Additionally, water consumption, paper consumption, waste production and recycling are also monitored.   AXA’s environmental footprint is published in AXA’s Universal Registration Document (URD) under Chapter 4: Sustainability.  In 2020, the Group renewed its commitments by setting an additional carbon reduction target and committing to offset the remaining emissions. In 2023, in order to comply with GHG Protocol recommendations, AXA revised its calculation methods, resulting in a restatement of historical data (mostly disassociation of scope 3 emissions linked to energy, updated emissions factors for business travel). Between 2019 and 2023 AXA’s own operations GHG emissions decreased by 34% (related to energy consumption, business travel, car fleet, and IT equipment and services). In 2023, AXA’s total energy consumption was 223,638 MWh, including 126,199 MWh of renewable energy and 97,484 MWh of non-renewable energy. AXA also achieved reductions in non-energy consumption, such as water and waste. As part of its new AXA for Progress Index, AXA Group has set for its own operations as an exemplary company the target to contribute to Net-Zero by 2030, i.e. reducing by 50% its GHG emissions related to energy Scope 1 and 2, car fleet and business travel compared to 2019, and offsetting the remaining emissions with high quality carbon credits. AXA’s GHG emissions reduction target is based on the approach promoted by the Science Based Targets (SBT) initiative, which AXA joined in 2015. To achieve its new AXA for Progress Index Net-Zero 2030 target, using the Absolute Contraction approach with a 2019 baseline, AXA focuses on reducing its scope 1 & 2 (energy and car fleet) and scope 3 (business travel) emissions as follow:  Digital activities have a significant environmental footprint due to the extensive use of energy and raw material required to build increasingly sophisticated devices.  In 2020, AXA initiated a Digital Sustainability program led by AXA Group Operations, with Corporate Responsibility team support, covering all AXA entities. This program aims at measuring the carbon footprint of AXA’s digital activities, considering the different components (usage, equipment, data centers and services) in a holistic way. Along with its commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of its own operations, AXA compensates for the remaining emissions each year by purchasing carbon credits. By offsetting the 2020 GHG emissions related to energy, car fleet, business travel and IT equipment and services, AXA Group’s operations have been carbon neutral on this perimeter since 2021. To compensate the full year 2023 carbon footprint of this scope (150,458 tCO2 eq).

sum The petite dining room is usually full of parties sharing baskets of pork and shrimp siu mai and steamed pork buns — but don’t be afraid to branch out from the classics and peanut dumplings are

“Today at 14H34 (local time, 20H34 GMT) the Rincón de la Vieja volcano has made a powerful eruption,” said in a video Cyrill Müller, volcanologist of the Vulcanological and Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica (Ovsicori) of the National University (UNA) “The plume composed of water vapor and volcanic material reached a height of 3,000 meters above crater level,” he added and occurs when there is interaction between hot magma and water which vaporizes and increases 1,000 times its volume in seconds The Rincón de la Vieja volcano is one of the five active volcanoes in Costa Rica located in the Guanacaste region about 270 km northwest of San José which means a state of “significant” seismicity and small eruptions with “significant emission of acid gases” according to the Vulcanological and Seismological Observatory of Costa Rica which occurs one month after the last similar one “generated lahars on the northern flank which are a mixture of mud and hot water that comes out of the lake when there is an eruption” These sediments descended through the channels of the volcano’s slopes and dragged sediments downhill according to the National Emergency Center (CNE) “This month the volcano has remained in constant eruption,” the CNE said and warned the inhabitants of several localities near the volcano to “stay away from the riverbeds that could transport materials and sediments from the volcano” The activity registered by the Rincón de la Vieja volcano is the “most energetic of the month” The volcanologist added that monitoring parameters warn that “there is probably a small intrusion of magma and volcanic ridges below the crater” The Rincón de la Vieja volcano is a 1,895-meter-high massif located in the Central Mountain range of Costa Rica which runs through the center of the country from north to south Shared by More than 300 faculty physicians of UT Health San Antonio’s medical practice are listed in “Best Doctors” features in San Antonio Magazine and San Antonio

