Following the informative interest on vegan diets in companion animals, British veterinarians have noted the importance of consulting with the veterinarian to decide on the diet of a companion animal Recently, several British media have shown great interest in whether dogs and cats can be fed vegetarian or vegan diets. Interest has also grown in whether owners can be prosecuted under the provisions of British animal welfare laws for this reason. For this reason, the president of the British Veterinary Association (BVA), Justine Shotton, has appeared in various media, such as The Guardian, the Daily Express or BBC 5 Live, giving advice to pet owners. In this sense, the BVA has shared statements by its president, which summarizes the position of the veterinary association on vegan diets for dogs and cats. Thus, British veterinarians consider it positive that pet owners are interested in the origin and ethics of feeding their companion animals and recall that “a nutritionally balanced diet is essential”. "Meat contains vital vitamins and nutrients that dogs and cats need. Although we do not recommend it, it is theoretically possible to feed a dog a vegetarian diet, but owners should seek expert advice to avoid dietary deficiencies and associated diseases, since it is much easier to get the nutrient balance wrong than to get it right. A dog on a vegetarian diet may also need synthetic supplements, "emphasized Shotton. As for cats, they point out that they are obligate carnivores and should not follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, "since they need ingredients of animal origin to obtain essential nutrients, such as taurine and preformed vitamin A, which are minimal or even absent. in the vegetable ingredients ". With ongoing scientific research on the subject, Shotton has underscored the importance of considering and evaluating all new published evidence. "Although on paper a vegan diet for cats may include supplements or alternatives to protein of animal origin, for example, there is no guarantee that they are bioavailable to the cat or that they will not interfere with the action of other nutrients," he says. Therefore, the veterinarian explains that robust, peer-reviewed research is currently needed to ensure that protein sources cannot meet the pet's dietary needs. THE OWNERS ARE OBLIGED TO PROVIDE AN ADEQUATE DIET TO THEIR PETS "Our advice to pet owners interested in exploring alternative diet options for their pets is to speak with their veterinarian first, as any changes to a pet's diet should only be made under the advice of a veterinarian with a deep nutritional knowledge ", recommends the president. Likewise, Shotton also stresses that all owners have a duty to care for their pets to ensure that they meet the welfare needs of their animals. "Under British Animal Welfare Law, owners have an obligation to ensure the welfare of their animals, including proper diet and deliberate suffering to any animal by failing to meet their welfare needs despite advice. of the experts, "he concludes. This warning from British veterinarians is in line with the lack of awareness of the importance of animal protein as the main source of energy in pet food by owners. Thus, a survey by the animal health company Virbac revealed that the headlines do not know that their dogs and cats are eminently carnivores and that they need a diet rich in protein and low in carbohydrates.

Would you like to have a superbike for the price of a scooter? Then keep reading. Australia is famous for many things: endless beaches and endless summers. Then, of course, there are the barbecues and the sea creatures that you can find there. But one thing Australia is not very famous for is electric power. This fact has not stopped an Australian entrepreneur from setting up an electric motorcycle company and making something beyond his average number of motorcycles: making motorcycles cheap enough to convince people not to use gasoline vehicles. The production of the Savic brand motorcycles will start from next year, and there will be a choice between three different motorcycle models: Alfa, Delta and Omega. Each one has a battery with a different storage capacity. Savic Motorcycles' most expensive bike, Alfa, is offered with 80 hp, 180 Nm and a 0-100 in 3.5 seconds. This model is priced at $ 24,000 (27,360 euros). But there are also cheaper models than the previous one. Delta starts from a price of $ 17,000 (10,943 euros) for 53 hp, 140 Nm and a 0-100 in 4.5 seconds. And Omega starts from the 13,000 dollars (8,386 euros) for 33 CV, 110 Nm and a 0-100 in 5.5 seconds. The torque figure of the Alfa model is monstrous for a motorcycle: Ducati's top-notch Panigale V4 R has a 1,100cc engine and costs more than 41,633 euros. Although at 16,500 rpm, it develops a torque of 112 Nm and a power of 223 hp, so it might not be the most fair comparison. But we are talking about road bikes that can charge from zero to practically its maximum between two and four hours, depending on the model. These bikes have the torque of an average small French hatchback and cost as much as one of these models, but second hand. With electric motorcycles, the usual comparison to make with the automotive world is Tesla, but the comparison really cannot be made. After all, Musk had a huge cushion of money to start with, and the original founders, Marc Tarpenning and Martin Eberhard, are almost footnotes in Tesla history. Perhaps a more accurate comparison is with Rimac: a young, motivated and mechanically intelligent man with a five-letter surname, building a machine that turns the traditional around, using the experience he has within the borders of his country.

