A trade agreement between the two countries would be well received. This Thursday a study was presented on the perception that exists in Ecuador and Mexico of the products of each one, and its possible arrival to the other if a commercial agreement is reached between them. The report, developed by the consulting firm Advance and explained by its founder, Luis Pastor, indicates that 86% of Ecuadorians have a good-very good opinion of Mexican products, while the. 72% think the same about products from Ecuador. In addition, 58% of Ecuadorians consider that they are of good quality, compared to 30% from the Mexican side. Finally, 84% of Ecuadorians believe that a trade agreement between both states is a good idea and 79% were willing to buy products from that origin. In Mexico, 64% support the agreement and 54% say they could buy imported products from Ecuador. Currently the negotiations of the agreement between the countries have nine negotiating tables already closed, an advance of 78% in another 12 months and the telecommunications issue is pending, according to the Ecuador-Mexico Binational Chamber of Commerce, led by Alexandra Mosquera. “In the trade agreement with Mexico, 11 sensitive Ecuadorian sectors have been identified. The Government has indicated that it would take on the challenge by strengthening these sectors by identifying productive chains and opening up other markets, ”the chamber indicates in its presentation. Luis Naranjo, head of economic analysis and foreign trade at the Quito Chamber of Commerce, added in his presentation that the negotiations would end this November. The trade balance between the countries reflects that Ecuador sends 0.8% of non-oil exports to the North American country. While 3.6% of non-oil imports come from Mexico. The Quito Chamber of Commerce also mentioned that the three main Ecuadorian products with the potential to reach or grow in this market are: frozen shrimp and prawn, crude palm oil and preparations and preserves, among others. The agreement with Mexico, one of the 15 largest economies in the world, would also be part of the necessary framework to be part of the Pacific Alliance.

For some, the word "extinction" belongs to an ancient age of glaciations and asteroids, and to almost mythical beasts like dinosaurs and dodos. But extinction is happening at an astonishing rate right now, often quietly and beyond our gaze. There have been five deadly periods of mass extinction in the last 540 million years of Earth's history. Scientists believe that we are now in the middle of a sixth - the Anthropocene extinction - with human activity that is driving the rate of species loss 1,000 to 10,000 times more than it should be natural. (Related: Will Humans Survive the Sixth Great Extinction?) Human super-predators have reshaped the landscape since our ancestors rose to their feet and left Africa, annihilating other Earthlings on our journey, both directly through hunting and consumption, and indirectly through overpo[CENSORED]tion, overpo[CENSORED]tion. habitat loss, agriculture, pollution, the introduction of invasive species and climate change. The International Union for Conservation of Nature's Red List of Threatened Species, the world's most comprehensive source of information on the global extinction risk status of animal, fungal and plant species, has evaluated 138,300 species to date. and, of these, it is estimated that 28 percent are in danger of extinction. In total, the world's wild po[CENSORED]tions have declined an average of 68 percent since 1970. The 2021 COP26 summit in Glasgow offers the opportunity to halt the decline of global biodiversity caused by man, reverse the destruction of nature, stop the climate catastrophe and save the planet's endangered species, including ourselves. If we do not rise to these challenges in the next 10 years, designated by the United Nations as the Decade of Ecosystem Restoration, our world could change irreversibly. At this critical moment in Earth's history, we take a look at 26 animals destined for extinction if urgent action is not taken today, and we hear from conservationists striving to rewrite the latest chapter of their extraordinary stories. These are 26 of the species most threatened by climate change: There have been five deadly periods of mass extinction in the last 540 million years of Earth's history. Scientists believe that we are now in the middle of a sixth, the Anthropocene extinction, with human activity driving the rate of species loss between 1,000 and 10,000 times more than it should be natural. (Related: Will Humans Survive the Sixth Great Extinction?) Human super predators have reshaped the landscape since our ancestors rose to their feet and left Africa, annihilating other Earthlings on our journey, both directly through hunting and consumption, and indirectly through overpo[CENSORED]tion, overpo[CENSORED]tion. . habitat loss, agriculture, pollution, introduction of invasive species and climate change. Vaquita marina Endemic to the Sea of Cortez, in the Upper Gulf of California (Mexico), it is believed that only six of these small porpoises remain. His destiny is tragically intertwined with his marine neighbor, the totoaba, known as "the cocaine of the sea." Despite a permanent ban on fishing since 1975, the totoaba is illegally fished for its swim bladder, highly prized for its medicinal value (not demonstration) in Asia. The entanglement in the huge gillnets of poachers has made the vaquita the most endangered marine mammal in the world. The international direct action movement for ocean conservation, Sea Shepherd, patrols the UNESCO Vaquita Refuge, engaging fishing boats and removing nets. "Every net that is removed from the sea saves the lives of countless marine creatures and gives the vaquita a fighting chance," says Peter Hammarstedt, Sea Shepherd Global Campaign Director. European mink The European mink (Mustela lutreola) is seriously threatened by the expansion of the American mink, a species introduced in Spain that seems to be irreversibly displacing its native relative. The European Parliament has listed it as one of the most threatened mammals on the continent. Already in 2017, the World Wide Fund for Nature warned that the European mink (of which less than 500 specimens survive in Spain) could have completely disappeared in five years. Eastern lowland gorilla Gorillas, the world's largest primates and some of our closest living relatives, continue to face enormous challenges: from habitat loss to disease, poaching for bushmeat, and trade, mining and the extreme volatility in some of the regions they inhabit. More than 200 rangers have died in the Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, defending mountain and eastern lowland gorillas, while the collapse of tourism due to the COVID-19 pandemic has meant a loss income and an increase in poaching. The eastern lowland or Grauer's gorilla, which is now only found in 13 percent of its original range and has experienced an estimated 60 percent po[CENSORED]tion decline in recent decades, is critically endangered, the last step before extinction. The Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund works with local landowners to develop sustainable management practices in the habitat of the eastern lowland gorilla. "The data shows that gorillas living in community-owned forests can do very well," says Tara Stoinski, President, CEO and Chief Scientific Officer of the Fund. "The people of the Nkuba Conservation Area (NCA) show us that it is possible to protect biodiverse wilderness areas and the animals that live in them, and at the same time build strong and caring human communities: this gives me hope for the future." . The Scottish Wild Cat Extinct in England and Wales, the Scottish Highlands remain the last stronghold of the only indigenous cat species left in Britain. Loss of habitat, hunting, interbreeding with domestic cats and disease have decimated the 'Highland tiger', and fewer than 400 individuals are believed to be in the wild today, leaving the po[CENSORED]tion no longer viable . The Saving Wildcats program is a European partnership project overseen by the Royal Zoological Society Scotland (RZSS), which breeds wild cats in captivity in the RZSS Highland Wildlife Park, in the Cairngorms National Park, and in the Alladale Nature Reserve, and aims to release 20 cats a year in the wild. Pangolin The once little-known pangolin has risen to fame in recent years for the wrong reasons, as this gentle mammal has tragically become the species featured on wildlife trade posters. According to the wildlife trade monitoring network Traffic, up to a million pangolins have been traded in the last decade. "The eight species of pangolin are classified as threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and, although they are protected by national and international laws, they continue to be in high demand in China and Vietnam for their meat and scales, that are used in traditional Asian medicine, "says Michela Pacifici, a researcher with the Global Mammal Assessment (GMA) program, which is based on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. "Effective enforcement of the law, reducing the demand for pangolin items, and working with local communities are key to preserving the species." In the picture, a woman prepares to kill a pangolin in Cameroon. It is the non-human mammal that generates the most illegal traffic worldwide. North Atlantic right whale The North Atlantic right whale, one of the world's most threatened large whale species, has suffered years of human exploitation, being hunted near extinction by commercial whalers in the 1890s. Right whale, that is, the right whale or right whale. Said "right" in his name was a reference to the whalers being the "right" whale to kill). Despite being legally protected from hunting since the 1930s, fewer than 400 individuals remain, and entanglement in fishing nets, collisions with ships and climate change prevent the species from recovering. "Seasonal management areas should take into account whale migration routes, along with their feeding and breeding activities, to help mitigate collisions. Tighter restrictions on certain types of fishing gear are also urgently needed," says Michela Pacifici of The Global Mammal Assessment (GMA) program. Berthe's mouse lemur The smallest of the mouse lemurs and the smallest primate in the world, with a body mass of just 30 grams, it is unfortunately one of the lemurs most threatened with extinction. This small lemur, found only in the fragmented forests of the Menabe region of western Madagascar (Africa), with an estimated range of only 350 square kilometers, is at enormous risk due to logging, logging practices, slash-and-burn agriculture and charcoal production. "The annual deforestation rate in Menabe exceeded 40 square kilometers in 2017 and 2018," says Piero Visconti, principal investigator and head of the research group at the Biodiversity, Ecology and Conservation Group (BEC). "If deforestation continues at the same rate, the remaining habitat and species could be tragically lost in the next 10 years." For more ..

