The Ecuadorian Pedro Aguinaga Prócel won the bronze medal in the South American Youth Fencing Championship, which concluded this weekend in the Colombian city of Ibagué. Aguinaga, 14, assured Efe this Sunday that he feels "very proud" to have won the medal for Ecuador in the pre-cadet category 13-15 years old, in the South American, in which he was also measured against other competitors in the cadet categories 15-17 years and youth 16-20 years. "I feel quite proud, as Ecuador is not a country where fencing is practiced a lot, it is very strange that we get medals in South America, I feel very proud," he stressed. The South American medal is the third in his international record after two golds and one silver achieved in a tournament in the German city of Neukirchen, in March 2020. At the national level, he has been a three-time champion in the youth category and has achieved a dozen medals in total. After the medal in the South American in Ibagué, which took place between October 9 and 16, the Ecuadorian hopes to have the possibility of participating in the Pan American Games in Cali, which will take place next December, a decision that is in the hands of the Ecuadorian Fencing Federation. The Ecuadorian, who started fencing at the age of 9, trains five hours a day: two in the morning in physical work and three in the afternoon with fencing technique.

The fall of all world economies due to the COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc in the vast majority of countries on the planet. With the arrival of the vaccine, the data for this 2021 have improved considerably, reflecting a significant increase especially if we compare it with the statistics of the past 2020. In the case of Morocco, the latest indicators show a growth of 15.2% compared to last year's data, with agriculture as the main booming sector, which is more than 18% above the 2020 data. "The recovery must continue, supported by the notable progress of the vaccination campaign, the very good agricultural season, the budgetary stimulus, as well as the accommodative stance of the monetary policy," says the statement that accompanies the report issued by Bank Al -Maghrib, the central bank of the Alawite kingdom. In fact, the latest report from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows that Morocco has broken its record for wheat production in 2021, making possible a reduction in imports of soft and hard wheat, needing almost one ton less than in 2020, when it imported just over five million tons. The global cereal harvest is expected to exceed 10 million tons, leading to an increase of almost 19% in agricultural value added. The Moroccan central bank's growth projection indicates that GDP could increase by 6.2% this year, almost one point more than last quarter's calculations. However, although it is also growing, the non-agricultural economy lags much further behind, without reaching 5% growth compared to last year's data, although its added value has soared more than 14% compared to 2020. "In 2022, growth should consolidate at 3%, covering a 3.3% drop in agricultural value added, under the assumption of a return to average cereal production, and a 3.6% increase in these. non-agricultural activities ”, they say from the Bank Al-Maghrib. The main reason that has driven the growth of agriculture has been the change in trend with respect to the drought that reduced crops during the past year. This drought, together with the collapse of tourism, caused a loss of more than 430,000 jobs and a 7% recession that is now being tried to combat with the improvement of the health situation. Morocco hopes to continue with this upward trajectory that has led it to improve its forecasts for the end of the year. For this they know that they cannot trust everything to the agricultural sector and that they know that “this behavior (of the crops) is mainly due to the abundant rains during the cereal growing season,” as the USDA pointed out. They have already launched different initiatives to accompany agricultural growth with that of other sectors. One of these movements is the one presented at Expo Dubai 2020 called “Marocco Now”, with the intention of promoting investment in Morocco and its commercial representation.

