The first year of Government, economic policy has focused on paying off inherited debts The Government has prioritized an economic policy to reduce the fiscal deficit. One of the pending debts, which Guillermo Lasso inherited from previous administrations, was with the decentralized autonomous governments, those amounts were accumulated even before the pandemic. After the first year of government, the Ministry of Finance ensures that these debts have been paid and that the corresponding amount is paid month by month, in accordance with current regulations. The Central Government lost an item to the local governments due to the Territorial Equity Model. On May 24, 2021, when Lasso took office, he found himself three months behind schedule. According to the Finance Portfolio, they managed to catch up, paying the outstanding amounts for March, April and May. All municipalities and prefectures receive their transfers on time, and are up to date. Less Quito. Why is the Government's debt with Quito not paid off? The Municipality of Quito is the one that generates the most income since it is the largest and, therefore, more availability is needed in the cash register to pay off what is pending. Currently, the government owes the city council around $100 million. At the end of June 2022, the Ministry of Finance offers to leave that amount at $1 million, which would correspond to parish councils, and thus it would be practically settled. VAT refund Another value that must be the return of the Value Added Tax (VAT). The debt was $140 million, according to the notifications registered by the SRI until May 2021, when the change of government took place. That amount was also canceled in its entirety, although after the municipalities entered other refunds that increased it to $237 million, that last value has been reduced to $100 million. In June 2021, the National Assembly presented a tax reform that allows this refund, for purchases and services made by GADs, to be direct. Before this modification, local governments will have to wait even years to be credited with the VAT refund. For example, in October 2020, the Municipality of Guayaquil filed a lawsuit against the Government, led by Lenín Moreno. The judge in charge decided to give the Portfolio of the branch 72 hours to pay the amount from September 2019 to April 2020. This regulatory adjustment can improve for local governments because it presupposes their works with the peace of mind of receiving the money that corresponds to them, but the Government stopped receiving that amount, although tax collection increased in 2022, due to the reform promoted by the Executive. The increase in the price of oil was obtained to pay off debts The Minister of the Economy, when questioned about the destination of the surplus money from oil prices, has responded on numerous occasions that it has served to "put the house in order" and that it has been used to pay off outstanding debts. Álex Rojas, Executive Director of the Association of Ecuadorian Municipalities (AME) says that he does feel a certain increase in the allocations derived from the increase in the price of a barrel of oil. Rojas acknowledges that they still have some differences to agree on. For example, regarding the allocations that must be given within the framework of the Amazon Law and the Mining Law, but he is confident that the Government has honored the debts of past administrations. Resources in the hands of local governments In theory, by transferring the allocations that correspond to the autonomous governments, the social work should reach the citizenry in services; however that is not felt. The economist and university professor, María Herrera, does not find a "recipe" to ensure that this money is properly invested. "That's the million dollar question, how do we control corruption?" What it does emphasize is that the municipalities and prefectures must generate self-sustaining projects in order to also generate their own resources and thus not depend on the political will of the government in power. And the government's social spending? The representatives of the GADs felt satisfied with the management of the Government because they have managed to obtain the values owed; however, citizens still face problems in the most basic services. From the shortage of medicines in health centers, to the lack of material to obtain an identity card in the Civil Registry. Herrera believes that getting up to date with debt is as important as investing in priority issues such as safety, health and education. The specialist explains by means of an example: if a family uses a credit card to buy food, it must be paid at the end of the month, without neglecting other amounts such as the children's educational pensions. The decision to allocate the money for one or another expense has to respond to planning, elaborated in a technical and responsible manner, according to Herrera. Diego Mancheno, an economist and professor at the Catholic University, in turn, believes that it is much more important to pay attention to health and education than to pay off pending debts. He says that the effects of the pandemic emerge much more in a developing country like Ecuador and that is why public investment is needed to meet the needs that correspond to the State.

