There are many things Target does well, but one thing they do better than any other retailer is collaborate with major brands and designers. They know their consumers and they know exactly what they want. I mean how else does one walk out with $30 worth of dollar spot stuff? Or is that just me? And I'm going to go ahead and assume we all remember what happened with the Lilly Pulitzer for Target collection.
I normally try to stay on top of when Target is releasing their next collaboration and the Who What Wear collection was no exception. I stalked the lookbook the day it came out, but, with the exception of this skirt, nothing really stood out to me. I decided to wait until I saw the collection in store and surprisingly had a hard time finding it.
I went to one of my favorite stores – yes, I really do have my list of favorite Target stores near us – only to figure out that the Who What Wear collection was a limited release. Meaning they decided to only put it into stores that were high volume and had the potential to sell through the product quickly. I'm not too sure if this is a new practice with Target collaborations, but I was a little surprised by it.
One of the two stores that had the collection was my second favorite Target on my list, so a few days later I made my way there. We needed canned coconut milk and I couldn't find it at my grocery store, so I just had to go. I was surprised again when I saw that the entire collection was there and in almost every size. After seeing the collection in person, I'm not too sure why so much of it was left. The only reason I didn't walk out with multiple pieces was because most of the collection is basics and I have a ton of that in my closet already. But, this is great for someone who needs to build a work wardrobe, or simply needs a little refreshing!
The piece I did walk out with was this black and white A-line skirt. I love the versatile print and honestly, I don't have a ton of skirts in my closet. A-line skirts are great for everything from work wear to weekend wear and can easily transition from season to season with a pair of opaque tights. I'm still trying to keep my outfits true to season with a little side of spring, so I paired it with this lightweight Topshop turtleneck (under $20!) and a pair of basic black pumps. The pop of color says spring while long sleeves and otherwise neutral colors say there's still a chance I could freeze at any given moment!
Whether you're a Target collaboration junkie like me, or just looking to add a few fun basics to your wardrobe, I highly recommend checking out the Who What Wear collection! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention! They're adding new pieces every month, so be on the lookout!
I hope your Tuesday is off to a great start! I'm officially half way through Whole 30 today so I am determined to make today a good one!


I had the opportunity attend the OC Mobile Conference at OC Center Club, hosted by OCTANe on March 27, 2014. This was my 1st OC Mobile Conference. The Center Club is always great and the lineup of speakers was outstanding. Throughout the day the theme was Mobile has become the center of our lives and it continues to grow.
Security is more of an issue for Android devices than for Apple devices. There is an ever-changing game of cat and mouse security wise. Jack Bicer said when it comes to malware there are some 200+ new keyboard loggers discovered every day. On top of that, there are 1500 new viruses found every day.
Many Wireless providers such as Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T are missing the boat. They do not seem to realize that content is everything. One company that does get it is Apple. There is a lot of speculation on where Apple will head next. Android has a bigger market share, but Apple is more profitable. Apple's move into the lower end of the market with some models of the iPhone are seen as attacking both the lower end of the market and going after international markets where Android is strong.
Hank Mondaca of Sonic Mobile one of the Pioneers of Mobile Marketing gave a great presentation on state of the art mobile marketing. It is all about engagement with your customers in a way that they want to be connected with. There are now some 3 Billion Mobile Devices, so you can reach roughly half of the global population through mobile messaging. Hank Mondaca spoke out strongly against SPAM messages. His advice to Mobile Marketers is to get permission and keep your message relevant to your customers needs.
Health care is needs to stop trying to solve today's problems with 30 year old tech. The Healthcare world still puts a premium on the Doctors time yet ignores the line a patients waiting in the waiting room.
Mobile & internet infrastructure is in its infancy.
Mobile Trends are moving at 90 miles an hour with your hair on fire!
iBeacon hyper-local Bluetooth emitter that pushes a promotion to those who walk in or by a shop or restaurant or it can just say welcome back Phil!
Nomophpobia…. Fear of not having access to your mobile device.
According to one study a people noticed that they lost their cell phone on average in 58 min, for a lost wallet it took on average 3 hours to be noticed.
The Keynote Speaker was from Qualcomm focused on The Internet of things. They felt that the key is to tie together the fragmented verticals who make the devices. The goal is to bring the internet of things into our homes via Wi-Fi and using our power outlets to connect the devices. This has been tried before…without success. It seems that home automation is always 5 years away from being big, and 5 years from now, it will still be just 5 years away from being big. Sorry I am a pessimist about this it is based on my past industry experience with this type of product. The technical issues of communicating via power lines have not been addressed, power lines were never intended to carry data electrical power is noisy and dirty relative to data lines. Even if those obstacles can be overcome, consumers have not flocked to home automation in the past. Just remember all those VCRs flashing 12:00….
This great conference shows that Tech is thriving here in Orange County, CA. I learned a lot about real world ways to market products & services via mobile platforms. There is no question that mobile devices will continue to change our lives often in un-expected ways. I am looking forward to the bright future of new disruptive technology in the mobile arena and I expect to learn about it first at the next OC Mobile Conference 2015.

