React Native project, we have also learned about React Native components.
in order to design the screens or the views for our application.
So in this assignment, we will explore these topics in a bit more detail.
the navigation bar, you would see two new views in the navigation bar.
contact page here, or contact screen here.
This contact screen will display the address of our restaurant in a card here.
So this is the typical React Native elements card.
And inside this card, this address is displayed using text elements.
And the contact information is displayed there using the title for the card.
that is provided in the exercise resources in the instructions there.
then construct this contact component.
and also add the About Component to our application.
This about component displays the history of the restaurant.
so you can copy it from there and then use it there.
is displayed here inside a card with the title Corporate Leadership there.
you can see that you need to create a list of this Corporate Leaders information.
I am sure by now you have already guessed how to construct this in your application.
to lay out this content from the leaders there.
Contact Us component into the navigation of our application.
So you will add in the About Us and the Contact Us to the draw component.
add in appropriate stack navigated components for About Us and Contact Us.
the list of items being displayed in the side draw.
So these are the three tasks in this assignment.
I hope you have fun completing the first assignment of this course.


From the moment you bring baby home, you need to think differently about safety, even within the friendly environment that is your home. You've probably always thought of your home as a warm, comforting and welcoming space. But with a baby or small child, there could, in fact, be hazards that never crossed your mind before.
At this stage, babies aren't mobile, but they are wiggly, so there are still hazards that you might not have thought of before.
It doesn't take a baby long to learn to roll. You might have gotten in the habit of putting baby down on the sofa or on a table to change them, but you can't take your eyes off them for an instant! They could easily roll off, even at a month or two old, in the blink of an eye!
Sure, it's cute that Fido is looking at your new baby with what you assume to be love in his eyes, but you should never, ever leave a baby or small child alone with pets. Over 100,000 kids in the US go to the hospital every year because of dog bites and typically it's the family pet that is involved.
Young children are prone to tugging on tails, ears, fur and feet. Any pet might react badly to the treatment, no matter how docile they've been in the past. So if you have dogs or cats, you need to keep them out of the nursery and out of baby's crib.
A baby's way of getting to know the world around them includes putting things in their mouths. Make sure that baby can't reach any item that is smaller than the throat. How can you tell? Use a cardboard toilet paper roll as a testing tool: if the item fits into the tube, it's too small for a baby.
Most age-specific toys are vetted for removable too small parts, but you need to be on the lookout just in case.
At this point, most babies are sitting up and even crawling, so you need to see things from their point of view. Get down on your hands and knees in the spaces they will be playing, so that you can spot any hazards. You'd be surprised what you might not notice from an adult vantage point that becomes glaringly obvious from a baby's point of view.
Hide them behind furniture or under rugs. Window blind cords should also be hung up and put out of reach.
The battery cover on a remote can pop off, leaving the batteries exposed to baby's tiny fingers.
Cabinet doors at baby level need to be locked / baby proofed.
Pet food and any chemical products need to be out of reach.
Heavy furniture, including dressers and TVs, should be anchored to the wall.
Install baby gates at the top AND the bottom of stairs.
At this stage, they are pulling themselves upright and starting to take their first steps. The baby gates at the stairs are even more important now, but they can be useful in the doorways of other rooms, either to keep the kids in or the pets out.
Watch the level at which you put anything down. A hot cup of coffee forgotten on a low coffee table could result in a severe burn.
Door knob covers or latches on the door, at a height the child cannot reach. The bathroom is a particular danger zone, between the toilet and the taps, as well as all those hard edges.
Filled with knives and detergent pods, a dishwasher without a safety latch could be a hazard. Point knives downwards in the basket, only put the detergent in at the last second and put a latch on it. If your unit comes with a locking mechanism, get into the habit of using it long before it becomes an issue!
A loose carpet is a hazard for a toddler as they are often going faster than their feet should allow! The can easily trip or slip on a rumpled carpet, sending them crashing to the floor.
There are dozens of plants that are hazardous if ingested, so make sure that you don't have any in the house, or at least in spaces where the baby / toddler spends time. Here are a few examples: Calla lilies, Lily-of-the-Valley, Daisies, Mistletoe, Periwinkles, Holly and more.
There's no need to remove everything from your home, but you need to be mindful of things that could cause harm. A preventable accident can take a split second, but leave a lifetime of regret!