Society in preparation for the opening of the Adobe as a museum by the City of Milpitas I intensified my research into the site’s past to ensure the accuracy of information about it This effort has yielded both new insight as well as corrected a few “facts” in its orthodox history The José Maria Alviso Adobe in Milpitas is the only remaining original Monterey Colonial style building in the San Francsico Bay Area It is also historic in another sense – it is the oldest continuously occupied adobe house in California (about 150 years Its architectural style features such elements as a hipped roof in which all sections meet the roofline (refer back to first photo) in contrast with a peaked roof hand-split wood shingles rather than Spanish tile and a symmetrical layout (typically three rooms downstairs and three rooms upstairs) which combines Hispanic and Anglo architectural traditions was originally developed by Thomas Oliver Larkin He began construction of his own house in 1835 twenty-two years after Alta California switched from Spanish to Mexican administration Larkin was appointed the region’s only American Consul and in 1849 he was a signer of the first California Constitution in preparation for its imminent statehood José Maria de Jesus Alviso (1798-1853) was the son of Francisco Xavier Alviso (1765-1803) and the grandson of Domingo Alviso (1739-1777) Domingo was one of thirty-eight soldados in Juan Bautista de Anza’s expedition of 1775-1776 to colonize Alta California; Francisco Xavier was one of four Alviso children in that migration of mostly military and four civilian families was strengthening Spain’s claim on Alta California in order to thwart settlement by foreign powers José enlisted in 1819 as a soldado in the San Francisco Company continuing in the military tradition of his father and grandfather but he left after a short career of eight years in 1827 He became a ranchero as early as 1828 with a herd of two hundred cattle grazing on rangeland he did not own but had obtained permission to use; his post-military life also included a brief foray in civic service in 1836 when he was elected Alcaldé (magistrate and lay judge) of El Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe “the tract of land named Milpitas” on which the Alviso Adobe was built was granted to “Don José Maria Alviso” by then Estados Unidos Mexicanos’ Acting Governor of Alta California the grant provided land measuring 1 Castilian league north-south by one-half league east-west Castro doubled the grant to a full square league of 4,457.66 acres) José Alviso had always petitioned for one square league Today we know his persistent effort to secure a rancho for himself had been an arduous labyrinthine pursuit because Alviso’s original application was filed five and one-half years earlier on March 1st 1830 with the Mission of Santa Clara de Asis well before the Secularization Act of 1833 that transferred authority regarding land ownership from the Church to civic authorities Numerous applications followed until he was successful All early Spanish and post-1821 Mexican land grants were affected by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo which ended the 1846-1848 war between Mexico and the United States All of Alta California — in today’s terms and the western half of New Mexico (the eastern half became part of Texas) — was ceded to the United States as part of this treaty which officially attempted to respect Hispanic ownership rights by stipulating that early landholders would retain their property if they could legally prove their ownership a task which proved to be both difficult and very expensive the California Land Commission confirmed Alviso’s land title but this decision was legally contested by Nicholas Antonio Berryessa Jr whose son Carlos Antonio in 1841 had married Juana Francisca Josefa Maria Galindo This challenge was undertaken by Nicholas Berryessa because in April 1834 he had been granted ownership by the Alcaldé of El Pueblo de San José to some land adjoining the tract of land being requested by José Alviso thus the legal boundary became a point of contention later the Berryessa’s heirs failed in their claim to Rancho Milpitas when the Land Commission rejected their appeal and reaffirmed José Alviso’s original land grant from Acting Governor Castro a final patent was issued to Alviso’s estate With the advent of the Gold Rush and the growing groundswell of westward migration to California incoming settlers started a small but thriving community called “Penitencia” named after the nearby Penitencia Creek (it is today’s straightened flood control canal on the west side of Abel Street) but the township also appeared on some maps as “Milpitas Village,” after its namesake Although early maps consistently identify the tract of land as Rancho Milpitas or Milpitas Rancho José Alviso also named this property Rancho San Miguel in my opinion in honor of his grandparents who were born and married in San Miguel de Horcasitas New Spain before their migration to Alta California in 1776 This “alternate” name appears on several deeds to various individuals 1856 for a northwestern portion of land sold to Milpitas township pioneer Michael Hughes Other details about life on Rancho Milpitas According to the history described in the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form filed in 1997 by the City of Milpitas the original Alviso Adobe was built in 1837 as a single-story Spanish-style adobe as well as six children ranging in age from 12 years to 2 years This raises a substantive question in my mind: Was the family residing in another location before 1837 such as in El Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe where José had been Alcaldé the year before was the Alviso Adobe actually built earlier than 1837 A major clue is contained in José’s second petition dated November 1st 1834 asking again for a grant of the tract of land that eventually became Rancho Milpitas He in part declares there (in the following translation from the original Spanish) “I herewith present for the purpose of asking for the concession of the said tract of land in ownership within the limits described on the map in consideration of the stock (author’s note: his earlier herd of 200 cattle by then had grown into a herd of 600 cattle