Song Of Solomon 1:1 The song of songs, which is Solomon's.
Song Of Solomon 1:5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
Song Of Solomon 1:6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Song Of Solomon 1:8 If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
Song Of Solomon 1:10 Thy cheeks are comely with rows of jewels, thy neck with chains of gold.
Song Of Solomon 1:11 We will make thee borders of gold with studs of silver.
Song Of Solomon 1:13 A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; he shall lie all night betwixt my breasts.
Song Of Solomon 1:16 Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant: also our bed is green.
Song Of Solomon 1:17 The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir.
Song Of Solomon 2:8 The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.
Song Of Solomon 2:14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.
Song Of Solomon 2:16 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.
Song Of Solomon 3:7 Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.
Song Of Solomon 3:8 They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.
Song Of Solomon 3:9 King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.
Song Of Solomon 4:4 Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
Song Of Solomon 4:5 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
Song Of Solomon 4:9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
Song Of Solomon 5:1 I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.
Song Of Solomon 5:2 I sleep, but my heart waketh it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
Song Of Solomon 5:4 My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for him.
Song Of Solomon 5:5 I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.
Song Of Solomon 5:6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone my soul failed when he spake I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.
Song Of Solomon 5:7 The watchmen that went about the city found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.
Song Of Solomon 5:11 His head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.
Song Of Solomon 5:12 His eyes are as the eyes of doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and fitly set.
Song Of Solomon 5:13 His cheeks are as a bed of spices, as sweet flowers his lips like lilies, dropping sweet smelling myrrh.
Song Of Solomon 5:14 His hands are as gold rings set with the beryl his belly is as bright ivory overlaid with sapphires.
Song Of Solomon 5:15 His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold his countenance is as Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
Song Of Solomon 5:16 His mouth is most sweet yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
Song Of Solomon 6:3 I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine he feedeth among the lilies.
Song Of Solomon 6:5 Turn away thine eyes from me, for they have overcome me thy hair is as a flock of goats that appear from Gilead.
Song Of Solomon 6:6 Thy teeth are as a flock of sheep which go up from the washing, whereof every one beareth twins, and there is not one barren among them.
Song Of Solomon 6:9 My dove, my undefiled is but one; she is the only one of her mother, she is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and blessed her; yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.
Song Of Solomon 6:12 Or ever I was aware, my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.
Song Of Solomon 7:2 Thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor thy belly is like an heap of wheat set about with lilies.
Song Of Solomon 7:3 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
Song Of Solomon 7:4 Thy neck is as a tower of ivory; thine eyes like the fishpools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim thy nose is as the tower of Lebanon which looketh toward Damascus.
Song Of Solomon 7:5 Thine head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thine head like purple; the king is held in the galleries.
Song Of Solomon 7:10 I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
Song Of Solomon 7:11 Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; let us lodge in the villages.
Song Of Solomon 7:12 Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth there will I give thee my loves.
Song Of Solomon 8:2 I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
Song Of Solomon 8:3 His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
Song Of Solomon 8:5 Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree there thy mother brought thee forth there she brought thee forth that bare thee.
Song Of Solomon 8:6 Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
Song Of Solomon 8:7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
Song Of Solomon 8:8 We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
Song Of Solomon 8:9 If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
Song Of Solomon 8:10 I am a wall, and my breasts like towers then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
Song Of Solomon 8:11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.
Song Of Solomon 8:12 My vineyard, which is mine, is before me thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
Song Of Solomon 8:13 Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice cause me to hear it.
Song Of Solomon 8:14 Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.


Operating FastOx gasification in Lipscomb is a safe way to provide renewable energy without burning. It can power homes, fuel cars, and help eliminate waste and landfills all while earning revenue for the system owner. Here are some of the benefits of running a FastOx gasifier to remove waste in Lipscomb.
Gasification could eliminate 13,998 metric tons of CO2 equivalent each year. That's like taking 2,947 cars off the road.

Official launch of South African Renewable Energy Technology Centre
EnergyGreen TechnologyRegional NewsTop Stories
Paul Rogers | 26 November, 2018
The South African Renewable Energy Technology Centre (SARETEC), based Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), has officially launched.
The only centre of its kind in Africa, SARETEC trains wind turbine service technicians and solar photovoltaic (PV) technicians and is also mandated to train technicians in energy efficiency and biomass and biogas.
The SARETEC team took occupation of the building in mid-2015 but #FeesMustFall protests scuppered then Minister of Higher Education and Training, Blade Nzimande's plans to open the building, hence Minister of Higher Education and Training Naledi Pandor's planned visit to Bellville campus to launch SARETEC.
SARETEC Director Naim Rassool says they had no option but to commence their training work at the beginning of 2016 despite no official opening.
"We had to open our doors and start training because of the demands for skills in the renewable energy industry," said Rassool.
To date, they have indirectly trained 80 wind turbine technicians and more than 200 solar PV related trainees. SARETEC-trained solar PV installers are certified, and their names are on South African Photovoltaic Industry Association's database. They can issue a PV Green Card on an installation which is recognised by municipalities as an installation done by an electrician having the proper training.
The centre currently trains solar PV mounters and solar PV Installers being Module 1 and Module 2 of the solar PV qualification, respectively. Module 3 is being developed to train a solar PV service technician who can maintain, service and repair the solar PV systems installed on suburban rooftops. Module 4 will be to train a solar PV farm technician who can work on a much higher voltage of solar generated power. (A solar PV system on a home rooftop generates about 150 Kilowatts of power, a solar farm generates about 150 Megawatts of power.)
The Western Cape Government, through the Apprentice Skills Game Changer programme, is helping to develop Modules 3 and 4 and the material for Module 3 should be ready to pilot in the second half of 2019.
In terms of renewable energy, the projected plan is that government wants 11.4 Gigawatts of national electricity to be generated by wind turbines and 8 Gigawatts from solar energy by 2030. Currently it stands at 2 Gigawatts from wind turbines and 1.7 Gigawatts from solar PV power.
"All indications are that SARETEC is going to be a real strategic asset for the country in order to ensure that we provide the right skills for the massive wave of installed renewable energy that is coming," said Rassool.

These black and yellow donuts are great for bumblebee or wasp themed treats! They are perfect for Ant-Man and The Wasp or Winnie the Pooh parties!
I'm super excited about Ant-Man and The Wasp coming out and I wanted to share a fun recipe with you guys. Much like The Incredibles Donuts, these donuts are super easy to make and just a fun treat that you can make together.
Divide your batter into three bowls and leave one uncolored and the other two colored yellow and black. Add a spoonful at a time to the donut pan to create the wasp pattern.
Don't fully blend your icing together. You want it to create a marbled pattern. Then you can add some ant sprinkles to give it an added Ant-Man and The Wasp theme!
Add several drops of Yellow food coloring in the first bowl.
Add several drops of Black food coloring in the first bowl.
Spoon equal amounts of the 3 batters into the doughnut pan.
Allow donuts to cool a few minutes in the pan.
Split the icing into 2 bowls.
Add the yellow food coloring to one of the bowls.
Gradually pour the yellow icing into the white icing.

