0 LISTEN Lion and tiger at the same time? Half zebra, half horse? A dog that looks like a wolf? No, it is not the description of the mythological beings that are often seen in fictional films; on the contrary, it constitutes only a sample of the innumerable, surprising and strange phenomena that nature hides. According to Erica Larsen, an evolutionary biologist at the University of Denver, in dialogue with National Geographic, a hybrid animal "is the result of interbreeding between divergent lineages." That is, those from the crossing of two organisms by sexual reproduction of different races, species or subspecies. Although the hybridizations are, initially, the product of the crossing of two different species in natural environments; genetic combination can also occur by human intervention, for example, through mechanisms such as artificial insemination or captivity. The foregoing, without leaving aside the fact that, in the current context, climate change can be a determining factor for species to change their breeding season until it coincides with other species, or move to different places where they did not exist before, giving step to countless possibilities of sharing genetic information. Contrary to what many might think, their name is not the only thing that makes them unique compared to other types of animals. Their rarity and uniqueness are equivalent to their innate characteristics: they can not only be stronger than other species, but also more productive. Miracles of nature for some and scientific anomalies for others, it is estimated that 10 percent of all animals in the world are hybrids; however, how many do you really know? ligers Just when it was believed that nature could no longer surprise with its peculiarities, the liger emerged, a hybrid animal product of the cross between a panthera leo lion and a panthera tigris tigress. Considered the largest feline in the world, it can measure up to four meters long -including the tail-, and weigh more than 400 kilos, that is, almost twice the weight of its parents, according to the Spanish media La Vanguardia . In the case of females, they can reach 320 kilos or less and 2.50 meters in length. The answer to the question of why it has such a large size lies in the genes. While growth inhibitory genes are transmitted maternally in lions and paternally in tigers, the liger receives none. His physical appearance is not far behind: he has the mane and size of his father, but he inherited the tiger stripes -albeit diffuse- from his mother. Even with its tail and legs much shorter than those of its parents, the liger is possessed of unparalleled beauty and majesty; however, not everything is rosy. It would be a subspecies created by man, since it is extremely unlikely that the pairing of both classes of animals occurs "in nature because the distribution areas of lions and tigers almost never overlap," Larsen explains to National Geographic. Of all the ligers that exist throughout the world, it is estimated that the majority are found in the United States -with 30 in zoos- and China -with just over 20 animals of this species-, according to the digital newspaper Spanish OkDiario. Germany has nine ligers, but they are also present in Russia, South Korea, the United Kingdom, France and Italy. Cebrallo If you've ever wondered what a cross between a zebra and a mare would look like, all you have to do is look at the zorse: a hybrid animal that, despite its genetic heritage, seems to have inherited almost all the genes of the equine family. From a distance, anyone would think that it is a horse, if it were not for the stripes that often cover its face and much of its body. Zebrals typically inherit the color of the mares - their mothers - but also acquire the predominant stripes of their parents - the zebras - in colors such as bay or brown. THE MAN WHO RESCUED MORE THAN 200 STREET DOGS AND LIVES WITH 16 OF THEM: "I HAVE NO WHERE TO LOCATE THEM" The zorse is ultimately a worthy descendant of a zebra stallion and a mare that bears the most defining characteristics of its parent. Like most other hybrids, it is infertile; which is why, he cannot conceive on his own. Although this genetic combination may seem a bit strange to some, the cross between equines is much more common than is believed. According to the American journal mentioned above, “equids can be especially prone to hybridization. Donkeys and horses can breed to create mules, while zebras and horses make zorses or other combinations." https://www.lanacion.com.ar/lifestyle/animales-hibridos-la-fascinante-cruza-de-especies-que-dio-como-resultado-a-ligres-cebrallos-y-perros-nid14102022/

During September, Jeep made a major electrification announcement, with four models propelling the off-road specialist brand into the electrified era. One of these models is the Avenger, a 100% new small SUV that will be manufactured in Poland (Tychy) for the European market. The announcement was not very extensive and hopefully we were able to see some images of the model. Of course, Jeep was saving it for the Paris Motor Show, where the Avenger has been fully revealed, including images of the interior and more technical specifications of its engines, including the news that it will also use a thermal engine in some markets, such as for try to help him in his overcrowding. “The Jeep Avenger represents a fundamental milestone for the brand, as it is the first of a new range of electric Jeep models to be marketed in Europe”, says Christian Meunier, CEO of Jeep, who goes on to say: “It offers all the benefits of the Jeep brand adapted to the European market and, at the Paris Motor Show, we are showing why this electric Jeep is an excellent alternative to B-segment SUVs from Jeep has not mentioned all the measurements of the Avenger, except the length, 4.08 meters. Relative to the Renegade, it is 16 centimeters shorter and 13 centimeters lower, with trimmed overhangs that not only improve its proportions, but also help it achieve approach angles