	Indian Sculpture Cacíque Mabodomaca was one of the leaders during the Indian Wars. His chiefdom covered Quebradillas, Camuy and Isabela. Before the European invasion this area was one of the most important Taíno chiefdoms and was known as Guajataca (Taíno for “The Water Ladle”). Legend has it that when his warriors could no longer hold back the European invaders he led his people along the Guajataca River and disappeared into the Island’s central mountain range. Route # 113 (Quebradillas-Isabela) has been renamed “Avenida Cacíque Mabodomaca” in honor of this great leader.
	Río Camuy Cave Park There are only two other places in the world where you will find a cave system as massive or dramatic as the Río Camuy Cave Park – and neither of them has a tropical underground river thundering through it. Only a small part of the complex is open to the public: three crater-like sinkholes and two caves… but what a spectacular part it is! Visitors ride a trolley that descends into a sinkhole lined with dense tropical vegetation while a guide describes the sights. After a walk across ramps and bridges and through the dramatically illuminated, 170-foot high Cueva Clara, another tram shuttles you to a platform overlooking the 400 foot deep Tres Pueblos Sinkhole.

	Golf Course Located in the former Ramey Air Force Base, this 18-hole course is one of the best maintained and breeziest on the island. The course is on the island’s north-western tip. The fees are relatively inexpensive, which makes the course very accessible. There is no need for a tee time reservation, and clubs are available for rental. Only soft spikes are allowed here.
	Jacinto Blowhole El Pozo de Jacinto is a place of good luck for everyone except the farmer who the place is named. The story is about Jacinto who had a favorite cow which he kept tied to himself while he was pasturing his herd. The cow apparently got to close to the edge and fell in, dragging Jacinto. Today, it is said to be lucky to shout, “Jacinto! Dame la vaca!” (Give me the cow!) as the spray comes up.
	Scuba Diving Rich with Spanish culture and miles of white sandy beaches, Puerto Rico has everything to accommodate your tropical vacation. In Puerto Rico you are surrounded by the natural splendor of mountains, valleys, reefs & exotic escapes. Outlying islands, such as Vieques, as wonderlands for scuba diving. www.cuevasubmarina.com

Isabela Legend: EL POZO BRUJO

EL POZO BRUJO

! Llegó el sábado!

Ese día, los tres hermanos al levantarse, organizaron sus mochilas para escaparse hasta la Poza Clara, que quedaba algunos metros cerca del acantilado.

Caminaron hasta el impinado acantilado, que ya conocían, bajaron por entre las raíces y piedras hasta llegar a la playa. Berto, el mayor de los hermanos siempre estaba pendiente de Luisito y Gaby. Luisito el mas traviezo de los tres, se alejo de ellos para ir a un pequeño estanque natural, escondido entre unos arbustos y rocas. Ese depósito de agua quedaba como a cien metros tierra adentro, de la orilla de la playa. El diminuto embalse estaba rodeado de vegetación, con arboles frondosos y variados arbustos, dándole sombra y verdor al pozo. Lo curioso es que el agua ennegrecida, por no recibir los rayos del sol, es agua dulce. Ese paraje tiene para muchos residentes y vecinos del lugar, cierta atmosfera de misterios, inaccesible a la razón, abriendo tus sentidos a lo desconocido.

Gaby, el más pequeño de los tres hermanos se percata que Luisito se alejó de ellos y avisó a Berto para buscarlo. Una vez los dos hermanos alcanzan a Luisito ,se encuentran con otros jóvenes en el lugar que se están tirando al pozo desde una piedra. La competencia que tenían era cuan profundo podían nadar para tocar el fondo del pozo. Berto que tenía gran habilidad para nadar y podía retener su respiración hasta por dos minutos, se motivo, y aceptó el reto de tirarse al pozo para llegar hasta el fondo. Así lo hizo por tres ocasiones, pero no pudo llegar. Comentaba que según iba profundizando el agua se tornaba mas fría, salada y con poca visibilidad y que al comenzar a subir se dejaba llevar por la claridad y el agua se iba calentando. Ya al llegar arriba el sabor del agua era dulce. Berto lo comenta con los demás muchachos y ellos le dicen que esa charca le llaman Pozo Brujo, que nadie ha podido tocar el fondo y que tiene agua dulce y salada. Lo cierto es que estudios realizados demuestran que el pozo conecta con las profundidades del mar. El nivel del agua cambia constantemente, sube y baja como las olas del mar, a diferentes horas del día, no importa cuanto llueva o cuan claro este el día.

