![]() Once you download an ebook, it becomes apart of your Kobo library so that you can download it to other Kobo-supported devices and Kobo applications and sync the ebooks across platforms. There's even a section of free ebooks-and the device comes with 100 free classics pre-installed. The ebook store has a nice clean layout with lots of categories and searching options. Periodicals will download automatically on dates they are delivered with auto-delivery enabled.īrowsing the Kobo ebook store is easy and relatively fast loading. The Kobo can connect to the Kobo ebook store for downloading ebooks and periodicals via WiFi, but not to any other sources. There also seems to be some kind of optical illusion that makes the text appear darker when the Reader is black. The Pearl screens are nice but they are slightly overrated. Despite the fact that it doesn't have the new higher-contrast Pearl display like the Kindles and Sony Readers, the contrast and darkness of the text on the Vizplex screen is still worthy of respect (here's a close-up picture). Overall, the reading experience on the Kobo WiFi is its best quality. You can jump between letters or pages and view the ebooks as a list, by covers, or by both. Those sections are further broken down alphabetically by title, author, and last read. For now it remembers the last page read.įor organization, the Kobo WiFi has different sections for books, newspapers and magazines, and documents. It doesn't have bookmarks, but that's something expected to be coming via firmware update sometime soon. Also, side-loaded EPUB ebooks show page numbers in the margin where Kobo ebooks do not.Īside from that, there aren't any advanced features like adding notes or highlights, no search, no jump to page, and no margin or spacing adjustments. Two, there's an option to force justification left. From the menu you can jump to the next and previous chapters and move between chapters using the table of contents.įor ebooks downloaded from the Kobo ebook store there are a couple of added features that aren't available for side-loaded ebooks. The Kobo Wireless has 5 different text sizes when reading EPUB ebooks and two font types, serif and sans-serif. While reading you can press the center of the navigation button to bring up the Menu, and press the up and down buttons on the nav controller to change font size. There are four buttons that run along the left edge for Home, Menu, Shop, and Back. I do wish it had some page turn buttons on the right side of the screen though, to make it easier to hold one-handed. The back panel and navigation wheel have a nice textured, rubbery feel to them. You can download all your books from the Kobo book store with it, including free ebooks, or add your own ebooks via computer.Įrgonomically, it has good balance and is comfortable to hold. The WiFi connection gives it the ability to be completely independent. Much like the Kindle, it is designed to be an ereader that anyone can easily learn to use, even without needing to use a computer. To top that off the things the Kobo WiFi does do it does well. ![]() The Nook isn't available outside the US and falls into a sub-niche with the color LCD screen, the Kindle doesn't support Adobe EPUB and PDF, the Sony Readers cost more and don't have wireless-that all combines to give the Kobo its own unique market. ![]() It doesn't have as many features as the Kindle, Sony Readers, or Nook: It doesn't have the new Pearl screen, it doesn't have any kind of note-taking or highlighting capabilities, and there's no touchscreen or web browser.īut it does have its own advantages. ![]() To be honest, I really wasn't expecting much from the Kobo WiFi because I know that it falls into the category of a basic ebook reader. ![]() Kobo WiFi Reviewįor various reasons I never got around to reviewing the original Kobo eReader that came out earlier this year, so this review comes from the perspective of someone new to the Kobo Reader.

When you do need to slow down, do not remove your foot from the brake or pump the pedal if you have anti-lock brakes, AAA advises.

In an interview with NPR's All Songs Considered, Lewis remarked that she wanted to name the group Love's Way (after her parents' lounge act in Las Vegas), but Sennett "didn't go for it." Originally asked to sing back-up vocals by Sennett, Lewis refused to join the band unless she was able to sing lead vocals. In 1998, Lewis and friends Pierre De Reeder, Dave Rock, and then-boyfriend Blake Sennett formed the band Rilo Kiley. In 2015, she appeared in the Netflix movie A Very Murray Christmas as a waitress and sang a few songs, including " Baby, It's Cold Outside" with Bill Murray. She continued acting until 1998, although her final movie – Don's Plum, filmed 1995–96 – went unreleased until 2001. She played Beverly D'Angelo's daughter in the 1996 made-for-TV film Sweet Temptation. She played the part of Evangeline "Eva" Saint Claire in the 1987 film version of Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, and also appeared in the 1988 made-for-TV film A Friendship in Vienna, set in Vienna at the start of the Holocaust. She was featured in the 1996 made-for-TV movie Talk to Me with Yasmine Bleeth, as well as the films Foxfire, Big Girls Don't Cry.

