Fósil del mico más antiguo de américa fue descubiertoJoe Quispe Ccuno
Científicos del Instituto Smithsonian de Investigaciones Tropicales descubrieron los restos fósiles de un mico datados en unos 20 millones de años, lo que lo convierte en el mico más antiguo encontrado en las Américas. Los investigadores estudiaron durante cinco años las zonas de excavación para la ampliación del Canal de Panamá, donde hallaron fósiles de varios animales de hace 20 millones de años, incluyendo el mico más primitivo.

The global financial crisis of 2008 was caused by a number of interrelated factors:
- Housing prices in the US increased dramatically from 2000-2005 before leveling off and declining, leaving many homeowners underwater on their mortgages.
- Low interest rates set by the Federal Reserve from 2002-2006 contributed to the housing bubble and eventual collapse of major banks.
- Banks were found to have manipulated the Libor interbank lending rate, falsely inflating their creditworthiness and profiting from trades, leading to billions in fines for banks like Barclays, RBS, HSBC, and Bank of America.
The 2017 Regulatory and Examination Priorities Letter, published by FINRA on January 4th, is a fitting reminder of the resolve of Regulators to better execute their mission of investor protection and market integrity. Although the Libor and FX scandals might seem like distant memories, Regulators have continued on the war path. We would like to share some thoughts based on work we have been involved in last year in a regulatory competition investigation.

Este documento resume un estudio sobre la movilidad de talentos entre España, Chile, Colombia, Perú y México. Analiza las principales barreras para la libre circulación de profesionales altamente calificados entre estos países, así como las políticas adoptadas para favorecer la movilidad. Concluye que los países están desarrollando programas para mejorar la educación superior, atraer inversión privada en I+D y captar talento extranjero, debido a carencias de personal en algunos sectores.

Crisis ensues when liberty is at stake and the future is at risk. In the weeks since Freddie Gray’s death, Baltimore has faced the cry of its citizens scarred by unrest. It’s here, in the midst of disarray that the opportunity for change arises. For in every crisis, the fuel of good can ignite action. As Prince graced the Baltimore arena on May 10, 2015, he, among the thousands joined in solidarity, proved the power of one can amplify the beat of all. That’s what we call the moment of truth.
The document discusses six ways for companies to survive investigations by the U.S. Congress. It begins by describing how JPMorgan Chase executives recently testified before Congress about $6.2 billion in trading losses. The article then provides tips for companies undergoing congressional investigations: 1) Check outrage at the door and assume a fair hearing; 2) Treat it like a court proceeding; 3) Know the facts inside and out; 4) Engage with committee members strategically; 5) Lay the groundwork with congressional staffers; and 6) Respectfully disagree if an interrogator is off base. The goal is to appear fully cooperative while protecting the company's interests.
This document provides a summary of three articles:
1) It discusses how general counsels are increasingly taking on risk prediction and management roles within companies to help avoid costly litigation and reputational damage. They are leveraging lessons from past events and collaborating with law firms to assess risks.
2) It describes a lawsuit filed against GNC over the death of an Army private who took the workout supplement Jack3d. The suit claims the supplement's stimulant ingredient was responsible. If found liable, it could expand retailer responsibility for product safety beyond manufacturers.
3) It provides a list of blogs and industry publications worth following for thought leadership, PR news and career advice, including blogs focused on reputation management, leadership

The article discusses the NRA's response to President Obama's new gun control plan. While the plan included some concessions to gun owners, focusing on improving background checks and mental health screening, the NRA strongly opposed it. The NRA claimed the plan would only affect law-abiding gun owners and not improve safety. It also cynically questioned why the President's daughters receive armed protection at school but others do not. The article argues the NRA cannot avoid the debate on how to reduce gun violence and must work with others seeking reasonable solutions.

Yet, as I delved into these rich interviews and commentary, two other fundamental concepts kept coming to mind as integral to any prosperous, free, capitalist democracy: profit and courage.

COVER Image: The Libor scandal is a series of fraudulent actions connected to the Libor (London Interbank Offered Rate) and
also the resulting investigation and reaction. The Libor is an average interest rate calculated through submissions of interest

may well be inured to those fines, however gar-

The intent is to create a stronger deterrence
mechanism (and feed a few political appetites
in the process). But to balance the strategy, and
protect those ostensibly too big to fail, the gov-

thus far only foreign subsidiaries. In the past,