Amina J. Mohammed, UN Deputy Secretary-General, Olga Algayerova, Executive Secretary of UNECE and Malgorzata Golińska, Secretary of State of the Polish Ministry of Environment celebrated the International Day of Forests on 21 March 2019 at the Palais des Nations, Geneva, under the theme Learn to Love Forests with a forest food breakfast and handicraft workshops from the State Forests of Poland, a long-time partner of the UNECE on forest work, and toured the "Paper Cave".
The UN Deputy Secretary-General received an ecosystem in a jar from Malgorzata Golińska. "We thought of distributing small forest ecosystems in a jar today to remind people of the many functions that forests have in our lives, from water purification to providing sustainable materials", said Malgorzata Golińska.
"Understanding our forests and keeping them healthy is crucial for our future. Forests have a vital role to play", explained Olga Algayerova. "Yet, increasingly, people around the world become detached from forests, living and working in cities, and forgetting about the importance of forests and trees for our wellbeing and the wellbeing of the planet", she continued.
The Paper Cave exhibition showcases innovative wood-derived products of the future: printed electronics on a greeting card, cutlery from wooden fibers which can be recycled up to 7 times, a ventilation system for airplanes which is made out of cardboard, stronger than spider silk biobased material which consists of nanosized cellulose fibres and innovative packaging materials made from post-consumer waste such as used coffee cups.
These products of the future can help to address major challenges society faces such as raw materials depletion, climate change, and plastic pollution.
This can support the shift to the circular economy, helping to create a system minimizing pollution and waste, prolonging product-life and materials cycles, and regenerating natural resources – driving progress on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 on sustainable production and consumption, also contributing to SDGs in several other areas.

Alan Jackson Looked At The Depths of True Love With "I'll Go on Loving You"
Country music legend Alan Jackson broke some healing hearts when he released his ballad "I'll Go On Loving You" back in 1998 as the lead single off his album High Mileage. The song with rich, guitar-based instrumentals with a hint of percussion peaked at No. 3 in the United States, and No. 2 in Canada.
Alan Jackson's More Sensual Performances Of All Time
Written by Kieran Kane, "I'll Go on Loving You" is a romantic, musical expression of Alan Jackson's never-ending love for a woman and his promises that he will be faithful, "long after the pleasures of the flesh."
"When I look into your soft green eyes, when I see your delicate body revealed to me as you slip off your dress – I'm reminded that what I feel for you will remain strong and true, long after the pleasures of the flesh. And I'll go on loving you," the song begins. The man in the song intends to still love his woman even after any intimate moments between them, contradicting the thought that he is just lusting after the woman.
Indeed, "I'll Go On Loving You" was one of Jackson's more sensual performances of all time – a little bit of a stretch from the usual type of material that he was known for. Alanna Nash of Entertainment Weekly even once described the classic song as "the frankest treatment of lust on country radio," "a colossal embarrassment," and "a memorable romantic declaration."
Another aspect of this song that set it apart was when Jackson started the track reciting the verses instead of singing them. And much to everyone's surprise, an even bigger step outside his country borders was a second, Portuguese version of the track, "Vou Seguir Te Amando," with música sertaneja artist Leonardo of Leandro e Leonardo in 1999.
Its Unique Music Video Made The Song Even More Special
The music video for "I'll Go On Loving You" made the song even more special. Directed by Steven Goldmann, the short clip was filmed in sepia tone. It featured various underwater dancing shots followed by various shots of Jackson and a string band performing the song during a water ballet performance. Jackson then disappeared in the end.
"I'll Go On Loving You" is definitely a timeless song you'd want you to enjoy! Check out Alan Jackson's poignant performance below.

We have been breeding Simmental cattle since 1970, with our first half-blood calves on the ground that year out of Petunia. We have been upgrading, through A.I., from this foundation, progressing through Galant, Signal, and what we considered the top bulls available each generation.
We have always tried to breed "Cattle for the Real World", and have practiced Total Herd Reporting and 100% Performance Testing for the entire 46 years of our existence. Our breeding program has focused on reasonable birth weights, excellent mothering ability, fast growth, and superior carcasses. We have tried to keep a 6 to 7 frame size in our cattle. The market has demanded solid colored Simmentals and we have been working towards both red and black.

Watching. Pointing. Laughing.
Systematic desensitisation
February 10th, 2006 by Monitor in censorship
Protesters in Beirut have added their voices to demands for change in European law which would forbid depictions of Mohammed. The Muslim Action Committee have already demanded an amendment to the Race Relations Act which would do the same thing.
Obviously, such legislation is out of the question. If one religious taboo is given special protection by law, then why not others? Christians will insist the Blasphemy law be strengthened. Scientologist will want to make it illegal to disrespect L Ron Hubbard. Elvis fans might want Elvis impersonators outlawed.
Let's be frank here. Say someone sketches a picture of a bearded bloke with a fuse in his turban. If he labels that sketch "Dave", it's unlikely to provoke much response in anyone. But if he labels it "Mohammed", and looking at that sketch suddenly causes you inconsolable grief, or sends you into a murderous rage, it seems reasonable to conclude that you need help.
This help could take one of two forms. Either you are protected from seeing any such image again, or we work on changing your response to such images. The former is impossible, but fortunately there is a real possibility of implementing the latter.
There is a technique in cognitive-behavioural therapy called systematic desensitisation. Unlike other psychological therapies of the Freudian or Jungian schools, this technique is evidence-based, and actually seems to work.
To begin the process of systematic desensitization, one must first be taught relaxation skills in order to control fear and anxiety responses to specific phobias. Once the individual has been taught these skills, he or she must use them to react towards and overcome situations in an established hierarchy of fears.
So rather than go down the repressive and censorious legislation route, the European press should take the healthy option and help that small-but-vocal number of Muslims who are suffering from this disorder by publishing Mohammed cartoons every day of the week. Start with small and respectful depictions, and over the months work up to outrageous bomb-headed caricatures. By the end of the year, hey presto! The only murderous nut cases demanding the heads of cartoonists will be the ones who don't read the papers.
"Muslim Action Committee" calls for special privilege
February 9th, 2006 by Monitor in censorship
Demands for Islam to be afforded special legal protection continue to grow, with the latest news that a group calling itself the "Muslim Action Committee" is calling for a change in the Race Relations Act and the Press Complaints Commission code to prohibit depictions of the prophet Mohammed.
They claim that this will give Muslims the same protection as Sikhs and Jews. But as neither Sikhism nor Judaism have any protection under the law, it's hard to see what the hell they mean by that. Christianity is protected by the Blasphemy law – but that is completely toothless, and serves only as a cash-drain for idiotic zealots daft enough to try to get a prosecution under it.
Another question that needs to be raised more often: how on earth do you know that any particular picture of Mohammed is indeed a picture of Mohammed? Listen to Ophelia Benson at Butterflies and Wheels:
Really – why do all the offended people accept that the cartoons are of Mohammed? Because a bunch of non-Muslim Danish cartoonists say they are? But how would they know? And what are they, magic? They can transform a drawing of some generic bearded guy in a turban into a representation of a specific person who died fourteen centuries ago? How? By saying so, by writing his name underneath, by the context of the jokes. But that still doesn't make the cartoons cartoons of the actual Mohammed – not for people who just don't accept that that's what they are. Why don't all the infuriated Muslims just laugh and shrug and ignore the whole thing? Why don't they just say 'those goofy Danish cartoonists, pretending they've drawn pictures of Mohammed – like they have any idea what he looked like. I'm so sure'? Why don't they just say 'you guys don't know what Mohammed looked like any more than we do, and probably less (because we have this like inner intuition, which is denied to non-Muslims), so dream on – draw your stupid little pictures if you want to, we don't care, it's nothing to do with us'?
Actually the whole taboo is empty, it's a taboo without a referent. It's like a taboo on walking on water, or a taboo on sleeping on the wing of a jet plane when it's in flight. Nobody can make a representation of Mohammed, it's quite, quite impossible – so why worry about it? Just making representations of a man and naming them Mohammed doesn't make them Mohammed – so why on earth worry about it?
BTW, and Egyptian paper apparently published them back in October – and nobody batted an eyelid at the time.

