This is a big step in increasing accessibility to the remote islands.  Islas Marias is a small archipelago 58 miles off the coast of the Riviera Nayarit. The island chain has been mostly uninhabited, except for Isla Maria Madre, which until 2019 housed a prison. In 2010, the islands were designated as a Unesco biosphere reserve. Today, it's a prime spot for whale shark-watching and a breeding ground for seabirds, sharks and turtles.  Departures from Tepic to the islands will be from Wednesday to Sunday at 8 a.m. The trip takes 45 minutes, landing in Puerto Balleto on Isla Maria Madre. The cost of the trip will be about $420 per person and includes lodging on the island, as well as meals and tours. This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks.

Traveltime corrections follow the methodology presented in Núñez et al. (2016). The P-wave phase interpretation was completed with the bathymetry and topography data (Figures 3, 4) Record sections of the marine seismic stations recording the RTSIM02 seismic transect All of them have the bathymetry along with the RTSIM02 seismic profile in the upper panel The lower panel shows the vertical component of the corresponding station with a reduced velocity of 6 km/s (OBS01) and 8 km/s (OBS11 and OBS16) 4–10 Hz band-pass filter applied and interpreted reflected and refracted P-wave horizons indicated by different color dashed lines Record sections of the terrestrial seismic stations recording the RTSIM02 seismic transect Each panel shows the vertical component of the corresponding station with a reduced velocity of 8 km/s P-wave refracted and reflected phases were correlated to determine the different discontinuities in the crust and the uppermost mantle along the RTSIM02 profile The apparent velocities of refracted waves were determined for the generation of the initial velocity and depth distribution We identified five refracted phases [two within the sediments (PS1 one reflected phase in the lower crust (PLCP) one crust-mantle boundary reflection (PMP) and three reflections in the first layers of the upper mantle PM1 MCS data acquisition was carried out by a streamer of 5.85 km length (468 active channels, separated 12.5 m) deployed at 10 m depth. The common depth point (CDP) distance is 6.25 m, providing a CDP nominal fold of 58–59 traces. These data were sampled at 1 ms and recorded initially in SEG-D format. The technical parameters of the seismic source used in this study are shown in Table 1 The TS08 seismic line consisted of 3,445 shots with a total length of 172 km approximately The MCS data processing was carried out by Seismic Unix software (Cohen and Stockwell, 2013), applying the main stages and parameters shown in Table 2 we obtain our MCS images of the TS08 seismic profile Processing flow applied to the TS08 multichannel seismic profile using Seismic Unix The bathymetric data were acquired from a Kongsberg EM120 and Kongsberg EM710 multibeam echosounders mounted aboard the RRS James Cook sound velocity profiles in the water column were obtained daily and included during processing This structural trend changes to NW-SE along the IME Bathymetry map of the western Islas Marías region (A) Hypsometric map with interpreted surface lineaments (B) Bidirectional rose diagram of the structural features interpreted from bathymetry showing a N-S preferential tendency Black dotted lines represent the interpreted lineaments observed Data obtained with EM120 multibeam echosounder and processed with CARIS Hips and Sips (v.10.4) The TB has 1.0 s of TTWT of sedimentary thickness with its reflectors gently tilted to the NW and III indicated for a better interpretation Modeling of the RTSIM02 data produced a P-wave velocity model that constrains sedimentary, crustal, and uppermost mantle structures of the western region of Islas Marías to a depth of 60 km. The model origin was placed at the northwesternmost shot location of the seismic line, 29.3 km from the OBS01 (Figure 7) (A) Final RTSIM02 P-wave velocity model across the western region of Islas Marías (Mexico) Black inverted triangles depict land stations of the TsuJal RTSIM02 seismic profile Vertical and horizontal axes show depth below sea level and model position The colored area is the region where ray tracing provides the velocity values and the thick ones mark positions where rays are reflected The gray zone represents the area not crossed by rays (B) Ray tracing and velocity model with average velocities in km/s (C) Comparison between observed (vertical bars) and calculated (lines) travel times distances refer to the velocity model origin A 2 km-thick sedimentary sequence was imaged along the North Rivera Basin, composed of two layers whose velocity range varies from 2.5 km/s to 4.5 km/s top to bottom (Figure 7A) between the María and Magdalena ranges (40–50 km model distance) the sedimentary cover thickens from 2.0 to 4.6 km depth with similar velocities as the North Rivera Basin the seafloor deepens to ∼2.0 and 4.1 km while the sediment layers are thickened 1.5–2.6 km The TMB is characterized by a lateral velocity variation between 2.3 and 2.4 km/s at the top and 4.1–4.3 km/s at the bottom being the first sedimentary layer ∼3 km thick the Sierra de Cleofas divides the TMB from TB The TB presents two layers of sediments with P-wave velocities of 2.4-2-6 km/s and 4.0–4.2 km/s a thin layer is located under the sedimentary cover with P-wave velocities between 5.1 and 5.3 km/s and its lower limit would be associated with the acoustic basement observed in the TS08 profile This layer has a maximum thickness of 0.5 km in the north Rivera basin region approximately 1 km below the West Ranges (conjointly called the María In the Sierra de Cleofas and TB region up to the coastal zone this layer appears thickened with values of 2–2.5 km the thickness decreases to values to less than 1 km The lower crust is characterized as thin in the oceanic region showing a vertical gradient from 6.0–6.9 km/s with average thicknesses of 6 km and a cortical thickness between 7 and 9 km with a velocity contrast of 6.9–7.8 km/s the lower crust dips with an angle of 8°–9° where the Moho is located deeper than 15 km increasing in depth towards the coastal zone where it reaches 24 km Due to the spatial arrangement of land seismic stations in the profile it has not been possible to characterize continental Moho but a low-velocity layer associated with RP subduction was observed under JB we identified three seismic layers in the upper mantle with velocities increasing in depth reaching maximum values of 8.6 km/s at 60 km depth We used a total of 2,962 travel-time picks (A) Final RTSIM02 seismic velocity model after inverting wide-angle refractions and reflections with TOMO2D The black thick line shows the location of the Moho reflector and oblique dash black lines denote the region interpreted as extended and thinned continental crust (B) Final standard deviation values for the P-wave velocity values resulted from the statistical uncertainty analysis The uncertainty of our velocity model was determined by calculating the standard deviation of successful inversions of random velocity models. The result of inverting 100 Monte Carlo realizations is shown in Figure 8B the standard deviation obtained is less than 0.3 km/s which increases until 0.4 km/s close to Moho depth maximum values of standard deviation are less than 0.6 km/s The P wave velocity distribution and their standard deviation shown in Figure 8 clearly define the Moho Its depth varies between 9–11 km until the OBS11 increasing up to 25 km at the OBS16 in the Tres Marías Fault ours is able to characterize the uppermost part of the crust The lower crust gently dips to the SE until the Sierra de Cleofas with an angle of 8°–9° beneath the NW part of the Jalisco Block The faults bounding the Sierra de Cleofas are active since the seismicity is widespread around it (Figure 10) as well as the records from the seismic stations installed in María Madre and María Cleofas islands and azimuth coverage of the seismicity presents in the Islas Marías to determine the focal mechanisms and improve the tectonic evolution knowledge of the NW boundary of the Jalisco Block and its interaction with the Rivera Plate The new multidisciplinary data acquired in the west of the Islas Marías Archipelago have allowed us to establish the cortical architecture of the transition between the oceanic crust of the Rivera Plate and the extended and thinned continental crust These new ranges and basins are defined along the RTSIM02 and TS08 profiles obtained by the new bathymetric and OBS–land stations combined wide-angle and multichannel seismic data The basins to the north of the South Magdalena range contain sedimentary cover that records the faulted syn-rift deposits covered by a thin post-rift sedimentary layer The faults along the profile are active and inactive Inactive faults cross-cut the lowermost sedimentary layers of the basins along with the profile active faults are located at the northern limit of the South Magdalena range and the Sierra de Cleofas evidenced by the seismicity and the splay array of the sedimentary strata where we establish the beginning of the northernmost active subduction between the Rivera and North American plates the bottom of the crust dips from 8° to 9° This study contributes to the knowledge of the active tectonic structures in the Islas Marias Archipelago region with potential implications on geohazard identification and associated risks in this area

