Peter Simeti, owner of Alterna Comics, made a post inquiring as to whether would support a crowdfund to "make a new distribution system" for comics the other day. He's interested to see what people would pay for that. Overwhelmingly, comics fans acknowledge Diamond Distribution's role in being a problem for comics, and of course, the vast majority of Simeti's followers voted yes, they would fund such an effort.
Here's the thing — alternative distribution exists. Even Simeti has his own system where a comic shop can buy direct from him for cheaper than they can buy books at Diamond, though it requires certain quantities to do so. Just like all Distribution.
Comic shops have not adopted his platform very much however. Why? Because they put in their monthly orders from Diamond and 90% of the product they sell is available as a Diamond Exclusive. If they want to try to help Alterna, they'll just buy a couple of books from there and not have to have a quantity minimum for shipping. They're already in there to do their order, they don't want to have to remember to do something new for $5-10 in profit a month.
Unless Alterna really creeps up on the Big-2 (which won't happen in comic shops), their platform won't matter.
It's because the hard truth is the specialty comic shop is part of the distribution chain that is part of this monopoly. Marvel/DC > Diamond > Shops> Marvel/DC collecting customer base. It's how it works. Customers buy mostly Marvel/DC at these shops and have forever. The percentages aren't really changing. They will special order product for customers who ask for specific things that are coming out, but they're not out there stocking the indie revolution. Regardless if my book Flying Sparks was available to every comic shop in the nation (it is, which I'll get to), it doesn't matter, they're not going to grab it and feature it.
That chain isn't something one can penetrate without being an Image Comics, and even then, Image only has a couple of big sellers and the rest are in the same obscurity land that Alterna or Kickstarter/IndieGoGo books are.
It'd be like trying to start a book store distributor for books, not carrying anything by the big 5 publishers, and throwing hands up and saying why isn't Barnes & Noble buying from me.
The thing is, in books, other options were set up, and those other options won. They cut into the big 5's almost full market share and now indie books represent almost 50% of the market. How did they do it?
The same way Arkhaven Comics has built what they have so far. The distribution system went out to a broader customer base, to everyone. Anyone can find the book and buy it at any time, and get it delivered free through Prime. If you don't want to use Amazon as the outlet, you can buy direct through Arkhaven's very own bookstore which the distributor handles its shipping and processing so they're not in the business of holding a warehouse of print like it's the 1980s, and hiring people to ship themselves.
That's what a distributor does and is for. Getting the producers out of the shipping business, handling all that themselves so we are free to create product. Making the product available to people to purchse at any time. This is the modern way to do things, this is why Amazon's won out in almost every industry so far (and why even Marvel/DC cater more toward Amazon/Comixology sales than a lot of specialty shop buyers) because there's an ability to go wide there without a consumer having to travel ever increasing distances to a specialty book shop.
Arkhaven took great pains to set this up, has good printer discounts which make indie books cheaper and more hassle free than a lot of alternatives, it's available in multiple formats (Kindle, CBZ digital, Print), and the books are ALWAYS available. The distribution system is a solid one and doesn't rely on anyone else, which is the same way I've sold thousands of copies of my steampunk novels without the gatekeeping of big publishing or agents.
And the best part is, any quality comic creator could come, show up, make the deal and make it happen, as it has been since September lsat year. The only reason the clique on twitter won't acknowledge it is because of a few YouTubers who don't even represent 1% of the market share. Those YouTubers are bitter and don't want a solution so they can keep complaining about problems. Stop listening to YouTubers who don't care about comics, and start producing and paying attention to the actual solutions in the industry.
You can get Flying Sparks on Amazon or through the Arkhaven Bookstore direct. I ran out of my initial print run, but it's still available cuz of this awesome distribution system–and even better, we're able to charge lower prices than I originally anticipated because of it. Check it out and pick up the book now.
Unlike a lot of the guys who launched crowdfunds over the summer who are still struggling to try to get their works done and haven't figured out what to do on distribution as they're exploring the same tired traditional options which historically don't move the needle at all, we're continuing to innovate and make the books available at affordable prices for all, while producing so much great content it's mind-boggling.
For the first of the year, I'm pleased to announce you can now avoid all evil-tech and still read Flying Sparks. No supporting Amazon, no IndieGoGo, it's available direct and in a higher quality digital format than anywhere else.
Yes it's now available as a CBZ from the Arkhaven Direct store! Read the book that's launching my comic career, and get on board now, because I just finished up my dialogue edits for Flying Sparks Volume 2: Mob Ties and it's going to blow you away.
I know it's closed to Christmas and we're all tapped out on presents and the like, but splurge a little on presents for yourself. We're here to help indie comics, that's what we want to do to create a thriving replacement industry for the failed business model Marvel/DC have set up. And there is no rest in this business!
Robot Western. I like robots. I like westerns. This pleases me as a concept.
A cosmic superhero adventure. I'll be releasing my own like this next year sometime but for now, this can help you fill that itch.
An all ages book with some cute animal heroes.
Super soldiers and some good pro-military themes.
A great selection from you to choose from. Back some indie projects and support indie comics!
One of my main principles is I'm anti-bullying. I started #ComicsGate because I received information as a journalist that Richard Meyer was being bullied by professionals to the point where he was going to get harassed at conventions and possibly have people harm him physically.
I defend those who are bullied. I pick up the mantle. This is something very important to me because I've seen people online driven to near-suicide because of online bully mobs.
When people are using the hashtag I popularized along with help from PJMedia (a great conservative news site) to bully comic creators and people into the will of one very cowardly youtuber, I'll take up the cause, doesn't matter who you are. You are not alone. You have my support.
They do this to everyone. I see it almost daily. There's bait, it's incessant, they will harp on someone until the person gets fed up and responds, then they attack the person hard for responding. It's been every case so far.
There's a lot of us who have been under this attack. We are a tight knit group because of our shared experience. There's a network here who's got your back and we won't equivocate, we won't abandon you because of the pressure of some anonymous trolls.
Don't be afraid! At the end of the day these guys are the biggest cowards I've ever seen. They hide in their DM chat together and rely on anonymous mobs to do their dirty work and won't stand up for anyone or anything. The more people speak and stand together, the less power they have.
It can seem overwhelming but if you get hit by this mob, contact me, I'll put you in touch with people who it's happened to, we WILL support you as best we can.
We're about comics and principles, not mobs and outrage over here, and that's what we're going to deliver.
Looking at the December numbers on IndieCron, an idea I helped start but now they blacklist me from being mentioned because they're ordered to, it's pretty dismal to look at. The outrage cash has pretty much disappeared into the coffers of a frog comic that may or may not be ever made, and to a legal offense fund (not defense) against a mentally ill industry insider.
Don't believe me, go to IndieGoGo and look at the numbers books are bringing in.
Part of it is Christmas, true, but people with huge followings like Mike Miller are actually pulling in less backers for his current project than my The Ember War got, and both had similar situations where we launched before fulfilling our other campaigns. It's a good comparison. Miller by his following size from Lonestar should be doing 3 – 5x what I do on my projects (this is not a slight against him, Mike has been one of the few people within comicsgate to be cool to me, it is just an analysis of the business model and the problems arising. I 100% support and endorse his projects.).
Downstream of Miller, it's an even more dismal story, books are really not making it at all now. Even the bottom tier that used to scrape by in funding aren't finding their legs. I'll be highlighting a few indie comics later on the blog this week to try to get some attention for these creators who aren't getting much love from the YouTube eceleb community.
I honestly didn't know. I have not been the most active on social media lately as I've been spending time working on stuff.
Sure enough, someone dredged up an old tweet of mine from a month ago where I rightly called out the main group that's responsible for the division in indie comics, the harassment of everyone, and brought up the fact that they only tend to pick on women and minorities. There's a pattern that's impossible to deny.
1. They set off their followers into fake outrage.
2. They repeat it over and over and twist it "OMG, Jon is 'basically' attacking you PERSONALLY cuz you're associated with EVS!" Note the word basically, as this is a tactic I used to see the left do to me when I was coming up in sci-fi comics. I never said anything about these guys personally nor do I know most of them or have negative opinions of them, at least until they launched.
3. They act en masse through their followers leaving hundreds of angry messages, tweets, saying all sorts of nasty stuff, pure harassment.
4. They wait until they get called on it.
5. They throw a fit because they're called on it and put their hands up and feign like they're getting attacked and then start the cycle anew with followers who didn't see what's going on in full, so they think their favorite creators are being attacked when it's those guys doing the attacking.
It's happened so many times now to so many people it's beyond absurd. That's what I saw back in September and why I washed my hands of it.
