Legend of the Game
Harry Washington
Pierce County Bengals/Oregon
City Steelheads/West
Seattle Warhawks/Auburn Panthers
Wide Receiver/Return
1977, 1979-1987
Hands down one of the greatest wide receivers and return men to play minor
league football in the Northwest. Washington was
three-times the NFA Player of the Year for 1984, '85, and
Former Colorado State Ram, who still holds the single best
punt return average in a game (32.0) against UTEP in 1976,
Washington found his way to the Minnesota Vikings in 1978
and Chicago Bears in 1979 appearing in 16 NFL games, after
starring at Stadium and Henry Foss HS in Tacoma and
attending junior college at Grays Harbor CC.
Washington returned to Tacoma playing for the Pierce County
Bengals in 1977 earning 1st Team All-League on an undefeated
team named by Pro Football Weekly as their Minor League
National Champions. Harry Returned to the Bengals in
1979-80 after his NFL stint again earning 1st Team honors on championship teams.
By 1982 Washington was on the West Seattle Warhawks earning
1st Team honors again but unable to bring the team to the
championship. The formation of the Auburn Panthers
brought him back to a winning franchise where he reeled off
his first of three consecutive player of the year honors on
three consecutive undefeated teams. Harry retired from
football to join the military in 1988.
His 19 TD receptions in a season (including 3 in the West
Coast Championship) was a Northwest record for 23 years, as
was his 240 yards receiving in a game recorded
in 1983. Harry still holds the record for punt returns
in a game (9) and is second in yards returned in a game at
By the years:
1977 - Pierce County Bengals (1st Team All-League)

Therefore, in writing this blog, I usually try to stick to topics that I have some experience in. But today I'm going to break with tradition and write about something I know absolutely nothing about. I'm really nervous since this topic is very sensitive and the last thing I want to do is proverbially Heimlich the stroke victim again. I wouldn't normally touch something so far out of my purview but with an estimated 3-5% of the adult population of the US suffering from this disorder it is simultaneously the most prevalent and yet least talked about of all the eating disorders. And judging from the amount of e-mails and comments I get, it's an important topic to you guys too. Today we're talking Binge Eating Disorder.
What Binge Eating Disorder Is
I think I was about 12 years old. It was just after Christmas. I love the Christmas buffet we have every year. I think my mom told me to stop eating the spinach dip, or asked if I had enough, or something innocuous like that. I'm not sure though. All I remember is sneaking downstairs to the basement with a big bowl of spinach dip and bread to eat it with. Then eating and eating and eating it. I ate it until I made myself sick and was in the basement bathroom puking just swallowed spinach dip and bread.
It was one of the first times I remember sneaking off to eat food, but it hasn't been the last. Even as an adult, I'd had snacks, meals, etc. I'd be afraid going out with friends that I didn't want them to see how much I ate, or that I wouldn't get full. So I'd eat secretly before going out, then eat a full meal an hour later. Just in case. Just in case I didn't get enough food on my plate. We all know how impossible that would be, given restaurant portions.
– Eating very quickly
– Eating alone to hide the behavior and/or the food
– Eating when not physically hungry
– Eating to the point of physical discomfort
– Feelings of extreme shame, embarrassment, depression and/or disgust after eating
I know that I've done all of these things – especially the last one! – and yet while I might off-handedly call an overeating episode a binge, it is not a disorder until it significantly affects your quality of life. All eating disorders ruin your physical and mental health.
What Binge Eating Disorder Is Not
2. Gluttony. The term gluttony implies pleasure in the behavior. Some people overeat and love it – think the ancient Romans – but people with BED do not enjoy their food nor the process.
3. Depression. While people with BED are often depressed – as are sufferers of all eating disorders – it is not known whether the depression helps cause the BED or is an effect of it.
4. Weakness. It's a disorder. And people in the throes of a binging episode are every bit as frightened and overwhelmed by their problem as anorexics or bulimics are of theirs. It's not just a matter of willpower. Just like telling an anorexic to "just eat a sandwich already" doesn't cure them, telling a person with BED to "just stop eating" is not helpful either.
5. Bulimia or Anorexia. It is true that part of bulimia is bingeing but a bulimic also purges. People with BED do not induce vomiting, take laxatives, over exercise or ortherwise purge after the binge episodes. Anorectics are also known to binge after prolonged periods of starvation but these bingeing episodes stop on their own once the anorectic's weight reaches a healthy level.
6. A Female Problem. While women do account for slightly more of reported cases of BED, the numbers are pretty close. Men have this problem almost as frequently as women.
7. Cured by Dieting. In fact, chronic dieting can actually reinforce the binge eating pattern. Sufferers of BED often do need to lose weight but the emphasis should be on helping them overcome their eating disorder before putting them on a calorie-restricted plan.
What To Do if You Have Binge Eating Disorder
Back when I was in treatment for my eating disorder(s), my therapist said something that I have found helpful ever since: that all eating disorders are a form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Jack Nicholson and Howard Hughes notwithstanding, OCD is not just about hand washing and lock checking, rather it is about mitigating one's anxiety (the obsessive thoughts) by performing a ritualized behavior (the compulsions). Where anorexics respond to their anxiety by strictly controlling their food, people with BED respond by overeating. It's two sides of the same coin. I have spoke in the past about how I have had a lot of success managing my eating disorder and depression with CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and while I freely admit I am no expert in BED, I think it may be of use here as well.
But whatever you do, do something. You are not alone. You can be helped.

