As per the sources of etonline, the duo liked each other during the show and rehearsal and became interested in each other. Seriously Hot: Alan Bersten performs a sensual salsa with Paige VanZant on Dancing With The Stars Published on Mar 29, 2016 They might have seen it coming when The Entertainment Tonight queried during the semi-finals about their building romance. That doesn't mean that there hasn't been speculation, however. Infor one episode after Ballas suffered a back injury. It is the chemistry between dance pro Alan Bersten and Instagram model Alexis Ren that has everyone talking! He finished in the Top 6 Males with a contemporary dance he performed blindfolded. No wonder he has become proficient in contemporary, jazz, hip-hop, Bollywood and Broadway as he grew up. His favourite color is Blue.
Alexis and Alan on DWTS: Are they dating? What about Alexis' boyfriend?
This score did not only signified their talent but drought the social media to a massive frenziness of their possible romance. People revealed all about he had removed from his neck. He has a sister named Dr. Only time will tell how serious they get once the competition is over. The tumor was benign and doctors told him it is very unlikely it will happen again.
At first, they thought it might just be from a supplement, but it turned out that he had a tumor in his neck that would have to be removed. After visiting the world, he landed the recurring role as a show choir, Vocal Adrenaline on season six of Glee. Before the partners could dance, Alexis shared her thoughts about Alan. Similarly, in for one episode after Savchenko injured his knee. She is deeply devoted to her chocolate Labrador and an avid long distance runner.
We previously reported that when Alexis joined Dancing With The Stars, she was in a with a man named Sky Bear. Tom Bergeron and Erin Andrews are hosting the show. Watching Bersten rise from fan, to troupe member, and now to professional dancer really makes you want to root for him to go all the way. Bersten may not even have the time for dating. So, I just wanted to be back as soon as possible, dancing.
But watching the young kids dance, he stated that he would constantly be praying to God asking him not to mess the performance. Alan was born to his Russian parents as the youngest of the three children. Not quite perfect, but a clear indication of how Alan and Alexis' partnership is gradually improving and it also ran chills down the spine among other competitors. The star's representative told Dailymail. Growing up, Bersten ended up mastering in Broadway, Bollywood, hip-bounce, contemporary, and other forms of dancing. But so far, both of them are playing coy, according to the Daily Mail, and Alexis before the episode on Monday night.
He is 23 years old. In fact, by all accounts, it seems that she was in a relationship when she joined Dancing With The Stars. He did his education from University of Minnesota. It is what it is. Bersten started dancing at a young age of seven and was taught by his elder brother, Gene. What is wrong with them? And Alan had a strange revelation to make about his participation in the show. Obviously his current partner, Morris, is happily married, but if Bersten gets sometime in the near future, he might be able to strike up a romance with a future partner after all.
Body Measurements: Height and Weight Bersten stands tall with decent height and has a flexible body for a dancer. The first episode of this season premiered on 18 September, 2017. Girlfriend— This handsome hunk is not in a relationship with anyone. It would make sense for the partners to be together. Alan has a scar in his body, but it made him grow stronger.
The two have however not confirmed whether they are dating. Hyperparathyroidism a tumor in the neck couldn't; what else? He explained that it is standard for straight, with only a quick break for lunch. As per wiki, Alan studied at the University of Minnesota. His family origin lies in Russia. Throughout October 2018, numerous tweets of their fans addressed them to ship as a couple. Here's what else you need to know about Bersten before his pro debut. Things are heating up on Dancing With The Stars! And Alexis proved those fans right on Monday.
How fortunate of the 24 years old Dancing With The Stars troupe member, Alan Bersten to be flaunting his dance moves with some of the sensational celebrities! I mean, the show should be a dating show. As of October 2018, the American dancer is reportedly unmarried and has never mentioned about his possible wife on his interviews or social media. At the tender age of seven, Alan started dancing, and his older brother became his tutor. Does Alan Have Wife In 2018? Emma Slater and Sasha Farber were married in March 2018, about a year after Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd tied the knot. He has got a great physique as seen from his posts on Instagram. Fans better tune in to find out. Maks Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd, met on the show, fell in love, had a baby, and got married.
