La alegría del hogar

Para la gente mayor, el gato es un gran compañero, que hace bien en lo psíquico y físico. “Los obliga a salir de estados de ensimismamiento en los que a veces se sumen los ancianos y a focalizar en el día, en hacer algo que indefectiblemente los hace sonreír”, agrega Gabriela Fernández, de Hemera.

Diversas investigaciones han demostrado que los gatos aportan salud. Acariciar uno que está ronroneando puede hacer bajar la tensión arterial, la presión y frecuencia de respiración y los latidos cardíacos. Por eso, los gatos se han utilizado en las residencias de la tercera edad, ya que contribuyen y fomentan las sensaciones positivas y aportan paz y bienestar.

Lo ideal es adoptarlos a partir del día 35 ó 40 para poder socializarlo adecuadamente. Es importante que desde muy chicos tengan contactos frecuentes y positivos con muchos estímulos, entre ellos niños y ancianos, para que se puedan adaptar más adelante a la vida diaria y les resulten habituales. Sucede que la neofobia (temor a lo nuevo o desconocido) está muy desarrollada en esta especie, como un mecanismo de conservación”, explica el médico veterinario Fernando Catrina, director del Centro de Prevención, Diagnóstico y Tratamiento de Problemas de Comportamiento de Caninos y Felinos.

En cuanto a la elección del sexo, no hay mucha diferencia entre hembras y machos. “Si bien los machos suelen ser algo más impulsivos, se recomienda la castración temprana en ambos sexos, por lo que las influencias hormonales serían mínimas. Y una vez elegido, es importante contar con objetos con los cuales los gatos puedan canalizar su motivaciones lúdicas sin destruir los muebles”, afirma el médico veterinario Claudio Gerzovich, fundador del sitiowww.comportamientoanimal.com. 

Un reciente estudio nacional, realizado por la consultora Millward Brown Argentina, indica que el 78% de los argentinos tiene mascotas. El 63% tiene al menos un perro en su casa, el 26% tiene gatos, el 6% prefiere tener aves y el 3% peces.

En el país, hay más de 3 millones de gatos, y Rosario es la ciudad con mayor porcentaje (28%). Las razas más populares, además de la raza gato a secas, tan queribles como todos los demás, son Americano, Siamés, Persa y Birmano.

Los amantes de los gatos los defienden porque son independientes; los amantes de los perros, porque buscan su cariño, les "hacen fiesta" cuando llegan y entienden mejor sus órdenes. La verdad es que ambos animales son una constante fuente de motivación y alegría para grandes y chicos.

El lenguaje de los gatos

Los gatos son animales habitualmente silenciosos y sólo raramente hacen oír su voz, que consiste en el típico maullido, el cual, según el humor, las circunstancias y el temperamento del gato, puede presentar muchas variaciones de intensidad, entonación y duración.

Se ha comprobado que los gatos emiten más de 60 maullidos diferentes, una especie de lenguaje rudimentario, incomprensible para nosotros. Sólo durante la época del celo, los gatos se vuelven más "habladores", sobre todo de noche, cuando entonan las conocidas serenatas nocturnas.

Un sonido particular emitido por el gato es el conocido ronroneo, ronco, sordo y continuo. También tienen un maullido especial para los seres humanos y que no lo utilizan con sus congéneres.
El ronroneo se trata de la expresión de la máxima sensación de placer, así como de salud y bienestar (hay que decir también, que a veces, también ronronean los gatos muy enfermos, quizás para expresar el alivio que le produce la presencia humana amiga).

 

 

Como elegir el nombre adecuado

nombre adecuado

cat | 19.10.2012

Para realizar una correcta elección del nombre para nuestro gatito en esta guía encontraremos más de 1000 nombres para hembras y machos.
Para facilitar esta importante decisión se sugiere ir anotando al final de cada categoría los nombres que nos gusten de cada sección, orientarnos por el pelaje, su personalidad, su característica más sobresaliente, en honor a alguien, etc..
Debemos elegirlo bien ya que el mismo dará información a terceros sobre las características del animal y también la de su tutor, además influirá en el preconcepto sobre su gato, si por ejemplo si el apodo está relacionado con lo místico, es probable que personas supersticiosas se sientan incomodadas o en el caso de un nombre erótico despertará curiosidad, sonrisas o pudor, bueno pero recordemos que nuestros amigos los gatos son especiales en todo sentido, así que tenemos la libertad de elegir el nombre que más nos guste.
A partir de ese momento podemos iniciar el debate con todos los integrantes de la familia para decidirnos por el más indicado o adecuado para nuestro minino.

