Sipadan is located in the Celebes Sea off the coast of Sabah (Malaysia's easternmost state on the island of Borneo—Google-map it!). Best known for world-class diving, and described as an "Untouched Piece of Art" by Jacques Cousteau himself, the snorkeling here is equally stunning with easy viewing of otherworldy coral formations, sea turtles, and Bumphead Parrotfish.
This is not a wow beach but not a bad beach. It's a beach and a big one. Found my way here in a Sunday after a morning run. It was a nice enough beach to take the time to enjoy. A lot of surfers enjoying the sets rolling in which made it relaxing. It is a nice long stretch and people let their dogs off leash to enjoy it as well. So if you don't like dogs I suggest not going here. It's best to walk on the beach and not on the sidewalk area as it can have a smell. The beach itself is clean and enjoyable but nothing that takes your breathe away. I do appreciate how long and wide this beach is would be a great place for a large group.
Surrounded by the second-largest coral reef in the world, it's no surprise that this tropical destination is primarily visited by diving and snorkel enthusiasts. There aren't many islands left in the Caribbean that you can visit without being shoulder-to-shoulder with tourists. Roatán has managed to hold onto its authentic charm while still being able to provide familiar western comforts. Cruise ships didn't start coming here until 2005 and there aren't a whole lot of flights to the area, which means the secret isn't out quite yet, though this may change quickly as more people continue to flock to this 35-mile stretch of gorgeous Caribbean coastline. If you've never heard of Roatán, consider yourself lucky and put it on your list of tropical places to visit sooner than later.
I am moving to Bali next month. I am currently on another Indo Island, less popular and not really paradise but has some pretty destinations (Batam Island). I must say I am so interested in visiting the other places well but if you are visiting Bali it is definitely a romantic experience. It's the perfect place for a honeymoon and the best part is… it's cheap! The most expensive thing will probably be the airfare unless you reside in South East Asia.
Soon after, Louis Réard created a competing two-piece swimsuit design, which he called the bikini.[56] He noticed that women at the beach rolled up the edges of their swimsuit bottoms and tops to improve their tan.[4] He introduced his design at a swimsuit review held at the popular public pool, Piscine Molitor, four days after the first test of a nuclear weapon at the Bikini Atoll. The newspapers were full of news about it and Reard hoped for the same with his design.[57][5] Réard's bikini undercut Heim's atome in its brevity. His design consisted of a two triangles of fabric forming a bra, and two triangular pieces of fabric covering the mons pubis and the buttocks connected by string. When he was unable to find a fashion model willing to showcase his revealing design,[58] Réard hired Micheline Bernardini, a 19-year old nude dancer from the Casino de Paris.[59] He announced that his swimsuit, with a total area of 30 square inches (200 cm2) of cloth, was "smaller than the world's smallest bathing suit".[60][61] Réard said that "like the [atom] bomb, the bikini is small and devastating".[62] Fashion writer Diana Vreeland described the bikini as the "atom bomb of fashion".[62] Bernardini received 50,000 fan letters, many of them from men.[10][38]
Ocean beach has San Diego's biggest pier! I sware it's super long to walk back and forth lol. Ocean beach is hippie and hipster central! Everyone is cool in OB! And the people usually are Narley. You have your supports (heyyy) you have your homeless (which are usually trying to at least make an effort to sell something for a quick buck. )You have the college students (the grungy loud looking ones who are wearing sandals when it's raining outside.) and just the white boys (the ones usually surfing) lol OB has it all! Most chill beach to come smoke a blunt to and hide a beer inside a red solo cup if you ask me
Just wanted to add one recommendation for digital nomads which is Quito, Ecuador. I just spent the last 3 months in Ecuador and based myself out of Quito which I absolutely fell in love with. Fast internet throughout the city. Affordable condos or houses to rent monthly ($500-800 range). My slowest Internet at one condo was 4mbs and fastest was 90mbs at one new condo I stayed at. But in general, most places had 4-6mb Internet.
While this is not a tropical island, it is one of the most beautiful beaches in central America, so it made the list anyway. Located on the northeast corner of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, the Mayan Riviera offers stunning Caribbean views, powder-fine sand, warm azur water to swim in and some of the best all-inclusive beach resorts in the world. You'll find incredible snorkeling and diving just off the coastline, and a plethora of adventure sports and activities, not to mention a very active nightlife. There are dozens of Mayan archaeological sites, like Tulum and Chichen Itza, as well as hidden underground cenotes to explore.
The bikini remains preferred by most players[185] and corporate sponsors.[177] US women's team has cited several advantages of bikini uniforms, such as comfort while playing on sand during hot weather.[186] Competitors Natalie Cook[187] and Holly McPeak[185] support the bikini as a practical uniform for a sport played on sand during the heat of summer. Olympic gold medal winner Kerry Walsh said, "I love our uniforms." According to fellow gold medalist Misty May-Treanor and Walsh it does not restrict movement.[177]
I think it depends on where you live when it comes to expensive holidays, and what sort of accomodation you want. I'm from London and went to the Maldives in oct 2010 2 wks all Inc, £1150. Which was a bargin as previous years I been to Spain spending over £100 day on food and drink etc. I went to the addu atoll on the island of gan which is the most southern chain of islands. The hotel was everything I could have dreamed of, it wasn't posh or extravergant but who cares when ya in the Maldives. Another great reason to go to the addu atoll is that when the British were there they built bridges and causeways connecting the south and west islands which means u can get on a bike and go and meet the locals, they were so friendly and I recomend the addu atoll to anyone !!!!!
