One day as i was browsing through the internet with tears on my eye i came across a testimony of man who was also scammed and eventually got linked to a legit loan company called MARTINEZ LEXIE LOAN COMPANY where he finally got his loan, so i decided to contact the same loan company and then told them my story on how i have been scammed by 7 different lenders who did nothing but to course me more pain. I explain to the company by mail and all they told me was to cry no more because i will get my loan in their company and also i have made the right choice of contacting them.

So, this kind of blew my mind. Once you get the ingredients for Indian food, you can make Indian food!
Aarti's party on Food Network gave me the glory of this recipe, so I'm not going to wax on too much. Just know that the paneer is marinated and fried. As in, fried cheese!! Find the recipe here.
P.S. I didn't make my own paneer and it was still amazing. We got ours at Costco, and apparently you can freeze it so...looking forward to many more paneer filled meals.
P.P.S. Don't overeat on this. It's easy to because it is dense and delicious, but you will regret it.
P.P.P.S. I bought naan from safeway to eat with this. There are only so many new things one can try at once. Don't let anything limit you from trying new food!

This is the first time I have seen one person be the t-shirt model for the small AND the large shirts. It really gives you a good idea of the differences in sizes of American Apparel shirts at Shirt.Woot. Below is Dave who is 6'0″, 175 pounds is wearing the Woman's small on the left all the way to a 2XL on the right. His favorite shirt was the medium which is the fifth from the left.

The Lemon Twigs talk great sibling-based acts!
The family that plays together, stays together. As long as music has graced our ears, there have been siblings that have united to create some of the most memorable songs and albums of all time. One of the latest acts in this long, long line is The Lemon Twigs – a psych-pop outfit fronted by the D'Addario brothers, Brian and Michael. When The Lemon Twigs were in town for Splendour in the Grass and some special sideshows we asked Brian to pick out some of his favourite familial songs for a playlist of great sibling-based acts.
The Beach Boys – We're Together Again
I've been through so many Beach Boys phases. Because they have such a large body of work, every phase means I get into more and more albums that I hadn't heard before. In the latest one, I got into some of the lesser-known ones – the ones without any hits or anything like that. A lot of them weren't great overall, but there were so many great songs spread across them. People talk a lot about that vocal blend that comes with them having brothers and cousins in the mix. I don't know if anyone has a more perfect blend than The Beach Boys. They're huge for me and for Michael. I've seen Brian Wilson live twice before, and it was really fun. It was in the middle of my third huge Beach Boys phase. He had Al Jardine and Blondie Chaplin with him, and his band is great.
The Louvin Brothers – There's a Higher Power
Obviously, they had a big influence on the Everley Brothers. Those close kind of harmonies were a big part of the music that Michael and I listened to growing up – The Beatles is an obvious reference there. We've been trying to work that into a lot of our songs. I really like this song – they were the first country act that I've gotten into pretty heavily. It'd be nice to explore those sounds and those ideas a little bit more on the next album.
Bee Gees – Voices
My dad always liked the early Bee Gees – after the Beatles broke up, he wanted to find music that was as close to them as possible. I like all of their eras, and this is a track from a pretty transitional period for them. It's the album before Main Course, which had a lot of their comeback hits on it. This record [Life in a Tin Can] was done with the same producer, and they're starting to do more rnb, soul-influenced stuff. There's also a lot of ballads on there, too. Michael and I think this one's kind of influenced by Simon and Garfunkel. I love this song – Barry Gibb sings really well on it.
The Kinks – This Time Tomorrow
This song is just amazing. It seemed like it was written about being on the road, and the repetetive nature of it. The album [Lola vs. Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part 1] is a concept album about the music industry – getting ripped off and stuff like that. I was listening to it a lot when we were signing contracts and stuff, so I was kind of expecting to get ripped off at some point. There's some incredible piano playing on this song. The arrangement is really pretty. Dave Davies sings a really powerful harmony on it, too – he's a fantastic musician.
