![]() And once you’re done, you can copy the code over. As you do – the code snippets on the right-hand sidebar will change in real-time. You can also apply specific gaps between each row/column, and further improve the style by adding custom margins. Once you select a template, you get access to a visual editor in which you can change things like row and column count. It takes a while to learn, but definitely worthwhile. On the landing page, you’ll be able to select pre-made templates for each system, and then use the provided tools to further customize your selected layout. This layout generator by Brad Woods is easily one of the most popular choices for CSS developers as it offers options for both Grid and Flexbox. In some cases, the project doesn’t have its source code published, so I’ve added a link to the authors’ page instead. I’ve added a link to each resource’s website, and also the GitHub page. They won’t necessarily be generators, but pre-determined layouts that you can copy & paste into an existing or a new project that you’re working on. And, at the very end, I’m also going to include a few “standalone” resources. In fact, quite a few of the resources in this list provide the option to generate layouts for one or the other. Rather than making two separate articles for the same topic, I’m going to combine both Grid & Flexbox generators into a single post. Or, you can just open Codepen and start coding. Follow along with me as we complete the following tasks: Create a folder named 'Project-1' & Open VS Code. Not only can you simplify creating a complex layout structure, but you’re also going to save quite a bit of development time. For this project, you need to know little bit of HTML, CSS, and how to work with VS code. That said, having access to intuitive layout generators is a godsend. Both Grid and Flexbox are relatively easy to grasp once you practice using them on actual real-world projects. Learning how to structure a page layout with CSS isn’t that bad. This concept further extends into libraries and UI kits also, particularly for popular frameworks like Tailwind CSS. Full definitions and descriptions of these properties are available in MDN’s flexbox documentation.If you’re ever curious as to why certain CSS frameworks are so popular – it is largely due to the fact that frameworks simplify the process of creating a layout structure. Compatible browsers: Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Safari. Using Flexbox and viewport units, we creat a fluid two column layout for a fictional shoe brand, then boost it with CSS animations and transitions to make the interactions more interesting and fun. This time, we need to set the display property to flex on the rows, and also specify the flex-flow property. CSS Responsive Full Screen Duo Layout With Animated Overlay. See the Pen Easy Responsive CSS Grid Layout, Version 4: Flexbox by SitePoint ( on CodePen. ![]() Let’s first look at the HTML: Īnd our CSS: /* grid */ The negative margin varies depending on the position of the grid block, and the margin in between grid blocks remains fixed. This method makes use of negative margins to create CSS grid blocks with a fixed margin in between each block. Note: I’ve included embedded demos for each but in order to see the full responsive nature of each technique, it’s best to view the CodePen demos at full screen by clicking on the “edit on CodePen” link at the top of each demo. A CodePen demo will be provided with each example, so you can fork and/or play with the CSS in the demos. I’m going to simplify these methods by using minimal amounts of easy, understandable CSS.

![]() Some well known derivatives include Android TV for televisions and Wear OS for wearables, both developed by Google. The source code has been used to develop variants of Android on a range of other electronics, such as game consoles, digital cameras, portable media players, and PCs, each with a specialized user interface. Competing ecosystems and forks of AOSP include Fire OS (developed by Amazon), ColorOS by OPPO, OriginOS by Vivo, MagicUI by Honor, or custom ROMs such as LineageOS. Over 70 percent of smartphones based on Android Open Source Project run Google's ecosystem (which is known simply as Android), some with vendor-customized user interfaces and software suites, such as TouchWiz and later One UI by Samsung and HTC Sense. While AOSP is free, the "Android" name and logo are trademarks of Google, which imposes standards to restrict the use of Android branding by "uncertified" devices outside their ecosystem. Firebase Cloud Messaging is used for push notifications. However most devices run on the proprietary Android version developed by Google, which ship with additional proprietary closed-source software pre-installed, most notably Google Mobile Services (GMS) which includes core apps such as Google Chrome, the digital distribution platform Google Play, and the associated Google Play Services development platform. It was unveiled in November 2007, with the first commercial Android device, the HTC Dream, being launched in September 2008.Īt its core, the operating system is known as Android Open Source Project (AOSP) and is free and open-source software (FOSS) primarily licensed under the Apache License.

