The Buenos Aires Metro had been subsidized as well; instead of removing these subsidies directly as was done with other services, however, the National Government proposed the subways' transfer to the City of Buenos Aires. Mayor Mauricio Macri initially accepted, but further differences arose. The National Government intended to transfer the subways without the subsidized budget needed to operate them, and the city had already passed a municipal budget for 2012 which did not consider these added costs.

title: "Austrolestes colensonis" content: Austrolestes colensonis Austrolestes colensonis, () is a common endemic New Zealand damselfly. It is New Zealand's largest damselfly, and can change the colour of its body to help thermoregulation. "Austrolestes colensonis" flies between the months of October to May and is usually seen close to still water, rushes and reeds while the emergence season of the damselfly is highest in January. "Austrolestes colensonis" is a member of the zygoptera family, which can be identified by their mobile head and robust multi-faceted compound eyes, short bristle-like antennae, an enlarged thorax supporting the flight muscles for two pairs of richly veined elongated


title: "Austrolestes colensonis" content: membranous wings and the ten part segmentation of the abdomen. In terms of the species itself, "Austrolestes colensonis" is the largest damselfly in New Zealand, with an average length of 40 to 47 millimeters. The key identifying features of "Austrolestes colensonis" are the distinct blue markings on the males and green marking on females as well as the tendency for males to perch at right angles on the support plant. In contrast to the adults, the larvae are between 17 and 21 millimeters in length and characterised by a broad head with large eyes, cylindrical body shape, rounded tip on


title: "Austrolestes colensonis" content: the tail gill with no hairs and three horizontal brown stripes. The larvae are quite active due to their ability to perform jumping movements and when disturbed the larvae swim very rapidly with the legs held close to the body towards the bottom sediments in which it burrows itself. Adult males can be distinguished by their widely separated blue eyes alongside a pale blue upper border on the mouthparts. The thorax has three blue stripes separated by black, which is the predominant colour of the "Austrolestes colensonis". Along the abdomen each segment from two to seven has a blue anterior


title: "Austrolestes colensonis" content: ring located on the margin between segments, the remainder of the abdomen is black except for a dorsal blue area on segment ten. Females have similar characteristics to the male with the exception of having a bright yellow-green colouration, a thicker abdomen and being clubbed distally. "Austrolestes colensonis" were observed at two different sites of variant elevations in New Zealand; they were found to have a two-year life cycle. Some eggs hatched directly the summer that they were laid while others overwinter and hatch the following spring. Deacon stated that organisms that form the height of the spring hatch are


title: "Austrolestes colensonis" content: well developed embryos that can push through the winter in a state of quiescence. Temperature was the major influence that regulated the rate of development; any temperature near or below the threshold inhibited early embryonic development and eventually caused death to the embryo. Eggs can be hatched in about 20–21 days at 20 degrees Celsius, in others the developed embryo forms the overwintering stage. Before emergence, the nymphal darkens until it is near black. Rowe (1987) found that the nymphs may take several short trips from the water a few days before emergence, which takes place on rush stalks 10–40


title: "Austrolestes colensonis" content: cm above the water line. It is common for there to be a high rate of mortality due to the moulting adult losing its grip on the substrate and ending up in a body of water where it can drown. Emergence occurs during the day from the months of October to February, with the majority bursting around January but adults can be found at late as May in Dunedin and in early June in Northland. After emergence and maiden flight, young adults mature sexually for several days; during this time there can be quite a high number of dispersals. Once


title: "Austrolestes colensonis" content: males reach maturity they venture out to find habitats suitable for breeding and to set their territories where they stay motionless on their established porch for extended periods of time until they are bothered by an intruder. Early afternoons, the height of reproductive activity, you will see males go chasing after females that fly through their territory. Rowe (1987) explains that oviposition generally occurs in tandem; the pair land on a floating piece of vegetation and the female drives a shaft through the stem and into the pith. She then lays 6–9 eggs, taking up to a minute. This is


title: "Austrolestes colensonis" content: repeated and eggs are laid out either in close batches or spaced between one another. Once the nymphs are hatched they begin to search for water so they can moult and release the second larval instar (about 2.3 mm long). These nymphs are quite active swimmers; once they reach a later stage they roam about on the surface of detritus and vegetation on the bottom of ponds. The larvae are cannibalistic and this was shown with fewer than 15% of larvae served had prey in them when dissected. They eat a range of things consisting of Oligochaeta, Rotifera, Cyclopoid Copepoda,


title: "Austrolestes colensonis" content: Ostracoda, Chydorus sphaericus, Simocephalus vetulus elizabethae, Hydracarina, Sigara spp, Anisops spp, tiny Zygoptera larvae and Chironomidae larvae. They catch other water insects by hiding amongst submerged vegetation then when they come within striking distance they pounce. The larvae also eat each other the bigger, more dominant eat the smaller. It is a process of natural selection where the more dominant and fast survive (Rowe, 1992). The New Zealand damselfly adult eats other bugs around its laying pools and ponds. They mainly feed on other winged bugs usually smaller than them (Johnson, 1991). The larvae of the New Zealand damselfly also


title: "Austrolestes colensonis" content: have predators even though they are usually one of the more dominant species in their pooling area. The predators consist of fish and beetles that they hide from in weed and submerged vegetation. They also are a predator to their own species as mentioned in their diet. Humans also contribute significantly to New Zealand damselfly survival with their power to redirect streams, leaving dry ponds with larvae unable to survive and eggs unable to hatch. Natural events, such as droughts, can also cause ponds and streams to dry up with similarly deadly results for larvae and eggs. "Austrolestes colensonis" or


title: "Austrolestes colensonis" content: commonly known as the blue damselfly, in Maori is known as Tienieme, which means "to lurch up and down". "Austrolestes colensonis" has been found to show aggressive, agonistic behavior. Larvae remain still and sit in one spot for hours and are easily bothered by disturbance. Rowe (1992) observed captured larvae that were placed in aquariums. The larvae were perched on two separate straws, one vertical, the other horizontal; each larvae defended their territory from the other organism. If larvae were put together in high numbers it was noted that they would lose legs or caudal lamellae on occasion in intraspecific

The larvae executed various forms of postures and motor patterns as observed by Rowe (1992), including: "Austrolestes colensonis" also exhibit thermoregulation behavior. There are two mechanisms involved: physiological colour changes and behavioural responses. They change in the intensity of their blue coloration. Males are dirty plue purple earlier on in the morning or after being cool for several hours, as they warm, first the thorax then the abdomen, gain bright blue color, in both males and

The Romans already knew of the thermal springs of Wiesbaden. The name of the city is derived from "Wisibada", the bathing place in the meadows. In 1810, the first spa house was built by Christian Zais. This was a beautiful but relatively modest building

During the 19th century, the benefits of the spa attracted the upper classes. The number of spa visitors, 20,000 in 1840, had increased tenfold by 1910. A larger, more modern and more impressive spa house was thus required. In 1905–07, the old spa building was demolished, and in its place a new building, designed by architect Friedrich von Thiersch, was erected at a cost of six million gold marks. At the opening ceremony, Kaiser Wilhelm

A number of smaller function rooms, named after Carl Schuricht, Carl von Ibell, Fyodor Dostoyevsky, Ferdinand Hey'l and the emperor, offer a variety of spaces for events. At the other end, facing the park, the south wing ends in a winter garden. The north wing houses the smaller ballroom (Christian Zais Hall), a restaurant, and the main portion of the Wiesbaden Casino, which
