The race witnessed the entry of the safety car for the second time at six o'clock of the event, when it rained heavily and caused a series of accidents in the LMP2 category, perhaps the most prominent of which was Manuel Maldonado's exit from the track and his return through the gravel area to colliding with his colleague, the leader of the class in the ranks "United Autosports" Paul di Resta. With the entry in the seventh hour of the race, the safety car entered for the third time after the Egidio Perfiti slipped on the Porsche Project One and hit the tire barriers. Immediately before entering the race at eight o'clock, the fourth safety car entered, following an accident involving Roy Andraidi in a G-Drive. Robin Frijns, Charles Melzi and Ferdinand Habsburg lead the class in the #31 WRT Eureka ahead of sister car #41 and the #65 Banice Racing. Ferrari takes lead in GTE Pro against Corvette Turning to the GTE Pro class, Ferrari continued to maintain its lead, with the #51 car well ahead of sister car #52 and the #63 Corvette. In the GTE Amateur category, the #83 AF Corset Ferrari inherited the lead over the #80 Iron Link Ferrari.

After they took control of Afghanistan, the scenes of Taliban fighters entering the daily lives of Afghans began to appear more and more day by day, the last of which was during a football match. The newspaper "Daily Mail" reported that Taliban militants attended the football league final match in Herat, Afghanistan, and then presented the championship trophy to the winning team during a campaign to try to harmonize with Afghan society. The Spanish newspaper "Marca" indicated that the match was held on Friday, 4 days after the Taliban entered Kabul, and that hundreds of fans were in the recently renovated stadium. The match brought together the "Attack Energy" and "Hart Money Charger" teams, and the "Attack" team won 1 - 0 with a penalty kick. The "Daily Mail" reported that the "Taliban" is doing its best to improve its image, since its advance to the Afghan capital, Kabul, last week. Related news Deaths in a stampede around Kabul airport..

https://www.msn.com/ar-ae/news/featured/الإمارات-تضمد-جراح-العالم-من-أفغانستان-إلى-اليونان/ar-AANBcRH "Thanks, praise and appreciation for the vital role", this is what the United Arab Emirates was doing in international forums during the past week. An international appreciation of the UAE’s humanitarian role and its non-stop efforts within the strategy of human brotherhood pursued by the state and which places “people first” in its priorities without discrimination, based on geography, race or religion. Not only did the UAE help the countries of the world to evacuate their nationals from Afghanistan in the current circumstances, but also agreed to host 5,000 Afghan nationals who had been evacuated from Afghanistan, prior to their departure to other countries. The UAE has also become a focal point in the evacuation efforts from Afghanistan, as part of its humanitarian efforts to facilitate all parties in these circumstances. Hosting and evacuating... The UAE's humanitarian hand in Afghanistan saves thousands In addition to its humanitarian efforts during the Afghan crisis, relief initiatives around the world did not stop. Abu Dhabi Airport received a medical evacuation plane carrying a number of injured from the explosion of the Akkar region in Lebanon for treatment in state hospitals, embodying the firm approach of the UAE to stand by its brothers in different circumstances. In terms of providing relief to victims of natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, volcanoes and fires, the UAE has always been present to extend a helping hand, help and support the affected and the afflicted. As part of the latest of these efforts, the UAE, through its humanitarian arm "Red Crescent", has operated over the past days an air bridge to transport urgent humanitarian aid to enhance the protection of civilians affected by the fires in Greece. Initiatives recorded in the history of humanity in letters from the light of the Emirates and of Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, whose directives and initiatives contributed to crowning the Emirates as the capital of humanity, strengthening human brotherhood and supporting and providing relief to those in need around the world. American Thanks As part of the latest messages of thanks to the UAE for its humanitarian efforts during the Afghan crisis, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, yesterday evening, Saturday, received a phone call from US President Joe Biden. During the call, Biden expressed his thanks and appreciation for the support and facilities provided by the UAE in the evacuation of American diplomats and nationals from Afghanistan, as well as citizens of friendly countries, as well as Afghans who hold visas for these countries. "We highly appreciate the UAE's humanitarian efforts to facilitate the safe transit of American citizens, embassy employees, and foreigners who have been evacuated from Kabul to third countries," the US president said. . Spanish appreciation In this context, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan received a phone call that evening from Pedro Sanchez, Prime Minister of Spain, in which he expressed his deep thanks and appreciation for the humanitarian efforts made by the UAE in facilitating the evacuation of Spanish citizens from Afghanistan, in addition to the evacuation of diplomats and nationals of many friendly countries. . During the call, Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and the Spanish Prime Minister touched on regional developments and a number of issues of common interest. international acclaim The American and Spanish thanks came after calls of thanks and gratitude and appreciation from a number of countries around the world to the UAE for its humanitarian efforts during the Afghan crisis.

