

Democratic Congressman Rips Trump For His Unconstitutional Strike On Syria
Source: PoliticsUSA
During an interview on MSNBC, Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, said that Trumps missile strike against Syria was unconstitutional and warned the president not to do it again.
Rep. Lieu said, Clearly, the president can take limited actions that the Congress has authorized such as going against terrorists who were involved with 9/11 or in terms of Iraq when Congress authorized the use of force in 2002, but theres been no congressional authorization to launch fifty-nine cruise missiles at a country that has not attacked us. Donald Trumps action last night was unconstitutional. He should not do it again.
MSNBCs Katy Tur asked Lieu if he would have voted for authorization if Trump had come to Congress. The congressman from California answered, I might have if he would have articulated a strategy, and that is one of my fundamental problems with what he did. There has been no coherent strategy from the Trump administration. Last week, they signaled they were okay with Assad even though he had previously killed hundreds of thousands of people in Syria and used chemical weapons. Last night, they attacked the Assad regime. We need to know what is the Trump administration thinking and what is their long-term strategy in Syria?
The questions that Rep. Lieu asked are why Trump didnt go to Congress for approval before he launched missiles against Syria. The Trump administration has no Syria plan. The administrations message has been inconsistent on Assad. It was appropriate for the US to respond, but the way that Donald Trump carried out the response was unconstitutional.

Rolling Stone - What to Make of Trump's About-Face on Syria
Why did Trump oppose intervention when over a thousand Syrians were killed in chemical attacks, but launched a missle strike almost immediately after about 80 people were killed shortly after declaring that the U.S. was no longer in the business of opposing the Assad regime?
A reasonable argument could have been made for intervention if the U.S. had been consistent in explaining why the international community could not tolerate the casual use of WMDs. But, to offer mix messages and military action with the impulsivity of a tweet is dangerous.
There are several ways to look at Donald Trump's abrupt about-face on Syria. One is that Thursday night's Tomahawk missile strike on an airbase near Homs a so-called "proportional response" to the Assad regime's apparent sarin gas attack on Tuesday was a cave to the Pentagon and a signal that at long last "the adults have taken control," as a military source, echoing the entire D.C. foreign policy establishment, puts it. Some believe a nascent national security strategy may be in the works. On the other hand, Trump is Trump.

Ezra Klein - Trumps foreign policy is dangerously impulsive
The cruise missile strikes President Donald Trump launched in reprisal for Bashar al-Assads chemical weapon attack in Syria are well within the norms of American foreign policy. But they fall far outside the stated boundaries of Trumps foreign policy, and reflect an administration bereft of a consistent, considered approach to the world an approach that would make Americas actions predictable to both our friends and enemies, and guide the commitments were willing to make in the event of escalation or reprisal.

Foreign Policy Review (2016) - Trumps Syria Strategy Would Be a Disaster - Precient
While Trump does his best to blame President Obama, will the media note that candidate Trump was a big fan of Assad's regime and wanted to partner with Assad:
The president-elect wants to ally with Assad and Russia to fight the Islamic State but hes going to end up empowering extremists and causing chaos across the Middle East.

We're looking to return at the end of next year and are being quoted almost 20% more by agents than we paid this spring. Does this seem right or are we missing something?
Yep .... prices are increasing every year to the point that I can no longer afford to take my family to the Maldives any more.
In April 2006 years ago I paid £3200 for a week on Meeru & a week on Bandos for 2 adults & 2 children in one room on B&B .
This years quote is coming in at a whopping £7200.
Thailand ..... here I come.
pound gets weaker from £1.98 to £1.34 V the $ over last few years the cost must go up,good for the Germans when the Euro was strong not so good now.
IT IS definitely more expensive. 20 to 25% higher for Feb/March 2011 compared to this year. Am looking at prices since two weeks now and my husband and I have to admit that this will probably be our last time to the Maldives. What a pity.
Someone says : Thailand. Is it in any way comparable as far as snorkelling is concerned? If so where in Thailand should we go? We were there in 1992 on a round trip and never thought about anything else but travelling and a the end of the trip we took a few days in Puket but we didn't like it that much. Tell me.
Perhaps you could consider tryng a cheaper island or a cheaper time of the year. We went to Fihalhohi in May this year and found it to be cheap "£900 for weeks full board each and very good. OK it is not 5 star but it is a very acceptable standard with an outstanding reef. Personally, I would rather spend my £900 here than a week in Cuba or Dom Rep or Egypt at another time of the year.
I am sure you all know what you want from a holiday and a cheaper island might not do it for you - but it just might be worth a try if you can get the right price.
That should read £900 for 2 weeks FB - sorry
I am a regular to Thailand but thought we would go to the Maldives for a few days after spending Easter in Sri Lanka. I cannot believe the prices. It looks like we have to spend well over $4000 for 4 days. I could spend 2 weeks in a 5 star resort in Thailand for this amount.
However I am presuming that the Maldives has far superior coral and beaches - perhaps I am wrong.
We have also been to Fiji several times - anyone been to Fiji and the Maldives? How do the two compare?
I have to agree with caznbaz, the only way we could probably afford the Maldives now is to go off season & last minute but without the children (now aged 11 & 13). The weather is a risk factor but still the cheapest option.
Lucie, try Egypt for snorkling, Red Sea, can't beat it!!!
While I love the resorts that I have been to there is no way I can justify the money that they are asking, but it seems that there are plenty of people who are paying the big money.
Agree with Rousey about Egypt. It's not the Maldives but Taba (Egypt) is a good cheaper alternative & the snorkeling & diving is very good.

