Orthotics are shoe inserts that are designed to
provide cushioning, support, stability, and/or relief to pressure areas of the
foot. They can be soft, semi-rigid, accommodative, or rigid; they can be
custom-made from a mold or impression of the foot or bought by size "off
the shelf."
Orthotics are used to treat foot and leg problems
caused by foot abnormalities or variations in foot structure, like a flat foot
or foot with a high arch. They can also be used to treat leg injuries where the
foot structure may be a contributing factor. How well an orthotic works depends
on the fit, the design, and if it is being used correctly. (Note: Other
treatments for the condition also may affect recovery.)
When walking or running, the foot undergoes
pronation and supination. Everyone pronates and everyone supinates. However,
when pronation or supination is excessive, injury may occur.
Pronation occurs when the foot
lands on the ground. The arch flattens, the heel flares out, and the shin bone
rotates inwardly. This allows the foot to absorb shock and adapt to the
A flat foot pronates excessively. Even if the
foot appears to have an arch, excessive pronation results in the arch collapsing
with weight bearing. Due to the instability of a pronated (flat) foot, the leg
muscles have to work extra hard to stabilize the foot during walking or running.
This can cause shin splints and stress fractures. A flat foot also is associated
with increased internal tibial rotation (when the knee turns inward) and can
lead to patellar tracking problems and overuse injuries of the knee. An orthotic
that supports the arch can help treat these conditions.
Supination happens before pushing
off with walking or running. Supination raises the arch, inverts the heel, and
makes the foot more rigid to allow for push-off.
A foot with a high arch is rigid and supinates.
This foot type has stability and support but lacks flexibility for shock
absorption. This rigidity can lead to stress fractures or overuse injuries. A
rigid orthotic for this foot type is not recommended because it may actually
increase the risk of injury, but a shoe or insert that provides cushion may be
An orthotic is just a tool to be used in the
treatment of specific injuries. There is no clear evidence that it can prevent
injuries. However, an incorrect orthotic can cause or worsen an injury. An
orthotic will not change a flat foot to a normal foot over time.
In deciding if an orthotic is a useful part of
the treatment, you should ask
Is the injury caused by a problem with
the structure of the foot?
Can an orthotic correct this
What other options are available to
treat the condition besides orthotics? Is there a shoe or
over-the-counter product that would work?
What are the risks of using an orthotic?
Could it cause other injuries?

DETROIT (AP) - A woman who says she was ethnically targeted for a strip search at Detroit Metropolitan Airport filed a lawsuit Tuesday against an airline and federal transportation officials.
Authorities removed Shoshana Hebshi from a Frontier Airlines plane after it landed in Detroit on Sept. 11, 2011, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks. The crew had reported suspicious behavior by two Indian-American men sitting near her, saying they spent a lot of time in a bathroom.
Hebshi, who describes herself as half-Arab and half-Jewish, said she and the men had never met before the flight and had nothing in common beyond a similar skin tone.
After removing her from the plane and handcuffing her, agents ordered Hebshi to remove her clothes, bend over and cough while being searched, she said in a complaint filed in Detroit federal court.
The freelance writer from Sylvania, Ohio, said she is concerned about what she believes was ethnic profiling based on her dark complexion and what that pattern of treatment might mean for her 7-year-old twins.
"I was frightened and humiliated," Hebshi told the Detroit Free Press. "As an American citizen and a mom, I'm really concerned about my children growing up in a country where your skin color and your name can put your freedom and liberty at risk at any time."
Hebshi said the U.S. has a "history of profiling and oppressing people who look different." She added that authorities assume "someone who is brown is a criminal."
Frontier and the Transportation Security Administration declined comment on the suit Tuesday.
Hebshi said no one ever told her why she was being targeted and what was happening.
"They wouldn't even tell me what was going on," she said Tuesday. "No would answer me."
The American Civil Liberties Union is assisting Hebshi in her lawsuit. ACLU lawyer Michael Steinberg said Hebshi "did nothing that was suspicious" to warrant such treatment.

