A measure used to describe the degree to which the source code of a program is executed when a particular test suite runs.
…helps you find which bits of your code aren't being tested. It's worth running coverage tools every so often and looking at these bits of untested code.
If you're not already familiar with and making use of code coverage as part of your testing process or continuous development pipeline, I strongly encourage you to learn about it. With that said, today I'm going to kick off a two-part series, looking at code coverage tools.
Here in part one, I'll step through tools for five of the most popular software development languages available today; these are PHP, Python, Go, Java, and Ruby.
In part two, I'll step through four online services, covering the functionality that they provide, an overview of how they work, along with some differences in their respective approaches.
To make the tool coverage somewhat meaningful, I've created a small repository for each language that contains a modest user entity and an accompanying test suite for that entity in each of the five languages. That way, the test output that you'll see should make more sense. I want to stress, the code isn't going to change the world, but it's enough to get a basic feel for each tool.
I'll start off with PHP, as it's the language that I spend the most time developing with at the moment. If you've spent any time around PHP, you'll know that the candidate for providing code coverage is PHPUnit.
It's PHP's veteran testing framework that's been around for quite some time. PHPUnit provides code coverage support via its PHP_CodeCoverage component, with makes use of PHP's XDebug extension. Code coverage reports can be generated as HTML and XML files, and the report formats supported are Clover, Crap4J, and PHPUnit.
is calculated based on the cyclomatic complexity and code coverage of a unit of code. Code that is not too complex and has an adequate test coverage will have a low CRAP index. The CRAP index can be lowered by writing tests and refactoring the code to lower its complexity.
Also, with the help of docblock annotations, PHPUnit supports the ability to ignore specific code blocks, such as those that aren't able to be tested or ones that you want to ignore from code coverage analysis.
For example, you can use the @codeCoverageIgnore annotation to indicate that classes, functions, or lines should be ignored. Also, you can use the @codeCoverageIgnoreStart and @codeCoverageIgnoreEnd to ignore a segment of code.
You can also use the annotations to indicate that functions relate to one or several methods.
For example, let's say that we had another method in the PHP User entity called getUserDetails, which returned all the User's details. Naturally, their name is going to be part of their details. Given that, getName relates to that method. So we could add the annotation @covers User::getUserDetails to show that testing getName is involved in testing getUserDetails.
So you can see that code coverage in PHP is quite extensive and gives you a precise indication of what is and what is not covered by tests.
Assuming that PHPUnit is available as a project dependency and the XDebug extension is installed, a code coverage report can be generated in one of two ways.
In the image below, you can see an example of the HTML report. At the top, you can see a tabular report, which shows the available coverage metrics for the file (or folder) in question; in this case, SimpleEntities/src/User.php.
You can see that it has coverage of classes, traits, functions, methods, and lines. You can see that the class constructor and two methods — setName and getName — have 100 percent coverage.
As a further level of validation, underneath the tabular report, you can see the code highlighted. All but one line is in green, which means that line of code execution was tested. Yellow means a dead line of code. Also, there's red, which indicates that line was not tested.
For generating code coverage reports in Python, you can use several of Python's testing libraries, in conjunction with Coverage.py.
Paraphrasing the documentation just a little, Coverage.py starts off by running one or more code files to learn what lines are executed in the code. During this phase, it runs a trace function that records each file and line number as it executes.
When execution finishes, it examines the executed code to determine what lines could have run. After these two steps have completed, based on the information retrieved, it produces a report that visualizes what was run and what wasn't.
Like many Python libraries, it can be installed using a package manager, if you are using a Linux distribution, or via pip. Similar to most of the other libraries, Coverage.py can generate reports in both HTML and XML file formats.
As it uses a trace function to extract the information for generating a report, using it with any other testing library is quite straightforward.
In the example repository, I've used Python's UnitTest library to create a simple set of unit tests. To run the test suite, I would use the command python setup.py test.
To generate a code coverage report, first you would have to call coverage run and pass to it the python code that you want to analyze. To do that, I would run coverage run setup.py test, which would get Coverage.py to execute and analyze my test suite. After that, coverage information would be available, so I could now run coverage report, which prints the coverage report out to STDOUT.
As you can see, similar to the PHPUnit report, it shows the number of statements in the class, how many were run by the tests, how many weren't, and how many were excluded.
When developing code in Java, you can use, among others, JUnit and the JaCoCo code coverage library.
The project's documentation states that JaCoCo is a free code coverage library for Java, which has been created by the EclEmma team. JaCoCo should provide the standard technology for code coverage analysis in Java VM-based environments. The focus is providing a lightweight, flexible, and well-documented library for integration with various build and development tools.
What's more, it can be integrated with a range of build and development tools, including Ant, Maven, Eclipse, NetBeans, and IntelliJ.
JaCoCo supports creating reports in XML, HTML, and CSV formats. As Java is a lot more sophisticated than most languages and can also be more complicated than the dynamic languages, there are too many ways to cover for using JaCoCo with your application of choice.
Instead, I'm going to cover using Apache Maven to run the test suite.
After installing Maven and creating a new project in pom.xml, if you add the following plugin configuration, you can generate reports when you call man test from the command line.
This configuration loads JoCoCo 4.12 as a project plugin and sets target/jacoco-ut as the directory for the generated reports.
If you open target/jacoco-ut/index.html, then you'll see a top-level report, as in the image below, which is much like the other languages' HTML reports.
This shows the coverage of the top-level entities and folders, reporting on coverage percentage, lines, methods, and classes. If you drill down into class, you can see the same information for the methods in that class, as in the screenshot below.
And if you drill down into a method, you can see what was and what was not covered, as in the screenshot below.
Personally, I don't find the report structure as well thought out as those generated for many of the other packages. However, you do get the same information.
…a code coverage analysis tool for Ruby. It uses Ruby's built-in Coverage library to gather code coverage data, but makes processing its results much easier by providing a clean API to filter, group, merge, format, and display those results, giving you a complete code coverage suite that can be set up with just a couple lines of code.
Given that it uses Ruby's built-in Coverage library, the library works with many Ruby testing packages, including Test::Unit/Shoulda, Cucumber, Rails, and RSpec.
From what I can tell, however, unlike code coverage in the other languages covered, Ruby's built-in coverage library isn't as feature-rich. However, it still provides analysis on Line, Function, Method, Class, Branch, and Path coverage.
Second, it does not output reports in XML format as the others do. However, it supports both HTML and JSON. However, as you'll see shortly, the HTML report is nearly as feature-rich as the others, and the JSON format is both lightweight and scannable.
During the development of the Ruby repository for this article, I used it in conjunction with RSpec. So I included it at the top of RSpec's generated spec/spec_helper.rb file.
After running either bundle exec rspec or bin/rspec —init, SimpleCov generated a set of reports, much like the other coverage libraries, and stored them in the project's coverage directory.
You can see in the screenshot above that the output of the HTML-based report is quite similar to the other reports. It lists the overall coverage level and shows a breakdown of how that coverage percentage is generated. For each file in the report, it lists its coverage percentage, the lines covered by tests, the lines not covered, and so on.
Again, as with the other HTML reports, you can click on any file in the report to see a visual representation of which lines were covered by tests and which weren't, or in SimpleCov terms, lines that were missed.
…rewriting the package's source code before compilation to add instrumentation, compile and run the modified source, and dump the statistics.
…(the standard approach) is difficult to implement, as analysis of the execution of binaries is challenging. It also requires a reliable way of tying the execution trace back to the source code, which can also be difficult. Problems include inaccurate debugging information and issues such as in-lined functions complicating the analysis. Most important, this approach is very non-portable. It needs to be done afresh for every architecture and to some extent for every operating system since debugging support varies significantly from system to system.
Cover analyses files in the ways that you would expect, providing analysis by Line, Function, Method, Class, Branch, and Path coverage.
You can see the generated report in the image below. As with the other libraries' HTML reports, it showed what was covered in green and was not covered in red. The layout is slightly different, but the net result is the same.
So that's been a high-level look at code coverage in five of the most popular software development languages available today: Go, Python, Ruby, PHP, and Java. Some of the libraries have more functionality than others, whether in the depth of their analysis or reporting capabilities. Moreover, some are easier to start with than others.
However, regardless of the language(s) that you are developing with, you have more than enough code coverage support to assist you in measuring and improving the quality of your tests.
I strongly encourage you to start using code coverage analysis, if you've not started already, and to integrate it into your continuous integration and development pipelines.
Do you use a different library? Are there features that I've not covered? Share your feedback in the comments.

