Investigative Reports That Get Results
The Tale Of Two Projects
The Providence Pedestrian Bridge and the Apponaug Circulator in Warwick - two signature construction projects completed by the state in 2019 - provide a stark contrast in how their host communities have maintained them over the past year. One looks much the way it did the day it was opened, the other has been severely neglected - despite the city signing an agreement to maintain it. Jim Hummel shows us.
You could call it: A Tale of Two Projects.
The $22-million Providence Pedestrian Bridge - looking much the way it did when it officially opened 12 months ago, even with tens of thousands of people using it over the past year.
And the Apponaug Circulator in Warwick, with more than a million dollars of landscaping - already neglected, weeds choking out many areas, chipped curbing, a charred "Welcome to Apponaug Village" sign and dead trees in expensive planter boxes. All because the city hasn't taken care of the $71-million project since it was handed the maintenance keys by the state in December.
Campanelli: "This is what we're supposed to have to welcome people to Warwick, it's far from it."
Steve Campanelli watched the project take shape since 2015. Campanelli worked as a landscaper for more than two decades.
Campanelli: "The landscaping as prescribed in the plans is not what was planted. Parts of it have died through attrition, it's been replaced, but the biggest problem is nothing is being done to maintain it to promote the health and vitality of what's actually planted here."
The Rhode Island Department of Transportation built both projects - each one years in the planning and well over the original projected cost. Providence and Warwick signed 'Construction and Maintenance' agreements with the DOT, which shifted maintenance responsibilities to the local communities after the state completed its punch list following the respective openings.
While Providence has maintained the pedestrian bridge since it opened last August, the DOT and the I-195 Redevelopment District Commission continue to share responsibility for green space on either side of the river.
In Apponaug, the DOT spent $1.2 million on extensive landscaping around the five rotaries and the roads connecting them. It also spent $192,000 over the last 16 months it had responsibility for the project for a maintenance contract to make sure the new vegetation took root. The DOT handed over ownership to the city of Warwick on Dec. 1.
Campanelli: "I've called the mayor's office, the mayor's secretary, public works, department of highway, parks and rec, asked the same question: 'What's being done to maintain the landscaping here in the rotaries?' I get shuffled from department to department to department with the question never being answered."
Campanelli said it wouldn't take much effort to improve what motorists see now: a thorough weeding and mulching of the median that runs in front of the Fire Department would be a good start. And a weed whacker in other places.
Campanelli: "First of all it needs to be weeded. Secondly it needs to be planted fuller than what it is and it needs to be mulched. The mulch is what maintains the vitality of the plants, it insulates the roots of any plant that's in there. That not being done, the plants are in this arid condition, in this hostile environment being on the roadway. It's not healthy for any plant that's here."
In a lengthy written response to questions posed by The Hummel Report, the city said it was working on a maintenance plan earlier this year, but everything has been put on hold with the pandemic.
A hot summer has contributed to the condition of the landscaping, the statement said. The city's planning staff says it is working on a long-term maintenance plan to be implemented in 2021 - even though it's know for five years it would be responsible for maintenance beginning in December.
Mayor Joseph Solomon is also proposing an "Adopt-A-Spot" program, so there will be no additional cost to taxpayers, adding that the city is waiting on insurance settlements to fix the damage caused by accidents.
Nilsson: "Graffiti and vandalism, those are two pretty hot ones right now."
Wendy Nilsson is the Superintendent of the Providence Parks Department, which has overseen the maintenance of the popular bridge with the spectacular view of the city's skyline.
Nilsson: "More people are using the bridge than ever, using all of our parks than ever, that is a really good thing. But people have less to do in many arenas of city life. And so we're getting the good and getting some of the bad. But we are on top of it, we try to address things as soon as we hear about it or within 24 hours, so that any of that art that is left, quick disappears."
A spokesman for the mayor's office told The Hummel Report a year ago that the city was allocating "up to $92,500" for maintenance during the first 12 months. Nilsson said while much of the maintenance and mitigation work has been done in-house, the city hired an outside contractor to help remove extensive graffiti that had been spray painted this summer in the center of the bridge.
She said the city is purchasing a utility vehicle that is light enough to drive onto the bridge for cleanings. Nilsson added that the black on the side of the bridge is natural aging of the Brazilian wood the DOT used to build the structure.
The Parks Department has also made emptying trash barrels on either side of the bridge a priority after the opening weekend a year ago, which resulted in overflowing containers. Providence Police officers also patrol the bridge regularly, mainly in the evening.
Nilsson: "Now more than ever this bridge is used as a destination for people to work out, for people to have dinner, for people to enjoy restaurants, for people to play, relax, explore the city. It's really working."

