The president of ANIF and the director of Fedesarrollo, from their shores, lay bare the Colombian economy in a key year, both economically and politically. They talk about the reforms that cannot be postponed for the next national administration and project what will be the path of expansion for the Colombian GDP. The directors of two of the main centers of economic thought, ANIF and Fedesarrollo, measure the pulse of the Colombian economy. In a virtual chat with Mauricio Santamaría, president of ANIF, and Luis Fernando Mejía, director of Fedesarrollo, the challenges that the country faces in terms of growth and how to face those challenges in a scenario of many choices were examined. How much will the economy grow in 2021? Mauricio Santamaría (MS): Let us remember that GDP grew 13.2% in the third quarter of 2021, a figure well above market expectations. In addition, the most recent results of the economy monitoring indicator (ISE) show that in November the added value of the economy grew 9.6% (compared to the same month of the previous year) and 9.9% so far this year. year until November. With these results, we expect the Colombian economy to achieve growth in a range of 9.7% and 10.1% for all of 2021. Luis Fernando Mejía (LFM): We believe that the Colombian economy will expand at a rate of 9.5% in 2021 with a probable scenario where the expansion is a little higher than that 9.5%. It is a fairly important recovery and it is growth that is well above the average for Latin America, which, according to the Monetary Fund, grew 6.8% the previous year. Discounting the rebound effect, what will be the real expansion of GDP in 2021? MS: To estimate growth without the base effect created by the very low results of the previous year, we use 2019 as a pre-pandemic reference. Thus, when we calculate the percentage change in GDP for 2021 compared to 2019, we have a clearer picture of growth . For example, if the GDP of the first nine months (January-September) of 2021 is compared with the same period of 2019, both the original series and the series adjusted for seasonal and calendar effects show that the economy has grown by 1.5 % On the other hand, if our growth forecast of 9.9% for 2021 is fulfilled, the growth compared to 2019 would be 2.4%, with which we will have exceeded pre-pandemic levels. LFM: Real expansion can basically be measured by discounting the size of the Colombian economy's GDP. That production of goods and services in 2021, compared to what it uses in the pre-pandemic, that is, in 2019. And based on a growth of 9.5%, this indicates that the size of the economy is 2% larger of what he used in 2019, so that could be like a measure of the real growth that we have had in the last two years. It does not sound high: however, I confirm that it is well above the recovery seen in Latin America, which on average was 6.5%. For this year what is expected in terms of growth? MS: With high probability and, in the absence of deep and long-lasting negative shocks, the economy will continue along the path of recovery that we have been observing, although at a slower pace. The speed of growth in 2021 was mainly marked by a base effect, product of the strong contraction of 6.8% in 2020. In the absence of favorable statistical base effects, the growth of the Colombian economy would be in a range of 4 % to 4.3% by 2022. We expect that growth to be driven by manufacturing, commerce, and social services. LFM: We estimate that the economy is going to expand at a rate of 4.6%, where the two sectors that are going to be leading this growth are going to be commerce, with a contribution of 1.1 points, and industry, with 0.7 percentage points; that is, 1.8 percentage points between trade and industry, which represent 39% of total economic growth. This indicates that this year we are going to have a more balanced growth with other sectors contributing. Link: https://www.elespectador.com/economia/luces-y-sombras-de-la-economia-colombiana/

Victory for animals in Ecuador: The Constitutional Court recognized animals as subjects of law, as they are part of nature The Constitutional Court recognized animals as subjects of law, as they are part of nature. Although he clarified that the rights of which they are holders cannot be equated to those recognized in favor of human beings. On Thursday, January 27, with seven votes in favor, one saved and one against, the judges of the Constitutional Court ruled that animals are subjects of rights protected by the rights of nature, guaranteed by article 71 of the Constitution. This occurred on a habeas corpus action filed in favor of a chorongo monkey called 'Estrellita'. "These principles imply that the characteristics, processes, life cycles, structures, functions, differentiating evolutionary processes of each species, as well as their interaction, must be observed," reads a statement. Once the issue was analyzed, the Constitutional Court ordered the Ministry of the Environment and the National Assembly, with the joint participation of the Ombudsman, to adapt their regulations to the standards of this ruling. The institutions will have two years to debate and approve a law that protects animals. "Especially, with regard to the seizure of animals, the minimum parameters that their caregivers must meet, and the express recognition of the rights and principles related to the protection of animals as subjects of rights." 'LITTLE STAR' CASE A chorongo monkey named 'Estrellita' had lived for 18 years in a human dwelling, a situation that was known by the public authorities and for which a procedure was initiated in order to grant custody of the wildlife specimen to an authorized Management Center. by the National Environmental Authority. there will already be, the habeas corpus that sought the wildlife possession license and the return of the chorongo monkey was denied on the grounds that the Environmental Authority needed to protect Nature and because when it was presented, the chorongo monkey had already died .