Whether you're hoping to hit the sand and surf in style or relax comfortably by the pool on a sunny day, PacSun's got you covered. With our collection of swimsuits for women, you can mix and match to create your own unique look. Take your pick from a variety of different patterns, colors, and textures, all with the latest trends of the season in mind.
You can definitely find really fast Internet in most of these places but you'll have to go there and spend a lot of time looking for the right place (and probably pay extra for it). If you're looking for 30 Mbps download I doubt you'll find that anywhere outside of a major city. When I'm house hunting I always use the Speed Test app on my iPhone to see if the Internet is up to snuff.
A day as exciting as this is sure to wear you out. So when darkness settles over the tropics and the South Seas paradise falls quiet, why not spend the night in one of Tropical Islands' well-appointed lodges? It's also possible to go rustic and stay overnight in a tropical tent. Well-equipped tents of various sizes are available in the rainforest camp within the dome. Set amid the beautiful scenery of the Brandenburg heath, the nearby Tropical Islands campsite offers an ideal mix of camping adventure, water-park fun and wellness holiday across 6,000m². And best of all: Tropical Islands is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year! Check in here for an experience to remember!
When you want to relax and get some work done then I recommend settling for awhile in Goa. It's something of a global mecca for hedonists, expat hippies and psychedelic raver mysticism. There is an interesting mix of people and you will almost never have a dull moment in a place like this. At the same time, it gets tiresome after awhile seeing all the preachy spiritual hipsters competing with each other in the game of spiritual one-upmanship.
While some snorkeling spots can be tricky the guides have an exceptional knowledge of their surroundings, constantly making sure that you remain safe. Most importantly, most of the best snorkeling sites in the Galapagos are actually quite shallow, meaning you can swim and walk out from the beach and then simply swim and follow the coastline to the vivid reefs. Not only does the water depth make it safe for inexperienced snorkelers, it keeps you close to some of the most evocative marine life.
Following a brief stint as a refugee camp after the 1906 earthquake, the area was touted as a resort. A small amusement park, Playland at the Beach, was built where Cabrillo and Balboa streets now end. Major development occurred in the 1920s and 1930s with construction of the Great Highway and housing in the adjacent Sunset and Richmond Districts. After the destruction of the Sutro Baths in 1966, the neighborhood lost its resort appeal; the amusement park was also torn down in 1972, to be replaced by apartment blocks and a supermarket in the 1990s.
Whether you're making waves in the water or sprawled on the sand during Spring Break, we've got swimwear to last you all summer long. Make a statement with a one-piece swimsuit, or mix it up with a cute bikini top and bikini bottom. From triangle bikini tops to bandeau bikini tops in a range of fresh prints and colors, you'll want to wear your swimwear everywhere.
The gateway to this proud and independent Polynesian island nation, Upolu packs in something for everyone. It's that stereotypical tropical island – where waterfalls seem to be cascading from everywhere, where white and black sand beaches are a thing of the norm, and where the unique Samoan culture can be experienced firsthand. It's also one of the most affordable South Pacific destinations – as simple or as luxurious as you want it to be. From the colorful markets of its capital city Apia, to the laid back beach fale accommodations on the dreamiest of its beaches, to the natural pools that appear as if taken straight out of a fairytale – your vivid memories of beautiful Samoa will last for eternity.
Mask: Your mask should be able to stay on your face without the help of the straps; mask straps are just there to make sure the mask stays in the correct position. A simple way to test the fit of the mask is to place the mask on your face and draw air in through your nose.The mask should seal to your face when you inhale. i.e. the pressure should hold it in place. Look for Tempered glass - Plastic fogs up and standard glass is hazardous if accidentally broken. Desirable features: Feathered, double skirt silicone - Makes mask seal more reliable and comfortable, Wide strap with touch buckle adjustment - Mask adjusts quickly, easily and stay adjusted
Ocean Beach is one of the most inexpensive places to visit in San Francisco! There's plenty of parking and most of what you can do is free! I was fortunate enough to have time to chase sunsets recently. Admittedly, the sunset took place behind some clouds but I'm familiar with the scene. It's been ages since I've hung out here and it was interesting to be surrounded by several cars from Sacramento. Must've been the long weekend! It was a windy day so actually getting out of the car was impossible. Well, unless you're ok collecting sand in your hair (and ears and nose)!! Ha! Growing up, I was spoiled with Ocean Beach being so close. Many nights and mornings were spent here working on my list of lofty goals, being a rebel with a 40 oz and J (ok, much hasn't changed), jogging the trail, kissing the cool mist, bond fires during the summer... You won't find a ferris wheel, amusement park, or row of palm trees but nearby is the San Francisco Zoo (for all you animals!!) and a lot of restaurants. Bring a jacket!
