Something is coming after Tiffany ...
Tiffany Aching is ready to begin her apprenticeship in magic. She expects spells and magic not chores and ill-tempered nanny goats! Surely there must be more to witchcraft than this!
What Tiffany doesn't know is that an insidious, disembodied creature is pursuing her. This time, neither Mistress Weatherwax (the greatest witch in the world) nor the fierce, six-inch-high Wee Free Men can protect her. In the end, it will take all of Tiffany's inner strength to save herself ... if it can be done at all.

Read an Excerpt
A Hat Full of Sky
Chapter One
It came crackling over the hills, like an invisible fog. Movement without a body tired it, and it drifted very slowly. It wasn't thinking now. It had been months since it had last thought, because the brain that was doing the thinking for it had died. They always died. So now it was naked again, and frightened.
It could hide in one of the blobby white creatures that baa'd nervously as it crawled over the turf. But they had useless brains, capable of thinking only about grass and making other things that went baa. No. They would not do. It needed, needed something better, a strong mind, a mind with power, a mind that could keep it safe.
It searched. . . .
The new boots were all wrong. They were stiff and shiny. Shiny boots! That was disgraceful. Clean boots, that was different. There was nothing wrong with putting a bit of a polish on boots to keep the wet out. But boots had to work for a living. They shouldn't shine.
Tiffany Aching, standing on the rug in her bedroom, shook her head. She'd have to scuff the things as soon as possible.
Then there was the new straw hat, with a ribbon on it. She had some doubts about that, too.
She tried to look at herself in the mirror, which wasn't easy because the mirror was not much bigger than her hand, and cracked and blotchy. She had to move it around to try and see as much of herself as possible and remember how the bits fitted together.
But today . . . well, she didn't usually do this sort of thing in the house, but it was important to look smart today, and since no one was around . . .
She put the mirror down on the rickety table by the bed, stood in the middle of the threadbare rug, shut her eyes, and said: "See me."
And away on the hills something, a thing with no body and no mind but a terrible hunger and a bottomless fear, felt the power.
It would have sniffed the air if it had a nose.
It searched.
It found.
Such a strange mind, like a lot of minds inside one another, getting smaller and smaller! So strong! So close!
It changed direction slightly and went a little faster. As it moved, it made a noise like a swarm of flies.
The sheep, nervous for a moment about something they couldn't see or smell, baa'd . . .
. . . and went back to chewing grass.
Tiffany opened her eyes. There she was, a few feet away from herself. She could see the back of her own head.
Carefully, she moved around the room, not looking down at the "her" that was moving, because she found that if she did that, then the trick was over. It was quite difficult, moving like that, but at last she was in front of herself and looking herself up and down.
Brown hair to match brown eyes . . . well, there was nothing she could do about that. At least her hair was clean and she'd washed her face.
She had a new dress on, which improved things a bit. It was so unusual to buy new clothes in the Aching family that, of course, it was bought big so that she'd "grow into it." But at least it was pale green, and it didn't actually touch the floor. With the shiny new boots and the straw hat she looked . . . like a farmer's daughter, quite respectable, going off to her first job. It'd have to do.
From here she could see the pointy hat on her head, but she had to look hard for it. It was like a glint in the air, gone as soon as you saw it. That's why she'd been worried about the new straw hat, but it had simply gone through the pointy hat as if it wasn't there.
This was because, in a way, it wasn't. It was invisible, except in the rain. Sun and wind went straight through, but rain and snow somehow saw it, and treated it as if it was real.
She'd been given it by the greatest witch in the world, a real witch with a black dress and a black hat and eyes that could go through you like turpentine goes through a sick sheep. It had been a kind of reward. Tiffany had done magic, serious magic. Before she had done it she hadn't known that she could, when she had been doing it she hadn't known that she was, and after she had done it she hadn't known how she had. Now she had to learn how.
"See me not," she said. The vision of her -- or whatever it was, because she was not exactly sure about this trick -- vanished.
It had been a shock, the first time she'd done this. But she'd always found it easy to see herself, at least in her head. All her memories were like little pictures of herself doing things or watching things, rather than the view from the two holes in the front of her head. There was a part of her that was always watching her.
Miss Tick -- another witch, but one who was easier to talk to than the witch who'd given Tiffany the hat -- had said that a witch had to know how to "stand apart," and that she'd find out more when her talent grew, so Tiffany supposed the "see me" was part of this.
Sometimes Tiffany thought she ought to talk to Miss Tick about "see me." It felt as if she was stepping out of her body but still had a sort of ghost body that could walk around. It all worked as long as her ghost eyes didn't look down and see that she was just a ghost body. If that happened, some part of her panicked and she found herself back in her solid body immediately. Tiffany had, in the end, decided to keep this to herself. You didn't have to tell a teacher everything. Anyway, it was a good trick for when you didn't have a mirror.A Hat Full of Sky.

