The showdown between No. 2 Duke and No. 3 Virginia brought one of basketball's biggest stars to Charlottesville, Virginia, on Saturday, but Blue Devils star Zion Williamson apparently didn't know about it.
When James was mentioned during his postgame media session, the freshman star said he was unaware of the four-time NBA MVP's presence.
"LeBron was out there?" Williamson said after he dropped 18 points in an 81-71 victory, according to ESPN's Myron Medcalf. "I didn't see LeBron."
It's possible Williamson didn't see James, but it's also possible he was doing his best to not give the media anything to feed on. Unfortunately for the freshman star, one of his teammates suggested the Blue Devils were indeed aware James was in the building.
"I mean, we noticed, but you definitely still got a game to win, so we're focused," Duke forward RJ Barrett said, per Medcalf.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski revealed that James gave him a heads-up that he might make his way to the game. Coach K noted that it was a "cool" move by the NBA star.
The Blue Devils did an outstanding job of maintaining their focus despite the buzz surrounding both the contest and the celebrity appearance. Barrett (contest-high 26 points) and fellow freshman Cam Reddish (17) were on top of their games, as they combined for 11 triples.
Duke shot an impressive 57.8 percent (26-of-45) from the field and 61.9 percent (13-of-21) from three-point range against a Cavaliers program known for its defense.
Most notably, the freshman quartet of Williamson, Barrett, Reddish and Tre Jones were not intimidated by the spotlight. They combined for all but seven of the Blue Devils' 81 points.
It was just Virginia's second loss of the season, and both have come against Krzyzewski's team.
While James wanted to get a firsthand look at Duke, it may not be long before he is sharing a court with the Blue Devils stars. According to Bleacher Report draft analyst Jonathan Wasserman, Williamson (No. 1), Barrett (No. 2), Reddish (No. 4) and Jones (No. 17) are among the top prospects for the 2019 NBA draft.

Stage 1 of reopening Ontario: Here's what you need to know
Outdoor gatherings, non-essential retail, overnight camping and more can once again be enjoyed, but in limited capacity
Sudbury.com Staff Jun 7, 2021 5:00 PM
The Ontario government, in consultation with the chief medical officer of health, will move the province into Step One of its Roadmap to Reopen on Friday, June 11, a few days ahead of schedule.(File)
The Ontario government, in consultation with the chief medical officer of health, will move the province into Step One of its Roadmap to Reopen on Friday, June 11, a few days ahead of schedule.
The move is based on the provincewide vaccination rate and continuing improvements in key public health and health system indicators, including the vaccination of 60 per cent of adults with at least one dose for two weeks or longer, ensuring the first dose offers a strong level of protection against COVID-19.
As of June 6 at 8:00 p.m., 72 per cent of the 18+ population in Ontario had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine with over 10 million doses now having been administered.
"Thanks to the ongoing success of Team Ontario's vaccine rollout and the ongoing improvements in public health trends, we are able to enter step one of the Roadmap and begin to safely and cautiously lift restrictions," said Premier Doug Ford in a release.
Before entering Step One, the province said it also needed to see continued improvement in key public health and health system indicators. During the period of May 25 to 31, the provincial case rate decreased by 35.1 per cent.
As of June 6, the number of patients with COVID-19 in ICUs is 497, including 31 patients from Manitoba, as compared to 687 two weeks ago. The province's situation is currently exceeding the best-case scenario presented in recent modelling, which indicated the province would reach below 1,000 new daily infections by June 30.
Step 1 reopening plans are focused on low-risk outdoor activities with small crowds. It will also permit more limited indoor settings to be open, all with restrictions in place. In consultation with the chief medical officer of health, the Ontario government has amended Step 1 to also permit indoor religious services, rites and ceremonies, including wedding and funeral services limited to 15 per cent capacity.
Step 1 of the Roadmap to Reopen includes (but is not limited to):
Outdoor social gatherings and organized public events with up to 10 people;
Outdoor religious services, rites, or ceremonies, including wedding services and funeral services, capped at the number of people that can maintain a physical distance of two metres;
Indoor religious services, rites, or ceremonies, including wedding services and funeral services permitted at up to 15 per cent capacity of the particular room;
Non-essential retail permitted at 15 per cent capacity, with no restrictions on the goods that can be sold;
Essential and other select retail permitted at 25 per cent capacity, with no restrictions on the goods that can be sold;
Outdoor dining with up to four people per table, with exceptions for larger households;
Outdoor fitness classes, outdoor groups in personal training and outdoor individual/team sport training to be permitted with up to 10 people, among other restrictions;
Day camps for children permitted to operate in a manner consistent with the safety guidelines for COVID-19 produced by the Office of the Chief Medical Officer of Health;
Overnight camping at campgrounds and campsites, including Ontario Parks, and short-term rentals;
Concert venues, theatres and cinemas may open outdoors for the purpose of rehearsing or performing a recorded or broadcasted concert, artistic event, theatrical performance or other performance with no more than 10 performers, among other restrictions;
Outdoor horse racing tracks and motor speedways permitted to operate without spectators; and
Outdoor attractions such as zoos, landmarks, historic sites, botanical gardens with capacity and other restrictions.
In addition, to support students who have worked incredibly hard throughout the pandemic, the government is enabling school boards for public and private elementary and high schools to invite students back for a brief outdoor end-of-year celebration. Any in-person school year celebrations will need to meet specific requirements.
The province will remain in Step 1 for at least 21 days to evaluate any impacts on key public health and health system indicators. If at the end of the 21 days the province has vaccinated 70 per cent of adults with one dose and 20 per cent of adults with two doses and there are continued improvements in other key public health and health system indicators, the province will move to Step 2 of the reopening plan.
All public health and workplace safety measures currently in place will remain in effect until the province moves to Step 1 on June 11 12:01 a.m.

