27/08/2017
(Independent) .. The Iranian capital Tehran this summer launched the largest library in the world. This cultural center is supposed to contribute to reviving the desire of young Iranians to discover culture.
The library has a library area of ​​about 65,000 square meters, with several private spaces, galleries, galleries, cinemas and scientific courses, according to a report in the French newspaper Ouest-France.
A place of prayer was dedicated in the "Book Garden". The roof terrace is covered with green spaces that allow all readers to read books while enjoying the sun.
13 years of works
The Bookshop has become the largest library in the world, with book shelves spanning nearly 14,000 square meters, surpassing the Barnes & Noble Library in New York.
Iran is exploiting the new library to re-polish its cultural image. In addition, about 400,000 books were devoted mainly to young people, and the shelves for these books were downloaded for easy access by children.
It should be noted that the decision to establish this cultural space was taken in 2004 in conjunction with the organization of the Book Fair in Tehran. The construction has been completed since spring, but it was only opened before July 17, until the shelves were filled with books.
"This project aims to teach our children how to be active and creative, using modern methods and equipment," said Ali Larijani, head of the Iranian Shura Council.
The annual book fair is scheduled to be held in Tehran within the Book Garden.
Control is always imposed
Iranian publishing specialists expressed optimism that such a center would be launched. The Book Garden will help to spread and produce books based on modern techniques that contribute to the promotion of the publication of books by writers.
It will also be easy to access the ancient Iranian Islamic sources, especially with the availability of archives of the country dates back to 1979, the history of the Iranian revolution, which turned the country into an Islamic Republic.
On the other hand, some titles are still banned in this giant library, such as the novel "Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown, "The Girl with the Pearl Earring" by Tracy Chevalier, and the novel "Ulysses" by James Joyce. These novels are missing in the library. It should be noted that the presentation of a number of books has been banned because of its content that speaks about kissing, and wine.
As for the rest of the Iranian writers, they were divided into two categories. A class opposed to Hassan Rouhani writes in Iran but does not publish their books, and their previously published books are gradually withdrawn from libraries.
The others, who are sympathetic to Hassan Rowhani, have been rewarded by the system, and they have several important means to dedicate themselves to ideal working conditions.

The benchmark KSE-100 Index once again closed lower on Monday, losing 1.57pc amidst tight volumes as the index slid below 42,000 points to close at 41,974 points.

8-29-2017   Intel/Newshound Guru tman23  I suspect this will all come to a conclusion on or before the start of 2018... IMO... I expect the CBI to make a currency call and a change...upon conclusion of ISIS (war) , which is basically over...At such time we will find out the worth of the 3 zero notes at exchange.
8-28-2017   Intel Guru RayRen98   [Are you as excited about the dong as you are about the dinar?]  Sort of.  I’m satisfied with what I have heard solid intel from others on the IQD.  I haven’t heard as much on the dong.  Iraq is telling its citizens that they are going to change the value of the currency really soon, and we are starting to see little indicators of them doing just that.

8-28-2017   Intel/Newshound Guru American Contractor  Parliamentary Economic Committee member, Najiba Najib, is sounding the alarm about Iraq's current economic conditions.  This coming year, in 2018, the Iraqi government will have a laborious time in servicing debt, and repaying loans owed to other countries.

8-28-2017   Newshound Guru Kaperoni   As I have stated on numerous occasions, any bank that wants to do business with Iraq can. And any bank that wants to do financial transactions can.  The lifting of sanctions on Iraq several years ago achieved this. That being said, doing business with a central bank in Article XIV is risky and very few if any will do business with Iraq while they are still under IMF Article XIV. Until they achieve the requirements of Article VIII and accept it, most foreign banks will shy away from Iraq. Think of IMF Article VIII as an international standard.

