Here are 3 key benefits from 'Urban Business' that are worth your time and resources-
- Get visibility at zero cost
As urban business is a free business listing website, you can channelize your monthly budget for business promotion to other important tasks. The serious users looking for reliable solutions are more than likely to convert if given the just treatment right from the very beginning of your interaction with them. This also means that the placement of your website on the internet platform or the ranking on the SERPs influences the visitors' perception in a subtle way. Therefore, it is vital that this aspect is never ignored.
- Earn traffic that truly engages
As your business is found at a site that is nothing but an umbrella for all the nearby service providers, the traffic that is earned is much closer to become a qualified lead in much lesser time as against the conventional process. The only challenge that remains for you as a smart business doer is to lay a solid foundation for the future interaction with your potential customers who is more than interested in learning about your offered products/services.
- Expand business in a smarter way
The smarter a technique is the more economical it must be. Do you agree? The good news is that this new age online platform offers you a digital solution that can be termed as smart and is economical as well. As you require a fruitful relationship with not only the customers but the other key stakeholders such as investors, export partners or manufacturers as well, there is a need for supply of adequate information that can be used in an effective way. So, let the information flow freely through multiple platforms!
To conclude, Urban Business maximizes your profits while minimizing your business risks (especially for start-ups) by bringing the interested parties under one roof to enquire, discuss and take action! Will it be wise to delay swelling up your profits even now?

I spend so much of my life looking forward (where should I go next? How do I get there? I wish…), but sometimes it is really special to take a look back, even to the bad times. On the surface, I lost everything during the 12 months I lived in this apartment, but even as I thought my life was OVER, all kinds of things were brewing in my little home, not only in my own life but in the lives of at least two of my neighbors, one of them a fellow travel blogger, another now in the international news for all the wrong reasons….
A quick, painful look back

Alia Al Farsi - an ineffable belief in the need to explore inner beauty and to help project it to discerning viewers.
Alia Al Farsi holds an ineffable belief in the need to explore inner beauty and to help project it to discerning viewers. Not hindered by stereotypical definitions of art and the means of expressing it, she imbues a sense of style in all that she creates. A firm believer that art needs strong roots but these should not act as barriers to creativity and hence her interpretations of Arabic art take on cerebral forms and textures.
The scale of what she can create spans from intricate palm sized boxes to large wall paintings and even air-force jet fighters. Her recent foray into furniture, sculptures, installations, and object painting allows her to showcase and express her talent beyond two-dimensional settings of the canvas. Complex pieces with multi-faceted subjects sit next to paintings that use old coins and textiles from the Far East. Her strong spiritual grounding and interest in the philosophies of Sufism is captured in the movements, facial expressions and reflective looks of her paintings.
She has exhibited internationally with solo shows in Tokyo, Seoul, Paris, and Brussels. Having established her credibility as a serious artist with a clear message, she has also exhibited with similar minded artists in Stockholm, Berlin, Shanghai, Abu Dhabi, and Geneva amongst many exhibitions over the past 20 years and in over 20 countries. She is also the recipient of numerous awards, was voted amongst the top Arab women, obtained an MBA from Bedfordshire University and has explored graphic design at Central Saint Martin. Her works are exhibited in museums including the Arab World Institute in Paris and in prestigious hotels in the region. An active participant in social media, she sees the potential of using these new media frontiers for spreading her message to art connoisseurs around the world.

The White Wolves
I paint when discussion is pointless, so I'm not interested in discussing a pictorial narrative, if one is suggested by this painting. Discussion is for logic and reason. I just assume shut up much of the time. Especially when it comes to art.
It's a bit ironic that the act of painting is, in theory, a way to simplify. It is an ancient act with primitive roots, yet the complexity of painting, with its infinite forms, mimics the complexities of life.

Data center providers are increasingly replacing traditional in-house server rooms managed by a company's IT staff. As the world moves to the cloud, leading providers are also shifting their focus from pursuing traditional business customers to meeting the needs of large cloud service providers like AWS, Google, and Microsoft.
Some data center providers specialize in serving customers who prefer certain types of hosting models. Data collected by our Global Sensor Network has revealed that startups favor cloud solutions largely due to cost constraints. Conversely, enterprise businesses can afford to invest more in hybrid and data center models for greater flexibility and security.
Our 2019 Data Center Market Report focuses on the distribution and growth of applications across cloud, hybrid, and data center environments. In this article, we'll hone in on the largest data center providers and compare customer size and spend trends across them.
Download the 2019 Data Center Market Report
Who are the largest data center providers, and how do they compare? First, let's take a look at how hosting environments vary in general by company size.