Many political organizing campaigns with messaging that has treated Latinos as a monolith But Latinos come from many different cultural backgrounds so a monolithic message does not speak to all Latinos aims straight at one group: Mexican Americans The organization launched earlier this year after the founders noticed that musical artists from South America and the Caribbean were doing get-out-the-vote efforts but few Mexican and Mexican American artists were doing the same “You really need to target that 43 out of that 63 million which are those of Mexican descent,” said Torres “Which is why you hear us talking about the Tucanes because this is the community that breathes and lives this music every single day other founders include his brother Euler,; Bridgette Gomez who manages nonprofit alliances; and consultant and public speaker Bacilia Angel is not the first get-out-the-vote campaign to use music or celebrities as a way to get people civically engaged In 2020, numerous groups put music at the center of get-out-the-vote campaigns including: Spotify’s “Play Your Part,” Voto Latino’s “En La Lucha,” and Sony Music’s “Your Voice While political scientists have debated how influential celebrity messages can be in influencing voting, many also note thatwithin 24 hours of Taylor Swift posting a Vote.gov link on Instagram406,000 people clicked the registration link a political strategist and professor of political communications at UC Berkeley and USC said Grita.Canta.Vota was doing something subtly different from some of these efforts because it was reaching Mexican Americans in an intergenerational context through music festivals enjoyed by the whole family “MTV reached out to young people independent of their families,” he said integrating politics into broader family and community involvement I feel like there’s a much greater likelihood for success because you’re not introducing politics as something separate and distinct and unique in an individual’s life but rather it’s a natural extension of the portions of their life.” is counting on the intergenerational settings that regional Mexican music creates Los Tigres Del Norte concerts you see very intergenerational crowds — parents bringing kids They are events that bring together families which are called Vota Paloozas,” says Euler Torres registering people to vote doesn’t always translate into votes being cast there is a participation gap: Latinos may be registered but that does not mean they cast the ballot That’s why the group is also partnering with artists to push out messages about the importance of voting The band Grupo Control released a song in May called “Grita Vota” that is getting airtime on regional Mexican music stations across the country Grita. Canta. Vota. is also airing a public service announcement on more than 240 radio stations across the country called “Hey, Dad, ” a son talks to his father about the importance of voting The latest set of public service announcements “Vota Con Botas (Vote with your boots)” was released Thursday Cowboy boots are commonly worn in the Mexican American community in everyday life but especially as part of a wearer’s “Sunday best.” The message of the PSA is that voting is an occasion worth putting your “botas” on for It is something that gives every individual that is a U.S This campaign is not over when the election ends — it will transition to Pertenecemos (We belong) where their efforts will turn to legal residents to help them complete the naturalization process It will be like the TurboTax of immigration Madrid says it has to go beyond registering voters: It must have a cultural impact The goal of campaigns should be focused on changing culture because it is downstream from politics [If] you try to change the politics [first] you’re not going to affect the culture,” says Madrid Las Marias, twin sisters from Nogales, will represent Arizona in NBC's "American Song Contest," an eight-week series that premiered Monday in which 56 artists from across the country will compete to see which act can win the vote for best hit song According to a bio on the competition's website twin sisters Maria Isabel and Maria Teresa moved to Nogales when their parents were deported to Mexico and began playing regional music They've since released five albums, the latest of which is last year's "Cuéntales," whose most popular track on Spotify, "Mi Enemigo el Amor," has been streamed more than 340,000 times.  Brought to you by the producers of the Eurovision Song Contest and “The Voice," "American Song Contest" is based on the worldwide phenomenon that is the Eurovision Song Contest Organized for 65 years by the European Broadcasting Union and watched by 200 million viewers annually Eurovision is meant to combine the competitive spirit of rooting for your favorite sports team with the joy of watching a live performance of an original song Some of the biggest pop stars in the world have competed in the Eurovision contest, including ABBA, Celine Dion, Julio Iglesias, Cliff Richard and Olivia Newton-John More music: After 20 years, these Phoenix rockers' 'great lost album' is finally available "American Song Contest" is hosted by Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson from the NBCUniversal lot The show consists of three rounds as the artists compete in a series of qualifying rounds followed by the semifinals and the grand final where one state or territory will emerge victorious Atlantic Records will serve as the exclusive music partner for the show and will release the original songs each week at 9 p.m The 56 artists competing represent the 50 states Jewel will represent Alaska with Macy Gray representing Ohio Sisqo representing Maryland and the Crystal Method representing Nevada.  If you tuned in to witness the series premiere then you already know Michael Bolton is repping Connecticut When will Las Marias appear on 'American Song Contest' 2022?The date of their debut on the show has not yet been announced "American Song Contest" airs from 8-10 p.m every Monday through the Grand Final scheduled for Monday There are several options for streaming "American Song Contest" — Hulu + Live TV Eleven to 12 acts compete each week with a jury of 56 industry professionals advancing one act and a combination of the jury vote and viewer vote advancing three acts. Thirty acts will move onto the semifinal round where the jury and viewers will vote on who advances to the Grand Final Viewers can vote up to 10 times per artist by visiting the website at asc.vote.nbc.com or by using the NBC App Voting for the qualifier rounds will open Monday nights and will close 4 a.m The participants advancing to the semifinals will be announced on the following week's episode The semifinals will air in two parts, April 25 and May 2 Each week, 10 acts that were voted through and an 11th act performing a “redemption” song (but not Bob Marley's 1980 hit) will compete.  the jury will advance its highest-rated contestant to the Grand Final with a mix of viewers votes and jury votes adding four other finalists to the mix The winner will be chosen by a combination of viewer votes and jury votes Reach the reporter at ed.masley@arizonarepublic.com or 602-444-4495.