Q: How to override bitbake file conflicts Working on a couple of recipe's that have file conflicts with base packages.I am trying to figure out how to force override the conflicts. In particular I am overwriting the /etc/network/interfaces file with a custom one within my recipe. How do I tell bitbake that the file(s) in my package are to take precedence over the file(s) from the base packages?
I am using RPM as the package management subsystem with in the build environment.
Running transaction test
Error: Transaction check error:
  file /etc/network/interfaces conflicts between attempted installs of router-1.0-r0.noarch and init-ifupdown-1.0-r7.qemuarm64
  file /etc/udhcpc.d/50default conflicts between attempted installs of router-1.0-r0.noarch and busybox-udhcpc-1.24.1-r0.aarch64

A: You can't. Either don't install one of the packages in the conflict or override the original recipe's file with a bbappend.

By Doris Olang'o, 24, a volunteer with Resurge Children East Africa. She lives in Kisumu, Kenya. Please read her article and leave your thoughts and comments below.
"You have to understand that no one puts their children on a boat unless the water is safer than the land". These words were spoken by none other than Warsan Shire, a gifted poet and writer whose works mainly touch on the issues of refugees, immigration and war.
Literally, the meaning is quite clear. No one would expose their children to the dangers of the sea unless it is much safer than the land. I usually have great imagination and so as I read this I imagined children on a boat in a sea with strong tides and waves. I am not a parent but this is something I certainly wouldn't do unless it is really the only way out. We are left to imagine how dangerous the land must be for a parent to resort to this risky and seemingly desperate measure.
These words are found in Warsan`s poem, 'Home', which is sort of a lament of an asylum seeker on why she and her people had to escape from their home country. In the immediate context, the poet`s intention is to bring to attention that asylum seekers don't choose to be in the situation they are in. By saying these words, she wants us to understand that it is not the wish of refugees all over the world to leave their home in the first place but they were forced to due to the dangerous and life-threatening circumstances. We are made to understand that the narrator, who is a refugee longs to go back home but that is impossible as danger lurks there. Her home, like the mouth of a shark, will destroy and devour her. She narrates to us the suffering and tortures that victims of war go through such as having to feed on newspapers due to starvation and being harassed. Had their homes been safe, they would not be living in refugee camps with little or no access to basic needs, having to survive on nothing but donations and be at the mercy of well-wishers, charity organizations and foreign governments. Yet they would rather endure all these as what awaits them back at home is much worse. It is better to be alive and living in lack than wait to be hacked to death. It is far much better to keep your pride aside and beg for food from your neighbor for your children than to watch them starve to death at home. In these camps, there is little or no education available, health and sanitary conditions are pathetic.
When I first came across these words, I didn't know they belonged to a poem about the plight of asylum seekers but I could relate with them. Think of the land as your comfort zone or something you love and the water as opposite. The truth is many people are in situations they would rather not be in if they had other options. They are in the water only because the land is not an alternative anymore. As human beings we make decisions that are in our best interests as well as of those we love when caught in such tough and daring situations and when our 'lands' are burning and getting destroyed, we will run to our 'safer waters'. Chances are you have been in such situations before, where you had to choose between the raging and risky sea and the much more dangerous warring land. We have all been there before.
News about Africans attempting to get into Europe through the Mediterranean Sea in search for greener pastures has become a norm. We hear about young girls who ran away from their homes to escape early and forced marriages and young men who commit petty crimes because they prefer to live in prisons where the get food and shelter. But have you ever asked yourself what drives people to make such decisions? Many would not be doing the things they are doing if things were better for them.
I am not saying all actions should be supported. For example, I would not advocate for taking away one`s own precious life, no matter the situation. It is easy for us to look down on, blame, judge, discriminate or even get angry and hostile to people who we feel are responsible for their situations. This shouldn't be the case. Let us open our arms wide, accept, be supportive of people and help where we can. Harper Lee said that you never really understand a person until you consider things from his or her point of view. How right she was.
The refugee experience is encapsulated in her poem: We came here to find refuge-they called us refugees, so we hid ourselves in their language until we sounded just like them. Changed the way we dressed to look just like them, Made this our home until we lived just like them. We all long to stay at home and even if circumstances dictates how you want to change and hid in others, you will never forget home, your perfect peace and comfort.