Toon hoax exposed
American blog Neandernews has discoverd the source of one of the three "extra" cartoons distributed by Danish imams in their successful attempt to stir up outrage in the Middle East.
The image on the left was one of the three added by the imams, allegedly showing Mohammed as a pig. It is actually a grainy photocopy of the image on the right, which is a photo of Jacques Barrot, a contestant at the French Pig-Squealing Championships in August 2005.
Maybe the Danish imams should enter a team for this year's championship?
(Tipped from Brussels Journal)
New York – 0, Moscow – 1
Editorial staff at the New York Press have resigned because they were not allowed to publish the Mohammed cartoons.
More at Harry's Place.
Meanwhile a museum in Moscow has announced that it will exhibit all 12 of the Mo toons. Yuri Samodurov, director of the Sakharov Museum and Pulic centre, said:
We must show the whole world that Russia goes along with Europe, that the freedom of expression is much more important for us than the dogmas of religious fanatics
A couple of questions for the Danish imams who kicked up all the fuss, and for the Saudis who made it go global:
– Have your actions improved the image of Islam worldwide, or tarnished it?
– As a result of your actions, are there now fewer disrespectful images of your prophet in the world, or more?
Marching for special treatment
Thousands of Muslims are expected to attend a rally this weekend. According to Iqbal Sacranie of the MCB, the purpose of this rally is twofold:
1) To demand that Islam be treated with a higher degree of respect than any other religion. In particular, that one of its taboos – that its prophet must not be depicted pictorially – should apply not only to good Muslims, but also to everyone else in the world.
2) To condemn those Muslims who make this demand too shrilly and violently.
We're just as touchy, claim Springer campaigners
The anti JS:TO campaign turned out in force last night at Birmingham's Hippodrome. About 60 tambourine bashing leafleters turned up – twice the number that attended the opening in Plymouth.
Inevitable comparisons with Muslim toon rage arose. Nigel Powell, of Hurst Green Family Church in Halesowen, said:
It is the same sort of thing – the Muslims are offended by what was in the Danish newspaper and we are deeply offended by what is taking place here.
"One of the Muslim spokesmen actually made a comment that they were the only religion in the world left that really cares about their God – they said even Christians are happy to let the Life of Brian and Jerry Springer – the Opera take place without any protest. Well we do care and there has been a lot of protests. We love Jesus with a passion and we find this deeply offensive.
This "loving" of semi-mythical dead prophets "with a passion" does seem to cause a few problems, doesn't it?
Cardiff student paper publishes cartoons
At the foot of the Omar Khayam article comes the news that the Cardiff University student newspaper published the cartoons and then apologised for it. Gair rhydd ("free word" in Welsh) won the Guardian's Student Newspaper and Magazine of the Year award in 2005. Now its editor and two of its writers have been suspended. Its website is down at the time of writing.
UPDATE: The BBC now reports that the magazine has been withdrawn and pulped, although about 200 are thought to remain in circulation. The same report says
It is thought Cardiff University's student union paper Gair Rhydd is the first UK publication to use the image which has caused global protests.
Actually, The Freethinker, the UK's secular humanist monthly, published two of the cartoons back in November (the fizzy-bomb-head one was on the front page). But this year's Hajj trajedy hadn't occurred by then, and the Saudis hadn't yet felt the need to kick up a distracting stink.
Cartoon revenge
Yes, I know. It's still going on and it's getting a bit boring, but this latest idea of cartoon revenge is quite funny.
First, the Arab European League decide to test the boundaries of free expression by publishing a few anti-semitic and holocaust-denying cartoons on their website. And now Iranian newspaper, Hamshahiri, is holding a holocaust-denying cartoon competition.
While these cartoons will undoubtedly be hurtful to many Jewish people – just as the Mohammed cartoons were hurtful to many Muslims – it will be interesting to see how many death threats the AEL will receive, and how many Iranian embassies are torched as a result.
Suicide dress-up boy says sorry
Omar Khayam, the former smack dealer turned cartoon protester who committed a fancy-dress faux pas at the Danish embassy, has said he is sorry, and hopes that will be the end of the matter.
But the police are still investigating him and a prosecution may yet follow. Didn't know there was a law against making a twat of yourself in public.
However, there is a law against incitement to murder, which some of his fellow demonstrators broke. They should get the book thrown at them.
UPDATE: Omar is back in jail for breaching his parole.
Stones get Super-Bowled
As a bit of light relief from murderous Mo toon temper tantrums, let us turn our gaze across the Atlantic where the Rolling Stones are considered too fruity for the sensitive ears of your average American football fan.
According to the BBC. the Stones played three songs during their half-time performance, two of which were censored. Start Me Up and Rough Justice both received the blue pencil treatment, but (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction remained untouched.
Presumably the Start Me Up line that caused faint hearts to flutter was
You'd make a dead man come
As to Rough Justice, it's a toss up between
Once upon a time I was your little rooster
But am I just one of your cocks
So put your lips to my hips, baby
And tell me what's on your mind
Maybe next year they'll invite Iggy Pop?

The average person probably never realized that Santa does so much. Manneco has Santa carrying a gift bag, fishing with his elves, flying a helicopter, barnstorming in a biplane, tossing his sombrero onto a cactus, riding a salmon or riding in a firetruck. Santa waves, he reads the newspaper and of course - Santa rides in his sleigh behind his reindeer. What's Christmas without Santa? Manneco's Santas can do about anything! Many of our designs are now available with aluminum frames! Save weight and forget about rust!!!