Dmitri Mendeleev and a brief history of the chemistry
By Gianluigi Filippelli on Saturday, February 08, 2014
by @ulaulaman via @smoot_ #Mendeleev #chemistry #periodictable #Lavoisier
The story of the chemistry starting with the first philosophers interested in the atoms, people like Epicurus, Democritus, Kanada. The first chemist, or in other words the first scientist interested in experiments about the reactions between the substances was Jabir Ibn Hayyan. Among his discoveries and inventions we must remember crystallization, calcination, sublimation and evaporation, the acid synthesis and the distillation, using the still, another of his own inventions. In addition to developing methods for the preparation of various metals, he also developed the aqua regia in order to dissolve the gold(1).
The revolution in chemistry occurred at about the same time that it happened in physics with Galileo: Georg Agricola in 1556 wrote De re metallica, a basic book for the metallurgical chemistry. From this moment, a lot of books about chemistry are published: the Tyrocinium Chymicum by Jean Beguin in 1610, the first instructional book on chemistry; The sceptical chimist by Robert Boyle, where for the first time the results of Jabir Ibn Hayyan were disclosed in Europe.
The first modern chemist was Antoine Lavoisier, engaged in a lot of research in the field of chemistry, and one of the martyrs of science, victim of the Reign of Terror during the French Revolution. Newxt to him she was Marie-Anne Pierrette, his wife, which assisted him with the construction of scientific instruments used in his experiments, in particular for the attempt to refute the theory of phlogiston(2), a mysterious entity who runs away from an object when it burns.
The myth of phlogiston was disproved, paving the way for the development of the law of conservation of mass.(2)
And finally it arrives on the scene Dmitri Mendeleev with his periodic table of elements: on the 6th March 1869, Mendeleev propoced to the Russian Chemical Society The Dependence between the Properties of the Atomic Weights of the Elements, that it was republished in the German journal Zeitschrift für Chemie(3). In it, he stated:
The elements, if arranged according to their atomic mass, exhibit an apparent periodicity of properties.
Elements which are similar as regards to their chemical properties have atomic weights which are either of nearly the same value (e.g., Pt, Ir, Os) or which increase regularly (e.g., K, Rb, Cs).
The arrangement of the elements, or of groups of elements in the order of their atomic masses, corresponds to their so-called valencies, as well as, to some extent, to their distinctive chemical properties; as is apparent among other series in that of Li, Be, B, C, N, O, and F.
The elements which are the most widely diffused have small atomic weights.
The magnitude of the atomic weight determines the character of the element, just as the magnitude of the molecule determines the character of a compound body.
We must expect the discovery of many yet unknown elements – for example, elements analogous to aluminium and silicon – whose atomic weight would be between 65 and 75.
The atomic weight of an element may sometimes be amended by a knowledge of those of its contiguous elements. Thus the atomic weight of tellurium must lie between 123 and 126, and cannot be 128.
Certain characteristic properties of elements can be foretold from their atomic masses.

While the choice of songs on this album can be reasonably questioned,there are a lot of great songs on "Negotiations & Love Songs".
"Kodachrome","Loves Me Like a Rock","50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" are three standards that are included.
"Late in the Evening" is there too. (Joe Walsh fans will recall the song as one that he covered).
For Paul Simon fans this collection may not be the best, but it's not bad either.
I like having it around for the handful of songs that I really like.
Just not my cup of tea, was in the hippie generation- just not a hippie! :) Seriously, just time to pass it on.
"This replaced Paul Simon's Greatest Hits, etc. Sadly that does not make for an improvement. That album covered less ground with more tracks. Hence this replacement suffers not only from omissions, but Paul's odd selections. Where are An American Tune, Take Me To The Mardi Gras, Duncan, and Gone At Last? Second, why is Have A Good Time on this?Lastly, the CD is an abridged version of the album, resulting in the dropping of one of Paul's biggest hits, and his favorite recording--Graceland. When the CD first appeared, the maximum length was less than 70 minutes. Now, CDs can fit over 79 minutes of music. Why hasn't Warner Brothers remastered this and restored the song?Finally, Paul likes to edit his works. Mother and Child Reunion and Loves Me Like A Rock lose 20 seconds each.Warner Brothers has yet to remaster any of their artists catalogs. Make Paul Simon your first, and give this best-of a needed facelift!"
"Paul Simon is a much revered member of the music community and has been for a long, long time. "Negotiations & Love Songs" is a great example of WHY he deserves the praise that he has showered upon him. The 16 tracks on this CD showcase not only Simon's immense talent, but also his versitility. Be it the soft beauty of "Something So Right" or the upbeat synthesizer from "You Can Call Me Al" Simon shows he knows how to write a catchy pop song. Simon's beautiful lyrics can range from moving ("Slip Slidin' Away") to hilarious and rowdy ("Late In The Evening"). I reccomend this CD to anyone who loves great pop music, and for Simon fans it is a must."
"Many people have wondered here at the strange selection of the songs on this album. I've listened to it for years and always thought the theme was obvious: Simon has put together a little biography of his life, from songs written at the time. From his childhood through his years w/Garfunkle, joys of fatherhood and the arc of his relationship/marriage/divorce with Carrie Fischer, it's all here in a tidy little package. The chronicle mostly concentrates on his Fischer years; I'm not sure why he finishes up with Diamonds & Al, other than the fact that they were hits around the time the album was released and served to give it a little momentum in the stores.Back in those days, Simon was incapable of writing a bad song. You can't go wrong buying this one, but don't treat it as a greatest hits CD -- accept it as a little story of Simon's life, which is what his songs have always been about anyway."
"No one cut quite so high or bright an arc in American pop music during the late sixties and early seventies as did Paul Simon. Whether alone as in his later career or with long-time collaborator Art Garfunkel, he consistently surprised, delighted and edified his audiences with thoughtful, memorable, and amazingly durable songs and melodies that one still finds himself humming late into the night. While Paul has been uncharacteristically quiet as of late, no one will ever deny his lasting appeal or his talent as both a singer and as a songwriter. What we have hear, then, is a selective compilation of his solo work, ranging from the haunting "Mother and Child Reunion" to the comical but lyrical "Me and Julio Down By The Schoolyard", from "Something So Right" to "Kodachrome", and from "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover" to "Still Crazy After All These Years". All of these songs, as well as the many others included here, are all intelligent, sophisticated, and fun to listen to. While few have the power or meaning of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" or "The Boxer", they are all still memorable and evocative, proof positive that Paul Simon can stand alongside anyone, including Bob Dylan, in terms of depth of talent and extent of success. This is a wonderful retrospective of Paul Simon's solo work. Enjoy!"
"An interesting collection from 1988 that is a combination of some of Paul Simon's greatest hits with some lesser known gems. One such gem is "Rene and Georgette Magritte with Their Dog After the War," which combines a bit of folk and is wonderful song that I am unable to recall having previously heard.
Of course there are quite a number of songs for which Paul Simon is famous, ranging from early hits "Mother and Child Reunion" to later hits such as "You Can Call Me Al." While this collection is not truly a greatest hits, it certainly seems to come close to one.
Paul Simon has had a fascination with rhythmic music, perhaps epitomized by his much lauded "Graceland" album, which was both a critical and commercial success. That rhythm is well-evidenced by the selections chosen for this collection. Of course Paul Simon is much more than "Graceland" and more than just fascinated with rhythm as he has consistently created magical and beautiful music throughout his solo career.
This CD is an eclectic collection of some of Paul's more enduring and artistically created music. Worth having even in comprehensive collections."

