FACTS ABOUT BAJA CALIFORNIA Baja California is a peninsula located in Northwestern Mexico, between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez. Since time immemorial, it has been a pathway for the Cucapá, Kumiai, Kiliwa, Pai Pai and Cochimí indigenous groups, which have bequeathed us their ancestral wisdom through their cosmogonic myths and their worldwide known cave paintings. The European explorers arrived to the region in the XV century. Among them were Jesuit, Franciscan, and Dominican missionaries; “gambusinos” seeking fortune, engineers and prospectors that delimited their land; and pioneers from all over the world that transformed an unexplored deserted territory into a defying challenge project of life. Baja California, located to the north of the peninsula, is nowadays an entity that collides with the United States of America, strategically, with the State of California. Our entity is vibrant in the diversity of its people: Mexican, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Jewish, Spaniard, Italian, Latin American, English and Korean, among others. This widely diverse community joined efforts to build a dynamic and progressive entity, which is socially, culturally, politically and economically developed at a national level. Baja California is formed by five Municipalities, each of them with Its own particular characteristics. Ensenada is a port and a city of maritime sciences, natural sciences and exact sciences research, with entire valleys that practice viticulture and enology in a Mediterranean weather. Mexicali, as the capital of the State and home to its three powers of government, was a technified agricultural valley in the middle of the dessert. Nowadays, it is an industrial first-rate city, which generates electric energy for exportation. Rosarito is known for its beautiful beaches, and also for being home to the Fox Film Studios, where movies like Titanic and Pearl Harbor were filmed. Tecate is a mountain village famous for being the city where the beer crafting company of the same name is located. It is the municipality where La Rumorosa reaches its higher mountain range, and was recently acknowledge as “Magic Town” by the Ministry of Tourism of Mexico. Tijuana is a culturally developed city with the highest cross-border flow in the entire world, and constitutes a bilateral sum of efforts with the Port of San Diego.

Constellation Brands: Activists demand WATER RIGHTS and FREEDOM Water rights activists threatened with false legal accusations for protesting U.S. based multinational Alcohol Corporation, Constellation Brands MEXICALI, BAJA CALIFORNIA (July 8, 2021) Mexicali Resiste, Water Rights Activists, will attend a court hearing for charges of “deprivation of liberty” of police and “dispossession” of the state building in connection with their involvement in protests against Constellation Brands in 2017. In 2017 the office of the State Attorney of Baja California determined that the current accusations did not deem criminal proceedings. However, the current congress of the state of Baja California has suddenly decided to reopen the case file and has scheduled a court hearing for July 8th, rescinding the previous resolution and once again presenting accusations against the water rights activists for protesting against corporate corruption and injustice. This comes as no surprise after Leon Fierro, one of the activists was wrongfully accused in 2018 of “attempted murder” against police, for participating in a protest and 20 days later freed after it as determined that there was no proof. Constellation Brands continues to threaten with privatizing local water in Baja California, Mexico, Mexicali Resiste fights back!

  • Institutional Capacity and Performance in Water Utilities in the North of Mexico

    Institutional Capacity and Performance in Water Utilities in the North of Mexico

    Institutional capacity and performance in water utilities in the North of Mexico Alejandro Salazar Adams (El Colegio de Sonora) Edmundo Loera Burnes (Sonora state government) Noemi Haro Velarde (El Colegio de Sonora) Abstract The purpose of this study is to show the link between institutional capacity and performance in three water utilities in the north of Mexico (Hermosillo, Mexicali, and Saltillo). These utilities have similar weather, population, and economic development level, but they also have different outcome performance. These utilities also have different institutional frameworks: Hermosillo is a municipality owned utility, Mexicali is a state owned utility, and Saltillo is a public private partnership (PPP). The influence of these configurations on the institutional capacity is addressed by analyzing the political and institutional context of these utilities; their legal, technological and financial resources; and their human resources management. Introduction Urban water in Mexico has reached coverage levels higher than 90% in the last decades (Salazar and Lutz, 2016). However, water utilities in Mexico still have problems of high water loss levels, low cost recovery and lack of financial sustainability, which renders the operation of these utilities unsustainable in the long run. And despite of having a high percentage of urban dwellings connected to the water network, many cities cannot still provide a constant supply of water. Millions of pesos have been poured into new water infrastructure and programs directed towards improving the efficiency of water utilities, however, the average Mexican utility has a unaccounted for water of nearly 50%. These problems pose a threat to cities in the north of the country, where the arid climate constraints the supply of water and boosts the demand for it.
  • Mexican Marks

    Mexican Marks

    Mexican Marks Bill Lockhart, Beau Schriever, Bill Lindsey, Bob Brown, and Carol Serr Information on Mexican glass factories and manufacturer’s marks has been generally spotty. Mostly, those few researchers who addressed the subject only examined a small part of the picture. This study is an attempt to integrate the existing literature into a single, reasonably comprehensive synthesis of the glass history and manufacturer’s marks. The History of Mexican Glass – Prior to the 20th Century Rodrigo Espinosa crossed the ocean to form a glass factory on Calle del Venado (Deer St.) at Puebla, New Spain (later Mexico), in 1547. Espinosa’s plant was known for its high quality flasks, bottles, and glasses, which it exported as far as Guatemala and Peru. The factory continued in production until sometime between 1712 and 1723. The firm had virtually no competition until Antonio Prado built a factory in the same city. By this time, demand for containers had increased, and both plants were pushed to capacity to fill their orders (Díaz Cruz and Mas Escoto 1952:8-10; López & Martínez 2008). After an initial attempt at Puebla, Camilo Ávalos Razo opened a small factory in 1889 near La Merced, the best known shopping district in Mexico City. Camilo was the first glassmaker of Mexican origin, and his plant became very successful. His descendants diversified the product line, and one opened a factory at Guadalajara to serve the various tequila plants in the area (López & Martínez 2008). We have not discovered how long any of these works survived. Much of the glass imported by Mexico prior to the 20th century was from Germany, although the United States became a major exporter to our neighbor by 1910.

