  1. Ernesto Macías and María Fernanda Cabal agreed that the data from the internal survey should be known to public opinion. Photo: Colprensa After an internal poll determined that Óscar Iván Zuluaga will be the presidential bet of the Democratic Center for the 2022 elections, a harsh controversy broke out within the party. Senators from different sectors are asking that the results of the measurement be made public to make the process more transparent. Without Cabal and with Jennifer Arias: CD bench backed Zuluaga Zuluaga emerged victorious after facing Paloma Valencia, Rafael Nieto, Alirio Barrera and María Fernanda Cabal, who had surpassed Zuluaga in other polls that measured voting intention. The one who first requested to make public the data of the internal measurement, which was carried out by two polling firms, was Senator Ernesto Macías, who has supported Zuluaga's presidential aspiration. "I ask the Party leaders to officially make public the results of the polls, the signatures that carried them out and the audit they verified," Macías wrote on his Twitter account. His request was seconded by Senator María Fernanda Cabal. In response to Natalia Bedoya, a well-known Uribe activist, Cabal assured that key information should be made public: on the one hand, the sample used by the pollsters and, on the other, the data collected. Cabal also claimed that 3,000 polls were "scrapped." In addition, he ironically asked Bedoya: "Have you already published your millionaire contracts, Natalia?" However, when it became known that the winner of the internal bidding of the party had been Zuluaga, Cabal acknowledged his defeat. But she clarified that he would not seek positions in a government. “I prefer the Senate, where I have my own voice, to being an official in an eventual government. I flatly rule out any position in a possible government. I like to design a public policy, but from the law so that the official can materialize it, but not as an official, ”Cabal said. So far, the Directorate of the Democratic Center has not ruled on the issue. COLOMBIA Zuluaga got rid of Cabal and thus seeks space in the center-right coalition In that sense, Óscar Iván Zuluaga is expected to compete with other center-right presidential candidates, such as the members of the so-called Coalition of Experience: Enrique Peñalosa, Juan Carlos Echeverry, Federico Gutiérrez, Dilian Francisca Toro and Alejandro Char.

  2. Here we tell you why cats enjoy being in boxes, ripping the sofa or looking for long periods of time in the window. In an interview with Cromos Magazine, Alexander Hernández, a zootechnician with a master's degree in Animal Welfare from the Autonomous University of Barcelona, explains these curious facts so that we can better understand our kittens. He may interest you: Did you know that the bond that your dog has with you is similar to that of mother and child We invite you to read more content like this here Why do cats like boxes so much? AH: “Maybe you wondered why our felines love to be in boxes of an order when they arrive at our house. The reasons are simple, although there are several reasons why cats love boxes. However, the main reason is because they are closed and confined spaces. Cats are ambush predators and finding confined places where they can hide, hunt prey, feel safe and warm is instinctive behavior. Cardboard boxes are perfectly suited for this purpose. Cats get comfort and safety from closed spaces, which is why they love spending time in cardboard boxes. Cats use boxes as hiding places where predators cannot sneak up on the sides or from behind. If your cat is in a box, any "intruders" such as prey, humans or other pets, have to enter directly into their field of vision, which means that nothing can surprise them. Also, cats like boxes because they help reduce stress and provide a safe area where your cat can watch and not be seen. This is ideal for these pets, as their reaction to stressful situations is often to run and hide. So the recommendation is to put boxes to release some stress if you do not have enough distractors in your house or where they live " Why do cats enjoy ripping the sofa? AH: “Another of the most common behaviors in our feline pets is the tearing of the sofa, and this has a very simple reason. Cats need to sharpen their nails due to their natural behavior, but you have to be aware and give them a good scratching post, which is firm and does not move easily, because if it does not meet these characteristics, your pet will look at your sofa as a target. since it meets those conditions. Most cats having a scratching post that does not meet the characteristics will damage your furniture. That is why large firm scrapers are recommended and made of good material that allows this behavior, they love the rope or cardboard ones ”.