The new bill for a tax reform presented on Thursday, October 27, 2021 to the National Assembly by President Guillermo Lasso, reveals -at least for now- indications of a political unblocking in Ecuador, where the Executive and Legislative must now get along for your approval. The bill for economic development and fiscal sustainability, which the Assembly must deal with in 30 days, is the first of three that Lasso has planned in his fractional package of reforms, which were rejected last month. With this, the President accepted the position of the Legislature not to send the entire package, but to do it in phases: the first, the labor law will follow and, later, the investment law. The economic analyst Alberto Acosta Burneo welcomes the procedure adopted by the Executive prior to the sending of the project that, according to the Presidency, was prepared "by collecting the suggestions of various social and political sectors of the country." "On the political side, I think the government this time has done the right thing and I think there is a better chance that the project will be approved," Acosta Burneo said, underlining that "the game of democracy is to reach consensus." The beginning of this dynamic "will be fundamental for the Government because there are many other issues that have to be discussed and dealt with, and it is necessary to unblock the relationship between the Executive and the Assembly," he said, noting that the possibility of going to the call " cross death ”was a very dangerous gamble. Last Thursday, Lasso said that "for the moment" he will leave the idea of a cross-death in the book of the Constitution and will choose the route of "dialogue" to carry out his bills. "Let's leave it in the Constitution, for now that it is in the Constitution," Lasso replied in an interview, on whether he still considers among his options the tool to dissolve Parliament in the event that his reform projects do not advance. Acosta Burneo presumes that the Executive "is willing to give in on many things," and has even suspended the gradual rise in fuel prices, "something that he had said he was not going to do. I think this goes very hand in hand with trying to get endorsements in the Assembly for their projects ”. Given the facts, Acosta Burneo believes that the situation is "gradually unlocking" and stresses that "there has been an opening to deal with the issues, which is already a great step against the blockade that we had on both sides, because neither the Executive nor Legislative they wanted to know nothing about each other ”. And he showed his hope that what is currently happening at sea is a "thaw of the relationship": "I think the Government is giving in and finding a way to unblock this problem of entrapment between the Assembly and the Executive." But if he sees positive aspects politically around the draft Tax Law, the analyst considers that it is "not appropriate" economically because the economy is "still very weak." "Raising taxes on companies and individuals will help with the tax issue, but the underlying issue is job creation, it is economic activity," he commented, noting that "withdrawing money from companies at this time implies less investment, and withdrawing money from people is less savings and less consumption ”. But the Presidency maintains that the reform project complies "with the principles of progressivity and tax justice" and, after its approval, the Government expects to collect "more than USD 1.9 billion" in its first two years. Ecuador is dragging an economic crisis, which worsened with the pandemic, and that the new government, which came to power last May, wants to correct with a wide spectrum of reforms that have collided with social groups and unions due to their impact on the lesser po[CENSORED]tion. wealthy. However, according to the Presidency, with the new fiscal plan, 96.6% of the economically active po[CENSORED]tion will not be affected, since “the main effort will fall on those who earn more than USD 5,000 per month, have a greater wealth to one million and the largest companies in the country ”. "Those who earn between 2,000 and 5,000 per month will make a small contribution, proportional to their income level," he says. It also establishes that, for two years, the largest and most solvent companies in the country, with an equity greater than five million, make "a solidarity contribution of 0.8%." And although they are measures that, if approved, will help the fiscal issue, Acosta Burneo maintains that “the challenge of the Government is to accelerate (economic) growth and that is not achieved by charging more taxes to those who invest or to families, but by encouraging investment and putting public spending in order ”.

Many of the cats and dogs abandoned in shelters live wounded with sadness I do not know if it comes in the books, or if much or little has been written about it, I just know that it exists. I have seen it in many people who, little by little, it has consumed the pain. Their faces weren't lying. Sadness, by dint of feeling alone, had taken hold of them and had turned off their light. However, it is not an exclusively human ailment. Animals suffer from it too. In shelters or these shelters it is seen very clearly because they are like large hospitals in which, directly or indirectly, people and animals are rehabilitated. Thanks for watching The first, humans, recompose their consciences in them. They wash their minds and leave with the idea that they did everything possible for those dogs or cats that they abandon in them. They discharge their guilt with a simple signature of resignation on the animal on a paper or written form. It's his way of saying goodbye. However, for animals everything is much more difficult. It is true that in the shelters there are also feral cats and stray dogs that never had an owner. They face their stays there, with the clear idea of escaping. For them there are no walls or fences that prevent them from dreaming of freedom. However, most are house dogs and cats, made of pure love, who did have human families with whom they lived before entering a shelter. They lived with people to whom they gave a lot for nothing and paid for their delivery with abandon. They are animals that come to their cages wounded with sadness. It is impossible for them to separate memories from grief. That is why there are so many cats in these centers hiding in their bedrooms under blankets or towels and dogs that are curled up in the corners of their cages. It is his way of crying. Make no mistake about it, they too are victims of depression and loneliness. Link: https://www.elperiodico.com/es/sociedad/20211031/animales-depresion-soledad-abandono-12540789