Your motorcycles will enjoy greater autonomy and an online store to buy software updates. Along with the SR update, Zero Motorcycles news for 2022 focus on technology: upgrade for full-range batteries and Cypher Store, an online store where you can purchase software upgrades for motorcycles with on-demand features. . The battery offering, called Z-FORCE, now includes the 14.4+ kWh and 15.6+ kWh versions, which can optionally increase their capacity to 17.3 kWh. Both will be available on the SR / S 2022, while the SR 2022 is only compatible with the small one, and the SR / F 2022 can only be paired with the top one. In addition, there is the possibility of combining them with the Power Tank, a device that increases the capacity to almost 21 kWh. With this, its autonomy in the city is up to 365 kilometers, while circulating on expressways the range remains at 182 kilometers. Cypher Store The other great novelty for next year is the Cypher Store, an online store that works thanks to the brand's own software (Cypher) that comes standard installed on the SR / F, SR / S and SR models. This allowed users to purchase updates with new functions for their motorcycles. Among the initials are "faster charging, longer range, increased speed and performance, parking mode, heated grips and instrument cluster navigation." Zero Motorcycles SR 2022 On the other hand, the Zero Motorcycles SR is updated for the new course (from 19,150 euros) and in Europe it replaces the SR / F Standard. It is equipped with an electric motor of 74 HP and 166 Nm of maximum torque that allows it to reach 167 km / h of maximum speed. In addition, it incorporates as standard the improved batteries (the Power Tank will be available in early 2022) and the Cypher III + operating system, which allows connection to the Cypher Store. Another novelty is the incorporation of the Mennekes connector (Type II), with which the motorcycle can be connected to the public recharging network, but also at home, work or any other place that has a standard power outlet.

Happy Birthday!

