These Guys LOVE the Patriots
In the media firestorm that's come to be known as Deflategate, it's become pretty clear that the New England Patriots are the most hated football team in the NFL. But there's still plenty of people who love this team and its players. Like these guys, who stepped up on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to take the hit for letting the air out of those footballs. Each one of them claims to be "the locker room guy" responsible for letting the air out of the balls. Wait. Do a couple of these guys look familiar...?

Captain America Vs. Guardian of the Galaxy!
Chris Evans is Captain America. He's a fan of the New England Patriots. Something to do with the red, white and blue, perhaps? Chris Pratt is a Guardian of the Galaxy. He favors the Seattle Seahawks. And for the past two weeks, the Captain and the Guardian have been at war. On Twitter, anyway. There have been wagers about who will do what if the other's team wins. But with their last tweets, the pair upped the ante with some back and forth images. First, this one from Chris Pratt, showing Patriots QB Tom Brady feasting on some sort of bird... hey @prattprattpratt ..... pic.twitter.com/ceDXefR8TG — Chris Evans (@ChrisEvans) January 25, 2015 Followed by this one from Chris Evans, showing Seahawks QB Russell Wilson in a different sort of uniform... "@CNRTOW: See what you started @prattprattpratt 😝 pic.twitter.com/thCuvs55eR" @ChrisEvans — chris pratt (@prattprattpratt) January 26, 2015 Personally, I hope the bantering goes on long after the game is done.

"Lost Dog" Overcomes Obstacles
Budweiser released their 2015 Super Bowl commercial yesterday. At this writing, "Lost Dog" has already had over 8 million views on YouTube. The little puppy gets into a horse trailer at the Clydesdale ranch, and gets driven away. Not to worry - he escapes in the city, and finds his way home, overcoming all obstacles. Wait, what's that behind the tree, with his home within sight? Is it a wolf? Uh oh... You can watch the rest on your own... Except for the presence of the Clydesdales and the Budweiser cap on the guy who runs the place, I'm not really sure what this has to do with beer, but that's probably not all that important... And for a little extra fun, check out this short clip that shows you some behind-the-scenes footage of the puppies used in this spot.

"Get Out of Here, You Low-Life Scum"
Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger arrived at a Senate hearing yesterday chaired by Senator John McCain. As the 91-year-old Kissinger took his seat, a group of protestors rose from theirs and started chanting, "Arrest Henry Kissinger for war crimes." They did it in a sort of sing-song way, but it really missed the mark. Kissinger didn't even seem to notice. Could be years of practice, could be that he's 91. But McCain did, and ordered the police officers in the room to remove the protestors. And as they were led out, McCain delivered the verbal coup de gras: "Get out of here, you low-life scum." Tell it like it is, Senator!

The Snow Never Bothered Them Anyway
A bona fide blizzard hit Boston and the Northeast this week, and there was an awful lot of complaining. But there was no complaining at the New England Aquarium, where some of the residents took full advantage of the snow day. Check out this video of some fur seals having an absolute blast with the weather. And check out the Marine Mammal Trainers blog for more info and some super cute pix.

Will This Be Katy Perry's Halftime Song?
Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch took the stage during media week leading up to the Super Bowl because he was obligated to do so. But I guess he didn't think he was obligated to say anything, because the answer to every question was a variation on "I'm just here so I don't get fined." It was pretty funny to watch, but the NFL didn't think so. They're considering whacking him with a huge fine. So what are they going to do to Katy Perry, the Big Game's halftime performer, who used the same line in a pre-Super Bowl interview? Check out this mashup of Marshawn and Katy saying the same thing over and over. If someone sets this to music, we're talking straight to the top of the charts. Katy could sing it during halftime. I wonder if the NFL would let Marshawn out of the locker room for a few minutes to make it a duet?

Ted 2 On the Way
Seth MacFarlane is back, people! A couple of years ago, his movie about a teddy bear that came to life earned the distinction of being "the highest-grossing original R-rated comedy of all time." That's according to comingsoon.net, and why would they lie? On June 26, Ted 2 will hit the theaters, and the trailer for it hit the internet yesterday. Mark Wahlberg is back as Ted's best friend, and Morgan Freeman is part of the cast. Morgan. Freeman. In a movie about a talking teddy bear. Now you want to see it too, don't you? Here's the trailer...

