• There will be no Breathalyzers. The Ministry argues that it is to give the Jaliscan families some tranquility

The Operative Saving Lives will restart on December 26 and will continue during the celebrations of new year.

Contrary to the implementation objectives of the revisions for drunken drivers, the Ministry of Mobility decided not to apply the revision neither in Christmas nor Christmas Eve, even though it is of common knowledge that they are both days in which the consumption of alcoholic beverages increases .

The measure was not taken with the necessary discretion, but on the contrary, the head of the department, Mauricio Gudiño, decided to announce it in a press conference and also with a message through his Twitter account. He even sent an information bulletin to the media.“The days of December 24 and 25 there will not be any Breathalyzer operations so that the Jaliscan families can celebrate these dates peacefully, but there will be revisions on December 31, even though it is Tuesday”.

In this same informative bulletin, in which it is announced that there will not be Breathalyzer operations, the dangerousness of the season is noted.

“It is precisely during the month of December when the highest number of traffic accidents are registered, thus I invite everyone to exercise extreme caution so that the Jaliscans do not have to regret any incident”.

In contrast with this measure, the Ministry of Mobility of Jalisco and the Ministry of Public Security of Mexico City, yesterday reiterated through a communiqué, that the operation Drive without Alcohol, to detect intoxicated drivers, will apply the 24 hours of the day until January 6th of 2014, as it has been since December 16th in 20 points of the capital, in an itinerant way.

In the same press conference, Mauricio Gudiño reckoned the statistics left by the Breathalyzer operation from November 15th, when it initiated, to date:

“The total balance that we have is of 17 thousand 73 Breathalyzer tests, 296 people arrested and 122 fines (…) If the tendency of accidents is sustained, if it does not keep going down, we will implement more checks and we are also reviewing it for the rest of the state”.

He asks everyone to pay attention in the freeways

The Ministry of Mobility goes to work with the Ministry of Communications and Transport trying to prevent freeway accidents.

“We are going to work during this Christmas season with the SCT”, he commented. “They are applying a Breathalyzer operation for cargo and passenger vehicles”.

“We are going to make some operations jointly during these holidays, sharing the information with each other to prevent accidents, especially in the freeway exits with a great flow. We are going to do joint operations with the only purpose to save lives”.

The operations will be carried out, according to Mobility, mainly in the freeway exits like the freeway to Mexico, to Los Altos of Jalisco, to Chapala, as well as in the avenues that have foreign destinations like Lázaro Cárdenas, Vallarta, López Mateos and prolongación Alcalde.

If you're like me, the holidays are a time of joy, but they can also be hard on your emotions. This can impact your career. Here are 20 intelligent & inspirational tips worth reading and thinking about:

20 TIPS TO REGULATE YOUR EMOTIONS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON AND KEEP YOUR SPIRITS HIGH.

Self-esteem may seem like a cheesy, mushy topic best suited for Dr. Phil and the self-help aisle. But any successful business person will tell you that "with risk comes reward" -- and you are going to need CONFIDENCE and SELF-ESTEEM to take the calculated risks that will get you more success, more respect, more time to spend with your family, or whatever it is you want to achieve in life.

Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself.

If you're like most people, your self-esteem can go up and down. One day you might feel really great about yourself; unafraid to try anything. And the next day you're just as likely to feel completely down in the dumps, unsure of yourself, unmotivated, and afraid to act. Here are some ideas to consider.

1. Stop comparing yourself with other people.

Human beings can increase or decrease their sense of self-value by contrasting themselves either positively or negatively with others. But if you play the comparison game, you'll run into too many "opponents" you can't defeat. There will always be some people who have more than you and some who have less. So stop comparing! What's the point? It's about how you feel about yourself.

2. Stop the critic inside of you.

Some people have a bad habit of putting themselves down. They say negative things to themselves like, "I'm not good at this, I shouldn't try," or "There you go again, stupid!" Don't do this to yourself. Get in the new habit of catching yourself saying critical things about yourself and learn to silence your inner critic. If it's unavoidable, at least tone down the level of your criticism. Try to replace a negative thought with a positive thought.

3. Forgive and forget.

Don't waste your time and energy thinking of past hurts. Your time can be wisely spent for other productive things rather than negative thoughts about the past. Remember, you forgive for yourself, not for the other person. So forgive that person who has wronged you -- you are doing this FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT -- not theirs. Forgive them, and move on.

4. Associate with positive, supportive people.

Hang out with enthusiastic people. This way, you will get infected by their positive attitude. You will view the world in its full shining glory and move around oozing with energy. Stay away from negative people. When you are surrounded by negative people who constantly put you and your ideas down, your self-esteem is lowered. Zig Ziglar once said "You can't fly with the eagles if you continue to scratch with the turkeys." Cheesy, but true.

