![]() I have converted 200+ PSD to responsive HTML email template in different marketplaces. In the example the misalignment is obvious because of the way the columns are shown, but in the real world it would barely be noticable, especially when dealing with ragged-right type.I am Responsive Email template developer in table format with inline style CSS. If you’re a pedant, this might keep you awake at night, but I tend to take a more pragmatic approach to web design and accept that a little inconsistency never killed anyone. In Webkit browsers, an error with the way the rendering engine treats percentages means that although we’re dealing with whole numbers, the widths can actually appear as if they’re slightly off: Left: at certain browser widths, Safari fails to interpret percentages correctly and introduces slight alignment inconsistencies. I expect some people will also complain about there only being six columns, but personally I like to keep things simple: nice big numbers and nice big columns. I’ve included guides in the PSD to indicate where they’d usually be, if that helps. Caveat 1: marginsĪ small caveat is that the 1000px grid assumes you’re not bothered about gutters on either side of the container, which might bother some people depending on the way you do your column margins. ![]() The point is that it’s about making our lives easier, and 1000px happens to be an extremely easy number to deal with. In fact, I’m not even saying that we should all start using grids whose containers are specifically 1000px. I should point out here that I’m not proposing a new framework. The days of worrying about absolute widths have passed. If we’re building fluid designs, the simple reality is that your grid can be whatever size you want, because we’re concerned only with relative widths. But the 960 grid was born in a world of fixed-width layouts. That holy number has served us perfectly well, dividing easily into multiple columns and accounting for browser chrome on 1024 screens to define an accepted ‘safe area’. And, in the interest of showing how a static Photoshop file can translate into a fluid web page, here’s an HTML demo.īut what about our precious 960 grids? I hear you cry. A 500px column in a 1000px container is 50%. A 140px column inside a 1000px container is 14%. Dividing by 1000 results in clean percentages and better still, dividing by 1000 is something we can do in our heads: just remove the zero. ![]() It doesn’t matter that there are great calculation tools built into TextMate to do the maths for you the point is that the final figure looks like an arbitrary number with no immediate relation to either the container’s pixel width (960) or the element’s pixel width (140).Ĭompare that to a container that has a width of 1000px. Now, I don’t know about you, but numbers like that look a little scary. If, for example, you’re designing with a 960px grid in Photoshop and you have six columns, each 140px wide, you divide 140 by 960 to get your percentage-based width: 14.583333%. In making the move to responsive web design, one of the potential hurdles is the rather awkward maths for calculating the percentage-based widths necessary for fluid layouts.

![]() In the rest of the world, the app is called TikTok and is available in 154 countries worldwide.Ĭurrently, 40% of TikTok users are located outside China. TikTok is named Douyin in China, and currently has a userbase of over 250 Million users. As of July 2019, TikTok has over 500million total installs on the Google Play Store. TikTok became the most downloaded app on the Apple App store in early 2018, surpassing Instagram, WhatsApp, and YouTube. With this unified brand and user base, the app began to increase in popularity very quickly. In 2018, Bytedance consolidated the user accounts of Musical.ly and TikTok, merging the two apps into one under the name TikTok. In late 2017, Musical.ly was acquired by ByteDance for a fee of $800 Million. Within a year, the TikTok app had more than 100 million users, and the popularity of lip sync videos continued to rise. ![]() Launched initially only in China, the app was renamed and rebranded to TikTok for better international appeal. In 2016, Chinese app developer ByteDance created an app named Douyin, a rival to Musical.ly. By mid-2017, the Musical.ly app had over 200 Million users. The most popular use of the app was to create videos where they were lip-syncing and dancing. The main purpose of Musical.ly was user-generated videos that combined popular songs with videos from the users (often called Musers). In 2014, a social media app named Musical.ly (pronounced Musical-ly) became incredibly popular with the 13-18 year old demographic. Musical.ly was a popular lip-syncing app until it was acquired and merged into TikTok in 2017.