As of Q1 2017, Twitter had about 330 million active users, up about 10 million from Q4 2016 (source). Although the grow is slow, the pool of potential users is there. To tap into the large potential audience, we need to build a constant stream of engaged followers.
Loper emphasizes, "Twitizens, as well as everyone on all other platforms, are looking to connect with someone they can trust, someone they want to take a closer look at their material and become a referring ambassador for you.
"First of all, you need to customize your profile. Use high-quality photos for your profile and cover. Write an informational and to the point bio. Provide any credibility you have.
"Second, you need to be consistent with your posting schedule. I like to use the 4-1-1 strategy where I share 4 pieces of curated valuable content, retweet someone's tweet and finally share 1 piece with a CTA to read my blog, sign up to my newsletter or buy something. Buffer is my weapon of choice for automation.
She said,"I just discovered an awesome tool that is doing its best to document as many Tweet Chats as they can and share data about them — Iconhash." Taylor, a small business influencer, adds that: "Right now, it's free and you can easily see if it's large or small and who the most influential participants are. As someone who hosts #BizapaloozaChat – believe me – they want you there.
Carroll emphasizes that method number 1 is the most important. "For someone just starting these methods are tried and true. In my opinion [method 1], since people want to follow others that offer something they want to learn and is of value.
Sharing things our audience is interested in to get more Twitter followers is easier said than done. According to Harris Scahcter, "First of all, you need to declare what it is you're about any why someone should follow you.


It may conjure images of childhood, sitting in the barber's chair, wrapped in a cloth, feeling the buzz of the clippers and bits of your falling hair gently tickling the back of your neck while the adults laughed and talked. Perhaps men's hairstyles and trends are a source of perpetual interest for you. Whatever your motivations, men's hairstyles are becoming increasingly more complex and varied and the need for skilled, trained individuals to keep up with demand is growing. If you are interested in starting a career as a barber in Georgia, then this article can help get you started.
In order to begin your barbering career you must first find a school. Georgia has a number of beauty and cosmetology schools that offer barbering programs. A quick online search returns several online directories that list institutions that have barbering certification courses. In order to receive a license, one must complete a barbering program at an accredited GA school and pass a written and practical exam. Also, in order to take the final exam, you must have a minimum of 1,500 hours of training. If you would rather not go to school to become a barber than you can also serve as an apprentice in a shop. This requires the student to undertake 3,000 hours of training before they can attempt the licensing exam. The students hours will be logged weekly by the master barber and the shop owner.
Growth in the barbering and hair care industry is predicted to be good over the next ten years. Demand for barbers will grow by 11% by 2022 according to the Bureau of Labor statistics. This is about the same as general job growth. As the population rises the demand for basic hair care needs will rise as well.
Pay for this job can be pretty good considering it does not require a four-year degree. The salaries for barbers in GA range from $17,300 per year to $44,300 per year. The average salary is $23,900 per year. Barbers can also make tips on top of base wage. If you are interesting in pursuing a career in barbering, live in Georgia and would like some more information, then here is a link to the State Board of Cosmetology license requirements page. Also, if you decide to attend an institution you may be able to get financial aid either from the institution the government or both. Be sure to fill out the FAFSA in order find out.