I have bought some of his books and got them from the library so i have read the whole tiffany aching series and the whole discworld series so trust me you want this book
A very fun read. This second in the Tiffany Aching series is even better that the first.
When my family goes on roadtrips, we always grab a book and I will read out loud for the duration of the trip. It's a great way to keep everyone entertained and my father awake to drive. We just finished the Tiffany Aching series. It was an instant favorite. There were several times when I worried for my life because my dad was laughing so hard! The characters are incredibly likeable, the plot is so easy to follow, and it's filled with little gems of wisdom (like, just because you have no teeth doesn't mean you're wise, it just means you've been stupid for a very long time). These are books that will have you coming back again and again, chuckling every time.
I enjoy most of Terry Pratchett's novels, but especially like his Tiffany Aching series; she's a believable and practical 13 year old who just happens to be training as a witch. I presume this series is aimed at younger readers, but it's very entertaining for adults. I love his small blue men, the Nac McFeegles. Terry Pratchett's witches may use magic, but they're more about using psychology than waving wands.
When young Tiffany Aching goes off to be apprenticed as a witch-in-training, at first no one but Miss Tick seems to expect much of her. Certainly becoming the Witch of the Chalk shouldn't prove to be so--so mundane! But no one is at yet aware of Tiffany's ability to step outside herself, a rare and powerful magic skill. And that ability draws after her an arcane being who seeks to fill itself up at the cost of all it has fastened upon. Now it is up to Tiffany and Granny Weatherwax, with the help of the Nac Mac Feegles, to contain this Hiver, as it is called, and to find a way to protect the Diskworld and its inhabitants from it for the future. Hilarious and thought-provoking, this is all we have come to expect from Terry Pratchett, a marvelous writer! An excellent introduction to the Diskworld for anyone!
Eleven-year-old Tiffany Aching leaves the Chalk and her friends, the six-inch Nac Mac Feegle, to apprentice as a witch in training to a professional. Saying goodbye to Granny Aching was hard and departing from her Wee Free Men pals (at least her buddies when the Nac Mac Feegle are not drunk) is not easy, but service at her advanced age is expected. So though her parents are fooled as to whom she will work for, Tiffany leaves with Miss Tick to begin her training. Unlike when she was young and immature, Tiffany as she enters adolescence has become aware of her looks. This attentiveness to her outer beauty makes her prone to attack from terrible beings. The hiver, a being that seeks out the potentially powerful by stealing control of the host¿s mind until the victim dies, sees Tiffany as a perfect lodging locale. The parasite begins the pre-occupation and occupation with only Nac Mac Feegle to try to rescue his young pal. As he did with the way out THE WEE FREE MEN, Terry Pratchett does again with the sequel that is as sharp a satire as a reader will find. The story line makes it clear that to find one¿s full self, one must accept flaws, blemishes, and foibles; not an easy task in a youthful beauty is best society. Tiffany and Nac Mac are terrific characters though they be inane at times and the hiver is as vile a villain as there is. A HAT FULL OF SKY is amusing, but though nutty, the plot never loses sight of the key underlying message while entertaining the author¿s vast universe of fans. Harriet Klausner
Thanks for Terry Prachett
This is the second book in a new Discworld story stream which now encompasses four books. Set in The Chalk, an area between the Sto Plains and Lancre (where the witches live), the story concerns a young farmer's daughter who is a whiz at cheese-making (they raise sheep and cows). Her grandmother was the most renowned shepherd anywhere on the Chalk, and Tiffany Aching appears to have inherited many of her grandmother's abilities, including what we would call the paranormal ones. In this book, Tiffany goes to work for/learn from a witch in Lancre as part of her training, but something nasty has followed her. The Nac Mac Feegle, or Wee Free Men, who watch over Tiffany, follow also to help her fight off the something nasty. It's always fun to enter another world, one with different rules, particularly if there are little blue men shouting "Crivens!" to look forward to. And if the leader of these little men is called Rob Anybody, that's just extra.
Loved it
Awesome book
Funny , kept me wanting to read more! Worth a read
This book is kinda wierd. I mean when I started it I didn't understand what it was about. But I still give a thumbs up! :)
Hilariously written. Terry paratchett is and amazing writer

Benedict Cumberbatch 'intrigued' by the 1960s
Benedict Cumberbatch is "intrigued" by the psychedelic '60s.
The 40-year-old actor stars as the titular character in Marvel's upcoming 'Doctor Strange' movie - the comic which was conceived during a time when creator Stan Lee was obsessed with cosmology and incantations - and has said he took on the role because the "spiritualism" of that era interested him.
He said: "I was intrigued by all of this. The experimental drugs, cults, psychedelics, spiritualism. Back then, people used those ideas to explore stuff they didn't understand. It was a form of bargaining. Now, we know a lot more."
And this isn't the first time the 'Sherlock' star has delved into something a little more "hippy", as he previously spent a year teaching at a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in Nepal - until he and his friends got lost in the mountains during a hiking trip.
He said: "I used to teach English to monks in the morning. We drank rainwater squeezed out of moss, we got altitude sickness, I had dysentery."
But roles such as 'Doctor Strange' are perfect for the star - who now has 16-month-old son Christopher with his wife Sophie Hunter - as he says he isn't "rational at all", and is constantly trying to "understand things in the universe."
He explained: "I'm not rational at all. I hit walls trying to understand things in the universe. Things on a molecular level, or circadian rhythms. Those are fascinating, they're hard-wired into us. Every form of life has a circadian rhythm, from a cellular fungus to a human, to regulate our body clock. I think there's spirituality in science, there's wonder in logic, and the world just gets bizarre the more you think about it."
'The Imitation Game' actor also claims doing a superhero movie wasn't something he thought he'd ever do.
He told ShortList magazine: "It wasn't on my bucket list. But I was into superhero comics when I was younger - I liked Tim Burton's 'Batman'. I had the posters on my wall. In the playground we'd listen to the Prince soundtrack and do imitations of Jack Nicholson."

