	* Most Genesis property values are set in em's. 
	* 
	* All modern browsers set a base font of 16px, therefore
	* the default value of 1em = 16px. We reduce this to 12px 
	* to give us a more sensible base font size and to make it 
	* easier to work with.
	*
	* 75% of 16px. (0.75 * 16px = 12px).
	* 1em now is equal to 12 pixels.
	* 1.5em = 18px
	* 2em   = 24px
	* 0.5em = 6px
	* and so on.