Follow these 6 simple tips Why do they enjoy looking out the window? AH: “When a cat stares out the window you may think that he is looking because he is bored or because there are other animals in sight that attract his attention. However, these are not always the causes of this attitude. Cats are very active and investigative animals. That is why they like to have everything under control and one of those things is what happens outside and what better than looking through the window. The cause may be other cats that are on the roofs if your window faces a patio or other animals that are in the garden if you live on a farm. The point is, your cat will look almost every day to see if they are there or not. Also read: How to bathe your cat and 10 tips to take care of its hygiene On the other hand, it can be due to behavioral causes or organic causes, that is, some disease that your cat may have caught. Among the causes of behavior can be found those in which there are changes in the cat's environment, for example, a change of address. When a cat goes to live in a strange house he may look out the window because he is not in his normal environment. Another cause compatible with this attitude is undoubtedly poor environmental enrichment. Cats must have the necessary resources to develop their investigative instinct on the floor. Otherwise, they can develop behavioral alterations and develop a problem of ethology.

  3. We dared to test this new TVS Apache on the circuit, in the sun, in the rain and with two professional riders, one high and the other low cylinder. We took advantage of a day of practice at the Tocancipá Autodrome and at the Juan Pablo Montoya Kartódromo, to do some tests with a team that we summoned for this task, two magnificent speed drivers, Jefferson Vanegas and Giovanny Arévalo, who, together with Daniel Acosta, Former professional rider, instructor and technical specialist in speed motorcycles, they carried out an in-depth assessment of our protagonist, the Apache RTR 200 FI, thus evaluating the racing DNA, which the brand proudly indicates and is present in this machine. The work team pointed out and agreed on a series of assessments that were carried out on the motorcycle for a couple of days in the two aforementioned scenarios. Curve pass. They indicate that it has an excellent cornering response, the Apache RTR 200 FI 4V ABS showed a great performance, giving the reliability in this regard and generating pleasant sensations to the pilots. Showa front telescopic suspension. This is a point that they highlighted, since the suspension presents the possibility of generating adjustment in preload, the extreme points were tested, the factory configuration, the softest and the most compressed, showing that this last adjustment helps greatly in the behavior of the motorcycle on the track. Stability. They reported that the RTR Apache 200FI is very stable and that it generates driving peace of mind when it is demanded at the top of its performance. Kartódromo Juan Pablo Montoya Easy to handle and docile in curves. They indicated that the TVS does not generate resistance and that, on the contrary, it has excellent maneuverability in order to enter curves at high speeds, it is an attribute that impacted them for a vehicle of this displacement. Good braking. They consider that the work of the front ABS brake is excellent, in these conditions of use, where the rear brake is rarely used, they indicated that the behavior is up to the demands, depending on the type of driving map used, it is perceived how intrusive the device is. On the contrary, from the rear, they did not complain about the performance but about the location of the pedal of this, since it is a little lower than the ideal point of use. Tocancipá Autodrome Change in acceleration behavior by RTFI technology. They highlighted the acceleration of the "200", since they indicate that the response is immediate and effective, points that a motor speed rider looks for on a track machine. Driving modes with real behavior. Some brands have presented on the market low-cylinder motorcycles with driving modes, which do not affect the actual behavior of the vehicle, this concern was overcome as the team affirms: in the different driving modes (Rain, Urban, Sport) that the RTR Apache 200FI has, protective electronic shorts are generated directly applied to the rpm rate generated by the mount's motor. Presence of technological elements typical of high-end specimens. The fact that the brand incorporates in this reference driving modes, SmartXConnect, basic telemetry, manual laptimer, generate a plus that high-level vehicles usually have, since sportingly, they take advantage of not only what the driving modes provide, but also the information that provides them with the application of the brand for the evaluation of their performance as pilots on the track. The tires. The tires used as standard, it is evident that they are not the most suitable for sports use on the track, but they cannot be disregarded, since they behaved at the height of the requirement that was submitted to them in the test. In general, the team of experts who evaluated the Apache passed the test submitted with high scores, no turning times were taken, because we were not evaluating the performance of the motorcycle with its competitors in the market, on the contrary, We analyze the performance of this and we can certify that, in its segment, it is a motorcycle that really has a racing DNA. Thanks: Autódromos S.A., Giovanny Segura, Operations Manager, for opening the possibility of working and testing this machine at the Tocancipá Autodrome and Juan Pablo Montoya Kartódromo, P2R Colombia, Rodrigo Sánchez, General Manager, for supporting us with the storage of the motorcycle to be able to work on it during the days that we carry out the evaluation at the Tocancipá Autodrome.

