Taiwan election candidates mourn victims of chopper crash
Agence-France Presse 4 January 2020
Han Kuo-Yu, Taiwan?s main opposition presidential candidate, mourned victims of the crash at a campaign rally
Taiwan's presidential candidates paid tribute Saturday to the island's military chief and other officers who perished in a helicopter crash just days before key elections.
President Tsai Ing-wen cancelled campaigning to visit a radar station that Shen Yi-ming and his entourage were bound for on Thursday when their chopper smashed into mountains near Taipei.
The 62-year-old general was among eight killed in the crash, becoming Taiwan's highest-ranking military official to die on duty, while five people survived.
"I am finishing the mission for chief Shen to visit everyone on his behalf," Tsai told soldiers at the station in the northeastern region of Yilan.
"We are deeply saddened but the best way to honour Shen is to fulfil our duties and protect our country."
Investigators have recovered the Black Hawk helicopter's flight data recorder, which is being analysed to help determine the cause of the crash.
Tsai is seeking a second term in the January 11 elections against her main challenger Han Kuo-yu, with the debate dominated by relations with China.
In southern Tainan city, Han mourned victims of the crash at a campaign rally where his supporters dressed in dark clothes and held placards reading "rest in peace".
"We are really sad at this huge tragedy and we have to reflect and review the incident," he told the crowd after a moment of silence.
He also criticised Tsai's government over pension cuts, saying the move has shaken the faith of soldiers and public-sector workers.
Han, from the Beijing-friendly Kuomintang (KMT) party, had a stunning rise in 2018 local elections to become mayor of Kaohsiung city -- a traditional heartland of Tsai's Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) -- amid a backlash over government reform policies.
He has described January's vote as a choice between "peace or crisis" with China, campaigning on the slogan "Taiwan safe, people rich".
Taiwan has been a de facto sovereign nation since the end of a civil war in 1949, but China still views the island as its territory and has vowed to reunite it, by force if necessary.
Since Tsai's 2016 election, Beijing has sought to isolate the island because her party refuses to acknowledge Taiwan is part of "one China".
Tsai has described the election as a fight for Taiwan's freedom and democracy against an increasingly assertive Beijing.

The 25-year-old actress – who won the coveted Rising Star Award at London's Royal Albert Hall on Sunday night (10.02.19) – revealed in her acceptance speech that she nearly quit acting due to a "deep depression".
Reflecting on her speech, Letitia explained: "I didn't write anything, I just thought, if I were to win I'd just speak from my heart.
"Whether it be sadness, depression, thinking they're not good enough and not allowing their light to shine within them.
"That was my opportunity to say it to them, that 'Hey, I see you and I understand what you're going through.'"
She said: "This looks great, a red carpet and a nice dress looks great. But people on the inside are feeling sad and they're feeling broken, so how can I encourage them tonight?"
"The only thing that pulled me out of that was God, my belief, my family, and an email from BAFTA telling me they wanted me to be a part of BAFTA Breakthrough Brits and it inspired me to keep going. I'm still a work in progress.
"I want to encourage young people – matter of fact you don't even have to be young – anybody that is going through a hard time, God made you and you're important. Let your light shine."

Family Medicine partners with new Indigenous health-care centre
McMaster University's Department of Family Medicine is partnering with the De dwa da dehs nye>s Aboriginal Health Centre that will be located at a new Biindigen Well-Being Centre on Britannia Avenue in Hamilton.
The Biindigen Centre will serve residents of Hamilton's McQuesten neighbourhood, home to a significant urban Indigenous population. As well as the health-care centre, it will also include offices of Niwasa Kendaaswin Teg, a multi-service Indigenous organization, and Ontario Aboriginal Housing Services.
The centre is relocating to a new site on the former site of the St. Helen's Catholic elementary school from its present Main Street East home, to meet growing public demand for its services. Currently, it has 74 people waiting for primary care services and 104 individuals on a waiting list for mental health services.
"Biindigen will be an ongoing experience of reconciliation as McMaster joins with De dwa da dehs nye>s in improving access to primary care in the local community, and in creating opportunities for learners to deepen their understanding of Indigenous knowledge and their capacity for offering culturally safe care," said Cathy Risdon, chair of the Department of Family Medicine.
"Importantly, it will finally allow for a longitudinal curriculum in Indigenous health that is immersive and impactful."
While a construction start date has yet to be confirmed, representatives from McMaster were among the key stakeholders who attended a celebration at the new site on July 15.
In a news release, the De dwa da dehs nye>s Aboriginal Health Centre said the new location was chosen as six per cent of people living in the McQuesten neighbourhood identify as Indigenous. The overall proportion of Indigenous people in Hamilton is 3.3 per cent.
The centre recently received $10 million in funding from the Ministry of Health for the new building.
"Many of the Indigenous population do not trust mainstream health-care providers as they don't feel safe or welcome," said Pat Mandy, chair of the Biindigen steering committee.
"The centre will be a place that acknowledges Indigenous culture and is welcoming to all."