5. Get involved in work and activities you love.

It's hard to feel good about yourself if your days are spent doing work you hate! Self-esteem flourishes when you are engaged in work and activities that you enjoy and make you feel valuable. And even if you're not in a position to make immediate changes in your career, you can still devote some of your leisure time to constructive hobbies or activities that make you happy. What healthy things are in your life that make you happy? Do more of them!

6. Be true to yourself.

Live your own life -- not the life someone else decided is best for you. You will never gain your own respect and you will never feel good about yourself if you aren't leading the life you want to lead. So if you're still making decisions based on getting approval from friends and relatives, you aren't being true to yourself; and your self-esteem is lowered.

7. Talk affirmatively to others and yourself.

Words carry power that can hurt other people or yourself. Similarly, words can generate enough power to give warmth and comfort. So be conscious of your choice of words. Choose affirmative words when speaking with others. Be positive with other people. Be positive with yourself.

8. Quit blaming yourself for mistakes in the past.

There are many things in life that you can't control, so stop blaming yourself for negative outcomes. Instead, learn to honor your own efforts and give yourself proper credit for things that you have done right, and done well. Just the fact that you are spending time reading this email is a step in the right direction. Stop living your life in the rear-view mirror. MOVE FORWARD.

9. Make a long list of your personal breakthroughs and accomplishments.

Think of times when you did something that you thought you could never do, but you managed to pull it off successfully. Count even the small breakthroughs and accomplishments. These breakthroughs should be a source of pride! Make a long list of your own breakthroughs and read this list often. While reviewing your list, close your eyes and recreate the feelings of satisfaction and joy you experienced when you first attained each success. Make a list right now.

10. Make a list of your positive qualities.

Are you honest? Unselfish? Helpful? Creative? Hard-working? Be generous with yourself and write down at least 20 positive qualities. Don't think of the negatives; only list the positives. it's important to review this list often. Most people dwell on their inadequacies and then wonder why their life isn't working out. Start focusing on your positive traits! Stop beating yourself up.

11. Figure out the hidden strengths in your so-called weaknesses.

You can't develop high self-esteem if you constantly repeat negative comments about your skills and abilities. Remember that there is always a positive in every negative if you look hard enough. For instance, you may think of yourself as stubborn, but the flipside is that you're also persistent and dependable.

12. Rediscover and reaffirm your personal strengths.

Sometimes you have to take a new inventory of what you LIKE about your looks, smile, body, sexiness, health, personality, skills, and character strengths. Don't sell yourself short. It isn't wrong or egotistical to praise yourself. You are probably better than you think you are.

13. Ignore yourself.

Sometimes the real problem isn't self-esteem at all but a tendency toward overthinking, or thinking to much about yourself and your circumstances. When you get this feeling, just stop. Direct your focus to other things. Forget about yourself, and apply your energy to completing a task that will get your further towards your goals.

14. Accept all compliments with "Thank You."

Don't dismiss or ignore compliments. When you do this, you give yourself the message that you don't deserve compliments, or you are not worthy of praise. Of course you deserve praise. Accept compliments from other people, and respond with a simple "Thank You."

15. Start giving more.

Start to give more of yourself to those around you. When you do things for someone else, you are making a positive contribution and you begin to feel more valuable, which in turn lifts your spirits and raises your own self-esteem. So next time you see a downcast or downtrodden person, pick her up from the rut. Share with her the warmth of your helping hand and watch the glow in her eyes.

16. Be your own cheerleader.

Tell yourself "Go! You can do it!" This may sound a bit ridiculous, but it really goes a long way. When you accomplish a task, learn how to enjoy a few minutes of self-congratulations instead of jumping right into the next task as if nothing happened. Imagine yourself as your own cheerleader on the sidelines of the game, cheering you toward the goal, then celebrating when you reach it. Again, this isn't silly -- it's smart and contagious.

17. Start small and do a task you can accomplish easily.

There's no faster way to build self-esteem than crossing items off your "to-do" list. It always feels good to get something done. And it doesn't necessarily have to be a monumental accomplishment. The person who moves a mountain starts by moving small stones. Start small, and build your momentum.

18. Examine your pattern of highs and lows.

Perhaps you're just in a "praise starvation" mode. Maybe it's been too long since you got a compliment or got to do anything that someone noticed. Or perhaps you started the downward spiral when you said some bad things to someone. It's always good to remember that self-esteem is a mental construct. So examine your patterns, and remember that it's all in your mind. Force yourself back to the high-road of positive thoughts.

