Q: Dart - error doing deserialization of FCM Json notification I have an app made in flutter 1.22.2, and I'm putting together a "Notification Center" view. When the notification arrives at the device, it arrives in json format, and I'm trying to make a decode, to display it in this view.
     fcm.configure(
  onMessage: (message) async {
    try {
      print("onMessage: $message");
     PushDecode.fromJson(message);
     print(PushDecode().notification.title);

    } catch (e) {
      print(e);
    }
    return message;
  },
  onLaunch: (message) async {
    print("onLaunch: $message");
  },
  onResume: (message) async {
    print("onResume: $message");
  },
);

My decode class:
// final pushDecode = pushDecodeFromJson(jsonString);
import 'dart:convert';

PushDecode pushDecodeFromJson(String str) => PushDecode.fromJson(json.decode(str));

String pushDecodeToJson(PushDecode data) => json.encode(data.toJson());

class PushDecode {
  PushDecode({
    this.data,
    this.notification,
  });

  Data data;
  PushNotification notification;

  factory PushDecode.fromJson(Map<dynamic, dynamic> json) => PushDecode(
        data: Data.fromJson(json["data"]),
        notification: PushNotification.fromJson(json["notification"]),
      );

  Map<dynamic, dynamic> toJson() => {
        "data": data.toJson(),
        "notification": notification.toJson(),
      };
}

class Data {
  Data({
    this.title,
    this.message,
  });

  String title;
  String message;

  factory Data.fromJson(Map<dynamic, dynamic> json) => Data(
        title: json["title"],
        message: json["message"],
      );
  Map<dynamic, dynamic> toJson() => {
        "title": title,
        "message": message,
      };
}

class PushNotification {
  PushNotification({
    this.body,
    this.title,
  });
  String body;
  String title;
  factory PushNotification.fromJson(Map<dynamic, dynamic> json) =>
      PushNotification(
        body: json["body"],
        title: json["title"],
      );
  Map<dynamic, dynamic> toJson() => {
        "body": body,
        "title": title,
      };
}

I have received this error when I run the code.
I/flutter (xx): onMessage: {notification: {title: Test one, body: Test one body}, data: {title: number 1, message: number too}}
I/flutter (xx): NoSuchMethodError: The getter 'title' was called on null.
I/flutter (xx): Receiver: null
I/flutter (xx): Tried calling: title

What happens is that the onMessage () try goes straight through the decode class, and the error pops up, returning null, what should I do?

A: Try using PushDecode.fromJson(jsonDecode(message.data));
You might be getting it as a string.

Qatar vs Guatemala Prediction and Betting Tips
Qatar will lock horns with Guatemala at the La Rosaleda Stadium in Malaga, Spain, on Sunday (October 23) for a friendly as they continue their preparations for the FIFA World Cup in Qatar next month.
The hosts are set to make their World Cup debut on November 22 against Ecuador in Group A, followed by clashes against Senegal and The Netherlands.
The Maroons have participated in plenty of international games in recent years, playing 17 this year (including unofficial friendlies).
Earlier this month, Felix Sanchez's side were in action against Nicaragua, beating the CONCACAF outfit 2-1 in Marbella on October 12.
Qatar are set to play just two more games after this – against Honduras and Panama – before starting the highly anticipated World Cup at home.
Guatemala, ranked 68 places below them, saw their wait for a first-ever World Cup appearance go up in smoke after another unsuccessful qualifying campaign.
However, Los Chapines are looking to make it to the 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup and have fared relatively well in the Nations League.
With seven points from four games, they're second in Group D and aiming for a promotion to League A.
Qatar vs Guatemala Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
This will be the first meeting between Qatar and Guatemala.
This will be Qatar's eighth friendly of the year. They've won only three of the previous seven – 2-1 vs Bulgaria, 2-1 vs Ghana and 2-1 vs Nicaragua
On the flip side, the Maroons have also lost just one friendly this year – a 2-0 defeat against Canada.
After back-to-back defeats to Colombia and Honduras, Guatemala could lose three in a row for the first time since a run of four losses between September to November 2018.
In case of a draw, Guatemala will go three games without a win for the first time since a run of five between July to September 2021.
Qatar vs Guatemala Prediction
Qatar are in their last leg of friendlies before the World Cup and could play a strong team.
🇬🇹 Guatemala en la práctica. El domingo el elenco de Luis Fernando Tena se medirá en partido preparativo Vs. Qatar.✅ Información que llega gracias al patrocinio de @AyuntamientoLAG https://t.co/KzwkF0qrNc
Guatemala, meanwhile, have nothing to lose here, but they've been poor recently, and the Maroons have the attacking quality to see them off.
Prediction: Qatar 2-0 Guatemala