FOR AS LONG as I can remember, I've had trouble falling asleep at night. Like many people, I struggle with intrusive thoughts and find it hard to switch off. Bedtimes conversation replays, worries about my kids, or my greatest-hits reel of social blunders and embarrassing gaffes. Early waking, hungry cats, tweeting birds, and an insistent bladder have all played a part in my insomnia. Whatever the cause, burning the candle at both ends has me feeling stressed, anxious, and desperate. That’s how I arrived at Sleepio, a six-week digital course that employs cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to overcome sleep problems, developed by Colin Espie, professor of sleep medicine at the University of Oxford. Big Health cofounder Peter Hames battled chronic insomnia but found success with CBT techniques after reading one of Espie's books. The two then partnered to develop Sleepio to bring evidence-based, cognitive-behavioral techniques to the sleep-deprived masses. I'm happy to say it worked for me. For the first time in years, I'm regularly sleeping for seven-hour stretches. Sleep Woes Far too many people get less than the seven hours per night recommended for adults. Sleep disorders come in many forms, but more than a third of adults in the US suffer occasional insomnia symptoms, and one in 10 have a chronic condition, according to the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Treatment generally falls into two camps; pharmacological or the aforementioned CBT. “Some clinical trials have compared the two, and the results are really astonishing,” says Rebecca Robbins, a sleep scientist with the Division of Sleep and Circadian Disorders at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School. “We see that the behavioral component does as well if not better than the pharmacological treatment.” Drugs come with side effects and often mask symptoms rather than tackling the root of the problem. Anecdotally, medication leaves me feeling unpleasantly groggy in the morning and does little for the quality of my writing. Both the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and the American College of Physicians now prefer non-drug therapies, including behavioral therapies, as the first line of treatment for insomnia. I've also tried several sleep gadgets and apps that promise a good night's shut-eye without much success. Understanding what will work and how to choose with such a bewildering array of options is tough. “The market can be kind of the Wild West, because not everything has been developed with an eye to the scientific literature,” Robbins says. “To sift through the noise as a consumer, look at products and see if they have either been tested in a clinical trial or if they've been developed in partnership with anyone who has a background in sleep science or sleep medicine.” Sleepio Success Sleepio's course involves weekly 20-minute sessions, with several techniques to change particular habits. SLEEPIO VIA SIMON HILL One of Espie's conditions in agreeing to help develop Sleepio was a randomized placebo-controlled trial, like this one, to test the efficacy and safety of the software before release. In 12 trials, with over 9,000 participants, Sleepio was proven to help people fall asleep 54 percent faster, spend 62 percent less time awake at night, and have 45 percent better functioning the following day. After following the six-week course, I'm finally getting seven hours of sleep if not more every night. It's wonderful. But I won't lie to you—it has not been easy. The sessions are just 20 minutes, once a week, but you must keep a comprehensive sleep diary to get tailored advice and techniques to improve the quality of your slumber. It's not a quick fix. Just as a fitness tracker alone can't help you lose weight, Sleepio demands commitment and determination. You have to change your habits, and that's hard. No more doomscrolling or watching TV in bed. No nightcaps or late-night snacks, and no lying awake for longer than 15 minutes without getting up. Perhaps the most challenging of all is the sleep compression, which restricts your sleep to set hours— between midnight and 6 am, for example—gradually increasing the window in 15-minute increments as your sleep efficiency improves. Alongside a healthier bedtime routine and environment, Sleepio offered me a few techniques to deal with problematic thoughts. Mindfulness exercises helped reduce my stress; developing my imagery skills allowed me to relax; And either accepting or challenging worrisome thoughts enabled me to reduce their negative impact. On occasion, I failed to abide by a few Sleepio rules, but I mostly followed the advice and parked my skepticism at the door. A few weeks in, the results spoke for themselves. I've gone from an average of five hours of sleep a night when I started three months ago to seven hours and five minutes in recent weeks.

