"Allies" by Heart
Pop Bits: Heart's first single from their album Passionworks, "How Can I Refuse?," just missed the Top 40 getting to #44. Although it did reach #1 at Rock, the miss at Pop wasn't a great start and they hoped to turn things around with this second single. Unfortunately, it did far worse spending a short month hanging around the bottom of the chart. In doing so, it made the album their first to not generate at least one Top 40 Pop single. To make matters worse, the song couldn't even get on the Rock chart. The poor performing singles hampered albums sales and the best it could do was a #39 showing - their worst charting album to-date. It would also serve as their final album for Epic. The band was struggling with the label over lack of promotion and other issues. After Passionworks, it was time for Heart to move on to something new.
ReduxReview: This is one of those odd songs where the verse sections are better than the chorus. Not that the chorus is bad, but the arrangement and melody within the verses are so good that when the chorus comes in, it's a bit of a let down. There is a nice build up to the chorus, but once it hits there's not much of a payoff. I wanted something like build-build-build>big!-big!-big!-triumphant!, but instead it's like build-build-build>bigish-low-low-low-eh. Even the bridge hints at building to something great and then it fizzles. Again, not bad, I just wanted more. All-in-all, it's still a quality track from Heart.
Trivia: This song was written by Journey member Jonathan Cain. He wrote the tune for possible inclusion on Journey's LP Frontiers and recorded a demo. Apparently, Cain wanted to sing the song himself instead of front-man Steve Perry, but that wasn't flying with Perry. So Cain came up with a duet version for him and Perry, but it just didn't work. The song ended up getting set aside and ignored until Heart came along and gave it their attention.

Named after the great Italian sinologist, Matteo Ricci, the Ricci Institute was founded in 1966 by FFr Yves Raguin (1912-1998), Jean Lefeuvre and other Jesuits as a work of the Chinese Province of the Society of Jesus. The purpose of the Institute was originally to continue the Jesuit lexicographic endeavor while developing research in comparative spiritualities and Chinese religions. The TRI is the co-author of the Grand Ricci. Since the beginning of the 90s. the Institute has refocused its work on (a) Taiwanese studies, especially aboriginal languages and religious/ cultural transformations; (b) dialogue with Chinese intellectuals on cultural diversity, sustainable development and spiritual empowerment; (c) and, presently, coordination of various research programs on Pacific and Austronesian studies.
The Institute has developed a rich library now being transfered to Taiwan Central Library.
In January 2004, the Institute founded "Renlai Monthly", in order to foster debate in the Chinese world on issues linked to cultural diversity, sustainable development and spiritual empowerment. The companion "eRenlai.com" website also contributes to nurture communication among social agents, intellectuals and grassroots communities.

An incredible animation by a planetary scientist shows how fast each planet spins by putting them in one giant globe
Morgan McFall-Johnsen
James O'Donoghue
A video by planetary scientist James O'Donoghue shows a slice of every planet in the solar system spinning on one giant globe.
The animation provides a comparison of how quickly (or slowly) each planet rotates.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot zips around 2.4 times faster than Earth, while Venus spins so slowly you can't tell it's moving backwards.
Every planet turns to its own beat, and a new animation from a video-savvy scientist shows just how different those rotations are.
James O'Donoghue, a planetary scientist at the Japanese space agency (JAXA) and formerly at NASA, spends his free time making animations of space concepts like the history of the moon and the vastness of our solar system.
He recently created a video showing slices of each planet spinning at its own speed — all in one giant globe.
"I had the idea to make this back in December last year but I didn't think people would be interested in it," O'Donoghue said on Twitter when he shared a clip of the animation. As of Friday, that version of the video had over 215,000 views.
The animation, below, shows how quickly the planets spin on their axes relative to one another. Jupiter, for example, rotates 2.4 times faster than Earth.
As one commenter pointed out on Twitter, it can be weird to watch Africa and South America making their rounds near the North Pole of this stitched-together globe. Earth's position falls there, however, because O'Donoghue lined up the planets in their order from the sun, from Mercury to Neptune.
"I picked the slices of latitude of each planet that were most interesting," he explained.
O'Donoghue picked the piece of Jupiter that has its Great Red Spot, the part of Neptune where its darkest storm brews, and a slice of Saturn that shows high contrast between its clouds.
You might also notice that the strip second from the bottom spins in the opposite direction of the others. That's Uranus, which is tilted nearly 90 degrees, meaning that it appears to spin on its side and backwards (relative to the other planets).
Venus also spins counterclockwise — it's the second strip from the top of O'Donoghue's globe. But the planet rotates so slowly that you can barely tell it's moving backwards. It takes 243 Earth days for Venus to rotate once.
In the last year, O'Donoghue has created a slew of scientific animations like this. His first were for a NASA news release about Saturn's vanishing rings. After that, he moved on to other difficult-to-grasp concepts, like the torturously slow speed of light.
"My animations were made to show as instantly as possible the whole context of what I'm trying to convey," O'Donoghue previously told Business Insider. "When I revised for my exams, I used to draw complex concepts out by hand just to truly understand, so that's what I'm doing here."

DON'T MISS: An incredible video shows what we would see if the planets replaced the moon. But that would turn Earth into a volcanic hellscape.

For the manufacture of polymer products with excellent strength characteristics, which demonstrate a long service life and have high performance characteristics, polyamide casting is used. Technology using this synthetic material is common for several reasons. The finished parts have a low susceptibility to thermal distortion, almost zero moisture absorption coefficient, decent anti-friction properties. They are used in the construction industry, in everyday life, as well as in the field of instrument making.
The technology involves the use of thermoplastic polyamide granules as raw materials. She worked to perfection. Die casting provides high performance and processability. The method makes it possible to fully automate the main steps, to minimize scrap and defects in batches of finished products.
First of all, preliminary work is carried out, during which the list of requirements for finished products is agreed with the customer. It is possible to custom-order non-standard blanks, for casting which a special mold is designed and manufactured.
Polyamide granules, which are stored in the company's warehouse, are dried before melting. Then they are fed into the receiving hopper of the injection molding machine used in the workshop for heating.
The viscous mass is fed into the selected mold under high pressure, applying a piston effect. The cavity is quickly and uniformly filled with a polymer composition, and then the material quickly cools and hardens.
Upon completion of the work on the production line, the connector of the form and delivery of products is carried out. They are checked, if necessary, refined, and then packaged and delivered to Kiev and other settlements of Ukraine.
Performing the manufacture of polymer products under the order, the company "Trade Information Service" provides customers with attractive terms of cooperation. Polyamide casting is carried out according to advanced methods, therefore compliance of products with strict standards is difficult to question.
The harmonious work of the company has been achieved through careful and timely quality control carried out by technologists. It is also important to have our own production base, which allows to produce solid volumes of products in a short timeframe.
Cooperation with customers involves comprehensive information support at all stages. Customers are provided with detailed professional advice, answer questions, assist in finding optimal solutions. At the same time, the cost of services of the manufacturing company is at a competitive level.