Steel Boils At About This Temperature
Lots of people want to know what the weather will be like in Glendale, Arizona for the Super Bowl this Sunday. Well just ask the folks at Fox 10 in Phoenix. Because it is HOT! Earlier this week, meteorologist Cory McCloskey was in the middle of a forecast when his current temperature board went a little nutty. 1270 degrees in Ahwatukee. 1350 in Surprise. All the way up to 2385 in Wickenburg. Lesser men would have melted. Not Cory - he handled it superbly, rolling with the numbers, and delivering up some stellar improv. Check it out! (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); Post by FOX 10 Phoenix.

Clearing the Finish Line
While a near-record snowfall covered the City of Boston, one man tried to stay ahead of the white stuff. Chris Laudani, a bartender, finished his shift early on Tuesday night, grabbed a shovel and headed for Boylston Street and the finish line of the Boston Marathon. On his own, he cleared the finish line - site of the horrific bombings - of snow. He wasn't looking for anything. "I only did it to send a message," he later told Boston Magazine after his identity was determined. I love the Boston Marathon and everything it stands for, the finish line doesn't deserve to be covered in snow." So touching...

Watch Out, Cupid!
Cupid's well-known for his archery skills. But after watching this video, I'll bet Cupid puts in for retirement. Denmark's Lars Anderson has spent his life studying and perfecting the art of archery, and has been clocked shooting three arrows - accurately too - in 1.52 seconds. That's faster than you can read the phrase "1.52 seconds." Watch what this guy can do - it really is amazing. Then send a nice Hallmark card to Cupid to cheer him up...

Freedom Summit, Revisited
Last weekend, a group of Republicans descended on Iowa for a Freedom Summit. It was an opportunity for some of the folks who would love to run the good ol' USA to strut their stuff in front of some folks who might like to see one of them run the good ol' USA. And a wonderful opportunity for Jon Stewart and The Daily Show to provide deep comic analysis of the event. Mike Huckabee was there. So was Ted Cruz. And Rick Perry, and Donald Trump too. And the cream on the Freedom Cupcake - former vice-presidential candidate, former Alaskan governor, Sarah Palin. Who somehow, at the end of Jon's analysis, morphed into Matthew McConaughey. And I did not see that coming... The Daily Show Get More: Daily Show Full Episodes,The Daily Show on Facebook,Daily Show Video Archive

Not Your Typical Teddy Bear
The Vermont Teddy Bear Company makes all sorts of seasonal pitches for you to get a special teddy bear for the one you love. They're especially popular around Valentine's Day. (Heads up, guys, it's about two weeks away!). This year, the folks at VTBC are really putting some sizzle in the game, with the new Fifty Shades of Grey Bear. No, really. It looks like it's an official tie-in with Fifty Shades of Grey - maybe you've heard that the movie is coming out on Valentine's Day? (Heads up, guys, it's about two weeks away!) Check out the web page. The ad copy is pretty good: "He features smoldering gray eyes, a suit and silk tie, mask – even mini handcuffs." And in case you're wondering, no, it's not suitable for children, because it has small parts. Says it right at the bottom of the page. Cuz nothin' says "I love you!" more than the Bondage Bear!

Dungeons & Dragons... with Real People
Amanda Peet visited Conan the other night to talk about her role on the new HBO series, Togetherness. While she was there, she chatted a little about another HBO series, one that was co-created by her husband: Game of Thrones. And what she said almost got her booed off the show. Must have been some severe Throniacs in the audience. She admitted that when her husband first told her about the idea, she said it sounded terrible. "Like Dungeons & Dragons, but real, with real people," is how she described it. Now, she's a fan... And not just because it's made her hubby a castleful of cash either.

