Old Navy opens seven stores in Mexico City
Two more coming next month in Puebla, Querétaro
5 0
The U.S. clothing retailer Old Navy is proceeding with its expansion into Mexico with the opening of seven new stores in Mexico City this month and two more in November.
At the inauguration of a new store this week in Toreo Parque Central, in the north of Mexico City, company financial director Jen Fall said it is Old Navy’s biggest launch of new stores outside the United States.
She said one of the reasons why foreign retailers are entering the Mexican market is ease of access. It is much easier to do so now than it was four years ago, said Fall, adding that flexible import duties between Mexico and the U.S. are also a factor.
The company will open stores in Multi Plaza Aragón, Parque Tezontle, Oasis Coyoacán, Forum Buenavista, Plaza Tlanepantla and Ciudad Jardín as well as Toreo Parque Central.
Other stores will open next month in the Galerías Serdán in Puebla and the Antea Lifestyle Center in Querétaro.
“It’s a big launch for us,” said Old Navy executive vice-president Ivan Wicksteed, “with a significant investment that demonstrates the level of commitment we’re making to be in Mexico.”
The firm didn’t say how big that investment is or what its sales objectives are in Mexico, which becomes the fifth country in which it operates.
Its products have previously been available through Liverpool department stores, but according to a report in August Old Navy was encouraged to open stand-alone stores in light of the success in Mexico of its other brands, Gap and Banana Republic.
That report also said 60 Old Navy Stores are planned over the next four years.
Hurricane Patricia’s landfall between 5, 6 'Most dangerous storm in history' will land between Playa Pérula and Bahía de Chamela

'Most dangerous storm in history' will land between Playa Pérula and Bahía de Chamela

Hurricane Patricia, described as the “most dangerous storm in history,” will make landfall between 5:00 and 6:00 this afternoon, likely about 90 kilometers west-northwest of the city and port of Manzanillo, Colima, between Playa Pérula and Bahía de Chamela, says the National Water Commission, or Conagua.
The storm’s description by water commission chief Roberto Ramírez de la Parra came after the National Meteorological Service (SMN) determined that it was the first time in history that a hurricane’s sustained wind speeds have reached 325 km/h.
Patricia is the strongest hurricane on record for the U.S. National Hurricane Center’s (NHC’s) area of responsibility, which includes the Atlantic and eastern north Pacific basins.
“We consider it to be an extremely dangerous and extremely powerful hurricane,” said Ramírez, and one that could prove catastrophic.
Along with exceptionally strong sustained winds, Patricia is producing gusts up to 400 km/h, said Conagua via Twitter at 1:50 CDT this afternoon.
The NHC said in its 4:00pm bulletin that a reconnaissance flight by a Hurricane Hunter aircraft found a slight weakening in the past few hours, with maximum sustained winds having dropped to 305 km/h from 325. But the storm, an NHC forecaster said, remains extremely dangerous.
Patricia was situated about 95 kilometers west of Manzanillo and moving towards the north-northeast at 22 km/h.
A hurricane warning remains in effect for Punta San Telmo, Michoacán, to San Blas, Nayarit, and a hurricane watch for east of Punta San Telmo to Lázaro Cárdenas.
Electrical service has been suspended in a number of areas as a precautionary measure. Among them are the Bay of Banderas, the municipalities of Colima, Tecomán and Manzanillo.
The Federal Police announced that highways in Colima would be closed as of 3:00pm CDT.
In Puerto Vallarta, authorities had evacuated 10,000 tourists by 6:00 this morning, while two commercial flights were due to transport visitors to Mexico City at no charge.
Monarch butterfly zone: speed limit 60 Speed zones a possibility in Coahuila as part of efforts to protect the butterfly
Monarch butterfly zone: speed limit 60
Speed zones a possibility in Coahuila as part of efforts to protect the butterfly