  4. It is being a staggered deployment. Instagram remains at the top of social networks thanks to the fact that it does not stop including tools and functions that are a success. Among the latter, we have the Reels, one-minute videos that imitate the TikTok application, and that although they have not managed to overcome it, they are still an incentive to stay on this social network. Another of his great triumphs were his stories, which last 24 hours. These have a multitude of tools and functions to let your creativity fly, the only downside in this regard is that the duration of each of these is only 15 seconds. Although you have no limit for these publications, it must be recognized that sometimes, it is somewhat annoying to be so limited. But now, after several tests carried out by Instagram, Instagram Stories arrive with a maximum duration of 60 seconds. Quite a relief, because they finished cutting every 15 seconds every time you want to talk or show something. Instagram Stories are now 60 seconds This has been the statement they have made about this update: “The ability to create longer Stories posts is highly requested by our community. We are excited to test 60-second Stories so people can create and view Stories with fewer interruptions. " As reported by the Instagram team, at the moment, the new function is being tested with a few users of the application, and its purpose is that we can be much more creative, now that we have more time to record. As explained by the head of Instagram, Adam Mosseri: “We are studying how we can - not only with IGTV, but all of Instagram - simplify and consolidate ideas, because last year we made a lot of new bets. I think this year we have to go back to focusing on simplicity and craftsmanship ”. The Instagram plan is influenced by the success of TikTok, so they seek to reduce some of its functions, so that the application is somewhat more simplified. The IGTV videos have disappeared, and now only the stories and the reels remain. The social network that belongs to Meta (formerly Facebook) is highly segmented, since the stories have their own space, the Reels their separate feed and then there are the publications of photos and videos of each wall. That is why they are looking for a way to reduce their elements without losing users. That now the stories have a duration of 60 seconds is a first step for the new merger, which will come gradually, until you get something similar to the TikTok feed, where you can see all kinds of content on the same open screen. At the moment, the new update is only available to some users, so we will have to wait for it to reach the rest, as it is a change launched gradually.

  5. Welcome!
  6. António Guterres (center) and President Iván Duque shared with social leaders and former combatants in Urabá. PHOTO: COURTESY OF THE PRESIDENCY. The commemoration of the five years of the signing took place in Antioquia's Urabá, a region that is home to eight of the 170 municipalities with Pdet (Development Programs with a Territorial Approach). Investments and resource commitments for 23,000 million pesos have been made in this area. In total, Peace projects in Antioquia have represented investments of 1.5 billion during the current administration. The Defense Minister, Diego Molano, pointed out that armed groups continue to exist outside the law after the disarmament of the Farc. He stressed that before there were 25,000 men in arms and that now that figure stands at approximately 12,000. "We want legal peace to be a reality in the Colombian territories," said the minister, and emphasized that within the Public Force there were victims of war crimes. From the Interior Ministry, Minister Daniel Palacios highlighted that there will be a budget of 400 million dollars for 2022, dedicated to Peace matters, and said that the number of men dedicated to the protection of former FARC combatants rose to 1,706. And is that one of the issues that has undermined the implementation of peace in Colombia is the security of former combatants: around 300 people who decided to surrender their weapons to start a new life were killed in the process. "Just as there is a need to protect, it is necessary to dismantle the groups responsible for the murders," said Palacios, adding that the clarification of homicides of social leaders is above 65%, while that of the homicides of exFarc is around 55 %. Palacios says that 27 of the 1,000 municipalities in Colombia concentrate 67% of the attacks to those who surrendered their weapons. The High Commissioner for Peace, Juan Camilo Restrepo, highlighted that 184 municipalities have been declared free of suspicion of antipersonnel mines. His office prepares this declaration for Montebello, Antioquia, and the department of Cundinamarca. The former president of Uruguay, Pepe Mujica, and the president of Chile, Sebastián Piñera, greeted Colombia in the commemoration of the five years of the signing. Within the framework of this date, it was also known that the United States Department of State plans to remove the extinct FARC guerrilla from the list of international terrorist groups. “It is clear that the Farc, in the case of the Peace Agreement, became a political party and, of course, they cannot be a terrorist organization. What is clear is that there are some FARC dissidents that continue to commit crimes as a terrorist group and we will continue to act on them to dismantle them, ”Molano commented.