Have you seen the tons of weight your HCG diet buddies have shed? Read about the amazing body transformations HCG diet drops have done for thousands of others? So you're impatient to change your body and you want in?
Congratulations on taking charge of your life and weight loss goals!
Sometimes the hardest step in transforming your body is making the decision to do something different today. Tackling the HCG diet and incorporating the drops into your weight loss regimen doesn't have to be difficult, and you definitely don't have to go it alone…
Not quite sure where to begin with HCG? To comprehend what tools you'll need to best help you get optimal results while on the HCG diet is the first leap of success. Achieving successful results means equipping yourself with as much knowledge, support, and motivational tools as possible. Before you jump head first into the HCG diet world, armor up by giving yourself the best chances of success by doing these 10 things first!
1. Set a Date
There's nothing worse than deciding that you're going to adhere to a strict diet plan over the course of numerous, clustered-together holidays where you're fighting temptation every step of the way.
The first smart step is to set a date to start the HCG regimen where you can be in control of your diet and life as much as possible. Sometimes this means avoiding vacation dates, holidays, and periods where you may spend much of the time outside the home. Remember you want to set yourself up for success, and choosing dates where you can spend about two months dedicated to your body transformation is the first real plan in your HCG diet therapy.
2. Choose Your HCG
How to choose which one is right for you isn't as daunting as you might initially think. Self-evaluation is the key to this step.
Do you have high weight loss goals to achieve? More than 25 pounds? Prescription-grade HCG diet drops will be the right type of HCG for you. The more weight you carry, the more weight loss results you can expect from prescription HCG. The way HCG is naturally designed ensures that it's most efficient when there's large quantity of fat stores available for it to distribute to burn off. Its additional roles as an appetite suppressant trigger, energy enabler, and muscle-cell protector makes prescription HCG the most effective option for most people starting out with HCG drops.
If you've got less than 25 pounds to shed and you're pretty close to achieving your weight loss goals, the homeopathic HCG drops will be the way to go. When you have minimal pounds to drop, your brain tells the body to stop burning off the fat and to store it instead. When homeopathic HCG loaded with additional fat-busting boosters are introduced to the body, it tells the brain it's okay to let the fat go. While the diet and all-natural HCG drops provide the body with much-needed nutrition and fat-burning qualities, the body undergoes a recomposition phase of taking fat stores from hard-to-lose areas while protecting precious muscle and boosting energy levels.
Need more help choosing which type of HCG drops is best for you? Click here to check out our handy HCG Infographic.
3. Order Sufficient HCG
Encourage maximum results by having enough HCG to cater to your diet time-frame. It's vital to the HCG diet to have uninterrupted use of the HCG drops. Missing a day or two because of shipping delays or shelf shortages can greatly compromise your results. Purchase the HCG drops in bulk and don't worry about them spoiling before the end of your diet. Prescription HCG drops come unmixed and ready to refrigerate once you open. From that point, they last 60 days before they expire which is the right time for you to complete your regimen. Homeopathic drops come mixed and ready to take and generally have quite a long shelf-life, long enough to see you through the diet duration.
4. Set a Weight Loss Goal
This might seem obvious and easy, but it should take some mental effort to really consider your weight loss goal. Instead of comparing yourself to what you used to weigh in college or dreaming of fitting into those size 0 jeans, the most important aspects to focus on is setting a weight loss goal that's attainable, realistic, and specific. Having a real number will hold you accountable to do your best while on the HCG diet. Don't be vague. Attaching reasons to why you want to lose weight will help you stay motivated and keep from cheating.
Setting your goal will also encourage journal recording. Seeing your progress inch closer to achieving your goal will keep momentum and excitement going. Knowing that there is an end to the HCG diet may end up being bad news because you're enjoying seeing the pounds melt off. But if you've got more weight to lose, you can safely do another round of HCG therapy in a few weeks time after completion.
