History Main article: History of Iran
Persia emerged in the 6th century BC under the Achaemenid dynasty as a vast empire that controlled an area from India to Greece. It was conquered by Alexander the Great, but soon after Persia regained its independence in the form of the Parthian and Sassanid Empires. The latter was defeated by Islamic Arab forces in the 7th century AD, who were followed by Seljuk Turks, the Mongols, and Tamerlane.
The 16th century saw renewed independence with the Safavids and then other lines of kings or shahs. During the 19th century Persia came under pressure from both Russia and the United Kingdom and a process of modernisation began that continued into the 20th century. The last shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, sought to further modernise Iran, but his autocratic rule led to revolution and overthrow of his regime in 1979 and the establishment of an Islamic republic under the Ayatollah Khomeini.
The new theocratic regime instituted many conservative and often repressive Islamic reforms, as well as engaging in an anti-Western course, in particular against the United States. In 1980 Iran was attacked by neighbouring Iraq and the destructive Iran-Iraq War continued until 1988. In more recent years Iranian politics has seen a dispute between reformists and conservatives over the future of the country.
Politics Main article: Politics of Iran
Since the revolution of 1979 the Iranian head of state is the Leader of the Revolution or faqih, or in absence of a single leader a council of religious leaders. They are elected from the clerical establishment on the basis of their qualifications and the high popular esteem in which they are held. The faqih appoints the six religious members of the 12-member Council of Guardians, as well as the highest judicial authorities and is commander-in-chief of the armed forces.
The president is elected by universal suffrage to a 4-year term by an absolute majority of votes and supervises the affairs of the executive branch. All presidential candidates must be approved by the Council prior to running. After his election, the president appoints and supervises the Council of Ministers (the cabinet), coordinates government decisions, and selects government policies to be placed before the parliament. The Council of Guardians certifies the competence of candidates for the presidency and the parliament.
The unicameral Iranian parliament, the Islamic Consultative Assembly or Majles-e-Shura-ye-Eslami, consists of 290 members elected to a 4-year term. The members are elected by direct and secret ballot. All legislation from the assembly must be reviewed by the Council of Guardians. The Council's six lay-members, all lawyers appointed by parliament, vote only on limited questions of the constitutionality of legislation; the six religious members consider all bills for conformity to Islamic principles. Political parties are technically illegal, though many informal organisations of politically like-minded people exist.
Provinces Main article: Provinces of Iran[?]
Iran consists of 28 provinces (ostanha, singular - ostan):
Geography Main article: Geography of Iran
The Iranian landscape is dominated by rugged mountain ranges that separate various basins or plateaus from one another. The populous western part is the most mountainous, with ranges such as the Zagros[?] and Elburz Mountains[?], the latter of which also contains Iran's highst point, the Damavand[?] at 5,607 m. The eastern half consists mostly of uninhabited desert basins with the occasional salt lake[?].
The only large plains are found along the coast of the Caspian Sea and at the northern end of the Persian Gulf, where Iran borders on the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab. Smaller, discontinuous plains are found along the remaining coast of the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz and the Arabian Sea. The Iranian climate is mostly arid or semiarid, though subtropical along the Caspian coast.
Economy Main article: Economy of Iran
Iran's economy is a mixture of central planning, state ownership of oil and other large enterprises, village agriculture, and small-scale private trading and service ventures. The current administration has continued to follow the market reform plans of the previous one and has indicated that it will pursue diversification of Iran's oil-reliant economy.
The strong oil market in 1996 helped ease financial pressures on Iran and allowed for Tehran's timely debt service payments. Iran's financial situation tightened in 1997 and deteriorated further in 1998 because of lower oil prices. The subsequent rise in oil prices in 1999-2000 afforded Iran fiscal breathing room but does not solve Iran's structural economic problems, including the encouragement of foreign investment.
Demographics Main article: Demographics of Iran
Almost two-thirds of Iran's people are of Aryan origin and speak one of the Indo-Iranian languages, though only Persian (Farsi), which is written in the Arabic alphabet, is an official language. The major groups in this category include Persians (51%), Gilaki and Mazandarani[?] (8%), Kurds (7%), Lurs[?] (2%), and Baluchi (2%). The remainder are primarily Turkic people such as the Azeri (24%) and Turkmen (2%), but also include Arabs (3%), Armenians, Jews, and Assyrians and others. Arabic, being the language of the Qur'an, is taught in schools as well.
Most Iranians are Muslims; 89% belong to the Shiite branch of Islam, the official state religion, and about 10% belong to the Sunni branch, which predominates in most Muslim countries. Non-Muslim religious minorities include Baha'is and Zoroastrians, both being religions that originated in Iran, as well as Jews and Christians. Only the latter three are officially recognised minority religions. Iran's population size increased dramatically in the latter part of the 20th century.