Working on the blog, trying to put some items together – and I begin to procrastinate. We all do it, and it's even easier to do if what you're working on is internet based. Fifteen minutes in & I'm reading some posts on a highly informative/friendly group on Facebook, called Travel Bloggers. On there I came across some people discussing the possibilities of travel to & through Myanmar (Burma to some).
Well, luckily, someone had been there before, had blogged about it & now was passing on the information to someone else. That 'someone else' wasn't me – but it is now.
I read one of the posts and immediately fell in love with the world in which I found myself. I don't want confess my love to much, I don't want to sway peoples opinions; but look some of the pictures I've selected & try and tell me you wouldn't like to be on the plane with me? Hopefully, Franca will be.
I watched a film titled "They Call It Myanmar" on Netflix last night, if you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. Very informative.

Transnation
Wiki (current section)
Transnation is the speculated fan-title for SOPHIE's second studio album, based on an unreleased song of the same name, for which a music video had been filmed prior to SOPHIE's untimely death. There is no confirmed title, track listing or release date, although there have been many alleged ones spread around fan communities.
In a 2020 interview, SOPHIE said that the COVID-19 pandemic had made her reconsider the direction of her second album, leading many to believe the project, at least in its current state, would be scrapped; "Whatever is put out into the world now needs to somehow be reactive to and learn from this situation," she said. "I feel some kind of shift of consciousness is occurring, whether that's me coming into this more reflective place or whatever else it is, and I'm curious to know how that might manifest itself musically."

Formerly - The Humberside Theatre / Spring Street Theatre

The original Hull Truck Theatre was on Spring Street, Hull (Shown Right) and became home to the Hull Truck Company on the 4th of April 1983 when they opened it with a production of 'The Adventures of Jasper Ridley' by Nigel Williams.
Right - The old Hull Truck Theatre, Spring Street on the 17th of February 2009, the week the Company moved out - Courtesy Marcus Heald.
The Theatre had originally opened in 1970 under the name of the Humberside Theatre and was a reconstruction from a former Church Hall called the St Stephen's church rooms.
The Humberside Theatre was managed by the Magician Jon Marshall and featured plays from many companies, Hull Truck included, and a lot of work from local playwright Alan Plater.
The Revd. Henry West MBE had been the Vicar of Sculcoates in the 1960s and during his tenure the Diocese had asked him to take on the next door parish as well. This included the church hall and worship centre of St Stephen's (the church was destroyed in the blitz). In the late 1960s he knew Alan Plater who at the time was trying to establish the Hull Arts Centre and had run into difficulties with negotiations for premises, and it looked as if the whole idea would collapse. St Stephen's was surplus to the Church's requirements and they were looking round for options for its alternative use. Revd. Henry West mentioned this to Alan Plater, who, once he had looked at the premises, bit his hand off and the deal was done. - This information courtesy Revd. Henry West MBE.
The Theatre was renamed the Spring Street Theatre in 1981 but closed down the following year and remained empty until the Hull Truck Company, who had been producing touring productions since 1971, beginning with productions in the back of a truck, hence the name, moved in, in 1983.
The Hull Truck Company are one of a very few producing companies in Yorkshire. The Spring Street Hull Truck Theatre's auditorium was refurbished in 1994 and had a capacity of 200.
In 2006 work began on the building of a new Theatre in Ferensway, Hull for the Hull Truck Company by the Quarmby Construction Company, which was completed in 2009 at a cost of £15.5 million and funded by the Arts Council, Kingston Upon Hull City Council, and the European Regional Development Fund.

The new Hull Truck Theatre was scheduled to open on the 23rd of April 2009, Shakespeare's birthday and St George's Day, but actually opened to the public on the 25th of April 2009 with a production of 'Funny Turns' by John Goodber.
The new Hull Truck Theatre's main house has an auditorium capable of seating 440 people in some comfort. The thrust stage can be manually raised or lowered depending on the production requirements and has a void beneath the entire stage which enables the inclusion of an orchestra pit for some productions.

The new building also houses a smaller studio Theatre and educational space called Inter@ct with 134 seats, spaces for corporate entertainment, and a cafe / restaurant and many bars.
The BBC reported on the closure of the Spring Street Theatre and the opening of the Ferensway one in February 2009, view their video piece here.

