I come very often to Puerto Rico to visit family. I love the beach area behind the kiosks in Luquillo. Went recently and it seems like water from the stream? Is mixing with water from the beach.You used to be able to walk all the way down but now there is a walkway and water divides. The water is pretty dark coming from the trees. Just wondering if anyone knows if this was naturally occurring or if it was dug this way intentionally. Thanks.

Ariana carreras, bravo🔥

Black Marble View of Puerto Rico After Hurricane Maria

Scientist Miguel Román and colleagues combined NASA's Black Marble night lights data product from the NASA/NOAA Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership with data from USGS-NASA Landsat satellites and other sources to produce a neighborhood-scale map of energy use in communities across Puerto Rico as electricity was restored after Hurricane Maria in 2017.

This visualization starts with a global view of hurricane Maria hitting Puerto Rico. We then zoom in to Puerto Rico to compare the standard night lights dataset to a new, high definition version of nights lights. After the hurricane passes over the island, we see a massive drop in night light intensity due to loss of power. After showing night light levels over several stages of hurricane recovery, we transition to a 'Days Without Power' dataset. The camera then zooms in to several locations around the island to examine each stage of recovery in more detail.

Interactions between power restoration rate and vulnerable populations

In examining who was most affected by Hurricane Maria’s long-term power outages, the results show that populations with existing vulnerabilities were most disadvantaged by density-based recovery protocols (Fig 7). Households that recovered in Stage 1 earned almost double that of households recovering in Stage 2 or 3. Disparities in recovery between households of different incomes were greatest in Puerto Rico’s large cities, with the poor shouldering much longer power outages than average households in San Juan, Bayamon, Carolina, Dorado, Ponce, Toa Alta, and Toa Baja (Fig 6). Rural municipalities saw much less variation in recovery rates, and also in disparities between the populations who benefited from them. There were occasional but notable exceptions to this general trend. Low-income populations were helped by density-based restoration protocols in the municipalities of Camuy, Luquillo, and Mayagüez, where low-income populations live closer to the urban core or in multi-family units.

So I'm gonna start my bachelors in natural science with a major in agronomy and I want to know how ROUGH I'm gonna have it when finding a job. I know its something not many people work on here in PR bc its very minimum wage but I really hope I can make something of it to help my community.

Anyone got some insight for me? 🤔

Alley Cat Allies quiere que todo el mundo crea que “rescató” a los gatos Paseo, pero vamos a decir la verdad. Se llevaron a todos los gatos y los mudaron a una casa en Canóvanas. Los gatos ya no están en San Juan, como dicen ellos.

¿A eso le llaman “ganar”? ¿Sacar a unos gatos del lugar donde siempre han vivido y llevárselos pa’ otro lado? No se vale llevárselos y después darse golpes de pecho diciendo que los salvaron.

Nos merecemos saber lo que pasó de verdad, no una versión bonita para que una organización quede bien. Díganlo como es. Que no le llamen victoria a sacar a los gatos de su hogar.

Y hoy, en el Día del Gato Feral, si de verdad quieres ayudar a los gatos de Puerto Rico, dona a Save a Gato, una organización local que sí trabaja por los gatos de aquí.

¡Apoya lo nuestro! Dona a Save a Gato. 🐈

Puerto Rico LLCs and corps are no longer required to file Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) reports with FinCEN.

The agency has made the exemption permanent under its final rule effective last Aug. Find the news release here:

https://www.fincen.gov/news/news-releases/fincen-permanently-ends-beneficial-ownership-reporting-requirements-millions

The change applies to biz formed in PR, other US territories and all 50 states. So those that prev filed BOI reports are also no longer required to update or correct them. There are several exceptions thou. It's worth reviewing https://www.fincen.gov/boi before paying for reporting services.

After all the changes, deadlines, and confusion surrounding BOI reporting, it's good to finally have some clarity. 🙄

My landlord dumped this in the corner of the yard three years ago when he moved to Florida and it was dead but I started watering it and it sprung back to life. I don't know what it is but it's really beautiful and it's grown four feet in the last year and a half. It always surprises me what they give when you care for them a little bit.

Hello, Does anyone know of a place in the metro area of Puerto Rico that offers in person sign language classes? I’d really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you

Recientemente estaba verificando los puestos para contabilidad que requieren de un bachillerato y me doy cuenta que muchos de ellos dicen que pagan $13 a $15 la hora. Me extraña porque es una de las mejores profesiones en la isla y muchos hablan que se hace buen dinero, pero los puestos dicen otra cosa. Hay otras profesiones que ya están en los $17 p/h, entonces, quiero saber si para ganar buen dinero en Contabilidad hay que ser CPA o se puede ganar dinero decente pero con el bachillerato solamente?

Por que los dentistas, estan cobrando covid fees todavía? Esta kbron como en PR hasta los profesionales roban...

Quisiera saber cuanto dinero gastan en tratamientos y visitas al veterinario. Obviamente, en Puerto Rico.

Al parecer, no hemos estado alimentando lo suficiente a las ratas.

La broma de la mezquita de Sacha Baron Cohen (Who Is America?, 2018): En el segundo episodio de la serie de Showtime, el personaje de Baron Cohen, el Dr. Nira Cain-N'Degeocello, presenta ante una asamblea comunitaria en Kingman, Arizona, un proyecto ficticio para construir una megamezquita de 385 millones de dólares, supuestamente financiado por Arabia Saudita. La broma busca satirizar los prejuicios de la comunidad local y la islamofobia.
