Most of the graduate trips to Bariloche could return some time after the start of school classes. Tourism and education ministers are rescheduling the trips. At this time all the trips are suspended but for September or October they could return. Although there are now more than 200 cases of coronavirus in Bariloche, according to Víctor Alfaro, from the Student Tourism Association, there are health protocols so that trips can be made. The highest authorities in Tourism and Education highlighted that the first students to travel to Bariloche will be those who live in provinces, where they have entered phase 5 of quarantine. Those students belong to 40%, the remaining 60% of the students are in Capital Federal or the province of Buenos Aires, who could return in November.

Environment vs. Society: a race against time

-
Image
  Over the last few decades society´s noxious industrial activities have been causing environmental imbalance, such as biodiversity´s loss and increasing numbers of global warming effects. Firstly, commercial farmers are being blamed for the fires along the Paraná River and the Amazon, due to the clearing vegetation during the annual dry season to grow crops for export, causing the destruction of thousands of acres of wetlands. Additionally, the melting of Greenland and Antartica ice sheets have raised the global sea level by 1.8cm since the 1990s, and are matching the IPCC's worst-case climate warming scenarios. Alternatively, livestock farming has a vast environmental footprint (it contributes 18% of human produced greenhouse gas emissions worldwide), as well as the fast fashion industry, which produces 10% of global CO2 emissions every year and uses 1.5 trillion litres of water annually. However, governments are still looking for an efficient course of action, yet the environmen...

SCHOOL TRIP TO VILLA GENERAL BELGRANO

-
In the second yearcamping trip we went to Córdoba to a big house with a huge countryside that had games and you could play soccer, volleyball, go for a walk. It also had a small house next to it where you could go up on the roof and see with microscopes the stars. In a cabin with that huge countryside we spent almost the entire camp The rooms in the cabin were for many people so the 3 of us went together with some other friends. On the last day we went downtown to buy souvenirs and gifts for our families. Although the journey lasted like 12 hours it was the best camp we had.

MATÍAS HERRERO, AN EX DELIANO LIVING IN AUSTRALIA

-
Image
Last 1st of September we had the opportunity and pleasure to interview  Matías Herrero, an ex-student of the Ángel D’Elía Institute who used to live in Argentina and moved away to Australia in 2006. He shared with us his opinions about Australian culture, the Covid-19 situation as well as the story of his life since he graduated from school. It has been an honour for all 6th year students and teachers.            AUSSIE CULTURE When asked about the Australian culture, Matias tells us that it has not been difficult for him to adapt. He shares the similarities with the Argentinian culture by saying that Aussies also love planning meetings outdoors and having barbecues or picnics.  This is because in Australia nature is what they respect the most, so for them it is essential to be eco friendly and learn how to connect with the environment . For example, Matias explains that if someone dumps some rubbish in the streets, they will be fined heavily...

ZIMBABWE: ELEPHANTS DIE FROM 'BACTERIAL DISEASE'

-
Image
  Wildlife officials in Zimbabwe say they suspect a bacterial disease is responsible for the deaths of more than 30 elephants since late August. The elephants were found lying on their stomachs, which experts suggests they died suddenly. Park officials do not believe they were the victims of poaching as their tusks had not been removed. Earlier this year hundreds of elephants were found dead in Botswana from a type of bacterial poisoning. Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority assert that about 34 elephants have been found so far. However it's thought that there may be others which have not yet been found. The animals were discovered in and around forests between Hwange National Park and Victoria Falls. Post-mortem examinations of some of the elephants found they had inflamed livers and other organs.

The George Floyd protests may become a defining moment in the future of American politics

-

Winning elections requires much more than voting on November 3. Highly engaged activists rallying their social networks to turn out to vote will be crucial to this year polls success. It is clear that organizations play an important role in channeling the outrage and enthusiasm of the activism into streets into efforts to register and turnout voters. The recent protests have emerged despite limited organizational infrastructure. Whether protesters can leverage this moment of heightened engagement and participation into meaningful political change may hinge on the abilities of organizations to develop the capacity to work in communities.

QUARANTINE SCENE: MARKETS IN BUENOS AIRES

-
According to the analysis of Fecoba (Federación de Comercio e Industria de la Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires), near the 20% of the shops in Capital closed down permanently since March 20th. The reason isn’t only quarantine but also the fact that they don’t know how much time it will last, so they can’t plan a strategy to survive and they still have to pay fixed costs. Furthermore, the markets that were able to open their doors billed around the 25% and 30% from the same period of last year. On the other hand, expectations aren’t high neither. The IAE Business School (Austral University) did a studio of 120 firms in which the 84% of them said they were expecting their sales to decrease. The studio also shows that the 63% of the companies took only short-term decisions without looking their long-term impact. REFERENCES Cabrero, D. T. (23 de Junio de 2020). Persianas bajas.

THE VENUS AWAKENS

-
Image
Since the first moment we started looking up to the sky, we wondered if life exists in other places of the universe. This idea has become more important in recent years, due to the discovery of a no-border universe. And it is even more incredible, that a neighbouring planet, Venus, might well host life. Telescopes have detected unusually high concentrations of the molecule phosphine, a stinky, flammable chemical, associated with microbial activity. It is worth highlighting that it is a by-product of metabolic processes in living creatures. Phosphine is a relatively simple molecule containing one phosphorus atom and three hydrogen atoms. So, is there life on Venus? This answer might be answered in some years, when the “Venus in-situ Explorer” arrives on Venus. This NASA´s project is supposed to be launched in 2022, as a part of the “New Frontiers” program. REFERENCES Nature, F. G. (14 de September de 2020).

Jujuy

     In 2018 we went to Jujuy, Tilcara, a small quiet town. We stayed in a hostel surrounded by a lot of mountains. On this trip we had a lot of activities apart from than the other trips.        Firstly we spent 24 hours on a bus but it wasn't boring because we talked, played and watched movies with all our friends the entire ride.  As we arrived at the hostel they asked us to please be quiet because in front of the hostel a funeral was taking place , so we stayed in silence and saw  a traditional funeral in Jujuy.      Along the trip, we got to know and saw lots of beautiful sightseeings like the hill of 7 colours and the salinas. From our point of view the best excursion was the salinas, this place was so beautiful.      Finally, on the last day we suffered a scary situation because three students were missing. The teachers were trying to stay calm but it was quite a problem. Two of them went in search of the ...
