This article describes some of the basics of computer font technology and highlights differences between PostScript Type 1, TrueType, and OpenType fonts.
What is a font?
A font (as it applies to computers) is a file or set of files that contain all of the necessary glyphs and positioning information for displaying a particular typeface on a computer display or output device such as a printer.
What is a font family?
A font family is a collection of typefaces; typically they are variations on the same typeface. The Times font family usually consists of a regular face (Times Roman), a bold face (Times Bold), an italic face (Times Italic), and a bold italic face (Times Bold Italic); some font families have many different typefaces and variants.
What is a PostScript Type 1 font?
PostScript is a page-description language that is used to generate images of a formatted page to be sent to an output device. PostScript Type 1 fonts are files that use PostScript to describe the appearance of a typeface; each font requires two files -- a bitmapped or screen font, and an outline font that is used by a PostScript interpreter to generate the final output.
On the Mac OS, a PostScript Type 1 font requires two files; a "font suitcase" of screen fonts, and an PostScript outline font for each screen font in a font suitcase. On Windows, a PostScript Type 1 font is represented by a .pfm file which contains the font metric data, and a .pfb file which contains the data for the characters or glyphs.
What is a Multiple Master font?
Multiple Master fonts are a variation of PostScript Type 1 font; each Multiple Master outline font file contains more than one set of outlines for a typeface, which could be modified on-the-fly to generate variations of a typeface. Multiple Master fonts require a custom utility that could generate one or more instances, which represent a particular configuration of the font.
On the Mac OS, a Multiple Master font is indistinguishable from standard PostScript fonts. On Windows, a Multiple Master font is represented by a .pfm file, a .pfb file, and an .mmm file which contains the data for generating instances for a Multiple Master font. Generating new Multiple Master instances is no longer supported by Mac OS X or Windows, and aspects of the Multiple Master technology have been incorporated into the OpenType font format.
What is a TrueType font?
TrueType fonts are based on an outline font standard developed by Microsoft and Apple as a competitor to PostScript fonts. A TrueType font only requires a single font file to generate both on-screen type and type to be sent to an output device; TrueType fonts are also cross-platform, and can be used on both Mac OS and Windows.
On the Mac OS, a TrueType font may appear as a .ttf file; it can also appear without an extension. In some cases, multiple TrueType fonts can exist in a font suitcase file similar to the suitcase files used for PostScript fonts. On Windows, TrueType fonts always appear as a .ttf file. A .ttf file is required for each typeface in a TrueType family on Windows.
What is a .dfont font?
A .dfont font is a variation on a TrueType font for Mac OS X. Multiple TrueType fonts can exist in a .dfont file; Apple primarily uses it for essential system fonts in Mac OS X. Very few other font developers provide their fonts in a .dfont file.
What is an OpenType font?
OpenType font technology was developed by Adobe and Microsoft as a replacement for both PostScript and TrueType fonts. OpenType fonts can be used on both Mac OS X and Windows computers, and can either contain PostScript-formatted glyph information or TrueType-formatted glyph information; applications such as Suitcase Fusion can determine if an OpenType font is based on PostScript or TrueType, but there is no difference in functionality.
On Mac OS and Windows, an OpenType font appears as an .otf file; an .otf file is required for each typeface. On Windows, OpenType fonts can also appear as a .ttf file.

I was delighted to see that critic and writing teacher Walter Cummins, mentor to generations of writers, included his review of my first novel The Etruscan, originally published in The Literary Review, in his new anthology of reviews and essays Knowing Writers (2017)
His generous review cuts through to what is for me the essence of the novel: the clash and fusion of the mythic and the temporal, gothic and modernism, romance and reality, Italian cynicism and Yankee yearning for spirit and beauty. My own life plays out, frazzled but energized, in the midpoints of those binaries.
This novel grew out of my exploration of the storied Etruscan landscape and my sojourn in an ancient house. It was nurtured by my literary studies of the Brontes and the gothic, DH Lawrence and Italy, Henry James, Vita Sackville West, and Daphne Du Maurier, as well as by my research into the lives of early twentieth century women travelers.
Here are some highlights from his review. The full text may be accessed at Cummins on The Etruscan
"Among the pleasures of The Etruscan are a compelling plot, intriguing characters, vivid sense of place, strong descriptive writing. But Linda Lappin's principal achievement – and greatest challenge – may be found in her realization of Count Federigo Del Re and the strange power he exerts over the novel's heroine, Harriet Sackett.
Lappin's task -or that of any writer who wishes to create a Federigo Del Re- is convincing the reader to share Harriet's complex, almost otherworldly, obsession with the man. In The Etruscan she succeeds.