Alexis Ren Has Feelings For Alan Bersten: 'DWTS' Romance In The Works?
He is currently focusing on his dancing career. Look, if you want to spend time with someone after working with them for as long as we work together, then more power to you. Alexis affirmed she loves the energy of Alan and they have remained absorbed in the competition. He attended the Planet Hollywood Times Square on 12 September 2018 and during the photoshoot, Alan expressed his excitement over the first meeting with Alexis. In the past former pro Derek Hough formed a relationship with contestant Shannon Elizabeth. They tested him at Urgent Care and found out that he had a high level of calcium in his blood. In his family, the dancer has two siblings, which include a sister and an older brother.

Percy Charles Herbert Black (1877-1917), soldier and goldminer, was born on 12 December 1877 at Beremboke, Victoria, eleventh child of William John Black, farmer, and his wife Ann, née Longmore; both parents were natives of Antrim, Ireland. He was educated at Beremboke State School and became a carpenter before going prospecting on the Western Australian goldfields. In 1901-13 he worked claims at Black Range and Sandstone and was mining at Mount Jackson when World War I broke out.
Black enlisted as a private in the 16th Battalion, Australian Imperial Force, on 13 September 1914 and sailed for Egypt in December. He first saw action at the Gallipoli landing on 25 April 1915 when his unit took over the Pope's Hill zone. Within a week Lance Corporal Black, who headed one of the machine-gun crews, had been highly commended by his commanding officer. Though wounded in the hand and the ear he refused to leave his post until his weapon had been smashed by Turkish bullets. On 2 May he mounted a machine-gun beyond Gully Ridge; his only companion was shot dead but Black, surrounded by Turks and without any assistance, fired into the enemy lines until his ammunition was exhausted. For this action he received the Distinguished Conduct Medal and five days later was commissioned second lieutenant in the field. He was mentioned in dispatches on 5 August, promoted temporary captain four days later, and remained at Gallipoli until the evacuation. Charles Bean later described Black and his No. 2 gunner H. W. Murray as 'men of no ordinary determination' and their 'magnificent' machine-gun section as 'possibly the finest unit that ever existed in the A.I.F.'.
Black was promoted major on 27 April 1916. His unit was posted to the Western Front in June and suffered severe casualties in the battle of Pozières. On 28 August it returned to the front line and two days later Black's 'B' Company was detailed to capture Mouquet Farm. In the attack Black immobilized a machine-gun, killing the gunner, before being wounded in the neck and evacuated. He was later awarded the Distinguish Service Order and the French Croix de Guerre for gallantry at Pozières and Mouquet Farm; he was also mentioned in dispatches twice. His next engagement was the first battle of Bullecourt on 11 April 1917. Tanks, sent in to clear a passage through the wire, failed to reach their objective and the infantry found themselves facing intense machine-gun fire along an unbroken entanglement. Black, commanding the battalion's right flank, led his men through a 'hurricane fusillade', captured the first trenches and pressed on towards the support-line, but was then shot through the head; he was one of 640 casualties in the 16th Battalion that day. His comrade Harry Murray made an impassioned search for his body; however, he has no known grave and his name is commemorated on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial, France. The action in which he died is depicted in a diorama in the Australian War Memorial; a near-by painting by Charles Wheeler is entitled 'Death of Major Black'.
Of splendid physique, quiet and unassuming in manner, Black was 'a born leader of men and a natural soldier' and his courage was a byword. Bean once described him as 'the greatest fighting soldier in the A.I.F.'.

I just received my test kit today. In the time it took for it to be delivered, I was able to bring the pool back to almost crystal clear but its not yet perfect.
Can you guys help confirm what I've been learing in pool school? I essentially need to bring up CH by at least 20ppm, CYA up another 10 count and FC up at least 3.5.
Just ran the test 4/4/17 at 8:30pm. Had added 1-gallon of 10% liquid chlorine almost exactly 24hrs prior.
Dont worry about the CH right now, I imagine it will be up in no time in AZ. What is your fill water CH there?
If you are about to start normal operations, I would suggest at least 40 Cya, and Chlorine as required for that level.
I'll test it in a few minutes.
