With the rise of many chemical products that are being used in the daily activities of people work. There has been a rise in corrosion ion metallic surfaces that is affected by such chemicals. Wooden surfaces have not been spared either as they are also facing a similar problem as well as other types of surface that you can think of. This is why there is the need to have a good protective coating that should be used to offer some resistance to some of the damaging agent that comes in contact with such surfaces.

Although high quality protective coatings may be a little more expensive it is always good to ensure that you use it whenever you want to apply it on your treasured machinery or product. The reason for this is due to the protective nature that this product will give you and you will not regret for such a price that you buy.

1st of all, a 5 star resort will have filtered h2o and ice so you can drink safely and securely. The walmart is downtown about a ten min. wander from Mercado 28. Bus R15 will choose you there.

Safe and sound areas to consume are the greater places that are commercialized like Senor Frogs or Bubba Gumps, Outback, and many others.

Purchasing places are just about everywhere and mostly there are artesians merchants where they all make their personal factors to market. The items are the exact same at all the areas and every person tries to sell tours. El Sombrero restaurant is good, it’s near coral negro.

Did you all know I have a free Newsletter? You’ll love it… all kinds of great photos and free tips!

Here is a wonderful scene from India. I am sure that people here find these women to be rather commonplace and uninteresting, but I thought all their little movements were photo-worthy. I’m sure they thought I was a nut following them around, so I tried to remain fairly clandestine, so as to not to interrupt their natural behavior. I sort of felt like I was tracking wild animals in their native habitat. That sounds strange, I’m sure!

Yes, I used a texture on this one from one of the texture tutorial packages. Note that I won’t do this for everyone, but I wanted to point you to my friend Scotty Graham’s blog in Indonesia, who is re-selling these textures. If you buy from there, he is donating his profits to children that suffered from the earthquakes in Sumatra. Anyway, as you can tell, he’s a nice guy, and his site is certainly worth a visit!

Simon Bolivar “The Liberator”


Image by dbking
Simn Jos Antonio de la Santsima Trinidad Bolvar y Palacios (born July 24, 1783 in Caracas, Venezuela; died December 17, 1830, in Santa Marta, Colombia) was a leader of several independence movements throughout South America, collectively known as Bolvar’s War.

Credited with leading the fight for independence in what are now the countries of Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Panama, and Bolivia, he is revered as a hero in these countries and throughout much of the rest of Hispanic America.

In 1802, he married Mara Teresa Rodrguez del Toro y Alaysa. She died of yellow fever less than a year later and he never remarried.

Bolvar is known as "El Libertador" (the Liberator).

Family heritage and early life
The Bolvar aristocratic bloodline derives from a small village in the Basque Country, called Bolibar, which is the origin of the surname. His father descended remotely from King Fernando III of Castile and Count Amedeo IV of Savoy. The Bolivars settled in Venezuela in the sixteenth century.

A portion of their wealth came from the Aroa River gold and copper mines in Venezuela. In 1632, gold was first mined, leading to further discoveries of extensive copper deposits. Towards the later 1600s, copper was exploited with the name "Cobre Caracas". These mines became the property of Simn Bolvar’s family. Later in his revolutionary life, Bolvar used part of the mineral income to finance the South American revolutionary wars. Some people claim that his family grew to prominence before gaining great wealth. For example, the Cathedral of Caracas, founded in 1575, has a side chapel dedicated to Simn Bolvar’s family.

Bolvar was born in Caracas, in modern-day Venezuela and educated by tutors after his parents died. Among his tutors was Simn Rodrguez, whose ideas and educational style heavily influenced the young man.

Following the death of his parents, Juan Vicente de Bolvar y Ponte, 1st Marqus de San Luis, and his wife Mara de la Concepcin de Palacios y Blanco, he went to Spain in 1799 to complete his education. There he married Mara Teresa Rodrguez del Toro y Alaysa in 1802, but on a brief return visit to Venezuela in 1803, she succumbed to yellow fever. Bolvar returned to Europe in 1804 and for a time was part of Napoleon’s retinue.