October 23: Yukon Cornelius considers traditions with the Gryphon
December 10, 2022 December 13, 2022 jstueart
Everyone thought she was part of Dragon Con—this 50 ft tall Gryphon that wandered into the Atlanta Marriott Atrium. Something animatronic. Something amazing. But definitely something there for a photoshoot. I found her surrounded by Jedis and Sith. I was on my way to get my Captain Kirk cosplay. Bumble, dressed as a Mugato, was waiting for me at a panel on the "Art of Charles Vess." How did she even get into the conference center? She was about to attack people with colored swords aimed at her. So, I did what I do in these situations: I ran up, waving my arms, and yelled louder than anyone else.
She saw me. I told all the Force-Users to back up slowly and exit farther into the connected hotel. I told them not to get security involved. But then I saw five security men stood staring at the Gryphon. I waved and yelled at them too. She snatched my shirt with her beak and lifted me up as I told the security officers not to shoot. And then she sat down and put me in between her front talons, and began to bellow, "I have searched for you!" she cried. "Across the Himalayas, the Caucasus, the Alps, the vast ocean, to find you here— finally— in your castle fortress!" She looked around the conference center at all the Jedis and Siths, "Filled with your monks." Her eagle eyes came back to me, resting between her paws. "You must help me."
Her name was Mela. She had lost her mate several years ago, she said, and had relegated herself to a life alone, as was the way of Gryphons. She had resisted searching for another. She was content to fly above her mountains and sing her mourning songs in the hollowed aerie at the top of the craggy reach. Until, that is, she wasn't content. "I can't—I can't stay alone," she said. It happened to her over the years that she wanted to try again—with someone new. But then she would think about her traditions and about what made her a regal Gryphon and that this was part of her too—that she must live the rest of her life—which could be hundreds of years still–alone. She sobbed. "I don't know what will become of me if I break the very solemn oaths and vows I gave my mate, my mother, my father, myself. But I also don't know what will become of me if I don't." She had taken up sculpting rock as a way to keep her mind off her loneliness. Now, in her aerie, were twenty three stone gryphons carved into the rock of the mountain, looking at her, watching her, and, she felt, waiting for her to die.
A crowd had gathered around us, a crowd Mela ignored very easily, but which I was very aware of. Hundreds on the main floor of the lobby at the base of the atrium sat on the floor in their costumes. Hundreds more were standing and watching us. I looked around and I saw my beautiful Mugato, with his one rhinoceros horn directly above his eyes. He signed to me, Are you okay? I nodded.
"It's your decision," I told her, touching her talon. "But which one can you live with for a hundred years? Can you live with not being a perfect traditional Gryphon?" She shook her head, "I don't know. I've never been anything else. I wouldn't know how to be anything else?" I shook my head. "I wouldn't know what to expect from a traditional gryphon—you get to tell me. All I know is that I'm in awe of the first gryphon I've ever met, and she wants to be something different—or she wouldn't be here." Her eyes widened and watered. She said, "I'm different, yes. I'm a disgrace."
I assured her she wasn't. Then, a rebel fighter pilot stood up and told her about starting over at 53, leaving his job which was killing him, and the town his parents lived in, and starting a new life far away in Durango Colorado, in the mountains, working with horses. Two Spider-Women stood up, cradling each other's hands, and told about meeting each other at Dragon Con years ago, and how it changed their whole lives. They realized they couldn't be the people their parents wanted them to be anymore, or their churches—and that their relationship revealed to them who they were, and they liked that change. "But it hurt and it was scary," they said. Others around them agreed. A Groot and an Incredible Hulk talked about moving across the country to be with each other. Princess Leia talked about divorce. Scarlet Witch took up pottery after her husband died, but she also joined a salsa dancing group because she needed both, and this upset her family. A Wonder Woman from the Middle East said that coming to Dragon Con and wearing this costume was violating her traditions, her faith, her family. "I couldn't live under those restrictions any more," she said. "But I kept the part of my traditions and my faith that I still believed in." Voice after voice, witness after witness, this sudden panel on Breaking Traditions had a thousand panelists and an audience of one.
I said to Mela, "Perhaps carving twenty three gryphons into your home walls was you trying to tell yourself to find someone. You were crafting the perfect mate." She thought about that. "But what if I search the world," she asked all of us, "and I don't find another one like me?"
The Mugato I loved now stood next to her talons and took off his rhinoceros horn and his mask. And he was just the Abominable Snowmonster now, and he smiled at her. He pointed to me, in his way asking if he could join me inside the talons. "He's with me," I said to her. She opened her talons. I said, "I live with him. We are mates. He makes me happy." I told her, taking Bumble's big hand. "It doesn't take an exact match to help with loneliness." He sat behind me now his arms completely around my chest, his nearly 8-foot frame and thick body dwarfing my 5'10 ½ size, and I felt warm and safe inside his arms, the first of three nesting circles made up of his arms, her talons, and the circle of the souls of Dragon Con. I winked up at her. "You might expand your search a bit. Find someone who isn't like you because you …. are becoming something new." She sighed, but it wasn't a sad sigh, or a resigned sigh, but a resolved sigh. She looked around the atrium at the thousands of people listening. She looked back at me and Bumble. I said, "Tell me, Mela, have you been to Alexandria, Egypt? There's a big outdoor night club there now with a DJ about your size." She said, "My size?" I said, "Have you ever heard of — The Sphinx?"

