5 things to consider when creating your CSS style guide
April 28, 2019 4 min read 1393
A CSS style guide is a set of standards and rules on how to use and write CSS code. It often contains global branding definitions like colors and typography and a set of reusable components for building a more consistent and maintainable project.
CSS style guides should be considered an equal citizen of every project requirement.
There is more than one definition of what the style guide is. For example, Wikipedia says:
"A style guide (or manual of style) is a set of standards for the writing and design of documents, either for general use or for a specific publication, organization, or field. (…)
A style guide establishes and enforces style to improve communication. To do that, it ensures consistency within a document and across multiple documents and enforces best practice in usage and in language composition, visual composition, orthography and typography."
CSS Guidelines site/Harry Roberts says:
"(CSS styleguide should contain) High-level advice and guidelines for writing sane, manageable, scalable CSS."
Google HTML/CSS Style Guide says:
"This document defines formatting and style rules for HTML and CSS. It aims at improving collaboration, code quality, and enabling supporting infrastructure."
All of these definitions are telling us the primary mission of the style guide: to help each other understand how to read, write and use the code. It is vital to know that every style guide is unique and its definitions, principles, and structure should be a team effort, rather than a persuasive way to follow someone's logic or idea.
Here are five things that you should keep in mind when working with CSS style guides.
Define coding format
Every style guide has a set of rules that should help every person on the project write the code in the same manner. By following these rules, developers could avoid typical problems in every-day tasks, like merge conflicts and linting errors. Your team could agree on indentation preference to spaces or tabs early in the project. Other common rules are tab width, adding new lines at the end of the document, and usage of quotation signs.
For example, WordPress Style Guide defines the structure for writing CSS declarations:
WordPress Style Guide
There are tools like Prettier or editorconfig that could help your team produce well-formatted code. Make sure you include the configuration file in the project. In addition, you might want to add a note in the README file about how to set up the code formatting in different code editors.
Agree on the naming convention
There are many different naming conventions for CSS. The most popular ones are BEM, SMACSS, and OOCSS, to name just a few. If your team decides to adapt to the naming convention, every developer should understand the structure of the component. The code would feel like it is written by a single person, which would improve readability. Additionally, isolating CSS naming convention from JS naming convention is always a good idea.
For example, Lonely Planet uses BEM as a naming convention:
Lonely Planet Style Guide, BEM example
"Naming things is hard but worth getting right. To make it somewhat simpler we use the BEM methodology within class names. BEM also helps us to avoid cross module collisions and to signify intent and relationships from the classnames."
— Lonely Planet, Naming
Not every developer would agree about the naming convention, but as long as every developer follows it, that is all that matters. That is one of the reasons why style guides shouldn't be the responsibility of a single developer, but a collaborative effort made with every developer in mind. It wouldn't hurt to put a note about the naming convention decision somewhere like in the README file.
I prefer using BEM on almost every project. I am also familiar with other naming conventions. It is with worth familiarizing yourself with all of the naming conventions as that can be helpful primarily if you work on multiple projects or with multiple teams.
Define coding rules
Coding rules should include decisions about defining global styles, variables, mixins, functions and more. These coding rules could be about anything, from typography to unit usage.
For example, Lonely Planet defines typography usage. The team decided that style collisions across projects could be avoided by not establishing typography globally, but by applying a particular class to a wrapper element. I could only guess, but I assume the team made this decision after they noticed the problem, then discussed it and finally come with an agreement. I might disagree about this issue, but if I were a part of the team, I would understand where they were coming from.
Lonely Planet Style Guide, Typography section
Once the team agrees on every rule, you should stick to it. No further discussion on this subject is needed. That could save your team so much time. It should also prevent possible disagreements and arguments between team members, too.
For example, Primer defines four major breakpoints. By identifying these breakpoints, the creative team could design pages and components within these limitations, and the development team could style those pages and elements more easily without further guessing or discussing the breakpoints.
Primer Style Guide, Breakpoints section
I prefer to define colors, typography, and breakpoints as global variables. That helps me build a brand that is more consistent, recognizable and discoverable.
Define reusable components (if they are a part of your style guide)
Some style guides include reusable components, and some don't. It doesn't matter what you keep in your style guide, as long as it helps the team to build a better, maintainable product.
When components are part of the style guide, you should take into consideration some of the following questions:
How would the component behave if you place it in the different part of the site/app?
How would the component behave if you put it inside another element?
Could you break the component into smaller reusable items?
Style guide components should always be isolated particles of the product. By resolving this criterion, you could maintain, update or even replace the component more efficiently.
For example, Primer defines a popover component. The content of the popover bubble could be another component, like a button. If the primary button changes, it would be updated across every component, including the popover.
Primer Style Guide, Popover section
A good practice is to add variations to your components. You should isolate variations, too. If you need an element that has a different text size and alignment, then consider using two separate variation classes for this particular component.
When the same variations appear on more than one component, then you could consider adding utility class. Utility classes often solve problems like alignment, paddings, and margins.
For example, Primer defines utility classes for padding. A popover component uses a utility class to achieve consistent spacing with other components.
I don't prefer adding utility classes to a project, but if you could justify the decision of adding them, go for it.
Consider using a tool for a style guide
Some tools, like KSS or mdcss or Stylemark or Nucleus, could help you generate style guide right from the code. All of these tools work on the same principle, a documenting syntax, that would parse comments from your code and compile it as static pages.
Some tools, like Stylemark and mdcss, support Markdown syntax, which could be useful if you are familiar with it.
Stylemark Style Guide example
As a global rule, besides providing examples, it is advisable to write the purpose of the component, how to use it, and which modifiers could be applied.
Stylemark Style Guide, Bootstrap example
If you don't prefer generating a style guide automatically, you could create it manually. Any method would work, as long as it does not take too much time.
I prefer using KSS and Stylemark because I could set up and configure a new style guide within minutes. I haven't stumbled upon any problems so far. I find these tools have all requirements to create a robust, and easy to use documents.
Each style guide has or should have the same goals — to improve consistency and usability. By standardizing your code, and by applying uniform design principles, you could create a unique cookbook with "dos and don'ts" that could help your team build the product more efficiently and consistently.