Since last June there was a previous investigation in the Public Prosecutor's Office for unjustified private enrichment against Andrés Arauz, as leader of UNES. The previous investigation opened in the Public Prosecutor's Office for the crime of unjustified private enrichment against the former presidential candidate of Correísmo, Andrés Arauz, and the electoral alliance 1-5 Unión por la Esperanza (UNES), the president of the Citizen Revolution movement, Marcela Aguiñaga , maintains that this case began with "false news" and is part of the "lawfare" that has been reactivated in Ecuador. “Through false news, an investigation was launched into an alleged unjustified private enrichment against our former presidential candidate (Andrés Arauz) and against more than 54 people. (...) Once again, judicial tools are used to silence those of us who think differently, to whom we believe that the government model represented by Mr. (Guillermo) Lasso is not the one that suits Ecuador, ”Aguiñaga said in a joint press conference with legislators from the UNES bench. According to the Prosecutor's Office, since last June 30 there would be a prior investigation for the crime of unjustified private enrichment against Andrés Arauz, as leader of UNES and presidential candidate at that time, an investigation that would also include the alliance that sheltered that candidacy. This pre-trial phase would have started after the complaint filed on March 11 by Carlos Andrés Aguilar, representative of the political-citizen platform Patria sin Corrupción. Just Aguilar, through a press release, rejected what is said from the correísmo that this investigation Papers of the Assembly of the Pandora. The principal of Patria sin Corrupción indicates that within the reserved phase of the investigation in the case against Arauz the Prosecutor's Office had already ordered proceedings and issued official letters requesting information from control entities such as the Internal Revenue Service, the Superintendencies of Companies and Banks, among other. On the personal Twitter account of former President Rafael Correa, he wrote, last Wednesday: “Pandora Papers appears and the Prosecutor's Office investigates ... Alliance 1-5! They no longer even keep the forms! ”. To the message, which was deleted shortly after being published, two documents from the Prosecutor's Office were attached with which it was intended to notify Arauz, the legal representative of the UNES Alliance, and 24 other natural and legal persons of the previous investigation. On the afternoon of last Wednesday, the Prosecutor's Office pointed out that due to the crime of unjustified private enrichment, the person under investigation is Andrés Arauz and that the names of the 25 remaining natural and legal persons (companies) were not those investigated, but were being notified to render a version of what they know of the case. The dates of these procedures are not yet known. Among those who would be notified for a version in the investigation for unjustified private enrichment are Juan Carlos Monedero, a Spanish political scientist who participated as an observer in the last elections in Ecuador; the representatives or managers of the Mexican company Neurona, the Consultorianeurona Sociedad Anónima, Celag Geopolítica Compañía, Ingeniería de Control IFP Cía. Ltda., Consultores de Negocios Globales GBCON C. L. and VIBE Corporation VBCO C. Ltda. The Prosecutor's Office confirmed that there would be, in addition to the previous investigation against Arauz for unjustified private enrichment, a previous investigation against Monedero and Neurona. It would be in charge of a different prosecutor, although apparently what would be analyzed are irregular events that occurred in the last electoral campaign in Ecuador, which in some way could be related. Aguilar, at that time, described that they must investigate crimes such as unjustified private enrichment, organized crime and illicit association. The complaint submitted indicates that the consulting firm Neurona would be being investigated in Spain for its services to the United Podemos political party, during the 2019 electoral campaign. According to the platform, that company would have been part of a contract in Ecuador that amounts to $ 20 million and that according to what they learned from the Spanish newspaper Vozpópuli, Neurona has been the creditor of at least $ 10 million "that the campaign team of the presidential candidate Andrés Arauz has disbursed for his electoral propaganda." Among the natural persons who are notified immediately to indicate a judicial domicile for future notifications in the Arauz case are Sergio Martín Carrillo, Alfredo Serrano Mancilla; the Mexicans César Hernández and Andrea López; and the Argentine Celso Oglietti. Twelve other Ecuadorians would also be on the list to render versions. López and Oglietti founded the Consultorianeurona company in Quito in 2016. The Mexican is a shareholder of Neurona Consulting in Mexico, while the Argentine is a Celag shareholder. Aguiñaga recalled that the accounts of the political organization that he leads are open for the National Electoral Council, when appropriate, to proceed to audit them and clarified to the Prosecutor's Office that at all times they have submitted the reports of rigor in accordance with the law. To the alleged persecution that would exist against members of the correísmo, the bloc of legislators of the UNES bench added that at this moment they are being threatened with legal action, said Paola Cabezas, coordinator of the bench, for having fulfilled the task of supervising the President Guillermo Lasso. The legal announcements, Cabezas indicated, would have come publicly from government officials and the coordinator of the ruling party in the Assembly, Luis Fernando Flores. The latter said that they will present legal complaints to the Prosecutor's Office to investigate acts framed in a plan to destabilize and create an idea of social unrest in the country to justify what they intend to do: remove the President of the Republic. Cabezas and Victoria Desintonio are part of the Assembly's Constitutional Guarantees Commission that investigated and approved a report on the so-called Pandora Papers in which President Lasso has been mentioned. The Assemblywoman of Correismo Mónica Palacios has also pushed the investigation, providing information on the subject obtained in Panama. “We want to make it clear that the Prosecutor's Office is being imprisoned, it is being used with political media fines, to try to silence and silence the rights that legislators have in the attribution of their functions to be able to supervise the actions of a government. (...) This is so crude and so mediatic that the Prosecutor's Office intends to use the Office to supposedly seek to dismiss our legislators, "added the president of the Citizen Revolution.

