Wallabies selectors face a dilemma
Sorry there has been an error
SQUAD UPDATE: The Wallabies selectors face a dilemma before Saturday's Bledisloe Cup decider as they weigh up whether to play champion flank David Pocock – and, if so, where.
The breakdown king hasn't played since March due to a persistent calf injury but Wallabies coach Michael Cheika indicated last week he could be available for the return showdown with the All Blacks at Auckland's Eden Park on Saturday.
After storming to a dominant 47-26 win in Perth, the Australians have given themselves their best chance to claim the Bledisloe Cup for the first time in 17 years.
Cheika and his fellow selectors must be sorely tempted to reward the same team with selection, especially given the need to build combinations before the World Cup.
He also has a painful reminder of what chopping and changing can do.
After Australia won the opening Bledisloe match in Sydney in 2015, Cheika made eight changes for the return game in Auckland, insisting it was all about World Cup preparation, and saw his team thumped 13-41.
But Pocock is no ordinary player and, after Saturday's match, there's only one Test – against Samoa early next month – remaining before the Wallabies' opening World Cup game in Japan.
That could provide a gentler reintroduction for the valuable Pocock.
Cheika said he hadn't made a call on any changes.
"I've obviously got the selectors as well, so we will sit down and go through what we're thinking," Cheika said.
"Id like to think anyone who goes in, including the players who didn't play [in Perth], understands they are part of trying to build the squad and its mentality going forward."
If the Wallabies do decide to give 31-year-old Pocock a gallop on Saturday, they must then work out how to best use his skills – even if it means off the bench.
The Australian back-row of Michael Hooper and big boppers Lukhan Salakaia-Loto and Isi Naisairani appeared better balanced than New Zealand's and got the better of much-heralded trio Sam Cane, Ardie Savea and Kieran Read.
With the All Blacks fielding two openside flanks as the Wallabies have done in the past using Pocock and Hooper, this time it was Australia who could use their size to dominate.
With Salakaia-Loto and Naisarani providing the go-forward, Hooper shone was everywhere at the breakdown and also managed to rack up a massive 18 carries to his opposite Sam Cane's one.

Springbok fans lost their minds over Bryce Lawrence after the 2011 quarterfinal loss to the Wallabies The Wallabies, after winning the Tri-Nations earlier that year and proving their mettle as a top team to beat at the World Cup, scraped a 11-9 win that sent the defending World Cup holders unceremoniously out of the tournament.
'Out of 80 minutes you see 25 minutes of rugby and that's a problem': Former Springbok coach blasts standard of South African domestic play Mallet derided the low-risk style of play that has crept into the South African game, explaining that rugby is in the business of entertainment and the current direction of the game is heading the wrong way.
One of rugby's highest paid players narrows in on returning home to play for Jake White It had previously been reported by Network24 that Goosen was weighing up between the Cheetahs and the Bulls, but it appears that the Bulls have solidified as the preferred option according to South African sources.
'We want it to be the world's best league': Japan have sights set on global dominance with launch of new pro league The new format, which has yet to be given a name and fell short of the dramatic shake-up some had been calling for, will replace the current corporate rugby structure which features a 16-team Top League and nine-team Top Challenge League.

Bad Seed: Just wait till Fluffy figures out how to open that window.
In the midst of spring's grace and summer's radiance, God shows his cruel side.
But sometimes Nature isn't so nice. All those floods, and tsunamis, and earthquakes, and wild fires. The nasty tantrums of winter. The spring frosts that kill crops. Humidity. Mosquitoes. Hungry bears in the backyard.
Now, I've had cats all my life and I've adored every one of them, with the possible exception of a stray we named The Baron, who got into our house one night through our cat door and promptly took over the premises like he owned them. I woke up to find this big, dirty, scruffy black and grey-striped feline stretched out on my couch on his back, legs in the air, blissfully snoring. He looked so cute. But when I went over to pet him, he opened one glinting eye, hissed, and took a swipe at me, drawing blood.
The Baron was the meanest dude alive. He clawed and scratched anyone who tried to get near him. He terrorized all of us, especially my poor kitty, Trixie. He ate her food. He slept in her bed. It was just like being held hostage. We didn't dare try to pick him up and throw him out, although one day I did take a broom to him to try and scare him off. But that was like taking a broom to Osama Bin Laden. Ha. The Baron just hissed, spat and went under the bed, where he plotted more evil strategies.
Since then, I've had some wonderful, loving cats, but none so unabashedly adoring as my current young male, Junior Augustus. I've mentioned him in a few previous articles—my big, white three-year-old with the gorgeous crossed blue eyes, who adopted me two years ago and is the closest thing to a human baby I've ever had. He wants me to rock him in my arms, for hours, if possible. He sleeps with his head on my shoulder, holding my finger tight in his little paw. He lives to be kissed and cuddled, and he particularly enjoys being serenaded. Whenever I sing "his" song, "Beautiful Junior," written to the tune of "Beautiful Dreamer," he lies there with his eyes closed, grinning in ecstasy and purring so loudly he sounds like a plane ready for takeoff.
I was convinced that Junior was the sweetest cat alive, Love Incarnate, until last week, when he showed up at the door with a tiny baby bunny in his mouth.
He stood there in all his glory, presenting it to me. "Drop it!" I screamed, paralyzed with horror. He stared up at me, uncomprehending. Then he ran over to the garden, where he opened his mouth and his prize fell to the ground. It was alive and unhurt, thank God. But as it raced off, Junior raced after it, at the speed of white light. The bunny scurried through a hole in the fence and I figured it was safe, as Junior was too big to get through the tiny escape hatch. But to my amazement, Junior merely took a flying leap and soared over the six-foot fence. I prayed that the bunny made it, but a little while later, when I went out to water my pansies, there was Junior, dining al fresco on fresh rabbit.
I went inside, my heart aching. How could my angel boy do this? And why? It wasn't like he didn't have enough to eat at home. Geez. He gets his pick of everything from roasted chicken to fresh grilled salmon. I could understand why he liked to catch and play with little creatures, but as for killing and eating them, that was beyond me.
Then I remembered that Junior was a scared, skinny little stray when I found him. He'd been fending for himself since he was a young kitten, and the instinct for fresh meat was obviously firmly ingrained in him.
The next night, the scenario was repeated. Junior brought another baby bunny home, and the following morning I came out on the patio to find all that was left—a tiny pelt and two tiny bunny hind feet. As I gulped at the sickening sight, Junior came over and rubbed against my ankles, purring.
"Bad cat!" I said. But he merely purred louder and butted his head against my leg. I picked him up and cuddled him. He blinked and purred and rubbed his head against my cheek. I was confused. I loved Junior with all my heart. But he was a serial killer. I felt like the mother of Jack the Ripper.
Why, I wondered, does God allow the killing of innocents? It's the age-old cry, of course, the question mark that will forever hang over us without an answer. Those precious baby bunnies would never hurt anything. All they'd eat would be carrots and grass and roots and whatever grows in the ground. They wouldn't kill, for either sport or sustenance. Well, my sister-in-law would argue that they do ruin gardens, but heck, as far as I'm concerned, they're welcome to my vegetables and flowers. I don't mind sharing the earth's abundance, especially with such little cuties.
But ultimately, one must be realistic. If there weren't cats around to keep the bunny population in check, well, I guess we'd be overrun with the patter of little rabbit feet. When you come right down to it, Nature is cruel—and maybe, so is God. He created Junior, after all.
So, as much as I wanted to save the bunnies, I had to bow to the will of the Creator. Everything was transpiring exactly as He/She/It had intended. Junior was simply doing his cat job. And as bizarre as it seemed, my human job was to praise him.
Junior looked up at me with those irresistible crossed blue eyes and licked my cheek. I was now either a perfect mother or an accomplice to murder, depending on whose universe you were in.
So, I continue to love my cat, and to extend my heartfelt apologies to his victims. It's a terrible position to be in, but that's Nature.