Horton also was tabbed National Defensive Back of the Week by College Football Performance Awards. In addition, he won Defensive Player of the Week honors in the Pac-12 Conference.
Horton intercepted two passes in Saturday's 10-7 win at 25th-ranked USC. He ran the first one back 70 yards for WSU's only touchdown, then picked off a second pass late in the game to preserve the win.
"A lot of it was the defensive play calling," the modest, soft-spoken Horton said Monday. "Our defensive coordinator (Mike Breske) called great calls."
All four of Horton's other college interceptions came during a four-game stretch in 2011. He made honorable mention all-conference that season, but he lost his starting job midway through last season.
"It motivated me, not being on the field," Horton said. "It made me want to play even more."
Horton said he "didn't really like it" when he was benched last season, but he believes it helped him to now be playing the best football of his career.
"I feel like I'm playing a lot better," Horton said. "My teammates, they've been helping me out, staying on me, making sure I stay focused."
Horton lined up opposite Heisman Trophy candidate Marqise Lee most of the game Saturday. Lee, who won the Biletnikoff Award as the nation's top receiver last year, was held to seven catches and 27 yards.
"I love competition," Horton said, "so whenever I get to go against a good receiver, I love it."
NO TEAM IN THE NATION that has played two games has allowed fewer passing yards (153) than Washington State. Horton said the Cougars have developed "a little swagger" on defense.
"I feel like we're playing together," Horton said. "Everyone's coming out feeling like we can stop people."
Horton, a criminal justice major, grew up in the inner city in Oakland, Calif. He hopes to play pro football, but if that doesn't pan out, Horton said he plans to move back to Oakland to work as a juvenile probation officer.
"Back home, I know a lot of kids that are struggling," said Horton, a self-described "mama's boy" who was raised by his mother, a social worker. "I just want to help out wherever I can."
Horton has certainly helped out the Cougars this year.
ANOTHER KEY defensive player, tackle Ioane "Junior" Gauta, met with the media Monday along with Horton, wide receiver Dominique Williams and running back Marcus Mason.
Gauta was not shy about discussing the defense's goals for the year.
"We pride ourselves on being the best defense in the nation," he said. "That's how we played on Saturday, and that's how we're going to continue to play throughout the season."
Asked if he was surprised at the defense's dominant performance against USC, Williams said, "Not at all. They've been getting after us in practice. We knew what our defense is capable of doing."
Gauta said WSU defensive players have "a 'dog' mentality. I'm not talking about U-Dub, I'm talking about a real dog mentality.
"We're very powerful right now, but we have a lot of humility and humbleness. Our defensive front, we don't want nobody knowing about us."
The Cougars were delighted when dozens of students and other fans greeted the team upon its return from Los Angeles in the wee hours Sunday morning.
"For people to stay up until 4-something in the morning just to say 'hi' to us and to cheer us on, that was really, really cool," Mason said. "That means a lot to us."
"It was awesome," Gauta said. "We came out of the bus, we see people clapping and cheering. That's pretty much what Pullman is. It's family oriented. People love to see the Cougs win."
Williams, who zoomed 50 yards on a screen pass late in the game to set up Andrew Furney's game-winning field goal last Saturday, found extra joy in winning close to his hometown of Pomona, Calif.
"It is a sweet win," Williams said. "I'm not going to sugarcoat it; it felt good to beat USC, especially because everyone back home grew up around USC."
AFTER BEING UNDERDOGS on the road in their first two games, the Cougars will be favored in home games the next two Saturdays.
Southern Utah (2-0) comes to town this Saturday at 3:30 p.m., followed by Idaho (0-2) for homecoming at 7:30 p.m. on Sept 21. The Pac-12 Networks televise both games.
"It's always amazing to be back in Pullman and play a game," Williams said.
"I love the fans," Horton said. "Everyone is so into the (WSU) sports, especially football. Everyone loves us."
Everyone, indeed, loves a winner. WSU players pledged not take Southern Utah lightly, even though the Thunderbirds are a Football Championship Subdivision team.
"You never want to underestimate any team," Williams said. "You game prep the same way as if you were playing Alabama."
"USC is in the past," Mason said. "We can't keep thinking about what happened last week.
Even though we got a win last week, we still have a lot to improve on."

Bomb threats made at four schools in Cornwall
Pupils at four schools in Cornwall were evacuated this morning after a series of bomb threats at around 8am.
Police are not releasing the names of the schools in the Truro, St Ives and Penzance areas as they investigate.
At around 8am today, Tuesday, January 26, 2016, four secondary schools in Truro, St Ives and Penzance, received calls suggesting a potential security threat.
As a result, all four schools self-evacuated.
By 9am, following police attendance and immediate enquiries, there was quickly found to be no threat and no risk to any children or staff.
Enquiries are continuing into the matter.
The calls were made at around the same time six schools in the West Midlands and four schools in London received similar threats.
A West Midlands Police said there was "no credible threat" to schools in the region and linked them to hoax threats made to two schools in Sandwell and Dudley last week.
Pupils evacuated at six West Midlands schools over 'bomb threats'
Bomb threats were made to six schools in the West Midlands this morning in what police believe to be a series of hoaxes.
West Midlands Police is investigating the threats but said in a statement that "intelligence experts insisted there was no credible threat".
At least one school - Oldbury Academy in Sandwell - send pupils home and has said it will remain closed until tomorrow.
OA will remain closed for today and will reopen on Weds 27th Jan. Check the website for further info https://t.co/OtmIZKH5Fx
The police said today's calls, which were made in quick succession at around 9am, "mirror" similar threats made to Oldbury Academy and Bristnall Hall last week.
Similar calls took place this morning at four schools in London, which evacuated pupils, and at around 8am bomb threats were made to four schools in Cornwall.