The Department of Justice and FBI Wednesday said ongoing investigations have identified more than 1 million botnet crime victims.
The FBI is working with industry partners, including the Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Center at Carnegie Mellon University, to notify the victim owners of the computers. Microsoft and the Botnet Task Force have also helped out the FBI. Through this process the FBI may uncover additional incidents in which botnets have been used to facilitate other criminal activity, the FBI said in a statement.
- James C. Brewer of Arlington, Texas, is alleged to have operated a botnet that infected Chicago area hospitals. This botnet infected tens of thousands of computers worldwide.
- Jason Michael Downey of Covington, Ken., is charged with using botnets to send a high volume of traffic to intended recipients to cause damage by impairing the availability of such systems.
- Robert Alan Soloway of Seattle or the Spam King, is alleged to have used a large botnet network and spammed tens of millions of unsolicited email messages to advertise his website from which he offered services and products.
Bots are widely recognized as one of the top scourges of the industry. Gartner predicts that by year-end 75 percent of enterprises "will be infected with undetected, financially motivated, targeted malware that evaded traditional perimeter and host defenses," and early reports from beta customers of a yet to be released product from Mi5 show how nefarious these infections can be. Mi5 says it installed a Web security beta product at an organization with 12,000 nodes and in one month detected 22 active bots, 123 inactive bots and was watching another 313 suspected bots. That may not sound like a lot, but those bots were responsible for 136 million bot-related incidents, such as scanning for other hosts inside the firewall.
Google researchers recently said at least one in 10 Web pages is booby-trapped with malware. Google's Ghost in the Browser study looked at more than 4.5 million Web pages, and found that 10 percent of them were capable of activating malicious codes and 16 percent were suspected to contain codes that might be a threat to computers.

Nashville Symphony Welcomes Renowned Conductor JoAnn Falletta for Classical Series Concerts
January 10-12 Program features Prokofiev's Romeo & Juliet Suite, plus soloist Yulianna Avdeeva on Liszt's First Piano Concerto
The Nashville Symphony returns to the Schermerhorn stage on January 10-12 with Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet, which will feature two of the most respected women in classical music today – guest conductor JoAnn Falletta and award-winning pianist Yulianna Avdeeva.
The Symphony's first concerts of the New Year open with Maurice Ravel's La Valse, a dark re-imagining of the traditional Viennese waltz, before Avdeeva joins the orchestra on Franz Liszt's groundbreaking First Piano Concerto. Falletta and the orchestra close the performances with Sergei Prokofiev's Suite from Romeo and Juliet, one of the Russian composer's most beloved works.
Great seats are available starting at $27 (prices subject to change, additional fees apply), and the Symphony's Soundcheck program offers $10 tickets to students in K-12, college and graduate school.
About the Program and Performers
· Performance Today's 2019 Classical Woman of the Year, JoAnn Falletta became the first woman to lead a major American ensemble when she was appointed music director of the Buffalo Philharmonic. A multiple GRAMMY® Award winner with a discography of more than 115 titles, Falletta has introduced more than 500 works by American composers – including more than 100 world premieres – and has guest conducted leading orchestras throughout North and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa.
· Russian pianist Yulianna Avdeeva gained international recognition when she won First Prize in the prestigious Chopin Competition in 2010, and her combination of clarity, energy and elegance has solidified her place among the most distinctive artists of her generation.
Avdeeva has established a strong presence across Europe and Asia, and with these performances she is further elevating her profile in the U.S.
· Though Ravel envisioned La Valse as depicting the grandeur of "waltzing couples" in an "immense hall with a whirling crowd," music is actually unusually dark. One critic noted that the piece is more representative of a danse macabre ("dance of death") than a waltz, and many see La Valse as a symbolic representation of Europe after World War I.
· Liszt rose to fame as a piano virtuoso capable of transforming the instrument into a veritable orchestra and playing entire programs from memory – feats that stirred up a wave of adulation known as "Lisztomania." As a composer, he was also a trailblazer who sought to develop the concepts of the orchestral symphonic poem and "thematic transformation." The First Piano Concerto blends Liszt's own virtuosity with those innovative techniques.
· Prokofiev teamed up with director Sergei Radlov on Romeo and Juliet, tailoring Shakespeare's play into a ballet of more than 50 brief scenes that vividly capture the romance and tragedy of the classic tale. For the concert hall, Prokofiev prepared a series of suites drawing music from the ballet score, and this performance will feature highlights from two of those suites. His music for Romeo and Juliet teems with the lyricism and directness of the "new simplicity" the composer was pursuing at the time.
Tickets for Romeo & Juliet may be purchased:
Online at NashvilleSymphony.org/RomeoandJulietVia phone at 615.687.6400At the Schermerhorn Symphony Center Box Office, One Symphony Place in downtown Nashville
Full program notes, artist bios, a Spotify playlist and more can be found at NashvilleSymphony.org/RomeoandJuliet.
The GRAMMY® Award-winning Nashville Symphony has earned an international reputation for its innovative programming and its commitment to performing, recording and commissioning works by America's leading composers. The Nashville Symphony has released more than 30 recordings on Naxos, which have received 24 GRAMMY® nominations and 13 GRAMMY® Awards, making it one of the most active recording orchestras in the country. The orchestra has also released recordings on Decca, Deutsche Grammophon and New West Records, among other labels. With more than 140 performances annually, the orchestra offers a broad range of classical, pops and jazz, and children's concerts, while its extensive education and community engagement programs reached 45,000 children and adults during the 2018/19 season.

Q: Changing wallpaper and language setting after su command? Some time after su command I feel uncertain by seeing other wallpaper than the one corresponding to the new user. Is there any command usable at a batch, that I could use for quick switching that wallpapers?
(Original question asked also about switching languages. I have been advised by comments -thanks - and first I'll try a batch for it.)