Go Daddy or No Daddy
The folks at Go Daddy, keepers of so many web domains, usually produce an ad for the Super Bowl. Sometimes sultry, sometimes sexy, they usually cause a bit of a stir. This year, they decided to go with something a little more tame, sort of spoofing Budweiser's commercial last year about the lost dog. This new Go Daddy ad featured Buddy, a golden retriever puppy who finds his way home, only to find that his owner has just sold him on a website she built with Go Daddy's help. Buddy's owner, as it turns out, is a breeder from Gabby's Goldens. At the end of the ad, Buddy's loaded into a van and driven off. When the ad was released on Tuesday, animal rights activists were up in arms, and demanded that the ad - which they suggest was glorifying puppy mills - be pulled. And the folks at Go Daddy agreed. Here's the ad you won't see on Sunday. What do you think? Go Daddy? Or No Daddy?

Usually, if you don't use it, you lose it and start with a fresh slate next month. And who better to talk about the best ways to use your data the the Kween of Social Media herself, Kim Kardashian. I have to tell the truth here - this one is pretty funny. Check it out.

And the MVP of the Day Goes To...
Taylor Swift may not be plastered all over the social mediascape the way that Kim Kardashian is, but she does have a very strong presence. Something like 51 million followers, making her Twitter's fourth largest account. And there's 20 million on Instagram. Yesterday, Taylor's Instagram and Twitter accounts were hacked, making it one of the largest hacks to date. Not a distinction anyone wants, but it looks like it was caught quickly - thanks to a fan and fellow musician who let Taylor know something wasn't right... I'd like to acknowledge the MVP of the day, @yelyahwilliams, for being the first to text me about the hack this morning. #FriendshipGoals — Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) January 27, 2015 🏆 here's to the proof that you can win an MVP award for just basically sitting on the Internet for too long. @taylorswift13 💘 — hayley from Paramore (@yelyahwilliams) January 27, 2015 And after the fact, Taylor had a little fun with the whole thing... Cause the hackers gonna hack, hack, hack, hack, hack... — Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) January 27, 2015 PS any hackers saying they have 'nudes'? Psssh you'd love that wouldn't you! Have fun photoshopping cause you got NOTHING. — Taylor Swift (@taylorswift13) January 27, 2015

You Think They'd Know This One
Jeff Franklin, the creator of Full House, celebrated his birthday last weekend, and an impromptu partial cast reunion happened. Andrea Barber, who played Kimmy Gibbler on the show, posted this video to Instagram, capturing the cast singing the show's theme song. Well, attempting to sing it, anyway. Andrea's hashtag says it all - #onlyknewthechorus. Check it out and see if you can help them at all... Only for you, Jeff Franklin. Only for you.

Marshawn Lynch, Skittle Seahawks
Marshawn Lynch, running back for the Seattle Seahawks, is notorious for avoiding the press and press conferences. But put a bowlful of Skittles candies in front of him, he's a veritable talking machine. It looks like a long-form commercial on the Skittlesbrand YouTube page - no word on whether it will be condensed to a more broadcast-friendly length. Until then, Marshawn wants to thank Skittles - after fielding a bunch of interesting questions - "for making the game day more awesomer."

Sasquatch Plays in the Boston Snow
If it's on the internet, it's got to be true, right? A strange snow creature was pictured wandering the streets in and around Boston during Blizzard Juno. Sasquatch? Yeti? Bigfoot?

Some of the Best Juno Memes
When weather strikes, you can always count on the internet for some fun memes.

Kardashian Klone Faktory?
Take a look at this Instagram picture at the bottom of this post... That's Bruce Jenner sort of in the middle, surrounded by his three step-daughters and two actual daughters. Unless you're an actual student of the K-Klan or a devotee of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, I imagine you're having trouble sorting out who's who. Me too. Okay, here's a tutorial, numbering the girls one through five, from left to right. The one thing they all have in common is their mother, currently known as Kris Jenner. Girls 1, 3 and 4 are not full sisters. Girl 5 actually does belong in the picture. Girls 2 and 4 are half-sisters. Girl 3 is not actually a clone of Girl 1, but she sure looks like it, doesn't she? Okay, here's your decorder ring: (1) Kim Kardashian; (2) Kendall Jenner; (3) Kylie Jenner; (4) & (5) Kourtney and Khloe, or vice versa. I'm not 100% sure. I'm glad we took the time to straighten this out... Almost. daddy's girls A photo posted by Kylizzle (@kyliejenner) on Jan 19, 2015 at 6:28pm PST

