Man charged with rape of 13 year-old girl in Slidell
SLIDELL- A registered sex offender, just released from prison a month ago, is behind bars again for raping a 13 year-old girl in Slidell.
Detectives say 23 year-old Bert Jones, AKA Daniel Jones, held the girl down and raped her.
Jones had just served 4 years behind bars after being convicted of Carnal Knowledge of a Juvenile.
Detectives believes Jones was preying on young females through social media and a local church group.
He is currently being held at the Slidell City Jail, and will be transported to the St. Tammany Parish Jail.
Slidell Police is asking anyone that may have had contact with Jones, to come forward.

Microstegium vimineumís germination, survival, and growth in closed-canopy deciduous forests.
Microstegium vimineum (Japanese stiltgrass) is a shade-tolerant exotic grass capable of invading closed-canopy deciduous U.S. forests. Its growth under shade is reduced compared to its growth under high-light conditions. Our research evaluated the germination, survival, and growth response of M. vimineum planted in fenced forests under four relatively low light levels: 1) closed-canopy, 1% of full sunlight), 2) low light, 2%, 3) medium light, 4%, and 4) high light, 5%. These light levels are typical of closed canopy deciduous forests, however, they differ by increased understory and subcanopy re-growth in the higher light treatments. We measured shoot heights of transplanted two-week old seedlings and tallied germinations in buried pots with and without litter cover every two weeks from early June until early August of 2009. We removed, dried, and weighed both shoots and roots. Germination rates without litter were higher in the high-light treatment than the control treatment, but below 8%. Germination rates with litter (6%) showed no significant difference among light levels. Mortality was due to herbivory (snails and small rodents). Low-light treatment shoots were significantly taller than those in the medium and control treatments. The high-light treatment did not differ significantly from the other treatments. The plants grown under the low-light treatment showed less herbivory than all other treatments. By the last week, low-light treatments averaged 30 shoots 15 cm or taller, while control, medium, and high-light treatments averaged 15, 21, and 16 shoots, respectively. The tallest shoot occurred in the high-light treatment at 30.0 cm, with the second tallest in the low-light treatment at 29.5 cm. Shoot and root dry weights did not differ significantly among the light treatments though the low-light treatment had the highest values. Microstegium vimineum survival and growth are impacted by herbivory in forested areas with greater understory cover, which suggests a healthy understory layer may not only keep light levels down but also facilitate predation of M. vimineum stems.

When pricing garage sale furniture, always keep in mind What it is worth to you to get rid of furniture you no longer want.
Where Should Pricing Begin?
Price garage sale furniture a little higher than the actual price you want to receive. Flexible pricing gives the shopper the ability to bargain with you and both of you will be happy about the final price.
You are not going to sell a lot of furniture if the customers feel it's overpriced. Buyers don't care about your personnel attachment or how much you originally paid for the item. So, consider the condition of the piece and price accordingly.
Guidelines for Pricing Garage Sale Furniture
Garage sale furniture generally sells for $5 to $50. Look at Craigslist, Goodwill, Salvation Army and thrift shops for pricing information.
An exception to pricing furniture for sale is when the piece is a valuable antique. In this case you should have the item appraised and professionally auctioned.
See a guide to pricing garage furniture at www.salvationarmysouth.org/valueguide.htm.

SUNDERLAND’S Future Technologies Centre has been given the official Government seal of approval.
Communities and Local Government Minister Baroness Stowell visited the new development, next to the Turbine Business Park, as part of a whistle-stop tour of the region hosted by the North East Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP).
During her tour of the centre, she met representatives from firms that have made it their home, including Smith Electric Vehicles, Hyperdrive Innovation, Tadea and ELM EV.
“The centre is really impressive,” she said. “The thing that I have picked up on during my visit is the enthusiasm and the drive that there is among everybody to expand on what is already happening here. You have got technology and research and development all under one roof.”
LEP chairman Paul Woolston accompanied the Baroness on her tour, which also took in the new Neptune’s Yard Enterprise Zone and the £7million Neptune National Centre for Subsea and Offshore Engineering, at Shepherd Offshore, on the North Bank of the Tyne.
She also visited automotive components manufacturer Mecaplast, in Peterlee, which has recently expanded its factory and doubled its workforce from 85 to 180, to handle significant new contracts from Nissan.
“Each of the sites on the Baroness’s tour has been selected to showcase key industries in the North East,” said Mr Woolston.
“It’s vitally important that politicians in London are aware of the difference these types of developments are making to the region’s economy.
“Mecaplast is among a number of initiatives to grow jobs that the LEP has financially supported.
“Investment of £1.9million from the LEP and the Regional Growth Fund allowed the company to buy new equipment and create more space for new employment.
“We should be proud of initiatives like this and the region’s position at the forefront of the low carbon vehicle and oil, gas and offshore sectors.
These are all industries which will support the region’s economic growth.”

