Just 2 hours 15 minutes (173 km) from the city of Puebla and 4 hours from Mexico City (285 km), Xalapa Veracruz, the state capital, is located. This city of hot humid climate and heavy rains during the summer, finds its name in the Nahuatl Xallapan and means "Sand Spring".
The city is known for being a promoter of culture and this is largely due to the presence of the Universidad Veracruzana, so it is common to see the squares and streets flooded with student life that give a fresh air and fill the center with energy. .
The city is surrounded by rivers, springs and streams, a natural lake and some artificial ones, as well as a green area reserved for recreation, known as Cerro Macuiltépetl, where oak, eucalyptus, jacaranda and even avocado trees abound.
So feeling surrounded by nature and having beautiful landscapes will be a constant during your tour of Xalapa, without a doubt, it is an excellent reason to do so.
In all these spaces is the second largest collection in the world of art prehispanic Mesoamerica around 2,500 pieces, fundamentally from the cultures Olmec , totonac Y Huasteca , among other peoples of the Gulf of Mexico , as well as an extensive exhibition on the ethnography of the current indigenous peoples of the State of Veracruz .
The emblematic Xalapeño Stadium was built by Engineer Modesto Rolland, a revolutionary thinker of his time who erected the “Heriberto Jara Corona” Xalapeño Stadium in 1925, with a low budget from the State Government. Its construction was carried out in record time: 2 months and 16 days, and 94 years later its structure is still intact; time does not pass by this state banner that has witnessed innumerable sporting, political and social events of Veracruzana Athens.
It was built in a natural swamp where some sporting events and concentrations that the Xalapa society had in the 1920s were already held; its innovative architecture surprised Latin America, but above all the way it was built with a cantilevered roof of more than 3 thousand square meters.
The Metropolitan Cathedral of Xalapa, dedicated to the Immaculate Conception, is the seat of the Archdiocese of Xalapa, and one of the oldest buildings in the city, it is located on the corner of Enríquez and Revolución streets in the historic center of Xalapa . It has undergone numerous modifications, resulting in the current appearance of the building.
The parish church of the city, also known as the Metropolitan Cathedral of Xalapa, which was consecrated to the Immaculate Conception, religious patron of Xalapa, began to be built in 1641, in wood, but it collapsed.
The current cathedral was built around the year 1641, resulting in a temple of simple proportions; Modifications were made to the building until the 18th century, which gave it its first baroque appearance. You can still see some details in some parts of the building, such as the bell tower (the only one that this temple has had) or the dome. one of the chapels has Solomonic style columns.
Walk of the Lakes
This set of three lakes is surrounded by gardens and walking paths in a wooded area. It is located in the Dique neighborhood, just 10 minutes from downtown Xalapa. It was formerly a dam that belonged to a textile company.
The place is frequented by families, groups of friends and people who come as a couple or alone to exercise. But you will also see other travelers who take the opportunity to explore it and spend an afternoon at ease.
During the week you will see a calmer atmosphere, since most of the visitors are runners or young people who take the opportunity to walk while they enjoy an ice cream, buy a snack or sit on their benches to talk about their day to day.
Weekends are when families decide to visit, so you'll see bikes, workshops and shows designed for children.
But if you come with teenagers, don't worry, there are also other options like ziplining and boat rentals, so there's no way someone won't have fun.
Former Hacienda of Santa Anna
Founded by Juan Lencero, a soldier of Hernán Cortés, to serve as an inn on the way from Veracruz to Mexico City, it is a magnificent hacienda now a museum, a true romantic evocation that summarizes almost five centuries of history of Xalapa and Mexico. In 1842 it was acquired by General Antonio López de Santa Ana, and in 1875 it was one of the most important sugar estates in the region. The construction stands on a natural terrace from which an extensive landscape is dominated. The main house houses the museum that wonderfully preserves furniture, ceramics, musical instruments, weapons and carriages. It has a colonial chapel, an artificial lake and huge gardens in which its monumental fig tree stands out.
Francisco Javier Clavijero Botanical Garden
This garden and sanctuary is located just 15 minutes from the city of Xalapa and on tropical mountain lands where the smell of coffee is felt.
In it you will find an extensive collection of plants and vegetation, made up of regional specimens and others brought from other parts of the world. You will also see the National of Cycads, which refers to the oldest plants in Mexico and another ethnobotanical collection, which has more uses than you could imagine.
On the other hand, the Fog Forest Sanctuary is an area where you will find plants from the northern to the southern hemisphere, which live in an extraordinary coexistence that you will hardly see anywhere else. It should be added that this ecosystem currently represents a small part of the national territory as a result of overexploitation, so we assure you, you will not regret knowing.

Cancun is home to a huge number of all-inclusive resorts promising you white sandy beaches, all-you-can-eat food, unlimited drinks, and a “you don’t need to leave our resort” experience.
If you do plan to venture out of the resort, there are a ton of things to do in Cancun beyond the sedentary beach life.
From archaeological sites to hidden pools, Cancun has a lot more to offer. Let’s look at the best things to do in Cancun right now.
Explore the Cenotes
Cenotes (“sinkholes”) are natural underground pools in a dark cave. These cenotes are very common in the state of Yucatan near Cancun.
The water is filtered naturally and you will notice the stunningly clear water with tiny fishes swimming everywhere.
You can’t leave Cancun without visiting a cenote. There are over 6000 cenotes near Cancun: if you’re short on time, try to add a cenote or two during your day trips. Most cenote tours on Viator will include hotel pick-up and drop-offs.