Many differential equations cannot be solved exactly. with f ( x ) 0) plus the particular solution of the non-homogeneous ODE or PDE. ![]() Their use is also known as 'numerical integration', although this term can also refer to the computation of integrals. The general solution of non-homogeneous ordinary differential equation (ODE) or partial differential equation (PDE) equals to the sum of the fundamental solution of the corresponding homogenous equation (i.e. It is really a family of functions that solves the differential equation. It describes the pendulum and waves motion.\frac = C_2.īut those points are not a real problem: in those points a tangent line to our integral curves is vertical. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations are methods used to find numerical approximations to the solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). A general solution to a differential equation is one that has a constant in it. It's used in the second law of motion and by Newton, the law of cooling. Some of the practical applications are as follows: Differentials and derivatives are used in the mathematical representation of change. ![]() The existence theorem is used to check whether there exists a. Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) appear in a wide range of contexts in mathematics, as well as in social and natural sciences. Similarly, an ODE may also have no solution, a unique solution or infinitely many solutions. Note: Eliminating one arbitrary constant results in a 1 s t 1^ 2 n d order differential equation, and so on. In this post, we will talk about separable. Im sure there is a better way to achieve this anyway, but Im taking the numerical derivative of the ODE45 soution twice and plotting it. Advanced Math Solutions Ordinary Differential Equations Calculator, Separable ODE Last post, we talked about linear first order differential equations. Also, learn the first-order differential equation here. The term b(x), which does not depend on the unknown function and its derivatives, is sometimes called the constant term of the equation (by analogy with algebraic equations), even when this term is a non-constant function. ![]() If r (x)0, it is said to be a non- homogeneous equation. In the context of linear ODE, the terminology particular solution can also refer to any solution of the ODE (not necessarily satisfying the initial. The highest order of derivation that appears in a (linear) differential equation is the order of the equation. The equation is said to be homogeneous if r (x) 0.

The particular solution of ODE is the solution that is free of arbitrary constants and is derived by substituting values for the arbitrary constants in the general solution. Im trying to solve a second order differential equation in matlab using the ODE45 solver. The general solution is the one that involves arbitrary constants. There is a three-step solution method when the inhomogeneous term g ( t) 0. q ( t) x g ( t), with initial conditions x ( t 0) x 0 and x.

![]() This time it includes an experience system, and special abilities and power-ups can be selected in the loadout. Typical for the Black Ops series is the Zombies game mode with separate storylines. There are no new player-versus-player multiplayer game modes. Many game modes return, such as Domination, Gun Game, Hardpoint, Kill Confirmed, Search & Destroy and Uplink. Another type of tokens is used to trade at a Black Market to receive packages with a selection of common or rare items. They are earned by completing challenges and leveling up. They are needed to unlock new weapons, attachments, equipment and killstreak awards. Guns can be customized through the Gunsmith feature, for both form and function. The Pick Ten system for custom loadouts from the previous game is still present. In certain matches players can vote to protect (keep) or ban certain Specialists, weapons and abilities. Ruin for instance has access to Gravity Spikes as a special weapon and Overdrive with enhanced speed as an ability. The Specialist classes available at the launch include Battery, Nomad, Outrider, Prophet, Reaper, Ruin, Seraph, Spectre. Four are available right away and the other ones are unlocked gradually. They each have a callsign, a distinct look, a unique weapon and a unique ability. This time multiplayer games are not played with a nameless soldier, but by choosing a specific Specialist, represented by a specific class. Movement is very different and faster compared to earlier titles through wallruns and boosted jumps using thruster packs. The different types of killstreaks typical for the series return. ![]() ![]() The same abilities return for multiplayer, but there they are mostly enabled by default and the loadout centers more on the selection of weapons, items and the enhancements for weapons. The campaign can be