Commonly thought of as a human response to danger, injury and loss, there is growing evidence that many animals show lasting changes in their behavior after traumatic events. Can they point to an evolutionary source for PTSD? E Every few years, snowshoe hare numbers in the Canadian Yukon climb to a peak. As there are po[CENSORED]tions increase, so do those of their predators, lynx and coyotes. Then the hare po[CENSORED]tion plummets and predators start to die off. The cycle is a famous phenomenon among ecologists and has been studied since the 1920s. In recent years, though, researchers have come to a startling conclusion – hare numbers fall from their peak not just because predators eat too many of them. There's another factor: chronic stress from living surrounded by killers causes mother hares to eat less food and bear fewer babies. The trauma of living through repeated predator chases triggers lasting changes in brain chemistry that parallel those seen in the brains of traumatised people. Those changes keep the hares from reproducing at normal levels, even after their predators have died off. And it's not just snowshoe hares, as behavioural ecologists Liana Zanette and Michael Clinchy have shown. Zanette and Clinchy, both at the University of Western Ontario, are a married couple who majored in psychology as undergraduates. Today, they study what they call the ecology of fear, which combines the psychology of trauma with the behavioral ecology of fear in wild animals. They've found that fear of predators can cause other wild mammals and songbirds to bear and raise fewer young. The offspring of frightened voles and song sparrows, like those of stressed snowshoe hares, are less likely to survive to adulthood and succeed in reproducing. These findings add to a growing body of evidence showing that fearful experiences can have long-lasting effects on wildlife and suggesting that post-traumatic stress disorder, with its intrusive flashback memories, hypervigilance and anxiety, is part of an ancient, evolution response to danger . The work is part of a wider scientific debate over the nature of PTSD and whether it is an evolution response shared among mammals, birds and other creatures, or is unique to humans. Studies of the ecology of fear started in the 1990s. Before then, scientists assumed that the impact of a predator on an individual prey animal was either deadly or fleeting. If a hare survived a coyote attack, or a zebra escaped the claws of a lion, it would move on and live its life as before. But research shows that fear can alter the long-term behavior and physiology of wild animals, from fish to elephants. "Fear is a response all animals mount to avoid being killed by predators," says Zanette. "It's enormously beneficial, because it keeps you alive to breed another day. But it does carry costs." The reasons to fear are clear. Recent studies have found that up to 32% of adult female giraffes in parts of the Serengeti carry scars from lion attacks, 25% of harbor porpoises in the southern North Sea have claw and bite marks from gray seals and three quarters of manta rays in some African waters bear multiple bite wounds from sharks. These survivors may carry memories of terror along with their physical scars. Rudy Boonstra, a po[CENSORED]tion ecologist at the University of Toronto, has studied the impacts of extreme stress on the snowshoe hares and other small mammals of the Canadian Yukon since the 1970s. He was inspired by his own family history: Boonstra was born in the Netherlands, where his mother — like many of the Dutch — experienced severe stress during World War Two. "That likely affected her children," he says. "That sense of stress being a relevant factor in our biology was always in the back of my mind." Boonstra knew that during the decline phase of the snowshoe hare cycle, the great majority of hares are killed by predators. But there turned out to be more to the story. When Boonstra's student, Michael Sheriff, tested faeces of live-caught hares during the rise and fall phases of the po[CENSORED]tion cycle, he found that levels of the stress hormone cortisol in mother hares fluctuated with predator density, peaking when predators were most numerous. Those highly-stressed mothers, the researchers found, bore fewer, smaller babies. And heightened stress hormone levels were also passed from mothers to daughters, slowing the rates of hare reproduction even after predators had died off and abundant vegetation was available for hares to eat. This explains why the hare po[CENSORED]tion remains low for three to five years after predators have all but vanished from Boonstra's study site. Animals stressed by many predators spend more time hiding and less time feeding, so they produce fewer young — but that may allow more adult hares to survive and rebuild the po[CENSORED]tion Early pioneers of stress physiology focused on human problems and viewed such stress responses as pathological, but Boonstra has come to disagree. He sees

