Oil price rise risks adverse shock to global economy business live
The global economy may be adversely affected by the rise in oil prices. Economists, policymakers, and financial markets have been concerned about the potential for economic disruptions as a result of energy cost inflation since the recent rise in global oil prices. The threat of a new negative shock to the global economy, which could derail the fragile recovery from the pandemic and exacerbate inflationary pressures in both developed and emerging markets, looms large as oil continues to trade above $90 per barrel. Oil prices are expected to rise in 2025 as a result of a number of factors. The ongoing tensions in the Middle East and supply disruptions in nations such as Venezuela and Libya are key examples of geopolitical instability. Crude benchmarks have risen as a result of tightening global supply caused by these developments. Simultaneously, strong demand from growing Asian economies, particularly China and India, has placed additional upward pressure on prices, as industrial production and transportation fuel consumption rebound.

🗺️ Piri Reis Map – A 1513 Ottoman map that accurately shows parts of the Americas and Antarctica… centuries before they were "discovered
The Piri Reis Map of 1513, crafted on a handsome piece of gazelle parchment approximately 87 by 63 centimeters, is one of the world’s most captivating cartographic artifacts. Rediscovered in 1929 in Istanbul’s Topkapi Palace, it represents the western third of an otherwise lost masterpiece, gifted by Piri Reis—an Ottoman naval officer, geographer, and cartographer—to Sultan Selim I after the conquest of Egypt in 1517. This single map fragment encapsulates an astonishing blend of ancient classical knowledge, contemporary seafaring intelligence, and a global vision that was well ahead of its time.

The Story of Henry VIII, His Romantic Escapades, and Judge Thomas More... The Account of a Man Who Refused and Paid the Ultimate Price.
This is not a tale from One Thousand and One Nights, but the story of the King of England who stood proudly before everyone—before the Kings of Europe and before the Church at the height of its glory. This king did something no one else in European history had done: women, marriages, divorces, alliances, executions, heresy, and faith. It’s the strange story of King Henry VIII of England and Judge Thomas More, the only man who stood up to the king and refused to utter the words the king demanded, which eventually led to his execution. He was the king who challenged the Catholic Church and the Pope over matters concerning women.