In addition to choosing cats and dogs, this weekend you will be able to attend workshops on awareness and care. “It is the third time that we have held these conferences; they have been a total success, since they allowed the adoption of more than 200 animals each year ”, said Patricia Durán, representative of Apa, the shelter that organizes this weekend's activity together with the Montevideo City Council (IM), and member of the Asociación Animalista Libera. Regarding the adoption requirements during those days, in Parque Rodó, he said that “although each shelter or rescuer has its own independent methods, what is generally done is to register the person who is interested, then a visit is made and they are analyzed the conditions to make or not the adoption ”. In his experience, not everyone comes close with the decision made: “Many times people will meet. So what you do is bring some animals. For example, this year from Apa we are going to take four or five adult dogs, although we have more than 400 in charge, and if the person does not feel connection with these animals, they can visit the shelter another day, ”he explained. The activity will take place in ten tents installed on Dr. Antonio María Rodríguez Street, near the Casino Parque Hotel. On Saturday the hours will be from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and on Sunday, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (dogs and cats will be up to an hour before closing, for health reasons). Both days they will talk about public protection policies, what has been achieved in Uruguay, and Law 18,471 on Animal Welfare. Proposals and campaigns of the Asociación Animalista Libera will also be presented. On the closing, on Sunday, there will be a talk for the promotion of a diet based on vegetable protein; environmental reality, health and food justice, and an ethical view of animals. Previous steps and follow-up "In this edition it is the first time that, in addition to the presence of the shelters, a series of informative workshops will be held to raise awareness and promote animal care, welfare, responsible ownership and coexistence of the animal with the environment," he said. Daniel González, deputy secretary general of the IM. The Asociación Animalista Libera was in charge of making the call and selection of the shelters and is the one that coordinates the details of the sanitary protocol and responsible adoption that the participating institutions must comply with, as previously coordinated with the IM. "We consider it important to highlight that the animals are not delivered on the day itself, because before there are a series of steps that the adopters must comply with and that imply prior work and subsequent commitments to ensure the conditions of the animal in its new home. ”, Described the hierarch. Even after the adoption is finalized, the shelter makes visits to verify that the pets are being well cared for. Among the commitments that were obtained are mandatory sterilization after six months, vaccinations and deworming, affiliation to a veterinarian, food according to their needs, and accepting visits to verify the status of the animal. Asked about other actions in which the IM is involved, González said that “they work in coordination with shelters when there are specific cases of abandoned animals. In addition, it aims to promote coexistence and responsible ownership of animals in the city, establishing authorized public spaces where dogs can be loose, under the responsibility of their owners. In addition to this, there is a dog park on Rambla Wilson and Bulevar Artigas, where people can go to train or walk their pets. On the other hand, every year the Intendancy carries out free castration days for dogs and cats in different neighborhoods; This year it had to be postponed for a few months, since the health emergency made it difficult to carry out, but a first stage will begin before the end of the year ”, he indicates. A responsibility Sofia Ciliano is a canine educator and will be giving a workshop on Sunday, from 10.30 to 11.00, about her specialty and the importance of a good bond with dogs. "When a person adopts in Apa, I give them a free online session and support to help the adopter and especially the animal adapt," he said. Regarding the workshop that he will be in charge of on the second day, he said that “beyond the fact that the dog does not have specific problems, it is very important to work in coexistence, perhaps fears that the animal has, because they are dogs that are more used to living with other dogs than with people. Seeing that is fundamental ”, he emphasized. There will be given “guidelines for coexistence and activities or exercises that can be done so that when the animals arrive at the new home they are calmer, they can channel their emotions and that whoever adopts knows something about, for example, the ages at which some will happen. changes in their pets ”. For those who are thinking of adopting, the educator said that “it is essential to understand that it is a responsibility, that an animal needs not only love and affection, but that certain routines of learning, play and bond must be fulfilled, and it is necessary to have some time to dedicate to them ”, he explained. Finally, he emphasized that the animal needs a space and activities such as smell, which is that through the search for food, the dog develops practice. "You don't have to humanize them, you have to ask yourself what they need as animals," he concluded.

A treasure as bright as amber We usually associate red with Ducati, but the truth is that the Italian manufacturer has also let us fantasize about their bikes in other colors. This 1993 Ducati 900 Superlight is a sample and it can also be yours if you win the auction. It has always been in Ducati's DNA to offer limited editions of its most exclusive bikes to offer the lucky ones the closest thing to a racing bike that exists. That happens today and we have the desired Ducati Superleggera V4, but it was already almost 30 years ago when it put the motorcycle that has caught our attention on the market. This is the Ducati 900 Superlight, which hit the market in 1992 with spectacular components and figures for the time. To tell the truth, removing the figures from, it is a motorcycle so exclusive in its time that most of today's motorcycles do not have everything that was offered. We took the DeLorean and landed in 1992, when this jewel worthy of a museum was first purchased. It was, clearly, a motorcycle prepared directly to remove the headlights and enter the circuit. Carbon was part of its bodywork, we found magnesium in the rims (the spokes), first class suspensions signed by Showa with the fully adjustable inverted front fork as well as the rear shock absorber, Brembo brakes both the caliper and the front double disc. 320 mm, monoposto tail, Mikuni carburettor ... In short, the best of the house at that time. The air-cooled engine was a two-cylinder desmodromic engine that, when new, delivered 80 hp. It may not sound like a lot of power today, but it was the cream for a twin at the time. Well, it also turns out that it was a limited edition that was being produced until 1996 and there is a unit that is up for auction right now. It is the unit 903 (from 1993) as certified by the plate that we see on its seat post. It must be said that, according to what we know about the bike and the photos we have seen, its condition is impeccable, although they do warn us that before it starts riding again it needs maintenance to bring it up to date. In any case, it is a motorcycle that has spent much of its life as an exhibition piece, although it has 7,206 miles on its scoreboard and we are talking about a motorcycle that has spent its entire life in the United States. As we can see in the photos, it has typical details of the racing motorcycles of that time such as watches (one of which has a small notch) inserted in foam to counteract vibrations. We also see, along with some rust on the exhaust, carbon protectors, as well as both fenders in the same material. The bike is fully standard (including extremely ugly mirrors) and aesthetically in perfect condition. An exclusive piece that is up for auction and has already reached $ 14,000. A figure that we are sure will exceed before it reaches the hands of its new owner when the auction closes in a couple of days. Until then we can dream about her.