5. Take Before Pics and Measurements
This isn't everybody's favorite part of the weight loss journey, but it's a very important part. By taking pictures and measurements before, and perhaps even during the diet, you'll be able to track your progress and rate of weight loss. Not only can this be extremely encouraging for you, it can be an excellent support and motivational tool for someone else struggling with their weight or struggling to finish the HCG drops diet therapy.
Don't be afraid to take measurements of everything: your weight, waist, thighs, chest, arms, buttocks, neck, and even around the belly button (you can get tips on how best to here). You'll find that you just might feel super proud of your before pics since they will reflect all the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice you put into your body transformation with HCG drops.
6. Review the Supplied Diet Plan
Every HCG supplier should provide their own guideline of a diet plan for you to follow. If the company doesn't provide diet information and support, you may want to look for another one that does. It's essential to become familiar with this diet plan as your weight loss results will depend on it.
Although diet plans may vary somewhat, even between legitimate HCG suppliers, it's important to note that the diet plan needs to be either the 500 or 800 calorie plan. Consistencies in the food menu should be limited to a small approved list of proteins, vegetables, and fruits. Some approve some spices, coffee, and green tea while all should restrict the use of oils, sugar, and starches.
7. Assess Your Food Supplies
Before you throw yourself into HCG diet mode, take a moment to check your fridge and your cupboards. See anything inappropriate snarling back at you? Take this opportunity to do a full sweep of removing all unapproved foods from your shelves. You'll be doing yourself a favor by removing temptation, making it less likely for you to cheat and compromise your weight loss results. Instead transform your shelves with all the good foods that you'll be munching on to transform your body and health.
Additional tip: stock up on as much as you can. The less trips to the store means less temptation.
8. Begin a Weight Loss Journal
Skeptical about how tedious records can help you lose weight? Studies have shown that dieters that keep a weight loss journal lose double the amount of weight as dieters that don't. Don't limit yourself to pen and paper only. Use an online program or a smartphone app to record consumed foods and portion sizes. Don't forget that writing down how you feel after you've eaten certain foods as well as emotions that govern your appetite is just as important. There's a reason why emotional eating is such an epidemic. Targeting these aspects with awareness and accountability can help you stay on track long after the HCG diet is over.
9. Create a Meal Plan
Use your approved diet plan to create a menu of what your meal times should look like. This has many benefits:
- You'll prevent yourself from over-loading calories by knowing what to put together first.
- Getting creative with switching foods around can be the difference between failing and succeeding. If you get bored, your body might too.
- The meal plan prevents you from accidentally forgetting that french fries aren't on the menu, let alone any other unapproved food item.
By preparing ahead of time, you set yourself up for success. It's too easy to give into temptation when you're tired and don't want to think about what you're supposed to have.
10. Plan a Reward
Allow yourself to indulge in your reward when you've completed the HCG diet drop therapy. Dream bigger than fitting into those skinny jeans or being able to horse around with the kids. Take a cruise vacation, go hiking for three days, or buy a whole new wardrobe. Rewards encourage motivation and can help keep you accountable. Even while on the HCG diet, it still takes mental perseverance to continue and complete the regimen, and having a reward in place to look forward to at the end can help you overcome any obstacle that stands in your way.
As with any success in life, preparation and a solid foundation contributes greatly to achieving it. Completing these 10 steps before starting your HCG diet drops will provide you with the motivation, tools, knowledge, and support that will reflect physically in your new body. Up to tackling the HCG diet yet? Ready, get set, go!