Prairie dogs, the Gambian rat, and the jungle squirrel are some of the animals that can transmit smallpox in its western variant. After the 30 confirmed cases of monkeypox, Diario AS has contacted the expert Patricia Guillem, Professor of Epidemiology at the European University of Valencia, who explains to us how the zoonosis has been produced, and how the variant is transmits and is jumping borders. “When we talk about communicable diseases, some are emerging, which are diseases that appear again and remain, such as the coronavirus, or we have the antecedent of HIV, which appeared in 1980, and where AIDS exists today and has remained to live with us, but no longer as an epidemic, but AIDS is a pandemic too, it is present in different parts of the world”, he tells us. "If we talk about re-emerging diseases, they are those that at some point in history may appear, are cyclical, and may appear for different reasons, such as tuberculosis or the monkeypox virus in this case." Cases in international travelers "Smallpox as such was eradicated many years ago, but this variant called 'monkey pox', identified in apes, has lived endemicly in some areas of Africa, DR Congo, Gambia, Nigeria... If we go to tropical countries , dengue, malaria, malaria, are diseases that we do not have in Spain, and we can identify some cases in travelers who return with fever and debut with malaria. We do not have this disease in a generalized way, but we may have an imported case”. The example of mad cow disease “There may be specific epidemic outbreaks, and in this case there has been a jump across borders and continents, so there has been some import due to international travel. The routes of transmission are varied, being an endemic disease and whose reservoirs are small mammals, prairie dogs, the Gambian rat, and the jungle forest squirrel... This disease is endemic and has caused zoonosis, so it can also jump the evolutionary barrier, like when mad cows, which, a priori, only affected sheep, cows, and there were cases in humans as well”. “There are many diseases that are born in animals and jump to humans. Now we are talking about an endemic disease that constitutes a zoonosis, because contagion has been demonstrated, and there are variants of the monkeypox disease itself, the western variant being the more benign than the original from central Africa." Prairie squirrels can transmit this variant of smallpox. "What needs to be found out is the clinical evolution of the disease, right now it is benign, with mild symptoms, it does not have major complications, but we can see statistically from the reported cases that the fatality rate is quite variable, from 1 to 1 11%, but you have to look at the data and what kind of people were affected, because the most serious consequences for health occur in children the younger they are". How is it spread? "It is spread by close contact, rubbing, exchange of fluids (sweat, blood, saliva, semen, urine...), droplets can also be a transmission route; studies have been carried out but they would be very large droplets and with very close contact , contagion would be more difficult than COVID or tuberculosis. This transmission route is not contemplated at the moment. Another way of becoming infected is through exudates from skin lesions " "The symptoms begin with fever, swollen glands, headache, muscle weakness, lack of desire for everything, and then the lesions appear, first very few and then very profuse, and those lesions on the skin, in the mouth, in the eyelids, hands, feet, genitals... appear like herpes. international alert "There is a greater alert from the surveillance systems of all countries, we have more scientific evidence, and in the face of any abnormal disease, we put the focus. With the opening of trips, that we seek more trips in contact with nature, all of this can favoring contagion at this time and not at another time of the year. There is also a commercialization of this type of animal. Searching for case zero can be complex but there is a clear path, it is a zoonosis. The heat may be emerging, since it accelerates the fact that the vesicles burst more easily. Does it affect men more than women? "You have to investigate if there is a greater predisposition towards men than women, you should study more. You have to analyze the cases in case it could have been a coincidence, you have to analyze more, go to countries with a higher incidence to see the pattern."

[Moto] How are the new motorcycle helmets required by the EU
#Wittels- posted a topic in Auto / Moto
The ECE 22.06 homologation is a new certification standard that will add extra safety to a vital part for motorcyclists. The helmet is the most important safety item any motorcycle rider has. And now, with the new homologation that comes into force on July 3 for all helmets manufactured and marketed in the European Union, it will gain in safety. The figures speak for themselves, since according to the latest studies, the helmet reduces mortality in the event of an accident by 30%. The figure rises to 40% when it comes to avoiding a serious head injury. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), motorcycle helmets fulfill three fundamental functions: they reduce the deceleration of the skull and the movement of the brain by absorbing the impact, disperse the force of the impact over a larger surface, and prevent direct contact between the skull and the impacting object. From now on, they will also pass much stricter resistance tests than in the current certification. Homologation 22.06 The new EU certificate for helmets departs especially from the current 22.05 homologation. In the first place, there is a greater variety of tests and they are more demanding, highlighting the crash tests. With the new certification, the impact points for the entire surface of the helmet rise to 18, while with the current one only six are applied. Another big difference is the height and speed used in the tests. With the 22.05 homologation, these were carried out at a speed of 27 km/h from a height of three meters. With the new certification, three different heights and speeds are used to get closer to any real impact situation. Likewise, the focus has been placed on the rotational impact of the helmet, which measures a section as important as the safety of the pilot's neck. How does the new homologation affect? Although the new EU homologation comes into force on July 3, it is not mandatory to buy another helmet. Users can continue to use their current helmets until they need to be replaced due to age or deterioration. The National Association of Companies in the Two-Wheel Sector (ANESDOR) recommends, in any case, that motorcyclists "always use helmets approved in Europe, either with the current one or with the new certification." Protectors homologated to the 22.06 regulation will probably show a slight increase in size and weight. To pass the new tests, manufacturers will have to use more material. Likewise, the price will also be slightly increased, since it will be necessary to pay for the new technology. The first models that will arrive in stores with the certificate are the top of the range (integral, folding, open and 'cross'), and little by little the other products in the catalog will be adapted. The new homologation will coexist with the old one until July 3, 2024. Each country, however, reserves the right to extend the margin, because the manufacturers have to sell all the remainder of the old homologation.

