Mexico recovered from the United States an Olmec statue representing the "Earth Beast"

The United States returned to Mexico a giant stone statue known as the "Earth Beast", dating back to the pre-Christian Olmec civilization, according to what the Mexican authorities announced.


The National Institute of Anthropology and History said in a statement that the finely carved statue weighs more than a ton and is about 1.8 meters long and one and a half meters wide.


Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard tweeted that Mexico's consul in New York, Jorge Islas, had assured him that "the Olmec statue has been recovered and is about to return to the home from which it was never supposed to come out."


Authorities have reported that around 10,000 pieces have been recovered since 2018 as part of the Mexican government's efforts to salvage the antiquities that were taken out of the country.


The Olmec civilization preceded the Mayan and Aztec civilizations, and its craftsmen were known for their sculptures, which were huge stone heads, statues, and vertical panels.


The institute suggested that the statue was carved between the years 800 and 400 BC.


The institute stated that this piece, known as Monument No. 9 of Chalcatsingo and discovered in the state of Morelos in central Mexico, represents the "earth beast", a creature that often appears in the art of the Olmec civilization.


It is not known when and how the statue was illegally taken from Chalkazingo, but "what is certain is that it was discovered by archaeologist David Grove" in the magazine "American Antiquity" in 1968.


Accordingly, "it is believed to have been in the United States since the second half of the twentieth century," according to the statement, which did not indicate where the US authorities found the piece.

22 dead in tornadoes and storms in the United States

Twenty-two people were killed in powerful hurricanes and storms that struck the central and southern United States, destroying a large number of buildings, according to a new death toll announced by the authorities on Saturday.


Seven people were killed in East Memphis, McNairy County, Tennessee, Maggie Henan, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Disaster Management Agency, told AFP.


These are added to 15 other deaths in the states of Arkansas, Mississippi and Alabama in the south of the country, Indiana and Illinois in the middle east and Delaware on the east coast.


And in the state of Delaware, a "building collapse" in Sussex killed one person on Saturday night, according to the county rescue center.


And the Meteorological Administration warned neighboring states such as Pennsylvania and New York of strong winds and possible tornadoes.


Devastating tornadoes hit Arkansas Friday, where at least five people were killed, rural southern state governor Sarah Huckabee said at a news conference.


Mississippi Disaster Management Services reported that one person was killed and two injured in Pontotoc County, 200 kilometers south of Memphis.


An elderly person was killed in Alabama when a tornado hit his home, according to authorities in Huntsville, near the Tennessee border.

The Prime Minister of Finland is looking forward to a second term in difficult legislative elections

Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin , 37, who enjoys popularity at home and abroad, faces stiff competition Sunday from the right or even anti-immigration nationalists, in legislative elections that could end her rule.


Polling stations opened their doors on Sunday morning in this northern European country with a population of 5.5 million, and about forty of its voters voted in advance.


The head of government ranks third in opinion polls, but with a slight difference from the leader of the National Coalition (center-right), Petteri Orbo, and the leader of the anti-immigrant and Eurosceptic Finns Party, Rika Bora.


The position of prime minister is traditionally occupied by the leader of the party that obtains the largest number of votes in the elections, in a rule tacitly agreed upon without exception since 1987, provided that he is able to collect a majority in Parliament.


The current scenario is exciting because the difference between the three parties is very small, while Finland is preparing to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the coming days in a historic step.


"Everyone has a chance to win and of course we want to win to continue our work for a more sustainable future," Marin told reporters Saturday, pledging to "take care of ordinary Finns."


According to the latest opinion poll, the results of which were published on Thursday, the National Coalition will come to the fore with 19.8 percent of the vote, ahead of the Finns Party (19.5 percent) and then the Social Democratic Party led by Marin (18.7 percent). These differences are slight and fall within the margin. The error.


On the eve of the elections, the right-wing rival of the prime minister said Saturday that he was "optimistic".


And after the advance of nationalists in neighboring Sweden and the victory of the far right in Italy last year, will Finland become the last country for the populist nationalist wave in Europe?


The "Finns' Party", which has existed for more than twenty years in Finnish political life, was not occupied by the vanguard in an election, and Bora (45 years), who has led the party for two years, said Saturday, "I hope to be a good surprise."


