You’re on trial in Iran for making My Favourite Cake. You were in court this morning. What happened?
Behtash Sanaeeha: We were supposed to be in court. But there is very high air pollution in Tehran today, so the government closed all public buildings.

What are you charged with?
BS: We have three charges against us. One is propaganda against the regime, another is breaking Islamic rules by making a vulgar movie. And the third is spreading prostitution and libertinism. It’s ridiculous.

Best films of 2024 in the UK: No 2 – My Favourite Cake
Thu, 19 Dec 2024 08:00:08 GMT

This powerful and important film highlights the brutality of the Iranian regime with a gentle strength of its own

The best films of 2024 in the UK
More on the best culture of 2024

On the face of it, the Iranian film My Favourite Cake falls into the Hollywood category of heartwarmer. A lonely widow meets-cute with a widower. They have a sweet, tender moment together back at her apartment so she can bake him her favourite cake. It’s the kind of film that shouldn’t be controversial. And yet this movie, as well as being wonderfully written and performed by its leads, Lily Farhadpour and Esmaeel Mehrabi, and very moving in showing all the late-life yearnings of two people condensed into a single evening, is the most dangerous and passionate of the year.

Its co-directors, Maryam Moghaddam and Behtash Sanaeeha, have had their passports taken away by the Iranian authorities and they have been placed under house arrest, having been subject to hours of interrogation – a situation very similar to that of that other Iranian movie titan, Jafar Panahi. Last summer, the Iranian security forces raided the home of the film’s editor and seized hard drives. (Fortunately, copies of the film were also stored in Paris – that traditional home of Iranian cinema’s dissident spirit, and the bridgehead for its presence on the European festival circuit.)

Most Frequently Asked Questions About NFTs(Non-Fungible Tokens)
Sun, 06 Feb 2022 10:04:00 +0000

 

NFTs

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are the most popular digital assets today, capturing the attention of cryptocurrency investors, whales and people from around the world. People find it amazing that some users spend thousands or millions of dollars on a single NFT-based image of a monkey or other token, but you can simply take a screenshot for free. So here we share some freuently asked question about NFTs.

1) What is an NFT?

NFT stands for non-fungible  token, which is a cryptographic token on a blockchain with unique identification codes that distinguish it from other tokens. NFTs are unique and not interchangeable, which means no two NFTs are the same. NFTs can be a unique artwork, GIF, Images, videos, Audio album. in-game items, collectibles etc.

2) What is Blockchain?

A blockchain is a distributed digital ledger that allows for the secure storage of data. By recording any kind of information—such as bank account transactions, the ownership of Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), or Decentralized Finance (DeFi) smart contracts—in one place, and distributing it to many different computers, blockchains ensure that data can’t be manipulated without everyone in the system being aware.

3) What makes an NFT valuable?


The value of an NFT comes from its ability to be traded freely and securely on the blockchain, which is not possible with other current digital ownership solutionsThe NFT points to its location on the blockchain, but doesn’t necessarily contain the digital property. For example, if you replace one bitcoin with another, you will still have the same thing. If you buy a non-fungible item, such as a movie ticket, it is impossible to replace it with any other movie ticket because each ticket is unique to a specific time and place.

4) How do NFTs work?

One of the unique characteristics of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) is that they can be tokenised to create a digital certificate of ownership that can be bought, sold and traded on the blockchain. 

As with crypto-currency, records of who owns what are stored on a ledger that is maintained by thousands of computers around the world. These records can’t be forged because the whole system operates on an open-source network. 

NFTs also contain smart contracts—small computer programs that run on the blockchain—that give the artist, for example, a cut of any future sale of the token.

5) What’s the connection between NFTs and cryptocurrency?

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) aren't cryptocurrencies, but they do use blockchain technology. Many NFTs are based on Ethereum, where the blockchain serves as a ledger for all the transactions related to said NFT and the properties it represents.5) How to make an NFT?