GORE® Molding & Occlusion Balloon for Endovascular Aortic Repair Receives Approval in the United States, Japan, and Europe
New balloon addresses EVAR stent graft seal and temporary vessel occlusion challenges
GORE® Molding & Occlusion Balloon (Photo: Business Wire)
FLAGSTAFF, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. (Gore) announced FDA 510(k) clearance, approval from the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare, and receipt of CE Mark for the innovative GORE® Molding & Occlusion Balloon, a compliant polyurethane balloon catheter designed in close collaboration with clinicians to assist in the expansion of self-expanding stent grafts or to temporarily occlude large-diameter vessels. The new device meets all endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) procedural requirements – a single balloon that replaces the need for multiple molding and occlusion balloons.
The device's proven radial expansion force across the range of EVAR device sizes enables physicians to consistently seat and seal grafts with confidence. This more efficient graft seal may reduce procedural time and the risk of Type 1 endoleaks. The device is also engineered with the lowest profile to reduce the potential of access-related complications, and its excellent pushability and trackability offers enhanced control with uncompromised inflation and deflation time.
"We have worked closely with clinicians to engineer a single balloon that truly changes both the physician and the patient experience," said Eric Zacharias, Gore Vascular Business Leader. "This milestone is one of several in our ongoing dedication to treating the entire aorta, and to helping physicians offer the best patient experience possible."
The new device is supplied in a single catheter length of 90 cm to enable use with current GORE® EXCLUDER® Devices as well as future Gore devices while still being compatible with a 180 cm length guidewire.
Besides adding value through consistently reliable technical success and patient experience, the use of a single balloon allows for efficiency and inventory optimization. "We know our physicians are concerned with both technical performance and with economic value to their practices," Zacharias said. "Use of a single molding and occlusion balloon during an EVAR case reduces intraoperative waste, minimizing overall instrument cost per procedure. The potential to reduce operating room and catheter lab time may contribute to faster room turnover and more on-time procedural starts."
The GORE Molding & Occlusion Balloon is part of the growing family of endovascular products that share a mission to effectively treat aortic disease, backed by Gore's highly rated clinical support teams and educational offerings. The comprehensive portfolio of aortic products includes the GORE® EXCLUDER® AAA Endoprosthesis; the Conformable GORE® TAG® Thoracic Endoprosthesis for the treatment of thoracic aneurysms, transections, and Type B dissections; and the GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis, the only FDA approved off-the-shelf device indicated for the endovascular treatment of common iliac artery aneurysms or aortoiliac aneurysms.

Christina Lee: So Guess What Today Is?
So Guess What Today Is?
It's the release day of MOCKINGJAY, book three in THE HUNGER GAMES series.
I pre-ordered mine from Amazon and want to read it right NOW!
Get here already will you?
Oh, and if I hear any spoilers about it on Twitter or FB, I'll pop a blood vessel!
Off to wait on my front stoop for delivery (why didn't I just order it on my Kindle, darn-it)!
This is too funny, I posted the same thing on my blog! I just have to wait until after work to read mine! I promise...no spoilers!
I am so excited. It was delivered to my kindle last night. you must email me the minute you finish so we can discuss!
I posted pretty much the same thing. lol.
I need to get to reading these for sure!
When our multitude of boxes were delivered to the store yesterday, I thought of you! It's going to be a week or two before I can read it, so I am also going to do my best to remain spoiler-free!
It feels like a holiday...Mockingjay day! I can't wait to talk about it at book club!
I'm saying the same thing! I preordered it on Amazon and now I have an iPad and it is taking FOREVER to get here!
No spoilers here as I haven't read these yet. Though I have heard good reports all around. Hope you get that new copy soon! When I read the last HP book we were trekking across the country. It took me nearly 3 weeks to read it since I could only get a chapeter or two in a day. I didn't watch or read anything that might give it away!
My local bookstore didn't know what this was and no copies were available yesterday, despite my trying to educate the discount store owner about this series back in June. Guess I'm going back to Amazon to place this order.
I'm reading chapter one from "The Hunger Games" online right now. It's that good, huh?
I finished Breaking Dawn today. I feel a little empty inside. I want more!