The wealthy are using pawn shops to finance their business ideas
Posted on March 6, 2018
- Wealthy people looking to fund new ventures are turning to their Rolexes and art collections as collateral for quick and easy loans from high-end pawn shops.
- Business owners say the trend points less to financial distress and more to customers eager to seize money-making opportunities.
Wealthy people looking to fund new ventures are turning to their Rolexes and art collections as collateral for quick and easy loans from high-end pawn shops.
The handful of lending companies tapping into the trend let their affluent clients take quick thousand-dollar or million-dollar loans with high-end collectibles as collateral. That's far greater than the average loan size of $150, according to the National Pawnbrokers Association. Business owners say the way the luxury goods-backed loans are growing points less to the financial distress associated with pawn shops and more to seize money-making opportunities.
The pickup in economic growth has shifted the balance toward small business owners growing their businesses, said Jordan Tabach-Bank, CEO of Beverly Hills-based The Loan Companies.
Growth is "certainly geared more towards opportunity loans than anything else," Tabach-Bank said in a phone interview. His company operates brick-and-mortar high-end pawn shops in Beverly Hills, Chicago and New York. Business is doing so well that he's considering opening a fourth location.
In another sign, Denver-based Luxury Asset Capital said it launched an online version called Lux Exchange in late January and has secured a credit line of $50 million from a family office.
A big part of the job is "educating the affluent consumer that they have all these assets sitting in their closet," said Dewey Burke, president and CEO of Luxury Asset Capital.
One of his clients was able to use his watch collection to seal a commercial real estate deal. This client spent 10 years trying unsuccessfully to purchase a piece of property, Burke said. When it suddenly came up for sale last year, the client had just one week to close.
No bank would provide a loan in such a short time, Burke said. But after the client mailed in "four very, very high-end luxury" watches, Burke's company was able to provide him with $400,000 in 48 hours.
Some clients also leave their luxury goods with Lux Exchange for a service that acts like a revolving line of credit.
"Often times if I talk about my business, the assumption is that people borrowing money from you, they must be in a bad spot. That's simply not true," Burke said. "We also and more often deal with business owners that are growing."
Global wealth is on the rise as equity markets have run into record high territory, and prices for luxury goods are climbing. Last fall, a da Vinci painting sold for more than $450 million, the most expensive piece of art sold at an auction, according to Christie's. In December, a vintage Rolex formerly owned by Oscar-winning actor Paul Newman set the record for the most expensive wristwatch sold at an auction — $17.75 million.
Individuals are also using high-end pawn shops to use their existing collectibles to buy more.
"They're able to fund the passion with the passion, versus using assets that would be used for other purposes. It makes a lot of sense for me," said Morgan Duffy, president of Hayden Wood Insurance Agency, which focuses on the car collection market.
Sometimes using a traditional lender has resulted in not being able to make a purchase at all.
One of Duffy's clients had $20 million worth of cars, and saw that the 18th out of 19 cars in one line was coming up for sale at an auction in four weeks. "He had tied up all his liquidity in business pursuits" and didn't have the roughly $3 million for the car, Duffy said. "Even with providing evidence of what his collection included, we couldn't get the traditional lender to wrap his head around it in time to purchase the car for his collection."
But the overall trend for high-end pawnbrokers appears to be entrepreneurs needing large amounts of capital quickly.
In Houston, Pamela Wright of Wright Pawn & Jewelry said loans in the last nine months grew 20 percent from the same period last year, mostly driven by luxury goods. She said some of the business loans were for:
- a young woman who needed to patent and create a cosmetic product that now sells through the QVC television shopping network;
- a man who needed to purchase a car to become an Uber driver;
- a woman who started a successful delivery service.
"There does seem to be an increase in clients patenting ideas to take to market," Wright said. "It's not just the sandwich shop down the street. These are people that are thinking outside the box."

Americans last week followed news about the struggling economy and the resignation of Rep. Anthony Weiner from Congress more closely than other top stories, while the early stages of the 2012 presidential election led news coverage for this first time this year.
Two-in-ten (20%) say they followed reports about the condition of the U.S. economy most closely, while 16% followed developments in the Weiner scandal that closely, according to the latest weekly News Interest Index survey, conducted June 16-19 among 1,003 adults by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
About one-in-ten (11%) say news about the 2012 presidential election was their top story. Coverage of the potential candidates, driven in large part by the Republican debate in New Hampshire, accounted for 15% of coverage, according to a separate analysis by the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ). Coverage of the economy made up 12% of the newshole, while Weiner's resignation accounted for 9%. One week earlier, the Weiner story, including his acknowledgment that he had sent sexually-suggestive photos and messages online to at least six women, was the top story with 17% of coverage.
Romney Most Heard About GOP Candidate
With last week's coverage focused on the June 13 GOP debate, about a quarter of the public (23%) say they followed news about possible candidates for the 2012 presidential elections very closely. One week earlier, 18% said they were tracking candidate news this closely.
