Answer:

Zero as a placeholder was invented independently in civilizations around the world, said Dr. Annette van der Hoek, Indiologist and research coordinator at the Zero Project. The Babylonians got their number system from the Sumerians, the first people in the world to develop a counting system. Developed 4,000 to 5,000 years ago, the Sumerian system was positional  the value of a symbol depended on its position relative to other symbols.  Robert Kaplan, author of "The Nothing That Is: A Natural History of Zero," suggests that an ancestor to the placeholder zero may have been a pair of angled wedges used to represent an empty number column. However, Charles Seife, author of "Zero: The Biography of a Dangerous Idea," disagrees that the wedges represented a placeholder.

Answer:

Two forces that affect the economic stability of cities are unemployment and inflation.

Unemployment is rate of people available for and looking for work, but without a job. In turn, inflation is the constant increase in the prices of goods and services during a certain period of time.

Both variables negatively affect the economic stability of cities, since, on the one hand, unemployment limits the productive capacity of the city and causes less money to circulate in the internal economy, limiting the population's consumption capacity and therefore hence the income of the city's companies.  In turn, inflation causes a rise in prices that limits the consumption possibilities of the population, as each individual needs more money to acquire the same goods.

Both problems have a direct correlation with the population increase in cities: unemployment because an excessive increase causes an excess of people looking for work in a market that does not adapt to this need; and inflation because the higher the demand for the products, the higher the price of them.

At which part of the eye are focused images mostly accurately conveyed to the brain
Lerok [7]
Images are focused by the lens onto the retina which is a face at the back of the eye upon which light sensitive cells (rods and cones) convert the incident light into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain.

The fovea is a pit directly behind the lens on the retina that contains a concentration of light sensitive, closely packed cones (colour sensitive cells) and is responsible for sharp central vision.