Outdoor Photography Class and Hike, Mummy Mountain Trail, Coyote Lake/Harvey Bear County Park, 4/23/11
On 4/23/11, County Parks docent and volunteer photographer Ron Horii taught an outdoor photography class at Coyote Lake/Harvey Bear County Park. The class began at the Mendoza Ranch Staging Area. Ron normally gives a class and slideshow presentation at Santa Teresa Park's Bernal Ranch. Ron showed pictures for the class and examples of outdoor pictures of Santa Teresa Park. See the links to Ron's Outdoor Photography webpages and classes to the left. (Picture by Chris Horii, all pictures by Chris are labeled "CH.")
Ron's son Chris took some of the pictures. In the background is the trailhead.
The class gathers to listen to Ron's photo talk. CH
Ron shows examples of different types of outdoor photos. In his talk, he discusses cameras, lighting, and composition. The mostly overcast day is not the best for landscapes, but is good for wildflowers and pictures of people. Ron mentions that the worst time for taking landscape pictures is mid-day, and the best is sunrise and sunset, but mid-day is the easiest time for amateurs, and it is when most events are scheduled. CH
Ron describes the park and gets the group ready for the hike. He talks about the trails and trail safety. The hazards on this trail are ticks, poison oak, rattlesnakes, and steep cliffs. Wild pigs and mountain lions have been seen on the trails, even in mid-day. CH
The group begins the hike on the Mendoza Trail. CH
There are wildflowers on the hills around the trail, which invites taking pictures. CH
Near the Coyote Ridge Trail junction (in the background), there is a bright patch of yellow butter-and-eggs.
Closeup of butter-and-eggs.
The class heads up the hill. The trail arching up the hill leads the eye into the scene, ending near one of the thirds of the frame (the "rule of thirds"). CH
On the hillside is a thick patch of purple vetch, which makes a colorful foreground for taking pictures of the hill and rocks.
As the trail ascends, more of the hills and ranches surrounding the park are revealed, providing more photo opportunities.
Near the Mummy Mountain Trail junction is the start of a new trail, the Rancho la Polka Trail, which will open on National Trail Day on June 4 this year. It runs around the hill in the background, with views of the south end of the park and Gilroy.
Equestrians pass by, providing more photo ops.
At the Mummy Mountain Trail junction is a holder for a new interpretive sign and benches to take in the views of the South County.
The class assembles at the start of the Mummy Mountain Trail. Ron talks about the points of interest. CH
This is the junction of the Mendoza Trail and the Mummy Mountain Trail. One of the return routes will be along the Mendoza Trail. CH
The class begins to head up the Mummy Mountain Trail. Mummy Mountain has the profile of a mummy. The trail begins along the "legs" of the mummy and ends at its "head." See the links to the left for more pictures of the Mummy Mountain Trail.
The trail soon crosses over a wooden bridge. CH
Crossing the bridge.
Looking down the bridge. The converging lines of the bridge give a feeling of depth. CH
The trail enters a shady forest, with wildflowers. Ron talked about taking pictures in the shade and low light, keeping the camera steady to prevent motion blur, and image stabilization. CH
Shooting forest wildflowers.
The trail passes by a huge sandstone cliff, pockmarked with tiny caves.
The cliff provides many interesting photo ops. CH
Looking up at the cliff, covered with lichens, moss, and dudleya.
The trail runs by moss-covered boulders.
The trail runs through a clearing, with hillsides covered in vetch. Ron points out the view. CH
The trail runs through more trees, with glimpses of a large meadow with a picnic table.
Miniature lupines in the meadow.
Bluedicks in the meadow.
After running around the meadow, the trail begins a gradual climb up to the summit of the ridge.
Looking back at the class ascending the hill.
An Indian paintbrush on the hill.
The trail passes through another shady forest.
Bright yellow sunflowers are on the hill above the trail.
The trail reaches the ridgetop, with views to the west. CH
View from the ridgetop looking towards Gilroy.
The class heads up along the ridgetop. CH
An oak tree provides a frame for a view of the class coming up the ridgetop.
Sunflowers and vetch on the ridgetop.
A fuchsia-flowered gooseberry bush.
Heading along the eastern side of the ridgetop, with views to the east. CH
The trail passes by a serpentine outcropping. As the soil changes from clay to serpentine, the vegetation changes from non-native grasses to native plants, adapted to serpentine.
There are lots of rocks on top.
Soon views of Coyote Lake open up.
There is a picnic bench, overlooking Coyote Lake. CH
View of Coyote Lake from the picnic table.
Below are views of the Coyote Lake campground. There is a steep drop-off here. Ron warns not to get too close to the edge. CH
There is another rest area with benches and an interpretive sign.
At the high point of the trail, the view opens up to the west, looking towards Gilroy.
There are gnarled oaks on the ridgetop.
The trail descends a hand-cut stone stairway, a scenic spot for taking pictures of people.
Looking back up the stairway.
More views open up. This is looking towards Gilroy.
This is a view looking north along the hills of the park, with Morgan Hill to the left and San Jose in the distance.
Heading down the hill along the "chest" of the mummy.
Descending this steep section of trail, in the distance is the marsh area of Coyote Lake.
This is the view looking back towards the upper end of the lake, where Coyote Creek flows in as it comes out of the narrow canyon flanked by Palassou Preserve and Henry Coe State Park.
A patch of sunflowers is above the trail.
The trail emerges through trees to the mummy's "neck." These trees form a natural frame for the view.
The trail crosses the mummy's "neck," with the small round hill forming its "head" in the background.
The trail passes along the east side of the mummy's "head," with views of Coyote Lake on the right.
This is a patch of a variety of flowers, including miniature lupine, tomcat clover, ithuriel's spears, and vetch.
More wildflowers cover the hillsides in thick patches. These are Chinese houses.
This hillside is covered with woodland peas and Chinese houses, with some mule's ear sunflowers on the upper right.
The trail switches back below. In the distance is the Coyote Ridge Trail running up the hill and the new Gaviota Trail branching off to the left. The short Campground Trail in the center leads down from the Coyote Ridge Trail to the campground.
This shady section of hillside is covered with ferns and miner's lettuce.
The new Gaviota Trail, which opened the previous week, runs level along the hillside in the distance. It eventually connects to the Rancho San Ysidro Trail. It opens up a large section of the park on the west side of the ridge. Below it is an abandoned ranch road.
The trail descends and switches back.
The hillside here is covered with Chinese houses and yellow goldfields.
Among the Chinese houses, there are also mule's ear sunflowers on the hill.
Ron is taking pictures of the flowers. CH
The group pauses at the end of the Mummy Mountain Trail at its junction with the Mendoza Trail. Ron points out trail alternatives. Most of the group takes the shorter Coyote Ridge Trail back. Ron, Chris, and 3 others take the longer, steeper, but more scenic Mendoza Trail back. CH
The Mendoza Trail runs below a hillside covered with wildflowers.
Looking up the hillside, covered with Chinese houses, vetch, and sunflowers.
Looking south across a line of fiddlenecks at the Gaviota Trail. There is a small farm pond below.
View south of the hills of the park from the Mendoza Trail.
The Mendoza Trail makes a long gradual climb, then descends to the Mummy Mountain Trail junction.
Back at the Mendoza Ranch staging area at the end of the day. Total mileage: about 4.5.

Josh Adler is a recent graduate of New York University with a B.S. in Applied Psychology and a minor in Sociology. He is from New York. For the past two years, Josh's research has focused on socioeconomic disparities and mental health outcomes. More recently, Josh has become a research assistant on Dr. Shabnam Javdani's Researching Inequity in Society Ecologically (RISE) research team due to his interest in the bidirectional relation between the effects of incarceration and mental health wellbeing through a sociocultural lens. Josh is passionate about working with individuals, while utiliIizing reseach to highlight individuals' struggles as implications for necessary macro-level, structural change.
I am a research assistant for the Global Mental Health Program. I earned a BA in Psyhcology from St John's University. During my undergraduate program, I interned at the National Mental Referral Hospital in Uganda where I am originally from. During that internship, my passion for mental health grew even more. I wanted to earn the skills that would enable me to contribute to bettering the mental health system back home. This led me to pursue an MA in Psychology which I earned from Chatham University. During this program, I engaged in research on the health disparities of Sub-Saharan African female immigrants. I later carried out an Independent study on the mental health system in Uganda.
My research interests lie in the development of culturally adapted treatment interventions, implementing cost effective evidence-based treatment interventions in low and middle-income countries where a majority of these individuals are unable to afford the mental health care that they need.
I intend to pursue a PhD in Clinical Psychology in the future.