Highway speed limits are usually reduced in populated areas for the safety of citizens. But a new speed zone could be coming soon to parts of Mexico, where the safety of monarch butterflies is the overarching concern.
That is one of many initiatives under way to protect a species whose numbers have been in decline as Mexico prepares to receive what is expected to be one of the largest monarch butterfly migrations in recent years.
For monarch enthusiasts, the states of Michoacán and México may be the most famous, because they host large overwintering grounds favored by the insects.
But on their way south the monarchs have to travel through a great deal of Mexican territory, part of which is the state of Coahuila. It is here that the National Protected Areas Commission (Conanp) has announced a novel project that seeks to have a positive impact the butterflies’ journey through the state.
Working with state environment and transportation authorities, Conanp plans to identify the general routes taken by the monarchs and install speed limit signs where these intersect with highways.
“The monarchs’ migration routes intersect with roads; in some cases they just fly over the vehicles, but in others they are affected by heavy traffic that may include trucks and buses. It also depends on weather conditions such as wind speed, and many factors,” said Conanp director Alejandro del Mazo.
“We may not know how many butterflies die on the roads, but we do notice that it is a large number thank to the remains left on the vehicles. This is a common occurrence on any road, but if the speed limit is lowered to 60 km/h, we give the monarchs enough time to be aware of the moving vehicles and avoid them,” added Environment Secretary Eglantina Canales.
The effort to provide safe passage to the monarchs encompasses 13 states where, in order to correctly assess and identify their feeding and resting grounds, over 10,000 people have been tasked with monitoring their travel routes.
“2015 is a very important year. We have combined efforts and achieved cooperation between the federal, state and municipal governments, and non-governmental and international organizations. We have over 10,000 people collaborating and following the migratory route,” said del Mazo.
These actions are part of a larger effort — by Mexico, the United States and Canada — to increase the monarch population to 225 million specimens by 2020.
This year’s migrating monarch butterflies have been sighted in Mexico since October 8, with the largest reported group this season sighted in Sabinas, Coahuila, on October 12.
Del Mazo expects a larger presence of monarchs in their hibernation sanctuaries this season, which are expected to extend over more than three hectares. Last season, in comparison, their presence was reported to cover a 1.3-hectare expanse of land.
The expected increase in monarch numbers could be a direct result of measures taken in past years by the United States, where milkweed — a food source for the butterflies — had been systematically eliminated with herbicides.
Since then, farmers, agribusiness companies, government institutions and universities have joined forces and created milkweed reserves, away from farmland crops but along the monarchs’ migratory routes.
The success of this measure may be short-lived, as reports of the wrong kind of milkweed being planted could represent yet another threat to the monarchs, increasing their odds of becoming infected with a crippling parasite.
Habitat loss in both the United States and Mexico has long been the main threat to the North American monarch population. During the 2013-2014 season, monarch presence in their hibernation sanctuaries extended to just over half a hectare, a stark decrease from the 1996-1997 season, the largest migration on record with 18.5 hectares.

Hurricane Patricia is strongest recorded 'Potentially catastrophic' Category 5 hurricane tracking towards Jalisco

Hurricane Patricia is strongest recorded
'Potentially catastrophic' Category 5 hurricane tracking towards Jalisco