The Top 3: CenturyLink, Equinix, and NTT Communications
Now that we've had a snapshot of the six biggest providers, let's dig a little deeper into the top three.
The top three providers (CenturyLink, Equinix, and NTT Communications) collectively hold an impressive 45% of the market share. Here's more information on each of them.
Headquartered in Monroe, Louisiana, CenturyLink is a member of the S&P 500 Index and has been on the Fortune 500 list for 10 years, currently ranking #132. CenturyLink has 45,000 employees and serves global enterprise customers across North America, Latin America, EMEA, and the Asia Pacific.
CenturyLink's roots trace back to 1930. The company was a family-owned business for thirty-eight years before it incorporated in 1968. It is currently a $23 billion organization.
The smallest company of the top three data center providers, Equinix has almost 8,000 employees and is headquartered in Redwood City, California. It hasn't cracked the Fortune 500 yet, but currently ranks #539 with revenues of $5 billion.
Equinix leads in global colocation data center market share, with data centers in 24 countries on five continents.
NTT Communications
Headquartered in Tokyo, NTT Communications is a subsidiary of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT). In business since 1999, it is the largest telecommunications company in Japan and one of the largest worldwide.
NTT is a $107 billion organization with just over 300,000 employees in 88 countries. It's ranked 64th in the Fortune Global 500 and partners with up to 88% of the Fortune Global 100 companies.
Comparing Leading Data Center Providers by Customer Size
CenturyLink, Equinix, and Cyxtera specialize in data center solutions geared toward enterprises. Data Foundry focuses more on startups and SMBs.
Comparing Leading Data Center Providers by Customer Spend
CenturyLink and Equinix have the largest percentage of customers who spend more than $100K per month (estimated) on cloud services.
Data Foundry has nearly four times more customers than Equinix. The vast majority are startups and spend less than $1K per month on cloud services, which makes sense given their strategy as a startup and SMB provider. A little more than one percent of Data Foundry's customers spend more than $100K per month.

Prior to 2005, though credit counseling in the United States was generally advisable for individual debtors, it was not imposed upon them as a prior condition before petitioning for bankruptcy. With the passage of the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005, Chapter 7 filings require credit counseling as a prerequisite.
In terms of the actual time spent in a session prior to filing for bankruptcy, credit counseling does not take long at all. A typical credit counseling session takes anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half to complete, and only one session is needed to be attended for fulfillment of this requirement.
Moreover, bankruptcy credit counseling may not even include a trip to another facility. Although there are in-person sessions, which might actually be more practical for some people, counseling may also be conducted over the phone or over the Internet.
A sore spot for many debtors regarding compulsory credit counseling is the fact that it does not come for free. As a result, for those who are already suffering under debt-related financial obligations, hence the application for bankruptcy, credit counseling is most unwelcome despite how practical it may really be as far as recognition of the implications of bankruptcy goes.
Generally, the cost of a counseling session is $50, although this can vary based on the jurisdiction. Despite the relatively short time it takes to complete credit counseling, proof of fulfillment of this step in the bankruptcy application process is no small matter.

Below, we're adding some thoughts, hints, tips and gotchas - based on issues we've encountered.
We don't pretend to be 'world experts' in web design (webdes). We do it in our spare time (unpaid). We've focused on the 'core' things - like HTML, CSS, SSIs.
We've nervously started dipping our toes in the water with things like PHP and JavaScript.
Alas, we know next-to-nothing about whole areas of the subject - such as PERL, CGI, ASP, Java, Ruby, Flash, e-commerce. We're keen to learn - but there's only so many hours in a day.
If you do web design professionally (full-time), we take our hats off to you.
You'll fall off your chair laughing at some of the amateurish things we've done on the website (but we have the best of intentions).
We've added a list of headings as usual - at the top of this page.
However (as an experiment) we've also added a copy of this list of headings to the right-hand side of the page. This right-hand panel stays fixed to the screen, always visible wherever you are on the page. Because it's an unusually long list, we've made it scrollable.`
On this page, this right-hand list of headings is done using an HTML iframe (position:fixed;). We've used an SSI for the contents of the headings - so it can be used twice. There's no JavaScript involved.
If you're not familiar with SSIs, we suggest you try them out. We use them all over the site. They're a very useful way of embedding standard bits of web page into several web pages. Examples: headers and footers.
SSIs are generic and free. They work with all browsers - because they insert (ie 'include') the text into each page on the host's server computer before your browser downloads it (which is why they're called 'Server Side').
Normally, pages with SSIs have an .shtml extension (rather than .htm or .html). This is because the host server computer won't scan a web page to check for SSIs unless it has an .shtml extension. The initial "s" stands for server side include.
Below is an example of the code you embed in a web page to include an SSI :

You place this "#include" statement where you want it to appear in the "receiving" page. You'll notice it's based on a bog-standard HTML comment statement, as follows :