After Fire Destroys Moria Refugee Camp in Greece, Demands Grow for Relocation, Not Another Camp
Democracy Now! gets an update on the massive fire at the Moria refugee camp in Lesbos, Greece, which has left 13,000 refugees and migrants from Afghanistan, African countries, and Syria without access to shelter, food or sanitation.
The fire has raised concerns about a coronavirus outbreak and comes as migrants protest their living conditions during the pandemic.
Some of the asylum seekers — many of them women and children — are demanding they be allowed to leave the island of Lesbos, but the Greek government is refusing to relocate most people displaced by the fire to the mainland.
"The calculation of the Greek government was, in my opinion, to really break people's spirit," says reporter Franziska Grillmeier, who joins us from Lesbos.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) -- The South Dakota Retirement System's assets have grown to a record high of more than $9 billion after earning 19.5 percent on investments in the past fiscal year, officials said Monday.
The system's assets peaked at about $8.2 billion in 2007 and then plummeted during the recession. Those assets had risen to more than $9 billion by June 30, up more than $1.5 billion for the fiscal year.
South Dakota Investment Council Chairman Hugh Bartels, of Watertown, said the Investment Office staff in recent years has posted some of its best investment returns in the Retirement System's 40-year history.
"The staff for the last four years have hit home runs every year. This year, they hit a grand slam walk-off home run," Bartels told a legislative committee.
Bartels told the Executive Board, which handles management issues for the Legislature, that final numbers are not yet complied, but the South Dakota Retirement System's investment return for the past year is expected to be tops in the nation among similar state pension plans.
Retirement System Director Rob Wylie said unofficial records indicate the system ended the past fiscal year about 103 percent funded. That means the South Dakota system's assets are about 103 percent of all future potential future benefits to be paid to retirees in state and local government agencies, he said.
The system's good financial health means pension payments should increase by 3.1 percent on July 1, 2014, the maximum allowed by state law. When the system is fully funded, pension payments increase by 3.1 percent the following year. Because it was only 93 percent funded in June a year ago, benefit payments this July rose by only 2.1 percent.
The legislative committee endorsed the Investment Council's proposed budget for next year, which includes a plan to give investment staff a chance to earn larger bonuses for good results that outperform industry averages. Investment staff now can earn bonuses of up to 100 percent of their base salaries. The change would allow them to earn performance bonuses of up to 200 percent of their base salaries.
The bonus system is based on an assumption that investment staff will earn on average only 40-50 percent of the maximum bonus available. The change in the bonus system is needed to retain staff by getting their total pay closer to what they would earn if they worked for a private investment company, Bartels said.
Based on last year's investment performance, the legislative committee also approved a $372,550 bonus for state Investment Officer Matt Clark to be added to his base salary for heading up the agency. The bonus amounts to about 96.4 percent of Clark's base salary of $386,647 in the last fiscal year.

Why Great Plains agriculture is particularly vulnerable to drought
by: Saul Elbein, The Hill via Nexstar Media Wire
The American West is experiencing its driest period in human history, a megadrought that threatens health, agriculture and entire ways of life. DRIED UP is examining the dire effects of the drought on the states most affected — as well as the solutions Americans are embracing.
The underground aquifer system that supplies water for a quarter of U.S. food production is in severe and possibly terminal decline.
By the end of the century, production of grain, meat and dairy across the Southern Plains, and especially in Texas, could collapse as rainfall patterns change and temperatures rise, putting ever more pressure on declining reserves of water from below.
But while the drought — and the climate change driving it to its current extremes — is exacerbating a long-running agricultural crisis from the Texas Panhandle to South Dakota, it did not cause the original problem.
Too much underground water from sources such as the Ogallala Aquifer is being used too fast. That water source, the High Plains Aquifer, feeds about a quarter of U.S. crop production, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
And as farmers, climatologists and agricultural economists told The Hill and our investigative partners at Amarillo, Texas, station KAMR, it's a dilemma that is simple in theory — and nearly unsolvable in practice.
Mining for water
Before the mid-20th century, the High Plains were largely used for cattle, which were spread sparsely over sprawling land where they ate what grass could grow off the area's occasional rains.
New forms of irrigation allowed farmers and hydraulic engineers to reach the fossil reserves of groundwater deep beneath the prairie, allowing the cultivation of vast rows of thirsty crops such as corn in a landscape that would not usually support them.
Ninety percent of the water drawn from the Ogallala goes to agriculture, pumped up to feed row crops such as corn and soybeans, or given to cattle to drink.
"It's inevitable that we are going to run out of water in this region. And we are seeing this more this year than we have with previous droughts," irrigation specialist Jourdan Bell of West Texas A&M's Agrilife told The Hill.
Given current rates of usage, the Ogallala as a whole may see a 70 percent decrease in water levels by 2080 — but parts of the High Plains may run out before midcentury, reports KAMR, which is owned by The Hill's parent company Nexstar Media Group.
Climate change is making things worse
The decline in the Ogallala was inevitable the moment it was tapped in the 1940s, Texas state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon told The Hill.
The timing of when the Ogallala begins to run out "is going to be affected by climate change, but it's not something that is going to be avoided no matter what," he said.
Aquifers depend on water seeping slowly down from the surface to charge, and if they are being drained for irrigation faster than that happens, they will eventually go dry.
"Recharges never kept up with demand and extraction in Texas," Nielsen-Gammon said. Groundwater reserves are "used like a natural resource that will eventually run out."
The challenge, he said, is "basically managing that transition" to a fully arid Great Plains.
But human-caused climate change is helping drive the decline in rainfalls, exacerbating the problem.
A study published in July in the Journal of the American Water Association found that the Ogalalla would decline 50 percent faster in a world where rain amounts fall by 25 percent and the number of days above 96 degrees doubles.
"The increased demand will directly lead to either accelerated depletion of the aquifer or loss of irrigated farmland," Nielsen-Gammon added.
Texas is in particular trouble
The long-term discrepancy between Great Plains rainfall and its need for water is a conundrum for the entire Ogallala region, particularly for the Texas Panhandle, which sits between 200 and 400 feet above the underground water supplies, separated from it by a thick and largely impermeable layer of clay, Bell of West Texas A&M said.
That's very different in the Northern Plains, where the aquifer may be just a few feet below the surface and a sandy soil mix allows rainwater to filter back in.
DRIED UP: Texas cattle industry faces existential crisis from historic drought
The regulatory regimes are different too. In South Dakota, farmers can only pump to the level at which the aquifer can recharge. In Kansas, a state program provides farmers with incentives and expertise to help them ratchet down the amount of water they're pumping from the aquifer.
In Texas, however, groundwater reserves provide a form of almost regulation-free water. Farmers with legal water rights there can draw as much water from underground as their wells can reach and their pumps can handle — regardless of impacts on their neighbors.
This creates a situation sometimes called the "law of the biggest pump," in which whoever can pump the most water gets the most water, KAMR reported in July.
But while decline looms, for now water is plentiful for those who can drill for it — and Texas's lax groundwater regulations have drawn thirsty industries such as dairy from states with more restrictive policies.
Over the last two decades, Bell said, enormous dairies have spread around Amarillo, ushering in a wave of other agro-industries to make products such as cheeses.
Farmers often point to the dairies' use of water to explain the region's shortfalls, Bell said. "These are very big dairies," she said, "I mean 50,000-plus head of cattle."
Shortages have already begun
Some small communities have already run out of potable water as their wells can no longer reach the depleting levels of groundwater, and are having it shipped in on trucks, Bell said.
Without groundwater for irrigation, some farmers will shift to hardier but less productive "dryland" systems dependent on rain.
Others will lean on raising cattle, David Anderson of Texas A&M's Agrilife said, but in many cases it's growing too dry for that.
Once the land can no longer support cattle, "there's really no alternative," Anderson said. "There won't be any other alternative crops or stock."