Apple releases updated iPod touch, adds improved hardware to device
Date: Thursday, July 16th, 2015, 09:33
Category: Hardware, iPod, iPod Touch, News, retail, Uncategorized
Apple may not have done much with its iPod shuffle and nano models outside of changing the color offerings, but it beefed up the iPod touch in a big way this week.
The iPod touch's camera is now on par with the iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2, going from 5 megapixels in the last generation to 8 in the new version. Apple also incorporated an iPhone M8 motion coprocessor for better activity-tracking and a new 64-bit A8 chip to make the unit that much faster. A new 1136 x 640 resolution Retina display rounds things out and makes the device that much more robust.
The new version of the iPod touch, which arrives with iOS 8.4 and access to Apple Music, now arrives in a 128GB model available for US$399. A 16GB touch will run you $199, a 32GB for $249, and a 64GB for $299. All models are available in-store today, with Apple throwing in two-day shipping for free if you'd rather buy online.
Apple's product page for the updated iPod touch is available here and you can conveniently snag the unit off Amazon here if you can't find the unit in your local Apple Store location today.
If you've gotten your mitts on the updated iPod touch and have any feedback to offer about it, let us know in the comments.

Patterns of chloroplast reproduction: A developmental approach to protoplasmic plant anatomy (Cell biology monographs)
The subject of this book has not been treated comprehensively before. For many years I have hesitated to attempt a monographic presentation because I felt uneasy about the idea of delineating something I am not sure about myself, and I felt it might be rash to try to integrate what seemed-and largely still seems-to consist of a heap of tessera not fitting together. The conviction won over, however, that the many details accumulated thus far call for some order now, and that an appraisal of where we stand would be appropriate. This book, I hope, can fill a gap barring the way to further progress in the field. It is not only a compilation of details but also an attempt to delineate the first outlines of a picture-blurry, obscure, and controversial as it must appear. The imagination of the research worker will be aroused, I hope, and stimulate further progress. In addition to data widely dispersed in the literature much unpublished material has been included. The limited space available prevented me from giving all the details known. The subject is also linked to many neighboring fields of study, but these relationships and their ramifications could not be discussed at length. This is a minor shortcoming, however, compared with our great ignorance of the subject in general.

And it's time for StoryCorps, the project that travels the country collecting the stories of everyday people. Today we'll hear from a paramedic and the boy, now a grown man, whose life he saved. It happened in Brooklyn, 22 years ago this summer. Bryan Lindsay was riding his bike when he was hit by a van and almost killed. He was seven years old.
Rowan Allen was the paramedic on the scene .
ROWAN ALLEN: When the call came in, it was just before my shift ended that day. The first instinct was, oh man, right before we get off. And then the dispatcher comes back on the air and he says, child struck. That just changes everything. And luckily we were just a couple blocks away.
You had a massive dent on your forehead. And I remember your mother asking me in the ambulance, is he going to be all right? And I played it down. And I said to her, oh, just a little bump on the head. But to this day, when I start thinking about the details, I get choked up. My partners and I would come to the hospital every chance we got and check in on you.
Even after you came out of the hospital and you were getting better, we used to come by the house. We would drive by.
BRYAN LINDSEY: Yeah. I know it was second grade, and it was hard to adjust. The kids would call me helmet head because I would have a helmet on my head. And I remember crying to the doctor, saying I don't want to go to school. And he said, oh, don't worry, you know, all the ladies gonna love your helmet. But it was the complete opposite. It was torture for those years.
ALLEN: I had no contact with you guys for a very long time. But one day we brought a patient into the hospital, and I heard this lady's voice. I didn't see her. I just heard the voice, and it stopped me dead in my tracks. And so I backed up and I looked in the room, and there was this little short nurse, it was your mother. And she saw me. We were hugging up real tight. And she's crying, and I'm bawling.
And she said Bryan's going to be graduating and I want you to come as a surprise. And when I showed up that day, when I rang the bell, did she tell you to open the door?
LINDSEY: Yeah, she told me to open the door, yeah.
ALLEN: She set you up.
LINDSEY: She set me up good. You know, just to be here with you is more than I could ever ask. And it's a privilege to be around you. I really sincerely thank you.
ALLEN: I appreciate that, Bryan. I mean to develop this kind of a relationship and this kind of bond, I can't put it into words. But this is what makes me do what I do. I feel so good.
GREENE: That's paramedic Rowan Allen with Bryan Lindsey in New York. Lindsey now runs his own business and Allen still works with the New York City Fire Department. This and all StoryCorps interviews are archived at the Library of Congress and you can subscribe to the StoryCorps podcast at NPR.org.

The Philadelphia Phillies made a big-time signing on Friday, snagging Cuban star pitcher Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez for a pricy $50 million over six years. The contract could end up approaching $60 million — nearing a record for an international player.
Over the years, international players have become a hot commodity in the free agent market. Two years ago, Yoenis Cespedes was signed to a huge contract with the Oakland Athletics as well as Yu Darvish to the Texas Rangers. This past season, Yasiel Puig was signed to a big contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers and all three of these signings have paid off.
The Phillies are looking to make up their nine games of lost ground in the NL East by bolstering their rotation, however, this move looks as if they are focusing toward the future, as in next season, because Gonzalez will likely be sent to the minors and not be brought up until next season.
With Cole Hamels struggling mightily, Roy Halladay seemingly disappearing and Cliff Lee being the only consistent starter, Gonzalez could be a top-of-the-rotation guy come 2014.
This could end up being one of the best international signings in MLB history, but right now, all we have to base it off of is speculation of his talent. The 26-year-old Cuban star has been said to throw his fastball in the mid-90s and could end up being one of the best pitchers in the Phillies' rotation next year.
While fans may have wanted a move that could help the team out now, this will be very beneficial toward the future of the organization.