Volume 9 - 2021 | https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2021.682206 The tectonic interaction between the Rivera and North American plates north of the Bahía de Banderas is poorly understood The nature of the crust and where the subduction ends in the western part of the Islas Marias Archipelago are still controversial Based on new geophysical data provided by the TsuJal project we present the shallow and deep crustal structure of the Rivera–North American plate contact zone along two seismic transects and the bathymetry obtained across the northern region of María Madre Island Detailed bathymetric analysis allowed mapping of a series of lineaments along the study region with two main preferred tendencies (020–050° and 290–320°) associated with the evolution of the Pacific-Rivera rise and the transform faults of the Gulf of California The shallow structure is characterized by five sedimentary basins without deformation suggesting that the sediment deposition occurred after the extension process ended The deep structure corresponds to a transition between oceanic crust (Rivera Plate) with an average thickness of ∼10 km to the Islas Marías Escarpment whose thickness increases toward the continent until it reaches 28 km The absence of an accretionary prism suggests that the subduction process of the Rivera Plate beneath the North American Plate to the north of Islas Marías has ceased we determined that the morphological expression of the northern limit of the Rivera Plate corresponds to the Islas Marías Escarpment No study on the scale required to precisely define the plate boundary had yet been undertaken mainly in its southern part since it is poorly defined causing its location to be unclear (dash line) Deployment map in the study area with seismic stations (green symbols) used to generate the P-wave velocity model of RTSIM02 seismic transect (black line) and multichannel seismic profile TS09b (red line) Red symbols depict those stations not used in this study During the active part of the TsuJal project, the British research vessel RRS James Cook collaborated in acquiring multidisciplinary data (multichannel, wide-angle seismic, multibeam bathymetry and gravity and magnetism) in the western coast of Jalisco and Nayarit states. Moreover, this vessel deployed and collected the ocean-bottom seismometers (OBSs) and provided the seismic sources for the seismic experiment (Table 1) Seismic source parameters used during the RTSIM01b wide-angle (WAS) and the TS09b multichannel seismic (MCS) data acquisition The JC098 cruise provided the bathymetric and multichannel seismic data (MCS) analyzed in this work measured in the northern region of the María Madre Island, perpendicular to the coastline (Figure 2) Two multibeam echosounder systems (Kongsberg EM120 and EM710) acquired the bathymetric data used in this study We also included the bathythermograph (XBT) probes and sound velocity profiles in the water column obtained daily during the data processing stage The MCS data were acquired by using a SASS Multichannel Sentinel Sercel® streamer of 5.85 km length (468 active channels, separated 12.5 m) deployed at 10 m depth. The common depth point (CDP) distance is 6.25 m, providing a CDP nominal fold of 58–59 traces. These data were recorded initially in SEG-D format and sampled at 1 ms. The technical parameters of the seismic source used in this study are shown in Table 1 The TS09b seismic line consisted of 2,305 shots with a total length of 115 km approximately Figure 3 shows the main steps of the processing stage, which was carried out by Seismic Unix software (Cohen and Stockwell, 2013). We carried out a traditional processing methodology to increase the horizontal and vertical resolution to obtain the best possible seismic image of the TS09b seismic profile. The sequence shown in Figure 3 includes the following steps: Pre-stacked signal calculations (eliminate aliasing Spherical corrections and predictive deconvolution for improving the resolution in time Velocity analysis by semblance method every 100 CDP Stack to increase the signal-to-noise ratio Phase shift migration with turning rays for increasing horizontal resolution and collapse diffractions Processing flow applied to the TS09b multichannel seismic profile using Seismic Unix The data processing included band-pass filtering and navigation data. Instrumental drift corrections, zero-phase band-pass filter (4–10 Hz), and travel time corrections were also applied (Núñez et al., 2016). Furthermore, topography and bathymetric data were included for P-wave phase determination (Figures 4, 5) which consisted of correlating reflected and refracted phases observed at the different crust and uppermost mantle discontinuities We calculated the apparent velocities from P-wave refracted phases used for initial velocity and depth modeling We identified five refracted phases [three within the sediments (PS1 and one within the uppermost mantle (Pn)] and four reflected phases [one intermediate-lower crust discontinuity (PLCP) and two reflections in the first layers of the upper mantle (PM1 and PM2)] Record sections of the marine seismic stations recording the RTSIM01b seismic transect All of them have the bathymetry along with the RTSIM01b seismic profile in the upper panel The lower panel shows the vertical component of the corresponding station with a reduced velocity of 6 km/s and interpreted reflected and refracted P-wave horizons indicated by different color dashed lines as marked Record sections of the terrestrial seismic stations recording the RTSIM01b seismic transect A total of 1,617 arrivals were manually picked, defining the seismic phases identified throughout changes in amplitude or frequency content with an average estimated picking error of 108 ms. The best 2D velocity and interface structure model that fits the previous WAS data was obtained using the Zelt and Smith (1992) software package Two main tendencies were obtained: 1) between 020 and 050° and 2) between 290 and 320° Both tendencies are spatially well defined The first one is located west and northwest of the archipelago The second trend is placed at the southwestern and west sides of the islands within the transitional or continental crust of the NAP In the west area of María Madre and María Magdalena islands the structural lineaments have an ENE–WSW trend which is oblique to the main trend from the adjacent areas Bathymetric map of the northern Islas Marías Archipelago (C) Rose diagram showing two preferential tendencies Data obtained with an EM120 multibeam echosounder and processed with CARIS Hips and Sips (v.10.4) the sedimentary horizons are subhorizontal on both sides of the horst The Islas Marías Basin corresponds to the largest basin identified along our MCS profile, extending between 45 and 77 km infilled by up to 1 s (twtt) of sediments. This basin is limited to the SW by the María Range and to the NE by the Islas Marías Escarpment (Figures 6, 7) located to the SE of the Tres Marías Fault crosscutting the lower part of the sedimentary infill Located to the northeast side of the Islas Marías Escarpment in the southernmost part of the East Nayarit Trough we find the deepest basin between 95 and 110 km (15 km) infilled by up to 1.5 s sediments bounded by the Oriental Nayarit Fault on the eastern edge of the trough The sedimentary horizons have a splay array toward the Oriental Nayarit Fault This feature is not observed in any other basins suggesting that the Oriental Nayarit Fault could be active The northeasternmost basin corresponds to the San Blas Trough with a 3-km width and 0.5 s (twtt) of thickness whose sedimentary horizons are subhorizontal The basement and the acoustic basement along the profile showed extensional deformation, indicating a horst and graben array (Figure 7) the sediment horizons are not deformed within the basins suggesting that the extension finished before the sedimentation started the splay array adjacent to the Oriental Nayarit Fault could be related to some activity along this fault neither have we detected the presence of an accretion prism The final P-wave velocity model corresponding to the wide-angle seismic profile RTSIM01b is an offshore–onshore transect of 240 km length, which characterizes the northern region of the Islas Marías Archipelago tectonically (Figure 8) The profile’s origin was located at 24 km between the OBS1 and the shot situated farther to the southwest We divide our model according to P-wave velocities in the upper crust and sedimentary cover (A) Final RTSIM01b P-wave velocity model across the septentrional region of Islas Marías Archipelago (Mexico) Black inverted triangles depict land stations and black circles the ocean-bottom seismometers (OBSs) of the TsuJal RTSIM01b seismic profile Layer boundaries are described by black lines we characterized two seismic layers with increasing velocity at a depth from 8.1–8.4 km/s down to 40 km we controlled by amplitudes using synthetic seismograms to get our final P-wave velocity model This model reproduces 1,592 of 1,617 (98%) of observed travel times throughout the entire length of the profile (240 km) We determined the arrival-time fit quality (χN2) for each interpreted phase with the following values for PS1 (0.4) and reflected P-phases observed in the mantle PM1 (1.1) and PM2 (0.8) Our final model is not far from the ideal case (χN2 =1) Along the TS09b profile (Figure 7), the identified structures are normal faults in a horst and graben array. Most of these faults are currently inactive, as suggested by the subhorizontal sedimentary horizons within the basins and troughs, and the lack of seismicity. Moreover, the normal faults truncate at the surface of the acoustic basement and do not extend into the sedimentary deposits of the basins (Figure 7B) The only structure that could have some extant seismic activity is the Oriental Nayarit Fault since the sediments have a splay array that becomes horizontal at the top No other fault seems to be active along the TS09b profile The analysis and interpretation of the study carried out in the northern region of the Islas Marías Archipelago provide new information about the structure and tectonics of the region where it is possible to establish that Rivera Plate subduction under the North American Plate has likely ceased or never took place at this location we determined that the morphological expression of the northern limit of the Rivera Plate is the Islas Marías Escarpment The average crustal thickness for the Rivera Plate is ∼10 km up to the Islas Marías Escarpment estimating a depth of Moho deeper than 13 km in the collision zone between both tectonic plates The crust of the North American Plate thickens from the Islas Marías Escarpment to the NE it has been possible to characterize five sedimentary basins without deformation associated with compressional movements where the absence of an accretionary prism is also relevant demonstrating there is no active subduction process in this region Sedimentary horizons in all basins are subhorizontal suggesting that they were deposited after extension in the area ended during the late Pliocene Only the Oriental Nayarit Fault could possibly support some seismic activity The