Les raisons de choisir l'italienne… Pour son prix, évidemment ! Habilement positionnée entre le low-cost et les compactes généralistes, la Fiat Tipo se veut plus « essentielle » que rudimentaire. Et la formule semble fonctionner puisque sa carrière a connu un joli démarrage, à l'échelle mondiale, avec 500 000 unités produites (en Turquie) sur ses 3 premières années de vie, entree 2015 et 2018. A l'occasion de son restylage, la Fiat s'embourgeoise même avec cette coquette version Cross, un peu surélevée (37mm), sans faire flamber la note. La promesse budgétaire est tenue car les tarifs de cette « aventurière » débutent à 19 490 euros. Parmi ses concurrentes généralistes les plus notoires, la C4 est elle aussi bien placée mais, pour rivaliser avec la compacte transalpine, la Citroën doit renoncer à bon nombre de ses équipements. Prix plancher ? 20 900 euros minimum. La Françaises est battue. Ajoutez à cela un style plutôt alléchant. Cette nouvelle déclinaison Cross de la Tipo apporte une touche de charme qui peut séduire ceux que la nouvelle Citroën C4 a laissé dubitatifs, surtout dans ses finitions les plus abordables. Car pour abaisser l’addition, la Françaises de notre match renonce à ses artifices au point d’opter pour des enjoliveurs de roues (18 pouces) La Fiat, fière de ses atours, comme des jantes en alliage 17 pouces bicolores "Cross" ou encore du chrome satiné présent sur les barres de toit, rétroviseurs, boucliers, bas de caisse et poignées de porte, parade sans' adcerdition sur . Surprenante à défaut d’être repoussante, la plastique de cette nouvelle C4 laisse au mieux indifférent, la où la Fiat Tipo Cross, plus consensuelle, peut glaner davantage de suffrages. La Citroën se rattrape avec un habitacle à la qualité perçue bien plus flatteuse que celle de la Fiat, ou des plastiques grossiers sur la partie basse de planche de bord et sur les contre-portes, notamment, trahissent une conception plus ancienne. L'Italienne offre un coffre plus vaste (440l contre 380l pour la Française) mais rend des points à sa rivale en termes d'espace à bord, l'empattement de la Fiat étant légèrement inférieur à celui de la Citroën. A l'usage, on jouit d'une meilleure visibilité dans la Tipo Cross que dans la C4, pénalisée par un becquet scindant en deux la vitre de coffre, et des gros montants qui détériorent la rétrovision.

Bolusset Enfin, la pseudo-baroudeuse de Turin fait le plein d'équipements de série sur son plus haut niveau de finition « Plus » affiché à 23 490 euros : caméra de recul, feux de adaptatifs, ou encore chargeur de à inéléphone A motorisation équivalente, C4 la plus proche côté prix (23 400 euros en finition « Feel ») en est dépourvue. … ou de preférer la C4 Pour sa copie rendue nette et sans bavure, même en entrée de gamme. Cette qualité globale de fabrication est héritée d'une lignée de berlines compactes à succès, frappées des chevrons. Pourtant, comme un feuilleton télé, la carrière de la Citroën C4 ne manque pas de rebondissements. En perte de vitesse avec sa 2ème génération (lancée en 2010) elle a changé son fusil d'épaule et plusieurs fois revu sa formule pour pointer où le vent souffle ; tantôt du côté d'un crossover ludique (Cactus), puis d'une berline compacte surélevée (C4 Cactus). Aujourd’hui, elle tente de synthétiser ses expériences pour proposing une inédite carrosserie à la croisée des chemins.