The categorical defeat in the Champions League final against Lyon once again puts the magnifying glass on the physical handicap of the azulgrana Alexia Putellas, on the Juventus Stadium pitch, after Barcelona's defeat against Lyon. At Juventus Stadium, Olympique de Lyon not only stole the European crown from Barcelona, but also awakened the ghosts of the past. Other times, distant and not so distant, in which the French were what they also turned out to be in the house of the Vecchia Signora: physically uncontrollable for the azulgrana. In 2012, the first time they met in a friendly, an amateur Barça collided with the reality of professionalism (3-0). "We saw them go by like planes," confessed Melanie Serrano. Seven years later, an already professional Barça felt amateurish in their first Champions League final against Lyon. “We went over the top. They won all the disputes and all the clashes”, the four captains confessed to the then coach, Lluís Cortés, at the meeting at the Budapest airport, which had been pointed out as the turning point for Barça. This Saturday, the French once again dwarfed the azulgrana. The difference is that Barça had arrived in Italy with the certainty that the cup would return to Barcelona. And, although the long faces of the Barça players at the airport in the Hungarian capital in 2019 were not very different from those of this Sunday morning at the Turin airport, the sensations were different. There were, of course, those who hid their emotions, like the foreigners Martens and Engel; those who were able to pose smiling in the photos with the fans, like Mapi León; and those who could still read defeat in their eyes, like Jennifer Hermoso. "I have not been able to sleep all night," revealed the 10, replaced at halftime. All, in any case, coincided in a reflection: “Rage”. To the rage of Turin, similar to that of Budapest, was added, according to the protagonists, a psychological bonus impossible to measure: guilt. “We all have to analyze what we have done wrong. They are bigger, they are stronger and they are more powerful. How many players do we have with physical size? Rolf? Well, at Lyon they are all like Fridolina”, analyzed a source from the coaching staff. And he added: "To be able to compete against these Lyon players you have to be very fast, physically and mentally." Aitana Bonmatí, the flag of cruyffismo, emulated Guardiola on the Juve pitch. He looked at the camera and proudly showed the silver medal. Later, he posted on Twitter: "You have to do self-criticism and continue on this path." Barcelona coach Jonatan Giráldez stated: “Sometimes you win and sometimes you learn. We have to work more." Alexia Putellas did not apologize for the defeat and sought an explanation. “As much as we train and try hard, we need this competitive pace. And it is not what we experience day after day in the national championships”, reflected the captain. Barcelona have won all 30 games they have played in the Spanish league (with an average of 5.2 goals per game), Lyon have won 19 of the 20 games they have played in their domestic competition (3.7). “I think Alexia is right. We knew that we could make a difference physically. They are technical, they handled the ball spectacularly, but their weakness is counterattacks. They have grown a lot, but French football is more intense in that sense. We have PSG that makes us a counterweight, "explained Tiane Endler. The growth of Barcelona, to which the Lyon goalkeeper refers, began in 2006 with Xavi Llorens on the bench -he restructured a section on the verge of disappearance-, was perfected with the professionalization in 2016 and intensified from the Budapest Final. "We realized where the minimum level was to be European champions and we got to work," said Alexia. The change in Barcelona's preparation resulted in a historic treble last season. Lyon, meanwhile, was in the doldrums. Without Hegerberg (injured), with a covid outbreak that affected them in the Champions League and with a coach who did not connect with the squad (Jean-Luc Vasseur), Olympique was left with nothing in the 2020-2021 campaign. And they would want revenge. At Barça they knew it and with Giráldez at the helm (he replaced Lluís Cortés), they raised the pressure in training. "If you don't find the competition in the league, you have to generate it in training," he stresses in the coaching staff. Giráldez, they explain at the Ciudad Deportiva, is a fundamentalist when it comes to competition. “When she got into the little games with us, we wanted to beat each other to the death,” says a Barça player. The daily requirement produced a consequence: 21 of the 23 Barcelona players went through the infirmary. "Injuries made us lose pace, especially in the last part of the season," explains the same source from the dressing room. A physical handicap, invisible in the league, concealable against a strong team with Wolfsburg, naked against Lyon. “Not everything is excellent when you win, nor is everything a disaster when you lose. There will be entry and exit of players, but our ideas will not be negotiated”, concluded Markel Zubizarreta, sports director. Barça fell to Lyon in Turin, something old for the Barça team under construction, something new for the European champions. The magnifying glass, in the same place, counteracts the physical power of Lyon. Link: https://elpais.com/deportes/2022-05-22/el-barcelona-contra-los-fantasmas-del-pasado.html

That greenback strength has combined with rising interest rates in the United States to hamper growth. In one year the dollar has appreciated 12% against the world's strongest currencies. FALSE IMAGES A high dollar against many of the world's major currencies contributes to the economic downturn. That greenback strength has combined with rising interest rates in the United States to hamper growth. They are not the cause of the current economic hardship, but they are adding fuel to the fire, when the world faces historic levels of rising costs of living and much uncertainty due to the war in Ukraine. Experts say the rising dollar is contributing to a "synchronous slowdown" in the pace of economic activity in different parts of the world. "A strong dollar is lowering growth because it occurs at the same time as high inflation, and that high inflation has to be combated with high interest rates," says Eduardo Carbajal, professor of Economics and Finance at the Tecnológico de Monterrey, in Mexico. . So, a high