How to write the related work section

My advisor's suggestion on how to write the related work section:

• It's not a literature review. So don't go into to too much details. Describe the work in enough details to show that you understand it.
• Show how the previous work is related to your work.
• You can build on the previous work.
• You can show how you are doing differently.

CSS typography

The em box

• font-size sets the size of the em box.

CSS dimensions

Relative units

• % - percentage of some other size (usually the same size in the parent element).
• em - the font-size of the parent element.

CSS layout: the box model

• Each element is a box.
• Default width: maximum that fits into the parent element.
• Default height: minimum that fits in all the children elements.
• %: Defines the height in percent of the containing block.

• Inline elements can share a line. Examples: <em>, <strong>, <input>, <select>, <img>. They have no margins or paddings.

激情和爱情

今天在开心网上看到的帖子，觉得说的不错，记录下来。

有朋友问到区分激情和爱情，其实很好区分的，当你不见她时茶饭不思，是激情。老想见到她，想和她一起玩，一起上床，一起做白日梦，是激情。每天短信电话多的没完，是激情。为了生日节日费尽心思想浪漫的点子，是激情。当你和她在一起时脑子里不自觉的规划实实在在的将来，是爱情。当你们争吵到很凶，火很大时，也不忍心说一句伤害她的话，是爱情。当你们有分歧时，你总是能清楚的知道她是怎么想的，能理解她的初衷，是爱情。 

Java profiler