Rolands petersons cpm trading

Rolands petersons cpm trading GDP will go on increasing, but a little bit more slowly. Forecasts for 2018 are 4,2%, but in 2019 - 3,7%. It should be mentioned that in 2017 GDP was 4,6%[1].
Rolands petersons cpm trading
Poland should think more about the agricultural production export area. Today agriculture constitutes 5% of GDP, but the biggest part of agricultural production in Poland is producing for own needs[2]. Export products for the most part are milk products, meat and potatoes.
Rolands petersons cpm trading By developing its infrastructure, Poland would be able to succeed exports.

Aleynet | 08.11.2018

Transport and logistics industries are of particular importance for the Latvian economy since they have a steady GDP growth and provide services to virtually all other sectors of the national economy. Every year it is emphasized that this sector should be recognized as a priority and extend its promotion, however, the representatives of the transport and logistics sector are looking forward to more concrete and long-term solutions.Rolands petersons privatbank

9.1% of the value added to the GDP of Latvia

Despite the political and economic changes of the last decade, the influence of the transport and logistics industry on the economy of our country remains high: in 2016 the sector increased the value added to the GDP by 9.1%. Moreover, the average monthly gross wage is still higher then in other sectors - in 2016 in other sectors of the economy it was 859 euros, whereas in storage and transportation sector the average gross wage is about 870 euros (1,562 euros - water transport, 2,061 euros - air transport, 1059 euros in the of storage and auxiliary transport activities, etc.).

Special economic area as an additional support Rolands petersons privatbank

The positive examples of the logistics industry are the ports that have developed a good structure. Riga and Ventspils ports function as free ports, and the Liepaja port is included in the Liepaja Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Companies operating in free ports and SEZ can receive not only the 0 tax rate for customs, excise, and value-added tax but also a discount of up to 80% of the company's income and up to 100% of the real estate tax.Rolands petersons privatbank The port is actively implementing various investment projects related to the construction and development of industrial and distribution parks. The attraction of investments promotes the creation of higher added value, development of production, expansion of a spectrum of given services and creation of new workplaces. It is necessary to bring to the attention the small ports - SKULTE, Mersrags, SALACGRiVA, Pavilosta, Roja, Jurmala, and Engure, which currently occupy a stable position in the Latvian economy and have already become regional economic activity centers.Rolands petersons privatbank

Port of Liepaja, will be the next Rotterdam.Rolands petersons privatbank

There is also a wide range of opportunities for growth, and a number of actions that can be taken to meet projected targets. There is a strong need for the services with high added value, the increase of the processed volumes of cargo by attracting new freight flows, high-quality passenger service and an introduction of modern technologies and information systems in the area of transit and logistics.Rolands petersons privatbank Liepaja port has all the chances to become the second Rotterdam in the foreseeable future.

Latvia as a distribution center for cargos from Asia and the Far East.

One of the most important issues for further growth of the port and special economic zone is the development of logistics and distribution centers, mainly focusing on the attraction of goods from Asia and the Far East.Rolands petersons privatbank Latvia can serve as a distribution center for cargos in the Baltic and Scandinavian countries for Asia and the Far East (f.e. China, Korea). The tax regime of the Liepaja Special Economic Zone in accordance with the Law "On Taxation in Free Ports and Special Economic Zones" on December 31, 2035. This allows traders to conclude an agreement on investment and tax concession until December 31, 2035, until they reach a contractual level of assistance from the investments made.Rolands petersons privatbank Considering the range of benefits provided by this status, it is necessary to consider the possible extension of the term.

Infrastructure development and expansion of warehouse space

Our advantage lies in the fact that there is not only a strategic geographical position but also a developed infrastructure that includes deep-water berths, cargo terminals, pipelines and territories free from the cargo terminal.Rolands petersons privatbank Apart from this, we can add a good structure of pre-industrial zone, distribution park, multi-purpose technical equipment, as well as the high level of security not only in terms of delivery but also in terms of the storage and handling of goods.Rolands petersons privatbank In the future, it would be advisable to pay more attention to access roads (railways and highways), increase the volume of storage facilities, and increase the number of services provided by ports.Rolands petersons privatbank Participation in international industry exhibitions and conferences will make it possible to attract additional foreign investments and will contribute to the improvement of international image.Rolands petersons privatbank