Q: My 2d array is not updating even after assignment After debugging for more than an hour, I found the problem in my code. I do not understand why it updates board[y][x] but not board itself.
Here is the code:
puzzle = [
    [0, 0, 7, 0, 0, 6, 2, 0, 0],
    [1, 0, 0, 8, 9, 0, 7, 6, 0],
    [8, 0, 2, 0, 7, 3, 0, 5, 0],
    [0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 9, 5, 0, 6],
    [0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 8, 0],
    [7, 0, 3, 6, 0, 8, 0, 0, 0],
    [0, 7, 0, 2, 4, 0, 6, 0, 3],
    [0, 4, 1, 0, 6, 7, 0, 0, 5],
    [0, 0, 9, 3, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0]
];

function find_empty(board) {
    for (let y = 0; y < 9; ++y) {
        for (let x = 0; x < 9; ++x) {
            if (board[y][x] === 0) {
                return [y, x];
            }
        }
    }
    return null;
}

function is_valid(board, num, pos) {
    let y = pos[0];
    let x = pos[1];

    // Horizontal checking...
    for (let i = 0; i < 9; ++i) {
        if (board[y][i] === num && x !== i) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    // Vertical checking
    for (let i = 0; i < 9; ++i) {
        if (board[i][x] === num && y !== i) {
            return false;
        }
    }

    // 3*3 box checking
    box_start_y = (Math.floor(y / 3)) * 3;
    box_start_x = (Math.floor(x / 3)) * 3;

    for (let i = box_start_y; i < box_start_y + 3; ++i) {
        for (let j = box_start_x; j < box_start_x + 3; ++j) {
            if (board[i][j] === num && y !== i && x !== j) {
                return false;
            }
        }
    }

    return true;
}

function solve_board(board) {
    console.log("start", board);
    empty_pos = find_empty(board);
    console.log("empty_pos", empty_pos)
    if (empty_pos === null) {
        return board;
    }

    let y = empty_pos[0];
    let x = empty_pos[1];

    for (let num = 1; num < 10; ++num) {
        console.log(board)
        if (is_valid(board, num, empty_pos)) {
            console.log(true, num)
            console.log("Before assignment", board[y][x]);
            board[y][x] = num;
            console.log("y", y, ", x", x);
            console.log("After true", board[y][x])
            console.log("After true", board);
            let solved_board = solve_board(board)
            console.log("solved", solved_board);
            if (solved_board !== false) {
                return solved_board;
            }
            console.log(num, "did not work!!")
            board[y][x] = 0;
        }
        console.log(false, num)
    }
    return false;
}

console.log("result", solve_board(puzzle))

The problem is on line 72 in solve_board function.
It updates board[y][x] as seen in the console.logs, but does not affect board. Is it some reference issue or pass by value problem?
If anyone can help me solve this issue, I would be really grateful.

A: you are assigning the new value correctly. Arrays are passed to the function by reference, so there should be no problem. You can verify it with this code snippet:
const arr = [[0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0]]

function foo(x) {
  x[0][0] = 2
}

foo(arr)
console.log(arr[0][0]) // 2

There probably is some issue with the game logic itself, the conditions in the is_valid don't look right. Consider taking a look on this article explaining how to solve sudoku programmatically with logic and without brute force.
Alternatively, I suggest you look at the backtracking algorithm, which tries all possible options, which should be straightforward to implement.