One of the challenges I have is that the CYA test didnt register any readings below the lowest marking on the tube. Assuming the CYA is zero and we're shooting for 40, I'll need about 107oz of stabilizer.
I'm going to start with 4lbs of Clorox Stabilizer since thats about 64oz and conveniently exactly one container. Its less than what I think is need but almost perfect if CYA was 15 and we're trying to raise by 25.
Did you fill the tube to the top and still see the dot. Or did the dot disappear with only a little water in the tube.
Filled to the top until my toes got a little wet.
I dont think I'd be cosuming as much chlorine as I have been if my CYA was high enough where only a little water in the tube hindered my view of the dot.
Ah understood. I just wanted to make sure. I saw that you said the water was a little cloudy so you could certainly have gone through chlorine if there was something growing in the water with very high cya.
I have a sock hanging too, at the end of my brush about a foot from the wall in the return jet.
I actually use 2 socks tied together and draped over the pole.
Good call, made a slight adjustment so its hanging freely without touching the wall.
You mentioned you did the testing at 8:30pm last night. Did you do the CYA test inside or outside?
The CYA test should be done outside on a sunny day, your back to the sun, holding the tube at waist level. Try not to stare at the black dot - instead, just glance at it, look away, add a bit more of the solution and glance at it again. You can also pour the solution back into the dispensing bottle and do the test again. This was especially helpful to me when first doing to test - as it was difficult for me to determine the CYA level at first.
Now that you have the CYA hanging in the pool, you can squeeze the sock every so often to help dissolve faster. Dose your CL now for what you think your target CYA is (the CYA level after all added is dissolved). Adding 64oz stabilizer will raise CYA 24 in a 20,000gallon pool.
I did the CYA test inside directly under a can light in my kitchen. The solution in the dispensing bottle was perfectly clear so I ran it again and got the same results. It does make sense to have low CYA since the water is relatively new and has only seen liquid chlorine but I could be wrong there.
I made the assumption CYA was between 5 & 15 when calculating what 64oz of stabilizer would do. The plan is to target 30 and work my way up to 40, worst case is 40 right off the bat if CYA was truly 15.
That is perfect. You have a good handle on this.
You may want to get up toward 50 as we get into summer.
#5 describes being outside with back to the sun. Doing the test as suggested there will lead to a more accurrate and consistent result.
Here in the desert, a CYA of 40 or 50 is a good starting point. Then see what your daily CL consumption is and adjust from there. I was running at 40 until August of last year. I went on vacation for 2 weeks and used tri-chlor tabs while away. CYA increased to almost 50 during my absense. Having the CYA at 50 helped reduce my CL consumption a little.
Yeah I saw #5 and since it was late into the night, I found the brightest source of artificial light I could as recommended. Please note I was giddy like a little school girl opening the kit and there was no way I could wait for the morning!
How many tri-chlor tabs did you use and can you provide info on them? I have a lot of time planned away from home this summer so the idea is to have a low CYA and let it creep up with tri-chlor while helping keep FC in line.
I spent most of last night searching for threads on CYA levels in AZ and found some good stuff. Thank you for the pointer!
I certainly understand getting a new toy and couldn't wait until morning. Just wanted to point you in the direction of that article in case you hadn't seen it.
I think you're headed in the right direction on keeping the CYA on the low side since you plan on being away from home for a few times this summer. What I did was bring the pool up to SLAM level for my CYA reading using liquid chlorine just before leaving and also floated a few tabs. A friend stopped by about half way through the 2 weeks I was away and added a gallon of chlorine for me. I returned to a clear pool, pH in range and CL just a little higher than I normally keep it.
The trick is to get a baseline average of how much CL you use daily. Then account for how many days you will be gone at one stretch, add a couple extra days to that (just in case) and dose accordingly. If only gone for a few days, bumping the CL up enough above your normal target dose should work - no need to add tabs (and the CYA associated with them. Just remember, CL will burn off a little faster the higher it is above target.
Yeah - every pool is different. But it's always good to have an idea of what others in your area are using.
I tested again tonight and CYA is exactly at 30. FC at 9.