A: For changing wallpaper at login time, you could add this command at the end of /home/$user/.profile:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri file:///folder/file

For newer users, it's a good practice to customize home in /etc/skel. Copy your modified .profile to there. See this: How setup new users with skel

Facebook's 2Africa to become world's longest subsea cable
Facebook has announced a new segment of subsea cable called 2Africa Pearls, which connects three continents - Africa, Europe, and Asia. This extension will bring the total length of the 2Africa cable system to more than 45,000 km, making it the longest subsea cable system ever deployed.
The 2Africa initiative's goal, as its name suggests, is to provide internet connectivity to people in Africa, which is currently the world's least connected continent.
The 2Africa subsea cable system will provide nearly three times the total network capacity of all the subsea cables serving Africa today. With 2Africa, the social media giant had planned to increase connectivity to 1.2 billion people.
"We continue to invest in subsea cables in Africa and beyond as communities and businesses flourish when there is widely-accessible internet. Facebook is continuing to build innovative solutions such as these critical fiber optic superhighways so that everyone can benefit from the economic, educational, and social advantages of a digitally connected world," the company said in a statement.
With the addition of Pearls, the system will provide connectivity to an additional 1.8 billion people, totaling 3 billion people, or about 36 percent of the global population.
The 2Africa Pearls branch adds several new landing locations in Oman, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, Pakistan, India, and Saudi Arabia. In its entirety, 2Africa will significantly increase connectivity within Africa and better connect Africa to the rest of the world, as it will ultimately interconnect 33 countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Europe.

Only two owners and numbers matching. Second owner owned for 43 years. Rust free original front suspension pan, floors and rockers. The original 2.4 liter CIS engine has received one professional rebuild and currently runs very strong with excellent leakdown test results. The improved Carrera tensioners were installed at the time of the engine rebuild. Very well maintained by it's second owner with a $3000 service just completed. Original 915 five speed transmission shifts excellent. Amazingly,the body is still wearing most of it's original Light Ivory paint (color code 131) and original black leatherette interior with excellent original dash top. Excellent panel gaps. Both doors shut with factory ping. Originally ordered from factory with 911S gauges, 911S front brake calipers and a factory steel 911S front spoiler. Excellent Koni shocks are installed. Original owner's manual, service records back to 1973 including engine rebuild receipt and original toolkit. The CIS injected 2.4 liter 911T is long known to be the smoothest driving of all the early 911's. This is a great opportunity to purchase a very original 1973 Porsche 911T Targa with only two owners.
Late in the production run of 1973, Porsche started to install the more advanced Bosch K-jetronic (CIS) fuel injection system into the 911T models sold in the US. From an engineering perspective, these 911T models are the most advanced version of the early 911 combining the looks of the early cars with the drivability/reliability of the late model cars. The 2.4 liter CIS engine develops 148hp and provides a very smooth yet powerful ride.

As the founder and sole member of the Sheldon Award Society, I am dedicated to identifying the worst college president of each academic year. So far the presidents or chancellors of Berkeley, Georgetown, DePaul, and countless other universities have copped the Sheldon. Somewhat mysteriously, none offered to resign.
The award is a statuette that looks something like the Oscar, except the Oscar features a man with no face looking straight ahead, whereas the Sheldon shows a man with no spine looking the other way.
The award is named for Sheldon "Water Buffalo" Hackney, the former president of the University of Pennsylvania and the Babe Ruth of modern Sheldonism.
Mr. Bacow or his staff apparently snookered the Tufts commencement speaker, Mayor Bloomberg. The mayor's speech mistakenly praised the campus for respecting free speech in the controversy, although a harassment verdict had already been announced.
Another perennial Sheldon candidate, Lee Bollinger, president of Columbia University, had a notable year. In October, rioters prevented speeches by two Minutemen, members of a volunteer group that patrols the Mexican border reporting illegal immigrants.
Mr. Bollinger, a first amendment scholar, might have shown a commitment to free speech by inviting the men back, introducing them himself and providing enough security to prevent more censorship by riot. But he didn't.
Instead, he let months go by before imposing a mild non-punishment on the unnamed perpetrators. The punishment "seems to have no more meaning than O.J. Simpson's quest to find the real killers," according to an article featured on the Web site of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, a free-speech watchdog group.
The last of our three finalists is president of Duke, Richard Brodhead. Because Michael Nifong made himself such a spectacular villain in the lacrosse case, Mr. Brodhead escaped without much criticism. But here is what Mr. Brodhead did: On hearing the first reports, he abruptly canceled the lacrosse season, suspended the two players named in the case, and fired the lacrosse coach of 16 years, giving him less than a day to get out.
This helped create the impression that the players were guilty. His long letter to the campus on April 20 did the same thing. He didn't say the boys were guilty, but he talked passionately about the coercion and assault of women, the legacy of racism, and privilege and inequality – all of which fed the anger aimed at the lacrosse team.
Without any comment from Mr. Brodhead, the protesters issued death threats, carried banners that said "castrate," featured photos of lacrosse players on "Wanted" fliers, and banged pots outside the boys' residences in the early morning hours to disturb their sleep. A word from the president about leaving the boys alone and guaranteeing them a fair trial would have been nice.
Congratulations Richard Brodhead, Sheldon laureate 2007. And you should resign.


