This isn't a post about how-to-not-fight Calvinists, because a clear theological dispute can be a good thing. It's a post about how-not-to-fight them; it's about one specific tactic that I think is both inaccurate and unproductive.
When a good, vigorous Calvinists-vs-Anticalvinists fight gets going, things tend to escalate quickly (to quote Will Ferrell, not Will Farel). And about the time the Calvinists start reaching for their big guns, the Anticalvinists reach for theirs: "The God of Calvinism is a False God," or "The God of Calvinism is a Devil," or "The God of Calvinism is Not Worthy of Worship," etc.
I'll treat this as an actual theological claim next, but consider it first as a rhetorical trope. You've got a good argument going, with some significant issues coming up: the nature of divine sovereignty, the basis of human moral accountability to God, concepts of human agency and freedom, the causal joint, the mode of the efficacy of grace, the character of God, the nature of evil, and more. A cluster of crucial Bible texts are under negotiation. There's enough agreement about fundamental issues to anchor a productive dispute. Now we're getting somewhere.
This is a big, blunt instrument when a smaller, sharper tool would have done the job. Real and important issues are on the line in disputes between Calvinists and Non- or Anticalvinists, but the crucial distinctions tend to be small in scale (though large in scope). Especially if you try to account for how Calvin's interpretation of the Bible's teaching on election is different from Thomas Aquinas', or from Augustine's, or from Luther's, you'll find you have to be pretty precise.
If you want to get anywhere in talking about Calvinism, you've got to leave the "God of Calvinism" trope in the toolbox; surely there must be something sharper in there.
But what if we take the claim in all seriousness? What if the Anticalvinist actually means that a different deity is the object of Calvinist worship? I doubt many Anticalvinists mean this. I suspect that the phrase "God of Calvinism" is supposed to function as shorthand for something like "the inaccurate description of God's character that Calvinism puts forth." But if so, this is a phrase that would be worth using the long version of, because the short version is a snare.
I think we need to keep the charge "another God" in reserve for things like other religions, specifically religious systems that narratively identify their God has having done things that the biblical God does not narratively identify himself as having done.
"You worship a different God" is really quite an enormous charge. And if theologizing wrong about something like election is enough to render a theologian a devotee of a different deity, I suppose there must be a thousand other theological errors that have the same power. One false move on the theology test and BANG you're committing gross idolatry.
That's my partial (and partially playful) case for why this tired trope should be retired. I do understand why some Anticalvinists use it: they view Calvinism as impugning God's character, and since this matters more than anything, they want to say so as starkly and arrestingly as possible. But even if that is the goal, it is not served effectively by barking out the cliché about "the God of Calvinism." It would be more effective to drop this shorthand and spell out more imaginatively what is going on.
You may be thinking, "Hey, Fletcher just played the 'different God' card." But I think his attack is different in kind from the dead metaphor of "the God of Calvinism." He specifies two moves that his opponents have made that leave them open to the charge of theologizing idolatrously: first, they identify the decrees with the divine essence, and second they obsess over them. I don't suppose anybody will accuse Fletcher of being too cozy with Calvinism. But even he doesn't just bluntly assert that "the God of Calvinism" is a different God. I think that's telling.


Antoinette Rouvroy is FNRS (National Fund for Scientific Research) research associate and researcher at the Information Technology and Law Research Centre (CRID) of the University of Namur, Belgium. She is particularly interested in the mechanisms of mutual production between sciences and technologies and cultural, political, economic and legal frameworks. Her doctoral research at the European University Institute of Florence (Human Genes and Neoliberal Governance: A Foucauldian Critique. Abingdon and New-York, Routledge-Cavendish, 2008), looked at the knowledge-power relations in the post-genomic era.