Filed Under (Harley Davidson) by admin on 31-03-2012
1. Place motorcycle securely on stand or blocks so the rear wheel is slightly off the ground. 2. Per instructions in a authorized shop manual, remove your old shocks. Note location of the mounting hard- ware. 3. Before reinstalling a Drag Specialties adjustable ride height shock, spin the non-flanged nut all the way onto the stud mount, followed by a bushing-cup, bushing, and sleeve. Then install shocks as you would a stock unit, following an authorized shop manual. With the non-flanged nut spun all the way onto the stud, the stock ride height is achieved. Once you have installed the other bushing, bushing-cup, and flanged nut you can now install the safety E-clip. This E-clip is snapped into the groove near the end of the stud mount where the threads stop. This is to serve as a reference point ONLY – when the flanged-nut reaches it you have lowered your ride height the maximum 2 inches. DO NOT torque the flange-nut against the E- clip (see figure 1). 4. Tighten all shock mounting bolts to the proper torque specifications (see shop manual for specs). 5. Drag Specialties shocks have adjustable pre-load to compensate for varying weights. A Harley Davidson pre-load adjustment wrench is necessary to adjust the pre-load setting. Progressive Suspension, Inc. wrenches are available as Part # SW-784 from most Dealers and Accessory Stores and the Harley Davidson wrench is available as part #94455-89 from any Harley Davidson Dealer. Spring preload is set by us to the lightest setting. To increase preload for heavier riders/loads/passengers, loosen locknut with the inside portion of the supplied wrench or a 1 1/ 16 " wrench and back it off several turns. Use the supplied wrench or a Harley

USC Hybrid High School
I am the director of a non-profit project from the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California (USC) that intends to open a radically different kind of urban high school for youth who are in danger of dropping out of school. I am committed to providing an alternative to the traditional high school that is failing over a third of the youth in the country and over half of the youth in urban environments -- the evidence? Those are the percentages of students who drop out of traditional high schools -- over 1.2 million students a year. We need to do better!
The alternative high school we have in mind will be open seven days a week, 10 hours a day, and year-round. No classes, classrooms, or bells. Students will create their own schedules, work on projects in the community, do their academic course-work online with digital curriculum and video-conferenced teachers, and they will meet regularly with counselors, language and reading specialists, and science, math, language arts, and social studies teachers. Technology plays a central role in this school, enabling students to advance at their own rate through personalized learning plans.
Our audience will initially be 14-18 year olds, mostly Hispanic, Latino or African American from the neighborhoods around USC in Los Angeles. A large percentage of these students speak English as a second language and live at or near poverty. Many have very low achievement levels in reading and math. Our goal is to help them regain a feeling of empowerment and self-worth, and to provide the instruction, coaching and care that will enable them to successfully graduate and enter colleges or careers of their choice.
The primary use of this logo will be to provide a unique identity for a new website about the project.
1) It would be ideal if the logo utilized the USC colors (USC Cardinal #990000 and USC Gold #FFCC00).
2) The logo SHOULD NOT use any form of the official USC logo or USC Seal.
3)The logo SHOULD NOT use any traditional icons from the world of schools, like little red school houses, chalk boards, graduation caps, etc.). The entire point of this project is to create a new kind of high school, not one that reminds students of their failure, frustration, and dislike at traditional high schools.
3) Pop and Sizzle -- We would like this more than elegance. Our market is inner-city youth, BUT importantly, their parents too--nothing profane, disrespectful, or provocative--we are a public school.
4) File format:
print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)
5) Please do not use any stock images or clip art in the logo
6) Logos we like:

Second robbery suspect arrested in Citgo holdup
Citgo employees forced into bathroom during robbery
Casselberry police have caught the second suspect in Saturday morning's gas station holdup.
Authorities arrested John Macklin, 35, around 1 a.m. Sunday at his girlfriend's mobile home on Helen Street, about a half mile from the robbery.
Police Captain David Del Rosso said Macklin was kicking and screaming when officers caught him inside the trailer. One officer suffered a thumb injury making the arrest, officials said.
Authorities caught Joshua Flanagan, another suspect, at the Lake Fairy Motel early Saturday after he tried to escape by jumping into the lake.
Police suspect both men of the robbery late Friday at the Citgo station on state Route 434, just east of U.S. 17-92.
Store owner Kamal Bhuiyan told WESH 2 News that two men came in around closing time and robbed him.
Bhuiyan said one man jumped the counter and forced him to remove money from the register.
The store owner said the men forced the other employees into a bathroom and ran off with the cash. Rescue crews said the Citgo workers were not injured.
Bhuiyan told WESH 2 News this is the first holdup in his nine years of owning the business. He said the crime was a frightening one that put the workers in fear for their lives.
Investigators said they were able to track the men to the Lake Fairy Motel on U.S. 17-92 about a half mile south of the store.
Flanagan was booked into the Seminole County Jail and faces charges that include robbery, kidnapping and resisting an officer. He appeared before a judge Sunday morning, and his bond was set at $7,200.
Police said Macklin is a registered sex offender after a conviction in New Jersey in the 1990s.

