Monday, and I managed a sneak away after one of the kids school assemblies for an hour and half's fishing on the Grand Western Canal near Tiverton. With the sun shining it didn't feel particularly cold but given that when I arrived at the Greenway stretch near Halberton, the canal was frozen over I realised my chances of luring a pike on the fly were slim. Having driven up from Exeter and with an hour and a half of daylight left, I was determined to at least wet a line, so headed along the canal to the section near Minnows Caravan Park. This section thankfully had a couple of short stretches that were ice free and fishable. The water was crystal clear and very shallow. A couple of small shoals of rudd were to be seen, along with a couple of tiny jack pike. The clear water made it possible to sight cast to the fish which made for fun fishing, but despite parading a variety of flies past the jacks, nothing could tempt them. The biggest pike I saw during my wanderings (of maybe 6lbs) was under the ice and whilst frustratingly close – impossible to reach.. The nearest thing to excitement I managed was when a large perch that was lurking under one of the bridges followed and closely inspected my fly a few times. Maybe the clear water didn't help – but for whatever the reason it wasn't foolish enough to have a go. Whilst the fishing was not in itself successful, with the water so clear and weed free at this time of year, it did afford the opportunity to appreciate this particular stretch of water and it's potential for future trips.
Frozen Canals – not good for fly fishing.

I'm just guessing, but I'm sure I saw a lot of you people at the Beautiful Losers screening at the Plaza Theatre last Thursday. You know who you are. : )
I didn't know what to expect, but I came away glad. You could feel by the energy in the room, filled with students and artists of various ages, that people identified with the artists in the film. I spend so much time trying to "bring the serious" that it's easy to forget why I started: I saw people around me creating personal, inspired art and, acknowledging a power I could never achieve, I wanted to support them in what ways I can.
So, I suppose I should start learning who these "beautiful" people are...

LEAF Delta House Jazz Band
In 2019, the Band will continue on in new ways at The Delta House. This has been a great partnership, and we wish them all LEAF Love on a new journey.
"The more you learn about culture and differences, the more peace you will bring into this world." – LEAF International New Orleans Culture Keeper, Chief Shaka Zulu, during the band's NOLA trip March 2017
Program Overview
LEAF Delta House Jazz Band is
Since 2011, the Jazz group has expanded and grown. Our community partner, Delta House Life Development of Asheville, Inc., is so thrilled with the progress the kids have made. "The difference this program has made is beyond words" says Sheila Edwards, Delta House staffer and lead supporter. "These kids are more inspired to stay in school and they KNOW they can be successful- it's all thanks to jazz and Mr. B." Mr. Gary Bradley, Master Teaching Artist and Sam Irvin, Resident Teaching Artist, teach the youth three times a week to make the biggest impact and create the best chance to learn music skills. Some kids have only been coming for less than two months and others have been coming since it started. LEAF has made 100% IMPACT.
Meet the Teaching Artists!
Gary hails from the New England area where he began his music education and saxophone studies. He studied at Housatonic College and played R&B, top 40 and jazz in the New England area. Gary continued his education at LACC and in private study in Los Angeles. He has played with Ray Charles, Dolly Parton and James Ingram.
"The discipline they get from music, they can always apply to their life, that's my goal with all of them. Have some fun, learn some discipline." – Gary Bradley
Samuel S. Irvin IV was born close to Asheville in Brevard, NC before relocating to attend college at UNCA, completing a Jazz and Philosophy double major in 2013. The next year, he began teaching at Asheville Music School, having an affinity for music theory, composition and direction. In 2015, Sam began working at Moog Music, in an effort to broaden his understanding of the technology-related aspects of music. His interest in cross-disciplined analysis of the world provides him with constant amazement at the myriad perspectives that music can be framed in (i.e. Theoretical, psychological, historical, cultural, etc.)
"In Physics, every sound is defined by four characteristics: duration, pitch, timbre and intensity. This is just some of the uniqueness of music." – Sam Irvin IV
Cultural Exchange October 2017
LEAF International Guatemala & LEAF International Rwanda
Visit Delta House!
Visiting Culture Keepers from LEAF International Guatemala and LEAF International Rwanda stopped by Delta House the week before Fall Festival to share their cultural traditions and learn what jazz music culture is all about. All groups showcased their art forms and conversed about life in their respective countries creating young global citizens in the heart of Asheville.
"Even though we can't speak the same language, music is a universal language, so we understand eachother." -Pepe, LEAF International Guatemala Teaching Artists
"I will continue to travel because people need to know about my history. I am Rwandan and our history can change the way people view the world." -David Kwizera, LEAF International Rwanda Culture Keeper
2017 Musical Journey to NOLA
LEAF Delta House Jazz Band is
Preservation Hall All-Stars | "Breathe, young people. Breathe" were words of wisdom from trumpet player, Wendell. The private masterclass featured jazz songs and an intensive discussion about chords, notes and rhythmic meter. To top off an already exciting lifetime experience, Tanaeja was gifted musical necktie from Louis (all-star clarinet player) with the reminder to "keep playing, keep breathing and keep smiling"
"We got to play with them! Being in the small groups was intense but helps us learn more. I played a solo in front of the whole group of 30 kids…I felt like a musician. It feels good to feel like a musician." – Reggie
Trombone Shorty Music Academy | "That's what it's about, changing young lives and supporting musicians", said artistic director, Edward Lee Jr. As soon as the instruments came out of their cases, LEAF students were instructed to jump right in! Breaking out into specialized groups by instruments, they learned a new song and then reconnected with the larger group to play in unison for a truly dynamic convergence of sound! Jazz on!
"I learned that you have to teach kids the culture or the culture will die. I'd like to learn the way he sews on the beads and make a suit one day." – Regianna
Mardi Gras Indian Culture | "When you read and travel, that's equivalent to reading 10 books.." stated Chief Shaka Zulu (of Yellow Pocahontas tribe). The students hit the streets with cultural exchange opportunities with Chief Shaka at St. Joseph's Day Parade in the heart of NOLA, Congo Square-Louis Armstrong Park & a finale workshop at Golden Feather. March on!
2015 Musical Journey to NOLA
How many young jazz artists get to be with the masters of jazz in Preservation Hall and play their instrument? The second bi-annual LEAF Delta House Jazz Musical Journey to NOLA was extraordinary! Stepping beyond your comfort and community opens doors to the world and understanding.
The dedicated teaching artists, Gary Bradley and Katie Oaks, empower the young artists through the art of jazz; however, life skills, cultural competence, teamwork, and a safe nurturing environment create a holistic platform of arts education that complements the jazz. Over the years, we have watched the students grow in music along with their reading scores, behavior and self-esteem. Music works!
On the rainy morning of March 19th, the LEAF Delta House Jazz band hit the road to New Orleans – the city of jazz. Pure excitement and anticipation floated through the air as we loaded vans with 11 young jazz musicians. Most of these students do not have access to jazz music traditions and have not travelled far beyond Asheville. The shared cultural connections to the African American communities in NOLA have the kids excited to learn more about their history. Together, we traveled down the jazzy road to experience the spirit of NOLA music and heritage culture.
2013 Jazzy New Orleans Trip
In 2013, the LEAF Delta House Jazz Band embarked upon a journey to the heart of jazz music and cultural traditions, in the city of New Orleans, where jazz was born. The blossoming musicians spent spring break performing at the historic Congo Square Festival, sharpening their skills with a master class at Preservation Hall and later dancing to a live performance performed by their mentors.
The LEAF Delta House band opened the festival to a crowd of cheers and later witnessed the infamous Battle of the Bands, a second line competition of area middle and high school musicians judged by legendary jazz musicians, including Preservation Hall's Ben Jaffe.
A bus tour of New Orleans led the jazz band to the House of Dance and Feathers in the Lower 9thWard, where they learned about Hurricane Katrina and its impact on the residents of New Orleans. Museum founder and Mardi Gras Indian, Ronald Lewis shared his story of his winning struggle to preserve the history and culture of New Orleans to an awe-stricken and appreciative crowd.
Thanks to the amazing support from the LEAF community, The LEAF Delta House Jazz Band has returned from their Spring Break trip to the Big Easy, where they had the AMAZING opportunity to learn from the Grammy Award winning Preservation Hall Jazz Band and perform at the historic Congo Square Festival!