When people hear the word "folate," they usually think of women and pregnancy. Folate supplementation during pregnancy has been highly recommended for years. But folate is a very important vitamin for everyone, not just pregnant women. Folate is considered a brain food. It is needed for energy production. And it is needed for the formation of red blood cells and strengthens the immune system by aiding in the formation and functioning of white blood cells.
seems the link works the other way around, too: folate supplementation has been shown to help in treating depression.
The research team set out to prove the link in a clinical study. The team reviewed 11 past studies on the association between folate levels and depression. A total of 15,315 participants were reviewed, 1,769 of whom had depression. The researchers discovered that individuals with low folate levels had as much as a 55% increased risk for depression.
Apparently, this increased depression risk remained even when the researchers took in to account factors that could affect the results, such as the reduced appetite and excessive alcohol drinking that has been associated with depression.
Not surprisingly, the researchers also discovered that not only did study participants with low folate levels have an increased risk of depression, but the opposite was also true. Depressed individuals had lower folate levels than the non-depressed participants.
Be aware that you can develop a folate deficiency if you don't eat fresh fruits and vegetables. When you cook or microwave your vegetables, you destroy the folate content.
Besides causing you to feel depressed, or upping your risk for getting heart disease, folate deficiency can cause a number of other symptoms, including anemia, fatigue, graying hair, insomnia, labored breathing, memory problems, paranoia, and digestive difficulties.
So keep your folate levels up! The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for folate is 400 micrograms (mcg) a day. You can take up to 600 mcg safely. Folate is one of those rare vitamins that are actually better absorbed when taken in supplement form as opposed to food sources. One final note: folate works best when taken with vitamin C and B12.


If you know ShinChan only through the Adult Swim television series, you might be surprised how great this movie is. I know I was.
In this movie, Shinchan and his family have to go back in time to help Fubukimaru save his (her?) sister from a deviant time traveler. Because of this, the movie deviates early on from the usual scatological humor of the tv show into an epic samurai action flick, with Shinchan mostly along for the ride.
Don't be turned off by the art style. The lack of details in the characters allows for a fluidity of animation that is rarely seen in anime movies.The movie starts off slow, but the middle of the movie in particular is one extended castle-raid, which is one of the best action scene I've ever seen in anime.
And just as you think everything is over, a twist reveals that time travel is much more complicated than you think. The future scenes have zany architecture reminiscent of Tekkon Kinkreet. The sight of a fuedal castle turning into a battle robot is wacky and awesome at the same time.
The movie drags on rather long, and ShinChan's juvenile humour never did make me laugh that much (then again, I am not the target audience) , but if you liked Castle of Cagliostro, or Samurai swordfights, check out this movie. You will be pleasantly surprised.

My school is planning to have a "Getting ready for Kindergarten" night at school for parents in May. We want to offer ideas of how they can prepare their child for starting school. I am looking for any ideas, resources, advice on how to organize and what to include.
Teach their children how to write their name!!!!
Tell them to let them practice using scissors.
Watch leapfrog letter factory to learn letters and sounds.
Give out booklets of handwriting paper and examples of letter formation. Give out number and letter flash cards. Also talk about the importance of practice. Finally, give them sight word cards! We did this last year and our kids came in HIGH!
Teach their children nursery rhymes – great phonemic readiness and literary classics in a child's world. i've always wanted to get a grant to give every incoming student a great nursery rhyme book.
We always have number and letter flash cards prepared. However, the best advice my colleague gives parents is for parents to teach their kids how to lose-gracefully. Many times kids have never lost a game in their life so it's a good skill to develop before the first day of K.
We did one and had different classrooms set up with different speakers. They stayed in each room for 15 minutes. Topics were social/emotional, a day in kindergarten, math, and language arts, When the parents were done they picked up our kids from the library and they got to have their picture taken with Santa.
Slide show presentation. Question/answer time. Kids go through lunch line to get the experience and we have snacks for them. And at the end we allow parents to go see 2 of our classrooms.
Wish we did this… Do you have a good turn out?
Thank you!!! These are all great comments! We have never done this before but think it would be very beneficial. Knowledge is power-right?
We do this each spring for the families that are new to our school and/ or new to kindergarten (others are welcome as well). We share school policies, procedures for lunch & dismissal and break into groups to take a tour of school. We share information and answer questions as they come up. We share pictures of current students and share expectations for the end of 1st quarter. For over the summer, we emphasize reading to your child, talking about books, sharing experiences and talking about those experiences to build oral language.
Our school has a Kindergarten round- up theme every Spring and each teacher teaches a mini lesson in phonics, math, and Bible. We also have a slideshow presentation of a day in the life of a kindergartener. I like the idea of sharing practical life skills for them to work on during the summer too!!
I've pinned several things to my Pinterest board to remind me what all I want to cover in the fall.
Tell them to help their child become confident by learning to do things on their own (tie shoes, pack backpack, etc).
I, too, was going to say introduce them to some of the standards. Parents really have no idea how hard kindergarten requirements have become.
We give out a brochure with readiness skills for K. We also give the parents a survey to give to their child's preschool teacher which the teacher then mails back to us to give us a snapshot of the child's experiences in preschool. Along with a summer screening, we use those to help us form our class lists for the new year.
Know how to spell name, now the alphabet out of order, tie shoes, etc. parents have no idea how much work kindergarten is now!
Everybody has great input. I will also add that we go through very thoroughly how students will be dismissed to their buses. we also have parents who are very concerned about how their child will know how to get on the correct bus or out the correct door.
I have been teaching kindergarten for 20 plus years . . . I just feel like it is my job to take each child where he is at and go from there . . . I hate thinking that children are behind in kindergarten. My kids make so much progress during the year and I am proud of all of them! Kindergarten used to be a starting point, and I still think that is the best way to start the year.
I make this presentation every spring. Everything you always wanted to know about Kindergarten; 6:30, in the library; childcare is provided by our Pre-K and local Head Start staff at their respective sites.