On September eleventh 2001, an international crime was committed against the people of the United States. That crime was classified as a WAR-CRIME without consultation with any actual authority. Within fifteen-minutes of the commission of the first part of that crime this government was already calling this a military-ATTACK upon the United States by some people from a cave inside Afghanistan. The declaration was assumed to be true without any corroboration from anyone in authority on that day. Later we learned that the bombing of Afghanistan had been planned for over two years, to support an oil-pipeline that needed protection.
Immediately after 'the attack' the surviving family members of those killed on 911 were paid off in cash to reduce the number of people who wanted answers for the events of that day—the paymaster was a Zionist who followed the same "plan" as was used the first time the towers were attacked.
"Kenneth Feinberg was appointed by Attorney General John Ashcroft to be Special Master of the fund. He worked for 33 months pro bono. He developed the regulations governing the administration of the fund and administered all aspects of the program.
This footnote is to remind people that we, as a nation, have virtually lost everything we ever cared about, because of the events of 911. We have lost our liberty, totally. We have lost our representative government, most people have lost their privacy, their freedoms, their property and their money, or they soon will if that has not yet happened to them. We have lost any claim that anyone might have thought they had on the right to have a future of any kind, beyond a prison camp of the government's choosing.
The USA claims only 237 years of our supposed history: But there was an additional 400 years which preceded the 237 years. During those 400 years we savagely liquidated the native population, while we used, abused and profited massively from slavery as a huge part of our global-commercial-world. Technically the U.S. has been doing what it does for over 637 years—and that's a fact.
Personally thousands now lose their lives daily, either through arrest, intimidation, torture, or capture—because they are judged to be guilty of being law-abiding American citizens that choose to challenge the illegal government. Even "thought" is now classified as a crime, along with hundreds of other minor infractions that have been elevated to chargeable offenses. Because of a perceived threat to Homeland Security the entire world in America has been turned upside down.
Every man woman and child has been spied on since February of 2001, seven months before 911 happened.
During this entire period of time, throughout all the violent crimes and pretended attacks upon the public, including literally hundreds of our citizens that have been routinely tortured and murdered by police of all types under very different circumstances, with only the murder of individuals as the common denominator. Most of those who did the shooting the rapes the tortures or the murders were operating totally beyond any standards that were ever in practice before 911.
NO ONE inside the upper echelons of the military, the government, police, the congress or the courts have been charged with any of the crimes committed against the public either on 911 or thereafter.
The government chose to pass the blame for everything on to the American public. No one big has ever gone to jail for any of these massive crimes against the nation and its people. How was that possible?
The same man, who headed the FBI on that day, is still the director today. There were many promotions but no questions were seriously asked of anyone who was supposedly in-charge on 911. We've had three or four Attorney's General all of whom committed grave crimes from that office and none of them, or their superiors were ever even questioned.
The FBI, also returned over 200 Israeli spies and members of Mossad, back to Israel, by order of the FBI, about 45 days after 911 happened ~ no charges were ever filed against any of them either, despite the fact that they were caught in a rented truck full of explosives with a mural of the crash of the first plane into the towers displayed on the whole exterior of the truck  but were questioned and released by the FBI.
Numerous members of congress routinely demand that we alter our national policies to appease Israel, and no one ever questions this blatantly traitorous sell-out of this country to a foreign power. Neither Bush, nor Obama has been officially charged with anything  yet the entire nation has lost almost everything we ever had before 911. How is it that we have not chosen to arrest the people that have taken this country away form us?
Now the same people that were behind 911 are in the process of stealing what's left of our money, our medical care, our retirement funds and anything else of any value which the government can now seize at will—in the name of National Security, of course.
Our military and our police are trained in Israel, our Congress and our politicians now report directly to Israel. Our government agencies including the Department of Defense and State now answer to either Israel or the United Nations but not to the public of the United States of America. Worst of all Americans are not challenging this bunch of traitors that have totally taken over all the functions of congress, the courts and the puppet-show that is the White House. With every passing day this situation worsens.
What would "history" say about all this, if there is a history left to talk about; when these crimes have finished with their evil and tyrannical course? The public for their part has remained blissfully-ignorant of almost everything—or at least they were until USI switched from killing foreigners to killing Americans, just last year. 72 million more people have purchased guns since Obama took over, and that number has to be added to all the guns already available here.
Now twelve years further on from that star-crossed day in 2001, still the public refuses to demand real answers, nor justice from those that did these crimes and have made trillions in the deal? This was never-before equaled in the history of the planet—and they are not done yet!
There's a new-piece in this quagmire that will provide the game-changer that no one will be able to endure. It's the totally malignant and completely twisted financial rulings that are meant to rearrange the relationship between people and the institutions we call "the banks." Below is Frustration ~ Satisfaction, and it's what the government is using to steal everything you had!
This however is the key that this government is about to use, to implement the shutdown of this nation. Once this begins the money held by those with real-money will no longer be able to keep their businesses up and running; so jobs will disappear overnight. The rest of us who will try to get our money out of the banks (during the run the government will create), will find that everything they believed in will suddenly no longer exist.
This nightmare will trigger what no one has thought much about. The end of jobs for millions of wage-slaves that will have no where to go, and no way to challenge what will happen  think about that! The vast number of people who are Armed-Americans will immediately be able to see why they have those weapons, and millions will use them.
Until now the Americans who are armed have remained hesitant because everyone knows that once their weapons are drawn or used against the OUTLAWS: There can be no going back, to where we are now. But once the banks make this financial-grab none of that will matter anymore! When criminal-intent is made clear behind the 'authorities' in charge (Throughout the world): Then everyone behind this global-crime will suddenly be NAKED for everyone-else to see  and there will be a bloodbath, but not the one the government planned on!

