  1. A new regulation that encourages the use of these pesticides, together with the ban of 151 agrochemicals due to their high danger and the creation of the Public-Private Advisory Commission on pesticides, are the three new measures announced by the Agricultural and Livestock Service. The Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG), through its national director José Guajardo Reyes, announced a series of measures regarding pesticides in order to move towards more sustainable agriculture. This is how the resolution was signed that prohibits the use of 14 groups of pesticides due to their high danger to people, animals and the environment, which translates into 151 commercial presentations. Along with this, new regulations were presented that encourage the use of pesticides based on natural extracts and the SAG Public-Private Advisory Commission was created that will seek to improve and modernize agrochemical regulations in our country. Guajardo, national director of the agency dependent on the Ministry of Agriculture - led by Minister Esteban Valenzuela - highlighted the announcement of the measures on National Environment Day, announcing the signing of the three resolutions. “It is an important day for agriculture, thinking about what our President Gabriel Boric asks of us, a more sustainable agriculture for a much greener country,” he explained. The announcement was made together with various unions and representatives of peasant groups who highlighted that the initiatives adopted by the SAG mark a before and after in terms of the work of use and authorization of agricultural pesticides in our country. Pedro Pérez, President of the National Confederation of Temporary Workers of Chile, expressed that this is “a step forward towards food safety, towards valuing the country and identifying ourselves in the world as a country that cares about producing healthy food, healthy for the people who consume them and healthy for their workers, who harvest and produce them.” Regarding the resolution prohibiting the manufacture, import, distribution, sale, possession and application of 14 active pesticide substances, such as Binapacril, Captafol, Chlorobenzilate and Ethylene Dichloride, among several others; These are listed in the Rotterdam and Stockholm conventions as compounds with undesirable effects on the health of people, animals and the environment, and although they do not have current products in our country, they cannot be registered or used in our territory either. . These international conventions, both Rotterdam and Stockholm, to which Chile is a subscriber, seek to control and reduce the risks associated with dangerous chemicals and environmental contaminants, including some pesticides, through regulation and international cooperation. https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/10/04/gobierno-apuesta-por-agricultura-sustentable-sag-anuncia-uso-de-plaguicidas-naturales/

  3. It's the same thing every month: some games arrive and others leave Xbox Game Pass, so in the latter case we no longer have access to them unless we want to buy them in the store, usually already quite discounted due to time. elapsed since its launch. And of today's batch, there is one that is especially painful because last year he starred in very positive headlines among the media that tried it. The fact is that this list of games that are leaving Xbox Game Pass is now official and I just remind you that, in case you want to enjoy them before they leave, the date set to do so will be October 15, Sunday. So you have practically two weeks ahead of you (and a lot of storage to occupy) in which it will be possible to take a break between Lies of P, Starfield and other recent releases to see how these games that say goodbye to the service are. Trek to Yomi, the most notable It must be said that of all the games leaving Xbox Game Pass this October, Trek to Yomi is surely the most notable of all. At least the best known, which almost a year and a half ago came into service amidst compliments and cheers for its original approach in which it combined a very traditional game system with a unique staging that we have rarely seen in a title. of these characteristics. And seeing a game with lateral scrolling, in black and white, and with a narrative so present in all its phases was really attractive to a large number of players who started to download it the moment it landed on the service. . After all, her story of loss and revenge was so classic that it was impossible not to be drawn to her at some point. In any case, apart from this Trek to Yomi, the rest that leaves Xbox Game Pass is much less po[CENSORED]r and well-known, although surely in some cases... just as fun. Look what games they are. Five more titles are leaving Eville, for example, is a kind of multiplayer Among Us in which we must solve murders as if it were an Agatha Christie novel, which is also available on PC, but you certainly won't miss it. OVERHELM, however, is a red and black pixel art that seems to have come from the guts of Virtual Boy, and is characterized by a practically shooter development, typical of the 80s, and as frenetic as it is fun. We do encourage you to try this one before it leaves Xbox Game Pass. Shenzhen I/O, for its part, is a game for "very coffee lovers" because it is about creating and manufacturing circuits. So you will have to know some electronics to put components and add them to a set that at the end of the whole process works. The Legend of Tianding takes us to Taiwan at the beginning of the 20th century, during Japanese rule, in a side-scrolling title similar to Trek to Yomi. Finally, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion is also leaving Xbox Game Pass, a fast-paced adventure starring animals and vegetables in an epic battle to pay taxes to Mayor Onion (just as you read it). https://hardzone.es/noticias/juegos/juegos-abandonan-xbox-game-pass-2/