Lionel Messi made his Paris St-Germain debut as a 66th-minute substitute in a 2-0 win at Reims in Ligue 1. The Argentine, wearing his new number 30 PSG shirt, received a standing ovation as he replaced his friend Neymar in front of a sell-out crowd. It was the first club game of his career for a team other than Barcelona. "He is still far away from his best form but he has been training well and he will be fit in the next two weeks," boss Mauricio Pochettino told Amazon. "We are waiting for the best from him. I'm very happy that he made his debut. It was very important for him. "He was good, from his first touches he gave the team peace of mind. It's good for him to start with a win. "It was good to hear the crowd cheering for him, not just our supporters, it's something Leo has earned." Kylian Mbappe scored both goals on what could be his final appearance for the club, with Real Madrid keen to sign him before Tuesday's transfer deadline. Real Madrid have made a 160m euro (£137m) bid to sign the 22-year-old, who has now scored 135 goals in 175 games for PSG. His first goal was a header from an Angel di Maria cross and for his second he swept home Achraf Hakimi's cross. "Kylian is our player and you know that in football and in business there is always gossip and rumours," Pochettino said. "I think our president and our sporting director were very clear and he is still here. I am really happy to have Kylian. "He is one of the best, one of the most important players in the world today, and for him to be with us is a gift." But the headlines will be about 34-year-old Messi, who came on moments after that second goal. Tickets for the game were being resold for about 6,000 euros after Reims sold over 20,000 tickets for the Stade Auguste-Delaune match. Before Messi's signing only about 6,000 had been sold. Their purchasers may have been disappointed to see Messi only named on the bench - although he got an ovation as he warmed up, with fans chanting his name, and an even bigger one when he came on. He played some nice passes and was involved in good link-up play, drawing several fouls. However he had few touches in the penalty area and no shooting opportunities. "He brings serenity to the team. His energy and his optimism trickle down on the rest of the team," said Pochettino. Messi had missed the first few games for PSG since his free transfer move following his exit from Barcelona. This was his first game since winning the Copa America with Argentina in July. He joined Barcelona as a 13-year-old and scored a record 672 goals in 778 games for the club. He has won six Ballons d'Or - also a record - and is considered one of the greatest footballers ever.

Millennial divorcees are keeping their kids in their former family home, while rotating out of the property themselves. S Splitting up from a partner is always hard, especially if children are caught up in the process. And with reams of international research suggesting how unsettling divorce can be for young people, some parents are turning into an innovative solution to try and help ease the process. 'Birdnesting' or 'nesting' is a way of living that enables children to remain in the family home and spend time with each parent there. Each legal guardian stays at the home during their agreed custody time, then elsewhere when they're 'off duty'. The concept gets its name from bird parents, who keep their chicks safe in a nest and alternately fly in and out to care for them. “We wanted to keep stability for the kids, and not just tear up everything all at once,” says 38-year-old Niklas Björling from Stockholm, whose young family nested for eight months after he and his wife separated. “The children could keep their home, school and friends as before,” he explains, plus they'd avoid the stress of shuttling between two properties. Although still a relatively unknown concept globally, nesting seems to be on the rise in Western countries, largely among middle-class families. Divorce lawyers have reported an increase in birdnesting in places including the US, Australia and The Netherlands. A recent UK study by Coop Legal Services suggested that 11% of divorced or separated parents have tried it. In Sweden, where equally shared child custody has been commonplace for decades, somed parents have rotated homes as far back as the 1970s. (Official statistics are hard to come by, since there isn't a tick box for this kind of living on census or residency surveys.) Björling stayed in his mum's spare room during his child-free time, while his ex rented a room in a shared house. Wealthier nesters may choose to buy individual apartments, invest in a second shared property or convert part of the main household into an off-duty annexe, says Dr Ann Buscho, a California-based therapist who has written a book about nesting. For many, it's a “transitional or temporary arrangement”, but some of her clients have nested for years. Yet as more families start to embrace the concept, experts are divided on its impact on both children and parents. What's behind the birdesting trend? Buscho says it's important to understand the context behind the trend, including the influence of non-traditional celebrity parenting plans on millennial divorcees. Mad Men's Anne Dudek and Matthew Heller went public about nesting after their divorce in 2016, and actor Gwyneth Paltrow is reported to have stayed frequently at the home she used to share with musician Chris Martin, long after they broke up. "I think Gwyneth Paltrow's 'conscious uncoupling' had a big effect here. They did a sort of modified nesting. And just the notion of divorcing with respect and more kindly, I think that had a big impact on people,” says Bushco. Recent TV programs may also have had an impact. US TV show Splitting Up Together depicted a family nesting by using a garage as the parents' off-duty home, and there's been a nesting plot in financial drama Billions series. “There's just more awareness around the fact that it is an option available to people,” adds Ben Evans, a senior family law solicitor for Coop Legal Services in south-west England. Some couples are also drawn to nesting because it can be a more cost-effective solution, for example by cutting court fees or delaying taxes to house sales, according to Stephen Williams, a family law partner at another British firm, Ashtons Legal. But he believes the main driver is a more general increase in awareness about children’s mental health, which has led more parents to consider the potential of alternative custody arrangements. “People have become far more savvy about needing to think about their children's development,” he says. "I think that is a really, really good progression, basically, because often those issues were pushed to the background, and it was the parents' often problematic separations which came to the fore." Is birdnesting actually better for children? Whatever the reasons ex-couples are getting into birdnesting, judging its effectiveness is tricky. Since it's a fairly new trend in most places, there is no comparative data on the wellbeing of children in these kinds of families compared to other domestic set-ups. Buscho has interviewed dozens of nesting families for her research, and did a 15-month stint of it with her ex-husband and three children in the 1990s. She strongly believes it’s healthier for children, by enabling them to retain existing routines and adapt more slowly to changes in the family. “If you ask the kids, they'll always tell you divorce is no fun. They don't know what it's like to divorce without nesting,” she says. “But what they will say is that our parents carried the burden of the divorce and we didn't have to.” That's a perspective shared by Linnea Andersdotter, who's now 36. She lived in a birdnesting set-up in Stockholm for several years, after her parents separated when she was 11. “It felt like a very dramatic thing when they first let me know that they were going to split up, and when I found out I didn't have to move, that really helped me not freak out about the situation,” she says. “I was kind of kept in a safe little bubble whilst they were sorting out the break-up thing.”