The Drobo FS "File Server" came as a welcome surprise to network-loving users wanting to share the Drobo magic with multiple computers, but just how well does it perform? New owner Timon Royer wasn't content with Data Robotics' own "30-40MB/s" figures, and so he benchmarked the compact NAS/server himself. He found that, while the Drobo FS does perform better than a second-gen Drobo, it's still not the NAS to get if you're looking for outright speed.
In fact, according to his benchmarks, while the second-gen Drobo scored 34.3MB/s read and 29.5MB/s write, the Drobo FS only edged ahead in read speed, at 39.7MB/s, while write was actually slower, at 27.3MB/s. That's when both units were using empty 1TB Seagate 7,200rpm HDDs; when 60-percent full, the second-gen Drobo fell to 14.3MB/s read and write, while the 40-percent full Drobo FS maintained a healthier 39.1MB/s read and 26.7MB/s write.
That's considerably slower than a Core i7 iMac Timon benchmarked against, but that isn't so surprising. The real benefit is Data Robotics' BeyondRAID drive mirroring tech, and that's something that many users prioritize above raw speed.

Today Snap revealed that it now has 166 million daily users, 34 million fewer than Facebook's Snapchat clone, Instagram Stories. Facebook launched Instagram Stories in August 2016, a completely transparent effort to rip off the formula that made Snapchat a success and slow down Snapchat's growth in the process. Facebook's attempts to copy Snapchat almost always fail — Poke, Slingshot, etc. — but Instagram Stories took off. Investors were sweating over Snap's growth after Facebook said Instagram Stories had reached 200 million users in April — way above the 158 million users Snapchat had at the end of 2016. Now it looks like they had good reason to worry. The big takeaway: Hitting 158 million users in 2016 was significant (Snapchat grew 48 percent in one year) but then Snapchat's growth started slowing down. The app added 5 million users in Q4 2016, and a little more in Q1 2017 (8 million). Compared to early 2016, this growth rate sucks, and the change correlates with the rise of Instagram Stories. The trend makes Facebook look invincible, and it makes Snap look like Twitter. Shared From Venturebeat

Fisheries shut up shop as cold bites
The big freeze has cost the angling industry millions of pounds in lost revenue, with fishery owners, tackle shops and manufacturers all reeling from the longest period of Arctic weather to hit the K for almost 30 years.
Stillwater venue bosses have battled in vain to keep their waters free from ice and, with the majority of rivers rising to dangerously high levels, anglers have been forced to put their sport on hold.
One such fishery owner left counting the cost is Tony Bridgefoot, whose on hugely-popular day-ticket complex, Bluebell Lakes, has been virtually devoid of anglers since before Christmas.
He said: "The freeze has cost me over £10,000 so far and that figure will continue to rise if it carries on into February. I'd have expected a busy period over Christmas and New Year, but there's not been a bivvy in sight as the lakes are frozen. You have to budget for bad weather, but this has come completely out of the blue."
It has been a similar story at the nation's major commercial complexes, where anglers have made failed attempts to find a fishable spot.
"We've had to cancel tons of matches. People have been coming to the fishery expecting us to have a little corner clear, but every inch has been frozen solid. It's been very tough and over the Christmas period we made around £40 from pleasure anglers a figure we'd normally expect to be closer to £1,500," said Makins Fishery owner Alan Mciarmid.
Tackle shops have also struggled to keep their tills ringing over Christmas. Worksop Angling Supplies chief Greg Forrester said: "We've had heavy snow in the area for over three weeks an people simply can't get to the shop. We are selling literally no bait and it's currently costing me over £1,000 a week in lost trade. You expect a bit of snow, but I've never known the weather to get this bad in all my life."
While many will struggle to recall a period which tested angling's resolve to such a degree, coarse and game fishing legend Bob Church remembers a time when conditions were even worse.
"In 1963, the big freeze started early, just like this one, and went on for three full months! The River Nene even froze over in place and, while it was iced up, a slug of pollutant went through under the ice ad killed all the fish along a 30-mile length. So, as bad as it seems right now, it could be worse!"