Simon Whalley Discusses Global Food Culture and Culinary Traditions
Food plays a vital and celebrated role in the traditions of every culture in the world. It is associated with religious ceremonies, social events, families, friends, and all aspects of life. While each culture has its own unique traditions that may differ greatly, the fact remains that every culture has food traditions. Many of these are strongly associated with certain times of year, and particularly with celebrations.
Many of the traditions celebrated today are rooted in religion, marking significant religious holidays – and almost every religious holiday, no matter what the faith, has some customs relating to food. Sometimes people may fast for a certain holiday, or eat certain foods and celebrate with traditional meals.
In many countries in eastern Europe including the Ukraine, Russia and eastern Poland, families traditionally share a bowl of a porridge-type meal called kutya made from wheat berries, poppy seeds, and honey. This meal is shared on Christmas Eve as a symbol of hope and immortality.
During the Jewish festival of Hannukah, families gravitate towards oily foods symbolic of the oil used to light the lamp in the story behind the festival. Israeli Jews often prepare sufganiyot, which is a type of fried jelly doughnut, while Jews around the world feast on a type of potato pancake called a latke.
The Muslim faith includes the festival of Ramadan, which takes place over a whole month. During this month, the observant will fast from sunrise until sunset each day, breaking the fast as the sun goes down with a nightly meal called iftar, which features numerous dishes including traditional salads, soups, and meats.
The new year is a time for new beginnings and as such, many cultures have food traditions which symbolise hope and good fortune. One Spanish tradition is to eat a single grape for every toll of the clock as it chimes midnight. In the Netherlands, the traditional food to be eaten at new year celebrations is oliebollen, which is a type of fried sweet dumpling. Since the 17th century, it has been the custom in many Japanese households to see the new year in by eating buckwheat soba noodles at midnight. The long noodles represent prosperity and longevity.
The African festival of Kwanzaa takes place over seven days from the 26th December. It is a relatively new festival, having begun in the 1960s, but is rooted in the much older custom of celebrating the first fruits to be harvested. Families indulge in feasts featuring plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables alongside favourite foods such as benne cakes and fried okra.
UNESCO World Heritage Food Traditions
Some food traditions around the globe have become so deeply ingrained in their cultures that UNESCO felt the need to preserve them by granting them World Heritage status. Some examples of cuisines recognised by UNESCO include Washoku, or traditional Japanese cooking, the Mediterranean diet and its processes and rituals, and traditional Turkish coffee such as that found at the kaveh kanes, or coffee houses, that are prevalent throughout the country.

