  3. Santi, the dog that lived in the building of the Presidency of the Republic, lives with three other dogs in his new home. Despite being long-lived, he now runs after the horses and llamas of a farm, in the province of Bolívar, where he was transferred once the tests were carried out and he was officially handed over. Who adopted Santi, shared a video on his social networks with the first experiences that the dog has lived since his arrival. Nature is the main plane of the scenes, an environment very different from what the dog that was rescued from the street was used to. Mounted on horseback, getting acquainted with the other dogs, barking at the llamas and exploring among some crops are the images that are exposed in the publication. On social networks, Santi's departure from the Presidency went viral, as several users claimed that he had been evicted. However, the Animal Welfare Unit (UBA) reported that he was an elderly dog that had been rescued by the workers of this building. It was also mentioned that he would have behaved aggressively, so they decided to have him transferred, although most of the people who knew the dog assured that he always had a docile and calm attitude. Dog that lived in the Presidency went viral due to transfer to the Animal Welfare Unit The animal was transferred to a Veterinary Care, Shelter and Temporary Foster Care Center (Cavrat) to carry out a clinical and ethological evaluation. Since then he began a search for a home that provides the necessary care, since he is considered an older adult. On March 31, the official delivery of the Municipality of Quito to Herdocia was made, who assured that he will have a full life, full of nature and with the affection he deserves. https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/ecuador/santi-perro-presidencia-denuncia-municipio-quito-bolivar-adopcion-nota/
  4. The first all-electric model from Mercedes-Maybach ushers in a new era for the ultra-premium sub-brand as the German car maker pushes forwards with a profit-focused strategy centred on large luxury cars. A luxurious reimagining of the Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV, the range-topping Maybach EV, badged EQS 680, is hoped to help position the brand at the top of the EV league table by offering a bespoke luxury electric 4x4 that isn't yet offered by main rivals Bentley and Rolls-Royce. It is an evolution of the Maybach Concept EQS, first previewed at the Munich motor show in 2021, which itself “represents the transformation of Mercedes-Maybach from a tradition-rich luxury brand into a more progressive electric future,” said Philipp Schiemer, head of Mercedes-Benz’s Top End Vehicle Group, which is responsible for Maybach and the AMG performance division. Key specs include a 659bhp, 701lb ft twin-motor powertrain (up 123bhp, 68lb ft on the current top-wrung EQS 580 4Matic) and 373-mile range (down 5 miles from the same 108.4kWh battery). 4Matic four-wheel-drive is standard. But it’s the interior that has seen the most attention, and where Mercedes hopes it can attract more buyers to the brand to boost on the 23,000 – of its 328,000 overall – sales it accrued last year. It builds on the already-plush EQS 580 – which includes the new MBUX Hyperscreen – with vegetable-tanned Nappa leather ‘executive’ seats all round, Burmester 4D surround sound system, and typical Maybach chrome touches across the dash and doors. Additional luxuries have been added in the rear, including 11.6-inch displays on the backrests of the front seats, wood trimmed seat divider, and a built-in fridge with accompanying silver-plated goblets. The rear seats also come equipped with ventilation, massage function and neck and shoulder heating. On the outside, it features a series of Maybach-specific elements, including the brand’s signature two-tone paint scheme and chrome accents placed across the SUV. As traditional with Maybach, attention has been paid to the ride quality, with a special new Maybach mode – which replaces Comfort as the standard setting – that’s been designed entirely for “maximum driving comfort” for the rear passengers. It ensures only minimal body movements under the rear seats thanks to an oscillation node. Sound insulation was another focus of the German luxury firm, especially, again, at the rear. Thanks to a lack of combustion powertrain, silence is already minimal, but to deafen road noise, Maybach has pumped acoustic foam around the rear body of the SUV and used faux-leather coverings around the cabin. Pricing has yet to be announced, but given the EQS SUV 580 costs £152,635, we can expect the Maybach to be priced comfortably over the £200,000 mark. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motor-shows-shanghai-auto-show/mercedes-maybach-eqs-suv-luxury-brands-first-ev
