Throat Sick Red Spots
During the administration of President Carlos Antonio Lopez, Asuncion experienced great changes. We mentioned Hipolito Sanchez Quell, quoting John Giurua that "between 1840 and 1864 Asunción was enriched with numerous buildings of great importance, both civil and religious order, which today are considered as beautiful examples of neoclassical architecture."
The Journey of Francisco Solano López to Europe exerted great influence on this transformation, with He came two renowned architects: Italian and English Ravizza Alejandro Alonso Taylor.
I share with you some pictures of the buildings at that time, we have captured pictures with my students on a trip we made a few days at Assumption. The information at the bottom of the picture were taken from the book Origin and History of Asuncion, Paraguay. Private

My Cats Incontinent What Are Solutions
THE DAY CHART: DAILY REPUBLICAN (1913-1939)
In 1913 appeared a newspaper called the Republican-leaning Castilian Day Chart. Its name is due to preferential space devoted to photo information, allowing photojournalists to work. In its early days included a prominent caption that literally defined as "the only newspaper in the morning perfectly illustrated by the gravure process." Graphic information such as considered that, not just a fill or spectacle, but a significant contribution to the spread of the reality of yesterday to be read but also watch. Printing and workshops were initially placed in Nos. 37, 39 and 41 of the street de la Boqueria, but then moved into the number 49 Muntaner Street, having the entrance to the building at number 8 of the passage of Mercy. The creator of this newspaper inspired by the Daily Mirror of London was electric industrial Josep Pitch i Pon, radical Republican who became mayor of Barcelona and Governor General of Catalonia, by replacing the President of the Generalitat during the biennium Black. The newspaper noted especially because it included photographs inside, especially in the centerfold, and he did seven years before the Madrid newspaper ABC, in an era in which these publications were very few graphic reports in its interior and almost always limited on the covers. The last two pages were reserved for advertising.
Its internal structure was different from other newspapers about the order of the sections concerned. So on the front pages of local information came after the sports and entertainment, and secondly, regional information, the national information and finally the international news. In the center pages where graphic information was also included stories weekly. During the years of World War I, on the cover showed often seen images on the development of the war.
Over the years, was changing the layout of the header, always very classic and elegant. For some years this header used to be accompanied by an image of the city of Barcelona that was changing with time and place of perspective, and panoramic images of various cities and towns throughout Spain.
With the advent of the Second Republic, the republican left was favored by a major shift in Republican-leaning daily locals and written in Castilian that disappointed by the radicalism would be inclined to sympathize for those parties that would later form the Popular Front. Among them was
the outbreak of the Civil War, the progressive restriction of impoverished paper editions with less pages and photographs, a smaller format and header design more functional and less classical. However, it became an outstanding spokesman for the Republican side during the years of conflict. The reporters, mostly with a clear liberal position, began practicing a new form of independent reporting, where the photographer could have access to places where I've never managed to reach. He particularly stressed the photographer Agustí Centelles. His magnificent photographs of the Catalan front during the Civil War, he took with his Leica camera mode modern reporter, will be impressive but they are still, however, less valued than those by foreign correspondents. Their participation in the Army Photographic Services Catalan led him into exile until 1944.
After appearing a special issue on January 27, 1939, Chart Day was not allowed to re-edit and finally disappeared.
