Lorena1972: Good afternoon everyone! Just a little tidbit! I was just at Wells and I asked the teller if she had heard any updates on the pending revaluation of some currencies?

Harambe: Reuters: Cleric Sadr backs Iraq protests, calls for delay in government formation ... BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Shi’ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, whose political bloc won Iraq’s May 12 election, called on all politicians to delay efforts to form a new government until the demands of protesters seeking better services in the south are met. https://reut.rs/2LsCuvz
