DH1, good song!

Happy Birthday!

The lack of containers and raw materials make the two production chains that generate more jobs and income more expensive Ecuador lives by selling bananas and shrimp to the world, but with the global logistics crisis a key link in the production chain has been released. The lack of containers interferes in the production and export process of the two economic pillars of the country, which move more than 6,000 million dollars a year and generates 770,000 direct and indirect jobs. Due to the international traffic jam in maritime transport, the arrival of necessary raw materials such as plastic, cardboard or fertilizers has been delayed, costs have risen, profits have been reduced and trade flows have slowed. But still no one dares to give an approximate figure of the damage in dollars. "If we continue like this, next year will be tremendously complicated," predicts Alfredo Hoyos, former president of the Ecuadorian Association of Plastics. "Only a miracle could bring down the prices of raw materials and normalize the entire chain," diagnoses the representative of one of the core unions for the other productive branches of the country. Plastic, Hoyos recalls, is used in everything that is exported: bananas, shrimp, cocoa, flowers, coffee or fish. By looking for the price of polyethylenes skyrocketing, everything else becomes more expensive. And consequently, he points out, Ecuadorian products are less competitive in the international market. Bananas transfer the logistical brake to their annual export figures, which have fallen both in volume and value. From January to September —the date of the last cut by the Central Bank of Ecuador— sales have fallen 5.5% in tons and 9.1% in dollars compared to the same period last year. In nine months, 5,253 tons of the fruit have left the ports and 2,598 million dollars have entered the economy from the banana sector, which generates 500,000 jobs. On the other hand, shrimp, which is the first export product and source of work for 270,000 people, has not yet had negative figures. Despite being also a victim of the brake in world trade flow, it has placed 19.9% more in volume and 32.3% more in dollars, because it has harvested a good year in terms of production since it is an item with a higher price that absorbs the price hike in logistics. A container that left Shanghai and docked in Guayaquil was chartered for 1,200 dollars a year ago. Today, it's $ 18,000. And, according to what the director of the plastics union predicts, that price escalation will extend to 2022 until, at least, the third quarter. The same X-ray conditions the decisions of the cardboard companies of Ecuador. "2022 is going to be a very complicated year for exporters due to a possible shortage of cardboard boxes," warns Andrés Jiménez, general manager of Papelera Nacional. A scenario aggravated by "significant increases in the cost of cardboard boxes and difficulties in finding spaces in shipping companies in addition to high transportation costs." This year, the country has paid 2,100 million dollars more (47% more) in the import of 26% more raw materials. The paper was paid a year and a half ago at 500 dollars for each ton, according to Jiménez, while now it comes out at more than 1,200 dollars for the same amount of imported material. "The worst of all is that no matter how much we are willing to pay, we do not get the necessary volume or the ships to bring it," laments the businessman. Today there are 55,000 metric tons less paper to make boxes, inventories are low and "that complicates the production of cardboard in times when more boxes are required." December is the high season for bananas and it is followed by the flower season, for Valentine's Day, which is in the five main export items of Ecuador. "And not to mention shrimp exports that have also grown in volume compared to previous years," concludes the manager of Papelera Nacional. Without plastic, without cardboard and also without fertilizers, or paying much more than normal for these raw materials, Ecuador's production chains must give up part of their profitability in order not to lose competitiveness in the market. The plastics sector, which employs 120,000 people, has absorbed up to 25% of the increase in the cost of polyethylenes with which they manufacture covers and wrappings for all kinds of products. But Hoyos talks about 80% more of the variable cost in imported material. “The entire chain is damaged. Who absorbs the price increase? All, and that pushes to dismiss employees ”, finishes the business leader.

scientists believe their species can still be saved The vaquitas are very close to disappearing. Of the 600 specimens that were calculated in 1997, only ten of these animals are alive in the Gulf of California (Mexico), the only place where one of these endangered animals can still be seen. The reason for their disappearance is nothing more and nothing less than illegal fishing, an action that is gradually destroying the world's biodiversity and that is a complex issue from a political point of view. The Mexican government issued an order prohibiting gillnets in much of the Gulf of California itself, but this regulation is not enforced, far from it. Fishermen go out to sea every day with illegal fishing methods and nets, which causes these cetaceans to become extinct, something that experts in marine mammals see as a solution if this practice can be stopped. "They are becoming extinct due to human activities, although it could be avoided," said Jorge Urbán Ramírez, a biologist at the Autonomous University of Baja California Sur.