Players are well known for being among the most superstitious people in the world. On the other hand, attracting fortune to the game is a very important component and, consequently, it is useful to make sure that luck is on its side in order to increase the personal chances of winning.
Not for nothing, on the subject there are different forms of superstitions that hover among the players and that come to be handed down from generation to generation.
Since the blindfolded goddess is fickle, it is obvious that each player has his own little tricks to conquer it, such as certain garments or special ritual formulas. Undoubtedly, one of the best known methodologies among the players is the so-called positive thinking.
Let's see, even if briefly, how one's thoughts and actions can influence luck at play.
Positivity as well as negativity are both part of our thoughts. One becomes directly the protagonists of the help of fortune on the basis of how one stands towards them. This simple representation is the extreme synthesis of the law of attraction.
Indeed, the reasons why we think we do not have luck in the game are, basically, tied to our beliefs. In essence, it is believed that luck does not come to our rescue precisely because belief in it is in conflict with the sum of our limited beliefs.
In reality, we can shape the intervention of fortune if, of course, we think of it in a positive way. So, a positive thought must come to attract luck to the game. If you do not see all this as a potentially possible and concrete fact, it becomes impossible to attract the Goddess Bendata towards you.
Positivity in the game aimed at favoring luck, also includes the formulation of affirmations, or thoughts, that are in positive syntony. That is, to be even clearer negative statements bring negativity.
Both the approach and the thought built with positive affirmations, on the other hand, allow us to create a context where luck can be our best ally. In practice, it should always be remembered that our perceptions will make sure that the game can develop in a positive way.
In relation to the game, it is therefore important to have a positive thinking approach consisting of positive affirmations, and which, moreover, is carefree, playful and light. If you do this, then, you can get positive results.

His excellent contribution to the struggle for liberation and advancing democracy among all South African citizens, through selfless sacrifice without regard to his own safety and well-being.
Profile of Abdhulhay Jassat
Abdhulhay Jassat was born on 12 June 1934 in Vrededorp, Johannesburg. He was involved in the struggle for freedom from an early age. In 1952, he joined the youth wing of the Transvaal Indian Youth Congress, one of the four components of the Congress Alliance.
He was one of the many volunteers who went on the door-to-door campaign collecting demands as a build-up to the Congress of the People, held in June 1955 in Kliptown, where the Freedom Charter was adopted. In 1960, he was recruited into Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), and belonged to one of the units in the Indian areas.
He was an active member of his MK unit, which was one of the four units of the platoon under Laloo Chiba. His unit carried out several acts of sabotage, and in 1962 he was promoted to head his unit of MK cadres.
He was arrested on the 17 April 1963, together with Reggie Vandeyar, Indres Naidoo, Sirish Nanabhai and Laloo Chiba, all of whom were severely tortured. Jassat was so badly hurt that he continues to suffer from epileptic fits after 50 years. All five of them were charged with sabotage. Subsequently Jassat and Laloo, both of whom had been arrested at home, were tried separately from the others, but were acquitted because of the lack of evidence. The remaining three cadres were found guilty and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment each.
Upon acquittal, Jassat and Laloo were immediately taken into custody and detained under the notorious 90-day Detention Law and incarcerated at the Marshall Square Police Station. Jassat went into exile to Dar-es-Salaam, in Tanzania where he worked full-time for the ANC for six years. He later settled down in London, where he was a full-time functionary of the ANC in its finance department with Alex La Guma, Reginald September and MP Naicker.
After spending 30 years in exile, Jassat returned to South Africa in 1993. His comrades describe him as a principled, disciplined and committed freedom fighter. Jassat is now 79-years-old and belongs to a generation of revolutionaries, who made tremendous sacrifices and endured pain and suffering in pursuit of a just, democratic, non-racial and non-sexist South Africa.

In late 2013 we held a webinar discussing the importance of focusing on water as a cost savings opportunity. Given the recent restrictions on water use in California, we wanted to share Nick Barhorst's summary of the webinar below as it is still very relevant to companies needing to understand and manage their water consumption.
Our guest for the webinar was Kevin Merritt, Director of Facilities, Midwest Division at Circle K. Kevin shared what the company has done to decrease its water usage and why they chose to use Ecova's Water Outlier Investigation service. We also explored why taking action on water consumption is important and some "low hanging fruit" options when considering a water management plan.
During the webinar, I went into detail on what an outlier site is and how to identify those sites within a large portfolio. I also shared Ecova's approach for bringing outlier sites back into the norm using our Water Outlier Investigation service, which uses site level assessments to find causes of high use, and then determines the corrective action that should be taken to reduce usage.
Water costs are continuing to rise, and as a result, companies are seeing increased expenses associated with water. I encourage you to take 30 minutes out of your day to watch this important water management webinar which can be viewed below.