Making Community Essential
October 6 & 7 | Live Online
A Deepening Community Conversation
Join us on October 6 and 7 for a live online national conversation from Kitchener, Ontario, as Tamarack's Learning Community convenes to discuss how we are going to rebuild social connection after the COVID pandemic.
The pandemic response in Canada was swift, and, given the severity of the situation unprecedented. Though on a technical level we were able to isolate to reduce the spread of the virus, we failed to effectively address the social condition of people. Some would say we were unprepared. People who were lonely became lonelier. Communities that were disconnected became more disconnected.
Join us for the conversation
We will learn together with an unprecedented team of thought leaders from communities across North America that have innovative responses to COVID recovery and community building and have implemented effective social responses. We will learn about the unprecedented spontaneous uprising of everyday people taking action to support their neighbours.
Click on the video below to hear what our Thought Leaders are looking forward to this October 6 and 7.
A Build Back Better Conversation:
- What can we learn from forced social disconnection?
- What will the great reconnect look like and how do we help?
- Can we rebuild people's trust in public spaces and community gatherings?
- Why building stronger neighbourhoods are so effective?
- Community health and the role that social connection plays in well-being.
- How do we strengthen civil society and collective action in our cities?
- Put community at the centre of our municipal recovery plans.
- Building back using an Asset-Based Community Development framework?
This event is for everyone interested in connecting with like-minded people to learn from the COVID pandemic experience through a community lens. Municipal staff and community governments who are considering recovery plans, for community development workers working to improve their neighbourhoods. For those who care about community resilience and building back better, this gathering is an unprecedented opportunity to connect with an amazing learning community and some of the best thought leaders in the field.

UN agencies urge global action as drought looms over Africa's Sahel region
UNICEF/Tremeau

United Nations agencies have urged greater international support to stave off severe food insecurity in Africa's western Sahel; a region reeling from the effects of conflict and now threatened by drought and rising hunger.
According to estimates, about five million people in northern Senegal, southern Mauritania and parts of Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso and Chad, will require food and livelihood assistance, after having exhausted their food reserves – which may run out by the end of this month.
In normal weather conditions, supplies would last beyond June, into September.
"We are hearing of people cutting down the number of daily meals and children dropping out of school," Abdou Dieng, the Regional Director of the UN World Food Programme (WFP) for West and Central Africa, said in a news release on Thursday.
"Those are telling signs of a looming disaster that the world cannot continue to ignore."
It is feared the region's children will be the worst affected, with more than 1.6 million at risk of severe acute malnutrition this year – representing a 50 per cent increase compared with the last major nutrition crisis in the Sahel, in 2012.
Marie-Pierre Poirier, the Regional Director for West and Central Africa at the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) said that it was "tragic that the same mothers are coming back to the clinics year after year with their children for treatment."
It is tragic that the same mothers are coming back to the clinics year after year with their children for treatment of severe acute malnutrition
— UNICEF official Marie-Pierre Poirier
This year, the numbers have been the worst, she added.
"We can break this cycle if we invest now in building resilience – making families, communities and national authorities better equipped to prevent and deal with similar shocks in the future," said Ms. Poirier.
Strengthening resilience is also the top priority for the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
"What will help stabilize the Sahel is support for pastoralists and agro-pastoralists, during this lean season and in the future, to cope with shocks that include climate change and conflicts," said Coumba Sow, the Sub-Regional Coordinator for Resilience for FAO across the region.
To mitigate the impact of the immediate crisis, the three UN agencies have developed a joint response to cover food needs, protect livelihoods and address malnutrition.
They have also prepared longer-term interventions, including improving access to local food resources as well as strengthening health and social services to allow communities and countries at large, to prevent and deal with similar shocks in the future.
Implementing these programmes however, relies on sufficient funding.
Fully funded, the WFP response (requiring $284 million) will provide food and nutrition to some 3.5 million people. UNICEF's response ($264 million) will protect almost 1 million children from severe acute malnutrition and provide them access to water and sanitation facilities and education until the end of the year.
The FAO response (requiring $128 million, of which $45 million is urgently needed) will help the situation from further deteriorating for 2.5 million livestock and other farmers, and their families.