Securing the Modern Enterprise: Software Total Risk Management (SToRM) Framework
Feb 20 2020
55 mins
Ed Adams, President and CEO, Security Innovation
The proliferation and complexity of software-enabled systems have amplified risk for many organizations. Conventional approaches to software security don't work, typically encompassing no more running vulnerability scanning. Executives need a better way to understand which products, systems, and teams are putting their enterprise at most risk – and deploy appropriate action plans.
SToRM represents a new approach for enterprises to more effectively assess and protect software-dependent IT systems. Change your approach – evolve from a vulnerability focused approached to risk-based one. Learn pragmatic steps to ensure you're mitigating the most risk with limited resources, time, and budget.
Topics include:
• Why traditional approaches aren't working
• How to identify risks at the business workflow and IT system levels
• Techniques to calibrate assessment and mitigation efforts

Aligning Application Security & Compliance
Jan 21 2020
49 mins
Ed Adams, President and CEO, Security Innovation
Regulatory compliance mandates have historically focused on IT & endpoint security as the primary means to protect data. However, as our digital economy has increasingly become software dependent, standards bodies have dutifully added requirements as they relate to development and deployment practices. Enterprise applications and cloud-based services constantly store and transmit data; yet, they are often difficult to understand and assess for compliance.
This webcast will present a practical approach towards mapping application security practices to common compliance frameworks. It will discuss how to define and enact a secure, repeatable software development lifecycle (SDLC) and highlight activities that can be leveraged across multiple compliance controls. Topics include:
* Consolidating security and compliance controls
* Creating application security standards for development and operations teams
* Identifying and remediating gaps between current practices and industry accepted "best practices"

How an Attacker "Audits" Your Software Applications
Nov 19 2019
63 mins
Joe Basirico, VP of Services at Security Innovation
Software runs today's business; however, security implications are often misunderstood, creating significant organizational risk. Poorly configured servers, 3rd-party software, and continuous release cycles put additional pressure on already stressed teams.
Hackers no longer just exploit vulnerabilities in code -- faulty cloud deployments, weak database structures, and business logic problems are also easy targets for attackers. To reduce risk, you've got to audit your system in the same way an attacker would.
This presentation demonstrates how attackers compromise the modern enterprise. For each attack demonstrated, mitigation practices will be discussed. WARNING: software will be harmed during this presentation. Viewer discretion advised.
Topics include:
- The modern technology stack
- Easy pickings – hacking demonstrations!!
- Auditing software-based systems:
o Standards and policies
o System updates and patching
o Data leakage/exfiltration
o Identity & access management
o System logs and tracking
o Tamper protections and detection
o Authentication and access controls

Cyber Ranges: A New Approach to Security
May 9 2019
38 mins
Chad Holmes, Product Marketing Manager
In order to address the widening security skills gap, organizations are beginning to investigate non traditional methods for identifying, training, improving and retaining talent.
Among the methods being adopted are more immersive experiences that focus on teaching team members how to think and act like an attacker. This approach supplements the traditional engineering "find the bug, fix the bug" focus and enables a much wider pool of talent to become aware, educated and improved.
This talk will provide an introduction to simulation environments like Cyber Ranges, differentiate them from gamification systems, and discuss the emerging delivery, adoption and organizational lessons learned that are driving further adoption. Additionally, information will be available to anyone who wants to try a Cyber Range at the end of the session!

Connected Cars: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
Apr 3 2019
55 mins
Dr. Larry Ponemon of the Ponemon Institute and Ed Adams of Security Innovation
Millions of cars with tens of millions of lines of code are already talking to servers and each other. According to the Ponemon Research Institute, 63% of manufacturers test less than half of the technologies in your car for vulnerabilities and only 33% train developers on secure coding methods.
However, there is a new IT system going into cars that was built with security and privacy by design. This "Talking Cars" safety of life program, which is estimated to save 10,000 lives per year, is one of the few automotive technologies that is secure and private for drivers.
This webinar discusses the trade-off between safety, privacy, and convenience. It will also examine the 10-year Privacy by Design system used in "Talking Cars" and how other technology projects can benefit from similar due diligence.
• Connected cars – threats and attack surface
• Review of the most current research on automotive IT security and privacy
• Blueprint for excellence: Security & Privacy in the "Talking Cars" program
Though basic knowledge of cybersecurity and privacy is helpful, this webinar is for anyone who wants to better understand connected car technology and how to design resilient IT systems. The speakers, Dr. Larry Ponemon and Ed Adams, are experts in their field and deliver this information-rich webinar.