DH1, It's very good

DH2, Is better

The Constitutional Guarantees Commission had planned to deliver the report on the investigation carried out at 5:00 p.m. on November 7 In the National Assembly there are still no official positions of the five benches regarding the report presented by the Constitutional Guarantees Commission on Pandora Papers, which indicated a breach by President Guillermo Lasso of the Law of the Ethical Pact that prohibits holding public office to direct or indirect owners of goods or capital in tax havens. However, there are assembly members who have their criteria on the recommendations of the document that was read last Friday and that received the support of six votes from Pachakutik and the correista sector of the Union for Hope (UNES) bench. The commission reported that the report would be delivered at 5:00 p.m. on November 7 to the president of the Assembly, Guadalupe Llori. From Pachakutik, the bench coordinator, Rafael Lucero, did not answer his phone, but his co-chair Ricardo Vanegas did, who first clarified that his position is not of the bloc but personal and that he will hardly change in the face of what was prepared by the Commission of Constitutional Guarantees, which - in his opinion - lost objectivity and legal technique in the investigation process and has submitted a report with undue motivation and based on assumptions, it reaches several recommendations. Recommendations cannot be based on assumptions, but on certainties, he replied. For the legislator, the report cannot indicate that the president has committed a crime, first the evidence has to be collected to determine if he adapted his conduct in an alleged crime, since the Assembly is not a judge or prosecutor. Vanegas insisted that without evidence, no one can be accused, and in this case the burden of proof is on the Guarantee Commission and not on the president, who is not obliged to present the evidence and even less to appear before a commission. nor before the plenary session of the National Assembly, as one of the report's recommendations suggests. In addition, Lasso has to answer for his actions from the day of his position, what he has done before does not correspond to Parliament, because it was not public, he added. Constitutionally, the first president only goes to Parliament to render annual reports, take office or when there is a call for a political trial, in this case, the grounds indicated in the same Constitution are not met. The National Assembly cannot do more than what the law allows, warned Vanegas. In its opinion, the Commission forgot to point out that the State Attorney General's Office initiated an investigation process on the Pandora Papers, and at that stage no information can be delivered, and neither can the authorities such as the Superintendency of Banks and the Revenue Service. Inmates can deliver information, because they would be violating the Law; therefore, it is inappropriate to recommend that because they do not provide information they must be prosecuted. From the Democratic Left, Alejandro Jaramillo considered that the plenary session must decide on what the legislative table determined for non-compliance with functions, and that if the Assembly initiated this investigation, it does not mean that it intends to persecute the President of the Republic. Whether or not there was social upheaval is a subjective criterion, stressed the orange representative, because at this moment what the country requires is stability, job creation and Ecuador cannot continue to be bogged down in exhausting business issues. He clarifies that the ID does not defend anyone, but it is worth wondering if this is in the best interest of the country: instability and chaos. Jaramillo recalled that an investigation into Pandora Papers is already open in the Prosecutor's Office, and it will be that instance that determines the existence or not of a crime. In the next few hours the bench will meet to define an official position. But his co-leader Wilma Andrade was frontal in questioning the report presented by the Guarantees table and maintains that the Assembly does not have the powers to convene the president to the plenary session. The commission can recommend anything, but there is no legal basis for doing so. Even if Pachakutik gathers his votes with other parties and they decide to call the president, he is not obliged to do so, he said. Virgilio Saquicela, first vice president, member of the National Agreement Group (BAN) and of the commission that investigated Pandora's papers, refuted the recommendation of the legislative board that the head of state be summoned to the plenary session. He reiterated that he presented a minority report in which it is recommended that all documentation related to Pandora Papers be sent to the Comptroller's Office and the State Attorney's Office, and that the case be archived. He ratified that the ruling bloc supports the president and rejected a "groped" report, stating that he allegedly failed to comply with the regulations that prohibit a public official from having assets or capital in tax havens. He questioned whether it is intended, in a report, to accommodate the criterion that there is an internal commotion and consequently to forge causes for an impeachment, when the commotion must have been given at the moment in which the supposed connection of the President of the Republic with the Pandora Papers. If the first president incurred in any situation, there is the ordinary justice and the State Comptroller's Office that is acting. "That report is gibberish," said Saquicela, because in his opinion he begins by saying one thing and at the end of the day he affirms that the president allegedly would not have transferred his properties within the time established in the Law, when that was already tried. The UNES coordinator, Paola Cabezas, did not answer her phone, but that political sector also called itself the Citizen Revolution sent a statement rejecting the government's statements that in its opinion are irresponsible and whimsical, which instead of responding to international accusations that link him to the Pandora Papers, threatens to use judicial weapons against those who investigate the alleged crimes of perjury, tax fraud, front manism and bank embezzlement of President Guillermo Lasso. For the Citizen Revolution, the political crisis facing the country is resolved by appearing before the National Assembly and presenting its defense evidence on the alleged accounts and assets in tax havens, as well as the breach of the ethical pact. That they are not coup plotters or conspirators, but a democratic opposition that presents constitutional solutions to this political, social, ethical and moral crisis. The PSC issued a statement where it states that the report of the Constitutional Guarantees Commission regarding the President of the Republic and the Pandora Papers is carefully analyzed, this refers in several parts to an alleged case of internal commotion. That this cause is not applicable to this case, according to two opinions of the Constitutional Court, which define the internal commotion and which are public knowledge. That its legislative bench will not support the removal of a President of the Republic outside of the Constitution and the law. The Functions of the State have clearly established competences. That the plenary session of the National Assembly cannot assume those corresponding to other State functions and agencies such as the Comptroller's Office, the Electoral Branch, and others. It clarifies that the plenary session of the Assembly can remove any President of the Republic, but exclusively when his behavior is framed in the causes established in article 130 of the Constitution: arrogance of functions and serious political crisis and internal commotion.