Internationalization is fascinating: the ebook case
If you've been paying attention lately, you know I'm in charge of Readium CSS, a project funded and driven by EDRLab, and whose goal is the creation of a reference CSS for EPUB ebooks.
We've done a lot of research and development since July 2017, and do care a lot about the (digital) reading experience: we've spent countless hours fine-tuning typography to provide users with the best experience possible and tried to leverage all the awesome tools the web has to offer — yes, the web culture can be that awesome. And now is the time to rinse and repeat for internationalization.
Believe it or not but we even created our own tools to check typefaces we can recommend.
As a web developer or designer, you may know German words can be awfully long — Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz, which was the title of a law regulating the testing of beef —, that some european languages use diacritics ("Ğ", "Ș", "é", and so forth), that User Interfaces must be laid out right to left for Arabic and Hebrew scripts, and that some languages like Japanese can be written vertical right to left. Actually, there's a lot more, and it's fascinating how web technologies can impact entire cultures we may not be familiar with.
To be honest, for a Frenchman having done some research, individual and collective efforts can not be overemphasized, and there is a lot of people trying to make those cultures shine out, designing typefaces, documenting requirements for each language, and shipping products in the real world.
Mukta, a Unicode compliant, contemporary, mono-linear font family available in seven weights, supporting Devanagari, Gujarati, Gurumukhi, Tamil and Latin scripts. By EkType.
Now, I must kickstart internationalization in Readium CSS, and here are some issues, docs and insights which may be interesting to you, should you do internationalization someday.
It's just about typefaces and writing-modes, right?
I wish it were true but one month of research — which means preparing development, we're not even talking about CSS and documentation there –, makes it clear this is not the case. At all.
Let's start with Indic, which is written left to right and top to bottom. That should be easy, right?
Well… Did you know India officially recognizes 22 languages and 12 scripts?
Sure, we could start with the Devanagari script, but then it is used for Hindi, Sanskrit, Nepali, Bengali, etc., which can have their own rules. And then you have to take the Gujarati, Kannada, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, etc. scripts into account…
An example of Malayalam text. Left is badly-rendered and isn't the result intended by the typeface designer since the font used is not the original (source: University of Chicago). Right is the correct rendering. Thanks to Santhosh Thottingal for pointing it out and providing the correct version.
Now, India population is 1.324 billion, people use mobile phones and Malayam, for example, is spoken by more people as a native language (38 million) than Swedish (9.2 million), for which we can offer good support in Readium CSS.
In other words, the situation becomes really tricky super fast if we take a look at raw data, because we obviously want to provide the best support we can get, and we don't necessarily know support for those languages may impact so many people.
For instance, can you tell if the search library you're using or developing can manage CJK, Arabic, and Indic as expected? Unicode normalization, zero-width non-joiner and zero-width joiner (non-printing) characters, punctuation marks and signs, and right to left direction are all items you might want to test sooner than later if you're planning to go international at some point.
Let's take a look at a more complex language: Japanese. For Japanese, we must support vertical writing. But that's the easiest part of the story…
An example of Japanese text laid out vertical-rl. (Source: Japanese Text Layout Requirements)
Did you know Japanese publishers have their own typography rules, which represents their brand, and line-adjustment therefore becomes a super complex issue?
Speaking of which, Arabic-Persian scripts have a concept called "Kashida elongation" (کشیده), which is a type of justification that web browsers don't support yet.
Example of Kashida elongation. (Source: Arabic Script Text Layout Requirements)
In the end, we'll even have to disable some user settings like letter- and word-spacing because they can't apply to some languages! And then there is accessibility, for which we have very little info – it happens to be one of EDRLab's core missions. All I know at the moment is that we might want to disable ligatures in Arabic Script to make it more accessible to people with reading issues.
Typography is awesome
I've learnt so much reading Text Layout Requirements for non-latin languages that it's mind-blowing.
Here's the list of text layout requirements I've read so far:
Requirements for Japanese Text Layout;
Requirements for Chinese Text Layout;
Requirements for Hangul (Korean) Text Layout;
Requirements for the Arabic Script;
Requirements for Hebrew Text Layout;
Requirements for Indic Text Layout.
It really makes you feel humble, to be honest. All the issues you've encountered in latin languages are, quite frankly, nothing compared to the issues some languages have to deal with, when it comes to their essential parts.
For instance, orthographic syllabic boundaries is the reference browsers should use in Indic. And sometimes they don't. How would you react if a browser couldn't wrap or hyphenate words well? Or :first-letter couldn't select the correct group of characters for your script?
Examples of drop caps in Indic. (Source: Indic Text Layout Requirements)
There's also hanging punctuation, which is purely æsthetic in some western languages, but can make or break the harmony in some others — the Japanese Kihon-hanmen (基本版面) relies on gravitational forces for instance.