UK firms face unsightly reality of Qatar's global ambitions
The challenge for UK firms is a serious one - how to conform to the industry's best practices which they preach in a country where the standard practice is so poor?
Nicholas McGeehan
As British and Qatari Royals inaugurated the Shard - London's newest tower and the tallest building in Europe – last week, an equally significant event with an altogether lower profile had just drawn to a close across town. The Qatari-funded Shard's 310 metres may have garnered the column inches, with some commentators objecting on aesthetic grounds, but the attention of the UK construction industry was fixed firmly on Qatar itself and the $140 billion in contracts discussed at the Qatar Infrastructure Projects conference in London's Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel. British industry should beware: it is queuing up to enter a market characterised by regulatory shortcomings and serious exploitation.
Qatar's construction boom is the result of its winning bid for the 2022 World Cup, for which it has committed to build nine new stadiums and to undertake massive infrastructure projects. Qatari nationals number only 300,000 yet the country plans to spend $39 billion (a staggering 10 per cent of gross domestic product) on projects and infrastructure this year and next, according to a June 2012 report from the Qatar General Secretariat for Development Planning. It is estimated that nearly one million extra workers from countries such as India, Bangladesh and Nepal will be required to meet the demand for labour over the next ten years.
At the London conference, which was organised privately rather than by the Qatari government, a brochure outlining how to do business in Qatar observed that "the low-paid construction worker is, in theory, treated in the same manner as a highly paid lawyer". The theory is quite correct, but as a recent investigation by Human Rights Watch showed, it bears no relation to reality. South Asian labourers typically work 10 hours a day, six days a week in temperatures that often exceed 40C. Many endure unpaid wages, illegal salary deductions, or crowded and unsanitary residential camps.
Qatari law prohibits the confiscation of passports, yet almost all workers interviewed by Human Rights Watch reported that their passports had been confiscated on arrival. Qatari law prohibits employers and manpower agents from charging recruitment fees, yet 69 of the 73 workers interviewed by Human Rights Watch had paid recruitment fees of between $726 and $3651. A World Bank study from 2011 found that agent commission fees of between $17 and $34 million flow annually from Nepal (GNI/capita $438) to Qatar (GNI/capita $61,532) One academic called it a system "fully capable of separating [workers] from the tiny fortunes they and their families have invested in sending them to the Gulf in the first place".
The Qatari government routinely and rigorously enforces some of its laws - those that grant employers extensive control over migrant workers. Its most problematic regulations include the kafala system of sponsorship-based employment, which ties workers to one employer; and an exit visa requirement, which allows employers to prevent workers from leaving the country without their permission.
The Qatari Ministry of Labour told Human Rights Watch that it was "inconceivable" that forced labour existed in the country. Quite the contrary is true. In view of the inadequacies of the legal and regulatory framework in Qatar, UK construction firms will have to take positive steps to ensure that workers' conditions do not amount to forced labour.
With business at home weak, British construction firms are eagerly eyeing the Qatari market. Activity in the UK construction domestic sector fell last month at its fastest pace in more than two and-a-half years and output and new orders have fallen significantly since the turn of the year. The challenge for UK firms is therefore a serious one - how to conform to the industry's best practices which they preach in a country where the standard practice is so poor?
This is a challenge they must be prepared to meet if they want their public corporate responsibility commitments to be anything other than rhetoric. There is cause for cautious optimism, as the Qatari government says that it is considering revising some labour laws. The Shard now provides an ever-visible, pointed reminder of Qatari wealth. Qatar faces few financial barriers to reforming its labour market, but that reform will not happen overnight, and in the areas where the government has pledged reform its plans do not meet international standards.
The awkward reality for UK firms is that they will have to go beyond Qatari laws and standards if they are to adhere to their own codes of conduct, protect their reputations, and ensure the rights of their workforce. At the very least, this should mean that the firms should commit publicly to fair treatment: no workers will be charged recruitment fees and any who pay will be reimbursed, all workers will retain their passports, and all projects will be subject to independent monitoring to ensure that workers receive monthly salaries without illegal deductions, and can quit their jobs without fearing imprisonment and deportation.
It is the Shard which has provoked a backlash from aesthestes, but it is among the foreign labourers of Doha where the unsightly reality of Qatar's global ambitions is most obviously manifest.
Nicholas McGeehan is working as a special advisor to Human Rights Watch on its campaign to improve migrant workers' rights in Qatar in the run up to the 2022 World Cup.

BGCT Executive Board OKs $1 million loan to BUA

Ken Camp / Managing Editor
DALLAS—The Baptist General Convention of Texas Executive Board unanimously approved a $1 million loan, a $250,000 gift and a $250,000 challenge grant to financially beleaguered Baptist University of the Américas.
"BUA is in a critical financial position," BGCT Executive Director David Hardage said.
Information provided to the executive board indicated BUA has $260,000 outstanding letters of credit, $268,000 outstanding for building maintenance contracts and $180,000 in past-due accounts payable and payroll taxes.
Both Van Christian, chair of the BUA board of trustees and pastor of First Baptist Church in Comanche, and Abraham Jaquez, who has been on the job as BUA president about a month, emphasized the institution's survival depended on assistance from the BGCT.
Christian, a former chair of the BGCT Executive Board, acknowledged the numerous times in its history BUA has appealed to the convention's governing board for financial assistance.
"It is hard for me to stand before you this morning," he said. "I understand BUA fatigue. … But we need your help. The 10 months we were without a president almost destroyed us."
René Maciel resigned effective Oct. 16 last year as BUA president to become community life pastor at First Woodway Baptist Church in Waco. BUA's board of trustees elected Jaquez in July and he began work as BUA president Aug. 21.
During the interim between Maciel's departure and Jazquez's arrival, the school sustained a $500,000 loss when a major donor withdrew support, and other significant contributors also decreased or suspended their gifts, Christian noted.
"BUA is donor-driven, not tuition-driven," he explained.
BUA intentionally has kept tuition low—currently $265 an hour—to make Christian higher education available and affordable to students who would not otherwise be able to afford it, Jaquez noted.
However, the school will need to implement incremental increases in tuition over the next few years, while at the same time broadening and deepening its donor pool and expanding its scholarship endowment, he added.
Christian commended Jaquez for bringing to the trustees a detailed business plan with 90-day, six-month and 10-year goals and objectives. Jaquez also instituted an immediate hiring freeze and cost-cutting measures.
The loan to BUA approved by the BGCT Executive Board was modeled after a precedent set in the early 1980s, when Dallas Baptist College faced significant financial challenges, BGCT Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer Jill Larsen noted. At the time, a study committee recommended a loan and gift to the Dallas school with certain stipulations to create fund-raising incentives.
As approved by the board, the BGCT will make a $1 million 10-year loan to BUA, available at no interest for five years and at 5 percent per year for five years. For each $1 million BUA raises in endowment funds in the first five years, the interest will be reduced by 1 percent.

