Iran (/aɪˈræn/ or i/ɪˈrɑːn/;Persian: Irān – ایران [ʔiːˈɾɒːn]), also known as Persia (/ˈpɜːrʒə/ or /ˈpɜːrʃə/), officially the Islamic Republic of Iran (جمهوری اسلامی ایران – Jomhuri ye Eslāmi ye Irān [d͡ʒomhuːˌɾije eslɒːˌmije ʔiːˈɾɒːn]), is a country in Western Asia. It is bordered to the northwest by Armenia, the de facto Nagorno-Karabakh, and Azerbaijan; with Kazakhstan and Russia across the Caspian Sea; to the northeast by Turkmenistan; to the east by Afghanistan and Pakistan; to the south by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman; and to the west by Turkey and Iraq. Comprising a land area of 1,648,195 km2 (636,372 sq mi), it is the second-largest country in the Middle East and the 18th-largest in the world. With 78.4 million inhabitants, Iran is the world's 17th-most-populous country. It is the only country that has both a Caspian Sea and an Indian Ocean coastline. Iran has long been of geostrategic importance because of its central location in Eurasia and Western Asia, and its proximity to the Strait of Hormuz.
Şiran, also Karaca, is a town and district of Gümüşhane Province in the Black Sea region of Turkey. It is one of the points of passage between Eastern Anatolia and Black Sea regions of Turkey, in the sense that the western road departing from Erzincan towards the Zigana Pass (the key pass between the two geographies) has its last urban stop in Şiran. According to the 2010 census, population of the district is 17,600 of which 8,207 live in the town of Şiran. The district covers an area of 928 km2 (358 sq mi), and the town lies at an elevation of 1,457 m (4,780 ft).
The name comes from Persian and means "the lions", although it is most likely to be an adaptation of the former Greek name of Cheriana (Χερίανα) adopted after the Turkish settlement in the region after and possibly even slightly before the Battle of Manzikert.
Many of the northern villages of the district was home to minority populations of Pontic Greeks until the 1922 Exchange of Greek and Turkish Populations, constituting the southern fringes of that community's extension. Some among the present population can also trace their roots to Greeks who had converted to Islam until as late as the end of the 19th century, as indicated by the Ottoman census and changed village names (for example, the present village of "Evren" was formerly called "Sefker").
Persian wine, also called Mey (Persian: می) and Badeh (باده), is a cultural symbol and tradition in Persia, and has a significant presence in Persian mythology, Persian poetry and Persian miniatures.
Recent archaeological research has pushed back the date of the known origin of wine making in Persia far beyond that which writers earlier in the 20th century had envisaged. Excavations at the Godin Tepe site in the Zagros mountains (Badler, 1995; McGovern and Michel, 1995; McGovern, 2003), have revealed pottery vessels dating from c. 3100–2900 BC containing tartaric acid, almost certainly indicating the former presence of wine. Even earlier evidence was found at the site of Hajji Firuz Tepe, also in the Zagros mountains. Here, McGovern et al. (1996) used chemical analyses of the residue of a Neolithic jar dating from as early as 5400–5000 BC to indicate high levels of tartaric acid, again suggesting that the fluid contained therein had been made from grapes.
As book of Immortal Land Persian: سرزمین جاوید or Sar Zamin e Javid] (by Zabihollah Mansoori) says Ramian wines were world-famous in the Parthian Empire. Ramian Wine is now a California wine brand but Shiraz wines are famous across the globe.
Is killing a sin? Is it?
If it is let our Lord be my Judge
If I'm above the laws of man, am I above the law of God?
I did what I had to do and now I gotta suffer the consequence
I heard a loud gunshot
Who was it? I don't really know
All I saw was this cadillac creepin' real slow
They popped him at McGregor park
And left him bleedin' on a bench
Saw a brotha rollin' off wearin' some locs
And a black trench.
Hopped in the lac right a round 12 o clock
Realised that I've saw the whole murder, so he stopped
Called me over to his window
Pulled out the glock to me, in the back seat
The windows rolled up, the doors locked
He said: I know you saw this murder that just took place
So I can't let you make it cause I know you saw my face
But I got one little proposle and that might save you G
I can kill you now or you can come and work for me
He saw me thinking so he paused and than removed his locs
Looked in his eyes
I realised he wasn't tellin' jokes
I pictured money, cars and women than my mind went DAMN!
What's my first assignment?
[Chorus:]
Shoot 'em down shoot 'em down
Commit murder for the cash
Place his body in the ground
Friend or foe I got to blast
Gunfire all around
This ain't personal, it's business
I'm bustin' everybody, family members and the witness.
He started rollin' down a dark street and took a left
I'm havin' flashes of that fool that just got shot to death
Flipped to his mansion where all my feel would soon decrease
Gave me a strap and then they fit me for a new three piece.
Spent several hours in his office runnin' down a game
Gave me a map, a brand new pager and a list of names
And plus a picture of my victim kinda looked familiar
I know this sucka, what's the deal man? He tried' to kill ya?
He said: Don't never ask me questions
Just kill the man
Complete the job by twelve o' clock
It's good for 20 grand
I understand within a week I'm quick to strike a foe
I'm pullin' moves and make Al Capone look like a hoe.
Vision the man that went shyfe during his life and done
Some shit that brought about the murder of his wife and son
I came up in the village witnessed all them gangsta hits
Needed a lick so I pulled my gun and cocked it quick
A killers life it gets rougher when he is bustin' men
Multiple massacres, murders and human suffering
Obligated to bring life loss without a consciense
Funeral services arranged over some non shit
[Chorus]
Received a call and got a name, a victim, time to spill em
His familymembers at my feet begging me not to kill him
Seven months deep, organised crime, no love in mind
The man I had to drop was in a wheelchair and blind
His wife was crying, he lost a batch[? ], trying to work his way up
But he was 30 gees behind and it was time to pay up
I never missed a hit, I had a perfect record, check it
Done witness body shot up, burned and left in kitchen's neggit
Before some reason, man, I'm feelin' kind of bad bout this one
I always think my hits so damn, it wouldn't hurt to miss one
I let him ride, but what about that thirty thousand, Black?
I say: He gave it back and paid the boss straight out my stack
Knew from the start that in this game I couldn't have a heart
All of the tactics I was taught, somehow I came up short
I told the man about my plan, I thought I left him gutless
The door flew open, I heard a voice sayin:
Man you shouldn't have done this!
It was the boss, he was testin' me to see if I
Was true to him but since I sold out it was time to die
I understood and knew the consequences of going left
Multiple gunshots to the body brought about my death!
Yeah, a little spinekiller from the mindkiller
Get with it
I can get with it
I can get with it
I can get with it [fading]
[Chorus x2]
And the witness