While the novel has a twenty-first century publication date and a twentieth-century setting, many of its narrative strategies are Victorian, with the Gothic overtones found in writers like the Brontes. Del Re is clearly a Byronic figure in the tradition of Rochester and Heathcliffe. Mystery lies at the heart of the story-for much of the novel the question of what happened to Harriet in Italy and, even after the final page, the nature of what draws her to Del Re.
Two realities are contrasted, that of Edwardian perspectives of Wimbly, the Hamptons, and the Hampton's housekeeper, Mrs Parsons, and that of Harriet's immersion in another realm. Lappin presents the attitudes and perceptions of Wimbly, the Hamptons, and Mrs Parsons in close third person. But Harriet emerges directly through her first-person diary, a document like that found in many traditional novels. The physical diary itself becomes an object of contention, with Stephen trying to burn it, Mrs Parsons rescuing it, and Sarah preserving the final, torn out page until its content is revealed on the very last pages of the novel. The Italian settings are certainly Gothic, the ancient homes, the treacherous landscapes, the Etruscan tombs. Because of Lappin's exact descriptions, they are very convincing" –Walter CumminsKnowing Writers: Essays & Reviews
Thank you Walter
The Etruscan is available on kindle.

The announcement yesterday that the California stem cell agency had given away $28 million for research attracted extremely modest attention in the mainstream media.
Our automated searches turned up only two brief items today: one in the San Francisco Business Times and one on the Orange County Register Internet site. Both focused primarily on the grants in their local areas.
The light coverage was to be expected. CIRM is receiving little media attention, a situation that is likely to continue short of a scandal or major research breakthrough.

Puerto Rican Giant Centipede
(Scolopendra sp. - possibly the true gigantea)
by Jon Fouskaris
*Information provided by Frank Somma
|Although Scolopendra gigantea was described back in 1758, today there is much confusion between South American centipede species. The aforementioned species was noted to be the largest species of centipede on the planet, although people have doubts on even that! Since the record-holders of the centipede world are in need of thorough investigation, the next statement may one day prove to be false. The relatively new-to-the-hobby Puerto Rican Giant Centipede is most likely the true Scolopendra gigantea! Currently, Puerto Rican Giant Centipedes are rather hard-to-find and expensive in the hobby. With a bit of luck though, breeders may produce a more steady captive population. These huge, fast centipedes are definitely not for starters. They remain hidden under the substrate as long as they come out, so viewing them is hit or miss. As well as being somewhat secretive, Puerto Rican Giant Centipedes are generally jumpy and definitely aggressive! Their size is formidable, and their venom is probably medically significant. Nonetheless, the Puerto Rican Giant Centipede does have its' own special advantages. Its' coloration is as beautiful as a Puerto Rican sunset, its' menacing size can give a corrections officer the goosebumps, and its' exoskeleton is glossy enough to be used as a mirror! All in all, the Puerto Rican Giant Centipede is a unique and uncommon centipede species that should be cared for with respect and consideration.
|Forests of Puerto Rico, Jamaica, Trinidad, Venezuela, Columbia, equatorial Brazil, and northern Chile.
|Terrestrial, but will burrow to some extent.
|Babies will eat pinhead crickets, or other small insects. Adults will consume almost any creature that is not larger that itself, including large crickets, cockroaches, small mice, and even fuzzy rats.
|Full Grown Size
|9.5 to 12 inches.
|Medium speed.
|75 to 80° F.
|Around 80%.
|Aggressive and nervous.
|Babies can live in a roomy clear plastic container with air holes. Adults can live in a 10 to 15-gallon tank. The tank should be twice as long, and at least as wide as the individual. Floor space is as important as height. In this case, the height is not important for climbing, just to prevent escapes by the centipede running up the side of the tank.
|3 to 5 inches of peat moss, or potting soil.
|No decorations are really needed.
|Other Names
|South American Giant Centipede.
*Please note that ALL centipedes have a certain amount of venom. Although most people would not die from this species, some people may be allergic to the venom, or just more sensitive, making it a dangerous situation. This is one of the reasons that people should not handle this centipede. Affects of this centipedes' natural defenses may vary between people. All centipedes should be considered dangerous, so be careful, because you don't want to find out if you are allergic or more sensitive the HARD WAY!

Parent and community education is an essential variable in early childhood services. Parents need to be recruited as partners in the process of developing the foundations for later academic success. This often starts with parent education.
Parent education nights are typically held at the beginning of the year and the following resources and videos may be useful when running these evenings.
Milestone Fact Sheets
Designed by Speech Pathologists, these resources promotes awareness of early developmental milestones. The posters outline:
- What children by age group should be able to say, express, comprehend and listen and engage with.
- Tips for parents in the home environment so that they can stimulate their child's speech and language skills
- A list of observations of children's communication skills (or lack of) which are causes for concern and suggest visits to an Speech Pathologist.