AC/DC – Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
This one is for Michael. He loves AC/DC. I like them, too; and I really like this song. Angus Young is a great guitar player. His stage presence is amazing. Bon Scott had the best voice for AC/DC – Michael and I both agree on that – but, of course, the guy that everybody knows is Brian Johnson. [pauses] He's fine, though. I don't wanna be putting any negativity out into the world.
Sparks – Falling in Love with Myself Again
We got into them pretty recently, so we don't know all of their stuff. The albums we have heard, though – the early-to-mid-period stuff – are all records we really like. This one [Kimono My House] is probably the first one people get into when they're discovering Sparks. I discovered it after we made our first record, and I definitely noticed a lot of similarities between the two of us. The way they infuse classical music into their work, turning them into pop songs… I think that's really cool. It doesn't come off as very proggy – it's still very song-oriented. There's a nice balance where the songs are complicated, but not too complicated. This song has a really interesting feel. It sounds really sinister, but it's not trying too hard to be so.
Radiohead – A Wolf at the Door
It's such a cool song – I don't think I could write anything like it. Thom Yorke is almost rapping in this song. The arpeggios on the guitar sound really, really cool. The lyrics are amazing. It's a really powerful closing song – it wraps up at the end beautifully when Thom goes into the falsetto. It's a darker one, which is where I think Radiohead are at their best.
The Everly Brothers – Sigh, Cry, Almost Die
I picked this for similar reasons that I picked the last two tracks. You don't really think of the Everly Brothers in this way… it's kind of dark. It's got haunting lyrics, and the song is in a minor key. I like this song a lot. They always had a really special way of matching the music exactly to the lyrics, and this is one of the best examples of that.
American Spring – Sweet Mountain
They were made up of two members of The Honeys: Marilyn [Wilson], who was Brian Wilson's ex-wife; and her sister Diane [Rovell]. Brian produced them with a couple of other people, and he wrote some songs for them. He even reworked some of his songs for them, and he played on the record – you can hear him singing at the end here. Marilyn Wilson has a really nice voice – I think she's featured on a Beach Boys song, but that's sadly not on Spotify. Thankfully, I was able to pick that other Beach Boys song and share this one, as well.
The Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem – William Bloat
My dad used to play with Tommy. He used to work at this restaurant and bar that Tommy owned, and that's actually how our mum and him met – she was a waitress there. The Clancy Brothers were a band that were revered by all the folk singers – Dylan was a huge fan. I heard about them because of my dad, and they're relaly good. This is a favourite song of Michael's to sing. It's one of our dad's favourite songs, too. We played in Dublin recently, and we were gonna cover it; but Michael couldn't remember all of the words in time for the show. We're gonna practice it and play it the next time we're there.

- Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
- Publisher: Ubisoft
- Genre: Action Adventure, Stealth
- Release Date: October 27 2017
- Platforms: Playstation 4, PC & Xbox One
- Reviewed on: Xbox One S, HD TV & Surround Sound
- Game Supplied by: Microsoft
Okay, here we go, we're diving into one of the most hyped games of 2017, and praying that it doesn't glitch out. After a year's break, Ubisoft have thrown us into Egypt for the first time in the decade-old franchise.
When I went to download the game from the store I initially hesitated, this series is renowned for being rushed out too soon and then having glitches galore once you begin playing. When I played Assassin's Creed Unity I played the first 15 minutes and then didn't touch the game for 3 months because of the number of bugs in it. So, what was stopping this game from having the same issues as the ones that came before?
Well firstly, they've upped their game engine from the Anvil engine to the AnvilNext 2.0 engine. This is supposed to smooth out the graphics and remove any low fps issues that gamers might encounter during their gameplay. In my experience, has the engine change made a difference? As I'm not reviewing on a 4K TV with a shiny new Xbox One X attached to it, I honestly see no difference in the graphic quality between this game and the ones before. Although, I have noticed that there are little to no bugs within the game that affect the gameplay. Although there have been some rather interesting glitches (floating scorpions, bodies halfway in the ground, floating pots etc).