According to the WWF organization, the IPCC states that an average increase of 1.5 ° C can put 20-30% of species at risk of extinction There are threats to the fauna that inhabits the earth's ecosystem, but it is very likely that global warming is the main cause of extinction of species in the 21st century. According to the organization WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature), the IPCC affirms that an average increase of 1.5 ° C can put 20-30% of species at risk of extinction. In the event that the crisis runs its course and nothing is done to reverse it, if the planet warms more than 2 ° C, most ecosystems will have problems. Whether due to the thawing of the poles, rising temperatures or air pollution, climate change poses numerous dangers to the habitat of the planet's fauna and their diet and the crisis is occurring at such a speed that many species are not able to Adapt to changes. It should be noted that the extinction of certain species not only means a loss in the richness of the variety of animals that live together on planet Earth, since it can produce a domino effect in the ecosystem. The loss of a predator can give rise to what is called a trophic cascade, an ecological phenomenon triggered by the extinction of a predator that can also affect prey po[CENSORED]tions and consequently cause drastic changes in the ecosystem and the food web. Until now, there are few species that have completely disappeared due to climate change, but currently the risk is such that there are a million species in danger of extinction for this reason. Some of the species in critical situations are as follows, according to the compilation of the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Polar Bear There are 19 subpo[CENSORED]tions of the polar bear and, according to the latest data from the Polar Bear Specialist Group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), three subpo[CENSORED]tions are in decline and it is estimated that there is a high risk of future decline due to climate change. This concern arises mainly as a result of the continuous loss of its habitat, since the sea ice each year thaws a little more due to the rise in the global average temperature, as a result of climate change. However, they also face other threats such as conflicts with humans, unsustainable hunting and impacts generated by the industry, including the risk of oil spills due to the increase in traffic of barges, tankers and cargo ships in arctic waters and that can cause great contamination of their natural habitat. It should be noted that this species plays a key role in the ecosystem, since it is located at the top of the food chain and plays an important role in the marine ecosystem. Koalas Koalas feed on a herbivorous diet and since the fauna is not the only living being in danger from climate change, the flora and the only food for these animals are also threatened. Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are lowering the nutritional value of the leaves, leading to malnutrition and starvation of the koala. On the other hand, droughts and the growing risk of forest fires caused by climate change also endanger this species. On the one hand, they force these animals to descend from the trees in search of new habitats exposing themselves to predators and, on the other, the fires also directly kill millions of animals that live in the forests, such as koalas. Giraffes Another animal that has been at risk from the effects of climate change on its diet is the giraffe. In this sense, the giraffe po[CENSORED]tion has decreased by 40% in the last 30 years. In addition to poaching, two of the most pressing dangers are the reduction of habitat and the decrease of acacia trees that have been their main source of nutrition, both due to climate change. Sumatra tiger According to the Red List, there are between 2,154 and 3,159 tigers in the wild worldwide and, in the last 80 years, three subspecies have already become totally extinct. Climate change has led to rising sea levels and an increased risk of forest fires, endangering already fragmented tiger po[CENSORED]tions. Specifically, the subspecies the Sumatran tiger is only found on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, and it is estimated that currently only about 400 remain and, for the reasons explained above, they are in serious danger of extinction. Snow Leopard Snow leopards are sparsely distributed in 12 Central Asian countries, from southern Russia to the Tibetan Plateau, including Mongolia, China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Nepal, and the widespread rise in temperatures in these areas as a result Climate change endangers the habitat of these mammals. In this sense, the rise in temperatures is causing a displacement of the growth of trees towards higher altitude areas in the mountains, which is reducing the variety of their species. One of the great risks of this is the fragmentation and isolation of these leopards and the consequences it can have for their hunting. Snow leopards are the main predators in their environment and their disappearance would imply an imbalance in the ecosystem, since herbivore po[CENSORED]tions would increase causing changes in the flora and also affecting other wild animals that live in those areas. Three species now extinct The last time that specimens of the golden toad ('Bufo periglenes'), one of the first animals to disappear as a result of climate change, were seen in the Monteverde cloud forest in Costa Rica, in 1989, in the Monteverde cloud forest , Costa Rica, and its extinction is attributed to El Niño, a natural phenomenon that involves fluctuating ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific. Temperatures reached record highs and rainfall was the lowest causing a long drought, which put this subspecies to the test and could not adapt to atmospheric conditions. Another species that suffered the harsh consequences of the climate crisis was the lime fish. Due to their sensitivity to high temperatures, they cannot survive rising water temperatures and, due to the warming of the oceans, in 1988 they became extinct in Japan. Finally, the first mammal to become extinct due to global warming was the rodent 'Melomys rubicola', endemic to Australia. It is also known as the mosaic-tailed rat and lived on a small island that rises just three meters above sea level, called Bramble Bay. The animal was reported as extinct in 2016, due to the sharp drop in leafy plants recorded on the island, which were reduced by 97%. As explained by the Queensland Department of Environment and Heritage Protection: "The main causal factor for the extirpation of this po[CENSORED]tion was, almost certainly, the oceanic flooding in the lower areas of the key, most likely on multiple occasions during the last decade, which caused a drastic loss of habitat and perhaps also the direct death of individuals ". On low-lying islands like Bramble Bay, the rising sea levels that have occurred on the planet as a result of climate change, rising almost 20 centimeters between 1901 and 2010, pose a threat to their disappearance and the survival of their nature.