Speak and Listen Posters
Posters designed by speech pathologists to illustrate the dimensions of good speaking and listening.
- Ideal to be used at the beginning of each classroom lessson to remind students about "good speaking and listening behaviours"
- For young students highlight one or two aspects at one time (e.g. Looking at me, with your brain switched on)
- Ideal for use in the home or for individual students with communication needs.
The Comprehension Questions Range
Resources from the Key Area: Oral Language
Designed by Speech Pathologists, these resources helps teachers and parents know what type of books and questions that children of specified age groups should be exposed to.
- Samples of adequate and inadequate age based answers
- Explicit instructions on how to present in a whole class, small group individual setting
- Pre-test and post-test formats to determine if children are age appropriate or not and those that require a referral to a speech pathologist

Olmec, probably from Las Bocas, 1200-900 BC
Terracotta, cinnabar
Height: 4-3/4 inches (12 cm)
Edward H. Merrin Gallery, 1968
Ex private French collection
Samuel Merrin collection, 1985
Published: Linda Schildkraut, The Merrin Gallery –Precolumbian Art [New York:2000] no. 2, illus.
N.B. This figure has been dated by thermoluminescence to 1330-0 BC. Stylistic comparison places it in the Preclassic period.
This solid terracotta figure is one of the finest Olmec ceramics known. He is modeled of solid tan clay that was cream-slipped. Select areas – the legs, hands, and face – were daubed with a dilute wash of pale red cinnabar. Burnishing produced a stunning, glassy polish which has survived quite well, granting him a jewel-like effect.
The seated male is more portrait-like and active in posture than most Olmec terracotta figurines. He leans toward his left with his head turned, as if rapt, listening to a discourse delivered by an unseen speaker. Likely, he was part of a multi-figure grouping. The concept brings to mind the Xochipala pair of seated shaman and youth, seemingly engaged in conversation, in the collection of the Princeton Art Museum. These two related figures are approximately contemporary with our Olmec example.
Our figure is an elderly man with slightly wizened features. Unique, thumbprint-like depressions indent his temples and shoulders and smaller ones make tiny flat plateaus on his cheeks. This may represent the particular physical appearance of an actual individual. He is totally human, totally engaging, and we yearn to know what has captivated him so.

Stockbridge Marsh
Discover the rich wetland habitat of Stockbridge Marsh, a haven for birds and butterflies.
Situated just behind the High Street of Stockbridge, Stockbridge Marsh is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
It lies within the peaty river valley of the River Test and has Marsh Court stream, a tributary of the Test running along its Western boundry.
A rich wetland habitat, the Marsh consists of unimproved wet grassland and fen-like vegetation, with herb-rich hummocky areas across the site. The site is a haven for bird species such as reed and sedge warblers, swans, moorhens, kingfishers, mistle thrush and reed buntings.
Water voles slip secretively around the edges of the river reeds and butterfly species such as Tortoiseshell, small copper and marbled whites can be found basking among the vegetation.
You may also notice Yellow Meadow ant hills, especially to the southern end of the site, which are an important indicator of ancient grasslands.
Managing Stockbridge Marsh
The Marsh is 'common land' with ancient manorial rights dating back to the Norman Conquest: anyone who lives in the borough of Stockbridge is a commoner of this land.
Some commoners take up their common rights here in the form of grazing – the Marsh is grazed by cattle and horses during the summer working with us. These animals help to keep the dominant grasses down and allow a wider diversity of flora species to thrive.
As well as grazing, our team manage the control of species such as ragwort and Creeping Thistle, both of which can become dominant, and the growth of hawthorn scrub on the site.
Walking at Stockbridge Marsh
Planning your visit
Stockbridge Common Marsh can be reached from the Test Way which runs alongside it and via a footpath from the town of Stockbridge in Hampshire.
There is also a National Trust car park on site (Sat Nav SO20 6JH).
Whilst cycling and horseriding are not permitted, it is a fine place to take a walk or have a picnic.

BigRentz Tops Fastest-Growing Private Companies List in Orange County
October 27, 2014 – Irvine, CA – BigRentz (www.bigrentz.com), a leading nationwide network for heavy equipment rental, has been recognized by the Orange County Business Journal as the No. 1 Fastest-Growing Small Privately-Held Company in Orange County.
To be considered for the list, companies were required to present revenue and growth over a two-year period. While BigRentz' exponential growth rate of 1,268% over the last two years and revenue of $6.7 million over the past 12 months certainly helped them secure the coveted title, the company owes much of its recent success to its lively corporate culture. The Irvine, California equipment rental company also earned recognition earlier this year as one of the 2014 Best Places to Work in Orange County.
