Persian resources:
Need to organize these links, a mess at the moment.
Also need to gather rest of links, and get them all up here.
Need to add better description of links.

These two links have many educational links for persian students (pdfs)
Skip first drop down (red triangle), and dig through rest.
I think first link may be some kind of key to view pdfs? Using sumutra so I
don't have to worry about it.
Has math, arabic, science, english, learning materials and tons more, for
persian speaking students

http://translate.google.com/#fa/en/
On bottom left of input box, there is a keyboard. If you click it
a persian keyboard will pop up. You can either click on keys or
just start typing, as you keyboard should now be a persian keyboard.
(Good way to learn persian key locations, use keyboard, rather than
using mouse)