Tim McCarver
Jump to
Tim McCarver may have worn the Cardinals' red to the 1966 and 1967 MLB All-Star Games as a hot-hitting catcher, but chances are, you know his voice before recognizing his face, bat or glove. The Ford C. Frick Award winner began his broadcasting career while still playing Major League Baseball in the '70s, and has seen his fair share of nationally televised sporting events, including 22 World Series - more than any other broadcaster in history. But although the former MLB All-Star knows his way around both the broadcasting booth and the baseball diamond, he always managed to draw his fair share of criticism from players and fans alike, at times drawing ire from his employers and fellow broadcasters in the industry. But following his final MLB season in 2013, no one can deny the impact McCarver had on baseball and sportscasting. Love him or hate him, he made an indelible mark on American sports for the better half of a century.

I enjoy many physical activities such as long distance cycling (I'm slowly building up from 40km to longer distances), I've just finished cycling the whole winter, as well as deep woods camping and canoeing which are definitely things I'd like to share with more people.
Lending an ear to people who need to talk to someone, I might not always have the perfect word to say but I try my best at comforting people and helping them anyway I can.
Random styles of music here and there I like some songs from pretty much all genres, though 90s is a secret pleasure of mine (Aqua, Prozzak, etc).
I'm not too picky about food except for non-fish seafood, bit of an aversion to it. Boun's Restaurant in St-Boniface has to be one of my favourite places to go eat.
-Concepts to learn, I am hungry for knowledge! Or books.
-Things to do, idle hands are bored hands.
-The internet/phone, or other means of communication.
-A rival or someone to annoy me just enough so I constantly feel challenged.
-My bike to ride around would be good too.
- Would like to go out for coffee sometime
- Going biking or camping interests you, I know some very nice places!

Nah. Barca didn't get robbed. it was a 50/50 call at best. Dude dove like a pro swimmer and took full advantage of it. Maybe if he didnt exaggerate so much, it would have been a penalty. The ref was sick of all the diving from earlier. #boywhocriedwolf. the second ronaldo subbed in, barca was shut down completely. messi disappearing in big games as of late.Napoleon, did you hear about Arsenal being potentially purchased by Middle East investors? Lol we might have the next PSG on our hands...well, Barcelona got robbed of that penalty in stoppage.LOL @ BARCELONA
Arsenal need to win tomorrow or they can kiss Champs league goodbye next year.
although, in their defense, their head coach is dying and they have a video boy doing the coaching...shame. real is looking unstoppable at the moment. should be a good match vs ManU.

As darkness covered the earth Dave saw the lights of Miami International appear in the distance. His Dad was fast asleep so Dave let him sleep. Jesse's pilot came on the intercom and said to fasten their seat belts because he was beginning his descent. Dave got the briefcase full of fresh Cuban cigars ready for customs. It's customary to call them and confess to having a surplus of cigars that's a bit over the limit and ask if they would please send a customs officer out to the airplane to confiscate them (wink, wink)-so we can be within the legal limit.
Soon after landing his Dad woke up and rubbed his eyes.
"We are in Miami," said Dave, "I already booked us a room for the night. I called Mom too and she's getting concerned that nobody is there to help her if a hurricane hits. She said that Aura called and asked if she could spend some time with her on "Dream Weaver," before school starts? The big shark has eaten several more fishermen since we left and the whole island fears they will be next? They want Shark Boy to kill the devilfish. Other shark hunters went after it, but they never returned. The West Indians believe only Shark Boy's "Mojo" is powerful enough to kill this man-eater.
"I see," said the Captain, "If your mother needs you schedule a flight home tomorrow. I always loved your mother—still do, but there's only room for one captain on a boat and after she earned her captain's license she started second guessing me."
"I know," commented Dave, "I was there, remember and she always says the same thing about you, she still loves you and it's too bad the two of you can't bury the hatchet."
"Maybe we should," commented the Captain, "I never say never, but for now living on separate boats is probably best for everybody concerned. I will have all the help I need rigging the new mast on the Flying Circus and your mother has first priority. Besides, if you fly home tomorrow it will take Carman out of the picture. She's madly in love with you and if you fly home tomorrow there's no chance she can hunt you down at the Key West Marina. As for Aura, if she asks if you've been with any other women, I would suggest that you never-ever admit it. Women never forget that sort of thing and if a man needs to clear his conscious, he should do it with a Minister, Priest, Rabi, or Spiritual Advisor, but never with the woman he loves."
"We talked about this shark dilemma before," said Dave, "and although I thought it was resolved in my mind, it's clear that everybody else on the island is not of the same opinion as us. Jesse has cast his lot with the islanders who want the shark dead, but he has ulterior motives. He wants that Shark's skeleton for his new museum, such a specimen will pack in the tourists and every time a cruise ship docks at St. Thomas his museum will cut a fat pig in the butt."
"If that shark is as big as we think it is," exclaimed the captain, "He'll need a bigger museum to accommodate it than what he has on the drawing board. I know the whole island is expecting you to provide them with a silver bullet solution, but don't be too hasty to say yes. I would suggest that you first conduct a study and tag the beast to observe its habits and get the DNR involved—that will buy even more time."
"Pop, I have a plan. It's not safe to hunt that shark from a boat, but if I camped out on the high ground between Henley Key and Lovango I might be able to hit him with an air gun and tag it when it passes thru the shallows. His dorsal fin will be exposed and I can tag it with a tracking device without putting myself in harms way. Then we can use a satellite to track it, learn its habits and the DNR should be able to help me with that—it's right up their alley. We can put a bell on the cat, and whenever it gets close enough to be a threat we can radio a shark alert. If my suspicions are correct that shark lives in the Puerto Rican Trench.
Banana Republic dictators have dumped so many leftist bodies out there that this shark has developed an insatiable taste for human flesh," said Dave. "Whenever it hears the sound of a military transport it's like ringing a dinner bell. I have mixed emotions about this shark because it tried to get me three different times—I know it's a killer and if its not exterminated it will continue to eat people. Normally, I saw its dorsal fin before it attacked, but not always. The first time, I had him hooked on a circle hook and he pulled the dingy and me over 10 miles without ever showing himself. I never saw his dorsal fin until he was under me. He tried to flip me over, but the dingy rose up on its humongous back and the prop cut a chunk out of its dorsal fin. The other times he attacked, I spotted its dorsal fin first and the scar from the prop and that's how I knew it was the same shark. There must be a breeding population down in the trench that doesn't attack humans, but this shark is different it habitually stalks and eats people. Hopefully, if I kill it, others of its kind can still propagate the species."
"Don't be too quick to say yes to the majority," cautioned the Captain. "They are not always right, especially when they're caught up in an emotional issue, but you're approaching the problem with a clear mind and logic. You can always change a no to a yes, but it's not so easy to change a yes to a no. Take your time no matter the pressure because once you kill that shark that can't be undone."
Dave's cell phone rang and it was big Jesse.
"Dave my boy," said Jesse, "I wanted to tell you that the sheriff called and said the businessmen on St. John, St. Thomas and the other islands are posting a big reward for the person who kills that monster—If word gets out about this man eater it could ruin the tourist business. I know you're the man for the job, but I thought I'd let you tell the sheriff yourself."
"I talked to Mom a little bit ago," said Dave, "I'm flying home tomorrow, but please, let me think about it."
"Well," said Jesse, "I want you to know that you can use my other boat for as long as you need it and the harpoons with the exploding heads should be arriving any day. We had to jump thru several federal hoops to transport explosives, but it's a done deal they'll be there any day. I don't know what your plan is, but whatever it is, we must recover that carcass—whatever you do, don't let it sink. I bought a new California boat for this season, its all carbon fiber with 3,000 butt-kicking horse power and a top speed of 200 miles per hour, what do you think about that?"
"I think that's faster than any boat in the islands," remarked Dave, "Including the DEA, Coast Guard and Homeland Security's chase boats. I wonder how long it will take before they get enough money in their budgets to buy a boat that can keep up with yours?" To be continued…

