The home and decoration company has a debt of 5,200 million dollars The home and decoration chain Bed, Bath & Beyond has declared bankruptcy this Sunday, as announced through its website. The company founded in 1971 in New Jersey and which was among the favorites for wedding lists and for those who became independent and set up a new house, has failed in its attempts to right the course after years of problems. Thank you to all our loyal customers. We have made the difficult decision to start dismantling our operations. Bed Bath & Beyond and Buy Buy Baby stores and websites are open and serving customers. The group has some 360 stores of the main chain and another 120 of Buy Buy Baby, which will gradually close. It has obtained financing of 240 million dollars from the firm Sixth Street Specialty Lending to continue operating. The company has indicated in a statement that the process will involve "carrying out an orderly liquidation of its businesses, while carrying out a limited placement process to request interest in one or more sales of some or all of its assets." It will be a dual process. On the one hand, closing stores and liquidating inventory and, on the other, looking for a buyer for the business. If he finds it, he would stop closing establishments. “The company believes that this two-way process will maximize value,” he says. Bed, Bath & Beyond calculates that at the end of November it had assets amounting to 4,401 million dollars (about 4,000 million euros) and a total debt of 5,200 million dollars, according to the documentation presented to the New Jersey courts. The number of creditors ranges from 25,001 to 50,000. The largest unsecured creditor is BNY Mellon with $1.185 billion, far behind the next, Personalization Mall, with $11 million. A total of 73 different companies have filed for bankruptcy. Bed Bath & Beyond's chief financial officer, Holly Etlin, will act as director of restructuring to manage the bankruptcy. It has been a sung crisis. Bed Bath & Beyond has been on the verge of bankruptcy for more than a year due to its financial problems, aggravated by the pandemic, trade, changes in consumer habits, high inflation and electronic economic uncertainty. The company did not know how to adapt and its proposal was less and less convincing to customers. Its fall is a symptom of a broader crisis affecting retail as a whole. The e-commerce coup and management woes swept Circuit City and Linens 'n Things years ago and put Sears and Toys R Us on the ropes. Early in the pandemic, firms like JC Penney, Neiman Marcus and J. Crew went bankrupt. The largest bridal gown chain, David's Bridal, filed for bankruptcy last week, though it continues to operate. Sue Gove, President and CEO, has made an epitaph-sounding statement: “Millions of customers have entrusted us with the most important moments of their lives, from going to university to getting married, moving to a new home or having a baby. . . Our teams have worked with incredible purpose to support and strengthen our beloved brands, Bed Bath & Beyond and Buy Buy Baby. We deeply appreciate our associates, customers, partners, and the communities we serve, and we remain steadfast in serving you throughout this process. We will continue to work diligently to maximize value for the benefit of all stakeholders," he said in the statement. Bed, Bath & Beyond launched a cutback plan last year that led to the closure of 150 stores and the dismissal of 20% of the workforce. It then warned of the uncertainty of continuing as a going concern and earlier this year acknowledged that it had stopped meeting its financial obligations. Its crisis was tragically marked last year by the suicide of its financial director. In recent months it had tried to avoid suspension of payments with an agreement with a fund and with the issuance of new shares that it has been placing on the Stock Market. None of those attempts have been successful. He had entered a vicious circle. The entities did not give him credit, some suppliers demanded advance payment and this has led to the company having less than the appropriate merchandise. The collapse in sales makes it impossible to generate cash and meet financial obligations, which generates more mistrust and starting over. The company began to default on its financial obligations on January 13. That month, he received a notification of debt acceleration and late-payment interest from JPMorgan Chase Bank, as the agent bank of his credit agreement resulting in non-payment. This requires that the principal amount of all loans outstanding under the lines of credit, together with interest earned thereon, other premiums and obligations, be due and payable immediately. The company received a rescue proposal from the high-risk fund Hudson Bay Capital Management that was supposed to provide financing for a maximum of 1,000 million, but the agreement did not become effective due to breaching some of the conditions. The company's latest flight forward has consisted of placing newly issued shares on the market. It was a high-risk bet for the subscribers, since if the capital was not sufficiently increased, bankruptcy was foreseeable and the titles would lose almost all their value. The price has plummeted 98% in the last year, down to 29 cents per share. Link: https://elpais.com/economia/2023-04-23/bed-bath-beyond-entra-en-bancarrota.html1 point