The conference, attracting hundreds of people from the mining and oil sector, has become the springboard for tourism recovery. Quito maintains its commitment to convention tourism with the celebration starting this Wednesday of a new face-to-face event, the Expominas and Expo Oil and Power, in an attempt to recover one of its main tourist vectors. The international conference, which is held at the Metropolitan Convention Center and attracts hundreds of people from the mining and oil sector, has become the springboard for tourism recovery, after a pandemic that hit this industry in an unusual way. "Unfortunately in 2020 everything was canceled or postponed, or it was done in a hybrid way (face-to-face and virtual)", described to Efe Lourdes Robalino, commercial manager of the Hilton Colón hotel in Quito, who nevertheless sees this year signs of a recovery that he believes that will be consolidated around 2022 and 2023. A recovery that takes time to come because these are events that require "two to three years, even more" of organization "to later reap very good fruits," he said. ONE OF THE MOST PROFITABLE SECTORS The Expominas and Expo Oil and Power, which focuses on one of the most developed sectors in the Andean country in recent years, is the first private event with this scope of national and international participation, since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. Last week the "Open for Business Ecuador" was also held with a thousand people, but in this case called by the national government. Until the pandemic, Meeting, Incentive, Conference and Event Tourism (MICE) was the fastest growing tourism in the last decade worldwide, and experts considered it one of the most profitable . For everything that surrounds it, from hotels to "souvenirs", passing through food, transport or excursions, "it carries a very strong economic issue", Robalino described, remembering that the proportion of spending between a normal tourist and one of conventions is of "1 to 3". "We have bet on this segment, and the city of Quito is going that way," he said. Quito hosted 42 events of this type in 2019, with approximately 12,100 participants and a patent income of approximately 7.3 million dollars, year in which it also began a process of targeting this industry that it left at FITUR 2020. "It has spectacular means: very good connectivity, an excellent hotel and gastronomic offer, not to mention it. It's ideal, it has everything!", Sandra Rodríguez, executive director of the event organizer Saro Meeting Design / Discovering, highlighted. Americas. In his opinion, the reopening of the Metropolitan Convention Center will contribute to this recovery, where until October a temporary hospital for patients with covid-19 operated, as well as the new policy of the municipality to give a strong boost to the sector. 90.00 SQUARE METERS FOR CONVENTIONS With more than 90,000 square meters of spaces for events, the city seeks to imitate other capitals of the world that have built their tourism strategies on the basis of MICE tourism, such as New York, Barcelona or Buenos Aires. "Currently it is difficult to talk about projections. However, the economic reactivation is becoming stronger and the events begin to develop in a face-to-face and hybrid format, hoping that the segment will have an upswing in mid-2022 or by 2023", ratified Irene Guijarro, director of MICE in the public company Quito Turismo. During 2021, the city captured fourteen international and seven national conventions for the next few years, already in person since restrictions have been lifted from many countries and the covid-19 has remitted in the country. This is shown by the last two events, "Open for Business" and "Expominas and Expo Oil and Power", in which public and private efforts converge to awaken the sector and "apply for international congresses for the next few years". Also the preparatory efforts that were made between 2019 and 2020 with the MICE Alliance of South America, which seeks "a joint alliance between countries in the region to apply for larger events," according to Guijarro. Another strategy has been the recent entry into the Hybrid City Alliance (HCA), a new group that will promote Quito to carry out hybrid events at the international level, and the participation of the Municipality in specialized events of the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA )) and at FIEXPO, one of the main fairs in this industry.