This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY). The use As the song’s final notes linger, the 29-year-old singer retreats into the portable body of water, sinking her head well below its surface. Muffling out her surroundings, she says she’s taken back to the exact moments of heartbreak that inspired the L.A.-based band’s latest project, “Submarine,” released in May. The record is an unambiguous look into the romantic breakup between the group’s founders, singer and lyricist Zardoya and Josh Conway, drummer and producer. Prior to creating the aquatic ethos of “Submarine,” the band was uncertain if they could make it past such a drastic change in dynamics. But with a dedication to vulnerability and their craft, the foursome — Zardoya, Conway, guitarist Jesse Perlman and keyboardist Edward James — were able to overcome this shift and create one of the summer’s most notorious breakup albums. “I had never seen that perspective of the stage before because I’m usually on it. I could see the guys below and I got super emotional and started crying a little bit. I was like, ‘Boys, like, we did it,’” said Zardoya. “It was such a beautiful moment because we overcame so much together and it feels like a family now. We’re stronger than ever.” But this unified feeling among the band didn’t happen overnight. Since 2015, Fuerza Regida has been one of the hardest-working acts in música Mexicana. With “Pero No Te Enamores,” the band’s eighth studio album, it’s evolving the genre. “I introduced him to so much Latin music. From just being around my family, the music and the culture, he picked up on things pretty quickly,” Zardoya said. “He knew that it was important for me to showcase this part of who I am. So when he started making this mix of reggaeton and indie psychedelic, things got really interesting.” They continued to carve their path in the alternative space with their Grammy-nominated debut album, “Cinema,” in 2021. Their mesmerizing infusion of soulful rock, dreamy pop and Latin rhythms has stayed consistent, yet still inventive over the band’s nine years together. They have even collaborated with fellow Latin musicians Bad Bunny, Young Miko and Tainy. “We’ve been listening to the Marías since we were young kids in junior high, and integrating Spanish into their genre means a lot to us,” said Andres Garcia, a longtime fan who attended the L.A. show. “I love how the Marías have still been able to stick to the indie genre while still being who they are. It’s something that I notice a lot of Latino indie artists are doing now.” Zardoya says writing the album was one of the most humbling experiences. After the seven-year relationship, she says she was forced to look at life differently. During those challenging moments of growth, she turned to Buddhism. “What’s changed the most with me is the beauty of embracing the present moment. Nothing lasts forever. The only thing that exists is right here, right now,” Zardoya says. “That’s helped me, even on tour, in the sense of just taking it one thing at a time and not seeing the big picture.” After focusing so much emotional labor into “Submarine,” Zardoya was under the impression that sharing it with the world might help her move on. But after performing its personal contents on tour, she finds herself “reliving a trauma” night after night. “It kind of depends on the night. Some nights I’m like, f— this. I’m tired of dreaming about this. I’m tired of thinking about this. I don’t wanna keep reliving this drama,” Zardoya said. “Then other times I’m like, ‘Thank God I went through it.’ It humbled me as a person. It made me more thankful for life and more tolerant of difficult experiences.” Walking a fine line between emotional exhaustion and being gracious, she’s accepted that the aftermath of her breakup will be longer than the typical person who isn’t in a band with their ex-boyfriend. As she retells the highs and lows of the relationship through the nightly set list, she’s faced with a decision. “I want to emit the emotion of these songs. And in order to get there, I have to reexperience what the song is about. It’s a choice,” says Zardoya. “I could choose to just sing the song and work on moving on from the situation. But I want to feel everything and I want the fans to feel it. Because what’s the point if you’re not?” Nearly 40 years after its theatrical release, ‘La Bamba’ is being remade, but the film’s original director and writer questions why rock ’n’ roll star Ritchie Valens’ life is being told, again. With only a few more stops in the U.S., the Marías will take the Submarine tour to Europe in late October. But the band still has plans for “Submarine,” Zardoya reveals that they will release a follow-up EP to the album. Some of the EP’s songs were written alongside the album while others were written after its release, but still belong to the same world. “I’d say you’re still feeling like you’re underwater, but even more solitude,” says Zardoya. “There’s no bangers.

inches of rain that inundated the region When the winds eased and it was safe to go outside what I saw was utter destruction: shattered houses tangles of fallen trees and electrical lines characterized by the greenery of its mountains There was absolutely no communication with other parts of Puerto Rico or the outside world My 75-year-old hospital is in the small town of Castañer whose 30,000 residents live nestled in the mountains of west-central Puerto Rico The hospital also serves the small towns of Adjuntas Nearly 2 feet of water flooded the first floor which the staff kept bailing out from the clinics The only other major damage was to the hospital’s wastewater treatment plant Castañer General Hospital had electricity throughout the storm and afterward — just days before Maria hit a new electric generator had been installed under the emergency room The hospital also had a steady supply of drinking water from its certified well we were able to care for the patients who were in the hospital when Maria struck as well as immediately provide care to patients as they began to arrive afterward with injuries sustained from the hurricane and from working to clear homes and open roads People with asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease began to trickle into the hospital so they could connect the machines that help them breathe more easily to electrical outlets in our clinic waiting area We provided oxygen tanks for oxygen-dependent patients We made the facility available for other patients who needed electricity a 55-year-old woman who suffered kidney failure would have died in the days after the storm had she not been able to reach the health center and its generator But we were able to provide her with lifesaving dialysis every day began to run out because there was no way to place orders or to get them delivered — we remained totally isolated from the rest of the shattered country giving local patients 10 days’ worth of medications while those who came from a distance got a month’s supply One patient in critical condition needed to be transferred to a tertiary health center in Ponce for specialized care that Castañer General Hospital isn’t equipped to provide Blocked and eroded roads and the inability to communicate with the hospital made this a terrifying challenge drove his four-wheel-drive Jeep ahead of the ambulance Community members who accompanied him used rods to lift downed wires blocking the road making it possible for the ambulance to pass What was typically a little more than a 45-minute journey took over two hours we didn’t know for sure if the tertiary hospital in Ponce would be open for business We also weren’t sure if it would accept the patient without prior notice For another patient who needed to be transferred to Ponce we used the police radio network to “call ahead.” We asked our local police station to transmit the information to their colleagues in the next town The message was then passed from town to town until it arrived at the police station in Ponce a police officer personally took our request for a patient transfer to the tertiary hospital Through this type of antiquated but effective referral system we discovered that two of the four hospitals in Ponce were not working at capacity and could not accept the patient One of two hospitals still operating agreed to accept the patient Our staff members were busy outside the hospital as well as inside of it They joined community members to start clearing roads and damaged homes and businesses and other tools contributed by the community A major problem we needed to solve was getting diesel fuel to keep the generators running at the hospital and one of its outlying clinics in Adjuntas We weren’t alone — long lines of desperate people waited at gas stations for diesel The only supermarket in Lares closed for lack of this fuel so the community had no place to buy groceries We were forced to shut down our hospital’s kitchen for 10 days Everyone got involved in the search for diesel — the chief operating officer We finally connected with a diesel transporter who had a 500-gallon truck that could reach Castañer This got us diesel for the hospital as well as for the supermarket and the bakeries of Castañer so they could stay open Volunteers from the hospital traveled to outlying town such as Indiera of Maricao and Rio Pietro to treat patients who had been cut off from health care by roads damaged by landslides and blocked by debris Our team often worked in buildings lit with lanterns Many of the people in our community are agriculture workers and working to clear the mess that Maria left behind They are also trying to recover from the hurricane They have limited or no electricity or drinking water People can’t buy food or anything else unless they have cash because without electricity the machines that process credit or debit card transactions aren’t working It is easy to develop post-traumatic stress, anxiety, or depression when seeing lost crops and devastated homes, and living with no money, no food, and little help. That’s why my colleagues and I are now focusing on mental health issues Our mental health team began that work five days after the hurricane and giving workshops to hospital employees During our struggle to stay open and recover from the hurricane including the Federal Emergency Management Agency an agency that is part of the Puerto Rico Police landed on the hospital heliport with five boxes of medication and about six boxes of food — enough to feed maybe 40 people — to be handed out to the community Also on the helicopter were the governor’s secretary and the director of the Puerto Rico Office of Management and Budget We informed them of the hospital’s precarious situation which has been a close collaborator