When it comes to the different elements of gaming monitor performance, players must often choose between speed and resolution. The laws of bandwidth dictate that if resolution is greater, it will take more graphics power from the PC to produce the same framerate. And even when one has a top-performing video card, 240 frames per second (fps) on a 1440p monitor might be more compelling than 144 fps on a 4K screen. 4K is the gold standard for resolution. 3840 x 2160 pixels, or 8.3 megapixels, is the top tier, excluding a few very exclusive 8K products that are mostly found in the TB realm. To date, not even the best 4K gaming monitors can move beyond 144 Hz. Considering the overall gaming monitor market, 144 Hz should be considered a starting point for speed, but for some, only the most pixels will do. Recently, we've seen a push to larger 4K monitors with 43-inch models from every major manufacturer. But for the average desktop, a 32-inch screen is an easier physical fit. Gigabyte fills the latter niche with the Aorus FI32U($1,000 as of writing), an IPS screen with about as much speed as you can find among 4K panels. The Gigabyte Aorus FI32U is packed with gaming features and performance enhancing technology. The panel is called Fast IPS and claims a 1ms response time. Our tests showed its prowess with some of the lowest input lag scores of any 4K screen. The FI32U also supports AMD FreeSync Premium Pro natively over a 48 to 144 Hz range. Nvidia hasn't certified the FI32U, but we verified flawless G-Sync operation in both SDR and HDR modes across the same range as FreeSync Premium Pro. The FI32U enhances its contrast with a local dimming feature. Though it is not a full-array zone dimming (FALD) panel, it uses selective edge dimming, which raises SDR and HDR contrast significantly. The FI32U also achieves VESA DisplayHDR 400 certification, which won't on its own make for the best HDR monitor but ensures a maximum brightness of at least 400 nits. Assembly and Accessories of Gigabyte Aorus FI32U You can assemble the FI32U's panel, upright and base without tools and form a sturdy package that exudes quality. We had to take care when snapping on the panel so that we didn't damage the tiny contacts between the stand and monitor, which power the RGB lighting feature that extends to the Aorus logo and trim strips on the upright. The cable bundle features USB 3.0, USB-C, HDMI and DisplayPort. We also received IEC power cords for three different electrical systems. Product 360: Gigabyte Aorus FI32U

4 Palestinian youths were killed by the Israeli occupation soldiers who stormed the city of Jenin and its camp in the West Bank at dawn today, Monday. Palestinian sources said that the occupation kidnapped the bodies of two of the martyrs. The Palestinian News Agency quoted medical sources as confirming the martyrdom of the young men: Saleh Ahmad Muhammad Ammar, Amjad Iyad Husayniyeh from Jenin refugee camp, Raed Ziyad Abdul Latif Abu Seif, and Noureddin Abdul Ilah Jarrar from Jenin. A force of the occupation army stormed Jenin refugee camp at about 4:00 am, where violent clashes erupted between the resistance fighters and the Israeli soldiers. Activist in the camp, Muhammad Abu Al-Feda Al-Shalabi, said in a phone call to Al-Jazeera Net that dozens of soldiers stormed the camp through private vehicles carrying Palestinian registration plates believed to be ice cream trucks (frozen sweets), and raided the homes of citizens and took over their roofs, especially the sniper teams, before other foot forces moved in. To the camp and its alleys, violent confrontations take place between the resistance fighters and the soldiers.

