We stopped along the road where Paul had spotted an Echinocereus hanging over a road cut at the side of road. Many large Echinocactus horizonthalonius, Echinocereus triglochidiatus forms and others were seen here.
A crowd forms at the grave of Eva Peron (a.k.a Evita). It was the anniversary of her death the day we happened to visit. (The grave is on the right side of the picture.) The picture was taken from the "end" of the line.
Her body was finally buried in this site in 1971 (after years of bouncing around between Argentina and Spain). Extensive measures were taken by the Argentine government to secure Evita's tomb. There is a trapdoor in the tomb's marble floor, which leads to a compartment that contains two coffins. Under the first compartment is a second trapdoor and a second compartment. That is where Evita's coffin rests. It is believed that Evita's tomb is so secure that it could withstand a nuclear attack.
The Banks Peninsula.
This stunning volcano formed peninsula was named by Captain Cook in 1770 believing that it was an island after he saw Lake Ellesmere which he thought was the sea. He named it after the botanist on his voyage – Joseph Banks. We know that the peninsula is made up of two volcanic cones with breached sides on the calderas - with one forming Lyttelton Harbour and the other Akaroa Harbour. The volcanoes were active 1.6 to 5 million years ago. The volcanic cones or calderas have steep indented sides producing dramatic coastal and cliff formations. The first settlement that we reach on Banks Peninsula is called Little River which is known for its grass seed industry. On top of the caldera we should have superb views of Akaroa harbour if it is clear.
Apart from Maori occupation Akaroa was first settled by two Frenchmen who created the village of Duvauchelle in 1840. A little further on is Akaroa. The harbour is known for its wildlife including the rare Hector Dolphins and many seabirds. Since the Polynesian invasion of NZ about 1,000 years ago three successive waves of Maori have occupied Akaroa Harbour – the Waitaha, the Kati Mamoe and finally from the 1600s to the arrival of white settlers the Ngai Tahu. In 1830 the Maori settlement on the south side of the harbour was the scene of a notorious incident with the British ship named Elizabeth. British Captain John Stewart helped the North Island chieftain Ngata Toa to capture the local chieftain Te Maiharanui which resulted in a battle and massacre. The British wanted to establish a whaling station at Akaroa but the Ngai Tahu would not agree to this. Partly as a result of this James Busby was sent to New Zealand to negotiate with the Maoris for British occupation which he did through the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840. In the meantime Akaroa was left alone until 1838 when French whaler Captain Langlois decided to use Akaroa for a whaling station. He “purchased” some Maori land through a dubious agreement with the Maoris. He returned to France, floated the Nanto-Bordelaise Company and returned to Akaroa with a group of French families with the intention of founding a French colony there. But by the time he arrived back in Akaroa the Treaty of Waitangi had been signed, including by the Akaroa chiefs and Britain had declared sovereignty over all of New Zealand’s three main islands. But the French stayed and settled anyway with villagers at Duvauchelle and Akaroa itself. New Zealand’s first Governor Hobson despatched a British ship the Britomart from the Bay of Islands to Akaroa to ensure British sovereignty was respected. The French laid out the streets of Akaroa with French names and they planted many walnut trees and bush roses. By the time the British arrived in Christchurch with the Canterbury Associated in 1850(based like SA on the ideas of Edward Gibbon Wakefield) Akaroa was already well established albeit with a French flavour. Look at the street names- Rue Lavaud, Rue Pompallier, Rue Jolie, Rue Balguerie, Rue Benoit, Rue Viard and Rue Grehan. The hill behind the town is L’Aube Hill (Sunrise Hill).

