Teotihuacán is an ancient Mesoamerican city located in a sub valley of the Valley of Mexico, which is located in the State of Mexico, 40 kilometers (25 mi) northeast of modern-day Mexico City. Teotihuacán is known today as the site of many of the most architecturally significant Mesoamerican pyramids built in the pre-Columbian Americas.

Teotihuacán ('the place where the gods were created') was built between the 1st and 7th centuries A.D., it is characterized by the vast size of its monuments – in particular, the Temple of Quetzalcoatl and the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, laid out on geometric and symbolic principles. As one of the most powerful cultural centers in Mesoamerica, Teotihuacán extended its cultural and artistic influence throughout the region, and even beyond.

It’s fitting that the Hollywood Sign, the worldwide symbol of the entertainment industry, was conceived as an outdoor ad campaign for a suburban housing development called “Hollywoodland.” After all, despite the high profile of the film biz, real estate has always been Hollywood’s primary economic driver.

Although the Sign’s appearance and purpose have evolved over the years, its basic aspirational message remains the same: This is a place where magic is possible, where dreams can come true.

But not everything is beauty and glory, behind the light, there are the darkness of death, legends, and myths. 

Come explore the fascinating past and present of this icon symbol:  THE RISE, RUIN, AND RESTORATION OF HOLLYWOOD’S BIGGEST NAME

The historic center of Mexico City also known as  Centro Histórico is the central neighborhood in Mexico City, Mexico, focused on Zócalo or main plaza and extending in all directions for a number of blocks, with its farthest extent being west to the Alameda Central.

This is where the Spaniards began to build what is now modern Mexico City in the 16th century on the ruins of the conquered Tenochtitlan, capital of the Aztec Empire.  As the center of the ancient Aztec Empire and the seat of power for the Spanish colony of New Spain, the Centro Histórico contains most of the city's historic sites from both eras as well as a large number of museums.

The Zócalo is the largest plaza in Latin America. This section of the capital has just over nine square km and occupies 668 blocks. It contains 9,000 buildings, 1,550 of which have been declared of historical importance. Most of these historic buildings were constructed between the 16th and 20th centuries.

We are turning our beautiful Ocean into a plastic soup.

 About 8 million tons of plastic enter the sea every year, and if we do not change, we face a future with more plastic in the ocean than fish by 2050. Our plastic addiction and waste mismanagement are condemning countless marine birds and animals to death by entanglement or poisoning. From the Arctic to the Antarctic, no corner of the Ocean is untouched by this global scourge.

Today we will take a narrative tour through the central California valley and visit Piedras Blancas, home to the Northern Elephant seals, you will learn about the history and habits of these extraordinary animals. 

Starting in the 1700s, the maritime fur trade of the Pacific Northwest depleted nearly all species of marine mammals including sea otters, whales, dolphins, seals, and sea lions. Elephant seals were hunted almost to extinction for their oil-rich blubber, which was used to make oil for lamps and lubrication. And today, we can enjoy this thriving colony on the Western coast of California.