The CEO of pet food start-up Because Animals, Shannon Falconer, doesn't eat meat and hasn't for years, but the former Stanford microbiologist and longtime animal rescue volunteer says she never denied her pets the meat they craved. After all, cats are carnivores and dogs are omnivores in the wild. Falconer and Because Animals co-founder Joshua Errett (also an experienced animal rescuer) has been working to make pet foods that cater to cats' and dogs' “ancestral diet,” but do not require slaughtering animals, or raising them in an industrial setting . This week, the start-up is bringing its Harmless Hunt Cultured Mouse Cat Treats, their first clean meat product, to SuperZoo one of the biggest trade shows in the pet food industry. The treats are made with mouse tissue grown from stem cells in a food-grade bioreactor on a vegan medium, Falconer explained. No mice were killed to make the treats, but scientists had to take cells from the ears of donor mice to get started. The process involved putting a mouse under a mild anesthetic while their ear was pierced. Two years later, the donor mice are doing well, Falconer says. Employees of Because Animals adopted all three of them, and they live in a rather plush mouse house. Most companies involved in the nascent clean meat industry are focused on producing food for humans. These include: the Dutch start-up Mosa Meat which garnered buzz with the world's first cultured beef burger in 2013; Israeli venture Aleph Farms, which is making “slaughter-free steaks”; Upside Foods in California, which is making cultured chicken and duck; and Bluu Biosciences developers of cultured seafoods from fish cells, among many others. As CNBC previously reported, the market for alternative meat -- including clean meat -- is expected to reach $140 billion over the next decade, capturing about 10% of the $1.4 trillion global meat industry. Clean meat is not without its critics. Nobody has managed to scale lab-grown meat production to levels that show promise for feeding the world quite yet. Additionally, University of Oxford researchers have noted, “It is not yet clear what the emissions footprints of real cultured production systems will look like.” At the same time, animal tech advances promise to make the traditional meat industry healthier, and more sustainable. Still, venture investors have jumped at the opportunity to disrupt the traditional industry, and hopefully, lessen the negative environmental impacts of global meat consumption. According to a PitchBook analysis, 66 clean meat start-ups have raised $1.77 billion in venture funding from 382 distinct investors already. For its part, because Animals has raised $6.7 million to date, from investors including SOSV, Draper Associates and Orkla. SOSV is one of the most active investors in this space, with at least 10 clean meat companies in its portfolio as of July 2021. A general partner with SOSV, Bill Liao, said Because Animals may cut a faster path to mass production than other clean meat companies. For one, Because Animals isn't making tiny mouse meat steaks -- it just needs to produce enough cultured mouse tissue to give its pet food a flavor profile cats and dogs will love. (The company's new treats do include other ingredients like cultured yeasts and pumpkin, Falconer told CNBC.) He added, “One of the biggest challenges in cellular agriculture is sustainable, inexpensive media.” Because Animals has developed that very thing — and it's vegan. Many other clean meat ventures have relied on fetal bovine serum, derived from the blood of animals, to help grow and duplicate animal cells for their products. FBS is highly expensive, however, and its use rankles animal rights and climate climate. Because Animals developed its own animal-free formulation, and Liao believes the technology will be broadly applicable, possibly beyond pet foods. Falconer, for the time being, says she is focused on the growing pet food category. The CEO decided to pursue sustainable pet food while she was working as a postdoctoral research fellow at Stanford University’s School of Medicine, she recalls.

Tokyo, August 16 (dpa) - Toyota launched the off-road Cross version of its Yaris icon. The Japanese company explained that its car, which belongs to the SUV category, has a ground clearance more than the traditional model by 30 mm, and it also appears with an independent design character and muscular features on the square-shaped wheel housing. The five-seater off-road vehicle stands at 4.18 meters in length on 18-inch wheels, and can accommodate 390 liters of luggage behind the wide rear lid thanks to the 2.56-meter wheelbase. The car relies on a hybrid system with a total power of 85 kW / 116 hp, which can be distributed to all four wheels in some versions. Due to this force, the car accelerates from stability to 100 km / h in 11.2 seconds, while the top speed reaches 170 km / h. The car can drive only a few kilometers, relying on electric motors. The average fuel consumption of the car is 4.3 liters / 100 km. The car has a modern cabin with a multifunction steering wheel behind it that shows the digital gauges, with a Head-up display. The car also relies on an advanced multimedia system, a navigation system with real-time traffic data, and a smart phone integration system via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Barcelona striker Martin Braithwaite expressed his happiness after scoring two goals in the team's first match of the new season of the Spanish League, which ended with the Blaugrana's victory over Real Sociedad by four goals to two. "I'm feeling great right now," Braithwaite said after the match. "You scored two goals and won the match and defended a lot as well." "In addition to all that, the fans were on the field. This was very important because the fans expect a lot from us and we have done a good job and we continue to improve." Braithwaite scored the second goal in the 45+2 minute after a cross from Frenkie de Jong, and scored the third in the 59th minute. Not only that, but the Danish striker made the Catalan team's fourth goal in the 91st minute, with a decisive pass to Sergi Roberto, who put it in front of the empty goal. "I'm happy with the two goals and the assist too, you can imagine that it's my evolution in my work, it's what I've been working for all week," Braithwaite added. "It was a good summer and I got my confidence back and I feel very good at the moment, and I will continue to improve throughout the season." Braithwaite joined Barcelona in February 2020 as an emergency deal after Luis Suarez was injured, and also reached the semi-finals of Euro 2020 with Denmark before leaving at the hands of England.

