![]() An agreement helps you and your teen understand the rules of the road and sends a clear message that driving is an earned privilege that your family takes seriously. Consider using a parent-teen driving agreement to help enforce licensing rules that the state and your family set. Note to parents: Even if your state doesn’t require the provisions outlined above, parents can set rules for your teen that are stricter than the law to ensure they have adequate training when they set out on the road. Mandatory practice: Requiring at least a 12-month holding period for a learner’s permit and minimum 50 hours of practice driving, with 10 hours at night.for at least the first six months of licensure and The goal of First Impact is to reduce new driver crashes resulting in injuries and fatalities, by increasing parental awareness and enforcement of Missouri's Graduated Driver License law. Night driving limits: No driving between 9 p.m. First Impact is a 90-minute evidence-based traffic safety program that educates parents about Missouri's Graduated Driver License law. ![]() Passenger limits: No more than one non-family passenger under age 20 for at least the first six months of licensure.Some states have stronger GDL laws that others. State laws often set the minimum requirements rather than the maximum. There are three phases in a GDL system: (1) a supervised learner’s permit (2) an intermediate/provisional license and (3) and a full unrestricted license. All 50 states and the District of Columbia have some form of a GDL law for those younger than 18. The effectiveness of graduated driver licensing (GDL) in reducing crashes and fatalities among drivers aged 17 and younger has been well-documented in the research community. This system allows teens to gradually gain exposure to complex driving situations, easing them into driving over an extended period of time. Graduated licensing requirements, which place restrictions on novice drivers, help teens learn the necessary skills to be safe behind the wheel.

In your work, you may be asked to use other layout techniques, such as CSS Grid, floats, or absolute positioning. This week you learned how to layout content in CSS with Flexbox. Complete the instructions under "For Week 2". The CSS Flexible Box Layout module (aka Flexbox) provides a simple solution to many of the design and layout problems web designers and developers have faced since the advent of CSS. 2-4 hours) Return to the HTML/CSS Project you built for homework last week. You will need to clone this repository and follow each directory that matches the videos. 4 hours) Follow along to as many videos as you can from What the Flexbox?!. 1-2 hours) Complete the "Common Responsive Patterns" lesson of the Responsive Web Design Fundamentals course. Use the following resources to learn more about the topics we covered this week. The modern web has several choices for accomplishing layouts, each with their positive and negative. This week you will learn how to merge your changes in one branch back to your master branch.Ĭomplete exercise 18 from the exercise project. Page layouts are the heart of any website or application. Last week you used Git to create a branch so that you could work on two different copies of your project at the same time. Learn more about flexbox by reading this helpful, visual and complete reference to the many properties you can use with flexbox.Ĭomplete exercises 11-17 from the exercise project. Important: While justify-content works in the same direction as flex-direction, align-items works the opposite way! Have a close look at the above images - the "green" arrow is opposite to the yellow flex-direction one. Let's review what you learned and break down a media query: screen and ( min-width : 900px ) Media QueriesĪs you learned in your homework assignment, media queries help us change the display of our content depending on the size of the viewport. Then I found the following 3 powerful properties/techniques in grid that completely changed my tune. In fact, I avoided it for several years and was a diehard flexbox fan. See how much variety there is in viewport sizes. Intrinsically Responsive Grid Columns Demo CSS grid layout can feel daunting. To ensure we're presenting a website that's easy to use on any device, we use Responsive Web Design techniques to modify how content is displayed depending on the viewport.Įxercise: As a group, let's brainstorm as many devices as we can think of which might access the websites we build. When we build for the web, we're making websites that can be viewed in a phone, a laptop, a tablet and many other devices. Week 14 - Middleware, Templating and APIsĪutomatic deployment of sites with Netlify and GitHub If these were the same for both columns, we could dispense with those rules.Week 2 - Responsive Web, Layout and Flexbox ![]() In fact, the column1 and column2 rules are only required to set the width and background colors. Looking at the SCSS below, you can see that we don’t need a lot of styling to get the job done. The beauty of using flexbox – and indeed, CSS in general – is that the same HTML structure may be presented using a variety of layouts: ![]() The HTML markup shown below will be the basis for all layouts, from most basic to complex. The most basic application of the flexbox is to layout page content in either two columns or rows, so we’ll begin by creating two columns: one that takes 40% of the available width and another that fills the remaining 60%. Since it’s predominantly used to define grid layouts, I thought that I’d summarize the finer points of doing so in this tutorial. As a senior developer, I’ve had to guide a few novice coders through the basics of flexbox’s many properties and attributes. Developers, on the other hand, were a little slower to jump on the flexbox bandwagon, the reason being that it was intimidating to the uninitialed. From there, it was quickly adopted by the major browsers. Then in the 2010’s, everything changed when the CSS flexbox was introduced as a W3C Candidate Recommendation. Back in the late twentieth century, the de facto tool for arranging web content in rows and columns was not CSS at all, but the table! This worked very well for years, until responsiveness became a primary concern. ![]() ![]() Shelf tag and label holders are plastic channel strips that fit onto shelving or other store fixtures and furniture. They can display advertising or price tags from 1-1/4" high to 4" high. Info strips are for sale in a variety of sizes. These are commonly used at grocery stores, supermarkets and other types of retailers. Info strips are similar and create a protective clear cover that price tags or UPC codes can be scanned through. They are also sometimes referred to as snap-on or snap-in data strips. Their are models that work on gondola shelf edges. These make installation in stores a breeze.