BigRentz has created a remarkable office atmosphere unique to its dynamic culture that promotes interaction and wellness in the workplace. The inviting Irvine headquarters offers employee perks and activities such as ping pong tournaments, a giant spinning prize wheel, friendly spur-of-the-moment Nerf gun wars, catered lunches, a dry cleaning delivery program and in-office massages.
With no signs of slowing down, BigRentz has also become more active in their local communities. One notable example of the companys community involvement was their participation in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge which included a sizable donation to Augies Quest (www.augiesquest.org), a local charitable organization that raises money to fund research and development aimed at finding a cure for ALS.
Dallas Imbimbo, CEO for BigRentz, claims that employee satisfaction is the greatest contributor to a companys success. Without a positive and uplifting environment that encourages engagement and supports a healthy work-life balance, a workplace is nothing more than a place of business, and I believe that hinders any kind of progress for both the individual and the company, said Imbimbo. His philosophy echoes that of many successful technology campuses throughout Northern California's Silicon Valley, which emphasize employee happiness as the key to great productivity. It goes beyond employee satisfaction. With the amount of time an employee spends in the office each week, a company becomes like a family, so it's important that we always take care of each other. It's one of our core values at BigRentz, he added.
BigRentz' impressive nationwide equipment rental network boasts over 6,500 rental locations that can provide virtually any type of construction equipment for jobs large and small. Its world-class customer service, knowledgeable equipment rental experts, competitive pricing and unparalleled inventory have made BigRentz the preferred choice for companies, contractors, and individuals who value the convenience and ease of fulfilling all of their rental needs with a single phone call.

The beach further down towards the airport has the popular, more upscale Bahia Bar. Since this area is closer to the Lagoon, if there is no breeze, there may be sand fleas. Be careful to use repellant the moment you lay on the beach or get out of the water. You wont notice the bites until it is too late. The beach to the west of town does not have any sand fleas.
Watch the water at the foot of the several streams that enter the bay, as the effluent may not be very pretty. It can be dangerous at night to walk towards the west along the beach into Cristales. Not recommended. Dont get drunk at a champa and take a midnight beach walk alone. If you use common sense, you should have no problem.
If you have transportation, consider driving towards Puerto Castillo and about one mile before the entrance to the port on the right look for a sand road that will take you the 200 yards to the beach on the outside of the bay. You will find bigger waves, absolutely tourist free, and only a very occasional native walking by. Watch the current.
Jon Tompson is a wealth of knowledge of the Trujillo bay and Honduras in general. He is extremely friendly and a true history buff, offering a variety of historical and cultural tours around the bay. He can help you with any kinds of questions regarding Honduras and the bay of Trujillo. Feel free to call him at+504 9758-8996. His email is email@example.com
Hiking along the beach to Campamento, the Garifuna fishing villages of Santa Fe, San Antonio, or Guadalupe is easy, but you will have to wade across numerous small waterways that enter the ocean. Inquire as to the distance at which you think you may be comfortable. Its about 10 kilometers to Santa Fe, and several more kilometers to San Antonio and Guadalupe.
Hiking in the national park above the town is beautiful and cooling as you reach the top at about 4,000 feet in altitude. The summit is a cloud forest environment. You should hear or see macaws, monkeys, giant ferns, orchids, and abundant other flowers. There is a small entrance pavilion just above the town, but nowadays it is empty. The less adventurous can drive to the top on an atv or motorcycle.
They say there is an old Spanish Royal road that traverses the low mountains just to the west of town and Mount Calentura. In places there are cobblestones from Colonial days. It leads over the ridge to the plain of the Rio Aguan. Someday, perhaps this will be developed for hikers. It begins near Campamento.
You can visit the Garifuna villages of Santa Fe, San Antonio, Guadalupe, Santa Rosa de Aguan, and Limon by car or bus. More distant, dangerous, and intrepid adventures to the Mosquitia can be accessed from Trujillo by boat.
There is a speed boat that travels directly from Trujillo to Guanaja on varying days of the week. Inquire once in Trujillo if interested.
Danny and Larry Forseth offer flights to Roatan, La Ceiba, Guanaja, and San Pedro Sula. Their six-passenger plane is comfortable and professional, but its not worth it unless you fill the seats up. You can contact them at Tranquility Bay.
Go to FUCAGUA at their office on the left 5 or 6 blocks up the road from the center of town to the Villa Brinkley. They have maps to look at and maybe some tips for excursions. Sometimes there are Peace Corps workers there with whom you may converse; at other times, there is no one who speaks English. Also you may inquire at the new Tourist Info Office in front of the fort and next to the old Commandancia (yellow building with red roof).
