Caleb Simpson posted the video to his account @calebwsimpson, where it was viewed more than 30 million times as viewers got a look inside Alaina Randazzo’s $650 per month apartment located in midtown Manhattan. “Today we tour the smallest apartment in New York City at 80 square ft., which is the size of a parking spot,” read the caption on Simpson’s YouTube video, which is an extended version of the tour....
I saw many relationships between Marines and their significant others fail in dramatic ways. One Marine was told by his fiancée at our welcome home ceremony from Iraq that she’d been cheating on him the entire time he was deployed. The wedding was off. Jim and his wife, Erica, college sweethearts, were among those couples that made it. They remained together throughout Jim’s two reserve mobilizations, and were married in 2006....
NEWSWEEK: Do you think Chinese officials still hope their problems in Tibet will disappear after you pass away? The Dalai Lama: I don’t know. I totally disagree with the view that the Tibet struggle will die, and there will be no hope for Tibet, after the Dalai Lama passes away. Both inside and outside [Tibet], the older generation may go away, but the newer generations carry the same spirit. Sometimes it’s even stronger....
Yavapai County Sheriff David Rhodes, 48, was trying to help a friend dock a boat on Lake Powell in August with a blood alcohol well level over the legal limit of 0.08 percent. He was sentenced to one year of probation, two days of home confinement, about $500 in fees, and was banned from the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, which houses Lake Powell, along with not being able to drink alcohol while on probation....
Will they, and you, ever relive that peak experience of a year ago? No. You’ve loved and lost. Even the Net stocks that thrive won’t warm to their old highs any time soon. Large numbers of the dot-coms will fail, taking what’s left of your money with them. The rest will be bought by real companies–no bonanza, but at least reprieve. The question, I guess, is what you’ve learned from the affair....
That, his mother told the Daily Iowan, is why the first-team All-Big Ten performer and 2015 Jack Tatum Award winner says he will return for his senior season in Iowa City. MORE: Too many bowl games, not enough ratings | Bowl winners and losers King, who tied the Iowa record with eight interceptions this season, is considered one of the top cornerbacks among potential draft-eligible players and had been considered a possible first-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft....
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Wednesday that their proposed pathways to Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) revival are clear, and put the onus on the other side to make the next move. President Joe Biden and Rouhani have both been clear on their desire to return to compliance with the 2015 deal, which placed limits on Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief....
Upon his arrival in Moscow on Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian previewed his concerns toward suspected enemy activity in the Caucasus, telling reporters he expected Russia to share Iran’s concerns regarding “any possible change of borders, the presence of terrorists and Zionist movements that run contrary to the peace, stability and security of the region.” Amir-Abdollahian then sat down with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to discuss a range of issues including the Caucasus region that lies between the two countries, along with the hot topics of Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen and the multilateral nuclear deal abandoned by the United States....
American public and political opinion turned against both wars long ago, though the strategic and security value of both nations has made it difficult for U.S. presidents to end American presence there. President Donald Trump has spent almost four years railing against long-term U.S. deployments in the Middle East and Asia, particularly Afghanistan. Trump has been unable to deliver on his campaign promise to bring all American soldiers home, much to his own frustration....
Ahmadinejad was questioned by Radio Free Europe about his two terms in power between 2005 and 2013, during which opposition figures and journalists were arrested and social media platforms were filtered. RFE interviewer Golnaz Esfandiari asked the former president: “You tweet in English and there were reports that you have an English teacher. Do you write the tweets yourself or do you consult with someone?” Ahmadinejad replied: “It’s normal, I consult with my friends....
Protesters have marched in dozens of towns and cities across the country over the past three days, following the government’s announcement that it will ration gasoline purchases and cut fuel subsidies amid harsh U.S. sanctions. Prices have risen by as much as 50 percent, Reuters reported. The scale of the unrest is still unclear as the Iranian authorities are throttling internet connection across the country. At least six people—three protesters, two members of Iran’s security forces, and one security guard—are thought to have been killed so far, according to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty....
British Royal Marines boarded the Grace 1 oil supertanker last week over suspicions it was carrying Iranian crude oil to Syria. The supertanker now sits in British-controlled waters in the overseas territory of Gibraltar. Rouhani, speaking on state television Wednesday, did not address whether or not the oil was bound for Syria, but did warn the U.K. that Iran views its seizure as a conflict initiation. “You [the United Kingdom] are the initiator of insecurity and you will realize the consequences later,” Rouhani said after a Wednesday cabinet meeting through state television, Reuters first reported....
The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the JCPOA’s European signatories—Germany, France and the U.K., collectively known as the E3—had decided not to table a draft resolution censuring Iran for its nuclear program, which is now operating beyond that allowed under the JCPOA. The Journal said the decision was made under pressure from the U.S., which was concerned about Iran’s reaction if the resolution was adopted by the IAEA at this week’s board of governors meeting....
Two days later, Shimmari, a Baghdad college professor who asked that his real name not be used for his safety, was transferred to Saddam Hussein’s former military-intelligence headquarters, now the Edala prison. There, Shimmari claims, he both witnessed and was subjected to beatings by guards. Independent human-rights monitors who have interviewed other prisoners at the jail recount similar tales. “This was a dark place,” says Shimmari, choking up at the memory....
Everyone seems to be in favor of Iraqification. The president has urged an accelerated training schedule for the Iraqi Army. Secretary Rumsfeld says that more Iraqi troops, and not Americans, would be the best answer to his problems. Senators and congressman from both parties cheer the idea, as do most columnists. On the political side, the administration has speeded up its timetable to transfer power. While once it spoke of a three-year process of constitution-writing and institution-building, now it wants to hold elections and turn things over in 18 months at most....
Simon McCoy presents the talk show McCoy and Phillips alongside Alex Phillips. They were the victims of some explicit fake-name pranks, with viewers using X-rated pseudonyms in an apparent effort to poke fun at the channel. Vulgar fake names like “Mike Hunt,” “Mike Oxlong” and “Cleo Torres” were read out live on the air by McCoy, Phillips and another presenter Michelle Dewberry. “Mike Oxlong has got in touch and says he agrees with me, it’s absolutely the responsibility of parents to make sure their children have a healthy diet,” Phillips read out on air....

The agency announced in a news release Monday that phishing reports about the checks, also known as Economic Impact Payments, skyrocketed in June and July. Scammers try to mirror legitimate IRS communications in order to convince taxpayers to enter personal information or even submit a payment, according to the agency. “Even though taxpayers have received multiple rounds of Economic Impact Payments, we saw phishing scams surge this summer,” Jim Lee, the chief of the IRS Criminal Investigation Division, said in a statement....