https://www.msn.com/ar-ae/news/world/مدارس-الولايات-المتحدة-تعاني-من-نقص-في-أعداد-سائقي-الحافلات-بسبب-كوفيد/ar-AANTv9m Classes in the US have begun after a year of remote learning, but in the absence of distinctive yellow school buses, the Covid-19 pandemic has caused a shortage of drivers. The problem - and one of others - is that some drivers oppose the mandatory wearing of a mask, while others who are older and who retire from other jobs fear infection while transporting students, education officials said. The Minneapolis region in Minnesota, for example, warned that school bus service this year will be intermittent due to what it said is a shortage of drivers faced by schools in several regions across the country. Local area school authorities said that "public schools in Minneapolis encourage families who are able to transport their students to school, to do so." For its part, a private school in Wilmington, Delaware, the birthplace of President Joe Biden, is offering families $700 a year to take their children to school. No specific day has been announced for schools to open, as some students resumed classes in late July and others will not start before September. Because of the transportation problem, some areas, such as Pittsburgh schools, have given students an extra two weeks of vacation while they try to solve the bus problem. Officials there must find buses capable of transporting 5,000 children. - Forcing the muzzle to frighten some - The United States has been suffering from a shortage of school bus drivers for some time, but the pandemic has exacerbated the problem. Greg Jackson, director of transportation for the Jifco, Colorado, schools, said his area has many drivers of retirement age who are particularly at risk of contracting the virus and are therefore afraid to return to work. Others oppose county policies that force drivers to wear a mask "so they are no longer" working, according to Jackson. "We lost some of them recently for this reason," he added. School officials across the country are doing what they can to bring students together and with teachers after months of studying and learning from home. School office staff are trained to drive buses. For example, the service is being expanded to accommodate more children, and bus stops are being reorganized. The waiting list for a seat on a school bus is sometimes long. To attract more people to work as bus drivers, wages are raised and bonuses of up to $4,000 are offered to anyone who signs a contract. - Not a hoax - Since the beginning of the epidemic, the percentage of the workforce in the bus driving service has decreased by a quarter, according to the Statistics Authority of the Ministry of Labor. Online job sites include nearly 5,000 bus driver jobs, nearly double the number before the pandemic, according to economist Julia Pollack. "The average salary for a school bus driver is $34,000 a year, or $16 an hour," Pollack told AFP. She added that "the greatest difficulty for employers lies in filling vacancies within this wage bracket due to concerns related to health and safety in the work environment, barriers to childcare, and the financial protection provided by the Covid assistance package and the stimulus spending programme." And it's not just school bus drivers who are in high demand, with many US employers saying they are having a hard time finding people to fill lower-paying jobs. Even after hiring drivers to drive school buses, the link is not consistent, according to Greg Jackson. After being trained to drive a bus, there is a possibility that the trainees will take their new degree to the private sector where salaries are higher. "It happened many times," he said. "I hope the people realize that the problem is not a hoax because there is a shortage of drivers at the national level," he added. He stressed that "the teams are doing everything they can every day to ensure the best service is secured. It will not be the same service as before."

