What Manner of Man:
A Weekly Program to Better Know the Savior
Extra-Centeredness
By Linda and Richard Eyre
Note: Each week this column provides a short essay on one particular aspect or facet of the Lord's personality and character. It is intended that the reader focus on this facet while partaking of the sacrament this Sunday. (Click here to read full introductory column.)
To most of us, life is a series of mirrors wherein every situation, every person, is perceived in terms of self-interest: "How will that affect me?" "What can he do for me?"
The Master's life was a series of windows. He was totally "extra-centered" or "other-centered" instead of being self-centered. He came to teach us, to help us, to cure us, to love us, to save us. And he lost himself in those tasks. It was Emerson who said, "See how the masses of men worry themselves into nameless graves, while here and there a great, unselfish soul forgets himself into immortality." Certainly the Savior is the ultimate, literal example.
Jesus Christ not only died for us, he lived for us. Wanting only to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man, he had not the slightest personal ambition. He was uninterested in praise or publicity; except for the reward of our eternal happiness, he didn't care about reward.
Because of this, and because of who he was, the Savior saw into people – into their fears, their sins, their feelings, their potential. He saw behind the impetuousness into the strength of a Peter. He saw past the hated occupation into the loyalty of Matthew. He saw through the sins and weaknesses of all mankind into their eternal potential and into their sonship with God and their brotherhood with himself.
Knowing that Christ was perfect implies knowing that he was totally free from the sin of selfishness, a sin that holds or has held (at least partially) every other resident this earth has ever had. Selfishness is the dimming, darkening blanket flung softly and silently across our minds by Satan. Its forces of dark win many battles against the light brigades of charity and love. But though those forces win many battles they will lose the ultimate war because (in eternal time) "charity never faileth"; and the "extra-centeredness," the love, the windows shown us by Christ, will someday (a thousand-year day) transform this earth to a paradise, cresting on Christ's charity and submerging Satan's selfishness.
Not only did our Lord love all mankind, he loved each of mankind. He spoke in different ways and with different analogies, depending on the nature and understanding of his listeners. He viewed and judged and taught each man according to that person's unique situation. He praised the man who doubled two talents to four, and held him equal with the man who turned five into ten. He was as aware of the momentary opportunities to teach individuals as he was of his chances to speak to masses.
Men walk about in the world, their minds filled with "island thoughts" of themselves, of their territory. By comparison, Christ's thoughts were more like the sea – they surrounded and included the needs of all men, touching each, caring for each.
Never were the Savior's "windows" so powerfully obvious as when, in the very midst of Gethsemane's agony, he recognized as teaching moment with a disciple and gave what was needed – a lesson about willing spirit and weak flesh (see Mark 14:37-38). How could a man, bent under the assumption of mankind's sins, still think at that moment of an individual's needs? How, indeed! How could any man?
The final-line message of the Master's extra-centeredness is the sure feeling that if there had been only one person to save on this earth, only me or only you, Jesus Christ would still have made his great sacrifice for me or for you.
We look forward to next week's column, where we will ponder
the gentleness, patience and forgiveness of our Lord.

Equities and Multi-Asset Strategies
Perspective on global equity markets through a behavioral finance lens
Piecing together the home bias puzzle
From a behavioral finance perspective, the home bias represents a preference for domestic investments.
Focusing too heavily on domestic equities may cause your clients to miss out on the wealth of overseas stock market opportunities.
Older generations are more likely to be affected by the home bias than younger generations.
When planning asset allocations for 2020 with your clients, consider exploring the wealth of low-cost international investment opportunities.
With the U.S. bull market charging past one obstacle after another over the past 10 years, your clients may be expressing a desire to invest primarily in domestic equities. This approach may even seem entirely sensible on the surface. After all, why face the economic, political, and currency-related risks of investing internationally when U.S. stocks seem to keep posting one record high after another, in spite of short-term knockdowns. Isn't information on companies near home far more transparent and reliable? Why should a client ever invest overseas?
The home bias is a global phenomenon
At one time or another, your clients may have expressed comments similar to those just mentioned, reflecting our innate predisposition toward the comfortable and familiar. Your clients aren't alone, either. This same preference has been demonstrated around the world: investors in Australia, Europe, Japan, the U.K., and many other countries have historically shown a similar predisposition toward investing in domestic-based opportunities. In behavioral finance terms, this tendency is known as "the home bias." We focus on this bias and its effects in this edition of our recurring behavioral finance insights series, which we created to give advisors a practical tool that translates behavioral finance theory into actionable practice.