19. Get some exercise.

Even ten minutes on the treadmill will help. Exercise can decrease "stress hormones" like cortisol, and increase endorphins (your body's "feel-good" chemicals) giving your mood a natural boost. If you don't exercise, go for a walk while feeding your brain with positive thoughts. Break a sweat. You'll feel better afterward.

20. Take action!

When you take action -- regardless of the result -- you feel better about yourself. When you fail to move forward because of fear and anxiety, you'll be frustrated and unhappy; and you will undoubtedly deal a damaging blow to your self-esteem. So do something, and do something now. Take action!

Sincerely,

A factor that has not been sufficiently exploited by the tourist sector is the fact that Puerto Vallarta in the winter season, enjoys a better climate in comparison to other tourist destinations in the beaches of the country, in which it rains with some frequency or the temperatures are lower, both in the air and in the water of the sea, so said the meteorologist of the University Center of the Coast, Víctor Manuel Cornejo López.

In this sense he stressed that due to its geographic location, Puerto Vallarta in the winter “is excellent for tourism, for many it is the best season, because it is no longer so hot and neither does it rain, as occurs with frequency in places like Cancún and Veracruz; here it is better”.

He explained that with the arrival of the cold fronts there are constant climate changes in the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and in the Peninsula of Yucatán, affecting the beach destinations of those regions, including the ones of the Mexican Caribbean.

Cornejo López pointed out that the cold fronts generate “nortes”, that is, strong winds that blow along the Mexican coast of the Gulf of Mexico, during the winter.

In the case of Puerto Vallarta and in general in good part of the Mexican Pacific coast, the Western Sierra Madre and the Pacific Ocean work like shields, they keep the cold from arriving to this region; “if the Sierra wasn't there we would have single digit temperatures”.

In these days, he noted, the maximum temperatures have oscillated around 30 degrees Celsius and the minimum around 19 degrees, with a clear sky during a great part of the day, only a few clouds, but no rains.

In this context and to finalize he expressed that the superficial temperature of the sea in this region is 26 degrees Celsius, excellent for the aquatic activities, whereas in some coastal places of the Gulf of Mexico and of the Mexican Caribbean it is only 24 degrees Celsius, whereas in the southern part of the Peninsula of Baja California (Los Cabos and La Paz) it descends to 22 degrees in the sea and 16 degrees in the air.

• In the first stage of the tourism mega-project, 200 hotel rooms will be built

The government and the private enterprise work to ignite the tourist zone of Costalegre, Jalisco, with the construction of hotels, marinas and three golf fields.

The tourist zone of Costalegre, Jalisco, will receive investments of more than 300 million dollars starting next January, with the purpose of igniting the tourist flow to this region, informed the secretary of Tourism, Enrique Ramos Flores.

It is a series of 14 strategic projects for the next five years, in which in a first stage, 200 new hotel rooms will be opened, said the state civil servant.

The private investments will rise to more than 300 million dollars, whereas the public resources will include the enlargement of the federal freeway 200, as well as the construction of treatment plants and infrastructure.

Ramos Flores said that the state authorities will offer sufficient support to avoid disordered growth and so that the projects do not damage the environment.

According to the web page visitmexico.com, Costalegre is a tourist route of Jalisco that crosses the coasts of Navidad Bay, Tenacatita Bay, Careyes Coast, Majahuas and Cabo Corrientes.

It is a favorite destination for the tourists “who look to be in communion with nature without sacrificing comfort”. It has almost 100 kilometers of calm beaches and is located between the port of Manzanillo, in Colima, and Puerto Vallarta, in Jalisco, shows the website.

Ramos Flores detailed that the 14 projects establish the construction of hotels that will add one thousand 600 rooms, marinas and three golf fields.

The first stage in Costalegre is the development of the tourist project Zafiro.

Reduce protected areas in Guadalajara, posits Ramos

The secretary of Tourism points out that it is necessary to reduce the one thousand 700 protected acres of the downtown area of Guadalajara.

By way of comparison, he said that there are only 300 protected acres in the downtown area of Mexico City. The idea is to increase the population in Guadalajara, which has moved in recent years to neighboring municipalities, and to increase the flow of tourists that come for pleasure. Almost 75% of the visitors to the capital of Jalisco are tourists that attend congresses or conventions, pointed out Ramos Flores in an interview.

Patrols are lacking for public security

Part of the units are already in operation, but have not been delivered officially, furthermore not all of the officers have security helmets and uniforms to handle the 20 motorcycles and 10 ATVs

The patrols, ATVs, electrical skates and motorcycles are almost delivered.