Adding another 77oz of 10% liquid chlorine to bring FC up to 12 tonight. I think CYA will continue to rise over the next few days and hopefully settle at 40. If so, I'll bring up the FC to 16 and hold for the SLAM process.
Woooo finally managed to test in the daytime!
I'm going to bump up the FC to 12 with 51oz of CL today. Since FC loss from the prior day was <2ppm and included a full day in the sun, I'm going to perform my first OCLT starting tonight. I feel confident FC loss will be <1ppm and I can end the SLAM.
Next step will be to start testing the CL consumption rate and figure out where I want the CYA to be.
Now its time to start testing FC consumption rates.

« Thornton recorded its first snow of the season today with 1 1/2″ falling during the night and morning.
It always seems like we have some sort of moisture on Halloween doesn't it?
Historically there is actually a pretty good chance that we will! Click here for more.

"What asylum office? An asylum office in Beni Ansar? But that's impossible! We can't get near the border! That's for the Syrians," said one Guinean national, interviewed by the Andalusian Pro-Human Rights Association (APDHA) in their 2016 annual report.
He was living, like many other African migrants, in the forests of the Nador province, waiting for a chance to risk his life, climbing the fence, swimming around the harbour or hiding under a truck. Once inside the Spanish city, he would be able to apply to become a refugee.
In November 2014, Spain announced the opening of two Offices of Asylum and Refuge (OAR), one in each of its two autonomous cities in Northern Africa: Ceuta and Melilla. They were up and running before the end of the year, but the results weren't as expected. In Ceuta, the office is closed and unused. In Melilla, only Arabs and North Africans can access it.
The figures speak volumes. According to data from the Interior Ministry, around 1,000 people applied for refugee status in Melilla in the first five months of 2017. Of those, 882 did so at the border: all from Syria, Palestine, Yemen, Lebanon or the Maghreb region. The remaining 119 applied once inside the territory; among them were citizens from several countries in sub-Saharan Africa, including 45 Guineans.
The Melilla Office of Asylum and Refuge sits right next to the Spanish passport control. An asylum seeker coming from the Moroccan side would have to clear the border controlled by the North African country's police before having a chance to apply for asylum in Spain. But Moroccans don't let sub-Saharan Africans through. In two years, only a handful of sub-Saharan women, covered with veils and wearing heavy makeup, have made it through the border on foot, but there's no evidence that they applied for asylum.
"Here you have another. He's underage, but only for a couple more days," said the female police officer, handing a dog-eared blue passport to her colleague in the asylum office. The boy sat down in a small waiting room and soon was speaking in Arabic to a UNHCR staff member. The UN agency assists the Spanish police at the office, but doesn't manage it itself.
The boy's passport was Syrian but, most likely, it was not the one he used to cross the Moroccan border. "It's not as if the Moroccan police let the Syrians in, but they buy fake Moroccan passports from the mafia and because they look similar to the locals, they get to cross the border," says Helena Maleno, a Morocco-based journalist and human rights activist. A number of other human rights organisations, including APDHA and PRODEIN Melilla, have independently confirmed this practice.
"Melilla is like a mousetrap. Getting in is the easy part," says local attorney Leopoldo Bueno. The city is almost an expansion of the border itself. Migrants who are not kicked out and sent back to Morocco are allowed to roam free, while staying in the Centre for Temporary Lodging of Immigrants (CETI). However, getting out of the border town and into Europe is not an easy task, particularly for refugees.
When refugees apply for asylum in Melilla (at the border or later at the CETI), they get a temporary card identifying them as asylum seekers. This document allows them to stay in the city, although they are banned from working until their status has been resolved. But the card includes an ominous inscription: "Valid only in Melilla". There are dozens of cases of red-card carrying travellers being denied access to the ferry into Spain — a practice repeatedly denounced by the Spanish Commission for the Protection of Refugees (CEAR). Recently, the Madrid Supreme Court ruled that asylum seekers have the right to travel to the mainland.
Eventually, both asylum seekers and migrants get moved to Europe. However, the wait can be long. And sub-Saharan Africans feel that if they apply for asylum, it can take months or even years before that happens. For Leopoldo Bueno, this is one of the many examples of misinformation swirling around the migrant community. "They hear the stories that they won't get out of Melilla if they apply for asylum, so many who could do it decide not to. But they do get out eventually. It's just that it's a long process."