The latest Montana politics, elections and Legislature news.
2020 Candidate Profile: Steve Daines For U.S. Senate
Montana Public Radio | By Kevin Trevellyan
Published October 26, 2020 at 6:58 PM MDT
U.S. Senator Steve Daines is running for re-election to the U.S. Senate
This week we're running profiles on both the Democratic and Republican candidates in the race. YPR News' Kevin Trevellyan brings us this look at Steve Daines and his bid for reelection.
"How many of you are voting for President Trump?" an emcee calls out to enthusiastic cheers.
There's no shortage of support for President Donald Trump during a recent GOP rally held outside Bozeman and headlined by Vice President Mike Pence. As incumbent Sen. Steve Daines finds out, the audience's enthusiasm also extends to candidates down the ballot.
"How many of you will vote for Steve Daines?" the emcee asks. The crowd claps and chants, "Six more years chants."
Rally attendee Kip Penniman plans to support the whole Republican ticket this year, including Daines. The Bozeman resident says he moved north from California to escape what he perceives as liberal infringement on his rights.
"We're here because we're tired of all the stuff going on," Penniman says.
Daines has branded himself a strong supporter of the president's agenda since Trump took office. And like the president, Daines often points to his work in private business during his campaigns for public office.
"If you sum up what I have talked about for many years, it's probably four words. More jobs and less government," Daines said during a recent interview.
After growing up in Bozeman, Daines spent 13 years in management for Procter & Gamble, including six marketing products in Hong Kong and China. He later worked as an executive for RightNow Technologies, a Bozeman software company founded by U.S. Congressman and Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Gianforte. A larger tech firm eventually purchased the company for nearly $2 billion.
Daines first ran for public office in 2008 in an unsuccessful bid to become lieutenant governor.
University of Montana political scientist Christopher Muste says Daines made his first fruitful foray into politics, a 2012 run for the U.S. House, in the mold of Montana Republicans like former Gov. Marc Racicot and former Secretary of State Bob Brown.
"Somewhat more conservative but still reaching across the aisle. Not being as socially conservative as the more socially conservative wing of the Republican Party here in Montana," Muste says.
Daines comfortably won his Senate seat in 2014 against Democratic former state lawmaker Amanda Curtis, who got the post-primary nomination after incumbent Sen. John Walsh was embroiled in a plagiarism scandal.
Two years later in 2016, Daines hadn't yet come around on Trump's run for the White House, telling the Billings Gazette that he wasn't his first or even second choice for president.
While Marc Racicot and Bob Brown have both stayed moderate, announcing this year they won't support Trump's reelection, Muste says Daines has since shifted to the right. He says the senator's embrace of Trump embodies a larger trend among Montana Republican leaders over the last several years.
The political scientist says it's unclear if that strategy will work in 2020. An Oct. 14 Montana State University poll found Trump ahead of Biden by seven percentage points in Montana, far less than Trump's 20 point win over Hilary Clinton in 2016.
"I think there are some fault lines in there and Daines has a little more of a tricky path to walk not alienating people who consider themselves conservative, but not extremely conservative," Muste says.
Muste says issues like forest management reform represent the senator trying to appeal to moderate voters.
Daines is a cosponsor of the Emergency Wildfire and Public Safety Act of 2020, introduced by California Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Daines says it's an example of his "more jobs, less government" approach.
He says the bill will increase timber jobs by ramping up fuels reduction near roads and power transmission lines. The bill does this by exempting forest projects from a full environmental review. The senator also says it prevents what he calls frivolous lawsuits to halt U.S. Forest Service timber projects.
"Either we're going to manage our forests or our forests are going to manage us," Daines says.
After failing to get several forest management provisions into a 2018 spending bill, Daines thinks having a Democratic sponsor in Feinstein will help the legislation's chances.
"The heavy lifting in Congress is finding bipartisan solutions. If you want to have a rally or a press release, you can go off on your own and say something or introduce a bill on your own. But if you want to get an outcome, you have to find a way to do it in a bipartisan fashion," Daines says.
Daines has also waded into fierce partisan battles in D.C. as a champion for Trump's agenda. He was vocally against the impeachment of Trump, supported extending the southern border wall and was quick to back the president's U.S. Supreme Court picks.
Daines also supports repealing the Affordable Care Act, known as Obamacare, which has been a campaign promise of Trump. According to a poll by Kaiser Family Foundation, the national health care law has become more popular in recent years, although Republicans across the country still favor overturning it. Daines says he wants to keep protections for people with pre-existing conditions through a GOP proposal called the Protect Act.
University of Montana health care economist Bryce Ward says that claim doesn't hold up under scrutiny. Unlike the ACA, Ward says the Protect Act allows insurers to exclude coverage for essential benefits, charge older people far more for insurance and impose annual limits on how much they pay out.
"It's all dessert, no vegetables," Ward says. "If your definition of protect includes 'Make sure that you're allowed to get a comprehensive insurance plan at a price that is somewhat similar to what exists under the Affordable Care Act,' then no, Steve Daines is not 'protecting pre-existing conditions.'"
Though he's in line with the Trump administration on many issues, including health care policy, Daines says he challenges the president when it's in Montanans' best interests.
Daines joined the rest of Montana's congressional delegation in pushing back against recent U.S. Postal Service changes, and he successfully urged the Trump administration to send more 2020 Census counters to Montana as the state lagged behind the national response rate with just weeks left to count.
Daines also says he helped get the U.S. Department of Labor to overturn a decision to close the Anaconda Job Corps training center last year.
"I said 'Mr. President, you're not getting good information. And I know there's been a recommendation here for these closures. We need to keep these open.' I explained this to him the good metrics we were seeing from the Montana centers," Daines says.
Trump says Daines has his ear. The president recently held a telerally in support of Republican U.S. House candidate Matt Rosendale and Daines.
"When he calls I take his call and do what he says because it's always good and the right thing to do."
Trump says Daines was the driving force behind the Great American Outdoors Act, which permanently funded the Land and Water Conservation Fund and devoted billions to national park maintenance.
"This was Steve's baby," Trump said.
The act was also cosponsored by another Western U.S. Senator facing a competitive reelection race this year, Republican Corey Gardner of Colorado. Daines says the bill was an example of divided lawmakers coming together.
"I'll look back on that as being one of the most satisfying and important wins and outcomes for Montana and for our country, probably in my career in the Senate," Daines says.
Daines voted against reauthorizing the Land and Water Conservation Fund when it came up as an amendment to a Keystone XL pipeline bill in 2015, saying at the time that he supported the program but wanted to see more transparency and a larger role for states. His support for the fund this year drew tempered praise from conservation groups that criticize Daines on other land management issues, like a 2017 bill to release five wilderness study areas, nearly 500,000 acres in Montana.
As for a second Senate term if he's reelected, Daines says the novel coronavirus pandemic is the most pressing issue facing the country.
On the campaign trail, he's repeatedly touted his role passing aid packages in Congress securing $10 billion in federal funding for COVID-19 vaccine and treatment research.
"I remain cautiously optimistic we're going to see breakthroughs in these therapeutic drugs and a vaccine over the course of the next several months, which I believe will eventually put an end to the pandemic," Daines says.
Current Gov. Steve Bullock, the Democratic challenger, has repeatedly slammed Daines and the Senate at large for not passing additional coronavirus relief. Though he supports passing more aid, Daines has said he opposes Democratic efforts to provide more money directly to states.
The contest between Daines and Bullock has drawn record breaking financial support, with Daines' $24.5 million trailing Bullock's $38 million. Advertising Analytics rates it the fifth most expensive Senate race of all time nationally.
Trump hasn't been the only national Republican figure trying to rally votes for Daines in a race the Cook Political Report calls a toss-up.
Former Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley stumped for Daines and other GOP candidates in the home stretch of this election season.
In the crowd was Ken Johnson. The Conrad farmer says he's exhausted by Congress' polarization and appreciates Daines' ability to seek compromise.
"Most of us live in the middle. We tend to be one way or another a little bit, but we're not completely radical, the vast majority of us," Johnson says.
Johnson feels that farmers have Daines' ear in Washington D.C. He says the United States–Mexico–Canada Agreement Daines voted for this year opened the door to sell more grain to Canada.
Johnson worries Democrats will gain more influence in the federal government. Haley echoes that point during her speech, framing Daine's reelection as key to protecting America as we know it.
"This is about what life will look like the day after the election," Haley said.
As Republicans and Democrats wrestle for control of the Senate, the race between Daines and Bullock could play a key role in determining the future political power in Congress.
Election Day is Nov. 3.

