Obrazce v Blythe

Obrazce v Blythe (anglicky Blythe Intaglios) je skupina velkých kreseb postav na zemském povrchu. Nacházejí se asi 24 kilometrů od kalifornského městečka Blythe nedaleko toku řeky Colorado, kde při pohledu z výšky utvářejí komplexní obraz. Podobné kresby se nacházejí v Peru na plošině Nazca. Obrazce jsou velmi staré a podle tvrzení Indiánů z kmene Quechan představují božstva. Největší postava, nazývaná Mastamho a zobrazující člověka s rozpřaženýma rukama, měří 52 metrů. Geoglyfy vznikly odklizením tmavších kamenů z povrchu země, čímž se obnažil světlý písek. Doba jejich vzniku není známa, radiokarbonová metoda datování připouští stáří pět set až tři tisíce let. Svět se o existenci obrazců dozvěděl až v roce 1932, kdy si jich náhodou všiml pilot letadla. Lokalita byla roku 1975 zapsána na seznam National Register of Historic Places.

Blythe Intaglios

Blythe Intaglios es un sitio arqueológico compuesto por 5 geoglifos que son figuras halladas en el suelo, cerca de la localidad californiana de Blythe. Estas figuras se localizan en la vertiente oriental de las montañas Big María, a unos veinte kilómetros al norte del centro de Blythe y muy cerca de la ribera del río Colorado. La más grande de estas figuras mide alrededor de cincuenta metros de longitud. Para observarlas mejor, es necesario subirse en una aeronave. Las figuras son del tipo negativo, o sea que fueron realizadas mediante la remoción de una parte de la superficie para dejar al descubierto la figura en una suerte de bajorrelieve excavado sobre el duro suelo de la región. Esta técnica —cuyo nombre en inglés es intaglio, de donde el nombre del sitio arqueológico— es similar a la que emplearon los habitantes del desierto de Nazca para crear los geoglifos de aquella región. Al parecer, las figuras tienen una antigüedad de entre 500 y 2000 años, y están relacionadas con la cultura Pataya del área de Oasisamérica. De acuerdo con los indios Mojave y Quechan, antiguos habitantes de la región, las figuras humanas representan a Mastamho, el creador de la vida. Las figuras de animales representan a Hatakulya, uno de los dos hombres-puma que ayudaron a crear el mundo. Antiguamente, Blythe Intaglios fue escenario de ceremonias indígenas a honra de la creación. Referencias Blythe Intaglios, A Photo Gallery, James Q.

Blythe Intaglios

Les Blythe Intaglios sont un groupe de géoglyphes situés près de Blythe, en Californie, dans le désert du Colorado, près des montagnes Big Maria. Les géoglyphes ont probablement été réalisés par les Nord-Amérindiens Mojaves et Quechans. Ils sont d'une taille importante, ce qui fait qu'ils ont été découverts par des non-Amérindiens seulement dans les années 1930 à la suite d'un survol aérien. L'ensemble des géoglyphes comprend plusieurs dizaines de formes et personnages, ainsi qu'un labyrinthe. Le site est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques et au California Historical Landmark.

Блайтские фигуры

Блайтские фигуры (англ. Blythe Intaglios) — группа гигантских фигур, геоглифов, образованных путём расчистки верхнего слоя земли от камней, расположенных близ современного города Блайт, на юге штата Калифорния в США. По технике исполнения они подобны геоглифам Наски. Предполагается, что возраст фигур составляет от 450 до 2000 лет. Согласно преданиям современных обитателей низовий реки Колорадо, индейцев племён мохаве и квечанов, человеческие фигуры изображали Мастамбо, создателя всего живого, а фигуры животных изображали Хатакулья, одного из двух пумо-людей, которые содействовали созданию мира. Фигуры случайно обнаружил пилот, летевший в Блайт из Лас-Вегаса, в 1932 году. После его сообщения памятники обследовал Артур Вудвард (Arthur Woodward), куратор истории и антропологии из Лос-Анджелесского музея естественной истории.

Блайтські фігури

Блайтські фігури, (Інтагліо (Мохаве)) англ. Blythe Intaglios — група гігантських фігур, геогліфи, утворених шляхом розчищення верхнього шару землі від каменів, розташованих поблизу сучасного міста Блайт, на півдні штату Каліфорнія, США. За технікою виконання вони подібні до геогліфи Наски. Вважається, що вік фігур становить від 450 до 2000 років. Згідно з переказами сучасних мешканців низовини річки Колорадо, індіанців племен мохаве і квечан, людські фігури зображували Мастамбо, творця всього живого, а фігури тварин зображували Хатакулья, одного з двох пумо-людей, які сприяли створенню світу. Фігури випадково виявив пілот, що летів в Блайт з Лас-Вегаса, в 1932 році.

