Summary

The layout apocalypse is over. With CSS Grid, Flexbox, and Columns you can design and build complex layouts that respond to screens of all sizes. 
You'll learn about all the various ways you can lay out content using CSS and which ones work best for which types of content and contexts. You'll use CSS Columns to make your site a joy to read and a zombie's worst nightmare. You'll use flexbox to gather the apocalyptic chaos into manageable, flexible order. And you'll stuff wonder and zombie weapons into orderly rows and columns with CSS Grid. And then you'll revolutionize your human resistance cells weapons strategy as you combine layout methods to create the best possible web site. 
  
We'll discuss not only these layout techniques, but how they can be enhanced with writing direction agnostic properties, making the internationalization of your layout that much easier. 
  
If you've ever found Grid confusing or haven't experienced the ease and wonder that is modern CSS layout. Now is the time to slay your horde of fear and antipathy and bring yourself and your post-apocalyptic comrades into a new and glorious era. 
  
How You'll Learn to Smack Zombies Around 
  
You won't just passively take in the view, like a zombie shuffling across the mainland. You'll have plenty of combat practice with analogies, examples, and code tutorials you can build, break and fix again. Working with your hands and your head you'll craft code that pleases the eye and knocks a zombie into last Tuesday.  
All the code and directions are provided as both codepen tutorials and downloadable html files, so you can fight the apocalypse how and where you like. You can work with them on the codepen site or on your own device. 
  
And later you'll bring those skills together in a final project that cements those skills into zombie smashing muscle memory. 
  
Why Zombies? 
  
Are zombies just a gimmick? Why would this be any better than a straight laced book that sticks to the facts?  
Straight laced books are often straight boring. And if you have insomnia problems go buy that book. The author, John, has read the boring books and knows that staying awake and engaged are also important for learning. But this book uses zombie references and analogies not just to make you smile, but to help the material stick. If a tough technical concept is related in silly terms you understand, like a zombie trying to buy gum at a super market, it's much more likely to stay in that brain those zombies are intent on eating.

    Forex Trading The ultimate guide...

    The foreign exchange market, or Forex market, is a fast-paced and exciting market. Until recently, this kind of trading was only done by central banks, corporations, financial institutions, and wealthy individuals. But thanks to the emergence of the internet, many more people can join the market and use it to do investing as well.  
    Daily currency fluctuations are going to be small. Most pairs of currencies are only going to move about a cent each day, which will represent a change that is less than 1 percent in the value of the currency. This means that in most cases, the Forex market is going to be one of the least volatile financial markets around. Therefore, many currency speculators are going to rely on enormous amounts of leverage to increase how valuable a potential movement can be. In fact, with the Forex market, the leverage can be as high as 250:1.  
    This leverage is really high and can be really risky. But because of the deep amount of liquidity and the fact that the Forex market is available to be traded around the clock, many brokers can make high leverage the standard of the industry which can make the movements more meaningful for most currency traders.  
    Extreme liquidity and the high leverage of this market has really helped to push rapid growth in the market, making it a great place for investing with many traders. Positions on this market can be opened, and then closed again, within minutes, or the trader can choose to hold onto the position for months. Currency prices are going to be based on the idea of supply and demand or that currency pair at the time, and it is hard to manipulate them easily, simply because the size of the market is just so big. Even central banks and other large players in the market are not able to make changes that will move the prices of currency pairs as well.  
    While many of the players in the Forex market are going to be larger players like banks and financial institutions, there are still opportunities for investors to get in. However, for the individual to do well, they need to know some of the basics of any movements in the currency, or they are going to run into trouble and will lose more money than they can gain on this market.

    The famous physicist Sir Isaac Newton lectured on optics from 1670 - 1672. He worked on refraction of light into colored beams using prisms and discovered chromatic aberration. He also postulated the corpuscular form of light and an ether to transmit forces between the corpuscles. His "Opticks", first published 1704 contains his postulates about the topic. This is the fourth edition in English, from 1730, which Newton himself had corrected from the third edition before his death. (Summary by Availle)

    The Fatal Strain - On the Trail...

    When avian flu began spreading across Asia in the early 2000s, it reawakened fears that had lain dormant for nearly a century. During the outbreak's deadliest years, Alan Sipress chased the virus as it infiltrated remote jungle villages and teeming cities and saw its mysteries elude the world's top scientists. In The Fatal Strain, Sipress details how socioeconomic and political realities in Asia make it the perfect petri dish in which the fast-mutating strain can become easily communicable among humans. Once it does, the ease and speed of international travel and worldwide economic interdependence could make it as destructive as the flu pandemic of 1918.In his vivid portrayal of the struggle between man and microbe, Sipress gives a front-line view of the accelerating number of near misses across Asia and the terrifying truth that the prospects for this impending health crisis may well be in the hands of cockfighters, live chicken merchants, and witch doctors rather than virologists or the World Health Organization.Like The Hot Zone and The Great Influenza, The Fatal Strain is a fast-moving account that brings the inevitability of an epidemic into a fascinating cultural, scientific, and political narrative.
