In a Project Euler problem I need to deal with numbers that can have hundreds of digits. And I need to perform some calculation on the first 9 digits.
My question is: what is the fastest possible way to determine the first N digits of a 100-digit integer? Last N digits are easy with modulo/remainder. For the first digits I can apply modulo 100 times to get digit by digit, or I can convert the number to String and truncate, but they all are linear time. Is there a better way?

Seven Breakthrough Strategies for Weight Loss
1) Shun soda, juice cocktails and other sugary drinks. Instead, drink more water. Drinks heavily spiked with sugar or corn sweeteners are responsible for fully 20 percent of Americans' calories. Water, on the other hand, has zero calories and even takes a few to raise it to body temperature. Plus it's important for the body's digestion, excretion and transporting nutrients to the cells.
2) Sleep more. Studies have shown that sleeping seven or eight hours a night leads to optimal health. Those who sleep less (and more!) are more likely to die earlier than those who don't. Also, getting to bed before midnight is ideal. The body's stress hormones are lowest before that time, so every hour of rest before 12 a.m. gives us the greatest physical recovery, and is twice as valuable as the hours after midnight.
3) Eat less fast food and takeout. Avoid refined, processed and fried food. Reach for more fruits and vegetables as ways to fill up. And try to get more fiber by eating more whole-grain cereals for breakfast and whole-grain bread for lunch.
4) Eat slowly and contemplatively. Refuse to be driven, by the popular culture's emphasis on productivity and time consciousness, to wolf your food down. Chewing food deliberately makes it easier for it to be digested.
5) Take a breathing break. This releases stress, which has been shown to lead to weight gain. Morning, afternoon and evening, take 10 deep, conscious breaths. Sit up straight, close your eyes, breathe deeply in through your nose, letting your stomach expand, and then exhale through your mouth.
6) Cook more meals at home. This way, you have more control over what goes into the food you eat.
7) Don't undereat. If you eat too little, the body gets the biochemical signal that it's starving. It responds by storing fat and converting muscle to energy.Disclaimer

you are amazing.. dont change anything about this.. i loved every single minute of it.
the voice is perfect, the style is perfect..
it made me want to watch the next episode NOW!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
I don't mean to sound gay...
....But that was honestly one of the cutest cartoons I've ever seen!
I absolutely dug your animation style, and the voice acting was pretty good, I think.
The music complimented the movie well, and just the fact that you mentioned Western Washington makes me happy.
Anyway, look forward to seeing the next one!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
first of all, thanks for doing something that went through more than a cuple of nights in planing progress.... its pretty obvious that you made a script and for that we thank you...
second, impresive graphics, impresive sound, impressive voice quality...
and third... i will be waiting for the next one mate...
Rated 4 / 5 stars
I'm looking
++++ Really lost myself in that flash. As the story unfolded, I practically stopped paying attention to the technical details and just enjoyed the ride.
+++ Great colours.
+++ Shading is done so well...
+++ And it all just works so well together... bgs, character lines... colouring... makes for a beautiful cohesive whole.
++++ Practically flawless animation on a technical level.
- Though as a criticism, I'd say that at some points you could've used the motion to 'telegraph' the duck's emotions a bit better. When he was attacking the Pikmin, he could've looked a lot angrier. That kinda thing.
- The first step into the fictional world (with the duck first speaking, then us seeing the game characters as real people) seemed slightly jarring. Maybe if the other ducks had uttered a few words on-screen before, it would be less so?
++ The voice for the ending is specially great.
++ The girl in the 'teaser' picture seems full of character.
-- I think the jokes could maybe be packed in a bit thicker. I didn't chuckle at all and it was mainly the beautiful animation and voiceover that kept me interested at the start.
++ I did like a few jokes and references. Gold Zelda cart, the job he didn't get, the ease with which he got his current job...
Seems a great series. I'm looking forward to ep.1.
I hope the next episode has even more jokes and references packed in.
It's a beautiful piece of work.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
this was great. really really good. cant wait till teh next episode comes out!

ATLANTA (AP) - The Georgia Senate has voted to expand
unemployment benefits, allowing the state to qualify for hundreds
of millions of dollars in federal stimulus money.
The bill approved Monday allows some jobless workers to qualify
for additional unemployment benefits if they seek training in
high-demand fields. It also permits part-time workers to collect
benefits even if they seek part-time work. Current law holds that
the jobless must seek full-time work to collect benefits.
The changes will help Georgia collect some $226 million in
stimulus money.
The bill also gives some workers stuck on the unemployment rolls
the ability to collect another 13 weeks of benefits, for a total of
39 weeks. The stimulus dollars will pay the tab of $300 million.

My absolute favorite of her NOTORIOUS series.... stunning!
Mary K, Public Librarian
on June 17, 2004
I've read this book twice in the past three months (yes, reading plenty of other things, too!) , and have begun my third reading of it.....
It takes a LOT to make me want to keep and re-read a book.
But there is a true and beautiful love story, completely believable, which happens to Damien Sinclair and Vanessa Wyndham. It's one of only two romances I've read where I feel the characters are so real and so compelling that I truly care, deeply, what happens to them... their story has moved me, very , very much.
Most romances I enjoy very much, then put them down when I've finished them, and think, 'wow, that was fun, I want to read another one'...
This one is more like : "Oh --- how beautiful -- thank God they found each other. This is perfect! I am so happy for them!" It's not at all the little fun smile you feel at the end of a romance novel. It's a feeling of complete joy.
He is not at all what he appears to be. Vanessa finds this out. And she also finds out, thanks to him, that she's loaded with passion and feelings she never knew she had. And he is so incredibly patient with her -- it's just gorgeous. Even though at times it 's maddening to have to 'wait' for the two of them to finally make love, the delays are completely believable , for both of them. Especially as he's promised her over and over again he will wait until she's ready . And boy , does he EVER make it worth her while that he waited for her (it was driving him crazy, too, but he was a complete gentleman....) It makes their eventual joining 1,000x as sweet and beautiful as your standard romance. WELL worth the wait. Then, the most utterly beautiful scenes, where he's in essence guiding her through her own brand-new feelings... I don't want to give all the book away, here... but he is so GOOD to her, you just fall in love with him. Talk about every woman's fantasy!!
The subplot with his sister Olivia and her brother Aubrey is also extremely well-conceived and carried out. I really grow to love both of them, despite not liking Aubrey much at all at first. But he does completely redeem himself. It's just one more great part of this amazing book.
I can't find any flaws in it. It just feels so very real. Of course I know it's fiction, but wow.... talk about being completely drawn into their world. I'm so thrilled to have this book, and to have had the immense pleasure of discovering it. They REALLY love each other, and are truly perfectly suited. None of them has been perfect in the past, but they grow and change so much in the book...
My deepest thanks to Ms. Jordan for an unforgettable reading experience.
I love the other four NOTORIOUS novels as well: The Passion (wow!); Ecstasy (to *die* for); Desire(yes!!); and The Prince of Pleasure (YOW! Sizzling!)...
I'm looking forward to THE LOVER, next on my list of Jordan books to read, and have already devoured 'Master of Temptation', another winner. I'll be a fan for life!

Where was the seduction?
J. Mullally
on May 19, 2003
The hero is a total twit. He tells her she has to sleep with him in order to make up for her brother ruining his sister's life with a thwarted elopement. As if ruining one woman is going to make up for it?
He treats her like a tart, and then wonders why everyone else does as well? He next agrees to tutor her in how to please a man so when he inevitably dumps her she will be able to get a higher price on the open market, when all he has to do is stop the vendetta against her brother so they can keep their home and fortune. He is a disgusting human being who leaves her open to scandal, ruin, VD, and rape at an orgy set up by his friends.
The heroine says it all when he attempts feebly to propose to her to try to keep her for his own selfish reasons. He is the kind of man she couldn't love. He doesn't know how to love. He is a rake and a user with no redeeming features except, as he says himself, an ability to make money, which he then throws at every problem.
In the last 20 or so pages of the book he then 'reforms' and gives her lavish gifts for her services rendered which any woman with an ounce of self-respect would refuse. The brothel scene is really the last straw. She is just an object to swive, not even with his own natural endowments most of the time, if you take my meaning. There was no love, tenderness or commitment in this book, and the saccharine sweet romance between the sister and brother is the only high point of this otherwise awful novel.
I would give it negative stars if I could. Spicy is one thing, but there is no romance. And the writing style is so poor that the word 'erotic' appeared on virtually every single page of every single sex scene. Of which there were way too many. Please can we have some characters that speak and develop and grow, not pieces of anatomy that go up and down, in and out, round and round etc.

I must be getting old. This steamy love story bores me.
Mrs Giggles
on May 26, 2000
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I'm somewhat reluctant to admit that I'm bored flat by the whole coochie of love scenes. The start of the book has a gratuitous scene of bondage-........ involving Damien and an actress, and that sets the tone of The Seduction - a no-holds barred hot, hot read. I must be getting older than I thought, because I was bored enough to start glossing over the many scenes. When I peel away all those heavy breathings and moanings and groanings, what's left is a very substandard exercise in cliché.
What makes Damien a hero? He's a rake, and he uses women like toys. But since he also loves gardening, he knows his classics - aww, how sweet - and he takes time to make sure the actresses and mistresses "find pleasure" in his sessions, I guess that makes him a cut above the other womanizers prowling around. Oh, and he is also a big man, reaching past his navel, or so I'm told so many times. I guess size is also a virtue.
Her late husband was an adulterer, popular among mistresses, widows, and actresses. But somehow he was brutal to Vanessa in bed, never once giving her a climax. You'd think a man so successfully promiscuous when he was alive would know how to bring a woman her pleasures, but somehow, no. Go figure out yourself how this man got so many extra-marital affairs if he was so lousy in bed.
Me, I think it all boils down to two words: plot cliché.
Maybe it's because I'm tired of the whole Good Girl/Bad Girl complex. Am I supposed to believe that Vanessa is okay to be loved because she's not like those actresses or prostitutes that Damien favors? Am I supposed to root for Damien because he knows his Shakespeare and he has read suffragette tracts?
The author fails to convince me that Vanessa is more than just a novelty, not when she makes Vanessa yet another standard Proper Heroine Giving Herself To A Rake To Save The Family.
That's the one fatal flaw about this long-delayed Nicole Jordan romance. I'm afraid this time my glasses don't fog up, but my eyes have a hard time keeping focused on the pages. Sometimes sex isn't enough, I'm afraid. Not for me anyway.

It was OK
on October 16, 2001
Format: Mass Market Paperback
For a Regency rommance it was OK. I could not connect with the two main characters. I did not buy the guy really caring about the girl (see I can't even remember thier names).They just didn't seem real. And the ending was so unbelieveable I rolled my eyes and couldn't believe I had actually wasted my time on this book.
The redeaming qualites were the spicey love scenes. And that's about it.
If you want to read a Regency Rommance that does have some spice and believeable and loveable bad boys turned good read the Cynster books of Stephanie Laurens. Those are some boys who know how to show a woman they love them and really know how to surrender.

Enjoyable, but bland
on May 30, 2000
Format: Mass Market Paperback
While I liked this book when I was reading it, I cannot give it high marks. I have seen too many romance novels where a daughter/sister becomes a rake's wife/mistress, because of her family gaming debts. I found the changes in both Aubrey and Sin rather hard to believe, and the heroine's heart was really too soft. (I probably would have asked Sin why didn't he kill my brother in the first place and instisted he rectified the mistake.) The author strikes me as an excellent storyteller. She just needs an original story.

Format: Mass Market Paperback
This was my first from nicole Jordan, and I think it will also be my last. The story il full of clicheés, the characters are stereotypes who never connect, and the love scenes...well, they just left me cold. They were somehow forced, because the emotional relationship between the two characters is missing, to the point that you do not understand how they can fall in love. Also, the writing style is shabby, apart from the first couple of chapters. Not my thing.

Commentary: Look for God with the eyes of humility
Published: Friday, February 22, 2013 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 20, 2013 at 7:41 p.m.
At long last, some fearmongers were seemingly proven right. As Chicken Little put it, "The sky is falling!"
Or so thought the residents of Cheylabinsk, in the Ural mountains of Russia. A bus-size meteor exploded above the city, creating shock waves that rattled buildings, broke windows and doors and shattered everyone's nerves.
Films like "Deep Impact" have long anticipated doomsday. Science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke anticipated PBS specials with his short story "The Hammer of God."
This incident brings up issues. Mostly, the question of random destructive events raises problems of theodicy, or how to justify a good God in the face of innocent destruction. Second, it makes us wonder about the capacity of human beings to look for divine portents and signs everywhere.
From imagining appearances of ancient worthies and divine beings in anything from cheese doodles to tree bark, Homo sapiens seek confirmation of their most cherished beliefs. In the midst of hurricanes, earthquakes and random violence, it is comforting to consider how God takes time out to configure sacred images from our icebox leftovers.
Western tradition strongly encourages these ideas. The book of Deuteronomy imagined God to be involved in our history. The concept has greatly influenced contemporary American religions, often in the extreme. Religious leaders look to confirm their politics and beliefs by seeing God's hand in natural disasters, tracing them irrationally to the evil actions of disbelievers.
Fortunately, many other faiths do not reach such conclusions.
The Jewish holiday of Purim, based on the story of Esther in the Bible, addresses the evil plans of a court administrator named Haman. With satire, the story shows how the Jewish world can be turned upside down.
Over the centuries, the sky has fallen on my people, innocent and deserving no punishment. We are in good company with people of every faith and in every age.
To secure a propitious date, Haman tossed Purim, or lots, imagining he would then find a suitable date to ordain the destruction of Jews. Of course, the plan backfired, I am glad to say.
As such, I'll be able to celebrate Purim this weekend with a reading of the scroll of Esther that pokes fun in part at life's uncertainties. Purim is a Jewish Mardi Gras, with costumes and frivolous drinking.
The story of Esther doesn't mention God explicitly. But commentators have found four words whose first letters spell out one holy, divine Hebrew name. They concluded that God was hidden behind the scenes, waiting for human beings to act with holiness.
It is good to search for God, but let us do so with a good dose of humility. Let's make sure all of our pronouncements are modest and not inebriating.

SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass. — Kaz on Thursday announced the launch of the Braun Forehead Thermometer, which features a lightweight, ergonomic design, providing a step-by-step on-product usage guide and user-facing digital temperature readouts on a large, backlit screen.
In addition, the thermometer's fever guidance system indicates the severity of each reading with a green, yellow or red light, helping parents easily decipher and monitor the status of their child's temperature.
The Braun Forehead Thermometer is designed to measure the temperature of the skin above the temporal artery, a major artery of the head that offers constant blood flow to the heart.
The Braun Forehead Thermometer's built-in infrared technology takes multiple readings during each forehead swipe, processing the readings using a unique algorithm for an accurate measurement. The thermometer automatically converts the final reading to the oral temperature equivalent.
The Braun Forehead Thermometer has a suggested retail price of $49.99 and is backed by a three-year limited warranty.

Anatomy of ATF Type
What is a Type Foundry? A company that makes type.
One of the foremost in the US was American Type Foundries (ATF), founded in 1892 when 23 independent type foundries consolidated. These foundries were brought together for several reasons, one being that the Linotype, which produced a line of type, was introduced a few years earlier and was cutting into the sales of hand set type. Another was that the type produced by the various foundries was not systematic — point sizes and baselines varied between companies.
ATF standardized type. Nineteen-twenty-nine was the company's most profitable year. From there it only declined and its number of typeface offerings did as well. In the early 1950s phototype was on its way of taking over as the predominant typesetting method, cutting into foundry type's profits even more. In 1958 ATF introduced a phototypesetting machine along with variety of faces on phototypesetting discs.
The ATF phototypsetters had limited success, mostly in newspapers.
By the early 1980s the photo typesetting line was dropped and the foundry assets were sold to Kingsley Machines in 1986.
Today ATF typeface designs are licensed by and sold through Adobe and Bitstream (owned by Monotype) as digital fonts.
Originally a font of hot metal, or relief, type consisted of a varying quantity (depending upon the manufacturer, face and size) of individual pieces of type in a specific face, at a specific size. For example, Times Roman 12 point was one font, while Times Roman 14 point was a different font. The face was the same but the size difference made it a different "font."
Phototypesetting manufacturers sold "font discs," which were typically plastic discs, strips or rectangles of high contrast (sometimes adhered to plastic or glass) which contained the negative images of the characters. One disc would produce type from about 6 to 18 points. Other discs or systems were often used for larger (sometimes called display) type.
There were two main reasons for this: first, the negative characters were only about 6 points high on a typical font disc and the machines could only enlarge them to about 18 points. Secondly, as type is re-sized it needs to be re-scaled or re-proportioned to look correct. Resizing from 6 to 18 points is not a major visual problem but above that it does not look correct so you need a new master made for the larger sizes. (Conversely, taking a type face meant for a display size and sizing it down to a book size looks equally odd.)
Electronic (digital) fonts can take the scaling into account automatically, although some fonts meant to be used at large sizes ae sold separately.
Today the terms font and face are often used interchangeably. And old-timers will sometimes refer to these digital type manufacturers as "foundries."
What did a single ATF character look like? It had heft, it had weight, it had substance. It was three-dimensional. See the accompanying "The Anatomy of ATF Type" from an ATF sales piece published by one of their type dealers. It is available here for viewing and downloading as a 300 dpi PDF file to faithfully recreate the original (9.9MB).

It's been an exciting year in type; one that saw many technical innovations, company mergers and restructuring, as well as some delightful new font releases which we will surely encounter in printed matter around the world soon.
But let's start with the biggest loss for our industry in 1915: Georges Peignot, type founder in Paris and one of our greatest type designers — of Grasset, Auriol, or Cochin to name a few — died in battle, only 43 years old. Curious to see how long the foundry will be able to remain independent without its head :/ Another substantial loss was the death of Wilhelm Woellmer's CEO Siegmund Borchardt. His son Fritz (34) suceeded him at the Berlin foundry.
The Museum of Printing is moving
After 13 years at its current location in North Andover the museum is moving to a building along Route 495 — 15 Thornton Avenue, Haverhill, Mass., to be exact [map]. It will open in early 2016.
The new building better suits the museum's evolving mission of education, display and exhibition of graphics arts related materials and equipment. It is on a single floor, is fully handicapped accessible and offers dedicated areas for workshops and lectures. It will also be able to expand its role of hosting educational tours of all levels.
"The relocated museum will house a world-class printing and graphics art museum," said museum President Frank Romano. "There will be more dedicated space for exhibits, events and workshops, two stores — one retail store and a second specifically for letterpress and related equipment." It will also offer more hands-on exhibits.
An unusual feature of the museum will be that it houses two libraries: one for general browsing of graphic arts books, technical and operating manuals and other literature as well as type specimen books and specialty publications. The second will be the Romano Graphics Arts Library for scholars and researchers, with many rare books and graphic art ephemera. Part of the museum's collections includes the many original type drawings used to create Linotype and Mergenthaler fonts for letterpress use.
Expanded exhibit space will make the Museum of Printing the largest printing and graphics art museum in the United States and the only one of any size east of the Mississippi River.
The museum will remain open at its current location at 800 Massachusetts Ave. in North Andover, Massachusetts throughout the summer and fall. The new facility will open in Spring 2016. Currently on exhibit is the Lance Hidy retrospective, the wood cuts of Anna Hogan and Mark Fowler prints.
Remembering Hermann Zapf (November 8, 1918 – June 4, 2015)
Frank Romano
Hermann Zapf was the preeminent worldwide typeface designer and calligrapher who lived in Darmstadt, Germany. He was married to calligrapher and typeface designer Gudrun Zapf von Hesse. His typefaces include Palatino and Optima.
I first met him in 1960. I was the mail boy at the Mergenthaler Linotype Company in Brooklyn, NY and was delivering the mail to his cubicle on the 8th floor. He was adapting Palatino for the Linofilm. One day I got up the nerve to ask "Mr Zapf, what do you do?" He replied, "I correct the errors of my youth." For example, the lowercase y had a curved calligraphic descender. He straightened it out. Those who stole Palatino from the hot metal version had something different from those who stole it from the phototypesetting version.
Thirty years later I would hold his professorship at RIT. He was a warm, genuine, honest man and we will all miss him.
Zapf was born in Nuremberg. He left school in 1933 for a career in electrical engineering but was not able to attend the Ohm Technical Institute in Nuremberg due to the political regime of the time and needed to find an apprenticeship. His teachers noticed his skill in drawing and suggested that he become a lithographer. He was interviewed by the last company in the telephone directory. They allowed him to become a retoucher, and Zapf began his four-year apprenticeship in February 1934.
In 1935, he attended an exhibition in Nuremberg in honor of typographer Rudolf Koch. This exhibition gave him his first interest in lettering. Zapf bought two books to teach himself calligraphy. He came into contact with the type foundries D. Stempel, AG, and Linotype GmbH of Frankfurt, and in 1938, designed his first printed typeface for them, a fraktur type called Gilgengart.
In April, 1939, Zapf was conscripted. He had developed heart trouble and was given a desk job, writing camp records and sports certificates in Fraktur. He was sent to train as a cartographer where he drew maps of Spain. His eyesight was so good that he could write letters 1 millimeter in size without using a magnifying glass, and this skill probably prevented him from being commissioned back into the army.
Zapf taught calligraphy in Nuremberg in 1946. He returned to Frankfurt in 1947, where the type foundry Stempel offered him a position as artistic head of their printshop.
From 1948 to 1950, Zapf taught calligraphy at the Arts and Crafts School in Offenbach, giving lettering lessons twice a week to two classes of graphics students. In 1951 he married Gudrun von Hesse, who taught at the school of Städel in Frankfurt. Most of Zapf's work as a graphic artist was in book design.
Type design
Zapf transcended type technology. He designed types for hot metal composition, phototypesetting, and digital typography for use in desktop publishing. His most famous typefaces, Palatino and Optima, were designed in 1948 and 1952, respectively. Palatino was named after the 16th century Italian writing master Giambattista Palatino. Palatino became better known after it became one of the core 35 PostScript fonts in 1984, bundled with virtually all PostScript devices from laser printers to imagesetters. Optima, a flared sans-serif, was released by Stempel in 1958. Zapf disliked its name, which was invented by the marketers at Stempel.
Zapf's typefaces have been widely copied, usually against his will. Monotype's Book Antiqua shipped with Microsoft Office and is often considered an imitation of Palatino. In 1993, Zapf resigned from ATypI (Association Typographique Internationale) over what he viewed as its hypocritical attitude toward unauthorized copying by prominent ATypI members. At a 1994 conference a panel discussion on designers' rights he criticized the plagiarism of Palatino. In 1999, Microsoft worked with Zapf and Linotype to develop a new, authorized version of Palatino for Microsoft, called Palatino Linotype.
In the 1980s Zapf worked with Bitstream to make versions of many of his prior typefaces, including Palatino, Optima and Melior, all with "Zapf" in their new names.
Zapf did not work extensively as a calligrapher. His largest calligraphic project was to write out the "Preamble to the United Nations Charter" in four languages, commissioned by the Pierpont Morgan Library in 1960.
Computer typography
Zapf worked on typography for computer programs from the 1960s onwards. His ideas were considered radical, not taken seriously in Germany, and rejected by the Darmstadt University of Technology, where Zapf lectured between 1972 and 1981. With no success in Germany, Zapf went to the US where he lectured about his ideas in computerized typesetting, and was invited to speak at Harvard University in 1964. The University of Texas at Austin was also interested in Zapf, and offered him a professorship, which he did not take.
Zapf and his wife moved to Darmstadt in 1972. In 1976, the Rochester Institute of Technology offered Zapf the Cary professorship. He taught there from 1977 to 1987, flying between Darmstadt and Rochester. At RIT, he developed his ideas further, with the help of his connections in companies such as IBM and Xerox. A number of Zapf's students from this time at RIT went on to become influential type designers, including Kris Holmes and Charles Bigelow, who together created the Lucida type family. Other prominent students include calligrapher/font designer Julian Waters and book designer Jerry Kelly.
In 1977, Zapf, Aaron Burns, and Herb Lubalin founded Design Processing International, Inc. and developed typographical computer software. It existed until 1986 with the death of Lubalin, and Zapf and Burns founded "Zapf, Burns & Company" in 1987. Burns, also an expert in typeface design and in typography, was in charge of marketing until his death in 1992.
In 1983, Zapf had completed the typeface AMS Euler with Donald Knuth and graduate students in Knuth's and Charles Bigelow's Digital Typography program at Stanford University including students Dan Mills, Carol Twombly, David Siegel, and Knuth's computer science research assistant, John Hobby, for the American Mathematical Society. Euler digital font production was eventually finished by Siegel as his M.S. thesis project. Euler is a typeface family for mathematical composition including Latin, Fraktur and Greek letters. After David Siegel had finished his studies at Stanford and was interested in entering the field of typography, he told Zapf his idea of making a typeface with a large number of glyph variations.
Zapf remembered a page of calligraphy from his sketchbook from 1944, and considered the possibility of making a typeface from it. He had previously tried to create a calligraphic typeface for Stempel in 1948, but hot metal composition placed too many limits on the freedom of swash characters. Such a pleasing result could only be achieved using modern digital technology, and so Zapf and Siegel began work on the complicated software necessary. However, Siegel abandoned the project.
What would become Zapfino was delayed until Zapf presented the project to Linotype. They were prepared to complete it and reorganized the project. Zapf created four alphabets and various ornaments, flourishes, and other dingbats. Zapfino was released in 1998. Later versions of Zapfino used the Apple Advanced Typography and OpenType technologies to make automatic ligatures and glyph substitutions, especially contextual ones in which the nature of ligatures and substituted glyphs was determined by other glyphs nearby or even in different words.
There are many distinguished type designers in the world. Matthew Carter certainly comes to mind. But, it can be said without challenge, that there was only one Hermann Zapf. Fortunatey, his typefaces live on.
What is it? Answered.
It's the type head for a Reynolds Print-A-Sign machine, according to, and a hearty Thank You to, Ed Newman of Paramus, NJ. He ran one for Morsan's Sporting Goods in the late 60's to the mid 70's. A friend of his ran a similar machine for another sporting goods store about the same time.
The machine consisted of a large steel table, like a drafting table, but heavy steel. On the table, there was an area to clip the cardboard sign material. Then, the type head rolled over the blank sign material. There were rollers on the front of the type head that inked the type. A plunger, on the table, was pulled down, by the operator. After returning the plunger, it moved the blank sign material along on the table, in the proper increment. There was a lever on the bottom of the table, to move the sign material up or down.
To make a sign, the operator clipped in the sign, aligned the material, rolled the type head over and "stamped" the sign out. The letter spacing was automatic, determined by the plunger.

Pre-press materials wanted
Our curators are planning several exhibits on prepress operations from the 50s to the 90s, including an artist's work station, platemaking department and proofing. We find we are embarrassingly low or completely missing film negatives, film halftones – both B&W and color — proofs, paste-ups, rubyliths, contact screens, registration punches, etc. If you can part with a few, please contact our executive director at email@example.com.
We want to show how it was done before computers!

They came to the Fair
Frank Romano
The 7th Annual Printing Arts Fair took place at the Museum of Printing on a sunny Father's Day in 2010, punctuated by a very short rain shower. Many families were counted among the 400-plus attendees, who saw demonstrations of papermaking, stone lithography, intaglio printing, Ludlow and Linotype linecasting, and other book arts.
Over 30 exhibitors offered note books, cards, rare books, antique equipment, ephemera, and other articles. Children could print wood type and pictorial cuts as well as Father's Day cards.
The centerpiece of the event was our steamroller printing (for the second year in a row). Sally Abugov and her band of 28 linoleum block carvers created a wonderful set of alphabetic designs with floral/fauna themes. The individual blocks were printed in different colors and sold at the Fair.
A great time was had by all.

What is it?
Frankly, we're stumped.
This device is about 12×14 inches with a handle on one side for moving it, rollers on the impression side for what appears to be positioning it on a track. The relief letters appear to be for pressing against some substrate to transfer the characters or punching into a softer material. The flip side is engraved with the alphabet with various sizes from 30 and 48 to 60 points, and numbers in the upper row at 120 points. And lower row at 30 points. Each character is next to a recessed shaft that looks like a plunger would press against it to make the impression. It weighs over 20 pounds.
If you have any idea what this is, let us know at email@example.com. It has been a puzzlement around here — and our members are pretty darn good a identifying the arcane and bizarre.

Type families and visual systems
Cliff Garber
Type lovers! There's an excellent article on type families & systems on the FontShop website: "From compressed light to extended ultra: Visual systems in type designs" by Ferdinand Ulrich. Check it out.
History of the Linotype Company by Frank Romano released
No single machine impacted the setting of type as did the Linotype. At the time of the Civil War, typesetting was the second most common occupation in America, surpassed only by farming. Both were done primarily by hand. The Linotype machine mechanized typesetting. Outside of Gutenberg's invention of movable type no other single machine has had the impact on printing as has the Linotype.
The definitive history of the machine, the people and the technology can be found in the 463 page History of the Linotype Company, released by Museum of Printing's President Frank Romano. The book is available through the museum.
Copies are available at the museum on Saturdays from 10 am to 4 pm. If Frank is there, he will be happy to autograph your copy.
The price is $65 for members, $75 for non-members, plus tax. If you can not make it to the museum, send a check for $93 (including tax and shipping) to the Museum at PO Box 5580, Beverly, MA 01915.
The History of the Linotype Company is 11 × 8½ inches in small coffee table orientation. It includes hundreds of photographs sourced from around the world, including ads, product brochures, maintenance manuals, Linotype's periodicals and special publications and more, including many personal accounts, correspondence and memories of the company and typesetting. One of the 18 chapters is devoted solely to the business of typesetting over the last 140 years.
The Linotype machine was king for nearly seventy years, dethroned only by the "new" technology of phototypesetting. The Linotype Company was a strong leader in the creation and marketing of phototypesetting units and systems until that technology was replaced by personal computers, page make-up software and direct to plate and direct to press technologies.
A follow-up book, The History of Phototypesetting, by Romano was also published in 2014.

Dirty Shirts reorganize museum
"A dozen volunteers did more in a few hours than I could have done in a week," said Ted Leigh about Saturday's Dirty Shirt Day.
The Dirty Shirts completely reorganized the Print Gallery's east wall, moving presses, re-arranging two proof presses, composting stones type and cut cabinets among other things creating expanded demonstration and workshop areas. Museum staff is putting together the workshop schedule for the spring and summer to take advantage of the revitalized space.
The volunteers also managed to stage and move other equipment in preparation for modifying other exhibit areas.
"It was good work," one volunteer said, "but a lot of fun too. I got to talk with other printers and learned a lot about other shops." The volunteers came from as far away as eastern New York, northern Vermont and western New Hampshire.
William Bonser
William Bonser died recently. He was co-founder of the Museum of Printing, retired teacher of printing at Groton School, and former executive for the Lowell Chamber of Commerce. He has held the title Director Emeritus of the Friends of the Museum of Printing. Bruce McIntosh informed us. His friend Kate Wilcox posted on Facebook.

Politics Local Control
posted by December 28 at 11:30 AMon
City Council Member Jan Drago, chair of the council's transportation committee, sent out a letter on the viaduct today. She dismisses the Governor's call for a public vote between the elevated rebuild and the tunnel and reiterates her support for the tunnel.
Last September, the City Council vetoed the elevated rebuild option by voting 7-1 in favor of the tunnelwith the boulevard/transit option as the city's back-up plan.
Here's Drago's letter.
December 28, 2006
Dear Friend,
I want to thank you for contacting my office regarding the Alaskan Way Viaduct and Seawall Project. We have received hundreds of e-mails, letters and phone calls representing every point of view on this issue and stirring incredible debates. I truly appreciate everyone who took the time to contact me. I would like to quickly review the progress of the project and update you on where things currently stand.
There is no disagreement that the viaduct needs to be replaced. The question is how and with what option. Since 2001, the City has been working with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to determine what alternative should be selected to replace the aging and deteriorating viaduct. After many briefings, meetings, and long discussions, the Council voted in January of 2005 to select a tunnel alternative as the preferred alternative.
During the 2006 Legislative Session, the Legislature did two things regarding the Viaduct project:
it directed the governor to convene an expert review panel to look at the feasibility of the financing and implementation plans, and it delegated authority to the City legislative body (City Council) either to adopt by ordinance a preferred alternative for the Alaskan Way Viaduct or to place the selection on an advisory ballot to the voters of the City of Seattle.
On September 1, 2006 the Expert Review Panel (ERP) released its report which stated that the finances were sound and reasonable for the cut-and-cover tunnel. The ERP accepted the project's funding assumptions as reasonable and stated there were no fatal flaws in the cost estimate. Following the release of ERP's report the Council voted to select a tunnel as the preferred alternative. We also noted that if it is determined that a tunnel is not feasible, then we would begin to look at a surface + transit option. This decision was forwarded on to the Governor for her review and final decision.
On Friday December 15, the Governor released findings on both the Alaskan Way Viaduct and SR 520 projects. She stated in opposition to her Expert Review Panel that the finance plan for a Tunnel Alternative was not feasible and sufficient. The Governor stated her preference for a "cut and coverâ tunnel as she shares the belief that there is a value to the community and environment. She also believes that an elevated structure has problems of its own.
Instead of making a final decision the Governor is sending the issue back to the citizens of Seattle asking them to select an alternative through an advisory ballot measure. The Governor would like this vote to occur in the spring of 2007.
I was surprised and disappointed by the Governor's decision. It is one thing if the advisory vote is clear and decisive, however a close vote on a complicated issue may create more problems than it solves. Advisory ballot votes on the monorail project did not determine its fate. The project was canceled after four votes endorsing it. In addition, holding a special election by spring as requested by the Governor will cost Seattle taxpayers roughly $1 million.
My position has not changed. I believe that we have the ability to move forward with a tunnel plan at this time. We have heard from the Expert Review Panel that the financing plan is feasible and that delay is not our friend. We need to move forward with a tunnel alternative.
The Council is preparing to move forward. A decision to hold a special election in March must be made no later than January 19, 2007.
I appreciate your active interest in this project and look forward to hearing your thoughts as we proceed.
Jan Drago, Chair
Transportation Committee
Seattle City Council
Footnote: It's true that at her December 15 press conference, Gov. Gregoire expressed her preference for the cut and cover tunnel. Although she endorsed the tunnel with a hefty caveat: "This would be an easy decision for me if cost was not a factor…" She goes on to say the tunnel option is consistent with the city's goals, but then adds: "But cost is a factor I have to consider…The finance plan for the tunnel as described in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement is not feasible and sufficient to complete the project." In the same statement, Gregoire described the elevated rebuild option as "feasible and sufficient." Gregoire took the surface option and the retrofit off the table.
So, Gregoire wants a vote between two options: An imaginary one and the elevated rebuild.
Given that a vote between an imaginary option and a feasible option seems like a rigged vote, I think Drago's acid letter is a laudable response to Gregoire… as in: "Yeah, thanks Chris, we'll take that into consideration."

hi friends, my question is simple - I hope the possible answer too: I just installed a new wp for an event coming up in spring near my home town dresden. http://www.landeserntedank.sfiv.net.
Therefore I need a static page in wp, that shows all steady items like date, time, location an so on.
I made a new page. ok. now I want to appear this static page on the surface in the sidebar.
Does it work
1. either automatically by klicking a special installation button in the backend
2. or by linking it to the linklist to the front end?
Thanks for all hints and comments
Helmer from Dresden/Germany

Like a good movie released between the peak summer season and winter holidays, this year's WNBA draft class might slip through the cracks for many fans. It's the draft subsequent to Diana Taurasi's arrival and preceding a class in 2006 that includes Seimone Augustus, Monique Currie, Cappie Pondexter and Sophia Young.
But like that movie director freed from the constraints of summer special effects and holiday schmaltz, this class could offer a compelling and lengthy story. Uncertainty remains about who will go No. 1 to Charlotte in Saturday's draft (ESPN2, noon ET), but it's a class that could go 15 to 20 players deep in terms of eventual WNBA contributors.
Here's a look at the top 10 prospects, and one potential first-round darkhorse:
Janel McCarville, Minnesota, 6-2, C, Stevens Point, Wis.
The safest pick in this year's class, McCarville will give up a couple of inches to some WNBA centers, but she's not going to be pushed around in the post. A tremendous passer out of the low and high posts, she continues to improve as a low-post scorer and has the range to hit consistently from anywhere inside the arc. Others might have more athletic upside, but she has the all-around skills to be a regular all-star. Early attitude questions at Minnesota are a thing of the past; she's a fiery leader with the same engagingly frank personality as Diana Taurasi.
Sandora Irvin, TCU, 6-3, F, Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
All you hear about are the blocks, and they're certainly impressive Irvin was three-time Conference USA defensive player of the year for a reason. But she's far more than a one-dimensional shot blocker. She has terrific range (24 3-pointers on 38.1 percent shooting as a senior) but steps away from her post responsibilities only when necessary. She's not a floater who tries to play like a guard.
Tan White, Mississippi State, 5-7, G, Tupelo, Miss.
White's upside is she's a women's version of Allen Iverson (on the court). And it speaks to the allure of that upside that teams at the top of the first round are apparently willing to overlook her diminutive size. Then again, she certainly played bigger than 5-foot-7 in averaging seven rebounds per game during her career at Mississippi State, while never averaging less than 18 points per game in a season. Not a point guard (more turnovers than assists this season), but could move over to spell a point guard for a few minutes each game.
Kendra Wecker, Kansas State, 5-11, F, Marysville, Kan.
Might have to play more on the wing than she did in dominating the Big 12, but that could actually work to her advantage. Wecker has excellent range (39.8 percent from behind the arc for her career, including 42.2 percent the last two seasons) and the quickness to stay with WNBA wings. And given her post experience and near-freakish strength, she'll be able to exploit weaker defenders down low. With a couple more inches, she'd be the top pick. As it is, she's still a complete package.
Sancho Lyttle, Houston, 6-4, F/C, St. Vincent, British West Indies
The X-factor of the first round, Lyttle is far from a finished product after a late introduction to organized basketball and just two seasons at the University of Houston. But at 6-4 with good quickness and little awkwardness, she has more than enough polish to be off the board by the middle of the first round. And after averaging 17.6 ppg against the same Conference USA competition as Sandora Irvin, she's not getting by purely on measurables.
Dionnah Jackson, Oklahoma, 5-9, G, St. Louis, Mo.
Like White, slightly undersized for a league increasingly building around big backcourts (see: Diana Taurasi). Nowhere near the kind of pure scorer that White is, but Jackson is both slightly bigger and better prepared to handle point-guard responsibilities, at least in a reserve role initially. Averaged a career-best 5.8 assists per game as a senior at Oklahoma, while cutting her turnovers sharply. All you need to know about her toughness is that at 5-9, she averaged 8.5 rebounds per game last season.
Kara Braxton, Georgia, 6-6, C, Westview, Ore.
Reportedly had a good performance at the WNBA pre-draft camp last weekend, which should ease concerns among GMs after her time away from the game (she last played at Georgia during the 2003-04 season). The 2002 SEC Freshman of the Year never quite lived up to that initial showing in parts of two subsequent turbulent seasons playing for the Lady Bulldogs (due to suspensions, Braxton didn't play more than 21 games in either of her last two seasons in Athens, Ga.). But you can't ignore a 6-6 post with good hands and agility who put up 16 points and seven boards in her first taste of SEC competition. Would be a perfect fit in Connecticut's up-tempo attack, learning from fellow mom Taj McWilliams-Franklin, but Braxton might not last until the No. 8 pick.
Tanisha Wright, Penn State, 5-11, G, West Mifflin, Pa.
Probably the least talked about lock for the first round, just as she was the least talked about star in the Big Ten. Wright earned first-team all-conference honors by doing the little things in Kelly Mazzante's shadow as a junior and then repeated that honor as Penn State's focal point as a senior. The only knocks on Wright are that she lacks 3-point range and her field-goal percentage slipped dramatically when she took over for Mazzante as the primary offensive option. But even if her offense still needs polish, Wright is a perfect all-around threat for a playoff contender looking to add role players in the second half of the first round.
Jacqueline Batteast, Notre Dame, 6-2, F, South Bend, Ind.
Struggled at times to live up to the hype she generated for herself with an outstanding freshman season, but the totality of her résumé, not to mention her ideal size and quickness, are imposing. Batteast simply looks like a basketball player, with her deceptively long reach fueling both steals and blocks in a defensive game that could blossom under the right coach. The biggest question for Batteast, aside from her measurables, is what will her role be in the WNBA? She has 3-point range but shot better than 41 percent from the field in just one college season. And despite good height and leaping ability, she was not a dominant force on the boards as a senior.
Katie Feenstra, Liberty, 6-8, C, Grand Rapids, Mich.
Burst onto the national scene during Liberty's run to the Sweet 16 in this year's NCAA Tournament, but she actually posted better numbers as a junior for the Lady Flames, earning honorable mention AP All-American status in 2004. The positives are obvious she might enter the WNBA with the best hands and shooting touch of any player 6-6 or taller. She was a dominant shot blocker in the Big South, but her NCAA performance suggests her best defensive trait against more athletic competition will be simply using her size to disrupt offensive rhythm. She's not a project in the same sense as past giants such as Lindsay Taylor, or even Margo Dydek, but might not have the conditioning to be an instant starter.
First-round darkhorse:
Kristin Haynie, Michigan State, 5-8, G, Mason, Mich.
Haynie might have solidified a place in the first round with her play in leading Michigan State to a second-place finish in the NCAA Tournament. She was just the fourth leading scorer on the Spartans this season but showed an ability to get to the basket and finish, as well as hit from outside, in the crucible of tourney play. All of which suggests she's the ultimate point guard, in the mold of Jason Kidd, willing to defer to teammates unless absolutely necessary. In addition to 5.4 assists per game, Haynie also averaged 6.6 rebounds and 3.3 steals. A lot of WNBA point guards have made their mark without scoring a lot of points (Debbie Black, Teresa Weatherspoon), but Haynie will not be an offensive liability.