Peaceful Valley Memorial Park

The Peaceful Valley Memorial Park is an abandoned cemetery located in Flagstaff, Arizona. Although the exact number of graves is unknown, it is estimated that about 140 bodies are buried there. There are also around 130 unfilled grave plots. The first burials date back to 1960 and the most recent burial was that of Billy Derryberry (1925–2000), a corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps in World War II. It is also the final resting place of numerous other U.S. war veterans, including Doyle Sprague (1918–1982), a private first-class in the U.S. Army during World War II; William Sarellana Jr. (1948–1972), a corporal in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Vietnam War; Kenneth Newton (1940–1961), a private first-class in the U.S. Army; and Dale Bird (1935–1971), U.S. Air Force. The cemetery, which lies between Old Walnut Canyon Road and a residential neighborhood, is now in a disarray due to a lack of upkeep by its multiple owners. The cemetery was left to more than a dozen heirs after the death of the original owner Kay Brockman. The owners have tried to sell the disheveled cemetery, but due to laws requiring privately owned for-profit cemeteries to keep a certain amount of money in a trust account for the upkeep and the fact that the plot is located in a flood plain, neither the City of Flagstaff nor any other organization has been willing to buy it.

Senat von Arizona

Der Senat von Arizona (Arizona State Senate) ist das Oberhaus der Arizona Legislature, der Legislative des US-Bundesstaates Arizona. Die Parlamentskammer setzt sich aus 30 Senatoren zusammen, die jeweils einen Wahldistrikt repräsentieren. Jede dieser festgelegten Einheiten umfasst eine Zahl von durchschnittlich 171.021 Einwohnern (Stand 2000). Die Senatoren werden jeweils für zweijährige Amtszeiten gewählt; eine Beschränkung der Amtszeiten existiert in der Hinsicht, dass jeweils nur vier nacheinander folgende Amtszeiten (acht Jahre) abgeleistet werden können. Der Sitzungssaal des Senats befindet sich gemeinsam mit dem Repräsentantenhaus im Arizona State Capitol in der Hauptstadt Phoenix. Aufgaben des Senats Wie in den Oberhäusern anderer US-Staaten und Territorien sowie im US-Senat fallen dem Senat von Arizona im Vergleich zum Repräsentantenhaus spezielle Aufgaben zu, die über die Gesetzgebung hinausgehen. So obliegt es dem Senat, Nominierungen des Gouverneurs in dessen Kabinett, weitere Ämter der Exekutive sowie Kommissionen und Behörden zu bestätigen oder zurückzuweisen. Struktur der Kammer Arizona ist neben Maine, Oregon und Wyoming einer von vier US-Staaten, die das Amt des Vizegouverneurs abgeschafft haben. Dieses Amt fungiert in den meisten Oberhäusern, sowie dem US-Repräsentantenhaus (mit dem Vizepräsidenten), als Oberhaupt der jeweiligen Parlamentskammer. Stattdessen wurde ein gesonderter Senatspräsident in Oregons Exekutive geschaffen. Der Senatspräsident nimmt nur an Abstimmungen teil, um bei Pattsituationen eine Entscheidung herbeizuführen. In Abwesenheit von ihm steht der jeweilige Präsident pro tempore den Plenarsitzungen vor. Dieser wird von der Mehrheitsfraktion des Senats gewählt und später durch die Kammer bestätigt. Derzeitiger Senatspräsident ist der Republikaner Warren Petersen aus dem 14. Wahlbezirk (Maricopa County); Präsident pro tempore ist der Republikaner T. J. Shope aus dem 16. Wahlbezirk (Maricopa County, Pima County und Pinal County). Zum Mehrheitsführer (Majority leader) der Republikaner wurde John Kavanagh aus dem 3. Wahlbezirk (Maricopa County) gewählt; Oppositionsführerin (Minority leader) ist die Demokratin Priya Sundareshan aus dem 18. Wahlbezirk (Pima County).

Arizona Senate

The Arizona State Senate is part of the Arizona Legislature, the state legislature of the US state of Arizona. The Senate consists of 30 members each representing an average of 219,859 constituents (2009 figures). Members serve two-year terms with term limits that limit Senators to a maximum four consecutive terms (eight years) before requiring a one-term respite prior to running again. Members of the Republican Party are currently the majority in the Senate. As with the Arizona House of Representatives, members to the Senate are elected from the same legislative districts as House members; however, one senator represents the constituency, while for the House there are two Representatives per district. This districting system is similar to those of the New Jersey, Idaho, and Washington State Senate. In political science, this type of legislative district is called a multi-member district. Like other upper houses of state and territorial legislatures and the federal United States Senate, the Senate can confirm or reject gubernatorial appointments to the state cabinet, commissions and boards. The Senate convenes in the adjacent legislative chambers at the Arizona State Capitol in Phoenix. Leadership Unlike in other states, where an elected lieutenant governor presides over the senate, in Arizona, the Senate elects its own presiding officer, the president of the Senate, who presides over the body, appoints members to all of the Senate's committees and to joint committees, and may create other committees and subcommittees if desired. The Senate president also appoints a president pro tempore, who serves for the duration of a session of the legislature, to preside in their absence, and may appoint a temporary president pro tempore in the absence of the president and president pro tempore. The current president of the Senate is Republican Warren Petersen of district 14, the Senate Majority Leader is Janae Shamp of district 29. The current minority leader is Priya Sundareshan of district 18 with Catherine Miranda of district 11 as the assistant minority leader.