Q: Passing database values to JavaScript under Symfony? I am creating an autocomplete tool for a specific input field in a form. The autocomplete is fed by a JavaScript array containing the values to suggest, and it works the way I want with fake values. But now, I want to feed the array with actual values from my MySQL database, meaning I have to get my DB's values (an entire column's values, it happens) to this array somehow. Note that I only need to store these values once, like when the page loads.
I've been browsing a lot, but haven't tried anything by lack of understanding of the code and mechanisms. The answer I need is close to what this thread is suggesting, but I couldn't understand how the OP linked his controller to his JavaScript (storing the value of an HTML element with the ID "categories-fetch" in a JS variable seems a bit insufficient to me, if not irrelevant).
I am using HTML-CSS-JS for the front end, Symfony and Doctrine for the back-end and DB communication with MySQL. Any ideas?
SOLUTION EDIT:
With help from @Davis, managed it with a method that gets the data:

*

*From the database to PHP

*From PHP to Twig (@Davis's answer)

*From Twig to JS

I've been a day behind all week long. Seriously. I thought yesterday was Monday, and I've been thinking all day that today was Tuesday. Thanks, long weekend.
Tomorrow my little one turns TWO. Two whole years old. I can't believe it. We are super excited about her party on Saturday. We're just having a little cookout with some friends and family, but it's all Winnie the Pooh themed and I can't wait for her to see her cake. I'm just hoping that it doesn't decide to rain.
Adri's sleeping on the couch right now, and I just got dinner going on the stove (we're having meat sauce and perogies for dinner). After naptime we are going to head outside for a little while, since it's the first nice day we've had all week.
I have 50#s of red seed potatoes coming tomorrow so I'm sure we'll be busy planting them all tomorrow afternoon and Friday. The rest of the garden is doing so well. The plants are loving being out in the sun and dirt now and really took right off. I'll have to take some pictures of the garden soon.
I'm off to work on some knitting, and take a little break while Posie naps. Have a wonderful Wednesday!
The bump makes a good pillow, I guess.
Our diaper order arrived yesterday and it's always the highlight of Adri's day. I mean, what toddler wouldn't love 200 diapers?
Playing outside after the rain on Memorial Day.
Such a dear little girl. I've been reading your blog since before she was born and have really enjoyed seeing her progress. And now she will soon be a big sister! Blessings on her and all of you.

