Top 10 Tips for Avoiding Jet Lag
Most travelers try to make the most of their limited time overseas, yet fail to take into account the leap in time zones they make in a matter of hours. It can take your body's internal clock several days to catch up to that leap, and in the meantime you're likely to experience the disruption of your sleeping and waking cycle known as jet lag. Symptoms of jet lag include sleepiness during the day, insomnia at night, poor concentration, confusion, hunger at inappropriate times or lack of appetite, and general malaise and irritability. Here are our top tips to fight jet lag.
1. Adjust your internal clock.
Several days (at least four) before departure, gradually shift your sleeping and eating times to coincide with those at your destination. Once you arrive, adopt the local time for your daily routine.
2. Opt for overnight flights.
You'll have dinner at a normal time and be much more likely to sleep than on an afternoon flight. Depending on the length of the flight and the number of time zones you cross, you'll arrive at your destination in the morning or afternoon. This is the best way to replicate your normal schedule, and it'll be easier for you to reset your clock.
3. Curtail coffee.
For 12 hours before, as well as during, your flight, avoid overeating and caffeine. Although caffeine can help keep you awake longer, it makes you wake up more often once you do fall asleep and so reduces total sleep time.
4. Stay hydrated.
Drink at least 8 ounces of water for every hour you're in the air—even if you don't feel thirsty. If you wear contact lenses, clean them thoroughly before your flight, use eye drops in the air, and consider removing your lenses if you nap. In your carry-on pack a bottle of moisturizing lotion, lip balm, and a hydrating spray with essential oils (not just water) to spritz your face with occasionally. Just be sure all toiletries are TSA compliant.
5. Avoid or limit alcohol inflight.
Cabin air dehydrates passengers, and altitude changes can quicken the effects of alcohol (the rule of thumb is one drink in the air is the same as two or three on the ground). A cocktail may relax you, but it's also apt to dry you out, and even worsen symptoms of jet lag.
6. Try to sleep on the plane.
This is especially important when you're traveling overnight or flying west to east. Travel is extremely tiring, and the more rest your body gets en route the more prepared you'll be to deal with the stresses of jet lag. If you're taking a very long flight—United States to Asia, for example—consider saving up enough dollars or frequent-flier miles to fly business or first class, as it's a lot easier to sleep when your seat reclines all the way back. If you can't avoid coach, opt for a window seat and bring enough padding (pillows or something that can act as such) to prop yourself up against the wall.
7. Use sleeping pills wisely.
A pill with a short cycle may be helpful on overnight flights. Make sure, however, that you time the dosage correctly or you may be very groggy when you land. Also, an airplane is not the place to try out a pill for the first time, so only take medications you are already familiar with.
8. See if melatonin is for you.
Consider taking the nonprescription drug melatonin. Research suggests that the body uses this hormone to set its time clock. Because melatonin seems to control when we go to sleep and when we wake up, a number of scientists advocate supplements to alleviate jet lag. Some (but not all) studies suggest that taking 3 milligrams of fast-release melatonin prior to bedtime for several days after arrival in a new time zone can ease the transition.
9. Get outside.
After arrival, spend a lot of time out in the sunlight, which will help your body reset its natural time clock to coincide with your new surroundings.
10. Don't drift off too early.
Unless you arrive at your destination at night, and reasonably close to a normal bedtime, don't go to sleep as soon as you reach your hotel. Unless you're used to taking regular short naps at home, you're better off staying up until bedtime: If you're really exhausted from travel, a 20-minute nap could easily become a three-hour nap, which will disrupt your sleep schedule even more—you might find yourself wide awake at 4 AM.