The board's finance committee added to the original recommendation the $250,000 outright gift to BUA to help with its immediate cash-flow crisis and the $250,000 challenge grant to encourage financial development initiatives.
Funds for the loan and gifts are made available from the BGCT wills and trusts distributions reserve fund, which has a $7.7 million investment value.
During discussion at the board meeting, several directors raised questions but echoed the same sentiments: "We need BUA."
Six out of 10 students at BUA are Hispanic, and about 60 percent of the Hispanic staff in Texas Baptist churches attended BUA. However, 28 countries—including many outside Latin America—are represented in the school's student body.
"It's not just about Hispanics. It's about cross-cultural missions," said Rolando Aguirre of McAllen, president of the Hispanic Baptist Convention of Texas. "Let's give them a chance."
Board proposes 2018 budget
In another major item of business, the BGCT Executive Board also approved a 2018 budget proposal that projects flat Cooperative Program receipts but a slight increase in funds available through investment income and other sources.
Messengers to the BGCT annual meeting Nov. 12-14 in Waco will vote on 2018 budget allocations of $34.25 million, up $250,000 from the current spending plan.
The 2018 budget proposal depends on $29.6 million in Cooperative Program receipts from churches, equal to the amount in the 2017 budget. However, the recommended budget anticipates 4.65 million in investment income, compared to the projected $4.4 million this year.
In addition, the 2017 budget includes more than $2.8 million in additional revenue from the North American Mission Board, conference and booth fees, product sales and other miscellaneous sources.
So, the proposed 2017 operating budget will total $37,135,129, compared to this year's goal of $36,638,274.
The board also approved continued division of undesignated receipts from affiliated churches, with 79 percent allocated for the BGCT and 21 percent for worldwide causes. Each church determines the recipient or recipients of its worldwide giving. The board proposal approves $1,161,000 for Texas worldwide missions initiatives and partnerships, compared to $1.3 million in 2017.
In other business, the board:
Elected as chair Dennis Young, pastor of Missouri City Baptist Church in Houston, and as vice chair Craig Christina, pastor of Shiloh Terrace Baptist Church in Dallas.
Authorized the sale of the Baptist Student Ministry facility at the University of Texas at Austin for $8.7 million to a developer. The BSM subsequently will purchase up to 14,000 square feet of property in the building constructed on that site. The BGCT will pay closing costs, lease temporary space, and finish out and furnish the purchased space at a cost not to exceed $2.1 million. At the completion of the project, about $3.8 million in proceeds will be invested in a board-designated endowment to benefit Baptist Student Ministry.
Approved $350,000 of investment income from the J.K. Wadley Mission Fund for church starts and $100,000 of current income from the same fund for campus missionary interns in 2018.
Recommended a change in relationship between the convention and Baptist Community Services of Amarillo. Messengers to the BGCT annual meeting will be asked to allow Baptist Community Services to change from an affiliated institution to a relationship with the convention by special agreement that allows the foundation greater flexibility in developing programs and electing its directors.
Approved changes to the certificate of formation for Dallas Baptist University to bring its language in line with other governing documents.
Amended policies to reflect changes to the BGCT Executive Board organizational structure.
Amended a request granting the Korean Baptist Fellowship of Texas status as a recognized fellowship of the BGCT until the fellowship asks for recognition and a BGCT review affirms its eligibility. The fellowship previously had requested recognition but withdrew the request after a change in its elected leadership.
Agreed to enlist the services of the Weaver & Tidwell accounting firm to conduct the 2017 financial audit at an estimated cost of $49,500.
Approved the purchase of new church relationship management software.
The board also filled vacancies on councils, commissions and coordinating teams by electing:
Betty Booth from First Baptist Church in Tyler and Jimmy Garcia from First Baptist Church in Duncanville to the Baptist Distinctives Council.
Bob Page from River Pointe Community Baptist Church in Richmond, Texas, and Todd Combee from New Bethesda Baptist Church in Mechanicsville, Va., to the Chaplain Endorsement Council.
Brenda Rincones from Mighty Fortress Church in San Antonio, Delcia Chisholm from Coastal Bend Fellowship in Kingsville, Elmo Johnson from Rose of Sharon Baptist Church in Houston and Daniel "Tiny" Dominguez from Community Heights Baptist Church in Lubbock to the Christian Life Commission.
Darin Wood from First Baptist Church in Midland and Tedye Schuehler from Victory Life Church in Lubbock to the Evangelism Strategic Planning Council.
Irma Alvarado from First Baptist Church in Donna, Oliver Martinez from Iglesia Bautista Getsemani in Fort Worth and Rafael Muñoz from Erez Church in Terrell to the Hispanic Education Initiative Council.
Dan Turner from Park Cities Baptist Church in Dallas, Laura Edmondson from First Baptist Church in Saginaw, Joe Fields from New Beginnings Baptist Church in Lewisville, Harold Davidson from The Cowboy Church of Corsicana and Patti Jones from South Oaks Baptist Church in Arlington to the Missions Funding Council.
Terry Henderson from First Baptist Church in Sachse, state disaster relief director for Texas Baptist Men, to the Missions Mobilization Coordinating Team.
Dean Dickens from South Garland Baptist Church in Garland, Bill Brian from First Baptist Church in Amarillo, Malcolm Watson from First Baptist Church in Lindale, Pat Hyde from First Baptist Church in Kenedy, Bob Moore from First Baptist Church in Hamlin, Jim Newman from First Baptist Church in Frisco, David Lake from South Springs Baptist Church in Tyler and JoAnn Botts from First Baptist Church in Plano to the Texas Baptist Missions Foundation Council.
Craig Curry from First Baptist Church in Plano and Larry Parsley from Valley Ranch Baptist Church in Coppell to the Theological Education Council.