However, according to Isabel Torrente, from Melilla Acoge, a local organisation that helps migrants overcome administrative, legal and linguistic hurdles, there's some truth to the idea that certain nationalities are processed more swiftly. "It's true that they eventually get moved to the Iberian peninsula, but who comes and who goes isn't clear." Do Syrians usually get out of Melilla faster? "Yes, they usually do," she says.
Jose Palazon of the PRODEIN Melilla NGO thinks it's a clear case of institutional racism. "They don't want Africans as refugees. They don't fit the narrative. Only Syrians do, so they win in a loser's game," says the activist.

Little Theatre in Gateshead is home to the Progressive Players and is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2018 with three very different productions before the turn of the year.
The renowned Progressive Players are fully intent on finishing this special year for Little Theatre in fine style with three modern classics. First up is Alan Ayckbourn's 'Bedroom Farce' featuring three bedrooms, four couples and one very long, and very funny Saturday night. In November they have Francis Durbridge's 'Fatal Encounter'. Not so much a 'whodunnit' as a 'whydunnit' it features Howard who is concerned for his wife, Joanna, who is unusually distressed since her return from the country. The play takes a sinister turn when Howard arrives home to find Perry, a former friend, has been shot by Joanna in a struggle… In December they're giving us 'A Bunch of Amateurs' by Ian Hislop and Nick Newman, in which, after a mix-up, a fading Hollywood star has his ego tested when he winds up playing King Lear with a bunch of enthusiastic am-dram thesps. It should bring the curtain down nicely on what is a very special year for the theatre.

James Rasberry Is MSEA President
"Rooster" Rasberry always got up too early. That's what his mother said, and that's why she nicknamed him when he was about two or three years old.
Maybe that's why James S. Rasberry is an accomplished builder… and builder of many things. James is the President of the Mississippi State Equine Association and for lots of reasons.
He was on his father's framing crew when he was l5 years old, and was trimming homes in his native Attala County when he was 20. Three years later, James was still getting up early, feeding the horses and starting his own construction company. By 1985 "Rooster" Rasberry was the youngest President ever elected from the 2,000-member Home Builders Association of Mississippi.
During that time two of his three daughters started riding competitively. It was a weekend ritual to load horses "early" and travel anywhere in Mississippi for a horse show, and get back home at 2 or 3 a.m. While the girls were barrel racing and riding western pleasure, Rasberry introduced himself to a sport that was new to the State of Mississippi in the early 1990's. Team penning was a new craze that had just reached Mississippi, and he said, "it spread like wildfire."

Vietnam: 330 illegal strikes in six months
A total of 330 strikes have been recorded so far this year and all of them were illegal because they were not led by the trade union and didn't follow the law, reported the Vietnam National Confederation of Labour at a conference in Hanoi on June 16-17.
The confederation's Vice Chairman, Mai Duc Chinh, said that under the current regulations, only grassroots trade unions have the right to organise strikes, but this regulation is unrealistic because there is no mechanism to protect trade union leaders and most employers don't positively cooperate with trade unions.
Most leaders of grassroots trade unions assume many jobs so they don't have much time for this job. Their skills as trade union leaders are also very poor, Chinh said.
He also said that the rules on compensating companies for losses caused by illegal strikes are unfeasible. For example, a company in HCM City lodged a case with the court but its petition was rejected because it was unable to define the major subject of the lawsuit among 10,000 workers participating in the strike.
Since the amended Labour Code took effect on July 1, 2007, illegal strikes have continued to increase in number.
Under the current law, labourers are not allowed to go on strike in conflicts of rights but must bring the conflict to court. They can go on strike if conflicts of interest are not solved by negotiations. Labourers must compensate their employers if the court finds that their strikes were illegal.

Where should drop cap be suitable?
I wonder where drop caps should be used. So far, I only see them in column of newspaper. Are there any cases which drop caps shouldn't be used, like in scientific papers or brochures?