Nice article, good advise. I travel every week between florida and California for business and I found the perfect solution that really cures Jet Lag. www. jetlagfx.com all natural cure like no other i tried. and its cheap! love it, never travel without it.
Hey, that's really nice tips to avoid jet lag and I think after following your tips, traveller easy to get rid of travel frustration. But If it's daytime at your destination while you are flying, do your best to stay awake. If it's the middle of the night, try to sleep.
Jet lag is also known as time zone change syndrome or desynchronosis. Jet lag can occur when people travel rapidly from east to west, or west to east on a jet plane. It is a physiological condition which upsets our body's circadian rhythms - hence, it is classified as a circadian rhythm disorder. Jet lag symptoms tend to be more severe when the person travels from westward compared to eastward. Read more to know about jet lag and how to avoid it: http://bit.ly/1qJfRik
Probably the best tip is #10. There's research out there (http://www.ergoflex.com.au/sleepcentre/how-do-you-cure-jet-lag ) that suggests a person can completely avoid jet lag by fighting sleepiness on arrival and going to bed at the local normal bed time (whatever yours is). This is equally true if you arrive deep into the night. Either sleep and set an alarm, or stay awake till the next day.
I had a Pulmonary Embolism (close cousin to a DVT) in 2006 and travelled from Australia to the USA and Canada in 2008 without incident. The only special strategies we used were to stop in Hawaii each way for a few days - NOT an imposition at all; and to drink water more often than I otherwise would.
Limiting your flights to 9 or so hours is a great way to beat jet lag!
A Harvard study found that you can use food to quickly fix your body clock. Don't eat for the 8 hours you are supposed to be sleeping, but do have something to eat, even a small snack at the end of it. Your body will wake up at whatever time you had that snack.
Don't believe me? Try setting an alarm and having a sandwich at 3am. I guarantee you'll wake up at 3am the next night.
I disagree with hint number 2. I always had horrible jet lag when I took night flights. Then I started taking flights that left early in the morning and arriving at night. I found that if I went to sleep shortly after arrival, I would wake up the next morning and have a normal day with little or not jet lag.
We tried waiting to pack for Europe (eastbound) until the night before we were leaving and by 6 p.m. departure time of flight, we were ready to sleep, waking refreshed in London. Also necessary to eat a big meal when you arrive.
It is easy to help keep circulation moving even while sitting in the airplane seat by stretching out your legs in place, under the seat in front of you, and drawing small circles with your feet, first one direction, then the other. Learned this from a LeMaze instructor thirty years ago when I was pregnant and it is a handy exercise,
Another sitting exercise is to do alternating knee lifts in place.
Chico's travel pants, flight stockings, a neck pillow and a Pashmina shawl used like a burka help me create a comfortable, dark cocoon in which my light sedative can do its job. I like the comfort of the warm airline meal , and can usually go back into the sleepy "zone" if I listen to calming music while staring at the flight pattern, imagining my destination and what people are doing there at the curent time.
Another Magnesium warning--- most people get the dribbling poopies within a few hours of taking Magnesium, especially the first few times. I would not suggest Mg for an overseas flight. And, I always wear the compression socks--I love those things. I take my shoes off when I board. But make sure you pack a pair of firm sole slippers in your carryon. By the end of the flight, the toilet floors are wet and disgusting. Catnap whenever you get the chance.
coming from SF, we usually stop for a few days in either NYC or Atlanta. Helps us enjoy our European time without having major jet lag.
i know everyone says don't sleep before bed time. i find a 1 hour nap in the afternoon, once settled into our room, refreshes one greatly, preparing for an enjoyable evening of activities. you won't miss a single night of fun.
Please........on a Travel site !! The clock for my home town of SYDNEY is shown as SIDNEY .... shame.
I find that going to bed at the normal destination bedtime is the biggest help. If I fly overnight, I do not sleep that well. Once I get settled in at my destination, I take a nap (no more than 2 hours). Depending on how far I travel, I am normally awake by about noon and ready to go for the day. If I do not get that nap, or wait until later in the day, I just feel like a zombie.
I'm fortunate to adapt pretty quickly to local time zones--mostly because I'm so sleep deprived by the time I leave that my body is happy to fall into any normal routine in a foreign time zone!
For the women who follow this string, I suggest wearing a pair of pantihose on the plane--it keeps the blood from pooling in your legs where it may form clots. I can still remove my shoes and don a pair of flight socks. I don't sleep well on planes, and I drink a lot of water, so I'm usually up every 2-3 hours for a trip to the loo--and while waiting in line, I do leg swings or march in place to keep my blood circulating. Wearing pantihose also makes it easier to get your shoes back on at the end of the flight--your feet won't be swollen.
I agree that you need to fall into the local time when you get to your destination. Only think about what time it is at home if you have to call someone there.
One simple thing I do after arriving several times zones away is to avoid the temptation to peak at the time "back home". It's much better to immerse yourself totally into your new environment. I avoid this for at least a week after arriving at my destination. Peaking at the time back home will only serve to confuse your brain on what time it "really is".
For overseas travel, I take note of teh Arrival time at the destination. If the flight arrives in AM, I do my best to catch as much sleep as possible; on arrival I keep busy (outdoors in sunlight to teh extent possible) then go to bed at a 'normal' evening time.
If Flight arrives in afternoon or early evening, I stay awake on teh flight, press on with activities at the destination even though tired, until a relatively 'normal' bedtime. No jet lag. Heading East to Europe, leave in the evening (US time) and sleep all the way. Heading west to Asia/Australia (much longer flights), take flight arriving in the AM...stay active/awake on the flight until 8 hours before arrival, sleep as much of that time as possible. As mentioned, if possible take Business Class and advise Flight attendant NEVER to disturb you for meals if you are sleeping...even pre-arrival snack/breakfasts.
Regent, I would still try to sleep on the flight. We have travelled at least 10 times overseas and have always preferred the evening, overnight flight. Unless you are very lucky, you will doze more than sleep on the flight. Getting to the airport, through security to your flight, the flight, disembarking, passport control and customs, finding your luggage, finding your way to your hotel, etc.etc.-- you will be tired. And a light sleeping pill that first night will do the trick (no alcohol of course).
Bon voyage and have a great time!
Any advice?: we're flying overnight from West Coast USA and arriving in Italy in the evening. If we sleep on the plane, we won't be tired to go to sleep when we land. I'm guessing the pro-travelers would advise to NOT sleep long on the flight.
For many years, I have been taking No Jet Lag tablets during my international flights and taking Airborne tablets. It has made a huge difference. I may be a bit tired, but I don't have that "fuzzy" feeling like I did on my first trip to the UK in 1994, where I was pretty much out of it for 5-7 hours the first day.
I know that it is recommended to not sleep during the day up on arrival and go to sleep at 8-9 pm, but with this new routine of Airborne and No Jet Lag, I arrive at the B&B and take a 2-hour nap and feel great the rest of the day.
Re Magnesium: If you tend to get leg cramps, magnesium may be helpful. Be aware, however, that it tends to work as a laxative for most people!
I've had very good luck with "No Jet Lag" which you can purchase at REI or online. It's homeopathic and has worked great for other overseas travelers that I have spoken to as well.
For some years, my husband and I have practiced "pre-emptive jet lag." A week before our flight to France, we get up each day 1/2 hour earlier (and of course go to bed 1/2 hour earlier. And it feels alright to be like a little kid and go to bed at 8:00 pm!). So by flight day we are getting up at 3:30- 4:00 AM. On flight day, our tradition is to be "the first customers at Phil's" at 6:00 AM. (Western Canadians will understand.) We walk there (1/2 hour) and back again. Then mess about doing last minute chores. Take a nap at 11:00. Mid afternoon light meal and head to the airport for the "3 hours early" for international flights. No kidding around, we do feel rotten. BUT we sleep reasonably well on the flight "No thank you, we don't want supper." ) I do wear flight socks and when I stir make sure I flex my legs. AND -- by day 2 we are on France's time zone and feel just fine! I'd rather have jet lag at home than on holidays.