Neck pain from injuries, daily wear and tear, or underlying conditions make it difficult for individuals to move their head without experiencing pain and stiffness. This can make it hard to do routine activities or play sports. Patients in Manassas, Virginia, with neck pain can find relief at Acute and Wellness Chiropractic Clinic. Dr. Joe Mikluscak offers safe and effective chiropractic adjustments to relieve neck pain.
Neck pain can occur due to damage in the upper part of the spine resulting from wear and tear on spinal discs, sports injuries, work injuries, arthritis and other inflammatory diseases, and auto accident injuries like whiplash. When discs, muscles, tendons, or other parts of the upper spine are worn down or damaged, patients may experience soreness and a loss of flexibility that can linger for many weeks or even months.
Diagnosing neck pain involves a physical exam of the affected area. This exam helps Dr. Mikluscak determine the seriousness of the pain and stiffness and the exact area of the neck that's affected. A physical exam also reveals if a patient's range of motion is restricted. Some patients might also require imaging tests, like X-rays, computerized tomography (CT) scans, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, to reveal the extent of damage to the upper spine. These provide in-depth images of the affected part of the neck and upper spine.
What are neck pain treatments?
The type of treatment needed for neck pain relief depends on the cause and severity of the symptoms. Treatment for minor problems typically includes nonprescription pain relievers, ice or heat, and rest. Treatment for more severe pain might include prescription pain medications, a neck brace, or surgery to correct damage. Chiropractic treatment provides another option for those who don't want to undergo surgery or take pain medication.
How does chiropractic care relieve neck pain?
Chiropractic adjustments ease neck pain by realigning the spine. When the upper part of the spine ends up being misaligned due to an injury or an illness, the affected discs have a difficult time healing. They also press on nerves in the area, which leads to neck pain. Adjusting the spine relieves pressure on the nerves and supports natural healing. Chiropractic adjustments make it possible for nutrients to get to the damaged part of the upper spine and help heal the affected discs.


Cataract occurs when the crystaline lens inside your eye becomes cloudy or misty. This is a gradual process that happens as we get older, it is not painful.
The only treatment for cataracts is surgery, if the cataract gets to the stage where it affects your sight the optometrist will refer you to hospital to have this done. The surgery is carried out under a local anaesthetic and is very safe. Once you have had the cataract removed, it will not grow back.
The main cause is age. Smoking, poor diet and exposure to sunlight have all been linked to cataracts.
Younger people can develop cataracts if they have an injury to the eye. Some medical conditions including diabetes or taking some sorts of medication may also cause cataracts.
Many people with a cataract notice that they need the a new prescription for their glasses. You may notice that your vision is less clear and distinct. Car headlights and streetlights can become dazzling. You may experience difficulties moving from shade to sunlit areas. Colours may look different too and become faded.
The best advice to try to prevent cataracts, or to stop them getting worse, is to stop smoking and to wear good quality sunglasses with full UV protection.
If your cataract is affecting your day-to-day life, and your optometrist cannot improve this enough by changing your glasses, they will refer you for surgery. This involves removing the cloudy lens and replacing it with a clear plastic one.
You will have an initial appointment where the ophthalmologist will assess your eyes.The ophthalmologist may also be able to correct your short- or long-sightedness so that you do not need to wear your glasses as much after the operation as you did before.
You will not normally need stitches, but your eye will be covered to protect it from knocks for a few days after the operation. You will be allowed to go home the same day but must not drive.
Your eyesight will settle down in a few weeks. You will probably find that your glasses will need changing after the operation, so you will need to see your optometrist again for an eye examination a few weeks after the surgery.

Google Maps Adds 11 Disney Parks to Street View
Tuesday March 6, 2018 4:39 AM PST by Tim Hardwick
Google Maps' Street View technology has been updated today to include virtual tours of 11 Disney parks for parents and children to explore in advance of a coming trip, or to rekindle memories of previous visits.
We're all about new fantastic points of view. Today Street View is going the distance, from California to Florida, to make Disney part of your world. Be our guest at 11 Disney Parks, and with Street View, anything your heart desires will come to you—castles, rides, attractions to infinity and beyond.
The Street View coverage takes in castles, rides and attractions around the various Parks, such as Florida's Magic Kingdom Park and the Avatar-themed world of Pandora in Animal Kingdom. The feature currently only includes parks in the United States, but that may change in future, given Google's recent efforts to expand its coverage of touristic landmarks across Europe and Asia through the service.
Google Maps can be downloaded from the App Store for free. [Direct Link]

So...Apple sucks because Google has just added 11 of Disney's parks and they have not? So...does this mean that Google sucked yesterday? Oh...and how long has Google maps be out? Doesn't it make them super sorry for just doing this? This should have been done years ago. If we are using the same metrics.
No that means Google has been working on it as probably a lot of other new mapping tools... while over at Apple the Maps team can't seem to figure out how to get night mode to work consistently

Apple Maps gets the job done but man is Google Maps the way to go.

This is really cool! It makes it easier and more fun to help sketch out an itinerary for those who want to. Google maps has always been an awesome service. This type of thing (something that's really cool and actually very useful) is what really shows things like "FlyOver" to be fairly useless gimmicks.

WINTER arrived in Kerry, prematurely and with a ferocious impact, overnight with trees uprooted, branches strewn everywhere and several roads blocked as Storm Callum made its presence felt.
The strikingly beautiful golden and burgundy leaves were shredded from laden trees which were unceremoniously stripped of their autumn foliage with householders having to act quickly to take preventative steps to ensure their drains weren't blocked by the carpet of sodden debris.
Dedicated Kerry County Council crews, backed up by fire service personnel and civil defence, were out long before daybreak, working through the darkness to clear roadways that had been blocked by fallen trees were cleared.
Several trees came crashing down in Killarney, including on the main Killarney to Kenmare road, close to Muckross Gardens, the R568 between Moll's Gap and Sneem, near Beaufort village on the Killorglin side of grotto, on the N72 on the Killarney side of Killorglin and on the N22 at Glenflesk, forcing the authorities to reduce the road to one lane.
Problems with trees also arose om the Glenflesk-Barraduff road at Headford, between the N22 and the R570,on the roadway between Knockanes National School and Brewsterfield and in Muckross Close, Killarney.
Many houses were plunged into darkness overnight with trees falling on power lines and the areas worst hit included Waterville, Kenamre, Milltown, Castleisland, Killorglin and Ballinskelligs. Over 2,000 homes were still with power at lunchtime but ESB crews are working hard to restore service to all areas.
The early morning flight from Kerry to Dublin was cancelled due to strong winds and several school transport vehicles were unable to provide a full service.


