Tigre Partido is a partido or municipality of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, situated in the north of Greater Buenos Aires. The department covers a large section of the Paran Delta and its low-lying islands. The main town of the division is Tigre; other towns include Don Torcuato, El Talar, General Pacheco, Benavdez.

The partido is bound to the north by the Paran de las Palmas River, to the northeast by the Ro de la Plata, to the southeast by San Fernando Partido, to the south by San Martn Partido, to the southwest by Malvinas Argentinas Partido and to the west by Escobar Partido. Its total area including the islands is 368 km and its population was 257,228 as of 1991.

The current mayor is Julio Zamora, from the Front for Victory party.

The partido was originally named ‘Las Conchas’ after a local river (now known as the Reconquista River), but became popularly known as ‘Tigre’ in the 19th century. Tigre was also the name of a stream and is thought to derive from the tigres or jaguars seen in the area when first settled. The municipality officially changed its name to Tigre in 1952.

A port was first built at the mouth of the Las Conchas river, which itself became known as Las Conchas. It served the islands and became an important strategic and smuggling point, targeted by Portuguese, English and Spanish invaders. The partido was officially founded in 1790, but the settlements were hit by floods and the town was moved to the present site of Tigre, at the mouth of the Lujn River by 1820.

Argentine author Jorge Luis Borges said about Tigre: “no other city do I know that adjoins a secret group of green islands, which get lost at unknown waters of such a slow river that literature called it frozen…”

Colonial Times

The history of Tigre dates back to a port on the banks of Las Conchas River, which gave origin to Las Conchas Village. The port was used by the ships sailing the Paran River to or from Paraguay and also by those who carried wood, coal and firewood from the Delta to Buenos Aires. Las Conchas River (named after the sea shell debris that was abundant in the riverbed) is now called Reconquista and runs along Liniers street. The hamlet surrounding the port grew as its strategic importance increased, mostly since the XVIII century. By 1780 a church had already been built and the parishwas established at that time. Many river rises, floods and heavy rainstorms hit the area. One of the first historically registered catastrophes occurred in early June 1805, when Las Conchas village was almost devastated by a heavy rainstorm that made the river overflow its banks. Most of the people moved to higher nearby lands where San Fernando village was founded, and a channel was built to be used as a new port. The village was deserted and almost completely abandoned. In August 1820 it was destroyed by a tornado once again. The rising floodwaters trapped the port entrance. At the same time the outflow of water came out through a small stream called Tigre, causing the widening of its bed and turning it into a river. The port was then moved to its present location by the Tigre River and in time the village was named Tigre.

Promotion of the Paran River Delta in the XIX century

Supply barge in Tigre, still the easiest access to many points along the delta.

During the second half of the XIX century the area became economically and socially more important, mainly due to Domingo F. Sarmiento, president of Argentina from 1868 to 1872. Sarmiento insisted on the favourable development possibilities of the islands and fought for the rights of settlers to own the land they were working on. His house on the island has been turned into a museum that lies on the bank of the river that bears his name. In those decades the country underwent a significant immigration process and many of those immigrants settled on the islands. The railway line to San Fernando, which arrived in 1863 and reached Tigre in 1865, improved communications with Buenos Aires and eased trade of Delta products, basically fresh fruit and its by-products such as fruit juice, jams and cider. Likewise, the train allowed one-day visits by city dwellers. This favoured the setting up of places to spend the day on the islands, called recreos, and aroused interest in rowing along the quiet waters.

Island dwellers

The earliest inhabitants of the islands were indigenous groups called guaranes. In colonial times there was no stable population but nomadic hunters or firewood and coal seekers. Occasionally, it was also a smuggler’s hiding place. From the moment Sarmiento encouraged development, new settlers came to the islands to live of the commercial exploitation of their products. Construction materials from the islands included sun-dried bricks, rush, straw and wood. The simple huts made from these materials were followed by houses made entirely of wood.

Delta economy

Moors on the delta, Tigre.

The early inhabitants lived mostly by hunting and fishing and on small palm coconuts (cocos australis). A few tribes sowed corn and peanuts, and grew fruit trees. In colonial times the area supplied Buenos Aires with firewood and coal. Later on, fruit growing prevailed up to 1940.That year a river rise spoiled most plants and the crisis provoked a mass departure of a large part of the population. The emergence of new fruit markets in other regions of the country hindered the recovery of this traditional economy resource. Other regional products are wicker baskets and pieces of furniture. The cultivation of osier (salix sp), which is native to European and Asiancold and temperate regions, was proposed by Sarmiento because it can resist floods. Another plant that adapts to floodable lands is New Zealand flax (phormium tenax), which was industrialised as from 1925 and is used in containers, burlap, cords, threads, runners and mats. By the end of the XX century, the competence with synthetic fibres made New Zealand flax plantations anti-economic. Fishing and coypu breeding are other economic activities that are no longer attractive. Developments in the area include apiculture, camellia and azalea nurseries, handicrafts and timber. At the Delta Products Market of Tigre, various Delta products are sold.