of 20 degrees front, 20 degrees belly and 32 degrees in the rear, which is important for going off-road, but also convenient in the city (ditches, access ramps, parking lots, etc.). To this is added its clearance of 200 mm. It is worth remembering that the Avenger launches the STLA Small platform, derived from the eCMP from PSA, the same used by the Peugeot e-2008, the Opel Mokka-e and the DS 3 E-Tense. Jeep Avenger Design On the design side, the idea is to combine the most traditional elements of Jeep, but in a compact and urban format. This is very noticeable in the grille of the "seven slots" that now go to a shorter format, as we have seen in the newest models of the brand. In this "module" of black color, the main lights with a smoked appearance also appear. Other details that are part of the Jeep style, we find them in its black floating roof, the more marked wheel arches and the rear lights with the X graphic, which we saw debut in the Renegade and that are a nod to the drums of fuel that the Willys used to carry. Plastic protections also abound throughout the lower area of the vehicle. As a modern touch, the rear door handles have been moved into the rear window frame, seeking to hide them. A detail that is typical of Stellantis models are the rear-view mirrors, the same as those that debuted with the Peugeot 208 and that today are used in practically all CMP platform cars: a good way to identify their genes. The wheels are 18" with a two-tone look, at least for the launch version. 2023 Jeep Avenger - interior and equipment https://noticias.autocosmos.com.ar/2022/10/17/jeep-estrena-al-avenger-y-confirma-versiones-a-combustion

Studies are multiplying around the world and the alert does not stop sounding: excess weight and obesity –with their multiple impacts on the human body– are already considered a serious health and even social and economic problem at a global level. While all kinds of measures are being debated – legal, educational, fiscal, among others – the disease continues to advance until it reaches epidemic levels, and health professionals struggle daily to provide help to their patients. "This type of disease requires a transdisciplinary treatment, specialized doctors and a health system that takes into account the needs of patients," says Juliana Mociulsky, endocrinologist, Head of Nutrition at the Buenos Aires Cardiovascular Institute (ICBA) and member head of the Argentine Society of Diabetes. How is obesity defined? -Through the body mass index (BMI) that serves to categorize health risks. The value to define it is kg/m2. The higher that number, the greater the chances of having cancer, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, to which must be added the limitations in daily functionality, depression and confinement. What factors determine obesity? -The causes are multiple: the genetic component, the family way of eating, work, the obesogenic environment favored by the food industry and a sedentary lifestyle. On the other hand, there is a circuit in the body that regulates food intake, a circuit that obese people have unbalanced and one of the consequences of which is not receiving the satiety signal properly. When someone loses weight, hormones that increase appetite rise, because the body always regulates up and that is the reason why it is so difficult for them to maintain the appropriate weight. care that meets the needs of patients -What are the most important diseases to which obesity is associated? -The most important are hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol, all diseases that involve cardiovascular risk. There are different kinds of obesity: the one found in the belly generates these risks because the fat operates as a kind of laboratory for toxic substances; the one located in the hip is associated with problems such as osteoarthritis or varicose veins. Each type of obesity –phenotype– causes different diseases, so when a patient arrives at the office, we already know where to start. Other associated diseases are cancer of the colon, breast, uterus and, to a lesser extent, pancreas. -Are there less serious diseases derived from excess weight? -Yes, of course. There are referrals that cause alterations in people's lives, such as sleep apnea that prevents the patient from sleeping well (because he is startled, although he does not realize it, due to lack of air) and increases the chances of cardiovascular disease . Other common consequences are, among others, gallstones, skin problems and difficulty in hygiene. -What impact does obesity have on a psychological level? -The common characteristic is depression and denial. The obese person goes through different stages. One of them is the denial of the problem that translates into inaction; At this stage it is usual that they do not take photos from the neck down or do not look at themselves in the mirror. Then a stage of rebellion can come, a kind of anger with reality that also causes inertia. Then the internal negotiation stage begins, at which time the person begins to consider doing something and tries to limit himself in everyday life. Accepting is the first step to make any changes. -How does someone who is not yet aware of his problem get to the office? -Because they bring him, or refer him to his cardiologist or clinician, because he is tired of the comments or because he wants to change and he doesn't realize it. The attitude is essential to be able to generate changes and we also define it with stages: precontemplation, when the patient is not willing to do anything; contemplation, when he begins to contemplate the idea; acceptance and action. This process is what would lead a person to lose weight. Maintenance is difficult and there will surely be relapses, but these serve as learning and as a starting point to resume changing habits. Accepting is the first step to make any changes -In general, do they manage to maintain what has been achieved? -No more than 10% make it. But another factor must be taken into