A former student (now teacher) recently shared that I handed her the idea that every person is worth knowing. ... more »

Iraq Oil Exports Up In June But Prices Dip

Joel Wing at MUSINGS ON IRAQ - 12 hours ago
Iraq’s oil exports were up slightly in June, but a slight dip in prices meant revenues were down. Petroleum exportswent from 3.489 million barrels a day in May to 3.521 million in June. That was the highest rate since December 2017. Prices however dropped from $69.80 per barrel in May to $69.32 in June. That caused profits to decline from $7.551 billion in May to $7.323 billion in June. Despite the dip, Iraq is still earning more than what is set in the 2018 budget, which will mean the country will run a surplus after a few years of deficits due to the collapse in the internation... more »

Peter at Bayou Renaissance Man - 14 hours ago
I'm sure many readers have seen the alarm expressed by commentators on both sides of the political divide about our present political situation.