A split in 2017 led to a more hard line in the party leadership.


The party is officially considering what it calls "Fixit", that is, a Finnish exit from the European Union, even if that is just "tactical" propaganda, as confirmed by Juho Rakkonen, professor of political science at the "E2 Research" institute.


The analyst said that the party was able to benefit more than other formations from the current wave of inflation and is at the forefront of youth voting intentions by distinguishing itself from the rest of the political class.


Räkkönen added that the driver of the good polls for what used to be called "real Finns" was "high energy prices and a general decline in purchasing power".


Sana Marin, the youngest female head of government in the world when she came to power at the end of 2019, achieved great popularity for her good management of the Covid-19 epidemic and the issue of joining NATO, which her party rejected before the war in Ukraine.


"We went through difficult years, but we overcame the difficulties together," the leader told her supporters on Friday.


However, the economy is the main argument of the opposition attack, which denounces the rise of 10 points of GDP in public debt over four years, to 73 percent.


"Marin does not please everyone," said Juho Räkkonen. "Although she is exceptionally popular, she stirs up opposition and deepens the political divide." "One politician alone is not enough," he added.


Her five-party government coalition has also been struggling for months. Its centrist ally has announced that it will refuse to renew this alliance.


Voting takes place from nine o'clock (06:00 GMT) to 20:00 (17:00 GMT), provided that the first partial results of the pre-vote will be published.


The competition is taking place for two hundred seats in a country where it usually takes about six weeks to form a government.


So Marin will have to remain at the helm of the acting government next week when Finland formally joins NATO after receiving the last necessary green light from Turkey on Thursday.


The outcome of the practical elections cannot be derailed because now all major parties are in favor of joining NATO.

Satellite images reveal high nuclear activity in North Korea

Satellite images have revealed a high level of activity at North Korea 's main nuclear complex , a think tank said, after the country's leader Kim Jong Un called Tuesday for increased production of "military nuclear material".


The US-based 38 North said that satellite imagery, taken between March 3 and 17, indicated that construction of a light water reactor at the Yongbyon site was "almost completed".


The report of the intellectual organization stated that the images reveal that the construction of a building has begun and water discharge from the cooling system has been monitored, indicating that the reactor is preparing for its "operation".


He added that a 5-megawatt reactor in Yongbyon continues to operate and that new construction work has begun around the site's uranium enrichment plant, likely to increase its capacity.


"38 North" said, "These developments seem to reflect Kim Jong-un's recent directive to increase the production of fissile material to bolster his nuclear arsenal."


On Tuesday, North Korean state media published pictures of Kim inspecting a row of small warheads that appear to be tactical nuclear warheads, and he called for an increase in the production of "military nuclear materials" in order to "significantly" increase the production of nuclear weapons.


Experts believe that tactical nuclear weapons are an indication that North Korea is making technical progress and appears to indicate that the country is preparing for a seventh nuclear test.


Seoul and Washington have been warning North Korea since the beginning of 2022 of a new nuclear test.


The two allies have stepped up their joint military exercises, while Pyongyang continues to conduct missile tests and accuses Seoul of causing the deterioration of regional security.


On Sunday, the official Korean Central News Agency condemned the series of joint exercises conducted by Washington and Seoul, warning of North Korea's "nuclear attack capability".


The North Korean military, which has doubled its military exercises in recent weeks, said Tuesday it had conducted a second test of what it described as an "unmarried underwater nuclear attack" mechanism.


Pyongyang confirmed in 2022 that its status as a nuclear power is "irreversible", and the North Korean leader ordered his army this month to intensify military exercises for a "real war".

Zelensky: Russia's presidency of the Security Council reflects the "failure" of the United Nations

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denounced the "failure" of the United Nations , after Russia assumed the presidency of the UN Security Council for the month of April on Saturday.


"It is difficult to imagine anything that proves (more clearly) the complete failure of such institutions," Zelensky said in his evening address.


"There is no form of terrorism that Russia has not practiced," he added, calling for "reform of international institutions, including the UN Security Council."


And the Ukrainian president stressed that this "reform, which is obviously long overdue, includes preventing a terrorist state... from destroying the world."