You don't need to walk the whole time to avoid DVT. The best method is to sleep for 2-3 hours then take a short walk to the back of the plane and stretch. Don't worry if people look at you strange for stretching, it really helps. Although this will interrupt your sleeping, I doubt you would really be able to sleep soundly anyway.
Get as much sleep as possible and walk around once every 3 hours!
Someone recently told me that magnesium is a relaxer and suggested I take 500 mg during a long flight as a natural way to assist sleep. Has anyone ever tried that? Is it effective?
#6 Is what got me in deep trouble.. On a flight from Rome via Zurich to Boston I slept almost the entire time. Three days later I was admitted to the local hospital to the Special Care Unit with blood clots in my lungs (DVT)..which developed in my legs because of my sleeping and not walking the aisles..I am still dealing with the effects of that flight...So forget the sleeping and the sleeping pills, wear special stockings and walk the aisles.

If it's not fun- I'm not doing it.
People call me weird, I prefer unique. I am looking for fun, laughter, and someone who is passionate about what they do. I have been told I am a mix between Rainbow Bright and Punky Brewster- I don't hate it. I have a strange, sometimes (well, a lot of the time) inappropriate sense of humor but I know how to act around your mom. I am not looking to get married tomorrow, next month, or even next year. I won't text you everyday. Chances are I wont even call you, its not because I don't like you, its because I have older brothers and I have seen my share of needy, annoying girls. Plus, what happened to being courted? Or a good challenge? If you don't open my car door- I wont get in the car. That's not to sound snotty, just honest. I am a lady (who loves the "F" word) looking for a gentlemen. A few of the many things that are wrong with me: I chew bubble gum, need to be reminded to wear a seatbelt, have a short attention span, will use the "daddy issue" card every chance I can to get out of a decision I don't care about. (ex. You: "What do you want to do?" Me: "I don't know... my dad left") You can call me out on it-- its an excuse. I use my middle finger, a lot. I think Facebook ruin lives. Aside from Mom and Grandma, my brothers are my world- they will always be the most important men in my life. I travel. A lot. Last year I was on the road 287 days. Again, I am not looking to tattoo your name on my arm. I just want to go on a date when I'm home with someone that I haven't known since I was 5... Who knows what could happen from there. I am looking for someone who is FUN. A guy that's witty, charming, feels okay wearing a onezie, likes dressing up in a costume to go to the grocery store, LOVES his family, will listen to a good song on repeat, can embrace a bow tie, likes to dance, either never cuts his hair or spends too much time styling it, calls his mom, isn't cheesy, doesn't have douchey friends (or does, but knows it)... and most of all knows how to make a girl laugh.

