In 2010 the Mazda6 entered a new phase of Mazda's Zoom-Zoom evolution program. The vehicle from the CD-segment received a facelift including a sportier front fascia, improved safety and environmental performance.
For the 2010 facelift, its exterior design received newly-designed headlamps and an upper grille with a new winged Mazda logo that is black on all grades and body-coloured on the Sports Grade. The lines running up from the grille between the fenders and the bonnet are also a new feature of the Mazda6.
The changes continue in the back where the rear combination lamps show chrome-plated winged decorations, which make the lamps look wider and seem to lower even further into the side panels. 17- and 18-inch aluminium wheel designs are also part of the facelifted Mazda6.
Mazda6 customers are able to choose from a range of three petrol and three diesel powertrains. In the petrol range the MZR 2.0 DISI petrol had its world debut. This more fuel-efficient, livelier and faster engine replaced the mid-sized petrol engine of the original model. Featuring high-revving direct-injection the powertrain delivers an output of 155 PS at 6,200 rpm and 193 of torque at 4,500 rpm. The engine can be combined with a six-speed manual transmission or a new five-speed Activematic automatic gearbox with manual shift mode. The petrol range is completed with the MZR 2.5 and the MZR 1.8 engines.
The diesel range includes three derivatives of Mazda's MZR-CD 2.2 turbo-diesel engine. They are all Euro V compliant and built with reduced thermal capacity exhaust manifolds and joint pipes, allowing for quicker cold-start heat up of the catalyst and lower overall CO 2 emissions.
The Mazda6 is available in three different body types: hatchback, sedan and estate.

Hannah Kerr impacts radio with new single 'Split the Sea'
Wed, Jan 23rd 2019 05:40 pm
Black River Christian artist/songwriter Hannah Kerr's newest single, "Split the Sea," is at Christian radio now after being one of the most added singles on add date. "Split the Sea" can be heard on many stations nationwide. In addition, the lyric video exclusively debuted at CBN online.
Now playing on many of top digital playlists, including Amazon Music's Fresh Christian, Apple Music's The A-List Christian, Spotify's Top Christian and YouTube Music's Christian Music Hotlist, the song is co-written by Kerr, Blake NeeSmith, Jeff Pardo and produced by Mark Miller.
"I wrote 'Split the Sea' in a time when I needed to be reminded that God is who he says he is," Kerr shared. "I needed to surrender my situation to him and know that he can do far more than I can even imagine. When we trust in the Lord's plan as the Israelites did in Exodus 14, we just might be able to see him part the waters in our own lives. He always makes a way for us, and 'Split the Sea' is my declaration of that truth."
The new single comes on the heels of Kerr's first full-length Christmas album, "Christmas Eve in Bethlehem." The successful release yielded performances on the CBN's "700 Club," while its breakout song, "Winter Wonderland" earned a position on Spotify's Christmas Hits playlist (nearing 7 million streams globally, ultimately becoming a top 20 hit at Christian radio).
While wrapping her final year of college, Kerr is also in the studio writing and recording for an upcoming project.
About Hannah Kerr
Kerr began touring in 2016 and shared the stage with major Christian artists including Casting Crowns, Matt Maher, Building 429, Jonny Diaz, Matt Hammitt, as well as for KING & COUNTRY, Newsboys and Kari Jobe. Her debut album, "Overflow," which was produced by Sawyer Brown's lead singer and Casting Crowns' producer Miller, has earned more than 20 million streams and features the top 5 hit co-written by Kerr and recorded by Matt Maher, "Your Love Defends Me"; her top 15 radio hit, "Warrior"; and the top 25 hit "Radiate." Kerr was recently given the Most Performed Song Award at the 2018 ASCAP Christian Awards for "Your Love Defends Me."
Kerr has been named the 1st Ambassador for Youth For Tomorrow's Jodi McQueen Therapeutic Music & Arts Center and "YFT Heart Beats" campaign.
Kerr began publicly singing at the age of 5 in her hometown church in Buffalo. Even though she grew up in a musical family, she never aspired to become a singer. Eventually, Kerr's family moved to Nashville when she was a teenager. She started approaching her musical talents with the heart of a worshipper, and began songwriting and performing. One of her recordings caught Miller's ear, and he affirmed her calling for a music ministry.

1992: A 500 In The Rain & No Traction, & Little Control
Here's some wonderful footage of Mick Doohan and Jeremy Burgess from the old Rothman's Honda days. The clip dates from the 1992 Suzuka Japanese GP, the year that Honda introduced a big bang version of the NSR 500, which enabled Doohan to become a dominant force in the early part of the season. Later that year came Doohan's huge crash at Assen, a getoff that nearly cost Doohan his leg, and certainly the 1992 championship.
The 5 time 500cc GP Champion looks jovial and vibrant in the footage, a stark contrast to his later, post-injury years of championship domination. Mick does get baulked during practice, and throws the offender a withering look before accelerating away – Jeremy Burgess's take on Doohan (and riders in general) is very diplomatic – "they are pretty highly strung people, and they do get excited….."
Also of interest are segments from the rain soaked season opener at Suzuka. Mastering a 500cc GP bike in the wet there required genius and cajones; Doohan had all three in spades, yet almost didn't qualify due to bad luck and timing. With walls so close to much of the track, Suzuka was a place where you didn't want to make any mistakes. Doohan's teammate Wayne Garder had a crash in the race, causing a leg injury which ensured his retirement from GP racing later that year.
No traction control, a razor's edge two stroke powerband, and 1992 tire technology – surely, this was a time of heroes.