Freemasonry
Simon Bolivar was a Freemason who was raised in the Scottish Rite, 1807. Simon also founded the Lodge Order and Liberty No. 2 in Peru in 1824

El Libertador
Bolvar returned to Venezuela in 1807, and, when Napoleon made Joseph Bonaparte King of Spain and its colonies in 1808, he participated in the resistance juntas in South America. The Caracas junta declared its independence in 1810, and Bolvar was sent to Britain on a diplomatic mission.

Bolvar returned to Venezuela in 1811. In March 1812, Bolvar was forced to leave Venezuela because of an earthquake that destroyed Caracas. In July 1812, junta leader Francisco de Miranda surrendered to the Spanish, and Bolvar had to flee to Cartagena de Indias. In this period, Bolvar wrote his Manifiesto de Cartagena. In 1813, after acquiring a military command in New Granada under the direction of the Congress of Tunja, he led the invasion of Venezuela on May 14. This was the beginning of the famous Campaa Admirable, the Admirable Campaign. He entered Mrida on May 23, where he was proclaimed as El Libertador, following the occupation of Trujillo on June 9. Six days later, on June 15, he dictated his famous Decree of War to the Death (Decreto de Guerra a Muerte). Caracas was retaken on August 6, 1813, and Bolvar was ratified as "El Libertador", thus proclaiming the Venezuelan Second Republic. Due to the rebellion of Jos Toms Boves in 1814 and the fall of the republic, he returned to New Granada, where he then commanded a Colombian nationalist force and entered Bogot in 1814, recapturing the city from the dissenting republican forces of Cundinamarca. He intended to march into Cartagena and enlist the aid of local forces in order to capture Royalist Santa Marta. However, after a number of political and military disputes with the government of Cartagena, Bolvar fled, in 1815, to Jamaica, where he petitioned the Haitian leader Alexandre Ption for aid.

In 1816, with Haitian help (given because he promised to free slaves), Bolvar landed in Venezuela and captured Angostura (now Ciudad Bolvar).

A victory at the Battle of Boyac in 1819 added New Granada to the territories free from Spanish control, and in September 7, 1821 the Gran Colombia (a federation covering much of modern Venezuela, Colombia, Panama, and Ecuador) was created, with Bolvar as president and Francisco de Paula Santander as vice president.

Further victories at the Carabobo in 1821 and Pichincha in 1822 consolidated his rule over Venezuela and Ecuador respectively. After a meeting in Guayaquil, on July 26 and July 27, 1822, with Argentine General Jos de San Martn, who had received the title of Protector of Peruvian Freedom, in August 1821, after having partially liberated Peru from the Spanish, Bolvar took over the task of fully liberating Peru. The Peruvian congress named him dictator of Peru, on February 10, 1824, which allowed Bolvar to completely reorganize the political and military administration. Bolvar, assisted by Antonio Jos de Sucre, decisively defeated the Spanish cavalry, on August 6, 1824, at Junn. Sucre destroyed the still numerically superior remnants of the Spanish forces at Ayacucho on December 9.

On August 6, 1825, at the Congress of Upper Peru, the Republic of Bolivia was created. Bolvar is thus one of the few men to have a country named after him. The constitution reflected the influence of the French and Scottish Enlightenment on Bolvar’s political thought, as well as that of classical Greek and Roman authors.

Bolvar had great difficulties maintaining control of the vast Gran Colombia. During 1826, internal divisions had sparked dissent throughout the nation and regional uprisings erupted in Venezuela, thus the fragile South American coalition appeared to be on the verge of collapse.

An amnesty was declared and an arrangement was reached with the Venezuelan rebels, but political dissent in New Granada grew as a consequence of this. In an attempt to keep the federation together as a single entity, Bolvar called for a constitutional convention at Ocaa during April 1828.