Birding can be very rewarding in the Trujillo area. Villa Vista Dorada sits above the ravine of the Rio Cristales, and in the morning between the hours of 5:30 and 7:30 a.m. flying below the terrace we have identified at least 4 different parrots (including the yellow-naped parrot that is supposed to only be on the Bay Islands)., blue-gray tanagers, numerous hummingbirds (maybe the Emerald---but not confirmed), keel-billed toucans, and countless others. In the winter all the transient migratory birds from up North are present in addition to the locals. Further west down the coast are any number of small rivers that empty into the Carribbean just a few hundred meters from the road. Numerous interesting waterfowl can be seen on trees and stumps in the streams. The Guaimoreta Lagoon has numerous waterfowl, and you might inquire if anyone can arrange a canoe trips for you. Buy a copy of Birding Honduras by Mark Bonta and David L. Anderson (to purchase contact email@example.com.) and take it with you. It is not so much a bird identification volume as it is an enabler of adventure and guide for side trips in Honduras, including excellent birdwatching. Check their book and you find trips like one they recommend that is only an hour and fifteen minutes east of Trujillo by paved and dirt road, where you can head into the headwaters of the Mosquitia Coast for birding and hiking and a visit to a splendid waterfall.
Jon Tompson offers many different historical tours of Trujillo and environs, and can put together a birding adventure in Betulia or a crocodile tour to the mouth of the Aguan River. He offers an excellent historical tour of downtown Trujillo and is a true history buff. He is a wealth of knowledge and has more than twenty years experience in Trujillo. He can organize fishing tours, Contact him at 9758-8996. Jon Tompson habla español.
Kim Brinkley also offers good birding tours out to her property near Santa Fe. She may be reached at
Water Sports are only rudimentary so far in Trujillo. There arent any official fishing tours, but pretty much anything can be arranged if youre up for an adventure. Maybe a local fisherman will take you fishing in the small motorized dinghy provided to some of them by the Japanese fishing cooperative. Or maybe you can get one of the Garifuna fishermen to take you in his cayuco (dugout canoe), but beware as they are low to the water and not very stable. If youre lucky and have your sea legs in you, youll be able to glide back with a custom plastic tarp sail. The dock is pretty dilapidated but still functional. Bambu rents kayaks at a pretty steep price, and there are jet skis available by inquiry.
Jon Tompson can arrange fishing, snorkeling, or diving tours. Call him at 9758-8996. Recently he has had access to the 40 fishing cruiser of Jonny Hindes. This is a big, nice boat suitable for families or groups. Even if the fishing is no good, its nice to be out on the bay enjoying the sun and sea out by Puerta Castilla.
Randy Jorgensen and his company Banana Coast Tours have built a multi-colored cruise ship terminal in Río Negro to support the recent influx of cruise ships that are set to arrive weekly starting in October of this year. At the beginning of this year a small ship called the SS Yorktown came three times and small group of passengers reportedly had a great time on various different tours. Starting at the end of 2014, the ships are set to come with regularity, eventually becoming a go-to stop in the Caribbean cruise ship route. The captain of the SS Yorktown commented that Trujillo is the most beautiful port weve visited, probably because of its authenticity and beautiful mountain backdrop. The cruise ships will anchor outside the terminal and smaller boats will ferry the passengers to the terminal.
Trujillo is excited to welcome cruise ships such as Norwegian Cruise Line, Holland America Line, Silver Seas, P & O and Oceania Cruises every Wednesday beginning this October.
Campo del Mar Nature Park is the first park open in a planned 4 park system. The Nature Park is a large park with beautiful botanical gardens, an orchard, vegetable garden and local artisan displays. The park has monkeys and tropical birds. Campo del Mar also offers a restaurant, 2 pools, water trampoline and bar on the beach which has been expanded to accommodate large groups. While the beach can become very windy in the late afternoons, it is a beautiful stretch of untouched sand with lots of chairs and small champas for shade. The park is open weekly to the public for Sunday lunches and is available for group events. Coming soon is the River Park which is currently under construction and future plans for a Heritage Park and Wildlife Park. For more information you can call 504 9849-0936
Banana Coast Tours offers a variety of packaged tours in a nice mini-bus to locations around the bay:
Santa Rosa de Aguan jungle river tour
ATV Jungle Adventure
Beach ATV ride
Nature Park walking tour
Guaymoreto Kayak Tour
Historical Trujillo by tram
Historical Tram, Nature park, and beach-
Starfish Snorkel & Beach Break
Horseback Adventure and Nature park
The Hot Spring is about seven kilometers from the center of town just beyond the Pesh village of Silin. You pay a small entrance fee (50 lempiras) to enter the wonderful hot springs, and an additional charge for a 30-40 minute massage. Great way to relax after some hard traveling or hiking, and the food is good when it is available. Take bug spray if sunset is approaching. There seems to be good birding at this location also.Thermal Hot springs in Silín near UNO gas station
Some nice natural tubs perched on a little hill on fifty acres of pleasant jungle surroundings. The Hotel Prada is currently closed. Call Charlie Biondillo 99124569 for information and booking. A great experience in a unique niche of Trujillo.
