The Middle Eastern stock markets have shown mixed performances recently, with Dubai's index logging gains for two consecutive sessions and Abu Dhabi rebounding after a brief decline. Amidst this backdrop, penny stocks—often associated with smaller or newer companies—continue to capture the interest of investors seeking growth opportunities at lower price points. While the term 'penny stocks' may seem outdated, these investments can still offer significant potential when supported by strong financials and solid fundamentals.

The picture book helping kids heal from the pain of March 15
Alex Casey talks to Dr Maysoon Salama, author of The Heavenly Papa Giraffe. There's a page in The Heavenly Papa Giraffe where a peaceful and closeknit family of giraffes are confronted with a snarling hyena on their walk across the savannah. 'I hate giraffes, I hate giraffes,' he shouts as they quietly shuffle past. 'You have tall necks, and your skin is patchy. You don't belong in this jungle. My tribe demands you leave.' With their heads bowed, they try to ignore the hatred directed their way: 'the giraffe family were all sad, but did not yell back.' Written by Dr Maysoon Salama, Muslim community leader in Ōtautahi and now thrice-published author, The Heavenly Papa Giraffe is likely the very first picture book in the world grappling with the March 15 terror attack in 2019. Salama's own son Atta was among the 51 lives lost, and her husband was left severely injured. 'There is no cap for the trauma of it,' she tells The Spinoff. 'But I had this core of grief inside me that I knew I wanted to channel into stories.' Her first book Aya and the Butterfly was published in 2021 in collaboration with the Ministry of Education to 'support, reflect, and celebrate the Muslim community' in Aotearoa. Salama wrote it for her granddaughter, who was just two years old when her father was killed. 'In the story, Aya finds comfort and hope and solace in the companionship of a butterfly,' Salama explains. 'The butterfly is about transforming from a dark period into something really beautiful.' Salama soon took Aya and the Butterfly over to read at the United Nations. 'I presented it to show you can transform grief and feelings of sadness and loss into something powerful,' she says. The book was then adapted into a puppet show which still travels Aotearoa with Birdlife Productions, entertaining audiences aged 3-9 to this day. 'It is a really beautiful show and I still get a lot of good comments about it from teachers to community members.' Still, Salama had more stories to tell. 'I really thought the story of March 15 had to be told for the younger generations somehow, and the lessons have to be learned,' she says. 'It was a desire to help my granddaughter and other children understand what happened. She's growing up having all these inquisitive questions, always asking 'where is daddy?' and I needed to answer that question in a gentle and comforting way that really supports her grieving.' It began with the idea of the giraffe, a tall and proud animal with a kind nature. 'My son was very tall and he was a very nice character, always very gentle and caring,' says Salama. 'Then I thought, 'who is the worst enemy of the giraffe?' It's the hyena.' The rest of the animal kingdom quickly fell into place. 'Once I had the jungle setting, the metaphor was there and it became easier to put together something that was really subtle and easy for children.' When a hyena attack happens at the watering hole in the book, it is the birds who bring news back to the families that 'something horrible has happened in your sacred place.' Native species like kea, tui, pīwakawaka and kiwi promise to spread the news widely to get help. 'I wanted the story to be universal but also relatable to Aotearoa, so children specifically in New Zealand could connect with the story and to our unique environment,' says Salama. The birds are not just symbolic of the role the media played on March 15, but also serve as a connection between cultures. 'In Māori tradition, birds are seen as messengers between the physical and the spiritual words, which is also an idea found in Islam,' she says. 'When the souls of the believers pass away, they are kept in green birds who fly freely in paradise. Birds can offer solace and healing, and they can also bridge between Islamic and Māori cultures.' Another distinct aspect in the illustration of The Heavenly Papa Giraffe is that the giraffe family are all pictured wearing different coloured hijab. 'That was an essential part of the book,' says Salama. 'I needed to put them there to affirm the Muslim representation and help young Muslim children see their faith and their cultural identity reflected. I'd really like to keep normalizing the hijab in the mainstream… and it also looks really cute on the characters.' And while her granddaughter Aya, now seven years old, is yet to read the book, Salama says The Heavenly Papa Giraffe will be there waiting for her 'when the time comes'. Even though the events of the book are intrinsically linked to March 15, she hopes the book helps children of any faith through their experience of grief. 'I want kids to understand life and death and the enduring connection between them and their loved ones in a way that is really easy and gentle.' Since its release on March 15 this year, Salama has been heartened by the 'overwhelming positive response' from people in the community, and says the project has also helped her own journey through grief and trauma. 'It's given me so much comfort, and it's given me so much joy that I'm doing something helpful,' she says. 'I'm really thrilled by the heartwarming response because it shows something I've always believed in: the power of storytelling.'

Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson and ‘Die, My Love' Cast Get Vulnerable About Parenthood: 'I Didn't Know I Could Feel So Much'
The cast of Lynne Ramsay's Die, My Love got vulnerable about how parenthood has changed their lives while speaking at the movie's Sunday press conference. The talent came straight from the Palais premiere Saturday night — where they were recipients of a warm six-minute standing ovation — to The Hollywood Reporter-hosted afterparty at Cannes hotspot Salama. More from The Hollywood Reporter 'The Phoenician Scheme' Review: A Brilliant Benicio del Toro Leads Wes Anderson's Poignant Narrative Jigsaw Puzzle 'Peak Everything' Director on Getting Personal With Dark Romantic Comedy to "Save Myself" Nicole Kidman Gives Update on 'Practical Magic' Sequel With Sandra Bullock: "It's Fun and Witchy" The film, an adaptation of Ariana Harwicz's 2017 novel of the same name — with the action relocated from France to Montana — was co-written and directed by Scotswoman Ramsay and was co-produced by Lawrence in her most ambitious performance in years. Through the two-hour film, Lawrence plays a new mother (Grace) who develops postpartum depression and begins going in and out of psychosis. Robert Pattinson plays her husband, Jackson, Sissy Spacek and Nick Nolte play his parents, and Oscar nominee Lakeith Stanfield also stars. Lawrence — mother to two children now — was visibly emotional talking about working with Ramsay on the subject matter. 'It was really hard to separate what I would do as opposed to what [Grace] would do… Extreme anxiety and extreme depression is isolating. No matter where you are, you feel like an alien, and so it deeply moved me. I've wanted to work with Lynne Ramsay since I saw Ratcatcher (1999) and I was like, 'There's no way.' But we took a chance, and we sent it to her. And I really, I cannot believe that I'm here with you,' said Lawrence as the two embraced. Pattinson said about working with Ramsay: 'I didn't find anything particularly hard. This was someone I've always wanted to work with, and you create an atmosphere on set where I don't need to really describe things as like, hard or easy. It's quite an unusual environment. But when you trust your director so much… you create an aura on set where you're being led in the direction. You don't really know exactly where it is, but to trust the director so much.' Lawrence and Pattinson were asked about how having children (Pattinson shares a child with British star Suki Waterhouse) has changed their careers. 'Having children changes everything,' Lawrence said. 'It changes your whole life, but it's brutal and incredible.' 'I didn't know that I could feel so much, and my job has a lot to do with emotion, and they've opened up the world to me. It's almost like a blister or something, so sensitive. So they've changed my life, obviously, for the best, and they've changed me creatively,' said Lawrence. She added, prompting laughter: 'I highly recommend having kids if you want to be an actor.' Said Pattinson: 'I think in the most unexpected way, having a baby gives you the biggest trove of energy and inspiration afterwards.' Lawrence cut in: 'You get energy?' Pattinson continued: 'It's impossible for a guy to answer correctly! I'm just here to support… Ever since she was born, it's reinvigorated the way I approach work and, yeah, you're a completed person.' Ramsay said about finding a way 'in' to Harwicz's novel: 'The subject matter was about postpartum, but it also was intended to be stuck creatively in dreams and fantasies, sex and passion… So I thought, 'Maybe I can do this.' And then I was like, 'Well, I'm going to try it. I don't know if it's going to work.' And then I saw it a bit more like a love story, and that gave me an in.' THR's chief film critic David Rooney called the film a 'jarring character study' and, at times, 'a bit of a trudge.' He continued: 'Ramsay's film is hard to love, but that beautiful visual casts such an intense glow it pulls the whole unwieldy thing together.'

