Founder and Chief Instructor at Fighting Systems Unlimited Paul Webb teamed with Century for a series focusing on basic self-defense moves for all ages. This video shows how to defend from an attacker trying to choke you from the front. These instructional videos should be used in addition to and not in place of real-life martial arts training.
As the attacker grabs your throat you and pushes you back, step back with your left leg while bringing your right arm up and over both of the attackers' arms. At the same time twist your torso toward the back leg to gain leverage over the attacker.
This position allows you to easily elbow the attacker in the chin. You should aim for the jawline or right above in case they move back in anticipation of the elbow strike.
Place both of your hands on their right shoulder and knee them in the stomach. Depending on how strong they are and how hard your knee strikes land, you may want to throw several knees.
Run away and yell for help. Do not stay where your attacker is. You don't know if they have friends waiting or how long they will stay down. Get away as fast as possible and call for help.
Century Martial Arts has a variety of items available for your self-defense and martial art needs. From kubotans, training knives, and training weapons, we have the items you need for your martial art training.

Auburn beats Alabama to survive in the SEC Tournament
by: Nic Gulas
Posted: May 13, 2016 / 08:07 PM CDT / Updated: May 13, 2016 / 08:07 PM CDT
STARKVILLE, MS (Alabama Athletics) — Alabama softball fell in its SEC Tournament quarterfinal game against Auburn, 6-4, Friday afternoon at Nusz Park.
Alabama (46-12) fell behind early with Auburn (47-9) scoring four in the bottom of the first. The teams traded runs for the remainder of the game with the Crimson Tide ultimately drawing within two in the close loss. Haylie McCleney and Andrea Hawkins each had multi-hit performances, with McCleney scoring two of the team's four runs. Sydney Littlejohn (22-6) took the loss while Madi Moore pitched 3.1 effective shutout relief innings, holding the Tigers to just three hits. Rachael Walters (10-3) earned the win for Auburn while Makayla Martin posted her third save with 3.2 relief innings behind her.
Auburn wasted no time in the bottom of the first, leading off the inning with back-to-back infield singles and a walk to load the bases before Carlee Wallace laced a two-run double into the gap in left-center to make it 2-0 with two in scoring position and nobody out. A groundout moved the two runners up 60 feet, scoring one to make it 3-0, and a fielding error on the next play allowed another run to come home and make it a four-run game.
Sydney Booker drew a two-out walk in the top of the second to give Alabama its first baserunner of the day and Hawkins battled to a full count before dropping an RBI double into right center for Alabama's first hit of the day and its first run. With runners at the corners in the bottom of the second, Jade Rhodes hit an RBI single into shallow center that fell in front of a diving McCleney to give Auburn a 5-1 lead.
With one out in the top of the third, McCleney and Chandler Dare hit back-to-back doubles to score a run and make it 5-2. Auburn regained its four-run lead on an RBI single by Emily Carosone in the bottom of the third, which ended Littlejohn's outing in the circle. Alabama switched out its battery with Madi Moore entering to pitch and Carrigan Fain entering to catch with runners at the corners and two out. A walk would load the bases before a lineout ended the inning with the Tigers taking a 6-2 lead to the fourth inning.
A walk and a base hit would put two on with one out for Alabama in the top of the fourth and Auburn made a call to its bullpen as Makayla Martin entered to pitch in relief for Walters. A pair of groundouts got the Tigers out of the jam as it remained 6-2 at the halfway point of the game. The Auburn left fielder dropped a fly ball to start the top of the fifth, allowing McCleney to hustle in to second base on the two-base error. After advancing to third on a wild pitch, McCleney tagged up and came home on a sacrifice fly by Leona Lafaele to draw within three, 6-3.
Fain and pinch-hitter Caroline Hardy led off the top of the sixth with base hits and Hawkins dropped a sacrifice bunt to move both runners into scoring position with one out. Peyton Grantham lifted a fly ball to center field which allowed pinch-runner Rachel Bobo to tag up and score and draw Alabama within two, down 6-4.
Auburn couldn't add to its lead in the bottom of the sixth, giving the Tide a two-run deficit in the top of the seventh. McCleney led off the inning with an infield single and advanced to scoring position on a groundout. Lafaele put a charge into the ball but it fell short at the warning track for out number two and a groundout ended the game.