Just released: Third Revised Draft Binding Treaty on Business and Human Rights
...The third revised draft treaty will be officially discussed at the seventh session of the open-ended intergovernmental working group on transnational corporations and other business enterprises with respect to human rights, which will take place from 25 to 29 October 2021. IOE will again represent the global business community in this session.
Despite strong reservations expressed by business and many states on the second draft, the third revised draft treaty continues to create divergence with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. This concerns the following points in particular:
- The third revised draft treaty continues to focus on the rights of the plaintiffs, but ignores the rights of the defendants, such as due process and confidentiality rights.
- The new draft continues to define a business relationship as “any relationship between natural or legal persons to conduct business activities, (…) including activities undertaken by electronic means”. Defining business relationships as “any relationship” expands the potential scope of diligence duties and liability imposed on companies to an impractical extent. This formulation will encompass entities in global supply chains with whom companies have no contractual relationship and over which and into whose operations the companies have no control or visibility...
- In a significant departure from the UN Guiding Principles, the new text continues to transform due diligence from a process-based standard to an outcome-based standard, which may, in some instances, be impossible for businesses to satisfy.
- The new text continues to extend liability not only to legal, but also natural persons.
- The new text continues to explicitly reject any “safe harbour” for companies that conduct due diligence, but still result in human rights abuses.
- The proposed scope of adjudicative jurisdiction continues to reflect a concept of extraterritorial jurisdiction so vast that businesses are faced with grave uncertainties as to where they may be taken into court and to which laws they may be subject. The new draft allows for concurrent jurisdiction in the country where the human rights abuse occurred, an act or omission contributing to the human rights abuse occurred; the legal or natural persons alleged to have committed an act or omission causing or contributing to such human rights abuse are domiciled; or the victim is a national of or is domiciled...The new draft again also explicitly rejects the doctrine of forum non conveniens.
- The new draft continues to grant the victim wide discretion to select the applicable law. Not only does this create uncertainties as to which laws will apply, it also creates issues of competence in that jurists in one country may not be equipped to interpret the laws of another.
- The new text continues to foresee the possibility of collective redress/class actions. However, the introduction of group lawsuits against companies is not a concept that is recognised in many legal systems.
- The new text continuous to require financial guarantees of companies to cover potential claims of compensations...

KLIK DI SINI UNTUK MENGHANTAR DALAM BAHASA MALAYSIA
On 10 June 2022, the Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department (Parliament and Law) Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar said that the government has agreed to abolish the mandatory death penalty and give judges discretionary powers. Since then, the Prime Minister Ismail Sabri and the Law Minister have said they will table the amendments in Parliament during the upcoming session that begins on October 3.
We welcome these announcements as an important step toward the full abolition of the death penalty, which is the ultimate cruel, inhumane and degrading punishment. We urge the Malaysian Government & Members of Parliament to:
- table the amendments without delay and seize this historic opportunity to end the use of the mandatory death penalty for all crimes, as an important step towards full abolition
- initiate an individual review of the cases of all individuals currently on death row with a view to determining alternative sentences, and not implement a blanket decision for all cases
- ensure that the alternative sentences that are introduced in place of the mandatory death penalty are in line with international human rights law and standards
- maintain the moratorium on all executions until the death penalty is fully abolished in Malaysia.
These announced legislative reforms represent a unique opportunity for Malaysia to make significant advances towards full abolition. Your action is needed to strongly encourage Malaysian leaders to ensure Malaysia joins the majority of countries globally in abolishing the death penalty


