Street signs in Erice.
Erice is a medieval hill town on the site of the ancient Eryx, 750 metres above sea level, overlooking Trapani. It has preserved its medieval character, with city walls, stone houses in a network of traditionally paved streets, and numerous churches.
Royal, majestic, elegant. These letters are based on Roman and Greek characters carved on stone. They come in 3 different styles. Normal and Shaded are designed to have serifs with a finer thinning. On the other hand, Metallic is bolder and simulates in the most realistic way three-dimensional metallic lettering. There are some alternate characters placed at lowercase positions as well as a few stylistic alternates which are accessed throught the opentype features. Pay attention to letters like Greek Omega (lowercase position) and Greek Xi (lowercase position) as well as B, R, K (lowercase position). Monumenta Pro was recently upgraded to support Latin, Greek and Cyrillic.

The Express, like the Mail, has, as Ben Goldacre puts it, "been sifting through all the inanimate objects in the world, soberly dividing them into the ones which either cause - or cure - cancer."
Walloon - Dutch Church
The Walloon Dutch Church at the French avenue is despite its extensive destruction a highly significant monument.

Historical view of the Walloon -Dutch Church Hanau in 1930
With the settlement of Walloon and Dutch religious refugees from 1597 in Hanau Neustadt also the construction of a house of worship for both communities was undertaken.
View of the church today
From 1600-1608 the powerful double church was built. Until its destruction on 19 March 1945 by an Allied air raid it presented through the structural connection of two houses of worship in a for all visible symbol the religious unity of the new citizens (Neubürger).
Monument to Count Philipp Ludwig II, the founder of Neustadt, at the Walloon-Dutch Church
In the roof of the church existed once six floors of four to five meters in height. It offered about 2000 parishioners space. The church clock was on 11 November 1611 brought from the Steinheim gate in the church tower. The approximately three meters long, three meters deep and two meters high monument of unique watchmaker's art is now in the city store of Hanau city hall at the market square. It is one of the largest and oldest of its kind in Germany. After the destruction in the Second World War, the Dutch church was rebuilt in its original form, while the ruins of the larger Walloon Church should remember as memorial (and reminding place - Mahnstätte) to the destruction of the city.
Was integrated into the building the Diakoniezentrum of Katinka Platzhoff Foundation of Walloon-Dutch community Hanau.
The Walloon Church does not only stand for the history of Walloon and Dutch religious refugees, and the establishment of new Hanau, with all its economic, scientific and cultural radiances to the whole of Europe. The building has also written sports history: here was on 3rd April in 1848 during the first day of the general German gymnastics founded the German Gymnastics Federation.

One of the downsides of being well cared for here in Bombay is that no one will allow themselves to let you pass even a moment of discomfort. Whatever I need to do - cabs are called, drivers summoned, and I cram my too-tall frame into a too-small space and a jarring, noisy, stop-start adventure through the streets begins. I miss walking, cycling, running, getting by on my own steam. "too far", "too dangerous", "what??" is the reply to each of those. After a particularly long day sweating in one car after another, knowing that I could have walked the 5km home in a hour and taking that same time to be driven, I said "I'm taking the stairs." But here is the lift, come on. "I'M TAKING THE STAIRS." So, the steps go by, two by two, and then one by one, flight by flight. The stairs are more used for storage than access; bags of cement, an old toilet, stacks of wood, unidentified items that surely must be rubbish. The ground drops away 5th floor, 10th floor, 15th floor. The walls, though barely two or three years old, are thickly stained with paan that has been spat by the workers. I see the entryways to the apartments; there is a Rainforest Cafe wannabe, here is Failed Funky, now I see Religious Wreck. The 18th floor comes at last. My legs ache, at last.
In 1929, a farmer unearthed a large stash of jade relics while digging a well, many of which found their way through the years into the hands of private collectors. Generations of Chinese archaeologists searched the area without success until 1986, when workers accidentally found sacrificial pits containing thousands of gold, bronze, jade, and pottery artifacts that had been broken (perhaps ritually disfigured), burned, and carefully buried. The first sacrificial pit was found on the site of the Lanxing Second Brick Factory on July 18th 1986. The second sacrificial pit was found a little less than a month later on August 14th, 1986 only 20-30 meters from the first one. Bronze objects found in the second sacrificial pit included male sculptures, animal-faced sculptures, bells, decorative animals such as dragons, snakes, chicks, and birds, and axes, that radiocarbon dating dated as being from the 12th-11th centuries BCE. Tables, masks and belts were some of the objects found made out of gold while objects made out of jade included axes, tablets, rings, knives and tubes. There was also a large amount of ivory and clam shells. Researchers were astonished to find an artistic style that was completely unknown in the history of Chinese art, whose baseline had been the history and artifacts of the Yellow River civilization(s).
All the Sanxingdui discoveries aroused scholarly interest, but the bronzes were what excited the world. Task Rosen of the British Museum considered them to be more outstanding than the Terracotta Army in Xi'an.
The culture of the Sanxingdui site is thought to be divided into several phases. The Sanxingdui Culture which corresponds to periods II-III of the site, was a mysterious civilization in southern China. This culture is contemporaneous with the Shang Dynasty, however they developed a different method of bronze-making from the Shang. The first phase which corresponds to period I of the site belongs to the Baodun, and the final phase (period IV) the culture merged with Ba and Chu cultures. The Sanxingdui culture ended, possibly either as a result of natural disasters (evidence of massive flooding were found), or invasion by a different culture.