LEAF Delta House Jazz Band Highlights
Check it out below!
In March, the LEAF Delta House Jazz Band embarked on a Musical Journey to New Orleans, Louisiana.The musical journey took them through historical New Orleans sights and sounds, master classes with infamous jazz bands young and old, and deep discussions about Mardi Gras Indian culture with Chief Shaka Zulu.

Visiting Culture Keepers from LEAF International Rwanda & LEAF International Guatemala visit Delta House before Fall LEAF Festival to share their cultural traditions and hear from the LEAF Delta House Jazz Band members what their experience is like living and playing jazz in the heart of Asheville.
In January, the LEAF Delta House Jazz Band headed down to Atlanta, Georgia to attend the Honda Battle of the Bands. The event was crated to "celebrate, support and recognize the excellence of Black college marching bands and the unique academic experience offered by Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs)." Also, in August the group also was given the opportunity to headline the Goombay Festival in downtown Asheville.
Throughout the year, the LEAF Delta House Jazz Band received visits from 3 LEAF International programs, Bequia, Haiti & Tanzania. They were able to perform for one another and have an authentic and natural cultural exchange.
The young jazz artists take their seats across from the masters of Jazz in the historic rustic Preservation Hall, one of the icons of jazz across the world. The setting is intimate, dark, and you feel the decades of powerful jazz sets. The LEAF Delta House Jazz Band takes the stage by showing Preservation hall all that they have learned about jazz over the past year. We were all grateful for the magical musical journey that we were experiencing. The kids are still jazzing from their music workshop experience, and the masters reminded them "Don't stop playing!"
LEAF Delta House Jazz partners with the UNCA Jazz Band to learn about the local music program at UNCA and hear young adult mentors play jazz. LEAF Delta Jazz Band partners with the LEAF Delta House Drummers and other Delta House youth to record their own song in honor of the Delta House. LEAF Delta House Jazz Band members visit Echo Mountain recording studio and sit in on a band recording their own album.
LEAF Delta House Jazz play at several events such as LAAFF, LEAF Festivals, and a fundraiser for Open Doors.
The LEAF Delta House Jazz Program partners with 5 Walnut and plays several Wednesdays at this local Wine Bar to raise funds and awareness for their upcoming field trip to New Orleans. Matt Logan, owner of 5 Walnut, commits to raising funds for the band and donates his own saxophone to a LEAF Delta House Jazz player. Students Khaliq Moore and Matt Young are awarded instrument ownership due to their dedication and commitment of both practice and mastery.
March 2013
The LEAF Delta House Jazz Band takes a field trip to New Orleans! The band plays an opening set at the Congo Square Festival, learns the history and culture of New Orleans and attends a master class at the Preservation Hall.
Summer 2013
Summer classes are held to continue the skills learned by the youth, and in the Fall of 2013, the band starts meeting three times a week, thanks to the funding of the Hanes Grant.
The LEAF Delta House Jazz Program opens for The Preservation Hall Jazz Band at the May LEAF Festival. Connecting with Ben Jaffe, the band is invited to New Orleans to take a master class with the band. 13 Youth are involved in the program.
LEAF Klondyke Jazz Program starts in the spring in Klondyke Housing Center with teaching artist, Gary Bradley, and mentor Logan Murray. Meeting once a week, up to 11 youth of varying ages are involved in this pilot program funded by the Dan Lucas Memorial Fund.
Starting in the Fall of 2011, the LEAF Jazz Program with Gary Bradley and Logan Murray relocates to partner with Delta House and becomes LEAF Delta House Jazz. The Delta House Life Development of Asheville, Inc. is a non-profit after school program located on S. French Broad. This valuable community partnership with Delta House allows for consistent attendance and an increase in the number of classes to twice a week. This program also offers homework assistance and other enrichment opportunities.
Thank You!
"The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness." – Dalai Lama
A very special thank you to all the individual donors who made it possible for our LEAF Delta House Jazz Band young musicians to go to NOLA without the burden of expenses. Thank you to all of our LEAF friends and family in New Orleans for opening up their city to us and thank you to Burial Brewery for partnering with us to create the special Shallow Water Kolsh in the name of Chief Shaka Zulu to benefit the LEAF Feather Fund!
"Sharing the experience of the kids learning from some of the greatest jazz musicians in the world while we were in New Orleans was inspiring and surreal. To be a part of making that experience happen is why we partnered with LEAF International. Culture is experience, it is community and it is people. Together that is all very powerful but without an organization like LEAF connecting the dots for younger people, it can get lost in translation. Seeing those dots connected first hand in New Orleans, only solidified in my mind, the great work LEAF is doing for our community and communities around the world." – Jessica Reiser, Burial Brewery