"Okay, so they've changed the engine with no major effects to the graphics or the glitches, so what's new?" I hear you ask. Well you may want to sit down. With Assassin's Creed Syndicate being 30% larger than Assassin's Creed Unity, I cannot calculate the percentage increase between Syndicate and Origins. The map is so big it takes almost 3 hours play time to cross at a walking pace. No, you heard me correctly. Three. Hours. When I first opened the map screen it made me laugh at how Ubisoft expected anyone to complete this game in a reasonable amount of time. I can already hear the anguished cries of multiple speed runners across the globe.
So how does this change the gameplay, is it the same as I'm used to? Can I still watch hilariously as guards jump onto a ledge only to lose grip and fall to their doom? In a word, no. The gameplay has had a rather large transformation since we saw it a year ago in Syndicate. Previous Assassin's Creed titles have allowed us to plough our way through enemies with countering and dodging being a simple game mechanic that is easily taken advantage of. In Origins the combat now feels a lot more fluid and less "clunky". The enemies now attack you 2 on 1 or even 3 on 1 at times. The player must fluidly dodge and parry as if they would in a real-life situation. You're able to lock onto targets and pick them off one at a time, however the player must keep an eye on everyone within the fight otherwise they could get a sword in the back.
Ubisoft have continued the recent tradition of no multiplayer capabilities within Assassins Creed Origins which for me is a disappointment. The outcry of no multiplayer for Syndicate was loud enough that Ubisoft should have integrated some form of multiplayer into this game. However, no such luck I'm afraid. But, in all honesty, the single player game is so vast that you won't miss the multiplayer. By the time you've finished the storyline the next Assassin's Creed will more than likely be out!
To assist the player in keeping up with the increasing level of difficulty throughout the game, Origins allows the player to level up the protagonist. This is done through multiple channels on this game, which helps tailor the game to the way that you play. Each time a quest or side mission is completed you gain XP and then level up. However, each time you level up you are granted a skill point, which you can then spend in the skills tree. This allows you to branch off (pun intended) into 3 different styles of gameplay. I myself am a ranged weapon user, so I've gone down the "Hunter" branch, however if I wanted to (or completed my branch) I could then branch down the "Warrior" or "Seer" route. It's a great way to gain specific skills to your own playing style.
The story is set in Ancient Egypt and is full on, not suitable for anyone under the age of 17 according to the ESRB, and after playing it I do agree with them. There have been times where I've widened my eyes in shock with either the brutal violence, nudity or language used in this game. Assassin's Creed grew up quick! It's now a teenager that seems to want to swear in every other sentence. Calm down Ubisoft, the shock factor is good every so often, but geez! The storyline focuses around a man called Bayek who is NOT an assassin, this is practically forced down your throat whenever you make a kill. Bayek does not have the patience, nor the skill to pull off a beautiful assassination like Altair or Ezio. For example, when catching one of his targets, he mercilessly beats his skull in with an orb. I mean, talk about brutal.
One word of warning to those out there, if you are like me and like the story to be acted out from start to finish whilst you're playing, be patient with this game. Within the first 20-30 minutes I really didn't like playing it as it wasn't clear why my objective was my objective. There was no clear reasoning or rule behind why I was killing this man. However, after the first 30 minutes of gameplay the story started to become a lot clearer and I noticed that I was enjoying it more and more.
The one thing I would like to point out, I absolutely love the travelling mechanic. With the map being as expansive as it is you need a way to get around that isn't going to make your legs wobble after 15 minutes of exhaustive sprinting. And with this game being set in the desert of Egypt it's only natural you get 2 modes of transport, horse or camel. Now I won't judge you for whatever method you choose but I will judge you if you don't use the amazing "Follow Road" function. Too often nowadays we use fast travel points to get from point A to point B in a game. Fast forwarding through the beautiful scenery of a game just to complete a quest or two. However, in Assassin's Creed Origins you can get your horse to follow a road to the specific point that you set on a map and simply put your controller down. This game mechanic has been used in other games prior to this (Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild) and it's nice to simply lean back and watch the virtual world go by. I will warn you though, if you set your marker inside of a property, your steed will stop at nothing to get to that marker. The glitches are hilarious.