The transport development has caused objective problems for traffic in cities around the world, including Latvia, and the reason for this is a rapid increase in the number of vehicles.Rolands petersons cpm trading Road congestion is the most urgent problem in a trip planning because it affects the total time of transportation and, therefore, costs that have a particular relevance to the logistics industry.Rolands petersons cpm trading The quality of the roads, a painful subject in the past, has a significant impact on transportation time. Without high-quality roads, it is impossible to improve the efficiency of transport, which, in the context of economic globalization, is said to be one of the main directions for the logistics development.Rolands petersons cpm trading

Promises against statistics

At the end of 2017, according to the report "Global Competitiveness Index", which was annually compiled by experts from the World Economic Forum, Latvia was not ranked among the top 100 countries of the world's rating.Rolands petersons cpm trading (out of 137 countries participating in the ranking, Latvia took 107th place, and Lithuania and Estonia took the 37th and 38th places) Despite this, VAS (State Roads of Latvia) announced that, despite the increase in traffic on Latvian roads, their quality has been improved in recent years.Rolands petersons cpm trading

EU assessment - Stable 3 points.

In 2017, 65.1 million euros were spent on the development of the national roads, including 32.3 million for the summer period works, and 32.8 million for the winter period works.Rolands petersons cpm trading In the same year, it was also planned to spend 37 million more, compared with the previous year.Rolands petersons cpm trading However, even these investments have not resulted in the average level of road quality in the European Union. According to the latest report, the average level in the EU is estimated at 4.76 points, Latvia, compared to that has been given 3.05 points.

The state of the roads not only hinders the development of the logistics industry but also contributes to the disproportionate level and the pace of social and economic development of the regions.Rolands petersons cpm trading The most remote regions of Latvia can develop tourism facilities, offer industrial premises for entrepreneurs, etc. however, if there is no road system to get to these cites, no results shall be expected.Rolands petersons cpm trading

Financing is eight times less than it needs to be.

"Requests for the organization of roads," "Road quality is catastrophic" - these headlines often appear in the mass media, while road maps try to reduce the existing damage by implementation of available sources, however, there is no sign of a significant improvement, when the funding is eight times less than it is necessary. At the same time, we make the mistake of struggling only with the consequences of the disease, when we need to identify the root of the problem and take the preventive measures.

One of the main problems that can be figured out now is the climate of the country, which in Latvia will not change significantly in the future, therefore, the problem will remain constant.Rolands petersons cpm trading The number of vehicles will also increase, so the question is: how to increase financing, which is the most important addition to the urgent issues. 130 million euros are required annually for maintenance and repair works of local and gravel roads but this amount cannot be provided only by EU funds. It is also completely unclear how the situation will look like in 2020, after the end of EU funding program.Rolands petersons cpm trading

Transport and logistics industries are of particular importance for the Latvian economy since they have a steady GDP growth and provide services to virtually all other sectors of the national economy.Rolands petersons cpm trading Every year it is emphasized that this sector should be recognized as a priority and extend its promotion, however, the representatives of the transport and logistics sector are looking forward to more concrete and long-term solutions.Rolands petersons cpm trading

9.1% of the value added to the GDP of Latvia

Despite the political and economic changes of the last decade, the influence of the transport and logistics industry on the economy of our country remains high: in 2016 the sector increased the value added to the GDP by 9.1%. Moreover, the average monthly gross wage is still higher then in other sectors - in 2016 in other sectors of the economy it was 859 euros, whereas in storage and transportation sector the average gross wage is about 870 euros (1,562 euros - water transport, 2,061 euros - air transport, 1059 euros in the of storage and auxiliary transport activities, etc.).

Special economic area as an additional support

The positive examples of the logistics industry are the ports that have developed a good structure.Rolands petersons cpm trading Riga and Ventspils ports function as free ports, and the Liepaja port is included in the Liepaja Special Economic Zone (SEZ). Companies operating in free ports and SEZ can receive not only the 0 tax rate for customs, excise, and value-added tax but also a discount of up to 80% of the company's income and up to 100% of the real estate tax.Rolands petersons cpm trading The port is actively implementing various investment projects related to the construction and development of industrial and distribution parks. The attraction of investments promotes the creation of higher added value, development of production, expansion of a spectrum of given services and creation of new workplaces. It is necessary to bring to the attention the small ports - SKULTE, Mersrags, SALACGRiVA, Pavilosta, Roja, Jurmala, and Engure, which currently occupy a stable position in the Latvian economy and have already become regional economic activity centers.