Bowlus Post Office closed due to possible mold
BOWLUS — Possible mold has shut down the Bowlus Post Office until further notice, according to the U.S. Postal Service.
The organization announced the emergency closure Sunday afternoon, citing health and safety concerns, said Kristy Anderson, strategic communications specialist.
The structure at 172 Main St. in Bowlus has visual evidence of water damage on walls, ceiling, building materials and floor coverings, Anderson said. There's evidence of deterioration in walls and windows, which could promote microbial growth.
The Postal Service is taking precautionary measures, Anderson said. A professional analysis will be able to confirm or deny the existence of mold.
Mold can cause a variety of health effects, especially for people who are allergic or sensitive to mold, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Exposure can cause nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing, wheezing, eye irritation and skin irritation. People with allergies, chronic lung disease and who are immunocompromised may have more severe reactions.
The Bowlus facility will be fully evaluated so the building's landlord can make repairs. It will be closed until all repairs can be made, Anderson said.
In the interim, street delivery, post office box delivery and retail services have been relocated to the Royalton Post Office, about six miles east. Customers can still drop outgoing mail in the Bowlus collection box.
The Royalton Post Office is at 208 East Centre St. It will be open 9:45 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8:15 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday. Bowlus customers will need photo ID to retrieve post office box mail.

The Mets play a lot of fast games thanks to good pitching. Now they’re going to try to do the opposite of that:
Sorry, I kid Dice-K because I’m a kidder. He’s actually been quite useful in Triple-A this year and it makes sense that the Mets would want him to eat some innings down the stretch so as to give Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler some rest.
He started 19 games with a 3.92 ERA and 95/39 K/BB ratio in 103 innings for the Columbus Clippers. That could play in the waning days of the Mets season.
The Cleveland Indians have released Mike Napoli.
This is not terribly surprising as he was seen as a depth move to begin with. Injury insurance for Yonder Alonso at first base and Edwin Encarnacion at DH, neither of whom are injured at the moment. Napoli was on a minor league contract and the Indians made it clear that, if he can’t find a major league job elsewhere, he’s welcome to come back and cool his heels in Columbus in the event he’s needed later.
Which may be what happens if he wants to keep playing because, after a season in which he hit .193/.285/.428, and a spring in which he hit .218/.310/.431, there aren’t likely to be a ton of takers.

First Run Features is always in first place. They make important moves, release important films. Check the case of the re-release of Cheryl Dunye’s landmark black queer film The Watermelon Woman.
Now remastered for its 20th Anniversary, with pristine 2K HD restoration overseen by 13 Gen, The Watermelon Woman will screen at Metrograph in New York City beginning Thursday,November 10. Following an international run on the LGBT festival circuit, the landmark film is connecting with a lively new generation of fans worldwide. First Run Features will then re-release the film on DVD and VOD January 31, 2017.
Set in Philadelphia, this is the story of Cheryl (Cheryl Dunye), a twenty-something black lesbian struggling to make a documentary about Fae Richards, a beautiful and elusive ’30s black film actress popularly known as “The Watermelon Woman.” While uncovering the meaning of Fae Richards’ life, Cheryl experiences a total upheaval in her personal life. Her love affair with Diana (Guinevere Turner), a beautiful white woman, and her interactions with the gay and black communities, are subject to the comic yet biting criticism of her best friend Tamara (Valerie Walker). Meanwhile, each answer Cheryl discovers about the Watermelon Woman evokes a flurry of new questions about herself and her future.
According to director Dunye, much about the character is autobiographical, but the historical references to the Watermelon Woman are fictional. “The idea came from the real lack of information about the lesbian and film history of African American women,” she explains, “Since it wasn’t happening, I invented it.”
The Watermelon Woman features cameo performances by notable LGBT figures including controversial cultural critic Camille Paglia, African American singer/songwriter Toshi Reagan, Pomo Afro Homo performer Brian Freeman, African American poet Cheryl Clark and novelist/activist Sarah Schulman.
The Watermelon Woman was Dunye’s first feature film and the first by a black lesbian. It was made on a budget of $300,000, financed by a $31,500 grant from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), a fundraiser and donations from friends of Dunye.