Fifteen Centuries of Versals
There are many ways to indicate the beginning (or resumption) of a section of text, including paragraph indents, blank lines, changing the weight or style of the opening part of the text, ornamentation like fleurons — and versals, a category that includes drop caps.
A Manuscript Example
Versals, also known as lettrines, originated in the scribal tradition of illuminated manuscripts. The Book of Kells and the Lindisfarne Gospels are overflowing with elegant and sometimes even lavish examples of these.
For example, from the prefatory material to the Gospel of Mark in the Lindisfarne Gospels on page 15, we find this excellent example from around 700 ᴀᴅ:
Here the opening letter M for Marcus is a large versal, but the scribe does not just jump right into regular text, but finishes the rest of the word in a style intermediate between the versal proper and the normal text that follows it.
For the most glorious of versals, where no expense was spared, silver or even gold leaf was added (tip for calligraphers: when laying silver leaf, use a blue backing, and when laying gold leaf, a red one), and the versal could expand to fill the entire page.
Perhaps the finest example of this is the Book of Kells's Chi Rho page, whose chi-rho monogram of the Greek letter chi, Χ, and the Greek letter rho, ρ, is not only a page-filling versal but a unique work of art:
By the way, that monogram is so famous that it has its own code point in Unicode, U+2627. That's ☧ in the current font, or in George Douros's highly recommended Symbola face.
A Letterpress Example
Following Gutenberg's Bible, the second book to be printed using movable type was the Mainz Psalter in 1456. This typeset work artfully combines two-color printing of movable type and woodcut, with the woodcut versals printed in blue and red and the "normal" (read, movable-type) text printed in black and red:
So versals survived the transition from manuscript to set type reasonably intact, although just how much trouble and cost the typographer and printer wants to puts himself through varies. For exceptional printings, a rubicrator was hired to add the finishing touches by hand. The Mainz Psalter was quite expensive to produce even its day, and two-color printing remains something of a rarity today, where it is found only in the fanciest and generally collectable volumes.
Costly though such printing is, combining illustration and type in the page and in two colors no less, it was still immeasurably cheaper in both time and material than the illuminated manuscripts that preceded it: it could be mass-produced.
A Modern Example
Versals continue to be used in print today, although more often in fancier texts than a refereed journal article. You see them often enough in magazines, although not always to the same level of quality. A lavish, leather-bound volume printed in two colors may well have them.
But on the web, calling it a challenge is too charitable by half, for the web has for the most part not even reached Gutenberg's level of sophistication in typography. It can be done, but it is difficult and tricky, and varies depending on what technology you are using.
However, if you are setting a text that shall see actual print, or are using something like InDesign to set that text, then you certainly can use drop caps.
In The Elements of Typographic Style, Bringhurst spends a fair bit of time talking about how to do, and how not to do, versals in typeset text. Here is just a small excerpt of the larger text on the matter, with bold emphasis mine:
[. . .] Another excellent method of marking the start of the text, inherited form ancient scribal practice, is a large initial capital: a versal or lettrine. Versals can be treated in many ways. Indented or centered, they can stick up from the text. Flush left, they can be nested into the text (typographers call these drop caps, as opposed to elevated or stick-up caps). If there is room, they can hang in the left margin. They can be set in the same face as the text or in something outlandishly different. In scribal and typographic tradition alike, where the budget permits, versals too are generally red or another color in preference to black.
Elevated caps are easier to set well from a keyboard, but drop caps have closer links with the scribal and letterpress tradition. And the tooling and fitting of drop caps is something typographers do for fun, to test their skill and visual intuition. It is common practice to set the first word or phrase after the versal in caps, small caps, or boldface, as a bridge between versal and normal text.
On the following page, Bringhurst then illustrates seven examples of how a versal can be set, with subtle differences between them.
In each example, Bringhurst uses small caps for the phrase that the versal began, which serves as a stepping stone to the normal text. Every one of his seven versal examples does something slightly different from the others:
Osculetur: The first versal is not a drop cap but an elevated one. The large O is indented. It is set in Castellar (at 54 points), a face specifically designed for versals. Because of the way it does not flow into the text that follows the way a drop cap does, in my opinion this sort of versal would work better at a chapter head than at a section head — which is exactly what Bringhurst has done here.
