In Nicaragua coffee cultivation began early but it did not
dominate the economy as in Guatemala and El Salvador. Coffee
cultivation began in the lands in the southern uplands in
earnest in the 1860's where the transition from other commercial
agricultural endeavors was smooth. But the prime coffee growing
lands in Nicaragua turned out to be in the north central
highlands, where Indians owned most of the land, and a familiar

Very Precise Fortune Cookies By David Leonhardt
I cracked open the fortune cookie and read the little slip of
paper on the inside. Immediately I realized that it had been
written by a weather forecaster.
"You will be approached in the late afternoon by a pink
polka-dot octopus..."
It continued on the other side: "... and asked to provide
details of your application for a yellow cloud mulching permit."
Two things struck me about this particular fortune. The first is

Introduction
As a full-time freelance writer, I spend a lot of time trying
new publishing ideas and learning how to market my services.
Most of my work is web-centered, so I love the challenge of
innovation in content creation. I also love the fact that when
you're a writer on the web, you are more in control of your
marketing efforts than you will ever be offline.
When I made the decision to write an eBook, it really didn't
occur to me to NOT self-publish. I already had a website and ...

France in 1723 when King Louis XV sent three coffee plants to
the French colony of Martinique, some 1200 miles to the SW of
Jamaica. Five years later in 1728 the governor of Jamaica, Sir
Nicholas Lawes, received one coffee plant as a gift from the
Governor of Martinique. The plant took root with vigor and only
nine years later, in 1737, coffee exportation began with an
initial shipment of 83,000 lbs. The Jamaican coffee industry ...