Higgins and Trump Sent Crashing
Ronnie O'Sullivan recovered from a slow start to eventually reach the fourth round of the first Players Tour Championship event of the season with ease at The Academy in Sheffield.
The former world number one endured a nightmare season last year, a lot of which was down to his own making as he withdrew from several tournaments including most of the PTC series.
However, 'The Rocket' seemed to be in slightly better spirits toward the end of the last campaign having been in contact with a sports psychologist and began 2011/12 in fine form despite an early wobble.
Veteran Mike Hallett came through two qualifying rounds to book a meeting with O'Sullivan – the first time the pair had met since 1995 – and took the opening two frames to set up an unlikely upset.
O'Sullivan, though, dug deep and, despite not firing on all cylinders, carved out a 4-2 victory before turning up the gas against Andy Hicks and Bjorn Haneveer in the following rounds.
The story of the day, though, was the defeat of John Higgins by Thailand's Dechawat Poomjaeng.
World champion Higgins seemed to be cruising to a comfortable early success only for his unheralded opponent to come from 3-1 behind to win 4-3.
Higgins only lost two matches last season that carried ranking points and, despite the relative minor nature of a single PTC event, the Scot will not be pleased at his start to the campaign.
Meanwhile, Judd Trump, who lost to Higgins in the final of the World Championship suffered a 4-1 defeat to Q-School victor David Gilbert.
Judging on his Twitter updates, Trump has been enjoying himself since his emergence into more widespread stardom and it appears unlikely that he has had much time to practice.
Yet, the China Open champion will have to begin doing so because there are a host of players, professional and amateur alike, who are eager to perform well in the early part of the season and, in particular, the PTC series.
Two of those amateurs, Gary Wilson and Eden Sharav, meet in the last 32 with the latter dropping only one frame on route against Adam Duffy and, more impressively, Liang Wenbo.
Gilbert himself appears to be in superb form and reaping the benefits of the confidence boost he earned from claiming a Main Tour spot from qualifying school.
The Englishman followed his victory over Trump with equally impressive wins against Jamie Cope and Jimmy White.
'The Whirlwind' had earlier enjoyed two exhausting 4-3 deciding frame wins against Ireland's David Morris and fellow stalwart Alan McManus but could not prevent Gilbert in a late night clash.
In other notable runs, Stephen Maguire and Stuart Bingham progressed to the last 16.
As I write this the clock ticks past 12am and there are still many matches still in progress which is a little ridiculous.
Only 8 tables are in use at The Academy, with the format using a rolling system of one match finishes and another starts, but it is clear that with so many participants at least 10 tables, if not 12, are needed for an event of this capacity.
Tomorrow, the top half of the draw begins the mini-marathon. Results and latest scores can be sources at www.snooker.org