By referring to this question we are attributing culturally acquired human feelings to them, so it is very difficult to find an answer from a scientific point of view Love is a mystery. The famous 'butterflies in the stomach make' that we feel and that we are so happy and at the same time, in case it is not reciprocal or there are problems, so unfortunate, they can only be explained through works of art or poems that exalt the emotion of be in love. Hence, it is so difficult for science to be able to objectively explain why we feel that spiritual connection with someone, that need for physical closeness or that circular thought that always leads us to think of that person. Therefore, when faced with the question of whether animals can also fall in love, it refers us to what we understand by love, whether it is quantifiable or observable in the physical world of bodies. There are currents of biology that see a danger for the scientific study of animals the fact of assigning them human traits and meanings that are not there. But there is no other way to do it: wondering about love in animals involves establishing a solid foundation on what science understands and defines by love in human beings. Romantic love and companion love This is what Bianca Acevedo, a psychologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, believes in an article published in the magazine 'Discover'. What is love? We, as animals, what do we feel when we are in love? "A widely accepted perspective is that there are two types: one passionate, romantic in nature, and then another for companionship, such as the one we may feel for a family member or friend. The romantic, on the other hand, is the intense desire to bond with another person, and not only refers to a physical union, but also emotional or cognitive, "he explains. In the animal kingdom, as in the human, the different specimens are allied to survive and live together. And sometimes it seems that they really feel a very close bond between them, in the same way that we do with our children, parents or friends. Hence, elephants have been recorded that seem to watch and mourn their dead or of mothers of the monkey species who carry the corpse of their children long after they have died. These examples are a sample that they may indeed have emotional ties with their peers and that they are not very different from the one we feel and enter into company love. But there are examples that can also suggest that animals can come to feel romantic love. Claudia Vinke, a biologist specializing in animal behavior at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, admits that there are pairs of albatrosses that stay together for more than 60 years. "All year round they fly over the oceans and then once a year they go to an island, see each other, greet each other and perform rituals that seem loving. If you witness them, it is easy to suspect that there is a stronger bond between them. ". Obviously, monogamy has been observed in all kinds of animals, from birds to insects. There is no clear pattern to identify which species are more prone to monogamy and values are not, but it is generally related to the way in which those species reproduce. Also with the rearing they carry out of their offspring: if it takes longer, it is natural that the parents have to stay together for a longer time. This is one of the main conclusions of scientists about monogamy in the animal kingdom: shared breeding is better than alone. However, there are other cases where it is more difficult to explain why so much loyalty and commitment is due. "As a general rule, the typical reproductive system of mammals is that a male will end up mating with several females," says Alexander Ophir, a neuroscientist and professor of psychology at Cornell University. "Some female mammals, such as big cats, can have multiple parents for the same litter of cubs." Hence, the expert indicates that the pattern of "falling in love" is quite uncommon among mammals, we being an exception that is explained by culture. "We are socially monogamous because of our culture," concludes the expert. Can love be measured? The abstract and intangible feeling of love is a barrier when it comes to studying the factors that make us crazy about someone. Psychologists usually do tests in which the subjects with the intensity of their emotions according to different situations or people. Acevedo is one of the scientists who has tried the most to unravel the mental and emotional mechanisms that lead to feeling that obsession with another individual, such as measuring blood flow within the brain when people have images of their partner in front of them or think about experiences they have had with them. Specifically, when someone we love romantically very much comes to mind, the amygdala area, the emotional center of the brain, is activated, as well as areas associated with memory or intense concentration. There are also chemical signs that give away the romantic feeling. How? Obviously, from the quantification of oxytocin levels in the body, the one known as the "love drug", although it is not entirely reliable, as Ophir warns. "This hormone is generated when the brain's reward circuit is activated, that is, when we do things that make us feel good," he explains. "That chemical prick can eventually condition our behavior", which results in a greater propensity for monogamy by "not feeling good only when you mate, but also when you do it with a single individual." Something that is possible that it also occurs in animals, since it is true that similar physiological reactions occur, but it is impossible to be sure that they are correlated with loving feelings. Basically, because as in humans, it is from every point of view unprovable how much or how little something excites you, since it is part of a subjective experience that no external mind can enter. We can ask each other, talk about it, get an idea, but at no time can we experience an emotion for someone, which makes scientific research around love always stuck in a series of barriers and limits.