Discipline is a Melbourne-based publisher and contemporary art journal edited by Nicholas Croggon, David Homewood, and Helen Hughes. It has a focus on longer, research-based essays, interviews and artist pages.
While based and published in Melbourne, the writers and artists who have contributed to Discipline are both local and international. In presenting longer-form essays, the journal aims to ground a new body of sustained intellectual writing about contemporary art that does not merely fall back on the crutch of "plurality" as a means for theorising art after postmodernism and globalisation.
Discipline aims to publish highly focused essays that take on, critically and intelligently, the full strength of contemporary artworks, working through their specific concepts, histories, politics and materialities.

How much water is every one drinking in a day? I am currently drinking at least 4 liters of water and I still find myself thirsty beyond belief. I drink 3 liters just at work alone. I know I have at least another liter at dinner. Then any juice or milk I have at breakfast or before bed is just added to that... Why am I so thirsty?
Fluid Intake
Comments (6)
I have been drinking tons of water too. I don't keep track, but I have a 20 oz. water bottle that I fill 4-5 times a day. I was just reading that it's good to drink lots of water with multiples (the article said that even a gallon is not too much). Although I think I am retaining some water now......my feet are definitely looking swollen...yikes!
Mom to Anthony, 7/08, Alex, 4/10, and Kurt & Kyle (twins born 2/13)
I think your supposed to aim for a gallon a day. If your drinking that much and still are thirsty then that could be a sign of GD but it can also just be a sign of pregnancy. Have you had your glucose testing yet?
Mom to C, L, R and E
I passed my GD test with flying colors. I even had a soda before hand. The only thing I really don't like about drinking this much water is that I feel full so it is hard for me to even remember to eat. I have my calander on my computer at work send me reminders every two hours to eat something. When I am at home I deffinately forget to feed myself.

Hello all,
Hope this does not sound too stupid but I was wondering, what do you coin guys out there use to shine your silver coins? I recently saw Roth lecture in NYC and his coins looked like little discs of mirrors.
Also, I just recently began learning Daryl's 3 Fly III routine and acquired a set of old, "soft", Morgan silver dollars and was wondering whether it would be best to shine them up or perform the effect with dingy coins?
Many thanks,

It's one of the big questions in global finance these days.
Hong Kong has the highest home prices among major global cities, including London, New York and Tokyo, according to a report by the international property consultancy Savills.
Many believe the market is ripe for a setback, although opinions differ on how serious.
"Hong Kong's property market is like a patient getting early-stage cancer. However, our government gives it medicine that is designated for final stage cancer patients," says Raymond Lee, the regional chief executive of Savills. "The high dosage kills both good cells and cancer cells. The patient will also die."
Prices show no serious signs of falling despite repeated attempts by the government to curb gains. Against that, there is a housing shortage, mortgage costs are low and there has been a buying spree by mainland Chinese.
However, most of the smart money is now on prices dropping. Prices could fall as much as 20 per cent over the next two years, according to Deutsche Bank, after lenders in March raised home-loan rates by 25 basis points in response to tighter risk rules.
Savills echoed the Deutsche prediction, saying property prices in Hong Kong may drop by up to 20 per cent across the board because of the latest anti-speculation measures taken by the government.
Since returning to China in 1997, Hong Kong's economy has become thickly entwined with the mainland, and it needs Chinese trade flows and tourists to keep it simmering. With the economy expected to weaken over the next couple of years north of the border, Hong Kong's growth could choke.
But the link to the United States economy via the currency board peg means that it will possibly have to deal with stronger growth there next year, and a probable rise in interest rates, while mainland China stutters.
"As we see China and Hong Kong growth slowing, and US growth on the way back up, Hong Kong has a problem. Interest rates rising in the US would come at exactly the wrong time for Hong Kong," says Freya Beamish, an economist at Lombard Street Research who covers China.
This scenario could play out negatively on the property market. With its robust links to the world's biggest and second-biggest economies, Hong Kong has been awash with liquidity. America's central bank slashed interest rates to counter the global downturn and began quantitative easing.
"At this stage, the Hong Kong dollar along with the RMB [China's currency] was still substantially undervalued against the US dollar. Having held on to the peg, even while China allowed some nominal appreciation, all of Hong Kong's currency adjustment had to take place through prices," says Ms Beamish.
So is it possible that US growth rising as Hong Kong and Chinese growth heads in the other direction could in fact help the Hong Kong economy because it means the bubble will burst, and the economy can be rebuilt from a firmer base?
"If they keep the peg in any case, we will see the same problem again. They seem addicted to the peg, the stability of it. A run-up in property prices is not my definition of stability," responds Ms Beamish.
Hong Kong's chief executive Leung Chun-ying has imposed extra property transactions taxes, raised mortgage down-payment requirements, and accelerated the pace of government land sales.
What is effectively a three-decade-old marriage is indeed hard to pull asunder, but calls for changes in Hong Kong's currency peg system are growing. Joseph Yam, who was chief executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (Hong Kong's central bank) until October 2009, last year made a high-profile call for the link to the dollar to be reviewed.
Mr Yam has suggested a shift to a peg against the yuan, a widening of the trading band versus the dollar and a "corridor" that would be periodically reviewed.