Addressing transitory and structural concerns
A variety of transitory concerns may be convincing your clients to focus on domestic equities. Advisors have told us that their clients worry about: (1) slowing global growth; (2) the trade war between the U.S. and China; (3) political uncertainty in Italy; (4) the ongoing fallout from Brexit; and (5) escalated Middle East tensions. Although such concerns always merit thoughtful discussion, we believe that a sound portfolio construction framework is one that can weather current events over multiple market cycles. We think this approach better empowers investors to ignore the inevitable ebb and flow of media headlines surrounding the latest hot topic and instead focus on their long-term financial goals.
Structural concerns may also be deflating your clients' interest in overseas investments. For example, corporate governance may be a dissuading factor, coinciding with a tendency for an investor to perceive that financial oversight in their home country is more robust than overseas. Uncertainty regarding transaction costs and liquidity are other potential concerns. However, these roadblocks are far less menacing today than they were a decade ago. Thanks in part to the rapid expansion of passive investing, many markets that were previously unreachable are not only available now, but the reliability and transparency of holdings-related information have also improved, supporting potential liquidity in the process. The drive toward low costs is another plus for investors.
Nearly half of the global market
The sheer size of the international equity market is another reason why it merits consideration. The pie chart on the left below demonstrates this point, showing that although U.S. equities comprised 54% of the MSCI AC World Index as of December 31, 2018, the remaining 46% represented European, Japanese, United Kingdom, emerging market, and other countries' equities. Using this data as a proxy, a client's choice to ignore international markets translates into an active decision to ignore almost half of the available universe of stock market opportunities. In addition, data from Cerulli Associates in partnership with the Investments & Wealth Institute and the Financial Planning Association revealed that the home bias is firmly entrenched among financial advisors, with U.S. allocations representing 70% of their assets, developed international allocations representing 22%, and emerging markets representing 8% (see the chart at bottom right).

The ebb and flow of market leadership
U.S. equities have been one of the world's bright spots since the markets began to recover from the Great Recession (the longest recession since World War II), but how long will that outperformance last? When taking a long-term view, U.S. market leadership has waxed and waned over time. The chart below illustrates this point, revealing that the outperformance of the S&P 500® Index compared with the MSCI EAFE® Index since approximately September 2009 was preceded by a period of underperformance by U.S. stocks from approximately late 2003 to late 2008. Although past performance doesn't guarantee future results, in this instance, it does illustrate the potential importance of investing overseas.

Older generations stay too close to home
When speaking with your clients about international opportunities, keep in mind that older generations are particularly at risk from the home bias. Data from Investments & Wealth Institute suggested that 63% of Baby Boomers (1946–1964) demonstrated a home bias within their portfolios. This bias was even more prevalent among The Silent Generation (1928–1945), 85% of whom appear to be affected by the home bias. These generations grew up during times when investing overseas was far from the comparatively transparent experience available today amid a broad array of international investment opportunities. Explaining the present-day realities to your Boomer and Silent Generation clients could potentially deepen the level of trust that you enjoy. The following chart illustrates how the home bias differs by generation.
Sources: Charles Schwab Investment Management; Investments & Wealth Institute (IWI), 2019.
Younger generations embrace international investing
Generation-X (1965–1980) and Millennials (1981–1996) appear far less susceptible to the home bias than Boomers or Silents. By the very nature of their day-to-day interactions—which often range far and wide—these generations tend to be more receptive to international investment opportunities, with only 14% of each of these generations showing signs of being affected by the home bias. This represents a meaningful opportunity for advisors to discuss international diversification with their younger-generation clients.
As 2019 starts winding down, intermittent market volatility seems likely to persist amid ongoing trade tensions between the U.S. and China, which have been a significant catalyst for market movements. Central banks (including the U.S. Federal Reserve) around the world easing monetary policies to combat decelerating global growth, and political uncertainty in the U.K. related to Brexit also represent challenges and may also play a role in the market's near-term performance. In addition, don't forget the 2020 U.S. presidential election, which could significantly influence where the markets finish next year.
With this backdrop in mind, now seems like an excellent time to emphasize quality stocks and carefully monitor shifts in economic growth domestically and internationally. Re-evaluating your clients' relative portfolio risks may also be worth considering, as the most optimistic scenarios regarding several of the previously mentioned challenges seem to be priced into the markets. We expect to lean toward higher-quality growth companies in cyclical sectors like technology, consumer discretionary, and industrials if these conditions persist, while potentially looking to trim exposures to momentum-based strategies, and wouldn't be surprised to see stocks of firms in the financials, energy, and health care sectors underperform over the near-term.