![]() Taylor-Johnson and Marcel add humour the book lacks. The movie also doesn't meander the way the book does, although for those keeping score at home, Christian doesn't administer his first spanking until the 1:40 mark of this two-hour tumble.Īna seems less of a little girl lost here, in part due to Johnson's convincing performance, although that annoying lip-biting habit remains and the dear lamb seems to have no idea what a butt plug is used for. ![]() Wisely dispensing with voice-over narrative, they've excised the "holy crap!" and "oh my" expletives that litter Ana's first-person account in the book (although Christian's bizarre "Laters, baby!" remains). ![]() They had an almost impossible task, trying to create a soft-porn romance that would arouse everyone while offending no one. Banks") deserve considerable credit for turning James' risible drivel into something resembling an adult romance, if not a mature one. In fact, director Sam Taylor-Johnson ("Nowhere Boy") and screenwriter Kelly Marcel ("Saving Mr. It sets up the story for multiple sequels rather than being a single satisfying movie.īut it's not a disaster. Something along the lines, say, of Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell in "His Girl Friday" or Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in "You've Got Mail."Īlas, "Fifty Shades of Grey" also aspires to make a big weepy statement, the familiar one about the good girl redeeming the naughty boy who swears he can't feel love, but it fails in that regard as well. If this movie wasn't trying so desperately to shock and offend, this alpha male versus feisty female conceit could be remounted as a screwball comedy. The cat o' nine tails he wields in his "Red Room of Pain" is one tame tabby, and when he speaks of being "bone-twitchingly mad" at Ana for her disobedient behaviour, he barely seems peeved. He looks younger, softer and considerably less menacing than the Olympian figure of purple prose, described as having "unfathomable grey eyes." She looks older and more experienced than the virginal college student of the E.L. Most problematic is the pairing of relative unknowns Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan as Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, the submissive/dominant duo of the story about a Seattle billionaire seeking to explore his violent sexual fetishes with a compliant female. There are fragrance commercials with more bedroom heat than this.Ĭuriosity will have "Fifty Shades" fans flocking to multiplexes this weekend but disappointment will in all likelihood be sending them home. The sex scenes are so bland, the film could almost be shown on aircraft as is. Vainly seeking to reach the widest possible audience, the makers of this exercise in banality stripped it of almost anything that could cause offence. The film is McKinky for the masses, with lots of nudity (mostly female), but very little of the erotic punishment explored in the book. A pulpy sex novel becomes a surprisingly conventional romance as "mommy porn" phenomenon "Fifty Shades of Grey" slides onto the silver screen. ![]() The endings aren't as bad as these comments are making them out to be. She has no real connection to the characters or players besides summoning a Kraken at the beginning. I saved her in this last play through, and she fights for you or helps elderly and children. Wendigo was the narrator and she was pretty much irrelevant to the story. But they really need to work on ironing out their story arch. And the elves dying some how weakened a god? Why? Aren't their deaths literally what the gods feed off of? Shouldn't the elf god been uber powerful right after the death fog was used? I really enjoyed the game. Somehow you becoming divine with more power than Lucian and more power than all 7 gods means you can't keep the void in check? What? They were clearly in check before. You are just left with "Well the gods are *******s, they deserved to be wiped out." The endings were a bunch of mixed bags with little relevance to player choices throughout the game. There is so much more wanting from this and yet the game does not deliver. Literally the races wouldn't exist without the gods based on the story written. This is just a mess of half thought up ideas. Pillars of Eternity actually had these mechanics laid out and you could understand how soul essence is gathered. The game makes the gods out to be bad because they are "feeding" on source of their worshippers. He could have easily rounded up the sorcerors without any such deception. Was there any other choice? Lucian magically out witted the gods who had been alive and watching over the world for how many thousands of years? Tenebrium? Really? So he faked his death and was instantly moved there? And how did he know that would block the gods from seeing? How was he still consuming their source while surrounded by Tenebrium? Why even fake your ****ing death? Everyone worshipped him. Dallis called you predictable? For **** sake you're the Godwoken of course you had to go to the ****ing island. People who are complaining about the ending failed to pay attention to some of the awful plot throughout the game.

Pesetas could still be changed at high-street banks, although eventually this stopped and they had to be returned to the Bank of Spain if their owners wanted the euro equivalent.Ī total of €1.6 billion in pesetas remains in circulation somewhere - either through Spaniards not realising they can change them, or because they are kept as souvenirs, particularly among foreign holidaymakers. It is nearly 18 years since the euro was introduced, initially running parallel with the peseta, but soon replacing it altogether as legal tender.īy the start of summer 2002, the euro was the only accepted currency, but Spain did not have enough coins and notes in circulation to guarantee providing change for large amounts, causing difficulties at first. 1935 Old Spanish Trail Quadricentennial Commemorative Silver Half. Smaller amounts for more recent coins can be earned on eBay, Foronum and Todo Colección - a 1987 coin can fetch €45, a 100-peseta one from 1983, up to €55, a 50-peseta coin from 1984 up to €70, a 25-peseta coin from as recently as 1995 can earn you €100, and a 100-peseta coin from 1966 or a five-peseta version from 1975 could net you €400 each. 1935 Old Spanish Trail Quadricentennial Commemorative Silver Half Dollar Coin Obverse. So far, the most lucrative coin sale reported has been that of a five-peseta 1949 piece (pictured), auctioned by Cayón Subastas for a start price of €30,000, but which eventually went for an eye-watering €36,000. Three thousand pesetas will enable you to escape to Cuba if your schemes fail.