You're off to a good start. One thing that will help the figure drawings is to think of the figure as a whole, not in parts. Try to stop using such short quick lines and go for real smooth, flowing lines.

hey again
this time i spent most of my time reading one of andrew loomis' books and trying to apply his techniques, didnt really get the planes as u might notice, ah well, gotta practise more =)
anyway... heres 2 pages of my sketchbook today, mostly headstudies, i also tried ur suggestion kapil, on the bottom guy, i just made one long line for the arms and did the same for the legs, it turned out to be a pretty neat trick ^^
didnt rly spend too much time thinking about the faces or the anatomy on the posed dude. Also i went a little overboard with the concept when i was playing around with the brighten/contrast tool in ps, im considering it finished for now, but i still would like some crits on it so i can improve the next one, doesnt feel like i did the whole painting with an overlay layer right...
Hope to hear more useful crits =)

a friend of mine suggested i should make my paintings less cluttery (i tried to mimic some cool artists ive seen lately and ended up making everything fubar)
so i tried doing a portrait with strong colours (did this with a diffent tech as well, tried using colors from the start instead of doing greyscale first)

January 4th, 2009 #7

Ref used, its a friend of mine, didnt turn out all too much like her, but hey, im not picky =). uploading a lolversion i made as well, figured id do something cool with a few custombrushes and voila...mb i should start working on enviroments...bah another day!

browsed the forums, and came across the mentoring forum, and in there i saw one session in particular that i figured id try as well, so here we go, lesson one and two from http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=110528
January 7th, 2009 #11
ok, so i kept on doing some of the lessons i found over on the mentorforum (or whtever its called xD) feels rly good practising the basics, im not too sure i did this right, but hey, i hope i did... please feel free to give me some crits, i need to know if im doing something wrong (which i probably am... ) =)
the goal of these lessons was to get a better grip on specular shading, and shading in general really...felt alot more comfortable this time, i think i overused the selectiontools in these excercises -.- u live u learn right?
(for some reason photoshop freaked out on me and made the standard settings for a new document for grayscale 8 bits, it also made the popup list in the save as window about half as short, so i cant save as jpeg and i have to use save for web instead, anyone know why this is?)

Great Activity Table for Kids
Diane from West Chester, PA – Verified Buyer
I'm really happy with the quality of the table - it is definitely like what you see in a classroom as opposed to other kids tables & chair sets. The table shipped in 2 boxes (one for the table top and one for the legs) and arrived MUCH earlier than originally anticipated. My only issue was the assembly of the legs. The screws were very difficult to screw into the table top - I probably should have pre-drilled the holes more to make it easier. I was also surprised that you have to use screws to change the leg height (was thinking it was going to slide up or down with pegs that pop through holes for different heights) but I don't expect to have to change the height often so its not a big issue. Kids will have lots of fun doing crafts with the table!
Great Table. Just What I Wanted
Pamela from South Daytona, Florida – Verified Buyer
I used this for a dining table for two of us. It will seat 4 and has already. I contacted customer service to ask about the color and while they answered they didn't understand and I didn't get what I thought I ordered. My table is gray on the top with navychrome legs. I thought I was getting the royal blue top with chromegray legs. I kept it anyway as it works. It just wasn't as funky as I was looking to do. We love the table. We put it on the top holes so that we could use 24 stools and it is still very sturdy. Maybe we wouldn't if using it for a kid's table but it is adults only using this. I like the easy care and easy to clean aspect. I think it looks industrial and unexpected as a dining table. We use adjustable black leather stools with it and they work great!