He will always be in our memories - Heartbroken family pay tribute to murdered Chris West
Chris West was stabbed to death by Kai Nazir in Cambourne last year
Tom Pilgrim
The heartbroken family of murder victim Chris West have spoken of their devastation at the loss of a loving husband, brother, uncle and son.
Mr West was stabbed to death in a brutal attack by Kai Nazir at the Monkfield Arms pub in October last year.
Twenty-year-old Nazir was sentenced to life in prison today (September 10) after being found guilty of Mr West's murder, as well as the attempted murder of his friend Daniel Berryman.
In a statement Mr West's family said the sentencing at Cambridge Crown Court marked "the beginning of the end of a truly horrendous period in all our lives".
They continued: "Time will never make this injustice any easier, nor will it change the fact Chris's life was cut short just as it was getting started.
"The sense of loss and grief that we all personally feel is as nothing when compared to the sense of sorrow we feel for Chris, who as a result of this needless act, will never be able to achieve his goals and fulfil his potential.
"We and his friends will always remember Chris for his good humour, kindness, big heart, selflessness, moral compass and his compassion which made him an integral part of all our lives. He will always be in our memories."
'No mother should ever have to go through such pain'

Mr West's mother, Ethel, said that she would never be able to accept that her son had been taken away from her.
In a statement read out in court today she described the horrifying moment she learned of Mr West's murder.
"Nothing in my whole life ever have prepared me for that knock that every mother dreads," she said.
"From the moment I had my first child it was something that I worried about literally every night."
Mrs West said her son "loved life so much" and and been trying for a baby with his wife Rebecca.
"I will never get to see my son be the father he always longed to be," she said.

Chris West worked alongside his father, Jim, doing painting and decorating work and had built up a good reputation with their clients.
Jim West, who served for 11 years in the British Army, was unable to return to work for four months after Mr West's death and still struggles to cope.
"Now he is completely broken," wrote Mrs West. "Jim feels guilt that he was able to protect our country but could not protect our son."

Mrs West said she struggled to find the words to best describe her loss, adding: "I never will as long as I live because when my son was taken from me a very large part of me went with him."
She added: "The impact of Christopher's murder has had on me is immeasurable. No mother should ever have to go through such pain."
'Not a day will go by where he is not loved, missed and remembered'

Mr West's mother said she cried when she learned his killer would serve a minimum of 26 years in prison.
"I could think was that Chris and Becky would have raised their beautiful children in that time," she said.
"This is one family that will never heal from what has happened."
In an accompanying statement, Mr West's sister, also called Rebecca, said she missed her brother "more than any words can describe".
She added: "Each day is a new day of waking up and realising that he is gone, another day in which I am asked questions from my 5-year-old daughter who is crying and upset because she misses her uncle.
Remembering her much-missed brother she concluded: "Christopher was the most beautiful, kindest, loving husband, brother, uncle and son.
"And not a day will go by where he is not loved, missed and remembered."