There is no doubt that urban mobility is evolving at great speed, a circumstance that is giving rise to a multitude of striking proposals that aim to attract a specific type of user respectively. This is the case of the alternative that you can see in the images and which has been baptized as Tatamel Bike. It is a tiny electric motorcycle that comes from the Japanese brand Icoma and that has the ability to fold back on itself so that its size is similar to that of a suitcase. In this way, it seeks to solve the space problem that usually exists in certain urban areas and, at the same time, protect the vehicle from possible damage or theft if it is parked on the street. And, thanks to its folding system, the bike takes a surprisingly compact shape and can be placed in any corner of the house or even stored under the desk while we are at the office. In this position, the Tatamel Bike is so concealed that it can be mistaken for another piece of furniture in the room or office where it is located. The vehicle was introduced in a prototype version about a year ago and now the time has come for it to go into production. Regarding its proportions once folded, the electric motorcycle measures only 70 cm in length, 68 cm in height and 26 cm in width, a reason that clearly facilitates its storage. To return it to its roadworthy riding position, the seat of the Tatamel Bike is extended backwards and both the frame and the handlebars unfold. In this way, its size almost doubles, as the electric motorcycle now measures 123 cm long, 100 cm high and 65 cm wide. Although due to its dimensions and appearance it could seem almost a toy vehicle, the truth is that the manufacturer ensures that it has everything necessary to circulate. Its basic equipment includes LED-type lighting and, of course, brake and turn signal lights, as well as footrests. It should not be overlooked that, given its size, it does not seem to be highly recommended for people of much higher than average height, since the comfort of the driver would suffer considerably. The brand has not yet reported on the characteristics of the electric motor that drives the vehicle but what we do know is that it can reach speeds of up to 40 km / h. Regarding its autonomy, it should be noted that it can cover distances of up to 50 km for each recharge. For not too long daily transfers, it can become an interesting option. As a detail to highlight, the Tatamel Bike has specific entrances to be able to charge small devices during the trips.

Gone are the worst moments of the pandemic, but the scars remain. After a deep global economic contraction last year and a wave of economic stimuli deployed by governments to deal with the situation, take-off has begun to advance little by little and unevenly in the different regions of the planet. With vaccination processes underway in most countries, economies are raising their heads. However, the balance remains precarious. Bottlenecks in global supply chains, rise in energy prices, the threat of new variants of the coronavirus, high levels of indebtedness and the increase in inflationary pressures, are some of the challenges that are making the way a little more difficult to navigate. Looking at what awaits us next year, a group of experts from the British consultancy Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) selected the 10 biggest global risks that can affect economic growth and inflation. The research results published in the report "Risk Outlook for 2022" anticipate a considerable economic increase of 4.1%. But that can change overnight, if some of the risks skyrocket and the rules of the game change. A fall in Wall Street is one of the most likely scenarios. These are political, military, economic and environmental risks that, with a greater or lesser probability of materializing, are latent and could be triggered if the necessary conditions are generalized, the study points out. Ten risks These are the 10 risk scenarios posed by the EIU: The worsening ties between the United States and China forces a total separation in the world economy The unexpectedly rapid monetary tightening leads to a crash in the US stock market. A real estate slump in China leads to a sharp economic slowdown Tighter domestic and global financial conditions derail recovery in emerging markets New variants of covid-19 emerge that have been shown to be resistant to vaccines Widespread social unrest weighs on global recovery The conflict between China and Taiwan breaks out, forcing the United States to intervene Ties between the European Union and China worsen significantly Severe droughts cause famine An interstate cyberwar paralyzes public infrastructure in major economies "These risks are more serious than those we have analyzed in the last three or four years," Nicholas Fitzroy, senior analyst at the EIU, tells BBC Mundo. Not only because the threats are more intense, but because they occur in an economic context marked by the effects of the covid-19 pandemic. Among them, rising inflation. When comparing the different regions of the world, the most difficult recoveries will be in countries where vaccination programs are progressing at a very slow pace, says the expert. On the other hand, those countries most exposed to inflationary pressures will also have more to start the economic engine. And those with a strong supply of imported products will be more exposed to dependence on difficulties, as has happened to Europe, for example, with the import of gas. The three most likely scenarios When looking at the combined probability and impact of the various scenarios, Fitzroy argues, there are three of them that are at the highest risk level. "Widespread social unrest is the scenario most likely to occur," argues Fitzroy. It is a trend that was present in 2019 in different regions of the world and that has a high possibility of returning, he explains, considering that economic inequality has increased with the economic recession that the world faced as a result of the pandemic. The other two scenarios are closely related to inflation and tighter monetary policies that drive up interest rates. "There may be a fall in the US stock market. In terms of probability, it is an increasingly significant risk," says the economist. And the third most likely scenario is that tighter domestic and global financial conditions, with higher interest rates, derail the recovery in emerging markets.