The sound design is as usual very well done in this franchise. Simple things such as hearing your eagle cry from above to hearing the scorpions scuttle around underneath you, you can really immerse yourself in this game. One thing I will note is that within the first section the voices didn't sync up with the lip movement of the characters, and that really did irritate me.
Speaking about your eagle one extremely neat mechanic is the new "marking" feature. Say you're about to infiltrate an enemy fortress but you have no clue where all the enemies are hiding. All you need to do is remote pilot your very own biological drone (eagle for short). By flying around with your eagle, you can get a bird's eye view (pun intended) of the fortress and mark each enemy that is in the immediate area. Your eagle will even locate nearby treasure for that additional bonus! Out of all the new mechanics I would say this one is my favourite as it really comes in handy for those who like to play the game with stealth. Assassin's Creed has really upped the "Eagle Vision" mechanic here (another pun intended).
All in all, Assassin's Creed Origins is in contention for my number 1 Assassins Creed game of all time (alongside Brotherhood). The map is dauntingly huge, and the scenery is one of a kind. The storytelling leaves a bit to be desired and the glitches are as beautiful as ever. You can while away hours on the side missions and level up your character to blast through the main campaign. And it appears to be nicely customisable to the way that the player decides to play. Oh, and did I mention that you can kill and skin hippos?

An Independence Day to Remember
Acupuncture has worked.
My mom is pleasant. We can chat. She understands me and what I am saying. She isn't looking past me at some hallucination. Mom easily engages in conversation after her first Acupuncture treatment; just like the old days. It's exciting. (The photo shows my mom and my sister Ann in 2001, 9 years ago when she was on lots of pharma drugs and eating the wrong foods. My mom began hallucinating in 2005.)
I still don't know how long the affects of the Acupuncture will last. In the study that I had read where they used Acupuncture for dementia, the test group who had a treatment regularly for 3 months had shown an average of a 43% improvement in cognition. We'll use Acupuncture regularly, to begin she'll have a treatment twice a month.
This is certainly an Independence Day to remember, it's the year that my mom came back to the real world. We are all regaining our independence this weekend.
Yesterday, for the first time in over 2 years, my husband and I left my mom home alone with my MIL. We went out for 2 hours and even stopped for a Margarita on the way home from our quick little shopping trip. It was like the old days, days when we would just hop in the truck and not worry about who will stay with Jo.
Mom is still doing great with the Acupuncture. It's still working. She's settling in to her new normal. Her mind seems to be working better. Bad and annoying behaviors are now just memories, memories I'd rather forget. I prefer to embrace the progress, the happy times that Acupuncture has uncovered bringing with it an Independence Day to remember.

Fruits and Vegetables Reduce Risk of Stomach Cancer
According to a recent article in the American Journal of Epidemiology, diets higher in fruits and vegetables and lower in foods common in Western diets (such as processed meats, soft drinks, and sugars) can significantly reduce the risk of developing stomach cancer.
Cancer of the stomach is called gastric cancer. Gastric adenocarcinoma is the most common type of stomach cancer. It arises from cells that line the surface of the stomach. An important risk factor for gastric cancer is infection with the bacterium Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).
Although the frequency of gastric cancer has been declining, rates of the disease remain high in many parts of the world. Because of the number of people affected by gastric cancer and the generally poor prognosis, researchers continue to search for ways to prevent it.
Some studies have suggested that diets rich in fruits and vegetables may reduce the risk of certain cancers, including gastric cancer. Researchers are continuing to evaluate the association between diet and specific cancers. Such research could identify steps—such as dietary changes—that people can take in their daily lives to reduce their risk of developing cancer.
Researchers from Canada and the United States recently conducted a clinical study to further explore the potential relationship between dietary habits and the development of gastric cancer. The study included 1,169 patients who had been diagnosed with gastric cancer and 2,332 people who did not have gastric cancer.