Say No To Weah's Referendum!
July 23, 2020 Parrot News Article, News 0
Authored By Julius T. Jaesen, II
I'm deeply saddened by the blatant violations of our organic law by the government of George Weah and his 4G rush to alter provisions in our constitution through a forceful and bogus referendum. The government time in and time out have cried that she doesn't have money to hold chiefdoms' elections that our law requires a responsible government to do. Now, where is the money coming from to force referendum on us to change our constitution only to satisfy the White Supremacy Agent in George Weah? We should better focus our resources on holding local government elections which is by law than holding a referendum on a few propositions that we do not find necessary to change at this time.
For example, one of the proposals is suggesting that we change the six-year term of a president to five years. This, I found it not necessary to waste taxpayer's money on. What is the real difference between six and five? It is virtually the same. Why want to spoil money on this? At least it would make sense if we were changing from 6-year term to 4-year term.
Besides, it appears disdainfully disturbing and disingenuous for the President to force dual citizenship into the proposals when the Liberian people unanimously objected and rebuked that suggestion in the constitutional review process done across the country. The noble people of this country have intoned their loudest voice that they are not prepared to place a dual citizen clause in our organic law. Nevertheless, I'm not surprised how this surfaced among the list of propositions. I can recall very vividly in 2018 during President Weah's first State of the Nation Address supporting the call to grant dual citizenship to Liberians who took up citizenship elsewhere. We know that Weah's son Timothy Weah is an American citizen and by virtue of his mother Jamaican birth, he has not lost his Jamaican citizenship as well. Now, when this law is passed, wouldn't Timothy exploit this opportunity to illegally acquire Liberian citizenship giving his father's influence for him to hold Liberian citizenship after all when Weah's quest for dual citizenship is squarely based on Timothy? The granting of dual-citizenship has not any genuine economic benefit to our country, as it would only be to the benefit of those who seeking dual citizenship not Liberia itself as a country. Without even dual citizenship being granted, we have seen Liberians who denounced their Liberian citizenship and took up American and other nationalities came to work in our country and corrupted our system and took a flight to the countries they hold allegiance to. Ellen Cockrum's case is still fresh in our memory to forget so quickly.
We see no relevance in forcing a referendum on the Liberian people at this time when we have seen how illegally and criminally the outcomes of the last referendum went in 2011. In 2011, the Johnson-Sirleaf led administration forced four prepositions on us to go to referendum, something that the Liberian people through the power of their votes objected all the four proposals to amend our constitution in the Sirleaf's referendum. But regrettably, the Unity of Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf through its learned lawyer, Varney Sherman and the late Cllr. Brumskine, rushed to the Supreme Court to overturn the popular will of the Liberian people expressed in the referendum.
Now, being cognizant of these with the memory still fresh in our minds, it seems to me that the Weah's referendum is another fiasco and a trap to impose on us an amendment to our constitution we do not support in any way and form. This is the reemergence of Ellen's referendum to forcibly change our law under the pretext of a referendum, and when our people object to all, which they are prepared to do, with Weah already showing ample interest in changing our law, he can now run to the court like Varney Sherman, Ellen and Brumskine did in the 2011 so-called referendum. Worse of all, we believe anything can happen at the Supreme Court that is already rubberstamp and has compromised its once hallowed reputation and independence. We have seen the displayed of presidential tyranny on the part of Weah to remove a sitting Supreme Court Justice only because he held a dissenting opinion to the fraudulent elections that imposed Ellen's Trojan horse, George Weah on us as President, what more if he wants to impose his will on us to change the people's voice in the referendum.
It is even shamefully embarrassing while the National Elections Commission has not set any date for the holding of the referendum, but yet Weah has gone on an illegal campaign with his growing dictatorship by placing banners with his picture all over the country to illegally change our constitution.

77% of Americans Are Optimistic About Genetics Research, Potential
January 30, 2020 – Seventy-seven percent of Americans indicate positive feelings about human genetic research, with individuals expressing interest in what genetics can tell them about human history and heritage, according to a survey from the American Society of Human Genetics (ASHG) in partnership with Research!America.
Eighty-four percent of Americans agree that further research is needed in human genetics, and 74 percent of those surveyed said that increased federal funding for research is important.
Most respondents also believe that genetics research will be important for improving their families' health, with 77 percent agreeing that this area of study will play a critical role in boosting their families' wellbeing.
The nationwide survey consisted of an online survey of 1,100 American adults, plus an additional 775 adults for minority population oversampling. The results show that people are interested and optimistic about human genetics, even as knowledge gaps persist.
"When it comes to human genetics, the US public is supportive of research, believes more research is needed, and believes it's important to national health and their families' health," said ASHG President Anthony Wynshaw-Boris, MD, PhD.
"It's exciting how curious and hopeful Americans are about this fast-paced area of research. That said, the survey shows there is still important work to do in educating the public on some genetics basics and how it might benefit them through applications like personalized medicine. It is rewarding to know they would participate in research that could help themselves or a loved one, but they also want assurances about privacy and confidentiality of that research data."
Seventy-one percent of respondents feel positive about the possibility that their physicians will have access to their genetic information. Many participants are hopeful that providers will be able to use this information to find cures for diseases like Alzheimer's or cancer (78 percent), as well as conditions like sickle cell disease, cystic fibrosis, or muscular dystrophy (60 percent).
Although many Americans are excited about physicians having access to their genetic information, the survey found that consent and privacy are critical for participation in genetic research.
Sixty-six percent of respondents would be more motivated to participate in genetic research if they knew their information would be shared only with their consent, and that their data would be kept private. Sixty-three percent oppose the use of genetic information to set insurance coverage rates, and 64 percent are against the required disclosure of genetic information for corporate wellness programs.
Respondents also indicated that insurance coverage would play a key role in their decision to participate in genetic research. Seventy-seven percent said they think insurance should cover genetic tests their doctor believes are necessary for their health.
The survey results also showed Americans still have some gaps in knowledge when it comes to genetics research. Just 41 percent of participants know that humans share more than 99 percent of our DNA, and only 45 percent know that gene therapy can't create genetic changes that are passed on to future generations.
Additionally, the public is still largely unfamiliar with key areas of genetics research, like precision medicine. While 71 percent of respondents had heard about human genetics in the past year, just one-third of participants had heard about precision medicine.
The results indicate a need for continued, improved public information about the field of genetic research and key areas of study. With most Americans interested and excited about the potential of genetics, continued education and engagement about this topic will enhance the use of genetic data in healthcare.
"Time and again, the public tells us they value medical research," said Research!America President & CEO Mary Woolley. "Americans believe in the hope research presents to improve the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities. As a nation, we must step up and invest robustly in research to find the solutions to what ails us."
Further research in genetics will promote its use and advantages to people of all backgrounds.
"It is an exciting time for human genetics and genomics, and emerging knowledge is speeding discovery and applications in research, medicine, and society," Wynshaw-Boris said. "With these advances, we seek to build a future where people everywhere benefit from human genetics and genomics research."

