Iran Develops New Type of RIP Bullet with Greater Lethality

Iran Develops New Type of RIP Bullet with Greater Lethality

The homegrown bullet was unveiled during a recent visit that Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri paid to an exhibition of achievements of the Defence Industries Organization of Iran.

Hailed as an effective one-shot manstopper, the RIP bullets reduce the risk of ricocheting by exploding upon entry into several razor-sharp fingers.

The RIP bullet is manufactured with trocar edges with three angles reaching one point. Upon impact, the bullet breaks apart along the multiple grooves, creating penetrating projectiles.

This technology maximizes the bullet’s transfer of energy to the target and minimizes the chances that pieces of the bullet will exit the object at dangerous velocities.

Since the small fragments lose energy quickly and therefore pose very little danger to any secondary target, the RIP bullet is a perfect option for operations against aircraft hijacking.

The airline security personnel require a round that could shoot down a target while not damaging the fuselage of a commercial airliner.

The RIP bullet allows the security forces to increase damage to vital organs of the target without having to shoot at it several times.

However, the Hague Convention prohibits the use of RIP and other expanding bullets in the international warfare.

Gas Explosion at Iranian Wedding Kills 11, Injures 40

In remarks late on Thursday, the spokesman for Iran’s emergency medical services, Mojtaba Khaledi,  said the deadly explosion of a gas heater at a wedding hall in the western city of Saqqez in Kurdistan occurred at 21:30 (local time) on Thursday.

Immediately after the incident was reported, eleven ambulances were dispatched to the scene, the official added.

“Unfortunately, 11 people lost their lives and 42 others were injured,” Khaledi said, adding that the wounded were taken to the nearest medical centers after receiving prehospital care from emergency specialists.

The governor-general of the Kurdistan Province, Bahman Moradnia, declared a day of public mourning following the “painful incident”.

“The Thursday night’s painful incident in Saqqez that left a number of our beloved compatriots in the province dead and wounded is undoubtedly one of the most bitter incidents in recent years,” he noted.

5 Possible Causes of Debt, and How to Address Them

5 Possible Causes of Debt, and How to Address Them

However, more often than not, debt arises as a result of life circumstances. Case in point: Here are five possible causes of debt and how to address them.

What Causes Debt?

The narrative of debt always being a problem of overspending is cut-and-dry. It says people with debt have brought it upon themselves through voluntary spending habits. Again, sometimes this is true. But this theory fails to account for many key causes of debt.

Here are just five potential causes of debt.

  1. Rising Cost of Living: About a quarter (23 percent) of Americans are running up credit card debt to pay for basic necessities like rent, food and utilities. The cost of living has risen disproportionately to wages, which means money isn’t going quite as far these days. It’s completely understandable to find yourself overwhelmed by debt simply trying to keep a household running day to day.
  2. Marriage/Divorce: Marriage and divorce each bring a respective set of expenses. Weddings and honeymoons can cost thousands of dollars — and divorce proceedings require paying an attorney for their time. A change in marital status can also simply bring a disruption to your routine, which makes room for debt to wriggle in.
  3. Medical Bills: Did you know most bankruptcies in the U.S. actually stem from medical bills? Whether you’re insured or not, exorbitant medical bills can crop up at any time. Oftentimes, all it takes is one visit to the emergency room or one procedure not covered by insurance to kick off a cycle of debt.
  4. Credit Card Usage: It’s easy to get into the habit of putting purchases on a credit card and vowing to pay it “next time you get paid” or “next month.” Problems start to arise when interest accrues and compounds, making it increasingly more expensive to pay off your balances.
  5. Loss of Income: One day you may have a job, the next you may not — it’s an unfortunate reality we all have to consider. Losing your main source of income can put a huge strain on your financial health, especially if you have several non-negotiable bills to pay every month, like rent/mortgage and car loan.

This just scratches the surface as to why people get into debt. But one thing is clear: It’s unfair to say debt is simply a matter of miscalculation or overspending. It’s a complex issue with roots in many different areas of life.