  4. We cannot say that with each passing day we learn more about the future Nintendo Switch 2, but it is true that with each new rumor that is unleashed, it seems that we are getting closer to a release that seems predestined to occur in 2024. Now, there are those who have ventured to specify a potential launch window for what will be the new generation of Japanese consoles. As we told you, all signs point to it being next year when we have the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, the new hybrid console? from the Japanese of which little by little more news and potential technical specifications are becoming known. Which is what interests us. Now, do you know when in 2024 the possibility of it being put up for sale could open wide? Before Wii and Wii U It has been a YouTuber who has raised the hackles by giving information about a job that Nintendo is looking to fill in the marketing department and in which it is specified what conditions the applicant must have but, at the same time, you can read a kind of notice by which the Japanese anticipate "a strong marketing campaign for the second half of 2024." More specifically, between the months of June and August onwards. It is obvious that data like this opens the doors to a launch of Nintendo Switch 2 before the summer or, also, for the last days of August, just before the start of September and the school year. If it does so in June, it will be a movement similar to the one that Nintendo 64 starred in in Japan in 1996, when it went on sale before anywhere else (it would not arrive in Spain until March 1997), although those were less globalized times. . In September, for example, Sony put its PSP on sale in 2005 in Europe, after doing so in December 2004 in Japan. Or Wii and Wii U, which preferred to land in stores in the last days of the year. The first on December 8, 2006, and the second on November 18, 2012. So, as you can see, there are dates and possibilities for all tastes. Virtually safe launch What there is no doubt is that something is moving around the new Nintendo console, which is already completely designed and finished, ready to enter a final production process that ends with its launch worldwide. And when the river rings every day it means that the Japanese are ceasing to be discreet when it comes to showing off their new hardware, so more options are opening up to really know what is going to happen. And skipping a Nintendo NdA is something very serious and can put the company you work for at risk. So it is understandable that everything is hermetic and few confirmations of something that, for many, is evident: Switch 2 will arrive in 2024. https://hardzone.es/noticias/equipos/nintendo-switch-2-fecha-lanzamiento/
  5. One of the most controversial points that generated the veto presented by the Executive against the Usurpation Law was the gradual nature of penalties, in particular, with respect to the seizure of land or homes that were carried out without violence. The original wording established that any crime of usurpation would be punished with prison, however, La Moneda included in the veto a gradual formula: a judge will be the one who evaluates case by case and establishes whether the infraction has a custodial consequence or, is satisfied with a fine. For the opposition to be able to print its original wording in the law, it needs the Government's proposal to fall, which is already complicated, and also requires 2/3 of the Chamber for the initial proposal to be maintained. If neither of the two is achieved, the articles may end up lawless and, in that case, current legislation prevails, which directly establishes that non-violent usurpation has the penalty only of a fine. As soon as the veto of the Usurpation Law was made public – on Friday, September 29 – the opposition came out en masse to criticize the proposed measures. Although there are 14 observations contained in the veto, the focus of controversy has been that the Government proposes establishing a gradual range of penalties for the crime of non-violent usurpation, ranging from a fine to a prison sentence. The recently passed law only contemplated the second, and that change is the one that has generated the most criticism from the opposition. However, if they reject this point – as they comment with reservation –, they run the risk of being left without any innovative wording and, therefore, the current