This work estimated dust emission flux (E) between 1979 and 2014 from two desert regions in the Baja California Peninsula (BCP) using a modified dust parameterization scheme. Subsequently, we evaluated the processes controlling the variability of E at intra- and interannual scales. During the period 1979–2014 peak E were generally recorded in summer (San Felipe) and spring (Vizcaino), and the lowest emissions occurred in autumn (San Felipe) and winter (Vizcaíno).

    NEWS RELEASE OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA San Diego, California United States Attorney Laura E. Duffy For Further Information, Contact: Assistant U. S. Attorney Timothy C. Perry (619) 546-7966 For Immediate Release President of San Diego Customs Brokers Association Pleads Guilty to Overseeing $100 Million Customs Fraud NEWS RELEASE SUMMARY - November 15, 2012 United States Attorney Laura E. Duffy announced that Gerardo Chavez pled guilty today in federal court before United States Magistrate Judge Karen E. Crawford to overseeing a wide-ranging conspiracy to import Chinese and other foreign-manufactured goods into the United States without paying import taxes (also referred to as Customs duties). According to court documents, Chavez=s scheme focused on purchasing large, commercial quantities of foreign-made goods and importing them without paying Customs duties. Wholesalers in the United States would procure commercial shipments of, among other things, Chinese-made apparel and Indian-made cigarettes, and arrange for them to be shipped by ocean container to the Port of Long Beach, California. Before the goods entered the United States, conspirators acting at Chavez=s direction would prepare paperwork and database entries indicating that the goods were not intended to enter the commerce of the United States, but instead would be Atransshipped@ Ain-bond@ to another country, such as Mexico. This in-bond process is a routine feature of international trade. Goods that travel in-bond through the territory of the United States do not formally enter the commerce of the United States, and so are not subject to Customs duties.

    Rethinking Mexico and Its Ties to Silicon Valley Neighboring Nation’S Young Venture Capital Industry Is Growing Rapidly

    Opinion: Rethinking Mexico and its ties to Silicon Valley Neighboring nation’s young venture capital industry is growing rapidly Sean Randolph – July 3, 2021 When Americans think about Mexico many things may come to mind — immigration, cartels or perhaps beaches. Technology and innovation are probably not on that list but reflect that a new reality is taking hold across Mexico — led by investors, entrepreneurs and leaders in states and cities — that is moving Mexico onto the map of U.S. technology and innovation partners. In this transformation, Silicon Valley’s role looms large. Here’s why. Mexico’s young venture capital industry is growing rapidly. From $55 million in 2010, annual investment has grown to more than $1 billion. Softbank’s $5 billion Innovation Fund, created several years ago to invest in Latin America, was a turning point that put Mexico on the global venture map. Now the country boasts unicorns and fast-growing startups. More are on the way, supported by universities, accelerators and by large tech and startup conferences such as Talent Land in Guadalajara and INCmty on Monterrey. This activity is concentrated in a number of states and cities that are strengthening their base in R&D and are working hard to build local innovation systems. The most noteworthy are Tijuana, Juarez, Monterrey, Mexico City and Guadalajara, as well as Merida (in Yucatan) and states in the central El Bajio region. Each has distinct features: • Mexico City, home to the national government, top universities, leading companies and most of its venture capital industry is building its digital capacity and benefits from sheer size.

    Tecate and Calexico Border Infrastructure Projects Request For

    May 14, 2019 RE: Tecate and Calexico Primary Fence Replacement Projects To Whom It May Concern: The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is seeking your input concerning the replacement of the legacy primary pedestrian fence with a bollard style wall on the east and west sides of the Tecate and Calexico Ports of Entry in California. The preliminary locations for the replacement and construction of bollard wall are shown in Figures 1 and 2 below. CBP proposes to: (1) remove and replace approximately 15 miles of existing pedestrian fence with a bollard wall along the international border near the communities of Tecate and Calexico, California. The existing fence is outdated and will be replaced with a 30-foot bollard wall. Approximately 4.0 miles of fence will be replaced near Tecate, California (Figure 1) and approximately 11 miles will be replaced near Calexico, California (Figure 2). Figure 1: Map of San Diego Wall Replacement Project, Tecate Port of Entry Page 2 Figure 2: Map of El Centro Wall Replacement Project, Calexico Port of Entry CBP is seeking input on potential project impacts to the environment, culture, and commerce, including potential socioeconomic impacts, and quality of life. CBP will be conducting environmental site surveys and assessments and is also gathering data and input from state and local government agencies, federal agencies, Native American tribes, and the general public that may be affected by or otherwise have an interest in the project. CBP will prepare environmental planning documents to evaluate potential environmental impacts and make those documents available to the public.