Better Call Jimmy McGill?
The creative team and cast of Better Call Saul, the prequel to AMC's Breaking Bad, sat down to chat a little bit about the show's birth. It's a pretty informative piece, describing the time and place captured in the show. For instance, Saul Goodman (the character you know from Breaking Bad) is really Jimmy McGill? The executive producers are promising something different than Breaking Bad, but something exciting and full of surprises. AMC's banking big on this one, with a two-night premiere, February 8 and 9.

Best No School Announcement Ever!
Moses Brown is a college prep school in Providence, Rhode Island. Yesterday, as Blizzard Juno bore down on the Northeast, promising up to two feet of snow and more for the region, MB's Head of School, Matt Glendinning, announced that there would be no school today. But he didn't just call the local radio and TV stations. He went all out and produced a no school announcement to beat all no school announcements, and posted it to the school's YouTube account. To the tune of "Let It Go," ladies and gentlemen, I give you "School Is Closed!"

The Winner of Super Bowl XLIX is...
For the 12th year in a row, the folks at EA Sports - makers of the Madden NFL video games - have played out the Super Bowl on their game. They plugged in the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, and the winner is... Well, maybe I shouldnt say. Why spoil the fun? Watch the highlights and game summary, if you like. Or, just wait until this Sunday for the real deal. All too silly for you? Consider this. In the past 11 years, the Madden NFL team has gotten the outcome right 8 times...

Fashion Statement or Fashion Victim
Olivia Culpo, who represented the USA in the Miss Universe Pageant in 2012 and who took home the crown, was in attendance for the 2015 pageant this weekend. She was on the arm of her boyfriend, singer Nick Jonas, and he posted this picture to his Instagram page of the two of them together. The picture - and others like it of Olivia - have set the internet on fire. Well, sort of. Entertainment Weekly calls it the "most cleavage-baring dress we've ever seen." Others are wondering how the dress is able, seemingly, to dey the law of gravity. The Daily Mail in London says that Olivia was "a stand out donning a strapless frock that left many jaws on the floor." Personally, I think like she's lucky to have survived that encounter with the shredder... #missuniverse A photo posted by @nickjonas on Jan 26, 2015 at 5:51am PST

The Horse (seventh sign of the Chinese Zodiac) in Chinese Feng Shui symbolizes perseverance, strength, loyalty, victory, power, independent, strong spirited, speed and success. It is believed that placing the Horse figurines in your home or workplace will strengthen and enhance all the good traits and characteristics it represents in family members born in the year of Horse. It is no surprise that you can almost always find paintings and sculptures of horses in Chinese homes and businesses.
In Feng Shui, the horses are usually classified into Tribute Horse and Victory Horse.
The tribute horse brings fame, recognition and triumph over competitors, ensuring your talents and hard work are acknowledged and rewarded.
Victory horses are shown galloping, running upwards signifying upward mobility and promotion, steady and speedy climb to fame and success in career and life.

There is always a fear that the ivory sculpture that you bought might turn out to be a fake, because as a layman you may not be able to differentiate between a clever replicas and real ivory. However, with experience in this field and handling nearly all types of ivory, it becomes easy to differentiate just by seeing it.
Even though pure ivory can be of various quality and types, the fake ivory is made from resins. The powder that is left after sawing/carving ivory or remnants from bone sculptures are not wasted but all added to resins, put into molds.
The sculptures are then cleaned and then dipped in dark hued stains that give them the brownish tinge. There is always a difference in weight between a resin ivory and real ivory as real ivory is very heavy...Read all article about your Mammoth Ivory fake or real?

SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/20/09 -- Collecta, the streaming real-time search company that has been accelerating the pace of Internet search, announced that its new Site Search Platform is powering real-time search for Identi.ca, an open-source micro-blogging service. Through Collecta's technology, Identi.ca users can keep pace with the real-time comments, trends, and news coursing through the social network every minute.
Through real-time search, Identi.ca users can track reactions and discussions on the latest NBA trade, breaking news about health care reform, or any other topic or area of interest. Everyone can see Collecta's site search in action on Identi.ca by visiting http://search.identi.ca to search the social network.
Collecta's XMPP-based platform shoots information to users the instant it is published. As a result, users have the power to view a continuously updating stream of results without having to hit refresh or restart their query.
"Real-time search is a window into the heart of the social network. It reveals the vibrancy of the network, community, and conversations to both users and outside observers," said Collecta CEO Gerry Campbell. "Through streaming search, users see a deeper, more complex view of what's taking place on both that social network and in the world right now."
"We've been working with Collecta since before they launched to make Identi.ca data more accessible to everyone. We're happy to be able to use the same platform to bring the real-time search experience back to our own users," said Identi.ca and StatusNet founder Evan Prodromou.
"Collecta's Site Search Platform allows publishers and social networks to transform their own content and data. The result is not a static set of results, but a live view into their flow of activity," Collecta CTO Jack Moffitt commented.
The Collecta Site Search Platform is now available, enabling any social network, news publisher, sports or entertainment site to implement real-time search and provide the same level of accessibility and transparency for their site and users.

The industrial software market has treated data with the mentality of "collect everything now, worry about how to use it later." We now find ourselves buried in data, with the pervasive connectivity of the (Industrial) Internet of Things only piling on more numbers. There's too much data and not enough information.
In his session at @ThingsExpo, Bob Gates, Global Marketing Director, GE's Intelligent Platforms business, to discuss how realizing the power of IoT, software developers are now focused on understanding how industrial data can create intelligence for industrial operations.

By Liz McMillan There is no doubt that Big Data is here and getting bigger every day. Building a Big Data infrastructure today is no easy task.

To make things even more challenging, requirements are getting more sophisticated, and the standard paradigm of supporting historical analytics queries is often just one facet of what is needed. As Big Data growth continues, organizations are demanding real-time access to data, allowing immediate and actionable interpretation of events as they happen. Another aspect concerns how to deliver ... Feb. 1, 2015 03:00 AM EST Reads: 3,573 |
By Liz McMillan Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys. Feb. 1, 2015 02:00 AM EST Reads: 3,191 |

January has not been kind to two parched corners of the Americas. A large chunk of California's San Francisco Bay area is wrapping up the month with no measurable rainfall, a first for January since records began, and reservoirs serving São Paulo, Brazil, are perilously close to running completely dry in the midst of the region's worst drought since at least 1930.
No doubt, "warmest ever" headlines obscure what is important about climate change. It takes what is expected and makes it into inconsequential headlines. It is simplistic in many ways to make this persistently premiere news. It plays into maintaining a conversation that is isolating of the subject of climate change. It consumes the energy and resources of scientists in fundamentally nonproductive ways. It helps the denialists frame the conversation. We need to learn to embrace the complexity, simply, rather that trying to communicate the complexity simplistically.

Stormy and very cold weather for the eastern US

A low pressure will develop off the Southeast coast and move northeastward along the stalled front off the eastern seaboard. Precipitation will develop and expand across much of the Northeast by early morning Wednesday. Marginal cold air will limit the heaviest snow accumulations across inland locations along the foothills of the Appalachians. Most areas east of there will face slushy accumulations of less than three inches in addition to some rain.