How to Address Your Debt

Debt can come from many sources. But how can you go about addressing it? The short answer is it depends on the amount and types of debt you’re facing.

According to Freedom Debt Relief reviews, many people who have enrolled in debt settlement programs cited medical bills and credit card debts as their reasoning for doing so. This is because settlement — which involves negotiating with creditors to lower how much you actually owe — only works for unsecured debts.

Consolidation is also a possibility, either by transferring high-interest credit card balances to a card with low or zero-percent interest or by taking out a loan and using it to repay the rest of your outstanding debts. To get approved for a consolidation loan, be aware you’ll need to provide proof of income.

Bankruptcy is an option in extreme cases where repayment in full is impossible — but treat this strategy as a last resort because it will damage your credit for years to come.

Understanding why you’re in debt is the first step toward choosing the most advantageous solution for your specific situation.

Here’s all you need to know to bring your adventures on the go, as well as all your Old School Runescape gold (OSRS Gold) and inventory.

What You Need

First, you’ll need a phone running an OS that’s at least Android 6.0 or equivalent. If you’re not sure, check it in your phone’s settings. Be warned though, the phones with the bare minimum of requirements might not support future updates. They either won’t be able to fully update the app, or have some features unsupported. Since it’s still in development, there will be some compatibility issues as well.

Second, you’ll need a RuneScape membership. Those who are enjoying its benefits in the PC version may join the beta without any delay. Free-to-play players will either have to wait for the official release or pay for the membership. It’s up to you if you think the benefits of the package is worth it or not.

As for iOS users, you have to wait until next year for a chance. There’s no set date for release, so watch out for the news about this.

The Benefits of a Mobile Version

For the developers, it’s an avenue to open the doors to a new audience. OSRS mobile version brought an influx of new players to the PC version. That’s after they discovered the game through the app store. From the player’s perspective, that means new friends. If you had friends that were resistant to play the game on a desktop, you can introduce the app first.

Also,RuneScape is cross-play enabled!

What does that even mean? Well, it means you can seamlessly transfer your progress in-game from PC to mobile, and vice versa. If you’ve used your commute to farm or level skills, you can fire up your PC at home to continue and charge your device. Otherwise, it could go in reverse. You’re playing on your desktop and someone invites you out. Instead of lamenting the loss of grinding time, you can just log in to RuneScape on your device and go meet your friend.

This Runescape mobile version is beneficial, so be sure to leave good feedback! Jagex wants to know what works and what doesn’t. It’s all for the betterment of the game. They want RuneScape to be the best it could be. Your reports will help them figure out problems or improve on what’s already working well.

JCPOA Joint Commission Wraps Up Meeting with Final Statement

The statement was issued by Secretary General of the European External Action Service (EEAS) Helga Schmid, who was the coordinator of the meeting.

The meeting chaired by Schmid was attended by delegates from China, France, Germany, Russia, Britain and Iran at the level of deputy foreign ministers and political directors.

In the statement, signatories to the JCPOA acknowledged Iran’s compliance with the agreement over the past 14 months since the US illegal withdrawal from the deal and the re-imposition of sanctions on Iran. The parties to the JCPOA underlined that the nuclear deal is a multilateral agreement and a key element in the global nonproliferation structure. The signatories also voiced deep concern over certain developments, namely Iran’s reduction of its commitments under the JCPOA.

Also in the statement, all signatories stressed the importance of the full and effective enforcement of the JCPOA by all parties and their determination to follow up on efforts to preserve the agreement. In a meeting in New York a few months ago attended by foreign ministers of signatories to the JCPOA, the participants underscored the significance of securing Iran’s economic benefits under the JCPOA, strongly urging Tehran to take all necessary steps to fully live up to its nuclear commitments and stop adopting measures to reduce its obligations.

In the Vienna statement, member states also stressed the role of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as the watchdog to verify Iran’s obligations under the JCPOA and UN Security Council Resolution 2231.

The signatories also underlined their collective responsibility to keep implementing key nonproliferation projects that are a major part of the JCPOA.

