How to make single div(any element) CSS art - A mini thread 🧵

Spoiler: No magic 🪄 All that's required is patience and knowing your way around some properties 👍

Let's gooo! 👇

Starting with this timelapse ⏳

 The "Big" trick? Layered background images 😮

With CSS you can give many backgrounds to an element. Comma separate background images and you're golden ✨🏆

What would this give for a 60px square? 🤔

👉 https://t.co/3N2SzXNn61
It's common that you'll not repeat your background image layers.

Don't repeat yourself(DRY) and drop:

"background-repeat: no-repeat;"

Beneath your background declaration 👍😎
If you watched the timelapse above, it slows where the order of background images are swapped 🤔

Layered backgrounds are a little counter-intuitive because they work the opposite way to z-index stacking. The first is the highest, the last the lowest.

Save the last for backdrop!
What shapes can we make? Pretty much anything that we can > 1 element 😎

Examples? Create quadrilaterals using a linear-gradient from one color to the same color. Create circles with a radial-gradient from one color to transparent with a color stop.

https://t.co/x6ZfnaBrV7
How about a triangle?

1. Use a linear-gradient.
2. One side transparent, the other the color you want.
3. Define the angle.
4. Use a color stop to create a sharp line 💪

https://t.co/wlZ1RC6m7n
Get comfortable with the background-image property 😎
If a shape seems complex, break it down into smaller shapes and layer up 👍

Consider the spectacles in the demo above. It's 11 background images positioned accordingly. 4 for each frame, 1 for the bridge, 1 for each lens 👍
Which leads to an important part!

background-size && background-position are what allow you to create and move the building blocks around your element 💪

We are using the shorthand style structure for the backgrounds.

We could break it up but that gets confusing!
Check out this demo where you can change the background-position and background-size for a background-image 👍😎

Try changing the coefficients or the bounds and see how it reacts 🤓

👉 https://t.co/sls8iMlsdR
That's the bulk of the "magic" behind single element CSS art 🙌

But, it's worth discussing some tips to make life a little easier 😎
Split your background images up into variables 👍😎

Then you can easily identify what's what. Consider this demo. Each component is identifiable. It also makes switching the order around much easier to see 😎

Try changing some property values 😉

https://t.co/3MtGGIihjs
Using CSS variables to power things is huge 💪

In that demo, you can control sizing, colors, features, etc. ✨

Because of scope, you can generate many unique combinations by using JavaScript. Consider the 100
demo 😎

https://t.co/fxPFWVE83b
In the 100
demo, JavaScript generates inline variables for every element. That means so many unique combinations get generated.

Find the "for" loop on line 170 and you can change the number of people generated 😉

Or check out this demo 😎

https://t.co/506EoRFrbl
Last but not least 😅

You've got more than you think 👀 Need a transform or a rotate? Running out of room?

For most elements, you also get two elements for free! 😎

The pseudo-elements :after and :before 👍

https://t.co/NtXjz1XHvw
That's it!

A spontaneous mini-thread about drawing things in CSS with a single element 😅

Had a few questions about the "100 Members of HR" demo and figured I'd throw something together.

The gist: Layer up background images! Layer! Layer! Layer! 😂
Got any other tips or tricks you use?

Still not sure about how to do something?

Let me know! 😄

How to trade on Expiry day with Nifty straddle?
(System trading on Expiry)

Triple straddle is one of the best and accurate methods for expiry day

If nifty trading at 15720 then will sell three straddles above 50 points from ATM, below 50 points and ATM.

Ex.
Sell straddle 15700(ATM), 15650(ATM-50), 15750 (ATM+50)

Stoploss of 80% on every leg and run your trade till 3 PM

Once SL hit in any Leg just keep holding other leg till expiry with SL (Never or less chance to hit both SL on expiry day)

Trading timing at 9:20 the Morning

I am a student of DHSK college, Dibrugarh. I belong to 1 st Sem , History Department. And my generic subject is Political Science. Our history professor Mr Abhijit Baruah on our first day said

“Don’t leave the church because of the people who hurt you. Nobody is perfect, only God”

I’ll explain why this comment is not only not helpful at all, but also very harmful.

1/

The comment assumes we can’t tell the difference between people and toxic theology, it assumes our issues are with a few people who are outliers and misrepresented God, and we just seem to think that’s the totality of divinity. Which makes us appear unintelligent and petty.

2/

But, that’s not the case at all. I didn’t leave because a few people hurt me in the name of God, in fact I stayed long enough to get hurt again, and again, and again, and again. Because it’s not a few bad apples hurting people in the name of God what we are dealing with.

3/

Instead we are talking about systemic abuse due to toxic theology that is taught as righteousness.

Go to any white evangelical church today and conduct all the tests you must to ensure only those who are “good Christians,” remain. I guarantee you people will be harmed there.
4/

Not because people just hurt people, not because Christians have good intentions but sometimes make mistakes; instead because the harm is caused due to indoctrination into toxic theology and a belief that their social and theological framework is not only good,

1/“What would need to be true for you to….X”

Why is this the most powerful question you can ask when attempting to reach an agreement with another human being or organization?

A thread, co-written by @deanmbrody:


2/ First, “X” could be lots of things. Examples: What would need to be true for you to

- “Feel it's in our best interest for me to be CMO"
- “Feel that we’re in a good place as a company”
- “Feel that we’re on the same page”
- “Feel that we both got what we wanted from this deal

3/ Normally, we aren’t that direct. Example from startup/VC land:

Founders leave VC meetings thinking that every VC will invest, but they rarely do.

Worse over, the founders don’t know what they need to do in order to be fundable.

4/ So why should you ask the magic Q?

To get clarity.

You want to know where you stand, and what it takes to get what you want in a way that also gets them what they want.

It also holds them (mentally) accountable once the thing they need becomes true.

5/ Staying in the context of soliciting investors, the question is “what would need to be true for you to want to invest (or partner with us on this journey, etc)?”

Multiple responses to this question are likely to deliver a positive result.

STORY OF PURANAS AND SUB PURANA (उप पुराण).

We have already gone through the series on importance & characteristics of all the eighteen Purans. We also know that originally there were hundred crore shlokas but were divided by Vyas in each Kalp and was compiled as eighteen Purans


for the common people to understand it properly and now their total is about four lakhs.

In Brahm Puran, Brahma preached this to Marichi. So this Puran of ten thousand shlokas is called Brahm Puran.

In Padma Puran, the base of the story is the appearance of Brahma on a lotus(Padm) from Vishnu' s navel.This has fifty five thousand shlokas.

Vishnu Puran is primarily based in Varah kalp. This book is on Vishnu and this book has twenty three thousand shlokas.

Vaayu Puran is written in Shwet Kalp and has twenty four thousand shlokas. Here Vayudev preaches about Dharma.

In Bhagwat Puran, which is written with the base of Gayatri mantra describes Dharma extensively. It has 18000 shlokas. It also mentions the story of Vritrasur.

In Narad Puran, which has twenty five thousand shlokas, is a sermon on Dharma by Narad based in Brihad Kalp.

Markandeya Puran has nine thousand shlokas and here it is through the birds that Dharma is described.