https://www.msn.com/ar-ae/news/featured/بالصور-سيول-تدمر-بلدات-تركية-وتقتل-العشرات/ar-AANn8Pe At least 70 people have died in Turkey due to torrential rains that swept through towns in the country's Black Sea provinces, while emergency workers continue to search for 47 missing persons. The floods brought chaos last week, washing away dozens of cars and piles of rubble in the streets, destroying buildings and bridges, blocking roads and damaging electricity infrastructure. Sixty people were killed as a result of the torrential rains in Kastamonu province, while the Disaster and Emergency Management Department said that nine others were killed in Sinop and one person was killed in Bartin, and 47 are missing in Kastamonu and Sinop, according to "Reuters". Drone footage showed extensive damage to the town of Bozkurt in Kastamonu province, where rescue teams searched the rubble of destroyed buildings at the weekend.

Over the past few weeks, multiple leaks have revealed tidbits about Xiaomi's upcoming sub-premium devices, the Mi 11T series. Most of those leaks have been positive, but the latest one yet could very well dampen the excitement of expectant fans. According to new information from Xiaomiui, the Mi 11T, codenamed "Amber", will be powered by a MediaTek processor. Public opinion typically leans towards Qualcomm's Snapdragon series being better than MediaTek's offerings. As such, this is unlikely to thrill fans of the series, especially since the Mi 9T and Mi 10T were both equipped with Snapdragon chipsets. Supposedly, the Mi 11T's main camera will be OmniVision's OV64B. Not a bad sensor per se but that's the same sensor used on the Redmi Note 10, and fans may have been expecting more powerful hardware. The 64 MP main camera will be joined by an IMX355 sensor behind an ultra-wide lens. The IMX355 is an 8 MP sensor from 2018 that was used on the Pixel 3's selfie camera. Hardly sensational. The third camera will be a 3x tele-macro shooter. It appears Xiaomi will launch an identical device as the Redmi K40 Ultra in China. That device, codenamed "Agate", will offer the same hardware while replacing the 64 MP camera with a 108 MP HM2—the main sensor on the Redmi Note 10 Pro. The Redmi K40 Ultra will use the same software as the Mi 11T thanks to a shared chipset. The Redmi K30 Ultra was powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1000+, so we can expect both the Mi 11T and Redmi K40 Ultra to sport MediaTek's Dimensity 1200.

SaaS was once only available to larger councils but now local authorities of all sizes can benefit from it, writes Ian Owen, public sector industry director at TechnologyOne. Sponsored comment from TechnologyOne. At a time of great challenge and change in local government we are seeing a pattern emerge; one that not only supports economy, efficiency and effectiveness, but one that enables councils to flex to meet the challenges of the 'new normal' head-on. For some time, councils have struggled to manage legacy back-office application estates. Traditional on-premises systems and solutions require councils to maintain large investments in hardware, software, network, storage, databases, security and compliance. The ongoing high cost of maintaining complex on-premise environments means that key business systems frequently miss important upgrades and do not receive the benefit of new features and functionality – all of which increases the risk of security threats and breaches, and results in lower productivity. The pattern we are now seeing, however, is a move from non-integrated legacy back-office solutions to integrated Software as a Service (SaaS) – something that in years gone by was only available to larger councils but is now available to local authorities of all sizes. SaaS presents an opportunity for an organization to simplify back-office operations by removing the complexities of a self-managed on-premise implementation. It removes the requirement to install or maintain the infrastructure associated with on-premise systems, reducing and/or eliminating complexity. An integrated SaaS solution can enable a council to streamline its processes and mobilise its workforce. It can enable the organization to stay up to date, avoiding the downtime of legacy application upgrades and benefit from greater automation, more flexible business processes and the efficiency that a modern solution and user interface can bring. Council decision makers need better access to data, reports and analytics to facilitate data driven insight and decision making. Better budgeting and forecasting, the ability to slice and dice information along with the ability to drill down to all source documents without having to log in to multiple systems helps improve efficiency. The drive to remove paper, reduce data duplication/manual input and enable self-service is also paramount for a modern council. As work is what you do, not necessarily a place you go, access needs to be available to all users across all departments whenever and they need it. A modern SaaS solution should support all these requirements, so it is no surprise to see that councils of all sizes are indeed taking advantage of the SaaS revolution – an example of this is Huntingdonshire DC.