Xconomy Xchange: Healthcare Gets Personal
Thursday, December 12, 2013 at 4:00 PM (EST)
Personal health and wellness is the latest technology craze. From wearable activity monitors to consumer health management to the "quantified self" movement, startups, big companies, and investors are all getting into the game. But there's something deeper going on: A convergence of access to our personal information on genomics and physiology with smarter software and analytics could help us live healthier, more productive lives—and quite possibly help us look and feel better, too.
Where are the real opportunities for innovation in the crowded healthtech sector? Which strategies around health tracking, wearables, mobile apps, fashion, and vanity are working, and not working? What are the trade-offs between consumer and enterprise approaches? Xconomy is convening top experts and innovators from New England and beyond for a half-day forum that will explore these questions—and much more. In an interactive program of talks, chats, and demos, these leaders will address what the next big health companies might look like, and how they will impact society.

HARDIN COUNTY – If, as a wild turkey flies, you were to trace a line from Woodford County, with its spiffy Reserve, through Anderson and Nelson counties – you'd give somebody a pretty good idea where bourbon comes from.
That line would stop at the Rolling Fork River, because Hardin County never has been home to a major distiller, bourbon historian Michael Veach said.
It's not that conditions are wrong. Water's pretty much the same. Limestone. Hot summers, cold winters.