Hurricane Patricia, which is now rated Category 5 and the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Western Hemisphere, continues tracking towards the coast of Mexico with landfall forecast on the central coast of Jalisco between 4:00 and 6:00pm, where its effects could be catastrophic.
National Water Commission (Conagua) director Roberto Ramírez de la Parra confirmed that it is the most intense hurricane ever recorded in Mexico, warning coastal residents of the extreme danger it presents.
“A Category 5 hurricane can lift vehicles, houses that are not built with concrete and rebar and sweep people off their feet,” he said in a message broadcast on YouTube.
The hurricane warning area extends from Punta San Telmo in Michoacán to San Blas, Nayarit.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center, describing Patricia as “potentially catastrophic,” reported at 10:00am Central Daylight Time the storm is now moving northward at 17 km/h, with a turn to the north-northeast and a faster forward motion expected later today. It should make landfall within the warning area late this afternoon, forecasters said.
Its position was 200 kilometers southwest of Manzanillo and maximum sustained winds were 325 km/h.
The Weather Channel said this morning that the eye of Hurricane Patricia will move onshore in Jalisco, but the adjoining states of Colima and Nayarit will also feel its effects. In addition to “catastrophic winds” those will include “a formidable flood threat.”
The city of Manzanillo may experience destructive winds and is likely to see flooding rainfall, a dangerous storm surge and large waves breaking onshore, Weather Channel forecasters predicted.
Officials are warning residents within the hurricane warning area to remain indoors after 3:00pm this afternoon.
Over the next 48 hours, Patricia could deliver rain totaling 40% of that recorded annually. Conagua is forecasting as much as 250 millimeters in central and southern parts of Colima, in Jalisco and in the south of Michoacán.
Intense rains with accumulations reaching 75 to 150 millimeters are forecast for southern areas of Durango and Zacatecas, the south and east of Nayarit, much of Aguascalientes, the mountains and the south of Guerrero and the south and west of Guanajuato.
Waves up to 10 meters high are forecast for Jalisco.
National Civil Protection coordinator Luis Felipe Puente warned residents of homes with windows facing the ocean to stay away from them. He also warned against being inside a vehicle when the storm strikes.
Interior Secretary Miguel Angel Osorio Chong urged Jalisco residents, particularly those in Puerto Vallarta and the Bay of Banderas area, to take extreme caution and be aware of warnings and recommendations from state and federal authorities.
“No one knows what we are going be faced with; it’s becoming progressively more alarming,” he said, offering the warning that a cold front from the U.S. could increase the hurricane’s force.
Early this morning, evacuations began in zones of Puerto Vallarta deemed high risk. Officials were going door-to-door to advise citizens that they would have to take refuge in shelters. Businesses were being told close their doors as all commercial activities were to be suspended.
Emergency protocols have been enacted to put more than 10,000 police, soldiers and others on alert, including 2,500 employees of the Federal Electricity Commission.
An emergency has been declared in 10 municipalities in Colima, 34 in Jalisco and 11 in Nayarit where the number of people at risk has been estimated at 400,000. In those three states as well as Michoacán officials have readied 1,782 emergency shelters to accommodate 258,000 people.
The airports in Manzanillo and Puerto Vallarta have been closed, officials said.
Patricia’s strengthening from a Category 1 hurricane has been fast. Early yesterday it was rated Category 1 with winds of 135 km/h.

huricane in history, were felt across three Mexican states yesterday evening, leaving only minor damage and no loss of life, according to reports this morning.
The Category-5 storm made landfall at shortly after 6:00pm in the Bays of Tenacatita, Cuestecomate and Navidad in Jalisco, about 80 kilometers west-northwest of Manzanillo, Colima.
The eye of the storm battered the fishing villages and small towns of Melaque, El Estrecho and La Manzanilla with steady winds of 305 km/h and gusts up to 380.
“The waves were coming in to the hotel,” a night watchman at a hotel in Barra de Navidad told the Associated Press. Domingo Hernández said there were downed trees and utility poles everywhere in town.
Trees were knocked down in much of the region, and there was some flooding and mudslides, but little else had been reported in the way of damage as of noon today.
Strong winds and torrential rain continued in the area until about 9:00pm last night when the impact of the storm began to wane as it moved inland.
Nearly 10,000 people took refuge in emergency shelters while the same number of tourists were evacuated from Puerto Vallarta to Guadalajara.
The National Water Commission, Conagua, reported this morning that some areas recorded accumulated rainfall of nearly 400 millimeters over a 24-hour period ending at 3:00 this morning.
Nevado de Colima in Jalisco saw 383 millimeters, Sierra Manantlán, Colima, 297 and Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán, 261.
Sixteen hours after the monster hurricane struck the coast, it was downgraded by the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) to a tropical depression as it passed 155 kilometers northeast of the city of Zacatecas, with winds of just 55 km/h.
But an NHC forecaster warned that tropical storm-force gusts were still possible near the center of the storm, especially at higher elevations as it moved across central and northeastern Mexico.
The National Meteorological Service forecast intense rain with accumulations reaching 75 to 150 millimeters in Coahuila, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas in a bulletin at 10:45am today.