and 30 mares) I possess as set forth and the improvements I have on said place and other lands enclosed and cultivated.” Such extensive “improvements” were offered frequently as proof that the prospective grantee was acting to utilize the land productively as an upstanding member of the community and not let the land be idle as a personal instrument of land speculation were either of these “two walled houses” actually the same one (albeit upgraded years later to two stories) that currently exists which I believe is certainly possible and even likely then today’s adobe actually was built in 1834 or earlier and not in 1837 or later As José’s children grew up to raise their own families several additional adobes were built to the south along Piedmont Road but they were demolished in the early 1900s after those Alviso descendants no longer owned these partitions of land Originally Rancho Milpitas had been part of the outlying area of El Pueblo de San José de Guadalupe proof of this is that almost all of José’s grant applications for “the tract of land named Milpitas” had been carefully reviewed and recommended to the Governor by the Ayuntamiento (i.e. The time-consuming procedure even required the testimony of three upstanding citizens to certify his worthiness as a member of the community Some aspects of early life in Milpitas Village new fortune-seeking settlers poured in from the eastern U.S and elsewhere because of the California Gold Rush and its prospects of statehood Upon leaving the gold fields (after having struck it rich new Milpitas townfolk settled on the western edge of the Rancho along what was referred to as The Mission Road (from El Pueblo San José Guadalupe to Mission San José); others put down roots in the more open eastern foothill rangelands They typically grew private gardens of squash beans and other edible crops along or near the banks of the nearby Penitencia and Coyote Creeks Penitencia Creek was the western boundary of Rancho Milpitas; Coyote Creek was the western boundary of Rincon de los Esteros Briefly Milpitas township was known as Penitencia by its locals until the first postmaster objected that the name was too reminiscent of “penitentiary,” which is quite ironic because in this era Milpitas is the site of Elmwood Correctional Facility During the 1870s immigrant John O’Toole owned a 584-acre property in southern Milpitas with Elmwood trees lining the lane leading from the Mission Road (aka the Old Oakland Highway) to his residence; it was later purchased by Santa Clara County to be used initially as an almshouse (a home for the poor) but it gradually transitioned into housing for low-security inmates presaging its current use José Maria Alviso grew some table crops near to the Adobe close to the Arroyo de los Coches that ran along the northern boundary of his land but primarily he was a conventional Hispanic ranchero who raised cattle It should be noted that during the Spanish and Mexican eras the chief source of income for the owners of ranchos came from the sale (or desirable trade) of cattle hides and tallow a practice described in detail in the 1840 book by Richard Henry Dana there existed a highly commercial and profitable shipping economy of exporting goods from Alta Californa and importing other goods from the Eastern United States As José’s family expanded to nine children so a second story was added to Alviso Adobe in the early 1850s transforming his original single-story Spanish Adobe with 22-inch thick adobe walls into the Monterey Colonial style described previously Juana Francisca Galindo Alviso (1806-1885) in 1858 married her manager of Milpitas Rancho who thereafter acted as guardian of the three youngest Alviso children the pressure of unstoppable and life-altering changes resulted in the beginning of the slow dissolution of Rancho Milpitas A major reason was that legal expenses incurred to defend the Alviso family title to the property necessitated an occasional need for hard-to-come-by cash resulting in acreage being sold off piece by piece as legal action seemed to never end Another reason for decreasing the amount of the Rancho acreage was providing inheritances of property to José’s descendants the now twice-widowed Juana gave her second oldest daughter then wife of Jose Antonio Narvaez (1824-1901) a 78.79-acre parcel of land that included the current Alviso Adobe Maria Guadalupe de los Angeles Alviso (1844-1920) a 35-acre section of land (south of Maria Carmen’s section) on which there was another (probably smaller) adobe the remaining land that had not been sold off previously was legally partitioned among the surviving nine descendants That land is depicted in a plat map dated 1890 and is referred to as “The Urridias Partition” running west of the Alviso Adobe along Calaveras Road and extending partly toward the Oakland Highway (our Main Street) The Cuciz family bought the northeastern section of the original Rancho from the Gleason family in 1922 This property had been inherited earlier by Catherine Christina Narvaez (1857-1948) from her mother who in turn had received it from her mother Catherine Narvaez was the direct granddaughter of José Maria de Jesus Alviso and the wife of James A so the chain of title is clearly established and definitively identifies who sold the property to the Cuciz’s The Cuciz family gradually made many improvements to their farm and the house replaced the original exterior lean-to kitchen with an attached kitchen addition integrated within the house and a barn partly constructed of timbers salvaged from three adobes that were town down all