regulations would operate: non-violent usurpation is penalized with a fine. While the Government's measure was being processed, Apruebo Dignidad commented on their apprehensions regarding the wording of the Usurpation Law recently passed by Congress. And the document established prison sentences, to the lowest degree, for all types of usurpations: violent – with violence on things – and non-violent. Finally, the Executive presented a veto in which “a modification is made to the penalties that were planned to make them gradual. Regarding the usurpation that is carried out with violence and intimidation, the penalty proposed by Parliament is left as it was, which is a minor prison sentence in its medium to maximum degree,” explained the Minister of the Interior, Carolina Tohá. “In the case of peaceful usurpation, where there is no violence or intimidation of people and there is no violence in things, (…) what is established is that the judge will define whether there is a prison sentence, which in this case It would be minor imprisonment in its minimum degree, or there is a fine,” added the minister. https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/10/03/sin-pan-ni-pedazo-asi-se-arriesga-a-quedar-la-oposicion-si-rechaza-la-usurpacion-no-violenta/
  6. According to experts, the female black bear that got free admission to Disney World's Magic Kingdom likely won't be the last to make a surprise appearance. Across North America, black bear numbers are increasing rapidly, reclaiming spaces where they have not been seen in more than a century. Florida's nearly 4,000 bears, for example, are surrounded by housing developments, so any wandering animals will likely end up in areas frequented by humans, says Dave Garshelis, co-chair of the International Union's Bear Specialist Group. of Nature Conservation (IUCN) and former biologist for the state of Minnesota (United States). Disney's bear was relocated to the Ocala National Forest, a reserve of about 1,500 square kilometers located between the large cities of Gainesville and Orlando (The Walt Disney Company is the majority owner of National Geographic Media). “Black bears thrive in virtually every state where they reside,” which is at least 40 (of the 49 continental states), Garshelis says. "They are very opportunistic animals, which take advantage of all the food resources they can, even if that means being close to a high density of people." As their habitat shrinks and human development increases, more black bears are venturing into metropolitan areas like Minneapolis and Washington D.C. Garshelis remembers a collared black bear that traveled through five densely po[CENSORED]ted states for a total of 1,200 kilometers before being hit and killed by a car in Louisiana. (Related: What you should do if you encounter a wild animal) The relationship between bears and humans Contrary to what many believe, bears (even grizzlies) "tolerate people very well," says Daryl Dancer, a British Columbia tour guide. "It's amazing there aren't more negative encounters." Black bears typically flee when a human approaches, while brown bears (which include the grizzly subspecies) typically remain hidden until the human advances. "In most cases where a grizzly bear and a human come into close contact, not only is there no attack, but the human likely doesn't know there is a grizzly bear nearby," Garshelis says. In a recent video widely shared on the Internet, a mother grizzly and her calf appeared to follow a group of hikers in Banff National Park, Canada. Although some wrongly characterized the family as "harassing" hikers, experts say it's much more likely that the bears were simply using the trail to get to their destination. "If a bear had bad intentions, it would be lurking in the shadows, appearing and disappearing," Dancer says. As bears and people continue to come into contact, especially in tourist areas, it's important to focus on how we can live in harmony, Dancer says.

  7. Hundreds of beautifully restored classic Porsches filled the parking lots and the Laguna Seca Circuit itself, during the seventh edition of the Rennsport Reunion, the largest global event dedicated to the Porsche world, which brought together more than 90 thousand followers last weekend. and fans of the brand and motorsports in general on the Californian coast. But among all the Porsches that filled the mountains and roads in the Monterey area, there were three that stood out as the winners of the 2023 Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge, organized by Porsche North America. The Restoration Challenge is aimed at cars manufactured between the years 1950 and 2000. This year and for the first time, all Porsche Centers in the United States were invited to compete in one of three categories: Preservation, Restoration and Individualization. Around 70 vehicles were entered into the competition, and after an exhaustive pre-selection, 9 finalist cars were exhibited during Rennsport Reunion 7, where the champions were crowned, chosen by Porsche Classic specialists, in addition to a winner by po[CENSORED]r vote. Individualization winner: 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Coupé (Beverly Hills) This 1991 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 received treatment similar to the Porsche Sonderwunsch (special wishes) program. The engine was disassembled, degreased, cleaned with dry ice, steamed and put through a tumbler to make it new again. The cylinders were bored and new pistons and liners installed. Upgraded racing springs and valves were fitted, before the heads were modified to receive new gaskets. A single-mass flywheel replaced the dual-mass flywheel and the crankcase was modified to fit a high-performance GT3 oil pump. The cooling fan was painted Speed Yellow, to match the leather interior, which was touched up and French stitching was added in Speed Yellow. The headliner was then replaced with Alcantara and the instrument panel was customized with a Speed Yellow tachometer with the Porsche 75th Anniversary logo. Restoration winner: 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 Type 964 (Napleton Westmon) This 1994 Porsche 911 Turbo 3.6 had a nice looking paint job, although the interior needed work. The entire car was stripped down to bare metal and epoxy primed, sanded and repainted in 3 coats of Porsche Black, all finished in 3 coats of clear. After weeks of sanding and wet polishing, the car was ready to return to final assembly. The exterior underwent a final polish before the headlights, taillights, corner markers and bumpers were reinstalled. Once the interior was finished with new carpets and reupholstered seats, the car was ready for its Rennsport debut. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2023/10/03/porsche-rennsport-reunion-7-tres-joyas-de-la-restauracion
  8. La Pulga, who has already missed three games since his arrival in the United States, is in doubt to face matchday 36 of the MLS. Lionel Messi could miss the fourth game since his arrival at Inter Miami and Gerardo Martino remained in doubt about the presence of the captain of the Argentine National Team ahead of the game against Chicago Fire, as a visitor, on matchday 36 of the MLS. "We will see if he does not run any type of risk in training and we will evaluate whether it is convenient for him to travel or not. He should start working with the team today, perhaps he will do the first part with the group and then he will have a job according to what he needs" Martino explained in the press conference prior to the last practice before the trip to Chicago. And he added: "I would say a month if I knew it was a month. The other day they said that I was out of the league for the entire season. And? You don't run any risk. I make a very serious mistake if I say something hastily, "That's why I avoid exact times. I would say them if I had them, but I don't have them." Asked specifically about the injury to number 10 and whether that will influence the next FIFA date, Tata commented: "It is the scar that is at risk of an opening and there we would be in a much more serious problem. It is in the posterior one. If it is okay in the club, he will be in the Argentine National Team. That commitment is out of the question. And it was something that we recognized in advance." "I am not a person who throws players onto the field because of a football need or results. We need to have everyone healthy and we understand that we are talking about very important players, but someone who is not in condition is not going to give a better response than one that he is healthy," he remarked. A few minutes later, Messi - suffering from an ailment in the hamstring of his right leg that he suffered on September 21 in the duel against Toronto FC - went out to the training ground of David Beckham's franchise, but was on the side. of the squad. Inter Miami will visit Chicago Fire tomorrow at 9:30 p.m. and the return of La Pulga is expected after three absent games, in which his team obtained two draws and one defeat. His team dreams of getting into the Repechage zone for the MLS Playoffs by having 33 points, four less than DC United and five than New York FC, the last to access this privileged place. https://www.tycsports.com/estados-unidos/mls/martino-y-el-riesgo-por-messi-antes-de-chicago-fire-inter-miami-estariamos-en-un-problema-mas-serio-id539127.html
  9. The request aims to negotiate with union No. 2 of supervisors and staff, and has temporarily suspended the strike scheduled for October 4. According to the law, once the mediation date is confirmed, both parties will have five business days to continue talks in search of an agreement, while – according to the company behind the copper deposit – the operation continues to operate normally. BHP, one of the largest mining companies in the world and owner of 57.5% of the copper deposit operated by Escondida, reported that it has requested mediation from the Labor Inspection. This action, the company assures, "reflects the company's permanent willingness to dialogue to reach a mutually beneficial agreement." The Antofagasta Regional Labor Directorate accepted the request. Thus, BHP seeks to negotiate with union No. 2 of supervisors and staff of the mining company located in the Atacama Desert, which groups 924 workers. And with