The Pentagon confirmed this, although the ministry is not currently planning to increase the number of units in countries where it is active. Experts fear that this authorization will facilitate strikes similar to those directed at the air capillary base.
Dana White, the Pentagon's press secretary, announced that the president had given the defense minister the right to control the number of units in Iraq and Syria, although there was no change at that level at the moment. This also does not mean that there will be any changes in the mission of fighting a fugitive in Syria and Iraq.

She added that the Pentagon would not have to obtain congressional approval to increase the number of military units, but would only have to report on the work done.

5-1-2017 Newshound/Intel Guru BGG "Would BGG please give us the true meaning of the deletion of the zeroes project"?] The "Delete the Zeros" project - (we believe) is part of the currency reform project in Iraq. Most notably the process of raising the value of the Dinar and then removing the larger "3 zero" notes from the market...they don't want people sitting on those big notes - they want them out, where they can easily retract them from the marketplace.
What about the subject of the deletion of zeros and the reason for the delay?
1) Security - control of the state (ie; Mosul)... CERTAINLY PREVENTS THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROJECT.
2) When it is DONE - it must be "...done in coordination with all state departments and the private sector..." Here's the DOOZY folks... [post 1 of 2....stay tuned]

Al-Qaeda is ready to kill Baghdadi
April 30, 2017 Baghdad - Agencies There is still talk of the possibility of al-Qaeda's integration and a strong presence in the Western media, including the Washington Times, which quoted US officials and anti-extremism experts as saying reconciliation between the two organizations could occur, especially with the creation of a new generation of trained extremists, They have land they inhabit.
These analysts and officials added that al-Qaeda and Da'ida are under increasing pressure, which could push them to unite, with the loss of a militant organization in Syria and Iraq, and with Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda organization preparing to receive hordes of foreign fighters fleeing the strikes of the international coalition in Syria And Iraq.
Analysts say that with the imminent defeat of the Dahesh organization in Mosul and the preparation of the international coalition to attack Raqqa as its capital in Syria, Dahedash expects him to go to secret work again, as usual before 2012, and to wage a conventional guerrilla war against Iraqi forces again. Experts argue - opens the door to re-establishing ties with al-Qaeda, which sought to build a global network of "branches" rather than trying to control the land and establish a state like Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's organization.
A US official, who declined to be identified, told the Washington Times that an organization advocating supremacy over al-Qaeda in the control of the land, an element that helped attract the former to foreign militants, was unlikely to be recruited by al-Qaeda because Ayman al-Zawahiri's organization recruited only trained militants, The organization of al-Baghdadi included all those who wanted to fight in his ranks.
But the situation has changed now, says a national security analyst. Over the past two years, an organization has created brigades of high-trained insurgents who are now fleeing under US strikes and are even seeking to join their "brothers" in al-Qaeda.
Thomas Sanderson, of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, believes that the al-Qaeda force, and the weakness of a nascent organization now, may cause some sort of reconciliation.
Richard Burchill, director of the research unit at Trends Research and Advisers, believes that veteran fighters who have emerged from a sympathetic organization will be attracted not only by al-Qaeda, but by other radical movements that will try to capitalize on the defeat of an oppressive organization.
The newspaper says that despite the talk of a rivalry between al-Qaeda and the organization of a preacher to the extent of fighting in Syria in 2014, against the backdrop of the claim of al-Baghdadi, the front of the victory under his leadership, John Brenin - the former director of the CIA - said in 2015 that this competition does not prevent Especially the possibility of reconciliation, with Ayman al-Zawahiri's call for unity.
The Washington Times said Brennin's remarks suggest that the CIA is assuming that if al-Baghdadi is killed in a US strike, al-Qaeda will move quickly, calling thousands of foreign fighters and young extremists in Syria and Iraq to join his ranks
These analysts and officials added that al-Qaeda and Da'ida are under increasing pressure, which could push them to unite, with the loss of a militant organization in Syria and Iraq, and with Osama bin Laden's al-Qaeda organization preparing to receive hordes of foreign fighters fleeing the strikes of the international coalition in Syria And Iraq.

"Getting out of the optimum indoor temperature range (21-22 ° C) is beneficial for people with obesity and metabolic disorders, because it accelerates metabolism and promotes energy consumption," says van Marken and colleagues.Experiments have shown that "moderate coolness" at home is beneficial for diabetics.