- A Western diet, characterized by soft drinks, processed meats, refined grains, and sugars, was associated with
an 86 percent increased risk of developing gastric
cancer among women and a 44 percent increased risk among men.
- Diets that included increased consumption of fruits, vegetables, and fish were associated with an approximately 60 percent decreased risk of developing gastric cancer among women and an approximately 54 percent decreased risk among men.
The researchers concluded that diets high in fruits and vegetables and lower in meats, sugars, and refined grains resulted in significantly reduced rates of gastric cancer. These results provide further evidence that dietary habits may have a significant impact on the risk of developing various cancers.

Dietary Supplement Use Widespread Among Cancer Survivors
According to the results of a review published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology, many cancer survivors use vitamin or mineral supplements in spite of limited information about the potential risks and benefits. Furthermore, many physicians are unaware of their patients' use of these supplements.
Many cancer survivors use dietary supplements in the hope of managing treatment side effects, reducing the risk of
cancer recurrence, or improving overall health. The health effects of vitamin and mineral supplements are poorly understood, however, and may not always be good. For example, the herbal remedy St. John's wort may interfere with certain types of chemotherapy drugs. It is important, therefore, for physicians to be aware of the supplements that their patients are using or considering.
To provide information about the extent of vitamin and mineral supplement use among cancer survivors, researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University of Washington combined information from 32 studies published between 1999 and 2006.
- In studies that included a range of cancer types, the percent of patients reporting any vitamin or mineral supplement use ranged from 64 percent to 81 percent. This is higher than the roughly 50 percent that has been reported for the general U.S. adult population.
- Use of vitamin or mineral supplements varied by cancer type. Use was highest among breast cancer patients and lowest among prostate cancer patients.
- Use of vitamin or mineral supplements tended to be highest among those with the most education.
- Up to 68 percent of patients who were using supplements had not discussed their supplement use with their physician.
These results suggest that vitamin and mineral supplement use is widespread among cancer survivors. It remains unclear, however, whether this use is beneficial or harmful for cancer survivors, and whether the effects of use vary by timing (i.e. before treatment, during treatment, or after treatment).
Patients are encouraged to talk with their physicians about any dietary supplements that they are using or considering.

PROJECT: Matterport 3-D scanner
GOAL: Create quick, affordable 3-D renderings of rooms
There's a big market for making 3-D models of interior spaces–for architects, party planners, realtors, and others. But laser scanners require lots of technical know-how and can cost $150,000. Why not use a far cheaper, friendlier device: Microsoft's Kinect?
At first, Matterport turned a Kinect into a small, handheld scanner that a user waved precisely throughout a room. But beta testers wanted something an untrained staffer could handle. So Matterport created this:
This is the overhead view of a 3-D room scan. It required three scans (dots indicate where the tripod was), so that the machine could see every angle. That's 72 seconds of scanning. Stitching together the 2,160 photos took another minute.
Remaining challenges
Provide hosting
"I don't ever want someone to think, Oh god, I have to engage a consultant to do my post-processing," says Matterport's Mike Beebe. So the company is developing a website that will import all scans, allowing users to navigate, annotate, and alter them without 3-D software.
Price it right
Matterport will sell the hardware and offer subscriptions to its cloud-based processing, but it hasn't decided yet on all pricing plans. Instead, it's waiting to see how its beta testers use the device so it knows what industries (and price points) to target.
Toughen up
Matterport is anticipating all the places its tripod will be used–from deserts to dirty rooms–and the many ways it's likely to be knocked over. That way, it can design casing to offer the most protection.
Future Plans
Matterport is still in beta testing but aims to release a version of the scanner by the end of the year.
How it works
The scanner takes photos. Software stitches them together based on image overlaps. By design it has no sensors to orient it in a room: "The software algorithms will only get better and cheaper. Positioning hardware will always be expensive," says Matterport marketing director Matt Beebe.
1) Two Kinect-style devices (now a hardware derivative called Xtion, made by Asus) can capture 3-D pictures at 30 frames per second.
2) Hit a button and the tripod spins for 24 seconds to capture a room in 360 degrees.