"Included" files (such as the "footer" one above) use ordinary HTML and CSS. However, because they're embedded in an existing page (usually in the ), you have to exclude any code that's already in the "receiving" page. So, for instance, normally you wouldn't place an  tag or  information in an "included" SSI file.
You can give any name or extension to the "included" file.
You can nest SSIs - in other words have an SSI within an SSI (so long as the "receiving" page has an .shtml extension).
FrontPage 2000 allows SSIs but doesn't show them in WYSIWYG mode, alas.
However, Dreamweaver (eg v8) does show SSIs in Design (WYSIWYG) mode - phew.
PHP has equivalents of SSIs and it's more sophisticated. Pages using PHP have a .php extension. Like SSIs, PHP is generic and free.
We use menus supplied by Milonic - a British company. They're free for non-commercial websites. They use JavaScript (JS). The features are more sophisticated than with most other menu products. However, Milonic have never produced a front-end program/interface to allow you to design the menus easily (eg WYSIWYG). So you have to hard-code them in a text editor - which is tedious and time-consuming. See the Help page for more information on the drop-down menus used on our site.
Other suppliers of JavaScript menus include :
Nowadays there are good menus available which don't need JavaScript - they ingeniously use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Typically, they rely on the ":hover" feature of CSS to expand and collapse the menu items.
Usually, with (a) the site menus described above, and (b) any table of contents (ToC) for a page, they're located at the top of the page - and their position is "static". So, when you scroll down, the menu and/or table of contents disappear. Of course, you can return to the top easily (eg by pressing the Home key). This works fine for going to the site menu (in order to go to another page). However, it's a pain for navigating within the page (using a table of contents) - especially if it's a long page. We can see three solutions to this.
The 1st solution: HTML frames
|Headings =Table of Contents (ToC)
|contents frame
In the early days of the Net (1990s) people got round this by using frames - they put their table of contents (with links) in a fixed frame panel. Frames are an ingenious feature of HTML, which allows you to split the screen into two or more rectangular panels. You can 'fix' any of the panels - so they don't move away (disappear) when you scroll up and down. However, these days, frames are often frowned upon ('deprecated' to use the jargon). Search engines have problems linking to them and indexing them. Also, they can be difficult to print from.
Many other types of program use a similar-looking arrangement (of a ToC in the left-hand panel, and contents in the right-hand panel) - for example MS Word's outline facility, Acrobat, Windows Help, Windows Explorer. It's so intuitive and ergonomic. Simultaneously, you can see the contents and the table of contents. There are a few hardcopy publications (eg books) which have a fold-out table of contents to give you this facility.
The 2nd solution: CSS
Nowadays, to some extent you can imitate frames by using CSS - especially by using the "position:fixed" command. This "glues" a piece of web page to your screen. You can define the exact position (X-Y coordinates) in pixels - with reference to two of the four sides - top or bottom, left or right. Example: "top:20px; right:100px;"
We've been experimenting with this on some lengthy pages (to make navigation easier) - such as :
With the first few pages, we did it by adding a small strip containing a drop-down table-of-contents menu for the page, as follows :
Perhaps one of these days someone will point us in the direction of a ready-made utility that will do all this - perhaps a snippet of CSS or JavaScript code.
The 3rd solution: browser add-ons
Of the five main browsers, we know of two which have add-ons that do this sort of thing (Opera and Firefox). These add-ons are more sophisticated and reliable than our amateur method.
However, the snag with these add-ons is that the user has to :
But we can't dictate to people what browser (or add-ons) they should be using. So, our menu strip gets round this problem - because it works with all browsers (because it's embedded in the web page).
The Opera browser's free add-on is a lovely extension, called "Table of Contents", designed by Dodo87 Wherever you are on a web page, you get a realtime-generated, unobtrusive (translucent), clickable list of all the headings on the web page, in the form of a drop-down menu - descending from the top right of the screen - when you hover over it. It's especially useful with longer web pages. We wish the author of this Opera add-on (Dodo) would develop versions for other browsers - and make a version that could be embedded in web pages.
Our home-made fixed menu strip described above is based on this Opera design.
The Firefox browser's free add-on is also good. It's called ' HeadingsMap'; it's by Rumoroso It's similar to Opera's table-of-contents add-on described above. However, it uses a permanently visible panel (on the left-hand side) - a 'sidebar'. So it's more traditional-looking, resembling a frame. If you're pushed for screen width (eg 800x600), you can straddle Firefox across two monitors, with just the HeadingsMap on the left-hand monitor. By the way, the add-on has various options (by right-click) - eg it lets you collapse and expand parts of the headings. The add-on's sidebar has a sub-heading called "Document structure".
You can also see a list of the headings on a web page via the Developer Tools in most browsers (built-in utilities or add-ons).
We're experimenting with using 'border' to get dotted or dashed lines with hr tags.
It makes a half-hearted attempt at complying. We better stick with our day jobs.
Our idea was to make the height zero (so the rule is invisible), then use border-top and/or border-bottom - which allows you to use a solid line - or dots or dashes.
Also, we found you can use CSS3's border-radius to round the ends.
This was more successful.
Example 1 -
 with thin dotted line
- see the lines between these web design sections on this page.
Example 2 -
 with thick solid line, rounded ends - see line below
(if you're using Internet Explorer, you need v9+ to see the rounded ends) :
We've used this quite a bit on the website.
It's more flexible than an hr tag (given that hr only gives a solid line officially).
'Border-top' with tags like <h> or
 allows you to make the line dotted or dashed.
Do it by inserting a border-top style in (say) an h or p or ul tag,
or doing it as a class (eg call it: .bt-line).
You can put the class in each tag, or in a
 around a sequence of sections when you
want to have a line above each section.
Garnish with padding-top and/or margin-top as needed
(so you get the right height of white space above and below the line).
Example - (a) the code :