Entitled Bernstein: The Best of All Possible Worlds, the festival celebrating both the 90th anniversary of Bernstein's birth and the 50th anniversary of his appointment as the Philharmonic's music director will feature over 30 events from Sept. 24-Dec. 13, 2008.
In a statement Carnegie Hall's executive and artistic director Clive Gillinson said, "All of us at Carnegie Hall are very proud to be presenting — jointly with his great orchestra, the New York Philharmonic — this special celebration of Leonard Bernstein. Lenny appeared on Carnegie Hall's stage more than 400 times in his career, with audiences experiencing his talents as performer, composer, and master educator. Well beyond our walls, he inspired an entire generation, bringing music to the center of people's lives all around the world. A celebration of Lenny is a celebration of life and a celebration of music. His love of life and of music, allied to his insatiable curiosity, inspired everyone, informing our appreciation and understanding of music for a lifetime. We look forward to joining our partners in placing special focus on someone who was not only a remarkable artist and a great New Yorker, but also someone who truly belonged to the world. Lenny was music!"
New York Philharmonic president and executive director Zarin Mehta added, "Leonard Bernstein's New York Philharmonic legacy is like no other. From the moment of his legendary conducting debut in 1943 to his final concert, from the players on stage to adoring audiences in New York and around the world, Leonard Bernstein inspired nearly everyone he encountered. Even today, Lenny's legacy — as conductor, composer, and educator — continues to resonate throughout the New York Philharmonic. We look forward to celebrating Leonard Bernstein and his music with our partner, Carnegie Hall, and hope that all New Yorkers will join us."
The festival will kick off Sept. 24, 2008, when Carnegie Hall launches its 2008-09 season with an All-Bernstein Opening Night Gala. The evening will feature Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony as well as performances by Dawn Upshaw, Thomas Hampson and Yo-Yo Ma. Concertgoers can expect to hear selections from Fancy Free, A Quiet Place, On the Town, Wonderful Town, Candide and West Side Story.
On Nov. 14, 2008, the New York Philharmonic will present an all-Bernstein program led by music director designate Alan Gilbert. The evening will include Bernstein's music for the concert hall, theatre and film, including two West Side Story suites. The City Center Encores! series will also pay tribute to Bernstein with a semi-staged production of the classic Bernstein, Comden and Green musical On the Town. The musical comedy will play City Center Nov. 19-23, 2008.

The firm – which provides award-winning cloud accounting software to freelancers, micro-businesses and their accountants – believes that although the current proposals for Making Tax Digital will be ultimately beneficial for the UK’s SME sector, there should be more help provided to the smallest unincorporated businesses so they can manage the switchover.
In particular, FreeAgent believes that smaller businesses should be given additional time to prepare for Making Tax Digital, rather than facing the same deadline as larger companies who will be better equipped to make the changeover.
In its official response to the Government’s consultation over Making Tax Digital, FreeAgent recommended that all unincorporated businesses making less than £83,000 – the VAT threshold – should have an additional year to prepare before they have to adhere to the new digital tax regime.
It also recommended increasing the turnover threshold for the cash-basis reporting scheme to £166,000 – double the VAT threshold – to make Self Assessment easier for more UK businesses.
Ed Molyneux, CEO and co-founder of FreeAgent, said: “Making Tax Digital is a great opportunity for business owners to have proper clarity over their business finances and be better equipped to calculate and pay their tax bills. But it is also a major piece of legislation that will have a significant impact on the UK’s micro-business sector.”
“The government has ambitious targets in place for implementing its MTD strategy and getting people to start reporting their tax digitally, but I believe there needs to be more flexibility when it comes to smaller businesses. The average freelancer or micro-business owner doesn’t have the resources that a larger SME has to get themselves prepared for the switchover, and many will struggle to upgrade their processes in such a short timeframe.”
“We know that the very smallest businesses making less than £10,000 will be exempted from the scheme entirely, but we are now urging HMRC to help those in the next category up. We believe every business making annual turnover of between £10,000-£83,000 should have an additional year to prepare for MTD.”
“This will mean that HMRC can monitor how larger SMEs are managing the move to digital tax, without having to worry about large numbers of micro-businesses struggling to adapt to the changes or having issues with implementing new technology.”