More than 800 researchers assure that the draft of the preliminary draft law for the protection of animals is "deeply misguided and erroneous" due to its contradictions and because it collides with existing regulations Like us, many animals experience feelings and emotions that we can easily recognize in species with which we share millions of years of evolution (like many primates) or thousands of years of living together (like cats and dogs). Such recognition generates empathy, hence, many people seek the best luck of the animals in which they recognize themselves. In society, this claim must be given the form of regulations. In this sense, it is to be applauded that the Government of Spain works to promote animal welfare. However, the Draft Law on the Protection and Rights of Animals, recently released by the General Directorate of Animal Rights of the Ministry of Social Rights and Agenda 2030, seems to us, despite its intention, deeply misguided and erroneous . The presented text attempts to regulate a complex and diverse range of situations based on the welfare objectives of a few species, mainly cats, dogs and horses. This, and the confusing and careless use that it makes of the terms "animal" (which it does not define), "companion animal" and "domestic animal", carries a great number of absurdities and contradictions. For example, in its current wording, Article 70 would prohibit filming nature documentaries that show the suffering of any of the main animals (something common in practically all documentaries); Or, what is more striking, 83 would impose fines of between 100,000 and 600,000 euros for intentionally killing "an animal", ignoring that many animals, such as rats, mosquitoes or intestinal parasites, without going any further, are usually lethally controlled. In its eagerness to cover, the draft conflicts with Spanish and European regulations and strategies for the conservation of biodiversity. For example, it is expected to generate a list of species that may be companion animals (positive list), informed by a Scientific and Technical Committee for Animal Protection. This invades the scope of Royal Decree 630/2013 that regulates the Spanish Catalog of Invasive Exotic Species, once informed by a Scientific Committee that advises the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge. On the other hand, the text of the preliminary draft prohibits on several occasions the activities of control and eradication of invasive species that imply the death of animals, which collides with various programs protected by the aforementioned Royal Decree, and directly violates Union directives European that is compulsory. The draft also regulates the possession and reproduction of exotic species in captivity, which would undoubtedly pose a serious risk to many wild po[CENSORED]tions. To take a close example, no one is hidden from the deep-rooted custom of keeping ornamental and exotic birds in cage. In 2017, some 49 million of these birds were in captivity in the EU and recently about seven million, belonging to a thousand different species, in Spain. What perhaps very few readers know, and of course the drafters of the draft seem to ignore, is that while caging a bird captured in the wild is suffering, this is not the case for a specimen born in captivity. The “natural” habitat for canaries or parrots that we see today is the cage where they were born. In fact, if they escape or are released, their destiny is almost always death, because they do not know how to adapt to the state of freedom. Fortunately, the EU prohibited in 2005 (EC Regulation No. 318/2007) the importation of wild birds for health reasons, a prohibition that was later reinforced by Spain to prevent biological invasions (RD 1628/2011). The society responded positively by reproducing exotic birds in captivity and creating, in a collateral way, an effective conservation tool that goes beyond our borders. In Spain, and the EU as a whole, we have not only avoided the importation of millions of wild-caught birds by supplying ourselves with specimens born in captivity, but we have also become the main exporters to other countries, thus reducing the danger. extinction of numerous species due to the global trade in wild individuals. Limiting captive breeding of these species, practiced by more than a million Spaniards, to the point of impossible, should not only have a strong economic and social impact in our country, but would also represent a serious step backwards for the global conservation of the species. birds . In the drafting of the preliminary draft, numerous other scientific studies that indicate harmful social effects and on the conservation of wild fauna have not been taken into account in the event that their proposals were carried out. This is the case with the special attention (an exclusive chapter and numerous articles) that the text of for what it calls feline colonies. These groups of domestic cats occur in places with an abundance of food, generally provided by people considered in the text as "caretakers" of the colonies. The availability of food does not make those colonial cats in good condition. In fact, they are in worse physical shape and live on average less than solitary stray cats (and of course, much less and much worse than house cats). But whatever their condition and way of life, cats do not stop hunting. Cats kill huge numbers of animals. In 2013 it was estimated that each year, in the US alone, about 2.5 billion birds and more than 12 billion mammals die in the jaws of cats. These figures exceed those of animals hunted by humans and those estimated to be run over by road traffic. The impact of cats is also very important on reptile po[CENSORED]tions, being one of the main threats to endangered species, such as giant lizards and other canarian reptiles. Cats are also potential vectors of diseases that can pass to people (toxoplasmosis and other parasites) and to wildlife, as demonstrated by the feline leukemia outbreak that almost wiped out the Doñana Iberian lynx po[CENSORED]tion in 2007. The feline colonies, where cats do not live following the social organization of these felines, since they are found in abnormally high densities and interact intensely, they function as centers of contagion and spread of these diseases. We believe that the intention of the bill to inventory and maintain the cat colonies and the number of individuals that occupy them (at the expense of municipal budgets) in