I can only assume it's because it's a slow sales and news month.
I'm here to create comics, I'm working my tail off, and i guess that bothers a few of the bigger folk who can't seem to get their comics done. But here's the thing: I'm not afraid of anyone, I believe in truth, justice, and the American way. That's what comics is about to me. I'll always defend those who are getting attacked unjustly and are in the weaker position because that's what Christ would do. I cannot be controlled, I cannot be manipulated. I am fully independent and don't rely on any of these guys' youtube shows for sales.
That's why I'm dangerous to the mainstream industry and to those who want to act like their clones.
But you can't stop the signal.
Flying Sparks isn't just out to backers, it's even on Amazon now. Anyone can get it at any time, which you should, cuz unlike most indie comics, this features quality writing by an award winner and #1 Bestseller combined with pro art from a great artist who's worked for Image and Dynamite. Everyone who's read it, even reviewers who don't like me much, agree that it's a great book. How many folk can pull that off?
Flying Sparks: Meta-Man Special Cover Reveal!
I'm pleased to present what will be the art for the cover of the Meta-Man special, art by Mike Abuan and colors by Levy Ramirez.
Meta-Man takes on his nemesis Doctor Malicious and his communist commandos!
You'll get to see some of the history of Meta-Man in this book, though it doesn't take you back to his origin. I wrote his origin as an old-time radio drama which I produced myself and lost all the files for years ago. We may make it again at some point, may convert that into a novel or a comic book, not sure yet, but this book both is meant to be a fun stand alone adventure and gives a bit of a reveal of how he ties into Chloe in the Flying Sparks main storyline (it's pretty subtle so I'll be interested to see who pieces things together).
If you want to catch up on Flying sparks proper, it's on Amazon now, you can do so here.
Flying Sparks Now Available On Kindle!
We've done it! The book is now available for print on demand and on Kindle so anyone can get Flying Sparks at any time. And you'll want to too. Every reviewer has given high praise to the story, most notably for the care I took with the character work. It's going to be a cut above most of the other indie comics out there.
Working on volume 2, which I'm planning to launch on IndieGoGo in February. Volume 2 dials up both the emotional and the action intensity to a significant degree. You'll love where this story goes. I'm trying to see if there's a way to get sketches/original art from Jethro on this as one of the perks, which will be a lot of fun. I might need to get a couple of those for myself.
If you've already read it from IndieGoGo, make sure to leave a review!
The Consumers Have Spoken And Love Flying Sparks!
These are the reviews I like the best, cuz it's clearly someone who READS, it's not a professional youtuber who's just generating content. Not that I mind the other reviews either.
That's going to be the difference between my work and some of the recent crowdfunded comics, is this is a book by a top tier professional writer with a top tier professional artist together.
As far as whether you can still purchase the book, you can on Amazon. We're working on getting a Kindle edition up in short order, hopefully within the next week or two.
Also happy to announce ALL of Flying Sparks has been fulfilled. It was quite a lot of work and hours getting books all shipped, and I'm probably going to outsource it to the printer in the future because I want to be in the business of writing and content creating, not packing and shipping. It'll allow me to come out with books faster and actually will probably make it cheaper for you to purchase as well.
We're working on a Flying Sparks: Meta-Man Special tie-in which is going to be 24-Pages. It goes into Meta-Man's past and subtly reveals crucial information about our characters for keen readers. The art is by my good friend Mike Abuan. This book is going to be a test because we're going to release it directly to Amazon and see how the market's going to be for a book like that and if it's sustainable to do it that way without a crowdfund to help pay for art and the like. The book will be $4.99.
Flying Sparks Volume 2 is slated for crowdfund in February. And there won't be much wait time for you to get the book after it closes! The machine's in place and we're going to run like clockwork. The cover artist for Volume 2 will wow you and I can't wait to announce who it is.
In the meantime make sure to catch up on the first book. I'm excited to make this an ongoing superhero world and keep expanding the scope. I'd had planned audio dramas, a youtube show, and more for this property so if we can keep growing, we can make some awesome content become a reality. Pick it up here.
The left knows the game. Moderates don't respond based on logic or being swayed by "good points in debate." They respond based on social pressure. You can push a moderate from a right winger and divide a base by hitting the talking points that instills fear into the moderate.
A moderate is scared to be branded a racist, a sexist, a bigot, and will act according to avoiding that social pressure.
A "radical" isn't scared, because they know the branding isn't true and doesn't matter so they'll do what they want.
That's the difference. Outside of a few kooks with no power, there's no problems going on with these things in reality. We live in the most open, free time in the world, where the only thing that can hold you back in most professions is being an open Chrsitian, white, or male, or a combination of the above.
So want to help your side? Don't ADD to the social pressure the SJWs put on moderates by putting more on right wing people or opinions.
Today, we saw that the people who proclaim moderation get attacked regardless. That Umbrella Guy, a popular youtuber, moderate, and rabble rouser within the comicsgate sphere was doxxed last night. He's a vocal guy about comics, but not much else. He took great pains to disassociate from me and other vocal right wingers in the movement in order to try to stay safe, for his own personal reasons which I know and are valid, but it didn't stop the SJWs from coming after him.
Once they declare you as a target, you're their target. It doesn't matter if you support gay rights, it doesn't matter if you voted the "right" way… i even talk to a lot of left folk in the industry who weren't 100% on board with what the mob wanted at times and they've gotten the heat, gotten the attacks, had their careers and lives destroyed. They'll attack you no matter what.
I've been saying this ever since I was disavowed by the big youtube clique: it doesn't matter. The SJWs will go for you no matter what. Abandoning your friends and allies doesn't help anyone. It's a division tactic to slow the movement's momentum down, make it so my fans won't buy your work, your fans won't buy my work. It's an endless cycle and they USE that social pressure in order to make it happen.
Know that it's just a tactic. There's no principles involved. No letting them know you're "not the real racist". It doesn't matter to them. They know you're a threat by posing an alternative to their establishment mainstream. They know that the "further right" people are doing the same. That's what this is about not any specific policies. They don't care about policies, they care that your identity is a threat to theirs. And it will always be unless you bow to them completely. Doing partial bows will not help you.
We can get back on track now. We can stop the division and get back to what we're supposed to be doing — creating a real alternative, one that doesn't blacklist over perception of right-leaning politics. Keep our heads down, stay the course, and don't attack your friends. We already have Warner Bros., Disney, the DNC, the Clinton Foundation, Big Saudi Oil, the UN, the news media against us. You add the element of fighting each other and we're going to get nowhere fast.
Make sure to support alternative indie books. A great place to start is For Steam And Country, the first book in my major steampunk series that made me a #1 bestseller despite all the social pressure big publishing tried to put for people not to buy my books. Readers loved it anyway! Check it out here.
Most people who follow me saw the news yesterday where IndieGoGo removed not only an active campaign — but one that had completed on its site more than two weeks ago. It appears to be a breach of contract at this point because funds were promises (as that's how IndieGoGo works), but we'll see what happens.
I've got a couple of emails into IGG as a journalist — and a concerned person with a campaign. IndieGoGo simply referred me to the terms of service which state they can take down a project for any time for any reason and it's their policy not to communicate a reason.
If that's the terms of service, then they're a very shady group to utilize such a policy. How can you operate as a business by taking down campaigns that make 6-figures and giving no reason why? Of the more than thousand backers of the campaign… I'd be leery to ever use the site just because of that which hurts other projects too. Backing something and having IGG hold money for a month only to refund for no reason is very angering and makes it hard to trust the site for any project.
Chuck Dixon, the writer of AHQ said one thing: "It won't stop us". Which is good. We can't give up, can't abandon the fight just because of some big tech clowns. This appears to be discrimination based on politics because of their lack of any sort of given reason about the project, and that is something at its core which is anti-American and anti-free speech.
The SJWs have a plan. It's to do 3 things: Destroy, deplatform, divide. That's their strategy at all times. I call it 3D Warfare. They're going to come after all of us and this is just a test run to see what happens with it.
We've seen that so far their attacks have been head on, but we're going to have more behind the scenes attacks like this. YouTube. Twitter. Crowdfunds. They're not safe. If any of us get too big, we're at risk on these platforms controlled by them.
I'm especially afraid because I have a project published through the same company as AHQ. The Ember War is up now, and it's raised $19,000 — money I really need to pay for the art of the book. If IGG decides I'm evil over association, I could be very screwed in terms of this book that's half done. I need to make this happen and can't afford to take the short term hit like some of the bigger guys. And I believe because of my association only that my project is probably the most AT RISK of any on the site.
You can help support the Ember War and Arkhaven's right to make comics here (for now). Thank you everyone. We need to stand together. The attacks might get worse on all of us but our resolve is what's going to win this in the long run.

