It is surprising to some that text should be the largest module in a kernel
such as ours. In our experience, it is often the handling of text that makes the
difference between a toy and a serious tool. The Lively Kernel text is built from
the ground up, so it can run where no native text support is available. The
tally includes all the functions for mouse tracking, line composition, selection,
rich text encoding, font changes, and on-the-fly layout. It seemed to us the only approach consistent with a world of active objects.

meroïtic script/ 'alphabet'
Meroïtic "Alphabet"

In the Cushitic kingdom of Meroe, which stretched from Nubia in the Nile Valley to near today's Khartoum, the Eyptian hieroglyphic writing system was the only script until 200 BCE (Bechhaus-Gerst 1996:28) It had some influence on the modified hieroglyphic Meroitic script, which was developed only then, at the last stage of the kingdom around 200 BCE. According to Rilly (2004) it was used until 420 CE, when the Meroitic language gave way to Nubian. Bechhaus-Gerst, however, postulates that the Meroitic script was used even after the end of the kingdom of Meroe.
After the Egyptian hieroglyphics, the Meroitic writing system is the second-oldest in Africa, and it constitutes the first graphization of a local language (Bechhaus-Gerst 1996:28). It was in several ways superior to the Egyptian system. The people of Meroe reduced the multitude of hieroglyphic signs to 23 basic signs and created an alphabet. Again, unlike the Egyptian system, this alphabet also included vowel sounds, a great improvement over the hieroglyphic system, as well as a sign marking the division of words, an uncommon feature in ancient writing (Grzymski 1983:22f).
One of the most striking things about the Meroitic script is the inclusion of a distinct set of traditionally termed ‘syllable’ signs. The widely used cursive version of which some 1278 texts are known was mainly used on stelae and ostraca5 while the hieroglyphic form was used monumentally (Rowan 2006:131)

The name 'Coptic' is derived from the Greek word for Egyptian: Aigyptioi which
became Qibt in Arabic and then was latinised to become Copt (Ager, online)

The Coptic alphabet is a variety of the Greek alphabet. It came into being during the 3rd century BCE after the Greek conquest of Egypt and the subsequent spread of Christianity. Coptic uses all the Greek characters and in addition six extra letters to represent Egyptian sounds non existent in Greek. The extra letters are borrowed from the Demotic script. In contrast to Hieratic and Demotic but like Greek, Coptic is written in horizontal lines from left to right (UMich, online)

The name Demotic was given by Herodotus and means 'the people's writing'
referring to the fact that many Egyptians could read it. The Egyptians themselves called it sekh shat ('writing for documents'). It was written almost exclusively from right to left in horizontal lines and mainly in ink on papyrus, but Demotic inscriptions on wood and stone are also known. During the Ptolemaic period it was regularly carved in stone. The most famous example of this is the Rosetta Stone, inscribed with texts in the Hieroglyphic script, Greek and Demotic and was a key to the decipherment of Ancient Egyptian scripts (Ager, online)

Hieroglyphics, used for monumental writing, have been proved to be the oldest
writing systems of the world (Mitchell 1999). Quite enthusiastic Theophile Obenga (1999/2000) calls Africa the "Cradle of Writing" and so does Tuchscherer (1999:55).
It must, however, be considered, that only a small number of specialists mastered the art of reading and writing hieroglyphs. Nowadays hieroglyphs are only used for decorative inscriptions and touristic objects

Hieroglyphic, Hieratic and Demotic are the scripts of ancient Egypt. All of them
distinguish between phonograms (sound symbols) and semograms (= idea writing) (Hieroglyphen-Info).

It cannot be denied that the passionate introduction of the Roman script in the colonial era by Christian missionaries and colonialists meant the first graphization of many African languages as well as a first introduction of mass alphabetization. But the missionaries were not really the first people to bring “enlightenment" to the continent in form of written communication, and their programs to introduce Roman script were neither the first nor the last attempts to graphize African languages in Roman script.
In the olden days Greek and Latin scripts were used in Northern Africa, but there is no information that the Greeks or Romans made efforts to spread the use of their scripts. As a third script Punic was used, out of which the Berber script Tifinagh developed. By the end of the 7th century CE all of these scripts were replaced within a fairly short time by the Arabic one (Haarmann 1990:414).
With regard to a number of languages in West, North-East and East Africa, the
introduction of the Roman script under colonialism by the missionaries caused the replacement of the earlier scripts. Ge'ez and Amharic, Tigrinya and Oromo were written in the Ethiopic script, and in Ethiopia, there was a tradition of written literature for fifteen centuries (Baumgardt & Bounfour 2000). Berber dialects were written in Tifinagh and in Arabic. Swahili, Somali, Hausa, Kanuri, Manding, Susu, Wolof and Fulfulde were written in adapted forms of the Arabic script, Ajami. For some of these

The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 132

The ancient Egyptians were dedicated astronomers, as illustrated by this schematic guide to the night sky that decorated a ceiling in the tomb of Senenmut (TT 353) at Deir el-Bahri. The figures represent constellations or protective deities, and the columns of text in the upper part list planets and stars known as the decans. The twelve circles in the lower part, each divided into twenty-four segments for the hours of the day and night, are labelled with the names of the months of the year.