Inside The Hollywood Reporter's Star-Studded ‘Die, My Love' Cannes Premiere Party With Jennifer Lawrence, Robert Pattinson and Surprise Guests
It was a star-studded soirée in Cannes last night as The Hollywood Reporter, with Longines, hosted the official afterparty of Lynne Ramsay thriller Die, My Love. Robert Pattinson arrived straight from the Palais premiere — where the film was recipient of a warm, six-minute standing ovation — and LaKeith Stanfield came soon after, breaking out some dance moves as carpet photos were taken. Jennifer Lawrence joined later in the evening on the arm of Longines CEO Matthias Breschan. More from The Hollywood Reporter Chie Hayakawa on Revisiting the Pain and Wonder of Childhood in Cannes Film 'Renoir' 'The Chronology of Water' Review: Kristen Stewart Makes a Boldly Assured Directing Debut, Starring a Transformative Imogen Poots Inside Pedro Pascal's Emotional Return to 'The Last of Us' Among other arrivals was Eddington star Joaquin Phoenix and wife Rooney Mara, who together blocked Pedro Pascal, also in Ari Aster's pandemic-era film, from snapping any photos. Dakota Johnson, set to feature in Celine Song's hotly-anticipated Materialists this coming summer, as well as 'brat' queen Charli XCX and German actor Matthias Schweighöfer also joined to celebrate Ramsay's new movie. Ali Abbasi, director of last year's Cannes picture The Apprentice with Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong, was in attendance in a Riviera-appropriate, slick cream suit. Another brilliant event by Danielle Pelland, Oscar winner and beloved U.S. actress Sissy Spacek (Pattinson's onscreen mother in Die, My Love) closed down the party, Circulating at the trendy Cannes hotspot Salama was Bordeaux and Côtes-d'Auvergne-imported pinot noir and pinot blanc alongside platters of sushi, falafel and sliders before moorish mini desserts including chocolate fondants, cream and fresh fruit skewers. Attendees were welcome to try the themed cocktails, including a 'Die, My Darling' with tequila, cointreau and fresh lime juice, 'Feral Bloom' with Grey Goose Vodka, vanilla liquor and espresso, or 'Love Is a Wound' comprised of Aperol, Prosecco and Perrier. Upon entrance on Cannes' Rue Florian were a host of private parties that served as a quasi-runway for THR and Longine's event. A saxophone player weaved through the crowds and, in true Cannes party fashion, a man with a flute stood atop a building and played to a bouncing audience below. At Salama, moody lighting followed through from the terrace through to the bar and dance floor, and further ahead were tables for each cast member to drink and mingle. There were a few murmurs about the bird costume on the film's red carpet — and debates over whether it was a turkey or, indeed, a condor — but the mystery was dispelled when organizers confirmed the bird man was a character from Raphael Quenard Cannes Classics documentary I Love Peru. The festival's synopsis of the doc reads: 'Going through a difficult period, Raphaël Quenard abandons everyone around him and, struck by a disturbing vision, flies to Peru. In this spiritual quest, he is accompanied by his friend Hugo David.' Ezra Miller, a collaborator of Ramsay's from their time on We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011), was seen speeding down the red carpet for the film's premiere earlier in the evening, reportedly in support of the filmmaker. Though the actor, sporting with a beret and long hair at the premiere, was nowhere to be seen at THR's afterparty.

Cannes Film Festival's best-kept secret: Where do the stars dine beyond the red carpet?
Life by Aminath Ifasa 18 seconds ago As the Cannes Film Festival transforms the French Riviera into a glittering stage for cinema's elite, another kind of star power takes center stage: its legendary dining scene. From the Anatolian dreamscape of Rüya at the Carlton Cannes to the belly-dancing revelry of Salama, and from Zuma's caviar-laced Japanese delicacies to the Michelin-starred theatrics of La Palme d'Or, Cannes offers a culinary lineup as dazzling as its red carpets. Whether you're savoring fresh seafood at Fred l'Écailler, indulging in La Petite Maison's edible centerpieces, or toasting with champagne at La Môme, every meal here feels like a premiere. This is where the festival's magic extends beyond the screen, and onto plates crafted for Hollywood's most discerning palates. When the final credits roll on another Cannes Film Festival, it's not just the films that linger in memory but also unforgettable dining experiences that define the festival's glamour. The smoky Wagyu brisket at Rüya, the Moroccan spices of Salama, the cinematic elegance of La Palme d'Or, and the unpretentious brilliance of Fred l'Écailler prove that Cannes' true artistry isn't confined to the silver screen. So as the Croisette's lights dim, let these restaurants take their bow: they're the unsung stars of the festival, serving up scenes worth savoring long after the curtain falls.