This combination lamp/clock/cigarette lighter is multi-tasking its little heart out. From the Venetian blind shade down to the working cigarette lighter in the receiver, all its features still work (and I've got a burn in my palm to prove it). The only thing it doesn't do is function as a telephone. This wonderful lamp is the antithesis of the major tenet of Bauhaus design: form follows function. This one's got great form, but its function ran off into three different directions. From www.tackytreasures.com/

Espacios Bioseguros
“Necesitamos tomar medidas preventivas de forma urgente bajo el paradigma del uso de las mejores tecnologías”
Luis de la Fuente Ramírez, presidente de ABQ, presentó Espacios Bioseguros junto al decano del Colegio de Biólogos de la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid (COBCM), Ángel Fernández Ipar, como “un concepto en el que destacamos una serie de medidas de prevención para la población general por medio de un conjunto de soluciones tecnológicas para prevenir y minimizar los riesgos de contagio en, por ejemplo, espacios interiores, medios de transporte y otros, con el objetivo de controlar los agentes contaminantes de una forma eficaz y sostenible desde el punto de vista medioambiental y económico”. Por otro lado, “los profesionales debemos de controlar de forma eficaz los riesgos de contagio, tanto en las superficies como en el empleo de los materiales de trabajo que utilizamos todos los días”, matizó Ramírez a lo largo de su exposición.
Con motivo del acto de presentación de las Olimpiadas de Biología de la Comunidad Autónoma de Madrid, los responsables de ABQ dieron a conocer los objetivos de la entidad, así como el proyecto Espacios Bioseguros.
De esta manera, ABQ, entidad europea especializada en bioseguridad, “desea llevar a cabo un protocolo de implantación de un certificado de calidad para garantizar el Espacio Bioseguro en las empresas e instituciones con un 80% de éxito en todos los análisis que hagamos a partir de ahora”, indicaron los responsables de la asociación.
Recordemos que “ABQ ha logrado seleccionar, junto a los colegios de biólogos de las distintas Comunidades Autónomas, soluciones eficientes que han sido contrastadas por la NASA”, concluyó Ramírez.
De esta manera, la asociación ABQ participó en las Olimpiadas de Biología de la Comunidad de Madrid, organizadas por el Colegio de Biólogos de la Comunidad de Madrid (COBCM) con el patrocinio de la Consejería de Educación y la colaboración de la Universidad Complutense, Universidad Autónoma y Editorial Santillana.

Quick study in form and structure. Broccoli is a great subject to work with, with its detail and form. I like how just a little light and color is all that was need to have this veg stand out.

You will receive the exact diamonds shown in the photos.
This is a true photo of the raw diamond; the photo has not been retouched or modified in any way.
Since most people are so used to only seeing the polished diamonds in the market, some of you may be surprised that these stones are actually diamonds. But yes, raw diamonds actually come in a variety of different colors, shapes and sizes, and are a delight to the eye!
All the diamonds we sell are real genuine diamonds. The exact same diamonds that are usually cut into polished diamonds.
But don't take our word for it, any 'diamond tester' which can be purchased on Ebay/Amazon for as low as $13 will confirm that. You can also show the diamonds to your local jeweler, and if he has any experience dealing with rough diamonds, he'll be able to attest to that too.
You can mount these uncut diamonds in jewelry as they are, or have them sent to be cut into polished diamonds.
All of our diamonds are 100% naturally mined and haven't been cut, faceted, polished, or undergone any kind of process whatsoever. This makes them ideal for an investment, since while polished diamond prices fluctuate, rough diamonds only appreciate over the years.
Our diamonds are personally guaranteed to be conflict free. We strictly follow the Kimberly Process Procedures to stop conflict diamonds or blood diamonds from entering the market.
You would be getting a Kimberly Process Guarantee in every order.
The Diamonds we sell are in full compliance with the rules and regulations set under the resolutions passed by the United Nations.
****
FREE shipping anywhere in the US.
****
$40 FLAT RATE international shipping.
(We can only ship to countries who are participants of the Kimberly Process)
You'll be getting an original Kimberly Certificate assuring you that the shipment was shipped according to the Kimberly process.
****
FREE insurance in every order.
****
30 day refund policy, no questions asked.
