![]() ![]() Google Chrome prefers to shrink them down so just the favicon is visible. Firefox features a horizontal scroll on all your open tabs rather than shrinking them smaller and smaller with each new one. If having tons of open tabs is your thing, then it really comes down to your UI preference. While Chrome gets the nod with add-ons and extensions, Firefox has a nicely curated set of built-in features, such as the incredibly handy screen capture tool, and reading mode feature which strips away everything from the page except the text from the article you’re reading. In terms of features, both Firefox and Chrome offer a large library of extensions and plug-ins, with Chrome’s catalog vastly outnumbering any other browser while nicely integrating with other Google services, like Gmail and Google Docs.Īlthough not as extensive as Chrome’s add-on library, Firefox, as open-source software with a huge number of active contributors, also features an incredible number of useful extensions.įirefox also has a sync feature to see your open and recent tabs, browsing history, and bookmarks across all your devices. But if you’re anything like most people, you’ve probably searched for some things on the internet that you would rather keep private. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide whether or not or where to draw the line with sharing things like your search history and shopping history. Google itself runs the world’s largest advertising network, thanks in large part to data they harvest from their users. They tout that they’re keeping your information private from hackers, but that’s beside the point. However, others might disagree, making the point that Google is actually gathering an unprecedented amount of data for its own marketing purposes. Google makes its case for data collection saying it’s doing it to improve its services – like helping you find a sweater or a coffee shop like the one you previously bought or visited. Google actually collects a disturbingly large amount of data from its users including location, search history and site visits. While Chrome proves to be a safe web browser, its privacy record is questionable. Both include a thing called “sandboxing” which separates the processes of the browser so something like a harmful website doesn’t infect other parts of your laptop or other device. In fact, both Chrome and Firefox have rigorous security in place. Google Chrome is by all accounts a secure browser, with features like Google Safe Browsing, which helps protect users by displaying an impossible-to-miss warning when they attempt to navigate to dangerous sites or download dangerous files. We’ve also recently restated our commitment to privacy and transparency regarding user data in our most recent Privacy Notice that states, “At Mozilla, we believe that privacy is fundamental to a healthy internet.” ![]() In addition to these protections, Private Browsing mode in Firefox automatically deletes your browsing information such as history and cookies, leaving no trace after you finish your session. ![]() It also has an integrated feature called Firefox Monitor that automatically notifies you if your password has been breached or needs to be updated. ETP blocks over 2,000 trackers, including social trackers from companies like Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. For example, the latest version of Firefox includes a feature called Enhanced Tracking Protection (ETP) which is turned on by default for all users worldwide. Security and Privacy Security and Privacyīlocks third-party tracking cookies by defaultĪt Firefox, we have a huge number of dedicated users who appreciate our steadfast dedication to online privacy. At Firefox, we’ve been heads down, working to redesign our interface and provide users with an ever growing number of privacy and performance enhancements that are automatic by default as well as plenty of handy browser tools.Īnd so here we are, the browser-wars are escalating once again and it’s time to reevaluate and compare Firefox Browser vs Google Chrome. A lot has changed since 2008 when Chrome came onto the scene. It was faster for loading sites, took up minimal screen space and offered an undeniably simple user interface.įast-forward to today, the competitive landscape for browsers has changed, with many people beginning to question just what is happening to their online data such as browsing history, passwords, and other sensitive information. In 2008, Google introduced Chrome, and its impact as an innovation in browser technology was immediate. ![]() ![]() Of course, you can insert placeholders into a table and InDesign will replace them with your data. Unfortunately, with data merge you can import only textual data and link to images. It has the name of the product, its picture, a short description, the price, and a barcode. We need to create a prototype, in InDesign, of the layout we want to use in the data merge process. So, If you are looking for a way to create several business cards in just a few seconds, you should definitely read that post. Update 2020: I recently wrote a new tutorial on how to make several business cards using InDesign Data Merge. When should you use data merge?