To perfect summer's lit-from-within, dewy flush, make-up artists often stain the apples of the cheeks with colour before veiling the face with ultra sheer foundation. A gel blush or lip/cheek tint is the ideal choice, just be sure to let it dry before applying your face base.
Highlighting your cupid's bow, giving depth to your lower lip and keeping colours light and glossy creates the illusion of a plumper pout. This little wonder from Benefit makes getting bee-stung a breeze.
Benefit Cupid's Bow lip shaping kit, $53.
Nothing beats a clamp curler for lifting your lashes sky high. Try it on warm, just-out-of-the-shower lashes for extra effect and always choose a curler with a rubber cushion to avoid damage.
For seductively elongated eyes, place a slim wand close to the root of your lashes and, as you sweep toward your tips, give it a little wiggle and tug to the side. Then add an extra coat just on the outer corners for a flawless feline effect.
It might take some practice, but the naturally defined top lash line is worth it. Tightlining is the application of eyeliner from below so you are defining your lash base without an obvious line on your lid. First place your finger underneath your top lashes and lift them back (as though inserting contact lenses). See the line where the membrane and lashes meet? Take your liner (a moderately soft kohl pencil is often easier for first-timers) and gently apply it along this line, 'pushing' the colour up and into your lash base. The result: subtle, yet stunning, definition with no obvious make-up trail.
A properly defined brow can work like an instant facelift, framing your features and lifting your eyes. Professionals recommend shading with powder for a natural, seamless finish.
Love the shade of your shadow, just wish it was a little more intense? Mix a little with water or eye primer to turn it into a livewire liner. Trace it on with a fine-tipped eyeliner brush or wash it all over your lid to really make those peepers pop.
Tip: Mix powder and primer/water on the back of your hand. Never add water directly to your shadow palette as it can contaminate it with bacteria.
Once you've been enlightened, everything glows a little more gorgeously: brow bones, temples, cheekbones and your décolletage. Mix lotions with your foundation or moisturiser for luscious luminosity, sculpt by creating light and shade or bounce light away from blemishes and imperfections. The possibilities are endless.
I bought the lip tint for the first time last week and it is so beautiful and very functional. I use it on my lips and my cheeks.
Great tip not to add water directly to the eyeshadow palette to create liner. You can use a small clean spatula, like the ones you use to get creams out of jars, to scrape a bit of eyeshadow out.
Generally speaking, pathogens (disease causing germs) are less likely to grow in dry powders than wet substances. So if you've already mixed your eyeshadow with water in the palette, make sure you let the eyeshadow dry out before storing it away to reduce risk of pathogen proliferation.
I've seen other websites, e.g. the Bourjois website provide similar hints such as to "... divide the eyeshadow cake in half with an imaginary line. Then always use one side dry and the other side wet." However, I think the Bourjois tip is aiming primarily to preserve the texture of the eyeshadow.
good tips ! i really want longer hair so i might look into these hair clips ..
great summer tips. will try to remember them come summer time!!
I'm going to try adding shimmer to my conditioner tonight. I hope I can find my hair colour in a Diva Clip.
Number 9 - Shadow into liner really works! I have only just discovered this trick in the last month and will always use it from now on. The difference it has made to my whole look is absolutely amazing and I recommend it to anyone.
WOW, cool as tips, cant wait to try em on ma self and see the outcome!
Great tips. I just love tightlining, it makes my lashes look so thick. I can't wait to try reversing my blush and wiggling my mascara wand.
I would never have thought of using shimmer dust in my leave-in moisturiser.....very cool. Will be trying this one!


Guadagnerai 8 Punti per acquistare questo prodotto.
Checking resistance: Once in the main menu, clicking the "Res" button enters you into the resistance menu. On this screen you will see "Set Res" on the top and on the bottom you will see a "CHECK" button. By pressing the "CHECK" button , it will give you a resistance and "YES" and "NO" buttons will appear. Pressing "YES" will take you back to the main menu with your resistance set. Pressing "NO" will cause "+" and "-" buttons to appear which allow you to manually change your resistance. NOTE: The manual changing of resistance only applies when using a temperature control mode.
Picking a mode: In the main menu, the 2nd option found is called "Mode". By pressing "Mode" you will enter a mode selection menu that allows you to choose which mode to fire the device in. You will see "PWR" which is your standard variable wattage mode and within that mode you will see two different options: "W" Power which is wattage mode, and a new mode called "Curve". "Curve" is a unique firing mode within traditional power mode that manually imitates the abilities of temperature control by setting 5 different wattage over time presets. For example you can set the device to fire at 80W for .5 seconds then 90W for 0.5 seconds then 75W for 0.5 seconds (for up to 5 different presets). Doing this will run through your presets in a cycle for an extremely fine tuned vaping experience. Wattage in "Curve" can be adjusted in 0.1 watt increments and seconds can be adjusted in .1 second increments. The other options found in the mode selection screen are "Coil" which is used to select which type of wire you are firing against (supports Ni200, SS316, SS317, and Ti), and then "TCR" and "TFR" modes.
Using set up: The last option in the main menu is called "Set Up". In the "Set Up" menu you will see three different pictures. The first one (which looks like a light) controls the brightness of the screen. The screen can be adjusted on a scale of 1 - 10 based on user preference. The 2nd option (which looks like a piece of paper) is used to set a puff limit. This sets a maximum number of puffs that can be taken if you are trying to limit and monitor the amount that you vape. If you try to fire the device and have exceeded your maximum puffs, a warning symbol along with the text of "PUFF LIMIT" will display on the screen and the device will not fire. Setting the limit to 0000 will not set a maximum number of puffs but will still record the amount of puffs taken. The last option (which looks like a garage can) wipes your puffs so can have a fresh gauge of how much the device is being used.

DVD SHOWS THAT WRESTLER'S CAREER WAS NOT WITHOUT FLAIR
By ALEX MARVEZ INSIDE THE RING
Any doubts about who is the greatest performer in grappling history were dispelled with World Wrestling Entertainment's DVD release of The Ultimate Ric Flair Collection.
The three-disc, 11-hour set showcases highlights from Flair's 32-year career, including classic interviews and legendary matches from WWE, as well as when he wrestled for the now-defunct Jim Crockett Promotions and World Championship Wrestling. The Flair DVD has sold almost 100,000 copies since its release last fall, becoming one of the hottest WWE products.
"The work and the matches were there, but [WWE] packaged them and put the interviews in with all the glamour," Flair said. "I could have said I don't like this match or that one, but I think this brings people really up-to-date on the things I did with people like Terry Funk, Ricky Steamboat and Sting. It's a real good collection."
But when he watches the DVD, Flair can't help but think about how many more highlights he could have provided had he not spent a good portion of the 1990s squabbling with WCW management.
Besides being placed in humiliating story lines that are better left in the archives, Flair also spent several months away from the ring in 1998 because of a messy legal battle with WCW.
Flair's problems had a draining effect, both personally and professionally.
"I know it sounds strange, but a few years ago I started to lose my self-confidence," said Flair, who will chronicle his career in an autobiography being released in June. "I started second-guessing myself when you've got to be automatic. It was something that had never crossed my mind before. I couldn't wait to get out of [WCW]."
Even when entering WWE in late 2001, eight months after that promotion purchased WCW, Flair admits he was afraid to let his guard down around his peers until last May when he was honored with a surprise in-ring ceremony following a Monday Night Raw telecast in Greenville, S.C. Footage of a teary Flair is included in the DVD.
"I was skeptical about what was around the corner," said Flair, whose real name is Richard Fliehr. "I don't truly think I became comfortable in WWE until that night in Greenville. It got me back on my feet and made me aware that guys like Shawn Michaels and Hunter [Hearst Helmsley] and Steve Austin were being sincere. I let that feeling of being accepted slip away for a while. That's a terrible feeling."
So is the thought of wrestling without Flair being an active performer, which seemed a possibility last month when he began experiencing significant weakness in his hand. Flair said medical tests were inconclusive as to whether a pinched nerve or damaged C-8 disc in his back was causing the problem, but he has improved enough to land a spot teaming with Batista and Randy Orton against Mick Foley and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in nine days at Wrestlemania XX.
Flair also is set to add another title to his amazing resume -- grandfather. Not only is Flair's daughter, Megan, set to give birth to her first child on May 9, two of his other children are excelling in high school athletics. Ashley Fliehr is one of the top volleyball players in North Carolina, while Reid Fliehr posted a 34-10 amateur wrestling record as a freshman.
David Flair, who is a spitting image of his father, also has shown improvement while working for the Puerto Rico-based International Wrestling Association. Ric Flair said David has taken a hiatus from wrestling but hopes WWE will consider re-signing him to a developmental contract.
Flair's heavy involvement with his family will help make the transition to life after wrestling easier, but he has no immediate plans of stepping away despite his turning 55 nine days ago. Flair said WWE has recently spoken with him about a three-year contract extension.
"As long as they're happy, I'm happy doing it," Flair said. "Really, I think it's a good thing for me. It keeps me in shape and pushes me to compete with younger guys. And I think I can get better at it again. I think the more I do it and the more relaxed the situation and environment is, the better I can thrive in it.
"I like to compete. It really is about competition, even though it's not."