Port of Liepaja, will be the next Rotterdam.

There is also a wide range of opportunities for growth, and a number of actions that can be taken to meet projected targets.Rolands petersons cpm trading There is a strong need for the services with high added value, the increase of the processed volumes of cargo by attracting new freight flows, high-quality passenger service and an introduction of modern technologies and information systems in the area of transit and logistics. Liepaja port has all the chances to become the second Rotterdam in the foreseeable future.Rolands petersons cpm trading

Latvia as a distribution center for cargos from Asia and the Far East.

One of the most important issues for further growth of the port and special economic zone is the development of logistics and distribution centers, mainly focusing on the attraction of goods from Asia and the Far East.Rolands petersons cpm trading Latvia can serve as a distribution center for cargos in the Baltic and Scandinavian countries for Asia and the Far East (f.e. China, Korea). The tax regime of the Liepaja Special Economic Zone in accordance with the Law "On Taxation in Free Ports and Special Economic Zones" on December 31, 2035.Rolands petersons cpm trading This allows traders to conclude an agreement on investment and tax concession until December 31, 2035, until they reach a contractual level of assistance from the investments made. Considering the range of benefits provided by this status, it is necessary to consider the possible extension of the term.

Infrastructure development and expansion of warehouse space

Our advantage lies in the fact that there is not only a strategic geographical position but also a developed infrastructure that includes deep-water berths, cargo terminals, pipelines and territories free from the cargo terminal. Apart from this, we can add a good structure of pre-industrial zone, distribution park, multi-purpose technical equipment, as well as the high level of security not only in terms of delivery but also in terms of the storage and handling of goods. In the future, it would be advisable to pay more attention to access roads (railways and highways), increase the volume of storage facilities, and increase the number of services provided by ports. Participation in international industry exhibitions and conferences will make it possible to attract additional foreign investments and will contribute to the improvement of international image.Rolands petersons cpm trading

The transport development has caused objective problems for traffic in cities around the world, including Latvia, and the reason for this is a rapid increase in the number of vehicles. Road congestion is the most urgent problem in a trip planning because it affects the total time of transportation and, therefore, costs that have a particular relevance to the logistics industry. The quality of the roads, a painful subject in the past, has a significant impact on transportation time. Without high-quality roads, it is impossible to improve the efficiency of transport, which, in the context of economic globalization, is said to be one of the main directions for the logistics development.Rolands petersons privatbank

Promises against statistics

At the end of 2017, according to the report "Global Competitiveness Index", which was annually compiled by experts from the World Economic Forum, Latvia was not ranked among the top 100 countries of the world's rating. (out of 137 countries participating in the ranking, Latvia took 107th place, and Lithuania and Estonia took the 37th and 38th places) Despite this, VAS (State Roads of Latvia) announced that, despite the increase in traffic on Latvian roads, their quality has been improved in recent years.

EU assessment - Stable 3 points.

In 2017, 65.1 million euros were spent on the development of the national roads, including 32.3 million for the summer period works, and 32.8 million for the winter period works.Rolands petersons privatbank In the same year, it was also planned to spend 37 million more, compared with the previous year. However, even these investments have not resulted in the average level of road quality in the European Union.Rolands petersons privatbank According to the latest report, the average level in the EU is estimated at 4.76 points, Latvia, compared to that has been given 3.05 points.

The state of the roads not only hinders the development of the logistics industry but also contributes to the disproportionate level and the pace of social and economic development of the regions.Rolands petersons privatbank The most remote regions of Latvia can develop tourism facilities, offer industrial premises for entrepreneurs, etc. however, if there is no road system to get to these cites, no results shall be expected.Rolands petersons privatbank

Financing is eight times less than it needs to be.

"Requests for the organization of roads," "Road quality is catastrophic" - these headlines often appear in the mass media, while road maps try to reduce the existing damage by implementation of available sources, however, there is no sign of a significant improvement, when the funding is eight times less than it is necessary.Rolands petersons privatbank At the same time, we make the mistake of struggling only with the consequences of the disease, when we need to identify the root of the problem and take the preventive measures.

One of the main problems that can be figured out now is the climate of the country, which in Latvia will not change significantly in the future, therefore, the problem will remain constant.Rolands petersons privatbank The number of vehicles will also increase, so the question is: how to increase financing, which is the most important addition to the urgent issues.Rolands petersons privatbank 130 million euros are required annually for maintenance and repair works of local and gravel roads but this amount cannot be provided only by EU funds. It is also completely unclear how the situation will look like in 2020, after the end of EU funding program.

