Forex – USD/CAD falls to 3
Investing.com –
Investing.com – The U.S. dollar fell to three-week lows against its Canadian counterpart on Friday, as upbeat Canadian inflation data lent strong support to the country's currency, as well as higher oil prices.
USD/CAD hit 1.1206 during European afternoon trade, the pair's lowest since October 31; the pair subsequently consolidated at 1.1218, declining 0.74%.
The pair was likely to find support at 1.1177, the low of October 31 and resistance at 1.1326, the session high.
In a report, Statistics Canada said that consumer price inflation rose 0.1% last month, compared to expectations for a 0.3% fall, after a 0.1% uptick in September.
Canadian consumer prices rose at an annual rate of 2.4% in October, up from 2.0% the previous month. Analysts had expected the annual rate to remain unchanged at 2.0% last month.
Core consumer prices, which exclude the eight most volatile items, rose 0.3% in October, more than the expected 0.2% gain, after a 0.2% increase the previous month.
Core CPI rose at an annual rate of 2.3% last month, up from 2.1% in September and compared to expectations for an annual rate of 2.2%.
The report added to optimism over the strength of Canada's economy after data on Thursday showed that Canadian wholesale sales rose 1.8% in September, more than the expected 0.7% gain, after a flat reading in August.
The commodity-linked loonie was also boosted by a surge in oil prices, up 1.27% in European afternoon trading hours.
The loonie was sharply higher against the euro, with EUR/CAD plummeting 1.77% to 1.3924.
The euro came under pressure after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi reiterated on Friday that the central bank is prepared to act rapidly if low inflation persists.
Draghi also warned about weak growth in the euro zone, saying that no improvements are expected in the coming months.
The ECB head was speaking at the 24th European Banking Congress "Reshaping Europe," in Frankfurt.

Investing.com – The euro remained lower against the U.S. dollar on Friday, trading within close distance of a 27-month trough as growing expectations for additional easing measures by the European Central Bank continued to weigh.
EUR/USD hit 1.2406 during U.S. morning trade, the pair's lowest since November 14; the pair subsequently consolidated at 1.2428, retreating 0.90%.
The pair was likely to find support at 1.2357, the low of November 7 and a 27-month low and resistance at 1.2576, Thursday's high.
The euro came under pressure after ECB President Mario Draghi reiterated on Friday that the central bank is prepared to act rapidly if low inflation persists.
Draghi also warned about weak growth in the euro zone, saying that no improvements are expected in the coming months.
The ECB head was speaking at the 24th European Banking Congress "Reshaping Europe," in Frankfurt.
The comments came a day after a report showed that the euro zone's services purchasing managers' index fell to 51.3 this month, while the manufacturing PMI slid to 50.4 from 50.6 in October.
The report said the PMI surveys pointed to economic growth of just 0.1% to 0.2% in the current quarter.
Meanwhile, he dollar remained supported after the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said on Thursday that its manufacturing index jumped to a 21-year high of 40.8 this month from 20.7 in October.
Data also showed that U.S. sales of previously owned homes rose to a 13-month high in October.
However, the U.S. Department of Labor said the number of individuals filing for initial jobless benefits in the week ending November 15 decreased by a less-than-expected 2,000 to 291,000 from the previous week's revised total of 293,000.
The dollar also continued to be underpinned after the minutes of the Federal Reserve's latest meeting indicated that officials believe the economic recovery is strong enough to withstand external threats to growth, but offered little additional clarity about when rates could start to rise.
The euro was also lower against the pound, with EUR/GBP down 0.71% to 0.7936.

Foreign-Currency Price Fluctuations Benefit Bussinesses
VietNamNet Bridge – The appreciation of the Vietnam dong against other currencies has benefited many import/export companies.
The dong/dollar exchange rate has been stable since the beginning of the year with the supply always higher than demand from trading companies, reflected in the positive trade balance this year.
However, the exchange rate between the dong and other currencies have been fluctuating since June 2014. The dong has appreciated significantly over the euro and the Japanese yen.
Meanwhile, the Japanese yen lost 7.7 percent in the value against the dong. This is explained by the fact that the Japanese central bank continues loosening the monetary policies to cope with deflation.
The same thing is occurring with the South Korean currency as the won has depreciated by 7 percent against the dong this year.
According to Bui Hai Duong, a senior executive at Sacombank, the Vietnam dong has been appreciating against these foreign currencies thanks to the recovery of the US dollar.
Some businesses of S&P 500 have reported very satisfactory business revenue for the third quarter of the year. This helped US stocks soar to a two-week high and the 10-year bond yield climb to a one-week high.
Analysts noted that there are signs of the US Federal Reserves planning to raise the prime interest rate next year. The US Labor Department has recently reported that the average number of applications for unemployment benefits in the last four weeks dropped to the deepest low in 14 years.
The Purchasers Managers Index (PMI) released by Market Economic has reportedly decreased to the 3-month low in October. However, the news helped stop the continued decrease of the euro value against the US dollar only. Meanwhile, the euro's downward trend against the dong still continues.
Meanwhile, Vissan, CP and several food companies are rushing to import Australian beef and fruits to take full advantage of the Australian dollar depreciation.
Tareq Muhmood, ANZ Vietnam's CEO, also noted that many businesses have had big profits thanks to the depreciation of foreign currencies, not because of the improved business performance.