Home How To How To Enable Google Chrome Dark Mode On Windows?
Step 1: Download the latest version of Google Chrome Canary.
Step 2: Right click on the shortcut created on the desktop and click on properties.
Step 4: Click on "Apply" and then "Okay".
That's it, That's all you need to do to activate the Dark mode Chrome on your windows pc. After you've followed these easy steps, this is how it will look. You might notice that the dark mode looks very similar to the incognito mode of Chrome.
The official dark modes for the browser from Microsoft, the Microsoft edge was released back in April 2018. After this update from Microsoft, Google Chrome was expected to release a version for the chrome soon. But due to some bugs in the programme, the release was postponed. Although we will definitely see a version from Google later this year, the delay can't be speculated.


I mentioned that my sister and I went on a gokon before we left Japan. Still not sure if it was actually meant to be a date or just dinner with friends but it was a lot of fun - and what's the point of getting too romantic on your last night in the country.
So where do you go for date night? The Antonio Inoki Saka Bar is where.
To be fair, we were intending to go there anyway and, when the guys contact us, we told them they were welcome to join us.
I don't really know much about Antonio Inoki apart from seeing him being frequently impersonated by celebrities on Japanese TV. The bar itself is more like a theme restaurant.
When you enter the bar, the staff ring a wrestling bell and everyone cheers. Actually when we entered, it was mostly empty and not many people cheered but as the place filled up the cheers got louder.
There are photos of Inoki and displays of merchandise everywhere and screens playing his wrestling matches against people like Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant. The bar area is set up like a wrestling ring and there are "cage" areas. I wanted to get photos of my sister and I having a mock cage match but forgot until after I left.
The food is a mix of Western and Japanese. We had cheesy potato skins which were freaken awesome and a mini nabe and some other stuff that I've forgotten and not taken photos of.
Mini nabe - a little bit dangerous if you sit too close to it!
The photo is blurry because my camera could not contain the awesome of these potato skins! They actually had some wrestling inspired name that was very hard to work out in katakana.
The best item on the menu though is the salad! Not for the taste (though it was quite good) but because of the serving style. You had to call out, in the style of Inoki's famous cheer: "Ichi, ni, san, da! Salada!" with appropriate gestures. That was freaken awesome and I got very excited every time someone ordered it.
We had a pretty awesome time and it wasn't that expensive. The only down side was that that I think I got stiffed on drinks. I had about 6-8 lemon sours and finished the night being sensible about going home to pack and clean so they obviously weren't very strong!
I think the Antonio Inoki Saka Bar is the type of place you either love or hate. If you love theme restaurants and getting into the spirit of things, it's a heap of fun. But if you think you're too cool for skool, you are going to hate it.

Reactions to CMA nominations predictably are happy
Friday, August 31, 2007 – No one complained about being nominated for Country Music Association awards, which were announced Thursday.
Emerson Drive found out about their two CMA nominations while rolling down the highway. "We got the wake up call of the year this morning. We were on our bus headed to our gig in Ohio when we got a call telling us about our CMA nominations for Vocal Group of the Year and Music Video of the Year. What a great way to wake up!" says Brad Mates of Emerson Drive.
Sarah Buxton received her first ever CMA nomination. As one of the writers on "Stupid Boy," recorded by Keith Urban, Buxton earned a nomination for CMA Song of the Year.
"I was already having a great day when I got the phone call from my manager that 'Stupid Boy' was nominated" she said. "Me (and co-writers) Dave and Deanna were excited to have Keith record the song and now this - it's over the top! I couldn't be happier!"
Buxton joins co-writers Dave Berg and Deanna Bryant as nominees for "Stupid Boy" for CMA Song of the Year.
Tracy Lawrence was nominated in the Musical Event Of The Year category for the song "Find Out Who Your Friends Are" featuring Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney.
"I can honestly say, I found out who my friends are this year," said Lawrence who released his latest album on his own label in January. "I am humbled by the overwhelming support of country radio and so many of my friends and colleagues in the music industry, a business that I dearly love. I've been given the privilege of a career doing what I love to do...entertaining. There is a tremendous amount of hard work and competition, but this business is my passion. It's sort of like running for office, but the campaigning never ceases. I assembled a very strong team around me and I feel very proud of our accomplishment."