The elephant "Trompita" opens a gift box with fruits at the La Aurora Zoo in Guatemala City, on October 29, 2021. As part of the Day of the Dead and Halloween celebrations, zookeepers fed the animals with fruits decorated with scary images and gifts filled with cereals or grains. It is a holiday for "Trompita". The elephant's breakfast came in a gift box with the face of a ghost. Like her, lemurs, meerkats, bears and monkeys received presents with fruits and grains for Halloween at the La Aurora zoo in Guatemala. "We encourage the animal through textures, sense of smell, taste, to be able to get them out of the routine and that they can be well both physically and mentally," says the marketing manager of this park and organizer of the celebrations. , Ana Lucía Vásquez. Taking advantage of the holiday, "we add part of other special diets to take them out of the day to day and that the zoo visitor can see the work of veterinarians, nutritionists and caretakers," he details A brown bear eats a piranha-shaped watermelon at La Aurora Zoo in Guatemala City on October 29, 2021.

Claudio Domenicali, Ducati CEO, has spoken openly about future Ducati electric motorcycles in a short interview with Cycle World, revealing some clues about them. Ducati is, perhaps, the most passionate and visceral motorcycle manufacturer of all those who are currently among the main players in the sector. For this reason, the entry of Ducati into the market niche made up of electric motorcycles is awaited with special interest, a step that with the irruption of the Italian firm in MotoE has only come very close. Last week we gave the news that Ducati was handing over to Energica as the main supplier of components and engineering for the electric motorcycles that run in this championship. A fact that will materialize in 2023. This has been the premise under which in Cycle World they have interviewed the CEO of Ducati, Claudi Domenicali, this being one of the first occasions in which the Italian firm speaks openly about electric motorcycles in its street range. In it, the Italian manager shows his position regarding the current situation of the transport sector towards more sustainable energies, making it clear that Ducati is predisposed to face the transition by taking command in terms of technology, principally which is why they will become the authors of MotoE electric motorcycles from 2023. In this sense, Domenicali commented in the interview: "We are interested in using MotoE as a laboratory to study and develop technology. Battery, inverter and electric powertrain technology is evolving rapidly and we want to be in the front row to experiment, develop and be ready when the real race begins. " Cycle World did not hesitate to ask the Ducati CEO about plans to mass-produce its first electric motorcycle, a question that has been plaguing the Italian brand for years. Domenicali responded to this: "Ducati is always focused on the future, and every time it enters a new world, it does so to create the product with the best possible performance. The situation of electric thrusters, because they allowed us to experiment in a good field. known and controlled like the one of the competition of. to prepare this transition. " Domenicale also pointed out that in order to stand as one of the references in this "electric age" it was not only necessary to enjoy state-of-the-art electric motor and battery technology, but also to have a recharging network at the height of the circumstances, revealing so they want their electric scooters to have fast charging technology. "In this sense, in southern Europe, for example, there is still a lot of work to be done. In addition to a diffuse network, fast charging is also another key point."