Executive Board approves decreased 2019 BGCT budget


A Chiropractic patient of mine in Mississauga was reading a Chiropractic book titled Chiropractic – A Modern Way to Health from 1966 and revised in 1970 by Dr. Julius Dintenfass. The title page adds, "The remarkable story of today's fastest-growing drugless way to health – and how it can help you toward a sound body and increased vitality".
What did my patient enjoy the most in this book?
"The court conducted a lengthy trial of this case in May and June of 1987 and on August 27,1987, issued a 101 page opinion finding that the American Medical Association ("AMA") and its members participated in a conspiracy against chiropractors in violation of the nation's antitrust laws. Thereafter an opinion dated September 25, 1987 was substituted for the August 27,1987 opinion. The question now before the court is the form of injunctive relief that the court will order.
What else did the Chiropractic patient learn from the book?
The Chiropractic patient also enjoyed reading about the role of the spine, how it defies gravity, and how gravity impacts it. The book has images to help illustrate the concepts.
The interesting thing with books from the past on Chiropractic is how applicable they still are today. Even though our world changes with respect to technology and understanding, the physiology of the body (how the body works) remains the same. Chiropractic has always taught us to care for our spine, and the message is the same today. Through caring for your spine, the effect on life and health is amazing.
"Of all the natural forces affecting man, the earth's field of gravity is a threat to him from birth to death. The fear of falling is the earliest fear acquired by man".

Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, and administration officials presented a roadmap for a more sustainable transportation fuel system in the state, beginning with the construction of four new E85 fuel pumps.
"As the state purchases new vehicles for its fleet, more and more of our cars, trucks, and vans will run on alternative fuels," said O'Malley. "With these new E85 facilities, we'll continue to make Maryland's transportation fleet less dependant on fossil fuels, strengthening the energy future of our state for generations to come. These upfront investments in our alternative fuel infrastructure position Maryland to take advantage of the rapid advances in the next generation of non-food-based ethanol while reducing greenhouse gas emissions."
E85 is a blend of fuel that contains 85 percent ethanol and 15 percent gasoline. Ethanol is a renewable fuel made primarily by distilling grains such as corn, wheat, and barley. Emerging forms of ethanol fuel are made from non-food based crops, like switch grass.
"Reducing the state's dependence on foreign sources of oil has never been a more pressing issue, and greater use of E85 and other renewable fuels can help us do that," said Maryland Department of General Services Secretary Alvin C. Collins. "With 1,200 flex-fuel vehicles already in the state's fleet, we are striving to reduce reliance on fossil fuel and its harmful impacts on the environment."
• A mandate for the Department of General Services to use a 5 percent blend of biodiesel in the state vehicle fleet wherever possible.
• A mandate for agencies to identify specific steps that will ensure this accelerated transition to alternative fueling methods throughout Maryland.
• The launch of an awareness campaign to provide families with money-saving vehicle tips.
The state currently owns 1,200 flex fuel vehicles and is adding about 200 per year. The range of a vehicle operating on E85 is more than 350 miles on an 18-gallon tank of fuel. The incremental cost of the purchase of an E85 vehicle is either very low or non-existent compared to a gasoline counterpart.

Q: Riverpod does not rebuild the widget when the state is updated I am using a Notifier provider with a class as its State. Let's say the class is called stateClass and has two attributes: bool a and bool b. In my Notifier I have two methods: switchA and switchB.
void switchA() {a = !a;}
void switchB() {b = !b;}

In my widget, I am handling the changes like this:
final provider = ref.watch(stateClassProvider);
Text('Value: $(provider.a)');
onPressed: () => ref.read(stateClassProvider.notifier).switchA();

Obviously, this is not an entire code block. However, I hope you understand the general idea. The above idea does not work. The value itself updates, however, the widget does not rebuild. Keep in mind that the actual scenario I will be dealing with will contain a class with much more attributes to handle. Hence, I would love to know a solution that is the most efficient and does not ruin the readability of code with too much repetition.