Without the excise tax on fuel, there is no chance for survival

The fact that the change is expected in 2020, the spring of 2018 is said to be the moment to start an intensive work and stimulate actions - change existing arrangements related to the existing tax system (only a third of the tax, paid by road users, are redirected to roads).Rolands petersons privatbank The time when it was possible to pull out a part of the income from tax has passed. Furthermore, we need to increase the number of public-private partnership projects in the sphere of the road construction, although this stage requires a proper preparation.Rolands petersons privatbank

Rolands Petersons, member of the board of CPM Trading SIA,
Railway transport is one of the most promising modes of inland transport, and, at the moment, it is said to be the crucial element in the economy of Latvia.Rolands petersons cpm trading Considering the entire volume of inland transport, the share of railway freight is about 52%, whereas the volume of the passenger transportation is 6% and in Riga suburban area the number is increasing up to 30%. However, the data summarized by the Ministry of Communications still shows that in Latvia the volume of freight rail transportation by comparison with 2016 has decreased by 8.4% and amounted to 43.792 million tons.

Traffic congestion can lead to a loss of 200 billion euros
The mobility of goods is an essential component of the EU internal market; this greatly contributes to the competitiveness of the industry and services in Europe.Rolands petersons cpm trading The types of lengthy transportation as railway can reduce their costs, which arise in connection with the traffic congestion on the roads. The increase of approximately 50% is projected by the year 2050, reaching a volume of almost 200 billion euros per year.Rolands petersons cpm trading

In the future, it is possible to increase the volume of rail transportation.
The amount of international rail transportation in 2017 was 42.138 million tons, which showed a decline of 9.1% compared to 2016. However, domestic traffic has increased by 11.5% to 1.653 million tonnes.Rolands petersons cpm trading The volume of transit cargo from the total amount of international rail freight transport amounted to 38.719 million tons, which showed a drop of 6.5% compared to the previous year, the volume of imported goods was 3.067 million tons, or 22.4% less, and the volume of export cargo was 351 800 tons, which was a drop of 2.8 times.Rolands petersons cpm trading In 2016, in Latvia, by rail, 47.821 million tons were transported. Taking into consideration the decline in the international transport sector in 2017, the question is, by which means can we achieve the volume increase? By implementation of the well-considered long-term solutions, it is possible to get back to the level that used to be before the embargo against Russia was introduced in 2013.Rolands petersons cpm trading

Increase of the average commercial speed of freight trains.
One of the key priorities nowadays is the development of the railway infrastructure, and in this case, it is expected, the railway infrastructure can be financed by the European Union.Rolands petersons cpm trading It is essential to find a solution how to increase the average commercial speed of freight trains since the speed is only about 18 km/h on the majority international routes in Europe. One of the solutions can be the improvement of cooperation between existing infrastructure organizations in Europe.Rolands petersons cpm trading The actual train system needs to be adapted to the needs of the railway freight transport sector, especially in the EU freight rail corridors. This would contribute to the competitiveness of rail transport with other modes of transport, especially with the road transport sector, which infrastructure is easily accessible in all Member States.

Well-thought-out charge for the use of infrastructure.
Freight trains pay for each kilometer of the railway infrastructure, which again adversely affects the competitiveness of the railway in comparison with road transport, where such charge is not always introduced. Setting the price that users are required to pay for getting into the infrastructure, it would be necessary to take into account the impact on the environment and pollution, congestion, accidents and other aspects.Rolands petersons cpm trading
The state should provide a proper support for organizations managing infrastructure, and rail transport enterprises should strive to improve the competitiveness of rail freight services, especially in regards to reliability, filling, elasticity, customer orientation, and the duration and cost of transportation, as these are the main aspects which are considered by an average consignor in selecting any of the available modes of transport.Rolands petersons cpm trading

Elimination imperfections in the liberalization of the freight transport process
In cooperation with both, the public and private sectors, at the international level, imperfections related to the liberalization of freight rail transport, communication lines procedures, administrative and technical restrictions, monitoring and anticipating performance in the rail freight industry, and fair competition between different modes of transportation. Therefore, it is necessary to find out the ways to make a better use of available EU funding and target it to the rail transport industry in order to achieve improvements in such areas as a coherent approach to policy objectives and funding (while focusing on corridors for freight railways transportation), for the selection, planning and management of projects, as well as for the maintenance of railroad networks.Rolands petersons cpm trading