A barrel of Brent crude has become more than 18% more expensive so far this year The psychological barrier of 100 dollars a barrel of oil, not so long ago considered by some as a chimera typical of catastrophists, is now a stone's throw away. The barrel of Brent oil, a reference in Europe, was trading above 93 dollars this Friday, an increase of more than 18% since the beginning of 2022. Its price thus strengthens the maximums of more than seven years, and does not appear on the horizon Clear reasons to hold back: Asian demand remains strong, the omicron variant is not dampening activity as much as initially feared, and the conflict in Ukraine adds just the right touch of geopolitical instability to complete an explosive cocktail for crude developments. Furthermore, oil-producing countries show no signs of being uncomfortable with high prices. At its meeting this week, OPEC + did not move and kept its roadmap intact, which foresees a gradual increase in crude oil supply by 400,000 barrels per day by March 2022. The premises of some analysts, who argued that there were sufficient reserves to contain prices, and trusted that exporters would avoid excessively high tariffs because they would also be affected, are not being produced. Although others, such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan, have been betting on a barrel of oil at $100 for almost a year, something that is no longer unreasonable and has obvious economic consequences: energy dependence makes the rise a threat to the recovery in Europe and specifically in Spain, where gasoline prices this month have broken their historical record on the verge of 1.54 euros per liter. This implies that filling an average tank – 55 liters – is 17.1 euros more expensive today than a year ago. The impact has other derivatives. Inflation has become a headache for central banks in Europe and the US. After the ECB meeting this Thursday, its president, Christine Lagarde, acknowledged that there is "unanimous concern" about it, and the market is already speculating with interest rate rises this year, bad news for indebted countries such as Spain, which have been paying very low interest for years in exchange for financing on the markets. High prices also entail political wear and tear: the Spanish government was forced to lower electricity taxes to try to tackle discontent over its escalation, the pension bill - indexed to the CPI - has become more expensive. And in some cases, salary negotiations demand increases in line with the increase in the cost of living. In the US, the West Texas Intermediate (WTI) barrel has followed a similar path. It adds seven consecutive weeks to the rise. And it has its own tailwinds: A winter storm in Texas, the quintessential oil state, is fueling fears of supply disruptions. There is a growing feeling in the market that high prices are not going to disappear overnight. German bank Commerzbank has raised its oil price forecast for the first quarter to $90 a barrel, up from $80 in its previous forecast.

