Encyclopedia > Bibby Line

The Bibby Line Group is the parent of the current incarnation of the shipping interests of the Bibby family of Britain, which can be traced back to the establishment of the shipbroking partnership of Bibby & Hall in 1801.


The company claims a continuous heritage since the 1807 creation of the Bibby Line by the first John Bibby (1775-1840), but in fact the Bibbys were not in the shipping business for some years after 1873.


Sir Derek Bibby, 2nd baronet, a great-great-grandson of the founder and past chairman and president of the firm,suffered from leukemia and committed suicide October 9, 2002 at age 80.


The family continues to hold a substantial interest in the firm, which has always been based in Liverpool.

TeX - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4243 words)
Many line breaking algorithms use a first-fit approach, where the breakpoints for each line are determined one after the other, and no breakpoint is changed after it has been chosen.
If no suitable line break can be found for a line, the system will try to hyphenate a word.
The original version of TeX used a hyphenation algorithm based on a set of rules for the removal of prefixes and suffixes of words, and for deciding if it should insert a break between the two consonants in a pattern of the form vowel–consonant–consonant–vowel (which is possible most of the time).