In a corner of England, we come across a forest that is not exactly inhabited by a very normal fauna. As its name tells us, The Gnome Reserve is home to a community of gnomes with hundreds of members. In total, we will find more than 1,000 figures of this mythological being spread out in a green space in the English town of Woolsery. Gnomes, goblins and wild flowers The Gnome Reserve is not only a "haven" for garden gnomes, but also a po[CENSORED]r tourist attraction in the South West of England. This space was created in 1979 by Ann Atkin, an art student, and over time, she amassed a huge collection of more than 1,000 gnome figures. Added to this mythological being are some goblins, who are also scattered among the vegetation, making the visit more fanciful. We find all these tiny characters going about their daily lives: playing chess, reading a good book, getting married and even taking part in the space race. The reserve extends over 1.6 hectares and includes areas of woodland, a stream, a pond, a meadow and a wildflower garden with nearly 250 different species of flora. There is also a museum with a collection of ancient garden gnomes. The most original photos In The Gnome Reserve young and old alike will have a great time. This place is not only perfect for walking and having fun with the gnomes that we will meet along the way, but it also gives us the opportunity to take some of the most original photos. Visitors are lent everything from gnome hats to fishing rods to make the snapshot even more striking. Also, there is a store to buy merchandising and remember this experience forever. https://www.20minutos.es/viajes/destinos/curioso-bosque-con-mas-1000-figuras-gnomos-inglaterra-5110099/1 point

Project presented by two senators seeks to make Ecuador eligible as a beneficiary of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Law. In the United States Senate, the Innovation and Development Act in Ecuador was presented on March 22, 2023 to make this country eligible for designation as a beneficiary of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Act. One of the benefits of this would be the reduction of US tariffs to almost 50% of Ecuadorian exports to the United States. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee reported that US Senators Bob Menendez and Jim Risch introduced this proposal. Menendez is Chairman of the Committee and Risch is a Senior Member. On December 15, Congress approved the Bipartisan Association Act between the United States and Ecuador with the objective of expanding cooperation on issues of mutual interest, including the strengthening of democratic institutions, the promotion of inclusive economic growth, support for initiatives environmental conservation and increasing capacities to address corruption, crime and negative foreign influence. Now, “with this new bill, the United States is deepening its partnership with a key democratic partner in the Americas and creating the conditions for inclusive economic growth in both countries. Building on the partnership between the United States and Ecuador, which became law in December, this new legislation will further expand the economic and commercial ties between our two countries,” Menéndez said. While Risch argued that "Ecuador faces a series of crises, including illegal immigration, pressure from China, and violence from Mexican drug cartels" and that the new legislation "would help Ecuador address these threats by promoting the creation of jobs in the private sector so that Ecuadorians have greater economic mobility at home”. In a statement, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee details that this new legislation would allow: Reduce US tariffs on almost 50% of Ecuadorian exports entering the United States. Promote market-based economic policies to reduce illegal immigration from Ecuador. Ecuadorians are the second largest group entering Panama illegally on their way to the United States, and illegal immigration from Ecuador has more than doubled so far in fiscal year 2023 compared to fiscal year 2022. “Providing support to a democratic partner under extreme pressure from China and other malign influences.” From the official CREO movement, this proposal is taken as a sign of confidence in the Government of Ecuador and in President Guillermo Lasso. The assemblyman and director of this political group, Guido Chiriboga, stressed that the inclusion of Ecuador in the Economic Recovery Law "reduces export tariffs, supports development projects and promotes entrepreneurship." The bill proposes modifying article 212 (b) of the Caribbean Basin Economic Recovery Law, inserting Ecuador after Dominica. It must be enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress. https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/economia/estados-unidos-podria-reducir-aranceles-a-casi-el-50-de-las-exportaciones-ecuatorianas-con-ley-presentada-en-el-senado-nota/1 point