The Australian group that owns the Super Soco brand under which it sells affordable electric scooters and mopeds, has prepared a new presentation at the next EICMA in Milan which is expected to be a premium electric motorcycle to be sold under the new Vmoto brand. Super Soco is a brand of mopeds and electric motorcycles that are generally characterized by their balanced performance designed for the mass market in which they seek their niche thanks to affordable prices. However, the group to which it belongs wants to take advantage of the reputation it has built as a builder of simple motorcycles to add the word "premium" to its list of features with a new brand of high-end motorcycles that will be available in Europe and the United States. . Super Soco is one of the two main brands offered by the Australian group Vmoto which has its manufacturing centers in Asia. Super Soco has in its catalog a wide variety of models from the Cumini, which is at the entry level to the range approved as an electric moped, through the TS Street and TC Wanderer, to the top of the range, the TC-3 , its largest and most powerful maxi scooter. During the celebration of the EICMA Milan Motorcycle Show, one of the most important motorcycle shows in the world and which takes place at the end of this month (25-28 November), a new presentation is planned that most likely has a lot to do with the new premium brand that will take directly on behalf of the Vmoto group. In this way, the manufacturer enters a market dominated by the American brands Zero Motorcycles and Harley-Davidson and in Europe by Energica. While the first is the only one that offers entry models that start at somewhat more affordable prices (around 14,000 euros), of the other two it is not possible to get the cheapest model for less than 20,000 euros. In this scenario, Vmoto could find a competitive advantage in the price at which it can offer its motorcycles in a market where performance, range and high technology are valued, but which also requires a good deal of design. To achieve this goal, you not only have to match the competition in these three conditions, but you also have to do so while maintaining good build quality. In this market, the Chinese company Kollter also stands out, which has in its catalog some models that start at just over 6,000 euros at the exchange rate, but that have nothing to do with the design and the differentiating aspect of the previous ones. For now, the Australian group has not offered more information about this announcement, and we will have to wait until the end of the month to know details about this first model and frame it in the segment in which it corresponds.

The analysis of the urgent project of Development and Fiscal Sustainability will continue on Monday with the appearances of the economic authorities of the government On the second day of appearances, the Economic Development table of the National Assembly received representatives of the productive sector and business unions who presented their observations on the urgent project of Economic Development and Taxation, which focused on the implementation of new tax burdens on, the tax table and the elimination of deductions, for which they proposed a tax pact. The project highlighted the elimination of VAT and ICE for some consumer products, although the representative of small and medium-sized companies proposed the inclusion of inputs for production. The appearances will continue next Monday with the presence of the economic authorities of the Government from 09:00, whose session will be in person and cannot be delegated, announced the legislator Wilma Andrade (ID), who is in charge of the presidency of the table. In the session of this November 6, unanimously, the commission approved a motion raised by the legislator César Rohón (before PSC), so that the technical support table made up of economic representatives of the Government and the legislative commission, also include delegates from the productive, academic and citizen sectors. Felipe Ribadeneira, presidente del Comité Empresarial Ecuatoriano, señaló que el nuevo aporte a las empresas que se propone en el proyecto debe ser reconsiderado porque compromete la capacidad de reactivación, y también dijo que establecer una mayor carga tributaria a los hogares perjudica la capacidad de consumo y fiscal. formalización, para lo cual planteó la necesidad de un pacto fiscal que incentive la seguridad jurídica, la reactivación y la inversión. Dijo que es necesario que la reforma tributaria esté en sintonía con el momento económico para proteger el empleo y especialmente las fuentes de empleo. Que gravar el patrimonio es antitécnico, ya que la reforma no distingue entre empresas que tienen pérdidas con empresas que tienen un bajo nivel de liquidez. Este pacto fiscal, según Ribadeneira, permitirá obtener una seguridad jurídica que fomente la atracción y generación de inversiones, planificación fiscal con corresponsabilidad. Criticisms of the project from the CCQ are in the chapter on wealth tax, since they consider that the main affected are in the commercial and industrial sector who assumed more than 50% of the losses in 2020. That the reform not only hits to large companies, almost 20% of the companies are SMEs, that is, 550 companies. Miguel Ángel González, president of the Guayaquil Chamber of Commerce, proposed that in the urgent Law it is considered to include a reduction of the ICE to weapons so that private security companies can be further strengthened and join efforts in the fight against crime, insecurity citizen and violence in general. The Council of Chambers of Production through its president, Felipe Espinosa, indicated that the contributions raised in the project must be temporary and must not compromise the liquidity of the companies, otherwise the economic reactivation and the generation of employment they are going to take much longer. The increase in income tax should not be more than two years, and the deduction of expenses should be maintained at least in the most important items such as health and education, he noted.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock delivered a piece of correspondence to the Legislative Assembly, containing a law on animal protection and expanding the punishments against those who mistreat them. According to the Government, the Law for the Protection and Promotion of the Welfare of Companion Animals will serve to "watch over and protect the lives of animals" and create the Institute for Animal Welfare. The Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, David Martínez, said that "this Law recognizes animals as living beings that feel, which guarantees the fulfillment of their rights." He added that this instance "will be the governing body for the application of the new law." According to the articles, the law involves the MAG, ministries of Health and Education, mayors, PNC, FGR, Higher Institute of Public Health, and the Veterinary Medical Profession Oversight Board. Martínez was accompanied by deputies from the cyan bench who pledged to vote on the bill, which could take effect as of next year. President Nayib Bukele announced on November 1 the presentation of this initiative by laying the first stone of a veterinary hospital built with the "profits" generated by the purchase of bitcoin. He indicated that this hospital, which will also treat domestic animals abandoned on the streets, "is not built by the State," but rather a private company created by an autonomous state company. He added that all the treatments will cost 25 cents, which must be paid through the government bitcoin wallet called Chivo Wallet to promote the use of the cryptoactive, which has been legally circulating in the Central American country since last September 7.