TOKYO (majirox news) – Politics makes strange bedfellows and so does bidding on huge international projects. Mongolia has just finished the second round of bidding for an open pit coal mine, which experts believe will be the largest in the world when completed.
"The mine has estimated reserves enough to supply Japan's entire coal needs for at least the next 30 years," claims the Asahi Shimbun.
Japanese trading companies will naturally be bidding on Mongolia's gigantic project and have joined into bidding groups with foreign companies. The most interesting one involves a consortium of the four largest Japanese trading houses, South Korea's leading natural resources company and Russia's state owned railway system. Makes you wonder what became of the fuss and fury over the "Northern Territories" or was it the South Kuriles? Japan and Russia have been quarreling about these four smallish islands since the end of World War II. These islands are currently held by Russia, but claimed by Japan.
Mongolia with its vast, empty spaces and comparatively small population may be a treasure chest of undiscovered natural resources. Sandwiched between Russia and China, which may be the country's biggest customers who seek to dominate it and every new project to tap Mongolia's untold wealth.
It is not just a commercial project, but also a difficult diplomatic dance. While mollifying China and Russia on one hand, Mongolia is eager to have other foreign investors to maintain a modicum of independence.
As the world's 10th largest producer of natural resources and mine production accounting for 33 percent of GDP as well as 78 percent of exports, it's well on the way to becoming another Australia, but one without the comfortable certainty that the entire Pacific ocean lies between them and their most eager customers.

DIY Hanging Chair – Sometimes, we would want to swing in order to unwind. The swinging motion makes us feel totally free and calm just like how a child falls asleep on a cradle or on a swinging hammock. Because of the sweet sensation we really feel from swinging, even chairs are hanged on the air. It does make us feel good when we study a book or just loosen up on a hanging chair.
But hanging chairs are a bit high-priced specifically these with gorgeous styles. What if you just make something on your personal? Yes, that is actually possible. What is good in just producing it is that you can't just save funds but you can determine on the design that you actually really like. So, if you don't know how to make a hanging and swing chair, here are epic concepts for you!
Hanging chair from Gorgeous Mess is genius! I also like that the print of the fabric are various on each sides. Don't throw away your old chair. Take away the legs, add some ropes and you will have some thing like this! I like how this was produced. So straightforward and simple but it turned out extremely beautiful!
Pallet swings is a great concept each for indoor and outside use. Add some throw pillows for some soft touch. You can also make one like this that will make your toddler feel like they are enveloped inside like a tent. Lovely mix of colorful padding and playful string that connects the wood staves of the casks to the kind.
Most of the chairs above would call for some carpentry skills but in truth, it only call for motivation and creativity. Once you have each of that, the rest will follow. I like how all of these had been developed. They turned out truly stunning! Can you inform me which of the above DIY swing chairs you really like the most?

Earlier this year it was revealed that Glencore and rival Trifagura had supplied tonnes of raw material to an Iranian company that then supplied the a company involved in its nuclear programme.
The Swiss trading group had a barter agreement with the Iranian Aluminium Company (Iralco), under which Glencore provided alumina - used to make aluminium - in return for a smaller amount of the metal.
It was then revealed that Iralco itself had a contract to supply aluminium to Iran Centrifuge Technology Co (Tesa), a subsidiary of Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation.
"If confirmed, such transactions may reflect an avenue for procurement of a raw material in a manner that circumvents sanctions," the UN document said, according to a Reuters report. "The companies involved have stated that they have halted those transactions."
Glencore says it stopped any dealings with Italco when sanctions were introduced. The revelation of a supply relationship between Iralco and Tesa resulted in the European Union imposing sanctions on Iralco in December last year.
"We continuously monitor all contracts which are or could be affected by sanctions. As soon as Iralco was sanctioned by the EU we ceased transactions with them," Glencore said.
"Glencore complies with applicable laws and regulations, including applicable sanctions. We closely monitor all new legal developments to ensure that we continue to be in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including applicable sanctions," Glencore added.
The FTSE 100 group said that its last trade with Iralco was in October 2012, two months before the EU levied sanctions. Prior to EU sanctions on Iralco in December 2012, the company was not aware of any link or contract between Iralco and Tesa, Glencore said.