It's 4:48 on a Tuesday morning. Amber Ball exits her abode loaded bottomward with bags.
One bag is abounding with commons — for her and added agents for whom she cooks anniversary week. One bag has clothes and architecture she'll charge afterwards her aboriginal morning workout.
A third bag has food she'll charge to advise her average academy classes of English, Spanish and reading.
It's the aboriginal of abounding times today Ball is juggling, physically and mentally — a assurance of actuality a abecedary in 2018.
Growing demands on the profession beggarly agents don't appointment eight-hour days. Today abounding agents appointment two or added jobs, advance extracurricular activities, absorb their own money on classroom decorations and basal food like Band-Aids and tampons for acceptance who charge them.
Ball, 26, in her "be the change" T-shirt and flowy, blush skirt, is one of those teachers. The alpine bistered teaches eighth-grade reading, English and Spanish at Caldwell Parish Junior Aerial in the tiny northeast Louisiana boondocks of Columbia.
It's her additional year at the academy that operates alone four canicule a anniversary to save money on busline and activity costs. This is her fifth year to teach.
She'll breach at academy today until 5:30 p.m. to drillmaster dance. She'll brand affidavit at home afterward. She'll accord up her planning aeon and cafeteria hour for training and cafeteria duty.
All of this she does in the hopes that she will appulse the lives of acceptance today.
Her shirt bears a apple on it, apery added adorning sayings throughout her allowance that appearance the anticipation and accomplishment put into every bit of her job, alike decoration.
This motivates her to appear to appointment every day, to appear aback afterwards abandonment to delay tables for a year. She fabricated added money.
"You aloof don't feel like you're accomplishing annihilation important, and alike admitting sometimes our country doesn't act like teaching is important, it absolutely is," Ball said.
She's additionally one who agrees with the 72 percent of Louisiana agents and academy agents appear their appointment is "often" or "always" demanding in aftermost year's Educator Quality of Appointment Life Survey.
Her arch agrees that agents today face college demands. He said it comes from things like the federal apprenticeship act and added accountability standards like high-stakes testing and apprentice performance. These factors ability be well-intentioned, but "all access burden placed on today's educators," Arch Troy Alarm said.
Ball gets up crazily aboriginal to fit in a conditioning with acquaintance and adolescent abecedary Rachel Morgan afore their 10-plus-hour workdays.
Each leads an extracurricular that practices afterwards school, so if they don't exercise afore academy they aloof don't exercise.
"Why should assertive bodies not be able to do assertive things (because of their job)?" Morgan asks.
After an hour at the gym the agents accomplish breakfast and get accessible afore branch to academy at 7:20 a.m.
The academy appearance red, white and dejected corrective hallways with absolute signs acquaint on doors and central the teacher's lounge.
Ball walks into her classroom, corrective air-conditioned blah and dimly lit with lamps and ablaze lights about the whiteboard.
There's a flurry of movement to about-face on lamps and her computer, get affidavit accessible for aboriginal hour and allocution with co-teacher Miranda Morgan about adjustment their acquaint for the day.
At 7:49 a.m. Ball stands at her classroom aperture and gives high-fives to kids as they airing in. They get their books, booty chairs off a table and adapt for the aboriginal bell, which rings a minute later.

"Who feels the mood?" the abecedary asks Genesis. "Us," she answers.
These are the moments that admonish her why she teaches and why she acquainted accusable that year she wasn't teaching. She acquainted like she was absolution kids bottomward by not actuality there for them.
In additional hour Ball teaches the aforementioned account appointment to a new chic of children, but it still demands a lot of her both mentally and physically.
Throughout the day she goes from sitting to continuing and sitting afresh in altered places about her room.
She paces beyond the classroom to bite holes in accord cards anniversary time a apprentice answers a question. She sits with acceptance at what she calls "the ancestors table" to advice them address sentences application codicillary mood.
She glances at the alarm at 9:12 a.m. while allurement her chic about Jack London's about-face in tone. She alone has until 9:43 to fit in everything.

"(Teaching) is consistently cat-and-mouse for article to go wrong, but admiring every additional aback it goes right," Ball says later.
Ball additionally uses funny choir during class, account activity words in a altered way anniversary time to accumulate the kids interested.
That consistently actuality "on," consistently agreeable can be exhausting. But that and the anatomy she provides in chic ability accomplish all the aberration to students, she said.
Like aback she rewards one student, Jordan Gomez, with absolute words afterwards he reads his sentences out loud.
"You're killing it today, Jordan," Amber says from the added end of the table.
Or the times she gives acceptance Band-Aids, tampons, snacks, bottled baptize and alike a additional adventitious to complete an appointment for some credibility rather than none.
Ball uses adjustable basement and groupwork in her classroom. She assigns acceptance chic jobs like casual out journals. All of this takes planning, added time and accomplishment on her part.
Her classroom runs like a well-oiled machine, which all goes aback to that anatomy she says kids need.
There are blithely atramentous folders appearance altered classes, drawers to authority accord cards and snacks, cubbies for dancers' sparkly red accoutrements for afternoon practice. She tries to anticipate of aggregate advanced of time to accumulate chic affective and acceptance learning.
As her acceptance move from table to attic or account bend Ball tells them to "take two account to get your wiggles out and get your lives together." That's a affluence Ball doesn't get herself.
She didn't get her "brain break" today because of training that replaced her accepted planning period.
They're additionally alleged "off hours," admitting agents are annihilation but off. Ball usually spends this time creating appointment plans, authoritative copies, avaricious a bite or application the bathroom.
Amber Ball, 26, eats her cafeteria continuing up and talking to a apprentice while on cafeteria appointment at Caldwell Parish Junior Aerial in Columbia, La., proving teaching is a acclimation act.
She'll absorb her aing two weeks of planning periods in the teacher's lounge commutual a training on the guidebooks she uses in English Accent Arts class. This is to accomplish up for the all-day training she didn't accomplish on Monday, her day off.
She doesn't get a breach for cafeteria either. Like all teachers, she takes turns accepting cafeteria appointment and afternoon alcove duty.

Then it's time to arch outside, area it's 94 degrees, for eighth-hour dance. Today the aggregation does conditioning with the blush bouncer from the aerial academy amid on the aforementioned campus.
Ball has traded her continued blush brim for conditioning clothes and a atramentous hat to block some of the sun.

At 6:53 p.m. she pulls into her driveway. She still has affidavit to brand because she couldn't do them during her planning period.
She brings her salmon-colored haversack to the anchorage captivated amid two copse beside the house. It's adequate to lie in but not adequate to brand affidavit in, she says, which is what she needs. If she takes the affidavit central she knows she won't brand them.

She's aching to see 13 out of 25 didn't about-face one in or angry in one after their name. This is not one of those balmy and down-covered moments.

LONDON (Alliance News) - Stride Gaming PLC on Friday said it has launched a new B2B division, Stride Together, through which it will licence its gaming platform to gaming operators, media partners, and retailers both in the UK and across the globe.
This will enable businesses to create an online presence for their customers and enter the omni-channel gaming space, Stride said.
The first joint venture has been established with UK-based gaming operator Aspers Group Ltd, which intends to launch its online business in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Stride hopes to grow Stride Together into a high margin business unit that will provide it with a B2B vertical and a "springboard" to penetrate new and non-bingo verticals both within UK markets and overseas territories.
It will also target media groups and gaming operators seeking extra revenue streams through soft gaming content.
"In launching Stride Together, we have created a vehicle to licence our proprietary platform to enable gaming operators, media groups and retailers to capitalise on their databases and establish an online presence," Chief Executive Eitan Boyd said in a statement.