The CEO has also confirmed that more businesses have recently asked for bank loans to import goods from Australia.
Dollar remains broadly supported near 4-1/2 year highs
Investing.com –
Investing.com – The dollar remained broadly supported against the other major currencies on Friday, hovering near four-and-a-half year highs as mostly positive U.S. data continued to support demand for the greenback.
USD/JPY hit lows of 117.36 before settling at 117.61, down 0.48% for the day as investors locked in profits on the greenback's recent climb to seven-year highs against the Japanese currency.
The dollar remained supported after the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said on Thursday that its manufacturing index jumped to a 21-year high of 40.8 this month from 20.7 in October.
Data also showed that U.S. sales of previously owned homes rose to a 13-month high in October.
However, the U.S. Department of Labor said the number of individuals filing for initial jobless benefits in the week ending November 15 decreased by a less-than-expected 2,000 to 291,000 from the previous week's revised total of 293,000.
The dollar also continued to be underpinned after the minutes of the Federal Reserve's latest meeting indicated that officials believe the economic recovery is strong enough to withstand external threats to growth, but offered little additional clarity about when rates could start to rise.
EUR/USD hit session lows of 1.2406 and was last down 0.97% to 1.2419.
The euro came under pressure after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi reiterated on Friday that the central bank is prepared to act rapidly if low inflation persists.
Draghi also warned about weak growth in the euro zone, saying that no improvements are expected in the coming months.
The ECB head was speaking at the 24th European Banking Congress "Reshaping Europe," in Frankfurt.
The euro also pulled away from Thursday's six-year highs against the yen following Draghi's comments, with EUR/JPY down 1.46% at 146.05.
The pound slipped against the dollar, with GBP/USD down 0.12% to 1.5675, up from lows of 1.5628.
Sterling weakened after the U.K. Office for National Statistic said that public sector net borrowing rose by £7.05 billion in October, after a revised increase of £10.57 billion the previous month.
Analysts had expected public sector net borrowing to rise by £6.90 billion.
USD/CHF was up 1% to 0.9677, while EUR/CHF was little changed near 26-month lows of 1.2018, not far from the Swiss National Bank's exchange rate cap of 1.20 per euro.
The Swiss franc has strengthened against the euro in recent sessions ahead of a vote later this month which could force the SNB to increase its gold reserves, a move which could restrict its ability to cap the value of the franc against the euro.
AUD/USD climbed 0.79% to 0.8687 and NZD/USD rose 0.29% to 0.7893. Meanwhile USD/CAD slid 0.64% to trade at 1.1232 after Statistics Canada said that consumer price inflation rose 0.1% last month, compared to expectations for a 0.3% fall, after a 0.1% uptick in September.
Core consumer prices, which exclude the eight most volatile items, rose 0.3% in October, more than the expected 0.2% gain, after a 0.2% increase the previous month.
The US dollar index, which tracks the performance of the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, was up 0.57% to 88.21, not far from last week's more than four-year highs of 88.36.

Ranger4564 > G T November 21, 2014 at 9:05am If Iraq's currency is not Revalued in time, Iraq will be forced to negotiate loans with bankers who will of course demand flesh, and therein lies the evil circle jerk called banking.
The country (Iraq) is intentionally being sabotaged so the bankers win no matter whether a puppet like Maliki won the election or whether the bankers had to get their own hands dirty and extract the wealth themselves.
In the end, the only real hope for Iraq is if Abadi remains strong, opposes the cabal and bankers, and sides with China / Russia and gets some aid / assistance / support. I think the French / Germans / Swiss will be lenient on the debt, it's the US / UK / Israel / Saudis / etc who are cabal / cabal puppets who won't be lenient.
Anyway, if there is some sort of news of leniency on the debt, it's good news for Iraq and should be good news for us. If there is news of more austerity inducing loans forced by the cabal, then we will have to continue to wait, as the bankers continue looting unabated.
BREAKING NEWS: Citigroup Said to Be Ousted From ECB FX Group for Rigging
Posted by EXOGEN on November 21, 2014 at 10:19am
The European Central Bank ejected Citigroup Inc. (C) from its foreign-exchange market liaison group after the U.S. bank was fined for rigging the institution's own currency benchmark, two people with knowledge of the move said.
The ECB removed Citigroup from the panel, which advises the central bank on market trends, after regulators fined the lender $1 billion for rigging currency benchmarks including the ECB's 1:15 p.m. fix, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the decision hasn't been made public.
Citigroup was one of six banks fined $4.3 billion by U.S. and U.K. regulators last week and is the only one that also sits on the ECB Foreign Exchange Contact Group. About 20 firms with large foreign-currency operations, ranging from Airbus Group NV to Deutsche Bank AG (DBK), sit on the committee. The panel's agenda includes how to improve currency benchmarks.
Citigroup is the world's biggest foreign-exchange dealer, with a 16 percent market share, according to a survey by London-based Euromoney Institutional Investor Plc. A spokesman for the New York-based bank declined to comment.
The panel isn't involved in how the ECB's daily fix is calculated. Currency benchmarks such as the ECB fix and the WM/Reuters rates are used by asset managers and pension funds to value their holdings, including $3.6 trillion in index tracker funds around the world.
According to documents released with the settlements, senior traders at the firms shared information about their positions with each other and coordinated trading strategies to the detriment of their clients. They'd congregate in electronic chat rooms an hour or so before benchmark rates were set to discuss their orders and how to execute them to their mutual benefit.