BRIDGEPORT EASTERN MIDGET WEEK PREVIEW
_Front Page News, Bridgeport Speedway, USAC National Midget Car Series
#7x Thomas Meseraull Ryan Sellers Photo
By Richie Murray
Bridgeport, New Jersey (July 31, 2020)………It's been 31 years since the USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midgets have visited the Garden State of New Jersey, but this coming Thursday, August 6, the three-plus decade hiatus comes to a close as the highly-competitive series makes its debut at Bridgeport Speedway for round three of Eastern Midget Week, the first time the mini-series has ventured outside of the state of Pennsylvania in its six year history.
USAC series have competed at the track in recent years with Bridgeport hosting the Eastern Storm tour for the AMSOIL National Sprint Cars in both 2018-19 as well as the Rapid Tire East Coast Sprint Cars in that same time frame.
For those individuals who've competed with the national series at Bridgeport over the last couple of seasons, they will be greeted by a newly reconverted 4/10-mile dirt oval. Those past events have been held on the former 3/8-mile dirt oval which was located inside of the now-defunct 5/8-mile dirt track.
With that said, all past experience at the track is out the window with the new layout. However, a handful of name drivers do have experience, and their share of successes, at Bridgeport in its previous iteration.
Kevin Thomas Jr., who'll be competing for Heffner Racing throughout Eastern Midget Week, was the fastest qualifier and the winner of the USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car debut at Bridgeport in 2018. The Cullman, Ala. driver followed up with a runner-up finish during his last series visit in 2019.
USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget point leader Chris Windom led 11 laps and finished 2nd after his involvement in a memorable back-and-forth tussle throughout the 30-lap distance between he, Thomas and Tyler Courtney, all of whom will be competing throughout the entirety of Eastern Midget Week. Windom, the 2016 USAC Silver Crown and 2017 AMSOIL National Sprint Car champion from Canton, Ill. collected an 8th place finish at Bridgeport in 2019.
Reigning USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget champion Tyler Courtney finished 3rd in his USAC Sprint Car visit to Bridgeport in 2018. The Indianapolis, ind. native captured a heat race win in 2019 before moving from the 10th starting position to a 6th place feature finish.
Justin Grant has been tabbed as the driver of the Petry Motorsports No. 5 throughout Eastern Midget Week. The current USAC AMSOIL National Sprint Car point leader from Ione, Calif. finished 8th in 2018 before upping his performance to a 3rd in 2019 in USAC Sprint competition at Bridgeport.
Thomas Meseraull (San Jose, Calif.) is always a thrill show at any venue he participates. Twice a non-point special event winner with the USAC Midgets, Meseraull made a charge during his debut at Bridgeport in a sprint car during Eastern Storm 2018, cutting through the field to 9th after starting 18th on the grid.
Steven Drevicki (Reading, Pa.) just this past week reigned victorious in a USAC SpeedSTR feature at Bridgeport by about a foot on a last lap, last corner pass for the win. The two-time USAC Rapid Tire East Coast Sprint Car champion also owns two career top-five finishes with the series there, a 2nd in 2018 and a 5th in 2019. During Eastern Storm at Bridgeport in 2019, Drevicki collected a 12th place result.
Several drivers within the top-ten of the current USAC NOS Energy Drink National Midget point standings are each making their debuts at Bridgeport, including top Rookie, Penngrove, California's Buddy Kofoid (3rd in the standings); along with 2016 series champ and two-time Eastern Midget Week feature winner Tanner Thorson of Minden, Nev. (4th); 2019 Shamrock Classic victor, Cannon McIntosh of Bixby, Okla. (5th); 2019 USAC National Most Improved Driver Tanner Carrick of Lincoln, Calif. (6th), Rookie Daison Pursley of Locust Grove, Okla. (7th), Rossville, Indiana's Cole Bodine (8th) and Pennsylvania's own Andrew Layser (9th), the 2019 series Rookie of the Year from Collegeville.
USAC's National Midget history dates back more than six decades ago when 1957-58 Indoor Midget champion Chuck Rodee scored a 100-mile victory at the Fairgrounds in Trenton. The longest midget races in USAC history took place in the state of New Jersey in 1959 and 1960 when Jiggs Peters and Bobby Marshman/Jimmy Davies each won 250-mile races at Trenton, respectively. The Marshman/Davies combo win was the only time in series history that two drivers were credited with a shared victory.
Seven of New Jersey's previous 14 USAC National Midget events have been held at Trenton, with two at Wall Stadium in 1963, the first night of which was won by Parnelli Jones, who was fresh off his Indianapolis 500 win. Old Bridge Speedway hosted the series in 1964 while Flemington Speedway was the venue for the three most recent in 1971-86-89, the final two of which were won by John Heydenreich, who remains active as a driver to this day.
The Foley Cat Modifieds will also be on the event card. Pits open for Bridgeport at 3pm Eastern with front gates opening at 4:30pm and hot laps at 6pm.
General admission tickets are $28 for adults, $15 for kids age 10-15 and free for kids age 9 & under. Pit passes are $35 apiece. Tickets can be purchased at the gate or on www.bridgeportspeedway.thundertix.com.
Thursday's Grandview event will be aired live on FloRacing at https://bit.ly/2Zs7zFP.
USAC NATIONAL MIDGET WINS IN NEW JERSEY:
2-Bobby Marshman & John Heydenreich
1-Billy Vukovich, Bob Harkey, Jimmy Davies, Chuck Rodee, Eddie Johnson, Jiggs Peters, Jimmy Kirk, Johnny Parsons, Mel Kenyon, Parnelli Jones & Tom Bigelow
USAC NOS ENERGY DRINK MIDGET NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS: 1-Chris Windom-1,035, 2-Tyler Courtney-928, 3-Buddy Kofoid-919, 4-Tanner Thorson-906, 5-Cannon McIntosh-809, 6-Tanner Carrick-713, 7-Daison Pursley-677, 8-Cole Bodine-629, 9-Andrew Layser-598, 10-Justin Grant-489.