We offer more Photo Strip format options.
There are three Photo formats available.
Mini Photo Strip which is a 4x6 three pose post card format that prints out two photo strips. It is not perforated so it has to be cut apart.
Deluxe two-strip photo strips is a 4x8 four pose format that is perforated so the photo strips just break apart.
Deluxe three-strip photo strips is a 6x8 four pose format that is perforated so the photo strips just break apart. This is popular with weddings where the third strip can be set aside or guests can be asked to put it in a guest photo album scrap book and write notes to the bride and groom.
Digital copies of all the pictures can be delivered on a CD and/or posted online for all your family and friends to view and download.
We use high quality Dye Sublimation printers which print out your photos quickly. The photo strips are smear proof and water resistant unlike some others who use ink jet printers.
We can take our Photo Booths anywhere. They are portable and can fit through any standard door. They setup and take down very quickly. We can even move them across rough surfaces to put them were you want them.
We have Classic style self contained automatic photo booths like the kind you would see at the fair. You get in, close the curtain and have a blast.
Your photo strips will print out within 15 seconds after you exit the booth.
Other companies who rent photo booths don't have real photo booths, they are just a background and a camera. Many of them won't do outdoor events because the backdrops and fabric booths get blown around in the slightest breeze. Curtains make great sails, not great photo booths. Our Classic metal frame booths can stand up to the wind and wild guests.
Photo booths are very popular at weddings, corporate events, dances, parties, concerts, school events and proms. Your guests will love it. There will be a line for it all night long. Plus your guests will have a memento to take with them to remember your event by.

Connecting seeds with Culture and Nature in Africa
A project by African Biodiversity Network (ABN)
We are a network of individuals & organisations empowering indigenous & local communities to revive their bio-cultural diversity, seed & food sovereignty.
The African Biodiversity Network (ABN) aims to restore communities' connectedness to their Culture and to Nature. We have been working with partners and communities in 12 countries across Africa for the last 15 years to revive traditional/indigenous farming systems under threat from industrial agricultural practices. These practices have been shown to be disastrous for the environment whilst indigenous farming systems embody environmentally friendly and sustainable agroecological practices. Our emphasis is on community ecological governance that ensures that people control the output from their work – thus giving them food sovereignty.
Globalization continues to push and spread a very liberal economic development approach to the use of land and natural resources. This approach commodifies almost everything and is relentless in its pursuit of economic growth. Africa is now feeling the full force of this orientation as the world's attention shifts to the continent. This provides an urgency for our work. Our approach and methodologies help to bring connection to the land and natural resources which is necessary for facilitating healthy ecosystems for resilience. Without this depth of concern and connection, the tendency would be to continue to treat symptoms in isolation.
We support partners to consolidate, integrate and further evolve innovative strategies of working with communities on Sacred Natural Sites & Territories and governance systems. Our partners thus hold community dialogues with custodians of the indigenous knowledge and provide a platform for communities to draw and use eco-maps and calendars for advocacy work. ABN promotes a holistic ecosystems protection strategy addressing loss of biodiversity, soil and water in order to revive traditional seed, enhance crop and livestock genetic diversity for productivity and build resilience to climate change.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKwSlOQPbWM&t=6s
Operating with a lean Secretariat in Kenya, the African Biodiversity Network (ABN) works through its partners in 12 African countries (Benin, Botswana, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Togo, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe) to raise awareness around food security, biodiversity protection and climate change, with a focus on reviving indigenous knowledge and practices. We link our seed work to our work on land rights and the protection of sites of ecological, spiritual and cultural sites importance (Sacred Natural Sites). We also highlight the importance of access to land as the revival of seed is not useful without access to land.


THANKS EVERYONE! I WAS NOTIFIED (ON JUNE 14TH) THAT THEY MET THEIR GOAL! NOW THE MUSEUM WILL GET A NEW ROOF. AMAZING WHAT PEOPLE CAN DO AT $10 AND $20 A POP.
Please go to this site and check out this post. Helping this project brought back good memories of the amazing southern women in my life. Their rich history and teachings gave me perspective and a nudge towards the person I am today.