account, which is accepting the possible weight that will allow the person to maintain it over time. This is related to expectations, and it is necessary not to neglect this aspect to avoid frustration. -There are many medications for weight loss. Are they effective in the fight against obesity? -Until now, the ideal medicine to treat obesity has not been developed. There were some that were to a certain extent effective because they acted on brain circuits, but they were taken off the market because they generated cardiovascular risk in elderly people. There are some drugs, not approved in Argentina, that act on the satiety and reward circuit, but they must be rigorously evaluated due to possible side effects. Where there have been important advances is in the treatment of type 2 diabetes with obesity, since there are drugs that are used in our country and that have proven results in weight loss and also in cardiovascular benefits. These are liraglutide, which has an effect on the control of satiety, among other things, and empagliflozin, which acts on the renal elimination of glucose and sodium. Another key issue is related to mood: a depressed patient is not going to lose weight, does not go to the doctor, does not take care of himself, etc. There is an obesity-depression relationship: it is a vicious circle that constantly feeds on itself and that also deserves a diagnostic and therapeutic approach. -There is much insistence on the need to avoid a sedentary lifestyle and it is common to hear professionals say that less than forty minutes of physical activity does not serve to burn fat. Do you agree? -No. Very few people have that time and the important thing is to set possible short-term goals. This statement, far from encouraging daily movement, makes people do nothing because it is a very ambitious, improbable and discouraging goal. The World Health Organization speaks of performing 30 minutes of cumulative physical activity daily. You have to work for what is possible, because short goals stimulate self-esteem and are motivating. https://www.infobae.com/def/desarrollo/2018/04/17/como-combatir-la-obesidad-una-enfermedad-que-ya-es-epidemia/

ÓRDOBA.– In the absence of a consistent and long-term industrial policy, promotions, incentives and special regimes have been implemented in Argentina for years at the different levels of the State, without coordination. Does that work? The economists consulted by LA NACION emphasize that without an organized macro there is no development strategy. And they agree that the instruments must be decided jointly, evaluating whether they are justified and that, afterwards, their effects must be measured. In the 2023 Budget project, the Executive Branch included a table with all the promotion regimes to be reviewed, with tax exemptions and differentiated tax schemes included. There are two regimes that are commonly referred to: that of Tierra del Fuego and that of the textile industry. The first arose to try to po[CENSORED]te the territory and was extended. The last extension was approved last October and took the validity to 2038. ads by The 2023 Budget initiative indicates that the Nation would stop collecting $519,720 million, equivalent to 0.35% of GDP ($236,300 million for the release of VAT purchase and sale, $88,571 million for the exemption of Profits, $91,873 million for the rights of importation, and $102,941 million for the reduced rate of internal taxes on electronic products). The textile regime, which includes the footwear sector, was created at the beginning of 2021 and covers La Rioja and Catamarca; coexists with the Promotion of Employment Generation in the Norte Grande, which provides for the reduction of employer contributions for new employees until December 2023. The Pro Tejer Foundation now asks to extend it until 2026, in addition to the periodic update of non-refundable contributions ( NRA). Marcelo Capello, an economist at the Ieral, describes that Argentina recurrently finds bottlenecks in the international reserves of the Central Bank for two main reasons: the anti-export bias generated by public policies, and the outflow of capital due to mistrust and uncertainty that prevail in Argentina. The anti-export bias, he says, is caused by several factors, such as tax pressure, infrastructure problems, excessive regulations, measures that restrict or hinder operations, and the increase in import prices. In this context, there are plans to promote regions, sectors or activities that "also help to aggravate this bias." For Capello, the Fuegian system is along these lines, which encourages the manufacture of certain electronic items "artificially and excessively making imported products or products manufactured in other provinces more expensive." Among this year's novelties, at the end of the first quarter, Newsan announced that it began producing Noblex cell phones with the goal of reaching 200,000 units per year at its Ushuaia factory. In mid-August, Etercor-Solnik (Xiaomi's official distributor in Argentina) began producing the Redmi Note 11 model in that city; it invested $600 million in a first stage and then plans to add $1.5 billion. The Fuegian regime – born in the 1970s for geopolitical reasons – costs each year, in terms of fiscal resources, the equivalent of the Nation's spending on housing and urban planning throughout the country. "Indeed, that industry was developed that substitutes imports, but practically does not export," says Capello. Manufacturing exports per capita in recent years are equivalent to 40% of what they were 12 years ago: “The Fuegian does not export because it is a regime that was designed only to substitute imports; its products are expensive for the international market, because its production costs are among the highest in the country”, says the economist. He adds that local consumers and businesses pay more for electronics. "It negatively affects the average productivity of the po[CENSORED]tion and the Argentine economy, because notebooks, cell