HAVANA (AP) - The impact of the coronavirus pandemic and US sanctions caused the Cuban economy - since 2020 and so far this year - to lose 13% of its Gross Domestic Product, the head of the bouquet, Alejandro Gil. Gil appeared on Wednesday before the deputies of the National Assembly of People's Power - Parliament - and also indicated that 2.4 billion dollars were stopped entering the national coffers in 2020, which must be added to the 700 million so far this period, especially due to the stoppage of tourism. “We are talking that in a period of almost two years we have lost more than 3 billion dollars. The economy has been almost resisting, ”he was quoted as saying by the official Cubadebate portal, which reported on the ministerial appearance. "It is not possible that he does not feel in the daily life of Cubans." Long lines, shortages and shortages have been part of the daily life of Cubans for months, who also suffered blackouts and the difficulties added by the limitations imposed by the pandemic, such as social isolation and suspended or spaced transportation. The island's economy practically came to a standstill in these 19 months, especially in tourism, an engine of finances that was immobilized by border closures and suspension of commercial flights. In addition, exportable goods such as tobacco and rum did not comply with their foreign sales plan, Gil indicates, although nickel maintains a stable level and its international price is higher than expected. During a press conference in mid-October, the minister had indicated that a growth of 2% of its GDP was estimated for this year by 2021. On this occasion before the deputies, Gil indicated that the country had to spend 1,300 million dollars this year in the purchase of food and highlighted the non-compliance in the national production of key regions such as rice, corn, beans, milk and meats such as that of pork, staples of the island's basket. The official also indicated that there was a "disorder in international logistics" in world markets, as the island, even with paid containers, could not bring them yet due to both the complications of the pandemic and the sanctions that the United States imposes on Havana and it hinder purchases abroad. At the same time, he defended the dollar stores, opened in recent months to attract foreign currency and which generated a lot of irritation among Cubans, since it forces them to acquire basic goods in these stores - the State has a monopoly on the retail supply -, even without counting with the currency, so you must go to the black market to obtain it. He also recognized that inflation is one of the main problems for the island's economy. The Caribbean nation is expected to experience a reactivation as of November 15 with the opening of its borders and a progressive regularization of tourism and other items, in line with a drop in cases of infected with the virus and a massive immunization campaign. from the products Soberana 02, Soberana Plus and Abdala, of national invoice. Gil reported that from September to date, when the possibility of legalizing small and medium-sized private companies was opened for the first time in five decades, 210 of these firms and seven cooperatives were approved.

There are species that most people consider a little daring and that actually far exceed our expectations. Intelligence is defined as the mental faculty that makes living beings capable of understanding, learning, making decisions, reasoning and forming an idea of the reality in which they live and develop. Some animals do not surprise us with their abilities, since it has been dedicated to researching them for decades, however there are other species that most people consider a little daring and that actually far exceed our expectations. The ant is the insect with the greatest brain mass and all this together with a great social sense, with the ability to transmit knowledge from one to another, transforms them into a super organism that stands out. Among their skills stand out that they teach the paths that must be traveled to find food and in the colony each ant has a specific task that facilitates the survival of the entire group, details the article: Twelve animals that stand out for their amazing intelligence, published on the Infobae portal. As regards the chimpanzee, with its own language and surprising memory, it is capable of giving meaning to objects or signs by combining them to convey an idea, while dogs, although their level of intelligence may vary depending on the breed, individuals or miscegenation, are able to acquire new knowledge and learn all kinds of tasks and actions in a simple way. With the elephant their memory stands out, but they are also capable of creating especially complex interactions between them and of bonding in the herd, achieving striking behaviors, reads the article written by Dr. Juan Enrique Romero. The parrot is a bird capable of associating a huge range of complex sounds to a specific object or behavior, in addition to objects to get food or act in groups to solve problems, another bird is the raven, like primates, they are capable of solve problems, adapt and change their behavior in the face of new situations. In the kingdom of the felines is the cat that thanks to its complex sensory system, great agility and learning capacity is another of the animals chosen for its intelligence. For its part, the pig can recognize their names, obey, memorize situations and use all that knowledge. Rats are extremely intelligent animals, they learn, memorize and assimilate complex concepts, and can even respond to their own name. In the marine world the dolphin is at the top, they have the proportionally larger brain in the animal world and their great intelligence allows them to have a notion of their own identity by recognizing themselves, solving problems, transmitting knowledge from generation to generation and developing a complex language. As the octopus is the most intelligent invertebrate animal in the world with a great capacity for learning and enormous neurological development, it has been able to develop extraordinary abilities, learn from its mistakes and solve problems. Killer whales are capable of emitting a wide variety of sounds to communicate and interact with their peers, coordinating to solve problems. However, there are many more animals that have great abilities, such as orangutans, sharks, magpies, stingrays, hawks, among others.