CCTV China
February 2, 2011 by staff
Cctv China, What are some good rules for a drinking game CCTV Spring Gala do you? Here's an idea – every time a minority comes to the screen? How China 55 will be represented in the next three hours? (AFP) – For hundreds of millions of Chinese Lunar New Year is the time to take the road, rail and air to share food and celebrate with their parents.
But as growing Chinese diaspora spreads throughout the world, many find it impossible to return home for the year of the rabbit from Thursday – thanks to the Internet, a family reunion is always possible.
"I'm having a live video chat on QQ with my parents in the morning on New Year's Eve, Paris time," said Liu Shiqi, a Chinese student, the economy in the French capital that recognizes the strong tug of nostalgia this time.
Like tens of thousands of overseas Chinese students in France, Europe and the rest of the world, Liu will not go home for the holidays. Too far, too expensive.
Thus, it provides an online meeting with his family to celebrate the year of the rabbit, the symbol of mercy, elegance and the cult of beauty.
Liu will not be alone. QQ, a Chinese version of MSN Messenger from Microsoft last year notched up more than 500 million active users.
Most of them are Chinese, not just the young enthusiasts of the Internet. Parents have also learned to use in order to maintain contact with their children abroad.
The software is free and has a video function that can be activated with integrated or add-on cameras, expensive international calls made essentially obsolete.
Another option is the China-based social site Douban, which began as a site to examine the books.
Douban today has more than 48 million registered users, who visit and contribute to forums about 210,000 people who share a hobby or living in the same city.
A forum, "Paris", is widely used by Chinese expatriates live in the French capital. He has mailed invitations to celebrate New Year's Eve, in Paris on Wednesday a restaurant called Sichuan Delicious.
Facebook and Twitter are not easily accessible in Mainland China, but entrepreneurs have developed in our equivalents.
On the first page of RenRen ("Everybody"), a knockoff of Facebook, users can offer new wishes for the New Year, or click through a new application called "Rabbit Lady Party," a line that any person having an account can play in real time.
"I use every day RenRen to post updates on how my life is going on and check my friends," Xu Huang, another student in Paris, told AFP. "I'll keep in touch with them through RenRen during the new year."
SMS traffic bursts also during the Chinese New Year. Last year, Chinese mobile phone users have fired off more than 18 billion messages during the holidays, as the country's top three telecom.
New Year's Eve alone, Shanghai and Beijing each accumulated 700 million letters.
For 2011, microblog Sina.com, a Chinese version of Twitter that has exceeded 50 million users, offers "red pocket money" – a traditional gift envelope from parents to children – for people who are parents to sign Service New Year's Day.
Instead of money through, they include a rabbit in solid gold worth 5,000 yuan (550 euros, 758 dollars) and a mobile phone.
The Year of the Rabbit begins February 3rd and ends January 22, 2012. The rabbit is the fourth sign of 12 animal signs in the Chinese zodiac.
People born in the Year of the Rabbit are said to enjoy the company of friends. They are good teachers, counselors and communicators, but also need their own space.
Famous West "rabbits" include: Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, Johnny Depp, Frank Sinatra, Cary Grant, George Orwell, Angelina Jolie, David Beckham, Kate Winslet and Tina Turner.