Lisa Lynch took longs breaks to fight back tears during her testimony Monday in a trial where her ex-boyfriend could be sentenced to death for the murder of her two children.
Jeffrey Weisheit, 37, is charged with setting fire to the Evansville home he shared with Lynch and her two children, Caleb Lynch, 5, and Alyssa Lynch, 8, in 2010 while the children were inside.
The case is being tried in Clark County because of the media attention it has received in Vanderburgh County where the alleged crime was committed.
Lynch, 30, testified that during a 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. work shift she had received a phone call after midnight from her neighbor that her home was on fire. She said Weisheit, who was watching the children, did not respond to her calls and text messages as she tried to find out if her children were safe.
My Crime Library Presents: Bennie And Blade Reed Teen Killers
The frantic mother was given ride from a co-worker to her burning home nearly 45 minutes away.
Lynch said from the witness stand that her neighbor had informed her that Weisheit's Camaro was not at the home, and she went as far as contacting OnStar customer service to track down Weisheit in the vehicle. She said after several phone calls, an OnStar representative reached Weisheit, but her then-boyfriend declined to take the call from her.
At about 7:45 a.m. April 10, hours after Lynch reached the home, emergency response officials located Caleb Lynch's remains in the burning rubble. It wasn't until after 3 p.m. when Alyssa Lynch's body was found huddled in what had been a closet.
Pictures of the children's charred remains were shown to jurors Monday, after attorneys had presented their opening arguments earlier in the day.
Vanderburgh County Deputy Prosecutors Charles Berger and Gary Shutte are representing the state. Weisheit is represented by court-appointed attorneys Mike McDaniel, of New Albany, and Steve Owens, of Vanderburgh County.
After a week of jury selection, the trial continued Monday in Judge Daniel Moore's Circuit Court No. 1.
Prosecutors called five witnesses to testify on its first day of presenting the case. Along with Lynch, her neighbor, two Vanderburgh County Sheriff's Department deputies and German Township Volunteer Fire Department Chief David Bretz also testified.
Lynch testified that she became involved with Weisheit, a co-worker at a plastics plant, during her divorce with her children's father, in 2008. She said they had a good relationship and had even talked about getting married and gone ring shopping, but the two were never officially engaged.
My Crime Library Presents: William Gibson Indiana Death Row
During Bretz's testimony — who was German Township VFD's assistant chief at the time of the 2010 house fire — he said that when Caleb Lynch's remains were found, a road flare and a partial road flare were located in the immediate area.
When Bretz was cross-examined by the defense, however, he could not say how the fire was started or where in the home the blaze had originated.
During the trial's afternoon break, McDaniel said he was pleased to have the long jury-selection process behind him and to be moving onto the arguments.
"It is good to get started, and I think it is going to move pretty quickly," McDaniel said.
He said it remains unresolved if the fatal fire resulted from arson or another more benign cause.
McDaniel told the jurors earlier in the day to not let the emotional impact of the case sway their decision-making during the trial, adding that the photographs of the deceased children are some of the most unsettling images he has come across in his 45 years attending autopsies.
"When you are dealing with kids who have been burned, that's as bad as it gets," McDaniel said.
He said the defense plans to show that Weisheit did not set out to murder the Lynch children.
"I am hoping they will find that there was not an intentionally set fire," he said. "I told the jury this morning: This is a fellow who should have been convicted of felonious neglect of children resulting in their death."
The trial was scheduled to continue Tuesday morning.

Q: I have the same button rendered in two different place. How to know which button is clicked? I am using ng2-smart-table. I used the custom filter and rendered same button in both the filter. But I am confused how to know which button is clicked.?

This is the component of the button.
@Component({
  template: `
    <button (click)="onClick()">Select Range</button>
  `,
})
export class RangeFilterComponent extends DefaultFilter implements OnInit {

  inputControl = new FormControl();

  constructor(private dialogService: NbDialogService) {
    super();
  }

  ngOnInit() {
  }

  onClick=()=>{
    this.dialogService.open(ShowcaseDialogComponent, {
      context: {
        title: 'Select Range',
      },
    });
  }
}

This is the settings of ng2-smart-table where i have rendered the button
columns: {
      name: {
        title: 'Project Name',
        type: 'string',
      },
      description: {
        title: 'Description',
        type: 'string',
      },
      type: {
        title: 'Project Type',
        type: 'string',
      },
      scheme: {
        title: 'Scheme',
        type: 'string',
      },
      assigned_to: {
        title: 'Engineer',
        type: 'string',
      },
      assigned_contractor: {
        title: 'Contractor',
        type: 'string',
      },
      cost_disbursement: {
        title: 'Cost Disbursement',
        filter:{
          type: 'custom',
          component: RangeFilterComponent
        }
      },
      physical_progress: {
        title: 'Physical Progress',
        filter:{
          type: 'custom',
          component: RangeFilterComponent
        }
      },

A: Deep say you add to your button.component.ts
@Input()title:string

//and change the onClick like
onClick=()=>{
   console.log(this.title)
   ...
}

And change the main.html like
<app-button [title]="'one'">One</button>
<app-button [title]="'two'">Two</button>

Well, when a "input" is fixed, it's recomender use @attribute. That's imagine you has in your app.component
<app-button something="one">One</button>

See that the "attribute" it's not enclosed by [] and is a simple string. You can "get" the attribute in the constructor of app-button:
constructor(@Attribute('something') public something: string) {}

See simple stackblitz
This is most efficient, because Angular don't ask about an attribute