![]() ![]() Over the years his films have slowly morphed into a pariah on the landscape of big budget studio comedies, becoming thinly veiled excuses for lavish vacations. How did it come to this? At the height of his power in Hollywood in 1999, Adam Sandler founded his own production company as a way to continue making the movies he enjoys. Watch Matt on "You & Me This Morning," Friday at 6:55 a.m.Lasciate ogne speranza, voi chi’intrate. He's not alone in the blame for poison like "Grown Ups 2," but it's no secret that everyone's hanging onto his coattails and kicking up their feet as these popular comedies continue to treat terrible people as the coolest guys in the world. ![]() Example: "I liked 'Iron Man 12,' but the guy behind me was being a real sandler." There's no excuse for sandlers, and there's no excuse for Sandler. During a movie, this may include answering a phone, texting, chatting with the person next to him or, in extreme cases, pouring hot butter down your shirt. A person so indifferent toward your moviegoing experience that he seems to go out of his selfish way to decrease your enjoyment. Huh-huh-huh.") But Sandler deserves a new definition for his name after all these years of toxic carelessness toward the people in the seats: sandler, noun. (At one point, Lenny said "dummy" and someone in the audience giggled and said, "Dummy. Comedy is personal everyone has his or her own definition of funny. The same can't be said for Steve Buscemi dressing as Flavor Flav. Chris Rock looks funny in a Prince costume. With an ass-kicking, obviously, a fitting coda to a film in which Lenny laments being bullied as a kid and then he and his pals act like adult bullies over and over and over again. OK, now that you got me going: Male and female characters laugh at a woman with masculine features, a janitor (Jon Lovitz) sexually harasses a workout class and the guys foster a rivalry with the world's dumbest frat guys (led by Hollywood's least talented comedian, Taylor Lautner) so there's some kind of storyline to resolve. And Lenny (Sandler), who says no one can understand his wife's (Salma Hayek) accent while saluting her boobs with a high-five to the mailman, breaks his son's leg and threatens to do it again in a film that feels like a crossover episode of four unwatchable sitcoms. Marcus (Spade) defends himself from the teenage son he never knew existed instead of making any effort to understand him. Eric (James, mugging for his life) insists the busy wife (Maria Bello) raising their kids shape up and do better for her oblivious momma's boy husband. Kurt (Rock) delights when his wife (Maya Rudolph) forgets their anniversary because it gives him a "get out of jail free" card. For the record, my limit for those jokes is zero. ![]() Perhaps even he has a limit regarding films that feature two incidents of a deer peeing in someone's face, two examples of someone eating something they pulled from their own orifice and two MC Hammer jokes within the span of a few minutes. I don't know why characters played by Sandler (who "co-wrote" the "script"), Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade no longer see or mention their lifelong friend played by Rob Schneider in the blatantly unnecessary "Grown Ups 2," but it might be the best career decision Schneider's ever made. The entitled-celebs-hanging-out-and-vaguely-calling-it-a-story in 2010's "Grown Ups" was a movie like toddlers in a sandbox is a political summit. Stupid is fine to mistake crass and hateful for laid-back entertainment is its own, vile brand of dumb. And I'm not having another online debate with a reader who insists lazy, misogynistic, pointless Adam Sandler movies epitomize innocent, stupid fun. I won't describe all the ways the characters mock unattractive women and objectify beauties while suggesting it's normal to fear your wife. I won't list a lot of the jokes in "Grown Ups 2" because pathetic cracks about Chia pets and "Droolio Iglesias" speak for themselves. Zero stars (out of four) You know what?