Could Michigan-style "Martial Law" Be On Its Way to Wisconsin?

Rumors have been circulating about a little-known initiative to subject Wisconsin local governments to "stress tests" and other new constraints. Many believe the proposal resembles the "martial law" bill that was recently passed in Michigan, which allows the state government to dissolve local governments in a "fiscal emergency," and worry that Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker or his friends in the legislature could be cooking up a similar plan.
Progressive commentator and former Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Ed Garvey sounded the warning in a blog post for FightingBob.com that snowballed all the way to Forbes.com.
Rick Ungar of Forbes wrote that:
Walker is said to be preparing a plan that would allow him to force local governments to submit to a financial stress test with an eye towards permitting the governor to take over municipalities that fail to meet with Walker's approval. According to the reports, should a locality's financial position come up short, the Walker legislation would empower the governor to insert a financial manager of his choosing into local government with the ability to cancel union contracts, push aside duly elected local government officials and school board members and take control of Wisconsin cities and towns whenever he sees fit to do so. Such a law would additionally give Walker unchallenged power to end municipal services of which he disapproves, including safety net assistance to those in need.
The law in Michigan, which was put in effect for the first time in Benton Harbor, gives sweeping authority to a governor-appointed emergency financial manager for towns that have been subject to a stress test and declared to be in a state of "financial emergency." In Benton Harbor, the newly-appointed manager has taken all decision-making power away from the city's executive board and committees.
Greater Milwaukee Committee
Garvey's blog pointed to the activities of Michael Grebe and the Greater Milwaukee Committee (GMC). The GMC recently released a study and unveiled a new website that call for stress testing municipalities, "streamlining" the county government, creating a new elected uber-comptroller position, more "flexibility" with labor contracts, the consolidation of services across municipal lines and changes to health care and pension plans. The website for Make it Your Milwaukee outlines a "Statewide Local Government Flexibility Toolkit" with some language that seems to echo a similar toolkit produced by the American Legislative Exchange Council.
Michael Grebe is the Chair of GMC. He also Chaired Scott Walker's gubernatorial campaign. He has been instrumental in furthering the conservative agenda in Wisconsin and nationally. He is also the former CEO of Foley & Lardner, the state's largest law firm. The popular blog
picked up Garvey's story and dug deeper into the web of ties between Grebe, Foley & Lardner, the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and even the Koch brothers.
In response to the coverage, GMC staff released a statement: "contrary to the rumors that circulated this week, the Initiative does not support providing the state with the ability to takeover cities and other entities."
But Ed Garvey puts it plainly: what is the point of doing a stress test if you are not then going to take actions based upon the test?
"What is the point? Who designs it and what is this test for? And what does transparency even mean?," said Garvey pointing out that a local government's finances are a matter of public record. "None of this is out of the blue though. It seems to me that what Walker, Kasich, Snyder, Christie are all doing is creating centralized power in the governor's office where they can do whatever the hell they want to do."
These governors have all introduced legislation to erode the rights of workers and curtail other democratic freedoms. They are all using the same playbook if not identical plays.
Walker Denies Legislation in the Works
Gov. Walker went on Milwaukee's WTMJ-AM Charlie Sykes show to say that it was "absolutely false" to say that legislation was in the works. However, a PR firm representing Foley & Lardner told CMD in a conversation about the GMC intitative, that the firm is "working on developing recommendations for legislation" right now. The firm could be working for any number of Republican leaders or advocacy groups.
Whether we are to believe Walker or not, it is worth taking a look at what he has already proposed to consolidate power and gut small 'd' democratic control.
In his budget and collective bargaining bill, the Governor works hard to take away power from local governments and government agencies and consolidate it in his office. He takes away the ability of cities, counties and school boards to collectively bargain with their employees; he takes away the ability of towns to set their own budget limits; he appoints three dozen new political apparatchiks and czars across state government; and he wants to do away with an elected State Treasurer and Secretary of State.
On schools, Walker takes away local control over charter schools and places it into the hands of a board. His budget mandates a 5.5 percent cut in per-pupil local education spending. No school district will be permitted to maintain its current level of property tax-based funding for education or be able to increase that tax to offset state cuts. He overrides local control on windfarms and wetlands, making it harder for local communities to create jobs or protect the environment. And let's not forget Assembly Bill 7, which Wisconsin Common Cause calls "the most restrictive voter identification law in the nation."
Whether a "fiscal emergency bill" is introduced in Wisconsin or a weaker version that focuses on stress tests combined with comptrollers on steroids, the erosion of local control and baseline democracy is well underway in Wisconsin and the charge is being led by the Republican party -- the formerly-ardent champions of all things local.