the long term is meaningless. We understand and share the sensitivity that these animals generate and the desire that management actions consider the well-being of each individual. But the objective must be to reduce to the minimum possible and in the short term the number of domestic cats that live in freedom in our cities and fields (and that of dogs, by the way). people (toxoplasmosis and other parasites) and wildlife, as demonstrated by the feline leukemia outbreak that nearly wiped out the Doñana Iberian lynx po[CENSORED]tion in 2007. Feline colonies, where cats do not live following the organization These felines' social social characteristics, since they are found in abnormally high densities and interact intensely, function as centers of contagion and spread of these diseases. We believe that the intention of the bill to inventory and maintain the cat colonies and the number of individuals that occupy them (at the expense of municipal budgets) in the long term is meaningless. We understand and share the sensitivity that these animals generate and the desire that management actions consider the well-being of each individual. But the objective must be to reduce to the minimum possible and in the short term the number of domestic cats that live in freedom in our cities and fields (and that of dogs, by the way). The draft also collides with biodiversity conservation strategies when it is limited to the area that should be its competence, such as domestic animals owned by a person. This is the case with working dogs and the coexistence between wolf and cattle, for example. Mastiffs have historically been a fundamental tool for the protection of extensive livestock against large predators. For the mastiffs to have the impulse to protect the cattle, they must be raised with it, from puppies, and for the protection to be effective they must always remain with the cattle. Current regulations do not assign a special category to these working dogs, which is already causing problems for breeders who use mastiffs. But the situation will become untenable if the bill, which imposes a minimum age for canine work (18 months) and a maximum time of solitude (without a human) of the dog of 24 hours, is successful. Prohibiting farmers from accessing one of the best protection tools against predation can lead to increased rejection of the wolf. Halting the loss of biodiversity is a relevant objective of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. No matter how noble the purpose, ensuring the welfare of a few nearby animals cannot be done at the cost of the suffering of a multitude of animals that we do not see or with whom we do not empathize, much less the deterioration of the biodiversity necessary for the survival of all. What is exposed here are just a few examples. We believe that the draft law made public by the Ministry of Social Rights and the 2030 Agenda should be withdrawn, as it collides with numerous regulations in force and prevents harmonizing the welfare of domestic animals with the conservation of biodiversity. It is necessary to work on a new proposal that is clearly focused on domestic companion animals, and to do so with the critical support of experts in wildlife conservation.

Formula E is not another car competition, but rather it opens the door to a technological laboratory that drives Innovation, promotes the purchase and use of electric cars around the world. Julia Pallé, Director of Sustainability of Formula E, described exclusively for Forbes Mexico that in July 2020 this championship became the first in the world to obtain ISO20121 certification, by the external certification body SGS, being the only championship of motor sports with this recognition by not emitting carbon dioxide or CO2. “Formula E is more than an electric car championship because it was created by two different important pillars: on the one hand racing and on the other hand the reason for sustainability. The objective of having created the championship is to promote electrical technology and help the world have a more sustainable lifestyle and this is reflected in the championship ”, he reiterated. The directive explained that the cars that are part of Formula E are powered mostly by hydrogen-treated vegetable oil and recognized that the development of electric cars in the last 10 years has become a successful alternative to boost the clean mobility and free of CO2 emissions. “Formula E was created not because we needed another car championship but because we needed a technological laboratory to accelerate technology and it is the reason why Formula E has more manufacturing because it is the opportunity to and test the technology that they are going to transmit in the cars that tomorrow to drive and drive ”, added Pallé. Formula E will take place in Mexico City on February 12, 2022 at the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez. In addition, it currently has an agreement with UNICEF to guarantee the fight against climate change through CO2 compensation programs. "We have a project in Mexico that will last three years to help three cities have projects in schools to help children so that they can build a more sustainable future, with measures from schools to combat climate change." The Formula E board assured that its main ambitions are to use 100% renewable energy for the Championship. “In 2020 we achieved this status as the first sport in the world to be carbon free and it is the result of six years of understanding the sources of emissions from the championship. We did our own scientific studies to have the data and with we have taken actions to reduce the impact that the championship generates with renewable energy, we do not use plastics and the work we have done with DHL ”. He also reiterated that it is key to maintain dialogues with governments to promote infrastructure that allows vehicles to be loaded, in addition to investing in infrastructure that promotes the use of these cars. "It is very encouraging that automakers are moving towards the electric future and it gives me hope that politicians will push for laws to end the sale of motor vehicles because something super important is that governments have pressure from the United Nations to" lower C02 emissions or almost a third of global emissions ", concluded Pallé. For the 9 series, Formula E will integrate the vehicles with an increase in power that will go from 250 kW that allows 100 km / h in just 2.8 seconds, to 300 kW.