  5. It is known as liquid gold for its multiple properties, but do we know how quality is determined, what factors influence it and how they impact the body? Olive oil is one of our hallmarks. Intimately linked to our landscape and our gastronomy, it is an essential part of the Mediterranean diet; in fact, many of the health benefits attributed to this diet are due precisely to the presence of this healthy fat in it. "The quality of an olive oil," explains Belén Fontán, a Pharmacy graduate and expert in nutritional coaching at the Ruber Juan Bravo Hospital Complex, "is defined by its chemical characteristics (acid value, peroxide value, vitamins... .), as well as its organoleptic characteristics such as colour, smell, flavor or density”. Focusing on health, we are going to be interested in an oil with a high level of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid that stands out for its heart-healthy properties. In this sense, it must be remembered that the olive harvest season usually oscillates between the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, a moment in which the fruit has a higher percentage of oleic acid, which will allow us to obtain a better quality of oil. In addition to the harvest season, other factors such as the weather, the treatment of the olive once harvested or the storage of the oil obtained will also have a significant influence on the quality of the final product and, consequently, on its nutritional benefits. Aware of this, manufacturers are currently paying special attention to all these factors and to the production processes in order to optimize the healthy possibilities of this 'liquid gold'. This is how it benefits us To understand why the virtues of olive oil are extolled so much, the Nutrition specialist explains that: Prevents cardiovascular diseases. Oleic acid has the ability to reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) levels and increase HDL (good cholesterol) levels. "The presence of this oleic acid also increases arterial vasodilation, improving blood circulation and lowering blood pressure," she stresses. Strengthens the bones. It contributes to bone mineralization, which is why it is essential for proper growth in childhood, as well as in adulthood to avoid bone problems and diseases such as osteoporosis. https://www.elconfidencial.com/alma-corazon-vida/2022-04-08/aceite-oliva-beneficios-salud-bra_3403324/
  6. Pakistan pacer Shaheen Shah Afridi. — Instagram/@ishaheenafridi10. Pakistani pace sensation Shaheen Shah Afridi has recalled the "best moment" of his life by posting a throwback photo on Instagram of when he had just stepped into the field of cricket. Shaheen was just a boy — when he started playing cricket — as seen in the picture posted on the photo and video-sharing app. "There comes a moment that shapes your life," Shaheen wrote. It was just this "moment" for the star cricketer when he started from point zero and aced the sport through his passion and skills. "Cricket is my life and this is the moment, the day I started at zero and it was the best moment of my life. "When you are at Zero, you have the hunger, the will, and the passion to do so much more. To never stop!" said the 23-year-old cricketer, who joined the national squad when he was just 18. The youngster is currently playing against New Zealand in the five-match home series in Rawalpindi. However, the pacer was rested in the second ODI match due to an injury and replaced by Ihsanullah. Pakistan won the first ODI match against the Black Caps on Thursday by five wickets while the second ODI by seven wickets in Rawalpindi on Saturday, courtesy of centuries by opener batter Fakhar Zaman. The other matches of the current series are in Karachi on May 3, 5 and 7.

  7. This May 5, 2023, the first phase of vaccination of cattle in the country against foot-and-mouth disease will begin. Ecuador has gone more than 10 years without reporting a single outbreak. The Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, Eduardo Izaguirre, indicates that the last outbreak was registered in August 2011. That is, there are 139 months without cases of foot-and-mouth disease. Minister Izaguirre and the Executive Director of the Phytosanitary and Zoosanitary Regulation and Control Agency (Agrocalidad), Patricio Almeida, indicated that this phase will end on June 19, 2023. More than 4.6 million cattle will be vaccinated during May and June more than 4.6 million head of cattle and buffaloes will be vaccinated. Izaguirre states that having animals without foot-and-mouth disease "allows us to have healthy cattle, as well as quality meat and milk." It will also benefit more than 284,000 producers and their families. Link
  8. (CNN) -- The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has captured a stunning new image of icy giant Uranus, with nearly all of its wispy dusty rings on display. The image is a demonstration of the telescope's significant sensitivity, NASA said, as the fainter rings had only previously been captured by the Voyager 2 spacecraft and the WM Keck Observatory on Maunakea in Hawaii. Uranus has 13 known rings, 11 of them visible in Webb's new image. Nine rings are classified as the main rings, while the other two are more difficult to capture due to their dusty composition and were not discovered until the Voyager 2 flyby in 1986. Two other faint outer rings are also not shown in the latter image was discovered in 2007 from images taken by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, and scientists hope Webb will capture them in the future. The space observatory's powerful Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) can detect infrared light that would not otherwise be visible to astronomers. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope also captured Uranus's brilliant white polar cap in November, illuminating the haze's increasing brightness compared to images from previous years. Webb's new image shows the polar cap in greater detail than shown in the Hubble image, with a subtle glow in the center of the cap and more pronounced storm clouds that can be seen around the edges. https://cnnespanol.cnn.com/2023/04/08/anillos-de-urano-nueva-imagen-del-telescopio-webb-trax/