T.I. is a labyrinth of superlatives—it's one of the largest self-supporting halls on the planet and features the world's largest indoor rainforest; T.I. is Europe's largest tropical island resort and has the continent's biggest wellness and spa complex; the park also holds the record for Germany's highest water slide tower. I learn that the Eiffel Tower could comfortably lie down inside T.I. without piercing its dome, that the sea is the size of three Olympic swimming pools, that there are 50,000 real plants and a number of exotic fish. The air temperature is kept in the high seventies, humidity hovered around 50 percent.
The pair built the Cliff House, a resort hotel, and subdivided the area into lots. To promote their subdivision, Carlson and Higgins organized various activities, including mussel roasts and concerts. Despite their efforts, the development did not do well, because it was two and a half hours by carriage from downtown San Diego. They rented a locomotive, but by that time, the boom ended and the development was put on hold. The Ocean Beach Railroad, launched in April 1888, was a casualty of the economic decline.[5] Passengers could take a ferry from San Diego to Roseville in Point Loma to ride the train to the Cliff House. Later, Higgins committed suicide, and a fire started by a fallen chandelier burnt down the Cliff House in 1898. Carlson sold the Ocean Beach tract to an Eastern financier, delaying its development for 20 years.
Snorkels constitute respiratory dead space. When the user takes in a fresh breath, some of the previously exhaled air which remains in the snorkel is inhaled again, reducing the amount of fresh air in the inhaled volume, and increasing the risk of a buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood, which can result in hypercapnia. The greater the volume of the tube, and the smaller the tidal volume of breathing, the more this problem is exacerbated. A smaller diameter tube reduces the dead volume, but also increases resistance to airflow and so increases the work of breathing. Occasional exhalation through the nose while snorkeling will slightly reduce the buildup of carbon dioxide, and may help in keeping the mask clear of water. It may also increase fogging.
One of the most incredible coral atolls in the world, from the air – Fakarava resembles a giant donut sprinkled with the sweetest of candy. So pristine are its waters that Fakarava is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, a title that draws thousands of scuba divers to its thin shores every year. But this is hardly a stressful place and you don't need to be a scuba diver to have an excuse to visit. With beautiful white and pink sand beaches where you might spot Robinson Crusoe preparing lunch – Fakarava is a great place to relax and forget about life. Its small local population will be happy to show you around, and if you just happen to visit on a Sunday – don't miss out on a visit to the local church!
Most of the island hotels are in Oranjestad, as well as many great restaurants, which, with such a mix of cultures and influences, offer diverse fare. About 20 percent of the island is protected within the Arikok National Park that features local cacti and other desert species struggling to grow between rugged rock formations. It is the largest national park in the Caribbean.
An island or isle is any piece of sub-continental land that is surrounded by water.[2] Very small islands such as emergent land features on atolls can be called islets, skerries, cays or keys. An island in a river or a lake island may be called an eyot or ait, and a small island off the coast may be called a holm. A grouping of geographically or geologically related islands is called an archipelago, such as the Philippines.
Local events include the Ocean Beach Street Fair and Chili Cookoff in late June, a jazz festival at the foot of Newport in late September, the Ocean Beach Christmas Parade in early December, the Ocean Beach Kite Festival on the third Saturday of May, and the Ocean Beach Canine Carnival on the third Saturday in October. On Wednesday afternoons two blocks of Newport Avenue are closed for a farmers' market.[27]
Maui has many ideal snorkel spots, but for something completely different don your gear and sail on the luxury catamaran Kai Kanani to Molokini Crater—a tiny, volcanic crescent off the island's southernmost shore. A State Marine Life & Bird Conservation District, it is home to dolphins, manta rays, turtles, and dozens of varieties of insanely colorful tropical fish.
If your looking to step aboard something that is more modern, try Catamaran Reef Snorkel. On this tour, you get to sail on a luxurious 68 foot sailing catamaran, and get to explore the living coral reef's ecosystem in style. If you are looking for a shorter snorkeling trip, this is the one for you, lasting only three and a half hours, and providing a full hour of snorkeling and the rest of it traveling by wind power.
Thanks for the great list of vacation destinations! But when you are going to Panama I can recommand going to San Blas instead of Bocas. Why? Because Bocas is way to crowded and full with tourists! San Blas is more prestine and in my opinion more beautiful. Here check these pictures out http://sanblas-islands.com/pictures/. But if you want luxury and good Wi-Fi then skip San Blas, it is pretty back to basic 🙂 Greets!
Jet Ski • Parasail • Mini Water Park • Banana Boat
One of the more unusual highlights of a trip to Grand Cayman Island is the chance to snorkel at Stingray City, surrounded by a virtual fleet of 50 of one of the ocean's most fascinating and friendly creatures. The water is shallow (less than five feet deep) and crystal clear, making it great for beginners. Visitors are given ray-appropriate treats, and snorkel gear is included in the price of admission.
Love this empty beach. When I mean empty, not as crowded as other beaches that I frequent. Parking is easy, there's lots of space and the best part is that it's free! A great place to relax or take a walk. If you are heading to the Sutro Baths, make sure to drop by here first. I did and enjoyed it. I'll be back again when in the area. Maybe set up and enjoy one of their fire pits. From the first time I visited here to my most recent, nothing has really changed, which is great. It's good to know some towns maintain a calmness.
