When I was a child and living in Puerto Rico, a long time ago that is, there were acerola bushes everywhere. You could find them on the side of the road, by pastures, en el monte, by the beach, and in peoples yards. They are called West Indian Cherries in English. Acerolas are sweet and tart as well. Acerola is a large, relatively fast growing bushy shrub or small tree (to 15 feet). Fruits are round to oblate, cherry-like but with 3 lobes. They are bright red (rarely yellow-orange) with thin skin, easily bruised. The pulp is juicy, acid to sub-acid occasionally nearly sweet, with a delicate flavor and apple notes. The fruit is very high in Vitamin C, up to 4,000 mg per 100 g fresh weight, but typically around 1,500 mg C. Green fruits have twice the Vitamin C level of mature fruits. Fruits develop to maturity in less than 25 days. Seeds typically three with fluted wings, forming a triangle. Many aspects of seed viability have not been studied.

Ivette Farah Mildred Lanie JULY 2005 EL BORICUA PAGE 3 La Tiendita Visit la isla . Have you ever visited the Park of Camuy River Caverns? Or walked through the beautiful State Forest of Río Abajo, Cambalache, or Guajataca? Have you ever fixed your eyes upon the red earth where the pineapples are planted between Barceloneta and Manatí? If you have answered yes, you have been in the Puerto Rican karst region. The karst is that region of limestone, which is characterized by subterranean rivers, mogotes, sinkholes, canyons, valleys and caves. Mogotes are tall beehive-shaped hills of limestone, often covered by dense forest. Millions of Trabalenguas . years ago sediments and skeletons of marine organisms accumulated at the bottom of shallow seas and eventually hardened to form limestone. Geological Paco Peco, chico rico, movement elevated the limestone to the surface. Through time, the tropical le gritabá como loco climate with its intense rains and flash floods sculptured the limestone to create a su tío Federico. a spectacular topography of mogote karst, channels, cliffs, caves, caverns, Y éste le dijo: depressions, sinkholes, and an enormous network of tunnels and cracks. Lots -¡Poco a poco, Paco Peco, poco pico of water circulates through and accumulates in these underground formations. The rain, which falls in the karst zone rapidly travels from the recharge areas (such as sinkholes, fractures, and cracks) and is conducted underground to the discharge points (springs and water holes). In many places, these conduits are Refrán Puertorriqueño . in fact caves, created by that very same flow of water. Al que se muda, Dios lo ayuda. The karst topography can be observed in the northern section of the island between Loíza and Aguada. We can also see isolated karst outcroppings at other points throughout the main island such as Aguas Buenas, Cayey and Cabo Rojo, as well as on the adjacent islands of Mona and Vieques. YOUR AD The karst region occupies some 617 square miles, approximately 20 percent of Puerto Rico's total land mass. This is the area where the conical topography of the mogotes is most developed, particularly to the west of the Río La Plata. FITS HERE The karst region contains our greatest source of underground water. Practically all the municipalities from Dorado to Hatillo and the industries located there utilize these reserves. Many of the northern rivers and other BORICUA . bodies of water also receive a significant part of their volume from these underground fountains. is a powerful word.

  • Catholic Flashback: Remembering the 1978 Election of Pope St. John Paul II
    Catholic Flashback: Remembering the 1978 election of Pope St. John Paul II October 16, 1978: The first balcony appearance of newly-elected Pope John Paul II (CNS File Photo) Where were you on October 16, 1978? I was between classes at college in Philadelphia when word came through the hallways that white smoke had been seen coming from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel. After three days of waiting, we finally had a new pope! I rushed to turn on my tiny black and white TV, and watched as the crowds grew in St. Peter’s Square while commentators speculated as to which Italian cardinal might become the 264th leader of the Roman Catholic Church. I will never forget the announcement in Latin that Cardinal Karol Jozef Wojtyla (1920-2005), at age 58, had been elected as the 263rd successor of St. Peter the Apostle. The news commentators were struggling to figure out who he was, from which country he came, and how to pronounce his name. You see, Pope John Paul II was the first non-Italian pope in 455 years. Those reporting on the conclave from both the Catholic and secular press were all assuming that this new pontiff would also be Italian. Instead, the College of Cardinals elected the Archbishop of Krakow, Poland, who had served in that position since 1963 and who was named a cardinal by Pope Paul VI in 1967. Ten interesting facts about the election of Pope John Paul II: 1. The Year of Three Popes: This was the second time in less than eight weeks that Catholics from around the world gathered in front of our televisions to learn the outcome of a papal election.

  • Reconfiguring the Extraterritorial History, Language, and Identity in Selected Works by Edwidge Danticat and Junot Díaz
    Reconfiguring the Extraterritorial History, Language, and Identity in selected works by Edwidge Danticat and Junot Díaz by Camilo Chiappe Bejar A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy UCL 1 I, Camilo Chiappe Bejar confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. ________________ 2 ABSTRACT This thesis argues for a reassessment of the concept of extraterritorial literature—a term coined by George Steiner in the late sixties to highlight the global approach of nomad authors who refused to belong to a single national tradition by means of linguistic experimentation. It does so by examining a variety of examples from the work of Edwidge Danticat and Junot Díaz, two authors born in separate nations within the same island (Hispaniola) who live in the United States and who write in a language strange yet adjacent to their countries of origin. Danticat and Díaz express their extraterritoriality through three different approaches: By reframing the ‘official’ historical discourse of Haiti and the Dominican Republic in the 20th century perpetuated by the military regimes of the Duvaliers and Trujillo; by diversifying theories of identity creation and the migrant’s role within and outside of his or her diaspora; and by reconfiguring the elocution of a new extraterritorial language which challenges pre-established parameters through the subversion of Core languages. On a larger scale, this thesis contends that, in an increasingly fluid contemporary world, extraterritorial literature can serve as a counterpoint to the insular concerns of canonical systems of classification and standardised concepts of national literature.