this the strike that began tomorrow, Wednesday, October 4, is suspended. Yesterday it was learned that union No. 2 rejected the last offer from the company with 98.7% of the workers' votes and called for a work stoppage. Now, “as the law indicates, once the mediation date is confirmed, the parties will have five business days to continue talks and build an agreement,” BHP detailed in a statement. The copper company's operation continues to function normally, they say. Regional Labor Directorate will mediate collective bargaining The Antofagasta Regional Labor Directorate will mediate the collective bargaining between BHP and Union No. 2 of Supervisors and Staff of Minera Escondida after accepting the mediation requested this Tuesday by the company, when there was one day left for the strike to take effect. legal approved by 98.7% of the members of the union organization. This was reported by the supervisory body through its regional director(s) of Labor, Margarita López. The authority reported that “once the strike was approved in the collective bargaining process between the Escondida Mining Company and Union No. 2 of Supervisors, within the next 4 days the company requested mandatory mediation before the Regional Labor Directorate of Antofagasta. ", therefore the start of the strike will be postponed during the period of time in which the mediation meetings take place." Margarita López added that “in such a context, the Antofagasta Regional Labor Directorate will proceed to notify the parties of a mediation meeting, which will begin tomorrow (Wednesday), October 4, 2023.” https://www.elmostrador.cl/mercados/2023/10/03/huelga-en-minera-escondida-queda-en-suspenso-bhp-solicito-mediacion-para-negociar-con-trabajadores/
  10. Contra!! Friend, you only have one day of activity. I don't know how you have a degree, but you also have many errors that you must fix: *First, read the news that you want to post, it shows that it has no concept, since I saw that you put a news in news that is about politics, each news in its category. *what happens to a lot of people, respect the content, the content more than 12 lines or your post will be hidden. Improving that, I think you have a chance. If you need help understanding this, contact any friend you have. G.L.

  15. It is one of those games that have marked an era and that Xbox, PC and Nintendo Switch users can enjoy. Now, after years of its initial success, its developers have thought that it would be a good idea to accompany the edition we bought with new content that, for sure, will delight those who tried it at the time. Especially on Microsoft consoles. Indeed, Cuphead is one of those titles that PlayStation users are still waiting for to arrive on their machines and that looks like it never will. In any case, this small detail will not affect in the least the users who have decided to trust Xbox and some of its machines – including PC –, which are already celebrating the sixth anniversary of its success with Cuphead. Six years of happiness cartoon Cuphead hit stores on September 29. 2017, leaving everyone with their mouths open for its incredible staging, inspired by the cartoon comic strips of the 30s of the last century and mixing it all with an arcade, platform and to a certain extent matamartian development, which made the delights of the most classic. Of course, its difficulty bordered on the absurd, with some enemies that were practically insurmountable. We won't say that it was a souls in arcade format, but it was almost there. The fact is that Microsoft wanted to celebrate, together with Studio MDHR, the sixth anniversary of Cuphead with some extra content that, for the moment. Has nothing to do with the game but rather with everything that surrounded its development and the content that was generated for a behind the scenes. It is, as they have come to call it, the “Xbox Anniversary Update.” This update, completely free for those of you who have Cuphead on Xbox, includes a new section within the game where this content appears, which is basically an art gallery with development designs for many of the game's graphic elements, a music player for listen to the original soundtrack and, finally, behind-the-scenes videos that show the step by step of the creation of this marvel. Documentaries, the new books We live in times in which a documentary replaces books and they are the best way to disseminate any content. That is why in these Cuphead extras we can expect to see – in the words of Chad Moldenhauer, director at Studio MDHR – “original sketches, concept art, footage of the painting process or modeling work, unused musical themes from the soundtrack , recordings of orchestra sessions… whatever.” In the end, the goal of this update is that the studio wanted to “thank the Xbox community” for the love that fans have shown them since day one and make “this update feel like a true behind-the-scenes look.” of what it took to bring the game to life, in all parts of development.” So you know. If you have the game on Xbox, update it and enjoy all that extra content right now. https://hardzone.es/noticias/juegos/cuphead-tendra-edicion-aniversario/