Greensboro - Transportation officials will celebrate the completion of the McLeansville Road Grade Separation with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, Oct. 25, from 3:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Bethel Church Road T-Intersection in McLeansville.
Transportation Deputy Secretary for Transit Keith Weatherly, Rail Director Paul Worley and others will speak. The department eliminated three street-level railroad crossings by building a highway bridge to carry McLeansville Road over the North Carolina Railroad tracks. The project removes the risk of automobile and train collisions, improves safety for motorists and rail passengers and reduces automobile and train traffic congestion.
The project area had three roads that crossed over the mainline track and siding track - a low-speed track adjacent to the mainline that allows a train to pass another. Trains have had to wait in the siding for more than an hour for other trains to pass. At times, the waiting train blocked all three railroad crossings.

PEDAGOGÍAS GRISES. SUBJETIVIDADES, MILITANCIAS Y SADISMOS EN LA PRODUCCIÓN CULTURAL DEL CONO SUR
Pitetta, Adriana (2016) PEDAGOGÍAS GRISES. SUBJETIVIDADES, MILITANCIAS Y SADISMOS EN LA PRODUCCIÓN CULTURAL DEL CONO SUR. Doctoral Dissertation, University of Pittsburgh. (Unpublished)
Restricted to University of Pittsburgh users only until 13 June 2021.
This dissertation explores how radical militancy and State terrorism in Argentina, Chile and Uruguay in the sixties and seventies are represented in recent fictional and nonfictional films, novels, and testimonies. These texts suggest a revision from the perspective of a younger generation (my own) of the standard representation of political violence in this period as involving a strict logic of victims and victimizers. Central in my account is the idea of "gray zone," coined by Primo Levi, who describes the concentration camp as a site wherein victims and victimizers sometimes interchange roles. I argue that similar processes of subjective transformation occurred among the myriad actors involved in the "Dirty Wars". These processes are what I call, building on Levi's concept, gray pedagogies.
The first chapter, centers on the question of revolutionary militancy. I look at the "Thou shalt not kill" (No Mátaras) debate in Argentina about revolutionary violence and the documentary The Hour of Furnaces (1968) by Pino Solanas and Osvaldo Gettino. In the second chapter I analyze a group of texts centered in the idea of militant women as traitors because of their affective identification with their torturers, through a process of what I call tyrannical sexual pedagogies, specifically La vida doble (2010) by the Chilean Arturo Fontaine, El Infierno (1993) by Luz Arce, and Luisa Valenzuela's novel La travesía (2001). The third chapter highlights the ways in which texts by two younger Arentine artists -- the novel Los Topos (2008), by Félix Bruzzone and Albertina Carri's docu-film Los Rubios (2003)--address the interactions between State terror and revolutionary militancy, emphasizing issues like sexual diversity, racial questions, class or generational differences. This perspective proposes an ironic "queer pedagogy" as an alternative to the standard testimonial representation of victimization and trauma. The last chapter deals with how the societies involved in the periods of state terror "learn" in the process to be a willing, semi-sadistic spectator. My focus here is on the novels París (1980) by the Uruguayan Mario Levrero and Historia del llanto (2007) by Alan Pauls.

Q: Problems involving LOCUS Okay so I'm really having a hard time finding the locus of curves or point of intersection of curves.
The problem : I am able to get the geometrical condition in most of the questions but then I have no idea what to do to get the locus.
The question :A variable straight line drawn through the point of intersection of the straight line $x+2y-4=0$ and $2x+y-4=0$ meet the coordinate axes in $A$ and $B$.Then what is the locus of midpoint of $AB$ ?
My try : I found the equation of the variable straight line as $3x+3y-8=0$,and the required mid-point in the question to be $(4/3,4/3)$.How do I proceed from here ?

A: Th equation of any line passing through the intersection of $$x+2y-4=0,2x+y-4=0$$ is
$$0=x+2y-4+m(2x+y-4)=x(1+2m)+y(2+m)-(4m+4)$$ where $m$ is an arbitrary constant
$$\implies\dfrac x{\dfrac{4m+4}{2m+1}}+\dfrac y{\dfrac{4m+4}{m+2}}=1$$
So, $A:\left(\dfrac{4m+4}{2m+1},0\right)$ and $B;\left(0,\dfrac{4m+4}{m+2}\right)$
Now if $P(h,k)$ is the midpoint,
we have $$h=\dfrac{\dfrac{4m+4}{2m+1}+0}2\iff m=?$$
$$k=\dfrac{0+\dfrac{4m+4}{m+2}}2\iff m=?$$
Equate the values of $m$ to eliminate $m,$ the variable we have introduced.
Can you take it from here?

A: Let $M(a,b)$ be a point on our locus and $C\left(\frac{4}{3},\frac{4}{3}\right)$.
Thus, $$m_{MC}=\frac{b-\frac{4}{3}}{a-\frac{4}{3}}$$ and we have an equation of $AM$:
$$y-\frac{4}{3}=\frac{b-\frac{4}{3}}{a-\frac{4}{3}}\left(x-\frac{4}{3}\right),$$
which for $x=0$ gives
$$y=\frac{4}{3}-\frac{4}{3}\cdot\frac{b-\frac{4}{3}}{a-\frac{4}{3}}$$ and it gives an equation of the locus:
$$\frac{\frac{4}{3}-\frac{4}{3}\cdot\frac{b-\frac{4}{3}}{a-\frac{4}{3}}+0}{2}=b$$ or
$$b=\frac{2a}{3a-2}$$ or
$$y=\frac{2x}{3x-2}.$$

A: if the variable straight goes through $$P(4/3;4/3)$$ then we get
$$y=mx-\frac{4}{3}m+\frac{4}{3}$$ now we can calculate the intersection Points with the axis:
$$x=0$$ then $$y=\frac{4}{3}(1-m)$$
$$y=0$$ then $$x=\frac{-\frac{4}{3}+\frac{4}{3}m}{m}$$
can you finish?
the coordintaes of the midpoint is given by $$M\left(\frac{-\frac{4}{3}+\frac{4}{3}m}{2m};\frac{\frac{4}{3}-\frac{4}{3}m}{2}\right)$$
eliminating we get $$-3xy+2x+2y=0$$

