On Scroll Header Effects with CSS Transitions At the present time, eminent breeders try by methodical selection, with a distinct object in view, to make a new strain or sub-breed, superior to anything of the kind in the country. But, for our purpose, a form of selection, which may be called unconscious, and which results from every one trying to possess and breed from the best individual animals, is more important. Thus, a man who intends keeping pointers naturally tries to get as good dogs as he can, and afterwards breeds from his own best dogs, but he has no wish or expectation of permanently altering the breed. Nevertheless we may infer that this process, continued during centuries, would improve and modify any breed, in the same way as Bakewell, Collins, etc., by this very same process, only carried on more methodically, did greatly modify, even during their lifetimes, the forms and qualities of their cattle.

A clean and classy CSS framework. | Workless Inspiration for Article Intro Effects | Demo 1 We may define a food to be any substance which will repair the functional waste of the body, increase its growth, or maintain the heat, muscular, and nervous energy. In its most comprehensive sense, the oxygen of the air is a food; as although it is admitted by the lungs, it passes into the blood, and there re-acts upon the other food which has passed through the stomach. It is usual, however, to restrict the term food to such nutriment as enters the body by the intestinal canal. Many popular writers have divided foods into flesh-formers, heat-givers, and bone-formers. These last are not strictly foods, if we keep to the definition already given; but they are consumed with the true foods or nutrients, comprised in the other two classes, and cannot well be excluded from consideration. Water forms an essential part of all the tissues of the body. Mineral Matter or Salts, is left as an ash when food is thoroughly burnt. Flesh-formers, heat-givers, and bone-formers Soaking in cold water
Centering in CSS: A Complete Guide Centering things in CSS is the poster child of CSS complaining. Why does it have to be so hard? They jeer. I think the issue isn't that it's difficult to do, but in that there so many different ways of doing it, depending on the situation, it's hard to know which to reach for. So let's make it a decision tree and hopefully make it easier. I need to center... Horizontally Is it inline or inline-* elements (like text or links)? You can center inline elements horizontally, within a block-level parent element, with just: This will work for inline, inline-block, inline-table, inline-flex, etc. Is it a block level element? You can center a block-level element by giving it margin-left and margin-right of auto (and it has a set width, otherwise it would be full width and wouldn't need centering). This will work no matter what the width of the block level element you're centering, or the parent. Note that you can't float an element to the center. Is there more than one block level element? Vertically

Multi-Level Push Menu v2.0.9, Please Stop "Fixing" Font Smoothing - The Usability Post I wrote two posts on the topic of WebKit font smoothing before, but unfortunately the situation has grown worse since then. In allowing the designer to pick their own font smoothing mode with the -webkit-font-smoothing CSS property, WebKit developers have opened up an opportunity for typographic abuse, namely, the disabling of subpixel font rendering. As I mentioned before, WebKit gives designers three font smoothing modes: Nothing, which gives you jagged fontsSubpixel-rendering, i.e. the default font smoothing mode that is used for most other stuff on your desktop OS (mobile devices don’t use subpixel rendering due to having to suport both vertical and horizontal screen orientations)Antialiased, which disables subpixel-rendering and smoothes the font on the level of the pixel, as opposed to the subpixel. Why the choice? Abusing antialiasing But upon closer inspection, antialiased text is always blurrier than subpixel rendered text. It’s not a “fix” Why do designers keep misusing it?
