For real values of $ x $ and $ a $, if the expression $ \frac{x+a}{2x^2 - 3x + 1} $ assumes all real values, then:
If \( L, M, N \) are the midpoints of the sides PQ, QR, and RP of triangle \( \Delta PQR \), then \( \overline{QM} + \overline{LN} + \overline{ML} + \overline{RN} - \overline{MN} - \overline{QL} = \):