Science Central Planetarium hits delay in funding
FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) – Science Central executive director Martin Fisher has been raising money for the region's "only public planetarium." Part of the plan is to procure $500,000 from Fort Wayne's Legacy Fund. Tuesday night was when the City Council had to make its decision. It decided to delay the vote.
After Fisher finished his presentation on the project, council members voiced their support, but Councilman Paul Ensley urged caution. He made a motion to table the vote until the council can get a better look at the status of the Legacy Fund. He said changes in management for the Electric Works project may keep the fund below the $30 million threshold at which the council tries to keep it.
Councilman Glynn Hines did not see a problem.
"It's $500,000," Hines said. "It's not a million. The funds are in the corpus. GE Works may or may not. It doesn't matter. It's only, to me, 500,000."
Yet, the council voted to table the discussion until at least May 28 after it meets with Electric Works about its funding.
The move was not in Martin Fisher's plans, but after the meeting he said he is ready for the next discussion.
"I look forward to when the council will contact me again to be able to give them an update because at that time, they'll have an update on some of the finances," Fisher said.
Fisher said he has already gathered more than one million dollars for the planetarium, but he needs more than two million for the project to go according to plan. He said it will not be possible to get the project off the ground without help from the Legacy Fund.

Hi! i want to purchase the Char Broil Big Easy grill but i noticed there are 2. Item#443-812 & 341-794. What's the difference besides $80. They seem to be the same size but the most expensive one has free shipping and the cheaper one doesn't. I'm a lil confused. Please help!
, welcome to the HSN Community. 443-812 includes rib hooks. There isn't much more that I could find that was different.


The Golden Thread - View topic - Fridge Without Using Electricity!
This is incredible idea is an extension of the pottery water cooling vessels used though the millennia.
Brilliant ideas don't need to be difficult to execute: here's a case in point. The technology has been known for centuries, but WASN'T APPLIED TO THE PROBLEM. Notice that applying technology also has the effect of educating young people.
Re: Fridge Without Using Electricity!
Great post, L! I just might try it. I bet you need to have clay pots, without holes like a lot of flower pots have. Probably can get them in any garden supply store. Sand from the beach or wherever. Have to remember to keep the sand moist, and you probably have to put a layer of sand in the bigger pot first, then place the smaller pot and fill around the edges with sand, water. I'll let you know if I try it. That man deserves a prize - oh yeah, he got one.
It is this kind of truly remarkable invention can (and did) get a student designer like Emily Cummins an invitation to visit with the Queen of England. It looks like an unassuming mixed-material cylinder, but conceals the astonishing ability to transform rays from the sun into vital food-cooling air ... a simple but world-changing technology.
Better than the best cold basement, this device is capable of keeping milk and meat cool for days in most climates - not quite as long in serious desert conditions. Not yet, anyway. A new model is already in the works to carry both food and medical supplies). This is not an entirely new concept - locals have been doing this in various countries for ages, but in low-tech, less-efficient and less-effective ways.

Luke Fischer - "A Personal History of Vision"
"Like his master, Rainer Maria Rilke, Luke Fischer is finely attuned to phenomena that reside both under and beyond the surface of things. In our contemporary world filled with incessant distraction, Fischer's dedicated gaze meditates on the unexpected and miraculous in nature and opens doors towards celestial realms. And we are the grateful recipients of this particular gift: Fischer's exploration of the fragile inner places where the heart and soul long to reside, despite the exteriority of modern life."
Luke Fischer reads and discusses "A Personal History of Vision."
A Q&A and signing will follow the discussion.
About the book: "A Personal History of Vision" expands on the concerns of Fischer's acclaimed first collection "Paths of Flight" and embodies what Judith Beveridge has described as his 'seemingly effortless ability to blend visual detail and imaginative vision.' Intertwining the personal and the historical, the modern and the primeval, culture and nature, these poems explore vision in its many senses, often with reference to the visual arts. At their heart is a search for an enlarged awareness of ourselves and the world, in which the visible and the invisible, nature and spirit find one another. At the same time these poems are awake to inadequacies and the trials of death and suffering––personal, political, and ecological. Yet, even in the darkness (the focus of the second section) they detect possibilities of transformation.


A longer, lower-tempo, hip-driven freestyle is a clear advantage in 50m pools, distances over 200 years and especially in open water.
A kaizen dog paddler, and her family, improve at swimming together.
Guaranteed — this will be among the most irresistible ("I wanna be there and do that!") swim videos you've seen.
When you strive to create beauty, you'll swim farther and faster, but enjoy it far more.
Your potential in most things (but particularly swimming) is almost certainly far greater than you imagine it to be. If you strive for continuous improvement, you WILL improve continuously.
I learned to focus not on the clock but on how I'm feeling and moving — that is, process, not outcome. Improved performance, it seems, follows improved mindfulness.