Headlights, Taillights and Radios
After a successful Kickstarter campaign, Tracy Lawrence has resurfaced with his 13th studio album. Released on his own label, "Headlights, Taillights and Radios" is an 11-track radio friendly album that is polished with a contemporary gloss. As always, the melodies are simple, the hooks infectious and the voice unmistakable. The single Footprints On The Moon is country's answer to Train's Drops Of Jupiter. Let's catch a ride on a shooting star We'll wave goodbye ...
Sarah Buxton
Sarah Buxton had to wait for the chance to release her own music after a few singles misfired, but she did not sit still. She wrote a hit song (Stupid Boy) for Keith Urban, chalked two ACM noms for Best New Vocalist and got personal encouragement from Stevie Nicks and John Rich. So here is the actual record, after her digital-only 2007 release, "Almost My Record." It covers a lot of the same ground (five songs) from that introduction. But there are some key additions: the first being ...
On the heels of his successful Tim McGraw-Kenny Chesney collaboration, Find Out Who Your Friends Are, Tracy Lawrence's latest is an uplifting set filled with Christian songs in the vein of Randy Travis' "Rise and Shine." The songs here don't quite have the same lyrical punch as some of Travis' work, but it is a solid album nonetheless. Lawrence's warm baritone and effortless, emotional delivery make each track sound genuine and heartfelt. I'm Done is a ...


Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by l0gan5, Aug 11, 2010.
sorry to trouble you, I have had a look through a number of threads but would like advise before proceeding further.
My goal is to take my one-week old Vodafone Desire running 1.24.161.3 and HBoot 0.83 and update it with stock Froyo.
I got as far as Unrevoked telling me it had installed the ClockWorkMod and that my phone should reboot in recovery mode, however at this point the phone did nothing, just sat there with a black screen. I pulled the battery and the phone restarted as normal but I cannot see any reference to ClockWorkMod when I switch on holding volume down and power ?
As far as I can tell I have root access as I can SU using Terminal, Titanium Backup installed ok and there is a SuperUser Permission app in All Programs.
But I'm not sure where to go from here ?
Also how do I tell whether my phone has Amoled or SLCD ? It's a UK model.
Vodafone has said that the froyo update will not be branded, and will be out in a week or two, so you may want to wait.
You have SLCD because of the black screen on recovery.
edit: although since you have rooted, you probably won't get the update OTA now.
Still not sure what I should be doing next ?
If you want to install a custom ROM (like pre-rooted official froyo), you just need to reinstall unrevoked3 with the updated image contained in that FAQ. That will fix the black screen.
It's difficult for you to install the official unbranded software because of your software version (which means you cannot upgrade to froyo OTA), so this is your best option.
Not sure if I've messed things up installing ClockworkMod ?
As I said above, you just need to reinstall unrevoked3 with an updated image. Your phone isn't bricked.
OK, I have done the Unrevoked3 again which worked!
Software is now showing 2.09.405.8.
It feels incredibly fast too.


Family support: Vanessa (second from right) being congratulated by (from left) sister Sylvia Kavita Kumares, mother Rose Mary Tan and father Kumares Raja Retnam after the press conference.
ONE young woman's life was changed forever as she was crowned Miss Universe Malaysia 2015 at midnight on Friday in front of an audience of some 700 people at the Shangri-La Hotel, Kuala Lumpur.
Tourism management graduate Vanessa Tevi Kumares, 24, was ecstatic when she was called to receive her crown and sash from outgoing Miss Universe Malaysia Sabrina Beneett.
The thrill-seeking Indian-Chinese beauty from Negri Sembilan, who works in a hotel in Singapore, thanked the organisers for the incredible journey that brought the finalists to that special moment.
"I hope that Malaysians will be patient with me as I learn and grow, and with all of your support, I will do my best to bring Malaysia to a whole new level at Miss Universe next year," she said at a press conference.
As one of the 17 Miss Universe finalists, Vanessa spent the past four weeks competing for a spot as one of the top six finalists in intense televised challenges, which saw the elimination of contestants in a style akin to reality television shows.
national director Carey Ng (third from right) on stage with the top four finalists – newly crowned winner Vanessa (second from left), first runner-up Tan (left), second runner-up Kelly (second from right) and third runner-up Sugeeta (right).
Having survived the elimination rounds, she went on to impress the judges at the Gala Night and beat a few fan favourites to the title.
Though many disgruntled fans took to social media the next morning to voice their disappointment over their favourite contestants losing out, many others also voiced support for the newly crowned beauty queen.
"The judges chose her because they saw a spark in her that gave her potential to represent the country. We want to hone that spark so that in due time, she will be ready to bring a good name to Malaysia on the international stage," said Miss Universe Malaysia Organisation national director Carey Ng.
For winning the title, Vanessa took home a lucrative cash prize of RM50,000 plus over RM180,000 worth of sponsored prizes consisting of vouchers and numerous products and services.
Queen of the right: Vanessa waving to the crowd after she was crowned Miss Universe Malaysia 2015.
First, second and third runners-up Pauline Tan, Kelly Jagan and Sugeeta Chandran also walked away with prizes for their superb performance throughout the competition.
A few subsidiary titles were also awarded during the show. Gloria Tneh was presented with the Miss Naza Maserati Elegance title, Sugeeta the Female Miss Photogenic title while Tan won the Miss mydentist.my Winning Smile title. The Miss Body Beautiful title went to Meera Maniar.
An additional secret subsidiary title, Miss Talent, was awarded to April Tang by the judges.

