The Diplomat, Season 3, by Debora Cahn. Mostly A narrative storytelling, with barely a concurrent B story line. The Wylers are at their best when they are defining a diplomatic position, as the work informs their interpersonal dynamics.

This document describes PNG (Portable Network Graphics), an extensible file format for the lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of static and animated raster images. PNG provides a patent-free replacement for GIF and can also replace many common uses of TIFF. Indexed-color, greyscale, and truecolor images are supported, plus an optional alpha channel. Sample depths range from 1 to 16 bits.

PNG is designed to work well in online viewing applications, such as the World Wide Web, so it is fully streamable with a progressive display option. PNG is robust, providing both full file integrity checking and simple detection of common transmission errors. Also, PNG can store color space data for improved color matching on heterogeneous platforms.

This specification defines two Internet Media Types, image/png and image/apng.

Wilentz on Notre Dame de l’Assomption (1883-2010). Good overlay of Haiti’s economic history; dubious of spaghetti sandwiches as indicator; not enough an appreciation of Haiti’s internationalism or its politics; the first black republic, and for that matter all republics, gets to determine how to fail its citizens(political infighting vs education).