Shore Bets: Monmouth Park June 18

We are pleased to welcome Shore Bets back for another season of Monmouth Park racing.
by John Piassek
If you like two-year-old racing, today's card at Monmouth Park is for you. Three out of the eleven races on the card are for the youngsters. Today's feature race is the Dan Horn Handicap, named after the Jersey-bred star of the late 1970s and scheduled for one mile on the grass. Eleven horses, representing a fine contingent of Jersey-breds, will contest this one.
Race 1: Maiden Claiming $40,000, 2yo, Fillies, 4 ½ Furlongs
It's unusual for a two-year-old race at this time of the year to have more than one horse who has already run. Yet, this race contains FIVE horses who have raced before, with all of them coming out of the same June 3 maiden race that was run here at Monmouth. The horse who ran the best in there was the 1, Misschief Maas, who finished fourth after breaking from the far outside post position. With such a short run into the turn in those 4 ½ furlong races, it would've been a miracle if she was closer than seven lengths to the finish at the end. Today, she draws the inside post position, picks up the dynamite Paco Lopez, and continues to be trained by Eddie Plesa, the best trainer of two-year-olds at Monmouth.
The 6, Royal Chapeau, is the lone first-time-starter in here, and the other Plesa entrant. She turned in a fantastic bullet workout last Saturday, and has been working well at three furlongs. In a 4 ½ furlong race, that kind of well-honed speed is almost perfect. The 2, Arch Legacy, was also hung wide last time out, and got the most betting support of anyone coming out of that race (at 15/1). She's another one who may benefit from being closer to the inside.
1- Misschief Maas
6- Royal Chapeau
2- Arch Legacy
Race 2: Maiden Special Weight, 2yo, 5 Furlongs
In stark contrast to the opener, this bunch is very inexperienced. The only one who's run before is the 2, Redeemable, who lost his 4 ½ furlong debut by 37 lengths. In a normal race, that is the equivalent of losing by eight billion lengths, so he's a non-factor in here. As such, the question becomes: who among the first-timers do you want?
Because the race is so wide-open on paper, I will take a total shot in the dark and take the 6, My Carrots. He's working very well coming into this race, throwing down a bullet four-furlong workout in 47.1 seconds. That was the fastest of 89 workouts at that distance. Jockey Antonio Gallardo has quietly been having a good meet, hitting at 25% from twenty-four mounts, and trainer John Mazza, while not a huge name in Jersey, is 21% with horses in maiden races, and has popped one big-priced winner with a first-time-starter. You'll probably get a good price on him, and in a race like this, that's something that you want.
The 3, Bronson, will almost undoubtedly go off as the favorite. He was a $350,000 yearling, is trained by Todd Pletcher, and gets Paco Lopez for his first career mount. All of these factors will combine to make him the chalk, and I can't eat chalk of that magnitude in a two-year-old race with so many first-timers. While he should be used on any early pick 5 tickets, it would be a bad bet to play him to win, unless he somehow goes off at less than 1/1. The 4, Nonno, was a $125,000 purchase earlier this year, trained by the always-dangerous Kelly Breen and picking up the excellent finisher Nik Juarez to ride.
6- My Carrots
3- Bronson
4- Nonno
Race 3: Maiden Claiming $50,000, 3yo and up, 5 ½ Furlongs (Grass)
This is the first race of the day in which the majority of the entrants have experience, which makes for much easier handicapping. I'll select the 2, Mojo Rising, who is shipping down from Belmont Park to run here. On the surface, he's shown next to nothing in terms of form, with a ninth and a tenth-place finish in his only two races. Still, compared to these, his brisnet figures were pretty strong: he ran a 59 in his debut, and a 64 last out. Furthermore, he showed a ton of early speed last time out, only to fold badly while going seven furlongs. At this 5 ½ furlong distance, he should be able to shoot to the lead from his inside post position, and hold on all the way around this time.
The 1, Spanish Villa, looks the better of the two halves of the coupled entry; he ran a respectable 63 upon his debut on grass two races ago, and improved that figure slightly when sprinting on dirt last out. Perhaps he'll enjoy the shorter instance on the lawn. The 8, Abundant Faith, disappointed in his first race off the long layoff last out, but ran strongly when fresh last fall. He ran in the 70s twice last summer and fall both here and at the Meadowlands.
2- Mojo Rising
1- Spanish Villa
8- Abundant Faith
Race 4: Claiming $10,000, 3yo and up, Fillies and Mares, 1 Mile 70 Yards
Open claimers will contest this one. My pick can be found on the far outside, in the form of the 7, Rosie's Faith. She was second last out against starter allowance competition last out at Delaware Park, running a strong figure of 81, the second-best last-out figure in the race. She's also got back form, running figures as high as 85 over the winter at Gulfstream Park. In a race without a ton of early speed, if Roberto Alvarado wants to, he can hustle her out the front, cross over to the lead, and go all the way. Of course, her general style also allows her to rate off the leaders—whoever they may be—and go on by. Any way you slice it, she has a great chance.
The 3, Harlington Romance, is also shipping up from Delaware, where she was second against $8,000 horses last out while running a season-best of 83. She's improved dramatically in all of her races this year, and while 83 may very well be her ceiling as far as speed figures go, that still makes her a serious contender. The 4, First Acquital, makes her second start off the layoff, and will seek to improve after finishing fifth against Jersey-breds last out. Even though she was well behind the winner, she was only two lengths behind the third-place finisher.
7- Rosie's Faith
3- Harlington Romance
4- First Acquital
Race 5: Allowance (n/w1x), 3yo and up, 1 Mile (Grass)
There are standouts, and then there is a horse like the 6, Boss Man. He stands out like a sore thumb in a room full of people who had their thumbs cut off. He was last seen running against similar allowance foes at Gulfstream, where he won at the starter level three races ago. In his last three races, he's earned an 88, an 89, and a 91. No one else in the race has run that well in any of their last three outings, making Boss Man the rare "triple fig" horse. When you couple this with him being trained by the hot Jason Servis, and throw in Paco Lopez picking up the mount, it's going to be hard to go against him.
The 5, Iamahandsome Man, is the most likely horse to upset Boss Man, should Boss Man not fire for whatever reason. He won over this course easily last out, running a figure of 87. More notably, he was entered for $12,500 last week, but was scratched to run here. The fact that he was put in a more difficult spot, rather than one where he would've been the clear-cut best horse in the race, suggests that his connections have optimism about his ability. The 7, Foxhall Drive, was fourth at this level last out, and has run at least an 81 in each of his last three races. He'll try to have a more ground-saving trip here.
6- Boss Man
5- Iamahandsome Man
7- Foxhall Drive
Race 6: Maiden Special Weight, 2yo, Fillies, 5 Furlongs
We've come full circle on the two-year-old spectrum, going from a race where almost everyone has run, to a race where at least one horse has experience, to one full of first-time-starters. None of the seven in here have ever raced before, nor do most of them have particularly adept trainers or jockeys.
The one glorious exception is the 5, Sweet Loretta. I know that I said a few races up that I was wary of taking short odds on a first-time-starter trained by Pletcher and ridden by Paco. Well, Sweet Loretta fits that bill here, but this field is not as competitive. To give you one idea, Pletcher is 22% with first-time-starters recently, and no other trainer is as good as 10%. Sweet Loretta will be a low price, to be "shore," but I fully expect a victory out of her.
There's a few other interesting alternatives here should Sweet Loretta disappoint first out. The 2, Discreetly Rockin, had a bullet four-furlong workout in 47.1 seconds last week, and in general has a strong worktab. She's a similar horse to her stablemate, My Carrots, who I picked on top in the second race. I almost picked Discreetly Rockin on top here, and she must be respected here, too. The 3, Mission Good Karma, worked three furlongs in 36.3 two workouts ago, and trainer Chuck Spina has quietly been hitting at 25% this meet.
5- Sweet Loretta
2- Discreetly Rockin
3- Mission Good Karma
Race 7: Claiming $12,500 (n/w2L), 3yo and up, Fillies and Mares, 6 Furlongs
It can be a tall task to ask a low-level horse to win their first two races. However, at least on paper, the 5, So Far Gone, appears to be good enough. She broke her maiden last out for a $10,000 tag, winning by seven lengths and earning a debut figure of 80. It was a pretty impressive race, too, at least as far as $10,000 maiden claiming races go. She dueled on the outside through a pretty fast opening quarter of 22.1 seconds, but dismissed her rival and drew away easily. Her pace figures are better than anyone else's, so another gate-to-wire victory could be on tap here. Not to mention, she's got the Navarro-Gonzales trainer-jockey combination.
The 6, Awesome Challenge, battled bravely throughout the stretch last out, winning by a nose going a mile and earning an 82. That was at a route, though, and that style may not work well with a blazing speedball like So Far Gone in here. She still must command respect. The 1, Outzap, broke her maiden for $35,000 two races ago, and now runs for a career-low tag. She finished third against better after a bad break last out, so getting a drop in class and a better start could do the trick.
5- So Far Gone
6- Awesome Challenge
1- Outzap
Race 8: Claiming $16,000 (n/w3L), 3yo and up, 5 ½ Furlongs (Grass)
Any time a horse gets claimed out of the Navarro barn, it brings up an interesting conundrum: can they duplicate the form that they showed under his care? That's the dilemma that confronts us with the 6, Starship Thor. Over the winter, he ran very well at Gulfstream, winning at the n/w2L level by seven lengths and running a sky-high figure of 90. However, he was claimed by Jane Cibelli. The question on everyone's mind is: what does that mean?
It means that Starship Thor is still the most likely winner. For one, Cibelli is one of the best trainers at the track: she's hitting at 26% so far this meet. Nik Juarez, one of the best jockeys here, retains the mount. Most importantly, perhaps, Starship Thor still showed great form pre-Navarro. He won at the $25,000 level while breaking his maiden last fall, running a figure of 80. He dueled on the outside in that race, staying on the fast pace to win by a length. Navarro claimed him out of that race. It's not a big stretch to think that he can improve a lot from three to four, and even that 80 may be good enough to win this one. Don't discount Starship Thor.
The 9, Stand and Salute, is taking a big drop down from the n/w1x allowance level, where he was hung impossibly wide. Back out in California, he ran grass figures as high as 84, so he'll try to save ground here. The 3, Breezy My Way, flattened out when going 1 1/16 miles last out, and has shown to run faster figures when going less than a mile.
6- Starship Thor
9- Stand and Salute
3- Breezy My Way
Race 9: Claiming $25,000 (n/w3L), 3yo and up, 5 ½ Furlongs
I'll go with the 5, Tizcano. He made his east coast debut last out, after being based in California. He led the way early on, only to get run down late. Still, he ran a respectable figure of 78, certainly not bad a horse making his first start in more than three months. Making his second start at Monmouth here, he should be more acclimated to the type of racing here, and once again possesses some of the most early speed in the field. In fact, the only one with a higher pace rating than him is the 4, Island Cat, who has backed up badly in his last two races. Tizcano can sit off the pace, then roll by the tired leader win easily.
The 1, Bettarun Realfast, makes his first start off the claim for Howard Brown, who is 24% with such horses. He ran in the mid-80s consistently at Gulfstream before regressing last out at Monmouth after an awkward break. The 2, Distinctivelygreat, finished just ahead of Bettarun Realfast last out, and has hit the board in four straight races. Jockey Navin Mangalee, however, has yet to win a race this meet.
5- Tizcano
1- Bettarun Realfast
2- Distinctivelygreat
Race 10: Dan Horn Handicap, 3yo and up, NJ-bred, 1 Mile (Grass)
It's the only stakes on the grass for Jersey-breds this year, which makes sense considering, outside of this race and Jersey-bred day near the end of the season, there are no races written for Jersey-breds. Among this field, I'll go with the 3, Chunnel. His grass record is not that great, or, for that matter, good at all. He's 1-for-16 over the surface. Yet, he's run some relatively decent races. In fact, he's earned at least an 80 in two out of his last three grass races, and ran a 79 in the other race. He's coming in here in good form, having won a dirt allowance last out, and it's not exactly a top-notch bunch. I think it's the perfect spot for him to get his second grass win.
The 6, Desperado, is my crazy longshot flyer in here. He's never won a race before, but ran well in his last grass race, finishing third against open maidens while running a figure of 80. He's a 15/1 morning line shot, but will likely be much bigger odds than that. Crazier things have happened. The 9, Oak Bluffs, won the My Frenchman Stakes over this course versus open company last year, and made a strong rally from the back to finish fourth in his 2016 debut last out. He's more adept at sprinting, so we'll see how well he can route here.
3- Chunnel
6- Desperado
9- Oak Bluffs
Race 11: Claiming $7,500 (n/w2L), 3yo and up, 1 1/16 Miles
Even though he let me down last time, I'll give another shot to the 5, Lefty Got it Right. He disappointed in his last race, finishing fourth at this level at 4/5 odds. While it doesn't appear as if he had much of an excuse that day, his form before that race is still better than that of many of his rivals here. Even better, because of that last race, he's "shore" to be a better price than him. In a race like this, that's worth a flyer.
The 7, Freedom for DLT, is certain to be overbet because of his last race. There, he had the least almost the whole way around against similar at Parx, lost the lead in the stretch, but re-rallied to win it. He ran an 83 in that race, but that was his best race by far. He's a heavy morning line favorite, and I can't take low odds based on an outlier race like that. The 3, Rockaway Creek, makes his third start off the layoff, after two decent races at this Monmouth meet. Last out, he rallied from last to get second at this level.
5- Lefty Got it Right
7- Freedom for DLT
3- Rockaway Creek