A new pond-dipping area for visitors has been officially opened at RSPB Scotland Loch Lomond near Gartocharn.
The facility will allow people of all ages to discover some of the fascinating creatures that live hidden away underwater at the nature reserve.
Paula Baker, site manager at RSPB Scotland Loch Lomond, said: “Spring is a fantastic time of the year at Loch Lomond, with bluebells everywhere, ospreys overhead, red squirrels in the woods, and some very vocal cuckoos making themselves known!
"Down at our new pond dipping pool, we’ve had loads of tadpoles and some large red damselflies emerging too, so there’s plenty to see. We’re looking forwards to welcoming lots of new visitors this summer, and we’ve got some great events coming up for people to take part in."
As well as the pond dipping area, visitors might also notice a few new willow sculptures at the reserve, blending in beautifully with their natural surroundings. These new facilities have all assisted in RSPB Scotland Loch Lomond picking up a three star award from VisitScotland.
The new pond dipping facilities have been funded by the ScottishPower Foundation, which also supported the building of new paths at RSPB Scotland Loch Lomond last year.
Ann McKechin, Trustee and Executive Officer at the ScottishPower Foundation, said “We’ve been supporting the work of RSPB Scotland since 2014 and this new multi-use visitor structure at RSPB Loch Lomond will transform access for visitors, including many children, and help them to get even closer to Scotland’s wildlife.
"The RSPB dedication to inspiring a new generation to protect our natural world echoes the Foundation’s commitment to the advancement of environmental protection. It is a shining example of how we can ensure young people can learn about protecting our planet for future generations."
The pond dipping area was designed and managed by WWT Consulting, and built by BLC Ltd.
Go to the RSPB website for more information about the reserve, including details of upcoming events.

NSW Swift coach Briony Akle says she is not looking to take over from outgoing Diamonds coach Lisa Alexander anytime soon, declaring her head is "fully in Swifts land".
Netball Australia announced last Tuesday that it would be seeking a new head coach for the national team after nine years with Lisa Alexander at the helm, with Akle's name thrown around as a likely replacement as soon as the news broke.
"It's lovely to hear your name mentioned in that regard but for me, I'm about the Swifts," Akle told the Herald.
Last year, in just her second year as Swifts head coach, Akle was a finalist for coach of the year at the NSW Sports Awards and is regarded as one of the best coaches in Super Netball.
Alexander will coach the Diamonds for the final time against the Super Netball All-Stars in a bushfire relief game in Sydney on March 1, with Netball Australia already searching for a new head coach.
Under Alexander the Diamonds failed to claim victory at both the 2019 World Cup and the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
Akle said the decision by Netball Australia not to renew Alexander's contract was the result of high expectations of the Diamonds from boards and the netball community.
"Netball has had such great success and they demand success now," Akle said. "Losing those two competitions people start to ask questions around you know, 'why didn't we win, what went wrong?'"
"Because we dominate in netball so frequently ... the expectation is very high, the standards are very high both with the SSN [Suncorp Super Netball] and at that next national level."
Despite the two disappointments, Akle believed Alexander's record over her nine years in charge had "left a great legacy" for the sport, including a 2014 Commonwealth Games gold medal and 2015 Netball World Cup victory.
As a result, Akle admitted she was personally "surprised" by the news which broke ahead of pre-season match between the Swifts and the Waikato-Bay of Plenty Magic.
As a result, Akle was forced to break the news to the three Diamonds players on her squad.
"We wanted them to know before they found out on social media, so I didn't really give them time to react," Akle said. "I sort of just said, look, this has just happened, we need to focus on our Magic game."
Akle said she is yet to offer her condolences in person but messaged Alexander when she heard the announcement.
"I shot her a text message as soon as I heard just to sort of say well done a fabulous career, we sent that on behalf of the Swifts," she said. "The outcome... I didn't know that was coming, obviously, and the timing of it, I didn't know that was coming."
Netball Australia is hoping to have a coach appointed by mid-year ahead of the Quad Series in September, with chief executive Marne Fechner stating the decision was due to an "appetite for change".
"The high-performance landscape is ever-changing and increasingly competitive and we believe it’s in the best interest of the program to open up the role," she said last week.