One of the most sought-after by collectors is the 2.5-peseta coin from 1946 - before Franco appeared on the reverse - and the non-circulating 'test coins' can fetch up to €10,500. Jaime handed ten pesetas to the man next to him to be passed to the vendor. Depending on condition, they are worth between 12,000 and 20,000. Peseta coins sold to date have fetched between €45 and €20,000, according to the dealer site Thelemonapp.Įxamples include one-peseta coins dating from 1947 - these 72-year-old pieces were the first in which dictator General Franco's face appeared on the reverse and are known colloquially as rubias ('blondes'), and have fetched between €200 and €1,400.Ī 2.5-peseta coin from 1953, currently very difficult to find, has a market value of between €750 and €1,700, and the 50-peseta coins minted in 1957 'retail' at about €775 on eBay - although the 'test versions' which were not actually released into circulation have been sold for as much as €10,000.

If the listed price seems high (and Craigslist prices often are), be prepared to negotiate a better deal armed with the info gained from your research and a stack of printouts of the previous eBay sales.ģ – If you don’t know a lot about computers, take along a knowledgeable friend who can help you determine the quality and an accurate value of the system.Īs I mentioned earlier, it’s a good idea to take a friend along anyway, especially if you have never met the seller before.Ĥ – Before you leave to meet the seller, contact him/her and ask them to have the machine powered up and running when you get there. While you won’t come away with a definite fair price, you will be able to get an average sale price.Ĭompare that average price to the price listed in the Craigslist ad. You definitely don’t want to end up paying 2017 or 2018 prices for a machine that’s actually quite old in tech years.Ģ – Know what used computers of that brand and model typically sell for by searching for it on eBay. Many used computers will look virtually brand new even though they’re really several years old. That way you’ll know if the one you’re interested in buying was downgraded in any way before it was listed for sale.Īlso, familiarize yourself with the approximate age of the computer you’re thinking about buying by typing the computer’s brand and model number into Google along with the words “release date”. That will make your meeting a LOT safer.Īnd now that the most important tip is out of the way, here are a few tips for safely buying a used computer on Craigslist:ġ – Research the particular computer you’re interested in purchasing by Googling the brand and model number.įamiliarize yourself with the hardware specifications (specs) and the Operating System version that originally came with the machine. Also, think twice before giving a stranger your phone number.Īnd before you leave, tell a trusted friend EXACTLY where you’re going, including the physical address And then let the seller know that you have shared that information with a friend. ![]() ![]() I recommend that you never let strangers come to your home under any circumstances, and when you visit a seller’s home ALWAYS take a friend with you. Craigslist is the most popular classified ads website in the world, and if you’re really careful you can find some real bargains on used computers on there.īut if you aren’t careful it’s very easy to get scammed or taken advantage of as well.įirst and foremost, you need to protect yourself by always keeping your personal safety in mind when dealing with strangers over the Internet. There are currently some patches in JIRA for Lucene that implement ML algorithms. Ingersoll also described a new project named Mahout which he is in the process of launching: That will be a separate project, but may be beneficial to Lucene users. The Lucene community as a whole was also discussed, with Ingersoll indicating that Lucene and Solr have a strong integration, and that Nutch, Tika and Hadoop also enjoyed a fair amount of intercommunication. The 3.0 version will be a major release which will involve moving the codebase to JDK 5 as the minimum supported codebase - the other major features of 3.0 are yet to be determined. The 2.9 release will be a relatively minor, with items being marked as deprecated and other clean-up being performed in preparation for Lucene 3.0. ![]() Ingersoll also discussed the future plans for Lucene, saying that the next release would be 2.9. A comprehensive changelog is also available. In addition, 2.3 is intended to be a drop-in replacement for 2.2, with no recompilation required. Easier IndexWriter tuning - The setMaxBufferedDocs method has been supplanted by the more intuitive setRAMBufferSizeMB method.IndexReader reopening - Reopening an IndexReader to capture the latest changes in an index is now much faster with the new reopen() method, which loads in only those index segments which have changed rather than reloading the entire index.Object pooling - Document, Field and Token instances can now be reused during indexing analysis, which both speeds up analysis and reduces the number of allocations during indexing.Improved index management - long pauses which were occasionally seen during indexing due to merging of internal index files have been eliminated, and other approaches to managing the indexing process are now easy to implement.According to Ingersoll, simply switching the existing Lucene 2.2 JAR for a Lucene 2.3 JAR resulted in speed-ups of 500% in indexing performance in several tests which were performed. Ingersoll indicated that the largest change in this release is a new indexing algorithm, which uses new in-memory models to achieve large speed improvements. InfoQ spoke with committer and Project Management Committee (PMC) member Grant Ingersoll to learn more about this release and the future plans for Lucene. ![]() ![]() The Apache Lucene project, a high-performance full-featured text search engine library written entirely in Java, released version 2.3 today. |