The woman representing Philippines won The 67th Miss Universe crown Sunday. Catriona Gray was crowned during the event at The Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani - Bangkok, Thailand. The runner-up was Miss South Africa, while the second runner-up was Miss Venezuela.
According to the organizers, the Miss Universe contest is more than a beauty pageant, women aspiring to become Miss Universe must be intelligent, well-mannered, and cultured. Often a candidate has lost because she did not have a good answer during the question responses rounds; although this section of competition has held less importance during recent pageants than it did in the twentieth century. Delegates also participate in swimsuit and evening gown competitions.
The winner is assigned a one-year contract with the Miss Universe Organization, going overseas to spread messages about the control of diseases, peace, and public awareness of AIDS. Aside from the job, the winner also receives a cash allowance for her entire reign, a New York Film Academy scholarship, a modelling portfolio, beauty products, clothes, shoes, as well as styling, healthcare, and fitness services by different sponsors of the pageant. She also gains exclusive access to events such as fashion shows and opening galas, as well as access to casting calls and modelling opportunities throughout New York City. When Donald Trump owned the pageant, the winner was given the use of a Trump Place apartment in New York City during her reign, which she shared with the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA titleholders. If the winner, for any reason, cannot fulfill her duties as Miss Universe, the 1st runner-up takes over.
Aside from the main winner and her runners-up, special awards are also given to the winners of the best National Costume, Miss Photogenic, and Miss Congeniality. The Miss Congeniality award is chosen by the delegates themselves. In recent years, Miss Photogenic has been chosen by popular internet vote (the winner used to be chosen by media personnel covering the event).
First time in history Miss Universe will be elected by people around the world rather than by small group of jury. We believes in the freedom of expression with love, Support your preferred beauty pageant by voting and inviting friends to Vote.
Miss Universe is an annual international beauty contest. It was founded in 1952 in California.
This voting poll may become a good starting point for many across the world: Why vote? What is beauty contest? When is miss universe? Who are miss universe winners?
The Miss Universe Beauty Pageant is a worldwide phenomenon. Ladies form all over the planet compete for 1st prize, they are nominated on looks, physique and personality. Over the years, the personality aspect and miss universe questions have become more and more important for selecting miss universe winners list rather than miss universe swimsuit.
There are many reasons why the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant and miss universe winners, are good example to women around the world. Here are the top 5 reasons you should vote for miss universe contestants.
In recent years even some democratic elections have been held online. Voting online not only saves on the carbon footprint, it also means your vote is cast instantly. You should vote online because most beautiful miss universe is waiting for your support.
Supporting the miss universe pageant is also supporting your favourite woman in the competition and get her to winning miss universe list. If you want your country to win, you must support your woman as she goes through the various stages of the competition and receive miss universe crown.
The list of miss universe has become a symbol of the human spirit, you don't need any marketable skills to win. You don't need any of these things to win the contest. What you do need is a strong human spirit and the will to win. It is no surprise that many past winners of the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant have also succeeded as humanitarians and peace keepers around the world. Supporting these women supports the human spirit.
It may be a cliché that in the circle of the contest, world peace is batted around as a tool to leverage the winners podium. But actually it is a very important thing to consider. Many of the contestants have done great amounts of work to secure peace both at home and abroad. Supporting these women supports peace.
Although the beauty aspect of the contest has taken a back seat in recent years, it is still a beauty pageant. There is nothing wrong with promoting the beauty of the physical female form. In a world where we can sometimes be saturated with aggressive sexual imaginary. It is important to have a contest where the simple physical nature of the female form, is admired. And proportional elegance is deemed better than over the top unnatural body modifications.
Ultimately the list of miss universe winners is about purity, peace and love. It allows women from around the world to congress, to talk and communicate as the mothers and teachers of our planet.

Chatbots – the new apps
by Andy Mayer
read time:
I've recently been following a series of online courses from MIT and Stanford on Machine Learning – learning all about chatbots, artificial intelligence and conversational interfaces. This led me to design and develop an AI-powered chatbot for mental health support in Sheffield. Yoomee can now help you research, design and prototype new ways of using this futuristic technology for social good.
A chatbot is a piece of software designed to simulate realistic human conversations. Chatbots can run on instant messaging platforms, such as Facebook Messenger, can have helpful and involved conversations with people and act as virtual personal assistants.
Gartner predicts that by 2019, 20% of all user interactions on phones will take place via virtual personal assistants with many mobile apps fading as a result. According to Gartner in the same timeframe, virtual personal assistants powered by artificial intelligence "will have changed the way users interact with devices and become universally accepted as part of everyday life."
The problem with chatbots
In the past chatbots have had a reputation for being really dumb when trying to have conversations with humans. Such chatbots were programmed with loads of rules, like a massive flowchart, in an attemtp to emulate intelligent responses. This approach was very labour intensive to build, and the problem was, if the human didn't respond exactly as expected, then the computer couldn't understand anything that was being said.
However, with recent advances in artificial intelligence technology, we can now use very powerful machine learning algorithms to accurately understand and interpret the intent behind conversations. And it's pretty impressive!
Rather than relying on a set of rules machine learning works by using "training data" – a huge pool of example inputs mapped onto the expected correct output. Using statistics and mathematical algorithms, the computer can see how similar the input is to the example, and then make an educated guess at the meaning – in a similar way to the way the human brain works.
This opens up a myriad of opportunities for building conversational interfaces where a human can talk naturally with a machine – and the computer can understand, and respond intelligently in real-time, like a human personal assistant.
Introducing Pebble
Pebble is a new proof-of-concept chatbot we've developed at Yoomee which uses powerful Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and machine learning to understand the meaning of what people are asking for.
Its objective is to signpost people in Sheffield to where they can get help with mental health problems.It currently understands 33 different types of mental health problems and eight ways of accessing support – which means it can cope with 264 different types of conversation. The more people that use it then the better it will get at understanding.
If you'd like to help us train Pebble about what help is available in Sheffield, then please do get in touch.
We're also working on making Pebble available through Facebook Messenger and the Google Home Speakers so you can give voice commands and interact with services through Google's intelligent personal assistant, called Google Assistant.
Chatbots are the new apps
2017 has been the year of the chatbot, and the technology seems ready for prime-time due to many factors coming together at the same time:
Thirst for instant. Research indicates that people are willing to wait no more than two seconds for a web page to load. So, getting an instant reply from a chatbot is a very attractive alternative to using a website.
People use instant messaging more than anything else. A 2014 report from Forrester found that time spent on messaging apps exceeds time spent on social media – and this figure has been growing ever since.
Artificial intelligence (AI) as a service. Big technology companies like Facebook, Google, Amazon and IBM all make their AI technology available for others to use. There is no need to build your own technical infrastructure.
Chatbots are multi-platform
Don't forget that many different messaging platforms can be used by chatbots. The main ones are Facebook Messenger, Twitter and WhatsApp and the overall user base is growing massively. But there are also traditional platforms such as SMS and email. It's also possible to deliver these conversational experiences using voice-controlled smart speakers, such as Google Home, Alexa and Apple's Siri.
In 2016 there were about 2.5 billion people registered on at least one messaging app. By 2018, this number is predicted to increase to 3.6 billion users.
How we built Pebble
I started off by using Google's DialogFlow service to build the Pebble chatbot in Node.js. Then I migrated away from DialogFlow to IBM's Watson Assistant (formerly Watson Conversation). In my opinion, Watson is way more powerful than Google's offering as IBM has been in this game for much longer than Google. IBM Watson wowed the tech industry with its 2011 win against two of Jeopardy's greatest champions. In my tests Watson was much better able to understand the meaning of text better than Google's DialogFlow.
I've since migrated away from IBM Watson to the industry-leading open source AI technology from Rasa which means we can host and run the chatbot ourselves without relying on a third-party cloud provider of AI. Being open source, Rasa also allows me to customise the backend code and tweak the user experience.
Don't be left behind
Chatbot adoption has already taken off in the US where more than half of those between the ages of 18 and 55 have used them, according to research by Business Insider. If you'd like to explore how your service users could benefit from using chatbots, then please do get in touch. We can help you research, design and prototype new ways of using this amazing technology.

