After a brief stay in Genoa, where they attended the "Grand Opera of Mephistopheles," they traveled by train to Marseille, France, and the next day to Barcelona, Spain. From there they took an overnight boat to Palma, the capital of the island of Majorca. They arrived in Palma on November 16. Majorca is the largest island of the Balearics, a chain belonging to Spain off its eastern coast.

Just as quickly Mary wrote a poem about the sea. For the next six weeks they explored the island, endured the cold, stormy weather, and made many friends among the other visiting Americans and Europeans. Mary wrote exuberantly about Majorca, "This is the most beautiful spot I have ever seen. No wonder the inhabitants are good they must feel God near." The twins were curious tourists.

In heart and actions we are not sedate as even middle aged people should be. We giggled and laughed and sung all the long rainy way home." At every opportunity Mary sketched or painted the local scenery.

  • Algeciras En La Encrucijada De La Batalla Del Estrecho (Siglos Xiii Y Xiv)
    ALGECIRAS EN LA ENCRUCIJADA DE LA BATALLA DEL ESTRECHO (SIGLOS XIII Y XIV) Por MANUEL GONZÁLEZ JIMÉNEZ En el presente año se conmemoran dos importantes cente- narios: el de la batalla de las Navas de Tolosa (1212) y el inicio del reinado de Alfonso XI, bisnieto de Alfonso X el Sabio e hijo de Fernando IV “el Emplazado”. Alfonso XI accedió al trono en 1312, apenas con dos años de edad. Tras una larga y agitada minoría, en 1325 se anticiparía su mayoría de edad. Tenía apenas catorce años. A pesar de ello, protagonizó uno de los reinados más brillantes de la Baja Edad Media. Supo pacificar el reino y dotarlo de leyes nuevas y, por si fuera poco, proseguir con éxito la reconquista, reiniciando así el enfrentamiento por el control de la orilla europea del Estrecho de Gibraltar, tema que los histo- riadores llamamos desde hace tiempo la “batalla del Estrecho”. Vamos a tratar brevemente de este asunto que culminaría con la conquista de Algeciras que fue, junto con la de Tarifa, conquista- da en 1292, la llave del acceso a la Península. LA CRUZADA DE ALFONSO X CONTRA ÁFRICA Al acceder al trono Alfonso X el 1º de junio de 1252, todo lo que quedaba de al-Andalus estaba sometido por tributo al rey de Castilla. Era tiempo de pensar en el encargo que su padre Fernando III le hiciera en su lecho de muerte: proseguir la guerra contra los musulmanes en África. Se trataba de un proyecto, aca- riciado por el Santo Rey, como nos informa la Primera Crónica 453 454 MANUEL GONZÁLEZ JIMÉNEZ General.

[email protected] d Intelligent Modelling of Systems Research Group, University of Cádiz, Algeciras, Spain. marí[email protected] e Research Group Transport and Innovation Economic, University of Cádiz, Algeciras, Spain. [email protected] Received: November 04rd, 2014. Received in revised form: June 12th, 2015. Accepted: December 10th, 2015. Abstract The prediction of freight congestion (cargo peaks) is an important tool for decision making and it is this paper’s main object of study. Forecasting freight flows can be a useful tool for the whole logistics chain. In this work, a complete methodology is presented in order to obtain the best model to predict freight congestion situations at ports. The prediction is modeled as a classification problem and different approaches are tested (k-Nearest Neighbors, Bayes classifier and Artificial Neural Networks). A panel of different experts (post–hoc methods of Friedman test) has been developed in order to select the best model. The proposed methodology is applied in the Strait of Gibraltar’s logistics hub with a study case being undertaken in Port of Algeciras Bay. The results obtained reveal the efficiency of the presented models that can be applied to improve daily operations planning.

We shall look particularly at the part played by Spain at this Conference in order to gauge the extent of its participation in the settlement of the colonial confl ict that had arisen in connection with Morocco and the international crisis that 1 Spanish Yearbook of International Law, Volume XII, 2008 © 2008 Koninklijke Brill NV.

  • First Record of Beaching Events for a Calycophoran Siphonophore: Abylopsis Tetragona (Otto, 1823) at the Strait of Gibraltar
    Marine Biodiversity https://doi.org/10.1007/s12526-018-0926-1 SHORT COMMUNICATION First record of beaching events for a caLycophoran siphonophore: Abylopsis tetragona (Otto, 1823) at the Strait of GibraLtar Elena Guerrero1 & Karen Kienberger2 & Ana ViLLaescusa 3 & Josep-Maria GiLi1 & GabrieL Navarro2 & Laura Prieto 2 Received: 26 March 2018 / Revised: 2 August 2018 / Accepted: 8 October 2018 # Senckenberg GeseLLschaft für Naturforschung 2018 Abstract Two beaching events of the calycophoran siphonophore Abylopsis tetragona (Otto, 1823) were observed in two different areas of the Strait of Gibraltar during the cold season. The first was discovered on November 2014, on Getares Beach (Algeciras Bay, Mediterranean part of the Strait of Gibraltar), where more than 700 colonies were found deposited along the tideline. The second event was discovered on January 2015, on Paloma Baja Beach (Tarifa, Atlantic part of the Strait of Gibraltar) where an average density of 170 colonies m−2 was spread along the seashore. Both events seemed to be promoted by strong easterly winds, preceded by upwelling episodes that may have concentrated high densities of the siphonophore in superficial layers. This study represents the first report of a calycophoran siphonophore mass stranding. The records were made thanks to citizen science and jellyfish outreach at secondary schools (PERSEUS@school initiative), illustrating the importance of citizen science projects in observing natural phenomena. We consider the monitoring and recording of cnidarian stranding events especially important in highly productive and biologically active areas such as the Strait of Gibraltar. Keywords Mass stranding . Gelatinous zooplankton . Citizen science . Outreach . Secondary schools Introduction abundant epipelagic siphonophore inhabitant of temperate and warm waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indican oceans Siphonophores are long pelagic colonial hydrozoans and the Mediterranean Sea (Alvariño 1971; Mapstone 2014).

  • As Andalusia
    THE SPANISH OF ANDALUSIA Perhaps no other dialect zone of Spain has received as much attention--from scholars and in the popular press--as Andalusia. The pronunciation of Andalusian Spanish is so unmistakable as to constitute the most widely-employed dialect stereotype in literature and popular culture. Historical linguists debate the reasons for the drastic differences between Andalusian and Castilian varieties, variously attributing the dialect differentiation to Arab/Mozarab influence, repopulation from northwestern Spain, and linguistic drift. Nearly all theories of the formation of Latin American Spanish stress the heavy Andalusian contribution, most noticeable in the phonetics of Caribbean and coastal (northwestern) South American dialects, but found in more attenuated fashion throughout the Americas. The distinctive Andalusian subculture, at once joyful and mournful, but always proud of its heritage, has done much to promote the notion of andalucismo within Spain. The most extreme position is that andaluz is a regional Ibero- Romance language, similar to Leonese, Aragonese, Galician, or Catalan. Objectively, there is little to recommend this stance, since for all intents and purposes Andalusian is a phonetic accent superimposed on a pan-Castilian grammatical base, with only the expected amount of regional lexical differences. There is not a single grammatical feature (e.g. verb cojugation, use of preposition, syntactic pattern) which separates Andalusian from Castilian. At the vernacular level, Andalusian Spanish contains most of the features of castellano vulgar. The full reality of Andalusian Spanish is, inevitably, much greater than the sum of its parts, and regardless of the indisputable genealogical ties between andaluz and castellano, Andalusian speech deserves study as one of the most striking forms of Peninsular Spanish expression.