phones and other important products are paid more expensive (or are of lower quality)," he summarizes. Eliminating the regime would cause a shock, so the path is a "gradual reduction, which implies compensating with investments and other policies," concludes Capello. The economist Bernardo Kosacoff recalls that, as the years passed, the promotion was used for a different purpose than the original. In industrial matters, the results are heterogeneous. There are companies that have “advanced”, but, he says, the incentives are to “assemble”, with “high transportation and all kinds of costs”. Gastón Utrera, president of the Economic Trends consultancy, agrees with this analysis, which places the Fuegian regime at the "most controversial and least sustained" extreme, because, he says, "it makes no sense to assemble appliances" that must travel thousands of kilometers to reach to consumption centers. According to him, this policy should be directed to sectors based on natural resources and with potential. Need for coordination Without macro consistency there is no development strategy, emphasizes Kosacoff, who says that the Argentine case is "dramatic" and insists that, before establishing specific promotions, each instrument must be evaluated and looked at jointly: "Every instrument does not have to act state level on their own; You have to measure efficiency and do public-private institutional work to determine if it is justified”. In the country there are overlapping policies, different agencies that have similar plans. “Making public policy is evaluating, innovating, promoting value addition and not just transferring resources”, he summarizes. From the Argentine Industrial Union (UIA), the economist Diego Coatz states that "always" a "general, sectoral and federal" productive policy is required. He adds: "There is no capacity to develop without this policy, especially in the new world configuration." He adds that the different state levels must “articulate” actions; that the decisions must be “of the State and not of the government” and have a comprehensive scope. “The first thing to attend to is the macro, to gain competitiveness, with trade rules, foreign policy and a certain tax standardization and simplification,” he says. “It is necessary to concentrate on transversal policies that order, rather than thinking about specific issues of incentives that generate, perhaps, more distortions. You have to distinguish; not everything is the same”, says Utrera. As a counterpart to the Fuegian regime, he mentions the Knowledge Economy Law, which was derived from the Software Law. For Utrera, the question must be whether we have potential without promotion. And he replies: “Yes, but we can accelerate development and we have to measure the results”, he says. Coatz shares the idea; he emphasizes that laws often require an update, but warns that promotions should have an end date. “In countries like ours, they end up being regimes that are cut off from macro tax policy,” he warns. What and how to do in Argentina until the macro is resolved? For Capello, in a country with difficulties in generating foreign currency by exporting, the priority should be to ensure competitiveness for these sectors and “genuinely” substitute imports. The Fuegian regime, he says, must be "gradually dismantled, more quickly for the products that most harm competitiveness." And policies should be implemented to help generate or consolidate activities for which there are competitive advantages. There is a consensus among the sources that the private sector is calling for lower taxes for lack of better ideas. The automotive regime that the country has with Brazil within the framework of Mercosur emerged to move from managed trade to free trade. "It was born before the block, as a complementary design - Kosacoff describes -. It became more global and has lights and shadows.” Coatz adds that there are no "productive policy development manuals", but that without these policies "there is no country that can get ahead". The budget project presented by Sergio Massa includes all the promotion regimes to be reviewed, tax exemptions and differentiated tax schemes. Due to the debate around the fact that the prices of textile and footwear products, which are protected, rose 118% in the last year, as of September and according to Indec, in ProTejer they argue that the increase in the dollar and the costs they are the key. Its president, Luciano Galfione, adds that the price of clothing measured by the CPI has "little to do" with national production. “It is essentially imported clothing, because it is heavily based on clothing from shopping malls and, precisely, everything imported is what has increased the most due to restrictions on access to foreign currency,” he points out. Imports must be financed 180 days after nationalization, which implies a direct cost of 35% in dollars, which goes to the final price. He stresses that, given the shortage of foreign currency, the supply of basic raw materials that are not manufactured in the country should be prioritized. He says: “This would save foreign currency and, furthermore, anchor prices of semi-finished products to the official dollar. And it would boost national production and Argentine work much more.” https://www.lanacion.com.ar/economia/politica-industrial-el-debate-sobre-los-efectos-de-los-regimenes-de-promocion-nid16102022/