  15. The number of people looking for work has risen as job vacancies fall suggesting that the uncertain economic outlook is hitting employment. About 220,000 more people were seeking work between December and February than in the three months before. Unemployment rose slightly and job vacancies fell for the ninth time in a row, official figures suggest. However, the figures also showed a rise in the employment rate as more people returned to the jobs market. Overall, UK economic growth has been flat since spring last year, with the effects of high energy prices and rising interest rates taking their toll, along with strikes in several sectors. Figures from the Insolvency Service on Tuesday also showed a sharp rise in the number of firms going bust in March. There were 2,457 business insolvencies last month, up from 1,784 in February. Inflation - the rate at which prices rise - has been running at more than 10%, remaining close to 40-year highs, and the latest earnings figures showed that pay increases continue to lag behind rising prices. Annual growth in regular pay, which excludes bonuses, was 6.6% between December and February, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) said. However, when taking inflation into account, regular pay fell by 2.3%. The ONS figures showed that the employment rate edged up to 75.8% in the three months to February. In the same period, the unemployment rate rose to 3.8%, up from 3.7% in the previous three months. Job vacancies fell for the ninth time in a row with companies blaming economic pressures for holding back on hiring new staff. From January to the end of March, the number of vacancies fell by 47,000 from the previous quarter to 1,105,000, although the ONS noted vacancy numbers remained at "very high levels". Michael Stull, the managing director of employment agency ManpowerGroup, told the BBC's Today programme: "We are starting to see a pullback in demand from employers. However, we're still in a strong position." "We're seeing more people coming back into the workforce," he added, noting that more over-50s and younger people were returning to the jobs market. Daniel Ashville Louisy, director of construction firm Ashville Aggregates, said that despite high demand at the moment, many firms were starting to put construction projects on hold due to uncertainty in the economy. He also said that profits were being squeezed because wages have risen so much. "We have labourers earning the money that plumbers and carpenters were earning like, two and a half, three years ago," he said. "But everyone wants the job to be cheaper because they have no certainty... so we don't have the money in the job to bring new people on board at the higher wage bracket." Reacting to the latest figures, Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said: "While unemployment remains close to historic lows, rising prices continue to eat into pay cheques which is why halving inflation this year is one of our top economic priorities." However, shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves said the government was holding the UK back. "Their lack of ambition for Britain is leaving real wages down, families worse off, hundreds of thousands fewer people in work and our economy lagging". Liberal Democrat Treasury spokesperson Sarah Olney said: "The Conservative party's gross mismanagement of the British economy has led to inflation rising and growth plummeting." You always have to be careful about placing too much emphasis on one set of figures, but the rate of pay rises across the economy has surprised economists on the upside. We may or may not be about to go through a full-blown recession or a more modest downturn. However, so far the challenges facing the economy have only had a modest effect on unemployment, smudging only slightly the clear picture that it's a good time to be looking for work. At 6.9%, the average pay rise in the private sector is down from a peak, but only slightly. It's still one of the biggest rises in average earnings anyone has seen for most of the past 20 years. Even in the public sector, employers who have a free hand are paying more to try to overcome the ongoing recruitment crisis - with wages up 5.3% in the year to February. Few will need reminding, though, that against double-digit inflation that's still one of the biggest real-terms pay cuts both private and public sector workers have had to endure since the 1930s. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-65301742