Terrorists must lose, they must be held responsible for terrorism and they must not assume the presidency anywhere."


Earlier, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba considered that "Russia's presidency of the Security Council is a slap in the face of the international community."


On Twitter, he called on the "current members" of the council to "confront any Russian attempt to abuse this presidency."


However, these criticisms did not prevent Moscow from confirming that its Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will lead its delegation to the United Nations this month, succeeding Mozambique.


"The other main event of the Russian presidency is the (Security) Council's open high-level discussion on effective multilateralism by defending the principles of the UN Charter, and this meeting will be chaired by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov," Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters Thursday.


Zakharova noted that Lavrov also intends to chair a discussion session on the Middle East on April 25.


A critical response soon came from Kiev's diplomatic backers, particularly the United States.


"We expect Russia to continue to use its seat to spread disinformation and attempt to deflect attention from its attempts to justify its actions in Ukraine and war crimes committed by members of its armed forces," White House spokeswoman Karen Jean-Pierre said Thursday.


She added, "A country that brazenly violates the United Nations Charter and invades its neighbor has no place in the Security Council."


The three Baltic countries, which strongly support Ukraine, considered that Russia's assumption of the presidency of the Security Council was an "April lie."


"April Fool's Day is a perfect day" for Moscow, the Lithuanian Foreign Ministry said sarcastically, adding, "Russia, which is waging a brutal war on Ukraine, can only lead the council of insecurity."


The Estonian diplomatic mission to the United Nations said it was "shameful and humiliating" for the UN Security Council to lead Russia, which is headed by Vladimir Putin, "a war criminal for whom an arrest warrant has been issued by the International Criminal Court."


For its part, Russia says at the United Nations that it is facing the "collective West" that has prevented it from dealing with the countries of the world since the start of its military attack on Ukraine in February 2022.


The first meeting of the Security Council under the Russian presidency takes place on Monday morning, but it will include only the usual closed discussions on the work program for this month.


The meeting will be followed, as usual, by a press conference for the new head of this body, Russian Ambassador Vasily Nebenzia.


In this regard, a diplomat serving on the Security Council stressed the fact that "the presidency is cyclical, it is monthly, it is a short term presidency and it is not as important as the presidency of the G-20 or the G-7 or the European Union that lasts six months or a year and where you can push your own agenda."


He added, "In the event of abuse of the presidency, we will respond, of course. This is not the goal, what is important is the war in Ukraine and work to end it."


The Russian presidency of the Security Council comes a week after Putin announced his desire to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, his only European diplomatic ally, which reinforces the fears of the West.


Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron discussed with his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky, during a telephone conversation on Saturday, "the diplomatic efforts that must be made to organize a peace summit."


The two presidents discussed "the military situation in Ukraine," and Macron "renewed his support for Kiev to put an end to Russian aggression," according to the French presidency, in a statement.


For his part, Zelensky said via Telegram that he and his counterpart discussed the "next steps to implement" his ten-point peace plan, adding, "We coordinated the procedures for the upcoming international events."


"We discussed in detail for an hour, we talked about the situation on the front line, our political cooperation, and ways to move forward in implementing the Ukrainian peace project. I thank France for its continued support," Zelensky said during his daily address to the nation.


Paris said the two leaders also discussed "the troubling situation at the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant, which has been occupied by the Russian armed forces" since March 2022.


The call comes a few days after the visit of the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Rafael Grossi, to Ukraine.


The Elysee stated that Grossi "will meet President Macron soon," noting that the French and Ukrainian presidents stressed "the importance of supporting the work of the International Atomic Energy Agency at the site."

A comprehensive strike.. The crime of executing Al-Osaibi is the beginning of the way for the militias of Ben Gvir and attempts to uproot the people of the Negev

The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz focused, in its issue issued today, Sunday, on the cold-blooded execution of the martyr doctor, Muhammad Al-Osaibi (26 years), from the town of Hura in the Negev , in the occupied interior, at the Chain Gate leading to Al-Aqsa Mosque.


The comprehensive strike spread to different areas of the Negev and the occupied interior, this morning, in mourning for the martyr Al-Osaibi.