Census: Puerto Rico loses 177K residents in 4 years
Michelle Kantrow-Vázquez January 29, 2015
Edwin Aquino, president of Anderson Research
Edwin Aquino, president of Anderson Research.
Puerto Rico has lost 177,392 residents either to migration or death in the last four years, putting pressure on the economy, as well as specific sectors, — such as retail — that will need to readjust their business models to provide for future consumer behavior.
To that end, research firm Anderson Research International is developing a study aimed at producing quarterly statistics to document the impact of the seemingly unstoppable population shrink affecting Puerto Rico for the better part of the last decade.
According to estimates, Puerto Rico's population has fallen from 3,725,789 on April 1 , 2010, to 3,548,397 on July 1, 2014.
The Anderson Migration Report applies methodology used by several government agencies, such as the U.S. Census Bureau, the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics and the Puerto Rico Ports Authority, said Edwin Aquino, president of Anderson Research.
According to Anderson's research, 122 people are leaving Puerto Rico on a daily basis, "so companies that depend on offering products or services need to know how many people have left and their traits — how much they spent on food, how many cars they had, how much they paid in utilities," said Aquino.
"Many companies, business owners and executives in Puerto Rico invest much effort in learning the economic outlook and focus only on trends included in the historical results of the sectors in which they are established," he said.
"The problem with this behavior is that executives tend to be cautious when investing. This is so because they are not clear how economic forecasts will affect their organization; and data does not present the consumer profile," Aquino said.
Most of the people that have left Puerto Rico are professionals with moderate to high income earnings — between $30,000 and $120,000 a year — including attorneys, doctors, CPAs and architects, Aquino said.
"The people who are leaving know English, are educated, highly technological and aren't afraid of living somewhere else," Aquino said.
One example Aquino used to illustrate how migration is affecting the local economy is in retail, saying that on average, a local consumer will spend about $750 a month on groceries. When that average is multiplied by the 122 people that are leaving on a daily basis, the outcome is formidable pressure on the retail sector.
"The grocery industry is becoming very competitive in the sense that they must drop prices, which leads to operational expenses, just to grab clients," he said. "But the migration report can provide information on the estimated volume of losses and the consumer's profile so they can make adjustments and balance the alternatives they have per category."
Anderson is profiling 145 specific categories, including entertainment, beauty products, educational books and materials, as well as insurance.
Local companies interested in receiving the data have until March 31 to sign up. The first final quarterly report will be published in July, Aquino said.

"Loner" attackers aren't crazy & don't really act alone
By Bill Humphrey May 25, 2014 - 8:20 pm May 30, 2014 Arsenal Essay
Yesterday I published a brief piece arguing that the Santa Barbara shooting had less to do with solo mental illness and more to do with a bigger ideology or worldview that makes it acceptable to kill someone without seeing that as wrong. I noted that past mass killing events like the Rwandan genocide have been prime examples of a lot of people suddenly coming to the belief that the morally "right" course of action is actually the immediate extermination of a class of fellow humans. Maybe there's a "mob mentality" / Salem witch trial hysteria element to it, but at its core, it's not so much that everyone suddenly went crazy but that everyone was primed by received messaging to believe that mass murder was now acceptable because of reasons.
In the grand scope of history, I'd hypothesize that the number of ideologically motivated murders astronomically outnumber those committed in a lunatic haze by someone who is just totally out of it and has no sense of up or down, let alone right or wrong. In fact, I'd even go as far as guessing that in the United States today, more mentally ill people who are confused are accidentally killed by police than other people are killed by a mentally ill person on a rampage. It happens, but not much. Plus, those people basically don't have any idea what they're doing. Which is vastly different from premeditating an elaborate killing spree for specific, defined reasons based on ideas (not, say, amorphous perceived threats or imagined voices).
It's disrespectful, at best, to suggest automatically that a mass shooting is the result of mental illness (and, at worst, contributes to further stigmatization which can only make it less likely people who need help will seek it). But it also conveniently and decisively removes any opportunity to discuss the ideological motivations or worldview that actually led a person (who may or may not have a mental health issue) to commit a violent crime. It requires an ideological component well beyond any mental atypicality to take a socially awkward person and make him angry, hate-filled, murderous person. Not everybody who is awkward or struggles with mental health challenges has that reaction.
A reader posed several questions to me, in response to the original post:
Don't you think you're going down a slippery slope here? With that mentality you could attribute every awful thing anyone does to their having a different ideology. Also, he didn't live in a society where killing girls who aren't interested in you is OK. If he wasn't mentally ill, how did he develop an ideology that almost no one else around him shares? I don't doubt that a lot of guys think women owe them sex, but don't you think you have to have some issues to take it to the extreme that he did?
I think that's a fair question to ask me, to the extent that I didn't fully explain why I was making the argument. So in the interest of clarifying, I'll answer that in full, for everyone's benefit:
Couldn't you attribute every awful thing anyone does to their having a different ideology? How did he develop an ideology that almost no one else around him shares?
Yes, I would argue that most premeditated violent crimes stem from having a different worldview, whether it's circumstantial frame of reference or ideology. It's rarely spontaneously generated out of the ether or "insanity." They either get it from people around them (circumstantial, i.e. living in a violent or criminal environment; note 1) or (especially in the internet age) they are exposed to it externally and find comfort in an existing ideological community. And we have plenty of studies showing people start selecting their information sources more and more toward what already confirms their views, which means someone like this shooter who finds an online community with similar views will keep going back to it and drawing ideological strength from it. So maybe "almost no one else around him" in physical space shares the viewpoints he has, but he'd plugged into an extensive online community that backed that up. (They might not advocate violence openly, but they still foster and encourage a violent attitude.)
In this case, he was motivated by a primarily violent attitude toward women (although his manifesto includes extensive racial attacks as well), but it is very similar in structure to white supremacy movement's developments since the early 1990s, upon which there has been a tremendous amount of research — which I bring up so everyone understands where I'm drawing these ideas rather than thinking I'm just making up a slippery slope argument. Basically, the twin strand developments in white supremacy have been a) the promotion of "lone wolf" strategies (note 2) that encourage people within the movement who plan to break the law to do so without affiliating themselves openly with the groups they have associated with so that those people aren't arrested afterward too; b) the use of the internet (note 3) to network disparate loners in far flung geographic locations into lone wolf operatives who will encourage each other to carry out violent hate crimes against ethnic minorities, Jews, gays, transgender people, etc. In much the same way, this shooter drew heavily upon an online community fostering a violently-tinged hatred of women and a view of women as fungible chattel property whose world's should revolve around men. They can deny him as one of their own, but so do the white supremacy groups after a shooting. That's by design, in their case.
Additional notes & further resources
1. Studies (see "Violence Vanquished" from Steven Pinker's Why Violence Has Declined ) show murder rates are way higher in situations/places where lives are regularly ended abruptly and fellow humans are seen as less valuable (or become existential threats if left alive). That's true in gang wars and it was true in Medieval Europe. People kill in those contexts because there's a circumstantial frame of reference allowing it, to some degree. Revenge killings for honor used to be seen as "justified homicide," in that the killing was not "wrong." Likewise it's acceptable in the context of war to kill people but not just randomly on the street. All of which is to say that, besides pure ideology, there are many many ways beyond mental illness where murder is justified by a certain worldview or under certain circumstances (whether or not it really is justifiable).
2. Explanation of lone wolf concept from the Southern Poverty Law Center, which studies hate movement activities.
3. Stream a short, old documentary on the use of the web in hate group networking from about 1995-2000 and how it facilitated lone wolf attacks: "Hate.com" (CONTENT WARNING: Contains extensive quoting of hate speech and interviews with white supremacists.)