Senenmut (48.149.7) was a high official in the court of Hatshepsut (29.3.2), Egypt's most successful female pharaoh.

About 1.000 years after the Arabs introduced their language and script in North Africa, peoples south of the Sahara began to write their languages in adapted forms of the Arabic script, Ajami.10 Since the 17th century religious texts and poetry were published in Kiswahili, Hausa, Kanuri, Fulfulde, Wolof and Bambara. Furthermore historical studies are documented in Hausa (cf. Pilaszewicz 2001) and journals in Fulfulde11 (Iro online). According to Prah (2004), even the earliest writings of Afrikaans were written in Arabic script.
Swahili literature in Arabic script was sufficiently important to motivate German colonial administrators, who had to learn Swahili, to also master Ajami (Bromber 2002). With regard to the introduction of the Latin script for Swahili, Hunwick (2005) states that "decoupling” of Swahili from the Arabic script may be regarded as a way of “de-islamising” the language. Romanization of Swahili was on the agenda of missionaries and later colonial officials and nationalist language-planners. The advantages of Roman script, however, may be fewer than what students of Swahili are usually told. As Frankl noted (1998:191-93, cit. in Hunwick 2005:27), there was "no particular reason to romanize Swahili; the language is no easier or more difficult to read in either script. The administration of German East Africa, throughout its duration, regarded Arab script (swah. Kiarabu) as normal, and made no effort to change it."

Since the pre-colonial and colonial discovery of the interior of Africa attempts
have been made, above all by Christian missionaries, to graphize African languages.
In many cases missionaries, researchers of various disciplines and colonial officers,
alongside their official duties, pursued their philological and linguistic interests in African languages combined with pedagogic ambitions (cf. Löhr 1997:79).
Besides purely scientific interests, a major aim was to provide education to the local population groups in their own languages and enable them to read the Bible in these very languages. A further aim was enable them to improve their conditions of living1, participate successfully in the new export oriented economy of the colonial powers and become "modern" people (cf. Hair 1967). While colonial administrations often made the missionaries' activities difficult, they cooperated successfully in other cases (Samarin 1989b:162-212).
Today most African languages with a writing system use modified forms of the
Roman or Latin2 alphabet. The majority of these writing systems were developed by Christian missionaries, who in cooperation with the colonial administrations tried to unify the writing systems.

6-day and IP Address Certificates are Generally Available

If you use Certbot, see Six-Day and IP Address Certificates Available in Certbot for details on requesting these certificates.

Short-lived and IP address certificates are now generally available from Let’s Encrypt. These certificates are valid for 160 hours, just over six days. In order to get a short-lived certificate subscribers simply need to select the ‘shortlived’ certificate profile in their ACME client.

Short-lived certificates improve security by requiring more frequent validation and reducing reliance on unreliable revocation mechanisms. If a certificate’s private key is exposed or compromised, revocation has historically been the way to mitigate damage prior to the certificate’s expiration. Unfortunately, revocation is an unreliable system so many relying parties continue to be vulnerable until the certificate expires, a period as long as 90 days. With short-lived certificates that vulnerability window is greatly reduced.

Short-lived certificates are opt-in and we have no plan to make them the default at this time. Subscribers that have fully automated their renewal process should be able to switch to short-lived certificates easily if they wish, but we understand that not everyone is in that position and generally comfortable with this significantly shorter lifetime. We hope that over time everyone moves to automated solutions and we can demonstrate that short-lived certificates work well.

Our default certificate lifetimes will be going from 90 days down to 45 days over the next few years, as previously announced.

IP address certificates allow server operators to authenticate TLS connections to IP addresses rather than domain names. Let’s Encrypt supports both IPv4 and IPv6. IP address certificates must be short-lived certificates, a decision we made because IP addresses are more transient than domain names, so validating more frequently is important.

web numbers!
So, given that working with IP addresses doesn’t have to be any more complicated than working with phone numbers, we’re left with the scariest thing about IP addresses (or Internet Protocol addresses as their mother calls them if they’re in trouble): the name itself.

So here’s what I propose:

On the Small Web, at least, let’s call them Web Numbers.
Web Numbers

Just like you have a phone number for your phone, you have a web number for your web site.

You store this web number in your address book.8

Easy!

8.Hey, you know the “bookmarks” feature every browser has? That would make one helluva an address book for Web Numbers, don’t you think? With address bar completion and everything… Or we could create browser extensions specifically for this purpose. And, who knows, maybe some browsers will eventually even support personal address books as a default feature to make Web Numbers even easier to use.