$99,000 Profit
In Citigroup's settlement, the U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority gave an example of a day when dealers at the bank joined three other firms to manipulate the ECB 1:15 p.m. fix.
The Citigroup trader told the group he had client orders for 200 million euros ($249 million) at the ECB fix rate. By buying the currency for less and then pushing up the rate at which he would offer it to the client, he could make a bigger profit. The others agreed to transfer their buy orders to him and offload any positions that ran counter to his strategy to maximize his chances of success, the FCA said.
Over the 33 seconds around 1:15 p.m., the Citigroup dealer made several transactions, buying 374 million euros for more than the best rate to push up the fix.
The bank made a $99,000 profit on the trades, the FCA said.

Revaluation & Currency Reset Will Occur For Many Reasons
"The two countries have agreed to intensify talks on reaching an agreement to set up a free trade zone between Vietnam and the Moscow-led Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.

President Sang talks with Putin; 17 deals signed
Posted on November 13, 2013 by vietnamshipbuildingnews
t their talks in Hanoi on Tuesday, President Truong Tan Sang and his visiting Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin focused on measures to boost bilateral ties. Seventeen cooperation deals were inked between the two sides.>> Russia-Vietnam: Together to New Cooperation Goals >> Putin's visit to take Vietnam-Russia ties to new height
The two Presidents affirmed that the political ties have developed well with high trust, and agreed to set up more mechanisms of reciprocal high-level exchanges and contacts.
They also highly appreciated the lifting of the bilateral ties to comprehensive strategic partnership, which has opened up new opportunities to beef up wide-ranging mutually beneficial cooperation.
However, they admitted that the economic, commercial and investment cooperation has yet to match the size of their economies and their respective potentials.
Therefore, the two Presidents agreed that both countries should take effective measures to step up the trade and investment cooperation.
The two countries should also coordinate in implementing prioritized investment projects within the Framework of Vietnam Nam-Russia High-level Working Team, and boosting the early signing of a Free Trade Agreement between Vietnam and the Belarus-Kazakhstan-Russia Customs Union.
Both President Sang and his Russian counterpart agreed to enhance cooperation for the building of Ninh Thuan 1 nuclear power plant by using state-of-art technology and ensuring safety, efficiency and quality for the project.
The two sides also pledged to strengthen cooperation in other areas such as mineral exploitation, transport including civil aviation, shipbuilding, manufacturing, communication and telecommunications, combating crime and anti-terrorism.
They also discussed regional and international issues of mutual concern, pledging to strengthen coordination at international forums, including APEC, ARF, EAS, ASEM, and ADMM+.
After the talks, the two leaders witnessed the signing ceremony of 17 cooperative documents on economics, trade, banking, national defense, petrol, healthcare and education. These documents are expected to perfect the legal basis for bilateral cooperation and develop the comprehensive strategic partnership in the coming time.
On the same day, Russian President Putin also had a meeting with General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam Nguyen Phu Trong, during which Trong said Vietnam supports Russia's positive policy towards countries in the Asia-Pacific region, including Vietnam.
The Party chief also highly valued the efforts of Russia in strengthening peace, security, cooperation and development in the region, including the East Sea.
For his part, President Putin affirmed that his country always attaches much importance to developing the comprehensive strategic partnership with Vietnam, and considers Vietnam as a top prioritized partner in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Russian President left Hanoi on late November 12, concluding his visit to Vietnam.
Russia, Vietnam Sign Raft of Deals, Boosting Ties
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a number of key cooperation agreements with Vietnam during a state visit to Hanoi on Tuesday that is expected to significantly boost relations between the two nations.
After talks with the country's leadership, Putin said Russia and Vietnam, a priority partner in the Asia-Pacific region, have "taken another serious step in strengthening joint cooperation."
"We had very substantial, useful and successful talks with the Vietnamese president and prime minister," Putin said at the meeting with Communist Party of Vietnam General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.
Officials from both nations signed a number of agreements on cooperation in different areas, including on military issues, science and technology, as well as on extradition. Vietnam has become a major buyer of Russian weapons since 2010.
Gazprom Neft, the oil arm of Russia's state-controlled energy giant Gazprom, and Petrovietnam agreed on the modernization of the Dung Quat oil refinery in Quang Ngai province, Gazprom Neft chief executive Alexander Dyukov told reporters.
The two countries have agreed to intensify talks on reaching an agreement to set up a free trade zone between Vietnam and the Moscow-led Customs Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan.
Trade between Vietnam and Russia is projected to nearly double to $7 billion in 2015, from $3.66 billion last year. That figure is expected to reach $10 billion by 2020.
The main exports from Russia to Vietnam include machinery, fertilizers, metals products. Russia imports clothing, agricultural products and electronic appliances.
Putin is set to continue his Asian tour with a visit to South Korea on Wednesday.
Putin went ahead with the trip despite concerns over safety as the region continues to struggle coping with the devastating fallout of Typhoon Haiyan, which has claimed more than 10,000 lives in the Phillipines, which lies across the South China Sea from Vietnam.
Candid Advice From Dinarian Attorney
Post Emailed To Recaps
I just wanted to shoot a quick note. I took the day off to get some real work done. Hard to be in an office with phones ringing and folks just dropping in. So I am hiding out at home in my private office. Gheezzz I will actually get to hear Tony/DC myself today. Have my Bluetooth speakers set up so I can work while listening. Will be a new experience.