From a behavioral finance standpoint, we suggest examining your clients' portfolios with a careful eye toward whether the home bias has slanted their asset allocations too heavily toward domestic securities. Also, remember that when you discuss international opportunities with clients, younger generations are likely to be far more receptive to such conversations than older generations. Silents and Baby Boomers in particular might appreciate and benefit from an enhanced understanding of how international investment opportunities have evolved, particularly over the past decade.

The Respondent submitted his Response to the WIPO Center on May 18, 2001 and was acknowledged by the Center as having received it on May 21, 2001.
3.10 The single Panel member, Cecil O.D. Branson, Q.C. submitted a Statement of Acceptance and Declaration of Impartiality and Independence on May 29, 2001, and was duly appointed on June 5, 2001 in accordance with paragraph 15 of the Rules. The Panel was required to forward its decision to the Center by June 18, 2001.
3.11 The Panel finds that it was properly constituted and appointed in accordance with the Uniform Rules and WIPO's Supplemental Rules.
4.1 Complainant has applied for United States federal registration of the trademark FORMULATIONWORKSTATION THE WORKFLOW SOFTWARE FOR FORMULATORS, in respect of "computer software for developing, managing and optimizing new product formulations, used by formulation scientists to create product blends consisting of one or more ingredients." The application for federal registration of this mark was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on June 17, 1999, and accorded Serial No. 75/732,660. The application claims use of the mark since April 2, 1995.
4.2 Respondent conceived and developed a product during a period from 1983 – 1993 and coined the term FORMULATION WORKSTATION in 1994 and began selling products bearing the trademark in 1995. In early 1995, prior to the sale of any products, Respondent sent beta versions of the FORMULATION WORKSTATION product to clients and conducted on site presentations concerning the same. It filed a federal trademark application in July 1999.
4.3 The <formulationworkstation.com> domain name was registered on September 17, 1999.
5.1 Complainant contends that the domain name registered by Respondent is identical to the dominant literal portion of Complainant's trademark, namely, FORMULATION WORKSTATION.
5.2 Complainant contends that Respondent is without legitimate rights in the <formulationworkstation.com> domain name because Respondent is not legitimately using the domain name in connection with a bona fide offering of goods and services, is not commonly known by the domain name, either as a business, individual or other organization, is not making a legitimate noncommercial or fair use of the domain name, and Respondent has actual knowledge that the FORMULATION WORKSTATION trademark belongs to Complainant and was used by Complainant in commerce in the United States since a time prior to Respondent's registration of the domain name.
5.3 Complainant contends that Respondent registered the <formulationworkstation.com> domain name in bad faith because it is well aware of ownership of the FORMULATION WORKSTATION trademark by Complainant, due to business dealings between the parties commencing during the first quarter of 1994 in which Complainant's FORMULATION WORKSTATION mark was specifically involved, and that the Respondent was well aware of Complainant's rights in the FORMULATION WORKSTATION mark when it registered the domain name on September 17, 1999. Further, Complainant contends that the domain name was registered primarily for the purpose of disrupting Complainant's business, which business is considered to be in competition with Respondent's business, and that Respondent is using the domain name in an intentional attempt to attract, for financial gain, Internet users to the registrant's web site or other on-line location, thereby creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant's mark as to the source, sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement of the registrant's web site or location or of a product or service on the registrant's web site or location.
Respondent denies that Complainant owns the trademark FORMULATION WORKSTATION, while admitting that an application for federal registration of the designation FORMULATION WORKSTATION THE WORKFLOW SOFTWARE FOR FORMULATORS was filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office on June 17, 1999 and accorded Serial No. 75/732660. Respondent admits that the goods listed in the application are: computer software for developing, managing and optimizing new product formulations, used by formulation scientists to create product blends consisting of one or more ingredients. Respondent, further, admits that the application claims a date of first use of April 2, 1995, but Respondent disputes that Complainant has valid rights in the FORMULATION WORKSTATION trademark. Respondent says it, not Complainant, owns the FORMULATION WORKSTATION trademark.
C. No Other Submissions
The Panel has not received any other requests from Complainant or Respondent regarding further submissions, beyond the Complaint, waivers or extensions of deadlines, and the Panel has not found it necessary to request any further information from the Parties.
6.1 The Complaint was submitted on the basis of the provisions of a Registration Agreement in effect between the Respondent and Network Solutions which incorporates by reference, the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Policy") in effect at the time of the dispute. The Policy requires that domain name registrants such as Respondent agree in writing to submit to a mandatory administrative proceeding regarding third-party allegations or abuse of domain name registration (Policy, para. 4(a)). No registration is approved in the absence of such a written submission.
6.2 Such administrative proceedings are conducted by ICANN-approved dispute resolution service providers such as WIPO. The Policy provides an administrative means for resolving disputes concerning allegations of abuse of domain name registration, subject to referral of the dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction for independent resolution (Policy, paragraph 4(a)).