3) A connected iPad shows the scan as it develops.

It's a familiar sight. But now it's re-emerged for an even more exciting reason. Josh Duffee, drummer and bandleader who loves the hot / dance music of this period, especially admires drummer multi-instrumentalist Chauncey Morehouse. And rightly so.
Josh's dreams are substantial, and he energetically makes them take shape. His newest venture will please up to 800 people on the evening of Wednesday, July 22, 2015, at the Capitol Theater in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania.
Chambersburg isn't one of the most famous stops on the Official Jazz History tour, but it was the home town of Chauncey and of Jean Goldkette trumpeter Fuzzy Farrar. In 1927, the Goldkette orchestra played a concert in this beautiful theatre; on July 22, a reconstituted tentet of some of the finest hot musicians worldwide will honor Chauncey and his music. And it's free.
You can find out much more about the concert here and, should you be so inclined, you can make a donation to cover the expenses.
I asked Josh for more details about the music and the musicians. First off, this ten-piece band will be primarily made up of the brilliant Hot Jazz Alliance, a sextet that is four-sixths Australian and two-sixths North American and six-sixths brilliant: From Oz, Michael McQuaid, reeds; Jason Downes, reeds; John Scurry, banjo / guitar; Leigh Barker, string bass. From the US: Andy Schumm, cornet; Josh Duffee, drums. Joining them for this concert will be Jay Rattman, reeds; Mike Davis, trumpet; David Sager, trombone; Tom Roberts, piano.
If you've heard nothing of the Hot Jazz Alliance, feast your ears here:
The second performance is particularly significant because it comes from the HJA's debut CD — which is now issued, in gorgeous sound, ready for the eager multitudes.
But back to the Capitol Theatre concert.
The tentet will be playing a variety of songs that Chauncey played throughout his career. Josh says, "We'll play the closest Goldkette recording to the date they played in 1927, Slow River. We'll also be playing Congoland, which Chauncey co-wrote with Frank Guarente when they were with the Paul Specht Orchestra. Audience members will hear music from the bands Chauncey played in throughout his career, like Paul Specht, Jean Goldkette, Russ Morgan, Frank Trumbauer, Bix Beiderbecke, Howard Lanin's Benjamin Franklin Dance Orchestra, Irving Mills' Hotsy-Totsy Gang, and others. This will be the very first time this music will have been heard in this acoustic form in this theatre! Here are some of the songs we'll be playing: Slow River; Harvey; My Pretty Girl; Midnight Oil; Clarinet Marmalade; Don't Wake Me Up, Let Me Dream; Stampede; Dinah; Idolizing; Three Blind Mice; Congoland;
Singin' The Blues . . . ."
I don't like being in the car for more than ninety minutes at a time, but I'm driving out to Chambersburg for this one.
And two days earlier / closer to home in New York City, the Hot Jazz Alliance will be performing two shows on Monday, July 20, at Dizzy's Club Coca Cola in Jazz at Lincoln Center: details here.
As I write these words, it is ninety degrees and humid both inside and out. But even more Hot — of the best sort — is coming.
May your happiness increase!

Updated for video and new articles (as of 8/19/16).
- MedCityNews' Stephanie Baum must have some OSS/CIA blood in her, because it appears she's beaten everyone on the miniLab Box picture plus posting the Theranos presentation video, which went up via AACC's YouTube site within hours of the presentation. Other commitments prevent me from an analysis of the hour until later, but gone is the black turtleneck, remaining is the talent for tap dancing around hard facts. The comments in the article and from elsewhere echo the profound skepticism and cynicism found in the MIT and WaPo articles. Yes, the 'Sympathy for the Devil' intro was dark humor, served up the way we like it!
- Bloomberg interviews attendees (scientists, clinical directors, professors, doctors) who believe they were baited and switched. The bait was the justification for Edison performance. The switch was The Box–a new technology, untested, untried and not even peer reviewed–that simply crunched down multiple existing tests into one container.