To preserve branch_name's conflicting changes. While use git merge -s recursive -X ours develop Then if you need to merge these changes with another branch while where there are any conflicts, preserving the changes in develop, use: git merge -s recursive -X theirs develop Git commit -m "Reset to upstream/develop" I'm using the develop branch as an example, but it can be any existing branch name. On GitHub, you can also checkout the branch with the same name as the local one, in order to save the work there, although this isn't necessary if origin develop has the same changes as the local saved-work branch. of the original GitHub repo that you forked from, and/or git remote add origin. If you want to reset your local branch to the latest commit in the upstream branch, what works for me so far is:Ĭheck your remotes, make sure your upstream and origin are what you expect, if not as expected then use git remote add upstream, e.g. Otherwise in future avoid pushing to a branch that others push to, instead checkout and push to the said branch via the checked out branch. So the above should only be used if you have happened to commit changes to a branch that others have committed to, and need to reset. Same thing for other branches that others contribute to. Thus you only need to pull changes, not push any changes from master. Note that it is good practice not to make changes to your local master/develop branch, but instead checkout to another branch for any change, with the branch name prepended by the type of change, e.g. ![]() This is what I use often: git fetch upstream develop ![]() If you accidentally do this on the current branch (and git will not keep you from this), you may become confused, because the new branch content does not match the working tree, which did not change (to fix, update the branch again, to where it was before). ![]() Use caution when doing this, though, and use gitk or a similar tool to double check source and destination. This is especially helpful if multiple branches need to be updated to new remote heads. It simply moves mybranch's head to another commit, whatever is given as the second argument. This method leaves the checked out branch as it is, and the working tree untouched. If branch "mybranch" is not currently checked out, to reset it to remote branch "myremote/mybranch"'s head, you can use this low-level command: git update-ref refs/heads/mybranch myremote/mybranch Since there is at least one "duplicate" question, Reset branch completely to repository state, which does not assume that the branch is checked out, here's an alternative: In comments, OP hap497 clarified that the branch is indeed checked out, but this is not explicitly required by the original question. Previous answers assume that the branch to be reset is the current branch (checked out). Otherwise, you should be aware that it's not recommended to push into a non-bare repository (and not into the currently checked-out branch, in particular). Did you recently push into your local repo? If not, then no worries - something else must have caused these files to unexpectedly end up modified. ![]() By default, Github now uses origin/main for new projects to conform with industry standards.īTW, this situation that you're in looks an awful lot like a common case where a push has been done into the currently checked out branch of a non-bare repository. Note that the first example assumes that the remote repo's name is "origin" and that the branch named "master" in the remote repo matches the currently checked-out branch in your local repo. Now your work is saved on the branch "my-saved-work" in case you decide you want it back (or want to look at it later or diff it against your updated branch). If you want to save your current branch's state before doing this (just in case), you can do: git commit -a -m "Saving my work, just in case" Setting your branch to exactly match the remote branch can be done in two steps: git fetch origin ![]() ![]() Land Rover Range Rover Sport Rivals: It locks horns with the BMW X5, Porsche Cayenne, and Mercedes-Benz GLE.

![]() ![]() Other American cities did not follow until the 1850s, after which the "animal railway" became an increasingly common feature in the larger towns. It was followed in 1835 by the New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad in New Orleans, Louisiana, which still operates as the St. The New York and Harlem Railroad's Fourth Avenue Line ran along the Bowery and Fourth Avenue in New York City. There are records of a street railway running in Baltimore as early as 1828, however the first authenticated streetcar in America, was the New York and Harlem Railroad developed by the Irish coach builder John Stephenson, in New York City which began service in the year 1832. Running the horsecars on rails allowed for a much smoother ride. Street railways developed in America before Europe, largely due to the poor paving of the streets in American cities which made them unsuitable for horsebuses, which were then common on the well-paved streets of European cities. The Swansea and Mumbles Railway was something of a one-off however, and no street tramway would appear in Britain until 1860 when one was built in Birkenhead by the American George Francis Train. It was worked by steam from 1877, and then, from 1929, by very large (106-seater) electric tramcars, until closure in 1960. The service closed in 1827, but was restarted in 1860, again using horses. The British Parliament passed the Mumbles Railway Act in 1804, and horse-drawn service started in 1807. The world's first passenger train or tram was the Swansea and Mumbles Railway, in Wales, UK. Established in 1804, the railway service was the world's first. Ī horse-drawn tram operated by Swansea and Mumbles Railway, 1870. In 2014, the Aubagne tramway in Southern France became the first tram system in the world not to charge fares. However, trams have seen resurgence in recent years. Improvements in other vehicles such as buses led to decline of trams in the mid 20th century. Electric trams largely replaced animal power in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. ![]() Another factor which contributed to the rise of trams was the high total cost of ownership of horses. One of the advantages over earlier forms of transit was the low rolling resistance of metal wheels on steel rails, allowing the trams to haul a greater load for a given effort. Thus installation costs may be lower than traditional trains and trams. hydrogen, biomethane, battery, may mean reduced/eliminated OHL. They offer all the advantages of traditional trams but their lower weight, prefabricated beam type tracks offer the possibility of avoiding costly services diversions, lightweight OHL Over Head Lines and/or onboard power options e.g. They may be normal trams, rail motor sized and/or smaller modular units capable of platooning. Coventry Very Light Rail, ULR Partners future-light-rail or lower use branch train lines. Ultra Light Rail ULR trains are trams of a developing light weight rail type, around <5T/axle (empty), for use in smaller cities and towns to replace main bus routes e.g. The differences between these modes of rail transport are often indistinct and a given system may combine multiple features. Some trams, known as tram-trains, may have segments that run on mainline railway tracks, similar to interurban systems. Trams are now commonly included in the wider term " light rail", which also includes grade-separated systems. If necessary, they may have dual power systems-electricity in city streets and diesel in more rural environments. In some cases, a contact shoe on a third rail is used. Today, most trams use electrical power, usually fed by a pantograph sliding on an overhead line older systems may use a trolley pole or a bow collector. Tram vehicles are usually lighter and shorter than main line and rapid transit trains. In the United States, the term tram has sometimes been used for rubber-tired trackless trains, which are unrelated to other kinds of trams. To avoid further confusion with trolley buses, the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) refers to them as " trolley-replica buses". In parts of the United States, internally powered buses made to resemble a streetcar are often referred to as "trolleys". Streetcar or tramway are preferred in Canada. The first two terms are often used interchangeably in the United States, with trolley being the preferred term in the eastern US and streetcar in the western US. The vehicles are called streetcars or trolleys (not to be confused with trolleybus) in North America and trams or tramcars elsewhere. Many recently built tramways use the contemporary term light rail. ![]() The tramlines or networks operated as public transport are called tramways or simply trams/streetcars.