Explore the Underwater Museum
What’s better than visiting a museum? How about visiting a museum with over 500 underwater sculptures! MUSA, Museo Subacuático de Arte, is a museum devoted to conserve and protect the coral reefs. It also happens to be a popular tourist destination since its inception in 2010.
To see the underwater museum, beginners should opt for snorkeling or book a glass-bottom boat tour. If you’re an experienced scuba diver, you can see the sculptures up close and personal.
Museo Subacuático de Arte. Cerrada Las Golondrinas 24, Alfredo Bonfil, 77560 Cancún, Q.R., Mexico – Tickets
Playa Delfines and El Rey
Playa Delfines (Dolphin Beach) is a free public beach in the Hotel Zone that is worth the visit because it is left undeveloped and kept most of its natural look. There are no hotels, restaurants, or buildings on this beach – only a few palapas and chairs.
If you’re not staying at a beach resort, this is the beach you want to visit for a peaceful and relaxing day in the sun. You’ll also find the colorful “Cancun” sign at the beach – perfect backdrop for your vacation photo.
After the beach, head over to the nearby archaeological zone called El Rey. It is made up of 47 structures built by the Mayans somewhere between 250-600 AD.
Playa Delfines. Kukulkan, Zona Hotelera, 77500 Cancún, Q.R., Mexico
El Rey Archaeological Zone. Hotel Zone, 77500 Cancún, Quintana Roo, Mexico
Visit Xcaret’s Theme Park
Built in the same area as the Xcaret archaeological site, the Xcaret Park is a theme park surrounded by jungle and natural pools. This is not your average theme park with roller coasters!
Since it is located a few minutes away from Playa del Carmen, we highly recommend you visit Xcaret at the same time.
If you purchase your ticket online here, you will be given free transportation to Xcaret from Cancun, Playa del Carmen or Riviera Maya.
Xcaret Park. Carretera Chetúmal-Puerto Juárez Kilómetro 282, Solidaridad, 77710 Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico – Tickets
Zipline through the Jungle
The same people that built the Xcaret Park also offers Xplor zip-lines: the tallest zip-lines in Cancun at 45 meters (49 yards) high.
With 7 different zip-lines, this is not for the faint of heart. Xplor also has amphibious vehicles (works on land and water), rafts, and cenotes.
This is the perfect time to make use of your action camera. If you don’t already have an action camera like the reliable GoPro HERO, buy the YI 4K Action Camera for a cheaper – yet powerful – alternative on Amazon.
Xplor Park. Carretera Cancún -Tulum Km 282 Puerto Juarez, 77710 Playa del Carmen, Q.R., Mexico – Tickets
Explore Cancun’s Hotel Zone
The Zona Hotelera (Hotel Zone) is known for its nightlife and parties. Don’t miss out on Coco Bongo! It’s a mix of a nightclub and a show at the same time. Drinks are unlimited if you purchase your tickets online here.
For shopping, head over to La Isla – it’s an indoor-outdoor shopping village with shops, restaurants, aquarium, theater, and a Ferris wheel.
For luxury brands, the Fashion Harbour and Luxury Avenue Mall have many upscale brands along with Mexican luxury brands. Don’t forget to take advantage of the tax refund when shopping in Cancun.
Getting around Cancun’s Hotel Zone (Zona Hotelera) is extremely easy with the public bus and costs around $1 USD per trip.
Thousands of years ago, the Mayan people built the jaw-dropping El Castillo (Temple of Kukulcan) – a large pyramid located in the ancient city of Chichen Itza.
Located about 2 hours from Cancun, it’s a great day trip to take a break from the beach life. There was a time where you were allowed to climb the pyramid but that’s no longer the case.
Chichen Itza is widely considered as one of the 7 Wonders of the World and is one of the most visited archaeological sites in Mexico. Unfortunately, that means it gets very crowded with tourists.
If you plan to book a tour, try booking a tour that arrives early to avoid the busiest times of the day.
Chichen Itza. Yucatan, Mexico – Tickets and tours
Cancun is home to some of the best snorkeling spots in the World whereas you can see everything from turtles to whale sharks to stingrays. Here are the best spots for snorkeling within 30 minutes from Cancun.
- MUSA: The Underwater Museum should be at the top of your list
- Punta Nizuc: Conveniently located at the south tip of Cancun’s Hotel Zone
- Puerto Morelos: About 30 minutes south from Cancun
- Isla Mujeres: A snorkeling paradise that is only a short boat ride away
Visit Isla Mujeres
Isla Mujeres is an island located only 13 kilometers (8 miles) off the coast from Cancun. The Playa Norte (North Beach) is a great spot to either relax or to snorkel. There’s also a good number of all-inclusive resorts on Isla Mujeres if you haven’t booked a hotel yet.
Head over to the Tortugranja (Turtle Farm) to see different species of turtles and learn how this sanctuary is doing their best to protect endangered marine turtles.
Day Trip to Tulum
Tulum is a unique resort town built on the ruins of an ancient Mayan city overlooking the Carribean coast.
Once a quiet town, Tulum is now one of the most visited archaeological in Mexico after Chichen Itza and Teotihuacan near Mexico City.
Located only about 2 hours away from Cancun, you can visit both the Tulum Ruins and the nearby stunning beaches together during the same day.
If you have extra time, consider spending a few nights at one of the various boutique hotels in Tulum.
What about Downtown Cancun?
