Lucky number
In number theory, a lucky number is a natural number in a set which is generated by a certain "sieve". This sieve is similar to the Sieve of Eratosthenes that generates the primes, but it eliminates numbers based on their position in the remaining set, instead of their value (or position in the initial set of natural numbers). One way that the application of the procedure differs from that of the Sieve of Eratosthenes is, for "n" being the number being multiplied on a specific pass, the first number eliminated on the pass is the "n"-th remaining number that has not yet been eliminated, as opposed to the number "2n".
Lucky Number Slevin
Lucky Number Slevin, known as The Wrong Man in Australia, is a 2006 crime thriller film directed by Paul McGuigan, written by Jason Smilovic, and starring Josh Hartnett, Bruce Willis, Lucy Liu, Stanley Tucci, Morgan Freeman, and Ben Kingsley. Set in New York City, the plot focuses on the paths of Slevin Kelevra (Hartnett), Lindsey (Liu), two feuding crime lords known as The Boss (Freeman) and The Rabbi (Kingsley), and a mysterious hitman known as Mr. Goodkat (Willis). During the opening credits, two bookies are separately ambushed and murdered by their unseen killers; elsewhere, a young man is killed by a sniper.
Lene Lovich
Lene Lovich (, born March 30, 1949) is an English-American singer, songwriter and musician of Serbian and English descent based in England. She first gained attention in 1979 with the release of her hit single "Lucky Number", which peaked at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart and made her a leading figure of the new wave music scene. Born in Detroit, Michigan, Lovich moved to England at the age of 13, where she met guitarist and songwriter Les Chappell, who later became her long-time music collaborator and life partner. She developed an interest in art and theater, enrolling at the Central School of Art and Design where she took saxophone lessons.
Lucky Number (song)
"Lucky Number" is a song by American recording artist Lene Lovich. Originally released as a B-side for Lovich's cover of "I Think We're Alone Now", the song was re-released on January 26, 1979, by Stiff Records as an A-side and became the lead single of her debut studio album "Stateless" (1978). The song was written by Lovich and Les Chappell, who produced the song. It received very positive reviews from music critics, peaked at number 3 on the UK Singles Chart and became a defining song of the new wave genre. "Lucky Number" was covered by German punk artist Nina Hagen. The German version "Wie Leben Immer... Noch" (""We are living… still"") was released on the album "Unbehagen" (1979).
13 (number)
13 (thirteen ) is the natural number following 12 and preceding 14. In spoken English, the numbers 13 and 30 are often confused. When carefully pronounced, they differ in which syllable is stressed: 13 vs. 30 . However, in dates such as 1300 ("thirteen hundred") or when contrasting numbers in the teens, such as "13, 14, 15," the stress shifts to the first syllable: 13 . Strikingly similar folkloric aspects of the number 13 have been noted in various cultures around the world: one theory is that this is due to the cultures employing lunar-solar calendars (there are approximately 12.41 lunations per solar year, and hence 12 "true months" plus a smaller, and often portentous, thirteenth month).
Haplogroup G (Y-DNA) by country
In human genetics, Haplogroup G (M201) is a Y-chromosome haplogroup None of the sampling done by research studies shown here would qualify as true random sampling, and thus any percentages of haplogroup G provided country by country are only rough approximations of what would be found in the full population. In 46 samples taken in Algeria in a 2008 study, 2% were found to be G. SNP testing was not done, but this one sample was predicted G based on haplotype. When originally tested for SNPs, G was not an available test. In a 2011 study, none of 20 samples from Berber Mozabites in Algeria were G.  In a 2011 study of 577 men in the Comoros Islands off the southeastern African coast, 1.8% were G2a (P15+) and 0.3% were in other unspecified G categories, but none were G1.
Hinds (band)
Hinds are a Spanish indie rock band from Madrid, formed in 2011, consisting of Carlotta Cosials (vocals, guitar), Ana Perrote (vocals, guitar), Ade Martin (bass, backing vocals) and Amber Grimbergen (drums). The original name of the band was Deers, but they changed it at the end of 2014 after a threat of legal action from the similarly named band The Dears. The group chose "Hinds" (female deer) as the new name of the band and officially implemented the name change on 7 January 2015. They have released one album, one compilation LP and four singles. Their second studio album, "I Don't Run" is due for release in April 2018.

