Rising Tensions in Lebanon: Beirut Explosions Under Investigation, War Crimes Allegations Surface

As the matter regarding the explosions of pagers and wireless devices in Beirut the capital city of Lebanon is being taken for examination and study, before that could happen we have seen already the US chicken out from this by saying that it has no knowledge of this and it is under investigation. UK has asked the UN to refer this to the ICJ as a war crime and we will have more on this after a response from the UN officially.

Having said this the whole process could take time before a draft is being written in the UNSC to be taken for voting by the members of the UNSC. That on one side the war seems to have been escalated to the North of Israel as already troops have been moving to the place bordering Lebanon. Still to come and is being widely expected to hear from the Secretary General of the Hezbollah later on today.

Opinions are being discussed as to the nature of this war can lead to with the latest technological warfare. Reports from the Lebanese Health Ministry shows the number of death until now at 32 and the injured including children and the elderly to be anywhere between 2000 and 3000. The Lebanese Government has banned the use of pagers and wireless mobile phones in all flights. Later today we expect to hear from Secretary General of the Hezbollah. Israel Government has not taken responsibility for these blasts so far in the last 72 hours in Lebanon.

Banking & Finance: Mint

In the world of banking, a mint is not a place where coins are made, but rather a term used to describe a financial institution that has been granted permission by a central bank to issue banknotes. This role is also known as a note-issuing bank or a currency board. The concept of a mint in banking is rooted in the history of currency. In the past, coins were minted by governments or private entities, and they served as a means of payment and a store of value. However, as economies grew and trade expanded, the demand for larger denominations of currency increased. This led to the development of banknotes, which were issued by private banks as a way to facilitate transactions and provide a convenient alternative to coins. As the use of banknotes grew, governments became concerned about the potential for inflation and the impact of private banknote issuance on the overall stability of the economy.

Kamala Harris: Missing the Moment to Define Her Leadership

Transcript: The recent debate featuring Kamala Harris and Donald Trump was an important moment for the Democratic nominee to solidify her position as a leader. Yet, instead of seizing the opportunity to project confidence and vision, Kamala seemed to falter, weighed down by personal fears and memories of long-standing struggles. A key point that stood out was how Kamala Harris seemed to forget the very words she once made her mantra in her career as a prosecutor: "Kamala Harris for the people." These five words, often repeated by her during her time in courtrooms, represented her fight for justice and equality. However, during the debate, this sense of purpose seemed absent. The stage was set for her to remind everyone why she was the candidate for all people, but she failed to deliver a message that would resonate on that larger stage. Rather than focusing on a forward-thinking vision, Harris spent much of her time reflecting on the negatives, particularly issues of racism, ...

Finance & Banking: Brief history of the modern bank

The history of the modern bank can be traced back to ancient times when people used various methods of storing and exchanging wealth. One of the earliest forms of banking originated in Mesopotamia around 2000 BC, where temples served as the first lenders. These temples provided loans to farmers in the form of grain or silver, with interest rates varying depending on the time of repayment. In ancient Egypt, the precursor to modern banking emerged with the establishment of grain banks that stored surplus crops and provided loans to farmers during periods of scarcity. These banks also served as intermediaries for international trade, exchanging goods for gold and silver. The concept of banking continued to evolve in ancient Greece and Rome, with moneylenders and wealthy individuals offering loans to merchants and traders. The Romans, in particular, developed a sophisticated banking system that included the issuing of promissory notes, letters of credit, and the establishment of the first ...