with Castañer General Hospital on a number of projects to improve our community’s health by mid-October — a month after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico — FEMA I don’t know what the future will bring for Castañer General Hospital and the communities it serves I am proud of how my colleagues and the local citizens have pulled together and largely pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps And I am dismayed at the paltry response from municipal The hospital continues operating every day around the clock and we are slowly recovering almost entirely on our own The community is proud of its hospital — and for that we keep working is the chief medical officer of Castañer General Hospital a health center in rural west-central Puerto Rico To submit a correction request, please visit our Contact Us page Reporting from the frontiers of health and medicine Santiago Viale and Associates has completed ‘Las Marías House’, a residential project that winds around its pre-existing copious tree vegetation. As the plot is located in an area once determined as the green belt of Cordoba city in Argentina the design team sought to form a structure that preserves the surrounding nature thus achieving the least possible environmental impact they started the design by tracing the voids formed between the trees The lines of the building were conceived delimiting these potential spaces that either embrace the existing trunks or are pierced by them The resulting organic zones serve as social areas of the house while the rest private areas were developed as rectangular boxes to the north of the building.all images by Arch For ‘Las Marías House’, the Argentina-based architecture studio set as a priority the preservation of the existing trees they successfully managed to fulfill this requirement The resulting structure unfolds around several intermediate spaces that tie together the private and common spaces the architects succeed in optimal thermal conditions with the volume of vegetation functioning as the elemental solar protector.  All the private areas were placed in a north-facing block topped by concrete eaves that allow a maximum contribution of natural light during the winter and full protection in summer The design team applied further construction elements that adapt to the solar conditions These include skylights that take shape as extruded geometrical pieces letting plenty of natural light injected into the interior while reducing energy consumption Their bold form adds to the otherwise horizontal architectural language of the building they offer stunning views towards the blue sky a brick screening was installed on the facade facing the street serving as a filter for the strong afternoon sunlight All the private rooms are accommodated on the north side of the building the architects opted for a central courtyard that offers air circulation and visual communication between the different functions The slab on the back of the lot was extended developing a covered gallery that opens onto the rest of the property To achieve the desired thermal transmittance coefficient the architects added an extra layer with glass wool and a half-plaster wall on the interior side of the structure they opted for columns to support the entire system instead of having a continuous foundation that would cut the tree roots This concept automatically became part of the architectural language of the project ‘I have always related sustainability to common sense That is why I believe that sometimes with extremely simple actions avoiding therefore the use of astonishing devices or needless accessories.’the structure is supported on piles to avoid continuous foundations that could affect tree roots the big trunk pierce the organic concrete ceiling architects: Santiago Viale and Associates Jose Manuela Viale collaborators: Santiago Viale Beviglia construction completion year: 2022 constructed area: 380 sqm location: Cordoba Capital photography and videography: Arch.

The Islas Marías archipelago, a UNESCO world heritage site off the coast of Nayarit three years after it released its last inmates The Islas Marías archipelago is a UNESCO world heritage site and home to vibrant coral reefs mangrove forests and rare wildlife you won't see anywhere else like the Tres Marías raccoon and the Tres Marías cottontail rabbit The reserve is a prime spot for whale shark watching and is an important nesting and feeding site for large colonies of sea birds Mexico's 10 best beaches It sounds idyllic, an easy breezy place that has remained relatively untapped by human development. But the islands have a dark past. Often compared to Alcatraz or Robben Island When it opened in 1905 it held socialists and striking workers under the regime of Porfirio Díaz before keeping prisoners accused of petty theft and harder crimes Far from prying eyes (it's about a four-hour choppy boat journey from the Pacific coast) the prisoners held here were left to suffer in brutal conditions Mexico's president López Obrador said the prison was "famous for its cruelty" and claimed that prisoners human rights were violated. While, in an interview with the Associated Press last week former inmate Beatriz Maldonado spoke of the inhumane living conditions she endured describing a "a dirt-floored warehouse" where 500 women shared five bathrooms "We lived in a chicken coop," she said the island looks very different in its new chapter as a tourist destination In 2019 the government closed the prison and instead of abandoing it transformed parts of the existing buildings into a museum and cultural center named after the writer José Revueltas who was imprisoned there during the 1930s for his involvement in the Communist Party and who based the novel Walls of Water on his experience in Islas Marías The whitewashed church stands bright and welcoming And the prison buildings have been renovated so that visitors can stay here rather than further disrupting the land by building a new hotel "What was a hell is becoming a paradise," López Obrador said As an eco-friendly tourist hub, Islas Marías hopes to attract scuba-divers and nature-lovers with tours, hikes, bird-watching and arts programs. López Obrador said the island will be accessible to people of all budgets. "It shouldn’t be an island for the elite; we’re going to seek a balance," he told local media The navy will give tours, and will also run the express ferry service from Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco; San Blas, Nayarit and Mazatlán, Sinaloa. Islas Marías is expected to open to tourists by July 2022, if the hurricane season doesn't impact the schedule. the home’s design was conceived with the express intention of preserving all the trees that decorated the expanse of the site Aside from the obvious benefits to the natural environment resulting from this choice the retention of existing trees also created a buffer against heat by virtue of the canopy formed by the intersection of their foliage explains: "We could infer that this property would have belonged to the old house of a quintero - the owner of an extensive agricultural plot The position of the trees made it practically impossible to build a house without being forced to remove them priority was given to find existing spaces between the trees where the program of the house could be developed The lines of the building were drawn delineating these possible spaces and from this emerged the three separate rooms that make up the social area of the house.” Exhibiting a play of recess and relief through combinations of flushed and protruding brick assemblies these partitions allow a hint of transparency to sneak into the building’s streetside face the constant push and pull between rectilinear forms and curvilinear enclosures that wind around trees introduces an effortless dichotomy to the flow of space the single storey home also rests on a concrete plinth at ground level - rather than one dug into the ground Other considerations for climatically responsive design include a number of transition spaces that shield deeper areas of the plan from the elements As per the architects: "This house presents a variety of intermediate spaces since I have always considered it valuable to learn from our architectural heritage extracting these types of ideas from it due to the timeless nature of galleries and patios in colonial architecture work in a proven and efficient way in terms of the dialogue between exterior and interior." Directly beneath the existing tree canopy a low flat roof was implemented to top off the residence as well as sloped edges and a metallic drip edge a concrete perimeter channel slopes down to the street filled with gravel for excess rainwater to trickle into Protruding both vertically and at angles from the roofscape, a collection of cylindrical skylights in exposed concrete interject the predominantly geometric design vocabulary of the home, possessing almost 'Corbusian' characteristics in their form and proportions, reminiscent of the main chamber of Chandigarh's famed Palace of Assembly Santiago Viale Lescano mentions: “We also proposed skylights in several spaces which not only help to incorporate natural light inside reducing energy consumption; but also lend character to the architectural language both outside and inside." To conclude, Santiago Viale Lescano notes, “I have always related sustainable architecture to common sense That is why I believe that sometimes with extremely simple actions it is possible to be sustainable avoiding the use of astonishing devices or needless accessories We are used to hearing about 'intelligent architecture' or 'intelligent buildings' I prefer to talk about architecture that relies on common sense channelling intelligence from the mind of the designer." He adds “Appropriate application of knowledge together with the architect’s common sense and the correct use of all resources available - both natural and man-made - should be adequate to create spaces with identity as it is commonly said: architecture that does not excite is simply construction.” Jerry's work as a writer is fuelled by an innate desire to ascertain the driving forces behind exemplary architecture and design he directs this interest towards crafting riveting narratives that attempt to capture the essence of creative endeavours from all over the world From vernacular knowledge to modern sustainability Middle Eastern pavilions serve as living archives of architectural thought offering fresh frameworks for global adoption STIR engages with the curators of the Togo Oman and Qatar pavilions—debuting at the Venice Architecture Biennale 2025—on representation the book presents a fictional story depicting algorithms exercising control over humans and how this affects the built environment Tipnis shares how the toolbox democratises the practice of restoration via DIY resources to repair tangible urban heritage made of common building materials Exclusive preview for subscribers.