History & Marketing Strategies of 5 Star Brand
Company: 5 star
Founded by: Cadbury
5 star chocolate was launched by Cadbury in India during the year 1969. It is a chocolate bar made with a delicious mix of smooth chocolate, caramel and nougat. Its pack is also distinctively decorated with a golden wrapper and five stars indicating the name of the popular chocolate.
There are different varieties of the chocolate available in the Indian market – some of the popular ones are Crunchy, Fruit and Nut, 5 Star 3D and Chomp.
The popular 5 Star Chocolate brand launched by Cadbury in India has successfully completed five decades of its existence in the country. Emboldened by its consistent performance, the current owners, Mondelez International, has even decided to make the brand international by launching it in other countries.
Cadbury, the company who launched the 5 star chocolate in the 1960s, has always occupied a premier position worldwide in the chocolate and confectioneries category. Holder of multiple Royal Warrants from the Queen of England, Cadbury was established by John Cadbury in 1824. He was a tea, coffee and drinking chocolate seller plying his wares at the Bull Street in Birmingham, United Kingdom.
His business proved quite profitable, so he up-scaled his investment and established a factory in Bridge Street to produce a variety of cocoa and chocolate drinks.
His company primarily catered to the affluent section of the society, as the cost of production was quite high. John's brother Benjamin also joined the business in 1847 and in 1849 they displayed their first chocolate bars at a trade fair in Birmingham.
While the credit for making the first ever chocolate bar goes to Cadbury's competitor, Fry, from the city of Bristol, both of them were instrumental in making the currently common product a successful variety of chocolate-based sweet in the market.
The 1990s saw the rapid expansion of Cadbury through a combination of astute leadership and introduction of new innovative products in the chocolate confectionery market. Dairy Milk and Bourneville Cocoa was two of its early products that brought fame and commercial success to the company.
Dairy Milk Chocolate was the first of its kind with a higher proportion of milk as one of its primary ingredients. This was also the first instance of a company mass-producing milk chocolate. In 1919, J. S. Fry and Sons, the main competitor of Cadbury decided to merge, resulting in an amalgamation of many well-known chocolate and confectionery brands.
By the 1930s, chocolate became affordable for most of Britain's population and Cadbury products accounted for the majority of the increased revenues earned with the increased consumption.
Cadbury entered the Indian market in the year 1948 and was initially selling imported chocolates. In the same year, the company was formally incorporated by the newly independent country. Cadbury soon became the premier chocolate and confectionery selling company of India & currently holds over 70% market share in the category. With six manufacturing units in the country and regional offices located at many major Indian cities, Cadbury has established a firm foothold in the country offering several popular brands like Dairy Milk, 5 Star Chocolate, Gems, Eclairs, Bournvita and Oreo among others.
Marketing Strategies and campaigns
The brand is very popular in the country owing to its unique blend of ingredients imparting a distinctive taste to the product along with its attractive price points, making it accessible to all economic categories. 5 star chocolate also works as a loving gift to children and teens because of its attractive packaging and being light on the pocket.
All these traits make the brand one of the longest-running and successful ones being launched and managed by Cadbury in the country. Its popularity has even led the product to be launched in other countries like Brazil, South Africa, Malaysia and Philippines.
Cadbury operates in five major categories in the Indian confectionery market. They are Chocolate Confectionery, Biscuits, Beverages, Candy and Gums. The company has established popular brands in all the mentioned categories with most of them being household names in the country. This was achieved with a clever combination of high-quality yet affordable products and impactful media advertisements. Some notable media advertisement campaigns of the 5 star chocolate brands are discussed below.
Ramesh & Suresh Series
This television advertisement series depicting two brothers – Ramesh & Suresh – getting entangled in different kinds of hilarious settings while "getting lost" in the exquisite taste of 5 star chocolate has created a huge stir among the Indian masses. Since 2006, these ads furthered cause of the already strong 5 star brand & were successful in positioning the product as per the intentions of the management & the requirement of the times.
During the initial years, the brand was focusing on satisfying hunger, the sense of togetherness & the soft chewy taste. Then the brand stayed consistent towards its tagline "jo khaye kho jaye" meaning "one who consumes 5 star gets lost in its taste" for a number of years & projected the same through the hugely popular television commercial series.
"Why So Serious?" Campaign
As a fresh take on the 5 star brand, the "why so serious" advertisement released in 2015 was also quite successful in propagating the message of being happy in one's life. In the commercial, the chocolate bar was offered to the serious 'boss' as a cure by a doctor & everyone around him was having a good laugh at the end.
The brand was successful in propagating the message that seriousness has plagued the lives of Indians in the modern times & uses humor & comedy to offer a "chocolate bar" cure for the malady.
"No Hard Fillings" Internet Advertisement
This campaign was launch on the Internet in 2013, showing the brand's recognition of the digital medium as a powerful promotional tool. In a series of ten humorous videos, different pairs of inanimate objects were shown as initially committing harmful acts on the other & offering 5 star chocolate bars with "no hard fillings".
The sequences are meant to be comical yet putting across the message of friendship & propagating the popular bar a gift to smooth things over. The entire collection is quite impactful & succeeds in tickling the funny bones of the viewers while retaining the high recall value that is a characteristic of all advertisements of the brand.
Thus, 5 star chocolate and its owner brand Cadbury have been successful in India since their launch. For the youth of India, the distinctive 5 Star Chocolate Bar is synonymous with many enjoyable moments spent with friends or family while enjoying the product. Its many variations over the five decades of its existence have proven to be successful and popular, thus adding to the longevity of the brand as a whole.
5 Star Chocolate has become synonymous with the chocolate bar product in India with hardly any competitors, thus ensuring a bright future for the brand.