The domestication of cats is causing their skull and brain to become smaller and smaller. Over the last 10,000 years, cats and humans have developed a mutualistic relationship where through artificial selection, the former have gradually given up characteristics of their wild parents in exchange for a continual source of food and sustenance within human groups. Thanks to their ability to drive away rodents that approached the first grain and cereal deposits (as well as hunting insects and snakes), cats became po[CENSORED]r pets that spread from Africa and Asia to the rest of the world. However, after thousands of years and hundreds of generations whose reproduction has been partially managed by humans, not only have their behavior changed with respect to their ancestors, but also the size of their internal organs. A new study led by the University of Vienna and the National Museums of Scotland compared the skulls of contemporary domestic animals with other wild cat species, especially the bobcat (Felis silvestris) and the African wild cat (Felis silvestris lybica), considered the first subspecies of cat domesticated by the Egyptians. By comparing the size of their skulls, the research team found that the brains of domestic cats have experienced a significant decrease in size over the last 10,000 years. Also read: Dogs can identify between familiar and foreign human languages, reveals a study According to the authors, the result is consistent with several previous studies showing that the brain size of contemporary dogs, sheep and rabbits has decreased compared to their non-domesticated ancestors. Previous research suggests that one of the possible reasons for the decrease in brain size is due to a decrease in neural crest cells, responsible for processing and responding to threats. According to this hypothesis, based on the relationship that cats have established with humans for about 10,000 years, both they and the rest of domestic animals (especially dogs) face fewer threats in their daily lives, developing most of time in human-controlled environments. And although previous research confirmed that artificial selection had also been responsible for modifying the cat's snout and making it smaller, the researchers compared the size of the palate in domestic cats and their wild ancestors without obtaining significant differences between the two.

The creation of Kawasaki is a novelty and, at the same time, it is the perfect synthesis of the motorcycle of all life. The Kawasaki Z 650 RS brings together the three basic qualities of a motorcycle, as it is fun, useful and attractive. You can get on a motorcycle from many years ago or a new one, of one type or another, with one need or another on your part, but in all cases there is a link: a handlebar, an engine and two wheels. This combination is there for what you prefer, but always under some premise that will make you opt for a specific option. And among these, the fundamental ones are that it makes you happier at its controls, that it solves a need in your day to day life or, of course, that you feel an irresistible attraction to its image. The difficult thing is to find a model that adapts 100% to all these requirements. And this is where the new neo-retro option of the capital K brand dazzles. The Kawasaki Z 650 RS exposes an eternal approach combining such a compendium of proposals that makes us rediscover the most authentic meaning of the motorcycle for all lovers of this world. As it does? Intermingling heart and reason in equal parts. Heart for its Vintage vision by recalling a milestone of "green" motorcycles such as the Z 650 of the 70s (specifically, the 1977 B1 version), but also for the sensations offered by the balance of a technical proposal that is committed to the agility and response of an engine that is always attentive to your driving style. And because it is as suitable for those who start riding a medium-capacity motorcycle with the recently released A2 license as for those who want a useful motorcycle in all uses with the A license, as practical in the city as when commuting. any route, comfortable, accessible and as valid as you propose. This proposal is new to Kawasaki. Its RS surname fits into the same segment as its sister Kawasaki Z 900 RS, but compared to this, it is valid for A2 card users by installing a limitation kit. In addition, its designers have taken special care in combining its lines with those of the models of the past and have achieved a set with even more retro appeal, but without reaching the classic extremes of the W 800 series as it is located in a time space most present today. Although there are already 44 years that separate the new Kawasaki Z 650 RS from its original Z 650 