Learn To Create Viral Content That Generates 2.5K Visitors Per Day
Bhaskar Saikia 6 Min Read
Number of visitors that your website receives totally depends upon the type of content that you put in there for the audience. Creating a viral content is a boon itself. The key to make your website or your blog popular overnight lies in making a content that goes viral. Interestingly, many big websites fail to get an audience to looking into their content. No doubt to make such a content that goes viral over different platforms in internet, needs a person who is really skilled and creative in writing. But, that's not all! Here, I will let you know some interesting facts and tricks that you need apart from being a good writer.
What does Viral Content actually mean?
Surely you all must have experienced the nuisance created by virus in your laptop once in a while, in your life. You must have noticed how that virus get hold of your desktop or laptop in few minutes. And not just that, it have a tendency to reach even other desktops and laptops when something is shared from the virus affected laptop or desktop via internet medium or any flash drives.
So this is how your content must react when they reach out to the people. Virality of the content is the instance when your content spreads and multiplies like a virus over different platform. Virality can be achieved by increasing number of likes and tempting people to share it, more and more.
Challenges in making a content viral
Making a viral content is not an easy task. For many it is just a dream to achieve even a 3 digit number of likes or even a 2 digit number of shares of their contents. If someone is new to content writing, challenges increases. On the other hand we can see contents that have reach more than 25000 likes and hundreds of shares over the social media platforms.
Ofcourse social media platforms like Facebook, Google+, twitter, Instagram etc. have made the chances of making a content viral higher, but in the same time it have made it even more challenging. Can you imagine how difficult it would it be to find your content when there is 50 billion photos per day, 130 TB logs every day flowing over Facebook. Do you think your content can reach out to all the 500 million active users over the Facebook?
An eye catching content can reach millions of users overnight but that content have to drive them to like it and then share it. One of the biggest challenge is to make people read your content, unless the style of writing and logical facts used is not relevant enough, soon the reader gets bored and checks out other contents. Sometimes the reason for not liking or sharing a content also lies in the negative way of a writer to reach out their reader.
Tricks to make content viral
Despite of being a good writer, many bloggers find it difficult to reach out to the readers. As result they fail to get even a decent a number of visitors for their blog or website. This piece of information that you are reading now can efficiently take care of such challenges.
The video of the song "PSY Gangnam Style" was a great success. It went viral over the internet in different platforms. They got a crowd of 1,320,940 visitors in their Offical Youtube Video. That is really inspiring number of visitors, mostly a dream count for many.
Then there is another video of a song "Why This Kolaveri Di" released on 2011. Surprisingly they got an awesome number of people, which reached interesting 96,513,293 views till date from all over the world.
On Jan 31st, 2014 a very creative and interesting content was published by BUZZFEED. Surprisingly, the number of viewers rose dramatically and reached 18,615,792 views till date.
The whole point in all those cases that has been stated above is the introduction of the driving factor that put them in a place where they can attract a significantly large number of people to like and share their content that makes it to go viral over the internet platforms.
The content that have reach that large number of visitors have 3 most important driving factors in common. In order to bring in a large crowd over the internet to read your content, you must have to take care of all this three factors along with a creative and factual content.
Triggering emotions:
The videos like "PSY Gangnam Style" and "Why This Kolaveri Di" have created a unique experience for the viewers that made them happy. Gangnam Style triggered certain emotions that made viewers to watch it and like it. They even wanted to make their friends have the experience of emotions that they have received from that video, and this drove them to share as many times they watched it.
So, it is very necessary for a content to trigger emotions deep inside there mind. It can be a sense of happiness, a sense of pride, sympathy, etc.
Positive Message:
The content that you produce must always produce a positive message for the reader. This makes it easier for a user to click on the like and share that message to different social media platform to earn the credit of letting others aware of the positive message of your content.
Practically useful content:
Your content will only be read further only if the facts and logic used in the content is relevant and practical enough for the user. The content published by BUZZFEED in the above case have the used the practical nature and interactive way to make the reader read the content. This led them to get such astonishingly high number of visitors that can only be a dream for many.
Now you all know the factors that can drive the reader to make your content go viral over the internet. The importance of making a content viral is not just for the bloggers. Anyone indulged in digital marketing have a great use of it. In fact, content marketing is one of the most important tools to make your website visible to a number of visitors and bring in a large number of traffic.

As a student, I am interested in digital marketing. I have noticed the examples you have shown before. and i also believe that the main aspect of any content to become viral is creativity. in the examples you have told, i have heard the song kolaveri di. the creative aspect was what attracted me. I know many Digital Marketing Agencies in Singapore, where I live. They are researching on this topic, so those can be implemented as a digital marketing strategy.

Fixed asset inventory
An inventory of fixed assets is used to identify accurately the assets condition, to standardize information and to process data uniformly. In some cases it can also be used to define or reconsider existing process for an unvarying management of your assets.
Current legislation encourages this practice in order to present financial statements that reflect the physical reality.
The outsourcing process from the setting up to the results :
- Assets identification by type(s), family(s), cost(s) centre and location(s).
- Control of the capital assets which are already codified and creation of capital assets present but not set up in the current file. Regardless your software solution (if existing) this step will be carried out in the respect of the expected format.
- Labeling with bar codes of the items that are/are not codified: specific labeling considering the good type and its use rate.
- Creation of a customized database of existing assets.
- Identification of new goods and addition to the database (creation of category(s) or family(s) if necessary).
- Account reconciliation: if the result does not match your accounting records, your received invoices or any other accounting treatment, our collaborators, chartered accountant and auditors, will enter the process.
Depending on the geographical breakdown and on the theoretical number of your assets, one of more teams of two NOVASTOCK technicians will carry out the detection of the items, the codification, the labeling and the input into the inventory database.
- Analysis of the existing file (accounting or other)
- Definition of the inventory scope
- Creation of goods tree structure
- Definition of information to be checked or collected for each family, subfamily or product
- Technicians have access to the delimited area (defined beforehand in the specifications).
- A technician scans the label of the area that identifies the location. The goods which are going to be inventoried are identified.
- Once identified, the technician proceeds to their labelling and their codification.
- Then the second technician enters the inscription of the item with a bar code reader by connecting its description and its location to the assigned code.
- These steps are repeated throughout the inventory, department after department and building after building. The schedule and the intervention area will be approved jointly with you during the writing of the specifications (other options will also be suggested in order that our intervention has the less impact on the everyday activity of your organization).
- When all items have been tagged and inventoried, we proceed to the scanning of the area label to close the location.
The service includes:
- A project manager: your contact person.
- Technical specifications: your approval will precede the start of the physical inventory.
- Human resources that are adapted to the size of your project: experienced and dedicated teams.
- Technological resources:
- bar code readers, laptops, touchscreen tablets, ...
- our own software set up and customized according to your environment,
- printers and supplies,
- specific labels with high resistance or any other labeling and marking solution.
- One or more in situ management boards to follow the progress of the project and manage jointly the potential modifications to be carried out.
- In option:
- definition of a precise methodology to make the intervention durable.
- secondment of a software solution to facilitate the everyday processing and monitoring.

HI everyone,
Just wanted to share with you that I have a book coming out today, for those that may be interested. It is entitled A Dangerous Place: The Story of The Railway Murders.
It is about my late father, who was a policeman, and specifically tells the story of his last case, which was a very famous murder enquiry of the 1980. Anyone growing up in London in the 1980s may well remember the events.
Details are here. Many thanks!

How Technology Can Help You Raise More Mindful Kids
The words "mindfulness" and "technology" probably seem like polar opposites, not destined to even appear in the same article.
On one side, we have mindfulness, rooted in Zen Buddhism and quickly becoming a trendy concept in Western culture to promote healthy living. In a nutshell, mindfulness is the practice of focusing our full attention on the moment as it is, letting go of our past- and future-directed thoughts, and allowing all of our senses to experience this moment, without judgment.
Technology can, in fact, be used in the service of mindful parenting.
Our technology, consisting of innumerable forms of entertainment that are often described as "mindless"—think smartphones, gaming systems, and YouTube to name a few—seems to offer the opposite of mindfulness. With its constant barrage of information, technology serves as a distraction from the present moment, and, some argue, keeps us from being in touch with our thoughts, feelings, goals, and desires.
When it comes to parenting, we're often given the message that mindfulness can be used to promote "good" parenting, while technology is "the enemy." The reality is that technological advances will continue to evolve, and there is a middle ground, a balance to strive for, in thinking about the two constructs.
Technology can, in fact, be used in the service of mindful parenting. As a clinical psychologist at the Child Mind Institute, here are my five favorite tips on how to use technology mindfully while raising kids:
1. Download apps that promote mindfulness.
Mindful parenting involves parents engaging in their own self-care, as well as the care of their children. There are countless apps available for people of all ages that promote the practice of mindfulness, even just for a few minutes a day—for example, Headspace for adults, and OMG I Can Meditate for children and adults. There are also those that help you relax and take a break from a busy day, like Breathe2Relax.
Explore the many options available and select one or two that will benefit you and your children. Use the apps to practice mindfulness and de-stressing together.
2. Use technology for shared family activities.
Parents often have questions about how to monitor their children's Internet and gadget use. One surefire way is to have children use the technology in common rooms in your home rather than in their own rooms.
In addition, you can model this behavior by following the same principles. This allows you to more easily see what your children are doing with technology and allows for opportunities for family members to share experiences—such as watching a funny video online, talking to a long-distance family member or friend via Skype, or engaging in multiplayer online games.
3. Teach your children about self-care.
The amount of things we can learn about ourselves through technology in our modern era is quite remarkable. We can track our sleep, our food, our exercise levels, and even how stressed we feel in any given moment.
Plus, there are apps to monitor our moods (like Moodtrack Diary), online journals to help us express ourselves, and apps that encourage creative expression, like paintone. By using these technologies, you can help your kids determine their own goals for self-care and teach them to learn more about themselves.
4. Help kids increase their social networks.
Parents often struggle with the realization that a decent portion of socializing that children do today is not face-to-face but through apps, video-game systems, texting, and even online forums. Recognize that many children see this as legitimate socialization, and any attempts to tell them otherwise will go unheard.
So when you can't win, join them! Spend time with your children understanding the different modes of communication and socializing that they use (while also taking the opportunity to teach them about online safety and monitor activities). Encourage their interests and hobbies by helping them to find fun and safe online communities that will stimulate their passion and creativity in these areas and create opportunities to meet people from other parts of the country and world.