VMoto Soco Group has just presented the first model of its premium cut firm. It is the VMoto Stash, an electric motorcycle with sports dyes equivalent to 125 that will hit the markets in 2022. As the brand itself announced days ago, on the occasion of the EICMA held in Milan these days, the Vmoto Stash has just been presented, the first electric motorcycle of the new premium cut firm of Vmoto Soco Group. Due to the numbers that its technical scheme and benefits show, it is a model that in Spain and other countries of the European legal framework will be considered as equivalent to 125. A fact that has taken a certain part of the public by surprise as it was expected that Vmoto will guide the Stash to compete with brands such as Zero Motorcycles or Energica. Another brand that has also surprised at the EICMA has been NIU with the RQi Sport, a model that will undoubtedly compete face to face with the Stash. Not only has the brand been surprised by the technical characteristics of the Stash, but also because they have decided to articulate it around a sporty concept without wanting to neglect practicality. Proof of this is that its driving position is designed to be ergonomic and comfortable in urban areas, in addition to having a space for a full face helmet under the false tank. Based on its image, practical attributes and sporting pretensions, then, it can be said that the new VMoto Stash is a sports commuter. So by concept and in the absence of knowing its price, it could be a direct rival of the Zero FXE in an affordable key. Although it will be clearly oriented to a performance in the cities, the new Stash stands out from the proportions and measures of the Super Soco models, which from now on will remain as the economic or generalist firm of the group. The Stash measures 2,020 millimeters long, 780 wide and 1,125 high, while the saddle leaves its height at 785 millimeters above the ground. It relies on 17-inch wheels wrapped in 100- and 120-millimeter-wide tires on the front and rear axles, respectively. In terms of braking, it will have the CBS anti-lock braking system (instead of ABS), while the suspension is in the hands of a front telescopic fork and a hydraulic shock absorber at the rear. The total weight including batteries is 110 kilos. The electrical scheme of the VMoto Stash and the performance data that it leaves behind place it as one of the most promising models for 2022, although it continues to rely on a bushing-type electric motor that favors both space with in the frame structure. the bike as cost savings, instead of a central electric motor and chain or belt transmission as equipped with the Super Soco TC Max. The VMoto Stash's electric motor will deliver a nominal power of 6 kW and 110 Nm of torque, which will drive it at a maximum speed of 105 kilometers per hour for its performance in urban areas and punctual entrances to the highway. The propellant will be powered by battery cells that are manufactured by ATL. The capacity of this one stands out from all urban motorcycles, since it reaches 7.2 kWh total (72 V and 100 Ah), so it is not surprising that autonomy with a full charge can reach up to 250 kilometers, as the brand has announced (a constant speed of 45 kilometers per hour, yes). As they have announced at the EICMA, the VMoto Stash is conceived to satisfy the incipient demand for electric motorcycles with more autonomy and of better quality both in Europe and in the United States, and they announce that the arrival on the streets of these markets will be produced in 2022.

Welcome!

See how much Colombia would stop receiving if it left oil extraction as proposed by Gustavo Petro. In an interview with EL TIEMPO, the presidential candidate Gustavo Petro proposed that Colombia abandon oil extraction, a situation that could lead to the country's economy contracting 3.3 percent. (Criticism of Petro for the idea of stopping oil exploration in the country). In addition, several departments, which derive a large part of their income from this activity, would be in serious trouble. Only for 2022 the Nation expects revenues of 7.5 trillion pesos from oil extraction, according to the Medium-Term Fiscal Framework (MFMP), but with current crude prices, which are around 80 dollars per barrel in international markets, and the dollar, these revenues could increase up to 500,000 million, according to calculations by some experts. In Colombia, hydrocarbons contribute 3.3 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP), while oil represents 40 percent of what Colombia sells to the world. (Crude: finds add 102 million barrels in reserves). Although there is consensus that the country must advance in a transition towards the use of cleaner energies, cutting off the contracting of oil exploration, as proposed by the candidate Petro, generated various comments about the economic and legal implications for the country, among others, of said proposal. In addition to the economic implications for the Nation, the effects at the regional level are enormous, insofar as minerals have a great weight in the GDP of various departments of the country, where oil production plays a large role. For example, 47.25 percent of Meta's GDP depends on minerals, including oil. But it is not the only one, in Casanare that contribution reaches 42.44 percent; in Arauca. 37.85 percent; in Putumayo. 23.41 percent; in Huila, 6.05 percent; and in Santander, 3.62 percent, according to figures from the National Administrative Department of Statistics (Dane). During the closing of the IV Oil and Gas Summit, Socio-economic reactivation: a national commitment, last week, President Iván Duque highlighted the contributions of the hydrocarbon sector to the development of the country, and its importance in exports, tax revenues, royalties , among other contributions that have served to leverage social and environmental investment programs in Colombia. (What are the 32 areas that Colombia has for oil development). He indicated that: “The world cannot continue to fall into absurd demonizations, derived from disinformation, when it comes to addressing sectors that affect economic activity and the social transformation of our countries; this sector generates well-being and is not an enemy of development ”, he insisted.