6.3 The Policy, and the Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (the "Rules"), establish a procedure intended to assure that respondents are given adequate notice of proceedings commenced against them, and a reasonable opportunity to respond (See e.g. paragraph 2(a), Rules).
6.4 This Panel agrees with and adopts the following statement made by an earlier, distinguished, Panel:
"At the outset, it must be noted that the Panel does not have jurisdiction to decide claims of trademark infringement, dilution, unfair competition or other statutory or common law causes of action. Thus most of the legal authorities cited by the parties are not strictly applicable. Further, such causes of action require extensive factual development and analysis which these domain name administrative proceedings are not designed to accommodate. " Bridgestone Firestone, Inc., Bridgestone/Firestone Research, Inc., and Bridgestone Corporation v. Jack Myers, WIPO Case No. D2000-0190
6.5 The appropriate standard for fact-finding is the civil standard of a preponderance of the evidence. This requires that a fact is proved for the purpose of reaching a decision when it appears more likely than not to be true based on the evidence. See Madonna Ciccone, p/k/a Madonna v. Dan Parisi and 'Madonna.com' WIPO Case No. D2000-0847; Newman/Haas Racing v. Virtual Agents, Inc., WIPO Case No. D2000-1688
6.6 While the Panel agrees that in this matter United States law is applicable as both the Complainant and the Respondent are situated in the United States, it is not exclusive and there are essential differences between trademarks and domain names that must be borne in mind. There can be more than one registrant of the same trademark and its effect may be limited by the category of goods to which it relates, and the geographic boundaries of its territorial protection. There are no such limitations with domain names. Due to the latter's technological limitations and boundless use, only one entity can be registered as a domain throughout the world. Thus, there is ample justification for different legal principles to apply to the Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy, its Rules, and the interpretation given to these by Administrative Panels operating thereunder. It is these Rules and the Policy with which all applicants for the registration of domain names agree to be bound.
6.7 The universal nature of the Internet and its global impact from a legal perspective are too recent to accommodate harmonization, much less unification, of laws through treaties, model laws and the like. Unfortunately, there will always be some who seek to take unfair advantage of that which is difficult to regulate. It may well be that, in the future, some better mechanism may be agreed between sovereign powers to regulate the issuance and use of domain names. In the meantime, the Policy and Rules are the best we have. In any event, no one is precluded from seeking remedies available from national courts.
In order to obtain the relief requested under the Policy, Complainant must prove in the administrative proceeding that each of the three elements of paragraph 4(a) are present:
The domain name registered by Respondent is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which Complainant has rights.
6.8 The Respondent in this case asserts ownership of valid rights in the FORMULATION WORKSTATION trademark and that it, the Respondent, marketed products with which that name was associated. These products consisted of proprietary software created by Respondent. Product literature distributed by Complainant contained the notation "Formulation Workstation is a trademark of Hart Info Systems." This Panel finds this evidence has been proved as a fact. Further, the Respondent says that Complainant was merely a dealer for Respondent, and as such Complainant did not acquire any rights in the FORMULATION WORKSTATION trademark, whereas the Complainant is more vague, asserting only that there were "business dealings" between it and the Respondent. This is consistent with what the Respondent says. This Panel accepts Respondent's clarification of the relationship.
6.9 An examination of Complainant's trademark application Serial No. 75/732,660 reveals that Complainant has disclaimed the terms FORMULATION WORKSTATION and the term THE WORKFLOW SOFTWARE FOR FORMULATORS. The disclaimer reads, "No claim is made as to the exclusive right to use 'FORMULATION WORKSTATION' . . . apart from the mark as shown." Furthermore, the file history of the application reveals that it was required to disclaim the term FORMULATION WORKSTATION on the basis that it was descriptive. The Examining Attorney wrote, "The word FORMULATION is descriptive for applicant's goods, namely, formulation software. The word WORKSTATION is descriptive of software because it is an area including a computer or computer terminal in which software is used."
6.10 It is difficult to imagine how Complainant can claim exclusive rights in the <formulationworkstation.com> Domain Name when it expressly released exclusive rights in those terms in its communications with the Patent and Trademark Office. In any event, any rights Complainant may have in the mark are weak as it is a common, descriptive term. See, Eauto, L.L.C. v. Eauto Parts, WIPO Case No. D2000-0096
6.11 This Panel finds that in this proceeding the Complainant has not proved to the degree necessary that the domain name registered by Respondent is identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which Complainant has rights, whereas the Respondent has proved that it has such rights.
Respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name.
6.12 This Panel confirms its finding above, and for the reasons there given, that the Respondent has rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name. Therefore, this element has not been proved by the Complainant.
The domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
6.13 In light of the findings made in relation to elements numbered (i) and (ii) of the Domain Name Policy above, this Panel is compelled to reject the allegation made that the Domain Name in question has been registered and is being used in bad faith.
Reverse Domain Name Hijacking
7.1 The Rules for Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy provide in para.15(e) that if after considering the submissions the Panel finds that the complaint was brought in bad faith, for example in an attempt at Reverse Domain Name Hijacking or was brought primarily to harass the domain-name holder, the Panel shall declare in its decision that the complaint was brought in bad faith and constitutes an abuse of the administrative proceeding.
7.2 The Respondent in this case backed up all material assertions in regard to his claim to have rights or legitimate interests in respect of the Domain Name in question by documentary evidence, all of which must surely have been known to the Complainant, or at least available to it. Little if any of it was dealt with in the Complaint, although its materiality must have been apparent. Nor, did the Complainant seek leave to file further material in reply to the Respondent's assertions.
7.3 This Panel declares that the Complaint was brought in bad faith and constitutes an abuse of the Administrative Proceeding.
For the reasons given above, this Panel finds that
(i) the Domain Name <formulationworkstation.com> is not identical or confusingly similar to a trademark or service mark in which the Complainant has rights;

This morning when I opened my back door to let my dog outside, I felt it immediately. The season is changing. While the afternoons are still plenty hot, the mornings are shifting to Fall like weather. The feel, the smell…..I love nothing more than breathing in that Fall air. I've always said that it's a feeling I cannot quite describe but you just know when it has arrived.
I must say, I welcome the change. While I will pick hot weather over cold ANY day, I love the in between days the most. Short sleeves during the day with a sweater at night. Enjoying a hot cup of morning coffee on the patio while chill bumps are on your skin. Being wrapped in cozy blanket at a football game, hot cocoa in hand. Frye boots and skinny jeans. Pumpkin……..everything!
The weather isn't the only change I am writing about today.
Over the Summer, Lance and I talked a lot about putting our house up for sale. While we love the town we are living in and have really enjoyed our house, we were getting the itch for something bigger. Not a bigger house mind you, but a bigger LOT! A place where the kids can run and jump and play without being too loud for the neighbors. A place where we don't have to yell at cars to slow down while the kids are riding their bikes out front.
After finding a neighborhood that we adored we decided to go for it. We put our house on the market and after 26 days, it sold. I'm not sure if that sounds quick or not, but at the time, it seemed like forever! Until it was time to start packing that is.
Currently, we are in the midst of purging and packing and goodness, that is no fun at all. As a matter of fact, when we moved to this house 4.5 years ago, I'm pretty sure I said I would never do it again. Famous last words, right?! This time I mean it though. After this move, we are not doing it for at least 10 years…..or if all goes as planned, ever!
It might not be so bad except due to the fact that we are building a new home, this move has to be done twice. Groaaaaan. We will be doing it up #townhouse style for about six months while our new home is being built. Putting 2500 sq ft and five people into an 1100 sq ft townhouse in going to make for some interesting logistics. Granted, half of our stuff will be in a storage facility but still…….
As much as I dread the move, I have to say I am actually looking forward to simplifying our lives for six months or so. A smaller, cozier place means less to clean and more time spent doing the things I love. More walks, more talks, more time to soak in the great season of Fall! It will also be a good test in all of our sanity, I'm sure.
Who knows, I may not even want the new house after seeing how appealing the simple life can be. One week and counting.

"Fast forward many years and many jobs in the industry (wineries, liquor reps, bartender) My husband and I took a trip to Chicago and fell in love with a tiny champagne bar and wanted to bring that concept back to Ottawa. When we started looking for locations we realized we would have to basically open a restaurant and that isn't something that we wanted. We really just wanted to open a tiny tasting bar. Not seeing a location that would suit our needs, we decided to take it mobile! "

"Every part of making the chalkboards, I have learned from my dad. He'd be the last person to take any credit, but Chalkboard Chique only exists because of what he has taught me and his continued support. When I had first told my dad about the DIY chalkboard plans for my wedding, it was the perfect opportunity for us to have a project to work on together. Every weekend, I'd drive out to his home in Rockland and take over his garage/workshop."

" I was born and raised in France, a little South of Paris. I studied photograph conservation in Paris at the Institut national du patrimoine and first came to Ottawa in 2015 when I interned at the National Gallery of Canada. As a rule of thumb, the more the photographis damaged, the happier I am because it means a challenging treatment! You never stop learning in conservation. There will always be a situation I have never encountered. That being said, French photographer Brassaï once took a picture of my great grandmother. I would love to work on this photograph . "

"The moment came from a personal experience that most people can relate to. Elias was at a restaurant with a group of people, they finished their meal and had to head out for an event. It was a busy night and the waiter was doing their best yet the bill hadn't yet arrived. At the same time a long lineup was at the door waiting for the table to be released. It was a the frustrating thought of "the experience was amazing up until this point; why can't I just pay and leave". That was the moment."