South Valley Care Center a nursing home where they were on the housekeeping staff announced Wednesday that two federal agencies are looking into their allegations who joined together as Las Marias Workers’ Committee filed claims with the National Labor Relations Board and Equal Employment and Opportunity Commission last month The immigrant rights group El Centro de Igualdad y Derechos is supporting them in understanding their rights and navigating the process The two allege the care center gave younger English-speaking employees preferential treatment — limiting their access to materials Behind a banner that read “Somos Esenciales” — or “we are essential” in English — referring to their designation as workers in the pandemic Nevarez described her experience working in the center’s laundry room “These discriminatory attitudes created a toxic work environment in which we were constantly yelled at and retaliated against with the constant threat of being fired,” Nevarez said through interpreter Marian Méndez-Cera of El Centro “This threat eventually became a reality.” While Perez had been hired only six months prior “This harassment has a profound emotional impact on both María Perez and me leading us to experience anxiety and panic attacks on various occasions,” Nevarez said through an interpreter Las Marias said the federal agencies have taken up their cases and are investigating The New Mexico Center on Law and Poverty is helping guide the pair in the filing process Attorney Felipe Guevara said if the EEOC finds discrimination took place employees can be entitled to lost wages or their jobs back and employers may have to undergo training to improve policies and practices “It really depends on what the individuals who made the charge would like to see in that situation to remedy the discrimination,” he said The South Valley Care Center and its owner Hunter Greene declined to comment on the allegations Urge lawmakers to protect this lifesaving funding now Across the heart of Puerto Rico runs the Cordillera Central a staggering mountain range that bore the force of Hurricane Maria In small mountain towns like Las Marias and Maricao many people rode out the storm with friends or relatives and it took days to cut through fallen trees and dig through the mud to see what was left of their homes There was no way to know what they would return home to: Some houses were missing a few roof panels; others were swallowed by eight feet of mud made longer by the bulldozers and army trucks struggling to clear the way long enough to answer the question that always follows devastation like this which isn’t when life “will return to normal,” but instead what normal has become Power and water will not return here for months many people are living with friends or relatives and struggling to repair the things Maria took But while it’s easy to be overwhelmed by what has been lost the story of these communities is in what Maria left behind:

the electronics manufacturing industry The May 2025 issue of SMT007 Magazine is packed with insights and expert perspectives that you won’t want to miss Has X-ray’s time finally come in electronics manufacturing where we answer this question and others to bring more efficiency to your bottom line If you’re going to Anaheim for IPC APEX EXPO 2025 consider this issue of SMT007 Magazine to be your golden ticket to planning the show vice president of standards and technology at IPC explains how the organization helps elevate the industry through its training Stephen Las Marias: What are the big challenges you are looking at that really need to be tackled for overall industry growth David Bergman: The most critical issue we are facing is the recruitment and retention of employees a growing skill gap between the knowledge and skill that our current workforce possesses and the knowledge and skills needed to compete in a global marketplace; rapidly evolving technology and the currently inefficient means of disseminating and swiftly training our workforce; lack of educational structures that support work and learn opportunities and rapid retraining; and lack of transfer of retiring professional’s knowledge base to young engineers Las Marias: What are the causes of these challenges Bergman: These challenges are created by a myriad of core issues in our industry is the lack of clearly defined career pathways and a structured training framework for the industry the industry will have trouble recruiting young talent that can easily decide on industries with “better” opportunities Without mechanisms for individuals to grow the industry has trouble maintaining the talent they currently employ No one wants to be working in the same job 10 years from now This also ties back to the first point of a lack of career pathways the lack of training and apprentice frameworks in the industry make it difficult to recruit and retain talent This also impacts other parts of the industry also The lack of this training infrastructure makes it difficult for companies to rapidly retrain employees for changing needs or the emergence of new technology Las Marias: Why is there a need for continuous training and education of the current workforce in the electronics assembly industry electronic products are continually changing manufacturing equipment is becoming more automated and requires technical repair skills and worldwide manufacturing requires communication skills Success in the electronics industry is largely determined by a company’s ability to meet industry needs The ability to rapidly and effectively retrain workers on new processes and methods Las Marias: How would you describe the skills gap right now in the electronics manufacturing industry Bergman: The skills gap is a chronic problem in the electronics manufacturing sector Most manufacturing companies have a hard time aligning the talent needed to run their businesses with the talent that is available to work locally As an association that represents thousands of member facilities across the global electronics industry supply chain members to gain insight into how the skills gap affects them The results indicate that most of our member companies have trouble finding applicants with the necessary experience and technical skills general assembler and hand solder experts are the most difficult to fill process and entry-level electrical engineers have been hardest to find Insufficient experience is the most common reason that applicants do not qualify for most positions the leading reason jobs went unfilled was that there were no applicants at all Respondents cite many essential skills that are in short supply but the most common ones are soldering for production jobs Two-thirds of our member companies reported they would expand their operations if they knew that finding qualified workers would be no problem finding solutions to the skills gap is a high priority if America wants to expand its manufacturing sector In response to mounting concern about the shortage of U.S workers with skills needed by electronics manufacturers IPC conducted a fast-facts study this April to learn more about the skills gap as it affects U.S Las Marias: How is IPC helping the industry address this issue reliable performance are all critical to success in the highly-competitive always evolving global electronics industry IPC training and certification programs are based on some of the most popular and critical IPC standards IPC also develops media products for use in

The new location will prompt new hires and is part of the revitalization efforts of a local structure Greenville-based Las Marias Mexican Restaurant has filed a liquor permit for a second location at the Piqua Center formerly known as the Miami Valley Centre Mall Las Marias is a family-style restaurant offering an extensive menu of Mexican cuisine combination plates and a variety of drinks and appetizers This marks the first business coming into the Piqua Center since the building got new owners between RCS Construction a Western Ohio ESOP company specializing in construction and real estate development and Caspian Group a Minnesota-based real estate investment company The goal of the Piqua Center is to revitalize the property through a major capital investment into tenant spaces including repairing and replacing all deferred maintenance and making the units affordable and accessible to the community specialty food courts and indoor markets are a focus of the partnership for the center — Las Marias expanding to the center fits into the overall vision of the owners For more on the project, visit the Dayton Business Journal.

From 1905 to 2019, these islands served as a prison, but thanks to a presidential decree announced on March 8th, 2019, the cultural and environmental transformation of this space began. The Comprehensive Project Islas Marías is made up of three elements: the protection and conservation of this archipelago to keep it as a Protected Natural Area; the installation of the Environmental and Cultural Education Center “Muros de Agua – José Revueltas;” and the opening of Isla María Madre to visitors. The Marías Islands were declared a Natural Protected Area (ANP) with the character of a biosphere reserve. Later, they were recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Within the ANP, the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP) has the mission of maintaining the environment balance, as well as promoting the restoration and protection of the area. The Ministry of Tourism will design a set of activities and experiences, so that visitors can enjoy and learn about the history of María Madre Island, while ensuring the proper conservation of flora and fauna. López Obrador, president of Mexico, clarified that transportation to the islands will be from Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco; San Blas, Nayarit and Mazatlán, Sinaloa.

