How Long Does The Effect Of Plan B

retain traditional varieties Polynesian coconut

We had the pleasure of receiving a letter from the association Te Mana O Te Moana, incorporating a decision of the family of Marlon Brando and Pacific Company Beachcomber SC.
This letter confirms the integration of five blocks of the famous atoll of Tetiaroa, which was acquired for 99 years by actor Marlon Brando, in the conservatory project "POLYMOTU.

Five varieties of traditional Polynesian coconut Tetiaroa will therefore be kept at a rate of one variety per block.

The "Polymotu" provides for the planting of 25 varieties of coconut over fifty islands and remote valleys and the fact of starting with a symbolic dimension Tetiaroa gives very positive project.
That said, we still have another 45 islands and valleys to find ....

Rescue in extremis coconut horned Tetiaroa!

A rare coconut with horn was present on the atoll motu Onetahi Tetiaroa . Only Teihotu, son of Marlon Brando, knew the exact location of a coconut tree. Teihotu also refused to disclose this location. In 2006, he gave me a fruit (very old, therefore sterile) of the coconut. I still have this fruit, which I thoroughly aired the photographs (see message of 17 February 2009 published in this blog).
It turns out that coconut to the location kept secret has been killed by mistake during the recent motu Onetahi amenities. This is sometimes the price of secrecy ...
So we asked to search among the nuts fall to the ground while some had the characteristics of coconut with horn.
Cecile Gaspar, President of the association Te Mana O Te Moana, was able to find ten seeds that could be transferred to the nursery. Some of these seeds germinated, as shown in the photos below cons. If the coconut to horn has disappeared, at least their genes they are saved, and we will find coconut palms in this horned offspring.
In 2006, when I was on Tetiaroa, we asked Teihotu, son of Marlon Brando to collect seeds and coconut horned planting. Since then, Teihotu moved Tetiaroa. During my visit to Tahiti in 2009, I was unable to contact him.
In contrast, according to Cecilia, it appears that he followed my advice and has him also planted some plants in coconut horn yet he will know precisely where these young coconuts are located.
One of the thirteen islands of Tetiaroa should be replanted with coconut seeds with horns, while retaining the other plant species. These seeds come from Tetiaroa but also other islands in French Polynesia in which lurk a few coconuts to horn.
It is certain that this particular island will become even more iconic, such as the Vallee de Mai Praslin Island in Seychelles, which thrive in the famous coco-butt ...

Hot Flash And Dizziness

PASS BOOK BOOK WRITING THE

This is an operation that allows readers to "playing" with books . It is an American computer scientist of 37 years, Ron Hornbaker, who was in 2000, invented the concept. The approach consists to "liberate" books, leaving them in clear evidence in various public places so that readers find them, read them and have them move back by handing them into the circuit. It is estimated that there are every day around the world 500 new readers begin to practice the game nearly 200,000 players each year!

On the occasion of the exhibition "Books in the city which took place in July 2006, local publishers and authors had already launched such an operation. The experiment is now repeated on a larger scale.

The Pass books does not in circulation books abandoned or lost, it does not build up a personal library at little cost. The goal is really establish a network of readers, players sharing books and reading emotions.

After being mothballed for nearly two years, the operation has been relaunched from 10 March 2009, with the hope that it can be continued throughout 2009 and beyond.

What books?

To power the game, its organizers have a stock of 300 books given by publishers, authors, and some individuals. The public will be asked again to replenish the fund, since the idea is good just to give a book that we loved and we want to share with other "reader-traffickers.

Where can I find books?

Everything is centralized at the Maison du Livre. From there, the books circulate elsewhere in the city to other municipalities and even across the country.