Q: Showing $\mbox{Hom}_{\mathbb{Z}}(\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z},A)$ is isomorphic to the annihilator of $(n)$? I'm an undergrad going into my third year, and I'm studying module theory and field theory this summer out of Dummit and Foote, as I'm working to fill in the gaps of my algebra knowledge so that I can attempt some graduate-level courses next year.
This is Exercise 10.2.4, and in the first part, it asks you to prove that for  $\mathbb{Z}$-modules $A$ and $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$, $\varphi_{a}\colon \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}\to A$ such that $$\varphi_{a}(\overline{k})=ka$$ is a well-defined module homomorphism if and only if $na=0$. I did this, and now it's asking me to prove that the group of $\mathbb{Z}$-module homomorphisms from $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ to $A$ is isomorphic to the set $A_{n}=\{a\in A\,|\,na=0\}$, namely the annihilator of the ideal $(n)$ in $\mathbb{Z}$. I'm stuck on this part, and I'm guessing that the desired isomorphism is $\gamma\colon A_{n}\to \mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ such that $$\gamma(a)=\varphi_{a}$$ as defined earlier, but I'm having a hard time proving that the function is surjective, namely that every module homomorphism from $\mathbb{Z}/n\mathbb{Z}$ to $A$ is of the form $\phi_{a}$. Any suggestions or hints? Furthermore, is this a property of $\mathbb{Z}$, or is it true in general for rings as modules over themselves?
Finally, I've been having a hard time going through this material, because it doesn't feel like I'm understanding the utility of modules other than as a generalization of vector spaces to rings. Are there any other sources that you would recommend to get a more motivated treatment of modules? I've heard some good things about Jacobson's Basic Algebra I, would that be too difficult for me right now? Thanks so much for your help!