Until recently, the Mandeville and Covington farmer’s markets provided the closest access for Abitans wanting to stock their fruit bowls and crisper drawers with fresh, organic, locally grown produce. With the arrival of a new farmer’s market in Abita, this is no longer the case.
“We are a market for creative, productive people,” said Michael Norman, coordinator of the new Abita Farmer’s Market. “We have lots of veggies, prepared food, baked goods, and handcrafted items.”
Unlike other markets that take place on busy Saturdays - a time when many families are working on necessary tasks such as yard work or running errands - the market in Abita is held on Sunday, which Norman believes will make it attractive to locals as well as to others from surrounding St. Tammany communities. “We meet on Sunday afternoon, which is a time when many people like to relax and do something enjoyable, “ said Norman.
“Our venue is beyond compare. Many people come out to the trailhead in Abita on Sunday afternoon to enjoy the park, let the kids play in the playground and bike ride on the (Tammany) Trace,” added Norman.
The Abita Farmer’s Market takes place every Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. at the Abita Trailhead in downtown Abita Springs. Vendors set up their booths or tables at various locations around the park, in the vicinity of the Trailhead Museum and in the shade of the pavilion. A Sunday afternoon “jam session” musician gathering - which takes place on the Abita Beer stage adjacent to the museum - is within earshot for shoppers to enjoy.
Recent weeks have seen a variety of vendors from St. Tammany and surrounding parishes, including Washington Parish’s Stoney Point Farms and Folsom’s Big Sky Ranch. The selection of goods is expected to grow as word spreads about the new event. Norman invites vendors to participate and indicates there is ample room for new sellers. He also points out that no restrictions will be placed on how many vendors of each type will be allowed, as is the case at many similar venues, including the market in Mandeville.
“All are welcome as vendors, provided they create the item they sell. Whether they grow, raise, bake, cook, paint, carve, or bring it to life in any other manner,” said Norman.
Although the market is just starting out, the response has been positive. “We are adding three to four vendors each week,” said Norman, “and the crowd is growing as word gets around. Most important, everyone is having fun.”
For many who attend farmer’s markets, the day is not just about local products; it is about local people. Often considered to be community-building functions, farmer’s markets springing up across the U.S. prove that healthy food and local goods can bring together people who would otherwise never meet.
Norman seems to agree that vibrant farmer’s markets give people a chance to connect.
“A local market is very important to our town,” explained Norman. “There is a growing movement in natural, locally grown food. The market brings people into the town, where they may visit any of the local businesses. The market also serves as a social gathering spot and serves as a medium for spreading all that is good about Abita.”

The part of the brain that seeks pleasure and avoids pain does not have the ability to reason. And so a struggle is created.
Job was a man who was sorely tested. No matter what hard things are happening in my life, when I read his story, I can’t help but feel like my life is not that bad!
While it is easy to engage in a gratitude practice when things are calm and quiet, it’s quite a different challenge to focus on things to be grateful for when life gets hectic, and it’s even harder to think of them when things go wrong.
You’ve got to believe that your spark of creativity and drive to achieve will take you to where you want to go. When it comes to setting goals and meeting challenges, the first and most important key to achieving success is the belief that you, in fact, can do hard things.
There is and always will be pain that is part of life, but we can find peace, hope and strength to persevere. I believe those gifts come when we can find an eternal perspective and purpose to apply to the challenges we are facing.
As a mom, it feels like we face battles starting from the moment we wake up, to the moment we head back to sleep. As such it is very important to choose if you wish to be a part of it or not.
Whether your child is a big kid or a little kid, transitions can be tough. It might be the start of school, a new activity, or group of friends. Listen in for specific ways to support your child and calm the chaos of tough transitions.
It’s probably not the best mental attitude to have, but I always worry when things are fairly stable in our lives and going relatively smoothly. Why? Because I know “opportunities for growth” are just around the corner. Take July, for example….
I don’t know why some of us seem to be measured out more struggle and trials than others. I don’t know why life seems so cruel and unfair to some while appearing to rain floodwaters of blessings on others…But, I do know that He loves us.