Read our editorial mission (Opens in a new window) & see how we test (Opens in a new window). Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. It seems Intel is taking a different tack with its 6th-Generation parts, which up until now have been commonly known by their codename, "Skylake." On August 5, 2015, in connection with the Gamescom conference in Cologne, Germany, Intel is treating PC enthusiasts and DIY PC builders to a couple of high-end socketed desktop chips early, before the mainstream 6th-Generation desktop, laptop, and mobile chips are expected to arrive, later in 2015. Desktop Broadwell, packing robust Iris Pro on-chip graphics in the i7 we tested, arrived nearly a year after the first 5th-Generation chips (low-power Core M ones, meant for thin laptops and 2-in-1s) were announced in September of 2014. With Broadwell, it was also quite an unusual time gap between the desktop and mobile parts. We only saw the first previews of the i7-5775C at the Computex 2015 trade show in June. The first socketed Broadwell chip, the Intel Core i7-5775C, landed in our test bed (and on store shelves) not much more than a month before we wrote this review in the first week of August 2015. Only slight performance gains over previous-generation chips in single-threaded tasks.įrom the point of view of desktop-PC enthusiasts, upgraders, and PC gamers, the desktop versions of Intel's 5th-Generation ("Broadwell") Core processors arrived way later than expected-late enough, indeed, to make them only marginally relevant for those folks.How to Set Up Two-Factor Authentication.How to Record the Screen on Your Windows PC or Mac.How to Convert YouTube Videos to MP3 Files.How to Save Money on Your Cell Phone Bill.How to Free Up Space on Your iPhone or iPad.How to Block Robotexts and Spam Messages. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Pro Tools 10 works differently and doesn’t make the current plug-in, the active window and so Controllermate works on the active window, which is likely to be the Edit or Mix window.īecause he uses Controllermate to convert endless rotary controllers and buttons MIDI data into mouse scroll wheel or mouse clicks and it works on the relative position within a plug-in window then it doesn’t matter where the plug-in is and what your system is, as far as Pro Tools is concerned it is responding to mouse data, nothing else. Even though Mac is not a hardcore gaming OS, there are some exciting games to play. It also transpired that this will only work fully in Pro Tools 11 because when you select a plug-in it becomes the active window as Controllermate works on the active window. He has also set up an impressive resource with examples and guidance on what features you need from your MIDI Controller and he also includes some example setup files that you can import into Controllermate to help you get started.Īs Controllermate is a Mac only application this work round is only going to work for Mac users.

Welcome to the Mac Controllers Store, where youll find great prices on a wide range of different mac controllers. And the thing is it looks like you set up what your buttons do in the game with the addon, but for these stupid programs you MUST set them up before it even tries to work with the game, so I'm at a complete impass cause I have no idea how these things work or how I'm supposed to simultaneously set up bindings in and out of the game when I can't do anything in the game until it's already set up outside of it.Īny help or suggestions? Maybe a map of how anyone else has ControllerMate mapped out, tips on how to get WoWmapper to work (WHILE STAYING ON THE MAC, I'm not getting or building a PC just for this.Just before Christmas we shared a very interesting video from Brian Daly, the man behind the Hotkey Matrix showing he was able to control plug-in parameters using a Behringer BCR2000 using MIDI. I've downloaded them both, separately, but I'm COMPLETELY lost! For WoWmapper apparently WoW itself just uploads the keybindings and whatnot so it lines up right away, but not for the only Mac options! You have to start from scratch, essentially manually programming your controller into your computer, adn as I said I'm computer illiterate so I have no god freakin' clue wtf to do!Īnd ofc there are ZERO youtube vids or even guides on Google or anything that helps out with it, the ONLY ones of the very few either completely skip over the incredibly freakin' important part of WTF TO DO WITH THESE THINGS, or they only show how to program the controller to a first person shooter, which is obviously incredibly different then WoW or any MMO. The only alternatives are these programs called Joystick Mapper and ControllerMate. Then a couple of days ago I updated to the new 10.15.7 OS. Problem is, I'm computer illiterate! To get ConsolePort to work you apparently need to download something called WoWmapper, but the piece of sh*t thing doesn't work on Macs for w/e stupid reason. I managed to get Controllermate running ok on my new iMac / Catalina 10.15.6 with XKeys, although the helper app crashes intermittently but it’s an easy click in the dock to get it back up. Its also free to download and use, so its worth checking out even if youre not sure you have the experience necessary to get the most out of the software. Ok so I'm just coming back into WoW and as I was grabbing up the addons from Curse again I stumbled upon ConsolePort and thought that would be awesome since I prefer controllers over keyboards (hate me if you want, I'm already playing on a Mac so I obviously don't care lol).

Rainbow Dash was wearing a dark red sleeve top and was wearing a dark blue pants. Just then there was a knock at the door as Applejack stood up from the couch and was walking over to the door as Applejack opened the door she saw Rainbow Dash standing in front of her.