The invention relates to text processing, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for creating fonts that are customized such that they have an improved appearance. Often such fonts are used in the production of "handwriting fonts," such as cursive scripts, that are intended to have natural, realistic appearances.
Word processing software typically implements an array of fonts that can be applied by the user to selected text. Each font gives the text a distinctive appearance. However, most fonts are fundamentally merely variants of the basic Courier font used since the advent of typewriters. Accordingly, such fonts are readily recognizable as word processing fonts. Recipients of materials prepared with those fonts typically appreciate that the materials were produced with a word processor or similar equipment.
On the other hand, some fonts have a scripted or printed style akin to handwriting. Such "handwriting fonts" attempt to imbue the printed text with the appearance of being handwritten. Many handwriting fonts fail to achieve this objective because the text still has, among other things, a rigid, linear and perfectly uniform appearance. Each of those attributes detracts from the naturalness and realism of the simulated handwriting.
Accordingly, methods have been developed to improve the appearance of handwriting fonts by making them aberrant, nonlinear or non-uniform in some respect. One method accepts as input an array of script characters, either from a handwriting sample or a programmer-developed font array. The leading and trailing ligatures of each character are examined, and the characters are grouped by ligature type: null, lower, upper, or diagonal. Appearance values are assigned to each ligature in a group, and an average ligature appearance value is determined. The ligatures in each class are reconfigured to have the corresponding average ligature appearance. Glyphs from a person's actual handwriting can thus be joined together to form character strings.
Other methods attempt to create handwriting that appears natural by developing a set of curved connectors for a given set of cursive characters. Each character includes a letter and an associated space. The characters in a text string are thus separated by spaces. Connectors are developed to bridge each combination and permutation of characters. The font is created by inserting the appropriate connectors between the cursive letters.
Still other techniques involve databases or "dictionaries" of handwritten character strings and letters. Character strings in a document are compared to the database and, where a combinational match is found, the dictionary string is substituted for the string in the document. Remaining letters are replaced with the handwritten letters in the dictionary. Connections between the individual letters and dictionary strings are created by application of curve fitting algorithms. Such algorithms extrapolate a "best fit" curve to connect adjacent characters based on each ligature's vector.
An improvement upon the foregoing methods is disclosed in co-pending U.S. application Ser. No. 09/342,858, entitled "Method of Producing Natural Handwriting," filed Jun. 29, 1999, which is incorporated herein by reference. According to the described techniques, a baseline is established for each line of text, and positions each word or character of the line of text at a particular position with respect to the baseline for the line containing the word. A word or character may be positioned on, above, or below the baseline, for instance, by inserting an advance code in the text document before the word or character. The resulting character strings thus undulate above and below the horizontal baseline, as real handwriting. The artificial linearity of previous handwriting fonts is accordingly avoided.
The invention is directed to a system, method, and computer-readable medium for creating context-sensitive fonts. In the preferred embodiments, a computer program product identifies a character string and converts each character to a different font based on the attributes of the adjacent characters. In one particular embodiment, a computer program product contains instructions to identify a character string including upper case, lower case, and/or symbolic characters; identify the first character in the string; identify a plurality of handwritten glyphs corresponding to the character; select one of the glyphs based upon an adjacent character in the string; and repeat the foregoing steps, thereby converting the character string.
In certain embodiments, different handwritten glyphs can be associated with each character so that each occurrence of a character is mapped randomly to one of the associated glyphs. The program can also be configured to ensure that two adjacent identical characters are mapped to a different one of the associated glyphs.
In an additional embodiment, adjacent upper case characters can be mapped to printed upper case glyphs (rather than script upper case glyphs) to more accurately simulate how acronyms and the like are typically written.
In a further embodiment, symbols can be mapped based on the character preceding and/or succeeding the symbol. For example, a single quote can be mapped to an opening quote if there is a space preceding it, to an apostrophe where there is no space preceding or succeeding, and to a closed quote where there is no space preceding but a space succeeding.
Various embodiments of the invention can be implemented to realize one or more of the following advantages. Certain embodiments permit the mapping of characters in context-sensitive manner, which in turn creates adaptable fonts that customize themselves based on the particular usage. The invention can also be advantageously employed to create handwriting fonts having a realistic, non-uniform appearance. The invention can also be advantageously implemented to create handwriting fonts that include an increased degree of intra-word font variation, thereby giving the font an even more natural appearance. Many embodiments can obviate the need to incorporate other handwriting simulation protocols such as appearance averaging of ligatures or curve fitting algorithms. Certain embodiments require significantly less processing time than alternate methodologies, including in particular curve-fitting algorithms. Many embodiments can be freely combined where desired with complementary protocols, such as the variable baseline techniques, appearance averaging methods or curve-fitting algorithms, to create a handwriting font having an optimally realistic appearance.
The details of one or more embodiments of the present invention are set forth in the accompanying drawings and the description below. Other features and advantages of the present invention will be apparent from the description and drawings, and from the claims.
Like reference symbols in the various drawings indicate like elements.
Referring now to the drawings, and first to
In the preferred embodiment, the method of the present invention is implemented in a personal computer environment. A document is created with a word processing system, such as WordPerfect™ or Microsoft Word™. The method of the present invention uses a combination of a database, such as Microsoft Access™, a word processor, such as Microsoft Word™ formatted with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming, and a custom-designed dynamic linked library (DLL) for converting text to handwriting. In the preferred embodiment, handwriting conversion is preferably provided by SigSoft Handwriter™, which is available from Signature software, Inc., Hood River, Oreg., and disclosed in Fenwick, U.S. Pat. No. 5,412,771, which is incorporated herein by reference.
According to the present invention, text is stored in a document, and font information is stored in a conversion table. The method of the present invention is preferably run from within the word processing application. Visual Basic for Applications in the word processing application connects to the database table using data access objects to apply the formatting information to a particular document.
The fonts set forth in table 104 can be derived from a handwritten sample, specified by a user, or randomly generated by an appropriate algorithm. Preferably, the table 104 includes glyphs, or handwritten characters, derived from a person's actual handwriting. The table associates the characters with various upper case and lower case glyphs and also with glyphs corresponding to symbols such as single and double quotation marks. In a preferred embodiment, each Arabic character, such as "A," "B," "C," etc., is associated with an upper case script glyph, an upper case printed glyph, a leading lower case glyph with a leading ligature (where the origin handwriting sample has a leading ligature), and three middle lower case glyphs without leading ligatures. In fonts composed of 256 characters, the foregoing arrangement can omit six characters from one of the three lower case glyph sets. The single quote character is associated with an open quote glyph, a closed quote glyph, and an apostrophe glyph. The double quote character is associated with an open quote glyph, a closed quote glyph.
Steps 202–228 of