Puerto Vallarta Jalisco News.- Qualification courses are still missing, helmets and uniforms for all, are details without consideration.

For now, part of the equipment, except for electrical skates and patrols, made a transport caravan from the delegation of Las Juntas, to the Fluvial Vallarta residential buildings, where installations of the commissariat of citizen security already exist.

Here, the morning of this Monday, officers of the corporation carried out training sessions for the civic, school and military parade in commemoration of November 20, day of the Mexican revolution.

In this exercise series, when they were coordinating actions of November 20, there were comments in the sense that no all the officers of the corporation have uniforms and security helmets.

Only those who participate in the parade will use them.

Meanwhile, in their caravan, all the motorcycles and ATVs, paraded after ten in the morning at the start of this week, but not all the drivers carried the security helmet.

Although they did carry lights, turrets and sirens at full power on the entry avenue, Francisco Medina.

When arriving to Fluvial Vallarta, they began to organize to do demonstrations of what they will finally present this November 20.

Exercises that they shared in that space with the firefighters and civil protection workers.

It should be noted that since the end of last year, the mayor, Ramon Guerrero, announced in the media, that this year, there would be an important support to the police station with the delivery of first class, imported equipment. This to save the integrity and guarantee the security of the citizens of Puerto Vallarta, however, at half of the month of November, the whole of the units have not been delivered.

Expressed in different excuses, mainly having to do with the provider, as well as with the lack of qualification courses, and the incomplete arrival of the equipment.

Before the nearby vacation season of the month of December, everything seems to indicate that the corporation will not be 100% ready with the security equipment.

Even when part of the units are already in operation in almost all of the city, they have not been delivered in a formal ceremony.

They are 10 electrical skates, 20 motorcycles and 10 ATVs, equipment that in its great majority gave way, together with the drivers, to the practices of the next civic and military parade.

They prevented the construction of a "walker" in the street Francisca Rodríguez, before the null results obtained by earlier projects

A group of residents and business people of the so called Puerto Vallarta's Romantic Zone argued against making the streets that exist in that area of the city and that are intended for vehicular traffic, for pedestrians.

In particular, residents and entrepreneurs-mostly merchants and tenants in the area-were against the "rehabilitation" of the street Francisca Rodriguez, project which involves the completion of a walker in the street, which is currently open to vehicular circulation.

The group disagreed with this project since last weekend and, in particular, neighbors and employers were against making one or more streets of the so called Romantic Zone for pedestrians.

Thus, they prevented the construction of a "walker" in the street Francisca Rodríguez, before the null results obtained by earlier projects and which have left little for the economic activity of this important area of the city.

Residents and merchants argued that making the road Diaz Ordaz for pedestrians, in the boardwalk, has served little or nothing to generate more tourist traffic for the benefit of businesses settled throughout this important tourist strip.

It should be recalled that the works were postponed in the streets of Morelos and Francisca Rodriguez, to the dissatisfaction of the residents and tenants of the center and Romantic Zone, after it had been foreseen that the works would start this Monday, but they were postponed indefinitely.

With this, it became possible to find alternatives to not lose the resources for such works, which, if they would be well considered, would come to benefit this tourist destination and would have the opposite effect if they were carried out in full season and at the end of the year, which-argued residents and businesses-would damage the economy of the tenants of both streets.

The postponement of the works was given before the opposition of the merchants in the Francisca Rodríguez street, in a meeting that took place Friday with city officials, who failed to overcome the resistance from tenants and neighbors.

The merchants agreed to negotiate something of what they claimed to be convinced of "we don't want the street to become pedestrian", since nearly twenty people expressed their rejection of the works to be scheduled at a time of the year in which they hope to recover from the financial setbacks caused by various causes.

Residents and merchants in the Romantic zone argued that while tourists arriving via airplane seek to walk in the streets, it is the local and national visitors who flock to the area with their vehicle and seek for a place to park to get into the restaurants and shops.

It should be noted that initially, the neighbors and tenants had agreed to mount guards to prevent the street from opening and have it occur as on the boardwalk of the city, which was worked on during the morning to avoid the confrontation from citizens; however, they received a commitment from the municipal authorities to not start work until reaching an agreement.

In spite of tropical storm “Sonia,” it took 13 days for Levy to paddle from Los Cabos to the Marina Riviera Nayarit, which he now considers his home.

 Self-propelled explorer Abraham Levy survived his “trial by fire” by crossing the 600 km between San José, Los Cabos, and the Marina Riviera Nayarit.