California The San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors has approved a new ordinance that increases fines for unlawfully taking a Joshua tree. The Compton restaurant is one of five locations owned by Castellon’s wife’s family. The first, owned and operated by his father-in-law for more than 40 years, is on San Pedro Street in Los Angeles. Castellon and his wife’s parents are from Nayarit, a coastal state in Mexico known for its beaches, jungles, fishing villages and the Sierra Madre mountains. With the knowledge of seafood handed down by their families, the couple knew they wanted to own their own restaurant. With the help of Castellon’s father-in-law, the couple purchased their building on Rosecrans Avenue nine years ago. “The previous owners didn’t show the building any love,” Castellon said. It took the family a year to repair and renovate the space and make it a “nice and family-oriented” place where the community could sit down and enjoy mariscos or empanadas de camarón. “It’s been a true blessing since we opened up, and all the hard work has been slowly paying off,” Castellon said. He remembers planting the palm tree before it bloomed, to “add greenery around the building to make it look welcoming.” Castellon said they’re always looking to help or give back to the community. The restaurant hosts classic car shows in the summer and for the last three years has hosted a toy drive for local children. When he showed his employees the security footage, several said they’d seen the driver before — looking for bottles, cans or anything he could salvage. The family says anyone in need is welcome to come in for a meal. Just leave the plants alone.

They run the place six days a week, making it a true mom-and-pop business. Though the staffing decision has financial benefits—important for any restaurant in its early days—Montes said it’s all about quality control. “It’s too hard to find somebody to do the recipes the way that they need to be done,” she said. “Sometimes they want to make the recipes like they make in another place, or they say, ‘Oh, this way is more faster …’ She stopped cold and shook her finger in a chiding fashion. “No, no, no! Here it all has to be step-by-step and like the recipes say! These are our family recipes and we want them to have all the time they need.” We started our meal with the cuatro flautas ($12)—sumptuous shredded carnitas in cripsy rolled flour tortillas garnished with house-made salsa, sour cream, lettuce and cotija cheese—from the short list of appetizers. An excellent kickoff for the meal to come. My date ordered the Del Mar tacos ($16)—two battered fish and/or shrimp tacos (she chose one of each) topped with salsa Bandera and chipotle crema. (It’s usually garnished with a Mexican coleslaw but she’s allergic to cabbage, so Rios in the kitchen substituted it with fresh shredded lettuce.) Rather than a few small pieces of fish, the fish taco was filled with a thick, perfectly fried filet. I took a few bites and appreciated whatever kitchen wizardry gave it a distinctive, garlicky flavor. I opted for the poblano relleno ($17)—the namesake pepper stuffed full of cheese, battered in egg whites, and covered in a light and zesty tomato sauce. Chile relleno in any form is one of my favorite dishes in the world, and Tres Maria’s definitely competes with some of the best I’ve ever had. Here, as it is traditionally, it was accompanied by delicious sides of rice and beans. I’m also a big fan of mole sauce, and Montes brought out a small bit of chicken drenched in the savory slightly spicy sauce made with dark chocolate that whetted my appetite for my next visit. It wasn’t until after our meal that Montes said their Mole Tres Maria is listed first on the menu because it’s their house specialty. “It has more than 30 ingredients … all sorts of little pinches of this and that … and it takes us more than six hours to prepare,” she said. “At least two of those hours are doing this …” Montes stirred an imaginary pot with an imaginary spoon before feigning shoulder pain and laughing. Another family favorite, which Montes said she makes for birthday parties and other holiday celebrations, is pozole—a traditional pork soup—which the restaurant just began serving on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays through the winter months. Tres Maria’s is a bit more pricey than most other local Mexican cuisine options, but well worth it for a date night or a splurge. The atmosphere is comfortable and cozy, the service is incredibly warm, and the food is next level. I’m eager to make my way through the entire menu.

I comment We'll tell you the story behind the story discusses the biggest challenge their customers are facing—high reliability—and how using materials other than halogen can help address this issue She also talks about how a complete solder solution—including the paste flux and wire—help ensure the reliability of the electronics assembly can you please tell us first a little bit about Kester and what your company does Lynnette Colby: Kester is an electronic materials supplier that services the surface mount technology and semi-conductor industries Our main products lines are are solder paste We're the consumables that electronics companies use when they're building SMT boards and things like that We've been around for more than 100 years and we're part of ITW's electronics assembly group Las Marias: What are the biggest challenges your customers are facing Colby: Some of the things that we've been addressing lately have to do with high reliability What we've been hearing from the customers is that once they use our materials the residues and the parts of the products stay on the board They're concerned about what happens to them in high humidity or challenging environments with high SIR We have taken the challenge upon ourselves to create a series of products that we will put in a high-reliability portfolio We've done augmented testing on these which is above and beyond the IPC standards Las Marias: How do those product development strategies help your customers Colby: I think that it really does start with what we call “ITW customer back innovations.” We are testing some of the things that we heard were challenges for our customers We might run a special test even if it's not IPC Then we'll also use that to promote our products to other customers as well That's also directed our R&D in the field of looking for materials and looking for root cause analysis or problems that our customers have seen or we think they might see We might stay away from certain materials during our formulation that have been known to cause trouble Obviously there's legislation out there about halogens and moving toward halogen-free or even zero-halogen products I think that these help our customers feel more confident that the products are not going to fail in some kind of long-term situation such as something in your automobile that's exposed to high humidities based on where you drive or the conditions that it sees We run some of those tests so we know what's going to happen or not happen what are some of the latest product innovations happening in your company Colby: Our newest products have to do with high-reliability so I would say the innovative part is we're using different materials other than halogens so we get the same performance from the soldering material but they're inherently safer We also find that customers need products that go together If one of those components isn't working your high-reliability assembly could be compromised Las Marias: One of the trends that I'm seeing in the solder sector is they’re slowly removing the silver content in solder products Colby: I think that overall the industry is slow to change from tin-lead to lead-free products Everyone requires a lot of data to feel confident about what's going to happen in the industry What’s been happening in solar as well as in the SMT world is people are asking for lower silver Because we still want to have high-reliability we've been experimenting with lower silver alloys as well We offer K100LD alloy in bar and wire products which is a zero silver alloy Las Marias: Do they offer the same amount of performance as those with silver I think that silver is usually put in for some of the wetting properties and the solderability sometimes they put back in dopants or trace materials or other things that may be less expensive that will help It's not an apples-to-apples comparison yet Maybe some of them can take a slight performance tradeoff for the cost There are a lot of consumables that they know people will only use for a few years and that's a different discussion than perhaps automotive or medical Those companies might not even take a chance at using low silver because they know there is a tradeoff Las Marias: What are the biggest end applications segments that you are in right now Colby: I would say we cast ourselves into many segments in the SMT world Then it gets kind of industrial which can cover a lot I think any time you need a printed circuit board We focus on some of those areas that I mentioned Is there a different requirement in medical applications versus the other segments you cater to Colby: The customers that we've been working with have a lot of the same kind of high-reliability requirements that you might see in auto The conditions might be a little different—like applications which might end up in your body—but it’s more the long life of it or that it won't corrode with exposure to the environment I think that they've also been slow to adapt to lead-free and sometimes they get exemptions because we just don't have the data to make everyone feel comfortable that this isn't going to fail tin-lead products have been in the industry a long time There's more and more data every year that goes by on lead-free Las Marias: There are a lot of companies in the solder industry and a lot of competition how to do position Kester and to stay ahead of your competition Colby: Sometimes when you're making a capital equipment purchase in order to make your boards and things like that you might consider the solder paste or flux last and I know that ends up putting us in the commodity discussion which of course we don't like to call our products Kester strives to bring value to the customer by knowing their processes and understanding how our products are going to be used and bringing value that way especially with the help of our sister companies like Speedline and Vitronics Our response to high-reliability is working on products that are going to work in their systems for a long time We know that some of our competitors are doing the same thing They're also responding to that need in the industry But just by working really closely with the customers you're going to find the value-added solution and it's more than just buying the paste or flux; you're buying the technical service that Kester can bring Las Marias: Apart from working with your customers you also work with equipment suppliers We work with equipment suppliers so when we launch a new product we can give process variables that our product will work with We also understand that we work with all the big suppliers because we don't necessarily know who our customers will be working with we don't have anything that is co-developed because I think customers are also reluctant to buy a machine that will only work with a certain consumable We need to make sure that we can work in any of the environments Las Marias: What's your outlook for your industry There are different pockets of the industry growing a little bit faster Overall the electronics industry is growing at a market rate of 2–3% year over year Many companies try to diversify and move into different things so that's why we also have some of the solar fluxes and things like that Las Marias: Is there anything that we haven't talked about that you think we should be talking about Colby: There are different trends in the industry but at some point you also have to be selective and really focus on one to be good at it instead of trying to hit every trend I think that's why we saw high-reliability as something that we wanted to address and focus our R&D teams on We have papers on this subject that we presented at conferences that we encourage our customers to read and ask us questions about because we believe it solves their problems MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico will close its infamous Isla Marias prison the last island penal colony in a hemisphere once dotted with remote island jails like the one depicted in the movie "Papillon." President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Monday that Mexico will relocate about two-thirds of the 659 remaining inmates and free about 200 others from the islands 70 miles (110 kilometers) off the Pacific coast of Nayarit The four islands — only one of which is inhabited — will be turned into a cultural and environmental education center The prison founded in 1905 on Maria Madre passed through periods of infamous brutality When Panama closed its Isla Coiba penal colony in 2004 Isla Marias became the last one remaining in the Americas Lopez Obrador said the new Islas Marias cultural center will be named after Jose Revueltas a novelist who was imprisoned there and wrote the novel "Walls of Water." Far from the bloody reputation of places like Devil's Island — the French Guiana penal colony shuttered in 1946 — toward the end the Islas Marias had harbored many lower-risk or well-behaved inmates for whom the "prison without walls" was viewed as step toward release or rehabilitation Some prisoners were even allowed to live their families the islands suffered severe environmental degradation from over a century of use as a penal colony who served as from 2000 to 2004 as head of the environmental recovery program for the islands "It protected the three uninhabited islands but Maria Madre suffered a lot of environmental deterioration," said Ojeda Mestre Ojeda Mestre's battled to reforest the island with topical hardwoods which had been largely cut down to build the penal colony and furnish it He also battle to rid the uninhabited islands of invasive because they (inmates) would kill them to make belts out of their skins," he recalled (That was one of the many cottage industries that sprang up: inmates also fermented fruit for home-made alcoholic beverages.) Also at risk due to the penal colony was the yellow-headed "Tres Marias" parrot found nowhere else "The inmates captured the parrots to sell them," he said "Their relatives would smuggle them out clandestinely" when they came for visits and sell the birds on the mainland Ojeda Mestre's battle was part of an early effort to turn the penal colony into a nature reserve but that plan fell victim in 2005 to what later became known as Mexico's War on Drugs; the government argued it needed more the 12-hour boat rides that relatives had to endure in order to visit inmates was "cruel," Ojeda Mestre said calling the decision to close the prison "an extraordinary piece of news that should be celebrated throughout the Americas." the hemisphere began turning its back on the isolated prisons decades ago Chile closed its Santa Maria prison island in the late 1980s Costa Rica's Isla San Lucas penal colony closed in 1991 and Brazil's Isla Grande in 1994 Peru dramatically ended its El Fronton island prison in 1986: Gunboats blew up most of the buildings to put down a riot Island penal colonies were used around the world starting in the 1700s as remote escape-proof places to "rehabilitate" inmates through hard labor Most also tried to be self-supporting and to help settle remote territories Mexico's federal prisons are nowhere near capacity making closure of the island prison more palatable The government said it costs about $150 a day to house each inmate at Isla Marias The islands are also routinely battered by hurricanes the last of which caused about $150 million in damage to the prison facilities The last other such prison in the Americas was closed in 2005 and turned into to a nature reserve The jungle is slowly swallowing the buildings providing a glimpse of what will happen at the Islas Marias British Customs interviews the President of Las Marias MC Many products featured on this site were editorially chosen Motorcycle Cruiser may receive financial compensation for products purchased through this site Copyright © 2025 Motorcycle Cruiser.

to an island prison colony is undergoing final preparations to become a tourist destination even getting to Islas Marias takes a four-hour boat ride But Mexico’s government plans to make things easier the latest function given Mexico’s armed forces by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador Beatriz Maldonado already is imagining the voyage She once was imprisoned between those “walls of water” — as a Mexican writer also confined there described it Maldonado spent one year there of her six-year sentence for drug and weapons possession Now 55 and a laundry worker and activist advocating for imprisoned women The Islas Marias prison colony opened in 1905 on Mother María Island the biggest of the four Marias islands and the only inhabited one more than 60 miles off the coast of Nayarit state and López Obrador had it converted into an environmental education center the government is aiming to make it an ecotourism destination where people can watch sea birds enjoy the beaches and learn about its history López Obrador has announced the island’s airport will expanded and ferries will be added that can make the trip in two and a half hours Visitors will stay in the houses tht once housed prisoners or prison workers They’re being rebuilt to avoid having to put up new buildings work that could damage the archipelago’s nature reserve Some wonder whether Islas Marías might one day a tourist draw like Alcatraz or a place like the Panamanian island prison colony Coiba closed in 2004 and now being reclaimed by the jungle Though the government has been criticized for giving many functions to the military from construction work or oversight of plant nurseries to controlling Mexico City’s new airport Maldonado sees nothing wrong with the navy taking charge of tourism The island no longer is anything like the dirt-floored warehouse-like prison dorms with five bathrooms for 500 women that Maldonado remembers A mural of former South African leader Nelson Mandela who was held for years in an island prison a whitewashed church and a museum featuring writer José Revueltas who was imprisoned there during the 1930s for his work in the Communist Party “What was a hell is becoming a paradise,” López Obrador said There was a time it was considered the “tomb of the Pacific.” A picture of Mexican writer José Revueltas hangs in the museum at the infamous Islas Marias prison colony where he was imprisoned during the 1930s for his work in the Communist Party In his book “Walls of Water,” Revueltas wrote that the prison was more terrible than he could describe immortalized in the movie “Papillon,” was closed in 1946 Prisoners on Mother María Island had to harvest salt and farm shrimp They tried to make a little money brewing their alcohol from fermented fruits illegally trading exotic birds or killing boa constrictors to make belts some prisoners lived with their families in semi-freedom That changed when former President Felipe Calderon launched the war on drug cartels in 2006 when women weren’t allowed outside the fences even though they had skills when prisoners were allowed a 10-minute call with a relative “The boats came on Thursdays to bring us supplies and letters and I saw the tears of my mother on the stained pages,” Maldonado said A year after Maldonado was transferred to a prison in Mexico City six people died on the island in a riot over a lack of food The island prison was shut down in 2019 because of its high costs: about $150 a day per prisoner prison reform had significantly reduced its inmate population Terms of Use •