ĭata merge is great when you have to lay out a document (or part of a document) that has a "prototype example" (repetitive layout) that needs to be repeated in a grid or one record per page with different data. However, she doesn't talk about data merge with images, so for that (and because this guide goes more in depth), I invite you to keep reading even after you've seen the video. It's great content, explained very well, and Teela’s voice is calm and clear. She explains in eight minutes how to create a certificate using data merge. If you prefer a video guide, see this video by Teela Cunningham. Read further in the tutorial to create documents with a structure-layout similar to these: Run a preview to make sure of the result.Add the placeholders to the prototype design in your document.Select the data source in InDesign using the Data Merge panel.Create a prototype in an InDesign document. ![]() Create the data source file-in the first row, name the fields (use in front of the field name for images).In this tutorial, I'll show you the basics and then I'll highlight possible issues you might encounter and their solutions, so that you can master this feature in no time. So before jumping in and trying it out yourself, I’d suggest reading the whole tutorial and learning first about the limitations and errors that you may face later. Using data merge is not hard at all, but you might need a few attempts to get it right. With data merge you can easily paginate text and images in InDesign in a matter of seconds by reading an external data source file in. ![]() ![]() ![]() There are four key areas to focus on for SEO keywords:Īdd a keyword to the headers or titles on your website pages. Once you’ve identified 10-15 SEO keywords, it’s time to add them to your site in a strategic way. ![]() You could also use your location or city, such as “Toronto,” “California,” and/or “United States,” as well as key services you offer, such as “photography shoots,” “photography gear rentals,” or “photo consultations.” Add SEO Keywords to Your Photography Site What do you call a person who does what I do?įor example, you may use basic keywords like “photographer,” “photography,” and “images.” You may then add specific keywords like “ landscape photography,” “portrait photography,” or “maternity photography.” If you are doing wedding photography SEO, you may use specific keywords like “bride portraits” or “wedding venue images.” Go from basic keywords to specific keywords to ensure you cover a wide range.

![]() ![]() “People need predictable time off,” Carter says. It’s the familiar phenomenon of technology tethering us to work 24/7, combined with our failure to set expectations and boundaries. Just because you can work anytime from anywhere doesn’t mean that you should work all the time, everywhere. Carter agree, is that the overload is more widespread - and worse. ![]() ![]() The idea is to live in a way that we feel productive and not burned out at work, and that we have a sense of fulfillment at home and in our personal lives, says Christine Carter, PhD, a senior leader at BetterUp and a sociologist and senior fellow at the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California in Berkeley, who studies happiness and productivity. “You can overload people if the requirements they have from one role, such as one at work, conflict with the demands of another role, such as that of a parent,” says Jeffrey Pfeffer, PhD, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University Graduate School of Business in California and author of the book Dying for a Paycheck. Psychologists and productivity experts have been studying it for decades to better understand what actually makes people happy, so that they can improve work environments and overall mental health. When Did We Start Talking About ‘Work-Life Balance’ Anyway? ![]() ![]() The window arches, quoins and coping stones of the west front, and the turrets of the tower, which are contrasted with a grey-coloured Devonian limestone, of Buckfast Abbey, Devon, are of Ham Hill Stone. It was used also for Sherborne Abbey, Dorset. It is a durable building stone which is most widely known for its use for the classic masterpiece, Montacute House, Somerset built in 1603. The second was darker in colour and known as the Grey Bed. One was pale brown or buff in colour and known as the Yellow Bed. Although the formation may be more or less sandy in places, the stone is correctly classified as a limestone, rather than a sandstone. A richly-toned brown in colour, it consists mostly of broken fossil shells with a ferruginous cement. ![]() It has been worked at least since Roman times and some Roman coffins are made of it. ![]() Ham Hill Stone, from the upper part of the Lias, quarried at Hamdon Hill, near Norton-sub-Hamdon, Somerset, is a lenticular mass of detrital shelly limestone about 90 feet (27m) thick although only about 50 feet ( 15 m) is worked for building stone. The thirteenth century church at Hornton, Oxfordshire is a prime example of the use of the greenish brown variety. This popular stone was used far more widely than is generally realized. Hornton Stone was used for the reredos of Ampleforth Abbey Church, Yorkshire, in the church at Harold Wood, Essex, the War Memorial, Staff College, Camberley, Surrey, the Moat House Hotel, Stratford-on-Avon, Warwickshire (where fine nests of Terebratulids can be seen in the stone), and elsewhere. It was also used for his, Mother and Child (1924), Reclining Figure (1947), Square Form (1936) and other pieces (Figure 4.52). ![]() The stone was often used by the sculptor Henry Moore, for example for the Memorial Figure at Dartington Hall, Devon.