The Garifuna FISHING VILLAGES of Santa Fe, San Antonio, and Guadalupe are picturesque and reachable by the unpaved road that is just back from the beach and stretches to the west of town. Only in the last 10 or 15 years have most inhabitants of these towns improved their houses from mud and a thatch to concrete. For a small fee the children will cut a coconut and insert a straw so you can enjoy the milk. In Guadalupe, the last store on the road on the beach side sells hats made from the coconut palm, and native-made drums. These Garifuna towns have annual festivals called Ferias which are a sight to see. During the ferias, youre guaranteed to see traditional old Garifuna women in traditional dresses punta dancing and drinking their spiritual sacrament...giffiti.
Great giftsbut you may have to sneak the drums, which are partly made of animal hidepast immigration. Its a treat to have lunch at Comedor Caballero in Santa Fe. There are other Garifuna villages along the coast east of Trujillo that might be a good day trip by car or bus. Santa Rosa de Aguan and Limon are picturesque. There are no cars in Santa Rosa de Aguan which makes it a peaceful river town with rasta cowboys and a good restaurant right on what they call a football field, which is more like a pond.
Once again I refer to Jon Tompson, who can arrange a trip by boat to Santa Rosa then lunch at the local restaurant, then a boat trip up the river delta looking for water birds and caimans and alligators and monkeys in the trees. Call 9758-8996 and ask for Jon.
The old CEMETERY in the center of town is evocative and hosts the grave of the legendary filibuster, William Walker. His grave has a cross with his name and the epitaph "fusilado"---meaning "shot by firing squad". Behind the hospital, and accessible from the fort is the spot where they shot Walker, and nowadays it sports a small monument. For those intrepid tourists continuing on to Nicaragua, be aware that in Granada, Nicaragua they make a very big deal of the famous Mr. Walker, possibly because he burned down the town when he was chased out. Of course he ended up in Trujillo, where he was captured and shot after naming himself president of Honduras.
No one has pointed out to me the location of the burial of the earliest colonists, but it has been pointed out to me that it is probably to the left as you enter the old cemetery. The historic cemetery was abandoned and closed in 2005 and 2006, but now a charitable group is helping with maintenance and it is open and attended.
The Museum RUFINO GALAN in Trujillo is funky and interesting, and most unusually, has its own stream-fed swimming hole. The private owner of this museum is a treat to talk to if you speak Spanish. If not, the displays are rarely marked. With so much history and pre-Columbian artifacts waiting to be found and catalogued, lets hope that Trujillo, in the near future, gets its own serious museum.
The Fortaleza of Santa Barbara still commands the bay from atop its bluff, but is somewhat hidden from the street by the concrete basketball court. A small entrance fee will assure you an unparalleled site for photos and a view of the bay. If you have a penchant for collecting early Caribbean prints, there is a print of Trujillo done by an intrepid Dutch artist, Ogilby in 1671. It shows a much larger fortification than is present today, and walls that extend all the way down to the almost sea level at the town entrance to the east. The Ministry of Culture is restoring the Commandancia---the part of the fort that was the headquarters building (with the square brick columns). Unfortunately, the new roof is entirely inappropriate. In fact, maybe we can consider the new roof on the Commandancia a new tourist attraction for those interested in historic renovation as an example of how not to do it. There are other plans to improve the rest of the fort and its permanent exhibition area, and eventually begin restorations of buildings in the historic center of town. Spain sponsored a mission that came to Trujillo in 2002 to begin the process of improving the infrastructure of the town. The two story building with balcony across from Hondutel in the historic center has been well renovated. It now houses INFOP, a school for the hospitality industry.
Look carefully at many of the old buildings in the center of town as many are hidden jewels. The prison is the old capital building. Many store-fronts are old Spanish buildings with 19th century French Colonial style second floors of wood. A group of visiting architects in 1996 declared the barbershop to be an important 300-year-old Spanish Colonial edifice. No one has yet sought to identify and improve the scant remains of the old convent, hospital, or Casa Real, or other early edifices. Lets hope that the government, a foundation or other benefactor steps forward to help preserve Trujillos historic structures and patrimony before it's too late.
Trips to La Mosquitia are only for intrepid travelers willing to be subject to delays and possible danger. While it is possible to find a boat headed that way, itd be easier in La Ceiba. The only transportation that travels to Palacios, the hub for lanchas into Mosquitia, is a pick up truck that leaves periodically from Tocoa. Youll have to ride in the bed of the truck stuffed with supplies and other passengers. Recruiting private transportation would be costly. Arriving in Palacios you have to be ready to wait for a boat to head out to La Mosquitia. You have to plan your budget in advance because there are no ATMs until Puerta Lempira. Like I said, this kind of trip is for experienced travelers and is necessary to have a Spanish speaker along with you.