China turning World Cup into George Orwell's 1984
Croatia send Canada out of the World Cup
Morocco looks potent in 2-0 win over Belgium
by Deolu Akingbade November 27, 2022 EST
Morocco's surprising win over Belgium was not the biggest upset of the World Cup. In fact, it might not even be the biggest upset of the day.
Yet, it figures to be one of the biggest upsets in Morocco history. It may also be one of the most influential ones as well.
Morocco's two second-half goals may become the Atlas Lions' main catalyst for a deep run into the later rounds of the World Cup.
Not only did they show its might in front of a frenzied Doha crowd and send a message to the rest of the world, but they showed their attack was not stagnant(unlike some other African nations). Their win showed the talent they have and the deep run they can make as a date with Canada looms.
Ziyech leads Morocco to victory
No one expected Morocco to give Belgium a hard time; much less beat them. However, that was what they did early in the first half. Despite the looming threat of Belgium's infamous counter-attacks, Morocco still got chances early.
Achraf Hakimi blasted a shot narrowly over Thibaut Courtois and the cross bar, and Ziyech nearly scored a great free-kick before a VAR intervention. But there was still definite belief that Morocco could break through and score among some hopeful fans.
And finally, Morocco scored the game's first goal. After Thomas Meunier fouled a Moroccan defender in the left flank, Abdelhamid Sarid belted a smooth free-kick into the bottom left corner, catching Courtois off his line and giving Morocco a big advantage.
Belgium's chances to equalize grew as the clocked clicked to the 90th minute. Jan Vertonghen nearly scored with a strong header, but his attempt fell just left of the target. With time running out, Belgium decided to fling the midfield towards the box, which ended disastrously.
Munir took advantage of Belgium's high lines and hit a big goal kick to Ziyech, who threw the defenders out of place.
The Chelsea winger slid the ball to Zakaria Aboukhlal, who placed his screamer of a shot just out of reach for Courtois to double Morocco's lead. Morocco 2, Belgium 0.
Munir saves the day
Morocco would likely be down 3-0 if not for the Herculean efforts of Al-Wehda keeper Munir. He had a number of good saves to keep Belgium off the scoresheet, including monstrous saves against Eden Hazard and Michy Batshuayi.
His performance was marred by an unfortunate mix-up just seconds before the match started. Yassine Bounou, Sevilla star and usual starting keeper was spotted singing the national anthem and shaking hands with Belgium. Yet when the game started, it took BBC commentators 38 minutes to figure out Bono wasn't in goal.
It took many by surprise, especially TV analysts who falsely given Bono credit for Munir's incredible saves. Officials confirmed Bono had an eye problem just seconds before the match started and had to leave to the match.
If Bono cannot make it for Morocco's group stage finale against Canada, Munir proved himself to be an above-average replacement. His crucial saves kept Morocco in the match, and his big goal kick gave Morocco its last goal to kill the game.
Morocco's wing play leaves out En-Nesyri
For much of the match, Youssef En-Nesyri was on an island. No matter how many runs he made, how far he dropped back in the midfield, or even if he was open in the box; En-Nesyri could seem to get the ball.
He only had just 12 touches in 73 minutes, nearly a fifth of Ziyech's total touches. Morocco's winger-oriented offense left En-Nesyri without the ball. Although it worked, the Sevilla striker was not a big reason why it did.
It's been a trend for En-Nesyri. He only had 21 touches in 81 minutes against Croatia, and just 13 touches in 67 minutes against Chile. He did score against Georgia, but it may have been because Ziyech was forced into a playmaking role in Morocco's 3-4-3.
En-Nesyri got frustrated. Early in the second half, he tried linking up on runs with Ziyech and Sofiane Boufal, but didn't get the ball a lot. He made wild gestures and big sighs when he could not make an impact on offense.
When Abderrazak Hamdallah replaced him in the 73rd minute, he looked less than please. Canada's strong center-backs could frustrate him even more if Morocco looks towards the wings for inspiration.

Significant causes of major workers' compensation claims | Schoenfeld & Schoenfeld, P.C.
The vast majority of these catastrophic injuries can be grouped into one of five causes. The top two injuries are car accidents and falls, with each of them accounting for 24 percent of catastrophic injuries.
Many Oregonians have to drive as part of their job, and many others have to work from significant heights on a daily basis. With respect to falls, though, it is important to remember that a fall not need not be from a significant height in order to be serious. Many catastrophic workers' compensation claims have stemmed from someone like an office worker or school teacher just falling and being unlucky enough to land in just the wrong way.
Other common causes of catastrophic injuries include getting burned or getting hit by a sharp, heavy, or fast-moving object, including a car or another vehicle. One out of ten catastrophic injuries happen because of criminal activity. Lest this conjures up images of workplace violence, however, it is important to note that most crime-related injuries have police officers as victims.
The interesting thing about this list is that many of these catastrophic injuries involve a third party, such as a negligent driver or careless property owner. What this means is that in many cases, and as this blog has discussed previously, third party liability may be another means an injured worker can recover additional damages.