  16. We have been talking for several weeks about the prices of the next generation of Intel Core processors that are about to drop. Some rumors pointed to a significant price increase, much greater than we might initially think. Well, thanks to a retail store we know that the Intel Raptor Lake Refresh will increase their prices by 4% compared to the previous generation. More and more users are purchasing a console to play games due to the constant increase in the price of components. Only SSDs and RAM have dropped in price in recent years, raising the price of processors, graphics, motherboards and power supplies. This makes many opt for cheap laptops, Mini PCs or desktop computers without dedicated graphics. They look for systems with components that allow them to work and navigate fluidly and opt for a PS5 or Xbox Series X to play. Acquiring a computer is starting to be a luxury The prices that have been leaked allow us to compare the 14th Generation Intel processors and the 13th Generation. A price increase that was foreseeable but appears to be lower than initially speculated. We know the price difference thanks to a Canadian retailer that has already listed the 14th Gen processors. This retailer indicates that the processors are up an average of 4.5% compared to the previous generation. Note that these are preliminary and could vary in the coming days. These would be the prices according to Canada Computers: We see that the only processor that does not increase in price is the Core i5-14600KF, while the rest do increase. The Core i5-14600K stands out, increasing its price by almost 7% and the Core i7-14700K, which increases its price by less than 2%. Then we will have to see the rest of the prices, since as you know, first Intel launches the K and KF models and then the rest of the models. Note that PC Canada, another retail store, has also published the prices of Intel Core processors. These range between 2.5-4%, with an average increase close to 3.5%. We are talking about half the price increase between both stores. The only thing they agree on is that the 14th Gen will have an irreparable price increase. This brings us closer to 1,000 euro processors, which begins to make no sense, since it raises the prices of the mid-range and, initially. https://hardzone.es/noticias/procesadores/posibles-precios-intel-core-14a-gen-raptor-lake-refresh/

  18. The expert commission will begin working on observations on the text after voting ends on Wednesday and the first draft of the new Constitution is written. The modifications proposed by said collegiate body must be approved by the Constitutional Council and this requires the 22 votes that the Republican Party has. By the way, there remains a third instance: the mixed commission, in which the situation is the same. This October 4th, the voting of the plenary session of the Constitutional Council ends, after which there will be a first proposal for a new Constitution, which will have a marked conservative inclination, due to the absolute majority of the Republican Party (22 councilors) and Chile Vamos (11). , absolute majority in a council made up of 50 people. Despite this, both benches highlight that there were a large number of regulations that were approved unanimously, although most of them are repeated from the preliminary draft, which is why the official sectors point out that, in reality, with said speech they are masking the deep differences that have existed. Despite this, there is still a path of constitutional debate and this does not end with the votes of the plenary session of the drafting body. On Saturday, the expert commission that prepared the preliminary draft will formally receive the first draft of the new Constitution, so that in just five days it will propose observations that "may consist of adding, modifying or deleting articles or their parts." However, any change that this suggests, points out a commissioner, must necessarily be approved by the Republican Party in the Constitutional Council. That is why commissioners from the right and left hope to integrate representatives of that party into the negotiations, in addition to the expert Carlos Frontaura, who is already part of it. “The agreements are going to be broad, even broader than the parties within this process,” says a Republican advisor, alluding to the Yellows and Democrats, who are going to be informally integrated into these conversations. However, there is a third instance: the mixed commission, which will once again study the improvements proposed by the expert commission that have not achieved the approval of the councilors or that have been subject to the veto of the Republican Party. This body, made up of six experts and six advisors, will also be majority right-wing and, as in the previous case, its proposals also require the approval of the Constitutional Council and, therefore, of the Republican Party. In other words, no improvement proposal from either the Expert Commission or the mixed commission will enter the final text without the approval of José Antonio Kast's party, given the veto power it possesses. https://www.elmostrador.cl/noticias/pais/2023/10/02/segundo-proyecto-constitucional-entra-a-la-recta-final-esta-semana-terminan-votaciones-del-pleno/