From meat in Tokyo to chicken fillets in London, consumers are beginning to feel the impact of rising costs on the global economy. The rebound in economic activity following the restrictions imposed by the coronavirus exposed shortages throughout the supply chain. Companies are not finding workers, boats or fuel, which threatens an incipient recovery. Britain's largest poultry producer warned that the country's 20 years of cheap food were coming to an end and that food price inflation could soar into double digits. The world's fifth-largest economy faces a severe shortage of grocers, truckers and butchers, exacerbating global supply chain stresses. "The days when you could feed a family of four a 3-pound (US $ 4) chicken are coming to an end," Ranjit Singh Boparan, owner of 2 Sisters Group, said in a statement. Even in Japan, where weak growth means that the prices of many things, including wages, haven't risen much in decades, consumers and businesses face a price shock for staples like coffee and meat. Japan's core consumer inflation only stopped falling in August, snapping a 12-month deflationary streak. Economists and policy makers expect to see recent price increases reflected in official data in the coming months. In the United States, President Joe Biden on Wednesday urged the private sector to help ease supply chain blockages that threaten to disrupt America's holiday season. Cold front With winter approaching in some parts of the world, prospects look bleak as power supplies dwindle. With cold weather in northern China, coal prices were hovering near record highs amid an energy crisis that is driving unprecedented inflation at factories in the world's second-largest economy. China's growing energy crisis, caused by coal shortages, high fuel prices and a boom in industrial demand after the pandemic, has halted production at numerous factories, including many that supply major global brands such as Apple. High energy prices pushed inflation in China's factories to its highest level in at least 25 years in September, although weak demand limited consumer inflation. So far, there is little sign of an easing in energy costs, with oil prices rising Thursday after a larger-than-expected drop in stocks of gasoline and distillates in the United States. The increase was also supported by expectations that as winter approaches, high natural gas prices will drive a switch to oil to meet heating demand. The International Energy Agency (IEA) said the energy crisis is expected to boost oil demand by half a million barrels per day (bpd) and could fuel inflation and slow the global recovery from the pandemic. In Germany, the country's leading economic institutes cut their joint forecast for 2021 growth in Europe's largest economy to 2.4% from 3.7% because of supply bottlenecks hampering production. In response to the energy price crisis, the White House has been speaking with US oil and gas producers to help reduce rising fuel costs, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters. In the United States, the average retail cost of a gallon of gasoline is at a seven-year high, and fuel costs are expected to rise during the winter, according to the Department of Energy. Oil and gas production remains below the national peak reached in 2019. Dutch digital mapping and navigation company TomTom warned that supply chain problems in the automotive sector could last into the first half of 2022 after it reported a larger-than-expected quarterly core loss. Car production has been hit by a global semiconductor shortage, forcing automakers still recovering from coronavirus disruptions to halt production again.

The president of the Veterinary Collegiate Organization (OCV), Luis Alberto Calvo, has described as "contradictory" and lacking in scientific rigor the draft of the preliminary draft Law of Protection and Rights of animals recently presented by the General Directorate of Animal Welfare of the Ministry of Social Rights and the 2030 Agenda. The representative of the veterinary sector has told Europa Press that the text of the initiative is "surprising" and a "contradiction" that is made "superficially" and by people "who do not know." "I understand that there is good will but little success, because the consequences have not been analyzed," he laments. "We veterinarians do not like it," said Calvo, who sees with perplexity that a law that seeks animal welfare takes away from animals their right to reproduction to guarantee the perpetuity of the species, by forcing their sterilization while For example, it is forbidden to "dock a dog's tail to avoid a problem with his spine." "The law is not designed", criticism of the president of the Veterinary Collegiate Organization, which represents the whole of the sector and which, according to assures, have not been prepared to develop this regulatory project. “We have had meetings for other things but not for this. It is a different procedure, I do not know if strange, "complains Calvo, who considers" the less risky "that the opinion of the veterinary professional association has not been taken into account on this matter. "Maybe they have contacted a veterinary association, but not with the one that represents the group as a whole," he says. Thus, it has announced that when the time comes for the text to be approved as a preliminary draft or bill, the CPO will present arguments to the text. In any case, he affirms that veterinarians are "one hundred percent" in favor of identifying animals, guaranteeing their traceability, their well-being and stopping abuse, but he insists that mandatory sterilization goes against the animal's own welfare, since that their development is prevented with a practice that can have consequences on the health of the animals, both in their growth and in their behavior, by diverting their hormonal development and, for example, female dogs are deprived of their developed maternal instinct. For Calvo, the consequences of the sterilization operation must be explained. "It cannot be sterilized by law, it is a contradiction to the animal's own welfare," he insists. "Another different thing is the regulation of the conditions to have an animal or to be a breeder, for which the first thing is to be trained and guarantee adequate conditions for the type of animal that it is," he adds. Finally, it claims the right to animal health without a VAT of 21 percent, especially when it is adding to the owners the obligation to make periodic visits to the veterinarian that warns that many people will not be able to pay. "The right to health is for the animals and the owners, to guarantee adequate assistance", reiterates Calvo, who justifies why the Government has made "decisions without counting on the sector."