The "Qatar dollar", as the scheme that punishes with an extra surcharge of 25% for consumption in dollars that exceeds USD 300 per month, may have serious difficulties in being implemented. At least in the first days of operation. While the AFIP speeds up the march to try to coordinate a centralized information system that allows charging the special exchange rate to those who correspond, in the banks they warn that for now they can only apply it in a limited way. Until Wednesday, the tourist dollar had a surcharge of 75%, 30% corresponding to the PAIS tax and 45% as an advance payment of Earnings. For the banks it did not represent any operational difficulty, since the charge corresponded to expenses for all concepts, without a taxable limit. At current prices, one dollar is 275 pesos. Since Thursday, meanwhile, it was established that consumption in foreign currency with a credit and debit card on tickets and tourist packages that exceed USD 300 per month will pay an extra 25% advance payment of the Personal Property Tax. . The “Qatar dollar” was born, which, at current prices, reaches 314.50 pesos. “This could cause people to try to carry out fractional consumption between different cards issued by different entities” (Domínguez) Resolution 5272 establishes that the limit of USD 300 per month is per subject, not per card or per account. This implies that all consumption in foreign currency made with different debit, credit and fintech cards in a given period should be added up. But none of these financial service providers have data regarding what a customer does with the cards of another entity. "This could cause people to try to make fractional consumption between different cards issued by different entities so that they do not apply the 25% perception," said Sebastián Domínguez, from SDC Tax Advisors. "In addition, even when this can be known, the client may end up paying the credit card summary with dollars and the perception does not correspond," added the tax expert. For banks, those kinds of strategies are impossible to detect at the moment. There could be cases in which a consumer uses cards from 4 different entities in which he charges expenses for USD 299 in each one and ends up paying an exchange rate of $275 for all those consumptions, while another client with a single credit card who consume USD 310 will end up paying a dollar of 314 pesos. Regarding this problem, on Friday the AFIP met with chambers of the sector to discuss implementation methods. The entity led by Carlos Castagnetto undertook at that point to provide centralized data on customer consumption so that they can charge at the exchange rate that corresponds to each user, avoiding maneuvers to avoid the surcharge. ““The implementation would be this week, so there would be a few days left to adjust just” "The implementation would be this week, so there would be a few days left to adjust just," AFIP sources told Infobae about the technical response that the financial sector was requesting. Implementation that, however, is already born with difficulties because not all banks have the ability to provide this information immediately. But even with centralized data, there are still complicated details. For example, what happens to those who pay part or all of their consumption in foreign currency by credit card with US dollars. The difference is not minor, since the regulations establish that those who exceed USD 300 of consumption pay the exchange rate of $314 for all their consumption, while those who do not exceed it pay the card dollar of $275. With which, a few dollars of difference can mean a huge cost for the consumer. If a user uses different cards from different entities, it complicates the application of the Qatar dollar for banks If a user uses different cards from different entities, it complicates the application of the Qatar dollar for banks Finally, there is another issue to be defined. And it has to do with accounts with co-owners. How is the USD 300 limit computed in this case? Is it still $300 or is it doubled because there are two people involved? There is already information in the system that can help define the problem, for example in the rules that weigh on the savings dollar and that go for the most restrictive option: those who share accounts have access to only one person. But the banks ask for clear definitions for this case. In the case of the purchase of financial dollars, faced with a similar problem, the stock exchange companies chose to ask the client for a sworn statement that establishes that he is complying with the norm (for example, that of not having bought a savings dollar in the previous 90 days to operate r with MEP dollar or counted with liquidation). Thus, they are released from responsibility. But, in fact, the affidavit does not have any control: it is assumed that whoever completes it is simply complying with the rules. While the AFIP develops a system to share data, the banks are charging the highest exchange rate to those who can In the financial system, meanwhile, they are trying to respond according to their possibilities. There are already cases in which it was decided to put a limit of USD 300 on consumption. And, while AFIP creates the necessary system, they plan to apply the extra 25% surcharge to those who can: to those customers who consume more than USD 300 with plastics from the entity itself. Whether or not customers who divide consumption into different cards will be able to avoid the 25% extra surcharge will depend, later, on whether the AFIP decides to make its system retroactive. Something that the agency sees as possible because consumers, since last week, knew that they were subject to the tax. https://www.infobae.com/economia/2022/10/17/dolar-qatar-por-que-hay-personas-que-no-pagan-el-nuevo-tipo-de-cambio-a-pesar-de-gastar-mas-de-usd-300/

The publication of a Facebook user made visible a desperate fact: about 15 dogs were locked in a house and are attacking each other for lack of food. The posting went viral on the networks and formal complaints were not long in coming. Yesterday, members of the City Police appeared twice to verify the situation, but the prosecutor in charge has not yet issued a search warrant to rescue the abandoned dogs inside a house in Villa Lugano, in the City of Buenos Aires. Matías De Vito lived there, a "violent man addicted to drugs who mistreated animals and people," Silvia, a neighbor, told TN. 15 days ago he was arrested for disobedience, since he had violated a perimeter order and, from that moment, the animals were left in a state of absolute abandonment.