Human Condition, Doleo ★★★★★ Wynter Gordon 33:02 min • wyniemusic.com • July 10, 2012 ………………………………………………………………………………………….
The way to get ahead in the music industry nowadays seems to be to write songs for other people. Jessie J and Lady Gaga, two of the biggest pop artists of the past few years, both began their career's writing hits for other artists, and New York's (Diane) Wynter Gordon has now stepped out of the studio in the same footsteps. After guesting on tracks by David Guetta and the brilliant 'Ladi Dadi' by dance guru Steve Aoki, and releasing a debut EP of very current dance-pop, called With The Music I Die, she has unleashed the first part of her new project, an album made of 4 free EP's examining the Human Condition. Doleo, meaning "Pain" in Latin, is the first part of the series.
It's interesting that, in examining the human condition with this project, Wynter has chosen pain as the first subject to explore. As an artist, I assume it's the easiest emotion to harness, and "doleo" can mean either physical pain or mental pain, so the subject matter for the songs on this EP could be as broad as the music; but it's emotional pain that is focused on here. Opener 'Giving In' recalls '90s rock chick Billie Myers, with its grinding thump and electric guitars, it's a million miles away from throwaway club tracks like 'Dirty Talk', and it's lyrics more daring in their desperation than the provocative lyrics of her previous material. You can almost feel the artistic growth seeping through.
The flawless 'Stimela' (borrowing heavily from Hugh Masekela song of the same name) and it's accompanying video, which casts Wynter as a lithe, sexual creature of movement, is what Rihanna has been begging to do for years. Authentic, moving and artistic, the song itself is perfectly epic, intoxicating without being commercial. Wynters' lyrics,
Life is one big hypocrite, like a knife against the skin, I'm a hostage in this skin, gotta help the weak ones win, so i'm running…
follow the theme's of the Zulu lyrics used in the chorus, roughly translating to "ride the train to freedom". The song is a brilliant slice of pop, and also the reason I downloaded this EP. It's a very tough act to follow. However, the glorious 'Waiting' follows on superbly, not only by being completely different, but also another brilliantly intelligent pop song. Almost ripped directly from the '80s, 'Waiting' is like a retro power ballad produced by electronica giants Pnau, and is more than a stand out track.
'Kids', probably the most overtly personal song on the record, and it examines how people change.
You used to be my hero, when we were just kids,
Wynter sings, before explaining,
You left your kids without a mother –
It's a captivatingly told story, married perfectly with music that seems to have taken its inspiration from the same place as much of Beyonce's 4 album. There's echoes of Prince and Earth Wind And Fire in there, and it fits Wynter's voice perfectly. In fact, much of the album picks up where 4 left off – whilst Beyonce didn't seem to have the courage to take her love letter to the black music of the '70s and '80s quite far enough, Wynter has run so far with it that we are bang up to date again, and we end up with a modern retro EP that lovingly respects its inspirations, but at the same time is 100% rooted in 2012.
Elsewhere, there is the sultry electro-pop of 'Bad Thing', the infectious and danceable 'No Hush', the antidote to the overt sexuality of Rihanna's 'Rude Boy',
Tell me that you love me, Or I just can't give it away –
And the deep bass of 'Don't Waste Your Time', before ending the EP on the only collaboration, the great, Kelis-esque 'Nervous', featuring alternative Hip Hop heavyweight Travis Scott.
There's a lot of things that have obviously affected Wynter Gordon on her journey to Human Condition. From a strict Christian family, and being heavily defined in the media by the promiscuous lyrical content of some of her dance collaborations, especially the David Guetta collaboration Dirty Talk, has clearly made Wynter assess the messages she wants to put across with her music, and as a result Doleo is a collection of mature, alternative pop songs, all with positive messages of growth and self respect, right from the beautiful artwork to the stunning songs underneath. Yes, I make no secret of the fact that I like my women foul mouthed and offensive, but there are times when I want my pop music to be mature, well written and meaningful rather than light, frivolous and dirty. It's in such moments that I'll pipe Wynter Gordon's beautiful messages through my headphones (as I'm doing right now) and I urge everyone to do the same.
The second instalment of Human Condition, Furor, is out this month, and I can't wait to see which direction it takes her in.

I am learning the hard way how expensive disorganization can be.
In the meantime, we were missing the ability to take photos. We have prepaid dumb phones that do not snap high quality pics. Tablets are awkward cameras. Rin has been asking for a video camera. So we found a super cheap one and bought it for him with the stipulation that we could use it until we get our camera fixed. Sadly, this video camera takes terrible pictures. Rin doesn't like it at all. So, we decided to return it. Okay, and where is the receipt? Who knows! Finally, after a week of searching, we located it in the Dude's still unpacked overnight bag. So, at least one problem is solved. But we still haven't found the warranty info on the other camera. Also, I had purchased printer paper that had a rebate and promptly lost the receipt and paperwork. A couple of days ago, the Dude went to Ace to buy Rin a pair of YakTrax (seriously one of the best products ever if you live in icy country) and forgot the $5 off coupon that has been sitting in my desk basket for a month. We are going to take the receipt and coupon in and see if they will work a deal with us. I lost so much money to Rite Aid by forgetting to keep track of the rewards dollars. We bought the boys each a pair of ice cleats, similar to Yak Trax, but cheaper and smaller, since they only go around the front of the foot, not the whole foot. We didn't have a set place to put them, and two pairs are now missing. We bought Rin a pair of YakTrax because the other kind weren't fitting his feet well, but I was fine with an extra pair of these kicking around. Now we are missing 2 pairs. At $10 each, this makes me sad. Never mind the things that we have to buy again because we think we don't have any. And the socks. Oh the socks. Our household eats socks. It is very scary.
I have decided to try to fix some of this. I have pinned a very large envelope to our message center by the front door.
This is the coat rack that greets you at the front door.
This now lives on the end of it.
I will force myself to place every receipt I come across into this envelope. The Dude can move them to his envelopes as need be. But when we have to search for one, they will be in one or two places, not in various bags and baskets throughout the house. I have designated a shoe box by the front door as the place for yak trax and ice cleats. I have hung the Ace Calendar on the message center so we can find and remember the coupons. I need to come up with a system for other coupons as well.
We have started tying allowance to chores. Not specific chores, but they need to be contributing to the household tidiness if they wish to receive allowance. This can be simple to elaborate. If someone has a lot of homework, they can pick up socks and put them in the hamper. If they don't have homework, they will need to do something like clean the kitchen or bathroom. Having them each do their part will help keep the house organized without so much work and will also help them get in the habit of cleaning as they go. I need to find a way to create a list of possible chores and check when they have completed theirs each day. Maybe an app.
Hopefully these will small changes will help get our lives in order and bring our bills down.
And here is the little dogs' new bed. An old box and a pillow by the fire (which is also next to the heater). They are happy.
I know all about missing receipts, incomplete warranty cards, and the paid bills section of my desk that is a total loser. I will get organized as soon as I figure it out.
Socks…why do you haunt me with your absence? WHY????

