Zinashughulikia pointi za kuvunja zinazojibadilisha, takwimu za video, manukuu, na mifumo ya rangi ya hali ya giza. Mitindo pia inarekebisha padding na margins kwa vipengele vya atomu, mistari ya mlalo, na aya ndani ya safu kuu ya maudhui.Nakala uliyotoa ni msimbo wa CSS, si maandishi ya kawaida, kwa hivyo hakuna Kiingereza cha asili cha kuandika upya. Ni seti ya vichaguzi vinavyotumia padding ya juu ya 14px na mtindo wa herufi kubwa ya kwanza kwa aya ya kwanza inayofuata vipengele fulani (kama kipengele cha kwanza cha atomu, lango la kuingia, au mstari wa mlalo) ndani ya vyombo mbalimbali kama vile mwili wa makala, mwili wa maoni, na mwili wa kipengele.Siwezi kuandika upya hilo kama maandishi ya Kiingereza yenye mtiririko—ni kizuizi cha msimbo wa CSS (vichaguzi, sifa, na hoja za media), si maandishi ya lugha ya asili. Hakuna njia yenye maana ya kukibadilisha kuwa sentensi bila kuharibu kazi yake.
Ikiwa ulikusudia kubandika maandishi tofauti, tafadhali shiriki nami na nitakuandikia upya.Msimbo huu wa CSS unafafanua mpangilio unaojibadilisha kwa vichwa vya makala, vichwa vya habari, metadata, standfirsts, na picha za wima.

Mpangilio unarekebisha miundo ya safu na safu mlalo, unaongeza mipaka, na unapanga viungo na takwimu ipasavyo..furniture-wrapper #standfirst:before,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=standfirst]:before{left:-.5px}}.furniture-wrapper .article-header .content__labels>div,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=title] .content__labels>div{padding-top:2px}.furniture-wrapper #headline h1,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=headline] h1,.furniture-wrapper .headline h1{font-weight:600;max-width:620px;font-size:32px}@media (min-width: 71.25em){.furniture-wrapper #headline h1,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=headline] h1,.furniture-wrapper .headline h1{max-width:540px;font-size:50px}}@media (min-width: 46.25em){.furniture-wrapper .keyline-4,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=lines]{margin-right:0}}@media (min-width: 61.25em){.furniture-wrapper .keyline-4,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=lines]{display:none}}.furniture-wrapper .keyline-4 svg,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=lines] svg{stroke:var(--headerBorder)}@media (min-width: 46.25em){.furniture-wrapper #meta,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=meta]{margin-right:0}}.furniture-wrapper #meta .meta__social,.furniture-wrapper #meta .meta__social ul li a span,.furniture-wrapper #meta .meta__comment,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=meta] .meta__social,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=meta] .meta__social ul li a span,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=meta] .meta__comment{border-color:var(--headerBorder)}.furniture-wrapper #meta .content__meta-container_dcr>div>gu-island,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=meta] .content__meta-container_dcr>div>gu-island{display:none}.furniture-wrapper .standfirst,.furniture-wrapper #standfirst,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=standfirst]{margin-left:-10px;padding-left:10px;position:relative}@media (min-width: 46.25em){.furniture-wrapper .standfirst,.furniture-wrapper #standfirst,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=standfirst]{padding-top:2px}}.furniture-wrapper .standfirst p,.furniture-wrapper #standfirst p,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=standfirst] p{font-weight:400;font-size:20px;padding-bottom:14px}.furniture-wrapper #main-media,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=media]{position:relative;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:2px;grid-area:portrait}.furniture-wrapper #main-media div div,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=media] div div{width:100%;margin-inline:0}@media (min-width: 61.25em){.furniture-wrapper #main-media,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=media]{margin-bottom:0}}@media (max-width: 46.24em){.furniture-wrapper #main-media,.furniture-wrapper [data-gu-name=media]{width:calc(100vw -

Aya ndani ya standfirst zinapaswa kuwa kijivu hafifu (#dcdcdc).