Luisito por aquello de hacerse el gracioso pregunta: ¿Cuál era el encantamiento que el brujo hizo al pozo?, y se rió burlonamente.

Moncho, un veterano pescador que había llegado al lugar, estaba atento a la conversación y le comento a los muchachos que no se burlaran del lugar por que el pozo tenía un misterio oculto que su abuela le contó cuando niño.

Mama Yaya, decía que en las profundidades del pozo hay espíritus que buscan salir del fondo del mar y construyeron un túnel hasta la superficie de la tierra. Son tainos que fueron arrastrados por los maboyas en noches tormentosas atrapandolos en lugares miticos, llenos de poderes sobrenaturales. Nuestra isla fue poblada gracias a que estos valerosos tainos buscaron escaparse, pero muchos fueron convertidos en piedras por el sol y otros en arboles logrando proteger la salida, pero Guabirón, el portero del inframundo llenó de agua salada y dulce el túnel, para que los espíritus tainos no volvieran a Boriken. Son muy pocos los que saben que ese túnel es el pasaje por donde se pobló nuestra tierra, según el mito de la creación de los Tainos.

Berto, Luisito y Gaby quedaron atonitos y perplejos ante el relato del pescador que les dijo que contaran a sus amigos y familiares sobre el pozo brujo de Isabela. Al cabo de un rato decidieron irse para la playa a disfrutar de las espumosas olas que acarician la arena de la playa de Poza Clara. Atrás quedo Pozo Brujo arropado de vegetación y rocas guardando en sus oscuras y quietas aguas un pasaje secreto desde el inframundo prehistórico hacia nuestra realidad inmediata.

¡Atrevete a la aventura!

1 font technology

Alignment Placement of text in the margins of the page. Alignment can be left, right, justified, or centered. Left and right alignment is sometimes referred to as justification left or right. Extender Part of a lowercase letter (for example, k, b, and d) that extends beyond the x-height line of lowercase characters. Font baseline An imaginary line that contains most of the characters in the headset. Main text Paragraphs of text that make up the bulk of its content. Body text should be in an appropriate, easy-to-read font, typically 10 or 12 typographic points. Bold A typeface infused with darker and thicker lines to make the page stand out. Headings that require emphasis should be in bold type. Italics are usually used for emphasis in body text. Marker A period or other special character placed to the left of items in a list to indicate a sequence of separate but related items. Capital letters height The height of the capital letter above the baseline for a specific font. May or may not be equal to the height of the callouts. The height of capital letters is used in some systems to measure font size. Center Text placed equidistant from the left and right margins. Headings are often centered. In general, don’t confuse text centering with left or right justification. Symbol, symbol code

The word “symbol” is used differently in different contexts. In the context of modern computer operating systems, it is often defined as a code with a meaning associated with it. For example, decimal code 97 represents the letter “a”. Currently, on most operating systems, character codes are represented by an 8-bit unit of data known as a byte.

See also character encoding, glyph, keyboard layout.

Character display See “character encoding” Character encoding

An encoding is implemented in a font or computer operating system by a table that maps character codes to glyphs in a font. In most modern operating systems, character codes are represented by an 8-bit unit of data known as a byte. Thus, encoding tables are currently limited to a maximum of 256 character codes. Not all operating system manufacturers use the same encoding. For example, the Macintosh platform uses the standard Macintosh character set defined by Apple Computer, Inc., while the Windows operating system uses a completely different character set defined by Microsoft. Fortunately, OpenType fonts (and standard Type 1 fonts) contain all the glyphs required for both of these encodings, so they work correctly not only on these two operating systems, but on others as well.