Sometimes in the western world people draw a horizontal stroke through the middle of the 7, but you never see that on a keyboard.
This is analogous to the horizontal stroke through the middle that is sometimes used in handwriting in the Western world but which is almost never used in computer fonts.

Wubi method
The Wubizixing input method (), often abbreviated to simply Wubi or Wubi Xing, is a Chinese character input method primarily for inputting simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese text on a computer. Wubi should not be confused with the Wubihua (五笔画) method, which is a different input method that shares the categorization into five stroke types with Wubi. The method is also known as Wang Ma (), named after the inventor Wang Yongmin (王永民). There are three Wubi versions that are considered to be standard: Wubi 86, Wubi 98, Wubi 18030 and Wubi New-century (the 3rd-generation Version). The latter three can also be used to input traditional Chinese text, albeit in a more limited way.
Regional handwriting variation
Although people in many parts of the world share common alphabets and numeral systems (versions of the Latin writing system are used throughout the Americas, Australia, and much of Europe and Africa; the Hindu-Arabic numerals are nearly universal), styles of handwritten letterforms vary between individuals, and sometimes also vary systematically between regions. The handwritten numerals used in Western countries have two common forms:   Aside from these two main forms, other regional variations abound. The numeral 0 — Some writers put a diagonal slash through the numeral 0 (zero), a practice that was used on some early, low-resolution computer terminals which displayed a slashed "zero" glyph to distinguish it from the capital letter "O".
Stroke order
Stroke order (; Yale: "bāt seuhn"; "hitsujun" or "kaki-jun"; "pilsun" or "hoeksun"; Vietnamese: "bút thuận" 筆順) refers to the order in which the strokes of a Chinese character (or Chinese derivative character) are written. A stroke is a movement of a writing instrument on a writing surface. Chinese characters are used in various forms in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and in Vietnamese. They are known as "Hanzi" in (Mandarin) Chinese, "kanji" in Japanese, "Hanja" in Korean, and "Hán tự" in Vietnamese. Stroke order is also attested in other logographic scripts, e.g. cuneiform. Chinese characters are basically logograms constructed with strokes.
ISO/IEC 9995
ISO/IEC 9995 "Information technology — Keyboard layouts for text and office systems" is an ISO standard series defining layout principles for computer keyboards. It does not define specific layouts but provides the base for national and industry standards which define such layouts. The project of this standard was adopted at ISO in Berlin in 1985 under the proposition of Dr Yves Neuville. The ISO/IEC 9995 standard series dates to 1994 and has undergone several updates over the years. The ISO/IEC 9995 standard series currently (as of September 2015) consists of the following parts:  ISO/IEC 9995-1 provides a fundamental description of keyboards suitable for text and office systems, and defines several terms which are used throughout the ISO/IEC 9995 standard series.
Shakespeare's handwriting
William Shakespeare's handwriting is known from six surviving signatures, all of which appear on legal documents. It is also generally believed that three pages of the handwritten manuscript of the play "Sir Thomas More" are in Shakespeare's hand. Shakespeare wrote in the style known as the Secretary hand. It was native and common in England at the time, and was the cursive style taught in schools. It is not the italic script, which was encroaching as an alternate form (and which is more familiar to readers of today). Shakespeare’s handwriting shows a freedom to make variances in style depending on the mood or the composition being written.
7
7 (seven; ) is the natural number following 6 and preceding 8. In the beginning, various Hindus wrote 7 more or less in one stroke as a curve that looks like an uppercase J vertically inverted. The western Ghubar Arabs' main contribution was to make the longer line diagonal rather than straight, though they showed some tendencies to making the character more rectilinear. The eastern Arabs developed the character from a 6 lookalike into an uppercase V lookalike. Both modern Arab forms influenced the European form, a two-stroke character consisting of a horizontal upper line joined at its right to a line going down to the bottom left corner, a line that is slightly curved in some font variants.
Palaeography
Palaeography (UK) or paleography (US; ultimately from , "palaiós", "old", and , "graphein", "to write") is the study of ancient and historical handwriting (that is to say, of the forms and processes of writing, not the textual content of documents). Included in the discipline is the practice of deciphering, reading, and dating historical manuscripts, and the cultural context of writing, including the methods with which writing and books were produced, and the history of scriptoria. The discipline is important for understanding, authenticating, and dating ancient texts. However, it cannot in general be used to pinpoint dates with high precision.
