Shohreh and her Daughter
It is coming from Los Angeles, where Iranian artists have turned into rock and roll revolutionaries delivering a message to the young people of Iran.
"The freedom they get by connecting to their artists and their music gives them hope that beyond those borders there is love, there is life, there is freedom," Madadian told NBC LA.
Madadian, who goes by the single name "Andy," has seen how the fans love it. They show up at his concerts by the thousands and throw off their headscarves and inhibitions as they jam with their favorites.
Andy said he is not a political artist and he only sings songs of following your heart and your passions, but he acknowledged that anyone delivering that message might also seem like a threat to the repressive mullahs in Tehran. Daughter
New York Times Square
Painted, near-naked ladies on the prowl for cash in exchange for pictures in Times Square angering tourists
An out-of-control influx of near-naked women jockeying for tips has turned Times Square into the XXX-Roads of the World — shocking children and incensing legions of tourists and New Yorkers alike. The expanding cadre of topless talent — wearing only a thong, a thin layer of paint and a smile — fight it out with the usual cast of amateur Buzz Lightyears and Spider-Men for souvenir photographs at $10 to $20 a pop. “It’s inappropriate,”July 14, their numbers nearly doubled to 40 as the line between tasteful nudity and blatant exhibitionism became ever blurrier. Most of the ladies, in a patriotic show of pulchritude, sport the American flag across their breasts — but a growing number of critics aren’t saluting their multicolored mammaries.
Gripers says the women are shakedown artists, aggressively trying to collect a tip in return for a brief Broadway photo op.
“I understand New York is all about self-expression,” said Parfait Mutimura, a New York banker who objected to the topless troupe working Saturday.
“But there are a lot of kids out here,” he said. “They could keep these women in a different spot, away from the Disney characters, but they wouldn’t make as much money. That’s what this is about, right?”
Even the Naked Cowboy has seen enough.
“There’s so many boobs,” sighed Robert John Burck, “you don’t look at them anymore.”
Over two days, the topless ladies were spotted repeatedly surrounding groups of tourists — seemingly ignoring the presence of children.
Leech Oil
For hundred of years the native man of Malaya/Java - the elite and adepts who usually keep 4 wives - have been using a special ointment to care for their penis and maintain its virility.
This traditional method and remedy have a striking similarity with the practice of desert Arab men known for their sexual prowess as explained in Sir R F Burton's translation of Sheikh Umar el-Nefzawi book entitled "Rawd at-Tirr" or in English, The Perfumed Garden. In chapter 17 of this classical Tunisian-Arab sex-journal of the 16th century, it expounded on how the penis can be made bigger and stronger with this massage oil:
" Prescriptions for Increasing the Dimensions of Small Members and for Making Them Splendid ....a fourth remedy is based upon the use made of leeches (Hirudo Medicinalis) but only of such as live in water (sic). You put as many of them into a bottle as can be got in and fill it up with oil. Then expose the bottle to the sun until the heat of the same has effected a complete mixture. With the fluid thus obtained, the member is to be rubbed several consecutive days and it will, by being thus treated, become of a good size and of full dimensions. The efficacy of all these remedies is well known and I have tested them."
The original Javanese recipe differs from that mentioned in Karma Sutra. The original Javanese recipe indicates that the leech and other herbs must be cooked inside fresh green coconuts and boiled over charcoals. This concoction eventually becomes a concentrated oil which is dark and thick. Masters of the art of penile enhancement have dwindled greatly in Indonesia. Original formulas have passed to descendents. Much more highly guarded are the mantras which are used to psychically enlarge the organ during the use of the oils. The good oils that we carry will leave behind a film of oil to protect your instrument from the cold of the environment. Coldness can penetrate the penis to render it weak. This is especially true when a man takes a shower, a swim or leaving the penis wet after sex.
A 60ml bottle can last for one and a half to two months at least.
You should see some permanent increase in around 40 days. After 40 days, the gains will be reduced by about 20%. The treatment should be continued for another 1-2 cycles to further the gains until the optimum size is reached (which varies from man to man) and thereafter the gains will be permanent.
Please note that once a man reaches 60 years old, the penis, like other muscle parts start to loose mass. Continued use of this natural oil helps to maintain muscle mass. Maintenance use need not be daily. Once every 2-3 days is sufficient. The oil is not only for size gain but for the protection of the organ from deterioration.
Iran Vs. Sweden
The PSG frontman, who scored an incredible overhead kick against England in 2012, attempted to score a similarly impressive acrobatic goal but was foiled twice by the Iranian defence.
However, Ibrahimovic did find the net at the Friends Arena, heading home at the back post to give Sweden the lead on 11 minutes.
Sweden's No 10 scored and made another in a slick first-half performance, where the vast majority of the 33,773 crowd at the Friends Arena were cheering for the away team.
Sweden is home to more than 60,000 people who were born in Iran, and together with their children and grandchildren they packed the stands, outnumbering the Sweden fans and creating a cascading wall of noise for much of the match.
Ibrahimovic silenced them, albeit temporarily, when he gave Sweden the lead in the 11th minute.
His clever pass found Erkan Zengin, whose chipped return was powerfully headed home by the Sweden captain at the far post, despite the best efforts of Iran goalkeeper Alireza Haghighi to keep it out.
Shahnaz
To get a glimpse behind the official party lines, Bossan decided against taking the photos himself. Instead, he asked 15 young photographers already living in the country to document the Iran they know better than anyone.
“Not many [outsiders] know,” says Bossan, “because unless you are going to be traveling inside the country — say you have a friend and you have the possibility to go to a dinner with some Iranians in a private house — you will see another kind of country. I don’t like to invite someone to shoot a world they don’t know. I believe that it’s better that somebody shoot or tell a story about what they know.”
In March of 2013, as the country’s election approached, Bossan and a colleague created a private Facebook page where young Iranian photographers could submit their portfolios. They got more than 60 applications, and after visiting the country to hold meetings and clandestine workshops the list was finally shortened to 15. Each photographer had their own ideas and proposals for the project — Bossan’s job was to curate their ideas and coach the photographers remotely as they gathered the images that eventually made up the book. One requirement was that they had to document the lives of people they knew, to share their personal view of authentic daily life.