For many years, especially since the validation to carry motorcycles up to 125 with a car license came into force in 2004 (with at least three years old), 125 scooters have dominated the best-seller lists in Spain. Between them and their brothers over 125, there is no doubt which is the type of motorcycle that dominates the sales numbers (scooters), but ... and without telling them, what type of motorcycle is the best seller? ? Per displacement: less is more If we first analyze sales based on the displacement of the motorcycles, we will see that the smaller it is, the more it sells. It is logical, because in addition to the 125 phenomenon, it is normal that the "bigger" the motorcycle is, the higher its price and the lower its sales. Regarding the 125, note the great change in potential customers: in Spain there are more than 12 million people with a car license (who can carry a 125) compared to about 3 million people with a motorcycle license (A2 or A ), and in fact many of those cards are not "operational". Ask older people to see what license they have and you will discover many "motorists" who have never ridden on two wheels (my own mother without going any further), and it is that for many years when they got their car license they obtained the motorcycle license automatically ... Some things with others, in large numbers we have a ratio of almost 10 to 1 between the people who can drive a 125 and the motorcycles with a larger displacement. During the first half of 2021, some 41,000 motorcycles (and scooters) of up to 125 cc were sold, compared to 26,000 of the next step (up to 750 cc) and 14,000 units of more than 750 cubic centimeters. So, in large numbers, for each large displacement motorcycle two "medium" and four small ones (125) are sold in Spain. Mopeds represent a very small part since the regulations changed (15 years and license), a shame when in their day they were not only the best sellers but a perfect gateway to motorcycles (and to learn to circulate and be better drivers in the future). By type: trail and naked dominate Within the first semester of 2021, the general sales figures show a majority of scooter sales (about 40,000 registered of that type) compared to 37,000 "road" motorcycles (it is very generic to distinguish transfers) and 4,000 of field (in pure off-road principle). We have to go to the sales figures by model to be able to analyze which is the type of motorcycle that is the most sold in Spain, but it takes very little time to appreciate the two most dominant ones. Clearly our market favorites are trail and naked. In 2020, two of the three best sellers were naked: the Kawasaki Z900 and the Yamaha MT07. The third step of the "podium" was for a trail (and not a small one precisely), the BMW R 1250 GS, and if we add its sales to those of its sister Adventure (sixth in the ranking) they equal the Z900. In that 2020 ranking there are another trail and another naked in the top five, both Honda CB500 (the R and the X). And among the first ten, more trail: Yamaha Ténéré 700, Honda X-ADV (halfway between scooter and trail) or also Honda Africa Twin and NC 750 X. And among the following ten, more trail: Benelli TRK 502 o Suzuki V-Strom. It is clear that the trail is the queens of the market, with the permission of the scooters, and followed by the naked. The others, far Already behind them would be the "retro", that is, those naked with a particular style, and also the custom ones, well represented by the po[CENSORED]r Honda Rebel 500 but without more models among the best sellers, already more dispersed at the bottom of the table. . The same happens with sports cars: in their day they were the queens of the market, not only the most desired (they were sold), but those days have gone back and they have remained as very specialized motorcycles perhaps (circuit) and, therefore, minority . In fact, the best sellers are the Honda CBR 650 R and the Kawasaki Ninja 650 (which are more "sport" than "RR") and among the 125 the Yamaha R125 dominates. The best-selling pure supercar is the BMW S 1000 RR (about 90 units sold in the first six months of 2021). Link: https://www.moto1pro.com/actualidad/superventas-que-tipo-de-motos-se-venden-mas

Hello

Happy Brithday!!

The National Institute of Statistics and Censuses (INEC) published the National Survey of Employment, Unemployment and Underemployment (ENEMDU) and established significant statistical differences in the percentages of adequate employment and unemployment, between September 2020 and September 2021. The adequate employment rate as of September 2020 is 30.8% and as of September 2021 it is 33.5%. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate as of September 2020 is 6.2% and as of September 2021 it is 4.9%. The underemployment rate in September 2020 was 24.4% and in September 2021, 22.7%; of “other non-full employment” was 26.2% in September 2020 and 27.6% in September of this year. Finally, the unpaid employment rate was 11.8% in September 2020 and 10.8% in September 2021. After several processes of methodological adjustments that make it impossible to compare, for example, the statistical data for the second and third quarters of this year, the INEC re-published, after seven months, the quarterly statistics of the five main cities in the country. Thus, among Quito, Guayaquil, Cuenca, Ambato and Machala, Quito continues to be the city with the highest unemployment rate with 11.5% in the third quarter of this year (July, August, September). Guayaquil with 4.3%, Cuenca with 7.6%, Machala with 8.1% and Ambato with 6.3%. Regarding adequate employment in the third quarter of this year: Quito has 45.6%, Guayaquil with 44.6%, Cuenca with 52.9%, Machala 43.5% and Ambato with 38.7%. Roberto Castillo, director of the INEC, said that the vaccination plan has achieved the reactivation of the economy and that explains the statistics. In addition, it explains that the monthly unemployment level in May was 6.3%, which meant approximately 538,000 unemployed people; in September, the figure closed at 4.9%, which represents approximately 412,000 unemployed people. The variation between May and September is 125,000 fewer people in unemployment. Meanwhile, adequate employment, between May and June, the number of people with adequate employment increased by 275,000, of these new people with adequate employment, 125,000 in May were unemployed and the 150,000 that would be needed to reach 275,000 are people who in May They had a job but earned less than the minimum wage and now they have a job but earn more than $ 400.