Islanders’ social life, tourism: The “Recreos”

Coast Amusement Park, Tigre.

Towards the end of the XIX century islanders became aware of their identity. They shared their common interest and troubles in the Delta journal, founded in 1933 by a Hungarian immigrant called Sandor Mikler. At that time 20.000 people lived on the islands and the population peaked at 40.000 in the following years. In 1936 local producers and entrepreneurs founded an association called “Consejo de Productores Isleos” (island producers board) and the following year they declared 31 October to be “islanders day”. The celebration takes place every year with the attendance of local authorities and neighbours. There was an intense social activities on the islands with weekly meetings at the numerous clubs in the area. Weddings were celebrated either in the coastal villages, such as Campana or San Fernando, or in the island chapels. To facilitate religious service on the islands, a floating church to sail along the rivers was set up. As the service was rather expensive it was discontinued towards 1952. The bell tower is now exhibited at the Police Station in Parana de las Palmas and Carapachay, as a remembrance of those days. A procession by boat was made by the first time in 1923. Even today, this feast is celebrated on 8 December, the Immaculate Conception day. The procession is headed by the image of Virgin Mary on board of a boat of the “Prefectura Naval Argentina” (national coast guard) and is followed by all types of boats, big and small, commercial and private, all of them decked out for the event. A lot of spectators applaud the march from the banks of the Lujan River.

The golden years of Tigre

Argentine Rowing Club, Tigre.

Rowing was one of the main attractions that fuelled the boom of the area. Rowing practice had started in the south of Buenos Aires and little by little was moved to the Lujn river due to the tranquility and beauty of the place. President Sarmiento was present at the first regatta organised on 8 December, 1873. The event was so successful that the existing rowing clubs moved to Tigre, and new ones were founded by members of the various foreign communities residing in Buenos Aires. Yachting started to be practised in 1883, when the “Yacht Club Argentino”, whose headquarters were later moved to San Fernando, was founded, and then at the “Tigre Sailing Club”. The Tigre Hotel, was opened in 1890 on the bank of the Lujan River, and next to it the Tigre Club was opened in 1912. These elegant buildings became meeting places for the social elite of the “Belle poque”. The Hotel was demolished in 1940 but the Club is still there today and has been declared a National Historic Monument.

Hashmarks: Week 4 Review

Week 4 saw NFL teams begin resting in their bye weeks.  Minnesota, Kansas City, Dallas and Tampa Bay got an early off day and got to enjoy the NFL as fans of the sport.  Desperate 0-3 teams looked to finally get a win and save their season.  High-flying 3-0 teams looked to extend their early success.  Of course, the storylines weren’t limited to just those teams.  Let’s see what happened in a very eventful week 4:

Pittsburgh, Chicago fall

The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Chicago Bears were both off to surprising 3-0 starts, despite each team having a major problem on offense (Steelers down to their 4th QB, Bears with a terrible offensive line).  Both problems finally caused the teams to lose on Sunday.  Pittsburgh had a difficult task, facing their division foes the Baltimore Ravens.  Although they were able to stay close and even take the lead in the 4th quarter, ultimately the Steelers’ inability to generate offense caught up to them, as QB Joe Flacco threw a late TD to notch a 17-14 win.  Steelers QB Charlie Batch threw for just 141 yards in a conservative offense, allowing the Ravens to stack the box against their running game.  However, following the Steelers’ bye next week they will get back QB Ben Roethlisberger from suspension, meaning their problems will be short-lived.  The Bears’ problems, however, may not go away any time soon.  Their offensive line failed in spectacular fashion against the New York Giants, as they allowed a league-record 9 sacks in the first half en route to a 17-3 loss.  QB Jay Cutler was hit so hard and so often that he left the game with a concussion at halftime.  Things only got worse from there, as backup Todd Collins had to leave the game in the 4th quarter following a big hit from LB Michael Boley.  The Bears were already being painted as a paper tiger due to the flimsy nature of their first three wins, and this loss will only fuel the flames.  If they have to go with 3rd-string QB Caleb Hanie for an extended period, their season will be over.  Incredibly, this leaves the Kansas City Chiefs, 4-12 last year, as the lone remaining undefeated team.

