    The giant glass slipper church of Taiwan
    A specail church opened in Taiwan which is created by Pan Tsuei-ping and what it makes this church specail is the what material it made with and how it looked
    He made a church which is surrended by glass but its not actullay special by building something with glass because nowadays, pretty much so many enginners use glass to build their building because it looks nice. But this guy designed this church which can be a specail place for everything. He made this church like a slipper and it looks awesome and i think its actually a funny idea as well. When did you saw a church which is different than building, which is really interesting? In my idea even it costed 477.000£ i think this is a fantastic chuch.

    President Hassan Rouhani said, hours after international nuclear sanctions were lifted.
    The move came after the international nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, said Iran had complied with a deal designed to prevent it developing nuclear weapons.
    Most Western governments hailed the move but Israel accused Tehran of still seeking to build a nuclear bomb.
    Four dual US-Iran nationals were released from jail by Iran on Saturday.
    They include Washington Post reporter Jason Rezaian, who was arrested in 2014 and jailed in November for espionage.
    Early reports said all four had left the country.
    However unnamed US officials later said that one of the four, Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari, was not on the plane headed for Switzerland.

But if you worry about your teeth coffee will be a better option than tea but it doesn’t mean it won”t harm your teeth. Just it makes your teeth less yellow and brown than a tea.
