HTML elements (tags) OL, UL and LI are used to create lists on web pages. These tags are quite handy and easy to use. They also come with several options to adjust look and functionality of the created lists. Concerning such lists, one functionality is, however, still not available in HTML or CSS standards. At times, in these lists, we want to distinguish even and odd items for better scannability and readability....
Hooks The most common crochet hook sizes used for miniature crochet are the metric sizes .40, .60, .75, 1, 1.25, 1.5 mm.

Private Firms Versus Government Mints The Franklin Mint and Bradford Exchange were privately-owned companies that put out “collectibles” of various types, including coins. Since coins produced from these private firms are not from official government entities, most coin collectors are not interested in them. Although certain products issued by these companies (and their competitors) do have some modest secondary market value, their coins have historically done very poorly. Except for a couple of early Franklin Mint sets, coin dealers just put these coins on a scale to weigh them and pay between 90% to 95% of the spot price of silver or gold....
Let’s understand the problem with an example. Create a DIV and let’s call it “wrapper-div”. Now create a DIV inside wrapper. Let’s call this second DIV as “inner-div”. Now when you’ll add content to inner-div and its height will increase due to increasing content –the wrapper-div will not automatically expand to keep on wrapping the inner-div. Are you facing a similar problem? Many new programmers to CSS world feel baffled with this problem....
Before, we get into a bit technical stuff let’s recap what are C and C++. Well, C is probably the most widely used computer programming language. C was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1969 and 1973 at AT&T Bell Labs. The reason why C has been so popular lies in the efficiency with which C converts into machine instructions. This efficiency has made the applications written in C super-fast....
Creativity in Everyday Objects Some of the most beautiful works of art focus on the everyday. A simple mug or a piece of fruit can be an inspiration for a simple and beautiful drawing. You can concentrate on accurate shapes and values, or explore expressive line and atmospheric tone. Try drawing and painting one object in various ways and with different mediums. Do a scrapbook or sketchbook page with a sketch of your favorite mug on your kitchen table, a photo and a note about why you love it....
The baby quilts are made from simple fabric squares. You needn’t learn quick-piecing methods because it’s easy to arrange each square side by side. Then sew them together with a quarter-inch seam allowance. Experimenting with individual squares is an excellent way to become familiar with color value, an important ingredient that allows the quilt’s layout to emerge when patches are sewn together. Use Precut Squares to Simplify Construction Try fabric precuts to make assembly even easier....
Some of the Mother’s Day coloring pages are simple and perfect for the little kids. Some of the others are more complex and the older kids will really like the challenge of them. Whichever one they choose, mom is sure to love it. After they’re are colored, you can turn them into a Mother’s Day card by writing the name of the back or put it in a frame to gift to mom for a simple Mother’s Day gift....
Make a Sampler Quilt with the Quilt Blocks Many eight-inch quilt blocks are four patch designs that can be easily combined to create a sampler quilt. You don’t need a specific sampler quilt layout pattern to sew a unique quilt – simply try separating your blocks with sashing and cornerstones. If you prefer, omit the cornerstones and use plain sashing strips instead. Separating quilt blocks with sashing is a helpful technique to use when the patchwork in adjacent blocks doesn’t meet up in a symmetrical way after the blocks are sewn together, something that can happen even if quilt blocks are the same size....

What is International Targeting (Geographic Target) in Google Search Console Some websites have content that is primarily targeted for a particular country or language. As a result, the content of such websites will not be of high importance to the other areas in the world. The said utility in the Search Console allows you to set a geographic area which you think is the target of your website’s content. You can select a country from the given list as your target....
Two Parts of the Same Tree The differences between heartwood and sapwood are related to how a tree grows. If you were to crosscut the trunk of a mature hardwood tree and remove the bark and outer cambium layer (which eventually becomes new bark), you’d notice two distinct sections of the trunk. The outer, lighter-colored wood is the sapwood. This is the “working” part of the tree, since water and sap flow through the sapwood much like blood through your arteries, veins, and capillaries....
House Rules for Free Parking Many Monopoly players prefer to use a house rule that puts either a set amount of money or all money paid to the bank into a Free Parking jackpot that is won by a player who lands on the Free Parking space. This rule makes the game run longer and be more luck-driven than skill-driven. There are plenty of variations in the house rules. All players should agree which (if any) variation is used before beginning the game....
Why Don’t People Finish UFO Quilts? There are many reasons quilts are never finished: The quilter ran out of fabric before making enough blocks for the quilt. A quilter lost interest in the project, maybe because it didn’t look as envisioned when choosing fabrics for the quilt. Maybe the quilt includes too many ‘mistakes’ that would be difficult to fix. Small variations may not even be noticed in the finished project, but many quilters are only satisfied with perfection....