No Peace for the Dead in Callously Neglected Polish Jewish Cemetery
Posted on April 13, 2015 in: Together|Jump To Comments
On the shore of the Vistula River, about a two-hour drive south from Warsaw, sits the picturesque town of Kazimierz Dolny. It's a colorful, small community of some 3,500, popular with artists and gleaming with astonishingly well-preserved architecture of its past glory as a vibrant Renaissance-era trading hub.
Jews throughout the centuries helped create the cultural landscape of this town. At the end of the 19th century, they constituted half its population. In the mid-1930s, Yiddish filmmakers from America even came here to use the town as the location for two famous films: "Yidl Mitn Fidl," a vehicle for the film star Molly Picon; and "The Dybbuk," a filmed version of the S. Ansky play about a young bride possessed by a dead spirit.
The Holocaust ended all this, and all that's left today are some preserved synagogues and community buildings, and Kazimierz's distinctive local culinary tradition. To this day, local merchants sell the town's famous rooster-shaped challah breads and onion pastries. Concurrently, Warsaw's Jewish Community operates an exhibition center and a guesthouse in the Beitenu Synagogue. A couple of Jewish-themed restaurants enable visitors so inclined to imagine the atmosphere of prewar days.
But under the surface of this pleasant remembrance of Jewish life in the past, an ugly truth is poking out: Nearby, the bodily remains of the Jews who once thrived here lie exposed on the ground and completely forgotten, not just by the town, but even, apparently, by Poland's organized Jewish community.
Unlike the synagogue buildings in Kazimierz, the Jewish cemeteries did not survive Nazi rule. The Germans opened a Gestapo headquarters in the local monastery and wanted to pave the roads to their torture house, so they used tombstones from two of Kazimierz's Jewish cemeteries as a paving material. The New Cemetery was razed to the ground and it wasn't until the 1980's that some local non-profit groups collected tombstones from around the area and set up a lapidary on the cemetery's site. The Old Cemetery, with its graves dating back some five centuries, on the other hand, was turned into a Wehrmacht garrison, and its history after 1945 unfolded quite differently.
After the war, in the 1950s, with nothing left of the Old Cemetery, the local communist authorities decided to build a school on the plot right next to it. Twenty years later, the cemetery land itself was used to build a soccer field, and all of the lower part of the graveyard was buried in concrete.
The upper part of the cemetery was left alone. But the construction and digging caused the soil to erode, slowly spitting out the bones and tombstones of Jews buried there. Polish children would go to the local school, which was located beneath a steep cliff flecked with skulls and bones. Yet nobody in town has considered this an issue since the school was built.
Meanwhile, a key opportunity was missed to re-evaluate the condition of the tombs lying beneath the soccer field when the municipality decided to renovate the field in 2008. Polish law requires landowners to send an archaeological team to investigate and secure any findings before construction takes place at a site of possible historical importance. The process is long, tortuous and costly. In this case, the construction documents do not even once mention the soccer field that used to be a cemetery; officially, it's just land unit no. 1245/3. Deliberately or not, the city never issued any conditions for construction.
As things turned out, the renovated soccer field didn't serve children for too long. In early October 2012, the school building exploded because of a gas leakage, rendering the whole building useless and in need of demolition. A tender for building the new school was settled in October 2014, and to the cheers of local parents, a Spanish company began the construction of a new multimillion school project.
In the course of all these events, the role, or lack of one, by one key player has been striking. How much effort have Polish Jewish authorities put into preserving the dignity of their forbears' ancient bones? Local secular authorities may have turned a blind eye to the Jewish past on this piece of land. But preserving and guarding this legacy is among the prime obligations of the organized Jewish community and its leaders.
Speaking on condition of anonymity out of fear of local political forces, a former municipal official told the Forward that city authorities asked Rabbi Michael Schudrich, chief rabbi of the Jewish community in Poland, to come to evaluate the situation and give directions on how the bones should be preserved before the construction began. From Warsaw, Schudrich sent an aide, Aleksander Schwarz of the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland. But according to this source, Schwarz apparently made no remarks or comments about the condition of the cemetery and instructed the local authorities not to do anything and to leave the land as it is.
But the land as it is sends chills down the spine. Walking around the upper part of the cemetery, one can see hipbones and skulls sticking out of the ground next to empty beer bottles and leftovers from a bonfire. The steep cliff that separates the soccer field from the upper level reveals bones, skulls and stones of old Jewish graves.
Multiple attempts to reach Schudrich at his office for comment on this issue were unsuccessful. An office receptionist each time merely said that he would be in later.
But in a statement to the Forward, the Foundation for the Preservation of Jewish Heritage in Poland, the institution in charge of supervising Kazimierz Dolny's Old Cemetery, said, "Last year, our representatives visited the cemetery and did not find any exposed burials."
Joanna Stefańska moved to the town only a couple of years ago. But she already knows differently. "Everyone in Kazimierz knows that these bones are there," she said. "My children would come back from school and say they found bones at the soccer field."
In its statement, the foundation put the onus on municipal authorities to address any problems. "We are truly saddened with its condition," the statement said, "but the cemetery is not owned by the Foundation, but by the City of Kazimierz Dolny. Our Foundation has asked the local authorities in the past to secure the cliff from erosion."
One of the opponents of the city's policy toward the Old Cemetery is Tadeusz Michalak, an architect and a prominent member of the local community.
"Everyone here pretends that nothing is happening," he said. "We have advocated for commemoration of the Old Cemetery time and time again, but to no avail. None of the mayors were interested in it at the time."
Back in 2000, Michalak launched a competition for a monument design. The jury consisted of architects, historians and academics. A design was chosen, and the project just needed a green light from the city hall. Fifteen years later, it has yet to receive the authorities' approval. The appeal to the city to commemorate the cemetery was repeated last year by the organizers of the Pardes Festival, which takes place in Kazimierz each summer, but again, there came no response.
Andrzej Pisula, the current mayor of Kazimierz Dolny who was elected last December, announced in February that the cemetery will finally be commemorated and a section of its old wall will be restored, though he did not say when.
Asked about the bones in the Old Cemetery, he told the Forward that no one from the Jewish Community has talked to him about it.
"We cannot act on our own in this matter," he said. "We are open to cooperate with the [Jewish] community to solve this problem, but they've never mentioned anything."
Pisula said he would raise the issue himself at his next meeting with Jewish communal representatives.
"We are keen to resolve this situation, but right now we're in limbo on this one," he said.
The callousness seems ubiquitous, both from locals and from Polish-Jewish authorities. As a model shtetl for Hasidim and a popular retreat among Jewish artists Kazimierz Dolny, or Kuzmir in Yiddish, was one of the most important places on the Jewish map of Poland. Given the treatment of this place, one can only wonder what is happening to thousands of other cemeteries in smaller towns and villages across Poland.