The newspaper saw in one of its reports that the problem currently lies in the absence of a video clip supporting the Israeli police account, which claimed that Al-Osaibi tried to seize the weapon of one of its members after he was stopped nearby, and that the security cameras in the area did not capture what happened because it happened at a dead point, while The Palestinian account from eyewitnesses and nearby video clips indicates that no less than 15 bullets were fired at him, and that what happened was while he was trying to defend a girl who was assaulted in the area.


The newspaper was surprised that the security cameras did not record what happened, pointing out that the Old City in occupied Jerusalem is the most photographed area in the world, in light of the spread of hundreds of cameras from the "View 2000" system, which records almost every meter in the town and Al- Aqsa Mosque .


She indicated that what happened is reminiscent of what happened with the martyr Iyad al-Hallaq , who suffers from autism, and whose cold-blooded execution was also not recorded. It also happened with the teacher , Yacoub Abu Al-Qia’an, in the Negev years ago, after he was killed in his village after a raid, and it turned out that the shooting at him was the result of a misdiagnosis.


It stated that a video clip was taken by a Palestinian of the killing of Al-Osaibi, showing the presence of at least two cameras in the area where the shooting took place.


The newspaper says: It is possible that the truth is in the middle of all these accounts, assuming that Al-Osaibi did not come to Al-Aqsa to carry out an attack, especially since his profile does not match the image of the “lone terrorist” - according to its description - and if he was going to carry out an attack, why with hands devoid of any weapon? Therefore, it is possible that the dispute that arose between him and the police deteriorated rapidly, during which he performed an act that was interpreted by them as a danger that necessitated the return of fire.


And the newspaper considered that what happened cut off nine successful days for the Israeli police in Jerusalem, who learned lessons from the events of the past two years and made efforts to intervene with the least possible amount of spears of worship in Al-Aqsa, according to the newspaper, which indicated that those forces refrained from preventing the reduction of the presence of Palestinians at the Damascus Gate. And she allowed access to pray at Al-Aqsa, according to her claim.


She pointed out that the Israeli police still insisted that Al-Osaibi tried to carry out an attack, and at the same time tried to calm the situation, especially since he was described among the Palestinians as a "martyr of Al-Aqsa", which represents the worst scenario for the police and the Shin Bet, which may accelerate any deterioration of the situation, but The fact that Al-Osaibi is not a resident of Jerusalem allowed the return of the Ramadan routine relatively quickly, but the question of how the general population of the Negev will accept the incident is still open, and the comprehensive strike in the Negev regions is ominous. as you say.


And she believed that the real test would come in the coming days, especially with the coincidence of the Israeli celebrations of the Jewish "Passover", and the attempts of settler organizations to practice the "slaughter of sacrifices", which are held near Al-Aqsa Mosque, amid calls for settlers to do so inside it and to provide financial rewards to those who can do so.


In another report, the Hebrew newspaper said that the killing of Al-Osaibi comes at a very sensitive time, not only because of the month of Ramadan, but also because of the policies of the current government in the Negev, and the minister who presides over that, with reference to Itamar Ben Gvir , who yesterday congratulated the police officers who They killed Al-Osaibi, which prompted the young man's family to form an independent commission of inquiry because they did not trust this government, which is trying to restore its rule through armed militias under the name of the "National Guard" and to issue legislation that grants its police absolute immunity from what is happening.


The report indicated that this comes in light of the increase in the volume of demolitions and the imposition of fines against the people of the Negev, and the escalation of murders among the Palestinians inside without a clear move from the new government.

Haaretz: Galant is hanging in the air despite the security challenges

The Hebrew newspaper Haaretz said, on Sunday, that the future of the Israeli Defense Minister, Yoav Gallant , who was dismissed from his position with a direct announcement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu , is still unclear, especially since he did not receive any official letter of his dismissal, which is necessary for it to take effect.


Gallant was dismissed by Netanyahu after he warned of the danger of continuing "judicial reforms" and their impact on the Israeli army.


According to the Hebrew newspaper, senior officials in the Israeli army and the security system have sent messages to the political echelon in recent days stating that the ambiguity about the fate of the minister creates an unhealthy situation.


The newspaper learned that Netanyahu postponed all the urgent and important talks he was supposed to have with Gallant last week.