Underwater photography has become more and more popular since the early 2000s, resulting on millions of pictures posted every year on various websites and social media. This mass of documentation is endowed with an enormous scientific potential, as millions of tourists possess a much superior coverage power than professional scientists, who can not allow themselves to spend so much time in the field. As a consequence, several participative sciences programs have been developed, supported by geo-localization and identification web sites, along with protocols for auto-organization and self-teaching aimed at biodiversity-interested snorkelers, in order for them to turn their observations into sound scientific data, available for research. This kind of approach has been successfully used in Réunion island, allowing for tens of new records and even new species.[68]
Ocean beach is a beach. It is located in San Diego. I took my family and 3 of my closest friends here for a good old BBQ. The bathrooms smelled like fowl urine from the homeless folk but I still enjoyed eating my sandwich next to them. They asked me for a bite and politely declined. I wish all homeless folk were this nice however, that is not the case. The beach itself also has dog feces everywhere but I like dogs :)
Experience the stunning underwater world of diving in Key West. The blue waters surrounding the Southernmost City offer world-class wreck diving. On May 27, 2009, the U.S.N.S. Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg intentionally sunk to create an artificial reef in 140 feet of water, seven miles off Key West. The Vandenberg is the second largest ship purposely sunk as an artificial reef. It is now the southern anchor of the Florida Keys Shipwreck Trail. Learn more about diving the Vandenberg!
Indian women wear bikinis when they vacation abroad or in Goa without the family. Despite the conservative ideas prevalent in India, bikinis have become more popular. In summer, when women take up swimming, often in a public space, a lot of tankinis, shorts and single-piece swimsuits are sold.[121] The maximum sales for bikinis happen in the winter, the honeymoon season.[121]
The skirtini, which features a bikini top and a small, skirted bottom, is also an innovation for bikini-style clothes with more coverage.[147] Two-piece swimsuits with skirt panels were popular in the US before the government ordered a 10% reduction in fabric used in woman's swimwear in 1943 as wartime rationing.[47] In 2011, The Daily Telegraph identified the skirted bikini as one of the top 10 swimwear designs of that season.[148]
One of the great things about bikinis is that they come in two pieces, so you can feel free to mix things up to get just the right look--and fit. With bikini separates you can score the perfect sizes on top and bottom, and if you-re feeling creative, consider looking at them as a way to express your personality! We've got tons of cute bikinis for sale in all sorts of styles, including halter tops, spaghetti strap tops, bandeaus, and cheeky bottoms, from the best bikini brands. Creating the perfect beach look for your unique style is easy with our affordable prices and wide selection!

Dangerous drug trend called 'wasping' combines insecticide with meth
The active ingredient attacks the nervous system.
ByDr. Kelly Arps
Drug trend 'wasping' mixes insecticide with meth
The term "wasping" may not sound familiar, but first responders are learning about the emerging trend.
STOCK/Getty Images
The term "wasping" may not sound familiar, but first responders are learning about the emerging trend.
The concerning new drug practice is an abuse of the active components in insect killer, most commonly wasp killer spray, to achieve a high. Abused in combination with methamphetamines or used as a meth substitute, it has been reported by users to generate a "rush," feelings of déjà vu and a hallucinatory sense of smell. Users either spray the liquid onto the methamphetamine or crystallize the liquid using hot metal sheets, allowing the finished product to be inhaled or injected.
Extreme physical responses to wasping have been reported in some cases. But because this practice is relatively new, it remains to be seen how toxic or deadly it will be on a large scale.
How can an insect killer get someone high? The active ingredient in pesticides is a class of molecules known as pyrethroids, which penetrate the insect's nervous system. In insects, pyrethroids stun and then kill. In humans, they block normal nerve signaling, causing abnormal sensation and, in the worst cases, seizures or even paralysis.
The substance also causes over-activation of the sympathetic nervous system, often referred to as the "fight or flight" response, which can lead to excitability, heart racing and difficulty breathing.
Pyrethroids are toxins that can be deadly, either through respiratory failure or paralysis. Other side effects that have been described are headache, nausea, incoordination, tremors, facial flushing and swelling and burning and itching sensations.
The concern over people preparing and intentionally inhaling the drug is also tied to its known warnings -- the drug is most dangerous when inhaled. Working with the insect killer can lead to severe illness in approximately 4 to 14 percent of cases. On rare occasion, it can lead to death, which has been reported to occur in people with pre-existing lung conditions such as asthma.

Pequa's on fire with a two-peat win
Sabrina Alberti, Sports Editor
The field hockey team brought home a county championship yet again for Massapequa. The team left their home turf defeating Port Washington in a 2-1 victory in overtime.
The game was held on October 28 at 3 p.m. at Berner Middle School. The team was ecstatic to host the important game in their hometown for the first time because the county championship games have been held at Adelphi University the past years.
Both teams played with determination and it was obvious they both wanted to be victorious, as Port Washington was very aggressive towards Pequa's midfield.