Philadelphia’s QB triangle

Donovan McNabb was traded this offseason after 11 mostly successful years quarterbacking the Philadelphia Eagles.  His unceremonious departure was even more stinging because the Eagles traded him to a division rival, the Washington Redskins, suggesting they didn’t believe he was a threat.  McNabb returned to Philadelphia in week 4, emerging to cheers from the normally hostile Philadelphia crowd as he led the Redskins against his former team.  Cheers quickly turned to boos as McNabb engineered three scoring drives in the first half, earning his team a 17-0 lead they would never relinquish in a 17-12 victory.  Adding insult to injury (or would it be the opposite in this case?), Eagles QB Michael Vick was knocked out in the 2nd quarter when he was sandwiched by two defenders on a running play.  Initial reports say he has a rib injury, and Vick had to be replaced by Kevin Kolb, who opened the season as the starter.  While Kolb wasn’t a total disaster, his penchant for shorter, lower-risk completions hamstrung the Eagles’ offense, and he played to a chorus of boos.  With Vick expected to miss time with his injuries, Kolb will now have to try to run the offense behind a subpar offensive line that allowed many hits on the mobile Vick.  McNabb, for his part, took the high road when asked about the Eagles after the game, though he reminded his teammates that “everyone makes mistakes.”

Struggling Super Bowl participants

The Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints both started 13-0 last season en route to their meeting in Super Bowl XLIV.  It’s a new season however, and neither team is looking particularly good at this juncture.  The Saints are losing running backs left and right, and needed a late FG to hold off the winless Carolina Panthers, 16-14.  Despite starting rookie QB Jimmy Clausen, the Panthers got TDs from both of their running backs to nearly pull off the upset.  QB Drew Brees was accurate as expected, but his yardage was down as the defense forced him into shorter throws.  With the offense looking nothing like the explosive unit of the past few seasons, Brees and the Saints will have to adjust themselves if they want to stay dominant.  But at least they still won, unlike the Colts, who were upset by the Jacksonville Jaguars 31-28.  Their defense was simply unable to slow down RB Maurice Jones-Drew, who ran for over 120 yards and scored 2 TDs.  The offense had problems running the ball again, and key turnovers in the red zone kept the game close enough.  Although it took a 59-yard FG by K Josh Scobee at the buzzer, the Jaguars probably saved the jobs of coach Jack Del Rio and QB David Garrard for at least another couple of weeks.  The Colts are now in a very uncomfortable position, sitting at 2-2 with two divisional losses already this season.

The Offensive Rookie of the Year?

No one can say they truly feel sorry for St. Louis Rams QB Sam Bradford.  He is getting paid a guaranteed  million to play football for a living.  But many fans felt bad that he was going to a terrible Rams team that had just 1 win in 2009 and five wins in its past three seasons.  Bradford, however, took it as a challenge, and incredibly has the Rams at 2-2 following a 20-3 win over the Seattle Seahawks.  While Bradford hasn’t been the explosive stat machine he was at Oklahoma (6 INTs in four games), he has quickly embraced the role of franchise QB.  He is becoming more and more confident by the week, and is showing the ability to bounce back quickly from mistakes that he figures to make often in the early stages of his career.  With two wins so far this season, the Rams are already ahead of last year’s pace and should finish with their most wins since 2006.  While there have been improvements on the defense, Bradford is the biggest reason for their early success, and he figures to only get better as he gains experience.  Maybe the Rams didn’t make such a bad pick after all.

Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it

The San Francisco 49ers have had their fair share of bad moments during their 0-3 start to their season.  But this one may have pushed them over the edge into oblivion.  Last year, in a game against the Atlanta Falcons, veteran CB Dre’ Bly intercepted a pass from QB Matt Ryan.  Running it back, he quickly began showboating in celebration, not realizing the impending danger posed by Falcons WR Roddy White.  White easily caught up to Bly, punching the ball out for Atlanta to recover.  The Falcons proceeded with their 45-10 win from there.  On Sunday, the 49ers were up 14-13 against these same Falcons.  Late in the game, the Falcons were driving for a game-winning FG when Ryan was intercepted, this time by veteran CB Nate Clements.  With just over one minute left in the game, Clements simply had to go down and the Niners, barring a miracle, would win the game.  Instead, he ran towards the end zone trying to score an unnecessary TD.  Once again, Roddy White sprinted back and caught Clements.  Once again, White punched the ball out of Clements’ hands.  Once again, the Falcons recovered.  From there, they got back into FG range, and K Matt Bryant drilled a 46-yard FG to win the game, 16-14.  Terrible mistakes like this are a big reason why the 49ers have lost their first 4 games, but in the weak NFC West division they still have a chance to get back into the playoff picture.