The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The purpose of this Travel Advice is to provide up-to-date information to enable you to make well-informed decisions.
Criminal activity, including armed robbery, mugging and sexual assault, is a significant problem throughout Belize. Robberies and assaults have been reported in resort areas. There has been a noted increase in violent crime targeting tourists since the end of 2013. Criminals often operate in groups and target persons travelling alone. Always travel in groups and ensure that personal belongings and travel documents are secure at all times. Do not show signs of affluence. Use taxis after dark instead of walking.
Armed robberies occasionally occur near the western border with Guatemala, including near and around Caracol. You should only travel to these areas during daylight hours. Be cautious when visiting Mayan archaeological sites in that region, and do so only with a reputable tour guide. Only use official border crossings to enter Guatemala during the day.
Cases of sexual assault against female travellers have been reported. Always travel in groups and avoid isolated areas, including unsupervised beaches, especially at night. Never leave food or drinks unattended or in the care of strangers. Be wary of accepting snacks, beverages, gum or cigarettes from new acquaintances, as they may contain drugs that could put you at risk of sexual assault.
Demonstrations and large gatherings can occur throughout the country, especially in Belize City and Belmopan, and may turn violent. Avoid all demonstrations, follow the advice of local authorities and monitor local media.
Roads are often poorly maintained and lit. Avoid driving after dark, especially on rural roads. Traffic accidents occur regularly. Belize has four paved highways: the Western Highway from Belize City to Benque Viejo del Carmen and on to the Guatemalan border; the Northern Highway from Belize City to Corozal and on to the Mexican border; the Hummingbird Highway from Belmopan to Dangriga; and the Southern Highway from Dangriga to the resort area of Placencia and on to the southernmost town of Punta Gorda.
Be careful crossing bridges on the Hummingbird and Southern Highways, since bridges are usually only one lane. Most other roads are unpaved; they can be very dusty in the dry season, whereas major puddles and mud can be a problem in the rainy season. Bicycles and livestock are often traffic hazards, especially in urban areas.
Service stations are available on the three main highways connecting Belize City with Mexico, Guatemala and southern Belize. Always keep your gas tank full when in remote areas, as service stations are scarce and they usually close for holidays. There are no emergency road services. A few public telephones can be found in larger villages only. You should not stop to offer assistance to others whose vehicles appear to have broken down.
Passenger boats may be unsafe.
Consult our Transportation Safety page in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
Public buses and taxis are often unsafe due to poor vehicle maintenance. You should only use registered taxis with green licence plates.
If you intend to trek:
a) never trek alone;
b) always hire an experienced guide and ensure that the trekking company is reputable;
c) buy travel health insurance that includes helicopter rescue and medical evacuation;
d) ensure that you are in good physical condition and that you have sufficient supplies, notably water, as the climate is extremely hot and humid;
e) advise a family member or friend of your itinerary;
f) register with the Consulate of Canada in Belize; and
g) obtain detailed information on trekking routes before setting out.
Ensure the recreational activities you choose are covered by your travel insurance, and that rental sporting and aquatic equipment is safe and in good condition, especially for diving and snorkelling.
Avoid insect bites when on the southern coast or in the jungles by using repellent or by covering up and avoid being stung by jellyfish when snorkelling.
Dial 911 for police.
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the Belizean authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the High Commission of Belize or one of its consulates for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present a passport to visit Belize, which must be valid for at least six months beyond the date of expected departure from that country.
Tourist visa: Not required
Business visa: Required
Student visa: Required
All Canadians visiting Belize must possess a ticket for an onward or return journey and proof of sufficient funds (considered to be US$60 a day). At least half of this total must be in cash; the remaining portion may be covered by credit cards.
Border officials sometimes charge foreigners excessive entry or exit fees. Obtain current information before leaving Canada. If you are overcharged, ask to see a senior official.
There is an airport departure tax of US$35, which is normally included in the price of the plane ticket.
Children need special documentation to visit certain countries. Please consult our Children page for more information.
Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination before allowing entry. Consult the World Health Organization's country list to obtain information on this country's requirements.
Be sure that your routine vaccines are up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
You may be at risk for these vaccine-preventable diseases while travelling in this country. Talk to your travel health provider about which ones are right for you.
Hepatitis A is a disease of the liver spread through contaminated food and water or contact with an infected person. All those travelling to regions with a risk of hepatitis A infection should get vaccinated.