dollar, he points out in dialogue with BBC Mundo, "is making credit more expensive, not only in the United States, but also throughout the world." That means that when borrowing money is more expensive for countries, companies and people, activity slows down and recovery becomes uphill. As if it were a delicate balance, any movement of the economic gear causes an effect in another part of the system. more expensive imports The second effect of an increase in the dollar is that "it raises the price of imported products, which increases inflation," explains Elijah Oliveros-Rosen, senior economist at the consulting firm S&P Global Ratings. A high dollar makes credit and the value of imported products more expensive. FALSE IMAGES And, on the other hand, "it makes the payment of the debt in dollars more expensive", something that can generate fiscal pressures in countries that have few funds to spend, he points out. With meager fiscal budgets, governments are having to face the scars left by the covid-19 pandemic and the need for social assistance that most Latin American families require, who can hardly resist such high inflation. In the end, a higher dollar generates less consumption and less investment outside the US, which, added to the strong fluctuations in the financial markets, does not anticipate a very promising path for the coming months. How much has the dollar strengthened? In the last year, the dollar has appreciated in relation to 10 other strong currencies in the world by about 12%, while so far this year, the increase has been 7%, according to one of the most used indices to measure the performance of the greenback: the “Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index (BBDXY)”. This occurs when the US Federal Reserve (FED), which is the equivalent of the central bank, has embarked on a progressive increase in interest rates to curb inflation. And according to market projections, they will continue to rise at least throughout this year, while investors continue to buy dollars as a way to protect their capital in these times of economic uncertainty. A great challenge that is hitting the advanced economies that have seen a depreciation of currencies such as the euro, the Swiss franc or the pound sterling. How much have Latin American currencies weakened? This has also happened in emerging economies, such as Latin America, which have to deal with weakened currencies, raise their own interest rates or intervene to cushion the fall of their banknotes. Comparing the largest economies in the region, between 2021 and so far this year, the currencies that have devalued the most are those of Argentina -(27%), Chile (-18%) and Colombia (-15%), while that the Brazilian real was the only one that appreciated (3.7%) in the same period. Against this scenario, if inflation does not subside, it is likely that interest rates will continue to rise, experts predict. The Argentine and Chilean currencies are the ones that have devalued the most between 2021 and so far in 2022 in Latin America. And if this is true, the region will have to wait a long time to recover its growth. Capital outflow? The same globally. That's why economists say that we are facing “stagflation” (or at least it is just around the corner), which means low growth with high inflation. The projections of international organizations indicate that it is not unreasonable to think that the US and Europe will enter a recession, that China will slow down sharply and that credit will remain high. High rates in the US make this market more attractive for investors who do not want to take risks and prefer to take their capital out of emerging economies, a phenomenon that, according to the Institute of International Finance (the world business association of the financial industry) already it's happening Link: https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/economia/por-que-el-imparable-ascenso-del-dolar-es-malo-para-la-economia-mundial-y-como-afecta-a-america-latina-nota/

Animals are equipped with mechanisms to get food or to defend themselves. For each animal there are other particularly dangerous animals, for example, for the snake the most dangerous animal is the mongoose, but for us it is not like that. We can define dangerousness in terms of force, deaths caused, speed or strategy. As there are many variables, in this article EcologíaVerde we will present you the characteristics of the 20 most dangerous animals in the world from various perspectives, not only those that are dangerous to humans. Many of them will surprise you! Mosquito (Family Culicidae) The most dangerous animal in the world for humans is one of the smallest and with which we frequently live. By feeding on blood they represent an important vector that transmits diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever or chikungunya. Mosquitoes cause 200 million people to get sick, of which approximately 600 thousand die. Do not hesitate to take a look at the following articles with some Home Remedies for mosquitoes or What are mosquitoes for. African elephants (Loxodonta africana) The elephants have a calm and friendly appearance, but we cannot ignore their 6 thousand kilos of weight. When disturbed they can run at 40 kilometers per hour. Being social animals and with the enormous weight, their stampedes are extremely risky. But these outbursts are also reasonable from a human perspective: there are accounts of elephants using their strength to put man in order. On one occasion elephants destroyed a village that had spread over their territory. Feel free to take a look at Why Elephants Are Endangered. Fat-tailed Scorpion (Androctonus australis) The fat-tailed scorpion is an African scorpion and one of the most dangerous animals in the world. A small bite can kill a man in 7 hours and a dog in just 7 minutes. Its venom is very peculiar because it seems to be specially designed to kill and cause a lot of pain in vertebrate animals, more for protection than for food, since they mainly come from invertebrates. As for other scorpions, there are 1,500 species of which 25 can kill humans. In Mexico and the United States more people die from scorpions than from snakes. Snakes (suborder Serpents) Snakes may or may not be poisonous, but either way their fangs can do serious damage. Every year: 5 million people are bitten. 2.4 million suffer poisoning. Half a million amputations or serious consequences. 