EghtesadOnline: The value of Iran’s mineral production will reach $22 billion by the end of the current fiscal year (ending March 19, 2020), says Deputy Industries Minister Jafar Sarqeini.
The country produced $20 billion worth of mineral products in the last Iranian year that ended on March 20, 2019.
According to Sarqeini, $9 billion of the total production last year were exported, while the remaining output worth $11 billion were consumed by domestic industries, IRNA reported.
The official expects exports to hit $10 billion this year, according to Financial Tribune.
Iran has the largest area under mineral exploration in the Middle East, according to Deputy Industries Minister Khodadad Gharibpour.
The Iranian Mines and Mining Industries Development and Renovation, the biggest state-owned mining holding of Iran, plans to cover 300,000 square kilometers of the country's explorable land for mineral explorations by the end of the current fiscal year.
IMIDRO carried out exploration over 270,000 square kilometers during President Hassan Rouhani's first term in office (August 2013-17).
According to Gharibpour, who is also the president of IMIDRO, 65% of Iran’s total explorable mineral areas (1 million kilometers) belong to the organization.
He noted that IMIDRO is expected to invest $3.9 billion in Iran's mining sector by the end of the current year, adding that 10,000 direct and indirect jobs will be created.
“This is while $2.1 billion worth of projects were implemented by IMIDRO in the last Iranian year [March 2018-19],” he said.
Ali Asgharzadeh, IMIDRO’s exploration manager, said the highest volume of explorations in Iran pertains to copper, iron ore and coal.
“The exploration budget is predicted to rise 10% in 2019 compared to 2018,” he said.
Gharibpour said half of Iran’s 600,000 square kilometers has undergone mineral exploration.
However, he noted that most mining explorations in Iran have been carried out at shallow depths, while deeper excavations would lead to a twofold increase in the discovery of mineral reserves.
According to Sarqeini, Iran aims to produce 550 million tons of minerals in the current fiscal year.
Iran is home to 68 types of minerals with more than 37 billion tons of proven reserves and 57 billion tons of potential reserves.
According to the United States Geological Survey, Iran holds the world's largest zinc, ninth largest copper, 10th largest iron ore, fifth largest gypsum and barite, and 10th largest uranium reserves.
Overall, Iran possesses more than 7% of global mineral reserves.
According to the Persian economic daily Donya-e-Eqtesad, Iran is home to nearly 10,000 mines, only 6,000 of which are active. The country’s mineral reserves stand at 60 billion tons, close to 40 billion tons of which are proven.
IMIDRO carried out 102,000 meters of mineral excavations related to iron ore, coal, bauxite, rare-earth elements, gold and copper during the last Iranian year (March 2018-19).
Mineral excavations cost 947 billion rials ($8.43 million), IRNA reported.
IMIDRO carried out mineral explorations over an area of 270,000 square kilometers from the fiscal 2014-15 to the end of the fiscal 2018-19. The organization plans to explore 300,000-310,000 square kilometers by the end of the current fiscal year (March 2020).
Steel Tops List of Mineral Exports
Semi-finished and finished steel products took the lion’s share of Iran's mineral exports in terms of value, as about 8.9 million tons worth about $4.11 billion were shipped overseas, up 3% and 17% YOY in volume and value respectively.
The category of “other mineral products” came second with about 9.75 million tons worth about $1.35 billion. The volume and value of shipments grew 15% and 9% respectively YOY.
Copper and downstream products came third with 365,070 tons worth about $917.53 million, down by 52% in tonnage and up by 13% in value YOY.
These were followed by cement with about 13.71 million tons valued at $420.25 million, up 3% and down 17% in tonnage and value respectively YOY.
Exported mineral commodities from Iran during the period under review were iron ore concentrate with 5.87 million tons worth $380.95 million, stones with 5.87 million tons worth $342.13 million, metals with 207,050 tons worth $318.6 million, iron ore (fines/lumps) with 8.84 million tons worth $258.75 million, zinc with 121,220 million tons worth $255.81 million, iron ore (pellet) with 2.78 million tons worth $201.92 million, aluminum with 92,490 tons worth $178.05 million, lead with 99,030 tons worth $128.01 million, direct-reduced iron with 533,620 tons worth $105.17 million and ferroalloy with 50,440 tons worth $73 million.
Coal and coke with 425,420 tons worth $72.61 million, chrome with 316,870 tons worth $55.46 million, molybdenum with 3,140 tons worth $32.94 million, pottery and bricks with 85,940 tons worth $11.44 million, antimony with 930 tons worth $1.78 million, titanium with 150 tons worth $0.39 million, mining equipment with 100 tons worth $0.2 million, alumina powder with 220 tons worth $0.16 million, precious metals with 50 tons worth $0.16 million, mica with 80 tons worth $0.04 million and nickel with 10 tons worth $0.03 million were some of the other major mineral exports.
$3.5b Worth of Imports
According to IMIDRO, a total of 3.34 million tons of mineral products worth $3.57 billion were imported into Iran last year, down 41% in tonnage and 34% in value year-on-year
Steel also had the largest share among Iran's mineral imports during the year in terms of value, as 1.32 million tons worth $1.28 billion were imported, down 56.7% and 44% in tonnage and value respectively YOY.
The category of "other mineral products" came second with 682,320 tons worth $583.11 million, down 32.1% in volume and 29.9% in value YOY.
Mining equipment was next with 22,750 tons worth $249.66 million, down 40% and 0.3% in tonnage and value respectively YOY.
Imported commodities included ferroalloy with 179,930 tons worth $233.53 million, aluminum with 109,300 tons worth $217.63 million, coal and coke with 658,360 tons worth $202.23 million, metals with 70,930 tons worth $179.06 million, alumina powder with 312,950 tons worth $176.67 million, titanium with 44,860 tons worth $134.5 million, pottery and bricks with 37,170 tons worth $110.45 million, lead with 15,310 tons worth $42.79 million, stone products with 36,790 tons worth $39.08 million and cement with 46,490 tons worth $34.09 million.
Zinc with 95,870 tons worth $29.18 million, nickel with 1,520 tons worth $24.62 million, copper and downstream products with 1,870 tons worth $17.42 million, chrome with 2,880 tons worth $7.07 million, antimony with 260 tons worth $2.67 million, $1.37 million of precious stones, molybdenum with 70 tons worth $1.14 million, mica with 910 tons worth $0.66 million and DRI with 320 tons worth $0.34 million were some of the other major mineral imports.

