The towns that benefited from 1,000 copies each were La Criolla, Los Charrúas, Colonia Roca, Clodomiro Ledesma and El Redomón. The representatives of these communities, Andrea Imoberdoff (Municipal President of Los Charrúas), Fernando Astudilla (Communal President of Clodomiro Ledesma), María Inés Capriotti (President of the Governing Board of Colonia Roca), Roberto Benay (President of the Governing Board of El Redomón) and Antonio Panozzo (Secretary of Government of La Criolla), were accompanied by Silvina Fleitas, Coordinator of Boards and Communes of the Concordia Department, during the delivery.

Municipal President Francisco Azcué stressed the importance of this program: “Access to books is a fundamental right, and with these libraries we seek to ensure that everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, has access to educational resources. It is key to strengthening education in rural areas, and we will continue working so that more communities can enjoy these opportunities,” said Azcué.

For his part, the Undersecretary of Education, Carlos Gatto, expressed his satisfaction at being able to bring these resources to the rural towns of the department. “Not only do we bring knowledge with this delivery of books, but we also contribute to forming reading communities, strengthening the social fabric in each of these places with quality educational materials,” he said.

The initiative was made possible by the efforts of the Undersecretary of Education with the Argentine Rural Libraries Program and had the logistical support of the Salto Grande Joint Technical Commission (CTM) for the transfer of books from Buenos Aires.

Falafel, one of the most emblematic dishes of Arab food

This dish, made from chickpeas or broad beans, is popular around the world for its versatility and flavor. Perfect for a light lunch, appetizer, or as part of a larger feast, falafel can be served in pita bread, with salads, or simply accompanied by tahini and fresh vegetables.

Historically, falafel is believed to have originated in Egypt, possibly consumed by Copts as a meat substitute during Lent. Since then, it has transcended borders and been enthusiastically adopted in cuisines around the world, adapted locally in various ways. Modern variations include falafel made from beets, zucchini, or even with additional legumes such as lentils. It becomes the protagonist at meetings and celebrations, and is also an ideal option for vegans and vegetarians due to its high fiber and protein content.

The homemade falafel recipe is an invitation to enjoy traditional Middle Eastern cuisine with a personal touch.

Highly Mutated Covid-19 Strain Detected in Multiple Countries: Ba2.86 Variant

by Ethan Caldwell August 25, 2023

written by Ethan Caldwell

A senior official at the World Health Organization said that one of the highly mutated strains of Covid-19, called “PA. 2.86”, had been detected in Switzerland, South Africa, Israel, Denmark, the United States and Britain.

Ba2.86, one of the Omicron variants, has more than 35 mutations in key parts of the virus’s structure compared to the most prevalent XBB1.5 variant for most of 2023, a number nearly equal to the Omicron variant that He caused a record number of injuries compared to his predecessor.

It was detected for the first time in Denmark on July 24, and subsequently in a number of countries in patients showing symptoms of infection, in traditional examinations at airports, and in samples of wastewater.

Twelve scientists from around the world said that although it is important to track down the Ba2.86 variant, it is unlikely that it will cause a wave of severe infections and deaths, given the immunization of vaccines for immune defenses around the world and the occurrence of previous infections.

For her part, Maria Van Kerkhove, the chief technical specialist for Covid-19 at the World Health Organization, said, “The numbers are still small,” during her first interviews about “PA2.86.” She added that the lack of links between the known cases indicates that the disease is already spreading on a much larger scale, precisely because of the poor monitoring of the disease outbreaks around the world.

Scientists are testing the efficacy of modern COVID-19 vaccines against the BaA2.86 variant. Kerkhove indicated that vaccines are better at preventing disease exacerbation and death than at preventing recurrence of infection.

“We are in a very different phase of the pandemic,” said Marion Combans, a Dutch virologist who advises the World Health Organization.