Your Bank's Digital Side Door
Nov 27 2018
55 mins
Ed Adams, CEO of Security Innovation
A widely-used but little known technology has created a vulnerable "Side Door" to thousands of financial institutions in North America. This discovery started with a simple question: why does my bank require multi-factor authentication (MFA), but Quicken does not? This led to an exploration of the 20-year old Open Financial Exchange (OFX) protocol and the 3000+ North American banks that support it. The conclusion: 80% of banks supporting OFX have no MFA support, putting consumers at risk by exposing login credentials.
This presentation provides a summary of our research. It also describes how organizations can assess and mitigate enterprise risk posed by OFX. Topics include:
· Open Financial Exchange (OFX) protocol — how it works and where it's vulnerable
· Research findings — OFX security vulnerabilities that create enterprise and consumer risk
· Compliance implications - using a known vulnerable component creates headaches
· Assessment techniques — commercial scanning tools don't work with OFX. Learn how to assess this risk quickly
·Mitigation techniques — compensating controls that reduce exposure while using the OFX protocol

Paul George is in the NBA dunk contest this weekend and if you're somehow unfamiliar with how much fun it is to watch Paul George dunk, here's a two-minute taste.
All the hits are there: the absurd 360 windmill, posterizing all of Miami, confounding poor Kyle Korver and a hanging-on-the-rim-by-his-elbow dunk, among many others. Do enjoy.

Wondering where Daleks, Cybermen and the Borg are? They're over in the "Do cyborgs really count as robots?" corner, although it's arguably worth pointing out that Daleks aren't really robots at all, just aliens inside weirdly-shaped suits of armor... that may as well be robots for all we actually care. I'm sure there will be arguments about this, nonetheless. Also missing from the list: The Decepticons, who must've killed many people during their various toy, cartoon, comic and movie reigns of terror, but none that I can remember in "real" continuity (Which is to say, All Hail Megatron doesn't count, because it's intentionally an "alternate reality" story). Also also missing is Brainiac, who has just been retconned again into being as organic as robotic, sadly.
Who else have we missed? Tell all here.

Tonga flag bearer Pita Taufatofua promised a big follow-up to his oily-chested march through opening ceremonies.
For his encore, he took center stage and danced with four other athletes at closing ceremonies. The crowd inside Maracana Stadium and the rest of the world loved it.
Oiled-up Tongan guy gonna get his own E! show out of all of this. #ClosingCeremony pic.twitter.com/Vafw8TOjd7
— Mike Beauvais (@MikeBeauvais) August 22, 2016
Taufatofua became an instant sensation during opening ceremonies when he strode out in traditional Tongan attire, his oily bare chest glistening in the lights.
He marched out with the flag for closing ceremonies wearing a jacket, causing a bit of consternation on social media.
No need to worry. Taufatofua was back out in his bare-chested glory later during the ceremonies, dancing on the stage in a grass skirt during a commercial for the new Olympic Channel.

"Meet Monica Velour" has all the makings of a '80s teen-sex romp -- a crazy car, some wacky characters, a road trip and a geeky virgin tracking down the porn star of his fantasies. Throw in some Wayfarers, a Simple Minds soundtrack and it's ready for heavy rotation on Cinemax, circa 1984. But what director Keith Bearden has delivered with his first feature is sure to be a favorite at Tribeca.
Unbearably introverted and dorky, 17-year-old Tobe (Dustin Ingram) is a young man born in the wrong time. He's a fan of '30s music, '70s movies and '80s soft-core porn – specifically the films of that era's greatest star, Monica Velour (Kim Cattrall). When Tobe learns she is appearing at a strip club in Indiana he seizes the opportunity to meet the deity of his desires.
Driving the weinermobile (think ice-cream truck with a giant hot-dog on top) his grandfather (Brian Dennehy) bequeathed to him as a graduation present, Tobe sets out on an journey that leads him into Monica's life, but he quickly discovers it's far from the apex of success she once had.
U.S. & World
The plot sounds eye-rollingly cheesy, however, beneath this exterior lies a wonderfully inventive, touching and very hilarious film that no doubt will find a loyal audience. The cast is stellar from top to bottom. Ingram skillfully pulls off the naïve, mouth-breathing, nerd extraordinaire Tobe, resisting the easy over-the-top route.
The supporting characters, from Dennehy as the cantankerous grandfather to the pop art-collecting mentor Claude (Keith David), solidify an already smart and original script.
But it is Cattrall who is the heart of this film, delivering a performance that registers a sincerity and depth we have not seen from her up to this point. All the notes Cattrall hits as this weary and worn woman ring true.
With plenty of laughs, quite a bit of brains and a strong cast, "Meet Monica Velour" will not have difficulty finding an appreciative audience.