Serpent Daughter – Snippet 38
by Drak Bibliophile | Oct 21, 2020 | OtherAuthors, Snippets
Was he prepared to make his leap?
"Mr. Franklin," he called.
Temple Franklin groaned as he levered himself down from the top of a prison wagon. He gripped iron-bar handles set into the sides of the vehicle, and hissed at a prisoner who stretched a dirty hand with ragged nails toward him.
"I am not yet interested in having my coat cleaned, Gottlieb," Franklin grunted, striking the ground with both feet. "Rest assured, I will tell you when I am, and I will also credit you this evening with another round of very flattering groveling."
"Forgive me, I was hoping you could watch the Parlett boy for a moment. I have an urgent matter of hygiene to attend to."
"Do not mistake fashionable neatness for what is necessary for the organism," Franklin grumbled. "There are no ladies present."
Gottlieb laughed. In other circumstances, he'd have fawned upon Franklin at greater length, but he imagined vividly that he could feel the point of a dagger pressing into his back, so he abandoned his trunk and scurried around the side of the inn.
A leaning outhouse stood in the mud behind the building, a few steps from the forest, but Gottlieb ignored it and pressed himself against the inn's wall. Creeping to the lone glass window, scattering a line of ducks as he went, he peered inside, and saw the man the muleskinner had referenced — he was tall, dressed like a soldier, and armed, with saber, pistol, and rifle. If it came to an open fight, the other man had the advantages of better weapons and a longer reach.
Gottlieb could not let it come to an open fight.
He could grab a horse from the stable and flee, but Gottlieb was no great rider. Best to seize the initiative here and now.
He opened the back door to the common room and entered. The other man was fixed on watching through the windows, and didn't hear Gottlieb approach, stepping softly among the farmers and herdsmen and muleskinners who were settling in to a tankard of beer and a tin plate of beef stew.
"Are you looking for three brothers, by any chance?" Gottlieb murmured.
The man jerked about, and Gottlieb saw that he had his hand on the hilt of a long belt knife. The surprise on the man's face quickly smoothed over. "I have two brothers. We each came from a different mother and father."
Lying, two-faced brother. He had come to kill Gottlieb. Gottlieb smiled warmly; years of licking Thomas's boots was better training than any the Conventicle provided for being false-faced. "Such brothers would be a marvel to remember until the end of days."
They clasped hands.
"I have important intelligence," Gottlieb whispered. The man had come to kill him, so Gottlieb must do whatever he could to push back the moment of reckoning and create space in which he could act. "I had intended to use a dead drop in Talamatan, but this is urgent. Did you notice the young man I am traveling with?"
The taller man glanced out the window at the Parlett boy. "Is he someone of importance?"
Gottlieb nodded. "Is it safe to talk here?"
The other man's eyes darted about the inn's common room. "Clearly not. There's a small wood outside."
Gottlieb led the way. He deliberately turned his back on the other man. It would avoid arousing suspicion; at the same time, if Gottlieb had successfully aroused the other fellow's curiosity, he wouldn't stab Gottlieb in the back. Still, Gottlieb felt sweat trickle down his spine as he walked out into the cool, humid evening again.
"Not too close to the outhouse," the other man said. "Someone might be in there."
"Do you take me for a fool?" Gottlieb asked in his most vacuous voice. "My name is Gottlieb Voigt."
"Onacona Mohuntubby."
Gottlieb stalked through mud to a tangle of redbud and butternut trees, still dotted with a few fading pink and yellow blossoms. "The thing about that young man," he said over his shoulder, "is that he's an arcane communication device."
Across the river, he saw lights. But he heard and saw no one who could possibly witness what he was about to do.