Octopuses, crabs and lobsters are capable of experiencing pain or suffering, according to a study commissioned by the UK government, which has added these creatures to a list of sentient beings that must be protected by new welfare laws. animal. The report, prepared by experts from the London School of Economics, analyzed 300 scientific studies to evaluate the ability to feel, and concluded that cephalopods (such as octopus, squid and cuttlefish) and decapods (such as crabs, lobsters and prawns) must be treated as beings who feel. Vertebrates, animals with backbones, are already classified in this category in the new animal welfare legislation that is being debated in the UK. "The Animal Welfare Sensitivity Bill provides a crucial assurance that animal welfare is properly considered when developing new laws. Science now clearly knows that decapods and cephalopods can feel pain and therefore It is only fair that they are covered by this vital piece of legislation, "Animal Welfare Minister Zac Goldsmith said in a statement. The bill, which is not yet passed legislation, will create a committee on animal sentiment, which will issue reports on the extent to which government decisions have taken into account the welfare of the animals they feel. It is part of a larger government action plan for animal welfare. The report says that lobsters and crabs should not be boiled alive and includes best practices for the transport, stunning and slaughter of decapods and cephalopods. The report used eight different ways to measure the ability to feel, such as learning ability, possession of pain receptors, connections between pain receptors and certain brain regions, response to anesthetics or pain relievers, and behaviors, such as the balance between threat and opportunity for reward and protection against injury or threats. He found "very strong" evidence for feeling in octopods and "strong" in most crabs. For other animals in these two groups, such as squid, cuttlefish, and lobsters, the evidence was substantial but not strong. However, the report notes that these different degrees of evidence reflect disparities in the amount of attention that different animals have received from scientists. "Scientific attention has gravitated to some (animals) rather than others for reasons of practical convenience (eg, which animals can be well kept in laboratories) and geographic (eg, what species are available where a laboratory is located). Due to this situation, we thought it would be inappropriate to limit protection to specific orders of cephalopods or decapods, "the report says.

The XTurismo is a large single-seater vehicle that promises to reach 100 km / h and costs, in exchange, about 600,000 euros. The future of the automotive industry seems to be, in part, up in the air. More and more brands and companies are developing flying cars or air taxis, but there are also those who seek to give this approach to two wheels (metaphorical, in this case). The XTurismo is the first flying motorcycle that can be bought, although its price is quite high: 77.7 million yen, which at the current exchange rate is about 600,000 euros. It has been developed by A.L.I. Technologies, a Japanese startup that has the backing of big-name firms like Kyocera and Mitsubishi. Its format follows the lines established with aerial cars, opting for a drone-style configuration. The main body, which looks more like a jet ski than a road one, has powerful rotors at its four ends to move and make vertical takeoffs and landings. In addition, it has two skates with which to lean on the ground It is a vehicle of considerable size, if one takes into account that it is a motorcycle: 3.7 meters in length, 2.4 meters in width and 1.5 meters in height. Despite the size, there is only room for one person and this person cannot weigh more than 100 kilos. Although no technical data has been provided, such as the power or the capacity of its batteries (it is electric), it has been confirmed that it has a range of 40 minutes and that it reaches a maximum speed of up to 100 km / h. A.L.I. Technologies has presented the model at the Fuji circuit, where it demonstrated its capabilities, apparently with rather reduced mobility and agility. The XTurismo can already be purchased and deliveries will begin during the first half of 2022, but its buyers will have the problem that today practically nowhere in the world there is legislation to operate this type of aeronautics, at least in public spaces. It is not the first attempt to create a flying motorcycle. Months ago, The Speeder was unveiled, a model that promises a range of up to 30 minutes, 240 km / h peak and 4,500 meters of altitude; but at the moment it is a project and has not been translated into a production model.