Not only update, but also regularly support
It is essential to take to the new level not only the quality of the services provided to carriers and shippers of rail freight but, in general, to improve the competitiveness of rail freight transport; infrastructure managing organizations should not only update and modernize the railway network but also to regularly support it.Rolands petersons cpm trading This is especially important for the corridors of rail freight. If the tracks are not properly maintained, the speed limits will have to be applied and the railway lines will gradually be obstructed.Rolands petersons cpm trading

The free movement of goods, services, capital, and people-these are the pillars that form an essential foundation for welfare and employment in Europe.Rolands Petersons privatbank Mobility is the fundamental premise for these four core values to be strengthened not only in the domestic market but also beyond its borders.Rolands Petersons privatbank This is particularly significant in the Baltic Sea region, where a well thought-out and developed transport system is one of the positive development factors. Flight-related activities have both direct and indirect impact on the economy. The direct impact includes the income derived from the activities of airline personnel and ground handling workers, whereas the indirect input implies all purchases in the aviation sector from locally based suppliers who basically do not represent the aviation sector. Additional impact on the economy of Latvia is formed by the costs of aviation sector employees and service providers.

More than 30 airports are located in Lithuania

There are four international airports operating in Lithuania - in Kaunas, Palanga, Siauliai, and, of course, in Vilnius, and there are more than 30 smaller airports and military airfields. In Estonia, airports are mainly located in the capital in Tallinn, as well as in Tartu, Kuressaare, Kerdle and Parnu. These are international airports, however, there are more than 15 private and military airports and so-called airports of local importance located throughout the country. Latvia still has only two international airports - in Riga and in Liepaja; there are also small airdromes, for example, in Spilva, in Tukums and Ventspils, and several other military flight platforms though. Riga International Airport entered the top five rapidly growing airports in Europe last year, which lead to an increase in the number of passengers by 16.2%. Therefore, it underscores the fact that even though the airport in Liepaja will have to put a lot of time and effort to its development, it brings a great potential, which can give a significant and valuable contribution to the domestic economy of the country.Rolands Petersons privatbank

A successful start is taken after reconstruction

The airport in Liepaja did a great job - in 2015 after its reconstruction was completed. At the airport a significant drainage effort was undertaken, a new cover for the take-off track was laid, the take-off strip was reinforced, the cover of the shunting route was improved and expanded, parking places for the aircraft were renovated as well. After Liepaja Airport was certified for commercial flights for the summer season in 2016, the Latvian national airline "AirBaltic" launched regular flights between Riga and Liepaja. During the first half of that year, more than 4,780 passengers were transported along this route. The five most popular destinations for transit flights along the Liepaja route include London, Berlin, Moscow, Copenhagen, and Hamburg, which, in general, brought very good results.Rolands Petersons privatbank
Keeping in mind the processes that are still underway, it is important to mention the extensive capacity-building of the airports, environment protection in a long-term, enhancement of cooperation with other regional airports in Europe.Rolands Petersons privatbank It is not enough for Latvia to have only one high-capacity airport - we have a regional leader who can serve as an example of a successful market behavior for others.Rolands Petersons privatbank

Support strategy for attracting new aviation communities

Liepaja airport is the only example nowadays in terms of Latvian regional airports, however, I see several competitive regional airports in Latvia. To promote their development, a thorough analysis of the passengers' potential is needed, starting with linking their activities with the existing types of transport in the surrounding region, forming a support strategy to attract new aviation communities, passengers, and additional services for client groups, bearing in mind that the added value of airports is formed by airlines operating there, strategic cooperation partners and service providers.Rolands Petersons privatbank Without a doubt, it is also essential to study the ultimate goals of tourist destinations, in order to promote the growth of the travel market and ensure its positive impact on the economy.Rolands Petersons privatbank

Infrastructure for a variety multifaceted of commercial activities

The strategic objective of the regional airports is a creation of the favorable and unified conditions for the enterprises and institutions operating there, as well as to proactive procurement of a sufficient infrastructure for the development various of commercial activities. It is also necessary to develop new ways of cooperation in order to actively identify airlines that are ready to join the development of new travel destinations and to expand their market share in the airport.Rolands Petersons privatbank Apart from this, it is necessary to work on the incentive prerequisites for launching new flights.
The imperfection of the transport system can no longer be an obstacle, with the 85 million inhabitants who live in the Baltic Sea region, who can be isolated or cut off from the rest of the European Union,Rolands Petersons privatbank or may face serious travel problems. The power generated by the economy and innovation provides the Baltic Sea Region with opportunities to create a modern, forward-looking transport system that will also contribute to the creation of a socially balanced economic policy.