It was precisely she who heard the dogs' cries of pain and recorded the painful images with her cell phone camera. "My life has been torture for ten years, since the owner came out of a hospitalization for addictions," the neighbor of department 4 of this "chorizo" type house told TN. During all this time, Silvia was afraid to report him because of the constant intimidation and death threats that she received from De Vito. “He was also imprisoned in the Ezeiza prison, but since he was released three years ago everything was worse: he made the dogs -a Pitbull breed- have several offspring, he had no money to feed them because he was drugged and he let the animals hungry they ate the oldest dog in the hallway, in full view of everyone, while he laughed out loud, "added the neighbor indignantly.

As seen in the images, the property is a complete dump full of emaciated dogs that cry, bark and bite each other due to the desperate famine they are suffering. Thanks to the request for help on Facebook, the complaint was made to the City Police. But they still could not rescue the abandoned and starving dogs as the search warrant from the prosecution is awaited.

But they still could not rescue the abandoned and starving dogs as the search warrant from the prosecution is awaited. (Photo: Facebook Capture) Given the dozen complaints from people who were horrified by the publication on Facebook, officers from the Environmental Crimes Division appeared yesterday around 11:00 and verified the state of abandonment and overcrowding of the animals. According to sources from the City Police, the dogs were indeed eating each other. But they still cannot rescue them since they need the search warrant from the prosecutor in charge. Also read: Terror in Mendoza by the mutilator of dogs: he pulls out the nails of the animals and abandons them in a canal According to Silvia's statements, the dogs have been without water or food since De Vito was arrested for another crime committed against his own sister. The house was closed with a padlock and with the animals inside. “Every time he was arrested, Matías's sister came in to feed them and clean. We also fed them. But this last time the police came looking for him, he put a padlock on the door so that no one could enter, ”added Silvia. Fernando Pieroni, one of the most important animal rights activists in the country, was immediately involved in the cause. “The court that arrested this man and allowed him to leave the dogs locked up when they took him prisoner has to take responsibility. This act of cruelty is also the fault of the 18th Civil Court and the personnel of the 8th Police Station of the City Police," Pieroni told TN.

As soon as her friend Evita Godoy published the images on Facebook with the request for help and the address of the place, the comments of other users Rivers began to reply: "Why don't you call the animal rescuers?", "They live with a boy who is worse off than the dogs", "And didn't you throw food at him?", are just some of the hundreds of Phrases that Internet users wrote.

Since Stellantis launched the new T270 engine, we saw that it was only associated with the AT6 transmission and front-wheel drive. It happened in Compass, and in Toro. Interestingly, for the Renegade facelift, the Trailhawk version offered the combination of the 1.3L turbo with the 9-speed automatic transmission and 4WD. When we consulted brand managers on this issue, they clarified that they were perfectly combinable, but that they were not doing so due to the number of available components. The executives affirmed that we would soon see turbocharged 4x4 variants of the SUV C and the compact pickup, and now from Brazil comes the announcement that FIAT is preparing the Toro 4WD gasoline. Bull 1.3T 4WD According to rumors, the Toro T270 with four-wheel drive will arrive in Brazil in 2023 and only on the highest trim levels, including versions like the Ultra. T270 engine characteristics 1.3L 4 cylinder Direct injection + Turbo hip distribution 175 hp and 270 Nm It is said that the traction system will be the well-known one associated with the 2.0 turbodiesel engine with intelligent distribution, central locking and the so-called 4WD Low that uses the ultra-short 1st (normally it is set to 2nd) as a reducer. The 4x4 version of the Toro would also include traction programs with Auto (Automatic), Sport (Sport), Snow (Snow, recommended for very slippery floors), Sand/Mud (Sand/Mud) modes, in addition to rear differential lock . Does T270 replace TD350? The replacement will not be instantaneous, but globally TD engines are being withdrawn due to costs and difficulties especially related to complying with anti-pollution regulations such as the particulate filter and the addition of Urea. On the higher cost of the turbodiesel engine, we must add that the 2.0 is imported from Italy against the 1.3T that is manufactured in the region. Finally, in pickups turbodiesels are still in vogue for reliability, durability and torque, but in the case of Stellantis it is expected that the brand will add a new one with greater displacement and power that is spoken for use in both Commander and the new flatbed of RAM. Do you find it interesting that the 1.3 turbo engine adds 4WD traction? Explain why and without attacking in the comments so we can have a dialogue .https://noticias.autocosmos.com.ar/2022/10/13/fiat-toro-13-turbo-prepara-la-version-4wd