They also touched upon recent developments pertaining to Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility and expressed their unflinching support for Russia’s efforts to press ahead with running stable isotopes projects.

Parties to the JCPOA also welcomed a decision by Belgium, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden and Norway to join the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX) mechanism, which is aimed at facilitating legal trade with Iran in order to meet the needs of people.

The signatories also appreciated recent diplomatic efforts aimed at easing tensions. They said all parties should show enough flexibility in order to help these efforts bear fruit.

They also discussed the necessity of tackling serious challenges related to the JCPOA within the framework of the agreement itself.

Chairman of the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran Hamid Zadboom says the value of Iranian exports to neighboring Iraq amounts to one-fourth of the Arab country’s total imports.

“Twenty-five percent of the import market in Iraq is held by Iran, as the value of the Iranian goods make up $10 billion of the total of $40 billion in import into Iraq,” he told Fars.

Highlighting efforts to increase Iran’s share in the Iraqi market, Zadboom said the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran has for the first time dispatched a commercial attaché to the Iraqi city of Basra.

Iran has the potential for a big rise in the volume of exports to Iraq, he added, citing the difficult trade conditions caused by the US sanctions.

The official finally expressed optimism that Iran would boost exports to Iraq according to the plans, saying the Islamic Republic is expected to gain a larger share of Iraq’s import market by the next year.

The 5th edition of Festival of National Cultures kicked off in the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad on Thursday.

The Iranian Minister of Science, Research and Technology, the ambassadors of foreign countries, and faculty members and students from the Ferdowsi University have participated in the festival.

In an address to the opening of the event, Gholami said the festival provides an opportunity to familiarize various nations with each other’s traditions and cultures, adding, “This festival could bring the nations closer together, and lead to the scientific exchanges.”

The minister also expressed Iran’s pride in hosting university students from around the world, saying Iran has been known as the cradle of science by hosting the world’s oldest and first university, namely the Jundishapur University.

He also noted that the Iranian universities and higher education centers have stood in the 16th place in the world rankings of science in 2019, saying the Islamic Republic’s standing in the rankings is expected to improve in the years to come in light of the scientific researches and achievements of the domestic universities.

Iran has ranked high among the pioneers of biotechnology, nanotechnology, aerospace sciences, stem cells, and the basic sciences, Gholami added, saying it indicates that the Iranian universities are suitable academies for the foreign researchers and students in terms of science and culture.

The minister finally called on the Iranian universities to enhance scientific diplomacy to accept more students from different countries and to elevate the country’s scientific position in the world.

The 5th edition of Festival of National Cultures is attended by more than 2,000 students and language learners from 29 countries exhibiting their national cultures and traditions at the Ferdowsi University of Mashhad.

Iran Raps US Interference in China’s Affairs

Iran Condemns Expansion of EU, US Sanctions on Syria

In a statement on Friday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Seyyed Abbas Mousavi slammed the recurrent acts of interference by the US in the internal affairs of the independent countries, particularly in those of the People’s Republic of China.

“With its shameful record of genocide of Native American people, the enslavement of African Americans, massacre of domestic sects, the massacre of Muslims in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Palestine and Yemen, as well as pardoning the war criminals, the US is not qualified at all to make comments about the ethnicities, races and Muslims,” he added.

“The repetition of such brazen violation of the well-recognized principles of international law is simply a reminder that interference in the internal affairs of the other nations has become a tenet of the US’ norm-violating foreign policy,” he added.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman further condemned a recent bill the US Congress has passed against China, and warned the international community against a growing trend in such measures which threaten the global peace and stability.

Mousavi finally advised the independent nations to react to the US government’s recurrent violation of norms and unbridled unilateralism.

On Tuesday, US lawmakers approved the so-called Uygur Intervention and Global Humanitarian Unified Response Act (UIGHUR Act) of 2019, which commands the US administration to identify and sanction officials deemed responsible for their involvement in the alleged mass internment of members of ethnic minority groups in China’s Xinjiang Uygur region.