Kwenye skrini pana (angalau 61.25em), aya ya kwanza ya standfirst inapata mpaka wa juu katika rangi ya mpaka wa kichwa. Kwenye skrini pana zaidi (angalau 71.25em), mpaka huo wa juu unaondolewa.
Vitu vya orodha katika standfirst pia vinapaswa kuwa kijivu hafifu (#dcdcdc).
Kwenye skrini zenye upana wa angalau 71.25em, mandhari ya kipengele cha pseudo cha standfirst inapaswa kutumia rangi ya mpaka wa kichwa.
Kuanzia 46.25em, kifuniko cha samani kinapata paneli za mapambo za kando. Hizi zina urefu kamili, zimewekwa juu, na mandhari nyeusi na mpaka kwenye ukingo wa ndani. Upana na nafasi yao inahesabiwa kulingana na upana wa kiona ukiondoa upau wa kusogeza na upana maalum wa maudhui (738px kwenye sehemu hii ya kuvunja). Upana huu maalum unaongezeka kwenye sehemu kubwa zaidi za kuvunja: 978px kwa 61.25em, 1138px kwa 71.25em, na 1298px kwa 81.25em.
Vipengele vya SVG katika sehemu za keyline na lines vinapaswa kuwa na mstari wao ukiwekwa kwa rangi ya mpaka wa kichwa.
Katika sehemu ya meta, aikoni za kijamii, vipengele vya maoni, na mipaka inayohusiana yote inapaswa kutumia rangi ya mpaka wa kichwa.
Vichwa vya H2 katika mwili wa makala vinapaswa kuwa na uzito wa fonti wa 200, lakini ikiwa vina tag ya strong, uzito unakuwa 700.
Orodha ndani ya vipengele vilivyowekwa alama ya kuficha kwenye mpangilio wa kuchapisha hazipaswi kuwa na picha ya mandhari.
Wakati lengo la uwasilishaji limewekwa kwa programu, vigezo kadhaa vya CSS vinafafanuliwa: maandishi ya kufuata na maandishi ya standfirst ni kijivu hafifu (#dcdcdc); ujazo wa aikoni ya kufuata, maandishi ya kiungo cha standfirst, mpaka wa kiungo cha standfirst, na byline hutumia rangi ya nguzo; mistari ya meta ya makala hutumia rangi ya mpaka wa kichwa; na byline hutumia rangi ya nguzo ya hali ya giza.
Katika lengo la uwasilishaji la programu, spans za byline zinapaswa kutumia rangi ya nguzo. Span ya byline iliyo na div karibu na kipengele cha FollowWrapper inapaswa kuwa na picha ya mandhari iliyoundwa na rangi ya mpaka wa kichwa.Zaidi ya wanawake 1,000 waliwekeza katika biashara ya utumwa, wakipinga imani ya kawaida kwamba walikuwa wanufaika tu wasiofanya kitu ambao wengi wao walipigania kukomeshwa kwake. Watafiti waligundua kwamba wanawake walinunua, waliuza, na walidhamini hisa katika Kampuni ya Kifalme ya Afrika, Kampuni ya Bahari ya Kusini, na biashara nyingine tofauti, wakitumia faida kutoka kwa usafirishaji wa Waafrika waliotumwa kama watumwa kupata uhuru wa kifedha na kusaidia familia zao. Wakati RAC, ambayo ilisafirisha takriban watu 150,000 waliotumwa kama watumwa, ilipovunjwa mwaka 1752, wanawake walikuwa karibu 10% ya wenye hisa. Rejista ya Wafanyabiashara wa Utumwa wa Uingereza, iliyofichuliwa kipekee katika Guardian, inaonyesha kwamba wanawake kutoka ngazi zote za jamii walicheza jukumu la kazi katika kufadhili na kuendeleza usafirishaji wa Waafrika waliotumwa kama watumwa kuvuka Atlantiki.