Q: How to display master related data in C# gridview using Entity Framework I'm using Entity Framework and stuck on displaying the detailed records of the master table.
I have a MasterBindingSource and DetailsBindingSource along with two DataGridViews on the form.
What I'm trying to do is: fill the detailsGridView related to the selected data on the masterGridView.
Can anyone guide me through this please?
This is what I've done, I'm able to fill the masterGridview but details table are not filled related to the master...
MasterTbBindingSource.DataSource = lobo.MasterTb.Include("DetailTb").ToList();

What am I missing? Thanks
UPDATE
public partial class CONTACTS_BASE//Master
{
    public CONTACTS_BASE()
    {
        this.ORDERS = new HashSet<ORDER>();
    }

    public int CB_REFNO { get; set; }
    public string CB_NAME { get; set; }
    public string CB_ID_NO { get; set; }
    public string CB_AGE { get; set; }

    public virtual ICollection<ORDER> ORDERS { get; set; }
}

public partial class ORDER //Detail

    public string OR_PROD_CODE { get; set; }
    public Nullable<int> OR_M_REFNO { get; set; }

    public virtual CONTACTS_BASE CONTACTS_BASE { get; set; }
}

and this is what I tried to achive my goal:
using (var lobo = new MyEfTestEntities())
{
            CONTACTS_BASEBindingSource.DataSource = lobo.CONTACTS_BASE.Include("ORDERS").ToList();

            ORDERBindingSource.DataSource = CONTACTS_BASEBindingSource;
            ORDERBindingSource.DataMember = "ORDERS";
}

A: It's unrelated to Entity Framework. Automatic Master - Details synchronization of two DataGridView controls with BindingSource components is quite easy. All you need is to set the master BindingSource as DataSource of the detail BindingSource and use the DataMember of the detail BindingSource to specify the name of the detail collection.
Something like this:
MasterTbBindingSource.DataSource = lobo.MasterTb.Include("DetailTb").ToList();
DetailsBindingSource.DataSource = MasterTbBindingSource;
DetailsBindingSource.DataMember = "DetailTb";

The Portuguese conquest of the Banda Oriental was the armed-conflict that took place between 1816 and 1820 in the Banda Oriental, for control of what today comprises the whole of the Republic of Uruguay, the northern part of the Argentine Mesopotamia and southern Brazil. The four-year armed-conflict resulted in the annexation of the Banda Oriental into the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves as the Brazilian province of Cisplatina.

The belligerents were, on one side, the "artiguistas" led by José Gervasio Artigas and some leaders of other provinces that made up the Federal League, like Andrés Guazurary, and on the other, the troops of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves, directed by Carlos Frederico Lecor.

On the naval front, the conflict far exceeded the Río de la Plata and the Argentine coast to spread globally, as the Insurgent privateers, most notably under the flag of Buenos Aires and flag of Artigas, harassed Portuguese ships in Europe, Africa and the Caribbean.

Causes

The causes that led King John VI of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves, whose court had been installed in Rio de Janeiro since 1808, to embark on the invasion of the Banda Oriental can be divided into general and circumstantial.

Among the first is located in the main place, the former Portuguese aspiration to bring the frontiers of Brazil to the coast of Río de la Plata (), arguing that it matched the Tordesillas line by which Spain and Portugal had divided the world in 1494. For that reason, the region of the Rio de la Plata was a border area between Spain and Portugal, and as such, a highly conflictive area and theater of bloody battles over the centuries, even after the American colonies became independent of the European powers.

The Río de la Plata was strategic because it is the starting point of a large river basin, the fifth in the world, that goes to the heart of South America, from near mining areas in Potosí (current Bolivia), through Paraguay, Mato Grosso and reaching São Paulo. Additionally, the Banda Oriental, in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, was an area of major agricultural wealth, which was organized on the old dairy and beef production, a staple of African slaves who constituted the Brazilian economic base

Following that line of historical conflict, Buenos Aires was founded in 1536 to prevent the Portuguese from extending beyond the Río de la Plata. During the period between 1580 and 1640, in which the Kingdom of Portugal was part of the Iberian Union together with the Kingdom of Spain under the "Catholic Monarchy", Spain relaxed precautions on the ill-defined borders between the two kingdoms, a circumstance that Portugal took to expand the territory of Brazil, to the west and south.

In 1680 the Kingdom of Portugal founded the Colonia del Sacramento (), the first settlement in what is now Uruguay, right in front of Buenos Aires, on the other bank of the Rio de la Plata. Since then several clashes occur and precarious agreements between the Portuguese and Spanish in the Banda Oriental and the Misiones.

Portugal also took the troubled political circumstances produced from Napoleon's invasion of Spain in 1808, introducing the Princess Carlota Joaquina, wife of John VI and sister of King Ferdinand VII, captive of Napoleon, as the best alternative to protect the interests of Spanish crown. However, the common struggle against Napoleon Bonaparte, who invaded Spain in order to attack Portugal, as their government they disregarded the continental blockade imposed by him to Britain, led Portugal to avoid a disagreement with Spain and the occupation projects were delayed.

The occupation of the Misiones Orientales () in 1801 by Portuguese troops, commanded by bandeirante José Francisco Borges do Canto and attempts to generate a protectorate during the crisis of 1808, were closer antecedents. The crisis began when the governor of Montevideo Francisco Javier de Elio came into conflict with the Viceroy of the Río de la Plata, Santiago de Liniers, who came to the political break with the constitution of the Junta of Montevideo on 21 September that year. The Portuguese monarchy took advantage of the situation by sending the military and diplomatic Joaquín Javier Curado to offer, in terms restraining orders, acceptance of the protectorate in the Banda Oriental on the argument the preserve it from a Viceroy considered "Afrancesado". Elio rejected the offer at first, but the course of political events from the 1810 May Revolution in Buenos Aires allowed the Portuguese, on two occasions, to attempt armed seizure of the territory. Those times were 1811 and 1816.