Kavanaugh: 'A good judge must be an umpire'
By: CNN Wire
By Betsy Klein and Abby Phillip, CNN
Judge Brett Kavanaugh, in his first major test as a Supreme Court nominee on Capitol Hill, is expected to tell members of the Senate Judiciary Committee that he is a "pro-law judge" at his confirmation hearing Tuesday.
"A good judge must be an umpire—a neutral and impartial arbiter who favors no litigant or policy," he will say, according to excerpts of his prepared remarks. "I don't decide cases based on personal or policy preferences. I am not a pro-plaintiff or pro-defendant judge. I am not a pro-prosecution or pro-defense judge. I am a pro-law judge."
Likening a judge to an umpire could be a reference to Chief Justice John Roberts' confirmation hearing back in 2005, when he said his "job is to call balls and strikes and not to pitch or bat."
President Donald Trump's second Supreme Court nominee is poised to succeed swing vote Justice Anthony Kennedy, the conservative-centrist who joined with liberals in some key decisions to uphold abortion rights. Kennedy was also the decisive vote for same-sex marriage and university affirmative action.
"To me, Justice Kennedy is a mentor, a friend, and a hero. As a Member of the Court, he was a model of civility and collegiality. He fiercely defended the independence of the Judiciary. And he was a champion of liberty," Kavanaugh will say, per the excerpts.
Kavanaugh, currently a circuit judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, will also praise his colleague Judge Merrick Garland, President Barack Obama's unsuccessful Supreme Court nominee.
"I have served with 17 other judges, each of them a colleague and a friend, on a court now led by our superb chief judge, Merrick Garland," the prepared remarks say.
Controversy over documents
Ahead of Tuesday's hearing, the first of a week of confirmation hearings for the nominee, committee Democrats criticized the Trump administration for holding back documents related to Kavanaugh's service in the George W. Bush White House. The administration held back more than 100,000 pages of documents related to his service because the White House and the Department of Justice have determined they are protected by constitutional privilege, according to a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
On the eve of the hearing Monday night, the Senate was given an additional 42,000 pages of documents, prompting criticism from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, a Republican, tweeted that his staff completed the review of "each and every one of these pages."
Grassley is planning to talk broadly about the role of a judge and Kavanaugh's qualifications during his opening remarks, a source familiar with the remarks told CNN. But Grassley will take significant time in his opening to explain the document process and to defend it.
Noting that Kavanaugh has more than 300 opinions and submitted around 17,000 pages with his committee questionnaire, Grassley is likely to stress that he's released thousands of pages and that he's only asked for non-privileged documents and that Democratic requests for every document would have taken months to complete.
A White House official said that Trump aides believe Democrats have made a strategic mistake by focusing on document production, an issue they believe has left Kavanaugh unscathed but has left Democratic lawmakers looking like they are fixated on a bureaucratic dispute.
Going into Tuesday's hearing, White House aides believe their nominee's task of introducing himself to the country hasn't been made more difficult in the weeks leading up to this hearing. Kavanaugh will have an opportunity to introduce himself and his approach to the bench in his own words.
Kavanaugh has been prepping intensively in recent weeks but he held his last, full-day mock hearing last Monday, the White House aide said. Since then, he's been doing mini-debate prep sessions at his home or in his chamber.
Some of the sessions have focused on making sure that he is comfortable "with people shouting him down" or being heckled by protesters.
"This isn't his first rodeo," said the official, who acknowledged that Kavanaugh has been a judge for 12 years and judges don't often get interrupted or stopped mid-sentence. So advisers have put in a lot of time priming him for what is likely to be a contentious hearing.

Marcus Højriis Ingvartsen (born 4 January 1996) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as a forward for Bundesliga club Mainz 05 and the Denmark national team.

Club career

Nordsjælland
Ingvartsen started his career in his native Denmark for Superliga and hometown side FC Nordsjælland. He finished the 2016–17 Danish Superliga season as the top scorer in the league with 23 league goals; finishing 3 goals ahead of second player on the list, Teemu Pukki. Ingvartsen also won the Young Players of the Year award for that season, as a result of his impressive league performances. He also won the league's player of the month award for both November and April during the season. He went on to score 30 goals in 76 matches for Nordsjælland.

Genk
After his standout season, Belgian club Genk signed Ingvartsen during the summer of 2017. Ingvartsen started his first season with Genk with a few late substitute appearances for them. But in his first full game for Genk, Ingvartsen scored twice against Eupen to earn Genk a 3–3 draw. Ingvartsen scored again in Genk's next league game against Mouscron. Ingvartsen scored more league goals against Kortrijk and Oostende, before suffering a serious knee injury in early 2018 which ended his season. Before his injury, Ingvartsen had played a key role in getting Genk to the final of the Belgian Cup. He equalised against Mechelen in the seventh minute to earn a 1–1 draw and he scored again when the game went to a penalty shoot out, which Genk won. Ingvartsen scored again in Genk's quarter-final penalty shootout win over Waasland-Beveren. In Genk's semi-final match against Kortrijk, Ingvartsen scored the opening goal of the match, which helped Genk reach the final. Genk lost 1–0 to Standard Liège in the final of the Belgian Cup on 17 March 2018.

Ingvartsen was injured at the start of the 2018–19 season and missed the early part of the league campaign. When he returned from injury, he helped Genk win the Belgian First Division league title.

Union Berlin
In June 2019, Ingvartsen signed for newly promoted Bundesliga side Union Berlin on a three-year deal. He made his debut for the club on 11 August in the 0–6 away win over VfB Germania Halberstadt in the second round of the DFB-Pokal.

Mainz 05
On 30 August 2021, after the third matchday of the 2021–22 Bundesliga season, Ingvartsen was sent on loan to league rivals Mainz 05 with a purchase option until the end of the season. In his debut on 11 September, he scored the 2–0 goal in the away game at Hoffenheim one minute after being substituted on. During his loan period with Mainz, Ingvartsen contributed with 6 goals in 664 minutes of playing time in the league.

On 17 May 2022, Mainz made the transfer permanent and Ingvartsen signed a contract until 2025.

International career
Ingvartsen is the all-time leading goalscorer for the Danish U21 national team. He surpassed Peter Møller on the all-time list to reach 17 goals thanks to his goal against the England U-21 national team.

He was called up to the senior Denmark squad in March 2021. He made his debut on 28 March 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Moldova and scored the last goal in a 8–0 victory.

Woodridge gym will open Dec. 7

Personal trainer and Woodridge resident Larry Carroll, Sr. is putting the finishing touches on a gym set to open December 7.
Located at 2304 Rhode Island Ave. NE, the KAAOS Gym and Athletic Training Center will offer customized fitness plans and programs for just about everybody - including the 70-something grandma trying to develop more stamina to keep up with grandchildren to the teenager who wants to make the varsity football team. At KAAOS, Carroll will offer group classes, sport-specific training and personal training sessions.
Carroll, 45, a father/stepfather of eight and grandfather to seven, described to Elevation DC his approach to improving clients' physical fitness, which is reflected in the name of his new gym.
"When I train my clients, they don't always see the pattern in the exercises I am giving them," he said. "They sometimes think they're all over the place. But when they are able to finish the marathon," or even meet a more modest goal, like carrying their own groceries, Carroll's directions suddenly make sense. (The name is also a tip of the hat to a 2008 film he liked, Chaos Theory, starring Ryan Reynolds.)
He's taught and trained for decades through his personal training business, Larry's World of Fitness, and also at a range of federal agencies, from the Department of Education (whose fitness center he currently runs, and where his wife is an attorney) to the General Accounting Office and the Department of Transportation. He's also done training and fitness consultation with the staff at the Inter-American Development Bank.
But opening his own shop? That's a whole new thing for the seasoned Carroll, a member of the American Council on Exercise.
"The painting and the mat and equipment [installation] is all done," he says. Once KAAOS clears inspection, the path is cleared for opening day.