A: I believe that you'll be able to solve this using Prof Conant's hint. I'll comment on generalizations and books.
Note that what you're proving is already pretty general, since any module over any ring is a $\mathbf{Z}$-module. I like to think that this is true because into each ring there is a unique ring homomorphism from $\mathbf{Z}$.
A more general statement: Let $A$ be a ring, and let $M$ be a left $A$-module. For each $a \in A$, let $M(a)$ be the set of $x \in M$ such that $ax = 0$. If we assume now that $A$ is commutative, then $M(a)$ is a submodule of $M$ and I claim that $M(a)$ and $\operatorname{Hom}_A(A/(a), M)$ are isomorphic $A$-modules. The proof is nearly identical to the one in your case. If $A$ is not commutative, then I think we can identify these two objects as mere abelian groups.
As for books, they are always going to be a very personal matter. I've heard good things about this book of Jacobson's, and you're certainly capable of reading it if you can follow Dummit & Foote. As for motivation, many books apply the structure theorem for modules over principal rings to modules like $\mathbf{C}[X]$ in order to obtain the Jordan normal form. But this end can be reached without ever mentioning modules, so perhaps that isn't good enough. On the other hand, once you know the basics of algebra, you are not so far from beautiful theorems in algebraic number theory, algebraic geometry, and representation theory. All three rest atop the theory of modules.
If I find time later, I'll mention some undergraduate introductions to the first two subjects (I haven't seen an undergraduate representation theory book).

Spider-Man's Stan Lee Cameo Revealed?
01-20-11 • Comics, Film Posted by NickBungay
Stan Lee has had a cameo in almost everything Marvel has released to the public masses. From his first cameo in the Hulk TV movie The Trial of the Incredible Hulk to his recent cameo in the upcoming Thor movie. You can't watch a Marvel movie with seeing Stan 'The Man' Lee, he's like the ex-girlfriend of the comic book universe, everywhere you'd least expect. Now he has one more cameo notch to add for his ever expanding belt of 10 second appearances with the upcoming Spider-man reboot.
What will Stan be this time?
Nukethefridge.com said they have a good source that revealed Stan's cameo for the Marc Webb directed film.
Here's their statement:
A very good source has given Nuked the Fridge details on Stan lee's cameo in the "Spider-Man" reboot.
"The Lizard and Spider-Man will be involved in a huge battle inside a school library. Stan Lee is a librarian fixing up the books."
Ok, Lee as a librarian, that's understandable for what he's done. Since this is all hearsay however, their has been no official statement on Lee's participation in the project.
What do you think? Truth or faker then Emma Stone's hair?
Spider-man is scheduled to be released in 3-D on July 3, 2012.

They don't make 'em like they used to...Hawaii Five-O.
Jack Lord (as Steve McGarrett) was the coolest guy on the planet. Each episode built up to the inevitable climax where McGarrett would say "Book 'em Danno" - the Five-O team always got their man. Classic television - one of my favourites of all time.

Nimbus Just Released The World's Largest Capacity Hard Drive – 100TB
A month ago there were reports that Samsung was already mass producing a 30TB SSD after that a 60TB SSD was announced by Seagate but it has not materialized. A few days ago, Nimbus Data announced an SSD of 100 TB, which breaks the previous storage record.
Nimbus Data ExaDrive DC100
The Nimbus Data ExaDrive DC100, is already starting to reach customers of the company. Its availability is also very close, as the company has said that it will start to be available in the market. To build this capacity, the company used NAND 3D MLC memories manufactured by SK Hynix (probably 64 layers, although they haven't confirmed this), as well as being a 3.5-inch unit.
This capacity allows to you store up to 20,000 HD movies, and has sequential read and write speeds of 500 MB/s when using SATA interface, as well as 100,000 IOPS.
The unit uses up 10 watts at rest and 14 watts in operation, something similar to what a high-performance hard drive consumes
The industry will be using more and more NAND Flash memories
According to the company, in 2017, 40 million 3.5-inch hard drives were sold, totalling 250 million TB. Looking ahead to 2021, 10% of the new storage that is sold will make a transition to SSD with NAND Flash memories
In addition to the 100 TB unit, the company will also market a 50 TB version. Its warranty is 5 years, with a guaranteed durability of at least 2.5 million hours. Its price will not be cheap, and although the company has not announced what it will be, It may not cost below $25,000.
It is surprising the company has announced that this unit will be available this year , since the South Korean giant Samsung had stated that until the year 2020 we would not have SSD units of 100 TB.
Nimbus just made Samsung eat their own words.