As a matter of fact, if you think latin typography is hard, chances are you've never encountered ruby annotation in CJK. Ruby (ルビ) is such a complex system that I can't even understand all its details yet.
In Chinese, you can have two interlinear annotations at the same time. (Source: Chinese Text Layout Requirements)
I can't either understand all the idiosyncracies of joining forms, which are not ligatures, in Arabic yet. And I'm just starting to get familiar with the typographic adjustments the writing modes (horizontal-tb/vertical-rl) require in CJK.
As for special typographic features like Warichu (割注), a type of inline note where the text runs on two lines, I've been wondering how one could achieve that with the modern specs CSS provides. So internationalization definitely keeps my brain firing, and offers some unexpected room to flex my CSS muscles.
Example of Japanese Warichu. (Source: Japanese Text Layout Requirements)
This is a tough challenge, but I love this. I may not be able to read, write and speak those languages in my lifetime, but typography is at least a common language we can share. And discovering those new concepts is awesome, as I can now see my native language's typography from a new and exciting perspective.
If typesetting has become a mere set of rules and you've been doing things on autopilot mode lately, I can only advise you to read the requirements I listed above. Chances are you'll get a new canvas on which you can experiment new approaches by breaking the rules you've been following so far.
Fragmentation is a problem the web has not solved (yet)
In ebook-land, people — both authors and users — expect paged views. If you take a look at EPUB/Kindle files, you can clearly tell authors design their CSS with the assumption contents will be paginated. And if you don't ship pagination in your app, a lot of users might simply not consider even testing it. Don't forget ebooks are not longform content but super mega longform content so some users prefer it to be fragmented into pages.
Moreover, there's a technical constraint we often forget about: eInk. Its super slow updates makes scrolling a real pain, so fragmenting contents into screens (pages) is our only viable option right now — unfortunately, eInk is something people tend to overlook when discussing how we could revolutionize electronic books, although it's been one important cornerstone of this industry; it at least deserves a mention.
Alas, internationalization brings a lot of issues there. And what's interesting is to take a look at existing Reading Systems' solutions to those issues.
Since we have nothing to paginate with CSS in practice, we use multi-columns to fragment contents. Currently, CSS multicol is indeed the only cross-platform spec using fragmentation in web browsers. At some point, I even discovered that CSS Regions could be considered a super-set of columns in Blink/Webkit.
Problem is the column axis depends on the writing-mode documents use. In vertical-rl for instance, columns will be automatically laid out on top of one another (y-axis), not next to one another (x-axis).
If you're trying to paginate using multi-columns in vertical-rl, here's what you get.
Believe it or not, but Apple solved this issue by extending the multicol spec a little bit in Safari 7, in order to create a pagination API on iOS. To sum things up, you can force the column axis by using -webkit-column-axis in Safari (here is a demo you must open in Safari to see it in action).
Unfortunately, Chromium removed it 4 years ago. To be fair, CSS regions were still a thing at the time, and paged overflow was meant to solve such issues. Only did Blink remove CSS regions, on which Opera's implementation of paged overflow was heavily relying… Which leaves us with nothing today — funny story: if you try overflow:-webkit-paged-x in Chromium (build 251715), in which this non-standard -webkit-column-axis property was still supported, you would obtain the desired result.
Here's what you get when setting an explicit -webkit-column-axis in Safari. We wish we could get that in all the other browsers.
As a consequence, we need to cheat a little bit, by embracing the y-axis and adapting the page-progression-direction accordingly: when you swipe/tap right or left, pages move upward or downward. This means we can't do spreads for vertical writing, unless we use the non-standard -webkit-column-axis CSS property on iOS/Safari, CSS Regions in MS Edge on Windows, and a rendering engine in JavaScript for other platforms.
Needless to say CSS Houdini could be the missing piece the ebook community needs to solve the fragmentation issue for its use cases. But having a standard column-axis property implemented could probably help solve 90% of those use cases in the nearer term.
The best it can be
Obviously, in the case of ebooks, CSS is just one piece of the internationalization puzzle. The entire framework is impacted (metadata handling, rendition, page progression, User Interface, apps' features, etc.).
We can implement a baseline but we'll need expertise to make internationalization the best it can be. We'll have to pick the best fonts we can find for each language, we'll need reviews on documentation and stylesheets, we'll have to take informed decisions when we hit edge cases, and so forth.
It takes some expertise to pick typefaces with well-supported joining forms in the Arabic script… Can you help?
If you're fluent or do web development/design in those languages, you probably know a lot of details we can't currently grasp, and CSS tricks to achieve special typographic features. Your knowledge is invaluable and could definitely help us create Reading Systems all users will enjoy, from Paris and Moscow (Москва) to Tokyo (東京) and Kathmandu (काठमाडौं).
If you want to help, please feel free to weigh in on our localization issue or the comments of this post, or just ping me on Twitter.
The web is beautiful, let's make this ebook CSS reference equally awesome for users all around the World.