Mitt Romney is clearly the candidate the public says they are hearing the most news about, while mentions of Sarah Palin have plummeted over the past two weeks. About a quarter (27%) offer Romney's name when asked which candidate they have heard the most about recently. That rises to 36% among Republicans. During the first week of June, 22% of the public and 34% of Republicans said they were hearing the most about the former Massachusetts governor.
In early June, the public was about as likely to say they were hearing the most about Palin (20%), but mentions of the former Alaska governor have dropped to just 8%. Among Republicans, 11% currently name Palin, down from 20% in early June.
Smaller numbers offer other names; 5% each say they have heard the most about former Speaker Newt Gingrich or Rep. Michele Bachmann. Among Republicans, 6% say they heard the most about Bachmann, while 3% say they have heard the most about Gingrich. In mid-May, Gingrich and Donald Trump were the potential candidates the public was hearing the most about. Trump has since said he will not run.
Romney also received more coverage than other GOP contenders. According to PEJ's analysis of election news, Romney was the lead newsmaker – featured in at least 50% of the story – in 19% of election stories. Gingrich, Bachmann and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty were each the lead newsmaker in about 8% of stories.
The Week's News
About four-in-ten (39%) say they followed news about the U.S. economy very closely last week. That matches the number that said this one week earlier, amid continuing signs the recovery has slowed. News about the economy accounted for 12% of coverage.
Two-in-ten (20%) say they followed news about Weiner's resignation very closely. Still, more than half (52%) say they followed this Washington scandal not too (24%) or not at all closely (28%). Partisans are about equally likely to say they followed this story very closely, as are men and women. The scandal accounted for 9% of coverage.
About a quarter (24%) say they very closely followed news about the debate in Washington over whether to raise the federal debt limit; 8% say this was their top story. Republicans are more likely to say they followed this news very closely than Democrats (30% vs. 20%). About a quarter of independents (24%) say they followed it as closely. The debate over the debt limit accounted for 2% of coverage, according to PEJ.
Nearly two-in-ten (18%) say they very closely followed news about the continuing anti-government unrest and violence in a number of Middle Eastern countries; 7% say this was the news they followed most closely. News about Middle East unrest made up 6% of coverage.
One-in-ten (10%) say they very closely followed news about the financial crisis and violent protests in Greece; 3% say this was the story they followed most closely. News about Greece's financial situation accounted for 4% of the coverage analyzed by PEJ.
These findings are based on the most recent installment of the weekly News Interest Index, an ongoing project of the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. The index, building on the Center's longstanding research into public attentiveness to major news stories, examines news interest as it relates to the news media's coverage. The weekly survey is conducted in conjunction with The Project for Excellence in Journalism's News Coverage Index, which monitors the news reported by major newspaper, television, radio and online news outlets on an ongoing basis. In the most recent week, data relating to news coverage were collected June 13-19, and survey data measuring public interest in the top news stories of the week were collected June 16-19 from a nationally representative sample of 1,003 adults.

Within the framework of the JGI Mycorrhizal Genomics Initiative (MGI) project, we are sequencing a phylogenetically and ecologically diverse suite of mycorrhizal fungi (Basidiomycota and Ascomycota), which include the major clades of symbiotic species associating with trees and woody shrubs. Analyses of these genomes will provide new insights into the diversity of mechanisms for the mycorrhizal symbioses, including ericoid-, orchidoid- and ectomycorrhizal associations. A large collaborative effort led by PI of these project, Francis Martin (INRA), aims for master publication(s) of the MGI data analyses. Researchers who wish to publish analyses using data from unpublished MGI genomes are respectfully required to contact the PIs and JGI to avoid potential conflicts on data use and coordinate other publications with the MGI master paper(s).

The United States Food and Drug Administration announced on Tuesday that they will require new sunscreen labelling in order to identify the products that are best for decreasing the risk of skin cancer.
Based on the new rules, sunscreens that protect its users from UVA and UVB rays will be classified under "Broad Spectrum" sunscreens. FDA officials explained that both UVA and UVB rays cause skin damage; however, UVB rays are the main cause of sunburn.
Manufacturers of sunscreens will also be required to indicate sun protection factor (SPF). Those with less than SPF 15 could not claim that they help thwart sunburn, cancer, and premature skin aging.
The director of the Center for Drug Evaluation of the U.S. FDA, Dr. Janet Woodcock, said that sunscreens that meet their standards can now advertise their product as a tool that can help reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging when used with other sun protection methods. The new labels, however, may not be seen until next summer, she added.
On the other hand, sunscreens with SPF of less than 14 and are not Broad Spectrum must indicate in their labelling that their product is not proven to decrease risks of skin cancer and sunburn. Woodcock also said that the said labels will be added on the drug fact box. She also said that sunscreens can no longer be referred to as "sunblocks" to avoid the impression that they offer complete protection from the harmful rays of the sun.