[text...]

Example - (b) the code in action (giving the green line above the 'Happiness' heading below) :
Border-top also has the advantage that it prints out with browsers.
By contrast, it seems that
 horizontal rules don't print out by default.
Note - Please forgive us if you think our efforts below are a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Bear in mind that part of our reason for doing it was to learn more about HTML and CSS - and we enjoyed experimenting.
There are two types of links on a website :
Typically, external links are configured so they open in a new browser window (this is done by using target="_blank" in the  tag). Out of courtesy to users, many sites indicate this somehow - by using (say) a symbol - immediately after the underlined link text.
Over the years we've tried out different ideas to achieve this.
Our earliest method was just a red-coloured chevron (arrow) of two 'greater-than' text characters thus: >> Example: www.gov.uk >>
Initially, with each occurrence, we just typed the two 'greater-than' characters, then made them red and bold.
Later, we used a CSS style to give the color and bold. Obviously this made it more flexible - we could now instantly change their appearance across the site by making one change in the external style sheet. However, we were stuck with the >> symbol.
Later on, we used a GIF image of two red arrows, thus: Example: www.gov.uk
We named the image: "extlink.gif".
1. It looks nicer than the >> symbol.
2. You can change the image easily - by changing the image called 'extlink.gif'.
This allows you to change the shape of the symbol, its size, colour etc.
1. Inserting the image is more time-consuming than method 1.
2. You're stuck with the filename and file type.
3. On the face of it, you can't use CSS to style it (unless you add a class="xxx" to each occurrence of the image).
4. You're stuck with using an image to indicate each external link
5. You can't change the position of the indicator (it's immediately after the link)
We kept looking out for a "better" way of indicating an external link. Inspired by the principles of CSS, we were looking for :
Options :
Eventually we came up with the eccentric method below (which we've used successfully for several years) . . .
We place the following peculiar bit of code immediately after the end of each  closing tag :
<var> </var>
You can see it's a pair of <var> tags with two non-breaking spaces (NBSPs) in between. (It doesn't work if you use ordinary spaces.) It's easy to remember - and it's short and quick to insert. It's 23 characters, but needs only 13 keystrokes (or a single macro). You don't need to add a class="xxx" statement to it - or an image.
'var' stands for 'variable'. The tag is intended to be used for styling variables in program code listings on a web page.
Our choice of the <var> tag was arbitrary - see the list below of several other little-used tags which we could have chosen instead - eg <tt> or  or
By default, our bit of <var> code above just displays as two spaces.
However, in our external CSS style sheet we've redefined the standard HTML var element.
We've told it to use a background image (no repeat) of two red arrows thus:
This method works nicely - allowing you to change the image easily :
This solves the problem with CSS that you can't normally change content across a site - you can only change style (size, colour, layout etc) of existing text characters, images and the like. However, by using an image (as a background), we found you could get round this limitation. Ironically, we've never yet changed the image that we first used.
In the web design programs we use, initially we found a slight problem with our bit of <var> code - the arrows image (background image) doesn't show up in design mode. However, we got round this by using CSS's text-decoration:line-through; on the <var> to give a reassuring short red line in design mode (where the arrows image would appear in your browser) thus:
The next issue was how to ensure that this red line doesn't appear in the page when you browse it. So we added a text-decoration:none; item to <var> via the page header SSI. This eliminates the red line when you browse the page. You just see the image of the two red arrows thus:
By the way, if you don't eliminate the red line, it looks like this:
OK, it's not that bad - but we wanted to get it right.
These two innovative pseudo-elements are another way of changing content with CSS.
Further down this page we've added a section on our experiments with this pair of pseudo-elements - eg to insert a date in several places.
So, to get our arrows image (indicating an external link) you use (say) :after with (say) <var></var>. You insert <var></var> wherever you want the arrows image.
You select them in the external style sheet by: var:after {...}
Then, when you browse the site, you see the arrows image immediately after each empty <var></var> tag pair.
Instead of using a dedicated tag (like <var> or <tt>) you can do it by a class in an empty inline element such as  or
- eg
This takes a bit more typing - but it doesn't 'use up' an HTML element.
You select them by: span.extlink:after {...}
Later we discovered "CSS attribute selectors" (see below). By using these with the :before and :after pseudo-elements, we found that you can avoid the need to add any tags at all (var, span, b or whatever).
Recently we remembered that we only added our bit of <var> code when there was a target="_blank" in the  tag. We pondered this and thought :
"Wouldn't it be nice if CSS allowed you to select only those  tags that had a target="..." or target="_blank" attribute in them (in the same way as you can select only those tags that have a particular class or ID in them)."
Then you could put code in your style sheet to style these  tags to indicate they were external links - eg using our arrows image. Then we wouldn't need our bit of <var> code.
We searched Google - and crawled under the table with embarrassment when we discovered that this facility is already in CSS (CSS2). We found the following article (by Chris Coyier) : http://css-tricks.com/attribute-selectors/
It's a nice tutorial - with a list of "CSS attribute selectors" (going from the simplest to the most complex). We've modified it below to give appropriate examples :
See Chris Coyier's article for further explanation - eg using the five characters: ~ | * ^ $
Our examples above refer to the  tag - but the same logic applies to any tag (eg