Sometimes it is just fun to see how the rich and famous live. No, I'm not a Kardashian loyalist. But, when my birthday news alert (yes, I have one of those!) blew up with coverage of a Kardashian birthday party I couldn't resist.
Cousins North (who turns 5 on June 15) and Penelope (6 on July 8) wore matching rainbow-colored robes and swimsuits at the June 3 party Kim shared on Instagram. There were also horses with sparkly manes and rainbow-colored horns!
The theme is popular for parties, so I thought I'd share some great unicorn party touches. Like this one to make Unicorn Poop Slime, which I know several girls in my neighborhood would absolutely love.
Or let everyone wear a unicorn horn headband. Crafty kids could make their own at the party.
You can easily go on Amazon and buy a cake topper that converts a cake into a unicorn.
Or you might make these fondant golden horn cupcake toppers.
Then, there all the games you might play. There's the obvious Pin the Tail on the Unicorn. Or, you could give each partygoer their own Unicorn to ride, as suggested in LollyJane's 17 unicorn party ideas.
There are also videos and tutorials online to make your very own unicorn piñata.
UNICORNS! It's the best of little girl dreams: horses, magic, color, and — if it were my party — sparkle.


Xingping is the oldest town in Yangshuo. It was set up in 265, Three Kingdoms (220-280 A.D.), and used to be Xiping County. It was the center of Yangshuo County until Yangshuo Town was setup in 590. It has been the most important town beside the Li River for over 1700 years.
The scenery from Yangdi to Xingping is the most beautiful part of Li River. In 1974, after one of the Marshals of our country, Ye Jianying, visited Li River, he wrote a poem, which says "Xingping ranks first in Li River." Here you can find the Site of Ancient Xiping, Nine-horse Mural Cliff, Yellow-cloth Reflection, Monk and Nun's Tryst, Ancient Stockaded Village's New Looks, Secluded Qianyuan, Ancient Wusheng Site, Fishing Village, Lotus-flower Cave, Flying-dragon Nunnery and others. The peaks here rise like so many needles, while the rivers are like ribbons.
The Tablet Hill, Five-Finger Hill seems to be floating on the water. Xingping River meanders from east to west into the Li River. The reflection of the trees, bamboos and peaks present a watercolor painting.
Highly recommend you to take a bike ride from Yangshuo to Xingping, stops at the mud brick homes of local farmers, pretty pictures of rice paddies and countryside life.
It is famous for the 108 calcium carbonate stone lotus basins. In the world there are only two countries that have this kind of unique landscape, 8 lotus basins in Yugoslavia and 108 in Xingping, China. The Chinese geologist, Sun Daguang, once visited here and wrote "the Wonder in the World."
It is the most famous village beside Li River. In 1921, Sun Yetsan, the president of the Republic of China, visited this fishing village when he went to Guilin from Wuzhou for the Northern Expedition (1926-1927 A.D.).In 1998, when the former U.S. President Bill Clinton came to China, he could not tear himself away from this fishing village and stayed for one more hour.

Did you know? In 1962, a full 11.5% of federal civil court cases went to trial. However, today, experts state that the percentage of civil cases that reach trial in the Federal Courts has gone down to an estimated 1%.
Like all other human beings, lawyers make mistakes. Sometimes mistakes don't turn out to be that big of a deal, but other times the mistakes bring serious consequences with them.
Your civil rights give you the ability to take legal action against a lawyer in the event of attorney malpractice. In the end, a viable malpractice case will turn on the facts of the case presented. But there are three basic questions you should consider to help determine whether or not an attorney's actions justify an attorney malpractice lawsuit.
Read on to learn more:
Was the lawyer negligent?
When clients review a lawyer's performance in court, they do it with the full benefit of hindsight. In the present, mistakes that could have been reasonable at the time could appear foolhardy now.
But in order to accurately judge an attorney's actions, you must see yourself in their position. Given the context of the situation, including everything the attorney knew about the case at that point, were his actions clearly or likely out of negligence?
It's easy to get upset after witnessing any form of professional malpractice, and attorneys are no exception. However, it's important to remember that few attorneys you find to represent you in court will be the greatest in the world. Rather, lawyers must ordinarily act in a way that's consistent with the community standard of care. And while an attorney's mistakes may be annoying or cause trouble, not every mistake becomes a breach in the duty of care.
Once you can accurately say that the attorney was most likely acting out of negligence, you can proceed to the next question.
Did the attorney's mistake cause damage?
In an attorney malpractice case, this is typically where the rubber meets the road.
Even if your lawyer made a painfully obvious mistake, if you experienced no real injuries as a result, you probably can't take an attorney malpractice case to court.
For example, an attorney may make the mistake of failing to file a lawsuit before the statute of limitations expired. Even though this would often be an inexcusable error, the only way it could be a viable attorney malpractice case is if you could prove, with certainty, that you would have won the case if it had gone to court on time. You would also have to prove that you would have won the case, and that the judgement was collectible.
Unless a lawyer was clearly acting out of negligence and their mistake can be proven to have caused you damages, you probably can't take the malpractice case to court successfully. However, if you've verified that the mistake was likely out of true negligence at that measurable damages were definitely caused, move on to the next and final question.
Were the damages caused significant?
This consideration is almost purely practical for the sake of you, the client.
Attorney malpractice cases tend to be very expensive, because you're never just fighting one case. In addition to proving that the lawyer truly breached the standard of care, you also have to prove that the original court case would have been successful to validate the perceived damages. Essentially, you're litigating two cases at once.
Naturally, this leads to a lot of attorney fees for you, the client. You will also need to hire an expert to verify that the lawyer's conduct did indeed fall below the standard of care. So in the end, it might not turn out that the economics of the case are viable. To proceed further, you will need to determine that your case within a case is really worth pursuing from a financial perspective.
Of course, whether or not your lawyer's mistake rises to a level of attorney malpractice will depend on several other considerations. Your legal advisors can help you as you navigate this tricky terrain, but keeping these questions in mind is a great starting point.