With that said I just wanted to take a moment and say – thank those of you for the kind letters and remarks. I appreciate you being so gracious and kind when you write.
However, the purpose of this is to state the following: When this happens I am "gone" from the scene.
I am not going to engage in planning, any advising with anyone outside my dearest closest friends and family. And for the most part I am going to have well over 10 figures to deal with myself if this comes in at the lowest.
I am going to be concentrating on "ME" and my loved ones and dearest friends who got me involved many years ago. I owe it to my family and those who knocked me over the head to get involved.
Additionally, the liability is huge for an attorney to step outside of his own jurisdiction and try and practice. Trust me there are wonderful people close to you.
Thirdly, I read what Tony/DC said in the last conference call on Monday. They shared rather candidly the reluctance of many financial institutions to want to do business with the "Dinarian" crowd. I can tell you I have had the same thoughts albeit not for the same reasons. And those reasons are legitimate.
Why would any bank throw open their arms to be later be rejected? Why would any bank want to assist you when many have suggested "I am going to ask for cash and get all I can get out?"
Why would any bank want to give you the warm and fuzzies when on TNT, and other sites they are constantly bashed?
And how many times I have read and heard – "I want, I want, I want, I want this perk and that perk and this perk". I want that bank to roll out the red carpet etc.? You have any idea how arrogant that sounds
Put yourself in their shoes. Why would any institution wish to deal with such grief? And if you are well off why demand so many free things? Why not be gracious and let them offer?
This sense of entitlement is offensive. It smacks of arrogance, commonness, ignorance, and just plain selfishness.
Sure Wells Fargo has to take everyone, but other banks. They have standards and as they are responsible for protecting shareholder value and their current customers why take on the risk?
You know the saying with more money comes more responsibility. They have the right to say "NO" Just as attorneys, accountants, investment advisors, financial planners, insurance specialist, and others all have the right to say "NO".
Just because a person has money does not bring entitlement. So think about these things. Think about how it sounds to folks monitoring the sites. I understand I really do.
I have said "no" countless times more than I say "yes" because I do not want a client that brings me grief. And I have the responsibility to protect my current loyal base of clients. Banks and financial institutions are the same way.
So Tony/DC were right – it is not arrogance by the banks but simply "defensive posturing" Just saying. . .
. Someone asked the other day where are all the lawyers, and financial people on the site? I wrote in we are lurking, why do many not say anything. . ."why would we when our suggestions are "questioned and demonized by armchair quarterbacks"? Who needs that kind of grief?
And again many are like me – we get up early go to work and the last thing we want to do is participate in a discussion and barrage of questions. I can tell you if I am at the office, "it is open season" There are days I wonder how I get anything accomplished.
Same with many other professionals. We are here – we are listening and we are reluctant to say anything out of privacy, and honestly mental exhaustion after a long work day.
Fourth with the above said, things you need to realize is that we live or at least a good percentage of us live in the United States, some live in other equally as good jurisdictions, UK, Australia, Canada, and others.
1. Banks in the United States most of them are publically held entities. They are not owned or governed by the Federal Reserve
2. Banks have shareholders like you and me that the bank has a duty to maximize profits. . . and to do that they have to give outstanding customer service
3. The Federal Reserve is owned by the banks as members. The Federal Reserve makes available through various "classes" of membership. FDIC insurance, liquidity, advice in the form of economic news and suggestions.
4. Because they handle the nation's currency sure they are regulated but we all want that. We want banks to be safe, just like we want our utilities and airlines etc.. However opening a bank account is not a "right" it is a privilege. It is part of like being a good citizen.
Fifthly, each bank that participates will have Wealth Management/ Private Bankers folks that want to help you. Don't trash talk them or poor mouth them. They are as Tony/DC shared misled in this whole process. Treat them with respect, kindness, dignity. And trust them as they help each of you put together a plan just for you.
Remember they live where you live, they live in your states, your cities, and your country. They know the laws where you live. They know accountants and lawyers who will be able to help you within the confines of the plan devised for you and do so within the laws of your jurisdiction.
Remember each state has their own Trust laws. You cannot just go online and download a trust and fill in the blanks. Trust works both ways. So step up to the plate. You now have money.
Be sophisticated be confident. Quiet confidence is the best. Firm handshakes, be totally honest, and share your dreams, desires, goals and risk tolerance.
They will help you devise a strategy that maximizes tax savings, asset protection and blesses you and future generations.
Caveat: this process may take up to 6 months. So do not get in a hurry, be patient work the process. And when finished it will be an ongoing process to maintain and hold others accountable.
However, both have suggested that in future opportunities the bar will be set higher. And honestly I can sympathize again with the PTB. Would you want to go through the "hell" of planning and all the things that have transpired to make a deal work as this one? I think not.
Listen to me. There is one correct way to aggregate money in small groups. It is called a Private Offering or Reg D offering. It requires as DC said a certain degree of sophistication.
However if you work with a Private Banker or Wealth Manager or good solid Financial Planning firm you will if you Prove to them you are sophisticated enough for this give you a shot.
Remember it is not a right – it is a privilege. The level has been raised for the requirements but there is a great deal of due-diligence you have to go through, signing documents, being advised by independent counsel etc. You have to have a certain Net worth and certain liquid net worth. There is risk as always.
