Not a great solution but has seemed to work for our users so far. Ran into this same issue, our quick work around was view the document in Print Layout and the text would stay. So, stay tuned with us.ġ1:55 am (IST): Some users have managed to find a temporary workaround that can help you get rid of disappearing text issue on the iOS app and here’s what you need to do. We will update this article if there is any new development in this matter in the coming days. It might be a while, but you’ll hear from me once I have some news. I’ve escalated this issue and will let you know whether this is a bug or design change whenever I hear something back. But, affected users are still awaiting news on the matter. Google product experts confirmed that both glitches were escalated to higher levels. This results in that now only half of the content can be seen on screen than before. ![]() Any help is appreciated.Īpparently, the glitch appears mainly with checkboxes. And it makes some lists useless because I can’t see all my options in one page. That’s a lot of scrolling to do in a busy grocery store. I know this seems like a small issue, but double spacing means I can only see half as many items. And it looks completely different from my husband’s app, so it doesn’t seem like an update. I can’t find any setting that would do this. But when I woke up today to check one, the line spacing between things had doubled. According to reports, the spaces between lines in Google Keep became at least twice as large for some users. The other reported bug does not seem to be limited to any particular OS. But, not being able to read it is a big issue. The glitch is visual, since invisible text can still be selected. At the beginning of a document, everything is displayed correctly, but when you go down a bit more, the text begins to disappear. The occurrence of the problem reportedly depends on the scroll. Anyone ever seen this before? I cant seem to find anything about it online. I can still highlight the words but I can not see them, it looks like I am highlighting empty space. But when I scroll down to center the text it becomes no longer visible. When the paragraph is at the bottom of the screen the text is there. On my google doc iphone app I have two documents where entire segments of text turn invisible depending on how far up the page I scroll. In this case, the Google Docs app on iOS suffers from a text disappearing bug where large sections of a document become invisible. The first reported issue seems to be occurring only on iOS devices. ![]() Google Docs text disappearing glitch on iOS While the first is a word processor, the second allows you to take notes, lists, and reminders.īut, in the last days, some users of both services are facing some annoying issues that affect the user experience.