5. Track the total technology use of your family.
I recently learned about the variety of apps available, such as Moment, that track how much time you spend on your various technological devices, and even how many times you pick up your phone to check it, such as Checky.
These tools are an effective way to track your own usage (you may be shocked!), as well as allow kids to see for themselves how much time they're spending on technology.
In addition, the knowledge of family usage can promote all of you taking a much-needed "technology day-off"—and demonstrate what we can discover about ourselves, others, and our world without our gadgets.

valley of the dolls, glamorizing the telephone.
Things change so quickly and nothing is ever certain. I know we all know that, but we don't really know it until suddenly tomorrow is just a hazy memory.
What are the things that we do when we find that everything is becoming too much. Everything is a performance. If only just for yourself, for later, for when you are remembering. For when you are recounting. I can create a little story and then suddenly things have purpose.
I watched Valley of the Dolls over the last two days. I read the book many years ago, during the summer between sophomore and junior year of college, the first where I was truly on my own. I found it at a thriftstore and I think it's a pretty early edition but I don't know if those things matter with Valley of the Dolls. It was on my Netflix for a while and after looking at a billion pictures of Sharon Tate this week I decided to just go head and watch it. There is something so tempting about giving in and not caring sometimes, but I can really only do so much tourism in the self-destructing white females culture. I started watching Prozac Nation today. I hope they remake it but instead she loses while trying to write a blog post. Like maybe she can't find enough things that only kids of the 90's will know. But then also Lou Reed (RIP) is in the movie, and its just him and Christina Ricci getting psychedelic. Seemed like one of those things I would chalk up to coincidences but I just don't feel like getting into those now. I had to take a break though cause it got too.... eye-rolly. I loved Christina Ricci growing up so much, I mean, Now and Then was SO everything. I saw Gaby Hoffman a couple months ago and really did try to stop myself from fangirling. But mostly because she is so cool and I just wanna hang with her. I wouldn't even ask her about the movie.
I lost my hat at some point last week and decided I didn't need one and then on Tuesday night I swear my eardrums froze and now I am sick. I thought it was just allergies but it was a cold, I think. I feel better now.
Anyways, I had already decided that I needed a new hat, since last winter my hair was long and curly and now it's short and that requires a different kind of hat. Something not as floppy, something more fitted. Sometimes I wish I didn't think about things like this.
Last winter feels like so long ago, like maybe two or three lifetimes ago.
Not my hat.
I was really into this hat at American Apparel because it's kinda Prada-ish (well, you can't tell in the picture so just trust me) but it was too floppy. Then I found the right one but they were having trouble with their machines and were only taking cash. I am still without a hat.
I re-arranged my room today. Which means that I am telling myself I will put everything back in its place when I am done with it. It's such a nice way to live, you know? Like the beginning of a school year when you've got new notebooks and you tell yourself THIS TIME IT'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT. But I don't get the beginning of a school year anymore and it's never different, so it doesn't really matter.
I want to believe things will be different.
So I threw away so many things and put so many others away in special boxes and it's just so fucking cleansing. CLEANSING. Not like a juice cleanse, I would never do those, but the kind where you've create the perfect environment for yourself. Letting go. Like that time George Michael exploded his own icons.
everything, always.
I don't think I have any icons to explode right now, if anything I am creating new ones. You ever play that signature game? Like when in magazines everyone talks about their "signature scent" or their "signature pearl earrings" and it sounds incredibly glamorous, even though it's really just like, being lazy. I can make this assertion because I am lazy, obviously. I gave up a signature scent a while ago, although honestly, smelling like whatever Tom Ford wants you to smell like is a great idea, and I will abide by that until the end of days. I also want to play the game Mindy and Lena play where they ask each other to describe the way they make their way to meet the person interviewing them for a big glossy interview. I guess it's not really a game, but I am making it into a game, anything can be a game, everything is a game. This whole, dress/be/whatever like the person you want to be and not the person you are maybe, although that can be dangerous.
Pink is like red but not quite.
I was doing blue mascara for the past two or three years but switched it out to pink eyeshadow a couple weeks ago. I can't do it anymore because it belongs to a time passed. There's no time for naivete anymore. It was a short signature. There are short signatures and long signatures.
Every three months something new starts and something new happens and you just have to run with it. But it's ok, we can still take selfies while mourning.

I recently had the pleasure of catching up with a friend whom I hadn't seen since high school. We were quick to recount our adventures over the past three years. I asked him what he was up to since high school. He replied with the usual "Same shit, different day." Furthermore he expressed his disdain for the city and how he couldn't wait to move away, as long as then timing was right (timing is never right, just do it.) I was a bit heartbroken to see such a good person so bored with a mundane existence. Is this how everybody feels in Modesto? Is this the prevalent state of mind?
But this thought process isn't limited to Modesto only. During my time in San Diego I came across numerous individuals who expressed interest in leaving because they wanted to see something new. For them, Pacific Beach and The Gaslamp Quarter were old and boring. I could not see how someone could be bored in San Diego, but then again I only lived there for three years. Later during my time in college, I had the privilege of studying in Barcelona. A close Catalan friend of mine gushed the first time I told him I was from Northern California. He told me time and time again how his dream was to drive up and down the PCH. I did that the week before I landed in Spain, it was nothing new to me!
The conclusion I came to is that people aren't bored with their hometown, their bored with routine. Think about it, how many of our friends (or us for that matter) hang out with the same people, do the same things and generally stay inside their comfort zone? When someone tells me they hate Modesto or how boring it is, what I hear is "I wish I could step out of my comfort zone and try new things." I lived there and I loved it. Mainly because I look for the small miracles that make everyday new again.
You have to be able to make everyday new and unique. But not everyone can do that because that involves taking risks. People think that simply moving to a new city will alleviate their problems. And while that may be the case for the short term, in the long term they'll find themselves in the same routine, only in a new city. Then they'll be clamoring for their friends and family back home.
Everyday when I wake up I tell myself that I will step out of my comfort zone and try something new. That maybe as easy as talking to a stranger, taking a different route to a friends house or going somewhere completely out of my element. This weekend I found myself at a Portuguese Festa. I'm not Portuguese! But being in a new situation challenges you to grow as an individual. And more times than not, it's a lot of fun.
Reality is what you make of it. You could choose to complain about the routine of life or you could something about it. It doesn't matter if you're in Spain or Modesto; it's how you handle it. I met a pair of French exchange students staying in nearby Turlock. They loved the valley! They went on and on about how nice the people are, about how green everything is and about how much they love it. And this was towards the end of the semester, when you'd think they'd be ready to go home. Imagine if you approached every day like it was your first day in a new city. Think about how much happier you'd be.
I'm not saying you'll be able to accomplish all your dreams in your hometown. If you want to be an actor, chances are Modesto isn't the place for you. But no matter where you're at, you need to have a positive mind and be willing to make the best out of any situation. Everything you've ever wanted is one step out of your comfort zone.