From the start, the Massapequa offense dribbled the ball down the field in the goal in a short amount of time. Senior Claire DeSilva set the bar high as she scored the first goal making the score a 1-0 lead.
After a short period of time, Port Washington let the Chiefs know they were focused to win by scoring a goal and tying the game right before halftime. Both teams played hard but it wasn't enough to score before overtime.
Starting Junior forward Molly Gerasci took Port Washington's fury to her advantage as she scored the winning goal in overtime. Her field hockey career has become one to remember as she has scored the most goals in the team's last season. Despite all of her accomplishments, Molly could not have done it without the support from her team.
"You never want to find yourself in an overtime situation," Molly said. "But knowing the team we are, we went in confident and put everything we had onto the field." She was awarded the game ball by her coach, Melodee Ahrens, for her achievement at the end of the game.
The defensive line did not back down from Port Washington's intimidating forwards. Senior defender Paige Landy did just that. The Viking's skills were no match for Paige's when she had breakaways that led the Chiefs to victory.
"The feeling of winning counties is indescribable," Paige said. "It's sad to think this is my last time playing with this family to win a county championship but it is so exciting to be a champion again." This was the team's second time in a row winning the Class AA county championship.
The girls were looking forward to this meaningful game at the start of the season and finally came out on top.
As Molly scored the winning goal, the buzzer beater sounded and the girls knew they accomplished a goal they had been working towards all season. The crowd roared from the stands as the team rushed over to congratulate their senior goalie, Hannah Coleman.
It is recognizable that the team is united and will never back down from a challenge.
"Massapequa Field Hockey is a family and I couldn't thank this program for all they have taught me," Hannah Coleman said.
Hannah was overjoyed about the experience. "Winning counties as a senior is something that i've been looking forward to for a long time," she said. "This season was a fresh start for us and I couldn't be prouder of my team than I am right now."
The team will continue their journey to states as they play in the Long Island Championship at Berner Middle School on Saturday, November 3.

Merida and the Yucatan...a place to Start right here !
Is it safe to own a home in Yucatan and leave it unoccupied for part of the year if I am unable to rent it?
The Yucatan is very, very safe, and we see few break-ins. It is unlikely that your property would suffer any damage of any kind. Insurance is also available and inexpensive.
Violent crimes in Mexico are very rare and Merida and the Yucatan are considered by most people to be one of the safest places on earth to live. In Merida, you can walk down any street in Centro day or night without worrying about purse snatching or muggings.
WHY? First there is a different philosophy of law and order. The Mexican approach is based on the Napoleonic Code rather than English Common Law. Therefore, instead of being innocent until proven guilty, a person must prove their innocence or take the penalty. Thus, people in Mexico tend to be more careful and concerned in their dealings with others and in their behavior.
A second factor (especially in the Yucatan) is that it is primarily a family and community oriented society and there is very little juvenile crime and delinquency. For example: on weekends, instead of the youth driving around, drinking and looking for trouble; they go to many of Merida´s town squares with their parents and family. In Merida, you can see teenagers escorting their Grandparents and even dancing with them in the Zocolo.
In addition, neighbors (both Mexican and foreigner) watch out for each other and keep an eye on each other´s property while they are away from home.
EAT THE FOOD WITHOUT GETTING SICK?
In Merida, you can find a wide variety of restaurants from fast food to five star. Merida also has a huge number of street vendors…all of which are safe. However, we would recommend you drinking bottled water.
Merida has a large variety of grocery stores and many local market places with a pretty large selection of fresh fruits, vegetables and produce that truly make shopping a lovely experience. The Mexican climate provides year round growing so that berries, melons, mangos, pineapples, avocados, bananas, lettuce, squash, etc. are picked for the market when fresh and are delicious.
ARE THERE SOME GOOD VETS?
Dogs and cats with a veterinarian´s certificate indicating updated immunizations can be brought into Mexico without any quarantine. The vets in are all well trained, inexpensive and even make house calls at no added cost. We would be more than happy to give you some phone numbers of confident vets.
There are probably three reasons why it is called the White City: (1) the inhabitants generally wear white guayaberas, huipilles and Panama hats, (2) there is a white lime mixture that is used to spread on most of the roof tops to make them watertight and (3) the cleanliness of the city. The streets, plazas and parks are generally cleaned every day.
Merida, the colonial capital of the Yucatan was founded by Francisco de Montejo (a Spaniard) in 1542. When the Spanish arrived, they conquered the Mayan city of T´ho or Ichcansiho, tore down the pyramids and used the huge stones to build the foundation for the Cathedral of San Idelfonso. The Spaniards enslaved the Indians and built grand houses, offices and cathedrals. Merida became the capital, trade center and seat of civil and religious authority of the Peninsula. The Indians finally rebelled in the 1840´s ( the Caste War).
Merida today has about 1,100,000 residents and is a very cosmopolitan city with Mayan and Spanish descendants and is an extremely cultural city with many museums, libraries, theaters, numerous universities, etc. The economy that was once based on the henequen industry is now based on tourism, agriculture and fishing plus Merida´s export business is increasing every day. Some of the items exported are honey, sisal rope, petroleum products, hammocks, fine jewelry, concentrated orange juice, fish etc.
