“In Medellín we are going to create a team of psychologists who are going to accompany the women so that they make the decision with all the certainty. We are going to put social workers to attend in case it is an economic problem for us to support them in economic terms, “said Quintero.

“That is, if the problem is money, we provide the money; if the problem is the family, we accompany them so that they can talk to the family”, added the local president.

Quintero Calle said that he is against abortion but clarified that he does not agree with the criminalization and that no woman should go to jail for this.

“Every abortion really makes me very sad, every abortion hurts me, I would never have an abortion and I hope my daughters never do., but I also recognize that perhaps the best way to prevent abortions is precisely being able to accompany those who are on the path to abortion. When there is an abortion, there is a drama, there is a woman who is in the middle of a drama, there is perhaps also a man who is behind a deep drama”, added the mayor.

On the other hand, the mayor announced that the areas of the city where there are more cases of abortion will be analyzed.

“We do not have that information, it is secret information, it is happening, abortions are happening every day And in the areas where we see more abortions, we are going to carry out stronger campaigns to provide contraceptive methods. In Medellin, precisely because of that campaign of contraceptive methods and because of a campaign in schools, we have a 30 percent reduction in teenage pregnancy”, he concluded.

BOGOTA COLOMBIA). Friday, February 18, 2022 (RPTV NEWS AGENCY). “We have been potato farmers by tradition. All our parents’ lives, our grandparents have dedicated themselves to farming”, says Rosa Elvira Rivera, a peasant woman who says that she inherited her love for the countryside from her parents and for that reason she enjoys working tilling the land. .

“I love the countryside, I have had the opportunity to go look for other opportunities, but the best opportunities are here in the countryside because it is where we were born, where we grew up and where we have a better quality of life,” he reaffirms.

Today, this woman and 46 other families make up an association with which to improve their economy and is an example for the more than 11 million peasants in the country.

“We as a cooperative have been established for six years. We are dedicated to the cultivation of potatoes and also to the production of milk and also to that of various alternate crops in the cold climate of the municipality of Ventaquemada, Boyacá”, he explains about his association, which has received the support of the Comprehensive Intervention Program of the Unit Special Administrative Organization for Solidarity Organizations (UAEOS), with which they have been strengthened and which has allowed them to market quality products, which are also used for family consumption.

Rosa is so happy with her association and with the help of the UAEOS that she invites her fellow farmers to receive constant training. “We have to train ourselves, we have to be managing projects for our organizations, we have to be looking for a better quality of life for all of us, a better well-being.”

The UAEOS is a State entity, attached to the Ministry of Labor, which in its programs promotes and strengthens the entrepreneurial strategies of peasants from the most vulnerable rural communities in the country, so that they can generate decent work and decent income and generate an economic transformation. in these families.

With these programs, the work of the UAEOS not only invests in peasant households like Rosa’s, but also with the enterprises of small informal merchants, so that they can ensure an economic income, guaranteeing their food security, access to social security and in constant improvement of their quality of life.

Tragedy of Pereira: they create oversight for donations for the victims - Other Cities - Colombia

Behind the glide that buried several houses in the La Esneda neighborhood and Avenida del Río last week in Pereira and that left 17 people dead, hundreds of people have donated aid for the victims of this tragedy, hence an oversight committee was formed to ensure that donations are delivered to the most needy people.

Until now, more than 82 million pesos in cash, 50 tons of food and 1.5 tons of clothing have been collectedaccording to information from the Pereira Improvement Society.

Hence, the Government of Risaralda decided to form an oversight committee with the leaders of the affected communities, the Directorate of Disaster Risk Management and the first ladies of several municipalities in the department.

This is how the area where the landslide occurred was left.

All these aids will be delivered according to the census and with the leaders so that they reach all the people who need it.

“These grants will have an oversight where all the leaders, both from the River and from La Esneda, will be in charge of making the deliveries together with the Risk Management Directorate of Pereira and Dosquebradas. All these grants they will be delivered according to the census and with the leaders so that they reach all the people who need it,” said Nathalia Sierra, first lady of Risaralda.

The donations seek to provide food and everything necessary for some 470 people who were affected by the collapse. Some lost their homes and others had to be evicted due to the risk posed by the emergency zone.

“We made a collection center in the municipality and we filled a turbo truck and then people went to the main square to bring more aid. All the inhabitants of the municipality contributed to help La Esneda and El Río,” said Patricia Corrales, manager community of the municipality of Belén de Umbría and member of the supervisory committee.