The economy is important not only to states, governments, and politicians, but also to citizens of all kinds. Just as its strength reflects the strength and influence of the state and the administration based on it, it shapes the level of well-being of the po[CENSORED]tion in a state and their standard of living. Economics and politics are two sides of the same coin, which is a largely correct sentence, and while some tend to say that politics is what drives the economy, often (and perhaps most of the time) the economy drives politics.

Throughout history, the rational management of the economy has been the key to the renaissance, progress and prosperity of peoples, as the successful management of state resources provides additional resources to be invested in other aspects, such as improving education and health services, building a strong army and owning reliable scientific research. On the other hand, the unwise management and the continuous deterioration of state resources are usually the cause of the decline of civilizations, the collapse of nations, the spread of poverty, disease, corruption and the suffering of peoples. History has witnessed such cases since the time of the Greeks, through the medieval empires, to our present era.

History has witnessed such cases since the time of the Greeks, through the medieval empires, to our present era. But what exactly is the concept of economy, which makes it so important that it constitutes the future and present of nations, and is it simple in anything to manage it as a single unit? What is the concept of economics? In short, it can be said that the economy is a broad group of productive activities that are matched by a broad consumption activity, between which there is a process of exchange (buying and selling) that helps to know the best way to employ the scarce resources of the state. The processes of production, consumption and distribution of goods and services are managed, with the aim of meeting the needs of those po[CENSORED]tions who live and work within the economy (the economic system), a role that is critical to making the most of the factors of production and resources. The economy consists of several different markets, the primary role of which is to bring together buyers and sellers, and the markets of the economy are used as mechanisms for managing scarce resources in the economy, as we mentioned previously, according to the “Future Learn” educational site. Taking a closer look, it can be said that the economy consists of consumers who constitute one of the most important parties to the system and who buy products and services and indirectly contribute to determining prices and market needs. The economic system, on the other hand, consists of companies that employ consumers themselves as their employees and produce goods, as well as the government that plays various roles as it buys products, employs labor and imposes taxes. The interaction of all these parties together creates the economy. The deteriorating economic situation in Lebanon, March 23, 2021 © REUTERS / MOHAMED AZAKIR What is the economic crisis? Does it happen on purpose? An efficient economy allows for easier mobility of labor, that is, it makes the hiring process easier, and it makes the process of getting services easier for consumers, including individuals and businesses. This efficiency makes the development of the economy easier, and consequently its size increases, which results in the creation of more jobs, reducing unemployment and increasing the income and expenditure of the po[CENSORED]tion. Thus, demand rises and companies increase their production, in a circle that stimulates economic growth, and this accelerated activity enhances state revenues from taxes and export revenues, and thus the government has greater resources to improve the welfare of the citizen. There is a great and direct relationship between achieving this efficiency and having effective logistics services, as good transport and logistics play an important role in allocating scarce resources easily (which is the primary task of the economic system). What are the types of economy? Market economy This type of economy allows individuals and companies to buy and sell goods and services freely. Supply and demand are the primary determinant of prices and the main catalyst for production. The United States is the largest and closest example of this concept, where consumers and producers determine what is sold and produced. Since the producer owns what he makes, he is the one who decides his own prices, but in return the consumer also has the purchase decision and the authority to determine the amount he wants to spend, but in the end both are subject to the laws of supply and demand that determine prices and the amount of total production. Simply put, if consumer demand for a specific commodity increases, prices will tend to rise, because the market translates into that consumers are willing to spend more for this commodity, and at the same time, the production forces tend to increase the level of production of this commodity to meet demand, since the catalyst The first for producers is profitability. Accordingly, the market economy, by its nature, tends to achieve a balance between supply and demand, and this nature contributes when prices rise in a sector due to demand, in directing the money and labor needed towards it to meet the increasing demand pressures.