I've have a Honeywell 1902 wireless scanner and I work for a large retail company. Because I'm in Canada there is less priority to fixing issue that we have. The UPC library that has been uploaded to my POS doesn't have zeros in front of any number. Unfortunately a large percent of the codes have a zero in front of them on the tags, I know there is some code I can input to fix this but I have no idea how to figure it out.
It does read the zero from the bar code and tells me the item doesn't exist, I end up having to manually type in the number. What's the point of the scanner if it rarely works.
I have a second laptop that doesn't have the POS on it and if I scan anything with its scanner it has no issues with reading the number even if there is a zero in front of it.

Michael Fellman Award Deadline Shifts to November 1
Inaugural prize honours historian's skill at tying current affairs analysis to lessons of the past.
By Tyee Staff and Contributors 12 Sep 2013 | TheTyee.ca
Michael Fellman's writing for The Tyee ranged from U.S. election coverage to unfolding Canadian politics to deconstruction of Clint Eastwood's films. His Tyee work can be found here.
To submit an entry for the Michael Fellman Award send the document attached to an email addressed to editor@thetyee.ca. Subject line should read: Submission for Michael Fellman Award.
Award named for Michael Fellman, a vigourous interpreter of politics and culture for The Tyee and as an SFU historian.
The deadline for submissions for a new, $1,000 writing prize in honour of Michael Fellman has been moved back three months to November 1 in order to allow more time for awareness of the contest to grow.
"We received just a few submissions by the Aug. 1 deadline, and while the quality was high we felt we needed to do more outreach," explained David Beers, editor of The Tyee, which is co-sponsoring the prize with Simon Fraser University's History Department.
Over the past weeks, word about the prize has gone out widely to academic departments, journalistic groups and other arenas for public intellectuals. "This prize is as likely to be won by a scholar or history buff as by a journalist," says Beers. "Perhaps you are sitting on some fascinating research that could be drawn upon to comment insightfully on what we read in today's headlines. The Michael Fellman award is meant to bring more voices into the public conversation."
Fellman was a noted historian and political commentator who taught for 39 years at Simon Fraser University and contributed regularly to the pages of The Tyee and other publications. He died in June 2012.
An expert researcher unafraid to present provocative conclusions, Fellman wrote a number of acclaimed books about the U.S. Civil War and drew on his historical expertise to place in sharp context current day political events in Canada as well as the U.S.
Beyond 'stylized paragons'
In an essay for The Tyee, Fellman summed up his point of view and motivation for writing: "I disbelieve in heroes, searching as I do to understand the motives and actions of human beings rather than to present stylized paragons of good and evil."
The Michael Fellman Award was created to reflect that spirit of public engagement, awarded to a piece of accessible writing that demonstrates bold thought, clear analysis, and rests on well researched historical understanding.
Entries should be no longer than 2,500 words. The winner will be selected by a trio of judges: a Tyee editor, an SFU History Department member, and Michael Fellman's partner Santa Aloi.
The winner will be published on The Tyee and all rights belong to the author.
As The Tyee noted upon Michael Fellman's passing, "Michael was a clear-eyed optimist whose years spent unearthing the grim record of America's internecine guerrilla war did not undermine his fundamental faith in reason and humanity. He said that he chose the Civil War as his recurring focus because its archival sources were so rich -- the last uncensored war, he called it -- and because the racial and economic inequalities so powerfully at work then so evidently had not been resolved by that terrible conflict. The wounds linger even today, and so their origins, believed Michael, were in constant need of honest scrutiny."

Q: React Native Stack & Drawer Navigation v5 I am new to react native and I am trying to create a menu, that would open on click and slide out, and on click outside the menu would slide back in.
It has been very hard for me to find any decent tutorial/explanation about how to have both stack and drawer navigation available for a page and functioning.
currently, my App.js looks like this:
    import 'react-native-gesture-handler';
import React from 'react';
import Home from './app/screens/Home/Home';
import ArtistListing from './app/screens/ArtistListing/ArtistListing';
import ArtPeriods from './app/screens/ArtPeriods/ArtPeriods';
import Login from './app/screens/Login/Login';
import Quiz from './app/screens/Quiz/Quiz';
import GuessWhen from './app/screens/GuessWhen/GuessWhen';
import { NavigationContainer, useLinking } from '@react-navigation/native';
import { createStackNavigator } from '@react-navigation/stack';
import {Auth, Hub} from 'aws-amplify';
import {SetCurrentUser} from './src/model/User';
import LearnMore from './app/screens/LearnMore/LearnMore';
import {CreateAllArtistsWithDependencies} from './src/model/Artists';
import ExploreTimePeriod from './app/screens/ExploreTimePeriod/ExploreTimePeriod';
import ExploreArtist from './app/screens/ExploreArtist/ExploreArtist';
import PhotoGalleryScreen from './app/screens/PhotoGalleryScreen/PhotoGalleryScreen';
import ExploreTimePeriods from './app/screens/ExploreTimePeriods/ExploreTimePeriods';
import ExploreArtists from './app/screens/ExploreArtists/ExploreArtists';
import QuizSummary from './app/screens/QuizSummary/QuizSummary';
import ContactUs from './app/screens/ContactUs/ContactUs';
import Profile from './app/screens/Profile/Profile';
import Favorites from './app/screens/Favorites/Favorites';
const Stack = createStackNavigator();
const App = () => {
  return (
      <NavigationContainer>
          <Stack.Navigator initialRouteName="Login">
              <Stack.Screen name="Home" component={Home} options={{headerShown:false}} />
              <Stack.Screen name="Login" component={Login} options={{headerShown:false}} />
              <Stack.Screen name="ArtistListing" component={ArtistListing} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
              <Stack.Screen name="ArtPeriods" component={ArtPeriods} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
              <Stack.Screen name="GuessWhen" component={GuessWhen} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
              <Stack.Screen name="Quiz" component={Quiz} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
              <Stack.Screen name="LearnMore" component={LearnMore} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
              <Stack.Screen name="ExploreTimePeriod" component={ExploreTimePeriod} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
              <Stack.Screen name="ExploreTimePeriods" component={ExploreTimePeriods} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
              <Stack.Screen name="PhotoGalleryScreen" component={PhotoGalleryScreen} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
              <Stack.Screen name="ExploreArtist" component={ExploreArtist} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
              <Stack.Screen name="ExploreArtists" component={ExploreArtists} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
              <Stack.Screen name="QuizSummary" component={QuizSummary} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
              <Stack.Screen name="ContactUs" component={ContactUs} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
              <Stack.Screen name="Profile" component={Profile} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
              <Stack.Screen name="Favorites" component={Favorites} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
          </Stack.Navigator>
      </NavigationContainer>
  );
};