When the conversion application is called, the conversion table 104 is loaded and suitable variables are initialized for the association of each character in the user-input string to a plurality of corresponding glyphs (204). For example, in a preferred embodiment, each Arabic character is associated with a library of six different glyphs, two upper case and four lower case. However, a larger number of glyphs may be associated with each character to provide any desired degree of variability and realism. Naturally the size and complexity of the conversion table 104 and the associated variable initializations increase as more glyphs are associated with each character. Moreover, the table 104 need not contain glyphs associated with every character. In a preferred embodiment, symbols other than quotation marks are not provided with associated glyphs. Rather, such characters are not remapped, as is explained further below.
A first text string is input into the conversion application (206) and the program identifies the first character in the string (208). The program returns to step 206 upon completing the remapping of a string and to step 208 upon completion of the mapping of a character, as will be described in more detail hereinbelow.
It is determined whether the character corresponds to a quotation mark (210). If it does, the program enters a subroutine that determines whether the character is a single or double quotation mark and whether spaces or characters preceded and follow the quotation mark (212). If the character is a single quotation mark preceded by a space, the character is mapped to an open quotation mark. If the character is a single quotation mark preceded by a character and followed by a space, the character is mapped to a closed quotation glyph. If the character is a single quotation mark preceded by a character and followed by a character, the character is mapped to an apostrophe or an apostrophe glyph. Assuming the character is a quotation mark, the remapped character is written to a temporary string and the program returns to step 208.
Otherwise, the program determines whether the character is upper case (214). If so, the characters preceding and following the character are also identified (216). If either is an upper case character, the adjacent upper case characters are remapped to the upper case printed glyph to simulate how acronyms and the like are typically handwritten. Otherwise, the upper case character is mapped to the upper case script glyph. In either event, the appropriate glyph is added to the temporary string and the program returns to step 208. If the character was not an upper case character the program proceeds to step 218.
In step 218, the program determines whether the character is lower case (218). In a preferred embodiment, symbols are not classified as lower case characters. If the character is lower case, the program then determines the preceding character. If the preceding character is a space, the character is mapped to the lower case glyph with leading ligature. If the preceding character is not a space, the character is mapped randomly to one of the three remaining lower case glyphs (i.e. those without leading ligatures). The subroutine then checks whether the preceding character happens to be the same character mapped to the same lower case glyph. If that is the case, the random assignment protocol is repeated and rechecked until the glyphs of the adjacent characters do not match. Here again, the remapped lower case character is added to the temporary string and the program returns to step 208.
If the character is a symbol other than a quotation mark, none of the foregoing subroutines (210, 214, 218) would have been triggered. Rather, the symbol "passes through" the conversion function. The program then returns to step 208 if there are any more characters remaining in the string.
When the end of the string is reached, the input string can be overwritten with the temporary string containing the remapped characters or the temporary string can be maintained (224). Either can be returned to the word processing program at this point. Alternately, the string can be held so that other remapped strings can be appended.
In a preferred embodiment, the conversion function is called upon the entry of a hard return. In such an embodiment, there are typically numerous strings of text comprising a paragraph that must be converted before the set of strings is returned to the word processing program. Accordingly, the protocol can advantageously determine whether the other strings have been input to the conversion function. As shown in step 226, the program returns to step 206 if further strings are ready for conversion. The procedures of steps 208–224 are repeated until all input strings have been converted.
At that point, the conversion function is complete and the remapped strings are returned to the word processing program. The word processor can then display the remapped strings, print them, or provide them to another function or program.
In the preferred embodiments, the connections between the glyphs are formed by contact of adjacent ligatures. The ligatures of the lower case glyphs and upper case script glyphs are customized by a programmer or by a suitable algorithm to end at the same point, as is known in the art. Optionally, connections can be made with connector libraries, curve-fitting algorithms, ligature appearance averaging techniques, or other techniques known in the art.
The embodiments described in detail above relate primarily to font mapping that is sensitive to adjacent character type (i.e., 1, 2, 3, . . . , a, b, c, . . . ); however, the techniques of this invention can be readily implemented to be sensitive to the font, font size, or other measurable attribute of adjacent characters. For instance, the program could be easily modified to determine the presence or absence of larger or smaller font sizes, and to map to certain glyph sets for each class of adjacent font sizes. Similarly, font types could likewise be used to trigger and control remapping operations.
Naturally, the technique of this invention need not be used in connection with handwritten glyphs. Rather, fonts of any desired configuration could be mapped to a character string based on the attributes of adjacent character strings. As an example the protocol of this invention could be used to vary the height or size of each character so that it deviates from the characters adjacent to it.
Moreover, there is no requirement that only immediately adjacent characters be observed in selecting the font to which a character is to be mapped. At the cost of additional processing time, the program can be modified to look for glyph similarities or other format parameters within any desired distance of the character being remapped.
The preferred embodiments have been described in the context of "mapping" or "remapping." However, it is not necessary that the method of the invention be implemented in connection with an operation conventionally understood as "mapping." Rather, the technique is useful for any generation, assignment or determination of fonts based on the attributes of proximate characters and the like.
As mentioned above, the techniques taught herein can be readily combined with other conversion and formatting systems. Variable baseline techniques, connector library techniques, curve fitting algorithm techniques, and library string techniques, by way of example, can be advantageously combined with the context-sensitive font generation disclosed herein to obtain an optimally realistic handwriting font. Whether or not the present invention is used with handwriting fonts, it can be advantageously implemented with conversion functions that modified other paragraph parameters, such as compression and expansion of spaces, justification, line spacing, and the like.
The invention can be implemented in digital electronic circuitry, or in computer hardware, firmware, software, or in combinations of them. Apparatus of the invention can be implemented in a computer program product tangibly embodied in a machine-readable storage device for execution by a programmable processor; and method steps of the invention can be performed by a programmable processor executing a program of instructions to perform functions of the invention by operating on input data and generating output. The invention can be implemented advantageously in one or more computer programs that are executable on a programmable system including at least one programmable processor coupled to receive data and instructions from, and to transmit data and instructions to, a data storage system, at least one input device, and at least one output device. Each computer program can be implemented in a high-level procedural or object-oriented programming language, or in assembly or machine language if desired; and in any case, the language can be a compiled or interpreted language. Suitable processors include, by way of example, both general and special purpose microprocessors. Generally, a processor will receive instructions and data from a read-only memory and/or a random access memory. Generally, a computer will include one or more mass storage devices for storing data files; such devices include magnetic disks, such as internal hard disks and removable disks; magneto-optical disks; and optical disks. Storage devices suitable for tangibly embodying computer program instructions and data include all forms of non-volatile memory, including by way of example semiconductor memory devices, such as EPROM, EEPROM, and flash memory devices; magnetic disks such as internal hard disks and removable disks; magneto-optical disks; and CD-ROM disks. Any of the foregoing can be supplemented by, or incorporated in, ASICs (application-specific integrated circuits).
A number of embodiments of the present invention have been described. Nevertheless, it will be understood that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Accordingly, other embodiments are within the scope of the following claims.