VOA Website Traffic Spikes Following Death of Osama bin Laden
Voice of America website traffic was up sharply this week, as users around the world searched for news and information about al Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and his death during a U.S. Special Operations raid in Pakistan.
On Monday, there was a 180% spike in the number of visits to VOANews.com websites from Pakistan, compared to the number from the previous Monday. Traffic to the Urdu language website on Monday was double what it was on the same day a week earlier and its highest one-day total ever.
Overall, visits to VOANews.com websites from outside the United States were up 25% from the previous Monday. Visits from the Middle East to VOA's English, Pashto, Dari, and Deewa Radio websites were at their highest level in the past year.
VOA Director Danforth W. Austin says "the increase in web traffic clearly demonstrates the importance of delivering accurate, objective and comprehensive news products to our target audience on the platform that best fits the region. These numbers show people in the region have increasingly come to rely on Voice of America websites as a trusted source of information."
In addition to the spike in web traffic, VOA Urdu, English, Dari, and Pashto language mobile sites also saw significant increases in visits. Urdu language mobile traffic was up 250% from the previous Monday, Pashto was up 150% and Dari was up 100% from a week earlier.
VOA's main English website, www.voanews.com, which streamed President Barack Obama's announcement of the death of Osama bin Laden, and has had continuous coverage of the U.S. and worldwide reaction to the news, saw Monday's traffic from Africa jump by 200% over the previous Monday. Visits to the English site from the Middle East were 80% higher and from Asia the number of visits was up by 50%.
VOA's English website was among the first to report details about the Pakistani man who used his Twitter account to report that a helicopter had crashed in the garrison city of Abbottabad during the raid on bin Laden's compound.
VOA programs are broadcast on radio, television, the Internet and increasingly on mobile platforms.