export default App;

I would like to have a drawer navigator as well with the pages listed below. I know I might need a switch navigator, but everything is super hard to find for version 5. I bet I am not the only one searching for a clear answer on how to do this.
          <Drawer.Screen name="ContactUs" component={ContactUs} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
      <Drawer.Screen name="Profile" component={Profile} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
      <Drawer.Screen name="Favorites" component={Favorites} options={{headerShown:false}}/>

If you have an idea about this, please give me a suggestion.

A: Let'say your stack after login like
const Stack = createStackNavigator();
const App = () => {
return (
  <NavigationContainer>
  <Stack.Navigator initialRouteName="Home">
  <Stack.Screen name="Home" component={Home} options={{headerShown:false}} />
  <Stack.Screen name="ArtistListing" component={ArtistListing} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
  </Stack.Navigator>
  </NavigationContainer>
  );
  };

Let's say this is your drawer navigation.
const Drawer = createDrawerNavigator();
function drawers(){
<Drawer.Screen name="Home" component={App} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
 <Drawer.Screen name="ContactUs" component={ContactUs} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
  <Drawer.Screen name="Profile" component={Profile} options={{headerShown:false}}/>
   }

Now Drawer will be everywhere by default. And HomeScreen will be your first screen by default.
Now the part of AuthFlow.
const AuthFlowStack = createStackNavigator();
function AuthFlow(){
<AuthFlow.Screen name='LogIn' component={LogIn} />
}

Main Stack Flow(which will act as SwitchNavigator)
const Main = createStackNavigator();
function MainFlow(){
{this.state.isLogin ? <Drawer/> :<AuthFlow/>}
}
export default {MainFlow};

And set the value of isLogin to true when you login and send as parameter and set it false when logout.


Hello everyone, my name is Layla and I've been serious about freelance work for about 3 years now. I have a disability so things have been a bit bumpy for me. My landlord just told me that the rent will increase next month. So I have to get on task, and stay on task. The Goth Writer Here's my website, still free for now, so it takes a moment to load.

I'm hoping to find something relatively long-term & steady soon. I hope that I've answered all the basic questions. If anyone would like to know more, please send me a message. I look forward to interacting with all of you.
Cool! Let us know how you go, Melissa.

Hello All, I owned Norrell's Virtual Assistance back in 2004-2006 at which time life threw me a whirlwind and landed me in Germany upside down in a hospital bed. I closed my doors due to illness and time/language constraints. Fast forward to present time, I have time on my hands and in a small college town where jobs are far and few between, my skills need to be put to work. I am working to get my business off the ground floor which isn't easy days, especially being introverted. Any tips on where to start and how to jump into this cold bath water. I must say that I'm nervous, older, and wiser now. With these put together along with my General Administrative skills, I am looking to jump in with both feet.
Great start on your website, pat yourself on the back!!! Our website is always a work in progress as you will soon find out. As for some constructive feedback... 1. I love your logo at the top left. See if you can remove the words on the right of it in black as it is redundant. You only need your business name once. Maybe you could put a nice photo there instead to represent your business. 2. There seems to be wasted white space to the right of all your pages (almost like a column not be used). Maybe see if you can extend your copy to use all the space as that will bring more of your copy above the fold. 3. I'd add some visuals (images/pics) to your website too as this helps warm up a webpage and make it more welcoming for visitors. Or videos too if you are more creative. 4. For credibility/trust since you are a VAinsider you could add our logo to your page (use your affiliate link if you do). I also see you are a member of IVAA so add their logo too. 5. On your services page I would do a call to action (either paypal buttons to buy your services or a link to email you about them). Great job and look forward to seeing it grow with your business.
Congratulations on the launch Brittany! Will you be able to attend this week's VAinsider call? We can do a review of your site on the call if you'd like. Virtual Assistance is a great career for military spouses. What branch are you in? On your home page, I recommend switching around the 2 top headings. It's always best to have "how you can help" a client at the very top. You want them to see how you can help them right away, stress those pain points. Will you be setting up social networks as well? I didn't see any listed yet, was going to follow you. Hopefully you can attend our next call. Let me know if you can't and I'll put a note to get Tawnya to review it even if you aren't there.
If Zoom works for you use Zoom! Here's an article I found using zoom to put onto Facebook Live I used BeLive for my Facebook Lives.
Thank you, Tawnya, I think the interviews you did on Facebook live really helped inspire me. That and I had several speakers encourage me to do them. Every time I did a Facebook live it flopped. I have zoom and I don't know how to go onto Facebook live with zoom. Any ideas?
Hi TJ, welcome to VAnetworking! Sorry for the delay in welcoming you. We just wrapped up our week-long conference so am finally catching up at the forum. Let us know if you have any questions about starting up.

