Together with its sister city of El Paso, Texas, it comprises a single metropolitan area of more than two million people. This stretch of border is well-served by four bridges that connect the two countries. Ciudad Juarez is the most important manufacturing city in Mexico, and along with commerce, it makes up a fundamental part of the economy. This iconic city is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes and wildlife areas. Arriving in this prosperous border city you’ll find the vast white expanse of the Salamayuca Desert to the south and the imposing Rio Grande River to the north. Here you can also admire colonial buildings, such as the Guadalupe Mission, the beautiful city cathedral, and the monumental former customs building. In addition to being a great place to do business, Ciudad Juarez is also an excellent cultural and adventure tourism destination, thanks in large part to its close proximity to the desert. BUSINESS IN CIUDAD JUAREZ Hundreds of multinational corporations have established a presence in Ciudad Juarez to take advantage of easy access to the United States and a skilled labor market. Today, Japanese, U.S., and European companies are already part of the panorama of this city, which maintains high quality standards due to ongoing training and international certifications. Similarly, it acts as a research center for new materials and all the latest technology. Ciudad Juarez has an international airport with regular flights and connections to major cities in Mexico and the United States. This city has become an important destination for business travelers seeking to establish relationships with world-class companies located along the border. It offers excellent infrastructure, numerous hotels, vibrant nightlife, great restaurants, and wonderful attractions. 1 A BRIEF HISTORY The area that is now Ciudad Juarez was originally inhabited by indigenous semi-nomadic tribes, including the Sumas, Mansos, and Sumanos, whose culture made it possible for them to adapt to the harsh desert conditions. The Spanish arrived during the sixteenth century, and together with the Franciscan congregation, they founded the town called “Mision de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe de los Mansos del Paso del Norte,” with the aim of evangelizing the region. In the late sixteenth century, the city was called Villa del Paso del Norte and became the capital of New Mexico. It acquired its main historical significance between 1865 and 1866 when President Benito Juarez established it as the seat of the national government. In commemoration of that event, President Porfirio Diaz renamed it Ciudad Juarez. It wasn’t until after WWII that Ciudad Juarez took advantage of its close proximity to the most powerful country in the world to increase commerce and began to export industrial products. Today, manufacturing and business tourism are the city’s main economic drivers. 2 CIUDAD JUAREZ PROFILE Prime destination for international business. Numerous factories that manufacture all types of products. Four bridges connecting the city with the United States border. Excellent infrastructure for hosting events at hotels and convention centers. Climate with seasonal temperatures throughout the year. Opportunity to go shopping in the United States. Sporting and cultural activities. 3 CIUDAD JUAREZ ATTRACTIONS Ciudad Juarez is primarily a business destination, though it still offers numerous tourist attractions that travelers can take advantage of while staying in the city. In this city you can find everything from archeological sites, ecological parks, and white sand dunes, to historical monuments and buildings. There are also several attractions with important historical significance that you’ll want to visit during your stay in Ciudad Juarez. CATHEDRAL The beautiful city cathedral lights up the downtown area with its neoclassical style fluted towers and high ceilings made of regional and imported materials. At the beginning of the twentieth century the growth of the parish was such that the priest Baudelio Pelayo proposed the construction of a temple annex to the Guadalupe Mission. Construction of the cathedral began in 1935 and was completed in 1957, when it was converted into the headquarters of the Diocese of Ciudad Juarez. 4 GUADALUPE MISSION This beautiful building features strong adobe walls and beams carved with indigenous motifs. It is home to the lovely gilded wooden statues of “The Immaculate Conception” and “The Pain,” both of which were carved in Europe and are older than the mission itself. This mission was built along the border between Mexico and the United States. It was inaugurated in 1668 with a ceremony during which nearly 100 indigenous believers were married and baptized. SALAMAYUCA DESERT The stunning white sand dunes of the Salamayuca Desert ebb and flow at the will of the wind and create a unique visual crystal curtain effect when the moon is full. Hundreds of visitors come from the surrounding areas to appreciate the grandeur and beauty of this desert landscape. It’s located just 29 miles from Ciudad Juarez and makes a great destination for extreme sports enthusiasts, with activities like sandboarding and sand-biking. 