I was highly impressed with the characters of Sivia and Keeley. The supporting characters of Brad, Marcy and Todd added so much in-depth character to the overall development of this story. I feel this is a book that every teenager should read. There are so many life lessons in this one book that it is a very eye opening experience. Ann Herrick is a wonderful author who has allowed her readers to go into the lives of a set of high school teenagers. It is refreshing to see how they experience their own way of finding the love they deserve."

Gambling Online is a popular pastime that offers the opportunity to play casino games, sports betting and fantasy sports from the comfort of one’s home. It can be fun and exciting but can also pose serious risks, especially when a person is addicted to gambling. In order to protect against these dangers, it is important for people to recognize the signs and symptoms of gambling addiction.
Symptoms of gambling addiction include a lack of interest in other activities, lying about the extent of their gambling activities to friends and family, and persistent financial loss. Those who suffer from excessive gambling may also experience symptoms of depression and anxiety, which can worsen their overall mental health. This can result in poor performance at work and school, and strained relationships with family members and friends.
There are several different treatment options for those who struggle with gambling addiction. Support groups and counseling services can provide a safe space for individuals to discuss their struggles and receive guidance from trained professionals. Self-exclusion programs allow individuals to voluntarily ban themselves from accessing gambling websites, helping to reduce temptation and increase control. Additionally, financial counseling can help individuals manage debts accrued through gambling and develop strategies for budgeting and saving.
Another advantage of gambling online is that it is convenient and accessible to people from anywhere in the world. All that is required is a computer or mobile device and an internet connection. This is a great benefit for people who live in areas where land-based casinos are not available or who have busy schedules that make it difficult to travel long distances.
The online gambling environment is monitored by gaming commissions to ensure that all games are fair and payments made on time. In addition, the security measures that are used by online gambling sites protect players’ personal information. This is essential for preventing identity theft and fraud.
In addition, the online gambling industry is expanding to offer a variety of different games and betting options. This provides more choices for players and increases the likelihood that people will find a game they enjoy playing. The social aspect of gambling is also an appealing feature for many people. This is because it gives them an opportunity to interact with other gamblers and build relationships that are similar to their own. Moreover, it is possible to find gambling sites that cater to specific demographics such as women and minorities. This makes it easier for these people to find a game they enjoy playing and potentially win money. Therefore, it is important for people to consider these factors when choosing a gambling site. Taking an online assessment tool is one way to find out how much gambling has become a problem for you. This will ask you a series of questions and give you a personalised report on your behaviour. You can then decide on a course of action from there. You can also get help from a local gambling support service or contact the charity Victim Support.
