The tournament was held in women’s lead, women’s bouldering, women’s speed, men’s lead, men’s bouldering and men’s speed sections.

Speed climbing is a race in its purest form. Two contestants face each other while moving up the ice in this disciple, and the faster climber wins.

Bouldering is a form of rock climbing that is performed without the use of ropes or harnesses. Most climbers, however, use climbing shoes to help secure footholds, chalk to keep their hands dry, and mats to prevent injuries from falls.

Children

Iranian parliamentarian Homayoun Hashemi has underlined the necessity of setting up an ad hoc committee to deal with health issues pertaining to street children, reports ICANA.

He said the committee should comprise members from the ministries of welfare and health, among others.

The lawmaker said all street children should be vaccinated against hepatitis, adding the measure should be handled by the Health Ministry.

“According to the head of the country’s Hepatitis Network, street children’s risk of contracting hepatitis is at least three times higher than that of ordinary people,” said the MP.

“So, to ensure public health and hygiene, street and scavenger children should be identified, rounded up and supported seriously,” he said.

He further said there are no precise figures on the number of street children.

“We should have my-drugs-blog.com on these children and present those figures to the ministries of health, cooperatives and social welfare as well as the Rehabilitation Organization to help handle their problems, including their vaccination,” he said.

He then criticized the use of the phrase “children of labour,” saying it is illegal to use that phrase.

He said all institutions in charge should help protect street children against social maladies and health problems.

Bahram Qassemi

“The claim by the Saudi foreign minister that Iran is sabotaging efforts to establish peace in Yemen is absurd and unfounded,” Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Monday.

He made the remarks in reaction to anti-Iran allegations raised by Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir in a meeting, in Riyadh, of political and military officials of the alliance which has launched aggression against Yemen.

“Since the very early hours of the [Saudi-led] aggression against Yemen, Iran has condemned it and called for an end to the war,” he said.

The spokesman noted that Iran also rejects any military solution to the crisis in Yemen, and will spare no effort to help end the bloody and despicable war.

“The repetition of false claims in the Riyadh meeting will not reduce the humanitarian and international responsibility of those who commit heinous crimes such as killing [people], destroying schools and hospitals, imposing blockades, and starving innocent and Muslim people.”

He said the settlement of Yemen’s problems is subject to the cessation of war and sending humanitarian aid to Yemen and holding all-encompassing talks between all Yemeni groups.

Qassemi also urged the participants of the meeting not to continue repeating their mistakes and apologize to Yemeni people to set the stage for ending the war and the start of a comprehensive dialogue.

Noting that the demand was raised one day after Trump’s insulting speech against Iran at the UN, he said French President Macron has also been trying to persuade President Rouhani to accept the meeting, but failed.

Middle East’s First Robotic Restaurant Opens in Tehran

RoboChef, the first interactive, robotic, and waiter-less restaurant of the Middle East, has flipped the tables on how citizens of the Iranian capital eat out.

Owner of the restaurant, Hossein Zibadel, recently told Financial Tribune that the initial goal is to help “people become familiar with modern technology, not just to watch it on television.”

Zibadel said he was surprised by the public interest in his idea. “I really didn’t expect such a great response… they waited outside for hours until they could try out our restaurant.”

The trend is quite new in the country as no other food caterers have so far offered interactive tables and robotic services; however, several other restaurant owners have tried delivering similar smart ordering systems without the pizzazz.

As restaurant technology continues to improve, industry professionals are gaining new resources for promoting their goods and services and attracting customers.

The smart restaurant system can be applied to caterers of all sizes, cafés, food courts and food stalls, no establishment is too small for implementing parts of the digital system.

Here are Mizan’s photos of the restaurant:
