Offensive line play is one of the more intricate elements of football, and until Pro Football Focus came onto the scene, an aspect of the sport completely untouched by quantitative analysis. While more valuable positions like quarterback will get their fair share of attention this time of year, there are a bevy of teams that need an influx of talent along their front five if their offense is going to improve from 2018. This need is nontrivial from a statistical perspective, as we've found in our wins above replacement (WAR) study that the benefits in going from below replacement level to average along the offensive line are higher than those going from average to elite, which should increase the value of offensive linemen that, in the right scheme, can be competent pros right away.
A year ago, we wrote a series of articles laying out the statistical case for the predictiveness of our college grades and data at the NFL level. A year later and we now have five years of data for every college football player in the FBS, with which we will study how said data translated (so far) to the NFL for the 115 offensive linemen that have at least 250 pass-blocking snaps at tackle, guard or center at the college level and 100 pass-blocking snaps at the NFL level and the 105 players that have the same minimums met for run blocking.
As with everything, if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask us on Twitter @PFF_Eric and @PFF_George. Enjoy!
Since pass protection is the most important thing an offensive lineman does, it only makes sense to start there. We've previously found PFF grades and pressure data to be pretty predictive and stable for NFL players as they transition from season to season in the NFL. That's certainly a great start in terms of documenting the rigor of the PFF system, but is not the same as answering whether or not play at the college level, as measured by PFF, is predictive of play at the pro level. We're going to do this in a few phases, starting from the simple and getting to the more complex.
Metrics considered are per-play averages at the college and pro level for the duration of time the player is both at that level and charted by PFF. This does introduce some issues since players drafted in 2015 will have only one PFF college year and players drafted in 2018 will have only one NFL season. As we collect more data, these issues will dissipate, but we acknowledge them here.
First, PFF grades (on the play-by-play level, not scaled to 0-100) at the college level correlate with PFF grades, "win" rate, pressures allowed and sacks allowed at rates of 0.56, 0.54, -0.52 and -0.39 (the latter two being negative is what you want — higher grades in college yield lower pressure and sack rates allowed at the NFL level). These rates are -0.49, -0.47, 0.48 and 0.33 for pressure rates mapping to the same four variables, whereas "win" rate (defined by earning a zero or positive grade on a pass-blocking rep) correlated at rates of 0.58, 0.56, -0.54 and -0.40. These results are very encouraging, and the fact that PFF grades and "win" rates, while correlating highly with pressure rates (r ~ 0.95), do a better job of prediction at the NFL level than pressures, is a feather in the cap for the PFF system.
Breaking a sample of 115 players into three or five position groups is going to be problematic sample-size wise, but there are 49 players who meet the snap threshold at the college and NFL level while playing tackle, and their college-to-pro correlation in terms of PFF grade is 0.54, which is similar to the entire group pooled above. Interior linemen made a sample size of 51, and their grades were not quite as predictive, with a correlation of 0.19. Danny Isidora and Bradley Bozeman were both players with good college grades and poor NFL performances so far, albeit in just a combined 343 pass-blocking snaps.
With returns on simple analyses high, we turn our attention to adding other contextual variables like height, weight, draft pick (if applicable) and combine metrics. For a number of reasons, data is not always available for every player for every feature, but for the 59 players that had a value for each metric (either from the NFL combine or their pro day), we fit a random forest with five-fold cross-validation to per-play PFF grade and pressure rate at the NFL level and computed variable importances.
For PFF per-play grade earned, the 10 most important variables are, in order:
— PFF grade earned at the college level
— Win rate earned at the college level
— Three-cone time
— Pressure rate allowed at the college level
— Arm length
— Draft pick position (maximum draft slot if UDFA)
— Short shuttle
— Bench press
— Weight
— Sacks allowed at the college level
The order changes slightly when projecting pressure rate, but with the exception of hand size in place of weight, and hit rate allowed in place of sack rate, the top 10 variables stay the same. Thus, while combine metrics measuring size, strength and athleticism certainly matter at the next level in terms of pass protection, PFF grades and charting data, to this point, reign supreme in terms of projection, and other variables offer only a scant increase in predictiveness at the career level.
Run Blocking
While not as important, offensive linemen need to be able to block in the running game, and we need to be able to project them well as they emerge from college to pro. As with pass-blocking, we look at per-play PFF grade (not on the 0-100 scale), "win" rate (the proportion of run-blocking plays given a positive grade by PFF) and "loss" rate (a negative grade).
Per-play PFF grade is correlated at rates of 0.30, 0.25 and -0.21 with PFF grade, win rate and loss rate in the run game from college to pro. Win rate is correlated at rates of 0.21, 0.31 and -0.03 with the aforementioned variables, respectively, while loss rate -0.18, 0.03 and 0.27. This is not nearly as high as the correlations for pass-blocking, but are still good considering that there are numerous different run concepts at the college and pro level, relative to differences seen in passing game schemes. It's also interesting to note that "winning" as defined by PFF grades, is not the opposite of "losing" as we've defined in the previous section on pass-blocking, and are relatively uncorrelated with each other as a player transitions from college to pro.
Filtering down to different positions, the 45 players that meet the snap thresholds at tackle have a higher correlation between their college and pro PFF run-blocking grades (0.42, n = 45), while interior offensive linemen have lower (0.15, n = 45), just as we saw for pass-blocking. Drilling down by run scheme decreases sample size too much at the career level, but is generally useful at the play level to predict future performance (more on this below).
As we did with pass-blocking, we folded in additional data from the NFL combine and pro days in a random forest, and found the following variables had the highest variable performance (n = 56 full cases):
Loss rate at the college level
Draft pick position
Win rate at the college level
Short shuttle
Grade at the college level
Three-cone drill
Forty time
Hand size? While the rest of the upper-tier variables make sense, we tested this algorithm on the two other variables to make sure that there is signal here and not mostly noise, and as expected for win rate and loss rate, hand size remains one of the more important variables, but not in the top five. Thus, as the initial correlation studies would suggest, translating run blocking from college to pro is doable, but not as clean as pass-blocking.
While this article has given you an idea of the quality of PFF's work grading offensive linemen in the passing and running game at the career level, we have play-by-play data at both the college and NFL level, and our actual projection of offensive line play leverages this rich data set by controlling for scheme, opponent, play-level situation, etc. to make projections on players subject to the scheme in which they will play at the NFL. While these specific projections are largely reserved for internal discussions, the PFF Forecast and our clients, viewing offensive line play through this model points us towards an offensive lineman that people have been fading in recent months: Kansas State's Dalton Risner.
Risner's ability to win in pass protection, with PFF grades above 84.0 in that area each year (and over 90.0 the last two), statistically overcome his age (23) and questions about whether or not he would be better suited to play guard. His statistical comps in an "average" scheme are David Bakhtiari and Cordy Glenn, and his 75th percentile comps to players like Duane Brown and Mitchell Schwartz.
While the players that we and most have mocked in the first round are certainly worthy of such acclaim, whichever team gets Risner in the draft will be getting a great value — if recent trends in PFF grading continue!

TOUR DIARY: People Have The Power
Greetings from Groningen! We started the morning off in Amsterdam, where we got word that the Dutch edition of the Women's March was happening a half mile for our hotel. It was an inspiring crowd, remarkably large and as diverse as you could imagine. Everybody was ptimistic and fired up, too. It felt more like a celebration than a protest, which I suppose in some ways it was. There were chants about Donald Trump, about feminism, about peace and love and equality and respect. It was comforting to see that the concern about the direction of our country is one that's shared around the world, and that there are millions willing to join together and stand up for what's right and good. I struggled with what my role as an American man at a Women's March in a foreign country should be. These women didn't need my help to make their voice heard or to legitimize their message. But when I saw how many young children were there, I realized how important it is for them to see as many men as possible attending in a supportive capacity so they grow up knowing we've got their backs. Those young kids are going to be adults soon, and they're going to be the ones who have to get us out of the messes we're creating for ourselves today.
After the march, we hit the road for Groningen, a town I immediately fell in love with. There are beautiful buildings everywhere, but the highlight has to be the massive old church in the center of town. It's called Martinikerk and it was built in the 13th Century. This is a college town, so it's full of young people, but far enough north that it's not much with tourists. The streets are lined with cool little shops and restaurants of every variety.
I've been battling throat issues since the West Coast tour, and tonight was the first night I really felt like myself singing, which was a real relief. The Masterson's invited me back out for their encore to sing "You Ain't Going Nowhere," and I suspect that will become a fixture for the rest of the tour. Next up: Berlin!

On Tuesday 2nd October 2018, I visited Broxtowe Chapter to present our Power point Presentation, 'The Five Regular Platonic Bodies'. This presentation gives a very detailed explanation of the origin and symbolism contained within them, and their geometrical connection to the Triple Tau.
How Plato reasoned that the four elements Fire, Air, Earth and Water with which the world was created were represented by the, Tetrahedron, Octahedron, Cube and the Icosahedron respectively, all contained in the Dodecahedron representing the sphere of the universe.
The presentation also describes their position in the layout of the chapter and the reasoning behind it.
At the conclusion of the lecture, on behalf of EComp Graham Allenby, I presented models of a set of the Platonic bodies to the chapter. Who accepted them with sincere appreciation.
The chapter was attended by 15 members and 1 visitor, who all thoroughly enjoyed the evening, with some very interesting questions and debate at a very friendly Festive board.

News in the hunt for t...
News in the hunt for the Higgs particle
It is Tuesday the 13th of December and there is a live link from CERN, the European research centre in Geneva in Switzerland, where researchers, including members of the Niels Bohr Institute, are taking part in the hunt for the Higgs particle. For 45 years we have been looking for this particle, which according to the Standard Model gives other particles mass. What causes everything to weigh something is a mystery to researchers. Perhaps it is a special particle – the Higgs particle. The rumours are swirling, have they succeeded in finding the Higgs particle?
The press follows the direct transmission from CERN to get the newest results.
At the Niels Bohr Institute physicists are gathered in two auditoriums, filled to the breaking point. They are involved in the research and they know the results of their own project, the ATLAS project. But it is the combined data from the LHC accelerator that can tell us about new discoveries. The expectations are high.
"The reason that expectations are high is that the LHC accelerator has surpassed all expectations. They anticipated 70,000 billion proton collisions during 2011, but the LHC delivered five times as much data. Since both our own experiment, ATLAS and the CMS experiment have new data from the same location, there is a greater likelihood that it may be due to a particle and the most probable mass for a Higgs boson is 126 GeV (giga-electron-volts)", explains Professor Peter Hansen, Head of the Discovery Center at the Niels Bohr Institute.
Physicists have a model that describes the fundamental forces of nature and particles. During the twentieth century the model has suggested that at least two of the four known forces of nature, the electromagnetic force, which governs the atoms and molecules, which we ourselves are made of and the weak force, which causes the sun to shine, come from one and the same symmetry principle. The theory has been able to predict a lot of things and all measurements so far have confirmed the theory and received the name the Standard Model as a result.
Physicists have a model that describes the fundamental forces of nature and particles. The model is called the Standard Model, but an important piece of the puzzle is missing – it is the 'piece' or particle that gives all particles mass. It is called the Higgs particle and researchers have been looking for it for 45 years.
Important piece of the puzzle
But an important piece of the puzzle is missing – it is the 'piece' are particle that gives all particles mass. It is called the Higgs boson and researchers have been looking for it for 45 years. The Higgs boson is a very strange particle, which in theory is the manifestation of "something" which fills all space, even though it is quite empty of normal particles. It is precisely the difficulty of penetrating this "something" in the empty space, which in theory should give the universe's particles the mass, that they now have.
Then it is 14:00. There is now a direct link to CERN where physicists explain the data in the language of physicists. The researchers in the auditorium listen intensely. The press is also present. If the Higgs has been found, it is hot news. The presentation from CERN lasts longer than expected – more than 1½ hours in total. Data is shown on the screens in the form of graphs, charts and statistical analyses and is described as "starts to become interesting", "low mass region" and even "beautiful". But what is the likelihood that it is the Higgs particle?
Convincing results
"The rumours that the Higgs has been found has been confirmed to some extent", says Peter Hansen. "Billions of proton collisions have been analysed and the data suggests that the Higgs might be located in a region with a mass of 126 GeV (giga-electron-volts). We are cautious to say that it IS the Higgs, but these are the most convincing results so far".
So ended this day in the month of Christmas as a true physics Higgs-mas.

Freedom after 18 years: Guantanamo Bay releases its oldest prisoner.
Published on Oct. 31, 2022, 5:34 p.m. by [email protected]
Guantanamo Bay detention facility has released its oldest prisoner to his home country Pakistan. Saifullah Paracha aged 75 finally returned home after spending 18 years in prison.
Mr. Paracha is a Pakistani citizen and a businessman by profession. He owned property in New York and had previously studied computer systems analysis at the New York Institute of Technology. He was accused by the US authority of financing the two terrorists of the September attacks and having contacts with Osama bin Laden and Shaikh Mohammed.
Saifullah of course denied any involvement in terrorism. The financial transaction which is the basis of his case is counter to his statement that he didn't have any prior information about their link with Al-Qaeda yet international law allows The United States of America to hold detainees indefinitely without charge. Mr. Paracha was housed on these alleged charges in 2003 in Thailand following a sting operation of America's domestic intelligence agency FBI. Officials disguised as Kmart representatives asked him to preside over the meeting in Bangkok, Thailand where upon reaching he was subjected to arrest with an accusation of meeting with Osama bin Laden and helping 9/11 executers.
After detention for 14 months at the US military prison in Bagram in Afghanistan. He was sent to the secretive US military base present in Cuba, Guantanamo Bay. Construction came in stages of the notorious prison starting in 2002, often called Gitmo, which was used to retain Muslim militants and suspected terrorists captured by U.S. forces in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. Without a proper investigation and a deserved trial like many prisoners in Guantanamo Bay, Saifullah spent his life precious 18 years locked up for a crime he was innocent of. After that his son, Uzair Paracha was also convicted but the case was deemed void by Judge Sidney H. Stein in 2018.
US President Joe Biden is under coercion to release the uncharged prisoners and trial the actual culprits involved with Al-Qaeda and therefore has taken measures regarding the issue. Henceforth his administration approved Mr. Paracha's release last year along with another Pakistani national Abdul Rabbani followed by Yemen which is in Abdul Rahim Uthman. Mr. Paracha returned to his homeland after a long period was tweeted by Pakistan's foreign minister, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari -
"Mr. Paracha, who was detained in Guantanamo Bay, was released and reached on Saturday. The Foreign Ministry completed an extensive inter-agency process to facilitate the repatriation of Mr. Paracha. We are glad that a citizen detained abroad is reunited with his family."
Mr. Paracha's lawyer Clive Stafford however has four more clients in the prison at present who are all cleared for release and calls their long imprisonment an embarrassment to the US.

The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) is a U.S. federal law designed to limit the collection and use of personal information about children by the operators of Internet services and Web sites. Passed by the U.S. Congress in 1998, the law took effect in April 2000. It is administered and enforced by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). COPPA is "the first U.S. privacy law written for the Internet," Melissa Campanelli wrote in Entrepreneur. "It was written specifically for Internet marketers that operate Web sites visited by children under the age of 13 and collect personal information from those kids. Its purpose is to regulate that collection."
The FTC conducted a survey of 212 Web sites in 1998 and found that 89 percent of them collected personal information from children. Of those that collected data from children, 46 percent did not disclose this fact or explain how the information was used. The law was intended to address this potential problem by requiring Web sites and other online services directed toward children under the age of 13—as well as general audience sites that collect personal information from children—to obtain verifiable consent from the children's parents. "Its stated purpose is to protect children from micro-targeting by advertisers and to minimize the potential for contact with dangerous individuals through chat rooms, e-mail, and bulletin boards by involving parents in kids' online activities," Monica Rogers explained in Crain's Chicago Business.
REQUIREMENTS OF COPPA
COPPA applies to a variety of Web sites and services with content that may appeal to children. "In determining whether a Web site is directed toward children, the FTC will consider, among other things, the site's content, language, advertising and intended audience, as well as the use of child-oriented graphics or features," Antony Marks and Keith Klein noted in the Los Angeles Business Journal.
But the law also affects general interest sites that collect information from children, whether the site's operators intend to do so or not. "The arm of COPPA is very long because it also applies to general audience Web sites that have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information from children," Robert Carson Godbey wrote in Hawaii Business. "You can easily, and inadvertently, fall into this category. If you invite browsers of your Web site to submit individually identifiable information—which can include name, address, e-mail address, hobbies, interests, information collected through cookies, basically anything that can be individually identified to the person responding, for a variety of reasons, and that information includes age—then you may have 'actual knowledge' that you have collected personal information from children if anyone under 13 responds to your invitation."
COPPA requires the operators of these types of Web sites to include a clearly written privacy notice on their home page and anywhere on their site where user data are collected. The privacy policy must reveal who is collecting and maintaining the information children supply to the Web site and provide information about how to contact them; explain how the children's personal information will be used; and state whether it will be made available to third parties. In addition, COPPA requires Web site operators to obtain "verifiable parental consent" in advance of collecting or using personal information from children. Even when parental consent has been granted once, the site operators must seek consent again any time they make changes in their privacy policies. Exceptions to COPPA's parental consent requirements are allowed for the collection of e-mail addresses in order to seek consent, protect the safety of a child, or respond to a child's one-time request (provided that the e-mail address is deleted immediately afterwards).
The FTC rules cite several acceptable methods for Web site operators to verify parental consent, including a signed form sent via fax or regular mail, a credit card number provided online, calls made on a toll-free telephone staffed by trained personnel, and e-mail accompanied by a digital signature or password. The method used by a certain Web site depends on the type of information collected from children and the way it is used. For example, e-mail consent is acceptable for Web sites that collect personal information only for internal purposes, like marketing to a child based on his or her preferences. Stricter methods are required when the information is made available to third parties.
The FTC applies penalties for noncompliance ranging up to $11,000 per incident. Although the financial penalty is stiff, a business that failed to comply with the law would likely suffer even worse consequences as a result of negative publicity. After all, who would want their Web site to be known as one that put children at risk? Unfortunately, COPPA compliance can be complicated. "The goals of COPPA are no doubt admirable. The implementation, however, can be daunting," Godbey noted. "The difficulty comes from the requirement of 'verifiable consent' from a parent '¦ How do you obtain verifiable parental consent? How do you verify parental consent in an online environment where the children probably know more about the family computer than their parents do?"
Many online businesses have also complained that COPPA compliance is expensive. According to Campanelli, some of the major costs of compliance include employing staff to compose and maintain the online privacy policy statements, hiring attorneys to review the policies, and coordinating the collection and secure storage of parental consent forms. Experts estimate that these costs would amount to between fifty cents and three dollars per child interaction, or up to $100,000 per year, for a medium-sized Web site. Faced with these potential costs, some sites were forced to limit access to children over the age of 13. Other sites—like the popular United Kingdom-based site for the "Thomas the Tank Engine" series of books and toys—decided to eliminate their e-mail and chat room features because they could not afford to comply with COPPA.
In response to complaints from Web site operators about the cost of compliance, the FTC noted that COPPA was not intended to block kids' access to information on the Internet. Instead, the law's objective is to involve parents in the decision about whether to release children's personal information. Lawmakers argue that children under 13 are not sophisticated enough to make such decisions on their own.
Like all Internet laws, COPPA is somewhat difficult to enforce. For example, tech-savvy youngsters may find ways to forge parental consent. In addition, the law only applies to companies doing business in the United States, whereas the Internet is global in scope. Some entrepreneurs resent the restrictions imposed by COPPA, arguing that the government should not become involved in regulating the Internet. "One of the beauties of the Internet is that an entrepreneur can begin his or her business with minimal investment and regulatory scrutiny," Campanelli noted. They argue that regulation increases costs for small business owners. But other operators of small Web sites for children believe it is their responsibility to protect their users' privacy, even though it can be expensive. "If you're going to play in the kids' arena, you've got to offer safety, even if it costs," Alison Pohn, marketing director for a children's Web site, told Rogers. "If you operate a school or a camp, you invest in having the safest playground equipment and the best lifeguard at the pool. This is no different."
In any case, it is important for small business owners involved in online commerce to be aware of the provisions of COPPA. The full text of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act is available on the FTC Web site, at www.ftc.gov. In addition, the Direct Marketing Association (DMA) offers a guide to COPPA compliance and a "privacy policy generator" that walks users through the process of creating a compliant policy. Both are available on the DMA Web site, at www.the-dma.org/library/privacy.

Boy airlifted to hospital after falling from Pennsylvania monument in Gettysburg
A boy on a field trip to the Gettysburg National Military Park fell from a monument and was airlifted to Hershey Medical Center on Friday morning.
At about 9 a.m. Friday, emergency services and law enforcement responded to the Pennsylvania State Memorial for a boy who climbed the monument and fell off the top, according to Jason Martz, acting public information officer with the military park.

The boy, who is about 13-years-old, was on a field trip with a group from Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Park law enforcement is still investigating, but they believe the boy sustained some broken bones and internal injuries, Martz said.
The Pennsylvania state monument stands about 100 feet tall along Cemetery Ridge, which was an important part of the Union's defensive position during the Civil War battle. Visitors can climb up inside the monument to an area where they can look out on the battlefield.

Nanowires are more heterogeneous than anticipated
(Nanowerk News) Further progress in the miniaturization of electronic circuitry using conventional approaches will soon reach its limits. Delicate, inorganic semiconducting nanowires offer a possible means of extending these limits, and are of great interest for applications in the areas of optoelectronics and photovoltaics. However, the physical properties of these tiny structures are poorly understood.
"With few exceptions, optical investigations on nanowires have so far been carried out almost exclusively by conventional optical microscopy, which has limited spatial resolution," says Professor Achim Hartschuh of the Faculty of Chemistry and Pharmacy at LMU Munich. He and his group have helped to develop a new method, called tip-enhanced near-field microscopy, which makes use of a tapered metal tip as an optical antenna ("Optical Imaging of CdSe Nanowires with Nanoscale Resolution").
When irradiated with a laser beam, the antenna concentrates the incident light in a minuscule volume around the tip. This confinement effect focuses the light more sharply than is possible using a normal lens. If the tip is positioned a couple of nanometers from the sample, the enhanced optical field also amplifies the weak optical response of single nanostructures – which provides insights into their molecular organization at nanoscale resolution. Using this method, Hartschuh and his colleagues were able to carry out measurements of photoluminescence and Raman scattering on nanowires at a resolution of less than 20 nanometers.
Photoluminescence and Raman scattering both result from interactions of light quanta (photons) with the excited states of the sample, and provide the basis for sensitive optical techniques that can be used to characterize the chemical and electronic properties of materials. Photoluminescence supplies information on quantum effects that are dependent on the diameter of the sample under study.
Raman spectroscopy, on the other hand, is sensitive to the chemical structure of the nanowires. "It was hitherto unclear how these structural and electronic properties vary along the length of nanowires at scales of few nanometers," says Hartschuh, who is also affiliated with the Center for NanoScience (CeNS) at LMU and is a member of the Nanosystems Initiative Munich (NIM), a Cluster of Excellence at LMU. "With the aid of tip-enhanced near-field microscopy, we have been able to close this gap in our knowledge and, to our surprise, we observed significant energy fluctuations along the length of single nanowires," he reports. These variations point to the presence of a higher degree of optical heterogeneity in nanowires than could be visualized using conventional methods.
As Hartschuh emphasizes, "the new findings underline the broad applicability of the tip-enhanced method of near-field microscopy that we have helped to develop." He plans to continue work on the development of innovative high-resolution methods of nanospectroscopy as part of his NEWNANOSPEC project, which is supported by a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant.

A view of early typography: up to about 1600
Harry Carter / Introduction by James Mosley
sewn & flapped paperback
86 b&w pictures
A reprint of this long-out-of-print and now classic work, which summarizes what can be known about the production and use of type in the first 150 years of printing. Originally a set of lectures, the book is an informal discourse by a master of his topic. The argument is illustrated with a large gathering of pictures. A new introduction by James Mosley explains the significance of the book and gives a short account of Carter's life and work.
Introduction to the reprint, by James Mosley
Corrigenda and addenda
The technicalities of type
Diversity of letter-forms in print
The establishment of common idioms
Latin and vernacular
The history of typefounding and punchcutting
Supplement on italic
Old names for bodies of type
A map of Central Europe in 1476
First published by Oxford University Press in 1969, A view of early typography has long been out of print. It is a wonderful summary of what can be known about the production and use of type in the first 150 years of printing. By focusing on type, Carter goes to the heart of the matter: this is the point at which the material processes of printing meet the intellectual concerns of the publishers and the nature of the texts that they published. Among the topics covered: the technicalities of type production, and the passage from craft to industrial manufacture; the diversity of letterforms (blackletter, roman, italic, and more); the tensions between Latin and the vernacular languages; the establishment of standards and norms in type design. Carter ranges widely and deftly over the field of European printing in the period 1450–1600, drawing principally on his own long experience of the materials surviving from that time in libraries and archives. The argument is illustrated with a large gathering of pictures, mainly of details from books, freshly taken for this purpose. This is a photo-reprint of the first edition, augmented by a new introduction in which James Mosley explains the significance of the book and gives a short account a Carter's life and work.
Harry Carter's book has been out of print for years, so it's a delight to have this new, well-made edition, done as a facsimile of the original printing, with a new introduction by the equally erudite and clearly writer James Mosley and a few additional notes that either correct errors in Carter's text or add more recent information. Like most Hyphen Press books, this one is printed and bound in a way that makes it comfortable to hold and to read, and that ought to make it last a long time.

About Gunna
Having dominated majority of 2018, the critically acclaimed Atlanta rapper topped multiple"best of" lists including New York Times, Pitchfork, and Complex and more. Drip Harder, the Gold-certified mixtape released with Lil Baby, hit #4 on Billboard's Top 200 chart which included the double platinum single " Drip Too Hard." Collaborating with some of the biggest artists in the world including Travis Scott, Mariah Carey, Drake, Usher and more, there seems to be no stopping the new age rap star. College Park, Georgia-based rapper Gunna became interested in music and rapping as a hobby in his early teens, but got more serious about the possibility of a career in Hip Hop around 2016, when he was introduced to Atlanta MC Young Thug by a mutual friend. The two developed a friendship, and before long Gunna was in the studio hopping on Young Thug's track"Floyd Mayweather," where he lent a verse alongside rap superstars Gucci Mane and Travis Scott. That feature was enough to jettison Gunna into relative fame, and he became affiliated with Young Thug's "YSL". By late 2016 he'd released the Drip Season mixtape and followed it with Drip Season 2 in the summer of 2017 and toured the US with Playboi Carti. In the fall of 2017 he released a collab EP with producer Wheezy titled Drip or Drown which has had great streaming success. Gunna's Drip Season 3 was executive produced by Metro Boomin and features Young Thug, NAV, Lil Baby, Lil Uzi Vert.