PHOENIX (KSAZ) - The widow of a man killed by Mesa Police has created a challenge and its' going viral. Laney Sweet believes this challenge shows that her husband never had a chance as he tried to obey commands Mesa Police officers gave him that night.
Laney Sweet, says The video challenge is a re-creation of the night her husband Daniel Shaver was shot and killed by Mesa police officer Philip Brailsford.
"We just started with the idea like I think it would be good to challenge people who have never read the transcript to try and film themselves following the commands, to see if they can keep up with them and if it makes sense to other people," said Laney Sweet.
Authorities have released some body camera footage of the night they went to the hotel on reports of a man with a gun. Shaver was a guest at the hotel; he was traveling with a pellet gun rifle for his pest control business.
Officer Brailsford said he shot Shaver because he thought he was reaching for a weapon. He was fired from the force and charged with second-degree murder.
"If you read the transcript and how Sergeant Langley treated him, it was a comply or die situation, they didn't give him a chance," said Sweet.
Several police have criticized Sweet for this challenge, calling it insensitive or an exploitation of her husband's death. Sweet says it's all about awareness and justice.
"It means putting myself out there and making a silly challenge video so people will get it trending to raise awareness, then I think I can do it for my children's sake who have lost their father," said Sweet.
Sweet, who has traveled to Phoenix for Brailsford's court appearances, is at home in Texas. She says she will return to the valley for the next hearing at the end of June. Mesa Police declined to comment on the case saying they would not comment on open cases.

Biografia
Secondo Senofonte Clearco, quando attraversò l'Asia per ottenere soldi dal satrapo Farnabazo e per raccogliere delle truppe, lasciò il comando della guarnigione ad Elisso di Megara e a Ceratade, i quali poco dopo furono costretti ad arrendersi quando alcune fazioni all'interno della città aprirono le porte ad Alcibiade; furono portati ad Atene ma, durante lo sbarco al Pireo, Ceratade riuscì a fuggire tra la folla e si rifugiò al presidio spartano di Decelea.
Diodoro Siculo e Plutarco non nominano né Elisso né Ceratade.

Nel 400 a.C., quando i Diecimila arrivarono a Bisanzio, Ceratade, che viaggiava per la Grecia in cerca di occupazione come generale, fece in modo che i soldati scegliessero lui come loro comandante, promettendo di condurli in Tracia e di fornire loro abbondanti vivande.
Quasi subito, però, si scoprì che non aveva mezzi per sostenere l'esercito anche per un solo giorno e fu costretto ad abbandonare la guida delle truppe.
