Rotalic is a rotation applied to a typeface. It is a variation similar to the oblique type and the italic type as the vertical lines of a glyph are inclined, but it differs from these other variations in keeping the original shape of the characters. Therefore, any typeface can have a rotalic version.
The name rotalic is a combination of roman (generally used to refer to normal typefaces) and italic (generally used to refer to slanted ones).
Examples
Usage
The rotalic typeface is mainly used to highlight a text or as a display font. It can fit the same semantic purposes of the italic and oblique typefaces (emphasis, titles, foreign words), though examples of its usage are still rare.
Alternative Representations
Counter-clockwise Rotalic
The rotation is applied in the opposite direction.
Extra Rotalic
A rotalic typeface is usually rotated between 7 and 10 degrees. The Extra Rotalic have rotations from 15 to 20 degrees.
History
The rotalic was introduced as a typeface variation by Filip Tydén in 2007. The first typeface to have a rotalic version was the Helvetica Textbook, which was used in a series of posters at the Royal College of Art in London.

Introduction
SEPS (Situation Effective Protection System) is a self defense system, that recognises solutions to aggressive and violent situations need to be based on certain situational factors e.g. if a person is holding your lapel threatening you, you may choose a particular solution (such as a wristlock defense, an escape etc) however if someone else is holding a knife to your partners/friends throat, you may need to choose a different solution as responding physically may put your partner/friend in danger.
Founders
The system was founded in 2007 by two ex Krav Maga instructors: Gershon Ben Keren and Andy Rallings. Between them they have over 40 years experience in civilian security, martial arts and self-defense systems. Ben-Keren also has an academic background researching violence and aggression. In particular from an ethological perspective.
Basis & Thinking Of The System
One of the basic SEPS premises is that of the Triune Brain. This is a scientific abstraction that suggests we have 3 layers of thinking: a reasoning brain, a mammalian (limbic) brain and a reptilian brain. As a persons emotional state increases so they move closer towards their reptilian brain. SEPS associates 5 possible responses to violence with these brains.
The 5 possible responses to violence are:
* Reason
* Posturing
* Submission
* Fight
* Flight
SEPS suggests (and this is to help in the communication of the idea, rather than as a scientific statement of fact) that the three brains are responsible for these different responses i.e.
* The Reasoning Brain is responsible for responses based on Reason
* The Mammalian/Limbic Brain is responsible for responses that involve Posturing & Submission
* The Reptilian Brain is responsible for Flight & Fight responses
As people become more 'emotional' they move away from reason as a response towards fight or flight.
In dealing with aggressive and violent people, students look to understand how an aggressor is functioning and with, which brain they are using. They then communicate with the person using methods that the particular brains can recognise e.g. you do not try and reason with a very angry person, who may only recognise and/or interpret things as being fight or flight etc.
SEPS basis a lot of it's approach on the findings from studies conducted in the field of ethology and looks to see how certain situations provoke 'hard wired' instinctual responses and how to avoid creating such situations, when the response is one of aggression or violence.
Situational Factors
There are 5 situational factors that SEPS recognises in its methodology:
* Location (Coupled with the idea of territory)
* Aggressor(s) motives
* Aggressor Target/Victim relationship
* Target/Victim's state of mind
* Third Parties with victim/target
This is coupled with 3 assumptions that are made in any aggressive/violent situation:
* The aggressor(s) is at least as skilled in fighting as the target/victim
* The aggressor(s) is armed, even if they are not displaying a weapon
* The aggressor(s) is not alone, even if they appear so
This is the framework in which the system works. It also teaches NDM naturalistic decision making, so that individuals can make effective decisions when in heightened emotional states e.g. when in a state of fear and tactical breathing for working under stress.

In the Public Square is a live call-in talk radio program, podcast and website organization dedicated to intelligent discussion of cultural and political issues from a Christian point of view. The program is moderated by hosts John Snyder and Alexandra Berauer and airs on KTKZ (1380 AM) in Sacramento, California, every Friday night from midnight to 2:00AM. The program is broadcast in a market of nearly 2 million people and reaches an area that includes the greater Sacramento area, Walnut Creek (on the outskirts of San Francisco), Stockton, and Rocklin, California.
Radio programs and weekly podcasts
John Snyder and Alexandra Berauer co-host In the Public Square, and converse on topics ranging from the importance of civility in the public square, to same-sex marriage and the influence of Christianity on the development of democracy. The program provides a unique forum for discussions of culture and history for people who wish to challenge or learn more about a Christian worldview. In the Public Square provides a consistent Christian gloss on political and cultural issues rather than being focused on theology or homiletics.

Host John Snyder often discusses the importance of history and is a dedicated student of the Civil War and American history. He is also a student of law and literature. He holds a Juris Doctor degree from Trinity Law School. John began his career in talk radio at KKLA 99.5FM in Southern California as the host of Apologetics.com. For nearly four years, John co-hosted with Christopher Neiswonger, who now moderates that program. In the Public Square continues to work in concert with Apologetics.com to bring quality discussions to the world of theology and politics.
Guests have included among others, radio talk show host Greg Koukl, Claremont Institute Distinguished Fellow Dr. Harry Jaffa, Professor and philosopher Craig Hawkins, Drs. Fuz Rana and Hugh Ross of Reasons to Believe, Dr. Frank Beckwith, Trinity Law School Dean Donald McConnell and Professor Kevin Holsclaw, writer and lecturer Ken Samples, and Professor Kevin Lewis of Biola University.