Can you trust your sight glasses?
Sight glasses are invaluable for troubleshooting towers and checking instruments. Improper connections can take a toll on accuracy.
Sight glasses are invaluable for troubleshooting towers and checking instruments. However, don't let their simplicity fool you into thinking that they are foolproof. As with any instrument, performance depends upon installation, and connection mistakes certainly can compromise sight glass accuracy.
One common problem with sight glasses (and other level instruments) is restricted range. Figure 1 shows four different sight-glass installations. The same type of connections could be made for external wells required for displacement- or float-type level instruments. Only Arrangement A is correct. All of the others suffer from a restricted range defect: B has restricted range on both ends, C on the low level end, and D on the high level end.
Figure 1. Sight gauges are connected in four ways, but only the far left arrangement is correct.
As long as the liquid level remains in the center of the sight glass, between the level taps in the vessel, then the device reads correctly. Problems begin when the level goes outside the range between the taps. Figure 2 shows indicated versus actual levels for restricted-on-both-ends Arrangement B. With a liquid below the lower tap, the seal leg in the instrument connection traps liquid in the sight glass and the sight glass indicates a higher level. With a liquid level above the upper tap, the seal leg in the instrument connection traps vapor in the sight glass and the sight glass shows a lower level. Condensation, vaporization or compression of the vapor space also can change the level in the sight glass, depending upon the system and liquid levels in the vessel.
Figure 2. Range restrictions because of improper installation can cause significant inaccuracy.
I've observed all three incorrect level connections at plants. Indeed, such restricted-range sight glasses are common. In fact, they are a classic reason for field troubleshooting. Nothing you can do in the control room can identify incorrect instrument installation. It is essential to actually check the device and make sure its connections are correct.
With restricted range instruments, we are asking them to do what is physically impossible. Safety expert Trevor Kletz, writing about this very problem ("Plant instruments: which ones work and why," CEP, July 1980, pp. 68-71), summarized the situation perfectly: "One reason why trips and control systems don't operate properly is that they violate the laws of physics …."
Using instruments that violate the laws of physics gives improper data to control systems and confuses troubleshooting. Understanding how the instrument works, how it must be connected and how to interpret the readings is critical for profitable operation.

