![]() New sidenotes are best added using the sidenote_add.jsx script. The script creates the same six items that were described above. To set up sidenotes in a document and add notes manually later, just run the sidenotes script in that document. An object style for the note frames is added, called "sidenote". ![]() A cross-reference format is created, called "sidenote".Any following paragraphs in the same note use "Footnotes". So if you used the paragraph style "Footnotes" for your footnotes, then the script creates "Footnotes_numbered" and uses that for the first paragraph in every note. Any paragraphs after the first one in the note use the style without "_numbered". The paragraph style used for the document's footnotes is used for the sidenotes "_numbered" is added to the style's name.A numbered list is added for use in the paragraph style's bullet & numbering section, using the character style created in (2) for the note number.A character style is created for the note numbers.If a character style is set for the note references in the document's footnote options, then that style is used, otherwise the script creates a new character style.The script first creates and/or recycles some styles and some other required items. Click OK or press Enter/Return to run the script.Īll details (such as typeface, pointsize, width, and the position of the notes) are handled by styles so that any options you want to change are to be changed in the styles see Some details, below. At Paragraph style: you can limit the scope of the script to footnotes that use a particular paragraph style. To suppress all numbering, uncheck the box. At Numbering you indicate whether the notes should be numbered: check this box to add note numbers and references in the text. You're asked to enter several things: the width of the sidenote textframes and the distance between the sidenote and the main text. It displays this dialog (the values shown are script defaults): Open the document whose footnotes you want to convert to sidenotes and run the script. You can convert all notes or just notes that use a selected paragraph style. The script (sidenotes.jsx) converts footnotes in a document to sidenotes. When new notes are added, the numbers are updated automatically. The notes are added to the document as anchored text frames, so that when the main text is edited, the notes travel with the note references. The screenshot shows an example of a document whose footnotes have been converted to sidenotes. Like InDesign's footnotes, sidenotes can be numbered by document, by section, by spread, or by page. A second script can be used to create new notes in a document. (After finishing the scripts and these pages I became aware of Martin Fischer's script dealing with sidenotes in CS3 – see this thread on The script can be used to set up sidenotes in a new document, too, both numbered and unnumbered notes. Based on the method for dynamic endnotes first outlined by Peter Gold and formalised in InDesign by Bob Bringhurst, and following on from the scripted approach of this method (see Dynamic endnotes), this page provides scripts to convert InDesign footnotes to sidenotes (or "margin notes") and to set up a sidenote system in new documents. ![]() 64-bit users should download this version.

Giant wind farms off the coasts of South America, Alaska and in the North Sea will generate the remainder of the planet’s energy needs. New Zealand, sparsely populated in our time, will also be transformed into a high-density population centre.

If the planet hits 3 degrees, Climate Central reports that roughly 43 million people in China will live on land projected to be below high-tide levels by 2100, with 200 million people living in areas at risk of sea level rise over the longer term.This map offers an alternative: lots of misery and disaster, but also plenty of hope and solutions. Most regions around the world, it said, must reach peak fossil fuel production now or within the next decade to avoid the critical climate threshold.Īt the UN General Assembly in September, China made a major climate pledge as one of the world’s largest emitters of greenhouse gases: the country will no longer build any new coal-fired power projects abroad, marking a shift in policy around its sprawling Belt and Road infrastructure initiative, which had already begun to dwindle its coal initiatives. In September, a study published in the journal Nature found nearly 60% of the planet’s remaining oil and natural gas and 90% of its coal reserves should remain in the ground by 2050 to have a higher chance of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