of which is documented in the site’s Historic Landmark registration of 1997 they respectfully retained as much of the historical legacy of the original property as practicable the Cucizes sold most of the property to the nearby Calvary Assembly of God Church The final transformation of Rancho Milpitas and its Adobe into a public park The City of Milpitas acquired the historic Adobe site and this building is now an historic landmark in final stages of restoration (from an architectural point of view more accurately the Adobe has been renovated refinished and repurposed for its new role as a multi-faceted museum) The City of Milpitas has spent almost two decades strengthening the residence against earthquakes and slowly repaired it and the outbuildings to yield the current historic park It showcases the original Mission black fig tree two old sycamores (one dating back an estimated 165+ years) as well as replanted apricot trees to evoke the orchard that previously existed during the Cuciz period Positioned under the giant sycamore is older-era farm equipment donated by the family of the now-deceased Mabel Mattos former Milpitas historian and namesake of the newest Milpitas elementary school In Spring of 2013 the City had a dedication ceremony opening this public park located at Alviso Adobe Court cul-de-sac near Piedmont and Calaveras Roads The grounds are securely gated at night to protect the historic buildings but Alviso Park is opened for visitation in the morning and closed about dusk it provides two bathrooms and eight picnic tables located around four grills for cooking hot food there is prominent signage providing historical information at many places of interest within the park the renovated and adapted ground floor of the Alviso Adobe is nearly completed and will be opening as a museum providing docent-led tours for the public in general and by special arrangement for busloads of curious Milpitas students the Alviso

Adventures Magazine 2022 Travel Media Awards Finalist: 'Young Travel Writer of the Year' 'Sustainability Feature of the Year' More posts by Stuart Kenny The best hikes in Costa Rica are the hikes that showcase the remarkable biodiversity of this vibrant Central American country and so many dramatic volcanoes and vibrant nature reserves too - meaning there's a whole lot of beautiful scenery to hike through A massive 25% of Costa Rica's natural beauty is protected, with a staggering 28 national parks, over 50 wildlife refuges, and around 5% of the world's biodiversity found in the country - meaning that more than 500,000 species can be found in the natural landscapes around the country jaguars and howler monkeys to hummingbirds We hope to give you some answers to exactly that in the list below the best hikes in Costa Rica are always going to be subjective what we’ve really aimed to do is to give you an idea of the diversity across the country; the different areas and styles of hike available to give you a starting point to start planning a trip We've selected these 10 routes as the best hikes in Costa Rica: Check opening times before arriving at a national park in Costa Rica as they can shut on certain days of the week (often Mondays) or for special occasions It’s important to note that these route descriptions are only short summaries designed to inspire but not to serve any navigational purpose They are not intended to guide you on the route and further mapping and planning (or a local guide!) will be required if you want to safely walk any of the trails featured This is particularly important in a country like Costa Rica where many of the best hikes go through hot and humid remote rainforests Here’s our guide to the best walks in Costa Rica Costa Rica is bordered by Nicaragua to the north and Panama to the south sitting firmly in the centre of Central America The Carribean Sea (a sea of the Atlantic Ocean) to the east The Camino de Costa Rica is a long-distance trekking route which runs from the Atlantic coast of the country on the east to the Pacific coast on the west 16-stage route is perhaps the most immersive hike that can be done in the country leaving the Caribbean Sea and heading into Barbilla National Park where you'll be surrounded by an abundance of biodiversity from sloths and howler monkeys to hummingbirds and multi-coloured frogs "Our main objective is to help these communities through which the trail passes," Espino told us "We also use the trail as a means of ensuring there is protection for biodiversity." The best example of this is perhaps when the route enters the Nairi Awari territory which is home to the indigenous Cabécar people you can walk with a Cabécar guide and stay in a campsite on the edge of a national park Other highlights include the thermal waters arriving in Quepos to far-reaching views of the Pacific Ocean Read more: On the 280km Coast to Coast Hike Across Costa Rica this hike will soon have you passing Golfito National Wildlife Refuge en route to the neighbouring park Piedra Blancas National Park - a lesser-visited part of Costa Rica The terrain is primary rainforest on the Southern Pacific Coast of Costa Rica Think stunning birds and animals - howler monkeys The place is considered to be one of the best parks in the country for bird watching and the scenery is appropriately stunning too; wondrous waterfalls picturesque beaches and even an off-shore coral reef Hike deep into the forest and you'll reach the El Bonito Operational Centre where you can have a rest before continuing on The final section of this trek to San Josecito Beach takes you through lowland forest