Iran is one of the foremost enemies of the West and its ongoing nuclear program poses the most menacing and serious threat to the stability of the Middle East and the security of the world. In 2012, IAEA Director General Yukiya Amano announced that "what we know [about Iran's nuclear program] suggests the development of nuclear weapons."
The entire world seems to agree that Iran should not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons. Since the military option to deter Iran is a scenario that few want or believe can work, the principal tactic that has been adopted to prevent Iran from creating a bomb is sanctions. Imposed either unilaterally or multilaterally, sanctions are a peaceful and diplomatic avenue to make hardships for the regime - both economically and politically - to put them in a situation where a choice must be made between continuing the nuclear program or watching their country suffer. The sanctions regime has garnered international legitimacy since the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1737 in December 2006.
Since 2006, the United States and European Union have been the biggest supporters of sanctions against the Iranian regime and have passed numerous bills to impose ever harsher sanctions. Through their leadership, many international shipping agencies, traders, bankers and global insurance companies have pulled their dealings with Iran.
Unfortunately, though, these moves have so far done little to deter Iran from its nuclear ambitions. Already in December 2008, then-Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Hassan Qashqavi's said that "Iran will never suspend uranium enrichment," blatantly calling out the sanctions regime as either ineffectual or lacking teeth. In June 2013, newly-elected President Hassan Rouhani - who once led Iran's nuclear negotiating team to agree to a suspension of the program in 2003 - reiterated Qashqavi's sentiment when he said that the "era [of suspending enrichment] is behind us."
The efficacy of the Iran sanctions is already under seige. In testimony before a Senate intelligence committee in February 2012, CIA Director James Clapper said, "The sanctions as imposed so far have not caused [Iran] to change their behavior or their policy." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly said that sanctions have not done enough to affect a change in Iran's nuclear program and in August 2013 Iranian MP Avaz Heidarpour, a member of the parliament's National Security & Foreign Policy Commission, said that "sanctions have proven ineffective."
History also works against the success of the Iran sanctions. Simon Henderson, an expert on energy policy in the Middle East, noted, "Iran is unlikely to give up its nuclear program after seeing what happened to Qaddafi and Saddam Hussein, who were both driven from power, after acceding to international pressure to give up their nuclear ambitions."
The sanctions regime, as it has been constituted, has also been doomed for failure because it has yet to be implemented correctly and unwaveringly supported. The United States specifically has had many issues fully implementing sanctions against Iran and, to date, no U.S. Administration has fully implemented any of the sanctions against Iran in place since 1996.
Congress has passed a number of bills, and the White House numerous executive orders, regarding Iran sanctions - - in June 2010, November 2011, February 2012, July 2012, November 2012, January 2013 and June 2013 to name the most recent - but the efficacy of these bills have been severely weakened from loopholes or waivers allowing the U.S. to delay their implementation. President Obama's Executive Order 13590, for example, was delayed more than six months out of fear it would stimulate a rise in oil prices. Likewise, in March 2012 and again in June 2013, President Obama or the State Department granted exemptions to countries, including Japan and several European nations, to allow them to continue doing limited business with Iran.
European Union sanctions have similarly fallen on mostly deaf ears. The EU has at times been unable to completely restrain nations from dealing with Tehran and, more importantly, Iran has been one of Europe's major foreign oil exporters. This need for crude oil has allowed Iran the maneuverability to get around sanctions, as profit from sales lessens the financial impact of sanctions. In January 2012, the EU finally passed an "unprecendented" resolution to embargo all Iranian oil and, to support its implementation, Saudi Arabia promised to fulfill Europe's gas needs.
Also minimizing the impact of sanctions are UN member nations that originally supported Resolution 1737 in 2006 but continue to trade with Iran, proving to Iranian leaders that UN resolutions and international threats need not be taken seriously. Russia, China, Turkey and India, for example, have helped the Iranians steer clear of the negative consequences that sanctions place on its economy. In April 2012, Turkey and India announced that they are looking to lower their trade levels with Iran, however Russia and China both vigorously oppose sanctioning the regime. In 2012, Russia's Foreign Ministry said that sanctions are "deeply mistaken policy" and would be unlikely for Iran to "make any concessions or any corrections to its policies" because of sanctions.
Even with the looming threat of a nuclear Iran, China and other Asian countries continue to support Iran through increasing oil purchases. In August 2014 it was reported that Asian countries increased oil purchases from Iran by 29.4% in July 2014 compared to purchases in July 2013. China is the largest consumer of Iranian oil, with 80% of it's Iranian imports consisting of crude oil. Despite this fact, Iran's largest customers (China, India, Japan, and South Korea) purchased 1.029 million barrels per day of Iranian crude oil, the lowest total number in 7 months. July 2014 marked China's seventh straight month of increasing trade volume with Iran.
On November 23, 2013, the P5+1 and Iran reached a set of initial understandings that halts the progress of Iran's nuclear program and rolls it back in key respects. The agreement was hailed as only an interim deal, set for six months, that will give world powers extended time to work with the Islamic Republic on a permanent solution to the nuclear crisis. Under this deal, in return for cooperation during nuclear negotiations and nuclear power concessions, the P5+1 loosened multiple sanctions against Iran in pursuit of an agreement. The P5+1 pledged that the international community will not impose new nuclear-related sanctions on Iran for at least six months from the date of the agreement and will suspend certain sanctions on gold and precious metals, Iran's auto sector, and Iran's petrochemical exports among other things in return for halting Iran's production of enriched uranium. In addition to this loosening of sanctions, Iran was also promised the release of billions of dollars in international frozen assets. Due to this loosening of sanctions, during 2014 German exports to Iran skyrocketed 33% compared to falling export numbers in previous years. Germany is an important trading partner for Iran and this export increase is certainly welcome, especially in the wake of falling German exports to Russia thanks to the Ukraine crisis.