But this is the correct way to do it. Just putting a trust together is not the way. You do not want to create an Investment vehicle or what some call an Investment Contract "Big NO NO" this should all be done within the confines of a Reg D.
That is how people get in and how people get investigated by the SEC, FBI etc. So work with professionals and seek their trouble guidance.
That is all I wanted to convey. Again folks I appreciate you being so wonderfully kind and asking me so graciously. However again because of family, and dear close friends. I am "gone" when this happens.
I may go to Vegas if there is a Vegas. But like DC and others I am going to melt away quickly. After all – we all have plans, directions we want to move in and for me I want to spend more time with those who are a blessing in my life. My boys and my family.
And I have things I want to do as well from a business perspective but I am going to take my time and carefully move, methodically and slow. For many this is it – this is the last shot.
Remember be as "Wise as a Serpent and as Harmless as a Dove." Then one day you will hear the words, "Well Done My Good and Faithful Servant." I have a suggestion I know this sounds radical.
Pretend you are one of the servants given the talents by the Lord and all he has given is HIS. See how that perspective governs the way you handle HIS monies. If you take that approach as if you are managing money for a KING. It will make you wiser and more prudent.
God bless you all. Hang in there! At this point that is all anyone can do. And above all pray remember all nations are before HIM and HE moves the heart of kings and rulers. All nations are established before him. And he causes them to rise and fall.
I am and remain, With kindest regards for each of you
Mother, Esq.

Forex – USD/JPY slips on profit-taking, still near 7
Investing.com –
Investing.com – The U.S. dollar slipped lower against the yen on Friday, but remained close to seven-year peaks as investors locked in profits on the greenback's recent rally.
USD/JPY hit 117.36 during late Asian trade, the session low; the pair subsequently consolidated at 117.79, shedding 0.31%.
The pair was likely to find support at 116.34, the low of November 18 and resistance at 118.97, Thursday's high and a seven-year high.
The dollar found further support on Thursday after the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia said that its manufacturing index jumped to a 21-year high of 40.8 from 20.7 in October. Economists had expected the index to decline to 18.5.
Data also showed that U.S. sales of previously owned homes rose to a 13-month high in October.
Earlier Thursday, the U.S. Department of Labor said the number of individuals filing for initial jobless benefits in the week ending November 15 decreased by 2,000 to 291,000 from the previous week's revised total of 293,000.
A separate report showed that U.S. consumer prices were flat last month, compared to estimates for a decline of 0.1% and following a gain of 0.1% in September.
Separately, demand for the dollar continued to be underpinned after the minutes of the Federal Reserve's latest meeting indicated that officials believe the economic recovery is strong enough to withstand external threats to growth, but offered little additional clarity about when rates could start to rise.
Markets are currently expecting the U.S. central bank to start raising rates sometime around September 2015. In contrast, the Bank of Japan is expected to continue monetary easing in order to shore up growth and inflation.
The yen was higher against the euro, with EUR/JPY declining 0.35% to 147.69.

Uneasy: Feedback from WF bank-personal
My sister just came back from WF after opening up an account . Lots of people opening accounts. The lady at bank right up front said that they are a currency bank now and all the WF in Tucson can take currency . They accept all currency now except dinar but that will happen soon. My sister had simply asked to open up a checking account.
LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE THE BANK!!! and along with Tony … soon
MDJ: 11-20-2014 tman23 "CONFIRMED THE PEOPLE'S SALARIES IN MOSUL AND NINEVEH PROVIDENCE HAVE BEEN RELEASED"
[and/or LD's are out?] Dont even want to guess at it…just know that those in the Kurd region and Nineveh Providence which is Sunni are being paid…Note that each gov't entity releases salaries…the retirement is being paid for the 8th month…social security/welfare benefits are not paid yet…civil servant salaries are released…And some say they need to travel to Baghdad but those with smart cards can collect anywhere…as for today…Iraq is very very quiet in regards to news being published for outside sources.
Mac November 20, 2014 at 10:05pm So our country fined billions supposedly and now we can further delay this till January or beyond?/Doesn't make much sense..
KThompson > Mac November 20, 2014 at 10:35pm US citizens were fined 4 billioñ as the gov is broke
Sqwatchy > Mac November 20, 2014 at 10:22pm my understanding…is that the fine…increases…every day it is further delayed… USA/ Emperor…was not well received in Australia at the G-20. There was obvious friction…..Remember..Putin left a day early after Cameron and he met, and exchanged brownie receipes….wink..wink..
Finnick Odair > Mac November 20, 2014 at 10:21pm 4 billion is nothing to these people.
Michael November 20, 2014 at 10:17pm Dinarland, I hope I am right but you know they took the air out of those watching with the Kuwait revaluation.
They said the king had suddenly died. The next day it went.
We are receiving a similar message tonight. Hang on. Things are way to tense to just put this on the back burner. We are still in a great place. Just keep energies up.
Don't let down. That's what they want. We already won. Timber!!
** ********
Dr. Mark November 20, 2014 at 11:42pm People..Zap and Landa are focused on the PP….not the RV. Understand the difference. All is good!
Finnick Odair > Dr. Mark November 20, 2014 at 11:45pm All is connected dude. For our money to be safe it has to be in a currency other than FRN'S.
dinar dude > Finnick Odair November 21, 2014 at 12:04am thats what MCA accounts are for !