The Portuguese invasion of 1811, was the result of a request by then viceroy of Río de la Plata, Francisco Javier de Elio, in support of the Spanish authorities against artiguist revolutionaries. This invasion took place in the context, as already mentioned, of the May Revolution, where the influence of the same Elío established the capital of the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata in Montevideo, thereby becoming viceroy. The revolution had infiltrated in the Banda Oriental after the Cry of Asencio. José Rondeau and José Artigas commanded the troops that, after the Battle of Las Piedras, besieged Montevideo on May 21, 1811. Elio, despite being besieged and in considerable difficulty, managed to block with a royalist naval fleet the port of Buenos Aires and called for help from the Portuguese. A month later, in July, was dispatched from Rio de Janeiro to the south an army of 4,000 men under General Diego de Souza. Defeated in Paraguay and Upper Peru, and stopped by the Elio naval blockade, the government of Buenos Aires sought an agreement with Montevideo in exchange for removing the naval blockade and the withdrawal of the Portuguese. The artiguistas rejected the deal, which left them helpless against the enemy, and followed Artigas in the episode known as the Oriental Exodus. The Portuguese troops had not left the eastern territory until August 1812 when, with the support of the British government, Buenos Aires ensured compliance of the 1811 Armistice Agreement 1811 through the Rademaker-Herrera deal of 1812.

The context of 1816, with the state of war between the Orientals and Buenos Aires (which virtually ensured the neutrality, at least, the neutrality of Buenos Aires to the occupation of the Oriental territory) and the European context, marked by the absolutist restoration that denied the colonies their right to independence from the monarchies (which guaranteed Portugal against any hostile reaction from Spain ), proved ideal for the realization of the old goal. Those were the main circumstances.

The ailing Portuguese royal family that had emigrated to Rio de Janeiro in 1808 fleeing from Napoleon's invasion had nothing to do with the proud Court that concerned Britain in 1816 for its expansionist aspirations. Much water had flowed under the bridges and other winds blowing in Europe and America. The endless possibilities of large and rich country of Brazil, economic development produced by the opening of Brazilian ports to international trade-decision of 1808 - and remoteness from European conflicts resulted in a bold idea of the Portuguese political leadership. Convert Brazil to the center of decision and permanent seat of the kingdom and its authorities. The presence of the Portuguese government in America has substantially changed the geopolitical vision of its leaders. This idea was seriously considered by the king, particularly after the death of his mother, Queen Maria, which occurred in March 1816, who was mentally inhibited from long ago. The Prince Regent finally ascended the throne under the name of John VI. The flamboyant monarch gave his decidedly biased American policy. Brazil seemed to assure the Braganza a first order global destination, which the little Portugal would no longer offer.

A decree almost immediately transformed the Kingdom of Portugal in the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves, Brazil was no longer a colony and passed to form the Kingdom of Brazil, essential part of the state. From that moment the expansionist policy was accentuated and the idea of an Empire of Brazil was encouraged and supported. Such a policy did not coincide with the plans of Britain, which was opposed by the British minister Lord Strangford, who previously had a strong influence on the Brazilian government. The dispute culminated when the king himself called to London, in April 1815, to replace the diplomat, which was accepted almost immediately. These circumstances did not alter the old dependency of Portugal, and then of Imperial Brazil, regarding the economic policy of the British Empire. But the relative emancipation of John VI regarding the British power had hitherto closely monitored allowed Portuguese politics execute his old plan to invade and annex the Banda Oriental. Particular interest in the project, had the planters of Rio Grande do Sul, which on the one hand, aspired to control the overseas port of Montevideo as a way to channel their business (the strong regional and even separatist tendencies in the region had the highest interest in having its own exit that would link to international trade), and on the other hand, were concerned about the implementation of rural artiguista regulation, adopted in September 1815, which established the right of confiscation of the lands of the enemies of the revolution with its disrespect for property rights and the phenomenon of rural populace dividing the land, under the banner "The most unhappy are the most privileged". In addition, under the chaos prevailing in the United Provinces, which declared independence after the Congress of Tucumán, and the "radicalism" of Artigas, he regarded the Banda Oriental as a dangerous center spread of "anarchy" to impulses of the "Montoneros" federalist and republican. No wonder then that the Marquis of Alegrete riograndense warlord, has made maximum efforts for the project, and that those who were later prominent leaders of separatism riograndense, Bento Gonçalves da Silva and Bentos Manuel Ribeiro, have played with it a leading role.

Also, Spanish and American emigrants who sought refuge in Brazil persuaded the Portuguese and Brazilian King John VI, to initiate a military campaign on the Banda Oriental. Gaspar de Vigodet, last Spanish colonial governor of Montevideo and the Spanish friar Cirilo Alameda promoted the adventure with the hope that, once obtained the victory, Portugal would return those territories to Spanish rule. The locals unit exiled by the Fontezuelas Mutiny led by Carlos de Alvear, expected a defeat of Artigas, leader of federalism, and supplied the Portuguese-Brazilian Court with any information, to support their plans. Anti-artiguist orientals (Mateo Magariños, José Batlle and Carreó) also made an important effort in this regard. Particular importance was Nicolas Herrera, former secretary of the government of Alvear deposed in 1815. Herrera arrived in Rio de Janeiro in exile, disgraced and bankrupt, but his undeniable charm and talent enabled him to persuade Antonio de Araujo y Acevedo, Count da Barca, one of the chief advisers of John VI. Soon those responsible for Portuguese-Brazilian politics appreciated the knowledge of the lawyer in respect to geography and political reality of the province to annex.

Complicity of Buenos Aires
The main drawback of the campaign of conquest lay in the possibility that the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata react in defense of a territory which formed part of the country since its inception. Certainly it was not convenient to Portugal that the annexation of the Banda Oriental resulted in a difficult war, against all the provinces of La Plata. According to Uruguayan historians Washington Reyes Abadie, Oscar H. Bruschera and Tabaré Melogno, and the Argentine Raúl Scalabrini Ortiz, the information about Buenos Aires neutrality was first given by Manuel Jose Garcia, sent to negotiate with Britain and the court in Rio de Janeiro that they do not support the Spanish Empire, at a time when it was trying to recover the independent colonies.

According to the Uruguayan writer Lincoln Maiztegui Casas, "Garcia with his ideal and interventional unit used all his influence to persuade the Portuguese King that the government of Buenos Aires would not take military action to keep the Oriental territory." Regarding the role of Juan Martin de Pueyrredón, who took office in 1816 as Supreme Director of the United Provinces replacing Alvear, Maiztegui Casas asserts that although he differed from the radical Unitarianism of those who had commissioned Garcia, he thought that the unitarian party was not strong enough to subdue the federal movement, which quickly spread over the provinces; Pueyrredón, same as the previous rulers, was sympathetic to a defeat of Artigas, still considering him an expression of barbarism. Pueyrredón's attitude was ambiguous against the Portuguese invasion, accounting for one side that it implied in Buenos Aires the struggle against federalism and artiguismo in particular, but on the other hand also to a public in Buenos Aires that massively opposed to segregation of the territory and the British interests seeking the creation of a small independent state. Ultimately, Pueyrredón as supreme director, collaborated with the invasion, not only because he did not declare war on the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves to the occupation of part of the country he governed, but because he steadily attacked the provinces of the Federal League, which were inhibited to cooperate with the defense of the territory organized by Artigas. But it also happened after of facts that can not be omitted, including the intransigence of the Protector, Artigas who systematically and firmly refused to recognize the authority of the Supreme Director of the United Provinces of Rio de la Plata, which led him to the conviction that Artigas was intratable. Pueyrredón, expressing a political line that held differences with predominantly Unity Party in Buenos Aires since 1812, and was taken with considerable concern the Portuguese invasion of the Banda Oriental, with no objective reasons to ensure that such attitude was apparent. First, Nicolas de Vedia sent to interview Lecor, leading a trade to ensure that the invasion did not continue to Entre Rios, but that he had instructions to "keep on Buenos Aires strict neutrality". The commissioner returned to Buenos Aires a letter of assurance that would not pass the Portuguese adventure in the Oriental Province, obtained in conversation with Nicolas Herrera. Then Pueyrredón sent some weapons and war supplies to Artigas (low volume, but as a testimony of good will; 300 frames and 100 pounds of gunpowder), issued a loan of 200,000 pesos for military spending and war, a committee responsible for organizing the potential conflict.