Kakita's Breath (CB8) was a village in the Midakai province, [1] named during a time when the Crab Clan were hostile towards the Crane. [2]
Foul Stench Edit
On the edge of the village there was a salt marsh, and the reek alone kept most samurai far from the humble husk constituting a village. The peasants who lived here made their living either working metals or stone brought from Midaki sano Mura, which gave them a reputation as excellent stonemasons and metalworkers. Unsurprisingly there were few visitors to this village. [2] [3]

|Re: How to access WebService implementation from Context?
|Tue, 02 May 2006 11:08:01 GMT
If you mean WebService ala SOAP - you are probably out of luck without a lot of work. If you mean webservice as a webpage which does stuff that is intended to be called by an application - there might be hope. If the ENTIRE webapp is considered the webservice, you can run the Valve at the Context level and the valve will run for all requests. Otherwise you'll need to inspect the request to see if it will be mapped to your webservice. Of course with SOAP - you may need to inspect some of the POST content to determine this - so you'd have to get the content of post data in a non-destructive manner. -Tim Andrew McDowall wrote: > Hi, > > I have a WebService that implements a specific interface (Registerable), > and a Valve who's actions depend upon whether the WebService dealing > with a given request implements this Registerable interface.

When is a baby's fever high enough for me to call the doctor?
Our doctor told us 100.4 and call, right away!
What did your doctor tell you?
He said anytime a fever spikes in a little guy or gal under 2, it's serious.
We tend to run lower temperatures, so I would probably call over 99', if I couldn't manage it immediately. But I never have dealt with a fever or thought to ask my doctor, so good to know!
i tend to control it the 1st time is 100.9 with cool bath, motrin, and vicks under the foot cover with socks, but after 3 hrs is not down i call the doctor's office and let them know what i did and if there is any appt. available right there.
I want to say it was 100 with us as well. It's been awhile since I had a little one that young.