A: maybe you just want to do something when one of the buttons is clicked:
In your settings:
  cost_disbursement: {
    title: 'Cost Disbursement',
    filter:{
      type: 'custom',
      component: RangeFilterComponent,
      onComponentInitFunction: (instance) => {
      instance.click.subscribe(()=> {
        this.methodA();
        });
      },
    },
  },
  physical_progress: {
    title: 'Physical Progress',
    filter:{
      type: 'custom',
      component: RangeFilterComponent,
      onComponentInitFunction: (instance) => {
      instance.click.subscribe(()=> {
        this.methodB();
        });
      },
    }
  },

In your custom render component:
@Component({
  template: `
    <button (click)="onClick()">Select Range</button>
  `,
})
export class RangeFilterComponent extends DefaultFilter implements OnInit {

  inputControl = new FormControl();
  @Output() click = new EventEmitter();

  constructor(private dialogService: NbDialogService) {
    super();
  }

  ngOnInit() {
  }

  onClick()=>{
    this.click.emit();
  }
}

and manage the open modal in the methodA() and methodB()

A: Add one @input() Attribute to your childComponent(Button Component) i.e title = 'Physical Progress' or title = 'Cost Disbursement' and then pass it to onClick(title)

There are many ways to be kind. Below are a variety of expressive arts activities using a love of doodling/art to create fun random acts of kindness.
Using expressive arts to offer random acts of kindness offers two major benefits. First, you are using a relaxing modality of self-care which you already enjoy and find calming. Second, studies have shown that when we express gratitude and kindness we benefit from the positive intention to connect socially. "The experience of gratitude and the actions stimulated by it build and strengthen social bonds and friendships."(1) Art is a "win-win" as a random act of kindness!

Some we don't have figures for, others clients have their goal figures set up on Analytics.
The above is a web design company that wanted only to increase traffic for web development + city – the additional sales have made the company in excess of £150,000 in 4 months.
The keyword for this site was Maldives holidays. This site generated over £250,000 in its first year as an affiliate site getting £100 per sale. We wrote the content, helped set the site up and got to position #2 in four months. Extra keywords in the second year helped increase traffic even more.
Keyword Sri Lanka holidays, peak time is January but as you can see we raised the traffic's average over the previous year. We started from day one for this site, so all successes have been down to us.
Business loans client, we started very early on in the site's online life and have grown it into one of the leading business loans websites in the UK (and the EU now). Currently makes £millions per month from organic SEO.
Very low volume keywords but highly profitable in the finance industry. Again, we have been with this company from the start. We've reached the ceiling for this keyword and are helping the company with new avenues for slightly different financial products. The spike at the start is from press release launch, not buyer's traffic until it settled down around the 100 per day mark.
Here is a well-known e-commerce site selling stationary items. We have increased their traffic by 67% over their last 6 months, albeit with the Xmas bump, but the increases can be seen across the board. In the first few weeks, we hit 13 x #1s for their main target keywords (difficult ones!). This site makes around £150k per month.

Perfect thx!
Perfect! I would certainly use again!
There were plenty of spaces available. It's so good to have spaces just a short walk away from the high street
Yes, 7 minutes from the station. Someone told me you can park at the station hotel car park, and there were in fact spaces at the station itself, but I didn't want to risk it. Not a bad price, and you can shop in Morrisons! Which I wouldn't do normally.

A resumption of production in Peru plus new drilling plans in Colombia, Ecuador and Guyana are underpinning Toronto-listed Frontera Energy's plans to sustain output in Colombia and grow elsewhere in the region.
A first quarter 2019 operational update put Frontera's current production at at over 75,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, including 10,000 boepd from Peru's Block 192, which spent most of the first quarter offline due to a force majeure relating to the NorPeruano pipeline.
Frontera's first quarter production averaged 67,930 boepd, which was within the company's 2019 production guidance range of 65,000 to 70,000 boepd.
In Colombia, output averaged 65,560 boepd in the first quarter, helped by the commissioning of a water-handling expansion project on the Quifa field.
"Our upstream investments are moving forward, with drilling soon to start on the VIM-1 block in Colombia and on the Corentyne block offshore Guyana," chief executive Richard Herbert said.
Frontera's strategic plan includes boosting production and reserves in the North Andean region, and the company is in the process of acquiring a working interest in two blocks in Ecuador's Intracampos round, in partnership with Chile's GeoPark.
Frontera described the Perico and Espejo blocks as attractive, low-risk exploration blocks with more than five multi-layer and ready-to-drill light oil prospect already identified. Field operations are expected to start in late 2019 or early 2020.
During the second quarter of this year, Frontera plans to drill 37 development wells in Colombia, including 30 in the Quifa area, four in the CPE-6 block, two in the Copa field, and one in the Guatiquia block. The company will also drill two exploration wells in the Mapache block and one in the CPE-6 block.
The planned well on the VIM-1 block will be spudded in the third quarter, rather than the second quarter as previously announced. The VIM-1 block is operated by Parex Resources, and Frontera is in the process of acquiring a 50% stake.
Frontera is finalising a joint venture agreement with CGX Energy to enter Guyana's Corentyne block, with plans to spud the Utakwaaka-1 wildcat in the third quarter of 2019.
An agreement is in place to Rowan Rigs' Ralph Coffman offshore jack-up rig from the second quarter of 2019, Frontera said.