From September 17 to 23, the Healthy Aging Week was launched, based on a rule that was sanctioned last Thursday by the Buenos Aires Legislature. (iStock) "I always say that dreams come true. For me, dancing here, at 67 years old, is incredible. I tell women 60 or 67 years old to dance, to go out and have fun and have a good time," said the former model. Anamá Ferreyra, after debuting on the television show Showmatch 2018, hosted by Marcelo Tinelli. Anamá is another example to overcome the prejudice that older people can no longer move as much or enjoy themselves. Anamá very active at 67. She took advantage of the public exposure of the "Dancing 2018" screen to urge women aged 60 or 67 to dance, go out and have fun. Anamá very active at 67. She took advantage of the public exposure of the "Dancing 2018" screen to urge women aged 60 or 67 to dance, go out and have fun. In Argentina, today there are more than 4 million people over 65 years of age, like Anamá. But myths and preconceptions still persist in the imaginary that confuse this stage of life with inactivity, illness, or dementia. To counter myths and promote healthy habits, the "Healthy Aging Week" began until September 21 in the city of Buenos Aires, based on a rule that was approved last Thursday by the Buenos Aires Legislature. It is considered that a person follows healthy aging when they engage in regular physical activity, engage in challenging intellectual activities, maintain social and recreational activity, regularly control blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose, do not use tobacco, and adopt a healthy and balanced diet. . So that more people join the movement, there will be dozens of free activities to enjoy, such as singing in a choir, participating in cognitive games, reading theater or aquatic gymnastics. They will be held in cultural centers, medical institutions, sports centers, parks and squares. The agenda of activities for the Healthy Aging Week can be consulted here. There will be activities not only for the elderly, but also from 18 years, because the way in which each one lives before the age of 65 influences the last stage of life. "Old age is the result of our path through life. For this reason, we propose that we be responsible with our body and our health. The way we choose to live is also part of our future," said José Luis Acevedo, president of the Health Commission of the Legislature, and co-author -along with Claudio Romero- of the rule that establishes promoting the Healthy Aging Week in the third week of September starting this year. "Each person should choose something that arouses their interest, because that will allow them to sustain it over time," said Dr. Demey when interviewed by Infobae. "Each person should choose something that arouses their interest, because that will allow them to sustain it over time," said Dr. Demey when interviewed by Infobae. "Humanity is increasing its life expectancy. By the year 2050, we would reach 90 years. It will be a success of vaccination, medicine, and other factors, but there are also challenges to live longer and preserve quality of life," he said. to Infobae Aldo Caridi, neurologist and undersecretary of hospital care of the Buenos Aires Ministry of Health. Meanwhile, Ignacio Demey, a neurologist at the Hospital Británico y de Fleni, who will be one of the speakers during the talks during the Healthy Aging Week, considered: "Although Argentina is a country with a lot of diversity, people's awareness is growing that the brain and the heart can be protected at the same time by paying attention to risk factors, such as quitting tobacco, lowering altered cholesterol, and less salt in meals, being physically active, and maintaining social interaction. They say that if they stop doing things, their brains atrophy." The range of activities that can be carried out as part of healthy aging is very wide. "Learning a language, taking daily walks, going to a film workshop and discussing the film, among other activities, serve to maintain a healthy life," Demey told Infobae. https://www.infobae.com/tendencias/2018/09/18/en-argentina-viven-mas-de-4-millones-mayores-de-65-como-impulsar-el-envejecimiento-saludable/

16.26 The official social movements called for a change of course and launched their candidate for mayor of La Matanza The open town hall that the social movements that make up the Frente de Todos held at the Deportivo Laferrere stadium, in La Matanza, amalgamated a critical message for the direction of the government and the launch of Patricia Cubría's candidacy for mayor of that district, a of the referents of the Evita Movement and wife of the organization's leader, Emilio Pérsico. The closing of the act was in charge of Daniel Menéndez, Juan Carlos Alderete and Cubría. Menéndez (leader of Somos Barrios de Pie and an official from the Ministry of Social Development) said that the Government is in "discount time" in managing him. "Our most important favor to this political process is to encourage community organization and raise our voices so that our government finds today, already in discount time, the response that the people need," said Menéndez. ads by Alderete stated that "the people live in a difficult situation", that "inflation eats up salaries and hunger and poverty grow". And he stressed: “The Monetary Fund conditions us asking for more delivery while the monopolies earn like never before and the workers have poverty wages. Every time the government gives in to these pressures, the [Mauricio] Macri, the [Patricia] Bullrich, the [Horacio Rodríguez] Larreta get stronger.” The last speaker was Cubría, who ran for mayor of La Matanza, where she governs Peronism with Fernando Espinoza as mayor. "We are going to make effective our candidacy for mayor of La Matanza and we are going to renew Peronism," announced the Buenos Aires deputy, who stressed: "We can no longer live in this situation of abandonment." 