Abstract: Iran provides Lebanese Hezbollah with some $700 million a year, according to U.S. government officials. Beyond that cash infusion, Tehran has helped Hezbollah build an arsenal of some 150,000 rockets and missiles in Lebanon. And yet, Hezbollah also leverages an international network of companies and brokers—some Hezbollah operatives themselves, others well-placed criminal facilitators willing to partner with Hezbollah—to procure weapons, dual-use items, and other equipment for the benefit of the group's operatives and, sometimes, Iran. In the context of the war in Syria, Hezbollah's procurement agents have teamed up with Iran's Quds Force to develop integrated and efficient weapons procurement and logistics pipelines that can be leveraged to greatly expand Hezbollah's weapons procurement capabilities.
Based in Damascus, Qasir and other senior Hezbollah officials work closely with officers from Quds Force's Unit 190—which specializes in smuggling weapons to Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, and Gaza—under the supervision of Qassem Soleimani.5 This smuggling operation is significant in its own right, but it could also be used to assist Hezbollah's own longstanding procurement efforts around the world, which are often intimately intertwined with the group's transnational organized criminal networks raising funds through criminal enterprises.
The weapons connection likely raised some eyebrows among analysts and investigators, given the very high levels of state sponsorship and support Iran provides to Hezbollah. But despite that support, Hezbollah, as also detailed in this article, has an established track record of procuring and smuggling weapons through its own channels, parallel to the weapons regularly funneled to the group by Iran. Hezbollah weapons procurement agents oversee this program, though they often rely on criminal facilitators—weapons dealers, smugglers, money launderers, and more—who are uniquely situated to provide the kinds of services necessary to purchase weapons on the black market and deliver them to Hezbollah in Lebanon. These relationships often first develop through criminal financial and money-laundering schemes that broaden out over time to include weapons deals. And then there are other types of procurement activities focused not on weapons themselves but on dual-use items with military applications like computer programs, laser range finders, night-vision goggles, and more.
This article details how now, in the context of the war in Syria, some of Hezbollah's most significant procurement agents—such as Muhammad Qasir—have teamed up with Iran's Quds Force to develop integrated and efficient weapons procurement and logistics pipelines through Syria and into Lebanon that can be leveraged to greatly expand Hezbollah's international weapons procurement capabilities. The Syrian war elevated the importance of such efforts, which quickly increased in scale and scope. As Assad gains control over more of Syria, Hezbollah and the Quds Force will be well placed to leverage their position in Syria along with their newly refined procurement and smuggling pipelines through various channels to secure and send weapons and sensitive technologies back to Hezbollah in Lebanon.
Operation Phone Flash Exposes Hezbollah's Procurement, Inc.
Replacing spent ammunition and rusted weapons at the scale needed after the 2006 war demanded an organized procurement channel run by Hezbollah weapons procurement agents around the world. Hezbollah procurement agent Dani Tarraf is a case in point. In 2006, agents with the Philadelphia Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF) opened several parallel investigations into Hezbollah criminal activities in suburban Philadelphia, which together became known as Operation Phone Flash.
And yet, a series of U.S.-led international investigations would soon reveal that Hezbollah's independent weapons procurement program continued unabated.
A particularly important arrest came in April 2014, when Czech authorities arrested alleged weapons dealer Ali Fayad acting on a U.S. arrest warrant. An alleged Lebanese-Ukrainian arms dealer with reportedly close ties to Hezbollah and Russia President Vladimir Putin, as well as Syria, Iran, and Latin American drug cartels, Fayad was the target of an elaborate sting operation.44 Hezbollah kidnapped several Czech citizens in Lebanon to secure Fayad's release, and Putin put significant pressure on the Czech government as well, leading to his release and return to Lebanon in January 2016.45 The lengths to which Hezbollah went to secure his release indicated the importance it attached to him and his alleged procurement activities.
In other words, Hezbollah procurement networks had matured to the point that Iran was seeking to leverage its ability to gain access to weapons and sanctioned goods for Iran's own direct needs. In turn, Iran also took the opportunity to use Hezbollah networks to benefit some of its other proxies as well, including Houthi rebels in Yemen.
Given Shalan's alleged background, it should not surprise that he is reported to be a close associate of Mohammad Qasir,63 the head of Hezbollah's Unit 108 who served as a notetaker during President Assad's meeting with Iran's President and Supreme Leader.