Q: How to 'setstate' an element from one AlertDialog I made two forms with pass fields on both, then made all the code to, when the user clicks in the eye Icon, the field show the password, clicking again it hide the password.
But now I put these forms inside an Alert Dialog widget and now it doesn't updating when I click in the icon, only updates if I close the dialog and open again (you open the dialog, click in the icon, it doesn't change. If you close and open again you see the icon changed)
After some search I tried Stateful Builder but it doesn't work too.
Dialog:
Future<void> _myDialog(child){
    return showDialog<void>(
        context: context,
        builder: (BuildContext context) {
          return SingleChildScrollView(
            child: AlertDialog(
              content: StatefulBuilder(
                builder: (BuildContext context, StateSetter setState) {
                  return Padding(
                    padding: EdgeInsets.all(20),
                    child: child,
                  );
                },
              ),
              insetPadding: EdgeInsets.only(left: 10, right: 10),
            ),
          );
        }
    );
  }

Toggle method referenced in my textFields:
void _toggle(int index) {
    setState(() {
      _toggleList[index] = !_toggleList[index];
    });
  }

How can I toggle it instantly when the user click in the icon as outside the alert?
Edit
Row _showButtons(){
    return Row(
      children: [
        RaisedButton(
            child: Text("Change email"),

            onPressed: () {_myDialog(_showEmailFields());}
        ),
        RaisedButton(
            child: Text("Change pass"),

            onPressed: () {_myDialog(_showPassFields());}
        ),
      ],
    );
  }

A: I have created a structure for you that you should use for achieving what you want here. Make your forms into a separate stateful widgets, so that they have their own State, and you call the right setState function. Right now the setState function you are calling does not belongs to the state of your alert dialog.
class Test extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  State<StatefulWidget> createState() => _TestState();
}

class _TestState extends State<Test> {
  void showForm() {
    showDialog(
      context: context,
      builder: (context) {
        return AlertDialog(
          title: Text("Login"),
          content: LoginWidget(),
        );
      },
    );
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    TextTheme textTheme = Theme.of(context).textTheme;
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text("Appbar"),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: RaisedButton(
          child: Text("Show Form"),
          onPressed: showForm,
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

class LoginWidget extends StatefulWidget {
  LoginWidget({Key key}) : super(key: key);
  @override
  LoginWidgetState createState() => LoginWidgetState();
}

class LoginWidgetState extends State<LoginWidget> {
  GlobalKey<FormState> _formKey;
  bool _passwordVisible;
  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _formKey = GlobalKey<FormState>();
    _passwordVisible = false;
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Form(
      key: _formKey,
      child: Column(
        children: [
          TextFormField(
            decoration: InputDecoration(labelText: "Email"),
          ),
          SizedBox(
            height: 10,
          ),
          TextFormField(
            obscureText: !_passwordVisible,
            decoration: InputDecoration(
              labelText: "Password",
              suffixIcon: IconButton(
                onPressed: () {
                  setState(() {
                    _passwordVisible = !_passwordVisible;
                  });
                },
                icon: Icon(
                    _passwordVisible ? Icons.visibility : Icons.visibility_off),
              ),
            ),
          ),