Q: Casting java primitives, does the JVM try to save memory? var foo = (short) 40 + (byte) 10

How many bytes does foo take up?
What is its type?
I would expect that the result is stored in a short, but to save memory does the JVM test to see if it will fit in a smaller primitive?
If it were (short) 1 + (byte) 1 would it still be a short?

A: Rule of thumb: integer arithmetic operations are done as long and result in long if either argument is long, int otherwise.
I also suspect that the JVM uses 4 bytes even to store byte and short (and boolean) variables - see JVMS 2.6.1. Local Variables and Table 2.11.1-B.

Even
var test = (byte)1 + (byte)1
will cause test to be an int.
Not the case for var test = (byte)(1 + 1)


And we are on our way! Left home at 6:30am for our 9:30am flight to Mexico City via Atlanta. Due to our TSA pre check status, we breezed through security in under 5 minutes. So far, things look like they will go smoothly. I'll post more once we are settled in CDMX (that's the new name for Mexico City)!
Have a great trip. Can't wait to read about all that you do.
Have fun you guys!! Can't wait to read more about your adventures!

Congress slams 'shastra puja' at Rafale handover ceremony in France, Amit Shah hits back
Abhinav Ranjan
Financial Express 9 October 2019
The Congress party on Wednesday slammed the 'Shastra Puja' performed by Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh in France on the occasion of handing over ceremony of first Rafale fighter jet to the Indian Air Force (IAF). Senior Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge said that the government was just 'showing off' and that there was no need of such "drama". "There is no need to do such 'tamasha' (drama). When we bought weapons-like the Bofors gun previously purchased, no one went and brought them while showing off," he told news agency ANI. "Our Air Force officers judge whether they are good or not. These people go, show off, sit inside (the aircraft)," he added. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president and Home Minister Amit Shah was quick to hit back. Addressing an election rally in Haryana's Kaithal, Shah said, "Defence Minister Rajnath Singh performed 'Shastra Pujan' of Rafale yesterday in France. Congress did not like it. Is 'Shashtra Pujan' not performed on Vijayadashami? They should ponder over what needs to be criticised and what not."

On Tuesday, the day country celebrated the festival of Vijayadashmi, Rajnath Singh was in French town of Bordeaux to take the delivery of the first Rafale fighter jet. Singh formally received the first jet from a series of 36 such aircraft India has purchased from France. After the ceremony, he performed a brief 'Shastra Puja' on the new aircraft as he emblazoned it with an 'Om' tilak and laid flowers and coconut before he took off in it for a sortie. The 36 Rafale jets in flyaway condition will be delivered to India before 2022. The first four Rafale jets will arrive in India by May 2020.

I also voted A&O. IMO, their genres and primary media are too distinct from one another for clean comparison. But I was curious how comics fans would see it.

Do people mix apples and oranges together, like in a fruit salad? I rarely ever do and when I do, I realize it was a mistake. Apples and oranges seem to want to stick to their own provinces. Apples with raisins, yes. Oranges with grapefruits, fine. But apples and oranges never should mix.

They are both epic. Moore excluded Holmes from The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen because he was concerned Holmes would overwhelm the rest of the cast. Batman sometimes is written to do the same.
So, between them, who is more iconic?
Depends on who you ask, in what country and at what point in history. I would say almost everyone in the English speaking world knows who they both are. I'd say about equal.
I'd say Holmes is the far more iconic detective because he's always (except for parodies) presented as the Great Detective.
Power with Girl is better.

I remember an article where Harlan Ellison said that but I don't know if he was referencing someone else. At the time he said it, Batman would definitely not have been in the top three. I think he might now replace Tarzan who, let's face it, has faded in popularity.
It's also telling that the alleged three most famous are all within roughly the last century to century and a half. Really? What about Heracles/ Hercules? What about Merlon? Arthur?
I would say the Superman/ Tarzan/ Holmes trinity is more about who was the most famous at the exact time and place someone made that claim which was probably mid-twentieth century America.

Tarzan is an iconic figure, but he is problematic, given that his image is so bound up in white supremacy, and colonization of Africa. In many ways (IMO) he has been supplanted by Superman, who is something of an inversion of the Caucasian Prince Excelling, without violating the race boundary by giving the prince a non-terrestrial-insider origin. S&S may have had some sense of what they were unleashing, but couldn't have known all of what it could mean.
I think you could add Bram Stoker's Dracula to the list. Some might argue that Stoker based his character on legends and there's some historical basis to his work, but I think those odd details just give the work a verisimilitude so we're more likely to believe it actually happened. Just like Edgar Rice Burroughs' "I had this story from one who had no business to tell it to me, or to any other." (one of the greatest opening sentences to any novel ever).
Dracula is world famous and continues to have new adaptations. Are there any that were not created in the English language? Maybe our anglo prejudice just makes us think these characters are the most important in fiction.
I don't think so… Superman is the "strong man" while Tarzan remains the "wild man".
Tarzan is not the man of the colonization but the man of the "non-civilisation": he questions the civilisation.

Currently it seems that Batman is leaving more of an impact and is more noticeable by the public, even though Sherlock Holmes is a possible inspiration for his investigative and deductive skills, the picture of Batman pops out more.
So I will say that Batman is the more iconic character this decade.