Apple slows down older iPhone handsets as their batteries age to prevent unexpected shutdowns. The company hadn't disclosed this when it first started doing it, and faced much outrage when it was discovered. It then apologised, offered reduced price battery replacements, and gave users control of this so-called Performance Management feature. Now, a report claims that in part due to the lawsuit Apple lost in France over iPhone slowdowns, the company appears to be disabling Performance Management on older iPhone models if the device's region is set to the country, making them run smoother and faster. According to the report by MyDrivers (in Chinese), users of older iPhone models, such as the iPhone 7, were reporting increased performance after changing the region to France. The publication was also able to replicate a jump in AnTuTu benchmark performance on their iPhone 7 model, which had degraded battery health (81 percent). But running a similar test on the new iPhone 12 Pro with 100 percent battery health made no difference, as per the report, though it does correlate the increased performance with the removal of Performance Management. It is not certain however if that's all that changes when the device's region is changed. Instead of changing regions, we recommend users who want a performance improvement on older models simply turn off Performance Management via the Battery section in Settings. However, do note this may cause unexpected shutdowns. How to Maximise Your iPhone's Battery Life and Lifespan, According to Apple Apple's iPhone slowdown practice first came to light in December 2017, and the company apologised for the manner in which the move was rolled out, but denied that the slowdown of the older phones was a ploy to spur sales of new models. It also reduced the price of replacement batteries and introduced a system to allow users to see the health of the battery. After an inquiry, the French competition watchdog DGCCRF fined Apple EUR 25 million (roughly Rs. 218.32 crores) in February 2020 for failing to let users know that updating the software on their devices could result in slow performance.

Windows 11 is going to be a major upgrade. But before you can get there, Microsoft wants you to have the necessary hardware. The company published a blog post officially detailing the system requirements for Windows 11. It lays out the processors and systems that will be compatible with the new operating system, while also helping clear out some of the confusion caused by the company’s initial guidance on the necessary hardware. Microsoft’s list of system requirements includes at least a 1GHz or faster CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. Devices will also need version 2.0 of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), which aids with security clearance and is available on most modern motherboards. The list of Windows 11-ready Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm processors includes the usual cadre of Intel 8th Gen and beyond CPUs. Most notably, there’s a chunk of 7th Gen Intel Core Kaby Lake and first-generation AMD Zen CPUs not on the list, which is a bit of a surprise considering these SoCs were released in 2016 and 2017, respectively. The only 7th-generation Intel processors listed as compatible are Intel Core X-series processors, Xeon W-series processors, and, specifically, the Core i7-7820HQ processor, which is the CPU used inside Microsoft’s own Surface Studio 2. AMD’s first-gen Ryzen chip didn’t make the chopping block. “After carefully analyzing the first generation of AMD Zen processors in partnership with AMD, together we concluded that there are no additions to the supported CPU list,” writes Microsoft. The company adds that devices that didn’t meet the minimum hardware requirements “had 52 percent more kernel mode crashes” in Windows 11, whereas those that met the minimum hardware requirements “had a 99.8 percent crash-free experience.” If you happen to fall into the category of devices that aren’t officially supported, you can still install Windows 11 with a bit of software sleuthing. Either keep your version of Windows 11 on the Windows Insider Program or create a Windows 11 ISO file and install it manually. But take into consideration Microsoft’s warnings on how the system might perform. Microsoft explained it settled on the minimum system requirements to prioritize support for things like modern DCH drivers and the aforementioned TPM security. It’s part of a larger move on Microsoft’s end to modernize its long-standing legacy software. The consolidation should help improve the overall reliability of the Windows platform.