The loan has a term of 12 months and a rate of 1.35%. The Latin American Reserve Fund (FLAR) disbursed $ 308 million to the country in support of the government economic program. The resources will be used to solve liquidity needs, in accordance with national regulations, the Ministry of Economy and Finance reported a few minutes ago in a statement. The $ 308 million delivered correspond to a credit approved to Ecuador, by this agency, for a term of 12 months and an interest rate of 1.35%. The Minister of Economy and Finance, Simón Cueva, highlighted the approval of this financing as it shows that Ecuador's economic policy has the backing of the international community because it is handling public finances seriously and responsibly. Ecuador recently received $ 800 million from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) corresponding to the resources that are part of the financial agreement with that multilateral. And by the end of the year he expects to have $ 700 million more as part of the same financial process. Additionally, and like all member countries, they received $ 950 million in SDRs in September, which were later converted into foreign currency to finance the budget deficit.

Keeping an animal costs money but it also has other benefits for both physical and mental health According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment, keeping a dog costs 900 euros a year; a cat, 534 euros. The rest of pets - hamsters, rabbits, fish, birds - go to an average of 376 euros. This means that a dog costs on average 75 euros per month; a cat 45 euros, and the rest 30 euros. They are not small, if we take into account that figures of half of Catalan households have a pet and there are quite a few who have more than one. According to the Catalan Association of Pet Food Manufacturers, for the first time in Catalonia there are more dogs than those under 14 years of age. Is it a luxury to have an animal? On average, Catalan households allocate 2,400 euros per month - according to the INE's Family Budget Survey - to pay for housing, food, transport, schools and all other expenses. Therefore, 75 euros per month in pets would represent 3% of this amount that we will have to get from somewhere. This is known as the opportunity cost. Eduard Conti, financial advisor, explains that from a solely economic point of view, for a family with a very fair amount of money, spending this amount on animals could be considered a luxury. But we have to know that having a pet has direct benefits on physical and mental health. Numerous health benefits The University of Toronto did a study tracking the health of 4 million people over 10 years and found that owning a dog reduced the risk of dying from any cause by 24%. And the American Heart Association concluded that the risk of cardiovascular disease is reduced by 31% if you have one at home. In addition, having animals brings emotional benefits that we would not obtain in any other way and that are difficult to quantify. Conti concludes that having a pet, more than a luxury, is a benefit for physical, mental and emotional health, and ends with Gandhi's phrase: “The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way it treats its animals. ”.

Man's desire to fly has passed from generation to generation. So much so that once achieved, we have endeavored to apply flight to all types of vehicles. Whether they be cars or motorcycles. However, until now nothing cash has been built that you could buy yourself. However, this last statement has changed since the company A.L.I. Technologies, a Japanese start-up specializing in drones based in Tokyo, has developed its first hovercraft. It is the Xturismo Limited Edition, a motorcycle that you can buy from now for $ 680,000 (about 590,000 euros). Xturismo Limited Edition: practical use as rescue equipment The A.L.I. Technologies has been developing since 2017 and aims to become the next generation of mobility, allowing it to operate freely in a three-dimensional space. According to Reuters, a medium that has been able to attend the presentation of the vehicle in Japan, the start up has received funds from Mitsubishi Electric and Kyocera. Its suppliers also include Kawasaki Heavy Industries, which shows that the project has quite a future. In fact, in his presentation he made a short flight demonstration a few meters from the ground on a racing circuit to check its function, being the most effective and without flight problems. The design of the Xturismo Limited Edition Basic is shown as a hybridization between a normal motorcycle cut in half that is attached underneath an XXL-dimensional drone. The device rests on "skids" like those of a helicopter when not in flight, and to propel it has a conventional internal combustion engine and four electric motors. Thanks to them they can stay in flight for up to 40 minutes with a maximum speed of 100 km / h. Its dimensions are not suitable for all garages since it measures 3.7 meters long, 2.4 meters wide and 1.5 meters high. Its weight is not far behind either, rising to 300 kg. That if, its load capacity of only 100 kg seems somewhat short for use. Its use in Japan is limited, for the moment, to controllable areas such as circuits, although according to what Daisuke Katano, executive president of the start up to Reuteurs, has told them, "in the short term its use will be limited to such sites and it will not be "Allow flying over crowded roads in Japan. However, the rescue teams could use the hovercraft to reach places that are difficult to access. "A use, for the moment, of the most practical that this technology could continue to develop in Japan. Although its use is limited to the circuit for the moment, you can get one of them since the company has opened the order period. Its exchange price is 590,000 euros and the first deliveries are scheduled for mid-2022.

China's economy has slowed in recent months due to Beijing's push to slow growth in the real estate sector. China's economy is facing further downward pressure and has to cut taxes and tariffs to address the problems faced by small and medium-sized enterprises, according to the country's Prime Minister Li Keqiang. You may also be interested in: SIC formulated a list of charges per cartel in five infrastructure tenders Li did not specify the scope of the new "downward pressure" or its cause, but Chinese officials generally use the phrase to refer to a slowing economy. You've used the phrase before, even multiple times in 2019. The economy needs "cross-cyclical adjustments" to remain in a proper range, Li said during a visit to China's main market regulator, state broadcaster CCTV reported. That phrase is associated with a more conservative fiscal and monetary approach that focuses more on long-term prospects than immediate economic performance. China's economy has slowed in recent months due to Beijing's push to slow growth in the real estate sector. Li's comments came after new signs of weakness in October due to power shortages that hit the manufacturing sector and tight coronavirus controls that curbed Christmas spending. The official manufacturing sector purchasing managers index fell to 49.2, the national statistics office reported on Sunday, corresponding to the second month below the key mark of 50, indicating a contraction in production. Several investment banks have lowered their forecasts for China's growth in 2021 below 8% in recent weeks. However, former Chinese central bank adviser Huang Yiping told Bloomberg News on Tuesday that while China's economy will slow further in the coming months, annual growth of around 8% can be achieved. Li called for the creation of a better business environment through equal treatment for all types of companies and better market supervision, citing efforts to combat monopolies, unfair competition and hoarding.