Hepatitis B is a disease of the liver spread through blood or other bodily fluids. Travellers who may be exposed (e.g., through sexual contact, medical treatment, sharing needles, tattooing, acupuncture or occupational exposure) should get vaccinated.
Seasonal influenza occurs worldwide. The flu season usually runs from November to April in the northern hemisphere, between April and October in the southern hemisphere and year round in the tropics. Influenza (flu) is caused by a virus spread from person to person when they cough or sneeze or by touching objects and surfaces that have been contaminated with the virus. Get the flu shot.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease and is common in most parts of the world. Be sure your measles vaccination is up-to-date regardless of your travel destination.
Rabies is a deadly illness spread to humans through a bite, scratch or lick from an infected animal. Vaccination should be considered for travellers going to areas where rabies exists and who have a high risk of exposure (i.e., close contact with animals, occupational risk, and children).
Yellow fever is a disease caused by a flavivirus from the bite of an infected mosquito.
Travellers get vaccinated either because it is required to enter a country or because it is recommended for their protection.
* It is important to note that country entry requirements may not reflect your risk of yellow fever at your destination. It is recommended that you contact the nearest diplomatic or consular office of the destination(s) you will be visiting to verify any additional entry requirements. | |
Risk |
Country Entry Requirement* |
Recommendation |
Travellers to any destination in the world can develop travellers' diarrhea from consuming contaminated water or food.
In some areas in Central America and Mexico, food and water can also carry diseases like cholera, hepatitis A and typhoid. Practise safe food and water precautions while travelling in Central America and Mexico. Remember: Boil it, cook it, peel it, or leave it!
Typhoid is a bacterial infection spread by contaminated food or water. Risk is higher among pediatric travellers, travellers going to rural areas, visiting friends and relatives or travelling for a long period of time. Travellers at high risk visiting regions with typhoid risk, especially those exposed to places with poor sanitation should speak to a health care provider about vaccination.
In some areas in Central America and Mexico, certain insects carry and spread diseases like American trypanosomiasis (Chagas disease), chikungunya, dengue fever, leishmaniasis, malaria, onchocerciasis (river blindness), and West Nile virus.
Travellers are advised to take precautions against bites.
There is currently an outbreak of chikungunya in this country. Chikungunya is a viral disease spread through the bite of an infected mosquito that typically causes fever and pain in the joints. Protect yourself from mosquito bites, particularly around sunrise and sunset. There is no vaccine available for chikungunya.
Travellers are cautioned to avoid contact with animals, including dogs, monkeys, snakes, rodents, birds, and bats. Some infections found in Central America and Mexico, like rabies, can be shared between humans and animals.
Crowded conditions can increase your risk of certain illnesses. Remember to wash your hands often and practice proper cough and sneeze etiquette to avoid colds, the flu and other illnesses.
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV are spread through blood and bodily fluids; practise safer sex.
Medical facilities are limited, and severe emergency cases require evacuation to another country at the expense of the patient.
The decision to travel is the sole responsibility of the traveller. The traveller is also responsible for his or her own personal safety.
Be prepared. Do not expect medical services to be the same as in Canada. Pack a travel health kit, especially if you will be travelling away from major city centres.
You are subject to local laws. Consult our Arrest and detention page for more information.
Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are strict. Convicted offenders can expect jail sentences and heavy fines.
Individuals and organizations must obtain a permit to possess pre-Columbian artifacts. A Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora permit is needed to collect, possess and/or export certain plants, animals and/or plant and animal products.
You must be over 25 to rent a vehicle. Remember to purchase sufficient car insurance. An International Driving Permit is recommended.
Penalties for possession of unlicensed firearms or unlicensed ammunition are strict, including large fines and mandatory jail sentences for repeat offenders.
The laws of Belize prohibit sexual acts between individuals of the same sex. LGBT travellers should carefully consider the risks of travelling to Belize. Consult Homosexual, bisexual and transgender travel for more information.
The currency is the Belizean dollar (BZD). Cash advances can be obtained at local banks with major international credit cards.
The hurricane season extends from June to the end of November. The U.S. National Hurricane Center and the Belize National Meteorological Service provide additional information on weather conditions. Stay informed of regional weather forecasts and follow the advice and instructions of local authorities.
The low-lying coastal islands of Belize are particularly vulnerable to direct hits by hurricanes and tropical storms. The islands are sometimes cut off from communications and outside assistance during hurricanes. Extensive flooding as a result of storm activity is common both on the islands and in areas of the country not directly affected by hurricanes.