Q: How to get ListView Component to scroll up on TextFieldInput UPDATE 7/15/2021:
I found another similar question that helped me a bit:
Programmatically scrolling to the end of a ListView
As of now I am able to get it somewhat looking like what I want it to, but I am still getting an overflow issue.
Here is the updated Code
home.dart
class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {

  // added a scroll controller to control my ListView
  ScrollController scrollController = ScrollController();

  void addEntry() {
    setState(() {
      entryTextController.text = '';
      this.newEntry = !this.newEntry;
    });

  // on adding an item, I will scroll up in the ListView
    Timer(
        Duration(milliseconds: 100),
        () =>
        scrollController.jumpTo(scrollController.position.maxScrollExtent)
    );
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        body: Column(
          children: [
            Container(),

               // instead of just the EntryList, I added a container
               // with a fixed height. I'll probably change this later
               Container(
               height: 500.0,
               child: EntriesList(props)
            )

          ],
        ),
        floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(onTap: addEntry)
        );
  }
}

EntryList.dart
class _EntriesListState extends State<EntriesList> {
    List<Widget> getEntries(snapshot) {

      myList = entryList.map<Widget>((entry) {
        return Entry();
      }).toList();

      myList.add(Visibility(
          visible: widget.newEntry,
          child: Card(
              child: ListTile(
            title: TextFormField(),
          ))));

     // This is the newest change. By adding a Placeholder, I am able to
     // bring the screen up on the scrollController bringing this into
    // position so that the user can then see the TextFormField

      myList.add(Opacity(opacity: 0.0, child: Placeholder()))
    return myList;
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return StreamBuilder(
      stream: _entryStream,
      builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot snapshot) {

        // Async code here ...

        return ListView(
          children: getEntries(snapshot),
          padding: EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
          shrinkWrap: true,
        );
      },
    );
  }
}

ORIGINAL:
I'm working on adding an entry to my ListView widget. Within my ListView Widget, I have embedded a hidden TextFieldInput that is shown once a user clicks the addEntry button.

My main issue is that once the list gets long enough, my list does not scroll up to allow the user to see their new entry that they are typing.

Here is my current code. In order to keep my question concise, I have removed some unrelated code.
main.dart
class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        body: Column(
          children: [
            Container(), // top widget here

            // Scrollable list of dates
            EntriesList(),
          ],
        ),
        floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton()
        );
  }
}

EntriesList.dart

class _EntriesListState extends State<EntriesList> {
  List<Widget> getEntries(snapshot) {

      myList = entryList.map<Widget>((entry) { // getting my entry widgets here
        return Entry();
      }).toList();

      myList.add(Visibility(                  // adding my hidden text input widget here
          visible: widget.newEntry,
          child: Card(
              child: ListTile(
            title: TextFormField(),
          ))));
    return myList;
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return StreamBuilder(
      stream: _entryStream,
      builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot snapshot) {
        if (snapshot.hasError) {
          return Text("Something went wrong");
        }

        if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.waiting) {
          return CircularProgressIndicator();
        }

        return ListView(                     // I added several properties in hopes that it would
          children: getEntries(snapshot),    // work but to no avail
          padding: EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
          shrinkWrap: true,
          physics:
              BouncingScrollPhysics(parent: AlwaysScrollableScrollPhysics()),
        );
      },
    );
  }
}

A: Use the SingleChildScrollView widget. Can be used in HomePage or EntriesList by simply wrapping it with the SingleChildScrollView widget. Like this in the home page:
class _HomePageState extends State<HomePage> {