I don’t recount these stories for sympathy. The same is true of other bigotries once hate is cloaked in coded language and euphemisms, it typically goes unchallenged. When the bigotry moves beyond swastikas and slurs to conspiratorial anti-Semitism-the sort made infamous most recently by Ye-Twitter, like most social-media companies, has never really tried to fix it. When I reported this content, Twitter said it did not violate their terms of service, and backtracked only after embarrassing media coverage.Īnd that’s just the obvious stuff. In 2019, an account impersonated me and Photoshopped a swastika onto a photograph of a baby, claiming that it was my son. In 2017, Twitter banned the bot and left the Nazis. After the election, I built a bot that exposed neo-Nazi accounts impersonating Jews and other minorities on the platform. Twitter subsequently vowed to clean up its act, but though some strides were made, most anti-Semitic bigotry remained. An Anti-Defamation League study found that I received the second-most abuse of Jewish commentators on the site during that cycle. During the 2016 presidential-election campaign, I was inundated with anti-Semitic invective on Twitter over my critical commentary on Donald Trump’s candidacy. Because as it turns out, whether viral misinformation or rampant bigotry, most of Twitter’s pathologies that people are pinning on Musk predate his ownership. I note all of this not to exculpate Twitter but to indict it. As both Musk and Yoel Roth, Twitter’s longtime safety chief, have said, the site’s content policies have not changed. But the rapper’s account had never been suspended it was merely locked following his recent anti-Semitic outburst, which the corrected article now notes. “Ye’s Twitter account appears to be no longer suspended as Elon Musk takes the helm of the company,” reported Bloomberg. “Hours into Twitter’s Elon Musk era, the company has apparently undone its ban on the term ‘groomer’ as a slur against LGBTQ+ people,” wrote The Advocate, when the term had never been banned in the first place. Others have suggested that Musk’s reign has introduced a new era of bigotry on the platform, thanks to allegedly lax moderation policies. (In fact, Twitter’s nascent crowdsourced fact-checking system, Birdwatch, quickly labeled the video in question as misleading, though as usual, this did not stop it from spreading.) “Is this what we are to expect on Twitter moving forward: zero content moderation or fact checking?” asked one Democratic political consultant, seemingly without irony. When a doctored video of former President Barack Obama being mocked at a Wisconsin rally went viral, the writer James Surowiecki rightly lamented, “Account posts totally fake video of Obama, presenting it as real, and it’s retweeted and replied to by thousands of people who think it’s real.” But he prefaced this observation with the words “New Twitter,” as though this didn’t routinely happen on the Old Twitter. Read: Elon Musk’s disastrous weekend on TwitterĪnd yet, in the days since Elon Musk took control of the site, users have taken to blaming this problem and the platform’s other long-standing issues on him. ( It didn’t the channel decided to stop broadcasting there, because of a lack of viewers.) Simply put, Twitter has been a fire hose of ideologically motivated misinformation for years. ( He didn’t the story was from 2008.) And the United Kingdom banned Fox News. ( It wasn’t it had been that way for years.) In a parody of performative progressivism, President Joe Biden inaugurated a line of environmentally friendly bombs. According to popular posts made by users of the site, the Merriam-Webster-dictionary definition of anti-vaxxer was changed in 2021 to include those who oppose vaccine mandates. In the virtual world of Twitter, this was not an isolated incident. Meanwhile, in the real world, Cubans protested in the streets over vaccine scarcity, while China continues its draconian zero-COVID lockdown policy. As of this writing, it is still up on the social-media site. The false claim received more than 56,000 retweets and 252,000 likes.

The browser extension keeps an eye on the websites you're visiting, alerting you of privacy issues and any potentially suspicious files you may encounter. Your privacy is protectedĪ lot of antivirus software includes extra security features like browser extensions. Even if you do get infected with malware, if your antivirus prevents it from transmitting outwards, it'll reduce the damage caused. That's because if you do happen to be infected with malware, it often tries to transmit data out, trying to communicate with remote systems to achieve its usually dastardly goal.īy monitoring network traffic, your antivirus software can stop this ever happening. Most antivirus software monitors your network trafficĪn increasing number of antivirus software tools monitor your network traffic to see what's coming into your PC as well as what's going out. The latter is particularly useful when your antivirus software uses behavioral analysis to detect an issue rather than known so-called signature files that guarantee you have a virus.Īny extra layer of protection means that the suspicious file is kept away from the rest of the computer, giving you the chance to either delete it or choose to interact with it in some form. That means you can run the file without affecting your system files, effectively testing it out to see if it's safe or not. That can be a simple matter of stopping you from opening the file, but some antivirus software also moves it to a 'sandbox' environment. When an antivirus software tool detects malicious code, it automatically moves it away from danger. Manual scans also give you a sense of control, meaning you're always in charge of your PC and its contents. A manual scan can be particularly helpful if you want to scan one specific file you may have downloaded, checking to see if it is as safe as you hope it is. While any good antivirus software monitors your files automatically, it's always useful to run an occasional manual scan to confirm that everything is safe. Antivirus software allows for manual scanning It's a far more effective solution than relying on only finding known viruses or malware as it's quicker and more prone to spotting new threats before your software has been updated. This is known as a form of behavior analysis and machine learning with the software detecting so-called zero-day threats before the company even officially knows it's a problem. ![]() Many advanced antivirus software tools also detect if a file behaves strangely or acts like a virus, even though it doesn't know for sure that it's the case. Each virus scanner has its own database of known viruses and malware, so the moment it spots one of those files, it gives you a heads up while blocking off the threat. Antivirus software uses a few different methods to detect suspicious files. ![]() It had been trapped there years before, shortly after his original brain was replaced by that of the evil peasant Ygor.