Anyone can create an NFT. All you need is a digital wallet, some ethereum tokens and a connection to an NFT marketplace where you’ll be able to upload and sell your creations

6) How to validate the authencity of an NFT?

When you purchase a stock in NFT, that purchase is recorded on the blockchain—the bitcoin ledger of transactions—and that entry acts as your proof of ownership.

7) How is an NFT valued? What are the most expensive NFTs?

The value of an NFT varies a lot based on the digital asset up for grabs. People use NFTs to trade and sell digital art, so when creating an NFT, you should consider the popularity of your digital artwork along with historical statistics.

In the year 2021, a digital artist called Pak created an artwork called The Merge. It was sold on the Nifty Gateway NFT market for $91.8 million.

8) Can NFTs be used as an investment?

Non-fungible tokens can be used in investment opportunities. One can purchase an NFT and resell it at a profit. Certain NFT marketplaces let sellers of NFTs keep a percentage of the profits from sales of the assets they create.

9) Will NFTs be the future of art and collectibles?

Many people want to buy NFTs because it lets them support the arts and own something cool from their favorite musicians, brands, and celebrities. NFTs also give artists an opportunity to program in continual royalties if someone buys their work. Galleries see this as a way to reach new buyers interested in art.

10) How do we buy an NFTs?

There are many places to buy digital assets, like opensea and their policies vary. On top shot, for instance, you sign up for a waitlist that can be thousands of people long. When a digital asset goes on sale, you are occasionally chosen to purchase it.

11) Can i mint NFT for free?

To mint an NFT token, you must pay some amount of gas fee to process the transaction on the Etherum blockchain, but you can mint your NFT on a different blockchain called Polygon to avoid paying gas fees. This option is available on OpenSea and this simply denotes that your NFT will only be able to trade using Polygon's blockchain and not Etherum's blockchain. Mintable allows you to mint NFTs for free without paying any gas fees.

12) Do i own an NFT if i screenshot it?

The answer is no. Non-Fungible Tokens are minted on the blockchain using cryptocurrencies such as Etherum, Solana, Polygon, and so on. Once a Non-Fungible Token is minted, the transaction is recorded on the blockchain and the contract or license is awarded to whoever has that Non-Fungible Token in their wallet.

12) Why are people investing so much in NFT?


 Non-fungible tokens have gained the hearts of people around the world, and they have given digital creators the recognition they deserve. One of the remarkable things about non-fungible tokens is that you can take a screenshot of one, but you don’t own it. This is because when a non-fungible token is created, then the transaction is stored on the blockchain, and the license or contract to hold such a token is awarded to the person owning the token in their digital wallet.

You can sell your work and creations by attaching a license to it on the blockchain, where its ownership can be transferred. This lets you get exposure without losing full ownership of your work. Some of the most successful projects include Cryptopunks, Bored Ape Yatch Club NFTs, SandBox, World of Women and so on. These NFT projects have gained popularity globally and are owned by celebrities and other successful entrepreneurs. Owning one of these NFTs gives you an automatic ticket to exclusive business meetings and life-changing connections.

First Thing: 51 men found guilty in Pelicot mass rape trial
Thu, 19 Dec 2024 11:32:39 GMT

French husband jailed for 20 years over abuse of Gisèle Pelicot. Plus, Human Rights Watch accuses Israel of genocide for restricting Gaza water supply

Good morning.

A panel of judges has declared all of the 51 defendants in France’s mass rape case to be guilty, after a three-month trial that sent shockwaves around the world.

Who are the men convicted of rape and assault? They include a soldier, a nurse, a butcher, a truck driver, a supermarket worker and dozens more. But the Pelicot children have said they are “disappointed by the low sentences”, Agence France-Presse reports.

What happens now? “The surge of united feminist feeling that has risen throughout France is a springboard from which we can continue our battle for equality and justice,” said Clémence Guetté, the vice-president of France’s national assembly.

Follow our live coverage here.

What levers could Trump pull to attack critics? He could use the justice department and Internal Revenue Service to target non-profits and researchers, launch politically motivated investigations and pass legislation to restrict their activities.