If you talk to any fan of Game of Thrones books, it is likely that the delay in completing the next book, Winds of Winter, will be mentioned. Author George RR Martin has been releasing the book for more than 10 years ago, much to the chagrin of fans eager to read the book. Westeros' next chapter of the world.
However, according to some discerning fans, the release may be closer than we think. Fans have put together some clues that suggest the release of an upcoming book soon. The first clue is on George RR Martin's website in the "upcoming publications" section.
The page has a notice that encourages fans to check the site for future releases. It's a pretty typical message but didn't exist until a few days ago, suggesting a near future update.
In addition, the book website thewindsofwinter.com has recently changed ownership, according to one user. on twitter. The site has been inactive for years, giving yet another indication that the book may be imminent. Winds of Winter will be the penultimate book in the series.
House of The Dragon is the next series based on the world of Westeros
However, fans of the Game of Thrones television series have the upcoming House of The Dragon to look forward to. This series will be based on the Targaryen Dynasty and its narrative will occur about 300 years before the events of the main series, before Daenerys and Jon Snow.
The series will be produced by HBO so we can count on the same atmosphere and quality of production that achieved so much in Game of Thrones. The origins of the Targaryen family and their dragons will be revealed during the series.
The desired arrival of Red Dead Redemption 2 on the PC came last month and was made available through the Rockstar and Epic Games store. However, the problems were many and the players were extremely frustrated.
Now the game is also available on Steam, giving the millions of players a glimmer of hope. However, Rockstar has clearly not learned from their mistakes and the players are furious.
Steam release brought even more trouble for Red Dead Redemption 2
Everyone expected the arrival of RDR 2 on Steam to happen smoothly and with the vast majority of previous problems resolved. However, besides that it did not happen, this release has caused even more problems.
As with so many other games, despite being available on Steam, Red Dead Redemption 2 remains released by launcher Rockstar. Many users have seen their Steam account associated with a Rockstar Social Club account to which they no longer have access.
Once this connection is made, you will only be able to play RDR 2 if you can win. access to your old account. Even worse, you'll have even more problems if you eventually block access to your account by trying to find your old password.
Unlike in the Epic Games and Rockstar store, the Steam platform offers the ability to comment on any available game. So, with this big "wave" of trouble, a flood of negative comments has also come.
Many users are complaining about various issues with launcher of the game, which for one reason or another, simply is not able to start Red Dead Redemption 2. Apparently, a possible solution to this problem is to turn off the computer command by turning it on just after the game is released.
Rockstar is trying to solve all problems
Since the release of Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC that Rockstar has been working hard to try to solve every problem. In fact, the latest update has addressed many of the reported issues as well as the desired performance improvements.
Still, this second release made it very clear that RDR 2 for PC is far from promised. If you are looking forward to trying this game on your PC, I advise you to wait a little longer unless you want to spend this extremely frustrated Christmas with Rockstar.


Apple has just released three new iPhone series, the iPhone XS Max , iPhone XS and iPhone XR. Of the three series introduced, the iPhone XR is the cheapest and the pre-order time is slightly longer than the other two series, namely on October 19, 2018. What are the advantages and how much is the price of this iPhone XR?
The XR iPhone comes with a 6.1-inch Liquid Retina screen with a resolution of 1792 x 828 pixels. Apple claims the All-new Liquid Retia screen is the largest LCD ever used on the iPhone and remains comfortable when one-handed. Because it has left the Home button, the operation of the smartphone is done in a gesture form like the iPhone X.
The iPhone XR screen has several excellent features, such as the Wide color gamut that produces colors like the original, Tap to wake to wake the smartphone with just a touch, and True Tone with six-channel light that can adjust the white balance according to the circumstances.
Apple provides the IP67 feature on the iPhone XR that allows the smartphone to hold dust and water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. In its testing, smartphones were able to survive when doused with coffee drinks, tea and soft drinks.
Because it has removed the fingerprint system again, Apple is perfecting the Face ID in the three latest iPhone series. Not only can it be used to open a smartphone, but to log in and make payments. The Adaptive recognition feature on the Face ID allows the machine to learn the user's face, such as when using a hat, glasses to sunglasses.
The three latest iPhone series are equipped with Apple A12 Bionic chipset which is claimed to be the smartest and powerful in Apple's device. This chipset is equipped with 6 cores, 2 cores made specifically for heavy work and 4 other cores designed to save power for standard work processes. Then for the GPU it comes with 4 cores that can provide 50% faster performance than the A11 Bionic.
If the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max come with a dual-camera module, on this XR iPhone there is only one 12 MP aperture f / 1.8 resolution camera and 7 MP aperture f / 2.2 selfie camera. There are some excellent features presented by Apple, namely Smart HDR that gives more highlights and shadow details, Bokeh to create blur effects, low-light detail , enhanced portrait mode selfie to 4K stereo video recording .
Apple presents three storage options for the iPhone XR, which are 64 GB, 128 GB and 256 GB. As for the color choices there are 6, White, Black, Blue, Yellow, Coral and RED (PRODUCT) RED. The price of 64GB iPhone XR is Rp. 13.3 million , 128 GB Rp. 14 million and 256 GB sold for Rp . 16 million . The pre-order process will begin on October 19, 2018. Is this smartphone officially registered in Indonesia? Let's wait.