Those who argue for the possibility of animal suicide — most are quick to note that they are not certain it happens — call this “anthropo-denial.” That is, they think prima facie dismissal of the possibility that animals might think and act in ways perceived as uniquely human is too hasty. They maintain instead that these capabilities ought to be viewed on a spectrum. While animal grief — or depression or joy or anger — might not manifest in the same ways it does in humans doesn't mean it isn't real. So it is with suicide, they insist. “We need to learn to sit with that: not knowing for sure either way and adopting a position of what I call epistemic humility. We need to be open to the possibility that we cannot rule it out,” says David Peña-Guzman, a professor of philosophy at San Francisco State University and author of a 2017 paper on the subject. The article, published in the journal Animal Sentience, was accompanied by a variety of responses from other experts in the field, who completely objected to and supported his claims. Peña-Guzman authored a follow up that addressed his critics in 2018. “The funny thing was the critics realizing that they actually disagreed with each other,” he recalls. Indeed, the question is profoundly complex and affirmative evidence rests mainly on singular observations and inference rather than empirical evidence. Interpretations vary accordingly. Jane Goodall memorably recounted the death of one of her chimpanzee subjects, Flint, who seemingly lost the will to live and died a month after the death of his mother Flo in Gombe National Park in Tanzania. Similar instances have been noted in dogs and elephants. These are startling observations to be sure, but are they suicide in the sense we would use it to describe a human death? Even in cases in which the victim is under extreme duress or mentally unstable, we typically think of suicide as having some element of intent. We can't prove that Flint intentionally starved himself — it's simply unknowable. “I think it's sort of like a dark matter,” says one of the respondents to Peña-Guzman's paper, Ryan Hediger, who researches animal studies and teaches English at Kent State University. “There are behaviors out there that we just haven't seen enough to really be able to interpret.” Some self-destructive behaviors in the animal kingdom, it's worth noting, are almost certainly not suicide in any meaningful sense of the word. Ants and aphids will explode when approached by predators, benefiting their conspecifics. And some bee species abandon their nests when parasitized by flies in order to protect their colony. Though research on invertebrate sentience has indicated that insects might be able to feel pain, for instance, these behaviors are almost certainly instinctive and not motivated by individual decision making. So, too, the apparent suicides of lemmings who throw themselves from cliffs are more likely an accidental consequence of overpo[CENSORED]tion than a conscious leap into the abyss. Intentional or Otherwise Others are far more ambiguous. Famed field biologist George Schaller recounts an instance where a water buffalo, maimed by lions, had escaped and returned to its herd. Then, inexplicably, it left the safety of its group and allowed the lions to finish the job. Did it intentionally allow its predators to end its life, knowing that it could not survive the injuries they had inflicted? Or was it motivated by something else entirely — delirium or a desire to draw predators away from its group? Another case cited in the animal suicide literature is equally subjective in its interpretation. In her 2013 book How Animals Grieve, Barbara King relates the story of a mother bear who, along with her cub, was subjected to the brutal practice of bile milking. In this procedure, which is largely carried out in Asian countries, catheters are inserted into bears in order to extract bile — traditionally believed to have medicinal properties. The mother bear supposedly broke free of her restraints, smothered her cub, and then smashed herself into a wall, ending her own life. That this animal intentionally killed her offspring and then herself in order to escape a miserable existence does not seem terribly plausible. More likely, she panicked or had been driven to a frenzied state due to the torturous conditions she had been subjected to. Cases like these illustrate the major challenges in assessing the possibility of animal suicide. An animal would have to have a sense of self, an understanding of what death actually means, and the ability to execute a series of actions that he knew would lead to his own death. There is some indication of the former two capacities, but the latter is indiscernible. The fact that dolphins and some primates appear to engage in mourning for their dead is probably not sufficient to indicate that they actually understand and are able to facilitate their own mortality. Even assuming that observers like O'Barry

