Teherán stratégiája a “viszonosságon” alapul, ezért Irán nem intézett támadásokat a szomszédos öbölbeli országok ellen két napja, azóta, hogy az Egyesült Államok is beszüntette az Irán elleni légicsapásokat - közölte vasárnap az iráni hadsereg.
nemzetkozi-gazdasagCorporate America may be using AI to cut jobs, but small businesses are using it to keep them
Reports of wide-scale replacement of workers by AI are overblown. Small businesses use it to help workers I recently met the owner of a company that sells windows and doors. He told me he invested about $10,000 in an AI application that is used by his salespeople in his showroom. The application listens to the conversations between the salesperson and the prospective customer and then automatically creates a quote for the salesperson to review and send. “It allows my salespeople to talk to more customers and spend less time doing paperwork,” he said. “And it cuts down on errors.” Continue reading…

nemzetkozi-gazdasag‘Burnham bounce’ risks deflating unless focus remains on struggling households | Richard Partington
UK’s inequalities expose splits in consumer economy, with spending suffering and a decline in savings among the poorest A “Burnham bounce”, sunshine and a strong World Cup run for the England men’s football team. Could this be a turnaround moment for Britain’s struggling consumer economy or yet another false start for the UK’s spluttering growth engine? Last week the data company GfK credited Andy Burnham’s return to Westminster politics for lifting UK consumer confidence at its fastest monthly pace for almost three years in June. Continue reading…

nemzetkozi-gazdasagFrom the strait of Hormuz to the North Sea, a global maritime war rages around us – and more than the price of oil is at stake | Simon Tisdall
The collapse of the rules-based order is not confined to the land: we’re imperilled as centuries of maritime cooperation sink beneath the waves The US military campaign to protect merchant shipping from Iranian attacks by asserting direct maritime control in the strait of Hormuz is not an idea unique to Donald Trump’s administration. Almost exactly 200 years ago, in the period 1825-27, a powerful US naval squadron led by Commodore John Rodgers was sent to the Mediterranean to defend American ships from the depredations of Greek corsairs and pirates. For all the new-minted republic’s brave talk of liberty, the US squadron did not assist Greece’s ongoing “regime change” struggle for independence from the Ottoman empire. Its sole, self-serving purpose was to defend US trade, markets and business interests. After abandoning his call for a people’s revolution in Tehran, this, too, is what Trump’s reckless war with Iran has now boiled down to. Simon Tisdall is a Guardian foreign affairs commentator Continue reading…

nemzetkozi-gazdasagElectrolyte lemonade to probiotic pop: do the new generation of ‘functional drinks’ live up to the hype?
They make grand claims about beauty benefits or extra energy – and even actor Gillian Anderson has her own brand. We investigate what they’re really doing – and put them to a taste test Show yourself some love. Fuel your focus. Life’s too good for bad energy. Find your calm in the everyday chaos. Live fit. No, not new-age slogans or something you’d find scribbled in neon on the wall of a cocktail bar, but marketing taglines slapped across cans of functional soft drinks. Walk into any supermarket or newsagent and there they are, bright and cheerful, right next to the Tango, promising everything from improved mental clarity and zen-like calm, to a blast of highly caffeinated energy as part of your sandwich-and-a-snack lunchtime meal deal. Influencers love them. Your favourite podcasters are sponsored by them. Even Gillian Anderson has a functional drinks brand (brilliantly, she’s called it G Spot). If you have not yet swigged an electrolyte-loaded lemonade or opened a can of probiotic fizzy pop, you might be wondering what functional drinks even are. Because they are marketed as having one or more of many possible physiological and cognitive benefits, it’s a big category. There are functional drinks for focus, productivity, relaxation, calm, protein, energy, gut health and perhaps most confusingly, for hydration – which is, after all, the core function of most potable liquids.

nemzetkozi-gazdasag‘We count every litre’: how Cuba’s energy crisis sparked a daily struggle for water
Power cuts not only leave people in the dark but leave taps dry, forcing millions of Cubans to spend their days fetching water any way they can In the cramped kitchen of her flat in Havana’s Chinatown, Mirella Martínez pushes an old metal trolley stacked with empty jerrycans. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she fans herself gently. “It’s so hot!” she says, as the electric fans remain still due to another power outage that has left her flat sweltering in near darkness for hours. Mirella Martínez’s flat in Havana has been without running water for nearly three years Continue reading…