Matt's Inside Line on Private Practice, Good Wife, White Collar, Burn Notice, SOA and More
By Matt Webb Mitovich / July 21 2011, 8:16 AM PDT
Does Addison still have baby on the brain? Which Good Wife pairing has Alan Cumming licking his lips (and stroking a cat)? Will the treasure tear apart White Collar's Neal and Sara? What unites SAMCRO with The Hoff? Read on for those answers, plus other teases from some of TV's hottest shows.
Private Practice | AddisonKateFan tweeted me for "Addison scoop, please!" — and I'm here to deliver. When last we tuned in, Ad's pillow talk included the declaration, "I'm still going to want a baby, Sam…. I'll adopt or get a sperm donor, I don't know. But I'm going to have a baby, on my own." But with all that Ad has going on, from salvaging Oceanside Wellness to whatever is up with the returning Benjamin Bratt character, will she still be leaning toward the family way when the show returns Sept. 29? Oh, yes. A source assures me that Dr. Montgomery "is going to waste no time" and look into adding a baby to her life "from the get-go of Season 5." Let's just hope it's not too tough a road ahead for her.
Matt's Inside Line: Shonda Rhimes Discusses Benjamin Bratt's Private Practice Casting
Falling Skies | Speaking of wee ones, TNT's alien-invasion drama recently introduced us to a very pregnant gal named Sarah, which led me to ask Moon Bloodgood, who plays the resident doctor, if baby drama is to come? Like, might the kid-collecting skitters be especially interested in a newborn human? Alas, my theory got nixed. Bloodgood says the imminent childbirth is merely "symbolic of how new life is going to come into this camp of people." Plus, the actual delivery will require an unexpected pair of helping hands. "Anne and [Captain] Weaver have a moment where we have to deliver the baby," reveals Moon, "and that lets him and I be closer, versus being adversaries."
The Good Wife | I've been seeing much speculation, off of this week's Ask Ausiello, that the Good Wife characters who are about to meet for the first time – and form an interesting bond – are Eli and Kalinda. Well, Alan Cumming, who just last week netted his second Emmy nod for playing Peter's campaign manager, would savor such an alliance. "Can you imagine?!" he said to me, marveling at the potential partnership. "You could have the Superheroes of Ruthlessness! I can imagine them wearing cloaks, and I would be petting a cat…." (Just wanted to share that mental picture with everyone.)
Good Wife Season 3 Scoop: Hotel Hook-Up Aftermath, Plus Will's Blast from the Past
White Collar | Given that this week's episode ended with Sara laying her peepers on Neal's treasure trove, you have to wonder how that discovery will impact the romance 'tween the insurance snoop and the semi-reformed con. Here is what Hilarie Burton told me about what's next. "Sara walks in a grey area, but she clearly knows the difference between right and wrong, and her decision-making process will be affected," she teased. "As much as she likes Neal, she also likes her freedom and her future. He is a beautiful, tempting man, and that killed Kate — and I don't think Sara is going to let that happen to her. She is going to fight it as much as she can, because she refuses to be anyone's victim." Cue Eliza Dushku?
TVLINE Q&A: White Collar's Hilarie Burton on Sara's Possible Heartbreak, 'Smooth' Matt Bomer
Burn Notice | One hot topic likely to come up at Burn Notice's Comic-Con panel is the possibility of fans getting another prequel movie, à la The Fall of Sam Axe, but this time delving into the past of Michael or Fiona. Well, here's the bottom line from USA Network co-prez Jeff Wachtel: "Fox TV Studios came to us with the idea of doing the [Sam Axe] prequel, in part because Bruce [Campbell] is such a spectacular international star, based on the Evil Dead movies – he's like the Elvis of Comic-Con — so they were able to offer to us a two-hour [movie] somewhat less costly than a traditional one." Meaning, centering a TV-movie around Jeffrey Donovan or Gabrielle Anwar would mean making the numbers work. "We'd love to do [another prequel]," says Wachtel, "but it'd have to have a good economic model."

Sons of Anarchy | What brings "The Hoff" to the FX hit (premiering its new season on Sept. 6)? Playing a "packing" porn star named Dondo, he will get wrapped up in some possible closure for Georgie's murder of Luann. Apprised by Jax of exactly how the porn starlet got snuffed, "I get really pissed off, because she was my mentor and friend, and she taught me there was more to like that being just 'a big c—k,'" David Hasselhoff tells me. And once Dondo gets the grim details? "Hopefully they'll have me kill Tom Arnold (who plays Georgie)!"
Matt's Inside Line: Scoop on Sons of Anarchy's Opie, Tig, Bobby and Clay
Comic-Con Quickies | Here's a pleasant surprise for Haven fans attending the San Diego event, namely Friday night's screening of a new episode: Cast member Eric Balfour will make an unplanned appearance, teeing up the presentation…. Anthony Head will be guest-moderating the Saturday panel for NBC's Grimm, offering a bit of a Buffy reunion, seeing as Grimm boss David Greenwalt was an EP on the slayer series…. And last but not least, be sure to follow TVLine's Michael Ausiello, Megan Masters and Vlada Gelman on Twitter for ongoing updates from Con events, parties and our star-studded video suite.

Meet MADtv's Michelle Ortiz, Your New Comedy Crush
Posted by Nalip on August 27, 2016
By Jesus Triviño
While Saturday Night Live cast members are dropping faster than your morals at last call on a Friday. But who needs SNL anyway? Latinos don't because well, they almost never cast us (save for Fred Armisen, Horatio Sanz). Enter the revamped, reboot of the sketch comedy show, MADtv, which now airs on the CW. No need to start online campaigns for MAD to hire minorities—their cast is literally the United Nations of comedy. And, of course, we're all about Michelle Ortiz—the Latina who gives Dora the Explorer a 'hood vibe, makes Sofia Vergara's accent funnier, and has the ever-contorting face of an emoji. Get to know your new comedy crush.
You were in almost every sketch in the season's first episode.
The first episode is kind of the Michelle show. It wasn't on purpose. Even the writers and producers didn't realize how much stuff I was in until the night of the last taping. Actually in the last taping, I wasn't in that much to balance it out.
You also imitated Melania Trump, which is ironic because you're Latina.
I thought people would be commenting more about that, but actually people paid more attention to Dora. They didn't really give any shot outs to my Melania and they ended up using the take where I improvised a lot for the actual show. I can guarantee you will see Melania again in episode two.
How did you get into the arts?
I always did musical theater growing up. That's why I feel sketch comedy came so easy to me. I've been doing characters since I was little but not really knowing I was doing impressions. My mom always says she knew I was going to be a comedian when Family Matters would come on and I would imitate Steve Urkel. That was my first impression.
Did you ever audition for SNL?
I did. What's so crazy is that in middle school I would stay up and watch both MADtv and SNL at the same time. I always like MADtv better, but then it got cancelled so I was like, "I guess I'll try getting on SNL." And then this came back on. I was like, "I'm happy now I won't try for SNL." I didn't try out, they were interested in me after they saw my CBS showcase and they reached out. They were like, "Maybe we can see you in New York." They were interested and then luckily MADtv happened like a month later. All within the last year.
And you would've been the first Latina cast member on SNL.
That was my plan. I was like, "You know, fuck it. I'm gonna be the first Latina on SNL." That's gonna be my title. But it just never happened and then a month later I got the audition for MADtv. I guess it was just meant to be.
MADtv never suffered from lack of diversity.
Correct. I feel like MADtv, even back in '95 when it first started, when it casted its people they were really color blind. They were just looking for the best or most alternative, or the most contemporary actors that people can relate too. They never forcibly were like oh let's make the show about diversity. I'm not even the first Latina onMADtv [Anjelah Johnson] so I think that's what sets them apart from SNL.
As the only Latina on the show, will you impersonate every single Latina celebrity?
That's definitely what's going to happen. For the audition I did Penelope Cruz, Sofia Vergara and it's an honor and privilege to be the only Latin cast member. I was so adamant about getting my Dora the Explorer character in there because I feel that she is a very positive Latin role model for kids. So to take her to the adult situation shows that there's a lot more to us than being rapists and migrant workers.
When did you realize you were funny?
I still don't think I'm funny. Growing up I was always imitating Shakira and Christina Aguilera for my parents. My dad is from Tijuana and for the summer times we'd always be there or anywhere in Baja, California. There was this one time when I was really little, I think like 7, and we were at some hotel resort where no one was there and they ere like Oh Michelle sing us a song, because I had been taking private voice lessons when I was young and I was like okay! So I get up in front of the pool on the deck and I started singing "Let me Entertain You", and I'm doing all these weird dances and I finish the song and this is just to my mom, dad and little brother who are in the water, and all of a sudden I hear all this singing and applause and it's as all these drunk people watching me from their balconies from their room and they were cheering anchor, I just jumped in the pool, I had no idea they were watching, so maybe that's when I first realized I could entertain. I'm gonna say between 7-9 buy its probably 8 because I hadn't done my first musical yet.
Who are some of your comedy idols?
Alex Borstein. She had the Miss Swan character on MADtv. Maya Rudolph, back in the day when I was switching channels I was obsessed with her on SNL. Those are my big comedy women.
Your look is definitely Latina but you can also pull other ethnicities. Has that been an advantage?
People definitely can see I'm Latin right away but I get a lot of Armenian. Oh yes I'm going to be doing Kim Kardashian too. With my commercial agent I think they've been pinning me more for ethnically ambiguous because I can go for Middle Eastern roles. The truth of the matter is if I didn't speak Spanish and was bilingual, I probably would have never booked that Direx commercial and it probably would have taken me longer to break into this industry. That's a realization I had recently because I was such a hater. I did the ABC diversity showcase and the CBS diversity showcase and those are showcases that try to find actors of different color, gender, sexuality and try to introduce them to the industry. I hated I was a part of it because I was like, "Why can't I get something just because I'm good? Why does it have to be because I'm brown?" I struggled with that so much. The last CBS showcase I did, once I got the audition for MADtv and I was like, "Holy shit if it wasn't for these diversity programs, I wouldn't have gotten this." I feel very lucky, fortunate and proud to be first generation bilingual American because I wouldn't be here without it. There's a generation that I think their parents told them you don't need to learn Spanish, you're American, you were born here. But I was fortunate enough that my parents forced me to only speak Spanish at home and that ended up being my first acting gig.

Manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) is a way of reducing swelling caused by fluid build up after cancer treatment. There are different types of manual lymphatic drainage (MLD). They include Vodder, Földi, Casley-Smith and Fluoroscopy guided manual lymphatic drainage (FG-MLD).
You should only have MLD from a specially trained therapist in one of these types.
The aim of MLD is to move fluid from the swollen area into a place where the lymphatic system is working normally.
To do this, the specialist first uses specialised skin movements to clear the area that they want the fluid to drain into.
It might seem strange to have skin movements on your chest and neck if you have lymphoedema in your arm. But it means that the fluid has somewhere to drain to when the therapist treats your arm.
You usually lie down to have MLD. But if you have lymphoedema in your head and neck, you sit up.
When you have MLD, you feel a gentle pressure. The skin movements are very light so that the small lymph vessels are not flattened. Flattened lymph vessels would prevent the lymph fluid from draining. The movements are slow and rhythmic so that the lymph vessels open up.
You might have MLD daily from Monday to Friday. Or you might have it 3 times a week, for about 3 weeks.
The number of treatments you have depends on the type of MLD and what you need. Your specialist will also take into account the amount of swelling you have.
The specialist might bandage the area. They use a specialised bandaging technique called multi-layered lymphoedema bandaging. If it is not possible or necessary to use bandages, you will need to wear a compression garment.
Your lymphoedema specialist will regularly check how well your treatment is working. They'll look at whether the tissues are softening and how much the swelling is going down.
Once the swelling is under control, you might need another compression garment to wear.
Remember that you are the person who will notice changes in the swelling first. You need to talk to your specialist about how your treatment is working. Managing lymphoedema is very much about you and the specialist working together.
Simple lymphatic drainage (SLD) means that you learn how to do an easier version of MLD yourself. It is sometimes called self massage.
A specialist needs to teach you how to do this. Your lymphoedema specialist might teach you to do SLD in only the areas where you don't have lymphoedema. This frees up space for the lymph fluid to drain into from the swollen area.
You don't do SLD in the area where you have swelling. The skin movements in the swollen area are more difficult to do. Your therapist will show you how to move the skin in the surrounding areas. Ask them questions if anything is not clear.
You do SLD twice a day, for about 20 minutes each time. Only apply light pressure, as your lymphoedema specialist taught you.
There are some situations when you should not have MLD or SLD. Your lymphoedema specialist will tell you whether you can or can't. Always check with them if you aren't sure.
If you are uncertain about having MLD or doing SLD, talk to your doctor or lymphoedema specialist.

Diet & Nutrition for Better Memory & Thinking (By Alzheimer's & Dementia Weekly)
Eat2think
Sugar & Alzheimer's
Alzheimer's is related to diabetes, a sickness related to abnormal sugar levels. Brown University even nicknamed Alzheimer's, "Diabetes of the Brain" or "Diabetes Type 3". But what about people with "normal" blood sugar? How do a few cookies affect their brain?
A compelling University of Arizona study, published in the journal Neurology, suggests a possible link between elevated blood sugar levels and risk for developing Alzheimer's disease.
About 5 percent of men and women, ages 65 to 74, have Alzheimer's disease, and it is estimated that nearly half of those age 85 and older may have the disease, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Among the known factors that contribute to the disease are age and genetics. Scientists also think that high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes may increase risk.
Although the link between diabetes and Alzheimer's has been studied, UA researchers wondered if elevated blood sugar levels in non-diabetic individuals also might indicate a higher risk for developing Alzheimer's disease.
"There have been studies that have linked diabetes to Alzheimer's disease as a risk factor," said Alfred Kaszniak, UA professor of psychology and a co-author on the study. "What was not known when we began this work is whether that risk was only at levels of blood sugar that qualify for diagnoses of diabetes, or in the borderline or pre-diabetic range, or would we also see a relationship across the so-called normal range of blood glucose?"
The researchers used fluorodeoxyglucose (18F) positron electron tomography, or FDG PET, a medical imaging technique that produces three-dimensional images of metabolic activity in the brain. Fasting serum glucose levels – blood sugar levels following several hours of not eating – are routinely acquired as part of the FDG PET protocol.
"When compared to those without the disease, Alzheimer's disease patients demonstrate a pattern of reduced brain metabolism in particular brain regions," explained Christine Burns, lead author on the study and a UA pre-doctoral student in psychology. "What we show is an association between elevated fasting serum glucose levels and a similar pattern of reduced metabolism in these same AD-related brain regions in cognitively healthy adults."
The researchers studied data on 124 cognitively normal, non-diabetic adults with a family history of Alzheimer's disease. The individuals, who ranged in age from 47 to 68, were among participants in a larger study, led by Dr. Eric Reiman, executive director of the Banner Alzheimer's Institute in Phoenix, looking at a variety of Alzheimer's risk factors, including genetic risk.
The link between high blood sugar and reduced brain metabolism existed regardless of whether individuals carried the Apolipoprotein E4 gene variant, an established risk factor for the development of Alzheimer's disease.
In addition to suggesting a link between elevated blood sugar levels and Alzheimer's risk in non-diabetic individuals, the study also shows promise for the use of brain imaging techniques like PET in identifying Alzheimer's risk and developing early preventative interventions, researchers say.
"Right now, if you want to develop a drug or evaluate some other kind of a preventive measure for Alzheimer's disease, the labor and expense is prohibitive," Kaszniak said. "If you recruit people who may be at some risk, but are 20 years away from developing signs of the illness, what drug company or governmental agency is going to fund research that follows people for 20 years to see whether something is effective in prevention?
"However, if you have a biologic marker, it suggests what areas you should really focus on in those very expensive longitudinal studies," he said.
Burns said she hopes the findings will inform ongoing work designed to help develop early Alzheimer's interventions.
"A lot of valuable research is focused on treatment and slowing decline in Alzheimer's patients," she said. "I'm interested in complementing this work with interventions that can be implemented earlier on, perhaps at middle age."