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
        body: Column(
          children: [
            Container(), // top widget here

            // Scrollable list of dates
            SingleChildScrollView(child:widgetEntriesList()),
          ],
        ),
        floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton()
        );
  }
}

Or like this in the EntriesList:
class _EntriesListState extends State<EntriesList> {
  List<Widget> getEntries(snapshot) {

      myList = entryList.map<Widget>((entry) { // getting my entry widgets here
        return Entry();
      }).toList();

      myList.add(Visibility(                  // adding my hidden text input widget here
          visible: widget.newEntry,
          child: Card(
              child: ListTile(
            title: TextFormField(),
          ))));
    return myList;
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return StreamBuilder(
      stream: _entryStream,
      builder: (BuildContext context, AsyncSnapshot snapshot) {
        if (snapshot.hasError) {
          return Text("Something went wrong");
        }

        if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.waiting) {
          return CircularProgressIndicator();
        }

        return SingleChildScrollView(
          child:ListView(
            children: getEntries(snapshot),    // work but to no avail
            padding: EdgeInsets.all(8.0),
            shrinkWrap: true,
            physics:BouncingScrollPhysics(),
          )
        );
      },
    );
  }
}

Instead of wrapping ListView, you could instead wrap the StreamBuilder as well.

It's 2019 and John Romero Is Giving Away New 'Doom' Levels
By Jordan Minor 05.31.2019 :: 2:40PM EST 05.31.2019
Update: It's 2019, and John Romero's new Doom levels, "Sigil," are available now
One of the biggest gaming surprise of the last few years was that the reboot of Doom was not only good, not just great, but arguably the best game of that year. Somehow the new Bethesda-owned version of iD had managed to capture the spirit of the monumental demonic first-person shooter while also making it a game that felt acceptable in 2016, not 1993. So now the sequel Doom Eternal is by far one of our most anticipated upcoming games.
However, that's no longer the only upcoming Doom content we're looking forward to. Doom co-creator John Romero, he of luscious hair and love for The Devil, has revealed that he is making and giving away bloody brand new levels for the original PC Doom next February.
Set before Doom II and pitched as a "spiritual successor to the fourth episode of Doom," Sigil contains nine chunky new single-player campaign missions as well as nine deathmatch arenas all for free. It's pretty much an expansion pack. Remember those? Continuing the retro feel, Sigil will be distributed using the same classic WAD and MEGAWAD files Doom modders used to share custom content back in the day. And the physical version comes on USB drives designed to look like old-school floppy disks.
How would you even get a physical copy of Sigil? Romero's previous new Doom levels from a few years ago were just online. But considering the scope of Sigil, and its timing with Doom's 25th anniversary, Romero is partnering with Limited Run Games to offer physical "fan boxes." Along with the game the fan box includes a metal soundtrack from Buckethead and absolutely Satanic artwork from Christopher Lovell.
Whether you get the fan box or not, Sigil will be available to everyone in February 2019. John Romero may not be with iD anymore, but he'll always be a unholy part of Doom. For more on Doom, check out our thoughts on Doom Eternal as well as Doom's leaps to platforms like VR and the Nintendo Switch.

Your Body Journeyed Off
Poetry by Duna Ghali
Translated from Arabic by William Maynard Hutchins
Each time I've approached it, my personal effects have scattered.
The smell of a journey clings to your body.
Each time I've approached you, I've packed my personal effects.
Your body becomes my carry-on bag.
I enter it
To keep from touching the earth.
Keep your eyes fixed on mine—
Doesn't tire of tempting me
To commit errors,
And finally I quit the earth's domain.
From Hadiqa bi-'Itr Rajul (Garden Perfumed by a Man&rdquo) (Damascus: Al Mada Publishing Company, 2008).