125 thousand people die. Non-venomous snakes do not cause deaths but they do cause complications. Among the snakes, the king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) bite is one of the most dangerous, as well as being the largest venomous snake. It can inject up to 7 milliliters of poison in one go, leading many humans to their death. Its natural prey, such as mice, are easily annihilated. Now you know which is the most poisonous snake, but which is the largest snake in the world? Find out below. Hippos (Hippopotamus amphibius) More people die from hippos in Africa than from any other animal. This is surprising because they are herbivorous animals, but attack when they feel threatened. They measure 2 meters and weigh 5 tons, and can run at 32 kilometers per hour with which they can easily knock down a person, or even lions. Females are usually the most violent when they have children to protect. Nile crocodile (Crocodylus niloticus) The most dangerous freshwater animal is the Nile crocodile. Its fangs can even break bones. They live underwater lurking waiting for animals to come to drink. In quick movements they managed to drown them, to swallow them whole and begin to digest them. In some areas there are two daily deaths from these crocodiles. If you want to know more about the Crocodile Habitat: where does it live? Do not hesitate to take a look at this article that we recommend. Stonefish (Synanceia horrida) When we talk about the stone fish we refer to the most dangerous animal in the marine world because it is the fish with the most poison. In fact, the Synanceia horrida's venom lodges in its fin spines and glands. It is neurotoxic and at any time we come into contact with it, wounds will be created, which can lead to death. Golden dart frog (Phyllobates terribilis) When we talk about the golden dart frog, we can say that it is the most dangerous animal in the world at a general level, since it is also the most toxic and poisonous animal in the whole world. It lives in the jungles of South America and its alkaloid poison lodges in the skin. At the slightest touch, it causes: Tetanic muscle contraction. I stop heart Respiratory faliure. We get the poison when they eat certain insects. Just one gram of its venom can kill 10,000 mice or 15 humans. The indigenous natives used this poison for their spear points. Although we are talking about the most dangerous animals in the world, we leave you the following article from EcologíaVerde where we focus on What are the most poisonous animals in the world. Grasshopper (Schistocerca) A grasshopper may seem harmless, but the truth is that this species is a major pest. In just a few days they can wipe out economically and nutritionally important crops. They are found especially in Africa, Europe and Russia and are migratory animals. They have been responsible for severe famines. Coverages of 121 by 26 kilometers have been recorded, where the ground of so many grasshoppers could not be seen. Link: https://www.ecologiaverde.com/los-animales-mas-peligrosos-del-mundo-3922.html

Motorcycle customizations are lately in the doldrums due to the obstacles and restrictions imposed by law. However, from time to time designer jewels like the one we bring you today appear. Looking at its exterior, it could be a motorcycle brought from the future. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is a preparation created by Wayne Buys, better known by his nickname on the Internet as FabMan Creations. And it is that recently he received an order at home through a private individual to modify a BMW R nineT and make it as aerodynamic as an airplane. If you like author motorcycles, this could become one of your favorites. And it is that you can not always see a real BMW R nineT transformed to look like a fighter plane. We are talking about the Storm, the latest customization from Wayne Buys, or what is the same, FabMan Creations. Good old Wayne received a special order from a private client to customize this motorcycle by applying his magic with metal until it looked like a fighter plane. The customizer accepted the challenge and got down to business. The result could not have been more brilliant the truth. But if we tell you that the entire project was created without sketches and that everything has been made by hand, the quotas of amazement rise to the nth degree. Being inspired by a fighter plane, the designer based in South Africa, made a kind of shell with aluminum parts that adapts perfectly to the original shapes of the bike. In fact, under these features, we would find the original BMW design for the R nineT with some small modification to make everything fit well. To carry out this engineering work, Wayne took eight months. Its streamlined design is made of aluminum plates bolted together to resemble the panels of an airplane. However, instead of using rivets, the designer has used Allen screws. The design was completed with a coat of silver paint that gives the Storm a unique appeal. Mechanically, it continues to use the four-stroke boxer engine with air/oil cooling and its 110 horsepower. In fact, you can see how the engine block protrudes from the sides despite being completely faired. Of course, in order to cool it, the designer has created two special ducts that inject air directly into the engine. Another conduit has also been created to cool the oil at the back along with a fan so that the 'blood' of this spectacular creation does not burn. For the rest, everything has been faired with the aerodynamics of the whole in mind. Even the rims have been covered with a metal plate, maintaining that most futuristic look. Superfluous objects have also been removed from the front, so we can see how its headlight has been integrated into the head of the bike or how its handlebars now start from under the suspension fairing. If you're wondering what Wayne has done with his tailpipe, say it's the three holes coming out from under the engine. As for the electronic part and instrument panel, the designer has used a single analog clock accompanied by buttons so as not to lose part of its functions and a screen hidden under the dashboard mesh. In addition, it has functions such as keyless access or remote start. The price of making this customization has not been revealed, but given the level of detail and the hours of work, we can assume that it is not low at all. Of course, the owner has managed to make his motorcycle unique in the world with a very particular design.