) and any attribute (eg href= name= width= alt= title= class= id=).
We've been experimenting with these "attribute selectors" and found they work well with almost all popular browsers nowadays.
(The main failures are with old versions of Internet Explorer - all versions before IE8.)
We've successfully used attribute selectors to indicate external links :
We've now applied this "attribute selector" method (with :after) to a number of pages on the site to produce the arrows image immediately after external links - for example on this 'Web design' page.
We did this by adding the following to the style sheet :
Our bits of <var> code after each  tag are still present on each page - but we've disabled them by adding var {display:none;} to the style sheet.
We've simplified it so that we can make a page switch from using the default of <var> to 'attribute selectors' - just by placing a class in the  tag of the page
At the moment, when you look at an external link on the site, you can tell which method is producing the arrows image as follows :
There are a dozen or so 'obscure' HTML tags like var which we never use - and perhaps could be dedicated to a one-off use like the one described above. Below is our list (so far unfinished) of some possible tags (use them at your peril) :
Defines a piece of computer code*
Preformatted text
*
xxxxxxxxxx
 - with block (the default) overridden by display:inline; *
Beware - We haven't finished the list above yet. Treat it with caution.`
With some of the tags above we've included demos - these are marked with an asterisk *.
There are various issues with the tags (elements) listed above :
As an experiment, we've begun using the <tt> (=Teletype) element (with styling via :after in the external style sheet) to add a blue bullet image :
* Wherever we want the bullet, we just add: <tt></tt>
* So far it seems to work OK.
* This paragraph is an example of it in use.
If and when you want to change all the bullets, you just alter the definitions of tt and tt:after in the style sheet file.
We've tried several ready-made script utilities for tables :
Most are free. Alas, the best one we found is paid-for software. It's called TableTools by Mingyi Liu. A nice, cut-down version of it is available as a free add-on for Firefox.
So far, we've used only one table script on the site - it's called 'HTML Table Filter'. It's produced by Max Guglielmi (French). It's free. We've added it to several tables. There's a certain 'wow' factor to it - for people like us who are mainly used to static HTML.
The utility allows you to type a search request into form boxes at the top of a table. The script then temporarily 'collapses' the table dynamically (=filtering) - so it only displays the rows which match your search request (the search subset). Examples :
These tables have many rows (100 to 300 each). With long tables like these, this type of utility is genuinely useful. It adds an interactive database-type facility - albeit rudimentary.
We've upgraded to version 2.4 of Table Filter. This allows searching using Regular Expressions (regex) - a nice facility.
To make the filtering more effective, we've been editing the data in each table to allow more reliable selection (filtering) - by adding indexing terms, and beginning to use a simple standardised/controlled vocabulary cum thesaurus.
For example, in a static table, you can get away with synonyms - such as "Eire" for one entry and "Irish Republic" for another. However, once you add a table filter, it pays to choose only one term for a concept and stick to it. Then the user can search for just one term (rather than having to remember to search for 'Eire OR Irish Republic').
The two scripts above also allow the user to sort a table (by any column).
For an interesting discussion about the pros and cons of zebra-striping of table rows see:
There's a skill to choosing the right size for an image on a web page (the height x width dimensions). However, often you need two sizes - (a) the default and (b) a larger size to allow you to see more detail now-and-again. You can do this in various ways, such as :
We've used all these methods on the website - except number 3 (JavaScript).
Alas, with our original :hover method, the surrounding text etc re-aligns temporarily when the image enlarges. However, we've since found a simple way of avoiding this problem - by making a container - using float, width and height, overflow:visible and position:relative.`
We're fond of putting images on the right-hand side.
Like many people, we do this using CSS's float:right.
To achieve this, we created a class called .floatr - which includes a float:right statement.
Then we added a few things to the class - eg margins and styles for text captions.
Rightly or wrongly, we just put a class="floatr" statement in a
 tag containing the image - and it works.`
There are more important things in life. However, like many people, we agonise over whether to have borders around images. In the end we hit on a compromise. We realised there are three situations :
Our solution was to create a class for each of the two extremes (ie 1. and 2. above) :
We add the class to the class statement in the
 tag.
Example :
<img src=...
Then we went through all the images adding one of these two classes if appropriate.
This then allows us to apply a border (or not) to potentially all images on the site via the external style sheet, knowing that those images with .imgborder or .imgnoborder classes won't be affected.`
If you're designing a website but only using HTML, you're missing out. CSS is extremely powerful and elegant.
Firstly, it gives you extra facilities (not available in HTML) - for example it allows you to have different designs for the four sides of an object (top, right, bottom and left).
Secondly, it allows you to apply styles to many objects in one go - on one page, on several pages or even on all pages of your website. This makes it much easier and quicker to change the design of a site.
Versions: From 2000 to 2010, CSS was on version 2 (=CSS2). However, around 2010, version 3 was introduced (=CSS3). This adds many new features - eg rounded corners (=border-radius) and the text-shadow and box-shadow properties. However, some recent/current browsers don't yet support CSS3. For example, Internet Explorer 8 doesn't recognise rounded corners.
Coinciding with the introduction of CSS3 is the launch of HTML5.
This adds a number of new tags - eg header, footer, section.
See :
The sides have to be in the following (clockwise) order :
Don't forget the rule that the three items have to be in the following order :
So the full list is :
* border
* color
* background-color
* width
* height
* text-align
Remember that the selectors must be in the following order: "LVHA" :
a:link a:visited a:hover a:active
Remember to use US spelling (things won't work if you use British spelling).
Examples (US spelling): gray, color, center, capitalize, license, dialog
Beware - with most browsers, CSS class (and ID) names are case-sensitive (unlike almost all other HTML and CSS). Example: .box versus .Box
Similarly, beware of case sensitivity with file extensions on websites. For instance some image programs will add extensions in upper case - eg ".JPG". However, if your web page  tag refers to it in lower case (as ".jpg"), you'll find that, once you've uploaded it, the image isn't recognised (at least with Linux hosting).
Also, with XHTML, pages are supposed to use only lower case for all HTML element and attribute names (because XML is case-sensitive).
Remember to use the correct type of comment - depending on whether you're in HTML or CSS :
Also, you're not supposed to nest comments (ie comments-within-comments).
Occasionally "text-transform" can be useful (eg with ditherers like us). It can be used to display text UPPERCASE, lowercase or Capitalized.
For example, if you can't decide whether to have your
 headings UPPERCASE or lowercase, type them in sentence lowercase eg "Nirvana". Then, if you decide later to make them all UPPERCASE, just add h2 {text-transform:uppercase;} This makes them all appear UPPERCASE at-a-stroke, without having to edit the text in each heading. If you ever decide to change them back to lowercase, just delete (or disable) the text-transform statement.
'display:none' is useful on occasions. For example, if you want to experiment with using
 horizontal rules on a page, do it as follows. Add all the hr tags, then you can hide them at any stage thus: hr {display:none;}
Note: Don't confuse with visibility:hidden
This also hides elements, but they take up the same space as before (a bit like redacting confidential items in a document by using Tippex whiteout).
Beware - both these methods of hiding may not stop search engines and Ctrl-F/F3 finding the text in any items.
The :before and :after pair offer an unusual, powerful facility. They're part of CSS2.
We've experimented with them briefly - to produce the copyright date (year) on a few pages. This allows us to update the year on several pages at once by making only one change - in the site's master CSS style sheet file. Demonstration :
website © CharityBags
In the demonstration above, the 4 digits of the year are inserted by your browser.
To achieve this, we added two bits of code, thus :
1. The following entry in the CSS file :
2. The following piece of HTML in each web page where we wanted the year :
As its name implies, CSS is normally about style - in other words appearance (colour, size, position, font, borders etc). However, the :before/:after pair allow you to use CSS to alter the content. They seem to offer you an equivalent of a Server Side Include (SSI) - at least for a short bit of text of one line or less. It's like a variable you use in (say) a spreadsheet.
Also see our section above on using a background-image (of arrows) in a <var> </var> pair of tags. This also allows you to change content with CSS.
Another example :
Add the following to a CSS

