And she added: “The spending units in the ministries, non-related entities, and the governorates must adhere to the monthly financing requirements, provided that the final review balances for the year 2022 are presented, taking into account compliance with the approved salary financing schedule.”

Season, mother and species determine the birthday of baby rhinos
Depending on the mother animal, rhino species and season, rhinoceros offspring see the light of day a few weeks earlier or later. Findings should help breeding programs in zoos.
Female rhinoceros end their pregnancy (pregnancy) a week earlier in summer than in winter, reports Viennese zoologist Franz Schwarzenberger. The individual gestation period differs from rhinoceros female to rhinoceros female by up to seven weeks. They also carry their babies for different lengths of time depending on whether they are black, white or Indian rhinos, he explains in the journal General and Comparative Endocrinology.
Franz Schwarzenberger, who researches at the Institute for Physiology and Pathophysiology at the University of Veterinary Medicine (Vetmed) in Vienna, and a German colleague examined the hormone profiles of 35 rhinos kept in European zoos, which were created over three decades as part of pregnancy tests (pregnancy examinations). The researchers also compared the gestation periods of the individual animals and between different species.
Gestation averages 460 days for black rhinos (Diceros bicornis), 504 days for white rhinos (Ceratotherium simum), and around 480 days for great one-horned rhinos (Rhinoceros unicornis), reports Schwarzenberger. However, there are large variations within the individual species, namely gestation time differences of around seven weeks. There are also “pronounced individual differences” in the point at which the female sex hormone “gestagen” is first produced in the placenta to develop and maintain a pregnancy.
Due to the different lengths of daylight at the time of birth, the seasons also have a major influence on the duration of pregnancy, according to the Viennese researcher: “It is regarding a week shorter if the birth takes place in summer and not in winter.”
The findings should ensure that there are more rhino babies in zoos. “The implementation of new physiological findings in internationally coordinated breeding programs has already made a significant contribution to the fact that the number of breeding rhinos in zoos has increased significantly over the past few decades,” explains the scientist.
According to the Red List of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN – International Union for Conservation of Nature), free-living rhinos are either threatened with extinction, endangered or near threatened because they are shot by poachers. “The protection of wild populations and captive breeding are essential measures to ensure the conservation of rhino species,” says the Vetmed broadcast.
An act of rural insecurity occurred in the early hours of this Thursday on the property of the Limited Agricultural, Livestock and Industrial Cooperative from the town of Puán, some 600 kilometers from the Buenos aires city.
As it turned out, they were vandalized 51 whistlesof which 25 were completely brokencontained wheat and there are more than 10,000 tons affected As a matter of fact, he is being investigated by the local police, but still no detainees.
According to the local press, it is the fact of the largest number of silobags breaks that have been recorded so far.
The pain of a livestock producer due to the breakage of silobags with animal feed
“As a cooperative entity and in our community actions We repudiate this act of vandalism and violence, always inviting dialogue, respect and consensus. We thank the media, institutions and community that showed solidarity with our entity”, commented the Council of the Cooperativeand added that at this moment it is in full task of hauling and “palear” the cereal to try to recover it.
“It was a cowardly act. It seems to me that we don’t deserve all this, because we are always trying to grow, to work, to give labor to the community and in the district where our branches are located. We suspect that more than one person entered the property.. Many silbobags were broken with a knife or cutter and they were cut from end to end, and others suffered damage from the mere fact of walking on top of the silbosa”, he commented. Roberto SanchezPresident of the Cooperative.
“We are surprised by all this because it is a quiet area. The cereal belongs to the producers who deliver it to the Cooperative to market and now you find that you have a tremendous expense and breakage that has to be borne by us. Apart from the economic expense and the loss that we are going to have, there are logistics to attend to. You have to imagine that there are more than 10,000 tons affectedSanchez added.
According to the agro-industrial businessman, the level of economic loss isIt will be evaluated when the cereal harvest is finishedsince so far there is no precision on how many tons can be recovered.
“The economic loss will be very important, but logistics will also have an impact on all this because we are making freight and movements that were not scheduled and now from one day to the next we have to deal with all this. Until now It is unknown why this vandalism was generated, because we have no trade union, labor, or personal problems and there is nothing that leads us to determine what motivated this situation. We cannot understand that there are people with so much evil”, concluded the president of the Limited Agricultural, Livestock and Industrial Cooperative.

Reinforced security, public control… how Jurbise is preparing to welcome the Francken-Bouchez clash
The meeting is likely to cause mayhem. More than 400 people have already registered to hear the debate and others are still expected, since it is possible to come the same day without registration. But it is above all the arrival of people who have a conflicting relationship with the two speakers that worries the town. The organization expects protest movements to emerge around the meeting place.
The SETCa of Mons, which had planned a lively reception committee at an evening of Georges-Louis Bouchez, announced that it would put the cover back. Will he bring out the eggs, as in November 2022? “We want to peacefully but resolutely challenge their neo-liberal and anti-social policies”the union said in a statement. “Indeed, we do not see what is the added value for our region of such a meeting which is certainly not a debate since they defend the same values of rejection, exclusion, contempt for the unemployed, long-term patients, immigrants, but also Walloons.”
Left groups openly hostile to the vision defended by Theo Francken might also be tempted to join the event, according to the municipality of Jurbise.
This is why the organizers have planned to reinforce security around the Jacques Galant room. “We are strengthening the police force”, confirms the office of the mayor. “About fifteen police officers will supervise the event. And we call on a security service to supervise Georges-Louis Bouchez and Theo Francken.”
It was as president of the Mons-Borinage MR Federation that Jacqueline Galant set up this meeting. As mayor, she made contact with the police services, which deemed it useful to reinforce security for the occasion.
Regarding the intervention of the SETCa, the mayor is irritated because “they didn’t ask for any permission”. The police services had to contact the unions to confirm their arrival. “I do not understand how one can dispute the arrival of someone democratically elected. We give a detestable image of Wallonia when we don’t let someone like Theo Francken speak.”
To avoid drifts, the organizers wanted to proceed by registration. “It allows us to check the identities of visitors and verify that they are coming for the event and not to create confusion.”
It should be noted, however, that visitors are not obliged to register and therefore to be checked.
Tonight’s debate will address topics such as the future of Belgium, relations between Wallonia and Flanders, asylum policy and socio-economic challenges and structural reforms.