The Cabrils Animal Shelter (Maresme) is already up and running. Thanks to participatory budgets and the will of the City Council, Cabrils has this center that is managed by the Daina Foundation, the foundation of the Mataró Animal Protection Society, with the aim of being a welfare space for the animals taken in. The government of the Cabrils City Council and the Daina Foundation resulted in a relationship based on protectionist action through the establishment of common animal welfare projects and awareness of the reality that abandoned animals go through and raising awareness of what responsible ownership entails. It was therefore necessary that the Animal Shelter was in optimal conditions to carry out its functions correctly. For this reason, it was decided to carry out a remodeling and expansion work to guarantee that the animals were in the best conditions during their stay at the center . The Daina Foundation, which manages three shelters located in Mataró, Badalona and Cabrils and the Veterinary Space, in Mataró, locates its protectionist action basically in the Maresme, which facilitates effective and efficient management. The Daina Foundation is grateful for the work done by Adainc, the local protector and the volunteers who have managed the municipal service for years. The CAAC is located in the Industrial Zone Calle A, no. 5 of the town, has a total of 16 cages, two playgrounds for dogs, a cat flap and a multipurpose space at the entrance of the enclosure. It also has an office and services. By making maximum use of the hours of sunshine, together with the warm weather of the Maresme, the center will be improved in a second phase, to finish adapting all the needs of the animals and to properly serve the staff and volunteers who work. For now, the renovation of the center has involved an investment of 35,000 euros, coming from Participatory Budgets, and an investment of 50,000 euros. The opening ceremony was chaired by the mayor, Maite Viñals; the Councilor for Animal Welfare, Pedro Sáez; the SPAM volunteer coordinator, Núria García; and the president of the Daina Foundation, Sílvia Serra.

Zero Motorcycles is the world leader in electric motorcycles and powertrains. Designed and handcrafted in California, these bikes combine Silicon Valley technology with the traditional soul of motorcycles. They are motorcycles that delight the experience of riding for knowledgeable and innovative riders around the world. In the Basque Country, Zero is part of LEM (Lurauto Electric Mobility), a division created for mini and micro mobility, located in both Gipuzkoa and Vizcaya. Zero is the first brand in the market with the highest performance in the world of electric motorcycles, we could say that their motorcycles are the flagship within the sector. The key to its success is its solid range and incredible performance that has nothing to envy of any combustion vehicle. Currently we can find and test the range of zero emission motorcycles made up of eight models, 12 versions, including the three of 11 kW accessible with the A1 or B license. The most interesting models could be the SR / F, with a starting price of € 21,440, the DS whose price starts at € 16,830 or the FX / E, the cheapest with a price of € 14,480. It should be noted that Zero Motorcycles has renewed part of its range of motorcycles, specifically the S, DS and DSR, in which it keeps the mechanical part practically intact and now offers a new Cypher II operating system that makes them more technological than ever. In addition, the Zero S maintains the same passively cooled Z-Force 75-5 electric motor that is capable of developing 34 kW (46 hp) and 106 Nm of torque, with which it can reach 158 km / h. It also maintains the 7.2 kWh lithium-ion battery that offers a range of 143 kilometers in predominantly urban use. DS and DSR are also updated. The DS 2022 maintains the Z-Force 75-5 engine, whose top speed is 158 km / h and the range is 132 kilometers on mixed routes, including off-road scenarios. The DSR, with powers of 52 kW (70 hp), a torque of 157 Nm and a range of 262 kilometers. Although for many the price of these motorcycles may be somewhat high, once we test the motorcycles, it ceases to be. In addition to offering complete financing packages, we have to understand that its manufacture is manual and practically handmade. Without a doubt, the best thing is to try them, without any commitment, both in Lurauto Donosti, in front of the Kursaal, and in the Bilbao store.

The loans granted by Fondepes are aimed at workers in this sector who do not have financing opportunities, to refloat, equip and modernize their productive activities. With the aim of continuing to provide financial support to the artisanal fishing sector and mitigate the negative effects generated by COVID-19, the Executive Branch published this Saturday the Urgency Decree No. 097-2021 in the Official El Peruano in which it approves a series of transfers of resources for more than S / 5 million. According to the regulations, it establishes that budgetary modifications be made within the Fondepes for S / 2′223,469. Parallel to this, the Ministry of Production is authorized to transfer S / 3 million to said institution. The total amount will be channeled by the National Fisheries Development Fund (Fondepes) to finance the granting of loans and S / 223,469 for the operating expenses generated by them. These credits granted by Fondepes are aimed at artisanal fishing workers who do not have financing opportunities, through the provision of goods and services that allow them to refloat, equip and modernize their productive activities. With this, the country's fishermen can increase their income and improve the living conditions of both themselves and their families. It should be noted that the assets financed in credit by Fondepes have been affected by the increase in the dollar, since the inputs required by said sector such as: marine engines, fishing gear, communication equipment, navigation equipment, among others, They are imported and this impacts the amount of each loan requested.