In the high-paced, perplexing world of fashion, longevity is rare and hard to come by. Yet Yohji Yamamoto has perpetuated his iconic partnership with Adidas for 13 years; showcasing his masterful tailoring, attention to detail, and his effortless blend of flowing sportswear & high couture technical garments. As the living legend pointed out his enduring partnership stood the test of time, often in his own perplexity and disbelief at his ongoing success, we rejoiced in the display of his work for generations to come.
The frostbitten Palais de Tokyo upon the northern bank of the River Seine amalgamated the setting for this year's Adidas Y-3 show at Paris Fashion Week, with several goth-ninjaesque enthusiasts enduring the cold to bear witness to the 2017 Fall Winter launch. Juxtaposed together harmoniously: women's, men's and sportswear were united by Yohji's seamless synergy of flawless design and sportswear.
A smooth, yet distorted electric guitar played fluidly while the syncopation of constant jazz rock drums opened up the Fall Winter 2017 Y-3 show. In unison, the all black runway lit up in the middle to all white followed by a forest green camo background to showcase the theme of the collection. The somber elegance displayed was an homage to Yohji's technical yet, effortless style. Fall Winter's theme served to explore the relationship between technology and nature, presented through the looking glass of a "digital forrest", the contrast exhibited by dappled shadow and vivid uniform light brought the idea to life. This awe inspiring narrative challenged the utilitarian idea of living in a digital world where the role of technology has usurped our lives, the challenge of living in a modern world was reclaimed by innocence and nature.
Y-3 success is largely owed to its unapologetic, unwavering consistency and its brand identity in constantly exploring the intersection of fashion and technology, with mostly a monochromatic palette. The layered, thick dark slices of Yamamoto heaven showcased fascinating details: enveloping outerwear layers with fluid lines, the criss-crossing of heavy duty zip ups and straps, perforated knitwear to serve as a layering accent, the thin sliver of green served to high light the plethora of drop crotch infused silhouettes. Ultimately, Y-3's show was successful in utilizing space to created the effect of a forest floor blanketed by darkness but pierced by the effervescent rays of sunlight hitting its perforations. Elongated nylons, digital forest prints and gross grain weaved fabric further served to exemplify Yohji's balance of harmony within nature, design and technology.