  19. Paddling a canoe down a murky Belizean river at dawn, Don McKnight and Jaren Serano heard the sound of the Central American river turtle, known locally as the hicatee. A hydrophone placed in the water detected the movements of the reptiles, which had sonic transmitters attached to their shells. The results surprised them: the turtles swam together through the river and, in some cases, they did not separate themselves even a meter from their peers. "It was like following a group of whales," says McKnight, an ecologist at LaTrobe University in Australia and the Turtle Ecology Laboratory in Belize. These social turtles could dramatically change how we think of supposedly solitary animals, he says. It was previously thought that turtles gathered together when searching for the same resource, such as a sunny rock, but they generally did not interact with each other. In the recent research, however, the turtles seemed to be looking for company. "It was very nice to see," says Serano, a master's student in the Department of Wildlife Ecology and Conservation at the University of Florida (United States). What's more, the scientists' study, published this week in the journal Animal Behavior, may help conservationists protect this critically endangered species, which has declined throughout its range of Belize, Mexico and Guatemala. There are no solid po[CENSORED]tion estimates for this highly poached reptile, but its number could be as low as 10,000. Hicatees are often sold on the black market for their meat, considered a delicacy in Central America. "Belize remains the last bastion of the species, although if poaching continues for meat and eggs beyond domestic consumption, [it could become extinct] within the next 30 years," says Venetia S. Briggs-Gonzalez, an ecologist specializing in wildlife from the University of Florida that is not involved in the research. Random or social? McKnight and Serano were conducting other research on hicates in the spring of 2020 when they discovered that the animals move in unison. "It's one of those random, silly ways that happens sometimes in science," McKnight says. To find out if the turtles were actually socializing, the team found a section of the river that did not have any of the known variables that could attract turtles, such as logs, rocks or vegetation. By placing sonic transmitters on the shells of 19 juveniles of both sexes, the team was also able to rule out mating behavior. https://www.nationalgeographic.es/animales/2023/09/sorprendente-descubrimiento-pone-patas-arriba-conocimientos-tortugas
  20. Between 2015 and 2018, Fernando Alonso lived his worst years in Formula 1. After failing to win the title with Ferrari, the Spaniard bet everything on the return of the McLaren-Honda duo, which in the late 80s and early 90s had dominated the World Cup, and which was formed again since 2015. The outcome is known to everyone, and is summarized in the remembered radio message from the two-time world champion to his team: “GP2 engine.” Now, at 42 years old and with a totally different present in F1, Alonso decided to sell one of the jewels of his garage, which has the peculiarity that it is practically new. Alonso's McLaren Elva: Exclusive and unused Through the Bonhams auction agency, Alonso put his McLaren Elva up for sale, a supercar launched by the British brand in 2019. Although the Spaniard bought it that year, it is a 2022 model, so, at most, it will have been just over a year in his possession. The extremely particular appearance of the Elva is linked to the fact that it is a tribute to the McLaren Elva M1, a model driven by Bruce McLaren in the early 60s, and which was the predecessor of the competition cars with which the Woking brand dominated in the Can-Am competitions between the end of the aforementioned decade and the beginning of the 70s. The McLaren Elva is powered by a 4.0L twin-turbo V8 engine, from the McLaren Senna, which delivers 815 HP (804 Hp) and 800 Nm. It works with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and is rear-wheel drive. In terms of performance, it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.9 seconds, and reaches 200 km/h in 6.7 seconds. Its maximum speed is 326 km/h. In addition to its particular mechanics and design, the Elva has active aerodynamics (used as a replacement for the windshield) and carbon fiber chassis. For its part, the cabin is for two people, who sit in competition-style seats. Another detail: to drive it or be a passenger, it is essential to wear a helmet. Alonso's Elva is unit number 114 of only 149 that were produced. The fact that he bought such an exclusive model means that he likes it, or at least that he bought it to drive it on several occasions. Well, apparently none of that happened, since the Elva's odometer barely shows five kilometers traveled. Alonso's McLaren Elva will be auctioned on November 25 in Abu Dhabi, coinciding with the close of the F1 season there (11/26). It is expected to sell for between 2.5 and 3 million dollars, with the Spaniard himself being the one who will hand over the keys to the new owner. The Elva's sale comes months after the Asturian driver himself sold his Ferrari Enzo, the number 1 made in Maranello, at a price of 5.8 million dollars. Will she be making room to buy some other jewelry? We will see. https://noticias.autocosmos.cl/2023/10/02/ni-lo-uso-fernando-alonso-se-deshace-de-su-exclusivo-mclaren-elva