We're finally here. It's the final day of 2013, and the Atlantic Coast Conference is just a bit over halfway through with their bowl slate. The conference is 3-3 over its first six bowl games, and a number of intriguing games still await us.
Three of the four remaining non-national title games feature matchups between teams who have never before played each other. The fourth game is a rematch of one of the msot storied games in recent college football history. Finally, of course, the conference will play for a national title on January 6th. That game will be covered in a future version of Clear Your Schedule.
We'll visit Shreveport, El Paso, Atlanta and Miami in our Keyword Search feature, but before we start our trip, here's our trivia question!
2013 ACC Bowls (Part 1) Trivia (answer at the end of the article): The only time Ohio State and Clemson have ever met on the football field was the final game of Buckeye coach Woody Hayes' career. Which bowl game featured this matchup, and why did it end Hayes' career?
AdvoCare V100 Bowl
Boston College (7-5, 4-4 ACC) vs. Arizona (7-5, 4-5 Pac-12)
Tuesday, Dec. 31, 12:30pm ET, ESPN
Hyundai Sun Bowl
Virginia Tech (8-4, 5-3 ACC) vs. #17 UCLA (9-3, 6-3 Pac-12)
Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2pm ET, CBS
Chick-fil-A Bowl
#24 Duke (10-3, 6-2 ACC) vs. #21 Texas A&M (8-4, 4-4 SEC)
Tuesday, Dec. 31, 8pm ET, ESPN
Discover Orange Bowl
#12 Clemson (10-2, 7-1 ACC) vs. #7 Ohio State (12-1, 8-0 Big Ten)
Friday, Jan. 3, 8pm ET, ESPN
Since the BCS is ending, here's a bonus note!
Trivia answer: I asked earlier: The only time Ohio State and Clemson have ever met on the football field was the final game of Buckeye coach Woody Hayes' career. Which bowl game featured this matchup, and why did it end Hayes' career?
The 1978 Gator Bowl ended in a 17-15 Clemson victory. Hayes punched Clemson defensive lineman Charlie Bauman on the Ohio State sideline after he intercepted an Art Schlichter pass. That incident, and the fight that ensued, resulted in Hayes' firing at Ohio State. This was the final game he coached.

While all of these games will be won or lost in the trenches,the Clemson Ohio St game .will have the air full of flying footballs.I see this game as a slugfest with a high score,while the other games will be ball control and defense being the difference makers.At any rate,there are some potentially good games on tap,and you did a magnificent job of detailing what to expect.
ACC looks pretty bad so far this bowl season. The 2 Big East schools and UNC came to play but Va Tech, Maryland, Miami and BC were dumpster fires. Good thing Louisville is joining up next year. Miss State destroys the C-USA Champ while the Terps get whipped by the runner up. Maybe Duke will do something.
go tigers!!
Tigers are kittens!!
A big meow to you Tony…….

I love this plugin and have used it once before with no issues.
This time I have used it the calendar is showing all the months down one side of the page rather than several months going across the page. Do you know why this in?
Please see http://designwebs.co.uk/coachmans/?page_id=18
Also when I look at the availability/style.css within wordpress is shows as
"Editing availability/style.css (inactive)" could the "inactive" bit be anything to do with the issue?
Many thanks.