As usual, the Israeli prime minister and his army minister hold urgent security discussions every week that include approval permits for operations to take place as usual, and this week that did not happen.


In an interview with "Haaretz", security sources strongly criticized Netanyahu's behavior towards Galant in light of the threats on the ground, which are increasing in the recent period, stressing that it is unbearable to keep the army minister suspended in the air for a week, and this makes it difficult for Israel to respond and attack.


This comes in light of pressure on Netanyahu even from the US administration to keep Galant, amid mediation efforts by some Israeli party leaders, and amid calls from within the Likud and his government coalition to keep his dismissal.

"Hala Zahi" is a success story in the manual manufacture of natural beauty products

With the time of youth comes new ideas and initiatives full of creativity and energy in all fields to make their path and professional success, and the young woman Hala invested her skills and aspirations to enrich herself in entrepreneurship, where she was able to develop her ideas and translate them on the ground to move from a culture of waiting for opportunities to a culture of production, creativity, leadership and innovation, To achieve a project with knowledge and work through which it embodies its success story under the title of challenge and persistence, to confirm that young people are an important and influential figure in any work they do because of their capabilities, competencies and skills through which they write inspiring success stories in various disciplines.

The young woman, Hala, recounts her experience in the world of small projects and entrepreneurship, which was like a dream for her to present products with international standards and attractive modern methods, to prove her worth, achieve excellence, and climb the ladder of professional development through her work in the field of manufacturing natural creams that are free of chemicals and start from scratch to reach the ladder of success.

The first step


Hala Zahi, 23, from the town of Aqraba, southeast of Nablus, talks about the coincidence that made her start her work to become a producer and trainer in the field of soap, creams, and detergents. She says about the beginning: The idea came to my mind in 2018 after the arrival of my little nephew. I make soap for him as distributions at his arrival party, and I read about the subject and researched it. I tried it and it worked for me from the first time, and this was the first sign for me to start in this field and innovate in it later and expand. The Corona pandemic was a great advantage as I took advantage of the stone period to get many courses and develop myself at work. And take advantage of every minute of it for work and creativity.

And she continues: I started with soap distributions, then the project began to grow slowly. After the success of the soap, I started reading, researching and expanding on the subject, and I found the great need to return to nature and natural products for skin and body care. Then I joined many courses in Jordan, Egypt, Syria and other countries and obtained a certificate to practice the profession. From Jordan, to exceed the number of courses I attended, ninety, for the manufacture of therapeutic and natural creams and all cosmetic products, and I started giving courses in this field, all of which are licensed by the Ministry of Labor.

Hard work and development


Beginnings are always simple, but they are a great incentive for those who have ambition to develop the idea and fly in the world of work, creativity, and launching into the world of leadership and self-empowerment through projects that start small and then grow with the passage of time. Made with love reflects the content inside it and makes it reach people faster and more

She says: I worked in all kinds of creams, hair oils, and serums, making and distributing them, and relying on wholesale sales more than individual orders. And perfumes. I sought for my products to have a distinctive scent in addition to the high quality. Body butter, scrub, and deodorant won the title of the three most popular, selling, and high-demand products, as well as hair oils and eyelash oil, all of which are certainly natural ingredients without chemicals, except for deodorant, which is 96 percent natural. Because it contains a preservative to last two years without damage.

And she continued: During the Corona period, I took multiple courses, and the quarantine period was my actual and strong start in this field, as I started working by manufacturing natural products for the skin and the body, and working from home. In society, to fulfill myself and be independent, and indeed it was the first experiment on a serum that treats pimples, and thank God, thanks to God, after effort, fatigue and patience, I released a serum for pimples and skin lightening, and it achieved overwhelming success and was the reason for my fame and people knowing me and the least I can describe the product as a serial killer, I sold a lot From it in bulk, people became acquainted with me, and I started collecting from the profits of selling it to make another product. Thus, I relied on myself and my project to develop it from its profits and advance it without resorting to the help of my family. I relied on myself and made myself successful from A to Z, and after that I began to issue one product after another every period according to A thoughtful plan that I set for myself, as the product usually needs thirty days of work on it and testing it before it is sold to the consumer, and its result is one hundred percent guaranteed.

