What about the subject of the deletion of zeros and the reason for the delay? 1) Security - control of the state (ie; Mosul)...

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi Vice President Iyad Allawi stressed that Iraq is no longer a test field, as it is the key to the stability of the region and the bridge between the Arab and Muslim worlds.
He called on allawi to "stop regional interference in Iraqi affairs and to initiate national reconciliation on the political level, because the Iraqi society is a reconciled society, as well as called to leave the methods of exclusion and marginalization, as guarantors of military gains against the organization of preaching and stability in the post-defeat organization Terrorist ", as quoted by his press office in a press statement, during a meeting with a delegation from the American Institute of Peace in Baghdad.
Allawi stressed that "the time has come to leave the country's political sectarianism and to adjust the paths of the political process towards strengthening the community unity and building the state of citizenship and its institutions and achieve the conditions of fair elections and start the stage of reconstruction and development through the adoption of a number of important procedures and laws related to oil and gas and distribution of wealth and the Federal Service Council."
He also referred to the repercussions of the general economic situation and the decline of the sectors of agriculture, industry and services, calling for openness to the outside on the basis of mutual respect and equal interests and non-interference in internal affairs.Allawi called on the international community to help Iraq in its war on terrorism.

Red dishes reduce weight
Many people struggle to lose weight, with some serious surgeries and unhealthy diets.The experts explained that there is a simple way can help us to eat less, by putting food in red dishes, because they are alert to the amount we eat.
Dr Charles Spence, a professor of experimental psychology at Oxford University, said: "Putting light or unhealthy foods in a red dish leads to less intake, because red indicates a risk that should be avoided."
This is not the first time that the color of dishes has been discussed in our appetite.In 2011, researchers at the University of Valencia asked 51 participants to eat strawberry mousse in black and white dishes, using the white dish at first.
The results revealed that eating sweets in the white dish makes the taste 7% sweeter for the tasting, and 9% more enjoyable to eat, compared to the black dish.This may be because of the white background, which allows us to see our food more clearly. "Our brains may track and remember all the foods we ate with the type of dish they were in," Dr Spence said.
Dr Spence, author of Gastrophysics, hopes these results will help food manufacturers add less sugar to their products, while continuing to create the same taste experience through the color of the packaging.Eating food on a white dish, while reducing sugar, helps the consumer believe he or she is eating the same food as before.