"What's it doing out here in the Ohio?" Mohuntubby asked.
What's it doing out here in the Ohio?
Why would Mohuntubby wonder that the Parlett boy should be in Ohio, unless he had reason to believe the boy was elsewhere?
Mohuntubby knew exactly what the Parlett boy was, and was surprised to see him not at Horse Hall. Mohuntubby was playing stupid, he knew more than he was saying. Mohuntubby was trying to trick Gottlieb.
"The emperor." Gottlieb kept walking. "Horse Hall has another such device, but this is going –"
He deliberately stepped toe down, driving the point of his own shoe into the mud. This made it easy for him to stagger and slip onto one knee.
"Mist!" he cursed, and slipped a dagger into his right hand. He raised his left, as if trying to get his balance. Onacona Mohuntubby grabbed Gottleib's left arm to steady him. Gottlieb stood, firm and balanced on his left foot but dragging his right to make a loud sucking noise as he turned — and slashed Mohuntubby across the belly.
Mohuntubby fell to the ground. In the evening shadow, Gottlieb could still make out the astonished expression on the fellow's face, but then the Conventicle man pulled his pistol and aimed it at Gottlieb.
"Slippery bastard," Mohuntubby hissed.
"Two-faced liar," Gottlieb spat. "You came here to kill me."
"You were discovered. I came here to give you the opportunity to kill yourself. That was your oath, Voigt."
"What if I can serve the Conventicle and Franklin's vision better by living?"
"That's not your decision to make." Mohuntubby shuddered. The bloodstain spreading across his stomach and chest was dark and enormous.
"You recognized the Parletts," Gottlieb said. "You've come from the camp of Notwithstanding Schmidt."
"Go to hell." Mohuntubby raised his pistol.
"If you shoot me, we're both exposed." Gottlieb smiled.
Mohuntubby's pistol wobbled.
"You're dying," Gottlieb said. "If you die, I bury you. The Conventicle has lost one man, doubtless a good man, but that is all. If we both die out here, questions get asked. Why did an Imperial soldier, assigned to the bodyguard of Imperial Ohio Company Director Schmidt, fight a duel to the mutual death with the body servant of the Emperor Thomas?"
"Or," Onacona Mohuntubby said, "I kill you and I live." He pointed his pistol at Gottlieb's chest and squeezed the trigger.
"Mud in your firing pan, I expect," Gottlieb said. "Bad luck. Do you want to try again?"
"That's it, then." Gottlieb smiled his condolences. "Would you like me to stand here and watch as you bleed out, or shall I end it for you?"
Mohuntubby grabbed for his knife. Gottlieb stepped forward in the same moment and stomped with the wooden heel of his shoe on the inside of the other man's elbow. Mohuntubby gasped, and with his left hand he grabbed Gottlieb, nails clawing, fingers groping for the body servant's eyes.
Gottlieb dropped to one knee again, this time cracking Mohuntubby's sternum with his weight, and then stabbing his dagger into the other man's throat.
Mohuntubby died twitching and gurgling.
When his opponent was finally still, Gottlieb stood up. His own arms shook — he'd killed the Parlett boy in Horse Hall, but that young man had barely been able to resist. It had been a long time since Gottlieb Voigt had fought someone capable of striking back. He looked around; the inn continued its previous soft bustle. In the quiet of the evening, he could hear the moaning of prisoners in the wagons on the far side of the building.
Gottlieb didn't want to draw attention to the Conventicle. He stripped off Mohuntubby's army coat, too big for Gottlieb, but warm, and set it aside. He took the man's pistol and shooting accouterments, and knife as well, and his boots. Then he dragged Onacona Mohuntubby's body to the latrine; lifting the neatly hinged seat, he slid the body slowly inside.
Mohuntubby's boots fit better than his coat did. Gottlieb filled his new coat pockets with his new pistol and knife, checked to be sure that his money belt was in position, cleaned and sheathed his dagger, and then turned and walked away from the inn in a straight line.