George and Maxxs have absolutely zero interest in the piece of junk Alice is selling. They came all the way to have a look at it but are extremely disappoint with it. Maybe they can turn the day around when they see what else Alice has up for sale!


Absolutely the best audio shop I have been to. I called them with a last minute order for Mother's Day. Not only did they finish a complete system upgrade for a decent price, they stayed several hours after to make sure it was done and ready in time. I'm an audiophile and absolutely love a quality system. The one that they installed is absolutely incredible. It is as close to perfect as I have ever heard. I can't praise these guys enough! They've won me over. I plan on taking another car there soon.
Pro Audio gave me a cost estimate about 1/2 that of their competitors for some custom work (1 1/2 DIN to Double-Din conversion) on a Jeep Cherokee. I picked it up today and the quality of the work is AMAZING. The stereo looks stock! The conversion they did for my Jeep is better than any other examples of work I saw online. If you need some custom work done on your vehicle and want it to look seamless and professional (and still work within your budget) I can't recommend these guys enough. VERY satisfied customer, thank you! I will definitely be back.

CARMEL, Calif. —
Carmel city leaders plan to re-open the Forest Theatre as soon as possible. It's become their top priority since the theater shut its doors last Wednesday.
"They've basically said this is a cultural community emergency, this is an old facility that reflects bohemian Carmel and everything that Carmel stands for," said Pacific Repertory Theatre executive director Stephen Moorer.

After 5 minutes turn the heat down to a simmer and add the prawns, red chilli, spring onions, noodles and mushrooms, and allow to cook for a further 5 minutes with a lid on.
When the prawns have turned pink, and the noodles are tender add the chopped coriander.
Ladle the broth into bowls making sure you divide the prawns and noodles between bowls. Discard the lemongrass before serving.
Like you, I love this kind of soup!
Hi Frances, yes I love this, it makes me feel virtuious and healthy especially if I have overindulged at the weekend!


Includes citizens (peoples and robots), furniture, foods, city buildings and their interiors, and organized layers.
There's just lots of stuff here!
UPDATE: Added a shipping dock area!
This is great. Thank you for your share.
Wow! You were already good, but you've gotten better! Honestly, if I didn't know it was from you, I would have assumed this was ripped from a game or website. You're just so good at this!
It looks so good, really like from a Nintendo game!
Love all the little details you've assembled together into the scenes! Very neat, distinctive style.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a standard for specifying the visual presentation of HTML (or XML) documents. In theory, you use HTML markup to specify the structure of your document, resisting the temptation to use deprecated HTML tags such as <font> to specify how the document should look. Instead, you use CSS to define a style sheet that specifies how the structured elements of your document should be displayed. For example, you can use CSS to specify that the level-one headings defined by <h1> tags should be displayed in bold, sans-serif, centered, uppercase, 24-point letters.
And, in the CSS2 standard, also the aural presentation.
Many advanced DHTML effects also involve the event-handling techniques we'll see in Chapter 19.
The ability to script CSS styles allows you to dynamically change colors, fonts, and so on. More importantly, it allows you to set and change the position of elements and even to hide and show elements. This means that you can use DHTML techniques to create animated transitions where document content "slides in" from the right, for example, or an expanding and collapsing outline list in which the user can control the amount of information that is displayed.
This chapter begins with an overview of CSS style sheets and the use of CSS styles to specify the position and visibility of document elements. It then explains how CSS styles can be scripted using the API defined by the DOM Level 2 standard. Finally, it demonstrates the nonstandard, browser-specific APIs that can be used to achieve DHTML effects in Netscape 4 and Internet Explorer 4.
The CSS standard defines quite a few style attributes you can set. Table 18-1 lists all the attributes except for those used only in audio style sheets. You are not expected to understand or be familiar with all these attributes, their values, or their meanings. As you become familiar with CSS and use it in your documents and scripts, however, you may find this table a convenient quick reference. For more complete documentation on CSS, consult Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide, by Eric Meyer (O'Reilly), or Dynamic HTML: The Definitive Guide, by Danny Goodman (O'Reilly). Or read the specification itself -- you can find it at http://www.w3c.org/TR/REC-CSS2/.
The second column of Table 18-1 shows the allowed values for each style attribute. It uses the grammar used by the CSS specification. Items in fixed-width font are keywords and should appear exactly as shown. Items in italics specify a data type such as a string or a length. Note that the length type is a number followed by a units specification such as px (for pixels). See a CSS reference for details on the other types. Items that appear in italic fixed-width font represent the set of values allowed by some other CSS attribute. In addition to the values shown in the table, each style attribute may have the value "inherit", to specify that it should inherit the value from its parent.
In fact, some of the attributes listed in Table 18-1 are themselves shortcuts. The margin and padding attributes are shortcuts for attributes that specify margins, padding, and borders for each of the individual sides of an element. Thus, instead of using the margin attribute, you can use margin-left, margin-right, margin-top, and margin-bottom, and similarly for padding.
We've seen the id attribute before: it is used with the DOM function getElementById( ) to return individual elements of a document. As you might imagine, this kind of element-specific style sheet rule is useful when we want to manipulate the style of an individual element. Given the previous rule, for example, a script might switch the value of the visibility attribute from hidden to visible, causing the element to dynamically appear.
You can incorporate a style sheet into an HTML document by placing it between <style> and </style> tags within the <head> of the document, or you can store the style sheet in a file of its own and reference it from the HTML document using a <link> tag. You can also combine these two techniques by creating a document-specific style sheet between <style> tags that references or imports a document-independent style sheet using the special @import "at-rule." Consult a CSS reference for details on @import.
Recall that the C in CSS stands for "cascading." This term indicates that the style rules that apply to any given element in a document can come from a cascade of different sources. Each web browser typically has its own default styles for all HTML elements and may allow the user to override these defaults with a user style sheet. The author of a document can define style sheets within <style> tags or in external files that are linked in or imported into other style sheets. The author may also define inline styles for individual elements with the HTML style attribute.
The CSS specification includes a complete set of rules for determining which rules from the cascade take precedence over the other rules. Briefly, however, what you need to know is that the user style sheet overrides the default browser style sheet, author style sheets override the user style sheet, and inline styles override everything. The exception to this general rule is that user style attributes whose values include the !important modifier override author styles. Within a style sheet, if more than one rule applies to an element, styles defined by the most specific rule override conflicting styles defined by less specific rules. Rules that specify an element id are the most specific. Rules that specify a class are next. Rules that specify only tag names are the least specific, but rules that specify multiple nested tag names are more specific than rules that specify only a single tag name.
At the time of this writing, there are two versions of the CSS standard. CSS1 was adopted in December, 1996 and defines attributes for specifying colors, fonts, margins, borders, and other basic styles. Netscape 4 and Internet Explorer 4 both implement at least partial support for CSS1. The second edition of the standard, CSS2, was adopted in May, 1998; it defines a number of more advanced features, most notably support for absolute positioning of elements. The advanced features of CSS2 are supported only in sixth-generation browsers. Fortunately, however, the crucial positioning features of CSS2 began the standardization process as part of a separate CSS-Positioning (CSS-P) effort, and therefore some of these DHTML-enabling features are available in fourth-generation browsers. Work continues on a third edition of the CSS standard. You can find the CSS specifications and working drafts at http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/.
Example 18-1 is an HTML file that defines and uses a style sheet. It demonstrates the previously described tag name, class, and ID-based style rules, and it also has an example of an inline style defined with the style attribute. Remember that this example is meant only as an overview of CSS syntax and capabilities. Full coverage of CSS is beyond the scope of this book.
* and a yellow background with a fat red border.
* Text within an h1 or h2 heading within an element with class="WARNING"
* should be centered, in addition to appearing in blue italics.
Notice how it grabs your attention with its bold text and bright colors.
Also notice that the heading is centered and in blue italics.
Here we explicitly use an inline style to override the uppercase letters.