A screen capture from a video by Iran's Press TV showing Mohammad Qasir (seated behind President Assad) attending February 25, 2019, meeting between Syrian President Bashar al-Assad (left) and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani (right) in Tehran, Iran.
Iran has used civilian airlines such as Mahan Air to transport weapons and personnel for Hezbollah, the Syrian regime, and other armed groups,70 and has helped Hezbollah build a sophisticated smuggling network to move these weapons from Syria to the Lebanese border and then to Hezbollah strongholds in Lebanon.71 These networks are also available to move weapons procured by Hezbollah's own procurement efforts, such as those allegedly overseen by Abd al Nur Shalan and others.
Screen captures from a video posted via Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's official Twitter account showing Mohammad Qasir attending February 25, 2019, meetings between Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei (top image) and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani (bottom image) in Tehran, Iran. In first image, Qasir is seated in the far left foreground; in second image, he is seated behind President Assad with Qassem Soleimani also pictured (far left).
As documented here, these include alleged formal Hezbollah procurement agents (Laqis, Dbouk, Amhaz, Cherri, Zeaiter, Serhan, Shalan) as well as alleged criminal and alleged illicit financial networks that are well positioned to expand into procurement activities due to their criminal contacts (Kobeissi, Asmar, Hejejj). They leverage alleged front companies (Stars Holdings, Vatech SARL85) and provide transshipment and smuggling services as well, whether for materiel Hezbollah procured on its own or received from Iran.
Analysts in and out of government debate why Hezbollah exposes itself to additional law enforcement scrutiny by carrying out procurement efforts of its own when it receives such general support—funds and weapons both—from Iran. Some alleged procurement efforts clearly grew out of alleged illicit financial schemes and were allegedly pursued simply because the opportunity presented itself (Operation Phone Flash, Kobeissi, Asmar), but allegedly others were pursued by Hezbollah proactively (Dbouk, Amhaz, Shalan). One reason for the latter appears to be Hezbollah's search for sensitive technologies even more than small arms—according to the U.S. Treasury Department, Hezbollah-affiliated networks specifically "seek to procure sensitive or controlled goods from the United States."86 Another reason Hezbollah carries out its own procurement efforts may be a demand among Hezbollah's fighters for original Western-manufactured weapons rather than the Chinese or other knock-offs often provided by Iran. And then there are special circumstances, like the Syrian war, when the demand for weapons and ammunition is so immediate that efforts to procure materiel—both independently and through Iran—are dramatically increased.

It was her first birthday since the marital break-up, but Miranda Lambert wasn't crying in her cups over losing Blake Shelton to Gwen Stefani.
The country singer celebrated her 32nd year and her new independence by getting what looked like a faux tattoo placed on the inside of her forearm.
Miranda's choice design was a white unicorn with pretty mane and boasting wreaths and other festive greenery around its neck and above the hooves.
The unicorn was placed slightly below Miranda's other more permanent tattoo of a cross and pink heart.
'The morning after...,' Miranda wrote in the caption of a photo that showed her arm resting on blankets.
Actually it was a stout black and white white horse wearing a uniforn headdress and colourful mane extensions in blue, pink and green.
Miranda has a fascination with the mythical creatures known for having a large pointed horn projecting from their foreheads.
In many stories of Greek mythology, a unicorn possesses a wild, pure and graceful beauty.

Trump/Pompeo Mission Against Iran Regime Working
July 29, 2018, 7:16 pm by Denise Simon Leave a Comment
Iran's currency hit a new record low on Sunday, dropping past 100,000 rials to the U.S. dollar as Iranians brace for Aug. 7 when Washington is due to reimpose a first lot of economic sanctions.
The rial has lost about half of its value since April because of a weak economy, financial difficulties at local banks and heavy demand for dollars among Iranians who fear the effects of sanctions.
The central bank blamed "enemies" for the fall of the currency and a rapid rise in the prices of gold coins and the judiciary said 29 people had been arrested on charges that carry the death penalty.
On Aug. 7, Washington will reimpose sanctions on Iran's purchase of U.S. dollars, its trade in gold and precious metals and its dealings with metals, coal and industrial-related software.
Sanctions also will be reapplied to U.S. imports of Iranian carpets and foodstuffs and on certain related financial transactions.
Iran's oil exports could fall by as much as two-thirds by this year due to sanctions, straining oil markets amid supply outages elsewhere.
As it stands at the moment, it is still possible to characterize the damage done to a Saudi oil tanker in the Red Sea by a Houthi missile as a continuation of the occasional Houthi attacks on Saudi coalition vessels.