Mr. Chen > Finnick Odair November 20, 2014 at 11:59pm ROFL
So if Iraq announced the RI or RV publicly to the world in the news and the internet and all other media outlets the US citizens with dinar like you and me would not be able to exchange our dinar for USD because it is frn still?
You crack me up sometimes.
Finnick Odair > Mr. Chen November 21, 2014 at 12:07am Bro if the scenario above had ANY POSSIBILITY whatsoever of happening this GCR/RV would have happened a long time ago. Years ago. The bad dudes would have loved it to happen that way. Guess what we are still waiting and it is not for Iraq.
dinar dude > Finnick Odair November 20, 2014 at 11:56pm My understanding is that our USD is already asset backed now and until we get new notes they will be still be used and then slowly replaced once TRN are out !
Jim > dinar dude November 21, 2014 at 12:22am Absolutely!
Dr. Mark > dinar dude November 21, 2014 at 12:15am Yes
OilRat > dinar dude November 21, 2014 at 12:09am That is 100000% correct…..JMO!!!
Finnick Odair > OilRat November 21, 2014 at 12:18am Then I'm quoting EXO. "If by next week we are not exchanging then something very sinister is going on".
RA > We tend to take intel and view it through our perception of the world. Thus some will blame the president, some the devil, some aliens, some congress, some Russia, China, or the USA etc etc. Even intel providers do the same. If one had a true perception of how the world worked, the predictions would be 100%. But unfortunately none of us do.
This site is instrumental in giving information for its users to prepare..bottom line. And intel providers do that so don;t shoot the messenger. HOWEVER, understand that their predictions are ESTIMATIONS based on their understanding of events..nothing more nothing less.
WHAT YOU CAN TAKE TO THE BANK (no pun intended) is that world events are lining up for either a massive RV, economic collapse, or a freeing of humanity. It really all depends on how the PTB and US (not the United States but us) react to events that will set the stage for what happens next.
SO, use judgment when you see a prediction, don't get carried away with tomorrow or the next hour or anything other than the fact that each news item brings you closer to a world changing event of some kind and please live your life to the fullest but be AWARE of what is happening around you.

Double lung transplant recipient Hélène Campbell heads home to Ottawa
Hélène Campbell, the 21-year-old double lung transplant recipient who raised awareness about organ donation, has returned home to Ottawa to continue her recovery.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Hélène Campbell will wake up in her own bed Tuesday morning, surrounded by her entire family, for the first time in six months.
The Ottawa double lung recipient returned home Monday without fanfare, after getting the green light from her transplant team at Toronto General Hospital, a little more than three months after her life-saving surgery.
Foremost on her mind is cooking dinner for her family and climbing the stairs at home that had come to feel mountainous when she battled for every breath and needed oxygen around the clock.
"I'm so excited to be going home to friends, family and the city of Ottawa," she told the Star on the eve of her journey home. "I really can't wait to get back to normal life. I could talk for hours of what I can't wait to do."
One of the first orders of business for the 21-year-old will be reorganizing her admittedly messy bedroom. "I want to rearrange my room, because I think when you have a big change in life you rearrange your room," she says.
Campbell will also head out to her family's trailer at a local lake, the one place where her mother, Manon, can relax.
It was almost one year ago when Campbell was admitted to hospital with collapsed lungs, then diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis, an incurable condition that causes hardening of the lung tissue and requires a transplant.
She was told last October she would need a transplant and officially placed on the list in January, forcing a move to Toronto to be close to the hospital. Compared to some others, her wait was brief, although her health deteriorated sharply in the days before the transplant on April 6.
A social media organ donor awareness campaign, started by Campbell in January, proved hugely successful. It garnered support from, among others, Justin Bieber and Ellen DeGeneres, resulting in a media frenzy and thousands of new registrations for the province's www.beadonor.ca website.
As she continues her recovery, Campbell can't help but think of the many other patients still awaiting organs for transplant. She is especially concerned for Kayla Baker, a 14-year-old Cambridge girl who's been awaiting lungs for 16 months. Baker developed pulmonary fibrosis at age 11, possibly due to cancer treatment she received as a toddler.
The teen, who loves sports and roller coasters, has been raising awareness through her Facebook group "New Lungs for Kayla" and talking to anyone who will listen — at schools, malls, co-ops and her local food bank.
"There's a lot of awareness for adults, which is awesome, I love it, but we should think of kids too," says Baker. "When people think of transplants they think of older people, but I'd like people to think of younger kids."
There are currently 24 children awaiting transplants through the Hospital for Sick Children.
Campbell has only good things to say about her stay away from home. "The city of Toronto has been absolutely amazing," she said. "Everyone we've met here has been such a blessing, such a supporter."
And now she looks forward to establishing a routine of physio, medication and "leading a respectful transplant life."
"You're always, always thankful and grateful at the end of the day. How could you not be? You've been given these lungs by a donor family and, in their loss, they were able to think of someone else's gain. I will continue to honour that gift and promote it with all my breath."

Chicago recalls Pirri, sends down Hayes
Oct 12, 2013, 9:29 AM EST
After being something of a surprise cut during training camp, Brandon Pirri is on his way back to Chicago.
Pirri, 22, was recalled from AHL Rockford on Friday night as the club sent fellow forward Jimmy Hayes back to the minors.