  16. Ndume was a wild elephant calf who had the misfortune to witness her mother being killed by angry farmers and a younger calf torn to pieces. Since then, for Ndume the nights have not been calm again. He ended up in an elephant sanctuary on the outskirts of Nairobi. The workers at the center tell how the little elephant would wake up in the middle of the night in anguish and start barrulating as loudly as he could. It was as if he were reliving in a dream the trauma of the day he lost everything. This is one of the many examples that David M. Peña-Guzmán (Guadalajara, Mexico, 36 years old) recounts in his book entitled When Animals Dream: The Hidden World of Animal Consciousness (Errrata Naturae, 2023), which is published in Spanish this week. Peña-Guzmán is currently an associate professor of humanities at San Francisco State University (USA) and co-host of the Overthink philosophy podcast. In this interview with EL PAÍS, he tells why he decided to write the first book about animal dreams. Ask. Where does his philosophical interest in the minds of other beings come from? Answer. Animals were never a central part of my childhood, quite the opposite. I lived in a house where objects, property and food were seen as objects. I discovered my interest in animals when I was already doing my PhD in philosophy at Emory University, in the United States. It was during an “animal philosophy” class that something clicked in me. I realized that the animal has always been the great "unthought" of Western philosophy. Most of what has been said in philosophical circles has been 99% of the time based on the human being, without this trend having been criticized or even noticed. But once we introduce the figure of the animal, it completely changes the landscape of any philosophical subject, be it morality, empathy, logic, or the nature of thought. The animal puts philosophy in question. Q. How did you come to the subject of dreams? A. One day I was reading an article about experiments on rats in which the authors mentioned the importance of making sure the rats rest between experiments and, in passing, commented: "Who knows if they dream while resting and sleeping." This image of a non-human animal, sleeping and possibly dreaming, took hold of me until I decided to investigate if there were any studies on it. I found that there are many physiological, neurological, and psychological studies on sleep in animals, but not on dreams as subjective experiences. Since dreams are complex mental and bodily phenomena that are difficult to study in a purely empirical way, I came to the conclusion that animal dreams could be an ideal topic to stage a new dialogue between philosophy and science. The animal has always been the great 'unthought' of Western philosophy. Once we introduce it, it completely changes the landscape of any topic Q. In the book you mention examples of scientists who throughout history have denied that animals dream. How would you explain to someone who has a pet, and it is obvious to them that animals dream, that science is reluctant to admit it? A. This question has a lot to do with why I wrote this book. I try to justify this intuition of people who are not scientists, but who have an understanding of animals based on a life in common with them. That is, the book is a scientific and philosophical defense of a point of view that many of us hold, but which is not, itself, directly derived from science. In most of Europe and North America we live in a “scientist” culture. I mean, a culture where science enjoys enormous authority in social terms, since we see it as the source of absolute truth, as the embodiment of pure objectivity. But science is a social, material and historical practice where there are prejudices that are not noticed, but even so they condition what is done, what is thought and what is said. For example, since the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century, science has been governed by the belief that animals are reduced to either machines with no internal life or pale, negative versions of our humanity. This prejudice is so ingrained in our scientific culture that, consciously or not, our scientists internalize it in their professional training to such a degree that they do not see it as a prejudice but as something given, obvious and neutral. But is not. And never has been. This prejudice is the expression of a problematic theoretical approach that science has adopted in relation to nature and the animal world for reasons that go beyond science. https://elpais.com/ciencia/2023-04-10/david-pena-guzman-filosofo-aceptar-que-los-animales-suenan-tiene-consecuencias-filosoficas-eticas-y-politicas.html
  17. The first car in the reborn Jaguar line-up will be a four-door electric GT and the most powerful model in the brand’s history. The new GT will be revealed in 2024 and on sale in 2025 as the first of three models in the new Jaguar family. Each will be built on an all-new bespoke EV architecture called Jaguar Electrified Architecture (JEA). Confirmed today as part of an update to the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Reimagine strategy, the new Jaguar will have a range of up to 430 miles and a starting price in excess of £100,000. It is likely to have two motors for four-wheel drive and a power output in excess of 575bhp. The target time for charging is 200 miles of range in 15 minutes. Full details on JLR's Reimagine update: Jaguar Land Rover will not build its own EV battery factory Prototypes of the new GT will hit the road before the end of the year, ahead of its reveal in 2024. Virtual testing of the car is already almost complete ahead of this crucial next phase of its development, where the car will come to life for