Marketing and selling


Marketing is one of the main influences determining the project’s ability to survive and continue. It is the most important element in the life of the project, as it introduces people to the product and creates a real opportunity to increase revenues and the success of the project, which means its development and progress forward in the way of achieving success. About this final stage in the life of the project, Hala said: Every project has a marketing plan that must be followed for the success of the project. No matter how high-quality and content the products are without marketing them, people will not know them. This is often the main problem facing young projects that do not know how to promote themselves and wait for customers. Therefore, I did not adopt the policy of waiting for the customer to come to me. Rather, I was the one looking for customers and presenting to them the idea of buying my products, and I adopted the wholesale policy for the shops until I had a name and people began to know me to pass this stage and move to another stage where they are the ones who demand products, although this stage is the most difficult in the life of the project and required time, effort, work and planning However, after that it yielded a satisfactory and wonderful result for me, so each of us must strive and bring the customer to them without waiting. We are young people. We have energy and perseverance to work and strive continuously in order to achieve success. We must always persevere and knock on all doors, especially at the beginning until we reach our goal and then focus on productivity and development. In the project to reach beyond our dreams.

Excellence and diversity are the reason for success


Hala, who preferred to prove her worth and competence to work in her own project, despite the competitiveness in which the pioneering work is characterized and the spirit of challenge and determination is active in it every day, far from getting used to a specific service pattern or a routine job in which there is no creativity or renewal, because the nature of the pursuit of goals pushes us to work More creative and professional.

She speaks saying: In the presence of many youth projects, which may sometimes be similar to each other, whoever wants to succeed and reach the top must be distinguished from jealousy, and this distinction remains the secret of excellence and a tool for measuring the success of the project from its failure. What distinguishes my products in the first place is the effectiveness in addition to the scents, all of which are natural products that treat various problems that the skin, body and hair suffer from, for example, deodorant is different from the commercial products in the market, as it does not close the pores and works to lighten the skin, and its components include coconut oil and vitamins such as vitamin E and others Of the natural ingredients, and various and different skin creams, some of which are for lightening and others for moisturizing and to treat all skin problems such as pimples, pigmentation, etc., in addition to the hyaluronic acid serum, as hyaluronic acid absorbs a large percentage of the fluids that enter the body, so it works on deep moisturizing the layers of the skin and makes it more flexible and fresh. And it needs water to give lightening and hydration, in addition to multi-functional hair oils and uses, a set of shampoos and conditioners, and an oil-free bath without salts to activate hair growth, promote healthy growth, and make it strong, and other products that are discussed at length.


Mechanisms of action


The young woman in her twenties talks about her various products, working mechanisms, and trying new products and preparing them. She speaks with joy, saying: I make lotions and creams by hand, after I learned this craft, studied and delved into it, and made a decision that I would not buy skin care products from the market, so I learned, researched, studied, and loved manual work. Especially after I saw the obvious difference on my skin and hair after using the natural product and keeping away from chemical preparations. I originally studied a diploma in alternative medicine, and I took multiple courses in the field.

Ambition despite obstacles


Each of us has a desire to obtain a high position and a higher degree, and to achieve visible success in any work that he undertakes to possess the motivation and ability to achieve what he wants.

And about her ambition, Zahi speaks: I aspire to transform my project from a small workshop into a factory and call it Hala Beauty, the name for my products, and this is the step that I will take in the coming period, but I am only waiting for the right time, especially since I have delegates in all the West Bank and the occupied interior, and this is what made it easy. I have to work a lot and help me expand and spread and reach my products to a larger number of people despite the strenuous effort I made to reach this stage, but the result that I reached makes me forget the fatigue and be proud of myself and be happy.

And she addresses the difficulties in her speech, saying: Relying on yourself in making a special project is difficult, but if you look at your goal and work hard and love your work, you will reach it, and the difficulties we must overcome, whatever they are, and I am the type that does not get frustrated or despair penetrates into his heart, I was always looking for solutions And I overcome all obstacles, despite the lack of selling and relying on myself at the beginning, but I was working, selling, distributing, researching and developing day after day, especially since every bump has an important lesson that we learned. Materials that are forbidden to be entered by the occupation, the lack of packaging materials and the exploitation of some merchants with prices and other things, and I had to innovate in manufacturing and packaging using science and art, and my motto is always try and do not give up until you reach what you want.