Cain could benefit handsomely from '9-9-9'
Presidential candidate Herman Cain made over a dozen stock sales over the past year and a half that earned him between $230,000 and $1.3 million in capital gains — income that would not be taxed at all under his "9-9-9" plan.
Fuzzy math behind Cain's 9-9-9 plan?
Oct. 16, 2011, 12:17 AM UTC / Source: NBC News
Presidential candidate Herman Cain made over a dozen stock sales over the past year and a half that earned him between $230,000 and $1.3 million in capital gains — income that would not be taxed at all under his "9-9-9" plan, according to his own financial disclosure statement reviewed by NBC News.
Cain's 9–9-9 proposal has kicked off fierce controversy spurred by criticism that it will primarily benefit wealthy Americans — in part by eliminating all taxes on capitals gains from the sale of stocks and bonds.
Former Reagan administration official Bruce Bartlett recently called Cain's proposal a "distributional monstrosity" because "with no tax on capital gains, the rich would pay almost nothing" while taxes on the poor and working class would increase.
On Saturday, Bartlett said Cain, the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza, is one example of the sort of wealthy investor who would reap the most benefits from his proposal. "No question about it," said Bartlett. "The wealthier you are, the more your income is going to come from capital gains. And (Cain) is a wealthy man."
On Saturday, Cain's campaign did not dispute the figures on Cain's income from stock sales, calculated from his disclosure statement filed with the Federal Election Commission on August 24, 2011.
But J.D. Gordon, his spokesman, said Cain under his proposal would still have to pay nine percent in income taxes — "the same as everybody else." He added that the candidate's plan to set uniform income tax rates and eliminate all capital gains taxes would expand the economy and create jobs by spurring new investment.
In an interview this week, Rich Lowrie — a Cleveland-area market analyst who serves as Cain's chief economic adviser and helped craft the 9-9-9 plan — said there is nothing unfair at all about eliminating capital gains taxes for stock investors like Cain.
"If you want the same treatment as Herman Cain, it's available to everybody," he said in an interview. "All you have to do is work and follow the same path as Mr. Cain. That's fairness."
Cain is hardly the wealthiest of Republican presidential candidates. Mitt Romney's financial disclosure, for example, shows that he is worth between $190 million and $250 million — far more than Cain — with tens of millions of dollars in reported income from capital gains. But Romney has not called for the elimination of all capital gains taxes — only for middle class families, a proposal that is similar to one supported by President Obama. (Texas Gov. Rick Perry has asked for an extension and not yet filed his disclosure statement with the FEC.)
Currently, the tax rate on long-term capital gains from the sales of stock is 15 percent for those in the 25 percent income tax bracket or higher — and is slated to increase to 20 percent in 2013. It is impossible to know how much in capital gains taxes Cain has paid on his stock sales because his financial disclosure statement provides no information on how much he paid for the stocks he sold or when he purchased them. Gordon, his spokesman, declined to say whether Cain would release his income tax returns.
But Cain's financial disclosure with the FEC shows that he has profited from a multifaceted business career that earned him $846,691 from a radio talk show, speaking appearances and directors fees on three corporate boards during the 20-month period covered by the statement (Jan. 1, 2010, to this August). His total net worth, according to figures in the statement, is between $1.85 million and $4 million.
The disclosure also shows that Cain has been an active investor in the stock market. His largest capital gains came from the sale of 5,738 shares of Coca Cola common stock. Cain reported income from that sale of between $100,000 and $1 million.
He also reported, on another occasion, a separate sale of 2,163 shares of Coca Cola stock for which he reported earning between $15,000 and $50,000. (The financial disclosure requires candidates to disclose their income from such sales only in broad categories.)
Oct. 16, 201102:16
Cain also reported capital gains from the sale of 1,999 shares of Whirlpool stock that he valued at between $50,000 and $100,000; another sale of 2,000 Whirlpool shares (valued between $50,000 and $100,000); the sale of stock in Berkshire Hathaway — the firm headed by Warren Buffet (valued at between $5,000 and $15,000) and the sale of 2,000 shares of Sonic Wall Inc. (valued at between $5,000 and $15,000). He also reported smaller stock sales in seven other firms.
The abolition of capital gains taxes is hardly the only part of his proposal that has generated debate — and fierce criticism. Under the proposal, the new 9 percent uniform income tax rate would eliminate all exemptions and deductions, including those for child care, school tuition, health savings accounts and interest on home mortgages. There would also be a 9 percent business tax and a national 9 percent federal sales tax — with no exemptions, even for food and medicine. This would be paid by consumers on top of state and local sales taxes.
Lowrie said in the interview that the elimination of "hidden taxes" built into the tax code would free up market forces and quickly lead to sharp drops in prices, resulting in no net increases paid by consumers when they go shopping.
But critics say the new sales taxes would hurt lower-income consumers the hardest. Edward Kleinbard, a professor of tax law at University of Southern California, has calculated that a family of four with an income of $50,000 could face a tax hike of more than $5,000.
"Anybody who works for a living and has an income below six figures a year is going to find him or herself very sorry that they live in a 9-9-9 tax environment," Kleinbard said.