Both are very popular and known but Batman only wins by a bit now because of the Chris Nolan movies but SH's has actually been iconic enough to make its way into popular TV outside the titled series like Star Trek and other tv shows. So I went with "apples and oranges." Ultimately because they appeal to two very different audiences. Not saying there can't be fans of both, though.
Darkspellmaster
Sherlock. Not only is Batman based more or less on what was then a more famous Pulp hero (and he would be still popular if he got better media presence) the Shadow, but most of Bruce's detective skills borrow heavily from Sherlock.
Also let's be honest here, Sherlock not only has more adaptations, but his author had his own brother in law create a anti Holmes in the form of a thief that solves crimes via stealing items and is a "What if Sherlock was a thief instead of a detective" which he later had to stop because Doyle was threatening to sue as he saw it as an insult to Sherlock, and then there was the whole case of Lupin besting him in a french tale. Every author of the period wanted a chance to pit or pair their character with him . I'd say that's pretty freaking Iconic.

Q: Add callback function to BottomNavigationBarItem Flutter I currently have an application that contains a bottom tab navigation of which I want for the user to be able to navigate whatever page was tapped. I'm currently working with the search page where the user is able to go in and click on the search field of which it the takes them to a drawer where they are able to enter their search input via the showSearch() method which gets passed into the onTap callback on my TextField Widget.
In addition to having the option of clicking on the text field itself, I also want this showSearch() drawer to appear as a default when the user clicks on the search icon that is located on the Bottom Tab Navigation. The problem is that the BottomNavigationBarItem Widget doesn't accept any callback functions as an argument.
Moving forward, I plan to reconfigure my BottomNavigationBar to accept IconButton Widgets which do accept callback functions.
My question is, how do I make it so that I'm able to pass a showSearch() method into the actual Search Icon located in my Bottom Tab Navigation so that it does the same as my search bar?
Bottom Tab Navigation Widget
 class BottomTabNavigation extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _BottomTabNavigationState createState() => _BottomTabNavigationState();

                    decoration: InputDecoration(
                      labelText: 'Search',
                      hintText: 'Search Practitioners',

                      border: OutlineInputBorder(
                        borderRadius: BorderRadius.all(
                          Radius.circular(25.0),
                        ),

            ],
          ),
        ),
      ],
    ),
  },
},

A: I guess you can do it in your _onTapHandler method like.
void _onTapHandler(int index) {
  // assuming index 1 is your search tab
  if(index == 1) {
    showSearch(
      context: context,
      delegate: SearchFieldDelegation(),
    );
  } else {
    setState(() {
      _selectedIndex = index;
    });
  }
}


Stourbridge, Worcestershire, is an industrial town on the south bank of the Stour, situated on the edge of the Black Country. This makes for a striking contrast between the conglomerate of industries on one side of the town with pleasant Midland scenery on the other. The town does not have a great deal to interest the tourist. Its early importance was due to its glass-making industry, introduced by refugees fleeing from l6th-century religious persecution in Hungary. Its modern rebuilt Edward VI Grammar School stands on the site of a stipendiary priests' school established in 1430. In the High Street is an old l7th-century inn, the Talbot, with some 18th-century additions. From Old Swinford, the oldest part of the town, a belt of fireclay runs generally northeastwards. It is reputed to be the best fireclay in the world. The countryside around Stourbridge has much to recommend it. One mile south south west of the town, Kinver Edge is easily reached by a winding uphill lane from Whittingion. There are splendid views from the top and the site of a Danish camp. The Norman village church has a good late 16th-century tomb and brasses. About l½ miles south through Old Swinford is the little village of Pedmore, sheltered under Wychbury Hilt, crowned with its prehistoric camp. The Norman Church of St Peter has a primitive tympanum with Christ in Glory, wearing a drooping moustache and with an overemphasized hand raised in blessing. He is surrounded by symbols of the Evangelists. The church was much restored in the late 19th century Nearby Pedmore Hall is l7th-century with later additions that included huge pilasters.
Two miles west north west of Stourbridge on the Bridgnorth road is Stourton Castle, where in 1500 Reginald, Cardinal Pole and Archbishop of Canterbury was born. Further along the same road is Enville with its Tudor Hall which was much altered in 1760 by the poet Shenstone. It has a fine park with the splendid Shenstone Cascade. a water ornament in best Classical Italian style.
Find availability in a Stourbridge bed and breakfast, also known as B&B or b and b, guesthouse, small hotel, self-catering or other accommodation.

Who bassist dies at 57
John Entwistle likely suffered heart attack in Vegas hotel
By By Ken Ritter - Associated Press Writer
Las Vegas — John Entwistle, the quiet, efficient bass player who co-founded The Who and helped it become one of the most dynamic and successful rock bands in history, was found dead of an apparent heart attack Thursday in his Las Vegas hotel room. He was 57.
Entwistle was on medication for a heart condition, according to band member Steve Luongo.

The Who bassist John Entwistle performs at a Aug. 25, 2000, concert in Albuquerque, N.M. Entwistle, 57, was found dead Thursday in his Las Vegas hotel room, according to MCA Records and Clark County Coroner's Office.
An autopsy was scheduled for today, but Clark County officials said there was nothing suspicious about the death, which came nearly a quarter-century after the band's original drummer, Keith Moon, died of an overdose at age 31.
The Who was to play today at the Hard Rock Hotel-Casino, the first date of a three-month, nationwide tour. That show and another scheduled for July 1 in Los Angeles were canceled. The rest of the tour was undecided, said Beckye Levin of Clear Channel Entertainment.
The group, founded in London in the early 1960s, was part of the British rock invasion along with the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and others. They were the voice of a new breed, with a parade of guitar-driven hits that included "My Generation," "I Can See For Miles," "I Can't Explain," "Substitute," "Pinball Wizard," "Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Who Are You."
Their concerts were literally explosive � a fusion of audacious acrobatics, martial precision and high octane rock 'n' roll that blew away audiences and left the stage and their instruments a smoldering wreck. The group was one of the premier rock bands in the world throughout the 1970s and sold millions of albums.
"A lot of our fans liked us because we made mistakes. It made us look more human. And then the fact that we could actually sort of burst out laughing on stage when we made a real bad blunder," Entwistle told The Associated Press in a 1995 radio interview.
Entwistle allowed his fingers to literally race over his instrument, but he stood silently on stage � a stark contrast to the antics of guitarist Pete Townshend and lead singer Roger Daltrey.
Ray Manzarek, keyboardist for the Doors, called Entwistle "one of the great, great rock 'n' roll bassists of all time. A real genius."
"He just was the most humble rock star I have ever met, besides having the best hands of any bass player in the history of rock and roll," added rocker Sammy Hagar.
Entwistle's song writing contributions to the band were minimal compared with the prolific Townshend. The bass player penned "Boris the Spider" and "My Wife," among others � none of them big hits. Yet he was the only member of the band with formal musical training.
He was among the first in rock to experiment with the six- and eight-string bass and he also played the French horn.
"As a musician, he did for the bass guitar what Jimi Hendrix did for the guitar," said Luongo, 49, who played drums in The John Entwistle Band for the last 15 years.
Entwistle was born Oct. 9, 1944, in London. He met Townshend and Daltrey in his high school years and by 1964 the band was born.
The Who was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1990.