played cooperatively with up to four players. They enable the player character to distract with decoy drones, boost the character in strength or speed, attack or take over robots or keep opponents occupied with swarms of bees. There are three types of Cores and only one can be equipped per loadout. Cores provide new abilities and attacks, while Rigs influence movement and agility, opening up powerslides, wallruns and boosted jumps. The most important ones are the new abilities called Cyber Cores and Cyber Rigs. By progressing through the game new weapons and gadgets are unlocked. As the game is set in the future, various futuristic technologies are available. Missions include linear first-person shooter levels with free movement as well as sections played shooting from a stationary position such as a vehicle. The story deals with an artificial intelligence called Corvus, the role of privacy, the effects of cybernetic enhancements, secret CIA experiments, and also the characters Commander John Taylor and Dr. Through a series of events the player ends up in Egypt and Switzerland. Five years later the player character and Hendricks are under the command of CIA Agent Rachel Kane investigating a CIA black site in Singapore. Your partner, Jacob Hendricks, undergoes the enhancements as well. The player controls a male or female character and needs the DNI after a failed infiltration and hostage rescue mission from the NCR in Egypt. It allows them to communicate directly with computers and machines, and it can also be used to read the thoughts and memories of people. Set in the far future, soldiers are now equipped with DNI, the Direct Neural Interface. For instance, the focus in the story is back on group troops following the aftermath of the drone strikes by Menendez in the second game. The game is set in the same universe as Black Ops II and references some past events indirectly. ![]() The single-player campaign is substantially longer compared to the previous games. A first for the series, the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions do not have the main single-player campaign, only the multiplayer portion and additional game modes such as Zombies. Rather, it continues the time progression of battles in the past in the first Black Ops game, modern and near future combat in the second game, and now a game in a far dystopian future set in 2065, 40 years after the previous title. It is the follow-up to Call of Duty: Black Ops II, but not a direct sequel. Black Ops III is the fourth game in the Black Ops subseries (including World at War) of the Call of Duty first-person shooter franchise and the twelfth main title overall. ![]() ![]() ![]() Migrainous strokes make up less than 1 percent of all strokes. By definition, this type of stroke only occurs in tandem with migraine involving aura or preceding symptoms. When a stroke and a migraine attack do occur at the same time, it’s referred to as a migrainous stroke, or migrainous infarction. There’s also little evidence indicating that strokes are more common during migraine attacks than at other times. While migraine and stroke do happen at the same time for some people, no research confirms that one causes the other. Some people worry that their migraine attack will turn into a stroke. It usually lasts less than 24 hours and doesn’t cause lasting damage to the brain. Symptoms such as visual disturbances, numbness, and speech difficulties can be part of either migraine brainstem aura or a stroke.Ī migraine with brainstem aura attack is most apt to mimic a type of stroke called a transient ischemic attack (TIA). Medical professionals advise getting emergency care immediately if you have any doubt about whether you’re experiencing migraine or stroke. Research indicates that 2 percent of people initially evaluated as having a stroke during emergency treatment are eventually diagnosed with migraine.Ĭonversely, because a stroke usually includes intense head pain, people sometimes think they’re having a migraine attack when they’re really having a stroke. As a result, people sometimes worry they are having a stroke when they have this type of migraine attack. The symptoms of a stroke and migraine with brainstem aura can be similar. Is migraine with brainstem aura related to strokes? It’s always good to check with a medical professional to make sure these symptoms aren’t caused by a more serious underlying condition. Silent migraine attacks can be unsettling, especially if the aura symptoms are severe. The aura symptoms aren’t usually a cause for concern, but they can disrupt daily life. When you have aura symptoms without head pain, it’s called a silent migraine. Migraine with brainstem aura without head pain If you have one or more of these symptoms, speak with your doctor as soon as possible for a diagnosis and to rule out any more serious causes.