Palacio De Bellas Artes

History

The earliest known structure on the site was the Convent of Santa Isabel, whose church was built in 1680. However, significant Aztec finds, such as a sacrificial altar in the shape of a plumed serpent have been found here. The convent area suffered frequent flooding during the early colonial period and development here grew slowly. In spite of this, the convent remained until it was forcibly closed in the 1860s by the Reform Laws. It was replaced by a textile mill and lower-class housing.

Facade of the Palacio

A section of this housing, on Santa Isabel Alley, was torn down and replaced by the National Theater in the latter 19th century. During the late 19th century and very early 20th, this theatre was the site of most of Mexico City high culture, presenting events such as theatre, operettas, Viennese dance and more. It was then decided to replace this building with a more opulent one for the upcoming Centennial of Mexican Independence celebrations in 1910. The old theatre was demolished in 1901, and the new theatre would be called the Gran Teatro de pera. The work was awarded to Italian architect Adamo Boari, who favored neoclassical and art nouveau styles and who is responsible for the Palacio del Correo which is across the street. Adamo Boari promised in October of 1904 to build grand metallic structure, which at that time only existed in the United States, but not to this size. The first stone of the building was place by Porfirio Daz in 1904. Despite the 1910 deadline, by 1913, the building was hardly begun with only a basic shell. One reason for this is that the project became more complicated than anticipated as the heavy building sank into the soft spongy subsoil. The other reason was the political and economic instability that would lead to the Mexican Revolution. Full hostilities suspended construction of the palace completely and Adamo Boari returned to Italy.

The project would sit unfinished for about twenty years. In 1932, construction resumed under Mexican architect Federico Mariscal. Mariscal completed the interior but updated it from Boari plans to the more modern Art Deco style. The building was completely finished in 1934, and was inaugurated on 29 September of that year. The inaugural work presented in the theatre was “La Verdad Sospechosa” by Juan Ruiz de Alarcn in 1934. In 1946, the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes (National Institute of the Fine Arts) was created as a government agency promote the arts and was initially housed at the Museo Nacional de Artes Plasticas, the Museo del Libro and other places. It is now at the Palacio.

In this theatre, Maria Callas debuted in the opera orma in 1950.

In 2002, the Palace was the scene of the funeral of Mara Flix.

Temporary wall around the building during renovations with artistic graffiti

Since its initial construction, very little has been updated or modified. However, intensive renovation efforts were begun in 2009 for the upcoming 2010 celebrations. Much of the equipment and machinery is original from the early 20th century. Much of the technological equipment is being updated, especially in the theatre which needs computerized lights, sound systems and other improvements. Other work will improve the acoustics. Upgrades to the theatre will allow for multimedia shows which were not available before. The main hall has had no renovation or upgrade work since it opened in 1934. Renovations here will lessen the number of people the hall can accommodate but should make the area more comfortable.

The building

Interior on third floor

The palace has a mixture of a number of architectural styles; however, it is principally Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Art Nouveau dominates the exterior, which was done by Adamo Boari, and the inside is dominated by Art Deco, which was completed by Federico Mariscal. Since construction began in 1904, the theater (which opened in 1934) has sunk some four meters into the soft soil of Mexico City. The main facade, which faces Avenida Jurez, is made of white Italian Carrera marble. In the interior of the portal are sculptures by Italian Leonardo Bistolfi. It consists of armony, surrounded by ain, age, appiness, eace and ove. Another portion of the facade contains cherubs and sculptures representing music and inspiration. On the plaza front of the building, designed by Boari, there are four Pegasus sculptures which were made by Catalan Agust Querol Subirats. These had been in the Zocalo before being brought here. The roof covering the center of the building is made of crystal designed by Hungarian Geza Marotti and depicts the muses with Apollo. One aspect of the Palace which has since disappeared is the ergola, which was located in the Alameda. It was constructed to house pictorial exhibitions for the 1910 celebrations, but it was demolished in 1973.