Trahe: From here on out we are in the same face as the body, but set at 42 points. Notice how with this one, the versal hangs a bit in the left margin, with the text flush left against it. However, the stem of the T is within the normal text block, not hanging out. So it is not centered at the margin, but balanced.
«Nigra: Now the versal is flush with the rest of the body, but the chevron used for quotation hangs in the left margin and is larger than the normal text but not quite so large as the versal itself; it is also centered against the versal. This looks rather nice, as is to be expected with hanging punctuation of this sort.
"Adiuro: Here the punctuation and versal are both flush left again, but now the text block to the versal's right is fitted line by line to the shape of the versal. This is important, because if the three lines were aligned with each other, the gaping hole in the middle of the word could cause confusion.
Vox: This versal hangs in the left margin, but is exactly centered, and its adjacent text block is fitted to flow with the versal.
Surge: This versal is set at the exact margin, without any hanging. The adjoining text block is not exactly fitted to the versal but its small cap portion starts at a different point than the two lines immediately below it.
Lavi: Although this versal may at first glance look to be the same style as the one immediately preceding it, it is not. The stem of the L is flush left, which means that the serif at its top hangs just a tiny bit in the left margin. You can tell because its edge is to the left of the word terra just above it.
As you see, there's a lot more subtlety to doing a good job with drop caps than might be immediately obvious. That's why it is "something typographers do for fun," as Bringhurst puts it.
How Not to Do Drop Caps
So where should you use these? They work best at the beginning of a chapter. They would not be used in text submitted to a refereed journal because that journal will always have its own style into which your submission must be fit.
But setting them well requires skill, and it is better not to use them at all than to set them poorly. In my opinion — and with all due respect, the example given in another answer here is an example of how not to set a versal:
What's wrong with that, you ask?
For one thing, it is using a drop cap for After but not fitting the text to the right to the versal's shape. It does not look good to have all that space, and the reader might momentarily wonder what "a fter" might be.
For another, that text block ends up crowding the versal too much, even though it started out by not crowding it enough. The phia at the start of the last indented line is nearly on top of the bottom right foot of the A. You have to let your drop caps breathe; notice how differently Bringhurst's A is set compared to the one in the later example.
Finally, there is no transitioning from the drop cap to the normal text. It just abruptly switches to the full body text with no intermediary form or forms. That's not very attractive — or sensible.
The example added to the original question has many of the same problems, and then some:
Problems in that example include a misaligned baseline for the versal, no fitting of the text to the letter, lack of transitioning from versal to normal text, and not enough breathing room for the versal. See the Bringhurst L for a better way to do all that.
The example also uses the nonsense Lorem ipsum text — which, being not Latin but fake-Latin "garblese", can seriously annoy scholars, since it has "words altered, added, and removed such that it is nonsensical, improper Latin."
Lastly, something has gone very wrong with the kerning for that font; look, for example, at the letterfit around the various instances of the letter c. It's as though there were a thin space inserted after every c.
So drop caps can be done just fabulously when properly setting text, even if the brutish typography available on the web can make this seem next to impossible to do well.
But if you're creating PDF not HTML, go for it, because drop caps certainly can be done wonderfully — and should be, or not done at all.
tchristtchrist
Glad you decided to come on by and leave an answer!
What do you think of using drop-cap letters which are "decoratively framed", and having all but the first line to the right of the drop cap insert some extra space before them (as with the "Surge" example)? Also, for the "Adiuro" example, I would favor having the first line hug the "A" but the second line start above the third; for "Vox", having the second and third lines come in is good, but I would favor having more space before them than before the first. Would you concur with such judgments?
@supercat I rather like the examples as presented. They demonstrate a variety of different approaches, and the professional setter of type should have all these and more at the ready.
– tchrist
@tchrist: I agree the examples are nice; my suggestions were intended to go in the "and more" category.
Its said that drop caps are used to define the beginning of large amounts of text as a visual marker. So typically any content that has to be typeset some will add a drop cap at the beginning of the chapter that takes away an eye soar of text anywhere between two or three lines such as:
Drop Caps are not typically readable but an elegant identification of where the text is starting so keep that in mind. I would not use a drop cap in any work that has small amount of text and I would base it on the design. If you are designing a nice elegant brochure and have around four lines of text in a column than create one but consider your width of the allowed area so if you have 3 pica it may not be a wise idea.