Kawasaki evidently plans to offer only electric and hybrid motorcycles by 2035. In addition, the brand will begin to explore hydrogen. The famous Japanese brand Kawasaki wants to offer a range of electric and hybrid motorcycles from 2035, at least in markets such as Japan, Europe, the United States, Australia and Canada. In addition, the firm will begin to explore hydrogen internal combustion systems. That said, the plan will begin to 'catch up' in 2025, with the launch of at least ten electric and hybrid motorcycles, as well as four electrified four-wheel models. To start this project, the firm wants to develop a new battery technology and enter the world of hydrogen technology, in order to know the viability of this system in motorcycles. Data Likewise, the brand confirmed its interest in the field of hydrogen-powered engines, due to the fact that polluting emissions are very low. The main component of exhaust gases are nitrogen oxides and trace amounts of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and particulates. With this, the brand confirms its ambitious electrification plan among the most traditional and important motorcycle brands in the world. Well, Honda will launch its first three electric models in 2024, although it has not yet announced whether it will offer an exclusively electric range. In fact, Yamaha is focused on reducing its carbon footprint by 50% by 2030, and by 90% by 2050, making the majority of its motorcycles electric. Regarding the subject, Yasuhiko Hashimoto, president of Kawasaki, announced that: “For motorcycle users, the experience of the sound and vibration of the engine is very important. We want to keep the fun of these bikes in a carbon neutral era. " Link: https://www.elcarrocolombiano.com/dos-ruedas/kawasaki-presentara-sus-primeras-motos-hibridas-y-electricas-en-2025/

The star Lionel Messi could not show off his genius, but the Argentine soccer team had the scoring power of Lautaro Martínez to beat Peru 1-0 on Thursday, which sold its defeat dearly but moved away from the classification to Qatar-2022 World Cup. Albiceleste's goal was scored with a header by 'El Torito' Martínez in the 43rd minute. La Bicolor lost the opportunity to draw with a penalty kick crashed on the crossbar by Yoshimar Yotún, at 65, at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires. By date 12, Argentina (25 points) was consolidated as an escort for the leader Brazil (28). Both teams have pending the resolution of the match suspended in Sao Paulo due to invasion of the court by anticovid sanitary inspectors. Peru (11) dropped to ninth place, further away from the standings. The game was played before 35,000 fans, a capacity of 50% due to the coronavirus pandemic. Peruvian wall La Bicolor had fought possession of the ball against Albiceleste. The Argentine coach of the Peruvians, Ricardo Gareca, knew that Argentina is not comfortable without the ball. That is why Christofer Gonzáles, Christian Cueva and Raziel Garcia triangulated in the middle. But he had Gianluca Lapadula only against the world on the offensive. Thus there is no way to produce deep attacks. Hardly lunges. When the team led by Lionel Scaloni took over the field and the ball, the Inca squad took refuge in the rear. Leandro Paredes, Rodrigo De Paul and Giovani Lo Celso put together their usual serenade of short touches. As always, the ball had to fall at the feet of Messi, the man who changes the rhythm. The one that puts the fifth gear and breaks the defenses as if they were made of paper. But Messi was not inspired. It wasn't just her fault. Peru stood up very well in its last trench. Carlos Zambrano and Alexander Callens alternated with a steel marking, with Pedro Aquino and Yoshimar Yotún as Spartans buckled in the Thermopylae Pass to stop the Persian army. The red and white T-shirts formed a barrier. It looked like the platform of a subway when it was time to enter or leave work. How to get through it? The only gap that can be seen was the one caused by Ángel Di María on the left wing. 