Residents call Merida "the Paris of the West" because of it´s tree lined boulevards, colonial mansions and estates of the henequen barons of the 1800¨s.

U.S.|Marathon Bombing Suspect, in First Court Appearance, Pleads Not Guilty
https://nyti.ms/12rhMKk
Marathon Bombing Suspect, in First Court Appearance, Pleads Not Guilty
By Richard A. Oppel Jr. and Jess Bidgood
BOSTON — In his first public appearance since he was captured hiding in a boat in a Boston suburb almost three months ago, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to 30 federal charges contained in a sweeping terrorism indictment.
With his left forearm in a cast or heavy bandage and with about three dozen victims and their family members looking on, Mr. Tsarnaev stood before a United States magistrate judge, Marianne B. Bowler, and said "not guilty" seven times as he was asked to enter a plea to different criminal counts covering his alleged role in killing three people and wounding more than 260 near the finish line of the race on April 15.
Most of the charges could mean the death penalty or life imprisonment if he is convicted. Mr. Tsarnaev has also been charged in the shooting death of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer three nights after the bombings.
Mr. Tsarnaev, 19, wore an orange jumpsuit over a dark T-shirt and fidgeted as he stood to make his pleas, speaking with an accent, during a hearing that lasted only about eight minutes. When he entered the courtroom, two women believed to be his sisters gasped and began to cry. Several other supporters in the courtroom whispered "yes" the first time he entered a plea of not guilty. One side of his face appeared injured or almost frozen. He smiled at the two women and made a kissing motion toward them when he left.
William Weinreb, an assistant United States attorney, told Judge Bowler that he expected the trial to last three to four months and for 80 to 100 witnesses to be called. The judge set Sept. 23 as the next court date. Mr. Tsarnaev, an ethnic Chechen, is a naturalized American citizen.

The courtroom was hot and tightly packed, but none of the relatives or victims, some sitting just a few feet away from Mr. Tsarnaev, appeared to taunt or jeer at him, though some began to cry as the hearing progressed. Several police officials involved in his apprehension were also in the courtroom, including Chief Edward Deveau of Watertown, Mass., where Mr. Tsarnaev was captured on the evening of April 19.
Outside the courthouse after the hearing, raw emotion and anger poured out from some of the victims and family members.
Liz Norden, the mother of 33-year-old J. P. Norden and 31-year-old Paul Norden, who each lost a leg in the attacks, said that seeing Mr. Tsarnaev at the hearing was disturbing.
"I was actually just sick to my stomach," Ms. Norden said. "I'm angry."
Mildred Valverde, 44, of Somerville, Mass., who suffered a concussion as well as torn ligaments and muscles and still walks with crutches, described the court hearing as "kind of eerie, kind of upsetting."
She added, "I think he should suffer in jail for the rest of his life."
As he stood before Judge Bowler, Mr. Tsarnaev seemed drowsy or tired, and he wiped his mouth and his nose several times, rubbing the back of his neck and grabbing at his jumpsuit, his curly hair flopping over his forehead. Aside from entering his pleas and saying a few brief words to his two lawyers, Judy Clarke and Miriam Conrad, he said nothing during the hearing. Federal marshals bound his hands as soon as the hearing was over and led him out.
Ms. Clarke had sought to enter the pleas on Mr. Tsarnaev's behalf, but Judge Bowler insisted that the defendant enter the pleas himself.
This was Mr. Tsarnaev's first appearance in federal court. He was charged and read his rights while he lay in a Boston hospital bed one week after the bombings — uttering "no" once and mostly nodding or shaking his head in response to questions — and then indicted on June 28.
Mr. Tsarnaev has recently been confined to a medical facility at Fort Devens, a United States military base 40 miles west of Boston, where he has been treated for gunshot wounds sustained during the shootout and pursuit that led to his capture in Watertown.
Federal prosecutors say Mr. Tsarnaev conspired with his older brother, Tamerlan, to carry backpacks containing pressure cookers filled with explosives to the marathon finish line, placed them amid scores of spectators near the end of the route and scuttled away before the bombs exploded seconds apart at 2:49 p.m. The blasts sent nails and ball bearings ripping through flesh with such power that they sheared the legs off some victims. Prosecutors say the two brothers also shot and killed the M.I.T. police officer, 27-year-old Sean Collier, on the night of April 18 in an effort to grab his service weapon.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died early on the morning of April 19 after a gunfight with the police in Watertown, during which Dzhokhar drove over him as he escaped in a carjacked Mercedes S.U.V., according to the federal indictment.
Before the hearing, about half a dozen current and former members of the wrestling team at Mr. Tsarnaev's high school lined up outside the courtroom hoping for a glimpse of a fellow athlete who had once seemed to have a bright future but had now become a mystery.
"It's strange," said Shun Tsou, 20, who spent three years on the team with Mr. Tsarnaev. "I'm torn on the whole situation."
He said he was not sure yet whether he believed his former team captain was guilty, and he wanted to see what happened in court on Wednesday.
"I really want to see what his reaction is today," Mr. Tsou said, "if he doesn't care, if he does care — I want to see."