Social fear in dogs is particularly associated with fear related to unfamiliar humans and dogs. Fear is one of the most common behavioral disorders in dogs. But when the fear is excessive and disturbs the life of the dog, it is called a behavioral problem. That feeling in excess can significantly affect the well-being of the dog and is also known to weaken the relationship between the dog and the owner. Social fear in dogs is particularly associated with fear related to unfamiliar humans and dogs. Risk factors that predispose dogs to social fear were investigated at the University of Helsinki with the help of a data set of almost 6,000 dogs. The data set was selected from a larger data set, a behavioral survey that covered almost 14,000 dogs. According to the survey, which was published in Nature, inappropriate socialization of puppies to various situations and stimuli had the strongest link to social fear. The living environment also seems to make a difference, as dogs living in urban settings were observed to be more fearful than dogs living in rural settings. “This hasn't actually been previously investigated in dogs. What we do know is that human mental health problems occur more frequently in the city than in rural areas. However, more studies are needed before more can be said about causes related to the living environment," says Jenni Puurunen, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki's Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. Supporting evidence from previous research, social fear was shown to be more common among neutered females and small dogs. Along with size and gender, activity is another factor associated with fear. The fearful dogs were less active than the bolder ones, and their owners also engaged them in training and other activities much less frequently. Professor Hannes Lohi of the University of Helsinki speculates whether this is a cause or a consequence. “Activity and stimuli have already been found to have a positive effect on behavior, both in dogs and humans. Of course, the lesser activity of fearful dogs may also be because their owners want to avoid exposing their dogs to stressful situations. It may be that people just aren't as active with fearful dogs,” Lohi says. In addition, the study identified significant differences between races. Spanish Water Dogs and Shetland Sheepdogs expressed the most social fear, while Wheaten Terriers were among the bravest breeds. The Cairn Terrier and Pembroke Welsh Corgi expressed very little fear of other dogs. The scariest dog breeds Labrador retriever, Spanish Water Dog, Bernese Mountain Dog, Lagotto Romagnolo. Wheaten Terrier, Long-haired Collie, Staffordshire bull terrier, Shetland Sheepdog. German Shepherd, Miniature Schnauzer. "Differences between races support the idea that genes have an effect on fear, as well as many other mental health problems," Lohi summarizes. "Overall, this study gives us tools to improve our best friend's well-being: Diverse puppyhood socialization, an active lifestyle, and carefully selected parenting choices can significantly decrease social fear," she adds. https://www.eluniverso.com/larevista/sociedad/las-razas-de-perros-mas-miedosos-que-puedes-encontrar-segun-un-estudio-nota/1 point

The Aprilia RS 660, the best-selling sports bike in Europe, has achieved great success. Starting in April, the RS 660 Extrema will hit the market, which continues the legacy of the Aprilia 125 Extrema, manufactured between 1992 and 1994. The RS 660 Extrema surprises with its curb weight of 166 kg. Thus setting a new milestone in terms of weight/power, it delivers 100 CV, a record figure in its category. This great improvement is realized thanks to its special standard equipment that includes, a new, lighter SC Project exhaust system, with a carbon fiber muffler positioned on the right side (not under the engine), totally legal for the street. In addition, this upgrade includes the silencer support, made of black anodized aluminum. This allows the passenger footrests to be removed, with the consequent reduction in weight. Also contributing to the overall lightening of the RS 660 Extrema are the front fender and the new keel, made of high-quality carbon fiber. Aprilia RS 660 Extreme Its extreme sporty nature is accentuated thanks to the elegant design of the rear axle, with the possibility of replacing the passenger seat with a single-seater tail. Something that