The Israeli municipality in occupied Jerusalem is trying to give the character of development to a large scheme in the center of East Jerusalem, but the Palestinians say it aims to systematically destroy the city and prevent the establishment of the capital of their hoped state. Residents learned about the scheme - which the Israel District Planning and Building Committee called "City Center" - through banners placed on lampposts and walls in the city. The plan covers an area of about 700 dunams (a dunam of one thousand square metres), including the vital area surrounding the Old City in East Jerusalem. The Israeli District Committee announced the project at the end of 2020, and since then Palestinian specialists and experts have been studying it until they came to the conclusion that it should be rejected. Early this year, the Israeli committee set a deadline to object to it, and then the date was extended until the end of last July. However, the acceptance by the Supreme Court - the highest judicial body in Israel - of a petition against defects in translation from Hebrew into Arabic that accompanied the publication of the plan and the method of informing those affected by it led to the postponement of the objection date indefinitely. The plan includes the area extending from Bab al-Amoud, one of the most famous gates of old Jerusalem, through the streets of Sultan Suleiman, Salah al-Din, al-Zahraa and al-Masoudi, to the neighborhoods of Wadi al-Joz and Sheikh Jarrah. The plan does not include the construction of any settlement buildings, but it restricts Palestinian construction in the area for many years to come. Director of the Map Department at the Arab Studies Association, Khalil Al-Tafkaji, says that the scheme for the so-called city center is like a systematic process of destruction of East Jerusalem, noting that the Israeli authorities developed the scheme without consulting the residents, despite their claims that it targets their well-being. A study prepared by experts of the Civil Coalition for the Defense of Palestinian Rights in Jerusalem indicated that the scheme significantly limits the potential for housing development in the area. Palestinian officials, human rights organizations, official and po[CENSORED]r actors called on Palestinians who own real estate in the area of the plan to file objections against it, and it is not clear whether the Israeli authorities will accept their objections.

Amid the desperate mission to evacuate Afghans to the United Kingdom after the Taliban's capture of Kabul, the British defense minister is embroiled in a bitter dispute about the plight of a former soldier and his animal rescue. Former Royal Marine Paul "Pen" Farthing has been seeking to leave Afghanistan with the staff of his Nowzad charity and the dogs and cats for which they cared before the US evacuation deadline at the end of August. Their case has become a major story in the UK and led to regular questions for senior ministers, including Prime Minister Boris Johnson. On Twitter, Farthing claimed that an official working for defense minister Ben Wallace had initially prevented his team and animals from getting flights out of the country where thousands are seeking to leave before a US departure deadline of August 31. His plight, which has been dubbed "Operation Ark", gained wide support on social media, including from some high-profile figures such as actor and comedian Ricky Gervais. “Growing crisis for Prime Minister tonight as MoD (Ministry of Defense) sabotage operation over Operation Ark is exposed & Pen Farthing, his team & animals are left at the mercy of the Taliban in Kabul,” animal welfare campaigner Dominic Dyer wrote on Twitter two days ago. British officials have now given Farthing, his staff and the animals the go-ahead to travel to the UK and said they would facilitate allowing a privately-funded aircraft a landing slot at Kabul to take them back, once they can get into the airport after being processed. But the accusations by Farthing's followers led Wallace to issue a lengthy rebuttal on Twitter on Thursday, in which he said he could not allow anyone to jump the queue and would not prioritise pets over people. “The bullying, falsehoods and threatening behavior by some towards our MOD personnel and advisors is unacceptable and a shameful way to treat people trying to help the evacuation. They do their cause no good,” he wrote. Johnson, whose wife Carrie is an animal rights campaigner, said he had absolutely no influence on any particular case. In his latest tweet, Farthing said he, his team and animals were now waiting to get through the perimeter airport checks. “We have been here for 10 hours after being assured that we would have safe passage. Truly would like to go home now,” he said

The Japanese company, Subaru, announced that it is preparing to unveil the new WRX 2022 model next September, after the cancellation of the New York Auto Show. He was supposed to reveal the car at the New York Auto Show, but the fear of the spread of the Delta Corona strain forced the festival's officials and organizers to make the difficult decision to cancel it. The 2022 Subaru WRX model was also affected by this decision, in addition to the new Nissan Z model, which was also to be presented at the same showroom. Subaru rectified the situation and revealed that next September 10 will witness the official launch of the 2022 WRX model. Subaru was looking forward to its 2022 WRX car, which will have outstanding performance rates and is expected to impress many fans of the Japanese company's models. The Subaru WRX 2022 is launched with a powerful front end with a prominent front grille in addition to the headlights retracted to the rear.