5 PAQUIME This city has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to its unique architecture and its ancient commercial export of turquoise, shells, parrots, feathers, and polychrome pottery, which made it the most important archeological region in northern Mexico. It is located 176 miles from Ciudad Juarez and can be visited on one of the available tours. The site is made up of fascinating ruins of an almost unknown civilization that were abandoned in the late fifteenth century. Tall, thick adobe walls formed part of a long chain of interconnected rooms with T-shaped doors in what appears to be a huge labyrinth located in the middle of the desert. The structures in Paquime tower six or seven stories high, with walls and towers for protection and defense. BENITO JUAREZ MONUMENT This architectural jewel with its 8.2 ft. tall main statue was cast in Florence, Italy. It was inaugurated by President Porfirio Diaz in 1909, one year before the centenary celebration of Mexican Independence. White marble from Carrara, Italy, dark marble from Durango, and quarry stone from Chihuahua were all used in the construction of the monument, which honors the life and work of Don Benito Juarez Garcia. 6 REVOLUCION EN LA FRONTERA MUSEUM This museum, also known as the former Customs Building, has been the site of several of the country’s important historic events, including the resignation of Porfirio Diaz, and houses the office where Don Benito Juarez served for a year in the Mexican government. This beautiful building dates back to the nineteenth century and was inaugurated on September 10, 1889, as the border checkpoint between Mexico and the United States. This distinctively French-style building has red-brick walls and decorative features, such as columns, chandeliers, and elegant drapery. It features an exhibition depicting various stages of history in the region, such as the Conquest, the Viceroyalty, the Independence, the Paquime culture, the Reform, the Porfiriato, and the Mexican Revolution. ARCHEOLOGY MUSEUM The Archeology Museum is located in Chamizal Park and showcases various items from the country’s pre-Hispanic cultures. On display in the gardens are beautiful large-scale replicas of original works from distinct cultures throughout Mexico, including the Tula warriors, Aztec jaguars, Mayan masks, Olmec heads, and Mixtec reliefs. It also features temporary painting and sculpture exhibits. 7 CHAMIZAL PARK This lovely outdoor park has extensive green areas, a skating rink, open spaces for playing ball games, jogging paths, and a swimming area, as well as monuments and an archeological museum that show- cases Mexican culture. It sits on land that has been the subject of controversy for more than 100 years, ever since the Rio Grande River, which serves as the border between Mexico and United States, changed its course which resulted in the park ending up on the U.S. side. HERMANOS ESCOBAR CENTRAL PARK This park opened in 1967. It has an artificial lake where you can go for a boat ride, which is truly a luxury in this dry desert region. It’s also a great place for sports and outdoor recreational activities for all ages. 8 CIUDAD JUAREZ DINING The restaurants in Ciudad Juarez are a great place to spend a relaxing afternoon or conduct important business meetings. Fine dining restaurants, casual eateries, taverns, fast food places, and street food stalls can be found all over this city, and they all add something unique to the tastes, sights, and smells of the city. As a result of its climate, history, agriculture, and many other factors, the traditional cuisine of Ciudad Juarez is very similar to what you might find in the state of Chihuahua. It is based on products like corn, chili peppers, and meat, and influenced by local indigenous groups, such as the Tepehuanes, the Conchos, the Raramuris, and the Tobosos. Important dishes of Juarense cuisine include, carne asada (grilled meat), flour tortillas, burritos, and of course, Sunday barbecues, but there’s lots more that you should try when you visit Ciudad Juarez. BURRITOS This delicious Mexican dish is considered by many to be part of Tex-Mex culture, but it’s actually a traditional dish that originated in Ciudad Juarez. You can find it with avariety of fillings all wrapped in flour tortillas, which are only made in this region.