EL GATO Y EL TIGRE

Cuenta la historia que el gato enseñó a pelear al Tigre

cuando este aún era pequeño...

mostrole las artes milenarias y olvidadas de los felinos,

el tigre manifestó la excelsa gallardía

del más imponente de todos los de su especie

cientos de lunas pasaron...

y el tigre se hizo grande y fuerte...

entonces llegaron los malos tiempos,

en los que la razón es empañada por la turbiedad del alma,

y entonces sucedió que el tigre se enfrentó a su maestro el gato...

desigual batalla, inminente desenlace....

Entonces, cuando todos los preceptos que el mentor había depositado

en el prominente pupilo decididamente se habían venido en su contra,

utilizó su secreto mejor guardado,

esa parte del conocimiento que nunca le explicó a su alumno

ese camino misterioso que cada maestro hace de su luminosa senda,

y en un  bosquejo de excepcional determinación de su sin igual grandeza;

el gato trepo al arbol, dejando en el suelo al tigre...

quien nunca más pudo alcanzarle,

 el maestro vivió en su nuevo sitio, las alturas

y el mal alumno, en los suelos...

 

Moraleja: Nunca enseñes todo lo que sabes ni muestres todo lo que eres

porque a veces ese silencio puede hacer la diferencia....  entre grandeza e ineptitud.

Razas de gatos

En la actualidad existen en torno a 100 razas oficialmente reconocidas por las distintas federaciones internacionales, todas ellas con su propia morfología, a menudo marcada por las condiciones climáticas de sus lugares de origen o como obra directa de la mano del hombre.

El American Curl suele ser un gato robusto y sano. En los ejemplares de pelo largo se podrían presentar casos de tricobezoares (bolas de pelo en el aparato digestivo) fácilmente tratables con alguna solución a base de aceite de parafina.

Clasificación

El Angora Turco, a decir de muchos entendidos, podría ser la raza felina más antigua y origen de muchas de las actuales. Lo cierto es que, de estos bellos animales, ya se tiene constancia en varios países del Oriente Próximo desde tiempos Bizantinos. Como anécdota; la leyenda de que el fundador de la Turquía moderna, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, regresará al mundo de los vivos reencarnándose en un Angora Turco.

Origen

El Angora Turco es originario de Turquía. Su difusión entre los países vecinos empezó entre los siglos X y XII fomentada especialmente por el gran tráfico de mercaderes. A Occidente, sin embargo, no llegaría hasta el siglo XVI, una vez más, de la mano de comerciantes; ingleses y franceses. La raza empezó a ganar protagonismo entre la nobleza de la época y hoy en día sigue siendo una de las más apreciadas. La raza se oficializó en los años setenta, tanto en USA como en Europa.

Comportamiento

El Angora Turco es un gato independiente y temperamental aunque se mostrará habitualmente  dócil y cariñoso. Se trata de un gato muy inteligente y juguetón, le encantará entretenerse con pequeñas pelotas. Con un poco de práctica, será capaz de devolvérnoslas si se las lanzamos, adoptando un comportamiento más propio de un perro. 
Se adaptará bien a cualquier entorno siempre que disponga de total movimiento. Con los niños suelen comportarse muy pacientemente.

Aspecto

Angora TurcoEl Angora Turco es un gato mediano, elegante y musculoso.  La cabeza es más bien pequeña y triangular. Las orejas son grandes y puntiagudas. Respecto a los ojos; son grandes y ovalados en cualquier color o dispares. Poseen un pelaje semilargo, de textura muy sedosa y sin pelusa lanosa. A los machos adultos se les suele formar un abundante collar. En cuanto a los colores; el más apreciado es el blanco aunque se admiten todas las tonalidades excepto el factor Burmés y los colores chocolate, lila, fawn y canela.

Cuidados específicos

El Angora Turco no necesitará un cuidado demasiado exhaustivo, tan sólo cepillados esporádicos. Su larga cabellera nunca se apelmaza al no poseer pelusa lanosa.

Salud

El Angora Turco suele ser un gato sano y longevo. En los ejemplares blancos existe riesgo de sordera congénita, especialmente en los ejemplares de ojos dorados y dispares. Debido al largor de su pelaje, también se podrían presentar casos de tricobezoares (bolas de pelo en el aparato digestivo), fácilmente tratables con alguna solución a base de aceite de parafina.