Located only a few minutes away from Cancun’s Hotel Zone, El Centro (Downtown Cancun) provides an authentic taste of Mexican culture as opposed to the Hotel Zone.
El Centro is where many of the locals live so you will be able to find small shops, tons of street food, and local bars.
- Head over to the Mercado 28 for the largest market in Cancun – this is a good place to buy souvenirs and taste some street food.
- Parque Las Palapas is the main park where you can also find food carts, local handicrafts, and other goodies.
- The wide boulevard Avenida Tulum is the heart of Downtown Cancun.
But is it safe? If you do a search online, you’ll find polarizing answers to the level of safety in Downtown Cancun.
Some reviewers will rave about Downtown Cancun and prefer it over the Hotel Zone. Others swear that it is dirty, dangerous, and totally a waste of time.
Like most polarizing questions, the answer lies somewhere in the middle. If you’re not the adventurous type – maybe it’s best to stay in the Hotel Zone.
If you’re a travel veteran and know how to stay a low-profile, El Centro is a hidden gem not overrun by tourists and is an immersive way to experience the local life.
Other things to do
- Visit the island of Cozumel
- Celebrating something special? Try a fine-dining experience at Tempo by Michelin star Spanish chef Martin Berasategui
- Eat and drink all day at an all-inclusive resort – why not?
Most tourists will come to Cancun for its all-inclusive resorts and there’s nothing wrong with that!
However, we do suggest adding at least one excursion – chances are it will be the most memorable part of your trip to Cancun!
Did we miss anything? What do you think are the best things to do in Cancun?

I'm an avid climber, hiker, traveller and lover of all things outdoors! I am a certified rock climbing instructor under the climbing federation of Quebec (FQME). I am based in Montreal and have been guiding rock climbing trips for the past 5 years.
I am passionate about rock climbing outdoors and fell in love with rock climbing during my travels. I spent the last 10 years travelling the world, combining my love for climbing, adventure, travel, and the outdoors. For the past 6 years I have accumulated experience climbing on various types of rock, learning different skills and climbing techniques that I now share with my students and clients.
In 2016, I created Climbing Escapes after noticing the lack of accessibility of rock climbing outdoors for beginners in Quebec. I want to empower people, no matter their background and experience, to try rock climbing in a safe and fun environment.
Climbing Escapes is for anyone who wants to get out of their comfort zone, learn rock climbing skills and techniques, in a safe environment, no matter their experience, their strength or their fear of heights.

“Truly a wonderful experience with Climbing Escapes! No experience at rock climbing whatsoever, Emma is truly a professional & a great instructor to have. Very knowledgeable, encouraging, and patient with everyone. She made sure that we were all secure in our gear and climb.”
“An absolute amazing experience with Climbing Escapes!! Emma is an excellent instructor - knowledgeable, patient, encouraging, positive and passionate. I didn’t have experience with rock climbing and with Emma’s guidance and expertise, she totally made me comfortable, at ease and confident to climb.”

One of the priorities for the Charles Butt Foundation is supporting the community our founder calls home. Throughout the Greater San Antonio area, the Foundation provides seed funding and support for initiatives demonstrating the greatest potential to improve the lives of local children and families, schools, and the overall community.
Recognizing the importance of early development of children, the Foundation supported the establishment of Early Matters, a community-driven organization created to “catalyze the power of people, partnerships, and investments to make San Antonio the best place in the country for children and families.”
Collaboration is a core value of the Charles Butt Foundation and represents an essential building block in marshalling all stakeholders to ensure our youngest San Antonians have a strong start. As a part of ensuring a strong start for children, the Foundation is supporting the establishment of the first Educare Center in Texas in the southern sector of San Antonio. Educare provides a model of research-based, high-quality childcare from birth to age 5.
Expanding into PK-12 education in San Antonio, the Foundation is a proud lead supporter of CAST Schools, a growing network of innovative schools designed in partnership with local public school districts, industry partners, and community leaders to provide students with authentic experiences in high potential career pathways.
To foster real-world learning across the region, the Foundation supports SA Works, which provides job shadowing and internship experiences for high school and college students throughout San Antonio.
Since post-secondary education and training is essential for employment in today’s economy, the Foundation supports both Alamo Promise, which provides two-year, tuition-free certification or an associate’s degree at any of the Alamo Colleges, and the National Post-Secondary Strategy Institute national network, focused on increasing college and career outcomes for low-income and minority students throughout the region.
Building on the value of research and data-informed problem-solving in education, two of the organizations and initiatives that the Charles Butt Foundation supports augment San Antonio’s capacity to learn together and to assemble essential data for more informed decision-making. The UP Partnership is a local nonprofit committed to using data and aligning resources to create equitable systems and ensure all young people in Bexar County are ready for the future. The San Antonio Education Forums, presented by the SA Report, annually bring together educators with civic, business, and non-profit leaders to address Bexar County’s most pressing PK-12 public education challenges and opportunities. Each of these organizations foster deep collaboration across sectors in San Antonio to improve the educational outcomes of the region’s children.
With the onset of the pandemic, technology and access to the internet became essential for students and for families. Over the years, the San Antonio region has struggled with digital access, so a team of community leaders, with initial support from the Charles Butt Foundation, created a public-private-community collaboration called SA Digital Connects. The collaborative developed the San Antonio and Bexar County Digital Equity Plan, which is advocating with city and county officials to designate local, state, and federal funding for initiatives to close the digital divide, and will track and report progress in un/under-served areas disproportionally impacting some of San Antonio’s most vulnerable families and individuals, including PK-12 students.