Color See “typographic color”. Compressed A more compact version of the font used to get the maximum number of glyphs in a given space. Contrast The subjective feeling that graphical elements (such as fonts) are different but work well together. This gives a sense of diversity without losing harmony. Within a particular font, contrast also refers to the variety of line weights that make up the characters. The Helvetica font has low contrast, while Bodoni has high contrast. Autofit The process of adjusting the size and spacing of a font to fit within a specific area of ​​a page. Liner The portion of a lowercase letter (such as y, p, and q) that extends below the lowercase character baseline limit. In some typefaces, the uppercase J and Q also drop below the baseline. Dingbats Typefaces that consist of typographic characters such as ornaments, arrows, and list bullets. Display font A font that has been designed to look good at large character sizes, typically for use in headings. As a rule, such a font does not look very good at smaller sizes on a large body of text. A serif typeface at optical size will have lighter vertical strokes and even lighter serifs and bars than the same font at text size.dpi Abbreviation for dots per inch. Refers to the resolution at which a device (such as a monitor or printer) can display text and graphics. Monitors are typically less than 100 dpi and laser printers are more than 300 dpi. An image printed on a laser printer looks sharper than the same image on a monitor. Initial letter A design style in which the first letter of a paragraph is larger and aligned to the top of the first line. This method is used to mark the beginning of a new section of text, such as a chapter. Ellipsis A punctuation mark consisting of three dots in a row. This means that the word or phrase has been omitted. “Em”, wide space, round spacing A common unit in the field of typography. “Em” is traditionally defined as the width of the capital M in a given typeface and size. More correctly defined as simply the current point size. For example, in a font size of 12 typographic dots, “em” is a distance of 12 dots. Em dash A single em dash is used to indicate a break in a sentence. En, narrow space, semi-square A common unit in the field of typography. “En” is traditionally defined as the width of the capital N in a given typeface and size. More correctly defined as half the width of “em”. En dash A single en dash is used to indicate a range of values. Coding See “character encoding” Style One of the font family styles. For example, Garamond’s italic typeface is a style. Family Also known as a headset. A collection of styles that have been designed and intended to be used together. For example, the Garamond typeface consists of a straight style and italics, as well as regular, bold, and bold font weights. Each of the combinations of style and weight is called a style. Left Justification Left-aligned text is said to be off-left. If the same text is not right justified, it is said to be justified left, not justified right. The term “unjustified right” is sometimes used only for the same thing. Right justified Right-aligned text is referred to as off-right. If the same text is not left justified, it is said to be justified right, not justified left. The term “unjustified left” is sometimes used for just the same thing. Font One headset weight, width and style. Prior to the advent of scalable fonts, there was little distinction between the terms font, style, and typeface. The terms “font” and “style” are still used interchangeably, although the term “style” is generally more correct. Typeface Also known as a “family” A collection of faces that have been designed together and intended to be used together. For example, the Garamond typeface consists of a straight style and italics, as well as regular, bold, and bold font weights. Each of the combinations of style and weight is called a style. Glyph The word “glyph” is used differently in different contexts. In the context of modern computer operating systems, it is often defined as a form of font that is used to represent a character code on a screen or paper. The most common example of a glyph is a letter, but the characters and shapes of a font such as ITC Zapf Dingbats are also glyphs.

See also “character”, “character encoding”, “keyboard layout”.

Backset A text style in which the first line of a paragraph is left-aligned and the rest of the lines are equally indented. This is sometimes referred to as a “ledge”. This style is used to display lists of information. Header Brief lines of highlighted text that provide detailed information in the main text. As well as a category of styles that are designed to work with the title of the text. Hints Math instructions added to digitized fonts to make them legible at all sizes and on displays of various resolutions. Italic An oblique or handwriting-like version of the face. Straight styles are often referred to as “roman”. Justification A piece of text that is sparse so that the text aligns both left and right. Off-width text has a more formal look, but can be harder to read. Kerning

Change the spacing between individual characters in a line of text. Kerning is especially important on large monitors and in headers. Without kerning, many combinations of letters may look incorrect. The purpose of kerning is to create visually equal spacing between all letters so that the eye can move smoothly through the text.

Kerning can be automatically applied by a computer program for layout based on tables of values. Some programs also allow manual formatting to make fine adjustments.

Keyboard layout, keyboard mapping Sometimes referred to as “character mapping”, a keyboard layout or keyboard mapping is a table used by a computer operating system to manage a character code when a key or key combination is pressed.

See also “character”, “character encoding”, “glyph”.