If you run over these, you gain energy, allowing the professor to run faster. As you run, you will find that some Plancks will have glowing blue sections on the floor. If you are going straight, and want to jump over a gap, tap-and-hold on both sides of the screen at once. To jump longer distances, simply tap-and-hold in the direction you want to go. To move left and right, just tap on the appropriate side of the screen. Otherwise, he’ll fall to his death and become nothing but particles himself, and we don’t want that. The professor will automatically be running, but it is your job to help him safely make his way to the end by running from Planck to Planck and jumping over gaps. In order to complete these particles, you need to reach the end of the stage without dying, which is actually easier said than done.Īs you make your way through the accelerator, you’ll discover that this is a brand new world where floors and ceilings are non-existent. The game consists of six different stages (or “experiments,” if you will), but you have to unlock the rest by completing and discovering the previous particles. In order to find these particles, you must jump into a giant particle accelerator to run, jump, and collide your way to finding these brand new particles. Verdict: Mindless fun which is why it's insulting if you can't complete it.Boson X features a pretty basic storyline - you play as a science professor, who is in search of new particles that have yet to be discovered, including the very rare and elusive Boson X. Boson X can be downloaded at īoson-x/17690/. For more info, you can download the game and check the two txt files that come with it. The game uses the Lotech engine which makes use of various open source libraries. I've also tried Ken's theme music from Street Fighter. You can download it for free from the Retro City Rampage website. What I do is turn the music in the options down to 0 percent and then play the Hotline Miami Soundtrack, starting from the second track, Hydrogen Renegade from the Retro City Rampage soundtrack works just as well. It would pose a more interesting, varied challenge if there were more combinations of platforms to tackle for each experiment. ![]() When you attempt each experiment as much as I have, it becomes easy to predict what will happen next. By that I mean the order in which the platforms appear, not experiments. It would be nice if there were a greater variety of scenarios. Simply enter a name for the leaderboards and you're there. You don't need to be registered with Game Jolt. You can effortlessly connect to the internet to compare high scores. The license may allow for modding I'm not too fluent when it comes to legalese. The game gets some extra points for being Alt+Tab friendly, only 10 megabytes in size, and cool with me running my own background music. FYI, I'm running v1.0.4 and it is completely bug-free in my experience. It turned particularly bland in the final experiment to discover the X Boson particle. Also, the background music is forgettable. ![]() I do not appreciate how pressing an additional directional key in the middle of my jump will bring me down from the jump. Pressing Esc will redirect you to the level selection menu with no scope for continuation. The screenshots will not suffice to strengthen my point on the aesthetics of this game.īoson X loses points because there is no way to pause it. The animation is smooth, the colour scheme and display simple and elegant. It is a fairly tough game with a genuine sense of accomplishment waiting at the end. Once you've discovered 5 particles, then the elusive X Boson particle is up for discovery through the final experiment. The default running speed, the panels your professor will encounter, the colour scheme and even the way panels appear on screen vary with each experiment. With each level, called an experiment, you discover a different particle. There is no up or down on the inside of this decagonal prism, which claims to be a massive particle accelerator. You accelerate when you run along the blue panels.