to a spot where the rainforest meets the sea Due to remote access - Piedras Blancas National Park is 138 miles (222km) from San Jose City - this is not a frequented park in Costa Rica Know that an expert local guide will be absolutely essential Corcovado National Park is the biggest national park in Costa Rica It's also the largest piece of primary forest on the American Pacific coastline and it’s one of just a handful of sizeable areas of lowland rainforest remaining in the world That should give you an idea of the scale and reputation One option is to start your hike at the La Leona Ranger Station - which marks the entrance to the park - and head in through the rainforest across rivers and along the sandy coastline of the Osa Peninsula The Osa Peninsula is home to the largest population of jaguars and tapirs in Costa Rica (though the former are particularly hard to spot) harpy eagles and more brightly-coloured insects than you knew existed There's a reason National Geographic called this place "the most biologically intense place on Earth in terms of biodiversity" You'll stroll along picturesque beaches on the egde of the Pacific step through dense jungle and tackle a couple of river crosses - the last of which The station itself sleeps 30 people in bunk beds a guide is a requirement for safe navigation One of the most popular walks in Costa Rica is in Mistico Park on the Hanging Bridges - a series of suspension bridges in the Volcan Arenal National Park and there's a diverse range of lowland and highland forest to look out at from those bridges The area is home to over 700 species of flora more than 300 species of bird and countless mammals This is more of a leisurely stroll than a hike (there are plenty of extremely demanding walks elsewhere on this list) and it's also one of the only walks on this list where you can go self-guided though given it's only around $12 extra to get a guide - who will be an expert in the flora and fauna - it can be worthwhile to do so One interesting option is to book a night walk in the park combine a visit to the hanging bridges with a two and a half hour hike from Arenal Volcano Park to a dry lava field for example and/or with a hike to La Fortuna Waterfall - though either will require transports between hiking locations There are waterfalls and then there are waterfalls worth taking a day out of your trip to go and see plummeting 90m (270ft) into an extinct volcano crater This is on private land (as are all waterfalls around Bajos del Toro) so unfortunately there is an entry fee - and at $10 it’s not the cheapest attraction in the great outdoors - but the trail is wonderful before dropping steeply down to the base of the fall on a staircase you can wonder at the green cliffs and orange streaks on the walls that make these so distinctive because the area is buzzing with hummingbirds Waterfall enthusiasts should also check out the Nauyaca waterfalls further south and you can also extend your trip in the Bajos del Toro region by visiting the Bajos del Toro cloud forests Monteverde might be the crown jewel of Costa Rica's Cloud Forests The tallest mountain in Costa Rica is the mighty Cerro Chirripó The hike up Cerro Chirripó is a tough 12.4 miles each way from the village of San Gerardo de Rivas and the ascent will take you up over 2,000 metres (7,218ft) with an overnight spent at the Crestones Base Camp a lodge up at 3,400m (11,155ft) which leaves hikers 3.4 miles (5.5km) away from the summit The route up Chirripó starts at San Gerardo de Rivas passes through cloud forests and páramos (an ecosystem globally unique to the high tropics of the New World) the trail eventually takes you to a summit view over all of Costa Rica from the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean and provides a remarkable lookout point over the Talamanca Mountains Note that high on the mountains in Costa Rica you won't get the same kind of humidity you usually get elsewhere in the country Temperatures can be around 4–18˚C on the higher reaches of Chirripó If you want to climb Chirripó, you'll need to buy a permit to do so in advance Tenorio Volcano National Park is a real beauty It's actually better known  for the Rio Celeste Waterfall than it is for the eponymous volcano There's an out-and-back trail that runs through the park taking in several sights of natural beauty you'll walk uphill and soon come to that waterfall The Rio Celeste fall is a 30m (98ft) waterfall which has an intense blue colour It's surrounded on every side by busy green rainforest and the cliff walls around it make the location feel like you’ve just stumbled into a little piece of paradise After a detour down to the foot of the fall which involved descneding a long staircase (and which will next take you to La Laguna Azul a lovely lagoon which is a similarly intense colour of blue a segment of river where you can watch the water bubbling away with volcanic heat where two streams meet to form the Rio Celeste and you can see the water actively changing colour - with the clear current turning into that blue volcanic waters and tight paths of Tenorio are simply remarkable there's also a serious hike to the volcano rim in Tenorio though you'll need a guide to help navigate the jungle Rincón de la Vieja is an active volcano in the northwest of Costa Rica though there were smaller eruptions in 1998 and 1999 The National Park around the volcano is a fascinating place to explore - with hot springs and steam vents dotted around in addition to the famous Costa Rican wildlife despite the fact that the landscape is quite different to the