Zumba instructors held 'super class' to benefit young couple LINK
Zumba instructors from Isla Mujeres gave a super class of Zumba for the benefit of the young Elda Núñez and César Ruíz, who have limited resources, and in recent days suffered the loss of their baby during labor, which they have alleged involved medical malpractice, and is currently under investigation.
Instructors, Margely Gómez, Karime Moreno and Adrián Velázquez organized this class in which a large number of practitioners of this fitness discipline participated, who danced and exercised in the Hormiguitas Obreras park, for over an hour on Friday night. A 20 peso donation was requested as well as grocery items, and the donations were delivered to Ms. Nunez that evening, who expressed her appreciation. The young couple have lost their jobs and have allegedly not received assistance from any agencies.
It is noted that the Zumba instructors previously assisted other causes including the earthquake victims and the Isla Mujeres Rehabilitation Facility CRIM.

Víctor Román Arriaga, a small businessman who is always concerned about improving the image of this vacation destination, announced that a neighborhood work committee has been set up to clean up the main tourism sites of interest in downtown Isla Mujeres. He and his colleagues who support this proposal also want cooperation from the businesses regarding regulations about no blocking walkways and public spaces, and they note there is a lack of enforcement from the municipal authorities.
Mr Roman Arriaga produced a number of photographs from Hidalgo Avenue demonstrating bad practices with booths, barriers, signs, occupation of sidewalks, and invasion into the street beyond the boundaries allowed by the regulations. He asked the reporter to walk and witness this disorder and uncleanliness on Hidalgo from the street "Madero" to the municipal cemetery, "Adolfo López Mateos" and to "Guerrero", noting that municipal officials "refuse to see it and to put it in order." The reporter observed invasion into the sidewalks and streets by merchandise displays, signs, garbage, lumber, stoves, temporary steps, and debris, as well as overgrown green spaces.
He wants to see that business owners cleaning, providing order and a good image for tourism, now that Isla Mujeres is Pueblo Magico. "We can not continue as we are, we have to act responsibly as entrepreneurs," he said after finishing the tour.

Precaución a la navegación[+] Ver masFull article at this link
In accordance with the CONAGUA National Weather Commission forecast, due to Cold Front #7 which arrived on Saturday, the Civil Protection agency recommended precautions for small boats and nautical activities in the Yucatan Channel on Sunday and Monday, and the Isla Mujeres Harbor Master issued restrictions for small boats.
The usual advice is given about taking protections during sudden drops in temperature, particularly in rural communities at night among elderly people and small children.
Free help for diabetics
Islanders with diabetes are invited to visit the CRIM (Municipal Rehabilitation Center) in colonia La Gloria on Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 9am for free services, provided by an organization that includes local and foreign volunteers. They will provide free blood glucose screening with glucometers, as well as providing the glucometers, and strips, with education about using them and nutritional information. Reading glasses will also be provided, for free. Diabetics who are frequent patients at the local medical institutions have already been invited, and anyone who has begun noticing symptoms is also welcome to attend.
The DIF, social service agency, is supporting this effort and providing use of the CRIM facilities, and a clinic is also being held in Rancho Viejo on Thursday the 16th at the Rehabilitation facility UBR.
Organizer of the event, Karen Rosenberg thanked their sponsor Medwish and the DIF, along with the many tourists and volunteers who love our community and have donated their money and time to make these clinics possible.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the number of people with diabetes has increased from 108 million in 1980 to 422 million in 2014. The global prevalence in adults (over 18) has increased from 4.7% to 8.5% in that period.
The prevalence of the disease has increased more rapidly in the middle and lower income countries. It is a significant cause of blindness, renal failure, myocardial infarction, stroke and lower limb amputation.
It is estimated that in 2015 diabetes was the direct cause of 1.6 million deaths. Another 2.2 million deaths were attributable to hyperglycemia in 2012. Approximately. According to WHO projections, the disease will be the seventh cause of mortality in 2030.
NOTE: WHO reported that diabetes was the leading cause of death in Mexico in 2016, responsible for 14.7% of Mexico's deaths, which was over 76,000 lives. Scientists predict that by 2050, half of Mexico's population will suffer from diabetes.
