When people discuss the challenges related to e-learning (the use of electronic technology to facilitate learning), they tend to focus on access. This can mean access to financial resources to buy equipment as well as geographical constraints: some regions are simply too remote and underdeveloped to be properly connected to the internet – or even the electricity grid – which are of course both crucial for e-learning systems. There are also socio-cultural challenges to the use of e-learning, Read the full story

I've been reading these fluffer articles from Iraq for years now, this sounds the same as when Maliki says he's going to use Iraq's constitution to resolve differences between the sects.

Confirmed: Beta/Beta Stu’s was achieved but the RV starting ribbon was not yet cut (or switch flipped) by African, Asian, Indian, Hispanic, Mongolian, Aborigine Elders (Indigenous Sovereigns) as of this morning at 06:00EST per Beijing, Sunday.
Thus contact info not yet to be released.
Told it has something to do with Monday being a Federal holiday in US (MLK). Making Monday function like a Sunday and gives them a few more hours with the banks and markets down in US (till Tuesday 08:00 EST).
Redemption Exchange Estimates:
12 hours needed to redeem initial surge of private holders (500k-1M)
24 hours needed to redeem second wave of private holders (1-3M)
6 days to redeem extended circle of public holders (3-10M)
4 weeks to redeem entire global community —private and public (25-30M)
2 weeks post RV reconciliation period and the re-dressing of branch front-of-the house currency exchange lines.
Gold standard to publicly reveal, but subtly be announced, an slowly adopted by world governments at many points of time during this transition period.
End of February target date is set for the redemption transition to compete for entire operation.
FOREX to flip well after redemption event has completed and all political transitions worldwide have long been transitioned and settled.
The RV will happen without public detection due to proper spacing of events, social and traditional media content oversight and a manufactured sustaining flashbang distraction event (Trump).
The goal is for a seamless and secure transition, so the entire currency community can get in and out, as well as transition all remaining publics social structures without public detection; thus not disrupting normal, everyday life for the innocent human population.
Where the make-shift intel community gets it wrong is the constant urgency (desperation) to publicly out or expose the sins of the past in full public view.
The exact opposite was true. Less was always more—AKA stay below the radar versus blatantly hurling news stories on it.
Sovereign rates are to be limitless, with humanitarian and job creation projects needed to access.
Structured release settlements will also be required in all sovereign requests.
No struggle just gratitude.
All is well.

THE FEDERAL FIAT US DOLLAR VS THE NEW TREASURY US DOLLAR
*Reading the many comments on different websites, we realize that many remain confused by the difference in the two currencies. The FEDERAL US DOLLAR (FRN) has nothing to do with the United States of America.
The Federal Fiat dollar is owned by a private corporation formed in 1913 on Jeckyl Island by private individuals. The "owners" of said corporation called it the US Dollar to cover up the scam of theft of the American people. If you have not realized this by now, we suggest a crash course into the history of the Federal Reserve.*
*When, not if, the Global Currency Reset occurs.....the world will return to a "asset backed" system. For example, baskets will obtain gold, silver, oil, corn, cotton or whatever resources prove valuable. This will enable each countries currency to be "pegged" to a new value.
These "baskets" will NOT have the country’s currency in it, for example - gold, yuan, british pound, etc. Right now the "SDR" (Special Drawing Rights) at the IMF is set up with "currencies" and that is not going very well, so that will change also.
Each country has an audit of "assets" their country possesses and what it can support for a value to their currency. This "value" is not only gold bars in the vault, but also what is in the ground under their feet.*
*Back to the United States problem that people do not understand. Right now folks are saying that the US FIAT DOLLAR is going to devalue when the Reset occurs...WHO CARES!!! That is the privately owned fiat dollar, let it go down burning is what I say!!! The "true value" of the crap paper is about 3 cents. That is why a loaf of bread is around $4.00 at the store.*
*The USA Treasury will be sending out a NEW US TREASURY currency. If you do not believe this can happen...Research what John F. Kennedy DID in 1963. Google Kennedy Dollar, look at the $5 bill and the $2 bill...what is missing? I'll give the answer at the end for those too lazy to look it up.*
This is how it will play out, so nothing for us to worry about. The Global Reset happens...announcements made that the USA is getting new bill USA TREASURY bills.
For those of you that "might" still have fiat cash in your wallet or tucked under your mattress, you will be able to take it to the bank and exchange it for new treasury notes or spend it at the store.
When the store makes its deposit, the US Treasury will shred it. It is my understanding, it will take approximately six months for all fiat bills to be collected from mason jars, mattresses, etc. So far it will be a one to one exchange....no reason to freak out the people of the USA.
The FEDS have not printed new fiat $1, $5, $10, or $20 bills since 2009. This is why they have been pushing the "debit" card to use instead of cash. If everybody suddenly went back to only using CASH...the banks would freak because they do not have that much fiat cash on hand.*
The new US Treasury bill will have for example, a TRUE value of let's say $1.80 value to each $1.00 new bill. So that same loaf of bread sitting at $4.00 fiat right now, will DROP IN PRICE to NEW USA Treasury price of $1.30 for example, or even drop back to 89 cents like it was 30 years ago.
As Poof use to tell us all "we will return to 1950's prices" because the NEW USA Treasury currency "will have a "TRUE" value to it and it will be WAY HIGHER than that crappy fiat paper worth no more than 3 cents!!!*
*Just understand that the NEW Treasury bills will have a HIGHER value and you will be able to buy more at the store....this is also part of the "leveling the playing field" for us all. We will get more "bang for the buck" finally!!!*
*As for the OLD FIAT PRIVATELY OWNED CURRENCY that was called the US Dollar....Let it Burn!!! When it Burns, so will ALL that debt that is in Fiat dollars that has been chained around the neck of the World and the American people for the last 100+ years.*
*BRING ON THE NEW USA TREASURY DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* *I hope this clears up some of the confusion.* *Cheers*

The new US Treasury bill will have for example, a TRUE value of let's say $1.80 value to each $1.00 new bill. So that same loaf of bread sitting at $4.00 fiat right now, will DROP IN PRICE to NEW USA Treasury price of $1.30 for example, or even drop back to 89 cents like it was 30 years ago.
As Poof use to tell us all "we will return to 1950's prices" because the NEW USA Treasury currency "will have a "TRUE" value to it and it will be WAY HIGHER than that crappy fiat paper worth no more than 3 cents!!!*
*Just understand that the NEW Treasury bills will have a HIGHER value and you will be able to buy more at the store....this is also part of the "leveling the playing field" for us all. We will get more "bang for the buck" finally!!!*
*As for the OLD FIAT PRIVATELY OWNED CURRENCY that was called the US Dollar....Let it Burn!!! When it Burns, so will ALL that debt that is in Fiat dollars that has been chained around the neck of the World and the American people for the last 100+ years.*
*BRING ON THE NEW USA TREASURY DOLLARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* *I hope this clears up some of the confusion.* *Cheers*