rest of Costa Rica There are three main hiking trails in the park The first and most famous is the 1.9-mile (3km) Las Pailas trek - taking in boiling mud pots which involves a 2.6-mile (4.3km) walk to a waterfall The most demanding trek is the Active Crater trail up to the 1,915m (6,282ft) rim of the Rincon de la Vieja volcano then walking through a drier forest before the landscape becomes rockier as you near the rim with remarkable views from the top around the surrounding area Expect to be on the go for between six and nine hours Please note: The trails to the peak of the volcano do close from time to time if there is an increase in volcanic activity and it is not uncommon to see these trails shut Rangers also close the trail regularly in windy conditions The enormous Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve comes in at 765 acres visitors are only allowed access to around 3%of that is for the animals and biodiversity that the reserve was set up to protect The cloud forests are something really quite unique They are literally forests which are shrouded in cloud There are several trails around the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve but they don't add up to an abundance so why not.. it works out as around eight miles in total The longest loop will take you from the Sendero Bosque Nuboso through the dense a terrific viewpoint of the Continental Divide - the line which divides the continent into the Pacific and the Caribbean you'll be able to see the true beauty of the vast greenery often hidden beneath the clouds Next it's on to the Sendero Pantanoso and Sendero El Rio along a beautiful ridge You'll find yourself in prime bird spotting territory here (eyes peeled for hummingbirds three-wattled bellbirds and resplendent quetzals) so you might even catch a glimpse of a few monkeys too Finish off by heading to the El Rio waterfall sloths and even - if you're lucky - jaguar dirt and asphalt on a route through a fascinating landscape - up an extinct volcano in central Cartago Province There may not be as many animals here as on certain other trails in Costa Rica (though you'll still see your fair share) but the flora here is immensely diverse; and you'll see a lot of flowers and plants here that it's unlikely you'll see elsewhere in the country - from eucalyptus trees to pine forests The trails are also well marked and maps are frequent so you can sculpt your own route through the area Picture high farmland with far-reaching views of mountains It's worth noting that if walking the full route where they charge 1,000 colones (£1.50/$1.90) as a toll to continue on the route This also offers a chance to top up on food though and you can also grab a coffee or agua dulce here as well Please note that you need to a reservation the best time to visit Costa Rica is in the dry season which runs roughly from the middle of December to the middle of April This is largely because the trails won't be damp and slippy during this period meaning you'll often have the trails to yourselves The rainy season brings out a lot of colours and scents in the national parks too - and ultimately The wildlife in Costa Rica is famously diverse with around 4-5% of the world's species being found in the country it is often said to be one of the most biodiverse countries in the world The most famous animals in the country are the likes of sloths chameleons and the many multi-coloured frogs which are adorable members of the raccoon family Other animals you might spot include tapirs then there are few better places to hike in the world than Costa Rica There are more than 500,000 species found here you'll probably going to arrive into the capital city of San José and it'll usually make sense to stay there for a night or two unless you're joining a group tour or heading off on an immediate adventure Booking a room in San José is much like booking for any other city When it comes to the more rural parts of Costa Rica we'd always recommend doing your research and trying to find community-owned accommodation that benefits local communities and work to preserve the nature surrounding them There are also some beautiful campsites in Costa Rica - and just getting out to them can be an adventurous hike - so if you have your route sorted it's worth doing some research to find out if there's any campsites in the nearby area you're sure to pass banana and pineapple farms lining the trails and so it has the ideal conditions needed to grow tropical fruits as well as a wide variety of vegetables and grains There is also a historic culture of fishing and farming here The country's cuisine has its base in elements of corn coriander and onions - and a great option for vegetarians chifrijo (fried pork with red beans) and olla de carne (beef stew) are also common where shops prepare a plate of mixed vegetables It's made differently by almost every shop By train: Atlántico railway station is the main train station in San José which is the capital city of Costa Rica and a great place to start your adventure The railway lines in Costa Rica are primarily commuter lines By plane: The gateway airport for Costa Rica is San José with direct flights available from countries far and wide including from Gatwick Airport in London and around the US An alternative option from the USA is to fly into the smaller Liberia airport By bus: Backpackers are well used to taking long-distance buses around the Americas and there are plenty passing through San José to San José takes around eight to nine hours The bus from San José to Panama City takes around 17 hours Inspired?