The S in IRS stands for Santa Claus.
Happy tax day! The average tax refund has been about $2,831 so far this year, up 1.5% from the same period last year. You could use that check to do boring, sensible things, like pay off student loans, start your future children's college fund, or donate to charity–or, you could go on a triumphant spending spree and blow it all on these design-y gifts to your eminently deserving self. Here, exactly $2,831 worth of loot the government now owes you. Maybe someday, instead of sending checks, they'll just send grab bags filled with these 15 items, including ostrich pillows, DIY computer kits, and glow-in-the-dark bicycles. Did you know the S in IRS stands for Santa Claus?

Q: React Native, store information before app exits Is this at all possible? I'm currently using react-native-track-player to stream audio files and I would love to be able to store the last position when my users exit the app and resume when they re-open (e.g. similar to how Spotify works)
Right now I'm tracking this info via a simple interval:
this.keepTime = setInterval(async () => {
  const state = await TrackPlayer.getState()
  if (state == TrackPlayer.STATE_PLAYING) {
    const ID = await TrackPlayer.getCurrentTrack()
    const position = await TrackPlayer.getPosition()
    await AsyncStorage.setItem(ID, String(position))
  }
}, 10000)

Problem is, I need to clear the interval when my app moves to the background or else it will crash. I would also much rather only need to call this code once as opposed to periodically if that is possible.
I know I could use headless JS on android but the app is cross platform, so my iOS user experience would be lesser.
Any suggestions?

A: I think you can use componentWillUnmount() function for this.

A: You could add a listener to get the App State and then log the position when it goes to background.

class App extends React.Component {
  state = {
    appState: AppState.currentState
  }

  componentDidMount() {
    AppState.addEventListener('change', this.handleAppStateChange);
  }

  componentWillUnmount() {
    AppState.removeEventListener('change', this.handleAppStateChange);
    this.saveTrackPosition();
  }

  handleAppStateChange = (nextAppState) => {
    if (nextAppState.match(/inactive|background/) && this.state.appState === 'active') {
      this.saveTrackPosition();
    }
    this.setState({appState: nextAppState});
  }

  saveTrackPosition = () => {
    if (state == TrackPlayer.STATE_PLAYING) {
      const ID = await TrackPlayer.getCurrentTrack()
      const position = await TrackPlayer.getPosition()
      await AsyncStorage.setItem(ID, String(position))
    }
  }
}

Q: How can I write same code using python range()? #In C/C++, I can have the following loop#
for(int j = i * i; j <= N ;j += i)
#How do the same thing in Python?#

A: this might work:
from itertools import count

N = 11**2
i = 2
for j in count(start=i**2, step=i):
    if j**2 > N:
        break
    print(j)

itertools.count starts at i**2 this way and counts up in steps of i. then i use the break statement to break the loop if the condition j**2 > N is met.

A Saturated Strategy Robustly Ensures Stability of the Cooperative Equilibrium for Prisoner's Dilemma
Dario Bauso, Dario Bauso, Giulia Giordano, Franco Blanchini, Giulia Giordano
Risultato della ricerca: Other › peer review
1 Citazioni (Scopus)
We study diffusion of cooperation in a two-population game in continuous time. At each instant, the game involves two random individuals, one from each population. The game has the structure of a Prisoner's dilemma where each player can choose either to cooperate (c) or to defect (d), and is reframed within the field of approachability in two-player repeated game with vector payoffs. We turn the game into a dynamical system, which is positive, and propose a saturated strategy that ensures local asymptotic stability of the equilibrium (c, c) for any possible choice of the payoff matrix. We show that there exists a rectangle, in the space of payoffs, which is positively invariant for the system. We also prove that there exists a region in the space of payoffs for which the equilibrium solution (d, d) is an attractor, while all of the trajectories originating outside that region, but still in the positive quadrant, are ultimately bounded in the rectangle and, under suitable assumptions, converge to the solution (c, c).

A heat sensor magnetically attaches on the outer stove wall near the blower. When the sensor reaches a temperature of 110°F, the blower is automatically started. The blower is turned off as surface temperatures near 90°F.
The Stove Stat operates as a thermostat, eliminating the need to manually control stove blowers. A heat sensor magnetically attaches on the outer stove wall near the blower. When the sensor reaches a temperature of 110°F, the blower is automatically started. The blower is turned off as surface temperatures near 90°F. This operation prevents the blower from functioning when the stove is not producing heat. Stove Stats are also useful where a switch is required to cycle the circulator used in distributing the hot water from a stove water jacket to a tank or hot water heating system.
Transfers air from rooms that are too hot or cold. Supplied with 2-speed switch and 10 ft cord for ease of installation.