bikers who decide to enjoy their RS 660 Extrema in company should not worry about, since it maintains its two-seater homologation. If the RS 660 already had rich electronic equipment (including traction control, cornering ABS, engine brake and anti-wheelie, all adjustable). The RS 660 Extrema integrates software that allows you to configure the quickshifter with the gear reversed. Therefore, it means that the gearbox can be configured completely autonomously, without replacing any component of the motorcycle, in a street or competition version, perfect for riding on the track. Its new decoration means that it does not go unnoticed, with an unmistakable sports inspiration. The RS 660 Extrema is capable of providing emotions in sporty driving in the hands of expert pilots, but at the same time accessible and fun even in daily use in the hands of new motorcyclists. It will be available for 13,849 euros plus registration fees. https://www.moto1pro.com/actualidad/llega-la-aprilia-rs-660-extrema-con-100-cv-y-166-kg1 point

Prioritize the consumption of good carbohydrates, instead of eliminating them completely from your diet. Carbohydrates have a bad name in diets. Foods that fall into this category, such as rice, pasta, and flour, have a reputation for causing weight gain, cardiovascular disease, or poor diet when consumed in excess. However, not all carbohydrates are bad, and they should not be completely eliminated from your diet. Instead, you should prioritize healthier carbs over 'refined' ones for a balanced and healthy diet, advises Susan Bowerman, director of nutrition for Herbalife Nutrition, who gives recommendations when choosing different foods. Good carbohydrates have some of the essential nutrients for the proper functioning of the body, and are usually found in whole grains, beans, fruits, and vegetables, which are excellent sources of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. According to Medline Plus, along with protein and fat, carbohydrates are one of the top three nutrients found in foods and beverages. They provide glucose, which is the source of energy for the cells, tissues and organs of the body. The best carbohydrates are whole, or unrefined. For example, some whole grain breads are labeled "multigrain," but you need to check the ingredient list to see if they are whole or refined. The consumption of pasta or rice can be harmful if it is eaten constantly and is of the refined carbohydrate type. Therefore, the best option is not to discard these foods, but to opt for whole-grain options that provide nutrients such as iron, folic acid, and B vitamins. Depending on their preparation, fruit juices can also contain a high amount of calories. Health experts recommend consuming the whole fruit instead of the juice, to which sugar or other components are added that reduce its nutritional value. https://www.eluniverso.com/larevista/salud/todos-los-carbohidratos-son-malos-conoce-las-diferencias-entre-los-refinados-y-los-que-no-nota/1 point

The vital liquid could be found in smaller quantities than on Earth. There is a presence of water on the Moon, according to Chinese scientists who announced that they had found the vital liquid in impact glass beads located in a lunar crater. However, this is not the first time water has been found on the Moon. It should be noted that the search for water on the Moon is essential for the future. The study, published in the specialized journal Nature Geoscience, points out that these crystals are probably a new reservoir of water on the Moon, recording the access and exit of water derived from solar winds and acting as buffers for the lunar surface water cycle. . There are already several missions to the Moon that have confirmed the presence of water on the Moon, but the vital liquid could be found in smaller quantities than on Earth. It is usually found as ice in the shaded areas or as a thin layer of gas on the surface. However, the masses of water that have been found so far do not agree with a water cycle that allows it to be maintained on the satellite, in the same way as on Earth. Scientists believe that there must be water reserves yet to be identified that have the capacity to buffer the lunar surface water cycle, that is, capable of retaining water on the satellite and not escaping into space. "These findings indicate that impact crystals on the surface of the Moon and other airless bodies in the Solar System are capable of storing water derived from solar winds and releasing it into space," said Professor Hu, leader of the research. According to the study, crystals could make up between three and five percent of the lunar soil. Furthermore, there could be about a third of a trillion tons of water inside all the glass beads on the Moon. https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/internacional/cientificos-chinos-anuncian-haber-hallado-cristales-de-agua-en-la-luna-nota/1 point