He had seen his dream of eventually creating an American Revolution-style federation between all the newly independent republics, with a government ideally set-up solely to recognize and uphold individual rights, succumb to the pressures of particular interests throughout the region, which rejected that model and allegedly had little or no allegiance to liberal principles.

For this reason, and to prevent a break-up, Bolvar wanted to implement in Gran Colombia a more centralist model of government, including some or all of the elements of the Bolivian constitution he had written (which included a lifetime presidency with the ability to select a successor, though this was theoretically held in check by an intricate system of balances).

This move was considered controversial and was one of the reasons why the deliberations met with strong opposition. The convention almost ended up drafting a document which would have implemented a radically federalist form of government, which would have greatly reduced the powers of the central administration.

Unhappy with what would be the ensuing result, Bolvar’s delegates left the convention. After the failure of the convention due to grave political differences, Bolvar proclaimed himself dictator on August 27, 1828 through the "Organic Decree of Dictatorship".

He considered this as a temporary measure, as a means to reestablish his authority and save the republic, though it increased dissatisfaction and anger among his political opponents. An assassination attempt on September 25, 1828 failed, in part thanks to the help of his lover, Manuela Senz, according to popular belief.

Although Bolvar emerged physically intact from the event, this nevertheless greatly affected him. Dissident feelings continued, and uprisings occurred in New Granada, Venezuela and Ecuador during the next two years.

Death and Legacy
Bolvar finally resigned his presidency on April 27, 1830, intending to leave the country for exile in Europe, possibly in France. He had already sent several crates (containing his belongings and his writings) ahead of him to Europe.

He died before setting sail, after a painful battle with tuberculosis on December 17, 1830, in "La Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino", in Santa Marta, Colombia.

His remains were moved from Santa Marta to Caracas in 1842, where a monument was set up for his burial. The ‘Quinta’ near Santa Marta has been preserved as a museum with numerous references to his life.

Political legacy
On his deathbed, Bolvar asked his aide-de-camp, General Daniel Florencio O’Leary to burn the extensive archive of his writings, letters, and speeches. O’Leary disobeyed the order and his writings survived, providing historians with a vast wealth of information about Bolvar’s liberal philosophy and thought.

He was great admirer of the American Revolution and a great critic of the French Revolution. Bolvar described himself in his many letters as a "liberal" and defender of the free market economic system. Among the books he traveled with when he wrote the Bolivian Constitution were Montesquieu’s Spirit of the Laws and Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations.

Bolvar’s many speeches and writings reveal him to be an adherent of limited government, the separation of powers, freedom of religion, property rights, and the rule of law.

Relatives
Simn Bolvar has no direct descendants. His bloodline lives on through his sister Juana Bolvar y Palacios who married their maternal uncle Dionisio Palacios y Blanco and had two children: Guillermo and Benigna.

Guillermo died when fighting alongside his uncle in the battle of La Hogaza in 1817. Benigna Palacios y Bolvar married Pedro Amestoy. Their great-grandchildren, Pedro (94), and Eduardo Mendoza Goiticoa (90) live in Caracas. They are Simn Bolvar’s closest living relatives.

The central avenue of Caracas is called Avenida Bolivar, and at its end there is a twin tower complex named Centro Simon Bolivar built during the 1950s that holds several governmental offices.

Children


Image by Alicia Nijdam
I am used to travelling in other countries where the children would come up and ask for photos just so that they can see themselves on the digital screen. I thought these children wanted the same thing as they approached me asking for me to take their photo. In this situation however, as soon as I took the picture and showed it to them, they started asking me for money. I found this was common with many individuals, both adults and children, you would think that they wanted to help you or that they were just being kind, but usually they would want a tip or money for their interaction with you. Although it was not those individuals’ faults, as it was the economic situation that made them ask for money, it became frustrating at times when it felt like every interaction with anyone was based on the desire for them to get money off of us (this is a generalization - and we did meet wonderful locals who were super kind - so please don’t read that statement as me saying that every single person we met was like that).
