The passage is attributed to an unknown typesetter in the 15th century who is thought to have scrambled parts of Cicero’s De Finibus Bonorum et Malorum.

Creation timelines for the standard lorem ipsum
Richard McClintock,It’s difficult to find examples of lorem ipsum in use before Letraset made it popular as a dummy text in the 1960s, although McClintock says he remembers coming across the lorem ipsum passage in a book of old metal type samples. So far he hasn’t relocated where he once saw the passage, but the popularity of Cicero in the 15th century supports the theory that the filler text has been used for centuries.

QUESTIONS
What is the GI Bill®?
The GI Bill® is a law that provides education and training benefits to veterans and their eligible family members. The original GI Bill, also known as the Servicemen’s Readjustment Act of 1944, was created to help World War II veterans transition to civilian life by offering them financial assistance to attend college or vocational training. Since then, the GI Bill has been updated several times to provide additional benefits and expand eligibility to more veterans and their dependents.
GI Bill ® is a registered trademark of the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA). More information about education benefits offered by VA is available at the official U.S. government website at https://www.benefits.va.gov/gibill.
What is the Hazlewood Act?
The Hazlewood Act is a Texas state law that provides education benefits to eligible veterans, their spouses, and dependent children. The act was named after a former Texas state senator, William “Bill” Hazlewood, who sponsored the bill. The Hazlewood Act provides eligible veterans with up to 150 credit hours of tuition and fee exemptions at public universities in Texas. Spouses and dependent children of eligible veterans may also be eligible for the exemption. The act was designed to help Texas veterans and their families obtain a college education or other advanced training.
However, the Hazelwood Act is not currently accepted here at Diamond Rigging and Crane.