That may be a reason why the latest attack, which occurred on Wednesday 25 July, has gotten little coverage in Western media.
But the sequence of events on Wednesday and Thursday suggests it's more than that. The morning of 25 July, Houthi sources reportedly took credit for targeting a Saudi vessel in the Red Sea. Regional reporting suggested their intended target was Saudi frigate Al-Dammam (F-816).
*** Additional reports of regime changes:
The change in the Rouhani administration awaited by both critics and supporters appears to have started on July 25 with the replacement of Iran's central bank governor and news of the Planning and Budget Organization (PBO) chief's offer to resign.
This comes as Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri has said economic hardship could prompt the government to resort to food rationing.
Abdolnasser Hemmati was appointed central bank governor, and PBO Chief and Administration spokesman Mohammad Baqer Nobakht told the press he has offered to step down in order to give President Hassan Rouhani a free hand in reshuffling his economic team.
Nobakht added that Rouhani had still not accepted his resignation as of Wednesday afternoon, ISNA reported. Rouhani's chief of staff also told reporters in Tehran, "What the media quoted Nobakht as saying is not true."
Iranian media had reported that Rouhani had offered Nobakht's job to former Economy Minister Ali Tayebnia but that he rejected the offer.
ISNA noted that the fact that the first change in the administration took at the central bank reveals Rouhani's priorities in tackling the country's economic crisis.
Reports from Tehran say that changes are also under way at the industry, economy, and housing ministries.
*** A lot of help for the Iranian people coming from the United States. In part:
Pompeo said, "You should know that the United States is not afraid to spread our message on the airwaves and online in Iran, either. For 40 years, the Iranian people have heard from their leaders that America is the Great Satan, we do not believe they're interested in hearing the fake news any longer."
Mr Pompeo stopped short of calling for regime change, but he announced stepped-up US government broadcasting in Farsi that is likely to foment further unrest against the government.
He said the US Broadcasting Board of Governors is taking steps to circumvent internet censorship in Iran, and creating a round-the-clock Farsi channel across television, radio, digital and social media formats, "so that ordinary Iranians inside Iran and around the globe will know that America stands with them".
Mr Pompeo said the Trump administration would be willing to hold talks with the Iranian government if it stops repressing dissidents and religious minorities and stops supporting militant groups in conflicts elsewhere in the region. But the one sentence offer in a long speech suggests that Mr Pompeo deems any behaviour change by Iran unlikely.
Many of the Iranian Americans in the audience either fled or are descendants of those who fled the country after the Islamic Revolution toppled the Shah in 1979. Southern California is home to about 250,000 Iranian Americans.
"To our Iranian American and Iranian friends," Mr Pompeo said, "tonight I tell you that the Trump administration dreams the same dreams for the people of Iran as you do, and through our labours and God's providence, that day will come true." More here.

IBEW Local 611 has been "Servicing the Land of Enchantment" for 100 years since being chartered by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers on February 17, 1914. Local 611 celebrated its 100th anniversary with an event on February 17, 2014, which included a full history program book created by Union Histories that was distributed to all attendees.
"Thanks for the book, it really looks wonderful. I feel so good about the history and even more proud of the local union I belong to. The book is truly wonderful; I didn't realize I had gathered so much history -- and of course Union Histories adding more made the book the best I have ever seen. Again, thanks; it was nice working with you!"

With 14 matches this year, it's one of the biggest programs WWE has ever put on for Wrestlemania.
Dozens of wrestlers will compete at Wrestlemania this weekend, but the city of New Orleans is the real winner.
Wrestlemania generated a record $142 million for New Orleans back in 2014 when the city first hosted the event. Since then other cities like Orlando have raked in $181 million, which was just last year.
Step into Wrestlemania Axxess, the fan fest that's held before the main event and it's clear, fans are excited and they're ready to have fun. And, they're willing to drop thousands of dollars to take part in Wrestlemania 34 this weekend in the Crescent City.
"Close to $4,000," one wresting fan said.
"Close to $2,000," a third said.
Over 75,000 fans are expected to attend the main event at the Superdome, and around 30,000 at Wrestlemania Axxess at the Ernest Morial Convention Center.
"It's a soap opera, it's a rock concert, it's a sporting event," said Al Snow.
Snow is a former WWF Wrestler and now runs his own wrestling academy, meaning he helps coach aspiring superstars.
"It's not a character, you're not portraying someone else, you're simply taking an aspect of your personality and turning the volume way up," Snow said.
"I am wearing a Ronda Rousey t-shirt so I'm really excited to see her," said Bambi Weavil.
"Sasha Banks is my girl," Alvin Cormier.
And judging by fan reaction, this could be one of the city's biggest event yet.