  8. Few people know that pets also have a blood group; We show you what they are and how you can identify your dog or cat. Today pets have become an essential member of families. According to a study published this year by Kantar Ibope Media, 45% of those surveyed own one, among them, 73% have a dog and 52% have a cat. The vast majority of these people spend a large amount of money on health treatments for their faithful companion, even a good part of their budget is assigned to pay for school and toys for the canine or feline. Given these statistics, it is possible to show that today human beings take responsibility and meticulously care for their pet, as it provides them with company, security and happiness. Taking into account the care that owners provide today, it is important to know that in the same way that human beings have a classification system in which the blood group can be A, B, AB or O and they can only receive blood transfusions from compatible donors, canines and felines have proteins in the membrane of their red blood cells that determine their blood group.

They has proven that DEA 1.1 negative patients who receive blood from a DEA 1.1 positive donor may have severe immune reactions after transfusion. If your dog is DEA-1.1 antigen negative it means that he is a universal donor. Cat blood types On the other hand, in felines there is the AB system and within this three blood groups: A, B and AB, incredibly in this sense cats look a little more like human beings, not only because of the denomination of the blood group, but also because they can only receive blood from a donor who is exclusively from the same group, since fatal reactions can occur by transfusing less than 1 ml of incompatible blood.

  9. After learning about the launch of the R15 V4 and R15M, we thought that the news regarding the little sports car was going to stop for a long time, and now Yamaha comes up with a new surprise. The renewed motorcycle launched in India is called R15 V3S, yes, you are reading that right, a new version 3, but what is it about? Yamaha seeks to meet the needs of its customers and knows that the ‘mini SBK’ has a design that fascinates many motorcycle lovers, although it also understands that some do not get used to the radical position of the rider and passenger on the saddle. This new 'S' comes with a feature that connoisseurs of this specimen will notice at first glance and that is the seat; It is no longer a two-seater, where the passenger was much higher, now, it becomes a one-piece saddle, in the best style of the first YZF-R15 in history. First R15 in history. Of the R15 V4 in Colombia, the first news of the arrival is still unknown, but would you like this V3S? It would surely help in a very positive way in the comfort of those who ride it, although we cannot lie to ourselves either and the machine loses its aggressive and racing essence in this configuration. The motorcycle goes on the market in the same traditional Racing Blue shade in India, although this time the wheels are black. The change in general is minimal, but it does feel very different, in the same way it maintains its rear and front LED lighting and its dual channel ABS brakes.

The state company assured that paraffin production began on Saturday, November 13, after completing the start-up and stabilization process of the refinery's Paraffins and Phenol Unit, which was under scheduled maintenance. The paraffin plant will deliver between 50 and 60 tons per day to the national market starting tomorrow, November 18, 2021. In this way, Ecopetrol estimates to complete a monthly production of between 1,800 and 2,000 tons. The company also noted that the previous week 300 tons were delivered, which mitigated the impact of the lower quantities produced as a result of the extension of general maintenance, which was affected by the covid-19 pandemic and the procurement of materials in the international market. . Ecopetrol regretted the delay in paraffin production and stated that it hopes that national manufacturers will be able to make their deliveries in the short term.