Hellooo! I hope you're all having a fab Easter Break! So far I am, minus the break part haha! To be fair, I took a day off on Monday.. but other than that, I've been rather busy! So Saturday I had the BEST day at the HBloggers networking and sampling event! I learnt lots, came away feeling very inspired and excited for my next steps, met more lovely foodies, ate and drank some tasty samples which I'll be for sure repurchasing and came away with a whole bag of goodies! Such an amazing day and I can't recommend them more to budding health bloggers! So that was a lovely and exciting Saturday! Sunday we chilled and I did a lot of website reorganising and updating. We also had a lovely roast, crumble and rainy but still lovely, walk in the countryside. Then Monday I actually took the day off and we went to Hull to take my brother back to university and went out for a lovely meal and wonder in the sun. So all pretty chilled and relaxed with a little work here and there and a whole lot of chocolate!!
Then this week has flown by! I'm sure I wasn't the only one thinking it was Monday on Tuesday?! So Tuesday I got my hair dyed for the first time (you can hear all about the drama on Instagram and It's ongoing….) I've also been making a whole lot of chocolates for orders and my special project! This weeks flavours so far have been pecan pie truffles, peanut butter pralines and lemon chocolates with crunchy strawberry bits. UMMMUMMM! All will be revealed soon! I've also been doing a lot of future thinking about studies and my business. Still lots more thinking to do too!! I've also been making efforts to talk to you guys more on Instagram and social media as I want you to get to know me and what I get up to behind the scenes and I also want to get to know you guys too! As I love this little community we're all building when we meet one another at the foodie and health events!! I do love a good babble anyway! Like my own diary, yet public… in a good way! Like a foodie/business/wellness diary! Anyway, it makes me more human instead of a picture of a pretty bowl of porridge, you get the best of both, a pretty bowl of porridge and the dramas of my day haha!
So today I'm sharing a super nourishing bowl of noodle miso goodness! I didn't use miso for yonks as I'm intolerant to grains and gluten and the only miso I could find was with grains. However, about a month ago, I decided to give it a whirl as my stomach is doing really well and only gets upset by my anxiety these days! Well I've been fine with it (touch wood) and now I cant get enough of it!! I don't know whether its because its fermented and unpasteurised and all round tummy loving orrrr whether my tummy is on the heal and mend and i'll be able to start reintroducing foods agin orrrrrrr both!! I hope for both but hey, either way, its a step in the right direction! My favourite miso to use is Clearspring brown rice miso as its got a wonderful depth, fullness and rich flavour. A little goes a long way and it's amazing in rich sauces, dressings, gravies, stews and even porridge.. I know, weird yet so so so so magical! So today I'm using good old tummy loving miso in a delicious buttery garlic sauce with a little tamari. It's a sauce of dreams and tastes again, magical. I bet this sauce would be delicious with meat and fish also or simply to dress a green salad or stir fry. Just making a bigger quantity and use it as you please but bare in mind, the butter will set once refrigerated. I've pared this lovely lush and comforting sauce with another favourite from Clearspring, their buckwheat noodles! They're the only brand of noodles that I've found that are grain and gluten free and still taste like the real deal with an extra nuttiness which I love. I've also added some steamed broccoli, onions and coriander to the mix, once combined, they all complement each other beautifully. Oh and an egg.. because well you can't go wrong with an egg now can you?!
Pop the noodles in a pan of boiling water, pull them apart with a fork to prevent them all sticking together for about two minutes and then add the broccoli and simmer for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, boil the eggs for 10 minutes in a seperate pan.
Whilst they're cooking, toast the seeds in a dry non stick pan until golden. Pour into a bowl and put to one side.
Now in the same pan over a medium heat, fry the garlic in the butter until golden.
Turn off the heat and pour the mix into a small bowl.
Whisk in the miso and tamari.
Drain the noddles and broccoli and then divide them up between two bowls.
Remove the eggs from the pan and run under cold water until cool enough to handle.
Pop one egg in each bowl with the chopped onion, coriander and sesame seeds.
Spoon over the miso dressing and serve.


This is a new slot game coming from the lab of NYX Interactive and their subsidiary, better known as NextGen Gaming. As You can probably guess from the title, this game is based on a science lab theme and features symbols such as atoms and molecules all over the reels.
I must admit that I've never been a fan of chemistry or science for that reason, but NYX have managed to create a slot machine game that actually might get me excited. I definitely got there after taking a look at the free spins feature that allows me to choose the features I want enabled during them! This is another great example of how to "sell" a game.
NextGen has been launching several new slots on a monthly basis and we've been genuinely impressed by the quality of those. This is very true for The Spin Lab slot, which has a completely unique vibe to it and a playing panel that feels like nothing we've used before.
Though it's all in the design, as when it comes to usability and actual functions, the game plays much like other NextGen powered slots.
The typical "i" button is available in the game and that's where information about every single feature and symbol in the game can be found. You can also read the rules and learn how pay-lines are generated and awarded. The note button below can be used to enable or disable sounds, which are fairly loud as always on NextGen slot machines.
Then You'll get the two triangle shaped arrows that are always a part of NYX slot machines. Use these two adjust the bet size for the following spin. You can also place the max bet with a single click by pressing on the coins button located on top of the arrows.
Other buttons are the classic gamble, auto-play and spin ones. As always in slot games from this company, auto-play is very basic and allows You to choose between 5 and 100 spins. Gamble feature is a way to double or quadruple Your wager by guessing the suit or color of a card that has been turned upside down.
The Spin-Lab Bonus is the main feature available in this slot and awarded when 3 or more scatter symbols appear anywhere on the reels. Once triggered, You are offered a choice to select three features that You would like to be active during the free spin rounds.
Symbols The Same – choose a symbol that will represent Cube, Atom, Molecule and DNA symbols in one. Anytime these appear they will be treated as one, allowing You to win more frequently than ever before!
Symbols Stacked – choose a symbol that You would like to appear as a stacked one. This improves Your chances of winning in multiple ways as one symbol can potentially cover the whole screen.
Symbol Prizes – anytime a symbol, that You selected in this feature, appears on the reels, You win an instant cash prize. Simple as that!
Wilds Stacked – all wilds are now stacked symbols allowing You to form winning pay-lines where they would otherwise not be formed!
Extra Wilds – get additional wilds added to reels!
Wilds Multiplier – earn a multiplier of up to x10 whenever wild symbol is a part of a winning pay-line.
All Wins Multiplier – get a x2 multiplier on all wins generated.
Pays Both Ways – now winning pay-lines will be formed from leftmost to rightmost and the other way around. Just like they are in the popular Starburst slot from NetEnt!
Extra 5 Free Games – get 5 additional free spins added.
It's worth pointing out that 3 scatters will only award You with 5 free spins so additional 5 free games might come in handy to have a decent shot at taking advantage of any features listed above.
Are You ready to play The Spin Lab for real money? We recommend doing that at Vegas Paradise Casino – a new online casino launched in 2014.
They offer over 200 online slots for play on Your PC or mobile phone along with great bonus deals for new and loyal players alike. Join now to receive a 100% match bonus offer, up to $/£200 on Your first deposit!
