Colombian Dollar: This will move it during the week

 The dollar in Colombia ended last week with new falls and leading the exchange rate to reach $4,000.

The US currency maintains its behavior tied to what is happening with the economic activity of the United States and various local scenarios that include some outcomes of political events.

In this way, the dollar in Colombia , after even having fallen below the $4,000 barrier , is now awaiting new messages from the FED about the future of inflation.

Although in its most recent meeting the FED stated that it did not rule out a new increase in interest rates at the end of the year, there are some data that may lead to a scenario of stability in the future.

On the one hand, for example, the United States labor market left an unemployment rate higher than what the market was predicting.

Will the dollar rise in Colombia?

The above led the market to understand that, at least from the consumption side, inflation could account for a context of stability.

ChatGPT suffers “major outage”, artificial intelligence system fails

 ChatGPT is down due to a “major outage.”

Anyone who tried to use the AI ​​system saw a warning that it was "at capacity right now." The error page also includes a rap written by ChatGPT about the status of ChatGPT, which begins with the phrase "Yeah, yo, what's up ChatGPT fam . "

But on its status page, creators OpenAI said it was suffering a "major outage" that was being urgently investigated. The latest update stated that engineers had "identified an issue" in the system and were working to fix it.


This is the first major disruption to the system in months.

Argentine Cardinal Eduardo Pironio will be declared blessed

 The Argentine Cardinal Eduardo Pironio (1920-1998), noted as the “inventor” of the World Youth Days (WYD) and considered “papable” in 1978, will be declared blessed. Pope Francis, who knew him well and promoted his cause, approved this Wednesday the miracle attributed to his intercession with the promulgation of the corresponding decree of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints.

It is about the miraculous healing of Juan Manuel Franco, a one and a half year old boy from Mar del Plata - the city where Pironio was bishop -, poisoned by inhaling the glitter used by his mother for restoration work. The child had involuntarily aspirated and ingested it, which had caused acute respiratory distress syndrome (SDS) and he was about to die. As Vatican News recalled, it was December 2, 2006 and that day the so-called “March of Hope” was celebrated, an initiative devised by Pironio.

For the occasion the parish priest had distributed a small card with the figure of the cardinal. The little boy's parents, from that moment on, began to ask for his intercession, reciting the prayer that appeared on the card. Two days later, the first improvements began to be noticed. Five days later, the baby was reactive, lucid, and breathing spontaneously. And on December 13 he was discharged from the hospital, in a case that later laid the foundations for the advancement of the cause of beatification of 
Pironio, a remembered figure of the Argentine Church and the Roman Curia.

Prince Harry's 10 most resonant scandals on his birthday

 


Henry Charles Albert David Windsor , better known as Prince Harry , was born on September 15, 1984 in London. He is the second son of the current King Charles , then Prince of Wales, and Diana , also remembered as Lady Di. Despite having distanced himself from the royal family in recent years, he remains one of the most popular royals both for his supportive spirit and also for certain controversies in which he was involved throughout his life. .

During his childhood, he attended Jane Mynors, Ludgrove School and Eton College, and at the age of 12 he suffered the loss of his mother, who in several interviews had expressed her concern for him due to his position in the English crown. Harry was third in line to the British throne from his birth and lived in the shadow of his brother William , who would be the future king after his father's reign. With the arrival of his three nephews, Princes George , Charlotte and Louis of Wales, and the death of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, Harry moved to fifth position in the line of succession.

Upon graduating in 2003, he decided to take a gap year before beginning his career in the British Army, and in 2005 he entered Sandhurst Military Academy. His military training allowed him to participate in combats such as in Afghanistan.