Katika karne ya 17 na 18, Wazungu matajiri mara nyingi walichorwa na watoto Weusi waliotumwa kama watumwa kama watumishi. Picha hii inaonyesha Countess wa Dysart, mwanamke mchanga anayedhaniwa kuwa Lady Frances Tollemache, na mtumishi mchanga Mweusi, karibu 1740.
Wawekezaji walianzia kutoka kwa malkia na binti za kifalme hadi wakuu wenye vyeo, wafanyabiashara, wamiliki wa maduka, na wachungaji wa ng'ombe. Kumbukumbu zina barua ambazo wanawake wanajadili faida kutoka "hisa za Kiafrika," wakati rekodi za kampuni zinaonyesha mwekezaji mmoja, Helen Gladman, akiomba RAC kusafirisha msichana mdogo wa Kiafrika kutoka Kisiwa cha Sherbro, karibu na Sierra Leone, hadi Uingereza ili kumtumikia katika kaya yake. Watafiti waligundua wanawake walihusika "karibu kila ngazi" ya shughuli za kampuni. Walifanya kazi kama madalali, walitoa bidhaa ikiwa ni pamoja na mapipa na panga zilizouzwa kwenye pwani ya Atlantiki ya Afrika, walisimamia mali ya kampuni, na walitumia mitandao yao ya familia na kijamii kuimarisha fedha na ushawishi wa kisiasa wa kampuni.
Lila O'Leary Chambers, mhadhiri katika Chuo Kikuu cha Cambridge ambaye alitafiti ushiriki wa wanawake kwa mradi wa rejista, alisema: "Utafiti huu unaonyesha kweli kwamba hili halikuwa jambo la muda mfupi tu. Katika Kampuni yote ya Kifalme ya Afrika na majina yake mbalimbali, kulikuwa na wanawake wakichangia kifedha na wakitarajia faida ya kifedha kutoka kwa biashara ya utumwa."
Wanawake waliwekeza kutoka miaka ya mwanzo ya utumwa, kutoka msaada wa Malkia Elizabeth I katika miaka ya 1560 hadi mkopo wa £1,000 wa Lady Elizabeth Craven uliofadhili safari ya kwenda Gambia kupitia Kampuni ya Guinea. Baadhi ya wawekezaji, wasioweza kuandika majina yao, walitia sahihi rekodi za kampuni kwa "X" iliyofanana na buibui. Utafiti unatambua wawekezaji 1,100 wa kike katika historia za RAC, Kampuni ya Bahari ya Kusini, na biashara nyingine tofauti, ingawa idadi halisi inawezekana ilikuwa kubwa zaidi. Kati ya wanawake 457 ambao hali yao ya ndoa iliweza kutambuliwa, karibu nusu walikuwa wajane na zaidi kidogo ya 42% hawakuwa wameolewa. Kati ya 7% waliokuwa wameolewa, wengi walikuwa wakuu. Kwa wengi, uwekezaji huu ulikuwa muhimu kupata uhuru wa kiuchumi. "Walikuwa wakifanya uamuzi wa kuwekeza, au walirithi hisa na ghafla wakawa na mali hii nyingine ambayo hawakuwa nayo hapo awali," Chambers alisema.
Sarah Longrich alikubali uhamisho wa £100 kutoka kwa George Mordaunt tarehe 7 Aprili 1720. Iliyoangaziwa ni sehemu inayotaja hisa zake katika Kampuni ya Kifalme ya Afrika. Akiwa hawezi kuandika jina lake mwenyewe, Longrich alitia alama kwenye ukurasa badala yake.
Baadhi wakawa wafanyabiashara makini na wakauza hisa kwa marafiki na familia, aliongeza. "Haikuwa kazi kama wangeweza kuiona, lakini sisi tunaweza kufikiri: hii imekuwa kazi yako." Chambers alisema utafiti unapinga moja kwa moja simulizi la kawaida kwamba "wanawake weupe wanakuja wakati wa kukomeshwa, wanaona mateso ya watu waliotumwa kama watumwa, wanajihusisha na ukandamizaji h