Heli-Skiing has become more popular over the last few decades with more and more skiers opting for this the ultimate skiing experience. We offer you the chance to experience this from all the resorts in the Three Valleys; Courchevel, Meribel, La Tania, Val Thorens and Les Menuires. You will get the opportunity to soar across the mountains seeing them as you’ve never seen them. You will then be dropped in your very own remote section of the Alps and ski what will feel like endless powder. After a full day of drops with your Heli Guide you will be ferried back to your chalet to relax and relive the days events. Operating from the Three Valleys allows us to tailor your Heli Skiing experience to best suit your needs
Heli-Skiing has become more popular over the last few decades with more and more skiers opting for this the ultimate skiing experience. With our Heli-Ski partners we can now offer you the chance to experience this in the Three Valleys from Courchevel or Meribel. You will get the opportunity to soar across the alps before being dropped in your very own remote section of the Alps and ski what will feel like endless powder. After a full day of drops with your ski instructor and guide you will be ferried back to your chalet to relax and relive the days events.
Your day will start in the Three Valleys with a short transfer to the Helicopter base, there you will meet your UAIGM guide who will give you a safety briefing and any equipment you require. All the guides used are native English speakers, this is key to keeping these days as relaxed and safe as possible. Your guide will have assessed the snow conditions and from there the decision will be made as to where we do our first drop!
You will ski into Italy, the drops and pick-ups will all happen there. The powder will be untracked and the views amazing. We plan for runs up to 2000m in vertical descent although weather and snow conditions may shorten these.
If a full day of Heli-Skiing is not for you why not try out one of our return transfer Heli-Ski days. Here you will spend the day in the furthest reaches of the Three Valleys skiing around the Cimes De Carron and Les Orrelle areas. These areas are great and hold some of the best off-piste in the Three Valleys. Your ski instructor will take you to areas few get to experience with brilliant views over the Maurienne valley. Normally there is a mad rush to return to Meribel or Courchevel. On our return transfer trip you get to spend all day in this off-piste mecca skiing down to Val Thorens Heli-Port as the lifts close for a short 5-minute transfer back to your resort. If the Maurienne valley holds your attention, we can arrange pick up there too.
On all our heli-skiing products your ski instructor will be on hand to ensure that you get the best experience and the most from your day.
Combining helicopters and skiing is the ultimate ski experience giving you memories that will last a lifetime and bragging rights that will make even your most die-hard ski friends jealous.
Please contact us for prices and availability firstname.lastname@example.org


Do you use a bike GPS when out and about? If you have not used one yet, it is high time to reconsider installing a GPS bike mount for easy viewing. Tracking your speed and distance travelled as well as the route, speed, elevation and other data will help a great deal in your performance.
Data from GPS can be automatically summarized helping you track your progress and do necessary improvements as a cyclist. Some GPS may even have cadence sensors as well as monitors for heart rate and pedal power as you ride. But all these cannot be made possible without a GPS mount on your bike.
Without further ado, here are the top 3 most recommended GPS bike mounts in the market today. Here’s a detailed look on each of the GPS bike mounts mentioned in the chart.
1. Garmin 0101165407 Handlebar Mount for Montana/Monterra
The first one comes from powerhouse Garmin, the makers of quality GPS navigation, communication, and sonar products. If you are using a Montana or a Monterra, this easy snap-on GPS bike mount is a must-have. You can snap the device in place in either portrait or landscape orientation just right into the handlebar mount to start working on your biking cadence.
The Garmin 0101165407 Handlebar Mount can attach to any standard bicycle handlebar. Built with rubber cushion, it provides shockproof protection to the GPS wherever you wish to ride. The Mount works for both motorcycle and bicycle handle bars. No wonder reviews and feedback from actual users have mentioned about the handlebar mount as a wise buy. To get your own, check out special price from Amazon.
Yet, another handlebar mount from Garmin..
2. GARMIN 010-10454-00 Handlebar Bike Mount (for GPSMAP 60 Series)
This GPS bike mount does not come any less than the first one. Coming from the same maker of quality handlebar mount for GPS Maps, the GARMIN 010-10454-00 Handlebar Bike Mount also features easy snap-on system that’s so easy to install. It can be mounted on a 1-inch diameter bar either in front of at the sides of a motorcycle, bike or ATV.

This wonderful photo from the archives of the Ontario College of Art and Design University shows students gathering at Molson's Mill in Port Hope in the summer of 1924.
The mill, located on the banks of the Ganaraska River, was the site of
O.C.A.'s summer school from 1923 until 1941.
Here is the mill as it appears today. Molson's Mill is now owned and beautifully maintained by the Benson family of Port Hope. It is used by Christine Benson and Mike Woods of Journey Through the Arts for a children's summer arts daycamp. Lucky kids!
Historic Canadian artist and O.C.A. professor J.W. Beatty (1869-1941) was the founder and principal of the Ontario College of Art Summer School in Port Hope.
Walking trails along Lake Ontario in the Port Hope area look much the same today as nearly a century ago:
Port Hope and the City of Toronto have strong historic ties. Then as now, the village and the metropolis may feel worlds apart, but are separated only by a short and leisurely train ride (or these days, if you prefer to drive, a one hour eastbound commute on Highway 401)
J.W. Beatty's summer school students described their time in Port Hope as restorative, formative and inspirational. One of the goals of Critical Mass is to see ties with the urban arts community restored, for the mutual benefit of artists and art supporters in downtown Toronto and in Northumberland County alike.