The American company Apple, the maker of smart phones and electronic devices, is back in search of a car company to cooperate with in order to make its self-driving electric car. Reports revealed that Apple is negotiating with some Korean suppliers to support the project to manufacture its self-driving electric cars. Apple's negotiations with Korean suppliers come after a long way from negotiations with many car companies such as Hyundai, Kia, Nissan and Volkswagen, but all of these negotiations reached a dead end in the end. Apple is thinking during the coming period of negotiating with many Korean companies to obtain important parts in its car to facilitate the manufacturing process. Reports indicate that Apple may cooperate with the famous company LG in the world of electronics in the manufacture of the electric motor for the car of the American company. Apple is also negotiating with SK Innovation, a leader in the electric battery industry. Apple is known for its desire to rely on (lithium-iron-phosphate) batteries, because they are considered the safest compared to lithium-ion batteries, which are relied on in most electric cars because of their cheapness compared to the batteries that Apple wants to use. And the obstacle of performance of (lithium-iron-phosphate) batteries in cold weather compared to other batteries is a challenge for Apple that it will work to overcome in order to progress in the process of relying on it with its self-driving car. A crisis inside Apple because of its self-driving car And press reports revealed a crisis within the American company Apple, which specializes in the manufacture of smart phones and electronic devices, due to its self-driving car. Apple has not yet reached an agreement with any major car company to manufacture its new car, which has begun to put pressure on the famous American company in the field of technology. Apple has been silent during the previous months and refused to disclose the details of its negotiations with the companies, in the hope of reaching a final, enforceable agreement. Reports described Apple during this period as "desperate" in the search for a partner to manufacture the car. And some reports mention that Apple is negotiating during this period with Foxconn, a global company specialized in the field of electronics, in order to reach a partnership between them that contributes to the emergence of the expected Apple electric car. While the report did not mention in the event of reaching an agreement between Apple and Foxconn, who will make the car practically so far! Some other reports speak of discussions between Apple with LG and the Canadian company Magna, which specializes in mobility technology and the car industry, to produce an Apple car for self-driving. During the previous period, the name of Apple was associated with many car companies, such as Hyundai, Kia and Nissan, but it seems that these negotiations did not reach a good meeting point between the American company and car companies. The possibility of an Apple car appearing by 2024 or the following year remains in the event that Apple continues to struggle to find a partner. While the Apple car may appear faster if an agreement is reached between Apple, LG and Magna to manufacture the car. Perhaps Apple's arrival in an agreement with Foxconn is a good opportunity, especially as it is working to establish production lines for electric cars in the North American continent. Foxconn is expected to make a decision on the location of its main plant in North America by the summer of 2021. Kia shares rise in the stock market after being linked to Apple again Reports linking the well-known South Korean car maker, Kia, and Apple are back again in order to build a self-driving car. Economic reports indicate that Kia shares rose in the trading of the Korean stock exchange during the last hours due to a report that revealed the continuation of Kia and Apple negotiations despite what was rumored during the previous period that the negotiations did not succeed and actually stopped. During the previous period, Kia denied that there was any talks with Apple to develop self-driving cars through the system that Apple made for self-driving. On the other hand, one of the Korean websites specialized in the field of car manufacturing expected that the denial was related to the production of the car completely, and that the current negotiations between the two parties concern solutions for future mobility and some other technical fields. Apple officials have maintained that they do not comment on any of this news, and neither Kia officials have responded explicitly to this matter. Nissan may replace Kia in manufacturing the Apple car Apple, which specializes in the manufacture of electronic devices and smart phones, is still studying its position on cooperating with a car company to make its new car with a self-driving system of its own. After Apple approached an agreement with the South Korean brand Kia, the American company did not reach an agreement with the Korean brand, which led to the suspension of negotiations between them despite their reaching an advanced stage. The reports are in the interest of the Japanese company Nissan, which has a role to enter into negotiations with Apple to manufacture its future self-driving car. It seems that Nissan is ready for this cooperation, as CEO Linsan Makoto Uchida hinted during his last press conference that new initiatives and partnerships must be taken with different entities that have knowledge and experience. Experts expected that Nissan's statements indicate the Japanese company's welcome to cooperate with Apple to manufacture and build its new self-driving car. These statements may lead Nissan and Apple to secret negotiations during the coming period, which may reveal reports and sources about them from within the two entities. Nissan is not the only candidate for cooperation with Apple during the coming period, as some reports have put the German company BMW among the candidates to cooperate with the American company in order to make a self-driving car with unique capabilities.