Image of Chac on a light panel

The interior is also surfaced in Carrera marble. It divides into three sections: the main hall with adjoining smaller exhibition halls, the theatre and the offices of the Insituto Nacional de Bellas Artes. The main hall is covered by the Marotti glass and iron roof. It and the balconies of all three upper floors can be seen from the ground floor below. In areas of the main hall, pre-Hispanic motifs done in Art Deco style, such as serpents heads on window arches and Maya Chac masks on the vertical light panels distinguish this interior from its contemporaries. The smaller exhibition halls are located on the first and second floors. The first floor is decorated with crystal lamps, created by Edgar Brandt and hold murals by Rufino Tamayo. The Adamo Boari and Manuel E. Ponce halls hold music and literature events. And the National and International halls are for exhibitions. The second floor has smaller exhibition halls as well as murals by Jos Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Diego Rivera, Jorge Gonzlez Camarena, Roberto Montenegro and Manuel Rodrguez Lozano. The third floor is occupied by the Museum of Architecture. The ironwork was designed in Italy by Alessandro Mazzucotelli and in Mexico by Luis Romero Soto.

At the entrance of the theatre, there are mascarons in bronze with depictions of Tlaloc, and Chac, the Aztec and Mayan deities of water, which along with the rest were designed by Gianette Fiorenzo. On the arch over the stage are representations of various mythological personas such as the Muses with Apollo. This was constructed in Hungary in the workshops of Geza Maroti. However, the most impacting aspect is the stage urtain which is a stained glass foldable panel created out of nearly a million pieces of iridescent pieces of colored glass by Tiffany in New York. This stage curtain is the only one of its type in any opera house in the world and weighs 24 tons. The design of the curtain has the volcanos Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl in the center. Around them is a Mexican landscape and this is surrounded by images of sculptures from Yautepec and Oaxaca. This design was inspired by work done by artist Gerardo Murrillo (Dr. Atl) . The theatre has a capacity of 1,000.

Murals

Torment of Cuauhtemoc by Siqueiros

The floors between the ground floor and the uppermost floor are dominated by a number of murals painted by most of the famous names of Mexican muralism. On the 2nd floor are two early-1950s works by Rufino Tamayo: Mxico de Hoy (Mexico Today) and Nacimiento de la Nacionalidad (Birth of Nationality), a symbolic depiction of the creation of the mestizo (person of mixed indigenous and Spanish ancestry) identity. At the west end of the 3rd floor is El Hombre En El Cruce de Caminos (Man at the Crossroads), originally commissioned for New York’s Rockefeller Center in 1933. A giant vacuum sucks up the riches of the earth to feed the factories of card-playing, hard-drinking white capitalist thugs , including John D. Rockefeller himself while workers rally behind the red flag of socialism and its standard-bearer, Lenin. The Rockefellers were not happy with the painting and had it painted over and destroyed. Rivera recreated it here in 1934. On the north side of the third floor are David Alfaro Siqueiros’ three-part La Nueva Democraca (New Democracy) and Rivera’s four-part Carnaval de la Vida Mexicana (Carnival of Mexican Life); to the east is Jos Clemente Orozco’s La Katharsis (Catharsis), depicting the conflict between humankind’s ‘social’ and ‘natural’ aspects.

Post Hair Restoration Complications: Redness, Folliculitis, Swelling

A few months ago, at a Halloween party, a middle-aged man I met confided in me that he had had a hair transplant done in San Diego. He spoke about a minor post-surgical matter. This fellow party-goer was experiencing minor pain and tenderness on the recipient transplant areas like his hairline and crown. In addition, he saw what looked like red zits and scalp bumps in the same area as well.

Sensing I knew something about hair restoration procedures, he asked me, “am I supposed to be on antibiotics? Will this hinder hair growth in a timely manner?”

Inflammation of hair follicles, or folliculitis, especially of the hair, is considered normal in many patients and may be seen a few days after hair transplant surgery. In some cases, folliculitis may re-occur for as long as a few months after surgery as well.

Antibiotics are not a requirement to be taken unless the lesions do not get better on their own, or if cellulitis (infection and inflammation of the tissues beneath the skin), or skin redness and swelling become evident due to infection. This is considered rare on the scalp but still notable.

Also, folliculitis does not create an issue to the growth of transplanted hair and, in most cases, does not require any special treatment. The lesions usually open on their own but if they persist for more than two to three weeks, I suggest the person to revisit their hair transplant surgeon and have him open and drain the lesions.

For other cosmetic-related questions and answers, do a Web search on Dysport in Orange County. Also, if you’re curious about juviderm, restylane, or botox, check out an Woodland Hills Plastic Surgery center.