The Homestead's Jefferson Pools
Recently, my husband treated me to a weekend at The Homestead 1766 resort in Hot Springs, Virginia. While there, we both discovered the mineral spring waters, minutes from the resort, that Thomas Jefferson used as therapy for his rheumatoid arthritis. While soaking in the legendary mineral spring waters, we could understand why Jefferson pronounced them to be "the very best". There, we experienced complete relaxation of mind and body as we restored our spirit in the natural mineral spring waters of the legendary Jefferson Pools.
The magnificent, naturally warm mineral springs are located just five miles down the road (Rt. 220/Sam Snead Highway) from The Homestead 1766 resort, now owned and operated by The Omni Hotels. The Pools were originally developed as a spa resort in the mid 1750's. On June 1, 1761, an octagonal wooden building was opened to the public. To my surprise, the experience intentionally remains very much as it was back then. When you first see it, the first thought that comes to mind is, "Is this old building actually the spa?" Looking beyond the 18th century appearance, and after "taking the waters" inside, its authenticity was actually very charming. I couldn't help but imagine sitting across from Thomas Jefferson himself.
Once opened, Warm Springs expanded rapidly as a spa resort. Hotels, dining rooms and kitchens, taverns, livery stables and blacksmith shops, as well as a church, laundry and related buildings were built to accommodate the growing number of guests. On August 13, 1818, at the age 75, Thomas Jefferson was one of those travelers, who arrived at The Homestead to "take the waters" for his rheumatism. 196 years later, to the day, my husband and I would be visiting the same pool that my favorite founding father visited. You cannot imagine how I felt once realizing the coincidence in dates! Jefferson stayed at The Homestead for over three weeks, "taking the waters" down the road several times each day. Each day, my husband and I enjoyed breakfast and dinner in The Homestead's Jefferson Grill, as well as visited the legendary Jefferson Pools. Our trip will be one of my fondest birthday memories!
The historic natural spring pools are named in honor of their most illustrious patron...they are The Homestead's Jefferson Pools! If you would like to experience The Homestead 1766 resort for yourself, call 1-800-838-1766 for reservations, or visit www.theHomestead.com.

Satellite based reseach: What is in it for the NRENs?
When Chris Atherton first asked me to join the session on Satellite Based research and Geo-science at the EaPEC19, my initial response was that I have nothing to do with Space. Earth Observation technologies were as distant and removed from my worldview as the satellites and the space themselves.
However, I was curious, and my mind was triggered to find out and understand if there is any value in it for me.
My research into the subject was earth shattering, continuing with the space jargon here. As it turns out, our lives, my life is very much space-enabled. I am now using the language of Danielle Wood, who is a professor of MIT and who has founded there a Space Enabled Research Group. Here is what I have learned:
- Space helps me communicate. The communication satellites that are orbiting the Earth enable us talk to each other.
- Space helps me locate myself. The positioning satellites that are orbiting the Earth enable me to find and geo-position myself in the world.
- Space makes me smarter. The findings from the research that takes place in space (the microgravity research) can be extrapolated and used here on Earth to advance medicine, science and many other disciplines.
- Space makes sure that I am not hungry. The data that is made available through Earth observation technology helps us track crops, vegetation, water supplier and much more.
- Space makes me safer. The space can warm me against the areas of danger or stress in the world that could guide me in my movements.
It was such a powerful and amazing discovery that the space, so alien and far help me be human and live my human live here on Earth. In a way, space reinforces my humanity, and that goes for every person on this planet.
Coming with this discovery into the session, I have expanded my knowledge on the subject even further. During the discussion, we have uncovered new, exciting opportunities for enabling researchers to access and compute geo-data. The solution is called the data cube and it allows dynamic and large scale data processing, and there is already one regional example in Armenia. Building on this, NRENs have a fantastic opportunity to connect researchers and decision maker through the connectivity and data services, and as a result to strengthen their role and value for the local and regional economy. This value proposition will be captured by a position paper that will be put together by GÉANT in coming month. Watch that space and get in touch with the Research Engagement group if you are interested (firstname.lastname@example.org).

Paul Hoffman (Harvard University)
Paul F. Hoffman is a research geologist formerly with the Geological Survey of Canada and Harvard University. His 55 years of ongoing field work are split between Paleoproterozoic basins and tectonics in northern Canada, and Neoproterozoic paleoceanography–paleoclimate in northern Namibia. In the 1970s and ‘80s, he successfully applied the new concepts of plate tectonics to the Precambrian. He established the paradigm that cratonic North America is a composite of six or more formerly independent Archean microcontinents, convulsively assembled as part of the supercontinent Nuna in geon 18 (1800-1899 Ma). In 1992, sensing that deepsea and glacial ice-core proxy data were revitalizing paleoceanography–paleoclimate, just as paleomagnetism and marine geophysics had revolutionized tectonics thirty years earlier, he abruptly switched his research focus to the Neoproterozoic. In the 1990s and 2000s, he and geochemical oceanographer Dan Schrag were the leading advocates of the snowball Earth hypothesis for low-latitude Cryogenian glaciations and cap carbonates. Critical predictions of the snowball hypothesis, greatly elevated atmospheric CO2 at deglaciation and synchroneity of glaciation and deglaciation globally at low latitudes, are increasingly supported by new data. Hoffman’s best known papers are, United plates of America: the birth of a craton (1987), Did the breakout of Laurentia turn Gondwanaland inside-out? (1991), and A Neoproterozoic snowball Earth (1998). A recipient of the Wegener Medal (European Union of Geosciences), Wollaston Medal (Geological Society of London), Bucher Medal (American Geophysical Union) and Penrose Medal (Geological Society of America), he lives in Victoria, British Columbia.