The club's second-round pick (59th overall) at the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Pirri was though to have had a good shot of making the club this season after the departures of David Bolland and Michael Frolik. Pirri led AHL Rockford in scoring last season (75 points in 76 games) and was off to a good start this year, notching three assists through three games.
Pirri didn't make the team out of training camp though, as mentioned. The 'Hawks went with the likes of Joakim Nordstrom, Ben Smith and Hayes — the latter only appearing in two games this year, not dressing for Friday's 3-2 win over the Islanders.
- pone27 - Oct 12, 2013 at 10:06 AM
Time to shine, Pirri.
Love Hayes, but he seemed pretty lost out there. I'm sure a lot of us Hawks fans wanted to see Pirri make the roster right out of the gate, but now its his time to give it a whirl.
Curious to see who they put him with.
- endusersolutions2013 - Oct 12, 2013 at 12:39 PM
1st, I think there is going to be a lot of call ups/send downs this year. Pirri missed all but 1 of the pre-season games with an injury, and it was likely a "not ready to play up here yet physically/stamina nwise" vs " not ready skills wise"
- endusersolutions2013 - Oct 12, 2013 at 12:39 PM
Kruger moves to wing?
- esracerx46 - Oct 12, 2013 at 1:43 PM
So glad to see Pirri called up. Hope he gets a shot at the second line. Aft3r seeing that caps gam3, it makes me wish the Hawks had a right handed center in the system
- larry1957 - Oct 12, 2013 at 2:11 PM
Glad to see Pirri up. Hope he scores tonight against Buffalo
- blackhawks2010 - Oct 12, 2013 at 2:23 PM
Glad to see Pirri back, it's his time to make an impact. Jimmy has played well, however, still needs some fine tuning in Rockford.
The great thing is how deep the Hawks are, Hayes would be a second line player in half the league.
- raiderssuckballz - Oct 12, 2013 at 2:42 PM
Pirri is better than Hayes!
- slysipops - Oct 12, 2013 at 7:31 PM
i'm sure HAYES will be back also. it's a tough roster to break into. there are a couple of superstars that might need a scare of a minor league stint to get them rolling!

Hip hangouts in Ras Al Khaimah
Ras Al Khaimah is the place to be this winter season, with numerous new hotspots
- Image Credit: Ma. Felicidad De los Santos/ANM
- Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Resort and Spa, a luxury spa resort with its own private bay spanning 1.5km.
There are plenty of reasons why Ras Al Khaimah is called a "rising emirate."
One of the emirate's more promising hotspots is the Promenade—its answer to Dubai's The Walk. The stretch—which is still under development—offers walkways for a leisurely stroll and a bike trail. Some top international restaurants have already opened shop, including the chic Italian restaurant Pesto where you can dine in or al fresco. Try their set lunch menu for Dh180, which includes your choice of an appetizer, main course, desert and drink. The food is worth it. The relaxed ambiance and ocean view are a bonus.
Five-star delight
New five-star hotels and properties are themselves a travel destination, starting with the expansive Hilton Ras Al Khaimah Resort and Spa, a luxury spa resort with its own private bay spanning 1.5km. The vast property also has six swimming pools.
You won't run out of activity here. There are signature restaurants, water sports for guests, a 24-hour fitness centre, and a spa to soothe your muscle pains from all that non-stop activity during your visit to the emirate. For those who want to relax, guest rooms feature a private balcony where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the sweeping beachfront and sapphire waters of the Arabian Gulf. They also have beach villas that open out to a garden with a pool, or right on the beachfront.
Wildlife show
In the late afternoon, catch an entertaining falcon show at the Banyan Tree Al Wadi resort, a huge chunk of which is a wildlife reserve that is also home to some owls and eagles. The golf cart ride around the property is already an adventure in itself—you'll find yourself snaking into the tent villas set in the desert. You might also spot an oryx along the way.
Sunset cruise
Head to the Al Hamra Marina for a sunset cruise aboard the Prince of Sea—Ras Al Khaimah's latest leisure trip. Enjoy lounge music and a drink during the two-hour cruise out on the Arabian Sea for Dh150. There is also a dinner cruise from 8pm to 11:30pm for Dh225, which includes a welcome drink, dinner buffet, DJ music and a show.
Light aviation
Get a bird's eye view of the emirate on a micro-light aircraft at the Jazirah Aviation Club. Here, it's just you, your pilot and the scenic views of Ras Al Khaimah's desert, beach, mountains and the sea below. If you're feeling brave, you can even request your pilot to throw in an acrobatic move or two. Rides start from Dh220 for 20 minutes.
Desert village
Consider this one a five-star version of desert safari camps. The Bassata Desert Village is definitely a great spot for a night out with friends. The camp can host up to 500 guests. A fee of Dh225 includes well-stocked dinner buffet with live cooking stations, non-alcoholic drinks, horse and camel rides, entertainment, henna and party music.

An Egyptian soldier sits on top of an army vehicle as army guards Nasr street on January 31, 2014 in downtown Cairo. AFP PHOTO / FAYEZ NURELDINE
CAIRO: Egypt's state news agency says a drive-by shooting on a highway east of Cairo has left three policemen dead.
MENA says the attack took place early on Wednesday as the three policemen were patrolling the Suez-Ismailia road. Unidentified gunmen opened fire from their car on the police vehicle and fled the scene.
The agency says authorities are investigating and searching for the attackers.
Bombings, suicide attacks and drive-by shooting have surged in the country since the military's ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi last summer.