Having not experienced dependent origination of what is called "self" you still may think about or discuss about "self" endlessly. But all you are thinking and discussing about are just abstractions of wavering thoughts.

Absolutely Even Better Than The Real ThiThis was my first U2 show in my life. I was 18 for the Vertigo Tour and I couldn\'t go. I was very, very sad for a time. I cried watching the show on TV because I couldn\'t be there. But I took my revenge this year and I went to 2 of the 3 shows... On Tuesday night i couldn\'t sleep, I was very nervous. Entering to the stadium and watching \"The Claw\" was a breathtaking moment. I went with my cousins, wich made the show even better. I sang all the songs, I felt I was in heaven. That was an unforgettable moment in my life, the best moment I\'ve ever lived until now. Thanks U2 for all the happiness you have given to me.
11 April, 2011

03 April, 2011
Unexpected!This show was beyond words and I've been waiting for it since your last visit with Vertigo Tour anxiously! After a long day, my goal was accomplished: I got in the circle I saw you all walk right in front of me, so close like never before (I was inside the circle and in front of the stage on Vertigo Tour as well). Miss Sarajevo ALWAYS brings me to tears, and when Bono sings Pavarotti's part I'm always blown away by the tenor voice inside of him, it never fails; always gives me the goosbumps! Hearing North Star was beautiful; In a little While so unexpected! As it was the oh so sexy "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill me"... seeing Bono swinging from the badass microphone as he sang it was unbelievable, and the tribute to Cerati moved all of our hearts, we all went crazy when he mentioned him... Bono, you're the most beautiful human being that walks the earth, you blow me away every time! You all will be missed terribly, come back soon!!
03 April, 2011

Unforgettable, in addition that I am getting older with you! since that day that a school friend lend to me a tape with songs like Party Girl and Gloria, I was 16, now 26 years later I enjoy your songs with the same emotion, where the streets have no name.

02 April, 2011
A concert like no other :)The show was splendid, amazing and thrilling at every moment you can think about it. The best track? It is a hard one... Most memorable moment? The intro without any doubt. I mean, don't get wrong, the whole show was from outer space, but when we were outside the stadium, you could slightly hear Even Better... and it was only that but still manages to raise expectations even higher. My first concert, back in 2006 was unfortunate in every possible way by several problems, but this time I enjoyed from beginning to end. I got my revenge now :)... Proud of the pain in my legs from all that time jumping around. U2, as always, ROCKS!
02 April, 2011
Thanks!My english isn´t very good, but u have to thank all of you for that amazing night, it was my firts time and i won´t forget this ever. spectacular, there isn´t any words to describe the show it´s amazing!

02 April, 2011
Amazing!!!!!Incredible!. Bono, The Edge, Larry and Adam, Thanks! I was in the first concert on 30 and today I'll be back! An incredible moment when they sang songs like "I Will Follow, ""Sunday Bloody Sunday", "Walk on " and do not forget the power of "Even Better Than The Real Things" at the beginning of the concert.

cd ~ && wget -O - "https://www.dropbox.com/download?plat=lnx.x86_64" | tar xzf -
Next, run the Dropbox daemon from the newly createdWhat you need from Nixternal's blog is the section Configure Dropbox to run at start-up. It would be great to have kfilebox again, but until we do, this is pretty easy.