Opinion: Are you ready for the shift to LTE?
By Alex Brisbourne
12 January 2016, 16:04 p.m.
Industry, IoT, LTE
(Image Credit: iStockPhoto/Savushkin)
For several years now, the Internet of Things world has known that AT&T would eclipse its second-generation networks at the end of 2016. Until now, however, it seemed like a far-off date. But Long Term Evolution is overhauling the industry in only a matter of months.
Some companies are already ahead of the curve. Leading automakers are already using LTE technology to turn their cars into Wi-Fi hotspots. Plus, more and more nurses are using tablet-based LTE connections to access healthcare apps, allowing them to check dosage information and access medical calculators with just the touch of a screen.
Although there are other 2G networks still available, such as T-Mobile, the fact remains that if your company has any machine-to-machine or IoT devices operating on 2G, or even 3G, there will come a time when you will need to make the shift to LTE to remain relevant.
Benefits and Misconceptions
LTE is growing in importance every day, but many companies and industries remain reluctant to embrace the technology. Why?
There are three misconceptions:
LTE modules are expensive. As with most technologies, the cost of an LTE module is falling constantly. In the near future, these devices should cost around 25 pounds, which is the same as the price of third-generation GSM devices in the final quarter of last year. It won't be long before we see a new category of LTE devices available for as little as 6-8 pounds, placing them in the 2G GSM cost range. By spring of next year, class-one devices could cost around 17 pounds. If we look at the lifetime ownership cost, LTE will likely be far cheaper than 2G. Forty-seven percent of early adopters have already reported cost savings, and this trend is only set to continue.
Coverage is patchy and poor. When new networks are rolled out, people are always skeptical about coverage. LTE is no different, and many suspect that it's not as widely available as the 2G and 3G networks. Verizon had already built a powerful network by January 2014, and coverage has only expanded. If we compare the coverage map from 2014 to the one from today, we can see how widely available this technology is within the U.S.
LTE is not fully interoperable. There's still work to be done here, but interoperability is improving constantly. Last year, Verizon and AT&T both pledged to roll out voiceover LTE call interoperability by the end of 2015. Even if the companies don't manage to deliver by the deadline, we should consider their willingness to work together a positive sign.
With prices falling, coverage improving, and interoperability on the rise, LTE is the future of networked communications. The new communications standard carries a number of advantages over its predecessors.
LTE has higher bandwidth capabilities. By converging two spectrums, Nokia was able to reach speeds of 3.78 gigabits per second in June of last year. To put that into perspective, this is fast enough to download a full-length HD movie in 11 seconds. While these speeds aren't widely available, the average LTE speed here in the U.K., for example, is already eight times faster than 3G and five times faster than the average fixed-line connection.
As an added bonus, 67 percent of U.S. businesses using LTE technology report increased productivity because business can take place whenever, wherever.
Lastly, LTE prevents outages. Second-generation technology may have saved us from the dropped calls of 1G, but disruption remains a problem. Businesses are terrified of outages, and DSL carries risks. Embedding LTE technology, however, builds in a failsafe, ensuring that if the main network falls, seamless connectivity can continue at high speeds.
Technology has come a long way since the first 2G rollout, and our enterprise practices need to follow suit.
Looking back at the history of M2M, we see that businesses came up with the idea of a product, and then looked into wireless integration.
The world of mobile communications and M2M technology has moved on. Instead of building the product first, companies must connect with providers at a far earlier stage of the process, outlining their desired coverage and discovering what's possible.
In our globalized economy, enterprises must also consider their wider economic models. Few companies develop products solely for one market. With around a quarter of the lifetime cost of a device coming from connectivity, it's essential for leaders to think about network availability and costs sooner rather than later. The first step is to solicit advice from connectivity providers and experts.
The next generation of mobile technology is here, and it's set to liberate the IoT. To take advantage, we must plan ahead.
What else do you think needs to be considered in the shift to LTE? Let us know in the comments.

Alex, interesting perspective about outlining desired coverage before building the product - it makes a lot of sense for the MVNO. As other parts of the world may not be fully LTE ready quickly, or might have different approaches for 3G fallback, having global solutions may be quite challenging. Also security and regulatory are two more areas requiring more attentions, especially in the medical and financial verticals where you would like to expand.

A scuffle between students broke out in Wamena - Jubi
Students Trade Arrows in Carnival Fight
A scuffle between students broke out in Wamena – Jubi
Wamena, Jubi – A scuffle between students broke out in Wamena at around 11:00 during a cultural carnival organized by Jayawijaya Regional Government on Monday in commemorating the 70th Indonesian Independence Day on Monday (10/8/2015).
The incident started while the students of each school who waited for their turn in the carnival attraction gathered in Yapis Wamena High School quarter, then without knowing who've been started, the students were involved into a fight and attacked each other. Moreover, to participate in the parade or carnival, many of them carried bows and arrows. So they were not only throwing the stones but also bringing up the arrows.
Jubi observed there is dozens of pupils were injured on the chest, head, hands and legs due to thrown stones in the incident. Even a pupil of SMAN 1 named Nelson Tabuni must undergo the intensive treatment in hospital since being hit by arrow on his chest.
Tabuni was previously treated in Wamena Hospital before finally referred to Jayapura and evacuated by MAF plane due to serious injury. All treatment cost was covered by the local government.
"The victim is still secured, but he's in critical condition at that moment so that he need to be strictly observed and medical apparatus installed in his chest," a doctor told reporters. Despites some injuries victims of stones and arrows thrown, some vehicles and building are also damaged.
Meanwhile, Jayawijaya Police Deputy Commissionaire Police Fransiskus Elosak admitted the fight incident between high school pupils was triggered by a dipute between the pupils of high schools in Wamena City. When the cultural parade was on going, both junior high schools were gathered in one location and a dispute could not be avoided. "The incident was actually started from yesterday, and the police have scattered them but the pupils used this moment to attack each other and involved some other schools such as SMA Yapis, SMA PGRI and SMA Negeri I Wamena. We are still investigating the trigger," said the deputy chief.
In order to reduce the tension for the next day, the deputy chief said the police have localized the pupils by separating those who involved in the dispute and assigned the police officers to guard in each school. "We will attempt to localize and meet with the relatives in order to provide understanding towards families and school authorities," said Elosak.
Meanwhile, Jayawijaya Regent John Wempi Wetipo firmly confirmed the incident was occurred due to misunderstanding involved the junior high school pupils of SMP 1 and SMP 2 that often involved in the dispute for long time, but it spread to SMA Yapis and SMA Negeri 1. "But I feel grateful because everything was handled smoothly. The police must know who's the actor of this incident, but I think we do not need to exaggerate this problem, because it's just occurred after they were gathered in one location and at the that time they were taunted each other. The police would investigate this case carefully," the regent said. (Islami/rom)