SAFE International Launches Ottawa Women's Self Defense Parties - Ottawa, ON Self Defense

SAFE International quickly realized that women had completely different concerns, fears, and needs than males. Chris Roberts, CEO of SAFE International listened to their concerns and tailored something that was not only educational, but also met their personal fears.

- Ottawa, ON - Ottawa Self Defense, SAFE International Launches Ottawa Women's Self Defense Parties
SAFE International is the leading provider of mobile self defense/personal protection training in Ontario. SAFE International has taught more than 120,000 clients in the private, corporate and high school environments since 1994. SAFE International is expanding its seminar options to include women's self defense parties in Ottawa, ON.
SAFE International quickly realized that women had completely different concerns, fears, and needs than males. Chris Roberts, CEO of SAFE International listened to their concerns and tailored something that was not only educational, but also met their personal fears. Men have no idea what women go through on an everyday basis from the stares and comments to the physical gestures and advances.
One of the reasons that SAFE International enjoys teaching women's self defense Ottawa, is how receptive women are to the skills that the SAFE International instructors provide. SAFE International teaches self defense concepts, rather than techniques. This allows women to learn in a much shorter time. SAFE International always covers Awareness and Avoidance strategies which are based on one's daily routines. We examine what an attacker looks for, what an attacker wants and doesn't want in confrontation. One of the biggest topics we explore is how most people are too polite, even when their intuition is telling them the complete opposite. We cover the most common distraction techniques an attacker will use to gain an advantage. We then move on to verbal strategies in the event that avoidance is no longer possible. Rather than just teaching to yell at a potential attacker, we cover a few verbal strategies based on the aggressor and the scenario. The third step is addressing the physical aspect of Ottawa women's self defense. We begin with the advantages of adopting a passive stance rather than an aggressive stance.
We only teach gross motor strikes due to the adrenal rush one gets when they are in a highly stressful state such as an attack scenario. We teach a philosophy of "Attack the Attacker" which reverses one from being the Prey, to that of being the Predator. Another philosophy is to attack the head if all avoidance and verbal strategies have failed. This is only 30 minutes into the physical training and you can see how the self defense concepts are very effective. The self defense drills increase with intensity as the participants gain more confidence. This is very important as you don't want to terrify your clients right from the start. It is important to build rapport with your students and the results will be seen as the drills progress. The following YouTube video shows how much can be learned in only 30 minutes of women's self defense instruction.

Forget Tupperware Parties!
Invite 6 to 8 of your friends for a few hours of fun, education and potentially life- saving instruction. Plan a meal, bbq, snacks, maybe some dessert! Be prepared for a unique Ottawa Women's Self Defense experience! What has made SAFE International so popular is their unique method of teaching with humour and sharing of anecdotes. Get to experience their simulated attacks in scenario specific situations such as at the front door, the kitchen, the car, etc.
SAFE International has taught more than 120,000 clients including mothers, fathers, daughters, police officers, seniors, and people with disabilities.