Library rides nostalgia wave with launch of Retro Gaming Club
Ian Stepp remembers visiting his aunt's house as a kid, where he'd play classic games like Duck Hunt and iterations of the Mario Brothers saga on the family's trusty old Nintendo Entertainment System. Now pushing 30, Stepp is still a fan of the now-classic video games that in recent years have spawned a thriving culture and industry capitalizing on the nostalgia of grownups who coveted Nintendo game systems as kids in the 1980s and 90s.

Founded in 1871, Alpena began as an early commercial fishing port and soon grew to be one of the nation's most profitable lumber harvesting locations. Lumber camps dotted the region and logs were floated down the Thunder Bay River to the harbor where they were sawn and/or loaded on ships to help build the rest of the nation. The first commercial harvest of timber began during the winter of 1858-59. At it's peak, Alpena shipped out billions of board feet of lumber. Alpena was a thriving port ushering between 1,500 and 2,000 ships in and out of Thunder Bay annually.
Alpena has been way ahead of other communities with the acquirement of modern conveniences. Historic Alpena installed its first telephone just 3 years after Alexander Graham Bell received his patent; and electricity arrived just two years after Thomas Edison developed the light bulb. By the late 1890s the lumbering wealth began to wane. The residents of this oasis of the north refused to let Alpena fade off into the distance as did so many other lumbering towns. This earned Alpena the nickname, "The Boom Town that Forgot to Bust." With a tenacious spirit and hardy ambition, Alpena has always had a knack for reinventing herself to sustain the livelihood of residents and visitors alike.
From lumbering, Alpena moved into other ventures such as manufacturing and mining. Alpena is home to one of the world's largest shale quarries, Lafarge North America – Alpena Plant. Shale and limestone are extracted from the earth and mixed with other ingredients to make raw cement which is shipped out from Alpena via freighters on the Great Lakes. Alpena is also home to the world headquarters of Besser Manufacturing Co. In the early 1900s, Alpena residents Herman Besser and his son Jesse revolutionized the concrete building industry with the invention of advanced concrete block making machinery. Today Besser company continues to supply the world with modern versions of this machinery. Additionally, you will find the United State's only freshwater marine sanctuary here in Alpena. Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary protects hundreds of shipwrecks resting on Lake Huron's floor. Divers, snorkelers, kayakers, history buffs, and everyone in between venture to Alpena to learn the story these wrecks share. A state-of-the-art regional medical center, community college, strong business climate, and community oriented infrastructure make Alpena an ideal location for business, vacation, and residency.

If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet."
I don't know if Patrick Rothfuss has walked so far. But I have, and he was right. Making those walks alone shaped me more than anything else. But enough moralizing. Let's focus on how to travel alone.
Your greatest benefit going alone is flexibility. Don't waste it. Adventures can actually come along, so let them. Don't commit too hard to one place. Most places are overrated.
Hotels are extortionate. Airbnb is frequently a third the cost or cheaper.
I usually didn't bother booking reservations until just one day in advance or sometimes even a few hours. This let me keep a very flexible schedule. I visited Beijing, stayed about 8 hours, and flew out to Chengdu after deciding that Beijing was not fun. I meant to stay in Chengdu for 3 days. I ended up there for 2 weeks.
I would like to think this tip is obvious, but too many people waste their time in restaurants that are meant to imitate the ones you have back home. If you going to do that, why bother spending hundreds of dollars on a plane ticket to go somewhere else?
Luggage is a hassle that destroys flexibility. You don't really need anything besides clothes and maybe a Kindle.
It's a great way to see the stores.
If you're open to new experiences, you'll find these happen surprisingly often. I met a Dutch minister that way.
They're not any better than in the pictures.
A schedule is work. You're traveling, not working.
It's your trip. Do whatever makes you happy.

POSTED BY: Bill Plympton
If you have been reading my scribble blog you all know that 'The Cow Who Wanted to be a Hamburger' was not nominated for an Oscar this year. Boo hoo hoo!
It was strange because a lot of people who belong to the Academy thought it was my best and had a very good chance. So when my name did not pop up as being selected I wondered why. My attention was focused on the New York Academy screening. When 'The Cow' print was shown I had to exit the cinema (stupid rule) and my friends yelled at me to return to the theater to witness a scratched and grumbled sound print. I freaked, naturally, but what could I do. The print obviously was a bad worn out print. But I was confident that most of the NY animation Academy members had previously seen the film and knew of its power and wit. But there were also many live action short members there and perhaps they'd never seen it before and felt it was a badly made film. However I feel comfortable because the reaction in LA and San Francisco was so strong. How could I lose?
Beware of hubris. So I lost the nomination and hence an opportunity to use The Oscar nomination to promote 'Idiots and Angels" and my new epic Rizzoli book 'Independently Animated: Bill Plympton'. In any case I missed a golden opportunity and I've just received that 'damaged print' and out of curiosity I looked at the scratched frames and they were pristine. It looked like a brand new print, so I began to think - What the hell happened in there?
My guess is that the projectionist was so used to using Dolby heads for the films that he couldn't imagine that mine was simple stereo and somehow Dolby totally screwed up the projection. I know it sounds like a small mistake but I should have demanded to talk to the projectionist then and there and examined the projection procedure. I could have saved the screening and possibly secured my third nomination.

