Monday, October 2, 2017 5 Arrangements in Saudi Arabia: Its place for Ashoora New Driving Force audi Arabia’s “Princess Nourah University is preparing to set up a driving school in cooperation with the relevant Sauthorities,” according to the university’s statement given on Saturday, 30 September 2017. This is a welcome announcement, and the first of its kind, for the ultra-conservative country after the ban on women driving was lifted. When King Salman issued a decree on Tuesday, saying that women in Saudi Arabia can now drive in the country – starting from June 2018 - the news immediately went viral. There was jubilation in the kingdom, among many women eagerly waiting to drive. And several international women’s rights organisations, welcomed the long-awaited change. So, this proclamation of Princess Nourah University, which has 60,000 female students in Riyadh and other cities, shows us that the winds of change sweeping across the region. We must congratulate the country and the government for this step forward. Whatever the reasons, it is interesting to see the reactions from many sections of the media towards these changes; some appreciating the move and some criticizing it. Sadly, some people are actually taking jibes at the nation, with unwholesome jokes. Let us not forget that the birthplace of Islam has some traditions that run for around 15 centuries. And everyone knows that all these are not easy to change. But, the changes are happening, and we must appreciate these changes.

If you thought the saying “the eyes are the window to the soul” is just a metaphor, think again. According to a report in American science magazine “Scientific American,” it could be true. INDICATOR Researches have shown that people’s eyes may be a powerful indication to what’s going on in their minds, particularly the changes in the size of the pupil. Changes in pupil size reflect how aroused we are, how relevant and interesting what we see is, and are related to information processing generally. PREVIOUS STUDIES Previous studies have shown that females’ pupils dilated on viewing semi-nude men and vice versa. Women’s pupils also responded to images of mothers holding babies. TRUTH OR LIE The eyes can tell whether we are lying or telling the truth, which means the American TV series “Lie to Me” is based on science. The series is about the hero solving crimes by interpreting body language and microexpressions. STRENGTH OF FEELINGS Researches have also suggested that pupil size reflects the strength of feelings, while not indicating if those feelings are positive or negative. 8 BUSINESS Monday, October 2, 2017 Monday, October 2, 2017 BUSINESS 9 Egypt absorbs $4 billion French investments S.