The Israeli government is headed for yet another round of elections. Although the official election date for the next
Knesset is November 7, 2017, no one ever expected this government to last that long. The voting will likely take place in March of 2015.
What do the new elections mean outside of Israel? Nothing very good, I'm afraid. For the most part, any elections held in the foreseeable future are going to cement the status quo even further, and where they don't do so, elections will mean a shift even further rightward. Read more at LobeLog

Einkorn (Triticum monococcum L.) is a specific grain type with extraordinary characters formerly grown mainly in European regions. It got a special interest already at the beginning of bio-dynamic farming when some gardeners searched for cereal forms between wild grasses and modern cereals. Very little attention had been paid to breeding those forms. It was hope the older forms would show original characteristics which have been lost during modern breeding process.
Einkorn is a modern name developed from a botanical classification. The ear of einkorn is very brittle and it can easily be divided into single spikelets. Typically in every spikelet one single kernel can be found that has developed from one single flower. Sometimes two flowers will produce two seeds on one spikelet. But typically the two-kernel spikelet is known as "emmer" and developed later in the evolution of cereals. Emmer is more useful for pasta and is more closely related to durum wheat. When trying to distinguish between einkorn and emmer one must look at more than just the number of seeds per spikelet.
A very special characteristic of einkorn is its yellowish colour of flour. Even the colour of the hulls varies from white throug brown to black. Also there is a difference in hardness of hulls. The harvest can be hulled or hulless after threshing. With a very simple cleaning process the hulless varieties can be used for further processing. If you notice the filligran form of the shooting plant in its shining green stage, then you know right away that einkorn is not an ordinary grain. It is the most delicate of all cereals grown in Europe.
In places where einkorn was an every day food item, certainly it had a different name. Traditionally it is the word "tiphe" in Greek, "siyez" in Turkish and "sifon" in Hebrew. In France and Italy it is named as small spelt ("Le petit épautre" or " Farro piccolo" 17). But this relates only to the forms, which have to be dehulled after threshing. Until a better word is found for everyday language we will simply use the name - EINKORN !
Starting from the area between Eufrat and Tiger, beginning 7600 B.C., cultivated forms of einkorn spread through Asia Minor all over Europe16. Outside Europe and Asia Minor einkorn was unknown. Modern origin theories speculate that the beginning of cultivation of einkorn might be the area of KaracaDag-Mountains where the Eufrat and Tiger rivers have sprung up in Southeast Turkey. Samples of cultivated einkorn collected there were most related to the wild forms (13).
With the beginning of agriculture einkorn soon became a less desired crop than emmer and barley. It survived in different locations until recently as an undemanding crop, to be used for porridge (12). In Yugoslavia einkorn was a bit more important until first World War and still could be found for a long period next to the towns Danilovgrad and Cernogori (18). SCHIEMANN mentioned (in 1948) that fields with einkorn can be seen in the areas of Northern Switzerland, Svabia and Baden. In Italy HAMMER and PERRINO (1984) found einkorn only in the area of Castelfranco in Higher Appenin (700 m above see level), where it was used as feed for pigs. Those pigs were supposed to grow fast, be healthy and have a shiny bristle cover.
The same authors reported eleven years later that increasing areas of einkorn were being grown in that area (10). Sporadic einkorn could also be found in Anatoly/Turkey (14), sometimes in the mountain area of Albania, in Rumania in Transsylvania and in Karpat Mountains, also next to Sault/France (20). A small area of cultivation is mentioned in Anadalusian province of Cordoba/Spain (19). In the meantime einkorn could be found in Switzerland and in eastern province of Lower Saxony, in Saarland and more often in Frankonia, all three in Germany.
Einkorn belongs to the oldest known cereals. Contrary to wide spread considerations einkorn is not a direct ancestor of wheat. They both had a commen forefather about 10.000 years ago, which probably had the closest relation to todays "ancient wild einkorn" (Triticum boeoticum

To illustrate relationships:
Already MIGUSHOVA (1975) assumed that it was not Triticum monococcum L. (einkorn) but an ancestor of T.urartu that was one wild parent in the development of wheat. CHELAK (1980) concludes that due to lack of homology between chromosomes, T.monococcum was not involved in evolution of tetraploid wheat. TERACHI and TSUNEWAKI (1992) found in mitochondrial genom distinct differences between einkorn and polyploid durum- and bread-wheat. Because of variations in repeating nukleotid sequencies DVORAK et al. (1993) came to the conclusion that T.urartu is a parent of T.aestivum. Probably only T.zhukovskyi developed from a union between T.monococcum and T.timopheevi and is representing the only "wheat", which is related to T.monococcum and T.urartu. Based on RFLP-analysis (restriction fragment length polymorphism) TAKUMI et al. (1993) came to the assumption that a close relation between T.monococcum and T.boeoticum exists and that T.urartu is the donor of the A-genom of wheat. Research on genetic markers coding for gliadin (alcohol solubel proteins of wheat) by CIAFFI et al.(1997) leads to the conclusion that T.monococcum (cultivated einkorn) is closely related to T.boeoticum (ancient wild einkorn), but the A-genom of tetra- and hexaploid wheats came from T.urartu. Wheat did not come directly from cultivated einkorn, but both have the same ancestors.