 

 

 

Cuidados básicos

Las mascotas pueden ser un foco de contagio. Pero unos cuidados básicos de higiene y salud bastan para evitarlo. La desparasitación, vacunación y control veterinario son las principales medidas a tener en cuenta.

Sin embargo, cuando hablamos de gatos viene a la mente la toxoplasmosis. Se trata de una enfermedad infecciosa, que en general no es grave para la mayoría de la población pero que puede tener graves consecuencias en embarazadas, ya que el parásito circula en la sangre y puede llegar a la placenta.

El contagio no se produce por estar en contacto con un gato. Para que ellos representen algún riesgo, el animal debe contraer la enfermedad. Esto ocurre normalmente cuando come carne cruda (que alguien le da o de algún roedor o ave que él mismo haya cazado). Es decir, si el gato vive en un departamento, sin salir a la calle y sin terraza, la posibilidad de que se enferme es mínima.

Sin embargo, el contacto con la materia fecal del gato también es vía de contagio. “El gato puede eliminar oosquistes (una especie de huevos no maduros) en la materia fecal, que luego de 24 o 48 horas maduran en el ambiente y se vuelven infecciosos. Los gatos sólo eliminan ooquistes entre las cuatro semanas y los cuatro meses de vida, luego no, excepto que presenten una baja en la inmunidad”, aclara el médico veterinario Gustavo Bartella, docente de Histología y Embriología de la Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias de la Universidad de Buenos Aires.

¿Cómo prevenir el contagio? “Se deben remover todos los días las heces o materia fecal de la mascota. Y si se los alimenta con carne, hay que cocinarla muy bien”, dice Bartella

Anécdota

En una ocasión, una gata embarazada se fue de la casa durante la inundación pasada, dos semanas después, cuando la creímos muerta, regresó a dar a luz.

Una vez en la colonia del Coloso, en una de esas casitas de infonavit, había dos gatas, una se llamaba Nieve y la otra Cindy y siempre andaban juntas. 
Ahí vivía la señora Francis a quien le gustaban mucho los animalitos y siempre les daba de comer. 
Un día Cindy tuvo a sus gatitos y los quería meter a la casa de la señora pero ella no la dejó. Pasaron algunos meses y la otra gatita, Nieve, tuvo sus crías y también hizo lo mismo: las metió a la casa de la señora Francis, pero esta vez ella no la sacó y dejó que metiera a sus gatitos; incluso la acomodó y le puso un cartón para que durmieran ahí, pero la gatita siempre los quitaba de donde los acomodaba la señora y los ponía en otro lugar más escondido. 
Una tarde, la señora encontró a un gatito muerto y se puso triste. En otra ocasión cuando llegó de su trabajo se encontró con que Cindy (a la que no dejó entrar con sus gatos) había matado al gatito de Nieve. La señora se preguntaba por qué había hecho eso si ambas se llevaban bien, pero se puso a reflexionar y sacó como conclusión que quizá la gatita se puso celosa porque no había dejado entrar a sus gatitos y a los de la otra sí.

Esto es algo verídico ya que pasó hace algunos meses en la casa de la familia Campos Ríos.

curiosidades sobre los gatos

Los gatos pueden percibir olores con la boca

Además de hacerlo con la nariz, los gatos huelen con un órgano, llamado de Jacobson, situado en la parte superior de la boca.

La leyenda de las 7 vidas

Se debe a que muchas veces llegan a sobrevivir a caídas realmente graves, esto se debe a la maravillosa capacidad que tienen de darse vuelta en el aire y aterrizar en cuatro patas. Se dice que algunos gatos que han caído de pisos bajos, no lograron una caída "perfecta" debido a la rápida...

Los gatos ven a colores. Sin embargo, el número que perciben es limitado y depende de la cantidad de luz

Por esto, durante la noche ven a blanco y negro, pero distinguen mejor los objetos y las distancias.

Cada gato tiene su propio maullido y ronroneo

Pueden que dos gatos tengan un ronroneo parecido, pero a pesar de todo siempre existe alguna diferencia.

Lo gatos también tienen estrés

Los gatos tienen estrés, la forma en la que se liberan de ello es arañar objetos en posición vertical, así se relajan porque ese estiramiento activa su circulación sanguínea y tonifica su cuerpo gracias al estiramiento que se produce.