A Million on the Mall
By Hillary Frey
Anyone who thinks the contemporary women's movement is dying, over or simply irrelevant will have to think again after last weekend's March for Women's Lives. More than a million mothers, daughters, fathers and sons converged on the Washington Mall on Sunday to affirm every woman's right to reproductive healthcare and reproductive freedom, as well as the vitality of modern feminism.
The march, and the rallies that took place before and after, involved more than a year of planning by feminist, minority, civil libertarian and religious groups, including Planned Parenthood, the Feminist Majority, the Black Women's Health Imperative, the ACLU and the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health. The long-term strategizing and cooperative work clearly paid off -- both by making this march one of the largest in U.S. history, and by calling together a crowd that was impressively diverse. Many speakers at both rallies commented on this fact; morning emcee Lisa Gay Hamilton, who played lawyer Rebecca Washington on The Practice, noted that she had been to the historic 1992 women's march, but from then to now "there [was] one major difference -- and that's the people of color" present on the Mall.
As a marcher, it was hard to fathom the enormity of the event. Although police estimates have marked attendance in the high hundreds of thousands, organizers claim 1.15 million attendees (at the march, volunteers worked hard to count each person by registering marchers on paper, and then giving them a sticker declaring "Count me in," which signaled those who had been included in tally). In the morning, gigantic TV screens next to the main stage, and elsewhere on the Mall, displayed images of people stretching from the Washington Monument to the Capitol building. People started to filter onto the streets around noon; the first marchers returned to the Mall around 2:30, after walking a two-mile loop down Pennsylvania Avenue toward the White House and back around. At that point -- two-and-a-half hours after the first demonstrators hit the pavement -- others were only just beginning their creep past the Monument. That's how many people there were -- enough to create a three-hour-long traffic jam.
There was a detectable amount of stumping for John Kerry during the rallies and the march -- a bunch of mostly male volunteers (from what I could tell) were handing out "Women for Kerry" stickers -- but signs, shirts and chants were mostly focused on demanding choice and reproductive healthcare and freedom for all women. Fashion-wise, pink ruled the day; Planned Parenthood, which deserves kudos for bringing out so many people from its affiliates across the country, marked its presence with hot pink T-shirts bearing the march logo on the back; Ms. magazine delegates donned black baby-Ts with a hot pink Ms. emblazoned across the chest; mass-produced signs from the Feminist Majority came in various shades of rose. The Pink Bloque, a radical dance troupe of young women from Chicago, decked themselves out in homemade pink miniskirts, sleeveless pink T-shirts and matching headbands.
There was the requisite anti-choice presence, concentrated for the most part on a fairly short stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue. But chants of "Not the church, not the state, women will decide their fate" easily drowned out the words even of those demonstrators with megaphones. Some of the anti-choice signs were simply too bizarre to ignore -- like "Smile, the baby's coming," as if all 1 million marchers were presently pregnant. But many were the same old gross-out, blown-up images of fetuses and blood. The notable exceptions were the more subtle, mass-produced posters of smiling women bearing the slogan "Women deserve better than abortion." The anti-choice movement seems to be testing out a slick new marketing strategy, but it didn't win any converts at the march.
As things wound down in the late afternoon, speakers continued to take the mike: The iconic Gloria Steinem, former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, actress Ashley Judd and comedian Wanda Sykes all took turns keeping marchers rallied up and entertained. But no one managed to match the impact that surprise speaker Hillary Rodham Clinton had when she spoke in the morning to the gathering throngs. As she took the stage, it was as if the Beatles arrived; even progressives, who might lament that the New York senator is more of a centrist than they'd like, couldn't help but scream and applaud. Urging the crowd to elect a pro-choice president come November, Clinton remarked, "if all we do is march today, it will not change the condition the country is in."
She's right. But I can't help but think that the March for Women's lives showed millions of people that the United States -- or rather, the people who live in it -- are in better shape than we thought. If the momentum generated in Washington carries through to November, perhaps we won't need to have another March for Women's Lives for quite a while -- or, better yet, ever again.

Building a Bridge Across the Cultural Divide
Ahmad Bushnaq
It all started with 12 cartoons published in an obscure Denmark-based newspaper. Now, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone anywhere in the world who has not heard about the uproar and controversy. Every commentator and talking head is offering an opinion about the issue, taking sides and trying to interpret the undying firestorm. What is missing from most of those venues is an attempt to explain the background behind the events. Many questions come up: Why are the Muslims so angry? Why are they rioting in the streets? Don't they understand freedom of speech? How will this end? In order to grasp all of this, we need to start at the beginning.
The main tenant in Islam is to believe in one God and the message of Prophet Muhammad. The Prophet holds a very honorable position in the faith, as do all the prophets of the Judeo-Christian tradition, from Noah to Abraham to Jesus. They are treated with the respect and honor due to their service as messengers of the divine. Additionally, images of the prophets are strictly and explicitly forbidden, whether they are portrayed respectfully or not. This is done out of high reverence for those prophets, as well as to keep the focus on their messages rather than on the individual.
The cartoons of the Prophet shown in European publications were deliberately offensive and played on the worst possible stereotypes of Muslims in the West. The Danish newspaper's editor made the claim that he was doing this to fight against the self-censorship being exercised by artists and journalists in the West when it came to the Muslim faith. The subsequent publication by various newspapers was a sign of protest and a stand for free speech. The more papers that published the cartoons, the stronger the reaction from the Muslim world, as demonstrations became louder and more widespread.
Is freedom of speech absolute? Where do we draw the line, if at all? Some people might argue that there should never be a restriction on free speech under any circumstances, that it is a sacred, absolute right. Yet, with such a right, responsibility has to be exercised, and it is successfully exercised by many people on an everyday basis. Nobody in their right mind would call the fact that it is illegal to yell "fire" in a crowded theater censorship. TV and radio stations regularly restrict the type of programming they show to respect their audiences' sensibilities. The law contains provisions allowing people to sue for defamation and libel. In other words, there is an expectation in today's society for the responsibility that comes along with this freedom.
What the newspapers in Europe did was, at best, an act of irresponsible baiting. As the situation got worse and passions became inflamed, they poured fuel on the fire in a blatant publicity stunt instead of exercising responsible restraint (as newspapers in Sweden and the UK demonstrated when they refused to publish the cartoons).
What about the response? Does the offense justify the boycotts, demonstrations, violence and embassy burnings? It has to be made clear that in Islam, attacking innocent people is strictly forbidden. The people running the embassy, the foreign nationals who were threatened and kidnapped, and the death threats are the result of passions that boiled over from a multitude of issues, with the cartoons serving as the final straw.
Did the governments in the Middle East stoke the flames, as the E.U. and the U.S. are claiming? Perhaps. It certainly provided an ideal opportunity for governments that have oppressed their own people for a long time to let out some frustration on the West and ease the pressure on themselves. It also must be noted that the majority of the protests and calls for boycotts have been peaceful. Leading Islamic scholars from around the world have come forward with calls for calm and for peace. Naturally, the main events that make it into the media are the more sensational ones involving violence, death and injury. The complex local reasons for such violence are ignored or barely mentioned, if at all.
So what are the next steps? What can we ordinary people do about the spiraling firestorm? Should we just ignore it until it dies down and goes out of the media spotlight? Should we wait for world leaders or the United Nations to come up with a resolution that will probably be shelved after plenty of fanfare and talk show appearances? Hardly. What we all need to do is start talking to each other. What we need is a genuine dialogue based on the desire to understand one another.
More than ever, we need to reach out to our neighbors who are different from us, both locally and globally, to counter the rising tide of anger, alienation and belligerence on both sides. There are people on each end with their own agenda and interest in stoking the flames, but the real problem is that the vast majority of people simply do not understand each other, even though they think they do. There are many ways to correct this situation, especially in today's age of modern communication and the internet.
Connecting people from the East and the West, as well as learning about the other side from many different available sources, is easier than ever. Technology affords us an incredible opportunity to reach out to others across the globe, crossing national and international boundaries and encountering cultures and people we might never have encountered otherwise. On a local level, we all work, live, play and shop with people who are different from us in many ways.
We should get to know each other, visit our neighbors and talk to those living near us who may be from another city, another state, another country, or perhaps another continent all together. It is up to ordinary people to bridge the gap that has lead to this firestorm. The time is short and the situation is dire, but there is always hope as long as there are honest people who are looking for it. Here's hoping that we find it before it is too late.