This post is the second of three reporting highlights of some of the Maine Christmas Bird Counts. We'll take a tour along the coast in this account.
Let's begin with the York County count, conducted on December 17. This region has the most moderate climate in the state so we always expect a diversity of lingering breeding birds and migrants. This year did not disappoint.
Eastern Bluebirds have become dependable birds in December along the southern Maine coast. This year, 110 were found on this count. Other lingering species included two Great Blue Herons, three Northern Harriers, five Belted Kingfishers, four Northern Flickers, eight Carolina Wrens, a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, four Gray Catbirds, 23 Northern Mockingbirds and a Chipping Sparrow.
Fourteen species of waterfowl were present with Mallards being most abundant with 1109 observed. A Northern Pintail was a nice find.
Grebes were hard to come by. Only two Red-necked Grebes and a dozen Horned Grebes were seen. Twenty-nine Great Cormorants represents a fine total.
Other highlights along the shore were 118 Sanderlings, five Dunlin, ten Black-legged Kittiwakes, a Dovekie and 17 Razorbills.
The Biddeford/Kennebunkport count yielded 80 species on December 29. Highlights of the fine total of 18 waterfowl species were a Eurasian Wigeon, seven Harlequin Ducks and a Barrow's Goldeneye. Ten Northern Gannets were detected just offshore.
Three Dunlin were nice finds in the Maine winter. A Peregrine Falcon was found as well.
Finches were scarce with the highlight being 18 Evening Grosbeaks.
The North Penobscot Bay Count in the Belfast area resulted in a tally of 61 species on December 29. Two Wood Ducks were the only unexpected finds among 13 species of waterfowl.
Five Razorbills were a delightful surprise as was a Peregrine Falcon. Two Northern Shrikes were notable.
Among the finches, the 68 Pine Grosbeaks and 23 Evening Grosbeaks were stand-outs.
The Mt. Desert Island count on December 15 produced a list of 57 species. Twelve species of waterfowl were tallied. This area is usually good for Common Eiders in the winter and the 1502 on the count confirmed the pattern. A Barrow's Goldeneye was present.
Four Great Cormorants were unsurprising but the two Double-crested Cormorants were for this time of year.
A single Bonaparte's Gull added a fourth gull species to the count along with the more common Herring Gulls, Ring-billed Gulls and Great Black-backed Gulls.
The highlight had to be a rare Red-headed Woodpecker. Lingering species were few and far between with a Belted Kingfisher being most notable.
Just a bit to the north and east, the Schoodic Count on New Year's Day, produced a list of 62 species in the rain and snow. Fourteen species of waterfowl were highlighted by 54 Harlequin Ducks.
The count of 93 Red-necked Grebes was a fine total. The highlight of the count was the discovery of four species of alcids. In addition to the expected Black Guillemots, the Schoodic teams found 55 Razorbills, three Thick-billed Murres and, best of all, three Dovekies.

FULLERTON, CA- After five straight wins, the Cypress College women's volleyball team (15-8, 10-4 OEC) lost in five sets (23-25, 26-24, 24-26, 25-21, 11-15) on Wednesday night to the Fullerton College Hornets (13-7, 8-6 OEC).
Fullerton jumped out to an early lead in the first set, but the Chargers were not going to let their district rival off that easy. The Chargers closed the gap nearly taking the set, but the Hornets would hold on, 25-23. Down 24-19 in the second set, it looked as if the Hornets would take a two-set leadl. However, the Chargers would take the next 7 points to win the set, 26-24.
In the third set, the Chargers would be edged out by the Hornets, 26-24, but would take the fourth set, 25-21. The match would come down to a deciding fifth set. The Chargers found themselves down early to the Hornets and were unable to recover, losing the set 15-11, and the match 3-2.
Standout performers for the Chargers included Jane Woodward, Kayla Owens, and Marina Pilkington. Woodard had 13 kills on the night, with 2 block assists for a total of 15 points. Woodward led the Chargers in kills and points. Owens finished with 12 kills, 8 digs, and 2 block assist for 14 points. Pilkington added 12 kills, 1 dig, and 2 block assists.
Women's volleyball will resume OEC action on Friday at home against Santa Ana at 6:00 PM. The Chargers will close out the regular season at home next Wednesday against top-ranked Irvine Valley.