Fifty+ under 50: Innovative leaders transforming metro DC�s food system


It is now Friday morning! My parents, sisters and their husbands wanted to go to the Zoo, Jared and I on the other hand did not. So my parents willingly took the girls with them to the zoo. The girls had a fun time, while Jared and I went shopping to get food for the trip home and we ran a couple of more errands. It was actually a nice quiet time for us. We sent the girls to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo with the camera so that they could take pictures of their trip.
The Moose that they saw!
A Bear that they saw!
The girls cousin Brody! My sister Elena's son!
Needless to say, the girls had a fun time at the Zoo with Grandma and Grandpa, but they didn't take very many pictures.
That night Jared and I went and met up with some friends of ours, and had a wonderful time catching up.
On Saturday we headed over to Widefield High School, where Jared and I both attended HS, one of the reasons we went to CO this summer was for Jared's 20 year reunion. OMGoodness, am I really that old? Of course the other was to spend time with all of our family. So, back to the reunion, they planned a picnic lunch at the HS, we had alot of fun showing the girls around the halls, and showing them were some of our classes were. The funny thing for us was that some of the areas were closed for asbestos removal. They were removing asbestos while we were in HS and after 20 years they are still working on it. The HS isn't that big. Oh, Well! One of our memories of HS is the big gladiator that is the HS mascot, and is huge, and stands in front of the school, so we took the girls over to him to get their pictures taken.
That night we went to a restaurant for the official part of Jared's HS Reunion. We had a nice time catching up even more. Jared is glad that he decided to go to his reunion. I am still debating whether or not to go next year to mine.
We truly had a wonderful trip, and enjoyed spending time with our family. One of my favorite parts of the trip is when we got to meet Brody for the first time, I thought that he would be shy and cling to his parents, but boy was I wrong, he is a big flirt, I put out my arms and he walked right up to me. One of the funniest parts of the trip was when the girls were trying to teach their Uncle Mike how to "Skin a Cat". When Sunday rolled around we were glad to be heading home. Our drive home was real quiet, because we were minus 2 girls, Breanna and Amber had the opportunity to stay and extra week and Uncle Justin brought them home August 2nd. They had a fun time, but they were ready to come home. Hope you enjoyed our many post about our fun vacation to CO!
Well, it is Wednesday night and we are at my parents home now. We truly had a fun time visiting with everyone, but we have decided that we will do things differently the next time we come to CO. When we left John's home it was right at the beginning of rush hour traffic. What were we thinking? Jared was really tired, the girls were really tired, I was really tired. It took us 1 hour to drive through Denver, this had to have been the longest ride from Denver to Colorado Springs I have ever taken. Needless to say we just rested when we got to my parents home.
On Thursday morning we went to Rock Ledge Ranch, when I was growing up it used to be called White House Ranch. The girls had a fun time learning about the family that lived there, and looking at the first home that they had, then the second, then the third and how they gained more amenities every time they built a home.
Candace helping cut wood the old fashioned way!
Breanna with her cousin Mallory!
Jodi with her cousin Tayloranne!
For dinner my parents made reservations at one of the coolest places I have ever been. If you are a cowboy or a cowboy at heart you have to check this place out. We went to The Flying W Ranch. This is a working cattle ranch, and they have a small part of their ranch set up as a small western town. You can go and tour the town, they have places like a school, a library, a drug store where you can get old fashioned candy, you can watch them shoe horses, but the best part is they feed you a real chuck wagon dinner, and then after dinner you get a show, the Flying W Wranglers sing for us.
Jared with his girls and Tayloranne and Mallory(cousins)! He bought himself a cowboy had, and all the girls a cowgirl hat. I can't wait until October when it is cooler to get our family pictures done...I have got such a cute idea for matching clothes to go along with all of the hats.
This is all I have time for today! I will finish our trip in the next post!
After we got home from the Butterfly Pavilion, we decided to hang out and rest at John's home. Now, I am sure you are asking yourselves, "Did they really rest?", I can totally understand this question...because we haven't rested at all since our vacation started. Well, the answer is no, we did not rest. Jared came across a dart gun and decided that all of the children needed one. So off to the store he and John went and came home with some wicked dart guns. The men and the children played non-stop for almost 3 hours. We didn't get very many pictures of this, because it was hard, they kept running around for some reason.
Jodi with a semi-auto dart gun!
Amber with her sniper riffle dart gun!
That night after we got the children into bed the adults played "Hand and Foot" until about 1 in the morning. Boy were we tired the next day. While the parents were tired, the children wanted to play some more so we took them to a really nice park. In the afternoon we let the kids play in the water, until it was time for us to head down to my parents home.
Breanna and Jodi racing down the slip n slides.
I think this was tied!
Candace and Morgan hanging out in the Kiddie pool!
After our fun trip to Graffiti Falls, we headed back to Justin's home, there we ate dinner and washed all of our wet clothes. We then headed up to visit Jared's brother John and his family who live in Thornton, CO (north of Denver).
The first day that we were there we went to the Butterfly Pavilion. If you are ever in the Denver area you should go here. I learned more about bugs and butterflies than I ever thought that I would. We, oh wait let me rephrase this, some of us were very lucky to be able to hold their pet tarantula Rosie. I was one of the fortunate ones who did not get to hold Rosie (let me add that I was glad). Our daughter Amber after having held Rosie, was grossing out quite a bit. She would not do anything with her hand and arm that touched the beautiful big spider, she actually held her arm away from her body. I finally asked her if she was ok, she then proceeded to tell me that she needed to wash the spider off of her hand, I was secretly laughing. Here are some pictures of the girls and their cousins. When I am finally done posting about our whole trip I will make a collage of some sort with all of the pictures from our wonderful trip.
A Butterfly had landed on Jared's back!
A Butterfly had landed on Amber's shoulder!
While at the Butterfly Pavilion they had an exhibit there where the children could feel like they were the size of bugs. Yea! So here are some pictures of that exhibit.