The African team was the third rival for preparation games for the Tricolor in the United States. Nigeria and Mexico remain on the schedule. The Ecuadorian soccer team plans three check games in the United States, in June The Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) reported this Wednesday the cancellation of the friendly game scheduled for June 11 against the Mali team, which closed the tricolor tour of the United States in preparation for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. In a statement published on social networks, the FEF "regretted" that "the Mali Soccer Association canceled the friendly match" scheduled to be played at Pratt & Whitney Stadium in Hartford, Connecticut. The cancellation comes in the face of "a corresponding change to the African Cup of Nations qualifiers without prior notice." This modification of the calendar of the African competition forces Mali to play on June 9 against South Sudan, two days before the game that was scheduled against the Tri. The commitment with the Africans was part of the FIFA date in which Ecuador intends to play three verification games on US soil, for now with confirmed matches against Nigeria, on June 2, in New Jersey; and on June 5 against Mexico, in Chicago. "The FEF makes every effort to confirm a new match and complete the three games planned for the June tour," concluded the statement from the Ecuadorian Federation.

Experts from the institute point out that there is a possibility that the national economy will go into a recession in 2023. The IMEF will warn of the danger that in 2023 Mexico will have to face a recession (Shutterstock) The Mexican economy is in a scenario of stagflation, since there is a stagnation in economic activity; investment is depressed, and there are high levels of inflation, assured by experts from the Mexican Institute of Finance Executives (IMEF). They anticipated that there are possibilities that the Mexican economy enters a recession next year, due to the increase in uncertainty, but above all because of the United States economy. “At this time, with the analyzes that we have done in the Economic Studies Committee, the probability of a crisis occurring this year is relatively low. However, not next year and as there are more "clouds" on the horizon and we have more uncertainty, it may be more likely that we will enter a recession, "said Federico Rubli Kaiser, vice president of the Economic Studies Committee of the IMEF. He added that another very important factor will be the US economy. “You have to see how this economy evolves and despite the problems it has been having, it has been marked by a possible recession, not this year but at the beginning of 2023,” he commented. Regarding the Package Against Inflation and Famine (PACIC), the institute said that its scope will be very limited and it is very optimistic to expect that an impact will be observed in a month. Alejandro Hernández Bringas, president of the IMEF, declared that "the impact of the PACIC on inflation will be limited, 24 products of the basic basket that have an impact of 13 percent on inflation, which will be giving us about one percentage point at levels of inflation”. He added that "the reduction of inflation is not what is needed (...) what is required are medium-term measures."

Fidelity is not a virtue that can only be seen in human beings. In the animal kingdom there are also cases of loyalty. Also discover the reason for this behavior. What are the animals most faithful to their partner. (Photo: Capture) The bond of pairs is not exclusive to human beings, in fact some animals experience the sensation of a very strong bond with a partner. This does not happen with everyone, but there are species that practice monogamy. In this case, we have selected 10 animals that are faithful to their life partners. For this, it is necessary to make it clear that animals do not perceive a feeling similar to that of the human being. According to specialist Ginette Hemley, vice president of wildlife conservation, animals that "choose a mate for life" do so to survive. MONOGAMOUS ANIMALS One of the main reasons why "they are faithful", according to the World Wild Life portal, would be the time they would need to invest to raise viable offspring. To understand it better, we can take as an example the case of some birds, which require one of the parents to incubate the eggs in the nest, while the couple must collect food. When the young are large and leave the nest, the parents may decide to stay together to avoid wasting time looking for a new mate. In mammals, monogamy occurs when the offspring need a father figure in order to develop the innate abilities of the species, as happens with wolves. But human beings often romanticize these survival activities to translate them into the romantic ideal of homo sapiens. It is for this reason that, in the stage of falling in love, people look for nicknames or animals to call themselves like them and add a romantic touch. 10 ANIMALS MORE FILES Now that you know the real reason why some animals choose a partner for "life", it's time to find out what those species are. 1. Penguins: Penguins have been cataloged as a symbol of romanticism and spend their whole lives together. They equally care for the eggs, breed and fight together for the survival of their young. Despite being separated for the winter, they are one of the most faithful pairs in the animal kingdom. Penguins in danger of extinction. (Photo: Capture) 2. Turtle doves: It is a kind of monogamous bird and they choose a partner that will accompany them throughout their lives. When you observe them you will realize that the cuddles and signs of affection are constant and that is one of the reasons why every couple recently in love is colloquially called "lovebirds". 3. Lovebirds: Lovebirds are similar to parrots or parakeets. This species of bird is known as the love bird, due to the strong bond that is created between them. 4. Swans: Like penguins, swans are known for their great fidelity. When they are 2 or 3 years old, they start looking for their mate. The union confirms the well-known phrase “until death do us part”. There is no doubt that it is one of the most romantic species in the animal world, since when they come together, they come to form a heart frame due to their long necks and beaks. 5. Killer Whales: Included in the world's largest family of dolphins, killer whales are so faithful that they have the same partner for life. 6. Otters: This couple is a clear example of teamwork. They share everything, food, house, games and even sleep holding hands. 