With regard to the qualities that must be possessed to succeed in private projects, the most important of these qualities is that a person must be patient. To face the difficulties of manufacturing, and never get discouraged, and he should not look at the profit, but put before his eyes the success of his product, and he must test it on himself first and all those around him from the owners and relatives before putting it on the market.

England Championship: Arsenal continues its march towards the title, and Manchester City chases it four times against Liverpool

Arsenal continued to advance steadily towards winning the Premier League title for the first time since 2004, by defeating Leeds United 4-1 at home, while Manchester City, last season's champion, continued its pursuit, achieving a great and deserved victory over its guest Liverpool, with the same result, Saturday, in the ninth stage. twenty.
Arsenal raised its score to 72 points, 8 points ahead of Manchester City, who played one less game and hosts the London team on the current 26 in a match that may determine the identity of the title winner.
At the Emirates Stadium in north London, Arsenal honored Leeds, who faced the danger of falling to the first level (Championship League).
Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta decided to rest his winger, Bakayo Saka, who starred in his two international matches for England against Italy and Ukraine in the 2024 European Cup qualifiers, while French defender William Saliba, who was injured in his back, was absent.
Although Arsenal dominated the course of the first half, he waited until the 35th minute for his Brazilian striker Gabriel Jesus to open the scoring for him from a penalty kick after he was fouled inside the area.
The goal is Jesus' first since his return shortly before the injury that kept him out of the World Cup with Brazil, specifically since his last goal against Tottenham on the first of last October.
In the second half, the hosts finished off the guests, as defender Ben White added the second goal from close range, taking advantage of a cross from Brazilian Gabriel Martinelli (47), before Jesus added the third goal after a solo effort from Belgian striker Leandro Trossard (55).
Leeds responded by reducing the difference with a powerful shot from the outskirts of the area to Danish Rasmus Christensen (76), but Swiss international Granit Xhaka ended any hope for the guests to return in the match by scoring the fourth goal from a header after a pass from the Norwegian playmaker Martin Odegaard (84).
And at the Etihad Stadium, despite the absence of its Norwegian striker Erling Haaland, Manchester City inflicted a severe loss on Liverpool 4-1.
The Egyptian international, Mohamed Salah, gave Liverpool the lead (17), but the hosts responded strongly through Argentine Julian Alvares (27), Belgian Kevin De Bruyne (46), German Ilkay Gundogan (53) and Jack Grealish (74).
Since its historic 7-0 victory over Manchester United early last month, it lost its next three matches against Bournemouth 0-1 and City today, and against Real Madrid 0-2 in the second leg of the Champions League final.
City enjoys a relatively easier journey than its opponent on paper in the last few meters, but its focus is dispersed in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in an early summit against Bayern Munich and the semi-finals of the FA Cup against Sheffield United, while the Gunners bid farewell to the continental European League and from the Cup.
City achieved its first victory over Liverpool in the league nearly two years ago, after falling against it in the first leg this season in the league with Salah's goal, before taking revenge by excluding it from the League Cup.
"From the first minute until the ninety-third, it was a complete display (...) It was one of the best performances in the last seven years," said City coach Pep Guardiola, since joining the Emirati-owned team.
As for Jürgen Klopp's team, it suffered a second successive loss, to remain seven points away from the last Champions League qualifying position. "Nothing positive can be said about this match," said the German.
City's four goals came despite the absence of Haaland, who scored 42 goals in all competitions this season with his team, due to a thigh injury that kept him out of the international window with his country's national team.
City also missed another striker, Phil Foden, after he underwent surgery to remove his appendix last Sunday, while Uruguayan Darwin Nunes started on the bench for Liverpool due to a minor injury, to be replaced by Portuguese Diogo Jota, along with Salah and Dutchman Cody Khakpo.
City imposed absolute control over the course of the first half, and contrary to the course of the game, Trent Alexander-Arnold took advantage of a defensive loophole to deliver the ball to Jota, who entered the area with his back to the goal, paving it in front of Salah, who followed it with a missile with his left into the net (17).
The pressure of the landowners resulted in the equalizing goal, after the ball reached Grealish on the left side, and he followed it with a cross to Alvares, who slotted it into the net (27).
Within seconds of the start of the second half, City doubled its lead after Alvares delivered a wonderful ball towards the right to Mahrez, who passed it as a peeler to De Bruyne in front of the goal (46).
City confirmed its victory after the ball rebounded from Alexander-Arnold to prepare in front of Gundogan, and he followed it into the net (53).
Klopp made a quadruple change and pushed Benonis, Brazilian Firmino, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Greek defender Kostas Tsimikas in an attempt to return the score (70). But the response came with a fourth goal from Grealish, after a beautiful exchange of the ball with De Bruyne inside the area, before he deposited it in the net (74).
In an exciting match full of goals, Brighton turned 3 times behind at home to Brentford, to come out with a 3-3 draw.
Crystal Palace, in its first official match, led by its old-new coach, old Roy Hodgson, snatched a last-gasp victory at home to Leicester City 2-1, scored by Frenchman Jean-Philippe Matita.
Chelsea returned to its disappointing performances, and it fell to its ground in front of Aston Villa with a clean double.
Ollie Watkins opened the scoring when he singled out Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arisalapaga and hit the ball over him (18).
Scottish international John McGinn added the second goal with a powerful shot from 20 meters (56).
And the fate of Chelsea coach Graham Potter is in the wind. He took over the job last September, succeeding German Thomas Tuchel, after the former did well at the helm of Brighton's coaching staff in recent years.
Chelsea had made a series of contracts during the winter transfer period, most notably the contract with Argentine midfielder Enzo Fernandez and Ukrainian Mikhailo Modric, without any improvement in the team that reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, where it will face Real Madrid, the defending champions.