It was in the middle of 2012 that the last major roadworks to increase the capacity of the eastern Malaga motorway came to an end Work on the third lane started during a previous period of serious congestion although then the tailbacks were mainly a summer problem; the work ended two years behind schedule Neither has there been much improvement to public transport services in the area since then with little change to frequencies or capacities of buses connecting the commuter towns with the city is the population of the towns on the east side of Malaga According to figures from the national statistics institute (INE) between 2012 and 2022 the population in both municipalities grew by 15,000: Rincón has gained 9,353 residents (making the total 50,569); and Vélez This is an increase of 11% in just ten years The population growth has exceeded the margin gained by the construction of the third lane There are more figures: between 2015 and 2019 traffic on the east side of the city grew by 34.5% "This is three times the Spanish average and five times the limit set by the ministry of transport to warrant plans for new infrastructure," said veteran engineer José Alba contracted between 2017 and 2021 by Malaga city hall to draw up an initial study for a new outer ring road for the east side of the city "Malaga is a very special case in Spain as it is seeing a boom in population and economic growth and that is starting to take its toll on the local people who suffer longer traffic jams," said the engineer but growth has to go hand in hand with an increase in facilities." Population growth forecasts show Malaga as the second province with the greatest growth in Spain (after Madrid) meanwhile there are no plans from the ministry of transport to guarantee the mobility of the population continues to push these plans for a new ring road which at the time of the study became known as the Vía Perimetral "The study we did six years ago for the Vía Perimetral was sent to the ministry which ought to process and develop it which was built with limitations and is not up to the standard of the rest of the [A-7] Autovía del Mediterráneo," said De la Torre adding that forum events would be organised to promote the proposal Meanwhile the only work being carried out so far on this stretch of the A-7 motorway began last week and is part of a maintenance project to repair the road surface something the mayor of Rincón de la Victoria Rincón's mayor has made further proposals to the ministry including improvements to the slip roads used by traffic to join and exit the motorway "There are so many tailbacks at the junctions as the slip roads are too short," he said in just one year the average daily traffic flow has gone from 73,000 to 76,000 vehicles Salado has also offered to build roundabouts near the motorway junctions to improve traffic flow although he said the plans had not been accepted as they failed to comply with national roads legislation cheaper and frequent buses and with reasonable journey times to encourage people to leave their cars at home," said Salado who is also president of the Diputación provincial authority the responsibility of the Junta de Andalucía "Improvements have been made but they are obsolete and not adapted to the needs and the growth of the area around Malaga city," he said adding that a new contract should be put out to tender urgently said that the national government had to take action "Vélez-Málaga town hall has been calling for mobility improvements for some time," he said Joining Malaga's metropolitan transport consortium which unites most commuter towns around the city The mayor also mentioned the eastern Costa del Sol's long-term dream: for a coastal railway line that goes all the way from Nerja to Manilva Mayor of Torrox Óscar Medina also calls for the Vía Perimetral project to get off the ground People are suffering hours of delays and it's damaging the economy of the area," he said referring to the A-7 outer ring road on the west side of the city Comentar es una ventaja exclusiva para registrados Consulta aquí la información que te interesa sobre Bogotá sus localidades y la gestión de la Administración Distrital Bogotá es la ciudad de las oportunidades y las puertas abiertas Descúbrela a través de las historias y experiencias de sus habitantes El Plan de Ordenamiento Territorial-POT ‘Bogotá Reverdece 2022-2035’ es la hoja de ruta para reverdecer a Bogotá ¡Consúltalo Te contamos lo que necesitas saber si visitas Bogotá por primera vez Bogotá es una capital con una amplia oferta de actividades culturales gastronómicas para que disfrutes todo el año Asiste a esta charla y conoce algunos trabajos de Pop-Up que han sido creados por algunos miembros del Club de persona mayor Consulta aquí la oferta de planes que te ofrece el Distrito para hacer en Bogotá durante los 7 días de la semana Bogotá es la capital mundial de la bici y los domingos y festivos le rinde homenaje a la bicicleta con su emblemática ciclovía ¡Anímate a recorrerla!

Health facing a potential triple emergency due to earthquakes that list includes 14 schools with damages classified as “unsuitable or partially unsuitable,” the agency have not revised the document despite the fact that the hurricane season is underway Of the 319 shelters that the Government identified a week ago 73 are schools damaged from the earthquakes that require repair or shutting down areas or the damage is so severe that they must close permanently according to engineers hired by the Department of Education (DE In addition to the 14 schools in the south another 59 school shelters were classified “unsuitable” (red) or “partially suitable” (yellow) are located in 64 municipalities in Puerto Rico Rincón and Manatí would have to cast off shelters whose schools were classified red since it only has one unsuitable shelter included in the list Quebradillas and Salinas have limited space to shelter victims since those that the Department of Housing identified are only “partially suitable” for use According to the inspection report of the Manuel García Pérez school in Rincón structural elements such as beams and columns cracked in every classroom Popular Democratic Party Mayor Carlos López Bonilla believes “the DE has to repair that school We urgently need for that school to be repaired because we are basically left without shelters.” Although the municipal executive said community centers are an option he will ask for the certification of the Manuel González Melo school as a shelter which is classified as “suitable” in the post-earthquake inspection He also said he got permits to rehabilitate the Octavio