Today, Sony released the latest firmware, Version 1.1, for the PMW-F3 camera. It includes several features that really improve the camera overall. They also released the CBK-RGB01 upgrade key (S-Log upgrade), which enhances the camera's imaging options. Sony let us check out the new firmware a bit early. Here is my report of the improvements made to the camera with the free upgrade.
Simultaneous Live HD-SDI and HDMI Ouptut – This is very important for anyone wanting to use an external viewfinder like a Zacuto ZEVF or Cineroid. It works in all video formats, as well as in 23.98 when 2-3 pull down (59.94i) is enabled in the menus. If you're worried about getting a clean 23.98 PsF output, then read the next section.
Live Dual Link Output in 444 & 422 – The A & B connectors have been enabled, so you can use them when working in Dual Link (with the RGB upgrade) or in regular 422. This means you have two additional clean outputs all the time, perfect for connecting an external recorder. When shooting in 23.98, these outputs will give you 23.98 PsF even if you have pull-down enabled on the other HD-SDI output. (Note: When Dual Link output is enabled, the HDMI output is turned off.)
Planning Metadata – Planning Metadata allows you to design a naming convention for the camera before you start shooting. We created a Planning MetaData file generator several years ago for the PDW700 & F800 cameras, which also works with the F3. The idea is that you generate several of these Metadata files ahead of time, load them into the camera through the SxS card, and then choose the appropriate naming convention when needed. I'll release a more in-depth blog on this in the future.
After loading a Planning Metadata file, you can then choose the naming type in the Clip menu:
S&Q Wheel as a Menu Dial – You can now use the S&Q wheel on the side of the camera to move around the menu. This is a great option when the scroll wheel on the back of the camera is hard to reach. Hold the 'cancel' button while pushing in the S&Q wheel to change into this mode.
The CBK-RGB01 option key, which you can now order here, opens up several functions as well. When you purchase the key you are actually buying an SxS card with a special encoded key on it. This will allow you to enable RGB & S-Log on one camera. Once the functions are active you can remove the SxS card from the camera for safety or continue to use it as a standard SxS card. It is possible to move the RGB / S-LOG functions from one camera to another by uninstalling the key from one and re-installing it on another. They are using some serious encryption on the card to prevent multiple installations.
Dual Link or 3G SDI 4:4:4 S-Log output – This is the big feature we tested at NAB that everyone is excited about – it enables S-Log gamma mode output. Giving the camera extra dynamic range, S-Log is perfect for anyone wanting to make the most out of the camera.
Monitor & SxS LUTs – When shooting in S-Log, you can choose to enable a LUT that will record to the SxS cards and also be used for monitoring out of the standard HD-SDI and HDMI outputs. The camera comes loaded with four different LUTs to choose from with different levels of range, or a Custom LUT can be created in the CVP File Editor from Sony. I'm working on a blog that will show how to create and load these LUTs.
WiFi Connectivity - If you get the CBK-RGB01 key and Sony's CBK-WA01 WiFi Adaptor for the camera, you can load the Planning Metadata files over WiFi. Or you can use the same feature to change clip names on the fly.
Read a full list of the additions on Sony's production blog. The free firmware is available to download from Sony, and the S-Log upgrade can be purchased from AbelCine.
Edit: The Sony Service website is currently undergoing maintenance. The expect to be up again by September 6th. Until then, you can download the firmware from AbelCine here.

Careers FAQ's
How Do I Get Into the Funeral Industry?
It is often said that working in the funeral industry is a vocation rather than a job and it is easy to see why. Funeral homes are generally either family businesses or larger organisations with a number of branches. The staff employed need to have a variety of skills and a genuine desire to offer as much help, guidance and assistance as is required by those they are called upon to serve. The funeral industry is by no means an easy career option; however it can be one of the most fulfilling and rewarding of the service careers.
See the CAREERS page of the AFDA Website for more information.

Cannabis grower who represented himself in court accuses garda of "waffling culchie" at him
A man accused of growing cannabis claimed that a garda sergeant was "waffling culchie" at him during a raid on his home.
46-year-old Gerard Stokes also accused gardai of breaking into his house by using a warrant which he said was invalid because of its grammar, reports the Sligo Weekender.
Mr Stokes, who represented himself, conducted a lengthy cross examination on Sergeant Gerry Murphy at Sligo District Court.
The defendant asked the sergeant if he remembered seeing "a red haired girl sprawled across a bed", to which the sergeant replied that the only females in the house were gardai and neither had red hair.
He then put it to the garda that he was accused of cultivating "plants", when only one plant was found.
Following this Stokes questioned the validity of the search warrant and the fact that the gardai, who were wearing uniforms, did not show him photo ID.
Stokes claimed that he had the same criteria for identification as the banks.
"I have to have three types of photo ID", he said.
The defendant then turned his attention directly on sergeant Murphy, who he accused of breaking into his house.
Stokes then told the court that sergeant Murphy was "waffling culchie at me. I don't do culchie. I am from Dublin and I speak loudly and clearly and this man wasn't.
When asked by Judge Kevin Kilrane if he wished to give evidence on oath Stokes said that before he would swear on the bible he and the judge "would have to agree on what was in there."
He also told the judge that "my paperwork says that your paperwork is invalid," claiming that grammatical errors and the use of prefixes and suffixes, invalidated it.
"If you put a prefix on a word it makes it a lie," he claimed.
He also took issue with his name being in block capitals on the summons and search warrant, producing his birth cert, showing it to the court and pointing out that his name was not capitalised on the document.
Sligo District Court heard that sergeant Gerry Murphy had received "confidential information" that Stokes was cultivating cannabis at his home in Cloona, Ennscrone.
The sergeant, accompanied by three other gardai, went to the house on the 23rd of August last year.
Upon entering the house Sgt Murphy said he saw a cannabis plant spilled from its pot, on the kitchen floor.
He said that the defendant admitted that it was his and said that he used it for medical reasons.
The sergeant also said that Stokes had clay and a cannabis leaf in his pocket.
The court heard that various pieces of equipment, including an eco-lamp, irrigation pump, 11 empty pots and an empty bag of fertiliser were found on the premises.
Judge Kilrane convicted Stokes and fined him €300, telling him that he would fix recognisances of €300 cash if he wished to appeal, to which the defendant replied: "Don't worry, I will".
