The Tortoise Diet, Patty Church RN, BSN shares her real-life...
The story of the Tortoise and the Hare was, as you know, about a race. There are certainly a lot of “hare-brained” diets out there which invariably promise “quick and easy” weight loss, usually by means of starvation, deprivation and/or strenuous exercise. The problem with quick weight loss, however, is that it almost never lasts. That's because the "weight" being lost is primarily the loss of water and muscle, rather than the loss of stored body fat.

A font I bought doesn't have a 'j', 'u', 'y' or 'w', or these characters look funny. Why?

Scriptorium Frequently Asked Questions
A lot of our fonts are based on historical calligraphy or antique type designs. In the many historical periods and regions there were no letters for 'j', 'u', or 'w'. These letters are variations of 'i' and 'v' respectively and were developed in the last few hundred years. 'Y' as we have it in English is related to 'g'. The current form is modern in origin, derived from the Greek upsilon to differentiate it from the 'g'.

We even thought about how much Bee-Quick a typical beekeeper would need in a season, and how much everyone dislikes storing things between seasons.