Q: I want to divide my row into 1/4 ratio in Flutter I want to divide my row in flutter into 4 columns with the same width. So far, the solution I came up with is this,
   child: Row(
        children: <Widget>[
          Container(
            width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.25,
            decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.greenAccent),
          ),
          Container(
            width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.25,
            decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.yellow),
          ),
          Container(
            width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.25,
            decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.blue),
          ),
          Container(
            width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.25,
            decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.white),
          ),
        ],
      ),

Is there any alternative to this. Also dividing the row into 1/3 ratio would not work in this method.

A: You can use Expanded or Flexible, by default it has flex: 1, and you can change the values depending on your need.
  Row(
    children: [
      Expanded(
        flex: 1, // you can play with this value, by default it is 1
        child: Child1(),
      ),
      Expanded(
        flex: 1,
        child: Child2(),
      ),
      Expanded(
        flex: 1,
        child: Child3(),
      ),
      Expanded(
        flex: 1,
        child: Child4(),
      ),
    ],
  );

A: You can achieve this by using an Expanded Widget
Check the code below:
It works perfectly well.

1) For 1/3 ratio

Row(
      children: <Widget>[
        Expanded(
          flex: 1,
          child: Container(
            width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.25,
            decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.greenAccent),
          ),
        ),
        Expanded(
          flex: 1,
          child: Container(
            width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.25,
            decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.yellow),
          ),
        ),
        Expanded(
          flex: 1,
          child: Container(
            width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.25,
            decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.blue),
          ),
        ),
      ],
    ),

1) For 1/4 ratio

Row(
      children: <Widget>[
        Expanded(
          flex: 1,
          child: Container(
            width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.25,
            decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.greenAccent),
          ),
        ),
        Expanded(
          flex: 1,
          child: Container(
            width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.25,
            decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.yellow),
          ),
        ),
        Expanded(
          flex: 1,
          child: Container(
            width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.25,
            decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.blue),
          ),
        ),
        Expanded(
          flex: 1,
          child: Container(
            width: MediaQuery.of(context).size.width * 0.25,
            decoration: BoxDecoration(color: Colors.white),
          ),
        ),
      ],
    ),

See output below:

I hope this answers your questions.

A: As it's not mentioned in the above solutions. Flex is the proportion to be occupied in the available widget. If you're using 2 Expanded widgets one with flex 1 and the other with flex 3 then available space will be occupied as 1/4 by the first Expanded widget and 3/4 by the other.


Milwaukee's Field Report has released a new seasonal track titled On Christmas Eve.
Watch a brilliant video from Field Report to accompany their track I Am Not Waiting Anymore, Crushed Beak's new video for their track Breakdown, and Esmé Patterson's video for My Young Man featuring another MM fave in Nathaniel Rateliff. Finally we have the soaring indie-pop of Scottish six piece The Maginot Band and their new video for recent single Sombre Fayre.
So then, half way through the year already. Time to take stock and see what the first six months have delivered up in terms of new tunes and bands. We asked some of the regular MM contributors to pick three songs that have particularly struck a chord (sorry) with them in the first part of 2012.
Download The Alabama Shakes – Hang Loose (Hear Ya Session) mp3 (from Hear Ya Session) Grab whole session from Hear Ya here.
Download First Aid Kit – The Lion's Roar mp3 (from The Lion's Roar) Taken down under DMCA notice due to some retarded fuckwit not knowing the song was given away as a free download everywhere. Contact us first you muppet and we'll show you the authorisation we have to post. Anyway, you can get it via Soundcloud instead.
Thanks to Mrs Mackerel (Mrs M), Christy-Popper (CP), Polly Pocket (PP), Barry-Sean (BS-F) and Dr. Roddy (Dr R) for their selections. Why not tell us whose choices you like best?
Here is our cherry picked selection of our favourite downloads from March for you, together with a few new tracks to create a perfect end-of-month mix. Enjoy.
Another cheery tale of death, sparsely plucked and whispered, and coming across like a Strange Fruit for the modern day.
And to finish off we have a breezy new track of indie rock from Maps & Atlases new album, we have the frenetic bank robbing fantasy of Baby Baby's Nothing To Lose and a welcome return from veteran catchy psych-rockers The Dandy Warhols. Finally, two tracks from Field Report's much acclaimed and anticipated self-titled debut of fragile, heartfelt folk.