It took him 13 days and around 800 km to complete due to the strong winds and rain that came with tropical storm “Sonia.” It not only delayed arrival, but also put his life in danger.
“It was tough, I was scared and the days were pretty intense, but it’s all good,” said the athlete from Colima. “I’m back here safe and sound. I’m glad I got caught in that tropical storm, it was an important experience that taught me where I could take the vessel and how far I could go with it. They say a calm sea doesn’t make an expert sailor.”

Abraham paddled across the high seas from October 26th to November 8th, taking the next step in the plan he created several years ago when he finally decided to start making his dreams come true.

“When I was 26 I wanted to spend my life making my dream come true, which is the best thing that could happen to any human being. The human spirit is amazing and being out there you realize that it’s actually something tangible,” he stated. “I didn’t know until I looked for it with all my might: I found it during my first expedition and now it helps me reassert my possibilities.”

He also confirmed that navigating the Mexican Pacific is in the “major leagues.” Levy did meet his goal, never forgetting to repeatedly thank the Marina Riviera Nayarit and the Riviera Nayarit Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) for the support he received.

“I felt at home here from the minute I knocked on the door to talk to them about the project,” he enthused. “There wasn’t a second of doubt and their cooperation was instantaneous: ‘What can we do for you? You have our support.’ It was really grand.”

“It’s so great to find a development that’s open to supporting unique projects. It was incredible, because it’s not easy to find such unconditional support,” he added. “I come and go in the Marina, I bring in the boat and take it out whenever I want, everyone is looking out for me.”

“We have the largest and most modern marina in all of Latin America,” said Marc Murphy, Managing Director of the Riviera Nayarit CVB, “and people like Abraham Levy and Tania Elías Calles have placed us on the world stage. Their accomplishments help grow our destination.”

“La Cascarita” is ready to be sent to Spain to cross the Atlantic Ocean. It will be a 9,000 km journey that will take between four and six months, depending on the conditions. He will depart on January 9th on the Canary Islands route, then on to Barbados and Cancún to continue to make his dreams come true.

With a tradition of more than 30 years of Serving the Most Demanding Palates

Franklin Araque Roa Director of Food & Beverage in the Hotel Sheraton Bugambilias, commented to Vallarta Today, that the Bugambilias Sheraton Brunch is the most traditional of Puerto Vallarta.

Amerimed Hospital specialists are recognized by the foreign patient, as the best specialists qualified and prepared to receive patients local and foreigners, with preferential treatment friendly and warmth of care.

The option is a trust with federal participation by means of the National Bank for Construction, said the state executive

The governor of the state of Jalisco, Aristóteles Sandoval Díaz stated that the government investment is guaranteed in the Chalacatepec project.

The governor said that the option is a trust with federal participation through the National Bank for Construction.

The Chalacatepec Tourist development, located in the municipality of Tomatlán and which started in the past state administration with funds from the State Pension Institute and private investment, will be continued in the government of Sandoval Diaz but now it will legally guarantee the resources of the pensioners.

The governor explained that this guarantee shall be given by a trust fund in which the federal government is also involved and there will be complete transparency in its management.

Aristóteles Sandoval Díaz said at a press conference he gave in the municipality of Ahualulco de Mercado, that they are looking for alternatives and better conditions to ensure the goods and the benefits there is for the workers and the heritage of the state.

He said that, indeed, "what was always noted was there was a lack of transparency and clarity, ranging from the acquisition of the land itself to the allocation of the resource in the State Pension of the workers".

He explained that now the effort is reoriented "to take advantage of the benefits that may be affected with legal safeguards, with a lot of transparency, a lot of clarity, and above all, that it does not lead us towards a trap in a legal process in which in the short-term we would have no resources".

He said that at this point, the cost of the land acquired by the PAN government to carry out this development has already risen and the proposal is now a trust with Federal participation through Banobras, where there are major worldwide companies involved.

He noted that this will guarantee that the resource is safe, "the appeal will be able to have higher yields, but it should be handled with a lot of transparency, a lot of clarity, and I would ask the manager to give them accurate data, clarify the bet that is being made, and provide the mid and long term budget".

He reiterated that the investment made with money from state pensions would be fully guaranteed.

"It is a trust where there is the participation of the Federal Government and the private sector, and there is even close communication with the Government of Colima to trigger the development of this entire region, because tomorrow we will be able to have profitable and guaranteed resources, so that the worker has the security that his invested resources are there and will be legally shielded".

The governor assured that there is no longer a problem with the ejidatarios, who were initially opposed to this development.

“They have already assembled. There are conditions, for it is a request from the citizens themselves, from around Tomatlán and this region, because this would contribute to generate employment, development, investment, and we will always have to privilege the protection of our natural areas so that they are projects which can be compatible with the development of the area. In that sense the ejido has already come to a verdict and things are starting to work", he said.