Home Breaking News America's Real Subversives — The FBI and NSA, Spying on the Public
America's Real Subversives — The FBI and NSA, Spying on the Public
Jul 30, 2013: 8:24 am
As the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington approaches, commemorating that historic gathering where Martin Luther King Jr gave his famous "I have a dream" speech, it is important to recall the extent to which King was targeted by the government's domestic spying apparatus. The FBI operation against King is one of the most shameful episodes in the long history of our government's persecution of dissenters.
Fifty years later, Edward Snowden, who is seeking temporary asylum to remain in Russia, took enormous personal risk to expose the global reach of surveillance programs overseen by President Barack Obama. His revelations continue to provoke worldwide condemnation of the US.
In a heavily redacted, classified FBI memo dated 4 January 1956 — just a little more than a month after Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger — the Mobile, Alabama, FBI office stated that an agent "had been assigned by [redacted] to find out all he could about Reverend Martin L King, colored minister in Montgomery and leader in the bus boycott … to uncover all the derogatory information he could about King."
The FBI at that time was run by its founding director, J Edgar Hoover, who was deploying the vast resources he controlled against any and all perceived critics of the United States. The far-reaching clandestine surveillance, infiltration and disruption operation Hoover ran was dubbed " COINTELPRO", for counterintelligence program.
The FBI's COINTELPRO activities, along with illegal operations by agencies like the CIA, were thoroughly investigated in 1975 by the Church Committee, chaired by the Democratic US senator from Idaho, Frank Church. The Church committee reported that the FBI "conducted a sophisticated vigilante operation aimed squarely at preventing the exercise of first amendment rights of speech and association." Among COINTELPRO's perverse activities was an FBI effort to threaten Martin Luther King Jr with exposure of an alleged extramarital affair, including the suggestion, made by the FBI to King, that he avoid embarrassment by killing himself.
Following the Church committee, Congress imposed serious limitations on the FBI and other agencies, restricting domestic spying. Among the changes was the passage into law of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (Fisa). Fisa compelled the FBI and others in the government to go to a secret court, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, in order to engage in domestic wiretapping.
Then came 11 September 2001, and the swift passage of the Patriot Act, granting broad, new powers of surveillance to intelligence agencies, including the FBI. Section 215 of that act is widely criticized, first for allowing the FBI to obtain records of what books people are signing out of the library. But now, more than 10 years later, and thanks to the revelations that have come from the Snowden leaks, we see that the government has used this law to perform dragnet surveillance on all electronic communications, including telephone "metadata", which can be analyzed to reveal intimate details of our lives, legalizing a truly Orwellian system of total surveillance.
In what is considered to be a litmus test of the potential to roll back the Obama administration's domestic spy programs, a bipartisan coalition of libertarian Republicans and progressive Democrats put forth an amendment to the latest defense authorization bill. Justin Amash, a Republican, and John Conyers, a Democrat, both of Michigan, co-sponsored the amendment, which would deny funding to the NSA to collect phone and data records of people who are not subjects of an investigation.
The White House took seriously the potential that its power to spy might get trimmed by Congress. On the eve of the debate on the Amash/Conyers amendment, House members were lobbied by NSA Director General Keith B Alexander, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, as well as by hawkish members of the congressional intelligence committees.

Rocks do not loose their memory during Earth history but their true ages might be distorted: even under ultra high-temperature metamorphic conditions exceeding 1200°C zircon maintains its lead content accumulated during radioactive decay of uranium and thorium.
Giga year old zircon crystals still contain lead in form of nanometre size spheres of pure lead. However, the inhomogeneous spatial distribution of the lead spheres might falsify ages determined from high-resolution Pb isotope measurement with ion probe.
Zircon is an ideal mineral for age determination of very old rocks because it is believed to be a closed system during Earth history. Zircon geochronology thus is a standard method of geological age determination. Recently, an international group of earth scientists studied zircon from 3,4 billion years old high-temperature metamorphic rocks from Antarctica with transmission electron microscopy TEM at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences. TEM investigations revealed that the lead from radioactive decay was not homogeneously distributed in zircon but was accumulated withinin inhomogeneously distributed Pb nano-spheres in zircon with only 5 to 30 nm in diameter. The inhomogeneous distribution of lead in zircon might adulterate the ages measured with high-spatial resolution ion probe technique.
Note : The above story is based on materials provided by GFZ GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam, Helmholtz Centre.

Q: Issue with gap bet between two buttons in JQUERY UI I have issue like this:

When I place button (...) I get gap like above. I'm using $('#id').button();. How can I solve this?
UPDATE
Now i saw where is an error. On that button I'm setting style(margins top and left) to bee near input filed. If i remove that style button is bellow input field and without gap. Now my question is how to place button near input filed without setting margins?

A: I'm solved by adding everything in table with one row and 3 columns..

So, if the U.S. is going to go after Chávez, they're going to let him know beforehand?
VENEZUELA: Statements Indicate Chávez May Indeed Be in Somebody's Crosshairs
CARACAS, Mar 9 (IPS) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez has repeatedly claimed that the U.S. government has plans to assassinate him and thus trigger chaos that would allow it to intervene militarily and take control of the South American country's huge oil reserves.
Now, recent statements by the top U.S. official in Venezuela appear to back up his fears of a plot against his life.
In an interview last weekend with the Peruvian newspaper El Comercio, Venezuelan Vice President José Vicente Rangel reported that former U.S. Ambassador Charles Shapiro had warned him of the possibility of an attempt on Chávez's life.
Shapiro, who served as ambassador to Venezuela from 2001 to 2004, "did not go into details, but felt he was obliged to share this information with us, for legal reasons," Rangel added.
In the mid-1970s, Washington officially prohibited the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) from planning or participating in assassination attempts against foreign leaders.
On Tuesday, the current U.S. ambassador to Venezuela, William Brownfield, admitted that "Vice President Rangel is telling the truth. On two occasions, Ambassador Shapiro informed the Venezuelan authorities of actions against the current administration." Brownfield did not clarify the origin of these actions.
"The first time was in April 2002, when he spoke to the (Venezuelan) president about the possibilities of a coup," said Brownfield.
On Apr. 11, 2002, Chávez was ousted in a short-lived coup, and business leader Pedro Carmona was named de facto president. But just two days later, Chávez was restored to power by loyal factions of the military, backed by massive popular demonstrations.
"The other time was in September or October, when (Shapiro) spoke with Vice President Rangel about a possible assassination attempt," said Brownsfield, who added that in both cases, the former ambassador was acting as required by U.S. law.
In January, Cuban President Fidel Castro, a staunch Chávez ally, also warned of plans to kill the Venezuelan leader.