I also recently experienced a downturn in my life and art, but as I rediscovered my work and family and cause and spirit, I understood why it had to happen. I'm a huge fan of your work, love, love love, it, (I met you once and fumbled over my words like an idiot) but I say that as a fellow animator. I see your work and think, he hasn't made the ONE yet, the one whose image and story and wit combine into the colossal classic you have in you. Stay strong, but be kind to the weakness.

Kathy Griffin Will Indeed Fill Joan Rivers' Snarky Shoes On 'Fashion Police'
Ashley BurnsTwitterSenior Writer
Kathy Griffin certainly seemed like the perfect choice to take over hosting duties on E!'s Fashion Police after the passing of comedy legend Joan Rivers. She's sassy and cruel, and Griffin certainly never has a problem with making fun of celebrities, no matter how much it pisses people off. But even Griffin knew that talk of replacing Rivers on the show that she made a staple of every awards show's coverage was inappropriate, because there's simply no replacing the woman who was the best at what she did. So it seemed that, at least for a little while, the show would not go on because it was impossible to follow in Rivers' footsteps.
That mourning period has ended, though, because E! has officially announced that Griffin is taking over as the host of Fashion Police, and she's being joined by stylist Brad Goreski on the panel that will still include Kelly Osbourne and Giuliana Rancic. Most importantly, Griffin has the support of the show's executive producer, Melissa Rivers.
"Kathy just feels right, and Brad brings a fun, new voice to join Giuliana and Kelly in this ensemble," said Melissa Rivers, Executive Producer. "I'm excited to see where this panel takes this series my mother so adored in this next incarnation."
And Kathy, per usual, tells it like it is about her new gig: "I get it! These are some big shoes I'm going to fill. Joan was truly one of a kind. Now I hope you will accept me for me. I'm just Kathy. Did I say I'm just Kathy? I meant I'm Kathy F***ing Griffin and you celebrities better strap yourself in, as I am taking no prisoners. I am not holding back so DAMMIT let's have some fun!" (Via E! Online)
The series returns for Golden Globes coverage on January 12, so we can go ahead and start placing bets on the over/under for Bill Cosby jokes that night. I'm predicting 6, as well as at least 37 Real Housewives cracks that I won't get.

New York City's Only Piano Man, Billy Joel, Performs at Madison Square Garden, April 14th, 2017
April 17, 2017 DenysComments Off on New York City's Only Piano Man, Billy Joel, Performs at Madison Square Garden, April 14th, 2017
Live Gig Report and Photos: Robert Cavuoto
@RobertCavuoto
On Good Friday evening at Madison Square Garden in NYC, the legendary Billy Joel put on his 86th show ever in MSG and his 44th as the venue's house band. Tonight he showed his loyal followers that old rockers never die they just get better with age.
Sitting in front of a grand piano on a rotating platform, Billy's 26-song, two hours and 30-minute set were filled with highlights of his career from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. With so many careers spanning hits, even the casual fans in attendance knew almost every tune from MTV as they were the soundtrack to their youth. The show was also part storytelling as Billy shared insights into the songs with a comedic and often sarcastic flair. Though MSG was sold out, the show Billy performed as if he was in an inmate club with his closest of friends.
His early songs like "Entertainer" and "Miami 2017 (Seen the Lights Go Out on Broadway)" were played with a vibrant sense of energy and purpose, like he was back in the smoky nightclubs seeking the audience's approval on never before heard songs.
Often, Billy, has special guests perform with him at his concerts; tonight actor Kevin Spacey came on stage to sing a powerful duet with him on "New York State of Mind." Who knew Kevin could sing so well! At the end of the song in true comedic spirit, Kevin asked Billy for a "selfie" on the stage of MSG!
Billy also paid a fitting tribute to the late guitarist, J. Geils (who passed away this week) by performing one of their hits "Angel in a Centerfold" between "River of Dreams." The band also tore into a great rendition of Led Zeppelin's "Rock n' Roll" between "You May Be Right" later in the set.
Fans were on their feet singing and dancing thought-out the show but the song that blew the roof off
The Garden and brought everyone to their feet came late in the set with "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant." The best songs were saved for encore with "We Didn't Start the Fire," Uptown Girl," "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me," "Big Shot," "Only the Good Die Young," and closer "You May Be Right" which brought fans to the pinnacle of the evening. During those encores, Billy stepped away from the piano to played guitar on "We Didn't Start the Fire." On "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" walked the stage giving high fives to fans while performing twirling tricks with his microphone stand.
Billy's music has a very strong connection with his fans as his songs are forever relevant in their hearts. Fans left MSG happy, signing, and sharing stories of their favorite song performance. If you're a fan of Billy Joel it would be worth your while to see him perform at the most famous areas in the United States as he has a lifetime residency there.

A332/B738, vicinity Amsterdam Netherlands, 2012
On 13 November 2012, a Garuda Airbus A330 and a KLM Boeing 737 lost separation against each other whilst correctly following radar vectors to parallel approaches at Amsterdam but there was no actual risk of collision as each aircraft had the other in sight and no TCAS RA occurred. The Investigation found that one of the controllers involved had used permitted discretion to override normal procedures during a short period of quiet traffic but had failed to restore normal procedures when it became necessary to do so, thus creating the conflict and the ANSP was recommended to review their procedures.