Help - Triggers
Iur December 17, 2021, 12:34pm #1
Hello, i have this problem:
The ride promoter cannot make requests to his/her ride repetitions, i.e., the user in the
request (ID_USER) cannot be the same that is referenced by the ride being requested
(car owner). Also, the request must occur before the repetition date. (INSERT/UPDATE)
I need to create a trigger, but i'm not sure what type of trigger i need to crea.t
These are the columns:
Anyone have any tip?
RogierPronk December 17, 2021, 3:22pm #2
My tip is: don't use triggers
I really think the requirements that are given shouldn't be in the database but it the app that is using the database.
If you really want triggers then you are writting down the answer your self:
1: The ride promoter cannot make (=BEFORE INSERT TRIGGER) requests to his/her ride repetitions, i.e., the user in the
(car owner)
2: Also, the request must occur before the repetition date. (BEFORE INSERT TRIGGER / BEFORE UPDATE TRIGGER)
How to create a trigger?
CREATE TRIGGER (Transact-SQL) - SQL Server | Microsoft Docs
Why you shouldn't:
JeffModen January 1, 2022, 3:30am #3
@RogierPronk
Ok... so let's say that you convinced the OP to not use a trigger. What then? How would YOU solve the problem without one? And, remember... putting the logic in the APP may not be in the cards and certainly wouldn't prevent direct entries in the database by someone using a little T-SQL to "make a change".
RogierPronk January 2, 2022, 9:04am #4
In your situation triggers will be needed. The question is where to put the business logic? I really think that the app should do this kind of validations as an opportunity to the user to correct the data and try again. But maybe the siuation is to complex and it most be done on database level.
As Iur asked for a tip I shared my thoughts about it besides answering his question of what type to use.
JeffModen January 2, 2022, 3:39pm #5
I'm not a front-end Developer and so I have a favor to ask...
If you do know of a way to enforce this business rule quickly on the webserver or even on the client side, then as a non-frontend programmer, I'd sure like to know what the functional flow on that would look like so that I could actually recommend such a thing to get that kind of front-end business logic out of triggers and off the database.
To be sure, I'm not being ironic here... I'd really love to know because this type of thing seems to come up a lot. If you don't have the time, I totally get that. Either way, can you take a quick look at my thoughts below, please, and let me know if I'm off base in my thinking or not? Again, I'm not a front-end Developer and I'd really like to get the skinny from someone that is. Thank you for your time.
Here's my probably incorrect thinking about this and why the trigger seems (to me) to be a necessary evil here...
I'm thinking this isn't a nice simple little business rule that can be calmly and quietly enforced by the App. I'm thinking that it's going to have to do all the same work that a trigger would have to do except it's going to have to do it across the network from the webserver to the database server and still hit on the database server unless there's some serious caching on the webserver and then I wonder how you'd make such a lookup fast and with low resource usage and without having to have a huge amount of memory in the webservers. And, then there'd also be the need to keep such cache in sync, correct?
OR, are you saying that the front-end ALREADY has this data (the ID_User and the ID_Ride for both the REQUESTS and the RIDES tables before either insert and it's just a wicked simple equality check in the front-end code? (In which case, a trigger would actually be a stupid waste of database server time and resources).
Again, thank you for any help in understanding here.
yosiasz January 2, 2022, 6:02pm #6
What is the requirement? I am a full stack developer (master of none)
The requirement is what the OP wrote in his original post... prevent writing to REQUESTS table if the ID_User and ID_ride for that insert exist in the RIDES table with an extra check for a date in the REPETTIONS table.
Or at least that's how I interpret what the OP wrote.
actually this is a great and common (sometimes contentious) discussion between DBAs and mid tier developers. The trend is nowadays, in my own experience, specifically when it comes to .net mid tier, a lot of the business logic is done in the middle tier via ORM such as entity framework etc and LINQ. I think this is a great discussion to have here without dogma towards either stack
JeffModen January 2, 2022, 10:22pm #9
That's precisely why I'm asking... It IS a very contentious subject and the only way I can make it less contentious is to ask how it would be done on the front-end so that I know and can present both options.
So, how could the OP's request be done on the front-end in an efficient manner taking both the WebServers and the Database Server resources into account? Once I know that, then I could begin to understand when someone should do such a thing on the front-end rather than using something like a trigger on the backend.
Either way, there's still a serious advantage to doing it with a trigger... it would solve the issue no matter if it were multiple different parts of the application that needed such a check (although it could be modularized in the front-end code) and it would also guarantee that the rule(s) would be enforced if someone were using a different app or doing data manipulation from the backend without the benefit of a front end.
JeffModen January 2, 2022, 10:28pm #10
@lur ,
While we're waiting, we can work on solving it with a trigger. Do you still need help on this? If so, we need a little more information (or, at least I do).
To be specific, are you saying that a row already exists in the both the Rides and Repetitions tables and that your trying to insert a for that contains the ID_Ride of those existing rows into the Requests table and that's when you want to make the check using the trigger?
yosiasz January 2, 2022, 10:55pm #11
You would not do it on front end. But in the mid tier.
For ex via traditional rest api or the newest graphql
So in mid tier service you could call a stored procedure or via EF verify that it meets requirement
Would need to know what his mid tier is written in if op's software has any. It could be written in access vba or even excel
JeffModen January 3, 2022, 1:02am #12
Ok. Just for grins, let's say the mid tier service was written in EF. EF would have to hit the database a minimum of 3 times, correct? Once for the Rides table info and once for the Repetitions table to get the data and then if everything worked out correctly, then once more to insert into the Requests table, correct?
And a stored procedure would have to do the same thing, correct?
yosiasz January 3, 2022, 1:13am #13
Depends on arch design such as caching etc. But suffice to say with ef u could do one read and one insert. So 2 db calls via ef.
How many for a trigger?
One from the mid tier. It would just require the insert. Internally, the trigger would work a bit like a stored procedure in that it would, if an "after" trigger, check the two tables. If the conditions were correct, that would be the end of it it. If not correct, the trigger would rollback the insert.
In SQL Server, you could write an "Instead Of" trigger to check the data and two tables before doing the insert. If everything is ok, then the insert would happen. If not ok, no insert and no rollback.
I DO wish that MS would build true BEFORE triggers like what Oracle has. Those are SO SIMPLE. "Instead of" triggers in SQL are a PITA, especially for UPDATEs (not applicable here, though).
So, the bottom line sounds like two trips through the NIC if it's coming from the mid tier and it has to do the same work as a trigger or 1 trip through the NIC and do the work in a trigger.
Because of the added benefit that the trigger would also enforce the rules for other apps and non-app procs and human driven inserts on the back end, the trigger wins IMHO.
If caching on the WebServer is done, I'm still thinking the trigger wins because the cache does not need to be kept up to date when using a trigger.
I believe that, unless you have some form of proof as to an advantage of doing all this through the mid-tier without the use of a trigger, I'll have to continue to be "contentious" and say the trigger wins. The only thing that would be better is a stored procedure because it would work very much like a true BEFORE trigger and not do the INSERT if conditions were wrong. The disadvantage there is there would be no enforcement of the rule if someone did a direct INSERT using the likes of SSMS or even some other proc.
One good reasoning of doing all things in the mid tier is that it is db agnostic. Triggers and sprocs are specific to certain database products.
How would triggers work in an app that spans multiple time zones countries continents
Heh... That's a little bit like a famous author (who's name I won't mention here) saying that you should only write ANSI SQL just in case you might want to do a database migration someday instead of ever using the powerful proprietary features of many of the relational database engines.. Of course, he's the same guy that recommends violating ANSI date formats because he like a certain way of listing a single month as a whole.
And what makes you think that you can't write triggers (or any other code) that operates correctly when spanning multiple time zones?
agree 100% on anybody using the words always or never especially on tech stuff. "just in case you might want to do a database migration someday" does not negate the fact that you might have to do a lot of rewrite. So as you say why miss out on the powerful features.

Hey guys, this was for an academic exercise that i had to deliver and time has expired already.
Thanks anyway for your help.

"academic exercise". So share with us what you've learned and what solution you ended up with.