reference. This is called "old school". The Kawasaki Z 650 RS also arrives to complete one of the most diverse series on the current scene among medium displacements. Together with the naked Z 650 from which it derives directly, the sporty Ninja 650, the trail Versys 650 and the custom Vulcan S, they represent a very unusual lineup in the catalog of other brands on the market today. All of them exhibit their own personality, but in case you identify with the philosophy of the most timeless biker, biker or "motard", the Kawasaki Z 650 RS is the perfect choice. As is the norm in the brand, the Kawasaki Z 650 RS is marketed with different prices depending on its decoration and finishes. In this case, only their colors are distinguished, since no versions are offered. In black its price is €8,399 and in the legendary green that you see in the photos or in the gray/ebony combination for €8,550. In both cases, until December 31, 2021, free third-party insurance is included (which represents a saving of around €243) and, if you finance it, four years of free official warranty (which is equivalent to €242). This financing program called "K-fácil" offers you installments of up to €82.46/month in 35 monthly instalments, with an entry of €2,519.70 and a final of €3,791.97 (APR: 5.63% and NIR : 3.99%). When it comes to finding rival twins for the Kawasaki Z 650 RS, we have to do it among the models that have specific historical roots. With these principles, the closest references are the Moto Guzzi V7 series, the BMW R NineT Pure and the Triumph Bonneville T100 and Royal Enfield 650 ranges. The Italians propose the exclusivity of their V-Twin engine with the cylinders in a transverse position to the direction of the march, a scheme similar to the only BMW boxer, while the British have managed to become an icon of Heritage lovers with the most extensive range among all current brands. In all three cases, the displacements of these rivals (744 cc, 1,170 cc and 900 cc, respectively) far exceed the Kawasaki Z 650 RS, as well as their prices, from €11,300 for the English one and from €9,399 for the Italian or €13,190 of the only R NineT valid for the A2 card. As for the Royal Enfield 650, they are cheaper (from €6,789), but their power is lower (they are restricted to the A2 license) and their weight is higher. Of course, the list of Vintage-style models on the market is more extensive, but in all cases as free interpretations of the retro concept. Yamaha versions such as the XSR 700 (from €7,899), from Triumph itself such as the Street Twin (€9,450), the extensive Scrambler Ducati 800 series (from €9,099) or the new Macbor Eight Mille 500 (from €6,290) fit here. ) ). More “neo” than “retro” interpretations can be found in the Brixton Crossfire (from €5,999) and CF Moto 700 CL-X (€7,195). Never before has the Vintage segment been so prolific. HOW IS THE KAWASAKI Z 650 RS The starting base of the new Kawasaki Z 650 RS is the naked Kawasaki Z 650. From it it takes the tubular steel chassis (13.5 kg in weight) that premiered the iconic H2 in the Japanese catalog and that has been progressively adopted by multitude of latest generation models of very different concepts in the brand. In its cycle part, the fork maintains the conventional structure with uncontrolled 41 mm bars (an inverted one would have been sacrilege), accompanied by a shock absorber (this time sacrilegious, but the evolution of time requires it) in an almost vertical position " Back link” adjustable in preload. In the brakes, it changes the wavy profile discs for traditional ones, while the design of the accent rims stands out, recalling the spokes of yesteryear. Only in the green version are they decorated in gold, being black with red trim in the gray version and totally black in the base option. The engine is the same inline-twin with DOHC four-valve-per-cylinder fuel-injected heads with 36mm bodies and dual throttles. In both cases, the lost torque and power records are identical: 68 hp of maximum power at 8,000 rpm and 64 Nm at 6,700 rpm of maximum torque. The tires also maintain their measurements on the retro and the naked, with a 120/70-17 front and a 160/60-17 rear. In its measurements we do find differences, with a distance 5 mm longer in the Z 650 RS (1.41 mm), 10 mm more in total length (2,065 mm), 35 mm more in width (800 mm) and 50 mm more Tall . These figures identify the profile of the classic compared to the modern and sporty naked. In addition, the height of the seat increases by 30 mm and the tank accommodates 3 liters less capacity in the Z 650 RS, keeping the total weight at 187 kg. Both the seat and the tank come with 100% classic lines compared to the avant-garde of the Sugomi school present in the Z 650.

