Spraying 18 hectares of wetland area after rain

ISLA MUJERES, 24 de septiembre.- After several days of heavy rain, the Vectors staff will begin tomorrow to fumigate about 18 hectares to combat the "Aedes Aegipty" mosquito which transmits dengue, in coordination with the entomology agency, who are responsible for detecting, analyzing, and determining the areas of water accumulation, and the number of adults and larvae that are present. They will begin working at 7:30pm and finish at 9:30pm, then later they will make a sweep of the entire community from 3am to 6pm. The program "Healthy Home" (Casa Saludable) has personnel advising residents to keep their yards clean and their water tanks closed, and to avoid having any containers where water collects and larvae could breed. The Vectors & Entomology staff have been working since Monday in the area of Mundaca and Sac Bajo, and the area behind the new hospital construction, since these are known "hot spots".

Luego de reparación de fusible dañado por el salitre
Manuel VALDEZ
ISLA MUJERES, 24 de septiembre.- Due to salt, a fuse in high voltage equipment made a false contact and temporarily disabled the Water Pump System for tap water that supplies downtown and Salina Chica. The pump is located at the start of the Aeropuerto neighborhood. Aguakan was notified by customers, but had already detected the defect due to monitoring equipment. A report of the power failure was made to the CFE (Federal Electricity Commission), whose workers arrived to diagnose the problem and change the fuse. The problem was repaired by 12:45, and company representatives said the water outage had lasted an hour and a half, while some families said they were without water for nearly three hours. (Most people have water storage tanks on their roofs. We were unaware of this brief outage & unaffected by most outages, except we skip doing laundry on days they are expected.)

He said after he committed the crime on Sept. 17th, he fled to Cancun and stayed at the house of a friend, leaving the body behind in the house where it was later found due to foul odors.

Extending class hours
-
Educación
Amplían horario de clases
0 24 de septiembre de 2013
Por Carlos Gasca/Quequi .- The primary school "Andres Quintana Roo" and the kindergarten "Gavriela Mistral" are extend their schedules to make up for the missed hours, and they will depart at 12:30 rather than 11:45. They are hoping to make up 120 hours that were missed. The elementary school Julio Saury Espinoza decided to add Saturday classes, which began last weekend. In an agreement with the Ministry of Education of QRoo, the teachers agreed to recover the time using study guides and extra home work, but some primary school teachers commented that to only give a study guide would evade the commitment they have with the parents, so they decided it would be better to make up the lost hours. -

Mayan Octopus Farming By Fishermen's Wives
Yesterday Scientific American magazine published an article about a women's cooperative in the Yucatan who are one of the first people in the world to successfully farm octopus. HERE is the SA article and HERE is an article in translated English with information about the project & octopus fishing in Mexico
Excerpts from SA article: Fish farms now produce million tons (sic) of fish each year around the globe. But octopuses have largely escaped this kind of confined aquaculturing, despite a growing global demand and overfishing....
Groups of scientists and entrepreneurs across the world—from Japan to Australia to Italy to Mexico—have been trying to find a way to rear these finicky creatures from egg to export. And most of them have struggled. But now, one farm has reported success, a move that could help wild populations and researchers alike. On the Yucatan coast in Mexico, a small cooperative is finally rearing Octopus maya from eggs after a decade of research and unsuccessful attempts,....
..... the researchers allow wild-caught males and females to mate. Once the females lay fertile eggs, these are removed and placed in an “incubator” that mimics the local sea environment where females often brood their clutches. Once the eggs hatch, the young—which in this species skip the smallest larval stage—are moved to a feeding area. Once the octopuses reach a mature weight, they can then be sold at market. LINK
Excerpts from GBCbiotech article: Progress has been made in an experimental octopus production farm made up of researchers of UNAM and a cooperative of women producers from the community of Hunucmá in Yucatan (Moluscos del Mayab). This farm obtained a pre-accepted international patent registered in Mexico, the United States, Europe, Korea, Japan, Chile and Argentina for the production of baby octopus weighing 30 gr, which means this product could be exported to these countries to satisfy the gourmet market demand, with the availability throughout the year. LINK/ photos from GBC article
An article by IBS (InterPressService) on Dec 27, 2010 said the cooperative was producing 200 baby octopus weekly.