Samsung KX gives consumers and retailers a glimpse of the future
Samsung puts its Galaxy range, the internet of things and community events at the heart of its new central London consumer space – but don't call it a store...
Ben Sillitoe
Global technology powerhouses Samsung and Microsoft made a series of announcements at the start of August suggesting they are strengthening ties.
The aim, according to the official parlance, is to create "seamless productivity experiences across devices, applications and services". And it starts with exclusive Microsoft integrations in the new Galaxy Note10, which the companies say will allow users to work fluidly between a smartphone and a PC.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella even appeared onstage at Samsung's Galaxy Note 10 launch on 7 August to underline that point – with the two companies keen to provide the relevant services and platforms for businesses and consumers alike in the 5G era.
Coincidentally, Samsung and Microsoft both opened central London spaces within three weeks of each other in July. The sites – in Kings Cross's Coal Drops Yard and Oxford Street respectively – have some common features, but are ultimately very different.
Whereas Microsoft's 21,932 sq ft store, which spans three floors in the heart of London's busiest retail hub, was unveiled alongside footballers, celebrities and other razzle-dazzle on 11 July, Samsung KX's 20,000 sq ft site opened on 31 July in "soft launch" mode.
Both spaces are examples of new-style shopping experiences that do not actually involve many direct shopping opportunities. They are destinations where visitors can play with, test and learn about products and new technology.
It's a brand engagement method many traditional retailers say they are aiming to recreate in their own flagships, as a larger share of sales continue to come from ecommerce and shopping habits evolve. The format is adopted by many retailers in Coal Drops Yard – London's most recently opened large retail and hospitality development.
Old, new and future
One week after Samsung KX opened its doors for the first time, Computer Weekly received a private tour of the site, and the place certainly stands out not just for its lack of direct retail offering but also for its unique juxtaposition of old, new and future.
The building itself was part of a collection of structures once used to transfer coal arriving by rail from the north of England to road networks in the south.
But while the design and location represent history, some of the items showcased are what Samsung sees as the future. The entrance wing of Samsung KX is a lifestyle setting, showcasing readily available items for connected kitchens and living rooms, but there are also internet of things-style products on show that are still in beta mode.
"We talk about connected living but that's a minority of people, so we're bringing the subject to life to let them know what that will look like," says Tanya Weller, director of Samsung KX.
"We're actually being brave enough to bring prototypes into an experience like this so we can show we're at the forefront of innovation."
Although some smart home items on show are already on the market, there is a connected car concept in the space, displaying as-yet unlaunched features which will enable people to link mobile devices and smart home products to their car dashboard.
"It's giving them a glimpse of the future," says Weller. "These are things that are not yet out there but are coming."

A recent popup store in Westfield London to used data collected from social media to sell only products trending in real time.
Shoppers want to use mobile or the web to see availability of items in stores near them in a growing trend towards convenience shopping.
During the tour, our guide reiterated time and again that Samsung KX "is not a store". If visitors want to make a purchase, they can ask a member of staff to order it online, but they cannot walk out with items or collect online orders there – in fact, there is an apparent aversion to on-site transactions.
At the front of the new space is a service area where Samsung users can receive product advice or repairs, but as visitors move through the space they enter a wing featuring virtual reality installations, phone case customisation stations, and a theatre-like area with a big screen, where a programme of community events will run every week.
There's also an opportunity for visitors to try their hand at becoming DJs, with staff on hand to talk people through the musical capabilities held in Galaxy phones. There's the obligatory café, too, something many new retail spaces offer their customers.
"It's really an event venue that will evolve and change depending on what our audience are interested in and what our community needs – it's very different to what's currently out there in terms of retail experience," says Weller.
She adds that Samsung's head office staff are already using the space as a place to meet channel partners and business-to-business customers, but the adaptable event area – currently used by 27 partners including yoga teachers and local universities – is viewed as the unique selling point.
"Being an open source platform is part of our mantra and we're open to working with community partners and passion partnerships."
Such positioning has required staff to be trained more deeply in customer service and Samsung culture, as opposed to the overt sales tactics required for traditional shops.
A dedicated pop-up training facility kitted out as a mini version of Samsung KX was created by the company in association with Mash Staffing, and employees spent four weeks there learning the relevant skills and getting to know each other pre-opening.
Weller says training retail staff at other brands can feel "quite functional" and formulaic, but for the 88 Samsung KX staff – who were selected from 14,500 applications – they are encouraged to offer up ideas, and help develop the events programme.
"It's about making sure they are inspired by the vision of what we're trying to achieve," she says. Mash developed a mobile app that staff use to communicate and provide feedback to senior management.
Martin Schofield, former retail systems manager at Burberry and ex-IT and logistics director at Harvey Nichols, and now CEO of Retail247 Consulting, describes Samsung KX as a "beautiful space" and worthy of a visit for those looking for technology inspiration.
"It's an out-and-out brand showcase, positioning Samsung as a purveyor of luxury and innovation rather than utility and necessity," he says.
"It is an exercise to differentiate, and to capture the aspirational margin that Apple has so successfully engineered."
