PROJECT 21 2ND QTR: ARCHITECTURE ++++++++ The Guadiana International Bridge (Spanish: Puente Internacional del Guadiana; Portuguese: Ponte Internacional do Guadiana) is a bridge that crosses the Guadiana River connecting southern Spain (town of Ayamonte) and Portugal (town of Castro Marim). It is the southernmost land crossing on the Portugal–Spain border. It is not split evenly between the two countries, a greater share of it situated in Portugal. Completed in 1991, its structural type is a cable-stayed bridge, with a deck of prestressed concrete. The bridge was designed by the Portuguese Structural Engineer Professor José Luis Câncio Martins on behalf of Huarte S.A. (now Obrascón Huarte Lain) and Teixeira Duarte. The bridge is open to vehicles only. It is the third longest bridge in Portugal and one of the longest in Spain. The bridge is 666 metres long with the central span between the towers being 324 metres. The deck stands 20 metres above the river, allowing the navigation of ships of deep draft. The two towers of the bridge are 95 and 96 metres tall, respectively.[1] The Spanish side tower rests on an artificial island built on the riverbed, while the pillar on the Portuguese side is on land. The bridge connects the Via do Infante de Sagres A22 motorway (Portugal) to the Autopista del Quinto Centenario A-49 Motorway (Spain), and is part of the European route E1.

SHC43-Eggs Eggs from our hens which are in total freedom. The only problem is to find the eggs! The white ones are in reality light blue, very difficult to render the tone in photography.

Maybe the most dangerous item in my place. No liquid poison but dry remains inside. Arrow poison vial probably originating from the Ivory Coast. Poisoned arrows were used in Africa, South America and Asia by hunter-gatherer populations. In West Africa, strophantine is the most frequently used poison. Extracted from plants of the Apocynaceae family (e.g. Strophantus sarmentosus), strophantine is a cardiotonic heteroside related to digitalis and ouabain. Once used medicinally, strophantine was abandoned because of its high toxicity. ++++++++ Pfeilgiftfläschchen, das vermutlich aus der Elfenbeinküste stammt. Vergiftete Pfeile wurden in Afrika, Südamerika und Asien von Jäger- und Sammlerpopulationen verwendet. In Westafrika ist Strophantin das am häufigsten verwendete Gift. Das aus Pflanzen der Familie der Apocynaceae (z.B. Strophantus sarmentosus) gewonnene Strophantin ist ein kardiotonisches Heterosid, ähnlich wie Digitalis und Ouabain. Früher in der Medizin verwendet, wurde Strophantin wegen seiner hohen Toxizität aufgegeben. +++++++++ Peut-être l'objet le plus dangereux chez moi. Pas de poison liquide mais des restes secs à l'intérieur. Fiole pour poison de flèches vraisemblablement originaire de Côte d’Ivoire. Les flèches empoisonnées étaient utilisées e Afrique, Amérique du Sud et Asie par les populations de chasseurs-cueilleurs. En Afrique de l’Ouest la strophantine est le poison le plus fréquemment utilisé. Extraite de plantes de la famille des Apocynacées (Strophantus sarmentosus par exemple) la strophantine est un hétéroside cardiotonique voisin de la digitaline et de l’ouabaïne. Autrefois utilisée en médecine la strophantine a été abandonnée du fait de sa haute toxicité. ++++++++++++++ IN PIP The second and more dangerous object is this Makhila, a sword used in the mountains to defend oneself from bears. Der zweitgefährlichste Gegenstand ist das Makhila, ein Schwert, das in den Bergen zur Verteidigung gegen Bären verwendet wird. Le deuxieme objet plus dangereux est ce Makhila, canne epee utilisee en montagne pour se defendre des ours.