Fantasy Paranormal
Elisa Paige is a former newspaper reporter, editor, and freelance writer who's always had a passion for urban fantasy. While in college, Elisa carried a double major, a minor, worked four internships (two radio stations, a TV station, and The Smithsonian), and served as a European exchange student – solid preparation for juggling family, work, daily life, and writing, writing, writing. Elisa is a self-avowed caffeine addict with no intentions of ever jumping off the Java Wagon. She lives in Texas with her family, Andalusian horses, four cats, and a Cu Sith wannabe named Daisy.
Q: What is your writing day like?
A: Weekdays, I wake at 6:30, have my first canned Starbucks Doubleshot of the day, feed our assorted beasties, and get my daughter ready for school. When I get home, I dig into wherever I am in my writing and motor through -- usually forgetting to stop for breakfast and lunch until my husband plunks a plate of something in front of me, growling about how annoying certain single-minded people are! At 2:30, I drive back to school and pick up my daughter, incorporating any errands on the way home. Then it's back to writing/editing/polishing until about 5:30, when I break off to help with homework and, once again, feed the beasties. Happily, my husband is a trained chef, whereas I'm stressed putting together Cheerios and a glass of milk. So, while hubby gets dinner ready, I figure out whatever needs to be done for the family the next day -- laundry, errands, snacks for school, etc. We eat dinner, usually in the living room -- we're very casual -- and 8:30 is our daughter's bedtime. Which means she's asleep any time between 9:00 and 10:00! Once she's down for the night, I go back to writing/editing/polishing until about 2:00 a.m. Having consumed caffeine at a steady rate all day fuels these hours, as do Skittles. Lots of Skittles.
Weekends differ because I spend most of the day working, uninterrupted, except for those days when we have volleyball practice (I'm the coach) or a family outing.
Q: Did you always want to be a writer?
A: With everything in me, yes. I wrote a number of high fantasy manuscripts when I was in college that I didn't do anything with. Packrat that I am, I still have them on their original dot-matrix printer paper. On the rare occasion I see them -- usually as I'm digging for something else -- the layers of dust always make me sneeze. Over the ensuing years, I wrote constantly, reporting on Capitol Hill, working as a newspaper reporter and editor, freelancing, writing scripts for industrials, and so on. But there's nothing in the world like writing fiction!
Q: Where do you get ideas for your stories?
A: I'd love to come up with a poetic, beautifully crafted answer, but the truth is, I have no idea. I'm just struck by . . . something.
Sometimes, it's a phrase, "It wasn't that I wanted to live forever -- I just didn't want to die." Other times, it begins with a very strong, clear image: an amnesiac, Light Fae called out of the wind by a handsome vampire who's been in love with her for centuries, lost her, and has searched for her ever since. The same is true of Shadowplay: the image of an outcast, mixed-breed Fae perched on a rooftop and observing a supernatural fight unfold on the carefully manicured lawn below her. Some books begin with a character imprinted solidly in my head, fully formed, with his or her own story. And, occasionally, a book's genesis is just one vivid scene -- like stepping into a movie filled with characters you don't yet know (my current work-in-progress).
Q: What is the best part about writing?
A: It depends what I'm doing at the time I'm asked the question! If I'm writing a new story, then I'm jazzed about creating. If I'm editing, I'm passionate about the process of making sure each word is exactly right. If I'm polishing, then I'm having a blast ensuring everything comes together. I also enjoy working with an editor, since he or she is new to the story and provides an entirely fresh view -- one that's hard for me to maintain, since the story and characters have been living in my head for months by that point.
Q: What do you like to read?
A: It's in my family's genetic code that we don't leave the house without a book, even if we're just going to the corner for a gallon of milk. Consequently, there are a lot of authors I enjoy and a handful I genuinely adore. Karen Marie Moning (the Fever series' characters are deep deep deep under my skin), Patricia Briggs (beautiful, clean writing that says so very much, so very well), and Karen Chance (I adore her sense of humor) are at the absolute top of my list. I love trading zombie books with my big brother and debating end-of-the-world, zombie-pocalypse, what-would-you-do-if scenarios.
Q: Do you ever use music for inspiration?
A: Absolutely. For Roddie's fiddle playing, I listened to the incredible band, Scythian. Stop the Show, Immigrant Stomp, and Tammlin are some of my favorite "Roddie" songs. Scythian is incredible and the guys never take shortcuts with their music. Fiddler Alex Fedoryka is one of the finest musicians I've ever heard -- I'm convinced no one can match him, whether he's double-bowing, trilling, or playing at vampire-speed, all the while dancing and whirling around the stage with incredible, infectious joy. He's also pretty easy to look at!
Listening to Paddy Moloney (The Chieftains) helped solidify Nick's feadog pipe playing. The man is supernaturally gifted and I was so inspired, that I bought a pipe online from a Dublin store and tried to teach myself to play it. While I can manage piano and sax, my pipe playing resembles a dying sparrow. Not pretty. Not pretty at all.
Davey Spillane's Caoineadh Cu Chulainn (a lament for Ireland's great hero, Cu Cuchulain) played on a loop while I wrote Mia's emotional breakdown; by the second playing, I was writing through tears and was in a funk for days.
No matter what I'm working on, many other songs motivate me into a writing frenzy during the drive to and from school to drop off/pick up my daughter, run errands, while at the (shudder) grocery store, or in the shower -- music is almost always playing in our house or buds are stuffed in my ears. Relient K, Finger Eleven, Rob Zombie, Jasmin Tabatabai, James Yuill, The Prodigy, Shiny Toy Guns, and The Killers top my list. Lately, Manfred Mann's cover of Springsteen's For You is haunting me.
Q: What's on your "to read" list?
A: My favorite authors' newest releases. When I find a new-to-me writer and love their work, I buy for my Kindle everything they've ever published. My absolute favorite of these books I also buy in paperback or hardcover, whichever is available at the time. The result is that I'll devour a series in a matter of days; for example, Karen Marie Moning's Fever books took me three days to finish, in and around my commitments, and staying up until 4:30 one night. Ahh, bliss. And, wow, was I exhausted the next day!
Q: What's an interesting fact about you that might surprise readers?
A: I love archery and fencing, although I haven't done either since college, as well as target shooting with both rifle and pistol. I've ridden horses all my life and have Andalusians -- a Spanish breed the good guys ride in movies like Gladiator, Lord of the Rings, Legend, Robin Hood, Zorro, and many others. Andalusians grace tapestries and paintings throughout Europe, and are notable for their beauty, nobility, and very thick/long manes and tails. PS, I'm a total history geek.
Q: How long does it take you to write a book?
A: From putting the first words on my computer screen to completing the final polish, it generally takes me two to three months. There are several reasons why: first, I type very fast (for kicks, I was tested once at 108 words per minute with 100% accuracy); second, I write at least ten hours a day; third, I carry my work with me and edit while my daughter is taking guitar lessons or I'm waiting for my husband at the dentist's office, etc. Look me up in the Thesaurus and you'll find synonyms like persistent, relentless, obsessed . . .
Q: How many books have you written and which is your favorite?
A: On the nonfiction side, I've authored one (published) and was a contributing writer for another (published). In fiction, I've written five books, three of which will be published in the next six months. My favorite book is always the one I just finished, probably because it's still so fresh in my head.
Q: Which character is your favorite?
A: It would be easier to say what I love most about each character than to pick one character out of the lineup. For instance, I love Mia's courage and how she never gives up. I love Roddie's gentle stubbornness, kind sense of humor, and fierce loyalty for those he cares about. I enjoy Amenenhep's ancient boredom, and how it makes him so unpredictable and dangerous. I really like Amalie's snarkiness and the way Nick is the group's heart, smoothing over rough spots, uniting them in enduring friendship. I could go on, but the answer would run for pages!
Q: Which character is most like you?
A: Okay, I can easily imagine my mother perking up with interest, wanting to see how I answer this one! I could divert the answer by saying that I like first-person best, which requires putting myself into the character's head and having a good look around. I could say, truthfully, that there are parts of me in each of the heroines. But, of them all, Amalie is most like me, since she says and does all the things that float around in my mind, but that my Southern upbringing prohibit me from expressing.