Although Samsung seems to be working evermore closely with Microsoft, the design, feel and atmosphere of their respective new London hubs differ considerably. And there appears little appetite from the Korean company to replicate the much heralded "Apple store experience", too.
"What makes us different is the role of the space – it's really focused on the experience," explains Weller.
"You won't see rows and rows of tables with heaps of point of sale – it's in a lifestyle setting so we're showcasing it in a different environment. It's paving the way for new retail, and we've got some grand ambitions for it."

Doctor who saved pilot's life after Florida plane emergency shares 'remarkable' survival story
Passenger landed Cessna 208 at Palm Beach International Airport on May 10
A Palm Beach County doctor shared his story Thursday after saving the life of a pilot who suffered a medical emergency and became unconscious on a small private plane that made an emergency landing at Palm Beach International Airport last week.
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — A Palm Beach County doctor shared his story Thursday after saving the life of a pilot who suffered a medical emergency and became unconscious on a small private plane that made an emergency landing at Palm Beach International Airport last week.
Cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Nishant Patel held a news conference at Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center to discuss the 64-year-old pilot's condition and recovery.
"The story is a miracle after a miracle," Patel said.
A single-engine Cessna 208 following an emergency landing at Palm Beach International Airport on May 10, 2022.
The pilot, Ken Allen, was flying a single-engine Cessna 208 from the Bahamas to Fort Pierce, Florida on May 10 when he suffered a life-threatening aortic dissection, what Patel called a "high mortality case."
"About 50% of patients who have this diagnosis won't even make it to the hospital," Patel said. "Even with treatment, surgical treatment, the risk of passing away with the operation or within the hospital stay is quite high."

Palm Beach County doctor who saved pilot's life shares survival story
Lakeland man Darren Harrison, 39, who had no flying experience, miraculously took control of the aircraft and landed it successfully at PBIA around 12:30 p.m.
"I knew if I didn't react, that we would die," Harrison told TODAY anchor Savannah Guthrie on Monday.
"The thought never crossed my mind to call and tell my wife bye." Darren Harrison says the first person he called after he landed was his wife, who is seven months pregnant with their child. pic.twitter.com/w9R1wa7MmG
— TODAY (@TODAYshow) May 16, 2022
Patel said Allen was initially brought to St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach with signs of a stroke including a droop on left side of his face and the loss of movement on one side of his body.
However, when it was discovered Allen needed complex cardiac care, he was transferred to Palm Beach Gardens Medical Center, one of the area's leading heart hospitals.
The pilot underwent emergency surgery, which lasted from the late afternoon on May 10 until roughly midnight.
Allen was released from the hospital on Monday and is "resting comfortably locally" and "doing quite well," Patel said.
Harrison said Allen complained of having a headache and feeling "fuzzy" before passing out in the cockpit.
TODAY, NBC News
Darren Harrison speaks to TODAY anchor Savannah Guthrie on May 16, 2022.
"The moment that he was describing to his friends on the plane, hey guys, I don't feel well. I have the worst headache of my life. I'm feeling fuzzy, dizzy. That is the exact event that the tear occurred in his aorta," Patel said. "To be able to survive that acute event was really quite remarkable."
Patel said Allen will remain in South Florida for a couple weeks for observation before returning home to Polk County.

President Signs SGR Fix Bill
by Emily P. Walker Emily P. Walker, Washington Correspondent, MedPage Today December 16, 2010
WASHINGTON -- President Obama signed into law a bill that shelved the scheduled 25% cut in Medicare payment rates and guarantees physicians a stable Medicare reimbursement through 2011.
Congress passed the $15 billion bill last week.
The one-year fix is the fifth and longest extension of Medicare physician payment rates passed by Congress this year. And it essentially puts doctors back in the yearly "last-minute-extension" cycle Congress has followed for most of the past decade.
The American Medical Association (AMA) which has been advocating for a year-long fix, celebrated the president signing the bill.
"The AMA commends President Obama and bipartisan leaders in the Senate and House for their commitment to a year-long delay of the 25% cut," said AMA president Cecil Wilson, MD, in a statement. "Leaving behind this year's vicious cycle of five delays was crucial to preserving healthcare for seniors, and it provides time for Congress to work on a long-term solution to the physician payment problem."
But there is still no permanent fix for the sustainable growth rate (SGR) problem, which means that doctors will be facing a cut of more than 25% in Medicare rates in 2012 unless Congress figures out a long-term solution in the meantime.
The pay fix will be paid for by increasing the amount people must pay back if they receive subsidies from the federal government to help pay for health insurance.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), people who make up to four times the federal poverty level will receive federal subsidies starting in 2014 to help them purchase the insurance that law mandates they have.
If a person receiving the credit doesn't accurately state his or her income, or if the person's income increases during the year, individuals would have to pay the government back $250, while families would refund $400.
The SGR bill replaces that flat-rate with a sliding scale, requiring those with low incomes to pay less, and requiring those with higher incomes to pay much more -- between $600 and $3,500 depending on income.
The legislation also extends a payment mechanism that adjusts for geographic differences in the cost of providing medical care, provides exceptions for caps in cases where additional therapy services are deemed to be medically necessary, extends increased rates for ambulance services, and provides a 5% increase in payments for certain mental health services.