Sun Circle

The Sun Circle is a sculpture located within the Rillito River Park, a Pima County linear park running along the banks of the Rillito River north of Tucson, Arizona. Inspired by the archaeoastronomy of the southwestern United States Ancestral Puebloans in locations such as Chaco Canyon, Sun Circle uses astronomical alignments to cast shadows and light through apertures (windows) to align with corresponding windows on equinoxes and solstices at sunrise and sunset. Description The sculpture is an outdoor circular concrete pad 50 feet (15.2 m) in diameter circumscribed by eight walls 7 feet (2.1 m) high by 12 feet (3.7 m) wide. Four of the walls are in the cardinal directions, with four adjacent walls situated at angular distances of 23.4 degrees (corresponding with the axial tilt of the Earth) north and south of the east and west walls. The cardinal East and West walls have square windows, the four adjacent walls have isosceles trapezoid windows. At sunrise of any given day, the sunlight hitting the eastern walls will cast shadows across the circle, as light passes through the windows. As the Sun rises the shadows will shorten, appearing to shrink away from the western walls until the Sun reaches solar noon. The shadows of the three western walls then grow towards the eastern walls as the Sun continues west. On the day of a summer solstice at daybreak sunlight passing through the window of the northeastern wall also passes through the window of the southwestern wall. As the Sun rises the light through the window travels down a path sandblasted into the southwestern wall and then travels along a line marked in the circular concrete pad. At late afternoon the sunlight through the window travels up a sandblasted path in the northeastern wall until at sunset the sunlight passes through both the northwestern and southeastern windows. Winter solstice is similar except the sunlight first passes through the southeastern and northwestern windows at daybreak and passes through the southwestern and northeastern windows at sunset. On the Equinox sunlight passing through all three eastern windows passes through the three corresponding western windows at daybreak and through the three western windows to the three corresponding windows at sunset.

El Desert Botanical Garden (literalment jardí botànic del desert) és un jardí botànic de 20 ha situat a Papago Park a la ciutat de Phoenix (Arizona), als Estats Units. Aquest jardí va ser creat per l'Arizona Cactus and Native Flora Society el 1937 i establert en aquest indret el 1939. Referències Enllaços externs Desert Botanical Garden - Lloc web oficial (anglès)
Desert Botanical Garden

Desert Botanical Garden is a 140-acre (57 ha) botanical garden located in Papago Park, at 1201 N. Galvin Parkway in Phoenix, central Arizona. Founded by the Arizona Cactus and Native Flora Society in 1937 and established at this site in 1939, the garden now has more than 50,000 plants in more than 4,000 taxa, one-third of which are native to the area, including 379 species which are rare, threatened or endangered. Of special note are the rich collections of agave (4,026 plants in 248 taxa) and cacti (13,973 plants in 1,320 taxa), especially the Opuntia sub-family. Plants from less extreme climate conditions are protected under shadehouses. It focuses on plants adapted to desert conditions, including an Australian collection, a Baja California collection and a South American collection. Several ecosystems are represented: a mesquite bosque, semi-desert grassland, and upland chaparral. Desert Botanical Garden has been designated as a Phoenix Point of Pride. History In the 1930s, a small group of local citizens became interested in conserving the fragile desert environment. One was Swedish botanist Gustaf Starck, who found like-minded residents by posting a sign, "Save the desert", with an arrow pointing to his home. In April 1934 they formed the Arizona Cactus and Native Flora Society (ACNFS) to sponsor a botanical garden to encourage an understanding, appreciation and promotion of the uniqueness of the world's deserts, particularly the local Sonoran Desert. Eventually Gertrude Webster, whose home encompassed all of what is today the neighborhood of Arcadia, joined the Society. She offered her encouragement, connections and financial support to establish the botanical garden in Papago Park. Margaret Bell Douglas provided support as well, donating 1,500 specimens to the herbarium. Webster served as president of the Society's first Board of Directors and Gustaf Starck, W. E. Walker, Rell Hasket, L. L. Kreigbaum, and Samuel Wilson were the five vice president. The latter also served as Treasurer. Paul G. Olsen was Secretary. In 1938, after much work by the ACNFS, the board hired the Garden's first executive director, George Lindsay, who oversaw the first planting on the grounds. The Desert Botanical Garden opened in 1939 as a non-profit museum dedicated to research, education, conservation and display of desert plants. Education and art The Garden offers specialized tours, workshops and lectures on desert landscaping and horticulture, nature art and photography, health and wellness. The Garden presents Spring and Fall open-air acoustic concert series, art exhibitions, and Las Noches de las Luminarias since 1978. The Luminarias Festival became a Southwestern Holiday tradition featuring live music by the flickering lights of 8000 hand-lit luminaria.