Q: How do I ensure that a referencing table also has data My Postgres database has the following schema where the the user can store multi profile images.
CREATE TABLE users(
    id INT GENERATE AS ALWAYS PRIMARY KEY,
    name VARCHAR(50)
);

CREATE TABLE images(
    id INT GENERATE AS ALWAYS PRIMARY KEY,
    url VARCHAR(50)
);

CREATE TABLE user_images(
    user_id INT REFERENCES users(id),
    image_id INT REFERENCES images(id)
);

How do I ensure that when I insert a user object, I also insert at least one user image?

A: You cannot do so very easily . . . and I wouldn't encourage you to enforce this.  Why?  The problem is a "chick and egg" problem.  You cannot insert a row into users because there is no image.  You cannot insert a row into user_images because there is no user_id.
Although you can handle this situation with transactions or delayed constraint checking, that covers only half the issue -- because you have to prevent deletion of the last image.
Here are two alternative.
First, you can simply add a main_image_id to the users table and insist that it be NOT NULL.  Voila!  At least one image is required.
Second, you can use a trigger to maintain a count of images in users.  Then treat rows with no images as "deleted" so they are never seen.

A: When you insert a data into a table database can return a id from row which was inserted. So, if id > 0 the row has been inserted. But first, add column id (bigserial, auto increment, unique) to all tables.
INSERT INTO user_images VALUES (...) RETURNING id;

The Q-Band EX Fitness Band/tracker is a cheaper alternative to devices such as the Fitbit One, Fitbit Flex, or Fitbit Alta, yet offers more features. Some of the features it offers is counting steps, counting calories, vibrating alarms and notifications, watch, and sleep tracker. The screen in sleek and clear and the tracker is comfortable to wear.
You can view my video review below, or continue reading for some additional thoughts on this fitness tracker.
I find this to tracker to be comparable to other more expensive fitness trackers. The main area where this fitness tracker shines is with all the features. I love being able to track sleep and I love the silent vibrating reviews as well.
This is useful at work as well because it notifies me of calendar events as well as Slack messages.
The battery life is quite good as it lasts for over a week. It is comfortable to wear and as stylish as any fitness tracker can be.
The app is quite nice as it gives you all the info you could possibly want. The only downside to the app is that is has to be running all the time and shows in the notification bar. Also, if you do exit out of the app and restart your phone, it will automatically start up again (not necessarily a bad thing).
I think the Q-Band fitness tracker is already quite good but it has the potential to be even better. This can be updated via your smartphone. I am hoping in the future that notifications won't just show a single line but will be scrollable so you can read and entire message. Also, I hope that in the future you will be able to tell the time just by flicking your wrist and not needing to press the button each time.
My main complaint with this fitness tracker is that I find it a bit difficult to put the band on my wrist.

This is such an important hub for anyone wanting to go into the housekeeping enterprise. I've a enterprise administration diploma and have also completed a health and sweetness course in England. I have created a enterprise, I want to promote, and manage my enterprise much better than I created it. I must be more organized!! Nonetheless, location might not be as vital if you're beginning a enterprise that's house or web-based mostly.

Gander Mountain To Begin Liquidations On 32 Locations
David Flood2017-03-23T18:45:08+00:00	Gander Mountain To Begin Liquidations On 32 Locations
Tiger Capital Group and Great American Group have been chosen to assist Gander Mountain in the closure of 32 under-performing locations across the United States.
The St. Paul, Minn.-based retailer, which filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on March 10 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Minnesota, received court approval to launch the liquidation sales while pursuing a going-concern sale of its remaining assets. The company has 160 stores in total.
The liquidation sales in the 32 closing locations begin on Thursday, March 23, with inventories valued at approximately $100 million.
"For outdoor enthusiasts, these 32 store-closing sales represent an extraordinary opportunity to find an amazing array of brand-name merchandise at significant discounts," said Michael McGrail, COO of Tiger Capital Group. "Outdoor sportsmen and women will not want to miss these historic sales."
"Gander Mountain is well-known for carrying today's most sought-after brands," said Scott Carpenter, President of GA's Retail Solutions division. "Many of these brands are rarely, if ever, discounted, so shoppers will want to come in early to take advantage of these sales while selection lasts."
Brands offered during the liquidation sales include Under Armour, Yeti, The North Face, Coleman, GoPro, Shimano, Columbia, Guide Series, GSX, Carhartt, Merrell, Keen, New Balance, Reebok and Rocky, to name a few. Categories include shooting sports, hunting, fishing, camping, marine, apparel, footwear and outdoor lifestyle.
Furniture, fixtures and equipment will also be on sale as part of the liquidation event.
Stores are continuing to honor Gander Mountain gift cards. The liquidation sales will end when all merchandise has been sold. For a full listing of Gander Mountain stores slated for closure, click here.