- (Updated 8/19) AACC's published article was short and straight up. "(Dr Steven) Master told Holmes that her data "fell far short" of what he expected based on the wide menu that Theranos promised previously." Plenty of promises from Ms Holmes at the end, but if CMS has their way, which is likely, Ms Holmes' "I've made the decision to double down and stick by it no matter how hard the path" and to be involved with AACC in the future, will be more empty Theranos promises.
Also WaPo, TechCrunch and POLITICO Morning eHealth
Is Theranos–and Ms Holmes–too far 'gone' to be credible or funded? Will there even be a Theranos company to develop this? Will Ms Holmes remain in the business through successfully appealing her imminent ban? The only sensible conclusion is that we'll believe the technology–and her–when we see it is properly and independently verified–and operated by a company with proper governance and controls.
Stay Tuned to See if The Fix Is In.
Thumb through the prior 17 chapters of the Theranos Story here. Hat tips to @EdifInstruments and Editor Chrys Meewella for the links (WaPo and MIT respectively).

MOSCOW,(Xinhua) — Russian President Vladimir Putin and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump exchanged views on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue in a phone conversation Tuesday, stressing the need to seek a solution through negotiations and diplomatic means, the Kremlin said.
The two presidents agreed to continue anti-terrorist cooperation and coordinate efforts between special services of both countries.
Putin informed Trump of the outcome of his meeting with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Monday in Russia's Sochi, when the Syrian leader reaffirmed his commitment to a political process, constitutional reform and presidential and parliamentary elections.
Putin told Trump that Russia fully adheres to the Iranian nuclear deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
They also touched upon Ukrainian and Afghan issues.
"Both sides expressed satisfaction with the phone conversation, which was business-like and informative," the Kremlin said.

The Farr Side: 'The Voice' has its strengths, but 'American Idol' is a star-maker
I enjoy watching "The Voice" for its entertainment purposes. The coaches are all good, including alternating coaches Usher and Shakira in place of Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green.
Season 5 has some solid talent, too. Plus, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine really make the show what it is. That being said, I'm still not fully in love with it. "The Voice" doesn't truly do it for me, aside from casual banter between the coaches — that's fun to watch.
I'm still put off that no one really makes it anywhere from the show. I feel let down after investing several months only to find that favorite contestants, or the winners even, have all but disappeared.
"The Voice" has yet to produce a major star. I thought there was an excellent chance with Season 3 winner Danielle Bradbery, but maybe I was wrong. Then came last season's Tessanne Chin. Wow, that woman could sing. I was so happy to see her win. But where is she now?
It was announced last week that CeeLo would not return to the coaches' seat, but that Pharrell Williams would be given his swivel chair instead. Maybe Pharrell will be able to change things as far as making a star. He's music's biggest thing right now. Pharrell's "Happy" is spending its sixth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Pharrell was responsible for two of last year's biggest hits, Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" and Daft Punk's "Get Lucky."
As for "American Idol" — I love it. I'm so happy with Keith Urban, Jennifer Lopez and Harry Connick, Jr. They are the perfect judges.
Season 13 is going well, despite what some critics say. I think the talent pool is awesome this season, so kudos to Urban, Lopez and Connick for finding some great people.
Changes made by Simon Fuller and Fox to change up the show are working, including a new stage setup, voting rules and results shows. I agree with it all so far.
I like that the "Save" was still in play, although I disagree with the judges not using it on Majesty Rose. Rose was a true talent with a heart bigger than her hair.
I found my favorites early and thankfully most of them are still in the top eight as of this week. Caleb Johnson, Malaya Watson, and Jena Irene each possess the talent necessary to make it in the business. That's not to say that C.J. Harris, Jessica Meuse, Alex Preston, Dexter Roberts and Sam Wolff don't have what it takes, because they do. This seasons' finalist all bring something different to the table, which makes for a truly great show.
"American Idol" has a proven track record for making stars out of both winners and non-winners. I feel like I've been a part of that success, too, because of all the time I've invested in the show and the contestants. "American Idol" has given viewers "the voice" to make people stars for 13 years running.