2018 Infiniti Q50 Reviews, Redesign, Engine Specs, Change, Release Date - Any purchaser that appreciates excellent, luxurious and selective cars must look to the 2018 Infiniti Q50 if in reality he/she is searching for those qualities. Worked as a full-measure vehicle car and advancing a superior quality than its antecedents in the Nissan extravagance division. We expect the 2018 Infiniti Q50 to hold the center segment of its antecedents. We don't expect any critical redesigns from the past model. The new model will get some new components with some overhaul and advancements that would energize the market. We point by point a portion of the forthcoming design and elements of the inside and outside, execution of the engine, and the release date, and price.
We anticipate from Japanese producer to proceed with changes of this extravagance vehicle, likewise for 2018 Infiniti Q50 display. As you may know, this conservative extravagance car came to fruition three years prior. It came to supplant surely understood G arrangement. Nissan's extravagance division released new reduced extravagance car, which is astonishing in all angles. In spite of the fact that it is just three years of age, organization as of now did a few updates a year ago. We saw upgrades in visual viewpoint, new engine and numerous different things. The 2018 Q50 will proceed with its advancement. Be that as it may, we don't expect such enormous changes as we saw a year ago. New model will most likely get some new components and possibly some littler visual changes.
Initially presented as a 2014 model, Infiniti's smash hit, the Q50, is expected for a revive to see it through until the following all-new model goes along. Accordingly, the front and back delicate bits get a decent going over, with new headlamps that seem to emanate a more extreme gaze from more eye-like focal points. The lower air admissions and sides of the grille are changed, and out back, the tail light design are likewise new.
Wear models highlight one of a kind design points of interest including a more precise front guard and more extensive, lower admissions. The Red Sport 400 kicks things up an indent with considerably more forceful components that flag its place at the highest point of the lineup.
Inside updates on the Q50 reflect a few things that showed up on the Q60 roadster, including the shifter and guiding wheel. Likewise search for spinal bolster situates that are said to decrease weight on the lower and upper back muscles.
We foresee the Infiniti Q50 2018 to be pressed with top quality cowhide material. The most recent innovation and redesigns in the inside communicating the producer taste for solace and delight. Aside from the standard electronic items and safety highlights that were costly discretionary elements in the present models. We will see more legroom in the seat to make the inhabitant feel quiet in the car. Space will make comfort for the legs and set out and toward the driver.
The inside was designed with an unconventional consideration regarding fine detail. Likewise included are ndroid OS and Apple organization help, FM satellite radio, Apandora, sound, widespread serial transport, and a great deal more. Insurance details will be of the best quality which incorporates a head impact shirking, prescient mishap ready program, straight versatile controlling, back camera dynamic path oversee, with endless taking a gander at perspectives, and furthermore other security components to keep everybody outside and inside secure.
The 2018 Infiniti Q50 will be controlled by the honor winning 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine. The powertrain highlights an immediate infusion gas filling framework and is said to be more fuel productive that its ancestor. The effective and responsive engine can convey either 300 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque or 400 hp and 350 pound-feet of torque.
ProPilot is Nissan and Infiniti's new self-driving innovation. At first, it will just offer help to the driver as opposed to genuine self-driving ability. Infiniti hasn't really expounded on what the ProPilot framework will be fit for in the 2018 Q50 however the automaker has already expressed that the principal variant of ProPilot will empower a car to creep in movement, journey on the expressway and monitor encompassing vehicles all alone.
The visual changes are minor and seem to comprise basically of another front guard design. We're likewise not expecting much in the method for changes in the engine as the powertrain lineup was quite recently extended for the 2016 model year.
Since the greater part of its prior enjoyed and state-of-the-art innovations in the forerunner have not been messed with. The 2018 Infiniti Q50 price will go from $35,000 to $49,000 which is pretty much close to the past model. The company`s representative has not conveyed the official release dates. Be that as it may, Infiniti Q50 2018 is relied upon to come some place in the second half of the next year.

Q: XCode skeleton projects overriding I'm pretty new to Objective-C, so I am not entirely sure of the terms I should be searching for. Apologies if you've seen this question before.
I have noticed that in the skeleton projects that XCode produces contain overrides like so:
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
}

I am not sure why this is part of the code that is generated. I am confident that I could omit this method and not affect the application because it simply calls the method on the parent class. Is this method stub just here to show the developer that they can override this commonly overridden method, or is this something in Objective-C that I have not yet come across?

A: It's a method that you'll often want to override, so it's included in the template as a convenience. If you don't add any code of your own to it, you could as well remove it altogether because only calling super is the same as leaving it out.
I suspect it's also included to remind you that you have to call super if you override it.

A: Yes, if you have nothing to add to this method it could be left out.  It is there to provide you a template where you can add your code for things you want done in viewDidLoad.


