On Notation

There have been a number of occasions during my career where I have been approached to volunteer my time and project management skills to help out a volunteer or charitable organization. I’ve found those initiatives to be incredibly rewarding, but I’ve also found them to be rather stressful because I’ve felt a lot more pressure on me than in a “normal” project for an employer.

The importance of the creative industries is increasing in Europe. 

The latest survey conducted by EUIPO, (the European Union Intellectual Property Organisation,) shows that 45% of Europe's GDP is produced by fields related to intangible value creation.

Design alone creates 16%. Furthermore, employing almost 63 million people and accounting for 29% of Europe's work force, the value of Europe's IPR-intensive industries amounts to some €6,6 billion.

 The CSS Working Group has published a Proposed Recommendation of CSS Containment Module Level 1.

This CSS module describes the "contain" property, which indicates that the element’s subtree is independent of the rest of the page.

This enables heavy optimizations by user agents when used well.

 Comments are welcome through through 13 November 2019. at the following paths

 <https://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/members>
 <https://www.w3.org/TR/2019/PR-css-contain-1-20191015/>
 <https://www.w3.org/TR/2019/PR-css-contain-1-20191015/#propdef-contain>

 "CSS" is a language for describing the rendering of structured documents (such as HTML and XML) on screen, on paper, etc.

Here the spec:  <https://www.w3.org/TR/CSS/>

That lead us to the scenario case to confirm that, yes,de facto, CSS is a language.

And you all know, dearets readers, that language is nothing less than a virus from outta space. Used well.

Intelligent machines suffer from a fundamental inability to perceive or make use of context—the circumstances or information that surround and give meaning to the tasks they perform. Humans rely on prior knowledge and situational awareness gleaned from multiple sources of information to take theright actions at the right times, but machines see only the task directly in front of them.
