Controlled reopening ends Iran’s lengthy stock market shutdown | US-Israel war on Iran News

Published by Sam Flores

Tehran, Iran – A near-three-month closure of Iran’s stock market has ended with two days of a controlled reopening among some restrictions for investors. Although Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s sessions of the Tehran Stock Exchange allowed investors to generate some liquidity, underlying economic troubles were also evident. A little more than a third of the market’s main players were absent, reportedly to protect shareholders from the effects of the United States-Israel war. A total of 42 ticker symbols for companies representing about 36 percent of the market were offline, Securities and Exchange Organization deputy supervisor Hamid Yari told state media, adding that trading windows were extended by one hour on both days to facilitate the reopening. While Yari said he is hoping for an end to lengthy market closures, this might not be possible if attacks break out again and authorities are forced to intervene. Those absent from the reopening included the Fajr and Mobin petrochemical giants, the Khuzestan and Mobarakeh steel giants, utility firms and investment companies that had a large part of their portfolios …

Princess Eugenie delighted fans by announcing she is expecting her third child with her husband, Jack Brooksbank, this summer. While she comes from a family of four, with her parents, Sarah Ferguson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, having two children, herself and her older sister Princess Beatrice, Eugenie has decided to follow in the footsteps of several other royals by expanding her family. For example, the Prince and Princess of Wales are parents to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, and Zara and Mike Tindall share Mia, Lena and Lucas.

9 Reasons People Raised In The 60s And 70s Were The Last Kids With A Beautiful Childhood Only They Controlled

Published by Jenni Sidey

The world is vastly different now than it was in the late 1900s. Our society generally embraces progress, and a lot of the advancements we’ve made deserve to be celebrated. Innovations in fields like science and medicine have benefitted all of us. New technology has also made childhood look pretty different, but not everyone is convinced that’s a good thing. In fact, most parents and teens agree that it’s harder to live life as a teen now than it was before. But whether it was a lack of technology or having to rely on themselves to get by, there are many reasons people raised in the 60s and 70s were the last kids with a beautiful childhood only they controlled. They had truly unique upbringings that weren’t tainted by so many of the things we worry about negatively impacting kids today. Here are 9 reasons people raised in the 60s and 70s were the last kids with a beautiful childhood only they controlled 1. They didn’t have social media MAYA LAB | Shutterstock The first …

Bronze Age Chinese Foundry Was State Controlled, Archeologists Say

Bronze Age Chinese Foundry Was State Controlled, Archeologists Say

Published by José Betancourt

During China’s Bronze Age (c. 2070 – 771 B.C.), the durable alloy was an indispensable resource, central to the development of early Chinese civilization. Under the Zia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, China developed advanced metallurgy techniques and, along with them, systems for managing them at scale. The Bronze age in China was thus not only characterized by its bronze tools and weaponry, but by its advanced social and political structures. As reported in the China Daily, excavations over the last two years at the Shenduntou archeological site near the Yangtze River have unearthed around 1,000 artifacts linked to the bronze industry under the Zhou dynasty. While more modest than the ritual bronze vessels prized by museums, these artifacts—simple knives, arrowheads, and broken clay molds—suggest a major metal-working site. Related Articles “The discovery of numerous bronze-casting remains proves this was a high-level workshop,” says Wang Zhigao, an archaeology professor at Nanjing Normal University, who is leading the excavation project. Perhaps even more interesting to Wang and his team was evidence of a “state controlled” system of …

Smoked cannabis reduces immediate alcohol consumption in controlled laboratory trial

Smoked cannabis reduces immediate alcohol consumption in controlled laboratory trial

Published by José Betancourt

Smoked cannabis directly reduced the amount of alcohol heavy drinkers consumed during a controlled laboratory experiment. The research indicates that acute marijuana intoxication may decrease the immediate urge to drink and delay the onset of alcohol consumption. These findings were published in the American Journal of Psychiatry. Public health experts track the concurrent use of alcohol and cannabis closely. Across the country, expanding legalization has made cannabis the most popular psychoactive substance after tobacco for people who consume alcohol. Many individuals engage in both habits, and a strong overlap exists between those who struggle with alcohol use and those who face challenges regulating their cannabis intake. In recent years, a social trend has emerged where people attempt to manage their alcohol habits by substituting cannabis instead. Pop culture sometimes refers to this practice as becoming “California sober.” This movement aligns with a broader push toward harm reduction, and it has fueled a rapid expansion in the market for cannabis-infused beverages marketed as alcohol alternatives. Despite this cultural shift, previous observational studies produced conflicting results regarding …

The House | “Every Movement Was Controlled”: The Quiet Rise In Children Under Deprivation Of Liberty Orders

The House | “Every Movement Was Controlled”: The Quiet Rise In Children Under Deprivation Of Liberty Orders

Published by Sam Flores

Illustration by Tracy Worrall 10 min read31 min There has been a 13-fold increase in the use of court orders that deny children freedom to move and associate in the last seven years. Justine Smith explores the reasons behind this huge increase in what are supposed to be emergency orders Hundreds of children with the very highest level of need are being locked away from society, often in illegal, unregistered homes with a rolling rota of untrained staff, because of shortages in therapeutic care. These children can be controlled through frequent physical restraint and denied basic rights such as contact with family and friends or an education, the ultimate victims of a care system in crisis. They are held under Deprivation of Liberty (DoL) orders, which were designed to give special legal powers to local authorities to restrict the freedom and rights of children and teenagers considered to be an extreme risk to themselves or others. The orders are handed down through the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court, not criminal courts, but …

CERN achieves first controlled movement of antiprotons

CERN achieves first controlled movement of antiprotons

Published by skeptic

A major breakthrough by the BASE experiment could enable precision antimatter research beyond CERN. A team of physicists working on the BASE experiment at CERN has completed the first successful demonstration of transporting antimatter in a controlled environment. The group managed to move a container holding antiprotons across CERN’s main campus while maintaining the particles’ stability – an achievement that marks a significant technical milestone in experimental physics. The test involved relocating a compact trapping system loaded with 92 antiprotons. Researchers disconnected the apparatus from its host facility, transported it by truck, and resumed operations without losing the particles. Given that antimatter annihilates instantly upon contact with ordinary matter, maintaining confinement during motion represents a substantial engineering and scientific advance. Why transporting antimatter could revolutionise science Antimatter remains one of the most puzzling subjects in modern physics. While its properties mirror those of ordinary matter, with opposite charge and magnetic characteristics, the observable Universe is overwhelmingly composed of matter. This imbalance contradicts expectations from early-Universe models, which suggest equal quantities of both should have formed …

Get the inside track from Roisin O’Connor with our free weekly music newsletter Now Hear This Get our free music newsletter Now Hear This Get our free music newsletter Now Hear This It’s become a common observation in conversations about current music: where did the men in pop go? Contrarians might argue that over the last few years we’ve had Benson Boone’s backflipping, Alex Warren’s aggressive ordinariness and, on the alternative side, Sombr’s laidback 2000s indie. Indeed, a void has to be filled somehow. But the gender scales were always going to feel dramatically tipped in favour of the Charlis, Sabrinas and Rosalías… until Harry Styles sauntered back onto the stage tonight in a little blue jumper and daisy print shirt, here to celebrate his new album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally. Only he could elicit this level of guttural screaming: painful, blood-curdling shrieks at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena that, after 75 minutes, leave your ears aching. The order of play is this: a full run through of Styles’s muted disco-pop LP, then a …