Richard Goldfarb (Colorado School of Mines, China University of Geosciences Beijing)
Richard Goldfarb received his BS degree in geology from Bucknell University, an MS degree in hydrology from the MacKay School of Mines, and a PhD degree in geology from the University of Colorado. He was a research geologist with the Minerals Program of the U.S. Geological Survey for 35 years. Rich worked on the program’s Alaskan resource assessment projects for three decades, leading the Survey’s Alaska geochemical exploration research group during the late 1980s and 1990s. Since the middle 1990s, he has been involved with many of the Survey’s international metallogeny studies and was most recently chief of the Mineral Deposit Models project. As of the start of 2016, he divides his time as an adjunct professor at the Colorado School of Mines, University of Western Australia, and the China University of Geosciences, as well as serving as a consultant to the exploration industry. He continues to run many workshops on gold exploration for industry geologists. Rich’s major expertise is the geology of gold deposits. He has conducted studies on the distribution of gold deposits throughout the world, compiling some of the most comprehensive global descriptions of their spatial-temporal setting and evaluating their controlling factors as guides to exploration. His research has been focused on global metallogeny, geology of ore deposits in the North American Cordillera with emphasis on orogenic gold, and distribution and geology of lode gold deposits in China and elsewhere in Asia. Rich has authored more than 200 papers on mineral resources, with many recognized as the authoritative research on orogenic gold and on aspects of regional metallogeny, as well as editing numerous books. Rich is Past-President of the Society of Economic Geologists and was past chief editor of Mineralium Deposita.
Sandy Steacy (University of Adelaide)
Sandy Steacy is an earthquake scientist who is particularly interested in stress interaction and time dependent seismic hazard. After graduating with a geology degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she went to the University of Southern California to complete a PhD with Professor Charlie Sammis. Sandy then moved to the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland where she became Professor of Earthquake Physics in 2007; she joined the University of Adelaide in January 2015.
Sandy’s current research is in the general area of operational earthquake forecasting, in essence the determination of time dependent changes to earthquake probabilities. Her work focuses on the computation of Coulomb stress changes which affect earthquake likelihood in time and space, and in combining this physics based approach with geological and statistical models. Sandy was a member of the expert elicitation panel on future seismic hazard in the Canterbury region whose work informed the revised building codes in Christchurch, New Zealand. She was also lead editor of a special issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research on ‘stress transfer, earthquake triggering, and time-dependent seismic hazard’, and is lead author of the review paper that introduces the volume.

It's a widely held belief that water from a drain turns in one direction in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere. And in the equator... I don't know, It doesn't turn in the equator, it just falls straight down I guess. Those who want to go a little further and are able to remember the name, normally attribute this effect to a mysterious Coriolis effect. Although probably they are not able to explain what it is, the fact that it relates to a scientific theory seems enough to give credibility without actually checking if this relationship is real, although anyone can try it at home: just pull the plug and look how the water falls.
The proof... or not
You can actually see exhibits on the line of the equator that try to prove so: they empty a sink above the line of equator and the water falls straight down the drain. After moving a few meters to one hemisphere, the water falls turning around the drain. Finally, they move a few meters across the equator to the other hemisphere, and water falls spinning in the other direction.
The first problem I encounter to believe this experiment is that I have to accept that the line painted on the floor marks the separation between the north and south hemispheres with an accuracy of about one meter, since this alleged difference between north and south hemispheres is observed by only moving a couple of meters across this line. The other problem I find is that this radical change about water always turning in one direction and just crossing the equator behaving totally different and turning in the other direction sounds almost like magic, doesn't it?
But hey, let's be complacent and forget these points. There is a more serious problem: the three tests are not performed with the same conditions. To verify that a given variable is the cause that produces an effect you have to keep constant the other factors that can also alter the result, and that is not being done in this experiment. Apart from the location of the sink, there is another important factor that is being changed: the state of repose or initial movement of the water. We see that in the first test, performed "above" of the equator, the water is at rest (more or less). In the second, as the water is poured, the bucket is moved to the left (clockwise) and in the third, they throw the water moving the bucket to the right (counterclockwise).
Also note that they throw some leaves to the water so you can see how the water falls down the drain in the predicted direction. But they throw them after opening the drain so you can't see that the water was already in motion before opening the drain. For the same reason, they remove all the leaves before making the next test, so you can't note they are cheating when they throw the water.
And that initial movement they apply is just the same the water haves as it falls down the drain. The water is just keeping the same movement initially applied to it, and as the circumference of the rotation gets smaller as it approaches the drain, it will increase its speed (conservation of angular momentum).
Well, you see that in this typical demonstration they are cheating, but that doesn't mean that without that initial movement we won't get the same result. Have you tested it? Have you asked to prove it to the person that told you? Does water always fall in the direction predicted by the hypothesis in all the drains at your home? Notice that I emphasized "all" and "always" as the urban legend says that the water drains in the northern hemisphere turn in one direction and in the south always in the opposite direction, as a kind of physical law "explained" by the unexplained Coriolis effect. So, by finding a single case which doesn't fulfill, we will void the hypothesis.