Military planification

Portuguese preparations
The Portuguese army had between 10,000 and 12,000 men, including fully armed and disciplined European veterans of the Napoleonic Wars and local Brazilian troops. An effective intelligence service, which allowed them to determine accurately the main steps of Artigas, and watchful care of every detail, with 30 doctors in the health service. The first transports arrived in Rio de Janeiro, at the end of March next year. The rest of the division made it to the end of March 1816. The division was commanded by General Carlos Federico Lecor. The May 13, 1816, birthday of the new king, John VI observed with praise and wonder his new invasion troops.

The plan of operations behaved offensively, invading the Banda Oriental and the area of Argentine Mesopotamia. The "Instructions of His Majesty King John VI" to General Lecor, signed by the Marquis de Aguilar, the June 4, 1816 are particularly illustrative for understanding the motives and purposes of the Portuguese action in the Platine territories. With respect to Artigas, he prevented Lecor that although the Portuguese force had strength to beat him, it was advisable to negotiate with him if possible, under the conditions that his military body was dissolved, that he would move to reside in Rio de Janeiro or another place that his Majesty allowed, that he would deliver his weapons, that he would receive a salary similar to the Portuguese infantry colonels and that he would be allowed to sell his possessions and goods. As for his officers and troops, they could be admitted in the Portuguese army, under his discretion.

Finally, it was recommended to keep scrit neutrality with the government of Buenos Aires, and in the case of being asked he would deny any intention of moving to the other side of the Rio de la Plata. The day after these Instructions were issued - on June 5, 1816 - John VI appointed Lecor Governor and Captain General of Montevideo.

Portuguese forces
The preparation of the Lusitanian invasion had already begun in mid-1815. As the Prince Regent had informed the Court of Madrid, the Royal Volunteer Division sent from Lisbon to Brazil, which represented the elite corps of the invasion, commanded by Lecor. The British William Carr Beresford, made Marshal of the Portuguese Army, acted as advisor. The division was composed of two brigades, commanded by Brigadiers Jorge de Avillez Zuzarte and Francisco Homem de Magalhães Pizarro, consisting each of two battalions of Caçadores (light infantry), eight companies, three squadrons of cavalry and an artillery park, a total of 4,831 pieces. This division of Royal Volunteers had 6,000 men in total. Lecor decided to modify the order of operations, despite the detailed instructions, fearing the climate. In Santa Catarina he traded his land troops to Porto Alegre, arranging a new plan with Captain General of Rio Grande, Marquis of Alegrete. According to it, Lecor himself at the head of the Royal Volunteers, march along the route of the Atlantic coast, in the direction of Maldonado and Montevideo. The Royal Volunteer Division was also called South Column or Lecor Division, and had to be protected and flanked by naval squadron commanded by Count of Viana.

After the Division of General Bernardo Silveira invaded Cerro Largo, taking aim to Paysandú and with the mission to protect the right flank of Lecor with their 2,000 men of the Royal Volunteer Cavalry and 800 riograndense militias. Lieutenant Colonel Abreu, with 650 men would come to reinforce the colonel Chagas in the Eastern Missions, aiming to advance on the Eastern Missions and the Province of Misiones. Meanwhile, Jardim ensure greater communication between these two chiefs and would monitor the native minuanes and charrúas in Santa Ana and Haedo. Finally, a large reserve, commanded by Lieutenant General Javier Joaquin Curado stayed at the Ibirapuiá Chico, able to come to the support of any of the other contingents. It consisted of 2,000 men and 11 pieces of artillery.

Plan of Artigas
Artigas learned in the first half of January 1816 the Lusitanian intentions. He suspected this for several letters he had intercepted. On January 11 he gave instructions to Andres Guazurary, to prevent the entry of Portuguese into the territory. He also left instructions to withdraw from Candelaria, sending an observation force to Paraguay, to settle in Santo Tomé and watch the movements of Paraguay and Portugal. From there they would be near La Cruz, Yapeyú and other places in danger of being invaded. Similar instructions were sent to the other authorities two days later.

Artigas took many provisions for the upcoming conflict, whose pace was intensified in the following months. Cavalry corps were organized and distributed in the strategic steps guards, and the required weapons and ammunition gunpowder was sent to Purificación.

Artigas had a counter-offensive plan: go up the Uruguay River and invade the populations near the Ibicuy River, taking the war to Brazil, and cutting the armies from reinforcements. He created as well the military units of "cívicos" and "libertos"

Consequences
At the end of the Portuguese invasion, over 4000 Uruguayans (6% of the entire population of the Banda Oriental) had been killed by the invaders in three and a half years of bloody war.

The Banda Oriental, now called the Cisplatina Province, became first part of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves and in 1822 of the Empire of Brazil after its independence from Portugal. In 1828, after the Cisplatine War, Uruguay became an independent state.

Our list below is a small but concise selection of ideas that can keep your pre-school children and toddlers busy this summer. This blog is a handy, go-to guide to pocket-friendly, nature and outdoor based activities. Whether you are a young family just starting out, a newly-commuting family, or Brighton-born and raised, here are the most environmentally aware and imaginative ideas for summer time – its focused suitability for pre-school age children – our Active Kid Nursery clientele, with perhaps the inclusion of their elder siblings and families.
With a famous stretch of south coastline, the pebbled beaches and the South Downs located a short driving distance away, the natural abundance of nearby wildlife is a fantastic way to make each summer in Brighton and Hove an inspiring, educational one at that.
For the under-fives, enthusiasm is contagious. Their discoveries and understanding of many new sights, smells, creatures, nature and environmental in their closest surroundings make for an extremely exciting time for parents; relentlessly demanding and wonderful in equal measure.
The following activities have been researched and investigated as age appropriate according to reputable educational and well known parental forums. The time we take with our children over the summer will pass so very quickly, and the following activities are merely ideas to get you started. Remember; imagination and children-led play is key to high level intellectual development. The most important thing of all though, is quality time, that will create memories forever.
Below we list a few ideas that focus upon outdoor based activities; The natural world, artistic and sports based ideas below could all work outside in the park, the famous Brighton and Hove Beach or even in your family garden!
The imaginative self-discovery elements of these activities are conducive to our combined teaching methods of Montessori, Waldorf and Emilia Reggio, which are all used in our approach at Active Kids Nursery, Hove.
The activities will solidify the developing child's respect for nature and surrounding environments; both with the enchanting and seemingly endless discovery of flora and fauna local to the Brighton and Hove, and farther afield on our beautiful South Downs and woodland, local parks and place of interest along the West Sussex coastlines.