In the higher yielding samples the percentage of hulls can be around 35-45% from total yield. Low yielding samples and those with low thousand-grain-weight could have up to 50% hulls. Related to einkorn spelt has about 30 - 35% hulls under comparable conditions.
The losses during usual dehulling are higher than with spelt; because of narrow and small kernels, which break easily. In addition to this problem we can also expect higher expenses, because of: a preferable location, weed control requirements and harvest procedures. Compared with spelt, an additional 75% of the price of unprocessed yield could be expected.
Tested, frost-tolerant, but still not winterhardy, hulless-threshing samples of einkorn (Triticum monococcum sinskajae) were found to have a very poor yield. So it will take some time of breeding to get hulless einkorn with good field performance.
FILATENKO and KURKIEV (1975) described hulless threshing forms of einkorn first as Triticum monococcum L. convar. sinskajae (A.Filat. et Kurk.). Hulless kernels were found during the process of maintaining accessions once collected from ZHUKOVSKIJ 1926 during an expedition in the area Kastamonu/Dadaj/Turkey. This happened at the reserach stations of Vavilov-Institute (VIR) in Taschkent (1963, 1967) and Daghestan (1965). The sample remained hulless in the following generations. Other characteristics for the original hulless forms of einkorn are dwarf, compact ears and relatively short awns. This accession is maintained in the gene bank of VIR in St.Petersburg with the number K48993. Crossing and selection developed another 'sinskajae' by VALLEGA (1996). It is a little bit better in germination, with early ripening and tillering. It was deposited at the gene bank in Aberdeen/Idaho/USA under number PI584654. To reduce losses during harvest and preparation hulless forms of einkorn seem to be of exceptional interest. But it needs more of the breeding work to get better winter-hardiness combined with all other typical characters of einkorn in a hulless threshing form.

GULF War veterans continue to have much poorer health than other servicemen but seem no more likely to suffer cancer, a study has shown.
The revelation comes just after a landmark inquest on the death of a Huddersfield soldier where a coroner stated for the first time that a serviceman had died from illnesses linked to service in the first Gulf war.
The ruling by a coroner in Cheshire on former Dalton man Major Ian Hill last month could pave the way for many other former service personnel to take action.
He died at the age of 54 in March 2001 after 10 years of severe health problems including emphysema, severe chest infections, breathing difficulties and the loss of feeling in his hands and feet.
But the cancer revelation came in two studies published in the British Medical Journal which had looked at the well-being of thousands of servicemen amid continued concern about so-called Gulf War Syndrome.
More than 3,000 veterans from the 1991 conflict have said they have suffered from unexplained ailments since the war, including kidney pains, memory loss, chronic fatigue and mood swings.
The servicemen have blamed tablets and vaccinations they received to protect them against nerve agents, anthrax and botulism along with pesticides sprayed on tents.
But the Ministry of Defence has maintained that the illnesses are so varied there can be no specific cause.
Researchers from Guy's, King's and St Thomas's School of Medicine compared the health of veterans up to 2001 - 10 years after the war.
They wrote: "Gulf war veterans continue to experience symptoms that are considerably worse than would be expected in an equivalent cohort of military personnel.
"However, Gulf War veterans are not deteriorating and do not have a higher incidence of new illnesses."
The researchers said the nature of Gulf War illness remained "ambiguous."
They said it would be increasingly difficult to find causes as the years passed.
"We suspect that different psychosocial, military and environmental risk factors may determine onset and recovery," the team concluded.
The second study, led by Professor Gary MacFarlane at the University of Manchester, compared the incidence of cancer in 51,721 Gulf veterans and 50,775 non-deployed personnel in the 11 years since the war.
In the Gulf War group there were 270 cases of cancer, compared with 269 in the non-deployed group.
Even after smoking and alcohol consumption were taken into account, there was still little change in risk between the groups.
The authors noted:
"Although this study should provide some reassurance of a lack of association between deployment to the Gulf and increased risk of cancer, the long latent period for cancer requires that these cohorts should continue to be followed up and their experience of cancer monitored."

At last he urged his followers not to do personal attacks at him and move on.
so for Chetan Bhagat the day was intresting.
and for you guys i hope the day was even more intresting 😀