I have myself done the same test and, oh, surprise, without moving from my home in the Spanish northwest I made the water turn clockwise when it is assumed that in the northern hemisphere should always turn counterclockwise:
In case you still have doubts, I also managed to turn it counterclockwise:
That is, without changing hemisphere, I managed to turn it in both directions. Is not supposed that water should always rotate in the same direction unless we change hemisphere? How did I do it? Well as you can see in the video, using the same cheat as in the initial video: by applying an initial movement in the direction that I am interested in.
If we do not apply enough initial movement (in a "homespun" experiment like this one is inevitable to apply disturbances when you pull the plug), I see no movement in the drain, which supposedly only happens in the equator:
So, does water turn always in the same direction in each of the hemispheres when going down the drain? Not really. Sometimes it turns in one direction and sometimes in the other one, it depends on various factors such as the shape and position of the basin, the plug position, the initial state of the water, ... Well, what then? Is the Coriolis effect fake? No, Coriolis effect exists and is very important for example in air travel, storms and tides. To a lesser extent, it theoretically influences the water drain, but its influence is so weak that it is nullified by other factors and even if we cancel these other factors, the influence of the Coriolis effect is too weak to be perceptible:
The question, then, is whether the Coriolis effect could be detected in the water of my basin. The answer is yes, and in fact, it has been achieved. If you have a circular sink over a meter in diameter filled with water completely still (except, of course, by the rotation of the Earth) with a tiny hole in its precise geometric center obstructed by a plug reachable from the bottom so as not to introduce spurious movements in the liquid, and had the entire system in a non-seismic and totally free of vibration area, it could be tested. You have to let the water settle for at least a week (or, better, for one month) for the molecules to lose all motion and then gently remove the bottom plug. Water will begin to flow through the small hole, emptying the tank, and if the process continues for 14 or 20 hours, we will see that gradually the Earth's rotation begins to introduce small deviations in the flow of fluid to achieve a circular motion. The motion is clearly cyclonic type, and rotates clockwise in our southern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere. — Dos Santos, Marcelo. "La "verdad" mentirosa" [translated by me]. Axxón. Num. 139 (june 2004)
The Coriolis effect
It is not my intention to give a very precise and deep explanation of the topic. First of all, because then another one will have to do it, and secondly because this article is not written for graduates in physics but for the general public who has the widespread belief that water swirls in different directions in each hemisphere. For this reason, I will use some terms that can squeak the most orthodox people but that will make easier their understanding, such as the Earth "escaping" of the airplanes after "pushing them" or that the Earth rotates at different speeds depending on the latitude. In the latter, I obviously mean linear speed, but will omit this clarification from now on.
We could describe the Coriolis effect as the apparent deviation of a straight path that an observer perceives from a system in rotation whose axis of rotation is perpendicular to that said straight path.
As usual, everything is best understood with an example:
Okay, okay, I put that video just because it's fun, but does not explain very well the Coriolis effect.
In this one, we can see that there is an object making a straight path — the pen. However, an observer situated on the circumference that makes a rotational movement will see the pen describing a curved path: the line drawn on the circumference.
The most common example which I think makes people understand very quickly how Coriolis effect works is the Carousel.
This video explains it very well because they show the path seen by an observer outside of the rotation system and another observer inside. Therefore, as one can clearly see, the object describes a straight path while the rotating observer perceives it as a curve.
In these cases, the difference caused by the Coriolis effect is big compared to that produced on Earth since the angular speed of the system in the example is much higher than the one on Earth and the path to examine extends from one side to the other of the system.
This is not the case of drains on Earth, of course. If we had a drain covering almost from one side to the other of an Earth that took a few seconds to turn around itself we would be able to appreciate the Coriolis effect in drains.
To understand why we don't appreciate the Coriolis effect on our tiny drains on our slow Earth, let's go back to the subject of the airplane.
I told above that the Coriolis effect is noticeable in airplanes. And indeed it is very important: if we don't take care of it, we may never reach our destination.
We can see what happens in this animation:
The plane starts its flight in a straight path because it wants to reach a point that it's "in front" of it. But as it goes straight it's destination "escapes" due to the rotation of the Earth. So it has to alter its trajectory and at the end it makes a curved path. This is because the linear velocity of rotation is not the same at all points of the globe. The Earth takes one day to turn around itself at any point on the planet, but the circle it has to describe is much smaller on a pole that on the equator. That is, in the equator travels much farther in the same time, so we can say that as we reach the pole, the [linear] speed of the rotation decreases. The plane begins its path "pushed" by the linear velocity of the rotation of the Earth at the time it takes off, but as we have seen, as it reaches the pole, the linear velocity of rotation decreases, so Earth is "left behind" by the airplane. The Earth does not rotate as fast (note, again, I'm speaking about linear velocity) at the point the plane aims to reach as at the point from which it took off, so the target is not " where we expected."
Well, as told above, this happens because, as the diameter of the circle of rotation of the Earth decreases on the area of the Earth we are, the speed at which it rotates to make a full turn in a day will decrease too. I think that this will make us realize that the difference in the size of the rotation circle in the different points of the drain is not enough to notice the Coriolis effect.
But if my empirical demonstration and "homespun" explanation are not enough for you and you want to know more about this issue with its equations that show how Coriolis effect (not) really affects drains, there is huge information on the net about this topic. For example, in Spanish: The Túzaro, El Tamiz and the aforementioned Axxón magazine. Sorry, I haven't collected links in English.