Lung (Non-Small Cell)
A Randomized, Phase III Trial of ABI-007 and Carboplatin Compared with Taxol and Carboplatin as First-line Therapy in Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)Unique Dataset IDLungNo_Celgene_2007_108ClinicalTrial.gov IDNCT00540514
Clinical Trial Title
A Randomized, Phase III Trial of ABI-007 and Carboplatin Compared with Taxol and Carboplatin as First-line Therapy in Patients with Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)
Trial Summary and Conditions
This is a controlled, randomized, multicenter, Phase III study to evaluate the safety/tolerability and anti-tumor effect of intravenously administered ABI-007/carboplatin combination therapy compared to that of Taxol/carboplatin combination therapy as first-line therapy in patients with NSCLC.
Data Summary
All data collected are from the comparator arm. This de-identified data set represents 524 patients enrolled from an FDA-approved comparator treatment arm: solvent-bound paclitaxel + carboplatin. A total of 1052 patients were accrued to the study globally.
Study Objectives
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of 100 mg/m2 30-minute infusion of nab-paclitaxel on days 1, 8, and 15 followed by carboplatinAUC6mg/mL/min(per Calvert formula)19 on day 1 every 3 weeks (nab-PC) compared with 200 mg/m2 3-hour infusion of sb-paclitaxel plus carboplatin at AUC 6 (sb-PC), both given every 3 weeks, as first-line therapy in patients with advanced NSCLC
Outcome Measures
Primary: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved an Objective Confirmed Complete Response or Partial Response by Blinded Radiology Assessment. Antitumor response was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved an objective response, confirmed by repeat assessments performed no less than 4 weeks after the criteria for response were first met. Response was based on the blinded radiological review using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) response guidelines, Version 1.0. \nA complete response was defined as a disappearance of all target and non-target lesions and no new lesions. Partial response was defined as > 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameters (SLD) of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline SLD, and the persistence of one or more non-target lesions not qualifying for CR or Progressive Disease (the "unequivocal progression" of existing non-target lesion(s) or appearance of one or more new lesions).

Adam Michnik Quotes
Adam Michnik (Polish pronunciation: [?adam ?mix?ik]; born 17 October 1946) is a Polish historian, essayist, former dissident, public intellectual, and editor-in-chief of the Polish newspaper, Gazeta Wyborcza

The Polish freedom movement of 1968 lost its confrontation with police violence; the Prague Spring was crushed by the armies of five Warsaw Pact members. But in both countries, 1968 gave birth to a new political consciousness.
I think you can be an enemy of Saddam Hussein even if Donald Rumsfeld is also an enemy of Saddam Hussein.
The main difference between the Prague Spring and the Velvet Revolution was that the former was mostly the work of Communist party members and others who wanted to bring about 'socialism with a human face.'
Israel is the only country in the Middle East where Arabs can be elected to the parliament in a democratic election.
Every revolution, bloody or not, has two phases. The first phase is defined by the struggle for freedom, the second by the struggle for power and revenge on the votaries of the ancien regime.
I think it's always dangerous to make political arguments in a religiously ideological way. And it's very dangerous to treat as traitors to the American nation those who think differently.
Pacifism as a mass movement aims to avoid suffering; pacifists often say that no cause is worth suffering or dying for. The ethos of Solidarity is based on an opposite premise - that there are causes worth suffering and dying for.
After the French Revolution, it was not the treason of the king that was in question; it was the existence of the king. You have to be very careful when you judge and execute somebody for being a symbol.
An ethical action, like an unethical action, is usually analyzed by politicians purely in pragmatic terms.
In Czechoslovakia in 1968, communist reformers appealed to democratic ideals that were deeply rooted in the country's pre-second world war past.
I do know that you have to choose between the logic of reconciliation and the logic of justice. Pure justice leads to new civil war. I prefer the negotiable revolution.
I do not accept being a prisoner of fear. Of Communism, of fascism. That, one can bear. But of one's fear. No. Never.
As a rule, dictatorships guarantee safe streets and terror of the doorbell. In democracy the streets may be unsafe after dark, but the most likely visitor in the early hours will be the milkman.

Moist and flavorful, our chicken thighs are a favorite of dark-meat lovers. Terrific as the main ingredient in coq au vin, or try them drizzled with olive oil and fresh tarragon, then baked in the oven. Thighs work well as a dark-meat substitute for breasts in most chicken recipes.

The chickens are raised on spacious farms and have free access to the outdoors. The birds are never given antibiotics and are fed an all-vegetable diet of locally sourced Non-GMO Project Verified corn and soybeans. (from Katie's Best)