Building a personal bank of boolean phrases can help you quickly organize which searches provided the best results. You can use them in the future and edit them as your talent search changes. Start a collection of your personal boolean strings. With these tools, you can input information about your search and the system generates a boolean string you can use on Google or related sites such as Linked In, etc. Two sites that are notable are Recruitin and Hireez online boolean builders. This is helpful if you routinely perform different searches. Many sites have free boolean generators you can use to build a “boolean string” or search phrase. If you are seeking talent for a role, use specific titles, certifications or geographic locations in your search. Make sure your keywords capture the information you are trying to obtain. Tips for Effectively Using a Boolean Search Be Descriptive OR: Includes any keywords you’ve listed.NOT: Excludes any keywords that follow “NOT”.Being as specific as possible with your keywords helps the search operators bring the best results. For example, if you were looking for “Benefits Coordinator” this would be your keyword (search term). Keywords are the search terms the end-user is searching for. It is important to be as detailed as possible to get the best results. Remember, a Boolean search contains a search operator and the specific term(s) you are seeking. With a Google search, you can create a boolean string (or phrase) that provides results obtained from those sites. to mean add an automatic boolean AND between words, like Google does. Boolean logic can be used to search on multiple sites such as LinkedIn or Twitter. This page lists several tips and tricks that you may find useful to this effect. Here’s an example to illustrate how it works: This Boolean search tells Google to look for the terms car and Berlin-Mitte with two (or fewer) words between them. If you are seeking talent in specialized roles, using boolean search techniques can help you identify hard to find talent. Boolean operators save time while bringing you targeted information that would normally take much longer if you had to browse multiple web pages. Why are Boolean Searches Important in Hiring? Asterisk *: Used to search the root, stem or variation of a word, like admin* = administration, administrator, administer, administered.Parentheses ( ): Combines operators for a complex search like (director of talent OR HR director).This information is general tips & tricks and is meant to help in general use. DISCLAIMER Databases and search engines vary and may use portions of Advanced Searching. Quotes “ “: Used for exact phrases like “director of talent” For the most part web search engines like Google do not respond to the use of these more advanced searching techniques but they can be useful in the Library Databases.There are many other operators used in a Boolean Search such as: OR makes your search inclusive to the terms listed. NOT excludes a specific item from your search. AND is typically used for two search terms. Using AND limits the search to those two states only. A boolean operator helps bring the results you are looking for by doing most of the heavy lifting for you. When performing a Google search, the information found online can be overwhelming. When used in a search, the results shown are limited to the information you’ve provided. They can make your life painless, and your search exponentially more. And that’s exactly where Boolean search strings step in For a recruiter, Boolean search strings are a godsend. But here’s the thing Google search holds such power to offer highly customized results should you want it. Operators, also called modifiers, are terms such as AND, NOT, and OR. Enter a keyword or a key phrase and hit search. This is called a Boolean Search.Ī boolean search is a technique to search for information using an operator and keywords. If you work in talent, there are many techniques to obtain information faster and more concisely. A Boolean search allows system users to combine keywords with operators such as AND and OR. ⚠️ Important: if you're using the Advanced Search Builder to construct your search query, you'll need to pay close attention to the order of operations and add parentheses to the resulting search in the search bar as necessary.The internet is a vast place! Think about the number of unlimited web pages, databases, social sites, and more. □ To search for a conversation ONLY between two parties, you can combine multiple fields, like this:Įmail_fields.smtp_from: AND ONLY ( email_fields.to:"elan rye" OR email_fields.smtp_to: will return emails between Corona Urn Elan Rye in which Corona Urn is the sender and Elan Rye is the recipient in the "To" field. The fields in which an ONLY operator can be used as a modifier are: ![]() ![]() Will return document in which "Joe Cull" is the ONLY metadata in the "Email To" metadata field. Searches for documents that match ONLY a given value. ![]() This one just isn’t Starfire.Īs consumers we want a quality product, based on the set photos – it doesn’t look like we are going to get that with Titans at this point in time.As soon as I put it on, everyone was flipping out. I hope DC Comics takes the actual criticism they got for the suit design to heart and makes some significant changes in either post or gets her a new suit as the show progresses. But nothing on the entire suit design screamed, “This is Starfire!” The only thing she had going for her was the purple dress and maybe the green gem on her necklace. It was even hard to figure out exactly who she was supposed to be if you didn’t know Anna Diop was playing Starfire. The design we saw this week didn’t look anything like the Starfire from the comics. A lot of comparisons were made to the ABC’s Inhumans, which had its own problems with Medusa’s hair. They weren’t directing their criticism to the actress, but to the designers of the costume. In fact, many of the comments I saw were ashamed of the Titans production crew because of how cheap they made Starfire look. While I am sure there were a few nasty and cruel comments, I didn’t really see that many. And because I know this – I’m unfazed □ But for anyone out there who may not – I am here to remind you that whatever ugly and negative thing anyone ever chooses to say about you is always a reflection and revelation of themselves- it does NOT define you, and it certainly does NOT make you any less perfect than you are – Be you! Stay beautiful! Live breezy □ As always, Racist, derogatory, and/or cruel comments have nothing to do with the person on the receiving end of that abuse. This is weak, sad, and a direct reflection of the abuser. Too often social media is abused by some who find refuge in the anonymity and detachment it provides: misused as a tool to harass, abuse, and spew hatred at others. And though I am highly unbothered ? I do want to use this as an opportunity to say that tearing people down is not something that I tolerate. With that said – the hate speech that followed was deplorable. And also a misrepresentation of the phenomenal production behind it all. ![]() It’s out of context and it’s a misrepresentation of the incredible character I get to play. And it was unfortunate because fans have been waiting MONTHS for a photo of ‘Starfire’ and a sloppy (?) photo of me on a curb in 15 degree weather is what they got instead ? For the sake of our incredible fans – I hated that this is the first picture people are seeing. “To the ‘Titan’ fans: Yesterday a photo of me on set leaked online.

Chrome is heading in the direction of deprecating SMIL in favor of CSS animations and the Web Animations API. Now, you may be wondering: Why CSS? Why not animate with SMIL, the native SVG animation specification? As it turns out, there’s declining support for SMIL. To boot, SVGs are vector based, so they scale flawlessly across screen sizes and zoom levels without creating crunchy pixelization. Plus, there are a lot of simple animations that can be created without the need to add yet another JavaScript plugin to your website’s page load. Comprised of code instead of thousands of raster image frames, they’re performant and have a faster load time than bulky GIFs and videos.

Try something from our Wearever Collection including full-leg, slim-leg and paper-bag-waist pants. I mean, it is a work of historical fiction, after all. And you’ve got to think - a lot of historical research had to have gone into this. I am sure I would probably be able to come up with a few solid pages after looking at it long enough. Now, in all fairness - it is a fantastic painting. No - what is most impressive about Eddie is the fact that he wrote this entire novel, a written depiction of the events leading up to the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, which effectively decimated the whole city of Pompeii to the point that you can’t even find fossils of the birds that used to sit on trees there (they all got fire roasted like a can of tomatoes ) after looking at a painting. What is perhaps most impressive about Eddie, though, has nothing to do with his gaudy name or extensive political career. Coined many a phrase - “the almighty dollar,” “the pen is mightier than the sword,” and even the oft-parodied story opener “it was a dark and stormy night” (which has become so infamous that it has inspired an annual contest - the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest - in which a cash reward is granted to the entrant who can craft the worst possible opening sentence to a novel the contest started was first held in 1982 and is put on by the English Department at San Jose State University). Well, the Benz Patent-Motorwagen did hit the scene towards the tail end of the Victorian era, but this was long after our pal Eddie (I am just going to call him Eddie from here on out, by the way - for brevity’s sake, naturally) had kicked the bucket. On second thought, they probably did not have a Department of Motor Vehicles in nineteenth-century England because they did not have motor vehicles back then.