16.22 Plaini: "Our government cannot continue to be subject to the conditioning of corporate sectors" The general secretary of the Canillitas union, Omar Plaini, raised the need to nationalize the banks, po[CENSORED]r control in the Central Bank, increase taxes for the highest sectors and reactivate the Media Law. "Our government cannot continue to be subject to the conditioning of corporate sectors that privilege their interests over those of the majority," he declared, with Máximo Kirchner and Roberto Baradel behind him. 16.05 The buses of the militants cover Cerrito and Pellegrini Loyalty Day act in Plaza de Mayo Loyalty Day act in Plaza de Mayo Rodrigo Néspolo - THE NATION An orange school bus turns into Marcelo T. De Alvear street. “Loyalty to Cristina. Yesterday, today and always”, promises a poster with a photo of the vice president, taped to the back. The bus heads towards Cerrito, but manages to make only two blocks. Although cars could still circulate, at that point it was already difficult to move forward due to the number of parked buses. Orange schoolchildren mix with white groups and take over both Cerrito and Carlos Pellegrini, on both sides of 9 de Julio Avenue. On that street it is no longer possible to circulate. It is totally cut off by the militants and their flags resting on the asphalt to save their places in the columns that are preparing to advance to Plaza de Mayo. Although traffic was interrupted, a few minutes before 2:00 p.m., the time La Cámpora announced, the 9 de Julio metrobus was still running. The closer to the Obelisk, the avenue fills with militants between flags of different organizations. A bus 17, which makes the Wilde-Recoleta route, was trapped at the intersection of Diagonal Norte and 9 de Julio, the point chosen by the Kirchner organization to concentrate. With the help of the City police, who freed the metrobus from the militants, he managed to make slow progress. Meanwhile, the iconic building on that corner showed on its screen the gubernatorial campaign of Joaquín de La Torre, one of Patricia Bullrich's candidates. Next to the face of the Buenos Aires senator, it reads in yellow capital letters: "It is necessary to put order." 15.49 As the President, Cerruti also targeted Macri The presidential spokeswoman, Gabriela Cerruti, also targeted former President Mauricio Macri, after the statements of President Alberto Fernández. “We dream of a fair, inclusive Argentina with rights for everyone. We do not want the country that Macri is pursuing with labor reform, without rights for workers: a pre-Peronist Argentina,” the spokeswoman tweeted. 15.02 UTE unionists arrived at Plaza de Mayo A column of trade unionists from the Union of Education Workers (UTE) mobilized this afternoon. The general secretary of the Buenos Aires union of Ctera, Angélica Graciano, shared images of the call and tweeted: "We march to Plaza de Mayo for national sovereignty and social justice." 14.16 La Cámpora began to spread along Diagonal Norte After 2:00 p.m., the original time of the camporista call, the column of the group led by Máximo Kirchner began to spread through Diagonal Norte. On the street and under the noise of drums and various chants, the militants with bibs from the different sections and jurisdictions and communes of La Cámpora spread out. Everything happens within the framework of the columns delimited by logistics and organization, with blue fabrics. 1:57 p.m. The rally in La Cámpora began prior to the 4:00 p.m. event where Máximo Kirchner and Pablo Moyano will speak After noon this Monday at Diagonal Norte and 9 de Julio, La Cámpora began to gather. In small groups, the general call is scheduled for 4:00 p.m., to go to Plaza de Mayo, but it is expected to take at least one more hour, according to sources from the organization. Thus, the speeches that Máximo Kirchner and Pablo Moyano could give could only begin after 6 p.m. 13.37 Different government officials expressed themselves on the networks for Loyalty Day Within the framework of the commemoration of October 17, different officials and trade unionists wrote on social networks what Loyalty Day means to them, which will have three different acts in the city of Buenos Aires. Wado de Pedro, Victoria Tolosa Paz, Daniel Scioli, Gabriela Cerruti and Juan Manzur are some of the politicians who expressed themselves on Twitter. The new Minister of Social Development, Victoria Tolosa Paz, wrote: “Our loyalty to the working people and to those who most need a present State is and will be unbreakable. Because today, like yesterday, our three Peronist flags guide us high: Social Justice, Economic Independence and Political Sovereignty”. In the same way, the chief of staff, Juan Manzur, reflected on "the po[CENSORED]r mobilization" that "freed Perón from prison." He said: "That day of loyalty with whom he had restored dignity to the working majorities, marked the beginning of our movement and of a more just, independent and sovereign Homeland." https://www.lanacion.com.ar/politica/dia-de-la-lealtad-en-vivo-el-minuto-a-minuto-de-los-actos-del-peronismo-nid17102022/