The Firecracker House and the Terrible Bitter Winter
Once there was a rough and tumble, rattle-trap, loud and lively house, and everyone said it looked like a fire-cracker. It was true that its perfectly cylindrical shape, bright blue color, and red-checkered cone-shaped roof made it look like it could shoot into the air at any moment, but in reality it was firmly attached to the earth.
That didn't mean what was inside it wasn't explosive, though. Indeed, inside its rounded walls, lived four of the brightest, fieriest, most intense children the world had ever seen (and their parents). Their sparking brains teemed with ideas which their active bodies were quick to carry out, and of course, every one of their multiplying ideas was combustible.
Not content to built forts out of blankets and chairs like most kiddies, these children invented ways to hang sheets from the ceiling and tie ropes to the chandeliers, creating a super fort that covered two levels of the house and could be navigated by swinging like monkeys from room to room.
Simple games such as Monopoly and Clue were too boring for this crew, so instead they combined all the boards and pieces into one massive new game with rules so complex that no one could keep them straight, and every round ended in a knock-down drag-out fight.
Soap on the floor for ice skating, leaping from the bannisters onto enormous piles of stuffed animals, Lego towers that reached to the ceiling and caused serious injury when toppled, massive science experiments that involved baking soda and vinegar filling the bathtub. The house trembled with the sounds of their shouts and laughter and glowed with the heat of their incessant activity.
With such constant friction inside, you can imagine that the house needed some form of release, and like any clever house it eventually found the perfect solution. Late at night, when the little power-houses were finally asleep in their beds, storing energy for the next adventure, the house opened up the chimney on its tippy top and sent up all the sparks and steam that had been gathering in its attics all day. No doubt the neighbors would have been quite alarmed if any of them had seen it, but they were so thankful that the round blue house was finally quiet that they were always fast asleep themselves, and if any passing strangers happened to notice the strange sight, they always imagined that someone was celebrating an important occasion with a particularly sparkly bonfire.
All was well, then, until the year of the terrible bitter winter. Temperatures all over the country reached unheard of lows. Mounds of snow piled up everywhere. People both old and young were forced to stay indoors, huddled around a fire and frantically boiling water for the gallons and gallons of hot tea necessary to survive. Except of course, for those who generated their own heat by the sheer force of their existence. For example, the occupants of the fire-cracker house, who scarcely noticed the cold outside their frosty windows, so busy were they with sparkling schemes of all sorts.
Such heat indoors while the world outside is frozen may seem like a tremendous blessing, and in many ways it was, but it also brought unforeseen problems. After a full day of brilliant, crackling, wall-bouncing activity, the little house was quite filled with sparks and smoke. It waited patiently for midnight as usual, but then, to its utter dismay, when it went to open its little chimney, it discovered that it was frozen quite solid. Several inches of ice covered over with a thick blanket of snow and wrapped in a world of frigid air were too much for the huffing, puffing little house. After a great struggle, it was forced to give up and settle down to a slow all-night simmer.
Several days passed in this fashion, the heat building by day and banking up by night. Slowly the house filled with the tension of pent up energy and unreleased heat. The air was thick with steam and the temperatures reached unbearable levels. At last, the pressure became simply too much. It started as a tremble, then a squeak, as tiny cracks around the ceiling began to let out bits of super-charged air. At last, with a terrific CRACK, the ice burst away as the entire cone of the roof burst away from the house and flew up into the air.
The column of steam could be seen for miles around, and no one can say exactly how high up the roof was blasted before it began its descent. The neighbors were all drawn to their frozen windows in awe as the steam spread out, melting snow in its path. As the first heat they had felt in weeks touched their own walls, the surrounding families breathed a collective sigh of relief. Then they all watched in fascination as the odd, round roof slowly drifted back down and settled into place.
The terrible bitter winter didn't relent, of course. Months of frozen bleakness still had to be endured. But now the whole neighborhood knew that every few days a new explosion of steam would come to break the monotony and remind them of what warmth felt like. And no one ever complained of the noise from the fire-cracker house again.
At least, not until the summer.

Among the jewels worn by Indian brides, Mangalsutras are perhaps the most important. Mangalsutra consists of two words: Mangal (auspicious) and Sutra (thread) symbolize the union of the bride and groom and their relationship as husband and wife. In northern India it is a necklace with black and gold pearls and a gold or diamond pendant (called Tanmaniya). They have a special meaning in Hindu weddings and rituals. Considered as one of the cleanhagya alankar mangalsutra, she is placed around a woman's neck, which gives her marital status.
Mangalsutras were initially part of the North Indian marriage traditions, which slowly migrated to other Indian cultures with their own Mangalsutras variations. Today there are different shapes, designs and styles.


2. In this lesson we are concentrating on the 7th characteristic: "faith."
I. LET US FIRST DEFINE "FAITH"
A. In the Bible, "faith" has several different shades of meaning.
B. "Faith" sometimes refers to belief and trust in God that is demonstrated by obedience to His will.
1. To illustrate, Abraham's faith led him to obey God's will (Hebrews 11:8).
2. According to Hebrews 11:6, this kind of faith is essential.
C. "Faith" sometimes refers to faithfulness [fidelity, reliability, and trustworthiness].
1. To illustrate, God is described as being faithful in 1 Corinthians 10:13.
2. According to 1 Corinthians 4:2, this kind of faith is also essential.
D. The "faith" that is part of the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22) is faithfulness.
A. (Matthew 10:22) "He that endureth to the end shall be saved."
3. the punishment of the 1-talent man (Matthew 25:29-30).
E. In addition to stressing the necessity of faithfulness, . . .
6. always remember that God is faithful (Psalm 119:90 -- "Thy faithfulness is unto all generations").
4. becoming lukewarm (Revelation 3:14-16).
3. Let us follow the instructions given in Hebrews 12:1-2a so we may remain faithful to God.

Program changes name to 'Main Street America' SANTA FE - Recently the National Main Street Center, Inc. launched a new brand and a refreshed methodology, according to a news release. Check out this story on scsun-news.com: https://scsun.co/1Yif8UF

