PROTESTS IN IRAN

-

In recent weeks, numerous highly destructive protests have erupted in many cities across Iran due to the death of a young woman named Mahsa Amini. The woman was killed a few days after being arrested for breaking the hijab law. The official version says that the woman suffered a heart attack but the victim's family said she was perfectly well before the arrest. Suggestions arose that the woman might in fact have been killed.


Iran's tumultuous protests are nothing new. Obviously, this case affects much more women who have protested against the hijab law more than once in Iran, but yet with very little success. Hence the question, why these protests would change anything? So far, a total of 60 people have been killed in protests, both policemen and ordinary citizens. This is the first time any upheaval against the law in Iran has produced such results. Additionally, taking into account the progress of today's world (even taking into account the strength of faith and the fairly clear backwardness of Iran towards the rest of the world in the sphere of citizens' freedom), we may have suspicions that this time the protests will not be wasted. The situation is developmental and it is certainly not going to end soon.

JERRY JONES PHOTO

A few days ago, the entire sports world was outraged by a photo in which Jerry Jones, an 80-year-old American entrepreneur best known for being the owner of the Dallas Cowboys - NFL team, almost 65 years ago, took part in an attempt to stop black students from entering his high school. Due to the fact that he is a public figure and one of the few owners of professional sports clubs willingly appearing in front of the camera, this photo gained popularity in the blink of an eye. Even faster, people began to question whether someone like this - an alleged racist - should not only be in the limelight but also occupy any decision-making position in a serious organization. The sports world is extremely divided on this matter with a slight majority of people having allegations against the businessman. However, looking at this situation, shouldn't the fact that this "prostest" took place almost 70 years ago - when racism was basically praised - be put in the first place? The situ...

How does crypto market work? In recent posts I explained to you what crytpo is and on what is it build - the blockchain of course. Today it is time to dive into a little bit of details and get to know what is crypto market and how does it work. Cryptocurrencies market are decentralized markets that allow people to buy, sell, transfer, store  or just spectate crypto flow. The fact that they are decentralized means that they are not controlled or backed by any higher authority or individuals such as the government. Instead they run across a network of computers. It means it is nothing like stock market, crypto market works on its own and is up and working 24 hours, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. A good example of cryptocurrency market is 'Coinbase'.

Sources say that Takeoff took part in an argument that broke off because off a misunderstanding while playing dice game. The brawl turned into a shooting and Takeoff was the one that became a victim of that. The whole rap world is in tears and expresses it's sadness in memory of the artist. Takeoff was 28 years old. We have heard stories like this a lot in the past, 2Pac, Biggie, and many more. It is not the first and unfortunately probably not the last time a popular persona related to music andmedia dies as a result of a shooting. It sadly shows how inhuman, brutal and evil the enviroment, from which the celebrities coming from poverty, gangs, etc. really is. Takeoff was a great artist that gained legendary status while he was alive. All we can do now is pray in loving memory of him and hope tragedies like this won't happen in fu...