From the well-known “nenis” in Mexico, to more solid and consolidated platforms globally, they have a place in the collaborative economy. Digital tools have achieved a whole series of changes that have disrupted various activities and sectors, including the economy. The new practices and technological uses propose new economic practices that adjust to the needs of an environment that increasingly facilitates communication, such as the collaborative economy. Driven by digital technology, the economy or collaborative consumption was born. It is a new economic model based on communication and trust between the consumer and the supplier to make purchases electronically. It is a practice that benefits both parties, in addition to having a beneficial and responsible impact on the environment. According to the Hungarian economist, Georgina Görog, this practice has changed the patterns of consumption and entrepreneurship in industries such as: sightseeing transport education Work market In this way, within this spectrum, different platforms and applications have revolutionized the way in which various markets behave, forcing them to create new strategies to adapt to current needs. From the well-known “nenis” in Mexico, to more solid platforms at a global level, they have a place in this type of collaborative economic nature. Therefore, from the sale on social networks, to the consumption and exercise of services through applications such as: Uber, Airbnb, Rappi, Monific, among others, they could prefer part of this model. What advantages does the collaborative economy offer? Despite the fact that there are disadvantages, mainly when it is considered as a subsistence system, the benefits it offers are quite attractive: Increase in options to acquire or consume a product or service More affordable prices New and innovative experiences Sustainability and care for the environment Promotes entrepreneurship Tools to generate extra income Aspects to consider The economy and collaborative consumption are not always about the exchange of goods or material things, knowledge practices and finances can also be found. Since the parties determine the conditions and so on, we can talk about four types of collaborative economy: Collaborative consumption: exchange of goods and services collaborative production Collaborative finance: credit systems in which crowdfunding is inserted Open knowledge: non-profit dissemination of knowledge Link: https://www.liderempresarial.com/economia-colaborativa-la-practica-que-revoluciona-los-mercados/

The 80s saw how mythical Spanish brands disappeared and, at the same time, others such as the Japanese ones arrived. A time when those who are now around 50 were hooked on the motorcycle and these were their dark objects of desire. Bultaco and Ossa close; Sanglas becomes Yamaha, along with the remains of Mototrans (Ducati, in Spain) and Montesa in Honda. Puch will hold out a little longer and Derbi, Rieju and MotorHispania survive. But the then desired Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, KTM and other brands arrive They are "my years"; These are the years when I started riding a motorcycle and dreamed of changing my '81 Cobra TT for something faster and more powerful. And we began to see motorcycles like the RD 350, KTM cross and enduro, or even in magazines, because here it still didn't come, prodigies on two wheels such as the Honda CX 500 Turbo or Suzuki RG 500 Gamma. But there were also national motorcycles; with a bad reputation, yes, and not deserved by themselves. Bikes like the Bultaco Streaker, Ossa Copa or Rieju MR80 could have done a little better if they had worked on the market. But of course; After years of sighing for the motorcycles that did not arrive here, everyone wanted to try these novelties, and not one more of the usual brands. We would have to wait for the closure of these factories and the disappearance of these motorcycles for time to do justice to them and now they are more valued and sought after motorcycles, in many cases, than their Japanese contemporaries. Acknowledge it; in 1983 you yearned for a "Hurry" (nickname that, at least in my area, was given to the MBX 75 Hurricane) and you looked down on the Streaker, but today you would yearn to have one of those very expensive and highly sought after Bultaco, while You'd pay the same for the Honda. These are our years, those of us who are between 40 and 50. And between dreams in which you saw yourself fighting corner by corner with Spencer, Lawson or Mamola at Jarama, Paul Ricard or Laguna Seca, you also dreamed of getting to the concerts of Meccano, AC/DC or Sinister Fully assembled on a Le Mans III. And on the most “realistic” days, let's see if you could at least get a more modest Puch Cóndor or a not so modest Gilera KZ125. 