These changes, including a new name for the Main Street network, "Main Street America," build on the critical role that Main Streets have played, and will continue to play in the return to the city movement sweeping urban areas and small towns all across the United States.
"For more than three decades, the 'Main Street Four-Point Approach' has helped communities identify their distinctive assets and capitalize on them to breathe new life into our country's historic downtowns and commercial districts," said Patrice Frey, president and CEO of the National Main Street Center, Inc.
A program of the New Mexico Economic Development Department, New Mexico MainStreet works throughout New Mexico to help affiliated local organizations create an economically viable business environment while preserving cultural and historic resources.
New Mexico MainStreet serves 27 affiliated MainStreet Districts, eight state-authorized Arts & Cultural Districts, 14 Frontier Communities, and six Historic Theater Initiatives.
New Mexico MainStreet, in conjunction with the Silver City MainStreet Project, is renovating the Silco Theater, which is expected to open later this month.
"This revised framework and fresh look will ensure that Main Streets are equipped to deal with new challenges facing downtowns and commercial districts today, and will help our network take advantage of the social, economic, and cultural changes that will continue to favor vibrant downtowns in the future," Frey said.
"The National MainStreet Center's refreshed Main Street Approach builds on more than 30 years of supporting downtown revitalization, technical assistance, research and advocacy," said Rich Williams, Director New Mexico MainStreet.
"The refreshed approach enables communities to establish transformation strategies for their Main Street activities, ensuring that they align with the economic development goals for their downtowns," Williams said.
New Mexico MainStreet has partnered with the National Main Street Center since 1985 to stimulate the revitalization of communities in New Mexico.
Thirty years of New Mexico MainStreet has supported 12,373 net new jobs, 3,440 net new businesses, 3415 building rehabilitations, and $292,218,586 in private reinvestments.
"The refreshed Main Street Approach will refine and support the important economic development work happening in our New Mexico MainStreet communities and ensure that communities can develop innovative economic development strategies that inform their revitalization work," said Daniel Gutierrez, Assistant Director, New Mexico MainStreet.

Uber Self-Driving Car Kills Pedestrian: Who's To Blame?
Uber has announced that they are suspending the testing of their self-driving vehicles after one of these cars killed a pedestrian this week. Now the company is facing both huge public backlash, and potentially devastating legal problems. Ring of Fire's Mike Papantonio and Peter Mougey discuss this.
Mike Papantonio:	Uber announced that they're suspending the testing of the self-driving vehicles after one of those cars killed a pedestrian this week. Now the company's facing both huge not only political backlash, public backlash, and potentially devastating legal problems. This case, to me, this is gonna open a complete door for reanalysis of something that we've taken for granted, what happens in an auto accident? Who's responsible. Here's what I'm saying. Somebody runs into the back of you, it may cause injury. You go after the driver because their clutch. They weren't paying attention. They hurt somebody in the vehicle. You have a personal injury suit. Here, you have a vehicle that's owned by Uber. I got that. You know you've got to pursue against Uber, but what if this vehicle's owned by an individual? The individual's not driving it, not in control of it. But the car nevertheless, we're looking at this five years from now, runs into somebody. Kills somebody. Is it a product defect case?
Peter Mougey:	It might be both.
Mike Papantonio:	It could be both.
Peter Mougey:	It might be dangerous instrumentality where the owner's responsible, and you've got a product case. It might end up being both. I'll tell you what. I think we need to let the facts develop on this case a little bit, because the lady that got hit walked outside of the crosswalk.
Mike Papantonio:	She walked outside of the crosswalk.
Peter Mougey:	Is it any different than if you were driving? Maybe you were driving.
Mike Papantonio:	If you're driving, you're gonna stop.
Mike Papantonio: I'm not throwing them under the bus. I'm just saying, is I look at the case and I figure out how weird this is gonna be in the future.
Mike Papantonio:	They're called autonomous vehicles.
Peter Mougey:	And actually with somebody behind the wheel. I'm not exactly sure what they were doing.
Mike Papantonio:	Exactly. It's autonomous vehicles.
Peter Mougey:	Were they eating pizza?
Mike Papantonio:	We don't know.
Peter Mougey:	They're driving. They're reading a book.
Mike Papantonio:	That's part of it. Here's where I'm headed with this. As time goes on, five years from now there's gonna have to be an analysis. Car runs into another car. The autonomous vehicle, who's responsible? Is the guy eating the pizza? He's in the passenger seat. Where is he? What is the responsibility? Now here's where it … Let me make a prediction, okay. Here's the prediction. All of these cats that are out there, 1-800-automobile-accident, give me a call. Fender bender, give me a call. These billboard lawyers, these lawyers are gonna be out of business because what's gonna happen is you're gonna have immunity. The government is going … In order for this, the autonomous vehicle thing to really take off, they're gonna have to have some kind of immunity protection. That's my prediction.
Mike Papantonio:	From a legal, I see the automobile working. I really do see the technology working.
Peter Mougey:	No, I can't see that we're gonna give these companies immunity in the legal system. If you have the money and the capability to run it, you're responsible for the vehicle, just like I am not if one of my kids gets in a car wreck.
Mike Papantonio:	Look, the Senate … This is a Congress that gave guns total immunity. You can't sue gun manufacturers for almost anything. I promise you. If this moves forward and they want to up the technology here, we're gonna see the auto industry giving … They're gonna be given immunity. And these people that are in the business of fender benders, I think they're gonna be out of business. At any rate, this case is one that Uber better pay attention to because the ramifications are broad, not just politically, but socially and legally in this case.