Winter tragedy in Risaralda left 17 dead and 34 injured.

The social manager of the municipality of Marsella, Martha Isabel Duque, said that the people of her town came en masse to deliver their donations. “Even the street dwellers came to donate, they gave little coins and what they had. In total, 1,800,000 pesos were collected. In addition, we brought rice, beans, lentils, milk, groceries in general and top quality clothing; everything is new.”

They create a machine that facilitates the roasting of Quindío coffee - Other Cities - Colombia

With the purpose of helping coffee growers in the region, a research group from the School of Administration and Marketing of Quindío (EAM) undertook the task of designing equipment that will improve the roasting of the grain and that in turn could generate greater profitability for coffee growers.

Professors Néstor Iván Marín and Alexander Vasco, attached to the Mechatronics engineering program of the EAM, created the dynamic coffee roasting system, a project that includes an intelligent roasting assistant that allows the same roasting profile to be replicated as many times as necessary, ensuring the desired quality.

According to the experts, the roasting profile is the process that highlights the flavors of the coffee through the relationship between time, temperature and visible or auditory signals during the roasting curve. However, the EAM teachers found that many coffee growers lost money after carrying out the roasting process because the managers of the roasters did not assure them that they had the same previous profile.

”45% of the final value of the coffee is given by the roasting, that part of the process gives it a great added value. Many coffee growers must export green beans because they do not have the capacity or the equipment to roast and they lose a large portion of money. And those who do roast it in the country, most of them make it up, that is, they pay to have it roasted, but they are not guaranteed that they will always have the same flavor,” explained researcher-teacher Alexander Vasco.

And although there is automated equipment that monitors the roasting curve, it is too expensive for coffee growers who, in most cases, do not have the resources to buy a roaster.

According to data from the Quindío coffee study carried out by the Armenian Chamber of Commerce, during 2021 each roasting plant in the department manufactured at least 18 coffee brands, in addition to its own brand.

”What coffee grower, who only has a few hectares to grow the grain, is going to put 120 million pesos or more into a team of those. What we did was look for simpler tools to do the same thing as one of those teams and we added several more things to it,” added Vasco.

The teachers ordered a manual toaster to be manufactured, but with some improvements that were needed to install the additional parts and incorporate the created software.

”The people who roast are expert roasters, they have a whole ritual for this work and depending on how they roast it, the coffee can vary, since there are between 120 and 160 types of flavors and aromas. In the roast you can throw a coffee or on the contrary give it a special plus. Any change is as if it were another coffee and there is no business that is sustained with so many variants,” said the teacher.

The equipment designed has several ways to make toasts and its use is friendly to anyone. It can be manipulated by both an expert roaster and a modest coffee grower, after programming the necessary parameters and saving the roasting profile.

”The software has a database and saves the curves created there. The automatic mode can be used, loading the required curve and then the equipment will replicate it, ensuring the aromas and flavors regardless of external factors such as cold, heat, etc,” added the teacher.

The university has already started the process of registering the industrial secret and patent before the competent authorities.

Meanwhile, several coffee growers in the department make their coffee using this equipment, and in addition to this, the university is developing a pilot test with the production of Don Narciso coffee, whose roasting is also carried out with this equipment.

This coffee produced by the EAM was created in homage to the founder of the university, Narciso Concha. Its roasting profile was created by an expert and for a few months it has been marketed in Plaza Málaga, a tourist viewpoint located in the village of Pueblo Tapao. Coffee drinks such as cappuccino, latte and others are prepared there and bags of ground coffee are sold.

”We have been doing an analysis, the idea is also to bring roasted coffee to the United States and open a store there. Samples have already been sent to several universities and they have really liked the coffee. The idea is to generate resources for the research group to be self-sustaining,” said David Concha, health coordinator at the EAM institution.

And he added that this project “has been a challenge for the engineers and for the university, which has invested a number of resources in it.”

Sánchez asks the EU partners not to create blocs in the face of fiscal rules | Economy

The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, asked the EU partners this Wednesday not to form blocs in the face of the debate on the future of fiscal rules and that, together, they share opinions on how to reconcile fiscal sustainability and investments for economic transformation.

Sánchez has advocated that formula when addressing the reestablishment of the EU fiscal rules that are currently on hold at the press conference he has offered together with the Prime Minister of Finland, Sanna Marin.