Corporate purpose in the pandemic age – Winnipeg Free Press
by Riel Roussopoulos January 23, 2021, 10:08 pm 1k Views
What's the purpose of a company?
Most businesses ostensibly exist to make money, but the way companies define their role in society is undergoing a generational shift that will produce winners and losers in the years ahead.
In late 2019 the powerful Business Roundtable — representing 181 leading U.S. CEOs — overhauled its definition of a corporation's purpose, ditching shareholder primacy in favour of a more holistic set of indicators including community health, diversity, employee well-being and environmental sustainability.
Notably, the CEOs announced their new definition even before the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic and last year's wave of anti-racism demonstrations — events that have only accelerated the view that the purpose of business isn't simply to generate profit but to serve a wider good.
A fast-growing consensus is now emerging that company reputation, customer loyalty, employee retention and long-term profit are all directly tied to the degree to which businesses are demonstrably improving the world around them.
The year 2021 is the year of corporate values and purpose, and evidence of this ongoing transformation abounds.
In Canada, the U.S. and abroad, companies have announced dramatic policy changes, backed by billions in new funding, to strengthen diversity and address racism. Corporate leaders have emerged as some of the most vocal advocates for action on issues ranging from climate change to mental health.
It may have been inconceivable even a short time ago to imagine the CEO of the largest asset management firm in the world, or the governors of major central banks, being among the planet's most prominent climate advocates, but a new trendline has become firmly established.
It's true that many companies, large and small, have long championed important causes and supported community projects where they operate. It's also true that the trend toward a more pronounced focus on corporate social responsibility, or CSR, began well before the world-changing events of 2020.
But the subtle-yet-significant difference now is a shift from "giving back" to a full reimagining of a business's very reason for being.
Through a certain lens this ongoing transformation may seem radical, but it's more accurately characterized as a rational and commensurate response to the upheaval we've witnessed since the pandemic retooled virtually every element of work and life.
It is a post-pandemic reality that employees and customers expect more from business than a competitive salary or goods and services at the best price. The pandemic has exposed our very human vulnerabilities, priorities and concerns. The companies now best equipped to thrive know that success transcends product; it hinges on an ability to understand and meet a much more expansive and encompassing suite of customer and employee expectations and needs. All businesses, regardless of sector, are part of the empathy economy now.
The good news for business leaders is that opportunities to carve out a relevant, impactful and unifying purpose are all around. The past year has delivered no shortage of new challenges that desperately demand solutions — many of which have compounded old problems.
We now live, for example, in a post-pandemic world hungry for better ways of working: ways that elevate productivity while giving employees more domain over their time and more connection with their families.
We need better solutions to address the social gaps and inequity that have been exacerbated by the pandemic. We also need ways to help small businesses recover and become more resilient to future shocks, just as we'll need ways to rebuild and revitalize our downtowns given the magnitude of permanent closures.
It's increasingly clear we'll need new ways to address the mental health toll expected to persist long after the threat of the virus has passed, and recent events in the U.S. underscore the need to strengthen the health of our democracy and fortify community trust, understanding and goodwill.
The list goes on. The companies best positioned for post-pandemic success aren't those inclined to leave these challenges for others, but who are driven to embrace them with a sense of opportunity, possibility and urgent purpose.