51st Anniversary of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital - Our Charity!!
St. Jude On February 4, 1962, Danny Thomas opened the doors of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, forever changing the way the world would treat pediatric cancer.
It was the culmination of more than 10 years of work by Danny and his friends and supporters. As a struggling entertainer, Danny had prayed to Saint Jude Thaddeus, the patron saint of hopeless causes, asking him to "show me my way in life." Danny had vowed to build a shrine in honor of the saint if his prayer was answered.
With his prayer answered and his vow fulfilled, Danny challenged the medical staff of the newly opened hospital to make his dream that "no child should die in the dawn of life" a reality. He tasked them with finding the cures for these life-threatening diseases and asked the American public to support the hospital so no family would ever pay for their child's care.


When 911 Goes Down | MATRIX Resources, Inc.
When a natural disaster required a large communications customer of MATRIX to meet new federal resiliency standards on deadline, a plan that leveraged the use of expert consultants helped to successfully achieve all project commitments ahead of schedule.
This successful partnering story traces its roots to a June 2012 fast-moving storm that packed straight-line winds up to 90 miles per hour and caused massive damage in 11 Great Lakes and Mid-Atlantic States, plus Washington, D.C.
The 700-mile-long storm, known as a derecho, knocked down trees, power lines and emergency response systems. The derecho (Spanish for straight) also severely impacted much of the nation's electrical and communications system.
In parts of Virginia alone, an estimated 2.3 million people lost access to 911 emergency services for up to four days following the storm as public safety answering points (PSAPS) that handle 911 calls failed.
Due to the significant impact of the derecho, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) conducted a major investigation into the resiliency and reliability of public communications networks. In its Derecho Impact Report issued in 2013, the FCC established aggressive goals to strengthen the communications networks and prevent a reoccurrence of this event.
"I'm always in awe of nature, and a derecho storm can be unbelievably powerful," said MATRIX Telecom Services President Kenny Edgerton.
The aggressive mandate led the large communication provider to turn to MATRIX for professional services assistance in order to meet the FCC deadlines, all the while making sure regularly scheduled work projects would also be completed.
Edgerton heard from the customer about how the FCC requirements -- atop existing work projects -- would require outside support to complete all existing projects plus the compressed timelines of the FCC's e911 trunk diversification project.
Assessing the situation, Edgerton knew MATRIX would need to assemble a team of consultants who were very familiar with operations support systems that serve as an inventory and design tool for many of the nation's largest communications providers. Initially, in March 2015, MATRIX transitioned the services of 10 existing experienced consultants for the project. Each was already outfitted with MATRIX computer equipment and credentials so they could access the unique operations support systems needed to establish redundant communication paths.
Since each PSAP had its own individualized circuit paths, all the circuits had to be split between unique paths to establish diverse routes for backup purposes. Each MATRIX consultant was provided a specific starting and end point, and then used the tools provided by MATRIX and the customer to create new diverse paths to allow data and voice traffic to move along each circuit along unique routes.
However, once the work began, Edgerton and his colleagues analyzed the production rate and believed the team would be hard pressed to meet the FCC's first mandated deadline if no additional staffing was added. That's when five more consultants with 911 network design knowledge were added to the team in April.
The MATRIX team is wrapping up the last remaining PSAPS to help the customer complete the final 2016 requirements, months ahead of schedule.