Cumpiano School The Housing Department did not identify a school shelter in San Sebastián Its New Progressive Party Mayor Javier Jiménez Pérez recalled that the Manuel Méndez Liciaga (New High School) and the Patria Latorre [school] were certified for Hurricane María “but they’re not good because they don’t have a [power] plant and have problems with the water tanks.” Although this facility accommodates more than 1,000 people the distancing required by the coronavirus reduces its capacity He said about 275 residents from the municipality sought shelter after Hurricane María the Patria Latorre school was classified as “partially suitable.” “they opened the schools after a superficial inspection with companies contracted by AFI [acronym in Spanish for Infrastructure Financing Authority] that did not determine if they had the   short column deficiency or any other risks for students All of the schools need an assessment to determine their shortcomings to face an earthquake The Secretary of Education [Eligio Hernández Pérez] should be proactive during these months.” The short column is a type of inflexible support wall that could cause the collapse of the structure as a consequence of seismic movement personnel from the municipality of San Sebastián fixed four schools that had this defect: Maximiano Salas Despite what documents delivered by the Government show Public Housing Administrator William Rodríguez assured through his press spokesman that “the list of shelters was developed by an interagency committee that includes the Department of Education including schools suitable to be used as shelters The schools are moving forward with a repair plan giving priority to those that will be used as shelters.” all of the shelters identified are classified as “partially suitable,” according to inspections the engineers recommended demolishing the Margarita Rivera de Janer School after declaring it unsuitable insisted to the CPI that this school “has always been used as a primary shelter because it is close to the Emergency Management Center and the hospital We had already fixed the generator and the water tank It is suitable to be used as a hurricane shelter But I don’t want to combine the shelter inspection with the earthquake resistance inspection because a reevaluation has been requested.” A second inspection on February 6 of this year reclassified the Margarita Rivera de Janer School in Gurabo as “partially suitable” and recommended the closure of the theater room and another area where a roof eaves should be repaired “have too many improvements pending,” said the mayor  The president of the Association of Emergency Managers and Security Professionals (AMEPS said the certification of shelters falls on a group named by the Department of Housing which includes personnel from the municipal Emergency Management Office and the Office of the Ombudsman for People with Disabilities “That group inspects the facilities in use and that they meet the minimum requirements to house people in the event of atmospheric events That has been the practice for the past 30 years but it’s based on the premise that if schools are in use they must comply with structural safety aspects The Department of Housing must produce another type of inventory other than these schools to match the number of evacuees or available spaces required by the municipality to schools that were affected with partial structural damage from the earthquakes and have been re-inspected as shelters private centers such as convention centers which is an adequate space,” he added a person’s best option is to take shelter with family members because the risk [in a municipal shelter] is too high I have told the mayors to be ready to have a maximum of 30% to 35% of the evacuees they used to have in a school shelter tripling the number of spaces you need to have for the same number of evacuees,” said Lugo Burgos the Popular Democratic Party Mayor of Salinas expressed dismay at the lack of information from the government on managing the shelters I sent a letter to the Secretary of Housing because we’re concerned about how we will manage evacuees in light of the pandemic if they will pre-establish agreements with laboratories to perform rapid tests on evacuees [None of these points] has been addressed nor have we been trained [in the operation of the shelters],” the mayor said while assuring that the Department of Housing certified five shelters but only one The agency’s list only adds another shelter The Department of Housing sent a letter to the mayor saying that they updated their Emergency Shelter Operation Guide “to adjust it to COVID-19” and that the Department of Health (DS in Spanish) will coordinate the tests to detect the disease in the shelters Bonilla Colón said that the other three schools certified as shelters in Salinas are the Félix Garay the José Padín and the Román Baldorioty de Castro Only the first one was classified as “suitable.” while recalling that 700 citizens sheltered there after Hurricane María we’re going to have many more evacuees because we have to remember that half of the people who submitted aid requests to FEMA [Federal Emergency Management Agency] were rejected many people made temporary repairs pending the federal allocation from the CDBG-DR program but that’s in the application process [stage] three years after María,” Bonilla Colón said “I expect little from the central Government The main response falls on the mayors,” Jiménez Pérez warned Post-earthquake inspections of four schools included in the list of shelters are not available on the DE’s website Inés María Mendoza in Comerío and José Nevárez in Toa Baja With a limited ability at the shelters to avoid infection and despite FEMA’s recommendations to choose hotels or inns in times of pandemic the Department of Housing repeated its trend of designating schools as shelters     for this hurricane season The agency did not answer questions from the CPI on this matter Organizations such as the Youth Development Institute (IDJ, in Spanish), which developed a public policy guide in favor of the post-Maria generations also urges avoiding the use of schools as shelters since the resumption of classes is often delayed while victims are relocated the Bureau for Emergency and Disaster Management (NMEAD in Spanish) had not updated its hurricane season emergency plan tailored to the epidemic in Spanish) has not updated the operational plan that will regulate mass care during an emergency which would be ready and include data on COVID-19 upon the start of the hurricane season Para hacer que investigaciones como esta sigan siendo posibles