Q: In flutter How to call method in Container on click of button? In My flutter app, I have designed three buttons, now I want to call three methods on click of the buttons.
This is my screen:enter image description here
If i click on View button I want to call ViewAll() method. If I click on Rejected button then I want to call Reject() method. If I click on Accepted button then I want to call Accept() method.
This is my code:
 @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: new AppBar(
        title: new Text("Reallocation", style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white)),
        iconTheme: IconThemeData(color: Colors.white),
      ),
      backgroundColor: Colors.white,
      body: CustomScrollView(
        slivers: <Widget>[
          SliverToBoxAdapter(
            child: SizedBox(height: 5),
          ),
          SliverToBoxAdapter(
            child: Center(
              child: _tags1(context),
              heightFactor: 1.5,
            ),
          ),
         SliverToBoxAdapter(child: Divider(color: Colors.grey)),
          SliverToBoxAdapter(
            child: Center(

              //child: ViewAll(context,resultCheck3),
            )
         )
        ]
      ),
    );
  }

This widget for design buttons:
 Widget _tags1 (BuildContext context){
    return Container(
      child: Column(
        children: <Widget>[
          Row(
            children: <Widget>[
              Padding(padding: EdgeInsets.only(left:15.0)),
              Container(
                  child:RaisedButton(
                      shape: Border.all(width: 2.0, color: Colors.lightBlue),
                      child: Text("View"),
                      onPressed: (){

                      })
              ),
              Padding( padding: EdgeInsets.only(left:25.0)),
              Container(

                  child:RaisedButton(
                      shape: Border.all(width: 2.0, color: Colors.lightBlue),
                      child: Text("Rejected"),
                      onPressed: (){
                        // some code here
                      })
              ),
              Padding( padding: EdgeInsets.all(8)),
              Container(
                  child:RaisedButton(
                      shape: Border.all(width: 2.0, color: Colors.lightBlue),
                      child: Text("Accepted"),
                      onPressed: (){
                        // some code here
                      })
              )
            ],
          )

        ],
      ),
    );
}

Now i have called ViewAll() method directly in Body without on click.
I have 3 different buttons and 3 different methods.

A: You can directly call the method in onPressed method of the RaisedButton.

   shape: Border.all(width: 2.0, color: Colors.lightBlue),
   child: Text("Rejected"),
   onPressed: Rejected // this will the method for your rejected Button
)

This is just an example, You will have to figure out by yourself for the desired output you want. It's little difficult to give the exact solution.
Example:
int _viewFlag = 1;

 @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: new AppBar(
        title: new Text("Reallocation", style: TextStyle(color: Colors.white)),
        iconTheme: IconThemeData(color: Colors.white),
      ),
      backgroundColor: Colors.white,
      body: CustomScrollView(
        slivers: <Widget>[
          SliverToBoxAdapter(
            child: SizedBox(height: 5),
          ),
          SliverToBoxAdapter(
            child: Center(
              child: _tags1(context),
              heightFactor: 1.5,
            ),
          ),
         SliverToBoxAdapter(child: Divider(color: Colors.grey)),
          SliverToBoxAdapter(
            child: _viewFlag == 1 ? Center(
              child: ViewAll(context,resultCheck3),
            ) : _viewFlag == 2 ? Center(
              child: RejectAll(context,resultCheck3),
            ) : Center(
              child: AcceptAll(context,resultCheck3),
            )
         )
        ]
      ),
    );
  }

A: You can simply call your method in => "on pressed(){}".
Example:
{ _yourMethod(){
  // some code in here...
}
//...

FlatButton(
 onPressed: _yourMethod,
 child: const Text('Sign In',
   style: TextStyle(
     color: Colors.white,
     fontWeight: FontWeight.bold
   ),
 ),
 color: Colors.red,
),
