Iraq: We seek to exempt us from the OPEC agreement to reduce oil exports next year
Iraqi Oil Minister Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar said that the country is seeking an exemption from the OPEC + agreement to restrict oil production during the first quarter of 2021, but it will commit to reducing during the next three months. The minister said that he had spoken about the exemption with OPEC oil ministers during three separate meetings, according to the statements carried by the official Iraqi News Agency. "The minister revealed that there are efforts to exempt Iraq from the agreement to reduce export quantities in OPEC, as all producers of the organization were approached in three successive meetings," the agency said. Last month, Abdul-Jabbar said that Iraq would cut production by an additional 400,000 barrels per day in August and September to compensate for exceeding the production quota in the previous three months. This is in addition to his pledge to cut 850,000 barrels in August and September under the OPEC + supply deal. At the time, he stated in a joint statement with his Saudi counterpart that Iraq was firmly committed to the OPEC + agreement and would achieve 100% compliance by August. In August, Iraq's total exports averaged 2.6 million barrels per day, the Oil Ministry announced on Tuesday, down from 2.763 million barrels per day in July. The ministry stated that the average Iraqi exports from Kirkuk via Ceyhan amounted to 97 thousand barrels per day in August, and the average price of crude was 43.70 dollars a barrel. |

It just says that it's arrival is because of the QFS...that's why I've found that the most powerful thing I've seen because we all thought it [Global Currency Reset] was mythology. No body took it terribly seriously because the phrase in and of itself was not given out by the IMF or the World Bank or anybody until now...how many counties come out and do something in respect to this at one time is to be determined but one of the main feelers is the Iraqi dinar is the lead in with the QFS...

How do we protect our eyes from the danger of radiation from phone screens?
01/09/2020 21:28 s
[Follow_Wine]
Smartphones have become an essential means for many today to communicate with others, browse the Internet, and do many work-related tasks, but these devices sometimes have harmful effects on health.
On this topic, the Russian ophthalmologist and specialist Marina Tsarigurdtseva said: “The blue light emitted from cell phone screens is harmful to the eyes and its safety, and this color, which is considered one of the colors of the spectrum, possesses different light waves ranging between violet and blue waves.”
To reduce the harmful effects on eye health when prolonged use of smartphones, the doctor recommends wearing special medical glasses, such as those used by those who sit for long hours behind computer screens, as the lenses of these glasses protect the eyes from the risk of blue and ultraviolet rays emitted from the screens.
Tsarigurdtseva indicated that phone users can also rely on some special applications that control the rate of screen brightness while using phones, such as those that adjust the brightness according to the rate of lighting in the place where the phone is used.
Among the important advice that must be followed according to the doctor is the use of moisturizing eye drops when exposed to the rays of the screens for long periods, and making sure to take breaks during work that requires sitting for hours behind computer screens.
Tsarigurdtseva explained that "prolonged exposure to blue rays emitted from screens affects the production of the hormone melatonin, which in turn affects sleep, so it is advised not to use phones two or three hours before bedtime."