Line space (leading) A space added between lines of text to make a document legible. The term originally referred to the tin whitespace material used by printers to physically increase the space between lines. Most applications automatically apply a standard line spacing based on the point size of the font. Small spacing is suitable for placing more text on the page, which reduces legibility. More spacing allows the text to spread out to fill the page and makes the document easier to read. Line spacing can be negative, in which case the lines of text are brought closer together so that they overlap or touch each other. Letter space Adjusts the average spacing between letters in a piece of text to fit text in a given space or to improve legibility. Kerning allows you to adjust the spacing between individual letters. An inter-letter space is applied to a piece of text as a whole. The inter-letter space is sometimes referred to as “tracking”. Ligature Two or more letters linked together to form one letter. In some typefaces, character combinations such as fi and fl overlap, making them ugly. The fi and fl ligatures were designed to improve the appearance of these characters. Letter combinations such as ff, ffl, and ffi are available in all Adobe OpenType Pro fonts and some Adobe OpenType Standard fonts. Field Spaces around text fragments. You usually need to adjust the margins around the edges of the page because most printers cannot print all the way to the edge. Margins also make the document prettier and easier to read. Tilt Oblique version of the character outline. Skew is similar to italic, but does not have the handwriting quality of true italic. Straight styles are commonly referred to as “roman”. Open Type The OpenType™ format is an extension of the earlier TrueType and Adobe® PostScript® Type 1 font formats. By agreement between Microsoft and Adobe Inc, it is technically an extension of Microsoft’s TrueType Open format, can contain either PostScript font outlines or TrueType font outlines in one font file that can be used on both Macintosh and Windows platforms. The format can also include an extended character set based on the Unicode encoding standard, as well as advanced typographic features for glyph positioning and substitution, allowing multiple alternate glyphs to be included in a single font file. Paragraph line Graphic lines associated with a paragraph that separate pieces of text from each other. Paragraph lines are commonly used to separate columns and graphics on a page. Some typesetting software allows you to create paragraph styles that include paragraph lines above or below a paragraph. Pika A unit of measure that is approximately 1/6 inch. The peak is equal to 12 points. The traditional British and American pick is 0.166 inches. In PostScript printers, the peak is exactly 1/6 inch. Item Unit of measurement in the print shop. An inch consists of approximately 72 points. The peak is 12 points. Points Generic font measurement method. The distance from the top of the tallest descender to the bottom of the lowest descender. In Europe, font is often measured by the height of the capital letter in millimetres. Raised capital A design style in which the first lowercase letter of a paragraph is larger and aligned with the baseline of the first line of text. Compare with letter. Reversible A technique for printing white or light text on a black or dark background for emphasis. This method greatly reduces legibility, especially for small fonts. roman Usually denotes a vertical style in a typeface (cf. italics). Line A solid or dashed graphic line in text that is used for individual page elements. Lines and other graphics should be used sparingly, only to clarify the function of other elements on the page. sans serif Sans serif font. This is usually a low contrast style. Sans serif fonts give documents a clean and simple look. Serif Small decorative touches added to the end of the main lines of a letter. Serifs improve readability by guiding the eye along the line of type. set solid Interline space equal to the font size in points used. Usually used only with large monitors. style One of the weights, such as italic and bold, that form the pattern of a font in a typeface. symbol Font category in which characters are special characters rather than alphanumeric characters. tabular figures Digits that have the same width. This simplifies table formatting. Tracking Average space between characters in a piece of text. Sometimes also referred to as “letter-space”. TrueType A scalable font technology that, along with OpenType, is built into both Windows and Mac OS. Type 1 The original international standard for scalable fonts developed by Adobe Inc. Type 1 is one of the most widely available digitized font formats, often used by professional graphic designers. Currently superseded by the OpenType format. Typeface The letters, numbers and symbols that make up the font design. The typeface is often part of a consistent design typeface. Individual fonts are named after the typeface and have a special designation such as italic, bold, or concise. Font family Also known as “family”. A collection of fonts that have been designed together and intended to be used together. For example, the Garamond typeface consists of a straight style and italics, as well as regular, bold, and bold font weights. Each of the combinations of style and weight is called a style. Print color Visible blackness of text fragment. Color is a function of the relative thickness of the lines that form the characters in a font, as well as the width, point size, and leading used to set up a piece of text. Not switched off Depending on the alignment, this term refers to text that is off-left, right-aligned, or centered. Weight Relative darkness of characters in various fonts within a typeface.