  • 47 Section 3 Maize (Zea Mays Subsp. Mays)
    SECTION 3 MAIZE (ZEA MAYS SUBSP. MAYS) 1. General Information Maize, or corn, is a member of the Maydeae tribe of the grass family, Poaceae. It is a robust monoecious annual plant, which requires the help of man to disperse its seeds for propagation and survival. Corn is the most efficient plant for capturing the energy of the sun and converting it into food, it has a great plasticity adapting to extreme and different conditions of humidity, sunlight, altitude, and temperature. It can only be crossed experimentally with the genus Tripsacum, however member species of its own genus (teosinte) easily hybridise with it under natural conditions. This document describes the particular condition of maize and its wild relatives, and the interactions between open-pollinated varieties and teosinte. It refers to the importance of preservation of native germplasm and it focuses on the singular conditions in its centre of origin and diversity. Several biological and socio-economic factors are considered important in the cultivation of maize and its diversity; therefore these are described as well. A. Use as a crop plant In industrialised countries maize is used for two purposes: 1) to feed animals, directly in the form of grain and forage or sold to the feed industry; and 2) as raw material for extractive industries. "In most industrialised countries, maize has little significance as human food" (Morris, 1998; Galinat, 1988; Shaw, 1988). In the European Union (EU) maize is used as feed as well as raw material for industrial products (Tsaftaris, 1995). Thus, maize breeders in the United States and the EU focus on agronomic traits for its use in the animal feed industry, and on a number of industrial traits such as: high fructose corn syrup, fuel alcohol, starch, glucose, and dextrose (Tsaftaris, 1995).

  • Mata Ortiz, Mexico, Is Changing, but Its Spirit Is Rooted in Ancient Ways
    ← Back to Original Article MEXICO Town shaped from clay The pottery that remade Mata Ortiz, Mexico, is changing, but its spirit is rooted in ancient ways January 13, 2013 By Alison DaRosa MATA ORTIZ, MEXICO — The place felt so familiar. The air was dry and warm and slightly smoky. Streets were unpaved, rutted, edged with weeds below ramshackle wooden fences. Swaybacked horses and muscled pickup trucks dueled for right of way on the dusty roads. I was invited almost immediately into the humble homes of extraordinary artists and encouraged to inspect pieces of delicate pottery displayed on oilcloth-covered kitchen tables or arranged on sagging beds. I looked over the shoulders of men and women who shaped, polished and painted at tiny sunlit work stations. I caressed their art, held their children. I embraced the artists' warmth, spirit, gentle humility and exquisite talent. They touched my soul. It was as though nothing in Mata Ortiz had changed, but after a few days I learned how much had changed. Pottery put Mata Ortiz on the map. This village, in the northern state of Chihuahua, sits on the edge of a high-desert plain that once was home to the thriving pre-Columbian Paquime culture. (For travel warnings on this area, go to travel .state.gov.) In the late 1950s and early '60s, as Paquime ruins were being excavated, impoverished residents learned there was a market for ancient pottery. Even simple pots were sold to local merchants for $5 or $6 apiece -- the equivalent of wages for several days' labor. When supplies eventually dwindled and a law prohibited the sale of antiquities, a few locals began making pots that merchants and Mexican traders passed off as the real thing.

FORMER EMPLOYEE CHARTED IN BEL AIR TACO BELL ROBBERY Police have charged an ex-employee in connection with a robbery last week at the Taco Bell restaurant in Bel Air during which three employees were locked in a freezer. David Joseph Furey, 25, of the 800 block of Pecan Court in Bel Air, was arrested and charged Thursday with armed robbery, second- and fourth-degree burglary, theft less than $1,000 and theft between $1,000 and $10,000. Around 6 a.m. on July 25, one of three employees in the restaurant on Route 1 in Bel Air Town Center, opened the back door to take out the trash when a man holding a baseball bat, later identified as Furey, motioned for the employee to go back inside, then allegedly motioned for all three employees to go into the restaurant's walk-in freezer, according to charging documents. Each employee was patted down, and Furey allegedly took a cell phone, wallet and iPod touch, according to the charging documents. Furey did not communicate other than by gestures and by typing messages on the iPod Touch he allegedly stole, according to charging documents.

When I heard a man was in town who was trying to save Mexican corn, I zipped over the border from San Diego, wondering what about Mexican corn could possibly need saving. I drove down the coast highway and ended up in the garage of an oceanfront luxury high-rise in Rosarito, where Mier is staying. Aer spending more than a week in northwest Mexico, meeting with chefs multiple times a day, he is surprisingly energetic, almost like it’s his rst day on the job. Mier is the founder of the Organización Tortilla de Maíz Mexicana, a mostly one-man activist organization focused on educating Mexicans about good tortillas. He hopes his eorts will save the country’s heirloom corn varieties from extinction. He travels around the country talking to rural-village farmers, big-name chefs, government ocials, and anyone else who might be wondering what is actually in the tortillas they’re eating.