1. Bultaco Streaker Bultaco, it must be recognized, was not always right with his motorcycles. Especially aesthetically speaking. A Mercurio 175GT was no beauty, for example, but they were always good bikes. And fast. The last one that came out of its chains, speaking of road bikes, was not like that. She was fast, sporty and beautiful. In fact, it was the one that put such important names in our motorcycling history on the circuits, such as Jorge Martínez “Aspar”, Sito Pons or Joan Garriga: all of them went through the “Streaker Cup”. An original and lightweight multitubular chassis, the latest evolution of Bultaco's small block, in 75 and 125 displacements, with disc brakes and suspension, if not the latest, then effective. Fast and light motorcycles that must have been one of the legs of the relaunch of Bultaco, in the final years of the brand. In fact, there were two versions; the famous "black and white", each with their "fans" to this day. The "black" is presented in 77. The project was late; It had to replace the old previous Junior, but it was intended that it already mount the first engine of the MK15 series. It could not be and it was presented with the "usual" engine, suitably adjusted. The white, two years later, was modified in some aspects such as the tail and, more importantly, it presented new features in the engine; It was still not the MK15, of which there was only a prototype in the Streaker version, but the crankcase cover on the clutch side has already changed, since under it the primary chain transmission gave way to a more modern gear transmission. He didn't give much time to dream about it: the Honda Hurricane, Yamaha TZR and others were knocking at the door. But if you can still dream of how this bike would have evolved, if Bultaco had survived: Mk15 wet engine, suspension with linkages€ 2. Rieju MR80 Late 1970s and early 1980s. The market for 75cc off-road motorcycles is truly important, in numerical terms, in Spain. These are the years in which the “Baby Boom” generation is around 16 years old; With the A1 in the pocket and the dirt bike being the main “business” of national brands, it is logical that many brands deal with this segment. Puch, with the Cobra, presents the M82 chassis; They use the same engine developed in the mid-1970s, starting with an Austrian 50cc engine. Cantilever and advanced aesthetics and more "motorcyclist" than the previous Cobra MC 75 and TT dazzle many. But if you really want "horses", you have to opt for the Cobra Replica Monjonell, M82 TT or Santiago Blanco, X3 and X4 preparations. Montesa and Bultaco do not seem to “know”: their engines are outdated and far from the performance of the Puch. Derby does it better; C6 works well and is a good base for preparations. And Rieju "embroiders it". The Marathon, presented at the end of the 70s, mounts the Minarelli Motor. It is the same mechanical base that mounts many Italian motorcycles with which many of us really dreamed, authentic «forbidden fruit» still- They are the Ancillotti, Acossato€ motorcycles that exceeded 16/18 CV of power (when a «normal» Cobra gave 11 and a 75H6 was close to 10), monoshock suspension, nightclubs, water, etc. But of course, in Spain the 80cc cylinders of those cannot be assembled, because the current legislation limits the cylinder capacity to 75cc. The Marathon evolves and becomes the MR80. This, in competition, does use those Italian engines that are already around 20 hp. In 1984 the white MR80 is almost the Girona reincarnation of the Accossato 80 enduro and has little to envy these leading Italians. It is still 75cc in its commercial version, but access to special, truly cutting-edge versions has already arrived. They were very special motorcycles, which competed on the national scene with the latest versions of Cobra, whose engine was already close to 19 CV, in the water version, tightened like "the nuts of a submarine". But the Rieju, with its Minarelli MR engine, is technically two steps ahead of those latest Cobras. A dream come true for many and the bike that culminated the history of the 75cc national enduro. 3. Honda MBX The 1980s were the years of the demise of many of the national brands. But for those of us who lived through them then glued to the pages of motorcycle magazines, they are years of hope: the previous protectionism forbade us to enjoy the eu made outside and, despite the fact that today we look at those brands with longing, It is true that many were “up to their noses” with these brands and with not being able to ride a “modern” motorcycle. Honda takes control of Montesa in 1983. They continue to manufacture the Cotas, now under the name MH (and by the way, I don't know if you agree, but for me, with the ugliest decoration in the history of the Cotas) , the 360H7 of the latest series, as a cheap option for a dirt bike and they start making "real" Honda bikes. One of the first is this MBX 80, baptized as "Hurricane". Nothing to do with the above. A motorcycle with the appearance of a large motorcycle, original "Comstar" double-spoke rims, front fairing, water cooling, Pro-Link rear suspension, front disc brakes and 12Cv for 94 kilos€ when a Streaker or a Crono 75 were below €9 is an "almost" current motorcycle, compared to motorcycles whose technology had remained in the 60s. And of course, like those, the MBX also serves as a "launching ramp" for some riders who will go far: there was a kid who did not It was not bad with one of these at the Criterium€a certain Álex Crivillé€for example. The MBX will be the first of a saga, which will continue with the NSR 75, which years later will also "shrink" to 50cc. It is also the first of a good list of rivals such as the TZR 80 or, within the national production, a few years later, the Derbi GPR.