The beginning was with the decision to isolate the board of directors of the White Club headed by Mortada Mansour, weeks before the “Horn of Africa Final”, which brought together Al-Ahly and Zamalek. Stability was absent from the "White Castle", amid attempts by the players and the technical staff of the team led by Portuguese Jaime Pacheco to isolate themselves from what is happening outside the green rectangle.

With the start of the winter transfer season, the events of "terrifying January", as described by local newspapers, began inside the Zamalek club. The beginning was with the Tunisian average, Ferjani Sassi, refusing to renew his contract with the team, and this meant that the player would be “free” at the end of the season, and Zamalek would not make any material gains from his departure deal, and this is what actually happened.

A study published in the "New England Journal of Medicine" showed that the use of the "Pfizer" vaccine slightly increases the risk of heart inflammation, but the risk is greater among those infected with the Corona virus. Based on data from Clalit Health Services, a large medical service provider in Israel, the researchers said that out of every 100,000 people who receive the vaccine, between one and five people are likely to develop myocarditis. They added that that rate is much higher, 11 per 100,000, among those who have been infected with the Corona virus. The data comes days after the approval of the use of the "Pfizer" vaccine in the United States as the first vaccine to be fully approved for those over 16 years of age, a step that is likely to convince skeptics to take the vaccine dose.

https://www.msn.com/ar-ae/news/featured/إثيوبيا-تدعو-أعضاء-مجلس-الأمن-لرفض-مقترح-تونس-بشأن-سد-النهضة/ar-AANM8VY Ethiopian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Demke Mekonnen called on the ambassadors of the member states of the UN Security Council residing in Addis Ababa to reject Tunisia's proposed proposal on the Renaissance Dam. Mekonnen said, during a meeting with the ambassadors of member states of the UN Security Council on Thursday, that there is no justification for raising the issue of the Renaissance Dam by Tunisia to the UN Security Council. Mekonnen affirmed Ethiopia's commitment to resuming the tripartite negotiations under the auspices of the African Union, calling on the ambassadors to convey Ethiopia's message of objection to the Tunisian draft resolution on the Renaissance Dam. In turn, the Ethiopian Minister of Water, Irrigation and Energy, Seleshi Begley, briefed the ambassadors on the draft resolution submitted by Tunisia to the UN Security Council last July, and Ethiopia's position on this issue. Bekali said that the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam is a development project and should not be submitted to the UN Security Council, adding that this issue had not been dealt with before in the Security Council and was referred to the African Union, so there is no justification for raising this issue again. He pointed out that his country is committed to reaching a solution by continuing the tripartite talks sponsored by the African Union, pointing out that it is not appropriate to return the issue to the UN Security Council through Tunisia. Bakli considered that the draft resolution that Tunisia intends to submit again is unacceptable because it violates Ethiopia's right to use its natural resources and takes into account the unfair interests of downstream countries. The Ethiopian Water Minister called on the international community to pressure Sudan and Egypt to resume tripartite negotiations under the auspices of the African Union instead of politicizing the issue. Bakli pointed out that the Democratic Republic of the Congo is preparing to continue resuming tripartite negotiations and to reach an agreement that benefits all parties. And last July, Tunisia submitted to the UN Security Council a draft resolution demanding Addis Ababa to stop filling the reservoir of the Renaissance Dam.

Turtles are not alone Based on scientific studies looking at the ages of animals that live on Earth, giant land turtles are the longest-lived land animals, but they are not the longest-lived on Earth. Jordan Donini, a professor of biology and turtle ecologist at Florida Southwestern State College, tells Live Science; Jonathan and other giant tortoises aren't the only long-lived turtles. "Sea turtles can live from 50 to 100 years, and box turtles live more than a century. Scientists don't know the maximum life span for many turtle species, simply because humans don't live long enough to know." According to a later report - published on Live Science - although there are long-lived land animals such as giant turtles, the animals that live in the water are generally the longest.