'El Fideo' was a nightmare for Jhilmar Lora. Argentina, as is their custom, did not lose patience, although their game was dying from so much hammering without the wall collapsing. What Argentina shows is sudden scoring power. It was a 2-1 combination that De Paul made for Miguel Trauco with Molina, whose strong cross was nailed headfirst by Martinez into Pedro Gallese's goal. Peru felt the impact. A draw was not a bad result. A loss would see him lose step toward his goal of snapping at least the playoff spot in the tie. Burn the ships There was no other option for the Bicolor which burned some ships. Gambling at the risk of being unprotected. Run the risk of giving space to Messi and company. It could be suicidal, but what other option was left? He advanced the lines en bloc about thirty meters in the field. The coach of Peru sent Gabriel Costa, Wilder Cartagena and veteran Jefferson Farfán to the field. There were not many cards to play. Old sea wolf, 'La Foquita' launched into the area with the legs blocked by goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez. This time 'Draw' Martínez did not demoralize the auctioneer as he usually does. Yotún and his nerves crashed the penalty on the crossbar. Another blow for Peruvians. When Messi raised his game, Peru closed the doors again. He was betting on the counterattack. Scaloni has spare weapons and he threw Nicolás González, always threatening, into the field, although Argentina suffered in the end.

Thanks, mainly, to the good development of the raw materials export sector, this Tuesday the International Monetary Fund (IMF) raised the forecasts for economic growth in Latin America in 2021 to 6.3%, half a point above its past forecast in July. Despite the general improvement in that region, its two main economies, Brazil and Mexico, both saw their forecast lowered by one tenth compared to three months ago, to 5.2 and 6.2%, respectively, according to the new report. Global Economic Outlook (WEO), released Tuesday. In 2020, the Latin American regional economy sank 7%, according to the latest data from the Fund. The country that does see a significant increase in its forecasts was Argentina, which will grow 7.5% in 2021, compared to 6.4% reflected in the IMF's July document. Indeed, Argentina is currently negotiating with the IMF a debt refinancing agreement for about 45,000 million dollars, in a plan subject to policies that improve the economic activity and fiscal health of the country. On the other hand, Chile will be the Latin American country that will grow at the fastest rate, 11% forecast for 2021, compared to 6.2% projected by the Fund in April. In its report, the IMF highlighted Chile as one of the countries in the world with the best production levels and reserves of copper and lithium, a characteristic that within the current context has triggered projections for this South American nation. "The economic benefits of higher prices could be substantial for metal-exporting countries," stressed the Washington-based body. Other countries in the region, such as Colombia and Peru will also advance in 2021 by 7.6% and 10%, respectively, while Central America as a whole will grow by 7.7%. The Caribbean economies, highly dependent on tourism, will register 3.6% development this year, above the 2.4% calculated in the previous update. For its part, Venezuela will suffer a contraction of 5%, a figure far from the 10% reduction in economic activity that the IMF anticipated in its last report. All in all, Latin America will grow 6.3% in 2021, a figure higher than the global economic development, placed by the Fund at 5.9% for this year. For 2022, the experts of this body expect Latin America to advance a modest 3%, two tenths less than their previous forecast. The publication of this report is part of the assembly of the IMF and the World Bank (WB), which is being held this week in Washington again virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The last of the 63 green sea turtles that were rescued from the surroundings of the Isla de la Plata, in Manabí, returned to the sea. Biologists and scientists supported this work this Wednesday, October 13. According to specialists, 44 of the 63 turtles treated were affected by blows or hooks embedded in some parts of their bodies. They received help from more than 15 specialists who mobilized in expeditions carried out since last August. Those who were behind this effort were personnel of veterinarians, park rangers and volunteers from the Machalilla National Park (PNM), its Center for the Rescue and Rehabilitation of Marine Fauna headed by Rubén Alemán, and the organizations WildAid and Equilibrio Azul, who joined in this cause. Manuel Bravo, director of WildAid for Latin America, described this process as unprecedented due to the multiple efforts to help save marine fauna in that area of the Manabi coast. “23 turtles were serious cases that had to be transferred to the Marine Fauna Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Salango, for intensive treatment that included surgical intervention. The center even requested support from citizens to donate medicine, since they also had more than 60 turtles undergoing treatment. The good news is that they were all cured and released into the ocean, ”Bravo