Proposed Terrace Gardens
The Terrace Gardens District was proposed as part of the 1990 Tower District Specific Plan. Its boundaries extend from the corner of Van Ness and Clinton west to Palm; north to the rear property line of Brown; east to the second property beyond Wilson; south to Brown Avenue; east to the fourth property from Van Ness; south to Harvard Avenue; east to Van Ness, and south to Clinton (view map of district boundary).
This district includes not only the subdivision from which it takes its name, but also portions of the Normal Heights tract to the north, and the St. Francis Wood tract to the east. It illustrates the kind of suburban growth that typified the Tower District in the generations that followed the more dense, varied development of properties south of Belmont. Among the most noteworthy of this district's many well-crafted homes are a number that employ Mediterranean-style motifs, particularly the Peden Home at 315 Brown Avenue (on right), and the more modestbut collectively quite effectivearray of homes that line both sides of the 300-400 block of E. Terrace Avenue.

The southeastern portion of Eastern Samar (Guiuan, Mercedes, Salcedo) Dinagat Islands, the eastern portion of Surigao del Norte (Claver, Surigao City, Tagana-An, Placer, Gigaquit, Bacuag) including Siargao and Bucas Grande Islands, and the northern portion of Surigao del Sur (Carrascal, Cantilan, Madrid, Cortes, Carmen, Lanuza)
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND AREAS
• Tomorrow: Light to moderate with at times heavy rains are possible over Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur, and Dinagat Islands due to the trough and the outermost rain bands of “ODETTE”
• Thursday: Heavy to intense with at times torrential rains over Dinagat Islands, Surigao del Norte, Camiguin, and Misamis Oriental. Moderate to heavy with at times intense rains over Leyte, Southern Leyte, the southern portion of Eastern Samar, Bohol, Siquijor, and the rest of Caraga. Light to moderate with at times heavy rains over Bicol Region, Zamboanga del Norte, and the rest of Visayas and Northern Mindanao
• Friday: Heavy to intense with at times torrential rains over Central Visayas, Western Visayas, and the portion of Palawan including Cuyo and Cagayancillo Islands. Moderate to heavy with at times intense rains over the rest of Visayas, Occidental Mindoro, Oriental Mindoro, Romblon, the central portion of Palawan, Calamian Islands, and Dinagat Islands. Light to moderate with at times heavy rains over Bicol Region, Northern Mindanao, Zamboanga del Norte, Quezon, and the rest of MIMAROPA and Caraga.
• Under these conditions, scattered to widespread flooding (including flash floods) and rain-induced landslides are expected especially in areas that are highly or very highly susceptible to these hazard as identified in hazard maps, and in localities with significant antecedent rainfall.
• Strong winds (strong breeze to near gale) with higher gusts will be experienced within any of the areas where TCWS #1 is currently in effect during the passage of the severe tropical storm. This may generally bring up to very light damage to structures and vegetation.
• Areas under TCWS will be expanded in succeeding bulletins, while the hoisted wind signals in some localities of the country will be upgraded as “ODETTE” moves closer. The highest level of wind signal that may be hoisted during the passage of “ODETTE” is TCWS #3 due to possible destructive typhoon-force winds in localities near or along the path of this tropical cyclone.
HAZARDS AFFECTING COASTAL WATERS
• Under the influence of Severe Tropical Storm “ODETTE” and the prevailing Northeast Monsoon, a Gale Warning remains effect for the seaboards of Northern Luzon, the eastern seaboard of Central Luzon, the eastern and western seaboards of Southern Luzon and Visayas, and the eastern seaboard of Mindanao. For more information, refer to Gale Warning #46 (Intermediate) issued at 11:00 PM today.
• Within the same period, moderate to rough seas (1.2 to 3.1 m) will prevail over the remaining seaboards of Central Luzon, Southern Luzon, and Visayas, and the western and northern seaboards of Mindanao. These conditions are risky for those using small seacrafts. Mariners are advised to take precautionary measures when venturing out to sea and, if possible, avoid navigating in these conditions.
TRACK AND INTENSITY OUTLOOK
• “ODETTE” is forecast to move west northwestward tonight through tomorrow, then westward beginning Thursday. On the forecast track, the center of this tropical cyclone is forecast to make landfall in the vicinity of Caraga or Eastern Visayas on Thursday afternoon or evening. Afterwards, the center “ODETTE” will continue moving generally westward and cross several provinces in Central and Western Visayas regions before emerging over the Sulu Sea on Friday morning or afternoon. After passing near or over the Cuyo archipelago, this tropical cyclone is forecast to cross the northern portion of Palawan on Friday evening.
• Further intensification is expected tomorrow through Thursday as the severe tropical storm crosses the Philippine Sea east of Mindanao. “ODETTE” is forecast to intensify into a typhoon within 12 hours and may reach a peak intensity of 155 km/h prior to making landfall on Thursday afternoon or evening. This tropical cyclone may see some slight weakening as it crosses the Visayas and Palawan, but it is forecast to remain within the typhoon category. Re-intensification is likely once “ODETTE” emerges over the West Philippine Sea.
Considering these developments, the public and disaster risk reduction and management offices concerned are advised to take all necessary measures to protect life and property. Persons living in areas identified to be highly or very highly susceptible to these hazards are advised to follow evacuation and other instructions from local officials. For heavy rainfall warnings, thunderstorm/rainfall advisories, and other severe weather information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your local PAGASA Regional Services Division.
The next tropical cyclone bulletin will be issued at 5:00 AM tomorrow.