Report: Israel exposes Russian hackers who tried to spy on US
Israeli intelligence officials monitoring Russian government hackers found they were using Kaspersky Lab antivirus software that is also used by 400 million people globally, including U.S. government agencies, media reports said Tuesday.Palestinian Normalization -- With Hamas, Not Israel
The Israeli officials who hacked into Kaspersky's network over two years ago had, at the time, warned their U.S. counterparts of the Russian intrusion, The New York Times reported.
That led to a decision in Washington only last month to order Kaspersky software removed from all government computers.
The Washington Post reported Tuesday that Israeli officials also found in Kaspersky's network hacking tools that could only have come from the U.S. National Security Agency.
Upon this discovery, the consequent NSA investigation found that these tools had been obtained by the Russian government, the report said.
Late last month, the U.S. National Intelligence Council completed a classified report that it shared with NATO allies concluding that Russia's FSB intelligence service had "probable access" to Kaspersky customer databases and source code.
That access, the council concluded, could help enable cyberattacks against U.S. government, commercial and industrial control networks, The Washington Post reported.
The New York Times said the Russian operation, according to multiple people briefed on the matter, is known to have stolen classified documents from an NSA employee who had improperly stored them on his home computer, which had Kaspersky antivirus software installed on it.
It is not yet publicly known what other U.S. secrets the Russian hackers may have discovered by turning the Kaspersky software into a sort of Google search for sensitive information, the report said. (h/t Dave4321)
The most widespread conspiracy theory, which has been floating around for decades and can be heard in almost every coffee shop on the streets of Cairo, Amman, Ramallah and Beirut, is that Zionist Jews, together with American capitalists and imperialists, have a secret plan to take control over the Arab and Islamic countries and their resources.Gatestone Institute: NOTICE
How exactly are the "Zionists and imperialists" trying to "undermine" the Palestinian "national project"? And what, precisely, is this project? Is it the project of Hamas and many other Palestinians that seeks the destruction of Israel?
The corrupt Arab and Palestinian leaders spread such rumors to divert attention from problems at home, such as corruption and dictatorship. These leaders want their people too busy hating Jews and Westerners to demand reform, democracy and transparency from their leaders. Those valuables, of course, are what Arab and Palestinian leaders still refuse to offer their people.
Why do many Palestinians prefer peace with Hamas? Because they identify with Hamas's dream of destroying Israel and killing Jews. It may be an unpleasant a truth, but that is the bottom line.
Gatestone Institute, its President and Board of Directors strongly condemn the defamatory campaign waged by Mudar Zahran (under his own name and through various fictitious accounts and names) against Gatestone Institute's Distinguished Senior Fellow Khaled Abu Toameh. Gatestone Institute wishes to note that it has warned Mudar Zahran in the past a number of times to stop his obsessive campaign. Although he promised and apologized, he had persisted with his campaign, and continues to make false and defamatory accusations and insinuations against one of our esteemed Fellows.
Gatestone Institute wishes to clarify that it terminated all ties with Mudar Zahran four years ago. Accordingly, he does not speak on behalf of Gatestone or any of its affiliates, constituents or participants.
IsraellyCool: Tablet Mag's Non-Apology For Antisemitic Piece
Yesterday, I posted about Tablet Mag's vile, antisemitic article The Specifically Jewy Perviness of Harvey Weinstein, the title of which says it all really. I followed it up with a number of tweets, none of which elicited a response from Tablet, but Mark Oppenheimer, the author of the piece and Tablet's editor at large (which explains how it got published to begin with) issued an "Apology." And I deliberately place that word in inverted commas, because it is not much of an apology at all.Daily Freier: The Tablet's Real Apology for Harvey Weinstein Article (satire)
Yesterday I published a piece on Harvey Weinstein that many found offensive. The analysis I offered was hasty and ill-considered, especially in light of the even graver accusations that were published by the New Yorker this morning. I take this as a lesson in the importance of knowing as much as one can about a given story, and in taking the time to think and feel things completely through before opining. I apologize for not doing so in this case.
No, the piece was offensive to Jews, not just one that "many found offensive." This sounds like those non-apologies where the person is not sorry for what they actually said, but just that you are offended by their words. Plus what possible "analysis" went into it, and how did any subsequent accusations against Weinstein make the piece even more offensive than it already was?
The wording, plus the fact Tablet have left the original article up on Tablet – where it can continue to be shared by antisemites like Richard Spencer – render this apology anything but one.
I am also very disappointed in Yair Rosenberg, Tablet's self-professed "troller of Nazis," who has remained silent throughout all of this, despite my attempts to even reach out to him privately. While I understand he is employed by Tablet, his persona, at least, is of someone who takes principled stands against antisemitism.
Yesterday I published a piece on Harvey Weinstein that many found offensive, because it described sexual predators as being 'Jewy' (Offensive? Who knew? You live, you learn!). The analysis I offered was hasty and ill-considered, especially the part where I also talked about the secret`Jewy' ingredient that may or may not be added to matzoh every Passover. Also, the part where I riffed about you-know-who poisoning the wells? My bad! Finally, the part where I refer to moneylenders as 'Shylocks'? Again…. write drunk, edit sober! Anyhoo, I take this as a lesson in the importance of knowing as much as one can about a given story, and in taking the time to think and feel things completely through before opining. I apologize for not doing so in this case. In the immortal words of the great Rabbinical sage George of Costanza, "Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?"Saudi royal, former Mossad chief to talk two states in a NY synagogue
If all else fails, they can always pray for peace. A Saudi prince and a former Israeli spymaster will be talking about the two-state solution in a New York synagogue this month, as a dovish pro-Israel group takes its show on the road to drum up support for the moribund diplomatic vision.Don't believe what your UNRWA Spokesperson tells you
It will be one of five gatherings set to take place this month in four major American cities. Each will focus on finding viable security arrangements under a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The Israel Policy Forum, a liberal advocacy organization dedicated to promoting two states for two peoples, will be holding two conference-like events in New York (October 22) and Los Angeles (October 29), a panel discussion in Washington, D.C. (October 24) and two panel discussions in Chicago (October 25 and 26). The summits will attempt to educate Jewish communities on the core issues relevant to achieving the long-coveted resolution.
All of those confabs will place a "special emphasis" on reaching a two-state outcome that would ensure Israeli security, IPF's executive director, David Halperin, told The Times of Israel on Monday. They will also bring together Israel, Palestinian and Arab officials.
The New York event, which will take place at the Temple Emanu-El Streicker Center, will include a panel discussion with Efraim Halevy, former director of the Mossad; Prince Turki bin Faisal al-Saud, a former chief of Saudi intelligence and ambassador to the United States and the United Kingdom; and Michèle Flournoy, former US undersecretary of defense for policy.
The Center for Near East Policy Research has concluded a research project of all PA textbooks used in UNRWA Schools. The report , authored by Dr. Arnon Groiss and Dr. Ronni Shaked , published and submitted to the UN on Sept. 27,2017, has simply been dismissed by UNRWA spokesperson Chris Gunness as "inaccurate and misleading" because, he says, 178 of the 201 books cited "are not being used in UNRWA schools."UNESCO delays anti-Israel resolutions as it picks new head
UNRWA went on to falsely claim that the US government has conducted its own study of the PA school books and found them to were found "to be free of incitement to terrorism". UNRWA has shared this "conclusion" with all 68 nations that donate $1.2 billion to UNRWA – 54% of which is allocated to UNRWA education. Here is the list of the UNRWA donor nations:
UNRWA has also spread that lie to all members of the US Congress. I have spoken with officials of the new US Embassy staff in Israel to ask that the US government correct the UNRWA misrepresentation of US UNRWA policy.
The UNRWA statement goes on to fantasize that "in the small number of instances where issues of concern were found, we have created enriched complementary material for use in our classrooms", for which our researcher found no evidence.
It must be understood that books used by UNRWA do not say "kill the Jews!" However, the PA/UNRWA books teach that Dalal al-Mughrabi, who led a terrorist attack on an Israeli civilian bus in 1978 in which 35 men, women and children were murdered , is a heroine and a martyr. Meanwhile, a new PA/UNRWA school book describes a terrorist attack with lethal Molotov cocktails on an Israeli bus near a Jewish community as "a barbecue party".
The United Nations cultural arm unanimously agreed to delay voting on a pair of anti-Israel resolutions on Wednesday, as the body convened at a summit this week to pick a new head of the organization.Schumer blasts Trump's 'indecisiveness' in pushing off embassy move
The delay of the measures was a significant diplomatic achievement for Israel, with the Foreign Ministry noting it was the first time no anti-Israel resolutions were passed at a UNESCO session since 2011.
Israel's Ambassador to UNESCO praised the decision to push off the votes and the Israeli efforts behind it, but said Israel would need to continue to be vigilant ahead of the next time the body meets.
"The achievement today was the fruit of three years of hard, exhausting and frustrating diplomatic work," Carmel Shama-Hacohen said in a statement. "From this moment on we have already turned to the next round and there is no reason to rest on our laurels."
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer renewed his call for US President Donald Trump to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem after the president said he wanted to wait to give his relaunched peace push a chance.Victims of terrorism take Arab Bank to US Supreme Court
"President Trump's recent comments suggest his indecisiveness on the embassy's relocation," the New York Democrat said Tuesday in an email to JTA. "As someone who strongly believes that Jerusalem is the undivided capital of Israel, I am calling for the US Embassy in Israel to be relocated to Jerusalem. Moving the embassy as soon as possible would appropriately commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of Jerusalem's reunification and show the world that the US definitively acknowledges Jerusalem as Israel's capital."
Trump, in an interview last week with former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, said the time was not ripe to move the embassy.
"I want to give that a shot before I even think about moving the embassy to Jerusalem," Trump said, referring to his efforts to revive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
Trump had promised while campaigning to move the embassy, but in June he waived a 1995 law mandating the move, as every president has done before him.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday was scheduled to hold its first hearing on a lawsuit filed by Israeli victims of terrorism against Arab Bank Plc, claiming it knowingly funded Palestinian terrorist groups, including Hamas.Undercover special forces prevent terror attack
The Jordan-based Arab Bank is one of the largest financial institutions in the Middle East. It has 190 branches worldwide and holds accounts for various governments and global conglomerates.
In 2013, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York ruled that as a commercial entity, the bank was immune to lawsuits by Israeli nationals, adding that the court itself had no jurisdiction in cases involving plaintiffs who are not American citizens.
The ruling did, however, note the victims' American families could pursue the matter further, which they did.
Members of the Almagor Terror Victims Association who hold dual Israeli-American citizenship are expected to argue that by converting various currencies to dollars and allowing wire transfers to the accounts of known Hamas operatives, the bank violated international norms barring the funding of terrorism.
The lawsuit claims Arab Bank was in violation of "pacta sunt servanda" (Latin for "agreements must be kept") – a basic principle in civil, canon and international law that, with reference to international accords and norms, states that "every treaty in force is binding upon the parties to it and must be performed by them in good faith."
Undercover special forces from the Border Police arrested a Tulkarem resident in Rahat on his way to carry out a terror attack.'2017 will see 12,000 new settlement homes approved'
The suspect attacked security forces with a knife in an effort to escape.
The suspect was arrested without a shot being fired and was transferred to security forces for questioning. "Undercover units of the Border Police deployed throughout the country, including those operating in the southern sector, are at the forefront of Israeli security activity and together with the various bodies operate at constant risk, over time and in complex scenarios" said a police spokesperson.
The IDF and Border Police field a special squad of Mista'arvim, undercover forces disguising themselves as Arabs to covertly stop terror in Israel.
By the end of 2017, some 12,000 new settlement homes will have been approved at various stages of the planning and construction process, a senior political official in Jerusalem said Tuesday in response to criticism about sluggish green lights for new housing starts in Judea and Samaria.Iron Dome goes on display in Washington amid reports on possible US purchase
The official pointed out that this number is four times larger than the number of new settlement housing units approved in 2016.
"Anyone who thinks there is no need to take political considerations into account is making a big mistake. There is no one who works on behalf of the settlements with more wisdom and determination than Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu," the official said.
The Jerusalem official went on to say that as per the agenda published by the Judea and Samaria Planning Council, various stages of planning and construction would be approved for 3,736 new housing units. The total number of housing units in the final planning stages stands at 1,200. According to the official, the units approved for discussion are located throughout Judea and Samaria, including in Hebron and Beit El, where no new housing starts have been greenlighted since 2002, and where the settlers were promised new housing in place of the evacuated Draynoff homes in the Ulpana neighborhood.
Amid reports that the US military is considering purchasing Israel's Iron Dome to plug a gap in its European defenses, the missile-defense system is on display in the US capital this week as part of the Association of the US Army (AUSA) annual meeting.Israeli artillery shells becoming precision guided weapons
Israel's state-owned Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the main contractor of Iron Dome, and Raytheon, its US partner for the system's production, are reported to be working to transform the Israeli interceptor into an American system to defend forward-deployed US forces.
While the US has its THAAD anti-ballistic missile defense system designed to intercept and destroy short, medium and intermediate-range ballistic missiles in their terminal phase, it does not have any short-range air-defense solutions.
According to Defense News, the US Army sees an urgent need for an interim solution to fill the gap in its defenses, especially in the European arena, to protect ground-maneuvering troops against an increasingly wide range of aerial threats, including short-range projectiles, until a permanent solution is put in place.
In September, the US Army carried out a two-week long Short Range Air Defense (SHORAD) demonstration at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico to evaluate which missile system would best serve this purpose.
Israel Aerospace Industries is to further develop, produce and supply the Israeli Army with course correction artillery fuzes, the company announced on Monday.U.S. Taps Israel's Elbit for Pilot Helmet Display Units
The work comes under a tender issued by the Israeli Ministry of Defense's Directorate of Defense Research and Development. Its financial value was not disclosed.
"Following years of challenging technological development effort and multiple resources, we witness a unique technology that has matured so it can be further customized for the operational requirements of IDF," IAI/MALAM Division General Manager Jacob Galifat said in a press release. "This project has faced us with new technological challenges, including protecting the survivability of electronic and mechanical components in a difficult firing environment and miniaturization of the entire avionics into the size of a fuze."
"We are extremely proud of the exceptional technological capabilities that have made this development possible. We estimate the global demand for the product will be extensive and the winning of the tender in Israel will translate into business success in multiple markets worldwide."