By working side-by-side with people living with MBC, we've created Facing MBC Together, a place to give voice to the rollercoaster of emotions people experience with MBC.
Sometimes the simple act of learning that someone else feels like you do is enough. Often, seeking support and help from others is the greatest gift we can give ourselves. We hope that as you explore, you'll find people you relate to and stories that resonate, and connect with others to feel validated, supported, and empowered along the way.
At Athenex Oncology we're not only passionate about creating new treatments, we're also dedicated to supporting the entire MBC community to create a path forward we can all embrace—together.

Q: How to run multiple slave batch files from a master batch file? I have a special requirement where I am trying to run child bat files from a master bat file. But there are multiple issues that I am running into.

*

*Master does not wait for child to get completed and completes without waiting for child file completion. Which means I can not schedule it as job.

*When I am doing parallel execution inside master file, it does not go to the next line of execution.
I am adding a reference code for you.
Code for Master file:-
start "C:\Test\Parallel_batch_process\chlidA.bat"
start "C:\Test\Parallel_batch_process\chlidB.bat"

ChildA:-
start "test1" cmd.exe /C ^(ping server1 -n 2 ^> C:\Test\Parallel_batch_process\Test1.txt^)
start "test2" cmd.exe /C ^(ping server2 -n 2 ^> C:\Test\Parallel_batch_process\Test2.txt^)

ChildB:-
start "test1" cmd.exe /C ^(ping Server3 -n 5 ^> C:\Test\Parallel_batch_process\Test3.txt^)
start "test2" cmd.exe /C ^(ping Server4 -n 2 ^> C:\Test\Parallel_batch_process\Test4.txt^)

There is one more extension to this where I am calling GrandChild from the Child files, but for if this much only works then I can go for the next level.

A: If you want to execute a batch file from within another, you should use the CALL command:
REM Child.bat
ECHO This is the child

.
REM Master.bat
ECHO This is the master
CALL Child.bat
CALL Child.bat

A: I think I have finally understood your question - correct me if I am wrong. You want to:

*

*Start a batch file that starts a number of new batch files, all running simultaneously;

*Yet this batch file does not finish until all the started batch files have themselves finished.

In other words, you want to JOIN to the running processes that this batch file started, waiting for all of them to finish until they themselves have finished.
Yeah, you can't do that. Unfortunately, DOS (which is where batch files started!) doesn't have the concept of parallel execution. So what you need to do is start each of the processes independently, and then use the tasklist command to find out if they're still running (since Windows XP).
tasklist

This outputs the data in a pretty format, suitable for display - but not for processing! Let's change the format, by choosing the Comma-Separated Values (CSV) version:
tasklist /fo CSV

Now we're talking! But there are still headers. Let's remove those:
tasklist /nh /fo CSV

Hmmm. OK, but ALL the processes that are running are listed. Can we be selective? Yes, by using the if clause (spelled fi):
tasklist /nh /fo CSV /fi "imagename eq cmd.exe"

The if test checks the name of the running program. You haven't told us that, so I've used cmd.exe - a bad idea! (I assume you could be running your own shells?) Note that there are a number of attributes - try windowname if that helps...

Now we can do some processing! You can find out how many are running using find's -c option:
tasklist /nh /fo CSV /fi "imagename eq cmd.exe" | find /c "cmd"

But that's not very helpful for processing. So:
for /f "usebackq" %%F in (`tasklist /nh /fo CSV /fi "imagename eq cmd.exe" ^| find /c "cmd"`) do set NUM=%%F

Don't forget: on the command line, for uses one %. In a batch file, you need two of them: %%
  Also: use the escape character ^ for special shell characters...

So now you've got the number of your processes that are running in the NUM variable:
:Wait
for /f "usebackq" ... (rest of line)
if %NUM% NEQ 0 goto Wait

...but that's a little processor intensive! You should probably wait a little while between the two lines:
:Wait
for /f "usebackq" ... (rest of line above)
if %NUM% EQU 0 goto Exit
timeout 1 > nul
goto Wait
:Exit

Cleveland Browns cornerback TJ Carrie launched his "Let's Chat" revolutionary Chatalyze program with local hospitals this off-season. This is Carrie's opportunity to connect one-on-one with patients in the hospital through chat sessions that can also include signed digital autographs in real time and the ability to take "screenshot selfies" together. Carrie is excited to be able to visit with children who are experiencing some of the same challenges that he had when he had open heart surgery at age 15 and was hospitalized for two months for recovery. Carrie has a unique relationship with the patients offering empathy as he listens to their fears and uncertainties. His encouraging message of being a "TJ Carrie Heart Warrior" one is who is Brave, Strong, Works Hard, and Dreams Big ~ is relevant to almost any patient in the hospital. In addition to his "Let's Chat" initiative, Carrie will continue to visit children in the hospital and personally deliver his personal TJ Carrie Heart Shadow Buddies.
Chatalyze is a Silicon Valley-based technology startup. This personal engagement platform allows athletes to personally and easily connect with their fans around the world. This is accomplished through enriched video conference technology, which enables athletes to chat one-on-one with multiple people in a single chat session, sign digital autographs in real time, and take "screenshot selfies". The goal is to make athletes more widely and personally available to their fans so that fans can experience "magic moments" on a regular basis. For Carrie, this was an opportunity for him connect with children in the hospital who he might not be able to regularly visit.
My surgery brings back a lot of memories because of the scar that I have. The more and more that I talk to the kids that have this procedure, the more I realize how important our scar is.
