Type `{b:15,45,80,30,60}` and ligature substitution turns it into a five-bar chart, inline, in the middle of the sentence. `{l:…}` gives a sparkline, `{p:62}` a pie. Because it is a font and not a library, the chart inherits colour, size and weight from whatever it sits inside, and two variable axes tune density and stroke. Frank Tisellano released it under the Open Font License.

One of the few submarines anywhere open to the public: built in Finland in the 1990s, working off Tenerife since 2007, rated to 100 metres and held to 30 with passengers aboard. The route passes shipwrecks and a rock wall thick with life. The local manta rays come to meet it — they have worked out that divers make bubbles worth playing in, and will take a belly rub while they are there.

One of the few submarines anywhere open to the public, working off Tenerife since 2007: *Sub Fun Cinco* seats 44 behind 22 view ports and drops thirty metres into the Atlantic. The route passes two wrecks on the seabed and a rock wall thick with fish, and it settles on the bottom partway through so you can go and photograph the pilots at the controls.
