A typeface is a set of fonts that have a unified design and include letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. It may also contain symbols or consist entirely of symbols. A typeface is sometimes incorrectly used interchangeably with font, but a font refers specifically to a single member of a typeface family like bold or italic, while a typeface designates the overall visual style of a family of related fonts. For example, the Arial typeface includes roman, bold, and italic font styles.

Technology is moving off the desktop and on to the body. While technology already plays an essential role in our daily lives, new wearable technologies have the ability to take the relationship between people and technology even further. These emerging technologies could allow people to interact better with technology and, at the same time, enable more meaningful experiences by extending the reach of interpersonal and machine-to-person communication. The advantages of this new generation of wearables are many, e.g. they are hands-free, always-on, environmentally-aware, constantly connected, and attention-getting, there are also many drawbacks such as the constant urge to check the information the devices are providing. Even more important are the significant concerns regarding data privacy as well as moral, social and ethical issues.
Gt briefing march 2015 upstarts- driving the entrepreneurial economyTracey Keys
Discouraged by high levels of youth unemployment and sluggish economies globally, and looking for a way to make an impact in a job that has meaning for them, increasing numbers of young people are turning to the employer of choice: Myself. With new technologies and social and financial innovations redistributing production, consumption, and knowledge around the world, the barriers to entry for a new business in many industries has never been lower. Want to teach your expertise? There’s a platform for that. Want to create a new product? The 3D printing factory is just around the corner. Want to run your company virtually? There have never been more technologies available to let you do so.

Yintao Song's PhD dissertation focused on energy conversion using phase transformations in multifunctional materials. He studied the NiCoMnSn material in particular, determining its Clausius-Clapeyron relation through calorimetry and magnetometry experiments. This allowed modeling of the material's efficiency in thermodynamic cycles like Rankine and estimating a power output. For practical applications, Song concluded the best device design maximizes the quality factor and achieves a figure of merit approaching unity through an optimal material with a high Clausius-Clapeyron coefficient.
This short document contains three letters - x, y, and z. The letters are arranged with x and z surrounding y in the first line, and y and z surrounding x in the second line. The document switches the positions of x and y between the two lines.