Scalable video, evolved in a long way of more than 20 years, has attracted significant interest in the past decades in both academia and industry due to its versatility and potential in providing flexible storage and communication services. In contrast to the conventional video coding which encodes a video clip once and for all, the scalable video enables the composition of multiple clips in different specifications into a single bitstream and provides feasible mechanisms to adapt to the changing needs of networks or applications. With the finalization of the scalable extension of legacy H.264/AVC, i.e., Scalable Video Coding (SVC), the exploration on the potentials of coding, adaptation, scheduling and resource allocation becomes more interesting. Especially with the era of mobile internet, the exponential growth in demand for wireless video puts the scalable video to the spotlight, considering its high coding efficiency and feasible rate adaptation capability. Due to the error-prone and resource scarcity nature of the wireless networks, it is critical that efficient and effective resource allocation and packet scheduling schemes can be developed to deal with the underlying challenges. A comprehensive scheme always lies in the joint investigations on the video characteristics and the network specifications. Video content analysis focuses mainly on coding and the optimization of rate-utility (rate-distortion), scalability-rate, scalability-quality (PSNR, MOS, QoE), and so on. Meanwhile, resource allocation and packet scheduling normally consider the specifications of wireless networks from different Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) layers. In this thesis, scalable video streaming over wireless networks is investigated and evaluated in several typical wireless systems, through which we hope to inspire new research on this topic and foster its deployment in practical systems. The main contributions and achievements of this thesis are summarized below: 1. The first contribution of this thesis is the proposal of efficient packet prioritization and scheduling schemes for scalable video streaming over WLANs. The work provides an inspiration on how to apply the conventional unequal error protection strategy into scalable video transmissions and shows a novel way to deal with the network congestion issue in best effort networks. 2. This thesis also devotes to the fast scalable video rate adaptation. The fast adaptation scheme answers for how to obtain the maximal video quality in real-time scalable video adaptation and also provides effective tool to facilitate the video streaming applications. 3. The third contribution concerns a scalable resource allocation framework for SVC video streaming over MIMO-OFDM networks. By skillfully utilizing the feature of scalable video, the scalable framework renders a novel way to tackle the conventional dilemma in fair versus efficient design in multiuser resource allocation problems. 4. Based on a subjective video quality assessment database, the thesis summarizes various scalability adaptation tracks for QoE-aware rate adaptation. This thesis also constructs a rate-QoE model, which favors the understanding of scalable video adaptation and also facilitates the analysis in QoE-aware video streaming.

Theories in Business Management
by Danielle Smyth
Published on 28 Nov 2018
Managing a business is not easy. Depending on the sort of company you run and its specific needs, there are countless strategies for managing employees, growth and productivity. In part because the running of a business can be so overwhelming, a series of business management theories have developed over time. Learning about and following these schools of thought can help you to run your business.
What is the Theory of Business?
"The Theory of Business" is a Harvard Business Review classic work by business theorist Peter Drucker. Published by Drucker in 1994, this piece centers on the notion that businesses in the modern era suffer from a lack of direction when it comes to what to do. Drucker argues that, in many cases, the right things have historically been done by the business, but that the assumptions that once led the company to success are no longer valid in the current market for a variety of reasons. These assumptions, which cover the potential customers, staffing needs and strengths of the business, are what Drucker calls his "theory of business." In this way, he explains, business theories are actually specific to a company, rather than one overarching notion that can be applied universally. Each business needs to determine what its own theory has been and adapt it going forward to find maximum success.
What Are Principles of Management?
Management theories are widespread, but one thing is fairly commonly accepted: Management can be broken down into four basic principles, all cogs in a wheel. Each must be properly executed to achieve a well-managed staff. These four principles are planning, leading, organizing and controlling.
Often, employees don't actually see any of the planning or organizing that goes on behind the closed door of their manager's office. Effective managers, however, must engage in these activities. Planning is essential, because it creates a detailed approach for reaching one or more of the organization's goals. Without this, employees are working without much direction. Organizing requires managers to determine how they will allocate the resources that have been made available to them and subsequently how they task their employees with various projects.
Leading and controlling are much easier to identify when you're considering the behaviors of your manager. Leading entails connecting with employees on a personal level and determining what inspires them. From there, a good manager can encourage success and career-oriented growth in their staff. Controlling, of course, is a necessary aspect of any manager's role. Managers have been tasked with overseeing a portion of their company, so it's imperative that they ensure all directives are met and that no one is acting contrary to the organization's goals. At times, the principle of control can lead to disciplinary action if a staff member is not acting properly.
Famous Management Theories
There are a number of well-known theories in management, including Max Weber's Bureaucratic Theory, which he described in 1905. Weber's theory relies on strict rules, clear job distinctions and hierarchy of authority. He advocated hiring based solely on finding the most skilled person, regardless of that person's personality or how well he might "fit" with the rest of the employees. Workers weren't supposed to chitchat under Weber's theory, anyway, because work was a place to accomplish tasks, not make friends. He would have disdained many of today's practices, such as collaboration, flexibility and thinking "outside the box." To Weber, working inside the clearly defined box was ideal, while managers skulked around taking notes on behaviors that needed to be reprimanded.
Douglas McGregor's X Y Theory is nearly the polar opposite of Weber's Bureaucratic Theory. In 1960, McGregor defined Theory X as the idea that workers were just cogs in a wheel who needed to be bullied and punished in order to do their work accurately (which sounds like he was referring to Weber's theory). McGregor's Y Theory said that it was natural for people to want to work and feel proud of what they accomplished. Those who felt engaged at work enjoyed their work, felt fulfilled by it, and would become self-starters making creative decisions. McGregor's XY Theory is still widely used today.
Since management is less a science than an art, it's usually effective to combine multiple theories until you identify the formula that is most productive for your company and your specific team. An individualized strategy tends to yield the best results.