  21. The Uruguayan, who played a few minutes in the Superclásico and even scored a bicycle kick goal that was annulled by a fine offside, made a positive post after the hit in La Bombonera. It's a blow, but we already thought about Thursday," said Jorge Almirón, who strongly criticized the refereeing of Andrés Merlos but also made self-criticism and assumed that in the Superclásico "everything turned out the other way around." Boca was never able to gain a foothold in La Bombonera. It was difficult for him to build with an alternative team, it seemed disorganized and he accused the lack of rhythm of several players. But he does not have time to complain too much and must change his mentality to start thinking about Palmeiras, and precisely in that sense there was a reference for the team that left a message of unity with that goal in mind: Edinson Cavani. El Matador, who entered a few minutes yesterday against River and even had the tie in that tremendous bicycle kick that ended up being annulled by a fine offside at the request of the VAR, made a hopeful post for all the people of Boca late in the early hours of Monday. "Together and more together than ever," Cavani wrote alongside an image of him with several of his teammates in one of the goal shouts of the last games played at Brandsen 805. And it is not the first time that the 36-year-old striker with an extensive career in Europe sends a message of this type: he had already done it precisely after the bitter taste draw in the first leg with Verdao. With just a handful of months in Boca, the Uruguayan is already assuming that leadership role and not only demonstrates it on the field or in the locker room, but also with the optimism that he usually expresses through his social networks.

  22. The company requested a reorganization process to avoid the bankruptcy of the fast food chain. This request is added to another similar one to avoid the fall of Savory. Unifood operates various brands, with Santander Chile bank, Bidvest and Comercial CCU as PJ & D's main creditors. The company attributes its financial problems to the social outbreak of 2019 and the pandemic, and is exploring various options to stay afloat, including renegotiation of contracts and the closure of unprofitable premises. After denouncing the negative effects of a “combo” that includes the pandemic and the social outbreak, the gastronomic conglomerate Unifood, one of the largest in the country and owned by the investment fund Mesoamérica based in Costa Rica, submitted a request to court to initiate a reorganization procedure for its fast food chain Pedro, Juan y Diego (PJ & D). The request marks the second reorganization process that Unifood has requested for one of its brands in just a week. Previously, the company had required a judicial refinancing process to avoid the meltdown of Ice Cream SpA, the company that operates the well-known Savory ice cream parlors. This process has no relationship with the company manufacturing the products, which belongs to the multinational Nestlé. According to Diario Financiero, the Pedro, Juan y Diego fast food chain, under the control of Unifood through the company Cuatro SpA. Currently operates 58 stores in shopping centers throughout Chile, employing 640 workers. The liabilities of this chain amount to more than $17,149 million, and the main creditors include the Santander Chile bank, Bidvest (distributor of potato chips) and Comercial CCU. According to the aforementioned media, these liabilities are added to those of Ice Cream SpA, which exceed $15 billion. The main creditors of this ice cream chain, which operates 117 stores and employs 818 people, include Scotiabank, Nestlé Chile and Santander Chile. Unifood, under the control of Mesoamérica since 2016, manages not only the ice cream parlors and the Pedro, Juan y Diego brand, but also the Pollo Stop and XS Market chains. “Combo” social outbreak and pandemic In its reorganization requests, Unifood management, advised by lawyer Ricardo Reveco de Carey, has pointed out the social outbreak and the pandemic as the main causes of the financial problems faced by its chains. In reference to Pedro, Juan and Diego, the company has stated that “despite its recognized track record, the company's commercial activity was affected due to factors totally unrelated to the business, its control and of a totally exceptional nature, such as the outbreak "social crisis and the demonstrations that took place during the last quarter of 2019 and the knock-on effects of the Pandemic (Covid-19), which prevented its normal development and the fulfillment of its business projections and financial commitments with creditors and suppliers." https://www.elmostrador.cl/mercados/2023/10/02/unifood-busca-evitar-la-quiebra-de-pedro-juan-y-diego-culpa-al-combo-estallido-social-y-pandemia/