7. Seahorse: They have a behavior similar to that of "Romeo and Juliet". According to the latest studies, it was found that seahorses die of love when their partner fails and this happens because they will remain by their side until they die of hunger. 8. Mice of the father: Far from the promiscuous fame of rodents, prairie voles are monogamous and form pairs for life, caring for and raising their young with the female and the male. 9. Gibbons: Among primates, about 25% of species are socially monogamous, and among them are the gibbons, they are highly monogamous. 10. Wolves: The gray wolf has a very well-defined family nucleus where the protection of the members, respect and fidelity prevail. It is one of the few monogamous mammals out there. When they choose a mate they stay with her and are part of the cubs' upbringing. Then, as the young grow, they can choose to have another partner. The law of this animal is never to have more than one partner at a time. Link https://www.infobae.com/america/peru/2022/05/17/cuales-son-los-animales-mas-fieles-a-sus-parejas/

The Voxan Wattman is an electric motorcycle with a power of 425 hp (317 kW). The fastest motorcycle in the world is the Voxan Wattman. A spectacular electric motorcycle with the exaggerated power of 425 CV (317 kW). A force of nature capable of exceeding 400 kilometers per hour like nothing happened. A missile that MotoGP champion Max Biaggi has piloted, breaking record after record, reaching a speed of 455,737 km/h. Something unthinkable until now for a mount that is also very respectful of the environment, since for this purpose it is equipped with a 15.9 kWh electric battery. The most curious thing is that it surpasses itself and by far, since the previous record was held by this same mount with 407 km/h. In the incomparable setting of the landing strip where NASA's space shuttles landed, the Shuttle Landing Facility at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the Voxan Wattman motorcycle has managed to set up to ten new speed records in a single acceleration. It has even been able to get to 466 kilometers per hour at some points in the test, although the valid record has been set at 456, as it was necessary to take out the means for two laps of the circuit. As established by the regulations of the International Motorcycling Federation: the official speed is measured after a fast start, over 1 km out and 1 km back, in a space-time of less than 2 hours. MotoGP champion Max Biaggi on the Voxan Wattman. The Voxan Wattman record falls within the category of semi-faired electric motorcycles weighing less than 300 kilos. This type of fairing is assembled in such a way that it is as aerodynamic as possible, while the power delivery is adjusted to consume the maximum energy in the shortest time, and get the most out of its electric motor. However, it has been necessary to use dry ice as a coolant to avoid overheating when the motorcycle was at maximum power. Thus avoiding the occurrence of breakdowns or deterioration in some of the components. Despite everything, the Italian rider explained when he got off the bike that the folds of his protective suit were burning him due to the strong vibrations produced by speed. Another aspect that caught the attention of the people present was the peculiar sound expelled by the engine, similar to an airplane taking off. MotoGP champion Max Biaggi on the Voxan Wattman.

Record with four wheels The title of the fastest motorcycle in the world passes from one brand to another with amazing ease. Until very recently, the Dodge Tomahawk was branded as the fastest in history, although it could not be considered a typical two-wheeler since it was equipped with four high-traction tires. In addition, it was a beastly mole with a 20-valve Viper engine that propelled it with the equivalent of about 500 hp, reaching a speed of 536 km/h. Despite everything, its prohibitive price of more than 250,000 euros, weighed down sales that remained anecdotal as its own record. Another ten two-wheeled bullets The race to reach the top speed went through a turning point back in 1996 when Honda managed to break the 300 km/h barrier. It was with the CBR 1100 Blackbird, a mythical motorcycle that was joined in 1999 by the Suzuki GSX 1300R Hayabusa, whose nickname means 'peregrine falcon' in Japanese, and which ultimately was the seed of a good number of generations that always They have been among the fastest on the market. Of those considered as street mounts, the Kawasaki Ninja H2R has held first place for the longest time with its 400 km/h, followed by the MTT Turbine Superbike Y2K with 365 and the Lightning LS-218 with 348 km/h. H. Fourth place was occupied by another Kawa Ninja, the ZX-14R with 335, while in fifth position was the Ducati Panigale V4R with 331 km/h. Then, in a slipstream, the Aprilia RSV4 1,100 RR Factory with 316, the Suzuki GSK 1300R Hayabusa with 312, the BMW S 1,000 RR with 303, the Honda CBT 1000 RR Fireblade with 298 and the Yamaha YZF R1 with 298 km/h. Voxan Wattman has also broken another 30 albums, among which the following stand out: One mile, quick start, non-aerodynamic: 368 km/h Quarter mile, fast start, partially streamlined: 293 km/h Quarter mile, kick start, non-aerodynamic: 285 km/h One mile, standing start, partially streamlined: 273 km/h One mile, standing start, non-aerodynamic: 260 km/h One kilometer, standing start, partially streamlined: 223 km/h One kilometer, standing start, non-aerodynamic: 219 km/h Quarter mile, standing start, non-aero: 156 km/h Quarter mile, standing start, partially streamlined: 149 km/h Link: https://www.expansion.com/fueradeserie/motor/2022/05/17/627b7166e5fdea37068b459e.html

Chile's complaint to FIFA by Byron Castillo has caused Ecuador to move against time, and work under pressure to present its response and defense for the footballer's alleged adulterated documentation in the Qualifiers. For this task, the Ecuadorian Football Federation (FEF) hired a prestigious Spanish law firm, which currently works with the Brazilian Ronaldo and in the past advised figures such as the Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo and his representative Jorge Mendes. “Senn Ferrero (company name) has been working with the FEF for several years. Very probably they will be the ones who represent us now, "said Carlos Manzur, lawyer and vice president of Ecuafútbol, to El Mercurio, published by AS newspaper.