It is this type of spirituality that will be the religion of the future. It will be a religion without a god, where man feels connected to the infinitely small, the infinitely large, and infinity in time, that is to say eternity.
The Elohim offered us their religion as a wonderful gift, thus allowing us the benefit of their 25,000 years of spiritual advance. The Elohim's science is too advanced and too mysterious for us to comprehend or conceive even a small fraction of it.
But when we meditate and link up to infinity, we are equal to them spiritually. Infinity is one. And whether we are a primitive stone-age human, or a scientific Eloha, when we harmonize with infinity, we are one at the same level. We are part of the whole, connected to the whole, and feeling the whole.
That is the original meaning of religion. This word comes from the Latin religere, which means 'to link'.
To be religious is to feel connected to the infinitely small particles that we are composed of, to the cells of our body, to all life on earth, vegetable or animal, to all our brothers and sisters of humanity, to all the other beings that populate the infinitely large universe, to all the stars and galaxies, to the huge beings made up of the particles we call galaxies, to all those who ever existed and who will exist, to All with a capital A.
It is this material spirituality which is essential for the New Man. The more a civilization is scientifically advanced, the more it needs spirituality. However, it does not need a primitive spirituality, full of gods and superstitions, but a spirituality that allows us to be aware of the unity of mind and matter.
It is through a spirituality of connection that Man can truly appreciate the privilege of having achieved eternal life, thanks to science, and to enjoy it forever. That is the religion of our future. Even though it is just being born, we are seeing more and more people abandoning their medieval beliefs and converting.

John Wood, former January 6 committee investigator, launches independent Senate bid in Missouri
"Missouri voters deserve better than the divisive, extreme choices they are being given by the two major parties in this race," Wood said in a statement.
"Missouri deserves better. Missouri needs another option," Wood added. "Missouri is at a crossroads, and my candidacy offers a commonsense alternative to the crazy extremes both parties are offering in this race."
Independent candidates have typically struggled to gain support, but Wood, who calls himself a "conservative" and "life-long" Republican, could face a unique situation in the red state if former Gov. Eric Greitens wins the GOP Senate nomination.
"I am eager to launch this campaign focused on unifying our state and country rather than the extremist, even violent vision of the likely nominees for both parties," said Wood in his statement. "I'm in this race to win it and am confident in our path to victory in November."
Wood also benefits from the support of a powerful ally, former Missouri GOP Sen. John Danforth, who set up a super PAC, Missouri Stands United, to back him. Danforth told CNN that the organization has raised over $5 million and it is "reasonable to hope" that the group will spend over $20 million in the race.
"He is by far the most qualified person in the race," Danforth said about Wood. "By background, by disposition, by brains, by everything — he's highly qualified."
"It's important to have an independent candidacy because both parties have appealed almost exclusively to people who voted in primaries," Danforth added. "The result of that is that the center of American politics has been cut out. This is an opportunity to restore the center, and it's an opportunity to display to the entire country that we have to move away from the extreme polarization, the divisiveness, that characterizes politics today."
Before joining the House panel, Wood worked as general counsel for the US Chamber of Commerce, US attorney for the Western District of Missouri, and in private practice. He previously served in a number of high-ranking roles in the George W. Bush administration: chief of staff to Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, deputy general counsel at the Office of Management and Budget, and counselor to Attorney General John Ashcroft. He also clerked for US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and worked as a staffer for Danforth in the early 1990s.
To qualify for the November 8 ballot, Wood must submit 10,000 signatures to the Missouri secretary of state's office by August 1.
Besides Greitens, US Reps. Vicky Hartzler and Billy Long, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, state Sen. Dave Schatz, and St. Louis lawyer Mark McCloskey are all vying for the Senate GOP nomination. The top Missouri Senate Democratic candidates include US Marine veteran Lucas Kunce, Anheuser-Busch beer heiress Trudy Busch Valentine and St. Louis businessman Spencer Toder.

try this
http.authorizeRequests()
    .antMatchers("/login").isAnonymous() // anonymous user access this page