Thank you for being a part of our tryout process. We look forward to an exciting 2018-19 season!
"The Winterhurst Hockey Association (WHA, ID# OHH0013) is a volunteer, non-profit organization, under IRC section 501(c)(3), dedicated to the growth and development of youth hockey. WHA exists as an educational / recreational organization that provides a progressive pathway for children ages 4 - 18 on how to play the exciting game of ice hockey. WHA is a member of the Cleveland Suburban Hockey League (CSHL) - which consists of over 25-member organizations - and operates under the auspices of USA Hockey, the national governing organization for amateur hockey in the United States. WHA has no connection whatsoever - financial, managerial or otherwise to Serpentini Arena at Winterhurst Municipal Ice Rink, the city of Lakewood Ohio, or the Lakewood Board of Education. Winterhurst Ice Rink serves as our "home ice" for practices and home games. WHA functions under a board of trustees elected bi-annually by the members."
Player Development Director
Tim Okicki will continue to serve as the Player Development Director for the 2019-20 season. Tim will have an active role in our tryout process this year and will continue to provide on-ice assistance to all WHA coaches and oversee our skill sessions this summer and throughout the regular season.
2019-20 Tryouts
The WHA Board and coaches recognize that tryouts often cause a great deal of anxiety among players and parents. It is the hope of the Board to allay some of this anxiety by providing the information below. Any player or parent who has further questions should feel free to contact the WHA Board.
The March 2019 Open Tryouts will be for the Squirt, Pee Wee, and Bantam divisions only. All Mite tryouts will occur in August.
Tryout Fees - A payment of $150 will be collected by WHA prior to a player being allowed to participate in on-ice tryouts. Once tryouts begin this payment is not refundable. Please note that $75 of this payment will be applied to a participant's 2019-20 season registration fees.
Tryout Duration - There will be 3 on-ice evaluation sessions for each division this year. All players should plan to attend all 3 on-ice evaluations.
Tryout Groupings – Tryouts will be conducted separately by age classifications (i.e., squirts, peewees, bantams) and the WHA reserves the right to split the groups up or add additional on-ice sessions for evaluation purposes if necessary.
Tryout Jerseys – All skaters should bring both home and away game jerseys to all tryouts. If you played at another organization, please use your game jerseys. Your skater will be notified at check-in as to what jersey color to wear for tryouts.
Abbreviated Tryouts - At any point during the tryouts players who in the opinion of the evaluators should clearly be placed on either the highest-level team or the lowest level team in a division may be excused from following tryout sessions to maximize the time that evaluators have to observe others.
"Playing up" - Any player wanting to play up in the next older division above which their birth year dictates must submit a formal written request to the Winterhurst Hockey Association Board at least one week prior to tryouts. A decision based on feedback from coaches and the WHA Director of Player Development will be made whether to allow the player to tryout for a team in the next older division. The player will then be evaluated at tryouts by no less than three people, one being the WHA Director of Player Development. The evaluation method will be the same used for all players trying out at the desired level of play. This team of evaluators will determine the appropriate team placement for the player. Please note that being granted permission to tryout for the next older division does not guarantee team placement in that division.
While tryouts are ongoing, parents shall refrain from speaking about the tryouts to any other member of the evaluation process: coaches, evaluators or coordinators. This will help ensure that the process is run in the most objective manner possible.
Any questions or concerns should be directed to a WHA board member.The WHA board shall intermediate any discussion between participants and evaluators related to process, selections, etc.Further, any extraordinary circumstances that require consideration shall be discussed first with the WHA board.
Evaluation Process and Criteria
Tryout sessions have been designed to provide each player the maximal opportunity to exhibit their skills and playing ability. On any given day players will be evaluated by no less than 3 separate evaluators to assist in the determination of which team they will best fit with based on their individual skills and abilities. All efforts will be made to incorporate the assessments of a maximum number of evaluators during the tryout process. In other words, division teams won't be placed based on the evaluations of only three individuals. The on-ice evaluations will be conducted by WHA Board selected independent evaluators, coaches, and the WHA Player Development Director, Tim Okicki.
The following is the structure the WHA intends to implement to conduct tryouts. Adjustments may be necessary and made based on the number of participants on the ice. The WHA reserves the right to adjust or change the plan as needed.
Evaluation Focus - Individual Skills; Creativity; Situational Sense
Basic skating skills – 10 mins.
Participants will then be split into three groups which will rotate though three different activities focused on the following.Players will spend approximately 15 minutes in each activity.
Skating Skills with and without puck
Passing and Shooting
Small Area Games
Evaluation Focus - Individual Skills; Competitiveness; Situational Sense; Team Play
Participants will be split into three groups which will rotate though three different activities focused on the following.Players will spend approximately 10 minutes in each activity.
Skating and Speed
Stick Handling and Puck Control
3, 3v3 Cross Ice Games - 30 min
Evaluation Focus - Competitiveness; Situational Sense; Team Play
Stretch and Skating Warmup – 5 mins.
3, 1v1 Cross-Ice Games - 10 min
Selection and Notification
We will strive to have approximately 15 players (including goaltenders) on each team.
You will be contacted by the Head Coach of the team you have made no later than 72 hours after the last day of your age groups tryout. You will be asked to confirm your commitment to the team by registering for the season within 48 hours of being offered a team placement. Once your registration is confirmed your position on the roster will be secured. If you are unable to commit to the registration within the specified timeframe please notify the coach and the WHA Board to discuss, otherwise the roster position will be offered to another player.
Teams will be selected by Coaches in collaboration with the WHA board, other evaluators and the Director of Player Development, Tim Okicki.
Please note that any of the following criteria may be taken into consideration when making roster selections.
Tryout Performance and Evaluations
Skating Skills
Passing Skills
Puckhandling Skills
Hockey Sense and Team Play
Preferred Playing Position
Prior Season(s) Playing Level
Feedback from Prior Season Coaches
Behavioral Concerns and History
Attendance History
Help your child deal constructively with the evaluation and placement process. Your encouragement to play hard, and have fun, will do more to promote a long-lived "hockey career" than anything else.
Understand that the Tryout Process is inherently imperfect and that there is a subjective element to the process and that decisions will include considerations beyond what happens on the ice during tryouts (see list above).
Understand evaluators must make tough decisions. The WHA Board has created what it believes to be a fair process that relies on good, thoughtful, and fair people doing the best they can.
If you have a question about where YOUR CHILD was placed, you have a right to inquire so please contact the Board of Directors. As needed, the Board of Directors will consult with Tryout Coordinators, Evaluators and the Board. Please do not attempt to contact evaluators or coaches during the tryout process, as that type of communication undermines the integrity of the process.
The WHA WILL NOT disclose the evaluations of other tryout participants nor will the WHA Board, coaches or evaluators engage in a discussion or debate as to comparative player placements.
30-55 Game Season
Adhere to USA Hockey ADM Standards
Participate in the CSHL
Operate as close as possible to a 2-1 Practice to Game schedule
Spring Hockey Program
Summer Clinics starting in April with Tim Okicki, Player Development Director – 9 sessions