000031340 - RSA ECAT 4.x Metascan disabled with "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime"
Issue ECAT 4.0.x / 4.1.x / 4.2.x Metascan is disabled with warning "String was not recognized as a valid DateTime".
WARNING: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime.
Cause In order to enable the Metascan the RSA ECAT Server service requires responses in English (United States) date format (M/d/yyyy).
Resolution Change on the ECAT ConsoleServer appliance in the operating system to use the date format (M/d/yyyy).
Change the date format also on the Opswat Metascan appliance if it is running on a different server from the ECAT Server.
2. The Metascan services will generally be installed to run as "Local System", and if the Windows Server was originally built not with US date format then this service will still use the other date format.
Click "Copy settings" in the "Welcome screen and new user accounts" section.
Note the Current user format should be showing "English (United States)", and Welcome screen will not be showing "English (United States)".
Under "Copy your current settings to:" tick the "Welcome screen and system account".
Now the format should show "English (United States)" for both Current user and Welcome screen.
3. Stop/start the Metascan services, and then the RSA ECAT services.
Workaround Should the change to US date format not be allowed on the Windows Servers, and the problem date format is set to (d/M/yyyy).
Then wait to start the RSA ECAT service on the 1st to 12th of each month.


In order that the character of Repton and Milton shall endure, it is essential that all possible steps be taken to define, preserve and improve the features that make the villages distinctive. It is hoped that this document will be a guide for anyone planning development in or around the villages, for a householder wanting to build an extension or make alterations to existing buildings and landowners planning tree felling or new planting.
The Village Design Statement (VDS) endeavours to describe Repton and Milton and their surroundings as they are today, highlighting the individual and collective characteristics that make the settlements distinctive. The VDS has been compiled by local residents, through a process of public consultation, with help and advice from Officers of the South Derbyshire District Council and support from the Repton Parish Council and Repton Village Society.
The VDS adds local guidelines for Repton and Milton to the overall policies on housing, environment etc. contained in the South Derbyshire Local Plan. As such the VDS does not cover all the policies and requirements to be met by a development, alteration or tree felling in the conservation area. The Local Plan covers many issues, some applicable to Repton and Milton, such as; policies and definition of the development boundaries, conservation areas, environmentally sensitive areas (e.g. the Old Trent and the Osier beds on Main Street), areas of open spaces and undeveloped land (e.g. The Crescent, Saxon Croft field, Matthew's Farm and near the Mitre), as well as policies on developments in villages and the countryside and listed buildings.
The Local Plan and Supplementary Planning Guidelines (including Conservation Area Character Statements) should be the first references addressed in a planning application. The VDS supplements them with those aspects particular to Repton and Milton. Some aspects such as density of housing and parking requirements are set in national Planning Policy Guidance Notes (PPG's). The local guidelines in the VDS can be used when residents comment on planning applications. These guidelines are not intended to be exhaustive, but are included to assist any person considering design change in order to integrate it into the parish.
It is to ensure changes that take place in the future fit in with what is best in Repton and Milton today. It lays down what residents feel is important and is readily available to residents, developers and local planners, to help in the process.
The Village Design Statement has been reviewed in the light of changes in the Parish of Repton and Milton. A review of the guidelines shows that the only change is to recognise the need for housing for the elderly and the guidelines support the policies in the Neighbourhood Plan.
Repton is a village with a long history. It was the ancient capital of Mercia where in AD 653 Christianity was first preached in the Midlands. The conversion of the Mercian royal family led to the building of the 8th century crypt that now forms part of the church. Repton was invaded in 873-4 by the Vikings as an over wintering place, the defences included the religious buildings. The area was subject to extensive archaeological work in the 1970s and 1980s. The Augustinian Priory was founded in 1172 and the church much enlarged between the 13th and 15th centuries. There were statute fairs, based round the Cross, from medieval times up to the end of the 19th century.
The Priory was closed when Henry VIII caused the dissolution of the monasteries in 1538. Many buildings were demolished before a free school was set up in 1557 in what is now the Old Priory. The next major development was the building of the toll bridge to Willington in 1839. Together with the new railway station at Willington this led to a large expansion of the Public School which has had a major impact on the village.
The character of the village has been brought about by this history, subsequent changes in industry and the development of motor transport, meaning that many residents now work outside the village.
The area of the Cross and Church are obvious landmarks but the character of the village is much more diverse and will affect, and be affected by, changes in the buildings, roads and related features.
Milton is a hamlet, separate from Repton, established well over a thousand years ago, which needs protection if it is to retain its essential rural character.
Two words feature prominently throughout the history of Milton; hamlet and farming. From the late 14th century onwards, there are records of various land/property transactions, including the purchase of the Foremark estate by the Franceys family in 1387, of which Milton was a small part. Subsequently the land passed to the Burdett and Harpur families and then finally to the present owners, the Church Commissioners for England. The majority of the 80 houses in and around Milton are now privately owned.