Toyota Motor Corp. says it built 8.09 million units in 2006, an increase of 10% from 2005.
When factoring in Toyota's Daihatsu and Hino units, the auto maker's total global production grew 9.5% to 9.02 million units, approaching the 9.18 million General Motors Corp. built in 2006.
Toyota saw its total overseas production, which includes Toyota and Daihatsu brands, rise for the fifteenth consecutive year, to 8.6% or 3.93 million units, a record tally.
Toyota's exports jumped a hefty 23.6% to 2.71 million units in 2006, with a 29.8% rise in passenger-car exports offsetting a 19.4% drop in truck and bus shipments.
Total Japanese domestic production was up for the fifth straight year at 10.3% to 5.09 million units, but Japanese sales were flat at 2.37 million units. Excluding Daihatsu and Hino, sales of Toyota vehicles slipped 1.3% to 1.70 million units last year, reflecting Japan's depressed new-vehicle market.
However, Toyota's market share in Japan, excluding minivehicles, is at a record 45.5%. Including Daihatsu, Hino and minivehicle sales, Toyota's total market share in Japan for 2006 was 41.3%, also a record high.
Meanwhile, Honda Motor Co. Ltd. reportedly has overtaken Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. in Japan for the No.2 spot in total global output, with 3.63 million units assembled in 2006, a 6.6% increase.
Nissan's total global production fell 7.7% to 3.24 million units in the year.
Smaller Japanese auto makers Mazda Motor Corp. and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. had mixed results in 2006 output.
Mazda's worldwide vehicle production rose 12.1% to 1.29 million units, while Mitsubishi's output fell 3.6% to 1.31 million units in 2006.

A poor aviator lay dying.
At the end of a bright summer's day.
His comrades had gathered about him.
To carry his fragments away.
The airplane was piled on his wishbone,
His Hotchkiss was wrapped round his head;
He wore a spark-plug on each elbow,
'Twas plain he would shortly be dead.
He spit out a valve and a gasket,
And stirred in the sump where he lay,
And then to his wondering comrades,
These brave parting words he did say:
And the butterfly valve off my neck,
Extract from my liver the crankshaft,
There are lots of good parts in this wreck.
And the cylinders out of my brain,
Take the piston rods out of my kidneys,
And assemble the engine again."
Oh God damnn the bombin' planes from Germany.
They're over us, they're over us,
One shell-hole for the four of us
Glory be to God there are no more of us
'Cause one of us could fill it all alone.
Gassed last night—gassed the night before,
Gonna get gassed again if we never git
gassed no more,
When we're gassed, we're as sick as we can be,
'Cause phosgene and mustard gas is too much
for me.

World War I > Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman, anarchists censored to two years in penitentiary and fined $10,000 each for opposing the draft, July 9, 1917
Eugene Debs, 1918:
"I believe in the Constitution. Isn't it strange that we Socialists stand almost alone today in upholding and defending the Constitution of the United States? The revolutionary fathers … understood that free speech, a free and the right of free assemblage by the people were fundamental principles in democratic government. … I believe in the right of free speech, in war as well as peace."
Attorney General Mitchell Palmer, 1920:
"Like a prairie-fire, the blaze of revolution was sweeping over every American institution of law and order a year ago. It was eating its way into the homes of the American workmen, its sharp tongues of revolutionary heat were licking the altars of the churches, leaping into the belfry of the school bell, crawling into the sacred corners of American homes, seeking to replace marriage vows with libertine laws, burning up the foundations of society. …
My information showed that communism in this country was an organization of thousands of aliens who were direct allies of Trotzky. Aliens of the same misshapen caste of mind and indecencies of character, and it showed that they were making the same glittering promises of lawlessness, of criminal autocracy to Americans, that they had made to the Russian peasants."

Ed Sheeran 'Graham Norton Show' Video: Watch Interview On Children's Toys
Ed Sheeran appeared on Friday's "Graham Norton Show," during which he admitted to having a love for children's toys. Watch a funny highlight from the singer's interview below!
Sheeran explained on the British talk show that he was deprived of expensive Lego sets as a young boy, so when his first album reached number one on the charts, he bought "the big Death Star" from Star Wars. "I'm just a big kid now," noted the singer. "I went to go and buy my goddaughter a Ninja Turtle toy for her birthday, and then I was in the Ninja Turtle section and there was this huge Ninja Turtle truck." Sheeran continued, "I was looking at the small toy I got for her and the big truck and I was like, 'I'm getting that for me.'"
The singer went on to admit he has "a lot of child stuff" in his house, revealing, "There's a room full of teddy bears." He then joked, "This is such an embarrassing interview." Sheeran further confessed that his affinity for toys extends into his love life, saying, "I remember I once went on a date and brought a Lego set, then made the Lego set and left."