The last details of this temporary agreement, known as the Joint Plan of Action (or JPOA) were finalized by the P5+1 on January 12, 2014. Although this plan was originally rolled out in November of 2013, it was not ready to take effect or finalized until January 2014. Iran agreed to this temporary halt in uranium production in exchange for foreign aid from the West in the form of sanctions relief totalling $6-$7 billion. A deal was not reached by the agreed-upon deadline of July 20, 2014, and the nuclear negotiations were extended until November 24.
In late August 2014, it was reported that Iran had been undertaking "mechanical" tests on a new centrifuge system. Iran claims that both it's new and old centrifuges are not for nuclear weaponization purposes and that it is manufacturing new ones to replace it's old and accident-prone ones. These new advanced centrifuges could allow Iran to come up with a nuclear weapon at a much faster rate than before. The interim deal struck between Iran and the P5+1 in November 2013 states that Iran could not go beyond the current centrifuge research and development programs it had in place. In response to these actions taken by Iran, on August 29 President Barack Obama announced new sanctions directed against 25+ organizations, banks and individuals suspected of helping the Iranian government work towards acquiring nuclear weapons capabilities. US Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence David Cohen stated that the sanctions are directed against organizations and individuals that "are involved in expanding Iran's proliferation program, support terrorism in the region, and help Iran evade US and international sanctions". Some of the groups sanctioned by this action include: Asia Bank, Meraj Air, Caspian Air, Faylaca Petroleum, The Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research, Nuclear Science and Technology Research Institute, Mandegar Baspar Kimiya Co, and Jahan Tech Rooyan Pars. Individuals sanctioned by this action include: Sayyed Jabar Hosseini (a senior Iranian official who has supported terrorist activities), Abdelhak Kaddouri (the financial chief of the National Iranian Oil Co), Mohammad Javad, and Arman Imanirad.
On Thursday September 4 2014 Japan transferred $1 billion in frozen oil assets to Iran, the first and second installments of the $2.8 billion promised to Iran as a part of the interim deal with the P5+1. It is estimated that Iran has $100 billion in frozen funds abroad which it does not have open access to due to sanctions.
It was revealed late in the afternoon on the deadline of November 24 that the two parties still had significant differences to work out and that no comprehensive nuclear deal had been reached. After months of intense negotiations between Iran and world superpowers from the P5+1, the two groups could not come to an agreement by the deadline agreed to in July. The nuclear discussions were once again extended, this time for seven months. The negotiating teams hope to have a draft agreement by March 1, 2015, with a finalized agreement on the table ready to be accepted by all parties in July. Until a more comprehensive deal is reached, the conditions and stipulations of the current temporary deal remain in effect. Following the announcement of an extension of the negotiations, South Korea made a $500 million payment to Iran for crude oil imports. Under the interim agreement Iran is allowed to access $700 million per month in sanctions relief in the form of oil payments from their frozen international bank accounts.
In allegations that had been previously unreported, in December 2014 US officials accused Iran of breaching the nuclear sanctions placed on them by the United Nations by secretely seeking to acquire parts for a heavy water reactor that could be used in the production of nuclear weapons grade materials. US and international monitors observed "no recent downturn in [Iranian] procurement" activities according to a November 7 report made public in early December. The extension of the negotiations was good news for countries looking to do business with Iran, and they took advantage of the favorable diplomatic climate. These accusations were taken with a grain of salt by the international community, as news like this usually takes a very long time to be released so the accusations may predate the interim agreement, meaning that Iran did not violate the agreement at least in this way.
During US President Barack Obama's January 2015 State of the Union address, he warned the new Republican controlled legislature against levying new sanctions on Iran, lest they unravel the progress that has been made in the negotiations so far. The President told the legislators that "New sanctions passed by this Congress, at this moment in time, will all but guarantee that diplomacy fails—alienating America from its allies; and ensuring that Iran starts up its nuclear programme again." House Speaker John Boehner invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address Congress in January 2015, in hopes of swaying them away from voting in favor of a bad nuclear deal with Iran.
Democrats in Congress gave Obama and the negotiating teams substantial breathing room on January 27, when they announced that they would hold off on voting or moving any legislation forward that might tighten any penalties or sanctions against Iran until after March 24. Congressmen and government officials hope that this two month timeframe will be enough for the negotiating teams to come to a comprehensive and complete framework for ensuring Iran's nuclear program has only peaceful applications. Obama has stated that he will veto any sanctions bill that arrives on his desk while the negotiators are still attempting to reach a deal.
The US Senate Banking Committee approved the Nuclear Weapon Free Iran Act of 2015 on January 29, 2015, by an 18-4 vote. The bipartisan legislation was introduced by Senators Mark Kirk (R-IL) and Robert Menendez (D-NJ), and although it did not impose any new sanctions on Iran, it increased the pressure on the Iranian regime. The act set in stone that if there is no agreement reached by the June 30 deadline all of the sanctions that were waived with the acceptance of the interim agreement would be put back in place. In addition, the act imposes monthly escalating sanctions begining in August should the negotiating teams fail to reach an agreement. The bill provides for President Obama to be able to shoot down any sanctions activity, should he feel that it would interfere with reaching a comprehensive deal.
A framework for a nuclear agreement was reached between Iranian and P5+1 negotiators on April 2, 2015, aimed at curtailing Iran's nuclear ambitions while slowly and steadily decreasing sanctions pressure on the Iranians. The United States lobbied the international community in favor of the automatic reimposition of sanctions on Iran should they be found to be in violation of the framework agreement. Russian officials voiced their opposition to the automatic reimposition of international sanctions if Iran is caught cheating in regards to elements of the proposed nuclear deal. Russias Ambassador to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, bluntly stated that "there can be no automaticity, none whatsoever"(Bloomberg, May 13, 2015).

It looks like Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch learned his lesson after he avoided the media this season and ended up being fined $50,000 by the NFL.
According to ProFootballTalk.com, Lynch answered nine questions, but one of his answers was great.
"I don't run to get tackled," said Lynch per PFT.
I think it was once again obvious that Lynch doesn't want to get tackled. He continues to be a monster.