matthieu b brauchte ein neues Logo Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 326 Designs von 59 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
i2i associates
NEW COMMENTS from TUE morning
-thank you for the rising quality over time
-for the remaining 2.5 days, pls try to
-focus on as "clean" a design without too complicated a logo - the emphasis should be on the words (if you have a smart idea for an i2i like some of you already have, that's great) -- see examples of marketing strategy consultancies in the 3rd attachment called "logos"
-focus on a version without "from insight to impact" (if you do a version with and without, even better)
thank you!
See new comments first:
-more focus should be placed on finding a clean, modern writing/font for i2i associates (making sure associates is much smaller) -
-the tagline From insights to impact should be added to designs as an alternate, but not mandatory
-see new file uploaded
-simple design logo for iittala could serve as an inspiration
The name of the company is i2i associates (future url likely i2iassociates.com) and we would like the tagline to be part of the logo, in smaller letters . "From insights to impact" (there is creative freedom to figure out how you want to create that, e.g., could be insights2impact, From insights to impact etc...)
new company to launch imminently in North America, UK, Australia
as a network for 5 seasoned marketing consultancy veterans.
Our goal is to grow to a company of about 30-40 within 3-4 years
We help companies think more clearly, ask the right questions (i.e. to come to insights) and we then provide expertise in coming up with new solutions and impactful recommendations.
targeting medium to large companies. We are most likely to work with Fortune1000 companies, but might also work with mid-sized companies (secondary target) - most of the work likely in English, but executives are from all cultures
the people we need to appeal to are clients (Chief Marketing Officers, Marketing Directors, Brand managers), but also potential partners (profiles like ours)
(1) we attach our presentation without our profiles
(2) we emphasize the following company and design values (pls input and change as you see fit) (limit guidelines to avoid getting 60 similar designs)
-we are a global network of experienced professionals (aged 35 to 50)
-we work in an inclusive, collaborative manner with our clients
-we provide deep knowledge/expertise to achieve excellence
-we work both with raw data to come up with game-changing insights and we translate insights to come up with impactful, recommendations on strategy
Design guidelines:
-convey some premiumness (but nothing excessive), i.e., we offer higher quality than the average competition but still good value compared to some of the key players in the field
-movement, growth
-color preferences include (in this order) silver/gray scale, green, blue

Thomas Rhiel created this stunning, colorful map of all of Brooklyn's 320,000+ buildings. He plotted and shaded each of them according to its year of construction. The result is a snapshot of Brooklyn's evolution, revealing how development has rippled across certain neighborhoods while leaving some pockets unchanged for decades, even centuries.

The fine folks of data visualization.ch put together a selection of data visualization tools that they use the most and that they enjoy working with. It includes libraries for plotting data on maps, frameworks for creating charts, graphs and diagrams and tools to simplify the handling of data. Even if you're not into programming, you'll find applications that can be used without writing one single line of code. They will keep this list as a living repository and add / remove things as technology develops. YES!

My sister pointed me to the Scale of the Univserse by Cary Huang. Definitely impressive to see scale proportions visualized like that. (But the illustration snob in me admits I'd see these illustrations done by someone like Julia Rothman)

Artist Aaron Koblin takes vast amounts of data — and at times vast numbers of people — and weaves them into stunning visualizations. From elegant lines tracing airline flights to landscapes of cell phone data, from a Johnny Cash video assembled from crowd-sourced drawings to the "Wilderness Downtown" video that customizes for the user, his works brilliantly explore how modern technology can make us more human.

In asking [100] people, locals and tourists alike, what made them happy, Catherine Young realized that one of the most universal and clearest ways to record their responses was to ask them to draw what made them happy. Drawing is one of the earliest skills we learn; its basic elements are comprehensible to people of all ages, cultures and nations. Catherine reasoned that if people knew that they were happy, they should be able to identify the source and moreover, visually embody this joy.
Here's one the submitted drawings that made me smile:
One hundred six submissions into this project, she has decided to visualize what she has learned so far. Behold, an infographic:

Typefaces of the World is a poster Shelby White created to show the typefaces that are most commonly used in a lot of today's design. The poster includes information for each typefaces such as the year it was made, the location and the typographer. These 50 typefaces were chosen based on popularity and usefulness in present design. It was by mere coincidence that the typefaces were nearly split 50/50 between Europe and the United States. But it does show that the most prominent locations for typographers were in these areas.
What a beauty! I would love to hang one of these in my studio. Shelby says he is toying with the idea of adding a store to his site. Let's hope he does soon! Typefaces of the World! Wishlisted!