"Elbit Systems of America is committed to providing America's warfighters with the very best in advanced technology HUD," Raanan Horowitz, president and chief executive officer of Elbit Systems of America, said in a press release. "We are a proven and trusted partner for component capabilities critical for platform mission readiness."
Elbit Systems Ltd. is an international high-technology company in the areas of aerospace, land and naval systems, command, control, communications, computers, intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance, and others.
The Trump administration has determined that the Lebanese terror group Hezbollah is seeking to carry out attacks against the United States and has thus offered millions of dollars for whoever can help it apprehend two of its leaders.Rejecting Israeli charges, Lebanese Army asserts it's independent from Hezbollah
"It is our assessment that Hezbollah is determined to give itself a potential homeland option as a critical component of its terrorism playbook," said Nicholas Rasmussen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, during a briefing Tuesday.
Rasmussen went on to say that the US government was seeking help arresting Talal Hamiyeh and Fu'ad Shukr, and would pay $7 million and $5 million rewards for the two officials, respectively.
It is the first time in a decade that the US is offering rewards for Hezballah operatives under its counterterrorism rewards program.
Hamiyeh is the head of Hezbollah's External Security Organization. The State Department has said that wing has terrorist cells worldwide and is responsible for orchestrating and executive terror attacks outside of Lebanon, mostly against Americans and Israelis.
Shakr is a leading Hezbollah operative and top adviser to Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's secretary general. He helped launch and plan the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings that killed 241 US and 58 French peacekeepers and six civilians. (h/t Saigon N)