Q: How can I achieve this shape in flutter?
I have tried with this superellipse_shape package: https://pub.dev/packages/superellipse_shape
 class SuperellipseDemo extends StatelessWidget {

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {

    return Material(
      color: Colors.blueAccent[400],
      shape: SuperellipseShape(
        borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(28),
      ), // SuperellipseShape
      child: Container(
        width: 100.0,
        height: 100.0,
      ), // Container
    ); // Material

  }

}

But the sides has to be curved instead of the corners, is there any easier way to achieve this without custom shape?

A: Try this code.
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class CustomContainer extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      body: Center(
        child: CustomPaint(
          painter: MyRectangle(),
          child: Container(
            width: 300,
              height: 300,
          ),
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

class MyRectangle extends CustomPainter {
  @override
  void paint(Canvas canvas, Size size) {
    Paint paint = Paint();
    Path path = Path();
    paint.color = Colors.red;
    path.lineTo(size.width * 0.4, size.height);
    path.cubicTo(size.width * 0.29, size.height, size.width * 0.16, size.height * 0.98, size.width * 0.09, size.height * 0.97);
    path.cubicTo(size.width * 0.06, size.height * 0.97, size.width * 0.06, size.height * 0.96, size.width * 0.05, size.height * 0.96);
    path.cubicTo(size.width * 0.04, size.height * 0.95, size.width * 0.04, size.height * 0.94, size.width * 0.03, size.height * 0.91);
    path.cubicTo(size.width * 0.01, size.height * 0.77, 0, size.height * 0.61, 0, size.height * 0.44);
    path.cubicTo(size.width * 0.01, size.height * 0.32, size.width * 0.02, size.height / 5, size.width * 0.03, size.height * 0.11);
    path.cubicTo(size.width * 0.04, size.height * 0.07, size.width * 0.04, size.height * 0.06, size.width * 0.05, size.height * 0.05);
    path.cubicTo(size.width * 0.06, size.height * 0.04, size.width * 0.07, size.height * 0.04, size.width * 0.11, size.height * 0.03);
    path.cubicTo(size.width * 0.34, -0.01, size.width * 0.66, -0.01, size.width * 0.89, size.height * 0.03);
    path.cubicTo(size.width * 0.94, size.height * 0.04, size.width * 0.95, size.height * 0.04, size.width * 0.96, size.height * 0.05);
    path.cubicTo(size.width * 0.96, size.height * 0.06, size.width * 0.97, size.height * 0.07, size.width * 0.97, size.height * 0.1);
    path.cubicTo(size.width, size.height * 0.32, size.width, size.height * 0.63, size.width * 0.98, size.height * 0.86);
    path.cubicTo(size.width * 0.97, size.height * 0.94, size.width * 0.96, size.height * 0.95, size.width * 0.95, size.height * 0.96);
    path.cubicTo(size.width * 0.92, size.height * 0.97, size.width * 0.77, size.height, size.width * 0.65, size.height);
    path.cubicTo(size.width * 0.59, size.height, size.width * 0.46, size.height, size.width * 0.4, size.height);
    path.cubicTo(size.width * 0.4, size.height, size.width * 0.4, size.height, size.width * 0.4, size.height);
    canvas.drawPath(path, paint);
  }
  @override
  bool shouldRepaint(CustomPainter oldDelegate) {
    return true;
  }
}

My Output is:

A: You can use CustomPaint
here is the doc:
https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/CustomPaint-class.html

A: Save this shape as a SVG preferably with no background. Then use this tool https://www.flutterclutter.dev/tools/svg-to-flutter-path-converter/ to convert SVG to Flutter code.

A: You can create any custom designs, shapes or lines with Custom Paint. Please use the link as the reference to learn about how to do it with
Custom Paint
Or from the flutter official doc: https://api.flutter.dev/flutter/widgets/CustomPaint-class.html
Edit:
If you don't want to do it with Custom Paint then all you can do it open this image in any photo editing software and remove the background of the image and use shape where you need as an image. By importing it in assets folder.

Q: How to make ionic app to be used on mobile and PC browsers? I have a web application that designed by ionic 2 to be used on browser
my web app works fine on mobile screen, but Is possible to make it such as this below picture ?

If possible, how can I do it ?

A: Yes you can do this by using css media query.
@media only screen and (min-width: 500px) {
    body {
        width: 500px;
    }
}

hope it will work for you.
Or another perfect solution is for you.
Run this command
ionic serve --lab

After running command, on the right side of the browser, there is a buttuon "Platform", click on it and select your desired platform Android, iOS or Window or all of them.


To anybody who says that the argument stops with the words, "Supreme Court," I offer two other words: "nuclear weapons." The power to nominate justices is important, but the power to wipe out all life on earth is even more important. Maybe he doesn't pine for Armageddon, but his big mouth could start a crisis that spins out of control.
I could go on about things such as his disrespect for POWs and his strange love for dictators, but I have more personal reasons for staying off the Trump Train.
In March, he threatened to "spill the beans" about Ted Cruz's wife, Heidi. Then he retweeted a meme comparing an unflattering image of her with an old glamour photo of his own wife. When Heidi Cruz was a student at Claremont McKenna College, I was one of her advisers. Heidi combined a Phi Beta Kappa intellect with faith and kindness. The way I saw it, Trump didn't just reveal his own cruelty, he needlessly hurt someone I've known and admired for years.
Trump has promised to ban Muslim immigrants, saying, "I think Islam hates us." He has insulted Hispanics. During my 30 years of teaching in Southern California, I have had students from all kinds of backgrounds, including Muslims and Hispanics. How could I look these good people in the eye if I voted for the likes of Trump?
Closer to home, I have loved ones with disabilities. Trump infamously mocked a disabled reporter, and then denied it, claiming that he had never met the man. Like so much of what Trump says, that denial was a provable lie; the reporter had covered him many times. Trump also has spread the discredited notion that vaccines cause autism. If parents take him seriously and either delay or forgo immunizations, their kids could get the diseases that the vaccines prevent. And some of those diseases are deadly. Through his words, Trump has potentially put children at risk, and he either doesn't know or care.
Trump would not say those words. He would not know what they mean.