Duque will be received by Lasso at the Carondelet Palace. Colombian President Iván Duque will make a lightning visit to Ecuador on Sunday to meet with his counterpart Guillermo Lasso, official sources reported this Friday. The visit, which is official, responds to an invitation from Lasso to Duque, with whom he maintains a close personal relationship and ideological affinity. The Colombian president will arrive in Quito on Sunday morning and will stay for about eight hours in the Ecuadorian capital to return to Bogotá the same day in the afternoon. Duque will be received by Lasso at the Carondelet Palace and, after the formal acts, the two presidents will hold a private meeting to which other members of both governments will later join, sources from the Casa de Nariño, headquarters of the Colombian Government, told Efe. . Later, Lasso will offer a lunch to the Colombian president, they will exchange decorations and close the day with a joint statement to the press. Lasso, who was elected on April 11, chose Colombia as the destination for his first trip abroad as president-elect, a visit that took place just nine days later, when he was received by Duque at the Casa de Nariño. At that meeting he defended the "economic opening of Ecuador to the world" and advocated for the "immediate full right entry" of his country to the Pacific Alliance, a bloc formed by Colombia, Chile, Mexico and Peru. The two presidents met again on August 14 at the common border, where he inaugurated a road corridor over the Mataje River that allowed better communication between the two countries. For years, the two governments have also held periodic meetings of the Binational Cabinet in which they discuss matters of bilateral interest in different fields.

Beyond reproduction, all living beings do not experience the chemistry of love in the same way Love, seen from a crude and scientific point of view, not so romantic, is not exclusive to the human species but rather animals can feel it in their own way (REUTERS) If we understand by falling in love the search for another individual to perpetuate the species, we must understand that this as a premise is present in all animals with reproductive capacity. If this is falling in love, that is, coldly defined as a choice and a preference, the big question is: why do we fall in love? And above all, what attracts us to the other and what is that process like? We are attracted to other individuals and this is caused by the action of substances called neurotransmitters that, in the brain, cause this reaction both in humans and in some animals, in which it has been reliably proven. Another clear question would be: why and why do we fall in love? Although the purpose of these complex and wonderful chemical processes, which take place in the brain and which humans baptize love, is very unromantic and glamorous, it is none other than the reproduction and survival of the species. In animal nature what really counts are the results and not the romanticism and this procedure by the repeated mechanism of trial and error, of which we ourselves are the successful result. There are three distinct phases in the process of falling in love, both human and animal (REUTERS) Animals are not spared either from the effects of the neurotransmitters guilty of falling in love, that is, they fall in love, but with infinite nuances. Birds and mammals are the two groups of species that create the most bonds without necessarily having an immediate and visible reproductive purpose involved. In primates, alliances and friendship relationships are often observed, there are even species and sometimes individuals there are animals that choose monogamy, such as swans, wolves or gibbons. The champions of monogamy are the birds that have a high percentage of species that derive loving bonds for life. Other well-known monogamies include prairie dogs, who have been found not only to kiss and fondle each other profusely, but to do so for longer when someone is looking at them. However, between amphibians and reptiles there are no permanent loving bonds or stable couples. The lack of romance is supplemented by greater reproductive success. The champions of monogamy are the birds that have a high percentage of species that derive loving bonds for life (AP) There are three distinct phases in the falling in love process, both human and animal. In the first phase we release some pheromones that make us feel attraction to the other individual, from that first moment of the crush, love is already pure, it plays with our brains. In the second phase, dopamine comes into action, which is a neurotransmitter that generates a sensation of reward, provides us with energy and takes us into a state of euphoria. This phase has a variable duration depending on the species, but among humans it lasts around three years. That time serves to maintain contact long enough for breeding to be successful. Nothing romantic, by the way, but very real. Endorphins star in the third stage of love. These substances provide a feeling of well-being that allows you to maintain a lasting relationship, even for life. They are a mixture of peace, tranquility and future security. Not all animals comply with this stage, since in many cases the male leaves the relationship once procreation has occurred and the reverse also occurs. Love, seen from a crude and scientific point of view, not so romantic, is not exclusive to the human species, but animals can feel it in their own way.