Investigation Type
On 13 November an Airbus A330-200 being operated by Garuda on a scheduled passenger flight from Dubai to Amsterdam and a Boeing 737-800 being operated by KLM on a scheduled passenger flight from Manchester to Amsterdam were being radar vectored to Instrument Landing System (ILS) approaches to runways 18C and 18R respectively in day Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC) when the prescribed traffic separation was lost. ATC gave corrective headings and the two aircraft then continued their ILS approaches as planned. There were no abrupt manoeuvres and no TCAS RAs during deconfliction.
An Investigation was carried out by the Dutch TSB using radar and R/T recordings. It was noted that the former had a refresh interval or time lag of 5 seconds.
It was established that both aircraft had been under radar control service to join the localiser of their landing runway - 18R for the Boeing 737 and 18C for the Airbus 330. This service was, as required by ATC procedures, being provided by controllers with individual responsibility for each approach. Recorded data showed that all instructions to both aircraft had been followed correctly but that the normal procedures for the dependent parallel approaches flown on these runways when traffic demand was high enough had been suspended by the controller responsible for runway 18C during a gap in traffic joining from the west for runway 18R. Such a suspension of the normal procedures was found to be permitted but this discretion was not accompanied with any guidance on ensuring that such a suspension ceased once the gap in other runway arrivals ceased.
It was noted that the required separation during positioning to and when on the dependent parallel ILS approaches to runways 18R and 18C, which have exactly the same alignment and only 2060 metres between their centrelines, was effectively a minimum of 1000 feet vertically, since the airspace alternative to this was 3nm horizontally and not achievable if two aircraft were to be vectored on to the two approaches at the same time. When using these two runways, this standard separation was normally achieved by bringing aircraft in from the west to runway 18R at 2000 feet on a base leg at least 11nm north of the runway threshold and aircraft from the east to runway 18C at 3000 feet on a base leg at least 13nm north of the runway threshold which with the displacement of the 18C landing threshold by 1.8nm to the south of that for runway 18R effectively provides separation of 1000 feet vertically as opposing aircraft close with respective ILS FATs.
In the investigated incident, the controller who had suspended the normal procedure of vectoring from the east to the 18C ILS due to a gap in traffic from the west was descending his traffic to 2000 feet instead of 3000 feet - although the Investigation noted that since the base leg track was unchanged, this deviation was not delivering any operational benefit. The Airbus 330 was the fourth aircraft he had done this with but by this time, a Boeing 737 was being vectored from the west for the runway 18R ILS and the two aircraft were closing on opposite headings at the same cleared altitude. The two controllers noticed the developing conflict with the aircraft 5.7nm apart and at similar speeds and the Boeing, having just been given a right turn to an intercept heading of 160° was, four seconds later, given a left turn onto 360°. Then, a few seconds later, with the Airbus having been turned on to a heading of 210°, the Boeing was instructed to turn right again onto a heading of 160° when the controller realised that the effect of the instructed left turn was going to produce less separation than the right turn to close the ILS. Within just under 20 seconds, each of the aircraft had reported visual acquisition of the other. As both aircraft continued their headings, the Airbus without the usual instruction to establish on the ILS Localiser from the heading given because the controller had forgotten to give that instruction, both received two successive TCAS TAs. The minimum separation of 0.6nm at the same altitude was reached just as the Boeing began to turn left to establish on the 18R localiser and soon afterwards, the Airbus was given a heading to close the 18C localiser from the right having gone slightly through it. The remainder of both approaches was uneventful.

The Investigation concluded that the cause of the conflict was the failure of the controller vectoring to runway 18C to resume the normal operational procedure of vectoring traffic to the 18C localiser at 3000 feet when the gap in traffic from the west finished. Although it was clear that "no immediate chance of a collision was present" it was considered that the loss of prescribed minimum separation represented "a possible breach of flight safety". It was noted that whilst it was necessary for controllers to be afforded a degree of operational flexibility in handling traffic, such discretion should be "conducted…within written boundaries". Accordingly, the Investigation recommended that LVNL (the ANSP) should "give extra attention to the circumstances under which ATC controllers are allowed to deviate from procedures in their safety program". It was also observed that "controllers must be aware that they cannot operate individually, but are dependent on each other, especially when deviating from procedures" and appreciate that "strict co-ordination and communication are needed to maintain separation during parallel approaches".
The Final Report of the Investigation was released in May 2013. No formal Safety Recommendations were issued.
Editor's Note: It is unclear whether the recommendation made as a consequence of this Investigation and quoted above verbatim from the Final Report has the status of a formal Safety Recommendation.

{Book Attraction} Never Caught: Ona Judge, the Washingtons, and the Relentless Pursuit of their Runaway Slave by:Erica Armstrong Dunbar
Editor September 7, 2016 Book Attraction
A startling and eye-opening look into America's First Family, Never Caught is the powerful narrative of Ona Judge, George and Martha Washington's runaway slave who risked it all to escape the nation's capital and reach freedom.
When George Washington was elected president, he reluctantly left behind his beloved Mount Vernon to serve in Philadelphia, the temporary seat of the nation's capital, after a brief stay in New York. In setting up his household he took Tobias Lear, his celebrated secretary, and nine slaves, including Ona Judge, about which little has been written. As he grew accustomed to Northern ways, there was one change he couldn't get his arms around: Pennsylvania law required enslaved people be set free after six months of residency in the state. Rather than comply, Washington decided to circumvent the law. Every six months he sent the slaves back down south just as the clock was about to expire.
Though Ona Judge lived a life of relative comfort, the few pleasantries she was afforded were nothing compared to freedom, a glimpse of which she encountered first-hand in Philadelphia. So, when the opportunity presented itself one clear and pleasant spring day in Philadelphia, Judge left everything she knew to escape to New England. Yet freedom would not come without its costs.
At just twenty-two-years-old, Ona became the subject of an intense manhunt led by George Washington, who used his political and personal contacts to recapture his property.
Impeccably researched, historian Erica Armstrong Dunbar weaves a powerful tale and offers fascinating new scholarship on how one young woman risked it all to gain freedom from the famous founding father.