8-28-2017   Intel Guru RayRen98   ...there is no new hot intel, but we do have some announcements from Iraq saying legislation waiting for eight years is now being passed.  They didn’t say what legislation.  There are new money auctions coming up later in September, and that may relate to the cessation of US dollar auctions.  [How excited are you?]  Very excited – this thing is definitely in motion...we just don’t know when.  And now ordinary Iraqi citizens have cards and are using them here in the US.  That speaks volumes to me.  We just don’t know if that is based on the new rate.  Also, 59 banks are taking dinar now.  All I’m waiting for is the rate to change.

The Iraqi forces were mopping those up those as well."  [How long do you think it will take to clear out the rest of the country?]   I would think probably until the end of the year...Maybe April, 2018.   My sense is that there is political timing at work.  Abadi will want the maximum boost from the war to coincide with the elections in April and he will want to keep the Hash'd forces " busy " i think.

Back and forth, back and forth... Western World redeemer's are being treated like a third class shuttlecock now as hydration occurs all around them but not to them.

SKRs worldwide are being funded in real time... but not in western banks, and not in TRNs. This per several paymasters sending SKR wires today!

It appears as if the west is being held back a week or so as to let the east get a slight but significant timing head start.

As a result of the RV firing, North Korea fired a couple of missiles over Japan sovereign territory. Pure cabal. Nobody is biting. And nobody will.
http://thehill.com/policy/international/348337-north-korea-fires-missile-toward-japan-reports

A SKR principal passport must be registered in the eastern hemisphere to get paid right now. So it matters more where one resides versus where the assets were redeemed or how what assets were submitted.

China looks to be taking care of their own nation and people in the Eastern Hemisphere first. And when they are all done, the Western Hemisphere can go.

Elders are clearly refusing to let the west get any trading advantage simply by not turning on their currencies.

If anything, their giving eastern hemisphere clients an investment or trading advantage to buy futures contracts and equities ... blatantly so.

Hard to watch if you're holding SKRs with either a European, Canadian or American passport.

And what's the common denominator of all these countries? You guessed it... they all have Anglo oriented leadership teams.

But I'm the asshole. OK. Wait till my alien /Anglo DNA degradation posts come out, then you'll be ready to lynch old Yo-Yo.

I absorb your pain and return it as love.

What's more comical to me is the same western world countries that have had their currencies reduced down to a 1:1 ratio are clueless as to what that really means.

See, post RV, eastern based governments, economies and currencies will suddenly shoot past their western counter parts, yet the basis for recognizing value will appear as if nothing significant has happened.

Literally the economic polarity of the financial earth will change or flip overnight, and almost no one in the west will even notice that everyone allied with the east is silently smirking at our entitled ignorance masked as pride filled arrogance.

Everything remains the same while everything changes.

That's higher chakra intelligence at work--as lower chakra life is gently phased out into oblivion.

Adapt or die. At least someone loves you enough to give you a head start. Sobeit.

Reports: Drinking too much water is harmful to health

LONDON, Aug 26 (Reuters) - Doctors have often advised drinking water to avoid dryness and serious illness, but a health report warned of excessive water consumption.
The report by the British Ministry of Health that drinking water over the body needs to "water" causes health risks that may lead to death.
The amount of water needed by the human body depends on lifestyle, age, exercise and weather. The average water consumption rate is about 1.2 liters per day for normal people according to UK weather.
He said that "the symptoms of dryness in the body caused by lack of drinking water include fatigue, dizziness and muscle pain and may lead to death."
He added: "There are also cases of water spoilage caused by excessive consumption, which are rare cases and can be called water poisoning, and lead to high levels of salts in the blood and push fluids into the cells, causing swelling, and thus damage brain functions, as a result of increasing pressure within the skull Causing head pain and nausea. "
The report warned that such cases, if severe, may lead to high blood pressure, impaired vision and difficulty in breathing and muscle weakness, adding that the extreme cases include fainting, seizures and death.
The report said that the correct way in which a person is defined as consuming the right amount of water is through the color of the urine, which is net in the color of white drinking straw.