An al-Qaida-inspired militant group has claimed responsibility for most of the attacks. The government accuses Morsi's group, the Muslim Brotherhood, of orchestrating the attacks and has branded it a terrorist organization. The Brotherhood denies the accusations.

You're reading the news with potential spoilers, make them spoiler free, dismiss
Last episode's accident takes on immediate focus here, and for a time "Pride and Prejudice" once again does a great job reminding us what the difference is between TV investigators and real one. I'm genuinely not sure I've ever consumed a piece of fiction where one of the good guys accidentally kills a criminal, and this is actually treated like a bad thing. Usually their buddies bend over backwards to say it wasn't their fault, and anybody so impertinent as to suggest the loss of human life is always tragic regardless of circumstance is branded as a naïve do-gooder...More
After Woo-jin has revealed his gambit for making victory not so impossible after all, a twist pops up that threatens a reasonably interesting political allegory. What happens if you take power only to discover that the situation is not what it seems? This idea is mostly scuttled, though, because the main group immediately sets up a council to figure out what happened. Such are the advantages of a team that operates under a genuine assumption of trust...More
This episode is particularly brutal, both emotionally and physically. After twelve episodes of Seon hoping that his father will do the right thing by his people, he is crushed by the reality of his father's ambitions. King Yeongjo himself is again confronted by how far he will go when motivated by fear and ambition. Ambition and power make a deadly combination as those beneath Yeongjo discover.
That combination is enough to snuff out the lives of many and make Seon, the light and stalwart soldier of his people, waver...More
The first part of this episode deals with Woo-jin teaming up with Dal-goo to gain an advantage in the overall game. The exact mechanics of this are, unfortunately, a little bit difficult to fully parse because we're not told the rules for the fourth round until after Dal-goo has already been through the ringer. Given that the stakes are everything in "Liar Game", a failure to clearly define them does a lot of damage in terms of keeping the drama interesting...More
We open up with an exploration of Dong-chi's involvement with Yeol-moo's little brother's case. No information is hidden here for the sake of dramatic impact later on, even if the entire set-up to begin with was a fairly fantastic coincidence. Even though we know how the story's going to end, there's quite a bit of tension going on with young Dog-chi. On a basic level, this is the story of his greatest failure, even if at the time he was just a kid with no way to know how to handle this kind of crisis situation...More
When we last left off, all the characters' basic motivations toward matchmaking had been pretty clearly established, and some of them have been more successful than the others. We start off with a couple of the men trying to figure out why they've been doing so poorly. They do in fact get an explanation, but it's oddly unsatisfying. Mostly this is because, much like this drama's done so far, the commentary here mainly just seems to be on how arbitrary and mostly useless the dating process...More
"Interstellar" arrives and conquers…
Christopher Nolan's epic sci-fi event "Interstellar" absorbed 73.2% (1.6M admissions) of the box office pie over the weekend; the $165M delight was given 1,342 screens to pool from (more than double any other), and dominated from there.
Last weekend's number one, David Flynn's "Gone Girl", retreated to third with just 147K (6.6%), while Oh Ki-hwan's "Fashion King - Movie" entered the fray in second (284K - 11.5%). "Gone Girl" was enjoying pole position prior to Nolan's masterpiece and Oh Ki-hwan's K-comedy, but even so the film has only amassed 1.5M admissions ($11.3M) since its release late October...More

A La Carte day
... I enjoyed my waffle and ice cream. Barry went off to the small shop and came back with some bite spray - a nice gesture but not enough to get him of the hook - 'but he was about to die' After a rest in the room it was out to the town to get Barry a Turkish shave. We settled on one near the hotel which made his face oh so smooth. No flames I. His ears though. Back to the hotel and just about to put my posh frock on when ...
Mud bath day
... a small glass. That said there were a lot of people to feed, our group had 38 and there were several similar sized groups. After lunch we were back on the boat heading down river to Turtle beach. We stopped to look at the Burial tombs carved into the Rock face en route. Ebru gave us a very in depth history lesson, not sure I would pass the test afterwards though. On to the beach. A long stretch of golden sand, gently shelving in the water but with gentle waves. All I wanted was ...
Marmaris day
... moped. It was nice and cool inside. We moved away from the harbour side and found a quite restaurant for a much needed drink. Beer was not the healthiest option but the one we both chose. Refreshed we went on a cache hunt but failed before heading up to the castle. No luck with any view though. The castle is now a museum wanting money to enter so we didn't bother. We tried a few side streets in search of the view but ...
Spa day
... short stroll around the town before the hotel entertainment. The Drifters were quite good once they got going, got the crowd involved. I was not so taken with the light show though. 3 blokes in outfits with coloured lights pretending to fight each other. Luckily this bit dint go on too long. I've found my first 2 bites this evening, felt I was being attacked while watching the ...
Rest day
Not a bad nights sleep. The noise from the adjacent bar had stopped by the time we went up to the room. The room was nice and dark and the bed comfy. Having overslept so much on the first day of our last holiday I set an alarm and we were down for breakfast soon after 9. Very busy, struggled to find a table and ended up right at the far end of the room. The choice was a little disappointing with not much for me in the hot section. But then I think ...

Great outfit, I read your blog (nice blog btw and what a cool job you have) – if you think you won't be using the skirt how about adding a sheer overlay. It's very trendy now. Just a thought :)