said. Each organization helped in this process. For example, WildAid supported this expedition with medicine, anesthetics, antibiotics, rotors, and reagents for sea turtle health testing. In addition, he was in charge of facilitating the food and logistics that will install the clinic and the operation of the expedition. Meanwhile, Equilibrio Azul personnel were in charge of the search for sea turtles around the island, for which they provided the Esperanza boat where the turtles were measured and marked. According to scientific data, the island of La Plata has the largest aggregation of green turtles on the Ecuadorian coast. Since 2015, WildAid and the PNM have implemented the marine control and surveillance plan around the island of La Plata, and in permanent patrols it was common to find tangled turtles and hooks. On the other hand, the organization Equilibrio Azul has developed since 2004 research and protection tasks on the island such as placement of mooring buoys, coral studies, studies of seabirds, photoidentification and acoustic and satellite telemetry of birostris mantas, monitoring of fishing, research and conservation of sea turtles. (I) To attend to these emergencies in the Marine Fauna Rescue and Rehabilitation Center of the PNM, a veterinary medical team, park rangers and volunteers were installed, in addition to the operation of a mobile clinic on the island of La Plata to evaluate the veterinary health of the turtles. extract the hooks, apply the medicines and take samples from the scientific information record.

Almost 30 years after the first iconic Ducati Supermono was born from Pierre Terblanche's drawing board, and commissioned by the Barber Advenced Design Canter (BADC), a new Concept Bike inspired by the mythical Supermono has been developed. A work that has had the invaluable help of the original designer, the South African Terbanche. The design genius, born in 1956, is the architect of such outstanding motorcycles as the Ducati 888, Multistrada, Hypermotard, Supersport, 749 and 999, the Sport Classic range, and of course the Supermono. Also the Cagiva 600 Canyon and 900 Gran Canyon, the Royal Enfield Hymalan and the BST hyperTEK Concept. The latter is an electric motorcycle that he himself claims is "the best job he has ever done." The new Concept Supermono is full of nods to the latest technologies applied to motorcycle design, and it is truly impressive. Although there is no view of its front, in its massive monocoque chassis divided into two sections a large air intake seems to open that would somehow circulate towards the engine. At the front, its conventional Y-shaped upper part also attracts attention, which would be assisted by a stem that comes from the upper triple clamp. The rims are very light, but here the front discs attract more attention, which appear to be solid and have a heat sink ring around the perimeter. Meanwhile, the double brake caliper is arranged axially and radially. Link: https://solomoto.es/nueva-supermono-de-pierre-terblanche/

The board of directors of the French Professional Football League (LFP), meeting on Wednesday, formalized its opposition to FIFA's project to organize the World Cup every two years, the body announced. "The development of football does not only happen through the World Cup, but also rests and above all in the domestic championships," the instance recalled in a statement. "Without prior agreement, FIFA wants to make a decision that is in its sole interest and whose impact is irremediably negative for domestic championships and clubs as employers of players," added the LFP. The idea of FIFA to organize a biennial World Cup, and not every four years, provoked a cascade of criticism in European football, in leagues around the world, in players and fans. But in France, the president of his federation (FFF), Noël Le Graët, a rare discordant voice, made it known that he had “no opposition” to this project, in an interview with the daily L’Equipe on October 1. It is the first time that the LFP board of directors has expressed itself on the case. "This project would also foresee the extension of the international periods, which would strongly disturb the domestic championships and would cause the disinterest of the fans", described the LFP. "The World Cup constitutes a world heritage that must be preserved and not trivialized", concluded his statement. The “European Leagues” association, which brings together some thirty European championships, including the LFP, but also the leagues of England, Spain, Italy and Germany, had expressed at the beginning of September its “firm and unanimous opposition” to the project defended by FIFA.