He added that the Lebanese army has been fully integrated with Hezbollah and follows Hezbollah's orders. "The Lebanese army has become an integral part of the Hezbollah apparatus under its command," Liberman said.
Speaking to the Lebanese daily Al Joumhouria, the Lebanese military source said Liberman's statements were "totally contrary to reality" and "hold contradictions up to a degree that they cannot be taken seriously."
The source asserted that "the Lebanese army has total independence and is subject to the decisions of the political authority, and its leadership is the sole arbiter of its military policy."
"The United States and the United Kingdom provide generous military assistance to the Lebanese army and they ensure its continued armament and express their confidence in it. Would London and Washington arm Hezbollah, in accordance with Liberman's words?" the source asked. "And does [Liberman] have data that these two large countries do not?"
President Donald Trump is expected this week to "decertify" the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), better known simply as the Iran deal, declaring that the agreement reached in 2015 by the U.S. and five other international powers is not in America's national interest. The matter will then be tossed back to Congress, which will have 60 days to decide whether to reimpose hefty pre-2015 sanctions.(Mis)Reading the IAEA reports on Iran's nuclear program
While the President's likely move has generated wide condemnation from foreign policy leaders — who reiterate that the United Nations nuclear watchdog agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has maintained Iran is in compliance — a new 52-page investigative report by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), entitled: "Iran's Nuclear Core: Uninspected Military Sites," obtained exclusively by Fox News and slated for release Wednesday, asserts that the country's nuclear weapons program has far from halted.
"It has been known for years that Iran has two nuclear programs — one is civilian and the other, the military, has the goal of giving Iran its first nuclear bomb," Alireza Jafarzadeh, deputy director of the Washington office of the NCRI, also referred to as the Iranian Resistance, and considered the primary opposition coalition to the clerical administration of Iran, told Fox News. "The civilian sector of the nuclear program has systematically provided a plausible logistical cover for the military sector, and acts as a conduit for it. The military aspect of the program has been and remains at the heart of Iran's nuclear activities."
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) last week admitted an inconvenient truth. The U.N. watchdog, said Yukiya Amano, has proven unable to verify Iran's compliance with Section T of the 2015 nuclear deal, which prohibits activities that could contribute to the development of a nuclear explosive device.Trump expected to announce broad, hawkish Iran strategy
This disclosure comes as no surprise to critics of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), who have long noted its failure to secure full access to key military sites such as Parchin, where Tehran previously engaged in weaponization efforts. But Amano's statement also quashes another myth. Contrary to widespread media reporting, the IAEA has never fully certified Iran's compliance with the JCPOA.
Since the JCPOA's implementation in January 2016, the IAEA has issued multiple reports that Iran and key world leaders have described as certifications of Tehran's JCPOA compliance. "All sides are implementing — so far — fully the agreement, as it has been certified by the IAEA eight times," said Federica Mogherini, the EU's foreign policy chief, last month. Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted that the most recent IAEA report, released in late August, affirmed the "verification of Iran('s) compliance with (the) JCPOA."
In fact, none of the IAEA's reports states that Iran has complied with the JCPOA. Rather, as the JCPOA notes, the IAEA's mandate primarily entails monitoring and reporting on Tehran's nuclear-related actions (or lack thereof) pursuant to the JCPOA's provisions. Individual members of the Joint Commission, the body established by the JCPOA to monitor its implementation, determine independently whether Iran's reported behavior constitutes JCPOA compliance. The Joint Commission consists of representatives from each JCPOA participant state and the EU.
U.S. President Donald Trump will make an announcement this week on an "overall Iran strategy," including whether to decertify the international deal curbing Tehran's nuclear program, the White House said on Tuesday.Mattis Calls Iran a 'State Sponsor of Terror' Ahead of Nuclear Deal Decision
"He'll make that later this week," White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told reporters when asked about the certification decision and the administration's broader strategy on Iran.
Trump, who has called the 2015 pact agreed between Iran and six world powers an "embarrassment," is expected to announce that he will decertify the deal ahead of an Oct. 15 deadline, a senior administration official said last week.
Trump is also expected to designate Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards Corp, as a terrorist organization as part of a new Iran strategy. Tehran has vowed a "crushing repose" to any such designation, saying it would prompt it to consider the U.S. Army equivalent to the Islamic State group.
"The president has reached a decision on an overall Iran strategy and wants to make sure that we have a broad policy to deal with all of the problems of Iran being a bad actor," Sanders said.
Trump accuses Iran of supporting terrorism and says the 2015 deal does not do enough to block its path to acquire nuclear weapons. Iran says it does not seek nuclear weapons and in turn blames the growth of militant groups such as Islamic State on the policies of the United States and its regional allies.
Defense Secretary James Mattis on Monday had harsh words for Iran at the Association of the United States Army conference, ahead of a key Trump administration announcement on the Iran nuclear deal.Nearly Every Democrat in Congress Voted for Bill Directing Trump to Label IRGC a Terrorist Group
Without explicitly naming the country, he called Iran a "state sponsor of terror" in the Middle East that is masquerading as a nation state.
"One state sponsor of terror in the Mideast cannot hide behind its nation-state status while, in effect, it is actually a destabilizing revolutionary regime," he said.
Iran is a U.S.-designated state sponsor of terrorism along with two other countries: Sudan and Syria. While dictator Bashar al-Assad is aligned with the Iranian regime, the Syrian civil war has significantly limited Assad's ability to sponsor international terrorism, while Iran has expansive and influential operations throughout the world.
Mattis has made variations of that characterization of Iran over the past years, but this latest comment comes just days before the Trump administration is set to announce a decision on whether to certify or decertify that Iran is in compliance with the deal.
Iran promised a "crushing" response Monday if President Donald Trump followed through on designating the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as a terrorist organization, which nearly every Democratic caucus member voted for him to do.Permalink to Turkey Sentences Wall Street Journal Reporter to Prison in Absentia
The IRGC serves as the chief security force of Iran, the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism. Trump is coming up against the Oct. 15 deadline where he is expected to decertify the nuclear deal brokered by the Obama administration and also label IRGC a terrorist group.
"If they do, Iran's reaction would be firm, decisive and crushing and the United States should bear all its consequences," Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi said at a news conference reported by state news agency IRNA.
The U.S. Senate voted 98-2 for the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act. Every Democrat supported it with the exception of Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who caucuses with the Democrats.
The lone Republican to vote against it was Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul.
The bill passed 419-3 in the House of Representatives, with all Democrats in the chamber voting for it.
A Turkish court has sentenced a journalist from the Wall Street Journal to two years and one month in prison in absentia on charges of carrying out propaganda for Kurdish militants, the newspaper said on Tuesday.Report: Qatar says Israeli soccer fans welcome at 2022 World Cup
Ayla Albayrak, a Wall Street Journal reporter with dual Turkish and Finnish citizenship, was sentenced over a 2015 story about ongoing clashes between Turkish security forces and militants from the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) in southeastern Turkey.
"This was an unfounded criminal charge and wildly inappropriate conviction that wrongly singled out a balanced Wall Street Journal report," the paper quoted its editor-in-chief Gerard Baker as saying.
Albayrak, who is currently in the United States, will appeal against the conviction, the Wall StreetJournal said.
The court decision coincides with an escalating row between Turkey and the United States after the NATO allies mutually suspended visa services on Sunday, plunging already strained relations to a new low.
Israeli football fans will be welcome in Qatar should their team qualify for the 2022 World Cup, or so the Gulf state said on Monday.Israeli hospital gets grant to help Syrian refugees with hearing loss
Hassan al-Thawadi, the leader of the country's World Cup organizing committee, was pointedly asked by a New York Times reporter: "Should Israel qualify, would the team and its fans be welcome?"
Al-Thawadi replied, "Everyone is welcome. It's a simple answer: everybody is welcome."
More than 1.2 million soccer fans from all over the world are expected to pour into the tiny country in what many fear will be a huge culture clash for a Muslim country.
But Mr. al-Thawadi said drinking alcohol would tolerated, as long as it was not in public.
He said, "We've always said it very clearly: alcohol will be allowed. But it won't be allowed in public spaces. It'll be allowed in certain designated areas, for example, but you won't be allowed to walk the street drinking alcohol."
British-educated al-Thawadi also sought to allay fears that gay people might not be welcome, given the strong condemnation in parts of the Arab world of homosexuality.
An Israeli philanthropist has made a six-figure grant to a hospital in northern Israel to fund treatment for Syrian children who have suffered hearing loss as a result of their country's civil war.
Morris Kahn's pilot grant to Ziv Medical Center in Safed is part of the Genesis Prize Foundation's global initiative to aid refugee causes and encourage other Jewish foundations and philanthropists to do the same. The refugee focus was chosen by British sculptor Anish Kapoor, who was awarded the 2017 Genesis Prize, which honors leading cultural figures who have showed a dedication to the Jewish community and Jewish values.
According to Genesis, Ziv Medical Center has extensive experience treating wounded Syrian civilians. The hospital reports that one out of every three Syrian children from combat areas examined by Ziv's hospital staff suffers from hearing loss. The children are provided testing, treatment, surgery and rehabilitation.
"We have treated more than 1,000 Syrians of all ages who needed our help over the past four years," Salman Zarka, director of Ziv Hospital, said in a news release from Genesis. "It's really important for me as a physician, as an Israeli, and as a human being."

Heritage Trails
Heritage Trails are an initiative of the National Heritage Trails Foundation, which aims to preserve and share the unique history of districts around New Zealand, at the same time as promoting tourism, business and employment opportunities in those districts.
A committee of local historians have identified places/sites of historic interest in the Matamata-Piako District, which make up our Heritage Trails.
Currently, four routes have been mapped out detailing these places of interest around Matamata, Morrinsville and Te Aroha townships, and a district trail, linking the town trails together. These guides are available to purchase from the Council offices and local information centres, or you can view an online guide.

For day 27 of #blogjune we go to Brighton
We had originally planned to stay at Virginia Woolf's garden studio as a base for exploring the area around Brighton, which we had to cancel, but we did still have a day at the seaside by taking the Southern Railway train down to the coast – sustained with a picnic of drinks and sandwiches from the Marks and Spencer food store at Victoria station.
It was cold and gloomy as we left London, but the weather improved with sunshine and bright blue skies. I think I even returned to London a little red from the sun.
After a walk along the pier we headed back into town to the Clifton district where we met Wayne's friend Lorraine Bowen.
Lorraine is a music teacher, singer and cabaret performer who became famous through being a contestant on Britain's Got Talent singing the Crumble Song, and being sent through to the semi-final by David Walliams.
Lorraine was lovely and so generous with her time and took us on a tour of parts of Brighton we'd never seen.
Then down to the beach for some excellent chips…
…and ice creams.