What have Trump’s nominees for top government roles said? Kash Patel, Trump’s nominee for FBI director, has vowed to “come after” media outlets and non-profits that he falsely claims “helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections”.

George McDonagh travelled there to see how people were reacting. He met Gareth Edwards, who had spent 30 years working there and was worried about the thousands of jobs that could be lost.

Tata said it was losing £1m a day at the site and that a change to greener electric arc furnaces, which change scrap metal into new steel, was needed. But in Port Talbot there was fear that this would mean they were destined to follow the fate of other steel towns that have slumped into decline once the furnaces closed.

My mother has schizophrenia and there’s a chance I could too. Am I right to want biological children?
Wed, 18 Dec 2024 15:00:07 GMT

I’m not ambivalent about having kids because I’m afraid for their mental health. It’s because I’m afraid for my own

One recent afternoon, I went with a friend to pick up her five-year-old from art class. Our progress walking home was slow. Her daughter wanted to examine every leaf. She wanted to say hello to every stranger. She wanted to be in the shade but not walk in the sun to get there. It took 20 minutes to travel a block, even longer to make the next.

My friend did not get frustrated and neither did I. It felt like a privilege to watch them together. A privilege to see this woman, whom I’d known since we were 23 and making bad life decisions, be a really good mom in her late 30s.

For six years, afraid of reprisals, the town has grieved in silence for loved ones lost to chemical attacks and countless others killed by conventional weapons.

Will Japan’s close ties with US survive the caprice and quirks of Donald Trump?
Thu, 19 Dec 2024 05:00:08 GMT

Japan’s complex defence alliances built up over years as protection against China could be put at risk in a Trump-launched trade war

Arguably, no country in Asia has better reason to be in a state of anxiety over the return of Donald Trump to the White House than Japan, since the US has been the linchpin of Japanese foreign and security policy since the second world war.

Back in 2017, well before he became prime minister, Shigeru Ishiba described Trump’s method as one of “placing his counterpart in a state of anxiety and tension, creating psychological instability and then initiating a deal”.

Paul, an Indonesian fisherman, says he was working as a rideshare driver in the dusty streets of Kupang in West Timor when he came across half a dozen Chinese men on the side of the road. They were wet up to their waist, carrying a backpack each, and spoke no Indonesian.

“They had walked from the beach, from the mangrove forest to the main road. They said they had difficulty with their boat engine,” Paul recalls. They asked for directions to a nearby hotel … and went on their way. Paul, a former people smuggler from Rote Island, called the police. “I used to bring people like this.”

While Dan Sabbagh tells Michael Safi what we know about the extent of Chinese spying in the UK and how it works, David Pegg examines how the scandal unfolded and caused Tengbo’s meetings with everyone from Prince Andrew to Theresa May to be put under scrutiny – and why, for the man at the centre of the story, it is all an unfair smear on someone who loves the UK and only wants to build better business relations between the UK and China.

The Guardian view on North Koreans dying for Russia: an alarming alliance gains strength | Editorial
Wed, 18 Dec 2024 18:24:40 GMT

For Pyongyang, dead soldiers are a price worth paying for the rewards of friendship with Moscow

A few years ago, it would have sounded fantastical to suggest that massed North Korean soldiers would fight on a European battlefield – as a Ukrainian commander noted last month. Yet about 10,000 are now thought to be fighting for Moscow, and on Tuesday a US official reported that “several hundred” had died in Russia’s Kursk region.

North Korea has one of the largest armies in the world, with more than 1.25 million personnel in a country of just 26 million. Despite its extraordinary nuclear and missile achievements, much of its vast stockpile of weaponry is thought to be out of date – though that hasn’t stopped it shipping as much as $5.5bn worth of arms and ammunition to Russia. The military has not engaged in large-scale combat since the end of the Korean war in 1953. At home, soldiers spend significant time trying to acquire food or basic supplies, including fuel.
