Tehran's barbers are to stop offering Iranian men unconventional Western hairstyles amid a nationwide crackdown on dressing deemed to be un-Islamic, the Etemad newspaper reported.
The paper quoted the head of the Tehran barbers' association as saying police had issued a directive forbidding its members from giving men offbeat hairstyles that are all the rage in more affluent parts of the capital.
"Currently some salons use Western grooming methods to create styles that are in line with the European and American ones," said the association's head, Mohammad Eftekhari-Fard.

"The union has repeatedly announced the restrictions against unconventional grooming when issuing permits to each of the barber shops. Hence barbers, knowing these rules, should not pursue the wrong methods," he warned.
"The union will withdraw its support from those barbers who cut hairstyles that are out of line with the norms of the system," he said.
Eftekhari-Fard did not specify which hairstyles were being targeted, but conservatives in Iran have long been upset by the heavy use of styling gel, shoulder-length hair and the spiky "big hair" styles sported by some of Tehran's young males.
The directive also banned the use of "facial cosmetics, plucking of eyebrows and applying special make-up in male salons," he said.
Iran has handed out thousands of warnings over the past week to women found to have infringed Islamic dress rules in the latest police crackdown.
However, the authorities have emphasised that men are not excluded from the drive, and males whose T-shirts were found to be too short or tight and hair excessively groomed have also found themselves apprehended.(AFP)
伊朗改革派報紙Etemad報導,在全國一片打壓違反伊斯蘭教價值服飾的聲浪中,德黑蘭的理容師將不准再為男性同胞梳剪不合習俗的西式髮型。
Etemad引述德黑蘭理容師公會會長的話說,警方下令公會會員不得為男性同胞梳剪時髦怪異的髮型,這類髮型在首都德黑蘭幾個高級地區相當流行。
理容師公會會長穆罕默德?埃夫特哈里法德說:「目前有些沙龍為了創造與歐美同步流行的髮式,採行西方理容技術。」
他警告說:「公會核發執照給各理容院時,都一再重申反對有違伊斯蘭教法理容方式的規定。因此,理容師們不該明知故犯。」
他說:「至於違規的理容師,公會將吊銷他們的執照。」
埃夫特哈里法德並未具體說明哪些髮型在取締之列,但伊朗保守派份子長期以來對德黑蘭部分年輕男性大量使用造型髮膠、蓄留及肩長髮和頂著刺蝟頭的模樣,相當不以為然。
他表示,規定還禁止男性理容院提供「臉部保養、修眉及特殊化妝」服務。
上週伊朗警方在最新一波取締行動中,警告了數千名違反伊斯蘭教服飾規定的女性。
不過,有關當局強調,男性也無法從這波行動中倖免,舉凡身上T恤太短、太緊,或頭髮過份梳理的男性也會遭到逮捕。(法新社/翻譯:林倩如)

Let’s explore another delicacy primarily known to Tainan locals: floating milkfish in thick soup. Despite its peculiar name, this dish is another Tainan specialty that showcases the popularity of milkfish, which is made into fish paste and served in thick soup. Unlike the version with tutuo fish, which also adds other ingredients to its thick soup, the floating milkfish version primarily features the “floating fish” itself in its thick soup, ensuring that the fish paste remains the star of the dish. 讓我們來探索另一道台南人熟悉的美食:浮水魚羹。這道菜名奇特的美食,再再展現了台南虱目魚料理的多樣。浮水魚羹是用虱目魚漿做成的羹品,雖然和𩵚魠魚羹一樣是羹湯,但不像𩵚魠魚羹會在湯中加入其他食材,而是讓虱目魚漿成為這道料理的主角。 peculiar (adj.) 獨特的;古怪的 The belly of a milkfish is considered the most
The practice of freezing embryos as part of in vitro fertilization (IVF) was thrown into chaos in Alabama this year, when the state supreme court ruled that such embryos should be considered children, exposing clinics to wrongful death claims in the event they are destroyed in the thawing process. In 2021, more than 80 percent of US IVF procedures involved the transfer of frozen embryos, according to a recent report by the US Department of Health and Human Services. HOW IS EMBRYO FREEZING USED IN IVF? IVF uses high doses of hormones to stimulate ovaries to produce as many eggs as possible. Once
A situation puzzle is a game in which one person describes a scenario and asks the players to explain it. The situation is deliberately lacking in details, but the players may acquire more information by asking questions — however, these can only be answered with “yes” or “no.” A player wins by describing the approximate events that led up to the situation. To do so, they must use a blend of logical and lateral thinking. A famous example of this is sometimes known as “Turtle Soup.” Here’s the riddle: “A man in a restaurant orders turtle soup, tastes it