We sat down with Federica Potenza, a self-professed traveller (she is Italian but has grown up in Switzerland), creative and aesthete. Though she has a keen interest in fashion and photography, Federica is not your conventional admirer of fashion. Instead, she aims to discover her own style by observing her environment, gathering inspiration from travelling, art, architecture and/or intriguing individuals around her. Whilst managing her Liberal Arts degree at King's College, she also juggles two jobs at a shop on Savile Row and Abercrombie & Fitch and is a photographer for the King's College London Fashion Society.
What's your ideal Friday night out?
I'm not exactly the classic 'clubbing' kind of person. Depending on the weather, I would rather gather my closest friends together, order takeaway and drink Baileys' milkshakes, or have a BBQ at the lakeside of my hometown, with music, fire and cold beer. I absolutely love dancing, don't get me wrong, but I don't really care where I dance the night away as long as I'm with the right people. The Cuban club in Camden is always a good laugh, and so is Bussey Building in Peckham, although I have had some great nights in Mahiki, too. If I end up clubbing, a fun cab ride home or a cup of tea with my friends before bed are an absolute must.
If you could only wear one outfit for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A hooded, black leather onesie – definitely.
What's the most precious/sentimental thing in your wardrobe?
My grandmother's engagement gifts – they're all classics.
What's the best piece of advice you've been given?
"Everyone is fighting a tough battle you know nothing about; be kind, always."
What's your guilty pleasure?
There's definitely not enough space here for that!
If you could be successful in any other profession, what would it be?
I would love to be abel to save lives. From my perspective, being a doctor is one of the most honourable professions. Apart from that, I've always wanted to become a successful Egyptologist, but that was before my creative vein took over.
Tell us the most surprising thing that people may not know about you:
People are always surprised when they realise how sensitive I am. I cry when I watch movies, always, even during comedies. If it's not the story that makes me cry, the soundtrack most certainly will. This is one of the reasons why my best friends refuse to take me to the cinema, and if they do, they make sure we're sitting in the back!
Have you always had an interest in fashion?
Not at all. When I was a child, I actually rejected anything related to fashion. I started to develop a strong sense for aesthetics at a very young age, always following my own style. I remember driving my mother crazy sometimes! She always knew the trends of each season (she still does), whereas I've genuinely never cared. I've never bought a fashion magazine, and you will probably never see me carrying one. To me, fashion is synonymous with perception and experience. You won't be able to read fashion off of a magazine, since you need to see it, discuss it, feel it. Fashion is something you are confronted with when you observe street style, or disagree on colours, shapes and/or emerging brands. To me, fashion is all about the individual and the reflection of the innermost workings. It has been part of my identity for as long as I can remember.
You're studying Liberal Arts, but most of your Instagram feed is architecture, but you also like fashion, so is that just a separate interest, or is it something you want to get into?
Yes, that's true. However, there is a common denominator, and that's my passion for aesthetics. My feed is not aimed at architecture or fashion per se, but rather it tries to capture the perfect composition, the perfect lighting, colours or the balance of silence and vibrancy. My idea of aesthetics is always related to the beauty of/in the moment, the juxtaposition of past-present-future, or in other words, the timelessness of time. Liberal Arts is the perfect course for that, since it equips me with all the skills needed to read my environment as thoroughly as possible in search of universal beauty and balance. To me, architecture and fashion are hardly distinguishable, and I'd love to pursue both in the future.
Describe your style in three words:
Edgy, semi-glam but totally dark avant-garde?
What emoji are you?
The mushroom. Don't ask, it's strictly flatmate banter.
Who, dead or alive, would you most like to have dinner with?
God or Alexander McQueen, though they might be one and the same person, actually. Either way, I've got some issues that need discussing.
What interests you most about fashion?
I'm mostly interested in the creative and ingenious minds behind the industry. It's fascinating to see how rapidly fashion changes, and yet we're still able to recognise designers' signatures. Their work is timeless. Keeping your own identity in a world that changes day by day already seems like quite a challenge, but creating a whole new identity and convincing people to copy/share/wear it? That's a mystery and the most fascinating part for me.
Would you rather fight 100 duck sized horses, or one horse sized duck?
100 duck sized horses!
Would you rather walk around fashion week in a black bin liner and have everyone think you're serious, or delete your Instagram?
Black bin liner for sure! Are you kidding?! How great would that be?! I'd love to see their faces…thanks for the idea, I think I'll give it a go next season.
What is the staple item in your wardrobe right now?
My vintage fringed black floral-patterned velvet kimono.
What are your aims and goals for 2016?
I definitely want to become a better human everyday. I'd like to figure out my next academic/career step, travel and make my friends and family proud and happy. Apart from that, I really need to start going to the gym more regularly and get better at replying to text messages.