This little southern Adirondack town is unique in its ability to balance modern amenities with nature and beauty. Speculator is the only incorporated village in Hamilton County. It lies completely in the town lines of Lake Pleasant, Hamilton County's Seat, and on the shores of the lake, Lake Pleasant. Speculator and Lake Pleasant have history at almost every stop along route 30 and route 8. In the 1920s Speculator was a famous boxing town with Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Gene Tunney training at the Osbourne Inn. Gene trained in Speculator for 3 of his championship bouts from 1926-1928, including 2 against Jack Dempsey. Gene training in Speculator also brought other famous boxers to train in the area too. These include Hall of Famers Max Schmeling and Max Baer among others.
Loius Seymour "French Louie" was also from the area. French Louie was a well known Adirondack hermit and guide, He was also known for his partying ways when he would come into town to sell his furs. It is often said he would come in sell his furs and be broke by time he left town again. "French Louie's" grave stone is located behind "Charlie Johns" Grocery store in the village and is visited by hundreds of people a year. Some of these people leave gifts for Louie. From traps and French coins to French flags and whisky bottles. You can read more about this Adirondack woodsman in Adirondack French Louie: Early Life in the North Woods written by Harvey L Dunham.
Besides the history. Speculator / Lake Pleasant also has many amenities such as fine dining with over half a dozen restaurants you are never short on selection. And it has a wonderful town square style park, with the public beach across the road, a picnic pavilion, a soft ball field, basketball courts, and a small playground for children. Next to the pavilion is a public use brick barbeque pit. Behind the soft ball field is a well maintained handicap accessible nature path. With a built up boardwalk over the marshy sections and signs posted along the trail explaining the foliage. This walk will lead you down to the edges of the Sacandaga river where it leaves Lake Pleasant, and gives a stunning view (especially in the fall).
If nature is what you are looking for, this is the place for you. You can choose from fishing for the many fish in this area (Pickerel, Perch, Trout…) to Bird watching (Osprey, Loons, Geese…) to watching for the deer, bear and moose that frequently travel through the area. Where the Sacandaga river leaves Lake Pleasant, it is slow and meandering, it creates a great area to canoe and kayak. 1 ½ miles down river the Kunjamuck river empties into the Sacandaga. You can paddle 4 to 4 ½ miles up the Kumjamuck which would give you a good day on the water.
With all this don't forget how popular this little village and town can be in the winter. With access from Speculator to thousand of miles of snowmobile trails, heading north, south, east, and west. A ski mountain right in town, Oak mountain is updated with lights that offer a fantastic view when lit up at night. The lake is a great ice fishing spot as well, with an almost guarantee, to catch fish every day.
There is so much more to do in the area I can't put it all here. Take the time to explore a true Adirondack gem, like everyone else you won't be disappointed.

The valley of flowers changes its colors almost every day as it blooms with hundreds of different flowers, taking on various shades as time progresses. The valley was declared a National Park in 1982 and now is a World Heritage Site. It was believed by the locals that the valley was inhabited by fairies.
Valley of flowers was discovered in the year 1931, when Frank S. Smythe, a British mountaineer along with six other British mountaineers lost their way while descending from Mount Kamet, at 25,447 feet, situated in Garhwal Himalayas. Below 16,000 feet there was heavy rainfall and dense mist surrounded the mountain side. They paused, uncertain to the route. Suddenly R. L. Holdsworth, a botanist as well as a climbing member of the expedition exclaimed "Look", Frank S. Smythe followed the direction of his outstretched hand. At first he could see nothing but rocks, then suddenly his wandering gaze was arrested by a little splash of blue, and beyond it were other splashes of blue, a blue so intense it seemed to light the hillside. You can see such bluish shade of Valley of Flowers even today especially in July month till September Mid.

Nutpods in Seattle is a multimillion-dollar business with both national and international distribution. However, it is unlikely the non-dairy creamer company would be the success it is today had it not been for Amazon.
In just two years, Haydon has turned her kitchen counter recipe into a formidable competitor to veteran creamer brands such as Nestlé's Coffeemate.
Madeline Haydon, founder of Nutpods, perfected the first recipe of her increasingly popular non-dairy creamer on her kitchen counter.
Her Amazon store allowed her to start and grow her business without the huge budgets that billion-dollar companies traditionally use to bring new products to market.
Haydon's fast track to Amazon favorite taught the determined entrepreneur how to score big using the e-commerce giant's playbook.
Haydone learned that new brands like Nutpods get lost and disappear on Amazon if they don't have a loyal customer base willing to seek them out when they launch.
Before Nutpods went global, it was a Kickstarter campaign. This not only helped raise money, but Haydon says it also helped her to test the market.
The Nutpods Kickstarter campaign proved so successful that the company was able to cultivate a cadre of loyal brand followers whose comments and activity on Amazon got the attention of those who didn't know about Nutpods. Additionally, contributions from the early Nutpods investors showed Haydon and her team that people would seek out her coconut-almond creamer once it became available.
Peter Kearns, a former Amazon manager and current e-commerce consultant, says that reviews are essential for companies looking to increase their visibility on Amazon. According to Kearns, the reviews are where most Amazon shoppers start.
Former Amazon leader, Peter Kearns says reviews are essential to Amazon marketplace success.
Nutpods used their early contact with customers to identify and cultivate the biggest enthusiasts so that when the Amazon site went live the loyal Nutpods lovers were prepared to go to the site and buy.
Amazon prohibits its sellers from asking for reviews and deletes fake reviews, so the Nutpods team got their word out through use of their social media pages, website, and blog posts.
The blog and the Amazon site feature recipes and stories about Nutpods that keep her loyal customers engaged with the brand. Nutpods consumers then write Amazon after trying the recipes.
Haydon has posted photos of her product that can be blown up. She shows the ingredient information and shows her product in use stirred into a cup of coffee to inspire visitors to order the product.
Her sharp professional-grade photos help buyers to decide whether or not Nutpods are a product they want to buy.
Lastly, Haydon makes sure to monitor her inventory and make sure that there is enough product on hand to avoid running out.
Amazon takes careful note of the products that are delivered late or arrive broken, and penalizes repeat offenders.
With these elements in place, Haydon's Nutpods are well positioned to reach the same market that big brands with big budgets control via brick and mortar stores. However, she'll always stay close to her roots.