Preventing domestic cats from roaming free is key to preventing disease outbreaks in wild animals. In most of the world, domestic cats are treated as a danger to wildlife. The most iconic case is that of Australia: after arriving on the continent in 1788 aboard English ships, feral cats have multiplied and today they are one of the main threats to native species. It is estimated that more than a million reptiles per day are killed by cats in Australia, while a study ensures that feral cats are linked to the extinction of 25 species of mammals and the risk of disappearance of at least 124 other Australian species. However, the danger that cats pose to native species is not limited to hunting small mammals, birds and reptiles: new research published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B analyzed a group of 45,000 cases of toxoplasmosis among wild mammals. of 238 different species, with the aim of finding the key factors that influence the prevalence of the parasite. According to New Scientist, the team found a high prevalence of toxoplasmosis associated with an increase in temperature, increased rainfall, and especially an unsuspected factor: living near urban areas. Although more studies are needed to fully understand the problem, scientists directly linked urban areas with the presence of the main host of toxoplasmosis: domestic cats. What is toxoplasmosis and how is it transmitted? Toxoplasmosis is caused by a common parasite that can be found in contaminated food and water; however, domestic and wild cats are its main reservoir. Toxoplasma gondii is present in the feces of an infected cat and can be spread by coming into contact with their feces. In humans, it is a benign disease and it is estimated that between 30 and 50% of the po[CENSORED]tion have this parasite; However, it is a disease that rarely requires treatment and in most cases goes unnoticed, as the immune system fights it efficiently. However, in pregnant women or people with a weakened immune system, toxoplasmosis can cause symptoms similar to the complaint and in rare cases, serious, life-threatening complications. The study adds to other research looking at the harmful effects on wildlife of domestic cats roaming free in cities and rural areas. In the case of toxoplasmosis, the team considers responsible management of cats essential to avoid the spread of the parasite and, above all, to minimize the risk of an outbreak of this and other diseases in wild animals.

The Hyundai Ioniq 5 is the new mid-size CUV from the Korean firm. Cousin brother of the KIA EV6, it stands out for its autonomy of up to 686 kilometers in the city and unique details, such as its roof with photovoltaic solar panels. Specifically, today we get behind the wheel during the national presentation of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 73 kWh 218 hp 2WD. The new Ioniq 5 has been developed on the new brand-specific architecture for battery electric vehicles. Christened the Electric Global Modular Platform (E-GMP), it allows the compact to show off unique proportions, with a long wheelbase, an innovative interior design, high performance and the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) function. Probably what catches your attention the most is its futuristic design. It looks like a prototype both inside and out, which is sure to appeal to a lot of buyers. Its rivals include the aforementioned KIA EV6, with which it shares many components; as well as the Škoda Enyaq iV, Volkswagen ID.4, Ford Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model Y. Hyundai's goal is that all cars sold by 2035 in Europe are zero emissions. They want to achieve carbon neutrality in their production in 2045. It does not seem difficult that they will achieve it, because currently, in addition to traditional diesel and gasoline, they already have PHEV, MHEV, FCEV, HEV and EV in their product portfolio . Exterior design The design of the Hyundai Ioniq 5 evokes the daring attitude of the Hyundai Pony, the company's first production model. It is also inspired by the boldness of the 45 EV Concept and redefines the timeless design concept. This theme will be expanded as the Ioniq range grows. It is characterized by clean and sharp lines, with a minimalist design language. It is undeniable that it is loaded with personality. The front is fitted with Hyundai's first clamshell hood and V-shaped headlamp placement. The 256-pixel Full LED headlights feature distinctive daytime running lights (DRL). These small pixel-shaped clusters are also present at the rear of the vehicle. The front and rear shapes of the vehicle merge at the doors, offering a new example of the "Parametric Dynamics" design. Flush retractable handles offer a clean surface and improved aerodynamic efficiency. The C-pillar has a robust shape, inclined at 45º. The windows are tinted and the glass area is wide. In dimensions, it reaches 4.63 meters long, 1.89 meters wide and 1.60 meters high. The wheelbase is 3,000 mm, making it the widest in the segment. The front and rear tracks measure 1,628 and 1,637 mm, respectively. For the body we can choose from nine colors, including five shades inspired by nature. The finishes are multiple, being able to choose between solid, metallic, pearl and matte. In this case we see the pearly Phantom Black. At the rear, horizontality is very present. While the KIA EV6 has opted for sportiness, elegance is reflected in the Ioniq 5, although the marked bumpers and roof spoiler with black fins add a distinctive touch.