Step 8 Serve warm with buns and more barbecue sauce.Whip up a quick and simple BBQ pork chop recipe that’s perfect for busy weeknights.Toss shredded meat with about half the barbecue sauce. Reduce heat, and simmer until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Over medium-high heat, bring mixture to a boil. Step 6 Make barbecue sauce: To the pan drippings in the Dutch oven, whisk in ketchup, apple cider vinegar, mustard, brown sugar and Worcestershire.Step 5 Remove pork from Dutch oven and let rest while you prepare barbecue sauce.Remove lid and cook until pork is very tender and pulls apart easily with a fork, 1 to 2 hours more. Transfer to oven and cook until pork is beginning to turn tender, about 3 hours. Step 4 Pour beer around pork and cover with lid.(Spices can burn quickly so don’t let it go for too long!) Working in batches, add pork and sear on all sides. Step 3 In a large Dutch oven over medium high heat, heat oil.Step 2 In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, salt, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin, then season with black pepper.Trim excess fat from pork and cut into large pieces to fit in a large Dutch oven. Step 1 Make pork: Preheat oven to 300°.If you like a tangier sauce, you can add up to double the amount of vinegar. Made this? Let us know how it went in the comments below!Įditor's Note: After reviewing comments about the BBQ sauce, we have since retested this recipe and have reduced the amount of apple cider vinegar. Put any leftover pulled pork in an airtight container, and store in the fridge for around 3 days. Really-the limit on this BBQ pork doesn't exist. Tacos with pineapple slaw, pulled-pork crescent rings, and BBQ shepherd's pie are just a few of our amazing pulled-pork recipe ideas. The obvious answer would be the most delicious pulled pork sandwiches, topped with dill pickles and pickled red onion, served with coleslaw and potato salad. But, if you don't want to sear your meat and don't care about the burnt ends (can't relate), it's not entirely necessary. Searing your meat will give you those irresistible burnt ends, and if you're using a Dutch oven, it's a quick and easy step. These blackened edges are a result of the fat and sauce ingredients caramelizing, and you'll only get that in our oven-cooked recipe. But it takes longer-at least 5 hours-and, you'll miss out on one of our favorite things: the burnt ends. We love our slow-cooker pulled pork recipe-the meat gets deliciously tender, and you can just dump everything-sauce ingredients and all-in at once.

Shortly after his ouster, Carlson went on Twitter May 9 to announce that he would be doing some version of his show on that platform. Musk's free speech rhetoric also has attracted conservatives who have been knocked off other platforms - or fired, in the case of Carlson. It sent automated replies instead, as it does to most media inquiries. ![]() Twitter didn’t provide comment after repeated requests. “It’s another thing to say we are going to allow extremists - conspiracy theorists - to contribute to normalizing this kind of rhetoric and antisemitism and racism.” ![]() “It is one thing to say we want free speech on the platform,” she said. The group's vice president Yael Eisenstat, who leads its Center for Technology and Society, said Musk’s content moderation choices have “served to silence marginalized voices” by giving harassers and internet trolls free reign. Musk’s decision to reinstate influential Twitter accounts with a history of spreading extremist views also has created spaces in their tweet reply threads where users are sharing antisemitic tropes, conspiracy theories and other types of hate, the ADL reported Wednesday. Several believers of the baseless QAnon theory, centered on the idea that former President Donald Trump is waging a secret war against “deep state” enemies and pedophiles, have committed acts of violence, including the attack on the U.S. That has coincided with a deluge of conspiracy theory rhetoric, according to the Anti-Defamation League, which reported that QAnon hashtags surged 91% on Twitter between May 2022 and May 2023, with about three-fourths of those messages posted after Musk's takeover. He also has personally indulged in far-right conspiracy theories on the site, reinstated accounts with a history of extremist rhetoric and gutted the team that had been responsible for moderating the content flowing across the platform. Since Musk bought Twitter, he has overhauled the site’s verification system, removing safeguards against impersonation for some government accounts and political candidates. Prominent figures in conservative media, like former Fox News host Tucker Carlson and the podcasts hosts of The Daily Wire, say they plan to start streaming content on the site.ĭemocrats and anti-hate watchdogs, meanwhile, say Musk's partisan comments and policy changes have effectively given a megaphone to far-right extremists. Many Republicans have hailed Musk's takeover of Twitter as creating one of the last mainstream online spaces where they can share their views without fear of removal. That is raising alarms that Twitter - heavily used by candidates and government agencies, including those providing voting information - will become an open forum for conspiracy theories, fake content and election misinformation as a bitterly divided country heads into the 2024 presidential election. ![]() While Musk has promoted his platform as a haven for free expression, the site has been flooded with extremist views and hate speech since he bought it and fired or laid off roughly 80% of its staff. Musk, co-hosting the event, responded to the praise by saying, “Twitter was indeed expensive, but free speech is priceless.” “The truth was censored repeatedly, and now that Twitter is in the hands of a free speech advocate, that would not be able to happen again on this Twitter platform,” DeSantis said during the Twitter Spaces event. Though it was marred by technical glitches and skewered by the candidate's critics, the forum nevertheless underscored Twitter's unmistakable shift to the right under Musk, who bought it for $44 billion and took over in October. The new Elon Musk-owned version of Twitter helped DeSantis launch his bid for the Republican presidential nomination Wednesday. ![]() |