Even though your question isn't in regards to Drop Caps for the web I still want to reference a nice read I found a few years ago called "Drop Caps: Historical Use And Current Best Practices With CSS" by Smashing Magazine that does cover some information I just told you.

What's "an eye soar of text"? I can't really make "eyesore" fit that sentence, either, I'm afraid.

Is it good to have drop caps when there are already headings? I suppose it's only useful when the text doesn't have any heading, but it still contained clusters of paragraphs that should be distinct from each other?

Born: 22 October 1824, Cork, Ireland.
Died: 22 February 1893, Barkley West, South Africa.
Francis Henry Samuel Orpen was the eldest son of Reverend Dr Charles Edward Herbert Orpen (MD), member of a family of Irish landed gentry, and his wife Alicia Francis Coane (born Sirr). Two of his younger brothers were Charles S. Orpen* and Joseph M. Orpen*. Francis studied medicine for three years but had to give up because of health problems. He came to the Cape in 1844 to recuperate, accompanied by his brother Charles, and remained in the Colony. During the next few years the rest of the family followed them to South Africa, where Charles senior financed his sons' farming venture on the farm Taai Bosch Fontein near De Aar. In 1849 Francis was admitted to practice as a land surveyor and three years later he and his brother Joseph were appointed as surveyors in the Orange River Sovereignty (now the Free State) under the superintending land surveyor of the territory, J.H. Ford*. When Britain gave up the Sovereignty in 1854 - a move which Francis strenuously opposed - he left the territory and later settled on the farm Sinclair along the Vaal River near present Douglas. On 23 October 1855 he married Sarah Anne Murray (1834-1906) with whom he had eleven children. Two of their daughters, Katherine* (Kate) and Lilian*, were active in natural history and archaeology, while Francis himself presented some marine molluscs from the Cape coast to the Albany Museum in Grahamstown.
In 1867 Francis and David Arnot, an agent for the Griquas, planned a settlement just north of the Orange River, near its confluence with the Vaal River, with Douglas as its seat of government. Francis surveyed the settlement and became civil commissioner and resident magistrate at Douglas. He and Arnot campaigned for the annexation of Griqualand West and its diamond fields by Britain, which took place in 1871. During that year Francis extended the coastal triangulation that Captain W. Bailey* had completed in 1863 some 100 km northwards to the Orange River, connecting it to a survey made by his brother Joseph in the Aliwal North division.
After the annexation of Griqualand West Francis was appointed magistrate and (in October 1872) surveyor-general of the territory. Also in 1872 he was instructed to survey the disputed border between Griqualand West and the Orange Free State. His recommendations and map showing the location of the border were accepted by both parties in 1876. Also in 1872, and again in 1874, he was appointed as a commissioner to report on conflicting land claims. As the Orange Free State continued to contest the rights of Waterboer to the diamond fields, the lieutenant-governor of Griqualand West, Sir Richard Southey*, asked David Arnot and Francis to substantiate Waterboer's claim. This they did in The land question of Griqualand West: an inquiry into the various claims of land in the territory, together with a brief history of the Griqua nation (Cape Town, 1875). Francis subsequently compiled a detailed map of Griqualand West on six sheets (1878).
When Griqualand West was incorporated into the Cape Colony in 1881 Francis retired on pension and was elected as a member of the Cape House of Assembly for Barkley West, one of the two constituencies into which the former territory was divided. He served the constituency for two years. During this period the (short-lived) South African Institution of Engineers, Architects and Surveyors - the first engineering society in southern Africa - was founded in Kimberley in October 1881 and Francis Orpen elected as its first president. He was furthermore a Fellow of both the Royal Astronomical Society and the Royal Geographical Society. Throughout his life in the Cape Colony he was engaged in scientific pursuits, particularly in astronomy and geology. When the astronomer Dr W.S Elkin* visited Kimberley in 1881 Francis provided him with astronomical instruments to make the first accurate determination of the longitude of the town.