the first time, having been previewed officially for the first time today (below). JLR’s chief creative officer Gerry McGovern said the styling of the GT and subsequent future Jaguars would be “the copy of nothing”, invoking the mantra and philosophy of Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons. He said it was an “honour” to be asked to lead the rebirth of “a brand as loved and cherished” as Jaguar and vowed to return it to its past positioning as a ‘true British luxury brand”. He referenced the E-Type and XJS as models that provided a blueprint – but not a retro copy – for how the reborn Jaguar would operate in creating shocking but beautiful designs and how the current Jaguar range was created under a different strategy that the brand would no longer be following. He said: “The E-Type in its time looked like it had dropped from space. The XJS was equally compelling and a copy of nothing. It started again and didn’t copy the E-Type. The designs of current Jaguars aren’t bad. The strategy was more one of universal appeal and chasing more mainstream premium, which made the cars more normal. We want to go back [to the old philosophy]. It’s a complete reimagining.” McGovern said the four pillars of future Jaguar design would be exuberance, fearlessness, uniqueness and progressiveness. “Being exuberant is a real task, as there’s nothing else around like that,” he added. “Jaguars need to have a jaw-dropping moment, a sense of wow.” The three new Jaguars are the result of an internal design competition that encompassed everyone in JLR’s creative team across all brands. The creative team was split into three teams as part of Project Renaissance, which McGovern believes will go down as a pivotal moment in Jaguar’s history, with each given the same brief to create a family of models for Jaguar’s future. A total of 18 cars were created as full-sized models in just three months across the teams, but the winning team accounted for just three of them. McGovern said the verdict on choosing this team’s design was “unanimous''. "There was no debate. We said 'that’s it.' “We derived the design direction from there and evolved the designs from those three cars. The designs are at an advanced stage.” Autocar understands that while the first model will shock, the second and third models will reinforce that design and the models will clearly all be part of the same family. The two cars to follow the GT, likely to be crossovers, will come at a rate of no more than one per year after the launch of the initial car. Volumes will be around 50,000 cars per year for the range as a whole. The cars will all be built at a new dedicated area within JLR’s Solihull production facility. Nick Collins, JLR's vehicle programmes executive director, said the JEA too “was the copy of nothing” and no other EV architecture would “allow for such exuberant designs, proportions, refinement and performance”. Lennard Hoornik, JLR’s chief commercial officer, said the investment in Jaguar stood at around £1 billion. “We’re investing in Jaguar not just for its heritage but for its future.” Around 100 suppliers have already committed to the new Jaguar project, which isn't just about creating new cars but also changing every part of the brand and how customers interact with it. “We’re creating an entirely new brand, new business models and new competencies, with every part of the client journey reimagined,” said Hoornik. “The way cars are bought [and] are serviced, this is all being done from the ground up, including online and offline journeys.” This ground-up reinvention includes dealers and Hoornik said Jaguars “would not be available everywhere”, confirming reports that the firm is going to reduce the number of dealers selling its cars. “But equally, there will be a range of three other brands [Range Rover, Discovery and Defender], all electric and with dedicated areas,” he added, a reference to the fact the Land Rover brand would be taking a back seat, with Range Rover, Discovery and Defender becoming model ranges in their own right alongside Jaguar in a four-strong line-up of JLR brands. Commenting on the relaunch of Jaguar, new JLR CEO Adrian Mardell said: “Jaguar will not disappoint. It will begin to put right unfinished business.” He said it wasn't a “last chance” for the brand and that “this cat was going to purr”. “There are no such things,” he said on whether it was a last chance. “We create chances by what we deliver. I believe this brand will be here in 50 years.” McGovern doesn’t believe the new brand positioning for Jaguar will alienate existing customers, although he admitted there will always be those resistant to change. “Things have to move on, and we’re going to create such a compelling proposition that if there’s red blood in their body…” said McGovern on whether this new Jaguar would appeal to existing customers. “EV is a propulsion method, as is ICE. EV can be as compelling as long as you have everything else with it. It’s like with watches: when a new one comes out, you still prefer the old one, but over time you see what it’s about and you change your mind. “We respect existing customers, but we’re going after new ones as well, ones who think less about the vehicles and are more culturally driven, more artistic. When you go to something new, people look back – but that’s fine.” McGovern showed a brief teaser image of the new Jaguar that gave little away, but he said that going electric “opened up more space inside” and allowed for the “exuberant proportions”. Hoornik said the cars had “wowed” people in clinics and the firm had been “pleasantly surprised” as to how they had viewed the value proposition of the cars and the new brand. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/2025-jaguar-ev-be-£100000-four-door-gt-430-mile-range