Martín Guzmán stressed the importance of investing in sectors that generated foreign exchange, employment and added value. File image of the Argentine Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán. The Argentine Minister of Economy, Martín Guzmán, questioned the current model of energy subsidies in the country, in a veiled allusion to the policies defended by the political space of Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, and in the midst of strong differences within the ruling party . In an interview broadcast this Monday by Urbana Play radio, Guzmán stressed the importance of investing in sectors that generate foreign currency, employment and added value, instead of "in things that do not end up helping the economy function," such as energy subsidies. that, not segmented, "favor the rich." "In what country in the world has it worked to have energy subsidies of three, four points of GDP? In what country in the world does it work that there are persistent deficits financed with a currency that people, due to inflation, are beginning to stop wanting?" asked the head of Economy, one of the ministers most questioned by Kirchnerism, the faction of Peronism led by Fernández de Kirchner, president between 2007 and 2015. The current vice president criticized the country's economic course last Friday, stating that "something or some are failing" if a low-wage production and export model has been chosen without resulting in an increase in dollar reserves. During the radio interview, Guzmán forcefully defended the path of economic policy, based on "firm, logical and sensible" principles and on a program with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that has the "firm commitment" of the Executive. Likewise, the official stressed that during the last term of Fernández de Kirchner there were "problems of macroeconomic consistency." "Something good was a deep and much-needed restructuring of the debt, but later we had a situation in which the external dynamics were not sustainable," said the Minister of Economy, who ironically acknowledged that he is "hit from all sides," in reference to the criticism of Kirchnerism and the opposition against his administration. division in government These statements come at a time of great tension in the Government, divided between those supported by the president, Alberto Fernández, and those related to the vice president. Last Friday, Fernández de Kirchner explained that the disagreements with the current president are not a "fight" or a "power dispute," but rather a "political debate" about the course of the country and the conditions imposed by the IMF. The official tension is such that the president himself, half an hour before the vice president's statements, asked in a speech in the southern province of Tierra del Fuego: "Please, let's look at the future, let no one separate us, let's work together. That is what we need", exclaimed Alberto Fernández. In this sense, Guzmán affirmed that the relevant "power disputes" for Argentina are those that achieve positive effects for the socioeconomic development of the country. “If the debate leads Argentina to build a common sense that allows it to get out of what we have lived for so long, which is a lot of instability in the course, and puts us in a more firm place to have a stable course of growth with social inclusion and productive dynamism, then welcome”, said the minister.

Animals sometimes pretend to be another to survive. It is called Batesian mimicry and, until now, no case of acoustic imitation by a mammal has been known, but that is the case of the mouse-eared bat, which knows how to imitate the buzzing of hornets. Mouse-eared bats mimic the buzz of hornets. A study published Monday by Current Biology describes this behavior observed in that bat, an evolutionary trick that allows the mimic to protect itself from possible predators and that, in the case of reproducing sounds, had only been observed in insects. Mouse-eared bats mimic the buzz of hornets, a stinging insect, to deter owls from eating them. A bat that has been captured, but not killed by the predator, if it is able to emit a buzz "could" fool it for a fraction of a second, long enough to flee, explained one of the study's authors, Danilo Russo, of the University of Studies of Naples Federico II (Italy). The expert carried out field work with bats when he realized that, in certain situations, they always buzzed like hornets. Among other tests, the team played those sounds to captive owls and barn owls to see their reaction and systematically back away. The researchers say the results conclude the first example of interspecific mimicry between mammals and insects, as well as one of the few examples of acoustic mimicry. The buzzes are even more similar when heard the way owls hear them, says Ruso, who doesn't have data to say that owls avoiding the sound is because they've been stung before, though it's a possibility. However, there is other evidence that birds avoid these potentially harmful insects. For example, when signs are installed in nest boxes or tree cavities, birds generally do not even explore them and do not nest there.