Ask an Expert: Living in snake country – six things to consider
Written by Terry Messmer, Utah State University Extension wildlife specialist
Western rattlesnake strike ready
For many, the sight of a snake is what nightmares are made of. Unfortunately, all too often Hollywood and has taken advantage of people's fear of snakes for profit. Some companies may also market products or services that are ineffective at repelling snakes, and in some cases, these products may actually increase the risk to people and pets.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control estimates that 6,000 to 8,000 people are bitten by venomous snake annually and that up to six snake bite victims may die. Annually, an estimated 90 human deaths occur from various venomous animal encounters. The stings and subsequent anaphylaxis from bees, wasps and hornets are responsible for over 90% of the reported human deaths.
Of the 31 species of snakes found in Utah, seven are venomous. These are commonly called pit vipers because of the pit located between their nostrils and eyes. Most pit vipers found in Utah also have tails with a series of rattles, hence the name rattlesnake.
All snakes are classified as non-game animals and are protected by Utah state law. A person cannot lawfully collect or possess a live wild snake without receiving a Certificate of Registration from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. When there are human, domestic pet and livestock safety concerns, a venomous snake may be killed without a certificate.
Because most snakes in Utah are non-venomous, most human-snake encounters are generally not dangerous. However, if you encounter a venomous snake and are bitten, the consequences could be serious. Consider these tips.
* If you encounter a snake, your best strategy is to leave it alone. Every year, hundreds of want-to-be herpetologists and snake charmers are bitten when they try to capture or kill a snake. Even dead snakes have been known to bite by reflex action. More than half of the reported snake bites were a result of someone trying to handle or kill the snake. It is always best to leave the area if you encounter one.
* When rattlesnakes are encountered or disturbed, the rapid vibration of their tails will make a characteristic rattling sound to warn the intruder of their presence. However, not all rattlesnakes will "rattle" when disturbed. For this reason, when you are in rattlesnake country, you must pay close attention to where you walk, sit and place your hands. Rattlesnakes can be found throughout Utah in sagebrush, pinon-juniper woodlands, sand dunes, rocky hillsides, grasslands and mountain forests.
* If you hear a rattlesnake "rattle," stand still until you can locate where the sound is coming from. Do not try to jump or run. If you do, you may end up within the snake's striking range.
* If bitten by a venomous snake, do not engage in physical activity such as walking or running. Do not apply a tourniquet to the area above the wound and do not apply a cold compress to the bite area. Do not cut into the bite. Do not take anything by mouth, including stimulants or pain medications, unless instructed by a physician. Do not raise the bite area above the level of the heart, and do not try to suction the venom, as doing so may cause more harm than good.
* All venomous snakebites should be considered life threatening. When someone has been bitten by a venomous snake, time is of the essence. If possible, call ahead to the emergency room so anti-venom can be ready when the victim arrives. Until then, keep the victim calm, restrict movement and keep the affected area below heart level to reduce the flow of venom. Wash the bite area with soap and water. Remove any rings or constricting items, as the affected area will swell. Cover the bite with clean, moist dressing to reduce swelling and discomfort. Monitor the victim's vital signs (pulse, temperature, breathing, blood pressure). If there are signs of shock, lay the victim flat and cover with a warm blanket. Get medical help immediately. If possible, bring in the dead snake for identification if this can be done without risk of injury.
* Bites from venomous snakes will almost instantly show signs of swelling and discoloration of the surrounding tissue. Other symptoms include a tingling sensation, nausea, rapid pulse, loss of muscle coordination and weakness. Also, bites from rattlesnakes will show two characteristic fang marks (punctures) as well as other teeth marks. Non-venomous snakebites are harmless, but there is still a risk of infection. If bitten, clean and sterilize the wound much like you would a cut or abrasion.

Why are X-rays used in crystallography?
Can any other wavelength of electromagnetic radiation be used? Why can't gamma radiation be used?
crystal-structure solid-state-chemistry structural-formula x-ray-diffraction
shre_sudh_97shre_sudh_97
There are a few reasons, but the most direct answer is that the wavelength of X-ray photons is on the order of the distance between atomic nuclei in solids, e.g. ~ 4 ångströms (bonds are roughly 1.5-2.5 Å). You can think of it like the waves fit nice and snugly between the atoms and "fill" the crystal and thereby give us information about where the "cavities" are, and thus by reciprocal analysis (inverse Fourier transform) we can determine where the "rigid" stuff is (the atoms).
Other kinds of incident radiation are used e.g. neutron beams (for crystallography) and even electron beams (for surface spectroscopy), but X-rays are a more readily available source of radiation. In other words, it's easier/cheaper to produce X-rays than a beam of pure neutrons.
Gamma rays are about 100 times smaller in wavelength than X-rays (so instead of 4 Å, something like 0.04 Å, and so they generally penetrate through any solid material and don't produce a clear diffraction pattern like X-rays. Also if I'm not mistaken, it is much more difficult to produce gamma rays.
It's important to realize that diffraction is not the same as reflection and refraction. The latter two are surface phenomena - diffraction is a bulk phenomena completely unrelated to surfaces.
Electrons interact strongly with the surface of solids not only because of their charge but their energetic wavelength - gamma rays interact very weakly with a bulk crystal and go right through it. X-rays and neutrons (bearing no charge) are in the "happy medium" and produce a sufficient interaction with crystals as to give information about the arrangement of particles.

$\begingroup$ To be more specific, the most common X-ray wavelengths used in crystallography are 0.7 and 1.5Å. $\endgroup$ – Ivan Neretin Mar 2 '16 at 13:00
$\begingroup$ Indeed -- those are the wavelengths that correspond to atomic bonds. X-rays are categorically described in the range 0.1 - 100A, so crystallography is a pretty specific application of x-ray energy. $\endgroup$ – khaverim Mar 2 '16 at 14:17

Hillary Clinton struggled to fight back a coughing fit while campaigning in Cleveland, Ohio, on Monday.
"I've been talking so much," Clinton said with a hoarse voice. "Every time I think about Trump, I get allergic."
The former secretary of state has suffered from coughing fits at times throughout the Democratic presidential primary.
However the frog in Clinton's throat on Monday was one of the most aggressive she's had during her 2016 run and left her almost unable to finish her remarks.
After the event, campaign aides attributed it to allergies.

Tech In All Its Humanity
Slide Over: Limited, but still Useful
It's been about a month and a half now since iOS 9 came out. In general, I like it a lot (except for the new app switcher), and everything is running smoothly. Not the least of the new features of iOS 9 were the iPad multitasking features. Unfortunately, the coolest ones – where you can actually run two apps at a time – are limited to the latest model iPad of each size (the iPad Air 2, Mini 4, and Pro). However, there are two features that are supported on my iPad Mini 2.
The first is picture-in-picture. This allows you to watch a video in a smaller window while using another app. This is useful, but I don't watch a whole lot of video on my iPad. However, I bet it'll be great watching movies on our next road trip.
The second feature is the one that I actually get use out of: slide over. This allows a second, iPhone-width app to "slide over" the one you're currently using. Like this:
Tweetbot over Music
Messages is the most useful
But really, it's best in landscape
At first, I thought this wasn't going to be very helpful. The newer iPads can have one app take of that width of the screen all the time, with the app to the left still fully functional. This seems way more useful to me, especially since my iPad case makes sliding from the side of the screen over and over again kind of a pain. So going into this feature, I was ready to be disappointed.
But honestly, it's still really nice. By far the most useful thing you can do here is reply to messages without leaving the app you're in. This seemed redundant to me at first, since you could already do that with actionable notifications. However, pulling down to reply with iMessage has been slow and laggy in iOS 9, so it's not as useful anymore. Also, you can only send one message in reply. If you want to send more than one, or a picture, you're out of luck. However, with slide over, you can just pull the Messages app onto screen. It's not just a reply box, it's the full Messages app (well the full iPhone messages app at least). It works really well and then when you're done you just tap on the app you were using before and it slides off the screen. Neat.
It's not without flaws. If I'm watching a YouTube video, slide over pauses it, because the first app doesn't really continue running in the background; it just freezes. And again, if I'm having a conversation with someone, I have to keep pulling Messages onto the screen, instead of it just leaving it there. In other words, I wish my iPad could use all of the new multitasking features. But as a first step, slide over is definitely useful, and it makes my iPad better and easier to use. ••