Maffei 2 is an intermediate spiral galaxy about 10 million light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia. Maffei 2 and Maffei 1 were both discovered by Paolo Maffei in 1968 from their infrared emission. Maffei 2 lies in the Zone of Avoidance and is about 99.5% obscured by the Milky Way's foreground dust clouds, and as a result is barely detectable at optical wavelengths. It had been suggested soon after its discovery that Maffei 2 may be a member of the Local Group, but it is now thought to be a member of another nearby group, the IC 342/Maffei Group, the galaxy group that is the closest to the Local Group.
Maffei 2 is the spiral galaxy near the bottom of this image.
Maffei 2 is visible in this image.

Jessica Simpson Blasted Over Possible Baby Name Choice
Jessica Simpson's baby shower has stirred up some unexpected chirping on social media. The pregnant 38-year-old star posted photos from her "Birdie's Nest"-themed party, as previously shared by the Inquisitr, prompting many fans to assume that she dropped a major hint about her third child's name.
In a series of photos, Jessica Simpson posed in a white gown and a flower crown as she referenced her baby shower event as "Birdie's Nest" in poses with her mom Tina, daughter Maxwell, sister Ashlee Simpson Ross, and bestie CaCee Cobb.
The Daily Mail also posted a photo of the lunch menu from the party, which said, "A little Birdie told me…Stuff Your Beaks," and Simpson captioned two of her post "Birdie's Nest," which fueled talk that she had just given fans an early baby name reveal.
Unfortunately, Jessica Simpson was criticized by some of her 4.4 million Instagram followers for the possible name for her unborn daughter.
Several social media followers said Birdie is a "horrible name," while another took a shot at the name Simpson gave for her firstborn daughter, writing, "At least the little girl can change her name one day. Like Maxwell."
Some followers also called Simpson out for "copying" Total Divas star Brie Bella and actress Busy Philipps, who also have daughters named Birdie.
???? Birdie's Nest ????
A post shared by Jessica Simpson (@jessicasimpson) on Jan 19, 2019 at 5:05pm PST
There were some fans that came to Jessica's defense, blasting the haters as "rude" and reminding them it's not their baby. Another fan questioned why everyone is "assuming" that Simpson is naming her baby Birdie at all, noting that Jessica and her husband, former NFL player Eric Johnson, have not yet confirmed their daughter's name. The follower pointed out that "Birdie's Nest" could just be a cute reference to a "baby bird" for the smallest baby in Simpson and Johnson's "nest" of children.
Interestingly, Busy Philipps, who gave birth to her own Birdie in 2008, "liked" Jessica Simpson's baby shower Instagram posts, Yahoo Lifestyle notes. Philipps, who received criticism after she named her daughters Birdie Leigh and Cricket Pearl, told the Today Show she gave her daughters unique names so they wouldn't need a nickname.
"Since I grew up with a nickname — Busy being short for Elizabeth — when my husband and I started to have our babies, we decided that if wanted to call our kids something, we would just name them that thing that we wanted to call them," the actress said. "I like the names. I think they're cute."
Of course, Jessica Simpson is no stranger to baby name backlash herself. The star previously received criticism for the names of her older children, daughter Maxwell Drew, 6, and son Ace Knute, 5. According to Us Weekly, Simpson and Johnson received mixed reviews on their daughter Maxwell's unique name because some people felt the double-masculine moniker wasn't appropriate for a little girl.
Jessica Simpson has not publicly responded to the reaction to her Birdie's Nest baby shower and possible baby name.

Defined by its dependable bentwood construction and simple organic form, the graceful, lightweight and surprisingly strong Era Collection has been in continuous production for more than 150 years. It is the work of Michael Thonet, who perfected the bentwood process for chair-making and in the process eliminated the need for expensive and time-consuming hand-carved joints. Swiss Architect Le Corbusier used Thonet's chairs for his projects, stating, "Never before was something more elegant and better in its conception, more precise in its realization and more fit for practical use created." Other fans of this ubiquitous form included Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, both of whom featured it in their paintings. The Era Backless Stool (1859/1998) was created by engineers at Ton – manufacturer of Thonet seating for well over a century – in response to customer requests. Like any natural material, the wood used in this collection displays slight texture and color variations from one piece to another, making each unique. Made in the Czech Republic.
Solid beech wood from FSC-certified sources; beech plywood seat; natural beech finish or water-based stain and varnish or lacquer finish; nylon floor glides.
