There is no built-in support for JOIN ... USING in the active record class. Your best bet would probably change the join() function to be like this (the file is system/database/DB_active_rec. Php in case you don't know).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