  18. It is intended to be one more tool to combat the opioid death crisis that is plaguing the United States. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave the green light on Wednesday for the over-the-counter sale of Narcan, the main version of naloxone, an overdose reversal drug. "Today's approval of the over-the-counter naloxone nasal spray will help improve access, increase the number of places where it is available, and help reduce opioid overdose deaths across the country. We encourage the manufacturer to make the accessibility to the product a priority, making it available as soon as possible and at an affordable price," the agency said in a statement. More than 100,000 people die each year in the United States from overdoses, 80,000 of them from opioid use, according to the most recent data from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), a number that has increased in 850% in two decades. Opioids are compounds that are often prescribed to treat pain. Although highly addictive, they are commonly used, and their use for non-therapeutic purposes is also widespread, due to the feeling of euphoria they cause. As policymakers debate and strategize to curb growing opioid addiction, they are also embracing measures to—as it is called in medical jargon—"harm mitigation." And the decision of this Wednesday of the FDA is framed in the latter. nasal spray Naloxone is a generic drug that the National Institute on Drug Abuse defines as an "opioid antagonist," and Narcan is its best-known version and is sold as a nasal spray. For it to take effect, you just have to insert it into your nose and press. Although the health authorities instruct that it always be done while calling the emergency services. https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-internacional-65118695

  20. Happy birthday Călin™
  21. An unprecedented event in the canton of La Libertad, in the province of Santa Elena: the image of the Virgin Mary in the invocation of La Dolorosa would have shed tears during the night of last Friday, when the procession with the holy sepulcher was taking place. However, the event had a greater connotation when the tour ended at the Nuestra Señora de la Esperanza mother church. Holy Week: what is Glory Saturday and what are the Liturgy of the Hours and of the Word “The parishioners approached me and told me the Virgin cries. I got closer and first I thought they were the artificial tears of the image, but then I saw that three tears flowed from her left eye, ”said Wider Vivas, parish coordinator. He commented that there has not yet been a pronouncement by the parish priest, but it is expected that the case will be made known to the diocese and investigated, just as it happened when the image of the Mystic Rose in Olón cried tears of blood. The event has had such diffusion that yesterday the parishioners continued to come to the church to see the image, although now they only observe the false tears that are part of the plaster and wood sculpture. Cotton and handkerchiefs are passed through the face of the image; people take them as a sacred gift. Holy or Glory Saturday is a day of absolute silence for the Church, which reflects "on the Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ, as well as his descent into hell and his subsequent Resurrection". This is how AciPrensa explains the important "day of waiting" for Catholics. On Glory Saturday it is the Virgin Mary “who comforts the apostles of Jesus. She reminds them of what her son said: "On the third day I will rise again," reports El Comercio. For this support for those who believe "that everything is over", that day Mary is remembered not only for her pain, but for "courage and keeping hope alive". The Catholic Church dedicates Saturday to the Virgin Mary because, among other reasons, on Holy Saturday when Christ is dead and everyone is gone, she continues to confidently wait on the promises of her Son Jesus. She is full of pain, but she keeps standing the flame of Faith pic.twitter.com/qBjYdMnppX – Dr. Everardo López-Padilla (@drever77) March 18, 2023 The Christian community watches over the tomb. The bells and instruments are silent. The Hallelujah is rehearsed, but in a low voice. It is day to deepen. To contemplate. The altar is stripped. The tabernacle, open and empty, says AciPrensa. What is celebrated every day of Holy Week What is the Liturgy of the Hours Holy Saturday is an aliturgical day; officially, the Church focuses on the Liturgy of the Hours, notes Aleteia. That liturgy "is the set of prayers (psalms, antiphons, hymns, prayers, biblical readings and others) that the Church has organized to be prayed at certain hours of each day." https://www.eluniverso.com/noticias/ecuador/imagen-de-virgen-de-la-dolorosa-en-la-libertad-habria-derramado-lagrimas-durante-procesion-nota/