The return match between the two teams will be hosted by the Hebron Youth Club on the 11th of this April, to decide the identity of the qualifier for the next stage, where the winner of the Egyptian Vanguards match and the Libyan Al-Ahly of Tripoli will meet, provided that the winner qualifies for the third stage (the role of the group).

The Syrian foreign minister is in Cairo for the first time in ten years

Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry held talks on Saturday with his Syrian counterpart, Faisal Al-Miqdad , who arrived in Cairo this morning on a visit, the first by a Syrian official at this level in more than ten years.


Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid said that the two ministers' talks "dealt with various aspects of bilateral relations and ways to advance and enhance them, in addition to a number of regional and international files of common interest."


The Foreign Ministry spokesman affirmed that "in light of the fraternal ties and historical ties between the two countries, and what the common Arab interest requires in terms of solidarity and fraternal solidarity in facing the growing regional and international challenges, the discussions dealt with ways to help the Syrian people restore their unity and sovereignty over all of their lands." As well as "efforts to achieve a comprehensive political settlement of the Syrian crisis."


Minister Shoukry reaffirmed, according to the Egyptian Foreign Ministry spokesman, "Egypt's support for the efforts of the UN Special Envoy to Syria ."


The spokesman stated that the two ministers agreed to "intensify channels of communication between the two countries at various levels during the next stage."


On February 27, Shoukry paid a visit to Syria, the first in a decade, days after the earthquake that killed tens of thousands in Turkey and Syria.


This visit was followed by a call made by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to his Syrian counterpart, Bashar al-Assad, following the earthquake. It was the first between the two men since El-Sisi assumed power in Egypt in 2014.
Unlike several Arab countries, Egypt kept its embassy open in Damascus throughout the years of the conflict, but it reduced the level of diplomatic representation and the number of its mission.


The Director of the General Intelligence Department in Syria, Major General Ali al-Mamlouk, visited Cairo in 2016, in the first announced visit he had made abroad since the outbreak of the war in his country.


Following the outbreak of the conflict in Syria in 2011, several Arab countries, especially the Gulf countries, severed diplomatic relations with Syria and closed their embassies in Damascus. The League of Arab States also suspended Syria's membership.


Analysts believe that Assad may find, in the broad solidarity with him following the earthquake, an "opportunity" to accelerate the normalization of his relations with his regional milieu, especially in the wake of the announcement by Iran, which supports Damascus, last month of the agreement to resume relations with Saudi Arabia after a seven-year rupture.
