Solo me tardé 5 años de desidia, pero acá está la nueva versión del mapa de tianguis con varias mejoras, pero sobretodo tiene un módulo colaborativo.

Si le dan clic a cualquier tianguis e inician sesión con Google, pueden dejar recomendaciones y tips.

Meteorological models are tracking a highly anomalous atmospheric event as November begins. The strong, high-altitude winds that wrap around the Arctic region are slowing down drastically, with several predictive models indicating they could completely reverse direction. If these projections materialize, it will mark the earliest major Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) recorded since tracking records began.

The polar vortex consists of a massive, circulating pool of freezing air bounded by high-velocity winds within the stratosphere, sitting well above normal cloud layers. Under typical seasonal conditions, this system intensifies throughout autumn as the loss of solar radiation rapidly chills the polar atmosphere, forcing the surrounding wind fields to accelerate.

This season, an unusual surge of atmospheric wave energy migrating upward from lower levels is projected to severely disrupt this structure. An intensifying high-pressure ridge is forecast to tear the core apart, dividing it into two distinct low-pressure centers positioned over Siberia and North America. At an altitude of roughly 19 miles (30 kilometers), localized stratospheric temperatures are expected to spike up to 40°F (22°C) higher than typical baselines, though this intense warming remains confined to the upper atmosphere.

When the polar vortex fragments, it frequently forces the lower-altitude jet stream to buckle. These subsequent shifts can unlock dense Arctic air masses, allowing them to drift into mid-latitude regions over the following weeks. However, a stratospheric split does not guarantee severe winter weather at the surface. Forecasters note that northern Canada currently lacks the dense reservoir of extreme cold necessary to push a deep Arctic blast into the United States. While parts of Europe and the eastern United States may experience a cool down, localized weather outcomes remain highly uncertain.

The defining characteristic of this setup is its unprecedented timing, occurring right when the high-altitude winter circulation should be gaining strength. For now, the structural split and wind reversal remain tentative computer model solutions rather than a confirmed atmospheric reality.

The monumental "Catrina" skeleton in Mexico City's Zócalo has just broken a new official Guinness World Record as the world's tallest Calavera Catrina.

Unveiled as the central masterpiece of the capital's Monumental Day of the Dead Offering (Ofrenda Monumental), this staggering sculpture stands at an incredible 33.41 meters (nearly 110 feet) tall.

It acts as a massive public altar celebrating the deeply rooted traditions of Día de Muertos while paying special tribute to José Guadalupe Posada, the iconic Mexican artist who originally created the famous skeletal figure at the turn of the 20th century.

Amalia Solórzano y Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas: una familia ante la historia

El 1 de diciembre de 1934, Lázaro Cárdenas del Río asumió la Presidencia de México. En estas imágenes aparece acompañado de su esposa, Amalia Solórzano, y su pequeño hijo, Cuauhtémoc, nacido el 1 de mayo del mismo año, quien tenía apenas siete meses de edad. La escena familiar, captada antes de la toma de protesta, nos acerca a un momento decisivo de la historia política mexicana.

Amalia Solórzano fue una compañera fundamental en la vida de Lázaro Cárdenas, pero también construyó una trayectoria propia, vinculada con causas sociales y humanitarias. Su hijo, Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Solórzano, seguiría décadas después su propio camino en la política y se convertiría en una figura central de la izquierda mexicana y de la lucha por la democratización del país.

La escena también nos remite a un principio esencial de la vida democrática: la transición pacífica del poder. El 1 de diciembre de 1934, Abelardo L. Rodríguez entregó la Presidencia a Lázaro Cárdenas, en un proceso institucional que contrastaba con las décadas de levantamientos y conflictos armados que habían marcado la historia nacional.

Una fotografía familiar terminó convirtiéndose en una ventana a la historia de México, sus transformaciones políticas y la construcción de sus instituciones.

Este es el momento exacto en el que Lula ganó las elecciones de Brasil.

Ocurrió durante el debate. Convirtió una burla en un discurso de clase.

Por estas cosas ha ganado. Honor.

At this exact moment in 2023, the unthinkable happened.

In one of the most devastating forecast failures of the modern era, Pacific Hurricane Otis exploded from a 50 MPH Tropical Storm to a 165 MPH Category 5 in just 24 HOURS.

With almost no warning, he struck Acapulco, Mexico (a metropolitan area of over 600,000 people) and laid ruin to the city, gutting dozens of modern skyscrapers and obliterating whole neighborhoods on the slopes of the surrounding mountains.

Otis’ rate of intensification, which was still completely unforeseen the morning before landfall, was unprecedented on a global scale. While several storms had deepened faster, none had gone from such a weak and disorganized state to a Hurricane of the maximum category within the span of a SINGLE day.
