  • On the Shady Side: Escape the Heat to San Diego's Coolest Spots by Ondine Brooks Kuraoka
    Publication Details: San Diego Family Magazine July 2004 pp. 28-29, 31 Approximately 1,400 words On the Shady Side: Escape the Heat to San Diego's Coolest Spots by Ondine Brooks Kuraoka During the dog days of summer, it’s tempting to hunker down inside until the temperature drops. Cabin fever can hit hard, though, especially with little ones. If we don’t have air conditioning we hit the mall, or stake out a booth at Denny’s, or do time at one of the wild pizza arcades when we’re desperate. Of course, we can always head to the beach. But we yearn for places where energetic little legs can run amok and avoid the burning rays. Luckily, there is a slew of family-friendly, shady glens nestled between the sunny stretches of San Diego. First stop: Balboa Park (www.balboapark.org ). The Secret is Out While you’re huffing a sweaty path to your museum of choice, the smiling folks whizzing by on the jovial red Park Tram are getting a free ride! Park in the lot at Inspiration Point on the east side of Park Blvd., right off of Presidents Way, and wait no longer than 15 minutes at Tram Central, a shady arbor with benches. The Tram goes to the Balboa Park Visitors Center (619-239-0512), where you can get maps and souvenirs, open daily from 9 a.m.. to 4 p.m. Continuing down to Sixth Avenue, the Tram then trundles back to the Pan American Plaza near the Hall of Champions Sports Museum.

  • The Southwest on Display at the Panama- California Exposition, 1915
    The Journal of San Diego History SAN DIEGO HISTORICAL SOCIETY QUARTERLY Fall 1990, Volume 36, Number 4 Richard W. Crawford, Editor The Southwest on Display at the Panama- California Exposition, 1915 By Richard W. Amero Images from the Article After five years of unrelenting effort, San Diego celebrated the official opening of the Panama- California Exposition in Balboa Park on January 1, 1915. At midnight, December 31, President Woodrow Wilson, in Washington, D.C., pressed a Western Union telegraph key. The signal turned on every light on the grounds and touched off a display of fireworks. The gates to the Exposition swung open. A crush of from 31,836 to 42,486 people on the grounds cheered, waved banners, threw confetti, sang "I Love You California," and snake-danced their way to the Isthmus, or fun street.1 Among the guests who took part in the official but sparsely attended ceremonies, beginning at 11:30 the following morning, were Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo, Commander of the U.S. Pacific fleet Rear Admiral T.B. Howard, Director-General of the Pan-American Union John Barrett, and Spanish delegate Count del Valle de Salazar.2 In his speech to the guests, wearied from the festivities of the night before, Gilbert Aubrey Davidson, president of the Panama-California Exposition Company, declared the Exposition's purpose was to build an empire extending from the back country of the Pacific slope to the west shores of the Missouri River.3 At one point Davidson said: Here is pictured in this happy combination of splendid temples, the story of the friars, the thrilling tale of the pioneers, the orderly conquest of commerce, coupled with the hopes of an El Dorado where life can expand in this fragrant land of opportunity.

However, research effort on alien species has been uneven so far and most countries of Accepted 23 July 2020 North Africa such as Algeria has not yet been the subject of a comprehensive inventory of KEYWORDS introduced, naturalized and invasive species. Thus, the present study was undertaken in order Algeria; alien flora; to improve our knowledge and to propose a first checklist of alien plants present in Algeria, introduced flora; invasive including invasive and potentially invasive plants. This work aims to make an inventory of all species; Mediterranean available data on the alien florapresent in Algeria, and to carry out preliminary quantitative and region; naturalized plants; qualitative analyses (number of taxa, taxonomic composition, life forms, geographical origins, plant traits; species list types of habitats colonized, degree of naturalization). The present review provides a global list of 211 vascular species of alien plants, belonging to 151 genera and 51 families. Most of them originated from North America (31.3%) and the Mediterranean Basin (19.4%). Nearly half (43%) of alien species are therophytes and most of them occur in highly disturbed biotopes (62%), such as arable fields (44.5%) or ruderal habitats, including rubble (17.5%).

La primera, está constituida por unas 4000 especies de hierbas perennes y, en menor medida, de plantas trepadoras y arbustos. Aunque cuenta con algunas especies que se distribuyen de forma silvestre por áreas templadas, la mayor parte de los géneros y especies son tropicales. Bignoniáceas cuenta con cerca de 800 especies de árboles, arbustos y plantas trepadoras perennes, se distribuyen por todos los trópicos del mundo y por áreas templadas americanas. En este trabajo experimental se ha llevado a cabo una revisión de las Acantáceas y Bignoniáceas presentes en la flora ornamental de la ciudad de Sevilla. En las Acantáceas, se han documentado seis especies (tres herbáceas perennes, dos arbustivas y una trepadora perenne) clasificadas en 5 géneros e incluidas en 2 subfamilias. De Bignoniáceas, se relacionan 11 especies (cuatro arbóreas, una arbustiva y seis trepadoras perennes) pertenecientes a 4 tribus. Para cada especie se han recolectado y prensado ejemplares en distintos lugares de la ciudad; los pliegos resultantes se han incluido en el Herbario del Departamento de Biología Vegetal y Ecología de la Universidad de Sevilla (SEV).

  • HISTORICAL CONTEXT Historical Context
    HISTORICAL CONTEXT Historical Context THE STORY OF THE ALCAZAR GARDENS C"ol G,een"ee 'The past is a foreign country; they spoke a different language there. " The Go-Between (A Cannes Festival award winning film) To trace the history of the Alcazar Gardens of Balboa Park, and to identify their significance as part of San Diego's regional herrtage, this chapter will explore their connections with the Moorish gardens of Spain. This chapter will also link the popular twentieth­ century appreciation of Moorish gardens to the emergence of the Spanish Revival style that became an architectural vernacular in those parts of America which have strong ties to Hispanic history. The importance of the Alcazar Gardens is cultural. in the broadest sense of the tenn. 1 To Americans, the culture represented by these gardens belongs to an unfamiliar time and place: Islamic Spain.2 Because the rich, complex history of Spain is not well understood by most English-speaking park visitors, and because the pattern and symbolism of Moorish gardens are not part of America's cultural literacy, non-Hispanic visitors often need extra help in interpreting the design metaphors of the Alcazar Gardens. 3 For Americans one key that can help unlock some of the seeming mystery of Moorish gardens is an understanding of the term alcazar. This word evolved from the Arab language, and means the (al) fortified palace (casr). In Andalusia this word is pronounced al-KAH-sar, with the accent on the second syllable.4 Each major city in Moorish Spain had its own fortified palace--a large walled compound that contained royal reception and dining AIc.Jzar Garden • Balboa Park San Diego • Califomia rooms, pleasure gardens, business offices, workers' quarters, orchards, food gardens, cisterns, workshops and farm animals.
